A CANTERBURY University law

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

“I can’t comment

It is understood it is no the

The Star has been told it is a

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

Police would also not comment

Dalziel to decide soon if she will run again 

Lianne Dalziel 

• By Julia Evans 

MAYOR LIANNE Dalziel 

remains tight lipped over 

whether she intends to 

stand for a third term. 

But she said a decision 

will be made soon. The 

local body election takes 

place next October. 

“The mayor is still 


undecided. She has a 

number of things to work 

through, but the decision 

is not far away,” a city 

council spokeswoman 

said. 

When the race for the 

2016 election heated up, 

Ms Dalziel indicated this 

would be her last term. 

She announced she 

would be running only 

five months before the 

vote. 

But in June, Ms Dalziel 

said she would make a 

final decision after the 

city council’s Long Term 

Plan had been released 

at the end of that month. 

That was then delayed 

until August but still no 

decision has been made. 

Deputy Mayor Andrew 

Turner said he is interested 

in the job, but only if 

Ms Dalziel does not run 

again. 

National List MP Nicky 

Wagner also admitted in 

June that the idea of her 

running for mayor had 

“cropped up.”

Final surfacing work for 

Western Belfast Bypass will

stage of works will last for one 

week and be a chip seal coat. 

During this work there will be 

times when two lanes of traffic 

will reduce to one lane. The 

chip seal coat will be allowed to 

settle before a final asphalt coat 

is applied later in the month. 

Student’s big Bake Off chance 


MECHANICAL engineering 

student Larissa Wilson says there 

is a science to baking. 

But that went out the window 

when the cameras turned on and 

the stress of being a contestant in 

the new season of the Great Kiwi 

Bake Off set in. 

Ms Wilson said at home her 

scientific background from 

Canterbury University does play 

a big role in her baking. 

“At home, in my general life 

when I’m baking I think I am 

quite scientific, paying attention 

to the measurements. But with 

the stress of being on the show, 

in the very first episode I have 

more than one disaster,” she said. 

But while Ms Wilson said 

people should expect to see her 

under pressure, the show was a 

once in a lifetime opportunity 

for the 22-year-old. 

“It’s the best thing I’ve ever 

done.” 

The first episode premieres on 

TVNZ 2 at 7.30pm on Tuesday 

– and Ms Wilson will be surrounded 

by a big group of her 

friends. 

“I’ve invited some friends over 

because I would rather everyone 

laugh at me when I’m there, 

rather than behind my back.” 

Plus, Ms Wilson plans on 

redeeming herself from some of 

the disaster moments from the 

first episode by making some of 

the baking. 

Ms Wilson said the show was 

filmed in two weeks and it was 

a bit like having an out-of-body 

experience. 

“It 100 per cent feels like a dream 

now. You do your shows and a 

couple of months later everyone 

finds out you were on it,” she said. 

Now she’s ready for everyone 

to see the show and excited to see 

the reaction. 

“The thing that surprised me 

the most was how real it was. 

Everything felt real, though I 

haven’t seen the final edit yet.” 

Her friends only recently 

found out about her secret baking 

career, she’d had to keep her 

involvement in the show a secret. 

“I’m sure they were wondering 

why I was giving away lots of 

food,” she said. 

The show is a spin-off from 

the Great British Bake Off, one 

of the United Kingdom’s most

and family, but I do hope some 

baking opportunities arise. Even 

if nothing comes though, I’m still 

happy I did it.”

City council steps away from Water NZ 


THE CITY council has quit 

Water New Zealand over 

“misaligned” views on the 

control of water. 

Chief executive Karleen 

Edwards has drawn a line in the 

sand over Water 

NZ’s stance on 

chlorination and 

water control 

by quitting the 

organisation. 

“As I advised 

[chief executive 

Karleen 

Edwards 

John 

Pfahlert 

John] Pfahlert, 

I made the decision 

because I 

do not feel that 

Water NZ’s recent 

advocacy is 

aligned with the 

council’s strategic 

direction on 

water and our 

desire to develop 

our own strategies 

and policies 

to address local 

water issues,” Dr Edwards told 

The Star. 

She said Water NZ’s agenda 

does not fit with the city council’s 

agenda. So membership had 

ended. 

“The advocacy of Water NZ for 

a one-size-fits-all proposal for delivering 

and managing water services 

is clearly seen as misaligned 

with Christchurch City Council’s 

direction and aspirations of our 

communities.” 

Water NZ, the country’s 

principal advocate for water, supports 

findings from the Havelock 

North Water Inquiry, following 

the 2016 gastro crisis, which left 

four people dead and 5500 ill. 

City councillors have been 

battling to keep the water free 

from chlorine since the Government 

began cracking down on 

unsecure water sources following 

the incident. 

But Mr Pfahlert said leaving 

Water NZ would not have any 

impact on the city council’s bid 

to keep control of water. 

“It is the Government that will 

decide what approach to take in 

any reform of the drinking water 

sector.” 

The decision has the backing 

of Mayor Lianne Dalziel, who is 

“pleased.” 

Former Mayor Garry Moore 

said the move sends a clear directive 

to the Government on plans 

to take control of water away 

from councils. 

“The message that this sends 

to the Government is that the 

second largest city does not think 

this is acceptable,” he said. 

“I think it’s probably a rediscovery 

of the people’s republic 

of Christchurch. We don’t want 

Water NZ’s way of thinking.” 

Dr Edwards said the decision 

does not affect city council head 

of three waters and waste John 

Mackie’s position on the board 

of Water NZ. Last month it was 

revealed Mr Mackie had filed 

a defamation claim against Mr 

Moore, seeking $500,000 in damages. 

Mr Mackie claims Mr Moore 

defamed him by suggesting he 

was pushing the interests of Water 

NZ’s pro-chlorination stance. 

The city council’s membership 

of Water NZ will end on October 

30. 

National MP Gerry Brownlee 

said the move is “totally cosmetic” 

considering individual 

city council staff membership 

will continue. 

However, he did not want to 

see chlorination in the city. 

City councillor Vicki Buck said 

the city council was opposed to 

“practically all” of Water NZ’s 

agenda. 

“Water NZ now has a clear 

agenda of mandatory chlorination, 

which we totally reject . . . 

that removes local control of our 

water and I think people need 

that.” 

City councillor Deon Swiggs 

said the move “put a stake in the 

ground” to mark the city council’s 

stance on water control. 

Christchurch’s water has been 

temporarily chlorinated as the 

city council moves to improve 

infrastructure. Ms Dalziel has 

vowed to fight to get an exemption 

from blanket chlorination.

hurts – the back pocket. 

Canterbury Hospitality 

New Zealand president Peter 

Morrison said the event 

organised by media company 

Stuff was on for far too long 

during the industry’s busiest 

season and it was taking away 

money from 

businesses. 

The market 

is set to be held 

in Hagley Park 

for 12 nights 

from February 

6 to 17. 

But Mr Morrison 

said a lot 

of businesses 

in the city had 

BUSINESS: The Night Noodle Markets are taking away customers from central city 

restaurants and bars. 

“struggled” with the market 

drawing customers away from 

restaurants and bars since it 

began four years ago. 

This year’s event saw 160,000 

people attend over the 10 days of 

the market. 

“It’s on for a very long time,” 

he said. 

Mr Morrison said it would 

only take away more customers 

than this year as the event is running 

for two additional nights. 

“It’s almost two weeks over our 

busiest period. These people just 

come in from overseas and do it, 

taking away business from those 

of us who have to pay rates, rent 

and staff wages 365 days a year,” 

he said. 

Though Mr Morrison said 

businesses did support the concept 

of the markets, boosting the 

city’s profile. 

“We’re not against it in its 

entirety, but it just runs for too 

long over the summer season . . 

. it could be over a long weekend 

or on at a far better time of the 

year to bring people in when its 

not busy.” 

It comes at a time where Mr 

Morrison said Christchurch’s 

hospitality industry is particularly 

“turbulent” and still recovering 

from the earthquakes. 

Several restaurants and bars 

have been forced to close their 

doors. 

Six of restaurateur Tony 

Astle’s businesses were put into 

voluntary liquidation last month. 

Though many have found new 

owners since, including the Art 

Gallery’s Universo. 

Restaurants The Villas, 

Harlequin House, Tequila 

Mockingbird, Rockstar Pizza 

and Drink Parlour, Chopped, 

Canterbury Cheesemongers, 

Chinwag, The Good Goat, and 

Iconic Club and Bar have also 

been closed in the central city. 

But Mr Morrison said the 

industry was optimistic the 

warmer weather would bring 

people in. 

“We are all looking forward to 

a good summer, but these events 

don’t help,” he said. 

in brief 

Call for freedom 

camping bylaw change 

A hearings panel will 

recommend the city council 

make a bylaw change to ban 

freedom camping in all but 

one area of Akaroa. Under the 

existing Freedom Camping 

Bylaw, freedom camping is 

banned in Akaroa’s commercial 

area and main waterfront areas, 

but is allowed in other areas 

for up to two nights in selfcontained 

vehicles. If the panel’s 

recommendations are accepted 

at a city council’s meeting in 

November, the new restrictions 

on freedom camping in Akaroa 

will apply from December 1. 

700 submissions on 

speed limit changes 

The city council received more 

than 700 submission on its 

proposal to the speed limit to 

30km/h on roads in the city’s 

south. Changes were proposed 

to be made to St Asaph St 

between Madras St and Hagley 

Ave and Hagley Ave between 

Selwyn St and Hospital corner. 

It also proposed making Oxford 

Tce between Riccarton Ave 

and Antigua St and Antigua St 

between Tuam St and Oxford Tce 

10km/h.

THE CENTRAL city will 

once again have a library when 

Turanga opens tomorrow. 

The mammoth $92 million 

building on the corner of 

Colombo and Gloucester Sts 

will be the largest library in the 

South Island – a third larger 

than the former central city 

library, which was closed following 

the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake. 

The city council has a long 

weekend of celebrations 

planned including special 

walk-throughs of the building, 

food trucks and live music. 

It will be live-streamed on 

YouTube from noon. 

Head of libraries and 

information Carolyn 

Robertson said people can 

expect to be blown away by 

what they find. 

“We deliberately haven’t 

given too much away in the 

lead-up because we want people 

to walk through the doors 

and experience that wow-factor 

for the first time.” 

“The technology is amazing, 

the interior of the building 

itself is stunning, and the cultural 

art on display throughout 

is wonderful. It’s all in all an 

incredible experience, and we 

can’t wait to see the look on 

people’s faces as they discover 

it for themselves.” 

Visitors will be able to 

choose from either a full 45min 

tour through all five floors of 

Tūranga, or a shorter 15min 

tour covering just the ground 

and first floors. 

The Star recently revealed 

the project is at least $500,000 

under budget. 

The library will feature

A GROUP of young skateboarders 

are terrorising central city 

businesses and randomly beating 

people up on the streets. 

Hereford St businesses, Robert 

Harris, Hachi Hachi, 

Ibis Hotel, Pita Pit and 

Burgerfuel say they 

have on-going issues 

with youths displaying 

anti-social behaviour 

outside their premises. 

A 21-year-old man 

(right), who didn’t 

want to be named, 

told The Star he was 

assaulted by the group 

earlier this month, 

when he was sitting in Cathedral 

Square. He received a black eye, 

split lip and broken glasses. 

The victim was also told during 

the assault, “you don’t know who 

we are.” 

Hachi Hachi employee Patina 

Hu said the issue with the youths 

has been on-going for three 

months. 

Ms Hu and other employees 

have received verbal abuse from 

the skateboarders both while they 

are working and walking to and 

from work. They have also tipped

“We don’t feel safe, it’s horrible,” 

she said. 

Robert Harris employee Jamie 

Lancaster-Pringle said the cafe 

has verbally trespassed 

several people in the 

group. 

“They yell at each 

other and are loud and 

disruptive. They take 

up the whole footpath 

and sit on our outdoor 

furniture smoking, 

without purchasing 

anything,” she said. 

Ibis Hotel general 

manager Bradley Condor 

said the problem is 

“significant.” 

Burgerfuel employee Britt 

Bowden said the youths loiter 

on the street and “terrorise and 

intimidate people.” 

He said CCTV camera footage 

of the Cathedral Square assault 

was not able to identify the offenders. 

Central City Business Association 

chairman Brendan Chase said 

he is aware of the issue and that 

police response is required. 

Police were unable to respond to 

questions from The Star yesterday.

Number of dogs on dangerous 


FIFTEEN DOGS have been 

classified as dangerous in the last 

year, bringing the total register 

to 55. 

The offending list of dogs 

includes 11 german shepherds, 

10 american pit bulls, nine 

staffordshire bull terriers, seven 

bull mastiffs, three rottweilers, 

which are all cross-breeds, 

and two purebred huskies, 

city council head of regulatory 

compliance Tracey Weston 

said. 

There is also a jack russell, 

retriever cross, collie cross, 

alaskan malamute, dogo 

argentino cross, labrador 

cross, shapei cross, american 

staffordshire terrier and 

american bull dog on the 

dangerous register. 

It follows the trend of the 

number of dogs around the city 

continuing to increase, with 

nearly one dog per 10 people. 

“The total number of dogs 

recorded on the council’s dog 

registration database for the 

period was 38,500 compared to 

37,816 last year,” a city council 

report said. 

