THE FAMILY of the 37-year-old<br />
who died after a charity boxing<br />
match says the support for them<br />
has been humbling.<br />
Yesterday, Kain Parsons’ life<br />
support was turned off.<br />
Mr Parsons, a project manager<br />
for Versatile Garages, was<br />
knocked unconscious in his bout<br />
at the Fight for Christchurch at<br />
Horncastle Arena. He was not<br />
wearing protective head gear.<br />
He never regained consciousness.<br />
A Givealittle page set up to<br />
support his wife, Alana and their<br />
three children, had raised more<br />
than $30,000 by yesterday.<br />
Mr Parsons’ family said in a<br />
statement yesterday that<br />
he succumbed to his brain<br />
injury.<br />
“We wish to acknowledge and<br />
thank the amazing team in the<br />
ICU ward at Christchurch Hospital,<br />
the paramedics at the event,<br />
along with the many doctors,<br />
nurses and medical professionals<br />
who left their tables to quickly<br />
come to Kain’s aid.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> outpouring of heartfelt<br />
support from family, friends,<br />
colleagues and the public has<br />
been humbling and very much<br />
appreciated.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> family said Mr Parsons<br />
gave his life in the pursuit of<br />
raising money for those less<br />
fortunate. He was fighting to<br />
raise money for Conductive<br />
Education.<br />
“His enormous heart, selfless<br />
attitude and gentle giant nature<br />
will leave a void in the lives of so<br />
many.”<br />
His death will be referred to<br />
the Coroner.<br />
Event operator Callam Mitchell<br />
said everyone is devastated by Mr<br />
Parsons’ death.<br />

Investigation into electrocution continues<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
THE investigation continues<br />
into the death of 30-year-old<br />
electrician Tuainekore Uri-Ke.<br />
Mr Uri-Ke is believed to have<br />
been electrocuted on Friday<br />
at a commercial property on<br />
Victoria St.<br />
WorkSafe is investigating the<br />
incident.<br />
Armistice billboard saved<br />
Pulled from<br />
a rubbish<br />
burn-off in<br />
the 1940s<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
WHEN RETIRED wool<br />
merchant Keith Whitfield was at<br />
a rubbish burn-off in the 1940s,<br />
he saw a distinct piece of paper.<br />
It was a billboard for <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong>,<br />
announcing the Armistice on<br />
<strong>November</strong> 12, 1918 (NZ time),<br />
which marked the end of World<br />
War 1.<br />
Mr Whitfield, 88, asked the<br />
owner of the billboard if he could<br />
keep it.<br />
“He was just going to throw it<br />
into the fire and I said ‘hey, I’ll<br />
have that’,” he said.<br />
“I thought it might be worth<br />
hanging onto, not knowing I<br />
would be here a 100 years from<br />
the date of it.”<br />
Mr Whitfield, who lives in<br />
Fendalton, framed it and loaned<br />
it to the Papanui RSA about 20<br />
years ago, where it is still on<br />
display.<br />
His father Alex and his two<br />
uncles, Harold and Herb, all<br />
served in WW1. <strong>The</strong> three<br />
Whitfield brothers all survived<br />
the war. <strong>The</strong>y served in France<br />
and Egypt.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y were very lucky. [My<br />
father] was gassed, and coughed<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> understands<br />
the investigation will<br />
look into electrical<br />
safeguards at the site<br />
where Mr Uri-Ke died,<br />
which are meant to<br />
prevent electrocutions<br />
when there is a problem<br />
by switching off all<br />
power to the building.<br />
A funeral was held for Mr<br />
his whole life,” he said.<br />
Mr Whitfield never got the<br />
chance to show the poster to<br />
his father but it served as a<br />
reminder of his contribution to<br />
the country.<br />
“Because my father fought in<br />
the war, it’s a memoir of him<br />
when I come to the RSA,” he<br />
said.<br />
Mr Whitfield said the RSA<br />
was the best place to keep the<br />
poster and does not intend to<br />
sell it for profit. He has read <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>Star</strong> his whole life. “It’s my sole<br />
source of news, I enjoy it because<br />
everything is local.”<br />

Lane changes<br />
for Main<br />
South Rd<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
MOTORISTS TRAVELLING on<br />
Main South and Springs Rds will<br />
see some changes this week.<br />
All traffic on Main South Rd<br />
was switched to the newly-laid<br />
northbound lanes between<br />
Hoskyns and Robinsons Rd yesterday.<br />
New Zealand Transport Agency<br />
said the changes were done in<br />
stages, city bound traffic first, followed<br />
by southbound traffic.<br />
Meanwhile, motorists on<br />
Springs Rd, near the Halswell<br />
Junction Rd roundabout will have<br />
to use a temporary diversion road.<br />
A U-turn facility has been built<br />
to maintain access to businesses in<br />
the area.<br />
NZTA previously announced<br />
that a lane switch on Main South<br />
Rd would be done in August but<br />
that was delayed due to additional<br />
work.<br />
Contractors built the final<br />
pavement under bridges, which removed<br />
the need for an additional<br />
traffic switch in the future, NZTA<br />
said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> changes are part of the<br />
ongoing construction of the $195<br />
million Christchurch Southern<br />
Motorway stage two.<br />
Tributes flow for charity boxer<br />
•From page 1<br />
“On behalf of the entire Fight<br />
for Christchurch community, we<br />
extend our sincere condolences<br />
to Kain’s family, friends and<br />
workmates. Our thoughts are<br />
naturally also with Kain’s opponent<br />
during this incredibly<br />
difficult time.”<br />
Mr Mitchell said he has spoken<br />
to Mr Parsons’ opponent,<br />
former Canterbury and Tasman<br />
Makos half-back Steve Alfeld<br />
and his coach.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y’re completely traumatised.”<br />
New Zealand Professional<br />
Boxing Association president<br />
Pat Leonard said “everyone is in<br />
shock.”<br />
“We are very, very sorry to<br />
hear about it and we send our<br />
utmost condolences to Kain’s<br />
family.”<br />
“This is the first incident in<br />
our national association’s history<br />
where a fighter has suffered a<br />
critical injury in the ring.<br />
But he said the association did<br />
not find fault with the processes<br />
that Fight for Christchurch follows.<br />
Emergency services were<br />
called to the event shortly after<br />
11pm and Mr Parsons was taken<br />
to hospital in a critical condition.<br />
Not wearing headgear was optional<br />
in line with New Zealand<br />
Professional Boxing Association<br />
policy.<br />
<strong>The</strong> incident prompted calls<br />
for changes in the boxing community<br />
and a review is under<br />
way into the fight.<br />
Long-time friend of Mr Parsons,<br />
Darren Jenkinson, who set<br />
up the Givealittle page, said on<br />
Tuesday friends and family had<br />
been at his bedside throughout.<br />
“He’s a great friend and is always<br />
the first person there when<br />
anyone needs help.”<br />
However, he declined to speak<br />
to <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> yesterday out of respect<br />
for Mr Parsons’ family.<br />

the Sumner Sharks social<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Another big Port Hills fire looms<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
ANOTHER MAJOR fire on the<br />
Port Hills will happen.<br />
That’s the stark warning from<br />
an agricultural expert who says<br />
the vegetation on the hills is a<br />
powder keg.<br />
Lincoln University’s Derrick<br />
Moot said active management of<br />
the area was needed to prevent<br />
future events like the Port Hills<br />
fires, which burned for 66 days<br />
last year. Helicopter pilot Steve<br />
Askin crashed and died while<br />
fighting the blaze.<br />
Two separate<br />
fires on Early<br />
Valley Rd and<br />
Marleys Hill<br />
combined to<br />
one, destroying<br />
nine houses and<br />
significantly<br />
Derrick Moot<br />
damaging two.<br />
An investigation<br />
concluded<br />
that both fires were possibly deliberately<br />
lit, though it was listed<br />
as undetermined.<br />
But Dr Moot said in his opinion,<br />
the fire could have easily<br />
spread further and taken out<br />
more homes.<br />
“We’re very fortunate we didn’t<br />
get a southerly. It went from a<br />
nor’west to a nor’east, but could<br />
have quite easily blown down to a<br />
lot more housing,” he said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y were devastating enough<br />
as it was for the people involved<br />
and we lost someone. But this<br />
was a warning that we need to<br />
have active management of the<br />
peripheral area.”<br />
Dr Moot said simple things such<br />
as maintaining grass growth and<br />
grazing would significantly reduce<br />
the likelihood of another fire.<br />
“We need someone to take responsibility<br />
of the area, whether<br />
that be the Christchurch City<br />
Council, Selwyn District Council<br />
or Environment Canterbury.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re needs to be guidelines for<br />
land owners.”<br />
Dr Moot said if NIWA’s prediction<br />
for a hot, dry <strong>November</strong><br />
came through the grass and<br />
weather in the wider Port Hills<br />
area would be in an identical<br />
state as they were before the fires.<br />
He said the effects of climate<br />
change also have an impact.<br />
Rural firefighter Richard<br />
McNamara, who led the aerial<br />
assault on the fire said there was<br />
always the potential for another<br />
disaster given the “fuels” that<br />
were up on the Port Hills.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re’s always been fires up<br />
DANGER: Ken and Denise McKenzie were lucky their home<br />
was spared in the Port Hills fire of 2017.<br />
there but the issue is that our<br />
urban dwellings are pushing further<br />
up and also climate change.<br />
We’re going to start having hotter,<br />
drier summers,” he said.<br />
Mr McNamara said it was up<br />
to those who live in the area to<br />
understand the risk as he said<br />
management would be hard to<br />
enforce.<br />
Fire and Emergency New<br />
Zealand manager rural fire Tim<br />
Mitchell said there was not a one<br />
size fits all solution.<br />
“It’s not an easy problem to<br />
resolve. You’ve got to think of the<br />
context of each landowner,” he<br />
said.<br />
Mr Mitchell said if landowners<br />
needed help the councils, FENZ<br />
and other organisations would<br />
help.<br />
In the wake of the fires, FENZ<br />
went through an operational review.<br />
Urban and rural firefighters<br />
are working together in training,<br />
as well as working with the<br />
community to spread prevention<br />
awareness.<br />
Environment Canterbury<br />

Banks Peninsula zone manager<br />
Steve Firth said it was working<br />
to offer support and advice to<br />
landowners on the hills.<br />

Cars still rule the city commute<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
LESS THAN half of residents<br />
find travelling by car easy in the<br />
city and are happy with the state<br />
of roads and foothpaths.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Life is Christchurch Transport<br />
Survey shows 45 per cent of<br />
people find travelling by car easy<br />
in the city, which is an 11 per<br />
cent improvement on last year.<br />
While 43 per<br />
cent are happy<br />
with the roads<br />
and about 33<br />
per cent are<br />
happy with the<br />
footpaths.<br />
<strong>The</strong> survey –<br />
Karleen<br />
Edwards<br />
commissioned<br />
by city council<br />
– sought 3000<br />
views on the ease of travelling<br />
around the city, safety, and the<br />
modes used.<br />
Seventeen per cent use their<br />
car less than 12 months ago, 14<br />
per cent are more likely to cycle<br />
and 16 per cent are more likely<br />
to walk.<br />
Public transport use is also up,<br />
with 11 per cent saying they use<br />
the bus more often than a year<br />
ago.<br />
Cyclists have reported a significant<br />
improvement, with 63 per<br />
cent saying it is easy to travel by<br />
bike, up nine per cent on 2017.<br />
A third feel safe when cycling, up<br />
11 per cent on the previous year.<br />
More people feel safer on public<br />
transport and while waiting<br />
for a bus. Pedestrians are also<br />
happier, with 74 per cent feeling<br />
safe, up five per cent on 2017.<br />
Walking tops the satisfaction<br />
poll, with 76 per cent finding that<br />
easy in the city and about half<br />
feeling safe.<br />
About a third are satisfied with<br />
the city’s footpaths and pedestrian<br />
areas.<br />
However, about 60 per cent of<br />
respondents are unhappy with<br />
Christchurch’s roads, citing<br />
potholes, surface problems and<br />
ongoing patch repairs.<br />
In general, while cars still rule<br />
the road, people are finding it<br />
easier to use other transport<br />
modes.<br />
City council chief executive<br />
Karleen Edwards said the survey<br />
shows residents’ views on transport<br />
are changing, with more<br />
people open to public transport,<br />
cycling, walking and sharing<br />
urban space.<br />
She said the results are encouraging<br />
because they show<br />
that people are starting to see the<br />
benefits of the transport changes<br />
that have been made.<br />
But there were challenges with<br />
the condition of some of roads,<br />
Dr Edwards added.<br />
GETTING AROUND:<br />
While cars are still the<br />
preferred mode of<br />
transport, more people<br />
are using buses, cycling<br />
and walking around the<br />
city.<br />

Pascoe signs up to get Megan to Paris<br />
Cancer sufferer Megan Hore is getting closer to<br />
ticking off another Disneyland from her bucket list.<br />
Meanwhile, artist Rangi Downes who has helped<br />
Megan raise money, has been reunited with a family<br />
he hasn’t seen in 65 years. Julia Evans reports<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
MEGAN HORE is one step<br />
closer to ticking Disneyland Paris<br />
off her bucket list as the country’s<br />
most successful Paralympian<br />
Sophie Pascoe has supported the<br />
cause.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 18-year-old daughter of<br />
blind organist Richard Hore had<br />
been battling bone cancer for<br />
about a year and set herself the<br />
goal of going to every Disneyland<br />
around the world.<br />
To help her fundraising efforts,<br />
artist Rangi Downes painted four<br />
paintings of Mickey Mouse and<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> has organised them to<br />
be signed.<br />
Megan (left) said it was “absolutely<br />
amazing” that Pascoe,<br />
joined All Black great Richie<br />
McCaw and world champion<br />
shot-putter Tom Walsh in signing<br />
the paintings.<br />
<strong>The</strong> paintings will be auctioned<br />
off on Trade Me from next week<br />
and money put towards the<br />
Hore’s trip to Paris.<br />
“I’m not one of those people<br />
who puts myself out there a lot<br />
and yet people like this are coming<br />
out to help me,” Megan said.<br />
But she will be back in hospital<br />
every three months for the next<br />
five years to test for cancer cells.<br />
If cancer is found, her diagnosis<br />
will become terminal.<br />

to keep her own sporting dreams<br />
alive.<br />
“I’m a rock-climber and a dancer.<br />

do those things,” she said.<br />
If she gets the all clear, Megan<br />

<strong>The</strong> family has tentatively set a<br />
plan to go over to Europe in April.<br />
“That’s when mum’s on holiday<br />
and I’m on holiday. We just need<br />
to get clearance from the hospital<br />
to go for that long,” Megan said.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y plan to spend almost a<br />
month in the Northern Hemisphere.<br />
As well as Paris, they will<br />
travel around the United Kingdom.<br />
But what Megan is most looking<br />

