Reg’s Royal cooking buddy
MASTERCHEF: Reg Stedman was lost for words when the Duchess of Cornwall appeared beside him at his cooking class.
PHOTO PEGASUS HEALTH
• By Sophie Cornish
REG STEDMAN is usually
lively and full of jokes – but the
92-year-old was left speechless
when he was joined by a special
sous chef during his cooking
class.
The Duchess of Cornwall visited
the cooking course Mr Stedman
was on during her visit with
Prince Charles to Christchurch.
Everyone on the course had
been vetted by police prior to
the visit, so he knew Camilla
would be there.
But Reg was a little more
than surprised when he was
placed next to Camilla as they
prepared a bean salad.
Mr Stedman, who hails from
Essex in England, and came to
New Zealand in 1958 to marry
his pen pal, was lost for words
standing next to Camilla.
“Backward in coming forward,”
he said.
“It never dawned on me, I was
surprised, I thought ‘what have
I done to deserve this?
“I’m quite a retiring person, it
wouldn’t have bothered me if I
had been standing behind two
or three people.”
Mr Stedman shook Camilla’s
hand and spoke with her about
her farm in Gloucestershire, and
whether the food was organic.
“In hindsight, I realised all
eyes were probably on me because
I was with the knife!,” he
said of the security staff which
follow the Royals.

for
Christmas
family
event
• By Sophie Cornish
CALLS ARE being made to make
one of the city’s biggest familyfriendly
events alcohol-free.
Police received several reports
of disorderly behaviour and
assaults, all involving youths,
during and after the annual
Christmas in the Park in Hagley
Park on Saturday, which attracted
40-50,000 people.
But a spokeswoman for the
event Deborah Delaney said it
was run well and there were no
alcohol-related incidents.
“We never have any alcohol
problems; it has always been a
nice family event. It’s a free event,
so we don’t have any gates.”
A woman whose son and friend
were assaulted and robbed, leaving
her son in a serious condition,
says alcohol is playing a big part
in the disorderly and violent behaviour
at the event.
“I think there should be no
alcohol involved. I think they
should do it alcohol-free and have
more security and policing, it
would help. Even if they do
a family section for young
children and then another side for
people who don’t have younger
children.

Politics, murder mysteries,
Elvis shows and soon TV
NEWS 3
in brief
• By Louis Day
BY DAY Aaron Keown works as
a city councillor. At night he can
be found hosting murder mystery
events, playing in a cover band
and could soon become a TV star.
Keown, who represents the
city council’s Harewood Ward,
features as one of the leading
characters in locally produced
comedy series Don’t Be Frank
which has approached TVNZ to
get the show on demand.
The show, which is currently
in its pilot phase, follows firsttime
film producer Sharon in
her journey working alongside
an amateur film director called
Frank, played by Keown, in making
their first motion picture – an
apocalyptic, superhero, romantic,
zombie-war film.
It also features well-known
actor Jimmy James Fletcher,
commonly known as “Jimmy the
dwarf” from his time working on
Jono and Ben at 10.
Keown said he hoped the series
would lead to more productions
being made in Christchurch.
“Ever since I have been an
elected member I have wanted to
grow the screen industry in Canterbury
and I thought this would
be one way to do that,” he said.
“We have got really talented
people in this town that don’t get
to make this kind of stuff.”
ACTION: City councillor Aaron Keown will play Frank in locally-produced comedy series
Don’t Be Frank.
Director Nick McLean
compared the series to British
television series The Office and
Keown’s character to its main
character David Brent.
“David Brent is very much a
similar character to Frank in terms
of just being an embarrassing
character to watch, some social
situations they just don’t handle
very well at all but just feel like they
are God’s gift,” he said.
McLean said the series will
be shot in Canterbury, by
Cantabrians.
“We really want to base it around
Canterbury as much as we can.
A big part of the storyline is that
Frank wants to be the first big
movie director in the South Island.”
He said they were looking at
shooting in locations such as
Ferrymead Heritage Park, the red
zone and the Canterbury Plains
amongst other areas.

Police are seeking witnesses to
an assault in Mairehau on

to police that a woman had
been struck in the head with
a bottle during an altercation
on the corner of Ailsa and

believed the people involved
were unknown to each other,
and the female offender left the
scene in a vehicle soon after.
Police are seeking information
from anyone who may have
witnessed the assault. In
particular, they are keen to
speak to a cyclist who was
observed passing the scene at
the time, and who may have
information which can assist
the investigation.

THREE WOMEN say Peter
Ellis’ “death-dance” is taking
them to breaking point, after
claims he sexually abused their
daughters in 1991.
The Supreme Court is deciding
if an appeal Ellis lodged to clear
his name can proceed, after he
died from cancer in September.
The former Christchurch
Civic Creche worker always
maintained his innocence after
being found guilty of 16 counts
of sexual abuse in 1993, and
repeatedly sought to overthrow
the convictions.
But the mothers say their
daughters have been unable
to move on for nearly three
decades, and they worry other
sexual abuse survivors will be
put off seeking justice.
Ruth*, a teacher, said the words
she heard from her daughter
shortly after Ellis’ arrest, were
still painful to recall.
“I said to her that Peter wasn’t
working at the crèche anymore.
She was at school at this point
and she said: ‘Oh, why not?’”
“I said, ‘well, apparently he’s
been hurting some children’. She
didn’t say anything. I said, ‘has
he hurt you?’ And she said, ‘yes’.
I said, ‘why haven’t you told me?’
and she said, ‘because he said
he would burn your eyes out if I
told’.”
The jury found Ellis not guilty
of abusing Ruth’s daughter.
But over the next few years,
Ruth said her daughter would
continue bringing up strange
memories of Ellis, including him
“sexing” her.
“It was true but I really didn’t
want it to be true,” she said.
She said it was just the start of
28 years of trauma for her and
her daughter.
Ellis’ guilty verdict was the
subject of two police investigations,
trips to the Court of Appeal,
a Ministerial inquiry and
petitions calling for independent
reviews – and he became the focal
point of intense media coverage,
books and public support as
people criticised the reliability of
the children’s testimonies.
“Every time he tried to appeal
or, you know, sneezed, his photo
would be pretty much on the
front page of the newspaper and
splashed all over the news at
night,” Ruth said.
This year brought “a sense of
relief” for Ruth as she heard of

maintained
his innocence.
Ellis’ death and thought she’d
seen and heard the last of him.
That was followed by horror at
the revelation the Supreme Court
might still hear his final appeal.
It could consider whether there
was a miscarriage of justice due
to the children’s evidence being
improperly obtained, a lack of
expert evidence and unreliable
expert evidence at Ellis’ trial.
“Most people get to move on.
We haven’t been able to move on.
The children haven’t been able to
move on,” Ruth said.
At the start of the appeal
last month, Ellis’ lawyer Rob
Harrison acknowledged it was
a difficult situation and
mentioned the stress for the
complainants.
But another mother who felt
sickened by the possibility of the
appeal proceeding, said she’d
had to turn to anti-nausea tablets
to cope.
After the first claims against
Ellis in 1991, Angela’s* daughter
told her she too had been
touched inappropriately at the
crèche, and told to keep quiet or
else her mum would turn into a
frog.
The family spoke extensively
with the police about it, but
eventually chose not to file legal
proceedings to protect their
identities, and found safety living
in Australia for the daughter’s
primary school years.
But Angela, a nurse, described
the possibility of the appeal going
ahead as “devastating” and
“disrespectful” for victims.
She said she still doesn’t understand
the scepticism around
the case.
“A three-year-old is not going
to tell fibs . . . you can just tell
when a child’s not telling you
the truth. But this was totally
the truth. And that’s I think the
worst thing, is the children now
not being believed,” she said.

CITY COUNCIL chief executive
Dawn Baxendale has claimed
less than a third of her $30,000
relocation fee.
Mrs Baxendale revealed that
she has spent $6865 of her
$30,000 relocation fee yesterday
afternoon. However, details
around how she spent it have
been kept under wraps.
The city council cited the privacy
of Mrs Baxendale in refusing
to release the specifics of how
her relocation fee was spent.
Last week, her office refused
to release any details around the
relocation fee following a request
for the information under the
Local Government Official
Information and Meetings Act
from The Press.
They also refused to release
information to The Star.
However, after meeting with
the Chief Ombudsman at
the end of last week over
his recent report which
alleged senior city council
staff had manipulated
reports and withheld
information from elected
members and the public,
she decided to release
some of the information
around the fee.
Mrs Baxendale and her
family relocated from
England where she was the chief
executive of the Birmingham
City Council. Alongside her
$495,000 salary, she received a
$30,000 relocation fee for her
new role in Christchurch.

“It’s a real pleasure to be for

I’m so impressed by everything

“I do think it is so important as
you grow older to be able to cook.

people to like cooking again, and
eating good food for your body and
your mind is vitally important as
you get older,” she said.

Johanson calls for culture change
Yani
Johanson
• By Louis Day
SENIOR CITY councillor
Yani Johanson says there is a
strong need for a culture change
throughout the council.
The five-term city councillor
said he had to battle with city
council staff for the public release
of a report which he felt had
no reason to be made completely
private in the first place.
The report
from June
shows that
almost 1km
of concrete
kerb in the
Heathcote
Expressway did
not meet council
construction
specification
standards. The
report states that it could be released
on September 30 but was
not released until November 21.
Cr Johanson thought this was
a good example of some of the
concerns raised in the Chief
Ombudsman’s recent assessment
of the council which alleged
members of the executive leadership
team were manipulating
reports and withholding negative
information from elected members
and the public.
The report was originally kept
from the public to allow for
negotiations to occur between
the contractor and city council.
A city council spokesman said
negotiations “largely finished in
October.”
“Once the reason for a report
being public excluded no longer
applies reports are reviewed to
consider any commercial sensitivity
or privacy issues that may
require specific information to
be permanently withheld,” the
city council spokesman said.
The report states 794m of
concrete kerb required testing
after 28 days but were not tested
by the contractor from between
40 to 185 days.
The report acknowledges having
to replace the non-conforming
sections of kerb as having
a “high potential for council to
incur reputational damage.”
“The engineer’s regular reminders
to take concrete cores
for testing were not acted on by
the contractor until a much later
time,” the report reads.
Work on the site started on
November 11 and is expected
to finish in February, affected
residents were not notified until
the day work started.
Cr Johanson said he felt the report
could have been released and
residents notified a lot sooner.
“There needs to be higher
checks for things going into public
excluded, there should only
be very specific information that
is sensitive that goes into public
excluded not the whole report.
“This shows that this is not
just a management issue but also
governance issue and that is what
needs to be addressed, we need to
take responsibility. The Ombudsman’s
report talks to a culture
and I don’t think you can separate
that culture from the elected
members. The elected members
had every right to say no.’’
The Linwood Central Heathcote
Community Board adopted staff
recommendations to put the
report into public excluded in
June. Cr Johanson and former city
councillor Deon Swiggs were the
only two of the nine board members
to vote against the motion.
According to the report this

Council staff
in the firing
line for abuse
• By Louis Day
ABUSE, THREATS and assaults
are on the rise against city council
staff.
From July 2018 to June 2019, 114
acts of abuse, threats and assault
were made against city council
staff.
This is a 90 per cent increase
from the 60 made against city
council staff between 2017 and
2018, a 50 per cent per cent increase
from the 76 made between
2016 to 2017 and a 192 per cent
increase from the 39 made between
2015 to 2016.
City council manager of human
resources shared services Justine
Scott said most instances of abuse
related to verbal abuse and intimidating
behaviour.
She said the most commonly
reported abusive behaviour this
year came from individuals
working in libraries (38 per cent),
transport (30 per cent) and recreation
and sport (18 per cent).
“The council takes all
threats and abuse against staff
very seriously. The council
trains staff on situational risk,
de-escalating challenging
situations and applying tactical
communications. Since 2012 393
council staff have attended this
training,” she said.

