Cop

badly
injured
in car
crash
• By Sophie Cornish
A TEENAGER who brutally
bashed a policeman to death has
been seriously injured in a
head-on crash.
Richard Thomas Lakich, now
in his late 40s, suffered numerous
injuries when the vehicle he was
driving was involved in a head-on
smash on State Highway 1 near
Amberley last week.
He remains in Christchurch
Hospital.
In May, 1990, Lakich, then
19, savagely attacked Senior
Constable Peter Umbers late at
night on a quiet country road near
Ranfurly, Central Otago.
Senior Constable Umbers had
stopped Lakich in his car after
he suspected him of robbing a
nearby hotel in Ranfurly.
Lakich took Senior Constable
Umbers’ baton and beat him to
death. The baton was broken in
two places and blood was found
up to 24m from the officer’s
vehicle.

go overseas on a study-related trip.
Bu the university’s dean of

told The Star
yesterday.
The Star has

“UC cannot respond to allegations

ANNUAL PLAN 2019-20

E19/7226
Environment Canterbury is considering its 2019-20
Annual Plan.
While the plan largely aligns with the most recent
Long-Term Plan, small changes to our fees and charges
policy and our revenue and financing policy are being
considered. Increased funding of public transport to
match funding from NZTA and increased funding in water
management, pest control and biodiversity are also being
considered, as well as a reduction in air quality funding.
These will impact on some ratepayers, depending on
their location, when the 2019-20 Regional Council
rate is confirmed.

Dalziel admits conflict over water controversy
MAYOR LIANNE Dalziel has
conceded there is a conflict
of interest over her husband’s
connection to Chinese water
bottling company Cloud Ocean.
Davidson Legal, run by
Ms Dalziel’s husband Rob
Davidson, has been representing
Cloud Ocean Water since
October and had offered to use
political standings to lobby
politicians.
In her weekly column for The
Emma’s big break
A CHRISTCHURCH teenager
is about to follow in the
footsteps of Hollywood icons.
Emma Cushing has secured a
place at New York University’s
famous Tisch School of the Arts
– a dream come true for the
18-year-old.
“The American thing has
always been a bit of a dream
and the dream bit by bit
became reality last year; from
the application process, to the
audition to the email confirming
I had a place at NYU’s Tisch
School of the Arts,” she said
yesterday.

It’s all still very surreal for
last year’s Rangi Ruru Girls’
School head girl. “I’ve lived in
Christchurch all my life. In
fact, at the year 13 Rangi leavers
dinner last year, I was voted as
most likely to be the last person
to leave home,” she laughs.
“Whether it’s acting or
something else on the businessside
of the industry, I have
always wanted to be in the world
of entertainment.” She has been
learning speech and drama
since year 3.
“I really want to make a
difference like Emma Watson,
Star, Ms Dalziel admitted there
is a conflict.
“There is a conflict, and agree
that I should have managed
it by disclosing it to
colleagues at the time a
decision was in front of
council,” she said.
“Now that I’m aware
that an inappropriate offer
for political lobbying was
included in a proposal
sent by Davidson Legal to Cloud
who I admire greatly. She uses
her position in the world to

things. Take what you love and
use it to make change – that’s

But Ms Dalziel said she

After telling her family she
had been accepted, the next
person she contacted was Rangi
principal Sandra Hastie.
“Dr Hastie was my mentor at
school last year. I was so lucky
to meet with her every week and
discuss all sorts of things. We
often spoke of my plans for 2019
and aspirations to apply to NYU
Tisch,” Cushing said.
“She would regularly look me
straight in the eye and say ‘go
for it kid’. She was as nervous as
I. I was so grateful for the time
and effort my teachers put in to
help me during the application
process. Rangi Ruru has played
such an important role in where
I find myself now.”
Cushing leaves to start her
studies in New York in late
August. She credits Crimson

consultant, Kristen Fox, for
helping her get to New York.
“Kristen was a big part of
how I got here. She had access
to all the information I needed
for the application process, the
audition, and even now she’s
there if I need her.”
Rangi provides access for
its students looking at career
pathways to Crimson Education.

Another suspicious
fire on Port Hills
A third suspicious fire was lit on
the Port Hills yesterday. Fire and
Emergency New Zealand said
crews were called to a car fire near
Worsleys Track about 3.50am.
The car was located 1-2km up a
shingle track. Police increased
patrols in the area last week to
prevent more fires following two
suspicious blazes in the area on
March 6. No suspects have been
identified yet.
Man arrested after
police pursuit
A 33-year-old has been arrested
following a police pursuit in
Linwood on Tuesday. The
pursuit was abandoned by police
shortly after it began at 7.20pm.
The man’s vehicle was located
shortly after in Rowcliffe Cres.
He appeared in the district court
yesterday on charges of failing
to stop, dangerous driving and
driving while suspended. He will
reappear in court on April 3.

Woman assaults and

A 43-year-old woman has been
arrested after allegedly assaulting
and kidnapping a man on Friday.
The man, who was known to her,
was assaulted with an air rifle at a
Dallington address, before being
taken to the South Brighton Surf
Club where it is believed he was
left. The woman has been charged
with wounding with intent to
cause grievous bodily harm and

Police are continuing to search
for a man allegedly involved in an

injuries and police are appealing
for information on a second man,
who may also be injured. He was

Crash
injures
cop
killer
•From page 1
The attack stunned the
nation.
Lakich pleaded guilty
and was sentenced to life
imprisonment. He was released
on bail in 2004, after serving
15 years of his sentence and
was living in Kaiapoi.
Sergeant Rene Pabst said a
black Toyota car, which had
been driving north, crossed
the centre line and hit a 4WD
that was heading south. The
Toyota spun around hitting a
truck which was also travelling
south.
He would not say what
vehicle Lakich was driving or
comment further.
He said inquiries into the
crash are continuing. No
charges have yet been laid.
In a 2009 media interview
Lakich said he had suffered
two strokes and a heart attack.
He had cardiomyopathy (heart
muscle disease), suffers from
epilepsy, and would eventually
need a heart transplant. But he
said he didn’t want one.
THE MEASLES outbreak
has now reached 28 cases in
Canterbury.
Canterbury Medical Officer of
Health Ramon Pink confirmed
there are 28 cases yesterday, as
part of a new daily media briefing
now set up to address concerns
about the outbreak.
Two cases have also been
reported in Auckland – An infant
and a young adult have caught
the highly-contagious, infectious
disease.
Now, the
CDHB is racing
to get vulnerable
people in
the region
vaccinated.
An estimated
125,000 people
are in need of at
least one dose.
It said the best
protection from the disease was
for people to have two doses of
the MMR (measles, mumps and
rubella) vaccine.
A supply of 18,000 doses were
expected to arrive yesterday, with
a further 9000 expected arriving
today.
Unimmunised children aged
12 months to 13 years are the top
priority for the vaccine, followed
by teenagers and adults aged 14 to
28-years-old.

Measles tally jumps to 28
Alistair
Humphrey
INFECTIOUS: The number of measles cases in Canterbury
has now reached 28 and there are cases in Auckland.
It was standard practice
between 1969 and 1990 for
doctors to give just one vaccine,
leaving a number of people at
risk.
These people are entitled to the
second MMR dose free of charge.
However, people born before
1969 were regarded to be immune
as they had likely been exposed to
the disease in childhood.
On Monday, the CDHB
advised that of the confirmed
cases one was a four-month-old
baby and four were aged under
five-years-old.
Canterbury Medical Officer
of Health Alistair Humphrey is
recommending parents of babies
under 12 months old intending
to visit Canterbury in the next
few weeks should cancel their
plans if the outbreak of measles
continued to spread.
FAST FACTS
•Measles is a serious and
highly-contagious viral
disease.
•Up to 30 per cent of those
who catch it will develop
complications – usually
children under five and
adults over the age of 20.
•Measles during pregnancy
increases the risk of
miscarriage, premature
labour and low birthweight
in babies.
•Measles is spread through
droplets in the air and
through contact, so
anyone unprotected who
has been in the same
room as someone with
measles is likely to get it.
SYMPTOMS
•A respiratory type of
illness with dry cough,
runny nose, headache.
•Temperature higher then
38.5 deg C and feeling very
unwell.
•A red blotchy rash starts
on day four or five of the
illness, usually on the face
and moves to the chest
and arms.

Rocket fire sparks criticism
Fire chief
unhappy
with
launch
• By Louis Day
ONE OF the region’s top fire
chiefs has joined the criticism
over Canterbury University’s
rocket launch, which led to a
grass fire on tinder dry Banks
Peninsula.
Deputy principal rural fire
officer Al Hutt said the launch
was not handled well.
“The picture we were painted
by the aerospace people (at the
university) was that there was
zero risk of this happening and
I did even ask them what would
happen if it crashed on the spit
and they assured me it wouldn’t
but it clearly did,” he said
yesterday.
Mr Hutt also questioned the
timing of the launch during
a total fire ban season, which
remains in place.
Last week The Star revealed
Canterbury University’s UC
Aerospace had attempted to
become the first student group in
the world to launch a rocket into
space.
The launch was made from
remote Kaitorete Spit near
Birdlings Flat on March 3.
The rocket did not get out of
the Earth’s atmosphere and came
back down on the spit, causing
a fire.
It was supposed to have
crashed into the sea.
The fire was put out by the
students involved in the project
before the Little River Volunteer
Fire Brigade arrived.
Last week Little River
Volunteer Fire Brigade acting
station officer Matt Ledgerwood
news online at www.star.kiwi
FIRED UP: Fire bosses are unhappy a student rocket
launch ended up causing a fire on Banks Peninsula.
told The Star: “With a bit of bad
luck it could have been a lot
worse, luckily the grass was quite
short and there was no wind.”
Rocket launches do not require
a fire permit.
But Fire and Emergency NZ
does have the legal ability to
prohibit or restrict activities in
certain circumstances.
Mr Hutt said they would be
taking a harder line with any
future rocket launches.
“In this particular activity, we
have a bit of case history where it
has gone wrong whereas before
we had nothing. So it would
have been difficult to impose
restrictions on people but now if
they came back I would be able
to say last time this happened
so I am going to impose some
restrictions.”
Canterbury University said last
week there were no current plans
for more launches in the area.
The launch was also criticised
by nearby residents.

Robert Burch labelled the rocket
launch as a “silly thing to do.”
“Why are they launching a
rocket when we have a total fire
ban?” he said.
Birdlings Flat resident Sue
Morrow also had her concerns.
“It’s bloody stupid doing that at
this time of year when it is tinder
dry,” she said.
The rocket launch was part of
the international race to become
the first university group to blast
a rocket beyond the Karman
line.
The Karman line is 100kms
above the earth’s surface and
is widely recognised as the
boundary to outer space.
The University of Southern
California’s rocket propulsion
laboratory set the highest
altitude reached by a
university group in March 2017
at 44kms.

