‘Chicken’ call as tensions rise
Rival
camps
clash
behind
scenes
• By Louis Day
MAYORAL candidate
Darryll Park has been called a
“chicken” as tensions between
his camp and Lianne Dalziel’s
continue to heat up 10 days out
from the local body elections.
The chicken comment
comes after an incident at a
retirement home election event
on Friday – and another dustup
three days later.
On Friday, Mr Park refused
to address the 20 people at
an event at Summerset on
Cavendish in Casebrook unless
Aaron Campbell, Ms Dalziel’s
campaign manager, left the
room.
Mr Park, incumbent mayor
Dalziel, mayoral candidate
John Minto and five other
election candidates were
invited to speak to people
at the retirement home. Mr
Campbell, who is standing for
Environment Canterbury, was
also a speaker. After speaking,
Mr Campbell sat in the crowd,
which prompted Mr Park to
ask the organiser to tell Mr
Campbell to leave, which he
did. •Turn to page 5 TENSION: Darryll Park (left) has been called ‘chicken’ by Lianne Dalziel’s campaign manager Aaron Campbell.

White supremacist posters appear at university
• By Louis Day
THE SAME white supremacist
posters that appeared on the
University of Auckland campus
have been found on Canterbury
University’s campus.
A Canterbury University
student made a post on the USCA
Noticeboard Facebook group
saying they had found the posters
on campus and warned students
to keep a look out for them and
rip them off if they come across
any.
The posters encourage people
to visit the webpage of a white
supremacist group who wish “to
build a new generation of capable,
young white men who will
assume the mantle of re-taking
control of our own country.”
It has been reported that
women, non-Europeans and
non-heterosexual individuals
are excluded from becoming
members.
A Canterbury University
spokeswoman said they had not
come across any of the posters
but would remove any discovered
on campus.
Vice-chancellor Professor
Cheryl de la Rey said the
university will not tolerate
racism or harassment of any
kind.
This comes after University of
Auckland vice-chancellor Stuart
McCutcheon said the posters
were “unfortunate” but the
university would not be removing
them.
This has led to more than 400
university staff signing an open
letter declaring racism and white
supremacy has no place on the
campus.

Dumped rubbish could
jeopardise mill project
• By Louis Day
THE DUMPING of rubbish
outside the historic Wood
Brothers Mill could jeopardise its
$9 million restoration.
Developer Michael King has
been working
for more than
two years on
grand plans to
transform the
19th-century,
four-storey
former mill
building in
Michael King
Addington
into a mecca of
offices, restaurants, a theatre and
apartments.
However, he said the constant
dumping of rubbish outside the
building could jeopardise the
entire project.
“It drives me insane, I have got
the boys out there cleaning it up
and I’m paying their salaries to
clean it up. The other thing is the
state of the building, it is completely
covered in graffiti.
“I can’t afford to pay people 40
to 50 bucks an hour every week
to get rid of graffiti and rubbish,”
he said.
Mr King said he has installed
cameras due to the persistent
EYESORE:
Rubbish

the Wood
Brothers
Mill on
Bernard
St.
dumping and vandalism.
“It is cheaper for me to buy
cameras and monitor this, I can
yell at people through the camera
which freaks them out when the
building starts talking to them.”
Stage one of the restoration
was completed in July, which was
largely structural work, repairing
and strengthening the mill
before turning the building into
offices.
Stage two is converting the
grain store building into restaurants,
apartments and the community
theatre, as well as refit
with new roof and floors.
A glass tower joins the two
buildings with stairs, a lift and
toilets.
Mr King hoped to have the
project completed within a year.
“I can’t afford to not have it
finished by then.”
The restoration was previously
delayed due to a pay dispute
between Mr King and D & M
Solutions.
This led to delays to work on
the elevator, under-floor electricals
and heating, ventilation and
air conditioning, holding the
project up.
However, the dispute has now
been resolved and the work
completed.
Before that, the works were
delayed due to the creation of
unit titles taking longer than
anticipated to complete.
Mr King originally hoped to
have eight restaurants and the
theatre open by Show Weekend
and the apartments finished
early this year.

in brief
Mother of fraudster
also pleads guilty
A mother who helped her
fraudster son con people and
a finance company out of
hundreds of thousands of dollars
has pleaded guilty. Karinya
Isherwood will be sentenced
on December 6 on multiple
receiving charges for her role
in the $250,000 scam. Her son,
Brendon Karl Dean Harris,
also pleaded guilty to 12 fraud
charges. He obtained the money
by collecting the identification
details of people online, typically
using fake social media accounts
and advertising items for sale. He
then used those details to apply
for loans from Gem Finance.
The money obtained was
transferred into his friends and
family members’ bank accounts,
including his mother’s.
Arrests made after
police pursuit
Two people have been arrested
and charged after a police
pursuit ended with a vehicle
being stopped with spikes.
The pursuit on Saturday about
11.25pm started and ended on
Marshland Rd. Police attempted
to pull the vehicle over but it fled.
It was spiked and two people
were arrested and charged with

Bid to move accused
gunman’s trial
An application to move the trial
for the March 15 terror attacks
out of Christchurch is due to
be heard in court today. At a
call-over hearing in the High
Court, the accused gunman’s
lawyers, Shane Tait and Jonathon
Hudson, will argue the trial
should be transferred out of the
city to a different venue. The
accused gunman pleaded not
guilty to the murder of 51 people
and the attempted murder of 40
others, along with one charge
under the Terrorism Suppression
Act. Justice Cameron Mander
will make the final decision on
whether the trial, which has
been scheduled to start on June
2, 2020, will be moved. The
defendant will appear via audiovisual

Man avoids jail after cemetery
• By Anna Leask
A CHRISTCHURCH man who
sexually assaulted two women in
a dark city cemetery has avoided
jail and will serve a sentence of
home detention instead.
Richard Manoa Edwards, 28,
was sentenced yesterday in the
district court for the incident
– during which the women
thought they would be killed.
He earlier pleaded guilty to
indecently assaulting the women
on August 12.
Edwards also admitted robbing
one of the women of $70
cash.
Judge Stephen O’Driscoll
today outlined the offending.
He said the women were
working in the red light district
of Manchester St when Edwards
and another man approached
them in a vehicle.
It was about 3.40am.
Edwards negotiated a price for
sexual services and both women
got in his car.
The women were taken to a
house in the central city and the
services were provided.
They then asked the men to
drive them back to Manchester
St.
Edwards was in the front
passenger seat, and instead of
MONEY DEMANDED: The Barbadoes St cemetery where the victims were assaulted on
August 12.
returning the women to where
they had been picked up as
requested, he pulled a yellow
bandanna over the lower half of
his face and started demanding
his money.
He believed they had stolen
cash from him.
The men took the women to a
cemetery on Barbadoes St.
“Your voice and demeanour
changed dramatically and you
became incredibly hostile,” said
Judge Stephen O’Driscoll in
court yesterday.
He said one victim was
“hysterical and crying” and the
other was “too terrified to say
anything.”
“Both victims were terrified
and thought they were going to
die or be seriously assaulted.”
At the cemetery Edwards
searched the women, rubbing
‘Both victims were
terrified and thought they
were going to die or be
seriously assaulted’
– Judge Stephen O’Driscoll
his hands over both of their
bodies and taking cash from one
of them.
Edwards and his associate
then left in the car and the
women called police.
One of the victims was in
court to see her attacker handed
his punishment.
She provided the court with a
victim impact statement, but did
not want to read it aloud.
“It’s clear from the statement
that the victim if not both
victims were both absolutely
terrified,” said Judge O’Driscoll.
“One of the victims if not
both thought they were going
to die.
“One of the victims turned to
alcohol to assist her getting over
this ordeal.”
The Crown sought a sentence
of two years in prison for the
offending.
But defence lawyer Serina
Bailey implored the court to
hand down a sentence of home
detention.

