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

Hunker down, winter will be

THE START of spring will be a
little more wintry than normal.
National Institute of Water

meteorologist Ben Noll said it
will be a sluggish start to spring.
He said in spite of moments
where it will feel like spring, it
will be short-lived as “warmth
will be fleeting.”
“Warm

He said residents
may want
to keep a heightened level of
awareness of weather patterns as
there may be chilly spells which
could even bring in snow.
Mr Noll said it was too early to
predict the rainfall beyond the
next few weeks.
In spite of more than 600
sunshine hours, last year’s
average spring temperature of
11.2 deg C made Christchurch
the coolest of the main cities,
and the 218mm rainfall was
considered well above normal.

determine if unusual weather

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

immediately, said Department
of Corrections deputy national

Mr Milne said Corrections
was not a party to the bail proceedings.
Prisoner’s legal representatives
make applications
for bail on their behalf and the
decision to grant bail is made by
the district court, he said.
“A judge then decides whether
to grant the person bail and
what conditions they must
comply with. A person granted
bail is not in Corrections

NEO-NAZIS ARE selling
hardcover copies of the accused
mosque shooter’s hate-filled
manifesto online.
A far-right message board on
an encrypted instant messaging
site is selling the banned racist
document for US$4 (NZ$6.23).
The alleged gunman released
the rambling 87-page screed on
March 15 just moments before
the shootings which claimed
51 lives. It was posted on the
notorious 8chan website, which
is known as one of the darkest
corners on the internet.
New Zealand’s chief censor
has classified the manifesto as
objectionable. Anyone found to
be distributing it in New Zealand
could face up to 14 years in
prison, or a $10,000 fine.
While a 28-year-old Australian
national remains in a
maximum-security Auckland
prison awaiting trial, his banned
rants are being pushed on a
Ukrainian right-wing internet
channel created two days after
the mass shootings. It has more
than 1000 subscribers with its
admin user calling themselves
‘Hitler Himself’.
The channel features vile white
supremacy messages, memes and
videos and openly encourages

violence against people of colour
and Jews.
The admin says he was
inspired by the alleged killer
and wants to “maximise the
manifesto and everything related
to it”.
It is pictured alongside images
of guns, Hitler, and the former
Nazi leader’s own anti-Semitic
manifesto Mein Kampf.
On May 15, the administrator
says he was working on printing
out the document for widespread
dissemination. “I do not make
money on this. If someone
doesn’t have shekels to spare –
take the layout and print this out
on your own, not a problem,” the
channel admin wrote.
“The idea is to give paper
versions to everyone in a row, on
birthdays, wedding anniversaries
and baptisms of children. In
the first place, the inhabitants,
to open their eyes to our cruel
world.”
And on August 10, he boasts
of sending eight books to new
owners. The March 15 so-called
manifesto has allegedly inspired
other attacks around the world
in recent months, including at a
Californian synagogue in April
and this month at an El Paso
Walmart and a mosque in
Oslo.
The admin also encourages
people to write to the alleged
shooter in prison, and gives an
address where correspondence
can be sent.
An electronic copy of a letter
purportedly sent by the accused
from behind bars has also been
posted to the site.
Last week when it emerged
that the defendant was corresponding
with the far-right from
prison it drew criticism for the
Department of Corrections.
Christchurch white supremacist
Philip Arps, jailed for sharing
the mosque shooting video,
also had wrongly been allowed
to send his own “vile” letter to
a media organisation, it was
revealed last week.
Corrections chief executive
Christine Stevenson has said she
does not have confidence in the
current processes for reviewing

