Jack Penniket open New Zealand’s first dog cafe in Christchurch next year.<br />

A CAFE WITH dogs on the<br />
menu could send some people<br />
barking up the wrong tree.<br />
But two Christchurch doglovers,<br />
Jack Penniket and Ally<br />
Mullord, believe it will help raise<br />
awareness about New Zealand’s<br />
low dog adoption figures, which<br />
sit at about 12 per cent.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are set to open <strong>The</strong><br />
Barkery in Christchurch<br />
next year, which will be New<br />
Zealand’s first cafe space in<br />
which customers can spend<br />
time with rescue dogs that are<br />
available for adoption.<br />

Victim not<br />
told her<br />
attacker<br />
was on<br />
the run<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
POLICE HAVE said it was an<br />
“oversight” that a victim wasn’t<br />
alerted until a week after her<br />
alleged rapist went on the run.<br />
James Arthur Brown, 53,<br />
absconded from the Salisbury<br />
Street Foundation in Merivale late<br />
last month.<br />
Police have issued a warrant for<br />
his arrest and warned the public<br />
to not approach him.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> understands Brown cut<br />
off his electronically monitored<br />
bracelet.<br />
He is expected<br />
to face trial in<br />
less than two<br />
months on<br />
charges of rape,<br />
assault with<br />
intent to injure,<br />
threatening to<br />
kill and four<br />
charges of<br />
unlawful sexual<br />
connection for<br />
James<br />
Brown<br />
alleged events that took place last<br />
year.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> understands<br />
the alleged victim was not<br />
immediately told by police Brown<br />
had breached bail by removing<br />
his EM bracelet and leaving the<br />
address he was staying at, as the<br />
officer in charge was on leave.<br />

A MEMORIAL five-a-side<br />
football tournament will be held<br />
to commemorate one of the<br />
victims of the March 15 mosque<br />
shootings.<br />
FC<br />
Twenty11<br />
will hold the<br />
Tariq Omar<br />
Memorial<br />
Cup, with<br />
the hopes of<br />
making it an<br />
annual event.<br />
Mr Omar<br />
was a former<br />
player for<br />
the club and died following the<br />
March 15 terrorist attacks where<br />
a gunman opened fire on the<br />
Linwood Islamic Centre and Al<br />
Noor Mosque, killing 51 people.<br />
<strong>The</strong> five-a-side football<br />
tournament will be held on<br />
November 2 at Avonhead Park.<br />
Event organiser Ollie Hawkins<br />
said the proceeds made from the<br />
tournament would go towards<br />
the Victim Support fund and Mr<br />
Omar’s family.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> immediate reason we<br />
wanted to do this was because<br />
Tariq was a member of our club<br />
and the club felt directly affected<br />
because of the tragedies that<br />
happened, and six months on<br />
nothing really has happened<br />
and we felt that we owed it to<br />
ourselves and to Tariq to organise<br />
something,” he said.<br />
Mr Hawkins said he planned<br />
on running the event every year.<br />
“We hope to make it as big as<br />
possible and leave a legacy for<br />
Tariq because he had a major<br />
impact on the Christchurch<br />
football community.”<br />

Twenty11 Mr Omar also coached<br />

It’s driver, 64-year-old Kenneth<br />

relation to the incident.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 17-year-old driver was<br />
REMEMBERED: Tariq Omar was a well-known figure in<br />
the footballing community as a coach for Christchurch<br />
United teams and as a player for FC Twenty11.<br />
the under nine and under 15<br />
teams for Christchurch United.<br />
He attended Cashmere<br />
High School before getting a<br />
bachelor of science in geology at<br />
Canterbury University, where he<br />
graduated in 2016.<br />
expected to be discharged from<br />
hospital yesterday afternoon.<br />
<strong>The</strong> four passengers of the<br />
fleeing vehicle, all aged in their<br />
teens, remain in a moderate<br />
condition in hospital.<br />
<strong>The</strong> impact of the crash<br />
shunted Mr McCaul’s car into<br />
a stone wall. He sustained critical<br />
injuries and was taken to<br />
Christchurch Hospital, but died<br />
shortly after.<br />
His was the fifth death<br />
relating to police pursuits in<br />
Christchurch this year.<br />
Superintendent Todd said the<br />
officers involved were receiving<br />
support.<br />
Hundreds of people attended<br />
his joint funeral with 14-year-old<br />
fellow Cashmere High School<br />
student Sayyad Ahmad Milne at<br />
Memorial Park Cemetery.<br />
Mr Omar was the second<br />
oldest out of his four siblings.<br />
Mr Hawkins described him as<br />
a “down to earth guy.”<br />
“If he made a mistake when<br />
he was playing football he would<br />
just embrace it and we would all<br />
have a laugh about it, he was just<br />
one of those types of people, a<br />
really nice humble guy.”<br />

Candle, fertilisers<br />
cause fires<br />
A candle in an inappropriate<br />
holder sitting on a washing<br />
machine started a fire which<br />
caused extensive damage to a<br />
Sumner home yesterday. Five<br />
crews battled the blaze at the<br />
home near St Leonards Square at<br />
about 10.35am for more than an<br />
90min. No one was injured in the<br />
blaze Fire and Emergency New<br />
Zealand fire investigator Wayne<br />
Hamilton said. <strong>The</strong> occupants<br />
had a lucky escape as the two<br />
smoke alarms in the home<br />
weren’t activated. Mr Hamilton<br />
said the fire is a timely reminder<br />
to ensure smoke alarms are<br />
working and that candles are in<br />
appropriate holders. Meanwhile,<br />
A fire that completely destroyed<br />
a storage shed at Harewood<br />
Golf Club was caused by a pile<br />
of fertiliser. Fire crews were<br />
called to the blaze just after 8am<br />
yesterday. Fire and Emergency<br />
New Zealand fire investigator<br />
Jason Hobbs said the fertiliser<br />
was contaminated and selfignited.<br />

A bring-your-own-dog service<br />
will also be on offer for pet<br />
owners.<br />
Coupled with two rescue<br />
organisations, Dogwatch<br />
Sanctuary and Christchurch<br />
Bull Breed Rescue, <strong>The</strong> Barkery<br />
aims to create a space away<br />
from adoption shelters, which<br />
can often have “doggy-jail<br />
connotations,” Mr Penniket said.<br />
“Visiting a shelter can be<br />
intimidating, it does have this<br />
doggy jail connotation. That is a<br />
barrier for people because they<br />
feel guilty and feel like they have<br />
to leave with all the dogs.”<br />
A location for the cafe is yet<br />
to be decided, Mr Penniket said,<br />
as they work through “complex<br />
territory” to get the project<br />
under way.<br />
“Design and user experience<br />
is a massive body of work, also<br />
with building resource consents.<br />
We are on the lookout (for a<br />
location) but are not going to<br />
rush into anything,” he said.<br />
A strict vetting process will<br />
be undertaken by the rescue<br />
organisations to ensure the<br />
dogs are suitable to be in the<br />
environment.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> nature of rescue dogs and<br />
dogs that struggle to get adopted<br />
is that they are a little bit socially<br />
uneasy,” Mr Penniket said<br />
<strong>The</strong> dogs will require a good<br />
social attitude and temperament,<br />
as well as experience socialising<br />
with humans.<br />
A similar cafe exists on<br />
Colombo St. <strong>The</strong> Catnap Cafe<br />
revolves around adopting cats.<br />
“It was incredible talking to<br />
them about their learnings and<br />
journey, they have done a lot<br />
we are able to model on,” Mr<br />
Penniket said.<br />

Detective Senior Sergeant<br />
Scott Anderson confirmed the<br />
delay in alerting the victim.<br />
“This instance of delay in<br />
informing the victim was<br />
unfortunately as a result of<br />
some oversight from the officer<br />
in charge,” Detective Senior<br />
Sergeant Anderson said.<br />
“Corrections immediately<br />

advising of such and instant intel<br />

OUSTED CITY councillor<br />
Deon Swiggs has labelled the city<br />
council’s handling of allegations<br />
of misconduct against him as a<br />
“farce.”<br />
Mr Swiggs lost his Central<br />
Ward city council seat in the<br />
local body elections following allegations<br />
he<br />
sent “grossly<br />
inappropriate”<br />
messages<br />
to young<br />
people.<br />
He has<br />
denied any<br />
misconduct,<br />
which<br />
came to the<br />
attention of<br />
media when<br />
voting packs<br />
arrived in<br />
mailboxes last month.<br />
Mr Swiggs said he has “no<br />
idea” as to whether the city<br />
council will be continuing with<br />
the code of conduct investigation<br />
against him.<br />
New city council chief executive<br />
Dawn Baxendale<br />
said there is a number of matters<br />
the city council needs to deal<br />
with after the elections before<br />
making a decision on the investigation.<br />
“We will advise you if and<br />
when we are in a position to<br />
make any statement regarding<br />
the code of conduct process with<br />

the city council’s handling of the allegations against him<br />

democracy,” Mr Swiggs said.<br />
He said it has “become<br />
increasingly clear the leak of<br />
the complaint to the media was<br />
politically motivated.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> damage this complaint<br />
did to my campaign is reflected<br />
in the ballot box result,” Mr<br />
Swiggs said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> least the council could do<br />
now is give me some direction<br />
regarding their plans.”<br />
Mr Swiggs lost his seat to <strong>The</strong><br />
People’s Choice candidate Jake<br />
McLellan by 1078 votes.<br />
He also labelled the code of<br />
conduct process as “not fit for<br />
purpose.”<br />
City council general manager<br />
of citizens and community<br />
Mary Richardson said it has<br />
not received any complaints<br />
of political interference in the<br />
elections.<br />
She said a review of the code<br />

Councillors set to<br />

ECan chair today<br />

chair today.<br />
In the newly-elected regional<br />
council’s first meeting, councillors<br />
are due to vote for who they want to<br />
lead them over the next three years.<br />
<strong>The</strong> role of chair pays $180,000<br />
per year.<br />
Last term’s chairman Steve<br />
Lowndes did not run for reelection.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new ECan table has<br />
seven women and seven men after<br />
what was the first fully democratic<br />
election since 2010, when the then<br />
National Government sacked the<br />
elected councillors and appointed<br />
government commissioners in<br />
their place. <strong>The</strong> commissioners<br />
were at the helm until 2016, when<br />
partial democracy was returned.<br />