Lime scooters
banned
at family
playground
• By Sophie Cornish
LIME SCOOTERS have been
banned from the Margaret Mahy
Family Playground and Victoria
Square.
Central Ward city councillor
Deon Swiggs asked staff to include
the Armagh St playground
in the prohibited area of the app’s
map, restricting the scooter’s use.
It comes after The Star reported
people were thought to be using
the scooters to mark and vandalise
the playground’s concrete
pavers.
“The playground is a place for
play. You can Lime there, but
soon you may not be able to use
them in the playground area,” Cr
Swiggs said.
Marks have also been left in
Victoria Square. Cr Swiggs is
working with city council staff to
put up signage to let users know
they can’t go through the park.
The Botanic Gardens, central
city bus exchange and Hagley
College are also restricted areas.
The scooters don’t work when
they enter the zones and if
parked there, users can get a fine
or their account banned.

Number of pursuits by police
Police pursuits have
more than doubled
in the last 10 years.
Sophie Cornish
takes a look at the
numbers
LAST YEAR, for the first time
in more than 10 years, the
Canterbury region had more
police pursuits than days – 400
to be exact.
Road policing data for 2018
was released this week, just days
before a joint thematic review
of fleeing driver incidents is set
to be released
tomorrow by
police and the
Independent
Police Conduct
Authority.
The data shows
the Canterbury
metro area had
400 fleeing driver

incidents last
year.
November and December were
the busiest months, with 55 and
46 pursuits respectively.
This is the highest amount recorded
for the region since 2009,
with no data being available
before then.
THE END: Police were forced to block Cranford St with vehicles in July last year in order to
stop a driver who fled police.
The data also shows an increase
in the amount of pursuits
abandoned by police, with 300 in
2018 and 242 in 2017.
Canterbury road policing
manager Inspector Ash Tabb
said while the numbers are high,
less than 0.1 per cent of the 3.5
million vehicles stopped by
police in New Zealand every year
result in pursuits.
“We are also well above the
national average for self-abandoning
pursuits,” he said.
In the last 18 months, 75 per
cent of pursuits in Canterbury
were self-abandoned. The national
average is 59 per cent.
“Our staff are making really
strong decisions to identify the
risks and self-abandon.”
Inspector Tabb said every fleeing
driver event is unique and
there is no one type of person or

factors,” he said. “We don’t want
to see anyone get needlessly
injured or hurt.”
There were three deaths in the
region last year as a result of fleeing
driver incidents. There hadn’t
been a death following a pursuit
since 2013, when there was one.
Alexia Noble-Hazelwood, 18,
was killed on November 16, when
the car she was in crashed, following
a pursuit on Gloucester St.
The driver, Darrin Ray Stewart,
19, fled the scene and has been
charged with manslaughter,
driving recklessly, injuring three
passengers, failing to stop for
police and to check if anyone was
injured. He is expected back in
the High Court on March 27.
Pregnant mother Renee Percy,
35 and Dennis William Tunnicliffe,
25 were also killed when
Tunnicliffe crashed after failing
to stop for police on December 5.
The car crashed into a power
pole on Breezes Rd, Aranui.
Police had abandoned the pursuit
minutes before he crashed.
Tolu Ma’anaiama, 33, of
Woolston, was charged with failing
to stop for police on February
23 and 26. Ma’anaiama’s tyres
were spiked by police and he
allegedly got out of his vehicle
and shot at police multiple times.
He is still in hospital after being
shot by police and his case was
remanded until April 1. He was
also charged with unlawfully
carrying a shotgun, assaulting
a police officer by using a car as
a weapon, and using a firearm
against a member of the police.
STOP: Police
were shot at by
Tolu
Ma’anaiama on
Evelyn Couzins
Ave after a
chase last
month.
TEENAGERS FLEEING
police don’t care about the
consequences – they are often
high on adrenaline and trying
to be “heroes in their own
movies” a criminology expert
says.
Previous reviews into pursuits
have revealed 40 per of drivers
who don’t stop for police are
under the age of 20 and a further
30 per cent between 20 and
29 years old. The vast majority
are male and many are known
to police. Only 7 per cent were
over 40.
Canterbury University criminologist
Greg Newbold said in
many cases those drivers don’t
think about the consequences of
their actions.
“They are trying to be their
own heroes in their own movie,
that’s all it is,” he said.
“They don’t see anyone
getting smashed up so
they think they will be
fine.”
Older drivers had a
very different thought
process when fleeing police
said Prof Newbold.
They may fear being
caught out for doing
something else illegal.

drivers don’t necessarily think
they can get away with it, they
just love the chase and
showing off.
“It’s definitely a male
thing, the machismo,
the fast cars – I think the
adrenaline kicks in.”
Prof Newbold said
there was “simply no real
logic” to fleeing police.
Road safety advocate
Clive Matthew-Wilson
said it was pointless to expect
teenagers to think logically.
“The simple fact is: the part of
the brain that allows an adult to
make rational decisions doesn’t
form properly until the early
twenties,” he said.
Seven of the fifteen people
killed in pursuits in New Zealand
since 2018 were teenagers.
Brothers Craig, 13 , and Glen
Mcallister, 16 died alongside
Craig’s best fried Brooklyn Taylor,
13, when the stolen car they
were in crashed after hitting
police spikes in on Blenheim Rd
in January.

Moore’s Tuesday Club is the place
Former mayor Garry
Moore is unapologetically
curious about everything
going on in Christchurch.
From bureaucracy
to innovation and
everything in between
– if it’s worth knowing,
Moore does. So reporter
Julia Evans went to see
what his weekly Tuesday
Club forum at Smash
Palace was all about
AT 5.30PM on a Tuesday, most
people are stuck in traffic on their
way home from work, pondering
what to have for dinner.
But for the political butterflies,
the socially-motivated and
otherwise inquisitive, there is
only one place to be – a little pub
on High St called Smash Palace,
which is owned by former mayor
Garry Moore and his family.
Specifically, through the bar,
past the bus and tucked away
in the bottom of the former
Brick Farm
building. That’s
where you’ll find
Moore with his
grey beard and
half a pint in
hand – Bodgie

Cartwright
beer, of course,
Smash Palace’s
speciality.
He’s rallying the troops for
Tuesday Club.
It’s his forum, which once a
week hosts a keynote speaker
from a variety of different sectors
to inform and enlighten guests.
Sometimes they might even
be there accounting for and
defending their actions.
In the last year, speakers have
ranged from former governorgeneral
Dame Silvia Cartwright
and city council water supply
improvement programme
manager Helen Beaumont
to Christchurch Central MP
Duncan Webb, Green MP
Golriz Ghahraman, and Stewart
Barnett, a key player in the
development of Dunedin’s
Forsyth Barr Stadium.
KNOWLEDGE: Former
mayor Garry Moore runs
his Tuesday Club out of the
Smash Palace bar, which
he and his family own. The
club hosts a keynote speaker
each week to inform and
enlighten patrons.

Guests arrive in cars, on
bicycles, motorbikes and mopeds
– there’s often even a pennyfarthing
parked to one side.
And Moore says g’day to
everyone.
He knows them all by name –
Colin, Gordon, Patrick, Sara and
Di – asks them how they’ve been
and what they’re up to.

to find out what’s going on in Chch
When everyone finishes filing
in and finds a seat after a pit stop
at the bar, there’s standing room
only. People are standing half out
the door.
The venue is packed out most
weeks with attendees of an
average age of about 60. I was
told a record was broken last
week, eight people under 40 were
there.
It’s not a particularly big room,
and it suspiciously resembles
a classroom with space for a
teacher at the front.
When it’s time to start, Moore’s
booming voice cuts through the
idle chatter of attendees.
“Right!” In spite of the fact he
is actually holding a microphone
in perfect working order.
They were catching up about
how their week had been, the
latest news, how they’re fed up
with chlorine in the water, are
in the throws of setting up a
community garden or whatever
is going on with Donald Trump
and Theresa May.
But the room quickly falls into
silence, as all eyes turn to the
front – pints and glasses of wine
still being periodically sipped.
Some people take notes, many
come armed with hard questions,
but everyone is there to learn.
You might even see one or two
councillors there, or if you’re
lucky, Mayor Lianne Dalziel
could make a cameo – a couple of
weeks ago Dalziel and her deputy
Andrew Turner were the key
speakers.
Moore said the room was
“bursting at the seams” with
people wanting to hear about
how the city council is spending
ratepayers’ dollars in this year’s
Annual Plan.
Last week it was former
camera-man-turned-film-maker,
Gerard Smyth, who is behind the
Christchurch Dilemmas series
speaking somewhat ironically
about the role of the media and
the importance of the fourth
estate. He spoke passionately
about storytelling in the wake of
the earthquake and beyond.
But my journalistic presence in
the room did not go unnoticed.
Nor did the presence of the
jokingly dubbed by Smyth ‘spin
doctors’ from the city council’s
communications department.
When he finished his talk, it
was time to go to the floor for
questions. There were more
than a dozen – longer than the
presentation itself.
CATCH UP: Guests gather
at Smash Palace for Garry
Moore Tuesday Club.
People questioned the city
council’s spend on its own
platform Newsline and why that
wasn’t going into independent
media.
Then I was presented
with the microphone after
one particularly dogmatic
community board member,
Aaron Campbell, turned
attention my way.
I sweated and shook while
rambling through some form
of answer as to why I work as a
journalist.
“Curiosity. I understand my job
is important to get information
out to people.”
A clap from the audience
meant my response wasn’t too
bad.
After a few more questions,
it was over. Though not before
Moore set his sights on RNZ
chief executive and former editor
of The Press Paul Thompson, who
he wants to come to Tuesday
Club and answer why media
agencies are pulling resources out
of the regions.
People stuck around to talk to
Moore or Smyth but after all of
five minutes the room was
empty.
“See you next week,” they said.
Moore promises this year he’s
got some surprises in store for
Tuesday Club.
“What we’re wanting to do is
use technology to bring people
from all over the world to the
Tuesday Club,” he said.
Live streaming guests onto the
pub’s wall is the goal so they can
have speakers from anywhere
and everywhere.
“We want people who have had
a say in their council budget to
come and talk to us about how
they did it.”
There’s also work in the
pipeline for a Tuesday Club for
young people. “I’ve always been
a big supporter of young people,
they need to be involved.”

