Inmate<br />
found<br />
with<br />
AK47<br />
after<br />
bailed for<br />
funeral<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
AN INMATE given court bail to<br />
attend a funeral went on the run<br />
and was later found in a motel<br />
unit with a banned high-powered<br />
military-style semi-automatic rifle<br />
and other weapons.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 36-year-old is now back in<br />
custody after police raided a motel<br />
in St Albans where it is alleged<br />
he had an AK47 assault rifle, two<br />
12-gauge shotguns, two .<strong>22</strong> calibre<br />
rifles and more than 100 rounds<br />
of ammunition.<br />
He was also charged with possession<br />
of methamphetamine, a<br />
glass pipe for consuming methamphetamine,<br />
possession of cannabis<br />
for the purpose of sale and<br />
supply, and failure to assist with a<br />
search warrant.<br />
<strong>The</strong> AK47 was banned in the<br />
aftermath of the March 15 terror<br />
attacks in Christchurch.<br />
He will appear again in the<br />
district court on Tuesday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> has learned the<br />
36-year-old failed to return to<br />
prison in early May after being<br />
given bail to leave prison to attend<br />
a funeral in Wellington.<br />

A CANTERBURY University law<br />
student being investigated for a<br />
sexual assault has been allowed to<br />
go overseas on a study-related trip.<br />
Bu the university’s dean of<br />
law Ursula Cheer is refusing to<br />
discuss the matter.<br />
“I can’t comment<br />
about any<br />
of this because<br />
of confidentiality<br />
and privacy,” she<br />
told <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
yesterday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> has<br />
learned a female<br />
student has laid<br />
a complaint abou the accused<br />
being allowed to go on the trip.<br />
It is understood it is no the<br />
same person who has laid the<br />
sexual assault complain to the<br />
police.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> has been told it is a<br />
rape investigation.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> sent a number of questions<br />
to Canterbury University<br />
yesterday but none would be answered.<br />
Said Canterbury University<br />
spokeswoman Margaret Agnew:<br />
“UC cannot respond to allegations<br />
that are before the police.”<br />
She referred the questions<br />
back to Dr Cheer. Her phone was<br />
turned off.<br />
Police would also not comment<br />
on the matter.<br />

Hunker down, winter will be<br />
sticking around a bit longer<br />
• By Jess Gibson<br />
THE START of spring will be a<br />
little more wintry than normal.<br />
National Institute of Water<br />
and Atmospheric Research<br />
meteorologist Ben Noll said it<br />
will be a sluggish start to spring.<br />
He said in spite of moments<br />
where it will feel like spring, it<br />
will be short-lived as “warmth<br />
will be fleeting.”<br />
“Warm<br />
weather will<br />
only stick<br />
around for a day<br />
or two and it<br />
will be replaced<br />
by cooler air.”<br />
Ben Noll<br />
He said residents<br />
may want<br />
to keep a heightened level of<br />
awareness of weather patterns as<br />
there may be chilly spells which<br />
could even bring in snow.<br />
Mr Noll said it was too early to<br />
predict the rainfall beyond the<br />
next few weeks.<br />
In spite of more than 600<br />
sunshine hours, last year’s<br />
average spring temperature of<br />
11.2 deg C made Christchurch<br />
the coolest of the main cities,<br />
and the 218mm rainfall was<br />
considered well above normal.<br />
Meteorologists are trying to<br />
determine if unusual weather<br />
patterns across the country are<br />
related to a sudden stratospheric<br />
warming event, which is when<br />

Christchurch the coolest of the main cities, and the<br />
218mm rainfall was 160 per cent above normal.<br />
rapid warming occurs up to<br />

But Mr Noll said it is not<br />
possible to determine at this<br />
stage where specific weather<br />
events will unfold in different<br />
parts of the country and that for<br />
now, Christchurch does not look<br />
like it will be affected as much as<br />
other parts of the south island.<br />

Arrest made after<br />
Edgeware stabbing<br />
A 21-year-old man has been<br />
arrested after a stabbing at an<br />
Edgeware petrol station on<br />
Sunday morning. <strong>The</strong> incident<br />
at Edgeware BP left one person<br />
with serious injuries. <strong>The</strong><br />
attacker and the victim did not<br />
appear to know each other and<br />
the victim was stabbed twice<br />
with a small knife after making<br />
an offensive gesture. He has<br />
been charged with wounding<br />
with intent to cause grievous<br />
bodily harm and was due to<br />
appear in the district court late<br />
yesterday afternoon.<br />
Homeless man gets<br />
his wish – jail<br />
A 42-year-old homeless man<br />
who allegedly robbed a central<br />
city cafe because he wanted to<br />
get back into police custody<br />
has been remanded. Because<br />
of mental health issues, the<br />
man was granted interim name<br />
suppression when he appeared<br />
in the district court yesterday.<br />
Police opposed the man’s release<br />
on bail and he consented to<br />
being held in custody, making<br />
no bail application.<br />
Two years jail for<br />
stealing plaques<br />
A woman who stole 37<br />
war veteran plaques from a<br />
cemetery to sell for scrap metal<br />
has been jailed for more than<br />
two years. Gail Maree Wickes<br />
was sentenced to 26 months<br />
in the district court yesterday.<br />
She removed the plaques from<br />
Springston Cemetery which<br />
were worth $4000 and sold<br />
them for $1026 to scrap dealers.<br />
East withdrew – he<br />
wasn’t absolved<br />
Last week it was reported city<br />
councillor David East was<br />
absolved from his code of<br />
conduct complaints with the<br />
city council. This was incorrect.<br />
Cr East had withdrawn from<br />
the code of conduct complaint<br />
process and the city council<br />

the matter any further. We<br />

It is believed he did not attend<br />
the funeral. Police were alerted<br />
immediately, said Department<br />
of Corrections deputy national<br />
commissioner Andy Milne.<br />
Mr Milne said Corrections<br />
was not a party to the bail proceedings.<br />
Prisoner’s legal representatives<br />
make applications<br />
for bail on their behalf and the<br />
decision to grant bail is made by<br />
the district court, he said.<br />
“A judge then decides whether<br />
to grant the person bail and<br />
what conditions they must<br />
comply with. A person granted<br />
bail is not in Corrections<br />
custody, and therefore not<br />
accompanied or supervised by<br />
corrections officers,” said Mr<br />
Milne.<br />

NEO-NAZIS ARE selling<br />
hardcover copies of the accused<br />
mosque shooter’s hate-filled<br />
manifesto online.<br />
A far-right message board on<br />
an encrypted instant messaging<br />
site is selling the banned racist<br />
document for US$4 (NZ$6.23).<br />
<strong>The</strong> alleged gunman released<br />
the rambling 87-page screed on<br />
March 15 just moments before<br />
the shootings which claimed<br />
51 lives. It was posted on the<br />
notorious 8chan website, which<br />
is known as one of the darkest<br />
corners on the internet.<br />
New Zealand’s chief censor<br />
has classified the manifesto as<br />
objectionable. Anyone found to<br />
be distributing it in New Zealand<br />
could face up to 14 years in<br />
prison, or a $10,000 fine.<br />
While a 28-year-old Australian<br />
national remains in a<br />
maximum-security Auckland<br />
prison awaiting trial, his banned<br />
rants are being pushed on a<br />
Ukrainian right-wing internet<br />
channel created two days after<br />
the mass shootings. It has more<br />
than 1000 subscribers with its<br />
admin user calling themselves<br />
‘Hitler Himself’.<br />
<strong>The</strong> channel features vile white<br />
supremacy messages, memes and<br />
videos and openly encourages<br />
news online at www.star.kiwi<br />
Hate-filled manifesto sold online<br />
NOTORIOUS: <strong>The</strong> letter from the alleged mosque<br />
gunman sent from Auckland Prison.<br />
violence against people of colour<br />
and Jews.<br />
<strong>The</strong> admin says he was<br />
inspired by the alleged killer<br />
and wants to “maximise the<br />
manifesto and everything related<br />
to it”.<br />
It is pictured alongside images<br />
of guns, Hitler, and the former<br />
Nazi leader’s own anti-Semitic<br />
manifesto Mein Kampf.<br />
On May 15, the administrator<br />
says he was working on printing<br />
out the document for widespread<br />
dissemination. “I do not make<br />
money on this. If someone<br />
doesn’t have shekels to spare –<br />
take the layout and print this out<br />
on your own, not a problem,” the<br />
channel admin wrote.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> idea is to give paper<br />
versions to everyone in a row, on<br />
birthdays, wedding anniversaries<br />
and baptisms of children. In<br />
the first place, the inhabitants,<br />
to open their eyes to our cruel<br />
world.”<br />
And on <strong>August</strong> 10, he boasts<br />
of sending eight books to new<br />
owners. <strong>The</strong> March 15 so-called<br />
manifesto has allegedly inspired<br />
other attacks around the world<br />
in recent months, including at a<br />
Californian synagogue in April<br />
and this month at an El Paso<br />
Walmart and a mosque in<br />
Oslo.<br />
<strong>The</strong> admin also encourages<br />
people to write to the alleged<br />
shooter in prison, and gives an<br />
address where correspondence<br />
can be sent.<br />
An electronic copy of a letter<br />
purportedly sent by the accused<br />
from behind bars has also been<br />
posted to the site.<br />
Last week when it emerged<br />
that the defendant was corresponding<br />
with the far-right from<br />
prison it drew criticism for the<br />
Department of Corrections.<br />
Christchurch white supremacist<br />
Philip Arps, jailed for sharing<br />
the mosque shooting video,<br />
also had wrongly been allowed<br />
to send his own “vile” letter to<br />
a media organisation, it was<br />
revealed last week.<br />
Corrections chief executive<br />
Christine Stevenson has said she<br />
does not have confidence in the<br />
current processes for reviewing<br />
and assessing prisoners’ mail,<br />
and has called for an immediate<br />
review.<br />

LOGISTICAL ISSUES may<br />
be considered in the decision<br />
to move the March 15 accused<br />
gunman’s trial out of the city,<br />
says a high-profile Christchurch<br />
lawyer.<br />
But the extra costs associated<br />
with moving the High Court trial<br />
won’t be a factor in the decision<br />
which will be made by Justice<br />
Cameron Mander, said Nigel<br />
Hampton QC.<br />
“Justice isn’t<br />
a commodity, it<br />
can’t be bought<br />
or sold either<br />
way. That will<br />
not feature in<br />
the decisionmaking<br />
process<br />
regarding<br />
change of venue<br />
. . . the<br />
requirements<br />
of justice would trump the cost<br />
aspect,” he said.<br />
Earlier this month, defence<br />
lawyers for the accused shooter,<br />
Shane Tait and Jonathan Hudson,<br />
applied to change the venue of<br />
the trial.<br />
<strong>The</strong> accused denies 51 charges<br />
of murder, 40 charges of<br />
attempted murder and a charge<br />
under the Terrorist Suppression<br />
Act for the attack at the two<br />
mosques on March 15.<br />
Mr Tait and Mr Hudson have<br />
not publicly stated the reasons for<br />
the application.<br />
By law, a trial must take place<br />
in the nearest court to where the<br />
alleged crime took place.<br />
However, if the defence can<br />
prove there may be a risk of the<br />
accused not getting a fair or<br />
impartial trial, due to a reason<br />
such as adverse publicity, it can<br />
be argued that a change of venue<br />
should take place.<br />
Mr Hampton believes the<br />
Crown prosecution may face<br />
logistical issues if the trial is<br />
moved out of Christchurch.<br />
This will include organising<br />
the travel and accommodation<br />
of witnesses, who may be<br />
victims of the attack, first<br />
news online at www.star.kiwi<br />
Cost not a factor in decision to<br />
move accused gunman’s trial<br />
Nigel Hampton<br />
CAUGHT: <strong>The</strong> moment the<br />
accused mosque gunman<br />
was arrested.<br />
responders, police, Institute<br />
of Environmental Science and<br />
Research staff, surgeons and<br />
other medical staff.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re is going to be a huge<br />
bevy of witnesses that are going<br />
to be juggled and that’s a factor<br />
that the Crown might say should<br />
come into the balance as well in<br />
weighing up whether to change<br />
the venue or not,” said Mr<br />
Hampton.<br />
<strong>The</strong> defence could argue due<br />
to the publicity around the<br />
event, there may be some undue<br />
prejudices attached to or against<br />
the trial rights of the accused.<br />
“Given the degree of publicity<br />
up and down the country, let<br />
alone the rest of the world, it’s a<br />
wee bit hard to see this would be<br />
objectively strong.<br />
“If they want to resist it, Crown<br />
would suggest that in these highprofile<br />
cases that it doesn’t matter<br />
a damn whether it’s Invercargill<br />
or Whangarei, everyone in this<br />
country knows all about this<br />
particular event,” he said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> trial is expected to start in<br />
May next year and could last six<br />
to 12 weeks. <strong>The</strong> start date may<br />
also be delayed by three or four<br />
weeks.<br />
<strong>The</strong> change of venue will be<br />
argued on October 3.<br />

