A haircut to help find Garry a job
PHOTOS: MARTIN HUNTER
• By Georgia O’Connor-
Harding
A FREE haircut has given Garry
Dickey the confidence he needs
to keep applying for jobs.
His new look came courtesy
of Avondale’s Bristol Barbers,
which offered its services for free
last week at the Christchurch
City Mission to help make
Christmas a little brighter for
the homeless and less fortunate.
Mr Dickey, who is currently
unemployed, said haircuts were
usually “too expensive” so he
appreciated the free offer.
After living on the streets
for seven years, he now lives
in a home in the central city,
thanks to an initiative led by
the Christchurch Methodist
Mission.
The initiative, called
Housing First, has helped more
than 30 people into homes this
year.

Prescription
meds
add to
rising
drug-driver
statistics
• By Sophie Cornish
MOTORISTS WHO shouldn’t
be driving after taking
prescription medication may be
playing a role in the increasing
drug-driving statistics.
The latest figures show
the rate of drug-drivers in
Canterbury has increased
almost nine times since
2012.
Road policing operations
manager Senior Sergeant Kelly
Larsen said impaired driving
can come in many different
forms, but motorists affected by
prescription medications
are becoming an “emerging
risk.”
“As we get older, we tend
to take more prescription
medication . . . drivers need
to be aware that prescription
medication can impact on their
ability to drive safely and take
personal responsibility for this,”
she said.
“When your doctor
prescribes a new medication, it’s
important to ask what impact
it might have on your ability
to drive, especially taking
into consideration any other
medication you are already
taking.
“We have an ageing
population – about 126,000
drivers in Canterbury are over
the age of 65.”

A CANTERBURY University law
student being investigated for a
sexual assault has been allowed to
go overseas on a study-related trip.
Bu the university’s dean of
law Ursula Cheer is refusing to
discuss the matter.
“I can’t comment
about any
of this because
of confidentiality
and privacy,” she
told The Star
yesterday.
The Star has
learned a female
student has laid
a complaint abou the accused
being allowed to go on the trip.
It is understood it is no the
same person who has laid the
sexual assault complain to the
police.
The Star has been told it is a
rape investigation.
The Star sent a number of questions
to Canterbury University
yesterday but none would be answered.
Said Canterbury University
spokeswoman Margaret Agnew:
“UC cannot respond to allegations
that are before the police.”
She referred the questions
back to Dr Cheer. Her phone was
turned off.
Police would also not comment
on the matter.
The overseas trip involves
both male and female law students.

Fire rages, homes at risk
City still needs to
conserve water
It may have been a wet start
to the summer but the need to
conserve water remains. “The
frequent rain over the past few
weeks has meant our water use
has stayed largely in the green
zone, which is where we want
it to be,’’ said city council three
waters and waste technical
services manager Tim Drennan.
But he said when the weather
warms up, there is a much
greater chance of being in the
yellow or red zones if water is
not conserved.
Coastal pathway gets
$200k funding boost
The Coastal Pathway is a step
closer to being completed
with a $200,000 grant from
Rātā Foundation. The 6.5km
walking and cycling track,
launched in 2012, will stretch
from Ferrymead to Scarborough
Beach via Redcliffs and Sumner.
The pathway is expected to be
finished by August.
EXPLORE: Two pop-up gardens have been installed in Cathedral Square, one featuring 180 pool noodles and native
plants. A third garden will be created next month.
When noodles meet nature
POOL NOODLES have popped
up in Cathedral Square as part of
a new garden project.
Noodlescape was designed as
part of a competition organised
by city council’s Enliven Places
Programme.
Entrants were asked to come
up with a garden design that
featured a seating area, greenery
and colour within a compact
space.
Noodlescape, which has been
installed near the Distinction
Hotel, is a contemporary garden
based around 180 pool noodles
and native plants
The artists were Thailandbased
GEDES Studio and
charitable trust Greening the
Rubble delivered the project.
Another winner, which has
been installed in the Square, is
Time to Heal.
The garden was designed by
Avonhead School and supported
by Katherine Booker, a motherof-two
and enthusiastic gardener.
She enlisted help from children
at the school to design, build and
plant the garden, including her
son Thomas, a year 6 pupil.
Four planter boxes outline the
space and a central pohutukawa
tree has a 12-sided timber bench
built around it.
The shape was inspired by the
hours of a clock and the four
raised beds are like the points on
a compass.
Herbs, such as thyme and
rosemary, and rongoā (traditional
Māori medicine) plants, fill the
planter boxes.
The third winner was Stained
Glass Pavilion, designed by
Tamsin Harrington and Dirk
Vesser.
It uses tinted acrylic panels set
within a laser-cut steel pergola to
create the look of a stained glass
tunnel surrounded by greenery.
It will be installed in the Square
in January.
City council head of urban
design, regeneration and
heritage Carolyn Ingles said the
pop-up gardens will add a new
element to the Square, making
it more nature-focused and
colourful.
The pop up gardens will
remain in the Square until at
least April.
At the end of the project
the city council will give
consideration to what plants
and other items can be reused or
donated to the community.
However, the Time to
Heal garden will be donated to its
designer Avonhead School.
Work begins on Riccarton
Community Centre
Contractors are set to dig in
at the Riccarton Community
Centre site, after a sod-turning
ceremony for the new $4.5
million facility. The community
centre in Clarence St will replace
the earthquake-damaged
building on the former city
council site next door. The new
facility is on track to open late
next year.
Sports centre expansions
approved by minister
Minister Nanaia Mahuta, acting
for the Minister for Greater
Christchurch Regeneration, has
approved a proposal enabling
further development at the
Christchurch Football Centre in
Yaldhurst. The proposal includes
a new gymnastics centre, an
indoor sports stadium with
multiple courts for sports such
as netball, basketball and futsal,
a swimming pool with diving
and triathlon facilities, and
outdoor fields and courts.