and has called for an immediate

LOGISTICAL ISSUES may
be considered in the decision
to move the March 15 accused
gunman’s trial out of the city,
says a high-profile Christchurch
lawyer.
But the extra costs associated
with moving the High Court trial
won’t be a factor in the decision
which will be made by Justice
Cameron Mander, said Nigel
Hampton QC.
“Justice isn’t
a commodity, it
can’t be bought
or sold either
way. That will
not feature in
the decisionmaking
process
regarding
change of venue
. . . the
requirements
of justice would trump the cost
aspect,” he said.
Earlier this month, defence
lawyers for the accused shooter,
Shane Tait and Jonathan Hudson,
applied to change the venue of
the trial.
The accused denies 51 charges
of murder, 40 charges of
attempted murder and a charge
under the Terrorist Suppression
Act for the attack at the two
mosques on March 15.
Mr Tait and Mr Hudson have
not publicly stated the reasons for
the application.
By law, a trial must take place
in the nearest court to where the
alleged crime took place.
However, if the defence can
prove there may be a risk of the
accused not getting a fair or
impartial trial, due to a reason
such as adverse publicity, it can
be argued that a change of venue
should take place.
Mr Hampton believes the
Crown prosecution may face
logistical issues if the trial is
moved out of Christchurch.
This will include organising
the travel and accommodation

victims of the attack, first

that the Crown might say should
come into the balance as well in
weighing up whether to change
the venue or not,” said Mr
Hampton.
The defence could argue due
to the publicity around the
event, there may be some undue
prejudices attached to or against
the trial rights of the accused.
“Given the degree of publicity
up and down the country, let
alone the rest of the world, it’s a
wee bit hard to see this would be
objectively strong.
“If they want to resist it, Crown
would suggest that in these highprofile
cases that it doesn’t matter
a damn whether it’s Invercargill
or Whangarei, everyone in this
country knows all about this
particular event,” he said.
The trial is expected to start in
May next year and could last six
to 12 weeks. The start date may
also be delayed by three or four
weeks.
The change of venue will be
argued on October 3.

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

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

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

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

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

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

THE NUMBER of women
running for the city council is
declining.
Seven out of 46 candidates
standing in the October local
body elections are women – 15
per cent of the total number of
candidates.
This is a decrease from the
2016 elections, when 12 out of 39
council candidates were women
(30 per cent), and in 2013 with
22 out of 54 candidates (40 per
cent).
Sara Templeton, who was
elected in 2016, believes the
amount of online abuse female
city councillors receive is a
reason for the low numbers.
Female councillors are
subjected to more personal
attacks and scrutiny than their
male counterparts, she says.
“During the last election
campaign, I had people comment
that I had worn the same shirt to
two different candidate meetings,
would that happen to a male
candidate?”
After Cr Templeton was
elected, she also received threats
about being run over and having
faeces left on her lawn.
“There is a difference between
general comments about council
and the very personal trolling,”
she said.
Four of the current 16 city

Cr Templeton thought it was

“It’s really important to have

the anonymous nature of the

The city council has more than

it would cost $14,000 to $22,000
to complete the work in each

The deadline for social housing

legislation requiring insulation

The law made it compulsory for

Ms Dalziel said.
“Women candidates are
particularly vulnerable in this
environment, particularly in
relation to veiled threats to

City councillor and former

comments online.
She thought the prospect of
unless it was not practicable

assessed its 2224 properties and
fitted units with insulation where
possible, but 930 were left uninsulated.
Tenants in these units,
including Mr McPaike, were left
to put up with freezing and damp
conditions. In today’s meeting,
the city council will discuss
options to accelerate the process
to make un-insulated social
housing drier and warmer.
With current funding, the city

online abuse would put a lot of

“The one thing that may be
disconcerting, not just to women,
but to a number of people is the
degree of negative comments
people feel that they are entitled
to make when referring to city
councillors,” she said.
City councillor Pauline Cotter
thought there were other reasons
which may contribute to less
women running for the city
council.
“I think it’s a known fact
that women are not so good at
pushing themselves forward proactively
as men are, so that may
be another reason,” she said.
City councillor Anne Galloway
said she has not encountered any

