Good news on Megan’s health 

• By Julia Evans 

Donation presented to surf 

club 45 years after rescue 

• By Sophie Cornish 

FORTY-FIVE YEARS ago 

Leonie Dunstan was rescued by 

surf life savers from a potential 

deadly rip at Waimairi Beach. 

Now she and husband Bruce, 

who was also in the water on that 

hot December 1973 day, have 

paid the club back. 

The Dunstans, now in their 

70s, have donated $2000 to the 

Waimairi Beach Surf Life Saving 

Club. They gave a smaller donation 

to the club in the days after 

the rescue. 

“We are thinking about our 

wills and are in a position to 

recognise some organisations we 

have been part of over the years 

or who have helped us in some 

way. So, we were able to make a 

more significant donation,” said 

Mr Dunstan. 

The Dunstans remember the 

day vividly. 

Mr Dunstan managed to get 

out of the rip and got to shore. 

“I looked back and Leonie 

was going further out with her 

arm up in the air, signalling difficulty,” 

he said this week. 

Said Mrs Dunstan: “I felt like 

I was in a tumble-dryer. Being 

so short, I couldn’t touch the 

ground. I came up for air once, 

and then I went under again. 

It was like being in a washing 

machine.” 

Mr Dunstan said he knew he 

had to get help. 

“I knew I wasn’t the person to

Megan Hore is still in remission. 

The 19-year-old daughter 

of well-known blind organist 

Richard Hore was declared 

cancer-free in October after battling

a year. 

A trip to the specialist on 

Tuesday revealed she is still in 

remission.

every three months for the 

next five years to test for cancer

swimmer than me, so I ran up the 

beach, calling for help . . . it was the 

best beach sprint of my life!” 

Two lifeguards went out and 

rescued Mrs Dunstan, using a 

flotation device. 

Said Mrs Dunstan: “We lay on 

the beach for a few hours, reflecting 

on our close call. As parents 

of young kids you think ‘gee, that 

would of been awful.’ We don’t 

often talk about it, but I feel quite 

emotional talking about it now.’’ 

The day was a busy one for 

lifeguards – about 30 people were 

rescued from the rip.

said the donation was fantastic. 

“Luckily, it was quite timely. 

We needed these new radios, 

which are about $1000 each. 

They are on a special frequency 

and are used all the time on different 

areas of the beach.” 

The donation was “really 

pleasing and humbling.”

Demolition under way 

on remaining stands 

Work has started on removing 

the last two stands at Lancaster 

Park, which will take 10 to 12 

months. The demolition was 

expected to cost $20 million, 

but is now forecast to cost $12 

million with two per cent of 

the rubble expected to go to 

landfill. 

Free buses home 

from Sparks concert 

People heading to the Sparks 

concert in North Hagley Park 

on February 16 will be able 

to get a free bus ride home. 

There will be 28 buses free for 

the public to use on the night, 

which will start departing 

when the fireworks are finished. 

Buses leaving from Harper 

Ave (near the Bealey Ave 

corner) will travel to Cashmere, 

Halswell, Sheffield Cres and 

Hornby. Buses leaving from 

Park Tce (between Salisbury St 

and Chester St West) will travel 

to Belfast, Queenspark, Sumner

Weed control tool 

trial for red zone 

A new electrothermal weed 

control tool, which sends 

5000v down root systems 

killing them outright, is being 

brought in to be trialled in the 

red zone. Unlike other weed 

management methods such as 

steam and flame, which in most 

cases only destroys the foliage, 

electrothermal targets weeds 

at their root systems stopping 

them from regenerating. 

Equipment repair at 

playground 

The flying foxes and swings 

at the Margaret Mahy Family 

Playground are out of action for 

a month. The cables for the two 

flying foxes and swings have 

frayed as a result of wear and 

tear. It will cost the city council 

about $7000 to replace and 

install new cables.

Community 

service for 

‘drown him’ 

offender 


SEVENTY HOURS of community 

service will be carried out by one 

of the offenders found guilty in 

the highly-publicised Rolleston 

“drown him” case. 

Judge Stephen O’Driscoll approved 

a plan for one offender’s 

punishment on Tuesday, which 

was formed at a family group 

conference. 

In December, following a twoday 

Youth Court hearing, two 

17-year-olds were found guilty of 

assault with intent to injure. 

They were 16 at the time of 

the attack, in November 2016, 

where the 16-year-old victim was 

confronted by a group of youths in 

Tennyson St, Rolleston, after the 

annual fireworks event. 

It was alleged the victim was 

assaulted and pushed into a water 

race, where he had his head held 

under water while other youths 

yelled “drown him.” 

At the sentencing on Tuesday, 

the other offender was remanded 

on bail and will reappear before 

Judge O’Driscoll on March 5. 

An agreement over punishment 

was not reached at the family 

group conference. 

Robber takes off with bike 


WHEN 13-YEAR-OLD Sam

His doctor

Centaurus Rd, Huntsbury, by

bike and started walking with it. 

Moments later a man armed 

with a red-handled kitchen knife 

ran up behind him, grabbed the 

back wheel and said: “Give me 

your f**king bike, boy.” 

Said Sam: “I was really 

shocked and frightened. I put 

my hands up behind my head.” 

Sam ran to a nearby house 

for help, and the police were 

called. 

The robber, described as Polynesian 

in his late 20s, rode off on 

the bike, but the damaged gears 

ripped through the spokes of the 

back wheel, Sam said. 

Anyone who can identify the man in this photo or who has information about the 

robbery can phone Constable Royden Van Dyk at Christchurch South Police Station on

People’s Choice targets water vote 


LABOUR-ALIGNED People’s 

Choice is plotting how to 

dominate the local body elections 

by getting the water vote. 

An internal People’s Choice 

document obtained by The Star 

shows the way to win votes is 

addressing 

chlorination 

in the water. 

It was the biggest 

concern 

for about 33 

per cent of 

respondents.

It was then

campaign. 

Of the 16 city councillors 

seven, Yani Johanson, Phil Clearwater, 

Glen Livingstone, Anne 

Galloway, Jimmy Chen, Pauline 

Cotter and Deputy Mayor Andrew 

Turner, are part of People’s 

Choice. 

On ECan, its chairman Steve 

Lowndes and councillors Cynthia 

Roberts and Lan Pham run 

under People’s Choice. 

People’s Choice chairman Keir 

Leslie and Cr Turner would not 

discuss the survey as it was an 

internal party document. 

High-profile city councillor 

Jamie Gough, who runs under 

the centre-right, pro-business 

group Independent Citizens, 

said it was “good” the survey 

highlighted issues Christchurch 

residents cared about. 

But he said the group’s politics 

was based on caucusing and its 

decision-making came from 

Wellington, not Christchurch. 

“That sort of governance can be 

quite damaging,” 

Cr Gough is considering 

challenging Lianne Dalziel for 

mayoralty and wants more commercial 

understanding and focus 

around the council table. 

“What I’ve always been proud 

about through Independent 

Citizens is they’ll never tell me 

how to vote,” Cr Gough said. 

The biggest issue with People’s 

Choice is its block voting, he said. 

“A good example where they 

block voted was to refuse to 

consider revaluing our assets,” Cr 

Gough said. 

“It’s damaging to Christchurch 

if not negligent to makes those 

sorts of calls for ideological 

reasons.” 

However, Mr Leslie said while 

all People’s Choice candidates had 

the same values, they all had separate 

ways of dealing with issues. 

“All our councillors take an independent 

approach. They don’t 

all sing in unison, but they have 

the same values.” 

Political scientist Bronwyn 

Hayward said it was a “fairly 

standard” political survey used 

during campaigns. 

Dr Hayward said voters cared a 

lot less about political leaning in 

local government. 

“Often voters don’t care, if 

you’re doing a good job, listening

Drink driving excuses and why they 

A United States woman 

who said she failed 

a drink driving test 

because she had been 

nibbling on her coat 

went viral last month. 

So what excuses do 

Canterbury motorists 

use? Sophie Cornish 

reports 

EXCUSES, DENIAL, “I’ve only 

had a couple” and “go do some 

real policing.” 

After three years on the team 

which targets 

alcohol and 

drug impaired 

drivers, 

Sergeant Stu 

Martindale has 

heard it all. 

“The most 

Stu 

Martindale 

common thing 

we hear is: ‘I’ve 

only had two 

drinks,’ and 

we always ask: ‘How big were 

the drinks? Were they crates or 

kegs?’” he says. 

