A CANTERBURY University law 

student being investigated for a 

sexual assault has been allowed to 

go overseas on a study-related trip. 

Bu the university’s dean of 

law Ursula Cheer is refusing to 

discuss the matter. 

“I can’t comment 

about any 

of this because 

of confidentiality 

and privacy,” she 

told The Star 

yesterday. 

The Star has 

learned a female 

student has laid 

a complaint abou the accused 

being allowed to go on the trip. 

It is understood it is no the 

same person who has laid the 

sexual assault complain to the 

police. 

The Star has been told it is a 

rape investigation. 

The Star sent a number of questions 

to Canterbury University 

yesterday but none would be answered. 

Said Canterbury University 

spokeswoman Margaret Agnew: 

“UC cannot respond to allegations 

that are before the police.” 

She referred the questions 

back to Dr Cheer. Her phone was 

turned off. 

Police would also not comment 

on the matter. 

The overseas trip involves 

both male and female law students.

‘Si and Phil’ to 

be back on 

air together 

ONE OF New Zealand’s bestknown 

radio partnerships is 

reuniting for Newstalk ZB in 2019. 

Rugby writer, author, radio host 

and Newstalk ZB contributor Phil 

Gifford will join Simon Barnett 

on Newstalk ZB for afternoons 

noon-4pm from mid-2019. 

NZME head of talk Jason 

Winstanley said many people 

would remember the ‘Si and Phil’ 

show on air in Christchurch and 

Dunedin. 

“When it comes to powerhouse 

breakfast shows, Simon and Phil 

dominated the air waves. It was a 

winning combination due to their 

genuine approach and their friendship 

off air, and Newstalk ZB is excited 

to be able to bring this combo 

back on air across the country.” 

Gifford said joining Barnett on 

Newstalk ZB was a return to the 

best times he ever enjoyed in radio. 

“Simon was like family to me, basically 

the annoying kid brother I 

never had. Time hasn’t changed that 

bond at all, and working together 

again is an amazing opportunity.” 

Barnett was a long-time 

breakfast host on More FM until

April. She is being treated for a

food for its fortnightly meetings. 

The Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton

munched through more than

of any of the city council’s seven

“It’s an internal matter. I don’t

Time to buy property as listings grow 

• By Julia Evans and 

Sophie Cornish 

IT’S A buyer’s market for 

properties in Canterbury. 

Figures released by realestate. 

co.nz yesterday show Canterbury 

as continuing to be one of the most 

active markets in the country. 

A big climb in new listings 

and a drop in asking prices are 

making the market more attractive 

to buyers, said realestate. 

co.nz spokeswoman Vanessa 

Taylor. 

Ms Taylor calls Canterbury a 

“unique region” and said there 

have been a number of times this 

year the region has bucked other 

main city trends, this month it 

has a similar profile to the Auckland, 

Central Otago/Lakes and 

Wellington regions. 

Harcourts real estate agent 

Cameron Bailey said the whole 

market was busy – from first 

home buyers to those looking for 

luxury. 

“I’d say it is a fair market. It’s 

a market for realistic sellers and 

there are really good opportunities 

for buyers too,” he said. 

But Mr Bailey said while it was 

busy, the city’s property market 

had finally recovered from the 

earthquake. 

“We’ve come off an artificial 

market. I’d say it has dropped 

back into a normal market. From 

a buyer’s point of view Christchurch 

is a beautiful city to live in 

and there’s so much cool stuff 

happening.” 

New listings in Canterbury 

lifted 12.3 per cent to 1776, while 

the average asking price dropped 

2.7 per cent to $498,208. 

In the past month the Canterbury 

region had more than 

44,000 unique browsers looking 

at property. 

Mr Bailey said there was a 

lot of housing stock in the city, 

which meant buyers could be 

more picky as to how they spend 

money. 

“People can be more price 

sensitive and pay what a house is 

worth, not always what the buyer 

wants. It gives them more opportunities 

and more choice.” 

The most popular suburbs 

searched were Fendalton, Rangiora, 

the central city, Cashmere, 

then Rolleston. 

MARKET: 

Harcourts real 

estate agent 

Cameron Bailey 

with a property 

in Wood Lane, 

Fendalton, 

which is one 

of the most 

popular suburbs 

along with the 

central city 

(above). 

“Cantabrians remain the 

biggest searchers for property 

within the region, which is 

no surprise. They’re followed 

by property seekers from the 

Auckland, Otago and Wellington 

regions. 

Mr Bailey said the central city 

was popular for convenience. 

Suburbs such as Fendalton and 

Cashmere were close to town, 

but also allowed for a suburban 

lifestyle. 

“However, there is also interest 

from Australia, with New 

South Wales and Queensland 

registering the next highest levels 

of seekers after the main New 

Zealand centres,” said Ms 

Taylor. 

Mr Bailey said he’d had a lot of 

interest from Australia and the 

United Kingdom in particular for 

the last few years. 

“People are seeing an 

opportunity from the rebuild 

and coming back to the city,” he 

said. 

Mortgage broker Sam Parsons 

said first home buyers are the 

biggest market for his business 

right now. 

“We are still finding the first 

home market to be extremely 

strong. There is still a lot of 

first home buyers entering the 

market. But there is less in the 

way of investors and older age 

bracket, second-home purchasing 

going on, which is generally for 

investment properties.”

it’s too late to get your

Timeball special for CTV survivor 


• By Matt Salmons 

MARYANNE Jackson survived 

the tragedy of the CTV building 

collapse in the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake. 

THe site will forever hold 

emotional memories for the Mt 

Pleasant woman. 

Tomorrow, another quakedevasted 

site will also hold 

special memories when the 

rebuilt Lyttelton Timeball tower 

is reopened. 

Her grandmother Gertrude 

was born there in 1889 while her 

great-grandfather John Richard 

Toomey was the flag-signalman. 

“We were always told about 

it and we often went there,” Ms 

Jackson said. 

“It was like our castle on the 

hill . . . it was close to our heart. 

A great connection that we are 

very proud of.” 

Ms Jackson and her brother 

John McKenna, a Lytteltonbased 

ship’s captain, would 

attend the opening ceremony. 

THe tower was almost 

completely destroyed along with 

the station building during the 

February 22 earthquake and 

subsequent aftershocks. 

Only the tower section of the 

1876-built structure could be 

saved, the $3 million restoration 

project began in July last 

year. Work on the tower and 

flagpole finished in June, while 

landscaping work finished this 

week. 

Ms Jackson was the only CTV 

employee in the building to 

escape when the magnitude 6.3 

DESCENDANT: 

Maryanne Jackson 

with a painting of 

the Timeball Station 

which belonged to her 

mother. 

earthquake struck. 

She ran from her ground-floor 

desk when the shaking began. 

The building collapsed behind 

her claiming 16 of her colleagues. 

In total, 115 people were killed 

in the central city building, the 

Madras St site of which is now a 

memorial to those who died. 

RETURNING: The Lyttelton Timeball 

tower reopens to the public tomorrow. 

Ms Jackson said her mother 

Hilary would be very upset to 

know the fate of the Timeball 

Station. 

“I would like to see it all 

rebuilt, but it’s great to see it back 

up on the side of the hill.” 

Ms Jackson said seeing the 

tower restored returned “a bit of 

normalcy” to the port. 

THe years where the iconic 

structure was not visible on the 

hill had been “upsetting,” she 

said. 

