WEBSITE
SHUT DOWN
• By Sophie Cornish
A WEBSITE which identified
high school students and
made allegations of sexual and
physical assault and under-age
sex has been shut down.
Netsafe has confirmed it received
four complaints last week
about the anonymous gossip
website, chchgossipgirlxoxo.
Content on the website included
allegations of both physical
and sexual assault, names of
students and schools, under-age
sex, pregnancy and bullying.
One post said a male student
had sex with a 13-year-old female.
Students from Christchurch
Girls’ High, Marian College,
St Bede’s College, Shirley Boys’
High, Rangi Ruru, Villa Maria,
Christchurch Boys’ High and
Hagley College were mentioned
on, chchgossipgirlxoxo.
Said CGHS principal Christine
O’Neill: “The school was
recently made aware of the Gossip
Girls’ website and worked
pro-actively with Netsafe in
regards to it. We are unaware
who the authors of the site are as
it is anonymous.”
Netsafe chief executive Martin
Cocker said it advised the
website’s development platform,
Wix.com to contact the creator
of chchgossipgirlxoxo to remove
the harmful content, which
breached the Harmful Digital
Communications Act 2015.
“For this process, we generally
allow a couple of days. In this
case, it looks like this has happened,”
Mr Cocker said.
The site was still active on
Friday, but removed by Tuesday.

Thursday October 31 2019 The Star
• By Sophie Cornish
NOT ONE but two books about
Kieran Read will be launched in
Christchurch on November 22.
The retiring All Blacks captain
will appear at an event to release
Kieran Read Straight 8 The
Autobiography at Canterbury
University’s new UCSA building.
And on the same night,
Kieran Read Straight 8 by Scotty
Stevenson will also be launched.
Stevenson, a Spark Sport
commentator for the RWC, will
also be at the event, where signed
copies of the
books will be
available.
Read was
unable to discuss
the launch of
the books when
contacted by
The Star as he
was focused on
the All Blacks
third and fourth
place RWC match against Wales
tomorrow night.
The two-time RWC winner will
call time on his All Blacks career
after the match. He plans to move
to Japan with his wife, Bridget,
and their three children to play
for Japanese club Toyota Verblitz
on a one-year contract.
His autobiography features an
open and honest account of his
rugby career, including insights
into the unique pressure around
taking over as All Blacks captain
from the now-retired Richie
McCaw. He
discusses the
emotional toll
injuries and
defeats have had
on his career
and the “intense
experience of
representing a
rugby-obsessed
nation”.
Read also
gives his take
on the various
personalities and
misdemeanours
of his teammates,
coaches and opponents.
The No 8 underwent surgery in
2016 on his wrist and on his lower
spine in 2017.
Born in Papakura, Auckland,
in 1985, Read went on to win the
RWC in 2011 and in 2015, and is
the third most capped All Blacks
player of all time with 125 tests.
He has captained the All Blacks
since 2015 and was named New
Zealand player of the year in 2010
and 2013, and World Rugby player
of the year in 2013. Read was a
three-time Super Rugby winner
with the Crusaders in 2008, 2017
and 2018, and accumulated 145
caps for the team.
Stevenson has written several
biographical books for other
professional sportsmen, including
Cory Jane: Winging It (2015), The
Kiwi Pair (with Hamish Bond
and Eric Murray, 2016), Beaver
(with Stephen Donald, 2017) and
Crocky: Wyatt Crockett (2018).

Riverside Market boosts other city eateries
• By Louis Day
THE OPENING of the
Riverside Market has coincided
with a record turnover at Little

“Little High has

he said.
“It has been a continued
trend since it opened, but those

what the impact was

Mr Peebles said
businesses surrounding
the Riverside Market
are also experiencing an

“The whole idea is for
Riverside to bring more people
into the city and we know it has
had a massive positive impact
on the surrounding businesses.”
Original Sin bar owner Max
Bremner said there has been an
increase in turnover of 15 per
cent at the Oxford Tce bar for
the “lunch period and over the
weekends.”
Hawker Roll manager Deepak

restaurant has also experienced a
five per cent increase in turnover
since the market opened.

It comes after another page on
social media platform Instagram,
rolly_colly_scraps, featured three
videos of Rolleston College students
fighting.
It had 150 followers before
it was deleted on Tuesday. The
videos included a male student
being punched in the face and
another of two female students
pulling at each other’s hair.
Yesterday, a video showing a
fight between young teenagers
in the Countdown car park on
Moorhouse Ave circulated on
Facebook.
It showed a teenage boy being
punched to the ground and then
kicked and punched while on the
ground.
The website, chchgossipgirlxoxo,
which made its first post on
October 7, mirrored popular television
series Gossip Girl, where
people send anonymous tips of
‘gossip’ which are then posted
online.
“Welcome to the new and
improved Christchurch Gossip

scandals and big news!” said the
website.
One post named a student
claiming he had sexually assaulted
someone, while saying
the student was like R. Kelly, an
American R&B singer who is
currently facing more than 15
charges of sexual assault, abuse
of a minor and making indecent

Another post named a female

But the project backfired when
younger students began sending
messages to the accounts, called
Merivale Gossip Girl unaware
the accounts were operated and
controlled by teachers.
The school received a backlash
from both parents and Netsafe,
as the younger students reported
feeling tricked by the fake profiles.
Mr Cocker said four complaints
were made by members
of the public last week about
chchgossipgirlxoxo.
“Netsafe can’t define something
as an offence under the
Act. It can only be defined as
an offence by the court. We can
determine that it would likely
be one, and then advise people
accordingly. We advised them
(Wix.com) that it is the right
thing to do (remove harmful
content),” he said.
“We know for certain
these sites can be incredibly
damaging and there
are volumes of research
available about online bullying
and its immediate
impact and how it harms
someone.
Martin Cocker “It can cause young
people to disengage from
school, groups and society. Often
in some cases depending on the
person, it could lead to self-harm.
“The impact of this type of bullying
can affect people later in life
right, through to middle-age.
“It is serious, people think
these types of website are fun and
they can be fun, but often they
can quickly spiral into abuse and
bullying.”

School fights online
• By Devon Bolger
POLICE ARE investigating
an Instagram account which
featured videos of high school
students fighting.
Three videos of students fighting
at Rolleston College were
posted on the account rolly_
colly_scraps which had 150
followers before it was deleted.
Sergeant Phil Bayne said
police are seeking advice from
its digital forensics team.
“We will then ascertain if
there’s anything we can do
about it. The investigation is
around what the legality is and
what police can do in regards to
it,” he said.
Rolleston College principal
Steve Saville said the school
have been made aware of the
account and has been communicating
with police
He said two of the videos are
from historic incidents and the
third one happened last week.
“The incident was dealt with
at the time but no action has
been taken yet because we
are still exploring it,” said Mr
Saville.
“One of the videos is from
an incident in term 1 when a
student from another school
came on to the grounds. That
was reported quite widely at the
time.”
Earlier this year a teenager
disguised herself as a Rolleston
College student by wearing a
school jacket and entered
the grounds unnoticed
before attacking a 13-year-old
student.

FIVE SUBURBS have been
outlined as areas of priority for
roading improvements in a city
council report.
Riccarton, Richmond, New
Brighton, Linwood/Woolston
and the wider Spreydon/
Somerfield/Waltham/
Beckenham areas have been
identified as the priorities
in an investment case to the
Government.
The investment case will
ask for $40 million from the
Christchurch regeneration
acceleration fund for roading
and transport improvements.
If city councillors approve the
investment case in their first
official meeting today, it will be
sent to the Treasury for approval.
The case proposes using
$25 million to $30 million
on improvements to the five
suburban areas, which will focus
on enhancing “accessibility,
safety and asset condition.”
Improvements to Linwood
and Woolston are estimated
to cost $5,103,500, $6,677,500
for New Brighton, $6,990,000
for Riccarton, $5,879,500 for
Richmond and $5,118,000 for
the wider Spreydon/Somerfield,
Waltham/Beckenham area.
City councillor Mike
Davidson, who was deputy
chairman of the infrastructure
and environment committee
last term, said the cash injection
would have a significant impact
on the city’s regeneration.
“It’s well over 100 streets that
are going to benefit from this,”
he said.
A further $5 million to $7
million is proposed to accelerate
targeted safety improvements to
reduce death and serious injury
crashes.
Another $5 million to
$8 million is proposed for
improving bus priority measures
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Roading priorities listed
REPAIRS NEEDED: Five Christchurch suburbs have been
prioritised for roading improvements in a city council
report.
on key public transport routes
across the city.
The investment case said
without a cash injection traffic
congestion would increase
and “undermine the city’s
regeneration.”
During a workshop between
the city council, Government
officials and the New Zealand
Transport Agency last
year, it was noted in spite
of a “significant repair and
replacement programme” the
city still had a way to go to
“provide attractive and safe”
modes of transport to residents
and visitors.
The report also stated about
300km of the 3000km of roading
owned by the city council was
severely damaged or needed
to be dug up for repairs to
other infrastructure after the
earthquakes.
But while the city council
and Government spent $2.2
billion on a five-and-a-half-year
programme to fix horizontal
infrastructure, the report states
many assets need to be repaired
over the next 30 years to bring
them back up to pre-quake levels.
The Christchurch regeneration
acceleration fund was first
announced by Labour in 2017 as
part of its pre-election Plan for
Cantebury to accelerate recovery
from the earthquakes.
The $300 million fund was
intended to repair horizontal
infrastructure and advance key
regeneration projects, such as the
mulit-use arena.
If the $40 million investment
case for transport improvements
is approved with the $40
million proposal for the
regeneration of the Otakaro
Avon River Corridor, it would
leave $220 million for the multiuse
arena which is awaiting an
investment case for councillors
to endorse.

Restrictions
on water
use possible
• By Louis Day
ALMOST HALF of the city’s
residents could be put under
water restrictions in the new year.
City council head of three waters
and waste Helen Beaumont
said it anticipates introducing
level one water restrictions for at
least three to four weeks during
January to the city’s central water
zone, which accounts for 42 per
cent of Christchurch residents.
She said there is a possibility
the restriction period could extend
into February.
However, for the restrictions
to go ahead, it will need the approval
of city councillors in their
first official meeting today.
Level one restrictions mean
hoses, sprinklers and garden irrigation
systems are permitted on
alternate days.
This means if a person lives at
an odd-numbered address, they
can water their garden on odd
dates, and a person living at an
even-numbered address can water
their garden on even dates.
City council staff have
recommended the restrictions
to support ongoing work on
the water supply network and
to allow the drilling of the new
well in Papanui and repairs to a
Cashmere reservoir.