EVER SINCE new Burwood
Ward city councillor Phil
Mauger was a child he had an
affinity towards engines and
construction.
“I was always brought up
around engines and motors and
machinery and grease, much to
my mother’s dismay,” he said.
He would duck out of school to
watch the construction of the QE
II swimming pool.
Fourteen years ago he bought
legendary race car driver Denny
Hulme’s formula one McLaren
and raced it in amateur races
across the world in circuits such
as Brands Hatch, Silverstone and
Donnington Park in England,
as well as Laguna Seca Raceway
in California, Watkins Glen in
New York and Magny-Cours in
France.
“It took me all over the world,
it was bloody fantastic.”
A current project he is working
on is rebuilding a Chrysler air
raid siren. About 350 were made
in the United States in the 1950s
during the cold war era. The
main purpose of the siren was
to warn the public in the event
of a nuclear attack by the Soviet
Union.
The siren has an output of
138dB and can be heard as far
away as 40km away.
Cr Mauger said he plans to take
the siren to the Warbirds over
Wanaka air show.
Along with his city council
commitments, he spends one
day a week working at the family
business Maugers Contracting.
Mayor Lianne

Pauline Cotter (Innes Ward)
wanted to do something that
would help others when she

as a teacher in the 70s, but then
learned to sew.
“That skill

and provided me
with interesting
and varied work,
both in NZ and
Australia, mainly contracting for
myself,” she said.
Cr Cotter worked at TVNZ on
What Now and Play School, she
dressed Big Ted and also made
the Thunder Dome used in the
Mad Max movie.
Later, with her partner, she ran
a clothing business for 20 years,
and also ran a rental camper van

he had difficulty

More police
presence for
Hoon Hay
• By Matt Slaughter
A SERGEANT and four police
officers will be dedicated to
policing the Hoon Hay area as of
early next year.
They will also serve South
Christchurch as a whole.
This comes after a community
meeting on Thursday organised
by Wigram MP Megan Woods
between about 70 concerned
residents, police and neighbourhood
support representatives to
discuss crime and safety concerns
in Hoon Hay.
Said Senior Sergeant Roy Appley
who was at the meeting: “I’ve
made a commitment to the people
that they’ll see an increase in visibility
of police presence.”
He said people can expect more
community police officers in “the
high visibility areas” including
parks and shopping areas and
more road policing in the area.
Hoon Hay Community
Association chairman Alastair
Berney said last week he has seen
residents reporting more crime,
particularly car break-ins recently.
Senior Sergeant Appley said these
issues were not raised in great detail
at the meeting and discussion was
more around how anti-social youth
behaviour can be addressed most
effectively.

CHANGES ARE being made
to the contentious $9.45 million
Collett’s Corner project planned
for Lyttelton in 2022.
But the developer says it is
not a reaction to residents’
opposition on former designs.
Ohu
Development,
the group
behind the
project, is
investigating
options to
have different
materials on
all four of
the buildings
proposed for Oxford and London
streets.
The city council requested the
changes as it did not want the
complex to appear as one single
structure and so it is more in
proportion with surrounding
buildings in Lyttelton.
The public has six weeks to
state their views on a resource
consent application for the
residential and commercial
development, which would
contain a health spa, restaurant,
gym, offices, retail activity and

26 residential units.
Ohu Development was the
first in New Zealand to run
a crowdfunding campaign
to help pay for a commercial
development.
The city council will take
feedback into consideration
when deciding whether or
not it will approve the group’s
application. Former designs saw
mixed feedback in August.
Residents were mainly
concerned that the building was
out of character with the current
township.
Lyttelton Residents’ Association
chairman Ken Maynard previously
said he was concerned the
complex was not aimed at locals.
“It’s quite big, it’s taller than
the other buildings in the street,”
he said.
Ohu Development founding
partner Camia Young said she
was unaware of any opposition
to the project and that the changes
are to satisfy the city council’s
urban design team.
“We are confident we can find
an elegant design solution, but
unfortunately we will likely lose
the ceramic tile facade.”
Ms Young said updated designs
will be completed soon.
During the five-week fundraising
campaign for the project,
370 people invested a total of
$504,000 and as the minimum
goal of $300,000 was met, the
project could go ahead.
However, because the $2
million target was not met,
the opening was pushed back
from 2020 to 2022 and another
crowdfunding campaign will be
run early next year.
Consultation closes on January 16.

Historic guns handed in by 82-year-old
• By Sophie Cornish
A SHOTGUN from the 1800s
and an even older ‘muzzle loader’
were two historic firearms
handed back at Canterbury’s buyback
events.
Derek Cockburn, 82, handed
over the guns, which date back
to the 1800s, at an Addington
Raceway event.
Second in charge of the Canterbury
firearms reform operation,
Acting Senior Sergeant Simon
Keith said the firearms were two
of several historic guns handed
back.
A specialised team has been
created to deal with firearms that
have historical or military significance,
with museums being
approached to see if they wish to
preserve the weapons.
However, Canterbury Museum
declined to preserve Mr Cockburn’s
firearms.
Said museum director Anthony
Wright: “Ultimately we
declined this offer. We had very
little information about the history
of these firearms, and they
didn’t appear to have any connection
to Canterbury’s history,
which is our focus. The shotgun
had a proof mark indicating it
was made in Dunedin, however,
so we recommended police offer
the firearms to Otago Museum
instead.”
Canterbury Museum already
has more than 200 firearms and
HISTORY: Two guns from the 1800s are some of several with historical or military
significance handed in during police’s buy-back events.
related objects in its collection.
Mr Cockburn’s only knowledge
of the guns, which he admits
have been hidden in a closet at
his home for about 60 years, were
that they were passed through
generations in his family.
“They go way back to a couple
of great-grandfathers, who used
them for rabbit shooting.”
He believes the family emigrated
to New Zealand from England
and Scotland in 1860.
He said the guns were regularly
used by past family members for
“leisurely pursuits” but he has not
BY THE NUMBERS
National statistics of the
buy-back scheme show
as at November 24:
• 40,731 firearms have
been collected, 37,336
through buy-back and
3395 through amnesty.
• 1421 firearms have been
modified to be made
legal under the new laws
• 149,919 firearms parts
have been collected 146,
457 through buy-back
and 3462 through amnesty.
• So far, $75,102,531 has
been paid out.
• A further $2,913,421 is yet
to be paid.
fired either of them himself.
Mr Cockburn didn’t receive
any money for the guns but returned
them in “goodwill.”
“I returned them in the hope
that others will do the same,” he
said.
Acting Senior Sergeant Keith
said overall, Canterbury has seen
very high numbers during the
buy-back, in comparison to other
areas in the country.
He said there were no instances
of people behaving disorderly
or aggressive at events and no
firearms were accidentally discharged
during handover.
“Some firearms have been
identified at our clearing and
safety stations that have had
rounds lodged in tube magazines,
also a shotgun was located with
rounds in the magazine. Both of
the owners of these firearms were
unaware the guns were loaded.
“An air gun was handed into
a police station under amnesty
with pellets jammed inside it
when this item was being cleared
(into a safe direction) a pellet
discharged.”
The busiest time of the buyback
is expected to start this
month.
But Acting Senior Sergeant
Keith’s recommends firearms
owners don’t leave it until the
last minute, otherwise the may
be required to wait in hour-long
queues on December 20.
“If you come in on the last day
we may be unable to pay you
before Christmas. We are urging
people to be proactive and get into
our centre at 545 Wairakei Rd.’’
Not handing in prohibited
items could result in prosecution,
loss of the firearm-without
compensation and, loss of their
firearms licence.

YOUNG, SUCCESSFUL
& on the move
International
dream achieved
at early age
MONET SCHUTTE has achieved
her dream at 13-years-old.
From a very young age, Monet
has had a dream to perform
internationally.
And last week, she received a
standing ovation at the Vienna
Concert Hall in Austria after performing
her original song, Like
You Did Before.
“Singing on stage in Vienna
was a dream come true. I am so
excited that I now have reached
one of my musical goals. It was
the first song I ever wrote, and
it has a very special meaning,”
Monet said.
Written about a friend with
depression, the song won the International
Sounds of Children’s
Rights Songwriting Competition
held in Austria.
She was awarded two prestigious
gold coin awards for her
achievement.
She wrote and recorded the
song with her mentor Sacha Vee
at SOLE Music Academy earlier
this year and decided to enter it
into the competition sponsored
by UNICEF.
Said Monet: “One of my
friends, unfortunately, suffers
from depression and so I wrote
this song about how I tried to
help.”
When Monet received the
news she had made it to the top
10 contestants from around the
world, she only had two months
to prepare for the trip and get
performance-ready.
This was a challenge, since
Monet had to learn piano to accompany
herself.
However, with the guidance

from Vee she put in the time and
is now reaping the reward.
Said Vee: “The best thing about
Monet isn’t her natural musical
ability but her ability to learn,
take on critique and her work
ethic. She is an absolute joy to
teach and guide on her pathway
to having a career in music.”
Monet has been attending
SOLE Music Academy for the

