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

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

A CANTERBURY University law<br />
student being investigated for a<br />
sexual assault has been allowed to<br />
go overseas on a study-related trip.<br />
Bu the university’s dean of<br />
law Ursula Cheer is refusing to<br />
discuss the matter.<br />
“I can’t comment<br />
about any<br />
of this because<br />
of confidentiality<br />
and privacy,” she<br />
told <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
yesterday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> has<br />
learned a female<br />

being allowed to go on the trip.<br />
It is understood it is no the<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> sent a number of questions<br />
to Canterbury University<br />
yesterday but none would be answered.<br />
Said Canterbury University<br />
spokeswoman Margaret Agnew:<br />
“UC cannot respond to allegations<br />
that are before the police.”<br />
She referred the questions<br />
back to Dr Cheer. Her phone was<br />

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

Said Senior Sergeant Larsen:<br />
“<strong>The</strong> bell-shaped curve is going<br />
to keep moving to the older<br />
end of the spectrum as the baby<br />
boomers move through.”<br />
Senior Sergeant Larsen said<br />
breath screening, compulsory<br />
impairment and blood tests,<br />
along with assessments by a<br />
medical practitioner, can all<br />
be used to identify whether a<br />
motorist is<br />
affected by<br />
prescription or<br />
illicit drugs.<br />
Police<br />
can charge<br />
motorists with<br />
driving while<br />
Kelly Larsen<br />
incapable of<br />
proper control<br />
or driving while under the<br />
influence of drugs.<br />
Earlier this month,<br />
Christchurch woman Judith<br />
Knight admitted a charge of<br />
careless driving causing the<br />
death of Jenny Lau, 56, in<br />
February.<br />
Knight, 70, was tired after<br />
taking medication to treat a<br />
wasp sting.<br />
Cannabis, synthetic drugs and<br />
methamphetamine are the illicit<br />
substances often seen by police,<br />
Senior Sergeant Larsen said. If<br />
a motorist is pulled over and<br />
passes an alcohol breath test but<br />
police still have concerns about<br />
their ability to drive safely, they<br />
may ask the driver to complete a<br />
compulsory impairment test.<br />
“We may request a doctor<br />
or medical professional to<br />
conduct a further assessment if<br />
WARNING:<br />
Police say<br />
motorists<br />
affected by prescription<br />
medications are becoming<br />
an “emerging risk” on<br />
Canterbury roads.<br />
someone has passed an alcohol<br />
test, but we know they aren’t<br />
right. First and foremost, our<br />
concern is whether the driver<br />
is demonstrating sufficient<br />
co-ordination and control to be<br />
behind the wheel of a car safely.”<br />
In the Canterbury metro<br />
area, which stretches from<br />
south of the Waimakariri River<br />
to Governors Bay and west<br />
to Hornby, five drug-driving<br />
offences were recorded by police<br />
in 2012.<br />
In 2016 there were 53, and<br />
in 2017 there were 40. In<br />
September, 36 offences had<br />
already been recorded this<br />
year.<br />

Murderer threatened guard<br />
• By Robb Kidd<br />
A MAN WHO bludgeoned a<br />
woman to death with an axe<br />
in her Christchurch home<br />
threatened to kill a prison officer<br />
while being served dinner, a<br />
court has heard.<br />
Stephen James King, 60, is at<br />
present serving a life sentence<br />
at Otago Corrections Facility<br />
for the murder of 45-year-old<br />
Ordette Lloyd-Rangiuia in their<br />
Christchurch home on January<br />
31, 2004.<br />
King – described in reports at<br />
the time as “a career criminal”<br />
with more than 150 convictions<br />
– inflicted 46 injuries to the<br />
victim, including 18 blows to her<br />
head with the blunt end of a logsplitting<br />
axe.<br />
<strong>The</strong> day of the murder was<br />
King’s birthday and he celebrated<br />
by drinking most of a bottle<br />
of tequila and smoking cannabis<br />
and methamphetamine, the<br />
court heard.<br />
<strong>The</strong> defendant was sentenced<br />
to a minimum period of imprisonment<br />
of 16 years, which<br />
lapses in 2021. King came before<br />
the Dunedin District Court last<br />
week after pleading guilty to<br />
threatening to kill.<br />
On August 17, prisoners were<br />
being served their evening meal.<br />
A Corrections officer passed<br />
King’s meal through the small<br />
hatch in his cell door and immediately<br />
found himself on the<br />
end of a tirade.<br />
<strong>The</strong> inmate began abusing two<br />
of the staff members who were<br />
dishing out the food and “when<br />
he saw the victim his demeanour<br />
escalated to rage.”<br />
“In a very angry voice he<br />
looked directly at the victim and<br />
threatened to kill him,” a police<br />
summary of facts said.<br />
Judge Kevin Phillips said the<br />
threat featured obscenities.<br />
When spoken to about the<br />
incident, King said he hated<br />
the victim “with a passion” and<br />
claimed a change in medication<br />
was behind his aggressive demeanour.<br />
He nonetheless called<br />
his comments “banter”.<br />
<strong>The</strong> court heard the Corrections<br />
officer had worked at the<br />
prison for six years and it was<br />
COURT:<br />
Stephen<br />
James King<br />
threatened to<br />
kill a prison<br />
officer while<br />
being served<br />
dinner.<br />
his first experience of such a<br />
threat.<br />
He took it seriously and the incident<br />
had greatly upset his wife,<br />
the judge said.<br />
King was sentenced to six<br />
months’ imprisonment.<br />
<strong>The</strong> term would not affect his<br />
parole-eligibility date but would<br />
be taken into account by the<br />
Parole Board when considering<br />
his suitability for release.<br />