sex attacks
Election dust-up
She said her client had been
in custody for 10 weeks following
his arrest and after that, he
was released on electronically
monitored bail and had adhered
to his conditions.
Due to this, she argued, Edwards
was “a good candidate”
for home detention.
“He has tried to self improve
which he has done to some
extent,” Bailey said.
“It would be a shame for him
to go backwards.”
She said his mother and
partner were “fully supportive.”
While his offending had been
“a shock” for them, they stood
by him – and were in court with
him yesterday.
“He has taken this very
seriously … he is very willing
to pay reparation for emotional
harm,” Ms Bailey told the
court.
Edwards brought the money
– including the $70 he took
from one victim – in cash to
court.
Judge O’Driscoll said a pre
sentence report stated Edwards
claimed he did not intend to
“seek sexual gratification” from
the attack.
Edwards told the report
writer that he recognised the
impact the attack had on the
victims and was “ashamed” of
what had occurred.
Judge O’Driscoll set a starting
point of 30 months in prison for
Edwards.
However, he gave him a sixmonth
discount for remorse, his
offer of reparation and willingness
to complete rehabilitation
programmes.
He took further time off the
starting point to account for
the time Edwards had spent in
custody, his time on electronically
monitored bail and the
guilty plea.
The end point came to 11
month’s jail – which meant
Judge O’Driscoll could consider
converting it to home detention.
The court heard that Edwards
said the attack was not premeditated,
rather he thought
one of the women had stolen his
money.
“I am prepared to convert the
sentence of imprisonment to
home detention,” he said.
He sentenced Edwards to
a total of five months home
detention and ordered him to
complete 150 community work
and pay each victim $1000.
Edwards will also be subject
to six months of post-release
conditions.

“I did not think it was an
inappropriate statement to make
(asking Mr Campbell to leave)
and that was supported by the
organiser,” said Mr Park.
But Mr Campbell said Mr Park
was incorrect. Ms Dalziel had
arrived early and had listened to
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board candidate
Jason Middlemiss’ speech
without any issues.
“I think he needs to be a little
bit more aware of what transparency
really means,” said Mr
Campbell.
“If you are running for office
everything you say is on the record.
I would just call it chicken.
“Come on, there is nothing
I would not have heard over
the last six weeks, I was just
interested.”
On Monday, there was more
trouble between the camps at a
St Albans Residents Association
meet the candidates forum,
attended by about 200.
Mr Campbell approached Mr
Park’s campaign manager David
Lynch and made an “up-front
comment” about Mr Park not
being there.
Mr Lynch said Mr Park was at
a Templeton Residents’ Association
election forum instead.
Mr Park has previously been
Lianne Dalziel
criticised for pulling out of a
mayoral forum in the eastern
suburbs at late notice, and has
been described as a ‘no show’.
The description has irritated
the Park camp.
Mr Lynch told The Star
yesterday Mr Campbell made a
number of “allegations” about
Mr Park’s absence from the
St Albans meeting. He told
Mr Campbell to “go away”
and thought matters could get
physical.
“I took none of this personally,
I have been around for a long
David Lynch
time,” said Mr Lynch.
Said Mr Campbell: “I was upfront
with him. I said where was
Darryll, why is he not here? Does
he not want to talk to the people
of St Albans.”
He disputed Mr Lynch’s
view the exchange could have
got physical, saying he was
“exaggerating”.
Mr Campbell said the rivarly
between the pair had started at
the Newstalk ZB mayoral debate
last month.

Feeling of frustration leaves west
Last week, The Star tested
the pulse of people into the
eastern suburbs leading in
the local body elections.
Today, reporter Louis Day
reports on a trip through
the western and northern
suburbs
A GENERAL feeling of
disinterest would best sum up the
climate of the west ahead of this
month’s elections.
“Keep walking mate.”
“Not interested.”
“I don’t do politics.”
About 70 per cent of people
approached by The Star did not
want to talk about the elections.
But some did.
The same feeling of frustration
which dominated the east was
mirrored in the west and northern
suburbs.
Julie of Hornby epitomised
the feeling of frustration that ran
deep across the west.
She said she was unlikely to
vote for any of the mayoral candidates.
“If I was on council I would
sort a few things out. I would
get somebody to do something,
people want things done.”
She thought something desperately
needed to be done about boy
racers.
“Those bloody boy racers, my
nephew refers to them as oxygen
wasters, and something needs to
be done about it.”
Gray Ussher seemed relaxed
and at ease as he lounged across
a sofa in the Merivale Mall.
However, beneath the surface, he
shared Julie’s frustrations.
LET US HELP YOU MAKE

“Sometimes I think we need
a sort of dictator who is going
to get things done and not try
to tend to everybody,” he
said.
Mr Ussher said he would be
voting for Darryll Park.
FRUSTRATION:
Gray Ussher
says he wants a
mayor who gets
things done.
“I don’t know the man
[Darryll Park] personally but
he has had some businesses and
I’m hoping if he gets elected
he will run the council like a

and north voter interest waning
“I am not too sure they [the
city council] do a lot of stuff
but the rates still seem to rise
and rise, they should focus on
the infrastructure and not keep
pumping up the rates.”
The same level of frustration
could be found at the Avonhead
Mall.
Ian Jenson was having a look
around Picadilly Book Shop. He
was leaning towards voting for
Darryll Park.
“The existing mayor is a political
hack. He [Darryll Park] is
the least useless candidate from
what I can tell, I don’t necessarily
think he is a great candidate
though,” he said.
Working at
the Hornby
Florist is Katrina
Donnithorne.
She says the mayoralty
needed a
“fresh face.”
She would
probably vote for J T Anderson.
“He is focusing on mental
health and I have a lot of friends
who have got lost in the system
and he is wanting to look into
that,” she said.
“I think we need a fresh face in
Christchurch and maybe just a
younger vibe this time.”
Oriana Toasland at Shampoo
‘n’ Things at the hub was not so
sure who she would vote for.
“Lianne has done her job but
she is not a stand out for me.
She was really good during the
mosque shootings though and I
do love a woman in power,” she
said.
Ros Thornley in Halswell was
backing Ms Dalziel.
She saw Ms Dalziel as the only
serious candidate in this month’s
election.
“I like Lianne, I’m not keen
on the other fellow Darryll Park,
he is too keen on business, we
need more of a focus on wellbeing
which is where I’m
thinking we should be going,”
she said.

a fundamental component of
John Minto’s campaign.
Molly-Rose Wilson, 24, of
Riccarton shared Mr Hamilton’s
views, believing free public transport
would be of massive benefit
to the city.
“There are a lot of people that
can’t afford to travel to go to work
so they don’t work and I think
that free public transport will
help, a few of my flatmates can’t
work because they can’t afford
the buses,” she said.

Cody Laing in Riccarton had
just finished work when he was
approached by The Star.
Mr Laing said he was not sure
who he was going to vote for but
knew exactly what he wanted
from his next mayor.
“I want a mayor that I can sit

Outside Westfield Riccarton,
Tony Dale said he would probably
vote for Ms Dalziel.
“I think she is a good mayor,
she has managed to strike a good
balance between rates rises and
getting the city back on its feet,”
he said.
Along the road at Rogues of

She was likely to vote for

“To me, he would be a

These quirky items are pieces
of art which are part of SCAPE
Public Arts 2019 art season that
opens on Saturday and will run
until November 16.
The first piece, a 16m sculpture
called Vaka ‘A Hina by Tongan
artist Sēmisi Fetokai Potauaine
was put up on Monday and an
opening ceremony for it will be
held today.
The sculpture’s foundation is
made up of the equivalent of 40
baths of concrete and two tonnes
of reinforcement.
It is one of two permanent
artworks and 12 temporary ones
which will be on display during
the art season.
Other works include a 2.6m
diving board, called The Pool.
The bright yellow board will
overlook the Otakaro Avon River
at the corner of Cambridge Tce
and Hereford St.
The artist behind the piece
Natalie Guy said the board being
stripped of its primary purpose
as a launchpad “becomes a surreal,
redundant and inaccessible
object.”
A fluorescent cube will also be
placed next to the Christchurch
Casino on Victoria St.
Wellington-based artist Tyler
Jackson’s Modulating Monolith
will pulsate with colour and light.
“It draws us close but allows

Underneath the Hamish Hay
Bridge in Victoria Square, a
recording of Phillipsz singing an
Elizabethan lute song composed
in 1596 will be played.
Phillipsz thought the James
Hay Bridge, which is the oldest
cast iron bridge in New Zealand,
was the ideal
location for the
artwork.
“Sound can
really act as
a trigger for
memory. It can

she said.

