We will be stronger 

Mayor Lianne 

Dalziel says 

the world will 

remember how 

Christchurch 

responded to the 

terror attacks 

THE TRAGEDY that has unfolded in 

our city has touched all of us. 

No one has been unaffected and 

our city will never be the same. 

But we will not be defined by this 

one act of hatred. What we will be 

remembered for is the way we have 

rallied together in the wake of these 

tragic events and shown love and 

compassion towards each other. 

The chalk messages of support 

drawn on footpaths, the ever-growing 

pile of flowers, soft toys and candles 

placed outside the mosques and in 

Rolleston Ave are the images the 

world will remember of Christchurch. 

What I will remember too is the 

simple gestures of kindness – the 

baking dropped off to welfare centres, 

the donations that have poured in, 

the hugs people have given to show 

their support and shared grief. And 

the way that our amazing people 

have come together to honour the 

victims of Friday’s shootings and to 

show their intolerance for hatred and 

violence. 

This weekend there will be more 

opportunities for people to come 

together and to send a clear message 

to the world that we are a city that 

welcomes people from all cultures, 

religions and backgrounds. That 

we are a city that cares and stands 

united. 

There will come a time when we 

come together as a city, and a nation, 

with our Muslim communities. First 

we must give them time to bury their 

loved ones and a time to mourn. In 

the meantime, the students who led 

the Strike 4 Climate are now leading 

a March for Love, which will begin in 

North Hagley Park at 10am on Saturday. 

And on Sunday night there is 

the Remember Those Who Lost Their 

Lives 15-3-19 vigil, a citizen-led vigil 

in North Hagley Park from 5-7pm. 

BEAUTIFUL HEART: Canterbury University student Manar Ibrahim said the shooter 

who took her uncle’s life has only brought the community closer together. 

• By Georgia O’Connor- 

Harding 

“ALTHOUGH HE did so 

much damage to us, he broke 

so many hearts and ruined so 

many lives, he has kept us all 

united.” 

That is the message from 

19-year-old Manar Ibrahim 

about the accused gunman 

who took her uncle’s and many 

of her close friends’ parents’ 

lives in the terror attack at the 

Deans Ave mosque on Friday. 

The Canterbury University 

civil engineering student told 

The Star she is not scared and 

the shooter has only brought 

the community together. 

“He was trying to divide us 

up . . . he thought he would 

be the first person and many 

more would follow but he has 

put us in union. He has kept us 

together”. 

Miss Ibrahim said this shows 

through the donations and 

support flowing into the Muslim 

community from people 

of all different religions and 

backgrounds. 

She said while many of her 

friends did not know a lot 

about the Muslim religion she 

could see how it had hurt and 

upset them. 

Miss Ibrahim was at Canterbury 

University when she first 

heard the news of the attacks. 

“My reaction was dad, I was 

screaming dad because I knew 

he was in there.” 

Soon after the news broke 

she saw the live broadcast of 

the terror attack online. 

“To me they were innocent 

people going to pray . . . all I 

could really remember when I 

saw the video was the one guy 

who passed away saying hello 

brother (to the shooter).” 

“To me, in my eyes, that is 

what Islam is, we do accept 

everyone. There is no hatred 

from us towards him.” 

Since the attacks, Miss Ibrahim 

has been keeping herself 

busy by volunteering at the 

crisis centre set up at the former 

Canterbury Horticulture 

Centre in Hagley Park. 

“It helps me to be of any use. 

Sitting at home the night it 

happened, I felt so helpless.” 

She intends to go back to 

university today to ensure 

she doesn’t get behind in her 

course. While Miss Ibrahim 

was born and raised in the city, 

her parents moved from Egypt 

in 1993. 

She said when she was growing 

up she went to the Deans 

Ave mosque and would go as 

many Fridays as she could. 

“All the people in there 

we all knew each other . . . 

they are still my family in 

there that passed away,” Miss 

Ibrahim said. On Monday, 

Miss Ibrahim spoke at the 

university’s Band Together 

service, which more than 4000 

students attended. She went on 

to share the powerful speech 

by a Muslim woman who goes 

by the Facebook name Jinghan 

Naan and runs a blog The 

Radiant Muslim. Ms Naan’s 

open letter best summarised 

how the Muslim community is 

feeling, Miss Ibrahim said.

Father and son buried 

THE FIRST two people to be 

buried after last week’s mosque 

attacks were a father and his son. 

Khaled Mustafa was 44 and 

Hamza Mustafa was 15. Hamza 

was a pupil at Cashmere High 

School and was compassionate 

and hard-working, according to 

the principal Mark Wilson. 

Hamza was an excellent 

horse rider who aspired to be a 

veterinarian, Mr Wilson said. 

Hamza’s younger brother 

Zaed, 13, sustained gunshot 

wounds to the leg in the attack. 

Mourners at Memorial 

Park Cemetery in Bromley 

yesterday carried the bodies to 

a freshly dug gravesite, where 

hundreds gathered around to 

watch. 

Some were invited to scoop 

handfuls of dirt on top of the 

bodies. 

Authorities spent four days 

constructing a special grave at a 

cemetery which is designated for 

Muslim burials. 

The families of those killed 

had been anxiously awaiting 

word on when they could bury 

their loved ones. 

It is expected all of the victims 

of Friday’s terror attacked will 

be laid to rest at Memorial Park 

Cemetery. More burials were 

scheduled last night. 

Sheik Taj El-Din Hilaly, 

of Sydney, travelled to 

Christchurch to attend or lead 

some of the funerals. 

Through a translator, he said 

he felt compelled to support the 

grieving. 

A nationwide lockdown on 

mosques has been imposed until 

Monday, which Hilaly said had 

upset Muslims whom he had 

visited in Auckland. 

POLICE commissioner 

Mike Bush has commended 

his “courageous” officers who 

arrested the alleged gunman 

Brenton Tarrant 21min after 

they were alerted while he was 

on route to another attack. 

Mr Bush said it took 5min and 

39sec for police to be armed and 

on the scene ready to respond to 

the attack. In 10min the armed 

offenders’ squad was on the 

scene. 

“In 21min the person now 

in custody was arrested from 

when we were first notified to 

when we intervened and he was 

arrested, away from further 

harm from the public,” Bush 

said. 

“We strongly believe we 

stopped him on the way to a 

further attack. Lives were 

saved.” 

The time line of events for 

Friday’s attacks, which killed 50 

Police continue to guard 

mosques across the country. 

Meanwhile, police have 

formally released the first five 

names of those killed in the 

shootings yesterday. 

They are: 

•Haji Mohemmed Daoud 

Nabi (male) 

•Mohsen Mohammed Al 

Harbi (male) 

•Kamel Moh’d Kamal 

Kamel Darwish (male, of 

Jordan) 

•Junaid Ismail (male) 

•Mucaad Ibrahim 

(male) 

people and wounded another 50, 

was about 40min. 

Tarrant was arrested by 

two officers on Brougham St, 

following the shootings at both 

the Deans Ave and Linwood 

mosques. 

Mr Bush said 

this was “absolutely 

an international 

investigation.” 

It involved New 

Zealand police, the 

FBI, Australian police, 

and Five Eyes partners. 

“To build a 

comprehensive picture 

of this person we will 

put before the court.” 

Mr Bush also 

confirmed yesterday there was 

just one attacker. 

“A focus [of the investigation] 

is to figure out if anyone else was 

supporting him in any way. We 

are still conducting that part of 

MOURNING: The first burials were held at Memorial Park 

Cemetery in Bromley yesterday. 

Gunman had another target 

the investigation.” 

They were not looking at 

anyone specifically. 

At Tarrant’s next court 

appearance, at the High 

Court on April 5, there would 

“undoubtedly be 

more charges,” Mr 

Bush said. 

“We are working 

towards, as you 

can imagine, a 

considerable number 

of the most serious 

charges.” 

Regarding the 

other people charged, 

Mr Bush said one 

was a lone man who 

appeared at one of 

the cordons with a firearm, and 

the others were a couple – a man 

and a woman. 

The woman had been 

released, while the man 

had been charged with a 

Mike Bush 

firearms offence. 

“We do not believe they are 

related to the attacker in any 

way,” Mr Bush said. 

Mr Bush said there were 

120 people involved in the 

identification of victims process, 

involving forensic experts from 

overseas, with the focus of 

“reuniting victims with loved 

ones.” 

While for police, the No 

1 priority was victims and 

families, on behalf of the chief 

coroner it was to ensure absolute 

accuracy in the identification 

process. 

The other responsibility was 

prosecution. 

“We must prove the cause 

of death to the satisfaction of 

coroner and judge. You cannot 

convict for murder without that 

cause of death.”

INJURED: Wasseim Alsati 

with his daughters. Alin is on

‘Please pray 

for me and 

my family’ 

THIRTY PEOPLE who were 

injured in the terror attacks on 

Friday remain in hospital. 

Two people have been 

discharged since Monday. 

However, there are still eight in 

a critical condition in intensive 

care. 

This includes four-year-old Alin 

Alsati who was shot up to three 

times. She is currently in a critical 

condition in intensive care at 

Starship Hospital in Auckland. 

The pre-schooler, who turns 

five next month and should have 

been starting school, has been in 

critical care since Saturday. 

Her father, Jordanian barber 

Wasseim Alsati, was gunned 

down beside her as they 

worshipped at the Deans Ave 

mosque. 

Mr Alsati is now in a stable 

condition at Auckland City 

Hospital. He posted a video on 

Facebook from his hospital bed 

on Saturday asking friends and 

family to “please pray for me and 

my daughter.” 

Canterbury District Health 

Board chief executive David 

Meates said people injured in the 

mosque were a priority. 

“We will be continuing to 

postpone planned surgeries for 

some time to come in order to 

free up theatre space and surgical 

teams. We apologise to anyone 

who may have their surgery 

postponed, but know they will 

understand the extraordinary 

circumstances,” he said. 

Mr Meates said it was a 

possibility that outpatients could 

also be postponed. 

“Most appointments at 

Christchurch Outpatients are 

going ahead as planned. If your 

appointment has to be postponed, 

we will contact you directly. We 

are prioritising the time of the 

clinicians needed to care for those 

injured in last Friday’s attack.”

Insight into capture 

• By Barry Clarke 

AN ANTI-TERRORIST squad 

leader involved in hunting 

and shooting David Gray at 

Aramoana has given an insight 

into what would have happened 

in the minutes leading up to the 

capture of the alleged mosque 

gunman. 

Speaking to The Star yesterday, 

Mike Kyne said the two officers 

who apprehended Brenton Tarrant 

in Brougham St on Friday 

could have taken the easy way 

out – and shot him. 

“Their credibility and moral 

compass was such that they did 

not do that. I was gratified these 

two constables 

did 

not resort to 

killing him,” 

he said. 

“They 

could have 

killed him 

and no one 

Mike Kyne 

would have 

cared. If it 

was overseas 

he would have been dead.” 

Mr Kyne, led one of the police 

anti-terrorist squads sent in 

to hunt down Gray after his 

murderous spree in the Otago 

coastal settlement of Aramoana 

in November, 1990. 

Gray killed 13 people including 

Port Chalmers police sergeant 

Stewart Guthrie, the first officer 

on the scene. 

The following day Gray 

emerged from a bach firing 

wildly at Mr Kyne’s squad as they 

cleared the area. Police returned 

fire and Gray was mortally 

wounded. 

Mr Kyne said the two constables 

who captured Tarrant would 

have had been only seconds to 

make life and death decisions on 

Friday. 

Police were operating under 

standing orders which would allow 

them to shoot to kill. 

The constables had been training 

with the armed offenders 

squad at The Princess Margaret 

Hospital on Friday afternoon 

when the shooting spree began. 

The squad was mobilised and 

they headed in different directions 

trying to find the gunman. 