SOLE was set up by Vee, an

OUR PEOPLE – NICOLA GRIGG 27
Politics and farming a true blue mix
Nicola Grigg will be
National’s candidate
in next year’s election,
replacing the retiring
Amy Adams. She talks
to Louis Day
HANDS-ON: Nicola Grigg was born and raised on a farm in Mt Somers.
What was your reaction to
being selected as the National
candidate for Selwyn?
I was just thrilled, I really was,
I had so much support from
members around the electorate
and this is just something I have
wanted to do for a long long, long
time. I was probably a little bit
shocked as well as there were two
high calibre candidates there as
well. It was definitely a mixture
of elation and shock.
What is your connection to
the Selwyn electorate?
I was born and raised on a family
farm in Mt Somers. That was
a bit of a technicality, at the time
it was in the Selwyn electorate
but then there was a boundary
change in 2007 so it got pulled
into the Rangitata electorate. But
when you grow up on a farm in
Mid-Canterbury all your family
friends and all your family is all
deeply connected.
Boundaries are boundaries, but
if I look at all the big rural seats
from South Canterbury to North
Canterbury you have got Waitaki
Rangitata, Selwyn, Waimak they
are all really interwoven and my
connection is just growing up
in the region really and being
involved in the farming community.
Tell me about your family’s
history in politics.
Politics has always been of
interest for me because of my
family connections. My great
grandfather Major Arthur Grigg
was the MP for Ashburton in the
early 1940s and he was killed in
the second World War. Then his
wife Mary Grigg stood to replace
him and stood uncontested and
she ended up being National’s
first female MP.
She was very pro-women and
very pro-agriculture. I read some
of her speeches now and it is literally
like history repeating itself.
How did you become a journalist
and what prompted the
transition into politics?
I went to broadcasting school
straight after finishing high
school at St Margaret’s College.
I think the career adviser at the
time steered me in the direction
of journalism because I talked
a lot. So yeah, I became a journalist,
did a bit of travel, came back,
lived in Queenstown, got made
redundant a couple of times during
the global financial crisis and
then I moved home at the end of
2010 to Canterbury. That is when
the quake started and when the
newsrooms were hiring, so I went
to Newstalk ZB.
At the time, because it was a
post-quake environment all the
Government ministers like Key,
English, Brownlee and Amy
Adams were coming here regularly
and I was interfacing with them a
lot as a reporter. I got offered a job
after the 2014 elections in Simon
Bridges’ office after he was made
the Minister of Transport and
Minister of Energy Resources.
I really wasn’t sure because I
loved being a reporter. I went
over to Greymouth and it was the
day Key and Bridges announced
they weren’t going to re-enter the
Pike River Mine.
When Key came down and
announced that they weren’t going
to go back in, it was just the
way they handled it with such
empathy and logic and I thought
actually I do want to get involved
with that team.
So I went up to Wellington
in 2014, worked with Simon for
about four months and then I
got an opportunity to go into
Bill English’s office, I was there
for two years with him as the
Minister of Finance and the year
he was Prime Minister.
When Bill resigned I always had
in the back that I wanted to be
an MP, so in the middle of 2018 I
thought it was time to come home
and get in a position to find a seat
and it was a stroke of luck that my
home seat opened up.
What did you aspire to be as a
child, was it a politician?
I wanted to be a vet. Just because
I grew up on a farm riding
ponies, I loved animals, I wanted
to be a vet but it turned out I was
not very good at science.
Hobbies outside of work?
I love horse riding still to this
day but I don’t get much time,
I also love skiing, but I just run
and hike when I can, never been
to a gym in my life, I just love the
outdoors.
Dead or alive, who would you
want to sit down and have a
drink with?
Elizabeth I. She is my hero. She
was just such a clever politician,
she bought together such a fractious
country by just being really
clever about it.
You know that famous quote,
I will probably get this wrong,
but it is something along the
lines of, I will not make windows
into men’s souls. As in to say she
didn’t care what people actually
thought in the privacy of her own
home as long as they towed her
line I guess and were loyal to her
and she was just such a shrewd
operator in an era when she was
the only woman in the world
doing it.
Where are you based at the
moment?
I am in the city at the moment,
but my family are based in the
electorate so for the duration of
the selection, I was hubbing in
and out of their place. I am house
hunting at the moment. I really
like both West Melton and that
Lincoln, Prebbleton and Tai Tapu
area.
I have committed to the membership
that I will be living there
by the new year. You can add that
to my hobbies, I spend my weekends
going around open homes at
the moment.

OUR PEOPLE
Focus on growing economy
• From page 27
What would you say your
priorities would be if you were
elected as the MP for Selwyn?
First and foremost changing
the Government. But with regards
to Selwyn, I come at it with
a couple of perspectives.
My time working as a press
secretary for Bill English under
the former National Government
I really learnt the importance of
growing the economy. With my
current role with New Zealand
Trade and Enterprise, I deal
with a lot of export businesses
based out of Selwyn, particularly
start-up companies coming out
of Lincoln Agritech and Lincoln
University.
So for me, it is about encouraging
business within the electorate
to grow.
How do you think the Labourled
Government has performed
over this term?
There has been unnecessary
stressors put on new Zealanders
and whether that is through the
gradual slowing down of the
economy or a lack of funding
into essential services that were
promised into healthcare and
particularly mental health. But
the one aspect that makes me
really angry is the treatment of
our agricultural sector and our
farming community.
I’m from a farm. My
community, neighbours,
everybody farms and these are
clever businesspeople. They are
sophisticated and they are very
conscious of their environmental
responsibilities and they are
some of the most productive food
producers in the world.
Yet they are trying to operate
in a regulatory environment that
is actually condemning them and
stopping them from doing what
they are really good at doing.
Are you concerned about the
impact the agricultural industry
is having on the environment?
Historically there have been
mistakes made. There was a massive
land-use change that occurred
here in Canterbury over the last 20
to 30 years during the dairy boom
on soils that have a riverbed and
soils that leached a lot.
Ever since that awareness has
come into people’s minds, farmers
particularly have bent over
backwards. Farmers across New
Zealand spent a billion dollars on
fencing off waterways and riparian
planting. There is a huge amount of
investment going into that research
and development space.
Just out at Lincoln Agritech,
CONNECTED: Nicola Grigg worked as Bill
English’s (left) press secretary during his time
as prime minister.
PASSING
THE TORCH:

retiring
Selwyn MP
Amy Adams.
there is all sorts of science going
into planting grasses and plantains
that will stop cattle from
producing methane that will
equally have root bases that are
knitted together to stop nitrate
leaching.
Do you think you have big
shoes to fill if you step into Amy
Adam’s role?
Very big shoes. During the
selection period, I would say to
the members what do you want
in your next MP, they would say:
“We just want another Amy.”
Do you think Simon Bridges is
the right person to lead National
into next year’s election?
Yes, 100 per cent. I think
Simon is absolutely on fire at
the moment. With the likes of
the policy on law and order and
the stance, and how National is
taking on gangs, he has really
found his feet actually and he is
resonating really well with New
Zealanders.
ACTIVE: Nicola Grigg skiing at Mt Hutt.
IT’S STARTING to look a bit
like Christmas
It was a busy weekend at our
place over the weekend, ushering
in Christmas month.
This time of year is also the
start of kids’ birthday season for
us, thanks to Vittoria being a
January baby.
Our first was on Saturday and
Vittoria was her typical vivacious
self, running about and
munching on birthday treats.
She even managed to borrow
another friend’s wooden bike as
we were leaving – I mean convincing
a toddler to give up a toy
when you have your arms full is
a tall order.
Later that night, Vittoria’s
godfather Codey arrived from
Australia for a lightning fast
whānau visit and stayed with us
for the night.
Vittoria was fast asleep by the
time he arrived so I waited until
later in the morning to take
her into the room and see him/
shock him awake in petty retaliation
for not doing the dishes
when we were flatmates.
I had thought finding a grown
man asleep in her room might
have surprised her at least a
little, but as soon as she saw it
was Codey she just lit up and

OPINION
BOYS WILL be boys.
It’s simply part of the DNA.
As kids, we will do things like jumping
off the garage roof to test who has more
courage, sometimes to our detriment; try
and climb to the highest point on a tree,
and then realise how stupid it was and
how perilous it will be getting back down.
As we get older our perspective changes.
But there is still a lot of the boy in there;
the risk-taker and the hi-jinks, usually
fuelled by a little bit too much to drink.
For high profile sportsmen it can become
an Achilles heel, particularly when

will turn those sportsmen into instant
news – and the villan.
On Saturday afternoon I was at my
local, a country pub outside of Christchurch.
A bus turned up. The faces looked
familiar; their attire (fancy dress) different
to what you normally see them in during
the rugby season – Crusaders.
They were not there to storm the building,
pillage and run amok.
They were there to have fun. It was one
of the player’s stag party, a pub crawl one
mentioned in passing. Good on them.
They were left to their own fun as others
in the bar were having as well.
By the time I departed they were still
having a great time, mingling with the
odd patron or two. Everyone was happy.
Just boys being boys, and no sign of any
social media stuff since.
But it isn’t always that way.
Years ago, before cellphones and social
media, I was travelling with the Kiwi
rugby league team on their tour of Australia
and Papua New Guinea.
Myself and a couple of the players were
having a beer in a New South Wales
country town. A very drunken local began
abusing us,
calling us
sheep shaggers
with
expletives
thrown in. He
was warned
a number of
times to stop.
He didn’t.
He hit the
deck; not
hard enough
to cause any
damage but
enough to
show he had
finally overstepped
the
mark.
The player
concerned
was taken
outside by his
teammates.
HEADLINES: Keith
Murdoch his way
home from Wales in
1972.
I stayed to see what developments there
might be. The barman told the guy he was
a proverbial you know what and the police
wouldn’t be called, as he had asked.
I went outside. The player asked if he was
destined to make the news. That may have
led him to be recalled home from the tour
which would have been a travesty given the
provocation we had endured by a boozefuelled
idiot. I said he was in the clear.
If only All Blacks management had the
same commonsense when they sent Keith
Murdoch home from Wales in 1972.

MOTORING
THE SUZUKI
BALENO
BY ROSS KIDDIE
I’ve only been to India once, but once was enough
to gauge the organisational skills that country
needs to manage such a huge population.
It’s that prowess that has filtered down to
automotive manufacturing, Jaguar and Land-
Rover are operated under Indian ownership
and the Suzuki Motor Corporation is one of
several manufacturers that have seen the value
in manufacturing cars using Indian labour and
technology.
One model that comes off the Manesar
manufacturing plant is Baleno, a mid-size
hatchback that has been sold in New Zealand in its
latest iteration since 2017.
The Baleno lands here in two variations, effectively
there are two engine options, there’s a fourcylinder
1.4-litre naturally-aspirated engine and
a turbocharged 1-litre three-cylinder unit. Both
variants – GLX and RS - have just had a mid-cycle
makeover.
The changes are only minor and mostly cosmetic,
there’s a new grille and front bumper, new seat
upholstery and minor trim changes. Suzuki also
claims ride comfort enhancements and lower noise
levels.
The evaluation car was the RS variant, it also gets
new wheels and LED headlamps. The RS is priced
at $25,990 which makes wallet-friendly buying,
but if you really want a Baleno and that was just a
touch out of reach, the GLX variant sits at $21,990
($23,990 auto).
For my money I’d be an RS buyer, not only are the
power outputs higher – 82kW and 160Nm against
68kW and 130Nm – but I’ve got a penchant for
three-cylinder engines. I once had a Star Media
pool car for personal use and it was an Alto, the car
that essentially kicked off Suzuki’s three-pot engine
programme.
However, today’s engine is a far different
proposition, it’s a lot smoother than ever before,
and the harmonics which characterise the layout
are all but engineered out of the vehicle.
One of the reasons I like the configuration is
the hearty torque structure, and if you add in
turbocharged boost there is decisive throttle
response from all points in the rev band. A lot
of that is to do with the area at which torque
is delivered, all of the way from 1500rpm to
4000rpm, and it stops not that far distant from the
point of peak power at 5000rpm. All those figures
considered, there is a feisty feel underfoot, and with
the Baleno weighing in light at just one tonne, the
power-to-weight ratio is substantial.
Drive is channelled to the front wheels through a
six-speed automatic transmission, and it is a beauty
with quick, smooth shifts. For those who like to be
involved in the gearchange process, steering wheelmounted
paddle shifts provide a little bit more of
that sporty feel.
While the Baleno RS excites with its underbonnet
performance, it is still the fuel miser you
would expect from Suzuki. It claims a 5.2-litre per
Price – Suzuki Baleno RS, $25,990
Dimensions – Length, 3995mm; width, 1745mm;
height, 1470mm
Configuration – Three-cylinder, front-wheel-drive,
998cc, 82kW, 160Nm, six-speed automatic
Performance – 0-100km/h, 10.5sec
Fuel usage – 5.2l/100km
100km (53mpg) combined cycle average. During
my time with the test car the fuel usage readout
constantly listed around 6l/100km (47mpg), while
an instantaneous figure of 4l/100km (70mpg) is
achievable on a highway cruise with the engine
turning over at just 1950rpm at 100km/h.
At all speeds the Baleno is comfortable and feels
controlled. Steerage is informative while body
balance in a corner is controlled. The suspension
is relatively simplistic, but it does contain the ruts
and bumps well and equips itself when loaded if a
corner is presented a bit on the quick side.
There’s been a lot of talk lately about vehicle safety,
and I’m pleased to report that the Baleno has a fivestar
Australasian New Car Assessment Program
rating.
The Baleno also gets a high level of kit for
convenience. There’s satellite navigation, cruise
control and speed limiter, keyless entry and
ignition. Many of the control systems can be
navigated through a central screen display, it also
functions as rear view camera and will allow smart
phone capability through Apple Car Play and
Android Auto.
The Baleno is just one car in a raft of fuel-friendly,
affordable cars from the brand. Many Living
Life readers will be Suzuki owners, and for those
thinking of trading up, choosing between the two
Baleno models may be a difficult choice, but either
would be a rewarding experience once behind the
wheel.

