ANNA PROVAN, Kirby 

Streeter and Kaitlyn Tinworth 

have only been teaching for five 

years. 

But they say it feels like it has 

been a lifetime – and teacher 

burnout is a real thing they deal 

with. 

The Cashmere, Christchurch 

Boys’ and Christchurch Girls’ 

high school teachers were part 

of the thousands of primary, 

intermediate and secondary 

teachers that took part in 

yesterday’s industrial action. 

They rallied in Victoria 

Square at 11.30am before 

marching to the Ministry of 

Education building on Hereford 

St. 

Ms Provan said it was to help 

make sure the profession was 

valued not only by teachers and 

students. 

“But the whole country. The 

Government, the private sector, 

everyone.” 

And Ms Streeter said the 

problem wasn’t pay alone.

Policemen 

who caught 

accused 

mosque 

shooter 

on ‘hit’ list 

• By Barry Clarke and 

Sophie Cornish 

THE TWO policemen who 

captured the March 15 terror 

accused were on a list compiled 

by Russian, and Nazi fanatic, Troy 

Dubovskiy. 

The Star can reveal today, not 

only did Dubovskiy send worrying 

emails 

to a school he 

lived close to, 

but he also appears 

to have 

targeted the 

two policemen 

who stopped the 

alleged gunman 

on Brougham St 

after the attacks 

Troy 

Dubovskiy 

on the Al Noor and Linwood 

mosques. 

Armed police raided 

Dubovskiy’s St Martins home 

on March 26 after believing the 

former Russian soldier was a 

serious threat. Emails to the school 

were the catalyst for the raid. 

The house was empty but they 

found an AK-47 assault rifle, 

several hundred rounds of ammunition 

and a list which had the 

two police officers on it. 

Nazi uniforms, helmets and 

clothing along with other World 

War 2 memorabilia and other 

extremist content was found at 

Dubovskiy’s home.

Mild winter may be on the way 

IF YOU have enjoyed the balmy 

May weather – more could be 

on the way. 

Blue Skies Weather and 

Climate Services Ltd owner 

Tony Trewinnard said there is 

no indication this winter will 

be any warmer, colder, wetter 

or drier than normal. 

However, Christchurch 

should expect to see more 

south-westerly winds than 

usual, he said. 

“Obviously what is 

coming up in the next 

10 days is good example 

of that . . . while southwesterlies 

often make 

things cold, this isn’t 

always the case.” 

“We have had a lot 

of south-west winds 

through the month of May and 

yet our daytime temperatures 

Tony 

Trewinnard 

have been quite mild. 

Our night times have 

been fairly cold and we 

have had some light 

frosts and that’s typical 

when you get southwesterlies.” 

“But that doesn’t 

mean that’s going to be 

the pattern all through 

the winter, there will be periods 

where the wind flow comes 

from all directions,” said Mr 

Trewinnard. 

When comparing the 

predictions of this season to 

previous similar seasons, Mr 

Trewinnard said we could see 

more cloudy days. 

“(We could see) a number of 

cloudy days and nights, which 

could produce less frostiness. 

That could be one of the 

characteristics we see.” 

Making election waves 


AFTER 40 years on the 

airwaves, James Daniels now 

wants to make waves at the city 

council table. 

The 64-year-old veteran radio 

DJ will take on David East for 

the Coastal Ward in October’s 

local body elections. 

It comes a week after medical 

supplies salesman Kelly Barber 

announced he would also contest 

the seat for Labour-aligned The 

People’s Choice. 

Mr Daniels grew up in the 

area, attending South, Central 

and North New Brighton 

schools. 

“This community is me. I’ve 

grown up in Union St, Gresham 

Tce, Collingwood St, Rae Lane, 

Brentwood St, Marriotts Rd and 

still live in Betula Pl, so I know 

the area, its history, its issues and 

the fact that we’ve been let down 

by the city’s governors,” Mr 

Daniels said. 

“The current low point is the 

state of our ward. There are 

still too many house and basic 

infrastructure repairs to be 

started or completed.” 

He is best known for his 

40-year broadcasting career 

– including being one half of 

‘James and Ken’ with Ken Ellis 

in the 1980s and more recently 

co-hosting The Breeze breakfast 

show with Hilary Muir. 

But he has also held 

governance roles for 25 years. 

Mr Daniels spent almost 20 

years on the tribal council for 

his iwi Ngai Tahu, two terms on 

the board of Touch New Zealand 

and a foundation director of 

More FM. 

He is currently on the board 

of Ngai Tahu Property Ltd, with 

roles in media and charitable 

sectors. 

“The council needs people with 

proven, good governance skills 

because we have some strategic, 

yet complex, difficult decisions to 

make,” Mr Daniels said. 

“I’ll bring energy, expertise 

and a fresh perspective to the 

process . . . this area is where I 

grew up and where I will grow 

old.” 

Mr Daniels said New Brighton 

Rd was “embarrassingly broken” 

and should be only for fourwheel-drives. 

The Estuary edge and 

Southshore are also in need of a 

lot of work and proposed rates 

rises are too high, he said. 

Incumbent Cr East knows Mr

Daniels well – he was a few years 

ahead of him at Shirley Boys’ 

High School. “I never thought 

I’d go into this election without 

competition and I respect his 

right to have a go.” 

Cr East said they both have 

long family connections to the 

area and he wasn’t going to take 

Mr Daniels’ candidacy lightly. 

“I’m not going to pick holes in 

my opposition, I’m going to let 

my own track record speak for

Reward gets 

40 responses 

Police have received 40 

responses following the 

announcement of a $100,000 

reward for the unsolved 

murder of 21-year-old Angela 

Blackmoore in 1995. The 

responses were received at 

the 0800 tipline, set up for 

Operation Vancouver. The 

pregnant mother was stabbed 

39 times in her Wainoni home 

on August 17. No one has been 

arrested in connection to her 

death.

to March 15 victims 

About $100,000 has been 

donated to the March 15 terror 

victims and their families 

by Australia’s infamous ‘egg 

boy’. William Connolly, 17, 

made international headlines 

after breaking an egg on 

the head of controversial 

Australian senator Fraser 

Anning, who blamed Muslim 

immigration for the shooting. 

A Go Fund Me page was 

set up for Mr Connolly

‘We’re counsellors, social workers, sometimes 

ACTION: Teacher-to-be Lindsay Greene and her daughter 

Marieka, 7, were out in support at the rally yesterday. 

•From page 1 

“My sign isn’t actually a lie. I 

was marking at the time and I 

told my boyfriend I’ve got heaps

Ms Streeter said on top of time 

in the classroom, marking and

activities teachers run. 

Teachers need more resource 

and better working conditions to 

be better for their students, Ms 

Tinworth said. 

“At the end of the day we want 

to better our society and to do 

that, we need a better education 

system and to do that we need to 

support teachers,” she said. 

“We’re not just teachers. We’re 

counsellors, social workers, 

sometimes we feed the students.” 

Across the country, almost 

50,000 teachers have left classrooms 

to rally for better pay and 

work conditions.

“What do we want?” 

“More teachers.”

STAND-OFF: Police spent three hours negotiating with Troy 

Dubovskiy before he died of a suspected suicide. 

Russian sent email, had list 

•From page 1 

That prompted a major 

operation across the city. 

Dubovskiy was found in his 

vehicle in Richmond several 

hours later. 

After a stand-off the 54-yearold 

was found with critical stab 

injuries in the early hours of 

March 27 and later died. His 

death is suspected suicide. 

At the time Canterbury police 

chief, Superintendent John Price, 

said Dubovskiy was a “significant 

threat to the community.” 

Investigations showed 

Dubovskiy supported the actions 

of the mosque gunman, police 

said. But no connection had been 

established between the two. 

Police chiefs did not respond 

yesterday to questions from The 

Star about the two officers on 

Dubovskiy’s list. 

The Police Association, which 

is the police officers’ union, and 

is involved in welfare issues, said 

the matter fell into the police operations 

category, and also would 

not comment. 

Meanwhile, a 27-year-old will 

appear in the district court on 

Tuesday after he was allegedly 

caught with a large amount of 

cash in a safe, methamphetamine 

and a sawn off shotgun on the 

day of the terror attacks. 

The motorist was spotted by 

one of the many police patrols 

scouring Christchurch for 

the mosque gunman driving 

suspiciously in Strickland St, 

Spreydon, and stopped. 

Police would not say yesterday 

how much money was in the safe, 

but The Star understands it was 

about $170,000. 

He is a facing charges of 

possession of methamphetamine 

for supply, unlawful possession 

of a firearm and unlawful 

possession of ammunition.

Parents 

warned of 

sex offender 

• By Sophie Cornish 

PARENTS OF school and preschool 

children in Aranui and 

Wainoni have been warned about 

a sex offender living in the area. 

Letters were sent to parents 

of children attending St James 

School, Haeata Community 

Campus, Just Kids Community 

Preschool, E Tipu E Rea Early 

Learning Centre, The Walnut 

Tree Preschool, BestStart Wainoni 

and Te Kotahitanga Ki Waitaha 

Kohanga Reo recently. 

“Department of Corrections 

staff have met with us and the 

Ministry of Education to advise 

that they are managing a person 

living in our community who is 

on sentence for sexual offences 

against children,” said the letter. 

It says the purpose of the letter 

is to share the information with 

parents and to provide a timely 

reminder to have conversations 

with children about keeping 

themselves and others safe. 

The offender has already been 

living in the community for some 

time while continuing with a 

rehab programme. 

The person is living in accommodation 

a safe distance from 

any school or childcare facility, is 

visited regularly from probation 

officers and is GPS monitored.

Rabbit and the Easter Bunny. 

They are some of children’s 

most beloved bunnies and they 

now have a grave site at the 

Anzac Drive and New Brighton 

Rd roundabout. 

A hike in the rabbit population 

in the red zone over the last 

year will see the calicivirus 

K5 released in Heathcote, 

Brooklands, Horseshoe Lake, 

Bexley and Avondale at the end 

of June. 

On the McLean scale of one 

to eight, which measures rabbit 

density, biosecurity experts 

scored the areas four. That’s an 

increase since last spring, which 

has led to the virus’ release 

and someone putting up the 

memorials. 

The New Zealand Transport 

Agency – which manages the 

roundabout – is aware of the 

crosses, said maintenance 

contract manager North 

Canterbury Barry Stratton. 

“But [it] is not planning to 

remove them unless they cause 

safety issues with people not 

paying attention to their driving.” 

Mr Stratton said the agency 

does not know who put the 

memorials up.

Zealand Christchurch manager 


Bunny crosses protest calcivirus 

for land and property, Matt 

Bradley, said the K5 virus was the 

recommended option as it only 

affected European rabbits. 

“We consulted with the New

before making the decision to 

release the virus. They have 

made sure veterinary clinics in 

Christchurch are aware so they 

can remind all owners of pet 

rabbits to take the appropriate 

steps to ensure their animals are 

vaccinated appropriately,” Mr 

Bradley said. 

NZVA chief veterinary officer 

Helen Beattie said some pet 

rabbits in the area will have 

some immunity from previous 

vaccinations, but others will have 

no protection. 