Artist reunites with ‘family’<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
IT’S BEEN 65 years since artist<br />
Rangi Downes has heard from<br />
the family that took him under<br />
their wing when he was 12.<br />
But after an article about<br />
him creating Mickey Mouse<br />
paintings to help support cancer<br />
sufferer Megan Hore in <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong>,<br />
the 77-year-old was reunited<br />
with the daughters of Kathleen<br />
Higgs, who helped him when his<br />
adopted family fell ill.<br />
Downes said he got a phone<br />
call out of the blue.<br />
“She said do you still have the<br />
little red bike that you used to<br />
ride to the pictures,” he said.<br />
“I said who is this but she<br />
wouldn’t tell me, she said you<br />
have to guess.”<br />
Downes said he worked out<br />
it could only be one of the<br />
daughters of Mrs Higgs, Gloria<br />
Dawson.<br />
While he had never lived<br />
with Mrs Higgs and her six children,<br />
he said he was there most<br />
days helping her out for three<br />
years.<br />
Downes’ adopted parents and<br />
brother all fell ill when he was<br />
11 and 12. His mother died of<br />
stomach cancer, while his father<br />
“dropped dead” on the way out<br />
of a medical examination, which<br />
he’d passed with flying colours.<br />
After that it was Mrs Higgs<br />
who filled the gap.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re were so many time<br />
were Mrs Higgs spoke to me<br />
about life in general. She was a<br />
good woman. No one ever went<br />
hungry,” he said.<br />
But after three years with the<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
High density housing not for everyone<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
LONG-TERM residents in the<br />
central city are worried about the<br />
impact the huge influx of high<br />
density apartments is having on<br />
the community.<br />
THeir lack of parking, size<br />
and the short-term renters they<br />
attract are worrying central city<br />
neighbourhood groups.<br />
Moa<br />
Neighbourhood<br />
Group chairman<br />
Barry Brooker<br />
said the number<br />
high density<br />
apartments is<br />
“symptomatic”<br />
Barry<br />
Brooker<br />
of a bigger issue.<br />
“Developers<br />
are getting on<br />
and doing something, it’s just<br />
the working code is pushing a<br />
certain type of housing.”<br />
THose houses lacked parking<br />
and appealed largely to short<br />
term renters or investors who<br />
used them for online listings.<br />
Dr Brooker said it was the mix<br />
of different housing that appealed<br />
for both short and long-term<br />
residents.<br />
Chester Street East<br />
Community member Simone<br />
Rewa Pearson said the main<br />
question was whether the mix<br />
HOUSING: High density developments like those of Williams Corporation are concerning<br />
long-term residents in the central city.<br />
of housing stock was meeting<br />
needs.<br />
“People say they want to have<br />
a mix of housing stock in central<br />
city to bring in a wide variety of<br />
people and living arrangements<br />
including singles, professionals,<br />
families and seniors. But what<br />
seems to be being built is just<br />
one kind housing – high density<br />
apartments,” she said.<br />
“Is this what we want? And<br />
who is buying the apartments<br />
and for what purpose? Owner<br />
occupiers or investors?”<br />
Victoria Neighbourhood<br />
Association co-ordinator<br />
Marjorie Manthei said a lot of<br />
new developments were not being<br />
lived in by the owner at all.<br />
“THere are small sections that<br />
end up without a neighbourhood.<br />
It’s a domino effect. You have<br />
no neighbours and no one is<br />
committed to the area,” she said.<br />
However, Williams<br />
Corporation managing director<br />
Matthew Horncastle, which is<br />
developing houses in the central<br />
city, dismissed the concerns.<br />
“Imagine being in New York<br />
and someone says we don’t want<br />
a high-rise there. We’re trying to<br />
build a city.”<br />
He said it was “silly” and only a<br />
few people had an issue.<br />
“Meanwhile, I’ve got 20 people<br />
a day ringing, trying to buy<br />
houses in the central city.”<br />
Central Ward city councillor<br />
Deon Swiggs said it needed to be<br />
investigated.<br />
“We need to look at what the<br />
wider effects of the developments<br />
are and if there are any<br />
unintended consequences to<br />
that,” he said.<br />
“It’s about problem<br />
identification. If there’s a<br />
problem, we’ll look at solutions.<br />
That could be from a District<br />
Plan angle or it could be<br />
something else.”<br />
But he was happy with the<br />
amount of new builds.<br />
“We are not going to send<br />
the wrong message to developers.<br />
Its about how we do this<br />
together.”<br />
A city council staff report,<br />
which went to the regulatory<br />
performance committee meeting<br />
yesterday said changes to the<br />
District Plan might be used to<br />
manage potential negative effects<br />
from sites like Airbnb.<br />
“THe District Plan rules may<br />
be encouraging the development<br />
of a typology of housing in<br />
the central city that does not<br />
promote positive inner city living<br />
outcomes over the long-term and<br />
could discourage new residents<br />
from moving to the inner city,”<br />
it said.<br />
“We need to find out what the<br />
issues are, what solutions could<br />
be and then we need to work out<br />
how we enforce that,” Cr Swiggs<br />
said.<br />
“THere are things like fire<br />
regulations, putting the bins<br />
out. All commercial properties<br />
are changed for water. <strong>The</strong>re’s<br />
a lot of things that need to be<br />
considered.”<br />
But before any changes to<br />
the plan are made, a business<br />
rate could be applied from<br />
July 1 on places where whole<br />
units are used as short-term<br />
accommodation for four or<br />
more months a year.<br />

Where fun, food and family<br />
feature high on the menu<br />
<strong>The</strong> Malis Khmer Thai Restaurant at 501<br />
Wairakei Road in Burnside is an exciting addition<br />
to the dining scene in Christchurch. <strong>The</strong>y offer an<br />
authentic Southeast-Asian culinary experience<br />
and the highly-trained staff are happy to share<br />
their in-depth knowledge of Thai and Cambodian<br />
food and culture with customers. A year down the<br />
track since it opened, this vibrant, contemporary<br />
eatery is now well-established as the perfect<br />
fusion of delicious food and modern, relaxed<br />
dining. <strong>The</strong> restaurant takes its name from one of<br />
the national flowers of Cambodia, the highlyfragrant<br />
malis (Jasminium sambac). Owner Pic<br />
Thai named her restaurant<br />
after it in recognition of<br />
its beauty and cultural<br />
significance. <strong>The</strong> malis<br />
is woven into garlands<br />
to decorate homes and<br />
temples and as offerings<br />
to the Buddha.<br />
As you enter, you are<br />
greeted by a manager,<br />
sometimes Pic herself,<br />
who welcomes you and your party and makes you<br />
feel that you are very much part of the extended<br />
family. <strong>The</strong> atmosphere is bright, lively and very<br />
friendly; the décor is cheerful and combines a<br />
sense of Asia with very funky, metal bambooinspired<br />
screens, and a scrupulously-clean,<br />
minimalist feel. Overall, as soon as you take your<br />
seat, whether you are in a large group or with a<br />
small family, you feel relaxed and at home.<br />

currently the focus is exclusively Thai, Pic also<br />

Malis Khmer Thai is definitely the venue for<br />
celebrations – the chilled vibe, the efficient<br />
service, and the great food make it perfect for<br />
parties, and the large space is adaptable enough<br />

RIDING: Lime scooter-related ACC claims in Christchurch have soared since<br />
they were released last month.<br />
Huge jump in number<br />
of e-scooter injuries<br />
• By Ashleigh Monk<br />
LIME scooter-related<br />
injuries have skyrocketed<br />
since their first week on<br />
Christchurch roads, but<br />
that could change as New<br />
Zealand-specific app is set<br />
to be released.<br />
ACC recorded five Lime<br />
scooter-related injuries in<br />
the week after they hit the<br />
streets – that number is<br />
now 32.<br />
Fifty-seven claims have<br />
been recorded in Auckland,<br />
and less than four across<br />
the rest of New Zealand.<br />
At a city council meeting<br />
on Wednesday it was<br />
announced that an app<br />
would be available for<br />
download “in a few days”<br />
which would have clear<br />
rules and regulations for<br />
the e-scooters.<br />
In the first two weeks<br />
since their October 15<br />
launch, the city council<br />
reported more than 65,000<br />
Lime trips between more<br />
than 27,000 riders.<br />
THe average distance<br />
travelled was 1km, with<br />
the trip time at 10min and<br />
speed at 6km/h.<br />
THe number of e-scooter<br />
injuries compared to<br />
manual scooter injuries<br />
was vastly different, with<br />
61 in Christchurch and 171<br />
in Auckland since the Lime<br />
scooters were released.<br />
ACC senior injury<br />
prevention specialist<br />
Kirsten Malpas said that<br />
while the e-scooters offered<br />
a “great way” to get around,<br />
riders had to be careful of<br />
how they used them.<br />
Electric scooters are<br />
an innovative solution<br />
to modern commuting<br />
challenges and can provide<br />
a great way to make your<br />
commute active,” she said.<br />
“Wearing a helmet,<br />
limiting speed, keeping<br />
to road rules are standard<br />
mechanisms for keeping<br />
safe.”<br />
She advised riders who<br />
had accidents to make<br />
sure they sought medical<br />
attention.<br />
“If people take a knock<br />
to the head, it’s important<br />
that they recognise the<br />
symptoms of concussion<br />
and let a medical<br />
professional make an<br />
assessment and diagnosis.<br />
Late onset after an injury is<br />
common.”<br />
Senior Sergeant Ash Tabb<br />
could not be reached for<br />
comment, but previously<br />
said police were monitoring<br />
scooter use.<br />
“We’re just here to be<br />
an adviser in terms of<br />
the safety and use of the<br />
scooters, just to make sure<br />
they’re being used as safely<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
as possible,” he said.<br />
THe ride-sharing<br />
initiative was launched in<br />
California last year and has<br />
since spread to more than<br />
80 cities across the globe.<br />
Two e-scooter-related<br />
deaths have so far been<br />
recorded in the United<br />
States – one in Dallas<br />
where a man fell off a<br />
scooter and died from<br />
blunt force trauma to<br />
the head, and one in<br />
Washington DC where a<br />
man was pulled under a<br />
sport utility vehicle.<br />
In Christchurch and<br />
Auckland, users can ride<br />
on footpaths, roads and<br />
some cycle lanes without<br />
a helmet, travelling up to<br />
30km/h.<br />
Christchurch launched<br />
400 app-controlled<br />
scooters, with another 300<br />
expected to be deployed<br />
within a month.<br />
Lime paid the city<br />
council $136 for a threemonth<br />
mobile trading<br />
permit for the scooters,<br />
which would expire<br />
on January 15 and be<br />
reviewed.<br />
A New Zealand<br />
Transport Agency<br />
spokeswoman said a<br />
transport review to look<br />
into rules for electric<br />
scooter-riders was being<br />
planned.<br />

Councils invest in Te Reo Maori classes<br />
• By Anan Zaki<br />
COUNCILS IN Canterbury<br />
are spending thousands of<br />
dollars to teach their staff and<br />
elected representatives Te Reo<br />
Maori.<br />
Environment Canterbury<br />
lead the way with fortnightly<br />
classes running since March<br />
last year. <strong>The</strong> regional council<br />
spent $53,425 on Te Reo<br />
classes.<br />
Currently 127 staff and<br />
councillors are currently taking<br />
part in the programme, ECan<br />
said. 203 staff and councillors<br />
have taken part since the<br />
beginning<br />
Said an ECan spokeswoman:<br />
“Prior to 2017, the majority of<br />
staff and governance had little or<br />
no experience of Te Reo Maori,<br />
or understanding of matauranga<br />
Maori/Maori knowledge, and<br />
the value this brings to our<br />
work as kaitiaki/stewards of the<br />
environment.”<br />
Usage of Te Reo Maori is<br />
now “business as usual,” ECan<br />
said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city councill started<br />
providing Te Reo Maori lessons<br />
to staff and elected officials in<br />
‘A sense of belonging and pride’<br />
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community Board member<br />
Catherine Chu is part of the<br />
city council’s classes and is<br />
enjoying the experience.<br />
Ms Chu started learning Te<br />
Reo Maori last month.<br />
“I love it. <strong>The</strong> first session<br />
was really slow because everyone<br />
is at different levels,”<br />
she said.<br />
“I went in with the<br />
expectation to just learn<br />
the language itself but [we<br />
are learning] the history and culture,<br />
which I think is quite meaningful,” Ms<br />
Chu said.<br />
July last year. It has so far spent<br />
$26,981.<br />
Currently, 72 staff and elected<br />
officials are taking part in the<br />
programme.<br />
Since classes started last<br />
year, 250 staff and elected<br />
officials have previously<br />
participated.<br />
Lessons are undertaken by a<br />
qualified teacher and overseen<br />
by the council’s Ngai Tahu and<br />
Maori relationships team, a city<br />
council spokeswoman said.<br />
She said she wanted to learn Te<br />
Reo Maori because it was “our<br />
heritage.”<br />
“I think it will help us gain a<br />
sense of belonging and pride,”<br />
Ms Chu said.<br />
She can already speak four<br />
languages – English, Korean,<br />
Chinese and Japanese.<br />
“My parents are from<br />
South Korea, [at university]<br />
my major was<br />
Chinese and my minor<br />
was Japanese.”<br />
Ms Chu said she intends to keep<br />
learning Te Reo Maori until she<br />
becomes fluent.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>se courses assist staff<br />
and elected members to fulfil<br />
their obligations under the<br />
Local Government Act and<br />
other legislation in relation<br />
to Maori interaction and<br />
contribution to relationships<br />
and decision making<br />
processes.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council has<br />
received positive feedback<br />
from the participants, she<br />
said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Selwyn District Council is<br />
the latest to join the group, with<br />
classes starting in August.<br />
<strong>The</strong> district council has spent<br />
$5000 on the programme with 44<br />
staff and elected members in the<br />
programme.<br />
<strong>The</strong> district council has so<br />
far held 20 hours of classes and<br />
a council spokesman said the<br />
classes are “extremely<br />
valuable”.<br />