“They were heading into a 

very active and confused situation. 

The gunman had travelled 

at speed to Linwood (from the 

Deans Ave mosque) and was now 

mobile again. 

“The pressure would have been 

ramping up. Everything is happening 

at high speed,” he said. 

The two officers travelled from 

The Princess Margaret Hospital 

to Brougham St looking for the 

suspect. 

Mr Kyne said by this stage 

police would have had a registration 

number and description 

DANGER: (Above and below) – The moments when two police officers apprehended 

Brenton Tarrant on Brougham St. 

of the vehicle the gunman was 

travelling in. 

“The two constables would 

be aware of this. The passenger 

would be talking to the driver, 

telling him to turn here, turn 

there. 

“In that car the two guys 

would only be concentrating on 

the facts, the car rego, the make 

and the fact they have a moving 

offender. 

“They would be talking and 

assessing options if they found 

the vehicle. The boys would have 

been thinking a million miles an 

hour. ‘How are we going to deal 

with this when we meet him’. 

They would have made a commitment 

that if they found him 

they would have to stop him. 

“You factor in the danger to 

the public in how you do this, 

and Brougham St is busy. 

“They would have considering: 

‘If we get close enough do we 

shoot him?, do we shoot his tyres 

out?’” 

The two constables decided to 

ram Tarrant’s vehicle to a stand 

still. 

“Once that happens the decision 

has been made. Everything 

now is going to happen in what 

could even be a half a second,” 

said Mr Kyne. 

They got out, armed with a 

pistol and high powered rifle. 

Again, they have split seconds to 

make decisions. 

Then one the officers then saw 

explosives in the vehicle, heightening 

the danger even further. 

He rushed back to the police 

vehicle to alert other officers on 

their way, but then lost sight of 

his partner. He then returned to 

Tarrant’s vehicle to support this 

partner. 

“They would have been 

yelling at him to surrender; 

making instant decisions 

whether they needed to shoot or 

not – we’re talking a few seconds 

here only. 

“Everything they would have 

done is based solely on what is in 

front of them at that time. They 

would have had no fear, that 

doesn’t come into it. You don’t 

have time. 

“It’s like when someone who 

can’t swim dives into the water to 

save someone. They just do it.” 

Mr Kyne said the explosives 

in Tarrant’s vehicle were “just 

another hazard that had to be 

dealt with.” 

“There’s no fear. You are 

completely in the zone. Their 

minds would have been crystal 

clear. They would have been 

talking to him (Tarrant). 

‘Where’s the guns,’ demanding 

he show his hands, telling him 

to surrender. Then they went in 

and grabbed him, away from 

the bomb, handcuffed him and 

apprehended him. Then they have 

a crime scene. They wouldn’t have 

touched the car and they would 

have kept people at bay. 

“That’s when you look at each 

other (partner) and say ‘Holy 

s**t!’ 

“The heart slows down, and 

then it starts to sink in what 

you’ve actually just did. They 

probably had a beer that night.” 

Mr Kyne was involved in many 

dangerous life and death incidents 

during his police career. 

Aramoana was one where he 

was lucky to survive. 

Hard up against a polite garage 

wall, Gray burst out of the bach 

front door several metres away, 

firing wildly. 

The wall was peppered with 

bullet holes, but the rounds miraculously 

missed Mr Kyne. 

“How I survived I have no idea. 

We had no option but to return 

fire when Gray came out shooting 

at us.” 

Gray took a number of bullets 

and was mortally wounded. 

“But after he was secured we 

administered first aid. That’s 

what NZ Police do. We believe in 

justice and fairness. No different 

to the two guys on Friday.” 

Gray later died in an 

ambulance.

Ardern visits Cashmere High School 

A TWO-MINUTE silence 

will be held tomorrow to 

commemorate the one-week 

anniversary of last week’s 

massacre. 

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern 

made the announcement during 

a visit to Christchurch yesterday. 

In a separate event, state 

broadcasters Radio NZ and 

TVNZ will also play the Islamic 

call to prayer. 

Two minutes’ silence was chosen 

over the usual one-minute 

because of the magnitude of the 

tragedy; a two-minute silence 

also took place to commemorate 

the Pike River explosions in 

2010. 

She confirmed 30 of the 50 

bodies of those who died had 

now been returned to their 

families. 

Many families have expressed 

frustration at the length of time 

it has taken for bodies to be 

returned, and Ardern said she 

shared that frustration. 

That had nothing to do with 

a lack of resources, she said, but 

the complex process of identification. 

She added that she wanted to 

look at the international and domestic 

thresholds that needed to 

be met for formally identifying 

dead bodies. 

She also responded to reports 

that Islamic State had called 

for reprisals to Friday’s attack, 

saying that the New Zealand 

Muslim community had only 

expressed “a rejection of extremism, 

violence and hate”. 

Before yesterday’s press conference, 

Ms Ardern met with police 

officers who were first on the 

scene at Masjid Al Noor and 

had to secure the mosque as well 

as give first aid to the critically 

injured. 

She also met St John’s first responders 

and thanked them for 

their service on New Zealand’s 

“darkest day”. 

“I have no doubt you saved 

lives,” she told them. 

In the morning Ms Ardern 

visited Cashmere High School, 

where she was welcomed by a 

passionate haka. 

Cashmere High lost year 10 

student Sayyad Milne and year 

12 student Hamza Mustafa on 

Friday. 

Hamza’s father Khaled was 

also killed. Hamza and Khaled 

were the first of the deceased 

from Friday’s shooting to be put 

to rest today.

Ardern hugs

High 

School in 

Christchurch 

yesterday 

At the school assembly, Ms 

Ardern shared an embrace with 

Bri, a 13-year-old year 9 student, 

who opened the question and 

answer session by asking her: 

“How are you?” 

“I am very sad,” Ms Ardern 

replied. 

Asked about the gunman during 

the session, Ms Ardern told 

students to focus on the victims. 

“You know some of the young 

people who lost their lives on Friday. 

It’s their names and stories 

that we need to keep telling. It’s 

them we need to honour. 

“If I can request one thing, 

don’t say his name, don’t dwell 

on who he is.” 

She said it was everyone’s responsibility 

to fight racism. 

Ms Ardern praised a vigil that 

was held on Monday in Hagley 

Park and co-ordinated by Cashmere 

head boy Okirano Tilaia. 

Ms Ardern said social media 

could be used as a force for good 

and referred to the fact that 

thousands of students knew 

about the vigil through social 

media. 

“Never underestimate the 

power of just sending a message, 

looking out for someone, performing 

a haka. There is power 

in that.” 

But she also cautioned the 

students about the perils of social 

media, and dozens of hands shot 

up when she asked the students 

if any of them had had negative 

experiences online. 

“Racism breeds extremism . . . 

I alone cannot do that by myself. 

I need help from every single one 

of us. 

“Let New Zealand be a place 

where there is no tolerance of 

racism, ever.” 

She told the students that help 

was available, if needed. 

“It’s okay to grieve, it’s okay to 

ask for help.”

end. 

But then, for reasons unknown 

to Al-Jammali, the gunman 

didn’t fire. Instead he swivelled 

and shot the person beside 

him, and then turned away and 

opened fire in a different direction. 

“I don’t know why he didn’t 

shoot me. He shot the guy 

beside me and killed him, and 

then turned to the other side 

to kill my other friends in the 

other corner,” Al-Jammali told 

the New Zealand Herald. 

“I was one of the luckiest 

persons . . . God just saved me 

from the bullets and his machine 

gun.” 

Al-Jammali was a regular 

visitor to Masjid Al Noor. Every 

Friday, because of a leg injury, he 

took a seat near the window to 

pray. When the serenity of prayer 

time was interrupted by gunfire, 

he became confused. 

“I never imagined that this is 

guns because we are in a safe, 

great country, a very safe country. 

Normally I can’t imagine 

that this would happen. No way. 

“I realised the truth when he 

came in front of me and start 

killing the people. I realised . . . 

I’m going to be dead.” 

After Al-Jammali had been 

spared, he jumped out of the 

window. He cut his knee on 

broken glass in the process – and 

was then trampled by the rush of 

people that crashed over him like 

a wave. 

“Everyone was just so scared 

. . . many people trying to get 

out, it was very hard. At the same 

time, we could hear the shots 

being fired.” 

Al-Jammali pulled himself up 

and joined the others running 

for their lives through the backyard 

and then jumping the fence 

to the neighbouring property. 

He found a spot to lie down 

and hide, only allowing himself 

to stand up and survey what had 

happened after police arrived 

and secured the scene. 

“I saw two or three kids killed, 

a small girl killed on the street. 

There were a lot of bodies at the 

mosque while they were starting 

to move the injured people. 

“He killed innocent victims, 

my friends, kids and children, 

just killed them in cold blood.” 

As Al-Jammali had only 

suffered minor injuries to his 

knee and his back, he was one 

of the last people to be taken to 

hospital. 

“I was shocked, very shocked, 

so I can’t really remember. 

Around the same time, his 

21-year-old son Mahmoud was 

distraught trying to find his 

father. 

Mahmoud was late to Friday 

prayers that day, and by the 

time he arrived, the gunman 

had already left a trail of dead 

bodies.

thought ‘this is the end’ 

“I saw the dead people in 

front. I didn’t believe it. No way,” 

Mahmoud said. 

“If I see dead people like that, 

I felt like my Dad might be one 

of them. I went crazy. The police 

tried to calm me down . . . [but] I 

didn’t find him. 

“I waited one hour outside, 

looking everywhere. And one of 

my mates came up to me said, 

‘Your dad is alive but got shot 

in the leg.’ So that got me crazy 

more and more.” 

Mahmoud went to the hospital 

but couldn’t get in because of 

tight security. He was desperate 

and started pleading with police: 

“Please, my dad got shot. I can’t 

wait here.” 

When police eventually let him 

inside, the chaotic scenes made 

it impossible to find information 

about his father. But he found 

comfort in other friends that 

were also waiting anxiously for 

news of their fathers, who had 

also suffered gunshot wounds. 

“I was so shocked and so scared 

I was going to lose him.” 

When Mahmoud was finally 

reunited with his father, he ran 

up to him with the words: 

“Thank God you’re still here.” 

Al-Jammali and his family 

have been overwhelmed at the 

response in the city and around 

the country, having seen the endless 

flow of flowers and poignant 

words at the city’s memorial sites. 

They have no intention of leaving 

the city, and want to return to 

Masjid Al Noor. 

“We are going to go back. 

Nothing is going to stop us from 

doing our religion,” Al-Jammali 

said. 

“I will never leave New Zealand. 

This is my home. This is my 

country now after all these years 

. . . New Zealand is the best country. 

The people are very friendly. 

Most of our neighbours came 

and visited me and offered me all 

the support that I need or want.” 

Al-Jammali grew up in Kuwait 

and moved to Auckland with 

his family in 1996. He returned 

to Kuwait for work as a sales 

manager, but found a home in 

Christchurch four years ago. 

He was welcomed into the 

city’s Muslim community, and 

knew many of the deceased well. 

“The people killed or shot, they

are my best of friends . . . what 

shall we do? It is part of the life. 

We have to carry on.” 

One of those who died was 

Moshin Al-Harbi, who Al-Jammali 

describes as his best friend. 

Al-Jammali started receiving 

confused phone calls yesterday 

when global media reported on 

Al-Harbi’s death, but in stories 

that showed the iconic photo of 

Al-Jammali pointing to the sky. 

Al-Jammali reassured those 

calling him that he was actually 

still alive, and very lucky to be so. 

He and his family realise that 

‘I will never leave New 

Zealand. This is my home. 

This is my country now 

after all these years . . . 

New Zealand is the best 

country. The people are 

very friendly.’ 