“Rabbits vaccinated against 

previously released strains of the 

calicivirus are likely to have some 

immunity but owners should 

be aware these animals require 

a booster vaccination every 12 

months,” Dr Beattie said.

and owners should have these

take up to 21 days to become 

effective. Calicivirus is spread 

by direct contact with other 

rabbits through insect vectors, 

such as flies and fleas, or by 

contact with contaminated 

objects. It kills rabbits within 12

Water strategy for next 100 years 


A PLAN to cover the next 100 

years of every aspect of the city’s 

water is in the pipeline. 

An integrated strategy to 

manage the water supply, wastewater, 

stormwater, surface water, 

groundwater and flood management 

for the next century is being 

developed by the city council. 

Water 

accounts for 25 

per cent of the 

city council’s 

projected 

spend over 

the next 10 

years with 

Helen 

Beaumont 

$10 billion 

budgeted for 

it in the Long 

Term Plan. 

“The strategy is a high-level 

overarching strategy developed 

to consider water resources 

and water services, values and 

demands, and set a framework 

to help the council to manage 

them in an integrated way for 

at least the next 100 years,” city 

council water supply programme 

manager Helen Beaumont. 

The point of the plan is to 

address 11 “key strategic issues” 

relating to water. 

•Different perceptions of the 

value of the waters. 

•Poor state of some waterways. 

•Vulnerability of 

PIPELINE: The city council is developing an integrated 

strategy to help manage the city’s water, including 

flooding, for the next 100 years. 

Christchurch’s groundwater 

source to contamination. 

•Wastewater overflows and 

effects on surface water. 

•Treated wastewater discharges 

into Akaroa Harbour. 

•Stormwater discharges and 

the effects on surface water. 

•Flooding and flood management. 

•Responding/adapting to the 

anticipated effects of sea level rise 

on water resources and related 

infrastructure. 


•Long-term availability of 

water for water supply. 

•Long-term sustainable wastewater 

treatment and disposal. 

•Infrastructure efficiency and 

resilience. 

It includes short, medium 

and long-term goals such as 

achieving a high standard of 

surface and groundwater quality, 

increasing awareness within 

the community and adapting to 

climate change. 

“The review of the strategies 

began back in 2015 and external 

costs to date total $302,350, for 

stakeholder workshops, development 

of a working draft strategy, 

and external stakeholder reviews,” 

Ms Beaumont said. 

Staff costs are in addition and 

come out of existing budgets for 

policy development. 

Aotearoa Water Action Group 

spokesman Peter Richardson 

said it was a great move by the 

city council. 

“I think it sounds absolutely 

fantastic. Our councillors have 

shown such leadership in the 

water space,” he said. 

City councillor Yani Johanson 

said it was an important process 

for the whole community to 

engage in. 

“Water is such a fundamental 

thing for our community and 

particularly with all that we’ve 

been through.” 

However, he was worried that 

the process was being rushed. 

“I think this is really an 

important document for us as 

a city, it’s really important we 

spend as much time as required 

to really embrace the ideas from 

across our city to make sure 

we get something people buy 

into.” 

Public consultation on the 

strategy is expected to take 

place next month after the draft 

is approved by a city council 

working group. 

NEWS 7 

Plan for city’s 

future set to 

be signed off 


A REPORT on settlement 

patterns which will shape the 

region for the next 20 years could 

be approved tomorrow. 

The report, titled Our Space, is 

set to be endorsed by the Greater 

Christchurch Partnership – a 

group made up of mainly 

local councils, Environment 

Canterbury and Ngai Tahu – at its 

meeting tomorrow. 

It looks at how expected 

settlement patterns will unfold 

in the greater Christchurch area, 

and what space and infrastructure 

will be needed for the growing 

population and businesses by 

2048. 

It said there would be enough 

space for housing in the next 10 

years. However, the area may need 

another 12,750 homes within 30 

years. It also said an ageing population 

and more people living 

alone meant a higher number 

of single-person dwellings 

would be needed. 

Sixty-five per cent of the growth 

should be in Christchurch, 20 per 

cent in Selwyn and 15 per cent 

in Waimakariri, the draft report 

said. In 30 years, the population 

of greater Christchurch is 

expected to be between 618,000 

and 742,000.

WHEN ELWYN Judson’s family 

asked him what he wanted for 

his 90th birthday, he simply 

replied: “Well . . . a parachute 

jump.” 

The Casebrook resident 

launched out of a plane from 

9000ft in a tandem skydive over 

Ashburton to celebrate the milestone 

on May 25. 

In spite of a broken back and 

hip replacement last year, Mr 

Judson felt no nerves at any moment 

during his experience – he 

even remained calm during his 

30sec free fall. 

Mr Judson loves his sports and 

still gets out regularly to play 

outdoor bowls, but the retired 

carpet layer said the skydive was 

his first time doing anything so 

extreme. 

“It’s something that I’d had on 

my bucket list for some time,” 

said Mr Judson. 

“It was just something that 

cropped up.” 

His son, Andrew Judson, said 

he organised the skydive with an 

initial “apprehension.” 

“I said to him that I would 

pay for it but that he had to get 

checked out by the doctor first. 

He went straight in and got his 

clearance,” said Andrew. 

Mr Judson said the feeling of 

free falling was his favourite part 

of the skydive. 

“You don’t feel as if you’re 

moving at all, It feels as if you

are floating,” said Mr Judson. 

He said when the parachute 

was pulled, it gave him a chance 

to take in the “brilliant” view 

of “all the ocean and the mountains” 

below him. 

About 20 family members 

waited to congratulate Mr 

Judson at the base of Skydiving 

Kiwis as he came down to land. 

“They were all surprised I 

actually did it,” said Mr Judson. 

One of the family members 

was his 94-year-old sister who 

flew down from Auckland for 

the first time since before the 

Christchurch earthquakes to 

watch her brother take the 

plunge. 

“It was really great to have 

her down here for it,” said Mr 

Judson. 

Mr Judson said he had “never 

met a friendlier bunch of people” 

than the team at Skydiving 

Kiwis. 

PHOTOS: SKYDIVING KIWIS 

His instructor, Dakota Keen, 

said the entire skydive “flowed 

really nicely.” 

“I was a bit nervous at the start 

because he has had a couple of 

health issues but we saw through 

them and he did everything he 

was asked to do.” 

Mr Judson was the oldest person 

Mr Keen had ever been in a 

tandem with. 

“It was amazing, it was a great 

honour for me,” he said. 

As far as the next item on Mr 

Judson’s bucket list goes, he said 

he is just focussed on reaching 

his next birthday. 

But he does have one ultimate 

goal – which is to do another 

skydive when he gets to his 

100th birthday.

SIX CONTROVERSIAL lights 

proposed for Hagley Oval could 

loom over the park at nearly 50m 

tall. 

The Canterbury Cricket Trust 

has outlined plans for six 48.9m 

permanent lights around the 

oval after it asked Regenerate 

Christchurch for help using postquake 

legislation to change the 

cricket pitch’s resource consent. 

By comparison the lights at 

Christchurch 

Stadium are 

44m. 

Trust 

chairman Lee 

Robinson said 

the initial plan 

was for four 

retractable lights 

up to 48.9m 

Robinson 

high when fully extended and 

30.9m high when unused. But he 

said the “home of cricket,” Lord’s 

Cricket Ground in London, 

warned against retractable lights. 

“Lord’s Cricket Ground, 

that currently has retractable/ 

removable lights, have advised 

that they are currently going 

through a planning process to 

change their lights and they 

have strongly recommended this 

type of retractable lighting be 

avoided,” he said. 

“It is accepted in the cricketing 

world that fixed lights are 

a more appropriate alternative 

than retractable lights, as they 

more easily meet guidelines and 

technical specifications.” 

The lights were estimated to 

cost $6m to $8m and the trust 

would fundraise to cover the cost. 

The trust’s board includes 

central city landowner 

and property developer 

Peter Guthrey and former High 

Court judge Sir John Hansen. 

However, Hands Off Hagley 

chairman and group member 

Martin Meehan said the height 

of the permanent lights would 

ruin the “vista” of Hagley Park, 

sitting above the treeline. 

“It’s all a bit like a duck paddling, 

all the action is taking place 


48.9m lights may tower over Hagley 

Lee 

underwater,” Mr Meehan said. 

“It’s one thing after another.” 

The Star revealed work needs 

to be fast tracked so the city can 

be selected to host games in the 

2021 ICC Women’s World Cup 

later this year. 

Lights are necessary for the 

ground hosting international 

day-night fixtures and broadcast. 

But the oval’s current resource 

consent also has constraints on 

the number of major fixtures, 

spectator numbers, traffic and 

parking requirements that would 

be addressed. 

“Hagley Oval cannot host 

large international events as it 

currently stands and is not fit for 

ILLUMINATE: Six 

permanent lights 

for Hagley Oval 

would be 48.9m, 

which is taller than 

the 44m lights 

at Christchurch 

Stadium. 

purpose for those events it does 

host,” Mr Robinson said. 

The trust wants to address 

issues through changing the 

District Plan using section 71 of 

the Greater Christchurch Regeneration 

Act 2016. 

It is heading to the United 

Kingdom to lobby potential 

sponsors next month. 

“The purpose of the 

Canterbury Cricket Trust’s 

trip to the United Kingdom 

is to share information with 

interested parties, including 

potential donors,” Mr Robinson 

said. “This is including the intent 

to apply for consent for fixed 

lighting.”

Plan to manage 

Northern Corridor 

traffic may change 


CHANGES MAY be on the cards 

for the plan to manage traffic 

from the Northern Corridor. 

The $240m New Zealand 

Transport Agency project will 

finish on Cranford St when it is 

completed mid-next year. It is 

expected to increase the traffic 

volume through St Albans by 30 

per cent. 

A $10 to $15 million plan by 

the city council to deal with 

traffic from the motorway 

through to the central city 

was met with backlash from 

St Albans residents who said it 

would divide the suburb and 

make the road unsafe. Instead an 

alternative plan was developed by 

ViaStrada director Axel Wilke, 

including bus lanes and express 

bus services. 

City council staff have 

recommended high-occupancy 

lanes in a city-bound direction 

north of Innes Rd, part of Mr 

Wilke’s alternate plan. The 

Downstream Effects Management 

Plan is set to be approved by the 

Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

and Papanui-Innes community 

boards tomorrow. The report said 

the lane may “eventually” be redesignated 

as a bus lane. 

Mr Wilke was “astonished” but 

pleased with the changes at such 

a late stage in the planning. 

“ 

I felt so empowered, 

the course gave me 

so much courage 

and so many tools to 

use in my business.

Turanga on 

shortlist 

for global 

recognition 

TŪRANGA HAS been 

short-listed for a prestigious 

international award. 

The central city library is one 

of four from around the world selected 

as finalists for the 2019 International 

Federation of Library 

Associations/Systematic Public 

Library of the Year Award. 

The award is given annually to 

a library that has been newly-built 

or set up in premises not previously

Tūranga is up against the Green 

Square Library and Plaza in Sydney, 

Australia, Bibliotheek LocHal

Finland. 

The four finalists were selected 

from an initial field of 16 and the

will take place in Athens, Greece, 

in August.

Ships likely breach Akaroa regulations 

• By Louis Day 

CRUISE SHIPS in Akaroa 

could be operating in breach of 

harbour regulations – and with 

the knowledge of Environment 

Canterbury. 

Naval architect Harry 

Stronach has been investigating 

the issue for months and says 

cruise ships in 

Akaroa were 

likely to be 

in breach of 

regulations and 

disturbing the 

seabed. 