THE NEWLY-elected council<br />
could become polarised across<br />
party lines, says a political<br />
commentator.<br />
Political scientist Bronwyn<br />
Hayward said a heightened<br />
presence of two political parties<br />
around the city council table<br />
could lead to a<br />
divide.<br />
Left-leaning<br />
and Labour<br />
aligned political<br />
group<br />
<strong>The</strong> People’s<br />
Bronwyn<br />
Hayward<br />
Choice managed<br />
to keep<br />
seven councillors<br />
around the<br />
table following the elections in<br />
spite of losing Glenn Livingstone,<br />
who lost out in the Burwood<br />
Ward to Phil Mauger, and Phil<br />
Clearwater who stepped down<br />
from the Spreydon Ward.<br />
Newly-elected councillors Jake<br />
McLellan and Melanie Coker join<br />
incumbent People’s Choice councillors<br />
Andrew Turner, Anne<br />
Galloway, Pauline Cotter, Yani<br />
Johanson and Jimmy Chen.<br />
However, they face increased<br />
competition from right-leaning<br />
political group Independent Citizens<br />
which has gone from having<br />
one seat to three. Newly-elected<br />
councillors Sam MacDonald and<br />
Catherine Chu will join fourthterm<br />
city councillor James Gough.<br />
“I think that there is a risk that<br />
decision-making could become<br />
polarised along party lines, and<br />
that would be a real shame,” Dr<br />
Hayward said.<br />
“With a heightened presence<br />
of two teams there is always a<br />
chance that they [city councillors]<br />
will become a little more<br />
polarised, and that would be a<br />
real shame.”<br />
She thought asset sales could<br />
become a contentious issue between<br />
the two parties.<br />
<strong>The</strong> People’s Choice has a firm<br />
policy against the sale of any<br />
city-own assets. Last year they<br />
block voted against a proposal to<br />
revalue the city’s assets.<br />
Whereas Independent Citizens<br />
want to evaluate the city’s assets<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
Warning council could<br />
become polarised<br />
in order to see if it makes financial<br />
sense selling them.<br />
<strong>The</strong> People’s Choice chairman<br />
Keir Leslie thought the “numbers<br />
did not add up” when it came to<br />
selling assets.<br />
“It will be interesting to see if<br />
they [Independent Citizens] can<br />
come up with a realistic proposal.<br />
“We hope that we can work<br />
to move the city forward and<br />
not get hung up on this divisive<br />
and frankly not going anywhere<br />
sideshow,” he said.<br />
Independent Citizens councillor<br />
James Gough labelled <strong>The</strong><br />
People’s Choice stance as “ideological.”<br />
“I don’t think any of us will<br />
be pushing for asset sales, but<br />
I think Independent Citizens<br />
candidates will be pushing for<br />
evidence-based decision-making<br />
and that would include a review<br />
of assets,” he said.<br />
SIX MONGREL Mob members<br />
have pleaded guilty to a sevenon-one<br />
prison yard attack that<br />
left an inmate with a broken<br />
jaw.<br />
<strong>The</strong> incident at Christchurch<br />
Men’s Prison in June resulted in<br />
the victim, who was not a gang<br />
member, needing surgery to<br />
repair his jaw.<br />
Five of the offenders pleaded<br />
guilty to charges of assault<br />
with intent to injure in the<br />

admitted assault charges, Stuff<br />

Those pleading guilty to<br />
assault with intent to injure<br />

Firefighters attend more medical calls<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
IN THE past seven years, the<br />
average number of medical calls<br />
attended by Christchurch fire<br />
stations annually has risen from<br />
12 to 61.<br />
<strong>The</strong> medical calls, also known<br />
as ‘purple calls’ include any<br />
emergency situation that may be<br />
life-threatening. This could include<br />
suicides, cot-deaths, heart<br />
attacks, strokes, and cardiac<br />
arrests.<br />
It follows a Memorandum of<br />
Understanding signed by FENZ<br />
and St John<br />
in 2014, who<br />
co-ordinate to<br />
ensure faster<br />
responses to<br />
emergencies<br />
and better<br />
outcomes for<br />
patients.<br />
Wattie Watson<br />
But now,<br />
firefighters<br />
face the potential of responding<br />
to even more medical calls, including<br />
not just ‘purple calls.’<br />
A new agreement currently being<br />
drafted includes a clause that<br />
states: ‘Other incidents by exception’<br />
which has the New Zealand<br />
Professional Firefighters Union<br />
concerned they will also be called<br />
to less serious medical calls.<br />
<strong>The</strong> union’s president, Ian<br />
Wright, said at times firefighters<br />
are responding to births.<br />
Out of the eight city fire stations,<br />
not including the volunteer<br />
stations, Christchurch City Station<br />
has responded to the most<br />
medical calls this year, 103 so far.<br />
Wigram was the second highest<br />
with 81 medical calls so far<br />
this year, which is looking to<br />
surpass its 2018 figure of 113<br />
medical calls.<br />
Back in 2012, the station only<br />
responded to <strong>24</strong> calls of this type<br />
all year.<br />
Spreydon station was the third<br />
highest with 75 medical calls this<br />
year so far. Last year it had 87 in<br />
total.<br />
In 2012, it only responded to 12<br />
all year.<br />
Since the 2014 MOU was<br />
signed, the survival rate for cardiac<br />
arrests has increased from<br />
12 per cent to 18 per cent.<br />
“In some parts of the country,<br />
the nearest fire station is a lot<br />
closer than the nearest ambulance,”<br />
FENZ spokeswoman<br />
Louise Robinson said.<br />
But it’s not all positive.<br />
Last month, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> reported<br />
increased medical calls attended<br />
by firefighters were having a major<br />
impact on their mental health.<br />
<strong>The</strong> union says it has reached a<br />
“crisis point.”<br />
By 2018, about 10 firefighters<br />
in New Zealand had committed<br />
suicide.<br />
TAKING<br />
A TOLL:<br />
Firefighters in<br />
Christchurch<br />
are dealing<br />
with more<br />
than four<br />
times the<br />
amount of<br />
medical calls<br />
they once<br />
were and the<br />
numbers are<br />
continuing to<br />
rise.<br />
FENZ provides a range of mental<br />
and psychological services to<br />
its staff, including counselling,<br />
workshops, professional psychologists,<br />
peer supporters, dedicated<br />
safety, health and well-being<br />
advisers, a health monitoring<br />
programme, psychological first<br />
aid resources, chaplaincy and<br />
Maori-based support services.<br />
But, New Zealand Professional<br />
Firefighters Union general<br />
secretary Wattie Watson and<br />
Christchurch-based firefighter<br />
Gary Duncan say staff need<br />
better mental and emotional<br />
training before they reach a point<br />
where they need to seek help.<br />
When the 2014 MOU was<br />
BY THE NUMBERS<br />
Total number of medical<br />
calls answered by<br />
Canterbury fire stations:<br />
2012: 181<br />
2013: 234<br />
2014: 589<br />
2015: 563<br />
2016: 780<br />
2017: 718<br />
2018: 758<br />
<strong>2019</strong> (up until <strong>October</strong> 4):<br />
570<br />
signed, no extra training for<br />
emotional trauma was provided.<br />
Said Ms Watson: “<strong>The</strong>re is<br />
an issue around the training of<br />
medical response, it’s not good<br />
enough. It should have always<br />
been coupled with mental health<br />
resilience and it wasn’t, and that’s<br />
a learning curve for everyone.”<br />
Said Mr Duncan: “We got an<br />
email about the memorandum<br />
of understanding, but we<br />
called it the memorandum of<br />
misunderstanding. Next minute<br />
we were getting all these calls<br />
to medicals and we were going:<br />
‘Hang on, we haven’t had any<br />
extra training, we want extra<br />
training’.”<br />
It comes after the Office of<br />
the Chief Coroner revealed in<br />
August that suicides have risen<br />
by 42 per cent in the region, since<br />
2007-2008.

Police worried about home detention<br />
Sentence fails<br />
to ‘protect<br />
victims’<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
A HOME detention sentence for<br />
a man who kidnapped, robbed<br />
and assaulted his victim is<br />
making the police’s job harder, a<br />
detective says.<br />
<strong>The</strong> victim of the prolonged<br />
kidnapping is also disappointed<br />
with his attacker’s six-month<br />
home detention sentence.<br />
Aggravated robbery and<br />
kidnapping charges both carry<br />
maximum sentences of 14 years<br />
in prison.<br />
Ihaia Morgan, 22, was<br />
sentenced in the district court<br />
on <strong>October</strong> 2, for the attack in<br />
December.<br />
His alleged co-offender and<br />
brother, Mikaira Douglas<br />
Morgan, is on the run after being<br />
arrested and charged for the<br />
incident, but then released on<br />
electronically monitored bail,<br />
which he breached in May.<br />
A warrant for this arrest was<br />
issued by police in June. He is yet<br />
to be located.<br />
Detective Sergeant Daniel<br />
Isherwood said sentences like<br />
this “certainly make police’s job<br />
SENTENCED:<br />
Mikaira Douglas<br />
Morgan is<br />
serving a<br />
sentence of<br />
home detention<br />
with an<br />
electronically<br />
monitored<br />
bracelet after<br />
he kidnapped,<br />
robbed and<br />
assaulted his<br />
victim.<br />
harder. “In this case, we<br />
have a victim who was held<br />
against his will for a prolonged<br />
period of time, during which<br />
he was assaulted, had his<br />
hands bound and was forced to<br />
withdraw money. Police work<br />
hard to support victims in<br />
bringing these sorts of cases to<br />
court, often in the face of gang<br />
intimidation.”<br />
“It certainly makes our job a<br />
little harder, convincing victims<br />
to work with us,” he said.<br />
In February, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> reported<br />
the 45-year-old male victim was<br />
beaten and robbed of his car,<br />
cellphone and wallet after he<br />
picked up two 17-year-olds from<br />
a Woolston address. He had met<br />
one of them online.<br />
<strong>The</strong> tactic known as ‘honeytrapping’<br />
often sees gangs and<br />
their associates using women<br />
and the internet to lure in<br />
unsuspecting men, who are then<br />
kidnapped, beaten and robbed.<br />
After driving for a short time,<br />
the teenagers asked him to<br />
pull over so they could have a<br />
cigarette.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n two men associated with<br />
the Tribesmen gang allegedly<br />
pulled up behind them in a<br />
vehicle and assaulted the victim,<br />
before getting in the car and<br />
locking him inside using the<br />
‘kiddie-lock.’<br />
One of the men, Ihaia, punched<br />
the victim in the eye socket, stole<br />
his wallet and phone, then forced<br />
him to sit on his hands and told<br />
him: “If you try and run, we’ll<br />
stab you.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> victim was then driven to<br />
various locations around the city<br />
before eventually being driven to<br />
his home, where Ihaia bound his<br />
wrists with duct tape.<br />
A Holden vehicle was then<br />
stolen from the property.<br />
<strong>The</strong> victim was then driven<br />
back to the original location<br />
where he was assaulted before<br />
being allowed to return home in<br />
one of the vehicles.<br />
He was told he owed the men<br />
$5000.<br />
Sensible Sentencing Trust<br />
spokeswoman Jess McVicar said<br />
the sentence will now result in<br />
the victim living in fear.<br />
“This is an issue for victims.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y feel as if there was no point<br />
in coming forward, and now<br />
many are not. <strong>The</strong> judges and<br />
justice system are not in any way<br />
taking the victim into account,”<br />
she said.<br />
“Can we honestly believe this<br />
is acceptable to do this to the<br />
victims who manage to have the<br />
courage to speak up?<br />
“Our system is meant<br />
to protect victims and the<br />
community. It, unfortunately, is<br />
doing the complete opposite.”<br />