It’s an age-old classic veteran 

Sergeant Colin Stewart has also 

heard many times. 

“You have to think, were they 

drinking out of buckets?” he said. 

Another excuse when police 

smell alcohol from a driver’s 

breath is they have been eating 

liqueur chocolates. 

“I don’t think they actually 

have any alcohol in them, it’s just 

the flavouring,” Sergeant Martindale 

said. 

When one such driver 

went to court on his drink 

driving charge, he changed his 

tune - slightly. “He said that he’d 

been eating trifle with brandy in 

it.” 

A woman told him she had 

alcohol on her breath because she 

had been drinking Listerine. 

“But it actually transpired this 

lady was addicted to drinking 

mouthwash. She was drinking it 

in such volumes, it was enough to 

show in our evidential test.” 

Another woman said she had 

been eating Kurols, a mentholated 

throat lozenge. 

“To eat the amount you would 

need to fail a breath test, you 

would be physically sick before 

you were able to do that,” he said. 

Many drivers of course say they

haven’t been drinking, but when 

they are sprung then question the 

validly of the breath test. 

“All our devices are calibrated 

annually, by a specialist. The 

modern machines always purge 

themselves of any traces of alcohol 

before any test,” said Sergeant 

Martindale. 

Many people make a stupid 

excuse initially, then realise how 

stupid it was, then roll with it for 

awhile, then towards the end they 

say well actually I’ve had this 

much . . .’’

The “two drinks” excuse comes 

from a “major misconception” 

with our legal drink driving 

limit, said Sergeant Martindale. 

“When the lower limit was introduced, 

it suggested a couple of 

drinks, but that is one standard 

drink per hour with food and the 

theory is that every person is the 

same, but it is not.” 

“Every person is different, for 

some people two drinks will 

have zero effect, where as for 

other people the effect could be 

dramatic.”

don’t get you off the hook 

Factors which play a role in 

this include age, body size, your 

body’s chemical imbalance at the 

time, how much sleep a person 

has had and how fit or unfit they 

are. 

“Ultimately 

the biggest message 

is if you 

think you are 

going to drink 

alcohol, find a 

sober driver or

an alternative 

way home,” said 

Sergeant Martindale. 

The worst 

excuse police 

hear is people 

telling them to 

“go and do some 

real policing 

and catch some 

criminals,” he 

said. 

Sergeant Martindale believes 

for every drink driver caught, 

one innocent life has been saved 

on the roads. 

In 2011, prominent West Coast 

lawyer Doug Taffs put coins in 

his mouth to try and outwit a 

breath alcohol test. 

The method comes from an 

old wives’ tale that holding a 

penny in your mouth can interfere 

with your saliva’s composition. 

The zinc and copper of the 

penny supposedly neutralises or 

masks the actual level of alcohol 

by inducing a chemical reaction 

or coating the inside of the 

mouth. 

Senior Sergeant Pete Stills has 

heard of the urban legend but has 

never seen it work. 

“It didn’t work for the guy I 

was dealing with a long time ago. 

He put the coins in his mouth 

right in front of me.” 

Senior Sergeant Stills has seen 

people take deep breaths, in an 

effort to control their breathing. 

“I’ve never seen anything yet 

that has successfully overcome 

the machines. 

People will tend to minimise 

what they have drunk and often 

people might stall for time, 

thinking time will be their 

saviour. But it’s not, sometimes 

stalling for time could show up a 

higher reading.” 

Once, Senior Sergeant Stills 

was offered a bribe, if he chose to 

WHAT ARE THE LIMITS? 

•From December 2014, 

the alcohol limit for 

drivers 20 years old and 

older lowered from 

400mcg of alcohol per 

litre of breath to 250mcg. 

The blood alcohol limit 

lowered from 80mg of 

alcohol per 100ml of 

blood (0.08), to 50mg

$1m plan 

to heat pool 


USING WASTEWATER to heat 

the new Linwood Pool could cost 

ratepayers an extra $1 million. 

A report will be considered by 

the city council’s new finance and 

performance committee today, 

which recommends increasing 

the complex’s budget from $21 

million to $22 million to account 

for wastewater heating costs. 

Buildings in Australia, Canada, 

France and Hungary use wastewater 

running underground as 

a heat source. However, the Linwood 

Pool would be the first of 

its kind in New Zealand. It is also 

expected to reduce the complex’s 

operational costs by $41,500 a 

year, paying the additional capital 

back over 17-20 years. The city 

council will also seek third party 

funding for the system. 

Initial concepts show the facility 

could include a lane pool, 

learn-to-swim pool, toddler pool 

and family spa, plus two tennis 

and two basketball courts within 

the site. The city council will put 

the plans out for public feedback 

in April. 

The complex will be built on 

the corner of Linwood Ave and 

Smith St, at the eastern end of 

Linwood Park. It is expected to 

open in late 2021.

the ordeal in North New

Helem said Brighton was 

traumatised from the incident 

and had a severe case 

of cat flu. 

He was thrown on New 

Brighton Rd near the 

intersection with Bower 

Ave. 

“He’s recovered really 

well. His eyes were almost 

completely closed over 

when he came in but it 

(cat flu) is really treatable 

and he responded well to 

medication.” 

In a couple of weeks 

time, Brighton will be 

ready to be de-sexed and 

put up for adoption, Mr 

Helem said. 

He is currently staying 

with a foster family. 

Police and SPCA have no

previous owners who threw 

him from the vehicle.

CITY 

with Les Mills 

2SURF 



this year’s 

in Ashburton and Timaru. 

Now, retired from his job as an 

english teacher, Roger he has decided 

to get back into running. 

He enjoys running around the streets 

near where he lives and often goes to 

Les Mills gym also to stay in shape. 

“I like the City2Surf because it is an 

easy distances and it’s a popular run to 

take part in.” 

James Ferguson, 

32, Harewood 

James will take on 

the 14km run in this 

year’s City2Surf. 

It will be his first 

time doing the event 

and admits he’s a 

“first time runner,” opting to keep fit 

through rugby and other sport. 

The event will help him prepare for 

more running later in the year when 

he takes on the Buller Gorge halfmarathon 

and the Saint Clair Vineyard 

half marathon in Blenheim. 

He is enjoying his training – 

somewhat. 

“It’s a fair distance the 14km, but I’ve 

got get fit somehow.” 

Before and after work a couple of 

times a week Mr Ferguson has been 

challenging himself run distances 

between 10km and 14km. 

He will accompanied by a group of 

2 

CITY2SURF 


friends who will also run in the event 

next month. 

Pauline De Wit, 

66, Woolston 

Pauline isn’t keen 

to slow down anytime 

soon. 

Previously, she 

has run the 6km in 

the City2Surf but 

next month she decided to “push the 

boat out” and do the 14km run. 

“I felt I could have gone further 

so I am keen to try the 14km. I 

have seen the wonderful sense of 

achievement gained from an event 

such as this and wanted to be part of 

it . . . I am getting older and I want to 

achieve something like this before age 

takes me over.” 

Pauline has been training with her 

friend Jill, who she has done the event 

with before. 

The pair enjoy after-work walks 

around the Burwood Wetlands. 

“The Wetlands takes approximately 

40 minutes, plus walks at the weekend 

along the Heathcote river. Also due to 

the hot weather I have been enjoying 

swimming at Corsair Bay, Magazine 

Bay and at Sumner.” 

On Pauline’s bucket-list of 

achievements is the Saint Claire 

Vineyard half marathon. 

Fun run to benefit charity hospital 

HELPING: The Canterbury Charity Hospital Trust is 

the partner charity for the City2Surf. 

SINCE 2007, the City2Surf’s 

partner charity has been 

providing free healthcare to 

Cantabrians in need. 

The Canterbury Charity 

Hospital Trust provides free 

day surgery, medical treatments, 

dentistry, oral surgery 

and counselling services. 

It has had more than 

15,000 patient visits since it 

first opened in 2007. 

Over the years, more than 

300 doctors, nurses, dentists, 

health professionals and 

public-spirited people have 

volunteered their time and 

services. 

Celebrating its 45 th year, 

City2Surf is being held on 

March 24. 

Said Charity Hospital fundraising 

co-ordinator Rosie 

Graham: “The City2Surf is a 

great opportunity to not only 

increase the profile of the 

Charity Hospital as a local 

Canterbury charity but also 

be involved with a massive 

community event which last 

year attracted around 12,000 

entries.” 