REDUCE DEATHS
FROM BREAST
CANCER
More than 600 women die from breast cancer
each year in New Zealand. With an AI augmented
screening programme, many of these deaths might
be preventable according to the AI Forum of New
Zealand’s latest research report.
By 2021, the cost of cancer care is predicted to rise
by 20 percent. Once proven, such an approach
to screening could then be generalized to other
cancers, the AI Forum’s executive director Emma
Naji says.
AI can be used to predict breast cancer, potentially
five years in advance, diagnose it from medical
images with comparable ability to radiologists,
and decrease the error rate of pathologists by 85
percent, Naji says.
“Early detection of breast cancer dramatically
improves the outcome for the patient. In New
Zealand, improved screening for breast cancer
over the past 20 years has reduced deaths from the
disease by 27 percent.
“If AI can further augment and improve breast
cancer screening by even 10 percent this would
result in saving 60 women’s lives each year and
reduce the cost to the taxpayer by $12.6 million a
year.”
The need for early diagnosis underpins breast
cancer screening. AI driven predictive analytics
could mean that screening in New Zealand is
offered according to risk and sparing those at very
low risk from false positive results and unnecessary
interventions.
The report says 12 percent of women will develop
breast cancer in their lifetime, but this does not
mean that each woman has a 12 percent risk.
New Zealand has an opportunity to link and
leverage our comprehensive health datasets and use
this big data to train intelligent predictive models
for breast cancer, Naji says.
“Combining local and national datasets such as
primary health records, electronic health records,
the cancer registry, mortality collections and
adding new datasets over time such as a biobank,
could yield a national-level predictive model
for breast cancer risk, able to provide far more
granular and relevant predictions for high disease
risk.
“This model could be used by GPs and DHB
oncology services to enable intensive monitoring
and prevention or pre-emptive treatment of
women at high risk for breast cancer.
“It could also reduce the screening frequency of
those with vanishingly low probability of cancer,
thereby minimising discomfort, anxiety around
false positive results and freeing up resources.
“Such a solution relies on AI foundations such
as skilled AI talent with domain knowledge and
expertise building predictive models in health and
medicine
“It also leans on applying AI to disease predictions
and ensuring that data, algorithms and models
employed are thoroughly evaluated and reviewed
against ethical principles.”

Ching Wang has spent her professional
career in traditional Chinese holistic
healthcare and is a health advocate who
treats her patients with Chinese herbal
medicines, acupuncture and other noninvasive
therapies.
We spoke with Ching about her healthcare
philosophies and her love of helping people
be healthy and enjoy wellbeing.
What is the favourite part of your work?
I am fascinated by the amazing human
body and how it can heal, rebalance and
realign itself. Unlike in Western therapies,
I treat the mind and body as essentially
combined. A person in good health is
also in good mental health. An illness or
imbalance will create both mental AND
physical symptoms.
Using traditional Chinese medicine, I can
help people understand what illnesses they
might be experiencing and guide them on
the path to regain their health.
What training do you have?
In China, I started my training in both
western and traditional Chinese medicines.
I later specialised in Chinese therapies
which focuses on herbal treatments,
acupuncture, acupressure, moxibustion
(the burning of herbs over acupuncture
points) and “cupping” of the skin to draw
out illnesses.
I earned my bachelor’s degree after training
full time for five years and after graduating,
I was a consulting physician and senior
lecturer at The First Military Medical
University in China.
My husband founded our first acupuncture
clinic, AcuCentre in Christchurch in 1997
and then two years late I moved to New
Zealand with our young son and joined
him. We then expanded to have clinics in
Riccarton, Linwood and Ashburton.
Fifteen years ago, my husband and I also
started MuZu Traditional Chinese Health
Spa, offering full-body massages, herbal
foot spas and reflexology, in addition to
acupuncture treatments. These therapies
promote the understanding of our
bodies’ relationship to nature and are
the foundation of all traditional Chinese
healing.
I have more than 30 years of clinical
experience and I love helping people
balance their “Qi” (the life force energy
that flows between acupuncture points
via meridians) to regain or maintain their
health.

New Zealand’s district health boards
are facing a $500 million annual deficit
but artificial intelligence (AI) could
annually contribute more than $700
million of value and savings to the
New Zealand health system by 2026.
The AI Forum of New Zealand
launches their latest AI research
report, AI for Health in New Zealand
/ Hauora i te Atamai Iahiko, in
Auckland later today which provides
fresh information relating to AI and
health for Kiwis.
Executive director Ben Reid says AI’s
contribution to the NZ health system
could rise to between $1.6 to $3.6
billion by 2035.
“The health sector in New Zealand
is facing challenges. These include
increasing demand, rising consumer
expectations, and the pressures of
an ageing population. These factors
are straining the health workforce,
increasing costs and limiting access to
care.
“AI promises to bring significant
clinical, workforce and cost benefits
to the health sector, as well as
personalise medical care. It can help
with predicting disease and injury; and
mine vast quantities of literature for
research insights.
“It can also assist in novel drug
discovery; augment the work of human
specialists through image analysis and
robotic surgery; automate hospital
processes; free up more time for
doctor-patient interaction and provide
personalised treatment.
“The good news is that hospitals and
district health boards (DHBs) are
investing in data infrastructure in
advance of AI. The Waitematā DHB’s
leapfrog programme is capturing more
clinical data digitally and enabling
better data visualisation.
Dr Kevin Ross, chief executive of
research partner Precision Driven
Health, says there are a few AI
solutions used in New Zealand but not
many.
“AI will increasingly outperform
humans in translating the
unmanageable volume and variety
of data and research into practical
advice for both our clinical carers and
citizens,” Ross says.
“New Zealand is well positioned
to lead this transformation. With
high quality digital health records,
innovative Kiwi companies, an
admired health system and maturing
data governance and ethics required to
develop this capability.”
“Recent AI research by Precision
Driven Health includes an automated
triage system for cardiology referrals
which can predict who should be seen
first which will save clinician time and
help to overcome bias.”
Reid says there are a number of
barriers that need to be overcome to
enable widespread adoption of AI
in New Zealand healthcare such as a
low level of digital literacy among the
healthcare workforce and inflexibility
of legacy technological systems.
There is insufficient awareness of
where and how AI is being applied
in the sector. There is a need to
slowly introduce clinical staff to new
workflows to avoid resistance and
there are low levels of AI awareness
among health professionals.
New Zealand also has a number
of self-imposed barriers including
restricted access to non-identifiable
data, a lack of standardisation, and
little cloud data storage, he says.
“Developers of AI in health will need
to understand the current conservative
nature of the healthcare sector.
“AI will only reach its potential with
accessible, secure, interoperable cloudbased
health data and social license
for its use. Solving this problem will
unleash the power of data in electronic
health records for research and
development.
“Disruptive AI technologies such as
mobile chatbot interfaces will change
the way we access healthcare. PHOs
are currently funded on a per patient
enrolled basis, not a per service
delivered basis.
“Meanwhile large technology
companies are starting to experiment
internationally with health as a service
business model.”

10,000 KIWIS
DIAGNOSED WITH
PARKINSON’S
MUST GET MORE
ACTIVE
Exercise NZ says many of the 10,000 New
Zealanders who are diagnosed with Parkinson’s
need to get more active.
Richard Beddie, chief executive of Exercise NZ,
says one in every 500 Kiwis suffers from
Parkinson’s and regular activity
will help them. Parkinson’s New
Zealand starts its annual
awareness week tomorrow.
Parkinson’s is the
second most common
neurological condition in
New Zealand and Beddie
says Exercise NZ has
supported the training
of exercise professionals
to better understand the
condition.
Richard
Beedie
“Also as a partner of
Exercise As Medicine NZ, we
have helped train many exercise
professionals to help those with chronic
health conditions, including Parkinsons,” Beddie
says.
“The health benefits of exercise have long been
extolled. Heart disease treatment and prevention,
Experience comfort, stability and ease. Two sizes. Only 4.8kgs.
cancer, and mental health are amongst the most
commonly known areas to benefit from regular
physical activity.
“Exercise can be cheap, relatively safe and free of
side effects. It is increasingly being used to
help manage other health conditions
like Parkinson’s disease.
“Studies consistently reveal
that people with Parkinson’s
can improve in the
following their strength,
endurance, balance,
mobility, walking ability
and flexibility. Research
has shown that people
who exercise are less likely
to develop Parkinson’s.
Everyone with Parkinson’s
should exercise, according to
the Michael J Fox Foundation.
Fox, the actor, launched the
foundation in 2000 after publicly
disclosing his 1991 diagnosis, at aged 29, with
Parkinson’s disease.