She said financial barriers

THIS IS what Lyttelton’s new
Collett’s Corner will look like
when it opens in 2022.
New images show the 2710
sq m, two-storey building set for
London St, which will include
a wellness centre, community
concierge, hospitality, retail, coworking
space
and apartments.
Ohu Development
is behind
the project,
and ran New
Zealand’s first
crowdfunding
campaign to help
pay for it.
During the
five-week campaign, 370 people
invested a total of $504,000.
As the minimum goal of
$300,000 was met, the project
could go ahead. However, because
the $2 million target was
not met, the opening was pushed
back from 2020 to 2022.
Ohu Development founding
partner Camia Young said in order
to raise the remaining funds
the business will take on a bank
loan and look into further equity.
Meanwhile, developers and local
real estate agent Vicki Tahau
Paton are aiming to seek tenants
interested in leasing commercial
spaces and residents to buy
apartments in September.
The majority of the building
must be either pre-leased or presold
in order for developers to
take on a bank loan.
The basement will be home
to the wellness centre, which is
envisioned to have hot and cold
baths, a sauna, a steam room and
therapy rooms.
On the ground floor, there will
likely be a gym, retail, hospitality
and consultation rooms.
On floors one and two, there
will be 18 studio apartments
and eight single-bedroom apartments,
and a rooftop terrace will
be exclusive to residents.
Those wanting to buy look at
paying between $420,000 and

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

GARDENING ADVICE
Today’s winning question came
from Jun Wan. Congratulations!
How do I deal with strawberry
runners? Keep them or dump
Q
them? I know sometimes we
need to remove them to keep
the energy mainly into fruiting, and other
times keep them as future strawberry
plants (we replace our existing plants
every three years). What is
the general rule for
runners of strawberries?
For growing advice and information on
products visit www.daltons.co.nz
A
Winter is the time for replanting the strawberry patch. Commercial growers
replace all their strawberry plants every year, but in the home garden, it’s
recommended that once strawberry plants have been in the garden
for two growing seasons, they should be replaced. As older plants
produce an abundance of runners, it’s important to remove
the healthiest and most vigorous-growing of the runners to replace your
old strawberry plants. A way to do this is to monitor your plants during
the summer fruiting season and tag the best performers eg: heaviest
cropping and best fl avoured strawberries. You can then divide the
runners from these plants for next season.
When it comes to strawberries for the family, it is almost impossible
to have too many strawberry plants! Excess runners can also be
used to extend the strawberry patch or be given to friends.
Remember to prepare new planting areas thoroughly by adding
Daltons Garden Time Compost to the soil and raise the beds
at least 100mm above the existing soil level. This allows the soil to
warm quicker in spring. Your new plants should be spaced around
150mm apart. Finish with a layer of mulch (pea straw or bark)
around plants.
Products to try: Daltons Garden Time
Strawberry Fertiliser, Daltons Garden
Time Landscape Bark and other mulch
products.
WIN a Daltons Premium Strawberry Planting Pack!
Strawberries are one of the easiest fruits to grow. They need maximum sun and maximum heat
to produce sweet juicy fruit. Start planting now through to early spring for a bumper summer
crop. With a Daltons Premium Strawberry pack, your strawberries will be tasty, juicy delights.
We have a pack to give away valued over $70, containing 2 x Daltons Garden

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

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

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

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

Gordon Findlater

However, it won’t be
happening this summer.
When the domestic cricket
calendar was released last
week it contained a lack of
dream Sundays – none in fact.
Canterbury will play just two
four-day games at Hagley.
One from Monday-Thursday
in October and another from
TRADIE: Mark Priest has
worked as an electrician
since leaving school and
also played more than 200
first-class games.

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

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

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

they are to win a

the forwards will need to be at
their best against an impressive
Nelson unit.
“They’ve got a big forward
pack, that’s definitely their
strength they’ve got some good
players in there,” said Lopas.
One of the biggest obstacles will
be Nelson loose forward Anton
Segner. The German exchange
student made the New Zealand
Schools team last year and has
become renowned for his ability
to create turnovers.
“What he does is he picks the
moments he’s going to attack the
ball in the tackle and when he
does it he does it really well
. . . if he makes the decision to
go, 80 per cent of the time he
wins a penalty or he will steal the
ball. He’s bloody good at it,” said
Archibald.
The final in Nelson kicks off at
12.40pm and will be broadcast
live on Sky Sport.

