FIRE RISK WARNING 

Don’t get trapped as 

temperatures soar 

DANGER: Fire chiefs are warning people to be wary of areas such as this road at 

Godley Head, due to their isolation as the city’s fire risk level reaches extreme. 

• By Sophie Cornish 

PEOPLE ARE being warned not 

to go to areas they may not be 

able to escape from if a major fire 

breaks out in Canterbury. 

The warning comes from fire 

chiefs and police as days of hot 

temperatures, reaching into the 

early to mid-30s, will continue 

until Tuesday, with potentially 

record-breaking temperatures 

in some areas. 

The fire risk in Canterbury 

will reach extreme this weekend 

– the highest on the scale. 

Fire and Emergency New 

Zealand is encouraging 

people to avoid isolated areas 

that have only one or two entry 

and exit points, one example 

being Godley Head. 

Said FENZ specialist fire 

investigator Wayne Hamilton: 

“Stay away from those areas. 

We would suggest rather 

than walking up the hills, go 

along the beach. People need 

to be conscious that they are 

entering high fire danger areas,” 

he said.

Warning for Styx Mill serial flasher 


MEMBERS OF the public and 

police have combined to find 

a man exposing himself in a 

popular recreation park. 

The 19-year-old was caught by 

a police dog patrol in the Styx 

Mill Reserve on Sunday afternoon. 

It followed more than 10 

reported sightings of the man, 

often doing an indecent act, 

over three weeks, Christchurch 

North Community Patrol chairman 

Sam Hall said. 

A police spokeswoman said 

the man was arrested and given 

a pre-charge warning. 

The warning is an alternative 

to prosecution for offenders who 

have committed offences with a 

maximum penalty of no more 

than six months imprisonment.

EIGHTEEN-MONTHS-AGO 

Tim Hunt was watching a video 

on how an American traded in a 

paperclip for a house. 

Sitting on the couch beside 

him just happened to be a plastic 

fork. 

Then an idea struck the 

30-year-old musician – if an 

American turned a paperclip 

into a house – could he do the 

same with a fork? 

“I thought, you know what? 

I’m gonna do it!” said Mr Hunt. 

On December 27, Mr Hunt 

traded a Merida road bike for a 

1999 Nissan Serena. 

It was his biggest trade yet, and 

his eighth. 

It all started with a friend, who 

was willing to take on the plastic 

fork in exchange for a book, 

about snoring. 

“I’m in a band called Stonehurst, 

we’ve been around for 

about 15 years. Stace is a lead 

singer from another band and 

we’re quite good friends. I think 

he took it on and thought it 

might go well. He took it happily,” 

said Mr Hunt. 

The book was then traded for a 

soft guitar case, which was then 

traded for a hedge trimmer. 

The hedge trimmer was then 

traded in for a sound rack, which 

was traded for a Nintendo gaming 

console. 

From there, Mr Hunt acquired 

a 32” LG TV, in exchange for the 

console. 

The TV was then traded up for 

the road bike, which he sat on for 

a while. 

“This guy (who had the road 

bike) was a bit down, he had a 

bad break up and needed a TV 

because he moved out of his 

home and I actually had a whole 

bunch of DVDs and CDs that I 

gave him as well.” 

“I’ve just been waiting for the 

right opportunity. The main

prosecute, even though there is 

sufficient evidence to do so. 

“It’s quite ironic that the dogs 

found him in the dog park,” Mr 

Hall said. 

A woman, who didn’t wish 

to be named, said her teenage 

daughter and another teenage 

family member were out walking 

on a track off Hussey Rd, 

when the man, with his pants 

down, began following them. 

purpose of it is bigger and better. 

Every time I trade I have to trade 

of at least equal or greater value.” 

He struck a good deal when he 

found a man willing to trade in 

his Nissan for the bike. 

“He had been looking for a 

bike for a while and wanted to 

bike around, go to the shops etc. 

He has another vehicle and the 

van had been sitting there taking 

up room for a while.” 

Mr Hunt is now looking ahead 

to the next milestone, which he 

hopes will be property. 

“I guess the next logical step 

“When they looked around he 

kept hiding behind bushes, they 

started to jog as they felt really 

uncomfortable and felt something 

wasn’t right. It was a hot 

day and he had a thick hoodie,” 

she said. 