“We also like the team 

aspect of the event as we are 

very much a team-based 

charity with over 300 volunteers 

all playing a part in providing 

our free services. And 

we really appreciate that Star 

Media chose us as the charity 

for this major event.” 

The hospital, which is 

unique in New Zealand, frequently 

updates it’s services, 

depending on the need. 

This currently includes 

include colonoscopy, gynaecology 

and women’s health, 

general surgery (abdominal, 

rectal), oral surgery and 

dentistry, counselling 

(self-referral), orthopaedics 

(upper and lower limb) and 

cataracts. 

The Trust does not receive 

any Government funding 

and relies on fundraising 

events, donations, charitable 

organisations and bequests 

to raise the funds required to 

run its free services.

Our People 


Simon Moore 

Murders, pubs, V8s and a quarry 

Vocal opponent of 

the Fulton Hogan 

quarry near Weedons 

Simon Moore has seen 

the lowest society has 

to offer. The 56-year-old 

former police detective 

talks to Anan Zaki 

about the many hats 

he’s worn over the years 

Tell me a bit about your life 

outside of campaigning against 

the proposed quarry near 

Weedons? 

I’m a company director in 

an immigration company. So 

I’m a licensed immigration 

adviser. I’ve been doing that 

with this company [e-Migration] 

since 2005 and we’re based in 

Burnside. 

Other things I’m involved in – 

I’m the president of the Waitaha 

Swim Club in Hornby and I’m 

a board member of Swimming 

Canterbury West Coast. 

What does your job as an 

immigration adviser involve? 

We’re licensed to give 

immigration advice on New 

Zealand immigration. So we 

don’t do outward or other 

countries. 

NEED FOR SPEED: Weedons Residents’ Association member and former detective Simon 

Moore with his V8 Ford Mustang and his dog Bart. 


Our client base goes from 

people wanting to visit New 

Zealand right through to 

assisting companies to get visas 

for their staff. 

You used to be a police 

officer, when did you serve 

and what was your role? 

I was a detective, and when I 

left the police I was a detective 

sergeant based in Christchurch 

for most of the time. I served 

between 1983 and 1999. 

What made you want to 

become a police officer? 

It was one of those boyhood 

things. I had worked on dairy 

farms and I didn’t mind that. 

My uncle was a policeman in 

Oamaru and just talking to him 

and looking at career options, 

I decided to join the police. I 

worked full time on dairy farms 

for about 18 months before I was 

accepted into the police at 20. 

What were some of the 

notable cases that you worked 

on? 

Kirsty Bentley was the last one 

I worked on. That’s still in the 

newspapers. It’s a cold case now. I 

was brought in after her body was 

found up in the Rakaia Gorge. I 

was brought into review that part 

of the investigation, which meant 

that I lived in Methven for about 

two months. 

Was it a difficult time with the 

attention on the case? 

It was intense, but it was also 

disappointing that we couldn’t 

resolve that for the family. About 

a year or so before that I was 

involved in the [Marlborough] 

Sounds homicides as well and I 

lived in Blenheim for six months 

and hardly got a day off. That’s 

still controversial and still people 

ask me about that. It never leaves 

you, even though you left the 

police in 1999. People still want 

to know about both those cases 

because there was a lot of public 

interest in them.

WHO WILL 

MAKE THE 

AB CUT?



– life isn’t quiet for former cop 

Do you believe justice was 

served in the Sounds murders? 

Yeah I do, no doubt at all. 

I’ve heard all the theories, I’ve 

heard everything. We lived and 

breathed that [investigation] for 

six months, it was a huge amount 

of time and in those six months I 

think I got two or three weekends 

off. We were working 14-15 hours 

a day. So if anyone thinks there 

wasn’t a lot of work put into that 

they’re very wrong. 

Did you enjoy police work? 

Of course. You’ve got to be 

extremely dedicated and working 

on an inquiry, whether it would 

be Blenheim or Ashburton, it 

takes you away from your home 

and your family. I didn’t have 

children at that stage, but I was 

working with guys that did. It’s 

hell of a hard on them and I don’t 

think people realise that. 

Why did you leave the police? 

In 16 years I saw a lot of things 

and I guess that while I was 

still young enough, I thought I 

had done a lot in the police and 

I felt it was time for a change 

in scenery so I ended up being 

a publican. I had the Madeira 

Hotel in Akaroa for a couple of 

years. 

So you became a publican, 

that’s a bit of a change isn’t it? 

HIGH PROFILE: Former detective Simon Moore worked on cases such as the Marlborough 

Sounds murders of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope, and the murder of Ashburton schoolgirl Kirsty 

Bentley. 

The thing about the police is 

that it can become very negative. 

A lot of the time you’re dealing 

with the very negative side of society 

and you’re seeing tragedies. 

You’re having to tell people that 

their loved ones have been killed 

and over 16 years that can take its 

toll. People that have been in the 

police for 30-40 years, well they 

have got my admiration. They 

deserve a medal. The thing about 

becoming a publican is that I saw 

a slightly different side to people. 

Some good and some bad, but the 

police career gives you a pretty 

good grounding to deal with people. 

You get to know a lot about 

people in the police. It gives you a 

really good grounding to understand 

how people work and those 

connections you make in the police 

are lifelong connections. My 

business partner [at e-Migration] 

is an ex-police officer. Immigration 

officers are ex-police officers, 

you bump into them all the time 

and they all remember you. 

What were some highlights of 

being a publican in Akaroa? 

I knew what to expect from 

people who couldn’t handle their 

alcohol because I’ve dealt with 

that plenty of times. But Akaroa 

itself was a fantastic place to live. 

A small population of locals, but 

a huge population of Cantabrians 

with holiday homes. So on the 

weekends the place would just 

swell with people from Christchurch 

and when they went away it 

was just your local people. I could 

still be living there, but I was 

made an offer for the pub and 

I couldn’t refuse it. It’s bloody 

hard work being a publican. 

Particularly in a small town that 

increases five times in size in the 

weekends. Trying to find staff, 

trying to please everybody and 

keep within the law making sure 

people aren’t drink driving, you 

take that responsibility quite 

heavily. As soon as I got there I 

bought a courtesy van so that we 

could get people home safely. To 

be honest at the start there was a 

bit of a sideways look from those 

people who were perhaps a little 

wayward of the law. But when 

they found out I was there as a 

publican and not a policeman it 

was all good. •Turn to page 14

•From page 13 

Was it after that you became 

an immigration adviser? 

After two years of living and 

breathing [being a publican] 

you need a bit of time out and I 

thought I’d have a few months 

off. But I got to about six weeks 

and I was so bored, I saw an ad in 

the paper for what they used to 

call an immigration consultant 

with a big company. I applied for 

it and the guy from Wellington 

who interviewed me was an 

ex-cop, so I got the job. I started 

off as a consultant for them for 

about six months and after the 

six months we got the business 

running so well that they decided 

to start a branch, I ran that for 

a couple of years and went back 

to becoming a publican again in 

Hanmer Springs of all places. 

Where in New Zealand are 

you originally from? 

Born and bred in Christchurch. 

The suburb I was brought up 

was in Bishopdale, went to 

Christchurch Boys’ High School. 

I lived two years in Timaru after 

I left the police. When I came 

back from Timaru, I lived in 

that Bishopdale area again and 

then Templeton in the early 

1990s because I was working 

in the Hornby police station as 

detective. I threw my name in

the hat for a detective sergeant’s 

role after just having moved to 

Templeton and I got that role and 

it was in New Brighton. I couldn’t 

turn the job down because I put 

my name in the hat, so I had 

to commute backwards and 

forwards everyday. 

You own a 2010 Ford 

Mustang, have you always been 

into performance cars? 

Yeah I am, I’ve always been a 

V8 man really. I’ve always liked 

those classic V8s and particularly 

Mustang, out of the lot of them. 

I was lucky enough to be able to 

buy one in 2017. I bought it in

Akaroa in 2001. 

What spurred you onto 

advocating for something like 

the proposed quarry? 

I’ve advocated for things all 

my life if you look at the police 

side of it. The thing that got me 

annoyed and concerned is that 

when I bought at Weedons, it 

was surrounded by farms and 

horse training stables. When we 

went there we knew we would 

get planes going overhead. We 

accepted that. We knew Ruapuna 

Park was not far away and when 

the north east wind is blowing 

and they’ve got events there we 

can hear them quite clearly. We 

knew that when we moved in 

there. 