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

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

property manager for Dominion<br />
Breweries from 1982-1992. In<br />
this role I was responsible for<br />
about 148 hotels and taverns<br />
throughout the South Island.<br />
<strong>The</strong> British Hotel was one of<br />
my responsibilities. <strong>The</strong> land<br />
and buildings were owned at<br />
the time by the then Lyttelton<br />
Borough Council, which in turn<br />
was leased to various operators –<br />
Guy Daigneault being one such<br />
party. At the time of starting my<br />
role with DB, the British was<br />
under DB control and sub-leased<br />
to Margaret and Fred Archibald.<br />
I believe they had been<br />
operating the hotel for several<br />
years before starting my role<br />
in DB. Mr and Mrs Archibald<br />
operated the hotel until about<br />
1985 or 1986, not too sure. At<br />
the time of their departure<br />
to take up the lease of the<br />
European Hotel in Dunedin,<br />
DB sold its interest in the British<br />
Hotel. On one occasion, the<br />
United States commander of<br />
an ice breaker wanted to use<br />
the Basement Bar for his crew<br />
and sort out a price with Mr<br />
Archibald. He stated a price<br />
(can’t recall the amount), say<br />
$1000, the commander peeled<br />
off US$1000.<br />
Mr Archibald of course<br />
was referring to New Zealand<br />
dollars. I believe it was a great<br />
night. Another instance was<br />
the upgrade of the tank room,<br />
which needed the floor to be<br />
re-plastered. To do this with<br />
minimal disruption to trade, the<br />
work was undertaken over the<br />
Easter break closing the bar late<br />
Thursday, plastering the floor<br />
on Good Friday. For Saturday<br />
while the plaster was setting,<br />
DB parked a tanker on the street<br />
with a hose feed to the bars –<br />
one brand only. On the Sunday,<br />
I had two carpenters attend to<br />
various repair work.<br />
During a tea break a phone<br />
conversation was heard between<br />
Mr Archibald and what<br />
appeared to be a female with Mr<br />
Archibald laying down the law<br />
as to an outstanding debt. <strong>The</strong><br />
safe was open at the time, with<br />
Mr Archibald asking me if I<br />
noticed anything different about<br />
the safe. To me the safe was like<br />
any other similar safe, common<br />
to pubs. However, Mr Archibald<br />
asked me to follow the line of<br />
the wallpaper above the safe to<br />
the back of the safe. Low and<br />
behold, the safe had no back to it<br />
and apparently this had been the<br />
STAR STRUCK: Martin<br />
McPherson (above) and<br />
Mark Wilson shared a<br />
whisky with Iggy Pop at the<br />
British Hotel in 1979.<br />
HISTORY: <strong>The</strong> British Hotel on the corner of Oxford St and Norwich Quay has a long<br />
and colourful history.<br />
case for many years. I’m sure if<br />
the customers of the British were<br />
aware of this, a quick forward<br />
manoeuvre and its contents<br />
could readily be accessed. Mr<br />
and Mrs Archibald were a great<br />
couple and the British Hotel<br />
continued in safe operational<br />
guidance during their watch.<br />
Jackie Crawford – <strong>The</strong><br />
British Hotel was an exciting<br />
place to go and felt slightly risky<br />
when I arrived in Lyttelton 44<br />
years ago. You never knew who<br />
you would meet or run into.<br />
Even a certain Christchurch<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
head down and quickly left. He<br />
walked out the door and put his<br />
fingers up in a V for victory sign,<br />
then left,” Wilson said.<br />
But as low profile as it was, Iggy<br />
Pop’s foray into Lyttelton soon<br />
became public.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y’re tough as bitches, but<br />
they’re beautiful,” he was quoted<br />
as saying about <strong>The</strong> Androidss in<br />
<strong>The</strong> Press. “It certainly helped out<br />
because we soon up and left to<br />
Auckland,” Wilson said.<br />
Only three members of the<br />
seven-piece band are still around.<br />
<strong>The</strong> article also struck a chord with readers who share their stories about the British<br />
lawyer and friends could be seen<br />
there among the crews from<br />
visiting ships from all around<br />
the world, in the bottom bar<br />
of course. <strong>The</strong>re was a group<br />
of working girls who often<br />
travelled with some crews and<br />
the place was thumping with<br />
people. <strong>The</strong>y were known as<br />
ship girls and they used to travel<br />
around New Zealand on the<br />
ships as a lifestyle choice.<br />
Yes, the British was known<br />
globally with the shipping<br />
industry workers. This was<br />
pre-container ships and had<br />
a lot more workers on board.<br />
Visiting seamen were not really<br />
troublesome but Christchurch<br />
locals were and they sometimes<br />
came over and caused fights.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re was never a dull moment<br />
downstairs in the Dive Bar and<br />
the girls used to spill up the<br />
stairs alongside local fisherman<br />
and a few hard drinking and<br />
singing locals upstairs. It was<br />
not dull and I used to make<br />
a part time income for a few<br />
years selling instant polaroid<br />
photos to the ship girls and their<br />
chosen partner. I missed Iggy<br />
Pop unfortunately, but those<br />
in the know used to check out<br />
the shipping arrivals in the<br />
newspaper to see what the action<br />
was like. All this changed when<br />
container ships became the<br />
norm. However, now all that is<br />
history. I still live in Lyttelton. It<br />
has been gentrified and cleaned<br />
up. It was nice to see the article.