Sui Jianguo will be placed near

Ms Bugden thought Christchurch
was lucky to have an artwork
from one of China’s most
internationally celebrated artists.
“Everything comes from
somewhere. Made in China is
both a provocation – tapping
into contemporary anxieties
about buying local – and statement
of fact – it’s an artwork
made by a Chinese artist,” she
said.
At Cuningham House in the

Roundabouts for
two dangerous
rural intersections
• By Devon Bolger
TWO high-crash intersections
south of Christchurch are set to
get roundabouts.
The New Zealand Transport
Agency confirmed it will fund
the safety work at the Shands
and Blakes Rds and Springs and
Marshs Rds intersections at a cost
of around $9.7 million.
NZTA figures show since 2011
there have been two fatal crashes,
one serious, and nine minor at the
Shands and Blakes Rds intersection.
At the Springs and Marshs Rds
intersection, there has been one serious
and two non-injury crashes.
Detailed designs will now be
created and a substantial amount
of the work is due to be completed
by mid-2021.
Selwyn district council transportation
asset manager Andrew
Mazey said the long construction
period is due to the amount of
work required.
Said Mr Mazey: “The roundabouts
are expected to be dual lane
and of a substantial size that will
require significant changes to the
existing road corridor.
“Being constructed on two
main arterial routes to the
city and connecting to the
Christchurch Southern Motorway
extension means construction
will need to be safely staged
and balanced with the need to
minimise disruption to traffic.”
Swap, Meet & DiSplay
The weekend of Friday 11th to Sunday 13th October
will once again see the running of the annual
Vintage Car Club swap
meet at the club’s wellestablished
facilities at
Cutler Park, 661 McLeans
Island Road.
This annual event has now
been running for over 40
years. It is New Zealand’s
largest swap meet and is
well established on the
calendar not only for
car enthusiasts, but for
anyone who enjoys the
search for a bargain in
the huge garage-sale and
market styled atmosphere. Thousands of people visit
the event each year and there is something there
for everyone, whether it’s that elusive part for a car
or motorcycle restoration, a collectible treasure,
some item suitable for re-purposing, or simply for
a browse and a coffee or an ice-cream. It is a very
good day out.
As well as the hundreds of
individual selling sites, there
are displays of vintage and
classic vehicles, machinery,
and various amusements
suitable for the whole family.
Steam Scene will also be
operating right next door,
offering plenty of free parking
with ready access to the swap
meet, and cheap train rides
around their grounds. Plenty
of food outlets are also on site.
The Swap Meet is open from 8.00am to 5.00pm on
Friday 11th and Saturday 12th October, and from
8.30am to 2.00pm on Sunday 13th. It is best accessed
by following the signs to Orana Park in Johns Road
near the airport, or from Chattertons Road off Old
West Coast Road. Entry is only $5.00 for adults for
1 day, or $10.00 for a weekend pass. Children under
12 are free. Car parking is also free. Please note that
there is no EFTPOS at the entry gates, and that dogs
are not allowed on the site.

New life
for Sign of
the Takahe
• By Matt Slaughter
THE SIGN of the Takahe has
reopened.
An official opening event was
held at the historic venue on
Hackthorne Rd. About 400 people
turned up on the day to celebrate.
The more than 100-year-old
building has been closed since the
2011 earthquake.
It was leased off the city council
by Andrew Male and his wife
Kay at the start of the year. They
have installed a new cafe and
bar upstairs and revamped the
interior of the building.
Mr Male said reopening the
Sign of the Takahe was a great
feeling, given the months of work
which have gone into getting it
ready. “My wife and I have been
talking about and passionate
about it for the last six months,
but you know, sometimes you
look back and think I couldn’t
have done it without my team.”
He said visitors are excited
about having the iconic building
back up and running.
“It’s finally seeing the building
back open again that has a lot of
history, people have got history
with it.”
Mistake admitted over pamphlet
• By Sophie Cornish
THE CITY council has admitted
it made a mistake delivering a
pamphlet promoting cycleways
on the same day local body
election papers were delivered.
The $256 million Major Cycleway
Routes Programme has
been a highly contested issue in
this year’s elections, with mayoral
candidates squaring up over
its cost on ratepayers.
Papanui-
Innes Community
Board
member John
Stringer, who
is running for
John
Stringer
a council seat
in the Papanui
Ward, wrote to
city council acting chief executive
Mary Richardson last week
after he received a booklet Bike
easy Otautahi Christchurch bike
guide and map in his letterbox.
The guide arrived on the same
day as his election papers.
“Council staff are well aware
that infrastructural rates spending
on cycleways is a contentious
election issue,” said his letter.
In response, Ms Richardson
said the guide was not intended
to support any particular political
position.
“In hindsight, we could have
delayed the delivery of the publication
by a few weeks to avoid
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
GUIDE: A pamphlet promoting the city’s cycleways, such
as this one between Linwood and Sumner, was delivered
to households the same day as election papers.
a perceived conflict. However, at
the time we felt the information
was relevant to the time of year
and the need for our residents
to have up-to-date information
about cycling in Christchurch.”
“The timing of the guide is to
coincide with spring, when people
start to use a greater variety
of travel options (mainly due
to the warmer weather) to get
around. Its distribution is also
timed to coincide with Biketober
– festival of cycling.”
Ms Richardson said while
the publication is not able to be
recalled, further information being
delivered about cycling will
be delayed until after the election
on October 12.
Mr Stringer said he accepted
Ms Richardson’s response but
doesn’t accept council staff
wouldn’t have realised the conflict.
“It’s disingenuous, staff aren’t
that stupid. I don’t accept they
wouldn’t have known that.
There seems to be a lot of coincidences.
“That brochure should have
never been delivered; they
would’ve known it wasn’t inappropriate.
“I accepted the word of the
chief executive, I am thankful
they have admitted the error, but
they are either not attentive to
the rules they put out themselves
or they are disingenuous,” he
said.
Previously, mayoral candidate
Darryll Park promised to axe the
next phase of the project and halt
the entire project, pending an
overview of costs.
He was quickly criticised by
Mayor Lianne Dalziel, who is
seeking her third term, saying
that the cycleway he proposed
to axe, the $38m South Express
cycleway, has already been approved.
The route from Templeton
will go into the central city,
via Hornby, Sockburn, Middleton,
Riccarton and Addington.
Two city councillors, Papanui
Ward Mike Davidson and
Riccarton Ward Vicki Buck have
spoken out in defence of the
cycleways during the election,
saying that misinformation has
been spread about their cost.
“The city’s cycleway
programme has an impact on
the rates of approximately 0.17
per cent, per year,” said Cr
Davidson.

$23k crime cameras
confirmed for Sumner
• By Jess Gibson
A GROUP of Sumner residents
have finally won the battle to
get crime prevention cameras
installed in the village.
The city council has confirmed
it will fund the $23,000
installation of five cameras on the
corner of Mariner and Burgess
Sts before the end of the year.
Safer Sumner started advocating
for the equipment in December
2017 after a spike in crime.
The group’s spokeswoman
Kath Preston said it is “rapt”
to have closure after what has
been a “very long and confusing
process.”
“We’re very excited about it. It’s
taken a lot of perseverance, but
all we wanted was this result,”
she said.
Safer Sumner raised $4000
for the security cameras in 2017,
but was told to approach the
Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board for funding
when the cost jumped to $20,000
after police requested the cameras
be aligned with its system.
However, there was
confusion when a report in July
recommended the community
board decline the group’s
application for $16,187 to help
pay for the cameras.
The report was then pulled
from the board agenda at the

meeting the criteria within the
application.
Now city council head
of community support,

John Filsell said after discussions
with police, the decision to fund
the cameras was delegated to city
council staff.
The equipment, which
aligns with the police system,
will include four static cameras
and one camera able to pan
360 degrees with zooming
capability.
Mr Filsell said the location was
chosen as it will achieve the best
coverage of Sumner Village.