The days of hospital specialists
spending more time treating patients
and less time processing referrals may
soon be over.
The AI Forum of New Zealand’s recent
health research report says tens of
millions of dollars are being spent to
come up with an artificial intelligence
system to speed up processes in
hospitals.
Triaging cardiologist referrals from
GPs managing patient referrals has
traditionally been a paper-based
process.
The time-consuming manual process
requires prioritising referrals according
to urgency levels and protocol.
Auckland company Precision Driven
Health (PDH) is PDH is investing $38
million over seven years to personalise
healthcare by running machine
learning on data.PDH is a research
partnership between Orion Health, the
University of Auckland and Waitemata
District Health Board.
The AI forum’s report says the
Waitemata DHB identified
cardiologists were spending too
high a proportion of their time
triaging patient referrals and
reviewing paperwork. Unsurprisingly,
cardiologists would prefer to spend
more time treating patients and less
time processing referrals.
AI forum executive director Emma
Naji says PDH aims to use transfer
learning to reduce the time taken for
hospital cardiologists to prioritise
patient referrals from general
practitioners. Naji has taken over
from Ben Reid at the AI Forum of
New Zealand. She has had a 20-year
entrepreneurial career including digital
voice and recognition, drones and AI.
She co-founded one of the earliest
UK commercial drone companies and
founded AI Advisory in NZ.
“Reducing the triage time allows
cardiologists to spend more time with
patients, reduce patient waiting time
and improving delivery of the right
treatment and care.
“Dr Edmond Zhang, a data scientist
at PDH, is using different machine
learning models on different data
types, including images, scans, textbased
data, and structured data such as
laboratory test results.
“These outputs are combined into
a unified model to triage patients.
PDH will use 14,000 existing WDHB
cardiology triage records to create
the base machine learning model for
this project.“To complete the transfer
learning aspect of the project, this
base model will then be fine-tuned
for other contexts. As at June 2019,
PDH was midway through base model
production and a functional triaging
model for cardiologists should be
ready later this year. Ultimately, PDH
will develop the research outputs into a
commercial platform.
“Orion Health’s smart data platform
will enable clinicians to use these tools
to support their decision making. PDH
needed to gain data ethics approval as
well as anonymising free text data.
“The benefits of using an AI platform
include time and cost savings;
combining multiple data sets means
better insights; and transferring a base
model to different specialisations and
hospitals.”
PPPR
APPLICATIONS
Being able to make decisions about our
lives for ourselves is an important part
of maintaining independence as we age.
Our ability to understand and make
informed decisions is called mental
capacity. Sometimes, through illness or
accident, we can lose mental capacity. If
that happens, you might want a family
member or trusted loved one to step
in and make sure that you and your
belongings are being looked after the
way you want. One way to do this is
through enduring powers of attorney.
EXERCISE THE MIND
SUDOKU - EASY
These are legal documents that grant the
person of your choosing the ability to
help you make decisions if you can no
longer make them independently.
What happens if you lose mental
capacity and you don’t have enduring
powers of attorney in place? The
Family Court has the ability to appoint
someone to act on your behalf under
the Protection of Personal and Property
Rights Act 1988 (“PPPR”). The Court
can appoint someone to look after your
SUDOKU - MEDIUM
QUICK CROSSWORD SOLUTIONS ON PAGE 10
assets, such as your bank accounts and your home, as well
as someone to look after your personal welfare, for example
consenting to medical treatment on your behalf or deciding
where you will live. Often, one person will be appointed
in both roles, but it is possible to have a different person
appointed to each.
Only certain people can apply to Court to be appointed under
the Act, and this includes family members, doctors, social
workers, and some welfare groups. Other people may be able
to apply, but they need special permission from the Court
first. If you want someone else to act on your behalf, such as a
trusted friend, an enduring power of attorney is the best way
to make that happen.
Once an application has been made, the Court will appoint a
lawyer to represent you. It’s their job to discuss the application
with you and to advise the Court of any thoughts you have
about the application.
If the Court thinks it’s necessary and in your best interests,
it will likely grant the application. It’s important to know
that when the Court appoints someone under the Act that
appointment only lasts for three years. This is different from
an enduring power of attorney, which, once it comes into
force, will last until either you regain mental capacity and
choose to revoke it, or upon your death. Once the three years
is over, a new Court application has to be made, which can be
expensive and stressful for the people involved.
Putting enduring powers of attorney in place early is the most
effective way to ensure that you are being cared for the way
that you want and by the people you want. At Harmans we
have a specialist seniors law team with the experience to help
you arrange your affairs. Please call Phillipa Shaw on 03 352
2293 to arrange an appointment to discuss your situation.

WAYS
TO HELP
SCIATICA
8
LIVING
LIFE
EXERCICES
Research shows that sciatica causes your
body to produce lower levels of serotonin
(your “happy” hormone). So even moderate
back pain will drain your good hormones,
kill your mood and STOP you from doing the
things you love... like exercising or spending
time with your family.
What is the sciatic nerve?
Sciatic nerve pain can be so excruciating and
debilitating that you don’t even want to get
off the couch. Common causes of sciatica
can include a ruptured disk, a narrowing of
the spine canal (called spinal stenosis), and
injury. Often, the most problematic body
parts are the lower back and hips.
Most cases of acute sciatica respond well to
self-care measures, which include: Overthe-counter
painkillers, exercises such as
walking or light stretching and hot or cold
compression packs to help reduce pain.
Doctors recommend a helpful way to
alleviate most sciatica pain is to do any
stretch which can externally rotate the hip.

FUNDRAISING
SIMON O’NEILL
IN CONCERT
WITH WOOLSTON BRASS
Proudly sponsored by John Rhind,
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.
Simon O’Neill is proudly donating his
voice to help Woolston Brass raise funds
for the new band hall. The fundraising
concerts being held Friday 8 November at
the Christchurch James Hay Theatre and
Sunday 10 November at the Ashburton
Trust Event Centre will feature tenor classics
such as traditional Irish ballad Danny Boy
(Londonderry Air), Caruso written by Italian
composer Dalla, the famous Swedish Folk
Song (How Great Thou Art) and the iconic
aria Largo Al Factotum from Rossini’s opera
The Barber of Seville. Woolston Brass will
also perform contemporary brass band works
such as Tom Davoren’s Phoenix Rising and
the movement Phoenix from Peter Graham’s
War of the Worlds Suite, both of these works
emulate the rise of a Phoenix from the ashes
of destruction.
“I’m excited to perform with the
distinguished Woolston Brass in November.
I’ve always admired their musical excellence
and reputation and am honoured to be part
of their fundraising campaign to secure their
future home” said Simon O’Neill.
Concert tickets are available for purchase
from Ticketek (Christchurch Concert) and

OPINION
Moving expenses
and bus lanes
Keen to re-enter the workforce after raising
a family, Wanda Price realised she needed to
brush up on her computer skills first.
“I had large gaps in my computer knowledge,
so I knew that I needed to fix this before I
could confidently apply for jobs,” she says.
And fix it she is. Wanda’s currently studying
the New Zealand Certificate in Computing at
her local Ara Connect. Run by Ara Institute
of Canterbury, Ara Connect offers free
computing courses for anyone wanting to gain
skills and confidence using digital technology.
“I chose Ara Connect
because it had the course
I wanted, it was free and it
was easy to get to. And the
‘pick and mix’ timetable
really suits me with a
family. The course is selfpaced,
so you’re only
focusing on what you’re
doing.”
Wanda says she’s
enjoying the course, and
likes her tutor’s teaching
style. “She has the ability
to point you in the right
direction so you can
then solve the problem
yourself. And approaching a tutor at any time
is never a problem – they’re only too happy to
help.”
Wanda encourages others to become a
digital upskiller like her. “Definitely give it a
go! You’ll be amazed at all that you learn and
you’ll enjoy doing it.”
When she completes her certificate, she’s
going to weigh up whether to apply for jobs or
do further study.

DIVIDED: Readers opinions are split on motorists being fined for bus
lane infringements on Riccarton Rd.

Readers react to last
week’s editorial on
city council chief
executive Dawn
Baxendale’s refusal
to say how she spent
her ratepayer funded
$30,000 moving
expenses from
England
(www.odt.co.nz/
star-news/starchristchurch/opiniontell-us-how-30k-wasspent)
Bill Cornelius -
Roll up, roll up, for the
Christchurch City Circus.
New acts added daily. As
there are no blocks in place
for openness and transparency
ratepayers must not
expect to obtain admission
to the ‘Big Top” where all
the main acts take place.
Dan Simpson -
I relocated from Australia
two years ago with my
family. The cost was over
$20,000 with all my accumulated
belongings.The
dog was $4000 by itself.
It was worth it as everything
is double the price
in New Zealand and I had
family to stay with us before
purchasing a house.
If that’s what was negotiated
to get someone that
they think can do the job
than money well spent..
Thirty thousand is probably
a bargain from the
UK. I’m sure they didn’t
put her in a youth hostel
till she found a house to
buy. Get your head out of
the sand and let her get on
with the job.
Trevor Sennitt -
While not an apologist for
the local council and their
secret ways I do not understand
your concern re the
$30k relocation money. It
was part of the contract to
allow this money to assist
relocation. How the family
spent it seems immaterial.
J Williams -
I really do believe you have
no business in inquiries
around how the new
council CEO spent the
$30,000 moving expenses.
She was given that sum
to spend on shipping her
household to Christchurch
from England and I’m sure
it will take that and more
to do so.
Why should we be interested
if that included a case
of wine, a refrigerator, a
double bed or a chilly bin?
She was allocated $30,000
and that should be it.
Readers react to
The Star article on
bus lane fines on
Riccarton Rd
(www.odt.co.nz/
star-news/starchristchurch/369kfines-crossing-buslane)
Jenny Thomson -
I was also fined for entering
the Deans Ave bus lane
too soon on Riccarton Rd.
I had no idea this was an
offence.
This occurred on a very
quiet Tuesday afternoon
. The bus lane was totally
deserted, not a bus in sight
and no sign to say I could
not enter the lane.
I was very shocked to be
fined $150.00 but what a
great little earner.
I requested video footage
of my transgression. The
video showed my car and
two other vehicles entering
the bus lane all in the space
of seven seconds.
So in seven seconds the
council made $450.00.
Why would they want to
put up a warning sign?
Maybe they want the
money for more cycleways.
Grant Wells -
The modern-day mafia.
Judith Callanan -
Don’t drive in bus lane and
you won’t get fined. Stop
whinging and learn road
rules.
Neil Langdon -
It’s been a known fact
since the existence of bus
lanes. How is this chump
been able to be a driving
instructor?
James Boswell -
Ignorance isn’t a defence.
Scotty Wilson -
Revenue raising.
Alistair Price -
I have just been to Brisbane.
I was surprised at
the lack of bus lanes where
we travelled in and around
Brisbane.
The policy in Brisbane is
you must let the bus go first
or get fined. We travelled
in peak hour traffic and the
traffic flow was a lot better
than what we suffer in
Christchurch.
There are a lot more
buses in Brisbane. They are
everywhere. Did our city
traffic planners get it wrong
with bus lanes? Maybe
create a law to let the buses
go first, forget the bus lanes
and save the city council a
heap of money.
Sorry forgot the bus
lane offences are a revenue
stream for the city council.

Kati Mamoe were not
just a small tribal group,
they were a tribe and still
are really. What is known
today as Ngai Tahu is
actually an amalgamation
of Ngai Tahu and Kati
Mamoe, after a pact along
with intermarriage with
the earlier people of the
Waitaha grouping which
was the ancient iwi of Waitaha,
Rapuwai and Hawea.
I know the government is
trying to erase these other
Iwi from history. It would
be nice if the media didn’t
follow suit.
Hilary Anderson -
I am strongly opposed
to the name changes
proposed across Banks
Peninsula, or anywhere
else for that matter. Existing
names are known to
everyone and changes
would create confusion and
disarray to all of us, including
businesses, the postal
service and government
departments. Please leave
them as they are.
Lynne Clark -
When the Treaty of Waitangi
was signed, there were
two parties. The Maori and
the European. I belong to
the latter. I am totally fed
up with changing names.
I don’t mind new places
or buildings given either
Maori or European names,
but am totally against current
names being changed.
I think it’s unnecessary, it’s
rude, and offensive towards
European. Please stop appeasing
loud Maori voices,
and let’s just settle with
what’s current.
Murray Stuart -
No, and again no. Is it not
enough that the Christchurch
Library and just about
everything else new these
days has a Maori name?
Wal Remu -
These names changes are a
load of rubbish - made up
Maori names. Leave them
well alone! The money
could be far better spent
on housing for the homeless,
better public facilities
in many Christchurch
suburbs, and so on. Nothing
wrong with the likes of
Dyers Pass Rd, Sign of the
Kiwi, etc.
Reader Sally-Ann
Marshall responds to
the October 20 article
about crime in Cass
Bay, which residents
say is on the rise
I have to say that as a
Heathcote resident it’s not
confined to Cass Bay.
The boy racers around
here are a daily annoyance.
In the year I’ve lived here
we’ve had a tree trunk
smashed through our car
window, the lamp post
outside our house has been
crashed into and knocked
into our garden in the dead
of night, the letterbox (and
that of many neighbours)
has been obliterated. This is
before we get onto the tagging,
speeding and vandalism
of the domain. There is
also loud music, drinking,
weed smoking and public
toilets smashed to pieces.
For the police
spokesperson to say there’s
no increase is just naive. If
I was to call them for every
incident that occurred I’d
be on the phone to them
most days. I’ve informed
the city council about the
acts of vandalism, as they
and we ratepayers are
unfortunately the ones that
pay to fix it.

