Sexual assault victim
targeted with ‘hate’
• By Sophie Cornish
A WOMAN who was sexually
assaulted as a child has been
abused for posting her attacker’s
details online.
The woman, now 42, received
a backlash on a number of
Christchurch community
Facebook pages.
“I was so surprised at the
response I got. I got quite a lot
of hate messages, telling me I
was ruining someone’s life,” the
woman, who wished to
be known as Marie, told
The Star.
Marie wanted to warn others
about his offending and posted
on several groups.
The post stated his name,
address, details of the crime
and said he was a convicted
paedophile. •Turn to page 4

Concern
over
terror
accused’s
well-being
in prison
THE MARCH 15 mosque
shooting accused has put himself
on an extreme minimal eating
regime in jail and is also not
washing.
The Star has learned there is
concern about his well-being, but
prison authorities cannot force
him to eat more.
The Department of Corrections
and his Auckland-based lawyer
Shane Tait would not answer
questions from The Star yesterday,
citing privacy issues and the fact
the accused is before the courts
for the March 15 terror attacks.
Said a Department of Corrections
spokesperson: “As you will
appreciate, this prisoner is currently
before the court, and to avoid
jeopardising these proceedings or
prejudicing their outcome, we are
limited in our ability to provide
further specific information.
“This prisoner continues to
be managed in accordance with
the provisions set out in the
Corrections Act 2004 and our
international obligations for the
treatment of prisoners.”
The 28-year-old Australian,
who has pleaded not guilty to 51
charges of murder and 40 charges
of attempted murder, as well as a
charge of engaging in a terrorist
act, is being held on remand in a
high-security wing of Auckland
Prison at Paremoremo.

THREE YEARS ago Christina
Buckland’s daughter Arabelle
was rushed to hospital with
suspected meningitis.
The fear and anxiety she experienced
led to her starting the
charity One Mother to Another.
The charity provides gift bags
to mothers and carers in the
Children’s Acute Assessment or
Neonatal Intensive Care units at
Christchurch Hospital.
Mrs Buckland has been
recognised for her work with a
Westfield Local Heroes award
that comes with a $10,000 grant.
Mrs Buckland said she started
the charity with her friend Joy
Reid in the hopes of putting a
smile on the face of a mother or
carer in the same position she
was.
“It came about because Joy
and I had both been in hospital
with sick kids and we knew how
lonely and isolating that can feel
and we wanted to find a way to
support other mums who will go
through that journey too,” she
said.
Mrs Buckland took 18-monthold
Arabelle to the GP when she
developed what seemed like a
stubborn nappy rash.

Baxendale’s first day as new council chief executive
• By Louis Day
THE CITY council’s new chief
executive Dawn Baxendale starts
today.
She arrived in New Zealand
late last month from Birmingham
with her husband and one of her
sons.
A city council spokeswoman said
Helping mothers with sick
kids after own struggle
‘My mummy brain just
heard the word meningitis
and went into an absolute
frenzy in my head.’
– Christina Buckland
Mrs Baxendale (right) will be inducted
this week before welcoming
the newly-elected council following
Saturday’s elections.
Mrs Baxendale was named as the
new chief executive in July but was
unable to start straight away due to
not having a visa.
The former Birmingham City
Council chief executive will earn
$495,000, an $80,000 increase from
her predecessor Karleen Edwards’
salary.
She will also receive an
additional $30,000 towards
relocation costs from the United
Kingdom.
Her appointment attracted
criticism from inside and outside
the council.
When the doctor had a look,
he told her that the rash looked
like it could be meningitis and
they needed to go to the hospital
immediately.
“My mummy brain just heard
the word meningitis and went
into an absolute frenzy in my
head.”
At the hospital, Arabelle was
calm but Mrs Buckland was
struggling to cope.
“When we were there she was
actually feeling fine, it was me
that was a mess. I was crying
and I remember thinking I need
some support and that’s where
the original idea came from.
“I didn’t have any family here.
I had friends I could call to look
after my toddler but not having
that family here, like a lot of people
nowadays don’t, it does just
make it a lot harder,” she said.
Mrs Buckland said she is honoured
to receive the award.
“I feel like I’m just an ordinary
mother who is doing something

that I would have liked someone
to do for me in my hour of need.
“It is surreal to think the community
have named me a hero
for it but I’m very honoured and
grateful for the accolade. It has
truly blown me away,” she said.

Fears for missing
woman
Police continue to have serious
concerns for a missing woman.
Christine Barton, 63, was still
missing as of late yesterday.
She was last seen on October
3, wearing a green turtleneck
sweater and leggings. She has
a number of health issues and
there are serious concerns for her
welfare. Previously when she has
gone missing, she was located in
the Cashmere/Barrington areas.
Name of man who
died in fire released
Police have released the name
of a man who died in a house
fire on Saturday. Robert James
White, 69, was the only occupant
of the Breens Rd, Bishopdale,
house when fire broke out about
10.40pm. The cause of the fire
is still under investigation, but
police say it is not believed to be
suspicious.
Pedestrian hurt after
being hit by car
A pedestrian was taken to
hospital in moderate condition
after a crash in North New
Brighton on Sunday. A St John
spokeswoman said it was called
to the crash, between a car and
a pedestrian, about 3.50pm on
Sunday at the intersection of
Bower Ave and Travis Rd.
High alcohol readings
for drink drivers
Two more people have been
caught driving about five times
over the legal drink driving
limit. It comes after a North New
Brighton woman has recorded
one of the highest ever drink
driving readings in New Zealand
last month at 1669mcg/L. The
reading was almost six times the
legal driving limit of 250mcg/L
for adults. A 61-year-old New
Brighton man appeared in the
district court this week after
recording 1246mcg/L on August
22. A 23-year-old Burnside
crane operator also appeared
in the district court this week
after recording 1243mcg/L on
September 8.

Victim’s online bid for justice
•From page 1
“There was a lot of hate and
then the post was deleted by
admin,” she said.
“In amongst the hate, however,
I did also get 17 messages from
people who were concerned and
missed the post before it was
deleted. They wanted to know
how to be able to protect their
kids and felt that information
should be publicly allowed.”
Last month, Marie’s abuser,
Donald Louden Ritchie, was
sentenced to
seven months
home detention.
He was not
required to
register as a sex
offender after
he was deemed
‘low-risk.’
Jess McVicar
Said Marie:
“People would
rather not know.
People are just living in wilful
ignorance, they don’t want to
accept their children might not
be safe. If people aren’t prepared
to accept it, how are we going to
stop this happening?”
She had suffered years of
depression and anxiety, which
she now understands are
symptoms of her post-traumatic
stress disorder.
She decided to make a formal
complaint against the man to
prove to her two children it is
okay to speak up.
“I wanted to show them I am a
good model and that it’s okay to
speak out.”
When she was 10-years-old,
the man, a family friend who
her parents had met at church,
temporarily moved into her
family home.
“He was often left to take care
of us kids. He groomed us, then
he took liberties, this is how they
do it.”
The abuse then continued for
two more years.
“He was so confident, but that
was all part of the grooming.
It started with back rubs and
shoulder rubs, which was really
normal in my close family. But
then one time it went too far. I
felt so overwhelmed, so scared it
was my fault.”
“I was complicit. I didn’t share
what was happening out of fear,
I couldn’t talk about it. I knew
what was happening was wrong.
Before you know it, it’s gone too
far. I felt so embarrassed.”
Sensible Sentencing Trust
spokeswoman Jess McVicar said
recent sentencing for sexual
offending has been “appalling.”
“Sex offending used to be
considered as a serious offence.
We now have a status-quo in
our justice system that this is no
longer the case,” Miss McVicar
said.
“Between June 2017 to June
2018, there were 408 home
detention sentences given for
sexual offending.”
However, Miss McVicar said
while she agrees with Marie
trying to warn the community
and naming him, posting his
address online may be risky.
“Unfortunately the risk she
takes with this is the offender can
officially make a complaint to the
Privacy Commissioner against
her. We wouldn’t agree about
posting the address, as we would
never want it to go to the extreme
of someone taking matters into
their own hands or doing a witch
hunt.”
Netsafe chief executive Martin
Cocker said online digital content
which causes harm can result in
prosecutions under the Harmful
Digital Communications Act
2015.
“On the surface, this could
be treated as harmful digital
communication under the Act.
However, when put to the test, it
is unlikely it would result in an
offence given the nature of the
circumstances,” he said.
“The law applies online, as it
would with anywhere else. If
you apply unnecessary risk to an
individual, you could absorb that
liability, like in any other sphere.
“We would encourage people
to allow legal institutions to do
their job and not to take action in
defiance of that,” Mr Cocker said.

name.

In a surprise move last
week, Mr Tait withdrew an
application to move the trial out
of Christchurch.
He had earlier applied to have
the trial, set down for June next
year, taken out of the city.
Moving the trial out of
Christchurch would have been
a major logistical challenge
for the courts system, with the
many witnesses expected to be
called to give evidence.
The cost of moving the trial
had been budgeted in the
millions.

DAIRY FARM worker Tony
Waldron was killed with a
blunt instrument, it can be
revealed.
Police initially thought the
29-year-old, who was found
dead in his home near Rakaia
on September 18, had been shot
in the head.
A 26-year-old Christchurch
kitchen hand has been charged
with Mr Waldron’s murder. He
has been remanded in custody
and will reappear at the High
Court on October 21.
The Star understands police
are also investigating if other
people were involved in Mr
Waldron’s death.
Head of the inquiry Detective
Senior Sergeant Richard
Quested would not comment
on the murder weapon or
whether other people were a
focus of their inquiries.
“I won’t be releasing any of
those details because the matter
is before the courts,” he said.
Police divers have searched
an irrigation pond on a farm
near Rakaia and the Selwyn
River for the murder weapon.
A house in Hoani St, Papanui,
was also searched.
Mr Waldron was living
alone at the time of his death.
His wife, Alana, and their two
daughters had recently moved
out of the three-bedroom farm
house.
His body was found by a coworker
who went looking for
him when he did not show up
for work.
Mr Waldron lived and
worked on a dairy farm owned
by Dairy Holdings Ltd.

A FORMER prison guard
charged with the murder of
missing man Michael McGrath
will be held in a jail outside of
Christchurch for his own safety.
David Benbow, 51, is in
custody awaiting his next court
appearance on October 18 after
being charged with the murder
of Mr McGrath, whose body has
never been found.
He has pleaded not guilty to
the murder.
Benbow was a prison officer
at Christchurch Prison when
Mr McGrath went missing. Mr
McGrath, a 49-year-old builder,
vanished from his Halswell
home on May 21, 2017, leaving
behind his 1994 Subaru Legacy
car and bicycle.
Benbow and Mr McGrath
had known each other for many
years. Benbow’s Halswell property
became a key focus of the
police investigation.
Benbow was stood down
from his duties at Christchurch
Prison because of the police
investigation, and later resigned.
When he appeared in court
last week, his occupation was
listed as a technician.
A Department of Corrections
spokesperson said it could not

he stayed at Christchurch Men’s

“He is a former prison officer
and that would be why he would
not be able to live with the
inmates because he would

would be in big trouble there,”
he said.