Evidence for quarry hearings released<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-<br />
Harding<br />
EXPERT evidence supporting<br />
submitters’ views on the<br />
hotly-debated plan to open a<br />
quarry near Templeton has been<br />
released ahead of next month’s<br />
hearings.<br />
Environment Canterbury<br />
has published 27 reports<br />
from some of the individuals,<br />
businesses and community<br />
groups set<br />
to present<br />
evidence for<br />
and against<br />
the proposed<br />
quarry.<br />
Evidence<br />
has been<br />
provided by<br />
submitters<br />
Jolene Eagar<br />
including the<br />
city council,<br />
Christchurch<br />
Airport, New Zealand Transport<br />
Agency, Templeton Residents’<br />
Association and Yaldhurst Rural<br />
Residents’ Association.<br />
<strong>The</strong> hearings on Fulton<br />
Hogan’s application to<br />
open a quarry on Dawsons,<br />
Jones, Maddisons and<br />
Curraghs Rd will start on<br />
November 18.<br />
Evidence has been released<br />
from groups in support of<br />
the quarry, including Aggregate<br />
and Quarry Association of<br />
New Zealand and Allied<br />
Concrete.<br />
Templeton Residents’<br />
Association treasurer Jolene<br />
Eagar is due to speak at the<br />
hearings on behalf of the<br />
association’s ‘no quarry subcommittee’.<br />
<strong>The</strong> committee’s<br />
evidence says if the quarry<br />
application is approved, it will set<br />
a “dangerous” precedent for the<br />
future.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> TRA received a very<br />
strong message from residents<br />
and businesses of Templeton and<br />
its surrounding area, they were<br />
here first and they have worked<br />
hard to build happy, peaceful<br />
lives. <strong>The</strong>y do not want the proposed<br />
quarry.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> committee’s evidence<br />
highlighted several concerns,<br />
including the quarry’s potential<br />
impact on water quality and<br />
property values, as well as traffic<br />
and noise.<br />
However, evidence provided<br />
by Aggregate and Quarrying<br />
<strong>The</strong> expert<br />
evidence can<br />
be viewed<br />
on the ECan<br />
website at<br />
https://bit.<br />
ly/2MOAUCK<br />
Association of New Zealand<br />
chief executive Wayne Scott<br />
said the quarry will benefit<br />
Canterbury.<br />
“Fulton Hogan is proposing<br />
the best practice mitigation<br />
measures for the site and has<br />
developed a detailed quarry<br />
rehabilitation plan. AQA is<br />
supportive of Fulton Hogan’s<br />
commitment to going beyond<br />
compliance.”<br />
Fulton Hogan has already<br />
made a number of changes to its<br />
plan before the hearings start.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y include no processing of<br />
aggregates before 7am or after<br />
8pm and there will be a limit of<br />
800 truck movements per day.<br />
<strong>The</strong> NZTA evidence covered a<br />
range of issues, including traffic<br />
congestion in the Dawsons Rd<br />
area. It suggested installing electronic<br />
signs warning motorists<br />
not to use certain roads.<br />
On behalf of the Canterbury<br />
District Health Board, Stephen<br />
Gordon Chiles’ evidence said the<br />
proposed<br />
conditions<br />
do not adequately<br />
manage<br />
noise<br />
from off-site<br />
trucks. He<br />
made recommendations<br />
including<br />
imposing<br />
a consent<br />
condition<br />
Wayne Scott<br />
prohibiting trucks with audible<br />
engine brakes from entering the<br />
site.<br />
Meanwhile, the number of<br />
people speaking at the hearings<br />
is still to be finalised. An ECan<br />
spokeswoman said a schedule<br />
will be available a week before<br />
the hearings. <strong>The</strong> hearings are<br />
due to take place on November<br />
18-22, December 2- 6 and<br />

Heat pump company<br />

Space flight pioneer to<br />
touch down in Chch<br />
ONE OF NASA’s first female astronauts<br />
is touching down in the city to encourage<br />
women to tackle new frontiers in science.<br />
Anna Fisher, who is also a chemist and a<br />
specialist in emergency medicine, will take<br />
part in a special panel discussion A Future<br />
for Women in STEM (science, technology,<br />
engineering and mathematics) on Wednesday.<br />
In 1983, just weeks before having her<br />
first daughter, Dr Fisher secured a spot<br />
in the Discovery shuttle<br />
crew as a mission<br />
specialist. She lifted off in<br />
1984 to become the first<br />
mother in space.<br />
Dr Fisher was also<br />
chief of the space station<br />
branch during the building<br />
of the International<br />
Anna Fisher<br />
Space Station and worked<br />
on the Orion capsule<br />
under development for<br />
NASA’s Space Launch System.<br />
She also served as the ISS capsule communicator<br />
at the Mission Control Centre.<br />
Her visit coincides with the 50th anniversary<br />
of the Apollo moon landing.<br />
Dr Fisher will join New Zealand scientists<br />
Rose Swears, Victoria Metcalf, Sarah<br />
Kessans and leading STEM educator<br />
Miranda Satterthwaite to discuss pathways<br />
for women in science and aeronautics, the<br />
development of young talent and leadership.<br />
Her fellow panellists also have a role in<br />
the world of space science.<br />

A HEAT pump company has come under<br />
fire for allegedly misrepresenting its<br />
services to elderly customers.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Commerce Commission is taking<br />
action against Christchurch-based Ocean<br />
Contracting, also trading as Ocean Heat-<br />
Master, which it says misrepresented its<br />
services to the public.<br />
<strong>The</strong> company is facing 10 charges under<br />
the Fair Trading Act for “representations<br />
made during servicing of heat pumps.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> charges relate to complaints from<br />
Otago and Southland customers, who received<br />
cold calls from Ocean Contracting<br />
in 2016 or 2017, with subsequent visits to<br />
service their heat pumps.<br />
<strong>The</strong> majority of complainants were<br />
pensioners. <strong>The</strong> commission alleges Ocean<br />
Contracting misled consumers by telling<br />
them their heat pumps were leaking refrigerant<br />
gas and that it would cost between<br />
$180 and $400 to “top up” the refrigerant<br />
gas.<br />
“None of the complainants’ heat pumps<br />
required a refrigerant top-up. <strong>The</strong> evidence<br />
gathered by the commission suggests that<br />
Ocean Contracting did not actually carry<br />
out the gas top-ups which it held out as<br />
necessary,” the commission said.<br />
One former customer, Madeline Clark,<br />
of Dunedin, complained about Ocean<br />
Contracting services in 2017 after the two<br />
service technicians advised her the pump<br />
had a gas leak, which would cost an additional<br />
$350 to replace. She agreed and the<br />
work took “around 10 minutes” she said.<br />
Davies Heat & Cool manager Peter<br />
Chettleburgh said the heat pump would<br />
simply stop working if it had a refrigerant<br />
gas leak. “It would also have taken much<br />
longer than 10min to clean and fix it –<br />
we’d estimate around two to three hours<br />
work, including the gas, which should cost<br />
around $250 plus GST for a full replacement.”<br />
Ocean HeatMaster subsequently waived<br />
Ms Clark’s $350 fee. Ocean Contracting<br />
owner and manager Mithun Naidu did not<br />
to return calls.<br />
IGNITION: <strong>The</strong> first woman and<br />
mother in space, Anna Fisher,<br />
will talk at Turanga about the<br />
importance of women in science.<br />
of Science (Research) at Waikato University,<br />
has recently undertaken a NASA<br />
internship, while Dr Metcalf – a marine<br />
biologist, geneticist and communicator – is<br />
the national co-ordinator of the participatory<br />
science platform for the prime minister’s<br />
chief science adviser.<br />
A research fellow at Canterbury<br />
University, Dr Kessans has initiated<br />
several projects in the foundation of a<br />
local space biotechnology industry, while<br />
Ms Satterthwaite has trained in STEM<br />
education at several NASA centres, and<br />
taught aerodynamics.<br />
A Future for Women in STEM panel discussion will be held in the TSB<br />
Space at Turanga on Wednesday, 5.30-7pm.

NEWS<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-<br />
Harding<br />
WHEN EMILY Sullivan was in<br />
primary school she was ridiculed<br />
for her looks and often asked out<br />
by boys as a joke.<br />
“I didn’t grow up with the most<br />
friends – a lot of guys were mean<br />
to me. Often it was just to get a<br />
reaction and carried on into my<br />
teenage years,” she said.<br />
But now the 22-year-old is a<br />
strong feminist who uses beauty<br />
pageants to fight for women’s<br />
autonomy over their bodies.<br />
Looking back, the Wainoni<br />
resident said while the bullying<br />
hurt her, it has helped her develop<br />
a thick skin and appreciation for<br />
who she is. Her strong views and<br />
confidence has seen her named<br />
the New Zealand delegate for the<br />
Miss Global Organisation. Sullivan,<br />
a performer and Anytime<br />
Fitness Rangiora personal trainer,<br />
will travel to Mexico next year to<br />
represent NZ at the international<br />
beauty contest.<br />
“I am so flipping excited,” she<br />
said.<br />
She was named the New Zealand<br />
delegate on Saturday at the<br />
Miss Five Crowns New Zealand<br />
competition. She earned the title<br />
after coming in the top 15 at the<br />
World Supermodel Pageant in Fiji<br />
earlier this year.<br />
<strong>The</strong> competition raised $15,000<br />
for Youthline.<br />
Sullivan will need to raise<br />
$2000 for her entry fee to the<br />
competition in Mexico.<br />
Having raised $3000 for Youthline<br />
two years ago through her<br />
beauty pageant work, Sullivan<br />
described its work as “critical”,<br />
particularly in light of the mental<br />
health issues the city is dealing<br />
with today.<br />
She said “thousands and thousands”<br />
of people called Youthline<br />
following the March 15 attacks<br />
and it is a “cornerstone” of the<br />
community.<br />
While beauty contests have<br />
often come under fire for encouraging<br />
women to measure their<br />
self-worth through their physical<br />
attributes, for Sullivan it is more<br />
than a modelling competition.<br />
She has used her platform to<br />
discuss feminism and women’s<br />
right to abortion.<br />
“Often what people don’t realise<br />
is it is a huge decision for women<br />
to make. Women should have the<br />
right to choose what they want to<br />
do with their body.”<br />
Last year, the 22-year-old<br />
challenged National Party leader<br />
Simon Bridges at a community<br />
meeting in Taupo over why he<br />
hadn’t taken abortion out of the<br />
Crimes Act 1961.<br />
While her challenge received<br />
backlash, Sullivan does not regret<br />
using her position to stand up for<br />
what she believes in.<br />
A National Academy of Singing<br />
and Dramatic Art graduate,<br />
Sullivan first got into beauty<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
Using pageants to promote women’s rights<br />
pageants two years ago to help<br />
her with her stage confidence.<br />
Never expecting her pageant<br />
career to take off in her first<br />
competition, she was named Miss<br />
Five Crowns South Island two<br />
years ago.<br />
Sullivan believes the reason<br />
beauty pageants often get a bad<br />
name is because women are<br />
sometimes sexualised and many<br />
believe the contests encourage<br />
anti-feminism.<br />
She said the problem is<br />
women will often get into beauty<br />
pageants for the wrong reasons<br />
and will get lost in physical<br />
aspects of the competition rather<br />
than using it as a platform to<br />
discuss important issues.<br />
“You have got to have<br />
substance, you have to dig deep,”<br />
she said.<br />
While Sullivan’s views on<br />
feminism have grown, small<br />
issues such as being told she<br />
couldn’t play bullrush because<br />
she was girl “ignited a flame” in<br />
her as a child.<br />
But she said the issues she has<br />
faced are minor compared to<br />
what others experiences with<br />
human trafficking and domestic<br />
violence.<br />

