Elderly bashing
Angry son
says his
parents
have
been
cheated
• By Sophie Cornish
THE SON of an elderly couple
bashed and robbed by a
meth-addict feels “cheated” over
her jail sentence.
Maera Elizabeth Todd was
jailed yesterday for seven
years and four months for the
savage attack in Papanui in
August.
John and Colleen
McCammon were attacked
in their home by Todd, 39,
and Shantai Lawson, 38, who
demanded money.
Lawson pleaded guilty to
the robbery charge and has
been remanded in custody for
sentencing in January.
Mr McCammon, 83, had a
pillow held over his face to
muffle his screams and was
threatened with his own garden
secateurs.

‘Soul-destroying’ battle with
• By Sophie Cornish
2018 WAS meant to be Connor
Pokoati’s year.
The 26-year-old was finishing
up his masters degree, planning a
move to Singapore for an internship
and had just started the
rugby season for New Brighton’s
division one team.
Then, he was diagnosed with
stage four gastro-oesophageal
cancer.
The cancer of the stomach and
oesophagus had spread to his
pancreas and liver.
He was told without treatment,
he would only live three to four
months. It was after a couple of
months of symptoms including
shortness of breath, nausea,
stomach pains and insomnia,
that he was diagnosed.
“It was shocking and tough
to hear. I had done what you
are always are told not to do
and Googled my symptoms.
All my symptoms point to
stomach cancer, but I just had
that mindset of: ‘Oh that won’t
happen to me.
“We sat down in a meeting
with four or five doctors and I
knew something wasn’t right.
I could tell from their body
language. But I wasn’t expecting

chemo and recovery days.
cancer,” he said.
After a week of testing, Mr
Pokoati was finally diagnosed
with the stage four gastrooesophageal
cancer.
“I could tell even the doctors
were shocked by what they had
found. Usually the demographic
for this type of cancer is 65 years
and older” he said.
It was on the same day in
June that Mr Pokoati found
out he had passed his Masters
of Arts in European Union
Studies at Canterbury University.
Within a week, he was about to
move to Singapore and begin an
internship with the Asia-Europe
Foundation.
“Mum and Dad were at the
meeting when I found out, so
they helped me by telling the rest
of the family. The hardest people
to tell were my close mates.
Some of my friends flew down
from Auckland and I sat them
all down and told them. It was
tough.”
His younger sister Tisean
Pokoati moved back to
Christchurch from Sydney to
look after her older brother.
Mr Pokoati recently
completed his final round of
chemo and received positive
news yesterday that his cancer
has reduced.
He will now have two months
off treatment and is looking
forward to enjoying the summer,
visiting family in the North
Island and getting back into a
routine.
To keep himself busy and
family and friends up to date,
Mr Pokoati began writing a blog,

“It’s been refreshing having
something constructive to do,”
he said.

He talks about his struggles
through 12 rounds of chemo, a
treatment called Folfox, which is
seen to only have a 20 to 30 per
cent chance of working.
He described the side-effects of
treatment as “soul-destroying” and
dropped about 20kg in six weeks.
“I didn’t lose my hair which was
good. At some stages I did look like
a skeleton, pale and skinny in the
face for the first time in my life. A
lot of fatigue . . . I wouldn’t wish
those side-effects on my worst enemy.
I would have a 10-hour sleep
and wake up still exhausted.”
The former Shirley Boys’ High
School student was head boy in
2010.
Since his diagnosis, Mr Pokoati
has gone back to the school to help
out as a mentor and teacher aide.
“I wasn’t planning on it, but I
ended up making a speech in front
of the whole school. Eight years before
I had been making the end of
year head boy speech in assembly.
That was hard to think about.”
After making the speech, he got
the idea of making the blog, which
he describes as a “brutal, raw and
honest account” of how he and his
family and friends have dealt with
his situation.
“I realised there might be an
audience for my story . . . a story
that could help people in similar
situations, or for people who are
dealing with other types of issues.
But it’s not just for those who
are dealing with issues, but for
their friends, their families who
also have to cope with difficult

Little challenged over justice system
•From page 1
Mrs McCammon, 81, was
pushed down her front steps by
Todd, receiving bruising, grazing
and a sore lower back.
Their son, Chris McCammon,
said outside the district court
yesterday that he feels his parents
have been “cheated.”
“The law says there is a
maximum of 14 years. For the
judge to give seven, and then
50 per cent of that she is up for
parole . . . Todd admitted she
was going to kill him. He feared
for his life. I’m not happy. And
ultimately I hold Andrew Little
responsible.”
Previously, Mr Little, who
is the Minister of Justice, said
there needs to be reform to
New Zealand’s criminal justice
system.
A two-day Criminal Justice
Summit was held in August at
Parliament and then in Porirua.
Mr Little said in future there
may be changes to the bail, parole
and sentencing acts.
Chris McCammon yesterday
publicly invited Mr Little to a sitdown
law and order discussion.
“My parents’ lives had come
under threat, why do you want to
have these criminals on the street
and on bail?
Chris McCammon
“Mr Little, if you’re a man, I
want to talk with you,” he said.
Todd, who is from Whangarei,
has a criminal history that spans
more than 30 years, including 48
convictions.
She was surrounded by
violence, poverty and drug
addiction during her childhood
and has struggled with a
methamphetamine addiction for
many years.
Two powerful impact
statements read by Mr and Mrs
McCammon yesterday said the
attack had “totally changed” their
lives.
‘Mr Little, if you’re
a man, I want to
talk with you’
– Chris McCammon
“I was petrified that I was
about to be slashed with garden
secateurs. The offenders were
screaming at us and it was
totally frightening,” said Mr
McCammon, who has a sight
impairment.
“You have viciously and violently
changed our lives and we
will never forget it,” he said.
“My home now has horrible
memories attached to it,” said
Mrs McCammon, who has a
syndrome affecting her nervous
system, which has now got
worse.
Both have suffered significant
Andrew Little
psychological damage since
the event and are receiving
counselling.
The couple are back living
in the home where the attack
happened, in spite of not wanting
to.
“Alternative accommodation is
beyond our means and we have
had to move back into our home,
but we will never be comfortable
there,” said Mr McCammon.
Todd had admitted charges
of robbing the couple and
an aggravated assault on
Mrs McCammon.
Judge Jane Farrish said Todd
should be ashamed and appalled,
calling her offending, “the lowest
of lows.”
She imposed the sentence with
a non-parole term that means
she will have to serve half the
term before the parole board can
consider her for release.
Following the attack, both
women fled in a car, but were
quickly stopped by police.
They had taken a cell phone, a
wallet, a silver watch and a black
bag with items belonging to Mr
and Mrs McCammon.
Police found the stolen
secateurs in Todd’s trouser
pocket.
Todd once featured in a
ground-breaking New Zealand
documentary Songs from the
Inside, where four New Zealand
musicians, including Anika Moa,
went inside two North Island
prisons to teach singing and
songwriting.
A song written and performed
by Todd featured on the
documentary’s album, which
debuted in 2012 at second place
on the local iTunes album charts.
Documentary director Julian
Arahanga previously said Todd
had “awesome” talent and those
involved with the series were very
proud of her achievements.