Work to construct two bus

The south-east and west

If approved, the work would
start in July during the low

A city council report said the
earthquakes and the demolition
of many of the buildings around
the Square’s fringes have left it
worn down and no longer fit for
purpose.
About 40 per cent of the
pavement is damaged and the
lack of lighting in the area

Pier repairs
on budget
• By Matt Slaughter
THE NEW Brighton Pier repair
came in $2 million under budget,
a new report shows.
The repair of all 17 of the pier’s
support columns cost $7.84
million, $2 million less than
the $9.88 million originally
budgeted.
Coastal Ward city councillor
David East said the repairs took
16 months – It reopened in May
instead of the scheduled March.
But Cr East said getting the
work completed as quickly as it
was, had been impressive.
Two cyclones and some difficult
scaffolding positioning had
slowed the project down.
“It’s fair to say the work was
extremely challenging and they
were working in quite a dangerous
and challenging environment.”
The repair was done in stages,
so different parts of the pier
remained open for most of the
project.
“They kept the pier open as
much as was possible for people
to use and they accommodated
fireworks displays and a few other
things as well,” Cr East said.
“It was a pretty cooperative and
challenging sort of exercise.”
The completion of this and
other projects like the New
Brighton beachside playground
were positive signs, he said.
‘Warrant of fitness’ issue for tug
Maritime NZ

• By Louis Day
TUG LYTTELTON will not
be able to carry passengers as
planned because it has not been

A Maritime NZ spokeswoman
said the surveyor was yet to issue
a certificate of survey for the

However, it is now looking
unlikely to happen before this
season ends in April.
Tug Lyttelton Preservation
Society head stoker Mike Bruce
said passenger cruises are now
likely to take place at the start of

The society is now struggling
financially because it has not held

Said Mr Bruce: “We are under

we have just got a bill for our
public liability insurance for
$6000, we just don’t have the
money to pay for it.”

dampened Mr Bruce’s
hopes of getting the tug going

“You pull your head in, you
be nice and polite, you help
where you can and you just get
on with it. We will get there
eventually,” he said.

Bitcoin store closes

No sympathy for
• By Louis Day
NEW ZEALAND’S first ice
cream store to accept Bitcoin
closed yesterday.
Charlato in Sumner was
opened by Charlie Kavanagh at
the age of 18.
Mr Kavanagh said 10 to 15
people paid using Bitcoin during
the two years the store was open.
“It was definitely worth doing,
a lot of people would see the
poster and have a bit of a laugh.”
Bitcoin is a digital currency
which exists only online and is
one of more than a thousand
“cryptocurrencies.”
It has come with harsh warnings
from investors and traders
worldwide for its volatility and
lack of regulation.
However, Mr Kavanagh said
the precarious nature of the cryptocurrency
did not have a significant
impact on his business.
“I only had $50 invested in it so
it didn’t really affect me.”
Mr Kavanagh worked for the
previous owners of the gelato
container and decided to take
over when they closed.
“I was just hanging out with a

to the pub to have a few drinks

fraudster –
sentencing trust
• By Sophie Cornish
THE SENSIBLE Sentencing
Trust says there should be no
sympathy for the fraudster who
begged not to be sent to jail
because he might die there.
Brendon Karl Dean Harris,
24, was jailed for two years and
nine months on Tuesday for his
involvement with a group which
gained hundreds of thousands of
dollars scamming elderly people
in Christchurch.
He pleaded with Judge Jane
Farish in the district court to not
send him back to jail after he got
“very sick” there last time.
Harris needs weight-loss
surgery, but has a heart
condition, which is stopping him
from getting the surgery.
Sensible Sentencing Trust
spokeswoman Jess McVicar
said Harris should have thought
about the consequences before
he stole from the elderly.
“He has offended before
and spent time in prison and
obviously didn’t learn anything
from that stint and as soon as
practicable, he should be sent
back to serve his time
for committing the crimes
against our vulnerable elderly,”
she said.
“Brendon Harris made a
conscious choice to scam the
elderly, he knew what he was
doing deliberately targeting
them. He says he doesn’t want
to die in jail – he should have
thought about that before he
stole so much from them.
“He has offended before
and spent time in prison and
obviously didn’t learn anything
from that stint and as soon
as practicable. He should be
sent back to serve his time for
committing the crimes against
our vulnerable elderly.
“We have no sympathy for
him, given he knew what to
expect. It’s about actions and
consequences and there must be
consequences for his actions. If
he needs to lose weight before
he can have a heart operation,
then surely it is his responsibility
to do so and not expect to be
handed a get out of jail free
card instead of paying for his
crimes.”

Mr Cooper is set to take part
in his first City2Surf and will do
the 14km race.
“I just want to keep fit and test
the legs on running the distance.”
Mr Cooper
plans to run a
half marathon
(21km) – which
is on his bucket
list – and
believes this is a
step towards the
Aaron Cooper
goal.
“It’s the first
time I’m running
14km. I’m a surfer, I’m not really
a runner. I used to play rugby
until I was 21 . . . and, yeah, it
[running] is just something I’ve
always wanted to do,” he said.
Mr Cooper’s wife often takes
part in multi-sport events but
she will greet him at the finish
line as the couple have two young
children.
“When she gets fit, we’ll
definitely be doing other races as
a team,” he said.

her first
City2Surf
this year.
“It’s just a wee challenge to just
test myself for a bit of fitness,” he
said.
“[The first time] was good. I
want to try something further, I
did the 6km [last year] and want
to try the 14km.”
He has been training hard
for the event and says he will be
ready for the race on March 24.
“Currently I’m doing it myself
but we’ll see if my partner does it.
That will be just a wait and see.”
Hailey McConchie, 25,
Spreydon
The mother of two used to be
focus on body building, but since
having her second child last year,
she’s switched to running.
It will be her first City2Surf.
“I’ve never been a runner.
People who tend to lift weight do
not like cardio whatsoever,” Mrs
McConchie said.
To lose weight after pregnancy,
she took up running. “I’ve lost a
lot of my baby weight . . . I started
an eight-week challenge and lost
about 6kg,” she said.
Getting into running was
difficult.
“At first it felt like a long time
to get running, even that first
kilometre. It felt like ages,” Mrs
McConchie said.
She will be taking part in the
6km event. “Every time I see a
race I just enrol myself and just
build myself in it.”
Mrs McConchie has heard
great things about the City2Surf
but couldn’t take part in it last
year as she had just given birth to
her second child a month before
the event. “I’d like to keep my
running up [this year]. It’s not
something I really enjoy but once
I find my rhythm 2-3km in, that’s
when I can see why some people
are addicted to running,” she
said.
Kelly Clements, 46,
Hillmorton
Mrs Clements doesn’t live
far from the start line near
Centennial Park. She says the
City2Surf is a good excuse to not
pay for a gym
membership.
“It’s just my
one thing that
makes me head
out and train
each year. It’s
not too far being
only 14km.
Kelly
Clements
Rather than
paying for a gym
membership, I
sign up and it makes me run,”
Mrs Clements said.
This will be her fourth
consecutive City2Surf. “A friend
got me into running and it was
that whole give it a go, it’s a
reasonably flat course and lots of
fun,” she said. Unfortunately her
friend has rolled her ankle and
Mrs Clements will be running
the event solo for the first time.
“I’ll be on my own but that
doesn’t matter because it’s so
well set up you don’t really care,
you just run. “I haven’t stopped
[training] all year but I probably
stepped up distances in the last
six weeks. There might have been
a few 5km runs but I stepped it
up to a few 10km.”

“She’s doing it more for a

which is probably a good thing,”
Mr Tredinnick said.
“When you’ve got a peg in

Mr Tredinnick’s goal is to
finish the event.
“I will sort of have it as a

Next year he will be looking to

They were put in at the

The body

Said Ms
Steven: “It is an
offence under
the Resource
Turner
Management Act if you do
something with your land
that is not either permitted or
authorised by a resource consent,
so what they have done is an
offence under the act.”
She has asked the city council
to seek a retrospective resource
consent. Said Ms Steven:
“Without going through the
process of gaining a resource
consent, the city council has
bypassed the hearing process
which gives interested parties an
opportunity to speak
in support or opposition
of what is being proposed.”
A Bruce Apartment
Body Corporate spokesman said
it was an absolute disgrace it was
not consulted before the toilets
were put there.
“City council contractors have
been filmed pumping out these
ugly toilets at daybreak, causing
loud noise and distress to our
owners and guests, many of
whom are paying over $300 per
night for the privilege of being
caught up in this circus,” he said.
Deputy Mayor and Banks
Peninsula city councillor Andrew
Turner believed the failure to
seek a resource consent was an
oversight from city council staff.
“There has been a degree of
embarrassment around the fact
that consent was not applied for
when it should have been. City
council has a duty to lead by
example in these situations,” he
said.

CBHS road improvements finally passed
• By Georgia O’Connor-
Harding
TWO COMMUNITY boards
had to meet again to pass safety
improvements for cyclists on a
busy Fendalton road after a they
failed to do it last year.
The decision has come six
months late because there were
not enough Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood and Halswell-
Hornby-Riccarton community
board members at a meeting
in September to make a formal
decision on the improvements to
Kahu Rd outside Christchurch
Boys’ High School.
The original meeting was
deemed invalid due to the
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board only having
four members present.
A quorum of five members
from each board is needed to
make a formal decision.
Last year, CBHS expressed
concerns over the safety of road
users and the large number of
students who cycle to the school.
CBHS has had a significant
redevelopment, causing cycle
parking facilities to be relocated,
which resulted in significantly
greater cycle activity on Kahu Rd
outside the school.
Kahu Rd resident Leigh
Webber said he was very disappointed
in the process.
Residents were concerned
the city council staff
recommendation to have
drop-off and pick-up zones on
both sides of Kahu Rd and no
stopping on Girvan St would
mean a loss of car parks.
However, the board members
went against the staff recommendation
and approved the
installation of a drop-off and
pick-up zone on the north side of
Kahu Rd.
It will be in effect between
8.30-9.30am and 2-4pm,
Monday to Friday. Outside
these times parking will be unrestricted.
​
CBHS senior master Craig
Dunnett said it would have been
nice if the improvements had
happened earlier.
“Any change is a good change
if it is going to make it safer
for the school users and the
community users on the road
there,” he said.