Gifts the police get but can’t<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
WHAT DO a $500 Cartier<br />
diamond pen, NRL match<br />
tickets, a traditional Maori<br />
weapon and a small box of<br />
condiments all have in common?<br />
All were part of more than 200<br />
presents gifted to police in the<br />
past year, listed on a gift and hospitality<br />
register released annually.<br />
<strong>The</strong> gifts are largely either accepted,<br />
declined or donated to<br />
charity and all must be in line<br />
with police’s official policy on<br />
gifts, discounts and hospitality.<br />
Those doing the gifting range<br />
widely from individuals to gangs<br />
and international Government<br />
agencies, such as the Chinese<br />
Embassy, Ministry of Foreign<br />
Affairs of Japan and the United<br />
States Air Force Office of Special<br />
Investigations.<br />
Staff from the Canterbury district<br />
received more than 30 gifts<br />
in the past year, many of which<br />
were in response to the March 15<br />
terror attack.<br />
In June, a case of traditional<br />
opera figures from the Christchurch<br />
Chinese Consulate were<br />
gifted and accepted, along with<br />
tea pots and tea, which were<br />
given to charity.<br />
A framed certificate of appreciation<br />
and fabric was gifted from the<br />
Linwood Islamic Charitable Trust<br />
and district commander John<br />
REGISTER: A Cartier<br />
diamond pen, a taiaha and<br />
a box of doughnuts are<br />
some of the items police<br />
have been offered as gifts.<br />
Price received a tie and cuff link set<br />
from the city council in May.<br />
Natural medicines to the value<br />
of $10000 were gifted to the district<br />
rehabilitation co-ordinator,<br />
but were declined.<br />
Tickets to events are often<br />
gifted but not usually accepted.<br />
In the past year, Canterbury<br />
Police were offered tickets and<br />
hospitality from the Crusaders<br />
and 30 NRL match tickets to the<br />
Warriors v Sea Eagles in Christchurch,<br />
but the gifts were declined.<br />
Float therapy vouchers valued<br />
at $300 and 200 movie vouchers<br />
were accepted, but subsequently<br />
donated to charity.<br />
In March, the Saudi Arabian<br />
government gifted a $500 Cartier<br />
pen to a protection officer, which<br />
was accepted and a donation was<br />
made to charity, in recognition of<br />
the gift.<br />
Police gift and hospitality<br />
report is 11 pages and details the<br />
rules and regulations for all police<br />
employees when offered gifts.<br />
It states employees have to play<br />
a part in upholding integrity<br />
and must not be influenced (or<br />
create the perception of being<br />
influenced) when performing<br />
their duties, by either directly or<br />
indirectly soliciting or receiving<br />
any gift, discount or hospitality.<br />
“Gifts or hospitality can be<br />
offered for various reasons –<br />
both well-intentioned (to show<br />
appreciation, or as part of a<br />
ceremonial occasion) and less<br />
well-intentioned (as an attempt<br />
to gain favour). <strong>The</strong> best way of<br />
avoiding any perception of influence<br />
would be to refuse all offers<br />
of gifts and hospitality. However,<br />
this is not always workable in<br />
practice,” it states.<br />
When deciding whether or<br />
not to accept a gift, factors that<br />
must be considered include, the<br />
ability to demonstrate continuing<br />
impartiality, in both operational<br />
and non-operational matters, the<br />
possibility of reputational risk<br />
and the potential that accepting<br />
a gift, discount or hospitality<br />
will negatively impact on police’s<br />
standing within the community.<br />
For events, invitations should<br />
only be accepted where a benefit<br />
to police, not just the individual<br />
can be shown.<br />

VOTING ON the controversial<br />
childcare policy which would see<br />
city councillors and community<br />
board members’ childcare<br />
paid for by ratepayers has been<br />
delayed.<br />
City councillors were to<br />
have voted before the end of<br />
this month on the issue.<br />
However, the city council is now<br />
unsure whether it will happen<br />
before or after October’s elections.<br />
If adopted by the council,<br />
councillors and community<br />
board members would be eligible<br />
to an allowance only if their<br />
child is under 14 and the childcare<br />
is not provided by a family<br />
member.<br />
Childcare allowances are<br />
also limited to $6000 a year per<br />
child.<br />
City councillor Aaron Keown<br />
saw the delay as a “political<br />
sidestep.”<br />
He thought the vote could<br />
be being delayed to protect<br />
councillors from scrutiny before<br />
October’s elections.<br />
“I think it is one of those<br />
things that they are wanting to<br />
avoid prior to the election.<br />
“It does feel like a dodge,” he<br />
said.<br />
However, city councillor James<br />
Gough did not think this was<br />
the case.<br />
“I have been around long<br />
enough to know that there is<br />
a mad rush of reports that are<br />
meant to come to council but don’t<br />
quite make it during this time,<br />
there is a real push to get decisions<br />
made and tabled before the end of<br />
the election cycle,” he said.<br />
Both Cr Keown and Cr Gough<br />
told <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> they were not<br />
supportive of councillor and<br />
community board members’<br />
childcare being paid for by<br />
ratepayers.<br />
Simon O’Neill in Concert with<br />
Woolston Brass – Fundraising Concerts<br />
Proudly sponsored by John Rhind, international<br />
superstar tenor Simon O'Neill joins Christchurch's<br />
iconic Woolston Brass under the direction of Music<br />
Director Tyme Marsters to perform tenor classics and<br />
raise funds for the band’s future home.<br />
New Zealand born, Simon O'Neill has established<br />
himself as one of the finest helden-tenors on the<br />
international stage. He has frequently performed with<br />
the Metropolitan Opera, the Royal Opera House,<br />
Covent Garden, Berlin, Hamburg and Bayerische<br />
Staatsopern, Teatro alla Scala and the Bayreuth,<br />
Salzburg, Edinburgh and BBC Proms Festivals,<br />
appearing with a number of illustrious conductors.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Woolston Brass Band has been in existence for<br />
128 years and is the most successful and recognised<br />
band in New Zealand. Woolston Brass consists of over<br />
thirty musicians drawn from a variety of professions<br />
and ages brought together by a creative talent for<br />
making music. <strong>The</strong> band has remained true to the<br />
ideal expressed in its Maori motto, Tohea kia kaha<br />
“<strong>The</strong> Wagnerian tenor of his generation”<br />
advertorial<br />
(Persevere, so there is Strength).<br />
<strong>The</strong> band's existing hall on Dampier Street has<br />
been used since 1961 and is no longer fit for purpose,<br />
damaged from the earthquakes and is earmarked for<br />
demolition. Significant fundraising is now sought to<br />
rebuild this rehearsal facility on Dampier Street that<br />
will host the award-winning Woolston Brass and their<br />
Academy.<br />
Simon O’Neill is proudly donating his voice to help<br />
Woolston Brass raise funds for the new band hall. <strong>The</strong><br />
fundraising concerts being held Friday 8 November<br />
at the Christchurch James Hay <strong>The</strong>atre and Sunday 10<br />
November at the Ashburton Trust Event Centre will<br />
feature tenor classics such as traditional Irish ballad<br />
Danny Boy (Londonderry Air), Caruso written by<br />
Italian composer Dalla, the famous Swedish Folk Song<br />
(How Great Thou Art) and the iconic aria Largo Al<br />
Factotum from Rossini’s opera <strong>The</strong> Barber of Seville.<br />

Young myth busters: Cracking the<br />
Conspiracy theories,<br />
fake news, true or false?<br />
<strong>The</strong>se are the questions<br />
a class of secondary<br />
school students are<br />
pondering over. Sophie<br />
Cornish reports<br />
THERE IS a big difference<br />
between convincing your teacher<br />
the dog ate your homework and<br />
persuading them the earth is flat.<br />
What about debating with your<br />
school principal that the country<br />
of Australia doesn’t actually exist?<br />
Highly unlikely.<br />
But for a group of Canterbury<br />
secondary school students,<br />
believing the impossible could<br />
actually be possible is what is<br />
helping them gain their NCEA<br />
qualifications.<br />
This year, a group of 50 students<br />
have delved deep into the<br />
most mind-bending theories<br />
known to man and been forced<br />
to argue they contain truths.<br />
<strong>The</strong> debating assessment,<br />
where students were given a<br />
conspiracy to argue for or against<br />
is part of Rolleston College’s intriguing<br />
new class – conspiracy.<br />
Students are taught to critically<br />
think and question what they<br />
read with a discerning eye, all<br />
while gaining both literacy and<br />
science NCEA credits.<br />
In an age of ‘fake news’ and<br />
unlimited information at their<br />
fingertips, three students, Samuel<br />
Pearson, Joy Su and Ethan<br />
Richards-White, say the class<br />
has prompted new discussions in<br />
their lives and taught them how<br />
to question fact from fiction.<br />
<strong>The</strong> most widely-debated theories<br />
are covered including 9/11,<br />
the moon landing, Illuminati and<br />
the earth being flat.<br />
However, more modern, controversial<br />
and eye-brow raising<br />
discussions also take place in the<br />
classroom.<br />
Do vaccines cause autism? Has<br />
the cure for cancer already been<br />
discovered? Does eating meat<br />
cause cancer?<br />
Split into two components, the<br />

class has just completed the literacy<br />
course and will soon move<br />
into the science assessments.<br />
For literacy, students were<br />
required to create a visual text<br />
which reflected the conflicting<br />
views of a conspiracy.<br />
For Samuel, he showed the contrasting<br />
belief that secret group,<br />
Illuminati, is the higher controller<br />
of the our existence, while Joy<br />
and Ethan debated the theory of<br />
aliens, whether they control us or<br />
are living in the highly-classified,<br />
Area 51.<br />
Along with this, a publicspeaking<br />
assessment saw the class<br />
be divided into groups and given<br />
a topic and viewpoint, which they<br />
were required to debate, all while<br />
being judged by their principal,<br />
Steve Saville.<br />
At first, Joy seemed disappointed<br />
she was given the task<br />
of arguing that vaccines cause<br />
autism.<br />
But, delving into medical<br />
research for the debate made her<br />
realise she may consider medicine<br />
as a career path in future.<br />
“Trying to understand every<br />
medical term was hard. It has<br />
made me more curious about<br />
medicine. It (the class) helps you<br />
to see what your interests are,”<br />
she said.<br />

conspiracy theories<br />
Ethan admitted he got a little<br />
bit sceptical with his debate topic.<br />
“I did the earth is flat, on the affirmative<br />
side. Actually, we won.<br />
Mainly because I bombarded<br />
them with a lot of facts<br />
. . . I got a little bit convinced that<br />
the earth was flat for a bit there,<br />
mainly because I dived deep into<br />
the Flat Earth Society and stuff<br />
and I was like ‘hold on’ . . . but no<br />
. . . I believe that it is round, but<br />
somehow we won that debate,”<br />
he said.<br />
After discussing conspiracies<br />
with his dad, Samuel thought he<br />
would choose the class, to put<br />
an interesting spin on learning<br />
literacy.<br />
“I was looking at something<br />
different; I thought it would be<br />
an interesting thing to look into.<br />
It was things I was in to, writing,<br />
reading, researching, as well as<br />
the science part of it.<br />
“Now, when I see an article<br />
about someone who believes in a<br />
conspiracy theory, because of this<br />
class, you can see that perspective<br />
more. You realise they aren’t just<br />
being funny or seeking attention,<br />
they actually believe this kind of<br />
stuff and you can see if from their<br />
point of view,” he said.<br />

