“OH MY god, she’s alive.”
That was the reaction from
Reuben McCormack who was
part of the dramatic rescue of
a climber who fell 600m on Mt
Rolleston, near Arthur’s Pass,
on Saturday.
The off-duty policeman had
been climbing in the area when
he chanced upon the climbing
partner of the woman who
had fallen, a 25-year-old from

Christchurch.
“We all assumed she would’ve
died. With a fall like that, it’s
not normally survivable. And
the fact she went over several
bluffs, too,” he said.
Senior Constable
McCormack, who is also
a search and rescue team
member, said he saw the
woman’s climbing partner,
called Chris, just above him on
the mountain.
“Only the lead person, Chris,
saw where she fell,” Senior
Constable McCormack said.
“He said to us: ‘I’ve lost
Lauren’. We said: ‘What do you
mean you’ve lost her?’ And he
said: ‘Down there’ and pointed
down into the Bealey Valley,
which is a huge drop.
“We thought: ‘Oh, that’s not
survivable’. Then we decided to
re-group ourselves and make
a plan to get Chris safe and get
people down to find her.”
Once the helicopter had

arrived, a radio was winched
down to Senior Constable
McCormack, who explained
what had happened.
“They then went down the
valley and they saw her in a
gully.
“They told us on the radio:
‘She’s waving at us!’ And that
was the first we knew that. ‘Oh
my god, she’s alive’ that was a
very exciting moment for us.
Just to know she was alive.”

lobbying
goes

NEW ZEALAND Cricket
appears to be lobbying to get the
controversial 48.9m permanent
lights installed at Hagley Oval.
NZC sent out an e-newsletter
outlining its support of the
Canterbury Cricket Trust’s bid
to get the six permanent lights
installed to cricketers as far away
as Auckland.
“Given there are currently
no South Island international
cricket venues with lights, New
Zealand Cricket strongly supports
the CCT’s proposal and invites
readers to make submissions to
the two authorities involved,” the
e-newsletter read.
A record number of submissions
have been made to associate
Greater Christchurch Regeneration
Minister Poto Williams over
the plan, the city council has also
received more submissions on the
plan than it did on the proposed
$10 million grant towards the
Christ Church Cathedral.
NZC public affairs manager
Richard Boock said he was unable
to respond to questions yesterday
by The Star.
Hands Off Hagley spokesman
Martin Meehan was not surprised
by the number of submissions
made considering “New Zealand
Cricket had emailed every cricketer
in the country.”
He said his son who plays
cricket in Auckland received the
e-newsletter.

A WOMAN’S generous offer
at a McDonald’s drive-through
started a chain reaction of
customers paying for other
people’s meals.
Rolleston McDonald’s shift
manager Lizzie Treymane said
the woman came through the
drive-through about 5pm on
Tuesday and insisted on paying
for the meal of the motorist
behind her as well.
“She said she wanted to pay
for theirs too. It was a $50 order
so that was pretty incredible.”
Ms Treymane said when the
next vehicle came through to
pay for their order and staff
told the driver their food had
already been paid for, they were
shocked.
“We said that the customer
before them had already paid
for their food and they were
shocked, so they wanted to pay
for the order behind them too.”
This led to eight cars in the
drive-through paying it forward
for customers behind them.

A PREGNANT woman and
her partner were taken to
Christchurch Hospital after
a candle caused a fire in their
central city home.
A passerby alerted the fire
service when they saw smoke
pouring from the Gloucester St
home about 8.45am yesterday,
said Fire and Emergency NZ
investigator Jason Hobbs.
A man was in the shower when
he heard the smoke alarm and
escaped the house through the
back door, said Mr Hobbs.
His partner, who is pregnant,
was not at home but arrived back
to see the house in flames with
firefighters battling to extinguish
the blaze.
The man was treated for
minor smoke inhalation and the
woman was taken to hospital as a
precaution.
Mr Hobbs said the fire
appeared to have started from a

“Everyone is entitled to their
own opinion but this is not a
popularity contest,” he said.
Mr Meehan thought the lights
would “visually dominate Hagley
Park” and did not see earthquake
recovery laws as the appropriate
process to install them.
“Basically the process that
is being used, section 71, it is
emergency legislation and this is
not an emergency, it is a manufactured
emergency.”
Mr Meehan said the group had
not made their submission but
planned to do it soon.
The trust wants to use earthquake
recovery laws to fast-track
the installation of the lights in a
bid to secure high profile games
for the 2021 Women’s Cricket
World Cup matches. It has also
applied to the city council for a
new lease to accommodate the
lights.
Crown-council planning
agency Regenerate Christchurch
has applied to associate Greater
Christchurch Regeneration Minister
Poto Williams on behalf of
the trust to fast track changes to
the District Plan under section
71 of the Greater Christchurch
Regeneration Act to allow for the
lights to be installed.
More than 860 written submissions
have been made on the
proposal so far.
A spokesman from Ms Williams’
office said this was already
the highest number of submissions
to have been made on a
section 71 proposal with public
consultation not closing until
November 20. Ms Williams will
then have up to 30 working days
after submissions close to come
to a final decision.
CCT chairman Lee Robinson
was also not surprised by the
record number of submissions.
“I think it is important that
people have their say because
there is a passion and resolve in
cricket to get this over the line,”
he said.

the lights.
The CCT has also applied for
a new lease to the city council
to accommodate the six lights.
The city council is also receiving
feedback on this and has collected
more than 1850 submissions
so far.
This is already more than the
1457 submissions received over
the proposed changes to Denton
Park, the 1085 received over the

Woman banned
from owning
horses after SPCA
investigation
A CHRISTCHURCH woman has
been disqualified from owning
horses for 10 years.
The SPCA said it prosecuted
Lisa Corfield for recklessly illtreating
four horses.
Corfield pleaded guilty at the
district court on Wednesday
and was sentenced to 250 hours
community work, ordered to
pay $300 towards legal costs and
$7046 in reparations.
She was also disqualified from
owning horses for 10 years, and
her seven horses currently in
SPCA custody were forfeited to
the SPCA.
The SPCA said the case was
started in March 2017, when
its inspectors responded to an
animal welfare complaint about
nine horses belonging to Corfield.
The defendant was already
known to the SPCA, as there had
been a number of complaints and
welfare issues identified as far
back as 2013, the SPCA said.
The grass in the horses’
paddocks was so low that there
was no grazeable grass, and 30
per cent of the grass surface was
contaminated with faeces.
There was no evidence of an
additional feed supply.
Of the nine horses, four were
assessed to be in emaciated
body condition and two were
in thin body condition. Due to
the immediate concern for the
horses and their lack of food,
a veterinarian was called in to
assess the animals and hay was
fed out.
A notice was left at the
property, requesting the
defendant urgently contact the
SPCA.
However, no contact was
received, and the SPCA
consequently seized all nine
horses.
A veterinarian assessed four
of the horses – named Karma,
Sophie, Angel and Diamond – as
having a body condition score
of zero out of five – or extremely
emaciated.
Two of the horses died. One
was euthanised two days later and
another was put down six months
later. The remaining horses
were brought back to health and
transferred to foster homes.

From bake-off to take-off
Uni student
on Mars
research
project
LARISSA WILSON is preparing
for the voyage of a lifetime: A
mission to Mars – or at least an
experience that comes close.
Last year, Miss Wilson starred
in New Zealand TV series, The
Great Kiwi Bake Off, a spin-off
of one of the United Kingdom’s
most popular shows, the Great
British Bake Off.
The Canterbury
University mechanical
engineering student wanted
to prove there was a science to
baking.
Now, her degree is taking
her to the Mars Desert Research
Station in Utah, United States,
where she
will spend two weeks
researching.
The station, owned and
operated by the Mars Society,
is a space analogue facility
supporting earth-based research
in pursuit of the technology,
operations and science required
for human space exploration.
Set in a Utah desert much
like the Mars surface, the
station offers opportunities for
field studies as they would be
conducted during an actual space
mission.
Said Miss Wilson: “I am
incredibly excited to take part
in a simulated Mars mission
with a crew of talented and

knowledgeable people from

“I have loved the idea of
space exploration and learning
about outer space since I was
a small child. I feel incredibly
honoured to have been selected
as part of Expedition Boomerang
and I’m eager to experience what
being an early explorer of the red
planet might be like.
“Some of these projects will
require me to take on a lot of
new information and I hope to
learn about the application of a
range of fields of science such as
geology and human biology in an
‘alien’ setting.
“I also hope to complete some
of my own research, possibly
in the realm of acoustics
engineering which is the field
in which I plan to work,” Miss
Wilson said.
New Zealand has been
involved with the Mars
Desert Research Station since
2011.