EXPANSION: Today’s opening of Briscoes Homewares at Bush Inn leads the way for even
more exciting improvements at the shopping centre.
IMPROVEMENTS: The three year expansion of Bush Inn
Shopping Centre is nearing completion.
riscoes opens at Bush Inn
SUBSTANTIAL developments
happening at Bush Inn Shopping
Centre gather pace this week
with the opening of Briscoes
Homewares today.
“Three years’ work has resulted
in a stunning new building,” said
Andy Bell property and development
manager for owner Ganson
Group Ltd.
“We are delighted to welcome
Briscoes to Bush Inn and it demonstrates
what we are doing here,
investing and creating a whole
new shopping environment at the
centre is working”
In addition to Briscoes, The
Provedore - a new grocery and provisions
complex will open at Bush
Inn around December this year.
This comprises a selection of
speciality food retailers in all
areas of grocery and provisions
including a metro style supermarket,
fine wines and spirits outlet,
European butcher and deli, seafood
outlet, bulk food outlet with
around 18 retailers in total.
“Make no mistake this is not
boutique or high-end,” said Mr
Bell.
“We have taken the initiative in
replacing our supermarket with a
hard working, highly competitive
grocery shopping offering – you
will be able to get everything that
the supermarket provides and a
whole lot more – better quality
and better priced, every day of the
week”
The Provedore is presented in
an open plan style with plenty of
natural light, cobbled walkways
between outlets, and is intended
to provide a unique alternative to
supermarket shopping.
“The Provedore is well leased
but now that retailers can see it,
they are really getting what we are
trying to achieve,” says assistant
manager Rees Hunt.
“We still have some opportunities
and anyone interested should
contact me fairly quickly.”

MEGAN HORE’S battle with
cancer has sadly come to an end.
The 19-year-old died on
Monday surrounded by family.
Megan will be farewelled at
what the family has called a
“FUN”eral at the start of next
week, where she has requested
people dress “brightly and
cheerfully.”
The daughter of well-known
blind organist Richard Hore was
declared cancer-free in October
after battling bone cancer for
more than a year.
However, in August the
cancer returned. She had to
have more than half of her left
lung removed due to cancerous
nodules being found on it.
She fell ill after that, and was
diagnosed with leukaemia and
told it was terminal.
Her mother Marilyn Hore
said the family’s lives have been
“turned upside down.”
“It really is shocking, but on
the other hand I’m really pleased
that she is no longer in pain and
no longer fighting, no longer has
drips hanging out of her arms
and is not struggling to eat and
do all the basic things in life,” she
said.
Mrs Hore said her daughter’s
death had left a “huge hole” in
the family.
“Meg was such a livewire and
she made the house a home and
she had a bit of sass in her and
she made us laugh.
“I opened a cupboard yesterday
and there was this drinking cup
that she thought was great and
to be honest, I hated it, but she
is just everywhere we look, there
is something that reminds us of
Meg everywhere.”

Gang members
in alleged
home invasion
over cellphone
• By Sophie Cornish
THE SALE OF a second-hand
cellphone resulted in a home
invasion involving a gun and
baseball bat.
Police allege two patched
Bandidos gang members
bashed down the door of a house
on Curletts Rd, Sockburn, on
Sunday night and assaulted a
man.
Two brothers, Rawiri Takuira
Kiri, 26, of Waltham, and Lee
Teomaori Kiri, 30, of Aranui,
have been charged over the
alleged incident, which The Star
understands was a dispute over a
cellphone which was sold but did
not work properly.
They appeared in the district
court on Monday, facing joint
charges of possessing a firearm
and armed robbery with a
baseball bat.
Police allege they stole $15
from the male victim, who was
assaulted during the incident.
More charges are likely.
They were remanded in custody
until December, when they are
next due to appear in court.
The Star understands the male
victim’s parents and two children
were at home at the time of the
attack.

Park complains about
council Facebook link
to Dalziel’s website
• By Louis Day
THE CITY council has had to
remove a link to Mayor Lianne
Dalziel’s campaign website
from one of its Facebook pages
following a complaint from
mayoralty rival Darryll Park.
Mr Park engaged legal firm
Cavell Leitch to express his
concerns around the city councilrun
Facebook page ‘Lianne
Dalziel Christchurch Mayor’
having a link to Ms Dalziel’s
campaign website.
“The inclusion of campaign
material on a Christchurch City
Council social media account
may give the impression that
the council is promoting Ms
Dalziel ahead of all other mayoral
candidates,” Cavell Leitch said in
a letter to city council electoral
officer Jo Daly.
In response to the letter, Ms
Daly said the existence of the link
to Ms Dalziel’s campaign website
had gone unnoticed by the city
council and had since been
removed.
She also agreed the links
from the city council-run
Facebook page to Ms Dalziel’s
campaign website could be seen
as inconsistent with the protocol
that refrains city council social
Darryll Park Lianne
Dalziel
media accounts from promoting
candidates.
Mr Park would not talk to The
Star yesterday about the matter.
But his campaign manager
David Lynch said: “We
acknowledge that the council
has accepted that there were
significant infringements and
we appreciate that the mayor has
made some attempt to address
some of those infringements.
However, we believe some of
them have not been resolved and
we remain in discussion with the
council around this.”
Mr Lynch would not say what
the unresolved infringements
were.
Ms Dalziel’s campaign
manager Aaron Campbell said
the infringement was “minor.”
“If it was serious I think she [Jo
Daly] would be taking further
action,” he said.

Halfway house director silent
on neighbour’s claims
• By Sophie Cornish
THE DIRECTOR of a halfway
house for serious criminals is
refusing to answer questions
about a neighbour’s claim the
foundation has devalued her
property.
A director of the Salisbury
Street Foundation on St Albans
St, Merivale, has not responded
to questions from The Star about
the matter.
Last month, The Star reported
Mansfield Ave resident Ali Chapman
claimed she would lose close
to $200,000 of her property’s
value because she lives next door
to the foundation.
Recently, the foundation has
expanded and bought more
properties nearby.
In August, it increased the
number of people it is able to
house from 15 to 21.
The foundation purchased
several properties next to Mrs
Chapman’s home, and is now
operating out of them.
Mrs Chapman said the foundation
verbally told her when
she wanted to sell, it would be
interested in buying her home.
Eighteen months ago, the
home was valued at $795,000.
However, now she says the
foundation won’t offer any more
than $600,000.
“I know the market value has

by the Salisbury Street Foundation. To the left is her
home which she says has been devalued due to the

criminals.

gone down since then, but not by
$200,000.”
Mrs Chapman believes other
interested buyers aren’t willing
to pay market value for her home
because of its close location to
the foundation.
The Star reported the city
council was investigating a complaint
about the foundation and
whether it was operating lawfully,
under the correct consents.
Said head of regulatory
compliance Tracey Weston:
“Upon receiving the complaint,
our compliance team
investigated the concerns
raised and can confirm that
all activities on this site are
permitted.”

THIEVES HAVE been making
profits of up to $3000 by stealing
clippings from unique plants on
display at the Botanic Gardens.
Dozens of plants now need
additional security measures
while on display in the public
conservatories, Cuningham
House, Gilpin House and The
Fernery.
City council
staff said other
plants have
been moved
out of reach, or
behind glass, as
the problem has
increased this
year.
The thefts were
first noticed in
late 2017, and
last year some entire plants were
stolen.
However, city council director
Botanic Gardens and garden
parks Wolfgang Bopp said this
year has been “the worst in total
of number of cuttings and plants
being stolen.”
“Theft is likely to have been
going on for a long time but
usually at an undetectable level
where the odd cutting gets taken
from plants both indoors and
out.”
“Indoor plants have just
recently become the trendy plant
to collect, so it’s been only the last
few years where it’s becoming a
real issue,” Mr Bopp said.
Some of the rare plants,
including peperomia polybotrya,
are not available commercially in
New Zealand, so Mr Bopp said
their value is hard to estimate.
“Plants can range from $25
to $80 or more for certain plant
varieties. Cuttings of rare plants
can go as high as $150 for a leaf.
There has been a listing on Trade
Me for close to $3000 for small
plants,” he said.
More than 60 plants have been
affected so far. The city council

has six conservatories in the

Cuningham House contains
sub-tropical plant collections,
including dieffenbachia,
peperomia, hoya, anthurium and
dracaena.
Gilpin House contains tropical
collections of orchids, tillandsias,
bromeliads and carnivorous
plants.
The Fernery contains a
collection of New Zealand ferns,
including the iconic silver fern,
cyathea dealbata.
The plants are sourced from
the New Zealand nursery trade,
‘Indoor plants have just

– Wolfgang Bopp
private collections and societies,
while others are imported from
overseas nurseries as live plants
or seeds.
Mr Bopp said the police have
not yet been informed about the
thefts.
“Nothing can ever be 100 per
cent proven, as you need physical
or visual proof of the theft. If
cuttings have been noted as
stolen and then appear on a site
for sale, there is a likelihood of
them having been obtained and
sold without permission,” he said.
“Plants that were imported
by the Botanic Gardens and not
known to be grown by others in
the country makes this likely.”
Botanic Gardens staff are now
keeping a close eye on suspicious
sellers on various online sites and
groups.

Stepfather
tried to
contact student
THE BODY of 19-year-old
Mason Pendrous was only found
in September, when his friend
climbed onto the roof at the halls
of residence where the teenager
lived and looked into his missing
friend’s room.
Mr Pendrous was in his first
year studying e-commerce and
was living at Sonoda – a student
hall of residence run by Campus
Living Villages.
He was found dead in his room
on September 23, after his family
had not heard from him for
weeks.
His family say they were still
being pursued for bills by CLV,
while Mr Pendrous was unaccounted
for at Sonoda.
His stepfather Anthony Holland
told RNZ’s Checkpoint he
tried to contact his son many
times by text, email and phone,
but he put the lack of response
down to typical teenage behaviour,
until his son’s mobile was
disconnected.
“I texted a friend of his who
was in Auckland, who contacted
a friend that was in the same
hall. This young man decided
something wasn’t quite right,” Mr
Holland said.
Mr Holland said he last spoke
to his son on Friday, 19 July, at
about 11pm, and Mr Pendrous
was in good spirits.