Mr Hall said his patrol group, 

which has about 30 volunteers, 

had been monitoring the area 

during its daytime and evening 

patrols.

a single plastic fork

is a caravan – that would be cool 

to go to next. It might be more 

difficult from now on. 

“I’m just having fun. I just 

want to see how far it goes. I 

could even get a house. It will be 

interesting to see where it goes. 

People have been following it and 

loving it.” 

His advice for anyone considering 

doing the plastic fork game 

was simple: 

“Be patient, have a positive 

outlook, don’t expect too much 

and be open to receiving.”

Dog killed, two people 

injured in crash 

A dog was killed when a car 

crashed and flipped on to its 

roof yesterday morning. Two 

people were also injured in 

the incident just after 9.10 

on Travis Rd, west of the 

Anzac Dr roundabout. One 

was moderately injured and 

another sustained minor 

injuries, a St John spokesman 

said. A police spokesman 

confirmed the dog, which was 

in the car at the time of the 

crash, died. 

Man jailed for breaking 

into parking meters 

A man has been jailed for at 

least 30-40 thefts of parking 

meters in the city, totalling 

anywhere from $20,000 to 

$35,000. But police failed to 

prove that the self-confessed 

night raider, Brent John Davie, 

was the thief behind more 

than 170 machines that were 

targeted. The 46-year-old was 

jailed for a year by Judge Kevin 

Phillips in the district court 

yesterday. Davie previously told 

police he would cycle around 

the central city with a jemmy 

bar tucked up his sleeve. 

Pool reopened after 

repairs 

Jellie Park Recreation and 

Sport Centre’s recreation pool 

reopened on Saturday after the 

tank tiles were repaired. Said 

a Christchurch City Council 

spokeswoman: “The Jellie Park 

recreation pool was repaired 

and reopened to the public on 

Saturday, 25 January.” A city 

council memo last week said 

the pool tank was relined due 

to a significant number of tiles 

failing and customers and staff 

receiving cuts to their feet. 

Free fruit offered on 

new map 

The city council has released a 

new online map revealing where 

people can find free fruit and 

nuts across the city. In total, 

there are 122,741 council-owned 

trees in Christchurch and Banks 

Peninsula. Of these, 6846 are

A WHITE supremacist jailed 

for sharing disturbing footage 

of the mosque shootings has 

been banned from the city’s two 

mosques – and from having any 

contact with all Muslims. 

Philip Neville Arps, 45, who 

was sentenced to 21 months in 

prison last June for spreading 

disturbing footage of the Al Noor 

Mosque massacre, was scheduled 

for release late yesterday. 

But last week, the Department 

of Corrections applied for extra 

release conditions, on top of the 

raft of conditions imposed on 

him when he was sentenced at 

the district court on June 18 – 

including a blanket internet ban, 

inspections of any electronic 

device capable of accessing 

the internet, counselling, and 

drug or alcohol treatment 

programmes. 

Corrections officials said they 

have “ongoing concerns” about 

Arps’ risk to the public, in particular 

to the Muslim community, 

after fears over his “general 

behaviour” towards prison staff, 

along with intercepted letters 

and phone calls. 

The content of those letters 

and phone conversations were 

CITY COUNCILLOR Phil 

Mauger has made a bid to get 

parts of an earthquake-battered 

road in the eastern suburbs 

relocated to the red zone. 

Cr Mauger said parts of New 

Brighton Rd should be moved 

30m to higher 

ground in the red 

zone away from 

the Avon River. 

This makes 

more sense than 

the ongoing 

Phil Mauger 

patch-up costs 

ratepayers face 

when the river floods in high 

tides and heavy rain, and damages 

the road, he said. 

Cr Mauger said as a result of 

his idea the city council put a $1 

suppressed by Judge Stephen 

O’Driscoll at a special hearing 

over Arps’ prison release conditions 

at the district court on 

Monday. 

Yesterday, judge O’Driscoll approved 

extra special release conditions, 

which includes a ban on 

Arps entering or loitering near 

any mosque, prayer room, or any 

other place where the Muslim 

community congregates, without 

prior written approval from his 

probation officer.

Corrections said the moves 

were for “victim safety” and felt 

that jail time hadn’t reduced his 

risk to the Muslim community. 

Arps, who does not hold a gun 

licence and has more than 30 

previous criminal convictions 

for indecent assault, guns, drugs, 

burglary, and fraud, is also not 

allowed to possess or use firearms,

Cr Mauger said relocation of 

New Brighton Rd to red zone 

land would be a priority for himself 

and the Coastal-Burwood 

Community Board he sits on. 