We’ve got prisons around 

us, halfway houses for youth 

offenders, we knew all that 

when we moved in and we 

accepted that. But we never had 

a quarry. I never in my wildest 

dreams thought that they 

would contemplate putting a 

quarry between Templeton and 

Weedons. The thing that disturbs 

me the most is the more I look 

into this the more I can see that 

we are so far behind the rest of 

the world. India and Pakistan, 

for example, have 1km setback 

rules. We don’t have anything 

like that.

Vittoria’s age of mischief 

I HOPE everyone has enjoyed 

their Waitangi Day break – our 

only truly national holiday. 

That is until we all realise that a 

national holiday in winter – like, 

say, for Matariki – would actually 

be quite nice. 

I’ve lost my mouse. My 

computer mouse that is. Well, I 

say ‘I lost it’, but really someone 

small and cute found it, took it, 

and put it somewhere safe. Or 

under something. Or behind 

something. Or in something. 

I mean, she can’t eat it, I 

don’t think. Turn your back to 

Vittoria’s actions and she’ll get up 

to some sort of mischief without 

fail. Age and stage, right? 

Either way, it’s made writing 

this slightly difficult. I use 

a laptop and am the kind of 

person who can accidently wipe 

his computer by touching that 

bloody mouse pad. Just got to 

persist and deal without it for 

now. 

That’s one way to remind me 

to be on my toes as to things 

around Vittoria. Considering 

her mischief abilities, I’m equally 

impressed by Laura’s and my 

persistence in keeping all her 

pyjamas, bibs and socks neatly 

folded and stacked on a shelf in 

direct line of fire. I think we’ve 

both re-folded and re-stacked 

GUILTY: Vittoria caught in 

the act of mischief. 

that shelf 100 times. She’ll grow 

out of it eventually, either that 

or we’ll buy another drawer or 

something. 

It’s hilarious when you catch 

her in the act of mischief, she 

usually shoots over a sly look 

while slowly continuing to do 

whatever it is you’re telling her 

‘no’ about. 

VITTORIA 

& Matt 

If you catch her “borrowing” 

something, she generally giggles, 

tries to hide it behind herself and 

then runs off. Sometimes too 

fast and she falls over, making it 

funnier. Or immediately sadder. 

She is so adorable that it’s hard 

to be angry mostly. Unless it’s the 

10th time that day. Then it’s time 

for a recharging cuppa. 

Beyond renewed assaults 

on folded clothing, this week 

also saw Vittoria and I start 

at her first toddler-focussed 

activity, Shimmy Shakers, at the 

Phillipstown Community Hub 

on Monday. She really enjoyed 

herself, I could tell because even 

though she abandoned me to go 

play with the cupboards with a 

new friend as it started, she came 

back all smiles soon after and 

stayed for the rest.

THOUSANDS OF fish have 

been moved in the Heathcote 

River as work continues to 

reduce its risk of flooding. 

In the three months to 

January 24, 3623 fish were 

moved upstream, including 531 

shortfin eels, 76 longfin eels, 153 

whitebait, 2717 common and 

giant bullies and three black 

flounders. 

About 20,000 tonnes of 

sediment has been removed 

before more dredging begins 

later in the year after the 

whitebait spawning season. 

The dredging work is being 

carried out between Opawa 

Rd and the Woolston Cut (an 

engineered channel) under the 

city council’s land drainage 

recovery programme. 

Stage one of the in-river 

work – from Radley St to the

completed, with the barge due to 

be removed this month. 

Work is also well advanced 

on stage two from Opawa Rd 

to Radley St. Contractors will

Fire rages, homes at risk 

Fish moved to start 

flood reduction work 

in Heathcote River 

upstream of Radley St from 

Clarendon Tce this month using 

a long-reach excavator, operating 

from the bank. 

City council land drainage 

manager Keith Davison said the 

work is already having a positive 

impact on the environment. 

Dredging will restart on 

June 1 from both sides of the 

river – between Clarendon 

and Richardson Tces – and is 

expected to continue until later 

this year. The river will be closed 

to recreational use in the work 

areas because of safety issues 

and sediment controls. 

Single-lane traffic controls will 

also be introduced to manage 

truck access. A final bank 

tidy-up and landscaping will be 

completed along Richardson 

and Clarendon Tces following 

the completion of the stage two 

work, with planting in May-June 

2020. 

Planning and design for the 

third and final stage of dredging 

from Beckford to Opawa Rds 

is under way, with on-site work 

expected to start later this year.

Water: Our ‘precious resource’ 

WHAT HAPPENS when a 

community group challenges a 

resource consent through the 

courts? 

I guess the first thing that 

happens is that costs can mount 

very quickly and there is no 

guarantee that they will recover 

those costs if the challenge is 

successful. 

City councillors have been 

watching with interest the action 

taken against the Environment 

Canterbury decision to allow the 

transfer of old consents to take 

water to a new owner for a new 

purpose – water bottling. 

Leaving aside all of the 

sustainability issues around 

producing thousands of plastic 

bottles every week, the water 

allocation is exhausted in this 

area, so new consents need to be 

declined. 

The question a lot of us are 

asking is why it’s okay for 

these consents to be soaked 

up by simply purchasing the 

land (at inflated prices due to 

the consent), even though the 

uses and quantum used are 

completely different? 

The community group won 

the initial High Court hearing 

on a preliminary legal question 

of whether there was any need 

Mayor 

Lianne Dalziel 

to change the original resource 

consents at all. The High Court 

confirmed that either new or 

varied resource consents to 

take water for water bottling 

had been needed. The consentholders 

have now appealed that 

preliminary legal question to the 

Court of Appeal. 

We believe the outcome of this 

case is very important to the city 

as a whole, and we are looking 

at how we can support it. They 

have crowd-sourced the amount 

required to date, and will start 

another campaign in a few 

weeks. I support this approach. 

However could we provide more 

direct help? If the preliminary 

decision of the High Court is 

upheld, and the community 

group then succeeds with its 

main claim, it will help limit 

water takes from the aquifers. 

Our water is a precious 

resource. It may not be owned by 

anyone, but it belongs to us all.

Dalziel a question, email

Woolston village 

upgrade criticised 

• By Matt Slaughter 

CONCERNS HAVE been raised 

after a proposal to upgrade the 

Woolston Village Centre was 

green-lighted. 

The decision was made at a 

Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board meeting on 

Monday and the project will 

now be brought to city council 

for final sign-off. The project to 

transform the centre, which runs 

down Ferry Rd, will result in the 

loss of 14 on-street car parks. 

The original 2016 Woolston 

Village Centre upgrade proposal, 

which did not go ahead, would 

have resulted in the removal of 

48 on-street car parks. 

In spite of the new plan reducing 

this number, Woolston 

Pharmacy owner Simon Payne 

said business owners and shoppers 

will still be worse off if these 

parks are lost. 

“It definitely is negative for our 

customers. It will be negative for 

the whole shopping area, really.” 

“If you don’t have car parks 

that are convenient, then people 

are just going to drive on by.” 

From a pharmacy’s point of view, 

we get a lot of people who are 

injured, immobile, or have low 

mobility due to long-term health 

conditions . . . it is very inconvenient 

if they can’t park nearby 

where they want to go.” 

Mr Payne said a petition to 

keep the car parks, started by the 

pharmacy late last year, received 

more than 1000 signatures in 

one week. 

The project will also involve 

the planting of trees and plants 

around the village, and new footpaths 

and street furniture. 

Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board member 

Brenda Lowe-Johnson said 

she has concerns about the kauri 

trees which would be planted. 

“Kauris are a North Island 

tree, they don’t belong to 

the South Island and they don’t 

grow here very well. I’m not very 

happy about that either because 

it’s a waste of money having 

something that’s not going to 

grow properly.” 

The city council is expected 

to decide in the next six weeks 

whether the project will go 

ahead.

BLUEBERRY COBBLER 

Ingredients 

Cobbler crust 

1 cup all-purpose flour 

1/2 cup rye flour 

1/2 cup cornmeal 

1 Tbsp baking powder 

1 Tbsp sugar 

1/2 tsp salt 

3/4 stick of very cold butter, cut 

into bits and rechilled for 10min 

1/2 cup milk 

1/4 cup mascarpone, plus more 

for serving 

Cobbler filling 

3 peaches, pitted and sliced into 

1cm wedges 

2 apricots, pitted and sliced into 

1cm wedges 

1 cup blueberries 

1 Tbsp sugar 

1 Tbsp cornstarch 

1 Tbsp cherry liqueur 

Zest of one lemon 

Pinch of freshly ground black 

pepper (optional) 

Directions 

Preheat the oven to 190 deg C 

with the baking rack positioned 

in the middle. Butter and set 

aside a baking dish. 