Abortion Legalisation Bill: Miriam’s
• By Sophie Cornish
MIRIAM WAS just like any
other 20-year-old in the 1980s.
But, after being told by
her doctor she was unable to
conceive, she fell pregnant.
“The unthinkable happened
and at 20 years of age I fell
pregnant to a young man who
was bordering on alcoholism,”
she said.
Like a lot of other young
women her age, Miriam’s biggest
fear was what her parents would
think.
“My mother was very
supportive of whatever decision
I made. I couldn’t bring myself
to tell my father and swore my
mother to secrecy.”
The events that followed
changed Miriam’s life forever.
Now in her 50s, Miriam
wanted to share her story in
front of the Select Committee for
the Abortion Legalisation Bill,
designed to hear the views of the
New Zealand public.
But she was denied the
opportunity, along with 95 per
cent of submitters who wanted to
speak.
In August, the first reading of
the Bill passed overwhelmingly

free of their party.
The Bill still has two more
readings to complete before
coming law.
The select committee, which
must present its findings to
Parliament before February 8,
confirmed earlier this month
it had received 25,000 written
submissions on the proposed Bill.
But, it only heard 150 oral
submissions, out of 2890 people
who asked to speak.
The committee previously said
it would be highly unusual to
hear all of the submitters and that
the quality of the input, not the
speed of the process, was the only
consideration.
It said it ensured all major
organisations and different
perspectives were heard and
invited submitters from a range
of industries such legal experts,
medical professionals, faith-based
organisations, national bodies,
and individuals.
‘Who could feel
comfortable in this place?
We’re all there for the same
reason. We’re all suffering
in one way or another with
the decision we’ve made’
– Miriam
In comparison, the End of
Life Choice Bill, which aims to
legalise voluntary euthanasia,
received a record 35,000
submissions last year, while
same-sex marriage legislation in
2012 had 22,000.
The Euthanasia Bill heard 1350
oral submissions over 16 months.
Unable to share her story to
the committee, Miriam spoke
to The Star about her choice to
terminate her unborn child and
her struggle of failing to conceive
again and have any children of
her own.
At a late stage, 12 weeks along,
Miriam said she made a rushed
decision to terminate her baby
upon pressure she felt from a
medical clinic to decide what to do.
“I needed to make a decision
quickly. I felt pressured. Driving
with my mother to the abortion
clinic I still had thoughts of
calling it off.”
Miriam described the “long
and uneasy silence” among the
other women waiting at the
abortion clinic.

“Who could feel comfortable in
this place? We’re all there for the
same reason. We’re all suffering
in one way or another with the
decision we’ve made.”
Miriam later admitted her
experience was a “terrible mistake.”
“I was afraid I wouldn’t be able
to cope. There is nothing easy
about abortion because life is
being taken away.
“In speaking to my mother later,
she told me that she had spoken to
Dad about it. His only words were:
‘What a selfish thing to do.’ I hadn’t
even considered his feelings as the
grandfather of that child. I wish I’d
told him. I wish he’d told me how
he really felt.
“The father of the child was
distraught. His parents were
extremely angry at me. I didn’t get
it. Now I do,” she said.
Years later, Miriam went
through counselling and married
in her late-30s.
“I never thought I wouldn’t have
children.”
After several years of marriage
without being able successfully
conceive, Miriam found out she
was sub-fertile and her husband
had a low sperm count.
Later, she was diagnosed with
cancer in her uterus and tried
to refuse treatment, in the hope
she would still fall pregnant.
Eventually, she said she had no
other choice but to undergo a
hysterectomy.
“I looked into the possibility of
adopting children, but it was too
late for us. Because my husband
is several years older than me, we
were now considered too old to
adopt in New Zealand.”
Miriam hoped when making her
oral submission, that she could tell
the committee she believes it has
a responsibility to make balanced
and well-informed decisions on
behalf of its constituents.
“Especially when the decisions
you make affect the life and death
of human beings like yourself.
We need to start thinking about
the value of the life of each
and every unborn child, the
future they might have, and the
responsibility we have to them
as consenting adults in the first
place,” she said.

chance to speak out
What is the Bill and what
will it mean?
•Currently, abortions are
available in New Zealand
but the procedure sits under
the Crimes Act, a law
which dates back to 1977.
•In order to undergo an
abortion, two certified
medical consultants both
must agree to terminate
the pregnancy on the
grounds that failure to do
so would pose a serious
danger to a woman’s mental
or physical health.
•Currently, about 98 per
cent of abortions are performed
under the mental
health clause.
•The new Bill seeks to have
abortion services provided
like other health services
and would remove the
current legal requirements
for authorising an abortion.
•The new Bill would allow
a person to refer
themselves to an abortion
service provider, unless
the person was more
than 20 weeks pregnant,
then a health practitioner
would be required to give
authorisation through a
statutory test.
•For the test, the health
practitioner will have to
reasonably believe the
abortion is appropriate
with regard to the pregnant
woman’s physical
and mental health, and
well-being.
•The Abortion Supervisory
Committee will be disestablished
under the new
laws.
•The new Bill would also
allow 150m safe zones to
be established around
specific abortion facilities
where previously people
have been harassed.
•It will still be illegal for an
unqualified person to try
to perform an abortion,
and causing the death of
an unborn child by harming
a pregnant woman will
remain an offence.
•Medical practitioners who
don’t comply would face
consequences from their
medical bodies, rather
than under the Crimes Act.
•The process for practitioners
who conscientiously
object to providing abortion
services will also be
amended.
•Health practitioners
must make it clear when
advising people who
are considering or have
had, an abortion, that
counselling services are
available.

No prosecution
over death
of electrician
• By Sophie Cornish
WORKSAFE WILL not be
prosecuting after a young father
was electrocuted and killed last
year.
Tuainekore Uri-Ke, 30, died in
November when working on an
electrical fit-out in an office building
on Victoria St.
Said a Work-

“WorkSafe

any further action
in relation to

the incident. The
matter will now
be passed on to

Countrywide Group director
Richard Diver, the company that
owns the building, declined to
comment on the investigation
but said the incident was a “tragic
and sad outcome for everyone
involved.”
A GoFundMe page, started
in November raised more than
$18,500 for Mr Uri-Ke’s wife and
young daughter.

Cycling to school not what it used to be
• By Louis Day
IN THE late 1970s, up to 75 per
cent of students were making
their daily commute by bicycle to
some high schools.
However, new statistics from
the city council show few schools
had more than 10 per cent of
students cycling to school last
year.
While the city
council statistics
from 1979 showed
75 per cent of
Burnside High
students cycled to
school, last year
Phil
only seven per cent
were making the
trip by bicycle.
Holstein
Burnside High principal Phil
Holstein said the latest figures are
“sad but not surprising.”
“Looking at the nature of
the school’s location on a very
busy Memorial Ave/Greers
Rd intersection, the volume of
traffic is a significant part of that
[students cycling less]. I don’t
think parents think it is safe to
let their young children bike to
school,” he said.
The schools with more than
60 per cent of students cycling in
the 1970s were Cashmere High
(60 per cent), Christchurch Boys’
High (67 per cent), Christchurch
Girls’ High (64 per cent) and
Papanui High (73 per cent). But
last year, only 13 per cent of
Cashmere High students cycled
to school, while eight per cent of
Papanui High students did.
Out of 15 schools recently
surveyed, Christ’s College
had the highest proportion of
students cycling to school last
year with 34 per cent.
The second highest was CBHS
with 25 per cent. It also had
the second highest increase in
students cycling between 2016
and 2018 with a six per cent rise.
CGHS experienced the highest
rise with a 10 per cent increase to
15 per cent.
City councillor Sara Templeton
felt the increases had a lot to do
with the opening of the Uni-
Cycle route in 2016, which runs
adjacent to CBHS and CGHS.
“It’s the one thing that seems
to be the most different to the
other schools, it’s having a high
amenity cycleway right next
to it. Before I was elected as
a community board member
and a councillor, I was part of a
travel safe planning group at a
local school and we did lots of
surveying and lots of kids wanted
to bike to school and the key
thing that stopped them from
biking was the parents perception
of safety,” she said.
CBHS principal Nic Hill said
it is possible the Uni-Cycle route
has contributed to the rise. But he
NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK:

at Burnside High School.
also thought the
growth of cycling
as a sport could be
contributing to the
increase.
“Cycling is a
growing sport
here, we are
the national
Nic Hill
champions here
two years in a row. Cycling as a
sport is on a rise nationally and
certainly at Boys’ High.”
However, CBHS and CGHS
are not the only schools located
next to a cycleway. Papanui High
sits next to the Northern Line
Cycleway and experienced a one
per cent decrease in students
cycling to school between 2016
and 2018.