Harry 

Stronach 

The Regional 

Coastal 

Environment 

Plan for the 

Canterbury region limits seabed 

disturbance to a total of 50 m3 

in any three-month period, 

for any coastal area outside an 

operational port. 

Akaroa Harbour is not classed 

as an operational port. 

Mr Stronach said any ship 

of over 40,000 gross tonnage, 

which is 90 per cent of cruise 

ships visiting Akaroa, was likely 

to cause a seabed disturbance at 

least 10 times the permitted level, 

per visit. 

This would be a breach of 

Section 338 of the Resource 

Management Act, said Mr 

Stronach. 

Environment Canterbury’s 

regional harbourmaster Jim 

Dilley acknowledged cruise ships 

were most likely in breach of the 

Coastal Plan but said there was 

not sufficient evidence to prove 

it. 

“Environment Canterbury 

has openly acknowledged 

that anchors of the large ships 

may disturb a larger volume 

of the seabed than permitted 

under the Coastal Plan, but 

without evidence of any 

adverse environmental impact, 

enforcement action is not 

warranted,” he said. 

“Environment Canterbury is 

mindful of the potential for any 

adverse environmental impact 

and has commissioned an 

environmental risk assessment 

for Akaroa Harbour, to be 

conducted by scientists with 

coastal marine environment 

expertise. 

“We have also initiated a code 

of practice with cruise ship 

operators. While voluntary, the 

code identifies the concerns

raised and how these may be 

mitigated. It will be introduced 

before the 2019-20 cruise

Dilley.

Popcorn and sneak-thievery 

LAURA’S recovery is going 

well, however, now she has 

a nasty cold so family-funtime 

continues, with added 

sniffling and groaning. 

Before the dreaded 

lurgy took hold here Laura 

had some time out with 

a friend and fellow mum 

while I took Vittoria to the 

movies. Alone. 

We have taken her to the 

movies before, but when 

she was a proper wee baby. 

With her being a full-on 

toddler, I was worried 

about how it would go. 

The session I picked had 

a lot going in my favour. It 

was a special screening for 

parents with small kids and 

we were watching Pokemon 

Detective Pikachu. 

Bright colours, fun characters. 

Attention-grabbing, 

with a healthy amount of 

adult humour and nostalgic 

value for a former 

Pokemon Red aficionado. 

In theory, good for both 

of us. 

We managed to get there 

the perfect amount of late 

to watch only the better 

trailers. 

The start time also lined 

up with Vittoria’s lunchtime, 

which was great as 

she is food obsessed. It will 

give you angelic behaviour 

and blissful silence for as 

long as the food lasts. 

Vittoria happily sat, had 

her lunch and was watching 

so cheerfully that I 

started mentally planning 

regular daddy/daughter 

movie dates. 

That lasted until the dialogue 

turned to some fairly 

key story points. At that 

moment Vittoria got up, 

jumped off her back row 

seat and climbed through 


A PAIR OF 20-somethings 

are following in the 

footsteps of former Mayor

Tuesday Club. 

James Tapper, 26, and 

Kane Stewart are running 

the Monthly Pubcast 

at Smash Palace once a 

month as a forum to listen 

to keynote speakers and 

discuss issues effecting the 

city, specifically for young 

people. 

Mr Tapper, a said going 

to Tuesday Club, he noticed 

he was “by far” the youngest 

person in the room. 

“The majority of people 

there were probably 

campaigning in the 1981 

Springbok tour, so I wanted 

to get something going for 

younger people,” he said. 

Mr Stewart said he 

wanted to create a platform 

for young people to gather 

and get some culture back 

the seat in front. 

Now I’m trying to give 

Vittoria as much freedom 

to explore as possible but 

I’m lucky the theatre was 

pretty empty as she just 

booked it down the line of 

seats, ran down the stairs 

and explored. 

With offers of popcorn 

and other snacks, I 

managed to limit her laps 

around the theatre to the 

manageable and enjoy the 

whole film. 

It wasn’t until the climactic 

final battle scene that 

she turned it up to “oh no”. 

She went down the stairs, 

smiled at a family to gain 

their trust then snuck 

down the row behind their 

seats and pinched their entire 

popcorn box through

in the city. 

“Only older people are 

engaging and I thought: 

‘Where are the youth?’ We 

need to do something that 

gets the younger people 

involved,” he said. 

“Christchurch is going 

to be nice in the future but 

young people seem very 

isolated to me. There’s no 

platform to share ideas or 

share the vision,” he said. 

The next Monthly Pubcast 

meeting is on June 10 

with Michelle LaRue as the 

speaker, discussing climate 

change. 

“The idea is it’s a bit like 

15 

the seat. 

I retrieved it and gave it 

back to the family – who 

were very understanding, 

they had children too and 

I imagine most parents 

have been through snackthievery. 

All in all, an excellent 

outing. Ten out of ten, 

would do again.

and chat over a beer afterwards,” 

Mr Tapper said. 

He said a lot of young 

people were interested in 

social issues, in spite of stereotypes 

they didn’t care. 

“I play a lot of sport and I 

think people my age are really 

into this kind of thing.” 

Mr Moore said it was 

“terrific” to see younger 

people engaging. 

“They had 45 people on 

their first night. When we 

started, our first week, we 

had less than 20 people and 

that might be me being 

generous.”

Teen model’s passport to success 

• By Matt Slaughter 

WHEN BRIDIE Lancaster- 

Butcher was eight, her mother 

entered her in her first beauty 

pageant. 

The reason – to boost Bridie’s 

self-confidence. 

Now, the 13-year-old Avonside 

Girls’ High School student is one 

of 35 young models worldwide 

who have been selected to attend 

the Fashion Passport 2019 

modelling workshop on the 

Amalfi Coast in Italy. 

She is the only New Zealander 

who has been invited to the 

workshop, which will take place 

from June 25 until June 30. 

Bridie said getting this opportunity 

was a dream come true. 

“I always wanted to like, do 

something overseas and go quite 

far and stuff and then when I 

found out I was going to go do 

this I was really, really excited 

because it was kind of like, my 

dream.” 

Her mother was shocked for 

more reasons than one when she 

heard the news. 

Said Deb Lancaster: “I didn’t 

think she’d get in and I was just 

like, holy s***, she got in, how are 

we supposed to pay for this?” 

She said the workshop alone 

would cost more than $3000, 

but their fights were booked and 

she’d do just about anything to 

see her daughter succeed. 

Bridie said she was excited for 

the opportunity to work with 

fashion designers Adrianna 

Ostrowska Couture, Bel Ange 

ESTELLA Hungerford and Ava 

Henderson will represent New 

Zealand at the ISA world junior 

surfing championship later in 

the year. 

The Taylors Mistake pair have 

been named in the 12-strong 

New Zealand junior squad to 

travel to the championships. 

The location for the 

championships is expected to be 

named in the coming weeks. 

Estella is one of three surfers 

Couture and Disney Channel star 

Chelsea Kane during the workshop. 

Bridie moved to Kalgoorlie 

in Australia with her mum in 

2009 and built up quite the modelling 

resume before returning to 

Christchurch last year. 

She has appeared on the covers 

of A’ La Mode Child-Teen 

Magazine and Paris Chic Kids 

named in the NZ under-18 

girls team, while Ava is one 

of three girls in the under-16 

team. 

Last year, Estella was part of 

the New Zealand team which 

finished 12th in the 44-team 

competition at Huntington 

Beach, California. 

Meanwhile, Ava will make her 

first appearance at the event. 

Ava, 14, has burst onto the 

national scene following a 

Magazine and featured in a number 

of others. 

Off the back of her modelling 

success, Bridie has also chosen 

to raise awareness of the work 

Heart Foundation NZ do, because 

she said heart conditions 

had impacted those close to her. 

She said modelling was a huge 

part of her life, but she made sure 

standout summer which saw her 

win the under-16 girls category 

of the national Billabong Grom 

Series. 

She has competed well 

beyond her years, winning a 

number of nationally ranked 

under-18 and under-20 

competitions. 

Estella, 17, has also been in a 

recent rich vein of form which 

saw her win the South Island 

open title in April. 

to work just as hard at school. 

“I’m just at school like head 

down, bum up, just get all your 

work done, stay focused. Then, 

when modelling comes around, 

try and like, balance it out and 

put school first, but still put all 

your effort into modelling.” 

Bridie said her friends at school 

called her “the humble model.”

Bridie’s other hobbies included 

football, art, animals and swimming. 

She said she hoped the 

workshop later this month would 

open doors and help her achieve 

her ultimate goals. 

“I really want to maybe get into 

a film and do some commercials 

and maybe one day go to New 

York and do some runway.”

A well-being budget is just what New Zealand needs 

I HAVE BEEN looking forward 

to today when the world’s 

first well-being budget will be 

revealed. 

I recall as a Minister being 

frustrated when I couldn’t get 

buy-in from a colleague to invest 

in a programme even though 

the benefits would be realised 

in their portfolio – a classic case 

when we plan and budget in 

silos. 

I am hoping today that we 

will see a whole of Government 

approach that includes local

government when it comes to 

budgeting for well-being. 

I remember a former Youth 

Court judge saying: ‘A kid in 

sport, stays out of my court.’ 

When you start to think of a 

well-being budget without silos, 

then our city’s sports and 

recreation facilities, funded by 

our residents, can help to reduce 

expenditure by taxpayers in the 

criminal justice system. 

I heard on the news this week 

that there were insufficient 

funded medicines for type II 

diabetes, something which can 

be preventable with a balanced 

diet and good exercise. 

So again our sports and recreation 

facilities can not only save 

enormous costs on our health 

system, they can literally save 

lives. 

The prime minister said 

nobody wants to live in a country 

where, in spite of a strong 

economy, families are homeless, 

where our environment is being 

rapidly degraded and people

with mental health issues do not 

receive the support they need, 

and where we have shocking levels 

of family violence and child 

poverty. 

I’m hoping today that the 

Government recognises the 

opportunity to get rid of all the 

silos and co-invest with us to 

make a real difference.

NUTRITION’S ROLE 

IN MENTaL HEaLTH 

In recent decades, scientists discovered an 

uncomfortable truth: What we eat affects 

our mental health. 

Julia Rucklidge is a professor of 

Clinical Psychology in UC’s Psychology 

department and the Director of the 

Mental Health and Nutrition Research 

Group. Her interests in nutrition and 

mental illness grew out of research 

showing poor outcomes for individuals 

with significant psychiatric illness despite 

receiving conventional treatments for their 

conditions. 

In the last decade, Professor Rucklidge and 

her lab have been running clinical trials 

investigating the role of broad-spectrum 

micronutrients in 

the expression 

of mental 

illness, 

specifically ADHD, mood disorders, 

anxiety and stress. She is passionate about 

helping people find alternative treatments 

for their psychiatric symptoms and being 

a voice for those who have felt let down by 

the public healthcare system. 

Professor Rucklidge has over 100 peerreviewed 

publications, has given invited 

talks all over the world on her work on 

nutrition and mental health, and her 

work is often featured in the media. An 

award-winning researcher, she received 

the Ballin Award from the New Zealand 

Psychological Society, a Braveheart 

award for her contribution to making 

Christchurch a better place to live, and 

was named among the most influential 

women in New Zealand Innovation & 

Science in the Women of Influence 2018 

awards. Her 2014 TEDx talk has been 

viewed close to a million times.