In a large bowl, whisk together 

the flours, cornmeal, baking 

powder, sugar, and salt. Drop in 

butter and using your fingertips, 

toss the butter pieces with the 

flour until coated. Rub the butter 

into the dry ingredients until you 

have small-sized pieces of butter 

throughout. 

In a small bowl, whisk together 

the milk and the mascarpone 

until well combined. Pour the 

milk-mascarpone mixture over 

the dry ingredients and mix with 

a fork until you get a very soft 

dough. At this point, you will 

probably still have dry bits of 

dough at the bottom of the bowl, 

which you can incorporate using 

your hands or a spatula. 

Roll the dough out between 

two pieces of parchment paper 

until it’s roughly the shape and 

size of your baking dish. Chill 

the dough until ready to use – 

while you prepare the fruit. 

In a large bowl toss all the 

filling ingredients and stir gently 

to mix. Turn the fruit into the 

buttered dish and top with the 

biscuit dough. Using a small, 

sharp knife, cut six slits in the 

dough, just as you would for a 

pie crust. Using the same knife or 

a cookie cutter, cut a circle out of 

the center of the dough. Bake the 

cobbler 50-65min, or until the 

top is puffed and golden brown 

and the fruit is bubbling through 

the center hold. Cool the cobbler 

on a cooling rack for at least 

30min before serving. Serve 

warm or at room temperatures 

with a dollop of mascarpone. 

PORTERHOUSE WITH CAPSICUM, COURGETTES 

Ingredients 

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil 

2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice 

1 Tbsp red wine vinegar 

1 Tbsp Dijon mustard 

1 Tbsp chopped oregano 

Salt and freshly ground pepper 

2 courgettes, sliced on the 

diagonal 2cm thick 

1 red onion, sliced 1cm thick 

1 red sweet pointed capsicum, 

cored and quartered 

100-120g mushrooms, stemmed 

400g asparagus 

1 scallion, roots trimmed 

2 porterhouse steaks, about 

400g each 

Directions 

In a small 

bowl, whisk 

the olive oil 

with the lemon 

juice, red 

wine vinegar, 

mustard and 

oregano and 

season with salt 

and pepper. 

Transfer half 

of the dressing 

to a large 

bowl. Add the 

courgette, onion, capsicum, 

mushrooms, asparagus and 

scallion. Season the vegetables 

with salt and pepper and toss. 

In a perforated grill pan, grill 

the vegetables over high heat, 

tossing, until charred in spots. 

Return to the bowl, add the 

remaining dressing and toss. 

Season the steaks generously 

with salt and pepper. Grill the 

steaks over high heat, turning 

occasionally. Transfer the steaks 

to a carving board and let rest 

for 5min. Slice the meat from 

the bones and serve with the 

grilled vegetables.

CITY2SURF 

WEEK 4: Upping the pace 

This week we will step it up a bit more. The 

beginners group will progress to the stage 

that most of the walking is replaced by 

slow jogging and the intermediate group 

are starting to incorporate some efforts in 

zone 2. Remember that zone 1 is perceived 

as an easy effort which you can maintain 

for very long periods of time. In zone 2 

you will get slightly puffed but you can still 

have a conversation. You go from jogging 

in zone 1 to a proper running movement 

in zone 2 with the main difference being 

that zone 1 has a slower rhythm, staying 

low to the ground where as zone 2 brings 

extra spring in your step combined with 

an increase in leg turnover (stride rate). 

The intermediate group introduces zone 2 

pace as 2 minute repetitions alternated by 

2 minute easy jogging. Zone 2 to 3 will be 

the recommended pace for the City to Surf 

event for the intermediate group while the 

beginners will mainly stay in zone 1 and 2. 

The difference between walking and jogging 

is not only decided by the rhythm of the 

movement but also how and where you land 

your feet. When jogging most efficiently 

you land on your mid-foot under the centre

of gravity of the body, which, in the upright 

position, is located in the pelvis just behind 

the midline of the body. With a slight forward 

lean of the body you can use gravity to pull 

you forward while your legs keep you upright 

and push you in a forward direction. Walking 

is done in a more upright position and most 

of us land on our heel first and roll over the 

outside of our foot before pushing off with 

our forefoot. It helps to keep your core 

(lower abdomen, back, pelvis and hips) well 

supported by pushing your pelvis slightly 

forward. This will stop you from “sitting” and 

over striding.

TIP OF THE WEEK 

There is no need to bring fluids with you during the 

sessions as you are not exercising long and hard 

enough to cause serious dehydration. Even on warm 

(north-west) days it is sufficient to have a glass of 

water or juice just before you go out. You can rehydrate 

on your return home, again with water and/ 

or a glass of fruit juice. Taking fluids during exercise 

is generally not required until you start to exceed 90 

minutes on a normal day and 60 minutes on a hot 

day (temperatures above 25 degrees).

Nine-wicket haul for 

veteran paceman 

• By Gordon Findlater 

AGE IS NO barrier for 

47-year-old Scott Inglis 

who took a career best 

9-49 for Burnside West 

Christchurch University’s 

premier side on Saturday. 

Playing Riccarton 

in the metro cricket 

two-day premiership, 

Jackson Latham took the 

first wicket for BWCU. 

However, the remainder of 

the innings was dominated 

by Inglis, who was 

unplayable at times during 

his 19.4 overs. 

The right-arm quick 

bowler puts his longevity 

at premier level down to 

a lack of injuries and his 

work in the gym over 

recent years. 

“I do get quite sore, 

though. I’m no good on 

Tuesday, start to feel 

better by training on 

Thursday, and am good 

to go by Saturday,” said 

Inglis. 

Inglis clean bowled two 

of his victims on Saturday, 

while seven dismissals 

came from catches. 

He is BWCU’s all-time 

leading wicket-taker at 

premier grade level with 

well over 600 wickets. 

Super Rugby time already 

IT’S THE time of year 

when we suddenly 

remember while battling 

a 30-plus deg C nor’west 

day in early February that 

Super Rugby starts next 

week. 

Finally, after years 

of being subjected to 

having our premier rugby 

competition blasted upon 

me while I’m at the peak 

of enjoying a summer of 

cricket, it’s even beginning 

to feel like the norm – as 

much as I hate to accept it. 

I’m not sure why it’s 

never felt normal – 1996 

was the last time Super 

Rugby started in March. 

Seasonal gripe aside, the 

biggest question going into 

this season is will we show 

up? 

There’s no denying the 

drop off in attendances for 

Super Rugby, particularly 

close to home in recent 

years. We can debate 

all day as to why. A tent 

for a stadium, too many 

overseas teams no one is 

interested in, cold weather, 

the examples go on. 

This year has every 

reason why we should be 

turning out in droves. 

CAMPAIGNER: Scott Inglis celebrated taking his 

600th wicket for Burnside West Christchurch 

University two years ago. On Saturday the 47-yearold 

recorded his career best bowling figures. 

It was a day to remember 

for BWCU, with Liam 

Winn scoring a century 

to give his team a 130-run 

advantage going into the 

second day of the match on 

Saturday. However, the day 

belonged to Inglis. 

“The guys made a bit of 

a fuss of it . . . we had a big 

boozy one afterwards. I 

was no good on Sunday, 

especially after bowling 20 

overs,” he said. 

Inglis, who grew up 

We’re going for three in 

a row. Yes, the Crusaders 

have more than truly 

established themselves as 

the dominant force they 

were in the late 1990s and 

2000s. However, if you 

look at crowd numbers 

from that era compared to 

last year at Christchurch 

Stadium (yes, Australasia’s 

most successful sporting 

franchise of the past 

25 years can’t attract a 

naming rights sponsor 

for their fortress/tent this 

season), it’s impossible to 

argue against numbers 

being down. 

With the Rugby World 

Cup coming later in the 

year, there’s more on the 

line. If Scott Robertson can 

create history by becoming 

the first coach to achieve a 

Super Rugby three-peat, it 

will give the NZRU every 

reason to appoint him as 

Steve Hansen’s successor. 

Outside of the sabbatical 

in Motueka, previously 

played representative 

cricket for Nelson, where 

on debut he claimed the 

wicket of former New 

Zealand international 

batsman Roger Twose. 