Ms Jackson’s great-grandfather 

John Richard Toomey was the 

first flag-signalman to live in the 

Timeball Station, taking the post 

in 1879 at the age of 15. 

Signalmen used coloured flags 

to communicate between ships 

and the port. 

John Richard 

Toomey 

Mr Toomey taught himself both 

local and international flag signals 

as well as Morse code and other 

tools of the signalman’s trade. 

“Quite clever really, but he 

would have learned a lot from 

his father Peter Michael Toomey 

who was a sea captain,” Ms 

Jackson said. 

Signalmen worked from the 

tower until 1934, when they were 

replaced by radio. 

Mr Toomey later moved his 

family to Adderley Heads where 

he held another signalman’s 

position, before moving back to 

Lyttelton itself. 

“Our family has always lived in 

Lyttelton,” Ms Jackson said. 

“THe sea has always been in 

our blood. I always have to live 

near the sea.”

The aftermath of being hooked on 

Synthetic drugs have 

possibly caused two 

deaths in Christchurch 

and put many others 

in hospital. Reporter 

Sophie Cornish talks to 

a recovering addict 

AT THE height of her addiction, 

Samantha Tye lost her children, 

family and ended up in jail. 

Now, after eight years on 

synthetic drugs, Miss Tye has 

been clean for eight months, 

however, she still lives with the 

effects of her drug use. 

Miss Tye no longer has custody 

of her two children, aged nine 

and six-years-old and suffers 

from depression and anxiety. 

The 24-year-old moved away 

from Christchurch to Invercargill 

to get clean at the beginning of 

the year. 

When she first tried synthetic 

cannabis it was still legal to buy 

in New Zealand. 

Then known as ‘legal highs,’ 

the drugs were banned in 2014, 

with the introduction of the 

Psychoactive Substances Act. 

The synthetic drugs were 

more appealing to Miss Tye, 

being cheaper and stronger than 

normal cannabis. 

IN RECOVERY: Samantha Tye was hooked on synthetic drugs for eight years before she went cold turkey eight months ago. 

“I’m not exactly sure when I first 

started smoking it . . . my friend 

who used to smoke it one day 

offered me a puff to try it and I got 

hooked . . . it gave me a better buzz 

than weed did, it was way stronger 

and you were more high for a 

longer period of time,” she said. 

A bag of the drugs could be 

purchased for as low as $10. 

Her addiction led her to 

shoplifting, a criminal record and 

eventually to jail, in 2015. 

Miss Tye received a six-month 

sentence for shoplifting offences. 

She would sell stolen goods to 

support her addiction. 

Prior to this, Child Youth and 

Family became involved with her 

son in 2014, and he was taken off 

her. 

He has lived with his adoptive 

parents for five years. 

Her daughter has lived with 

Miss Tye’s sister for eight years. 

Her family tried to get Miss Tye 

clean throughout her addiction 

period, however, she admits she 

pushed them away. 

“They did try and help me but 

eventually, they stepped back. 

I was so involved with heaps of 

people on the drugs and pushed 

my whole family away.” 

After a recent death of a friend, 

who she didn’t wish to name, 

Miss Tye wants the message out 

about how dangerous synthetic 

drugs can be. 

During her detox process, 

which lasted about two weeks, 

Miss Tye was left shaking, 

spewing, sweating and screaming 

at the walls. 

“I basically shut myself away at 

home, away from everyone and 

just did it on my own. I had to 

barricade myself in my room 

. . . after two weeks I woke up and 

felt like a cigarette and a big feed 

of fish ’n’ chips. So that’s what I 

did and I never looked back.” 

Final stage. Final opportunities.

synthetic drugs 

Now, Miss Tye lives with 

a family friend in Timaru 

and says she is trying to 

“keep to herself.” 

She struggles with concentration, 

gets tired easily, 

gets anxiety in busy places 

and admits some days she 

doesn’t want to get out of

She is on anti-depression

synthetic drug use in 

Christchurch, one on

Road patroller to artist 


KATIE TEMPLE never 

thought her job as a roadpatroller 

would lead her to 

creating inspiring artwork. 

The 10-year-old is 

the youngest ever 

winner of the junior section 

of this year’s SCAPE 

Public Art Re:Activate 

competition. 

Her art piece titled 

Changing Pathways was 

inspired by the signs she 

uses in her role as a roadpatroller 

at Thorrington 

Primary School. 

Both sides of the 

‘lollipop’ Katie carries as 

she helps children cross the 

road safely has a different 

message on it. 

“On one side of the road 

patrol sign it says ‘thanks 

for stopping’ and on the 

other side it says, ‘have a 

nice day’. So that’s where I 

got the idea of using signs.” 

she said. 

Katie’s artwork has two 

signs, which relate to our 

everyday choices, which 

she wanted to highlight, 

such as walking, biking 

and how we use water. 

Katie’s mother Kimala 

Temple admits Katie has 

been “quietly excited” by 

all the comments on her 

artwork and how far her 

message has gone. 

“During SCAPE’s grand 

opening, a professor from 

Massey University told 

Katie that her artwork 

was inspiring and some of 

the best she had seen. She 

took photos to show her 

students,” she said. 

SCAPE spokeswoman 

Carolyne Grant said Katie 

is the youngest winner 

they have ever had in the 

competition. 

“Katie is excited to have 

her artwork in Hagley 

Park, to get attention and 

provoke thoughts on all the 

subjects especially around 

the environment, people 

and animals of the world,” 

she said.

Keeping the old skills alive 

While machines serve 

us at supermarkets 

and make almost all of 

the products we use 

every day, the traditions 

of old are still being 

kept alive by a select 

few craftspeople. Julia 

Evans reports 

CAN YOU carve a mandolin out 

of a piece of wood? 

How about weave a harakeke 

basket, make your own soap or 

bind a book? 

It’s old practices like these that 

being preserved by craftspeople 

around the city and their place 

in 2018 will be showcased during 

next week’s Necessary Traditions 

festival. 

From shoemaking, Windsor 

chair making, rag-rug making, 

blacksmithing, 

willow basketwork, 

pin-hole 

photography 

and sourdough 

baking. To 

soap making, 

cup, bowl and 

Juliet Arnott 

spoon carving, 

reforestation, 

darning, preserving and fermenting, 

heritage building techniques, 

raranga harakeke weaving, bookbinding 

and ceramics. 

It sounds like the start of a 

poem – only missing a butcher, a 

baker and a candlestick maker. 

The festival at the Arts Centre 

is the first of its kind. 

For ceramicist Tatyanna 

Meharry the event is about 

passing on a skill she was taught 

by her grandmother. 

“I grew up in a really creative 

family, my grandmother was an 

artist and a potter. I remember 

we were allowed to go into her 

studio and make the world’s ugliest 

pots when we were young,” 

she said. 

“If you couldn’t make it in our 

family, you couldn’t have it.” 

Meharry said keeping traditional 

craft alive was important 

in the 21st-century. 

“It’s really important because 

we live in a consumer society. 

It’s bit of a monster really. With 

mass-made consumer products 

you’re less likely to understand 

the story behind them and so just 

throw them out,” she said. 

However, Meharry’s work connect 

the item to the location it 

was sourced from. 

She uses local raw clay materials 

to create bowls that look like 

landscapes when fired. 

“I collect resources from 

around New Zealand, particularly 

Canterbury. I’m passionate 

about resources, you have to 

create items that are treasures,” 

she said. 