Uni’s top finance students to represent NZ<br />
YOUNG, SUCCESSFUL<br />
& on the move<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> continues showcasing the city’s<br />
successful young people. If you have a story<br />
to tell, email jess.gibson@starmedia.kiwi<br />
CANTERBURY University’s top<br />
finance students have won the<br />
biggest finance competition in<br />
the country.<br />
As a result, they will represent<br />
New Zealand in March 2020 at<br />
the Asia Pacific Regional Finals<br />
in Seoul, South Korea.<br />
Jonathan Manickam, Nicolas<br />
Adams, Caitlin Hendren, Jack<br />
Skerman and Nicholas Steyn<br />
had the winning presentation at<br />
the Chartered Financial Analyst<br />
Institute’s Research Challenge in<br />
Auckland on <strong>October</strong> 11.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y competed against seven<br />
other teams from universities<br />
across the country after spending<br />
11 weeks preparing a professional<br />
valuation report on New<br />
Zealand’s stock exchange-listed<br />
company, Z Energy.<br />
Chris Wakefield coached the<br />
team with industry advice from<br />
Nick Webb, who is a credit trader<br />
with Westpac and UC alumnus.<br />
<strong>The</strong> team had access to Z<br />
Energy’s investor relations team,<br />
could submit questions to Z<br />
Energy management and use the<br />
support, resources and advice<br />
from their assigned faculty and<br />
industry advisors.<br />
Team captain Jonathan, a<br />
third-year Bachelor of Commerce<br />
student in finance and economics,<br />
hopes that the business school<br />
will increase its support of the<br />
competition given the team’s<br />
accomplishment this year.<br />
TOP TEAM: (Left to right) – Team adviser and coach Chris Wakefield, Jack Skerman, Caitlin<br />
Hendren, captain Jonathan Manickam, Nicholas Steyn and Nicolas Adams will head to<br />
South Korea for the Asia Pacific regional finals in March.<br />
<strong>The</strong> success of our team is due<br />
to the unique and diverse skillset<br />
that each member possessed.”<br />
“We learnt so many new skills<br />
and techniques during this competition<br />
and have enjoyed the opportunities<br />
to question company<br />
staff and receive guidance. <strong>The</strong><br />
choice of the company proved<br />
very topical, given the recent Saudi<br />
Arabia oil attacks that caused<br />
supply shocks and the Commerce<br />
Commission inquiry into the<br />
profitability of downstream fuel<br />
retailers” he said.<br />
Said team coach and adviser<br />
Chris Wakefield: “<strong>The</strong> experience<br />
provides the students incredible<br />
exposure to potential future employers<br />
in the financial industry<br />
and we are looking forward to<br />
representing New Zealand in<br />
South Korea next year.”<br />
This year the global<br />
competition has involved 6200<br />
students and 4000 volunteers<br />
including coaches, advisers<br />
and judges from over 1100<br />
universities, representing more<br />
than 90 countries.<br />
Back to the pool after a long absence<br />
YOU KNOW how I said I missed<br />
the whole co-sleeping thing?<br />
Well on Tuesday I woke up<br />
to Vittoria breaking the laws of<br />
physics by putting her entire body<br />
weight onto my face through her<br />
face while lying down. She was also<br />
singing in my ear.<br />
It was way too early to make<br />
me miss waking up like that. No<br />
amount of adorable singing is<br />
enjoyable before sunrise.<br />
Laura flat out denied inserting<br />
a toddler between us, so I have no<br />
idea how she got into that position<br />
either. I’m not sure if I was woken<br />
up earlier and grabbed her into bed<br />
to settle her, if she jumped up on<br />
her own accord or if she has actually<br />
mutated the ability to teleport.<br />
Hell, can you imagine if it was<br />
the last one? Absolute nightmare.<br />
Beyond face-based wrestling<br />
moves, we finally started back to<br />
swim classes last week.<br />
It’d been three months since Vittoria<br />
had last been in a pool, so I<br />
was worried her water confidence<br />
would have waned.<br />
My ability to handle washing,<br />
drying and dressing both myself<br />
and a much less cooperative toddler<br />
post-swim was also in question<br />
(mostly in my head). Fortunately<br />
Laura had the day off so I had both<br />
change-time support and a photographer<br />
on call.<br />
Concerns around (Vittoria’s) confidence<br />
disappeared as soon as the<br />
water hit her face and she cracked a<br />
massive smile. It was like she’d not<br />
missed a whole term and she aced<br />
each activity. She even remembered<br />
the actions to the Aquagym class<br />
song better than me.<br />
<strong>The</strong> only thing I thought had<br />
VITTORIA<br />
& Matt<br />
slipped was remembering to kick<br />
her legs when she did the activities<br />
designed to introduce her to swimming<br />
techniques, but she improved<br />
during the class.<br />
Unfortunately, time away hadn’t<br />
dulled her dislike of swimming on<br />
her back and it still held the same<br />
risk of being uppercut, hair pulled<br />
or getting fingers up your nose.<br />
Of course, her favourite thing is<br />
to jump off the foam mat into the<br />
pool, it remained top of the list.<br />
Hopefully this week the smooth<br />
sailing continues in the pool.<br />
Especially as Laura will be working<br />
and I’ll be having to address my<br />
concerns for my post swim admin<br />
ability.<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-<br />
Harding<br />
BROUGHT UP in a strong<br />
Catholic family, Chris Archer<br />
never celebrated Halloween the<br />
way many Kiwi children do now.<br />
“I love the idea of dressing up<br />
and sharing gifts,” he said. “But<br />
I am not sure within that model<br />
whether kids fully understand<br />
that actually it is a day to<br />
celebrate those who have passed<br />
on.”<br />
His Catholic heritage has not<br />
stopped him from indulging his<br />
fascination with how the festival<br />
is celebrated around the world –<br />
particularly in Mexico.<br />
“I think I have always had an<br />
interest in the bizarre, the strange<br />
and the unexpected.”<br />
As part of the Festival of the<br />
(Un)Dead over Labour weekend,<br />
Archer, an accomplished pianist,<br />
will take audiences back in<br />
time as he accompanies the<br />
silent horror film Nosferatu: A<br />
Symphony of Horror with live<br />
piano music.<br />
<strong>The</strong> German film will be<br />
screened in <strong>The</strong> Great Hall at<br />
<strong>The</strong> Arts Centre of Christchurch.<br />
Archer is the centre’s<br />
programmes and partnerships<br />
manager.<br />
<strong>The</strong> screening will be a key<br />
feature of the festival, along with<br />
a screening of <strong>The</strong> Rocky Horror<br />
Picture Show straight after<br />
Nosferatu. <strong>The</strong> annual Thrill the<br />
World Christchurch global danceoff<br />
at Cathedral Square will also<br />
see residents dance to Michael<br />
Jackson’s Thriller to raise money<br />
for charity.<br />
While Archer plans to<br />
improvise part of the soundtrack<br />
throughout Nosferatu, he has<br />
spent more than 50 hours<br />
selecting mainly German music<br />
to match the mood of each scene.<br />
“Thrown in for good measure, I<br />
am using John Carpenter’s music,<br />
Halloween, which everyone will<br />
recognise just because it seems<br />
appropriate,” Archer said.<br />
One of the most influential<br />
horror films of all time, Nosferatu<br />
was directed by Friedrich<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
Wilhelm Murnau and released<br />
in 1922.<br />
“It is a technical feat in<br />
cinematography but there are<br />
also some classic, suspenseful<br />
scenes that have inspired even<br />
contemporary modern horror<br />
movies we see today.”<br />
Archer said Murnau was<br />
very clever, putting scenes of<br />
incredible suspense against<br />
scenes of complete relaxation to<br />
take audiences by surprise.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re is a creepy element<br />
where you know someone is<br />
following someone else and the<br />
time spent preparing that and<br />
creating the suspense . . . there<br />
are so many horror films with the<br />
same technique,” he said.<br />
Archer first saw the film about<br />
20 years ago as part of a New<br />
Zealand Film Commission<br />
festival at the Isaac <strong>The</strong>atre Royal.<br />
As well as playing the piano,<br />
he is an accomplished organist,<br />
accompanist, composer, music<br />
educator and was an organist<br />
at the Catholic Cathedral for 10<br />
years.<br />
•Nosferatu: A Symphony<br />
of Horror will be screened<br />
on Friday, 6.30-8.10pm. To<br />

<strong>The</strong> coming week<br />
in our history<br />
<strong>October</strong> <strong>24</strong>, 1913 – Violent<br />
clashes between unionised<br />
waterside workers and non-union<br />
labour erupted two days after<br />
Wellington’s ‘wharfies’ held a stop<br />
work meeting.<br />
<strong>October</strong> 25, 1971 – <strong>The</strong><br />
Christchurch–Dunedin overnight<br />
express ran the last scheduled<br />
steam-hauled service on New<br />
Zealand railways.<br />
<strong>October</strong> 26, 1942 – <strong>The</strong><br />
Women Jurors Act provided for<br />
women aged 25 to 60 to have their<br />
names placed on the jury list on<br />
the same basis as men.<br />
<strong>October</strong> 27, 1943 – New<br />
Zealanders of 8 Brigade, 3 New<br />
Zealand Division, helped their<br />
United States allies clear Mono<br />
Island in the Solomons of its<br />
Japanese defenders. Forty New<br />
Zealanders lost their lives.<br />
<strong>October</strong> 28, 1835 – Thirtyfour<br />
northern chiefs signed He<br />
Whakaputanga (a Declaration of<br />
Independence) at a hui called by<br />
the British Resident, James Busby.<br />
<strong>October</strong> 29, 1894 – <strong>The</strong> SS<br />
Wairarapa was ship-wrecked on<br />
Great Barrier Island. It remains<br />
the third deadliest shipwreck<br />
ever in New Zealand waters: 121<br />
lives were lost when the steamer<br />
Wairarapa struck Miners Head,<br />
on the northern tip of Great Barrier<br />
Island<br />
<strong>October</strong> 30, 1865 – <strong>The</strong><br />
Native Land Court, one of the key<br />
products of the 1865 Native Lands<br />
Act, was created.<br />
Readers respond to the<br />
article about ‘tribute’<br />
burnouts outside<br />
a funeral home in<br />
Harewood<br />
John Hbr – It’s all part of a<br />
good send off and has been for<br />
years. It’s a police matter and<br />
they will follow it up if need be.<br />
Pauline Handley – Making<br />
tyre marks from burnouts<br />
to me just seems like a form of<br />
marking territory like tagging,<br />
animals do it by peeing on<br />
things. Feral people do it with<br />
tyre marks and paint.<br />
Alyson Harlett – A couple<br />
of speed humps would fix it.<br />

Isn’t it great we are training these<br />
guys in case this happens?<br />
Maria Melgies – Well deserved,<br />
they totally put their own<br />
lives on the line to stop more<br />
bloodshed. Well done guys, New<br />
Zealand will always be grateful<br />
for your bravery to stop and<br />
capture a crazed lunatic thank<br />
you so much.<br />

you for what you did that day, a<br />
well deserved award.<br />
Mu Zila – So does everyone<br />
get an award too for just doing<br />
their job?<br />
Rachel Christian – Quick<br />
thinking prevented further loss<br />
and the offender has to face his<br />
punishment.<br />
Readers respond to<br />
an article about city<br />
councillors voting on<br />

Heather Wilkins – <strong>The</strong><br />

Must be open slather then. How<br />
many people get an increase of<br />
that much over a year? Many<br />
don’t get one at all.<br />
Nigel Thompson – Maybe<br />
their employers, the ratepayers,<br />
should decide?<br />
Julie Dalton – <strong>The</strong>y should<br />
try $450 a week and see just how<br />
hard it is.<br />
Christine Clarke – <strong>The</strong>y<br />
should get minimum wage rates.<br />
Denis Lynn Gillison –<br />
Should we not decide what they<br />
get paid as we actually pay them?<br />
Matt Cuthill – <strong>The</strong>y will give<br />
themselves a nice big pay rise and<br />
raise our rates. Meanwhile, many<br />
of our streets are still a mess.<br />

power over your own salary. Any<br />
normal person, and I’m sure<br />
they’re not abnormal, would<br />
vote for a higher pay. I think it’s<br />
more prudent to have a separate<br />
payroll team to evaluate and<br />
salary based on performance etc.<br />