No more a dog’s life for these pooches
• By Sophie Cornish
FOR ALMOST three years
Sapphire waited at a dog shelter
in the hope that someone would
take her home.
Luckily for Sapphire, her
soon-to-be owner was familiar
in dealing with challenging
canines.
Jennifer Hooper’s other dog,
Stark, was adopted into her
family from a chequered, violent
past.
Stark arrived at Christchurch
Bull Breed Rescue after a vet who
was supposed to euthanise him
believed he deserved a better life.
After being rescued from a
gang house during a police raid
in Porirua, Stark was found with
cigarette burns on his body and
severely damaged ears.
Said Mrs Hooper: “We’ve always
had dogs but for better use
of a word, we were reasonably
snobby about it, we had expensive
dogs. We had a bichon frise
and a siberian husky.
“But, never again. When you
see the difference in rescue dogs,
what they bring into your family,
we would only go with rescue dogs
again in the future.”
Mrs Hooper’s latest challenge
was to build a relationship
between Sapphire and Stark,
so Sapphire could be adopted,
almost three years after CBBR
picked her up in 2016, when she
was 11-months-old.
PALS: Jennifer Hooper
with Sapphire (left)
and Stark.
CBBR founder Abbey van der
Plas said little was known about
her life before the shelter.
Said Mrs Hooper: “We got
Sapphire home after a very long
process of training. When I say
training, that’s me being trained
in how to look after her.”
Sapphire’s ‘quirks’ meant Mrs
Hooper visited the shelter weekly
for six weeks to become familiar
with her, with the help of one of
the shelter’s volunteers, Denise
Balloch. Public outings were
also required to get Sapphire
comfortable with being around
strangers.
Then later, Mrs Hooper would
bring Stark along and eventually
they went on ‘doggie dates’ and
had ‘doggie sleepovers.’
“I knew it was a massive commitment
to take on a dog like
that. My work was really flexible
and I was able to go in later, so
I could be at the shelter. I was
at the shelter for about three or
four hours per week. Then later I
began picking Sapphire up also,
two times a week.’’
After five months of this,
Sapphire’s adoption papers were
signed, late last month.
She has been living with her
new family, Mrs Hooper, her
husband and two sons, aged 19
and 21.
“She still sleeps in a crate, for
routine. But whoever is up first
in the morning will let her out
and she will hop into bed with
whoever is still sleeping.
“She’s got a lot of quirks but
she’s settling in really well,’’ Mrs
Hooper said.
A happy ending has come
for a heavily pregnant
dog found wandering the
streets in Papanui.
Lola and her five puppies
were surrendered to the
care of SPCA and now all
but one have now been
adopted.
SPCA senior animal
welfare inspector
Samantha Cairns said Lola
was found wandering the
streets and was so heavily
pregnant, staff were able
to see the puppies moving
inside her.
“She was very obviously
heavily pregnant. We didn’t
want her having babies on
the street.”
Lola’s owner was found,
but it was decided the best
for the dog was for her to
be surrendered to the care
of SPCA.
Now, Lola has been
adopted by an SPCA staff
member.
“Esta is one of our senior
canine animal attendants.
She was working with her
throughout her journey
and fell in love with her and
decided to adopt her,” Miss
Cairns said.
Her five puppies, four
males and one female, all
have Lion King-themed
names.

rescue
•From page 1
The woman was then
winched off the mountain.
She had non-life-threatening
injuries, including multiple
limb fractures, friction burns,
a suspected spinal injury and
multiple lacerations to her body,
Garden City Helicopters general
manager Simon Duncan said.
Prior to the rescue, two other
experienced climbers had
abseiled down into the valley
to find the fallen climber and
disaster nearly struck again.
“Well, you don’t normally
climb in that valley, because it
is very difficult to get out. They
were quite experienced climbers,
one of them was a Red Cross
medic in Lebanon,” Senior
Constable McCormack said.
“They were about 100m away.
But the helicopter got to her first,
which was great.”
The climbers then heard a
rumble. We were still up on
the ridge and then there was
an avalanche that came down,
within metres of the two guys. I
was watching it from up in the
valley. I heard the rumble and
they started running.
“They ran onto the rocks and
the avalanche passed within
metres of them. We were lucky
they didn’t get smoked into that,”
he said.

Governors Bay jetty sold for $1
• By Jess Gibson
THE GOVERNORS Bay Jetty
sold for $1 yesterday.
The historic, 300m wooden
structure has been closed since
2011 after a post-earthquake
inspection found it to be unsafe.
The Governors Bay Jetty
Restoration Trust bought it from
the city council to enact an
agreement and take ownership of
the jetty so it can start its repair
project.
Deputy Mayor and city councillor
Andrew Turner was at the
jetty yesterday to officiate the sale
during a ceremony held at 11am.
Due to the deteriorated state of
the piles, the sub-structure needs
replacing.
The trust will raise the deck
height by 1m to allow for
sea-level rise caused by climate
change.
Over the years, money to
rebuild the jetty has been raised
by the community in many
ways – including music festivals,
calendar sales, art sales and
Christmas gift packs.

advised, she said. A St John alert
said two ambulance crews had
attended the incident and had
taken one critically injured
person to Christchurch Hospital.
Another person had been treated
at the scene.
Jail sentence after
violent incident
Leonie Sherie Cook, 27, was
sentenced in the High Court
on Wednesday, 11 months
after she dropped 25-year-old
Shayne George Heappey at
Christchurch Hospital with 14
stab wounds from a gang attack
by members of the Nomads.
The mother had arrived late and
out of breath for the sentencing
which took place before Justice
Rachel Dunningham. Justice
Dunningham jailed her for two
years and three months for her
role in the violent incident, and
added another two years for
her methamphetamine dealing.
Cook had admitted both
charges.

Long wait for
tram shelter
• By Jess Gibson
RESIDENTS ARE frustrated they
will have to wait until the end of
December to use the Moncks Bay
tram shelter.
City council transport
operations manager Steffan
Thomas said in April the 85-yearold
shelter on Main Rd was likely
to be repaired and re-opened
before the end of September.
However, he now says further
design work on the maintenance
and strengthening of the shelter
is required, which
will then need to
be signed off by the
city council heritage
team.
In January, the
Redcliffs Residents
Christine
Toner
Association was critical
of the progress
made on the shelter
after the city council closed it the
month before due to earthquake
vulnerability.
Now association chairwoman
Christine Toner says she is “very
disappointed” city council staff
did not keep their word to have it
finished by September. She said
the association was not told about
the delay.
“We would like it to be given
priority. It’s a precious piece of
equipment and one of the few
historic treasures we have left on
the waterfront,” Ms Toner said.