Women inspire students
IN THE LEAD up to
International Women’s Day on
Friday, Rangi Ruru Girls’ School
and Christ’s College students got
together to discuss women they
admire.
Author JK Rowling, female
politicians and, of course, mums
and sisters were among those
identified by the students, as
well as a group of sisters from
Christchurch in the late 1880s.
Rangi Ruru was established
in Webb St, Papanui, by the
Gibson sisters 130 years ago.
They wanted to provide an
environment “where girls could
flourish and excel.”
Rangi Ruru student head of
school Rachel McSweeny said
there’s a great deal of
admiration for the women who
founded Rangi Ruru.
“We have tried to encapsulate
the idea the Gibson sisters had
of creating a place where young
women could be the best they can
be in a safe, secure and supportive
environment,” she said.
To reflect the Gibson sisters’
idea, Rachel said the school
theme this year is “flourish”.
Every year the student
leadership team, comprised of
eight year 13 students and 12
clan leaders, chooses a theme for
the year.
“As young women in 2019, we
are fortunate to have so many

way for future generations,”

greater success. Taking a risk in a
supported and safe environment
is a good time to try things
you might otherwise not have

“It can build confidence and
emotional resilience, which
especially for young women is
really important.”
A video produced by Rangi
Ruru students, with assistance
from Christ’s College, went live
on both schools’ websites on
Friday. It hopes to encourage
others to think about and thank
the women they admire most.
And what would the school’s
1889 founders think of the world
for women today?
“I believe the Gibson sisters
would be very proud of Rangi
Ruru in 2019, as we inspire,

Dog scares
robber
from dairy
• By Sophie Cornish
A NEW Brighton dairy that
has been robbed at gunpoint
more than once has scared away
another potential robber with a
dog.
A man entered Beachcomber
Dairy on Rawson St just after
9.10pm on Sunday, wielding a
machete and making demands to
staff.
A police spokesman said the
man is believed to have been deterred
by the owner’s dog and left
the dairy on foot, empty handed.
He said police inquiries into the
incident are ongoing.
The dairy was previously
robbed in February 2018 and
again in June 2014. On both occasions
the offenders presented
firearms and made threats to staff.
In December, Tainui Smith and
Jayden Brown were jailed for the
February robbery, where more
than $2000 of cigarettes and cash
were stolen.
Previously the dairy owner
Zeny Cargill said it had a security
smoke system installed, which
produces a dense white fog to
obscure vision and presents a confrontational
barrier to intruders.
Ms Cargill did not want to
comment about Sunday’s incident.

the message, her friend explained that she was in Vietnam, had been
robbed and had no way to get home. She asked for money to be sent urgently
via bank transfer.
Fortunately, Kate knew this wasn’t true as she’d only just seen her friend a
couple of days before. She realised that the message was a fake and that,
somehow, her friend’s Facebook account must have been attacked. Her friend
was upset when she found out but it did make her see how easy it was for
someone to tap into her personal information.
At CERT NZ, we hear of many situations where
people have received messages on social media,
supposedly from a friend or family member,
asking for money. Not only is the thought of
someone pretending to be you frightening, it’s
also worrying that people you care about may
believe what they are reading and get caught
up in the scam. It’s easy to think they won’t, but
these fake social media messages can look very
real and be very convincing.
So how does this happen?
Fake social
media
messages
can look
very real
and be very
convincing.
Cyber attackers are always looking for easy ways to find out personal
information online. And sometimes the information we post on social media
is exactly the type of information they are looking for.
If you use personal information in your passwords, such as your birth date,
your dog’s name, or where you went to school, chances are an attacker
can find out this information through your social media activity and figure
out your password. Then, hey presto, the attacker can convincingly
impersonate you.
My advice to avoid being caught in this type of situation is to beef up your
security and get password smart.
Create long, strong passwords that don’t include any personal
information. Use a four word phrase that only makes sense to you,
eg.Cricketbatsandwickets.

Exhibition to mark
Sumner Rd reopening
THE HISTORY of Sumner
Rd has been captured in
exhibitions being held to
celebrate its reopening.
The exhibitions, at Lytteltton
Library and the
Mataku Takotako: Sumner
Centre, tell the story of the
road and the important
role it has played in linking
the communities.
They have been put together
to celebrate the postearthquake
reconstruction
of Sumner Rd, which is due
to reopen to traffic for the
first time in eight years at
6pm on March 29.
“Since Sumner Rd
opened in 1857 it has
played a vital role in
Christchurch’s transport
network,’’ said Lyttelton
community librarian
Annette Williams.
“It has been a crucial
route for carting goods
between the port and the
city and over the years it
has had everything from
churches to planes hauled
along it.”
Ms Williams said it also
played a role in the defence
of Christchurch against
possible enemy attack.
USAGE: A plane is among the over-sized items
that have been trucked along Sumner Rd.
“In the late 19th century,
when there were fears the
Russians were going to
invade, gun emplacements
were installed at strategic
points along Sumner
Rd. During World War
II Sumner Rd was again
pressed into service by
the military who saw it as
strategically important to
coastal defences.’’
The exhibitions detail the
engineering work that has
gone into keeping Sumner
Rd open for the past 160
years.
Photographs and video
of the work that has been
done to reinstate the road
are also included.
The Following the Sumner
Rd: An exploration of its
past and present exhibitions
are on at the Lyttelton
Library and the Mataku
Takotako: Sumner Centre
from Saturday to April 28.

Use different passwords for each of your online accounts. That way
if someone guesses one of your passwords, they can only access that one
account. If you have trouble remembering them, write them down but make
sure you store them away from your computer and phone. You could also try
using a password manager – an app that stores all your passwords in
one place.
Social media is a great thing – so too is having strong and unique passwords.
Please take a moment to change your password on one of your accounts
today. And spread the strong password message to your friends and family –
via social media of course!
PS: It’s a good idea to set your social media settings to private so that only
your friends and family can see what you’re up to.

Time to get shots
SINCE OUR last update
we’ve had a pretty cruisy
week.
It’s been excellent, I’ve
barely driven further than
30km the whole time.
Vittoria has thoroughly
enjoyed the car seat reprieve.
In spite of this, it was
me suffering in the car on
Tuesday morning.
With all the measles
cases popping up in the
region, we booked Vittoria
in for her next stage of immunisations
as soon as we
could.
Unfortunately, that
meant 8.30am on a Tuesday.
But Vittoria and I
needed to stay in Waikuku
and we couldn’t move the
appointment.
With the rush on the
measles vaccine I didn’t
want to risk missing out.
Anyone who’s ever done
the North Canterbury to
Christchurch commute will
understand why this is a
bit of a stretch if you don’t
leave early enough.
So, for the first time in a
long time, I woke up before
Vittoria and then in turn
woke her at 6.30am.
Having said that, we
didn’t leave until 7.45am.
By the time we hit the
Main North Rd, we were
IMMUNISED: Vittoria
was all smiles before
she got her injections.
knee deep in traffic, time
was ticking and my road
rage was kicking in.
I was sweating, watching
the minutes creep by.
Meanwhile, Vittoria was
chilling in the back seat,
having a sip of water when
we were forced to crawl
along.
If you were driving there
at the same time, I’m sorry,
I definitely called you some
very carefully selected
VITTORIA
& Matt
words.
Not swear words of
course, as bubs might pick
that up.
No, I likely called you a
spoon or a muggy fluffer.
I need not have stressed
really, we got there just in
the nick of time to wait in
the waiting room for the
vaccines to be ready.
Now, having whinged
about myself, I need to extol
the virtues of my daughter
because she did great.
She cried a bit when the
needles went in (just two
this time) but was running
around outside smiling and
laughing two mins later.
She was even her happy
self for the rest of the day.
But, we’ve not long
noticed that she’s pushing
a molar out. So watch this
space as to whether her
happy self sticks it out.

OUR PEOPLE – Rebecca Gibbs
Embracing a new look and
Illustrator Rebecca
Gibbs recently
published her first
colouring book, Animals
of Aotearoa, and has
illustrated the Rancho
Cucamunga Kids books.
The former teacher, who
suffers from alopecia,
a condition causing
hair loss, also made a
video which went viral
after she launched
her wedding ring into
space. Sophie Cornish
finds out more
You describe yourself proudly
as an alopecian? Tell me about
your illness and journey with it?
I have an auto immune disease
and the alopecia is a symptom of
that. I have always had thyroid
issues, which is linked to your
function overall. You always
hear about what stress and poor
mental health can do to your
body. I got married really young
to a not very nice person. It took
me a while to get out of that
and back on my feet. I started
teaching straight out of teachers
college, straight out of high
school, so I was a really young
teacher. I think that my body had
kept me going for all those years
and then when things started
to go smoothly, my body just
malfunctioned, my brain was
under so much pressure and my
hair was suddenly the enemy. I
went from having waist length
strawberry blonde hair to being
completely bald in three months.
It was hard for me to lose control
of my body, also the fact it’s
so obvious. I couldn’t teach
physically without getting unwell.
If I do more than two days in a
row, I am in bed with migraines.
It’s been weird, I have always
been reasonably fit my whole life,
doing tramping, mountaineering
and rock climbing. So it’s weird
not being able to walk the dog for
45 minutes without having to rest
for 45 minutes afterwards. I am
putting all my experience into
a new book called Miss Cook’s
New Look, about a bald teacher
who turns up to school one day.
That is who I am, people are
always stopping me and saying
“oh you are really brave” but I
don’t think it’s brave, there’s just
not enough of us to go around
who feel confident to wear it. I
meet people who feel great in
a wig, and that’s great. I just
can’t be bothered dealing with
the emotional energy of trying
to hide it. Some people have
alopecia genetically, or they get it
as a child, or it comes and goes.
There are three types of alopecia
and I have the universalis type,
which means hair does not grow
on your whole body at all. I’m
like a little naked frog. It’s great
because I save on shampoo and
conditioner, razors, I’m always
beach-ready. With my thyroid, I
have a lot of energy issues. I get
really bad fatigue and anxiety,
I have never had it before and it
was very strange. I was 32-yearsold
when I got my first bald
patch. It was winter 2017 when I
first diagnosed.
Tell me about the books you
have illustrated and published
so far?
I published a children’s book
in October called The Six-Foot
Rats, with the New Zealand
Anti-Vivisection Society. It
actively campaigns to end
animal experimentation in
New Zealand. They are all
about promoting human and
computer-based models, rather
than animal-based models,
which are actually unreliable.
I didn’t realise, until I was
approached by them and did
my research and I was pretty
shocked. Then I got sick myself
and looked at all the things being

done to cure my disease. It is
really disheartening because it
is all animal-based and is not
going to translate into a cure for
me in my lifetime. I am pretty
passionate about that. The book
is in the perspective of a lab rat.
He thinks he is doing research
for other rats and he finds out it
is actually for humans. He has a
bit of a melt-down and wants to
leave, but he can’t because he is in
a lab. Then NZAVS come in and
save him at the last minute and
he goes to live with them. It is the
way of introducing the idea to
kids. The thing that is most

