Fatal hit-and-run
High-profile offender
in police chase before
pedestrian killed
• By Jess Gibson
QUESTIONS ARE being asked
over what supervision was in
place for serious repeat offender
Marcel Sydney Geros leading up
to yesterday’s fatal hit-and-run in
New Brighton.
Geros
(right) was a
passenger in
a vehicle with
two others
when it failed
to stop for
police shortly
before 2pm.
Police
abandoned the
pursuit but the
vehicle was
located soon
after and Geros
and a woman
were apprehended.
The people
in the vehicle
were gang-affiliated. A third
person ran off and stole a van
which rammed a police dog
vehicle and soon after struck
and killed a pedestrian at the
intersection of Hawke St and
Shaw Ave.
Late yesterday police said they
were seeking Liam Strickland,
21, in relation to the hit-and-run.
The pedestrian, who lived in a
van in an empty New Brighton
car park, was standing in the
road and appeared to be trying
to wave down the fleeing vehicle.
Ten days ago, Geros escaped
a prison sentence for the
attempted kidnapping of a
woman while
jogging
in Ilam in
September last
year.
When he
appeared in
the district
court for
sentencing,
Judge Raoul
Neave decided
not to jail
Geros. Instead,
he received
two years
of intensive
supervision.
Judge Neave
told the court
he expected a
backlash over his decision.
Geros has a violent
background and was jailed in
2008 for the brutal bashing of an
elderly man in the North Island.
“No doubt there will be letters
to the editor demanding my
resignation. It won’t be the first
time and it won’t be the last,”
said Judge Neave.

Said Canterbury University
spokeswoman Margaret Agnew:
“UC cannot respond to allegations
that are before the police.”
She referred the questions
back to Dr Cheer. Her phone was

Police would also not comment

said.
“The number of admissions
across the region is much higher
than the past two flu seasons.
Every year we plan for the
worst and take a health system
approach to planning and
responding, meeting monthly
with a group of representatives
from different health providers,
from general practices to
pharmacies to labs to hospital
staff,” said Dr Pink.
A free flu shot is still available
to people who are most at
risk. This includes people aged
65-years-old and older and
pregnant women.
Gough’s mayoralty plans:
Decision early next week
• By Louis Day
JAMES GOUGH will decide
early next week whether he will
challenge Lianne Dalziel for the
mayoralty.
The high-profile city councillor
has been pondering over running
for months but said a final decision
was likely to happen early
next week before nominations
close on Friday.
“There is no hurry with these
things, there are a number of
things that I want to look at and
there is still a bit of work that
needs to be done, not in the
11th-hour, but certainly in the
last week of nominations I will be
making a decision,” he said.
Businessman Darryll Park
announced he would be running
on Tuesday.
Both Cr Gough and Mr Park,
a co-owner of restaurant and bar
Fat Eddie’s, are well-known figures
within the business community.
If both run at the same time
this could split the centre-right
vote and play right into the hands
of left-leaning candidates such as
current mayor Lianne Dalziel and
high-profile activist John Minto.
Ms Dalziel, a former Labour
Cabinet Minister before she
became the mayor in 2013, and
Mr Minto, a political activist who
was at the forefront of protests
against the Springbok tour in
1981, are likely to get the leftleaning
vote.
Mr Park said this was not
something he had really
Lianne Dalziel
thought about.
“I respect James for whatever
decision he makes,” he said.
Cr Gough saw Mr Park as a
strong candidate and would not
comment as to whether him
standing would influence his
own decision to run.
“I have known Darryll for quite
some time and he certainly has
an impressive track record, I
have a lot of time for him.”
Former city councillor and
mayoral candidate Paul Lonsdale
could further divide the centreright
vote if he decides to run.
Darryll Park Paul
Lonsdale
Mr Lonsdale, another wellknown
figure in the business
community, said he was not ruling
out a run for the mayoralty.
James Gough
He did not think running
would scamper the chances of
other right-leaning candidates.
“I think each candidate going
into this election will bring their
own qualities people will be able
to identify with, I don’t see any
massive similarities between any
of the candidates,” he said.
Tourism operator Robin
McCarthy, retail worker
Stephen McPaike and
telecommunications technician
Adrian Schonborn are also
running for mayor.

Questions over
supervision
•From page 1
Judge Neave told the court he
had been impressed by Geros’
efforts to distance himself from
gang associates and the progress
he had made while on remand in
jail for the attempted kidnapping
charge.
Intensive supervision is a
community-based supervision
sentence which is imposed if the
court thinks it would reduce the
likelihood of further offending
through rehabilitation and
reintegration of the offender.
The Department of Corrections
yesterday refused to discuss the
incident, or say if Geros was being
supervised or not because it was
an “active police investigation.”
But Sensible Sentencing Trust
national spokeswoman said
questions needed to be answered.
The trust would be pushing
to have Judge Neave’s intensive
supervision sentence reviewed.
“Being under intense
supervision he shouldn’t have
been in the car with whoever he
was with,” she said.
“He clearly cannot be out in the
community.”
She said there has recently been
a lot of similar cases where people
were breaching their intensive
supervision.
“It’s not working and the
resources are not there to be able
to put people under intensive
supervision.”

IT’S A dirty job, but someone
has to do it.
That is Trevor and Alison
Murray’s reason behind why
they will pick up any litter,
broken glass and dog faeces
they see while walking
throughout the suburb.
“Somebody has got to do it,”
Mrs Murray said.
Every day while walking their
two dogs Abby and Macey, the
couple will clean up the suburb’s
parks and streets, along with reporting
anything on city council
property needing repairs.
They have been presented
with a Keep Christchurch Beautiful
Award in recognition of
their hard work.
Mrs Murray, who is also a
member of the Greater Hornby
Residents’ Association, said
she was “thrilled” to have been
acknowledged.
The couple will often walk to
areas including Oakhampton
Reserve, Trevor Reserve and
the old Branston Intermediate
School site.
“One day we came home with
three cartons of alcohol cans
and bottles left at the old school.
It is things like that, that really
disgusts me,” Mrs Murray said.
Her message to other residents
is to “clean up after yourself.”

“I am not saying I am perfect,
because I am not, but it never
hurts people to pick up rubbish,”
Mrs Murray said.
Her message also goes to dog
owners not picking up their
dog’s faeces in public spaces.
“You are not allowed to leave
it on the ground but some dog
owners don’t care . . . it is a
legal requirement but it is also a
moral obligation,” Mrs Murray
said.
She said she gets annoyed
with takeaway restaurants due
to the amount of rubbish she
finds.
Her other concerns are children
injuring themselves as a
result of broken glass left on the
streets.
“The city council can’t afford
to have the parks cleaned
up . . . it comes back to us
unless they want to put up their
rates.”
Last year the association
obtained a litter picker,
gloves and bags from the
Keep Christchurch Beautiful
organisation to allow Mr and
Mrs Murray to continue their
efforts.

INVESTIGATORS ARE still
struggling to identify the cause
of an explosion that destroyed a
Northwood house.
Several items of interest have
been found at the blast site.
Fire and Emergency New
Zealand is continuing to investigate
the cause and origin of the
gas explosion that obliterated a
Marble Court house on July 19.
Blast waves threw chunks
of roof tiles and other debris
around the neighbourhood.
One Greymouth man was
rushed to Christchurch Hospital
where he was placed on life support.
Five others were also taken to
hospital.
Neighbours and passers-by
who pulled stunned survivors
from the burning debris at the
time they were amazed that
nobody was instantly killed.
Over the past week representatives
of Fenz, WorkSafe, police
and the insurance industry have
worked together to reconstruct
large portions of the house in
which the blast occurred to gain
a clearer picture of what happened.
But the cause of the blast has
not yet been definitively established.
Fenz Christchurch Metro
Area Commander David
Stackhouse indicated that the
investigation will likely continue
over the coming weeks and will
include the testing of several
items of interest found at the
blast site.
Personal belongings, including
photo albums, have been
recovered from a number of the
properties badly affected by the
explosion and returned to their
owners.
news online at www.star.kiwi
Blast cause still unknown
TESTING: The Northwood house which was destroyed in
an explosion is still cordoned off and is the subject of a
Fire and Emergency New Zealand investigation.
“For many families photographs
are their most important
belongings,” Stackhouse said.
“Those working on the investigation
were delighted that they
were able to reunite many of the
people affected by the explosion
with these irreplaceable items.”
The scene of the incident
remains under guard while the
investigation continues.