Murderer threatened guard
• By Robb Kidd
A MAN WHO bludgeoned a
woman to death with an axe
in her Christchurch home
threatened to kill a prison officer
while being served dinner, a
court has heard.
Stephen James King, 60, is at
present serving a life sentence
at Otago Corrections Facility
for the murder of 45-year-old
Ordette Lloyd-Rangiuia in their
Christchurch home on January
31, 2004.
King – described in reports at
the time as “a career criminal”
with more than 150 convictions
– inflicted 46 injuries to the
victim, including 18 blows to her
head with the blunt end of a logsplitting
axe.
The day of the murder was
King’s birthday and he celebrated
by drinking most of a bottle
of tequila and smoking cannabis
and methamphetamine, the
court heard.
The defendant was sentenced
to a minimum period of imprisonment
of 16 years, which
lapses in 2021. King came before
the Dunedin District Court last
week after pleading guilty to
threatening to kill.
On August 17, prisoners were
being served their evening meal.
A Corrections officer passed
King’s meal through the small
hatch in his cell door and immediately
found himself on the
end of a tirade.
The inmate began abusing two
of the staff members who were
dishing out the food and “when
he saw the victim his demeanour
escalated to rage.”
“In a very angry voice he
looked directly at the victim and
threatened to kill him,” a police
summary of facts said.
Judge Kevin Phillips said the
threat featured obscenities.
When spoken to about the
incident, King said he hated
the victim “with a passion” and
claimed a change in medication
was behind his aggressive demeanour.
He nonetheless called
his comments “banter”.
The court heard the Corrections
officer had worked at the
prison for six years and it was

his first experience of such a
threat.
He took it seriously and the incident
had greatly upset his wife,
the judge said.
King was sentenced to six
months’ imprisonment.
The term would not affect his
parole-eligibility date but would
be taken into account by the
Parole Board when considering
his suitability for release.

Gillies exhibition

A COMPROMISE has been
made to keep award-winning
artist and costume designer
Jenny Gillies’ exhibition at the
Botanic Gardens.
Her Enchanted Garden will
move from the tea kiosk to the
old information
centre
building,
where it has a
lease for up to
a year.
The exhibition,
which has
been inside the
tea kiosk since Jenny Gillies
December
2016, features about 50 floral
costumes.
Originally, the exhibition was
designed to last six months but
its temporary lease has been
extended three times.
The Canterbury Horticultural
Society was granted a lease to occupy
the tea kiosk on December
6.
City council staff suggested the
kiosk would be better suited as a
community-based space, rather
than for commercial use.
Staff favoured the horticultural
society as it was not deemed to be
a commercial.

THE ANDROIDSS’ Mark
Wilson and former promoter
Martin McPherson recall the
night United States punk icon
Iggy Pop turned up at the British
for The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party
gig.
A leather jacket with an
embroidered tiger on the back
and a denim Greek fisherman’s
hat was the perfect disguise for
Iggy Pop.
It was July 13, 1979, and
Iggy Pop was in Christchurch
promoting his I’m Bored album.
McPherson had organised the
gig, and Christchurch punk band
The Androidss were the headline
act. You weren’t allowed in
without a hat.
McPherson had received a
phone call from Iggy Pop’s
publicity agent, who needed some
local knowledge.
“I suggested that I might be
able to help but they would have
to come to Lyttelton because
I was on my way (to The Mad
Hatter’s Tea Party) and nothing
was going to prevent me from
going to that,” he recalls.
McPherson was working the
door. He didn’t recognise Iggy
Pop and his publicist when they
arrived and they were charged $5
to get in like everyone else.
“I went outside and I was
sitting on the fence and had a
smoke. He came over and we
had a smoke together, we even
swapped T-shirts,” he said.
Inside the hotel, The Androidss
had started playing. McPherson
and Iggy Pop chatted.
“All I can remember is that
distinctive New York accent, it
really stood out. We were talking
about the music scene. He was
really interested in what Lyttelton
and Christchurch were doing,
what we did and what we were
doing.”
The Androidss started playing
Iggy Pop’s The Passenger. “He
went inside and stood in front of
the band,” McPherson said.
Lead guitarist and vocalist
Mark Wilson said the band
played about five Iggy Pop covers
a set, by coincidence.
“I saw this guy and I thought,
what, that guy looks a lot like
Iggy Pop,” he said.
They soon realised it was the
real deal. “He was sitting to the
side of the stage, and we offered
him the mic. He said ‘no man, it’s
your song’.”
When the set was finished,
the band went over to meet
Iggy Pop, who was sitting at a
table, keeping a low profile. They
shared a whisky and chatted.
“He didn’t say much, kept his