Dogs are classified as dangerous 

if owners are convicted of 

the dog attacking another dog, 

evidence is given on more than 

one occasion that the dog was

council’s dangerous register in the last year. 

aggressive, the owner admits that 

the dog is a threat to people or 

other animals. 

All 15 in the last year had evidence 

given against them. 

Once dangerous, owners must 

then ensure that the dog is kept 

within a fence that is not the only 

way to get into a property. 

City council rules also say the 

dog must not be allowed to be 

“at large” meaning unrestrained 

and running freely in public or 

on private property without the 

property owner’s permission. 

The dog must have a muzzle 

that allows it to breathe and 

drink without obstruction, be 

controlled on a leash, within one 

month of the classification, the 

owner has to provide a vet’s certificate 

to say the dog has been 

desexed and pay a dog registration 

fee 50 per cent higher than 

the standard fee. 

It comes as last week a maltese 

cross, Buttons, was attacked and 

mauled to death by a labrador on 

New Brighton Beach. 

However, the labrador was 

a dog from Rolleston in the 

Selwyn district.

The city council recorded five 

owners as probationary, meaning 

they cannot become the owner 

of any new dogs but may keep 

any registered dogs they have and 

may be required to do dog education 

or obedience courses. 

The status lasts about two 

years. 

There was one dog owner disqualified 

from owning dogs for 

four years, meaning they cannot 

own a dog at all. 

“The council took three 

prosecutions, one prosecution 

resulted in a conviction where the 

dog owner was disqualified from 

owning dogs for four years,” a 

city council report said. 

“The breeds were one labrador 

cross, two american pit bull 

terriers cross type dogs,” Ms 

Weston said. 

Fifty two dogs were classified 

as menacing based on acts of aggression, 

taking the total number 

to 241. 

There were also 20 new dogs 

added to the menacing register 

based on their breed, which increased 

the number to 156. 

Breeds which are immediately 

classified as menacing are 

brazilian fila, dogo argentino, 

japanese tosa, american pit bull 

types and perro de presa canario. 

Meanwhile, the city council 

received 9633 complaints relating 

to dogs barking, wandering, fouling, 

rushing, attacks on domestic 

animals and unregistered dogs. 

Two hundred and forty complaints 

were attacks on people. 

It investigated 726 priority one 

complaints for dogs attacking 

people, stock, poultry, domestic 

animals and protected wildlife or 

traffic hazards relating to wandering 

on roads. 

Also in the last year, the city 

council issued 1411 infringement 

notices for breaches against the 

Dog Control Act. 

Earthquake strengthening 

for Kmart in The Palms 


KMART’S SITE in The Palms 

Shopping Centre has a rating of 

less than 34 per cent of the new 

building standard. 

It comes following the store’s 

sudden closure for repairs a 

week ago. 

The building was added to the 

Ministry of Business, Innovation 

and Employment’s register 

of earthquake-prone buildings 

on October 4. 

A spokesperson for The Palms 

said the current rating of the 

store does not meet the 34 per 

cent threshold, making the 

works a necessity to ensure it 

meets all standards for compliance. 

“The necessary consents and 

approvals have been obtained, 

and the seismic strengthening 

upgrades are under way. The 

Palms is working hard to confirm 

a reopening date, and we 

aim to have an update as soon as 

possible.” 

The new building standard 

said earthquake-prone buildings 

are those “likely to collapse 

causing injury or death, or 

damage to any other property, 

during or following a moderate 

earthquake.” 

A spokesperson for Kmart 

told The Star the shop temporarily 

closed in order to undergo 

some seismic strengthening upgrades, 

following feedback from 

a recent routine assessment. 

“Although the store passed all 

safety assessments, additional 

recommendations were made 

given that Christchurch is an 

area with high levels of seismic 

activity. We decided to implement 

improvements immediately, 

as the safety of our team 

members and customers is our 

number one priority.” 

A block of eight flats on the 

central city’s Dorset St were also 

added to the register last month. 

It is a category one heritage 

building. 

There are currently 588 

buildings in Christchurch on the 

Government’s earthquake-prone 

building register.

Public lectures 

on 1918 flu 

pandemic 

A CENTURY ago nearly 9000 

New Zealanders fell victim to a 

deadly influenza outbreak. 

The centenary of this tragic 1918 

event will be marked during Beca’s 

Heritage Week when Canterbury 

University Emeritus Professor 

Geoffrey Rice will present two 

public lectures. 

He will speak at the When Death 

Jumped Ship – Remembering the 

1918 Influenza Pandemic public

Wednesday from 7pm and will 

also give a UC Connect Public 

Lecture: Black Flu: Why should 

we remember the 1918 influenza 

pandemic in New Zealand? on 

Thursday from 7pm at the Ilam 

Campus C-Block lecture theatres. 

He said lessons learned from the 

1918 influenza pandemic, which 

remains the country’s worst public 

health disaster, can help us plan for 

future outbreaks. 

The risk of another major flu 

pandemic is even greater now 

because of international jet travel, 

he believes. 

He has published two previous 

books on the flu pandemic and his 

updated new book, Black Flu 1918:

*2017 TIN report 

Looking for a career change? Tech is New Zealand’s third-largest export sector 

and is growing fast, with over 9000 new jobs expected to be created over the 

next two years*. To fuel this growth, NZ needs more people with a grounding 

in tech to meet the rapid expansion within this exciting and varied area, which 

crosses into many industries.

#TechIsWhereItsAt 

@SIGNALICT 

SHIFT is an innovative industry-driven programme for those who are seeking a new career path who may not have a 

tech background. Open to degree holders in any discipline, SHIFT learners have come from diverse backgrounds such 

as medicine, philosophy, sociology, commerce, geography, marketing, engineering and humanities. Available in both 

Christchurch and Dunedin, this one-year programme offers relevant and current content and skills to ensure you are 

well equipped to work within the tech area, where the skills you have learnt in previous work and study are highly valued.

Tech jobs exist in every industry, 

from aviation to zoology. 

Combine ANY DEGREE 

with the innovative SHIFT 

programme and kickstart your 

new career today. 

SHIFT uses immersive studio-based learning and real-world industry experience to produce graduates with 

a solid base of core computing skills, as well as communication and employability skills required in today’s 

collaborative workplaces. SHIFT includes opportunities to meet and work with local tech industry employers; 

industry visits, group projects designed and 

mentored by industry, and a 200-hour industry 

placement, where you work within the organisation 

on a project to add value to your host, and to 

showcase your capabilities. 

Opportunities 

With tech roles existing in nearly every area from 

aviation to zoology, career possibilities are extensive. 

Through the SHIFT programme, learners can focus 

on software design and development, or allied 

roles, such as business analyst, data scientist, web 

designer, project manager, user experience designer, 

technical writer, sales and client support . . . and the 

list goes on. 

SIGNAL’s SHIFT programme transitions graduates 

from any discipline into tech. Many new and mature 

graduates are considering tech as a viable and lucrative 

career option, and this is increasing as the range 

of roles within tech becomes more widely known. 

Diversity of background and experiences is 

welcomed in the tech sector. It is strongly recognised that it takes many viewpoints to best design products that meet customer

‘Deaf’ salesman persistent 


RESTAURANTS ARE stopping 

a ‘deaf’ salesman from going 

into their premises because he 

continues to harass patrons. 

The man approaches customers 

sitting at tables in cafes, bars 

and restaurants and leaves a red 

key chain with a note saying he 

is deaf and looking for 

$10 donations. 

But people are sceptical 

as to whether the 

man, who never speaks 

or signs, is really deaf. 

OGB bar manager 

Simon Kerr said he has 

asked the man to leave 

the premises four times 

last week, twice on the one day. 

“I find he is a problem to our 

guests . . . each time I have approached 

him people have felt 

more comfortable giving the 

key ring back and not ‘donating’ 

anything to him.” 

Camille 

Le Lievre 

Mr Kerr said he believes the 

man isn’t homeless. 

“He dresses in new-looking 

labelled clothing, rides a nice 

bike and seem well kept, hair 

combed, no facial hair etc.” 

Café manager at Rollickin 

Gelato Grace Irving said she has 

seen the man both at her work 

and other bars around the city. 

“I have asked him to 

leave before. From my 

experiences with him I 

do not think he is deaf. 

He appears at times to 

understand what I am 

saying.” 

“He will go around and 

put them (the notes) on 

people’s tables and make 

them feel bad because he is deaf 

. . . he comes away from places 

sometimes with $40, $50, $60,” 

she said. 

Diner 66 general manager 

Camille Le Lievre said she asked 

the man to leave the restaurant 

three times in one week. 

“It’s not an okay thing to do, 

to solicit in a business . . . I don’t 

believe he is deaf. I have friends 

who have tried to sign to him but 

he doesn’t respond. When I talk 

to him he doesn’t sign to me.”

•Currently the city council has no by-laws around begging 

in public places. 

•In 2015, city councillor Paul Lonsdale proposed the idea of 

a begging by-law, however, it was shelved after realising 

it would be costly, hard to enforce and wasn’t effective 

when put in place in Auckland. 

•Acting head of strategic policy Claire Bryant said a 

hearing panel recently heard submissions on the review of 

the Public Places Bylaw and their final report will go to the 

city council for approval within the next five weeks. 

•The report recommends ‘investigating a regulatory 

mechanism in regards to anti-social nuisance behaviour 

and report back to the Regulatory Performance 

Committee.’

as the police, Central City Business Association and social

Development 

for Lyttelton 

on cards 

• By Matt Salmons 

LYTTELTON MAY be 

next to receive attention 

from Christchurch’s urban 

development agency. 

In a report given to the 

city council last week, 

Development Christchurch 

Ltd said it was providing 

investors and developers with 

“case-management support for 

development in Lyttelton.” 

DCL chief executive Rob Hall 

said the agency had considered 

the city’s suburban Master Plans 

in the past. 

“Lyttelton was included in this 

work, and various possibilities 

were raised at the time. The potential 

for development at certain 

locations remains, however, no 

detailed options have been progressed.” 

Mr Hall said work on what 

those developments could be 

had not “continued past the 

opportunity stage,” but some 

local businesses had been spoken 

to about “plans for the future.” 

He said DCL was currently 

working with two land-owning 

parties in Lyttelton.

Quarry consultation a ‘PR stunt’ 

• By Anan Zaki 

COMMUNITY consultation 

over a controversial quarry 

planned for the outskirts of 

Christchurch has been labelled a 

publicity stunt. 

People living close to the 

proposed 170ha Fulton Hogan 

quarry near Templeton say they 

have heard little from the company. 

Fulton Hogan says it regularly 

consults with businesses, 

neighbours and residents since 

forming a sevenmember 

community 

advisory 

group in May. 

A member 

of the advisory 

group 

told a quarry 

neighbour it met 

Craig 

Stewart 

fortnightly for 

eight sessions, 

but has stopped 

meeting since August 30. 

But a Fulton Hogan spokeswoman 

says it has other forms of 

consultation, such as an information 

centre at the proposed quarry 

site at Curraghs, Dawsons, 

Jones and Maddisons Rds. 

Maddisons Rd llama farmer 

Anne Thompson believes the 

consultation is a “PR stunt”. 

Until Tuesday, she was not 

contacted by the advisory group 

since its formation. 

The first contact was a 

Facebook message from a 

member of the advisory group. 

Ms Thompson said the member 

informed her that Fulton Hogan 

created the meeting agenda and 

covered issues such as noise and 

dust. 

The member also told Ms 

Thompson that the advisory 

group will meet again if there is 

a need. 

“How can seven people represent 

the community? It’s just 

rubbish,” Ms Thompson said. 

The advisory group member 

did not want to comment about 

the advisory group to The Star, 

and referred questions to Fulton 

Hogan. 

Said Fulton Hogan South 

Island general manager Craig 

Stewart: “The [advisory 

group] is made up of members 

representing a wide cross-section 

of the community, including 

immediate neighbours.” 

Dawsons Rd horse trainer 

Sandi Curtin said it was “bizarre” 

for Fulton Hogan to say it 

has been consulting with the 

neighbours and businesses. 

“We certainly haven’t heard

quarry.

MARTIN 

HUNTER 

anything from the community 

advisory group,” she said. 

“If there have been any 

discussions, they have been very 

secretive about it.” 

Mrs Curtin said her family’s 

55-year horse training business 

will be lost because quarry trucks 

will pose a danger to the horses 

which race on a track next to 

Dawsons Rd. 

The Weedons Residents’ 

Association is part of the 

advisory group, but the 

Templeton Residents’ Association 

declined to join, Mr Stewart said. 

Weedons Residents’ Association 

secretary Gary Doyle said 

Fulton Hogan left many questions 

unanswered. 

“They were not exactly the 

most forthcoming. They have 

not put up any details that are 

concrete,” Mr Doyle said. 

“But until they make the 

[resource consent] application, 

there’s not much anyone can do.” 

Templeton Residents’ Association 

chairman Garry Kilday said 

Fulton Hogan wanted to meet 

the six-member No Quarry 

sub-committee, not the wider 

community. 

“The reason we declined to 

attend was we didn’t believe the 

sub-committee could speak for 

2500 Templeton residents. 

“If [Fulton Hogan] inform the 

community as a group about 

what’s going on, we will look at 

it,” Mr Kilday said. 

He said the company should 

meet the community at the residents’ 

convenience. 

Curraghs Rd resident Simon 

Moore had not heard from the 

advisory group either. 

“I’m half a kilometre away and 

they certainly haven’t [contacted] 

me, none of my neighbours have 

been contacted either.” 