A CAT in labour with four
kittens suffocated to death inside
a chilly bin after being dumped
outside the SPCA’s gates.
The cat has joined a list of 13
others that have been abandoned
in the region in just over a
month, a number much higher
than usual.
It was left outside SPCA
Christchurch Centre in Hornby
just after 11pm on Friday. The
closed chilly bin with the cat
was found by staff the following
morning.
Said SPCA spokeswoman Jessie
Gilchrist: “Our vets believe the
cat suffocated to death. She was
full-term pregnant with four
kittens and appears to have been
actively in labour at the time of
death.”
Two other cats were found dead
at Kennedys Bush, Halswell, on
September 26, in an apparent
drowning.
Three cats were found in the
box, two of which were dead,
secured with duct tape and
wrapped in soaking wet towels.
“We suspect that the two deceased
cats were drowned – based
on the fact that the surviving cat
was wet,” said Mrs Gilchrist.
The surviving cat was found
in healthy condition, other than
being scared and timid.
“She’s quite distinctive with her
one blue eye, so someone might
recognise her.”
Also on September 26, two grey
long-haired male cats were found
on the edge of the Kaiapoi River,
tied in a black plastic bag, which
was partly sitting in the water.
Both cats, now named Anzac
and Arnie, required medical
treatment.
On August 25, four cats were
found dumped in a box outside
a Christchurch cattery. All four
have since been adopted.

SPCA chief inspector Jamie
Hancock said cats being left outside
its gate or at vet clinics was
not unusual but it is not usually
groups of three or four cats.
People need to call them if
they have concerns rather than
abandoning an animal, which is
illegal, she said.
“September and October is

so it’s a good time to remind the

SPCA is here to help. Our doors
are always open for vulnerable

Three Canty townships
to get e-scooter trial
• By Devon Bolger
THREE Canterbury townships
will be getting a six-month
e-scooter trial.
The Selwyn District Council
on Wednesday approved the trial
for both Lime scooters and for a
local supplier called Lava.
Selwyn Mayor Sam Broughton,
Deputy Mayor Malcolm Lyall,
councillors Debra Hasson, Grant
Miller, Craig Watson, John
Morten and Murray Lemon
voted in favour of the trial while
Crs Nicole Reid, Bob Mugford
and Mark Alexander voted
against it.
Earlier this year, the district
council voted to give Lime a trial
once safety concerns around
speed, safety, geo-fencing, costs,
and bylaw implications were
addressed.
In the report presented at
the meeting, district council
regulatory manager Billy
Charlton said all concerns had
been addressed.
However, the three district
councillors who voted against
the proposal felt safety was still
an issue.
Lincoln based e-scooter
company, Lava, is owned by
Angela and Phillip Eberhard.
They applied to the district
council to operate 50 e-scooters
seven days a week in Rolleston,
WHEELS ROLLING: Mark

Lincoln and Prebbleton.
The plan would see the
scooters move between the
townships using cycleways.
Lime amended its original
application to include Prebbleton
and Lincoln as well as Rolleston.
The trial will commence
following the adoption of the
revised traffic and parking bylaw
which includes the provision of
e-scooters.

Condon
centre to

THE POPULAR Graham
Condon Recreation and Sport
Centre will get a revamp this
summer.
It will be the most significant
maintenance and refurbishment
work to be carried out on the
facility since it opened eight
years ago and will require it to
be closed temporarily.
The work will start in January
2020 and includes improvements
to the efficiency of the facility,
such as changing to LED lighting.
Other work includes painting,
replacement of showers and toilets,
floor covering replacements
and poolside works such as tiling
repairs.
The main hall and gym will
be completed first and re-open
in early February, while the remainder
of the centre – including
pools – will re-open in early
April 2020.
The Graham Condon Recreation
& Sport Centre was named
in honour of the late Graham
Condon, a former city councillor
and paralympic champion.
City council head of recreation
sports and events Nigel Cox
said the facility has had a lot of
use since opening, especially
as other recreation and sports
centres were closed or damaged
after the earthquakes.
A FAMILY history fun day,
spring fairs, and the chance to
explore heritage hot spots in
the central city are just some of
the highlights of this year’s Beca
Christchurch Heritage Festival.
The theme of the Heritage Festival,
which opened on Monday
and runs until October 28, is
‘Encounter Our Stories’.
City council head of urban
design, regeneration and heritage
Carolyn Ingles says the threeweek
festival has expanded from
what used to be an annual heritage
week, in a sign of its growing
popularity.
“With so many activities on offer,
many of them free, it’s a great
opportunity to explore our rich
cultural heritage and the central
city with the whole family. There’s
plenty on offer across the region
as well.”
Tūranga will host a family
history fun day on Saturday with
events and activities for all ages,
including local storyteller Margaret

Smiths Mitre 10 all started in 1964, when Reg Smith
began trading as a coal merchant at 3 Waimairi Rd.
Over time Reg expanded these humble beginnings
into a complete hardware store, joining the Mitre 10
group in 1981.
Reg opened a second store in Farrington Ave,
Bishopdale in 1983. The store expanded a couple of
times on the same site, before moving into an old
supermarket site at 135 Farrington Ave in 1988. It
didn’t take long for this store to become over flowing
with products, so it was excellent timing when in
1998 the old Farmers building next door became
available, tripling the size of the store.
The Smiths were looking for a larger site again when
the earthquakes badly damaged the Sanitarium
buildings, leading to a shortage of Marmite.
Sanitarium and Smiths came up with an agreement to
share the site for a number of years, so Marmite could
be continued to be made and a MEGA store built. In
2017 the production of Marmite in Christchurch had
discontinued and the space now became available
for the existing Mitre 10 Mega store to develop larger.
October 2019 saw the expansion complete on the
existing site. The retail hall has increased by 30% with
6,850 additional products, the outdoor garden area
has doubled. Also having a fully functional Columbus
café installed means 54 Harewood road is even more
MEGA than ever and we are all really excited to show
you the new store, after 36 years in the making.
Papanui Mega is the sister store to Mitre 10 Mega
Hornby and Mitre 10 Beckenham.

Plan to change blood spinning rules
EXTRACTION: Harness Racing New Zealand has made
changes to the practice of blood spinning.
But racing industry under pressure to ban it
• By Sophie Cornish
CHANGES HAVE been made to
the rules around blood spinning
in the harness racing industry.
But Harness Racing New
Zealand is refusing to go public
with the revised rules.
The process of blood spinning,
also known as ACS or PRP,
involves collecting blood from the
horse using a needle, processing
it in a laboratory, and then reinjecting
it back into the horse.
In July, The Star reported
HRNZ would review the rules of
the practice after the controversial
process was slammed by industry
veteran David Phillips. He made a
submission on the Special Review
of Racing Integrity Bodies, as part
of Minister for Racing Winston
Peters’ Messara Report.
In the submission, Mr Phillips
said the process is cruel and
called for it to be banned.
Animal welfare groups PETA,
SPCA and SAFE have also raised
concerns about the process and its
effect on animals.
HRNZ says the process is used
as a therapeutic treatment to aid
the healing of horses’ injuries.
HRNZ general manager
corporate services Liz Bishop
said proposed changes to the
rules were approved at an annual
conference at the end of last
month.
“There is a formal process to
go through before these changes
are incorporated into the HRNZ
rules of racing, which will happen
over the next month,” she said.
“The revised rules of racing
will be published on the HRNZ
website, once this process is
completed,” she said.
The rules currently state the
process must be used only when
prescribed by a vet and cannot
be done within one clear day of
racing.
The Star understands the new
rules may involve a seven-day
withholding period on the reintroduction
of the extracted
blood.
However, Mr Phillips said
“tinkering with the number of
days (by a day or two or even
week or two) pre-race spun blood
can be used is useless.
“No horses should be prepared
for any racing on a ‘diet’ of spun
blood or EPO or other artificial
enhancers. Racing should not
be about who has the best and
latest ‘vet’ product. It should be
about horses competing on a level
playing field. Why has (HRNZ)
introduced a seven-day ban,
when before it argued vocally a
one-day ban
was sufficient?
What was
it’s evidence,
science and
vet advice to
support a oneday
ban? What
is it’s evidence
to support
a seven-day
ban?”
Mark Purdon
One of the
New Zealand’s most successful
stables, Rolleston-based All Stars
Stables, uses the process.
Its owners Mark Purdon and
Natalie Rasmussen own Equine
Blood Solutions NZ Ltd, which
offers the treatment to customers.
Purdon did not respond to The
Star when asked for comment on
the new rules.

working as a software developer

“I was finding that I was waking

said.
Fast forward to now and he

picking up the Central South Island

After completing a degree
majoring in marketing and
design at the University of Otago
he started his own software development
business called Latch
Digital.
“I was working 12 hours a day
sometimes just staring at a computer
screen and that was pretty
tough on the mental health.”
He decided he needed a change
after five years in business and
started his building apprenticeship.
He said he has noticed a massive
improvement in his overall
well-being since doing so.
“The whole thing of seeing the
fruits of your labour and getting
to stand back at the end of the
day and look at your work, that
has really helped me.”
He said his workplace, Premium

massive source of support.
“It’s open enough to sit down

$1.8m approved for
Main North Rd bus lanes
• By Claire Booker
FUNDING HAS finally been
confirmed for the contentious
bus lanes on Main North Rd.
The $1.8 million project, which
was scheduled to start in July,
will see bus lanes put in between
Winston Ave and Grassmere St.
Work on the project is now
expected to start early next
year and should take about four
months to complete.
The issue of bus lanes on Main
North Rd has been contentious
since it was first raised in 2017
when it was revealed the project
would mean a loss of on-street
parking for businesses between
Harewood Rd and Winston Ave.
The other concern for residents
was the turning movements at
the intersection of Grassmere
St and Main North Rd. Both of
these key issues were mitigated
by altering where the bus lanes
would start and approving traffic
signals.
Improvements will include a
full-time bus lane running north
from Winston Ave to Grassmere
St, a signalised intersection
at Grassmere St, walking and
biking improvements, layout
change to the Northlands
Shopping Centre car park
entrance and more trees on Main
North Rd.
Thursday October 10 2019 The Star
GREEN LIGHT: After
a more than two-year
process, NZTA has
approved funding for the
Main North Rd bus priority
project.
Last week, the NZ Transport
Agency told The Star funding was
originally considered unlikely in
the current 2018-2021 period.
“After the recent review and
reprioritisation of National Land
Transport Programme projects,
funding was agreed to,” an
NZTA spokesman said.
The bus lane project has been
a key topic of debate between
Papanui Ward city councillor
Mike Davidson and Papanui-
Innes Community Board
member John Stringer, who
have opposing views on the
project.
The project was approved by
the city council in October last
year, which will pay for half of
the project costs.