News
Now
emembering the British Hotel
The Star’s article on the history of the British Hotel brought back fond memories for The Androidss band member Mark
Wilson and event organiser-turned-Central Otago district councillor Martin McPherson. Julia Evans talks to them about the
time they met the godfather of punk
PASSENGER: Godfather of
punk Iggy Pop watched The
Androidss play at the British
in 1979.
Peter Thompson – I
read your interesting article
in The Star about the British
Hotel. I would like to point
out a few points that might
be of interest to you. I was the
property manager for Dominion
Breweries from 1982-1992. In
this role I was responsible for
about 148 hotels and taverns
throughout the South Island.
The British Hotel was one of
my responsibilities. The land
and buildings were owned at
the time by the then Lyttelton
Borough Council, which in turn
was leased to various operators –
Guy Daigneault being one such
party. At the time of starting my
role with DB, the British was
under DB control and sub-leased
to Margaret and Fred Archibald.
I believe they had been
operating the hotel for several
years before starting my role
in DB. Mr and Mrs Archibald
operated the hotel until about
1985 or 1986, not too sure. At
the time of their departure
to take up the lease of the
European Hotel in Dunedin,
DB sold its interest in the British
Hotel. On one occasion, the
United States commander of
an ice breaker wanted to use
the Basement Bar for his crew
and sort out a price with Mr
Archibald. He stated a price
(can’t recall the amount), say
$1000, the commander peeled
off US$1000.
Mr Archibald of course
was referring to New Zealand
dollars. I believe it was a great
night. Another instance was
the upgrade of the tank room,
which needed the floor to be
re-plastered. To do this with
minimal disruption to trade, the
work was undertaken over the
Easter break closing the bar late
Thursday, plastering the floor
on Good Friday. For Saturday
while the plaster was setting,
DB parked a tanker on the street
with a hose feed to the bars –
one brand only. On the Sunday,
I had two carpenters attend to
various repair work.
During a tea break a phone
conversation was heard between
Mr Archibald and what
appeared to be a female with Mr
Archibald laying down the law
as to an outstanding debt. The
safe was open at the time, with
Mr Archibald asking me if I
noticed anything different about
the safe. To me the safe was like
any other similar safe, common
to pubs. However, Mr Archibald
asked me to follow the line of
the wallpaper above the safe to
the back of the safe. Low and
behold, the safe had no back to it
and apparently this had been the

HISTORY: The British Hotel on the corner of Oxford St and Norwich Quay has a long
and colourful history.
case for many years. I’m sure if
the customers of the British were
aware of this, a quick forward
manoeuvre and its contents
could readily be accessed. Mr
and Mrs Archibald were a great
couple and the British Hotel
continued in safe operational
guidance during their watch.
Jackie Crawford – The
British Hotel was an exciting
place to go and felt slightly risky
when I arrived in Lyttelton 44
years ago. You never knew who
you would meet or run into.

head down and quickly left. He
walked out the door and put his
fingers up in a V for victory sign,
then left,” Wilson said.
But as low profile as it was, Iggy
Pop’s foray into Lyttelton soon
became public.
“They’re tough as bitches, but
they’re beautiful,” he was quoted
as saying about The Androidss in
The Press. “It certainly helped out
because we soon up and left to
Auckland,” Wilson said.
Only three members of the
seven-piece band are still around.
The article also struck a chord with readers who share their stories about the British
lawyer and friends could be seen
there among the crews from
visiting ships from all around
the world, in the bottom bar
of course. There was a group
of working girls who often
travelled with some crews and
the place was thumping with
people. They were known as
ship girls and they used to travel
around New Zealand on the
ships as a lifestyle choice.
Yes, the British was known
globally with the shipping
industry workers. This was
pre-container ships and had
a lot more workers on board.
Visiting seamen were not really
troublesome but Christchurch
locals were and they sometimes
came over and caused fights.
There was never a dull moment
downstairs in the Dive Bar and
the girls used to spill up the
stairs alongside local fisherman
and a few hard drinking and
singing locals upstairs. It was
not dull and I used to make
a part time income for a few
years selling instant polaroid
photos to the ship girls and their
chosen partner. I missed Iggy
Pop unfortunately, but those
in the know used to check out
the shipping arrivals in the
newspaper to see what the action
was like. All this changed when
container ships became the
norm. However, now all that is
history. I still live in Lyttelton. It
has been gentrified and cleaned
up. It was nice to see the article.

Ryan Reynolds
Bringing the city back to life
Gap Filler has led more
than 80 projects to make
the most of vacant sites in
the central city, including
the Dance-O-Mat, Super
Street Arcade and book
exchange. Co-founder
Ryan Reynolds talks to
Julia Evans about his
earthquake refugee
cat Mario and how the
initiative was created
Tell me a little bit about
yourself?
My partner Coralie and I
live in Lyttelton. She was nine
months pregnant the week
before we moved. She’s one of
the Gap Filler founders and ran
the organisation for the first few
years. We lived in Addington
after we lost our house in the
February 22, 2011, earthquake.
We have always been central city
people, but when we lost that
place, we ended up in Addington
for a number of years. Then we
had a baby on the way and we
decided to move to Lyttelton. I
grew up in the United States so
all of my family are overseas and
Coralie grew up in Australia, so
all her family is overseas, and
Lyttelton is just the sort of place
with a reputation that preceded
it where people look out for
one another. Now we have a
three-year-old daughter and a
14-month-old son.
I hear you’ve adopted an
earthquake refugee? How did
your cat Mario come into the
family?
When the house we were living
in on Worcester St, a couple of
blocks from the Cathedral, fell
over it was inside the cordon. A
couple of weeks later, we tried
to salvage some of our stuff out
of the house, possibly illegally.
He’d been hanging around in
our backyard for a couple of
months before the earthquake.
We wondered if he was one of
the neighbours’ cats. When we
went back to the wrecked house,
DESIGNER: Ryan Reynolds helped to set up the Gap Filler project after the earthquakes.
he was there hanging around the
rubble, all covered in dust and it
looked like he hadn’t eaten in a
couple of weeks. We were staying
with some friends who had a
small townhouse in Spreydon, so
we turned up with this cat. We
said: “Sorry, I know we don’t have
much room, but hope you don’t
mind we’ve got a cat?”
How did you go from
electrical engineering to theatre
and film?
Electrical engineering, as it was
taught at my university in the
US, was actually a very creative
discipline. It wasn’t a word that
they ever used at all, but it was a
lot of small group work in the lab,
dreaming up things you might
be able to design and build and
testing things out on paper, then
test circuits and when you hit
something that seems workable,
you take it out into the real world.
So I got a lot of opportunities as a
student to dream of crazy things
and work with a few friends
from start to finish on a project.
I loved that. Then towards the
end of the degree, myself and
all of my friends were being
recruited by giant multi-national
corporations, which have really
strong recruitment programmes.
I was going to be an aerospace
manufacturer, which made
military planes, and I had
other friends ending up with
really huge companies. I moved
to Texas for an internship
experience and was at a facility
where they built military planes.
There were more than 30,000
people that worked there.
That kind of romantic thing
of working in small groups,
thinking up projects and seeing
them through from start to finish
is just not the truth of working in
a company like that. I was young
and stupid and freaked out, so I
decided to run about as far away
as you could and that was to New
Zealand.
So you came to Canterbury
University?
I ended up doing an
exchange in the final year of my
engineering degree. I picked New
Zealand because it was far away
and no one else was coming here.
So Canterbury University was
also an engineering university.
In the US tertiary system,
everyone needs to get some arts
points, even if you’re getting an
engineering degree. When I got
to Canterbury, I didn’t need any
more engineering credits, so I
got involved in various arts and
humanities. The theatre and film
studies programme was where I
landed, they offered me a postgraduate
position and I never
looked back.