Fulton Hogan expects to lodge 

resource consent applications 

early next month.

Successful sea trials for tug 




THE HISTORIC tug Lyttelton 

could be carrying passengers 

for the first time in three years 

in December after successfully 

undertaking sea trials last week. 

Tug Lyttelton Preservation 

Society stokers successfully 

brought the 112-year-old tug’s 

boiler up to the 

right pressure 

over four days. 

Crew members 

were given the 

green light to 

head out for sea 

trials last week. 

Mike Bruce 

Tug Lyttelton 

Preservation 

Society head 

stoker Mike Bruce said he and 

the crew were “very pleased” 

and it was a “very emotional 

time for many.” 

“We never expected this a 

week ago, never expected it.” 

Mr Bruce said the society’s 

short-term task will be to address 

any further issues raised 

by the marine surveyor present 

last week. The surveyor’s report 

would be discussed at the society’s 

next meeting. 

The stoking of the engine went 

“absolutely perfectly,” Mr Bruce 

said. The optimum pressure of

stadium, the land bound by 

Tuam, Hereford, Madras and 

Barbadoes Sts will become 

Wilson Parking lots for at least 

four years. 

The car parking company 

applied to the city council for 

resource consent to establish 

582 temporary car parks on 

several sites for the next five 

years. 

However, independent 

commissioner Ken Lawn 

approved the consent for a fouryear 

term. 

In his report, Mr Lawn 

80psi was reached by 10am last 

Thursday. 

All equipment on-board was 

run and signed off by an attending 

marine surveyor and a 

marine architect as steam was 

pushed through the engines to 

warm them. 

Mr Bruce said the engines 

“ran like they had never been 

down” after they were started 

for the first time in three years 

at 11am. 

“It’s a very real credit to the 

said: “In particular there was 

a disagreement about the 

appropriate term of consent.” 

City council officers wanted 

a three-year term due to 

the uncertainty of when 

construction of the stadium will 

start. There is money set aside 

for the 2020-21 financial year 

for the stadium build. 

Wilson Parking has appealed 

the decision, as it still wants a 

five-year term. 

“It would utilise an otherwise 

vacant area until the land is 

required for the new stadium. 

While that may be as early as 

three years . . . it could be up to 

five years,” Mr Lawn said.

have looked after them all this 

time. Not to forget those men 

who designed and built them all 

those years ago,” he said. 

When it was suggested the 

crew could “slip the lines and 

take her off the wharf,” Mr 

Bruce said it was like “kittens 

running to the cream bowl,” 

with society members scrambling 

in excitement. 

“One of our members, who 

joined three years ago and turns 

“I have decided that a term of 

four years is appropriate. I think 

that is long enough to recoup 

development costs and may well 

still coincide with the development 

of the site of the stadium.” 

The time frame for appeal will 

be set down by the court, a city 

council spokeswoman said. 

The sites are all gravel surfaces, 

except on Cashel St which 

is sealed.

up every week, had never seen 

the engines running. Never 

sailed on-board while under 

her own power. The guy was 

ecstatic.” 

He said the tug’s lap around 

the harbour went “too quick” 

and feedback from those who 

had seen it said it was “huge, 

better than we hoped for.” 

“We intend to build on 

that momentum and keep 

this historic vessel for future 

generations.” 

Temporary car parking plan for stadium site 

GRANTED: Wilson Parking 

will move into the site of 

the city’s new stadium 

until construction begins. 

COST: Two new backboards 

have been bought for the 

Tall Blacks game. 

$175k put into 

Horncastle 

ahead of 

Tall Blacks visit 


NEARLY $175,000 has been spent 

on getting Horncastle Arena up to 

scratch for the Tall Blacks game. 

Two scoreboards, two backboards 

and two shot clocks have 

been purchased by the city council 

for $174,189 in preparation 

for the game against Jordan on 

November 29. 

“Securing this equipment now 

means we can host basketball 

matches at Horncastle Arena until 

the Metro Sports Facility opens in 

late 2021,” said head of recreation, 

sports and events Nigel Cox. 

The scoreboards, backboards 

and shot clocks had to be purchase 

to meet FIBA hosting requirements. 

It is the first time the 

Tall Blacks will play in the city in 

14 years since they upset Australia 

80-75 in 2004. The game against 

Jordan is an Asian zone second 

round FIBA World Cup qualifier. 

The equipment will ultimately 

be used at the long-awaited $300 

million Metro Sports Facility. 

Construction of the centre is 

expected to start early next year 

with ground works currently 

under way. 

The more than 30,000m 2 facility 

will include a 10-lane, 50m competition 

pool with spectator seating, 

a diving pool, leisure pools, 

hydroslides, multi-purpose indoor 

courts, group fitness rooms, an 

aquatic sensory space, and a high 

performance sports centre. 

It is set to be the largest aquatic 

and indoor recreation and leisure 

venue of its kind in New Zealand.

Residents’ quake isolation issues 

Funding call 

for disaster 

psychologist 


A DISASTER psychologist could 

investigate post-quake issues for 

one of the hardest hit suburbs 

from the February 22, 2011, 

event. 

And it could set a precedent 

for other isolated suburbs. 

The Dallington Community 

Trust has asked for funding 

from the Coastal-Burwood 

Community Board for a disaster 

psychologist to look into the ongoing 

effects of social isolation 

in the area. 

Trustee and long-term 

resident David Collins said 

a large number of people on 

the edge of the residential red 

zone feel very isolated as a 

result of the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake. 

“We lost 50 per cent of our 

population,” he said. 

“We also lost St Paul’s School 

and church, a rest home, the 

Orbiter bus route, the medical 

centre and chemist and we’re 

about to lose Banks Ave School.” 

Mr Collins said some residents 

have to travel through red zone 

just to get to their property. 

“Everyday they’re constantly 

reminded of what they’ve lost, 

the long-term residents really 

find it difficult.” 

Mr Collins said the group 

wants a disaster psychologist 

to investigate the extent of the 

issue. 

“We want to find out how big 

the issue is and then turn that 

around into a wellness programme.” 

Board member and trust 

chairwoman Linda Stewart said 

the issues stem in suburbs on the 

fringe of the residential red zone 

from the loss of housing and 

people in the communities. 

“There are pockets in the east 

that are so isolated and totally 

unable to move on,” Ms Stewart 

said. 

“The area has become meaningless, 

the meaning of community 

is gone.” 

Ms Stewart said the social 

isolation has become so extreme, 

in some people it is a “low 

level of post traumatic stress 

disorder.” 

DIFFICULTY: 

Long-term 

Dallington 

resident 

David Collins 

said a large 

number 

of people 

on the 

edge of the 

residential 

red zone 

are feeling 

isolated. 

“There not in disaster 

mode anymore but they’re 

stuck and they can’t moved on.” 

Ms Stewart said the board 

had signalled it could be wellness 

plans could be rolled out 

in some of those other suburbs 

if the Dallington model was a 

success. 

“It’s not just in Dallington. 

It’s all those suburbs on the 

residential red zone fringe, like 

Burwood, Avondale, Redcliffs 

and Heathcote. This is going to 

be bigger than Dallington,” she 

said.

Warning over leopard seal 


OPEN WIDE: The juvenile 

leopard seal which came up 

on Sumner Beach. 

A MARINE biologist is warning 

people to be wary around 

leopard seals on Canterbury 

beaches. 

It comes after a leopard seal 

came on to Sumner Beach last 

week. 

The seal was photographed 

Sumner woman Hanna Zhionberg 

who had been heading out 

to paddleboard on Tuesday night. 

Marine mammal biologist 

Krista Hupman had been researching 

leopard seal sightings 

in New Zealand for about three 

years. 

She said in spite of most 

people’s impressions, visiting 

leopard seals were “not unusual 

at all,” with up to 50 seals visiting 

New Zealand each year. 

Dr Hupman said it was difficult 

to say why the creature 

was here. 

“It seems each leopard seal has 

their own agenda. It’s hard to say 

what each one is up to.” 

The Department of Conservation 

website recommended staying 

at least 20m away from any 

leopard seal and keeping dogs 

on a leash. 

Dr Hupman said the animals 

could inflict serious injury, but 

would not normally attack people 

as they were usually on the 

best to rest. 

“They’re not this aggressive 

animal that people have in 

their minds,” Dr Hupman 

said. 

Ms Zhionberg said she had 

not heard of a leopard seal visiting 

the area in the two years she 

had lived in Sumner. 

“I was honestly, really excited. 

Antarctica for me is at the 

top of my bucket list. Getting 

something from Antarctica to 

come here is really awesome.” 

•If you see a leopard 

seal report it to 0800

her team will be able to

CHRISTCHURCHNZ staff are 

having to re-apply for their jobs 

as part of its ongoing restructure. 

The tourism, events and development

it was reshuffling within months 

of its creation. 

It is the result of a merger 

between the city council’s events 

team, Christchurch and Canterbury

with all staff to ensure 

we had the right roles in each

The structure was finalised 

at the start of the month after a 

new senior leadership team was 

set in place in July. 

“We are now working with 

existing staff to give them the 

option to apply for roles within 

the new structure. Once this is 

complete we will know which 

roles we need to advertise externally,” 

she said. 

Though she said it has not yet 

seen any redundancies, there will 

be changes to roles and some 

roles replaced by others. 

“Some staff may leave the

She said ChristchurchNZ is 

looking at “redeployment options” 

for staff. 

“One staff member resigned 

proper to the structure being 

confirmed, while four others 

have indicated they will not be 

applying for roles and are serving 

notice periods.” 

Ms Andrews said the company 

is still partway through the 

restructure process to enable to 

teams to work more efficiently. 

Chief executive Joanna Norris 

told The Star in August the new 

senior leadership team, which 

was announced in February, was

to staffing were necessary. 

“We are currently evaluating 

all activity . . . once we have

Demolition of school will be bittersweet 


IT WILL be a bittersweet feeling 

for Redcliffs School when 

physical demolition of its former 

buildings starts in just over a 

week. 

But opponents of the move still 

hope it can be delayed. 

A Ministry of Education 

spokeswoman has said 

preparation for 

the demolition 

would begin 

either today 

or tomorrow. 

The physical 

demolition of 

Chris 

the buildings 

would then 

begin after 

Doudney 

Labour Weekend and last up to 

six weeks, she said. 

Redcliffs School principal 

Rose McInerney said it would 

be “bittersweet” to see the old 

buildings demolished, but the 

heart of the school “is its people.” 

“For us, it is a sign of the 

progress of the new rebuild and 

coming home [to Redcliffs].” 

THe Friends of Redcliffs Park 

had been fighting the demolition 

and the planned construction of 

a new school in Redcliffs Park. 

THe group had been set to 

meet with the Workforce and 

Education Select Committee 

on September 19 to discuss a 

petition they sent to Parliament 

earlier in the year. That meeting 

had been delayed until October 

17. 

Group member Chris Doudney 

said he was not aware of the 

planned demolition start. 

“Certainly the ministry said 

they were going to demolish the 

FAREWELL: 

A ceremony 

to farewell 

the former 

Redcliffs 

School 

buildings 

was held in 

June. 

buildings this month.” 

Mr Doudney said the group 

had asked the select committee 

to request the ministry to delay 

the demolition until after it had 

finished the process. 

“THey said they can’t order it, 

they could ask. I had hoped the 

ministry would have taken notice 

of what the select committee 

said.” 

Previously, the ministry had 

said that the demolition would 

not be delayed by the progress of 

the petition. 

Mr Doudney said he would feel 

better if the ministry held off for 

another two weeks at least. 

“I doubt we’ll be lying 

Down in front of bulldozers, 

But we will if that would help 

at all.” 

Earlier this year, the school 

held a “really special” farewell for 

the old site before crossing the 

road to turn the sod on the site of 

the new school build in Redcliffs 

Park. 

Current and former pupils 

shared stories of their time 

At the old site and “a few tears 

were shed,” Mrs McInerney said. 

“THat was a really special 

moment for us, to reflect on the 

history of the site.” 

She said school staff were proud 

that they had already retrieved 

as many items of historical value 

from the site as they could. 

Weaving goodbye to plastic supermarket bags 


AS NEW Zealanders face the 

end of the plastic bag era, one 

woman is helping the cause with 

an ancient Maori tradition. 

Lana Hart is the 

founder of Kai Baskets, 

an initiative to help 

shoppers reduce their 

plastic consumption – 

and it’s proving popular. 

The company’s 

Facebook page has 

reached 250,000 people 

in 10 days. 

The baskets, made 

entirely of flax, are designed to 

hang on the side of trolleys and 

are used to hold fresh produce. 

Kai Baskets began its first 

pilot programme at the end 

last month at Raeward Fresh 

Lana Hart 

Tower Junction. Like trolleys, 

the baskets are free to use for 

customers. 

The project came about 

through Ms Hart’s own 

frustration when food shopping 

for her family of five. 

“I would end up walking 

home with a bunch of 

plastic bags that I didn’t 

want . . . I always just 

wanted them to provide 

something to cart the 

produce from the produce 

section to the checkout.” 

she said. 

Ms Hart said it “made 

sense” to use a plant material 

which is prevalent in New 

Zealand and has already been 

traditionally woven into Maori 

kete – flax baskets. 

A small team of about 30, 

many of whom are volunteers, 

worked on creating the baskets, 

which are made from the 

same design as wahakura baby 

baskets, which are made for 

newborns to help reduce cot 

death. 

