Good news on Megan’s health

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

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

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

corner) will travel to Cashmere,
Halswell, Sheffield Cres and
Hornby. Buses leaving from
Park Tce (between Salisbury St

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.

The flying foxes and swings
at the Margaret Mahy Family
Playground are out of action for
a month. The cables for the two

Community
service for
‘drown him’
offender
• By Sophie Cornish
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.

Moments later a man armed

Said Sam: “I was really

Sam ran to a nearby house

called.
The robber, described as Polynesian

People’s Choice targets water vote

LABOUR-ALIGNED People’s

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

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

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

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

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.”

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
(0.05).
•For drivers under 20, the
limit is zero.
•Guidance from the
Institute of Environmental
Science and Research
(ESR) indicates that most
adults may be able to
drink two standard drinks
over two hours and are
likely to remain under the
drink-driving limits for
adults.
•A standard drink
contains 10g of pure
alcohol. This is about
330ml of beer, 100ml of
wine or 30ml of straight
spirits.

$1m plan
to heat pool
• By Julia Evans
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.

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

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.

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.

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.

– 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

Moore takes on next challenge
•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

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
Woolston Barrage – has been
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.

GREAT food
BROUGHT TO YOU BY...
Your fresh food people
PEACH, APRICOT AND
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.

If you are concerned about your health
at any stage please undergo a health
check with your GP.
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.

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.
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
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

Coaching positions – Canterbury 1997-2000, Crusaders 2000-2008, Australia
2008-2013, Panasonic Wild Knights 2014-present.
Head coaching title: NPC 1997; Super Rugby 2000, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2008;

they defeated the Hawke’s Bay

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.

their build up to the Touch New Zealand
Junior Nationals.
This is a fiercly competitive three day
tournament and the team is extremely
proud to be a part of this fantastic event.
Since we have come together as a group,
the team has consistently demonstrated a
positive attitude and the desire to always
improve. There is the belief that we can
upset some of the more fancied North
Island teams.
The Under 18 Mixed Team and
management would like to thank all
the sponsors, parents, caregivers and
supporters who have all contributed
throughout the campaign.

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

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

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.

• Dimensions – Length, 4053mm;
width, 1751mm; height, 1461mm

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

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
summer.
You may need to replant your rhubarb every 4-5 years,
however some plants can last much longer.

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.

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.