– Khaled Al-Jammali 

others in the tight-knit community 

have not been so lucky, and 

they are focused on supporting 

those families. They have been at 

the hospital every day since the 

attack. 

Al-Jammali said the silver 

lining to this horrific ordeal was 

that the whole world can now see 

that Muslim people are peaceful, 

loving and welcoming. 

“Even when he came to start 

shooting innocent people, the 

first he killed told him, ‘Welcome, 

brother’. 

“Now all of the world knows 

that Muslims are very friendly, 

even when there is someone trying 

to kill them. 

“This is what we are. This is our 

religion. I hope he can understand 

this too.”

Student starts chain of love movement 

Schools from 

across NZ 

and Australia 

get involved 

• By Julia Evans 

SUJEAN IN was protesting 

against climate change when she 

and thousands of other students 

were evacuated from Cathedral 

Square on Friday. 

The St Margaret’s College head 

girl did not know what was going 

on. 

She just listened to the 

instructions of a friendly female 

police officer, and when she 

found out about the terror attack 

which had devastated the city, 

she knew students would need an 

outlet to help. 

“Young people can often feel 

lost as to what you can do when 

this kind of thing happens.” 

She started the Paper Chain 

of Love and it has been added 

to by students from around 

Christchurch, New Zealand 

and Australia – each link with a 

message of support. 

“It came from the idea that all 

of us students are connected and 

that love is stronger than hate 

. . . everyone in Christchurch is 

interlinked and we share a love 

for each other in spite of the 

ugliness of Friday,” Sujean said. 

“I wanted to create something 

to represent that. What they did 

was try and tear our city down, 

like it was made of paper, but it’s 

stronger than that.” 

Her idea has taken off. 

Students from St Andrew’s, 

Marian, Villa Maria, St Bede’s, 

Catholic Cathedral, Christ’s 

and St Thomas’ of Canterbury 

colleges, as well as Selwyn House, 

Middleton Grange, Avonside 

LOVE: Sujean In 

organised the 

Paper Chain of 

Love movement 

for students. 

(Above) – 

The chains 

have been 

delivered to the 

memorial at 

Deans Ave. 

Girls, Christchurch Girls, Rangi 

Ruru, Cashmere, Papanui,

schools are also making chains. 

Support has also been shown 

for the initiative at Auckland’s

Nearly $40,000 raised 

through memorial pins 

NEARLY $40,000 has been 

raised for those affected by the 

terror attacks through the sale of 

memorial pins. 

More than 2600 of the 

heart-shaped Kotahitanga pins, 

which symbolise unity and 

togetherness, have been sold so far. 

All the proceeds from the sale 

of the pins will go to the Victim 

Support fund to support those 

affected by the terror attack. 

More than 2600 pins have 

been ordered so far, which will 

raise nearly $40,000 for victim 

support. 

Director of design studio 

McCarthy, Stephen McCarthy, 

said the number of sales 

had definitely exceeded his 

expectations. 

There are about 800 left in the 

first order. 

Most of the orders had been 

for more than one pin, with 

some orders of more than 100 

pins placed, McCarthy said. 

The pins, in the shape of two 

sides of a heart embracing, 

represent everyone from 

Christchurch being one. 

The kotahitanga pin has been 

designed to represent unity and 

togetherness. 

He hoped it would help create 

and an ongoing conversation 

that would last past the events 

happening now “because 

we’ve got to change our way of 

thinking”. 

“A lot of things happen in 

the digital realm but having 

something physical . . . lasts a lot 

longer. It’s a pin that someone 

will have forever so that this 

conversation can keep going, it’s 

vitally important.” 

The pins can be pre-ordered 

now from togetherasone. 

co.nz, and are expected to arrive 

from an overseas manufacturer 

in about two weeks. McCarthy 

said they would be shipped out 

as soon as they arrived. 

Paying our respects 

ON SUNDAY and Monday we 

took Vittoria to place flowers and 

pay respect for those who were 

killed on Friday. 

People have lost friends, family, 

parents, children, teammates and 

colleagues. 

Even if you did not know any of 

those who were attacked in either 

the Masjid Al Noor or Linwood 

mosques, we’ve lost people who 

were part of the city’s fabric of life. 

People we saw on the street, 

saw in the shops and played with 

at the park, smiled at us as we 

walked by. Some even shared 

pleasantries with as we waited for 

a coffee. 

It will be hard to explain it to 

Vittoria when one day she asks 

me about what happened, that 

people were murdered because of 

their faith, a faith shared by some 

in her own family. 

But the city and the country’s 

reaction has added to my pride in 

raising Vittoria here. 

Rather than politicise the event 

or ignore the pain our Muslim 

whānau are feeling, people got 

straight on to helping, spreading 

messages of love or working on 

practical support for the affected 

families. 

There’s also a lot of

addressing racism and the stain of 

white supremacy in this country 

is key to making sure horrific 

events such as Friday’s terror 

attack doesn’t happen again. 

Good examples for Vittoria to 

VITTORIA 

& Matt 

follow. 

I’ll end on a note that, 

hopefully, might put a smile on 

your face, Vittoria has recently 

achieved something of a life-goal. 

Her first truly embarrassing story 

to be retold on her 21st birthday. 

While walking together in the 

Botanic Gardens on Monday, 

Laura noticed that Vittoria had 

just picked something up and 

shoved it in her mouth. 

I never thought duck poo 

would look like mushed grass, but 

as I fished the dark green gunk 

out of her mouth it looked just 

like it. 

Her face did not look as 

disgusted at it should have. 

So far both her stomach and 

mine have managed to stand up 

to it.

Where were you when it happened? 

Ramandip 

Singh, 19, chef: 

I was on my way 

to the Terrace 

Tavern. When 

it happened 

we closed the 

restaurant and 

were in lockdown. We don’t 

accept these things in New 

Zealand. It is bad for us. When 

we opened on Saturday it was 

too quiet. Most people were 

too scared to come out of their 

homes. 

Tia McClure, 18, Hagley 

College student: I had just 

arrived home. 

I was thinking 

of staying at 

school to study 

but decided not 

to. My mother 

rang to check I 

was home after 

hearing my 

school was in lockdown. I knew 

there were people at the climate 

change protest so I checked to 

see they were okay. I also rang 

my brother who was at Papanui 

High School. He had gone to his 

girlfriend’s, thankfully everyone 

was okay. 

Bev O’Brien, 70, retired: I 

was at home in Linwood. I was 

overwhelmed and 

I turned on the 

television. It was 

the helicopters 

that kept flying 

over, you didn’t 

know if they 

were following 

someone or 

protecting us. We have been to 

see the flowers at Rolleston Ave 

and have been down to Linwood 

Ave to put down flowers. We are 

going over to Europe in May. I 

thought if it was going to happen 

anywhere, it would be at one of 

the places we are going to, not in 

our home town. It is at the back 

of your mind. 

Russell 

Falcome-Price, 

unemployed: 

I was about to 

go out and my 

phone went off. 

It was a friend 

of mine who 

said to stay indoors, there’s a 

madman on the loose. I thought 

this can’t be right, so I turned 

on the news. Then when I saw 

it, all I thought was, oh my god, 

this can’t be happening so I had 

to double-check and when I 

found out it was real, I was lost 

for words. For the last few days 

I’ve been heartbroken. I went 

to the memorial site and broke 

down. A stranger gave me a great 

big hug. It’s really unbelievable, 

seeing all the flowers and 

everyone coming together. My 

phone hasn’t stopped going with 

friends checking to see if I was 

okay. 

Alex Hart, 30, 

painter: Me and 

a friend drove 

past Deans Ave, 

we were driving 

down from the 

Blenheim Rd 

overbridge and 

we saw three 

cop cars, they were blocking off 

some of the streets. We thought 

it might have been a hostage 

situation. 

My friend drove up 

Moorhouse, I was a passenger 

and then we saw 11 cop cars 

plus three ambulances, we knew 

something really bad happened. 

We didn’t know but we were 

driving past as it was happening. 

My friend and I ended up 

finding a takeaway that was 

opened in Woolston. The biggest 

memory I have from that day 

was we were all talking and there 

was a nurse from the hospital, 

she was trying to be strong and 

keep it together, but her face said 

it all that she had not had a good 

day. 

Waitangi 

Tuisuga, 18, 

painter: I 

was at home 

with my mum 

in Mairehau. I 

have a couple 

of siblings at 

school and my mum got a 

notification. One of my brothers 

is at Casebrook Intermediate 

School, my other brother is at 

Shirley Boys’ High School. I have 

a sister at Mairehau Primary 

School and at Burnside High 

School. My other sister was at a 

volleyball tournament at Pioneer 

Recreation and Sport Centre. 

When I found out I started 

texting my brothers and sisters. 

It was pretty crazy, it didn’t feel 

real. You wouldn’t think that 

would happen in Christchurch 

or New Zealand, but especially 

Christchurch. 

John Hind, 64, retired: 

I was driving to the gym in 

Rolleston at about 2pm when 

I first heard the news. When I 

came out of the 

gym everything 

was in lockdown. 

I thought, oh 

my god, what 

is going on? I 

was listening 

to the news 

with disbelief 

and horror. I was absolutely 

gobsmacked, this is not New 

Zealand. My wife who works at 

Lincoln University rang to say 

she was in lockdown. 

My sister also rang after 

hearing all education facilities 

were in lockdown to check on 

my wife. Texts also were flying 

in from overseas to check I was 

okay. 

What p****s me off is it 

takes this type of tragedy for 

politicians to have the balls to 

change the gun laws. It should 

have been done 15 years ago. My 

heart goes out to the people who 

have lost someone. 

Nive Aiono, 

26, freight 

handler: I was 

three blocks 

away at home 

in Addington 

when I heard the 

helicopters and I 

saw it all on Facebook. 

I was surprised, I didn’t think 

it would happen here. I was just 

having a smoke outside and I 

wanted to go and see what was 

happening. We were watching 

the helicopters for a while and 

went for a drive. We want to go 

and pay our respects. 

Josh Hart, 22, fast food 

worker/union delegate: 

I was in the city centre by the 

Christchurch Cathedral at the 

climate change 

protest. It was 

something. A 

policewoman 

got on stage and 

told everyone 

they should leave 

town. Nobody 

moved because 

they thought she was trying to 

break up the protest. Everyone 

was idling around. She got back 

up on stage again told us again 

and said if anyone was trying to 

go to Hagley or Riccarton, not 

to bother. She didn’t tell us what 

it was about. My friend and I 

went for a coffee at the Tūranga 

library. 

The same woman came back 

and moved everyone to the first 

floor and put us in lockdown. 

There were about 2000 people in 

the library, it was terrifying. We 

were watching the police vans go 

by, some would have been going 

at 100km/h. 

Belinda 

Naish, 41, 

metro and 

school run 

bus driver: I 

was at home in 

Kaiapoi, I had 

taken the day off. I just ended 

up being glued to the television. 

I was in shock. I contacted 

another bus driver because I 

had heard all the buses had been 

suspended. 

He was fine from what I could 

gather. I am shocked more 

than anything. The fact this has 

happened on our back doorstep. 

Especially after what we 

have been through with the 

earthquakes. 

Lynette 

Marie Double, 

49, social 

worker: I was 

with my mum 

in Bishopdale. 

I watched 

the television 

and kept it on 

constantly. I was glad to be with 

my mother. It is surreal and I feel 

like Christchurch has changed. 

Patricia Papuni, 16, 

Hagley 

College 

student: I 

was in the city 

council building 

with the mayor. 

She was right 

in front of me. 

I was there for 

the climate change protest. She 

was very calm and very well 

prepared. They told us to go into 

the council chamber. We were 

locked in there. 

After a few hours we went to 

the function room and chilled 

there for a few hours. I called my 

twin sister. 

