Scooters make their mark 

But concerns 

over speed 

and injuries 

• By Ashleigh Monk 

CONCERN IS growing over the 

popular Lime e-scooters. 

Two e-scooter related deaths 

have so far been recorded in the 

United States, and some say it’s 

only a “matter of time” before an 

incident occurs in New Zealand. 

ACC has had five Lime 

scooter-related injuries reported 

in Christchurch and nine in 

Auckland since the scooters were 

launched on October 15. 

The Lime-user agreement states 

riders must be over 18-years-old. 

But that didn’t deter Faith 

Bennett and Hannah Peart 

(right), both 17, from hopping 

on a scooter together and riding 

through the city centre yesterday. 

They said they had a few nearmisses. 

“We’ve had people say ‘be 

careful’ and ‘don’t fall off’ because 

we’re on it together going really 

fast,” Faith said. 

“We were just going down the 

road and there were three guys 

walking towards us, and I was 

trying to ring my bell, and I was 

like ‘move, you’re going to get hit’, 

but the bell isn’t loud enough,” 

Hannah said. 

Faith said the pair weren’t aware 

of the age restriction. 

“We’ve seen multiple kids 

on them and thought we were 

allowed because we had our 

driver’s licence.”

Pokie 

player 

thought 

hold up 

was a 

joke 

• By Sophie Cornish 

WHEN AN armed robber 

ordered people playing the pokies 

to lie on the floor, Jenny Hogg 

thought it was a joke. 

But when Ms Hogg saw the 

offender’s firearm was not a toy 

gun like she first 

thought, she 

realised it was 

serious. 

Ms Hogg 

was playing 

the pokies on 

Tuesday night at 

Coasters Tavern 

in Redwood 

when three 

armed robbers 

held up the bar. 

Jenny Hogg 

During the ordeal shortly before 

9pm, one patron, an elderly man, 

tried to wrestle with one of the 

robbers. It is believed he was hit in 

the forehead with the blunt end of 

a machete. 

Ms Hogg said he received a cut 

to his forehead. A woman in her 

20s also received a fat lip, she said. 

A shot was fired during the 

ordeal, which lasted between five 

and eight minutes.

He said police had spoken

Battle to beat high rate of skin cancer 

• By Anan Zaki 

MORE THAN 300 people will 

die from melanoma by the end of 

the year. 

It is the most serious form of 

skin cancer and New Zealand 

leads the world in melanoma 

rates. 

As the summer heat edges 

closer and daylight hours get 

longer, people 

are being urged 

to get their 

skin checked. 

The 

Canterbury 

Charity 

Hospital will 

Victoria 

Scott-Lang 

host free skin 

checks on 

Saturday for 

those aged 

over 50. 

In the latest Ministry of Health 

regional data, the Canterbury 

District Health Board registered 

309 new melanoma patients in 

2015. 

In the same year, 85 per cent of 

new patients in the country were 

aged over 50. 

The free testing at the charity 

hospital is organised by Skincan 

NZ, an organisation aimed at 

raising awareness for skin cancer. 

Dermatologist Victoria 

Scott-Lang is one of the doctors 

volunteering her time for the free 

checks. 

“Patients will be checked from 

the top of their heads to their 

feet. Their whole skin will be 

checked,” she said. 

“We examine them with a 

dermatoscope, a really high 

powered magnifying lens,” Dr 

Scott-Lang said. 

A 2012 Ministry of Health 

study showed that age is the 

highest risk factor for melanoma 

due to having weaker immune 

systems and thinner skin. 

Dr Scott-Lang says other risk 

factors should be considered as 

well. 

“Someone with a family history 

of melanoma should be aware 

that their own risk increases.” 

“Anyone with fair skin that 

burns easily, has wrinkling, you 

should be thinking about testing 

from age 30 onwards,” Dr Scott- 

Lang said. 

But the best way of prevention 

is sunscreen and reapplying it 

throughout the day, she said. 

Skincan NZ is also launching 

the city’s first free sunscreen 

dispenser tomorrow at Margaret 

Mahy Family Playground. 

Said Skincan NZ founder 

Leeann Marriott: “We’re 

launching three across 

Christchurch. They will also be 

at the Botanical Gardens and 

Scarborough playground.” 

“We’re hoping to spread them 

further afield but we’re just 

trialling it for six months,” Mrs 

Marriott said.

out in front of you . . . it’s only a 

matter of time before something 

happens.” 

The ride-sharing initiative was 

launched in California last year 

and has since spread to more 

than 80 cities across the globe. 

In Christchurch and Auckland, 

users can ride on footpaths, 

roads and some cycle lanes 

without a helmet, travelling up to 

30km/h. 

Christchurch launched 400 

app-controlled scooters, with 

another 300 expected to be 

deployed within a month. 

Lime paid the city 

council $136 for a three-month 

mobile trading permit for the 

scooters. 

A city council spokeswoman 

said it had received feedback but 

as this was Lime’s trial, it had 

been forwarded to the company. 

ACC senior injury prevention 

specialist Kirsten Malpas said 

safety was a concern as riders 

were not required to wear safety 

gear. 

“Wearing a helmet, limiting 

speed and keeping to road rules 

are standard mechanisms for 

keeping safe. The challenge, 

however, from a safety 

perspective with e-scooters is 

how people use them, mostly for

e-scooters have been 

deployed in Christchurch, 

with another 300 to come 

within the next month. 

short incidental trips rather than 

a planned scooter ride they’d 

have prepared for.” 

St Andrew’s College even 

banned them from their campus 

as some had been left outside the 

school. 

Police Inspector Ash Tabb said 

he had not heard of any incidents 

involving the scooters. 

“We’re just here to be an 

adviser in terms of the safety and 

use of the scooters, just to make 

sure they’re being used as safely 

as possible,” he said. 

A New Zealand Transport 

Agency spokeswoman said a 

transport review to look into 

rules for scooter-riders was being 

planned.

THe Friends of Redcliffs Park, 

the Redcliffs School board of

Mr Doudney said he could 

not yet say whether the meeting 

would result in the select

further, as no decision had yet

agree to of course. No doubt we’ll 

hear from them in due course.

Chowing down on ratepayers’ 


money 

WHAT HAS BEEN SPENT 

ON FOOD: 

• By Anan Zaki 

COMMUNITY board members 

have chomped through just 

over $49,000 of biscuits, candy 

and savouries since they were 

elected. 

That is the catering bill 

ratepayers have funded for 

community board meetings 

since the election in 2016. 

The biggest spender was 

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board. 

The nine members have eaten 

food to the value of $10,000. 

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board chairman 

Mike Mora defended the expenses. 

He said catering at meetings is 

a “necessity.” 

Community 

boards meet 

every two to 

three weeks, 

but take a 

recess from 

January to 

Mike Mora 

December. 

“I don’t 

think it’s right for people sitting 

for two or three hours with hunger 

pains,” Mr Mora said. 

Mr Mora said the food was 

also available to city council staff 

members and members of the 

public who attended meetings. 

“Personally, I think it’s for 

the wider benefit of everybody 

who attends the meeting to be 

able to have a sandwich, a savoury 

or a bit of fruit,” Mr Mora 

said. 

Board deputy chairwoman 

Helen Broughton was “shocked” 

to learn her board was the top 

spender. 

She said the 

board will 

discuss the 

food expenses 

in two weeks. 

“We’re going 

Helen 

Broughton 

to have to 

have a serious 

discussion 

– does it 

continue at all or does it continue 

at a lesser level?” Ms Broughton 

said. 

“It’s far too much to be spending,” 

she said. 

Ms Broughton also said the 

board never made it clear to 

members of the public attending 

meetings they could share in the 

food. 

Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood 

Community 

Board spent 

the least on 

catering. 

The board 

only caters 

for meetings 

Sam 

MacDonald 

which have a 

“substantial” 

agenda or if 

it is combined with other 

boards. 

Chairman Sam MacDonald 

said the board decided early into 

its current term that catering 

meetings was not a good use of 

ratepayers’ money. 

“I think the reality is that in 

any workplace, [catering is] not 

something that’s readily available 

or readily offered.” 

Mr MacDonald said the food 

that’s usually provided are biscuits 

and lollies. 

“We were just cognisant of 

the fact that in the end, we 

represent the community and 

are outcomes focused and 

we need to be mindful 

with ratepayers’ funds,” Mr 

MacDonald said. 

A variety of caterers are used 

by the community boards, and 

sometimes the food is purchased 

from supermarkets, city council 

head of community support, 

governance and partnership John 

Filsell said.

an online scam. Recipients of the 

scam are emailed by a person 

pretending to be the principal, 

asking them to purchase Apple

scratch them and provide the 

numbers via email. Senior 

Sergeant Nicola Reeves said if 

anyone receives an email contact 

the person who they believe sent 

the email over the phone or in

Campbell wants public to hear his fate 

• By Julia Evans 

AARON CAMPBELL wants his 

execution from his role on the 

community board to be held in 

public. 

But the Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community Board 

deputy chairman is unlikely to 

get his wish. 

Mr Campbell asked city council 

chief executive Karleen Edwards 

his axing from the role should be 

part of the public forum of the 

community board’s meeting on 

Monday. 

He wants the issue to be dealt 

with as transparently as possible. 

