Gillian 

gets her 

• By Julia Evans 

GILLIAN SHEARD’S dying 

wish wasn’t a trip overseas, nor 

was it a shopping spree or the 

chance to meet Prince William. 

It was an upgrade to a 

pedestrian crossing on 

Stanmore Rd in Richmond for 

her community.

dying wish 

Last year Ms Sheard collected 

500 signatures from Richmond 

residents who wanted the crossing 

to be improved after she first 

raised concerns with the city 

council in 2016. 

But city council staff came 

back and said the crossing may 

need to be removed. 

“When I heard they were 

Pages 10-11

going to get rid of it, I got really 

annoyed. I said no, you’re not 

going to do that,” she said. 

“I’m a person that is determined, 

I will go full hog and 

make something happen.”

However, Ms Sheard won her 

battle with the council when the 

infrastructure, transport and 

environment committee asked 

staff to look at improving the 

crossing.

Flu, colds 

start to 

sweep 

through 

region 

• By Sophie Cornish 

FLU AND colds are ravaging 

Canterbury but the worst could be 

yet to come, health officials warn. 

Latest figures released by the 

Canterbury District Health Board 

show there were 74 reported cases 

of the flu last week in Canterbury 

and 89 the week 

before. 

Last week, more 

than 41 patients 

in Christchurch 

Hospital had the 

flu. 

Health board 

chief executive 

David Meates said 

David 

Meates 

we should prepare for what could 

be a very bad flu season. 

“We know it’s bad in Australia, 

and there’s a high chance that 

it can come here too,” said Mr 

Meates. 

Canterbury Primary Health 

Response Group spokesman Phil 

Schroeder said a spike this early 

in the season is “relatively uncharacteristic.” 

“It is the first time that I have 

seen a major spike in May for well 

over 10 years really. We actually 

had a significant rises of influenza 

even in our later summer as well 

as in autumn in Canterbury but it 

didn’t look like it was amounting 

to a lot.”

Have your wheelie bins got their tags? 

CHECK YOUR wheelie bins 

have been electronically tagged 

because those without will soon 

stop being emptied. 

For the past three years Waste 

Management Ltd has been 

carrying out a stocktake of 

wheelie bins for the city council. 

As part of the stocktake, they 

have been fitting the wheelie bins 

allocated to each property with a 

radio frequency identification tag 

that emits a short range signal. 

The signal can be picked up 

by the kerbside collection trucks 

and used to identify if a bin is 

on a property where it does not 

belong. 

The RFID tags will help identify 

lost or stolen bins and reduce 

the cost of the kerbside collection 

by ensuring only bins that people 

are entitled to, and have paid for, 

are being emptied. 

“We are nearing the end of the 

stocktake, which means that most 

wheelie bins should have been 

tagged by now. You can tell if your 

bin has been tagged because it will 

have a small reflective sticker on 

the side,’’ city council solid waste 

manager Ross Trotter said.

Lost in Bottle Lake Forest 

Calls for 

more 

signage 

• By Matt Slaughter 

BOTTLE LAKE Forest Park is a 

haven for walkers, runners and 

cyclists. But, it’s not all fun and 

games. 

A lack of signage at the forest 

is causing people to get lost and 

has resulted in police call-outs. 

The city 

council says 

there is enough 

signage already 

and people who 

get lost will 

eventually be 

found. 

Glenn 

Livingstone 

Tim Baker 

“While there 

is the occasional 

lost park user, 

the forest’s 

popularity is such 

that it is only a 

temporary issue 

until someone 

comes along,” 

city council 

staff told the 

Coastal-Burwood 

Community 

Board, which has asked for more 

and better signage. 

The community board was 

also told: “Bottle Lake Forest 

Park has sign panels at every 

major entranceway, as well as 

sign panels placed in strategic 

locations throughout the forest; 

eight in total. Maps of the forest 

are available freely from the 

information centre and Spencer 

Park, as well as being available 

for download off the web.” 

But Burwood Ward city 

councillor Glenn Livingstone 

and board member Tim Baker 

said this was not good enough. 

Said Cr Livingstone: “I’ve been 

there when police have turned 

up looking for someone and 

they are there quite regularly, so 

with better signage, it could help 

reduce police call-out time to 

Bottle Lake.” 

Police search and rescue 

co-ordinator Sergeant Phil 

Simmonds told The Star on 

average there are between five 

and 10 call-outs a year for people 

who get lost in Bottle Lake 

Forest Park. 

They include young children 

separated from their families 

and lost walkers. 

“People are usually located 

quite quickly due to the size of 

the park and also the fact there 

is good cellphone coverage 

YOU ARE WHERE? The lack 

of signage at Bottle Lake 

Forest Park has resulted 

in people getting lost and 

police call-outs. 

in most of the forest. Police 

encourage people heading out 

into the forest to take note of the 

available maps and track names, 

and always go prepared,” he said. 

Mr Baker said the signage 

currently in place is too vague 

and there is not enough. 

He has been lost in the park on 

his bike before. 

“I for one have got lost in there 

when it’s starting to get dark and 

it wasn’t a nice feeling.” 

Mr Baker said more small 

signs, saying things like “Bottle 

Lake Car Park 1km” are 

necessary. 

The community board has 

asked city council staff to 

discuss the cost and logistics of 

installing more signage with it.

in brief 

Fire near airport 

not suspicious 

A fire at a quarry shed near 

Christchurch Airport yesterday 

morning is no longer being 

treated as suspicious. Fire 

and Emergency New Zealand 

fire investigator Jason Hobbs 

confirmed the cause of the fire 

was accidental and there is no 

evidence it was deliberately lit. 

Four crews fought the blaze at 

the Frews Contracting quarry 

on Savills Rd, near Pound Rd, at 

4.40am. 

Mother-of-two 

dies in car crash 

Tai Tarulata Dixon, 41, a 

Selwyn mother-of-two and 

midwife, was killed in a crash 

on her way to work on Sunday. 

Emergency services were called 

to the crash at the intersection 

of Sandy Knolls and West 

Coast Rds, West Melton, about 

9.50pm. The serious crash unit is 

investigating. 

Chaneys Rd on-ramp 

closed from today 

The Chaneys Rd on-ramp will 

be closed from today for the next 

four months. The New Zealand 

Transport Agency is widening 

the road under Chaneys bridge 

as part of the Northern Corridor 

project. The on-ramp will be 

reopened from early October 

until mid-2020, when the 

Northern Corridor is expected 

to be complete. 

Crashes lead to plan 

to drop speed limits 

More than 250 crashes in 

Marshland, Spencerville and 

Kainga over the last six years 

have led to a proposal to drop 

speed limits. Public feedback 

has opened on a plan to lower 

a number of 80km/h and 

70km/h areas to 60km/h around 

Marshland/Main North Rds 

from south of QE II Drive 

to north of the Waimakariri 

Bridge, Spencerville Rd 

and Kainga Rd, and west of 

Marshland Rd. It comes as longterm 

road safety data from the 

New Zealand Transport Agency 

suggests speed limits across New 

Zealand are too high.

Current vaccine ‘a 

very good match’ 

•From page 1 

“In part that has caused a few 

problems for patients in that 

quite a lot of patients weren’t 

going to get their flu vaccination 

until June, anticipating 

that the flu 

will arrive in July,” 

said Dr Schroeder. 

In New Zealand, 

flu-related illnesses 

cause about 400 

deaths a year and 

account for 45 per 

cent of sick days 

each winter. 

However, Canterbury 

Employers’ 

Chamber of Commerce chief 

executive Leeann Watson said 

employers are not yet seeing 

anything over and above business 

as usual. 

“Anecdotally we have seen a 

few more people coming down 

with colds and coughs, which 

is pretty much expected at this 

time of the year. 

“What we have seen more 

of over the past few years is 

employers providing and encouraging 

their team to get flu 

vaccinations . . . at the end of the 

day it is in everyone’s best interest 

to keep well,” she said. 

Latest figures from Australia 

show there have been nearly 

59,000 confirmed cases of the 

flu so far this year, compared 

to about 14,000 for the same 

period last year and close to 100 

deaths have been 

recorded so far. 

There was a 

stark warning 

in the weekend 

when promising 

20-year-old 

league player 

Zae Wallace died 

from an infection 

caused by the flu 

on Saturday in 

Auckland. 

He had been in an induced 

coma in Auckland City Hospital 

since April and is one of three 

others around the country who 

have died from the flu so far this 

year, including a 12-year-old and 

a 62-year-old. 

So far more than 106,000 

people in Canterbury have been 

vaccinated against the flu, about 

19 per cent of the population. 

Dr Schroeder said 

“encouraging” results were 

coming out of Australian studies 

to show the current vaccine 

is proving to be a “very good 

match” for the strains of flu that 

are being detected. 


VICTORIOUS: Gillian Sheard pictured above at the crossing last year collected 500 

signatures in a bid to get it upgraded. 

New crossing brings tears of joy 


It was not removed and 

$15,000 was spent on its upgrade, 

it was painted bright red. 

“When Deon [Swiggs] 

mentioned that it was going to 

happen, it really excited me. But 

I thought I should wait until I 

actually see it,” she said. 

“I sort of thought it was still 

going to be black and white one 

still . . . but I think its great.” 

When she was taken from her 

hospice care to see the crossing 

for the first time, she cried with 

happiness. 

Locally, it is known as “Gillian’s 

crossing” – but Ms Sheard 

insists that she didn’t lobby for 

herself. 

“This is the people’s crossing,” 

she said. 

Her passion is the Richmond 

community. 

Ms Sheard said she has spent 

the last few years advocating for 

the area and working as a neighbourhood 

support officer. 

City councillor Deon Swiggs 

helped lobby internally at the city 

council for the crossing upgrade 

after staff recommended it be 

removed. 

“I really wanted to get it done 

for her . . . it wasn’t on budget 

and we also got most of the road 

resealed,” he said. 

“She wanted to do something 

for her community and she has.”