not regretting anything
important to me is for the
children to ask questions and
be presented with factual
information. I didn’t want to
make the book scary in a way
that would traumatise children. I
wanted to explain it in a way that
would plant the seed for children
to be interested in science and
about how nine out of 10 drugs
that pass animal testing, fail
human testing. That is a 90 per
cent failure rate. It’s cruel and
unnecessary. It was my first book
that I have written or illustrated.
I have gifted a percentage of my
profits from it back to NZAVS.
They now have 80 per cent of the
money needed to get the book
into every primary school library
around New Zealand. I also had
Dr Jane Goddall review my book,
that was fantastic.
What other work have you
done as an illustrator and
author?
After I got sick I couldn’t really
teach anymore, I found that
physically it was too much. I had
to find a way to utilise that part of
my skill set and also pay the rent.
So basically I started creating art
resources that teachers could use
to create really awesome art. It is
a pre-packed activity – they don’t
have to be great at art.
They started off being murals,
so the kids all get a piece and
then they do the drawing and
you put it all together and it
creates a mural. I am integrating
my Maori design and I ended up
with about 20 of these resources.
I was looking at the images and
thought these would be great as
a colouring book. I went back
in and revised the designs and
put together this book called
Animals of Aotearoa. It is
exciting and special to me. My
aunty who passed away after a
short illness with cancer just
over a year ago, she was really
into colouring. She had all the
colouring books, she would sit
there for hours colouring, so I
wanted to create something really
special that I could dedicate to
her. So, that one’s for her.
Tell me about the time you
went viral on the internet?
As I mentioned, I had a failed
marriage. After the marriage
ended he continued to bombard
me on email and social media.
I constantly had to change my
accounts all the time. Then he
started spamming me with
our wedding video that was on
YouTube. So I thought, I am
going to talk in your language.
At the time, I was dating a
guy and his brother had some
association with rockets. So
we decided to put together this
rocket and we got permission
to launch it. So, I put the ring
in it and we drove out of town
to launch it. It didn’t break the
atmosphere, but it went very far
away, it was definitely kilometres.
As you do in the early 2010s, I
mixed the video of it to a Beyonce
song, Best Thing I’ve Never Had
and posted it as a reply.
One of my friends saw it and
shared it and next thing I knew I
was getting a call from reporters
asking me about it. I spoke to
them, but they got lots of things
wrong. They got so much wrong
that it was almost damaging to
my then boyfriend and his family
at the time. They were put in the
deep end because the reporter
INSPIRATION: Rebecca in 2015 before she developed
alopecia. She hasn’t let it hold her back, she released the
book The Six-Foot Rats last year to raise awareness about
animal experimentation.
actually misinterpreted what
had gone on. So I took the video
down and just tried to keep my
head down. It was a bit of a bad
experience actually.
The Huffington Post went all
through my Facebook page,
searching my friends list until
they found a friend who had
limited privacy on their account
and then went through their
friend list until they found
someone who had shared my
post and uncovered all these
posts and put them online.
I did receive a lot of emails
from people saying “that was
awesome, that was just what
I needed to see and hear” and
telling me about their marriage
problems and men who were
invading their online space. So
that made it well worth it. He
stopped also, he sent me an email
saying “point taken.”
I wish I had more control over
the narrative. I felt really bad
because it was something funny
and a symbolic, kind of online
anonymous thing, suddenly
turned into a big stink. But, I
don’t regret things, because they
turn you into the people you
are.
What’s it like living in
Diamond Harbour? Why there?
It’s so good – don’t tell anyone.
I moved here because around
about the time I got sick, my
aunt also got sick. She was
diagnosed with terminal cancer
and her diagnoses and passing
away was in a short period of
time, about six weeks. After
going through something like
that, it put things in perspective.
I wanted to move, I didn’t
want to do another winter in
Christchurch. I saw there was a
little place in Diamond Harbour
that was cheap, plus she let me
have my dog. It’s awesome, it’s
like growing up in Gisborne,
everyone is friendly, people
drop off baking, I chat with the
neighbours kids over the fence.
It’s a great place to be if you are
an illustrator, I am being inspired
just outside my window. Right
now I’m looking at the light on
the dry hills and tomorrow it’s
going to be raining and horrible,
but that will be great too. There is
no ugly concrete or cars.

Mayor responds to water saga
Mayor Lianne Dalziel
has been under fire
since it was revealed
her husband Rob
Davidson’s legal firm
is representing the
controversial Chinese
water bottling
company Cloud
Ocean Water. Ms
Dalziel explains her
position in her weekly
column for The Star
THIS WEEK there have
been issues raised about my
husband’s law firm providing
employment relations advice
and support for Cloud
Ocean and whether that has
compromised my ability to
make impartial decisions in
regard to water bottling.
Firstly I would like to make
it clear that at no stage have I
been lobbied by my husband
or any other member of his
firm on anything to do with
Cloud Ocean.
As you may recall, I wrote
my February 7 column in The
Star on my support for the
Aotearoa Water Action case
against the resource consent
granted to Cloud Ocean by
Environment Canterbury.
I have been repeatedly
news online at www.star.kiwi
outspoken about my
opposition and my position
remains unchanged.
Am I involved in any
decisions about Cloud
Ocean’s water bottling plant
or water take?
No, those issues are dealt
with at an organisational level
rather than a political one.
Building consent decisions

are made by regulatory staff
of the city council and elected
members cannot influence
those decisions.
Resource consent decisions
for water take are made by
ECan under the Resource
Management Act and in
accordance with the Land and
Water Regional Plan.
When the issue of the
resource consent application
came before the city council
as a staff submission to
ECan, I voted to strengthen
our opposition to it and was
shocked when the decision
was made not to notify the
application.
How did you manage the
apparent conflict of interest?
I didn’t know my husband’s
law firm was acting for Cloud
Ocean last year when I voted
with the city council to oppose
the application.
I became aware earlier this
year that they were acting for
the company.
However, as it was only in
the field of industrial relations,
I did not initially see it as a
conflict.
But I now feel that there
is a conflict, and agree that
I should have managed it by
disclosing it to colleagues at
the time a decision was in
front of council.
Now that I’m aware that an
inappropriate offer for political
lobbying was included in a
proposal sent by Davidson
Legal to Cloud Ocean, I am
recusing myself from any
decision that comes to council
associated with the company.
Sadly that includes the
Aotearoa Water Action case,
which I still support.

Homelessness strikes a chord
• By Georgia O’Connor-
Harding
FIONA PEARS believes no one
should have to suffer from a lack
of medical care.
That is why the 44-year-old
violinist has decided to organise
a concert to raise money to cover
the medical costs of the city’s
homeless.
All of the funds raised from
The Gift Of Music, which will
be staged at the Christchurch
Transitional Cathedral later this
month, will go to the cause.
From a young age, the
Lyttelton musician said she
found walking past the city’s
homeless upsetting.
“In all honesty, I have never
coped . . . there were not so many
homeless people out on the street
when I was in my 20s. But even
then I just used to get so upset,”
she said.
At the end of last year, she
decided instead of being sad, she
would do something about it.
Everyone involved in the show
has given their time for free –
from the musicians and sound
and lighting technicians to the
cathedral staff.
The money raised from the
concert will go to the Street Wise
charity, which is in the process
of finding doctors to support the
cause.
The charity was co-founded
last year to provide food and
clothing for those in need by
former heroin addict River
Jayden, who has been clean for
10 years.
Ms Jayden said organising
of the show has created “great
friendships” and brought skills
in from different areas.
“(I’m) very blown away, this is
Fiona’s dream and we have been
able to make it happen.”
The concert will feature music
from the New Zealand Army
Band, acclaimed fingerstyle
guitarist Graham Wardrop and
Pears.
The show will be a “feel-good”
concert with songs ranging from
Frank Sinatra to Stevie Wonder,
Pears said.
She has had an extensive
international career, which has
news online at www.star.kiwi
included performing at the
prominent Ronnie Scott’s Jazz
Club in London and Joe’s Pub in
New York city.
Pears described homelessness
in the city as “the elephant in the
room” and something people
get desensitised to as they grow
older.
“It hits hard when you are
lying in a warm bed and you go
out for coffee at Ballantynes and
walk out the door, all of a sudden
you are faced with somebody

A report on severe housing
deprivation in New Zealand
from Otago University
researcher Kate Amore found
homelessness in Christchurch
grew by 43 per cent between
2001 and 2006 and eight per cent
between 2006 and 2013.
So far, the show has made close
to $5000 in ticket sales. Pears
said she will be “over the moon”

ONE OF the city’s biggest theatre
companies is helping raise funds
to fight HIV.
Showbiz Christchurch has
partnered with the New Zealand
AIDS Foundation as part of its
first major production of the year
– We Will Rock You.
The rock musical, based on the
songs of British rock band Queen
and written by Ben Elton, will be
staged at the Isaac Theatre Royal
at the end of the month.
For the last two years, Showbiz
has partnered with Christchurch
Pride.
Showbiz marketing manager
Wendy Riley said it is appropriate
the company widens that
partnership to include NZAF.
Showbiz will be supporting the
Choice campaign to end HIV by
donating all profits from its We
Will Rock You ticketed backstage
tour to NZAF.
It will also be collecting
donations at performances and
making a donation at the end of
the season.
In 1991 Queen lead vocalist
Freddie Mercury died from
bronchial pneumonia, which was
caused by AIDS.

Come and meet Mas Sajady
Mas Sajady, survivor of two near death experiences
(NDEs), Transformational Catalyst, & Founder of
Medihealing®, is bringing his rare knowledge and abilities
to New Zealand March 2019 Inaugural Visit.
A TRUE STORY - Near Death Experience
In 2006, Mas Sajady, an avid outdoor enthusiast, was
a successful computer programmer and father of four
children when his life literally turned upside down. He
clinically drowned while on vacation with his family in
Belize. While tubing down a river in the rainforest, he was
forcefully pulled into an underwater cavern and pinned
far below the surface for over 8 minutes. After fighting to
escape, he eventually was outside his body, ascending
into a higher realm of consciousness where he discovered
being limitless. When he later woke on a pile of rocks, he
noticed he could see the frequencies that make up our
world.
Sajady’s Abilities after his Near Death Experience
Following two near death experiences (NDEs) Mas Sajady
was gifted with intuitive and healing abilities so potent
that he has been likened to some of the most significant
healers in history. He has the ability to assist in shifting
individuals’ programming, frequencies and distortions, by
removing the energetic blocks at spirit level, creating fast
and tangible results in all areas of life. He calls himself
a “Frequency Catalyst” and notes we are all made up of
frequencies stating, “When you change your frequency,
you change your life.” He continues, “When people are
connected with their core energy at such a deep level,
they can transform their lives dramatically and instantly.”
Everyone is capable of achieving this on one’s own, but
Sajady empowers people to connect with these higher
energies faster and with more efficiency.