“I believe ratepayers need 

transparency and confidence on 

how decisions are made in this 

city,” he said. 

However, Dr Edwards told Mr 

Campbell that it was the decision 

to be made by the whole board 

during the meeting. 

Board chairman Sam 

MacDonald said he wouldn’t 

comment until after the meeting. 

But city councillor and board 

member Aaron Keown said it 

should be done in a public excluded 

section of the meeting. 

“It’s cleaner and clearer that 

way,” he said. 

Board member David Cartwright 

said holding the conversation 

in public-excluded was the 

advice the board had been given. 

“It allows everyone to be up 

front and have a good conversation,” 

he said. 

City councillor and board 

member Jamie Gough said it was a 

sensitive matter so staff have recommended 

a public-excluded section. 

“I have no reason to feel it 

should be otherwise,” he said. 

City councillor and board 

member Raf Manji said it was 

up to Mr MacDonald to decide. 

Board member Bridget Williams 

said she didn’t mind either way. 

“I think for me, it’s one of 

those things that has benefits for 

both. It does provide an element 

of transparency but it’s also an 

internal issue,” she said. 

Board members Shirish Paranjape 

and Linda Chen. 

Last week, The Star revealed 

the board had filed a notice of 

motion with Dr Edwards to have 

Mr Campbell removed as deputy 

chairman. 

The motion was filed after he 

Karleen 

Edwards 

Aaron 

Campbell 

spoke out about the council’s 

membership of Water New Zealand 

during a board area report 

to city councillors. 

The move to sack him comes 

as there are disagreements on 

boards around the city. 

There have been clashes 

over the Denton Park decision 

between Halswell-Hornby- 

Riccarton Community 

Board members, which 

required intervention from an 

independent facilitator. 

Dr Edwards and Mayor Lianne 

Dalziel also attended one of the 

board’s meetings to discuss the 

decision-making process and 

relationships. 

There has been friction on 

the Papanui-Innes Community 

Board, an independent facilitator 

was also used.

Reality stars in town for birthday 

• By Ashleigh Monk 

WHAT BETTER way to celebrate 

your 50th birthday than with 

your favourite reality television 

stars? 

KB’s Bakery chain owner Kim 

Buckley will fly Storage Wars 

stars Sally and Laurence Martin 

to New Zealand for his partner 

Mandy Rooney’s birthday in 

November. 

The Martin’s make their living 

buying and selling items at auction, 

and along with Storage Wars 

they have also starred in spin-off 

show Baggage Battles. 

Mr Buckley said he and Ms 

Rooney, who live Papanui, met 

the couple in 2014 at their Los 

Angeles, California antiques store 

Studio Antiques. 

“We met them after I had a 

heart attack over in America. It 

was only a wee one, but shortly 

after I’d gotten out of hospital we 

went to visit their shop,” he said. 

“I said to Mandy on the way 

to LA airport ‘why don’t we call 

in and see the Baggage Battles 

people and see if they are at there 

shop in El Segoda?’ It was right 

by the airport, so we called in . 

. . we all clicked straight away, 

Laurence thought I was his long 

lost brother.” 


Rooney were not only fans of the 

Martin’s, but also good friends. 

“Every time we go to the US we 

go and see them, we’ve got to be 

quite good mates,” he said. 

He said he and Ms Rooney 

were not antique collectors. 

“We are more into bar memorabilia. 

But we like them for 

them, and that’s likewise, and just 

love their whole attitude. They are 

lovely people. Laurence is a bit eccentric, 

and Sally is just a lovely, 

happy-go-lucky lady.” 

He said the Martin’s had never 

been to New Zealand, but were 

looking forward to visiting. 


Rooney met seven years ago 

through friends. 

“We didn’t actually like each 

other at first, but through lots of 

talking and getting to know each 

other things blossomed.” 

He said Laurence and Sally

Martin would be among 

the estimated 170 people to

celebrations. 

The Martin’s would arrive

December 10. 

Dolphins, pile driving spark questions 


THE BANKS Peninsula 

Community Board will ask the 

Lyttelton Port Company about 

its plan to manage the impact 

of pile driving on Hector’s 

dolphins. 

The board decided to question 

LPC after a presentation from 

Māui and Hector’s Dolphin 

Defenders committee member 

Genevieve Robinson last week. 

She said she wanted to see 

LPC’s cruise berth design and 

marine mammal management 

plans made publicly available. 

She had questioned LPC on 

its plans and said most of her 

questions remained unanswered. 

Community board member 

Felix Dawson says the board 

wants to assist Ms Robinson in 

getting the answers she seeks 

as other will 

be concerned 

about the 

dolphins’ 

protection. 

“We wanted 

to help get 

the answers 

she wanted 

because it’s 

Genevieve 

Robinson 

important if 

she’s correct. 

If there’s some 

doubt about 

the correct approach being taken 

. . . then we wanted to assist her.” 

The board’s questions will 

be combined with others from 

QUESTIONS: The Banks Peninsula Community Board is seeking information on LPC’s plan 

to minimise the impact of pile driving on dolphins. 

the city council. They will be 

sent this week through the 

city council’s investment arm, 

Christchurch City Holdings Ltd, 

which owns the port, said a city 

council spokeswoman. 

The spokeswoman would 

not say what the city council’s 

additional questions will be. 

Ms Robinson said she did not 

believe LPC was doing enough 

to prevent the negative effects of 

pile driving. 

“When they do pile driving, 

it makes a noise into the water. 

That is what concerns us 

regarding the dolphins’ hearing,” 

she said. 

LPC chief executive Peter 

Davie said the welfare of Hector’s 

dolphins was a priority during 

construction of the new berth. 

Marine pile driving is expected 

to start next month, while some 

land-based piling started earlier 

this year. Mr Davie said work 

needed to begin soon in the 

water to have the berth ready for 

the 2020/21 cruise season. 

Most piles will be installed 

between March and December 

next year. 

He said the size of the piles 

for the berth was smaller than 

initially planned to mitigate the 

effects of the noise on dolphins. 

“Modelling . . . shows 

underwater sound energy per 

pile will be 100 times less,” Mr 

Davie said. 

However, Ms Robinson did 

not agree, saying the modelling 

would not provide an accurate 

measure of the sound generated. 

Mr Davie said LPC had 

undertaken recent noise 

measurements, but the data was 

“still being processed.” 

Mrs Robinson said using screw 

piling would generate “barely 

any noise” if it was used instead. 

Mr Davie said screw piling 

would not be strong enough to 

“create a seismically resilient 

wharf” which could berth the 

large cruise liners. 

Otago University marine 

science department head, 

professor Stephen Dawson, 

had conducted a study of earlier 

pile-driving operations in 

Lyttelton Harbour between 2014 

and 2015.Prof Dawson’s team 

positioned instruments around 

the harbour which were attuned 

to the frequency of the Hector’s 

dolphins’ echolocation. 

He said the instruments 

recorded fewer dolphins during 

pile driving. “It definitely denies 

habitat. That is a fact.” 

He said the underwater sound 

of those piles being driven in was 

at a similar level to a gunshot. 

That could cause deafness 

and change the behaviour of the 

dolphins. Prof Dawson said pile 

driving could see a substantial 

decrease in dolphin numbers in 

the harbour, a key habitat for the 

species.

Tinder for 

volunteers 

comes to city 


A NEW app described as Tinder

in Christchruch. 

Collaborate is an app that 

matches potential volunteers 

with volunteering jobs. Users 

log-in at letscollaborate.co.nz 

then select their skills and 

interests before swiping through 

the opportunities. 

Management consultant 

Alexandra Nott and lawyer 

Camille Wrightson have brought 

the national app to Christchurch. 

“We’ve been so blown away 

by the calibre and range of the 

organisations we’ve talked to so 

far,” said Ms Nott. 

Christchurch listings 

include Tiptree Cottage Trust, 

Christchurch Youth Council,

Art work’s hefty cleaning bill 


A SCULPTURE of stairs leading 

to nowhere at the Botanic 

Gardens’ information centre lake 

could become a permanent part 

of the city’s public art collection. 

But ratepayers will have to 

keep forking out $700 a month 

to clean it. 

The work, Diminish and 

Ascend by Auckland artist 

David McCracken, was installed 

temporarily in the lake in 2016 

as part of the SCAPE Public Art 

season. 

Today city councillors are set 

to discuss recommendations to 

make the sculpture permanent. 

“Maintenance is currently 

being undertaken and paid for 

out of the city council artworks 

budget at the expense of 

maintenance of other art works. 

It is currently costing $700-$760 

per month to maintain,” a staff 

report said. 

As the stairs are in the middle 

of the lake, gaining access and 

cleaning off the duck excrement 

several times a week means the 

maintenance costs are high. 

Since it was installed, more 

than $11,000 has been spent on 

its upkeep. 

The location also protects the 

artwork from vandalism and

people climbing it, the report 

said. 

The city council is contributing 

$50,000 of the $192,000 needed 

to purchase and install the work. 

The rest of the funding has come 

from sponsorship. 

City councillors will also 

decide whether or not to extend 

the lease of another public 

art work – Spire in Latimer 

Square – until the end of next 

year. Christchurch artist Neil 

Dawson’s work has been in the 

square since 2014, when he selffunded 

the work and installed 

it himself, but his lease has run 

out. 