Collagen is the bodies youth protein.
It is the primary protein in the body and
is a major component of skin, hair, nails,
bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, teeth,
eyes, blood vessels and joint cartilage.
In fact collagen is the primary structural
component for all tissue in the body,
providing the strength and resilience
associated with youth, beauty and
wellness.
The body’s natural collagen production
decreases with age resulting in many signs
of aging, such as flaccid skin, wrinkles,
ligament and tendon injuries, and aching
joints. Blood vessels can become less
flexible causing blood pressure to increase
and the stomach and intestines more
permeable allowing partly digested food
and toxins to enter the blood stream.
Collagen supplementation is one of the
most fundamental things a person can
do to support a healthy body, prevent
premature aging as well as promoting
youthful vitality.
NEOCELL are the industry leaders in
research on collagen supplementation.
They have perfected a way to hydrolyse
collagen and reduce its molecular
weight improving its absorption
by over 90%. A clinical study on

OPINION
The coming week in our history
December 5, 1890 – New
Zealand’s electoral law had been
changed so that no one could
vote in more than one general
electoral district. This ended the
long-standing practice of ‘plural
voting’ by those who owned
property in more than one
electorate.
December 6, 1905 – For
the first time in New Zealand’s
electoral history, registered voters
who were away from their
electorate on polling day were
able to cast a ‘special’ absentee
vote at any polling booth in the
country.
December 7, 1984 – ‘Tears,
terror at the concert that made
history’ was one of the newspaper
headlines the day after the
Queen St riot of December 1984.
Shortly after headlining
act DD Smash took the stage,
the power went off. As the
10,000-strong audience waited
impatiently, a drunken man
urinated on the crowd from
above; when police attempted to
arrest him, some of the audience
started throwing bottles. There
were a few arrests, and more
police arrived, outfitted in riot
gear. Dave Dobbyn, DD Smash’s
lead singer, allegedly told the
crowd: “I wish those riot squad
guys would stop wanking and
put their little batons away.’’
When the promoters announced
that the concert was
being called off, parts of the audience
rioted. They poured onto
Queen St, smashed windows and
upturned cars.
December 8, 1932 – The
first issue of the New Zealand
Woman’s Weekly was distributed
during the Depression. The
magazine contained advice
on cooking and housework,
romantic short stories, knitting
patterns and feature articles.
December 9, 1867 – After
6½ years of construction, it took
just 6½ minutes for the first
trainload of passengers to speed
through the 2.6km tunnel linking
the Canterbury plains to the
port of Lyttelton.
December 10, 1908 –
Ernest Rutherford’s discoveries
about the nature of atoms
shaped modern science and
paved the way for nuclear physics.
Albert Einstein called him
a ‘second Newton’ who had
‘tunnelled into the very material
of God’
December 11, 1907 – The
country narrowly avoided a great
library bonfire in 1907, when
fire swept through Parliament
Buildings in Wellington.

Caught between a
rock and a hard place
THE CITY council’s new chief
executive, Dawn Baxendale, has
hit the ground running setting
strong expectations in terms of
transparency and accountability
right from the start.
In tabling the report in Parliament,
the Chief Ombudsman said
this: “I’m confident that the new
chief executive and leadership
team is serious about ensuring the
behaviours identified during this
investigation will not be tolerated
at Christchurch City Council”.
He acknowledged that the city
council’s improvement plan had
accepted every recommendation,
which is why Dawn welcomed the
report.
It has been interesting to
observe the commentary about
Dawn’s moving expenses, which
are explicitly covered by her
contract of employment and are
capped.
Instead of the tabloid approach
of ‘did we pay for your dog?’, how
much did the airfares cost? And
how did you travel? I can only
speculate why the city council
wasn’t simply asked what expenses
are covered in the employment
contract for relocating the
new chief executive’s household
to New Zealand from the United
Kingdom.
Dawn Baxendale
Here’s the answer:
“Costs that may be claimed
can include removal of effects,
airfares, surface travel and storage
of personal effects for up to eight
weeks . . . you may also use the
relocation contribution towards
temporary accommodation costs,
Mayor
Lianne Dalziel
city orientation, home search and
settling-in services such as banking,
medical, and transport.”
There is a one-off cost in
employing someone who has an
established life on the other side
of the world. The city council is
contributing $30,000 to that cost.
We have been fully transparent
about that right from the outset.
The costs of moving her household
effects alone will take Dawn
well over the cap, so every cent
she has claimed for airfares or
claims for temporary accommodation
in the meantime, increases
the final cost of the shift, not to
us, but to her.
It’s a big decision to move to the
other side of the world and we are
lucky Dawn agreed to do so.
•The Star did ask questions
of the city council about
the Baxendale relocation
expenses. Her office
declined to release details.

Children’s tale will appeal to all ages
• By Georgia O’Connor-
Harding
A HIGH-PROFILE cast of
performers have been brought in
to re-tell the magical children’s
tale of The Wind in the Willows.
Playing the complex, starring
role of Toad is Cameron Rhodes
in The Court Theatre’s summer
season of the production.
While he claims he has never
had a “big
break” in his
more than
30-year career,
Rhodes has
appeared in
major films
Cameron
Rhodes
associated to
New Zealand
including
The Lord of
The Rings and The Chronicles of
Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and
the Wardrobe .
But while Rhodes, 52, said he
loves film, “there is something
about theatre you can’t compare
it to.”
“A play like this (The Wind
in the Willows) you can do on
screen but it wouldn’t be the
same,” he said.
Published as a children’s
novel in 1908 by Scottish novelist
Kenneth Grahame, the story,
adapted by Alan Bennett, focuses
on four anthropomorphised
animals including Toad.
The show tells the tale of Toad

destroying the serenity of the
English countryside with a motor
vehicle.
His obsession with racing
expensive cars puts the future of
his and his friend’s home in peril
when it leads to wicked weasels
taking over.
“He is privileged and charismatic
but he is a bit like a child
who hasn’t had any boundaries
put on him . . . I can be like
that. It is possible when I was a
bit younger I liked to party for
days. Obviously you can’t sustain
that,” Rhodes said.
A Toi Whakaari: New Zealand
Drama School graduate, he said

although the story is a children’s
tale there are important themes
– particularly on protecting the
environment and the power of
friendship.
“It has got a real company feel
. . . I haven’t been in a cast this
big I don’t think for years. It is
huge, the set and costumes. I
have not been to a set like this, it
has got three revolving stages. It
is spectacular.”
It is not the first time Rhodes
has performed with The Court
Theatre. In 2017 he played a key
role in comedy-thriller Ropable.
Growing up, it didn’t take
long for Rhodes to work out he
wanted to do performing full
time.
“My mother got me into
speech and drama for confidence
I think and I just really liked it
. . . I just knew at about 14 or 15
this is what I want to do forever.”
Rhodes said the reality of acting
is job security is “zero” but
there is the opportunity to work
in many different jobs if a person
enjoys variety
In March, he will perform in
Black Lover in Auckland which
depicts the life of Sir Garfield
Todd who was Prime Minister of
Rhodesia from 1953 to 1958.
From there he will travel back
to Los Angeles to try his luck.
“It is the old question people
ask, should I do it? And it is not
should you, you have to do it,
you haven’t got a choice, if you
are so compelled to do it, do it”
“Otherwise it is just too tough
unless you have a back-up job
which some people do”.

Reaping the heat from chillies
• By Henri Ham
’TIS THE SEASON to chilli.
While it’s easy to get swept up
in everything Christmas related
right now, some people (mainly
me!) are equally (if not more)
excited about something else
during December – chilli season.
Chillies are one of my favourite
plants to grow and eat. It’s not
uncommon to see me wandering
around the nursery snacking on a
chilli as I work. Though I’m a little
more careful about it since the
time I forgot I’d left a Carolina
reaper in my pocket and it burnt
right through my pants to my leg.
Anyway, if you love chillies
as much as me or have always
been keen to try growing them,
now (as we head into the warmer
weather) is the perfect time to
plant them.
Chillies are surprisingly easy to
grow. All they require is a sunny,
well-drained spot in your garden
– similar to where you plant your
tomatoes, basil and parsley.
Right now, you want to be
HOT: These Bird’s Eye chillis are spicy, but pale in
comparison to other types.
planting chilli seedlings – that
are already around five to 10cm
tall. There’s a variety of chillies
available jalapeno and red
hot chilli have a milder spice.
Increasing in hotness, you’ll find
habanero red and bhut jolokia
(ghost pepper).
Now to planting your chillies
– like most veges, the better the
soil quality, the better start your
plants will have. Dig some compost,
sheep pellets or seaweed
into your vege garden to get it in
its best-growing condition.
Then dig small holes (around
4cm deep) and place your chilli
seedlings in. Plant them around
50cm apart, but check the individual
labels as varieties do vary
in size.
The ghost pepper can creep up