6 TIPS 

TOWaRD MORE 

UNDERSTaNDINg 

Understanding is a key characteristic needed in all aspects of life. Here are six helpful 

reminders for better understanding. 

1. Bring empathy -- the skill of putting yourself in someone’s shoes - to all of your 

interactions 

2. Listen actively 

3. Look past first impressions 

4. Recognize that most people are self-centered, not cruel or mean-spirited 

5. Pay attention to body language to better understand a person’s mood and intentions 

6. Note that people, in general, do what is best for themselves

C ommunity inf luencer 

My passion is to teach people 

simple yoga techniques which they 

can then use as tools for their own 

mental health support and physical 

wellbeing. Originally from the 

UK, Helen transplanted to New 

Zealand four years ago. She is the 

owner of Yoga Live, an online yoga 

platform, which enables her clients 

to participate in a yoga class from 

the comfort of their own home. 

Helen’s philosophy is, “In order to 

understand ourselves and others 

well, it’s important that we calm our 

mind down using our bodies. When 

we can pause and listen to our 

thoughts with movement, we are 

able to see life clearly.” 

Try these 5 poses and stretches to 

bring calm into your mind and 

body. 

STaNDINg PRayER 

Come to stand with your feet 

together or slightly apart. Bring 

your hands together in-front of your 

chest. Gently lift your toes off the 

floor, spread them apart and pop 

them back down again. Take some 

time to focus on your breath and 

how it sounds and feels. Notice the 

pressure and warmth of your hands. 

Be aware of your feet as you use 

your muscles to balance. Stay here 

for 1 minute. 

CHILDS 

Come to all fours and open your 

knees wide, bring your big toes 

together and gently guide your chest 

and head to the floor as you reach 

your arms over your head onto the 

floor. Relax through your hips and 

belly and enjoy taking a few deep 

breaths. Stay here for 1 minute. 

PaLM TREE 

Come to stand with your feet under 

your hips. As you inhale reach your 

arms out and up over your head, 

at the same time coming up onto 

the balls of your feet. Hold the 

breath in at the top. On your exhale, 

draw your arms towards each 

other behind you, squeezing your 

shoulder blades together and lower 

your arms back to your side whilst 

lowering down onto your heels. 

Repeat 6 times. 

CaT/COW 

Come onto all fours, with your 

hands directly under your shoulders 

and knees under your hips. If you 

have any issues with your knees, pop 

a blanket underneath or curl your 

toes under. With an inhale, drop 

your belly to the floor whilst lifting 

your tailbone up to the ceiling and 

gazing forward. As you breathe out, 

curve your spine up to the ceiling 

and tuck your head into your chest. 

Push the floor away with your hands 

to open up. Repeat 6 times. 

SEaTED STRETCH 

Come to sit with your legs crossed 

and a cushion under your bum. 

Reach your arms out to the side and 

as you inhale reach your arms up 

and over your head. As you breathe 

out, lower your arms back down to 

your sides. Repeat 6 times.

Dementia is an umbrella term used to 

describe a group of symptoms that affect 

how a person’s brain works. 60,000 Kiwis 

have dementia & that number is expected to 

almost triple by 2050. 

While Dementia can affect anyone, the 

chances of developing dementia increase as a 

person ages. 

The most common form of dementia is 

Alzheimer’s disease with two out of three 

of those diagnosed with dementia having 

Alzheimer’s. 

Symptoms vary between individuals, but 

common ones include changes in memory, 

thinking, behaviour, personality and 

emotions which have an impact on a person’s 

everyday life. 

Dementia is progressive, with the changes 

that affect the brain slowly spreading and 

making symptoms worse. 

There has been no single cause linked with 

the onset of dementia however research 

released in 2014 in The World Alzheimer 

Report suggests that there are some simple 

steps people can take regarding their lifestyle 

in order to reduce the risk of dementia in 

later life. They recommend that: ‘what is good 

for the heart is also good for the brain’ and 

that any changes to lifestyle factors can have 

an impact, meaning it’s never too late to start 

making health improvements. 

Maintaining healthy weight, exercising 

moderately and regularly and eating a 

well- balanced diet will help prevent high 

cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes 

and obesity in the short term and in the long 

term reduce your dementia risk. Being a 

nonsmoker and consuming alcohol at safe 

levels can also help. 

Just 30 minutes a day, five days a week is all 

that’s needed to ward off a range of lifestyle 

diseases and conditions, and is the minimum 

level recommended to reduce dementia risk. 

When we think of exercise, we should also 

include mental activity as well as physical. By 

learning new skills and completing mentally 

challenging activities can help keep you alert. 

Social contact is one of the benefits of group 

exercise. Whether it’s walking with company, 

taking a class, or heading to an exercise 

facility or gym, getting amongst like-minded 

people while getting active is a fantastic way 

to keep social and healthy. 

If you are worried about someone you love 

displaying symptoms of dementia, or if you 

are experiencing these symptoms yourself, 

then an appointment with your GP is the first 

step, as an early diagnosis means treatment 

and management can begin. But don’t wait 

for the signs, start now by reducing your risks 

by getting active and making healthy lifestyle 

choices today.

collective contribution of the 1.2 million volunteers 

who enrich Aotearoa New Zealand. This year’s theme 

is “Whiria te tangata – weaving the people together”. 

Volunteering, Mahi Aroha and social action weave 

people and communities together. Volunteering is a 

powerful movement. When we volunteer our time, 

we send a message about what is important in our 

communities. This National Volunteer Week we 

celebrate the diversity of volunteers and volunteering, 

Mahi Aroha and social action in Aotearoa. We 

celebrate everyone who creates connections in

WEBBER 

MUSIC 

aT ITS fINEST 

When Showbiz Christchurch wrapped up the 

2018 season of Broadway Hitmen, they knew 

from audience feedback there was a great 

desire to hear more music from composer 

Andrew Lloyd Webber. 

The upcoming concert The Music of Andrew 

Lloyd Webber was devised by Lloyd Webber 

himself. 

Showbiz Christchurch is renowned for 

producing shows that could easily be at home 

on Broadway or the West End. The Music of 

Andrew Lloyd Webber is proving to be even 

more popular than recent Showbiz concerts, 

with the Grand Circle of the Isaac Theatre 

Royal recently opened for sale for those who 

weren’t quick enough to purchase tickets 

when they went on sale at the end of last year. 

Each musical vignette from The Phantom 

of the Opera, Cats, Whistle Down the 

Wind, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor 

Dreamcoat, Song and Dance, Evita, Jesus 

Christ Superstar and Starlight Express 

features between two and four songs 

performed by a full 33 piece on-stage 

orchestra – the CSO. They’ll be sharing 

the stage with 14 soloists from amongst 

Canterbury’s top performers – some wellknown 

to Christchurch audiences and some 

new talent. There will also be a 30 strong 

on-stage chorus, 21 ballet, Latin and musical 

theatre dancers, and a children’s chorus 

from Impact Dance and Stage School who 

will perform numbers from Joseph and the 

Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Whistle 

Down the Wind. 

“Some parts of the show will have 90 people 

on stage at one time,” says Stage Manager 

Mandy Perry who will be supported by a 

team of Assistant Stage Managers to help coordinate 

such a big cast. The set will feature 

a series of asymmetrical raised platforms for 

the orchestra designed by David Bosworth 

of 4th Wall Theatre Services, and a concave 

cyclorama which will provide a canvas for 

lighting designer Grant Robertson of The 

Light Site. “Everybody that’s working on the 

show is really going to get a chance to show 

off!” says Atlas “It will be gorgeous.”

PUZZle 

As lawyers, we are required to meet with you and take your 

instructions in order to help you complete the particular legal 

task you are planning. Sometimes when we do this, we need to 

take a little extra time to consider your mental capacity to make 

decisions. 

Mental capacity is a client’s capacity to make a decision. 

Decision making requires that a client: 

• understands the decision they are having to make 

• can discuss with us the possible options available to them in a 

way that shows they appreciate the risk and or benefit of those 

options 

• understands the impact that a decision, or the lack of a decision, 

may have on them or their loved ones 

• is able to articulate and discuss all of the above with us. 

It is important to note that the level of capacity required isn’t the 

same in every situation. For example, to make a Will, the legal 

test is whether the client knows they are making a Will and the 

effect of doing so, whether they understand the extent of the 

assets they are dealing with, whether they comprehend the moral 

claims which they ought to give effect to, and finally whether 

they are free of any disorders of the mind that could distort their 

decisionmaking. 

However, when giving instructions to complete Enduring Powers 

of Attorney, the test is lower and is satisfied if a client understands 

the broad consequences of granting an enduring power of 

attorney and can process the relevant information and appreciate 

the nature and effect of the power they are giving. 

Having these discussions with our clients is difficult. It can be 

very confronting, both for our clients and for us. In a worst case 

scenario, our clients can be very offended by us questioning their 

capacity. This is not our intention. Our intention is to ensure that 

the legal outcome our clients have set out to achieve, has the best 

possible opportunity to succeed. 

We are aware that if there is a likelihood that our client’s decision 

might be challenged, one of the first questions that may be raised 

is whether our client had the capacity required to make the 

decision in the first place. 

The best way of mitigating this risk is to 

undertake a capacity assessment prior 

to completing your legal work with 

your health professional. It is best that 

the assessment be scheduled as close as 

possible to the appointment to complete 

the legal work required. 

At Harmans we have a specialist seniors 

team to help you through the process of 

setting up your legal deeds and dealing 

with any queries you may have. Contact 

Phillipa Shaw on 352-2293 to arrange an 

appointment to discuss your situation.

Alan gilmore and Pamela Kilmartin with 1m telescope. 

Sprinkled in star dust, four University of 

Canterbury (UC) scientific alumni and staff have 

been honoured, featuring among six Kiwis chosen 

to appear on new ‘New Zealand Space Pioneers’ 

postage stamps. 

Professor Beatrice Tinsley and Sir William 

Pickering were, respectively, instrumental in 

modern astronomy theory, and in helping to 

launch the United States space programme. 

Astronomers Alan Gilmore and Pamela Kilmartin 

are still actively conducting research. All four 

space pioneers are considered leaders in their 

respective fields. 

aLaN gILMORE & PaMELa 

kILMaRTIN 

Long-serving staff members of UC Physics and 

Astronomy, Gilmore and Kilmartin have been 

observers at UC’s Mount John Observatory, 

Tekapo, since 1980. Fellows of the Royal 

Astronomical Society of New Zealand, they 

track Near Earth Objects such as asteroids and 

comets which may be a long-term threat to Earth. 

Together they have discovered 41 minor planets, a 

comet and a nova. 

They work with the country’s second-largest 

telescope, the one-metre McLellan reflector, 

which was built in UC’s workshops and installed 

at UC’s Mount John Observatory in 1986. 

BEaTRICE TINSLEy 

‘Queen of the Cosmos’ Beatrice Tinsley was one 

of the most creative and significant theoreticians 

in modern astronomy. She graduated from the 

University of Canterbury with an MSc in Physics 

with First Class Honours in 1961. She then 

completed her PhD on the evolution of galaxies at 

the University of Texas in just two years. 

After a one-year fellowship at the Lick 

Observatory of the University of California 

she took up an assistant professorship at Yale 

University, before becoming Yale’s first female 

Professor of Astronomy in 1978. That year she 

was diagnosed with melanoma. She continued to 

publish until shortly before her death in 1981. Her 

academic career spanned only 14 years, but she 

produced 114 scientific papers, had an academic 

prize and a visiting professorship in astronomy 

named in her honour. 