after the earthquakes
What’s your favourite film?
Probably Fellini’s 8½ still,
although I haven’t seen it in a
long while.
I bet you get really sick of
people mentioning a certain
Hollywood movie star you share
a name with?
Burt Reynolds! Yeah, it’s a
shame about him dying and
all. That’s who you mean, right?
Okay, he’s the bane of my
existence.
How did Gap Filler come
about?
It was started up after the
September 4, 2010, earthquake.
Coralie was working at the Arts
Centre, running the artist-inresidence
programme, and the
Arts Centre made a really quick
decision when the buildings were
badly-damaged to halt all of their
public programmes.
So she was made redundant
almost immediately. I was
employed at the university at
that time, so we were in a really
fortunate position to say don’t
rush into anything, take a bit
of time and see what happens.
I think it was really Coralie
wandering the city and seeing
gap sites where buildings had
been demolished and who knows
how long they would be empty
for.
They were all of our social
gathering spaces, the cheap and
cheerful restaurants, the amateur
dance studios in the upper
floors, the cultural life of the city
had really been damaged more
than the infrastructure in that
September quake. So all credit to
Coralie for hatching the idea for
what became Gap Filler.
We lost our house in the
February quake and just about
everything we owned. The scale
of the disaster was so big. We put
out the message on Facebook –
that’s the end of our Gap Filler
experiment. But a bunch of
people got in touch saying, no,
all of the cinemas in the central
city are closed, so you need to do
an outdoor cinema project, the
libraries are closed, so let’s do
some sort of book project.
For the next year and a half,
everything we did was pretty
much someone else’s idea that we
helped facilitate.
What’s your favourite Gap
Filler project so far?
They’re all so different. I really
love the Super Street Arcade
project, the giant arcade game
on Tuam St. That’s been there for
two years, it still gets 300 games
played every day. Hopefully
we might have one going in in
Melbourne early to mid next year
and I think that would get a lot
of attention. So that’s definitely a
favourite. Every time I cycle past
and see the look on people’s faces
discovering it for the first time it
is pretty priceless.
What’s the most recent
project?
Stage one of the slack-lining
space went in on Tuesday last
week. It just finished up end of
last week. The soft fall and crash
area is going to be installed
end of January and that will be
complete. We’re working on a
huge project at the moment. It’s
along the edge of Rauora Park,
right by the Margaret Mahy
Playground, we’re building a
detour off the path with a lot of
berms and bumps that runs the
whole length of the track. It’s
about 110m long and you can
ride it on your commuter bike or
a Lime scooter or even if you’re
a pro-BMX rider, there’s still
enough there to be interesting.
That will be finished at the end
of the week. We’re struggling to
find a name, we’re going to put
it out on social media for some
help to choose the name. Both
this track and the slack-lining
park are part of our Placemaking
at One Central programme in
partnership with Fletcher Living.
Was the Gap Filler project
only supposed to be temporary?
In our minds, it was an
earthquake response thing. We
thought there would be six or
12 months of projects that we
would do. Then the February
earthquake hit so we thought
there’d be a couple of years of
work to be done. But then the
pace of the rebuild sunk in and
we realised it was going to be
a long haul. In 2013, we got a
call from the Auckland Council
and they said we love what
you’re doing in Christchurch,
can you come up here and help
design a programme of stuff for
us to do up here? We were like
what? We absolutely thought
of ourselves just as a disaster
response initiative. But through
people and getting invited to do
work in Auckland, Melbourne,
Copenhagen, Taiwan and others,
we’ve come to see that a lot of the
top rated cities in the world are
looking for this kind of activity
all the time, not just after a
disaster. Getting citizens more
actively involved in shaping the
places that they live is a huge
current trend and the way of the
future. It’s been a big learning
curve for us, along the way we
realised that gosh, if thriving
cities are wanting us to work with
them, then this way of thinking
can be part of the long term
Christchurch. You look at some
things like the new procurement
policy for the city council that
GAMERS:

Reynolds
helped create
the giant
arcade game
on Tuam St,
which he says
was one of
his favourite
projects to
work on.
just came out. Now everyone who
gets a contract with council to
deliver goods and services has to
have a local benefit and social,
cultural and environmental
outcomes in mind. Those sort of
principals we have, empowering
locals and making sure locals are
benefitting alongside the massive
property developments, are now
becoming policy. It’s exciting.
What do you do to relax?
I’m not very good at it, I do
work a lot. The kids help. You
can’t be in two places with a
14-month-old and a toddler. You
can’t have split attention or be
trying to do other things, which
is nice. We like to go for walks
around Lyttelton, get out in the
garden, go for bike rides. A lot
of family stuff. One of the things
Coralie and I talk a lot about is
we both enjoy mountain biking
and part of what we like is that
you have to be so focused on
what you’re doing in the moment
that you can’t think about other
things. You can’t wonder what’s
going on at work. Parenting is
much the same.