A CHRISTCHURCH teen 

being monitored after he was 

caught plotting a 2017 terror 

attack sparked a manhunt last 

week after he walked out of his 

supervised accommodation. 

The 19-year-old, who cannot 

be named for legal reasons, 

said he felt frightened when he 

escaped. 

He walked to a city Burger 

King, which reminded him of 

when his mother used to take 

him there when he was feeling 

low, the district court was told 

yesterday. 

After withdrawing some cash, 

he was planning to flag a taxi for 

his mother’s house when he was 

tracked down, the New Zealand 

Herald reported. 

Yesterday, he admitted 

breaching his intensive 

supervision order, which he was 

sentenced to in February last year. 

He was radicalised online and 

had planned to ram a car into a 

group of people in Christchurch 

and then stab them. He told police 

that he’d “done it for Allah”. 

The teenager has been 

regularly seeing a judge for 

judicial monitoring sessions and 

this year has already admitted 

three breaches of the intensive 

supervision order, including 

two which came after he used 

his mother’s phone to view 

pornography. 

After he was picked up last 

week, he has been kept in prison. 

The jail time has proved a 

wake-up call, with him telling 

Judge Stephen O’Driscoll 

yesterday that he is “not built for 

prison”. 

In a heartfelt letter that he 

penned from his jail cell, the teen 

said how he’d felt threatened 

when he walked out. 

He hadn’t seen his mother for 

three weeks and was trying to get 

to her, where he felt safe, he said. 

“Please forgive me, your 

honour,” said the remorseful 

youth. 

He acknowledged that “recent 

events in Christchurch” might 

have some people worried about 

him walking away. 

But he assured the court that 

he had promised never to return 

to extremism. At an earlier court 


Another chance for teen 

hearing, he said how the March 

15 mosque terror attack had 

helped him reflect on his own 

earlier extremist thinking. 

Judge O’Driscoll last month 

warned the teenager that if he 

didn’t control his anger and 

emotions, he faced being sent to 

prison. 

Judge O’Driscoll yesterday 

granted him bail back to his 

supervised accommodation, but 

warned him he was running out 

of chances. 

The judge thanked him for 

the impressive letter, opening 

himself up to his thoughts, 

feelings and emotions. 

“I’m prepared to give you 

another chance. I have given 

you many chances and some 

would say I have given you too 

many.” 


SERIAL SEX offender Lloyd 

McIntosh was sent back to 

prison after abusing staff at 

his Christchurch supported 

accommodation it can be 

revealed. 

McIntosh, one of New 

Zealand’s worst sex offenders, 

was jailed for three months in 

April. He was released in the 

middle of last of month and 

is now back in his supported 

accommodation. 

McIntosh has served time for 

offences including unlawful 

sexual connection with a 

23-month-old baby, raping a 

six-year-old, and assaulting an 

intellectually disabled woman. 

He was released in 2005, 

and became the first man in 

the country to be subject to a 

10-year Extended Supervision 

Order, which will continue until 

mid-2025. 

As a condition of the order, he 

is required to live at an address 

approved by his probation 

officer. He is not able to move 

from that address without 

prior written approval from his 

probation officer. 

Department of Corrections 


NEWS 5 

Sex offender 

sent back to jail 

southern regional operations 

director Chris O’Brien-Smith 

said an ongoing deterioration 

in McIntosh’s behaviour meant 

he was warned that any further 

abusive behaviour toward staff 

would result in him being 

discharged, meaning that he 

would be without approved 

accommodation. 

In April, McIntosh was verbally 

abusive toward staff again. 

“He had disregarded the rules 

of the service, which resulted 

in him being discharged. He 

therefore had no approved 

accommodation and was 

charged with breaching the 

conditions of his order,” said Ms 

O’Brien-Smith. 

He was convicted and 

sentenced to three months 

imprisonment. 

“In accordance with the 

Parole Act 2002, prisoners who 

are serving a sentence of less 

than two years imprisonment 

are automatically released after 

serving half of their sentence. 

The offender was released from 

prison on May 17 and returned 

to reside at approved supported 

accommodation,” said Ms 

O’Brien-Smith.

JAKE MCLELLAN has lived 

in Addington, Phillipstown, 

Linwood and the central city – he 

knows the area like the back of 

his hand. 

That’s why the Linwood- 

Central-Heathcote Community 

Board deputy chairman and 

Labour Party outreach support 

worker has been named to stand 

against Deon Swiggs in the local 

body elections for The People’s 

Choice. 

Mr McLellan moved to Christchurch 

from Invercargill when he 

was 10. 

“I’ve essentially lived in innercity 

Christchurch for most of my 

life,” he said. 

Now at 27, he wants to help 

tackle some of the area’s biggest 

issues from the council table, including 

the city’s public transport, 

the living wage and revitalising 

the Linwood Village area. 

“The council’s been very, very 

slow in terms of how to deal with 

that area.” 

He said alcohol ban was not 

working and more needed to be 

done to address ongoing social 

issues. 

But Mr McLellan knows he 

has a tough opponent in Cr 

Swiggs – who was elected to the 

city council in 2016, beating The 

People’s Choice candidate Vicki 


Squaring off for Central Ward vote 

Jake McLellan 

Tahau-Paton 1400 votes to 1051. 

It was the first time the seat 

could be contested. 

“It’s going to be an interesting 

one,” Mr McLellan said. “I’m 

excited.” 

Cr Swiggs said he was “looking 

forward” to the election campaign. 

“This is democracy and anyone 

can stand. I’m looking forward to 

good, robust debate about community 

issues.” 

It is a tricky ward as there was 

a high number of transient residents, 

he said. 

“I’ve worked my backside off 

for three years . . . I want to keep 

going on the projects I’ve been 

working on.” 

That included an alcohol ban 

Deon Swiggs 

for Linwood Village and the 

area’s overall revitalisation, work 

on the central city action plan, 

addressing traffic issues along 

Manchester St, regenerating the 

Richmond area and working to 

address residents’ concerns about 

short term accommodation like 

AirBnB.

VICKI BUCK is one of the city’s 

most well known and longest 

standing politicians. 

But that is not stopping 

23-year-old financial adviser 

and Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board member 

Catherine Chu from taking on 

the former mayor for the city 

council’s Riccarton Ward seat. 

Ms Chu has lived in the 

Riccarton Ward her whole life 

and will run in the October 12 

local body elections under the 

centre-right Independent Citizens 

banner. 

“I have thoroughly enjoyed 

my work on the community 

board and my strong involvement 

with the diverse communities 

in our ward. Over the past six 

months I have been approached 

by many local residents 

encouraging me to stand for 

council,” she said. 

“It is clear Riccarton residents 

want change. I offer a fresh 

perspective and will work hard to 

represent local views at council, 

it’s time council listened.” 

Cr Buck was first elected to the 

city council in 1975 when she was 

19 and became the first female 

mayor in 1989. 

In the 2016 election, she ran 

unopposed. But she welcomes Ms 

Chu’s bid. 

“That’s the nature of local 

government,” she said.

versus experience 

Cr Buck said she was 

concerned about Independent 

Citizens lobbying for asset sales. 

“No concern with the person, 

just some concern with the policies.” 

She would be focusing on the 

“pile of issues” she still wants to 

tackle. 

“The threat we face with water 

is the big one,” Cr Buck said. 

She said it was “incredibly 

scary” thinking about the 

increasing nitrate levels in the 

water. 

But there was also the potential 

for permanent chlorination 

and loss of control over three 

waters services to lobby against. 

“And obviously climate 

change. There’s a lot of work 

we won’t have finalised by the 

end of this term, which is 

what’s motivating me to keep 

going.” 

Ms Chu is not ignorant of 

the challenge she will face 

campaigning against Cr 

Buck. 

“I’m really excited,” she said. 

“I’ve already said this to Vicki, 

she does an amazing job. I’m 

doing it because I’m passionate 

about Riccarton and Christchurch 

. . . my intentions are to 

represent the community, not 

beat someone.” 

Ms Chu said Cr Buck was an 

“inspiration” behind her running 

at a young age. 

“I want to encourage more

younger people, more diverse 

people to get into local

council or community board,” 

she said.

WEAK, SOFT ground has seen 

a bridge on the controversial 

$240 million Northern Corridor 

needing to be rebuilt. 

The poor condition of the 

ground has been an ongoing issue 

with the project and although 

the New Zealand Transport 

Agency project team took it into 

consideration, the QE II Drive 

overbridge settled further than 

expected. 

“The team has reviewed 

options to fix this and the 

best long-term option, which 

provides the greatest surety, is to 

deconstruct the walls, add new 

piles and construct the walls 

again,” NZTA portfolio manager 

Colin MacKay said. 

“The very weak ground has 

caused the abutment walls to 

move horizontally slightly 

more during construction than 

the design allows. The option 

of installing additional piles 

and reconstructing the walls 

provides the greatest long-term 

resilience.” 

Mr MacKay said the redo 

would be covered within the 

existing budget and it would still 

be on-track to open mid-next 

year. 

“The team has the equipment, 

crew and materials already in 

place and they expect to finish 

the reconstruction of the bridge 

abutments and walls within the 

current programme and within 

budget.” 

The issue was discovered 

early and so was a solution, he 

said. 

“The design and construction 

of the bridge is unchanged. This 

additional work will stabilise the 

ground beneath the bridge giving 

it good, long-term resilience.” 

Further piling work at QE II 

Drive will start in August. 

It comes as the Papanui-

take another look at traffic 

mitigation measures. 

The motorway, which runs 

from the Waimakariri district 

through to Cranford St, is expected 

to boost traffic through St 

Albans by 30 per cent. 

There have been a number of 

options suggested to off-set the 

amount including a rapid bus 

service, a high occupancy vehicle 

land and park and ride facilities. 

The city council will make a 

decision on the recommendations 

in July. 

Cruising behaviour 

new term for boy racers 

• By Georgia O’Connor- 

Harding 

IF YOU are hooning around in 

the western suburbs of the city, 

you now won’t be labelled a “boy 

racer” by community leaders. 

The Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board has 

renamed the term “boy racing” 

to “cruising behaviour” following 

concerns the words were not 

appropriate. 

The topic emerged when 

deputy chairwoman Helen 

Broughton filed a motion calling 

for increased enforcement 

of police against boy racers on 

Deans Ave. 

Before the motion was 

brought to the board the term 

was changed to “cruising behaviour” 

due to concerns from 

in brief 

Pay bills at Papanui 

Service Centre 

People wanting to post letters 

and pay bills will be able to 

do it all at the city council’s 

Papanui Service Centre. Postal 

services have been offered from 

the service centre since the 

start of February, but now it 

will become a full agent for NZ 

Post. Upgrades will be made 

to the centre over the next few 

weeks to accommodate the 

board chairman Mike Mora. 

“If you are a girl for an example 

driving a car, you are not a 

boy racer are you? If you are a 

25-year-old or a 38-year-old you 

are not a boy racer,” he said. 

His other concern was the city 

council has a “no cruising bylaw” 

in place, not a “boy racer” 

bylaw. 

Daniel Cossar, who organised 

the notorious Aves Invasion 

event over Easter, said the term 

“boy racer” is not offensive at all 

and people can call them what 

they like. 

Canterbury metro police area 

commander Superintendent 

Lane Todd said the term “boy 

racer” has sometimes been an 

issue and police instead call 

them anti-social road users.

World championship 

event for drummer 

• By Jess Gibson 

ST ANDREW’S College student 

Monte Stamm has drummed up a 

spot on the world stage. 

The 15-year-old snare drummer 

will travel to Glasgow, Scotland, in 

October to compete at the World 

Solo Drumming Championships. 

“I am feeling really excited about 

the world championships. This 

year will be my first time going to 

the world championships for solo 

drumming,” Monte said. 

Monte was crowned Australian 

young snare drummer of the year 

in a competition held at The Scots 

School Albury, New South Wales, 

on May 25. 

Because it was the first year of 

the Australian young drummer 

competition, Monte is the first to 

hold the title. 

The prize was a A$1500 travel 

voucher, which Monte will put 

towards his trip to Glasgow. 

Monte also aims to buy a new 

andante drum before his trip 

which he will use to compete. 

He began playing the drum at 

five-years-old at The Scots School 

Albury and moved to Christchurch 

in 2017 to improve his drumming 

skills at St Andrew’s College, 

where he was offered a scholarship. 

Monte has received tutoring 

from world champion pipe band

the college pipe band, directed by 

internationally-recognised piper 

Richard Hawke. 

Monte went to the World Pipe 

Band Championships in Scotland 

with the St Andrew’s College band 

last year. 

“The pipe band at St Andrew’s 

College is awesome. We have 

great tutors and committed and 

hard-working band members. The 

relationships and skills we learn 

in the pipe band are like no other 

team,” Monte said.

“I personally, got a whole

every country fits together, and 

a vision for the future of bringing

“We will provide 

opportunities for all students to

EVA HAEREWA does not want 

anyone to go through what she 

did when her sister was killed in 

a cycle accident. 

The Christchurch South Intermediate 

year 8 pupil has created 

a plan with her friend Jazz 

Thorman, 12, to make it safer 

for young people to ride their 

bikes on roads and cycleways. 

In April 2014, Eva’s older sister 

Sharla Haerewa, 

22, was killed 

when she was 

hit by a truck on 

Lincoln Rd. The 

nursing student 

was on her way 

to work when a 

75-year-old truck 

driver took a turn 

Haerewa 

without seeing her. She was hit 

and pulled under the truck. The 

driver pleaded guilty to careless 

driving causing death and was 

sentenced to pay reparations 

and disqualified from driving 

for eight months. 

Last year Eva was also 

knocked off her bike by a 

vehicle while she was cycling to 

school. She was lucky to come 

away with minor injuries, but 

said she was shaken after the 

incident. 

“These are the reasons why 


I decided it was important to 

stand up and do something 

that could help save the lives of 

others, especially kids who cycle 

or scooter to school,” said Eva. 

With funding help from 

Youth Voice Canterbury’s ‘big 

ideas fund’, Eva and Jazz have 

gifted 75 fluro vests to pupils 

who cycle to school. 

They are adorned with a 

surfer-inspired design and the

Beggars, homeless and drinking 

A number of strategies 

have been tried and 

tested in the Linwood 

Village area including 

a liquor ban. But it has 

been dealt yet another 

blow with the closing of 

SuperValue last week, 

Julia Evans reports 

THE SHELVES were nearly 

empty and almost everything was 

on special – including last year’s 

Christmas paper. 

Instead of beggars outside, 

there was a steady stream of 

people making their way in 

and out of the Stanmore Rd 

SuperValue to get a deal before it 

closed. 

Friday was the store’s last 

trading day, it was shutting up for 

good. 

But it seemed owner Choy 

Ming Lee wanted to leave quickly 

and quietly, without making a 

fuss. 

He declined to be interviewed 

by The Star. 

Mr Lee had previously said 

drinking and begging outside 

the store was putting shoppers 

off – they were too intimidated to 

enter. 

Last year the city council 

approved a permanent liquor 

ban for streets around the village 

bound by Fitzgerald Ave, Armagh 

St, England St and Hereford St, 

including Doris Lusk Reserve. 

But beggars and people 

drinking outside the shops are 

still the main reason Steve Joseph, 

who owns Hibbards Butchery on 

the opposite side of Stanmore Rd 

said he is also leaving. 

Once his tenancy was up, the 

business would be the next store 

to close – he’s already purchased 

another butchery to move into 

and will leave Linwood when his 

lease runs out mid-2020. 

However, Mr Joseph said it was 

not quite as bad since the alcohol 

ban had come in. 

“But I’ve had customers 

phone in and say they would 

love to shop here but they won’t 

anymore,” he said. 

Police drive through and don’t 

stop to move people on, he said. 

“Losing the supermarket is a 

big blow, but it’s just the area.” 

Mr Joseph was waiting to see 

how losing the supermarket 

would impact the area, but he 

predicted it would soon be empty 

of any shoppers at all. 

“The street’s going to be a ghost 

town,” he said. 

“I can’t imagine how many 

customers we are losing because 

of all the drinking and smoking.” 

One of his customers Lisa 

Howard, who has lived in the area 

for more than 20 years, said she 

doesn’t go to the butchery often 

any more because of the people 

begging outside. 

“I haven’t been down to the 

butcher since people started 

drinking outside . . . I love the 

butcher,” she said. 

The fact that the supermarket 

was going would impact the 

whole area, she said. 

“It’s going to affect a lot of 

elderly people and people who 

live nearby, for a lot of people its 

only a hop, skip and a jump,” Ms 

Howard said. 

“I don’t blame him, it’s not his 

fault.” 

However, she said the liquor 

ban had made a different and 

there were other initiatives, like 

the tiny shops, a hub for smallscale 

community businesses such 

as bike repairs, and other work by 

Te Whare Roimata, which were 

helping. 

“It’s hard to tell the difference 

between beggars and the 

homeless. If they’re genuinely 

homeless, I would like to see 

them get a home,” she said. 

Armagh St resident Adam Calje 

said SuperValue closing was a 

“major loss” for the area. 

“It’s angered me that the 

beggars have done this. I’ve got 

half a dozen neighbours I know 

that won’t come down to these 

shops at all,” he said. 

“The whole area is dying.” 

Mr Calje said the SuperValue 

was convenient and cheap for 

those who lived on the south 

side of the Avon River, compared 

to New World more than 1km

away along Stanmore Rd. 

“I don’t understand why they 

don’t have this problem on the 

other side of the river,” he said. 

“I resent the fact I’m going to 

have to walk further to go to the 

supermarket.” 

Mr Calje has witnessed major 

fights, drinking, drug use and 

been approached by women 

offering sexual favours in broad 

daylight. 

When The Star visited last 

week, a man placed his open 

can of bourbon on top of the 

Kiwibank ATM before he went 

and urinated up against the fence. 

It was 3pm. 

Mr Calje said he would drive 

around the block to go into the 

supermarket through the back 

door so he didn’t have to walk 

past the beggars. 

“But the neighbourhood has 

improved in some ways,” he said. 

The alcohol ban had helped, but 

not enough. 

“Before the earthquake, it used 

to be quite a vibrant shopping 

area,” Mr Calje said. 

Now he’s made it his mission to 

bring attention to the issues and 

get some action.

“I’ve spoken to police, Deon 

[Swiggs] and now I’ve got an 

appointment with Duncan Webb,” 

he said. 

“If I die trying, I’m going to 

help.” 

Mr Calje said there was a 

distinct police presence in the 

area a while ago, but it had 

dropped off as time went on. 

Superintendent Lane Todd 

said resources had been 

diverted since the March 15 terror 

attack. 

“We are aware of concerns and 

have been in touch with local 

businesses to offer reassurance. 

The Neighbourhood Policing 

Team will be resuming duties in 

Linwood Village in the coming 

weeks,” he said. 

“Police strongly encourage 

anyone who feels threatened 

or unsafe due to anti-social 

behaviour to notify police 

immediately, so we can respond 

as appropriate. We want the 

public to be safe, and feel safe.’’ 

Improving the area has been 

on the radar of Central Ward city 

councillor Deon Swiggs since he 

was elected in 2016. 

“It’s a local supermarket and 

a huge loss of amenity for local 

residents,” he said. 

“But there’s a lot of potential in 

the area, just a lot of deep-seated 

social issues to overcome.” 

Cr Swiggs lobbied hard for the 

alcohol ban – but said there was 

still a lot more to be done and in 

spite of the supermarket leaving, 

hope was not lost. 

“We do need to do more. I 

think the area needs a special 

regeneration. The success of the 

central city is dependent on the 

suburbs around it,” he said. 

However, Cr Swiggs said it was 

more than just drinking, there 

were mental health issues. 

A city council spokesperson 

said about 60 per cent of the area’s 

commercial buildings were lost in 

the earthquake. 