TEENAGER Maddie Collins is
recovering after signs of kidney
rejection left her in Starship
Hospital for a week.
The Star has been following
the 15-year-old’s battle with
the kidney disease, nephrotic
syndrome, since 2014.
She underwent her second
kidney transplant in January last
year.
A recent blood
test showed
Maddie’s
creatinine levels
had spiked to 330.
Typically, 60-80
is normal and
Maddie’s normal
is about 170.
Her mother
Sarah Manson-
Collins said the
raised levels started a whirlwind
of scans, needles and tests
which landed them in Starship
Hospital, Auckland.
“We got rushed into
Christchurch Hospital with some
IV fluids hoping that would
resolve it but it didn’t,” Mrs
Manson-Collins said.
“We were then flown to Starship
where she had a kidney biopsy that
showed she had another bout of
rejection.”
Maddie then started a course
of high dose steroids, and

Hospital after a biopsy showed her body was rejecting
her new kidney.
has since responded to the
treatment. She flew back to
Christchurch with her mother
last week.
Mrs Manson-Collins said it
will be another week before they
know if any permanent damage
has been done to Maddie’s
kidney.
“It just shows us how vulnerable
and fragile her health is. When
she’s well, then she’s well, but when
she’s sick, she is really sick.
“As of right now, she is doing
okay. She’s pretty exhausted
from the side effects of such a
high dose steroids.”
In spite of the health scare,
Maddie competed in the
Canterbury Dressage Spring
Series equestrian competition
at McLeans Island on Sunday,
winning the intro ponies
division.
“As a mum, it’s really
delightful to watch her compete
because riding is Maddie’s
lifeline. I know that she’s ready
to tackle anything and can keep
going when she is determined to
ride,” she said.
Maddie was donated a kidney
six years ago by her father Adam
but her body rejected it.
She then received what was
termed a ‘miracle’ second kidney
transplant in January last year
after being told there was only a
two per cent chance of finding a
match in New Zealand.
They were planning a trip to
The John Hopkins Hospital in
Baltimore, United States, to find
one when they were notified an
organ had been found.
However, Maddie ended up
at Starship Hospital in July this
year with signs her new kidney
was failing. She was struggling
with its declining function and
high blood pressure.

A More Open China
Benefits the World
FAMILY: Helena Dinnissen with her children Kees, 9, Evelyn, 4, and Imri, 6.
Goal to become
NZ’s fastest mum
• By Georgia O’Connor-
Harding
HELENA Dinnissen is
living proof becoming a
mother does not mean
having to give up pursuing
a lifelong dream.
After a long battle with
anxiety and depression
throughout her 20s, the
Wigram resident, 35,
decided to start over with
a sport she loved as a
teenager two years ago.
Now Mrs Dinnissen,
a mother of three, has
had her biggest sporting
achievement yet – winning
nine gold medals in the
Oceania Masters Athletics
Championships.
It is the biggest medal
haul in her career with her
winning nine golds.
“It felt pretty crazy
amazing, some events, in
particular, I was genuinely
blown away with my results,
and especially proud
of the records I broke,” Mrs
Dinnissen said.
She won gold for sprints,
jumps and hurdles, 60m,
100m, 200m, 400m, 100m
hurdles, 400m hurdles,
long jump, triple jump and
high jump.
Mrs Dinnissen’s biggest
achievement was high
jump with her clearing
1.71m.
“I’m only 1.68m tall,
and my previous best was
1.55m so this was a huge
improvement and to jump
over my height just blew
me away. I honestly never
thought I could do that”.
Her goal is to now become
‘New Zealand’s fastest
mum’ with her set to compete
in the World Masters
AMBITION:
Helena
Dinnissen is
encouraging
other mothers
to get into
athletics
PHOTOS:
GEOFF SLOAN
Athletics Championships in
Toronto next year.
She is currently training
six days a week for about
one-and-a-half to two
hours each day in the leadup
to the event.
Mrs Dinnissen is training
to compete in the
heptathlon (200m, 800m,
long jump, high jump,
100m hurdles, shot put and
javelin and said she “would
love to win”.
“I hope to medal in all
of them, of course golds
would be amazing,” she
said.
Although she loved
athletics as a teenager,
throughout her 20s, Mrs
Dinnissen struggled with
low self-worth, depression
and anxiety.
“I never knew how to ask
for help, or have the skills
to persevere. It was heartbreaking
to be honest, I
regretted it all my 20s that I
had not pursued a sporting
career,” Mrs Dinnissen said.
She also believed she
could never pursue her
sporting dreams after starting
a family at 25.
But at 32-years-old,
following her third child,
Mrs Dinnissen decided
she wanted to get moving
again.
“I had been doing so
much work on myself mentally
and finally had the
strength to fight. It started
with a jog and has turned
into this”.
Mrs Dinnissen is encouraging
other mothers
to get into athletics.
“I am totally biased, but
yes, there is something for
everyone. I think when you
start competing and get
times it gives you a focus, to
work towards and challenge
yourself rather than exercising
just for the sake of it.”
On top of juggling
training and raising three
children, Mrs Dinnissen
runs a small fundraising
business targeted at preschools,
schools and charities
which turns photos
and artwork into jewellery
and key-chains.
On top of her high sporting
achievements, Mrs
Dinnissen has overcome
serious health issues
including endometrioses,
prolapses discs, a fractured
spine and torn hips.
Mrs Dinnissen will need
$20,000 to cover both
the trip to Toronto and
training leading up to the
event.

The second China International
Import Expo (CIIE) is launched
again in Shanghai this year. The
Import Expo, first of its kind in the
world, was initiated by President
Xi Jinping during the Belt and
Road Forum for International
Cooperation in 2017, sending out a
clear signal of China’s conviction to
open its door wider.
3000 plus enterprises from more
than 170 countries have registered
for CIIE this year, including more
from the Fortune Global 500, and
there are more new products and
technologies to be released.
New Zealand enterprises achieved
great success during the first CIIE
last year. Their transactions with
114 Chinese procurers amounted
to over 590 million US dollars,
100 thousand US dollars of deals
reached for each square metres of
display. Besides giants like Fonterra
and Silver Fern, more New Zealand
enterprises including many SMEs
have registered independently this
year, covering broader areas like
e-commerce, bio pharmaceutical,
aviation and ecological products
besides the traditional primary
industries.
As the world’s largest market with
more than 400 million middleincome
earners, China has become
top trading partner of more than
120 economies including New
Zealand, and is estimated to import
more than 30 trillion US dollars
worth of goods and 10 trillion US
dollars worth of service within the
next 15 years. CIIE has provided
a “fast track” for enterprises
worldwide to explore the vast
Chinese market through directly
interacting with clients and getting
easy access to latest policies and
information.
Hosting the annual CIIE is
another significant step of China
to further open up. We understand
growth is impossible if we close the
door, and neither could we shut the
troubles out. Against the backdrop
of rising protectionism and
unilateralism, China firmly upholds
building an open world economy,
trying to make the “cake” bigger
rather than only seeking a bigger
share for ourselves.
Confucius once pointed out,
“those who want to establish
themselves should begin by helping
others to do so and those who want
to prosper should begin by helping
others to get rich.” China seeks
to align development strategies
with international partners, and
share opportunities of growth with
the rest of the world. Since the
international financial crisis broke
out in 2008, China has contributed
one third of economic growth to
the world for consecutive years.
The global communities are
in the same boat when faced
undergoing profound changes
unseen in a century. The winnertakes-all
mentality will only end
up in intense frictions and blocks
the way of finding constructive
solutions. China is committed to
building a common roof to shed
wind and storm for all, contributing
wisdom and confidence to global
governance and providing more
public goods including the Belt and
Road initiative to promote global
interconnectivity.
China’s rapid development has
helped to strengthen the bilateral
relationship with New Zealand,
bringing tangible benefits to both
peoples. Our bilateral trade volume
has reached the goal of 30 billion
NZ dollars one year ahead of the set
time table, meaning two days’ trade
volume today equals to that of the
whole year in 1972 when the two
countries established diplomatic
ties. This year is the China-New
Zealand Tourism year, and the 400
thousand plus Chinese tourists
visiting New Zealand each year have
given strong boost to local tourism
and retail industries. The bilateral
practical cooperation has also
expanded to new areas like winter
sports as China will host the Winter
Olympics in 2022.
Differences in size of country,
social system and cultural traditions
have never stood in the way of
our bilateral cooperation. Both
countries have regarded the success
of the other as opportunities, and
learnt to seek common grounds
while resolving differences through
friendly consultation. Our two
countries also share consensus
in safeguarding multilateral
trade regimes and a rule-based
international order as well as
promoting global collaboration
on climate change and sustainable
development. A growing and more
open China will be beneficial to
the world and to the development
of our bilateral relations oriented
toward the future.