Tips for planting and harvesting
January can be a busy
time in the vegetable
patch. Rachel Vogan
gives a few tips on
when to water, plant
and – what we’ve all
been waiting for –
harvest
NUMEROUS CROPS will be
actively growing and producing a
hearty harvest this month.
To keep them flourishing, keep
an eye out for pests and diseases.
As soon as you spot something,
deal with it – turning your
back on it will not remedy the
problem.
Keep the fluids up in your
garden, whether it be with water,
worm tea or liquid fertiliser.
Deep watering is ideal and only
required every second or third
day in good soils. In poor, dry or
dusty soils, it may be required to
water on a daily basis.
If crops seem to be looking a
little flat, with foliage turning
yellow and growth is slow, it
is more than likely the soil is
lacking in nutrients. Remedy this
with an application of vegetable
fertiliser, liquid manure or
seaweed tonics.
Tips for harvesting
•Harvest or pick as close to
eating as possible. By doing this
you are ensuring the best possible
flavour and the ultimate amount
of nutrition.
•Harvest at the beginning
or end of the day, when the
temperatures are cooler.
•Allow crops to fully ripen
on the plant before harvesting,
especially crops like tomatoes,
beans, peas and eggplants.
•If you have an abundance or
excess amount of produce, share
it around, offer it to neighbours,
friends, family or the team at
work.
1. Beetroot
This superhero of a crop is
a good one to plant or sow
now. Prepare the ground in
advance so it is loose and
friable – essentially crumb-like.
If other crops have been in the
soil previously this season, add
in some more gutsy compost
or manure to give the soil a
boost and to help it hold on to
moisture.
Space seedlings about a hand
span apart and, when sowing
seeds, keep the row wellwatered
as this will speed up
the germination process (the
seed coat is quite hard). Harvest
can begin as soon they look big
enough to eat. Baby beets are
sweeter and, if left in the ground
to fully mature, intensify in
flavour. Be generous when
planting or sowing so you have
plenty of menu options.
2. Courgettes and
scallopini
New courgettes and scallopini
can be sown and planted out
now. These crops need a bit of
room to move, so best to provide
them with 1 sq m in the garden.
Seeds germinate in a fortnight
and are ready to plant out within
a month or so. Seedlings should
still be in the shops.
While they grow happily in a
container, they need a big one to
support the big meaty foliage and
have enough root room.

your summer vegetables
White mould and mildew
can be a real problem at this
time of year. Treat both with a
baking soda and milk mixture
or a spray registered to control
it. Alternatively, leave it be – it
rarely affects other plants and
courgettes seem to keep cropping
regardless of the disease.
3. Basil
Basil is one of the best summer
herbs and now is the perfect time
to get more planted out to extend
your harvesting season. Look to
seedlings as germinating seed
will take about a month, making
you miss the warm months they
love.
The better the soil is, the
better the results will be – blend
in vegetable fertiliser before
planting in the ground or in pots.
While basil prefers a freedraining
soil, it doesn’t like dry
periods, especially when it is
establishing itself. Pinch out the
growing and flowering tips as the
plants begin to mature and plant
plenty – you can never have too
much pesto.
Look out for flavoursome Thai
basil. It’s a hot little number that
adds a real touch of the Orient to
Thai and Indian dishes. You will
find it in the herb aisle.
oN sAle Now!
TASTY: New courgettes can be sown and planted now.
4. Chilli and capsicum
Now is the absolute last chance
to get these in the ground. It’s
too late to sow seeds. Plants will
get cracking quickly as both
chilli and capsicums thrive
when the days are long and hot.
They require all-day sun so find
such a spot in the garden or an
appropriate container site. When
growing in pots, choose a good
quality vegetable mix, and a pot
at least 10 litres in capacity (think
kitchen bucket).
Strawberry or tomato food can
be added as a side-dressing, as
both trigger the flower growth
you need. However, they are
happy in a slightly acidic soil,
it just needs to be warm. Good
drainage is essential. If you are
going away for a few days, do not
be tempted to sit pots in saucers
of water, they hate wet feet.
5. Red sorrel
For something a little tangy
and bright to add to your
salad menu, consider growing
red sorrel. It’s a low-growing
perennial leafy green that has
a slightly bitter flavour, not
dissimilar to rocket. Seeds can
be sown now, and plants will be
available in the herb section of
garden centres. It’s happy to grow
in both sun or part shade and is
shallow-rooted, which makes it
a good option for tubs, planters
and window boxes. A welcome
and colourful addition to a mixed
leaf salad, this often overlooked
plant is worth planting for looks
alone.
6. Spring onions
One of the easiest crops to
grow, spring onions are robust
and reliable greens, which grow
in even the smallest pocket of
earth – be it in bucket, patio tub
or garden. Seedlings are your
best bet. Either plant the entire
cell into one hole or separate
out the individual seedlings and
plant one by one. Aim to plant
them a little deeper, rather than
shallower, so they can anchor
themselves into the ground.
Allow three to four fingers’
distance between each plant.
Look out for the red-stemmed
variety, which looks fabulous and
has a slightly sharper taste.
7. Frilly lettuce
The hottest months of the
year are conducive to summer
salads and the best and toughest
lettuces to plant now are frilly
types and cos. Both can cope
with intermittent watering (if you
are away for a few days) and have
a more robust growth habit than
hearting lettuces. Best to hold
off planting or sowing hearting
lettuces until the soil cools down
a smidge, in a month or two. The
frilly and gem types of lettuce are
great options for tubs and buckets
and, as both are perpetual, you
can harvest them leaf by leaf,
which makes them ideal for the
lunchtime wrap. Seeds can be
sown in the ground or look for
seedlings, of which there are
plenty around.
8. Vietnamese mint
This hardy perennial herb,
salad green and condiment is a
ripper to plant out now. Each leaf
is packed with a spicy flavour
that resembles a combination of
coriander, chilli and kaffir lime
leaf. Being evergreen just adds to
its appeal and, even better, it is
as tough as old boots, surviving
on very little care and attention.
Keep the foliage coming by
planting in a sunny spot and
apply a general garden fertiliser
in spring and autumn. A regular
haircut will keep a fresh supply of
foliage.