“Mr Dawson is looking to 

relocate the Spire to a permanent 

location and would appreciate 

if the city council would permit 

him to retain the sculpture at 

this location until the end of 

2019. He has indicated that if 

a permanent location is found 

earlier he would remove it,” the 

report said. 

The work is based on the 

Christ Church Cathedral, 

to reflect its loss during the

Plan to house growing population 

Greater Christchurch’s 

population growth 

over the next 30 years 

is being planned for. 

But how development 

is split between 

Christchurch, Selwyn 

and Waimakariri 

has changed since 

the earthquakes. 

Julia Evans reports 

THE POPULATION of 

Christchurch, Selwyn and 

Waimakariri is expected to 

increase by 150,000 over the 

next 30 years, so plans are being 

put in place to cater for growing 

housing and business demands. 

But Christchurch could get a 

smaller percentage of housing 

development than initially 

forecast. 

The updated draft Greater 

Christchurch Settlement Pattern 

will go out 

for public 

consultation 

from 

November 

1-30 after 

being 

approved by 

the greater 

Christchurch 

Rita Dionisio 

partnership 

committee. 

The update 

includes a focus on how urban 

areas accommodate growth and 

how infrastructure planning 

supports development. 

“Sixty five per cent of greater 

Christchurch’s housing growth 

through to 2048 should be 

supported in Christchurch city, 

with the remaining 20 per cent 

in Selwyn and 15 per cent in 

Waimakariri,” the report said. 

“This settlement pattern 

approach features a slightly 

lower share of growth in the city 

than envisaged by the urban 

development strategy with the 

higher share in the districts a 

CENTRAL: Greater Christchurch is expected to grow by 150,000 in the next 30 years and 

more housing is needed. 

reflection of the strong housing 

demand that has characterised 

these areas.” 

It comes after the 2007 urban 

development strategy forecasted 

71 per cent of growth would be in 

the city, while the remaining 29 

per cent would be split between 

Selwyn and Waimakariri. 

However, that was before 

the two districts flourished as 

residents moved out of the city 

after the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake. 

Canterbury University urban 

planning researcher Rita 

Dionisio said to plan for an 

environmentally-friendly future, 

Christchurch’s development 

needs to be intensified. 

“Urban intensification isn’t new 

in Europe, but I think it is new 

in Christchurch. We should start 

looking at inner suburbs like St 

Albans, Merivale and Sydenham 

that could help the city intensify,” 

she said. 

Dr Dionisio said it would 

also help develop a sense of 

community. 

“We should be going to the 

urban development strategy prior 

to the quakes, which unsettled 

a lot of things. The Government 

needed to solve housing problems 

quickly and developing those 

greenfields was an easy solution,” 

she said. 

However, the developments 

in places, such as Rolleston and 

Rangiora, need to slow down 

now. “It will perpetuate the cycle 

of independence, but also take 

away a lot of green space which 

we need.” 

The pattern settlement update 

said Canterbury is the fastest 

growing region in New Zealand 

outside Auckland. 

“More population growth is 

projected in greater Christchurch 

over the next 30 years than 

other high-growth cities such as 

Hamilton, Tauranga, Wellington 

and Queenstown.” 

It said that translates to an 

extra 86,600 houses being built 

in greater Christchurch over the 

next 30 years. 

That includes 65 per cent 

in Christchurch, 20 per cent 

in Selwyn and 15 per cent in 

Waimakariri, although the report 

said the targets would need to be 

revisited every three years. 

The report also revealed there 

are questions around whether 

there is enough development 

capacity in Selwyn and 

Waimakariri to meet the demand 

in the long term. 

“Capacity in Selwyn and 

Waimakariri may not be 

sufficient to meet demand over 

the medium term, while the 

significant capacity in the city is 

expected to be sufficient over the 

next 30 years.” 

The projected shortfalls are 

7575 developments in Selwyn 

and 9170 in Waimakariri. 

“Our plan seeks to ensure 

that sufficient housing capacity 

is provided in both Selwyn 

and Waimakariri to enable 

growth in district towns, while 

also transitioning to more 

growth being provided through 

redevelopment in the city over 

the longer term.” 

It proposed new greenfield 

housing areas should be released 

in Rolleston, Rangiora and 

Kaiapoi to help address the short 

falls. 

It comes after The Star 

revealed in March the Housing 

and Business Development 

Capacity Assessment report had 

been developed as part of the 

settlement pattern review. 

It is a collaboration between 

the city council, Selwyn and 

Waimakariri district councils, 

Environment Canterbury, 

Canterbury District Health 

Board, Regenerate Christchurch 

and the Department of the 

Prime Minister and Cabinet. 

However, the settlement pattern 

review said the update focuses 

on a “responsive” approach to 

planning. 

Said the review: “How we live 

today will be quite different to 30 

years from now, so we need to be 

responsive to these changes.” 

The number of households 

with people over 65-years-old is 

projected to grow from 24 per 

cent to 35 per cent and single 

person households are set to 

increase by 50 per cent. 

It said the type of housing 

needed will shift to smaller 

homes to cater for the ageing 

population and couples, with 

more multi-unit dwellings. 

“While standalone homes on 

large sections will continue to 

make an important contribution 

towards meeting future 

housing demand, the shifting 

demographic and household 

profile in greater Christchurch 

means a growing share of 

demand is expected to be met by 

smaller housing types.” 

That includes townhouses 

and apartments, with a lot of 

that growth concentrated in the 

city through the private rental 

market. 

“Seventy one per cent of 

housing demand in the city will 

be met by private rentals.” 

The review also said social and 

affordable housing will become 

an “increasingly critical issue” for 

the greater Christchurch market. 

But it said the post-earthquake 

market will not change over 

night. “The market and people’s 

preferences needing time to 

respond to the new opportunities 

being created by regeneration 

and place-making initiatives 

in the central city, suburban 

centres and surrounding 

local neighbourhoods in 

Christchurch.”’

Opinion 

Prices 

Fitting time to reopen chapel 

BECA Heritage Week 

has caused us to reflect 

on some significant 

anniversaries this year. 

They included 125 years 

of universal suffrage, 

the centenary of the end 

of World War 1 and the 

influenza pandemic that 

followed. 

On Saturday the 

governor-general is 

coming to the city to 

reopen New Zealand’s 

first hospital chapel, the 

Nurses’ Memorial Chapel, 

which can be found on the 

grounds of Christchurch 

Hospital. 

Given the chapel was 

erected as a memorial 

to three nurses from 

Christchurch Hospital who 

died during WW1 when 

the troopship (Marquette) 

they were on was 

torpedoed in 1915, and to 

two nurses who died in the 

1918 influenza epidemic, 

it is particularly poignant 

that it will be reopened at 

the weekend. 

As far as can be 

ascertained, this is the 

only purpose-built hospital 

chapel of its kind in the 

world commemorating, as 

it does, nurses who died in 

WW1. 

It is New Zealand’s 

only memorial chapel 

to women who died 

in any war or the 1918 

influenza epidemic, and is 

a repository of memorials 

to local, national and 

internationally-known 

medical men and women. 

The wonderful thing 

about restoring these 

HERITAGE: The 

governor-general is set 

to reopen New Zealand’s 

first hospital chapel, the 

Nurses’ Memorial Chapel, 

on Saturday. 

Mayor 

Lianne Dalziel 

heritage buildings is 

that not only do we 

preserve them for future 

generations, they’re also 

wonderful places to attract 

visitors. This will be an 

important element of our 

local heritage trail and its 

story will live on. 

It has survived against 

the odds, with proposals 

by previous hospital 

boards to demolish it 

in the 1970s and 1980s 

and, of course, the major 

earthquakes of 2010 and 

2011. 

Congratulations 

to everyone who has 

contributed to such a 

beautiful restoration.

Pavlovas to 

Aaron Campbell is likely to be axed on Monday from his role as 

a community board deputy chairman for speaking out of turn 

about the city’s water issues. He talks to Julia Evans about the 

road to local body politics and the host of jobs he’s had 

Have you always lived in Christchurch? 

I actually grew up 10km north of 

Invercargill, in a small rural town called 

Makarewa. My dad is from up north, he’s 

part Maori from the Tainui iwi, which 

makes me part Maori. My mum’s from 

Invercargill. My grandmother was actually 

the first woman at the sight of the Homer 

Tunnel in Fiordland National Park. It’s a 

fascinating story, there have been books 

written about it. My grandmother, with 

three young, young 

children basically in 

a frontier-type spirt 

in every sense of the 

word, raised my older 

aunts and uncles in 

the wild of Fiordland 

as New Zealand was 

tunnelling through 

this big piece of rock 

as we were tunnelling 

through to get to 

Milford Sound. I 

went to the ‘top 20’ 

in New Zealand for 

swimming, but I 

wasn’t a rugby player, 

which is unusual for 

down there. Then 

I went to Otago 

University for four 

years to get a nutrition 

degree. I studied a 

variety of things. 

If I could sum up a 

description of me, it 

would be a jack of all trades but a master 

of none. 

You seem to have had a number of jobs 

over the years? 