FROM 10:30PM<br />
GREAT CONSPIRACY<br />
THEORIES<br />
1. Illuminati controlling<br />
the world – this conspiracy<br />
proposes a secret group<br />
called Illuminati has been<br />
controlling the world and<br />
is looking to create a one<br />
world government. <strong>The</strong>ir<br />
end goal is supposedly to<br />
create the New World Order,<br />
which will dissolve national<br />
boundaries and people’s<br />
identities, while allowing for<br />
total authoritarian control. It<br />
is alleged several politicians<br />
and celebrities are in the<br />
group, including Beyonce,<br />
Jay-Z and Madonna.<br />
2. <strong>The</strong> moon landing was<br />
a cover-up – Fifty years on,<br />
the hoax theory still exists.<br />
Some people believe the<br />
significant scientific and<br />
political achievement<br />
did not happen and<br />
that its appearance was<br />
orchestrated by NASA<br />
and the United States<br />
Government. <strong>The</strong> motive,<br />
as part of the Cold War,<br />
was allegedly done to raise<br />
national pride and one-up<br />
their arch-rival, the Soviet<br />
Union, and win the Space<br />
Race. <strong>The</strong> most common<br />
theory which leads people<br />
to believe it was fake was<br />
photos from the mission<br />
which show a flag moving<br />
in the wind, something that<br />
should not happen as there<br />
is no wind in space.<br />
3. Who killed JFK? – <strong>The</strong><br />
assassination of American<br />
president, John F. Kennedy<br />
– A large national survey<br />
in the United States in<br />
2013 found 51 per cent of<br />
Americans believe there<br />
was a conspiracy behind<br />
the killing of JFK during a<br />
motorcade in Dallas in 1962.<br />
<strong>The</strong> shooter, Lee Harvey<br />
Oswald, got the official<br />
blame. However, theories<br />
believe other parties such<br />
as the CIA, KGB or the<br />
Mafia, may have played a<br />
role. Other theories suggest<br />
there was more than one<br />
gunman and that more<br />
shots were fired than<br />
officially claimed. Possible<br />
motives include the Bay of<br />
Pigs invasion, a failed US<br />
military invasion of Cuba<br />
by the CIA or that his death<br />
was at the request of vicepresident,<br />
Lyndon Johnson.<br />
4. Was 9/11 an inside<br />
job? – <strong>The</strong> terror attack on<br />
September 11, 2001, caused<br />
one of the most popular<br />
and widely-discussed<br />
conspiracy theories. Multiple<br />
theories of the event have<br />
been discussed, mainly<br />
implicating the United<br />
States’ Government as<br />
causing the attacks in order<br />
to blame al-Qaeda and start<br />
war with Iraq. <strong>The</strong>ories claim<br />
jet fuel from the planes<br />
could not melt the steel<br />
beams of the World Trade<br />
Centre towers, which they<br />
believe was actually brought<br />
down by a controlled<br />
demolition.<br />
5. <strong>The</strong> elusive Area<br />
51 – Conspiracy theorists<br />
believe that the remains of<br />
crashed UFO space crafts<br />
are stored at Area 51. <strong>The</strong><br />
highly-classified mysterious<br />
Air Force base in Nevada, is<br />
where Government scientists<br />
allegedly reverse-engineer<br />
the aliens’ advanced<br />
technology. <strong>The</strong> theories<br />
have come from a variety<br />
of supposed UFO sightings<br />
in the area and testimony<br />
from a retired army colonel,<br />
who says he was given<br />
access to extra-terrestrial<br />
materials gathered from an<br />
alien spacecraft that crashed<br />
in Roswell, New Mexico, in<br />
1947. Some believe that the<br />
Government studies time<br />
travel at Area 51, also known<br />
as Groom Lake.<br />

offence to a car parked<br />

keying it with the<br />
words ‘footpaths for<br />

of damage was caused<br />
to the car in central<br />
New Brighton last<br />
week. A housemate<br />
of the car’s owner<br />
posted the images<br />

the incident “vile and<br />

MAYORAL HOPEFUL Stephen<br />
McPaike will take the plight of<br />
people living in sub-standard<br />
social housing right to the<br />
council chambers today.<br />
Mr McPaike will address city<br />
councillors and Mayor Lianne<br />
Dalziel in the public participation<br />
part of the fortnightly council<br />
meeting.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 34-year-old retail worker<br />
and single parent has lived in<br />
a city council-owned social<br />
housing unit at Haast Courts in<br />
Linwood for the last<br />
three years.<br />
During that time, he<br />
says he has thrown out<br />
two beds due to mould,<br />
in spite of ventilating<br />
his room every day.<br />
He has also resorted<br />
to placing bubble wrap<br />
over his windows to<br />
combat the cold in his<br />
poorly-insulated flat.<br />

THE NUMBER of women<br />
running for the city council is<br />
declining.<br />
Seven out of 46 candidates<br />
standing in the October local<br />
body elections are women – 15<br />
per cent of the total number of<br />
candidates.<br />
This is a decrease from the<br />
2016 elections, when 12 out of 39<br />
council candidates were women<br />
(30 per cent), and in 2013 with<br />
<strong>22</strong> out of 54 candidates (40 per<br />
cent).<br />
Sara Templeton, who was<br />
elected in 2016, believes the<br />
amount of online abuse female<br />
city councillors receive is a<br />
reason for the low numbers.<br />
Female councillors are<br />
subjected to more personal<br />
attacks and scrutiny than their<br />
male counterparts, she says.<br />
“During the last election<br />
campaign, I had people comment<br />
that I had worn the same shirt to<br />
two different candidate meetings,<br />
would that happen to a male<br />
candidate?”<br />
After Cr Templeton was<br />
elected, she also received threats<br />
about being run over and having<br />
faeces left on her lawn.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re is a difference between<br />
general comments about council<br />
and the very personal trolling,”<br />
she said.<br />

councillors are women.<br />

• By Louis Day<br />
A BY-ELECTION will be needed<br />
after the Banks Peninsula<br />
Community Board failed to<br />
attract enough candidates.<br />
<strong>The</strong> community board was<br />
not able to fill one of its two Mt<br />
Herbert subdivision seats, with<br />
Howard Needham being the only<br />
candidate to enter after nominations<br />
closed on<br />
Friday.<br />
It is the only<br />

Banks Peninsula<br />
Community<br />
Board members<br />
are standing for<br />
re-election and seven new candidates<br />

Current board member John<br />

this year that the low rate of<br />

Stephen McPaike<br />
Cr Templeton thought it was<br />
important people voted for the<br />
strongest candidates regardless<br />
of their gender. But she said more<br />
women are needed on council.<br />
“It’s really important to have<br />
not only diversity of thought,<br />
but also diversity of experience<br />
and women experience the city<br />
differently to men.”<br />
Mayor Lianne Dalziel said<br />
the anonymous nature of the<br />
internet can encourage abuse<br />
and leave women vulnerable to<br />
being attacked.<br />
“Vicious political campaigns<br />
take place in this anonymous<br />
units. <strong>The</strong>re are some people on<br />
the superannuation who after<br />
paying rent have $40 left,” he<br />
said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council has more than<br />
900 units without floor or ceiling<br />
insulation and has been advised<br />
it would cost $14,000 to $<strong>22</strong>,000<br />
to complete the work in each<br />
unit.<br />
<strong>The</strong> deadline for social housing<br />
providers to comply with the<br />
legislation requiring insulation<br />
was July 1, 2016.<br />
<strong>The</strong> law made it compulsory for<br />
all social housing to be insulated<br />
environment, designed to create<br />
a negative image and spread lies,”<br />
Ms Dalziel said.<br />
“Women candidates are<br />
particularly vulnerable in this<br />
environment, particularly in<br />
relation to veiled threats to<br />
personal safety, and I believe this<br />
contributes to the question asked<br />
by a number of women: Why<br />
would you put yourself through<br />
that?”<br />
City councillor and former<br />
mayor Vicki Buck said she<br />
tried to steer clear of abusive<br />
comments online.<br />
She thought the prospect of<br />
unless it was not practicable<br />
to do so. In 2016, the council<br />
assessed its <strong>22</strong>24 properties and<br />
fitted units with insulation where<br />
possible, but 930 were left uninsulated.<br />
Tenants in these units,<br />
including Mr McPaike, were left<br />
to put up with freezing and damp<br />
conditions. In today’s meeting,<br />
the city council will discuss<br />
options to accelerate the process<br />
to make un-insulated social<br />
housing drier and warmer.<br />
With current funding, the city<br />
council can do this by June 20<strong>22</strong>.<br />
Women shy away from council<br />
CONCERN: City councillor Sara Templeton believes the<br />
online abuse of female councillors is putting women off<br />
running for the city council. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
online abuse would put a lot of<br />
people off running for the city<br />
council.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> one thing that may be<br />
disconcerting, not just to women,<br />
but to a number of people is the<br />
degree of negative comments<br />
people feel that they are entitled<br />
to make when referring to city<br />
councillors,” she said.<br />
City councillor Pauline Cotter<br />
thought there were other reasons<br />
which may contribute to less<br />
women running for the city<br />
council.<br />
“I think it’s a known fact<br />
that women are not so good at<br />
pushing themselves forward proactively<br />
as men are, so that may<br />
be another reason,” she said.<br />
City councillor Anne Galloway<br />
said she has not encountered any<br />
abuse in her time on council but<br />
is aware it is out there.<br />
She said financial barriers<br />
could also put women off<br />
running.<br />
“It costs a decent amount<br />
of money to run for local<br />
government,” she said.<br />