Mazda6 Takami a
genuine sports sedan
I’VE OWNED a long
succession of sport sedans,
there’s something about
the concept which really
appeals to me.
One of them was a 1970s
Mazda 808, a conventional
four-cylinder car which
shared its body shell with
the rotary-engined RX3.
My 808 was warmed a little,
which is why I considered
it to be a sports sedan,
it had a mild camshaft,
extractors and a carburettor
re-jetted to get more
fuel into the engine. It was
a cool car and one which I
enjoyed immensely, however,
I always hankered after
a rotary and after a while
the 808 was sold.
With changing fortunes,
that was the only Mazda
I ever owned, unless you
take into account the
investment I’ve made keeping
my son’s RX7 mobile.
Today, Mazda doesn’t
really classify its Mazda6 as
a sports sedan, it is a sedan
(and wagon), but it fits into
the mainstream, albeit a
purposeful car in the first
instance. However, there is
something about the new
Mazda6 range that is different
to what we have seen in
the past. The range-topping
Takami has a turbocharger
attached to the 2.5-litre
four-cylinder engine, bearing
in mind, though, the
normally-aspirated Mazda6
is still in the books and it is
the solid seller it has always
been.
The Takami, though, is a
step above that, the turbo
boost adds around 30kW
and 168Nm above the
standard outputs, its power
and torque figures register
at 170kW and 420Nm, the
latter available from just
2000rpm. It’s only a low
pressure boost, but it is
enough to provide stimulating
performance and it
does so in an understated
way. The Mazda6 as a
series is a car which today
sits on the outer periphery
of the luxury car class, yet
its price is still the bargain
which lures buyers.
The Takami sits at
$56,995, while the range
starts at $45,995. Take into
account, too, that there are
also diesel options.
As with all the series, the
Takami drives through a
traditional six-speed automatic
transmission; other
than a driver-selectable
sport mode and paddleshifters,
the transmission
is pretty much standard
fare. I like that, there are no
Motoring

MAZDA6 TAKAMI: Powerful, turbocharged engine.
surprises and no gimmicks,
just clever engineering that
still provides spirited performance
and ease of use
amidst the challenges of
our daily commute.
When given some
freedom, the engine
develops a moderate
thunder from under the
bonnet, it’s not loud, but it
is a throb which lets you
know the turbo is boosting
well and acceleration is
being ushered in vividly.
The Takami will reach
100km/h from standstill
in 8.1sec, and will lunge
quickly through a highway
overtake (80km/h to
120km/h in 5.5sec).
• Price – Mazda6
Takami, $56,995
• Dimensions –
Length, 4865mm;
width, 1840mm;
height, 1450mm
• Configuration –
Four-cylinder, frontwheel-drive,
2488cc,
170kW, 420Nm, sixspeed
automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 8.1sec
• Fuel usage –
7.6l/100km
I didn’t use sport mode
often, the Takami is still
very responsive in normal
mode and has an instant
feel beneath the accelerator.
There are many quicker
sedans of this type, but for
my money there are few
that are more civilised nor
refined. That is a Mazda
strength, and if you look
at any model out of the
Mazda stable today, you
will find a huge emphasis
on build quality and
sophistication.
One of the things
that does need to be
remembered if you look
at the Takami as a sport
sedan, is that drive goes
to the road through the
front wheels. In a perfect
world, my definition of the
sport concept is rear-drive,
but the Takami needn’t
be discounted, it has
fabulous handling, and a
balance between power and
handling that is perfectly
matched.
Of course, the Mazda6
has a fully independent
front-strut/rear-multilink
suspension, and the
spring and damper rates
are set for a quality ride
with just moderate firming.
That doesn’t compromise
handling when those tricky
corners arrive. At just 1.4m
tall, the Mazda6 sits low
and, therefore, gravitational
force over the suspension
isn’t huge, there is little
body lean and suspension
control, and balance, is
beautifully engineered.
I took the test car on a
Scenic Highway 72 loop,
thoroughly enjoying its
precision in the corners
and quiet highway motion.
The evaluation car was
trimmed in white leather,
with that you get a feeling
of absolute opulence.
There’s a high specification
level as can be expected
in a $57k car, but it’s the
myriad of little things that
combine in the Mazda6 to
give you that special car
feeling.
If you think the turbocharger
is going to burn
through your fuel, and
money, unnecessarily,
that’s not the case. Mazda
claim a 7.6-litre per 100km
(37mpg) combined cycle
fuel usage rating for the
Takami. The evaluation
car’s trip computer
was constantly listing a
9l/100km (31mpg) average
figure, along with
a 5l/100km (56mpg)
instantaneous readout at
100km/h (engine speed
1900rpm).
These are good figures
that combine to provide a
very satisfying drive.
The Takami is certainly
my kind of car; if finances
allowed, it may well have
been the model that gets
me into my second Mazda.