When I was 11-years-old, I had my first 

job on a poultry farm collecting eggs from 

where chickens had laid them and putting 

them on trays. My mother also worked 

there, so I was taking cash and cheques 

RECORD: Aaron Campbell 

and then Mayor Sir Bob Parker 

with the world’s biggest 

pavlova in 2010. 

with mum’s supervision from about eightyears-old. 

But I had my own IRD number 

from when I was 11, working weekends 

and school holidays, which is how I bought 

my first computer, a Commodore VIC-20. 

I spent $500 on something that has about 

four pixels. We moved to Invercargill and 

when I was at Southland Boys’ High, I 

had a job in a video game parlour, a place 

called Wizards, giving out the coins. That 

was when I was 15 or 16. After that, I had 

the odd job down in Bluff 

on the wharf just being 

a labourer. The hardest 

day’s work of my life was 

unloading a deep sea 

trawler with frozen fish. 

We were in a chain tossing 

25kg boxes to each other. 

It was -28 deg C, so as 

soon as you descended the 

ladder, your snot would 

freeze. At uni, I worked 

quite a bit when I was 

studying at the student 

union in the bar. I was a 

doorman, and the smallest 

guy there, but I could 

always talk to people. 

After I graduated, I went 

back down to Invercargill 

for a two-week holiday 

and stayed nine months. 

I got a job at the Grand 

Hotel, but quickly realised 

Invercargill wasn’t big 

enough for me. I had my 

nutrition degree but I needed to learn 

how to cook. So I went to the polytech in 

Dunedin and then came to Christchurch. 

I got a job at the Quality Hotel doing 

breakfasts in 1996-ish. I was doing my 

second year of study at Christchurch 

polytech and an English butler came 

recruiting for a hotel in the British Village 

in Japan.

CELEBRITY: Aaron Campbell cooked a meal in Japan for former United 

States Vice-President Al Gore in 2003.



Aaron Campbell 

politics and fixing Fiats 

I went over to Japan on a 

working holiday visa and that’s 

how I met my wife, Kazumi, she 

was in the Tokyo sales office. 

How long were you in Japan? 

I spent a year in Japan. After 

working in the village, I spent 

a month in Kyoto, living in the 

middle of summer in an un-airconditioned 

flat and renting a 

bicycle. Then I travelled down 

to Hiroshima, which is such an 

emotional place. I kept on going 

down western Japan on the local 

trains, down to Nagasaki. I went 

back to Tokyo for the last three 

months, teaching conversational 

English with no qualification. 

I also had a part-time job at an 

after-school programme with 

kindergarten age kids. Then 

I spent two years in London 

on a working visa again. I was 

temping as a chef. You might 

spend a day, five days or three 

months in a place. It was all about 

getting yourself up to speed and 

surviving. My girlfriend, now 

wife, came with me. She was 

working at a receptionist at a 

swanky hotel in Knightsbridge. 

Six months before we left, we 

took two weeks holiday and did 

a car trip around the United 

Kingdom. We went to the spot 

where the Campbells famously 

massacred the MacDonalds at 

Glencoe, Scotland. On the way 

back to New Zealand, we stopped 

in Japan and stayed for five years. 

The thing that always nagged me 

as a chef, I had that idea of ‘am 

I good enough for those fancy 

hotels’. I had an interview and got 

a job at the Westin Hotel, a fivestar 

hotel in Tokyo. First year was 

in the banqueting area, cooking 

and preparing food for 27 

weddings over a weekend. There 

was a year in the preparation 

kitchen for the buffet. The final 

year I spent as a teppanyaki chef 

at a Michelin star level, which 

is pretty cool for a foreigner. I 

did a fine-dining restaurant as 

well, cooked for former United 

States Vice-President Al Gore. 

I was the unofficial assistant to 

the executive chef. He was as 

good as Gordon Ramsay, but 

didn’t have that media profile. At 

the end of one night, he said to 

me ‘I thought all the best chefs 

came from Europe, but tonight I 

realise that’s not the case’. I was 

reading about business when I 

was in Japan, I was looking to 

buy a business back here in New 

Zealand. There was a bed and 

breakfast on Bealey Ave that we 

looked to buy, we looked to buy a 

catering business in a homestead. 

When did you come back to 

New Zealand? 

We came back to Christchurch 

in 2006. I did a few temp jobs in 

rest homes, then I got a job at a 

restaurant for a short period of 

time. One lunch-time, I saw an 

ad in the paper for a caterer at the 

PASSION: Aaron Campbell’s 1969 Fiat bambina is one of his hobbies outside of being on the Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community Board. 

Workingmen’s Club in Kaiapoi. 

We put a business case together 

and basically got the spot. We 

took over at the end of January 

2007, which was a mad scramble. 

After another two years I was 

waiting for yet a bigger challenge. 

That challenge being a very 

big pavlova? 

Yes, so I came up with the 

idea of doing the world’s largest 

pavlova. It was a problem-solving 

task. How do you get a 50m 2 

pavlova into the Christ Church 

Cathedral with the Bledisloe 

Cup in the middle? It took a 

lot of planning and help and 

support. But it was great. Every 

dollar that was donated went 

to the Children’s Cancer Trust. 

The pavlova was part of a trilogy. 

I made a 15kg replica of the 

Cathedral out of gingerbread and 

the follow up to that was making 

rose window out of rice bubbles 

and icing sugar. 

So how did these jobs lead to 

local body politics? 

We did six years in Kaiapoi and 

I got interested in photography 

again. In 2012, I bought a digital 

camera and got really involved 

in making good photos. I did 

look again to polytech to do 

a photography course, but it 

didn’t suit my learning style. We 

worked hard enough so I gave 

myself six months to work out a 

business model for photography. 

In three years, I was busier 

than I’d ever imagined, but I 

started losing my passion for 

photography, so I had to pull 

back. I needed something else, 

which is where Lianne Dalziel 

came along. I took Deon Swiggs’ 

campaign photo and he asked 

Lianne’s opinion of it and 

that’s how we started chatting. 

Having never been in a political 

campaign, looking back on 

helping someone who had 23 

years of experience and who was 

going up for mayor, I was cheeky. 

I wanted to give it my best shot 

and help her, then being able to 

do that was great. I lost 10kg over 

that period, there was a lot of 

work. I was delivering flyers over 

the Harewood Ward for myself 

just to get eyes on the street and 

see how people were living. I just 

wanted to get a detailed look at 

the community. I finished the 

campaign and Garry Moore, 

who was chairman of Lianne’s 

campaign, said what are you 

doing now? He invited me to 

meet Duncan Webb and manage 

his campaign. 

So you went from managing 

Lianne Dalziel’s campaign 

to Christchurch Central MP 

Duncan Webb’s? 

I said I was happy to meet him, 

but I wanted to make sure we got 

along. I was really impressed, 

genuinely after I met him. We 

got along great and I could see 

that he was a good person. It 

was a privilege to go into the 

co-management role of that 

campaign. My role was around 

the mechanics of the campaign, 

scheduling stuff and looking at it 

from a social media perspective. 

It took a step back from a party 

perspective and just wanted to 

make sure people could relate to 

Duncan and what he is about. 

I think the campaign was quite 

successful, it was a hell of a result. 

How did you get onto the 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board? 

I’m an accidental part-time 

politician. It was by chance, 

two days before the close of 

nominations for the Harewood 

Ward, no one was running. I 

asked my wife and I asked Lianne 

and they said go for it. It’s as 

simple as that. It cost $200 to 

register and put out some flyers. 

What do you do on a day off? 

I kind of don’t have any in a 

way. That’s the sad part about 

me. Photography was always 

a passion and that’s now a 

business. I’d say the community 

board is my hobby but I get paid 

for it. I kind of like being busy, I 

am a workaholic. The downside 

of being a small business owner is 

you don’t have much of a chance 

to have a holiday. We often go 

back to see Kazumi’s parents in 

Japan, her dad is 92 now. The 

Fiat bambina is probably my 

hobby, I’m not a petrol head, but 

I love it. My brother’s got an old 

Holden and threw a V8 into it 

so I was thinking about getting 

something myself. I just realised 

how much personality classic cars 

have got. A 1969 Fiat bambina, an 

original, blue outside with a red 

interior with a 500cc motor has 

a lot of personality. I’m getting a 

trailer made for it out of the front 

and back of a trashed bambina, a 

wee mini trailer.

Gardening 

Tips to smarten outdoors before Xmas 

WITH THE warmer weather 

comes the ever knowing 

awareness and understanding 

that Christmas is really not that 

far away. Turn the corner and we 

are almost there. 

Wise are those who plan and 

work in advance. 

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. 

You can always let the cobwebs 

inside take care of themselves, at 

least they catch flies. 

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

Food is easy to grow Look after your mower 

FOR MANY years, Labour 

Weekend has been the traditional 

time for planting out a full 

range of summer vegetables and 

flowers. 

Hopefully, you have planned 

ahead and prepared your soil 

ready for planting. If not, then 

add in plenty of compost or 

garden mix and combine well 

with your existing soil before you 

plant out. 

There is something special 

about growing your own vegetables 

– watching them grow from 

seed/seedling to a scrumptious 

crop through your own tender 

loving care might be why they 

taste better. 

No matter how big or small the 

space available; you can successfully 

grow veges in regular garden 

beds, raised beds or in pots 

and containers. 