THIS IS what Lyttelton’s new<br />
Collett’s Corner will look like<br />
when it opens in 20<strong>22</strong>.<br />
New images show the 2710<br />
sq m, two-storey building set for<br />
London St, which will include<br />
a wellness centre, community<br />
concierge, hospitality, retail, coworking<br />
space<br />
and apartments.<br />
Ohu Development<br />
is behind<br />
the project,<br />
and ran New<br />
Zealand’s first<br />
crowdfunding<br />
campaign to help<br />
pay for it.<br />
During the<br />
five-week campaign, 370 people<br />
invested a total of $504,000.<br />
As the minimum goal of<br />
$300,000 was met, the project<br />
could go ahead. However, because<br />
the $2 million target was<br />
not met, the opening was pushed<br />
back from 2020 to 20<strong>22</strong>.<br />
Ohu Development founding<br />
partner Camia Young said in order<br />
to raise the remaining funds<br />
the business will take on a bank<br />
loan and look into further equity.<br />
Meanwhile, developers and local<br />
real estate agent Vicki Tahau<br />
Paton are aiming to seek tenants<br />
interested in leasing commercial<br />
spaces and residents to buy<br />
apartments in September.<br />
<strong>The</strong> majority of the building<br />
must be either pre-leased or presold<br />
in order for developers to<br />
take on a bank loan.<br />
<strong>The</strong> basement will be home<br />
to the wellness centre, which is<br />
envisioned to have hot and cold<br />
baths, a sauna, a steam room and<br />
therapy rooms.<br />
On the ground floor, there will<br />
likely be a gym, retail, hospitality<br />
and consultation rooms.<br />
On floors one and two, there<br />
will be 18 studio apartments<br />
and eight single-bedroom apartments,<br />
and a rooftop terrace will<br />
be exclusive to residents.<br />

Lyttelton complex designs released<br />
Camia<br />
Young<br />
DESIGNS: New images show what the planned Collett’s Corner, Lyttelton, complex and<br />
apartments will look like.<br />
$590,000 depending on the size<br />
and location of the space.<br />
Lyttelton Residents’ Association<br />
chairman Ken Maynard<br />
said he was concerned the complex<br />
was not aimed at locals.<br />
“It’s a fairly personal opinion,<br />
not one for the association . . .<br />
but I don’t think this is what we<br />
needed,” he said.<br />
“It’s quite big, it’s taller than<br />
the other buildings in the street<br />
and I thought one of the features<br />
which was going to be attractive<br />
was the roof garden – but its<br />
actually for the tenants.”<br />
Founding partner Camia<br />
Young said she would have loved<br />
for the rooftop to be open to the<br />
public, however, the city council<br />
“would never allow it” due to<br />
health and safety requirements.<br />
“That was one of the major issues<br />
that was in the city council<br />
requirements for the rooftop<br />
terrace,” Ms Young said.<br />
Resource consent is now pending<br />
for the new designs, which<br />
were modified after the city<br />
council requested changes.<br />
“I’m dancing with every policy<br />
and requirement out there,” she<br />
said.<br />

Samoa police<br />
being reviewed<br />
by city cop<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
CANTERBURY’S top cop is<br />
conducting a review of the police in<br />
Samoa after its police commissioner<br />
faced more than 200 criminal<br />
charges, including inciting murder.<br />
Superintendent John Price will<br />
wrap up the review and return to<br />
his normal role as Canterbury district<br />
commander next month.<br />
Samoa Police Service commissioner<br />
Fuiavailili Egon Keil was<br />
suspended in <strong>August</strong> 2016 after four<br />
criminal charges were laid against<br />
him, including the unlawful use of<br />
weapons, as well as the unlawful<br />
arrest of a man.<br />
<strong>The</strong> charges were dismissed two<br />
months later due to insufficient<br />
evidence and he was reinstated.<br />
He was then arrested again in<br />
the same month, on more than<br />
200 charges, following a separate<br />
investigation, including charges<br />
of possession of illegal firearms and<br />
one of inciting murder.<br />
In February 2017, all charges were<br />
dropped, by the Supreme Court of<br />
Samoa, due to insufficient evidence.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Attorney-General had hired a<br />
private prosecutor, Christchurchbased<br />
Nigel Hampton QC, who<br />
asked the court to withdraw the<br />
charges due to reasons relating<br />
to witness interviews and lack of<br />
appropriate legal advice, that was not<br />
sought before the charges were laid.<br />

OPINION 17<br />
When bank robberies were the norm<br />
THE ROBBERY of Kiwibank in<br />
Parklands last week was sort of a<br />
blast from the past.<br />
Bank hold-ups, thankfully,<br />
are relatively uncommon these<br />
days. Dairies are now a primary<br />
target, usually by teenagers in<br />
groups after cigarettes, cash and<br />
anything else they can grab.<br />
But there was a time when<br />
banks and the security vans<br />
which would pick up and drop of<br />
large amounts of cash were the<br />
targets.<br />
Most of the robbers who<br />
targeted banks were wellorganised,<br />
experienced<br />
criminals, often linked to gangs,<br />
and armed with cut down<br />
shotguns or rifles. An influx of<br />
drugs, particularly cocaine, was<br />
often the reason for the need for<br />
lots of quick cash.<br />
<strong>The</strong> robbers knew what they<br />
were doing and getting in and<br />
out as quickly as possible without<br />
incident was paramount – but<br />
that was no consolation for the<br />
terror endured by bank staff,<br />
customers and security guards.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re were also the lone wolf<br />
From the<br />
editor’s desk<br />
Barry Clarke<br />
robbers. One individual stole the<br />
same motor-cycle parked in the<br />
central city on two occasions to<br />
rob banks. He was believed to<br />
have been a fairly well-known<br />
sportsman at the time, but police<br />
were never able to get enough<br />
evidence to arrest him.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n there was the guy<br />
disguised in a clown mask<br />
who shot himself in the foot,<br />
figuratively speaking.<br />
Armed, he turned up at a<br />
Stanmore Rd, Richmond, bank<br />
– minutes before it was due to<br />
open. He couldn’t get in. Threats<br />
and gesturing didn’t convince<br />
the staff to open the main door.<br />
He fled on foot, dropping the<br />
mask as he ran. Police caught<br />
him soon after.<br />
And then there was the late<br />
Wayne Beri, prime suspect for<br />
the Aulsebrooks payroll robbery,<br />
and an individual who spent<br />
most of his adult life in prison<br />
(where he died of a heart attack)<br />
for drug dealing.<br />
Beri had been released on<br />
work parole into the sponsorship<br />
of someone police also kept a<br />
fairly close eye on. How that was<br />
signed off is anybody’s guess.<br />
Police began to bug phones<br />
after hearing through the<br />
grapevine Beri’s time on work<br />
parole could be put to another<br />
use – robbery.<br />
Security vans delivering<br />
and picking up money from<br />
Christchurch banks were<br />
believed to be the target.<br />
During the bugging, they<br />
also picked up something more<br />
sinister: Police heard a man<br />
who had known Beri from years<br />
before asking him to murder his<br />
wife.<br />
Most people just get divorced.<br />
Police swooped, numerous<br />
people were arrested, including<br />
the woman’s husband, and the<br />
intended victim was put into<br />
a place of safety. Police were<br />
later unable to proceed on the<br />
attempting to procure a murder<br />
charge in court on a technicality.<br />
<strong>The</strong> evidence from the bugging<br />
was ruled inadmissible and the<br />
husband walked free.<br />
A few years later, when I was<br />
interviewing Beri by phone from<br />
prison for a life and times of<br />
Wayne Beri-type article, I asked<br />
him if he would have killed the<br />
woman: “No,” he said sharply.<br />
“But I might have burnt her<br />
house down.” Mmm.<br />
During the interview, he did<br />
reveal he once held up a bank in<br />
Sydney – while on a sports trip.<br />
Beri was a good rugby league<br />
player here in Christchurch, and<br />
his club side went across the<br />
Tasman on an end-of-season<br />
type trip.<br />
While his teammates were<br />
elsewhere, Beri told me he held<br />
up the bank. He went straight to<br />
the counter, was very aggressive,<br />
made out he had a weapon and<br />
was out with the cash in super<br />
quick time.<br />
But one of the more audacious<br />
bank heists here in Christchurch<br />
I can recall wasn’t actually a<br />
robbery. A man dressed as a<br />
security guard went into a bank<br />
just before a scheduled pick<br />
up. He was so plausible and<br />
convincing, bank staff handed<br />
him the cash. He calmly walked<br />
out of the bank and he and the<br />
money were never seen again.<br />
That’s planning.<br />

Maternal drug use study reveals<br />
poor outcome for children<br />
• By Jess Gibson<br />
INCREASED OPIOID and other<br />
drug use by pregnant women is<br />
affecting children’s readiness for<br />
learning when they start school,<br />
new research has discovered.<br />
Canterbury University<br />
professor Lianne Woodward<br />
has recently completed a fiveyear<br />
study looking into the<br />
development of babies affected<br />
by their mothers’<br />
drug use.<br />
Prof<br />
Woodward<br />
studied 100<br />
babies whose<br />
mothers took<br />
methadone to<br />
treat opioid<br />
Lianne<br />
Woodward<br />
NEWS<br />
dependence and<br />
110 babies whose<br />
mothers did not.<br />
With PhD graduate Dr<br />
Samantha Lee, Prof Woodward<br />
followed the babies from birth<br />
to four and a half years old,<br />
with researchers assessing the<br />
children’s physical and motor<br />
development, social-emotional<br />
skills, approaches to learning,<br />
language, and cognitive<br />
functioning.<br />
“Opioid use in New Zealand<br />
is on the rise, so the hope is<br />
that this study can contribute<br />
to health and education services<br />
planning to help support the<br />
needs of these children and<br />
their families,” Prof Woodward<br />
said.<br />
“We wanted to understand<br />
not only the effects of maternal<br />
substance use during pregnancy<br />
on children’s development but<br />
also how social disadvantage and<br />
other medical and family factors<br />
might contribute to difficulties.”<br />
Prof Woodward is an<br />
international expert in child<br />
developmental psychology.<br />
Her study, Health and Neuro<br />
development of Children Born<br />
to Opioid Dependent Mothers<br />
at School Entry, looks at the<br />
extent and the mix of mothers’<br />
substance use as well other social<br />
and biological factors.<br />
news online at www.star.kiwi<br />
<strong>The</strong> results found that over<br />
70 per cent of children born to<br />
opioid-dependent mothers had at<br />
least one health or developmental<br />
difficulty that would likely<br />
impact their schooling,<br />
compared to 29 per cent of<br />
children drawn from the general<br />
population.<br />
Multiple problems were also<br />
common, affecting 48 per cent<br />
of methadone-exposed children<br />
compared with 15 per cent of<br />
control-group children.<br />
<strong>The</strong> research showed the<br />
more substance used during<br />
pregnancy, the worse the<br />
outcomes for children.<br />
However, with early targeted<br />
help for these children and their<br />
families, children’s outcomes can<br />
be improved.<br />
“It is clear from our results<br />
that when there is good support<br />
for the family and the family<br />
is coping with the challenges<br />
of parenting, their children do<br />
well,” she said.<br />
“We can mitigate the<br />
long-term risks associated<br />
with opioids and other forms<br />
of maternal drug use during<br />
pregnancy, but we need early<br />
developmental surveillance<br />
and intervention to identify<br />
those who will benefit from<br />
support.”<br />