Venerable Geshe Nyima Dorjee (known as Geshela) will be holding
Breathing Mediation classes over the weekend…this is the foundation

concentrates the mind to build mental pliancy.
Geshe Nyima Dorjee was born in Tibet and fled to India as a young
teenager. At a young age he had the strong imprints of wishing to be a
monk, and joined the local monastery in Tibet before fleeing. The title
‘Geshe’ is granted to those that have completed 25 years of extensive
study, practices and been examined by highly esteemed lamas. Geshela
graduated from Sera Monastic University in South India. His main
teachers included His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, the late Venerable
Khensur Urgyen Tseten, Venerable Khensur Kangurwa Lobsang Thupten
and Venerable Khenpo Lobsang Palden.
Geshela is the resident teacher for Christchurch, a rare opportunity as
there are only five Geshes currently in New Zealand. Geshela teaches
Buddhist philosophy, bestows initiations and conducts monthly
blessings and pujas.

GARDENING 29
Harvest the last of your summer crops
AUTUMN IS a great time to
tackle jobs in the garden that
the heavy summer heat doesn’t
permit, like getting your lawn
back into shape.
Plus it’s an ideal time to sow
winter crops if you haven’t
already.
Here are five tasks to get you
started.
1 The beauty of growing fruit
trees at home means harvesting
fruit when they are at their best.
Tree ripening enhances flavour
and results in juicy, delicious
fruit picked right at their peak.
The last of summer fruit crops
like peaches, nectarines, grapes
and passion fruit come to an
end. Use bird netting to ensure
our feathered friends don’t steal
the last of the harvest.
2 Harvest remaining summer
crops as they come to an end and
start sowing and planting winter
veges. This is especially important
in cooler areas of the South
Island. The reason we do this a
little earlier than other regions
is so plant roots have time to
establish before temperatures
drop and growth slows. Winter
crops include beetroot, broccoli,
carrots, cabbage, cauliflower, silver
beet, spinach and those great
South Island root crops; swedes
and turnips.
WE ALL know garlic wards off
vampires, but did you know it also
keeps away aphids, apple scab, leaf-curl
and mosquitoes?
Crush a few cloves, soak in a litre
of water for a couple of days and use
as a spray to keep at bay ants, spiders,
caterpillars and cabbage and tomato
worms too.
And, did you also know, it’s said to
provide many health benefits I’m not
qualified to list?
To put it simply, garlic’s right up there
with marigolds as the companion plant
every garden should have.
And this month, specifically the
shortest day of the year – 21 June, is the
time to plant it.
VIVID: It’s time to remove old sunflowers and cornflowers and prepared beds for winter
flowering displays. Autumn is the ideal time to repair or sow lawns.
3 It is important to ensure
plants enter their dormant season
in the best health. Give them
a final application of fertiliser
so they’re in good condition
to withstand cooler and wetter
winter months and are ready
Look for a well-drained spot – pots,
hanging baskets or any available space
in your raised garden will suit.
If you’re growing it for its guardian
capabilities, plant it next to your roses
to ward off aphids, beneath apple and
peach trees to prevent apple scab and
leaf-curl, and next to your tomatoes to
protect against red spider.
Dig in some compost, and nitrophoska
blue fertiliser or use a potting mix if
you’re planting in baskets or pots.
Plant single cloves twice the depth of
the actual clove, compost over the top
and don’t fill in with soil.
Then harvest on the longest day of
the year – 21 December. It’s as easy as
that.
for growth in spring. In cooler
regions apply fertiliser to fruit
trees, ornamental plants, shrubs
and roses up until the end of
March.
4 Summer flowering annuals
are coming to the end of
their growing season. It’s time
to remove old plants and prepare
beds for winter flowering
displays. Prepare soil by adding
in plenty of compost and mix in
well with existing soil to a spade
depth. Some favourite winter
Garlic – the ideal companion plant
annuals to grow are; alyssum,
calendulas, cinerarias, cornflowers,
larkspur, pansies, poppies,
primulars, stock, sweet william
and violas. Grow them in the
garden or containers to brighten
up the winter months. If planting
in containers, toss out old potting
mix. Old mix will be lacking
nutrients and over time can break
down and cause poor drainage.
5 Late March is an excellent
time for lawn renovation or
the laying of new lawn as
this coincides with the cooler
temperatures and more consistent
rainfall. Use a lawn patch for
tiding up smaller areas. Lawn
fertiliser can now be safely applied
in cooler regions where there is
reasonable rainfall. If there is a
dry spell, water regularly to ensure
the fertilisers are washed into the
lawn.

DURING THE Christmas
holiday break my wife and
I undertook three long
road trips, covering almost
the entire length and
breadth of the South Island.
As you would expect, we
encountered a lot of traffic
near the popular tourist
destinations and, as a consequence
I took advantage
of the many overtaking
opportunities. I’m always
interested in what other
drivers are using as transport,
and I take a keen
interest in those vehicles
I’m passing.
One car in particular
stood out, not because it
was towing a large cabin
cruiser, nor the fact that
I was stuck behind it on
a hilly section heading
towards Nelson, but it
seemed an unlikely tow
vehicle for such a large
trailer. The vehicle was a
Volkswagen Touareg, one
of the latest generation
models which was I was
to have in my care shortly
after returning home.
I never considered the
Touareg as an ideal tow car,
but with its four-wheeldrive
system, 3500kg tow
rating and powerful diesel
engine, I guess all the
ingredients stack up.
The Touareg is all-new
for 2019, and it encapsulates
all of the ingredients
of its predecessor, it is a
large sport utility vehicle
which is an ideal alternative
to, say, Porsche’s Cayenne
and Audi’s Q7, also out of
the same family.
The Touareg lands here
in two turbocharged diesel
V6 variants. The evaluation
car was the high power
engine, taking into account
it lands here with 170kW
or 210kW.
The high power version
also gets a stunning
600Nm of torque, and if
you combine those figures
you get a high performance
vehicle which has keen
acceleration – a standstill
to 100km/h time of 6.1sec
can be expected.
The engine sits longitudinally
under the bonnet and
drives through an eightspeed
automatic gearbox.
The transfer of power is
seamless and well arranged
through a sequential-shifting
transmission.
Power arrives smoothly,
but with a hint of a howl as
the revs rise, the engine is
not strained but if you listen
intently it is audible; as
VW TOUAREG: Suitable tow car.
a consequence, the driving
enthusiast will enjoy the
sound. That is the essence
of Touareg as a whole, it is
an inviting model to travel
in, both as a passenger and
as a driver.
On the long Canterbury
straights it whisks through
the air with nary a murmur,
the test cart was fitted
with an air suspension
option ($6000) which
offers high comfort levels,
yet body control in a corner
is well arrested.
• Price – Volkswagen
Touareg, $107,990
• Dimensions –
Length, 4878mm;
width, 1984mm;
height, 1702mm
• Configuration – V6,
four-wheel-drive,
2967cc, 210kW,
600Nm, eightspeed
automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 6.3sec
• Fuel usage –
6.1l/100km
The suspension adapts
well in all situations, I didn’t
take the test car off-road
as such, but I did tackle a
short undulating unsealed
Port Hills track and I can
confirm there is long travel
movement within the suspension
components and
controlled ride.
Of course, there are several
drive modes in the Touareg,
some for off-the-seal and
sport, or economy settings
for all other journeys.
The evaluation car was
fitted with what I describe
as the world’s best rubber
– Pirelli PZero. The
huge 285/45 x 20in tyres
have a strong footprint on
the road, and they deliver
beautiful feel back to the
steering wheel. As a consequence,
the Touareg feels
balanced and secure and
if you push quickly into
a corner it belies its bulk,
reacting like a sports car.
There’s also another surprise
with Touareg, for all
of its power and strength
it is also an amazing fuel
miser. Volkswagen claim
an 8.1l/100km (35mpg)
combined cycle average
for the 210kW engine
(8.7l/100km – 170kW).
During my time with the
test car the readouts were
close to that at 9l/100km
(31mpg), along with an
instantaneous consumption
of 5l/100km (56mpg) at
100km/h, the engine turning
over leisurely at just
1400rpm in eighth gear.
These are great figures for a
vehicle which weighs in at
just over two-tonne.
The Touareg isn’t a
budget model, but even
at $109,390 ($94,190 –
170kW) it is cheaper than
the two in-house rivals I
mentioned in my introduction.
It is chock full of
fitment, and the in-cabin
environment has been
engineered so that occupant
comfort is a major
reality.
For my money, and saving
$15,000, I’d be a low
power buyer, it also gets a
solid 500Nm of torque and,
in typical diesel fashion,
the outputs arrive low in
the rev band.
Even though the Touareg
is a big car, some buyers
may be put off by its fiveseat
configuration only.
However, there are advantages,
the car I passed heading
north was fully loaded
in the cavernous cargosection,
up to 810-litres can be
carried at the rear.
What Volkswagen has
done with Touareg is
rather remarkable, in all
forms it is a complete
driver’s car, and yet it also
has the practicality for all
situations.

CITY 2 SURF TRAINING PROGRAMME
WEEK 9: Plan the plan
2 weeks out and it is time to look forward
to the event and start planning the day.
The start is at 9am. Are you planning to
roll out of bed at 8am, have a quick coffee
and toast and hurry to the start? Or do
you get up at 6.30am to have a decent
breakfast, leaving you plenty of time for
the digestion and to get ready to arrive
at the start in plenty of time? I suggest
that this week on the Wednesday or
Saturday, you actually practice your race

day routine so it is familiar to you on the
day. You won’t know what the weather
will be like until a couple of days before
so don’t worry about that now, just be
prepared for every weather condition.
This is Christchurch autumn with all its
unpredictable weather patterns from
a warm nor’west day, to snow! So find
some gloves, a hat, a polypropylene top
and a jacket in case you need these. And
don’t forget the sunscreen.

Your training this week is still solid with
the last long run on the Wednesday as
the taper to freshen up the legs starts in
the weekend. If you feel a bit underdone
don’t fall into the trap of doing “catch
up training”. That is putting in some
extra sessions or going a bit longer and
harder than indicated. You take a risk of
injury or excessive tiredness and it is too
late to have much of an effect anyway,
so relax and stick to your plan!

TIP OF THE WEEK
A normal breakfast
before you take part in
an endurance event is
taken 2-3 hours before
the event. It should
consist mainly of slow
release carbohydrates,
also called foods with a low
glycaemic index.
Low GI foods include oatmeal (rolled oats), skim
milk, most fruits (except grapes, watermelon
and banana’s), nuts and whole meal bread. In
the 2 hours before the event you don’t need
much. You can sip on a sports drink or have a
banana if you feel hungry but you don’t want to
start with a full tummy and the right breakfast
will keep you going till the finish.
The nutritionists at SportsMed can assist with
your nutrition if necessary.