“Every community board has 

six things they want to achieve 

this term, this is one of our priorities. 

“Just slapping paint on something 

that is buggered is not the 

way.” 

City council head of transport 

Richard Osborne said if New

the project would need to be 

added to the next Long Term Plan

or BB-gun activities. 

Arps had challenged the extra 

conditions sought by Corrections. 

Through defence counsel 

Anselm Williams, he argued that 

the existing “carefully considered” 

release conditions would 

be sufficient and was critical that 

the Corrections report writer 

had never met with Arps in person 

and spoken to him about his 

views or correspondence. 

There was nothing to suggest 

Arps was a physical threat or at 

a heightened risk of reoffending, 

Williams said. 

A Corrections official who 

gave evidence at the hearing said 

that Arps, who compares himself 

to Adolf Hitler’s deputy and war 

criminal Rudolf Hess, found 

anyone who disagrees with his 

belief system to be offensive. 

She fears he could harm 

the Muslim community again 

“through his views … most 

likely through online advocacy.” 

The Muslim Association of 

Canterbury supported the extra 

release conditions, saying the 

community is “still very much 

traumatised” and says it’s imperative 

that Arps, who maintains 

his anti-Muslim rhetoric cannot 

visit or be seen around mosques 

nationwide. 

Corrections also expressed 

concern over Arps’ business 

Beneficial Insulation, with its 

various Nazi symbols and white 

supremacist messages, and 

sought a condition that prevents 

him from using his employment 

as a platform to promote extreme 

views. 

However, Judge O’Driscoll did 

not impose that condition. 

Full reasons for his decision 

will be released today.

CITY COUNCILLORS say 

Canterbury has received a 

“slap in the face” over the 

Government’s $12 billion 

nationwide infrastructure 

package. 

The North Island will receive 

the majority of the funding, with 

$3.48 billion spent in Auckland, 

$991 million in Waikato and the 

Bay of Plenty, $692 million in 

Northland and $1.35 billion on 

Wellington. 

Canterbury will get $159 

million and 

Queenstown, 

the only other 

South Island 

area to receive 

any funding, 

will get $90 

million. The 

$249 million 

allocated 

towards the South Island is less 

than the $692 million put aside 

for a single road in Northland, 

a 22km four-lane corridor from 

Marsden Point to Whangarei. 

City councillor Sam 

MacDonald described this as a 

“slap in the face.” 

“I think Christchurch and 

Canterbury, in general, deserves 

better, the reality is we are still 

recovering from the earthquakes,” 

he said. 

City councillor Aaron Keown 

also described it as a slap in the 

face.

“To say that is a bit of a slap in

warned. 

said the cash injection into 

the region would help prepare 

Canterbury for the future. 

“Canterbury is of course in 

a unique position because our 

earthquake recovery necessitated 

major infrastructure investments 

in our roads, hospitals 

and schools. For example over 

the last decade, more than $1.4 

billion has already been spent 

on Christchurch motorways 

projects. Today’s announcement 

adds to the investments already 

made,” she said.

was made by Prime Minister 

Jacinda Ardern and Minister 

of Finance Grant Robertson 

yesterday.

Alleged 

assault at 

junior 

tennis 

• By Gordon Findlater 

POLICE WERE called to Wilding 

Park on Tuesday after an alleged 

assault on a player at a junior 

international tournament. 

The incident happened after a 

match between a top ranked New 

Zealand player and a promising 

Australian at the International 

Tennis Federation Event. 

It is understood the player accused 

of the assault put his shoulder 

into the other player following 

a heated match. 

The father of the alleged victim 

called the police and told them 

his son had been assaulted. Police 

went to Wilding Park and spoke 

to the players involved. 

A police spokesperson said it 

was unlikely any further action 

would be taken. 

The player alleged to have made 

the assault was withdrawn from 

the tournament. It is understood 

he has the right to appeal any further 

sanctions handed out to him. 

Tournament director and ITF 

official Tony Glentworth did not 

want to comment on the incident 

due to it currently being under 

investigation by the ITF. 

Tennis Canterbury chief 

executive Ryan Forbes was 

also unable to comment on the 

incident due to the tournament 

falling under ITF jurisdiction. 

said the operation is continuing 

and is monitoring suspicious 

behaviour. 

He is encouraging members 

of the public to take photos, 

particularly of vehicles and 

people, who may be acting 

suspiciously. 