Big jump in number of police pursuits<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
<strong>The</strong> number of police<br />
pursuits in Canterbury<br />
has almost doubled<br />
in the past five years.<br />
Sophie Cornish talks to<br />
road policing manager<br />
Senior Sergeant Ash<br />
Tabb to find out why<br />
IN 2013, there were 167 fleeing<br />
driver incidents in Canterbury.<br />
Last year it jumped to 348.<br />
And for the first six months of<br />
this year there were 171.<br />
Since the beginning of 2015,<br />
28 people have died as a result<br />
of police chases in New Zealand<br />
and 154 people have been seriously<br />
injured.<br />
Since 2013 only one person has<br />
died in Canterbury metro area.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is no one reason why<br />
people may flee<br />
from police, as<br />
each incident<br />
is unique, says<br />
Senior Sergeant<br />
Ash Tabb.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re may be<br />
certain individuals<br />
who always<br />
Ash Tabb<br />
flee every time<br />
police stop them.<br />
If that person is out and about a<br />
lot in the roading network, then<br />
that can increase. <strong>The</strong>re can be<br />
various reasons, each one of<br />
them is unique.”<br />
In 60 per cent of fleeing driver<br />
events the driver is located, he<br />
said and the rest are unknown.<br />
While there is an increase in<br />
the events, Senior Sergeant Tabb<br />
said there is a bigger increase in<br />
police self-abandoning pursuits.<br />
“We actually choose to abandon<br />
more than we used to. <strong>The</strong>re<br />
is an oversight through the communications<br />
centre and other<br />
supervisors but we want staff to<br />
make the decision if they don’t<br />
feel its safe. Basically, if there<br />
is greater risk from continuing<br />
than the actual risk of following<br />
then we want them to stop.”<br />
A risk assessment tool is<br />
END OF THE ROAD: Police stopped this fleeing motorist in Cranford St in July after he had<br />
driven on the wrong side of the road, nearly hitting a cyclist. He continued to flee even<br />
after his tyres had been spiked and eventually when caught, had to be tasered by police.<br />
used, which looks at the threat<br />
including exposure to the public,<br />
threats to the driver and police<br />
staff and necessity.<br />
“We have to ask whether we<br />
have other means of locating the<br />
person,” Senior Sergeant Tabb<br />
said.<br />
“A lot of these are stolen cars<br />
and we don’t know what else is<br />
going on in the vehicle. A lot<br />
of times we will stop the car<br />
and there will be other offences<br />
SERIOUS PURSUITS<br />
•Last year, a car carrying<br />
five people crashed into a<br />
tree during a police pursuit<br />
in Auckland. A 25-year-old<br />
woman and a 29-year-old<br />
were killed.<br />
•In May, a teenager died in<br />
the boot of a car that was<br />
carrying six passengers in<br />
Wellington. <strong>The</strong> 15-year-old<br />
died after the car crashed,<br />
when the driver failed to<br />
stop for police. Also in May,<br />
a Bay of Plenty man died<br />
after trying to flee police<br />
and crashing into a tree.<br />
•In July, a police pursuit<br />
ended in a vehicle pile-up<br />
in St Albans in an attempt<br />
to stop a 37-year-old. A<br />
patrol car was used to block<br />
the vehicle, ending the<br />
pursuit. <strong>The</strong> car’s tyres were<br />
slashed and police had to<br />
taser the driver.<br />
•In August, a stolen vehicle<br />
was spiked in Yaldhurst<br />
after the driver failed to<br />
stop for police. <strong>The</strong> Toyota<br />
Hilux ended up overturning<br />
onto its roof.<br />
•In September, a teenager<br />
reached speeds of up to<br />
160km/h in an attempt to<br />
evade police. <strong>The</strong> pursuit<br />
ended shortly after the<br />
driver spun out of control<br />
and then ran out of petrol<br />
in Ohoka. Two passengers<br />
had been in the car.<br />
•Last month, two men<br />
were arrested after they<br />
crashed a stolen car into a<br />
cellphone tower control box<br />
following a police pursuit in<br />
Mairehau.<br />
BY THE NUMBERS:<br />
Fleeing driver incidents<br />
in the Canterbury<br />
metro area (south of the<br />
Waimakariri River to<br />
Governors Bay and west<br />
to Hornby)<br />
2014 – 198<br />
2015 – 269<br />
2016 – 269<br />
2017 – 348<br />
<strong>2018</strong> (until June) – 171<br />
Pursuits abandoned by<br />
police in the Canterbury<br />
metro area<br />
2014 – 102<br />
2015 190<br />
2016 – 187<br />
2017 – 242<br />
<strong>2018</strong> (until June) – 129<br />
detected. Ultimately, it’s that<br />
balance of protecting the public,<br />
which is obviously the number<br />
one thing.”<br />
How the pursuits start is also<br />
a mixed bag, it could begin from<br />
a routine traffic stop, where a<br />
driver could be suspected of<br />
drink driving or speeding and<br />
they choose not to stop.<br />
Other times a member of<br />
the public or police staff have<br />
reported someone driving erratically<br />
and police will attempt to<br />
stop them.<br />
“If it is a matter where we know<br />
who the driver is, it would be<br />
very rare for us to get involved<br />
in a pursuit event, unless the offending<br />
was very serious, because<br />
ultimately we would prefer to<br />
locate them out of the vehicle,<br />
rather than in a vehicle,” said<br />
Senior Sergeant Tabb.<br />
<strong>The</strong> most serious consequence<br />
for a fleeing driver is death or serious<br />
injury to either themselves,<br />
or others.<br />
Through the courts, charges<br />
can include licence disqualifications,<br />
vehicles being impounded<br />
and even imprisonment.<br />
Road spikes are deployed<br />
regularly in pursuits and can be<br />
an “effective tool” when used<br />
properly and in a controlled environment,<br />
Senior Sergeant Tabb<br />
said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re are constraints on<br />
them. You cannot use them<br />
for certain vehicle types and in<br />
certain locations. <strong>The</strong> staff have<br />
to make sure the public is safe if<br />
they are used, as the vehicle can<br />
lose some control. Every incident<br />
is really unique in terms of when<br />
you can deploy them.”<br />
His advice to people when they<br />
are signalled to stop by police is<br />
to pull over.<br />
“It’s not worth putting lives<br />
at risk. Regularly there are<br />
cases where a person fails to<br />
stop because they don’t have a<br />
licence or have demerit points,<br />
but nothing is worse the risk, it is<br />
highly unpredictable.<br />

Free bus travel cost<br />
more than $65,000<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
FREE TRAVEL on the buses for<br />
one day cost more than $65,000.<br />
<strong>The</strong> event on September<br />
22 saw a 60 per cent boost in<br />
passengers with an additional<br />
15,672 trips on the network.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> operational cost for<br />
making the buses free across<br />
was approximately $36,000.<br />
This is based on the average<br />
amount of revenue received for<br />
Saturdays in the same period last<br />
year,” Environment Canterbury<br />
chief operating officer Nadeine<br />
Dommisse said.<br />
It cost $29,464 to promote<br />
the campaign across Greater<br />
Christchurch and Timaru, she<br />
said.<br />
Ms Dommisse said the<br />
campaign was an “outstanding<br />
success.”<br />
“<strong>The</strong> free buses were provided<br />
as a way of starting a conversation<br />
about the future focus of<br />
plans for transport in the region<br />
and gave us the opportunity to<br />
reach a wide range of people.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> event coincided with the<br />
release of ECan’s Regional Public<br />
Transport Plan and was aimed<br />
at gathering feedback responses.<br />
<strong>The</strong> plan proposes a shake up<br />
of bus services around the city –<br />
TRANSPORT: Environment<br />
Canterbury is proposing a<br />
major shake-up of the city’s<br />
bus services.<br />
including four new core routes<br />
between Lyttelton and the airport,<br />
Lincoln to New Brighton,<br />
Wigram to Prestons and Belfast<br />
to Cashmere, a zero emission<br />
fleet by 2030 and a central city<br />
shuttle.<br />
As well as a rapid transport<br />
corridor from north to the<br />
south-west.<br />
Ms Dommisse said there were<br />
more than 700 submissions on<br />
the plan, which were currently<br />
being analysed before the plan<br />
would be finalised by ECan’s<br />
council.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council’s submission<br />
called for buses to be made<br />
carbon-free a lot sooner.<br />

New stadium turf<br />
to cost $1.5 million<br />
5 th to 11 th <strong>November</strong> <strong>2018</strong><br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
UPDATED: New turf will be installed at<br />
Christchurch Stadium before next season’s<br />
Super Rugby kicks off.<br />
NEW TURF at<br />
Christchurch Stadium will<br />
cost $1.5 million.<br />
Bulldozers started on the<br />
ground last week. <strong>The</strong> grass<br />
will be laid by January 25,<br />
just over a week before<br />
Phil Collins plays at the<br />
stadium on February 4.<br />
<strong>The</strong> first round of Super<br />
Rugby starts on February 15.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> current turf included<br />
an artificial turf product<br />
providing root stabilisation<br />
to the natural grass. That<br />
artificial turf product was<br />
not considered suitable to<br />
get the field through a further<br />
five years, which is the<br />
standard period between<br />
grass replacements on a<br />
stadia field,” a city council<br />
spokesperson said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>refore, with a grass<br />
replacement due this<br />
summer, the decision was<br />
made to replace not just<br />
the grass, but also the root<br />
stabilisation system.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> grass itself was last<br />
replaced in 2013.<br />
However, the root stabilisation<br />
system dates back to<br />
2006 and was used at Lancaster<br />
Park before being<br />
transferred to the current<br />
stadium after the February<br />
22, 2011, earthquake.<br />
“That particular root<br />
stabilisation system has<br />
a standard life of 10 to<br />
15 years, and given it has<br />
experienced the additional<br />
challenges of liquefaction<br />
in 2011 and the transfer between<br />
stadiums in 2012, it<br />
has lasted as long as could<br />
have been expected.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> new root stabilisation<br />
system is expected to<br />
last for a further 15 years,<br />
however, the grass will<br />
need to be replaced every<br />
five years.<br />
<strong>The</strong> spokesperson said it<br />
is “not likely” that the root<br />
stabilisation system will<br />
be transferred to the new<br />
multi-use arena when it is<br />
built in 2023.<br />

More power to community boards<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
COMMUNITY BOARDS may<br />
be able to make more decisions<br />
in their areas next year.<br />
City councillor Sara<br />
Templeton filed a notice of<br />
motion at last week’s council<br />
meeting, setting a timeframe of<br />
March to have the delegation to<br />
community boards changed.<br />
She said community boards<br />
need more power to make<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
THERE SHOULD not be any<br />
more unexpected revelations<br />
from the city council.<br />
It is working<br />
to develop a ‘no<br />
surprises’ policy<br />
for staff and elected<br />
members to make<br />
sure everyone is fully<br />
informed of issues<br />
and events.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> intention of<br />
a ‘no surprises’ approach<br />
is to ensure<br />
elected members and<br />
staff are able to provide<br />
residents with<br />
accurate, timely and relevant<br />
information on key issues or<br />
decisions such as changing the<br />
names of local parks or installing<br />
crossings outside of<br />
schools. <strong>The</strong>y would also<br />
be able to submit independently<br />
on things like<br />
applications to the district<br />
licensing committee and<br />
resource consents.<br />
Head of community<br />
support, governance and<br />
partnerships John Filsell<br />
said the city council made a<br />
significant events,” city council<br />
chief executive Karleen Edwards<br />
said.<br />
“In order to achieve this, staff<br />
and elected members undertake<br />
particular processes,<br />
such as verbal briefings,<br />
discussions and<br />
formal reports.”<br />
Dr Edwards said<br />
many of the processes<br />
were already in place.<br />
“However, the<br />
intention of the<br />
work under way is<br />
to make sure all staff<br />
are aware of these<br />
processes and that all<br />
relevant information<br />
is documented.”<br />
A draft version of the policy is<br />
resolution last July. “However,<br />
research and work on this<br />
topic extended back<br />
before this time. Our<br />
community support,<br />
partnerships and<br />
development staff have<br />
been working on this<br />
project since early 2016.”<br />
Cr Templeton said the<br />
project had been put on<br />
the “back burner” but<br />
had now become urgent.<br />
Sara<br />
Templeton<br />
‘No surprises’ plan for council<br />
Karleen Edwards<br />
not yet available, as staff are still<br />
working on it.<br />
Dr Edwards said no date has<br />
been set for its presentation<br />
to the city council or any<br />
committees.<br />
<strong>The</strong> policy’s development is<br />
not related to the chlorination<br />
of the city’s water or loss of its<br />
secure status, she said.<br />
“This is good practice in any<br />
organisation and is not related to<br />
any single event.”<br />
An independent review examining<br />
the events that led to the<br />
city’s water being chlorinated<br />
was released two weeks ago.<br />
It criticised the way city council<br />
staff did not inform top level<br />
management about issues over<br />
well heads.<br />
Get your name on<br />
the Walk of <strong>Star</strong>s<br />
EMULATING the legendary<br />
Hollywood Walk of Fame,<br />
Christchurch City Mission’s<br />
Walk of <strong>Star</strong>s is back again over<br />
the Christmas season along ‘<strong>The</strong><br />
Terrace’.<br />
With a focus on celebrating<br />
people who are making a<br />
difference at<br />
Christmas by<br />
supporting the<br />
mission, anyone<br />
can be part of<br />
the Walk of<br />
<strong>Star</strong>s on Oxford<br />
Tce between<br />
Hereford and<br />
Cashel Sts.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Walk of<br />
<strong>Star</strong>s will be<br />
in place from<br />
<strong>November</strong> 30<br />
to January 31 along what is sure<br />
to be one of the most popular<br />
summer spots in the city.<br />
With the river on one side and<br />
newly-developed restaurants<br />
along the other, it is a prime<br />
location for the Walk of <strong>Star</strong>s,<br />
which will continue to grow over<br />
the Christmas period.<br />
Last year, Grace, 9, and Lily, 7,<br />
were gifted a star by their mum.<br />
When asked why they liked<br />
being part of the Walk of <strong>Star</strong>s,<br />
the pair said “because our star<br />
can buy presents for kids who<br />
don’t have any.”<br />
Cayden, 4, and Mitchell, 6, also<br />
had their names on the walk.<br />
When asked the same question,<br />
they said “because the mission<br />
are Santa’s<br />
special helpers.”<br />
Over the<br />
Christmas<br />
period, the<br />
mission will<br />
see an increase<br />
in demand for<br />
support across<br />
every one of its<br />
services.<br />
<strong>The</strong> foodbank<br />
serves as a<br />
prime example<br />
of the need experienced across<br />
the organisation. <strong>The</strong> number<br />
of people using the foodbank<br />
enters triple figures at this time of<br />
year and help is needed to ensure<br />
everyone can have a happy<br />
Christmas.<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-<br />
Harding<br />
A CHOIR formed to bring joy<br />
to the city post-earthquakes has<br />
been scouted to perform at one<br />
of the most iconic music venues<br />
in the world.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Christchurch Pops Choir<br />
has been asked to perform at<br />
Carnegie Hall in New York City<br />
next year as<br />
part of the<br />
Distinguished<br />
Concert<br />
International<br />
New York<br />
March 2019<br />
season.<br />
Forty singers<br />
from the<br />
Deke Sharon<br />
choir will be<br />
singing at<br />
Total Vocal with Deke Sharon a<br />
concert which features singers<br />
from all over the world and celebrates<br />
contemporary a cappella.<br />
It will be led by American<br />
singer and arranger Deke Sharon<br />
and features celebrity guests to<br />
be later announced from the film<br />
Pitch Perfect and a cappella television<br />
programme <strong>The</strong> Sing-Off.<br />
Artistic director Matt<br />
Everingham said it is such<br />
a thrill for the choir to be<br />
representing the city and New<br />
Zealand in choral music in a new<br />
and exciting way.<br />
<strong>The</strong> choir will do a 10-day tour<br />
– first stopping at Washington,<br />
DC to perform at the<br />
George Washington Masonic<br />
National Memorial venue with<br />
champion barbershop chorus Alexandria<br />
Harmonizers and pop<br />
chorus <strong>The</strong> Alexandria Singers. <br />
It will then travel to New York<br />
for the concert at Carnegie Hall<br />
on March 24.<br />
While overseas, it has prepared<br />
a repertoire of New Zealand<br />
songs to perform including<br />
traditional Maori waiata, Dave<br />
Dobbyn, Lorde and Crowded<br />
House arrangements.<br />
<strong>The</strong> choir<br />
was scouted<br />
online by<br />
concert production<br />
company<br />