Damaged headstones ‘depressing’
The gravestone of 21-yearold
Edgar Percy Jordan – a
World War 1 trooper – has
been lying on the ground
for the last eight years.
His is one of about 3500
damaged headstones
around the city. Julia
Evans reports
THE HEADSTONES of fallen
soldiers lay on the ground, some
cracked and broken, amongst the
3500 damaged memorials around
the city.
It has been eight years since
they were moved by the city
council during the September
and February earthquakes.
One of those men was Edgar
Percy Jordan, a trooper in
World War 1. His gravestone
is lying, propped up on two
pieces of wood, in the Sydenham
Cemetery with a poppy on top.
It reads: “Our only son.”
Mr Jordan died of wounds
on July 15, 1915, during the
Dardanelles Campaign on the
Gallipoli Peninsula.
Mr Jordan’s parents Mary and
Thomas Jordan are also buried
at the site, their names are on the
headstone.
Christchurch Memorial RSA
president Pete Dawson said it is a
horrible image. The stones need
to be restored.
“The RSA itself would like to
do it but we just don’t have the
financial resources to do it,” he
said.
Instead, he said the city council
and communities should work
collaboratively if no one will take
responsibility.
“These people gave their lives
to the community in one way or
another. We can sometimes forget
those who served and came
home and concentrate on those
who died.”
But the city council said it’s up
to the owners of each plot to repair
the stones – the cost of each
is unknown.
“We are happy to assist families
with the methodology to repair

Hardy said.
Its role was to make sure the
cemeteries were safe after the
earthquakes, he said.
“The stones that were loose
or at risk of falling and causing
injury were placed safely on the
ground. Stones that had fallen
were placed back on the grave
that they belonged to.”
Greater Christchurch Regeneration
Minister Megan Woods
said yesterday it was not for her
to get involved with.
Somerfield Residents Association
member Jennifer Sibley visits
the grave of her ex-husband every
morning while she walks her two
dogs through the cemetery.
Ms Sibley said the graves are in
a “depressing” state.
“It’s been eight years since the
quakes and it doesn’t matter
that the families aren’t around.
They’ve all got a story to tell,” she
said.
Ms Sibley said it needed to be a
collaborative effort between the
city council and the community.
The draft heritage strategy,
which will be approved by the
city council, was a good opportunity
to start that. She will make
a deputation about the issue next
month.
“I chose to bury my husband
here because its my community.
Across the board they need to
be fixed. The council got involved,
so they need to follow it
through.”
Until then, Ms Sibley said
someone needs to continue
speaking for the dead.

earthquake repairs have
been done properly?

Up to five years to fix wells
• By Julia Evans
IT COULD be up to five years
before work on the city’s water
infrastructure is finished.
But the city council is continuing
its battle to get chlorine out
within the 12-month deadline.
“The programme of works to
deliver best practice remediation
of well heads – including the
drilling of replacement wells
and new pump
stations – is
anticipated to
take three to
five years to
complete,” a
city council
report said.
Two years
Helen
Beaumont
of work would
deliver sufficient
water for
winter usage, it said.
It comes after the Government’s
announcement on
Tuesday that new regulations for
drinking and wastewater will
be brought in part of a multibillion
dollar overhaul.
However, today city councillors
will consider approving a $2
million quick-fix option for up
to 42 below-ground well heads.
“We will still need to do the
best practice remediation work
but by doing the interim work
we will have a better chance of
meeting the 12-month target set
by the council for getting the
chlorine out of our water supply,’’
said city council water supply
improvement programme
manager Helen Beaumont.
“The most significant constraint
on the work programme
is the limited number of wells
that can be taken out of service
at any one time, especially over
the summer months.”
Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi
The quick-fix work would mean
the water supply gained a “temporary
equivalent status” of security.
“Wells with secure status need
to be assessed every five years.
Those with temporary equivalent
status have been signed off
as secure for two years,” Ms
Beaumont said.
The report warned city councillors
the amount of the May
deadline “presents a challenging
target” and long-term well
heads will need to be replaced or
abandoned.
MISSION: The
city council
is still aiming
to have
chlorine out
of the water
supply in May,
even though
there are up
to five years
of upgrades
needed.
“The five-year time line goes
beyond the upgrading of existing
well heads and includes
work under way to build new
wells and new pump stations,”
she said.
It would replace infrastructure
damaged in the earthquakes, as
well as drilling deeper wells and
catering for population growth.
To date more than $5.5
million has been spent on
improving the water supply,
with $15.9 million in repairs
expected by June.

Quarry
application
submitted
• By Anan Zaki
Fire rages, homes at risk
AFTER MONTHS of delays Fulton
Hogan has submitted a resource
consent application to quarry near
Templeton.
Environment Canterbury and
Selwyn District Council received
the resource consent application on
Tuesday.
ECan said the application will
now be assessed to determine if all
of the required information was
provided by Fulton Hogan.
The resource consent application is
yet to be formally accepted by ECan.
The company is proposing a
quarry at a 170ha site on Curraghs,
Dawsons, Jones and Maddisons Rds.
Fulton Hogan first announced
their plans for a quarry in the area
in December last year and said it
would submit the consent application
in February.
But the submission was delayed
to May, followed by September and
then November.
Weedons Residents’ Association
member Simon Moore said it was a
“very sad day” for the communities
near the proposed quarry.
“None of us want it. They’ve
got no interest except money. It’s
nothing to do with Christchurch
needs,” he said.

Fire rages, homes at risk
SPOTTED: The rare and
critically endangered
black-billed gull in north
Christchurch.
Colony of rare
gulls sets up
north of Chch
A COLONY of critically
endangered rare black-billed
gulls have set up camp just north
of Christchurch.
Environment Canterbury said
the large colony of the “rarest
gull species in the world” has
been spotted on the Ashley-
Rakahuri River, just downstream
from the State Highway
1 bridge.
The birds are only found in
New Zealand. It is the largest
colony of these birds seen on the
river for a long time, ECan said.
“We want to do all we can to
make sure they have a successful
breeding season. Please give the
birds space and keep dogs on
leads if you are near this area,”
said an ECan spokesman.
FreshChoice latest to ditch single-use plastic bags
FRESHCHOICE is no longer
providing single-use plastic
carrier bags at its checkouts.
Its supermarkets went plastic
bag-free on Tuesday.
Group general manager
Robert Smith said he is thrilled
to have gone single-use plastic
carrier bag-free earlier than
expected.
The original target was the
end of the year.
“It’s great to see how positive
our stores have been about this
change. They are 100 per cent
behind this initiative and have
played a huge part in ensuring
we are single-use plastic bagfree
ahead of our target date,”
he said.
“Millions of single-use
plastic bags are ending up in
our waterways and oceans and
harming our marine species.
There is no doubt that they
are a significant environmental
issue and we’re glad to be
removing them from our
stores.”
Customers are being
encouraged to bring their own
reusable bags.
But for customers who forget,
there will also be a number of
alternative options available to
purchase in store with prices
starting from 20c.
“The best option is for our
customers to bring their own
bags when they shop with us
and it’s encouraging to see how
many customers have already
started doing this,” Mr Smith
said.
“I’m sure we will see more
and more customers bringing
their bags as they get used to the
change.”
Pedestrians
seriously
injured
A man and a woman were
seriously injured after being hit by
a car yesterday. Emergency services
were called to Grahams Rd, near
the intersection with Wairakei Rd,
Bryndwr, about 9.20am yesterday.
St John spokesman Gerard
Campbell said the pair, believed
to be in their 60s, were taken to
Christchurch Hospital in a serious
condition. Wairakei Rd was closed
at Greers and Grahams Rds after
the crash until noon when the site
was cleared.

Mammoth project on track
Fire rages, homes at risk
It’s set to make
commuting safer and
easier by halving travel
time and reducing fatal
and serious crashes by
40 per cent. Julia Evans
checks in to see how
work is progressing on
the Southern Motorway
upgrade
MORE THAN 500,000 cu m
of earth and $195 million is
being poured into upgrading the
Southern Motorway.
The new 7.5km motorway will
extend from Halswell Junction
Rd to near Robinsons Rd on State
Highway 1 so commuters can
bypass Hornby and Templeton.
From Robinsons Rd to Rolleston,
Main South Rd will double to
four-lanes for 5km.
The project should halve time
between the city and Rolleston
from 30min to 15min.
It is also expected to reduce
fatal and serious crashes by 40
per cent by upgrading the third
and seventh most dangerous
intersections in Canterbury –
Weedon Ross Rd and SH1, as well
as Shands and Marshs Rds.
Those are just the two key
features of the mammoth project
that has more than 20 components
and is on track for its
February 2020 opening.
New Zealand Transport
Agency principal project
manager Geoff Griffiths said
the most recent milestone was
northbound traffic on Main
South Rd switched onto the new
SH1 lanes last Wednesday.
Southbound traffic is also making
the move this week.
“The traffic switch on SH1
will see some local road closures
in place from this week.
Larcombs Rd at Main South Rd
will be closed for around four
weeks and Berketts Rd will be
closed at Main South Rd until

the new southbound lanes on
SH1 are opened in 2019,” he
said.
“That will be the next biggest,
most visible stage of work when
we move all the two-way traffic.”
After that, work will start
on moving 10 58-tonne bridge
beams will be craned into place
at the Weedons Rd interchange.
They will complete the bridge,
which already has 10 beams in
place.
“At the other end of things,
we’ll be starting on Springs Rd,”
Mr Griffiths said.
That work will take the project
into its final year.
“A new roundabout is being
constructed at the intersection of
Weedons Ross/Jones Rd, which
is due to be completed in the first
half of 2019.”
This year, work largely concentrated
on the Shands Rd
interchange. But there was also
considerable work at the Halswell
Junction Rd end of the project
with 16 piers installed for the
interchange.