Meharry said her work aimed 

to create a sense of location and 

place, as well as knowing exactly 

where all the materials came 

from. 

“Bowls that are mass-produced 

are made of other countries’ resources. 

They’re not bad, but you 

don’t value them.” 

A sustainable future meant 

taking time to consider where 

products came from and crafts 

such as ceramics and pottery 

were vital to that, she said. 

During the festival, Meharry 

will be giving a talk, hosting a 

public demonstration about her 

work and running workshops. 

While most people pop down 

to the store to buy a packet of 

shocking pink pegs to hang their 

washing out and a rake to boot, 

Greg Quinn makes his own. 

“The process of making them 

is as valuable to me as the end 

product. It’s a bonus that you get 

a usable product at the end,” he 

said. 

“I’ve experimented over the 

years and made lots of useless 

items.” 

Quinn said the consumerism 

boom was over and people were 

looking to a sustainable future. 

“A time may come in the 

future where you have to look 

for a shoemaker or whoever and 

they won’t be there if we don’t 

continue to support them now,” 

he said. 

“It’s all about keeping these 

crafts alive and keeping them 

relevant.” 

Festival organiser Juliet Arnott 

said the festival was unique as it 

set out to celebrate crafts in the 

context of the future. 

“We try to keep the traditions 

alive because they’re important 

for various reasons. But also 

we actually need some of these 

things for the future. It’s not just 

tradition for traditions sake.” 

But she said a lot of her 

inspiration came from watching 

craftspeople work in the Arts 

Centre before the earthquakes. 

“Its all about getting people to 

come along and watch the magic 

in seeing a material start in one 

state and finish in another.”

IN AWE: Sam and Rosie Averill will take part in Sunday’s event to 

remember the liberation of a small French town. 

Great-grandchildren of 

WW1 hero will be present 

at commemoration 

CHRISTCHURCH 

teenagers Rosie and Sam 

Averill will help mark the 

day – exactly 100 years 

ago – that their greatgrandfather 

took the first 

steps towards the liberation 

of a small French town. 

Leslie Averill was only 

a few years older than the 

pair when he became the 

first man to scale the ramparts 

of Le Quesnoy, climbing 

a precariously placed 

ladder to help surprise the 

German occupiers and seal 

a spot in the history of the 

Great War. 

That brave act by 21-yearold 

Lieutenant Averill and 

his fellow New Zealand 

Division soldiers will be 

commemorated with the 

unveiling of a plaque in 

Christchurch’s Park of 

Remembrance on Sunday 

at 5pm. 

For many, it was a young 

nation’s finest hour of 

World War 1. 

Both Rosie, 16, and her 

cousin, Sam, 15, are “very 

proud to have the Averill 

name.” 

“We are both in awe of 

our great-grandfather,” Rosie 

said. “It must have been 

utterly terrifying, putting 

your life on the line to help 

free a town.” 

For Sam, his greatgrandfather’s 

feat is “incredibly 

impressive.” 

“It’s cool that people 

think of my family name 

so highly, particularly in Le 

Quesnoy,” he said. 

Both Rosie and Sam have 

Leslie Averill 

visited the fortress town in 

northern France, and plan 

to return. 

They view their trip to Le 

Quesnoy as a pilgrimage, 

“a rite of passage for all 

family members.” 

“Imagine being there for 

the 150th anniversary,” 

says Rosie, who hopes to 

follow her great-grandfather 

into the medical 

profession. 

On Sunday, Sam 

and Rosie will join 

Mayor Lianne Dalziel, 

Christchurch Memorial 

RSA vice-president Jim 

Lilley, Lieutenant Colonel 

Kendall Langston and 

the Honorary Consuls 

for France, Martine 

Marshall-Durieux, and 

Belgium, Lieve Bierque, 

for the unveiling and tree 

planting. 

However, 70 Averill 

family members will be 

in Le Quesnoy that day 

as the citizens remember 

the heroic actions of the 

New Zealand Rifle Brigade 

soldiers from the other side 

of the world. 

While there was no loss 

of civilian life, 130 New 

Zealanders were killed in 

the push to free the town. 

A century later, visitors 

can wander down Rue du 

Docteur Averill and past 

L’école maternelle du Docteur 

Averill. 

Work is also under way 

to transform the former 

mayor’s residence in the 

town into a memorial 

museum commemorating 

New Zealand’s role in battles 

on the Western Front. 

Leslie Averill – by then a 

well-known Christchurch 

doctor – often returned to 

the town. 

Following the war, he 

had won a New Zealand 

Expeditionary Force scholarship 

to study medicine 

at the University of Edinburgh. 

In 1926, Dr Averill was 

appointed as the first 

executive of St George’s 

Hospital, holding that role 

for more than 40 years. He 

would continue to introduce 

new ideas on surgery and 

patient care in Canterbury 

for many years. 

In 1973, the French 

government made Dr 

Averill a Chevalier de la 

Légion d’honneur – one 

of the nation’s highest 

honours. He died in 

Christchurch on June 4, 

1981, aged 84.

Conserve water 

or face chlorine 

29 th October to 4 th November 2018 

RESIDENTS IN areas 

where water is no longer 

chlorinated may see 

treatment resume over 

summer — unless people 

across the city reduce how 

much they use. 

To cope with the traditional 

surge in demand 

over summer, the city 

council said it may need to 

draw water from wells that 

have not been signed off as 

secure. 

If that happens, all water 

provided from that pump 

station will need to be 

chlorinated. 

“There is no way to separate 

the water from the 

secure wells which doesn’t 

need to be chlorinated 

from that supplied 

from the unsecure 

below ground 

well heads, which 

will need to be 

treated,” said city 

council water 

supply improvement 

programme 

manager Helen 

Beaumont. 

“What’s important 

for people 

to understand is we need 

them to reduce how much 

water they use so we can 

keep working on upgrading 

well heads. Being able 

to work over summer is 

essential if we’re going to 

have any chance of removing

“We’ve simply asked

“Over winter, we have 

been able to rely on the 

secure above ground 

well heads at these pump 

stations. However, when 

usage goes up, we need 

to reintroduce the below 

ground wells that are yet 

to be upgraded, which 

means the water requires 

chlorination.” 

There are four sites with 

only above ground well 

heads — Gardiners, Estuary, 

Keyes and Prestons. 

Water from these will not 

be chlorinated. 

The city council is 

encouraging hand-held 

watering only for lawns and 

gardens on alternate days. 

Watering should take 

place between 9pm and 

7am.

“I’ve received the

Robinson said. 

In response to the initial 

questions, LPC chief 

executive Peter Davie said 

LPC was working with 

some of the country’s 

“leading marine mammal 

and acoustics experts” to 

minimise the effects of pile 

driving on dolphins. 

Mitigation steps included 

18 months of recorded 

data from eight passive 

acoustic detectors and four 

hydrophones, a monitored 

exclusion zone that if a 

dolphin enters, work will 

cease and “soft starts” to 

allow dolphins time to 

evacuate the harbour when

Bid to bring 

psychologist 

to Dallington 

• By Georgia O’Connor- 

Harding 

AUSTRALIAN disaster recovery 

expert and psychologist Dr Rob 

Gordon could be brought in 

to investigate ongoing social 

isolation issues in Dallington 

following the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake. 

The Coastal-Burwood 

Community Board will meet 

next week to plan how to make 

bringing a disaster psychologist 

into Dallington will come into 

fruition. 