Today a new film, Hillary:
Ocean to Sky is released.
It features Redcliffs
resident Jim Wilson, one
of Sir Edmund Hillary’s
best friends. Reporter
Sophie Cornish speaks to
him about the friendship
and a trip of a lifetime
IT WAS in a Dunedin flat over
a feed of potatoes and mutton
that Jim Wilson met Sir Edmund
Hillary in 1962.
As a 26-year-old relatively
inexperienced mountaineer, Mr
Wilson was in awe.
“I can remember our mutual
friend, Michael, brought him to
our flat in Dunedin and forever
after, he (Sir Ed) always claimed
we fed him a whole sack of potatoes
and a whole side of mutton,
but he was exaggerating, it was
only a quarter of mutton.
“We were hugely in awe of Ed,
but he just immediately put us
at ease. He was a lovely, friendly
man. We were mountaineers,
and he was the first mountaineer
who had made the first descent
of Everest (1953). He was very
famous,” Mr Wilson said.
The very next year the pair,
who soon became close friends,
embarked on their first expedition
together to Nepal, Sir Ed’s
schoolhouse expedition.
“He would persuade young
mountaineers to come with him
to Nepal. Well, he didn’t persuade
us, he invited us and we would
leap at the chance.”
Today, a movie starring both
Mr Wilson and Sir Ed will
showcase and recount their most
dangerous expedition, navigating
the length of the Ganges, a
2500km river that flows through
India and Bangladesh, then
climbing a peak above the river’s
headwaters.
But it’s not the first time filmmaker,
Michael Dillion, has made
the film.

The Blind Care Company has been
cleaning and repairing the region’s blinds
for over 60 years. Those six decades
have seen changes in both fashion and
technology. Styles have ranged from
festooned fabric swags to straightforward
and still popular holland roller blinds,
from vertical to horizontal slat systems,
and in every colour or pattern popular
since the 1960s.
Whatever your style, the Blind Care
Company has the expertise to keep your
window treatments looking fresh and
working efficiently. Using only ecofriendly
chemicals, the build-up of dirt,
dust, grease, nicotine and smoke residue
can be removed so that your blinds
smell fresh and are restored to their
original glory. The company can repair
blinds also, having a huge range of parts
in stock. And if you want something
completely new, a great range of blinds is
available for purchase.
The company prides itself on efficient
service, providing a fast turn-around,
with most work taking one or two
days, and a same day cleaning option is
available. It makes it as easy as possible
for clients. The Cashel Street location
couldn’t be more convenient and a pickup
and drop-off service is available. 150
blinds per day can be cleaned at this site.
A cut-down and size alteration service
is available in order that the blinds you
bought are a perfect fit.
They are experts in their field with a
huge amount of experience to draw on. In
fact, all their staff has been on board for
at least 8 years, and many up to 20 years.
Whatever the job involves, they will work
hard to make sure it gets done.
In 1979, Dillion released From
the Ocean to the Sky based on the
experiences he and the crew had
in 1977, during Sir Ed’s Ocean to
Sky expedition.
Now, the remade film will
weave in the original footage
while the men still alive from the
expedition, who are now in their
60s, 70s and 80s, recount the
events with different insight and
wisdom.
When approached by Dillion
about the re-make, Mr Wilson,
now 82-years-old, admits he
thought Dillion was crazy.
“He interviewed all us survivors,
I thought it was a crazy
idea. We old folk can hardly
remember our names, let alone
what happened 43 years ago.
“But, when prompted, I could
remember virtually everything.
It was the highlight of our lives,
with Ed, driving jet boats up this
sacred river in India,” Mr Wilson
said.
With barely any training, Sir
Ed took Mr Wilson as one of the
jet boat drivers for the trip.
But that’s just the way he liked
it, Mr Wilson said.

good idea to take a novice jet boat

Nine years earlier Mr Wilson

“If he knew or at least thought
that you had done your best, even
if your best was a total catastrophe
that it was in this case, it wasn’t even
a question of forgiving you, he just
accepted it,” Mr Wilson said.
Mr Wilson feared he would have
“difficulty saying anything meaningful”
when he heard of the film’s
re-make.
“But his questions (Dillion) were
so good and he drew an enormous
amount out of us about how much
we loved Ed particularly when
we were talking about bringing
him down from the camp and we
thought he was going to die. He
really brought out of us the tension
and unity of the group and effort we
were putting in to try and save Ed’s
life. I found it quite moving seeing
it again.”
The movie also features scenes
of Sir Ed visiting the crash site,
where his wife Louise and daughter
Belinda, were killed in a plane crash
near Kathmandu in 1975. Sir Ed
blamed himself for the disaster.
“He’s woven in these reflections of
ours, 42 years later. We loved him,
we would have gone anywhere with
him and done anything for him,”
Mr Wilson said.
With his wife Ann, Mr Wilson
has lived in Redcliffs for 54 years
and is now retired and spends his
time with his grandchildren, playing
tennis and e-biking.
“It’s a wonderful period of life,”
he said.

CRITICISM about
unprofessional counselling and
lengthy wait-lists has prompted
Canterbury University to
consider changes to its Health
Centre.
Student magazine Canta says
an overwhelming number of
students have been leaving the
free on-campus counselling
feeling worse-off, after being
told to try harder to get better, or
feeling dismissed before they’re
ready to stop counselling.
After writer Frankie
Desmond had her own “negative
experience” at the counselling
service, she asked other students
to share their thoughts on it,
good or bad.
One person shared a positive
story but 12 others described
feeling judged, dismissed or
uncomfortable during recent
counselling sessions, including
a woman driven to panic attacks
by her treatment.
“One person who requested
a female counsellor . . . was
told she would get a female
counsellor, she walked in and it
was a male counsellor. People
have had very inappropriate
quotes [made] when they went
in to deal with statutory rape.
People were told: ‘You’re not

cops criticism
trying hard enough, try harder
to get better,’ that kind of thing,”
she said.
This year students paid a
collective $499,000 for five fulltime
health centre counsellors,
extra staff during exam times,
and a triage counsellor being
trialled this year.
In a written statement, the
university said it had upped
the health centre’s resources
each year since 2017 and
students who declare urgent
needs are seen by nurses or GPs
if there’s no counsellors readily
available.
It also detailed other
changes being made because
of feedback and was urging the
complainants to come forward.
A spokesperson said they
hoped to make the triage
counsellor permanent, to make
sure students on the wait-list
were safe and provide interim
assistance, and that counsellors
were designing a questionnaire
to gather anonymous feedback
from every client.
The health centre’s medical
director, Joan Allardyce, said
the criticism was disappointing
and surprising, as it didn’t match
feedback given directly to the
health centre.

Justice precinct dispute in court
EVIDENCE SWORN in court
details how Fletcher Building’s
relationship with its partners
on the $300 million central
city justice precinct soured as
the project ran over time and
budget.
Fletcher is being sued by
utilities contractor Electrix,
which says while it was paid $21
million for its work, it should get
another $7.5 million for the job
it did.
The NZX-listed builder
is counter-suing, saying it
overpaid Electrix by about $8
million. Fletcher claims Electrix
misrepresented the job it could
do.
In spite of opposition from
Fletcher, Justice Matthew
Palmer granted access to
witnesses’ briefs of evidence to
enable reporting on the case,
which started earlier this month.
Electrix says the parties never
agreed on a subcontract price
but it should have got $28.8
million on the basis of quantum
meruit, the legal doctrine which
says you should get paid for what
the job is worth.
Fletcher says there was a
partly oral and partly written
agreement the electrical work
could be done for $15 million
plus GST. The project for the
Ministry of Justice was one
of several that contributed to
SOURED: Fletcher Building and Electrix are in a dispute over
the $300 million Christchurch Justice and Emergency Services
Precinct.

nearly $1 billion of losses for
Fletcher’s Building + Interiors
unit over an 18-month period.
Documents before the High
Court at Auckland show how
Electrix scrambled to find
contractors for the project,
was pressured by Fletcher’s
managers, and how Beca left the
project two years before it was
completed.
According to the evidence
from Electrix, Beca – which
was subcontracting for Opus
International – was removed
from the project after it insisted
on clinging to its original
electrical designs.
Electrix says since the
electrical design was
rejected by the ministry “it
was obvious to all involved
that the parties were operating
in a situation of considerable
uncertainty.”
Evidence sworn by Electrix
manager Phillip Werrett says
pressure from Fletcher to
have more men on site was
“relentless.” The company claims
once liquidated damages were
being levied in February 2017,
Fletcher pressured it to have
more manpower even if workers
stood idle at times.
“No matter how many
people we had on-site – and
in mid-2017 we had up to 75 –
[Fletcher] always wanted more,
even though they could not
always be used efficiently due
to unavailable work faces or
constraints on site,” Mr Werrett
says in his brief.
The evidence said to meet
client inspection and public
opening dates, Fletcher regularly
requested Electrix install
temporary lights so areas looked
finished.
“This was incredibly wasteful
and inefficient. Electrix would
have to source temporary lights,
install and then later remove
them, with the associated need
to rip out and then re-install
ceilings or wall,” Mr Werrett’s
brief says.
He also claimed the building
was not water-tight, making it
difficult to do electrical work in.
Mr Werrett’s evidence was
that Fletcher staff were pretty
unhappy by the time the project
reached practical competition
in 2017 and, given they knew
their company’s high-rise
construction unit known as
Building + Interiors was being
disestablished, “their interest
and commitment to the project
was non-existent.”
Fletcher’s Simon Chambers,
who was the overall manager
for the project, says its demands
were not unreasonable and “they
do not become unreasonable just
because Electrix had capability
issues.
“My strong feeling is that
Electrix has not delivered their
services well or efficiently,” his
evidence said.
This was reiterated by Fletcher
executive Jeff Wilson who said
in his brief “I would close by
saying that Electrix significantly
oversold their capability and
under-delivered in engineering
solutions.”
Fletcher says the end claim of
Electrix of almost $30 million is
“so wholly out of any reasonable
expectations that it has been
misled and been denied the
timely opportunity to secure a
better outcome.”
The evidence of the defence
points out that Electrix
executives missed key progress
meetings and the sticking point
was growing mistrust between
the parties.
The case hearing is anticipated
to finish at the end of the week.