The pilot is being funded by 

the Sustainable Initiatives Fund 

Trust. 

To keep them clean, the 

flax baskets are sanitised at the 

time as the trolleys and other 

baskets. 

One basket can take about 

45min to weave. 

However a lot of preparation 

work happens before this to 

prepare the flax for weaving. 

This includes stripping and 

measuring the flax, boiling it to 

get rid of germs and then airdrying 

it. 

FLAX SOLUTION: A new Christchurch business is helping 

shoppers reduce their plastic usage by introducing flax 

baskets to hold fresh produce.

CLOSE CALL: Bernadine Worsdale rescued her 65-year-old neighbour 

from a house fire. 

Smoke alarms after 

woman rescues neighbour 


SMOKE ALARMS will be 

installed in homes in two 

Sydenham streets after a 

man was pulled from a 

house fire recently. 

Fire and Emergency 

New Zealand 

will visit properties 

in Scott St 

and Deyell Cres 

on Saturday to 

install smoke 

alarms and provide 

safety advice. 

A 65-year-old 

Scott St resident 

was pulled from 

his burning 

home, which 

didn’t have working smoke 

alarms, on September 29, 

after he is believed to have 

fallen asleep. 

The man was rescued 

by his neigbour, who has 

spoken about how she battled 

“unbearable heat” to 

save him. 

It was just after 9am when 

Bernadine Worsdale looked 

Bernadine 

Worsdale 

out of her window to see 

smoke billowing from the 

property next door. 

She sprinted outside in her 

pyjamas and saw another 

neighbour running towards 

her, who phoned 111. 

“I was focusing on my 

neighbour and 

thinking get him 

out,” said Mrs 

Worsdale. 

Mrs Worsdale 

ran to the front 

window of the 

burning house, 

pulled it ajar 

before yelling for 

her neighbour, 

who she didn’t 

wish to name. 

“I think he was sleeping, 

if I hadn’t of known his 

name, he may have not 

woken up and responded 

. . . it was so intense, I hate 

fire, the heat was unbearable.” 

He appeared a bit 

“dazed and confused,” 

said Mrs Worsdale who 

then helped to pull him 

out of the window. 

“I tried to get him to 

jump but he couldn’t. I 

pulled him from under the 

armpits and dragged him 

out of the window.” 

Fire investigator Wayne 

Hamilton said the fire 

had been caused by unattended 

cooking while the 

man was in his sunroom. 

The house did not have 

working smoke alarms. 

The fire continued to 

burn for more than an hour. 

Mrs Worsdale said she 

was driven by adrenaline 

to help her neighbour, who 

thanked her profusely. 

“It all happened so fast. I 

am just so grateful and so 

pleased he’s alive . . . I gave 

him some water, a blanket 

and a hug. He was very 

confused and shaken up.” 

Mr Hamilton said the 

incident acts as a timely 

reminder that all homes 

should have working 

long-life photoelectric 

smoke alarms in every 

sleeping area in a house.

DREDGING WORK will begin 

on the lower Heathcote River to 

help reduce flood risk. 

The dredging is part of the 

city council’s land drainage 

recovery programme and will 

be carried out by contractor City 

Care between Opawa Rd and the 

Woolston Cut (an engineered 

channel). 

The work 

below Opawa 

Rd will remove 

more than 

20,000 cu m of 

sediment that 

has built up 

since regular 

dredging of the 

river stopped 

in the mid-1980s. 

The river will be closed to recreational 

vessels such as kayaks 

and canoes, between Opawa Rd 

and Radley Park, while dredging 

is under way. 

City council land drainage 

manager Keith Davison said it 

will restore capacity lost after 

the earthquakes and through 

ongoing silt deposits in the lower 

Heathcote River channel. 

“By restoring the capacity of 

the river channel, the risk of 

properties and streets flooding 

during heavy rainfall will be 

reduced, benefiting local residents 

and those who live further 

upstream,” he said. 

“There will be some disruption 

while this project is carried out 

but the contractor will minimise 

that as much as possible and we 

think the benefits to residents in 

the long-term will be valuable.” 

Mr Davison said the dredging 

will also remove contaminated 

sediment which entered the river 

from commercial and street 

storm water run-off to improve 

the habitat in the river. 

“This will complement benefits 

from the new storm water filter 

being built nearby on Richardson 

Tce.” 

“We’ll be planting native trees 

and plants during the landscaping 

phase following the dredging work 

which will enhance the ecological 

and landscape values of the area.” 

The project will be carried out 

in two stages. 

Stage one, between Radley 

St and the Woolston Cut, will 

begin with tree removals from 

riverbanks this week before 

dredging with an excavator and 

barge starts at Connal Reserve in 

mid-October. 

Work on this reach below Radley 

St will continue until June,

News 

Now 

Heathcote River dredging to reduce flooding risk 

Keith Davison 

A CHRISTCHURCH 

hairdresser’s illegal take of cats’ 

eyes and paua displayed a blatant 

disregard for the health and 

future sustainability of a precious 

fishery, says the Ministry for 

Primary Industries. 

Haiqiang Lin, 25, was 

sentenced in the district court 

after earlier pleading guilty to 

gathering three times the legal 

limit of paua, the majority of 

which were undersized, as well as 

three times the legal limit of cats’ 

eyes from an area in the Akaroa 

Harbour Taiapure. 

PROGRESS: The city council is set to begin dredging on the Heathcote River. 

He was fined $2000 and 

ordered to pay court costs of 

$390. 

Lin was caught after MPI 

fishery officers on patrol in 

the area in March, became 

suspicious and pulled his vehicle 

over for inspection. 

After initially denying he had 

gathered shellfish or paua from 

the area, he admitted, under 

further questioning, that he had 

been. 

THe fishery officers then 

discovered 48 black-foot paua 

– 45 of which were undersized, 

ranging from 99mm to 124mm – 

and 70 cats’ eyes. Only one paua 

was of legal size (125mm). 

MPI spokesman Howard Reid 

said the offending was very 

disappointing. 

“THe Akaroa Harbour 

Taiapure committee was 

concerned enough for the 

species in the harbour that they 

established a lower catch limit 

a few years ago to reduce the 

fishing pressure,” he said. 

“Under the revised regulations, 

the limit for cats’ eyes is 20 per 

person per day. Mr Lin clearly 

took over three times that 

limit. 

“THese shellfish are a keystone 

species in the food web in which 

they exist. If these shellfish are 

removed from the ecosystem, 

a monoculture of algae could 

result, severely reducing the 

ability of other more highly 

valued species, like mussels, to 

exist in the area.” 

Mr Reid said taking 

undersized and excess paua is 

also very damaging. 

“THey are a slow-growing 


including tidying up the site and 

landscaping from April. 

Walkways on both sides of 

the river will be closed during 

some periods of the work, with 

safety fencing and signage in 

place. Access will remain open 

through Radley Park and to 

Laura Kent Reserve through 

Laura Kent Pl. 

Stage two, between Opawa 

Rd and Radley St, will also 

start mid-October with dredging 

by an excavator based on the 

Clarendon Tce side of the river. 

Dredging on the stage two 

reach will be split into two phases 

to minimise the impact on 

whitebait during their spawning 

season of March to June. 

It is expected to be complete by 

September. 

There will be some parking 

restrictions and traffic disruption, 

including single-laning, on 

Clarendon Tce while trucks are 

being loaded. 

The city council has asked residents 

to keep children and pets at 

a safe distance from the worksite 

and construction machinery 

while the project is underway. 

Investigation and design work 

for the Stage three reach from 

Opawa Rd to Hansen Park is 

underway and dredging of this 

section is expected to happen late 

next year through to early 2020. 

$2000 fine for gathering illegal amount of seafood 

shellfish. Daily limits are in 

place to ensure enough paua 

survive through to breeding 

maturity to help sustain the 

fishery. The taking of excess 

and undersized paua threatens 

the future sustainability of the 

fishery and causes local depletion 

which causes more stress to other 

areas.” 

Mr Reid says the fine 

handed down to Lin, who has 

previously been caught taking 

excess paua and undersized 

paua, should serve as a warning 

to others.

Take a Kid 

Fishing to 

go ahead 

• By Ashleigh Monk 

TAKE A Kid Fishing will go 

ahead as planned on Sunday. 

Weed eradication efforts at 

The Groynes lakes in August 

meant the event which starts at 

9am was at risk of being postponed 

due to chemicals in the 

lakes – but the city council has 

given the all clear. 

“Weed control has been completed 

for now, and it is likely 

that we will need to do some 

necessary follow up later in the 

year,” city council head ranger 

coastal and plains Robbie 

Hewson said. 

A chemical treatment that 

was harmless to fish and plant 

life was used to eradicate an invasive 

weed, lagrosiphon major, 

which was choking the lakes. 

The weed, which formed 

dense mats of vegetation, had 

affected lakes at the popular 

recreation reserve since 2014. 

The reserve’s fishing lakes 

were closed on August 12 and 

reopened on August 23. 

The weeds were then removed 

by a mechanical harvester six 

weeks after the spraying. 

Nurse works to cure poverty 


A CHRISTCHURCH Hospital 

nurse is doing her part to “break 

a small pocket of poverty.” 

In 2014, Aimee Mackey saw 

a post on Facebook about a 

12-year-old Ugandan boy who 

had died after not receiving 

medical care. 

She said the post stuck with 

her and she decided to donate 

some money to feel better – but it 

wasn’t enough. 

“The caption on the post said if 

he lived in the developed world, 

he would have gone to school on 

Monday. That stuck with me, I 

felt like he followed me, he was in 

my dreams,” she said. 

Now, Mrs Mackey and her 

friend, Melanie Sutton, support 

36 children through their small 

charity, Hope for Orphans International. 

Located in Uganda, the organisation 

leases a foster home for 

orphans and runs a community 

outreach programme. 

The children receive full education, 

adequate nutrition and 

medical care. 

Within the orphanage, there is 

a mix of children who have been 

abandoned, orphaned or their 

MAKING A DIFFERENCE: Christchurch Hospital nurse 

Aimee Mackey started a charity with her friend in 2014 

which is changing the lives of children in Uganda. 

families cannot be traced. 

The community outreach programme 

provides families who 

are struggling with the means to 

start self-sustaining projects that 

will help them earn income. 

Mrs Mackey is in touch daily 

through Skype and Facebook 

with the children and the social 

worker employed by the charity. 

“This enables our donors to 

create meaningful relationships 

with the children and receive accurate 

and current updates of the 

difference their financial support 

is helping achieve.” 

“I am so passionate about it 

. . . I love that we have an opportunity 

to do something that will 

have a future impact . . . I want 

to help break a small pocket of 

poverty,” she said. 

The children speak both 

Lugandan and English. 

“The home functions like a 

family. About 18 of the children 

have all grown up together since 

they were two or three-yearsold.” 

Mrs Mackey and her husband 

Joshua visits Uganda every 12-18 

months and will travel there 

again in November with their 

two children, eight-year-old Eden 

and four-year-old Lily. 

Mrs Mackey said they “scrimp 

and scrounge” for the charity 

where they can but paying for 

school fees in Uganda can be 

overwhelming. 

Several fundraising events 

in the past have helped to raise 

money including, mufti-days, car

Trading concern stalls Sumner project 


ARCHAEOLOGICAL interest 

and concern for summer 

businesses have stalled work on 

the Sumner Master Plan. 

Originally slated to begin last 

month, stage one of the Marriner 

St-west and Wakefield Ave 

enhancement project will begin 

in March. 

City council 

manager 

planning 

and delivery 

transport Lynette 

Ellis said 

Sumner business 

owners 

Darrell 

Latham 

had expressed 

concern that 

construction 

could impact 

their summer trading. 

“So this is why work is 

scheduled to start in March,” she 

said. 

Sumner Business Association 

head Rachael Lonsdale said it 

was “good to see” work would 

happen over the winter months 

and hoped concerns about the 

number of car parks and the 

location of a bus stop could be 

resolved soon. 

“We have been informed there 

DELAY: The start date for planned works for the area of Wakefield Ave and Marriner St in Sumner 

has been delayed until March. 

will be a meeting to discuss the 

works closer to the time. 

“From a business point of view, 

this would be better if it is sooner 

rather than later so we can make 

any preparations in a timely 

manner.” 

Initially, it was believed an 

Accidental Discovery Protocol 

would have been sufficient to 

cover the project for risk of 

archaeological discoveries. 

This meant that if there was 

any discovery during work on 

the project, Heritage New Zealand 

would be notified and work 

would stop. 

However, due to the discovery 

of human remains last year near 

the Sumner surf club, and the 

risk of further discoveries in 

the area, it was decided a full 

archaeological authority was 

required. 

Ms Ellis said the authority 

had was granted on September 

21 but the appeal period 

ended on Saturday. The 

authority would require an 

archaeologist to be on site during 

excavations. 

It also required that Ngāi 

Tūāhuriri were informed prior 

to work beginning in archaeological 

areas. 

Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board member 

Darrell Latham said there had 

been “several delays” to the first 

stage of the village upgrade. 

He said the decision to delay 

work due to the need for an 

archaeological authority was “a 

disappointment” but “the correct 

one.” 

Work was estimated to be 

completed by September 2019. 

This put it only two weeks 

behind the original plan, as the 

two planned phases of work over 

a total eight-month period had 

been combined into one phase 

over six months. 

Works planned in the 

enhancement project included 

making the area more accessible 

to cyclists and pedestrians, 

adding shaded seating and more 

planting.