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

Thursday <strong>December</strong> <strong>27</strong> <strong>2018</strong> 15<br />
after the earthquakes<br />
What’s your favourite film?<br />
Probably Fellini’s 8½ still,<br />
although I haven’t seen it in a<br />
long while.<br />
I bet you get really sick of<br />
people mentioning a certain<br />
Hollywood movie star you share<br />
a name with?<br />
Burt Reynolds! Yeah, it’s a<br />
shame about him dying and<br />
all. That’s who you mean, right?<br />
Okay, he’s the bane of my<br />
existence.<br />
How did Gap Filler come<br />
about?<br />
It was started up after the<br />
September 4, 2010, earthquake.<br />
Coralie was working at the Arts<br />
Centre, running the artist-inresidence<br />
programme, and the<br />
Arts Centre made a really quick<br />
decision when the buildings were<br />
badly-damaged to halt all of their<br />
public programmes.<br />
So she was made redundant<br />
almost immediately. I was<br />
employed at the university at<br />
that time, so we were in a really<br />
fortunate position to say don’t<br />
rush into anything, take a bit<br />
of time and see what happens.<br />
I think it was really Coralie<br />
wandering the city and seeing<br />
gap sites where buildings had<br />
been demolished and who knows<br />
how long they would be empty<br />
for.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y were all of our social<br />
gathering spaces, the cheap and<br />
cheerful restaurants, the amateur<br />
dance studios in the upper<br />
floors, the cultural life of the city<br />
had really been damaged more<br />
than the infrastructure in that<br />
September quake. So all credit to<br />
Coralie for hatching the idea for<br />
what became Gap Filler.<br />
We lost our house in the<br />
February quake and just about<br />
everything we owned. <strong>The</strong> scale<br />
of the disaster was so big. We put<br />
out the message on Facebook –<br />
that’s the end of our Gap Filler<br />
experiment. But a bunch of<br />
people got in touch saying, no,<br />
all of the cinemas in the central<br />
city are closed, so you need to do<br />
an outdoor cinema project, the<br />
libraries are closed, so let’s do<br />
some sort of book project.<br />
For the next year and a half,<br />
everything we did was pretty<br />
much someone else’s idea that we<br />
helped facilitate.<br />
What’s your favourite Gap<br />
Filler project so far?<br />
<strong>The</strong>y’re all so different. I really<br />
love the Super Street Arcade<br />
project, the giant arcade game<br />
on Tuam St. That’s been there for<br />
two years, it still gets 300 games<br />
played every day. Hopefully<br />
we might have one going in in<br />
Melbourne early to mid next year<br />
and I think that would get a lot<br />
of attention. So that’s definitely a<br />
favourite. Every time I cycle past<br />
and see the look on people’s faces<br />
discovering it for the first time it<br />
is pretty priceless.<br />
What’s the most recent<br />
project?<br />
Stage one of the slack-lining<br />
space went in on Tuesday last<br />
week. It just finished up end of<br />
last week. <strong>The</strong> soft fall and crash<br />
area is going to be installed<br />
end of January and that will be<br />
complete. We’re working on a<br />
huge project at the moment. It’s<br />
along the edge of Rauora Park,<br />
right by the Margaret Mahy<br />
Playground, we’re building a<br />
detour off the path with a lot of<br />