Notre
Dame are
the third
ranked
team
coming
into the
college
football
playoffs.
Helping top US college
athletes go professional
• By Gordon Findlater
THE UNITED States college
football season is about to reach
its climax.
On December 30, undefeated
Notre Dame play Clemson for a
spot in the championship final.
And surprisingly Notre Dame
have a Christchurch connection.
In August, James Biddick
started his role as student athlete
career development program
manager at the University of
Notre Dame.
The former Canterbury
hockey and age group cricket
rep decided he wanted to help
people and work in sports after
he lost interest in working as a
lawyer at Russell McVeagh in
Auckland.
The 36-year-old’s day-to-day
activities now involve managing
720 student athletes across about
20 sports. Biddick’s job is to
guide high profile athletes who
have the end goal of playing
professionally in the NBA, NFL,
NHL or MLB.
“I think the Kiwi attitude
comes in handy there. One,
because I don’t know a lot of
these guys. People are very
passionate about these players,
but they’re 18, 19, 20-yearold
kids in my eyes. Before
I got there, I couldn’t name
one football player, which is
probably a good thing because
I’m there to help them and see
them as a person,” said Biddick.
While he has rubbed
shoulders with many famous
professional athletes in the US,
Biddick still hasn’t crossed paths
with one he would be star struck
by.
“The only person I think I’d
get excited or nervous to meet
would be Steven Adams.”
He says meeting Adams
would complete his list of the
big three names he has wanted
to meet since moving to the US.
While studying for a Master of
Sports Administration degree
at Ohio University, Biddick was
able to meet Leigh Steinberg, the
inspiration behind the film Jerry
Maguire, and Maurice Clarett,
RUBBING SHOULDERS: James Biddick met former Ohio
State star running back Maurice Clarett.
a former college football star
who spent time in prison before
becoming a public speaker.
Biddick is currently in
Christchurch visiting family.
When he heads back to Notre
Dame later this week, he will
return for one of the biggest
days on the college football
calendar. About 80,000 people
will cram into AT&T Stadium in
Arlington, Texas, to watch Notre
Dame clash with Clemson in
the Cutton Classic. Notre Dame
are undefeated in 12 games this
year. Their home games attract
about 80,000 fans to each match.
“It’s unlike anything I’ve ever
seen . . . I’ve been to the Rugby
World Cup final in 2011, but
it kind of dwarfs that because
of everything going on outside
the game. There’s obviously a
football game going on, which
everyone is passionate about,
but there’s the band, there’s the
cheerleaders and the tailgating,”
said Biddick.
Tailgating is a social event
held around the open tailgate of
a vehicle. Tailgate parties usually
involve drinking and grilled
food and are held in the parking
lots at stadiums before games.
“Someone estimated they
sometimes have around
200,000-300,000 people
tailgating outside the ground,”
said Biddick.
“There’s such a passion
towards the college you went
to. We don’t have that in New
Zealand, maybe your high
school you feel an attachment to
but definitely not university, it’s
so passionate.”
HAYDEN Paddon’s frustrating
situation with Hyundai which
has seen him snubbed in 2019
in favour of the return of former
multiple time world champion
Sebastian Loeb should come
with a silver lining for the sport
in New Zealand.
Paddon’s situation is the latest
kick in the teeth for rally fans.
It only adds insult to injury
over the fact we haven’t had an
event on the WRC calendar
since 2012.
However, there is one positive
for the sport despite these two
big blows. The New Zealand
Rally Championship appears to
be as strong as it has been in a
long time with even Australia’s
top talents heading across the
ditch to fine tune their craft.
Long gone are the days of the
1990s and early 2000s when the
likes of Possum Bourne would
go to Australia or compete in
the Asia Pacific series to push
forward their names – both
competitions appear to be dead
in the water when you look at
the number of entrants in recent
years.

Talented Russian to join
Wildcats next season
THE CANTERBURY Wildcats
have acquired the services
of Russian forward Marita
Davydova (right) for next year’s
national women’s basketball
championship.
Davydova is expected to
arrive in Christchurch in March
ahead of the season which starts
in May.
She has represented her
country on numerous occasions.
In 2010, she played at the FIBA
under-17 world championship
in France and then represented
Russia at the under-18
and under-20 European
championships.
The 196cm forward went
to Moscow State Agriculture
Academy, then transferred to
Florida International University
for her final two years of college.
She played 61 games over two
seasons with FIU, averaging 10.8
points and 9.2 rebounds a game.
Since graduating in
2015, Davydova has played

Paddon’s axing
silver lining for
New Zealand
had just 30 to 50 entrants.
Compare that to the NZ
championship which had 61
entrants at its least popular
event in the Coromandel and
150 at the most popular event in
Otago.
With Paddon set to compete
in at least a healthy chunk of
the 2019 season, the time to let
the world know that the NZ
championship is the best in the
Southern Hemisphere is now.
How do we go about it?
The simple answer with motorsport
is usually money.
There needs to be a visible
pathway in the championship
for those wanting to go onto the
world stage. We’ve had it in the
past with the Pirelli Star Driver
programme which helped open
the door for Paddon.With the
best drivers in not just New Zealand
but Australasia competing
here there’s every reason teams
in Europe should be taking
notice of our championship.
Paddon may be off the world
stage for now in spite of a
limited 2018 campaign, but let’s
make the most of what he’s done
for the sport as a whole on home
shores.
professionally in several
countries including Spain,
Russia and Ecuador.
The Wildcats will play
three games over the
opening weekend of the
competition from May 10-12
in Christchurch. Then the six
teams will play a minimum
of three home games in the
10-game regular season. The
competition will reach its
climax with a finals weekend in
Auckland from July 4-6.

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand
has b en a proached in a bid to
fina ly repair the potholes in New
Brighton’s Hawke St car park.
Coastal-Burw od Ward city
counci lor David East wants
WorkSafe to pre sure the car
park’s private owners into
repairing the potholes which are
a “trip and vehicle” hazard.
WorkSafe chief inspector
a se sments southern Da ren
Handforth said it may be able to
take action under the Health and
Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a
person conducting a busine s or
undertaking.”
Mr Handforth said WorkSafe
is aware of the concerns raised by
Cr East abou the car park.
“WorkSafe has completed
an a se sment visi to the site
and is engaging with the owner
to advise them that it is their
responsibility to manage their
risks a propriately.”
Different parts of the car park
are owned by various people
and the Coastal-Burw od
Community Board recently
wrote to them about its concerns
around health and safety.
Cr East said the bi gest i sue
in the past has b en ge ting in
touch with the landlords and
owners and ge ting them to
agr e to anything. “The board
a preciates that multi-ownership
of the parking space may present
a difficulty in co-ordinating
repair/resurfacing but felt obliged
to pa s these concerns onto you,”
said the le ter.
One reply has b en received so
far from an owner who is wi ling
to discu s the i sue. However, a l
the owners would have to agr e
to undertake work.
Cr East said there had b en
a “number of incidences” in
the car park of people injuring
themselves which had gone
unreported.
“I’ve always though that it
has b en quite amazing that we
haven’t had any serious a cidents
or senior citizens perhaps
tri ping in those potholes and
doing themselves some damage.”
He is confiden the new
a proach wi l bring results.
“I think the WorkSafe
involvement may prove to be the
lever that we are l oking for.”