• Phone 111 immediately if 

you see or smell smoke, 

or see any suspicious

The Otautahi 

Community 

Housing Trust is 

nine months into 

a pilot programme 

which places its 

tenants into jobs. It 

is currently seeking 

funding for it to 

continue beyond 

May. Louis Day 

reports on how the 

programme found 

one man a job 

after spending the 

majority of his life on 

the benefit 

AUSTEN SPRIGGS had been on 

the benefit for 24 years. 

The 42-year-old was born into a 

beneficiary family. 

“When you are brought up into 

a beneficiary family you sort of 

become institutionalised into it,” 

he said. 

But in November, his life 

changed completely: He got a job 

the day he signed up to the Otautahi 

Community Housing Trust’s 

employment coach programme. 

He works as an asbestos 

labourer with TechClean that 

is currently working at the old 

Linwood College site. 

Since being employed in 

November, he has completed his 

training and is now a fully qualified 

class A and class B asbestos 

labourer. 

TechClean Canterbury manager 

James Ackroyd said Mr 

Spriggs was “a dream to work 

with.” 

“Austen has been superb as a 

worker and also on a personal 

level,” he said. 

In order to become a supervisor 

Mr Spriggs needs at least two 

years of experience. This was 

something he said he wouldn’t 

rule out going for in the future.

Tracie Palmer around the site he now works on.

Mr Spriggs said his new job 

had given him a “new lease of 

life.” 

“I am definitely the happiest I 

have been in a long time. I don’t 

have anxiety anymore. 

“It is good being around the 

other guys, they really are quite 

good guys. It is great to have a 

laugh with them, it is so much 

better than being isolated in a 

little flat all day. 

“I don’t have any plans of going 

anywhere anytime soon.” 

He said the programme had 

specifically helped him with 

formulating a CV, getting 

appropriate clothing for a 

job interview and his overall 

confidence. 

“I was a bit lost, I had that long 

time off work, I have dyslexia 

as well which just makes things 

even harder. 


Long-term beneficiary finds 

job gives new lease on life 

“I didn’t know how to find a 

job, I kind of just lost touch with 

all of that. I am useless with 

computers. 

“I definitely would have struggled 

just doing it [finding a job] 

by myself, I don’t think I would 

have had a job by now,” he said. 

The programme started in May 

2019 and is currently scheduled 

to run to the end of May this 

year. 

However, Otautahi Community 

Housing Trust tenancy 

operations manager Martin 

Pearce said it was currently 

seeking funding to ensure the 

programme continues. He said it 

was “hopeful” of securing more 

funding. 

Mr Pearce said since the programme 

began it had helped 10 

tenants into employment and a 

further five into educational and 

occupational programmes. 

He said the programme has 

provided support to 50 tenants 

in total. 

Along with help formulating 

CVs, getting interview clothes, 

job searching, interview skills, 

travel and ongoing support six 

months into employment, the 

programme also has a job club 

where tenants can share ideas 

and support each other in finding 

work. 

Job coach Tracie Palmer, who 

has spearheaded the programme, 

said the job club had a significant 

impact on the overall wellbeing 

of tenants. 

“There is lots of improvement 

in well-being with a lot of them. 

They might not all get a job 

straight away but you do see that 

wellbeing improve at the very 

least,” she said.

Mosque 

leader 

to speak 

at US 

conference 


THE IMAM of Al Noor Mosque 

Gamal Fouda will feature 

as the keynote speaker at an 

international conference aimed at 

challenging Islamaphobia. 

The challenging 

Islamophobia 

Conference 

in Minnesota, 

which will take 

place a year and 

two days after 

the mosque 

shootings on 

March 17, 

invites speakers 

from across 

Imam 

Gamal Fouda 

the globe to discuss challenging 

Islamaphobia. 

Imam Gamal Fouda received 

widespread praise for his response 

in the aftermath of the March 15 

terror attack. 

A week after the shootings 

he led a call to prayer in Hagley 

Park where thousands of people 

including Prime Minister Jacinda 

Ardern heard his message that 

“evil ideology” will never triumph 

over “love and unity.” 

He was also elected to the 

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board in last year’s 

local body elections. 

The Council on American Islamic 

Relations, which is hosting 

the event, will be covering all of 

Mr Fouda’s travel and expenses. 