Northwood rates
remission to
be considered
• By Louis Day
CITY COUNCILLORS will vote on
whether a rates remission should be
granted to homeowners forced to
move out of their properties due to
the Northwood gas explosion.
This comes after some of the
residents affected by the explosion
on July 19 contacted the city council
regarding options for rates relief.
Four properties have been given
dangerous building notices, four
have been given restricted access
notices and other properties have
had to be vacated in spite of not being
issued a notice of any form.
The house where the explosion
occurred, 9 Marble Court, was completely
destroyed.
City council staff have advised
against issuing any of the houses a
rates remission due to it being inconsistent
with the stance taken in
the past with ratepayers in similar
circumstances.
No remissions were given by the
city council in response to the 2017
Port Hills fires. A remission was not
given following the fire at Antonio
Hall on Riccarton Rd last month.
However, rates remissions have
been granted in the past.
In March 2014 the city council
granted a full rates remission to occupants
of a Redcliffs house due to
land movement risk. The following
month full remissions were granted
to properties affected by flooding.

Blueprint for how to house region’s
• By Louis Day
GREATER Christchurch will
need 86,000 new homes by 2048
to accommodate a predicted
population increase of 150,000.
The new report Our Space
2018-2048: Greater Christchurch
Settlement Pattern Update sets
the plan for housing development
in the region over the next three
decades.
The plan – which was put
together by the city council,
Environment Canterbury and
Selwyn and Waimakariri district
councils – predicts the region’s
population will increase to
640,000 by 2048.
It identifies preferred locations
for housing growth and sets
housing targets to accommodate
the increased demand. The need
for social and affordable housing
is recognised in the report as one
of the plan’s key challenges.
“Social and affordable housing
will become an increasingly
critical issue. Enabling higher
density housing developments at
different price points will be vital
to meeting the projected increase
in demand for smaller, more
affordable dwellings,” the report
says.
There will need to be 55,950
new homes in the city by 2048,

the housing demand across the

growing population
Transport specialist and
former adviser to John Key,
Axel Wilke, said having more
people living in the city will
help, but is not the complete
answer to reducing commuter
flows and pressure on transport
infrastructure.
“There is nothing
fundamentally wrong with there
being housing development in
Selwyn or the Waimakariri, but
those should be
alongside, or
very close to,
rapid transport
corridors,” he
said.
“With rapid
transport
available,
Adam
Thompson
people in the
outer districts
would not have
to drive, or they will be better
off not driving, because rapid
transport gets them there faster
and more reliably.”
Selwyn will take on 20 per
cent of the housing demand
with a target of 17,290 new
homes and Waimakariri the
remaining 15 per cent with a
target of 13,360.
Urban economist Adam
Thompson said urban expansion
is likely to have an impact on
agriculture but this would be “a
small price to pay.”

new homes by 2048, while Waimakariri aims to have

“New Zealand has the highest
agricultural exports per capita
of any country in the world,
and it also has some of the most
unaffordable housing. In my
opinion, affordable housing
is a more pressing issue for
the country than agricultural
production,” he said.
Mr Thompson is concerned
the Selwyn district does not have
the land to keep up with the
demand.
A minimum net density of 12
households per hectare will be
implemented in Rolleston, which
currently has a net density of 10
households per hectare.

But Mr Thompson says at the
current rate, Rolleston will run
out of undeveloped land by 2025.
“Towns like Rolleston are
providing most of the city’s
affordable housing and are in
strong demand, particularly by
young families. The amount of
land that Our Space has allocated
for these towns isn’t enough to
keep pace with this demand,” he
said.
“Rolleston needs a buffer
of around eight to 10 years of
undeveloped land to ensure there
is enough land for builders and
prices are not pushed up at a fast
rate.”

Man charged after
mother buys back toy
• By Sophie Cornish
A MOTHER took matters
into her own hands after her
daughter’s electric ride-on car
was stolen then posted for sale on
Facebook just hours later.
Shirley resident Alysha
Kinnaird became frustrated after
reporting the burglary to police
and being told it may take a few
days for action to be taken.
Miss Kinnaird’s garage was
broken into and her two-year-old
daughter’s toy electric car worth
$450, a $300 fitness machine and
a $500 trampoline still in its box
were stolen on July 27.
“I rang the police. They just
took some notes down and said if
I find out any more information
to let them know. So I posted
on the buy/sell pages for people
to look out for anyone selling
the items. Then about an hour
later, I got flooded with all these
messages of screen-shots of this
person selling the ride-on. It
looked pretty dodgy because they
were selling it for $70, I brought it
for $450. He was saying they sell
for $200.”
The seller lived just around the
corner. Miss Kinnaird pretended
to be an interested buyer and
then asked her ex-partner to go
around and buy the ride-on car.

“I rung the cops back and

can prove it was mine. They said
no one was available, it could
take a few days and that to call
them back if I had any more
information. So I said, well, they
are literally just around the road
and all my other stuff will be sold
by then.”
A 21-year-old man has since
been charged with burglary and
is due to appear in the district
court on August 26.

Canterbury
no longer
the MDMA
capital of
New Zealand
• By Sophie Cornish
CANTERBURY has lost its
title as New Zealand’s MDMA
capital.
New data from police
wastewater drug testing shows
Southland has claimed the title
for the drug’s prevalence.
From February to April,
Canterbury samples showed
400mg per day per 1000 people
of MDMA in the wastewater.
Southland had 600mg.
At the Christchurch testing
site, MDMA/ecstasy made
up 50 per cent of the drugs
found in the wastewater,
methamphetamine 47 per cent
and cocaine three per cent.
MDMA/ecstasy is the second
most commonly detected illicit
drug across New Zealand, with
an estimated consumption rate
of 5.7kg on average each week.
The testing for
methamphetamine, cocaine,
heroin, MDMA/ecstasy and
fentanyl was undertaken at 37
wastewater plants, covering
80 per cent of New Zealand’s
population.
PROPERTIES IN Canterbury,
including one in Avonside,
were raided yesterday as
part of a nationwide police
methamphetamine sting.
Ten people were arrested and
more than $1 million in cash
and assets was seized across New
Zealand.
National Organised Crime
Group Detective Inspector Greg
Cramer said more than 150 staff
executed search warrants at
17 residential and commercial
properties throughout the wider
Canterbury, Auckland and
Southland districts.
The warrants were part of
Operation Maddale, a
10-month investigation into
the supply and distribution
of methamphetamine and
subsequent money laundering
throughout the country.
To date, the investigation
has seized 20kg of
methamphetamine, with an
estimated street value of more
than $12 million, Detective
Inspector Cramer said.
More than $550,000 in
cash was also seized, along
with several high-end vehicles,
including a Porsche Macan,
Jeep Wrangler, three
Harley-Davidsons, a Ford
Ranger, a Yamaha bike, and a
jetski.
Jewellery, including a $70,000
necklace, was also seized.

Meth bust nets $1m in cash, assets
RAID: Several vehicles, including a Porsche and Harley-Davidson motor-cycles, have been
seized by police as part of a major operation targeting the supply and distribution of
methamphetamine.
In total, more than $1
million in cash and assets were
restrained.
Detective Inspector Cramer
said the seizures and arrests
have disrupted a sophisticated
methamphetamine network
within New Zealand.
“This drug has a devastating
impact on our communities
and affects countless Kiwi
families. The seizure of 20kg of
methamphetamine will
prevent significant further harm
to those families,” he said.
“We want to send a strong
message that anyone who
chooses to cause harm to
our community through the
manufacture or supply of this
drug will be found out and held
accountable.”
Ten people, aged between 21
and 42, will face more than 70
charges between them, including
supply of methamphetamine,
possession for supply of
methamphetamine, money
laundering and participating in
an organised criminal group.
They are due to appear in the
Christchurch, Auckland and
Dunedin district courts this
week.
The investigation is ongoing at
this stage.
Police have not ruled out the
possibility of further seizures