MOTORISTS HAVE been fined
more than a quarter-million
dollars this year for driving and
parking in special vehicle lanes.
From the start of this year
to the end of last week the city
council has raked in $378,530
from 5147 special vehicle lane
infringement fines.
The fines include driving or
parking in bus or cycle lanes.
The $378,530 collected so far
this year is an increase from the
$263,120 collected from 2821
fines last year.
Motorists can be fined $150
for driving more than 50m along
a bus lane, those who park in a
bus lane between 7am and 9am
or 3pm and 6pm can receive a
$60 fine and be billed for any
towing costs.
The city council has enforced
parking and driving in special
vehicle lanes since 2009.
However, between 2012 and
2017 it only issued infringements
for parking in special vehicle
lanes after the cameras which
monitor them were damaged in
the 2011 earthquakes.
City council transport operations
manager Steffan Thomas
said the city council special
vehicle lanes were enforced to
discourage motorists from using
them during peak times.
“This improves bus travel
times and ensures our public
transport service remains safe
and efficient. Cycle lanes provide
a safer environment for cyclists,
rather than competing for road
space with other vehicles,” he
said.

A PROPERTY manager stole
a rental payment of more than
$100,000 to pay off his debt and
told his Christchurch client he
would pay him back over five

The 69-year-old Auckland
real estate agent, who has
interim name suppression, told
the director of the company
involved he wanted the $109,180
treated as a loan, which he
would pay back over five years at
a five per cent interest rate, Stuff
reported yesterday.
Police prosecutor Steve Burdes
said the agent had received a
$109,180 top-up rental payment,
which should have been paid
to the director of a company
that owned the Christchurch
property.
The victim refused and
requested the money be paid
immediately, and terminated all
business with the man.
The agent then paid him the
money that remained in his
possession – $11,000 – but there
have been no further payments
since the offending in November
2017.

Real estate agent
convicted after
stealing $109k
He emailed the victim to say
he had used the money to pay
his own personal debts.
A charge of theft by failing
to account for the money
was laid and the man pleaded
guilty in the district court
yesterday.
Judge Tom Gilbert remanded
him in custody for sentencing on
January 28, with an assessment
of his suitability for home or
community detention.
He was granted bail, and
referred the case for a possible
restorative justice meeting with
the victim.
Police were seeking
reparations of $98,180 for
the money which remains
unpaid.
Defence counsel Jessica
Bibby asked for interim name
suppression for the man on the
grounds of extreme hardship to
an ex-partner.
She provided documentation
to Judge Gilbert, who said the
present application “did not
come close” to grounds for
suppression, but he would allow
it to be argued at sentencing.

Cases with no body or weapon
Murder prosecutions without a body or weapon are rare but not unheard of in New Zealand. Police recently arrested and charged David
Benbow for the murder of Christchurch carpenter Michael McGrath, two years and four months after he disappeared. Mr McGrath’s body
has not been found and police have not revealed whether a murder weapon was uncovered. Sophie Cornish looks back at some of the
biggest cases which have this in common
37th person
hanged in NZ
MORE THAN 142 years ago,
the first ever murder conviction
without a body or weapon in New
Zealand’s history took place.
William Henry Woodgate,
50, was the 37th person in New
Zealand to be hanged and the
last ever to be hanged in the
Marlborough Sounds.
He was believed to have
been the father of the child he
murdered and the mother was his
niece.
Susan Woodgate was the
daughter of Woodgate’s brother,
Robert.
Woodgate was found guilty
during a trial at the Supreme
Court of New Zealand in
December 1876 after the jury
deliberated for only 55 minutes.
Although the defence argued
there was no evidence of a murder
being committed, two witnesses
testified they had seen Susan
heavily pregnant.
Susan also testified Woodgate
had threatened to smother the
newborn at birth and later told her
he had done so.
Susan’s sister, Elizabeth, testified
she had heard the cry of a baby.
Woodgate was well regarded in
the community and public outcry
over his sentence led to a petition
being sent to the governor, which
was dismissed.
The following month, on
January 25, 1877, Woodgate was
hanged in Picton.
A BODY HAS never been found
in the case of Deane Fuller-
Sandys, 21, who disappeared in
August 1989.
Ten years later, Stephen Stone
and Gail Maney were found
guilty of his murder, which was
drug-related.
Mr Fuller-Sandys had planned
to go fishing and authorities
thought he had been swept
out to sea after his car was
discovered at Whatipu Beach in
West Auckland.
However, five days after he
disappeared, Leah Romany
Stephens, a 20-year-old sex
worker also disappeared.
Her skeletal remains weren’t
discovered until three years later
in a nearby forest.
It was not until police received
a tip-off years later that the two
deaths, known as the Larnoch
Rd murders, were linked and
Mr Fuller-Sandys disappearance
was upgraded to a murder
inquiry.

IN DECEMBER 1990, David
Tamihere was convicted of the
murder of a Swedish couple in
a Coromandel forest without
either of the bodies being found.
Heidi Paakkonen, 21, and her
fiance Sven Hoglin, 23, went
missing while tramping in 1989.
The largest ever land-based
search in New Zealand was
undertaken in an attempt to
find the couple.
Tamihere was convicted
following testimonies from
three prison inmates, which
resulted in a sentence of life
imprisonment.
Mr Hoglin’s body was
discovered in 1991. The
discovery revealed evidence
that contradicted the police
case against Tamihere, who
maintained his innocence and
filed a series of unsuccessful
appeals. He was released on

given life sentences.
Stone was also convicted
of the rape and murder of
Ms Stephens and two other
people were convicted of being
accessories and helping to
dispose of Mr Fuller-Sandys’
body.
The case was unusual because
of the decade-long gap between
the crime and conviction and
the lack of forensic evidence and
the legal immunity which was
granted to key witnesses.
The case was contentious
because Maney continued to
state her innocence and that she
never met Mr Fuller-Sandys.

testified have since revoked their
original trial testimonies.

THE DISAPPEARANCE of Ben
Smart and Olivia Hope in January
1998 became one of the most
high profile murder cases in New
Zealand history.
The remains of Mr Smart,
21, and Miss Hope, 17, (right)
were never recovered after they
disappeared while celebrating
in the Malborough Sounds on
New Year’s Eve.
The friends
were part of a
group of 1500
party-goers at
the Furneaux
Lodge.
As the party
wound down,
there was no
room on an already overcrowded
yacht, chartered by Miss Hope
and her sister, Amelia, so the pair
caught a water taxi, driven by Guy
Wallace, back to shore in order to
find a place to sleep.
This became the last ever
confirmed sighting of the couple.
During the water taxi trip, the
pair accepted an invitation from
a lone man to stay on his yacht,

man to be Picton resident Scott

A detective on the case
established Horry’s true identity
and convinced the Auckland
Crown solicitor the case was
strong enough to go to trial.
However, Horry was not
arrested until 1951, when the
circumstantial evidence was
deemed sufficient. He was
released from prison in 1967.

Mr Wallace, being the last
person to see the pair alive,
became the centre of the
investigation. He said he and
other key witnesses were “treated
like criminals” and called liars
by police who “just had to get
someone.” He believed if Watson
wasn’t involved, he would have
been pinned with the murders.
Watson has 48 previous
criminal convictions as a teenager.
But he has always maintained his
innocence. All attempts to appeal
his conviction failed.

OPINION
The coming week
in our history
October 31, 2015 – The All
Blacks defeated Australia 34-17
at Twickenham to become the
first team to win back-to-back
Rugby World Cup competitions.
November 1, 1898 – Oldage
pensions Act becomes law.
The Act gave a small meanstested
pension to elderly people
with few assets who were ‘of
good moral character’.
November 2, 1868 – New
Zealand became the first country
to regulate its time in relation to
Greenwich mean time.
November 3, 1974 – Summer
time was reintroduced on
a trial basis. Daylight saving of
one hour between October and
March was made permanent in
1975.
November 4, 1930 - New
Zealand-bred (but Australianowned)
wonder horse Phar Lap
ridden by Jimmy Pike, won the
Melbourne Cup by two lengths.
November 5, 1913 – The
‘Battle of Featherston Street’, in
downtown Wellington, saw some
of the most violent street fighting
of the 1913 Great Strike.
November 6, 1908 – Prime
Minister Sir Joseph Ward opened
the North Island main trunk
railway line.
THE DEATH of Les Green may
have closed the book on ever
solving one of the great South
Island crime mysteries – what
did happen to Ron Jorgensen?
Green was one of New Zealand’s
most notorious criminals.
He was a prolific bank robber
and had a liking for violence,
albeit his diminutive stature. He
was also suspected of murders
both in New Zealand and
Australia – the ones across the
Tasman linked to the Mr Asia
drugs syndicate.
There are people in the criminal
underworld in the decades
past who believe Green held the
key to Jorgensen’s disappearance
from Kaikoura in the mid-80s.
There are three theories over
what happened to Jorgensen,
who gained infamy for his part
in the Bassett Rd machine gun
murders in Auckland in the
1960s.
He had been paroled with
strict conditions to live with his
elderly father in his hometown
Kaikoura. It was not a place
Jorgy wanted to be. It was far too
small.
On December 17, 1984, Jorgensen’s
Mark II Cortina was
found at the bottom of a 15m sea
cliff near Kaikoura. His body
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Crim’s death rekindles Jorgy mystery
was never found.
One theory was Jorgy had
engineered his own disappearance
and had made his way by
boat to Australia, and was living
in Perth.
There were several reported
sightings of him between 1986
and 1990 in Perth, one supposedly
in the company of a former
Christchurch lawyer.
But nothing was ever substantiated.
The belief was if Jorgensen
From the

Jorgensen (right).
had made it to Australia he
would not have been able to live
a normal life and would have
certainly come to the attention
of the police at some point.
Another theory at the time
was if Jorgy had made it to
Australia, he would have got
offside with criminals there and
they would have ensured he was
never found.
The other theory was that he
did crash over the cliff near Kaikoura
and his body was swept
out to sea.
A Christchurch woman who
was in a relationship with Jorgensen
said in 2000 she believed
he plotted his own disappearance
and was still alive, somewhere.
Her theory was based on
what she says Jorgy said to her
in the weeks leading up to his
disappearance.
Years later when the disappearance
caught the attention
of the media again, police said
they believed a Christmas card
sent from Western Australia to a
woman soon after he went missing,
was from Jorgy.
And so the plot continued to
thicken as the years went by.
But in the Auckland underworld
in the 80s and the years
later, there were some key figures
who firmly believed Les Green
was the man responsible for the
disappearance.
Green had travelled south
to settle an old score, it was
believed. Green was feared
amongst criminals and settling
scores was second nature.
Leslie Maurice Green was
82 when he died in Auckland.
He may have taken the fate of a
number of people with him. Was
Jorgy one of them?