They were locked in the dance 

room at Hagley College. I was in 

disbelief, I thought someone was 

making it up for attention but 

then the news started coming 

through. 

My caregiver’s friend was 

shot while another friend was 

supposed to be going to the 

mosque but got called into 

work.

Plan to control quarry 

dust with water criticised 

• By Anan Zaki 

WATER CANONS and 

carts could be used to 

control dust emissions at 

Fulton Hogan’s proposed 

quarry near Weedons and 

Templeton. 

Details on dust and air 

quality featured in a 

54-page document 

presented to Environment 

Canterbury and the Selwyn 

District Council last week. 

The information was 

provided after the regional 

and district councils 

requested more details 

about Fulton Hogan’s plans 

to quarry at a 170ha 

site bordered by 

Curraghs, Dawsons, 

Jones and Maddisons 

Rds. 

Quarry opponent 

Simon Moore said 

using water canons 

and carts would be a 

waste of water. 

Mr Moore is still 

against the idea of a 

quarry near Weedons and 

Templeton. 

“They are going to 

require a huge amount of 

water to do that [mitigate 

dust],” he said. 

Simon 

Moore 

ISSUE: The site of Fulton Hogan’s proposed 

quarry near Weedons and Templeton. 

Dust from trucks is also 

another issue for quarry 

opponents. 

Mr Moore referred 

to trucks leaving 

the Miners Rd 

quarry to highlight 

concerns over dust 

from trucks. 

“The issue is 

when trucks leave 

the quarry, they’ve 

been water blasted, 

and as they go onto 

the road, they’re 

leaving deposits of dirt on 

the road. And as it drives 

that turns into dust,” Mr 

Moore said. 

“Thursday morning after 

a heavy dew, I was going 

past there [Miners Rd 

news online a 

quarry] at nine o’clock in 

the morning and you could 

hardly see the trucks on the 

road for the dust coming 

off the road,” he said. 

Mr Moore said “millions” 

of litres of water would be 

wasted on dust mitigation 

if the quarry is approved. 

Fulton Hogan also 

addressed questions about 

traffic to and from the 

proposed quarry. 

Based on modelling, 

it said most of the traffic 

would be 

east-bound to and from 

Christchurch. 

Stage two of the $195 

million of the Southern 

Motorway is anticipated to 

carry most of the traffic.

MOTORIST’S frustration with 

traffic and delays on the new $20 

million section of Manchester St 

is being resolved. 

A two-year upgrade to 850m 

of the street by Otakaro was 

finished in August and included 

widened footpaths and new bus 

lanes and stops. 

However, following 

a series of 

complaints about 

traffic backing up 

on the new stretch 

of road, city council 

staff have made a 

Deon 

Swiggs 

number of changes 

to ease frustration. 

The permanent 

demand for pedestrian 

and cyclists crossing the 

street was removed, so lights will 

go red only when a pedestrian 

and cyclist trigger the signal. 

The stop line on Manchester 

St northbound at the Hereford 

St intersection was set back so 

more vehicles could get through, 

the signal phasing was adjusted 

so time is reduced for the 

northbound bus lane and signal 

detectors in the bus lane have 

been reprogrammed to allow any 

spare time to be distributed to 

general traffic. 

There was an unnecessary allowance 

in the phase at the Lichfield 

St intersection for the tram, 

which has also been removed. 

Central Ward city councillor 

Deon Swiggs, who submitted a 

notice of motion that changes 

be made, said it was a “fantastic 

result” for drivers. 

“I’m very pleased that we’re finally 

doing things to fix it,” he said. 

However, a report from city 

council staff said a “complicating 

factor” that it was delivered by 

Otakaro. 


Plan to ease Manchester St frustration 

“Although the road is open 

to, and being used by the public, 

it is yet to be accepted back by 

the council. This initially limited 

the changes Christchurch Transport 

Operations Centre could 

make.” 

Cr Swiggs said he wanted to be 

the one to sign the project off. 

“I don’t want us to inherit a 

liability,” he said. CTOC will 

continue to monitor the road. 

FLOW: The 

city council 

has made a 

number of 

changes to 

the traffic 

lights along 

Manchester 

St in a bid 

to ease 

frustration for 

motorists. 

City council staff have 

suggested other options for 

improvements, including signage 

to guide motorists onto the oneway 

system, turning off the lights 

that allow for buses to re-enter 

traffic during periods of low bus 

frequency, reducing the amount 

of traffic entering Manchester 

St, more signal changes and 

reintroducing the east-bound 

right turn into Cashel St.

Feedback 

sought on 

reserve toilets 

FEEDBACK IS open on a plan 

that could see two toilet blocks 

installed at Roto Kohatu Reserve 

at a cost of $1 million. 

The popular recreation site 

on Sawyers Arms Rd, which 

currently only has portaloos, 

would get two separate toilet 

blocks due to the high number 

of annual visitors to Lake Roto 

Kohatu and Lake Rua. 

The lakes are used for 

watersports, swimming and 

there is a picnic area. Each block 

will have two cubicles and an 

outside shower. The cost would 

be $282,806 for each building 

and $440,000 to connect them 

up to services. The toilet blocks 

were approved by the Fendalton- 

Waimairi-Harewood Community 

Board in July after the city 

council discovered visitors 

were defecating in the bushes 

surrounding the lake. 

The city council is also 

proposing a new 100-space car 

park. Depending on the outcome 

of the consultation, the city council 

aims to have the toilet blocks 

completed before December.

Protect your 

digital identity 

Looking back over the past few decades, it’s amazing 

to think how much our lives have changed in the 

digital world. 

These days email accounts are part of our everyday life. We use 

them to communicate and manage all manner of online interactions and 

transactions without a second thought. 

Our email address has become our digital ‘identity’ – we use it to set up 

and control our other online accounts. For that reason alone, it’s really 

important that we protect it. One of the best ways to do this is to make 

sure your email account password is strong, 

and different to all your other passwords. 

Protecting your email account from attack is 

crucial. If someone gets hold of your account 

password, they have access to a world of 

personal and financial information that’s stored 

in your email. This means they could: 

• watch your emails to see when you’re due 

to make a payment to someone and swap 

out the bank account details so the payment 

goes into their account instead 

• download all your contacts and send them 

an email that tricks them into clicking on a 

link that downloads a virus 

• use your email address to log in to other 

online accounts, reset the passwords and 

access those accounts. 

Our email 

address has 

become 

our digital 

‘identity’ – 

we use it to 

set up and 

control our 

other online 

accounts. 

It’s very easy for them to do. It’s also very concerning because the impacts 

of any of these cyber attacks can be significant and have serious results for 

you, your family and friends, and your finances. 

Because of this, it’s important that your email account is super protected. 

And by super protected, I mean it needs to have its own unique and strong 

password.

Chance to farewell 

Linwood College 

A CELEBRATION is 

planned for April 5 and 

6 to celebrate the past 

65 years of educational 

history of Linwood 

College. 

In mid-2019, the 

school’s buildings will be 

demolished in preparation 

for a full rebuild on site. 

At $44 million the 

rebuild budget is one of 

the largest of any of the 

Ministry of Education’s 

rebuild programme since 

the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake. 

Students enrolled at the 

school will be relocated to 

old Avonside Girls’ High 

site for the full duration of 

the rebuild. 

When news of the 

rebuild was released, 

approaches were made 

to the school for an 

opportunity to celebrate 

its past. 

At the time it was built 

in 1954, Linwood High 

was the first post-war coeducational 

school to open 

in the entire country.

The event will end with

Australia have bought

Use different passwords for every account. 

The key to protecting your digital identity is to set up different passwords 

on each of your accounts. That way, if someone does get hold of one of 

your passwords, they won’t be able to use the same password to get into 

your other accounts. If you have trouble remembering passwords (let’s face 

it, we all do), write them down but store them away from your computer 

and phone. 

Make sure your passwords are strong. 

A long password is a strong password. A string of four or more words is 

as strong as using a mix of numbers, letters and characters, and easier to 

remember. eg. Frozencokeisdelicious 

I cannot emphasise more strongly how important it is to have unique and 

strong passwords for your online accounts – especially for your email 

account as it is often the key to other accounts. 

Protect your digital identity – change your email account password now so 

it’s different to all your other passwords. 

PS: Consider using a password manager to store your passwords. It’s an app 

that stores all your passwords securely so you only have to remember one 

password. 

Rob Pope is the Director of CERT NZ. CERT NZ helps New Zealanders 

to protect themselves by improving cyber security. www.cert.govt.nz has

HOW DO you get a 200kg 

leatherback sea turtle from 

Banks Peninsula to Wellington? 

That’s the question the 

Department of Conservation and 

Te Papa museum had to solve 

after a critically endangered, 

2.4m male turtle washed up on 

Pigeon Bay on Monday. 

DOC ranger Derek Cox called 

it a “logistical nightmare” after 

he was called out to the beach by 

luxury resort Annandale Villas. 

“I drove down there just to 

get some photos and some 

measurements . . . then secured 

it to the beach. On the way out 

I talked to the farm manager 

to take the tractor down the 

following morning,” he said. 

“But when I got back it had 

floated off the beach, I had to 

swim and wade to get it back.” 

The turtle was secured to the 

tractor and shown to pupils at 

Duvauchelle School before it was 

driven to Christchurch. 

He was nicknamed 

Tuesday’s Turtle after Mr Cox’s 

stepdaughter called Tuesday. 

A vehicle from Te Papa is 

picking the turtle up and driving 

it back to Wellington, he said. 

The turtle’s skeleton will be 

extracted to compare it with 

20-million-year-old fossils found 

in Central Otago. 

Leatherbacks are the largest 

sea turtle species and also one 

of the most migratory, crossing 

both the Atlantic and Pacific 

oceans. 

They migrate to New Zealand 

to feed, mainly on jellyfish and 

marine invertebrates. Some 

spend more than a year in the

waters, but don’t come close to 

shore. 

However, Mr Cox said 

sightings are rare near Banks 

Peninsula. 

“It’s the third we’ve come 

across in the 12 years I’ve been 

out here.” 

It is not yet known how the 

turtle died. 

“They can get caught in nets, 

or die from plastic. Because they 

feed mostly on jellyfish, they 

mistake plastic bags for jellyfish 

or it could just be old age,” Mr 

Cox said. 

Leatherbacks can live between 

50 to 100 years.

City council 

applies for 

NZTA funding 

• By Louis Day 

THE CITY council is applying 

for funding for a section of the 

Coastal Pathway. 

The section between Shag Rock 

and Sumner Surf Life Saving 

Surf Club is estimated to cost 

about $6 million. 

City council planning and 

delivery transport manager 

Lynette Ellis said this section of 

the Coastal Pathway would be 

completed to schedule even if the 

New Zealand Transport Agency 

did not grant the funding. 

“NZTA subsidise between 50 

and 75 per cent of eligible parts 

of projects. Construction on this 

section of the pathway is already 

under way,” she said. 

Landscaping and lighting improvements 

are also part of the 

project expected to be completed 

by mid-October. 

Ms Ellis said the entire project 

when completed would provide a 

multi-functional pathway to benefit 

the community and visitors. 

“The asphalt path will run 

between Shag Rock and Gollans 

Point, and will then transition 

to a boardwalk along the front 

of the car park and the Sumner 

Surf Lifesaving Club where 

it connects with the existing 

memorial walkway.”

Who has missed the most meetings? 


REPRESENTING the city has 

caused Mayor Lianne Dalziel to 

have the lowest attendance rate at 

council meetings over the term 

so far. 

Figures released for all city 

council, community board and 

committee meetings from the 

start of the term in October 

2016 to December 2018 show 

Ms Dalziel attended 60 out of 75 

council meetings. 