Turanga, timeball applauded
• By Louis Day
THE TURANGA library and
Lyttelton Timeball Station are
two of eight buildings recognised
for their design.
The Christchurch Civic Trust
awarded eight buildings last
night for their contribution “to
the architectural, environmental
or cultural well-being of
Christchurch” and commended a
further five.
The civic trust applauded the
city council for the design of
Tūranga library.
The city council-commissioned
international architectural firm
Architectus to design the new
central library. The $92 million
building, which opened last year,
was described as the “by far the
most impressive and largest cityrun
library in the South Island”
by the trust.
The city council also received
an award for the restoration of
Risingholme Homestead Opawa,
as well as being commended on
its repair of the Nurses’ Memorial
Chapel and reinstatement of the
Woolston Community Library.
Heritage New Zealand received
BIG AND BOLD: The $92.7 million five-storey Turanga library opened in October last year (Right) – The Lyttelton Timeball
Station.
an award for its revamp of the
historic Lyttelton Timeball Station.
Built in 1876 to a design
by architect Thomas Cane, it
signalled the correct time for
ships in Lyttelton Harbour
until 1934 when radio replaced
it as a means of maritime
communication.
The reconstruction of the
station after it was destroyed
in the 2011 earthquake was
completed in October 2018.
The Avonside Girls’ and Shirley
Boys’ High Schools campus
was recognised for its “quality
of design and functionality of a
major new learning facility and
its value to the east Christchurch
community.”
As a consequence of the 2010
and 2011 earthquakes, both
schools were left with damaged
buildings and land, which led
to them combining on a single
campus. The new schools were
opened earlier this year at QE II
Park.
The campus has four sports
fields, three gymnasiums, two
theatres, a cafe and a cultural
space.

EROSION: The community wants more details on the
Southshore and South New Brighton estuary edge repairs.
Questions remain on
estuary edge repairs
• By Matt Slaughter
THE SOUTHSHORE and
South New Brighton estuary
edge will be repaired – the
question is when and how?
In August the city council
made the decision to repair
earthquake damage along the
estuary edge, which has left
the area prone to flooding and
erosion.
Concerned residents and the
Coastal-Burwood Community
Board have been asking for the
repairs to happen since the 2011
earthquake.
Some community members
said although they are pleased
the repairs will go ahead, they
want the city council to come
forward with details on when
they are likely to start and finish
and what they will entail.
Said city council head of
parks Andrew Rutledge: “At
this stage, we don’t have specific
start and finish dates for this
project. Currently, we are in the
process of developing a project
brief and preliminary costing
and design. This project has yet
to be fully scoped.”
Said departing community
board deputy chairman Tim
Sintes, who has been one of
the main campaigners for the
estuary edge repairs: “We have
been given a deadline, which
is 2020 when things will start
happening but an actual start
time, I’m not sure. We know
there’s a commitment to do
something, but what will it be?
That’s the question I’m getting.”

Slow start and limited success
FROM WHAT I can gather
of this parenting game, there
must be a whole lot time spent
doubting your abilities.
Whenever a friend’s child of an
age with Vittoria does some new
thing – talking, toileting, that sort
of thing – I tend to think along
the lines as to whether I should’ve
been doing more to get bubs to
match. Sounds dumb right?
Getting her back into sleeping
in her own bed and transitioning
her to using a potty are my
current goals. The thought that
out there, people I know go
through whole nights without
being woken up by a toddler
rolling onto their head and
snoring in their ears spurs on the
first goal.
Hearing about the elaborate
toilet training schemes of others
drives the second.
Because, lets be real, unless
you’ve done it before, how on
Earth do you train someone to
use the toilet?
The bed thing is pretty self
explanatory, it just takes sufficient
resolve and she’s been happy in
her own bed (in our room still)
for the last couple of nights.
The potty thing? I’m not so
sure. I tried slowly introducing
a potty by getting her to sit on it
before changing her clothes and
it worked amazingly. Once.
She successfully used it on
the first go, but the experience

art of stick-fighting before
cleaning up.
traumatised her somehow, it was
actually an incredibly civilised
affair with a victory treat. After
four days I’ve only just bribed her
enough to sit on it again. But only
with pants her on.
So, slowly, slowly on that one.
VITTORIA
& Matt
I assume, like I said, I’ve never
trained anyone to use a toilet.
But like a little surprise
to boost my parenting
confidence, I discovered on
Monday that Vittoria is already
an environmentally and
community-minded young lady.
I’d taken her to Latimer Square
to run about in the sun and grass,
with a side order of first stickfighting
lesson.
Right after learning the basics
– stick sizes need to match and it
doesn’t count if you don’t make
“sword sounds” – she stopped,
turned, and rushed off to throw
a stray piece of paper in a nearby
bin.
But one was not enough, she
ran about cleaning up all rubbish
in a wide swathe of the square.
Even two coffee cups at once.
So, chalk that up to
gold-standard parenting and
one-step (sit?) at a time on the
other stuff.

City develops cycling culture
THERE’S MORE to cycling in
Christchurch than just getting to
work or school.
That’s the message from Robert
Fleming, coordinator of Biketober,
the city’s annual month-long
festival of the bicycle.
“A large number of residents
use their bike as transport,” Mr
Fleming explains. “However,
our city is becoming known as a
cycling city for more reasons than
the daily commute.”
Christchurch’s expanding network
of cycleways is one of those
reasons. In the past year, two new
cycle paths have been completed:
one linking the central city and
Halswell (where it ends by Te
Hāpua: Halswell Centre) and one
taking riders from the central
city to The Tannery complex in
Woolston.
With the list of cycling routes
growing, so too is the number
of people using their bikes. The
automated cycle counters around
the city are recording an increase
in the number of cycle trips
residents are taking. For example,
over the last eight months cycle
trips at the Antigua Street bridge
increased 17 percent on the same
time the previous year, and a St
Asaph Street counter registered a
12.6 percent increase.
Biketober participation reflects
this growth as the festival continues
to cultivate the city’s biking
culture.
“Our aim is to encourage people
to experience cycling,” said
Mr Fleming. “The events showcase
bicycles as being both practical
and enjoyable: a bike turns a
commute into a fitness session; a
cargo bike can eliminate a family’s
reliance on a second car; the
freedom of cycling gives children
a taste of independence. Cycling
can easily be everyday transport.”
An innovation of this year’s
festival sees the popular Biketober
Passport competition going
digital. Riders can use their
smartphones to collect electronic
stamps from nearly 50 participating
destinations across the city.
A tempting array of prizes (over
$7000 worth) is up for grabs by
MyPassport collectors, including
new bicycles and an e-bike.
“People are really starting to
take notice of how important
cycling is to our city,” said
Mr Fleming. “This year has
seen a jump in the range of
organisations keen to take part in
the festival – they see the benefits
bikes bring to our community.”
Biketober runs from
October 1-31. The full
calendar of events and
contest details can be

OUR PEOPLE – OLIVER HUNT
Eliminating waste from single-use medical
Young entrepreneur
Oliver Hunt took
home one of the top
honours at the Westpac
Champion Awards last
month, the Christchurch
City Council Champion
Business for Good
Award. His business
Medsalv works with
hospitals to reduce their
environmental impact
and costs. Louis Day
catches up with the
25-year-old
What is Medsalv?
So Medsalv is New Zealand’s
single-use medical device
reprocessor, so we take used
single-use medical devices from
hospitals where they would
usually go to landfill and we test
them, inspect them, clean them
and sterilise them, whatever is
required to get them back to a
reuseable, safe, clinical re-use
state and then we give them back
to hospitals for a lower price than
their original price.
What made you want to start
Medsalv?
I was discussing waste and
inefficiency in health with my
uncle and on the back of that
conversation we looked at some
medical devices that he had in
the back of his garage which
weren’t actually used but they
had expired and done some
more digging and found that
there is this huge waste stream
in New Zealand that isn’t being
addressed at all so it was really
that which made me want to start
the business and obviously being
able to provide a cost-saving as
well is a good thing. The three
core pillars are environmental
sustainability, financial and
patient care sustainability. We
are delivering fantastic resource
efficiencies when there were
originally none.
What is the dream for you?
In New Zealand, the goal is
to eliminate the 1700 tonnes of
waste from single-use medical
devices which we estimate is
going to landfill on an annual
basis and turn those into medical
devices which can be reused
once or more at least and deliver
a saving in the realms of $100
million per annum. That is where
we would like to get to because

the 1700

that is what we think this is a
totally addressable problem.
Any plans to take Medsalv
overseas?
The problem in New Zealand
is massive so we are trying to
solve that before going into
offshore markets. Not ruling it
out though.
What age did you start your
business?
I was 23 when I started it.
What was it like starting a
business at such a young age?
Interesting, I have always been
driven to get involved and
pursue a project and essentially
this is just a huge project and
you know, this is a fantastic way
to learn a lot but also be able to
make a difference with it is great
too.
How did it feel winning the
champion business for good
award?
It was really fantastic to see
that what we are doing is getting
recognised and that people are
getting behind us, especially the
city council and the recognition
for what we are doing is great too.
Do you have any role models?
I think, Sir Paul Callaghan
has had some pretty good ideas
about technology and New
Zealand in general and I can see
some of them coming through
in New Zealand today. There are
obviously some people in the
startup world over here that have
done some amazing things, if you
don’t say Peter Beck then who
do you say? Also, the guys who
run companies like Icebreaker,
Jeremy Moon, Tim Brown with
Allbirds. There are so many
people in New Zealand that you
can look up to that have taken on
mammoth problems and made
a serious dent in them. I don’t
look up to any one person, I look
at particular people for their
strengths.

devices aim of young entrepreneur
What is it you enjoy the most
about your job?
I think it is probably being
able to align my personal values
with what I am doing on a day to
day basis. I am obviously really
interested in sustainability and
more equitable health. A key
reason for being is to deliver the
best health care to the most people
in the most sustainable way.
What are the biggest
challenges of your job?
There are a lot of people in
healthcare who defend the
status quo and the nature of our
business disrupts that which is
not necessarily easy all the time,
look where the status quo has got
us. The status quo is clearly not
delivering for New Zealanders.
What are your hobbies?
I am pretty into my outdoor
sports, surfing, skiing and
mountain biking are probably my
three passions, I quite like playing
tennis as well but yes, anytime
spent outside is a good time.
Where do you see yourself in
20 years time?
I haven’t even looked past 10
to be honest. Hopefully living in
a country with a far better and
more sustainable health care
system. But honestly 20 years is
a long way away, I’m only 25 so I
would be 45, so I’m not sure.
Wife and kids?
I would say I would have both
of those things and I think I will
be living in New Zealand and out
still skiing and mountain biking,
hopefully, there will be snow on
the mountains that is probably
my key concern for the next 20
years. Will I be able to surf or
will I be surfing halfway through
New Brighton over the shops?
But in terms of realising where I
see myself in 20 years, I hope we
have at least reached our goal of
saving New Zealand’s health care
sector $100 million per annum
and the problem that once was
no longer exists. Medsalv is a
problem that exists to solve a
problem that shouldn’t so if we
rid New Zealand of that problem
in 20 years we will be doing well.
What did you want to be when
you were growing up? Did you
always want to be repurposing
single-use hospital equipment?
For a long time, I actually
wanted to be an orthopaedic
surgeon which my uncle is. I
thought it was a cool way to
combine a mechanical passion,
being good with hands with
caring for people I also have a
family which I say is infested
with doctors which is a good
thing but I mean that was

engineering and the other
one which is where I started
my business, where I started
Medsalv, is in engineering
management.
Did you live the stereotypical
student lifestyle? Were you in
the University of Canterbury
Engineering Society?
Not so much the stereotypical
student lifestyle. I was on ENSOC
for a year but I was also on the
Canterbury University Board
Riders Association and got
involved in that, so yes, I did get
involved in student life.
Do you miss being a student?
Yes, there are obviously good
thing and bad things about
being a student. So yes to a point.
The good things about being a
student would be that you have
complete control over your own
time and nobody is checking
if you are going for lectures,
you can go skiing every day of
the week or whatever, few good
parties and you get to play with
some pretty cool stuff at the
university form an engineering
standpoint, they have got cool
equipment.
What were some of the bad
things about student life?
Well, you have got to go to
class eventually, you have got
exams. But on the whole that
would be about it, it’s mainly just
good fun.