Our People 


Ross Gray 

Artist uses his work as a way of 

Former teacher, artist 

and heritage advocate 

Ross Gray is on a 

mission to protect the 

city’s historic buildings. 

He talks to Julia Evans 

before Heritage Week 

starts tomorrow about 

how he got behind 

the placard line and 

the importance of our 

history 

Tell me a little bit about 

yourself? 

So basically I grew up in the 

1950s in Wanganui, which still 

has a wonderful collection of 

heritage buildings and also 

has a very strong visual arts 

culture. I came to art school in 

Christchurch in the mid-1960s 

and trained and worked as a 

secondary school art and art 

history teacher. Then I worked 

as a tertiary drawing tutor, 

all the time maintaining my 

practice as an exhibiting painter. 

It was quite hard work. Having 

retired, I’m still trying to be the 

full-time painter, which I could 

never been throughout all those 

years. Although heritage matters 

do take up a lot of my time, my 

painting is actually quite closely 

related to this. 

How did you get into heritage 

conservation? 

From teaching secondary 

school art history, I’ve long had 

an interest in periods and style in 

architecture. My introduction to 

heritage activism and advocacy 

was in the mid-1990s when 

suddenly eight Christchurch 

heritage buildings were 

threatened with demolition. I 

joined others in a group called 

SOB – Save Our Buildings – and 

we protested vigorously. One of 

them was the Papanui Railway 

Station, which has been turned 

into a cafe, another was a house 

just opposite the Christchurch 

Art Gallery, which survived. 

Some were saved but shamefully 

others like the beautiful Kaiapoi 

CAMPAIGNER: 

Ross Gray has 

been painting 

since he got 

his first set of 

oils in primary 

school. 

Woollen Mills building, at the 

bottom of lower Manchester 

St, were demolished. During 

this time, as a board member of 

the Christchurch Civic Trust, 

I was involved in the retention 

of several heritage buildings in 

the square. But this activism 

was dramatically reignited 

post the September 4, 2010, 

earthquake with the imminent 

demolition of the wonderful 

Manchester Courts building 

and has continued pretty much 

unabated since then. That was 

the beginning of the full-on 

activism and has involved 

writing quite a few letters to the 

editor, being deputy chair of 

two voluntary groups, Historic 

Places Canterbury and the 

Christchurch Civic Trust. Also 

being a committee member of 

Restore Christ Church Cathedral 

Group, along with things like 

organising campaign rallies, for 

example The Majestic Theatre 

and organising the running of 

the award-winning heritage 

display and info centre, Shop 7 

in Cathedral Junction. That was 

hard work, organising rosters and 

things, but I quite enjoyed it. 

What is it about heritage that 

is so important to a city? 

The meaning of heritage is 

broadening, as your article 

last week showed with the city 

council’s heritage strategy policy. 

But in terms of built heritage, 

a city without its architectural 

heritage is perhaps like, sadly, 

a mind without its memory. 

When people talk about a listed 

building, they mean a heritage 

building which related to 

Heritage New Zealand’s list of 

buildings. The city council also 

has a list of heritage buildings 

called the schedule and there 

is confusion between the 

two. Listed and/or scheduled 

heritage buildings are the taonga 

(treasures) which we should 

pass on to our descendants 

having inherited them from our 

forebears whose ideas, aspirations 

and skills are embodied in the 

buildings – the past linking to 

the present and to the future. A 

so-called city without the layers 

of architectural time, styles and 

associated memories is no real 

city. Heritage buildings are the 

most significant part of the city’s 

collective memory in my view, 

everyone shares in them through 

the public memory rather than 

the private memory. 

What impact did the 

earthquakeS have on 

Christchurch’s heritage? 

Unfortunately far, far more 

than it should have. Many of the 

heritage buildings which gave 

Christchurch its rich identity 

would still be here (along 

with all the new ones needed), 

restored or awaiting restoration, 

if the Government at the time, 

National-led, had shown more 

awareness of and sensitivity to 

our city’s cultural values once the 

immediate emergency was over. 

We’re evolving... 

Our latest neighbourhood, ‘The Borough, Faringdon’ has just 

been released and it’s got the great bones you need to build 

the home of your dreams. Titles early 2019. 

It’s just a few giant strides from Rolleston town centre and new 

schools, and has quality environmental design features unlike 

anywhere else in Canterbury. 

With sections between 400 and 887m 2 , prices starting 

at $169,000. Your future starts here.

about the McLeans Mansion rebuild go to www.mcleansmansion.nz 

preserving heritage buildings 

Amongst other things it took 

far too long (nearly four years) 

to develop a heritage recovery 

programme and from mid-2011 

until its demise, CERA enabled 

reluctant owners to demolish 

their listed heritage buildings 

with no opportunity for the 

public to object to this, with no 

democratic voice . The website 

developed by one of my heritage 

colleagues, Lynne Lochhead, 

shows 250 demolished listed 

and or scheduled heritage 

buildings. This kind of heritage 

destruction following a natural 

disaster is unprecedented in 

the world and the historic 

heritage loss and environmental 

impact of embodied energy loss, 

greenhouse gas emissions and so 

on has itself been disastrous. 

What are some of your 

favourite examples of heritage 

buildings around the city? 

Had it not been for the quake, 

I would be saying the former 

Christchurch Railway station 

and CPIT War Memorial 

Hall, the Regent Theatre and 

the former Millers building, 

Cranmer Courts,which we 

mounted a month-long protest 

outside during its demolition 

in 2012, and many others. But 

amongst those still here, the 

Old Government Building and 

the former Chief Post Office, 

Christ Church Cathedral and 

the Cathedral of the Blessed 

Sacrament, the newly restored 

Midland and nearly restored 

Public Trust building, the Isaac 

Theatre Royal, the Duncan 

building on lower High St. 

I’m thrilled that McLean’s 

Mansion, which has a special 

part in the history and hearts of 

Christchurch is being restored by 

the McLean’s Mansion Charitable 

Trust. Three of the four board 

members are Christchurch Civic 

Trust Board members as well, 

and I hope the city will fully 

support the restoration of this 

amazing building which has such 

a vivid past. 

Have you travelled to heritage 

sites around the world that have 

CAMPAIGN: Ross Gray is currently involved in the restoration 

of the McLean’s Mansion on Manchester St. 

inspired you? 

A recent brief stay in Victoria 

in British Colombia, Canada, 

where my brother lives, showed 

similar heritage buildings to 

what we had and which we could 

still have many, including lots 

of beautiful late 19th-century 

brick buildings. Madrid also 

has wonderful 19th and early 

20th-century buildings, and 

its many city squares are an 

inspiration when considering the 

redevelopment of our Cathedral 

Square. We spent six weeks in 

Germany and a visit to Dresden 

showed what can be done when 

heritage is valued and there’s a 

will to restore. The Frauenkirche, 

much, much more severely 

damaged by Allied bombing 

in 1945, a few weeks before 

then end of the war, than either 

of our cathedrals were by the 

earthquakes, was finally fully 

rebuilt a decade or so ago. It was 

a huge job and they basically had 

to start from scratch. 

How did you get into 

teaching? 

Really by default. I had 

absolutely no wish to be a teacher, 

but looking back am very glad 

I became one. At the time, late 

1960s, I needed some income 

to keep on being a painter so I

went to teachers’ college where I 

met my wife, Lorraine, who was 

training to be a language teacher. 

We started off our long teaching 

careers at Southland Boys’ High 

School and worked our way 

via Timaru Boy’s High School 

back to Christchurch. With 

lots of support from Lorraine I 

maintained a combined teaching 

and painting career for 40 or so 

years. I was head of department 

for art at Cashmere High School 

in the 80s and 90s before I went 

to CPIT to teach drawing in the 

degree courses, including to 

architectural studies students, 

which I enjoyed very much. 

Apart from institutional teaching 

I ran my own art course called 

Artmakers at Bishopdale for 

some years and then was leader 

of the Centre of Contemporary 

Art Critique Group for three 

years before the quakes. With 

CoCA closed it became the 

Critique Group Christchurch 

which met at my studio and 

has continued under its own 

steam in the last two years. And 

I taught an italics course at the 

Canterbury Workers Education 

Association in 2016, trying to 

save the dying heritage of good 

handwriting. It’s opposite CoCA 

and has very good courses. 

Tell me about your art career? 

Well, in a sense it started in 

late primary school when I got 

my first set of oils, carrying on 

through secondary school and 

then at university. I’m what you’d 

call a contemporary semi-abstract 

painter. Since the mid 90s I’ve 

had a general theme of the built 

environment and the importance 

of heritage buildings in the city, 

ideas about which I explore in 

acrylics with line, form, colour, 

space and composition in layers 

to try to relate to the “layers” of 

time, history and memory in 

the world of the city. And since 

the quakes, to express my sense 

of anger and frustration at so 

much loss of heritage buildings 

through unnecessary demolition. 

I’ve exhibited widely in New 

Zealand, including many times 

in Christchurch at the CoCA – 

which had been the Canterbury 

Society of Arts until 1996. 

My first Christchurch show 

was exactly 50 years ago with 

others in the old CSA Gallery 

in Durham St, shamefully 

demolished after the earthquakes. 

My last one to date at CoCA, was 

a large survey exhibition which 

had only just opened when the 

February 22, 2011, earthquake 

struck. It was open for five days 

before the quake and a lot of my 

work we couldn’t get out for a 

long time afterwards. I’m now 

working towards a solo exhibition 

booked for next October at 

Chambers Art Gallery, behind 

which is my studio on Moorhouse 

Ave. 

What do you do on a day off 

from art and heritage? 

I’m involved in politics, 

which more or less comes into 

everything really, including 

heritage and into my painting 

ideas. To be honest, I don’t really 

have many days off. My main 

relaxation is actually swimming, 

hard work but very enjoyable. I’ve 

competed a few times in swim 

events at Masters Games. Almost 

every day I do 1km or 2km and 

building up at Jellie Park, which 

is a great way to start the day.

Little River Band to headline festival 

WELL KNOWN for classic 

songs Cool Change, Lonesome 

Loser and Take it Easy on Me, 

Little River Band will return to 

New Zealand to headline Selwyn 

Sounds on March 2. 

The band is known for a string 

of instantly recognisable hits 

and was described by Eagles 

founding member Glenn Frey 

as “the best singing band in the 

world.” 

Total worldwide album sales 

and digital downloads of the 

band’s music now top 30 million 

and the group was the very first 

to have had top 10 hits for six 

consecutive years. 

It will be the first time the 

current line-up has toured here 

since the introduction of new 

rhythm and lead guitarist Colin 

Whinnery in February. 

Whinnery, of Nashville, 

brings a new voice and outlook 

to the band’s rhythm section 

while sharing lead vocal duties 

with the longest standing band 

member Wayne Nelson. 

Currently on a busy tour 

schedule in the United States, the 

band will only have a week break 

between a February 22 show in 

California and Selwyn Sounds. 

Little River Band’s next 

international tour after Selwyn

HITS: Little River Band will play at Selwyn Sounds on Saturday, March 2, at Lincoln Domain. 

next year. 

Originally formed in 

Melbourne in 1975, the band’s 

sound quickly became popular. 

Within eight months of forming, 

Little River Band had three 

Australian top 20 singles and 

two top 10 albums. 

They first travelled to the US in 

1976 and are now based there. 

The line-up of members has 

changed many times over the 

years and is now completely 

different from the original 

group. The last original member 

to leave was Derek Pellicci in the 

1990s. 

The last Australian member, 

Greg Hind, left the group earlier 

this year and was replaced by 

Whinnery. 

Nelson fronts the band on lead 

vocals and bass, supported by 

keyboardist Chris Marion, lead 

guitarist Rich Herring, drummer 

Ryan Ricks and newcomer 

Whinnery. 

Over their last few shows, the 

band has often opened with It’s 

A Long Way There before closing 

the set with crowd-favourite 

Lonesome Loser. 

The band was inducted into 

the Australian Recording 

Industry Association hall of 

fame at the 18th annual ARIA 

Music Awards in 2004 and Cool

30 Australian songs of all time.

subject line. 

Library’s grand opening 

I’VE BEEN looking forward 

to this week for months – the 

official opening of Tūranga. 

This is the name that has been 

chosen for the flagship central 

city library. It is so much more 

than a library, and from 1pm 

tomorrow it will be open to 

all. 

When I was a child, it was an 

absolute treat to come into the 

town library. We had our own 

library in Papanui, but going to 

town was special. 

It was a magnificent brick 

building on the corner of 

Cambridge Tce and Hereford St. 

I can still remember the feeling 

of entering the building and 

going into the children’s library, 

such is the strength of that 

childhood memory. 

Tūranga will create a new 

set of memories for a new 

generation in a way I would 

never have dreamed as a child. 

The Discovery Wall, for a start, 

will engage people in the city, 

telling our history and allowing 

people to share their experiences 

as well. I’m sure it will become 

a renowned selfie spot for locals 

and visitors alike. 

This is a place designed by and 

for the people who will use it, 

with the ‘your library your voice’ 

consultation attracting nearly 

2500 ideas, many of which have 

been incorporated. 

It is literally jam-packed with 

experiences. 

And it is a place for a child, as 

Mayor 

Lianne Dalziel 

AT LAST: The new central library will open tomorrow. 

I did half a century ago, to feel 

a sense of wonderment. It will 

excite that child into dreaming 

about the future and the part he 

or she can play in shaping our 

city and our world.