berms and bumps that runs the<br />
whole length of the track. It’s<br />
about 110m long and you can<br />
ride it on your commuter bike or<br />
a Lime scooter or even if you’re<br />
a pro-BMX rider, there’s still<br />
enough there to be interesting.<br />
That will be finished at the end<br />
of the week. We’re struggling to<br />
find a name, we’re going to put<br />
it out on social media for some<br />
help to choose the name. Both<br />
this track and the slack-lining<br />
park are part of our Placemaking<br />
at One Central programme in<br />
partnership with Fletcher Living.<br />
Was the Gap Filler project<br />
only supposed to be temporary?<br />
In our minds, it was an<br />
earthquake response thing. We<br />
thought there would be six or<br />
12 months of projects that we<br />
would do. <strong>The</strong>n the February<br />
earthquake hit so we thought<br />
there’d be a couple of years of<br />
work to be done. But then the<br />
pace of the rebuild sunk in and<br />
we realised it was going to be<br />
a long haul. In 2013, we got a<br />
call from the Auckland Council<br />
and they said we love what<br />
you’re doing in Christchurch,<br />
can you come up here and help<br />
design a programme of stuff for<br />
us to do up here? We were like<br />
what? We absolutely thought<br />
of ourselves just as a disaster<br />
response initiative. But through<br />
people and getting invited to do<br />
work in Auckland, Melbourne,<br />
Copenhagen, Taiwan and others,<br />
we’ve come to see that a lot of the<br />
top rated cities in the world are<br />
looking for this kind of activity<br />
all the time, not just after a<br />
disaster. Getting citizens more<br />
actively involved in shaping the<br />
places that they live is a huge<br />
current trend and the way of the<br />
future. It’s been a big learning<br />
curve for us, along the way we<br />
realised that gosh, if thriving<br />
cities are wanting us to work with<br />
them, then this way of thinking<br />
can be part of the long term<br />
Christchurch. You look at some<br />
things like the new procurement<br />
policy for the city council that<br />
GAMERS:<br />
Ryan<br />
Reynolds<br />
helped create<br />
the giant<br />
arcade game<br />
on Tuam St,<br />
which he says<br />
was one of<br />
his favourite<br />
projects to<br />
work on.<br />
just came out. Now everyone who<br />
gets a contract with council to<br />
deliver goods and services has to<br />
have a local benefit and social,<br />
cultural and environmental<br />
outcomes in mind. Those sort of<br />
principals we have, empowering<br />
locals and making sure locals are<br />
benefitting alongside the massive<br />
property developments, are now<br />
becoming policy. It’s exciting.<br />
What do you do to relax?<br />
I’m not very good at it, I do<br />
work a lot. <strong>The</strong> kids help. You<br />
can’t be in two places with a<br />
14-month-old and a toddler. You<br />
can’t have split attention or be<br />
trying to do other things, which<br />
is nice. We like to go for walks<br />
around Lyttelton, get out in the<br />
garden, go for bike rides. A lot<br />
of family stuff. One of the things<br />
Coralie and I talk a lot about is<br />
we both enjoy mountain biking<br />
and part of what we like is that<br />
you have to be so focused on<br />
what you’re doing in the moment<br />
that you can’t think about other<br />
things. You can’t wonder what’s<br />
going on at work. Parenting is<br />
much the same.<br />