OPINION
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
The coming week
in our history
October 10, 1975 - The
Government created the
tribunal to hear Māori
claims of breaches of the Treaty
of Waitangi. It has evolved ever
since, adapting to the demands
of claimants, government and
public.
October 11, 1861 - The
first Cobb & Co coach service
ran from Dunedin to Gabriels
Gully gold fields. Cobb & Co
reduced the time for the trip
from two days to nine hours.
The company was founded
in Melbourne in 1854. In
1861, its proprietor, Charles
Cole, arrived in Dunedin
with a luxury American
Concord coach, five wagons,
a buggy, more than 50 horses,
and a reputation for speed and
reliability. One week later, the
first ‘Cobb & Co Telegraphic
Line of Coaches’ service began
a new era in New Zealand
transport.
October 12, 1917 - Eight
hundred and forty three
New Zealand soldiers were
killed or mortally wounded
in one day during the Battle
of Passchendaele, probably
the greatest disaster in New
Zealand’s history.
October 13, 1975 - Whina
Cooper leads a 5000 march
to Parliament and presented
a petition signed by 60,000
people to Prime Minister Bill
Rowling. The primary aim
of the hīkoi was to protest
ongoing Māori land alienation.
October 14, 1979 - The
gangland murder of ‘Mr Asia’
Marty Johnstone led to the
demise of one of New Zealand’s
largest ever drug rings.
Johnstone was killed on the
orders of drug lord Terry Clark.
Divers found his mutilated
body in a flooded quarry in
England.
October 15, 2007 - Citing
the Terrorism Suppression
Act, police arrested 18 people
in raids linked to alleged
weapons-training camps near
the Bay of Plenty township of
Rūātoki.
Taken before their time
I RECEIVED a phone call on
Monday morning I knew would
come, but it was one I didn’t want.
It was news 19-year-old Megan
Hore had succumbed to the
cancer she and her family thought
she may have beaten.
The call followed another on
Sunday; Megan had slipped into a
coma and it was now just a matter
of time.
It felt like an almighty kick in
the guts. While the outcome for
Megan was now hopeless, you
never lose sight of the fact there is
always that slender chance.
The Star has followed Megan’s
battle with a form of bone cancer
through 2019. She had been
declared cancer-free in October
last year but as cancer often does,
it came back.
She had an amazing outlook on
life, a great supportive family, and
was a Disneyland fanatic. On her
wish list was a plan to visit every
Disneyland in the world.
Our articles prompted artist
Rangi Downes to get out his
brushes and paint Micky Mouse
paintings to help Megan’s
fundraising bid to help get to
the Disneylands. We got Richie
McCaw, Tom Walsh and Sophie
Pascoe to sign the paintings in a
bid to help raise money for her
trips.
Thanks guys for helping out. It
was appreciated.
Megan managed to visit a few of
those theme parks while juggling
her university studies. Her family
said she had a great time.
Cancer treatment is literally a
roller coaster and you can only
imagine the lows and then highs,
and lows again, Megan and her
family have endured over the past
year.
Things were really looking up
until August when she returned
to hospital for more checks.
Cancerous nodules were found
on her left lung and half of it was
removed. Megan deteriorated
soon after and she and her family
were told leukaemia had taken
hold. She only had months to
live and may not make it to
Christmas, they were told.
Megan’s death made me think
again about another remarkable
young woman, Trudi Johnstone.
Trudi was part of Canteen, a

claimed them.
support organisation for young
people with cancer.
Trudi, who was battling a brain
tumour, started writing a weekly
column for The Star, 14 years ago.
It seems like yesterday.
Trudi was a natural writer,
had an insight into what
people wanted to read and as a
result her column had a great
following.
Like Megan, Trudi’s battle
was a roller coaster and for a
long period of time it looked like
the brain tumour was beaten.
Trudi was always positive,
bubbly and did an amazing
job week-in week-out, always
getting her column in on time
and written to about the right
length to fit the space on the
page.
Then when everything was
looking just so good for Trudi,
who was in her early 20s, the
world for her and family turned
360 degrees.
The tumour had come back and
was aggressive.
Trudi remained positive and
insisted writing her column as her
condition deteriorated.
She had visits in hospital
from many well-wishers,
including one of her favourites
Dan Carter.
Life can be very cruel. Two
amazing young people taken well
before their time.
As my grandmother once
said: Try and make every day a
good day.

Readers respond to an
article about the white
supremacist posters
found at the Canterbury
University campus
Meren Iscariot – This is
what happens with unlimited
free speech, we tolerate those who
preach hate and division and this
is what happens when those ideas
have room to grow.
Julian Visch – Nutters
whom still live in their parents
basement.
Jo Kenji Tanouye – I’m
glad Canterbury University has
no place for racism and hate.
Wish the same could be said for
Auckland University.
Ben O’Connor – Free
speech?
Jo Hosking – At least we
know who to avoid and who the
police can keep an eye on.
Some people seem incapable
of changing their beliefs, so in
some ways, it’s better that they
are open about it, rather than
forced underground and fuelled
by others hate towards them to
inflict their own hate crimes.
Sometimes it’s better the devil
you know, than the devil you
don’t.
Emma MacDonald – Just
rip them down if you see them.
Or make awesome and witty
counter posters?

people are thanking the media

Readers respond to an
article about the home
detention sentence given

Katrina Criglington –
People wonder why Christchurch
has got a lot of crime, in my
opinion it is because if you get
caught all you get is a slap with a
wet bus ticket. I feel that if you do
the crime you should get punished.
Home detention is not punishment
for a lot of people.
Instead it is time to sit on the
couch and do sweet nothing all day.
These judges are doing no favours
to the Christchurch community by
handing out such weak sentences.
Jude Brown – That sentence
is a freaking disgrace. I’ve known
people to get the same sentence
for having a couple of tinnies.
Denis Lynn Gillison
– I really don’t know what is
happening to our justice system.
He will do it again and next
time it could be worse. Come on

anyone. What is wrong with our

Chris Knight – No justice to

Holly Bryce – These days it

starnews.co.nz article
about a group of irate
rugby fans who say they
will sue Spark Sport for
$250 million over its
issues with live streaming
the Rugby World Cup
Joan Debbie – I always
knew it wouldn’t go well. For
a start there’s not enough fibre
connections in NZ or fast
broadband.
Amelia Anne Carter – I
don’t think it is Spark’s fault, I
think it comes down to the type
of TV customers have. We use
Chromecast from my phone
to our TV and we have had no
problems.
Nic Davies – Not the end of
the world – more money than
sense, only a game.
Graeme Brown – Well most
of us that deal with Spark on a
regular basis knew it was never
going to work.
Rob Harrison – I got told
to do the same and offered
no discount after repeated
breakdowns while watching EPL.
I watched the (All Blacks) game
free to air as I didn’t want the
hassle – $120 down the drain so
far.
Isaac Murray – There is a lot
of misguided recommendations
or accusations going on here. A
few things to bear in mind. If
you are using the app on your
smart TV and you experience
disruptions, try loading a
YouTube video on another device
also on wireless. If that struggles
to buffer, try again on a wired
device, if that fails to buffer
then it’s likely your bandwidth.
If YouTube loads fine on wired
but not wireless, disconnect all
wireless devices (aside from your
OPINION 25
TV) and try moving your router
closer to your TV. If you are
using a range extender you are
creating an additional wireless
hop for an AV signal to travel
through. When streaming live
media it is a broadcast, meaning
any lost data packets are unlikely
to be caught in a back log and will
be lost for good (or will stream
rapidly to catch up to real time
footage). Try eliminating the
range extender, too. If your range
extender is wired to your router
then it shouldn’t be an issue. The
app was first released on Samsung
TVs and later on LGs, Panasonics
etc. It was a beta version app
for an alarmingly long time and
was only made available to late
model TVs, meaning the wi-fi
antennas on those TVs should be
good enough to ensure seamless
live AV streaming. There is a
chance that the TV, albeit late
model, has not got adequate
componentry, in which case you
may try streaming through your
phone to a Chromecast or Apple
TV etc. The fact of the matter
is it was a rushed production
by Spark, which also took little
responsibility for the fact that the
streaming service was dubious
even prior to release. However,
this should not detract from ISP
services (or any other ISP for that
matter). It is not an ISP issue, and
unless you’re on ADSL or 4g in a
congested location, it is unlikely
to be an incoming connection
issue.

our Soul, our personality
and our character.
So, even if you’re not an
“Animal Lover” as such,
or if you’ve never owned a
pet, come and join Scott as
he brings forth a veritable
menagerie of the world’s most exotic animals – all
imbued with messages of LOVE from the Spirit World.
You may be surprised to discover that you have a small
hoard of Animals waiting to offer you Guidance, Insight
and Healing without ever realizing it.

INSPIRATIONAL: Eleanor Hurton won two trophies at
the Canterbury University Blues Awards and received four
nominations for the community awards.
PHOTO: CHRISTIAN LEE – CERVID MEDIA
YOUNG, SUCCESSFUL
& on the move
• By Jess Gibson
ELEANOR HURTON has
found strength in living with a
disability.
And now, she is empowering
other young people to do the
same.
The 25-year-old master’s student,
who has a hearing disorder,
received two major trophies at
the Canterbury University Blues
Awards.
She won the outstanding contribution
to equity and diversity
award and was a joint winner of
the most prestigious community
award the outstanding achievement
in community engagement.
Miss Hurton received four
nominations for the community
awards – the most ever received
in the community section since
the category was added to the
awards three years ago.
“I feel very humbled. As a
young person with a disability,
when I won multiple Blues
Awards I didn’t win them for
myself, I won then for everyone
in the disabled community who
strives to make Aotearoa a more
equitable and accessible country
for people with disabilities,” she
said.
“It great deal to me because
the work many of us do in the
disability space is often unseen
and unrecognised so it was really
special to be acknowledged
by the university, and by the
members of my community who
nominated me for the awards.”
Miss Hurton was diagnosed
with auditory processing disorder,
which affects how the brain
processes speech, in 2017.
She had been struggling with
her hearing since she began
studying at university in 2014,
and in spite of numerous hearing
tests in the year prior, a cause had
not been found.
It was only after she pushed to
be referred to specialist services
that a diagnosis was finally made.
Following an initial bout of
thinking APD was the worst part
about her, she came to terms with
her diagnosis and decided she
would support others who may
feel like they had to hide their
truth.
Since then, Miss Hurton has
gone on to set up ReDefine:
Youth Development Programme,
which aims to redefine what it
means to be a young person with
a disability and empowers them
to take on a positive identity.
Miss Hurton is on the management
team of Youth Voice
Canterbury, providing pathways
for young people to be included
and involved in decision-making,
to have a voice and to be leaders
in their communities.
“I carry my community with
me in everything that I achieve.
I would not be able to do what I
do for my community without
them.”
She is the first person with a
disability to ever be on the committee
for the Christchurch City/
Banks Peninsula community organisation
grants scheme, which
has allocated over $700,000 of
funds to the disability sector.
Additionally, she has featured
on the New Zealand Human
Rights Commission “Proud to
be me” website, which helps to
help raise the voices of disabled
New Zealanders by sharing their
stories.
She was also selected as one of
50 young people with disabilities
to attend the I.Lead Conference,
New Zealand’s first national
conference for youth with
disabilities, in Wellington last
month.