There were concerns over 

the recent loss of the supermarket. 

“Anchors play an important 

role in centres, and the loss of an 

anchor such as a supermarket 

may impact the vibrancy of a 

centre.” 

However, work is ongoing in 

the area’s redevelopment. 

“The Linwood Village Master 

Plan was developed with the 

community and adopted in 

August 2012 to support the 

recovery of the commercial 

centre.” 

Work to date includes landscape 

improvements at Doris Lusk Park,

CLOSED: The 

SuperValue 

supermarket 

on Stanmore 

Rd is no longer 

trading. 

WATER AND the state of 

roads are the two major sources 

of discontent with the city’s 

residents. 

The point of contact survey 

and the general service satisfaction 

survey are two of the 

measures the city council uses 

to gauge its performance and to 

identify areas for 

improvement. 

The condition of 

roads and footpaths 

and the quality of 

the water remain a 

source of discontent 

for people – 27 per 

cent of people were 

happy with the state 

of the roads and 37 

per cent with water 

quality. 

“The findings of these surveys 

are valuable because they highlight 

the areas where residents 

feel we need to do better,’’ chief 

executive Karleen Edwards said. 

“For example, it is clear from 

the point of contact survey 

results that residents want better 

maintenance and upkeep of our 

community parks, wharves and 

jetties, and cemeteries. That is 

something elected members 

will be able to take into account 

when they meet over the next 

few weeks to finalise the city 

council’s budget and work 

programme for the next 12 

months.” 

Dr Edwards said the survey 

findings also show residents 

don’t fully understand city 

council decision-making 

processes or how they can get 

involved. 

“That is something we need to 

address,” she said. 

“We need to make sure we are 

communicating effectively with 

all sectors of our community 

and that everyone feels they can 

engage with us on the issues 

they care about,’’ Dr Edwards 

says. 

The general service satisfaction 

survey shows 62 per cent 


NEWS 13 

Residents have 

mixed feelings for 

council – surveys 

of those surveyed are generally 

satisfied with the council’s performance 

– up from 55 per cent 

last year. 

“One of the most pleasing 

findings of the point of 

contact survey is that 86 per 

cent of those who were asked 

about their interactions with 

city council staff said 

they found them to be 

friendly, approachable 

and helpful,” Dr Edwards 

said. 

“We have put a lot 

of focus on improving 

our customer service 

and ensuring that we 

put the needs of our 

Karleen residents first so I’m very 

Edwards pleased with this result, 

although there is still 

room for improvement.” 

In the general service satisfaction 

survey roading remains the 

most commonly cited area for 

improvement, followed by water 

supply. 

“We know the condition of 

our roads and footpaths remains 

an issue and we are spending 

an unprecedented amount of 

money to try and improve the 

situation,’’ Dr Edwards said. 

“Before the earthquakes we 

spent about $70 million a year, 

in today’s dollars, on maintaining, 

renewing and upgrading 

the city’s roads and footpaths. In 

this current year we are spending 

$86 million.” 

She said it was also investing 

in the water supply. 

“Unfortunately we have had to 

chlorinate the water while that 

work is done. As a result we have 

seen satisfaction with the quality 

of our water drop from 79 per 

cent last year to 37 per cent,” she 

said. 

“By the end of May about 

90 per cent of Christchurch’s 

water supply is expected to be 

chlorine-free and we are working 

to remove the chlorine from 

the remaining water supply as 

quickly as possible.”

OUR PEOPLE – AXEL WILKE 

The Axel that keeps Chch moving 

FUTURE: Axel Wilke became a transport engineer to 

save himself from going “crazy” working at his parents 

supermarket in Germany. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER 

With a name like Axel Wilke, it was only natural the transport consultant’s career would 

involve cars, bikes, buses, scooters and skateboards. He speaks to Julia Evans about his 

midlife crisis at 24-years-old and the time he royally messed up an intersection 

How did you get into the 

transport field? 

I had my midlife crisis when 

I was 24. What happened to 

me, I was running my parents 

supermarket and had been 

doing that for a few years and I 

was just absolutely bored. I was 

not doing anything with my 

brain and I was so frustrated. 

It was actually quite funny. We 

belonged to a chain, half of the 

people running supermarkets 

were owner/operators, and every 

couple of weeks, 300 of us from 

the northern region would come 

together and spend an afternoon 

together. What I wasn’t quite 

sure about was whether you had 

to be crazy in order to do this 

job long-term or whether doing 

this job long-term turned you 

crazy. Either way, I didn’t want to 

find out. So what I did with my 

midlife crisis is I decided I needed 

to study something and so one 

of my really core interests was 

sustainable transport. I was mad 

in that area, so I thought, why 

don’t I just study that? I asked 

around and I was told you have 

to become a civil engineer for 

that. I thought how strange, but 

never mind, so I became a civil 

engineer. I was halfway through 

my degree when my girlfriend 

said she was going to move back 

to New Zealand. She was a Kiwi. 

She’s not in the picture any longer. 

Anyway I was halfway through 

my degree and I visited her here 

over Christmas and checked out 

the universities. At Canterbury, 

they said I could finish my degree 

here, not a problem. I graduated 

from Canterbury in 1997. A few 

years later I went back and did my 

masters at Canterbury. 

But you never finished your 

PhD? 

When I finished my masters, 

my lecturer tried really hard to 

talk me into carrying on with 

a PhD and I said “yeah, nah.” 

After uni I started my first job at 

Christchurch City Council and I 

was there for eight years. While I 

was doing my masters, I was parttime 

at the city council still and 

went back full-time afterwards. 

I absolutely loved my job and 

I couldn’t see taking another 

three or four years out to study 

something full-time. I thought 

there’s more fun to be had by 

actually getting my hands dirty 

and doing stuff. 

Did your love of transport 

start as a child? 

In terms of what I played with 

as a kid, it was Lego. I loved going 

to my grandparents. They had a 

bed seat, you put the seat up and 

underneath there was a big box 

of Lego. I played with it for hours, 

that was the engineer in me. But I 

guess I’ve been into cycling since 

I started just getting from A to 

B when I was five like any kid. I 

biked to school 2.5km when I was 

in primary school. 

Where in Germany are you 

from? 

I’m from the north-west – the 

biggest big city is Hanover. That’s 

where I was actually living for a 

few years, once as a kid and once 

as a young adult. The rest of the 

time I was living in a tiny village 

of less than 3000 people called 

Exter. 

So you came to Christchurch 

following love? 

Yes, then I fell in love with 

Christchurch. I ditched my 

girlfriend – that didn’t really last 

that long. Never mind, but the 

other love has endured. I came 

here and that was it. All of the 

rest of my family lives nicely 

in Germany, just in one spot 

actually. All close together. 

But you’re married now? 

I am. She’s a Kiwi. How we met 

is a funny story all right. We went 

tramping in about 1999/2000 

and tramped around Mt Fyffe in 

Kaikoura. •Turn to page 18

OUR PEOPLE 

Planning out the city’s transport system 


We spent the whole weekend 

together. There were five of us 

on that tramp and that was the 

only time I had met Julie. Then 

10 years later, we met again. That 

is how you meet these days, Find 

Someone, an internet date. It was 

before we got together that Julie 

showed her best friend my photo 

and she said, oh, it’s Axel. Julie 

and her best friend had done a 

lot of tramping together over the 

years. That photo was handed on 

to another of her friends and she 

said Julie, Axel was on one of our 

tramps. We said no, we would 

remember each other, wouldn’t 

we? We could honestly not 

remember each other. My wife’s 

recollection of that particular 

tramp is that she was tramping 

with four other women. But then 

the friend said I’ve got photos 

of that tramp and there we were 

sitting next to each other around 

the bonfire. We have absolutely 

no recollection of one another. 

Chance really stuffed that one up. 

Tell me a little bit about 

your work, what do you do 

day-to-day? 

I do a variety of things. I do 

safety audits, I design traffic 

lights, I do a lot of planning in 

the cycling space, I do a lot of 

design work. One of the things 

I really enjoyed, I did this really 

early on in my career. Going 

ADVOCACY: Axel Wilke helped redesign the plan to 

change Cranford St. 

through university I thought, 

no wonder nobody knows 

what to do because you simply 

don’t learn it. I had one lecture, 

45min that covered how you 

design for pedestrians, how you 

design street lights and how you 

accommodate cycling. The total 

of my undergrad for cycling 

was 15min. I thought holy s**t. 

I gathered a few like-minded 

people around me and said why 

don’t we get some professional 

training up-and-running and we 

did. We did it in a very deliberate 

way that made this a very slow 

process, it took us 18 months to 

talk some central Government 

agencies into it. We wanted 

their money and we didn’t want 

their money because we needed 

funding to do this, we could’ve 

already done it in our own time, 

in my case the Christchurch City 

Council was very supportive. 

We wanted money from central 

Government to have skin in the 

game. So we’ve been training 

since 2003 and have helped 1300 

engineers and planners through 

professional training. This is 

outstandingly influential. We 

have turned New Zealand around 

from not knowing anything to 

it being a lot better. You can see 

it up and down the country, it’s 

much better. It really didn’t take 

long for people to pick it up and 

know what to do. It’s fantastic. 

Out of that, going back to my day 

job, our company ViaStrada, we 

do a lot of guideline development 

work, engineering and design 

development for the Government 

and the New Zealand Transport 

Agency mostly, which everyone 

follows in the country. That 

comes out of having this idea 

back in 2001, let’s get some 

professional training going. 

Have you had any funny 

transport blunders? What’s 

the worst designed road in 

Christchurch? 

The worst designed piece 

of road we’re about to have is 

Cranford St, immediately north 

of Innes Rd. It is absolutely 

astonishing. The plans are for a 

minimum width facility, next to 

a minimum width facility, next 

to a minimum width facility 

and projected traffic volumes of 

more than 40,000 vehicles a day. 

Unbelievable. My colleague and 

I once had a really massive stuff 

up. It wasn’t a city intersection. 