But Ms Dalziel said of those 

missed meetings, there was 

only three days personal leave, 

including time to support her 

husband Rob Davidson, who is 

suffering from prostate cancer, 

and two days professional 

development. 

“The rest involve representing 

the council or Christchurch 

International Airport Ltd in an 

official capacity.” 

That included attending 

the official opening of Haeata 

with then prime minister Sir 

Bill English, visiting sister city 

Songpa Gu in South Korea 

and the announcement for the 

Convention Centre. 

Overall attendance around 

the council table was high. City 

councillor Pauline Cotter was the 

sole member to get 100 per cent, 

attending all 75 meetings. 

Another five councillors – 

Vicki Buck, Mike Davidson, 

Anne Galloway, Jamie Gough 

and Deon Swiggs – missed one 

meeting and all except Raf Manji 

attended more than 70. 

Cr Manji made it to 69. He is

indicated he will not run for his 

seat in the October local body 

election.

Hillmorton High School 

Inspiring academic 

excellence, leadership, 

and a love of learning 

Middle School 

leads to 

outstanding 

NCEA results 

Kia ora koutou, talofa lava, 

warm greetings to you all. 

Since 2014 Hillmorton High 

School has had a Middle School 

for students in Years 7 – 10, and 

a Senior School for students in 

Years 11-13. 

With our first Year 

7 cohort (2014) we 

now have the data to 

show how well they 

achieved five years 

later in NCEA in Year 

11 (2018). For this 

cohort the data is 

clear, students who 

started in Year 7 

(rather than in Year 

9) not only had a 

higher pass rate 

but also the quality 

of their Level 1 

qualification was 

better in terms of Excellence 

Ann 

Brokenshire 

endorsements than the National 

Average. 

In 2018, we had six Year 11 

students with multiple disabilities 

in our Upland Unit. We have not 

included these students in our 

2014 Year 7 Entry 2016 Year 9 Entry National 

2018 NCEA L1 pass rate 97% 88% 70.5% 

Excellence Endorsements 22.2% 20.9% 

Hillmorton High School is 

undertaking consultation on 

implementing a new enrolment 

scheme. 

There are seven co-educational 

state secondary schools 

proposing new schemes 

or amendments to existing 

schemes, so we are co-ordinating 

data as they do not participate 

in NCEA but all are succeeding in 

their individual plans. 

Students who begin with us in 

Year 7 are very settled by Year 

9. They behave in 

ways consistent with 

our school values and 

appear well motivated 

and on track to 

achieving our mission 

of “inspiring academic 

excellence, leadership 

and a love of learning”. 

They also help students 

arriving in Year 9 to 

settle quickly and these 

students also achieve 

well above national 

averages. 

Having a Middle 

School choice in the south west 

of Christchurch gives a real 

opportunity and it is certainly 

working well for those who have 

made this choice. 

Ngā mihi 

Ann Brokenshire 

School zoning – have your say 

consultation so that communities 

are well-informed and have 

an opportunity to see what is 

proposed across Christchurch. 

More information on this process 

and an online survey to gather 

feedback can be found at: www. 

shapingeducation.govt.nz/ 

secondary. 

Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have lost family 

and friends in this past week’s tragic events. 

Thank you to everyone who has offered support to our students 

and school. 

Together we are strong.

Kia whakapapa pounamu te moana

May peace be widespread 

May the sea be like greenstone

Let us show respect for each other

Bind us all together! 

Kapa haka impresses 

Nga Puna Wai has already hosted us for our school 

athletics sports, and more recently, our school kapa 

haka were invited to join in with the site blessing for 

Tennis Canterbury. 

The students sang a waiata after the blessing of the 

courts, and after the tree planting ceremony, they 

sang the school waiata. 

Staff at Tennis Canterbury were extremely impressed 

with the respect, commitment and positive energy 

that the students, staff and volunteers showed 

during the site blessing. 

They said: “The Kapa haka students performed 

brilliantly and they made an extremely positive 

impact”. 

We hope to help with the planting that is to take 

place at the venue. 

We look forward to our continued involvement at 

Nga Puna Wai.

Breakfast from a champion 

• By Matt Slaughter 

TOM WALSH may not have 

been the champion shot putter 

he is today if he hadn’t eaten 

breakfast. 

Shirley Primary School pupils 

were delighted when Walsh 

served them up Weet-Bix as 

part of the KickStart Breakfast 

programme, which has served 30 

million breakfasts over the last 10 

years to Kiwi kids. 

Jorja Shearman, 10, was the 

lucky pupil to receive the 30 

millionth. 

The school has been part of the 

programme since 2015 and was 

the only school to have Walsh 

make a special visit. 

Deputy principal Jo Meyrick 

said the pupils didn’t know how 

to react when Walsh greeted 

them at the breakfast counter. 

“They were super excited. I 

think they didn’t really know 

what to expect.” 

Mrs Meyrick said Walsh joined 

pupils at the breakfast table and 

talked about what he ate for 

breakfast. 

She said the pupils were left 

with full tummies and a spark of 

inspiration. 

“I actually think the kids 

have really taken on board 

that breakfast is really, really 

important and, if you’re a 

sporting type, it’s a cool thing to 

do,” Mrs Meyrick said. 

SERVED: Jorja Shearman, 10, was served the 30 millionth KickStart Breakfast by champion shot 

putter Tom Walsh. 

“It makes us feel better as 

people and achieve what we can 

achieve each day.” 

Said Walsh: “It’s awesome 

to see the positive effect that 

a healthy, nutritious meal can 

have on the kids performance 

both in the classroom and 


NEWS 23 

also in their daily lives. It’s so 

important to start the day with a 

healthy breakfast in order to fuel 

the body and mind for the day 

ahead.” 

KickStart Breakfast is a joint 

initiative between Fonterra, 

Sanitarium and the Ministry of 

Social Development which aims 

to ensure pupils get a healthy 

start to the day. 

Volunteers help run 1000 

breakfast clubs in schools 

across New Zealand, serving 

more than 30,000 children each 

week. 


Pier cash 

should 

go back 

east 

• By Matt Slaughter 

CALLS HAVE been made to 

make the $2 million saved on 

the New Brighton Pier repairs 

available for other projects in the 

east. 

Coastal-Burwood Community 

Board chairwoman Kim Money 

has asked the city council to 

consider it. 

Ms Money was told by the city 

council the $2 million had gone 

back into its capital delivery 

programme for the 2018/19 

financial year. 

The repairs to all 17 of the pier’s 

support columns were completed 

for $7.84 million, rather than 

the $9.88 million originally 

budgeted, a new report shows. 

Coastal Ward city 

councillor David East said 

the savings within the capital 

programme could not go towards 

other projects. 

However, Ms Money said 

the city council should 

reconsider its stance, starting 

with the $2 million saved from 

the pier repairs.

Clear safety message from expo 

The Save Our Suburbs 

Expo brought 

residents in the 

east together with 

emergency services 

and community 

groups for discussions 

on how they could 

work together to keep 

the community safe. 

Matt Slaughter reports 

on the key advice 

given 

EMERGENCY services and 

community groups in the east 

say residents 

need to work 

together to keep 

safe. 

This was 

the message 

that came out 

of the Save 

Darlene 

Herd 

Our Suburbs 

Community 

Safety Expo 

held at the 

former central New Brighton 

School site. 

Emergency services, Civil Defence, 

neighbourhood support, 

mental health professionals, 

insurance, security, technology 

experts, city council and Age 

Concern representatives all came 

together. 

About 120 people, mostly from 

the eastern suburbs, attended the 

event which was organised by 

North New Brighton residents 

Darlene and Jeremy Herd and 

South New Brighton resident 

Soozie Bragg. 

Houses and roading in the east 

suffered major damage in the 

2010 and 2011 earthquakes and 

residents clogged roads when a 

tsunami warning forced them to 

evacuate after the 2016 Kaikoura 

earthquake. 

Mrs Herd said her home had 

been burgled on Boxing Day, 

which had inspired her to do 

something to make the east safer. 

She said the collective message 

delivered by all of the organisations 

was the importance of residents 

knowing their neighbours 

and the tools available to keep 

themselves and others safe from 

crime and natural threats out of 

their control. 

“After you get burgled or have 

a tragedy, it forces you to think 

about these things,” she said. 

“The core message was to take 

some personal responsibility for 

your own safety and see what 

you can do as a person and also 

a member of the community to 

make some changes.” 

Constable Nathan Wilson 

said the first piece of advice 

was how people could protect 

themselves against crime before 

it occurred. 

“We were targeting on 

burglaries and ensuring 

everything’s all locked and 

secure all of the time. It’s even 

getting to the point where during 

the day if you’re going out to 

the back of your property to do 

some gardening, make sure that 

your front door is all locked. 

With alarms, if you’ve got them, 

make sure they’re being used. A 

big one is getting to know your 

neighbours . . . if you’re going 

away, touch base with your 

neighbours and let them know.” 

Constable Wilson said the 

best ways to help police when 

crime did occur was the next big 

topic of conversation. If people 

felt they were not in immediate 

danger, it was still important to 

report any suspicious behaviour, 

he said. 

“When people don’t report 

things, we don’t know 

about it and we can’t get 

out there to try and prevent 

it from happening.” 

City council head 

of Civil Defence and 

emergency management 

Rob Orchard said 

information was given on 

how people could prepare 

themselves for disasters, 

particularly tsunamis, which had 

posed a risk to the beach suburbs 

in the east in the past. 

“On display were the current 

tsunami evacuation zones . . . 

and where they could find the 

tsunami evacuation zones.” 

Bruce Irvine 

“Emergencies can be anything 

from not being able to get home, 

to the impacts of natural hazards 

like earthquakes, storms, or 

tsunamis. It’s really important 

that we get prepared for such 

disruptions.” 

Fire and Emergency New 

Zealand senior fire 

risk manager Bruce 

Irvine said fire posed an 

extreme risk along the 

beach front. 

“Our topic of discussion 

was related to 

occupied properties and 

having an escape plan 

with an identified meeting 

place for when your smoke 

alarm activates.” 

Ensuring the safety of the 

high number of vacant and 

insecure houses in the east 

was also emphasised, Mr Irvine 

said. 

“A request has gone out to 

SAFE: The importance 

of residents in the 

east knowing their 

neighbours, reporting 

crime and preparing 

themselves for natural 

disasters, like the 

evacuations after the 

Kaikoura earthquake 

in 2016, was the 

key advice given by 

emergency services 

and community 

groups during the 

Save Our Suburbs 

Expo. 

property owners to secure their 

asset with improved fencing, 

other security measures 

including boarding of broken 

windows, along with managing 

the vegetation on the properties 

better to reduce the potential fire 

risk.” 

Mrs Herd said the Save Our 

Suburbs Expo was just one of the 

many steps needed to make the 

east. She said she was already 

in conversations about the 

possibility of the expo becoming 

an annual event. 

In February, the Ministry of 

Civil Defence and Emergency 

Management community 

resilience co-ordinators 

participated in the South 

Brighton preparedness day. 

They talked to residents about 

preparedness, in particular 

about tsunamis and emergency 

mobility alerts.

MORE THAN 20,000 

households across Banks 

Peninsula may have to 

pay a targeted rate for pest 

control. 

Environment 

Canterbury’s proposed 

Pest-Free Banks Peninsula 

strategy would affect 

21,276 rateable properties 

on the peninsula. 

Public consultation on 

the proposal has closed 

and it will go to a hearings 

panel next month before 

the plan is finalised. 

Different properties 

would pay different rates, 

depending on their size 

and value. 

“It would be based 80 

per cent on land value, and 

20 per cent on land area. 

The targeted rate formula 

would be approximately 

$5 per $100,000 land value 

plus $0.65 per hectare of 

land,” said Maree Willetts, 

ECan team leader of strategy, 

planning, biodiversity 

and biosecurity. 