Tasty vegetables to plant now 

include beans, beetroot, carrots, 

celery, corn, cucumber, onions, 

peas, pumpkin, radish, potatoes, 

spinach, tomatoes and zucchini, 

not to mention the great range of 

lettuces available. 

If space really is an issue, there 

are plenty of dwarf varieties you 

can grow. For plants that need

WITH THE mowing season 

upon us, it’s time to make sure 

your lawn mower is as ready as 

you are to tackle those lawn care 

chores. 

A regular, simple maintenance 

programme to keep your mower 

performing at its best and to extend 

its useful life. Just follow this 

easy checklist: 

•Change the oil 

Oil is the engine’s lifeblood that 

removes contaminants, lubricates 

parts and dissipates heat. 

That’s why it’s important to make 

sure the crankcase contains an 

adequate supply of fresh oil. 

Before changing the oil, run the 

engine for several minutes until it 

warms up. Then, stop the engine, 

disconnect the spark plug and 

drain the oil into a pan or similar 

container. Refill the crankcase 

with high quality detergent oil 

that has a SG/CD classification 

on the label. Take the used oil to a 

local recycling center. It’s environmentally 

unfriendly-and illegalto 

dump used motor oil on the 

ground or into a storm drain. 

•Check the air filter 

Your air-cooled engine needs 

a constant supply of clean air. 

If your mower engine takes a 

disposable paper filter, simply 

replace it with a new filter. If the 

engine requires a foam-type filter, 

remove the sponge from the filter 

assembly, soak it in kerosene and 

squeeze it dry. Then apply a few 

drops of clean oil into the sponge 

and place it back in the filter assembly. 

•Use fresh fuel 

Petrol turns stale after about 60 

days and can form gum in your 

engine’s carburettor, resulting in 

expensive repairs. Eliminate the 

problem by routinely filling your 

engine’s tank with fresh fuel. If 

petrol must remain in the tank for 

a prolonged period of time, add a 

fuel stabiliser to keep it fresh and 

to ensure a clean fuel system that 

leads to easier starting. 

•Sharpen the blade 

Think about what a dull razor 

does to your face or legs when 

shaving. Similarly, a dull mower 

blade can bruise, bend and damage 

your lawn, making it susceptible 

to disease. After disconnecting 

the spark plug, examine the 

blade for wear or damage. Have it 

professionally sharpened at least 

once annually. 

•Keep things clean 

While you’re checking the 

blade, remove any dirt and 

caked-on grass under the mower. 

Squirt vegetable oil cooking 

spray underneath to reduce 

clipping build-up and to prevent 

rust.

GARDENING 

with 

ADVICE 

We’re about to 

QUESTION move into our 

new home 

which means a new garden. Yay! I love 

gardening and I’m looking forward to 

growing all sorts. Which type of 

garden is best for planting veggies/ 

herbs e.g raised or flat garden and 

how do you layer the soil (e.g mix the 

soil with a garden mix or just soil and 

then garden mix at top end?) Advice 

on best type of soil and garden mix to 

use will be much appreciated. 

Today’s winning question came from Shonam Kumar. Congratulations! 

Establishing a new veggie garden is always an exciting prospect! For ease of access 

ANSWER when planting, caring and harvesting, a raised vegetable garden is ideal. Raise the soil 

level by using railway sleepers or bricks etc to about 300mm high and fill with Daltons 

Garden Time Compost and existing soil (mixed well). 

If you decide to go with something bigger like a planter box, you will need to fill it with a mixture of Daltons 

Garden Time Vegetable Mix or Daltons Garden Time Planting Mix, and Daltons Garden Time Compost. 

The site of your garden is critical - it needs full sun during the growing season, shelter from cold, strong 

southerlies and to be in a well-drained part of the garden. 

Apply side dressings of Daltons Garden Time Vegetable Fertiliser throughout the growing period and add a 

layer of mulch during the hot, dry summer months to improve water retention. 

At the end of the season plant the area with a green manure crop e.g. mustard, which can be dug in late winter 

to improve the organic content of your soil. You can also purchase Daltons Premium Garden Mix in bulk from 

your local Bunnings store. 

For more gardening advice and tips, check out our Growing How to Summer Vegetables guide at 

www.daltons.co.nz/how-to-guides 

You can never go wrong growing your own juicy tomatoes. Whether

Bringing the Mongolian 

Steppes to the CBD 

When families and groups are wondering 

where to go for meal out, they generally don’t 

think of Mongolia, but at 478 Cranford Street, 

Redwood, the taste of the Steppes is right on 

our, well door-step. Gengy’s is a BBQ buffet 

with a huge range of options that provides 

terrific value for money. Named after Genghis 

Khan, the founder of the Mongol empire, 

Gengy’s is inspired by the ancient tradition 

of celebrating victory with a huge feast 

cooked BBQ-style. Today, they offer a unique 

experience as one of Christchurch’s newest, 

most interactive restaurants. Customers begin 

by choosing between various breads and 

soups to start but the fun starts when they let 

their culinary imagination run riot as they put 

together their own main course. 

Selecting from various marinated meats, 

plus seafoods and vegetables, diners add oils, 

sauces and spices – go as hot as you like or as 

wide-ranging as you fancy. Their chef then 

cooks everything fresh and in front of you, 

leaving you to add rice or noodles. Best of all, 

you can go back as often as you like to try as 

many combinations as your palate desires. 

With plenty of salads on their buffet, you can 

be as healthy as you like, or you can hit the 

self-scoop ice-cream and finish off your meal 

with a sweet treat. 

Costing only $33.95 for the all-you-can-eat 

buffet with reductions for children, seniors 

and tertiary students, Gengy’s is the place to 

go to celebrate any victory; and at only $1 on 

your birthday, then it is definitely the place to 

go to celebrate your special day.

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS 


Taha Auto – cash for cars, spare 

parts and great service too 

Located in Sockburn, Taha Auto in 

Christchurch is part of the Taha Auto group 

which was established 12 years ago and has 

branches in Wellington and Auckland as 

well as a sister company in Sydney. 

Split into divisions to met the needs of 

both trade and individual customers, Taha 

Auto will both pay cash-for-cars and supply 

a huge variety of parts. 

The Cash-for-Cars division has four 

trucks on the road six days a week collecting 

vehicles from right across the Canterbury 

region. Wherever you are, if your car, truck 

or ute is no longer driveable, the Taha 

Auto team can not only collect it free of 

charge, but give you a great scrap price, too. 

Whether your vehicle has simply failed its 

warrant or has been involved in a crash, 

they will take it off your hands. 

Working alongside the Cash for Cars 

division, the Scrap division then takes the 

vehicle apart, separating them into those 

stripped and sold for scrap, those that are 

dismantled for export and those selected to 

keep for their local parts sales market. 

Running alongside the other divisions, 

the Auto Parts sales division has four staff 

with over 60 years combined experience. 

There is a huge range of spares for most 

makes and models of cars, utes and vans, 

specialising in Suzuki Swifts, Nissan Tiida, 

we buy 

trucKs, 

cars & 4wd’s 

Nissan Murano, Misty Outlander and 

Triton. As well as recycling used parts, they 

also import new after-market parts from 

Asia, with containers scheduled to arrive 

soon, and they import used parts from 

their overseas supplier on a regular basis. In 

fact, they send parts all over New Zealand 

for the public and automotive trade sectors 

daily. 

They have a huge range of car lights from 

$40, and if you need a used tyre or battery,

To advertise in Best Motorbuys, phone Lea Godfrey 021 277 3086 

I WAS TALKING recently 

to one of Canterbury’s 

motorsport legends – 

Trevor Crowe. 

While Crowe’s career 

behind the wheel needs 

little explanation, it is not 

widely remembered that 

Trevor Crowe Motors was 

once the local outlet for 

Skoda. What’s more, Crowe 

built a V8-powered version 

of the Skoda 120L which he 

rallied with some success. 

If that wasn’t enough, 

there was also a Crowesport 

programme fitting an 

after-market turbocharger 

on the rear-engined 120L. 

That was around 1988, and 

I still relate to the fun I had 

in that car. 

As time has served to 

prove Trevor Crowe Motors 

has long since seen Subaru 

as the brand which fits the 

company’s image, Skoda is 

now sold through the Miles 

group. 

It hasn’t been all plain 

sailing for Skoda in New 

Zealand, it’s been a hard 

sell here, but that has all 

changed now. Skoda is 

a brand with a wealth of 

models and variants, and 

all of it is high quality, 

realistically priced and built 

to capture buyers who are 

looking for practicality and 

functionality in their new 

car purchase. 

One of the latest Skoda 

models to come my way 

was a newcomer to the 

range – the Karoq. 

The Karoq is a quasisport 

utility vehicle, 

which I liken more to 

the traditional estate/ 

station wagons which still 

command a huge market 

share in Europe. The Karoq 

seems a lot less bulky than 

the mainstream SUV, at 

1.6m it is lower than most, 

and with its mid-size 

proportions you could 

almost get sucked into 

thinking it is a liftback/ 

wagon concept. 

All that aside, the Karoq 

is classy. Built in the Czech 

Republic by the giant 

Volkswagen conglomerate, 

the Karoq lands here 

in three variations. There 

are 1.5-litre petrol and 

2-litre diesel options (both 

turbocharged); the range 

starts at $38,990 and ends 

at $48,490 for the rangetopping 

Style diesel, as 

tested. 