Making commute safer and quicker
•From page 13
Mr Griffiths said the biggest
challenge of the project has so far
been the “unknown.”
“Weather has been wetter than
average for the last couple of
years,” he said.
“And just dealing with the
unknown. We’ve found a few old
dumps that have been contaminated
with asbestos.”
But in spite of the weather and
unearthing of old dumps that no
one knew about, he said everything
was on track for the early
20202 deadline.
“We’ve got this summer and
half of next summer, which is
a good thing. Not only is it the
rain we have to worry about, the
weather does need to be warm
and dry for the type of work we’re
doing.”
Plus Mr Griffiths said there
should be no more former rubbish
dumps to discover.
While the project will reduce
time and crashes, it will support
the south-west’s economic
growth with more than 35,000
people expected to move there in
the next 30 years.
As well as improving access
between Lyttelton Port, the city
centre and the industrial south.
During the project more

than 570 southern grass skinks
are also being recovered and
rehomed.
Its opening will coincide with
the completion of the Northern
Corridor.
“This job and the Northern
Corridor are the last two big jobs
in Christchurch that we’re working
on,” Mr Griffiths said.
The project was mooted in
2002. It was part of a study that
looked at the long-term transport
needs for the south-west of the
city.
But it wasn’t until 2010 when
the concept was open for public
consultation. After design
and detailed design stages,
construction began in November
2016.
It is part of the Government’s
roads of national significance
programme.

First week on the
new job and baby
takes her first steps
ON MONDAY night,
Vittoria took her first
independent steps. And
all five of them were away
from me.
I don’t mean that in
some metaphorical sense,
they were literally away
from me and she hasn’t
walked again . . . yet.
While we played in the
hall, my wife Laura called
her over and she turned
away from me and walked
the half metre over to her
mum.
Laura’s proud as punch
and I’m super-excited
about what this means for
my time as a stay-at-homedad.
However, I’m still
jealous that all five of her
steps so far have been away
from me. Dumb, huh?
Luckily, I did not have
time to spend moping
– Tuesday was B-Day. My
first official stay-at-homedad
day.
It was like D-Day, except
without the guns, the
soldiers, the beach landing
or other adults.
I think I did really well,
but it showcased what
I think will be a hurdle
for me. I’d had a couple
A NEW project director

of training days over the
weekend as Laura went
out with friends and to
organise a few things
before starting back at
work.
On Friday, I took
Vittoria for a walk, got a
slice of pizza and chased
some ducks. All good stuff
in lieu of baby times at the
library, which would’ve
been on if it wasn’t Show
Day.
Tuesday’s weather,
however, put walks out
of the question and there
were still no free activities
on nearby. It forced me to
think of something to do.
Before I could have just
followed Laura’s routine.
But that’s just it, it’s Laura’s
routine.
Now that I’m in
charge (in theory,
Vittoria tends to dispute
that) on the home front,
organising outings and
thinking up things to do is
on me.
“We are currently investigating
removing some of
the steel reinforcing from
the front of the Cathedral,
looking at safety and security
on the site and seeking
expressions of interest
from engineering firms to
assist with the stabilisation
and reinstatement work.
It is full steam ahead,” he

In stereotypical male
fashion, I decided on a
trip to get some bits to do
some repairs at home; fix
all Vittoria’s broken bibs
using hammered in snap
fasteners.
But I wonder if I’ll
manage to keep conjuring
ideas to keep us occupied
before I hit a wall of sorts
and spend every day
there’s no activity at home
in my pyjamas being hit in
the head with toys.
More to the point, I
hope those ideas can
include other grown-ups
so I can sneak in the odd
conversation that doesn’t
include the phrases “please
don’t cry” and “eat that” or
“the cat doesn’t like being

Fire rages, homes at risk
Second Atlantic challenge for rower
• By Matt Salmons
TAYLORS MISTAKE surf
lifesaver Isaac Giesen is set to
become the first New Zealander
to row solo across the Atlantic
Ocean and the first to row across
twice in a year.
All in the name of raising
money for mental health
charities in New Zealand and
Australia.
His trip is part of the international
Trans-Atlantic Challenge
2018. He is one of only five solo
entrants.
The crossing from the Canary
Islands to Antigua is more than
5000km across the Atlantic
Ocean and could take about 90
days.
“It really doesn’t matter how
physically fit you are, it’s a mental
game,” Mr Giesen said.
His only companions when his
row boat Bonnie Lass departs on
December 12 will be sufficient
food, a water maker and a sound
system pumping out drum and
bass beats.
“I’ll also have podcasts, but it’s
got to be drum and bass playing
while I’m out there.”
As well as enjoying his sound
system, Mr Giesen said he would
do a bit of fishing and “have a
think about life.”
DEDICATION: Taylors Mistake surf lifesaver Isaac Giesen is taking on the Atlantic in a row
boat for the second time this year. ​
“It’s an adventure. There’ll
definitely be challenges, but I’ll
just deal with those as they come
up.”
Mr Giesen said he was supposed
to undertake the solo trip
last year, but missed the pre-race
time on the water to qualify for
the 2017 Trans-Atlantic Challenge
due to boat repairs.
Instead, he completed the
challenge in a team row with
independent rowers from the
Faroe Islands earlier this year.
In spite of the team losing
two members early on, a broken
water maker, a busted steering
system and a stomach virus, Mr
Giesen said the journey had been
an amazing adventure.
“The positives far outweigh the
bad. It just adds to it.
“The goal [for next month’s
trip] is just to get across for me.
I find that if you go racing or try
to break records, you don’t want
to go back. I don’t want to ruin
my adventure.”
Mr Giesen’s cause, raising
money for Australian mental
health charities Black Dog and
Bravehearts as well as New
Zealand’s Victim Support, has a
personal connection.
He lost his aunt and two close
friends to suicide.
“It’s something that shaped me
and changed me a lot. It’s something
I’m still dealing with.
“I’ve actually got both my
mates’ anniversaries while I’m
out there.”
Mr Giesen said people could
donate to the cause, or become
a sponsor, through his website
www.thebluerower.com.
He also hoped to regularly
update the Blue Rower Facebook
and Instagram pages with videos
“so you can watch me slowly
deteriorate.”
Taylors Mistake Surf Lifesaving
Club administrator Adrian
Mouldey said he had known Mr
Giesen “since he was a nipper”
when he joined the club at nineyears-old.
Mr Giesen, a qualified lifeguard,
had competed in kayaking
at the national level since he
was 16.
“We’re very proud of him,
what he’s done and what he’s
going to do,” Mr Mouldey said.