Council On American Islamic 

Relations chief executive Jaylani 

Hussein said Mr Fouda was 

chosen as the keynote speaker 

mainly because of his leadership 

and representation of the Muslim 

community in Christchurch. 

On Tuesday, the city 

council announced a national 

rememberance service of the 

mosque shootings would be held 

on March 15 in North Hagley

Charges 

over selling 

homekill 


A CHRISTCHURCH dairy is 

facing prosecution for selling 

homekill meat. 

Eight charges under the Animal 

Products Acts have been laid 

following an investigation by the 

Ministry of Primary Industries. 

An MPI spokesman said it was 

unable to provide any further information 

about the investigation as 

the case is now before the courts. 

MPI’s website states the penalties 

for breaking homekill rules 

are significant. 

“The maximum fine is $75,000 

for individuals and $300,000 for 

corporations.” 

In New Zealand, homekill trade 

is restricted to be eaten only by 

the animal’s owner, family, household 

or any farmworkers involved 

in a farm’s daily operations, their 

family and household. 

It can also be served on a marae. 

Homekill cannot be served to 

paying customers, bartered, raffled 

or donated as a prize or fundraiser. 

It cannot be used by schools, 

universities, hospitals or prisons. 

Its trade is restricted only to parts 

of the animal that are not for 

consumption, such as hide, skins, 

horns or antlers. 


LIBRARIES collected $316,000 

in fines for overdue, damaged 

and lost books last year. 

A staggering 4,734,658 fines 

were handed out which is an 

increase from the 4,664,676 

fines and $292,946 dished out 

throughout 2018. 

The city council currently has 

$235,745 worth in outstanding 

fines. 

This comes as the city council 

revealed the most issued book 

of 2019 was British author Lee 

Child’s Past Tense which is the 

23rd book in the Jack Reacher 

series. The crime thriller novel 

series follows former American 

military policeman, Jack Reacher, 

who wanders throughout the 

United States. 

Child’s The Midnight Line, 

which is the 22nd book in the series, 

came in as the second most 

issued book of last year. 

Adults are charged 70c per day 

for overdue books with a $21 

maximum fine per item. 

City council head of libraries 

and information Carolyn 

Robertson said the money from 

fines was put into the libraries

general fund which helped offset 

expenditure. 

She said when an individual 

with an adult membership returns 

an overdue book to the 

library, the fine is automatically 

added to their membership record. 

“If the fine is not paid within 

one month, or the customer has 

fines owing of $30 or more, then 

the customer cannot borrow any 

more items until such time the 

fine is paid,” she said. 

Ms Robertson said debt collection 

agencies become involved 

when fines exceed $30 and once an 

item becomes 62 days overdue. 

She said with lost or damaged 

items individuals are charged the 

total cost of the item, plus a $21 

processing fee. 

“A recovery fee is only charged 

once an outstanding debt is 

referred to a debt collection 

agency.”

THE MAJORITY of community 

boards are cutting back on 

catering costs following public 

scrutiny last term. 

The Banks Peninsula Community 

Board is the only board to 

increase its catering budget. 

It now takes the title of the 

highest spending board with 

an estimated $228 put aside for 

catering per meeting, an increase 

from the $216 allocated towards 

catering in the previous term. 

City council head of community 

support, governance and 

partnerships John Filsell said a 

new supplier was being trialled 

and options were being explored 

to reduce costs. 

“Meetings are at Lyttelton, 

Little River and Akaroa; this 

requires elected members and 

others to travel some distance to 

and from the meeting, extending 

the overall time commitment. At 

some venues and at some times, 

such as Little River, there may 

not be the opportunity for elected 

members and others to purchase 

refreshments close by,” he said. 

Banks Peninsula board 

members may have the highest 

catering budget, but they have 

the lowest annual salary. Banks 

Peninsula board members are 

paid $9864 and the chair $19,729, 

whereas city board members 

are paid up to $24,580 and their 

chairs up to $49,160. 

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton, 

has cut back its catering budget 

again after coming under fire 

mid-way through last term. It has 

reduced its budget from $78 to 

about $68 a meeting, it previously 

sat at $174. 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

will not have any catering 

after a decision was made last 

term to remove it. 

Coastal-Burwood will also go 

without any catering this term 

following “modest catering” last 

term. 

However, Mr Filsell said these 

board members would still have 

access to a kitchenette facility 

where they could make their own

tea and coffee which would have 

no impact on the catering budget. 