Police chase fraudster’s $250k money trail
• By Sophie Cornish
A REPEAT fraudster has been
caught in another scam involving
more than $250,000 – but police
still don’t know where the money
has gone.
Brendon Karl Dean Harris
pleaded guilty in the district
court last week to 12 fraud
charges relating to a sophisticated
scam dating back to 2017 and
early last year.
Detective Glenn Forrest, who
ran Operation Luna which led to
Harris’ arrest, said he could only
speculate about where the money
is now.
He also believes there were
more people involved than have
been charged.
“There are definitely other
people involved. Who they are,
we can’t prove to an evidential
standard,” he said.
Police traced the money to six
different bank accounts of Harris’
family members and friends. It
was then removed, mainly by
cash withdrawals.
Reparations are being sought
from the people who’s bank
accounts were used and they have
been charged with receiving.
All seven, including Harris,
refused to say where the money
went, and some even declined
to be formally interviewed by
police.
Said Detective Forrest: “To
date, none of them have wanted
to tell us where that money has
gone. It’s pretty obvious it has
gone from their accounts, but
where is the big question?
“It’s been withdrawn as cash.
That becomes very difficult to
trace. The obvious assumption is
that (Harris) has got it back, but
that’s as far as it goes.”
Harris obtained the money by
collecting identification details
of people online, including
driver licences and bank account
details.
He did this typically by using a
fake account and then advertising
rental accommodation or a car
for sale. He would then request
the details so that a deposit could
be made.
Those details were then used
to apply for loans from finance
company, Gem Finance, which
allows loan applications over the
phone and online.
Police were alerted to the issue
when complainants reported
their identities had been used to
obtain loans which they had not
applied for.
The size of the loans ranged
from $8000-$35,000. One loan
was able to be reversed by a
bank.
Detective Forrest said it wasn’t
entirely clear why his family and
friends got involved.
“So whether they are being
paid for the privilege of using
their bank accounts, or maybe
they were coerced, that’s the
problem, we just don’t know.
There are plenty of theories, but
we can’t go beyond speculation
because no one wants to talk to
us,” he said.
Harris denied his involvement
up until his guilty pleas last week,
which surprised police.
Said Detective Forrest: “Those
guilty pleas last week were the
first time there had been any real
acknowledgement of what he had
done, most of it was just denial.”
In March, Harris begged
Judge Farish in the district
court to not send him back to jail
for his involvement in another
scam, which targeted elderly
people.
Harris needs surgery to reduce
his weight but has been told he
will not be able to go ahead with
the surgery due to a serious heart
condition.

ENVIRONMENT Canterbury’s
Central Constituency looks likely
to be the most hotly contested in
October’s local body elections.
Independents Lan Pham and
Axel Wilke, Independent Citizens’
Evan Harris and Felicity
Price will contest the two seats
with The People’s Choice set to
put forward two candidates of
their own.
Mr Harris said he is seeking to
ease restrictions on wood burners.
But he says there is no conflict
of interest in spite of being a
director for a wood burner
manufacturing business.
In January ECan began enforcing
a rule allowing only ultra-low
emission burners to be installed
in properties less than 2ha, which
are two to three times more expensive
than low emission burners
to install at up to $9000.
Mr Harris is the director of finance
for Woodsman Fires where
they sell ultra-low and also low
emission burners.
He wanted to see the rule
changed back to what it used to
be when low emission burners
were allowed to be installed in all
properties.
Mr Harris said the rule change
has affected businesses.
“Some are doing better, some
are doing not as well,” he said.
Mr Harris said changing the
rule would not benefit his business,
but benefit the people who
can not afford the ultra-low emission
burners.
“We have now got a significant
part of the population who
look at the cost of reinstallment
and can’t afford it, so what do
they do? Do they take on massive
debt and do it? Do they not use
their fire and run up triple their
electricity bill or do they just
keep illegally using their own
burner?”
Right-leaning political group
Independent Citizens will
partner Mr Harris with the
chairwoman of the Arts Centre
Felicity Price.
Ms Price, who was a recipient
of the Queen’s honour ONZM for
saving the Court Theatre after the
2011 earthquakes, thought she
had the experience to get things
done for Christchurch.
Mr Wilke, a transport specialist
and former technical adviser
to John Key, is teaming up with

Left-leaning political group
The People’s Choice originally
intended of running Community
Action on Youth and Drugs senior
project worker Paul McMahon
and union worker Anthony
Rimell.
However, it withdrew Mr
Rimell from running for ECan
so he could challenge the city
council’s Riccarton Ward.
This came after the group was
left scrambling to find a candidate
after Vicki Buck announced
she would not be running for
re-election.
Ms Buck is a candidate the leftleaning
group would have been
relying on to help them achieve
their agenda of preventing asset
sales.
The People’s Choice president
Keir Leslie said they were hoping
to announce a candidate to
partner Mr McMahon in the near
future.
Residents still unhappy
with Northern Arterial plan
• By Claire Booker
RESIDENTS ARE unhappy
with the city council’s revised
plan to reduce traffic in St
Albans once the Northern
Arterial Motorway is built.
St Albans Residents
Association chairwoman
Emma Twaddell said the
updated plan does not do
enough to reduce congestion
and carbon emissions. She says
the city council is not showing
leadership after it declared a
climate emergency.
The controversial Downstream
Effects Management Plan was
revised after the city council
opted not to endorse it. The
original plan did not address
traffic volumes on Cranford St
which are expected to more than
double from an existing 21,000
vehicles a day to 48,000 vehicles
a day within five years.
However, some of the revised
plan’s major objectives to reduce
traffic, such as public transport
and high occupancy vehicle
lanes, have been described as
a project for the future in the
plan’s consultation document.
Residents are frustrated
because under the plan the lanes
won’t be completed by the time
the motorway extension opens
late next year.
Said Ms Twaddell: “Have they
forgotten they declared a climate
change emergency a month ago?
Where is the courage to make a
change that is urgently required to
reduce carbon emissions now?”
Said city council transport
planning and delivery manager
Lynette Ellis: “These projects are
not part of the initial package of
works we’re proposing in the St
Albans, Edgeware and Mairehau
areas, but they are part of the
big-picture approach. We have
also designed the initial package
of work to allow for bus or carpooling
lanes to be added in
when this work is complete.”
However, Ms Twaddell said
the city council needs to move
faster.
“We can’t lower our emissions
without better transport options
which allow this. But once
again, the city council is focused
on using our rate money to
accommodate single-occupant
commuter traffic and at the
detriment to many of their
residents,” she said.
City councillor Mike Davidson
said the revised plan is not perfect.
“The proposal that’s gone out
was never going to be perfect
because when you throw a
motorway into a suburb, it’s
always going to create bad
outcomes. But what we’re trying
to achieve is something good out
of it.”

Locomotive to feature in British doco
• By Georgia O’Connor-
Harding
FOR MORE than four years,
Sam Mackwell has been working
on building an environmentallysustainable
steam locomotive to
use for commuter rail.
Now he is likely to get international
coverage for his creation.
The West Melton man is
earmarked to feature on Britishmade
documentary series The
World’s Most Scenic Railway
Journeys.
Mr Mackwell is likely to be
filmed this weekend or early
next week by London-based
BriteSpark Films as part of the
company’s plans to document
the TranzAlpine which
runs from Christchurch to
Greymouth.
It will feature in one of its episodes
as part of a six-part series
for the British television network
Channel 5. So far, filming locations
have included rail journeys
in Switzerland, Spain, Norway
and Canada.
Mr Mackwell has been working
on developing a boiler for a
sustainable steam locomotive
that would burn wood rather
than coal.
He told The Star the documentary
will be a good opportunity
to introduce his new technology.
Mr Mackwell said he believes
the technology has the potential
to reduce or eliminate carbon dioxide
emissions in the future and
he hopes it will be used to pull
the TranzAlpine in the future.
“But that is a long way into the
future,” he said.
KiwiRail’s head of tourism
and marketing Ahleen Rayner
said it is working with the
company to provide access to the
TranzAlpine.
“We are pleased that our iconic
TranzAlpine service will be
shown to an international audience,”
she said.
National Geographic magazine
rated the TranzAlpine as one of
the most scenic railway journeys
in the world in 2017.
The film crew has booked to
stay in Arthur’s Pass where they
will also film the people who live
there and the world-famous keas.
The historic Arthur’s Pass and
Springfield railway stations will
also feature heavily in the documentary,
The Star understands.
Arthur’s Pass Alpine Motel
SPOTLIGHT: Sam Mackwell, who has been
building an environmentally-sustainable steam
locomotive, is likely to feature in an international
documentary on the TranzAlpine.
owner Peter Neale said the company
had booked into the motel
on Monday and Tuesday.
“I think it is awesome. It has
quite often been in the top 10
with reviews but the top six is
even more impressive,” he said.
Springfield Railway Station
Cafe leasee Heather Valphy said
she thought the filming would
take place on Saturday but it had
not been confirmed.
“They are very interested in
the Barrys Bay cheese platters
we make for the train and they
are using that as a different
perspective rather than the usual
historic take on railway trips,”
she said.
Launched in January 2013,
BriteSparks predominantly focuses
on in-depth social issues.
The film company is also
potentially planning to
document a historic locomotive
at the Canterbury Steam
Preservation Society based at
McLeans Island.