identity
farewelled
• By Louis Day
SKIING IDENTITY Anton
Coberger died on September 21
and has been farewelled by his
family in a private gathering.
Mr Coberger’s parents Oscar
and Dagmar established skiing
in the Arthur’s Pass area and
founded the Christchurch Ski
Club after immigrating from
Germany.
Mr Coberger and his siblings
took school lessons by correspondence
and were members of
the ski club from the age of five.
His first trip to Temple Basin
was in 1944, aged seven, on wooden
skis with no metal edge and a
fixed steel toe-binding.
His daughter Annelise
Coberger became the first Southern
Hemisphere athlete to win
a medal at the Winter Olympics
when she won silver in the slalom
at the 1992 games.
For 25 years she remained the
only New Zealander to win a
Winter Olympic medal after her
effort in Albertville, France.
She became the first New
Zealander to win a Europa
Cup event and was the slalom
champion in 1991 and 1992. She
also briefly headed the world
rankings in 1992-93.
Wheelchair user issues at sports stadium

CONCERNS HAVE been raised
about accessibility issues for
wheelchair users at Nga Puna

The city council say it is aware
of these concerns and will put
in place measures to improve

For wheelchair users, Ms Potter
said: “The fence around the field is
at their eyeline or just below it, so
you’re either looking through wire
netting or you’re looking at the
fence post along the top rail.”
Ms Potter who used to

concerns and have investigated
one complaint about the hockey
wheelchair spectator area not
being accessible. In this instance,
the limited access was due to
temporary fencing incorrectly
closing off the area. The issue was
rectified on the same day.”
Ms Potter said some of the
wheelchair seating at Nga Puna
Wai is separated from the other
spectator areas with little shelter
from the elements.
Said Mr Bailey: “Within the
covered spectator seating for
hockey there are dedicated
spaces at the top of the stand
for people who use wheelchairs.
Fixed seats are below this
viewing platform for other
spectators. The covered seating
provides some protection from
the weather, specifically rain.
UNFAIR:
Visibility from
wheelchair areas
at Nga Puna Wai
has been raised
as an issue and
the city council
says it will
take measures
to improve
accessibility at
the venue.
The rear and sides of the
stand provide some wind
protection.”
Ms Potter said accessibility
and inclusiveness at the facility
has to be improved.
“The premise is, is that
everything we do should be just
like an open door, it should be
built for everyone.”
Mr Bailey said the city
council’s current plans to
improve accessibility at Nga
Puna Wai will involve installing
“improved signage directing
wheelchair users to the accessible
viewing stands.”

THE ARTS Centre as we know it
has been part of Christchurch’s
landscape for generations –
but this glimpse of one of its
buildings standing alone on a
dusty unpaved road is unfamiliar
to many of us.
From 1877 until the mid-1950s,
the Arts Centre was buzzing
with students, as Canterbury
College (now Canterbury
University) and Christchurch
Girls’ and Boys’ High Schools
used the buildings as a campus at
various times.
The buildings were transferred
to the Arts Centre Trust Board
when Canterbury University
completed its move to Ilam in the
1970s.
Designed by prominent
architect Benjamin Mountfort,
this Gothic Revival tower served
as the Observatory and Biology
building, with a telescope gifted
by James Townsend located in
the Observatory right at the top
when this photo was taken.
The historic Townsend
Telescope, a six-inch refractor
made by Thomas Cooke and
Sons of York, England, in 1864,
was recovered from the rubble of
the Arts Centre tower after the
February 22, 2011, earthquake.
The Arts Centre and
Canterbury University plan to
restore the building and the
telescope.

attention on Canterbury
University’s student leadership
has led to a new, unique degree
being offered.
From next year, the
university’s College of

This degree will aim to
“build on UC’s international

Volunteers needed – little
interest in port patrol
• By Jess Gibson
LYTTELTON residents have
been complaining about crime
and a lack of police presence.
But only seven people have
put their hand up to volunteer
for a community patrol team,
aimed at keeping an eye on the
port and harbour areas when the
police are not there.
A community meeting
with police and more than 80
residents was held to discuss the
ongoing concerns people have
with crime including vehicle
theft and damage.
A solution was to have one of
the City to Sumner Community
Watch vehicles patrolling
Lyttelton.
But the plan is on hold because
of the lack of response from
residents.
Banks Peninsula Community
Board candidate Reuben
Davidson, who has been pushing
to get volunteers, hosted a dropin
meeting for the patrol on
Saturday.
It was attended by nine people,
including City to Sumner Patrol
secretary Kathy Bessant and
former chairman Allan Bain.
“Everybody is busy, so it can
seem difficult for people to
commit to the patrol . . . but it
is a small commitment and it
doesn’t have to be hard work,”
Mr Davidson said.
Mr Davidson said at least six
more volunteers were needed
if the plan to have a designated
community patrol vehicle in
Lyttelton was to proceed.
The car is staffed by two
volunteers each time they go out
on patrol. Volunteers must be
over 25 with a licence and would
have to complete a standard
police check and basic training.
Mrs Bessant said if the car
was housed in Lyttelton, people
would just have to pick it up,
patrol for three or four hours
and return it.
She said as a Lyttelton resident,
she does not think people should
have to come in from the city to
patrol in the area.
“Really, we’ve got to do it
ourselves,” she said.
She said residents should still
continue to protect themselves
from crime by locking up their
cars and properties to deter
offenders.
Senior Sergeant Roy Appley
said he was not disappointed
at the lack of numbers as
“volunteers are volunteers.”
“We would be lucky to have
volunteers of any type and any
number,” he said.
•If you want to get involved
with a community patrol
in Lyttelton, phone Mr
Davidson on 027 255 5899
or Mrs Bessant on 027 466

An adorable attention hog
IT WAS MY birthday this week,
which means it’s almost been a
whole year that I’ve been the stayat-home
parent.
Wow, time really does fly when
you’re having fun.
And in spite of the fact that this
can be really hard work, it’s no
job. I still wake up in the morning
and am stoked about every
coming day. Even if I’m waking
up because a tiny person with too
much energy is forcing my eyes
open.
It’s an absolute privilege to see
my daughter grow and learn while
forming a close bond with her.
Part of her growth that I’ve
noticed a lot of this past week is
that she is becoming one sassy
wee extrovert.
She’s at the stage where she
loves being centre of attention
or at the very least, part of the
action. I guess this stage might
never end, but right now she’s got
to try everything and be noticed
while doing it.
That could be anything from
dominating the playground, helping
with chores, pretending to
drive the car or being the star of
any activity.
At our last couple of Wā Pēpe/
Babytimes, she’s spent the whole
time in the middle of the group,
dancing to the songs and bathing
in the adulation of her fans (the
other parents).
My place has been downgraded
to halfheartedly singing and
dancing along so as not to feel too
left out.
But if she can’t impress her way
into the centre of attention, she’s
just started trying something new
to get an audience.
While visiting a mate in Rangiora,
his two young boys (four
and two) had pulled out an old
guitar to have a jam.
Seeing that the brotherly duo
were the stars of the lounge with
their rendition of the classic
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star,
Vittoria went full front row

not garnering the attention she
craved, so she lifted her shirt and
spun around on the spot.
Now, said mate and I have
long been metal fans and are well
versed with your standard familyunfriendly
groupie show antics,
so this drew raucous laughter
from him and a sort of giggling
cringe from me.
Her outgoing attitude and
willingness to be the star are
endearingly wonderful and I’ll
always encourage them. I just
hope it doesn’t lead to too much
giggly cringing on the part of her
father.