world.
to 180cm high, so will need a bit
more room between plants.
Over summer remember to
keep your chilli plants watered,
letting the soil almost dry out
between waterings.
You can give a good feed of
fertiliser every fortnight once
the flowers appear. If you’ve got
a tomato food fertiliser, you can
use this on your chillies too.
Once your chillies are almost
ready for picking, reduce watering
to increase their heat.
Remember to cut (rather than
pluck) them off the plant, to
encourage more fruiting.
Did you know chillies can also
thrive in pots too? You’ll need a
minimum 10-litre pot, with good
drainage holes.
Remember pots do tend to dry
out faster than your garden, so
keep on top of your watering. But
what I love about chillies in pots is
that you can move them round to
chase the sun at the end of summer
– and into a greenhouse (if
you’re lucky enough to have one)
for winter.
Chillies are perennial
plants, meaning (in the right
environment) they could last a
few seasons.
So, if you’re not in a frost-prone
area, give your plant a good
pruning once you’ve finished
harvesting (around April) and
you could have cracker chillies
from the same plant next
Christmas as well.
Zap in some colour with zinnias
• By Henri Ham
IF YOU’D seen me in the garden
lately, chances are I’d have been
tending to my summer veges.
With the (mostly) warm November
we’ve had, my vege and
herb garden has rocketed away.
But now that my greens are
sorted, I’m ready to add some
other colours to my garden beds
– and what better way to do this
than by planting some cheerful
zinnias.
Zinnias are bright, bold, and
best of all, one of the easiest
flowers to grow. In fact, so easy
they’ve been grown successfully
on the international space station;
in 2016.
If you’re interested in the
language of flowers, the zinnia
flower represents endurance and
lasting affection. And it’s easy to
see why - with zinnias being one
of the longest-blooming summer
flowers around.
Zinnias come in nearly every
colour imaginable and are ideal
for beds, borders and pots. Early
summer is the perfect time to
plant them. If you plant zinnia
seedlings now, you should start
to see zaps of colour in around
six weeks’ time.
You can get varieties that will
grow from 20cm to 1m high -
including tall, green and Thumbelina.
A new variety this season
is zinnia candy stripe; beautiful
flowers with unique freckles and
streaks on each bloom.
Once you’ve chosen your seedlings,
look for a place to plant.
Zinnias like a really sunny spot,
and will thrive in a rich humus
soil; however, interestingly they
will cope better than many
COLOURFUL: Zinnias are
one of the easiest flowers to
grow and add some vibrant
colour to your garden.
other flowers in a poorer soil too.
Next, dig small holes around
4cm deep and 15-30cm apart.
Place the seedling in and firmly
press down around its edges.
Give a good initial watering and
then only every few days, when
needed.
Everything seems to grow pretty
well at this time of the year, and
weeds are no exception. Make
your job easier by applying mulch
around your zinnias, to help keep
the weeds at bay. You can also
give your flowers a feed of general
garden fertiliser once a fortnight to
encourage their growth.
Watch out for caterpillars
and mealybugs on your zinnias;
these can be treated with insect
spray, or organically with a
steady stream of targeted water
and pinching fingers. Powdery
mildew can also affect zinnias
too. You can prevent this happening
by watering the roots
rather than leaves and giving the
plants breathing space between
each other.
After a month or so, pinch out
the top, to encourage a bushier
plant with more blooms. If
you’re not sure what pinching
is – it’s breaking off the top 2cm
of the growing tip of a plant to
encourage it to grow out wider,
before it grows up. The same
way you pinch off the very top of
your basil (and other herbs) so it
doesn’t go to seed.
A few weeks later you should
start to see zaps of colour coming
through. Picking the blooms
will stimulate more to blossom.
But leaving the flowers to dry on
their stalks, could result in them
self-seeding next season and
create a cottage garden feel.
If you want the cottage garden
look this summer, plant your
zinnias alongside cornflowers,
foxgloves, sweet williams and
poppies.

So much natural wilderness
to explore on the West Coast
The South Island’s West Coast can be
described as one of the few locations left
in New Zealand where untamed natural
wilderness remains as it has evolved over
many centuries, but with everything
the modern-day traveller looks for
in terms of transportation, range of
accommodation, visitor facilities and
services.
While visiting the Coast is enjoyable
any time of the year, the summer months
generally provide wonderful warm days
– made longer with daylight saving.
Two of the most popular endeavours
on the West Coast in summer are
walking and cycling, or a blend of both.
There are numerous opportunities for
short-duration walks right along this
narrow slice of land – some of less than
an hour and others taking as much as a
day.
The region’s visitor websites list short
walks in 18 locations over the 600
kilometres of the West Coast. Most of
the short walks are family-friendly, with
many relating to heritage sites, such
as the former gold and coal mining
endeavours of the early European
settlers. A short hike down to the banks
of the Hokitika River, where aqua waters
flow through a stunning gorge, is also
Experience a taste of
the gold rush days at
Shantytown
not to be missed, with easy access from
the Hokitika township.
You can also marvel at the region’s
unique scenic beauty on walks to its
most iconic natural spectacles. These
are the vast Oparara Arches northeast
of Karamea, the pancake rocks at
Punakaiki and the Fox and Franz Josef
glaciers in the region’s south – walking
on the cold, packed ice of the glaciers
formed over millennia is a memorable
experience.
The West Coast presents a plethora of
biking opportunities, both for serious
mountain bikers and those that prefer
a more leisurely pace on a bike built for
comfort not for speed.
Two multi-day biking experiences are
centred on the Old Ghost Road and the
West Coast Wilderness Trail. The latter
can be done as a whole, or in stages
as the mood dictates and fitness levels
permit.
The Old Ghost Road provides an
85-kilometre single-track adventure over
multiple days, through remote valleys,
over mountaintops and along river
gorges. It’s graded four, so is not one for
novice MTB riders. The Old Ghost Road
is a dual-purpose facility, which can be
undertaken as a multi-day walk as well
as by bike.
Following a coastal route, the West
Coast Wilderness Trail is promoted as a
“cycle experience like no other”. Ideally
starting from Greymouth, a series of
short rides can be undertaken, and with
smooth trails, places to eat and plenty
to do along the way, it’s a great way to
spend a few idyllic days on The Coast.
While the South Island’s West Coast is well known for its
magnificent scenery and glaciers, no visit to the area is complete
without experiencing Shantytown.
The discovery of gold in 1864 led to a population “explosion”
– from around 300 to almost 30,000 residents. Isolation, rugged
terrain and extreme weather conditions produced stories of
fortitude and ingenuity.
Shantytown tells these stories through a fascinating mix of
experience and displays. Ride the Steam Train along an original
tramway through native rainforest; experience the sights and
sounds of a working sawmill. Watch the mighty sluice gun in action
then follow the races and flumes to the gold claim and learn the
technique of how to pan for your own gold – a strike is guaranteed!
The beautiful setting on over 200 hectares (500 acres) of native
rainforest offers a feeling of remoteness, while only 10 minutes from
the seaside town of Greymouth. The rainforest is easily accessible
with short bush walks and trails around the park.
The village, born of the gold rush, offers delicious refreshments
from King Dick’s Cafe, while the kids can enjoy the flying fox, or try
their hand at the gold rush Treasure Hunt.
For a memento of your visit to Shantytown nothing is better than
to grab a costume and get an old time photo.
With over 30 shops and buildings to explore, there’s so much to
see and do at Shantytown.
Take a step
back in time...
Visit our iconic hotel in Blackball,
soak up the history in the spiritual
home of the NZ Labour movement.

New Paparoa Track offers
more to explore on the Coast
New Zealand’s newest Great Walk, the
Paparoa Track on the spectacular West
Coast, was officially opened on Sunday,
December 1.
The first purpose-built walk to be
constructed by the Department of
Conservation, the $12 million track has
been eagerly awaited by walkers and
mountain bikers keen to explore this
previously little-known part of New
Zealand.
Located just north of Greymouth, the
55km track traverses from Blackball on
the eastern side of the Paparoa Range,
over the ranges through Paparoa National
Park and to Punakaiki. Incorporating
limestone karst landscapes, ancient
rainforest, weathered alpine forests and the
breathtaking Paparoa National Park, this
memorable journey will take walkers three
days to complete and mountain bikers two
days.
The track has been built on behalf of the
NZ Government at the request of the Pike
River families as a thank you from them
to provide a lasting economic benefit to
the West Coast, and as a tribute to the 29
miners who died in the 2010 Pike River
Mine Disaster.
Unfortunately a recent slip has closed
the middle section of the track. However,
the aim is to have the track fully open on
December 22, 2019, depending on the
weather.
Accommodation close to
the track
Formerly the Blackball Hilton invites
visitors to enjoy genuine West Coast
hospitality. Built in 1910, the historic
building has been restored as close as
possible to its original condition
Accommodation is available for up to
40 people inside (twin, double or group
rooms) sharing “off-suite” bathroom
facilities. Powered sites are also available.
Guests can enjoy delicious meals in the
town’s only a-la-carte restaurant, relax in
the garden bar, meet the locals, utilise the
free wi-fi, while Sky television is available
in the guest lounge.
The Paparoa Track Shuttle pick-up is
close to the hotel, and the kitchen staff can
provide plentiful provisions for the threeday
hike if required.
New tiny houses
Already famous for its tasty selection of
salamis, in preparation for the expected
influx of Paparoa Track visitors the
Blackball Salami Company has added
accommodation to its services with three
brand-new tiny houses being installed on
their property.
Each tiny house can accommodate two
people, either in a king-size bed or two
single beds, has an en suite bathroom and
a kitchen area with sink, fridge, electric
jug and toaster. Warm and sunny, these
tiny houses offer stunning views of the
mountains – a taste of what’s to come on
the track.
And of course, the Blackball Salami
Company’s selection of salamis provide a
tasty snack for track walkers and mountain
bikers to enjoy along the route.

Hazeldine pivotal in Lancaster
Park’s premiership title
• By Gordon Findlater
CANTERBURY’S TOP wicket
taker in one-day cricket this
summer proved he’s no mug
with the bat either, when he
returned to club level and helped
Lancaster Park win Sunday’s
premiership final.
Left-arm quick Andrew Hazeldine
- who bats right-handed
- came to the rescue late in
Lancaster Park’s innings after
batting first and falling to 138/8
in the 36th over. The 25-year-old
produced what would prove to
be a crucial knock of 43 from
46 deliveries in his side’s 30 run
victory over Old Boys Collegians.
Hazeldine’s innings included six
boundaries and helped Lancaster
Park to a total of 194 before he
was dismissed in the 48th over.
“It was a bit of an interesting
situation when I went in. I just
wanted to do the best I could for
the team and get a decent total
we could defend,” said Hazeldine.
Lancaster Park then bowled
OBC out for 164 in the 46th over.
However, the run chase looked
like being completed earlier
before Jeff Case was run out for
52. Angus Hamilton and Fynn
Hudson-Prentice were the best of
the bowlers, taking three wickets
a piece. Surprisingly, Hazeldine
wasn’t able to contribute with the
ball, taking no wickets and bowling
five wides and one no-ball
from his seven overs.
But, at domestic level Hazeldine
is in fine form. Earlier last
week he helped Canterbury to
win two of their three Ford Trophy
one-day matches at Hagley
Oval. In four matches this season
Hazeldine has taken nine wickets
at an average of 19. His best effort
came in a resounding 117 run
victory over Otago, with figures
of 3/14.
The zippy left-armer is capable
of bowling over 140km/h and
being shorter in stature adds a
different dimension by skidding
the ball on.
“The ability to hurry guys up
helps, but at the same time I

Collegians to win the one-day premiership final by
30 runs.
have to be a lot more skilful and
controlled with my bowling now.
Out and out speed doesn’t always
work,” he said.
Growing up in England,
Hazeldine first picked up a bat
as a toddler. While he has always
been a left-arm bowler, he admits
the chopping and changing
between left and right-handed
batting over the years has led
to developing a handy reverse
sweep shot.
In 2006 he moved to Christchurch
with his family and went
onto play for the St Andrew’s
College first XI and Lancaster
Park. Last summer he was
offered his first contract with
Canterbury Cricket and admits
the reality of being a professional
cricketer is still setting in.
“It’s still quite a pinch yourself,
can’t believe it’s happening kind
of thing. The environment and
set up we have if fantastic. It feels
like a big family and we all get
along,” he said.
Canterbury now turn their
focus to the Twenty20 Super
Smash which they begin at
Hagley Oval on December 15.
Hazeldine has just one domestic
T20 cap to his name, but is
hopeful the strong Ford Trophy
performances could see him
showcase his abilities in the
short format.
STARRING ROLE: After
helping Canterbury to two
wins from three games
during the week Andrew
Hazeldine proved pivotal
with the bat for Lancaster
Park in their one-day