Everingham<br />
New York.<br />
“It was<br />
amazing they<br />
just approached us which was a<br />
real honour really,” Everingham<br />
said.<br />
Located in the heart of<br />
Manhattan, Carnegie Hall is one<br />
of the most prestigious concert<br />
venues in the world for classical<br />
and modern music.<br />
It first opened its doors<br />
in 1891 with a concert<br />
featuring Russian composer<br />
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.<br />
Some of the world’s most wellknown<br />
artists have performed<br />
at the hall including <strong>The</strong> Beatles,<br />
Billie Holiday, Judy Garland and<br />
Bob Dylan and <strong>The</strong> Band.<br />
<strong>The</strong> pops choir was formed<br />
in 2011 by Luke Di Somma and<br />
performs a wide range of genres<br />
including pop, rock, jazz and<br />
musical theatre.<br />

match against the French Barbarians earlier this year.<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
PRESTIGIOUS: <strong>The</strong> choir will perform<br />
at New York’s iconic Carnegie Hall.<br />
It has performed at a<br />
Crusaders match and last year<br />
travelled to China to sing at<br />
the 21st Century Maritime Silk<br />
Road Choir Festival. <strong>The</strong> choir is<br />
also rebranding its name to <strong>The</strong><br />
Vocal Collective to head towards<br />
a more modern approach<br />
to singing and attract wider<br />
audiences.<br />
Everingham said the trip<br />
to New York will encourage<br />
the choir to raise the stakes<br />
and perform music at a higher<br />
standard.<br />

Lucky petrel released at Godley Head<br />
• By Matt Salmons<br />
A NORTHERN giant petrel<br />
rescued on Sumner Beach last<br />
week was released at Godley<br />
Head on Sunday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> aggressive scavengers,<br />
also known<br />
as stinkpots,<br />
pāngurunguru<br />
or sea vultures,<br />
spend most of<br />
their lives at sea.<br />
Normally they<br />
come ashore at<br />
Annabel<br />
Black<br />
the Auckland,<br />
Campbell,<br />
Antipodes<br />
and Chatham<br />
islands to breed.<br />
Sumner’s Annabel Black, who<br />
found the “beautiful bird”, said<br />
it was great to hear it had been<br />
PHOTO: ANNABEL BLACK<br />
released.<br />
“First of all, it’s cool it wasn’t<br />
hurt by another animal and that<br />
it’s been released.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> petrel refused to leave<br />
during an earlier attempt to<br />
release it on October 31.<br />
South Island Wildlife Hospital<br />
volunteer Karen Talbot said she<br />
and a vet had tried to release the<br />
bird above Lyttelton Harbour.<br />
“We went to let it go . . . he<br />
ran down the hill and then just<br />
sat.”<br />
Ms Talbot said the vet then<br />
had to climb down and retrieve<br />
the 5kg bird.<br />
Wildlife hospital volunteers<br />
spent the next four days feeding<br />
fish to the bird and allowing it<br />
rest as it had suspected minor<br />
bruising on its leg.<br />
Ms Talbot said high winds<br />
may have blown the young bird<br />
off course, causing it to crash<br />
land in Sumner.<br />
In spite of the wind on Sunday,<br />
she said the release was a success.<br />
“He just sat and smelt the wind.<br />
But when we came back he was<br />
gone.”<br />
Ms Black said she was walking<br />
with a friend when they spotted<br />
the bird near the Sumner Surf<br />
Life Saving Club.<br />
“It looked like it had a sore<br />
leg. I actually thought it was an<br />
albatross at first . . . it was so big.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> two women got a barrier<br />
from a nearby construction site<br />
to shield the distressed bird from<br />
dogs and other predators.<br />
RESCUED: This northern<br />
giant petrel was rescued at<br />
Sumner Beach last week<br />
and nursed back to health by<br />
South Island Wildlife Hospital<br />
volunteers.<br />

Lilian’s one of life’s true champs<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Parklands teenager Lilian Exton is one of about 30 people<br />
worldwide who suffer from otospondylomegaepiphyseal<br />
dysplasia, also known as OSMED. Sophie Cornish talks to<br />
Lilian about the barriers she has overcome and her recent<br />
sporting success<br />
EVERYDAY TASKS such as<br />
putting on socks and shoes are<br />
difficult for Lilian Exton.<br />
But she has never let that stop<br />
her from achieving as much as<br />
she possibly can.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 17-year-old lives with an<br />
extremely rare growth disorder,<br />
OSMED.<br />
It affects the end of her bones,<br />
where the joints are, so they<br />
change shape and are enlarged.<br />
When she was younger, Lilian<br />
would grow 1cm every month,<br />
twice as fast as her peers.<br />
Now between 186-190cm tall<br />
(her actual height is unknown<br />
due to difficulty measuring her),<br />
Lilian has been recognised at<br />
the Zonta Sports Awards for the<br />
most outstanding achievement<br />
by a young sportswoman with a<br />
disability. She competes at paraevents<br />
all over New Zealand in<br />
boccia and athletics. Boccia is an<br />
adaptive sport for para-athletes,<br />
similar to pentaque and bowls.<br />
Earlier this year, Lilian won the<br />
Canterbury secondary schools<br />
boccia championships and South<br />
Island boccia championships.<br />
Previously she was named<br />
‘emerging talent of the year’ at<br />
the Parafed Canterbury 50th<br />
Anniversary Sports Awards. She<br />
was also named most improved<br />
player of the year at the New<br />
Zealand boccia nationals and<br />
top female athlete at the Halberg<br />
Junior Disability Games last year.<br />
Lilian won both the discus<br />
and shotput at the Canterbury<br />
secondary schools competition<br />
and took out the discus at the<br />
South Island competition earlier<br />
this year.<br />
It was when Lilian was about<br />
four-years-old that her parents<br />
noticed some unusual signs.<br />
Said Lilian’s mother Wendy<br />
Exton: “It was a bit of a<br />
rollercoaster ride really. Every<br />
child hits their milestones at<br />
different ages, but there were<br />
just some things with Lilian that<br />
were different to her sister – her<br />
movements were quite different.”<br />
It took several visits to doctors<br />
and specialists to understand<br />
Lilian’s rare condition. <strong>The</strong> family<br />
is not aware of anyone else in<br />
New Zealand with the disorder.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> doctors are along the<br />
journey with us, they are learning<br />
from Lilian . . . really we just<br />
have to take each day as it comes.<br />
Lilian has got very good at<br />
adapting things for herself,” said<br />
Mrs Exton.<br />
WINNERS<br />
ARE<br />
GRINNERS:<br />
Lilian<br />
Exton’s<br />
success<br />
in both<br />
boccia and<br />
athletics<br />
has won<br />
her a Zonta<br />
Sports<br />
Award.<br />
When Lilian was in year 4, she<br />
started using a wheelchair as the<br />
arthritic-like pain in her bones<br />
became too uncomfortable. Now<br />
she uses a power wheelchair,<br />
and in 2013 with help from <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>Star</strong>, almost $30,000 was raised<br />
for Lilian’s family so they could<br />
purchase a van to transport<br />
the chair. With this came great<br />
freedom, said Mrs Exton.<br />
Lilian has a busy social life,<br />
goes to parties and has a closeknit<br />
group of friends. “Where she<br />
goes, her chair can go,” said Mrs<br />
Exton.<br />
She has just completed year 13<br />
at Avonside Girls’ High School<br />
and has plans to work with<br />
children with disabilities.<br />
On Tuesday night at the<br />
school’s prize-giving, Lilian was<br />
awarded three prizes, one being<br />
the <strong>The</strong> Joan Conder Memorial<br />
Cup, which is given to a student<br />
who epitomises the school’s<br />
values.<br />
In the future, Lilian hopes to<br />
compete at boccia tournaments<br />
in Australia, as well as travel to<br />
other countries.<br />
Throughout her life, Lilian has<br />
experienced people being unkind<br />
because of her disability. “I get<br />
a lot of stares, people pointing,<br />
laughing or whispering. People<br />
come up and ask personal<br />
questions,” she said.<br />
With help from her friends<br />
and family, Lilian has learned<br />
to brush off other people’s<br />
behaviour. “No one is normal,<br />
some just stick out more than<br />
others,” she said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
Philip & Glenys Kennard<br />
Dairy, properties to winning the<br />
Husband and wife<br />
horse ownership<br />
combo Philip and<br />
Glenys Kennard are<br />
going for their third<br />
straight New Zealand<br />
Trotting Cup title at<br />
Addington next week.<br />
Sports reporter Gordon<br />
Findlater caught up<br />
with the couple whose<br />
first exploration into<br />
ownership was in a<br />
syndicate of 10 in 1987<br />
with Idle Bromac<br />
Have you always had an<br />
interest in racing?<br />
(Philip) – Yes, my family went<br />
to the races a lot when we were<br />
kids, you used to queue up for<br />
the old Stevies pies. <strong>The</strong>re were<br />
big crowds at the night trots. We<br />
used to live in a 100 sq m home<br />
in Shirley and on Cup Day we<br />
could have anywhere from 13<br />
to 18 people staying there for<br />
the week. Mum and dad would<br />
turn on a meal for the uncles,<br />
aunties and friends. By Saturday<br />
after the gallops, the week would<br />
be done and everyone would<br />
pack up and leave on Sunday. It<br />
was always a lot of fun and that<br />
probably got me into it.<br />
What does being in<br />
ownership add to racing?<br />
(Philip) – I can remember the<br />
first time our family ever had<br />
a horse racing on Cup Day, the<br />
energy levels went up in our<br />
house tenfold . . . just to be there<br />
and in the race is amazing. We<br />
ran a lot of thirds and seconds<br />
for several years. We got nutted<br />
right on the line a couple of<br />
times. You go through this<br />
apprenticeship of emotions, but<br />
then we’ve been lucky the last<br />
few years to win Sires Stakes and<br />
New Zealand Cups in the same<br />
day.<br />
When you first got into<br />
ownership did you ever think<br />
you’d get a group one win let<br />
alone a New Zealand Cup?<br />
SILVERWARE: Philip and Glenys Kennard hold aloft the Inter Dominion and Breeders Crown trophies.<br />
(Glenys) –Oh no, just to<br />
get a win at the races in a<br />
lowish maiden race was pretty<br />
phenomenal. Even now when we<br />
have a maiden win we get just<br />
about as excited about that as<br />
some of the big wins. It depends<br />
who your syndicate members are<br />
and your involvement and the<br />
story behind the horse. <strong>The</strong>y all<br />
have their own special reasons<br />
for what it means to you.<br />
Is this time of the year like<br />
Christmas for you guys?<br />
(Glenys) – Well, Philip calls it<br />
his Christmas because he’s like<br />
the Christmas Grinch.<br />
(Philip) – I count down the<br />
sleeps to Cup Day from 100. I’ll<br />
often get out my diary at the<br />
start of the year and count back<br />
to mark it up. I’m looking at<br />
races and think about where the<br />
horses are going and how tight<br />
time is getting for some that<br />
have had little niggles and<br />
issues, because they’re like<br />
athletes.<br />
Do you have favourites?<br />
(Glenys) – Yes, you do. Smolda<br />
particularly just because what he<br />
went through. He got to a couple<br />
of weeks out from the cup and<br />
we had to scratch him because he<br />
had an allergy. He used to suffer<br />
from hay fever.<br />
(Philip) – Yes, even though<br />
he ran a really good second in<br />
the cup he was never at his best<br />
then because the pollen in the air<br />
at this time of the year affected<br />
his breathing. When he went<br />
to Australia he was a totally<br />
different horse, it’s like he grew<br />
another leg.<br />
(Glenys) – Lazarus was another<br />
because of his nature. You could<br />
have him in the backyard and<br />
he’d be good as. His friendly<br />
nature was incredible.<br />
What was the sale of Lazarus<br />
like for you?<br />
(Philip) – Pretty gutting but<br />
that’s the reality of syndication.<br />
(Glenys) – It was a very, very<br />
tough time. It’s still a raw thing<br />
for us . . . it was tough for both of<br />
us because we were the reluctant<br />
parties in the process to sell him.<br />
But, if you look at potentially<br />
what he can do and what he’s<br />
already done for harness racing<br />
in New Zealand with the North<br />
American interest, it’s showing<br />
we’re making a mark. We’ve<br />
been saying for years, our breeds<br />
are not that far behind the North<br />
American’s. It’s proven we’re<br />
actually on an equal.<br />
What would you liked to have<br />
seen happen?<br />
(Glenys) – We wanted him to<br />
do that third New Zealand Cup,<br />
not because Terror to Love had<br />
done it but more the fact that he<br />
raced so much in Australia the<br />
public of New Zealand didn’t<br />
really get to have that time with<br />
him. I just thought the timing<br />
would be to do the New Zealand<br />
Cup, maybe go through to the<br />
Miracle Mile, just pick and<br />
choose a couple of key races<br />
before going to America.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
New Zealand Cup<br />
How would you describe your<br />
relationship with other owners?<br />
(Philip) – It’s a great game with<br />
comradeship and friendship.<br />
We stand in the grandstand at<br />
Addington on a big race day and<br />
you’ve got other people you know<br />
really well who you’re racing<br />
against, but we’re sitting up there<br />
and can have nothing to do with<br />
the outcome. If they win we<br />
congratulate them and if we win<br />
we hope they’re as pleased for us<br />
as we would be for them. That’s<br />
the way racing is. It’s like going<br />
out on a rugby paddock and you<br />
watch these guys have a scrap<br />
and the whistle blows and they all<br />
shake hands.<br />
Can you describe the feeling<br />
of winning the New Zealand<br />
Cup?<br />
(Philip) – Absolute euphoria<br />
. . . you just don’t think two<br />
people from very simple working<br />
class backgrounds can actually<br />
achieve that. You think it’s for<br />
other people to do. I said it in the<br />
speech during the first win that<br />
I’ve spent probably 40 to 45 years<br />
looking from the grandstand<br />
to people accepting the trotting<br />
cup, and then to stand there and<br />
look back towards the stand and<br />
accept the cup was amazing.<br />
What interests do you have<br />
outside of racing?<br />
(Philip) – Kids and grandkids.<br />
We’ve got three girls – one in<br />
Brisbane, one in Melbourne and<br />
one in Christchurch. We love our<br />
camping. We have a caravan in<br />
the Mackenzie Country that we<br />
try to get to at least every second<br />
or third week from now on.<br />
What about work?<br />
(Glenys) –My work now<br />
is running the horse racing<br />
syndicates. Philip still does a bit<br />
of developing.<br />
(Philip) – I had a real estate<br />
company for 35 years and sold<br />
out of that five years ago.<br />
(Glenys) – He says he’s retired<br />
but I say semi-retired because he’s<br />
not really.<br />
Did you work in real estate as<br />
well?<br />
(Glenys) – No, I was lucky<br />
BIG WIN: Glenys and Philip Kennard celebrate with Lazarus<br />
trainer and driver Mark Purdon following last year’s NZ<br />
Trotting Cup win.<br />
enough to be a stay at home<br />
mum. Before that time I used to<br />
work at <strong>The</strong> Press, just typing a<br />
bit of news. I first started at the<br />
Oamaru Mail before moving to<br />
Christchurch. <strong>The</strong>n I left to have<br />
our family, but you get involved<br />
with what your kids are doing<br />
so I was heavily involved with<br />
the Wharenui Swim Club. I used<br />
to organise the travel for all the<br />
swimmers for about nine years.<br />
Did you do anything before<br />
real estate Philip?<br />
(Philip) – I did four years as a<br />
farm cadet and then I worked on<br />
a farm in Oamaru. I sort of knew<br />
Glenys a little bit there through<br />
a friend and then we ended up<br />
going out. I wanted to own a<br />
dairy farm, well I still want to<br />
own one, that’s the only thing on<br />
my bucket list I probably haven’t<br />
ticked from a business point of<br />
view but Glenys isn’t too keen on<br />
the gumboots . . . we came back<br />
to Christchurch and bought a<br />
seven-day dairy when I was 20<br />
and Glenys was probably 18.<br />
(Glenys) – Yes, I worked during<br />
the day at <strong>The</strong> Press at night in<br />
the dairy.<br />
Where was the dairy?<br />
(Philip) – Near where I had<br />
the real estate company on the<br />
corner of Hoon Hay and Lincoln<br />
Rd, where Bill’s Bar is . . . we had<br />
little money so we had to buy<br />
something that was run down<br />
to get into it. One day by chance<br />
I listened to somebody talking<br />
to someone else about shifting<br />
yellow lines when I was in at<br />
the city council and I thought<br />
gee, I’m sure I had the shop near<br />
that quoted to me. I thought if<br />
they’re taking those yellow lines<br />
away that will make a massive<br />
difference. So, we went back and<br />
checked it out. It was disgusting,<br />
the filth was unbelievable . . .<br />
because of the amount of grease<br />
in the carpet. It came up like new<br />
when we had it cleaned.<br />
How long where you there?<br />
(Philip) – It was trading about<br />
$1200 a week and we sold it<br />
20 months later doing nearly<br />
$20,000 a week . . . I wanted to<br />
get into real estate then but I<br />
was too young so I looked after a<br />
couple of other dairies. <strong>The</strong>n<br />
a guy I had applied to work<br />
with gave me a ring and said<br />
someone they had taken on<br />
hadn’t worked out and asked if<br />
I wanted to give it a shot. I said<br />
too right I would. It went from<br />
there and eventually worked up a<br />
pretty nice business.<br />