SIR WILLIaM PICkERINg 

Sir William Pickering was one of the world’s 

leading space scientists; a titan of the US space 

programme. He was a senior NASA luminary, 

who pioneered the exploration of space. 

Born in 1910 in Wellington, he developed an 

interest in stars at high school and studied 

engineering at UC before moving to the 

California Institute of Technology. After finishing 

his degree in electrical engineering and unable to 

find work in New Zealand, he returned to Caltech 

to complete a Master’s degree followed by a PhD 

in Physics in 1936. 

Made a professor in charge of radio and 

electronics, he was also appointed to the Scientific 

Advisory Board of the United States Air Force. 

During World War 2 he worked in their Jet 

Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). By 1954 he was the 

lab’s director where his scientific ability and sense 

of diplomacy enabled him to work with scientists, 

politicians and military officials. He remained 

there for 22 years. 

He had success with various unmanned 

spacecraft, appeared on the cover of Time 

magazine twice, and saw his work with Ranger 

VII spacecraft confirm the moon is not covered in 

dust. He retired from JPL in 1976 and kept close 

New Zealand ties. New Zealand awarded him an 

honorary knighthood, which would sit among 

personal messages from five US presidents. UC 

presented him with an honorary doctorate in 

2003, before his death in 2004.

WINS TOP US aWaRD 

A University of Canterbury engineer’s work on 

liquefaction-induced land damage following the 

Canterbury earthquakes has been awarded a 

prestigious international engineering award. 

When the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes created 

a city-wide outdoor research laboratory, UC 

Civil Engineering Professor Misko Cubrinovski 

gathered as much information as possible. 

His prolific output of technical reports and case 

histories has been recognised by the American 

Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), which is 

presenting him with the 2019 Ralph B. Peck Award 

for “outstanding contributions to the geotechnical 

engineering profession through the publication 

of several insightful field case histories”. He is 

only the second recipient from outside of North 

America to receive the ASCE Peck award in its 21- 

year history. 

Professor Cubrinovski’s career in geotechnical 

earthquake engineering began in the 1980s when 

he was involved in the seismic design of nuclear 

power plants in Europe, with soil liquefaction a 

principal concern. He then spent 15 years in Japan, 

from 1990, working with pioneering liquefaction 

researcher Professor Kenji Ishihara at the 

University of Tokyo. 

In 2005 Professor Cubrinovski moved to New 

Zealand and joined UC, little knowing that 

six years later he would be at the centre of an 

earthquake event that produced unparalleled 

soil liquefaction, which is when a material that is 

usually a solid behaves like a liquid. 

The ASCE award is the latest international 

recognition. Professor Cubrinovski was 

part of the teams whose research papers on 

liquefaction-induced land damage assessment 

in residential Christchurch won the 2016 

Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) 

Outstanding Paper Award in San Francisco, the 

2016 American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) 

Norman Medal (the society’s highest honour for a 

technical paper), the 2018 NZGS Geomechanics 

Lecture Award, Outstanding Paper Awards from 

ASCE and EERI, the Ivan Skinner Award, and 

ANZ Joint Societies Award. 

Professor Cubrinovski has authored or coauthored 

over 300 technical publications and 

worked as a geotechnical specialist and advisor on 

over 50 significant engineering projects. He is a 

faculty of the Rose School, Pavia, Italy and a Fellow 

of the University of Tokyo, Japan, as well as a 

Principal Investigator at QuakeCoRE | Te Hiranga 

Rū: The New Zealand Centre of Earthquake 

Resilience, based at UC, leading the flagship 

research programme ‘Liquefaction impacts on 

land and infrastructure’.

THE VITaRa 

TURNS 30 

BY ross KiDDie

living 

life 

Motoring 

I have to keep reminding myself, the Suzuki Vitara 

has nothing in common with its stablemate, the 

Grand Vitara, other than the name. 

The most notable reason for this is the Vitara 

doesn’t sit on a ladder chassis, it has a monocoque 

platform and, in contrast, it has an engine that sits 

east-west in the engine bay. 

Of course, that makes it a lot softer than the goanywhere 

Grand, its four-wheel-drive system will 

take you places seriously off-road. 

However, the Vitara does have four-wheel-drive 

on some variants, but mostly it is a vehicle which is 

based around two-wheel-drive (front) mechanicals. 

For 2019, the Vitara has just undergone a fairly 

healthy facelift, it includes a raft of new equipment, 

mostly for safety, but there is also new frontal 

treatment and a host of cosmetic upgrades inside. 

The Vitara has never been short on safety kit, it 

has always had a five-star Australasian New Car 

Assessment Program rating, but the new inclusions 

keep it well in touch with what buyers expect in a 

new car purchase. 

The Vitara lands here in five variants, starting 

from $27,990 and ending at $38,790. The range is 

interesting, buyers have the choice of two fourcylinder 

petrol engines, a naturally-aspirated 

1.6-litre or a 1.4-litre turbocharged unit. The 

1.6 offers the choice of manual or automatic 

transmission, the turbo engine is automatic and, as 

I’ve mentioned, two and four-wheel-drive options 

sit along the way. 

The evaluation car was the range-topping All-Grip 

turbocharged model, and with two-tone paint adds 

$800. 

Under the bonnet, the 1373cc engine is rated with 

strong power outputs for its size. Suzuki claim 

outputs of 103kW and 220Nm, both realised low in 

the rev band at 5500rpm for power with a long flat 

torque curve stretching from 1500rpm to 4000rpm. 

That’s the secret to its performance, the engine feels 

strong right through the rev band, it is eager and 

drives smoothly through a six-speed conventional 

transmission. 

Performance is surprisingly swift, the turbo 

Vitara will lunge to 100km/h in 9sec. However, 

what Suzuki does best is fuel economy relative 

to performance. It claims a 6.2-litre per 100km 

(46mpg) combined cycle average, which is pretty 

tidy when you consider the turbo boost, although it 

must be considered, unlike the naturally aspirated 

unit, the turbo engine needs 95 to 98 octane. 

The Vitara steers keenly into a corner and has 

definite directional accuracy. This from a sport 

utility vehicle which is firmly aimed at the family 

transport market. The suspension is biased towards 

the soft side, but there’s just enough firming in the 

springs and dampers to arrest body roll in a corner 

and absorb rough surface undulations. Bear in 

mind, too, there are drive modes which enhance 

grip depending on the surface encountered – auto, 

snow, sport and diff lock. 

The Vitara’s all-round performance is 

commendable, the turbo engine adds an element of 

fun for the driver; along with the benefits of strong 

mid-range boost it is a safe, quick vehicle when 

overtakes present themselves. 

Mostly, though, the Vitara is there as a comfortable 

five-seater for those who like what mid-size SUVs 

offer. While rear seat occupants don’t have a huge 

amount of leg room, space back there is acceptable, 

and the bonus is there’s a healthy 375-litres of cargo 

space behind the rear seats. With those folded 

forward up to 710-litres can be carried inside. 

For 30 years Vitara, in its many forms, has been a 

solid seller for Suzuki. If you look at the number 

which grace our roads, NZ-new and imports, 

suggests it is a force to be reckoned with. 

If you don’t need the capability of the Grand, then 

the Vitara is still a worthwhile purchase. As much 

as I like the fun element the turbo model offers, 

I’d be a manual entry-level buyer At $28k it is a 

bargain offering, and with all Suzuki models it will 

have longevity on its side, the result of the quality 

the company builds into all of its models.

LEMON DRIZZLE SLICES 

Ingredients 

BRAISED LAMB SHANKS 

Ingredients 

2 Tbsp olive oil 

8 lamb shanks 

1 onion, roughly chopped 

2 carrots, roughly chopped 

few sprigs fresh rosemary 

3 fresh bay leaves 

4 garlic cloves, left whole 

2 Tbsp plain flour 

1 Tbsp tomato purée 

350ml white wine 

500ml lamb or chicken stock 

Directions 

Heat oven to 180 deg C. Pour 

the oil in a casserole dish or 

roasting tray large enough to 

fit all the shanks. With the pan 

set over a high heat on the hob, 

spend a good 10min browning 

the lamb all over. 

Remove the lamb, add the 

onion and carrot and cook for 

10min until starting to brown. 

Stir in the herbs and garlic and 

cook for a few minutes more. Stir 

in the flour and tomato purée, 

season well then pour over the 

wine and stock. 

Return the lamb shanks to the 

pan. Bring to a simmer, cover 

with a lid or tightly with foil and 

cook in the oven, undisturbed, 

for about two hours until lamb 

is tender. Remove the lamb from 

the sauce and set aside. 

Put pan back on the hob and 

bubble the sauce down for about 

15min until rich and glossy. Pass 

through a sieve into a jug. The 

lamb and sauce can be stored in 

the fridge for two days or frozen 

for one month. To serve, reheat 

the lamb in the sauce, adding a 

splash of water if the sauce is too 

thick. 

For the cake 

70g softened unsalted butter 

120g caster sugar 

2 medium eggs 

140g self-raising flour 

1 tsp baking powder 

Finely grated zest one lemon 

1 Tbsp lemon curd 

2 Tbsp full-fat milk 

For the drizzle topping 

30g granulated sugar 

Juice one lemon 

For the feather icing 

250g icing sugar 

3 tbsp water 

Splash of yellow food colouring 

Directions 

Heat oven to 180 deg C. Line 

a 20 x 20cm baking tin with 

baking parchment. 

Using an electric whisk, beat 

the butter and sugar together 

until pale, light and fluffy. Add 

the eggs and mix again. Add 

the flour, baking powder, lemon 

zest, lemon curd and milk, 

and mix with a wooden spoon 

until all the ingredients are 

thoroughly combined. Pour the 

mixture into the prepared tin 

and bake for 25-30min or until a 

skewer comes out clean. Mix the 

sugar and lemon juice together 

and pour over the hot cake. 

Leave to cool in the tin. You can 

eat the cake as it is, or for a fancy 

finish, try making this feather 

icing. 

Mix the icing sugar with just 

enough water to give a runny, 

but not watery, icing. Put a small 

amount of icing in a separate 

bowl. Add a few drops of the 

food colouring to the icing 

until pale yellow. Spoon into a 

disposable icing bag. Remove 

the cake from the tin and 

peel off the baking parchment. 

Sit the cake on a wire rack 

over a baking tray. 

Spread the white icing over 

the top. Pipe thin lines of the 

coloured icing across the width 

of the cake. Use a cocktail stick 

to drag through the lines in 

opposite directions to create a 

feathered effect. 

Leave to set before cutting into 

slices.

GARDENING ADVICE 

Today’s winning question 

came from Lucy McCall. 

Congratulations! 

My question is about roses 

Q this time of year. Mine 

have a bit of rust, so I 

have lightly trimmed 

the bushes as they are so 

unsightly. Does that matter so 

close to winter? What is 

the best time to prune in 

Christchurch? 

A 

Wait until your rose bushes are completely 

dormant e.g when all the leaves have fallen 

from the plant before carrying out the annual 

pruning. If you prune before the plants have 

become dormant there is always the chance 

of new growth appearing soon after the pruning is 

completed. This growth will come to nothing e.g. no 

flowers when winter sets in. 