Proudly brought to you by...
Jorja Miller stars in
CGHS sevens success
• By Gordon Findlater
IN TERMS of bursting onto the
scene it doesn’t get much bigger
than scoring four tries in the
final during your school’s first
ever win at the country’s biggest
sevens rugby tournament.
Jorja Miller was the star of the
show when Christchurch Girls’
High School won their first
ever Condor Sevens title. The
15-year-old is now being pipped
as an up and coming superstar
of the women’s game after winning
the most valuable player
award at the tournament.
Although she scored four
tries in her side’s 29-14 win over
Howick College in the final,
arguably her finest moment of
brilliance came in a nail-biting
win over Hamilton Girls’ High
School in the semi-final.
Golden point extra-time was
required after the scores were
locked at 17-17 on full-time.
Miller then stole the show with
a spectacular individual try
from inside the CGHS 22m
line which was started with
an impressive side step. It then
took her just 90sec into the
final against Howick to pull off
another try from her own 22,
courtesy of another trademark
sidestep.
“She just went next level
Tower JuncTion
Phone: 348 6020 Open 7 days 11am to late www.speightstowerjunction.co.nz
over the weekend and blew
the tournament wide open.
She gave the girls around her a
lot of confidence to play their
part as well,” said coach Jamie
Livingston.
“Her ability to jump sidestep
probably isn’t something that
has been seen since Benji Marshall,
but she’s a very down to
earth kid.”
After finishing runners-up in
2017 and third last year Livingston
says becoming the first ever
South Island girls team to win
the tournament was icing on the
cake.
“It’s a pretty amazing effort
considering what the North
Island schools put into their
sevens programmes, so we
were pretty over the moon that
our goal has been achieved,” he
said.
Earlier, CGHS recorded wins
over Aorere College (24-12),
Long Bay College (31-0) and
Tauranga Girls’ High School
(40-0) in pool play. In the
quarter-final they accounted for
Manurewa High School 31-12.
Next weekend Miller will
play for the New Zealand team
at the World Schools festival.
Fellow CGHS player Salome
Naikau has been selected for the
NZ Fijian team to play at the
tournament.

TRAVELERS: Connor Heap (left) and James Meredith will compete in the final of the
country’s biggest interclub tennis competition tomorrow night.
Christchurch tennis duo
serving it up in Auckland
• By Gordon Findlater
TWO Christchurch players are
at the heart of an Auckland club
looking to win the country’s
biggest inter-club tennis title for
the first time on Friday night.
For the past two months James
Meredith and Connor Heap
have travelled to Auckland to
help Cockle Bay reach their first
Caro Bowl final. They will now
play a major role if the club are
to claim the title when they take
on Next Gen at Stanley St. It
will be the club’s second grand
final appearance after falling to
Blockhouse Bay four years ago.
“The one thing we’ve got this
year is depth. One player can’t
win a team competition, all
four guys have to chip in,” said
Meredith.
In their 6-1 semi-final win
TO THE many Crusaders fans
who feel annoyed or angry about
the team choosing to rebrand by
changing their logo, your team is
not to blame.
In the wake of Friday’s new
Crusaders logo following a
rebranding exercise, many fans
have vented their frustration –
predominantly online – some
vowing to never purchase Crusaders
merchandise again.
Don’t get me wrong, I for one
would have loved to have seen
the original logo stay, but some
perspective is needed when
over Blockhouse Bay Meredith
and Heap combined to win their
doubles match 6-4, 6-7, 10-5.
In singles Meredith defeated
George Stoupe 6-4, 6-0, while
Heap swept past Justin Megraw
6-1, 6-1.
“It’s a real confidence booster
having him [Heap] behind me.
I know he’s not going to miss
many balls,” said Meredith.
Meredith has played at No 1
throughout the competition for
Cockle Bay and is likely to come
up against New Zealand Davis
Cup player Rhett Purcell.
Cockle Bay has had a strong
Christchurch presence since
gaining promotion to the
premier Auckland competition
seven years ago. Meredith’s older
brother Matt has been a regular
over the years, while Heap’s
younger brother Dylan turned
understanding why it didn’t. One
thing which has become apparent
is that many of the angered
fans seem to believe the decision
to change the logo was the Crusaders’
decision-makers buckling
to a politically correct thinking

Waimairi player James Spence
also played for Cockle Bay in
their early Caro Bowl years.
“There’s a good buggers rule in
the team. We only have people
in the team that we get along
with and they’ve been a big part
of it. Jimmy [Meredith] has been
coming up for a number of years
and we’ve become good mates
out of it,” said Cockle Bay team
manager Jono Frankle.
Last week promising Canterbury

in the women’s Caro Bowl final.
The 15-year-old won both her
doubles and singles matches.
However, her Bucklands Beach

Pride need just a one point
from Saturday’s home match
against Auckland to secure
home advantage for the National
Women’s League grand final.
At the weekend the Pride
were held to a nil-all draw in
Auckland by second placed
Northern Lights in a possible
preview of the grand final. Going
into this weekend’s final round
Canterbury are three points clear
of Northern and six points clear
of third-placed Auckland who
will need a win at English Park to
have any chance of making it to
the final on December 15.
In October the defending
champion Pride defeated Auckland
1-0, a performance which
Pride coach Alana Gunn still
rates as one of the team’s best this
campaign. They can expect the
visitors to come out all guns blazing
on Saturday with their season
on the line.
“They need three points otherwise
their season is done . . . we’ll
definitely play for that. The message
will be if we don’t concede then we
have a home final,” said Gunn.
The Pride’s only defeat of the
season came in a 1-3 loss at
English Park to the Lights in
October. The side will take confidence
from the weekend’s draw
where they kept a clean sheet
against the team they’re likely to
play again on the biggest day of
the season.
“I feel like we had the better of
them for longer periods of time
. . . we were happy with a point
and a clean sheet,” said Gunn.

Saturday is the first of two big

Don’t blame the Crusaders for a change of logo

Canterbury for the past three
decades, because of a link which

Yes, the new logo will never be

Get adventurous in Toyota’s RAV4
WHILE TOYOTA’S new RAV4
stands out for its family-friendly
profile, there’s no doubt Toyota
want the latest generation model
to appeal to a wider audience.
Included in the eight-model
line-up is a one-specification
four-wheel-drive version labelled
Adventure. It is the hero car in the
line-up and such is its popularity
there may be a wait while stocks
land in good supply.
There’s not a lot mechanically
different to the standard RAV4,
however, the Adventure gets a
body kit and interior treatment
that makes it stand out markedly
from the rest of the range. If you
like bold and brash it is the car
for you, large fenders, aggressive
bumper and grille, and big wheels
are there to tempt. Inside, there is
also bright orange detailing.
It is also a high-grade model,
most of what is found in Limited
specification is fitted to the
Adventure and, as you might
expect Adventure rounds out the
series at $48,990. Bear in mind
the RAV4 starts at $34,990, and
includes hybrid models which
land from $38,990.
The Adventure is in the lineup
as a point of difference, and
after a week in the car I can
Motoring
Ross Kiddie
certainly see its appeal. When I
tested the hybrid model in these
columns in July I suggested it was
the sport utility vehicle for me,
and that hasn’t changed. However,
I would be tempted with the Adventure,
it looks a little bit rugged
and it has appeal in that way.
As I’ve covered in the past, the
new RAV4 is all-new, the platform
is fresh and the body style
quite a departure from the previous
generation.
That being the case, it is stateof-the-art
mechanically and that
shows when you are driving it,
not so much in terms of mechanical
power but it handles a
lot differently, it is more stable
and for lack of better words,
more normal, more car-like from
behind the wheel.
Yet, the Adventure has off-road
ability. The downside of evaluating
a four-wheel-drive vehicle
off-the-seal in spring is that it gets
very dirty, so I didn’t tackle anything
too serious, but I did use an
old forestry track near Hororata
which is a good test of suspension
control. The ground was
very soft thanks to a drenching a
day or two before, however, the
RAV4 never felt as if I was going
to end up with a complete loss of
TOYOTA RAV4 ADVENTURE: Capable on sand or seal.
• Price – Toyota RAV4
Adventure, $48,990
• Dimensions – Length,
4610mm; width, 1865mm;
height, 1685mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
four-wheel-drive,
2487cc, 152kW, 243Nm,
six-speed automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 8.5sec
• Fuel usage – 6.8l/100km
traction.
That’s due a lot to the engine
and dynamic torque vectoring
drive management protocols
which can be dialled in by the
driver. There’s a console-mounted
button which selects the choice of
several modes – snow, mud, sand,
dirt, rock. There are also protocols
for highway driving, eco,
normal or sport.
Each has its own unique character
with the end result being
the best outcome depending on
the surface. Take into account
too, that the wheels and rubber
are up an inch from the standard
models, the big Yokohama tyres
(235/55 x 19in) are street-treaded
but they do dig out grip on soft
surfaces.
The non-hybrid RAV4 buyer
effectively has a choice of two engines,
2-litre or 2.5-litre. The Adventure
has the big displacement
unit and it is an easy-worker. The
benefit of cubic capacity is the
lack of obvious stress, the 2487cc
twin-camshaft engine just lopes
along and works freely through a
six-speed automatic transmission.
The big benefit of that is the lack
of fuel it uses, there is little loading
so Toyota’s claim of 6.8-litres per
100km (42mpg) usage on a combined
cycle is not unachievable.
My time with the test car
returned figures of 8.2l/100km
(35mpg) with a 6l/100km
(47mpg) instantaneous figure
available at 100km/h, the engine
ticking over slowly at just
1600rpm.
If lively acceleration is needed,
the engine will burst into life
with strong mid-range performance
– standstill to 100km/h in
8.5sec and 80km/h to 120km/h
in 5.4sec. The latter relates
directly to engine power, Toyota
claim outputs of 152kW and
243Nm, both outputs arriving
tall inthe rev band at 6600rpm
and 4500rpm respectively, that
matters little, the specific outputs
are strong enough to provide that
direct flow of power right across
the rev range.
On my highway evaluation I
was passed by a RAV4 of an earlier
generation. The vehicle was fourup
and on the roof rails sat several
sets of skis. I figured Mt Hutt was
the destination, and I couldn’t help
but think how suited to that road
the RAV4 was. I strongly suspect
the occupants were a little envious
they weren’t driving the latest
generation model, especially the
Adventure model.
Its name lends itself to a role
just that little left-of-centre, yet
it still is the quintessential RAV4
that Kiwi buyers have come to
embrace.

Proposed Changes to
Cashmere High School Zone
Over recent years increasing in-zone student
enrolments at Cashmere High School has meant
our school is now at capacity. The Board of
Trustees are seeking to manage this student roll
growth by amending to our school zone with an
aim to reduce our school roll.
All information on the proposed zone changes is
available on our school website (www.cashmere.
school.nz) under ‘Latest News’.
The Cashmere High School Board of Trustees
are seeking community consultation on the
proposed school zone changes before a final
decision can be made.
A public meeting will be held at 6pm on
Thursday 30th January 2020 in the Cashmere
High School Performing Arts Centre.
Please either email submissions to:
bah@cashmere.school.nz or post to Cashmere
High School, 172 Rose Street, Christchurch 8024.
The closing date for this consultation process
is Monday 10th February 2020.