Thursday <strong>August</strong> <strong>22</strong> <strong>2019</strong> <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
I WAS WRONG last week, so I’d<br />
best correct myself.<br />
<strong>The</strong> church in Laura’s home village<br />
of Pravisdomini is about 1000<br />
years old, rather than 600, and<br />
was built some time after Attila<br />
the Hun and his band of merry<br />
men “toured” an ageing Roman<br />
Empire.<br />
Apparently there’s also a whole<br />
mess of the bones of Vittoria’s<br />
ancestors a metre or so under the<br />
church lawn too.<br />
Vittoria’s been living the high<br />
life this last week.<br />
After recovering from the side<br />
effects of antibiotics, she’s been<br />
accompanying us on a fairly busy<br />
circuit of friends, family, nearby<br />
towns and villages.<br />
She’s been cuddled near to<br />
death by the older rellies, having<br />
a blast with the younger family<br />
members and running amok with<br />
the kids of our friends who are of<br />
a similar age.<br />
<strong>The</strong> exercise is key with an appetite<br />
like hers. We always knew<br />
Vittoria was a good wee eater, but<br />
she’s honestly eating almost as<br />
much as us adults.<br />
It’s so great to see after she<br />
was off her food the first week,<br />
however, I doubt any of us will be<br />
coming back any lighter.<br />
<strong>The</strong> big meals have been put to<br />
good use in fuelling an increase in<br />
VITTORIA<br />
& Matt<br />
Food, family and words<br />
Vittoria’s communication skills.<br />
She has definitively mastered<br />
the word “this” and can now ask<br />
you to “do this” or ask “what’s<br />
this?” accompanied by furious<br />
pointing. She’s also begun playing<br />
with the words “rubbish” and<br />
“finished”, although I’m still not<br />
sure she’s got it yet. It just kind of<br />
sounds like “ish” either way.<br />
And it’s not just output that I’ve<br />
noticed. With Italian (or the local<br />
brand Venetian spoken by most of<br />
Laura’s relatives) surrounding her<br />
almost all day, every day, Vittoria<br />
can now understand a few phrases<br />
and respond accordingly.<br />
I mean respond physically – like<br />
she’ll probably wander over if you<br />
ask her to in Italian – not verbally.<br />
She’s also starting to get into<br />
the Italian childrens’ time frame,<br />
which I’m not sure is exactly ideal.<br />
Up at 6.30am, a leisurely postlunch<br />
nap at 2pm-ish and then<br />
pushing the boundaries until almost<br />
10pm if she can get away with it.<br />
While I’m excited to try and<br />
keep using as much Italian as<br />
possible when we return home,<br />
I think I might see about leaving<br />
the timetable behind.<br />

Song solo highlight from US camp<br />
IT WAS a busy three weeks at<br />
theatre camp in Michigan for St<br />
Margaret’s College student Lara<br />
Chiswell.<br />
Lara applied to the camp<br />
with a videotaped audition, and<br />
she was offered a place on the<br />
Musical <strong>The</strong>atre Golden Age<br />
Revue Summer programme in<br />
Interlochen, Michigan.<br />
Interlochen Arts Camp is held<br />
annually over the United States’<br />
summer break, and each year<br />
thousands of artists and arts<br />
patrons travel to Interlochen<br />
for world-class education and<br />
cultural opportunities.<br />
Students can study music,<br />
theatre, visual arts, film,<br />
creative writing and dance at the<br />
camp.<br />
Over the three-week course,<br />
the students were required to<br />
learn 20 pieces of golden age<br />
musical theatre.<br />
Golden age musical theatre is<br />
considered to be from the 1940s<br />
to the 1950s.<br />
It’s a long way from Lara’s<br />
home in Strowan to the camp in<br />
Michigan, and she described the<br />
time away as “busy.”<br />
“Our days were very busy<br />
starting class at 8am then<br />
carrying on to 11.45am,” she<br />
said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> students would then have<br />
a lunch break until 1pm and<br />
then have practice period, where<br />
they had their own time to go<br />
YOUNG, SUCCESSFUL<br />
& on the move<br />
SOLO: Lara Chiswell (centre) was one of two girls at the<br />
Interlochen Arts Camp in Michigan to sing a solo in the final<br />
show of the camp. <br />
21<br />
over dances or harmonies in<br />
songs.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir classes would resume<br />
at 2pm and finish at 5pm for a<br />
dinner break. From 6.30-9pm<br />
there would be night practices<br />
and then it was bedtime at<br />
9.30pm.<br />
At the end of the three weeks,<br />
the students put on a performance<br />
and Lara was one of just<br />
two girls to be given a singing<br />
solo.<br />
“During my time here (theatre<br />
camp) I learned so much and<br />
made some amazing friends. It<br />
was incredible to be around such<br />
like-minded people. My time at<br />
Interlochen has been the best 3<br />
weeks of my life.”<br />

SELWYN SOUNDS 25<br />
Icehouse will wind the clock back<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
FEW BANDS can boast opening<br />
for David Bowie just six years<br />
after forming.<br />
But for front man Iva Davies<br />
and his band Icehouse, this is<br />
exactly what happened.<br />
<strong>The</strong> award-winning Australian<br />
rock outfit will bring their hitfilled<br />
set to Selwyn Sounds on<br />
March 7 next year.<br />
Icehouse’s line-up has changed<br />
many times since forming as<br />
Flowers more than 40 years ago.<br />
Davies has been there since the<br />
beginning.<br />
He said years of on-stage<br />
experience and songwriting<br />
would be encapsulated in<br />
the band’s Selwyn Sounds<br />
performance.<br />
“I’ve been working with some<br />
of these guys for 35 years and<br />
they are absolutely the most brilliant<br />
set of musicians that Australia<br />
has to offer, I’m completely<br />
confident in saying that.”<br />
Davies said the band was very<br />
selective with where they played<br />
these days, but they wanted to<br />
play Selwyn Sounds because<br />
New Zealand audiences had<br />
always been some of their biggest<br />
supporters.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> kind of relationship that<br />
we have with New Zealand is<br />
quite a special one because in the<br />
80s when we were in full swing,<br />
ENERGY: Iva Davies, front man of Australian band Icehouse, will perform at Selwyn<br />
Sounds at Lincoln Domain in March.<br />
PHOTO: TONY MOTT<br />
we noted even then per head of<br />
population we actually had more<br />
success in New Zealand than<br />
anywhere else in the world.”<br />
But, it is fair to say Icehouse’s<br />
music has been heard and appreciated<br />
by audiences all over<br />
the world.<br />
Davies said the turnaround<br />
from being a band of 20-something<br />
year olds $18,000 in debt to<br />
their management, to achieving<br />
international success had not<br />
been easy.<br />
“It was just ridiculously hard<br />
work.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> first album [Icehouse<br />
when the band was still called<br />
Flowers] was a massive success<br />
in Australia, it was the highestselling<br />
debut album by any Australian<br />
band at that point . . . I<br />
remember when that first royalty<br />
cheque turned up. At that point<br />
I actually had no home, I was<br />
kind of couch surfing and under<br />
duress living in my parents home<br />
which I hated doing.<br />
“When that first album came<br />
out it was a big success and of<br />
course, we were able to pay off<br />
that debt and end up finally<br />
earning some money.”<br />
Davies said he didn’t believe<br />
the money would keep rolling<br />
in and certainly not that three<br />
years later Icehouse would have<br />
to choose between touring with<br />
David Bowie or Peter Gabriel.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y decided to support Bowie<br />
on his 1983 Serious Moonlight<br />
European tour.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> sheer scale of it was just<br />
beyond comprehension when<br />
you’re playing to 70,000 people<br />
every show that you do . . . I remember<br />
pulling into one big outdoor<br />
show and there were about<br />
10 coaches, 10 buses . . . my<br />
kind of head exploded because I<br />
couldn’t conceive 10 buses full of<br />
crew working on a single show.”<br />
Davies said the Selwyn Sounds<br />
crowd could expect Icehouse to<br />
wind back the clock and put on<br />
a performance with just as much<br />
energy as they brought all those<br />
years ago.<br />

GARDENING ADVICE<br />
Today’s winning question came<br />
from Jun Wan. Congratulations!<br />
How do I deal with strawberry<br />
runners? Keep them or dump<br />
Q<br />
them? I know sometimes we<br />
need to remove them to keep<br />
the energy mainly into fruiting, and other<br />
times keep them as future strawberry<br />
plants (we replace our existing plants<br />
every three years). What is<br />
the general rule for<br />
runners of strawberries?<br />
For growing advice and information on<br />
products visit www.daltons.co.nz<br />
A<br />
Winter is the time for replanting the strawberry patch. Commercial growers<br />
replace all their strawberry plants every year, but in the home garden, it’s<br />
recommended that once strawberry plants have been in the garden<br />
for two growing seasons, they should be replaced. As older plants<br />
produce an abundance of runners, it’s important to remove<br />
the healthiest and most vigorous-growing of the runners to replace your<br />
old strawberry plants. A way to do this is to monitor your plants during<br />
the summer fruiting season and tag the best performers eg: heaviest<br />
cropping and best fl avoured strawberries. You can then divide the<br />
runners from these plants for next season.<br />
When it comes to strawberries for the family, it is almost impossible<br />
to have too many strawberry plants! Excess runners can also be<br />
used to extend the strawberry patch or be given to friends.<br />
Remember to prepare new planting areas thoroughly by adding<br />
Daltons Garden Time Compost to the soil and raise the beds<br />
at least 100mm above the existing soil level. This allows the soil to<br />
warm quicker in spring. Your new plants should be spaced around<br />
150mm apart. Finish with a layer of mulch (pea straw or bark)<br />
around plants.<br />

Williams to direct<br />
Court production<br />
AFTER DIRECTING work around the<br />
world, Anthea Williams is returning to the<br />
city for her debut at <strong>The</strong> Court <strong>The</strong>atre in<br />
homegrown comedy, <strong>The</strong> Pink Hammer.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> Court is the company that made<br />
me realise I wanted to be a director,” said<br />
Williams, talking about her decision to<br />
travel across the ditch for the production.<br />
Williams, now based in Sydney, is back<br />
for <strong>The</strong> Pink Hammer; a Kiwi comedy<br />
about five misfits who come together for an<br />
“empowering” women’s carpentry course<br />
that goes hilariously awry.<br />
•<strong>The</strong> Pink Hammer will run at <strong>The</strong><br />
Court <strong>The</strong>atre from September 7 to<br />
October 5.<br />
Teaching children Pasifika heritage<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-<br />
Harding<br />
WHEN TALIA-RAE Mavaega<br />
travels to primary schools<br />
nationally as a performer she<br />
often finds it “disappointing”<br />
to learn how little children<br />
know about Pasifika’s rich<br />
culture.<br />
Having toured nationally<br />
with Duffy Books in Homes,<br />
she has found some schoolchildren<br />
have never heard<br />
of Samoa or Tonga or where<br />
New Zealand is located in the<br />
Pacific.<br />
In a bid to educate children<br />
on Pasifika’s heritage, Mavaega<br />
is one of three performers<br />
from theatre company Y NOT<br />
travelling to schools across<br />
Canterbury to share some<br />
of Samoa, Tonga and New<br />
Zealand’s most well-known<br />
legends.<br />
Directed by Gregory<br />
Cooper, the theatre company<br />
has collaborated with <strong>The</strong><br />
Court <strong>The</strong>atre to present O Le<br />
Malaga Fa’a’Atua (<strong>The</strong> Journey<br />
of the Gods).<br />
<strong>The</strong> multilingual production<br />
will be touring across Canterbury<br />
primary schools until<br />
September 13 and will feature<br />
Jake Arona and Mana Tatafu,<br />
alongside Mavaega.<br />
When asked by <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
if education on the Pacific<br />
could be better, she said: “I<br />
think there is always room<br />
for improvement, I just<br />
think Pasifika culture isn’t<br />
implemented as much.”<br />
But Mavaega said: “<strong>The</strong> cool<br />
thing is most of the kids once<br />
they are given the opportunity<br />
to learn a new word or whatever<br />
they just jump on it which<br />
is awesome.”<br />
Based on a fusion of myths,<br />
the O Le Malaga Fa’a’Atua<br />
(<strong>The</strong> Journey of the Gods)<br />
follows the story of demigod<br />
Maui’s quest to prove himself<br />
worthy of becoming a fullyfledged<br />
God.<br />
Mavaega, who is of Samoan<br />
heritage, will play the role<br />
of Sina based on the famous<br />
Polynesian myth Sina and the<br />
Eel, which explains the origins<br />
of the first coconut tree.<br />
But she said the message she<br />
is hoping children will walk<br />
away with is to make the right<br />
choices to be kind to others<br />
and be the best they can be.<br />
<strong>The</strong> message stems from<br />
when Maui (who is based on a<br />
demigod from Maori mythology)<br />
is faced with the decision<br />
to either gain for himself or<br />
help people forever.<br />
Mavaega said while the<br />
majority of schools it is<br />
travelling to may not have the<br />
population of Pacific students,<br />
it is “awesome” it can share<br />
with children who have not<br />
experienced the culture.<br />
Fortunately, times have<br />
changed since Mavaega’s<br />
grandfather moved to New<br />
Zealand between the 1930s-<br />
1940s.<br />
Back then, she said children<br />
were told off and beaten for<br />
SPELL-BINDING:<br />
Talia-Rae Mavaega<br />
will feature in new<br />
show O Le Malaga<br />
Fa’a’Atua (<strong>The</strong> Journey<br />
of the Gods). <strong>The</strong> show<br />
is touring around<br />
Canterbury primary<br />
schools to teach<br />
children about the rich<br />
Pasifika culture.<br />
speaking the Samoan and<br />
had to sacrifice their language<br />
to adapt to New Zealand<br />
language.<br />
“We are so lucky human<br />
rights is now a thing,”<br />
Mavaega said.<br />
Y NOT was established in<br />
2017 to bring more Pasifika<br />
theatre into the city’s art<br />
scene.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are four available<br />
performances for schools to<br />
attend the show.<br />