While rust and black spot can be disconcerting on the 

leaves of your roses, it’s preferable not to lightly prune 

your plants at this time. Remember to collect all fallen 

rose leaves and remove from the rose garden to lessen 

the possibility of reinfection next spring. 

A cleanup spray of copper oxychloride and or 

lime sulphur applied after winter pruning will 

help reduce the impact of any overwintering 

black spot and rust.

Bring life to your winter garden 

CONTRAST: Sweet peas 

should now be in full bloom. 

WHILE THE beginning of 

winter can be wet, cold and 

miserable, there are still many 

important tasks to be carried 

out in the garden, such as 

harvesting winter vegetables, 

completing annual pruning, 

planting new fruit trees and 

watching newly-planted 

strawberries break into 

growth. 

Winter vegetables should 

now start maturing and will 

be ready for harvesting (if 

they aren’t already). 

Results will be that much 

more improved where vegetable 

gardens have been raised 

to avoid waterlogging over the 

wet winter months. Continue 

distributing compost around 

vegetables to help absorb excess 

water from typical winter 

downfalls. 

Vegetables to harvest 

include broccoli, brussels 

sprouts, cabbage, carrots, 

cauliflower, celery, leeks, lettuce, 

parsnips, silverbeet and 

spinach. 

Continue sowing seeds of 

broad beans, onions, peas, 

radish and spinach directly 

into well prepared and 

drained soil. 

Old crowns of rhubarbs can 

be divided and replanted into 

permanent positions around 

600mm apart. Rhubarb thrives 

in rich soil so add plenty of 

compost when planting 

Winter displays of annuals 

should now be in full 

bloom, including alyssum, 

calendulas, lobelia, nemesias, 

pansies, poppies, primulas, 

snapdragons, stock and sweet 

peas. 

All these flowering annuals 

can also be successfully grown 

in containers or large tubs and 

brings life to dull parts of the 

garden or decks during winter 

months.

MAZDA 3 HATCH: Polymetal grey is a new colour to complement the range. 

New Mazda 3 sedan and 

hatchback launched 

THE SEVENTHgeneration 

Mazda 3 will 

launch in New Zealand 

next week in two body 

styles – sedan and 

hatchback. 

It also offers buyers the 

choice of two engine options 

and three grade variants 

in both body styles. 

Based on a less-is-more 

design philosophy, both 

body styles offer two very 

distinct personalities. 

Mazda New Zealand 

managing director David 

Hodge says he was stunned 

by the look and feel of both 

when he first saw the vehicles 

and expects a similar 

reaction from the New 

Zealand motoring public. 

“There has been a move 

towards SUVs due to 

rational factors such as 

cargo capacity and higher 

ride points, but the Mazda 

design team deliberately 

steered away from trying to 

appeal to those who have 

adopted SUVs. 

“Instead, they stayed 

true to the factors such as 

design and driving dynamics 

that have made the 

Mazda3 such a popular 

vehicle in New Zealand and 

delivered them in a way 

never seen before in this 

segment of the market,’’ he 

said. 

To enhance the premium 

look and feel of the 

cabin, higher-grade materials 

that offer better tactile 

and visual qualities have 

been used. 

The seats have been designed 

to support the body 

so that the occupant’s core 

Motoring 

Ross Kiddie 

remains stable throughout 

the driving experience. The 

front seats firmly support 

the pelvis and maintain the 

natural S-shaped curve of 

the spine. The seat cushion 

and lower seatback provide 

the support needed to keep 

the pelvis in an upright 

position and the upper 

seatback bolsters the gravity 

centre of the rib cage. 

The Mazda3 has also 

been designed to eliminate 

noise, vibration and harshness. 

New technologies and 

build techniques ensure 

unwanted sound doesn’t 

enter the cabin. 

Under the bonnet the 

2-litre engine is rated with 

a 114kW power output and 

has a claimed combined 

cycle average fuel consumption 

figure of 6.2-litre per 

100km. 

The 2.5-litre engine has 

139kW and a 6.6l/100km 

fuel usage figure. This 

engine has a cylinder 

deactivation system which 

switches between two and 

four-cylinder operation to 

increase fuel efficiency 

The media launch of the 

new Mazda 3 was held on 

roads in North Canterbury 

in hatchback models. 

Initial driving impressions 

were those of competence 

and surety. 

In a departure from a 

traditional independent

rear suspension, the new 

Mazda3 has a totally new 

torsion beam set-up with 

an emphasis on ride quality 

without jeopardising handling 

performance. 

Along with the new suspension, 

Mazda engineers 

and three tyre companies 

have developed special tyre 

compounds for the new 

model, the construction 

of the tyre is designed for 

maximum sidewall flex, 

providing comfort, without 

jeopardisng tread contact 

with the road surface. 

That along with revised 

spring and damper rates 

help produce a controlled 

but supple ride. Both the 

2-litre and 2.5-litre variants 

showed they had ample 

power and willing engine 

behaviour. 

All Mazda 3 models have 

a five-star Australasian New 

Car Assessment Program 

safety rating. 

The model line-up has 

changed to reflect the high 

level of craftsmanship, refinement 

and specifications. 

As a result, the range starts 

with a GSX model priced at 

$36,595 and two grades – 

GTX and Takami have also 

been added to complement 

the model line-up. 

The Mazdacare maintenance 

programme has also 

been enriched with the 

launch of the new model. 

Every Mazda3 will include 

a five-year unlimited kilometre

Senio ensures players have a voice 

• By Gordon Findlater 

KEVIN SENIO has gone from 

being the voice behind the 

Crusaders forward pack to a 

voice for the latest generation of 

players. 

Senio played 25 games at 

halfback for the Crusaders 

between 2006 and 2007, scoring 

two tries. He has now returned 

to his roots in Auckland and 

works as a player services 

manager for the New Zealand 

Rugby Players’ Association. 

The role involves helping 

players have their say on issues 

such as the structure of the Mitre 

10 Cup and Super Rugby. 

“New Zealand rugby have 

their consultation processes 

and then the players through 

our body have those discussions 

and give feedback around 

what the future looks like in 

an employment environment, 

how the competition looks 

and through to any types of 

initiatives which are good for the 

game,” said Senio. 

He grew up playing league 

in Auckland before moving to 

union at the age of 12. He played 

his secondary school rugby at 

Liston College in Henderson 

before joining Kelston Boys’ 

High School where he earned a 

spot in the New Zealand Schools 

team. 

After school, he played club 

rugby for Ponsonby and was 

part of the New Zealand Colts in 

1998 and 1999. 

He had seasons with Auckland 

and Counties Manukau. 

However, he moved to Bay of 

Plenty in 2003 to get extra game 

time. In 2004, he achieved one 

of the greatest moments in his 

career, helping the Steamers win 

the Ranfurly Shield for the first 

time when they upset Auckland 

33-28. 

After making seven 

appearances for the Chiefs in 

2005, the Crusaders came calling 

as they sought a replacement 

MANY SPORT nuts who like to 

think of themselves as somewhat 

of an expert when it comes to 

predicting a result will have 

inevitably dreamt up the idea of 

betting on sport for a living. 

This is also commonly known 

as having a gambling problem, 

and to most folk seems like an 

unrealistic dream as soon as you 

realise the easy results to predict 

offer bugger-all due to the fact 

most bookies, such as the TAB, 

have their own experts who are 

probably smarter than you and I. 

However, what if the bookies 

didn’t know their stuff? What 

if you could bet on the local 

reserve rugby team, which the 

TAB haven’t put the time or 

resources into researching and 

the odds were in your favour? 

This is a reality for anyone who 

considers themselves a club level 

football expert in Christchurch. 

Half-price tickets 

Some Crusaders fans will 

only have to pay half-price 

for tickets to the Rebels 

game at Christchurch 

Stadium on June 8. The 

offer applies to everyone 

who attended a Crusaders 

home game this year. 

These fans will receive 

an email and text with 

a promotional code to 

receive the discount. 

for Justin Marshall. He quickly 

made a decision to join the 

Crusaders – a side with which 

Senio knew he could achieve 

success. 

“History speaks for itself in 

terms of their success and I was 

really curious to experience 

something new and progress 

myself as a player,” said Senio. 

He admits he was initially 

overwhelmed by the 

expectations which came with 

filling Marshall‘s boots. 

Bet365 – an online betting 

company, based in the United 

Kingdom – offers betting on 

the Mainland Premier League, 

Canterbury Championship 

League and even the Mainland 

Premier League reserve league. 

You can also bet on the Women’s 

Premier League and Canterbury 

Women’s Championship League. 

The ability to be able to bet on 

a local amateur sport as deep as 

the third-tier surely comes with 

some question marks. It’s worth 

noting the majority of players 

in the MPL reserve league are 

“There was definitely an 

internal pressure I put on myself 

and that was a bit of a dilemma 

for a while . . . probably halfway 

through the campaign, I became 

more settled and comfortable in 

my own skin,” said Senio. 

During his time at the 

Crusaders, Senio battled for 

playing time with a young Andy 

Ellis. However, he says the battle 

for minutes on the field only saw 

the pair grow closer off the field. 

“I’ve got a really good 

relationship with Andy. Even 

today he’s just witty, quick and 

always playing jokes and pranks 

on everyone else,” said Senio. 

“That first time together away 

was awkward because you’re 

both competing for the same 

position, but you suss each other 

out and then just have a bit of a 

giggle about it and get over it.” 

Senio started at halfback for 

the Crusaders in their 19-12 win 

over the Hurricanes in the 2006 

Super Rugby final. He played

on this later). 

The best money to be made

season. Anyone who follows 

football here would know 

Christchurch United were 

expected to brush aside their 

opposition in the CCL after 

luring a large number of MPL 

and national league players in 

the off-season. This premonition 

proved correct. Christchurch

as many games and have scored

DJ Forbes (far

initiative with

MOVING SOUTH: 

Kevin Senio played 

for the Crusaders 

between 2006 and 

2007. 

11 games in the 2007 season 

before moving to France to join 

Castres Olympique. Although 

he eventually adjusted to the 

language and the culture, he 

admits it was a shock to the 

system at first. 

“There was a lot of head 

nodding and even making 

animal noises and gestures to 

try and figure out what you’re 

eating,” he said. 

“In terms of what we 

understand, leadership and how 

you contribute to a successful 

environment was flipped upside 

down on its head, especially at 

Castres. We would have changed 

coaching staff three times in that 

first year . . . it was definitely a 

cut-throat system,” said Senio. 

“If we played well, then we 

would go out for a beer later, 

but if we didn’t we would stay 

at home because we were too 

worried about being picked apart 

by the locals – that’s just the way 

it is.” 

In 2009 Senio joined ASM 

38 goals and conceded just two 

goals. 

However, in week one the UK 

bookies kindly offered up more 

than $2 for Christchurch to 

defeat Parklands United, which 

they did 4-0. 

Newly-promoted MPL team 

Western United – which are 

currently third in the league – 

were reportedly given long odds 

in the early part of their season 

against teams they could have 

easily been predicted to beat after 

some solid recruiting in the offseason. 

There was also the case of 

regular powerhouse Ferrymead 

Bays having half their squad 

raided in the off-season and 

being at extremely kind odds to 

drop points early in the year. 

The other thing that must be 

considered if betting on our 

amateur football leagues is that, 

unlike the English Premier 

Clermont Auvergne and helped 

them win their first Top 14 title 

in 2010. He played a number 

of seasons for the club before 

returning to New Zealand in 

2014 where he has since worked 

for the NZRPA. 