He said options were being 

explored to reduce the Spreydon- 

Cashmere catering budget of 

$130 to around $90 a meeting. 

Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

has shaved about $25 off its 

catering budget by purchasing 

items directly from the 

supermarket as opposed to a 

catering supplier, bringing the 

budget to an estimated $75 a 

meeting. 

Papanui-Innes will spend 

a maximum of $50 a meeting 

following a decision to reduce costs 

last term.

Programme 

aims to boost 

central city 

residents 


A NEIGHBOURHOOD walks 

programme starts on Saturday 

in a bid to boost the central city’s 

residential population to 20,000 

by 2028. The programme is part 

of the city council’s Project 8011. 

The free 90min walks will 

be led by central city resident 

Richard Ball. 

City council head of urban 

regeneration, urban design and 

heritage Carolyn Ingles said 

“The walks will help council 

staff gather more information 

about initiatives that might 

achieve good neighbourhoods in 

the central city.” 

She said two walks would be 

undertaken initially, but up to 

five walks could go ahead. 

“After the first two walks are 

completed, council staff and Tē 

Pūtahi will undertake a pause 

and review process to evaluate 

the results, approach and scope 

of the project.” 

The city council has commissioned 

independent non-profit 

organisation Tē Pūtahi to run 

the programme. 

The cost of two walks to the 

city council is $7150, the cost of 

five is $14,710.

Celebrating 30 years racing 

2020 Skope Classic - Car Racing like no other! 

After 30 years of uninterrupted classic race meeting, 

the Canterbury Car Club along with the long-time 

sponsor and supporter, Skope Industries, will celebrate 

the iconic two-day birthday event this weekend with 

some fanfare. 

Originally under the name of the BP Alfa Classic, 

PDL Industries took over naming rights in 1995 before 

Skope became involved in 2003. The enthusiasm from 

competitors and the public has never waned, and the 

meeting remains the biggest in both entry and crowd 

numbers on the club’s calendar. 

A handful of cars from the inaugural 1991 event 

remain and while the value of these cars has increased, 

the current owners still believe that as racing cars, their 

right place is on the track. 

Over the years the event has invariably carried a 

theme. This year it will celebrate 50 years of the Open 

Saloon Car Association (OSCA). Strictly a South Island 

affair these days, OSCA was formed by a local group 

who deemed that the costs of racing in the national 

championship for “all-comers” type cars had become 

too expensive. 

In the early years, the front running cars were always 

V8 powered. This has changed with time, with turbo 

and rotary-powered cars also becoming front-runners. 

For OSCA’s birthday at the Skope it is anticipated that 

some 30 cars will line up. Some of these have not raced 

for years. This includes the winning MK1 Ford Escort 

Turbo of Michael Johnston, a car restored and driven 

by new owner, Nick Donaldson. 

Also in the field will be a 1977 5-litre Alfa Romeo 

Alfetta, a car that has not raced in OSCA but against 

them in the 1980s. It is competing by invitation and will 

be driven by former BNTV8 champion, Angus Fogg. 

Other saloon cars of note that will compete in other 

classes include three former Australian Supercars, a 2004 

Ford Falcon, a 2006 Ford Falcon and a 2007 Holden 

Commodore, along with a selection of New Zealand 

muscle cars and the Historic Touring Car category. 

A crowd-pleaser for many years has been the Formula 

5000 revival series cars. The category fits nicely into the 

theme of classic cars. At a time when the “sound of silence” 

vehicles are becoming more common on the road, it is 

generally accepted that the sound of these cars along with 

the V8 saloon cars are an added crowd attraction. 

In the driver line, will be the well-known Richards 

family - father Jim, a seven-time winner at Bathurst, his 

son Steven, a five-time winner of this classic event and 

his son, Clay, who now drives Formula Ford in Australia. 

While the major attraction is a wonderful array of 

cars, the meeting is also designed to cater for families. 

Pit entry comes at no extra charge and spectators are 

welcome to mingle with drivers and their cars. For 

younger family members, there will be a number of 

activities. We’ve got one huge children’s activity area 

this year. 

There have only been 4 outstanding 

drivers who have taken part in all 30 

Classic Car events, now known as Skope. 

Dennis Champan, Debbie Chapman, 

Keith Cowan & Brian Dixon.

OPINION 

The coming week 

in our history 

January 30, 1911 – A 1910 

amendment to the Gaming Act 

banned bookmakers from New 

Zealand racecourses, other public 

places and hotels. 