A seminar will be held to 

consider bringing Dr Gordon 

to the city and the cost to do 

that. The meeting will also 

consider the current issues 

facing Dallington and the wider 

suburbs on the residential red 

zone fringe. 

It comes after the Dallington 

Community Trust has asked for 

funding from the board for a 

disaster psychologist. 

The trust wants the 

disaster psychologist to 

investigate the extent of the 

issue and turn it into a wellness 

programme. 

Understanding the money trail 

• By Julia Evans 

FORMER investment banker 

and city councillor Raf Manji 

wants to make the city’s finances 

understandable. 

Cr Manji said as it stands the 

city council’s finances are totally 

unpalatable to the people they 

impact the most – ratepayers. 

He said finances were currently 

“static” and 

“opaque” and 

planned to have 

simpler layout 

and graphics 

to help make 

city council 

Raf Manji 

spending more 

digestible. 

In the 2017-18 

financial year, the city council 

reported $13.1 billion in assets, its 

revenue was $992 million and its 

borrowing was $1.9 billion. 

It’s large figures like those, Cr 

Manji said were hard for residents 

to understand. 

Not only that, he said city 

councillors themselves struggle. 

“The issue for me is that it’s 

clearly problematic when councillors 

can’t understand them,” 

Cr Manji said. 

So he has been working on a 

plan to present the city council’s 

finances in terms that everyone 

understands. 

“The plans are to make the 

financial information more accessible 

. . . at the moment if you 

look at the info, it’s very difficult 

to understand. So I want to eventually 

get it online in things like 

simple pie charts and you will 

be slowly able to drill down into 

council spending,” he said. 

Cr Manji said the plan would 

be implemented in stages – starting 

with a new layout to this 

week’s finance and performance 

committee meeting agenda. 

“We’re spending a lot of time

Cr Manji said the goal was to

not feel like they could participate

OPERATORS OF the historic tug

January, a month later than they 

had hoped. 

Tug Lyttelton Preservation Society 

head stoker Mike Bruce said 

the marine surveyor who oversaw 

the tug’s sea trials on October 

4 had given the society a list of 

items to address before they could 

carry passengers. 

Though the society had funding 

to address most of it, the time 

frame pushed the date back from

“It’s nothing major, It’s just time

The list included the need to 

add another emergency exit and 

update flotation devices, fire

The most difficult item to address

for the lifeboat to be at least

at 6km for two hours. 

Mr Bruce said the society would 

request an exemption for the 

lifeboat requirement.

Quake survey 

a bid to help 

evacuation 

planning 

• By Georgia O’Connor- 

Harding 

PEOPLE LIVING along the 

Brighton coastline who evacuated 

the night of the 2016 Kaikoura 

earthquake are being called on to 

take part in a research project. 

Canterbury University is 

aiming to survey as many 

residents as possible to collect 

data on the tsunami evacuation 

response that took place following 

the magnitude 7.8 earthquake 

nearly two years ago. 

Matthew Hughes, one of the 

academics overseeing the project, 

said the survey isn’t about asking 

for opinions on the night of the 

earthquake, it is about what 

residents did in response to the 

tsunami hazard. 

The survey is part of a 

wider research project led by 

GNS Science and called 

Quicker and Safer Tsunami 

Evacuation through Agent-Based 

Modelling.

Art on walls and around the world 

THE LATEST local project 

for street artist Wongi ‘Freak’ 

Wilson could potentially see his 

art travelling all over the world. 

He has just arrived back 

from Taupo where he spent the 

previous five days taking part in 

Graffiato: Taupo Street Art Festival 

but Wongi Wilson aka Freak, 

is not slowing down. 

“That (the art festival) was a 

break from a relatively long-term 

commission that I started in 

September which will take me 

into the new year. The Ministry 

of Social Development approached 

me to paint murals at 

Te Punai Wai, each of the five 

units are being refurbished and 

I’m working my way through 

each one consecutively as they’re 

ready for me. 

Freak has gained notoriety 

not just in his home patch of 

Christchurch but further afield – 

a far cry for the man that used to 

get on his hands and knees to lay 

carpet for a living. Now he does 

what he loves, still voicing his 

opinion through his graffiti, but 

getting paid for it. 

“Street art is an intervention 

from the mundane and that’s 

extremely important. It’s also 

proven to be an excellent attraction 

for the tourism sector.” 

CREATIVE: Wongi Wilson at work on a mural. 

Another recent project was a 

commission by Christchurch 

Airport to create artwork for a 

set of limited edition recyclable 

bags. 

“The airport approached me 

and asked if I’d be interested in 

designing the reusable bags as 

part of the project. It took off 

from there and the project grew 

and they subsequently commissioned 

me to paint the designs to 

display at the airport,” he says. 

The three designs depict Our 

Place: Our City, Our Land and 

Our Ocean. Freak drew inspiration 

from iconic landmarks that 

make Christchurch and the 

South Island special. 

The bags will be available 

throughout November and 

December at participating 

airport retailers for customers 

who spend $50 or more.

Our People 

Tina Hutchison-Thomas 

From Star Wars to wearable art 

The colourful garments 

seen on stage and 

screen are the bread and 

butter of Mt Pleasant’s 

Tina Hutchison-Thomas. 

Matt Salmons caught 

up with the World of 

Wearable Art New 

Zealand design awardwinner 

Where did you grow up? 

I was born in Christchurch 

and I’m basically a Cantabrian 

through and through. I was here 

for my whole life until I went to 

Sydney. I did the fashion and 

design course at CPIT. That was 

a two-year course. 

What about your family? 

I met my husband Tim when 

I was 14 and he was 16. He took 

me to my first formal. We dated 

for a couple of months and then 

went our separate ways. We met 

again at a friend’s 20th. We’ve 

now got three children, Lily, 13, 

Harry, 11, and Maddie, 9. They’re 

all creative in their own right. 

Lily is more an artist, Harry is 

more into music and Maddie 

is more into performing arts. 

They see my long hours, but they 

understand and see my passion. 

Hopefully, that can evolve into a 

passion for their careers. 

What was your first job after 

study? 

My first job was with the 

Southern Ballet as the wardrobe 

mistress. It hadn’t had a 

wardrobe mistress for ages and 

the place was a bit of a wreck. I 

was just up for any challenge so I 

said ‘yes, I can do it’. The first big 

end-of-year show I did required 

30 tutus and I had no idea how to 

make them. I pulled a tutu apart, 

worked out how it was made and 

then roped in a whole bunch of 

ballet mums to get the job done. 

That was my first experience of 

a 70-hour week and strangely I 

wanted to come back. I think it 

was enough to get me hooked. 

What do you like about 

costume designing? 

All my costume skills, I’ve 

learned on the job. There’s way 

more sowing and handwork than 

you’d have in fashion. It’s much 

more labour intensive which is 

what I enjoy the most. 

Where to from there? 

There wasn’t a great deal of 

costume work in Christchurch 

so I jumped on a plane at 21 to 

go to Sydney. I hated it, it was 

awful. I wanted to go straight 

into costume, but I didn’t have 

enough experience so I ended up 

in retail. I came back and worked 

with the Court Theatre for three 

years. One of my contacts got 

work on Star Wars: Revenge of 

the Sith. I put my hand up and 

we went back to Sydney for four 

years in 2003. That was a massive 

eye-opener. 

Did you work on any 

costumes people would know? 