Spend Saturday
at the Hororata
Highland Games
HORORATA businesses are in
for a huge boost on Saturday.
The annual Hororata Highland
Games sees the area swell by
about 10,000 people.
GAS Hororata owner Margaret
Cross said it is the best day of the
year for businesses.
“It brings people in and helps
to fund us. All in all, it’s just a
great day for tourism in Hororata,”
she said.
The games are put on by the
Hororata Community Trust at
the Hororata Domain.
A new feature this year will be
the Best Dressed Lad and Lassie
competition.
Said event manager Cindy
Driscoll: “We are looking forward
with excitement to see a
range of creative tartan outfits
paraded on the main stage following
the welcome ceremony
to be judged by fashion industry
icons,” she said.
The games chieftain will be
entrepreneur and business owner
Peri Drysdale.
Ms Dysdale founded fashion
company Untouched World,
which produces ecologically
sustainable clothing, and
founded the Untouched World
Foundation, which runs the
leadership for sustainable future
programmes.
Scotland is close to her heart as
her husband was born there and
her son now lives in Edinburgh,
Ms Drysdale said.
The games will also host
the country’s biggest one-day
Highland Dancing competition,
as well as top-level pipe band,
solo pipers and strong men and
women competitions.
“The competitions are no doubt
the heart of the games but the
festival surrounding them is what
really elevates the event to the
next level. In amongst the stalls,
food vendors and fairground, you
expect to find at a festival there
are some activities and entertainment
which are inimitable to the
games,” said Mrs Driscoll.
•The Hororata Highland
Games will be held on
Saturday at the Hororata
Domain from 9am to
4.30pm. Early bird tickets
are on sale for $20 an
adult and $5 a child until
tomorrow. For m,ore

Industrious students win Young Enterprise Scheme
• By Jess Gibson
CASHMERE High School
students have proven themselves
to be up-and-coming
entrepreneurs.
Josh McKernan, of Woolston,
Lukas Hornell, of Cashmere,
Lyttelton’s Finn McCabe, and
Eddie Hogan, of Mt Pleasant,
came out on top
at the Young
Enterprise
Scheme
regional finals
and awards
with their new
product named
JELF.
Matt Benassi
They teamed
up to create
the ecofriendly
alternative to A4 and A3
laminating pouches.
The group also won the
opportunity to present JELF at
the national finals in Wellington
on December 4. Finn said the
members put their heads together
at the start of the year in a bid to
invent a new product as part of
their business studies project.
He said as they discussed their
ideas, they wrote them down on a
sheet of laminated paper.
However, it ended up being
the laminated paper itself which
sparked their product idea.
The awards were held at Ara,
YOUNG, SUCCESSFUL

in the competition, which was
narrowed down to six finalists.
Along with the top award, JELF
also won the Powell Fenwick YES

Finn said the accolades felt
“absolutely amazing.”

“We never expected this at the

He is moving to Wellington to
study a Bachelor of Commerce at
Victoria University next year, but
said he will continue to focus on
getting JELF off the ground with
his teammates.
“At the moment we haven’t
sold anything, but we’ve started
making pre-sales,” he said.
The group is also looking to
create other products such as
shrink wrap. Another group of
Cashmere High School students
finished second at the awards
with their company Pivot.

OPINION
The coming week
in our history
November 7, 1970 –
Long-haired Christchurch
mountaineers John Glasgow and
Peter Gough became the first
people known to have scaled the
2000m Caroline Face of Aoraki/
Mt Cook. They declared it a
‘triumph for the hippies.’
November 8, 1936 – New
Zealanders Griff Maclaurin
and Steve Yates were part of
the International Column of
anti-fascist volunteers which
marched into Madrid, bolstering
the city’s defences against the
assault of General Francisco
Franco’s rebel armies. Both men
were killed in battle within two
days of arriving.
November 9, 1769 – James
Cook helped his astronomer
Charles Green observe the
transit of Mercury at Te
Whanganui-o-Hei (Mercury
Bay), Coromandel Peninsula.
November 10, 1868 – The
Matawhero ‘massacre’ was
Te Kooti’s utu for his exile
to the Chatham Islands and
subsequent events. In the
middle of the night, around 100
men, 60 on horseback, forded
the Waipāoa River and moved
quietly towards Matawhero. By
dawn, they had killed about 60
people of all ages in the Pākehā
settlement and adjacent Māori
settlements. Most of those who
escaped the slaughter ran to
Tūranganui (Gisborne), 6km
away, while some fled south
towards Māhia.
November 11, 1978 – With
two minutes to play in the test
match against Wales, All Black
lock Andy Haden flung himself
sideways from a lineout in an
attempt to secure a matchwinning
penalty. English referee
Roger Quittenton duly awarded
a penalty to the All Blacks 15m
infield. Brian McKechnie the
goal and New Zealand held on
to win amidst vehement booing.
They went on to become the
first All Black touring team
to achieve the Grand Slam by
defeating all four home unions.
Readers respond to an
Environment Canterbury
and NZ Transport
Agency report which
found almost half of
Canterbury drivers claim
to have better than
average driving abilities
Scotty Wilson – And
about 80 per cent can’t even
keep left unless passing.
Petrina Rooney – I did
the survey and compared to the
amount of other people I see
who don’t stop at stop signs,
don’t indicate or use the correct
lane when turning a corner,
don’t drive to the conditions, I
consider myself above average.
Andrea Lamont – And
half the drivers are still on
learner’s or restricted (licences)
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Jenny: Why won’t you talk to us?
THE PUBLICLY-elected new
chairwoman of Environment
Canterbury has tripped at her
first hurdle – Jenny Hughey is
not doing interviews.
The Star wanted to profile
Hughey in today’s issue in our
regular Our People segment.
Our People is a light and
bright question and answer
interview about who the person
is, their interests and so on. We
do it on the phone or in person.
Hughey – who is on a nice
$180,000 a year salary – was
elected by the public alongside
other councillors as part of
a new look and long overdue
democratic ECan.
But Hughey would only do an
interview if The Star submitted
written questions through
ECan’s communications team.
The communications team
provide information and
answers to the news media from
the various managers and the
chief executive.
It is the same for the city
council, police and other public
sector organisations. Some call
communications teams blocks
or spin doctors.
This way of dealing with
the public via the media often
means a journalist doesn’t get to
Jenny Hughey
put managers and others, who
are in key public sector positions
and answerable to the people, on
the spot. Questions are asked to
be submitted in written form,
– some having these for 10
years. What is with that?
Brenda Te Koeti – Above
average capacity to drive
recklessly.
Benjamin Curtin – And
70 per cent of them are thicker
than cold porridge.
Susan Lightbown – I
think all drivers think they are
From the
editor’s desk
Barry Clarke
vetted by the communications
teams, answered by the
managers, signed off and sent
back to the journalist. To be
fair, communications teams are
useful and helpful.
But back to Hughey. She
wanted our questions to her sent
to the ECan communications
team.
Our People interviews are not
written and answer, they are
verbal interviews, in person or
on the phone.
We also believe publiclyelected
officials like councillors,
whether it be city council
or ECan, shouldn’t be using
communications teams as a
vetting service.
So we didn’t send the
questions to the ECan
communications team.
Here is what we wanted to ask
Hughey:
What will be your priorities
over the next three years and
good drivers, and to be honest,
at times that includes me. Just
human nature.
Carolyn Thompson –
Doubt that very much. Bunch of
red light runners. So dangerous.
Nurses at Christchurch
Hospital say their safety
is under threat because
of a lack of staff car
parks near the building
how will you achieve them?
What expertise do you bring to
the role? What made you want
to run for ECan? Do you think
we are in a climate emergency?
Have you participated in any of
the climate protests? How will
you be addressing the climate
emergency? What are you doing
to reduce your carbon footprint?
Are nitrates in the water supply
a concern of yours? Where did
you grow up? Do you have a
family? What are your hobbies?
The questions were not too
difficult.
But hold the phone. ECan’s
communication team tells us
they will be writing profiles on
Hughey and the other publiclyelected
councillors for its
website for the public to read.
There’s no problem with that
but it seems incredulous that
Hughey, who will lead ECan in
arguably its toughest three years
for some time, doesn’t seem to
have the confidence to talk to a
journalist.
With major issues like water
and air quality, transport and
global warming being a huge
part of our future, side-stepping
talking direct to the news media
will simply not be good enough.
barry@starmedia.kiwi
Annabel Temple-
Furman – I seriously don’t
know what goes on inside the
heads of these well-paid urban
planners. Common sense must
be lacking somewhere because
the wider hospital parking issue
has been going on for the past
47 years. Is it really that difficult?
Any modern, expansive medical
campus requires adequate on
site parking.
Jan Elizabeth – I am
sure there is plenty of land
nearby, thanks to earthquakes,
that could be used for a high
rise parking building. This
should have been a priority
and required before any more
building was consented. I have
often noticed the huge stress
people feel about parking as
opposed to the reason they are
going to the hospital.