AVOCADO BAKED EGGS<br />
WITH PARSNIP, PEA,<br />
AND PANCETTA HASH<br />
Ingredients<br />
4 eggs<br />
2 ripe avocados<br />
1/2 cup pancetta, cubed<br />
2 medium parsnips, or about 3<br />
cups cubed<br />
1/2 cup green peas<br />
1 tsp dried thyme<br />
Sea salt<br />
Black pepper<br />
Directions<br />
Remove eggs from the<br />
refrigerator and allow to come<br />
to room temperature (15-<br />
20min). Preheat oven to 210<br />
deg C.<br />
Run a knife down the center<br />
of the avocados and carefully<br />
twist into two halves. Remove<br />
and discard the stone(s). Scoop<br />
a small amount of the avocado<br />
from the center to provide a<br />
large enough hole for your egg<br />
(save for topping the finished<br />
dish).<br />
Using a sheet of foil, crumble<br />
into a “nest” for your avocado<br />
to rest on without rolling over.<br />
Place avocados face up on a<br />
baking sheet.<br />
Crack one egg at a time into<br />
a small bowl, then carefully tip<br />
into the avocado. Don’t worry if<br />
a little bit of the whites overflow.<br />
Carefully place the baking<br />
sheet into a hot oven, allowing<br />
to bake for about 20min. Keep<br />
a careful eye on the eggs after<br />
about 15min. Meanwhile, cube<br />
the pancetta and add to a pan<br />
heated over medium-high.<br />
Peel and cube parsnip and<br />
add to pan, along with salt,<br />
pepper, and dried thyme. Saute<br />
over medium heat for about<br />
10min, until pancetta is crispy<br />

SPORT<br />
SOMETHING VERY sacred<br />
was taken from me when New<br />
Zealand Cricket released its<br />
domestic cricket schedule for the<br />
upcoming summer.<br />
Forget the Black Caps<br />
twenty20 internationals and<br />
the Black Clash cash-grab.<br />
When it comes to viewing<br />
cricket over summer, there’s<br />
nothing better than grabbing<br />
a couple of mates, filling a<br />
backpack with a box of your<br />
preferred poison and Lime<br />
scootering down to Hagley Oval<br />
for a day in the sun while sinking<br />
tins and enjoying the mediocrity<br />
of four-day domestic cricket.<br />
<strong>The</strong> best occasions would<br />
finish with a trip to the Pegasus<br />
Arms for a few more pints and<br />
a Sunday roast before passing<br />
out in bed at an earlier than<br />
respectable hour.<br />
I like to call it a dream Sunday<br />
– the best way to spend the day<br />
before going back to the grind on<br />

Bowling through a sleepy start<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> looks back each<br />
week at Canterbury’s<br />
sporting icons from<br />
yesteryear. This week<br />
Gordon Findlater talks to<br />
former left-arm orthodox<br />
bowler Mark Priest<br />
FALLING ASLEEP on the first<br />
day of the job was the beginning<br />
of a long and successful domestic<br />
cricket career for Mark Priest.<br />
Priest, 58, played more than<br />
200 first-class and one-day<br />
games between 1984 and 1999.<br />
<strong>The</strong> slow left-arm orthodox<br />
bowler took 290 first-class<br />
wickets for Canterbury – a<br />
record which stood until this<br />
year when it was broken by legspinner<br />
Todd Astle.<br />
However, after his first call-up<br />
to the Canterbury side as 12th<br />
man, Priest was better known<br />
at the time for his ability to take<br />
an afternoon nap rather than<br />
wickets.<br />
“I went up to Napier for a<br />
three-day match. I was the<br />
12th man and I fell asleep in<br />
the dressing room, so that was<br />
it for about two years until I<br />
got another opportunity,” said<br />
Priest.<br />
He played his first cricket for<br />
his dad’s team at Harewood<br />
before joining the Papanui High<br />
first XI, where a highlight was<br />
upsetting Christ’s College.<br />
In his early years with the<br />
Canterbury squad, Priest battled<br />
for the spinner’s spot with the<br />
likes of Stephen Boock, Garry<br />
MacDonald and Andrew Nuttall.<br />
In 1990 he went on New<br />
Zealand’s tour of England. He<br />
made his test debut in a draw<br />
with England in the first test at<br />
Nottingham. He took one wicket<br />
from his 12 overs, but was not<br />
included in the two remaining<br />
tests.<br />
Priest went on to play just<br />
two more tests for New Zealand<br />
over an eight-year period.<br />
He also played in 18 one-day<br />
internationals during the<br />
same period. One of his most<br />
memorable call-ups to the Black<br />
Caps came in 1998 when he was<br />
brought into the squad the night<br />
before a match against Australia<br />
at Eden Park after Daniel Vettori<br />
suffered an injury. At the time,<br />
Priest had just finished playing<br />
with Canterbury in Timaru.<br />
“Every time the selectors rang<br />
I didn’t believe it was them<br />
because a friend of mine Joe<br />
Harrison used to ring me up and<br />
have me on. He was really good<br />
at impersonating the selectors,”<br />
said Priest.<br />
“We’d just had a couple of<br />
pints at the end of the day and I<br />
get a call. He says ‘it’s Ross Dykes<br />
here’ and I went ‘oh yeah, yeah<br />
right’ . . . I just thought it was Joe<br />
‘Dream Sundays’ at the cricket not an option this summer<br />
One-eyed Cantab<br />

However, it won’t be<br />
happening this summer.<br />
When the domestic cricket<br />
calendar was released last<br />
week it contained a lack of<br />
dream Sundays – none in fact.<br />
Canterbury will play just two<br />
four-day games at Hagley.<br />
One from Monday-Thursday<br />
in October and another from<br />

also played more than 200<br />
first-class games.<br />

being a dick . . . I got a knock on<br />
my door about 11.30 that night<br />
and it was [Canterbury coach]<br />
Garry MacDonald, who told<br />
me Ross Dykes had called him<br />
and I needed to be in Auckland<br />
tomorrow.<br />
“At about 2am, I took the team<br />
van and drove to Christchurch,<br />
got a flight at about seven in the<br />
morning and then went straight<br />
to Eden Park and played.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> lack of sleep didn’t appear<br />
to bother Priest. He produced<br />
one of his best bowling performances<br />
for New Zealand with<br />
figures of 2-32 from 10 overs,<br />
including the wickets of Steve<br />
Waugh and Darren Lehmann to<br />
Wednesday-Saturday in March.<br />
To rub salt into the wound, they<br />
will play two four-day matches<br />
in Rangiora, both of which<br />
include a Sunday.<br />
To make matters worse,<br />
Canterbury’s four home 50 over<br />
matches – which will have free<br />
entry – will all be played on week<br />
days.<br />
I understand not many people<br />
go to watch domestic cricket<br />
these days, but it’s hard to argue<br />
any effort is being made to<br />
change that with a log jam of<br />
mid-week games.<br />
We should be embracing free<br />
entry and BYO food and drink<br />
help New Zealand to a 30-run<br />
victory. Priest was also handy<br />
with the bat. He scored 3945<br />
first-class runs, including four<br />
centuries, for Canterbury at an<br />
average of 30.58. He also scored<br />
a number of runs for Canterbury<br />
in one-day matches, but never<br />
got a century.<br />
However, he and many others<br />
at Lancaster Park thought he<br />
had scored a famous ton during<br />
a Shell Cup match, only to later<br />
discover there was an error with<br />
the scoreboard and he in fact was<br />
left on 98 not-out.<br />
“In those days you didn’t get<br />
too much opportunity to bat<br />
because when we had the full<br />
strength I used to bat 10,” said<br />
Priest.<br />
For a large chunk of his cricket<br />
career, Priest also worked as<br />
an electrician, and is still selfemployed<br />
in the trade. He also<br />
had a brief spell running a cafe<br />
on Colombo St with his wife<br />
before the 2011 earthquake.<br />
Priest says “playing cricket<br />
is the best job you could ever<br />
have” but one thing he admits he<br />
doesn’t miss is bowling to Craig<br />
McMillan during net sessions.<br />
“He was always trying to slog<br />
you out of the nets . . . I’d bowl<br />
until I got him out and then<br />
I wouldn’t bowl to him again<br />
because once you got him out<br />
he’d start slogging you over the<br />
stand,” said Priest.<br />
for our longer-form domestic<br />
cricket games. Why take a kid<br />
too footy when you can take a<br />
box to Hagley?<br />
But if you’re one of these<br />
new-age types who fizzes over<br />
twenty20 cricket, you’re in luck.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Canterbury Kings have five<br />
matches at Hagley, including<br />
three double-headers with the<br />
Magicians.<br />
However, you’ll be charged to<br />
enter due to your poor taste in<br />
preference of cricket format and<br />
pay close to $10 each time you<br />
want to wet your whistle.<br />