In this form, drive is 

channelled to all four 

wheels, the other two variants 

are front-drive only. 

That being the case, the 

SKODA KAROQ: Crossover vehicle in two or fourwheel-drive. 

Karoq Style could easily be 

deemed a suitable dirt road 

challenger. In traditional 

Vokswagen group fashion, 

the gearbox is a direct shift 

automatic with seven ratios, 

with paddles at the steering 

wheel if the driver wishes to 

take manual control of that 

process. 

• Price – Skoda Karoq, 

$48,490 

• Dimensions – 

Length, 4382mm; 

width, 1841mm; 

height, 1603mm 

• Configuration – 

Four-cylinder, fourwheel-drive, 

1968cc, 

110kW, 340Nm, 

seven-speed DSG. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 9.3sec 

• Fuel usage – 

5.2l/100km 

During my time with the 

test car, I used it in normal 

drive mode, but bear 

in mind there are several 

selectable protocols to suit 

any road surface or driving 

style. The mechanicals 

are most definitely built 

for the inevitable off-road 

excursion, and I can see the 

Karoq as the perfect vehicle 

to tackle the ski-field access 

road, and there are plenty 

of accessories for the car 

which would make that 

journey easy. 

Under the bonnet lies 

the four-cylinder engine. 

It is much the European 

standard with strong midrange 

torque (340Nm from 

1750rpm to 3000rpm), and 

a low point of peak power 

(100kW at 3500rpm). 

Together, these figures 

combine to produce strong 

acceleration and high top 

end speed. Skoda claims a 

9.3sec standstill to 100km/h 

time and a flat out speed of 

196km/h. 

Figures aside, it is in the 

day-to-day commute that 

you really appreciate the 

quality of this engine, it gets 

about its business strongly, 

yet is unflustered and quiet. 

It responds with vibrancy 

and is instant in its delivery, 

a lot of that is to do with 

the quick shifting gearbox 

and perfect matching 

between the engine and 

transmission ratios. 

The Karoq is also a 

solid highway cruiser, it is 

whisper quiet at speed, and 

provides all occupants with 

a comfortable ride. 

The suspension is a fully 

independent front-strut/ 

rear multiple link system 

which has spring and 

damper rates only moderately 

firmed. 

While the Karoq can be 

seen as a purposeful allrounder, 

one of its greatest 

claims to fame is that of 

its fuel consumption, or 

should I say, lack of consumption. 

That’s the beauty of the 

European diesel; with 

a wealth of experience 

and high fuel costs in the 

Northern Hemisphere, the 

engines which come out 

of the VW group’s factories 

are high on efficiency 

and low on emissions. 

Skoda claim a 5.2-litre per 

100km (54mpg) combined 

cycle average for the 2-litre 

diesel. 

The fuel usage readout 

reinforced that during my 

time in the test car. It was 

constantly showing around 

6.9l/100km (41mpg) with 

an instantaneous figure 

of 4.2l/100km (68mpg) at 

the legal limit, the engine 

turning over leisurely at just 

1450rpm. 

It’s time to abandon all 

of those old Skoda jokes. 

The brand has gone from 

strength to strength to the 

point today where it must 

be considered an equal to 

any other European car. 

I particularly like the 

product, and I particularly 

like the Karoq. It has 

definite appeal, if I had a 

young family and wanted 

something just that little 

bit different to mainstream 

SUVS, then it would suit.

On Saturday November 3rd, the Horncastle Arena will be transformed into a glamorous & glittering fight 

night with red carpet entry and exceptional entertainment for this years OneStaff Fight For Christchurch. This 

annual event is the biggest charity boxing event in Australasia, aiming to raise more than $200,000 which 

goes directly towards supporting the programs and people who need it most. 

Over the last 10 weeks, Jason Lovelock a project manager from Mike Greer Homes, has given his all to train for 

the biggest fight of his life. He is an ordinary person, who is stepping up to do something extraordinary. One 

step at a time, one punch at a time, one round at a time, he has shed sweat, tears and even a little blood to 

prepare himself for his bout against fellow project manager Benji Oppan from Waghorn Builders. 

When Jason steps into the ring however, it will not be for personal glory – he is raising funds for his chosen 

charity Conductive Education Canterbury. Over the past 8 years, this event has raised hundreds of thousands 

of dollars for Christchurch based charities. If you wish to donate to this cause, please visit Jason’s givealittle

Australian wonder horse Winx 

in Australasia’s premier weightfor-age 

race at Moonee Valley. 

A ride of this magnitude is 

something Johnson himself 

thought would have been off the 

cards just a few years ago. The 

likeable jockey’s career has had 

as many lows as highs, which led 

to him to give up riding between 

1999 and 2006. 

“A couple of years ago, you 

wouldn’t have thought I’d be on 

a good enough horse to compete 

in the Cox Plate,” said Johnson. 

Last year Johnson claimed a 

second New Zealand jockeys’ 

premiership, more than 20 years 

after his first in 1995/96. 

“I just . . . worked a bit harder 

at it. I did a lot more travelling 

to win the premiership. I’m still 

enjoying my riding. Age is only 

a number and the better horses 

make your job easier.” 

“I think I’ve got a bit older and 

settled down from my younger 

days,” he said. 

“I guess you could say I behave 

a bit more responsibly.” 

When Johnson guided Savvy 

Coup to victory in the 2040m 

Livamol Classic at Hastings 

earlier this month, he became 

the early favourite to ride her at 

the Cox Plate. He then received 

confirmation from the Pitman

redeveloped -

family last week. 

“I appreciate all the support 

I’ve had from owners and 

trainers through good and bad. 

Luckily, they’ve kept supporting 

me which has kept me riding.” 

Johnson has rode in the 

Melbourne Cup three times, 

including a third place finish 

on Mercator in 1993, which he 

considers a career highlight, 

along with his victory aboard 

Sea Swift in the 1988 Auckland 

Cup. However, an upset against 

Winx in Saturday’s Cox Plate 

could easily eclipse those 

moments. 

It could also provide Johnson 

his biggest payday yet with 

prize-money in this year’s race 

increasing to A$5 million from 

A$3 million last year. 

Savvy Coup – which is at $31 

to win – has drawn barrier five 

for the eight horse race, inside 

Winx in barrier six which is the 

heavy favourite at $1.20 in her 

great bevvies 

bid to win a 29th consecutive 

victory, and four consecutive 

Cox Plates. “She’ll have to be at 

her best but she tries hard every 

time so she will be competitive.” 

Michael and Matthew Pitman 

are set to fly to Melbourne 

tomorrow morning ahead of the 

race. Michael is still currently in 

hospital following an operation 

for bowl cancer. However, he 

was due to be discharged today 

and was confident of being 

healthy enough to make the trip.

BIG DANCE: Josh McKay makes a break during 

Canterbury’s loss to Auckland last month. 

Fourth straight 

title on the cards 


CONTINUING THE dynasty 

will be the objective when 

Canterbury travels to Auckland 

in an attempt to claim their 

fourth straight provincial title 

on Saturday. 

Canterbury were defeated by 

Auckland 29-34 last month in 

week five of the competition 

at Christchurch Stadium. The 

match was best remembered 

for Canterbury conceding three 

tries on the back of intercepts 

from Auckland. 

“You obviously still feel the 

hurt when you don’t quite perform 

as well as you could have,” 

said Canterbury assistant coach 

Nathan Mauger. 

“We’ve grown a lot over the 

course of the season and I think 

we’re in a lot better space now 

than we were back then.” 

If Canterbury can win another 

title, it will be their 10th in 11 

years. Mauger admitted the run 

into Saturday’s final at Eden 

Park has come with a touch of 

nostalgia for the coaching team. 

They’re all former Canterbury 

players themselves and know the 

feelings that come with a game 

of this magnitude. 

“You naturally think 

back to when you 

were involved

more special. It’s an exciting 

week, we’ve worked hard to put 

ourselves in this position.” 

The squad named for the final 

will have a new look from the 

team that defeated Tasman 12 

months ago, featuring the likes 

of Rob Thompson and Tim 

Bateman. 

“The guys that have come 

in have been highly-coachable 

individuals and I think because 

of that they’ve adjusted really 

quickly to the style of rugby 

we like to play in Canterbury. 

I think the fact we’ve qualified 

for yet another final is a result of 

that,” said Mauger. 

Outside back Josh McKay, 

who will look to feature in his 

second straight final, is hopeful 

of adding another title to the 

Canterbury tally. 

“It’s hard to not recognise 

but it’s going to be a new group 

every year trying to achieve 

new things and add to the 

Canterbury dynasty,” said 

McKay.

Canty veteran aims for 100 wins 

Canterbury United can 

rack up their 100th 

national league regular 

season win on Sunday 

when they play Hawke’s 

Bay United. If they achieve 

the milestone their will 

be one player still in the 

squad from their first 

league victory 14 years 

ago. Gordon Findlater 

reports 

DAN TERRIS has been part 

of every Canterbury United 

campaign since the national 

league was reformed in 2004. 

He was part of the team’s first 

victory in a squad that featured 

the likes of All Whites Ben 

Sigmund and Jeremy Brockie. 