Signatures are being co lected
in a bid to get funding for a community
facility in Shirley.
It comes after the city council
removed funding for the centre
planned for Shirley Rd, near the
intersection with Hi ls Rd. This
was the site of the former community
centre, which was badly
damaged in the February 2,
20 1, earthquake.
The removal o funding
prompted community board
chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten
to stand down, citing it as her “die
in the ditch” project.
Ms Jones said the board’s role
is to represen the community,
and by gathering signatures from
residents, it was fulfi ling that
role.
“One of the roles of a community
board is to represent and act
as advocate for the interests of its
community and this is what we
are doing. The LTP and annual
plans are a l about lo bying the
council.”

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

A WOOLSTON butcher proved
to be a cut above the rest in an
international competition.
New World Fe ry Rd butcher
Jeremy Garth and his team, the
Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently
came second a the World
Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern
Ireland.
It was the firs time Mr Garth
had competed in the cha lenge
and he was “rea ly proud” of
how the team performed.
“We produced some top quality
products and came away
with a g od result so we’re very
ha py,” he said.
The preparation for this year’s
World Butchers’ Cha lenge was
intense as the team members
met in Auckland every two
months for lengthy w ekend
practices.
Mr Garth, who has b en a
butcher for 14 years, said the
competition brought back his
pa sion for the job.
“Doing a l this stuff and
m eting new people, s eing new
ideas, it just brings that flair
back for you,” he said.
Mr Garth hopes to own a
butcher shop of his own someday
but says for now he wi l focus
on ge ting more experience
and on the 2020 cha lenge.
“In two years’ time, we’ l be
going back to try and win the
title,” he said.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile
traders acro s the districts could
be l oming.
However, the public has li tle
interest in having input into the
i sue.
Only eight submi sions were
received for a potential bylaw
aimed at regulating commercial
activities in public places.
The district council wi l be
holding a hearing for the Public
Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial
Activities and Events in
Public Places.
A hearing is scheduled to be
held on Thursday.
The bylaw comes as an increasing
number of mobile traders
are s eking to operate in Selwyn,
especia ly during the summer
months.
In the past year, the district
council has received five inquiries
about se ting up a mobile busine s
on private or public land.
A report said there are two
str et operators in Darfield, a
coff e cart is parked beside the
railway in Ro leston, and a pi za
cart visits Lincoln w ekly betw en

Pupils learn about role of war horses
GREENDALE SCHOOL pupils

s eing first hand what men and
horses l oked like during war.
The New Zealand Mounted
Rifles Charitable Trust president
Mark A pleton and member
Mike Donaldson t ok their
horses to the sch ol on Monday,
in a bid to educate pupils on the
sacrifice their ancestors made in
World War 1 and World War 2.
Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson
a rived a the sch ol dre sed
in World War 1 uniforms while
their horses Tommy and Kruze
wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated
to the trust.
The presentation is a prelude
to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve
Management Commi t e’s
upcoming Anzac Day service.
As a tribute to those who
served, members of the trust wi l
ride horseback to the service.
Mr A pleton said it was
important children were
educated on what soldiers
wen through during World
War 1 and World War 2.
But he said the presentation
didn’t go into t o much detail
and was more of a “show and
te l” to make them aware of what
the soldiers l oked like.
Children were shown the type
of kits horses were required to
wear in the war.

AN U PER Ri carton butcher
has proven himself to be a cut
above his Au sie rivals at an
international competition.
Elite Meats owner Corey
Winder was named in the a l
star team a the World Butchers’
Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.
Mr Winder and his team, the
Pure South Sharp Blacks, which
includes W olston butcher
Jeremy Garth, finished second
in the competition.
He said the cha lenge started
as a “transtasman test match”
seven years ago.
The preparation for this
year’s World Butchers’ Challenge
was intense as the team
members met in Auckland
every two months for lengthy
w ekend practices. Mr Winder
said coming second against 1
other countries was a “fantastic”
result.
“To get second behind Ireland
was a huge achievement and to
be ahead of Australia is an
even bi ger thing for us,” he
said.
But Mr Winder admires the
Australian team.
“Those guys over there
[Australia] are on top of their
game, they do a g od job,” he
said.
“And it just showcases that
New Zealand has got some
of the best butchers in the
world,” he said.
Mr Winder has b en a butcher

Board chairman Mike Mora
told Western News the submi sion
would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s

“You can just about guarant e
it . because we [the community

areas,” he said.
Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if
the city council would endorse the
board’s submi sion.
“I’d like to think so because the
city council has had their eyes

the crysta line silica risk,” he said.
Mr Mora said the community

REDEVELOPMENT work is underway at
the Hornby WMC with seemingly next to
no impact on general club business.
Especially so when you look at the club
entertainment calendar.
2019 has some great acts secured
starting with celebrated international
singer-songwriter Sharon O’Neill.
Sharon is touring in the New Year with
only one Christchurch appearance. She
plays at the club on Sunday 17th February
where she will be showcasing ‘the songs
and their stories’ with a live 9 piece band.
2pm start. Tickets $69.