• By Jess Gibson
YOU REALLY have
to love spring in
Christchurch.
Beyond the fact it’s such
a relief to see the colour
green after weeks of living
under the world’s biggest
summer’s “coming soon”
sign, that is Christchurch,
there is a lot more to do in
the city.
On Monday, Laura and I
took advantage of the perfect
sunshine and temperature
to take Vittoria to the
Big Band Picnic in Victoria
Square. We’d taken her last
year and the music had
moved her before she could
even walk.
She had held herself up
on her pram and started,
for want of a better word,
twerking.
So we were confident she
would enjoy it and were not
disappointed.
There were so many jazz
hands and sways being
thrown about from Vittoria
that Laura and I could
eat an entire pizza without
fending off the hungering
mouth.
Possibly the fact that it
was a mushroom pizza may
have helped, but I doubt it.
Her dance moves and
obvious enjoyment were
super cute. The music
and the atmosphere even
stopped her running off
in spite of her normal
tendencies whenever we
want to sit down and relax
in a public area.
The only thing that distracted
her from the music
for any length of time were

a couple of dogs, her new
favourite animal apparently.
To celebrate how well it
was all going we decided to
take part in a century-old
Christchurch tradition and
get a treat from Ice Cream
Charlie. Having grown up
in Waikuku Beach, I’d never
actually heard of Ice Cream
Charlie until last year,
explaining why it wasn’t just
Vittoria’s first taste.
So far we’d managed to
tick off two big ticket items
from the list of stuff to do
in the city when it’s sunny.
To round out the day we
made the daring call to skip
Vittoria’s afternoon nap
and head to the Sign of the
Takahe to get the trifecta.
And a coffee.
Fortunately the gamble
paid off and the wee
trooper held her own on
all of 10 minutes of pramsleep,
lasting through the
coffees and even a walk up
to the nearby lookout. She
only got grumpy when it
was home time, and that’s
normal.
More sunshine and more
events mean more full and
fun days, so exciting times
ahead.
On another note, an
update on last week; I’d
said I was worried about
how I would fare washing,
drying and changing a toddler
on my own post-swim
classes.
In the end I managed to
avoid the whole issue by
just taking her home to
shower – genius.

maintenance
this easy checklist:
checklist:
■ Change the oil
Oil is the engine’s lifeblood that
removes contaminants, lubricates
parts and dissipates heat. That’s
why it’s important to make sure
the crankcase contains an
adequate supply of fresh oil.
Before changing the oil, run the
engine for several minutes until it
warms up. Then, stop the engine,
disconnect the spark plug and
drain the oil into apan or similar
container. Refill the crankcase with
high quality detergent oil that has a
SG/CD classification on the label.
Take the used oil to alocal
recycling center. It’s
environmentally unfriendly-and
illegal-to dump used motor oil on
the ground or into astorm drain.
■ Check the air filter
Your air-cooled engine needs a
constant supply of clean air. If your
mower engine takes adisposable
paper filter, simply replace it with a
new filter. If the engine requires a
foam-type filter, remove the
sponge from the filter assembly,
soak it in apan of warm water and
squeeze it dry. Then apply afew
drops of clean oil into the sponge
and place it back in the filter
assembly.
■ Use fresh fuel
Gasoline turns stale after about
60 days and can form gum in your
engine’s carburetor, resulting in
expensive repairs. Eliminate the
problem by routinely filling your
engine’s tank with fresh fuel. If gas
must remain in the tank for a
prolonged period of time, add a
fuel stabilizer to keep it fresh and
to ensure aclean fuel system that
leads to easier starting.
It’s SERVICE: time to service Change your lawn the mower oil and sharpen the blade. the blade.
■ Sharpen the blade
Think about what adull razor
does to your face or legs when
shaving. Similarly, adull mower
blade can bruise, bend and
damage your lawn, making it
susceptible to disease. After
disconnecting the spark plug,
examine the blade for wear or
damage. Have it professionally
sharpened at least once annually.
■ Keep things clean
While you’re checking the
blade, remove any dirt and cakedon
grass from under the mower
deck. Squirt some vegetable oil
cooking spray under the deck to
reduce clipping build-up and to
prevent rust. This will also save
you alot of work when cleaning
the mower after each use. You’ll
also want to have your mower
tuned up annually to keep it
running smoothly and efficiently. A
typical professional tune-up
includes anew spark plug, an oil
change, ablade sharpening, anew
air filter, and cleaning of various
parts like belts, cables and safety

From your description, it sounds like your raspberry
plant was attacked by the larvae of the raspberry
bud moth - a common problem when cultivating
raspberry plants. The larvae of this moth tunnel
into and damage the canes, eat the fruit bud
and the fruit itself. Careful attention to garden hygiene can
lessen outbreaks of this problem.
As raspberries are to be eaten, you do not want to spray
them with toxic chemicals. Derris Dust can be used as it
is quite safe and effective in controlling the larvae and other
insects that may be attracted to you raspberry plants. You
could also try spraying with Neem Oil.
Remember, raspberry canes are biennial, they grow one
year, fruit the following year, and then should be removed in
February when the fruiting has fi nished. Thin out new seasons
canes as there is often prolifi c growth of young canes in
mid-late summer. Remove and destroy all pruned canes to
ensure there is no additional site for any overwintering
raspberry bud moths and their larvae.

Spring is a good time for repairing or planting a lawn because the soil is warmer which makes
grass seed germination more successful. Apply Daltons Premium Lawn Fertiliser to existing
lawns from late September and avoid mowing too ‘close’ initially in spring. Check mower blades

Artichokes are very easy to grow
GLOBE artichokes can be a
little intimidating.
Visually, they’re statuesque
and striking. And, while
they have a reputation as
a culinary delicacy, to the
novice it can be hard to tell
how they should be eaten at
all.
In spite of all of this,
artichokes are actually a very
easy plant to grow. Possibly
that’s to make up for the fact
they do require a bit of work
to cook … and eat.
So, if you’ve ever wondered
about growing artichokes
wonder no more – just get
planting.
Because artichokes (not to
be confused with jerusalem
artichoke, which are nothing
at all like globe artichokes)
are not particular about
where they grow, you can
choose anywhere in the
vegetable garden to plant.
Alternatively, why not
use that intimidating visual
appearance to your advantage
and plant them with your
flowers. Grow them in the
background as they can reach
around 2m tall.
When you’ve found
the right spot, plant each
artichoke about 50-100cm
apart from the next.
Because we’re coming
into summer it pays to
keep an eye on how dry they
get and try to keep them
watered regularly or apply
mulch.
In around 20-24 weeks
you can expect to see your
first flower buds. It’s the inner
petals and the base of the bud
that is eaten.
And it’s important, if you
want to eat them, to harvest
the buds while the petals are
still tightly wrapped.
Harvest the heads by
cutting just below the bud
and include a small amount
of stem.

The rising popularity of e-bike tours
has Christchurch business PureTrails
in high demand. PureTrails CEO
Hilary Weller says e-bikes were a faroff
dream when she set up her familyrun
business 15 years ago; in fact, the
internet was only just starting to take
off. But, now, they have more first-time
cyclists and people with differing levels
of ability joining their South Island
cycling tours.
“So much has changed since then in
terms of technology. We used to post
people information packs and they
would send us a cheque for payment.
Everything took a lot longer and was
more labour intensive.”
PureTrails’ original bike tour focused
on the Otago Rail Trail. This was
the main trip for the first five to six
years; however, the company now
offers 12 different tour options which
cover most of the South Island. These
include traverses of the Southern
Alps, the West Coast Wilderness Trail,
Queenstown Trail, Canterbury High
Country Trail and a wine tasting tour
of the Marlborough region.
Hilary says the government-led New
Zealand Cycle Trail initiative (Nga
Haerenga) which began in 2009 to
provide a safe and sustainable way to
explore the country, while generating
environmental, economic and social
benefits for local communities, has
changed the way people travel.
“It’s an amazing initiative which means
we can safely explore magical places
throughout New Zealand. The trails
also provide fantastic infrastructure
in terms of food, transport and
accommodation.
“Being able to use locally owned
accommodation and hospitality
providers is important to us and
our clients. It provides a much more
real experience with genuine local
knowledge and hospitality.”
PureTrails’ tours are usually six days,
with most tour participants in the
60+ age bracket. Sixty per cent of the
company’s clients are New Zealanders,
mainly from the North Island, with 35
per cent Australians and the remaining
five per cent a mix of British, American

and Canadian tourists.
“We have around 70 bikes of our
own and then hire about 600 bikes
per season. Tours generally run from
October to May to take advantage of
the warmer weather.”
Advances in e-bike technology have
made it easier and more accessible for
people of different abilities to enjoy a
cycle tour together, along with those
who may not have the same level of
fitness due to health issues.
“Technology is such an equaliser and
I love that e-bikes allow people to
continue biking for many more years
than a traditional bike, even after
having surgery for hips or knees. We
have clients aged in their late 80s who
are still going strong on their e-bikes.
If you’re not a confident biker, or a
couple or friends at different levels,
then an e-bike can also be the perfect
option to allow you to both enjoy the
tour.”
Digital connectivity is also important
for clients wanting to connect with
friends or family during their tour and
a reliable Wi-Fi connection is vital at
accommodation stops along the way.
“Clients expect fast and reliable Wi-
Fi so they can share their photos and
videos via social media, and they are
also keen to check in with friends and
family. “What’s the Wi-Fi code?” is one
of the first questions people ask when
we get to our accommodation each
night.”
Hilary says while digital connectivity
has improved along some trails, other
areas still have a way to go; especially
in Canterbury’s back country and
some parts of rural Kaikoura.
Hilary sees a bright future ahead for
her business with the development
of more cycle trails throughout the
country backed by increased demand
for more active holidays and continued
growth for the e-bike market.

international superstar tenor Simon
O’Neill joins Christchurch’s iconic
Woolston Brass under the direction
of Music Director Tyme Marsters and
compere Tim Beveridge to perform
tenor classics and raise funds for the
band’s future home.
New Zealand born, Simon O’Neill has
established himself as one of the finest
helden-tenors on the international
stage. He has frequently performed
with the Metropolitan Opera, the
Royal Opera House, Covent Garden,
Berlin, Hamburg and Bayerische
Staatsopern, Teatro alla Scala and the
Bayreuth, Salzburg, Edinburgh and
BBC Proms Festivals, appearing with a
number of illustrious conductors.
The Woolston Brass Band has been in
existence for 128 years having been the
most successful and recognised band
in New Zealand which consists of over
thirty musicians of all ages.
The band’s existing hall was damaged
in the earthquakes and after a five-year
search, the award-winning brass band
has decided to rebuild on their existing
historic Dampier Street site. Significant
fundraising is now sought to rebuild
this rehearsal facility that will host
Woolston Brass and their pioneering
education programme – the Woolston
Brass Academy consisting of a learners
group and two training bands;
Woolston Junior Band and Woolston
Concert Brass.