After moving to Nelson 14 

year ago to spend six months 

visiting his uncle, playing some 

football for Nelson Suburbs and 

travelling the country, there 

was no reason to suggest the 

now 37-year-old would go on to 

play more than 160 games for 

Canterbury – more than any 

other player – including many as 

captain. 

After helping Nelson Suburbs 

to the Mainland Premier League 

title in 2004, Terris was asked to 

come to Christchurch for Canterbury’s 

national league season. 

“I only expected to be here 

for six months to have a look 

around,” said Terris. 

“I was asked to come down to 

Canterbury and I thought it was 

a good opportunity. It was more 

just enjoy the season and see 

what happens, but I’ve been here 

ever since.” 

“I moved in with Ben Sigmund 

at the time for a couple of 

months before I got myself on 

my feet.” 

Terris grew up in London and 

as a teenager was part of West 

Ham United’s youth set up for 

STALWART: Dan Terris helped Canterbury United to their 

first league win in 2004 and will look to bring up 100 wins 

with the club on Sunday.

four years at the same time as 

the likes of John Terry, Joe Cole, 

Paul Konchesky and Bobby 

Zamora. 

He then joined Southend 

United in Essex where he was 

coached by Peter Taylor, who 

also managed England for a 

short period in 2000. However, 

Terris ran into cartilage issues 

with his knees, which caused 

him to miss two years of football. 

“I had so long out of the 

game, I didn’t really think I 

could make it anymore.” 

After studying marketing at 

university, Terris returned to 

play non-league football in England 

before he moved to New 

Zealand. 

There have been a number 

of highlights for Canterbury 

United and Terris over the 

years, including two grand-final 

appearances in 2006 and 2010. 

Canterbury’s second season in 

the league is one of many fond 

memories for Terris. 

“We ended up making the 

final that year, where we lost 

to Auckland City on penalties. 

There was a couple of games in 

that season that really put us on 

the map. We went to Auckland 

and beat Auckland City 3-2, and 

they were the dominating team 

in the competition. We sort of 

opened the eyes to a lot of teams 

in the league at that stage to 

suggest we were someone to be 

reckoned with.” 

From being one of the first 

names on the team sheet, to 

having an important squad 

role in recent years, Terris has 

remained competitive right 

through his mid and late-30s. 

“I’m still enthusiastic about 

the game and love playing it 

enough to make me want to go 

through the pain barrier a little 

bit. It would be good to win 

something with Canterbury.” 

“I just enjoy being part of 

the team and representing the 

region.” 

Canterbury are currently on 

their best unbeaten run in the 

league with eight consecutive 

victories. They began this 

season’s campaign with a 1-0 

win over Southern United at 

the weekend courtesy of a 36thminute 

goal from wing-back 

Sean Liddicoat.

Clapham signs 

with Team 

Wellington 

CANTERBURY United’s alltime 

leading goal-scorer Aaron 

Clapham has joined Team 

Wellington for the national 

football league season. 

Clapham, who has scored a 

record 61 goals for Canterbury, 

was announced as a new signing 

for Team Wellington yesterday. 

Last year Clapham withdrew 

from the Canterbury squad, citing 

personal reasons. In 2016-2017, he 

was the second equal leading goalscorer 

in the national league with 

12 strikes. The former All White 

is part of a rare group to play 100 

games for Canterbury. 

Dunn to 

miss NZ 

Trotting Cup 


THE COUNTRY’S premier 

harness driver, Dexter Dunn, 

is set to miss the New Zealand 

Trotting Cup next month, instead 

opting to compete in the United 

States’ Breeders Crown at the 

weekend. 

The Star has learnt that Dunn 

will not be returning to New 

Zealand as early as previously 

planned, but will instead continue 

his racing in the US. 

The Breeders Crown will have 

12 championship races over one 

night and US$6.4 million in 

purses. Since making the move 

to the US in August, Dunn has 

driven 34 winners from 198 starts 

with a UDRS of .296 racing in 

Philadelphia. 

Dunn led the drivers’ 

premiership in wins from 2008 

to 2017. He already ranks fifth in 

New Zealand history with 2225 

wins. 

Will the The Rock enter the ring for Pacific rugby? 

IT SEEMS the conversation has 

arisen again. Yes, we’re talking 

about the possible expansion of 

a Super Rugby franchise into the 

Pacific Islands. 

The conversation isn’t a new 

one. It’s been going on for well 

over a decade, but is there hope it 

can amount to something more 

than a pipe dream this time 

round? 

The latest push for a team in 

the Pacific Islands is being led 

by Auckland-based business 

consultant Simon Anderson. 

He has kicked off a social media 

campaign aimed at getting 

thousands of rugby fans to tag 

WWE and movie superstar 

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson on 

social media to get him to look 

at a proposal video which argues 

the case for a team. 

Could the favourite wrestler 

from my childhood really be the 

man to save Super Rugby from 

reaching rock bottom? 

Since Super Rugby last stood 

as a legitimate competition 

contested between 12 teams, 

we’ve seen its expansion into 

Melbourne – a city where the 

NRL’s greatest franchise in the 

past two decades struggles to 

see the light of day in a market 

dominated by the AFL. 

One-eyed Cantab 

Gordon Findlater 

gordon.findlater@starmedia.kiwi 

A team in Perth has come 

and gone and, in more recent 

times, it’s even expanded into 

Japan with the Sunwolves and 

Argentina with the Jaguares. 

When all of these expansions 

were made, we were fed the 

same message about how it 

would raise the profile of the 

game internationally. However, 

all we’ve seen since is a dilution 

of quality in the competition 

outside New Zealand and a lopsided 

balance of power through 

the conference system, which 

rewards mediocrity for weaker 

South African and Australian 

teams. 

Surely a Pacific Island team 

would be a marketing dream 

for Super Rugby? 

The Tonga effect on 

international rugby 

league is all you need to 

see to realise a Pacific 

Island team in Super 

Rugby would mean 

record crowds for 

regular season home 

games for all of the 

current New Zealand 

franchises, as well as the 

Waratahs and Reds. 

However, we live in an age 

where business heads with 

only a view to a quick buck and 

Dwayne 

Johnson 

broadcasting rights rule the 

roost. A Pacific Island team 

would definitely mean more 

bums on seats but it seems 

SANZAAR has had a ‘it doesn’t 

matter’ policy to a team in the 

Pacific Islands since the 

inception of Super Rugby. 

Yes, it’s what the 

people want and would 

undoubtedly lead to 

an increased interest 

in Super Rugby here, 

let alone in the Pacific 

Islands. But with the 

decisions SANZAAR 

has made when it comes 

to expansion in the last 

decade, there’s no reason 

to believe it’ll do something to 

look after the long-term future of 

the competition.

Mitchell breaks track 

record at Waimate 50 

CHRISTCHURCH driver 

Josh Mitchell became a recordbreaker 

when he won the annual 

Waimate 50 on Sunday. 

Mitchell’s time of 1min 54.3sec 

in a Subaru WRX saw him not 

only claim the title, but break a 

track record. 

His record wasn’t the only one 

set over the weekend. A record 

14 cars hit the wall at the event, 

keeping the Waimate Volunteer 

Fire Brigade busy all day. 

Waimate 50 event director 

Rob Aikman said he was “pretty 

stoked on the weekend” as more 

than 8000 spectators came out to 

watch the only street race in New 

Zealand. 

“That’s what people come here 

for – to have a good time, to soak 

up the atmosphere,” Mr Aikman 

said. 

“It’s something different, it’s 

something special – it’s the only 

street circuit built in the country 

at the moment.” 

Daniel Liemburg, of Timaru, 

was second in a Nissan 370Z 

with a time of 1min 54.9sec. Ben 

Terry, of Waimate, clocked 1min 

55.8sec in his final lap of the day 

in a Mitsubishi EVO to claim 

third. In spite of 13 crashes on 

the first day of the street race, 

there was only one on Sunday 

after drivers settled into the race. 

“They get a bit excited getting 

on a special circuit, you know, 

and it’s unforgiving. If you make 

an error, you’re into a wall,” Mr 

Aikman said. 

Sixty-five drivers competed in 

the Street Attack for a chance to 

qualify for the one-lap, fastesttime-takes-all, 

shootout final. 

The historic invitational drew 

20 drivers. Sixteen drift teams 

from the North and South Islands 

also competed. 

GARY LAWSON is hopeful a 

change in tune from Bowls New 

Zealand can see him represent 

his country once again after 

being overlooked for this year’s 

Commonwealth Games. 

Lawson is currently lending 

his considerable experience to 

the new Bowls3Five competition 

as part of Sky Sport’s commentary 

team. He then plans to reset 

his sights on an international 

recall. 

The 13-time national champion 

promptly retired after being 

overlooked for this year’s Commonwealth 

Games, but returned 

to the greens last month to help 

Eastbourne win the prestigious 

Australian club five-a-side on 

the Gold Coast. 

“I had a couple of yarns and 

spoke to [Bowls New Zealand 

chief executive] Mark Cameron 

and I decided it’d be silly [to 

retire],” said Lawson. 

“I’ve been playing pretty good, 

probably the best I’ve played 

since we won the world champs 

in 2008.” 