Rabbit cull
results still
weeks away
• By Sophie Cornish
HOW EFFECTIVE a cull of
rabbits in the red zone has been
will be known in several weeks.
Land Information New Zealand,
which manages the land, said all of
the carrots contaminated with the
calicivirus K5 have been consumed
since the drop late last month.
LINZ manager land and property
Matt Bradley said biosecurity
experts will survey the rabbit
numbers in late September or early
October to determine if further
control is required. The population
will be compared to a survey
carried out last year. The number
of rabbits found dead so far has
been relatively low, because they
often return to their burrows, Mr
Bradley said.
A contractor is regularly
inspecting the area to remove
any dead rabbits. “We have also
instructed our maintenance
contractors to report if they find
dead rabbits so we can have them
removed,” Mr Bradley said.
No further releases of the virus
have been scheduled yet. As part of
the management of the red zone,
LINZ is legally required under the
Canterbury Regional Pest Control
Strategy to reduce rabbit and pest
numbers when they get too high.

TRADITIONALLY 50th
anniversaries are celebrated
with gold, but a badminton
club has used ice to mark the
occasion – and lots of it.
When a contingent of 23
players from Lincoln headed
to Franz Josef to celebrate the
club’s 50th anniversary, the
original plan was to only play
badminton in the town’s hall.
However, that quickly
changed after a phone call
between Lincoln club captain
John Morrish and Franz Josef
player Graham Berry. The idea
of taking advantage of some
‘local rates’ to go up the glacier
via helicopter was raised by
Berry before things skyrocketed.
“I said: ‘We can take a
badminton racket and have a hit
up there,” said Morrish.
After a short pause, Graham
said: “That’s a great idea. Leave
it to me.”
With enthusiastic support
from Franz Josef Glacier Guides,
Tourism Westland and local
helicopter operators, the joke
became a reality.
It was decided Morrish and
Adam Thomas would represent
Canterbury, while Berry and
Adrian Waters would represent
South Westland in the first ever
provincial game of badminton

on the glacier.
Guides went up in the
morning and flattened off an
area half the size of a standard
badminton court. The four
players then abseiled down to
the court before putting up a
net.
“If you were playing at one
end you had to be tethered with
an ice screw and a short rope,
so you couldn’t disappear at
the end of the court. If you did
you wouldn’t come back,” said
Morrish.

FORMER Christchurch Boys’
High School cyclist Bailey
O’Donnell’s gamble on himself
appears to be paying off as
he won his first road race in
Europe.
The 18-year-old is in the midst
of a two-month stint racing on
the roads of Belgium, an opportunity
organised by former
New Zealand cyclist Hayden
Roulston.
O’Donnell said he would use
the opportunity to try to make
the most of his talent while
he could, but he has also been
doing some part-time building
work back in Christchurch.
O’Donnell won a 100km race,
often referred to as a kermesse,
in Deinze, west of Flanders.
He is racing for a small
under-23 Belgium team and is
loving the experience.
“Belgium is pretty much the
home of road cycling in the
world, I think it’s the biggest
sport here after soccer.
“They have many different
kinds of races on every day of
the week in different areas, people
come from all over the world
to race here.

Road race win worth the gamble
“They close the whole town
down for the race and every one
from that town comes out to
watch and also there is always a
carnival on at the same time.”
O’Donnell said he saw an opportunity
to take control of the
race and took it.
YOUNG, SUCCESSFUL
& on the move
“I decided to race a lot more
aggressive than I have been and
put myself in to the red a lot
more than usual,” he said.

OPINION 21
Fournier and the turbulent 1990s
From the
editor’s desk
Barry Clarke
SWAIN: Left – in the early
90s. Right – During his
murder trial in 2015.
THE UNTIMELY death
of lawyer Tim Fournier
has rekindled a period of
Christchurch’s criminal history
– the turbulent early 1990s.
Fournier, who died from a fall
in his office, was defence lawyer
for Neil Raymond Swain, in
my view the closest thing to an
urban terrorist we have seen –
the March 15 mosque attacks
aside.
He was the key figure in a
reign of terror in Christchurch,
almost certainly prompted by
the police investigation into a
gang at the time – the Harrises.
Fournier was also a defence
lawyer for members of the gang
when they came before the
courts on other matters.
Police were never able to prove
Swain carried out his crimes for,
or as a result of, the crackdown.
He lived by the code of omertà –
the Mafia word for silence.
His crimes included the nail
bombing of the Sydenham police
station, torching a prosecution
witness’ house and breaking into
a policeman’s house and trying
to burn it down.
Fournier defended Swain
admirably but the weight of
evidence was against him:
Electoral rolls with the names of
police and other potential targets
were found in a lock-up he had
hired, he made notes and drew
maps and collected information,
all which fell into the hands of
the police when he was arrested.
The case got huge publicity at
the time.
The bombing of the police
station may well have been the
start of a long terror campaign if
Swain had not have been arrested
– and that was by chance.
He and another armed cooffender
(who has never been
identified) tried to hold up the
Ferrymead Tavern late one night.
But they were thwarted by a staff
member who locked the door
when she saw them coming.
Swain and his co-offender ran,
but Swain had an injured leg
and surrendered to a policeman
despatched to the area. The other
robber got away.
That arrest led police to
a rented lock-up in Upper
Riccarton where nine sticks of
gelignite, detonators, detonator
cord and vehicles were found.
Two sticks of gelignite had been
partly prepared as an explosive
device.
It was the breakthrough they
desperately needed. There was
almost an air of panic coming
from the central police station
in Hereford St – particularly
after an abandoned vehicle
carrying explosives stolen
from a mining site on the West
Coast had crashed en route to
Christchurch.
Police were aware that other
explosives had made it safely to
Christchurch – what was to have
been their use?
When Swain was sentenced,
almost all of the Christchurch
CIB was there to see him sent
down. He was jailed for 12 years.
A complex character, he lived
two lives. He held a steady job
and was regarded as a top worker
by his boss. There was nothing to
alert those close to him what he
was up to.
He also had a sense of fair play
– at times.
When he set the prosecution
witness’ house on fire, she told
him her dog was in the house.
(Swain and his still unidentified
co-offender had taken the
woman and her partner out at
gunpoint).
He went back into the burning
house and rescued the dog.
•Swain was paroled after
serving five and a half years.
He is currently back in prison,
serving a life sentence for the
murder of a man in the North
Island in 2015. As he was sent
down he addressed the judge:
“Well your honour, for once I am
innocent but found guilty . . .”

OPINION
The coming week in our history
August 8, 1915 – The high
point of the New Zealand
effort at Gallipoli, the attack
on Chunuk Bair underlined
the leadership qualities of
Lieutenant-Colonel William
Malone. Two columns of
the New Zealand Infantry
Brigade carried out the attack,
which began on August 6.
The operation started well,
but delays meant not all the
infantrymen had reached
Rhododendron Spur by the
time the assault on the summit
started next morning. After the
Auckland Battalion tried and
failed, Malone insisted that the
Wellingtons’ attack should be
delayed until after nightfall.
August 9, 1930 – George
Nepia, 25, played his last game
for the All Blacks, the final game
of the home series against the
British Lions. The All Blacks
won the match 22–8 to clinch
the series 3–1. Nepia was one
of the stars of the 1924–25 All
Blacks, dubbed the ‘Invincibles’.
He played in all 32 matches on
the team’s tour of the British
Isles, France and Canada.
August 10, 1840 – The
British asserted authority over
Akaroa before HMS Britomart
arrived at Akaroa, a week before
a shipload of French colonists
landed there. The ship’s captain
raised the Union Jack to confirm
British sovereignty over the area.
In 1838 the commander of the
French whaling ship Cachalot
made a dubious land purchase
from Māori on Banks Peninsula.
The Nanto-Bordelaise Company
was formed in France with the
goal of establishing a settlement
at Akaroa. In 1839 King
Louis-Philippe agreed to provide
assistance. Captain Charles
François Lavaud, the French
representative for the settlement,
sailed for New Zealand in April
1840. A month later, the Comte
de Parisset set off for Akaroa
carrying 53 emigrants.
August 13, 2005 - New
Zealand’s youngest prime
minister of the
20th-century,
David Lange,
died aged 63.
Renowned for
his sharp wit
and oratory, he
led the fourth
Labour government from 1984
to 1989.
August 14, 2011 – New
Zealand’s heaviest snowfall in
decades closed airports and
schools, forced the cancellation
of buses and trains, caused
electricity blackouts and cut off
many communities across the
country.
Judge has duty to protect public
Readers respond to a
decision by Judge Raoul
Neave not to impose
a prison sentence on
Marcel Sydney Geros
(right) after another
cowardly attack on a
vulnerable individual
Peter F Coleman – Judge
Raoul Neave’s statements point
to either, his own “creative”
solution, or a lax, jaundiced,
socialist justice system, or both.
If he expected there might be
a backlash in his decision on
sentencing Marcel Geros, then
perhaps the majority of people
know what the correct decision
should be.
He is turning his back on
vulnerable people in our
community, and if there is
no backlash, there should be.
However, I suspect, many
have become apathetic to judicial
decisions using restorative
techniques that emphasise
leniency at the expense of
victims, and their family. Setting
him free, albeit with supervision,
still allows the distinct
possibility of more assaults to be
committed.
It is ridiculous that the judge
thinks that imprisonment and
post-release conditions will do
nothing to address community
safety issues.
If he is jailed for these vicious
assaults, surely ordinary lawabiding
citizens can feel safe for
the time he is away. This judge
has a duty to protect the public
from serious bodily attacks.
Deliberate neglect of his duty
to his fellow citizens effectively
means he should resign.
Gary Tibbotts: It’s obvious
the good judge does not
remember Louisa Damodran
and Peter Holdem. Too late
afterwards saying I didn’t know
what to do when some wife or
husband lose their loved one.
Thinking outside the square
is fine, but it doesn’t involve
stupidity.
Roy Sinclair –
Congratulations on the opinion
piece in last week’s The Star.
Geros had already served a
lengthy prison term for other
crimes that obviously did him, or
society, little good.
Obviously, another approach
was an option. I have a colleague
who worked for the parole
board, he told me there is a small
number of hapless cases in the
prison system. Those are beyond
help. But he has seen some
remarkable turnarounds – some
from violent offenders.