COMMUNITY
INFLUENCER
“Out of a tragedy can come a new direction,” says
Sarah Dean Founder of the Road Accident Trauma
Charitable Trust.
The sole focus of our trust is to make an influential
difference and contribution toward the reduction
of road trauma in our communities. The scale and
magnitude of road crashes is far too great on a
socio and economic impact.
MEET SARAH
How did this idea arise?
Unfortunately, in 2003 I was involved in two
serious road crashes and two further subsequent
crashes in 2007 and 2013 which I sustained some
significant injuries. I found there was a need for
support services for those who had been affected
by road traffic related trauma. We were initially
founded to provide a service for those who did
not meet the criteria for counselling support
under ACC and to promote education to industry
professionals. This is the first Charitable Trust of its
kind in New Zealand.
What are some highlights through the years?
We have provided services for hundreds of road
accident victims.
2016 it was a privilege to develop New Zealand’s
first Road Accident Remembrance Day which is
an annual large public event to acknowledge those
in our community who have impacted by road
trauma and provides the opportunity to focus on
road safety – which prevents such tragedies on our
roads.
2017 it was really humbling to found the
Canterbury Road Trauma Awards which now coinsides
with our Road Accident Remembrance Day.
This year these two events will be held on Saturday,
9 November 2019 in North Hagley Park at 2.00pm.
2019 we were proud to launch ‘Local Legends’ who
are local ambassadors who promote and endorse
the Canterbury Road Trauma Awards. We are also
hosting our first official event, tailored towards
men ‘Men of Impact’, held at Benny’s Barbershop
on Tuesday, 5 November at 6.00pm, it’s so vital we
continue to have influential and inspirational role
models in our lives. We established the Road Shows
‘Road Trauma in our Community’ which provides
stories of recovery, inspiration and support to
our rural communities. It is important we engage
directly with the communities most deeply
impacted.
2020 will be a big year for us, it is our ten year
anniversary and will be nationalising our Awards.
We will continue to focus on our Road Shows ‘Road
Trauma in our Community’ expanding across
many districts in the Canterbury community and
beyond. We are also hosting our Corporate Charity
Golf Tournament on Thursday, 19 March at the
Russley Golf Club.
“Out of tragedy you can find inspiration and
compassion, it’s really a huge privilege to make
an influential difference to the lives of others and
to create a platform for others to ‘have a voice’.
Thank you to the Police, Fire and Emergency, St.
John, New Zealand Transport Agency, Canterbury
District Health Board, Canterbury Charity Hospital
and Canterbury West Coast Air Rescue Trust,
counsellors and medical professionals and so many
others who support and dedicated their careers
to those who have unfortunately been impacted a
road trauma accident. It is so comforting knowing
there are support services who are there at the time
of the accident and throughout each individual’s
recovery.” says Sarah Dean.

CONTACT WITH
GRANDCHILDREN
8
LAW
LIVING
LIFE
PUZZLES
At a time when we are living longer and healthier lives it is
also the case that the glue that formerly kept families together
and in communication with one another has been stretched to
breaking point.
The Care of the Children Act 2004 recognised this evolving
family dynamic and the Act ensures that children have a way
to maintain and develop a relationship with all wider family
members including Grandparents.
A frequent issue arising for grandparents can be contact
with their grandchildren in circumstances where either
their child or their child’s partner becomes disenchanted
with them and/or their partner and as a consequence stops
contact with grandparents. Alternately it may be that one of
the grandparents’ children is a disinterested parent and that
provides a block on communication and contact.
It will come as no surprise and perhaps some satisfaction
that both the Courts and Oranga Tamariki have recognised
the increasingly important role played by grandparents in
the lives of their grandchildren. In a Rotorua case in 2008
Judge Mackenzie noted that grandparents can “offer benefits
to children different from parents, often because of life
experiences and also because of greater availability of time”.
In the Nelson Family Court Judge Russell commented “As
I have said in a number of cases, it takes “a village to raise a
child”, and good grandparents can teach children much about
life which the children’s own parents cannot. They come from
a different generation and can teach children matters from a
different perspective than can the children’s own parents.”
This brief commentary is directed to contact as distinct from
day to day care (or what used to be called “custody”). In the
case of contact then, grandparents have a right to apply to
Court, subject to leave being granted. It would be unusual
for the Courts not to grant leave in circumstances where
grandparents are clearly motivated by a genuine interest
in their grandchild and had a desire to have a meaningful
relationship with them.
Before applying to the Court
grandparents would need to go through
a process known as FDR (Family
Dispute Resolution). That requires the
parties to mediate with the parents
of the child with a view to reaching a
satisfactory outcome. That process can
take up to 6 weeks and does have a cost.
If the matter is unable to be resolved
at the FDR stage, then an application
can be made to the Court for contact
and at the same time an application

for leave. If you find yourself in this
predicament then you should contact
your lawyer to discuss what can be done.
At Harmans we have a team of 5 lawyers
in the Family Team who understand the
application of the legislation and how
to provide a pathway for you to either
obtain contact or obtain a resumption of
contact with your grandchild.
You can give either Harriet Daley or
Charlie Robson a call on 352-2293 to
arrange an appointment to discuss your
situation.

6 EXERCISES TO HELP SCIATICA
RECLINING PIGEON POSE
Pigeon pose is a common yoga pose. It works
to open the hips. There are multiple versions
of this stretch. The first is a starting version
known as the reclining pigeon pose. If you are
just starting your treatment, you should try the
reclining pose first.
1. While on your back, bring your right leg up
to a right angle. Clasp both hands behind the
thigh, locking your fingers.
2. Lift your left leg and place your right ankle
on top of the left knee.
3. Hold the position for a moment. This helps
stretch the tiny piriformis muscle, which
sometimes becomes inflamed and presses
against the sciatic nerve, causing pain.
4. Do the same exercise with the other leg.
Once you can do the reclining version without
pain, work with your health care professional
on sitting and forward versions of pigeon pose.
SITTING PIGEON POSE
1. Sit on the floor with your legs stretched out
straight in front of you.
2. Bend your right leg, putting your right ankle
on top of the left knee.
3. Lean forward and allow your upper body to
reach toward your thigh.
4. Hold for 15 to 30 seconds. This stretches the
glutes and lower back.
5. Repeat on the other side.
FORWARD PIGEON POSE
1. Kneel on the floor on all fours.
2. Pick up your right leg and move it forward
on the ground in front of your body. Your lower
leg should be on the ground, horizontal to the
body. Your right foot should be in front of your
right knee while your right knee stays to the
right.
3. Stretch the left leg out all the way behind
you on the floor, with the top of the foot on the
ground and toes pointing back.
4. Shift your body weight gradually from
your arms to your legs so that your legs are
supporting your weight. Sit up straight with
your hands on either side of your legs.
5. Take a deep breath. While exhaling, lean
your upper body forward over your front leg.
Support your weight with your arms as much as
possible.
6. Repeat on the other side.
KNEE TO OPPOSITE
SHOULDER
This simple stretch helps relieve sciatica pain by
loosening your gluteal and piriformis muscles,
which can become inflamed and press against
the sciatic nerve.
1. Lie on your back with your legs extended
and your feet flexed upward.
2. Bend your right leg and clasp your hands
around the knee.
3. Gently pull your right leg across your body
toward your left shoulder. Hold it there for 30
seconds. Remember to pull your knee only as
far as it will comfortably go. You should feel a
relieving stretch in your muscle, not pain.
4. Push your knee so your leg returns to its
starting position.
5. Repeat for a total of 3 reps, and then switch
legs.
SITTING SPINAL STRETCH
Sciatica pain is triggered when vertebrae in the
spine compress. This stretch helps create space
in the spine to relieve pressure on the sciatic
nerve.
1. Sit on the ground with your legs extended
straight out with your feet flexed upward.
2. Bend your right knee and place your foot
flat on the floor on the outside of your opposite
knee.
3. Place your left elbow on the outside of your
right knee to help you gently turn your body
toward the right.
4. Hold for 30 seconds and repeat three times,
then switch sides.
STANDING HAMSTRING
STRETCH
This stretch can help ease pain and tightness in
the hamstring caused by sciatica.
1. Place your right foot on an elevated surface
at or below your hip level. This could be a chair,
ottoman, or step on a staircase. Flex your foot
so your toes and leg are straight. If your knee
tends to hyperextend, keep a slight bend in it.
2. Bend your body forward slightly toward
your foot. The further you go, the deeper the
stretch. Do not push so far that you feel pain.
3. Release the hip of your raised leg downward
as opposed to lifting it up. If you need help
easing your hip down, loop a yoga strap or long
exercise band over your right thigh and under
your left foot.
4. Hold for at least 30 seconds, and then repeat
on the other side.
EXERCISE WITH CARE
Be cautious and work with the flexibility of your
body. If you attend a class or watch YouTube
videos, those people have been practicing for a
while. Don’t compare yourself or push yourself.
Flow with your body and if you have kind of
pain, you should stop. You can try again at
another time.