OUR PEOPLE – ROY CAMPBELL<br />
Boss keeps long-serving retail outlet<br />
Smiths City has been an<br />
institution in Christchurch<br />
for 101 years. Louis Day<br />
catches up with chief<br />
executive Roy Campbell<br />
How long have you been<br />
involved with Smiths City?<br />
I have been here about fourand-a-half<br />
years. I came back<br />
to Christchurch for this role, I<br />
returned for the role as group<br />
CEO.<br />
What were you doing for work<br />
before this?<br />
Well, that gets a little bit<br />
interesting. Directly before this, I<br />
was over in the US Virgin Islands<br />
and I was doing a restructuring<br />
of a duty-free company which<br />
had been bought by a private<br />
company and just integrating<br />
that into their overall corporate<br />
structure. <strong>The</strong> company was<br />
called Penha Duty Free it is a<br />
privately held Dutch company<br />
and it has been around for 300<br />
years I think. I was there for just<br />
a year.<br />
How has Smiths City changed<br />
over the years?<br />
Well that is a really interesting<br />
question, if you go right back<br />
to 1918 when Henry Cooper<br />
founded it and it was a seller of<br />
second-hand farm implements<br />
that he bought, refurbished and<br />
sold and then went from that into<br />
seed and grain and into livestock<br />
and then it was an auction house<br />
so it has changed massively over<br />
the last 100 years, it is continually<br />
evolving to meet the needs of the<br />
modern market.<br />
How have buying habits<br />
changed over the years?<br />
Well clearly in the last year<br />
term we have seen the rise of the<br />
online portal as a way to shop<br />
so that has materially impacted<br />
how people search, relate and<br />
purchase goods so that has<br />
ALL SMILES:<br />
Smiths<br />
City chief<br />
executive<br />
Roy<br />
Campbell<br />
stands<br />
outside the<br />
Colombo St<br />
store.<br />
changed quite materially.<br />
Do you think online shopping<br />
is killing the face-to-face<br />
customer service experience?<br />
No I don’t, I think it is<br />
changing how that customer<br />
face-to-face experience happens.<br />
You now have a far more<br />
informed consumer entering<br />
your store now, but humans are<br />
social beings we like to interact<br />
so we may search online we<br />
may purchase things online,<br />
and certainly, we see fantastic<br />
growth in our online sales no<br />
question about that, but they are<br />
complementary to the in-store<br />
experience. So I am very fond of<br />
saying that there is not an online<br />
and offline experience there is a<br />
blended retail experience.<br />
Who has been the most<br />
famous customer you have<br />
served?<br />
All our customers are famous,<br />
anyone that really shops with us<br />
is a famous person to us because<br />
we really value their interaction.<br />
Kieran Read has shopped with<br />
us, I know that well. But we treat<br />
every customer the same.<br />
What have been some of the<br />
biggest challenges?<br />
I think that retail is evolving<br />
so making sure that you have<br />
the right customer experience<br />
that you have the right level of<br />
engagement in-store is crucial to<br />
us making sure that our teams<br />
are really giving the customers<br />
what they want and listen to<br />
their needs is the most important<br />
thing.<br />

trading with the current trends<br />
What is your best selling<br />
product at the minute?<br />
Well, you are talking in the<br />
middle of a Rugby World Cup so<br />
we can’t seem to keep televisions<br />
in the store at the moment for<br />
some strange reason, clearly, that<br />
is very situational, but they would<br />
be some of the hottest items that<br />
we have at the moment.<br />
What are some of the biggest<br />
changes you have made at<br />
Smiths City?<br />
Customers preferences and<br />
tastes do change over time and<br />
we move with that, in fact, one<br />
of the things I did back in 2015<br />
when I came in here we used<br />
to sell a lot of products that we<br />
weren’t well known for that we<br />
used to be well known for but<br />
as time had moved forward we<br />
actually took them out of the<br />
range. One of these products was,<br />
we used to sell a lot of firearms<br />
and I cancelled that before the<br />
unfortunate events of this year.<br />
So we evolve our product sets<br />
to meet the needs of what our<br />
consumers are asking for.<br />
Are there any types of<br />
products that you would be<br />
interested in looking at selling<br />
in the future?<br />
Clearly the connected home<br />
is emerging, clearly, the more<br />
wearable technologies that are<br />
coming through, these are areas<br />
that we are looking at as a natural<br />
enhancement of what we do.<br />
Where did you grow up?<br />
I grew up in Island Bay in<br />
Wellington but I would really<br />
classify myself as New Zealander<br />
rather than a Wellingtonian<br />
or an Aucklander or even a<br />
Cantabrian. I have lived and<br />
worked across New Zealand for<br />
many years now so I am quite<br />
proud to call New Zealand home<br />
and I am very proud to be back in<br />
Christchurch for the third time,<br />
it’s a great place to live.<br />
What was the first job you got<br />
out of school?<br />
My first job was an<br />
apprenticeship and I was<br />
an apprentice as a fitter and<br />
turner and that was with<br />
William Cables in Wellington.<br />
I completed my apprenticeship<br />
when I did some further work<br />
in that field I then decided that I<br />
FITNESS: Roy<br />
Campbell<br />
during last<br />
year’s Le Race.<br />
Smiths City<br />
in 1948 (top)<br />
and some of<br />
the electrical<br />
products for<br />
sale in 1983.<br />
would like to retrain so I actually<br />
went back to high school as an<br />
adult student to do my university<br />
entrance because I left at 15 to<br />
do the apprenticeship, I duly<br />
received that I was then accepted<br />
into Mobil Oil from down here<br />
I was actually working up in<br />
Mt Hutt ski field and I applied<br />
for a role in Mobil Oil and was<br />
fortunately accepted into that.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n I went back to university,<br />
Auckland University and did a<br />
marketing diploma and an MBA<br />
and here I am I guess.<br />
What did you get in trouble at<br />
school for?<br />
Being cheeky. I was a very<br />
vocal child at school so I left<br />
when I was 15. Generally just<br />
being cheeky would probably be<br />
the best answer.<br />
How do you like to spend your<br />
free time?<br />
I do a reasonable amount<br />
of cycling and gym, I have a<br />
wonderful family I have a very<br />
supportive and sensational<br />
wife who is now a community<br />
magistrate down here in<br />
Christchurch and I have a 16<br />
and a 14-year-old, so they keep<br />
me busy and engaged. I love<br />
motorbikes and I love being out<br />
and about in the Christchurch<br />
environment. I do road cycling,<br />
I used to do a lot of running but<br />
cycling is far better for the body.<br />
I do it for fitness, I have done Le<br />
Race three times now for my sins,<br />
but looking at doing it again, was<br />
an interesting experience.<br />
Dead or alive, if there was<br />
anyone you could have a beer<br />
with, who would it be?<br />
<strong>The</strong> standard answer for me<br />
would be Winston Churchill. I<br />
would probably like to talk to<br />
Einstein or Michelangelo as well,<br />
great minds.

“<strong>The</strong> Shaun<br />
Wallace<br />
Celebrity<br />
Charity<br />
Quiz Show”<br />
Diabetes Christchurch Inc. presents<br />
Diabetes Christchurch are pleased<br />
to confirm three charities to<br />
be involved in this stimulating<br />
quiz show that will be held on<br />
Wednesday, November 20th at<br />
the La Vida Conference Centre in<br />
Upper Riccarton.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se include <strong>The</strong> Christchurch Kidney<br />
Society, <strong>The</strong> Bone Marrow Cancer Trust and<br />
Age Concern Canterbury.<br />
This special one-off show featuring Shaun<br />
Wallace (the main compere) who will be<br />
posing the questions to the well-known local<br />
celebrities, who are competing in teams of<br />
two against each other. <strong>The</strong>se teams will be<br />
the representatives of the five designated<br />
local charities.<br />
Our confirmed celebrity contestants so far<br />
are Sir Bob Parker, Brett and Angel from<br />
“Married At First Sight – NZ” and also<br />
Melinda Collins, editor for the Metropol<br />
magazine.<br />
Born on June 2, 1960 to Jamaican parents,<br />
Shaun Anthony Linford Wallace is a<br />
Londoner born and bred, and has been a<br />
devoted Chelsea fan since 1967. From the<br />
age of 12, Shaun knew he wanted to be a<br />
barrister and was determined to make it.<br />
Despite one or two setbacks along the way,<br />
he finally managed to fulfil his childhood<br />
ambition when he was called to the bar in<br />
November 1984, and proudly had both his<br />
parents present at this prestigious ceremony.<br />
Shaun has been a Criminal Defence<br />
Advocate for nearly 35 years and has worked<br />
tirelessly on cases ranging from murder<br />
to money laundering to firearms to drug<br />
trafficking. Shaun has also regularly appeared<br />
on British television quiz shows such as<br />
Fifteen-To-One, <strong>The</strong> Weakest Link, Greed,<br />
and Are You an Egghead?. Shaun catapulted<br />
to national prominence and recognition<br />
when, on the December 5th, 2004, he won<br />
the BBC’s renowned Mastermind.<br />
His subject in the final was “FA Cup finals<br />
since 1970” - with a score of <strong>24</strong> points and no<br />
passes. Amazing.<br />
Since 2009, he has become a household<br />
name, regularly appearing as ‘<strong>The</strong> Dark<br />
Destroyer’ on the smash ITV hit quiz show,<br />
<strong>The</strong> Chase. All this hard work, endless hours<br />
of study, his relentless “try again … and<br />
again” attitude have helped turn him into<br />
the man he is today: staunchly just and fair,<br />
ruthless when he needs to be, kind, fun, and<br />
a fiercely loyal friend.<br />
<strong>The</strong> proceeds from the show will go to<br />
Diabetes Christchurch and the prizemoney<br />
to the winning charity.<br />

City cycleway routes roll onwards<br />
A CYCLEWAY connecting<br />
the central city with Rolleston<br />
will soon be under way, with<br />
construction due to commence<br />
on three new sections of<br />
Christchurch’s cycleway network.<br />
<strong>The</strong> South Express cycleway,<br />
which was consulted on last year,<br />
will run from the CBD through<br />
Riccarton, Sockburn and Hornby,<br />
to reach Templeton. It passes<br />
a number of schools and will<br />
connect to the Selwyn District<br />
Council’s planned cycle path<br />
to Rolleston. <strong>The</strong> work will be<br />
completed in stages starting at the<br />
city end.<br />
Stretching in the opposite<br />
direction will be the continuation<br />
of the Heathcote Expressway.<br />
Already linking the central city<br />
with <strong>The</strong> Tannery in Woolston,<br />
the route will continue out to<br />
Heathcote, providing a key commuter<br />
route as well as easy access<br />
by bike to Ferrymead Heritage<br />
Park.<br />
<strong>The</strong> third cycleway soon to be<br />
on the map is the Nor’West Arc,<br />
which will connect nine schools<br />
as it runs across the west of the<br />
city. Linking <strong>The</strong> Princess Margaret<br />
Hospital to University of<br />
Canterbury, the first part of this<br />
route will also serve to connect<br />
some of the existing and pending<br />
cycleways, such as Quarryman’s<br />
Trail, Little River Link, South<br />
Express, and Uni-Cycle.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>se new routes are not only<br />
for the benefit of people on bikes,”<br />
said Lynette Ellis, Christchurch<br />
City Council’s planning and delivery<br />
transport manager.<br />
“Motorists and pedestrians will<br />
also enjoy improved safety and<br />
lighting at intersections, plus we’ll<br />
be repairing damaged infrastructure<br />
as we go.”<br />
As more of the cycleways link<br />
together, it becomes easier for<br />
people for give cycling a go, Ms<br />
Ellis said.<br />
“People who are new to biking<br />
feel comfortable using the new<br />
cycleways,” she explained, “and<br />
current riders are more likely to<br />
make different trips, like cycling<br />
with a child to school.”<br />
One resident who uses the<br />
Quarryman’s Trail cycleway for<br />
his daily commute from Beckenham<br />
to Lincoln is John Christie.<br />
Said Mr Christie: “About half<br />
my ride is off-road, and once the<br />
Halswell Junction Rd/Southern<br />
Motorway/Springs Rd intersection<br />
is completed that figure<br />
will jump to three-quarters. <strong>The</strong><br />
remaining quarter is painted onroad<br />
cycleways.”<br />
Mr Christie enjoys the freedom<br />
that biking gives him.<br />
“I don’t get stuck in traffic, plus<br />
I’m not helping accelerate climate<br />
change. I find the exercise is very<br />
beneficial for my physical and<br />
mental health, and riding my bike<br />
is much cheaper than running a<br />
car.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> co-owner of Action Bicycle<br />
Club, Ken Ching, is finding the<br />
POPULAR:<br />
Cycleways are<br />
connecting the<br />
city with the<br />
suburbs.<br />
cycleways are not just providing<br />
a safe and pleasant pathway to<br />
different parts of the city.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> infrastructure is more<br />
than just about transport,” he<br />
said.<br />
“It’s improving our public space<br />
and social cohesion. It’s helping<br />
create a liveable city.”<br />
Alice Terrien, of Bellbird Bakery,<br />
agrees.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> cycleways are great; direct<br />
and safe. Biking is the fastest,<br />
easiest, most hassle-free way for<br />
me to get to work.” Her bakery<br />
uses a cargo-bike to make deliveries<br />
and run errands around the<br />
central city.<br />
“We didn’t want to purchase a<br />
second delivery van. Compared<br />
to a car, the cargo-bike is more<br />
Biketober runs until<br />
<strong>October</strong> 31. <strong>The</strong> full<br />
programme can be found<br />
at biketoberchch.nz<br />
convenient to use, is often faster,<br />
and it’s fun.”<br />
Ms Terrien believes the cycleway<br />
network makes the city more<br />
appealing to locals and visitors<br />
alike.<br />
“I can’t see why Christchurch<br />
couldn’t become the Amsterdam<br />
of the south,” she said.<br />
As the infrastructure for<br />
Christchurch’s bicycles continues<br />
to develop, so too does the city’s<br />
biking culture. Biketober, the<br />
annual, month-long festival of<br />
the cycle, is on now and offers<br />
a diverse programme of events,<br />
from guided rides to workshops,<br />
competitions to seminars, for all<br />
ages.<br />