He is now in his 20th 

season with BWCU and 

plans to retire at the end 

of this season. Last year 

he finished as the top 

wicket-taker at the national 

club championships in 

Auckland. 

One-eyed Cantab 

Gordon Findlater 

gordon.findlater@starmedia.kiwi 

gang, who will have orders 

to sit out certain points 

of the season, we will 

have a competition with 

fringe All Blacks looking 

to push their case at every 

opportunity. 

But with all this in mind, 

will we show up? 

It’s also worth noting 

there’s some big pros to the 

rugby season starting in 

February. The biggest one 

is with the sun being out at 

7.35pm, you are given the 

illusion the competition 

has opted to go for a fanfriendly, 

day-time kick 

off, rather than expecting 

people to pay to show up 

on a cold winter’s night, 

instead of watching at 

home on Sky. 

My prediction for this 

year is the Crusaders will 

romp to a third straight 

Super Rugby title while 

most of us watch history 

unfold at the local or from 

the couch.

Coaching the All Blacks would lure 

Robbie Deans is Super Rugby’s most successful head coach winning five titles with 

the Crusaders between 2000 and 2008. Deans returned home last week during a 

break in the Japanese Top League season. Gordon Findlater caught up with him 

RUGBY FAMILY: The 2008 Super Rugby final – Deans was 

carried off the field by Brad Thorn and Reuben Thorne in 

his last game as coach of the Crusaders. 


COACHING THE All Blacks is 

the only opportunity that would 

lure Robbie Deans back to New 

Zealand. 

The former Crusaders and 

Wallabies coach – who currently 

coaches the Panasonic Wild 

Knights in Japan – is back home 

for the next month. However, with 

no interest in a return to Super 

Rugby there’s only one job that 

would see his return home come 

before retirement. 

“I got no interest in living out 

of a suitcase which is what Super 

Rugby is essentially, it’s a lot of 

travel. I was lucky enough to do 

that for 12 years between managing 

and coaching so I’ve had my 

fill,” said Deans. 

“That [All Blacks] would be the 

only international job that would 

be of interest if I was going to do 

one again, but no it won’t happen. 

There’s guys like Razor [Scott 

Robertson] who have got the background 

now.” 

Deans spent time last week at 

Crusaders training and caught 

up with Robertson over a coffee. 

While Deans may have a realist 

approach to his chances of taking 

the head coaching role of the All 

Blacks when Steve Hanson finishes 

up at the end of this year’s Rugby 

World Cup, he would be open to 

taking on an assistant or advisory 

role for whoever gets the nod. 

If Robertson is to take charge 

there’s every chance Deans could 

be someone to bring into the fold 

given the pair’s relationship. 

“Oh, look I’d be honoured if 

someone like that thought I’d be 

right for a role,” he said. 

“I stay in touch with the Crusaders 

and in particular the people, 

that’s the nature of rugby. There’s a 

lot of guys who are now coaching, 

Brad Thorn, Gibbo [Daryl Gibson], 

Aaron [Mauger] and Todd Blackadder, 

I stay in touch with all of those 

guys. The people who I’ve been 

lucky enough to be involved with 

along the way is what makes rugby.” 

“We’ve got some great history 

together and shared some great 

experiences.” 

For now Deans says he is loving 

life coaching in Japan which allows 

him and his wife Penny the 

time to visit their three children 

who are spread around the world, 

and regularly return home. 

“What’s appealing about Japan 

is that it’s a much better balance 

in the year. Europe is 11 months, 

Japan is eight with a two-month 

winter break, so you’re talking 

about a six-month calendar year, 

it’s great.” 

While rugby will always play 

second fiddle to the likes of 

baseball in Japan, Deans says the 

interest in the game is growing, 

something he sees helping Japan’s 

national team become a relevant 

threat to big rugby nations going 

forward. 

“It is evolving. Post 2015 the 

interest in the game, particularly 

with the World Cup coming has 

boomed. We have a lot more 

general public watching us train 

and more of a media presence. The 

media presence is probably greater 

than here, it’s just a pure numbers 

thing,” said Deans. 

While in Japan, Deans has also 

found time to get involved in his 

other sporting passion – cricket. 

He has even left a mark on the 

Japanese national side after being 

invited to a net session with the 

team after running into their coach 

at his local squash club in Sano.

Robbie Deans back to NZ 

“The ICC has just tipped in 

US$4 million to upgrade their 

national centre, so it’s a pretty 

good oval. I’ve been down there 

and had a hit, and worked with 

the national team,” said Deans. 

“They’ve got some useful cricketers 

. . . they had a leg spinner 

there who was self-taught. He 

watches Shane Warne on You- 

Tube and taught himself to bowl, 

including a flipper.” 

This week Deans is representing 

Canterbury at the national 

over 60s provincial cricket tournament 

in Lower Hutt. 

Deans played in a New Zealand 

secondary school team in 1977 

which featured Martin Crowe 

who made the team as a fourth 

form student. The team played 

against Australian state teams at 

a tournament in Christchurch. 

Deans finished as the tournament’s 

top run scorer and scored 

150 against a Tasmania team 

Robbie Deans coaching career 

Age – 59 

which featured David Boon. 

Deans played one match for 

Canterbury in Waimate in 

1982 – the same year he helped 

Canterbury’s rugby side win the 

Ranfurly Shield. 

“At the end of the season I got 

sent a cheque for $17.98. I never 

banked it because it would have 

made me a professional which 

would have compromised my 

rugby.” 

Following his rugby playing career 

Deans played representative 

cricket for Canterbury Country. 

He scored a century against 

Marlborough and was part of an 

unsuccessful Hawke Cup challenge 

against Northland. 

At 59, Deans has been given 

dispensation to compete at 

the over-60s tournament. I’m 

sure there won’t be too many 

complaints from anyone who has 

the opportunity to send down a 

delivery to him. 

MULTI-TALENTED: 

Deans batting in 

Japan. 

In 2017 he coached 

the Barbarians to a 

22-31 loss to the All 

Blacks.

The Canterbury Rams have resigned

Papanui High School student. 

The 22-year-old made valuable 

contributions off the bench for 

the Rams last year.

title for Glen Eagles 

The Canterbury Glen Eagles won 

their first teams’ championships 

at the Palmerston North 

speedway at the weekend when 

they defeated the Hawke’s Bay 

Hawkeyes in Sunday’s final. 

Since first appearing at the 

champs in 1984 the Glen Eagles 

have previously made just one 

finals appearance and held a 

record of just 16 wins from 62 

races. 

TOUCH CANTERBURY 

Touch is once again out in force across parks, 

beaches and backyards. The flexibility of this 

game sees it as one of the most popular summer 

sports in NZ. This season sees more than 17,000 

players actively involved in our competitions, which span 

across Canterbury and the West coast. Currently we have 

35 affiliated modules that cover both junior and senior 

competitions and cater to all ages and experience. 

Touch really is a sport that caters to people of all 

diverse backgrounds and provides opportunities for all. 

This is one of the keys to why we are able to develop 

relationships with other local sporting communities, and 

build strong links within the community. 

Whilst a large majority of participants are involved in 

touch for the pure social aspect of it, we do have a 

developed pathway for those that have higher aspirations 

to representative honours. 

Touch Canterbury has a long and proud record on the 

national stage and this tradition continues with the 

upcoming Touch New Zealand Junior and YOM (Youth, 

Open and Masters) National tournaments. 

2019 will see a total of 17 teams represent Canterbury 

and travel to Rotorua in February and March, to compete 

against the best players and teams from all over New 

Zealand. 

The Junior Nationals will see 6 teams compete in the 

boys, girls and mixed divisions at both U16 and U18 level. 

At the YOM Nationals we will have 11 teams represent 

grades from Under 21’s to Over 55’s. The players, 

coaches and management have been working extremely 

hard, and we look forward to seeing all the preparation be 

put into action as they challenge for a national title. 

Touch Canterbury also supports the development and 

growth of referees within our sport and we are very proud 

to once again have the largest provincial contingent of 

referees attend these national events. 

As with many sports, touch is a user-pay 

system which can add extra pressure to 

attending these events. Touch Canterbury 

and our representative players are extremely 

grateful for the support of local businesses and 

funders to aid our athletes in recognising and 

achieving their goals. 