Marking 100 years<br />
since WW1 ended<br />
AT THE 11th hour on the<br />
11th day of the 11th month<br />
this year, we pause in silence<br />
to remember the centenary<br />
of the Armistice – the end of<br />
World War I.<br />
It was not to be the war to<br />
end all wars as it was hoped to<br />
be after a bloody four years that<br />
stole the lives of so many of our<br />
young men who served in far<br />
off lands, many of whom are<br />
still buried there.<br />
About 100,000 served<br />
overseas, more than 18,000<br />
died and about 41,000 were<br />
injured. It is hard to imagine<br />
what this would mean in<br />
today’s terms.<br />
Over the weekend, we<br />
planted a tree and unveiled<br />
a plaque to commemorate<br />
the 100th anniversary of the<br />
liberation of Le Quesnoy<br />
in France at our Park of<br />
Remembrance.<br />
We heard the great<br />
grandchildren of 2nd<br />
Lieutenant Leslie Averill,<br />
who led the New Zealand<br />
Mayor<br />
Lianne Dalziel<br />
battalion over the ramparts to<br />
avoid civilian lives being lost,<br />
speak with pride about their<br />
association with this part of<br />
our shared history with France.<br />
Someone reminded me that<br />
the men who served weren’t<br />
much older than them. And<br />
that’s when I was struck with<br />
the enormity of the sacrifice.<br />
That their liberators had<br />
come from the other side of<br />
the world was a sacrifice that<br />
has never been forgotten in Le<br />
Quesnoy.<br />
We also remembered Sergeant<br />
Henry James Nicholas,<br />
VC, whose statue stands in the<br />
Park of Remembrance.<br />
He was killed in action on<br />
the October 23, 1918, only a few<br />
kilometres from Le Quesnoy,<br />
and less than a month before<br />
the war ended. Sergeant<br />
Nicholas was accorded the<br />
highest honour, the Victoria<br />
Cross, for “fearless leadership<br />
and contempt for danger”.<br />
Lest we forget.<br />

Armistice Day<br />
Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
Historical significance for small community<br />
Wayne Stack writes<br />
about a small part<br />
of Canterbury and<br />
its World War 1<br />
involvement<br />
THE COMMEMORATION of<br />
the centenary of Armistice Day<br />
to be held at the new Lakeside<br />
Soldiers’ Memorial Hall on<br />
Sunday has a greater historical<br />
significance for the Selwyn<br />
District than most people realise.<br />
Traditionally in New Zealand<br />
and Australia, Anzac Day has<br />
provided the main focus for<br />
remembrance of sacrifice in war,<br />
with Armistice Day receiving<br />
only limited attention.<br />
However, the building of the<br />
new memorial hall in the centennial<br />
year of the end of World<br />
War 1 is proof of the continued<br />
commitment of the people of<br />
the district in remembering the<br />
sacrifice of the citizen-soldiers<br />
and nurses who went to war to<br />
defend the nation’s interests.<br />
<strong>The</strong> building of a new hall at<br />
Lakeside to replace the old hall<br />
that had been demolished after<br />
suffering significant damage<br />
from the September 4, 2010,<br />
earthquake was contentious.<br />
Some questioned the rationale<br />
of building a new hall in an<br />
area of low population density<br />
when it would be better suited in<br />
Leeston.<br />
However, the heritage significance<br />
of the old hall was<br />
recognised by the district council’s<br />
decision to build a modern<br />
replacement to preserve its commemorative<br />
function.<br />
What made the original hall<br />
so significant was that it was<br />
one of the first, if not the first,<br />
Great War memorials built in<br />
Canterbury.<br />
It had a dual function of not<br />
only being a memorial to those<br />
from the district who served<br />
overseas during World War<br />
1, but also served a practical<br />
purpose in providing a muchneeded<br />
community meeting<br />
place.<br />
According to a report marking<br />
COMMUNITY: <strong>The</strong> original Lakeside Soldiers’ Memorial Hall.<br />
the opening of the memorial<br />
hall published in the Ellesmere<br />
Guardian on August 4, 1917, the<br />
residents of Lakeside had begun<br />
raising funds for a community<br />
hall in 1914, but it was agreed<br />
to put the project on hold at the<br />
outbreak of war later that year.<br />
<strong>The</strong> war went on longer than<br />
expected and the need for a<br />
hall became acute due to the<br />
increased number of community<br />
functions held to support the<br />
war effort.<br />
Raising sufficient funds to<br />
build the hall had been an<br />
obstacle in the past, but like the<br />
funding for the new hall in <strong>2018</strong>,<br />
the project was realised through<br />
community collaboration.<br />
In 1916 ‘a generous and wellknown<br />
local lady,’ who remained<br />
anonymous, had offered to fund<br />
free of interest the amount of<br />
money required over and above<br />
the amount subscribed by residents.<br />
And it was at her suggestion<br />
that a brick building be put up<br />
and dedicated to the memory<br />
of the Lakeside soldiers serving<br />
overseas in the war.<br />
By this time the New Zealand<br />
Expeditionary Force had suffered<br />
heavy casualties fighting at<br />
Gallipoli, on the Western Front,<br />
and in Egypt and Palestine; with<br />
a number of volunteers from<br />
Lakeside among them.<br />
<strong>The</strong> building of the original<br />
hall also came about through<br />
further generosity of John<br />
McLachlan, a local farmer who<br />
had donated land for the hall<br />
to be built on adjacent to Hart’s<br />
Creek near Creamery Corner.<br />
Many residents were also<br />
actively involved in the project<br />
by providing free cartage of<br />
building materials and providing<br />
furnishings, while a Mr K. Patterson<br />
presented a large wooden<br />
roll of honour which hung in the<br />
hall.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new hall was reported as<br />
having ‘an attractive front elevation,<br />
two large folding entrance<br />
doors, with a neat window either<br />
side’ with the words Soldiers Memorial<br />
Hall appearing in large<br />
letters above the entrance.<br />
It was officially opened by the<br />
MP for Ellesmere, Colonel Heaton<br />
Rhodes, on August 3, 1917.<br />
This was a very critical time<br />
for New Zealand during World<br />
War 1.<br />
<strong>The</strong> NZ Division had suffered<br />
several thousand casualties on<br />
the Western Front in gaining<br />
success in the battle of Messines<br />
in June that year, which was followed<br />
by the disaster at<br />
Passchendaele on October 12,<br />
where the division lost 2861<br />
casualties (including 957 killed<br />
in action) in a single day.<br />
Such loss of life in a military<br />
event remains unprecedented<br />
in New Zealand history and the<br />
HONOURED: Lance Corporal Hersey Rapley (left), of<br />
Leeston, was killed in the battle of Messines while serving<br />
in the Canterbury Infantry Regiment. (Right) –Trooper<br />
Gilbert ‘Bertie’ McGill of the Canterbury Mounted Rifles,<br />
taken before transferring to the Canterbury Infantry<br />
Regiment. He died of wounds while serving on the Western<br />
Front in France.<br />
thought of not returning home<br />
weighed heavily on those local<br />
young men who travelled to<br />
Europe and the Middle East as<br />
reinforcements.<br />
An example is that of Trooper<br />
Clement McLachlan of the Canterbury<br />
Mounted Rifles who later<br />
transferred into the NZ Rifle<br />
Brigade, serving on the Western<br />
Front.<br />
After receiving a letter from<br />
his sister, Margaretta Lochhead,<br />
giving him an update on the<br />
progress of the building of the<br />
hall, he replied in a letter home<br />
expressing his hope that there<br />
would not be too many names<br />
on the roll of honour.<br />
Sadly, he was one of those who<br />
did not return, dying of wounds<br />
in France in April 1918.<br />
<strong>The</strong> McLachlan family connection<br />
with the hall remains with<br />
Clement’s great-great nephew,<br />
Hamish McLachlan, being the<br />
project architect of the new memorial<br />
hall, while working for Architecture<br />
Workshop in Wellington.<br />
Other local family connections<br />
to those named on the roll of<br />
honour are still prevalent in the<br />
district, such as the Lambies,<br />
Taiaroas, Thians and Pattersons.<br />
When opening the original<br />
hall, Rhodes commented that<br />
Lakeside was a rich fertile<br />
district, that he was confident<br />
the population would greatly increase<br />
in the future and that the<br />
Creamery Corner would some<br />
day become an important and<br />
busy centre.<br />
While this did not come to<br />
fruition, his prediction that<br />
the hall would prove very useful<br />
to the district in many ways,<br />
while also being a permanent<br />
memorial to those from Lakeside<br />
who served in the war, certainly<br />
did.<br />
<strong>The</strong> original Soldiers Memorial<br />
Hall became the heart of the<br />
Lakeside community, providing<br />
a sense of connection to the<br />
place.<br />
Apart from being a venue for<br />
annual Anzac Day services, for<br />
93 years the hall catered for lifeevent<br />
markers that are central to<br />
small communities – weddings,<br />
funerals, significant birthday<br />
parties, elections, sporting and<br />
cultural group meetings.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new modern facility will<br />
continue to fulfil these functions<br />
for the years ahead.<br />
Following the Armistice Day<br />
commemoration, the hall will be<br />
open for viewing, although the<br />
official opening will not occur<br />
until early 2019.<br />