I did Jimmy Smits’ costumes, 

STUDIO: Tina Hutchison-Thomas at home in her studio with the World of Wearable Art 

award she won for her Eye See you Fluffy Kōwhai costume design. 

he was Bail Organa (in Star 

Wars: Revenge of the Sith). I 

also got to work on the actual 

Darth Vader costume and a 

bit of work on Keisha Castle- 

Hughes’ costume. I was basically 

in charge of the silk velvet. It’s 

really temperamental. If you’re 

making costumes, it’s your 

least favourite fabric as it has a 

mind of it’s own, it’s expensive 

and it’s really hard to get. After 

that, I free-lanced at Sydney 

Theatre Company and Opera 

Australia. I also worked for a 

company that made costumes for 

the touring show of Phantom of 

the Opera in which they sent me 

to South Africa and China. 

When did you come back to 

NZ? 

I got pregnant when we were 

in Sydney and we had our first 

child over there. I got pregnant 

again quite quickly and we 

came back to Christchurch at 

the end of 2006. I worked for a 

little bit with Southern Opera 

while having another child. I 

then ended up back at the Court 

Theatre. We’ll probably move 

back to Sydney when the kids 

grow up, who knows. 

Was that when you landed the 

job working on New Zealand 

film The Stolen? 

I got to design that, which was 

really exciting as that had been 

a life goal for me. I brought my 

dear friend Joanna Grenke over 

to help. She’s the menswear tailor 

at Sydney Theatre Company. We 

hired a whole bunch of locals 

as well. It was a real challenge 

but the Court Theatre was a 

great resource and we hired 

more costumes from Auckland. 

Not only did I design all the 

costumes, but I ran the costume 

department, cut patterns, 

stitched costumes, and worked as 

a wardrobe standby. No wonder 

I needed a break after that film. 

There were so many extras, it 

really pushes you to your limits. 

I did at least one 100-hour week. 

But I knew it would be tough and 

I’m always up for a challenge. 

Why did you leave the Court 

Theatre? 

I’d got to a point in my career 

where I felt that I wanted the 

next challenge, so I left and 

have been working in freelance 

costuming ever since. Then 

WOW came up. I said ‘I’ll give 

it a go’. I never thought I was 

an arty kind of person, I was 

always a purist when it came 

to costume. My idea ‘geogami’ 

came up very quickly and just 

evolved as I worked on it and 

I got into the final, so that 

was really exciting. It was a 

great experience and it’s very 

addictive. As soon as I came 

back I was thinking about what 

to do this year. 

How was it working without 

the constraints of a script? 

I found that difficult. When 

I’m designing for a show, it’s 

much more collaborative. But 

designing a costume without 

constraints, it was a challenge. 

And I really struggled writing 

about the piece. For me, there 

have always been guidelines, so 

that was the hardest part. But 

it was different, so that’s why I 

liked it. 

Where did the idea for this 

year’s design come from? 

For my entry this year, 

I wanted to do something 

completely different, which is 

why everything was soft and 

fluffy. I’d done spikes before. 

Last year I saw what the judges 

were looking for in the winning 

designs. I knew they liked 

sparkly detail and interesting use 

of fabric. I put them all together 

and ended up with the crazy 

Fluffy Kōwhai inspired by the 

poodle moth. 

That’s not a common moth, 

where did you hear about it? 

One of the sections this year 

was ‘under the microscope’. 

So I was looking at moths and 

butterflies and the poodle moth 

caught my eye. I thought what 

is that? I hadn’t seen a lot of fur 

in other shows so I thought I’d 

give it a go. It allowed me to do 

both fabric dying and sparkly. I 

spent ages doing the eyes, way 

longer than I anticipated. The 

problem was that I had four 

other jobs on at the same time 

to finish. I missed the shipping 

deadline but my dad and my 

step-mum offered to take it to 

Nelson. I finished it at 5am and 

they picked it up at 8am, it was a 

bit of a mission. I’ve done some 

long hours, but I’d never done an 

all-nighter in my 20-something 

years in costuming. 

Will you enter next year? 

I don’t know. I was just saying 

to Tim this morning that maybe 

that’s another box ticked for me. 

It depends on the workload, but 

that doesn’t seem to be a problem 

for me, I just keep saying yes to 

everything, so we’ll see.

All hands on deck for summer planting 

With summer just around 

the corner, it’s all hands on 

deck to ensure a steady 

harvest throughout the 

summer months. Get 

those heat-loving crops in 

the ground ahead of the 

warm, long days to come 

BEFORE ANY of the following 

crops can be planted, the soil 

needs to be well nourished and 

dug over. If the ground is dry, 

it will need a good watering 

before any crops go in. Blend 

in soil conditioners, such as 

sheep pellets and well-matured 

compost, or a bit of both, then 

add a dusting of vegetable 

fertiliser and you are good to 

grow. 

Tomatoes 

By now, if you have been 

growing your own plants from 

seed, the plants should be at a 

size where they are ready for 

transplanting into the garden. 

Aim for seedings to be at least 

10cm tall, however they can 

three or four times that size too. 

Position them in a sunny spot 

away from any blustery winds, 

and plant them deeply in the 

soil. And don’t forget to stake 

the plants – this is important 

if you want a bumper crop, as 

the stems can easily break with 

the weight of the fruit and can 

be damaged by wind. If room 

is tight, and space is limited, 

grafted tomatoes produce a 

larger and more reliable crop on 

one plant. 

‘Big Boss’ is a new variety this 

year. It is a beefsteak variety, 

only grows to 1m tall and 

produces loads of large fruit 

that are about 0.5kg each. With 

superb flavour and reliable 

cropping ability, look out for 

it and ask for it by name at 

Oderings. 

Eggplant 

Plants will be in all the garden 

centres now, so if you missed 

sowing seeds, don’t panic. Plant 

one to two plants per person in 

the household. Eggplants need a 

long, hot summer to thrive, so if 

you live in a spot that hasn’t fully 

warmed up yet, you can hold off 

planting them out for another 

month. They are an ideal crop 

for large tubs and bins, just 

ensure they have good drainage 

as they hate wet feet. Be aware 

that they are not a fast-growing 

crop, and they do take a few 

weeks to settle in before they 

start actively growing. 

Both grafted and seedling 

hybrids are available in the 

shops. Seed catalogues have a 

huge selection of varieties and 

it isn’t too late to sow seed – if 

the plants are in the ground by 

Christmas you will be fine. 

‘Golden egg’ is a neat golfball-sized 

yellow variety and one 

of the best larger ones is ‘black 

moon’. 

Cucumber 

Now the ground temperatures 

are warm, and the coldest nights 

are all but over, cucumbers can 

be planted out. You still have 

time to sow seeds, too – these 

germinate in about one week, 

and are ready to plant out within 

a month. For the best results, 

telegraph cucumbers do best in 

a glasshouse or in a sheltered 

spot in the garden. As they 

begin to grow, the long tendrillike 

branches scramble. Where 

possible, tie these branches up to 

keep the developing fruit off the 

ground as this will ensure even 

ripening. However, if the fruit 

get too heavy on the vine and 

move about in the wind they can 

snap off, so, in areas where wind 

protection is not guaranteed, it 

is best to leave cucumber to trail 

along the ground – a few pale 

patches on the bottom side of a 

cucumber is better than nothing. 

A reliable smooth-skinned 

telegraph variety is ‘english 

greengrocer’ (see kings seeds). 

Apple cucumbers are neat, with 

their pale creamy white flesh 

and skin, and for those who 

enjoy the smaller, more intensely 

flavoured cucumbers look for 

the Lebanese types. These are 

ideal for growing along the 

ground. 