Senio played a handful of 

matches for the Ponsonby 

premier side after coming 

home with the likes of Rieko 

Ioane, Akira Iaone and Michael 

Fatialofa, who were coming 

through the Blues system at the 

time. He is now an assistant 

coach with the premier side. 

“I love the community 

engagement. I love there’s no 

pressure on these young guys, 

it’s just a safe place for them to 

come and learn their trade,” he 

said. 

Outside of his work and 

coaching commitments, Senio 

enjoys time with his wife 

Anna, a former Silver Ferns 

squad member, and their four 

daughters aged between five and 

16. 

How to have a punt on the football and win 

League or Super Rugby, it’s not 

just injuries and form which 

affect the odds. 

We’re talking about a level 

of sport where a wedding or a 

player’s 21st birthday on a Friday 

night can have a massive impact 

on a team’s performance on 

Saturday. I also doubt whether 

the news of a reserve team’s 

injury crisis will travel as far as 

the UK bookies. 

From what I understand those 

in the know have been making 

the most of these uneducated 

odds – even to the point of 

parents creating accounts for 

their 16 and 17-year-old sons 

who are young experts on the 

local scene. 

If you had a Bet365 account at 

the start of the football season, 

kudos to you. If you don’t, sign 

up – there’s never been a better 

time to be a local football nut.

THE SOUTH Island 

secondary school 

equivalent of the Ranfurly 

Shield possibly had its 

shortest ever tenure after 

St Andrew’s College held 

the Trust Bank Cup for less 

than 48 hours. 

On Saturday, St Andrew’s 

defeated St Thomas of 

Canterbury College 26-14 

to claim the cup for the 

first time. Then on Monday, 

they were unsuccessful in 


NEW BRIGHTON have 

turned around their rough 

start to the season by 

claiming the DCL shield 

and now throwing their 

hat in the ring for a late top 

six push. 

On Saturday, New 

Brighton defeated Marist 

Albion 24-17 to win the 

DCL 

Shield, 

which is 

played 

for in a 

challenge 

format 

during 

each round 

of the 

premier 

metro competition. 

The win moved New 

Brighton to just one point 

outside the top six, two 

weeks after they found 

themselves nine points 

behind the sixth-placed 

team. 

“An attitude change had 

to happen . . . they’ve really 

started to hit their straps 

and the effort has really 

lifted,” said New Brighton 

coach Scott Pawson. 

New Brighton are on 23 

points in eighth position. 

However, with Shirley (26), 

their first defence against 

Dunedin’s John McGlashan 

College – losing 26-27. 

The unsuccessful defence 

brought an end to one of 

the shortest periods of time 

any school has held the cup. 

Following their win 

on Saturday, St Andrew’s 

travelled to Dunedin by bus 

on Sunday. Still recovering 

from a bruising encounter 

with St Thomas’, they were 

pipped by John McGlashan, 

which scored a try with 

5min remaining to secure 

Linwood (24), Sydenham 

(24) and Burnside (22) all 

within striking distance, 

each team almost has their 

top six hopes in their own 

hands with just two rounds 

left in the first phase of the 

competition. 

Following the first phase, 

the 12 teams will be split 

into a bottom and top six. 

On Saturday, New 

Brighton will travel to 

Sumner for the battle of 

the beaches. 

Sumner are lingering in 

10th spot. However, they 

have won three of their last 

four games and Pawson is 

the cup. The Trust Bank 

Cup started the season 

at Christchurch Boys’ 

High School before being 

claimed by St Thomas’ for 

the first time a week prior 

to their loss to St Andrew’s. 

Last week The Star 

reported St Thomas’ win 

over CBHS was their first 

in history. However, a 

number of old boys have 

pointed out they were part 

of the first St Thomas’ team 

to defeat the CBHS first XV 

16-13 in 1986.

expecting a difficult match 

at St Leonards Square in 

front of a strong Sumner 

crowd, which he describes 

as being “worth an extra 10 

points.” 

Meanwhile, the battle 

for the first phase Hawkins 

Cup is even more equally 

poised with Christchurch 

and defending champions 

Lincoln University locked 

on 33 points. 

With both sides knowing 

a slip up could put them 

out of the cup race, bonus 

points or even points 

differential could be the 

decider.

Hornets trying to rebuild after hefty loss 


THE HALSWELL Hornets have 

been a proud rugby league club 

since gaining premier status 

in 1979 and going onto win 10 

Canterbury Rugby League titles. 

However, the club hit a new 

low at the weekend when they 

were defeated 0-86 by rivals the 

Hornby Panthers. 

The Hornets won their last Pat 

Smith Trophy in 2014 when they 

defeated the Celebration Lions 

28-24. However, since then they 

have made the top-four just 

once and finished bottom of the 

ladder on two occasions.

Following the 

2014 title winning 

campaign former 

coach Darrell Coad 

and team manager 

Craig Sullivan 

resigned from their 

roles with the club. 

The Hornets were then 

faced with about 20 

players seeking exodus 

from the club. 

“We’ve been 

rebuilding since then and have 

never really recovered,” said 

Hornets president Ross Paniora. 

Canterbury Rugby League has 

a player transfer 

rule, which allows 

each club to have a 

maximum of three 

players transfer 

away and three 

players transfer into 

another Canterbury 

club each year. 

However, it’s 

understood the 

Hornets allowed 

about 20 players to 

transfer away from the club due 

to the concern they would leave 

league all together if they were 

not allowed to transfer to other

has been more heavily policed 

by Canterbury Rugby League 

since 2015. 

After seven rounds of 

this year’s competition the 

Hornets are yet to win a game 

and have a plus minus of -192 

points. 

While Mr Paniora says the 

club is not where it wants to be, 

he is confident the club can once 

again be a force to be reckoned 

with in the future. 

“Although we’re struggling at 

the moment we’ve got a great 

group of coaches and players 


SHUN MIYAKE could be 

representing Japan at under-20 

level this year. Instead he has 

turned his attention to his final 

year in the Christ’s College 

first XV. 

Earlier in the year Miyake 

attended a Japan under-20 camp. 

From that he was asked to play in 

the Japan under-20 side and also 

the Japan A team. However, he 

turned down the opportunity to 

concentrate on his final year of 

rugby at Christ’s. 

“I’m still only 17, so I have a few 

more years of being able to play 

under-20s . . . I talked to coaches 

and some people said you should 

go, but most people said it’s a bit 

risky, and I don’t want to get an 

injury,” said Miyake. 

The under-20 programme 

would have seen Miyake represent 

Japan at the Oceania rugby 

under-20 championship in Australia 

last month and then at the 

World Rugby Under-20 Trophy 

in Brazil in July. 

The decision to not play a game 

for the Japan A team was made 

due to it having an eligibility 

effect on his dream to one day

middle of the 1980s, meeting in 

four grand-finals during that 

period. 

The clubs met in another four 

grand-finals during the 1990s. 

The sides last met in two backto-back 

grand-finals in 2012 and 

2013, which were both won in 

extra-time by the Panthers. 

playing for the All Blacks. 

Today the 17-year-old first-five 

will enter his third straight college 

match against Christchurch 

Boys’ High School as his side look 

to avenge a loss to their rivals in 

last year’s grudge match and a 

draw in the UC Championship 

final which saw CBHS crowned 

champions due to scoring more 

tries in the match. Both Christ’s 

and CBHS have experienced 

mixed form coming into today’s 

match. After a bright start to the 

year, Christ’s were held to a 22-22 

draw with Lincoln Combined, 

while CBHS were upset 12-40 by 

St Thomas’ earlier this month. 

“We were a bit upset and frustrated, 

but we had training on 

Monday and the boys were fizzing 

for this week’s game. We just 

want to move on,” said Miyake. 

This year’s college match will 

have extra meaning for Miyake – 

both of his parents have travelled 

from Japan to watch the game. 

The first college match was 

played in 1892, when Christ’s 

won 34-0. 

Since then CBHS have won 91 

times compared to Christ’s 44, 

while nine matches have ended 

in draws.

AffordAble cAbin housing 

- only a phone call away 

Do you have space on your property where 

you can place a cabin to provide extra rental 

income for your family? Or do you want more 

space for your family and friends to be able to 

come and visit? 

Maybe your children are getting older, and an 

outside cabin would provide extra space for 

your teenager or uni student and still have 

them close to home. Just Cabins can provide 

the solution. 

Have you been thinking of working from home 

or starting a home business? A rental cabin is 

your answer. 

Call Just Cabins today and speak with Alex, 

who owns the Christchurch North location and 

North Canterbury (all the way to Kaikoura) 

or Craig who operates the Christchurch South 

/ Selwyn and Ashburton franchise. They 

will answer all your questions and explain 

in detail how affordable, economical and 

homey a cabin can be. 

One of the benefits of having local franchisee 

owners is that you’re working with one of 

your own neighbours, who are members of 

the community.They know and understand 

the needs of Cantabrians and you can feel 

comfortable knowing that Just Cabins is 100% 

New Zealand owned. 

Choose from one of their 3 rental cabin options 

– Standard, Large or Extra Large. 

All cabins are sturdy, solid and of the highest 

quality construction which easily handles 

everyday wear and tear, so you can feel 

confident with your cabin addition. 

The cabins are fully insulated, double glazed 

and secure plus they come with two double 

power points and a smoke alarm making them 

versatile and functional. 

Alex and Craig have a wealth of experience so 

can guarantee you a hassle-free installation. 

They are always happy to do a pre-installation 

site visit to determine optimum outcomes. 

Just Cabins is an Award-winning Business 

with recognition from the National Franchise 

Awards in customer service and for the services 

division. They have won this award 6 years and 

counting, which gives you an assurance that 

you are dealing with professionals, who have 

experience and know how. 

Just Cabins is long standing and their 

experience and expertise have made them a 

business leader and New Zealand’s premier 

expert cabin rental company. 

Browse through the cabin specs on their 

website or stop by their displays at either 470 

Cranford Street or the corner of Barbadoes and 

Tuam Streets. They offer cabin rentals for either 

long or short terms, so call them today.

your needs. Apply directly online or call and talk 

to Alex or Craig on 0800 58 78 22.

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand 

has b en a proached in a bid to 

fina ly repair the potholes in New 

Brighton’s Hawke St car park. 

Coastal-Burw od Ward city 

counci lor David East wants 

WorkSafe to pre sure the car 

park’s private owners into 

repairing the potholes which are 

a “trip and vehicle” hazard. 

WorkSafe chief inspector 

a se sment southern Da ren 

Handforth said it may be able to 

take action under the Health and 

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a 

person conducting a busine s or 

undertaking.” 

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe 

is aware of the concerns raised by 

Cr East abou the car park. 

“WorkSafe has completed 

an a se sment visi to the site 

and is engaging with the owner 

to advise them that it is their 

responsibility to manage their 

risks a propriately.” 

Different parts of the car park 

are owned by various people 

and the Coastal-Burw od 

Community Board recently 

wrote to them about its concerns 

around health and safety. 

Cr East said the bi gest i sue 

in the past has b en ge ting in 

touch with the landlords and 

owners and ge ting them to 

agr e to anything. “The board 

a preciates that multi-ownership 

of the parking space may present 

a difficulty in co-ordinating 

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged 

to pa s these concerns onto you,” 

said the le ter. 