Lawson frequently clashed 

with the previous Bowls NZ 

administration and he has not 

represented the Blackjacks since 

2009, when the men’s four, 

which he skipped, deliberately 

lost an end during the Asia- 

Pacific tournament. 

But he is playing in the North 

East Valley invitation singles 

in Dunedin this week and has 

committed to lining up in the 

nationals, with the aim of representing 

New Zealand again. 

“I’d love to. That’s one of the 

reasons I’ve come back to play,” 

said Lawson. 

“I still think there’s unfinished 

business there for me . . . I 

wouldn’t make myself available 

if I didn’t think I was good 

enough for the team or able to

being a TV commentator before returning to bowls to 

push his case for national selection. 

add some value to it. 

“And I’d really like to be part 

of helping some of the young 

guys … get to the next level.” 

Current Blackjack Shannon 

McIlroy believes Lawson deserves 

a recall and feels he would 

make their team stronger. 

“The guy has won more New 

Zealand titles than anyone and 

he keeps winning New Zealand 

titles so on a performance basis 

he definitely should be in the top 

five,” said McIlroy. 

For now though Lawson’s 

attention will be on providing 

expert calls for Bowls3Five 

which runs on Tuesday and 

Wednesday evenings through to 

November 28. 

“My job is to try and educate 

the people watching … and 

hopefully add a little bit of expertise,” 

said Lawson. 

The double world champion 

has already provided a helping 

hand to former All Black Alex 

Wyllie, who is playing in the 

Bowls3Five competition for the 

Woodend Jets. 

“I’ve been doing a bit of 

training with him and he’s 

doing all right and I think 

people will really enjoy watching 

him play,” said Lawson. 

“He’s a fantastic bloke and 

not the big gruff, tough guy that 

everyone thinks he is. 

“He’s a gentle giant, a teddy 

bear.” 

Bishopdale, Elmwood players claim NZ junior titles 

SUCCESS: Reece Falck and 

Abby Mason were 16 and 

under champions at the 

New Zealand junior masters 

finals. 


REECE FALCK and Abby 

Mason will both head into the 

latest round of the premier 

interclub tennis competition on 

a high after lifting national titles 

on Labour Day. 

The Christchurch pair both 

won their 16 and under singles 

titles at the New Zealand junior 

masters finals in Hamilton. The 

tournament is contested between 

the top eight boys and girls players 

from 12 and under through 

to 16 and under. The rankings 

are decided on masters points 

earned throughout the year. 

Falck – who won the national 

under-14 boys title last year – 

defeated top seed Anton Shepp 

from Hamilton in a thrilling 

final that was decided by a third 

set tie-breaker which Falck won 

7-5 to complete a 6-4, 5-7, 7-6 (5) 

victory. 

The 16-year-old went undefeated 

without dropping a set 

through pool-play before defeating 

fellow Christchurch player 

and No 4 seed, Liam Adams, 

6-2, 6-1 in the semi-final. 

Falck will return to club action 

with Bishopdale in the Tennis 

Canterbury men’s premier interclub 

competition. 

The club No 1 will look to help 

Bishopdale edge out Waimairi 

on Saturday. In round one of the 

competition, Bishopdale had a 

close loss on sets to defending 

champions Cashmere. Falck 

defeated Harry Weeds 6-2, 6-2 

in singles and combined with 

Gareth Robb to defeat current 

New Zealand doubles champion 

James Meredith and Tim 

Meredith 1-6, 6-4, 10-6 in the 

doubles. 

Meanwhile Mason – who 

finished second at the national 

under-14 girls tournament in 

January – defeated top seed Elys 

Tse 6-3, 6-2 to win her maiden 

masters title. 

The No 2 seed had a near 

perfect weekend in Hamilton, 

winning all five of her matches 

without dropping a set. 

Mason will now look to help 

her Elmwood team bounce 

back following a defeat to 

Waimairi in their last interclub 

tie. On Saturday, they will host 

Cashmere which have started 

the season with a loss and a bye.

How property buyers can 

spot a healthy home 

Purchasing a house that’s warm and dry is a priority for many 

property hunters, but how can buyers identify a ‘healthy’ home? 

Real Estate Authority (REA) chief 

executive Kevin Lampen-Smith says 

there are a handful of key traits to 

watch out for. 

“A house that’s hard to heat 

can make you sick and miserable. 

In many cases, the key is good 

insulation,” Lampen-Smith says. 

The World Health Organisation 

recommends a minimum of 18 

degrees in our homes. Insulation is 

often the most practical and costeffective 

way to make a house more 

energy efficient. An insulated home 

is warmer in winter and cooler in 

summer, which can provide health 

benefits like reducing mould and 

damp. 

“Ask the agent or seller if the 

property is insulated, the type 

of insulation used and when it 

was installed. Ask your building 

inspector to check the state of the 

insulation,” Lampen-Smith suggests. 

Lampen-Smith explains insulation 

should be replaced or topped up if 

it’s less than 12cm thick, doesn’t 

cover the whole ceiling, has become 

wet or damp, or been damaged by 

rodents or birds. 

“If a property you’re looking at 

isn’t insulated, it’s a good idea to 

budget for the cost of doing the 

work, as your health (and your 

wallet) will thank you in the long 

term.” 

There’s support available for some 

buyers, such as a Warmer Kiwi 

Homes insulation grant. Some 

local councils also allow 

property owner to add the 

cost of insulation to their 

rates and pay this back 

over time. 

When working to 

identify a healthy home, 

Lampen-Smith says it’s 

important to watch out 

for dampness. Signs of 

dampness include musty 

smells, damp or mouldy 

wardrobe contents,

mould forming behind paintings or 

furniture, or mould or watermarks 

on ceilings or walls. 

“Condensation on windows, 

especially in bedrooms, isn’t 

necessarily a sign of excessive 

dampness if it only happens 

occasionally during winter,” 

Lampen-Smith explains. 

Ideally, the house will have 

extractor fans in the bathroom, 

kitchen and laundry that are vented 

outside. Fans should not be vented 

into the roof space. 

Good curtains can also help a 

house retain warmth. 

“It’s important to note that 

curtains aren’t necessarily included 

in the sale of the house, so ask about 

this and if the answer is yes, ensure 

they’re included in the list of chattels 

in the sale and purchase agreement,” 

Lampen-Smith says. 

According to EECA, good curtains 

should be floor-length and fit tightly 

against the wall or window frame. 

Sill-length curtains are ineffective. 

Curtains should be wider than the 

window frame and preferably be 

double layered with a thick lining. If 

the property has ineffective curtains, 

or does not come with curtains, 

buyers should factor this cost into 

their budget.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile 

traders acro s the districts could 

be l oming. 

However, the public has li tle 

interest in having input into the 

i sue. 

Only eight submi sions were 

received for a potential bylaw 

aimed at regulating commercial 

activities in public places. 

The district council wi l be 

holding a hearing for the Public 

Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial 

Activities and Events in 

Public Places. 

A hearing i scheduled to be 

held on Thursday. 

The bylaw comes as an increasing 

number of mobile traders 

are s eking t operate in Selwyn, 

especia ly during the summer 

months. 

In the past year, the district 

council has received five inquiries 

about se ting up a mobile busine s 

on private or public land. 

A report said there are two

THE PAPANUI-I nes 

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition 

to figh the city council over 

funding. 

Signatures are being co lected 

in a bid to get funding for a community 

facility in Shirley. 

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre 

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the 

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This 

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. 

The removal o funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stan down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act 

as advocate for the interests of its 

community and this is what we 

are doing. The LTP and a nual 

plans are a l about lo bying the 

council.”

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave 

Rock Apartments ar expecting the 

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek. 

Body corporate chairman Mike 

White said the group had gone 

into mediation with IAG and EQC 

on February 20, and signed off 

on a deal with IAG on February 

2 – coincidenta ly seven years 

to the day after the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. However, they 

are waiting for EQC to sign the 

agr ement. 

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted 

the agr ement, there’ l be no 

problem with them doing that.” 

The apartment suffered damage 

in the February and June, 20 1, 

earthquakes and were demolished in 

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the 

difference betw en indemnity value, 

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured, 

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body 

corporate. 

The mediation agr ement 

prevented Mr White from disclosing 

the se tlement amount, but he said it 

involved the two parties paying “a bit 

more money than they’d wanted to 

earlier.”

“It’s a major $18 million 

redevelopment that involves the 

demolition and rebuilding of half the 

Club’s current premises,” said Paul Inwood, 

General Manager. “e main bar area 

needed to be earthquake strengthened, so 

the Board decided to look at the bigger 

picture and create a multi-functi onal 

facility where families can spend more 

time in a relaxed environment.” 

e new west wing, to be completed by 

the end of 2019, will incorporate a large 

sports bar on the ground floor and a 

mezzanine floor above with a 

performance area and a cafe opening out 

to a deck with indoor/outdoor eating 

options. 

Next stage, the current east wing main 

bar will be gutted and replaced with a 

family restaurant; indoor children’s 

playground; corporate areas; and hall for 

the Club’s sporting sections. Completion 

date for Stage 2 is set at 12 months aer 

completion of Stage 1. 

In the meantime and throughout the 

redevelopment it is ‘BUSINESS AS 

USUAL’.. 

Next weekend is pumped full of top 

acts commemorating 25 years of live 

music whilst bidding farewell to the