Assange’s PR man
born in Christchurch
CONTROVERSIAL
WikiLeaks founder Julian
Assange’s public profile
is being handled by a
Christchurch-born public
relations consultant while
he remains on lock down.
Publicist Richard
Hillgrove, 47, has taken
on the Australian
computer programmer
as a client after working
for businessman
Charles Saatchi, fashion
designer Dame Vivienne
Westwood and actors
Steven Seagal and Rose
McGowan.
Mr Assange has
been in the public eye
since the WikiLeaks
scandal around storing
and publishing secret
documents.
The 47-year-old has
been living at
the Embassy
of Ecuador in
London since
2012, initially
to avoid
extradition to
Sweden.
Swedish
prosecutors
were
investigating
allegations of
sexual assault
and rape made by two
women, which have
since been dropped. Mr
Assange has always denied
the claims.
But he remains in the
embassy over further
fears of extradition
to the United States
for publishing hacked
military emails.

with his lawyer Jennifer
Robinson five months ago.
The founder of
6 Hillgrove Public
Relations has not avoided
controversy
himself. He
was convicted
on a £93,000
tax fraud
charge in
2014.
Mr
Hillgrove told
marketing
and
advertising
trade news
site The Drum the plan to
remove Mr Assange from
his role as WikiLeaks
editor was to depersonalise
him.
“The cult of personality
aspect around Julian
Assange has caused a
lot of his problems. It’s,
unfortunately, got very
personal. It’s almost as
if people like former
CIA director and now
Secretary of State Mike
Pompeo have got it in
Julian Assange
to Picton as part of the
New Zealand Cycle Trail’s
Heartland Ride.
A city council report
said at this stage, the
preferred route for the city
was along the Avon River
to New Brighton, heading
north through Bottle
Lake Forest, Spencer Park,
Brooklands and Seafield
Park.
“Once nearing the Styx
River mouth it turns
west via the Waimakariri
Regional Park to reach
the Northern Motorway
where it crosses the
Waimakariri River using
for Julian Assange on a
personal level.”
Mr Hillgrove said Mr
Assange is being treated
like a criminal, in spite of
publishing the truth like
any media would.
“He greatly regrets not
being with his family for
so much time and clearly
he has great concerns
about his liberty if he is
ever to be extradited to the
US.”
But he said upon first
meeting Mr Assange, he
was surprised at how tall
he was.
“He has a wicked sense
of humour and relishes
left-field and detailed
facts about anything and
everything. He picks
up on information you
would least expect. His
knowledge is vast.”
The problem is he
doesn’t get any proper
outside light, he doesn’t
even have access to the
balcony as a routine thing.
This situation urgently
needs to be addressed.”

the motorway bridge’s new
shared pathway clip-on,”
the report said.
Most of the
Christchurch route can be
ridden now.
“However, there will be
a need to assess the route
towards making it more
user-friendly. This is likely
to entail some signage
and improving one or two
sandy sections rather than
significant construction.
The improvements will
need to be scoped, costed
and programmed before
delivery dates can be
confirmed.”

Fire rages, homes at risk
Back for JC Superstar and to get married
• By Georgia O’Connor-
Harding
NIC KYLE has come a long way
since he was first scouted to sing
with Broadway star Elaine Paige
during her tour of New Zealand
and Australia in 2012.
It has been a whirlwind few
years for the 31-year-old from
performing at sold-out shows on
London’s West End to travelling
Europe with his soon-to-be wife,
Canadian professional football
midfielder Sophie Schmidt.
The talented performer, who
grew up in Ilam, has returned
home to the city for a short stint
to play the lead role in The Court
Theatre’s major musical Jesus
Christ Superstar.
It is one of the first shows he
has performed in for about a year
after taking a break to travel.
Kyle will be in the starring role
of Jesus – which he describes as
one of the most challenging to
play in musical theatre.
He said the award-winning
rock opera, with music written
by Andrew Lloyd Webber, is one
of his favourite shows.
It was the first show he did
after graduating from Christ’s
College in 2005. He played the
role of an apostle in the Showbiz
Christchurch production.
FUNKY: Nic Kyle as Jesus with his disciples in The Court Theatre’s production of Jesus Christ Superstar. (Right) – Kyle is
set to marry professional Canadian footballer Sophie Schmidt next month.
“I remember as an 18-year-old
watching Jesus and thinking that
would be a cool role to play one
day.”
He also played Jesus at the
Theatre Royal in Timaru in 2012.
He said the roles of Jesus and
Judas require performers to sing
“incredibly high,” which most
musicals don’t go near.
“Vocally, it is just an incredibly
challenging show to cast and
then once you have got your cast
to try and wrangle them to be
able to even pull it off,” Kyle said.
The show is loosely based on
the Bible’s account of the last
week of Jesus’ life.
But Kyle said the great thing
about the show is that puts a
new spin on a well-known story
and turns it into a human story
people can engage with.
“What I really love about this
show is you almost forget while
watching it who it is about. It
becomes kind of removed from
the Christianity,” he said.
Kyle is back in the city until
January and is set to marry
Schmidt in North Canterbury
when the show has a brief break
next month.
At the end of the show, he
will return to Vancouver with
Schmidt to work out where he
will take his career next.
Kyle led an adventurous
four-year performing career in
London before he was deported.
He was living in the United
Kingdom for two years before
deciding to get a de facto visa
with his previous girlfriend.
While the relationship broke
up, Kyle decided to keep the visa
which was flagged when he was
being checked through Gatwick
Airport, London, after a trip to
Portugal.
He then headed to Germany
after he was deported to play
the lead role in The English
Theatre Frankfurt’s production
of Spamalot, where he met
Schmidt.
Kyle said while it is not worth
it at this stage, if Sophie made an
English football league, applying
for a new visa was something he
would look at.

Lindon Puffin
Ageing gracefully but still playing
Next month, Lyttelton
singer and songwriter
Lindon Puffin will
perform at a variety
concert to raise money
for a Christchurch
YouthHub. His own
experiences when he
was younger have led
him to want to give
back and help youths.
Sophie Cornish talks to
him
How did you benefit from a
youth health centre when you
were younger?
I was in a glam-punk band and
I was a pretty strange-looking
fella at this point. I was young
and in a heavy goth phase.
That was all part of coming out
of Rangiora High School and
desperately trying to find my
own identity. I didn’t fit into
the expectations of normality
and was trying to find my own
path. We had this band called
The Puffins, which was pretty
androgynous. We were there to
shock people and we got quite
a good following. I didn’t really
have the backing from my family.
Everyone was hoping I would
just get through this phase and
become normal. I had done okay
at school. It’s a pretty similar
story to a lot of youths, those
who fall outside of that curve.
Someone mentioned the health
centre, the original 198 Youth
Health Centre on Hereford St.
I went there just to see a doctor
and we realised there was this
place where we could go and be
ourselves. It was the only place
in town that was on our side,
people didn’t judge you on how
you looked. It was such a vital
thing. It was genuinely a hub;
it was where we ran into all
the other artists, out-liars, the
quirky youth. Whether they were
alienated because of their sexual
identify, mental health or just
having an odd appearance.
When did you first begin
music and why?
It was when I was 11 or
12-years-old. I was one of those
kids who got really obsessed by
music. I listened to tapes over
and over again until I knew every
word. When I was 12, I could
recite the entire album of Pink
Floyd’s The Wall. There was the
usual suspects of Fleetwood
Mac, Queen, the music that is
‘okay’ to listen to in Rangiora.
In high school I met people who
listened to music the way I did.
By the time I was 14-years-old,
my school books were filled with
pictures of Bob Dylan and John
Lennon. Then I started to teach
myself the guitar and piano.
By the time high school was
finished, we had a crappy school
rock band, which eventually
turned in The Puffins. We were
doing crazy things to our hair,
making our own costumes. I
would like to say I had a really
supportive family and that
they nurtured that, but I didn’t
really have that. My mum was
supportive, she believed in me,
but they would’ve liked to see
me do something different. My
brother Ross somehow also
escaped Rangiora. He became
a very successful contemporary
dancer and choreographer
overseas. He is currently the
New Zealand Art Laureate of
Choreography and Dance. My
sister Claire became a heavy
diesel mechanic in the mines in
Australia and now works as an
advocate for women’s rights in
the mining industry. We were
raised to have a very strong
sense of work ethic, which was
ingrained in us from a young
age. In that way we have just
continued to do that sort of
thing. For me, it became music. I
worked that as hard as I could.
I understand you are involved
in quite a bit of charity work -
what else do you do for charity?
There are different things
that come up. For example, this
week on Thursday, the radiology
department at Christchurch
Hospital is having a quiz-night
fundraiser for the Christchurch
Battered Women’s Trust. I am
co-hosting the quiz, playing
some music and helping organise
that. It is about raising money
but also about raising awareness
and morale. A few months ago at
the Adventure Park there was a
fundraiser for tree planting. There
was a dinner there and was MC,
I also played. So there is balance
of doing those things and also
doing my work, such as playing
in bars. Just last weekend I played
at OGB and Rowdy Kitchen. On
Sunday, this week, I am playing
at a charity Christmas picnic at
the Little Big Tree Nursery. They
saw me playing and wanted to
put something on for the workers’
families. It is a variety of different
things. It is definitely an around
the clock effort. Some of it you
get paid for, some of it you don’t.
People like Dr Sue Bagshaw,
who wants to organise this new
YouthHub, is actively trying to
make the world a better place
every day. I look up to people like
that and try to help out where I
can.
How long have you lived in
Lyttelton and what drew you
there?
In the mid-1990s I came
over here when The Puffins
started playing regularly at the
Wunderbar. It was the another
place, along with the 198 Youth
Health Centre, where we could
be ourselves. It is a very eccentric
place; we were encouraged by
the owner to be as outrageous
as we could. He was German
guy called York. He would say
to us, “anything that is like the
ordinary rock ’n’ roll, I will just
turn you guys away . . . at least
half of them (the audience) have
to leave upset and if they are
not leaving, then you are doing
something wrong.” We were
very lucky to have that place,
we developed our whole band
aesthetic around it. I always
had a connection to Lyttelton.
Eventually I brought a little
piece of land with my dad by
the Timeball. We built a little
cedar box house on the hill. Then
my partner, Belinda Trott and
I had a couple of kids in quick
succession, they are 13 months
apart. We focused on our house