EVEN THOUGH it has been a<br />
wet <strong>October</strong> there are plenty of<br />
tasks to do in the garden.<br />
All summer vegetables should<br />
now have been planted. This<br />
includes beans, beetroot, cabbage,<br />
celery, corn, cucumber, lettuce,<br />
courgettes, spring onions, peas,<br />
pumpkin, radish, spinach,<br />
tomatoes, silverbeet and<br />
kumara.<br />
Make sure your developing<br />
vegetables are well watered – with<br />
the recent rain be careful not to<br />
over water.<br />
Continue to ‘lateral’ (nip out<br />
shoots that appear between the<br />
junction of a leaf and the stem)<br />
tomatoes and tie them to stakes<br />
for support. Keep staggering<br />
your vegetable plantings for<br />
continuous cropping over the<br />
season.<br />
New season herbs should also<br />
be planted in the next two weeks.<br />
It’s now safe to plant herbs like<br />
basil and coriander as the chance<br />
of frost is minimal. Remember<br />
herbs grow best in a fine, welldrained<br />
soil in full sun. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
struggle in heavy clay soil and in<br />
shady parts of the garden.<br />
Often the best month for roses,<br />
full, clean blooms are growing<br />
on healthy plants. Side dress with<br />
fertiliser every 4-6 weeks. Dead<br />
head regularly to aid continuous<br />
blooming.<br />
For hedges, aim to trim them<br />
‘a little and often’– they are best<br />
trimmed after a flush of new<br />
season growth. Water and fertilise<br />
plants regularly to help achieve<br />
a strong dense hedge. This is<br />
especially important with newly<br />
planted hedges.<br />
Mulching is incredibly<br />
important over the next few<br />
months to keep your garden<br />
healthy.<br />
<strong>The</strong> best mulch is a form of<br />
organic matter that is applied as<br />
a layer on top of your soil in your<br />
garden, around plants, trees, and<br />
especially in your pots, to help<br />
protect them against the elements<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
Don’t let wet ground stop you gardening<br />
and retain moisture.<br />
Timing the application of<br />
mulch is very important and<br />
it’s better to wait until soil<br />
temperatures have risen. In the<br />
colder areas of New Zealand;<br />
such as parts of the South<br />
Island, apply mulch in mid-late<br />
November. In warmer regions,<br />
mulch can be applied from now<br />
until early November.<br />
This is the last month to sow or<br />
patch large parts of your existing<br />
lawn before it becomes too dry.<br />
For a lush green lawn, fertilise<br />
regularly with fertiliser and water<br />
it in well.<br />

Lights can be fun<br />
and decorative<br />
GARDEN lighting is<br />
practical.<br />
Lights on a pathway will<br />
help you and your friends<br />
find their way to your<br />
front door in the dead of<br />
night, and will help deter<br />
unwanted guests.<br />
But it doesn’t have to<br />
stop there. Lights can<br />
also be fun, dramatic and<br />
creative.<br />
When you add lighting<br />
to your garden, follow the<br />
philosophy ‘‘less-is-more’’<br />
and you will add a new<br />
dimension to your garden.<br />
Place a light behind a pot<br />
or statue, this will create<br />
interesting silhouettes.<br />
Add a submersible light<br />
to your water ponds or<br />
water feature.<br />
Light up a painted wall<br />
as a back drop to a favourite<br />
garden bed or plant<br />
feature.<br />
Place down lights in a<br />
tree to create pools of light<br />
on featured plants or ornaments.<br />
Lights will let you<br />
enjoy the garden at night<br />
SAFETY: Light up your driveway.<br />
throughout the year. A<br />
simple flick of a switch<br />
can make the winter night<br />
garden a fantastic composition<br />
when viewed from<br />
inside, and help to brighten<br />
up those dark gloomy<br />
nights.<br />
Lay out your cable<br />
around the desired area<br />
from the point where<br />
it will connect to the<br />
transformer ensuring you<br />
follow any directions on<br />
the transformer and its<br />
packaging. Plug transformer<br />
into a weatherproof<br />
exterior power point<br />
and switch on.<br />
At twilight, you can<br />
adjust the position and<br />
angles of the lights, if<br />
required. Your lighting is<br />
ready for you to enjoy.<br />
Easy-care colour<br />
COREOPSIS ARE a<br />
fantastic plant to grow at<br />
this time of year.<br />
Planted now, they will<br />
thrive in the summer sun<br />
– which, fingers crossed,<br />
should arrive at some<br />
point.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir love of the sun<br />
makes them super easycare.<br />
Once planted, unless<br />
there’s a drought, they don’t<br />
need much watering at all.<br />
Three varieties which<br />
produce, bright, yellow,<br />
sunny flowers are early<br />
sunrise, rising sun and<br />
sunburst.<br />
Early sunrise has green<br />
leaves with golden-yellow,<br />
semi-double flowers. Rising<br />
sun produces double<br />
golden-yellow flowers with<br />
red eyes. Sunburst also<br />
produces golden-yellow,<br />
semi-double and double<br />
flowers.<br />
All three make great<br />
borders and lovely cut<br />
flowers.<br />
Once you’ve got your<br />
plants, be sure to grow<br />
them in the sunniest spot<br />
in your garden around 40-<br />
50cm apart.<br />
Give them a light watering<br />
and then let them do<br />
their thing.<br />
COLOUR: Coreopsis make great borders and<br />
lovely cut flowers.<br />
When they start<br />
flowering be sure to<br />
deadhead (remove the dead<br />
flower heads) to encourage<br />
them to keep producing<br />
flowers.<br />
And in late summer you<br />
can either leave them to<br />
do their thing or cut them<br />
back by one-third to get<br />
them flowering again.<br />
Not all varieties of<br />
coreopsis are perennials,<br />
but many are, so every<br />
two to three years in early<br />
spring you can dig up the<br />
plants, divide them and<br />
expand your garden.<br />

<strong>The</strong> start of a blooming garden<br />
THE JOY of spring is that there<br />
are plenty of jobs to do in the<br />
garden, especially now the soil is<br />
warming up.<br />
Towards the end of <strong>October</strong>,<br />
early season varieties of<br />
strawberries will begin to ripen.<br />
Check plants regularly for signs<br />
of grey mould (botrytis), and<br />
remove any affected leaves and<br />
fruit.<br />
Add pea straw, hay or clean<br />
bark mulch around the plants<br />
to provide a clean ‘nest’ for<br />
developing strawberries.<br />
Raspberries, boysenberries,<br />
loganberries and blackberries<br />
should be growing at a very fast<br />
rate as we move through the<br />
month.<br />
Train canes on a wall or a<br />
wire framework. It may be<br />
necessary to remove some<br />
surplus canes where growth is<br />
exceptional. Mulch with compost<br />
to suppress weeds and conserve<br />
soil moisture, and fruit and berry<br />
fertiliser.<br />
Lawns are now in very active<br />
growth and require regular<br />
mowing. Fertilise with lawn<br />
fertiliser and repeat every four to<br />
six weeks.<br />
This is the last month for<br />
‘easy’ laying of a new lawn or<br />
for patching and existing<br />
lawn.<br />
It’s a great time to plant up<br />
BEST DISPLAY OF YEAR: Roses should now be coming into bloom.<br />
your container gardens with<br />
ornamental annuals, perennials<br />
or herbs, and even small green<br />
salad veges.<br />
Always start with fresh<br />
container mix and ensure the<br />
containers are well drained.<br />
Summer annuals that thrive in<br />
containers include dwarf cosmos,<br />
marigolds, petunia, portulacas,<br />
salvias and zinnias.<br />
If you are establishing a new<br />
herb garden or restoring an<br />
existing one, try and position the<br />
herb garden close to the kitchen<br />
so it’s easy to access.<br />
Ideally, herbs prefer a sunny,<br />
well-drained position. You may<br />
need to plant more of the herbs<br />
you frequently use for example<br />
basil, chives, parsley.<br />
Roses will now start coming<br />
into their own.<br />
<strong>The</strong> first blooms are the best<br />
display of the year before the<br />
dreaded blackspot and rust<br />
appear.<br />
Fertilise them every four to<br />
six weeks with rose fertiliser as<br />
this enhances regular and ‘strong’<br />
flowering.<br />
Mulch with compost to help<br />
retain soil moisture and ‘dead<br />
head’ (the removal of old flowers)<br />
regularly to help promote<br />
continuous flowering.<br />

GARDENING 33<br />
Keep safe by<br />
taking<br />
precautions<br />
SPRING IS a time when<br />
working in the garden is the<br />
place to be.<br />
However, there are hidden<br />
dangers and one of those is<br />
developing legionnaires’ disease.<br />
Here are some guidelines to<br />
avoid that happening<br />
•Minimise the amount of dust<br />
present when working in the<br />
garden.<br />
•Water gardens and indoor<br />
plants using a gentle spray.<br />
•Read the warning label on<br />
bagged composts or potting mix.<br />
•Wear gloves.<br />
•Wear a mask so that any dust<br />
is filtered out before you can<br />
breathe it in.<br />
•Dampen potting mixes<br />
before use.<br />
•Open bags of soil products<br />
slowly, away from the face.<br />
•Make sure the working area<br />
(for example, the glasshouse or<br />
potting shed) is well ventilated.<br />
•See a doctor if you develop a<br />
flu-like illness that seems to be<br />
worsening.<br />
•Wash hands thoroughly<br />
after gardening or handling soil<br />
products.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se are simple, easy and<br />
natural steps that all gardeners<br />
can take to reduce risk while<br />
continuing to enjoy their<br />
garden.<br />