Actress returns to direct Pasifika play
• By Georgia O’Connor-
Harding
TANYA Muagututti’a was in her
early 20s when she was cast to
play a key role in an original play
capturing the challenges Pacific
Islanders face when they move to
New Zealand.
Now, 25 years on, the original
cast member is back as a director
for Pasifika production Fresh Off
the Boat.
Muagututti’a has been asked
by The Court Theatre to direct
the show – which she first toured
with her theatre company Pacific
Underground in 1993.
Written by Oscar Kightley and
Simon Small, the play successfully
toured the country before
heading over to Australia and
Samoa between 1993 and 1995.
“I am pretty blown away to
have been asked, I feel very fortunate
to have been part of that
early journey and coming to a
point now where it is a new generation.
I am honoured to be able
to direct it,” Muagututti’a said.
She said the writers of the
show are her old friends and to
bring their play to the stage 20
off years later adds to the honour.
Set in Christchurch, Fresh Off
the Boat focuses on the challenges
Pasifikas face when they
move to New Zealand.
Although the show was first
performed in the early 90s,
SHE’S BACK: Original cast member Tanya Muagututti’a (third from right), has been asked
to direct Fresh Off the Boat for The Court Theatre after first performing as an actress in the
production in 1993. Muagututti’a with the 2019 cast and crew.
Muagututti’a believes it is now
more important than ever the
story is told.
She said there are all sorts
of challenges faced by Pacific
Islanders when they first move
to New Zealand – from culture
shock to language barriers.
“I think that is why it is such
a relevant story today – not only
in Christchurch but all over the
world,” Muagututti’a said.
Muagututti’a said Fresh Off the
Boat is a well-known story in the
cities’ Pasifika communities.
“Twenty-five years later, this
story is really about enforcing
that Aotearoa and Christchurch
needs to embrace all people who
come here,” she said.
The show will truly be a family
affair for Muagututti’a. Two of
her daughters – Talia-Rae and
Josephine Mavaega will play the
roles of Evotia and Ula in the
production.
When Muagututti’a first
‘This story is really about
enforcing that Aotearoa
and Christchurch needs to
embrace all people who
come here’
– Tanya Muagututti’a
performed in the production
in 1993, she played the role of
Ula, alongside with her sister
Mishelle.
In the new production, her
husband Pos Mavaega is the
sound designer while her
brother-in-law Tony De Goldi is
the set designer.
While Muagututti’a is a firstgeneration
New Zealander she
shares a deep connection with
her Samoan culture.
When her father moved to
New Zealand between the 1930s
and 1940s, children were told off
and beaten for speaking Samoan
and had to sacrifice their
language.
Muagututti’a said she is hoping
the production will inspire
performers of a Pasifika heritage
to keep sharing their stories and
give them a sense of identity.
•Fresh Off the Boat
will run at The Court
Theatre from October
19 to November 9. To

GREEK SEASONED
PORTERHOUSE STEAK
WITH CUCUMBER AND
TOMATO SALAD
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
SLOW-COOKED BEEF
SHORT RIBS
Ingredients
Thursday October 10 2019 The Star
FOOD 33
Ingredients
450g porterhouse steaks (cut into
2cm thick pices)
1 medium lemon
1 tablespoon Greek seasoning
(see recipe below)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium cucumber (cut
lengthwise in half, then crosswise
into thin slices)
4 slices red onion
2 cups halved grape tomatoes
1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese
Salt and pepper
Directions
Grate lemon peel and squeeze
one tablespoon juice from
lemon.
Combine Greek seasoning (see
below) and lemon peel with two
tablespoons olive oil. Reserve
two teaspoons mixture for salad.
Press remaining mixture
evenly onto beef steaks. Let it sit
for about 20min.
Place steaks on grill over
medium heat. Grill covered for
15-19min, turning occasionally.
Meanwhile, combine reserved
two teaspoons seasoning
mixture, lemon juice, cucumber,
tomatoes, red onions, and cheese
in medium bowl, stirring to
combine.
Carve steaks into slices. Season
with salt, as desired. Sprinkle
with blue cheese. Serve beef with
cucumber and tomato salad.
In a small bowl mix spices
together and store in a sealed
container.
For the Greek seasoning,
use one teaspoon cracked
black pepper, two teaspoons
garlic powder, two teaspoons
onion powder, two teaspoons
dried parsley, one teaspoon
dried oregano, one teaspoon
dried basil, one teaspoon dried
rosemary, one teaspoon dried
lemon peel, one teaspoon
dried thyme and 1/2 teaspoon
marjoram leaves. Mix all the
ingredients together in a small
bowl. Store in an air-tight
container.
Olive oil, for frying
6 beef short ribs
1 large head of garlic, cut in half
horizontally
1 heaped tablespoon tomato
purée
1 x 750ml bottle red wine
1-litre beef stock
150g pancetta lardons
250g small chestnut
mushrooms, trimmed and
halved
Sea salt and freshly ground
black pepper
Chopped flat leaf parsley, to
garnish
Directions
Preheat the oven to 170 deg
C. Heat a deep-sided roasting
tray on the hob and add a glug
of olive oil. Season the short
ribs thoroughly, then fry for
10-15min to brown really well
on all sides.
Add the halved garlic head,
cut side down, pushing it to the
bottom of the pan.
Add the tomato purée and
heat for 1-2min to cook it out.
Pour in the wine to deglaze
the pan, scraping up the bits at
the bottom. Bring to the boil
and cook for 10-15min until
the liquid is reduced by half,
then add stock to nearly cover
the ribs (you’ll need less stock
if your roasting tray isn’t very
large). Bring to the boil again,
basting the ribs with the juices.
Cover the roasting tray with
foil and cook in the preheated
oven for three to four hours,
basting now and then until the
meat is tender and falling away
from the bone.
About 10min before the short
ribs are ready to come out,
fry the pancetta for 2-3min
until crisp and golden. Add
the mushrooms and cook for
4–5min until tender. Drain off
any excess fat.
When the short ribs are ready,
remove from the oven and
transfer to a serving dish.
Squeeze the garlic cloves out
of their skins and pass through
a sieve.
Spoon off any excess fat from
the beef cooking liquid, then
strain it through the sieve and
mix with the garlic (if the sauce
is too thin, reduce the cooking
liquid by heating for 10-15min
more after straining).
Serve the short ribs topped
with the hot pancetta and
mushrooms and the sauce
poured around.
Garnish with chopped flat leaf
parsley.

Tips to improve your outdoor living area
POPULAR: Producing healthy food is good for the soul and satisfying for the
pocket. (Right) – Use stone as a means of decoration.
TURN THE corner and we
are almost there, the warmer
weather is a sure indication
Christmas is not far away.
Wise are those who plan and
work in advance. Unfortunately,
most of us wait until the last
minute to work on our gardens,
just before the big day arrives.
Often we find the task either
too big or too difficult, hence
a lot of us leave it incomplete
or even worse, don’t start at all.
Well, here are some simple tips
to improve your outdoor living
areas.
You can always let the cobwebs
inside take care of themselves, at
least they catch flies.
One: If your garden is too
much to handle then simplify it.
Look at what plants you have.
Your likes and dislikes. Too big
or too small? Leaf droppers or
sun blockers? The list goes on.
Ascertain what has to go and
get rid of them. You may be
surprised at how simple things
make a big difference.
Two: Remember, often less is
best. At this stage you may need
to seek some professional advice
to help keep in mind the picture
you want to create.
Three: If your garden and
plant maintenance is high and
you’re finding it hard to cope,
then weed out the problem. For
example, it just maybe time to
realise that the roses are no longer
suitable. Remember you can
always substitute them with an
alternative plant.
Four: Consider building
raised gardens with timber or
garden sleepers. Besides adding
a point of interest, you have the
added benefits of a well drained
garden that is easier to maintain.
You may even consider split
level gardens which will add an
aesthetic value to your piece of
paradise.
Five: Consider plants that
either give off scent or produce
food. This is an increasingly
popular trend, with the benefits
of producing organic fruit and
vegetables being both healthy for
the body, good for the soul and
satisfying for the pocket.
Six: Make your garden as
maintenance-free as possible.
Consider alternatives to bark and
mulch using non-organic product
such as decorative stone and
using a quality non-woven weed
matt for weed control.
Seven: Consider painting or
staining timber fences, retaining
walls and other wooden structures.
This will give a fresh look
and can be colour co-ordinated
to enhance your overall look and
design.
Eight: If the task is too much
or you need some advice call
your professional landscaper for
help. There may be things you
haven’t considered.

A WATER feature in the garden
gives a different dimension and
adds value to your home.
Apart from it having a cooling
effect that is soothing for the soul,
the sound of gurgling water has a
meditative, relaxing quality about
it.
Water can enhance any garden
and when used effectively, has the
power to attract the maximum
attention compared to any other
garden feature.
In smaller gardens where space
is a constraint, water is best used
in conjunction with a sculptured
feature or a fountain, or a little
rock garden which could easily
be the focal point of your little
stretch of paradise.
If you do happen to own a bigger
garden, a free flowing pond
could work wonders. There is a
lot you can play around with, in
terms of plant and marine life that
can add to its visual appeal.
The added advantage being,
fish can get rid of the mosquito
menace. To increase the darkness
or depth of the colour of water,
you can dramatise the effect by
using dark, large-leafed evergreens.
The shape and style of your water
feature will be dictated largely
by the site itself and whether you
want to just get wet and play with
the family or just add aesthetic
appeal to your home.
Style will depend on the architecture
of your house, the shape
and contours of the site and the
character and dominance of the
surrounding landscape. Simple
shapes are usually the best for
garden ponds.
They generally look best, cost
the least to construct and are
the easiest to maintain. If you
are unsure about the shape or
size, consider consulting a good
landscape designer or landscape
architect.
The best way to decide on construction
materials is to discuss
their various merits with experts
in hydraulics, pool contractors
and friends with existing pools.
Initial cost, ongoing maintenance
and visual appeal should all
be considered. Once you’ve decided
on the kind of water feature
you want, you may need to decide
whether the water is flowing or
static.
In a pond it’s easy to achieve
moving water on a small scale
with a lowvoltage garden pond
water pump.
Don’t forget to take into account
the safety factor for children.
Another important factor
you should take into consideration
is the ease of cleaning and
general maintenance.
If in doubt, keep it simple. A
shallow sheet of reflecting water
can be as stylish and far less work
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
to keep looking good.
Shallow water and dark colours
are the key to good reflections.
Whatever its size or style, a
water feature certainly makes the
garden very attractive, adding
elements of beauty, sound and
reflection to the landscape.