project and I stopped touring,
I have really tried to stay local
for the past five years or so with
the family. But, I’m not quite
wearing Crocs and a polo just yet.
I stopped dying my hair and I’m
trying to age gracefully. There
is a lot of artists here and there
is a real sense of team about the
place, really positive, creative,
competition.
On your Facebook page you’ve
listed covert yacht rock, pop,
rock, folk, punk as your genre?
What is covert yacht rock for the
people who may not know and
how best would you describe
your genre or sound?
It’s kind of subversive soft rock,
when I wrote that, it was a bit of
a joke. Once I moved past the
glam-rock phase, in the 2000s,
I started doing my solo music,
which was probably closer to
what I was listening too. I got
through that phase of shocking
people and just focused on the
songs. I feel like the music I
make, is similar to The Mutton
Birds, Dave Dobyn, Split Enz,
that New Zealand sound and
voice. I think it’s a New Zealand
folk-rock kind of sound.

You have opened for some
international acts like Tenacious
D and Billy Bragg – what’s the
closest you’ve ever gotten to big
fame? Any big names you’ve
rubbed shoulders with?
Billy Bragg is a real hero
of mine, there is integrity
personified. Paul Kelly also, I
haven’t opened for him, but I’ve
always dreamed of it. When
you are putting out albums, you
are always hustling for those
support spots, because you are
trying to promote what you have
done. I have done a couple of
tours with Billy and I just felt
incredibly lucky to have been in
that position. I toured with Chris
Knox a bit, The Mutton Birds and
The Exponents. Tenacious D is
one I can put in my bio.
I read online that you full
name is actually Lindon
McCormack, where did The
Puffins and then Lindon Puffin
originate from?
Really, we were just trying to
come up with a band name that
was colourful and somehow
we came up with The Puffins
and it was the perfect name for
a glam-rock band. We all had
crazy names in the band, I was
Lindon Puffin, the keyboard
player was Lake Vincent, because
he was Jeremy Lake. Everyone
just mucked around with their
names, it was part of making
an identity. Jason Clements the
bass player was Clements the
Bear. There was an ever evolving
seat of drummers and they were
always known as Ramona. After
I finished with the band, I got
roped into doing breakfast show
at RDU and the name stuck.
You are a father of two, what
does your typical day look like?
I try and get up in morning and
get my work done while Belinda
keeps an eye on the kids, Rita, 3,
and Elliott (also known as Lolzy)
who is almost two. I try and do
all my organising then, it’s a
constant hustle being a freelance
musician. Then I take over in the
afternoons, when Belinda goes
to work. She works for TVNZ
as an editor for 1 News at 6 and
Seven Sharp. Sometimes I will
be lucky to get a single email
done. I remember an interview
with Jacinda Ardern and her
partner Clarke, who said he was
going to build a deck when he
was a stay-at-home dad. All of
us dads laughed in unison. He’s
never going to build a deck for
the foreseeable future. The key
word I am still trying to learn is
patience. You have to learn to put
the tools down and focus on the
kids, because that is what your job
really is. It can be a challenge.

FAMILY TIME: Lindon playing the guitar for his son Lolzy.
• By Gordon Findlater
TEENAGE years spent playing
beer pong have paid off for
brothers Regan and Todd
Ramsay-Boyd.
Regan, 22, and Todd, 24,
pocketed $10,002 for winning
the Kiwi Pong World Series
at the Auckland town hall on
Saturday.
The tournament, promoted by
Radio Hauraki, saw 320 teams
from around the country battle
for the winner-takes-all purse.
It was the fourth time the pair
had competed at the event after
being introduced to the game as
teenagers at a flat occupied by
their two older brothers.
Regan and Todd – who go by
the team name Puzzles – take
the drinking game, which you
could call a sport (at a stretch),
seriously. But enjoying the one
night trip to Auckland to for the
tournament was priority No 1.
“It’s a big day of drinking. We
flew in at 8.30 in the morning.
We went straight to the pub for
breakfast and a pint and then
Todd did a suicide shot at about
10am,” said Regan.
A suicide shot is when someone
has a shot of tequila, snorts
salt up their nose and squeezes
lemon juice into their eye.
“That probably wasn’t a smart
way to start the day, but maybe
it helped us win 10 grand,” said
Regan.
“I think I hit peak performance.
There are other times
you can get a slight bit dazy,
especially if you mix drinks
which can cause a bad effect,”
said Todd.
Fuelled up for the tournament,
which kicked off at noon,
Regan and Todd won all four of
their pool-play matches to advance
to the round of 64, where
they won six straight knockout
matches on their way to claiming
the title.
It’s understandable that
recollecting the rest of the night
– which is understood to have
finished at 5am – proved rather
difficult.

“I felt pretty dusty in the
morning, but then we went to
the pub with some of the boys
and just reminisced with some
good beers and a good feed,”
said Todd.
The brothers didn’t receive a
trophy for their efforts, instead
getting a giant novelty cheque
that they were forced to carry
with them for the remainder
of the day after checking out of
their hotel.
“Every homeless person we
walked past asked us for some
cash. It was a bit awkward,
we had to tell them we hadn’t
cashed the cheque yet,” said
Regan.
The large $10,002 plastic
novelty cheque almost caused
them to miss their afternoon
flight back to Christchurch.
“We tried to check it on as
baggage but then they changed
their mind and said we could
take it on board . . . we managed
to bend it into an overhead
locker, its actually quite flexible,”
said Regan.

Stories of secret missions and
Six incredible stories from
World War 2 have been
revealed in Christchurch
author Jo Bailey’s new book
Never Forget. Reporter
Sophie Cornish looks at
the experiences of Naylor
Hillary, who carried out top
secret missions, and Ronnie
Sabin, a child migrant sent
from the slums of England
to Australia
NAYLOR HILLARY, who
died last year aged 102, carried
our secret missions for one of
Winston Churchill’s top secret
squadrons.
The Royal Air Force’s
Tempsford 138 Special Duties
Squadron was so classified,
it wasn’t acknowledged until
1989, when the information was
released through the Official
Information Act in the United
Kingdom.
Mr Hillary and his squadron
delivered highly-decorated secret
agents into enemy territory.
The planes had to fly low,
without lights, to avoid the
enemy.
Only one member of Mr
Hillary’s squadron was allowed
to speak to British and French

agents. This included the Allies’
most decorated servicewoman
Nancy Wake, who was once
the Gestapo’s most wanted and
was known by the Germans as
la souris blanche – ‘the white
mouse’ for her ability to elude
capture.
Other agents included Peter
Churchill, who was tortured
by the Gestapo and sent to a
concentration camp but survived,
and Violette Szabo and Andree
Borrel, who were both executed
by Germans and hailed as war
heroes.
The agents were kept in a barn
at a secret airfield in Tempsford,
Bedfordshire, east England.
Mr Hillary, an Opawa-born
man, was gifted the French
Legion d’Honneur medal last
year by the French ambassador
for his service.
Earlier this month, the medal
was blessed and gifted to his
former school – St Andrew’s
College – during the launch of
Never Forget.
Mr Hillary joined the Royal
New Zealand Air Force in 1942
aged 27. After commencing
training in Harewood, he
was sent to Canada to join
a Commonwealth Training
Scheme.
While there, he learned to
be a navigator and trained in
‘dead reckoning’ navigational
work, which relied on complex
calculations and identifying
landmarks on the ground.
After being sent to the UK for
more training, Mr Hillary’s unit
was transferred to Tempsford,
where the true nature of their
work was revealed.
The squadron’s secret missions
included supporting various
Resistance forces operating
throughout Western Europe by
dropping supplies and delivering
agents.
Mr Hillary’s role as a
navigator was critical and
required pinpoint accuracy to
ensure they met the various
resistance forces waiting for them
on the ground.