Kūmara 

For gardeners who live in cold 

regions, apologies, but kūmara 

won’t easily grow for you – they 

require a long, hot season. 

Bundles of cuttings are in 

the shops now and should be 

planted in well-prepared and 

dug-over soil, on mounds, 

roughly 30–50cm apart. The 

plants take a few weeks to settle 

in and, by Christmas, 

the plants will be actively 

growing, almost like triffids, 

if the conditions are ideal. Water 

as required when the soil dries 

out. Harvest should be done 

before the frosts arrive as the 

crop needs to cure in the sun.

2 tablespoons sugar 

Directions 

Put strawberries and sugar 

in a saucepan and cook over 

medium-low heat for about 5min 

until it gets juicy and tender. Let 

it cool completely. 

Whisk yogurt and water until 

creamy. Stir in honey. 

Put 2 tablespoons yogurt into 

a glass. 

Cover it with cooked strawberries. 

Make another layer of yogurt 

over strawberries.

PAN-SEARED PORK 

STEAKS AND STEAMED 

ASPARAGUS 

Ingredients 

4 ribeye pork steaks 

1 teaspoon salt 

1 teaspoon cracked pepper or 

peppercorns 

1 tablespoons olive oil 

6 cloves roasted garlic 

2 tablespoons unsalted butter 

Bunch of asparagus spears 

Directions 

Season the pork steaks 

with salt and peppercorns. 

Allow them to come to room 

temperature for about 30min. 

Heat a heavy bottom pan 

(preferably cast iron) that will fit 

all the steaks over high heat. Add 

the oil. When the oil shimmers 

in the pan and begins to move, 

it’s time to add the steaks. Carefully 

add them, one at a time, to 

the pan. Allow to cook without 

moving for 5min. 

After five minutes, flip the 

steaks. By this point, the oil 

should be very hot. Turn the heat 

down to medium-high after the 

steaks have all been flipped. Add 

in the roasted garlic. 

After 3min, add in the butter 

and reduce the heat to medium 

low. 

Continue until the steaks are 

cooked through. 

•Cooking times are going to 

vary with the thickness of your 

steaks. The thicker the meat, the 

longer the cook time. 

•Serve with cooked asparagus, 

steamed or, for simplicity, cook 

for 4min in a microwave.

Toyota Corolla hybrid 

beats rising fuel prices 

I’VE OFTEN been told it’s 

the little things that count, 

looking after the pennies 

and the pounds will take 

care of themselves, is a 

saying I relate to. 

It may seem a small 

point, but Toyota’s new 

Corolla hybrid is rated 

to run on 91-octane fuel, 

down from 95-octane the 

previous model needed. If 

you take into account the 

cost of fuel these days – 

$2.35 per litre at the time 

this evaluation went to 

print, against $2.45 for premium 

– the savings over 

time will certainly add up. 

Take into account, too, 

that the Corolla hybrid is 

regarded as a fuel miser in 

the first instance, then it’s 

no wonder that the world is 

looking at electric power as 

the answer to our reliance 

on fossil fuel. 

The entire Corolla 

range has entered its 12thgeneration, 

as opposed to 

a totally new car, the latest 

Corolla is more of an 

upgrade, however, it’s a 

substantial upgrade, there’s 

a new chassis structure and 

in both hybrid and nonhybrid 

forms there have 

been significant driveline 

enhancements. 

There are five Corolla 

models – two of those are 

hybrid. I’m due to drive the 

traditional petrol model 

later in the year, this evaluation 

focuses on the rangetopping 

ZR hybrid. 

In its latest iteration, the 

Corolla has come a long 

way, build quality is superb, 

and it feels just so right to 

be in. In ZR form it carries 

a lot of kit – head-up 

display, satellite navigation, 

combination leather trim, 

heated seats up front, and 

a raft of other specification 

which, for a car listing at 

just $38,490, is amazing 

given you also get the benefits 

of hybrid technology. 

Toyota rates the Corolla 

hybrid with a 4.2-litre per 

100km (67mpg) combined 

cycle average. The 

trip computer was listing 

an impressive 5.3l/100km 

(53mpg) average when I 

took the evaluation car 

back to the dealership. 

Based around the 

mechanicals which have 

made Prius a household 

word in terms of hybrid 

technology, the Corolla 

hybrid utilises a 1.8-litre 

petrol engine coupled to the 

Synergy Drive system which 

transfers power though a 

continuously variable automatic 

transmission. 

Motoring 

Ross Kiddie 

TOYOTA COROLLA HYBRID: Fuel-friendly. 

The petrol/electric combination 

develops a total of 

around 90kW and 142Nm, 

varying at any given time 

depending on whether 

the engine is active and/or 

batteries are supplying the 

drive. 

• Price – Toyota 

Corolla ZR hybrid, 

$38,490 

• Dimensions – 

Length, 4370mm; 

width, 1790mm; 

height, 1435mm 

• Configuration – 

Four-cylinder, frontwheel-drive, 

1798cc, 

90kW, 142Nm, 

continuously 

variable automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 11sec 

• Fuel usage – 

4.2l/100km 

Of course, electric propulsion 

is the ultimate 

aim, and if situations 

allowed, that would be the 

case but, of course, battery 

capacity is constantly 

exhausted, and as a vehicle 

it is required to accelerate 

and maintain momentum, 

which is why the petrol 

engine operates at will. 

The entire process is 

seamless, and Toyota has 

indicated it has done more 

work to make that transition 

even more fluid. With 

the quiet way in which the 

engine works, it’s really 

hard to pick up the points 

at where the petrol engine 

is cutting in and out. 

When it comes time to 

tackle a quick corner or 

two, the Corolla hybrid 

steers with precision and 

reacts favourably to steering 

input. If you also take 

into account that the batteries 

create a more even 

front/rear weight distribution, 

body movement is 

well balanced and there is 

just gentle movement over 

the suspension. 

In ZR form the tyres 

are a sport specification 

Dunlop type (225/45 x 

18in), they offer substantial 


grip and strong steering 

feel for the driver. 

I took the test car on 

a quick burst through 

Gebbies Pass from 

Motukarara to Teddington 

and return, those steep 

hilly sections were no trouble 

to the hybrid system, 

and the handling was absolutely 

delightful, it steers 

directly and reacts quickly 

to steering input, the tyre/ 

chassis/suspension combination 

promotes a sporty 

feel. 

However, the Corolla 

hybrid can’t be considered 

a quick car, but it 

will return a standstill to 

100km/h acceleration time 

of 11sec, which suggests 

that it still has respectable 

speed, which we have come 

to expect from hybrids and 

electric vehicles in total. 

It seems a long time ago 

that Corolla relinquished 

its mantle as New Zealand’s 

top-selling motor vehicle, 

a position it held for many 

years. 

Of course, as history has 

served to prove, utes are 

now the vehicles of choice 

for our market, however, 

what Toyota has done with 

Corolla means it is still 

fighting to get that top spot 

back, the hybrid is a clever 

piece of kit, and it is a car 

which you just drive as 

normal and wonder where 

the difference between it 

and the standard model 

lies; that is until you go to 

fill up and the savings will 

immediately be obvious. 

If you are in the market 

for a new car and the idea 

of hybrid appeals to you 

but ZR specification is out 

of range, there’s a low-spec 

GX model which would 

probably be my choice at 

$32,990. Take into account, 

too, that each of these cars 

is at least $10,000 cheaper 

than the Prius, which, to my 

way of thinking, represents 

great value. 