OUR PEOPLE
Master farrier keeps his foot in the
Brian Wilson, 85, is a
name anyone in the
horse racing industry will
recognise. The former
farrier can still be found
at Riccarton as the club’s
plating inspector. On
Saturday, race three in the
Grand National Festival
of Racing’s first event
was named ‘Brian Wilson
51 years a farrier’ in his
honour. Gordon Findlater
catches up with him
Can you remember the first
time you shoed a horse?
I would have been 14 or 15 on
the West Coast and one of the
guys that did have a horse was
Jock Butterfield, who played for
the Kiwis, and he wanted to put
some shoes on this horse, so they
gave me some tools and to this
day I feel sorry for the horse.
That was my first experience of
shoeing a horse.
What was it like growing up
on the West Coast back then?
I quite enjoyed it, but there
wasn’t a great future. You worked
in the forestry or the bush as we
called it, or the mines. I came
over here in 1951 and that’s
when I really got involved in
the horses. My brother was an
apprentice jockey, so I thought,
STILL SHARP: Farrier Brian Wilson plies his trade as the plating inspector at Riccarton on
race days.
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
well, I’ll see how I go, but it
wasn’t to be.
How did you become a farrier
in Christchurch?
When I was apprenticed, I lived
in Rangiora and my boss had
horses trained in Christchurch
here at Riccarton. That was Bob
Wilson and his son Bobby was
the farrier there, so I had to spend
time with him and virtually
followed through the entire way.
The Wilsons were no relation, but
they were close friends. So that’s
how I got into the trade.
How has the industry
changed since you started?
You don’t have the same
blacksmiths work as you did in
the past. You had to make all
your own shoes out of bar steel.
It was all physical. You can buy
all these shoes already made
today and on top of that the
steel companies don’t import
steel because there’s not enough
demand because we’ve got such
a great range of factory made
shoes.
What did the average day
look like when you started?
I would make shoes from
about 6.30am until 8am and
then have breakfast. Then I’d
go out because you had to travel
to various places, you went to
the property they were on or
I’d go to the stables if they were
training here at Riccarton.
Do you have a favourite horse
you’ve been a farrier for?
My favourite horse overall was
a horse called Commissionaire.
He was the top weight-for-age
horse in New Zealand at the
time. He was something special.
I think he could have just about
put his own shoes on.
What do you think made him
special?
He just had so much presence.
All good horses have good head
pieces, you never see a mad
champion.

industry after 51 years on the horse
What’s one of the oddest jobs
you’ve done during your time?
I had one new client and I met
him at the track on a Tuesday
morning and I shoed his horse
up there. I must have done it
about three times and he rang
once and asked, ‘can you come
to my stables’ and I said ‘yes,
whereabouts are you?’ He said
‘up Buchanans Rd’. So I go past
the number and it’s just a state
house and I thought what’s
wrong here. Anyway, I decided
to check it out, so I knocked on
the door and his wife came out.
I said where are your stables?
She said around the back. I went
around the back and there was
the horse in its stables, which
was a rotary clothes line and a
wood shed.
When did you stop working
full-time?
Five years ago I finished at
Addington after being there for
more than 20 years. I’ve now cut
right back down. I still get asked
the odd time to do some special
shoes. I’ve virtually retired, other
than a few ponies I trip.
What do you enjoy doing
with your spare time now?
I love gardening and I play
indoor bowls on Monday
afternoons for the Irish Society.
We also do a little bit of houseminding
for friends that have
horses and can’t get away for
a holiday because they’re on a
lifestyle block.
I’ve been told they call you
iron grip because you have an
incredibly strong handshake. Is
that correct?
Yes, it’s just one of those
things, I don’t realise I’m
gripping another person’s hand
so hard. The friends you haven’t
caught up with for some time,
they can be a bit tentative to put
their hand out to you.
In your younger days you
competed in rodeo. How did
you get into that?
HOLD
ON: Brian
Wilson
rides a
bucking
horse
during a
rodeo at
Rangiora
in the
1950s.
It was actually at a race
meeting in Westport. There was
a two-day meeting over there,
and on the Sunday, they had a
rodeo out of Cape Foulwind.
They had a big bull called
Pinocchio and the owner put
up £25 – that was back in the
1950s and was a lot of money
– if anybody could ride him.
Anyhow, I did ride him so I got
my 25 quid and that was almost
a year’s wages.
How long did you do that for?
I did that for about five years.
I stopped when I met my wife
Andrea and we got engaged, I
thought it was a bit of a risk.
What’s been your trick to
remaining actively involved as a
farrier at your age?
Well, I still get on the bike.
It’s 1.2km around the park. I
alternate a bit between walking
and biking around the park.
Did you do a lot of cycling
when you were young?
I was only a school boy, but
on a Saturday there was a cash
cycling club on the West Coast
and I won a number of races. The
big one was Jack Davidson. He
had the Australasian Hotel and
was the racing man. We had the
Davidson Cup for most points
over the year and I remember
getting beaten by one point.
When did you find out there
was going to be a race named
after you?
They told me early in the
week that they would be
having a race named after me,
but I never knew that they were
going to have a presentation as
well. It was magnificent and such
a thrill.

Little interest in
community building
• By Jess Gibson
AN EMPTY building available
for lease at the old Redcliffs
School site has struggled to
gain interest from community
groups.
Redcliffs Residents’
Association chairwoman
Christine Toner sent out more
than 200 emails to help the
city council find a group which
wants to lease the building.
However, after very few
expressions of interest, the
association wants to form
either a new sub-committee or
independent group to lease and
manage it.
The modern building, which
is owned by the city council,
has four rooms and opens out
on to a courtyard overlooking
Redcliffs Park and playing fields.
“It’s such a good building and
I’m sure eventually people will
realise it’s too good to pass up,”
said Ms Toner.
She said the association does
not have an interest in leasing or
managing the building itself.
“It’s still important that it’s
managed locally. We don’t want
a commercial user or somebody
far away being in charge of the
building, that’s why I’m stepping
up and trying to organise this.”
City council head of parks
EMPTY: The Redcliffs
Residents’ Association wants
the empty council-owned
building at the old Redcliffs
School site to be managed
by a community group or
organisation.
Andrew Rutledge said staff are
currently conducting an open
expression of interest process to
find occupants for the building.
The occupants would be
expected to have a building
manager who would oversee
bookings, insurance, security
and cleaning, among other
things.
A meeting will be held on
August 16 at the building
for residents, groups and
organisations to learn more.
Once that has been completed
a further request for proposals
will follow, with the results
and lease recommendations
then presented to the Linwood-
Central-Heathcote Community
Board for a final decision.