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

Thursday <strong>December</strong> <strong>27</strong> <strong>2018</strong> 19<br />
your summer vegetables<br />
White mould and mildew<br />
can be a real problem at this<br />
time of year. Treat both with a<br />
baking soda and milk mixture<br />
or a spray registered to control<br />
it. Alternatively, leave it be – it<br />
rarely affects other plants and<br />
courgettes seem to keep cropping<br />
regardless of the disease.<br />
3. Basil<br />
Basil is one of the best summer<br />
herbs and now is the perfect time<br />
to get more planted out to extend<br />
your harvesting season. Look to<br />
seedlings as germinating seed<br />
will take about a month, making<br />
you miss the warm months they<br />
love.<br />
<strong>The</strong> better the soil is, the<br />
better the results will be – blend<br />
in vegetable fertiliser before<br />
planting in the ground or in pots.<br />
While basil prefers a freedraining<br />
soil, it doesn’t like dry<br />
periods, especially when it is<br />
establishing itself. Pinch out the<br />
growing and flowering tips as the<br />
plants begin to mature and plant<br />
plenty – you can never have too<br />
much pesto.<br />
Look out for flavoursome Thai<br />
basil. It’s a hot little number that<br />
adds a real touch of the Orient to<br />
Thai and Indian dishes. You will<br />
find it in the herb aisle.<br />
oN sAle Now!<br />
TASTY: New courgettes can be sown and planted now.<br />
4. Chilli and capsicum<br />
Now is the absolute last chance<br />
to get these in the ground. It’s<br />
too late to sow seeds. Plants will<br />
get cracking quickly as both<br />
chilli and capsicums thrive<br />
when the days are long and hot.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y require all-day sun so find<br />
such a spot in the garden or an<br />
appropriate container site. When<br />
growing in pots, choose a good<br />
quality vegetable mix, and a pot<br />
at least 10 litres in capacity (think<br />
kitchen bucket).<br />
Strawberry or tomato food can<br />
be added as a side-dressing, as<br />
both trigger the flower growth<br />
you need. However, they are<br />
happy in a slightly acidic soil,<br />
it just needs to be warm. Good<br />
drainage is essential. If you are<br />
going away for a few days, do not<br />
be tempted to sit pots in saucers<br />
of water, they hate wet feet.<br />
5. Red sorrel<br />
For something a little tangy<br />
and bright to add to your<br />
salad menu, consider growing<br />
red sorrel. It’s a low-growing<br />
perennial leafy green that has<br />
a slightly bitter flavour, not<br />
dissimilar to rocket. Seeds can<br />
be sown now, and plants will be<br />
available in the herb section of<br />
garden centres. It’s happy to grow<br />
in both sun or part shade and is<br />
shallow-rooted, which makes it<br />
a good option for tubs, planters<br />
and window boxes. A welcome<br />
and colourful addition to a mixed<br />
leaf salad, this often overlooked<br />
plant is worth planting for looks<br />
alone.<br />
6. Spring onions<br />
One of the easiest crops to<br />
grow, spring onions are robust<br />
and reliable greens, which grow<br />
in even the smallest pocket of<br />
earth – be it in bucket, patio tub<br />
or garden. Seedlings are your<br />
best bet. Either plant the entire<br />
cell into one hole or separate<br />
out the individual seedlings and<br />
plant one by one. Aim to plant<br />
them a little deeper, rather than<br />
shallower, so they can anchor<br />
themselves into the ground.<br />
Allow three to four fingers’<br />
distance between each plant.<br />
Look out for the red-stemmed<br />
variety, which looks fabulous and<br />
has a slightly sharper taste.<br />
7. Frilly lettuce<br />
<strong>The</strong> hottest months of the<br />
year are conducive to summer<br />
salads and the best and toughest<br />
lettuces to plant now are frilly<br />
types and cos. Both can cope<br />
with intermittent watering (if you<br />
are away for a few days) and have<br />
a more robust growth habit than<br />
hearting lettuces. Best to hold<br />
off planting or sowing hearting<br />
lettuces until the soil cools down<br />
a smidge, in a month or two. <strong>The</strong><br />
frilly and gem types of lettuce are<br />
great options for tubs and buckets<br />
and, as both are perpetual, you<br />
can harvest them leaf by leaf,<br />
which makes them ideal for the<br />
lunchtime wrap. Seeds can be<br />
sown in the ground or look for<br />
seedlings, of which there are<br />
plenty around.<br />
8. Vietnamese mint<br />
This hardy perennial herb,<br />
salad green and condiment is a<br />
ripper to plant out now. Each leaf<br />
is packed with a spicy flavour<br />
that resembles a combination of<br />
coriander, chilli and kaffir lime<br />
leaf. Being evergreen just adds to<br />
its appeal and, even better, it is<br />
as tough as old boots, surviving<br />
on very little care and attention.<br />
Keep the foliage coming by<br />
planting in a sunny spot and<br />
apply a general garden fertiliser<br />
in spring and autumn. A regular<br />
haircut will keep a fresh supply of<br />
foliage.<br />