January 31, 1921 – Piloted 

by Captain Euan Dickson, the 

first flight of the Canterbury 

Aviation Company’s new airmail 

service left Christchurch at 8am, 

carrying several hundred letters 

to Ashburton and Timaru. 

February 1, 1981 – 

Transtasman sporting relations 

reached a new low at the 

Melbourne Cricket Ground when 

Australian captain Greg Chappell 

ordered his brother Trevor to 

bowl the final delivery of a 50- 

over cricket international against 

New Zealand underarm along the 

ground. 

February 2, 1974 – The 

men’s 1500m final was run on the 

last day of the 1974 Christchurch 

Commonwealth Games. 

Tanzanian Filbert Bayi ran the 

first 800m in 1min 52.2sec, 

conserved energy on the third 

lap, and held off 22-year-old John 

Walker to set a new world record 

of 3min 32.16sec. 

February 3, 1931 – When 

an earthquake, measuring 7.8 

magnitude, struck at 10.47am, 

many buildings in central 

Napier and Hastings collapsed 

immediately. In terms of loss of 

life (256), it remains the worst 

civil disaster to have happened in 

New Zealand. 

February 4, 1985 – New 

Zealand’s Labour government 

refused the USS Buchanan entry 

because the United States would 

neither confirm nor deny that the 

warship had nuclear capability. 

February 5, 1911 – 

Pioneering aviator Vivian Walsh 

took to the skies over South 

Auckland to make the first 

successful flight in New Zealand. 

LAST YEAR the council signed 

off on a major programme of 

works to get heat pumps and 

ventilation into 909 priority 

social housing units by the 

beginning of next winter – that 

is by the beginning of June. 

Obviously, some individual 

units could require more time, 

for example electrical wiring 

issues, but the goal is to have 

them all completed in that time 

frame. 

Nothing has changed, and 

we remain on track to deliver 

this part of the Warm & Dry 

programme. 

So why the confusion? 


Great idea for battered road 

I LIKE PEOPLE who think 

outside of the box. 

It’s where we get our best innovations, 

it leads to discoveries 

and new ways of doing things. 

On page 4 today, we have one 

of those out of the box ideas – 

and for my money it looks like a 

pretty good one. 

New city councillor Phil 

Mauger wants part of New 

Brighton Rd rebuilt on red zone 

land. 

New Brighton Rd was 

smashed in the February 22, 

2011, earthquake and parts of 

the road, which is the major 

link between Shirley and New 

Brighton, is still in fairly much 

the same state. 

Ongoing patch-up repairs 

have worked for a short time 

but water from the Avon River 

always returns in a big tide or 

when it rains to undo the work. 

So Mauger has come up with 

an idea. Move part of New 

Brighton Rd away from the river 

onto the red zone. 

Last year the city council earmarked 

$1 million to fix a tiny 

part of the road between Bower 

Ave and Wattle Drive. 

It floods badly there – always 

has, even well before the earthquake 

when a king tide or heavy 

winter rain fell. The river would 

spill over and run down towards 

Wattle Drive. 

To rebuild all of New Brighton 

Rd would cost squillions, but 

doing something is vital if it is 

to be able to carry the muchanticipated 

traffic when New 

Brighton becomes a thriving 

seaside village in 10 years. That’s 

according to some of our city 

The council tender (1/11/19) 

was for a panel of contractors 

to supply and install heat 

pumps and mechanical ventilation 

to 416 social housing units, 

with further installations as 

required. 

This was interpreted as meaning 

we were not going to meet 

the winter target of 909 units, 

From the 

editor’s desk

leaders anyway. 

So after what appears to be 

Mauger’s idea, the city council 

has parked repairing the stretch 

between Bower Ave and Wattle 

Drive, pending further thinking. 

That’s a good idea. 

but that was incorrect. The 

tender process was designed to 

allow staff to assess the performance 

of the contractors as the 

first wave of installations got 

underway, (as well as the price 

per install), before issuing the 

rest of the works for the remaining 

installs. 

And then there was the added 

BATTERED: City councillor 

Phil Mauger (above) has 

come up with a novel idea 

to fix New Brighton Rd, one 

of the city’s most damaged 

roads in the February 22, 

2011, earthquake. 

Now the real work begins in 

terms of mapping out how parts 

of the road could be moved from 

where it is now onto parts of the 

red zone, how much that will 

cost and when it can be factored 

into the city’s budget. 