When a state highway goes 

through the city, the NZTA or 

back then it was probably still 

Transit New Zealand – they are 

the road patrolling authority – 

they had an intersection where 

they changed the form of control 

from roundabout to traffic 

lights. They ran the plan by the 

city council for sign-off and the 

transport planners thought this 

doesn’t look quite right, so they 

gave it to us designers to have a 

look at. A colleague of mine and 

I, we looked over it. What we did 

is we put these little post-it notes, 

tiny ones, whenever we found 

something wrong with the design 

on the big A1 plan and said what 

was wrong with it. When we 

finished, you couldn’t see the 

design any longer, the whole plan 

was covered. The guys made the 

decision rather than send it back 

to the consultants, why don’t we 

design it ourselves. We designed 

it with the city’s feedback and 

said here was a design that will 

work. Transit said thank you 

very much, it didn’t cost them 

a cent, ratepayers paid for it. So 

they built that thing, it opened 

and there was a crash once a day. 

We were absolutely horrified. 

What was happening was the 

intersection included this huge, 

sweeping slip lane. Whereby 

when people turned left there, the 

turn was such a large radius that 

many cars’ indicators wouldn’t 

reset. •Turn to page 21

focus, the BodyFix team take a fresh approach to 

health and fitness.

matter how fit or unfit you feel you are. 

We encourage people to take a healthy approach to 

feeling fit, healthy and happy. It’s not just about weight 

loss – it comes from within. 

This month our focus is around Men’s Health Month. 

Our unique gym specialises in group exercise classes, 

and we have a range of expert trainers who offer a 

wealth of industry experience. 

We have a really balanced team, who are all highly 

knowledgeable in their own set of niche markets. 

Designed to appeal to all ages, the gym is fully 

equipped with the most up-to-date equipment, and 

consistently maintains the highest standards of 

customer service. 

BodyFix has supported a range of charities over 

the years by raising money through different events 

however Exercising is also about mental health – a clear 

mind is a remedy for most things; which is why we focus 

on supporting mental health charities and especially 

this month with the focus on Mens Health. 

Over the month we will be focussing on different 

aspects of Mens Health. Encouraging all men to get a 

check up and annual ones, giving out advice on creating 

new habits but most of all encouaring men to start 

talking #menstarttalking and just to do somethingfor 

themselves to be a little bit healthier. 

Everything we do is directly to help improve the health 

of everyone and we want to make a difference. 

There are plenty of men who still don’t look after 

themselves and some of the changes can be pretty 

simple. We can help improve the lives and the lives of 

those closes to us by educating and giving them the 

tools and the space to help. 

We all know that without our health we are no good 

to anyone. Men need help to encourage them to lead a 

long, healthier and happier life. 

Life is tough and we want to encourage men to talk 

about things more. If we can influence just 1 male to 

start then hoping we can change the world bit by bit. 

Men in NZ often have a tendancy to wait until things 

become to much to handle before they ask for help. 

As a club we are hugely passionate about making 

a diference – we are more than just a gym.

OUR PEOPLE 21 

Bid to make a difference at ECan 


Just beyond the intersection 

you would go over a railway line 

and it was a bit bumpy so people 

would slow down a little bit. 

Immediately after the railway 

line, there was a side street to the 

left. At the time the rule was you 

turn left and you give way to the 

oncoming opposing right-tuners. 

So there were people waiting to 

turn right, people come along, 

slow down for the railway line, 

have their indicators going left 

and they would carry on straight 

through. Bang, they would be hit 

by the right-turner – one a day. 

We thought what did we do, how 

do we fix this. We fixed it with 

paint. We had a brainstorming 

session and put some paint on the 

ground after a week or so. We put 

the people going straight right 

hard against the flush median 

so it was absolutely crystal clear, 

they were going straight through. 

That fixed it. That’s my biggest 

professional stuff up we fixed 

with $300 of paint. We were 

sweating about it. 

What intersection was it? 

I’m too scared to say it. 

Have you done much 

travelling? 

I have, we had a good time 

in Vietnam. My mum used to 

come over reasonably regularly. 

She’s getting older, why don’t 

the four of us meet half way 

FAMILY FUN: Axel Wilke has travelled extensively around Vietnam with his mother. 

and spend some time together. 

That ended up being Vietnam. 

We were spending two weeks 

or so basically all our stuff in a 

backpack and travelling by bus 

and train from city to city to park 

up somewhere and organise a 

place to stay for a few days. It’s 

really, really lovely when the 

Vietnamese figure out that you’re 

travelling with parents. 

Any interesting hobbies? 

I love mountain biking, to 

be honest. The Port Hills is just 

marvellous. We are blessed. One 

thing that I really love about the 

Adventure Park is you can go in 

there and they don’t charge you 

as long as you get yourself up the 

hill with your own steam. I think 

that’s a really, really nice gesture. 

I don’t have a problem paying for 

lift passes, but I’ve been biking 

up Worsleys since 1998. Then 

the Adventure Park opens so 

many years later, why would I 

stop going up Worsleys? It’s what 

keeps me slim and fit. 

Any plans for your next career 

move? 

One little big life event coming 

up on October 12 – the local 

body elections – I’m going 

to stand for Environment 

Canterbury as an independent. I 

haven’t really been secret about 

it, I’m telling everyone who 

wants to hear, but I just haven’t 

made a public announcement. 

ECan sort public transport, 

that’s their role in the transport 

space and I am so frustrated 

watching what’s happening or 

what’s not happening. I know 

how to sort this out and it really 

needs a fundamental re-think 

about how the regional council 

goes about providing public 

transport services. I have made 

submissions and they certainly 

all know me and know of my 

opinions, but they don’t have the 

in-house capability and capacity 

to turn things around. For the 

last five years, our passenger 

numbers are going down. Since 

2014, the central city is filling up 

again – 35,000 new jobs and our 

patronage numbers are going 

down. It’s absolutely tragic.

Speed limit overhaul 

• By Louis Day and 

Julia Evans 

SUMNER AND Woolston 

speed limits could be set for a 

complete overhaul. 

The city council is proposing 

various changes to the speed 

limits across Sumner and 

Woolston Village. 

Sumner’s 

plan proposes 

the speed limit 

be reduced 

in the wider 

residential 

area from 

50km/h to 

Sara 

Templeton 

40km/h as 

well as a drop 

to 30km/h at 

the entrance 

to Sumner, through the 

township and along the 

Esplanade. 

Heathcote Ward city 

councillor Sara Templeton saw 

the change as necessary. 

“I know that many people 

have concerns about the large 

trucks going back through the 

town on their way to Lyttelton 

so I think it will be well 

supported. There have also been 

some issues with boy racers in 

the area,” she said. 

Cr Templeton thought a 

reduction in the speed limit 

would benefit local businesses. 

“When you have slower speeds 

LOWER: The speed limit on Ferry Rd may be dropped to 

30km/h. 

it makes it easier for people to 

have a look at the shops when 

they go past and are more likely 

to walk around when it is a 

pedestrian safe space.” 

The speed limit in the 

Woolston Village precinct may 

also be lowered. 

Consultation is set to begin 

on lowering speed along Ferry 

Rd from Portman St to nearly 

Palinurus Rd to 30km/h. 

Part of St Johns St, Maronan 

St, Oak St, Heathcote St, 

Portman St and Glenroy 

St would also be dropped 

to 40km/h as part of the 

proposal. 

Public feedback on the plans 

will open on June 17. 

The moves follows previous 

consultation on the Sumner 

and Ferry Rd master plans, 

which approved implementing a 

12-month trial. 

The Woolston area’s master 

plan was approved in 2014 and 

currently streetscape upgrades 

for the village are in the design 

phase. 

It features wider footpaths and 

cycle lanes, upgraded crossings 

and street lighting. 

A laneway linking Ferry Rd 

to the public car park and preschool 

behind the library will be 

upgraded for use by pedestrians 

and cyclists under the library 

development. 

New and upgraded bus 

stops and shelters will also be 

introduced. 

New Lyttelton tug 

soon to enter service 

THE LYTTELTON Port 

Company’s new tug Piaka arrived 

on Friday. 

Piaka was designed by 

Canadian tug experts Robert 

Allan and built in Singapore by 

ASL Shipyard, and will replace 

harbour tug Purau, which has 

been in service since 1986. 

Over the past month 

she has sailed from 

Singapore to Lyttelton 

and was greeted at the headlands 

of Lyttelton Harbour by LPC 

tugs Purau and Blackadder, and 

pilot launch Awaroa. 

LPC chief executive Peter Davie 

said the new tug will offer improved 

power and manoeuvrability. 

“It will increase our handling 

capability for the larger vessels 

that are expected to call at 

Lyttelton following the recent 

upgrade of the navigation 

channel. The future of shipping 

is seeing a trend towards 

NEW 

ARRIVAL: 

Lyttelton 

Port 

Company’s 

tug Piaka

on Friday. 

significantly larger vessels,” he said. 

“The modern control systems 

and winch set-up of the Piaka are 

similar to LPC’s tug Blackadder, 

further modernising LPC’s harbour 

tug fleet,” says Mr Davie. 

Piaka is the Māori name for 

Adderley Head, and the tug 

is painted in Canterbury colours. 

Piaka has 75T bollard pull, 

significantly more than the Purau. 

Mr Davie said it was fantastic 

to have Piaka arrive safely at Lyttelton. 

“It is another vital part of our 

development at LPC, ensuring we 

can cater for the growth in container 

volume moving through 

Lyttelton, and continue to be the 

gateway for the goods that keep 

our region moving.” 

Piaka will undergo testing and 

training sessions with her new 

crew over the next few weeks, 

before being formally launched 

and named.

news online at www.star.kiwi 25 

I WAS reading through some 

emails over the weekend and 

came across a reminder that 

all our wheelie bins needed 

to be tagged as part of the 

major stocktake that has been 

undertaken over the past two 

years, with the addition of radio 

frequency IDs. 

The consequences of not 

being tagged is that the rubbish 

bin won’t be emptied. So I made 

a reminder to myself to double 

check if there was a 

small reflective sticker on the 

side. 