One reply has b en received so 

far from an owner who is wi ling 

to discu s the i sue. However, a l 

the owners would have to agr e 

to undertake work. 

Cr East said there had b en 

a “number of incidences” in 

the car park of people injuring 

themselves which had gone 

unreported. 

“I’ve always though that it 

has b en quite amazing that we 

haven’t had any serious a cidents 

or senior citizens perhaps 

tri ping in those potholes and 

doing themselve some damage.” 

He is confiden the new 

a proach wi l bring results. 

“I think the WorkSafe 

involvement may prove to be the 

lever that we are l oking for.” 

New bid to fix potholes 

Action looms

car park

THE PAPANUI-I nes 

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition 

to figh the city council over 

funding. 

Signatures are being co lected 

in a bid to get funding for a community 

facility in Shirley. 

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre 

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the 

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This 

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. 

The removal o funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stand down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act 

as advocate for the interests of its 

community and this is what we 

are doing. The LTP and a nual 

plans are a l about lo bying the 

council.”

Cave Rock 

Apartments’ 

owners 

expect EQC 

sign-off 

this week 

• By Sarla Donovan 

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave 

Rock Apartments ar expecting the 

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek. 

Body corporate chairman Mike 

White said the group had gone 

into mediation with IAG and EQC 

on February 20, and signed off 

on a deal with IAG on February 

2 – coincidenta ly seven years 

to the day after the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. However, they 

are waiting for EQC to sign the 

agr ement. 

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted 

the agr ement, there’ l be no 

problem with them doing that.” 

The apartment suffered damage 

in the February and June, 20 1, 

earthquakes and were demolished in 

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the 

difference betw en indemnity value, 

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured, 

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body 

corporate. 

The mediation agr ement 

prevented Mr White from disclosing 

the se tlement amount, but he said it 

involved the two parties paying “a bit 

more money than they’d wanted to 

earlier.”

international competition. 

New World Fe ry Rd butcher 

Jeremy Garth and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently 

came second a the World 

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern 

Ireland. 

It was the firs time Mr Garth 

had competed in the cha lenge 

and he was “rea ly proud” of 

how the team performed. 

“We produced some top quality 

products and came away 

with a g od result so we’re very 

ha py,” he said. 

The preparation for this year’s 

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was 

intense as the team members 

met in Auckland every two 

months for lengthy w ekend 

practices. 

Mr Garth, who has b en a 

butcher for 14 years, said the 

competition brought back his 

pa sion for the job. 

“Doing a l thi stuff and 

m eting new people, s eing new 

ideas, it just brings that flair 

back for you,” he said. 

Mr Garth hopes to own a 

butcher shop of his own someday 

but says for now he wi l focus 

on ge ting mor experience 

and on the 2020 cha lenge. 

“In two years’ time, we’ l be 

going back to try and win the 

title,” he said.

The district council wi l be

A hearing i scheduled to be

The bylaw comes as an increasing

In the past year, the district

about se ting up a mobile busine s

Pupils learn about role of war horses

The New Zealand Mounted 

Rifles Charitable Trust president 

Mark A pleton and member

World War 1 and World War 2. 

Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson

their horses Tommy and Kruze 

wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated 

to the trust. 

The presentation is a prelude 

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve 

Management Commi t e’s 

upcoming Anzac Day service. 

As a tribute to those who 

served, members of the trust wi l 

ride horseback to the service. 

Mr A pleton said it was 

important children were 

educated on what soldiers 

wen through during World 

War 1 and World War 2. 

But he said the presentation 

didn’t go into t o much detail 

and was more of a “show and

the soldiers l oked like. 

Children were shown the type 

of kits horses were required to 

wear in the war.

AN U PER Ri carton butcher 

has proven himself to be a cut 

above his Au sie rivals at an 


Elite Meats owner Corey

star team a the World Butchers’ 

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland. 

Mr Winder and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which 

includes W olston butcher 

Jeremy Garth, finished second 

in the competition. 

He said the cha lenge started 

as a “transtasman test match” 

seven years ago. 

The preparation for this 

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge 

was intense as the team 

members met in Auckland 

every two months for lengthy 

w ekend practices. Mr Winder 

said coming second against 1 

other countries was a “fantastic” 

result. 

“To get second behind Ireland 

was a huge achievement and to 

be ahead of Australia is an 

even bi ger thing for us,” he 

said. 

But Mr Winder admires the 

Australian team. 

“Those guys over there 

[Australia] are on top of their 

game, they do a g od job,” he 

said. 

“And it just showcases that 

New Zealand has got some 

of the best butchers in the 

world,” he said.

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand 

has b en a proached in a bid to 

fina ly repair the potholes in New 

Brighton’s Hawke St car park. 

Coastal-Burw od Ward city 

counci lor David East wants 

WorkSafe to pre sure the car 

park’s private owners into 

repairing the potholes which are 

a “trip and vehicle” hazard. 

WorkSafe chief inspector 

a se sment southern Da ren 

Handforth said it may be able to 

take action under the Health and 

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a 

person conducting a busine s or 

undertaking.” 

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe 

is aware of the concerns raised by 

Cr East abou the car park. 

“WorkSafe has completed 

an a se sment visi to the site 

and is engaging with the owner 

to advise them that it is their 

responsibility to manage their 

risks a propriately.” 

Different parts of the car park 

are owned by various people 

and the Coastal-Burw od 

Community Board recently 

wrote to them about its concerns 

around health and safety. 

Cr East said the bi gest i sue 

in the past has b en ge ting in 

touch with the landlords and 

owners and ge ting them to 

agr e to anything. “The board 

a preciates that multi-ownership 

of the parking space may present 

a difficulty in co-ordinating 

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged 

to pa s these concerns onto you,” 

said the le ter. 

One reply has b en received so 

far from an owner who is wi ling 

to discu s the i sue. However, a l 

the owners would have to agr e 

to undertake work. 

Cr East said there had b en 

a “number of incidences” in 

the car park of people injuring 

themselves which had gone 

unreported. 

“I’ve always though that it 

has b en quite amazing that we 

haven’t had any serious a cidents 

or senior citizens perhaps 

tri ping in those potholes and 

doing themselve some damage.” 

He is confiden the new 

a proach wi l bring results. 

“I think the WorkSafe 

involvement may prove to be the 

lever that we are l oking for.”

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. 

The removal o funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stand down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act 

as advocate for the interests of its 

community and this is what we 

are doing. The LTP and a nual

Cave Rock 

Apartments’ 

owners 

expect EQC 

sign-off 

this week 

• By Sarla Donovan 

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave 

Rock Apartments ar expecting the 

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek. 

Body corporate chairman Mike 

White said the group had gone 

into mediation with IAG and EQC 

on February 20, and signed off 

on a deal with IAG on February 

2 – coincidenta ly seven years 

to the day after the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. However, they 

are waiting for EQC to sign the 

agr ement. 

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted 

the agr ement, there’ l be no 

problem with them doing that.” 

The apartment suffered damage 

in the February and June, 20 1, 

earthquakes and were demolished in 

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the 

difference betw en indemnity value, 

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured, 

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body 

corporate. 

The mediation agr ement 

prevented Mr White from disclosing 

the se tlement amount, but he said it 

involved the two parties paying “a bit 

more money than they’d wanted to 

earlier.”

Jeremy Garth and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently 

came second a the World 

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern 

Ireland. 

It was the firs time Mr Garth 

had competed in the cha lenge 

and he was “rea ly proud” of 

how the team performed. 

“We produced some top quality 

products and came away 

with a g od result so we’re very 

ha py,” he said. 

The preparation for this year’s 

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was 

intense as the team members 

met in Auckland every two 

months for lengthy w ekend 

practices. 

Mr Garth, who has b en a 

butcher for 14 years, said the 

competition brought back his 

pa sion for the job. 

“Doing a l thi stuff and 

m eting new people, s eing new 

ideas, it just brings that flair 

back for you,” he said. 

Mr Garth hopes to own a 

butcher shop of his own someday 

but says for now he wi l focus 

on ge ting mor experience 

and on the 2020 cha lenge. 

“In two years’ time, we’ l be 

going back to try and win the 

title,” he said.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile

However, the public has li tle 

interest in having input into the 

i sue. 

Only eight submi sions were 

received for a potential bylaw 

aimed at regulating commercial 

activities in public places. 

The district council wi l be 

holding a hearing for the Public 

Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial 

Activities and Events in 

Public Places. 

A hearing i scheduled to be 

held on Thursday. 

The bylaw comes as an increasing 

number of mobile traders 

are s eking to operate in Selwyn, 

especia ly during the summer 

months. 

In the past year, the district 

council has received five inquiries 

about se ting up a mobile busine s

Pupils learn about role of war horses 

GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils 

have taken a step back in time, 

s eing first hand what men and 

horses l oked like during war. 

The New Zealand Mounted 

Rifles Charitable Trust president 

Mark A pleton and member 

Mike Donaldson t ok their 

horses to the sch ol on Monday, 

in a bid to educate pupils on the 

sacrifice their ancestors made in 

World War 1 and World War 2. 

Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson 

a rived a the sch ol dre sed 

in World War 1 uniforms while 

their horses Tommy and Kruze 

wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated 

to the trust. 

The presentation is a prelude 

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve 

Management Commi t e’s 

upcoming Anzac Day service. 

As a tribute to those who 

served, members of the trust wi l 

ride horseback to the service. 

Mr A pleton said it was 

important children were 

educated on what soldiers 

wen through during World 

War 1 and World War 2. 

But he said the presentation 

didn’t go into t o much detail 

and was more of a “show and 

te l” to make them aware of what 

the soldiers l oked like. 

Children were shown the type 

of kits horses were required to 

wear in the war.

AN U PER Ri carton butcher 

has proven himself to be a cut 

above his Au sie rivals at an 


Elite Meats owner Corey 

Winder was named in the a l 

star team a the World Butchers’ 

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland. 

Mr Winder and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which 

includes W olston butcher 

Jeremy Garth, finished second 

in the competition. 

He said the cha lenge started 

as a “transtasman test match” 

seven years ago. 

The preparation for this 

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge 

was intense as the team 

members met in Auckland 

every two months for lengthy 

w ekend practices. Mr Winder 

said coming second against 1 

other countries was a “fantastic” 

result. 

“To get second behind Ireland 

was a huge achievement and to 

be ahead of Australia is an 

even bi ger thing for us,” he 

said. 

But Mr Winder admires the 

Australian team. 

“Those guys over there 

[Australia] are on top of their 

game, they do a g od job,” he 

said. 

“And it just showcases that 

New Zealand has got some 

of the best butchers in the 

world,” he said. 

Mr Winder has b en a butcher

Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the 

board on Thursday it had the okay 

from the city council to make a 

submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies 

for a resource consen to create a

Board chairman Mike Mora 

told Western News the submi sion 

would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s 

plan. 

“You can just about guarant e 

it . because we [the community 

board] don’t believe qua ries 

should be so close to residential 

areas,” he said. 

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if 

the city council would endorse the 

board’ submi sion. 

“I’d like to think so because the 

city council has had their eyes 

open as we l ove recent years over 

the crysta line silica risk,” he said. 

Mr Mora said the community 

board wi l be “representing and 

advocating” for the Templeton 

community.