Mazda6 Takami a<br />
genuine sports sedan<br />
I’VE OWNED a long<br />
succession of sport sedans,<br />
there’s something about<br />
the concept which really<br />
appeals to me.<br />
One of them was a 1970s<br />
Mazda 808, a conventional<br />
four-cylinder car which<br />
shared its body shell with<br />
the rotary-engined RX3.<br />
My 808 was warmed a little,<br />
which is why I considered<br />
it to be a sports sedan,<br />
it had a mild camshaft,<br />
extractors and a carburettor<br />
re-jetted to get more<br />
fuel into the engine. It was<br />
a cool car and one which I<br />
enjoyed immensely, however,<br />
I always hankered after<br />
a rotary and after a while<br />
the 808 was sold.<br />
With changing fortunes,<br />
that was the only Mazda<br />
I ever owned, unless you<br />
take into account the<br />
investment I’ve made keeping<br />
my son’s RX7 mobile.<br />
Today, Mazda doesn’t<br />
really classify its Mazda6 as<br />
a sports sedan, it is a sedan<br />
(and wagon), but it fits into<br />
the mainstream, albeit a<br />
purposeful car in the first<br />
instance. However, there is<br />
something about the new<br />
Mazda6 range that is different<br />
to what we have seen in<br />
the past. <strong>The</strong> range-topping<br />
Takami has a turbocharger<br />
attached to the 2.5-litre<br />
four-cylinder engine, bearing<br />
in mind, though, the<br />
normally-aspirated Mazda6<br />
is still in the books and it is<br />
the solid seller it has always<br />
been.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Takami, though, is a<br />
step above that, the turbo<br />
boost adds around 30kW<br />
and 168Nm above the<br />
standard outputs, its power<br />
and torque figures register<br />
at 170kW and 420Nm, the<br />
latter available from just<br />
2000rpm. It’s only a low<br />
pressure boost, but it is<br />
enough to provide stimulating<br />
performance and it<br />
does so in an understated<br />
way. <strong>The</strong> Mazda6 as a<br />
series is a car which today<br />
sits on the outer periphery<br />
of the luxury car class, yet<br />
its price is still the bargain<br />
which lures buyers.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Takami sits at<br />
$56,995, while the range<br />
starts at $45,995. Take into<br />
account, too, that there are<br />
also diesel options.<br />
As with all the series, the<br />
Takami drives through a<br />
traditional six-speed automatic<br />
transmission; other<br />
than a driver-selectable<br />
sport mode and paddleshifters,<br />
the transmission<br />
is pretty much standard<br />
fare. I like that, there are no<br />
Motoring<br />
Ross Kiddie<br />
MAZDA6 TAKAMI: Powerful, turbocharged engine.<br />
surprises and no gimmicks,<br />
just clever engineering that<br />
still provides spirited performance<br />
and ease of use<br />
amidst the challenges of<br />
our daily commute.<br />
When given some<br />
freedom, the engine<br />
develops a moderate<br />
thunder from under the<br />
bonnet, it’s not loud, but it<br />
is a throb which lets you<br />
know the turbo is boosting<br />
well and acceleration is<br />
being ushered in vividly.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Takami will reach<br />
100km/h from standstill<br />
in 8.1sec, and will lunge<br />
quickly through a highway<br />
overtake (80km/h to<br />
120km/h in 5.5sec).<br />
• Price – Mazda6<br />
Takami, $56,995<br />
• Dimensions –<br />
Length, 4865mm;<br />
width, 1840mm;<br />
height, 1450mm<br />
• Configuration –<br />
Four-cylinder, frontwheel-drive,<br />
2488cc,<br />
170kW, 420Nm, sixspeed<br />
automatic.<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 8.1sec<br />
• Fuel usage –<br />
7.6l/100km<br />
I didn’t use sport mode<br />
often, the Takami is still<br />
very responsive in normal<br />
mode and has an instant<br />
feel beneath the accelerator.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are many quicker<br />
sedans of this type, but for<br />
my money there are few<br />
that are more civilised nor<br />
refined. That is a Mazda<br />
strength, and if you look<br />
at any model out of the<br />
Mazda stable today, you<br />
will find a huge emphasis<br />
on build quality and<br />
sophistication.<br />
One of the things<br />
that does need to be<br />
remembered if you look<br />
at the Takami as a sport<br />
sedan, is that drive goes<br />
to the road through the<br />
front wheels. In a perfect<br />
world, my definition of the<br />
sport concept is rear-drive,<br />
but the Takami needn’t<br />
be discounted, it has<br />
fabulous handling, and a<br />
balance between power and<br />
handling that is perfectly<br />
matched.<br />
Of course, the Mazda6<br />
has a fully independent<br />
front-strut/rear-multilink<br />
suspension, and the<br />
spring and damper rates<br />
are set for a quality ride<br />
with just moderate firming.<br />
That doesn’t compromise<br />
handling when those tricky<br />
corners arrive. At just 1.4m<br />
tall, the Mazda6 sits low<br />
and, therefore, gravitational<br />
force over the suspension<br />
isn’t huge, there is little<br />
body lean and suspension<br />
control, and balance, is<br />
beautifully engineered.<br />
I took the test car on a<br />
Scenic Highway 72 loop,<br />
thoroughly enjoying its<br />
precision in the corners<br />
and quiet highway motion.<br />
<strong>The</strong> evaluation car was<br />
trimmed in white leather,<br />
with that you get a feeling<br />
of absolute opulence.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s a high specification<br />
level as can be expected<br />
in a $57k car, but it’s the<br />
myriad of little things that<br />
combine in the Mazda6 to<br />
give you that special car<br />
feeling.<br />
If you think the turbocharger<br />
is going to burn<br />
through your fuel, and<br />
money, unnecessarily,<br />
that’s not the case. Mazda<br />
claim a 7.6-litre per 100km<br />
(37mpg) combined cycle<br />
fuel usage rating for the<br />
Takami. <strong>The</strong> evaluation<br />
car’s trip computer<br />
was constantly listing a<br />
9l/100km (31mpg) average<br />
figure, along with<br />
a 5l/100km (56mpg)<br />
instantaneous readout at<br />
100km/h (engine speed<br />
1900rpm).<br />
<strong>The</strong>se are good figures<br />
that combine to provide a<br />
very satisfying drive.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Takami is certainly<br />
my kind of car; if finances<br />
allowed, it may well have<br />
been the model that gets<br />
me into my second Mazda.<br />