I write this on rubbish 

collection day as I take the bins 

out, discovering that only one 

of the three had the reflective 

sticker that confirms it is 

tagged. 

So I have been on-line to 

the city council website and 

submitted a request to have this 

done. 

It only took a minute to do 

(although you do need the bin 

number(s), which is printed on 

the side of the bin, so make a 

Mayor 

Lianne Dalziel 

Stocktake to track 

475,000 wheelie bins 

note of it before you go on line – 

I just took a photo on my phone). 

You can also phone the city 

council contact centre 941 8999 

and a customer services team 

member can fill the form in for 

you – remember you will need 

the bin number. 

The tagging system is an 

important way for the kerbside 

collection trucks to identify if 

a bin is on a property where it 

does not belong. This will help 

identify lost or stolen bins and 

reduce the cost of the kerbside 

collection. 

There are over 475,000 bins 

in the collection service – so it’s 

possible that quite a few have 

been missed. I’m hoping my bin 

will be emptied today, but if not 

at least it will be tagged for next 

time.

Dalziel a question, email

Tantrum to the power of 10 

I GOT TWO pretty decent 

sleep-ins this week. 

I mean I had to travel to 

Australia to get them, and one of 

those included being a bit worse 

for wear. Still, it was good to get 

some extra shut-eye. 

However, poor Laura got stuck 

inside over the weekend while 

I was away thanks to the nasty 

weather. If you remember back 

to early April when I was away in 

Hamilton she copped the same. 

It must be a curse or something. 

My flight didn’t get in until 1am 

on Tuesday morning, so I only 

ended up getting about four hours 

sleep before a little smiling face 

was pressed close to mine to get 

me up. 

I was stoked, I had missed 

Vittoria heaps while I was away. 

While I was gone she’s mastered 

her little push-car and worked 

out how to turn up the tantrum 

power to 10. 

With average weather striking 

again on Tuesday, riding her little 

car up and down the drive wasn’t 

a full-day option. 

Laura was on leave so the 

three of us packed up the car and 

headed to Lyttelton for a family 

lunch out. 

Bubs behaved like an angel the 

whole time. 

After eating we went out onto 

a deck area to see the view of 

the port when Vittoria spotted 

an excellent way to show off her 

tantrum skills – some slippery 

looking stairs that had toddler 

head injury written all over 

them. 

Not letting her go down 

those was cause for a full-blown 

meltdown at me, crying and 

screaming right beside some 

strangers enjoying a coffee catchup. 

Good thing I’ve developed 

a healthy level of not getting 

stressed about what bystanders 

think. 

When I tried to give her a 

cuddle to calm her down, she ran 

away for a cuddle from 

mum instead and her stroppy 

attitude lasted all the way back to 

the car. 

Still, it was nice to see Vittoria 

turn to Laura for a change. 

I’m sure, in spite of the tears 

and noise, that Laura would have 

appreciated that too.

GARDENING 

Ornamental kale for colour through winter 

• By Henri Ham 


FLOWER GARDENS tend to 

look a little dull at this time of the 

year. 

But there are some plants that 

thrive once your summer annuals 

pass their best. Ornamental kale 

– an annual grown for its pretty 

waved leaves and bright winter 

colours – is the perfect plant to 

insert some liveliness into your 

garden right now. 

Ornamental kale grows in 

large, low rosettes, like prizes in 

your garden. It’s a compact plant 

that closely resembles a cabbage. 

While you can eat it, it’s mostly 

grown for its colourful leaves. But 

if you’re really keen on tasting it, 

you’ll find ornamental kale has a 

very bitter taste. 

What I like about this 

type of kale is that it’s bold, 

striking and, (best of all) 

requires little care in your garden. 

And, once established this fun 

kale can deliver a good few 

months of colour to your winter 

garden. 

There are a variety of 

ornamental kales around. Most 

have symmetrical green outer 

leaves and purple rosey or creamy 

white centres. Some have wider 

cabbage-like leaves, others tight 

frilly edges – similar to endive 

lettuce. 

The most popular type is 

THE WINTER blues in our 

house are not the sort to get 

you down. 

To be precise, they’re blue 

violas, light blue lobelias, 

lavender primulas and moody 

blues pansies. And they’re all 

excellent ways to inject some 

bright colour into your winter 

garden. 

If your garden is looking a 

little bland after your summer 

flowers have dried up, now is 

the time to plant these winter 

annuals. And if you’re not 

feeling so ‘blue’, many of these 

pretty flowers also come in 

shades of pinks, purples, whites 

and yellows as well. 

For the sunnier areas of your 

garden, look to antirrhinum 

pigeon kale. It comes in both 

purple and white varieties 

and has a true rosette 

appearance. 

Ideal for garden pots, 

borders and edging, you 

might have seen ornamental 

kale before in large beds of town 

gardens or in the middle of traffic 

islands. 

dwarf, viscaria, nemesia and lobelia 

as good starting points for 

adding colour. They suit borders, 

mass planting or simply 

planted in between your roses. 

And for those slightly shadier 

spots, polyanthus, primulas 

and cineraria dwarf can all help 

add some bursts of colour. 

But if you’re not sure where 

to start, violas are a staple of any 

winter garden. You’ll find these 

cute little flowers in shades of 

oranges to yellow, dark blues, 

burgundy and white. 

If you’re wanting something 

new, try sorbet blue viola. It’s 

a cute little white and violet 

coloured flower, still featuring 

the tiny yellow face that many 

violas often have. 

When you plant ornamental 

kale seedlings on mass (about 

20cm apart) they develop a lovely 

packed-in feel – really carpeting 

a garden. 

Once you’ve got your seedlings, 

find a sunny well-drained spot in 

your garden. 

Dig holes around 5cm deep, 

20cm apart and gently place the 

CONTRAST: White and 

violet viola. 

Plant your viola seedlings 

10cm apart, in full sun with 

well-drained soil. They’ll flower 

from right now until spring, 

CARPET-LIKE: 

The more sun 

your kale gets 

the brighter 

the colours 

will be. 

seedlings in. Lightly massage the 

root systems to loosen them 

up. 

If you’re not sure what to plant 

alongside your kale, ornamental 

grasses (carex) are an ideal easycare 

companion. 

The more sun your kale gets, 

the brighter colours you’ll be 

rewarded with. 

Violas are a cold weather staple – plant now 

growing to around 15cm high. 

Give them a good initial watering 

and feed of general fertiliser. 

Once they’ve got going, they 

won’t need much watering 

through the cooler months – the 

perk of a winter garden. 

In around four to six weeks, 

you’ll start to see a splash of 

colour pop up. Just remember 

to pick off the dead heads to 

encourage them to flower, and 

you’ll get to enjoy your colourful 

winter garden for many 

months ahead. 

And, if you’re a hanging 

basket enthusiast, combine your 

violas with some cascading 

lobelia and hang it near 

your front door to add some 

welcoming colour to your home. 

But don’t think about planting 

them out too early. 

Ornamental kale is a true 

winter plant that needs the cooler 

night temperatures to thrive. 

Once planted, give an initial 

feed of liquid fertiliser. But after 

this, just stick to water. 

Too much fertiliser can cause 

the plant to grow an elongated 

stem under the rosette, which will 

detract from its pretty, compact 

appearance. 

In around six weeks you’ll start 

to see colourful kale developing 

in your garden beds. 

Happy gardening.

Colorado makes easy 

work of cross trainer 

YOU’D THINK after 

writing about cars for 

30 years there would be 

few things in a motor 

vehicle that would get the 

better of me in terms of 

technology. 

There’s nothing more 

embarrassing than having 

to go back to a dealership 

admitting defeat and asking 

how something works. 

Well, that happened to 

me with Holden’s latest Z71 

Colorado, quite simply I 

couldn’t get the deck cover 

off. The friendly sales 

staff at Blackwells quickly 

showed me how it was 

done, and I was on my way. 

I was quite anxious to 

have access to the deck area 

as my wife’s cross trainer 

needed workshop repair, 

and transporting it on the 

back of a ute was the most 

sensible option. I also used 

it to take a load of green 

waste to the recycling 

centre. 

Quite obviously, these 

tasks were no match for 

the Colorado’s 1000kg load 

capacity, but they did serve 

to prove how adaptable the 

modern ute has become, 

and if you add in a 3500kg 

tow rating the Colorado is 

right up there in terms of 

load carrying performance. 

However, as much as it 

is a standout in terms of 

practicality, the Z71 fourwheel-drive 

double cab is 

aimed more towards the 

recreational buyer, it has 

decals, stripes, body kit and 

a high level of specification, 

full leather trim is some 

indication as to how it sits 

in the market. 

There are also many 

unseen specification 

elements, the Colorado 

is state of the art in terms 

of electronic inclusions 

for safety, while comfort 

and convenience items are 

generous. It is very modern 

in the cockpit, while 

seating comfort for five is 

guaranteed. 

Under the bonnet 

sits a 2.8-litre, fourcylinder 

twin-camshaft 

turbocharged diesel engine. 

It is rated by Holden at 

147kW, and with 500Nm 

of torque available at 

just 2000rpm it is a 

powerhouse, easily on a par 

with all of its competitors. 

Drive is harnessed 

through a six-speed 

automatic transmission. 

A manual is available, 

but it won’t compete with 

the auto in terms of sales 

figures. Bear in mind, too, 

the manual has a lower 

engine torque figure of 

440Nm. 

Shifts in the auto are 

HOLDEN COLORADO Z71: Versatile, go-anywhere 

double cab ute. 

smooth, and the gearing 

is such that it provides 

relaxed motoring at 

highway speed, along with 

the ratios needed for slow 

speed, off-the-seal travel. 

Backing up that theory 

is the fitment of a true 

low ratio transfer box, it is 

manipulated electronically 

by a console-mounted 

dial switch at the driver’s 

command. 