Highs and lows of travel
AS I SAID in my last column,
we’ve travelled to Italy so Vittoria
can meet the family. And what a
journey it’s been.
Before we even left, Vittoria
caused her parents a heap of stress
with her first ambulance trip to
the emergency department, starting
on a course of antibiotics for
pneumonia, setting us back a day
on doctor’s orders.
It sounds bad, and it wasn’t
ideal, but it was all okay apart
from unsettling our sleep patterns.
So we were lucky, our pre-dawn
flight on Saturday went swimmingly.
Vittoria was happy to nap,
draw or watch cartoons all the
way to Brisbane where we stayed a
night with my sister-in-law Sarah.
The only niggle was that she
leaked on me because her nappy
was askew but, like for most parents
I think, that’s a non-event.
It looked like either the antibiotics
or time were working a treat
on Vittoria, so we were quietly
confident going into the 14-hour
leg to Dubai on Sunday night.
And again, it went pretty good.
Fourteen uneventful hours.
Arriving in Dubai we were all
tired, dishevelled, probably smelly
and definitely over trying to sleep
in an aircraft seat with a fidgety
toddler. Between us and relaxation,
were only four hours in an
airport and a six-hour flight. Easy
right? Spoiler alert – no.
Our luck ran out 20 minutes before
boarding started for our flight
to Venice when Vittoria vomited
all over the floor in the middle
of a packed terminal. And a little
on my shirt and shoes. Honestly,
what’s the protocol for that?
I just floundered in surprise for
a bit until Laura went into nurse
mode and sent me off to clean
Vittoria up while she “dealt with
it” in the splash zone.
Once we were as “fresh” as possible
and a suddenly exhausted
toddler crying in my arms, we
made our way to the gate where
we were told we could get Vittoria
checked up for free at the airport
clinic and wouldn’t miss our flight.
However, once the “ambulance”
arrives (literally a push trolley)
we were told that a full check at
the clinic might make us miss our
flight – great.
With all the vitals coming back
healthy, and Vittoria totally out to
it asleep, I was offered a difficult
choice; do further checks and
miss the flight or sign a waiver
saying “refused treatment” and
that if it gets worse it’s all on you.
Although I was confident to
sign away and just get to the flight
so we could be done with it, I felt
terrible anyway. So for three long
VITTORIA
& Matt
CONFIDENT: In Dubai,
unaware of what was
coming next.
and stressful hours of the last flight
we thought of all the worst things
it could be – dehydration, gastro,
some sort of never-wake-up disease.
And what does Vittoria do when
she finally wakes up? Sits up, laughs
and becomes the flight staff’s
darling by running laps around the
plane with a huge grin on her face
for the duration of the flight.
Anyway, we’re in Italy now and
ready for family time.

having the benefit of specialist teaching areas such
as the Science labs, Hard Materials workshop,
Gymnasium, Theatre and Food Technology room.
Work has begun on a new three-story teaching
block which will be completed next year. This
will provide a modern learning environment for
our students to complement our already excellent
facilities. Being situated in the central city also
means the CBD is within easy reach for teaching
opportunities.
Parents have found that starting at Year 7
facilitates a smoother transition to High School as
students are already familiar with the time-table,
school facilities and the Staff.
There are many opportunities for your child to
get fully immersed in school life. We have strong
Cultural Groups such as Kapa haka, Pasifika
and Filipino, a wide range of sports on offer and
a thriving Music and Drama Department. Our
Intermediate students enjoyed being part of
our recent School Production of ‘High School
Musical’.
Catholic Cathedral College has a great academic
track record and our NCEA results are well above
the National average. Our fees are reasonable, we
are not zoned and we welcome Catholic students
from Years 7 – 13. We are in fact, the best-kept
secret in town. Enrolments are currently open.

GARDENING ADVICE
Today’s winning question came
from Glen Parker. Congratulations!
What is wrong with my poor
lemon tree and what can I do
Q about it? It looks terrible!
A
From the photo you supplied, it looks like you have a fungus problem known as
sooty mould which is caused by scale and/or other sucking insects and is
a common problem on citrus. Carefully inspect your tree; especially the
undersides of the leaves and you will see small scale insects adhered
to the leaf. These insects suck the sap out of leaves, producing
a sticky sweet substance called honey dew which attracts the growth of
sooty mould (the black mould you see on the leaves). This mould can
cover much of the leaves, reducing the plant’s ability to photosynthesise,
affecting growth and fruit production.
To treat the problem; kill the insects by spraying them with a good
quality horticultural oil - good coverage is important, particularly on
the undersides of leaves. Once the insects are dead and there is no
more “food” for sooty mould to grow on, it will begin to disappear.
Healthy trees are less prone to pests and diseases so regular
watering, feeding and attention is important. Citrus are ‘gross
feeders’ so apply Daltons Garden Time Fruit & Citrus
Fertiliser just outside the tree’s ‘drip line’ (directly under the outer
circumference of the tree’s branches), at six-weekly intervals from
late October to early December, recommencing late February through
to early April.

SINGER MAX Aldridge’s arrival into the
world wasn’t without complications.
Within 24 hours of his birth, he began
suffering from pneumonia which turned
into blood poisoning and advanced
meningitis. It left him suffering seizures,
causing permanent brain damage and
affecting the left side of his body.
In spite of his rough start,
Aldridge has been able to live
a normal life due to an early
intervention programme from
The Champion Centre, which
retrained his brain.
Now the 17-year-old is about
to sing in a concert on Saturday
to raise money for the centre and
support the “amazing” work it
does to help children.
About 50 artists will feature
in the Blackboard Theatre
Collective concert, He Says She
Says, which aims to raise $5000 for the
centre.
Aldridge, who is a student at Burnside
High School, will perform It Means
Beautiful from the musical Everybody’s
Talking About Jamie.
Director Jeremy Hinman said the
collective, which was started last year,
aims to put on an annual fundraising
concert.
He said several of its performers have a
connection to the centre so it was a “nobrainer”
to fundraise for the charity.
“It is something that is quite special to
us and quite dear to our hearts with the
work they do,” Hinman said.
Aldridge said his experiences have
helped him develop an understanding
Jeremy
Hinman
THEATRE/ARTS
that “life is short and we must make the
most of it.”
His main goal is to help people and he
wants to study psychiatry at university.
Aldridge’s mother Carmen said the
centre’s support during their traumatic
time was massive and she will be
“forever grateful.”
Hinman, who is passionate
about establishing “queer theatre”
in the city, said many of the songs
in the concert will resonate with
the LGBTQIA+ community.
It will involve artists covering
songs from musicals originally
written for the opposite gender.
This includes a woman singing
If I Can’t Love Her from Beauty
and the Beast – an emotionallycharged
song about the frustrations of
being in love – which is typically sung by
a man.
“There are lots of interesting dynamics
you get from that sort of thing,” Hinman
said.
Last year the collective organised a
concert with a similar format to raise
money to launch the company and cover
its start-up costs.
Hinman said the concert on Saturday
will be an opportunity to engage different
facets of the theatre community and work
towards a good cause.
•He Says She Says will be
performed at The Piano: Centre
for Music and the Arts. To book

UPSIDE DOWN
MANDARIN, APPLE AND
LEMON CAKE
Ingredients
Fruit stew
2-3 medium braeburn apples,
peeled, de-seeded and chopped
6-8 mandarins in slices
Juice from half a lemon
4 Tbsp honey
3-4 cloves
3cm stick of cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg powder
1 cup water
3-4 Tbsp sugar
For the batter
2 1/4 cups flour – mix of whole
wheat and all-purpose flour
1/2 cup oil or cold unsalted
butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
2 eggs
2 1/2 tsp baking powder

Caramel
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
Directions
First clean and cut the fruit.
Keep aside about half an apple
sliced for the final presentation
of the cake. Similarly keep a
batch of mandarin slices too. The
rest can go into the stew.

and the other for mixing the wet
and dry constituents together.
In the larger mixing bowl, first
measure the oil, when using oil.
Then add sugar and beat them.
To the buttered sugar add the

before the other follows. By now

the mix will be a deep yellow due
to the yolks.
Now bring the dry and wet
together. Start by adding a
spoonful of the flour mix to the
egg and oil. Followed by milk.
Beat. Continue in the same
order. About halfway through
with the flour and milk, add
the fruits. Mix in well, and then
finish off with the remaining
flour and milk. In order to make
sure the consistency of the batter
doesn’t get too watery, you can
cut back on the milk.
Now is the time to bake. But
first lay out a few slices of apple
and mandarin at the base for the
upside down part of the cake.
Caramelize sugar to pour over
the sliced fruit. Caramelisation is
easy, just put sugar in a clean pan
and heat it up. As it heats, the
sugar will slowly at first turn into
a liquid and then very rapidly
turn a warm, brown colour.
Don’t get it too far down that
path, otherwise it will give off
a charred flavour. Caramelised
sugar needs to be poured
warm, because as soon as it hits
anything cool, even air, it stiffens
and crystallises back.
Finally pour in the prepared
batter and put the pan into the
oven. Bake for 25min. Check
around the 20min mark by
inserting a clean knife, toothpick
or a skewer into the cake. If the
instrument comes out wet or
has batter stuck at its tip then
the cake needs to sit in for a few
more minutes.
Once cool, turn it upside down
and see the result.