You can keep up to date with all the activity and 

results on our Facebook page, https://www.

build on this result when they come 

up against some of NZ’s top sides at

Team set to continue on their winning streak 

2018/19 Season has been amazing as I look 

back on our campaign and reflect, I remember 

our first camp when Alisi Tupuailei ran a session 

with boys on “housekeeping” which involved 

the boys setting their own expectations and 

standards. It was very important for Alisi, Sonya 

White and myself that we set a good foundation 

around our values “winners forever” where we 

practice to teach the boys to be better humans, 

sport is for a short time, being a better human is 

for a long time. 

The most important thing for me is to help 

each and every player be the best they can be. I 

want them to do things on and off the Touch field 

better than they’ve been before, relative to their 

age group. They have been smashing their team 

and individual goals including winning Gold at 

the South Island Championship. They have been

individually improving their times on fitness tests 

with the entire team coming in under 5mins in the 

Bronco test with the best result a 4m43s which 

is quicker than Crusaders Ritchie Mo’unga and 

Mitch Hunt (4m45s). 

A massive thank you to our two main team 

sponsors Bruce Cooper Plastering and AP 

Plumbing Ltd, without their contributions none 

of the training camps or activities would have 

been possible. Thank you to our parents who have 

sacrificed time and money and trusted in our 

coaching staff this season. 

The biggest thank you to all the sponsors 

below in supporting the opportunities that 

sport provides our young boys with, to develop 

attributes that will serve them well throughout 

their lives. From the effort and commitment I have 

seen I know you have made a great investment.

Team looking forward to National Tournament 

The U16 Girls are looking forward to the 

Junior Touch Nationals from 8th February – 10th 

February in Rotorua. This is a great opportunity 

to play the best of the best from every province, it 

will be a great challenge, one that the team is very 

excited about. 

Under the guidance of coach Adrian Godinet, 

the team have been working hard on policies and 

plays. We travelled to Oamaru where we played in 

a mini tournament against Otago and Southland 

and then competed at the Southern IPS 

tournament here in Christchurch. We had some 

challenging games but the girls perservered 

and came away winning the finals at both 

tournaments. 

The girls are a very talented group that have 

gelled well together on and off the field and 

show immense heart. The girls are captained by 

Junior National Tournament

Courtney Godinet and vice captain Georgia Reed,

combat what Nationals will bring. 

We would like to say a massive thanks to all 

our parents, supporters and team sponsors 

for all their support this far. It has been really 

awesome and very much appreciated by the team 

management and players. THANK YOU!!

Underdogs ready for National Tournament 

The Coaching and Management staff for the 

Canterbury Under 16 Mixed team for 2019 would like 

to first and foremost thank all sponsors, supporters, 

parents and players for all their efforts leading into 

this years Junior National Touch Tournament. The 

tournament will take place on the 8th-11th February 

in Rotorua and will put us against the very best 

Mixed Touch teams from all over NZ. So this is a very 

exciting tournament for all people involved. 

The team has been training weekly for this 

tournament for the last four months and have also 

been competing in the local Thursday night Burnside 

competition riddled with teams full of Canterbury 

and NZ senior representatives. This has meant 

that we have had to develop quickly as a team and 

learn to compete with the best in our region. An 

experience most Junior teams don’t receive at such 

a young age. 

It has been an exciting journey building towards

Rotorua, 8-10 February, 2019 

the Junior National Tournament. We have some 

very good talent throughout our team coupled with 

great leadership in our two Co-Captains Amy-Lee 

Peterson and Isaac Hutchinson. With that in mind, I 

believe we have the right recipe for success and our 

target is to become the first ever Canterbury team 

to win the National Under16 Mixed Competition. 

Having previously placed 9th last year, we will be the 

underdogs in this tournament and that is a label we 

will happily wear and use to catch our competition 

off guard. Watch this space.

VW Polo GTi has strong pedigree 

VOLKSWAGEN’S Golf GTi 

has had a strong following 

from those who like to be 

driving a hot hatchback. 

The legendary sports car 

has an enviable reputation for 

performance and is certainly 

on my list of desirables but at 

almost $60k it is probably out 

of reach for many – including 

me. 

However, Volkswagen has 

another desirable hot hatch in 

its books – the Polo GTi. The 

Polo in this form is a vibrant, 

five-door modelled on the 

lines of its Golf stablemate, 

albeit with a $21,000 price difference. 

Of course, you don’t get all 

the trick stuff of Golf GTi, but 

the Polo equivalent is still well 

specced, powerful and light, 

the combination providing the 

ingredients for sporty ability. 

Under the bonnet of the 

Polo GTi sits a 2-litre, turbocharged 

engine which 

develops 147kW and 320Nm. 

While they may seem average 

outputs compared to many of 

the high performing models 

which make up this part of 

the market, the Polo GTi is a 

quick car. 

It develops a lot of torque 

low down (1500rpm- 

4400rpm), these figures 

meeting the low point of 

maximum power at 4400rpm. 

Consequently, it is swift off 

the mark and will lunge to 

high speeds quickly. For the 

record, it will make 100km/h 

from a standstill in 6.7sec, and 

will scorch through a highway 

overtake in 4.4sec (80km/h to 

120km/h). 

Motoring 

Ross Kiddie 

VOLKSWAGEN POLO GTI: Affordable performance 

car. 

The test car was fitted with 

a six-speed direct shift gearbox, 

effectively that means it’s 

an automatic. It is a quickshifting 

transmission with 

ratios that enhance engine 

performance, they are low in 

the first three or four slots, 

broadening to provide relaxed 

highway motoring and fuel 

usage savings. 

Volkswagen claim a 5.9- 

litre per 100km/h (48mpg) 

combined cycle fuel usage 

rating, which sits well with the 

7.2l/100km (39mpg) showing 

during testing time. 

Considering I was aggressive 

with the throttle, exploring its 

acceleration and performance 

potential frequently, those figures 

are commendable. 

At 100km/h the engine 

is relaxed at just 1750rpm, 

returning a fabulous instantaneous 

readout of 4.5l/100km 

(63mpg). 

However, such is the freerevving 

nature of the engine, 

fuel economy often gets 

ignored, the Polo has decisive 

response to accelerator input, 

it is feisty and downright keen 

to pull hard. 

The excitement from under 

the bonnet is matched by a 

firm-riding, sport-orientated 

suspension. The Polo’s set-up 

isn’t as sophisticated as that of 

the Golf GTi, and as its simplicity 

shows, the ride is a little 

harsh, there’s not a lot of compliance, 

but it is engineered 

towards a positive handling 

experience, and to that end it 

excels. 

However, the Polo GTi 

points and turns into a corner 

with decisive steering feel 

and kart-like stability. It is 

extremely nimble and agile, a 

lot of that thanks to the light 

weight of the car in total. 

At 1355kg it isn’t dragging 

around any excess, which 

means a high power-to-weight 

ratio, and with its angry 

engine sound and lovely, but 

subdued, exhaust crackle 

on gearshifts, the Polo GTi 

lures and entices the driver to 

explore its potential. 

At around $39k the Polo 

GTi also comes in with a good 

level of kit. I particularly like 

the tartan seats, they are very 

much a match for Golf GTi, 

alongside that, the Polo GTi 

also encapsulates a lot of what 

Volkswagen represents as a 

performance brand. 

The Polo has been used with 

considerable success in the 

World Rally Championship, 

and the GTi branding benefits 

from that exposure. With 

the way the Polo GTi looks 

and the inclusion of features 

such as a built-in stopwatch 

you could almost believe it is 

meant for competition. 

It’s most certainly an 

exciting car to be behind 

the wheel of, and at its price 

point it is also a realistic 

opportunity for those who 

like something different in a 

sports car. 

• Price – Volkswagen Polo GTi, $38,490 

• Dimensions – Length, 4053mm; 

width, 1751mm; height, 1461mm 

• Configuration – Four-cylinder, frontwheel-drive, 

1984cc, 147kW, 320Nm, 

six-speed automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 6.7sec 

• Fuel usage – 5.9l/100km 

STYLE: Polo GTi is a genuine hothatchback. 

GARDENING ADVICE 

How do I grow Rhubarb and care for it? 

Q Today’s winning question came from Annette. Congratulations! 

A 

Given the right conditions, rhubarb is a 

relatively easy crop to grow that will continue 

producing for a number of years. 

Rhubarb prefers rich, organic, free draining 

soil in a spot that gets full sun. Add plenty of 

compost into the soil before planting with some Garden 

Time TM Chicken and Sheep Pellets. 