Blair paints it red and black
Swapping a
rugby ball
for a roller
•Over the Super Rugby season, The Star
will look back each week at some of the
identities who graced the Crusaders jersey in
the past and discover where they are now
BOSS: Ben Blair (right) keeps a close eye on one of
his painters Hayden Crosbie. (Below) Blair kicks in the
Crusaders Super 12 semifinal against the Stormers in
• By Gordon Findlater
BEN BLAIR made his mark
on a star-studded Crusaders
backline between 2001 and
2004. And since 2015, he’s
been leaving his mark around
Christchurch with a paint
brush.
The former fullback played
28 matches, scoring 159 points
for the Crusaders, before spells
with the Highlanders and then
the Cardiff Blues in Wales. In
2013, he returned to Christchurch
following a 12-year professional
playing career and has
since picked up a brush.
“I needed a break from the
game when I got home to be
honest – I was a bit burnt out,”
said Blair.
“I was working for a builder
in the EQC days and I was
looking after the painting side
of things and then I decided to
go out on my own.”
Blair has now been out on his
own for more than three years
and has 11 staff.
He also returned to rugby as
a backs and kicking coach with
Lincoln University in 2015.
“John Haggart, who coached
me at the Highlanders, asked
me if I’d like to come and help
out at Lincoln, so I thought why
not,” said Blair.
“It’s more something that I do
for enjoyment . . . I enjoy taking
some of the stuff I learnt as a
player and trying to put that
into practice.”
In his four years at Lincoln,
the side won four straight metro
rugby finals and Blair was able
to work with some of the country’s
most promising backs.
“We had some really talented
players there like Jack Goodhue
and Jordie Barrett,” he said.
A more than reliable penalty
kicker in his day, Blair also
spent time crafting the likes of
Barrett and current Crusader’s
first-five Brett Cameron’s goal
kicking.
“Yeah I do a bit of kicking
with the guys . . . I can still slot
a few over. I’ve lost a bit of dis-
2004.
tance, but still can kick alright.”
This year Blair will take on
a new challenge as an assistant
coach with his former club
Marist Albion. His coaching
abilities will be put to the test
at a side that doesn’t boast the
same level of talent as Lincoln.
However, he is relishing the
challenge.
While part-time coaching
keeps more than enough on his
plate currently. He isn’t ruling
out looking at is as a career
further down the track.
“It’s quite hard to combine
running your own business
with having a family and doing
rugby . . . At the moment I just
want to focus on my business
and family, but long term I
wouldn’t mind going overseas
and coaching somewhere,” said
Blair.
Blair’s road to the Crusaders
began at the age of five at the
Ngakawau Rugby Club, north
of Westport.
His move to Christchurch
came as a teenager when he
received a scholarship to play
rugby at St Andrew’s College.
Blair played senior club rugby
in his first year after school for
Marist at just 17-years-old and
made Canterbury and New
Zealand age group sides before
cracking Canterbury’s NPC side
in 1999 at 20.
“It only feels like a couple of
years ago you’re at school and
then all of a sudden you’re playing
with all of these guys you’ve
been watching . . . It happened
really quickly,” said Blair.
Blair entered the Crusaders
at a time when the side featured
a backline including strong
kicking All Black’s Leon Mac-
Donald, Andrew Mehrtens and
Aaron Mauger.
“Leon was generally the starting
fullback and I was there just
pushing him really without ever
getting in ahead of him. But, I
was always trying to give him
that competition,” said Blair.
He believes that level of
competition within the squad is
what helped the 2002 unbeaten
side be as successful as they
were and can see parallels with
the current Crusaders team.
“That’s what happens when
you’ve got healthy competition
within a squad, it can drive everyone’s
performances up. That’s
something you can see within
the Crusaders at the moment.”
The four cap All Black was
picked up by the Highlanders
in 2005 where he spent two
season, making 23 appearances
and amassing 217 points.
Blair then became a star for
the Cardiff Blue when he joined
the club in 2007. He spent
six years in Wales and is still
Cardiff’s all-time leading points
scorer with 1078 points
Towards the end of his playing
days with Cardiff Blair suffered
knee issues which caused
him to miss 13 months.
He did return to play and
then signed with French club
Agen. However, after a flair up
with his knee in his last match
for Cardiff he was unable to
play for his new club and forced
to retire.

in brief
Orange out of drivers
champs, Williamson in
Blair Orange’s decision to withdraw
from harness racing’s World Drivers
Championships will see Oamaru
driver Matthew Williamson instead
represent New Zealand in Sweden in
late May. Williamson finished fourth
in last season’s drivers premiership
with 83 wins behind Orange, Dexter
Dunn and John Dunn. However,
he is currently second to Orange in
this season’s premiership. Orange
decided to withdraw to stay in New
Zealand to concentrate on local
business.
Ransley finishes
second in Toyota 86
Jaden Ransley has had to settle
for second in the Toyota 86
Championship after being collected
by another driver which flipped
his car. The Prebbleton 17-year-old
went into the final round of the
championship at Hampton Downs
with a 19 point lead. However,
while in third position during the
weekend’s first race, he was taken
out by Connor Adam. After working
through the night to get his car in
working order Ransley finished third
and eighth in the final two races. The
title was won by Callum Hedge.
Goulding helps US
college to title
Mary Goulding made a star
contribution to help her United
States college basketball side,
Fordham University, win the
Atlantic 10 Championship. The
22-year-old from Christchurch
added an impressive 19 points,
three rebounds and four steals in
Fordham’s 62-47 win over Virginia
Commonwealth University in the
championship game. Following
the game she was named in the
all-championship team and was
also named the tournament’s most
outstanding player. The win earned
Fordham just their third ever trip
to the NCAA Tournament which
begins on March 22.
Smith, Janssen join
Rams squad
The Canterbury Rams have signed
Sam Smith and Jonathan Janssen
for the upcoming season. They have
both recently completed four years
of United States college basketball.
Smith recently completed his senior
year with Texas Wesleyan University.
Janssen is an Australian native who
will play as a local player for the
Rams on a New Zealand passport.
Mariu bowls Blackcap for 99
• By Gordon Findlater
ST ANDREW’S College
batsman Rhys Mariu showed
former Black Cap Hamish
Marshall he’s no mug with
the ball either when he clean
bowled him middle stump in
Wellington.
Mariu, 17, was the lone
Christchurch player selected in
the first ever Maori Schoolboys
team which played the Governor
General’s XI at Karori Park.
Marshall, 40, turned back the
clock and reached a half century
off 36 deliveries.
He continued his batting
onslaught, hitting the Maori
Schoolboys bowlers around the
park, looking a shoe-in for a
deserved tonne. However, the
leg-spinner Mariu foiled his
plans, dismissing him for 99.
Marshall played 13 tests and
66 one-day-international for
New Zealand between 2000 and
2007.
Mariu finished with bowling
figures of 10 over, for one wicket
at 59 runs.
He then opened the batting for
the Maori Schoolboys scoring 36
from 42 deliveries before being
caught behind off the bowling of
former Auckland domestic rep
Jono Sole for 36.
After being set 315 runs to
win the Maori Schoolboys
fell just eight runs short after
batting out their 50 overs.
Next month Mariu will join
fellow Canterbury players
Nick Lidstone, Angus Sidey
and Jesse Frew in the New
Zealand under-19 team’s tour of
Bangladesh.
MOMENT: St Andrew’s
College student Rhys Mariu
had a ball to remember when
he removed Hamish Marshall.

CONTENDERS: The CBHS coxed eight will head to Maadi Cup on a high
after blasting past 2018 champions Christ’s College by more than 14secs at
the SISS Championships.
PHOTOS: STEVE MCARTHUR​
Paving the way for
a successful Maadi
• By Gordon Findlater
CHRISTCHURCH Boys’
High School’s coxed eight
are in the hunt to add
their name to the Maadi
Cup for the first time in
history after storming
to victory at the South
Island Secondary School
Championships.
The CBHS under-18
coxed eight won their final
major hit out on Lake
Karapiro in commanding
fashion ahead of the Maadi
regatta, which begins on
March 25.
A tail wind helped
them finish in a blistering
time of 5mins 51.77secs,
more than 14secs ahead
of defending Maadi Cup
champions Christ’s College
in second.
In terms of national
sporting achievements,
there’s not much CBHS
hasn’t done.
However, they are yet to
win the Maadi Cup.
“We’re all aware of that.
They got close in 1999 . . .
We’re lucky this year that
we have a big group of year
13s. We haven’t necessarily
said this is our target, but
if they go fast in something
then we’ll make it a target,”
said CBHS rowing coach
Logan Keys.
Now in his eighth year
with the programme, Keys
said the group of 61 rowers
in the largest the school
has had in his time.
“They got a little bit of
a taste of it last year and
they’ve all hung around,”
said Keys.
“We started with two
eights. We had 16 guys
going for it and have spent
all year trying to whittle it
down. We haven’t quite got
there yet, but it’s getting
pretty close . . . In previous
years we might only have
had eight guys.”
The eight of Scott
Shackleton, Tom Fraser,
Cameron Long, Ethan
Alderlieste, Cameron Henderson,
Angus Templeton,
James Glover, Ben Brown
and Timothy Heritage
(cox) were one of eight
gold medals for CBHS –
making them the most
successful boys’ school at
the South Island regatta.
CBHS also won the
boys under-18 coxed
four which will have
them in contention for
the Springbok Shield –
contested at the Maadi
regatta – they narrowly
missed out on last year.
Rangi Ruru was the top
girls’ school with four gold,
six silver and three bronze
medals.
“The crews can be
pleased with their achievements
this weekend and
should pat themselves on
the back for their efforts.
The coaches, parents and
management are in awe
of them,” said Rangi Ruru
rowing manager Ella Vink.
Meanwhile, St
Margaret’s will go into the
Maadi regatta as the South
Island favourites in the
Jubilee Cup after winning
the girls under-18 coxed
eight at the weekend.
MEDAL HAUL:
Rangi Ruru
was the top

THE NRL match between the
Warriors and Manly Sea Eagles
at Christchurch Stadium on
March 30 is expected to bring an
economic benefit to the city of
nearly $6 million.
Going on last year’s figures,
where 17,300 watched the match
between the two teams in
Christchurch, a similar crowd
will ensure city businesses will
again reap the benefits.
Last year, 5331 fans from
outside Christchurch travelled
to watch the match, including
900 from Auckland, 300 from
greater Wellington and 120 from
Australia.
Justin Wallace, of Walco
Events, promoters of the match,
said the financial impact that
matches such as this have on
Christchurch’s economy should
not be under-estimated.
“There is the direct benefit
for the hospitality and
accommodation sectors and
others such as taxi drivers. Then
there is the indirect benefit from
the television exposure that
Christchurch receives from the
live telecast,” he said.
“The Warriors have been in
great early season form, so we
are confident they will start
strongly and still be unbeaten
by the time they arrive in
Christchurch.”
Manly are a different team this
year under double grand-final
winning coach Des Hasler and
won’t be an easy side to play.
“Last year’s game was a night
to remember and ticket sales
show that Christchurch people
love big events and seeing some
news online at www.star.kiwi
Manly v Warriors: Equals $$
of the biggest NRL stars in
action. There are still good seats
left and we suggest people not
leave it to the last few days and
risk missing out,” said Wallace.
Once again, Manly will wear
a special Ngāi Tahu-inspired
playing strip for the match.
Also at stake is the
Broadhurst-Shelford Trophy,
READY FOR
BATTLE:
Former Manly
now Warriors
player, Blake
Green (left), and