YOGANZ
RELAUNCHED BY
EXERCISE NZ

YOGA
LIVING
LIFE
Yoga New Zealand (YogaNZ), the national
yoga body for yoga in Aotearoa New Zealand,
was relaunched yesterday.
First established by Yoga Australia three years
ago, it is now operationally supported by
ExerciseNZ.
With its own national yoga council guiding its
operation, YogaNZ becomes 100 percent New
Zealand run and operated, ExerciseNZ chief
executive Richard Beddie says.
“We support all forms of movement and
physical activity. We know hundreds of
thousands of Kiwis regularly practice yoga
and the numbers have more than doubled in
the last 10 years. Twenty years ago, it would
have been a small fraction of one percent.
“We are backing YogaNZ as part of the
greater physical activity and movement space,
and their annual event, the hauora yoga
conference is now part of YogaNZ’s offering.
“YogaNZ also now links with global yoga
networks and initiatives to pursue best
practice and facilitate the two-way sharing
of knowledge. This significantly helps to
enhance the international standing of yoga in
Aotearoa New Zealand.
“Yoga is practised by more than 100,000
Kiwis at more than 500 yoga studios and
classes around New Zealand, making it one
of the fastest growing physical activities in the
country.
Yoga is valuable as an activity in its own
right, as well as being complementary to
other exercise activities. It is common now
for regular gym users to add yoga into their
fitness regimes.
In addition to benefiting the physical body,
yoga also has a profound effect on mental
and emotional health, including our ability
to maintain equanimity in a world constantly
pulling us in so many different directions.
Yoga creates a bridge of care, affecting all
aspects of our health and bringing us to a
place of optimal health.
“Studies show that yoga may help improve
mental health, heart health, which is an
essential component of overall health
reduce several risk factors for heart disease
and improve heart conditions alone or in
combination with a healthy lifestyle,” Beddie
says.
YogaNZ Council chair Heather Robinson
says yoga therapy is now a growing activity
where experienced yoga teachers with
additional training as specialists teach yoga
in a therapeutic setting, often as helpful
support to medical and other complementary
treatments.
“Yoga also improves quality of life. It is
becoming increasingly common as an adjunct
therapy to improve well-being for many
individuals.
“Relief from stress is also a key factor. Yoga
improves the body, calms the mind and helps
bring balance into our lives.
“Stress is almost a given in a developed
country and, as a result, the mindful
component of yoga is so beneficial and
desired. While yoga can vary in physical
intensity, it always provides people with the
best methods of being mindful, which is
something that so many people benefit from
and seek in today’s busy lifestyles,” Robinson
says.

HEARING
LOSS CAN BE
PREVENTED
The attendees and teachers of the
September 2019 Dangerous Decibels
training program

LIVING
LIFE
HEARING
“New Zealand is heading towards
more than one in five kiwis having
often preventable hearing loss due to
noise, particularly from such activities
as extra loud music players, concerts
and music, particularly when delivered
through headphones and ear buds
from YouTube and Bluetooth.” Says
Tony Rush, President of Hearing NZ
Dangerous Decibels is a course which
enables educators to run trainings in
colleges, schools and kindergartens
on the dangers of excess noise, the
irrevocable damage to hearing it
can cause, and on how to protect
yourself and your hearing health.
More importantly, according to Dr
David Welch, both the course and the
ultimate experience in classes around
the country is designed to be fun.
“It’s the fun and interaction that excites
the imagination and creates deeper
learning that can stay with children
over time”, according to Dr Welch. “It’s
the fun and deep understanding that
changes behaviours”.
The Dangerous Decibels (or DD)
course is a joint venture between
Auckland University and Hearing New
Zealand. DD was originally created
by a number of North American
Universities and has been developed
further in New Zealand and Singapore.
The sixteen attendees on the twoday
course are drawn from Hearing
New Zealand affiliated members
throughout the country. The DD team
involves experts in Audiology, Health
and Safety, Auditory Physiology, and
Health Promotion, and Carolynne
Riley, from Hearing NZ who may
well be the world’s most experienced
DD Educator: she has taught
approximately 19,000 people.
Carolynne Riley not only works
as a Hearing Educator at Hearing
Hastings but is the Frontline staff
representative on the National Board
at Hearing NZ. Carolynne believes
“education is the direction we need to
go in to reduce the incidence of noise
induced hearing loss (NIHL). NIHL
is easily preventable; the DD training
delivers this message in an interactive
and memorable way. Our hearing is
precious but when it’s gone, it’s gone, it
doesn’t come back!”
Students discover just how important
it can be to “Turn it Down!”, “Walk
Away” and how to “Protect Ears”. With
the help of scientific tools, students
measure sound and learn about
decibels. They explore sound, the way
it travels, and how they can
protect their hearing for
years to come!
One attendee, commented
that “The Dangerous
Decibels training
programme is a valuable
tool to have, it helps us to
educate people (young and
old) to protect their hearing
because once it’s gone it
won’t come back.”
Noise induced hearing
loss can be prevented.

gets amazing feedback!
• Since using the Aircycle the swelling
in my legs and feet have decreased
dramatically, my ulcerated toe has started
to heal and all the pain from my toe has
gone. The toes on my other foot have
stopped tingling and getting sore on the
tips and they are back to a healthy pink
colour. I am now able to walk much
further without pain.”- Richard UK.
• “ Within 2 weeks of using the Aircycle
my ulcer was starting to heal and in
6 weeks it was completely healed. My
physio said it was because I was exercising
more. It’s good to be able to do something
whilst sitting, especially when it’s so easy
yet effective.”- Jane, Toowomba
• “The Aircycle is even better than the
information says. The pain in my knees has
gone and although I use a walker I don’t
need it around the house anymore. I can
move more freely and have much less pain
in both my hands and feet. My feet are
warmer too and now I don’t need bed socks
which I’ve worn for years” Gay, Rotorua
Listed with Medsafe and shown by
hospitals, rest homes, diabetes clinics,
podiatrists and physiotherapists to be
helpful for a variety of circulatory and joint
problems in hands, shoulders, feet and legs,
the AIRCYCLE helps strengthen muscles
for improved balance and mobility.
Keep your joints and muscles moving
gently while sitting having coffee, reading,
watching TV, working at a desk or

The family &
The theme for World Diabetes Day and
Canterbury Diabetes Month, November,
2019 is “The Family and Diabetes”. The
aim of this campaign is to:
• Raise awareness of the impact that
diabetes has on the family and support
network of those affected.
• Promote the role of the family in the
management, care, prevention and
education of all forms of diabetes.
Diabetes Christchurch Society (the first
ever diabetes society in New Zealand)
relocated to their new premises at 21
Carlyle Street, Sydenham in early April
with the CEO of the CDHB, David
Meates officially opening the premises.
In Canterbury we have over 21,000
people with known diabetes and another
20,000 people have pre-diabetes,
and many of these don’t know it.
Approximately 11% have type 1 diabetes
and around 86% have type 2 diabetes.
There is correspondingly a significant
rise in gestational diabetes. People with
diabetes account for 4.1% of the enrolled

meaningful connections with those
people affected by or at risk of diabetes.
We want every person affected by, or at
risk of diabetes in Canterbury to have
access to the support needed to live a full
and active life.
Our campaign will focus on healthy
eating, diabetes education and exercise
as the key factors in the fight against
diabetes and keeping well.
Healthy eating, education and exercise:
• Can help prevent the onset of type 2
diabetes
• Is an important part of the effective
management of all types of diabetes to
help avoid complications
• Healthy foods will help effectively
manage all types of diabetes
Many complications can be picked
up in their early stages by screening
programmes. The earlier a person is
diagnosed, the earlier treatment can be
initiated in order to reduce the risk of
harmful and costly
complications. A
person can have type
2 diabetes for several
years without showing
any symptoms, during
which time high
blood glucose is silently
damaging the body. There is therefore
an urgent need to screen, diagnose and
provide appropriate treatments and
information to people with diabetes. Our

will highlight cost-effective solutions

McClure bats through adversity
• By Gordon Findlater
TWO HUNDREDS in as
many innings is a good sign
Canterbury batsman Ken
McClure is on the road to
putting a couple of “pretty
frustrating” years behind him.
The 25-year-old scored 121
from 125 deliveries on Saturday
to help East Christchurch
Shirley to a 152-run victory over
Heathcote in the premiership
one-day competition.
He followed the white ball ton
up with an even more impressive
red ball century on Monday in a
three-day match for Canterbury
A against Otago A. Batting at
No 3, McClure scored 196 before
being bowled by former Black
Caps spinner Mark Craig.
Last year McClure was forced
to retire hurt twice in the space
of three weeks. In October, he
was struck on the helmet after a
bouncer from Black Caps bowler
Neil Wagner. In his first match
back after the concussion, he
lasted just seven deliveries before
suffering the same fate to former
Black Caps paceman Mitchell
McClenaghan.
The two blows to the head led
to McClure suffering concussion
symptoms and anxiety around
being hit again.
“You go through the day and
you just don’t feel yourself.
Everything’s a bit slow and
you’ve constantly got a headache.
You just don’t feel right for a long
time and you can’t really sleep,”
said McClure.
“Then you get in the nets and
you’ve got to face some nasty
short stuff – it didn’t make for a
great time.”
Following the incidents,
McClure sought help from a
sports psychologist to overcome
the fear of being hit again and
turn his focus to scoring runs.
“It took me a while to get over
it, but I’ve done a lot of work
with my mental skills and I feel

in a good place,” he said.
“I believe I’m a good player
of the short ball, I’ve just got hit
in the head by two pretty good
guys that bowl it well, being Neil
and Mitch.
“[Scoring the two centuries]
gives you that reassurance that
you’re actually training the right
things and doing the right things
in the nets.”
McClure says getting his form
back with the bat has been a case
of ensuring his head is right on
IT APPEARS World Rugby is
putting in a late bid to be labelled
2019’s most politically correct
organisation after media in the
United Kingdom reported it had
handed out a four-figure fine to
England for their V formation
during the All Blacks haka.
If the rumours are correct,
World Rugby could be set to step
up their PC policing in 2020 –
specifically in cultural values.
The current rumours
swirling are that staff from the
organisation could be placed
strategically around Eden Park
during All Blacks tests next year
to hand out on-the-spot fines to
anyone who mumbles their way
through the Maori verse of the
national anthem.
The fine for the V formation
is by all accounts a slap across
the wrist at less than $5000. But
the message being sent seems
even more absurd than when we

the field and off it.
The concussions came on the
back of a 2017/18 season, which
saw him stood down for much
of the Canterbury campaign. In
January 2018, he pleaded guilty
to assaulting a man in Hanmer
Springs on September 10 while
on a pre-season trip with East
Christchurch Shirley.
McClure admits a combination

figure out why ball carriers were
being sent off for running hard
at poor tackling techniques, or
why tacklers were receiving the
same punishment for ball head
high tackles at the height usually
associated with knee level.
The fine is believed to have
been handed out due to England
breaking a protocol which
dictates teams must be at least
20m away, behind their own 10m
lines for the haka.
It is not yet understood if the
cameramen seen lying on their
stomachs during the haka have
been fined or not for the way
they presented themselves.
For me though, the
biggest takeaway from the
situation is the sad
realisation that three

‘You end up bringing cricket
home and it doesn’t make life very
enjoyable at all’ – Ken McClure
2 Troup Drive, Riccarton Phone: 348 6020 Open 7 days 11am to late www.speightstowerjunction.co.nz
“If you’ve only got on the field
going well and everything else is
not going well, then eventually
cricket’s going to take a U-turn
and it’s going to be tough. You
end up bringing cricket home
and it doesn’t make life very
enjoyable at all,” he said.
“With me, it’s probably been
nailing my stuff off the field.
My personal life, my diet, my
sleeping patterns and just
everyday life.
“This year I’ve really been
trying to nail the basics around
nutrition and sleep and making
good training habits. I think that
will lead to scoring more runs.”
In 2016, McClure burst on to
the domestic scene as a 21-yearold
with 193 not out to help
Canterbury chase down 397 and
record a five-wicket win over
Otago in a four-day match.
Now he says his focus is on
the future and re-cementing his
place in the Canterbury team.