Linwood and Hornby<br />
reignite title rivalry<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
FOR A FOURTH straight year,<br />
the Linwood Keas and Hornby<br />
Panthers will battle to decide the<br />
Pat Smith Trophy on Sunday.<br />
When the two sides meet at<br />
Nga Puna Wai – the new home<br />
of Canterbury Rugby League –<br />
Linwood will look to claim an<br />
extremely rare fourth straight<br />
crown, while Hornby will try to<br />
remove a growing monkey off<br />
their back.<br />
Linwood dominated<br />
the 2016 (29-10) and<br />
2017 (34-20) finals.<br />
However, last year<br />
Hornby led by 12 late in<br />
the game before three<br />
Linwood tries saw them<br />
claim a dramatic 20-16<br />
triumph to complete an<br />
undefeated season.<br />
Since then, Hornby<br />
have been on a mission<br />
to return to the<br />
grand-final for another shot at<br />
redemption.<br />
“We talked about it in the<br />
shed after that final. We wanted<br />
to make a commitment with<br />
each other. I was keen to stick<br />
around and the boys were keen<br />
to stick around,” said Hornby<br />
coach Jed Lawrie.<br />
In some friendly build-up<br />
to the match, teenage Hornby<br />
forward Caius Faatili – who<br />
goes to St Thomas of Canterbury<br />
College – has been rallying<br />
together a group of students to<br />
Jed Lawrie<br />
great beer,<br />
great food and<br />
great service<br />
cheer on his side. Linwood are<br />
coached by Andrew Auimatagi,<br />
who is also a teacher at St<br />
Thomas’.<br />
“In assembly on Monday,<br />
(Faatili) made a public<br />
announcement looking to get<br />
the whole school down to Nga<br />
Puna Wai dressed in black<br />
to support him against me. I<br />
thought that was quite funny,”<br />
said Auimatagi.<br />
If they win a fourth<br />
consecutive title,<br />
Linwood will<br />
join an elite club<br />
which includes<br />
Sydenham (1953-<br />
56), Hornby<br />
(1964-67) and<br />
Papanui (1971-<br />
74).<br />
“We haven’t<br />
talked too much<br />
about the history<br />
of the four-peat,<br />
but it will be<br />
on their minds . . . the boys<br />
are just a competitive bunch.<br />
Right from preseason, they’re<br />
always looking to be better,” said<br />
Auimatagi.<br />
This year Hornby defeated<br />
Linwood 20-12 in their first<br />
meeting in April. However,<br />
Linwood won the next<br />
encounter 20-18 in June. <strong>The</strong><br />
two teams then met in the major<br />
semi-final, which was a mud<br />
bath at Linwood Park, earlier<br />
this month. Linwood won 12-10<br />
great bevvies<br />
to gain automatic entry into the<br />
final. At the weekend, Hornby<br />
defeated the Northern Bulldogs<br />
34-20 to book their spot.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y’re a dangerous team.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir style of play is pretty well<br />
known, they like to use the ball,”<br />
said Auimatagi.<br />
With both sides being well<br />
aware of what the other brings<br />
to the table and their recent<br />
record of close encounters, the<br />
Pat Smith Trophy is likely to be<br />
decided by a couple of big plays.<br />
“If you watch the<br />
last two finals, it’s<br />
been little one-on-one<br />
tackles, try-saving<br />
tackles, that have been<br />
the difference in the<br />
game of footy,” said<br />
Lawrie.<br />
<strong>The</strong> match will be<br />
one of four Canterbury<br />
Rugby League finals<br />
taking place at the<br />
same location on<br />
Sunday. It will be the first time<br />
a true finals day has been held<br />
since the 2011 earthquake.<br />

UC champs final<br />
expected to be<br />
a mud bath<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
A BATTLE OF the bog is what<br />
Christchurch Boys’ High School<br />
are expecting in preparation<br />
of their UC Championship<br />
final against Nelson College on<br />
Saturday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> final was due to be played<br />
at Trafalgar Park – Tasman’s<br />
home ground – but has been<br />
shifted to Nelson College,<br />
which was left in a muddy state<br />
following their semi-final victory<br />
over Christ’s College at the<br />
weekend.<br />
“After 10min, you couldn’t<br />
tell the teams apart apparently,<br />
so it’s not going to be much of<br />
a spectacle.<br />
Obviously the<br />
forwards are<br />
going to have to<br />
prepare really<br />
well because<br />
the game will<br />
be won and lost<br />
up front,” said<br />
Rhys<br />
Archibald<br />
CBHS coach<br />
Rhys Archibald.<br />
With rain<br />
expected today<br />
in Nelson, the likes of CBHS<br />
prop Ben Lopas are expecting a<br />
heavy workload.<br />
After recovering from surgery<br />
following a knee dislocation the<br />
year 13 student returned for his<br />
school’s win against Christ’s<br />
in May. However, a dislocation<br />
to his other knee in the match<br />
meant he missed a large chunk of<br />
the season before returning for<br />
a crucial win over St Andrew’s<br />
College at the start of the month.<br />
“It was very frustrating,<br />
obviously to come back after six<br />
months recovery and then do<br />
it again, but that’s rugby,” said<br />
Lopas.<br />
Since then the loosehead has<br />
been in scintillating form for<br />
CBHS, which have recovered<br />
from a bumpy start to the season<br />
to make the final.<br />
Lopas knows if<br />
they are to win a<br />
fourth straight UC<br />

RECOVERY: Prop Ben<br />
Lopas has been a standout<br />
performer for CBHS since<br />
returning from a dislocated<br />
knee.<br />
the forwards will need to be at<br />
their best against an impressive<br />
Nelson unit.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y’ve got a big forward<br />
pack, that’s definitely their<br />
strength they’ve got some good<br />
players in there,” said Lopas.<br />
One of the biggest obstacles will<br />
be Nelson loose forward Anton<br />
Segner. <strong>The</strong> German exchange<br />
student made the New Zealand<br />
Schools team last year and has<br />
become renowned for his ability<br />
to create turnovers.<br />
“What he does is he picks the<br />
moments he’s going to attack the<br />
ball in the tackle and when he<br />
does it he does it really well<br />
. . . if he makes the decision to<br />
go, 80 per cent of the time he<br />
wins a penalty or he will steal the<br />
ball. He’s bloody good at it,” said<br />
Archibald.<br />

12.40pm and will be broadcast<br />

Marist hope for upset<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
SOUTHERN UNITED and<br />
Carlton Redcliffs will go into<br />
the Canterbury premier league<br />
men’s and women’s hockey finals<br />
on Saturday as favourites. But<br />
Marist have hopes of spoiling<br />
their party and claiming a rare<br />
double.<br />
In the men’s final, Southern<br />
United will look to complete a<br />
clean sweep of titles after winning<br />
the President’s Shield, Porritt<br />
Cup and Challenge Shield.<br />
A win over Marist would also<br />
give them their first CPL title<br />
since the club was created with<br />
the amalgamation of Selwyn and<br />
Sydenham in 2014.<br />
Only lowly University scored<br />
less goals than Southern during<br />
the regular season. However,<br />
their success has been built on<br />
an impenetrable wall, which<br />
saw them concede just 12 goals<br />
LAURENCE PITHIE will<br />
return home with two junior<br />
world titles after bursting onto<br />
the international cycling scene.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Christchurch Boys’ High<br />
School student won rainbow<br />
jerseys in the madison and<br />
omnium at the UCI junior<br />
track world championships<br />
in Germany. It marked an<br />
outstanding campaign for<br />
Pithie, who only recently turned<br />
17 and will qualify for the<br />
junior worlds again next year.<br />
He started well in his quest<br />
to win the omnium, finishing<br />
fourth in the opening 7.5km<br />
scratch race, before taking on<br />
the tempo race, comprising of<br />
a sprint in each of the 26 laps<br />
after a four-lap start.<br />
in 14 matches. A key cog to the<br />
competition’s best defensive<br />
record is former Black Sticks<br />
defender Brad Shaw. He may<br />
have played 192 games for the<br />
national side, but Shaw said he<br />
still gets “as nervous for these<br />
games as internationals.”<br />
Over the weekend, Southern<br />
defeated Avon 3-1 to book their<br />
spot in the final, while Marist<br />
overcame Harewood 4-2.<br />
“We don’t have the superstars,<br />
but on the other side we don’t<br />
have any big gaps in our team,”<br />
said Shaw. “<strong>The</strong>y’re [Marist] in<br />
the final for a reason . . . they’ve<br />
got 12 or 13 really good players.<br />
If they get it together they’ll be<br />
hard to beat.”<br />
Marist will be hoping to complete<br />
a dream weekend, which<br />
will see their women’s team also<br />
go for the CPL title against an<br />
undefeated Carlton Redcliffs.<br />
“It is my weak link in the<br />
omnium and one I don’t usually<br />
do very well in,” said Pithie.<br />
But he broke clear to win<br />
10 sprints in a row to claim<br />
the honours and followed up<br />
with a win in the elimination<br />
race, where the last rider is<br />
eliminated every second lap.<br />
“I had a great start in the<br />
points race and collected points<br />
in each of the first five sprints,<br />
and from that point on it was a<br />
case of just covering wheels. I<br />
was absolutely knackered,” said<br />
Pithie.<br />
He claimed first equal in the<br />
points race to finish with 129<br />
overall.<br />
On the final day of the<br />
championships, Pithie paired<br />
<strong>The</strong> club’s back-to-back finals at<br />
Nga Puna Wai will make for a<br />
busy day for former Black Sticks<br />
defender Joe Bartholomew who<br />
will be on coaching duties during<br />
the women’s final before taking<br />
to the field in the men’s final.<br />
At the weekend, Marist<br />
defeated last year’s champions<br />
Harewood 2-1, while Carlton<br />
took care of HSOB/Burnside 3-0.<br />
Carlton are eyeing a clean<br />
sweep of titles, which has<br />
seen them go undefeated this<br />
year. <strong>The</strong>y dominated Marist in<br />
their first meeting of the year<br />
in May 3-0. However, Carlton’s<br />
5-4 win in their last encounter<br />
earlier this month was a far<br />
more even contest.<br />

30km race where no team was<br />
able to put a lap on the field. <strong>The</strong><br />
New Zealand pair won the final<br />
three sprints to seal the win.<br />

with one and a half laps to go<br />
and just put his head down and<br />
went for it,” said coach Myron<br />
Simpson.<br />

Coastal set sights<br />
on women’s<br />
football double<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
RECENTLY crowned women’s<br />
premier league champions<br />
Coastal Spirit can book a spot<br />
in the final of the Kate Sheppard<br />
Cup when they face Wellington<br />
United on Saturday.<br />
Coastal are the only<br />
Canterbury club to win<br />
the national knockout cup<br />
since it was first played<br />
for in 1994. In 2013, they<br />
defeated Auckland’s<br />
Glenfield Rovers 1-0 at<br />
English Park.<br />
Captain Chloe Jones is<br />
one of only a few players<br />
remaining from the side<br />
which won in 2013. She<br />
says thinking back to<br />
the triumph still “brings<br />
goosebumps.” She is confident<br />
this squad have a good shot at<br />
replicating the accomplishment.<br />
“It’s got a special place in our<br />
heart. I think it’s exciting for<br />
everybody, you get to come up<br />
against different people that<br />
you’ve never played before and<br />
it’s an opportunity for people to<br />
get seen at a higher level,” said<br />
Jones.<br />
Last month Coastal booked<br />
their spot in the semi-finals<br />
with a win on penalties over<br />
defending champions Dunedin<br />
Technical. Prior to that they<br />
started their campaign by<br />
defeating Universities 3-0 in<br />
the first round, Nelson Suburbs<br />
10-0 in the second and Waimak<br />
United 4-2 in round three.<br />
Now the only remaining South<br />
Island team in the competition,<br />
they will look to punch above<br />
their weight. Only Coastal and<br />
Dunedin have ever managed to<br />
bring the cup south.<br />
“We are closing that gap a little<br />
bit between the north and south,<br />
but it’s still a massive challenge<br />
for us going up to the North<br />
Island. Some of those Auckland<br />
teams are really strong with<br />
a big pool of players<br />
to choose from,” said<br />
Jones.<br />
“In terms of backing<br />
ourselves, we back<br />
ourselves in every<br />
game we go into and<br />
this weekend is no<br />
different.”<br />
Coastal admit they<br />
didn’t know too much<br />
about Saturday’s<br />
opposition when the<br />
draw was made.<br />
However, Coastal football<br />
development manager Gary<br />
Bennett says they have found<br />
a means of scouting the<br />
Wellington-based side.<br />
“We’ve got a lifelong fan who’s<br />
moved to Wellington and he’s<br />
gone to watch them three or<br />
four times and made some notes<br />
for us, so we’ve been looking<br />
through them . . . he’s been<br />
spotted now. It doesn’t help that<br />
he wears his Coastal Spirit hat<br />
everywhere, including to bed I<br />
think,” said Bennett.<br />
Earlier this month, Coastal<br />
captured their third straight<br />
premier league title on the final<br />
day of the season by holding<br />
rivals Cashmere Technical to a<br />
2-2 draw at English Park.<br />