Fire rages, homes at risk
misspent youth during WW2
In case they were shot down
or caught, Mr Hillary and his
crew were given escape photos,
which could be used to create
passports.
He was also given a button,
which served as a compass when
fitted together, and a pencil,
which had a tiny compass inside.
At the end of the war,
Mr Hillary flew several
humanitarian missions,
dropping food to people in the
Netherlands.
He helped to bring home
many Allied prisoners of
war, and did a lot of aerial
photographic survey work of the
post-war destruction in Europe.
It wasn’t until just before Mr
Hillary’s 100th birthday that he
talked about his service.
Prior to the information being
revealed through the OIA, Mr
Hillary was told his work was
top secret and he told no one,
even up until age 99.
“That’s just the character of
the man,” said his son-in-law
David Bissland.
His daughter, Pam Bissland,
said she was “very proud” of
her father’s achievements and
was thrilled with his part in the
book.
RONNIE SABIN was one of
more than 130,000 children sent
abroad from Britain in the 1920s
to 1970s.
Under the Child Migrants
Scheme, the 11-year-old and his
two brothers, Joey and Eddie,
were shipped off to Australia in
1950.
But before that he lived in
the slums of Newcastle upon
Tyne, in the notorious Rochester
Dwellings, a place Mr Sabin
described as “shocking.”
Now, the 79-year-old lives in
Waitikiri, is semi-retired and a is
greenkeeper for Bowls Papanui.
During World War 2, Mr
Sabin’s father, Edward, was a
sergeant major in the British
Army.
The three brothers lived with
their mother and “terrorised”
the neighbourhood as part of a
street gang, said Mr Sabin.
“We were out of order, we
hardly were ever at home,” he
said.
The gang of hungry and illdisciplined
youths would destroy
anything in their path.
During the war, Mr Sabin
said police wouldn’t even come
into the slums and the hardest

part about receiving rations and
having to line up for food was
running back home without
being mugged for it.
“We had to beg and pinch
things. We lined up for our
rations and had to run the
gauntlet to get home. There were
so many gangs who would jump
anyone.”
His father returned home only
once during the war, when Mr
Sabin was four-years-old. After
the war, he went to London
and never got in touch with his
children again.
In 1950, Mr Sabin and his
brothers were declared wards of
the court and sent to Australia.
He spent six years at
Fairbridge Farm School in New
South Wales.
Mr Sabin credits his
upbringing at the school
for “turning his life around
and helping him become a
productive citizen.”
He later met a New Zealand
woman from Motueka, and they
moved to Christchurch.
All three brothers ended up
marrying and having children.
Eddie has now passed away, but
Joey is still alive and is retired,
living in Woy Woy, central
coastal New South Wales.
In 2010, Mr Sabin and
Bailey self-published a
book called The Long Way
Home, which detailed
his upbringing as a child
migrant. An extract of his story
was used in Never Forget, with
a focus on the tough war years
living in Newcastle upon Tyne.

GARDENING
with
ADVICE
An area in my garden
QUESTION has clay soil and only
receives afternoon
sun from around 3pm. In summer, the sun
can be so strong it burns the plants, and in
winter this area may receive no direct
sunshine at all. I’ve tried planting roses,
peonies and hydrangeas but to no avail. A
friend suggested I try planting cranberries.
Do you think they will grow in this area and if
so when should I plant them? If not, could
you please suggest other suitable plants?
Today’s winning question came
from Jane Haw. Congratulations!
Many gardens in NZ have a similar dilemma; winter shade, summer sun and of course
ANSWER a heavy clay soil. The clay soil can be tackled by adding generous amounts of Daltons
Garden Time Compost (you can also apply Daltons Clay Breaker) as well as raising the
existing levels of the soil and ensuring adequate drainage in that part of the garden.
If there are existing trees or shrubs that are causing the shade, some careful pruning or the removal of some
trees will improve the light to your garden throughout the year.
Cranberries are a possible crop and grow best in soils that are acidic, so you’ll need to add peat to the existing
soil before planting.
Fruit trees grow best and produce the most flavoursome fruit when grown in full sunlight – the one exception
being feijoas which grow and produce good quality fruit in the conditions you have outlined. Thoroughly
prepare the soil before planting by deep digging and adding generous amounts of compost to the existing soil.
While winter is often the preferred month for planting fruit trees, they can be planted
throughout the year as long as they are regularly watered and mulched over the dry, hot
summer months.
For more gardening advice and tips, check out our Growing How to Grow guides at

Pots for indoors and outdoors
GARDENING IN pots is
a spectacularly rewarding
and low labour hobby.
Instead of battling the
elements, treating tired old
soil, weeding and digging
frantically, you simply tip
the prepared perfect potting
mix into the container,
follow it up with the plants,
water and wait.
It’s hard to go wrong.
You just move the pot
around until you’ve found
the perfect sunny or shady
spot because a container
garden is portable.
You can move it about
your home, patio or garden
to fill bare spots at any
time of year. And best of
all, when you move house,
you don’t have to leave
your cherished garden
behind – they all shift with
the furniture.
Furthermore, container
gardens look great anywhere
– as hanging baskets
on terraces and pergolas,
half round containers spilling
colour down a wall or
fence, or simply sitting on
paved areas.

Drive down any well-established residential
street in Christchurch and you will probably
encounter numerous hedges, nature’s fencing
and shelter solution.
Hedges offer privacy from nosy neighbours,
shelter from damaging winds, a solid living
background or edging to a colourful garden,
and an architectural link between your home
and your section. We all know it is the first
impression that counts and a well trimmed,
healthy hedge adds value to your property,
and indicates a much loved and well cared for
residence.
Often planted last generation or even
earlier, hedges come in all shapes, sizes and
species, and benefit from individual attention,
rather than a onesize-fits-all
approach
to maintenance and
trimming.
For an amateur, a
tidy hedge requires
hours of work and
gorilla-length arms,
not to mention
the cost and effort
involved with
removing the debris.
Luckily,
Hedgehogs Hedge
Specialists now
offers cost-effective
and professional
hedge care in the

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS
Taha Auto – cash for cars, spare
parts and great service too
Located in Sockburn, Taha Auto in
Christchurch is part of the Taha Auto group
which was established 12 years ago and has
branches in Wellington and Auckland as
well as a sister company in Sydney.
Split into divisions to met the needs of
both trade and individual customers, Taha
Auto will both pay cash-for-cars and supply
a huge variety of parts.
The Cash-for-Cars division has four
trucks on the road six days a week collecting
vehicles from right across the Canterbury
region. Wherever you are, if your car, truck
or ute is no longer driveable, the Taha
Auto team can not only collect it free of
charge, but give you a great scrap price, too.
Whether your vehicle has simply failed its
warrant or has been involved in a crash,
they will take it off your hands.
Working alongside the Cash for Cars
division, the Scrap division then takes the
vehicle apart, separating them into those
stripped and sold for scrap, those that are
dismantled for export and those selected to
keep for their local parts sales market.
Running alongside the other divisions,
the Auto Parts sales division has four staff
with over 60 years combined experience.
There is a huge range of spares for most
makes and models of cars, utes and vans,
specialising in Suzuki Swifts, Nissan Tiida,
Nissan Murano, Misty Outlander and
Triton. As well as recycling used parts, they
also import new after-market parts from
Asia, with containers scheduled to arrive
soon, and they import used parts from
their overseas supplier on a regular basis. In
fact, they send parts all over New Zealand
for the public and automotive trade sectors
daily.
They have a huge range of car lights from
$40, and if you need a used tyre or battery,
their staff can fit it while you wait at no extra
charge. Above all, they pride themselves on
service and supply, and in most cases, they
can match or better any deal on parts in
stock.
Find them at 115A Main South Road,
Sockburn.