Two wins puts Pride
in top spot
Canterbury United Pride
have reclaimed top spot in the
National Women’s League after
back-to-back wins over Southern
United over Labour Weekend.
On Saturday, the Pride scored
first-half goals through Bel van
Noorden and Gabi Rennie to
win 2-0 in Dunedin. On Monday
they welcomed their southern
rivals to English Park, but found
themselves trailing 1-2 at halftime.
However, a brace from
Britney-Lee Nicholson helped
the side complete the weekend
in style 3-2. The Pride went top
after rivals Northern Spirit were
held to a 0-0 draw by Auckland.
On Saturday the Pride head to
Wellington to play Capital.
Matchplay title to
teen golfer
Teen golfer Hayato Miya won
the Canterbury Matchplay title
on Monday by defeating Jacob
Roberts after 19 holes. The
16-year-old was two up after 15
holes, but dropped consecutive
holes to go all square into the
18th. Roberts had a putt to
win on the 18th green which
he missed, before Miya sealed
victory at the 19th. The women’s
title was won by Maddie May
who made a bright start which
she maintained to win five and
four. Titles also went to Brett
Turner in the men’s master and
Seb May in the under-19 men’s.
Alexander extends
lead in SuperUtes
Tom Alexander extended his
lead in the SuperUtes Series
– a support series for the V8
Supercars – after a win and two
podiums at the Gold Coast.
The former St Thomas’ student
finished second and third in
the opening two races, then
completed his weekend with
a victory, to secure the round
honours. Alexander continues to
lead the series, 60 points clear of
Cameron Crick. The final round
of the series is in Newcastle from

Dragons face a difficult task first
up when they visit defending
champions Eastern
Suburbs in the opening
round of the national
league on Sunday.
The Dragons have been
together for seven weeks
and played one preseason
match against – a
2-1 win against Southern
United. New coach Lee
Padmore says he was “relatively
happy” with what he saw from
the side.
He believes character will
be key for the Dragons this
campaign and wants the side
to epitomise Canterbury as a
region with the way they play
the game.
“It’s going to be
hardworking, it’s going
to be in your face,
it’s going to be one
of those teams that
nobody’s ever going to
get a sniff in regards
to having any time to
dictate a game against
us,” said Padmore.
“We pushed some boundaries
in regards to the way the boys
think and what we’re going to

“I’d heard some rumours
Jonty Rhodes may be turning
out for South Africa,” said
Nuttall.
The Zimbabwe side are also expected
to feature a trio of former
internationals including Eddo
Brandes who is remembered best
for arguably cricket’s greatest ever
sledge.
During a test against
Australia in 2003 Glenn
McGrath became frustrated at
being unable to dismiss Brandes.
McGrath then asked: “Why are
you so fat?” to which Brandes
replied: “Because every time I
shag your wife she gives me a
chocolate biscuit.”
New Zealand is one of 12 teams
contesting the World Cup. They
will play West Indies, Australia,
Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe and
Canada in their pool.
The tournament takes place
from March 11-24.
Exotic GTs for Ruapuna endurance
CROWD PLEASER: The Chevrolet Camaro GT3 of John
McIntrye and Simon Gilbertson is expected to be amongst the
front-runners at Ruapuna on Saturday. ​
Gilbertson accomplished an impressive
feat of lapping the entire
field an hour into the three-hour
race. Unfortunately the effort
was undone after the team suffered
suspension damage during
their first pit stop. This dropped
them down the order and they
have to do this year to be a little
bit different in order to compete
. . . we haven’t got the finances
of a few of the top teams, but
we’ve got to make sure we’re
sweet in the other departments
of football.”
The Dragons squad is
made up of predominantly
local players, but they bought
in the services of defender
Tom Scott who moves south
from the Wellington Phoenix
academy, former Canadian
under-20 international
forward Calum Ferguson and
Australian midfielder Reece
Dalton.
unfortunately retired with more
front suspension problems later
in the race.
“I don’t want to sound defeated,
but we go into every round
really up against it pace-wise,
but we obviously found that in
Timaru which is a twisty circuit.
Sunday’s match against
Eastern Suburbs kicks off at
4pm and will be shown live on
Sky Sport.
Dragons squad – Eddie
Ashton, Dan Terris, Benji
Lapslie, Dan Schwarz, Tom
Scott, George King, Luke
Tongue, Haris Zeb, Reece
Dalton, James Pendrigh,
Juan Chang, Sean Liddicoat,
Calum Ferguson,
Cory Mitchell, Harrison

INTERNATIONAL:
Andrew Nuttall is
the oldest played
named in the
New Zealand
squad for the
Over-50s Cricket
World Cup.
We had made some real gains in
corner speed, tyre life and fuel
economy,” said McIntrye.
“So, we’ll be happy to go in as
the underdogs, but if we can get
our nose in front that Camaro
could become very, very wide.”
Last year the three-hour race
was won by Foster and Reid in
their Audi R8 after qualifying
on pole with a blistering time of
1min 18.3sec The pair lead this
year’s championship after wins at
Teretonga and Levels, and a third
place finish at Motorsport Park.
“These are of some of the
fastest cars ever raced in New
Zealand with a roof on them,”
said McIntyre.
“If you think about things like
the Trans-ams of the day which
were very quick cars, they were
only in the one-minute twenties,
so to be two seconds up on that
is phenomenal.”
Qualifying for the one and
three-hour races begin in the
morning, followed by the onehour
race. The three-hour race
begins at 2pm.

With the Canterbury
United Dragons
beginning their national
league campaign
on Sunday away to
defending champions
Eastern Suburbs on
Sunday we continue
our Canterbury sporting
icon series by taking a
look at one of the side’s
most prominent players
from their only grand
final appearance in
2006. Gordon Findlater
caught up with Stuart
Kelly
GROWING UP in Glasgow,
Stuart Kelly went on to be part
of the youth and reserve team
set-up at Rangers in the late
1990s and early 2000s.
At the time, Scottish football
was a far bigger force than it is
today. The first-team featured
the likes of Brian Laudrap, Rino
Gattuso, Paul Gascoigne, Andrei
Kanchelskis and Giovanni van
Bronckhorst. The club even came
close to signing Brazil legend
Ronaldo in 1997.
“With the reserve team, there
was five or six internationals
playing for us at any given time,”
said Kelly.
“You don’t look at them like
that when you’re there. They’re
a colleague or a friend and
ultimately the competition. I’m
quite proud of some of the guys I
played with. Gattuso was a young
boy that came in and trained with
us. He got fast tracked to the firstteam
pretty quickly.”
During the striker/midfielder’s
earliest days with the youth team
he also doubled as a helper for
the club’s kit man. The job gave
him a front row seat for a piece of
tabloid headline news at the time
when Gascgoine was accused
by Danish international Erik Bo
Andersen for having urinated on
him during a training-ground
prank.
“My job was to look after the
first-team gear, so you’re in and
out of the changing room and
I remember it came out in the
papers that Paul Gascgoine was
p***ing on one of the guys in the
showers . . . I was actually there
when he was doing it. He was
just talking away and p***ing on
him at the same time,” he said.
After not having his contract
renewed by Rangers in 2001
Kelly went onto play for Scottish
non-league club Shetlesston
FC – who had also secured the
services of former Celtic and
Republic of Ireland international
Tommy Coyne. He then joined
East Stirlingshire FC where
he scored a number of goals.
However, the team struggled for
results at the time.
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
“It was at a time where Arsenal
were ‘the invincibles.’ Everybody
in the UK used to bet for [Thierry]
Henry to score and for Arsenal
to win and to me to score for
my team, but for us to get beat . .
. that was the running joke at the
time, but I was loving it because it
gave me exposure,” he said.
In 2003 Kelly made the move
to Christchurch to play for Canterbury
United with the goal of
staking a claim for a spot with an
A-League club due to the competition
being set to begin in 2005.
His most memorable campaign

came in 2005/06 which saw
him score a number of goals for
Canterbury en route to their one
and only grand-final appearance.
However, Kelly says he “wasn’t
a great person to be around” at
the time, due to his first major
relationship break-up coinciding
with his team’s playoff run.
After finishing third in the
league, the side defeated Manuwatu
on penalties. They then
went onto lose 0-3 to Auckland
in the next phase.
“They absolutely spanked us.
The game was over after 15 minutes
and I think we were upset
about that,” he said.
However, they then defeated
Team Wellington to set up a
rematch with Auckland in the
grand final.
“Auckland were different then,
they were a pretty direct physical
team and I think within the first
30 seconds there was an all-in
fight. I remember Ben Sigmund
slapping someone in the face . . .
that ignited the game,” he said.
Kelly scored two goals in the
match which finished 3-3 after
regular time. However, Canterbury
lost agonisingly in a penalty
shootout.
Following the 2006-07 campaign
with Canterbury, Kelly