Notre<br />

the third<br />
ranked<br />
team<br />
coming<br />
into the<br />
college<br />
football<br />
playoffs. <br />
Helping top US college<br />
athletes go professional<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
THE UNITED States college<br />
football season is about to reach<br />
its climax.<br />
On <strong>December</strong> 30, undefeated<br />
Notre Dame play Clemson for a<br />
spot in the championship final.<br />
And surprisingly Notre Dame<br />
have a Christchurch connection.<br />
In August, James Biddick<br />
started his role as student athlete<br />
career development program<br />
manager at the University of<br />
Notre Dame.<br />
<strong>The</strong> former Canterbury<br />
hockey and age group cricket<br />
rep decided he wanted to help<br />
people and work in sports after<br />
he lost interest in working as a<br />
lawyer at Russell McVeagh in<br />
Auckland.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 36-year-old’s day-to-day<br />
activities now involve managing<br />
720 student athletes across about<br />
20 sports. Biddick’s job is to<br />
guide high profile athletes who<br />
have the end goal of playing<br />
professionally in the NBA, NFL,<br />
NHL or MLB.<br />
“I think the Kiwi attitude<br />
comes in handy there. One,<br />
because I don’t know a lot of<br />
these guys. People are very<br />
passionate about these players,<br />
but they’re 18, 19, 20-yearold<br />
kids in my eyes. Before<br />
I got there, I couldn’t name<br />
one football player, which is<br />
probably a good thing because<br />
I’m there to help them and see<br />
them as a person,” said Biddick.<br />
While he has rubbed<br />
shoulders with many famous<br />
professional athletes in the US,<br />
Biddick still hasn’t crossed paths<br />
with one he would be star struck<br />
by.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> only person I think I’d<br />
get excited or nervous to meet<br />
would be Steven Adams.”<br />
He says meeting Adams<br />
would complete his list of the<br />
big three names he has wanted<br />
to meet since moving to the US.<br />
While studying for a Master of<br />
Sports Administration degree<br />
at Ohio University, Biddick was<br />
able to meet Leigh Steinberg, the<br />
inspiration behind the film Jerry<br />
Maguire, and Maurice Clarett,<br />
RUBBING SHOULDERS: James Biddick met former Ohio<br />
State star running back Maurice Clarett.<br />
a former college football star<br />
who spent time in prison before<br />
becoming a public speaker.<br />
Biddick is currently in<br />
Christchurch visiting family.<br />
When he heads back to Notre<br />
Dame later this week, he will<br />
return for one of the biggest<br />
days on the college football<br />
calendar. About 80,000 people<br />
will cram into AT&T Stadium in<br />
Arlington, Texas, to watch Notre<br />
Dame clash with Clemson in<br />
the Cutton Classic. Notre Dame<br />
are undefeated in 12 games this<br />
year. <strong>The</strong>ir home games attract<br />
about 80,000 fans to each match.<br />
“It’s unlike anything I’ve ever<br />
seen . . . I’ve been to the Rugby<br />
World Cup final in 2011, but<br />
it kind of dwarfs that because<br />
of everything going on outside<br />
the game. <strong>The</strong>re’s obviously a<br />
football game going on, which<br />
everyone is passionate about,<br />
but there’s the band, there’s the<br />
cheerleaders and the tailgating,”<br />
said Biddick.<br />
Tailgating is a social event<br />
held around the open tailgate of<br />
a vehicle. Tailgate parties usually<br />
involve drinking and grilled<br />
food and are held in the parking<br />
lots at stadiums before games.<br />
“Someone estimated they<br />
sometimes have around<br />
200,000-300,000 people<br />
tailgating outside the ground,”<br />
said Biddick.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re’s such a passion<br />
towards the college you went<br />
to. We don’t have that in New<br />
Zealand, maybe your high<br />
school you feel an attachment to<br />
but definitely not university, it’s<br />
so passionate.”<br />
HAYDEN Paddon’s frustrating<br />
situation with Hyundai which<br />
has seen him snubbed in 2019<br />
in favour of the return of former<br />
multiple time world champion<br />
Sebastian Loeb should come<br />
with a silver lining for the sport<br />
in New Zealand.<br />
Paddon’s situation is the latest<br />
kick in the teeth for rally fans.<br />
It only adds insult to injury<br />
over the fact we haven’t had an<br />
event on the WRC calendar<br />
since 2012.<br />
However, there is one positive<br />
for the sport despite these two<br />
big blows. <strong>The</strong> New Zealand<br />
Rally Championship appears to<br />
be as strong as it has been in a<br />
long time with even Australia’s<br />
top talents heading across the<br />
ditch to fine tune their craft.<br />
Long gone are the days of the<br />
1990s and early 2000s when the<br />
likes of Possum Bourne would<br />
go to Australia or compete in<br />
the Asia Pacific series to push<br />
forward their names – both<br />
competitions appear to be dead<br />
in the water when you look at<br />
the number of entrants in recent<br />
years.<br />
Most events in the Australian<br />
Rally Championship this year<br />
Talented Russian to join<br />
Wildcats next season<br />
THE CANTERBURY Wildcats<br />
have acquired the services<br />
of Russian forward Marita<br />
Davydova (right) for next year’s<br />
national women’s basketball<br />
championship.<br />
Davydova is expected to<br />
arrive in Christchurch in March<br />
ahead of the season which starts<br />
in May.<br />
She has represented her<br />
country on numerous occasions.<br />
In 2010, she played at the FIBA<br />
under-17 world championship<br />
in France and then represented<br />
Russia at the under-18<br />
and under-20 European<br />
championships.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 196cm forward went<br />
to Moscow State Agriculture<br />
Academy, then transferred to<br />
Florida International University<br />
for her final two years of college.<br />
She played 61 games over two<br />
seasons with FIU, averaging 10.8<br />
points and 9.2 rebounds a game.<br />
Since graduating in<br />
2015, Davydova has played<br />
One-eyed Cantab<br />