Timely arrival for

I LIKE it when things turn
out the way I think they
should.
A year or so ago Kia
Motors New Zealand asked
me to spend some time in
a Kia Niro hybrid, part of
an evaluation the company
was undertaking with a
view to marketing the
small sport utility vehicle
in New Zealand. Kia must
have had good feedback
from all the motoring journalists
who drove the car,
for it is now part of the Kia
NZ line-up.
The Niro hybrid is a traditional
hybrid, it is petrol/
electric and works in a
similar fashion to, say, that
of Toyota’s Prius.
However, the Niro is
also the clever SUV which
buyers are flocking to globally.
If you combine these
two design elements, then
it’s no surprise that I was
rather smitten with it as an
overall vehicle.
The Niro lands here in
two formats. Effectively,
there is a low and high
grade hybrid – EX and
Limited – along with a
plug-in electric model –
PHEV. They are priced at
$39,990 and $43,990, the
PHEV lands at $55,990. All
are good value buying for a
fuel-efficient, family wagon
and a timely arrival given
our fluctuating fuel prices.
The Niro’s operating
system is quite normal, but
there is one fundamental
difference between it and
the Toyota system, the
Niro utilises a dual clutch
automatic gearbox against
Toyota’s continuously variable
unit.
Technicalities aside,
when drive is selected the
Niro operates much like
any traditional transmission,
the hybrid system
works with a four-cylinder,
1.6-litre engine, and it is a
driveline which Kia shares
with Hyundai, the latter
utilised in the Ioniq which
is just establishing itself in
New Zealand.
Whereas the Ioniq is
hatchback-based, the Niro
is truly an SUV, and even
though it is just 4.3m it
translates its onboard space
to a very usable family
wagon, Kia claim a 373-
litre load space extending
to 1371-litres with the rear
seats folded flat.
The cabin area is cosy but
comfortable, and with high
quality trim elements the
Niro punches well above
its weight in terms of price
KIA NIRO: Combats fluctuating fuel prices
structure.
Kia’s hybrid system is
rated at 77kW and 170Nm
with extra power (32kW)
available from electric
energy stored in the batteries
and distributed
alongside petrol power. In
layman’s terms, the engine
is utilised for drive to the
front wheels and generating
power for the batteries,
which in turn is then transmitted
to an electric motor
to provide additional drive.
• Price – Kia Niro EX,
$39,990
• Dimensions –
Length, 4355mm;
width, 1805mm;
height, 1535mm
• Configuration –
Four-cylinder, frontwheel-drive,
1580cc,
77kW, 147Nm, sixspeed,automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 11.1sec
• Fuel usage –
3.8l/100km
Drive is almost seamless
other than what you feel
though the gear changes.
I’m not saying they are
overly noticeable, but being
a dual clutch system you
can feel it shift through
the six steps. That doesn’t
bother me, I quite like that
as it makes the driver feel
part of the car.
Interestingly, Kia’s fuel
consumption claims vary
a little. If you buy the
high grade model which
comes with 18in wheels,
the combined cycle rating
is 4.4-litres per 100km
(64mpg). However, the
test car was EX-spec with
16in wheels and it has a
3.8l/100km (74mpg) figure.
When I picked the vehicle
up it was showing an
almost 900km to empty
reading, which suggests
it is going to go long distances
between fill-ups. For
the record, it was reading a
5.5l/00km (50mpg) average
when I took the car back to
the dealership.
I thought my figures were
outstanding given I did do
a lot of inner-city driving
in the test car, along with a
long highway loop.
Kia also says that the
Niro will accelerate to
100km/h from a standstill
in 11.1sec and will top
end at 160km/h. By my
reckoning that’s more than
enough performance for
the role it is intended to
undertake.
The Niro feels energetic
enough through the accelerator,
and when you need
mid-range power, when
overtaking for example,
the flow of electric current
provides a solid feeling of
acceleration.
The Niro is also a tidy
handler, it feels light and
agile. With the battery
weight low down in the
chassis, and at the rear, it
feels settled and balanced
in a corner. It also steers
directly thanks to grippy
Michelin Energy tyres
(205/60).
Another plus is the fitment
of a fully independent
suspension system (front
struts and rear double wishbones).
The bonus is flexible
wheel movement, while
the springs and dampers are
a nice compromise of comfort
and the firming you
need to keep body roll contained.
The Niro is an adept
handler and one which you
immediately feel comfortable
with as a driver.
Korean car makers are
going from strength to
strength, and are well in
tune with a global demand
for electric and hybrid
vehicles.
The Niro will be a key
part of Kia’s marketing
strategy here, it’s a vehicle
which impresses on many
fronts, two major features
are its practicality and
economy.

Sport
in brief
Time for a new
Canty tennis champ
A new men’s tennis champion
will be crowned at the
Canterbury Open over the
weekend after defending
champion James Meredith
elected not to enter the
tournament. Meanwhile,
Tessa McCann will defend her
women’s title. The tournament
at Wilding Park starts on
Saturday with semi-finals and
finals on Sunday.
Rusbatch’s lonely build up
• By Gordon Findlater
ONE TALL Blacks’ preparation
for next week’s World Cup
qualifying match against Jordan
at Horncastle Arena is unique to
the rest of his teammates.
Ethan Rusbatch, Canterbury’s
only Tall Blacks player, is
preparing for the match next
Thursday by himself each day,
often alone at a training facility
in Hornby, while nearly all the
Tall Blacks squad are playing in
the Australian NBL.
“It’s a little bit tougher in
terms of not having guys around
you that want to go as hard as
you, but I know the level. I know
that I’ve got to push myself as
hard as I can go to be ready,”
said Rusbatch.
Having previously been part
of the New Zealand Breakers
development programme in
recent years, Rusbatch did not
sign with a professional team
following the NBL season with
the Hawkes Bay Hawks, which
finished in August. However,
the 26-year-old is not giving up
his dream to play professionally
in the ANBL.
“It’s too fun. If I can still run
and jump and shoot, then I’ll
keep living off savings and keep
going as long as I can,” said
Rusbatch.
“I know I’ll get there
eventually. It’s just a matter
of getting my foot in the right
door.” After learning the Tall
Blacks will play their first game
in Christchurch since 2004,
Rusbatch was understandably
excited about the chance to
represent New Zealand in his
home town.
“It’s an extra bit of motivation
for me to get ready for
something that could be a pretty
big deal for me by getting to
AT WORK: Ethan Rusbatch training alone at the Canterbury
Rams facility ahead of the Tall Blacks game against Jordan
next Thursday. Rusbatch averaged 13.5 points per game in the
NBL this year playing for the Hawkes Bay Hawks.
“I’ve had my name on
the back of a bunch
of different jerseys, but
when you have your
name on a jersey with
your country on the front
it just feels a bit different’
– Ethan Rusbatch
play in front of my friends and
family for the first time,” said
Rusbatch.
“I’ve had my name on the
back of a bunch of different
jerseys, but when you have your
name on a jersey with your
country on the front it just feels
a bit different. It’s a real surreal
feeling. You get that sense that
it’s not just for you, but for
all of your people as well. It’s
something that’s pretty special.”
The guard/forward was
named in coach Paul Henare’s
14-man squad, which will
assemble in Christchurch next
week, and he is hopeful of
making the 12-man game day
squad.
In preparation for the game,
Rusbatch has been training two
to four times a day. This involves
at least one gym session and one
court session at the Canterbury
Rams training facility on
Buchanans Rd in Hei Hei.
“I like doing it and, if you
don’t do the work, you’re not
going to get the results. If I want
to play at a high level, I can’t just

successfully defended her
women’s Queenstown Marathon
title at the weekend. Oldroyd’s
time of 2hr 52min 13sec saw
her cross the finish line minutes
ahead of Lydia O’Donnell and
Aimee Durbin. The 31-year-old
said it was “so unexpected” and
“unreal” to become a back-toback
champion.