Ms Willetts said the 

project would focus on 

eradicating feral goats and 

controlling pests, such as 

possums, feral cats, 

ferrets, stoats, weasels and 

rats. 

The project aims to help 

meet the goal of a pest-free 

peninsula by 2050.

ARA INSTITUTE OF CANTERBURY 


Retraining puts 

new career within 

easy reach 

It’s never too late to completely change 

career, as Reece Scott has discovered. 

Calling time on his 17-year career in the 

travel industry, he’s completely changed 

path and is now focused on becoming 

a chef. 

“At the time I was the South 

Island sales manager for The Travel 

Corporation, which involved 

representing the company’s award 

winning travel products to travel agents 

and consumers throughout the South 

Island, from Invercargill to Nelson,” 

Reece says. “By then I’d been in the 

industry for a long time and I just felt 

the need to challenge myself again.” 

In order to forge a new career path, 

Reece knew he needed to retrain. “I’ve 

always enjoyed working with food and 

have had experience in the industry 

before so I wanted to brush up on my 

skills and seek employment in cookery.” 

Reece says he chose to study at Ara 

Institute of Canterbury because of its 

reputation as a world-class tertiary 

training centre. “The cookery school 

at Ara has a reputation for preparing 

students to a high standard and giving 

them the best skills for employment. 

They also have great facilities and 

inspiring, knowledgeable tutors.” 

One of those tutors is Stuart 

Goodall, who’s had a hand in 

training many students who’ve 

gone on to become top chefs, 

both here and overseas. “He really 

knows his stuff,” Reece says. “He 

bestows his knowledge to us in 

a very relaxed way that’s easy to 

understand.” 

While Reece undertakes his 

cookery course, he’s getting 

to put his training into 

practice at Ara’s on-campus 

restaurant, Visions. “It’s 

great to see how it all works, 

from when an order comes 

in right through to producing 

a saleable product for paying 

customers. It’s giving me the skills 

and preparation to be ready for 

employment.” 

Reece is keen to encourage others 

– especially those who aren’t happy 

in their current career - to follow 

his example and study towards a 

new career. “Definitely do it,” he 

says. “Retraining has prepared 

me really well for employment 

in this industry.” 

UNSAFE: The Governors Bay jetty has been closed since 2011 after an 

engineering inspection found it to be unfit for public use. 

Fete and music festival to 

restore Governors Bay jetty 


A FETE and music festival 

will be held next week 

in a bid to restore the 

Governors Bay jetty. 

The Governors Bay 

Community Association 

and Governors Bay Jetty 

Restoration Trust have 

joined forces to organise 

the annual fete and a “save 

the jetty” music festival on 

March 30 at the Allendale 

Reserve. 

The Governors Bay 

Jetty Restoration Trust is 

currently raising money 

and working with city 

council on a project to 

restore the jetty. 

The jetty has been 

closed since 2011 after an 

inspection from engineers 

found it to be unfit for 

public use. 

Trust secretary Louisa 

Eades said $735,000 

has already been raised 

towards the project. 

However, she said the 

restoration project was 

likely to cost $3 million in 

total. 

“We are working 

with the city council to 

get them to allocate more 

money towards the project 

in the Annual Plan. If all 

goes to plan, we would 

like to start the project in 

the spring, but that totally 

depends on fundraising,” 

she said. 

Proceeds made from the 

fete and music festival will 

go towards the restoration 

of the jetty. 

The fete will run from 

noon-4pm and include 

entertainment, stalls, a fire 

brigade demonstration, 

white elephant, a vintage 

car showing, food and a 

pop-up bar. 

From 6-10pm, the trust 

will hold the “jetty music 

festival.” 

Local bands will provide 

entertainment and there 

will be food stalls and a 

pop-up bar run by Two 

Thumbs Brewing Co. The 

line-up will include The 

In Crowd, 3KG and James 

Constable.

Heartfelt performance from rocker 

CHERISHED: Aaron Boyce’s role in Showbiz Christchurch’s 

We Will Rock You will be one of his most poignant 

performances. He and his mother Joycelyn (right) at a 

wedding last year. 

• By Georgia O’Connor- 

Harding 

EVERY SHOW Aaron Boyce has 

performed in holds a piece of his 

heart. 

But his role as an old hippy 

rocker in a show celebrating 

British rock-band Queen will be 

one of the most poignant of his 

career. 

Last year, at about the same 

time as Boyce found out he had 

landed a leading role in Showbiz 

Christchurch’s production of We 

Will Rock You, his mother was 

given between 12 and 15 months 

to live. 

It was discovered in November, 

Boyce’s mother Joycelyn, 77, 

had a brain tumour. While the 

tumour has been removed, it is 

malignant meaning her only option 

is to have chemotherapy and 

radiation to keep her alive for a 

little longer, Boyce said. 

It means We Will Rock You 

could be the last show Mrs Boyce 

will ever see her son perform in. 

“Mum is the eternal optimist. 

She is very positive about it all. 

She knows there is no escaping 

what is happening . . . she is an 

incredible woman all round just 

by the mere fact she is trying her 

hardest to make sure us kids are 

keeping intact,” he said. 

He said his mother has been a 

Freddie Mercury fan for as long 

as he could remember and she is 

“absolutely ecstatic” to be going. 

The show tells the story of a 

group of Bohemians who struggle 

to restore the free exchange of 

thought, fashion and live music 

in a future where people think 

the same. 

Boyce said he had kept the 

subject of his mother’s illness to 

himself throughout rehearsals. 

But when she told him to “go 

for your life” and “lay it all out 

there”, it inspired him to talk 

about her. Boyce described her as 

one of the most selfless people he 

has ever met. 

“She has always embraced everyone 

. . . she has always been one 

of the most caring people you 

can find right to the point she is 

the one with cancer and she is 

still trying to support everyone 

else through it.” 

His mother and father Winton 

formerly owned the Governors 

Bay Wheatsheaf Tavern in the 

1980s. 

“Everyone in the pub used 

to call her ‘Joycey Boycey’ or 

‘Mumsie’ . . . everyone could 

come there and talk to her about 

her problems. She would always 

be there to listen.” 

Boyce said there would often 

be about 15 kids lining up on 

their doorstep on a Saturday 

looking for food. 

“If she was camping she would 

meet people . . . all of a sudden 

they would end up staying at our 

place for a month.” 

Boyce said he was a “late 

bloomer” as he didn’t properly 

start singing until he auditioned 

for a band called Bubble Men at 

22-years-old. He went on to tour 

Europe which led to performing 

in rock musicals.

GARDENING 


GARDENING ADVICE 

I have a lemon tree which is about 9 years old and it has produced very few fruits during this time. Only three lemons 

in the past year. I have fertilised it well during this summer period and also added potash. It has grown significantly 

Q and has produced heaps of flowers which developed into small fruit only to fall off the tree. Can you please advise 

what would be the best solution? 

Today’s winning question came from Terry Mundy. Congratulations! 

A 

A nine-year-old lemon tree should be 

producing regular and heavy crops of fruit. 

However, if the tree dries out substantially at 

the very time when young fruit are forming, 

the tree will naturally shed a considerable 

percentage of young fruit. 

This happens not only with lemons, but with many 

other different fruit trees. To avoid this occurring in 

future years, water regularly and deeply throughout 

December, January and February (when fruit is 

forming) and mulch the tree with crushed bark, pea 

straw or compost to help retain soil moisture at a 

constant level. 

Unfortunately, with fruit trees, you only receive one 

opportunity every year for the flowers to 

set fruit. Therefore, it is vitally important 

to be attentive to the tree’s needs during 

these critical summer months.

Landscape Bark and Garden Time Fruit and Citrus 

Fertiliser.

WEEK 10: Taper Time 

The work is done. The only thing to 

do now is to freshen up. You do that 

not only by reducing your training 

but also by getting plenty of sleep 

and eating healthy foods this week. 

Nerves can get in the way of a 

good taper. So try and “keep the 

lid on”. Nerves can also interfere 

with your eating. This is not the 

time to put on or lose weight. Keep 

focused on the plan. You often hear

to the process. That means they 

are not thinking of the final result 

at the finish line but they focus on 

their task during the event. This 

also applies to you. It means that 

most of the time your thoughts 

will be with your rhythm, pace and 

technique. Your breathing will be 

a good measure of your pace and 

if your breathing is more laboured 

than during your training sessions 

you are going too fast. 

6KM 25min 

14KM 30min 

(moderate intensity) 

Prepare yourself to run surrounded 

by a large group of people. It 

can be quite unnerving for some 

people. Above all, run at your own 

pace from the start. Hold back a 

bit when the gun goes off rather 

than trying to get ahead of the 

pack. If you start too fast there will 

be a price to pay later. If you have 

someone you can run with who is 

of a similar level you can keep each 

other in check. 


TIP OF THE WEEK 

The main tip is to enjoy yourself. While you are 

“sticking to the process” there is no reason why 

you can’t take in the occasion at the same time. 

Run with a smile on your face. Have a good one!

Lancaster’s big impact on and off-field 

From player 

to rugby 

executive 

•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 

• By Gordon Findlater 

STEVE Lancaster’s contributions 

to the Crusaders and rugby as a 

whole have been just as big off 

the field as they were on it. 

The lock played 26 matches 

for the Crusaders from 1997- 

2000. He is now New Zealand 

Rugby’s head of participation 

and development. While his 

Crusaders playing days only 

consisted of four years, his career 

in rugby management has seen 

him spend 13 years in total with 

the franchise. 

Lancaster was recruited as a 

player following the end of the 

Crusaders first Super Rugby 

season in 1996, which saw them 

finish last in the competition. 

Before joining the franchise, 

Lancaster was playing club rugby 

in Auckland after returning 

from a three-year stint in Japan 

with Yamaha Júbilo. 

“I finished university and did 

the Kiwi OE thing. I thought 

rugby was a pretty good vehicle 

to play in Japan . . . this is before 

rugby is professional, so I wasn’t 

setting myself up like guys do 

these days, but it was a great 

experience,” said Lancaster. 

While he knew he had joined 

a team which struggled in their 

first campaign, he was confident 

he had joined a Crusaders 

programme which had the right 

tools in place to succeed. 

“It was a pretty compelling 

proposition actually in terms of 

the set up, and the likes of Steve 

Tew and Steve Hansen were 

involved back then. It was clear 

they had some ambition in what 

they wanted to achieve with the 

team,” said Lancaster. 

After a sixth-place finish in 

1997, Lancaster went on to win 

three straight titles with the 

Crusaders from 1998-2000. 

“We felt something building. 

We probably didn’t anticipate 

we’d go on and win the next 

three in a row, but there was 

definitely a chemistry in that 

group,” he said. 

While he admits to keeping 

the fact he was a born and raised 

in Auckland quiet during his 

time in Christchurch, the intense 

rivalry with the Blues – which 

peaked in the 1998 grand-final 

– was special for Lancaster, who 

now has strong Canterbury 

allegiances. 

“It was always special when we 

came up against Auckland and 

the Blues. I played for Marist in 

Auckland so I coped plenty from 

the Brooke brothers and other 

guys who had played for Marist 

whenever we met,” he said. 

Lancaster also moved south 

from Auckland at the same time 

as former Crusaders No 8 Steve 

Surridge. The pair spent their 

early days in Christchurch sharing 

a flat where they honed their 

cooking skills. 

“We had pretty limited repertoires 

to be honest. I know 

he rated his spag bol pretty 

highly and I was the same with 

meatballs, so there wasn’t a lot of 

variety,” said Lancaster. 

During his last year playing 

with the team, Lancaster worked 

with the Crusaders media adviser 

at the time, Sonia Francis, 

to develop the pilot for the 

franchise’s personal development 

programme. This would be the 

beginning of a successful career 

in rugby management. 