you are away from home that day,<br />
simply forgot or if they have a<br />
beach house,” said Thomas.<br />
He also considered his<br />
grandparents when he thought<br />
of the idea, as they have a bach<br />
on the Coromandel. “It also<br />
helps with security, as when a<br />
wheelie bin is out for a few days it<br />
becomes obvious that the people<br />
are away . . . they will now be able<br />
to leave and not worry about the<br />
bin staying out the whole time.”<br />
Thomas said the “brains of<br />
the robot” are controlled by<br />
an Arduino Mega, a micro<br />
controller that connects to<br />
ASB Bright Sparks Awards<br />
•<strong>The</strong> long-running<br />
national competition<br />
for young inventors is<br />
in its 20th year and<br />
aims to showcase<br />
emerging creative and<br />
TALENTED: Thomas James (left) won an ASB Bright Sparks Award for his Wheelie Drive invention, while Bastein Gelin<br />
won an award for his Smart Heat Distributor.<br />
the wheelie bin, mimicking a<br />
human. It pulls the bin out and<br />
takes it to the curb using a preprogrammed<br />
route.<br />
Thomas took home a $1000<br />
cash prize for the project, which<br />
he says he will use to refine the<br />
robot. “It’s not polished enough,<br />
it’s still a prototype at this stage.”<br />
It was the middle of winter and<br />
Bastein Gelin and his family<br />
were freezing. <strong>The</strong> wood burner<br />
in their home only heated the<br />
room it was in.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Cashmere High School<br />
student wanted to find a way to<br />
move the heat around his house<br />
and control its distribution.<br />
His invention, the Smart Heat<br />
Distributor, won him the home<br />
technologies award category.<br />
Bastien installed sensors all<br />
over his house and created a<br />
server that can do the heating<br />
entrepreneurial talent<br />
in electronic and digital<br />
technologies.<br />
•Out of 22 finalists across<br />
New Zealand, five were<br />
from Canterbury.<br />
calculations based on the heating<br />
needs of each room. It can extract<br />
the heat from one room using a<br />
fan and distribute it to different<br />
rooms around the house based<br />
on the current temperatures and<br />
how hot the user wants the room<br />
to be.<br />
Bastien’s project, which<br />
he believes could be created<br />
at a reasonable cost and be<br />
user-friendly, uses an online<br />
application to display sensor<br />
readings on a plan in a house. On<br />
the plan, the user can view and<br />
modify the settings of each room.<br />
Eric Song believes his<br />
invention can solve all your<br />
courier woes. <strong>The</strong> Burnside High<br />
School student won first place in<br />
the Senior Software Engineering<br />
category.<br />
His BlackBox is a smart<br />
delivery box that keeps your post<br />
safe while you are not at home.<br />
<strong>The</strong> courier is able to scan the<br />
delivery item, using the BlackBox<br />
scanner. <strong>The</strong> lock-box will then<br />
search the vendor’s database in<br />
real time or search the tracking<br />
number. Once it has confirmed<br />
that the delivery is right, the box<br />
will open, providing a safe place<br />
for your delivery to be stored.<br />
A delivery message will also<br />
be sent to the buyers phone.<br />
<strong>The</strong> buyer can then unlock the<br />
box using his phone and scan it<br />
again to provide an electronic<br />
signature.<br />
Eric’s<br />
inspiration<br />
came from<br />
his own issues<br />
with couriers.<br />
He buys online<br />
frequently and<br />
is often not<br />
home when his<br />
Eric Song<br />
packages are<br />
delivered and<br />
usually ends up<br />
having to drive a long distance to<br />
pick up the packages himself.<br />
A passion for music<br />
inspired Hsin Lee to create<br />
ComposerFantasy. <strong>The</strong> invention<br />
won the Burnside High School<br />
student a shared award in the<br />
Best Mobile Application category.<br />
<strong>The</strong> program can combine any<br />
two songs seamlessly. Using his<br />
own music theory algorithm, it<br />
can combine music and automatically<br />
generate a new song.<br />
Hsin believed there should be a<br />
computer program to aid people<br />
in creating songs and that there<br />
must be a potential to simulate<br />
music into a matrix of value and<br />
use a network to combine them.<br />
“Imagine the national anthem<br />
meets a pop<br />
song. Or<br />
Beethoven<br />
performed in<br />
rock? Do we<br />
just directly<br />
mash the<br />
songs? No.<br />
Songs are<br />
composed<br />
using music<br />
theory so their<br />
chords won’t<br />
Hsin Lee<br />
match and not harmonise with<br />
each other,” he said. Hsin has<br />
combined music theory with his<br />
own algorithm to automatically<br />
generate a harmonised song in<br />
a format that is ready to play.<br />
“This is a useful tool for music<br />
composers with their own<br />
melody in mind,” he said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> heat is on – time to grow chilli<br />
• By Henri Ham<br />
CHILLI SEEM to generate a mass<br />
following all over the world.<br />
Did you know right here in<br />
New Zealand, we have our own<br />
chilli-eating competition and hot<br />
sauce festival? Much like coriander,<br />
chilli also really polarises<br />
people. <strong>The</strong>y either love it or<br />
won’t touch it.<br />
When it comes to chilli, I’m<br />
definitely in ‘team heat’ and love a<br />
good chilli in my cooking or even<br />
on its own.<br />
Chilli heat is measured in<br />
Scoville Heat Units. <strong>The</strong> higher<br />
the rating the hotter the chilli.<br />
Trained testers dissolve dried<br />
chilli in alcohol and sugar water<br />
to measure its pungency. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
then sample the mixture and<br />
dilute it until they can’t detect any<br />
more heat.<br />
Now I love chilli, but I’m not<br />
sure if I’d like this job.<br />
<strong>The</strong> current champion to the<br />
‘world’s hottest chilli’ goes to the<br />
carolina reaper. It has a little grim<br />
reaper-shaped tail and clocks in at<br />
1,600,000 SKU. To give some perspective<br />
– the friendly jalapeno<br />
measures around 5000 SKU.<br />
Eating hot chilli is not for the<br />
faint-hearted. People often find<br />
them to taste initially sweet, with<br />
an after burn that can last up to<br />
one hour in unsuspecting victims.<br />
ADVERTORIAL<br />
And as a general rule, the smaller<br />
the pod the hotter the taste.<br />
Chillies are a spring and summer<br />
plant. <strong>The</strong> first varieties are<br />
ready right now such as jalapeno<br />
and red hot chilli. In <strong>November</strong><br />
you’ll see the habanero red, bhut<br />
jolokia (ghost pepper) and the<br />
jalapeno red flame seedlings become<br />
available. You’ll have to wait<br />
until Christmas time to get your<br />

Waimakariri, David<br />
Ayers, will officially<br />
open the show at 2.30pm<br />
on Saturday <strong>November</strong> 24 at the<br />

hands on a carolina reaper plant.<br />
Here’s are some of the chillies<br />
in order of hottest (starting with<br />
the hottest of the hot) – carolina<br />
reaper, bhut jolokia, habanero<br />
red, red hot pepper, jalapeno red<br />
flame and jalapeno.<br />
Planting wise, chilli are fairly<br />
easy to grow. <strong>The</strong>y like a welldrained,<br />
sheltered and sunny spot<br />
in your garden that is very similar<br />
HOT: <strong>The</strong> capsicum jalapeno<br />
(left) is ready for planting<br />
now. Above – the carolina<br />
reaper is considered the<br />
world’s hottest chilli pepper.<br />
to where you’d plant your tomatoes,<br />
capsicums, basil and parsley.<br />
If you’ve got space near any beefriendly<br />
plants like oregano and<br />
lavender, plant your chillies there<br />
to help with pollination.<br />
Increase the quality of your soil<br />
by adding a good general fertiliser<br />
and come compost. Sheep pallets<br />
are also great to mix in with the<br />
compost, and act as a slow release<br />
fertiliser.<br />
Chilli plants can get quite big,<br />
so plant your seedlings around<br />
30-50cm apart. But they don’t<br />
actually need a lot of space, and<br />
grow well in pots as well. Water<br />
straight after planting, but after<br />
that they only need attending to<br />
every few days. Avoid wetting the<br />
leaves to prevent the spread of any<br />
diseases. And, once your chillies<br />
have developed, you might like to<br />
water them sparingly (depending<br />
on your taste buds) as less watering<br />
will make the fruit hotter.<br />
In around two to three months<br />
from planting, you’ll start to see<br />
some spicy life. First flowers appear<br />
then, after being pollinated,<br />
they turn into fruit.<br />
If you’re unsure whether your<br />
plants have been pollinated<br />
simply dab a small paint brush<br />
in each flower to help spread the<br />
pollen around.<br />
Remember as with many fruit<br />
plants, cut your chillies rather<br />
than pulling them off. This encourages<br />
more fruit to grow. And<br />
what many people don’t realise is<br />
that a whole chilli freezes really<br />
well – lasting up to six months in<br />
the freezer. When you’re ready<br />
to cook with them, use an extra<br />
sharp knife and chop up your<br />
chilli while frozen. With fresh<br />
chilli about $2 each in the supermarket<br />
right now, it sure makes<br />
sense to freeze them.<br />
Chillies are perennial plants<br />
meaning they can last a few<br />
seasons. Once your plant has<br />
finished fruiting, simply prune<br />
back by about a third, and remove<br />
any dead branches. <strong>The</strong>y don’t<br />
cope well with frosts. If you did<br />
plant them in pots, move them to<br />
warmer ground for winter. Either<br />
indoors, or higher to the deck or<br />
under the eaves of your house.<br />

GARDENING<br />
with<br />
ADVICE<br />
This is my first year growing<br />
QUESTION tomatoes. At some hardware<br />
stores they have nice<br />
looking tomato cages. Would it be worth<br />
investing in some cages or will bamboo<br />
stakes and string be sufficient?<br />
Apart from dwarf<br />
ANSWER tomatoes e.g. Scorsby<br />
dwarf and Russian<br />
red, all tomatoes require support when they<br />
are in active growth. Whatever type of stake<br />
you select, it should be placed adjacent to the<br />
tomato plant either prior to planting or immediately<br />
after planting so that the roots are not disturbed.<br />
Unless the bamboo stakes are green and strong,<br />
wooden stakes would be better as they are a bit<br />
sturdier. <strong>The</strong> tomato plants can be attached to<br />
the stakes with soft ties (e.g. pantyhose) at regular<br />
intervals of approximately 150-200mm as they grow<br />
upwards.<br />
Tomatoes grow best in free draining soil with plenty of<br />
compost added prior to planting. As the plants mature,<br />
side dressings of Garden Time Tomato Fertiliser or<br />
Garden Time Vegetable Fertiliser can be applied, but<br />
ensure it is well watered in.<br />
Mulch with compost to help retain soil moisture and water plants<br />
on a regular basis (2-3 times a week), allowing the water to deeply<br />
penetrate the root system. Always grow your tomato plants in a sunny position<br />
that is sheltered from strong prevailing winds. Good luck with your first crop!<br />

DIABETES AWARENESS<br />
Diabetes and Arthritis aid<br />
gets amazing feedback!<br />
• Since using the Aircycle the swelling<br />
in my legs and feet have decreased<br />
dramatically, my ulcerated toe has started<br />
to heal and all the pain from my toe has<br />
gone. <strong>The</strong> toes on my other foot have<br />
stopped tingling and getting sore on the<br />
tips and they are back to a healthy pink<br />
colour. I am now able to walk much<br />
further without pain.”- Richard UK.<br />
• “ Within 2 weeks of using the Aircycle<br />
my ulcer was starting to heal and in<br />
6 weeks it was completely healed. My<br />
physio said it was because I was exercising<br />
more. It’s good to be able to do something<br />
whilst sitting, especially when it’s so easy<br />
yet effective.”- Jane, Toowomba<br />
DIABETES AND<br />
ARTHRITIS AID<br />
Gentle and effective exercise while you’re<br />
seated watching TV or reading a book.<br />
It’s so easy!<br />
Registered with Medsafe & with lifetime warranty, it’s used by diabetes<br />

Cramp and restless legs | Sciatica | Building muscle & fall prevention<br />
Arthritis, Parkinson’s, MS | Aching hands, arms and shoulders<br />
Great Xmas gift idea!<br />
• “<strong>The</strong> Aircycle is even better than the<br />
information says. <strong>The</strong> pain in my knees has<br />
gone and although I use a walker I don’t<br />
need it around the house anymore. I can<br />
move more freely and have much less pain<br />
in both my hands and feet. My feet are<br />
warmer too and now I don’t need bed socks<br />
which I’ve worn for years” Gay, Rotorua<br />
Listed with Medsafe and shown by<br />
hospitals, rest homes, diabetes clinics,<br />
podiatrists and physiotherapists to be<br />
helpful for a variety of circulatory and joint<br />
problems in hands, shoulders, feet and legs,<br />
the AIRCYCLE helps strengthen muscles<br />
for improved balance and mobility.<br />
Keep your joints and muscles moving<br />
gently while sitting having coffee, reading,<br />
watching TV, working at a desk or<br />
travelling by car or plane.<br />