As an aside, also take into 

account there is an eightyear/160,000km 

battery 

warranty.

A man of marathons, meditation, music 

Vajin Armstrong has 

run close to 10,000km 

across the 21 countries 

he has visited this 

year to date. The ultramarathon 

runner has 

recently returned to 

Christchurch for the 

summer after a busy 

winter season in the 

Northern Hemisphere. 


reports 

MOST PEOPLE would think 

you’d need to be mad to run 

close to 250km across six days 

in the Sahara Desert. However, 

that was a bucket list moment 

for Vajin Armstrong in April 

when he finished eighth at the 

Marathon des Sables. 

The event in southern Morocco 

is widely regarded as the world’s 

toughest foot race. To add to 

the challenge it is self-sufficient 

meaning Armstrong had to 

carry everything he needed for 

the entire race on his back. 

Half the challenge of the event 

came down to what to pack in 

your backpack which had to 

carry a minimum weight of 

6.5kg. 

A decision on what weight 

sleeping blanket to take for the 

surprisingly cold nights in the 

Sahara or whether or not to pack 

a gas cooker played a big role in 

the race. Adding an 8kg pack to 

his 60kg frame was noticeable 

early for Armstrong who battled 

with shoulder pains on the first 

evening. He says most of the 

elite runners choose not to take a 

cooking device. 

“For me you take your freeze 

dried meal, mix it with water 

and put it out in the sun. You’d 

leave it out there for an hour or 

so and it would get hot enough 

. . . it was never a culinary treat 

but you’re just trying to get the 

calories back in,” said Armstrong. 

Armstrong finished the race 

in a total time of 22hr 36min. Of 

the 1078 entrants 934 finished 

the race. 

“I found it be a really 

transformative experience.” 

“We all have a lot more 

strength and capacity than we 

often are aware of, because we 

never get challenged or pushed 

far enough where we have to 

bring forward that strength we 

have within us.” 

Armstrong had success as a 

teenager with middle distance 

running but became disconnected 

with running until 

he completed his first ultramarathon 

in 2009. He then went 

onto win his first of three Kepla 

Challenge titles in 2010 and has 

been racking up races of huge 

distance since. 

He now trains between 20-25 

hours a week where he clocks up 

anywhere around 200km. 

The other highlight of the 

recent Northern Hemisphere 

trip was third place finish at the 

renowned Gornergrat Zermatt 

Marathon in Switzerland. It was 

Armstrong’s fourth time competing 

in the race but first time 

he had finished on the podium. 

“You start at 1000m above sea 

level and finish at about 2500m.” 

SCENERY: 

Armstrong 

on his way 

to a second 

place finish 

in the 85km 

Swiss alpine 

marathon in 

July. (Above): 

Armstrong at 

his St Asaph 

St music 

store where 

he imports 

and sells 

instruments. 

Armstrong has already lined 

up his next bucket list event – the 

Comrades Marathon in South 

Africa. The event in June will see 

25,000 runners take on the 90km 

course between Durban and 

Pietermaritzburg which has been 

run annually since 1921. 

“My goal now with my running 

is to travel, visit new places, 

share and connect experiences 

and meet new people.” 

His job also has an international 

flavour. Armstrong 

imports and sells musical instruments 

from all parts of the world 

at his store – Gandharva Loka – 

in St Asaph St. 

Another big part of Armstrong’s 

life has been meditation. 

“For me meditation really 

helps with running. One of the 

big limiting factors when you’re 

out there for a long time is your 

own mind. Often your mind 

gives up before your body does.” 

Given the name Luke at 

birth, Armstrong later took the 

spiritual name, Vajin, which was 

given by his meditation teacher 

Sri Chinmoy. The name means 

Strong, spirited and heroic. 

“He gave me that name in 2007 

just before he passed away . . . 

the idea with the name is to give 

you inspiration to aspire towards 

bringing some of those qualities 

to the fore.” 

Targa title for 

father and son 

CHRISTCHURCH father and son 

team Stewart and Rory Callaway 

returned home with the production 

four-wheel-drive overall title, based 

on the results of the two Targa 

rallies held this year. 

At the Targa NZ held in Otago 

and Southland last week the pair 

finished eighth overall and first in 

the production 4WD class. Their 

overall time of 3hr 43min 12sec saw 

them pip Andy Oakley and Steve 

Hutchins in their Audi A4 by nearly 

3min. 

Last year was the pair’s first Targa 

showing, when they finished 23rd 

and shared the driving. This year, 

Rory, 25, the youngest driver in the 

field, took hold of the steering wheel. 

The overall title was won by 

the Auckland pairing of Glenn 

Inkster and Spencer Winn in their 

Mitsubishi Evo 8 in a time of 3hr 

29min 13sec. 

Near perfect record for golfers 

CANTERBURY’S MEN’S and 

women’s teams took home the 

silverware at their respective 

South Island interprovincial 

tournament’s at the weekend. 

Playing at Invercargill the 

women’s team had a near perfect 

weekend winning all four of 

their ties and dropping just four 

matches out of a total 32. Strong 

individual performances by 

Hillary O’Connor, Amy Weng, 

Maddie May and Mel Newburn, 

who all won all four games, 

ensured the Canterbury win. 

Meanwhile, the men – playing 

at Methven – won all four 

of their ties to defend their 

title. A 4.5-3.5 win over second 

placed Tasman proved to be 

the decider for the men with 

Hiroki Miya, Richard Reed, 

Kazuma Kobori and recently 

crowned Canterbury match play

champion Scott Manyweathers 

all picking up vital wins in the 

Tasman tie. 

Both teams will have strong 

hopes at the upcoming national 

interprovincial tournaments 

both being held in Christchurch. 

The women’s team will be 

looking to recapture the title 

they last won in 2015, while the 

men will be looking to taste success 

for the first time since 2000. 

The men’s tournament will 

take place at Clearwater from 

November 26 to December 1. 

The women’s tournament is 

being held at Waitikiri from 

December 3 to 8.



Bulls to clash 

with Warriors 

feeder team at 

Nga Puna Wai 

CANTERBURY RUGBY 

League will christen its new 

facilities at Nga Puna Wai 

on February 23 with a match 

between the Canterbury Bulls 

and the Warriors’ InTrust Super 

Premiership team. 

The Bulls’ clash is part of a 

bumper early-2019 schedule. As 

well as the annual Crosbie and 

Rolleston Nines tournaments, the 

region will also host the Manly- 

Warriors NRL match on March 

30 prior to the CRL club competitions 

kicking off. 

“It’s something that’s been in 

the pipeline for a while, before my 

time,” CRL chief executive Duane 

Fyfe said. 

“It is a coup, though the timing 

means the facility won’t be 

completely finished, so that will 

restrict the numbers we can have 

at the match. 

“But we’re very happy with the 

amount of people we’ll be able to 

get into the grounds – 2500-3000 

people is the capacity until the 

grandstand is finished.” 

The move to Nga Puna Wai 

rates among the most significant 

developments for Canterbury 

Rugby League in recent years. 

“We know from our history 

at Rugby League Park that we 

cherish having a spiritual home, 

and we hope Nga Puna Wai will 

provide that for us again with a 

buy-in from everybody.