HOW MANY people out
there did anything for
Halloween last week?
Last year we didn’t do
anything, but as Vittoria is
a bit bigger now I wanted
to at least try take her
door-to-door in costume.
You know, to get lollies
for me. Got to keep her
health in mind.
I formulated a plan with
my cousin – we would take
her along the other flats
on the property before
heading over to a kids’
Halloween party at the
Phillipstown Community
Hub.
On Wednesday night
Vittoria and I had stayed in
Waikuku Beach. Normally,
I would have spent the
next day out there, taking
Vittoria to the beach or
playground, before heading
home after her noon
nap.
However, this time after
a morning beach walk, I’d
got a real bee in my bonnet
on the idea of getting
her home before her nap.
Why? No idea. To see if I
could, I guess?
Even though I knew I
would be cutting it fine, I
raced about gathering up
our things – forgetting a
bunch in the process – and
rushed out the door with
a pretty lively, smiley toddler.
As we made our way
along State Highway 1,
Vittoria babbled on about
the things going by, sang
along to some songs and
made positive noises that
my flimsy plan was going
to work.
Midway along
Marshland Rd the wheels
fell off (figuratively) when
she yawned, got comfy and
promptly fell asleep.
No toddler ever has had
a normal nap after a 20min
car nap, so by the time my
cousin arrived a few hours
later, Vittoria had had
about enough of the day.
In spite of some whining
and grumping as I got
her costume together, she
graciously let me put the
massively cute pumpkin
petticoat on. She seemed
to get a positivity boost
when she realised the point
of the costume was to go
outside and door-knock
for lollies.
While she was happy,
she was still bone tired
by the time we arrived at
the community hub. She
managed to be excited to
see all the other kids, stare
in amazement at some of
great costumes on display,
listen to some of the classic

Spooktacular sleepyhead
I WANTED to use what is
my first column of the new
term by paying tribute to
someone who served her
community with a passion
and a commitment anyone
would be proud of, and
that is former councillor
and Deputy Mayor Lesley
Keast, who served her city
for 18 years.
There isn’t enough space
to describe all that she did,
but I did want to honour
her catalyst for entering
public life, which was to
ensure that the voice and
experience of those who
have little power over their
lives was not only heard,
but respected and acted
on.
She was a true
champion for the many
communities that made up
TRICK OR TREAT: The wee pumpkin collecting
lollies along a block of flats.

Lianne Dalziel
her ward Wigram and then
Riccarton-Wigram when
they merged.
She led the Mayor’s
Welfare Fund as deputy
mayor and was involved
in numerous community
projects including as chair
of the Multi-Sensory
Facility at Pioneer Stadium
for the Southern Centre
Charitable Trust. She also
served as vice-president of
the board of trustees for
Age Concern from 2004 to
2010.

But it didn’t last long.
Less then 10 minutes after
arriving she’d burst into
tears after briefly losing
sight of me,was not at all
interested in joining in any
games and had attempted
to just kind of walk home
twice.
Honestly, nothing is
cuter than a tiny pumpkinperson
boldy just strolling
off. But the hint was
dropped and I decided to
throw in the towel when
she started almost nodding
off in my arms.
I think I’ll avoid any
racing against nap times in
future.
Tribute to Lesley Keast
mayor, after serving for
three terms on the Paparua
County Council and three
terms on the city council,
a former colleague told
her that she had found
the perfect project to
get her teeth into. And
that was the Teahouse at
Riccarton Park, which she
championed and helped
save.
This is where we will
celebrate her life, the day
before the beginning of
Cup and Show Week on
Saturday.
How perfect.

New solution for a better nights
sleep and improved health!
Deep regenerative sleep is so important to
feeling and performing our best. A lack of or
poor quality sleep is associated with increased
risk for many chronic diseases, including
obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease,
depression, and many more. Unfortunately
many adults report occasional bouts of
insomnia with one in three saying they
suffer from sleeplessness or disturbed sleep
on a more chronic basis, to the point that it
regularly impairs daytime functioning.
The good news is an inexpensive, naturally
occurring amino acid known as glycine has
been clinically researched in Japan and shown
to be highly beneficial in supporting healthy
sleep. Subjects who were given three grams
of glycine one hour before bedtime fell asleep
much sooner, as well as exhibited brainwave
patterns associated with deep sleep compared
to control subjects who did not supplement.
On waking the subjects who took the glycine
woke reporting being refreshed with no
indication that glycine produced a “morning
hangover” or any foggy feeling common
with those who use prescription sleeping
medication.
Glycine is known to accumulate in the
pineal gland and is believed to play and
important role in “disconnecting” the
brain from the body during REM (rapid
eye movement) sleep cycles. Glycine also
supports healthy growth hormone (GH)
secretion that is associated with strength,
good health and vitality whereas low
secretion of GH is associated with advanced
ageing and increased disease.
Other clinical research has shown glycine
supplementation to improve memory and

NIGHTS SLEEP?
Sleep is so important to feeling & performing our best.
Long term poor quality sleep is associated with many
chronic diseases and may even reduce our life span.
New clinical research has found a naturally occurring
amino acid known as glycine may restore a good night’s
sleep. Japanese researchers found patients taking
glycine feel asleep much sooner & exhibited brainwave
patterns associated with deep sleep. On waking the
patients woke refreshed, clear minded & energetic.

attention in young to older adults.
Spanish researchers have studied the effect
of glycine supplementation in 600 subjects
between the ages of four and 85 years
suffering from osteoarthritis, osteoporosis
or physical injuries. Participants were given
five grams of glycine in the morning and five
grams in the evening. In all cases symptoms
significantly improved.
Glycine is a very safe amino acid that
appears to be highly beneficial for a quality

and temperatures rising, it’s
important to keep up a level of
care. After all, we’ve got to have
the garden looking good for all
those summer visitors.
VEGES TO SOW IN
NOVEMBER – TOMATOES
You may already have tomatoes
that are fruiting but in warmer
areas if you move quickly you
can direct sow another batch of
seeds. In colder areas, with their
shorter growing season, save
time by planting ready-started
seedlings.
FLOWERS TO SOW IN
NOVEMBER – MARIGOLD
Petite yellow marigolds are tough
enough to cope with late summer
heat but they have other desirable
attributes, too. They’re renowned
for their ability to attract insects
into the garden, which means
they help maintain a healthy
balance of the good insects (like
hoverflies). Petite yellow’s small
mounds are easy to place in the
garden, either to form a cheery
border or to mix in with other
plants.
FEED IN NOVEMBER –
LAWNS
November is a good time to
feed the lawn and get it into
shape for Christmas. Try an
organic lawn food based on
chicken manure particles that
fertilise gently over a period. Feed
early in the month. Or use an
inorganic, slow release lawn food
with added wetting agent that will
continue to feed for up to three
months.
PRUNE IN NOVEMBER
Check topiaried and formallyshaped
plants. Any unwanted

growth should be removed as
soon as possible.
NOVEMBER PEST WATCH
Rose black spot is starting to
infest bushes. This dreadful
fungal disease is particularly
troublesome in humid coastal
areas. Remove affected leaves,
drop them into a plastic bag
and pop the whole lot into the
bin. Don’t put the leaves in the
compost bin. If you haven’t
already done so, begin spraying
with a good fungicide that
also contains an insecticide
that controls a range of pests,
including mites.