IN THE PAST Holden<br />
Commodore buyers have<br />
largely had to trade-off<br />
fuel economy against<br />
performance.<br />
<strong>The</strong> long-serving<br />
Australian-made V6 and<br />
the LS-series V8 out of the<br />
United States were great<br />
powerplants, but if you used<br />
the power then economy<br />
was always going to suffer.<br />
As recent history has<br />
served to prove, the<br />
Commodore is no longer<br />
made in Australia, and<br />
gone are those amazing<br />
engines. Nevertheless, there<br />
is still a petrol-fuelled V6<br />
option in today’s Europeansourced<br />
Commodore,<br />
alongside a turbocharged<br />
2-litre four-cylinder petrol.<br />
I’ve evaluated two variants<br />
of the V6 Commodore in<br />
recent months, but the most<br />
exciting model in today’s<br />
Commodore is a 2-litre fourcylinder<br />
turbocharged diesel<br />
option, and I was fortunate<br />
enough to have the car in<br />
my possession for around<br />
two weeks. However, it must<br />
be said, I just couldn’t get<br />
it to use fuel, after almost<br />
300km the fuel gauge was<br />
still looking healthy at almost<br />
three-quarters full.<br />
As an aside, when Holden<br />
New Zealand launched<br />
the diesel option to the<br />
motoring media, it included<br />
an economy challenge on<br />
roads north of Auckland.<br />
A wrong turn, putting me<br />
into dense traffic, ruined my<br />
chances of a winning result,<br />
but I did end the exercise<br />
with a 4.8-litre per 100km<br />
(58mpg) average, well below<br />
the manufacturer’s claims of<br />
5.6l/100km (50mpg).<br />
That was also reinforced<br />
by the display figures on<br />
my home patch. After a<br />
fortnight of much inner-city<br />
driving and a rural burst, a<br />
6.8l/100km (41mpg) figure<br />
was showing, which was<br />
helped by a 4.4l/100km<br />
(63mpg) instantaneous<br />
readout at 100km/h, the<br />
engine turning over slowly<br />
at just 1500rpm.<br />
For a big car these figures<br />
are remarkable, and if you<br />
take into account a 61-litre<br />
tank, distances of around<br />
1000km are possible<br />
between refills.<br />
Not only do you get<br />
wonderful economy out<br />
the 2-litre diesel, you<br />
also get the strong surge<br />
of mid-range power that<br />
epitomises turbocharged<br />
diesel engines. Holden<br />
claim power outputs<br />
of 125kW and 400Nm,<br />
HOLDEN COMMODORE: Thrifty diesel engine.<br />
the latter available all of<br />
the way from 1750rpm<br />
to 2500rpm, and that is<br />
why driving diesel is so<br />
rewarding, there is solid<br />
response to any accelerator<br />
pressure and a burst<br />
through the rev band that is<br />
quite enticing.<br />
Bear in mind, too, that<br />
drive is channelled through<br />
a smooth-shifting eightspeed<br />
automatic gearbox,<br />
the ratios change quickly<br />
and because of the number<br />
of gears, there’s never a point<br />
where the engine is caught<br />
out under-performing,<br />
turbo boost is strong and<br />
• Price – Holden<br />

• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 6.9sec<br />
• Fuel usage –<br />
5.6l/100km<br />
acceleration is vivid.<br />
Holden also claims<br />
a 6.9sec time to reach<br />
100km/h from a standstill,<br />
while by my stopwatch<br />
it will lunge through a<br />
highway overtake in 6sec.<br />
My introduction<br />
regarding performance<br />
and economy has much<br />
relevance, all of these<br />
figures add up to walletfriendly<br />
fuel usage and<br />
lively acceleration. That’s<br />
not something we’ve always<br />
been able to say about<br />
diesel-power, but the new<br />
Commodore has stateof-the-art<br />
engineering<br />
which is on a par with the<br />
competition from other<br />
high-profile German<br />
brands, and European cars<br />
in total.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Commodore also<br />
looks the part, it arrives<br />
here in two variants –<br />
liftback and Tourer.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new Commodore<br />
oozes character and style.<br />
All of those who offered<br />
conversation about the ZB<br />
series have mentioned the<br />
design, it has strong lines,<br />
the shape easily replicating<br />
the best we have seen from<br />
the Aussie Commodores,<br />
and it is a shape that befits<br />
the nameplate.<br />
It also gets all of the trick<br />
gear that we have come to<br />
expect from the Holden<br />
badge; it wants for little and<br />
particularly appeals to me<br />
in LT form with its cloth<br />
trim. Incidentally, the diesel<br />
variant comes in a base grade<br />
only at $48,990, I’m fine<br />
with that, I far prefer cloth.<br />
However, you do get that<br />
choice of liftback or wagon.<br />
For the technicallyminded,<br />
the new<br />
Commodore is effectively<br />
front-wheel-drive. <strong>The</strong><br />
V6 models have allwheel-drive<br />
capability,<br />
but in 2-litre form you<br />
have to keep the mindset<br />
that drive is out the front<br />
only. That’s no handicap,<br />
the Commodore steers<br />
beautifully, and enjoys<br />
a quick corner with<br />
strong body balance. At<br />
just 1.45m tall there is<br />
little body movement<br />
over the suspension, and<br />
with softish spring and<br />
damper rates the ride/<br />
handling balance has little<br />
compromise.<br />
By chance, I got talking<br />
to a police officer the other<br />
day, he was driving a newgeneration<br />
petrol-fuelled<br />
2-litre Commodore, and<br />
he was very enthusiastic<br />
about the new series and its<br />
refinement. While he also<br />
said he misses the outright<br />
power of the old model,<br />
the newcomer is a lot more<br />
civilised and quieter.<br />
Given that the police will<br />
be driving Commodore for<br />
many years to come, that’s a<br />
good outcome and a worthy<br />
endorsement. It certainly has<br />
my seal of approval as well.

Veterans back on world cricket stage<br />
Kember,<br />
Nuttall part<br />
of over-50s<br />
World Cup<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
THREE DECADES on from<br />
representing New Zealand at<br />
the inaugural under-19 Cricket<br />
World Cup, Hamish Kember will<br />
play for his country in another<br />
first time World Cup.<br />
Kember, 50, will travel to<br />
Sydney later this month as part<br />
of the New Zealand team to<br />
compete at the inaugural over-<br />
50s Cricket World Cup.<br />
Kember represented New<br />
Zealand at the inaugural<br />
under-19 World Cup in 1988 in<br />
Australia.<br />
In that tournament he played<br />
in the same side as Lee Germon,<br />
who captained the side; Chris<br />
Cairns; and Andrew Caddick,<br />
who played for New Zealand at<br />
age group level before going on<br />
to represent England.<br />
“It will be really awesome. I’m<br />
looking forward to book-ending<br />
my career with highlights in<br />
Australia,” said Kember.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 1988 tournament also<br />
featured the likes of Brian Lara,<br />
Inzamam-ul-Haq and Sanath<br />
Jayasuriya.<br />
With his left-arm orthodox<br />
bowling, Kember has taken<br />
about 500 wickets at premier<br />
level for Burnside West and<br />
more than 700 across all grades.<br />
In the one-day format, he had<br />
an economy rate of 2.3 over<br />
his career and could frustrate<br />
bowlers with his lower-order<br />
batting.<br />
He made his first-class debut<br />
in 1991 for New Zealand<br />
Emerging Players against Sri<br />
Lanka. Kember went on to make<br />
13 appearances for Canterbury<br />
in both list A and first class<br />
formats.<br />
BATTLERS: Hamish Kember and Andrew Nuttall will represent New Zealand at the inaugural over-50 Cricket World Cup. <br />
“<strong>The</strong> other left-arm spinner in<br />
the Canterbury side at the time<br />
was a fellow by the name of Mark<br />
Preist so I was often a back-up,”<br />
said Kember.<br />
At the over-50s Cricket World<br />
Cup, New Zealand will play a<br />
round-robin match against the<br />
seven other competing nations –<br />
Australia, England, Pakistan, Sri<br />
Lanka, South Africa, Wales and<br />
Canada.<br />
<strong>The</strong> tournament will then have<br />
semi-finals and a final.<br />
“I’m a wiser cricketer and a<br />
much more confident cricketer<br />
now, but I wouldn’t say I’m a<br />
better cricketer than I was 30<br />
years ago.”<br />
Kember has now been playing<br />
presidents grade for the past nine<br />
years. After being selected in the<br />
New Zealand over-50s team in<br />
April, he has also had to return<br />
to spin bowling after making a<br />
brief change in style.<br />
“We’ve had a few veterans in<br />
the club team that aren’t that<br />
great at catching off my spin<br />
bowling. I got frustrated one day<br />
and decided to take a longer run<br />
up and bowl medium pacers and<br />
I’ve been bowling that since, so<br />
this season I’ve had to go back<br />
to spin to re-focus myself for the<br />
tournament.”<br />
Kember believes one of<br />
the keys to success at the<br />
tournament, which runs<br />
from <strong>November</strong> 20 to December<br />
5, will be preserving bodies<br />
over the high volume of<br />
cricket.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y play up to nine games<br />
over the two weeks.<br />
“We’ve got a physiotherapist<br />
sponsoring us, so she’s got a<br />
team of three to make sure our<br />
bodies come through okay . . . I’d<br />
say they’ll be very well used.”<br />
Kember will be joined by<br />
fellow Canterbury players Brent<br />
Fleming, Craig Gibb and the<br />
oldest player in the New Zealand<br />
side, Andrew Nuttall, 61.<br />
“I’ve probably lost four<br />
kilograms in the past few<br />
months getting ready for this<br />
things,” said Nuttall, who<br />
played 19 first class games for<br />
Canterbury.<br />
“I’ve been doing Pilates and<br />
some yoga to help with the<br />
flexibility.”

Halligan takes over<br />
the reins at his old<br />
club – Chch United<br />
FORMER ALL Whites<br />
midfielder and Christchurch<br />
United legend Danny Halligan<br />
has signed on as the new first<br />
team coach to help his old club<br />
return to the top of Canterbury<br />
football.<br />
Halligan completed five<br />
successful seasons coaching<br />
Ferrymead Bays in the Mainland<br />
Premier League, which featured<br />
a league title last year and the<br />
English Cup in 2016.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 53-time New Zealand<br />
international now re-joins<br />
Christchurch United, the club he<br />
previously made a huge impact<br />
on as a player and coach.<br />
Halligan<br />
initially joined<br />
the star-studded,<br />
all-conquering<br />
Christchurch<br />
United team in<br />
1987 and won<br />
three National<br />
League titles and<br />
two Chatham<br />
Cups before<br />
embarking on<br />
a professional<br />
career with<br />
Brisbane United<br />
in the Australian<br />
League.<br />
He returned<br />
to Christchurch<br />
United in 1993<br />
and unexpectedly<br />
found himself in<br />
his first coaching<br />
role, while still<br />
a key player, at<br />
the tender age of<br />
28 when legendary coach Terry<br />
Conley retired. <strong>The</strong> first two<br />
players he recruited were two<br />
school boys called Ryan Nelsen<br />
and Ben Sigmund.<br />

Keegan makes winning impact on sprintcar division<br />
• By Allan Batt<br />
FOR TWO seasons now,<br />
Christchurch speedway driver<br />
Luke Keegan has in racing<br />
terms had to start all over again,<br />
going from being New<br />
Zealand’s top modified<br />
racer to a rookie in the<br />
sprintcar division.<br />
<strong>The</strong> technology<br />
between the two classes<br />
is like night and day,<br />
with the sprintcars<br />
being significantly<br />
lighter, more powerful<br />
and faster than what<br />
Keegan was used to.<br />
But his win in the<br />
first feature race of the season<br />
at Ruapuna over the weekend<br />
NEW CHALLENGE: Danny<br />
Halligan, who was named<br />
Mainland Football coach<br />
of the year in 2017, has<br />
returned to Christchurch<br />
United.<br />
Luke Keegan<br />
United approached me, I was<br />
initially not that interested,” said<br />
Halligan.<br />
“But once I took a closer<br />
look at the intentions and the<br />
ambitions of the club, I got really<br />
excited by the challenge. And of<br />
course, I’ve also got a soft spot<br />
for Christchurch United with my<br />
history at the club.”<br />
After the club’s glory years<br />
in the 1980s and 1990s,<br />
Christchurch United has been<br />
languishing in the second tier of<br />
Mainland Football, and Halligan<br />
admits his knowledge of the<br />
championship and his squad is<br />
limited.<br />
“I’ve got a lot of<br />
work to do and<br />
it will be a big<br />
challenge, but it is<br />
the challenge that<br />
excites me about<br />
this role.”<br />
Christchurch<br />
United has been<br />
rebuilding over<br />
the past few years<br />
and its academy<br />
programme<br />
has delivered<br />
great results at<br />
youth level. But<br />
president Slava<br />
Meyn hopes that<br />
Halligan will be<br />
the missing piece<br />
in the puzzle to<br />
take the first team<br />
back to the MPL.<br />
“We feel<br />
honoured that<br />
Danny Halligan<br />
has agreed to help his old club get<br />
back to where we belong. Getting<br />
a coach with his experience and<br />
pedigree shows that Christchurch<br />
United is serious about its<br />
ambitions to again be the leading<br />
football brand in the region,” said<br />
Meyn.<br />
points to him having turned the<br />
corner.<br />
<strong>The</strong> three-time national<br />
modified champion has<br />
patiently worked his way<br />
through any frustrations that he<br />
had in adapting to the<br />
sprintcars and, while<br />
he has consistently<br />
been in the top five,<br />
the feature win has<br />
given his team huge<br />
confidence.<br />
On Saturday<br />
night, he will go into<br />
Ruapuna’s meeting<br />

the first round of the<br />
$100,000 Hydraulink<br />

<strong>The</strong> pair come to Lincoln<br />
with some country rugby<br />
flavour, both having been<br />