Rhubarb is a ‘gross feeder’ so feed regularly with 

Garden Time TM Compost and again, apply organic 

fertilisers like the chicken and sheep pellets in early 

spring and autumn. 

If rhubarb plants dry out, they will collapse very quickly. 

They require regular deep watering during hot, 

dry Canterbury summers, finished with a 

good layer of mulch on top. Mulch helps 

water retention during hot summer days 

and stops plants from drying out. 

Remove the outer 

growth even if you 

Regular mulching throughout the hot summer months is vital in helping you maintain a 

lush, healthy garden. Apply a thick layer on top of soil around plants, trees and especially 

pots, to aid water retention. Avoid watering during the hottest part of the day when plants 

are heat stressed; instead water regularly and deeply in the early morning or evening. 

We have a $95 Daltons Summer Garden Survival Pack to giveaway including: 2x Garden 

Time Landscape Bark 40L, 2x Besgrow Coir Briquette, 2x Garden Time Compost 40L, Garden 

Time Complete Fertiliser 5kg, Garden Time Fruit & Citrus Fertiliser 1.5kg, Daltons Water Storage 

Crystals 250g, plus Red Back gardening gloves from Omni Products www.omniproducts.co.nz

PACK! 

are not using them, to encourage vigorous new stems 

to develop. Only eat the stems; the rhubarb leaves are 

highly toxic so don’t feed them to animals (or humans!). 

Instead, pop them in your compost bin. 

In some parts of New Zealand during winter, rhubarb 

plants can look rather sad, but by spreading side 

dressing of the above organic fertilisers in early spring, 

the plants will quickly recover and flourish in time for

More than ever, we now require our homes 

to be a sanctuary - a primate haven where 

the cares and pressures of the world do not 

intrude. The home should be an enveloping, 

warm and creative environment where family 

members of all ages feel relaxed and safe. 

The longer you live in your home, the more 

likely you are to feel in sync with it. 

As the seasons come and go you’ll have got 

to know which rooms are sunny and which 

ones need brightening. 

You’ll have noted areas prone to damp. 

You’ll have observed where different family 

members like to spend their time and why. 

You might have come to the conclusion 

that major changes are required to make 

your home as healthy as possible, or perhaps 

you’ve concluded that a few simple tweaks 

will do the trick. 

MATERIALS 

The ‘make-do-and-mend’ culture that has 

grown during the recession places emphasis 

on the satisfaction that can be found in 

incorporating natural materials with vintage 

items. Pieces of driftwood, collections of 

shells, that lovely 

moss-covered garden bench or a ‘cleverly’ 

revived piece of furniture all have their place 

in the healthy home and its surroundings. 

This trend steers away from plastics and 

synthetic materials. 

HEATING AND VENTILATION 

A home needs to be cool in summer, with 

plenty of natural ventilation, and warm 

in winter. Traditional open fires are being 

phased out and home owners are discovering 

the joys of installing modern wood burners, 

using gas for heating or installing a heat pump. 

All these options are healthy - technology has 

come a long way and most choices will see you 

saving money in the long run.

throughout Christchurch

STORAGE 

While a minimalist style might be fine for 

single people or couples without kids, when 

the patter of tiny feet comes along, good 

storage is going to be vital at every stage of 

a child’s life - be they babies or teens - they 

come with clutter. The more you can contain 

that clutter the better in terms of both your 

mental health and general safety. 

There are any number of options available, 

from professionally designed cupboards 

and wardrobes, to the simple lidded plastic 

boxes you can buy at chain stores. While 

some people claim they thrive in a messy 

environment. I know from experience that a 

lovely, orderly home is good for the soul. 

COLOUR 

Choosing the 

right colours 

for your home 

can make a big 

difference. Small, 

dark rooms 

can be opened 

up and made 

brighter simply 

by choosing 

the right paint. 

Today’s homes 

tend to be more 

open plan, so 

choose a palette 

of two or three 

basic colours 

and use them 

throughout 

to achieve 

cohesion and 

harmony.

LOCATION: 53 Petrie Street, Richmond 

APPLICANT: Michael Downs – Mike Downs Contracting Ltd 

REFERENCE NO: RMA/2018/2920 

STANDARDS:

with the information submitted for temporary accommodation application, including the environmental 

management plan, now labelled RMA/2018/2920 in Council records. 

Hours/duration 

2. The hours of operation shall be 7:00am to 6:00pm Monday – Friday and 7:30am – 1:00pm Saturdays. No work

4. Upon vacating the site: 

a. All buildings, machinery, material and stockpiles placed by Mike Downs Contracting Ltd on initial occupation 

and throughout the road reconstruction works shall be removed from the site and the site shall be left in a 

tidy condition. 

b. Exposed soil shall be suitably finished, such as with polymer, so as to not cause a dust nuisance to adjoining 

sites, to a standard acceptable to a Council Monitoring Officer. Advice that this work has been completed 

shall be sent to the email envResourceMonitoring@ccc.govt.nz within one week of vacating the site. 

Noise 

5. The generator on site shall only operate during hours set out in standard 2 above.

Guideline construction noise limits). 

7. Activity on the site shall be undertaken in accordance with the Environmental Risk Assessment and Management 

Plan, and NZS 6803:1999 Acoustics - Construction Noise.

9. The surface of stockpiles shall be surface compacted or wetted to form a ‘crust’ or covered with sheeting during 

periods of weather with high erosion potential. 

10. In the event of extreme weather (high winds or heavy rain forecast) polymer & covering of stockpiles shall be 

used to control dust and sediment from stockpiles. 

11. The existing roading shall be regularly checked for sediment being tracked by vehicle movements from site and 

swept as required. 

12. The stabilised exit shall be well maintained so as to remain effective. 

13. Vehicle loading and unloading operations shall occur during times of low wind velocity wherever possible. 

14. If work on the site needs to occur during high wind speeds, the material shall be wetted to prevent the discharge 

of dust beyond the boundary. 

15. If excessive dust is generated, the workers shall apply water, dust suppression or cease work. 

16. There shall be a copy of the environmental management plan made available and made clear to all workers on 

the site. 

17. Standard good practice for dust controls should include the following: 

a. Timing of works including prevalent wind direction. 

b. Covering any stockpiles. 

c. Dampening any exposed soils during dry conditions. 

d. Minimising drop heights from loaders 

18. Stormwater sump inlet protection covers shall be installed in the existing roadside channels surrounding the site. 

Hazardous substances 

19. All refuelling of vehicles shall take place within a bunded area in the site compound. Drip trays shall be used to

should a spill event occur. 

20. All hydrocarbons shall be stored in a bunded area with a minimum 150% containment capacity and locked in a 

container overnight. Only well maintained machinery is to be used at the site, with a spill kit readily available 

should a spill event occur. Vehicles are to be kept in a secured location overnight. 

21. All spoil and other waste materials shall be removed from site at the completion of works. 

General 

22. Temporary fencing shall be erected on the site along the road boundaries with Petrie and Randall Streets. 

23. The activity must not create any significant adverse effects (relating, but not limited to, noise, dust, mud, light 

spill, odour, traffic generation, refuse disposal, animal control and visual amenity) that will, in the opinion of a 

Council Compliance Officer or Environmental Health Officer, cause nuisance for occupiers of surrounding sites. 

24. The applicant shall provide their phone number to surrounding neighbours to contact if issues arise. 

2. ACTIVITY: Temporary relocation of real estate offices (3-5 months duration) 

LOCATION: 16 Medway Street, Richmond 

APPLICANT: Mike Pero Real Estate Merivale (Real Estate Services) 

REFERENCE NO: RMA/2018/3086 

STANDARDS: 

1. The activity must proceed in general accordance with the information submitted to the Council on 14 December 2018. 

2. The hours of operation shall be 9:00am to 5:00pm Monday to Friday. 

3. The temporary accommodation activity shall cease by or on 10 June 2019. 

4. No more than three full time equivalent persons shall be employed on the site. 

5. No signage shall be installed as part of the temporary accommodation activity. 

6. Vehicles shall be parked within the application site or within the road reserve. Vehicles shall not be parked on 

the shared access that crosses 14 Medway Street. 

7. The activity must not create any significant adverse effects (relating, but not limited to, noise, dust, mud, light 

spill, odour, traffic generation, refuse disposal, animal control and visual amenity) that will, in the opinion of a 

Council Compliance Officer or Environmental Health Officer, cause nuisance for occupiers of surrounding sites.