FOOD 31
SEARED STEAK SALAD
WITH BARLEY, GRAPES
AND SUMAC
Ingredients
50g pearl barley, cooked in
1-litre of water for 40min,
drained and cooled
2 rump steaks, about 600g in
total
1 big bunch of flat leaf parsley,
leaves only
350g white grapes
Salt and pepper
Marinade
1 very small onion, grated
1 Tbsp vinegar
1 tsp sumac
1 tsp ground all spice
Pinch of black pepper
Dressing
1 clove of garlic, crushed
1 Tbsp vinegar
4 Tbsp oil
2 tsp sumac
A pinch of all spice
A pinch of coriander
Directions
For the marinade, mix all the

of hours
For the dressing, blend all the
ingredients together and season
with salt and pepper.
Mix the dressing with the cold
barley, parsley leaves and the
grapes and place in a serving
bowl.
Heat a griddle or regular
pan until it is very hot. Sear
the steaks very quickly on
both sides. This will take about
2-3min on the first side and
just 2min on the other for rare,
which works best for a salad.
Let the meat rest for a few
minutes, then slice the steaks
into thin slices and place on top
of the salad.
3 Tbsp olive oil
250g white button mushrooms,
quartered
Salt and pepper
1 large shallot, finely chopped
2 eve apples, cut into 1cm-thick
wedges
1 Tbsp butter

(about 600g)
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken
broth
6 sprigs thyme, plus more for
serving
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 Tbsp dijon mustard
Directions
Heat oven to 190 deg C.
Heat two tablespoons of oil
in large oven-safe skillet on
medium-high.
Add the mushrooms and a
pinch of salt and cook, tossing
occasionally, for 5min.
Add the shallot and cook,
stirring occasionally, until
mushrooms are golden brown
(2-3min), then transfer to a plate.
Add the apples and butter
to the skillet and cook, tossing
occasionally until they begin
to turn golden brown – about
2-3min. Transfer it to a second
plate and wipe skillet clean.
Return skillet to medium.
Rub chicken with remaining
tablespoon oil, season with 1/2
teaspoon each of salt and pepper,
and cook until browned on all
sides, about 10-12min, then
drain excess fat.
Turn the chicken and add the
wine and cook for 1min, then
add broth and thyme.
Return the apples to the skillet,
transfer skillet to the oven, and
bake until chicken is cooked
through, about 7-8min.
Transfer the chicken and apples
to the plate, discard the thyme,
and return the skillet to medium
heat. Whisk in cream and
mustard, then fold in mushroom
mixture and cook until heated
through, about 2min.
Serve with chicken and apples
and additional thyme if desired.

May looking for eighth NZ Cup win
With the country’s biggest
day in harness racing
on Tuesday we continue
our Canterbury sporting
icon series with a man
who has driven his way
to more New Zealand
Trotting Cup wins at
Addington than any other
driver. Sport reporter
Gordon Findlater caught
up with Ricky May
WHEN THE field lines up for
Tuesday’s New Zealand Trotting
Cup, Ricky May will be going for
his eighth win.
However, it’s a four figure
number which has the 61-yearold’s
attention when it comes to
achieving milestones. May currently
has driven more than 2930
winners and hopes to reach 3000
in the next 12 months.
“I thought I could get it this
year actually, but I haven’t really
picked up the right rides lately.
Hopefully they’ll come up,” said
May.
May’s seven cup wins came
aboard Inky Lord (1989), Iraklis
(1997), Mainland Banner (2005),
Monkey King (2009, 2010) and
Terror to Love (2012, 2013). He
says each one came with an immense
feeling of euphoria.
“It’s a fantastic feeling all right.
I don’t get too emotional about it,
but everyone aspires to win a cup
and I’ve been lucky enough to
win seven. Sometimes you can’t
see how you can win it and then
all of a sudden it happens, like
Terror to Love galloping away [in
2013] and coming back. That will
never happen again,” he said.
Although Terror To Love’s remarkable
effort of giving up 30m
to the field in 2013 is arguably
the greatest comeback by a horse
to win the cup, the drive May
rates at the best was his first win
in 1989 with Inky Lord.
“He went amazing. He got
knocked back at the 600, so to
get up and win it was unbelievable,”
he said.

BATTLING THE winter
elements has not deterred a small
group of Ruapuna Speedway
members from carrying on with
stadium developments.
New seating has been installed
in the town bend in time for
Saturdays night’s season opener.
Said Christchurch Speedway
Association president Allan
Daly: “Those old concrete bench
seats have served the speedway
well since 1973, but their time
was up. Spectator comfort is important
and the team have done
a brilliant job.
“The club has again attracted

interference, and drifted back.
However, the gaps ahead had
opened and Inky Lord produced
one of the most explosive finishes
ever seen in cup history to
blast to the front just 5m from
the finishing post.
May starting driving at 19 and
came from a rich pedigree of
harness racing. His father Terry
May was a trainer and driver,
while his grandfather Clarrie
May also trained and drove -
most notably with Loyal Nurse
when it won the Auckland Cup
in 1946.
May’s first race win in the late
1970s driving his grandmother’s
horse Ruling River at a meet in
Geraldine.
“Dad won the first race with
her and then they let me drive
and I went onto win eight races
with her,” said May.
“I came in at a really tough era
there were so many good drivers
around, so I didn’t get many drives
really. I just battled through and
significant sponsor and marketing
partner support. We are able
to support our competitors and
continue the stadium improvements.
A large section of the
pits has been re-surfaced and
construction is about to start on
an elevated hospitality area.”
Daly said that while economic
conditions are certainly tighter
right now, it was important that
the club continued with its improvement
programme.
“We have cut back on a few
things but while being fiscally
careful, we need to continue with
our confidence that our spectator
growth and sponsorship income
give us. All of that rubs off on
Ricky May
didn’t win a lot of races and never
had a lot of drives.”
At the time May was also helping
train with his father who had
more than a dozen horses at the
time. He says in the early days
of his driving
career
he came
through in
an era which
featured
some of harness
racing
greatest drivers
including
the likes
of Mike De
Filippi, Colin De Filippi, Peter
Jones, Maurice McKendry and
Tony Herlihy. He says the racing
was also more brutal than it is
today with different rules.
“Today you just drive in lines,
back then there was pushing and
shoving all the time. You had to
keep up or you got pushed out,”
said May.
the competitors too, so I’m
really excited about the coming
season.”
The Accessman New Zealand
midget car championship, set for
January 23 and 24 will be the big
show for the summer, with good
interest already being shown by
North Island teams, while local
numbers continue to grow.
“We keep on looking at
rewriting the history books.
Edwin Murray in 1968 was the
last South Island victory in the
midget nationals, and while
I’m not putting too much pressure
on our boys to win, the

Jeremy Webb and Glen Durie
A race from the early days
which sticks out to May wasn’t
one he won, but involved a
major crash on the back straight
during a junior driver’s race in
Greymouth.
“The one in front fell over and
then almost the whole field went
over. I managed to get through
the rails and one of the other
drivers – I can’t think who it
was – came sailing in the air and
landed in my dust sheet right in
front me,” he said.
In total May has won more
than 80 group one races. His
highest winning stakes season
came in 2009/10 with $2,031,564
and his only Drivers Premiership
win came in the 2003/2004
season when he drove 105
winners. The greatest individual
day for May came February 16,
1991 when he drove six winners
at Addington. However, two
titles which have somehow
managed to elude him are the
Inter Dominion and the New
up north last season along with
the return of David Kerr, the
showing of our young guys like
Jay Chadwick and Jack Low, and
the addition of Reon Taylor, a
former national modified sprint
champion, I think our guys are
in a good place.”
The club is also hopeful that
American sprintcar racer Buddy
Kofoid will confirm his return
to Ruapuna in early January. The
teenage sensation captivated the
crowds at his Ruapuna appearances
last summer and he took
out the coveted gold cup last
season.
A new local sprintcar series
kicks off on Saturday night
Zealand Derby.
May admits his driving days
will likely wind down in the
coming years. Outside of racing
he runs an 80ha cropping farm
in Methven.
Surprisingly none of his three
children are involved in racing.
His two sons own and operate a
successful contracting business
called May Brothers Contracting
in Methven, while his daughter is
a physiotherapist at Christchurch
Hospital.
As for Tuesday’s cup, May
believes it’s hard to look past
anything from Mark Purdon’s
All Stars stable which he says
currently holds dominance
unlike anything he’s seen in the
racing industry previously.
“He’s got seven in it and
they’re the first seven favourites
in it. I don’t know what he’s
going to end up racing, even
The Fixer was looking good at
Ashburton, he’s coming back,”
said May.
with the VINZ Summer Slam
scheduled for four rounds. Daly
is upbeat about the competition,
and incentives that the series will
give the drivers, and that it will
put them in a good position for
the Hydraulink war of the wings
series, which will make two visits
to Ruapuna.
“Our sprintcar class has lost
a couple of fairly experienced
drivers, but we have a couple
of new boys too. The Summer
Slam Series can only enhance the
standard of local racing.”
There are also bigger profile
events scheduled for TQs,
modified sprints and sixshooters.