Sissons has taken up a<br />
coaching role with Burnside,<br />
domination of the 20-lap race on<br />

to improve on his third place in<br />
last season’s series.<br />
Twenty-four sprintcars are<br />
expected to face the starter<br />
on Saturday, including entries<br />
from Cromwell, Invercargill,<br />

while Blair has done the same at<br />
Marist Albion.<br />
Robertson has spent the<br />
last two years as the co-coach<br />
at Darfield and head coach<br />
of the Ellesmere senior side.<br />
Last year he was also an<br />
assistant coach at Canterbury<br />
Country. He has worked for<br />
the England National Rugby<br />
Union as a coach developer and<br />
community rugby coach while<br />
part of the Harlequins Academy<br />
DPP programme.<br />
“I want to<br />
take my time to<br />
understand why<br />
the club has been<br />
so successful, how<br />
it has gone about<br />
achieving it, and<br />
then set the bar<br />
even higher,” said<br />
Robertson.<br />
“Lincoln University is<br />
a well-respected club in<br />
Canterbury. This new role is<br />
a chance to share my passion<br />
with the players and it’s a<br />
great environment to develop<br />
Craig<br />
Dunlea<br />
the person and help them<br />
to achieve in rugby and in<br />
life,” he said. Dunlea played<br />
professional rugby in New<br />
Zealand and overseas before<br />
becoming involved in coaching<br />
at Mid-Canterbury.<br />
He also coached the New<br />
Zealand Heartland under-19<br />
team for two seasons in the Jock<br />
Hobbs national tournament,<br />
and worked with the<br />
Canterbury Country team.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> bar is already set<br />
very high results-wise,<br />
so there will be a lot of<br />
pressure to keep this<br />
going. But with some<br />
great foundations already<br />
in place, it is important<br />
that we keep the<br />
momentum going and<br />
keep trying to add to that<br />
success in the future,”<br />
said Dunlea.<br />
“I really like the challenge<br />
of developing the players to<br />
become better, which will put<br />
them in contention for higher<br />
achievements.”<br />

Concerns over exposure<br />
to wind at Nga Puna Wai<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
CANTERBURY Athletics have<br />
concerns about Nga Puna Wai’s<br />
exposure to wind following<br />
the incompletion of a number<br />
of field events at an athletics<br />
meeting on Saturday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> wind was recorded at<br />
8m per second and caused the<br />
cancellation of the pole vault due<br />
to safety.<br />
While this was caused by<br />
a particularly strong northwesterly<br />
wind, there is an overlying<br />
concern about wind causing<br />
future events to not be able to<br />
recognise records being broken.<br />
For any records to be recognised<br />
at a meeting, the wind<br />
must be under the 2m per<br />
second threshold. At the three<br />
Canterbury Athletics track and<br />
field meetings held at Nga Puna<br />
Wai since its opening, the wind<br />
reading has never been under<br />
the threshold.<br />

City council recreation and<br />
sport services manager David<br />
Bailey says the council and<br />
Athletics Canterbury were aware<br />
of weather conditions associated<br />
with the site, including wind<br />
speed data.<br />
This was taken into consideration<br />
by the design team and<br />
and St Margaret’s College,<br />
which have qualified for the girls<br />
tournament.<br />
<strong>The</strong> tournament will feature<br />
more than 100 teams across<br />
great bevvies<br />

hosted its<br />
first meeting<br />
last month<br />
but concerns<br />
have been<br />
raised<br />
over wind<br />
affecting<br />
future events.<br />
therefore the athletic embankments<br />
were built to provide<br />
some wind shielding of the<br />
athletics track and field event<br />
activities.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> designs were reviewed<br />
and approved by Athletics<br />
Canterbury’s technical representatives<br />
as part of the design<br />
process,” said Mr Bailey.<br />
Athletics Canterbury will<br />
monitor the situation and<br />
engage with the city council<br />
if further wind protection is<br />
required.<br />

HOW GOOD was George<br />
Bridge?<br />
Saturday’s All Blacks test<br />
against Japan was a match that<br />
carried little interest for me.<br />
However, after venturing home<br />
from a long day playing cricket<br />
– yes, that other sport we play<br />
during <strong>November</strong> when the<br />
rugby season is nearing the end<br />
of its 10-month season – I found<br />
myself intrigued enough to cast<br />
an eye over the match.<br />
<strong>The</strong> game threw out few<br />
surprises and provided the<br />
anticipated cringe as at least one<br />
player made their All Blacks debut<br />
(Brett Cameron). I’ve already<br />
written about how the extended<br />
51-man All Blacks squad for the<br />
Japan test diminished the All<br />
Blacks brand, so let’s not harp<br />
on about that again.<br />
By the end of the match that<br />
feeling was only a back-thought<br />
to how blown away I was by<br />
Bridge’s performance, though.<br />
When my flatmate – who is<br />
the first to instigate a trip to the<br />
pub for every All Blacks match –<br />
arrived home near the end of the<br />
match, he threw out a surprised<br />
“Oh, that’s right the All Blacks<br />
are playing,” to which I replied<br />
“it’s worth watching for Bridge<br />
alone, he’s having the match of<br />
his life.”<br />
At the time, it felt like a fair<br />
statement. However, as the<br />
week’s gone on, I’ve come to<br />
the realisation that<br />
Bridge’s two try performance<br />
from the<br />
great service<br />

A game worth<br />
watching – if<br />
only for<br />
George Bridge<br />
bench shouldn’t have<br />
come with as much<br />
surprise as it did.<br />
In fact, it’s got<br />
me back onto the<br />
subject of why Super<br />
Rugby form seems<br />
to be all but ignored<br />
when the All Blacks team<br />
is named following each season<br />
for the Rugby Championship.<br />
Bridge scored 15 tries this<br />
Super Rugby season and was the<br />
only player from the back-toback<br />
championship Crusaders<br />
side included in Sanzaar’s annual<br />
Super Rugby team of the<br />
year in August.<br />
For some context if we were<br />
talking about English football<br />
and a player from any nation was<br />
named in the premier league’s<br />
team of the year in back-to-back<br />
seasons, he would surely be a<br />
shoe-in for selection in his national<br />
team.<br />
However, an eyelid was barely<br />
raised as Bridge’s name wasn’t<br />
called when Steve Hansen<br />
named his squad for the Rugby<br />
Championship.<br />
If Bridge has another Super<br />
Rugby campaign next year anything<br />
like this year, he must be<br />
in the conversation for a starting<br />
spot on the All Blacks wing.<br />
How long can we keep ignoring<br />
guys busting their guts each<br />
week to make the black jersey<br />
only to be met with the “yes, his<br />
form has been poor but he’s performed<br />
well in the black jersey in<br />
the past” reasoning?<br />
Bridge should feel proud of<br />
what he did at the weekend,<br />
Steve Hansen and his coaching<br />
staff should feel like they’re a<br />
little late tapping into an undeniable<br />
try-scoring talent.<br />

Four things you MUST<br />
do before buying a home<br />
Buying a home is a big deal. It’s likely to be the most<br />
expensive thing you buy, and it can be a complicated<br />
legal process. It’s even tougher in a hot market, where<br />
there is a lot of competition for a limited number<br />
of properties. It might be tempting to take a few<br />
shortcuts, but failing to do things properly could<br />
cause more problems later.<br />
Here are our top four tasks for home<br />
buyers.<br />
1. Research the property<br />
<strong>The</strong> real estate agent selling the property<br />
acts on behalf of the seller, however they<br />
are also required to tell you everything<br />
they know about the property. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
must respond professionally to all your<br />
enquiries and not withhold any details.<br />
Remember that you still need to do your<br />
own due diligence. That means getting<br />
a title search so you can find out all the<br />
facts about the property’s ownership,<br />
boundary and access, as held by Land<br />
Information New Zealand (LINZ). It’s<br />
a good idea to get a Land Information<br />
Memorandum (LIM), which shows<br />
information held by the local council<br />
about the property and land. For valuable<br />
feedback on the property’s condition, get<br />
a report done by an inspector who has<br />
professional indemnity insurance and<br />
carries out their work in accordance with<br />
the New Zealand Property Inspection<br />
Standard. Although this all costs money,<br />
it will save you more in the long term.<br />
Sellers may occasionally provide some of<br />
this information for you. If this happens,<br />
check that it is up-to-date.<br />
2. Get legal advice<br />
Buying property is expensive, and it<br />
can cost even more if something goes<br />
wrong. That’s why it’s important to get<br />
legal advice before you sign anything.<br />
A lawyer will handle all the paperwork<br />
involved in the process, including the<br />
title search, and offer impartial advice.<br />
If you don’t have a lawyer, the New<br />
Zealand Law Society can help you find<br />
one at propertylawyers.org.nz.<br />
3. Understand the sale process<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are several methods of buying and<br />
selling property, for example, tender or<br />
auction. It’s important to understand the<br />
process for the property you are buying.<br />
Practices can vary between agencies<br />
so make sure you confirm details with<br />
them. <strong>The</strong> Home Buyer’s Guide at<br />
buyingahome.reaa.govt.nz has more<br />
helpful advice.<br />
4. Read the sale and purchase<br />
agreement and understand what it<br />
means<br />
<strong>The</strong> sale and purchase agreement is your<br />
contract with the seller. It is crucial to<br />
read it very carefully and get legal advice<br />
before you sign. You can negotiate the<br />
terms and conditions of an agreement,<br />
but once you sign it, there’s no going<br />
back.<br />

are permitted activities in the specified locations if they comply with the prescribed<br />
standards:<br />
1. ACTIVITY: Temporary Depot/Storage Facility<br />
LOCATION: 95 Kilmore Street, Central City<br />
APPLICANT: Christchurch City Council<br />
REFERENCE NO: RMA/<strong>2018</strong>/2237<br />

3. <strong>The</strong> Kilmore Street site office and storage facility will cease on/before the end of<br />
day 20 December <strong>2018</strong>.<br />
4. Adequate dust control measures must be in place at all times so as to minimise<br />
any nuisance to neighbouring properties. Appropriate equipment (e.g. water<br />
hose, sprinkler system) shall be available on site at all times and used whenever<br />
required by adverse conditions (windy weather, etc) as well as to reduce dust<br />
emissions from heavy traffic within the site.<br />

a. Any public road (s), footpath, landscaped areas or service structures that<br />
have been affected/damaged by contractor(s), consent holder or by vehicles<br />

of the consent holder.<br />
b. Surplus or unsuitable material from the project works shall be removed from<br />
site and disposed at a facility authorised to receive such material.<br />
6. <strong>The</strong> activity must not create any significant adverse effects (relating, but<br />
not limited to, noise, dust, mud, light spill, odour, traffic generation, refuse<br />
disposal, animal control and visual amenity) that will, in the opinion of a<br />
Council Compliance Officer or Environmental Health Officer, cause nuisance for<br />
occupiers of surrounding sites.<br />
Note: If any significant adverse effects do arise, then the Council can impose<br />
additional requirements or conditions to avoid, remedy or mitigate those<br />
adverse effects.<br />
<strong>The</strong> general Standards for Permitted Temporary Accommodation and Temporary Depots<br />
and Storage Facilities can be viewed on the Temporary Accommodation page of the<br />
Council’s website at www.ccc.govt.nz/tempaccomm.<br />
Any temporary activity established under these provisions shall not create or give rise<br />

THE PAPANUI-I nes<br />
Community Board has taken the<br />
rare step of starting a petition<br />
to figh the city council over<br />
funding.<br />
Signatures are being co lected<br />
in a bid to get funding for a community<br />
facility in Shirley.<br />
It comes after the city council<br />
removed funding for the centre<br />
pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the<br />
intersection with Hi ls Rd. This<br />
was the site of the former community<br />
centre, which was badly<br />
damaged in the February 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake.<br />
<strong>The</strong> removal o funding<br />
prompted community board<br />
chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten<br />
to stand down, citing it as her “die<br />
in the ditch” project.<br />
Ms Jone said the board’s role<br />
is to represen the community,<br />
and by gathering signatures from<br />
residents, it was fulfi ling that<br />
role.<br />
“One of the roles of a community<br />
board is to represent and act<br />
as advocate for the interests of its<br />
community and this is what we<br />
are doing. <strong>The</strong> LTP and a nual<br />
plans are a l about lo bying the<br />
council.”<br />

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave<br />
Rock Apartments ar expecting the<br />
Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off<br />
on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.<br />
Body corporate chairman Mike<br />
White said the group had gone<br />
into mediation with IAG and EQC<br />
on February 20, and signed off<br />
on a deal with IAG on February<br />
2 – coincidenta ly seven years<br />
to the day after the February 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake. However, they<br />
are waiting for EQC to sign the<br />
agr ement.<br />
“Given that EQC actua ly drafted<br />
the agr ement, there’ l be no<br />
problem with them doing that.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> apartment suffere damage<br />
in the February and June, 20 1,<br />
earthquakes and were demolished in<br />
late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the<br />
difference betw en indemnity value,<br />
$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,<br />
$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body<br />
corporate.<br />
<strong>The</strong> mediation agr ement<br />
prevented Mr White from disclosing<br />
the se tlement amount, but he said it<br />
involved the two parties paying “a bit<br />
more money than they’d wanted to<br />
earlier.”<br />

SYDNEY’S hottest guys are back in NZ<br />
with their brand new show, "Unzipped"!<br />
<strong>The</strong> guys have been working with one of<br />
Australia’s leading choreographers putting<br />
together a brand new show full of sexy<br />
dance routines with sensational costumes &<br />
ripped bodies.<br />
"Unzipped" is a two hour show<br />
peppered with on stage audience<br />
participation, giveaways and a montage of<br />
tremendous acts - including fiery firemen<br />
to tame the temperatures, a seductive<br />
smooth officer, and suited gentleman and<br />
when the crowd gets too rowdy, policemen<br />
in uniform arrive to take control. Not to<br />
mention with exceptional assortments of<br />
lights, action, sex appeal, in an<br />
incomparable Las Vegas style.<br />
Renowned countrywide <strong>The</strong> Sydney<br />

Hotshots director, Paul Reynolds, says<br />
the key to the success of the group is their<br />
attention to detail, the constant evolution of<br />
the show and their love of performing.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> guys spend hours perfecting their<br />
moves, training to stay in shape and<br />
researching new ideas and songs. I believe<br />
that it is this sort of ethic; the love for the<br />
show and the audience and the level of<br />
professionalism our guys bring to the show<br />
that makes the Sydney Hotshots so<br />
successful.”<br />