Trophy.
which recognises two former
Canterbury greats, Mark
Broadhurst and Adrian Shelford,
who represented Manly in the
1980s and 1990s, and started
their careers in Christchurch.
•The match kicks off
at 5pm. Tickets can be

in brief
Waimairi ends
Cashmere dominance
Waimairi defeated Cashmere
to win the Canterbury
premier interclub tennis
title on Saturday. The win
ended Cashmere’s run of five
successive titles. Playing at
home, Waimairi won the two
opening doubles ties to seize
the initiative. Harry Weeds
pegged back a tie for Cashmere
by defeating Glen Wilson in
three sets. However, Waimairi
secured the title when Matthew
Alexander defeated Cashmere’s
Matt Meredith in straight sets.
Maiden national title
for Katherine Camp
Katherine Camp brought to
an end the seven year reign of
Angie Petty as senior women’s
800m champion to land her
maiden national title in the
New Zealand Track and
Field Championships at Nga
Puna Wai. The 27-year-old is
enjoying the form of her life
and was content to stalk the
front-running Petty for much
of the race until launching her
winning strike down the home
straight. Camp followed up
the effort by also winning the
women’s 1500m title.
Bring back Canterbury Draught for the fans
AT LAST commonsense looks
set to prevail. After a shock move
in 2014 to dress the Canterbury
Kings in purple and gold,
our twenty20 cricketers are
understood to be returning to
red and black next summer.
The move to purple and gold
made no sense to me at the
time, but the move back to out
traditional red and black has got
me thinking what else we could
do to increase the passion we
show for our Canterbury teams.
Let’s look at the deep and
dark pathway to find how we’ve
gone from sell-out crowds and
100,000 people lining Colombo
St for a Crusaders victory parade
in the 1990s to now struggling
to more than half fill our 18,000-
seat tent in Addington, even
though where watching arguably
the greatest Crusaders team of all
time. I’ve come to the conclusion
that there’s been a steady drop
off in our passion to rally behind
our teams since the untimely
death of ‘our beer’ – Canterbury
Draught.
My first memories of watching
rugby and cricket at a boisterous
One-eyed Cantab
Gordon Findlater
gordon.findlater@starmedia.kiwi
Lancaster Park are filled with
the sight of Canterbury Draught
flying into the air every time a
Mexican wave made its way to
the old concrete embankment.
Those were the glory days.
We had our team and we had
‘our beer’. But the Canterbury
Brewery was destroyed in the
February 22, 2011, earthquake,
and we lost our brewery, then we
lost ‘our beer’ after production
of Canterbury Draught outside
of Christchurch by Lion Nathan
was ceased.
Now the die hard Canterbury
fan who refuses to develop a
palette for local craft beer is
forced to cheer on his beloved
team while downing a pint of
Otago, West Coast or Auckland
beer.
The Canterbury Rugby
Union has tried its best to fool
us into developing a passion
for their phantom red and
black Crusaders beer on sale
at the tent. However, we can’t
be tricked into developing a
connection with Monteith’s – a
West Coast beer – dressed in
red and black for marketing
purposes. One region that
doesn’t face this issue of
disconnect is Otago. Highlanders
fans are able to drown in their
‘pride of the south’ Speight’s,
which sports the blue and gold
colours of their home. Is it a
coincidence the Highlanders
averaged a crowd size of 15,667
in 2018 – the highest of any NZ
franchise?
As sport fans we’ve had it
rough post-quake in Canterbury.
We’ve been denied a proper
stadium but it’s time to say we
want ‘our beer’ back. It can be
done. Lion recently revived its
presence in Christchurch with
The Fermentist. Load up the vats
with Canterbury Draught!

The Best Kept Secrets
to Selling Your Home
Selling Secret #1: The first impression is
the only impression
No matter how good the interior of your
home looks, buyers have already judged
your home before they walk through the
door. You never have a second chance to
make a first impression. It’s important
to make people feel warm, welcome and
safe as they approach the house. Spruce
up your home’s exterior with inexpensive
shrubs and brightly colored flowers. Entry
ways are also important. You use it as a
utility space for your coat and keys. But,
when you’re selling, make it welcoming by
putting in a small bench or a vase of freshcut
flowers.
Selling Secret #2: Always be ready to show
Your house needs to be “show-ready” at
all times – you never know when your
buyer is going to walk through the door.
You have to be available whenever they
want to come see the place and it has to
be in tip-top shape. Don’t leave dishes in
the sink, keep the dishwasher cleaned out,
the bathrooms sparkling and make sure
there are no dust bunnies in the corners.
It’s a little inconvenient, but it will get your
house sold.
Selling Secret #3: The kitchen comes first
You’re not actually selling your house,
you’re selling your kitchen – that’s how
important it is. The benefits of remodeling
your kitchen are endless, and the best part
of it is that you’ll probably get 85% of your
money back. It may be a few thousand
dollars to replace countertops where a
buyer may knock $10,000 off the asking
price if your kitchen looks dated. The
fastest, most inexpensive kitchen updates
include painting and new cabinet hardware.
Use a neutral-color paint so you can
present buyers with a blank canvas where
they can start envisioning their own style.
If you have a little money to spend, buy
one fancy stainless steel appliance. Why
one? Because when people see one highend
appliance they think all the rest are
expensive too and it updates the kitchen.
Selling Secret #4: Take the home out of
your house
One of the most important things to
do when selling your house is to depersonalize
it. The more personal stuff in
your house, the less potential buyers can
imagine themselves living there. Get rid
of a third of your stuff – put it in storage.
NEW LISTINGS
This includes family photos, memorabilia
collections and personal keepsakes. Staging
simply means arranging your furniture to
best showcase the floor plan and maximize
the use of space.
Selling Secret #5: Don’t over-upgrade
Quick fixes before selling always pay off.
Mammoth makeovers, not so much. You
probably won’t get your money back if you
do a huge improvement project before you
put your house on the market. Instead,
do updates that will pay off and get you
top dollar. Get a new fresh coat of paint
on the walls. Clean the curtains or go buy
some inexpensive new ones. Replace door
handles, cabinet hardware, make sure closet
doors are on track, fix leaky faucets and
clean the grout.
Selling Secret #6: Conceal the critters
You might think a cuddly dog would warm
the hearts of potential buyers, but you’d be
wrong. Not everybody is a dog- or catlover.
Buyers don’t want to walk in your
home and see a bowl full of dog food, smell
the kitty litter box or have tufts of pet hair
stuck to their clothes. It will give buyers the
impression that your house is not clean. If
you’re planning an open home don’t leave
your pets around.
Selling Secret #7: Play the agent field
A secret sale killer is hiring the wrong
real estate agent. Make sure you have an
agent who is totally informed. They must
constantly monitor the multiple listing
service (MLS), know what properties are
going on the market and know the comps
in your neighborhood. Find an agent who
embraces technology – a tech-savvy one
has many tools to get your house sold.
Selling Secret #8: Light it up
Maximize the light in your home. After
location, good light is the one thing that
every buyer cites that they want in a
home. Take down the drapes, clean the
windows, change the lampshades, increase
the wattage of your light bulbs and cut the
bushes outside to let in sunshine. Do what
you have to do make your house bright and
cheery – it will make it more sellable.
Selling Secret #9: Half-empty closets
Storage is something every buyer is looking
for and can never have enough of. Take
half the stuff out of your closets then neatly
organize what’s left in there. Buyers will
snoop, so be sure to keep all your closets
and cabinets clean and tidy.

While many of us
take part in celebrating
St Patrick's Day, there
are probably few
New Zealand's who
know much about the
Patron Saint
of Ireland
ST PATRICK was born somewhere on the west
coast of Britain and when he was 16 he was
captured by raiding Irish ships and taken to Ireland
to be sold as a slave. He was bought by a man
called Milchu who put him to work shepherding his
flock on a mountain side.
One night Patrick had a dream in which he heard
a voice telling him to leave the mountain side and
go down to the coast where he would find a boat to
take him back home. When he reached the coast he
saw the boat, as the dream had promised, but
unfortunately as he had no money the boat’s captain
refused to take him. The boat sailed away, but wasn’t
long at sea when a fierce storm blew up. The crew
fearing death told the captain that it is vengeance for
not letting the lad aboard. Out of fear they turned
the boat around and went back for Patrick.
Patrick went on to study to become a priest and
eventually was made a bishop.
In a recurring dream he heard the voices of the
children of Ireland calling him back to teach them
about God, so returned to Ireland and went straight
to see his old captor Milchu. This is where Patrick
began converting the Irish pagan people to
Christianity. While trying to explain the Holy
Trinity he is said to have used a shamrock leaf to
demonstrate how there could be three separate parts
to the shamrock but only one leaf - and so the
shamrock symbol of Ireland was born.
St Patrick’s Day is celebrated on March 17 as it is
believed to be the date St Patrick died.

APRIL 7!
AS Stage 2 of the Richmond Club
rebuild takes shape, next door in
the Club the bistro is also
undergoing some changes. BISTRO
1888 opened this week under the
direction of the club’s new chef
Jason Teau.
A new temporary menu has
been launched while Jason and the
team mastermind the perfect menu
for the club.
“We want to give locals really
good food but keep it affordable,”
said Jason.
In the meantime, a snap shot of
what could be on offer is available,
and if the popularity of the current
menu is anything to go by, the new
menu should be very well received.
One such dish is Jason’s Hoki-
Hash served with roast corn salsa,
green salad and a poached egg and
priced and just $15.
Another dish to keep an eye out
for is Jason’s signature Chocolate
Mousse. It’s deliciously decadent!
“By request we can cater to
people’s dietary requirements and
have a great kid’s menu.”
Originally from Otago, Jason’s
background includes working in the
kitchens of some of Dunedin’s well
known restaurants such as the
Lonestar and Joes Garage, as well as
a successful stint running his own
business in Melbourne’s St Kilda.
Now based in Christchurch he
says he is excited about expanding
the catering into the Club’s Stage 2
rebuild.
BISTRO 1888 is open 7 days a
week.