• By Ashleigh Monk 

A BREAKAWAY Anglican 

diocese could be established

Christchurch vicar Reverend 

Andy Carley of St Paul's in 

Papanui has revealed he will 

join with other parish clerics 

from across the country 

to establish a new national 

diocese. 

He said nine clergy from 

seven parishes in Canterbury 

had resigned and would start 

to form the diocese, separate 

from the synod of the Anglican 

Church of Aotearoa, New Zealand 

and Polynesia. 

The parishes are St John's 

Latimer Square, St Stephen's in 

Shirley, St John's in Woolston, 

St Saviour's and St Nicholas in 

Barrington, St Christopher's 

in Avonhead and St Mark's in 

Rakaia. 

"We will be joining together 

with other clergy and parishes 

from around New Zealand 

to establish a new extraprovincial 

Anglican diocese, 

one recognised by the majority 

of the world's Anglicans, but is 

separate from the current New

Bike Expo gets rolling on Saturday 

CHRISTCHURCH cyclists are a 

diverse bunch 

One of the challenges faced by 

the NZ Bike Expo organisers was 

how to stage an event for such a 

diverse community of cyclists. 

“There isn’t just one style of 

bike, nor one style of riding,” said 

event organiser Krissy O’Connor. 

“While that produces a rich 

mosaic of choice for cyclists, it 

means we have to work hard 

to ensure the weekend offers 

something for every rider.” 

The Cycling Action Network is 

the national organisation behind 

the NZ Bike Expo. 

Its desire is to have more 

people on bikes, more often. 

In Christchurch, with the 

expanding network of dedicated 

cycle routes, this goal can get 

snagged in the ‘getting to work’ 

debate with drivers and cyclists 

often at loggerheads. 

“The cycling community 

is so much broader than just 

commuting to work or school,” 

Ms O’Connor explained. 

“Fitness, friendship, 

journeying, convenience, 

challenge, or cost-saving are all 

reasons to hop on a bike any day 

of the week.” 

Community groups such as 

Spokes Canterbury, Go Cycle 

Christchurch, Frocks on Bikes, 

Canterbury Mountain Bike Club, 

Revolve and Southerncross CX 

support cycling in the city. 

All are involved with Biketober, 

Christchurch’s annual cycling 

festival, and the NZ Bike Expo, 

which is its cornerstone event. 

“Having the NZ Bike Expo 

bring the bike industry and rider 

community together is important 

for Christchurch,” said Robert 

Fleming, Biketober co-ordinator. 

“Where else can a family testride 

electric-assist cargo bikes

rider discuss the latest frames 

and rims with multiple brands, 

or a beginner rider compare bike 

styles to find the right one for 

their purpose – all in the one 

place?” 

This breadth of diversity also 

extends to the Expo speaker lineup. 

For instance, Christchurchborn 

Anton Cooper was the 2015 

world under-23 cross-country 

mountain bike champion, and 

now races professionally at the 

front of the world circuit. 

He will speak from the same 

platform as Julie Milne, who will 

share her story of using cycling 

to stay mobile, countering the 

effects of childhood strokes. 

From bike stands and racks 

to components. From e-bikes 

and tandems to children’s bikes. 

From new apparel – there will be 

changing rooms on site – to prize 

draws and competitions, the NZ 

Bike Expo is the place for cycling 

gear. 

“We also believe in education 

and experiences,” said Ms 

O’Connor. 

“A bus and big-rig will be open 

for visitors to sit in, to appreciate 

what drivers of large vehicles can,

and cannot, see. And national 

and overseas cycle tour operators 

will be on hand to help riders 

choose just the right ‘bucket list’ 

adventure.” 

To ensure visitors get the most 

from the two-day expo, entry 

tickets this year are come-and-go. 

“There is so much to take in,” 

said Ms O’Connor. “We don’t 

want people to feel rushed.”

place on Saturday and

Cycling fans stage Bike Expo 

Four people and a dog make up the NZ 

Bike Expo organising team. After months 

of planning, they’re now set to bring 

Christchurch a weekend of ‘everything 

cycling’, but first let’s find out what spins 

the team’s individual wheels. 

Leading the crew is Krissy O’Connor, 

a sport cyclist with a passion for crosscountry 

mountain biking and cyclocross. 

Popular in Europe, cyclocross riders 

complete multiple short-course laps and 

must carry their bikes over obstacles or 

across unrideable terrain. Any rider can 

try cyclocross at the Expo on Sunday 

morning, with a give-it-a-go grade before 

the open competition. 

A bike trailer is top of Krissy’s cycling 

wish list, so that she can tow Karli (the 

Expo dog) behind her e-bike, to reach 

running trails a little further from home. 

The concept of sustainable 

transportation is what drives Kate Bevin. 

Prior to joining the Expo team, she was 

finding solutions for a regional council to 

make it easier for residents to make cycling 

their primary form of commuting. It’s no 

surprise that Kate is a fan of the bike racks 

on Canterbury’s Metro buses, and there 

will be a bus at the Expo for visitors to 

experience how easy it is to load their bike. 

Mike Molony is the team’s self-confessed 

bike junkie. The ten bikes in his garage 

cover nearly any ride: full-suspension 

cross-country, Gary Fisher single speed, 

cyclocross racing, winter commuting with 

full mudguards, yet there are still times he 

borrows his fiancé’s e-bike to get to work. 

The only gap in Mike’s collection is a road 

bike, so he will have an eye on the Expo 

exhibitor specials. That is assuming he 

has time, as Mike is emcee for Saturday’s 

‘Battle of the Garage Mechanic’ – amateur 

bike mechanics competing in a series of 

Expo pressure tests. 

Describing herself as the team’s ‘Jo 

Average on a bike’, Jo Mackay rides her one 

bike every day to go where she needs to, 

and wears regular clothes doing it. After 

riding so many kilometres on her 15-yearold 

mountain bike, she’s finding it difficult 

to replace her trusted steed. 

“I’m looking forward to trying out some 

options at Expo,” Jo explained. “I want to 

see if an upright urban bike is for me, or 

whether I should stick with the mountain 

bike frame and just change out some parts 

with around-town components.” 

Jo also wants to know more about New 

Zealand’s cycle trail network, and dreams 

of taking an overseas riding adventure. 

With this level of biking passion and 

experience within the NZ Bike Expo team, 

it’s no surprise that the programme and 

exhibitor list caters to both beginner and 

experienced cyclists, on any type of bike.

Gardening 

Editorial supplied by 


www.gardener.kiwi 

• By Rachel Vogan 

IT’S THAT time of year again, 

tomato time. 

Each year when I come to 

share my tips and tricks on my 

favourite crop I come across 

things I didn’t know. Like, did 

you know that the first tomatoes 

in Europe were yellow varieties? 

Over time breeders crosspollinated 

tomatoes to breed red 

cultivars. 

Anyway, now that most of the 

frosts have packed up, and the 

days and nights are considerably 

warmer, tomatoes can be planted. 

If you live in a pocket where the 

odd late frost can appear this 

month, hold off planting yours 

for a few weeks – unless they are 

going into pots or tubs, then you 

can tuck them somewhere warm 

if need be. 

Garden centres are jam-packed 

with plants in all shapes and 

sizes. Small seedlings are in 

punnets, priced up between $4 

and $5 each, or there are plenty as 

individual plants, varying in price 

depending on size and whether 

or not they have been grafted. A 

grafted tomato has a phenomenal 

growth rate and generally 

produces a larger plant, therefore 

more tomatoes. You don’t need to 

plant as many grafted tomatoes 

because they produce more fruit. 

THE BASICS 

Sun, sun & more sun 

If you cannot find a spot in full 

sun away from blustery winds, you 

can forget about growing 

a decent crop. All-day sun will 

produce the best crop; a few hours 

in the shade is okay, but they need 

at least half a day in full sun. 

SOIL MATTERS 

When planting in the ground, 

blend in compost or tomato mix 

first. This enables the soil to hold 

on to more moisture. At this time 

I blend in my tomato fertiliser, 

too, then water the soil well. If 

you can, do this a week before 

you put the plants in the ground. 

FOOD FIRST 

Tomatoes are greedy beggars; 

Time of year to think tomatoes 

TANGY: Make sure to give your tomatoes plenty of support. 

they just love food, particularly 

tomato food which is blended 

to promote healthy roots, strong 

flower formation and fruit 

development. This specialty 

fertiliser is like a multi-vitamin for 

tomatoes and does not contain as 

much nitrogen as general fertilisers 

do. Too much nitrogen in the soil 

promotes more leaves as opposed 

to flowers, which is not what we 

want in tomatoes or other fruit 

crops such as chillies, eggplants or 

zucchini. A bag of tomato food will 

last you a season or two. 

TUBS, TROUGHS & 

PLANTERS 

Tomatoes are a good option for 

growing in pots and containers. 

Big is best when it comes to the 

size of container, as they suck 

up water and nutrients at rate of 

knots. Therefore, the plant needs 

to be able to develop a large root 

system to supports its growth 

habit. The potting mix needs to 

be top notch, too, with plenty of 

fertiliser and an ability to hold 

onto ample amounts of water. 

Suppliers make it easy and make 

specific tomato mixes, which 

you’ll find easily in the shops. If 

you wanted to make your own, 

blend equal parts of compost, 

well-rotted manure and grit for 

the base, then work in tomato 

fertiliser prior to planting. The 

risk with homemade mixes are 

weeds and the potential that they 

can ‘heat up’ if the compost or 

manure isn’t fully mature. 

SUPPORT 

Most tomatoes require staking 

to support the stem, which will 

carry the weight of the crop as 

it develops. Staking also helps 

keep the fruit off the ground. 

New dwarf and ground-covering 

varieties don’t need this extra 

support, however. Choose a 

big fat stake or use a couple of 

bamboo canes. 

HOW TO GROW TOMATOES 

IN A STRAW BALE 

This season, as I have a limited 

amount of soil space in which to 

grow tomatoes, I have decided to 

grow a few in pea-straw bales. A 

couple of gardening friends do it 

and they suggested I try it. So far 

so good. 

1. Select your sunny tomotogrowing 

spot, bearing in mind 

that once the bales become wet 

they are not that easy to move. 

2. Hydrate the bale of straw. 

This takes about 

a week of watering it once a day. 

3. Sit the bale on its side and 

remove about 

10 handfuls of straw from the 

centre of the bale to make a hole, 

leaving the sides intact. Combine 

tomato mix and tomato fertiliser 

and put this into the hole you 

have created. 

4. Water and leave overnight to 

dry out. 

5. The following morning, plant 

your tomato – and, if you like, 

some companions such 

as parsley and calendula. 

Mine has been growing for a 

month now, tucked up next to 

the barn in which I live. It looks 

healthy and is forming flowers 

and setting fruit, so fingers 

crossed it works. I am going to 

try growing pumpkins using this 

method, too! 

CROP FAILURE 

When things go wrong you can 

normally attribute it with a few 

main things: 

Stress, through a lack of 

hydration, is the cause of most 

of the problems with tomatoes. 

Once plants wilt and begin to 

collapse numerous pests and 

diseases can and will attack a 

weak plant. Hence water is a 

lifeline for tomatoes. The trick is 

to water them deeply once or 

twice a week, rather than a 

little every day, especially when 

planted in the ground. In pots 

and containers, they will dry 

out quicker, but in the ground, 

you want to encourage the roots 

to bury themselves deeply into 

the cooler earth where water 

is more available. Shallow or 

light watering only encourages 

the feeder roots to stay near the 

surface where they often get burnt 

when the soil heats up in the sun. 

Poor plant nutrient is the 

other main cause of problems. 

If you expect your tomatoes to 

be athletes in the garden, and 

perform at their best, you need 

to feed them on a regular basis, 

especially when they are being 

grown in tubs and containers.

QUESTION 

GARDENING 

ADVICE with 

I use kaffir lime leaves a lot in Thai cooking but my plant’s leaves have become quite 

yellow and speckly looking. How can I help it? 

Today’s winning question came from Amy sinclair. Congratulations! 

ANSWER 

Yellowing leaves on your kaffir lime is 

very typical of many citrus trees at this 

time of the year. It is symptomatic of a 

nutrient deficiency, especially nitrogen. 

As ‘gross feeders’, citrus respond 

very well to regular applications 

of citrus fertiliser. Apply Daltons 

Goldcote Fruit & Citrus Fertiliser 

out to the drip line every 4-6 weeks 

from early October as soil and 

air temperatures rise, through till 

Christmas. Recommence applications 

from late February through to mid- 

April which will help avoid this problem 

occurring again next season. 

Adding fresh Daltons Garden Time 

Compost around the base of your tree 

during the growing season will also 

improve the organic content of your 

soil and help with nutrient retention in 

the soil.

and tips, check out our How 

to Grow Citrus guide at

Tips to simplify your garden 

WITH THE warmer 

weather comes the 

awareness that Christmas 

is really not that far away. 

Unfortunately, most of us 

wait until the last minute 

to work on our gardens, 

just before the big day 

arrives. 

Often we find the task 

either too big or too difficult, 

hence a lot of us 

leave it incomplete or even 

worse, don’t start at all. 

Well, here are some simple 

tips to improve your outdoor 

living areas. 

1: If your garden is too 

much to handle then simplify 

it. Look at what plants 

you have. Your likes and 

dislikes. Too big or too 

small? Leaf droppers or 

sun blockers? The list goes 

on. Ascertain what has to 

go and get rid of them. You 

may be surprised at how 

simple things make a big 

difference. 