“At the end of that season 

when I retired, Steve Tew said to 

me over a beer one night ‘before 

you make any life changing decisions 

come and have a chat’. I left 

a coffee meeting the next week 

with a hand shake on a new job,” 

IN THE GAME: Steve 

Lancaster played 26 

matches at lock for the 

Crusaders before going 

on to spend a further nine 

years with the club in 

management roles. 

said Lancaster. 

After taking a role as the 

Crusaders personal development 

manager for three years, Lancaster 

then worked for the NZRU 

as a professional player, coach 

and referee manager for three 

years, before returning to the 

Crusaders in 2006, where he held 

the role of high-performance 

manager for six years. 

In 2012, Lancaster and his 

family uprooted to Canada, 

where his wife was born, to 

begin a role as manager of highperformance 

at Rugby Canada. 

“I had worked for the biggest 

fish in a relatively small pond, 

so going to rugby in Canada, 

you’re a small fish in a massive 

pond. Rugby doesn’t even hit the 

national conscience there.” 

When Lancaster returned to 

New Zealand in 2015, he held 

his first position outside of rugby 

as Netball New Zealand’s head 

of high-performance. He also 

briefly held the role of interim 

chief executive. 

He has been in his current role 

at New Zealand Rugby since 

2016. “I’m now responsible for all 

rugby underneath professional 

rugby in New Zealand. So that’s 

clubs, schools and junior rugby. 

It’s quite a broad role, but it’s effectively 

overseeing the amateur 

community game in New Zealand,” 

said Lancaster. 

His role comes with a number 

of challenges due to the ever 

changing landscape of the professional 

game and competing 

with the rapid rise in participation 

sports such as basketball. 

“I remember playing NPC for 

Canterbury in front of 27,000 

people. That’s just not the reality 

anymore. We’ve got a 20-week 

Super Rugby competition and 

the All Blacks play 14 tests a year, 

so there’s just so much rugby 

content,” said Lancaster. 

“We see the same thing in the 

community game. When I was a 

kid you could essentially choose 

between rugby and soccer and 

now the choices are limitless 

. . . the onus is on us as a sport to 

have a look at the way we offer 

and deliver the game, ensuring 

that it stays relevant particularly 

to young New Zealanders.” 

And while his playing days 

with the Crusaders are now well 

and truly in the past, he says they 

can be summed up easily. 

“I often tell people we won 

three titles and then I retired in 

2000. We finished 10th in 2001 

so people can draw their own 

conclusions about that.” 

•The Crusaders play the 

Waratahs in Sydney at 9.45pm 

on Saturday.

EXTREME EVENTS 

often mean extreme 

conversations need to 

happen. 

But how quickly one 

of our darkest days as a 

city resulted in a serious 

conversation about the 

name of our rugby team 

seemed a little odd. 

News headlines voicing 

opinion on the Crusaders 

name little more than 24 

hours after Friday’s events 

is an example of click bait 

journalism at its absolute 

worst. However, with the 

flurry of noise being made, 

it only feels appropriate to 

give another take on this 

growing debate. 

In response to the terror 

of Friday, there’s one reason 

we shouldn’t change 

the Crusaders name 

and that’s because of the 

beacon of positivity it provided 

to this city during 

another time of adversity, 

eight years ago. 

There’s no denying the 

name is not a good look. 

However, the timing to 

change the name now after 

little to no noise being 

made about the meaning 

of the term Crusaders 

prior to last week’s event 

would feel like nothing 

more than a knee jerk 

reaction. 

Historically, the 

Crusades were a series of 

religious and political wars 

between Christians and 

Muslims fought in 11th 

and 13th centuries. 

Since debate over the 

team name picked up 

pace, the Crusaders have 

stated they will consider 

the issue which will include 

conversations with a 

range of people including 

our Muslim community. 

However, for many in 

Christchurch the Crusaders 

name means too much 

to scrap. 

Not because of their 

legacy of success including 

a record nine Super Rugby 

titles, but because of what 

they meant to the city in 

it’s previous time of darkness. 

To me the Crusaders 

defining moment isn’t any 

of their Super Rugby title 

campaigns, but instead the 

ray of light they provided 

for those who experienced 

extreme hardship following 

the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake. We didn’t 

win the 2011 Super Rugby 

title, but what that team 

did for its people is their 

greatest legacy. In a time of 

darkness for many in the 

region, watching our team

rally together without a 

home themselves provided 

a weekly escape from 

hardship. 

There’s no denying 

what can be read into 

the name Crusaders and 

something does need 

to change. Change the 

emblem to something 

that represents the type of 

crusade we want to see in 

Christchurch. A crusade 

can be defined as to lead 

or take part in a vigorous 

campaign of any kind of 

change – let a new emblem 

reinforce one of an acceptance 

of all races and 

religions in our region. 

But let the name live 

on and let the Crusaders 

continue to be a beacon 

of positivity for our city 

through these dark days 

just like they’ve done 

before.

DANIEL Whitehouse is 

brimming with confidence about 

the prospect of defending his Le 

Race title on Saturday. 

The 24-year-old Christchurch 

rider dominated the 100km 

classic from Cathedral Square to 

Akaroa last year, leading from 

the top of the first climb to the 

finish line, and now he has his 

eyes on the record books. 

“I really want that course record,” 

said Whitehouse, referring 

to Michael Vink’s 2010 record 

time of 2hr 31min 50sec. 

The lightweight climber won 

Le Race last year in spite of a 

nightmare preparation when his 

appendix was removed only four 

weeks before the start. 

After winning in Akaroa, the 

British-born rider had a frustrating 

season, even though he was 

named king of the mountains in 

the Spanish stage race, Vuelta a 

Castillia y Leon, and surprised 

himself by finishing second 

overall in the Tour de Beauce, a 

second-tier stage race in Canada. 

Whitehouse moved to new 

Irish pro-team EvoPro Racing 

this season, which also has fellow 

Kiwis Shane Archbold, Aaron 

Gate and Luke Mudgway under 

contract. 

He has been impressed with 

the new team’s professionalism 

and will next month join the 

rest of his teammates in Girona, 

Spain. 

Whitehouse said Le Race will 

provide him with good, hard 

racing, which will help him to 

tackle some of the big mountains 

that are waiting for him in 

Europe. 


SPORT 35 

Whitehouse set to defend Le Race title 

FOCUSED: Daniel Whitehouse has his eyes on a new 

course record at Le Race on Saturday. 

In spite of his confidence, 

the 24-year-old knows he will 

not have it all his own way and 

points at the blistering form that 

second-ranked Jason Christie 

has displayed in recent weeks. 

After winning the New Zealand 

road titles in 2017 and 2018, 

Christie recently took silver in 

the time-trial and the road race 

at the Oceania championships. 

“And he’s a great sprinter, so I 

do not want to arrive in Akaroa 

with him,” said Whitehouse. 

The other major threat will be 

race record-holder Michael Vink, 

who is always among the leading 

riders and is able to use his 

power on the Port Hills climbs to 

compete with Whitehouse. 

The 2017 winner Brad Evans 

will also be rating his chances to 

win his second title after finishing 

third last year. 

Another rider to keep an 

eye on is Jake Marryatt, who is 

regarded as one of the big Kiwi 

talents after grabbing national 

medals as an under-23 rider in 

recent years and finishing in the 

top-10 at this year’s elite race. 

With his strong time-trial skills 

and climbing ability, the young 

Christchurch rider has the potential 

to become an outstanding 

all-rounder and could give the 

more seasoned riders a run for 

their money on Saturday. 

If Christie manages to grab 

top honours, the 2019 Le Race 

could become a family affair 

– his wife Georgia Christie 

is the top-ranked rider in the 

women’s field. She claimed the 

national elite title in January and 

performed well at the Oceania 


championships. 

The New Zealand champion 

will be challenged by Kate McIlroy, 

who was pipped at the post 

in last year’s Le Race by Ella 

Harris and also finished second 

in 2017, so has some unfinished 

business on Saturday. 

McIlroy, who will be the 

second-ranked rider in the 

women’s field, has shown 

great early season form and is 

currently leading the Calder- 

Stewart series. 

Georgia has been ranked 

ahead of namesake Henrietta 

Christie, who is not related, and 

finished third in last year’s race 

at only 16. Henrietta recently 

claimed bronze in the junior 

Oceania time trial, is second in 

the Calder-Stewart series and is 

regarded as one of the brightest 

female prospects in New Zealand 

cycling. 

The elite riders will be followed 

by more than 700 riders of 

all ages, shapes and sizes 

testing themselves against the 

tough course on cutting-edge 

technology, as well as vintage 

bikes and tandems. A large 

group of weekend warriors will 

take on the shorter version Le 

Race Petite, which finishes in 

Little River after 53km. 

Rams sign former top 

US college basketballer 

THE CANTERBURY Rams 

have signed a defensive stud in 

the form of United States import 

Isaiah Wilkins ahead of the NBL 

season. 

The 23-year-old is currently 

playing for the Greensboro 

Swarm, the Charlotte Hornetsaffiliated 

NBA G-League team. 

Last year he was named the 

ACC defensive player of the year 

while in his senior year at the 

University of Virginia. 

As a senior, Wilkins averaged 6 

points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 

1.2 steals and 1.4 blocks per 

game, making him one of only 12 

players in all of college basketball 

to average at least 1.1 steals per 

game and 1.3 blocks throughout 

the 2017/18 campaign. 

A year earlier, the 203cm 

forward led the university in 

rebounding, blocked shots and 

steals as a junior. He was also 

named in the ACC defensive 

team of the year. 

Said Rams head coach Mick 

Downer: “We are really excited 

to have Isaiah join our group. He 

is a high-character guy, who was 

a great defender on one of the 

country’s most successful college 

programmes out of the ACC in 

his senior year, a team captain 

and conference defensive player 

of the year, who lead his team to 

the NCAA tournament game. 

It’s these qualities that have us 

excited about the impact Isaiah 

IMPORT: Isaiah Wilkins (right) will arrive in Christchurch next 

month with an impressive defensive record. 

can have on our community and 

team.” 

“He will really help us on 

the glass and at the defensive 

end. Isaiah is a very efficient 

scorer, which is suited to the 

international game, but the roles 

he has accepted in the NBA G 

League this season and at college 

has seen him play part of a team 

focused system, which will suit 

the Rams style of play.” 

Following college, Wilkins 

joined the Houston Rockets for 

the NBA Summer League and 

then received a training camp 

deal at the Charlotte Hornets. 

Out of his training camp deal 

with the Hornets, he was signed 

to the Swarm roster. 

The signing of Wilkins is 

Downer’s 11th addition to 

the team and third and final 

import. 

“We can’t wait to have him join 

the team here in Christchurch 

and help inspire us like he has 

done with so many of his coaches 

and teammates. The guy is first 

class,” said Downer. 

•The Rams begin their NBL 

campaign on the road when they 

play the Southland Sharks on 

April 14. 

Canterbury United 

face tough football 

semi-final in wake 

of terror attack 

• By Gordon Findlater 

THE CANTERBURY United 

Dragons chances of making 

their first national league 

grand-final appearance in nine 

years have been heavily affected 

by last week’s terror attack. 

Canterbury’s final roundrobin 

match against Tasman 

United was 

cancelled due to 

the attack. It was 

agreed the points 

would be shared 

in a scoreless 

draw, meaning 

Canterbury 

finished third 

on 34 points due 

to their superior 

head-to-head 

record over 

Wellington. 

They will now 

play Eastern 

Suburbs in 

the semi-final on Saturday. 

However, for many in the 

squad their thoughts have been 

elsewhere. 

Atta Elayyan, 33, Tariq 

Omar, 24, and Sayyad Milne, 

14, all lost their lives in last 

week’s terror attack. They 

were all playing members 

Willy Gerdsen 

of the Christchurch football 

community. 