Wellington at 1pm.<br />

after finishing the points race in the omnium.
Mazda CX-5 Takami<br />
gets turbo engine<br />
MAZDA IS well pleased<br />
with the success of its CX-5<br />
sport utility vehicle, the<br />
mid-size family wagon sells<br />
consistently in a very busy<br />
market segment.<br />
Last year it underwent<br />
a fairly major facelift,<br />
and that has helped<br />
keep the model fresh. As<br />
part of Mazda’s ongoing<br />
development process,<br />
another model has just<br />
been added to the CX-5<br />
line-up. Takami grade<br />
models are springing up<br />
throughout the passenger<br />
car range, and those<br />
vehicles have a higher trim<br />
specification including<br />
nappa leather.<br />
Takami sits over and<br />
above the Limited grade<br />
model, effectively you are<br />
getting a lot of ingredients<br />
which add character and<br />
enhance the look and feel<br />
of the CX-5.<br />
However, there is one<br />
other important feature<br />
with the range-topping<br />
CX-5. Takami grade<br />
variants get a turbocharged<br />
2.5-litre engine. Regular<br />
CX-5 models have the same<br />
basic engine construction,<br />
but they are sans turbo.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Takami is a standalone<br />
model using this engine,<br />
although it must be<br />
considered it is much the<br />
same unit that is fitted to<br />
the CX-9 which I evaluated<br />
in these columns in June.<br />
In the CX-5, the turbo<br />
unit works that much better,<br />
the vehicle is lighter than the<br />
CX-9 and, as a consequence,<br />
delivers better performance<br />
and economy.<br />
In terms of figures,<br />
Mazda rates the engine at<br />
170kW (5000rpm) with<br />
420Nm of torque also<br />
available low in the rev<br />
band at 2000rpm. <strong>The</strong>se<br />
are the figures which make<br />
this engine so desirable,<br />
it works tirelessly at the<br />
bottom end, it has been<br />
specifically developed so<br />
that fuel use is kept to a<br />
minimum, yet it will offer<br />
all of the performance<br />
ingredients that you would<br />
expect from a big four-pot<br />
turbocharged engine.<br />
<strong>The</strong> CX-5 Takami will<br />
reach 100km/h from a<br />
standstill in 8.8sec and<br />
will scamper through<br />
a highway overtake in<br />
4.7sec (80-120km/h).<br />
More importantly, it is<br />
gentle on fuel considering<br />
there is over 1700kg to<br />
shift. Mazda rate it with<br />
an 8.2-litre per 100km<br />
(35mpg) combined cycle<br />
fuel usage average. During<br />
my time in the test car the<br />
fuel usage readout was<br />
constantly listing around<br />
9.2l/100km (31mpg), with<br />
a 7l/100km (40mpg) figure<br />
MAZDA CX-5 TAKAMI: High grade trim and<br />
turbocharged engine.<br />
sitting instantaneously<br />
at 100km/h, the engine<br />
working right in the area of<br />
maximum torque.<br />
Don’t be thinking that<br />
because the engine works<br />
slowly and effectively at low<br />
speed that it won’t utilise the<br />
top end, it will sing to the<br />
redline without too much<br />
provocation and it enjoys<br />
that, but there is little need<br />
to have it in that area.<br />
• Price – Mazda CX-5<br />
Takami, $61,495<br />
• Dimensions –<br />
Length, 4550mm;<br />
width, 1840mm;<br />
height, 1680mm<br />

420Nm, six-speed<br />
automatic.<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 8.8sec<br />
• Fuel usage –<br />
8.2l/100km<br />
A lot of that is down to<br />
the engine management<br />
protocols and how they<br />
work with the transmission.<br />
<strong>The</strong> six-speed automatic<br />
gearbox is traditional<br />
Mazda fare, and I’ve written<br />
many times that simplicity<br />
is a good design and there<br />
are no surprises within the<br />
driveline, everything works<br />
traditionally and the result<br />
is efficiency.<br />
That’s something Mazda<br />
has been working on as<br />
a priority over the last<br />
few years, their SkyActive<br />
engines are fuel misers, and<br />
even in turbo form you get<br />
the benefit of significant<br />
power knowing that fuel<br />
isn’t being wasted.<br />
In the Takami’s case, the<br />
CX-5 carries four-wheeldrive<br />
mechanicals. With<br />
193mm ground clearance<br />
it has notable off-the-seal<br />
capability, and that is<br />
much on par with SUVs<br />
of this type, the CX-5 is<br />

particularly suited to that<br />
mid-winter trip to the<br />
alpine ski fields.<br />
I didn’t venture into the<br />
loose, my time with the<br />
test car was plagued by<br />
filthy weather and I wasn’t<br />
prepared to get stuck<br />
in low-grip situations.<br />
However, I did have a long<br />
highway drive taking in<br />
the twisty sections of State<br />
Highway 72 in and out of<br />
the Rakaia Gorge. Even<br />
in soaking conditions the<br />
CX-5 felt tightly connected<br />
to the road.<br />
What must be enjoyed<br />
is the ride comfort and<br />
control throughout the<br />
entire vehicle, it travels ever<br />
so smoothly and is quiet in<br />
motion. I guess when you<br />
are buying a vehicle that sits<br />
on the outer periphery of the<br />
luxury car market you’d want<br />
that to be case, and the CX-5<br />
Takami doesn’t disappoint.<br />
It also gets all of the<br />
upmarket kit for comfort<br />
and convenience, along<br />
with the latest Mazda<br />
suite of safety technology.<br />
I-Activesense has had a<br />
recent upgrade, and that<br />
makes the CX-5 just that<br />
little more appealing.<br />
While Mazda has<br />
done well with CX-5, the<br />
company knows there is lot<br />
of competition out there<br />
and it’s getting tougher day<br />
by day. I drove the Takami<br />
straight after a few days<br />
with Skoda’s Kodiaq RS,<br />
its turbocharged diesel<br />
engine is a cracker, and<br />
being priced close to the<br />
CX-5 Takami it’s a natural<br />
competitor and one which<br />
will keep the latter honest.<br />
For me, diesel power<br />
would be preferable,<br />
however, there’s also the<br />
Mazda CX-8 to consider, its<br />
Mazda’s diesel option in the<br />
mid-to-large SUV market.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are so many<br />
choices, I guess I’m lucky<br />
in a way that finances mean<br />
I’ll probably never have to<br />
face those decisions.<br />

REA - How property buyers<br />
can spot a healthy home<br />
Purchasing a house that’s warm and dry is a<br />
priority for many property hunters, but how<br />
can buyers identify a ‘healthy’ home?<br />
Real Estate Authority (REA) chief executive<br />
Kevin Lampen-Smith says there are a<br />
handful of key traits to watch out for.<br />
“A house that’s hard to heat can make you<br />
sick and miserable. In many cases, the key is<br />
good insulation,” Lampen-Smith says.<br />
<strong>The</strong> World Health Organisation recommends<br />
a minimum of 18 degrees in<br />
our homes. Insulation is often the most<br />
practical and cost-effective way to make<br />
a house more energy<br />
efficient. An insulated<br />
home is warmer in<br />
winter and cooler in<br />
summer, which can<br />
provide health benefits<br />
like reducing mould<br />
and damp.<br />
“Ask the agent or<br />
seller if the property is<br />
insulated, the type of<br />
insulation used and when it was installed.<br />
Ask your building inspector to check the<br />
state of the insulation,” Lampen-Smith<br />
suggests.<br />
Lampen-Smith explains insulation should<br />
be replaced or topped up if it’s less than<br />
12cm thick, doesn’t cover the whole ceiling,<br />
has become wet or damp, or been damaged<br />
by rodents or birds.<br />
“If a property you’re looking at isn’t insulated,<br />
it’s a good idea to budget for the cost<br />
of doing the work, as your health (and your<br />
wallet) will thank you in the long term.”<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s support available for some buyers,<br />
such as a Warmer Kiwi Homes insulation<br />
grant. Some local councils also allow property<br />
owner to add the cost of insulation to<br />
their rates and pay this back over time.<br />
When working to identify a healthy<br />
home, Lampen-Smith says it’s important to<br />
watch out for dampness. Signs of dampness<br />
include musty smells, damp or mouldy<br />
wardrobe contents, mould forming behind<br />
paintings or furniture, or mould or watermarks<br />
on ceilings or walls.<br />
“Condensation on windows, especially in<br />
bedrooms, isn’t necessarily a sign of excessive<br />
dampness if it only happens occasionally<br />
during winter,” Lampen-Smith explains.<br />
Ideally, the house will have extractor fans<br />
in the bathroom, kitchen<br />
and laundry that are<br />
vented outside. Fans<br />
should not be vented<br />
into the roof space.<br />
Good curtains can<br />
also help a house retain<br />
warmth.<br />
“It’s important to<br />
note that curtains aren’t<br />
necessarily included in<br />
the sale of the house, so ask about this and<br />
if the answer is yes, ensure they’re included<br />
in the list of chattels in the sale and purchase<br />
agreement,” Lampen-Smith says.<br />
According to EECA, good curtains<br />
should be floor-length and fit tightly against<br />
the wall or window frame. Sill-length<br />
curtains are ineffective. Curtains should be<br />
wider than the window frame and preferably<br />
be double layered with a thick lining.<br />
If the property has ineffective curtains, or<br />
does not come with curtains, buyers should<br />
factor this cost into their budget.<br />

A snapshot of what’s cooking<br />
at the Cashmere Club<br />
CHEF ANAS<br />
THIS THURSDAY<br />
Saturday<br />
Sunday<br />
Sunday 18 Aug<br />
THERE’S a new chef at the Riverview<br />
Restaurant in the Cashmere Club and<br />
with him comes an exciting new menu<br />
that incorporates traditional Kiwi<br />
classics with exciting new dishes.<br />
Hailing from Jordan in the Middle<br />
East, Chef Anas (pronounced Are-niss)<br />
specialises in fusion style cuisine. Some<br />
of the new menu options embrace his<br />
delicious blend of Middle Eastern<br />
flavours with the best of seasonal Kiwi<br />
produce.<br />
On the menu remain traditional Kiwi<br />
favourites such as Roast of the Day,<br />
Steaks cooked to your liking, the Club<br />
Burger, Fish & Chips, Curry of the Day<br />
along with Chef ’s new dishes such as<br />
Buttermilk Fried Chicken, Crispy<br />
Calamari Rings, Braised Beef Brisket or<br />
Cheesy Mushroom Quesadillas, Sticky<br />
BBQ Pork Ribs, and Creamy Basil Pesto<br />
Mussels.<br />
ere’s also ‘Platters’ that serve four.<br />
Piggy Platter (Braised Pork) and<br />
Chicken Platter (Whole Roast Chicken)<br />
that come with Slaw, Tortillas, Dips, and<br />
fried Potatoes.<br />
At the glance it’s obvious that menu<br />
prices are extremely reasonable. It’s also<br />
good to see that consideration has been<br />
given to special diets with a healthier<br />
slant on salads as well as a selection of<br />
gluten free, vegetarian and vegan<br />
options.<br />
As the menu evolves, foodies can<br />
expect to see a new decadent dessert<br />
menu introduced as well as a fresh<br />
kiddies menu.<br />
e Riverview Restaurant is open<br />
Tuesday to Sunday for lunch and<br />
dinner. Bookings recommended on 03<br />