Global striker brings experience to Halswell
BIG MOMENT: Kelly celebrates a crucial go-ahead goal
for Cashmere Technical in the 2013 Chatham Cup final at
English Park.
Thursday October 31 2019 The Star
moved to Melbourne and played
for Oakleigh Cannons and South
Melbourne FC before returning
to New Zealand and having
short stints with Otago United
and Auckland City.
Kelly also had stints in Thailand
and Finland before returning
to Christchurch permanently
in 2013 to play for Cashmere
Technical in the Mainland
Premier League and Canterbury
United in the national league.
He played a crucial role in Tech
winning back to back Chatham
Cup titles in 2013 and 2014. He
scored the second of the side’s
three goals in their 3-1 win over
Waitakere City at English Park
in 2013. A year later won the Jack
Batty Trophy for a man of the
match performance in Tech’s 2-1
win over Central United.
“That second year all of our
games were on the road and we
still won it . . . the biggest disappointment
is that we were two
games away from breaking the
all-time record for consecutive
victories,” said Kelly.
Outside of football Kelly managed
and owned a Frontrunner
store in Northlands Shopping
Centre until taking up a role as
Halswell United’s director of
football last year.
Kelly coaches Halswell’s
first-team in the Canterbury
Championship League and also
played a handful of games for the
team. However, arthritis in his
knee prevented him from being
a regular.
“There’s no pain or anything,
but if I train and play it flares up
. . . I’ve come to the conclusion I
can’t train at the level I want to
be and therefore won’t be playing
any more,” he said.
Halswell were a dominant
force in Christchurch in the
1990s and 2000s. However, have
slumped in more recent times
and were relegated from the
MPL in 2016. Kelly believes the
club is now putting the right
pieces in place to help return to
club to Canterbury’s premier
competition in the coming years.
Coaching appears to be a path
Kelly wants to take further. He is
also currently doing a masters in
sports management through the
Johan Cruyff Institute.

Boot goes into exciting Mazda 3
Motoring
Ross Kiddie
IT’S TOO early to be talking
about the 2019 New Zealand
Motoring Writer’s Guild Car of
the Year award, the nominations
have only just been released and
judging won’t be complete until
December.
However, I’m pleased to say
the new Mazda3 is on the list of
finalists. I say this because the
latest generation model has made
quite an impact on me, it is one
very fine vehicle.
Effectively, I’ve driven three
models back-to-back, two hatches
and a sedan, and each stands out
as being competent, quality built,
efficient and purposeful, what’s
more it’s such a darn nice car to
drive and to be in.
I’ve mentioned many times
in these columns how I’m very
much a sedan buyer and although
I’ve owned hatches and liftbacks
over the years, I’m always drawn
to the traditional concept.
This evaluation surrounds
the Mazda3 sedan, and it would
be the car for me if I had funds
to buy new in today’s market.
I would settle for the entry
level GSX at $36,595, but the
evaluation car – a Limited at
$48,795 – is a model which
borders on the luxury car class for
just a fraction of the cost.
As opposed to the GSX with
its 2-litre engine, the GTX and
Limited both get a 2.5-litre
four-cylinder engine. Each has
its merits, and both deliver
outstanding performance.
The 2.5 is rated at 139kW and
252Nm, although the outputs
are reached a little tall in the rev
band at 6000rpm and 4000rpm
respectively, the management
protocols are structured so that
effective torque is spread broadly.
Drive is carried to the front
wheels through a traditional sixspeed
automatic transmission.
In limited form the driver has
the use of paddle shifters should
he or she want to get involved in
the gearchange process. Shifts are
smooth and satisfactorily quick,
the engine has no trouble filling
the gaps between gears but with
six cogs the ratios are quite close,
so there are no surprises there.
The gearing is also structured
so that the engine isn’t loaded
at highway speed, at 100km/h it
is turning over at just 1900rpm,
quite relaxed and sipping fuel
MAZDA3 LIMITED SEDAN: Increase in boot space.
at the instantaneous rate of
5.5-litres per 100km (51mpg).
That contributes to the efficient
7.6l/100km (37mpg) dash panel
average during my time with the
evaluation car. Mazda claims
a combined cycle average of
6.5l/100km (44mpg), which
correlates well with my figures.
In terms of figures, the new 3
also has a good turn of speed,
it’s no rocket, but with an 8.8sec
time to make 100km/h from a
standstill, it easily keeps pace with
traffic and disgraces cars with a
far higher pedigree. A lot of that
can be attributed to its relative
lightweight, at 1388kg, it’s not
burdened, and is a tribute to the
Mazda engineers who, early in
the company’s manufacturing
process, realised how important it
is to build cars minimising weight
in all components.
That also has a beneficial effect
on handling. The Mazda3 is tight
and composed when presented
with quick corners. I took the
test car on a short hilly burst and
enjoyed its directional accuracy
and stability. Saying that, the new
model doesn’t have the benefit
of four-wheel independent
suspension, there are struts up
front, but the rear is a torsion
beam-type linking the two rear
wheels. Nevertheless, I’m yet to
find a reason why I don’t like it.
If today’s new car buyer isn’t
hell-bent on buying a sports utility
vehicle, then the next option would
generally be a hatch or liftback.
That being the case, the Mazda3
sedan would probably be a final
choice for many. However, it’s there
for those like me who are drawn to
having good boot space. Yes, the
load space in the Mazda3 sedan
is deep and cavernous – 444-litres
of cargo can be carried there. That
compares to 295-litres of the hatch
with the rear seats upright.
There’s no compromise in
styling; while the hatchback

• Fuel usage – 6.5l/100km
is bold and daring around the
C-pillar, the sedan is a little more
conservative, but it still looks
smart and desirable.
Limited specification is Mazda’s
high grade variant, and it misses
out on nothing. All the traditional
items are fitted including the latest
generation i-Activesense suite of
safety technologies.
It’s been a big year for Mazda
New Zealand, it has launched
a raft of new models and I’ve
evaluated all of those.
Each stands out for varying
reasons but the one thing
common to all is the involvement
and enjoyment that can be
gleaned from being in the
company’s line-up. It is indicative
of the passion it has for making
engaging, mainstream cars that
punch well above their weight
in terms of where they sit in the
market.

NEW LISTINGS
Looking for a Property?
What really counts
You are in the market for a new property,
scrolling the Internet, examining
properties for sale and zeroing in on
those with potential. They might be
in locations that offer cheaper land,
larger houses, or convenience to work
or school. You may have visited show
homes and open homes becoming
confused, overwhelmed or swept
away with emotional factors like having
everything new, or extra features such as
three car garaging.
To be happy with your choice, list the
features that you need, considering:
; Family space – Is there room for
the children to play indoors and
for television and entertainment
units? Should this be open plan or
separated?
; Kitchen – What needs to be in your
kitchen? How serious are you about
a butler’s pantry? Is it a whim or
something that offers a practical
solution to the way you use your
kitchen?
; Bedroom sizes – What are optimum
sizes? Smaller bedrooms may
translate to slightly lower building
costs while extra space can be useful.
When looking at existing homes,
consider whether the size of each
bedroom is sufficient.
; Garaging – A standard double garage
once two cars are parked there offers
little space for the toys. What toys
do you have and could they live with
the lawnmower in a garden shed, a
cheaper option to three car garaging?
If the budget allows and a larger
garage with workshop is important,
make it a selection priority.
; Size of land – Lifestyle properties
offer space for children, pets, hobbies,
Home & Property appears every Thursday, delivered FREE
throughout Christchurch

M: 021 300 567 E: mike@starmedia.kiwi
an expansive garden and perhaps a
home-run business but they require
work so are not for everyone and
a compact section might be more
sensible if a tight budget or busy
lifestyle.
; Bathrooms – Second and third
bathrooms are great in homes with
teenagers and a wet shower room is
ideal for young children. A bath might
be fashionable though is often not
used and its absence could mean a
more spacious bathroom.
; Laundry – Would a laundry in the
garage do the job?
; Storage – How much storage do you
need? Weigh up what can truly be
stored in the garage once vehicles are
in, a preference in winter. Garages vary
in size so check the size to ensure your
vehicles will fit. Look also at where
else the house offers storage capacity
such as in hall cupboards, a large hot
water cylinder cupboard, wardrobes
(check their width and depth), walk-in
robe, attic storage trusses, as well as
the potential for hooks and shelving
in the garage for bikes, tools, garden
equipment and even kayaks.
; Off-street parking – How many
vehicles can be parked on the
driveway? Will this space be sufficient?
; Garden - Is there sufficient space
for your children to play or for
entertaining?
A checklist will allow you to determine
what will suit your needs, the point of
the exercise, saving you time looking at
properties or potential house designs
while assisting you to decide whether
to buy a new or existing home with
both options having advantages and
disadvantages.

‘excellent value for money’
1/2 Chook & Chips with
slaw & gravy for $28
Tonight’s
Dinner Deal
Tuesday
5-8PM
Coming Up
MANY of Woolston's favourite fares still
feature on the bar and restaurant menu,
however to start your dining experience,
Woolston now offer Salt & Pepper
crumbed Calamari, and the popular fried
chicken in two size options.
One standout addition is the selection
of Rotisserie meals, an enhancement of
the standard Roast. Now the decision is
yours; between traditional Beef with
Yorkshire pud', chicken with lemonthyme
stuffing, and pork with apple &
sultana relish, you certainly are not short
on options. Choose a potato side and two
vegetable dishes to accompany.
Another dish set to delight is the NZ
Greenshell Mussels, baked in beer, white
wine and cream, an absolute Kiwi
favourite, and meat-lovers will not be
disappointed in some changes to the
famous Woolston burger. Now featuring
double meat, double cheese, bacon, a fried
egg, beetroot and topped off with sour
cream, this monstrous meal is not for the
tame!
Providing excellent value for money,
the “Woolston Weeklies” are the new daily
rituals you will want to pop in your diary.
Promising the retention of the everpopular
'Half price ribs', '2 4 1 Pizza', 'Kids
dine free,' and of course the 'Sunday
Roast' Woolston also present the addition
of both a Steak and a Chook night.
Tuesday 'Steak Night' includes steak,
egg, chips & a pint of house beer for just
$20, while 'Chook Night' on Saturdays is
the perfect opportunity to bring your
better half or a mate down for a shared
meal. $28 gets you half a massive size 18
chicken, plus chips, slaw and gravy to
devour. Good luck attempting this on
your own!
Woolston Weeklies are available daily
from 5pm until late.
Come down and give our new options
a try! Cal 03 389 7039 to book a table.