Kiwis should beware of wounded Lions
ONLY FOUR points separated
New Zealand and Great Britain
last weekend and we’re set
for another gripping clash in
Christchurch on Saturday to
conclude the two-test series.
After a heavy loss to Australia,
the Kiwis scored a gritty 12-8
win over the Lions.
The game’s only three tries
came in the second half.
Meanwhile, Great Britain are
winless on their first Southern
Hemisphere tour in 12 years
– having also been beaten by
Tonga – and will be desperate to
get on the board.
For the Kiwis, Shaun Johnson
and Brandon Smith return to
the Kiwis side after missing the
win over Great Britain. Kieran
Foran (shoulder) and Jahrome
Hughes drop out of the 17.
Kenny Bromwich is expecting
the birth of his second child and
is out of the side, with Corey
Harawira-Naera starting in the
pack and Kevin Proctor added to
the bench.
In the Lions camp, Ryan
Hall (knee) is out, while Jack
Hughes joins the side at centre
and Jake Connor moves to the
wing.

•Kick off is 8pm at
Orangetheory Stadium
•Key match-up
Dynamic fullbacks Roger
Tuivasa-Sheck and Jonny Lomax
led the way for their nations
in the first test. Tuivasa-Sheck
contributed a match-high 234m,
a line break and a try assist to
propel New Zealand home.
Meanwhile, Super League star
Lomax topped the metres chart
for Great Britain (196m) and had
a line break assist. A moment of
magic from either No 1 could be
the difference.
•For New Zealand to win
The Kiwis improved on their
effort against Australia but they’ll
be focused on cutting down the
errors, having made 10 to Great
Britain’s six last start. It will also
be integral for the returning
Shaun Johnson to gain some
early confidence, especially with
his kicking game. If he’s on-song,
the Kiwis will be hard to stop.
PREPARATION: Jamayne Isaako runs through some plays
during the Kiwis training session at Nga Puna Wai on
Tuesday.

•For Great Britain to win
Last week’s completion rate
of 87 per cent is impressive on
paper but the Lions might be
better served throwing caution
to the wind against the Kiwis.
Great Britain have no shortage
of attacking talent, so scoring
just two tries in two matches
on tour suggests they’ve been
conservative. Wayne Bennett’s
troops produced eight off-loads
compared to New Zealand’s 13
in the opening match and more
second-phase play could be
what’s needed to break up the
black wall.
•Key stats
Great Britain back-rower
John Bateman has been tireless
across two 80min performances,
making a combined 78 tackles
and 296m. Kodi Nikorima was
enormous for New Zealand on
his return last Saturday, making
53 tackles at hooker after being
brought into the starting side for
Brandon Smith.

High comfort levels in Honda CRV
CARS ARE always a great
conversation starter.
The other day a former
work colleague came into the
office meeting up with old
acquaintances. We had a bit of a
chat and he asked me what I had
driven lately, I responded, and
then asked what he was driving.
He answered by saying he was in
a company-supplied sport utility
vehicle but was anxious that it
would be replaced soon with a
sedan. He said he liked the SUV
and felt that a traditional sedan
wouldn’t measure up – literally.
That’s part of the reason why
the SUV market is so buoyant,
they are practical, functional and
mostly car-like to drive, it’s easy
to become attached to that type of
transport.
One of the models that kickstarted
the SUV revolution was
Honda’s CRV, that was around
1996, and since then it has gone
through several life-cycles and
facelifts. The CRV has just been
upgraded and there is now the
choice of a seven-seat version
which will excite the traditional
CRV buyer who has occasionally
Motoring
Ross Kiddie
craved for extra seats.
The CRV lands here in several
variations – starting at $33,990 and
ending at $48,990. Interestingly,
the five-seat S model, as evaluated,
gets a 2-litre, single-camshaft,
naturally-aspirated engine, and
while that’s not unusual in an
SUV, what is surprising is that
it is the only model in the range
that doesn’t get Honda’s new
turbocharged 1.5-litre engine that
has gained quite a reputation in
this part of the market.
As opposed to the four-wheeldrive
system of its stablemates,
the entry-level model is also
front-drive only, yet that would
suit me, I’m not big on off-theseal
travel, and if you treat it with
respect it will provide most of
the fundamentals mid-size SUV
buyers are looking for.
As you would expect from the
Honda manufacturing process, the
CRV is clinical in terms of interior
design, comfort and function. The
trim elements are high grade and
the specification level is high.
The CRV S is rated at 113kW
and 189Nm. Honda also claims
a 7.6-litre per 100km (37mpg)
HONDA CRV: Several engine and driveline options.
combined cycle fuel usage rating.
That’s a healthy target and is
indicative of the Honda goal of
reducing fuel use. I saw that as
a benchmark during my time
with the test car, and instead of
exploring power I concentrated
on trying to meet that average fuel
use figure. I couldn’t, but I did get
close at 8.2l/100km (35mpg) with
a 6l/100km (47mpg) figure sitting
at 100km/h.
The engine is turning over at just
1800rpm at that speed, which isn’t
working hard, and that contributes
to the thrifty way in which it
operates.
Drive is channelled through a
continuously variable automatic
transmission. It allows the engine
to work at the area of maximum
efficiency, it draws on as much
torque as it can so that the engine
isn’t loaded unnecessarily.
Of course, there are drive modes
which the driver can choose for
each given journey. The default
mode is normal, but eco and sport
modes can be selected at will.
As mentioned, I didn’t explore
sport mode other than a short
highway burst, and it will stimulate
the engine so that it feels peaky
and responsive. The opposite
applies in eco mode, the throttle is
numb and dull; however, if you are
prepared for that, fuel savings in
that mode are generous.
I took the test car west, cruising
the long straight roads between
Coalgate and Dunsandel, the
CRV feels lithe yet involving
from behind the wheel. In S
specification it rides on 235/65
x 17in Good Year tyres and they
help contribute to the strong

steering feel and accurate corner
turn-in.
The CRV sits high at almost
1.7m so there is a bit of
gravitational movement over the
suspension, but as a by-product
of having a four-wheel-drive
option, even the front-drive CRV
gets a fully independent set-up
underneath, and that has both ride
and handling benefits. Comfort
levels are extraordinarily high,
the suspension willingly absorbs
bumps and ruts, just floating over
uneven surfaces. This is one aspect
that the CRV excels in, it simply
has a magical ride.
Honda has had to work hard
to keep the CRV a desirable
purchase. There’s so much
competition in the mid-size SUV
market, but I’m pleased to report
that it is still a front-runner and
will constantly please those who
relate to all that it represents.

ADVICE
for maintaining
your home
As most New Zealanders’ homes are their
biggest investments it’s important to protect
them. Good maintenance will:
• Keep your home safe and secure
• Keep you and your family healthy
• Save you money by allowing you to fix
problems before they get bigger
• Protect your financial investment
WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO
APPROACH MAINTENANCE?
Carry out regular preventative maintenance
to prevent some problems from occurring.
MAINTAINING YOUR HOME
Plan ahead for major maintenance tasks.
Be prepared for emergencies – know where
and how the water, gas and power supplies
turn off.
DIY OR PROFESSIONAL?
You need to be realistic about your limits. It is
Oamaru
NEW LISTINGS
better to hire a tradesperson and get the job
done properly than to make costly mistakes.
By law, some jobs need to be done by
a professional, such as gas, plumbing,
drainage and some electrical work. Major
maintenance matters.
MOISTURE
Damp homes are unhealthy and harder to
heat. Combat persistent damp in your home
by:
• Insulating (under the floor, in the ceiling
and walls).
• Ventilating (including extractor fans in
bathrooms and kitchens, opening
windows, using a dehumidifier or
forced ventilation system and
keeping vents clear).
• Heating (aim to keep the indoor
temperature at a minimum of 16C).
• Replacing unflued gas heaters with
electric or flued gas heaters.
Fully insulated and double glazed for warmth.