SPORT<br />
On Saturday, Canterbury<br />
have a shot of winning<br />
their third straight Farah<br />
Palmer Cup title. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
continues its Canterbury<br />
sporting legends series by<br />
taking a look back at a tryscoring<br />
machine from the<br />
late 1980s and early 1990s,<br />
who also represented the<br />
province in netball. Sports<br />
reporter Gordon Findlater<br />
caught up with Helen<br />
Mahon-Stroud<br />
WHEN HELEN Mahon-Stroud<br />
began playing rugby in the late<br />
1980s the sport was in a far<br />
different position than today.<br />
<strong>The</strong> former New Zealand<br />
winger got introduced to the<br />
sport somewhat by chance when<br />
Canterbury netball teammate<br />
and Black Ferns legend Anna<br />
Richards was on the hunt for a<br />
ringer.<br />
“I think it was after a Canterbury<br />
netball training one Sunday<br />
morning. Anna [Richards] said<br />
she was off to play rugby and<br />
that they were short on players<br />
and did I want to go along, so<br />
I ended up going from Hagley<br />
netball courts across to South<br />
Hagley rugby fields and putting<br />
on someone’s spare boots which<br />
were about two sizes too big<br />
. . . I played on the wing, scored<br />
a couple of tries and that was it,”<br />
said Mahon-Stroud.<br />
“I ended up going home and<br />
saying to my father: ‘Wow I’ve<br />
just played a game of rugby,’ to<br />
which he replied in the very traditional<br />
sense: ‘Girls don’t play<br />
rugby,’ and that was the beginning<br />
of a rugby career.”<br />
Her early rugby days were<br />
spent playing for the Crusadettes<br />
– a Canterbury University team<br />
put together by Laurie O’Reilly<br />
who converted many netballers<br />
to the game.<br />
“Kay O’Reilly was the matriarch<br />
of the Hearts club. Her<br />
husband Laurie used to come<br />
down to netball and was running<br />
a bit of a talent ID and recruitment<br />
programme. He used to<br />
come down and spot all the tall<br />
netballers and say: ‘You’ll be a<br />
lock,’ or: ‘You’re quick, you’ll play<br />
on the wing.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> Crusadettes broke new<br />
ground when they toured the<br />
United States and Europe in<br />
1988 which saw them play in<br />
six different countries. <strong>The</strong><br />
team won 17 from 21 matches<br />
abroad and racked up a staggering<br />
520 points with only 67<br />
conceded.<br />

Helen Mahon-Stroud: Women’s rugby pioneer<br />
“We were sleeping on floors of<br />
clubrooms. In Wales we slept on<br />
the floor at a pub . . . I look back<br />
at it now and you just think how<br />
crazy it was, but what it did for<br />
us in terms of us for our passion<br />
of the game was incredible,” said<br />
Mahon-Stroud.<br />
<strong>The</strong> side were a milestone<br />
for both Canterbury Women’s<br />
ROUND BALL: Mahon-Stroud played provincial netball for<br />
Canterbury before going onto coach the Tactix for their first<br />
four seasons in the transtasman competition.<br />
HONOURED:<br />
Helen<br />
Mahon-<br />
Stroud was<br />
among 46<br />
former Black<br />
Ferns who<br />
received test<br />
caps at a<br />
ceremony in<br />
Auckland last<br />
year. <br />
Rugby and New Zealand Rugby<br />
as 10 members played for the<br />
country’s first women’s team at<br />
the first ever Women’s Rugby<br />
World Cup in 1991 in Wales.<br />
Mahon-Stroud created a bit of<br />
world rugby history herself by<br />
scoring the tournament’s first try<br />
in a <strong>24</strong>-8 win over Canada. New<br />
Zealand went onto be defeated<br />
by eventual winners United<br />
States 0-7.<br />
However, her fondest memory<br />
with rugby came just last year<br />
when she was one of 46 Black<br />
Ferns acknowledged at a capping<br />
ceremony at Eden Park which<br />
was held as a 20th-anniversary<br />
celebration of the Black Ferns<br />
first World Cup title in 1998.<br />
“A number of the former and<br />
current players performed a haka<br />
at the back of the room as we<br />
were presented with our caps.<br />
That was hugely emotional, it really<br />
hit home the culture and the<br />
value these women placed on the<br />
importance of that first team,”<br />
she said.<br />
Mahon-Stroud played both<br />
rugby and netball for Canterbury<br />
through the late 1980s and<br />
early 1990s. One year she says<br />
she even played both codes at<br />
both club and provincial levels<br />
at the same time which was<br />
manageable due to netball being<br />
played on Saturday and rugby on<br />
Sunday.<br />
In 1993 Mahon-Stroud<br />
finished playing rugby due to<br />
commitments with netball and<br />
beginning full-time work as a<br />
police officer. However, she continued<br />
playing national league<br />
netball through to 1998 before<br />
the birth of her first child Ben.<br />
Following her playing career<br />
Mahon-Stroud began a coaching<br />
career which started with humble<br />
beginnings as a player-coach<br />
with Heart’s B team and finished<br />
with her coaching the Tactix in<br />
the transtasman competition<br />
between 2008 and 2011.<br />
In 2008 and 2009 the Tactix<br />
finished a respectable eighth and<br />
sixth in the 10-team competition,<br />
but finished last in 2010 and<br />
2011.<br />
“It was a pretty challenging<br />
four years. Huge learning experience,<br />
but with it I was given a<br />
big opportunity. It was a new<br />
competition and the beginning<br />
of semi-professionalism. <strong>The</strong><br />
insights that I got from that and<br />
the learnings was pretty huge,”<br />
said Mahon-Stroud.<br />
Mahon-Stroud also spent<br />
three-and-a-half years with<br />
New Zealand Cricket as the<br />
White Ferns’ high performance<br />
manager before returning to the<br />
police where she now works as<br />
an investigator.<br />
“After 23 years it’s what I<br />
know, what I’m good at and what<br />
I enjoy. Being back working for<br />
the police is really nice, it’s like<br />
coming back home,” she said.<br />
“One of the things that attracted<br />
me to working for the<br />
police in the first place was that it<br />
is a very big team environment.<br />
You work with people, you work<br />
for people and in sport that’s no<br />
different.”<br />
While working full-time in<br />
sport has been put on the backburner<br />
for now she says she will<br />
“never say never” to another high<br />
performance role.

CANTERBURY coach Kieran<br />
Kite says his side are taking a<br />
robust approach and training<br />
hard this week as they build to<br />
the Farah Palmer Cup final on<br />
Saturday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> two-time defending<br />
champions have a chance to<br />
make the<br />
three-peat<br />
and finish<br />
the season<br />
undefeated<br />
when they<br />

Manukau<br />
with 20min to play in their 31-22<br />
semi-final win over the weekend,<br />
Canterbury are seeking to make<br />
a strong start in the final. Kite<br />

training last week did not help<br />
their performance.<br />

A DODGY shoulder didn’t stop<br />
Matt Holstein hitting the stumps<br />
from the deep to take a matchwinning<br />
direct run out and help<br />
defending one-day premiership<br />
champions St Albans to a tworun<br />
win over Burnside West<br />
Christchurch University.<br />
With just over six overs<br />
remaining in the match on<br />
Saturday at Burnside Park, the<br />
home side trailed by two runs<br />
with one wicket in hand at 134/9.<br />
When all-rounder Matthew<br />
Hay, who amassed 80 runs from<br />
120 deliveries, squirted a ball<br />
into the leg side, two runs looked<br />
on the cards after making the<br />
turn at the non-striker’s end.<br />
However, testing the left-arm of<br />
Holstein, who was fielding near<br />
the boundary at fine leg, proved<br />
costly when the spinner’s throw<br />
hit the wickets to win the match.<br />
“I was trying to hide myself at<br />
fine leg like I tend to do, hoping<br />
the ball wouldn’t come to me.<br />
It went to my left, I picked it up<br />
and Matt Hay probably knew his<br />
fielder pretty well and realised<br />
I don’t traditionally have the<br />
best arm because of my dodgy<br />
shoulder and decided to take it<br />
on, which is probably the smart<br />
play. But that’s just cricket,” said<br />
Holstein.<br />
done (Tuesday night) and<br />
certainly Thursday night there’s<br />
going to be high intensity and a<br />
bit of a ramp-up. We’ll be getting<br />
“It was a really good feeling<br />
actually, the boys getting around<br />
me at the end and having a good<br />
celebration. That’s why you play<br />

learnt from last week in some<br />
respects.”<br />

Earlier in the match, Burnside<br />
West’s Sam Carlaw wreaked<br />
havoc by picking up five wickets<br />
for 13 runs from 10 overs, while<br />
a handy 44 from Tyler Lorton<br />

looked to be dead in the water at<br />

from Hayn with help from Josh<br />
Peake who contributed 16 while<br />
seeing out 47 balls.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Saints’ victory was their<br />
second down-to-the-wire win<br />
in just three weeks. In their<br />
opening match, they made four<br />
late run outs to complete a threerun<br />
victory over Riccarton,<br />
which needed just 10 runs to win<br />
with six wickets in hand.<br />

expected to be a much tougher<br />
opponent this weekend.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y’ve got a good all-round<br />
game and play at a high tempo.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y’ll punch you through the<br />

the side’s 16-year-old first-five<br />

has been a large focus for the<br />

“We brought in Simon<br />
Kneebone who is a scrum guru<br />
to help with that. He’s done<br />

Pride need to win<br />
home and away to<br />
boost final hopes<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
A DOUBLE-HEADER southern<br />
derby this weekend will be<br />
pivotal to Canterbury United<br />
Pride’s hopes of qualifying for<br />
another National Women’s<br />
League final.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Pride had their perfect<br />
start to this year’s campaign<br />
bought to halt by Northern<br />
Lights 1-3 at English Park over<br />
the weekend. Now they will face<br />
third-placed Southern away on<br />
Saturday before hosting them<br />
again on Monday.<br />
“I have put emphasis on this<br />
weekend being more important<br />
than dropping three points last<br />
weekend,” said Pride coach Alana<br />
Gunn.<br />
“As a group the feeling is fine.<br />
We’re still on target for what our<br />
goal is and dropping three points<br />
wasn’t the end of the world.”<br />
Southern are currently two<br />
points behind Canterbury, meaning<br />
the Pride have a chance to<br />
potentially open the gap on their<br />
rivals to eight.<br />
However, Gunn knows that<br />
will be a tough task against the<br />
southerners who have improved<br />
vastly in recent years and turned<br />
heads with a 5-5 draw against<br />
Northern last month. She expects<br />
STRIKER: Nicola<br />
Dominikovich fought hard<br />
during the Pride’s 1-3 loss to<br />
Northern at the weekend.<br />
their physical and direct game<br />
to be on full display over the two<br />
games.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y’ve been really effective<br />
with that. <strong>The</strong>y put five goals past<br />
Northern, which is impressive,”<br />
she said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> match is also expected to<br />
have a rivalry feel. <strong>The</strong> majority<br />
of the players know each other<br />
having come through South<br />
Island age group camps and tournaments<br />
together.<br />
“It will be interesting because<br />
we have Lara [Wall] and Britney-<br />
Lee [Nicholson] who played for<br />
Southern last year. Lara has been<br />
right through their system the<br />
whole time so it will be interesting<br />
to see how she feels. I think<br />
she’s quite looking forward to it,”<br />

themselves against some of the<br />
NRL’s biggest stars when they<br />
host Samoa at Nga Puna Wai<br />