2: Remember, often less 

is best. At this stage you 

may need to seek some 

professional advice to help 

keep in mind the picture 

you want to create. 

3: If your garden and 

plant maintenance is high 

and you’re finding it hard 

to cope, then weed out the 

problem. For example, it 

just maybe time to realise 

that the roses are no longer 

suitable. Remember you 

can always substitute them 

with an alternative plant. 

4: Consider building 

raised gardens with timber 

or garden sleepers. Besides 

adding a point of interest, 

you have the added 

benefits of a well drained 

garden that is easier to 

maintain. You may even 

consider split level gardens 

which will add an aesthetic 

value to your piece of 

paradise.

Introducing Sunyar 

Events Organiser & Promoter 

In Sunyars early 20s, he was involved 

in a serious car accident and 

should have died on the spot. 

He says “From that night on, 

I knew that something had 

saved my life and I had no idea 

what.” Eighteen months later, 

he was introduced to Meditation, 

Metaphysics, and Spiritualism 

and since 1985 has been actively 

promoting Spirituality. In 1987 

Sunyar started a publishing, and 

national distribution company, 

importing new age products (books, 

audios and tarot) into New Zealand and 

met many lovely people and authors over 

the years, like Louise L Hay, Solara, and Depak Chopra as well as 

promoting a ‘one night only’ with Doreen Virtue at the Auckland 

Town Hall in 2002. 

Since 1997 he has been teaching weekly Meditation classes/courses, 

creating a peaceful change in people’s lives. 

His biggest hobby has been flying. After gaining his Private Pilots 

Licence in 1985 and Commercial Pilots Licence in 1998, he went 

on to achieve an Instructors Rating – and now teaches people to 

fly aeroplanes. He says “When I don’t have my head in the clouds, 

my feet are firmly on the ground, in the business world, and I’m 

now promoting and growing Body Mind Spirit – Health Expo in 

Christchurch.”

Pauaraisa on Kiwi Ferns debut 

When the Kiwi Ferns take on the Jillaroos at Mt Smart Stadium on Saturday, 

they will have a lone Canterbury presence in Sui Pauaraisa. Sports reporter 

Gordon Findlater talks to the second-rower about balancing life and sport 

SUI PAUARAISA could be the 

definition of a real life wonder 

woman. She represents two 

nations in two different codes, 

on top of that she fits in a fulltime 

job while also being a 

mother of two. 

On Saturday, the 31-year-old 

is set to make her debut for the 

Kiwi Ferns when they play the 

Jillaroos at Mt Smart Stadium in 

Auckland after being named as 

an interchange in coach Kelvin 

Wright’s team. 

Pauaraisa has represented her 

country of birth Samoa in rugby 

sevens and is also a member of 

the Canterbury’s Farah Palmer 

Cup side. In fact she thought she 

would be in contention for the 

Canterbury team that defeated 

Auckland at the weekend 

before receiving a phone call 

from Wright two weeks ago. 

“I think I cried when the 

coach called me . . . it made 

my day,” said Pauaraisa. 

The second rower’s selection 

for the Kiwi Ferns 

comes on the back of 

playing for the Warriors 

in the inaugural WNRL 

season. 

During the campaign 

– which saw 

the team win one of 

their three roundrobin 

games – 

Pauaraisa was based 

in Auckland and 

leading into the season 

travelled north 

two times a week 

for training, which 

involved starting her 

job as an administrator 

at 

Christchurch Hospital at 6am to 

finish in time for an afternoon 

flight. She would arrive in Auckland 

and go straight to training 

before flying home to Christchurch 

at 6am the next day to get 

to work. 

After moving to Auckland 

from Samoa at 13, she played 

rugby though school before putting 

the sport on hold when she 

became a mum. 

In 2010, she moved to 

Christchurch and began playing 

rugby for Belfast. 

“I only went back to playing 

because I knew I was getting 

quite big and just wanted something 

to 

do 

to lose some weight . . . it was just 

for fun and then it got serious.” 

While playing union for Suburbs 

four years ago, Pauaraisa’s 

teammates introduced her to 

league for the first time with the 

Halswell Hornets. She’s since 

played for the Papanui Tigers 

before switching to the Linwood 

Keas last year. 

“Once I got introduced to 

league I’ve absolutely loved it.” 

During winter, Pauaraisa plays 

union for Christchurch and 

league for the Keas. On Tuesday 

and Thursday, she trains with 

Christchurch. On Wednesday 

and Friday, she trains with the 

Keas. Saturday is game day for 

Christchurch, while on Sunday 

she runs out for the Keas leaving 

Monday as her one day off sport. 

This year she helped both 

clubs to win their respective 

premier women’s titles. 

Since returning from 

the Warriors WNRL 

campaign, Pauaraisa has 

been training with the 

Canterbury women’s 

rugby union team. 

The increased professionalism 

in the 

women’s 15s game 

is something that 

is also benefitting 

her bid to take 

her league game 

to another level. 

“I think it’s 

because of the 

culture and 

how intense our 

trainings are, so 

it is a massive 

advantage for 

me. Even 

the 

skills we have you can bring into 

league.” 

The dedication to being in 

shape for Saturday’s Kiwi Ferns 

test goes beyond even training 

four times a week. Most days she 

goes for a run around Hagley 

Park during her lunch break at 

work. 

Family is also a big part of her 

life. While her recent accomplishments 

with the Warriors 

WNRL side and now the Kiwi 

Ferns means time away from her 

two daughters Pine and Paia, she 

believes what she is doing is important 

for the values she hopes 

to pass on. 

“We all want our kids to be 

successful in life so we’ve got to 

things like this because they’re 

watching. They watch every step, 

I know my girls watch every little 

thing.” 

“My oldest one [Pine] plays 

netball, she says she’s going to 

be a Silver Fern and the little 

one [Paia] plays league with the 

boys at Linwood . . . it’s a good 

pathway for her.” 

Being able to do what she does 

wouldn’t be possible without 

her husband Jerry, who has even

been helping with her individual 

training sessions ahead of Saturday’s 

test. 

“Thank god for him. He cooks 

dinner for us and does the 

washing and is there to pick me 

up from the airport when I was 

travelling to Auckland.” 

Pauaraisa was brought to 

tears when she was able to play 

in front of her family during 

the Warriors 10-32 loss to the 

Broncos last month. She was 

surprised by the team’s sponsor 

Flight Centre in the week leading 

up to the game when she 

was informed it was flying her 

daughters and husband to their 

match in Melbourne. 

Although it is New Zealand 

she will be representing on Saturday, 

she won’t deny that Samoa 

has a special place in her heart. 

“My heart is always with 

Samoa . . . I want to inspire the 

girls there because they do have 

so much talent in Samoa, but the 

support is not really there for the 

girls.” 

Pauaraisa is hopeful of making 

her debut for Samoa’s 15-a-side 

team at the Oceania women’s 

rugby tournament in Fiji next 

month. 

Saturday’s test against Australia 

is part of a triple-header at Mt 

Smart Stadium. The Junior Kiwis 

play the Junior Kangaroos at 

3pm, followed by the Kiwi Ferns 

v Jillaroos at 5pm, and Kiwis v 

Kangaroos at 7.45pm.

Big medal haul for Canty swimmers 

Hurley sets 

record in the 

1500m freestyle 

• By Jacob Page 

JASI SWIM Club’s Quinton 

Hurley was the best of 

Canterbury’s swimmers at 

the national short course 

championships in Auckland. 

The 17-year-old won a bounty 

of medals but it was his gold in 

the 1500m open freestyle that 

was the most impressive. He 

broke a Swimming Canterbury 

West Coast record time of 15min 

20.19sec. 

It was also a FINA B qualifying 

time, earning him a spot on the 

New Zealand team heading to 

the FINA world championship at 

Hangzhou, China, in December. 

It will be his third international 

event this year. 

Quinton also made his mark 

in the 400m freestyle, taking 

out the gold medal. He followed 

this up with bronze in the men’s 

open final. He also managed two 

age-group silvers in the 200m 

and 800m freestyle. 

Canterbury was represented 

by 86 swimmers from 13 clubs 

at the event, which finished on 

Saturday. 

QE II Swim Club teammates 

Tom Dreaver, 16, and Kaylee 

Jackson, 17, also brought their “A 

game” to the event. 

Tom claimed gold in the 50m, 

100m and 200m breaststroke, as 

well as gold in the 100m freestyle

and silver in the 50m and 100m 

butterfly and the 200m 

individual medley. 

Kaylee began her week with 

a bronze medal in the 100m 

breaststroke open final. She then 

followed it up with gold in the 

50m breaststroke, which gained 

her a place in the open final 

where she won silver. Kaylee 

also took a bronze in the 100m 

individual medley 

Not to be outdone, some 

great swims from Waitaha’s Zach 

Knowles, 14, saw him win gold 

in the 50m freestyle. He also won 

gold in the 100m freestyle, then 

added to his haul with silver in 

the 50m butterfly, and bronze in 

the 50m backstroke. 

The region’s six paraswimmers 

also impressed with 

some outstanding efforts of 

their own, claiming a massive 

19 medals between them. Standout 

performer, Waitaha’s Ella 

Benn, 14, swam her way to gold 

in the 100m, 200m and 400m 

freestyle para-swims, as well 

as gold in the 50m backstroke. 

Ella also took silver in the 100m 

individual medley and 200m 

individual medley, and bronze in

Teen bowls his way to Burnside singles title 

THE BURNSIDE under-26 

singles bowls tournament has 

been won by Seamus Curtin 

three years after he debuted at 

the same event as a 15-year-old. 

The Stokes Valley bowler 

went undefeated throughout the 

three-day tournament and beat 

2016 champion Sheldon Bagrie- 

Howley of Gore 21-17 in the final 

on Sunday. 

Curtin, 18, won all seven 

of his section matches before 

prevailing 21-20 in a tight 

quarter-final against Finbar 

McGuigan. He then defeated 

Caleb Hope in a see-saw semifinal 

21-17 to set up the final with 

Bagrie-Howley who also went 

through undefeated. 

Bagrie-Howley dominated 

early on to lead 8-3 after seven 

ends. Both players produced 

a series of bowls that saw shot 

bowls and the jack move around 

with the result being that the 

ascendency at each end changed 

with each shot played. 

The 17th end proved to be 

pivotal to the final result. Bagrie- 

Howley held the shot adjacent 

to the jack, but Curtin ran at 

the head with his final bowl 

removing the shot bowl and two 

others from the head. 

When the dust cleared, the 

count was four to Curtin who 

took the lead 16-13. Not to be out 

done, Bagrie-Howley won the 

next three ends to tie the game 

16-16. 

With both players producing 

accurate draw bowls and 

effective drives and run shots, 

the crowd was enthralled until 

the 24th end. With the score now

Sunday 

and was 

presented 

with the 

trophy by 

convenor 

Kerrie Bruce

18-17, and both players 

able to reach 21 shots, Curtin 

played a great drive with the 

last bowl of the end which 

deposited the jack in the ditch, 

netting him two shots and 

denying Bagrie-Howley the three 

he was holding. 

The 25th end was the last of 

the game. Down two shots on 

the head, Curtin drew a toucher 

with his last bowl. Bagrie- 

Howley’s only chance was to 

drive but it missed and gave 

Curtin the 21-17 victory.

Canty hit gold in the ring 

at NZ amateur champs 

• By Jacob Page 

THE CANTERBURY boxing 

team won 10 gold medals 

at the national amateur 

championships at the Hornby 

Workingman’s Club. 

The four-day event, which 

finished on Saturday, saw Canterbury 

win team of the tournament 

for their effort in the ring. 

No victory was more spectacular 

than that of Sam Watt 

who won his fifth consecutive 

New Zealand title in the 91kgplus 

category. 

The win also earned him the 

ABA Trophy for the best super 

heavyweight at the tournament. 

Rendz Renaneses also defended 

his under-56kg national 

title, while Ryan Entese won the 

Arty Beban Memorial Trophy 

for best fly weight at the tournament 

after his victory in the 

52kg elite class 

The trio were three of five 

elite boxers to strike gold, with 

Tegan Burdett-Clark beating 

New Zealand representative and 

long-time rival Amy Andrew, 

of Manawatu, in the final of the 

57kg elite category. 

Burdett-Clark’s husband Sam

took silver in the 64kg elite 

lightweight class. 

Another impressive winner 

was Daniel Meehan. The 

Christchurch Boys’ High School 

student won a national title in 

the junior 60kg class after beating 

Navahn Gilmore of Thames. 

Trevor Swainson earned 

plenty of admirers in spite of 

coming up short against twotime 

defending Commonwealth 

Games champion David Niyika 

in the elite 91kg category. 

The Canterbury team didn’t 

just win inside the ropes either. 

Event organiser and Canterbury 

team manager Holly 

Sullivan was awarded the Brian 

O’Brian Memorial Trophy for 

services to boxing. She said it 

was a humbling way to cap-off 

a busy few weeks of preparation 

for all involved. 

“The award is something 

pretty special for everyone who 

works hard at the association,” 

she said. 

“You never look for that kind 

of recognition,” she said. “I’m 

more about getting my boxers 

prepared the best so they can 

perform well.”

GREAT FOOD 

• By Gordon Findlater 

HIGHLY-RATED halfback Eri 

Enari could make a timely return 

for Canterbury as they head into 

the business-end of the Mitre 10 

Cup. 