• Price – Holden 

Colorado Z71, 

$66,900 

• Dimensions – 

Length, 5361mm; 

width, 1872mm; 

height, 1800mm 

• Configuration 

– Four-cylinder, 

four-wheel-drive, 

2776cc, 147kW, 

500Nm, six-speed 

automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 11sec 

• Fuel usage – 

8.7l/100km 

Because I was travelling 

alone I didn’t take the 

Z71 off-road, instead, I 

spent most of my time 

with the Z71 at highway 

speed and my regular 

commute. In those 

conditions it seems more 

car-like than ute-like. 

Sure, at well over 5m 

there is a lot of bulk to 

manoeuvre in close confine 

situations, but it’s no worse 

than any other vehicle of 

its type. If you take into 

account the numbers that 

are being sold, buyers quite 

obviously don’t rate that as 

a challenge. 

On the open road, the 

engine turns over slowly 

at 1550rpm at 100km/h 

in top gear. At that speed 

Motoring 

Ross Kiddie 

it returns a 6.2-litre 

per 100km (46mpg) 

instantaneous fuel usage 

figure and that accounted 

for a 9.4l/100km (30mpg) 

average figure during my 

time with the ute. 

That correlates well 

with the 8.7l/100km 

(32mpg) figure Holden 

claims for a combined cycle 

average. 

Road and wind noise are 

both kept to a minimum, 

and the Colorado as a 

series imparts a smooth 

ride. Of course, it is better 

with a bit of weight in the 

back, but the reality is the 

load bearing suspension 

is relatively absorbent 

and the cab doesn’t jiggle 

unnecessarily on uneven 

surfaces. 

That’s an area where 

local research and 

development pays 

dividends. Holden 

Australia places a huge 

emphasis on developing 

vehicles for down 

under conditions, and 

it certainly shows in 

Colorado. The ride is 

acceptable, while and the 

entire in-cabin experience 

is comfortable. 

I guess it would need to 

be welcoming. The Z71 

listing at $66,990 is a bit 

of an outlay, but if you get 

to the dealership before 

the end of June you will 

be in line for a tempting 

Feildays bargain, and with 

the amount of on-board kit 

it would be a very worthy 

purchase. 

Even though the 

Z71’s flashy bits disguise 

its traditional ute look, 

make no mistake, the Z71 

is still the quintessential 

Colorado which has carved 

out a huge reputation as 

a tough, go-anywhere 

worker.


Greg Somerville was a 

staple in the Crusaders’ 

front row for a decade. 

But after his playing days, 

he had to decide what 

his next move would 

be. Gordon Findlater 

talks to him about going 

into business after a 

successful rugby career 

LAST YEAR Greg Somerville 

purchased Think Water 

Marlborough – an irrigation 

company established in 1996 at 

the start of the grape planting 

boom. 

But outside of work, the 

former tight head prop can be 

found offering up scrummaging 

tips at local rugby clubs. And 

with many of his customers 

being wineries, he has also 

become partial to the odd bottle 

of Marlborough sauvignon 

blanc, even though he says he is 

still very much a beer man. 

“I’ve got a mate that owns a 

craft brewery up in Auckland. 

That’s one of my biggest things 

I miss the most from up there 

was the consistent flow of craft 

beer I could get from him,” said 

Somerville. 

The 41-year-old racked up 

115 appearances and nine tries 

for the Crusaders between 1999 

and 2008, winning Super Rugby 

titles in 1999, 2000, 2002, 2005, 

2006 and 2008. He also earned 

66 caps for the All Blacks. 

Somerville grew up on a farm 

near Wairoa, Hawkes Bay, and 

got his first taste of rugby at 

Taiho Primary School. He went 

on to play first XV rugby for 

Napier Boys’ High School. 

Following school, Somerville 

spent two years at Smedley 

Station – a cadet training farm 

which provides hands-on 

agricultural skills for young 

farmers. A pathway to the 

Crusaders then popped up in his 

home province. 

“At the time, Wayne Smith 

was the (chief executive) of 

Hawkes Bay rugby. I played 

some age group rugby there and 

then Smithy went back down to 

Christchurch and that’s when 

Canterbury started to talk to me 

about going down there,” said 

Somerville. 

He relocated to Christchurch 

in 1998 and was one of the 

first players to come out of the 

Canterbury academy, which was 

being run by Steve Hansen in its 

early days. 

“I wanted to go to Lincoln 

to do a diploma in farm 

management, so that whole 

package tied in quite well,” he 

said. 

Somerville also played club 

rugby for Lincoln University, 

but says they were not as strong 

as the current team which have 

won the last four metro rugby 

titles. 

“We dominated the bottom 

of the table when I was there. 

Awesome club, but yeah, we 

weren’t as successful as they are 

now,” said Somerville. 

Before becoming a Crusaders 

regular, he spent a year living 

in a flat with a group of Lincoln 

students. He then moved 

into a flat with his Crusaders 

teammate Ben Hurst. 

“As you can imagine, I was 

trying to become a professional 

rugby player and learning what 

that was all about with sleep 

patterns and nutrition and also 

living student life . . . there was 

a bit of a transition from being 

a varsity student to being a 

responsible professional,” said 

Somerville. 

He made what was at the time 

a shock debut for Canterbury 

in their 1998 NPC semi-final 

loss to Waikato. Somerville and 

Dave Hewett were given their 

first starts for Canterbury in the 

match. However, they looked 

to catch Waikato off-guard by 

keeping their selection secret 

until the team sheets were 

handed out just before kick-off. 


Somerville’s new venture 

NEW VENTURE: Greg Somerville 

took over irrigation company, Think 

Water Marlborough, last year. 

•Over the Super Rugby season, The Star will look back each 

week at some of the identities who graced the Crusaders 

jersey in the past and discover where they are now 

“We flew up under different 

names and when we got into the 

airport, we were whipped into 

the Koru Lounge so no reporters 

could see . . . Shag [Steve 

Hansen] said not to tell anyone, 

so I didn’t even tell mum or dad. 

The morning of the game, he 

asked if my parents were coming 

to watch and I said no, because 

you told me not to tell anyone 

. . . he had a laugh and told me I 

was an idiot,” said Somerville. 

“We ran out and even the 

commentators were thinking 

who the heck is this?” 

The following year, Somerville 

made his Crusaders debut in 

their opening match of the 1999 

season against the Chiefs. He 

went on to play all 13 games 

that year, including their 24-19 

win over the Highlanders at 

Carisbrook in the final. 

“We had to go to Brisbane and 

we beat the Reds in the semifinal 

after they had dominated 

all year. To tip them over there 

and then go down to Dunedin 

and beat the Highlanders, 

looking back it’s a pretty big 

feat,” said Somerville. 

“We were all mates at the end 

of the day, so you got to live and 

breathe going to work with your 

mates, and we also enjoyed a lot 

of time off the field together as 

well.” 

Throughout his career, 

Somerville has had the 

nickname Yoda among 

his teammates due to his 

resemblance to the Star Wars 

character. 

“Xavier Rush came up with 

that when were at a New 

Zealand colts camp . . . he must 

have seen something, I definitely 

don’t have any special powers or 

forces,” he said. 

Following his final year 

with the Crusaders in 2008, 

Somerville spent two seasons 

with Gloucester in the English 

Premiership. He then played 

his last season of rugby with 

the Melbourne Rebels during 

their inaugural Super Rugby 

campaign in 2011. Following 

this, Somerville relocated to 

Auckland. 

“I tried a few things. I worked 

for PGG Wrightson for a year 

and dabbled in a wee bit of 

coaching here and there as a 

scrum coach for a number of 

teams,” he said. 

After moving to Marlborough 

and spending time coaching 

with the Tasman Mako’s in 

2017, he purchased Think Water 

Marlborough. 

“I love it here and the smaller 

town vibe . . . the outdoors and 

ocean is here. Life’s easy in 

terms of getting around,” said 

Somerville. 

“Doing business in a small 

town is good. You get to interact 

with a wide range of people, but 

everyone’s still connected and 

think local and support local.” 

KEY MAN: Greg Somerville 

was one of the first names 

on the team sheet during 

his time at the Crusaders. 

SPORT 31 

in brief 

Top four finishes for 

Canty basketballers 

Two Canterbury basketball 

teams finished in the top 

four at the under-19 national 

championships in Dunedin. 

The under-19 men’s team were 

unable to defend their title for 

a third straight year, falling 

to champions North Harbour 

in the semi-final 78-100. The 

side then rebounded to defeat 

Wellington 61-67 and finish 

third. Meanwhile, the under-17 

girls team advanced to the 

semi-finals before losing to 

Waikato and Taranaki to finish 

fourth. Canterbury players Tom 

Webley and Helen Matthews 

were both named in their 

respective all-tournament teams. 

West triumph over 

East in league games 

West took the honours 32-20 

in the annual West v East 

Canterbury Rugby League 

fixture at Nga Puna Wai on 

Monday. Hornby Panthers 

forward Caius Faatili bagged a 

double for West. Regan Stanton 

(Hornby Panthers), Nick Evans 

(Halswell Hornets), Tirikatene 

Taiuru (Halswell Hornets) 

and Zion Kamana (Riccarton 

Knights) also scored for West. 

The match was an opportunity 

for players to press their case for 

Canterbury Bulls selection later 

in the year. West also took out 

the inaugural women’s clash by 

defeating East 38-12. 

Volleyball medals 

at national champs 

Canterbury nabbed four medals 

at the national provincial 

volleyball championships in 

Wellington over the weekend. 

The under-21 men were crowned 

champions after defeating 

Harbour in straight sets 25-22, 

25-21, 25-19. It was a remarkable 

turnaround for the team after 

losing to Harbour in straight 

sets during pool play. The senior 

men had to settle for silver after 

being defeated by Harbour 25- 

25, 25-18, 20-25, 19-25 in their 

final. The senior women’s team 

finished third after defeating 

Waikato in straight sets in the 

bronze medal match. They were 

earlier defeated by champions 

Harbour 21-25, 25-17, 16-25, 

17-25 in the semi-final. The 

under-17 girls team took silver 

after going undefeated before 

falling to Wellington in the final. 