Striker in pursuit of a

On Sale Now
www.selwynsounds.co.nz
• By Gordon Findlater
NOT SO LONG ago Greg
Draper was finding the back
of the net for Cashmere High
School and Ferrymead Bays,
Now he’s scoring UEFA
Champions League goals and
is even being compared to the
biggest names in football.
Draper, 29, has spent the last
eight years playing for The New
Saints in Wales. In that time
he has collected eight Welsh
Premier League medals, won the
Welsh Cup five times, the League
Cup four times and has won two
consecutive Golden Boot awards
as the league’s top scorer.
Remarkably, last year Draper
played just 1032min of his side’s
2880min WPL season, but still
finished top scorer with 27
goals. He scored a league goal on
average every 38min last season,
a better strike rate than Lionel
Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and
Mo Salah.
“It’s been talked about a lot.
There was a BBC story here
recently where they compared it
to their goalscoring ratios, which
was a little bit embarrassing
when you get compared to the
standard they’re playing at versus
the standard I’m playing at, but I
say it’s probably the hardest thing
to do in football – score goals –
no matter what level you’re playing
at,” said Draper.
His club are also holders of an
even more impressive record.
In 2016 TNS created worldwide
news by winning 27 consecutive
matches, breaking Ajax’s 44-
year world record for the most
consecutive wins set in 1972 at a
time when the Dutch club were
dominating European football
with the likes of Johan Cruyff
and Johan Neeskens.
Europe is also the stage on
which Draper and TNS are now
looking to prove themselves.
Last week TNS were
eliminated in the second round
GOAL MACHINE: Greg Draper converted a penalty to help
TNS defeat Kosovo club Feronikeli in the first qualifying
round of the UEFA Champions League last month. ​
of the Champions League
qualifying stage by Dutch club
FC København. Tomorrow TNS
take on Bulgarian champions
Ludogorets Razgrad. A win
would set up a tie with Maribor
of Slovenia or Norwegian side
Rosenborg, with a spot in the
group stage of the Europa League
on the line.
If they reach the group stage
they could face European giants
like Manchester United, Arsenal,
Roma, Sevilla and Lazio.
“Having the qualifiers each
year you get to go to some
countries you probably otherwise
wouldn’t get to go to. I’ve loved
every minute of it,” he said.
“The best one we had was when
we went to play Legia Warsaw
in Poland, there must have been
around 30,000 people there . . .
we’ve been to some pretty grim
places as well, like the Faroe
Islands. There’s literally nothing
there.”
When TNS kick-off their
league campaign later this
month, Draper will be hoping to
claim his third straight Golden
Boot trophy. However, he’s
hoping a new one will finally
help him to create a pair after
receiving two left-footed boots.

“The funny thing is everyone
knows I don’t have a left foot,
it’s only good for standing on.
Maybe they’re just trying to wind
me up,” said Draper.
Another stand out season for
Draper would also likely see him
become TNS’s all-time leading
goalscorer. Draper has currently
scored 134 league goals for TNS
– 19 behind the record.
Internationally, Draper
represented New Zealand at age
group level and at senior level.
However, he appears to have
fallen off the radar in recent
times.
“If anyone gave me the call
then I’d be straight there, but to
be honest, I haven’t had contact
since 2012 when I was part of
the under-23 qualifiers. I haven’t
heard anything, so maybe they
think the Welsh League isn’t
a high enough standard to be
considered. There’s a lot of lads
now playing at a much higher
level, but you never know,” said
Draper.
While the striker hasn’t
visited Christchurch since
2012 he still has ties to the city.
His younger brother Jamie is
currently playing as a striker for
Ferrymead Bays.

the match to confirm a spot in
next week’s semi-finals.
After a patchy start to the
season, which included a 12-40
loss to St Thomas’, CBHS have
turned their season around with
impressive recent wins over
St Bede’s College, St Andrew’s
College and Rangiora High
School.
“At the start of the season,
we didn’t really know our
brand of rugby . . . last year
we had a few bigger bodies,
but now we’ve realised we’re a
small, skilful team we’ve found
our style. I think that’s what
changed the season around,”
said Hughes.
Two other matches on
Saturday will help shape what
is a wide open final day race
for a semi-final spot. Only high
flying Nelson College (55pts) are
assured of remaining in the top
four.
If fifth-placed Christ’s College
(43pts) are able to get a bonus
point win over Timaru Boys’
High at noon then secondplaced
St Andrew’s (48pts)
will need to secure at least one
point from their trip to play
third-placed St Bede’s (47pts)
at 2.45pm. A loss for St Bede’s
could also see them slip outside
the top four.
•The UC Championship final
is set to be played at Rugby Park
or Trafalgar Park in Nelson,
depending on which team is the
top seed.

• By Gordon Findlater
A PASSION for rugby league is
still well and truly alive in one
on Canterbury’s most prolific
players through the 1990s.
Aaron Whittaker, 51, is the
junior vice president and is also
on the senior committees at
the Currumbin Eagles club on
the Gold Coast. He can even
be found strapping the club’s A
grade players before kick-off on
Saturdays. Remarkably he was
still running on for the team as
recently as three years ago when
he played in one of his most
memorable matches.
“They were struggling at the
time, so I played a few games
. . . my son Jackson was 18 at the
time and playing a grade, so I got
the privilege to play alongside
him,” said Whittaker.
“It was a pretty proud moment
that’s for sure.”
In the prime of his playing days
the halfback won the Pat Smith
Trophy six times – four with the
Halswell Hornets and two with
the Riccarton Knights. He was
a key cog in Frank Endacott’s
Canterbury team of the 1990s.
In 1993 he scored seven tries in
eight games to help Canterbury
win the national competition
which included a famous 36-12
thrashing of Auckland in the
grand final in front of 10,000
people at Addington Showgrounds.
Whittaker also scored
a try in Canterbury’s 18-10 defeat
of Great Britain in 1990.
Whittaker’s performance at
club and provincial level earned
him a number of caps with the
Kiwis. He was part of the Kiwis’
squad to tour Britain and France
in 1993 and the tour of Papua
New Guinea in 1994. He says
representing New Zealand is one
of his greatest memories and
describes himself as being “lucky
to sneak in between legends like
Gary Freeman and Stacey Jones.”
“I just find myself very fortunate
to be able to don the black and
white jersey . . . you bleed black
and white. You put that jersey on
and you just seem to turn into a
superhero,” said Whittaker.
Things could have panned out
differently for Whittaker. As a
teenager he was also a formidable
tennis player. He represented
Canterbury and played national
age group tournaments before
deciding to concentrate on league
as a 16-year-old.
great beer,
great food and
great service
Part of that decision may have
been influenced by a dusting up
he received at Wilding Park by
one of his future Kiwi teammates.
“I actually ended up playing
against Matthew Ridge at one
tournament. He was a very good
tennis player in his day. He
cleaned me up,” said Whittaker.
In 1988 Whittaker played
his debut season for Halswell’s
premier side which went onto
win the Pat Smith Trophy by
defeating Marist-Western 24-12.
The 2002 final saw Whittaker
smash two Canterbury Rugby
League records, for most points
and most tries in a final. He
scored five tries and 32 points in
the Riccarton’s 54-14 win over
the Linwood Keas.
Whittaker says some of his
most gruelling individual matchups
came during his early club
years against players he went
onto become teammates with in
Canterbury.
“I always had my tussles and
we’d become great mates off the
field and after rugby league. One
of those guys was Mark Nixon.
I always had great tussles with
him, and even guys like Shane Te
Huia,” said Whittaker.
He believes that ability of club
rivals to come together in red
and black played a pivotal role in
Canterbury’s success at the time.
“Even though we played
against each other in club footy,
we had camaraderie and came
together to do it for each other.
great bevvies
PROLIFIC:
Aaron
Whittaker
played in
a Warriors
trial
match at
Lancaster
Park in
1996.
Frank (Endacott) had us humming,”
said Whittaker.
The team were also partial to
the odd prank. While in a training
camp Whittaker remembers
a player leaving their accommodation
to visit family. While
he was away the players filled a
condom with condensed milk
which they then left planted on
the player’s bed.
“He came back and then went
down to Frank [Endacott] and he
said Frank, look what someone’s
left on my bed this is not good
enough . . . so Frank went and got
the condom and put his finger in
the condensed milk because he
was in on it as well. He took a bit
of a lick on his finger and he said
well it isn’t mine.”
In 1996 Whittaker was
reunited with Endacott when he
captained the Auckland Warriors
reserve grade side to the 1996
grand final, scoring a try and two
goals in a 12-14 loss to Cronulla.
With Endacott taking over
the first-grade reins midway
through 1997, Whittaker made
his premiership debut by coming
off the bench in a late-season win
over Adelaide. In 1998 Whittaker
started for six straight rounds in
the NRL.
After his playing days
Whittaker coached at Halswell
and also refereed in Christchurch
at junior and premier level. He
has lived on the Gold Coast since
2009 and recently purchased a
Jim’s Mowing franchise.