“We have many players 

affected by it,” said Canterbury 

coach Willy Gerdsen. 

“We’re doing everything we 

can to prepare best as possible 

for the match, but if there’s 

anyone who feels unable to play 

this weekend I understand.” 

Canterbury have 

played Eastern 

Suburbs twice this 

season, losing on 

both occasions. 

In November, 

Canterbury were 

defeated 1-3 at 

English Park and in 

January they were 

hammered 1-5 in 

Auckland. 

The cancellation 

of the Nelson 

match also means 

Canterbury will go 

into the semi-final 

having played just two matches 

in the last month. 

•The semi-final will kick off 

at 2.35pm at Trusts Arena in 

Auckland. The winner will 

meet the victor of the other 

semi-final between Auckland 

City and Team Wellington.

Wild styling for 

Ford Ranger Raptor 

PIONEER OF the Ford 

Motor Co, and mass 

production, Henry Ford 

once said: “If it ain’t broke, 

why fix it?’’ 

We could say the same 

today with one of Ford’s 

best engines, the fabulous 

3.2-litre five-cylinder diesel 

that has given Ranger 

ute, and its off-shoot, the 

Everest sport utility vehicle, 

such good service over the 

years is now just an option. 

The Everest now utilises 

a 2-litre, four-cylinder 

twin-turbocharged diesel 

which is also going into 

the Ranger Wildtrak and 

Raptor double-cab utes. 

It’s the latter vehicle this 

evaluation focuses on, the 

Raptor is an upgraded, 

upmarket version of the 

Ranger and it stands out 

for its hugely wild looks 

and aggressive stance. 

There’s been a lot of suspension 

development 

work on Raptor and with 

its huge tyres it looks as if 

it could take on any challenge. 

It’s the development work 

that makes the Raptor 

almost a different vehicle 

from Ranger, it is more 

comfortable to ride in, and 

you can tell immediately 

from being in the vehicle 

that the suspension is a 

step up. The ride is glorious, 

bumps and ruts are 

absorbed willingly, and 

there’s very little jiggle 

associated with vehicles 

which utilise a load carrying, 

live rear axle. 

I don’t know that Ford 

will get away unscathed 

with the new engine, while 

it is a beauty in terms of 

output, performance and 

refinement, educating buyers 

that 2-litre is enough in 

a 2300kg vehicle will be a 

big ask. 

However, I can report 

that the engine is up 

to task. Ford rate it 

with 157kW and a 

healthy500Nm of torque, 

both outputs developed low 

at 3750rpm and 1750rpm 

respectively. 

The engine drives 

through a 10-speed automatic 

gearbox. There is 

an unmistakeable diesel 

throb, but it is well isolated 

from the cabin, and with 

the smooth gearshifts and 

seemingly endless supply of 

ratios, driveline sophistication 

has been a high manufacturing 

priority. 

Like all diesels, you can 

also expect great economy 

from the new four-potter.

FORD RANGER RAPTOR: Four-wheel-drive ute. 

Bear in mind that the 

Raptor is a heavy vehicle, 

it carries a lot of kit, yet 

it is still rated by Ford 

with a 8.2-litre per 100km 

(35mpg) combined cycle 

average. I was pleased with 

the results appearing on 

the trip computer. The best 

average readout was showing 

9.4l/100km (30mpg), 

with an instantaneous figure 

of around 6.5l/100km 

(44mpg) showing at 

100km/h, the engine loping 

over at just 1500rpm. 

• Price – Ford Ranger 

Raptor, $84,990 

• Dimensions – 

Length, 5398mm; 

width, 2028mm; 

height, 1873mm 

• Configuration 

– Four-cylinder, 

four-wheel-drive, 

1996cc, 157kW, 

500Nm, 10-speed 

automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 9sec 

• Fuel usage – 

8.2l/100km 

At highway speed the 

engine is fully responsive, 

there was never a point 

when I felt it went offboost, 

the appropriate gear 

was always selected, while 

response to accelerator 

request is instant. 

In terms of acceleration, 

the Raptor will reach 

100km/h from a standstill 

in 9sec, it is relatively quick 

off the line and will haul 

in mid-range speed with 

strong boost. 

The Raptor lands in New 

Zealand in just one variant 

and is listed at $84,990. 

It comes with all the trick 

gear Ford is building into 

its utes these days, and with 

the luxury and technological 

specification it’s hard 

to fathom it is a five-seater 

ute based on rugged goanywhere 

mechanicals. 

That comment is based 

on the complex four-wheeldrive 

system, all options 

can be initiated through a 

centre console-mounted 

dial switch. 

Grip is supplied through 

massive 285/70 x 17in 

BF Goodrich all-terrain 

tyres, and with an amazing 

283mm of ground 

clearance the Raptor is 

a formidable off-road 

challenger. 

If you think the Raptor 

is a vehicle which has the 

looks but no substance, it 

comes with special interior 

trim – leather and suede 

trim, keyless entry and 

ignition, paddle-shift gear 

selectors, special display 

graphics and decals, and 

stop-start engine technology 

is all included. 

I wouldn’t have been 

happy if I hadn’t put the 

Raptor to good use. I used 

the deck area to take an 

errant plant that had grown 

out of control on the front 

of my property to the green 

waste depot. 

That’s one of the many 

reasons I like utes, they 

are versatile and practical. 

I also like the Raptor 

for its functionality at the 

other end, the new engine 

is something that will filter 

through other Ford product 

in time. 

The Raptor is certainly 

a ute for someone who 

likes to be noticed, 

however, it is far more 

than just a show pony. It 

has by far class-leading 

suspension, and with the 

well-proven mechanicals 

it is based on, it is another 

model which will keep 

Ford and Ranger market 

leaders for considerable 

time to come.

Listings wanted and 

onLy 1/2 commision 

I’ve been selling real estate 

in Christchurch for over 

50 years and this is your 

guarantee of performance 

and reliability. 

My commission is half 

what many firms charge. I 

will look after you.

commission is half most firms. 

REAA - Disclosure rules 

when selling a home 

Real estate advertisements are designed to make 

every property look like a dream buy. 

That’s why they gloss over the 

negative aspects and linger on the good 

points, wanting you to be drawn in by 

the sun-drenched location rather than 

be put off by lack of garaging. It’s no 

crime to gloss over a property’s quirks, 

but lying by omission or design about 

more serious matters is not allowed. If 

you do this when selling your property 

you may be at risk of being sued by the 

purchaser. 

When you’re ready to sell your 

property it’s a good idea to get legal 

advice about your obligations before 

you sign an agency agreement. Most 

of these agreements, which set out the 

terms and conditions of your contract 

with the real estate agent, require you 

to confirm that you are unaware of any 

undisclosed defects 

in the property and 

that you haven’t 

withheld any 

information about it. 

As a seller, you must 

also confirm that 

your property has all 

the necessary consents 

and code compliance 

certificates for any 

building work. Any outstanding consents, 

including ones that involve any works at a 

neighbour’s property, should be disclosed 

to the agent. 

This is important for several reasons. 

Licensed real estate agents have 

clear obligations when it comes to 

disclosure. They must not mislead a 

seller or a potential buyer, or withhold 

any information. While it’s not up 

to the agent to uncover any hidden 

defects in a property, they must tell any 

prospective buyers what they know. 

Under the Real Estate Agents Act 

2008, if licensed real estate agents 

suspect that a property may have a 

defect then they are obliged to ask 

the seller about it, or advise potential 

buyers of any risks. For example, if a 

property is next door to a proposed 

new development, or if it’s in an area 

that’s been subject to flooding, the agent 

must tell prospective buyers rather than 

turning a blind eye. 

If your property may be prone to 

weathertightness issues thanks to its 

age or cladding, then the agent may 

have to disclose this potential risk to

M: 021 300 567 E: mike@starmedia.kiwi 

NEW LISTINGS 

prospective buyers. If it doesn’t have 

any weathertightness problems it may 

be worth getting this confirmed in an 

expert report by a qualified building 

inspector who has professional 

indemnity insurance, understands 

the strict legal requirements of their 

role and carries out their work in 

accordance with the New Zealand 

Property Inspection Standard. This will 

help make the sale process as efficient 

as possible. 

If you know there are issues 

with the property, whether 

it’s something small like a 

garage door not working 

properly, or a bigger deal 

like an unconsented deck, it’s best to 

discuss them with the agent you are 

working with. They can help you decide 

how to manage the problem, whether 

that means fixing it, or disclosing it to 

potential buyers. However, a licensed 

real estate agent must not disclose any 

problems with your property to buyers 

without getting your consent first. If a 

seller doesn’t agree on a disclosure, the 

agent is required to stop working for 

them rather than disclose any defects 

without consent. 

These rules offer more protection to 

buyers than the traditional attitude of 

‘caveat emptor’ (buyer beware), which 

assumed that the seller would always 

know more than the buyer and any sale 

was at the buyer’s risk. However, buyers 

should always do their own research 

about a property before signing a sale 

and purchase agreement. Buyers should 

also ask the agent about anything they 

are concerned about, no matter how 

trivial it may seem. It’s far better to get 

an answer upfront than find out when 

it’s too late.

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ACT 1991 (RMA) 

CHRISTCHURCH DISTRICT PLAN 

PROPOSED PLAN CHANGE 1 

WOOLSTON RISK MANAGEMENT AREA 

Christchurch City Council has prepared proposed Plan Change 1 to the District Plan. 

The Proposed Plan Change 

Proposed Plan Change 1 seeks to provide updated District Plan provisions so that it: 

(a) manages low probability but potentially high impact risks which may arise from 

the location of sensitive activities, including preschools, in close proximity to the 

two bulk fuel storage terminals; 

(b) enables the ongoing efficient use of the two bulk fuel storage terminals and 

prevents reverse sensitivity effects from arising; and 

(c) requires other new discretionary or non-complying activities seeking to establish 

in the area to consider the issue of risk and ensure they meet relevant risk 

acceptance criteria appropriate to the nature of the proposed activities when 

applying for resource consent but without the need to undertake individual 

Quantitative Risk Assessments (QRAs). 

Where to view the Plan Change 

The proposed Plan Change and assessment required under section 32 of the RMA, 

together with any supporting documents can be viewed during normal opening hours 

at any of the Council’s Service Centre offices, Council libraries and on the Council 

website: www.ccc.govt/planchange 

Submissions 

Any person may make a submission on this Plan Change. Written or electronic 

submissions must be in accordance with the prescribed Form 5 of the Resource 

Management (Forms, Fees and Procedure) Regulations 2003 or similar. Forms are 

available from the Council Offices (hard copies) or from the Council website 

(electronic) www.ccc.govt/planchange. For details of your nearest service centre or 

library, please telephone 941 8999. 

THE CLOSING DATE FOR RECEIPT OF SUBMISSIONS IS 

WEDNESDAY, 17 APRIL 2019, BEFORE 5PM. 

Process for public participation 

Once all submissions have been received, they will be available for public inspection. 

There will be an opportunity to make a submission in support of or in opposition to 

any of these submissions but the RMA (Schedule 1, Clause 8) restricts who can make 

a further submission. A Council hearing will then be arranged to consider all 

submissions following which decisions will be made. Any person who has made a 

submission has the right to appeal the decision to the Environment Court. 

Note: The rules proposed in this Plan Change will have no legal effect until the Council 

gives public notice of its decision on the Plan Change and matters raised in 

submissions or the Environment Court makes an order which grants any rule 

immediate effect (RMA, s86B). 

If you’d like more information, please contact the City Planning Team at 941-8999 and 

ask to speak to Marie Pollisco, Policy Planner, about Proposed Plan Change 1 or email 

us at planchange@ccc.govt.nz