Kate’s been saving lives since she was 13
KATE SUTER remembers
the adrenaline rush that shot
through her during her first
rescue as a rookie lifeguard at
the Sumner Surf Life Saving
Club.
She was 13 at the time, and
pulled a woman from a rip after
she struggled to stay afloat while
swimming from Southshore to
Sumner.
Suter was with her father
Trevor when she swam out into
a rip by Shag Rock on Sumner
beach with a surf rescue tube
and fins.
“It was an outgoing tide so the
rip was taking her out to sea,
towards the Sumner sandbar,”
she said.
“It is a very dangerous spot
that often looks wrongly calm
and safe to members of the
public.”
The rescue took about 5min,
and Suter said the woman was
fine once she was returned to the
beach.
Now the 25-year-old has been
recognised for helping other
young lifeguards undertake their
first rescues.
She was named instructor
of the year at the Surf Life
Saving New Zealand Awards of
Excellence.
Suter said she was humbled to

Suter is the head instructor

She also leads the Canterbury

The coming week
in our history
October 3, 1888 – The
New Zealand Natives played
their first game in the United
Kingdom, beating a Surrey XV.
The privately organised rugby
team was the first to wear the
silver fern and an all-black
uniform.
October 4, 1957 –
Inspired by footwear he had
seen in Japan, businessman
Morris Yock and his son
Anthony began manufacturing
this simple rubber footwear in
their garage in 1957. The name
‘jandal’ combined the words
‘Japanese’ and ‘sandal’.
October 5, 2011 – The
German-built Rena was the
largest ship ever wrecked in
New Zealand waters; spilling
oil into the Bay of Plenty.
October 6, 1769 – Ship’s
boy Nicholas Young received a
gallon of rum and had a headland
named after him for being
the first aboard HMB Endeavour
to spot land (Poverty Bay)
in the south-west Pacific.
October 7, 1917 -
German Count Felix Graf von
Luckner (known as the Sea
Devil) who had sank 14 Allied
ships in the Atlantic and Pacific
arrived in Auckland after being
captured. His escape on
December 13 made national
headlines. Recaptured in the
Kermadecs eight days later, von
Luckner was sent to Rīpapa
Island in Lyttelton Harbour.
October 8, 1941 – Dairy
farmer Stanley Graham killed
seven people in Kōwhitirangi
on the West Coast. One of New
Zealand’s largest manhunts
ended when Graham was shot
on the evening of October 20.
He died of his wounds the following
day. The tragedy began
when Graham refused to hand
over his rifle to police as part of
the war effort.
October 9, 1967 – Fifty
years of six o’clock closing in
pubs (known as the six o’clock
swill) ended after a referendum.
I READ former mayor Garry
Moore’s opinion piece in the
city’s daily newspaper this week
with interest.
Moore is a very astute
individual, known for his
social conscience. With his
accountancy background, he is
canny with the numbers, and of
course he still has a big interest
in local body politics.
Moore’s
article was
aimed at
those mayoral
candidates
trying to woo
voters with
promises of
zero rates
increases.
Moore is a
Lianne Dalziel supporter who
is seeking to be returned for a
third term. She says zero rates
increases are not practical.
One of her closest rivals,
Darryll Park, has been beating
the drum about zero rates
increases if he is elected and
pruning the city council’s budget
by $100 million – which includes
cutting ratepayer-funded
neighbourhood barbecues. That
part of the equation was simply
dumb, and showed a lot of
political naïvety.
Moore’s article was a direct
swipe at Park in what is
becoming an increasingly testy
election campaign between
those who support Dalziel, and
those who support Park as well.
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Moore says if there is zero
rates increases, it would severely
reduce maintenance on roads,
footpaths, gutters, water
systems, river banks, council
facilities, dredging of rivers,
berms, waterfronts, swimming
pool and some small libraries
would all have to close.
It is a direct warning to voters
that if they give a tick for Park
the above will happen.
But hold the phone for a
second . . . close small libraries?
Ten years or so ago a Mooreled
council decided they would
close suburban libraries, two
from memory.
There was a major backlash
From the

Barry Clarke
from the two communities
which would be affected, leading
to petitions and pleas to not go
ahead with the plan.
The council refused to yield.
Those libraries would close
seemed to be the blinkered
mantra.
So The Star and its community
newspapers launched a
campaign called Save Our
Libraries. We editorialised, we
published letters from the many
who were upset about the idea,
we put councillors and Moore
on spot. Why were they doing
this? It was simply a dumb idea.
Libraries are core facilities in
any community. They are places

They are places where the

was still lost on the city’s elected

We ran photos of all the city

cellphone numbers. We urged
our readers to call them and
make a verbal submission to
keep the libraries open.
It worked.
Councillors’ mailboxes were
swamped with callers. One
councillor rang me slightly
distressed. He also had a
business. Clients and prospective
clients were unable to leave a
message. Within days, I received
a call from the mayor’s office.
Did I have a reporter and
photographer available?
Why, I asked.
“The mayor is going to a make
statement about the libraries,”
came the reply.
Victory, I thought.
A couple of hours later The

library. Moore with one of the
petition organisers was there.
He announced the council had

If this was played in another

roles, and it took the show up to
another level on the professional
scale.
Leading Filipino performer
Marcus Rivera was absolutely
mesmerising in the sleazy,
calculating, borderline-creepy
role of The Engineer.
Although you could say The
Engineer is the antagonist of
the show – selling women at his
seedy club – I couldn’t help but
love the cheeky persona Rivera
displayed in what is a complex
role, and he also provided some
much-needed comic relief.
If You Want To Die in Bed
and The American Dream were
absolute standouts by Rivera,
who was backed by a sparkling
cast. Both musical numbers
brought the razzle-dazzle of
Broadway to the stage, and
portrayed The Engineer’s
desperate plight to obtain a visa
to live in the United States.
Tina Bergantinos-Panlilio was
angelic in her role as Kim. She
has one of the most beautiful,
world-class voices I have ever
heard from a performer in a
Showbiz production.
Forced into prostitution before
falling in love with a US GI,
Bergantinos-Panlilio owned the
historically career-transforming
role of Kim. What really tugged
at the heartstrings was the way
she portrayed the unbreakable
bond Kim has as a mother with
her son Tam.
There was so much to take in,
but two moving numbers were
The Movie In My Mind and Bui
Doi.
Miss Saigon deals with mature
themes, including prostitution,
exploitation, violence and
suicide, which requires a brave
cast to be able to pull it off.
Wearing minimal clothing and
playing the role of prostitutes
would have taken an immense
amount of courage from the
female ensemble. I admire
the confidence the women in
this show have and how they
executed such a difficult role in a
professional manner.
The Movie In My Mind, led
beautifully by Sion Choi and the
bar girls, was a cold slap in the
face as it explored the hardships
inflicted on women in the war,
especially how it expressed their
dreams of a better life and their
desperation to escape to the US.
Bui Doi was another powerful
number which advocated for
the Vietnamese and American
children conceived during the
war. The song was impressively
led by powerhouse James Foster
in the role of John the GI and
backed by a strong male cast.
Miss Saigon was educational,
genuine and takes audiences on
an emotional roller coaster ride. I
would happily go see it again.

YOUR YARD
Your Yard
If you are planning to have people over in
a week or so, there are a few things you can
do quickly to make your garden look good.
First up there’s the lawn, if you have one.
Resist the temptation to put off mowing it
thinking you can have one big cutting day.
A good-looking lawn will ``hide’’ a lot of
garden sins but to look lush and carpetlike
it needs regular, light trimming. It is
therefore worthwhile finding the time to
run over it frequently, no matter how busy
you may be.
Equal in impact value is trimming edges
and hedges. If these look tidy your garden
looks tidy even if it is sporting some weeds.
On the other hand, if they are ragged, they
will set an unruly tone. As far as the weeds
go, knock them back with weed killer if
that’s your preference. This is important
with weeds growing in driveways or
between patio pavers but you will need to
chip the dead and near dead ones away in
those areas.
If your time is very limited, don’t worry
about weeds in the garden unless they are
large, if it’s impact you are after there are

more fruitful things you can do. Patios,
decks and driveways near the house should
get close attention. Find time to get rid of
any algae and mould and remember that
recoating or repainting can have a big effect.
If you have bare garden areas, consider
some closely planted annuals to cover the
ground and give some colour through the
hot weather to come.
See if your budget will stretch to potted
annuals already in flower for an instant
effect or at least use these for a back row
with cheaper seedlings in are brilliant,
providing attractive and practical outdoor
kitchen areas.
It’s better still, if your time is limited, to
concentrate on filling some large containers
with flowers or large patio plants. In the
short term, these will have much more
impact for the time invested and can lift a
garden from being merely okay and orderly.
Size and combined mass count here, so go
for big containers or a number of mediumsized
ones grouped closely together.
Remember too, the closer they are to your
garden visitors, the bigger they will seem.