Will Willi still go
to the box kick?
AS A PROUD Cantabrian I
should be stoked that Willi
Heinz, who played more than 50
matches for both the Crusaders
and Canterbury appears to
be one step closer to making
England’s squad for the Rugby
World Cup.
The 32-year-old has survived
the latest cut from England
coach Eddie Jones, who named
Heinz in his 33-man-squad
ahead of their upcoming World
Cup warm-up match against
Wales on Monday.
Unfortunately, my brain is yet
to block out the memories
of his execution of
the worst option in all
of rugby – the box kick
– and single-handily
handing the Waratahs
the title in an ill-fated
2014 Super Rugby final
whenever I think of
Heinz.
Most who recount
the 32-33 loss in Sydney will
point to the 78th-minute penalty
given away by Richie Mc-
Caw which gave the Waratahs
the penalty kick which would
see them win the game. It’s one
of the only chinks people will
point out in the All Black and
Crusaders armour. However, the
blame should never have been
thrown at Richie. We need to
put the record straight . . . let’s
rewind.
On the 75-minute mark
the Waratahs lead 30-29, but
concede a penalty. Kieran Read
points towards the sticks and
Colin Slade slots an easy three
points to give the Crusaders a
32-30 lead.
From here the Crusaders
retain possession at the kick-off.
Their world-class forward pack
hold onto possession
for the final four
minutes and Todd

Blackadder is remembered as
true legend by everyone after
winning the Super Rugby title
as a coach . . . we’ll that’s at least
what we thought was going to
happen.
In reality, Jimmy Tupou
gathers from the restart before
every television set the upper
South Island is subject to a hurl
of abuse as Heinz makes the
absurd decision to box kick. Not
only that, it goes out on the full
giving the Waratahs an attacking
line-out in the Crusaders
half.
However, in the 77thminute
Sam Whitelock
comes to the rescue and
wins the line-out. We’re
left thinking: “Yes, this is
our night,” but Heinz has
other idea . . . he once
again goes to the box
kick and gives possession
away for the second time
in less than a minute.
This time he keeps it in the field
of play, but presents Kurtley
Beale with an easy gather without
pressure – a better gift than
any coke dealer in Sydney could
offer the Wallaby. The Waratahs
go onto win a penalty out of
McCaw and the rest is history.
Should England fans fear for
the same kind of mind explosion?
In a recent interview with The
Daily Telegraph in Britain Heinz
said: “I didn’t box kick a whole
lot back in Canterbury and
with the Crusaders… I learned
pretty quickly that you’ve got to
have a decent box kick up in the
Premiership.”
Good luck with making the
World Cup squad Willie, if you
run into the All Blacks at some
stage go to the trusty box kick.

Dressing your
property up for sale
Your house is on the market and you hope to get a good price. While
market performance will largely influence this, presenting your home
at its best will help.
First impressions count from the
moment potential buyers view a
property from the street to the moment
they walk through the front door.
Weed the garden, cut back unruly
shrubs and prune trees where needed.
Kill off weeds in the lawn, sprinkle grass
seed over bald patches and fertilise the
lawn.
Indoors, tidy up. Get rid of excess
or bulky furniture, toys, books, hobby
items or fitness equipment and if too
many photos on the wall pack these
away so the home looks roomy.
If there is a gap or a room needs
enhancing, look at what you have. A
piece of furniture might be painted up
or an old leather bound book popped
on the coffee table. Shelves will also add
depth to a narrow space while mirrors
may give the illusion of a larger space. In
entryways, add an easy chair, small table,
bookcase or large vase.
Awkward spaces such as coved
ceilings in attics or upstairs rooms might
be converted into storage shelving and
the room given a purpose as an office,
playroom or extra bedroom so viewers
can see how the room might be used.
Stow possessions neatly in containers,
shelving or tidily in cupboards;
highlighting the storage potential within
the home, ensuring it is clean and tidy
for viewing at any time.
Move the pets outside as not all buyers
will be pet lovers while some may suffer
pet allergies putting them off a house if
they see a pet inside.

NEW LISTINGS
consider renovating by painting walls,
replacing worn carpet, or modernising
the kitchen, bathroom and toilet;
rooms that should sparkle. Replace
tired cabinetry, or the benches and
cupboard/drawer fronts then update old
toilets, showers or kitchen appliances.
Modernising these rooms can lift the
final selling price.
Use consistent and light paint
colours throughout for balance and
seamlessness, making the house appear
more spacious. An effect that is increased
when walls and curtains share the same
or a similar colour.
Consider the personality and purpose
of a room. Bright colours lift living areas
especially if large and open. However,
bedrooms are suited to calmer softer
colours with just a touch of bold. Layer
bedding or use throws for effect along
with cushions or a stuffed toy in a
children’s room.
With curtaining, smaller patterns
or plain fabrics are the rule for smaller
rooms whereas larger patterns make
spacious areas cosier. If blinds or drapes
are past their best, replace these even if it
is only with neutral cotton curtains. The
effect will be worth it.
Eco-friendly features will also add
value for some buyers though not
universally, however earthy natural
colours and features are popular.
Consider who your target buyers are
likely to be and what will appeal to them.

Enrolment
Applications
for 2020
From 2020, enrolment of children at the above schools is governed by an enrolment scheme,
details of which are available at the office of each school. The schools are Mairehau High school,
Hillmorton High School, Haeata Community Campus and Linwood College.
Applications for 2020 out of zone places at these schools are now invited for students. You may
wish to check with a school you are interested in to see whether there are any actual vacancies for
students living outside of the zone.
The deadline for receiving applications for out of zone students is 4pm on Monday August 19th. If a
ballot is required for out of zone places, this will take place on Wednesday August 21st. Parents will
be informed of the outcome of any ballot by August 23rd.
If you live in the school zone of one of these schools and have not yet signalled your intention to
enrol your child at the school, it would be appreciated if you could do this immediately to help plan
appropriately.
Each school has the appropriate application form and these can be obtained from the school office.

PERMITTED TEMPORARY DEPOTS
AND STORAGE FACILITIES
Under Clause 8(3)(a) of the Canterbury Earthquake
(Resource Management Act Permitted Activities) Order 2011
Despite anything to the contrary in the Christchurch City Plan the activities listed below
are permitted activities in the specified locations if they comply with the prescribed
standards:
1. ACTIVITY: Temporary use of the application site for storage of fill material for
the reinstatement of the reinforced slope below 32A Kinsey Terrace.
LOCATION: 230 Pages Road - The specific location of this activity is south east
of the Breezes Road/Bexley Road/Bridge Road/Dyers Road roundabout.
APPLICANT: Shaun Coakley
REFERENCE NO: RMA/2019/1169
STANDARDS:
1. The activity must proceed in general accordance with the information submitted
to the Council on 28 May 2019 and the additional information received through
email on 10, 12 and 14 June 2019.
2. The use of the site for the storage of fill and excavated material associated with
the land remediation at 32A Kinsey Terrace shall cease by 22 November 2019. All
material from this project shall be removed by this date.
3. Adequate dust control measures must be in place at all times so as to minimise
any nuisance to neighbouring areas. Appropriate equipment (e.g. water hose,
sprinkler system) shall be available on site at all times and used whenever
required by adverse conditions (windy weather, etc) as well as to reduce dust
emission from traffic within the site.
4. The activity must not create any significant adverse effects (relating, but
not limited to, noise, dust, mud, light spill, odour, traffic generation, refuse
disposal, animal control and visual amenity) that will, in the opinion of a
Council Compliance Officer or Environmental Health Officer, cause nuisance for
occupiers of surrounding sites.
Note: If any significant adverse effects do arise, then the Council can impose
additional requirements or conditions to avoid, remedy or mitigate those adverse
effects.
The general Standards for Permitted Temporary Accommodation and Temporary Depots
and Storage Facilities can be viewed on the Temporary Accommodation page of the
Council’s website at www.ccc.govt.nz/tempaccomm.
Any temporary activity established under these provisions shall not create or give
rise to any existing use right in respect of any land, activity, or structure (refer clause
5(3) of the Canterbury Earthquake (Resource Management ActPermitted Activities)
Order 2011).
If you have any questions or would like more information about the activities listed
above please phone 941 8999 and ask to speak to the Duty Planner.