McConchie has his eye
in with bat and ball
• By Gordon Findlater
LAST YEAR Canterbury captain
Cole McConchie was named
as the team’s batter of the year
following a breakout 2016/17
summer.
Now, he’s putting his hand up
to be considered a top bowler.
McConchie, 26, is Canterbury’s
leading wicket-taker in the Ford
Trophy 50-over competition
with 13 from nine games. He is
bowling at an impressive average
of 22.5 while conceding just 4.3
runs per over.
“I think anyone who can bowl
an allotment of overs effectively,
and score runs in the top six is
an asset, so that’s something I’ve
looked to pride myself on doing,”
said McConchie.
The off-spinner’s efforts –
which have seen him take more
wickets than any other spinner
in the competition – haven’t gone
unnoticed by coach Brendon
Donkers.
“He’s just focused a little more
on it over the winter and trained
a lot smarter . . . I think he’s
putting more on the ball at the
moment, but it’s just his ability
to change his pace and he is an
outstanding fielder off his own
bowling which creates a lot of
pressure,” said Donkers.
He’s also confident McConchie
can return to the batting form
from 2016/17 which saw him hit
two Plunket Shield tons, amassing
491 runs from 11 innings at
an average of 49.
“At that time Gary [Stead] and
I sort of encouraged Cole that he
needed to put a huge emphasis
into his batting because that’s
where his place in the team for
the next 10 years would be. So,
he did that and probably spent
a little less time focusing on his
bowling,” said Donkers.
If he can return to that form
and continue to restrict runs and
strike with the ball the way he
is currently, there’s no doubt he
HOW’S THAT: McConchie
appeals as he dismisses
the Ford Trophy’s top run
scorer Andrew Fletcher. ​
could find himself on the radar
for higher honours.
“It’s definitely a goal of mine.
It’s just about getting that
consistency across both bat and
ball,” said McConchie.
Canterbury have just one Ford
Trophy match remaining when
they play Central Districts in
New Plymouth. The campaign
has been one to forget with just
one win coming from their nine
matches.
Donkers says there has been
positives to take though, particularly
with young opener Jack
Boyle recording an impressive
century and the form of fellow
opener Chad Bowes who is currently
the second top scorer in
the Ford Trophy with 414 runs.
“We haven’t taken wickets in
the first 10 or 15 overs which
can put teams on the back foot,
so we’ve always been trying to
claw the game back through the
middle periods which we’ve done
well,” said Donkers.
However, Canterbury’s wickettaking
stocks could receive a
boost with paceman Ed Nuttall
recently returning to club cricket
following back issues.
Following Saturday’s match
Canterbury will return to fourday
cricket with two rounds of
the Plunket Shield taking place
next month.
With Todd Astle now a regular
for the Black Caps, McConchie
could also see more overs in
four-day cricket.
AT LAST for the first time since
Daniel Vettori’s retirement,
we have a spinner capable of
winning a test match.
Ajaz Patel’s five-wicket haul
in the second innings of New
Zealand’s four-run win over
Pakistan was just a glimmer of
what we can accomplish with a
world-class spinner.
While all that noise we’ve
heard over the past 48 hours has
been about Patel’s performance
being a dream debut, for me it
wasn’t unexpected and was more
of a reassurance he can perform
at an international level.
Unless you’re an avid follower
of domestic four-day cricket,
you could be forgiven for having
not heard of Patel before the
current series against Pakistan.
However, for anyone who has
followed first class cricket,
Patel’s performance wouldn’t
have come as a surprise.
In fact, we should be asking
ourselves why it has taken until
now to see Patel get a chance
with the red ball for the Black
Caps.
Patel’s figures in domestic
cricket in recent years are
unrivalled. He has finished the
past three summers as the top
wicket-taker in the Plunket
Shield with 43, 44 and 48 wickets
each season.
He’s the only spinner in New
Zealand with a bowling average
under 30 (29.82), something
even Vettori didn’t hold at the
end of his career (31.82).
Compare that to Mitchell
Santner’s first class average of
One-eyed Cantab
Gordon Findlater
gordon.findlater@starmedia.kiwi
Patel capable of
taking many more
wickets for NZ
46.18 and Ish Sodhi’s 34.39,
and on the back of a brilliant
debut, there’s good reason
already to elevate Patel to being
our No 1 test spin option for the
summer.
It’s also worth noting his fivewicket
innings on debut is a haul
neither Sodhi nor Santner have
accomplished in a combined 33
tests between them.
With a world-class three and
four combo of Kane Williamson
and Ross Taylor, one of the
best wicketkeeper-batsmen
going around in the form of
BJ Watling, and a pace attack
of Trent Boult, Tim Southee
and Neil Wagner, adding a
spinner capable of ripping
apart a batting line up should
have cricket fans buzzing about
what our test team can achieve
in the next few years. It will
undoubtedly be highlighted
during the three-test series
against Australia in 2019/20,
which included a Boxing Day
test at the MCG.
With Santner and Todd Astle
– whose first class bowling
average of 31.80 would suggest
he’s an upgrade on Santner in
the bowling department – we
also have two genuine spinning
all-rounders.
One thing is certain – if the
Black Caps secure a rare test
series win over Pakistan in the
United Arab Emirates, Patel will
play a key role.
If he continues to bowl like he
has over the last week and the
past three years, there’s a good
chance of it happening.

& Property
You are in the market for a new property,
scrolling the Internet, examining
properties for sale and zeroing in on
those with potential. They might be
in locations that offer cheaper land,
larger houses, or convenience to work
or school. You may have visited show
homes and open homes becoming
confused, overwhelmed or swept
away with emotional factors like having
everything new, or extra features such as
three car garaging.
To be happy with your choice, list the
features that you need, considering:
; Family space – Is there room for
the children to play indoors and
for television and entertainment
units? Should this be open plan or
separated?
; Kitchen – What needs to be in your
kitchen? How serious are you about
a butler’s pantry? Is it a whim or
something that offers a practical
solution to the way you use your
kitchen?
; Bedroom sizes – What are optimum
sizes? Smaller bedrooms may
translate to slightly lower building
costs while extra space can be useful.
When looking at existing homes,
consider whether the size of each
bedroom is sufficient.
; Garaging – A standard double garage
once two cars are parked there offers
little space for the toys. What toys
do you have and could they live with
the lawnmower in a garden shed, a
cheaper option to three car garaging?
If the budget allows and a larger
garage with workshop is important,
make it a selection priority.
; Size of land – Lifestyle properties
offer space for children, pets, hobbies,

What really counts
NEW LISTINGS
an expansive garden and perhaps a
home-run business but they require
work so are not for everyone and
a compact section might be more
sensible if a tight budget or busy
lifestyle.
; Bathrooms – Second and third
bathrooms are great in homes with
teenagers and a wet shower room is
ideal for young children. A bath might
be fashionable though is often not
used and its absence could mean a
more spacious bathroom.
; Laundry – Would a laundry in the
garage do the job?
; Storage – How much storage do you
need? Weigh up what can truly be
stored in the garage once vehicles are
in, a preference in winter. Garages vary
in size so check the size to ensure your
vehicles will fit. Look also at where
else the house offers storage capacity
such as in hall cupboards, a large hot
water cylinder cupboard, wardrobes
(check their width and depth), walk-in
robe, attic storage trusses, as well as
the potential for hooks and shelving
in the garage for bikes, tools, garden
equipment and even kayaks.
; Off-street parking – How many
vehicles can be parked on the
driveway? Will this space be sufficient?
; Garden - Is there sufficient space
for your children to play or for
entertaining?
A checklist will allow you to determine
what will suit your needs, the point of
the exercise, saving you time looking at
properties or potential house designs
while assisting you to decide whether
to buy a new or existing home with
both options having advantages and
disadvantages.