BMW X5 represents
power and comfort
IT WAS over 40 years
ago, I was walking along
Riccarton Rd and stumbled
on a car sales yard which
had a BMW 2002 for sale.
Quite obviously it had
been a private import – it
was left-hand-drive – but
it made an impression on
me, I was very keen but the
price was way out of my
budget. It was one of those
cars which cemented my
long-held desire for sports
sedans.
BMW has come a
long way since then, not
only does it still produce
desirable sedans but like
most manufacturers today,
the majority of sales are
gleaned in the sport uitility
market.
Early this year the company
launched its latest
generation X5, and BMW
New Zealand is landing it
here in three specifications,
other variants are sure to
follow.
At present there is the
choice of two six-cylinder
3-litre diesels or a 3-litre
six-cylinder petrol. The test
car was the xDrive30d, the
entry model at $135,200.
The other variants are the
xDrive40i at $147,900 and
M50d at $177,900. The new
X5 is true to its heritage, it
is the large sport utility vehicle
that impresses with its
build quality, performance
and economy.
It is also chock full of
specification, the list is way
too long to detail considering
it was also fitted with
many of the specification
items from BMW’s long list
of optional extras.
Personally, I could do
without all the bells and
whistles, the X5 is a car
with purpose, it is there for
the family car buyer who
also needs practicality, and
it does that well within its
design parameter, even
though it is just a five-seater
only. Comfort levels are
high, and the X5 travels
quietly and smoothly.
Much of the latter is
due to the sophistication
within the suspension and
driveline. BMW rates the
2993cc diesel at 195kW and
620Nm; as a performance
car builder, the company
has produced an engine
with remarkable outputs,
both developed low in the
rev band at 4000rpm and
2000rpm respectively.
Drive is passed through
an eight-speed transmission
to all four wheels, this
process almost seamless
and contributes to the
refinement of the entire
package, it’s uncanny how
the gearbox can harness the
high power outputs without

notice. There are also several
drive modes which can
be tempered to suit each
individual’s driving preference.
In terms of performance,
• Price – BMW X5 30d,
$135,200
• Dimensions –
Length, 4922mm;
width, 2004mm;
height, 1745mm
• Configuration
– Six-cylinder, fourwheel-drive,
2993cc,
195kW, 620Nm,
eight-speed
automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 6.8sec
• Fuel usage –
7.2l/100km
the big X5 has a solid turn
of speed, it will accelerate
to 100km/h in 6.8sec, and
will return a fuel usage
combined cycle average
of 7.2-litre per 100km
(39mpg), that fits with the
evaluation car’s readout, it
was showing a constant average
of around 8.8l/100km
(32mpg). It also showed
a 5.5l/100km (51mpg)
instantaneous figure at a
steady 100km/h cruise, the
engine unstressed at a lowly
1300rpm.
On the road, the X5
cruises with much dignity
and poise, as you would expect
from a luxury European
car. I drove the fabulous
high country roads taking
in State Highway 72, the
scenic route between Canterbury’s
two main river
gorges.
The X5 has handling and
control that is akin to models
from the company that
Motoring
Ross Kiddie
has such an enviable sporty
car heritage, including that
old 2002.
I’m not saying the X5 is a
sports car but it does have
attributes that draws in that
technique as a car maker.
The 30d rides on huge 22in
wheels and that contributes
greatly as to how the X5
feels from behind the wheel,
not withstanding that fourwheel-drive
enhances grip
in the first instance.
The X5 buyer can push
quickly into a corner with
the knowledge that it has
ability, and offers reassurance
at the same time.
While its handling and
surety must be described as
well above average, it does
so without compromising
comfort, body movement
is well controlled without
the spring and damper rates
being overly firmed.
As I’ve alluded to, the
X5 is a large SUV, it sits at
just under 5m and it has a
wealth of internal space so
that occupants can spread
out and enjoy the associated
benefits.
If you think that comes at
the cost of rear load space,
that’s certainly not the case,
BMW claims an 645-litre
cargo carrying capacity,
stretching to 1860-litres
with the rear seats folded
flat.
The X5 has carved out
a healthy part of New
Zealand’s SUV market, the
new model will only add
to its appeal, it’s a versatile,
practical all-rounder, and
one which through its quality
build will serve and last
for many years.
I certainly hope to get a
drive with the other engine
choices.

WORLD ENDURO champion
Hamish Macdonald is back
home for a month and off
to “party” after a gruelling
six-month campaign in Europe.
The 20-year-old returned to his
family home at West Melton over
the weekend as the FIM 125cc
youth enduro world champion
after overcoming a serious injury
in the middle of the season to
claim the title.
“I’ll have a month off the
bike to catch up with friends
and family and just party for a
while,” he said.
“I was signed on a one-year
deal so I knew it was a case of
make or break for me, which I
guess is a fair bit of pressure but
it has paid off,” he said.
The result means he is likely
to be back competing in Europe
next year but nothing has been
confirmed at this stage.
“It’s always been a dream of
mine to be a world champion,”
he said. “It hasn’t always been
easy, it’s been a hard road and
there have been plenty of injuries
but hopefully this isn’t my only
world title.
“To come home as a world
champion is simply amazing.”
Macdonald competed in the
championship two years ago as a

rookie and impressed in finishing
second which saw him sign a
one year deal with Sherco Racing
for 2019.
Macdonald repaid that faith
and has now set himself up for
plenty more opportunities in the
near future.
“In the off-season, I just
trained by myself and because
I was mostly on my own it was
hard to figure out if I was going
fast enough to be a genuine contender
but it all worked out.”
Macdonald has the interesting
distinction of winning a world title
before claiming a national title.
He said of suffering a broken
scapula in his shoulder and his
clavicle in May: “It knocks your
confidence when you’ve been
riding so well. I was off the bike
for over a month and you’d be
surprised how much your fitness
drops away.
“Round five when I got back,
it was tough, I struggled my arse
off that day.”
Macdonald credited his family
for their unwavering support and
always believing in his dream.
He said to have so many
friends and family there in
France with him when he won
made it all the more special even
if the celebratory champagne did
sting his eyes.

which were defeated by Akarana
in the national premiership final
over the weekend.
The former Keas and Bulls
player admits he considered stepping
down 12 months ago, but
was convinced to come back for
another campaign by senior players.
He says stepping down will
allow him to seek other national
and representative level positions.
“It’s time to have crack at
some of those other jobs now.
Stepping away from club footy
frees up a bit of time,” he said.
This week Auimatagi was
named the New Zealand
Residents coach for their
upcoming match against
England Community Lions on
November 1 in Auckland.
TRY-SCORING machine
Josh McKay took home the
big honour at last night’s
Canterbury Rugby Awards at
Rydges Latimer.
THe outside back was
deservedly named the
supporters club player of the
year.
McKay is currently the top
try-scorer in the Mitre 10 Cup
with nine. He also leads the
competition in metres carried.
Meanwhile, Canterbury lock
Chelsea Bremner was named
the women’s player of the year.
A number of up-and-coming
stars were also recognised,
including Sam Darry who was
named under-19 player of the
year.
Darry was part of the High
School Old Boys side which won
the metro premiership.
He was also a key cog in
Canterbury’s under-19 national
title-winning side. Off the
pitch, Hornby president John
Catchpole was named volunteer
of the year.
CRFU chief executive Tony
Smail said the evening not only
celebrated the teams in red and
black, but also the hundreds
of volunteers, administrators,
coaches and players who help
rugby to thrive in the province.
“We have a lot to be proud
of here in Canterbury, and
our 2019 awards evening was
testament to the growth in our
game this season,” said Smail.
“We acknowledged what has
been a successful season to
date, but we did so knowing
that the year is far from over
for some of our teams and we
took the opportunity to wish
those teams the best of luck
for the remainder of their 2019
campaigns.”
As well as the formal awards

SATURDAY’S win over

chance of accomplishing

If Canterbury can win
their next three games, they
will finish the year with the

Canterbury on verge of dominance
September and the women’s
side are currently undefeated in
their quest to win back-to-back
Farah Palmer Cup titles.
Combine this with the
Crusaders – albeit a different
organisation from the CRFU –
Super Rugby title, and it’s easy
to see something special is on
the line.
With Tasman seemingly
clear favourites in the Mitre
10 Cup, it’s still a long-shot,
but this season still has the
potential to be a very special
one for rugby in Canterbury.

Injury forces
defending
champ out
of Canty Open
• By Gordon Findlater
AN ABDOMINAL tear will
prevent young tennis star
Reece Falck from defending his
Canterbury Open title at Wilding
Park this weekend.
On Tuesday Falck was eliminated
during the first round of the
junior ITF Garden City Championships.
He was the tournament’s
second seed, but struggled with
pain during his 5-7, 4-6 loss to
James Sim. The same injury
forced Falck to pull out of the junior
ITF tournament in Auckland a
week earlier after advancing to the
semi-finals. However, he made the
decision to play through the pain
this week, in spite of his physio’s
recommendation to rest for two
weeks.
Last year Falck became the
youngest ever winner of the open,
which was first played in 1901 and
has included some of the biggest
names in New Zealand tennis,
such as Onny Parun, Brian Fairlie,
Alistair Hunt, David Lewis
and Mark Nielson.
This year, the open doubles as
one of Tennis New Zealand’s new
$6000 Kiwi Money Tournaments.
The men’s and women’s singles
champions will win $1400, while
beaten finalists will leave with
$600.
Falck’s decision to pull out
will see last year’s runner-up
Remi Feneon and Connor Heap
become the two local favourites.
Qualifying begins tomorrow and
the main draw starts on Saturday.
Rugby entering ‘dangerous territory’ over head contact
RUGBY IS entering very
dangerous territory by rewarding
ball carriers or tacklers
for putting themselves in
compromising positions.
The Rugby World Cup has
very quickly become known
as the first tournament to put
emphasis on the TV match official
becoming overly involved
at every opportunity. One thing
that needs to be realised is in the
past four years, the TMO has
made the biggest leap in terms
of development over any other
aspect of rugby.
Long gone are the days of the
only TMO involvement being
around ball grounding on a try
decision – but is it a good thing?
The 2015 World Cup in England
was the first major tournament
to include the ‘Hawk-Eye’
system, allowing the TMO to
live rewind play and watch any
camera slowed down while play
continued. Since then, TMOs
have perfected the craft, and
four years on, are now showing
they’re not afraid to jump in for
any contact to the head.
With more angles available
and without disrupting the
broadcast, more incidents are
going to be – and are being –
spotted. Before this, the TMO
would only have access to the
same footage you and I would
see at home. Next week the
One-eyed Cantab
Gordon Findlater
gordon.findlater@starmedia.kiwi
real nail-bitters arrive as the
knockout stage start, and the
way the World Cup has gone to
date, you can bank on a team
being reduced to 14 men due to
someone from the opposition
putting themselves in a dangerous
position.
I hope I’m wrong, but unless
defensive coaches manage to
implement a tackling technique
that allows players to magically
disappear when a ball carrying
player’s head drops 30cm just
before contact, then we’re going
to be faced with the prospect of
one of the biggest games of the
tournament not being played at
full strength for its entirety.
So what do we do? No one
wants to see another moment like
Australian centre Samu Kerevi
being binned for protecting the
ball with his arms when running
into contact with Welsh first-five
Rhys Patchell who displayed a
tackling technique which would
be heavily scrutinised at schoolboy
level. How good would it be
if the two captains took onus and
talked the referee into letting 30
men remain on the park over
something so trivial. The best
course of action going forward is
to adopt what the NRL do. Their
referees might not know the
|difference between a fresh set
and last tackle sometimes, but
putting someone on report rather
than an instant punishment is
the answer. If it hasn’t made an
impact on a scoring opportunity
and isn’t blatant foul play, let the
game remain at full strength and
hand punishments
out later.

believe again?