Enari played 50min for Canterbury 

B in their match against 

a Wellington development side 

at the weekend. He is now in 

contention to be selected for Joe 

Maddock’s Canterbury side to 

play Counties Manukau in their 

final round-robin match of the 

Mitre 10 Cup. 

“He had a good run out and 

looked really good,” said Maddock. 

More will be known about 

Enari’s return and how he has 

recovered from injury when 

Maddock names his team later 

today for the match on Saturday. 

“He’s been really unlucky with 

injuries. We know how talented 

he is and if he can get in a good 

spell and stay away from injury, 

he will accomplish a lot.” 

Shortly after signing a twoyear 

deal with the Crusaders 

last October, Enari broke his leg 

playing for Canterbury against 

Auckland. It was his second 

broken leg in the space of two 

years, after he snapped his fibula 

in 2015. 

Enari had been rumoured 

to make a return to provincial 

rugby in August. However, due 

to the nature of his double break, 

caution has been taken with the 

timing of his return. 

The news of Enari’s return will 

be music to the ears of Crusaders 

coach Scott Robertson. The 

21-year-old made his only 

appearance for the franchise 

against the Brumbies in week one 

of the Super Rugby season last 

year. 

A win in Pukekohe on 

Saturday is crucial if 

Canterbury have any 

hope of hosting a home 

semi-final.

will also need Auckland to

Tasman to go down to Hawkes 

Bay. 

Although that is out of 

Canterbury’s control, with a playoff 

spot already guaranteed next 

week, carrying momentum into

for the side. 

“Is it critical, no. Is it 

important, yes. The players that 

have been involved in playoffs 

before, they will know it’s 

important,” Maddock said. 

Canterbury are also expected 

to be boosted by the return of

Smail new 

Canterbury 

rugby boss 

THE CANTERBURY Rugby 

Football Union announced 

yesterday that Tony Smail has 

been appointed its new chief 

executive officer. 

Smail, who has been acting 

chief executive for the past three 

months, was confirmed by the 

CRFU board. 

Smail replaced Nathan 

Godfrey who resigned from the 

organisation in August. 

He joined the CRFU in 2012 

as chief financial officer and has 

been responsible for running 

the finance, ticketing and 

international high-performance 

unit teams for both the CRFU 

and Crusaders. 

He joined the CRFU following 

financial roles in the commercial 

sector. 

Smail played rugby for 40 

years, at senior level in both 

Invercargill and Christchurch, 

and more recently with Belfast 

and the president’s grade at 

Prebbleton. 

Smail moved to 

Christchurch from Southland 

in 2002 with his wife and three 

children. 

Boks bring excitement back 

IS IT bad that I’ve enjoyed 

watching the All Blacks be outplayed 

by South Africa in recent 

weeks, rather than romping our 

way through the competition 

like we have done in recent 

years? 

Sunday morning’s match 

against the Springboks had even 

me – the guy who says “nah, 

I’ll just watch a replay at an 

acceptable hour” – absolutely 

fizzing to get in front of the 

television at 4am to see the All 

Blacks look to get back at the 

Boks. 

Although looking for 70min 

like they were going to do so, the 

spectacle didn’t disappoint when 

Scott Barrett and Ardie Savea 

both pushed their way over the 

in the final 4min of the match. 

Yes, it wasn’t pretty. But there’s 

a different kind of satisfaction 

watching the All Blacks battle, 

and at times, struggle to stay 

within catching distance of their 

opposition. 

I’m not saying I don’t enjoy 

watching our boys smash the 

Boks. But when we absolutely 

rip them to shreds 57-0 like we 

did in Albany last year, it doesn’t 

exactly leave you with the 

energy and keenness required to 

wake up in the early hours to see 

the boys pack together to take 

on the Boks again. 

Sunday morning’s 32-30 

win also gave us some answers

presence of Jack Goodhue. 

Another thing I took from the 

match in Durban was how good 

it looked watching a test match 

in the sun. 

We may have snuck one 

over the South Africans on 

the scoreboard, but in terms 

of promoting top flight 

international rugby, the South 

Africans hold the trump card 

against the ‘rugby will only be 

played at 7.35pm’ NZRU. 

I’ve harped on about this 

before but we should learn 

something from the 5.05pm 

kick off in Durban. Even if you 

weren’t in a position to make it 

to the match, how good would

Hyundai’s hot i30N – 

world rally pretender 

AS AN avid motorsport 

follower, I like it when 

Kiwis show the world how 

quick we are behind the 

wheel of competition cars. 

We have many racers 

who are making a name for 

themselves on the world 

stage, one of my idols is 

World Rally Championship 

driver Hayden Paddon. 

Paddon is one of those 

genuinely nice guys and, 

of course, is super quick 

in a rally car. He drives for 

Hyundai Motorsport, and is 

a great ambassador for the 

brand, and New Zealand 

in total. 

Hyundai’s WRC 

contender is loosely based 

around its small car – the 

i20 and Paddon certainly 

knows how to make it fly. I 

simply can’t wait until the 

next round of the WRC, 

and will I be following with 

interest Paddon’s future in 

the sport. 

Given the success 

Hyundai have experienced 

in the WRC, it’s no surprise 

there is a road car spinoff. 

However, instead of 

it being i20-based the hot 

hatchback is based on the 

i30 and is labelled i30N, 

the N representing the 

development work done at 

the legendary Nurburbring 

race circuit in Germany 

and Hyundai’s research 

and development facility at 

Namyang in South Korea. 

The i30N competes 

squarely with the likes of 

Renault’s Clio RS, Ford’s 

Focus RS and Subaru’s 

WRX. However, it must be 

mentioned that some of the 

competition have fourwheel-drive, 

the i30N is a 

front-wheel-drive model 

only. 

That aside, the i30 is 

a genuine performance 

car, it has a turbocharged 

2-litre engine which 

drives through a six-speed 

manual transmission and 

electronically-controlled 

limited slip differential. 

The driveline is packaged 

for entertainment, there is 

202kW available at the top 

end with the turbocharged 

boost promoting a 353kW 

torque figure available all 

of the way from 1500rpm 

to 4700rpm, with another 

25Nm on overboost, if all 

the ducks are lined up in a 

row. 

Hyundai claims a 6.1sec 

standstill to 100km/h 

acceleration time, along 

with a 250km/h top speed. 

I’m sure these figures are 

Motoring

HYUNDAI I30N: Turbocharged hot hatchback. 

accessible, the engine is 

a real honey in terms of 

flexibility, it sings freely to 

the redline, yet has a gentle 

flow of power right through 

the rev band, there’s never a 

point of lag nor reluctance 

to deliver. Yet, you can also 

drive the i30N leisurely at 

city speeds without drama, 

it will pull from low revs, 

and if you do get caught in 

an inappropriate gear there 

is enough torque on offer 

to pull freely out of that 

situation. 

• Price – Hyundai 

i30N, $54,990 

• Dimensions – 

Length, 4335mm; 

width, 1795mm; 

height, 1447mm 

• Configuration – 

Four-cylinder, frontwheel-drive, 

1998cc, 

202kW, 353Nm, 

six-speed manual. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 6.1sec 

• Fuel usage – 

8l/100km 

However, the i30N is at 

its best on a high country 

burst. Sadly, there are too 

few manual gearbox cars in 

today’s market, so it is very 

refreshing to have a drive 

with a stick-shift. I took the 

test car on a loop through 

the fabulous Malvern Hills. 

It is a delight in tight, 

challenging corners, there 

is a lot of electronic trickery 

through the driveline, 

which means power to the 

wheels is given the best 

chance of grip. 

There is little push 

through the steering, 

understeer is moderated 

and grip through all 

corners is massive. That 

is supplied in the first 

instance by what I regard 

as the world’s best rubber – 

Pirelli PZero tyres (235/35 

x 19in) – directional 

accuracy is stunning and 

steering feel is delightful. 

Of course, the i30N 

has adaptable handling 

qualities, there are several 

drive modes and a 

customisation facility that 

allows the driver to dial 

in his or her personalised 

chassis settings. I used 

the standard sport mode 

mostly and found its ride 

and handling parameters 

satisfactory for the majority 

of road types and surfaces. 

Hyundai have developed 

what they label N-mode. In 

that setting the i30N feels 

constantly eager, the engine 

lets the driver know there 

is nothing normal under 

the bonnet. There is a very 

audible exhaust sound and 

a deliberate bark on both 

up and downshifts. It is a 

manufactured sound but 

it is truly delightful and is 

true to the spirit of the hot 

hatchback. 

At $54,990, the i30N is 

a bang-for-buck bargain, 

there is a lot of car for 

the money and its clever 

design techniques mean 

you can drive it any way 

you like at any given 

point. It is responsive but 

also practical, the i30 in 

traditional form is a car 

which has a reputation for 

quality family transport. 

This evaluation focuses 

mostly on the performance 

aspects of the i30N. I make 

no apology for that, it is a 

car which thrills with its 

feel and speed. The exhaust 

sound makes you feel like 

you are in the middle of 

that WRC special stage, it is 

infectious but it is part of a 

package that will satisfy the 

driver (and occupants) in 

all driving situations. 

It is most certainly the car 

for me if finances allowed. 

Sadly, they don’t, but I 

will still have my Hyundai 

fix for a while to come as 

I’ll not only be following 

Paddon’s career, no matter 

what direction that might 

take, but also Hyundai’s 

future in the WRC.

Home 

& Property 

Dressing your 

property up for sale 

Your house is on the market and you hope to get a good price. While 

market performance will largely influence this, presenting your home 

at its best will help. 

First impressions count from the 

moment potential buyers view a 

property from the street to the moment 

they walk through the front door. 

Weed the garden, cut back unruly 

shrubs and prune trees where needed. 

Kill off weeds in the lawn, sprinkle grass 

seed over bald patches and fertilise the 

lawn. 

Indoors, tidy up. Get rid of excess 

or bulky furniture, toys, books, hobby 

items or fitness equipment and if too 

many photos on the wall pack these 

away so the home looks roomy. 

If there is a gap or a room needs 

enhancing, look at what you have. A 

piece of furniture might be painted up 

or an old leather bound book popped 

on the coffee table. Shelves will also add 

depth to a narrow space while mirrors 

may give the illusion of a larger space. In 

entryways, add an easy chair, small table, 

bookcase or large vase. 

Awkward spaces such as coved 

ceilings in attics or upstairs rooms might 

be converted into storage shelving and 

the room given a purpose as an office, 

playroom or extra bedroom so viewers 

can see how the room might be used. 

Stow possessions neatly in containers, 

shelving or tidily in cupboards; 

highlighting the storage potential within 

the home, ensuring it is clean and tidy 

for viewing at any time. 

Move the pets outside as not all buyers 

will be pet lovers while some may suffer 

pet allergies putting them off a house if 

they see a pet inside. 

If parts of the house look tired,

consider renovating by painting walls, 

replacing worn carpet, or modernising 

the kitchen, bathroom and toilet; 

rooms that should sparkle. Replace 

tired cabinetry, or the benches and 

cupboard/drawer fronts then update old 

toilets, showers or kitchen appliances. 

Modernising these rooms can lift the 

final selling price. 

Use consistent and light paint 

colours throughout for balance and 

seamlessness, making the house appear 

more spacious. An effect that is increased 

when walls and curtains share the same 

or a similar colour. 

Consider the personality and purpose 

of a room. Bright colours lift living areas 

especially if large and open. However, 

bedrooms are suited to calmer softer 

colours with just a touch of bold. Layer 

bedding or use throws for effect along 

with cushions or a stuffed toy in a 

children’s room. 

With curtaining, smaller patterns 

or plain fabrics are the rule for smaller 

rooms whereas larger patterns make 

spacious areas cosier. If blinds or drapes 

are past their best, replace these even if it 

is only with neutral cotton curtains. The 

effect will be worth it. 

Eco-friendly features will also add 

value for some buyers though not 

universally, however earthy natural 

colours and features are popular. 

Consider who your target buyers are 

likely to be and what will appeal to them.

PUBLIC NOTICE 

Christchurch City Council is seeking feedback 

on proposed high vehicular and pedestrian 

thoroughfares and strategic routes in metropolitan 

Christchurch. These thoroughfares and routes will 

be used to prioritise the repair or demolition of 

earthquake-prone buildings. 

On 1 July 2017 changes were introduced to the 

Building Act 2004 which affect the way earthquakeprone 

buildings are identified and managed. One 

of the changes provides for public consultation, 

to assist Council to identify the most vulnerable 

buildings - earthquake-prone buildings - on routes 

with high vehicular or pedestrian traffic or of strategic 

importance. 

The Act defines these buildings as priority buildings, 

and the timeframes for identifying and strengthening 

or demolishing them are shortened. Once they have 

been notified by Council, owners of priority buildings 

have 7.5 years to strengthen or demolish them. 

This is a significantly shorter timeframe than the 

Act allows for other earthquake-prone buildings (15 

years). 

At its meeting on 27 September 2018, the 

Christchurch City Council approved in principal the 

areas identified by staff as high traffic areas and 

strategic routes. Now we’re asking our community 

about these routes and areas. 

More detailed information about this proposal can be 

found at www.ccc.govt.nz/haveyoursay or by ringing 

Lori Rankin on 941-8355. 

Submissions are open between Monday 15 October 

2018 and Thursday 15 November 2018 and the 

Council will make a decision March/April 2019.