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

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

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

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

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

A CRACKDOWN on mobile<br />

However, the public has li tle<br />
interest in having input into the<br />

Only eight submi sions were<br />
received for a potential bylaw<br />
aimed at regulating commercial<br />
activities in public places.<br />
<strong>The</strong> district council wi l be<br />

Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial<br />
Activities and Events in<br />
Public Places.<br />
A hearing is scheduled to be<br />
held on Thursday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> bylaw comes as an increasing<br />
number of mobile traders<br />
are s eking to operate in Selwyn,<br />
especia ly during the summer<br />
months.<br />
In the past year, the district<br />
council has received five inquiries<br />
about se ting up a mobile busine s<br />

<strong>The</strong> New Zealand Mounted<br />

Mark A pleton and member<br />
Mike Donaldson t ok their<br />
horses to the sch ol on Monday,<br />
in a bid to educate pupils on the<br />

World War 1 and World War 2.<br />

their horses Tommy and Kruze<br />
wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated<br />
to the trust.<br />
<strong>The</strong> presentation is a prelude<br />
to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve<br />
Management Commi t e’s<br />
upcoming Anzac Day service.<br />
As a tribute to those who<br />
served, members of the trust wi l<br />
ride horseback to the service.<br />
Mr A pleton said it was<br />
important children were<br />
educated on what soldiers<br />
wen through during World<br />
War 1 and World War 2.<br />
But he said the presentation<br />
didn’t go into t o much detail<br />
and was more of a “show and<br />

the soldiers l oked like.<br />
Children were shown the type<br />
of kits horses were required to<br />

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

Mayor Lianne Dalziel told the<br />
board on Thursday it had the okay<br />
from the city council to make a<br />
submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies<br />
for a resource consen to create a<br />
qua ry.<br />
Board chairman Mike Mora<br />
told Western News the submi sion<br />
would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s<br />
plan.<br />
“You can just about guarant e<br />
it . because we [the community<br />
board] don’t believe qua ries<br />
should be so close to residential<br />
areas,” he said.<br />
Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if<br />
the city council would endorse the<br />
board’s submi sion.<br />
“I’d like to think so because the<br />
city council has had their eyes<br />
open as we l over recent years over<br />
the crysta line silica risk,” he said.<br />
Mr Mora said the community<br />
board wi l be “representing and<br />