This means it makes sense to concentrate
on pots close to the house, front door and
outdoor living areas for maximum impact.
Your next area for attention should be the
outdoor living area. If it has a bare wall,
consider adding a piece of art. If your
furniture is looking tired and you want
to make a big impact for very little work,
consider shouting yourself some new items.
An alternative, if your budget needs
babying, is to recoat or re-stain existing
furniture.
While our focus is still on furniture, another
addition that can have a big impact is
adding some cushions to your outdoor
furniture. Go for plump ones in strong
bright colours or earthy tones - wishy-washy
pinks and blues definitely won’t do the job
here.
Finally, on the day or the day before you
want your garden to look its best, give your
deck or patio and driveway areas a wash
or sweep so they look pristine. Your guests
will notice your flowers, neat hedging, lush
lawns and attractive outdoor living areas.

GARDENING ADVICE
Today’s winning question came
from Usha Ram. Congratulations!
I want to grow coriander this
summer. I want faster
Q
germination of the seeds as it
takes 3 weeks for them to grow.
Should I plant the whole seeds or as my
friend suggests, slowly split the seeds
into half with a rolling pin and soak the
seeds overnight?
A
WIN a Daltons Premium Lawn Care Pack!
Germination of coriander seed is usually
much quicker than three weeks. The normal
germination period is 10 to 12 days. Because of
this rapid germination there is no need to soak
the seed over night or to split the seed case
with a rolling pin.
Remember to sow the seed in fresh Daltons Premium
Seed Raising Mix for a better strike rate. Sprinkle the
seed evenly on the surface of the mix and then lightly
cover with more mix. Water carefully (with a spray bottle) to
ensure the germination process begins, and maintain the
soil’s moisture without overwatering.
At this time of the year, place the tray or large pot into
which you have sown the seed in a warm part of your
property. This will speed up the germination process.
Repeat sowing of coriander seed at 4-5 weekly intervals to
ensure a regular supply of fresh coriander for your kitchen.
Products to try: Daltons Organic Bio-fungicide
Granules.
For growing advice and information on
products visit www.daltons.co.nz
Spring is a good time for repairing or planting a lawn because the soil is warmer which makes
grass seed germination more successful. Apply Daltons Premium Lawn Fertiliser to existing
lawns from late September and avoid mowing too ‘close’ initially in spring. Check mower blades
are sharp to make the cut cleaner; otherwise they can tear out the grass and damage growth.
We have a Daltons Premium Lawn Care Pack valued at over $70 to giveaway which
contains a Daltons Garden Time Lawn Fertiliser, Daltons Lawn Patching Gold, Daltons
Premium Lawn Soil, plus a pair of comfortable Red Back gardening gloves from Omni

TEEN GOLF sensation Kazuma
Kobori is due to tee off at Pegasus
today.
It will be his first professional
tournament on the course since
a remarkable win at the NZ PGA
Championship almost seven
months ago.
In March, the 17-year-old
finished four shots clear of his
nearest rival and 21-under-par en
route to becoming the first ever
amateur to win New Zealand’s
second biggest professional
tournament.
Today he is set to start the first
round of the DVS Pegasus Open,
which is part of the Charles Tour.
His previous success on the course
will make him a contender among
some of New Zealand’s top pros.
“It just really gives me more
confidence knowing I went
21-under. Even if I’m not feeling
great, I still have in the back of my
mind that I’ve done that before and
have the ability, too,” said Kobori.
The tournament will finish a
busy 10 days for the Rangiora High
School student. He only arrived
back in Christchurch on Tuesday
after competing at the Asia-Pacific
Amateur Championship in
Shanghai, China. He finished fiveover-par
and tied for 35th at the
130-strong amateur event.
“The rough was like nothing I’ve
ever experienced before, it was so
heavy. You had to lay up on par
fours if you missed the fairway,”
said Kobori.
Next year Kobori won’t take
the path many other top young
New Zealand golfers have. Instead
of taking a scholarship to a top
United States university, he will
study by correspondence to
allow him to play as much golf as
possible.
“I definitely considered it, but if
SPORT 31
Kazuma returns to Pegasus
Tower JuncTion
you go to college you play probably
50 per cent of the events. I play
maybe 30 events a year. If you go to
the States that cuts down to about
15, considering you make every
team that season and making the
team over there is pretty hard,”
said Kobori.
He also plans to stay an amateur
for at least the next 12 months to
be eligible to play in events such
as the British and United States
amateur championships.
He also wants another crack
at the Asia Pacific tournament
next year. The winner of the event
receives entry into the Masters and
Open Championship.
“For now, it’s the smarter play to
stay amateur and try to win those
big events and get exemptions,” he
said.
Kobori tees off at 12.30pm and
will play in a group with Mark
Hutson and one-time European
Tour event winner Mark Brown.

Canterbury’s biggest Ranfurly Shield fan
• By Gordon Findlater
FOR SOME 13 is an unlucky
number – but that’s how many
times Kevin Lundon hopes to
have seen Canterbury claim the
Ranfurly Shield after his trip to
Dunedin on Saturday.
Lundon, 73, attended his
first Ranfurly Shield clash in
1950 when he travelled with
his father at the age of four to
watch Canterbury claim the
Log o’ Wood from Otago 8-0 at
Carisbrook.
He has attended every
shield match involving
Canterbury since. So when
Otago defended the shield
against Waikato over the
weekend, he immediately
booked his tickets and made
travel plans for the challenge at
Forsyth Bar Stadium.
Lundon’s passion for rugby
started when he attended
Canterbury matches with his
father Ronald who represented
South Canterbury.
Since then he has gone above
and beyond what most would
consider a die-hard fan.
“It just grew. As I got older, I
understood and appreciated the
good teams they had because
they were very successful. It
made you more interested and
keen to go,” said Lundon.
In 1970, he became a
foundation member of the
Canterbury Rugby Supporters
Club.
Lundon was also Larry the
Lamb for about 20 years, which
included a permanent stint from
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
1973-1983.
He says there were many perks
to the job, such as looking after
the Ranfurly Shield at his home
overnight.
However, he also had some
run-ins with the pesky away
fans, which included having
grass thrown through his mouth
piece in Hamilton and being
punched in the testicles by a
child in Wellington during a
lolly scramble.
“Obviously he hadn’t got any
lollies . . . I couldn’t believe it. I
said ‘you little bastard’ but no
one can hardly hear you from
out of the mouth piece anyway,”
he said.
Lundon’s favourite shield
memories include Canterbury’s
come-from-behind win over
Wellington at Lancaster Park in
1983, and a late Robbie Deans
penalty in 1982 which earned
them a 15-15 draw with Counties
Manukau to retain the shield
and win the NPC.
Canterbury’s 3-3 draw against
Wellington in 1970 to retain the
shield also makes his list of top
moments.
“Fergie McCormick dropkicked
a goal to make it three-all
just before full-time,” said
Lundon.
Another famous memory for
Lundon came in 1973 when
Canterbury lost to Marlborough
6-13 in one of the biggest shield
upsets ever.
“I can even remember
when we lost the shield to
Marlborough in 1973. I forget
the number of times we
gave the ball in the scrum to
‘Fergie
McCormick
drop-kicked a
goal to make
it three-all just
before full-time’
– Kevin Lundon
COMMITTED:

Shield challenge

Right – Lundon with
the shield in 1983.
Marlborough, it was just about
the whole game. I remember the
name of the referee was Barry
Dawson from Southland. There
was a bit of controversy around
how many times he gave the ball
to Marlborough,” he said.
Lundon plans to continue
attending Canterbury’s home
matches and Ranfurly Shield
challenges until he “can’t move
or runs out of money.”
Canterbury have only won
three shield challenges which
Lundon hasn’t attended – 1927

against Manawhenua, 1931

forgiven considering he wasn’t

Canterbury supporters – especially
at a time we’re distracted by
the Rugby World Cup.
The simple method is to take a
Donald Trump ‘make America

our provincial sides . . . how

Looking to make history
ONE STEP AWAY: Tevin Arona is hoping the Bulls can
create their first piece of history at Nga Puna Wai on
Saturday. (Inset) – Andrew Auimatagi.
• By Gordon Findlater
NGA PUNA Wai already feels
like home for the Canterbury
Bulls, now they want to make
the first piece of national history
at the city’s new home of rugby
league.
On Saturday the Bulls host
defending National Premiership
champions Akarana Falcons
at Nga Puna Wai to decide this
year’s title.
It is the Bulls first grand-final
appearance since 2015. They
qualified for the final in dominant
fashion by going unbeaten
in the three-week round-robin.
The Bulls believe it’s not down
to chance their rise is coinciding
with their first season at Nga
Puna Wai.
Since the 2011 earthquake the
Bulls have been without a true
home. While they still played at
Rugby League Park in previous
years it had very much become
the new home of the Canterbury
Rugby Union and the Crusaders.
They were also forced to train
at whatever club grounds around
Christchurch were available –
most of which had insufficient
lighting for their evening trainings.
During this campaign the
Bulls have been able to train at
Nga Puna Wai and after their
first premiership win at the
ground on Sunday it feels like a
true home.
It’s [Nga Puna Wai] such a
cool place. It’s vibrant in a way
because there’s always other people
around with the hockey players
and athletics. Then you’ve got
our little area which is just for
footy . . . it’s a semi-professional
set-up and the boys don’t take it
for granted because we used to
train all over the place. To have
a set-up like we have now has
out-of-towner could figure out
something was up when every
pub was littered with blue and
red balloons. At the front of a
bookstore, ‘Go Buller’ read on a
series of cards written by school
children – or potentially fully
developed locals with poor hand
writing – who were fizzing for
been a massive help,” said Bulls
co-captain Tevin Arona.
The homely feeling comes in
the fine print, from their own
video analysis room on-site
to now have their names and
photos permanently on display
in the changing rooms.

Try walking through Christchurch’s
central city on an average

remotely relevant to supporting
our team outside of a bar
displaying the kick-off time on a
chalkboard because they know
‘To have a set-up like we
have now has been a
massive help’
– Tevin Arona
“At the rugby stadium they
had gold plates which had some
legendary names like Richie
McCaw. That was pretty unreal
and really cool, but it’s good to
have something that represents
us and league,” said Arona.
On Sunday the Bulls can add
to a proud legacy. They last won
the premiership in 2014, but
haven’t won the county’s biggest
prize on home soil since 2009
when they defeated Auckland 26-
20 at Rugby League Park. They
also have the chance to add Nga
Puna Wai to the history books.
“I think it’s on their minds
that this is a pretty special occasions,”
said Bulls coach Andrew
Auimatagi.
In the opening round of the
premiership the Bulls defeated
Akarana 28-18 in Auckland.
However, they will have expectations
of redemption in the hunt
for their fourth straight title.
“They’ll be hurting from that
first game and wanting to prove
a point. They are the reigning
champs so they’ll come down
here with a lot of expectation as
well,” said Auimatagi.
Other than Matthew Sauni –
who is in Samoa – Auimatagi
expects to have a full strength
squad to select from.
Kick-off is 2.30pm.
Let’s make provincial rugby and league great again
you’re not going to make the effort
to go to the stadium.
Just like old mate climate
change girl said recently: “Right
here, right now,” is the time for
us to take stand. Let’s win the
shield and turn out in force next
weekend for a defence like we
still care about the log o’ wood.
Let’s also pack out Nga Puna
Wai for the Bulls shot at the title.
In 1993 they turned away people
at the showgrounds because it
reached its capacity of around
10,000, surely we can get at least
a third of that.

Grand-final winner backs Bulls
With the Canterbury
Bulls hosting the
national rugby league
grand-final at Nga Puna
Wai on Saturday, The
Star talks to a member
of the famous 1993
championship-winning
side. Gordon Findlater
caught up with Mike
Dorreen as part of the
weekly Canterbury
sporting icon series
HARD-WORKING centre/
winger Mike Dorreen was a
key cog in the Frank Endacottcoached
Canterbury team of the
late 1980s and early 90s.
He played 43 matches for
Canterbury from 1988 to 1993.
The 52-year-old now draws
parallels between his Canterbury
team of that era and the current
Andrew Auimatagi-coached
side.
“It was a group of people.
We stayed together and were
mates on and off the field. Frank
wasn’t just a coach, he was also a
mentor and a friend. He wasn’t
that much older than us and
we really gelled with Frank and
I think that’s what Andrew is
doing with his players now.”
Dorreen remembers seeing
Auimatagi come through the
playing ranks in the early 2000s.
“Andrew was just one of these
players who was first at training
and the last to leave. There was
no cutting corners, it was the
hard yards,” he said.
Dorreen played a part in one
of Canterbury Rugby League’s
greatest days in 1993, when
they trounced a star-studded
Auckland side 36-12 in the 1993
grand-final at the Addington
Showgrounds.
Canterbury powered to a
16-0 lead by half-time and went
on with the job in the second
stanza, racking up an emphatic
seven-tries – one of which was
scored by Dorreen.
“It was chock-full of people
and they used to have these tin
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
fences off the side. People were
banging on the side of that and
making a hell of a racket, it’s a
great memory. I was just lucky
to be part of that team because
there was such good players all
around us,” said Dorreen.
He believes the success of the
Canterbury team in the 1990s
came through their teamwork
and cohesion, which was an
advantage over the other more
star-studded sides that had been
thrown together.
“We weren’t any better
individually,
but we were a
team. All the
team bonding
we’d done
in the years
beforehand
made the
difference,”
said Dorreen.
“We’d go
to Taylors
Mistake in
preseason and have a hard
workout and then have a
barbecue and a few drinks,
and this team bonding just
happened.”
‘It was after the
earthquake. We didn’t
have any training facilities.
We were lucky if we could
get a park and often we
would only get half a field
because other teams
were training on it’
– Mike Dorreen
Dorreen started playing league
for Addington aged eight, but
later switched to union because
his friends played the 15-man
game. He played senior rugby
for Sydenham before giving
league another crack. He helped
Addington win the Pat Smith
Trophy in 1989. During the
Canterbury off-season he spent
two campaigns in England.
In 1994, Dorreen was part
of the Kiwis squad which
toured Papua New Guinea. The
following year he was part of
the Warriors
first ever NRL
campaign. He
played a key role
in the reserve
grade team
making the
playoffs and also
played four first
grade games for
the club.
“At that time,
rugby league
was always the second-class
citizen compared with rugby, but
that year we were right up on par
with them and that was just a
great feeling,” he said.
In 1996, Dorreen moved to
Newcastle as part of the Super
League raid. He planned to
play for the Hunter Mariners.
However, when the new rival
competition failed to gain
momentum he ended up at the
Sydney Tigers. He played 10
games for the Tigers that year,
including a 34-22 victory over
the Warriors at Lancaster Park
in 1996, which saw him have
a leading hand in two of their
tries.
“I remember it was a bitterly
cold day and I just don’t think
the Warriors liked it . . . we
had Ellery Hanley in our team
and I remember telling him it
was going to be cold. He said ‘I
know we will smash them’. All
these Sydney guys had in their
head that they knew what was
happening and we just took it to
them,” said Dorreen.
In 1997, he played four games
for the Mariners in Super
League’s only season. He then
played for Orange in the Group
10 New South Wales country
league before returning to
Christchurch and finishing his
career by winning back-to-back
NO CRACKS: Former
Canterbury league centre/
winger Mike Dorreen has
been working as a plasterer
for 25 years.
Pat Smith Trophy’s with Halswell
in 1999 and 2000.
Following his professional
playing time, Dorreen coached a
number of Canterbury age group
teams – many with his former
teammate Logan Edwards. He
also coached the Bulls through
a challenging time in 2012 and
2013.
“It was after the earthquake.
We didn’t have any training
facilities. We were lucky if
we could get a park and often
we would only get half a field
because other teams were
training on it and there would
be softball using it as well, it was
really difficult. I basically put
my hand up because no one else
would, but I really enjoyed the
time coaching Canterbury,” said
Dorreen.
These days Dorreen is working
as a plasterer – a trade he has
been in for the past 25 years
– and is currently sporting
a somewhat intimidating
horseshoe moustache.