Canterbury will have hopes of<br />
causing an upset and replicating<br />
the accomplishments of the 1990<br />
side which upset a touring Great<br />
Britain side 18-10.<br />

their test against Fiji in Auckland<br />
on November 2.<br />
“We think it’s ideal preparation<br />

who saw Canterbury defeat New<br />
South Wales Country earlier this<br />

into the sixth and final stage,<br />
he trailed Jones by 9sec. On the<br />
43km, Jones was forced to retire<br />
with mechanical issues, giving<br />
van Klink the title.<br />
Cricket schedule a shambles<br />
THIS WEEK has seen some of<br />
the best quality cricket played<br />
at Hagley Oval since it became<br />
Christchurch’s home of cricket,<br />
but you likely wouldn’t have had<br />
a chance to witness it.<br />
Since Monday, Canterbury<br />
and a star-studded Northern<br />
Districts side have been battling<br />
it out in the season’s opening<br />
four-day Plunket Shield match at<br />
Hagley Oval.<br />
Monday and the early part<br />
of Tuesday saw a Canterbury<br />
side containing Black Caps<br />
Tom Latham, Henry Nicholls<br />
and Todd Astle battle to an<br />
impressive 390 against a ND<br />
bowling line-up containing<br />
Trent Boult, Tim Southee, Neil<br />
Wagner, Ish Sodhi and Mitchell<br />
Santner.<br />
What a great spectacle to<br />
wander along to Hagley Oval<br />
and witness for free – well for<br />
anyone who doesn’t work during<br />
the week or attend school.<br />
It’s no secret that sport at a<br />
provincial or domestic level<br />
in New Zealand is waning in<br />
interest, but sometimes you<br />
can’t help but think sporting<br />
organisations aren’t doing<br />
themselves any favours with<br />
promoting their game.<br />
It would have been well known<br />
for some time by New Zealand<br />
Cricket that Black Caps players<br />
were going to be available for the<br />
opening round of the Plunket<br />
Shield. With Canterbury and<br />
ND stacked with Black Caps<br />
at Hagley Oval – including<br />
captain Kane Williamson – it<br />
seems nothing short of a wasted<br />
opportunity not to start the<br />
game at the weekend rather than<br />
on Monday.<br />

MISSED OPPORTUNITY: If you’re unemployed or on the<br />
pension you can see 10 current Black Caps including Trent<br />
Boult in action at Hagley Oval today.<br />
the weekend was an absolute<br />
belter. <strong>The</strong> thought of spending<br />
Sunday in the sun on the grass<br />
embankment watching three<br />
of the world’s top 10 ranked<br />
test batsmen and two of the 10<br />
bowlers is tantalising, not to<br />
mention it wouldn’t cost a cent.<br />
It’s just as much a loss to Joe<br />
Public hunting for something<br />
to do in Christchurch at the<br />
weekend other than joining<br />
every other person in the city<br />
at the latest nook and cranny<br />
which has opened up as part of<br />
the rebuild in the CBD.<br />
On Monday, Nicholls and<br />
Cole McConchie both scored<br />
centuries during a partnership<br />
of 182, which set a new<br />
Canterbury fourth-wicket<br />
record. <strong>The</strong>ir stand broke a mark<br />
of 181 that was set by Vaughn<br />
Brown and Latham’s father Rod<br />
more than 30 years ago.<br />
It’s a shame the milestone<br />
couldn’t be celebrated in front of<br />
at least a couple of hundred who<br />
would have surely wandered<br />
down to see witness the high<br />
profile Black Caps making a rare<br />
domestic cricket appearance.<br />
Instead it was met with the<br />
applause of around 30 purists<br />
who had ventured down from<br />
their over-60s units with the<br />
quintessential camping chair<br />
and <strong>The</strong>rmos flask.<br />
I’m all for the instalment of<br />
lights at Hagley Oval – which is<br />
going through public feedback<br />
currently – however, I can’t help<br />
but be cynical about the fact<br />
we’re going to such lengths to<br />
gain an audience in India when<br />
the powers that be can’t put a<br />
little more thought into making<br />
our domestic game more<br />
accessible.

Haul those big loads in a Toyota Hiace<br />
IF YOU ARE a courier driver in<br />
Christchurch, the chances are<br />
you are probably driving a Toyota<br />
Hiace van.<br />
I can say that with absolute<br />
confidence, for several years <strong>Star</strong><br />
Media was located opposite a<br />
courier company and there was<br />
a constant succession of Hiaces<br />
arriving and departing.<br />
Sure, there were other brands<br />
but they were few. Toyota has<br />
captured that market well and if<br />
you take into account the number<br />
that are used by tradies and companies,<br />
New Zealand has been a<br />
lucrative market for Toyota.<br />
For those who like the square,<br />
boxy shape of Hiace, don’t be<br />
disappointed, there’s no sign of it<br />
ending its lifecycle anytime soon.<br />
However, there’s also a new Hiace<br />
on the market, and the two will<br />
dovetail in the light commercial<br />
segment.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new van is quite a departure<br />
from what we see as<br />
the traditional Hiace, its nose<br />
protrudes from the front, housing<br />
the engine which sits forward and<br />
under the windscreen line.<br />
However, don’t be fooled, the<br />
engine still sits longitudinally and<br />
Motoring<br />
Ross Kiddie<br />
drives through the rear wheels,<br />
Toyota haven’t yet been lured into<br />
making the Hiace front-wheeldrive<br />
like some of its rivals.<br />
<strong>The</strong> newcomer arrives here in<br />
five variations, four of those are ZR<br />
specification, panel and glass vans,<br />
and a 10-seat mini bus. <strong>The</strong>re’s also<br />
a long-wheelbase ZX variant.<br />
This evaluation encompasses<br />
the ZR glass van and the jumbo<br />
ZX, the latter is simply enormous<br />
at almost 6m, and although it was<br />
a single side door model only,<br />
those landing from September<br />
will have twin sliders, one on<br />
each side.<br />
<strong>The</strong> ZX’s cargo carrying space<br />
is massive, it’s a monster in terms<br />
of presence, it won’t fit into a<br />
standard car park space, and<br />
every time you are leaving the vehicle<br />
you need to be conscious of<br />
how much of the planet you are<br />
claiming. I took the ZX into the<br />
New World supermarket car park<br />
in Wigram and had to use four<br />
parks so that it wouldn’t block<br />
any accessways.<br />
<strong>The</strong> ZR on the other hand, is<br />
a lot more manageable; at 5.2m<br />
it’s not quite so selfish, but the<br />
benefit of both variants is that the<br />
TOYOTA HIACE: Short or long-wheelbase models.<br />
load space is cavernous.<br />
Generally I’ve been pretty lucky<br />
having load bearing vehicles<br />
coinciding with items that have<br />
needed to be transported. During<br />
my time with both Hiaces,<br />
I managed to use them both for<br />
carrying duties – green waste<br />
to the recycling centre and an<br />
unexpected shopping expedition<br />
where my wife and I bought several<br />
bulky items of furniture, the<br />
latter devoured easily in the ZX.<br />
Apart from its voluminous<br />
cargo carrying space – 6200-litres<br />
(ZR) and 9300-litres (ZX) – the<br />
new Hiace stands out for its<br />
comparative high comfort levels,<br />
once you’re in either of the two<br />
front seats, bearing in mind it<br />
is a bit of climb up, support and<br />
cushioning is in abundance. One<br />
of the benefits of the engine sitting<br />
forward is the amount of in-cabin<br />
space and quiet operating manner.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are plenty of knick-knack<br />
• Price – Toyota Hiace ZR,<br />
$44,990 (ZX, $50,990)<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
5265mm (5915mm); width,<br />
1950mm; height, 1990mm<br />
(2280mm)<br />
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />
rear-wheel-drive,<br />
2755cc, 130kW, 450Nm,<br />
six-speed manual or<br />
automatic<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 10.1sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 7.5l/100km<br />
trays, drink holders and pockets<br />
for all those essentials that the<br />
business operator would need in<br />
his/her daily travels.<br />
Along with a new look, the<br />
new Hiace also gets a new engine.<br />
It’s the 2.8-litre four-cylinder<br />
turbocharged diesel that first<br />
found its way here in Hilux three<br />
or four years ago. It stands out for<br />
its power, efficiency and smooth<br />
operation. A lot of the latter is<br />
attributed to its positioning out of<br />
the cabin proper, it must be said<br />
refinement in the new Hiace is<br />
remarkable.<br />
Power is rated at 130kW and<br />
450Nm, it needs those healthy<br />
outputs, even empty the Hiace is<br />
tubby at 2235kg (ZR) and 2305kg<br />
(ZX), but I’m sure that with a<br />
load on there will be plenty of<br />
power for all applications.<br />
On the subject of figures, one of<br />
the most important to any owner/<br />
operator will be that of fuel usage.<br />
From my experience of this<br />
power plant in the Hilux it is a bit<br />
of a fuel miser.<br />
Toyota claims a 7.5-litre per<br />
100km (38mpg) combined cycle<br />
average for the ZR in manual form,<br />
as tested. <strong>The</strong> ZX automatic is listed<br />
at 8.4l/100km (34mpg) which I<br />
would expect to be quite achievable<br />
depending on driving style.<br />
Yes, it must also be remembered<br />
that six-speed manual and<br />
automatic transmission options<br />
are still offered in the Hiace<br />
range, the ZR was a manual,<br />
and for those who like manuals<br />
I can report it is a beauty with<br />
slick shifts and clutch action that<br />
doesn’t tax the leg.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Hiace also qualifies for a<br />
five-star Australasian New Car<br />
Assessment Program safety rating<br />
and that is mega in this part of<br />
the market.<br />

Tips for first home buyers<br />
Struggling to get on the property ladder and feeling fed<br />
up? You’re not alone. Real Estate Authority (REA) research<br />
has found that more than half of all first home buyers – even<br />
the ones who successfully buy a property – find the process<br />
stressful and overwhelming.<br />
“We know it’s hard for people when they’re trying to buy<br />
their first home – it’s a complex legal process and a huge<br />
financial deal,” says REA chief executive Kevin Lampen-<br />
Smith.<br />
1. SORT OUT YOUR FINANCES<br />
You’ll already know that saving is a big part of getting ready<br />
to buy, but do you know what else you need to do?<br />
Getting financial advice from a qualified advisor could be a<br />
useful step in your planning. Owning a property means you’re<br />
responsible for all the maintenance and repairs – and for<br />
paying rates and insurance.<br />
“It’s also a good idea to get conditional pre-approved<br />
finance arranged so you can move quickly when you spot<br />
a property you really like,” Lampen-Smith says. “Having<br />
conditional pre-approval lets you know the price range you<br />
can buy in and it shows agents and sellers that you’re a serious<br />
buyer. It’s also crucial if you’re planning to bid on a property<br />
at auction.”<br />
Don’t forget to explore ways that you might be able to<br />
get help from the Government. <strong>The</strong>re are various forms of<br />
assistance available if you’re a KiwiSaver member, buying in<br />
certain areas, want to buy a former Housing New Zealand<br />
property or are Māori and want to live on your ancestral land.<br />
2. NEEDS VS WANTS<br />
Many first home buyers discover a big gap between what<br />
they’d like to buy and what they can afford when they first<br />
start looking.<br />
“Sit down and write a tight list of what your absolute musthaves<br />
are, then work out what you’re willing to compromise<br />
on,” Lampen-Smith says.<br />
If you’re thinking about pets and children arriving in the<br />
short-to-medium term, think about how these will change<br />
your needs. Will you need to be near to childcare or schools?<br />
Will you need a fenced property?<br />
3. DO YOUR HOMEWORK<br />
Don’t let your desperation to find somewhere blind you to<br />
a property’s faults.<br />
“Do as much research as you can about a property,”<br />
Lampen-Smith says. “That means getting a lawyer on board<br />
to make sure all the paperwork is in order and to help you<br />
understand if there are any issues. We also recommend getting<br />
a qualified building inspector who has professional indemnity<br />
insurance to prepare a comprehensive report on the property.”<br />
If you’re worried about paying for this kind of report before<br />
you make an offer (due to a lack of time or funds), you can<br />
make them a condition of your offer.<br />
4. RECOGNISE YOUR LIMITS<br />
Buying a ‘doer-upper’ is a Kiwi tradition, especially for<br />
first-home buyers, but we’re not all blessed with the right<br />
skills. Factor this in before you make an offer on a ‘renovator’s<br />
dream’.<br />
“Getting professionals in to help will cost more, but it will<br />
also make the process faster. It may also be better in the long<br />
term when it comes to selling the property if any work has<br />
been done properly with the right consents.”<br />