UC stars in Crusaders 

• By Gordon Findlater 

IT’S A case of coming through 

the system for the new faces in 

the Crusaders 38-man squad 

which was named at Rugby Park 

yesterday for the 2019 Super 

Rugby season. 

New Crusaders signings Ngane 

Punivai, Leicester Faingaanuku 

and Harry Allen have all been on 

the Crusaders radar since their 

time at secondary school playing 

in the UC Championship - having 

all previously played for the 

Crusaders under-18 team. 

Faingaanuku, 18, has been 

part of the Crusaders academy 

since 15 when he was a year-11 

student at Nelson College. 

“I was fortunate enough last 

year to come in and experience 

the environment with the Crusaders. 

To get the phone call this 

year and be told I was going to 

be part of the Crusaders family 

was a dream come true,” said 

Faingaanuku. 

The winger was unable to 

feature much for Tasman in 

the Mitre 10 Cup due to injury. 

However, the Crusaders coaching 

staff has big wraps on him. 

His fellow Crusaders and Tasman 

teammate Will Jordan has 

also believed Faingaanuku was 

destined for big things when 

we first came up against him at 

secondary school level. 

“He was a big boy back then 

and I think he probably ran over 

me a few times. I know he’ll have 

a really great year,” said Jordan. 

YOUNGSTER: Leicester Faingaanuku is a player Scott 

Robertson hopes can fill the void left by powerful winger Seta 

Tamanivalu. 

Christ’s College product 

Punivai is another exciting 

young back to make the step up 

to Super Rugby for the first time. 

The 20-year-old admitted to not 

being able to hold back the tears 

when he received the news he 

had made the squad. He was also 

quick to point out one person in 

particular who had helped him 

get to this stage of his career. 

“My dad,” said Punivai. 

“He’s been there right from 

the younger grades. Home or 

away games he will always be 

there and give me his two cents. 

Sometime’s I’ll take it on board, 

but he’s been my rock and always 

supported me.” 

Former St Andrew’s College 

prop Allen has also came 

through the Crusaders’ system 

from secondary school. The 

21-year-old is excited to come

be working alongside the likes 

of All Blacks Joe Moody, Owen 

Franks and Tim Perry. 

“I’m a sponge just trying to 

soak up as much as I can. It’s 

amazing the wealth, knowledge 

and professionalism of the players 

that I can tap on the shoulder 

and ask for it,” said Allen. 

Although having both made 

Crusaders appearances in the 

past Brett Cameron and Whetu 

Douglas completed the list of 

players to have been announced 

in the squad for the first time. 

Make the punishment fit the crime 

IT ONLY seems like yesterday 

when Australian cricket was 

thrown into turmoil due to the 

ball tampering incident in South 

Africa in March which saw 

Cameron Bancroft rub sandpaper 

on the match ball to try and create 

an unfair advantage for his side. 

Since then Bancroft was given 

a ninemonth ban while Australian 

captain Steve Smith and 

David Warner were handed what 

still to me feel like slap on the 

wrist 12-month bans. However, 

after a recent scathing independent 

review of Cricket Australia, 

there have been calls to reduce 

the bans on Smith and Warner, 

and instead heap a larger share 

of the responsibility for the incident 

onto the organisation itself. 

Are we forgetting the fact 

these guys planned and executed 

an operation where sandpaper 

was concealed and bought onto 

the field of play to alter the ball. 

When it comes to creating 

an unfair advantage which will 

cause the ball to generate extra 

swing through the air is surely 

about as high on the spectrum 

as you can go, so why didn’t the 

bans reflect this? 

Let’s look at some of cricket’s 

other famous bans over the years 

to give a bit of perspective. 

In 2003 Shane Warne was 

given a 12-month ban from the 

Australian Cricket Board for using 

a banned drug Moduretic – a 

fluid-reduction tablet – which 

even the committee who handed 

One-eyed Cantab 


gordon.findlater@starmedia.kiwi 

him the ban accepted would not 

have enhanced Warne’s performance. 

In 2010 Pakistan pace bowler 

Mohammad Amir bowled three 

no-balls in a test against England 

in a spot-fixing scandal which 

saw him banned for five years. 

When it comes to match-fixing 

a staunch stance has been taken 

by international cricket and 

countless former players. 

We saw this unfold for Lou 

Vincent who was given a life ban 

in 2014 for purposely underperforming 

for money. Yes, what 

he did got what at the time felt 

like the right treatment. None of 

this happened at the game’s elite 

level and mostly in a rebel league 

in Pakistan. 

His case also has somewhat 

of a “don’t worry everyone is 

doing it” when it came to why he 

chose the actions he did – much 

like the Tour de France doping 

scandals. We seem to be obsessed 

when it comes to bans on 

anything we feel like we know is 

widely happening but struggle to 

prove. It seems we’re obliged to 

hand out the maximum 

penalty to send a message. 

Is that the right approach to 

have when Bancroft, Smith and 

Warner got a slap on the wrist? 

For me in cricket, the impact 

of bowling a handful of no balls 

in a test match or a player being 

on a performance enhancing 

drug v using sandpaper to generate 

swing throughout an entire 

match aren’t even in the same 

league when it comes to the outcome 

they will have on a match, 

so why don’t we have the same 

approach when it comes to their 

punishments.

Licensed Agent REAA 2008 

When you’re selling a property you get to 

decide how the open home process is run. If you’re 

working with a real estate agent, this is will be 

part of the marketing plan that you agree upon 

with them before you sign the agency agreement. 

The real estate agent will advise you on the 

timing and frequency of open homes, or any other 

viewings. If there is anything you are uncertain 

about, talk to the agent and make your feelings 

clear. There’s no law that you have to have open 

homes – you may decide that you’d rather have 

viewings by appointment only. 

“Bear in mind though that in order to sell 

your home, people will have to see it,” says Kevin 

Lampen-Smith, chief executive of the Real Estate 

Authority (REA). “You may have to be flexible 

on when viewings are held, even if they are not 

particularly convenient.” 

When it comes to the marketing and selling 

process of your home it’s a good idea to look at 

things from the perspective of the real estate 

agent and any prospective purchaser, Lampen- 

Smith says. 

“Open homes often attract people who are just 

browsing to see what’s around, or neighbours who 

have always wanted to see what ‘that house at 

number 10’ is like. The agent will report back to 

you after the open home to let you know the level of 

interest – if they have kept an electronic or paper 

record of visitors it will give you an indication of 

how many visitors were sticky beaks from down the 

street.” 

In an ideal world, people will treat your home 

with respect when viewing it, he says. 

“If you suspect they will need reminding, 

request that the agent asks visitors to remove 

any wet weather gear or shoes before entering.

What you need to know about Open 

Homes when you’re selling a property 

Most people go on a major cleaning, tidying and 

de-cluttering mission before putting a property 

on the market, which will make it much easier to 

prepare it for an open home. It’s a good idea to 

clear away any valuables or personal items (if time 

is short, dump them all in a washing basket that 

you can pick up and take with you) and use your 

own common sense about what you want strangers 

to see.” 

Don’t shove things into cupboards or wardrobes 

– prospective buyers will be keen to gauge storage 

capacity. Remember that families with small 

children could be going through your property and 

delicate ornaments or family heirlooms might be 

better out of harm’s way. 

Selling a property can be a stressful time, but 

you’ll make it much easier on yourself if you work 

out a plan of attack, including getting the advice 

of professionals along the way, Lampen-Smith 

says. 

“Present your home well and it’s more likely to 

attract another set of owners.”