daughter is getting boyfriends

selling in the company’s
line-up?’’
In the case of Mercedes-
Benz, I was told the GLE
sport utility vehicle is the
shaker and mover, which
is the car in this evaluation,
however, supply is
problematic, such is its
popularity waiting lists are
looming.
The GLE is all-new and
lands here in two standard
variants, effectively four
and six-cylinder, both diesel.
Interestingly, the
3-litre six is an in-line
unit, a departure from the
vee-series engines that
Mercedes-Benz has utilised
for the last 10 years or so.
I’ve covered that transition
in recent Mercedes-
Benz evaluations, and it has
little relevance to the 300d
this evaluation focuses on,
its 2-litre engine is a traditional
in-line four which
sits longitudinally under
the bonnet.
The GLE is a large five
or seven-seat, five-door
wagon, it is almost 5m and
weighs in at over 2.2-tonne,
consequently, there’s a lot
of vehicle and it offers all of
the credentials you would
expect from something
sizeable. It is a true luxury
car and it comes with a
high level of specification
that justifies its $128,200
sticker price.
It also gets a huge
safety profile and that’s no
surprise, you don’t buy
Mercedes-Benz without
investing in safety. There
are way too many features
to mention but to say any
potential buyer won’t be
disappointed, especially if
you take into account the
very extensive option lists.
The test car was heavily
optioned, adding over $20k
to the price.
One standard feature I do
very much like is the wide
digital display panel which
extends across the facia,
picture it as two i-Pads
joined together, it’s a touchtype
system, or you can use
a mouse-like device on the
centre console to manipulate
most of the settings
within the vehicle.
The GLE is also built
around versatility, apart
from being a high comfort
family wagon, it will also
take the belongings we
tend to travel with. The rear
door exposes a 630-litre
load space, extending to a
massive 2055-litres with the
rear rows folded.
At the other end, Mercedes-Benz
claims power
seven seats.
outputs of 180kW with
500Nm for the turbocharged
diesel. While these
figures are impressive in
themselves, take into account
the areas where they
are developed – 4200rpm
for power and 1600-
2400rpm for torque. Even
though there is a fair hunk
of metal to push, the engine
is not burdened, it works
freely and is energetic when
asked to perform.
• Price – Mercedes-
Benz GLE 300d,
$128,200
• Dimensions –
Length, 4924mm;
width, 2157mm;
height, 1772mm
• Configuration
– Four-cylinder,
four-wheel-drive,
1950cc, 180kW,
500Nm, ninespeed
automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 7.2sec
• Fuel usage –
6.4l/100km
Drive is channelled
through a nine-speed
automatic gearbox through
to all four wheels, both
versions of the GLE get
what Mercedes-Benz label
4Matic.
Four-wheel-drive adds
that element of surety and
control on the road, and in
the GLE 300d that can be
felt constantly, especially
when the corners arrive. I
pushed the test car quickly
into the tricky turns out of
the Waimakariri Gorge, yet
it has steering feel and ability
way beyond its role as a
big luxury car.
Grip in the first instance
is supplied by huge sport
specification Pirelli PZero
tyres. On 22in wheels they
direct positive feedback to
the driver, and along with
the optional air suspension
package the GLE guarantees
absorption. One feature I
found very interesting is the
camera-based technology
Motoring
Ross Kiddie
MERCEDES-BENZ GLE 300D: Choice of five or
35
which reads the road ahead
and preloads the suspension
if uneven surfaces are detected,
returning a balanced
ride.
The GLE 300d also has
a good turn of speed, it
will scamper to 100km/h
in 7.2sec, and will make a
highway overtake in 4.6sec
(80-120km/h), using the
paddle shifters to hasten
engine urgency. It also provides
the performance edge
without compromising fuel
usage.
There is a 6.4-litre per
100km (44mpg) combined
cycle manufacturer
claim, that along with a
5.7l/100km (49mpg)
instantaneous figure on
the highway (engine speed
1400rpm at 100km/h)
means relatively economical
motoring.
The mechanical structure
of the GLE 300 is all quality,
the combination of power
and transmission is fluid
and constantly appropriate,
it’s always in the right ratio
delivering decisive throttle
response. The fact that
it distributes that power
evenly through to the rear
as well is just a bonus, the
GLE is very much mechanically
refined.
When it came time to
take the evaluation car out
on the highway the weather
was against me, it was wet
and freezing. On my usual
inland route snow was
down to low levels. However,
these were perfect
conditions for the GLE, its
driveline and safety systems
put you at ease and, of
course, had I ventured to
high ground, it would be
the ideal vehicle to tackle
the ski-field access road.
While the GLE is the
car for the moment at
Mercedes-Benz, it must
be kept in mind that it is
just one model in a very
comprehensive SUV lineup
from this high-profile
German manufacturer. It’s
good to have such choice.

SELLING YOUR HOME
MAKE SMALL FIXES
Inspect your home with a buyer’s eyes, and correct
the flaws that are most egregious (if affordable) or can
be relatively easily fixed—from repairing cracks in the
walkways to repainting dingy walls or oiling creaky
hinges.
SET A PRICE
A real estate agent will give you a market analysis free
of charge or commitment.
Ask a few to get a broader picture of the market, then
ask to see listings for properties similar to yours that
have sold in the past six months.
Check out comparable listings yourself in the real

Then decide whether you want a quick, easy sale or
the highest possible price.

CLEAN & DECLUTTER
Weed out excess furniture, knicknacks, and “stuff”—
toss it, donate it, give it away, sell it at a yard sale,
or put it into storage—so the house seems more
spacious and buyers can imagine themselves in it.
STAY VIGILIANT ABOUT MAINTENANCE
From the moment you start showing your house, keep
the lawn mowed, shrubs trimmed, gardens weeded,
rooms spotless and clutter-free.
READY YOUR HOME FOR OPEN DAYS
Hide pocketable valuables, display fresh flowers or
bowls of fruit, bake a batch of cookies for the homey
smell, open the drapes, keep pets out of sight.
DECIDE WHETHER TO DO YOUR OWN BUILDING

Grab your girlfriends, mum or daughters and enjoy
a day out at one of Canterbury’s largest events!
Saturday 5 & Sunday 6 October, 10am – 5pm
Horncastle Arena, Christchurch
Door sales $10 | Kids under 12 free
This year’s Women’s Lifestyle Expo will be the biggest yet with over 200 companies
under one roof for one weekend. Pegged as the perfect girls’ day out, the show aims
to include as wide of a range of companies as possible, so the expo is a great day out
no matter what your interests are. Women are all different and their interests are so
diverse, so while one woman may be interested in gourmet food the woman beside
her may be more interested in booking a V8 Supercar drive, checking out the fashion
sites or even planning a holiday.
The show features artisan crafters exhibiting alongside national brands like Dilmah tea,
Lorna Jane activewear and Suzuki. “It’s great on the weekend to see all the various
women visit the show, from teenagers to grandmothers, mothers and daughters of
all ages and friends simply enjoying each other’s company” says Renee Murray from
NZME Events.
The expo features lots of new companies this year with everything from fashion and
accessories to organic products, delicious food, artisan crafts, unique businesses,
eco-friendly products and so much more.

Encouraging more
women to join
Only four percent of career firefighters
and 16 per cent of volunteer
firefighters are women but this is
slowly changing, chairperson of
Region Te Ihu Women’s Advisory
Network and Timaru senior fire fighter
Donna Lindsay said.
She said the move from using the
term firemen to firefighters has been a
positive step in recognising the work
women have been doing for years,
and FENZ is beginning to promote the
job to get more women involved.
“A lot of them see the fitness side,
especially the upper body strength, as
a bit of a barrier.”
“There has been, in Auckland and
hopefully Christchurch, little boot
camps in eight week blocks to help
people get up to speed with their
fitness and strength but that’s only a
part of the job.”
Lindsay said the work of the fire
service is more community-based
such as education at A&P shows and
in schools, and supporting at call outs
such as road traffic incidents.
Some brigades also take on childcare
volunteers to look after the firefighters
children when they are called to a job.
Most women would find something
within Fire and Emergency that would
make them want to join whether
it’s team building, community work,
talking – it’s not always fighting fires.”
It’s a very rewarding job and we need
the students and young people out
there to realise it is a possibility when
they start looking at careers.”

in Fire and Emergency Service
(WFENZ) is available at www.women.