Marist hope for upset
• By Gordon Findlater
SOUTHERN UNITED and
Carlton Redcliffs will go into
the Canterbury premier league
men’s and women’s hockey finals
on Saturday as favourites. But
Marist have hopes of spoiling
their party and claiming a rare
double.
In the men’s final, Southern
United will look to complete a
clean sweep of titles after winning
the President’s Shield, Porritt
Cup and Challenge Shield.
A win over Marist would also
give them their first CPL title
since the club was created with
the amalgamation of Selwyn and
Sydenham in 2014.
Only lowly University scored
less goals than Southern during
the regular season. However,
their success has been built on
an impenetrable wall, which

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

49 points, ahead of Germany
on 35 and France on 27, in the
30km race where no team was
able to put a lap on the field. The
New Zealand pair won the final
three sprints to seal the win.
“Laurence missed the change
with one and a half laps to go

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

getting a lot of ingredients
which add character and
enhance the look and feel
of the CX-5.
However, there is one
other important feature
with the range-topping
CX-5. Takami grade
variants get a turbocharged
2.5-litre engine. Regular
CX-5 models have the same
basic engine construction,
but they are sans turbo.
The Takami is a standalone
model using this engine,
although it must be
considered it is much the
same unit that is fitted to
the CX-9 which I evaluated
in these columns in June.
In the CX-5, the turbo
unit works that much better,
the vehicle is lighter than the
CX-9 and, as a consequence,
delivers better performance
and economy.
In terms of figures,
Mazda rates the engine at
170kW (5000rpm) with
420Nm of torque also
available low in the rev
band at 2000rpm. These
are the figures which make
this engine so desirable,
it works tirelessly at the
bottom end, it has been
specifically developed so
that fuel use is kept to a
minimum, yet it will offer
all of the performance
ingredients that you would
expect from a big four-pot
turbocharged engine.
The CX-5 Takami will
reach 100km/h from a
standstill in 8.8sec and
will scamper through
a highway overtake in
4.7sec (80-120km/h).
More importantly, it is
gentle on fuel considering
there is over 1700kg to
shift. Mazda rate it with
an 8.2-litre per 100km
(35mpg) combined cycle
fuel usage average. During
my time in the test car the
fuel usage readout was
constantly listing around
9.2l/100km (31mpg), with
a 7l/100km (40mpg) figure
MAZDA CX-5 TAKAMI: High grade trim and
turbocharged engine.
sitting instantaneously
at 100km/h, the engine
working right in the area of
maximum torque.
Don’t be thinking that
because the engine works
slowly and effectively at low
speed that it won’t utilise the
top end, it will sing to the
redline without too much
provocation and it enjoys
that, but there is little need
to have it in that area.
• Price – Mazda CX-5
Takami, $61,495
• Dimensions –
Length, 4550mm;
width, 1840mm;
height, 1680mm
• Configuration
– Four-cylinder,
four-wheel-drive,
2488cc, 170kW,
420Nm, six-speed
automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 8.8sec
• Fuel usage –
8.2l/100km
A lot of that is down to
the engine management
protocols and how they
work with the transmission.
The six-speed automatic
gearbox is traditional
Mazda fare, and I’ve written
many times that simplicity
is a good design and there
are no surprises within the
driveline, everything works
traditionally and the result
is efficiency.
That’s something Mazda
has been working on as
a priority over the last
few years, their SkyActive
engines are fuel misers, and
even in turbo form you get
the benefit of significant
power knowing that fuel
isn’t being wasted.
In the Takami’s case, the
CX-5 carries four-wheeldrive
mechanicals. With
193mm ground clearance
it has notable off-the-seal
capability, and that is
much on par with SUVs
of this type, the CX-5 is
Motoring

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

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

resources about purchasing a home, visit

website for buyers and sellers.

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