Gamble gets Super
Rugby contract
Former St Bede’s College

signed a one-year contract
with the Waratahs. The former

played in the New South Wales

2018 and this year dominated
in the Shute Shield – Sydney’s
premier competition. He
has also performed well for
Sydney in the National Rugby
Championship. In 2015
Gamble won the player of the
tournament award at the under
19 national tournament with
Canterbury. The Waratahs are
coached by former Canterbury
coach Rob Penney.
YOUNG Christchurch karting
star Louis Sharpe is in good
form heading into the ROK Cup
International final in Italy this
weekend.
The 12-year-old made a
positive start to his first time
competing in Europe at the
weekend.
Sharp won the B final at the
29th Autumn Trophy held at
the South Garda track near
Lonato, east of Milan – the same
destination as this weekend’s
ROK Cup.
After qualifying 17 out of 102
HEATHCOTE celebrated in
style after a historic first ever
win in the Metro Premiership
at the weekend when they upset
Sydenham in a rain-reduced
match at Hagley Oval.
The win was the club’s first
in the top grade after winning
promotion from the Metro
Championship last season. Following
the win they returned to
their clubrooms in the evening
for a dress-up party.
The theme for the team was
anything British. However, as
part of initiation to the club, the
team’s imports sported somewhat
skimpy dresses. The team were
in great spirits and celebrations
following the historic win didn’t
finish until nearly 4am
Earlier in the day a drizzly
start meant just two of the four
premiership matches were able to
be completed. Heathcote and St
Albans were able to secure a full
10 points, while Burnside West
University, East Christchurch
Shirley, Old Boys Collegians and
Lancaster Park all had to settle
for five points for abandoned
matches.
New boys Heathcote admit at
the start of the day they would
have been happy to settle for five
points.
“We buggered off to a coffee
shop, then went back and it still
wasn’t decided so we went for
another coffee,” said injured
Heathcote bowler Ben Cochrane
who instead opted for a pint due
to not playing.
“Sydenham hung around the
whole time and got the hessian
[cover] out and kept on trying to
dry the pitch.”
Play eventually got under way
mid-afternoon and the match
reduced to 22 overs a piece. Batting
first Heathcote got off to a
bright start through opener Matt
House who scored a quick fire
31 from 20 deliveries. English
all-rounder James Hunt also put
together a handy 29 as Heathcote
got through to 131/7.
Sydenham made a bright start
in their chase and looked favourites
at 88/3 in the 15th over.
However, Nicolaj Damgaard and
Jordan Horrell ripped through
Sydenham’s middle order with
three wickets each and struck
enough of a blow to the run chase
to Sydenham 129/7 – giving
Heathcote a four-run victory.
Elsewhere a 69-run stand
between Amandeep Arora and
Matt Laffey wasn’t enough to
help Riccarton chase down St
Albans total of 130.
In the Championship there
were wins for Lancaster Park,
Old Boys Collegians – who
defeated a Marist Harewood side
including Black Cap Matt Henry
– and Burnside West University.
Meanwhile, the match between
Riccarton and Sumner was
abandoned.

Rebounding from past reminders
The Silver Ferns open
the next chapter in their
battle with Australia
when the Constellation
Cup begins at Horncastle
Arena on Sunday.
The Star continues its
Canterbury sporting icons
series with a look at a
player who was under
the spotlight in arguably
the biggest moment of
the two teams rivalry.
Sports reporter Gordon
Findlater spoke with
Donna Wilkins
ALMOST 20 years on from a
crucial missed shot in the final
minute of the 1999 World Cup
final in Christchurch, Donna
Wilkins (nee) Loffhagen still
faces constant reminders of the
moment.
“Oh people still go on about
it,” said Wilkins.
“It was all my fault and I
should have got it in, but nobody
looks to what happened in the
semi-final and if I hadn’t of shot
so well we wouldn’t have been
in the final, but unfortunately
when you lose in netball it’s usually
on the shooters shoulders
and it’s about dealing with those
moments and being able to pick
yourself up and go out there
the next week and do the same
thing.”
Defining Wilkins’ career in
one moment is far too unfair
though. Wilkins wasn’t just
a 56-cap Silver Fern, she also
played close to 100 games for the
Tall Ferns and came agonisingly
close to becoming just the second
Kiwi to crack the WNBA.
Growing up in Woodend
Wilkins began basketball and
netball from a young age. While
at Rangiora High School she
made the Canterbury women’s
basketball side at just 14. She was
also still a teenager when she
made Canterbury’s NPC netball
side. At 17 she made the Fall
Ferns and a year later was in the
Silver Ferns. Starting her international
career at such a young
age it’s easy to forget she was just
21 at the 1999 World Cup.
After three campaigns with
Canterbury Wilkins made a
move to Southland in 1998
which would prove successful.
From 1998 until their final season
in 2007 before merging with
the Otago Rebels they played in
10 straight finals and won seven
national championships.
Bernice Mene was playing for
the Southland team so I came
down and played with her. It
was just for three months . . . one
year turned into two, three, four
and then I was here for 10 years.
Now I’m still here,” said Wilkins.
“It was a pretty surreal experience.
I don’t think many sporting
teams have achieved what
we achieved . . . it was a great
environment to be a part of. I
think we only had 43 players that
played over that period.”
Wilkins went onto play for
the Southern Steel in the transtasman
league before later stints
with the Mainland Tactix and
Central Pulse.
At international level Wilkins
won silver medals at both the
1998 Kuala Lumper and 2002
Manchester Commonwealth
Games – being narrowly pipped
by Australia on both occasions.
She also won a basketball silver
medal at the 2006 Melbourne
Commonwealth Games with the
Tall Ferns.
However, arguably Wilkins
finest moment for the Tall Ferns
came at the 2004 Olympic
Games in Athens.
“That was probably the
highlight. I had a pretty good
tournament and we beat China
to get through to the top eight
which was unheard of for New
Zealand,” said Wilkins.
At the 2004 games Wilkins
was the tournament’s top
rebounder, averaging 10.6 rebounds
per game.
“I always liked to get in there
and give it a go with those tall
timbers,” she said.
Her displays in Athens no
doubt played a part in her coming
within a whisker of playing
in the WNBA.
In 2006 Wilkins was given a
trial which lasted six weeks with
the Connecticut Sun. She came
close to making their final roster
for the season. At the time the
Sun were regarded as one of the
top teams in the league after
making the WNBA finals in
2005.
“Every day they’re cutting
players. If you get cut early you
can usually go to another team
and trial there. They kept me
right up until the day before
the first game and then but me
which meant I couldn’t trial with
another team,” she said.
“That was pretty devastating
because I believe if I had of gone
to another team I could have
been playing and who knows
how your life shapes if that had
of been the case.”
HIGHS AND LOWS: Donna
Wilkins experienced three
close loses to Australia in
major tournament finals
with the Silver Ferns,
including an overtime
thriller at the 2002
Manchester Commonwealth
Games. (Above) – In 2004
she was the top rebounder
at the Athens Olympics
playing for the Tall Ferns.
She had success playing in
the Australian women’s
basketball league with Canberra
and was a key part of the team
which won the 2006/2007
championship. The following
season Wilkins played for the
Christchurch Sirens who spent
one year in the league before
folding due to being financially
unviable.
These days Wilkins lives of a
farm near Balfour 35 minutes
north-west of Gore with husband
Mike Wilkins and their three
children. She coaches a school
netball and basketball team. She
also coaches the Southland men’s
netball team. The team won the
B grade section at the New Zealand
men’s national tournament
in Wellington.
“We’re pretty much in the
middle of nowhere. It’s a nice
little community. There’s like 100
kids at the local school,” she said.
“I spend every other moment
driving in the car taking my
three kids to whatever sporting
engagement they have every
day.”
Wilkins will be in
Christchurch this weekend to
watch the Silver Ferns match
against Australia.

When selecting a building site weigh up your lifestyle, family
needs and aspirations before signing up for any section.
Those purchasing early on in the
development of a subdivision will
have more choice of section size and
orientation to the street and sun. As
the individual sites are sold, there may
be less availability though this need
not be a deterrent. With good design
any building site can be made to work.
The size of the house and amount
of yard desired will influence the
feasibility of some building sites as
will sun and wind direction, bearing
in mind that a house can be designed
to capture the sun’s free heat and allow
for pleasant outdoor areas to enjoy.
If the street side of the building site
is north/north west, incorporating
fenced or planted courtyards can offer
private places to entertain and bask in
the sun.
Those wanting street presence
or keen on gardening may prefer a
corner section and while it might seem
they offer less privacy, with strategic
placement of fences quite the opposite
can be the case.
Weigh up your family’s needs in
terms of the outdoor areas too. Do you
want play areas for your children? Do
you have a need for off-street parking
for a number of vehicles and space for
a boat, caravan or motorhome, which
may need to be parked out of site of
the street? How much lawn or garden
do you want?
Start by identifying housing
developments that you like and could
see your family living in. Think also
about the convenience of shops and
other amenities, something that may
or may not be a concern.
Single out possible sections then
talk with a designer or builder. Most
building companies have a good
selection of standard plans as a starting
point and they will usually work with
a client to modify a plan or draw up
one that will work on a particular
building site, whilst also containing
the components the client is seeking
within their new home.
Before signing up for any building
site, check the Council land zoning
and recession plane requirements as
well as covenants for the sub-division.
These will show not only how far from
a boundary the house can be sited but
also roof height, permissible building
materials, and acceptable types of
fencing, as well as what can be on
view from the street like a clothes line,
caravan or motorhome. Conducting
your research first will save any
frustration or hassles later.
All sections are workable, it is simply
a matter of choosing one that matches
your specific needs.