Chatham Cup fourth

The fourth round of the Chatham 

Cup will see Mainland Premier 

League powerhouse Cashmere 

Technical host Canterbury 

Championship League frontrunners 

Christchurch United. 

The other Mainland region 

match will see Ferrymead Bays

Suburbs in an all-MPL affair. 

The matches will take place 

over the weekend of June 15-16. 

Waimakiriri United will host 

Coastal Spirit in the third round

NEW BRIGHTON lock 

Boris van Bruchem is 

preparing to represent 

New Zealand at a world 

championships – but not 

in rugby. 

Van Bruchem, 20, will 

travel to South Africa 

following New Brighton’s 

final game of the metro 

rugby season as part of 

the New Zealand team 

to compete at the World 

Korfball Championships 

for the first time. 

The 195cm lock grew 

up around korfball – a 

ball sport with similarities 

to netball and basketball 

– due to his parents 

being Dutch. His parents 

through playing korfball 

in the Netherlands, where 

more than 100,000 people 

take part in the sport. 

“I remember watching 

my parents play, then they 

coached a school team we 

had at Richmond School,” 

said van Bruchem. 

He started playing rugby 

as an eight-year-old for 

Shirley before going on 

to play first XV rugby at 

Shirley Boys’ High School. 

“Korfball helps with my 

hand-eye co-ordination, 

which helps with catching 

and distributing the ball at 

lineouts, but they are quite 

different sports, which is 

why I enjoy them because 

it’s nice being able to do 

something and the next 

day having a different 

training for a different 

game,” he said. 

He has played for the 

New Zealand under-19 

korfball team at 

international competitions. 

However, the world 

championships will be his 

first time playing for the 

New Zealand senior side. 

Last year van Bruchem 

was part of the Canterbury 

rugby team which 

competed at the national 

under-19 tournament. 

Since the end of last 

season, van Bruchem has 

put on 10kg. Now 105kg, 

he hopes the added size 

will help him progress his 

game to the next level. 

“Every off-season is 

about putting on weight 

to be able to go to the 

next level. It is a bit hard 

because you have to eat a 

lot,” he said. 

Van Bruchem is used to 

being the tallest player on 

the rugby field. 

However, when New 

Zealand come up against 

the Netherlands in 

pool play at the korfball 

champs, he will be brought 

back to eye level with the 

world’s best. 

“There’s going to be a lot 

of really good players there, 

it’s just going to be really 

cool to test myself against 

the best in the world,” he 

said. 

The World Korfball 

Championships will 

take place in Durban from 

August 1-10. 

But for now, 

van Bruchem’s focus is 

on helping New Brighton 

reach the top six of the 

metro rugby competition, 

which can be achieved 

with a win over Belfast on 

Saturday.

Boxer hungry for success 


FASTING DURING Ramadan 

and dropping down a weight 

division wasn’t getting in the 

way of Mujib (Jai) Ghazizada 

winning the most scientific elite 

boxer award at the South Island 

Golden Gloves. 

Ghazizada won the 64kg elite 

male title by winning his three 

fights at the Golden Gloves 

held at the Kaiapoi Club at the 

weekend. Following his gold 

medal-winning bout he was then 

awarded the most scientific elite 

boxer. 

He joins an elite list of boxers 

to have won the trophy including 

one of his idols – current WBU 

Welterweight World Championship 

Bowyn Morgan – who won 

it in 2011 and 2012. 

“When I took the trophy I saw 

Bowyn Morgan’s name on it, I’m 

a huge Bowyn Morgan fan . . . I 

look up to him, he’s an amazing 

boxer,” said Ghazizada. 

The 24-year-old would normally 

fight in the 69kg division. 

However, due to Ramadan – 

which means abstaining from 

food and drink between sunrise 

and sunset - he dropped down a 

weight division. 

“Normally I weigh around 

67kg,” said Ghazizada. 

“It was a bit difficult to recover, 

but it was just a mind-set. I just 

told myself to never give up and 

give 100 per cent everything I 

have.” 

Ramadan finished yesterday 

and Ghazizada celebrated in 

traditional Afghani style with 

rice and curry.

DETERMINED: Mujib Ghazizada (blue) lands a punch 

en route to winning the 64kg elite male title at the South 

Island Golden Gloves. 

He and his family arrived in 

New Zealand 14 years ago as 

refugees from Afghanistan. One 

of his first memories in New 

Zealand was watching David 

Tua and Shane Cameron fights 

which sparked a keen interest in 

the sport. 

However, it was only two years 

ago that he joined the Papanui 

Boxing Club. His gold medal at 

the Golden Gloves was just his 

sixth fight as an amateur. 

Ghazizada – who is a civil engineer 

– has the dream of going 

professional in the future. 

“I’m really hungry for it . . . 

It’s a dream, every time I think 

about it keeps me going and 

going, to turn professional and 

become New Zealand champion 

one day. Hopefully, I can 

become a world champion,” said 

Ghazizada. 

His commitment to boxing 

hasn’t gone unnoticed by his 

coach Eric Sincock. 

“He never misses a training 

and he’s very good in the gym 

with the other people,” said 

Sincock. 

The 75-year-old has been 

involved as a coach at the 

Papanui club for more than 20 

years. However, it is the first 

time he has won the coach of the 

most scientific boxer award at a 

South Island Golden Gloves.

THE INEVITABLE move to live 

sport being streamed could hold 

the answer to getting more bums 

on seats at Super Rugby games. 

Spark’s streaming service for 

the Rugby World Cup is the first 

sign of what is to come when it 

comes to viewing our most popular 

sport. If live Super Rugby 

and All Black games move to 

streaming in the future it could 

help pack out stadiums if a local 

market blackout is implemented. 

A blackout is the non-airing of 

a television or radio broadcast in 

a particular market. 

If a Super Rugby blackout 

was introduced it would mean 

Crusaders fans in Christchurch 

wouldn’t be able to watch a live 

broadcast of a home Crusaders 

match. They would instead have 

to attend the match to see it live 

or watch delayed coverage. 

There’s no hiding the ugly fact 

rugby crowds in New Zealand 

have dwindled over the past two 

decades and one of the reasons 

can be linked with the increased 

accessibility and improved quality 

of live broadcasts. 

However, the same hasn’t happened 

in some countries when 

it comes to their most predominant 

sports. 

In the United Kingdom a 

blackout has been in effect since 

the early 1960s and forbids any 

live soccer match from being 

shown in the UK between 

2.45pm and 5.15pm so that attendances

Blackouts the way to 

get bums on seats 

Football League matches are not 

affected. 

While Premier League 

matches are shown live around 

the world during this period, UK 

viewers are restricted. 

The best model to follow would 

be the regional model which has 

been used for major sports in the 

United States. 

For more than four decades 

the NFL maintained a blackout 

policy which stated that a home 

game cannot be televised in the 

team’s local market if 85 per cent 

of the tickets are not sold out 

72 hours prior to its start time. 

The same policy applied to 

Super Rugby would mean Crusaders 

games could be broadcast 

live to local viewers as long as the 

stadium reaches capacity. 

The reason live New Zealand 

sport broadcasts moving to a 

streaming platform would be the 

ideal time to introduce blackouts 

is because it could easily be implemented 

through the geographical 

location of IP addresses – meaning 

you won’t be able to watch 

through an internet connection 

within X number of kilometres 

from a team’s home ground. 

The biggest argument against 

this being unfair is the age old 

“what if you can’t afford to go 

to the game.” However, I can 

assure you the cost of attending 

a season of Crusaders games 

wouldn’t work out to cost much 

more than a Sky subscription for 

a season.

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 Darren 

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 about the car park. 

“WorkSafe has completed 

an a se sment visit 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.”

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 Hills 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.”

A WOOLSTON butcher proved 

to be a cut above the rest in an 

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.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile

be l oming. 

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 setting up a mobile busine s 

on private or public land. 

A report said there are two 

str et operators in Darfield, a 

coff e cart is parked beside the

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 

since the age of 19.

Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if 

the city council would endorse the

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.”

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.”

“Doing a l thi stuff and

Pupils learn about role of war horses

Mr A pleton said it was

BRYDWR’S Little Brown Jug has new owners and new 

management. 

e iconic local pub has been taken over by experienced 

hospitality operators Graham and Fay Wali. 

Originally from Otago and well known for their genuine 

southern hospitality, the Wali family has been managing bars and 

restaurants in the Canterbury region for over 5 years. 

Although they only took over the neighbourhood local three 

months ago, regulars are already praising improvements to the 

business. In particular the food. 

“We’re very lucky to have Tracey Cashin on board operating the 

bistro,” said Graham. 

During her career Chef 

Little 

Brown 

Jug 

Tracey Cashin has been 

part of numerous 

Canterbury based food 

operations and has 

recently been awarded a 

prestigious 2019 Beef and 

Lamb Excellence award 

for one of her dishes. 

Graham Wali & Chef Tracey Cashin 

“I’m very excited to be 

working with Graham and Fay,” said Tracey. “We’ve put together 

new lunch and dinner menus and already have a couple of items, 

such as my Seafood Chowder and our succulent Ribs, that 

repeatedly sell out.” 

e new menu’s offer a good selection of dishes that are family 

friendly and extremely affordable. Lunch choices range Moroccan 

Chicken Tacos, and Corn Fritter Stacks through to Lambs Fry 

and Bacon, Roast of the Day, and a 200g Rump Steak - all priced 

at only $15. Dinner choices include the same exceptional value 

$15 200g Rump Steak through to Lamb Shanks (one for $26, two 

for $32), Black Doris Plum Chicken ($25), Pasta of the Day ($22), 

and Flintstone Steak ($32), to name a few. 

“We’re also offering Gold Card Holders a $5 dessert with lunch 

orders and have a great kiddies menu too,” said Tracey. 

LBJ is open daily from 9am with live SKY sport, 18 machine 

gaming room, TAB pod, and live music at weekends. It’s also 

available for private functions. Enquire with the friendly team