Mauger should sit alongside 

council staff when that conversation 

happens. 

As a businessman in the construction 

industry he will know 

best value for money for ratepayers 

if the project gets traction. 

That’s the kind of cooperation 

and outside of the box 

thinking we need going forward.

confusion of including the insulation 

component of the Warm 

& Dry Programme, which was 

always the next stage and due 

to be delivered by the end of the 

year. 

So, an assumption was made 

that the programme had slipped. 

It hasn’t. And we remain committed 

to achieving the goal that 

we have set for 909 units to have 

the heat pumps and ventilation 

installed by winter. 

I am sorry to see our social 

housing tenants get caught 

up in what started as a 

misunderstanding of the 

tender.

OPINION 13 

Items including sacred 

pounamu have been stolen 

from the graves of two of 

Gwyneth Beard’s children 

Tania Hopkins – Every 

time I’ve put stuff on my mum’s 

and brother’s graves it’s been 

taken. We even found some of 

the stuff a little further down. 

It’s very upsetting that people do 

this. 

Angela Cribb – My son’s 

grave got some Christmas stuff 

taken already. We are going 

cement stuff down, hopefully, 

they don’t get broken. 

Jess Taylor – It’s absolutely 

disgusting behaviour. My 

cousin’s picture on her headstone 

has been defaced and broken 

twice. The people who do these 

things will have their share of 

bad juju. Karma is a wonderful 

thing. 

Laura Macioce – Disgusting 

behaviour. Someone stole my 

son and nephew and niece’s 

vases from the grave. Makes 

me sick how people can do such 

things in other people’s tragic 

circumstances. 

Wendy Johnson – My 

dad’s photo set in marble 

was chipped off his headstone 

and taken. Disgusting that 

they can do it to children’s graves 

too. 

Cherie Fredricksen – It 

should be a safe place, however, is 

it worth it putting things like that 

into temptation of idiots. Have 

a shrine at home and put them 

there where it is safe. 

Niki Kitto – This is just 

appalling that some people have 

no respect for others, stealing 

from a child’s grave is the lowest 

of the low. 

Stacey McConnochie – 

It’s heartbreaking for an already 

grieving mum to again be faced 

with heartache. We put these 

things with our loved ones as 

an extension of our love and for 

it to be taken makes me so 

angry. 

Maureen Diane Pope- 

Beacham – How can anybody 

do such a cruel thing as to steal 

from a grave. So very sad for the 

family. Absolutely disgusting. 

Sondja Emmerson – My 

mum was heartbroken several 

years ago upon learning that 

flowers and trinkets at her mum’s 

grave were stolen. She went 

online to share her dismay and 

a young guy posted and was 

bragging that he takes flowers 

from cemeteries to save money 

when he wants to treat his mum 

or girlfriend. 

Lou Skinner – Who is dumb 

enough to steal greenstone and 

even worse from a grave? They 

will pay more than they know for 

that. So sad. 

Alison Aluni – People 

who steal taonga are asking 

to have an illness, maybe not 

them but whoever they give it 

to. Who steals from graves 

anyway? 

Cheryl Smith – My heart 

grieves for this mum and for 

all those who apparently have 

no longer have hearts or moral 

compasses. 

Helen Smith – I am not 

surprised but this especially 

after the first offender was 

not charged. Seems like it 

okay to steal these days. Even if 

caught, nothing happens. 

Stephanie Hagerty 

– Do we have to put cameras in 

graveyards now to keep things 

safe there as well? 

Danielle Baxter – That’s 

tapu. Good luck with karma. 

Mike Vivian – Well those 

thieves will live a life of misery. 

We all know what happens 

when you steal someone else’s 

greenstone. 

William Patterson 

– Stealing from graves? What the 

hell is wrong with people? 

Carina Mulitalo – Bottom 

line is no one should ever touch 

someone’s final resting place. 

Debra Sinclair – Sad but we 

really need camera surveillance 

in cemeteries now. 

A plan by Chinese artist 

Yang Yi to find a home no 

one seems to want for a 

Richie McCaw sculpture 

Gerald Thorner – I think a 

fitting place for it would be in the 

plaza in front of The Dunedin 

Railway Station to help advertise 

The NZ Hall of Sports Fame. 

Secondly, it could be installed 

in the town where Richie grew 

up. Or thirdly a centrepiece for 

the new Christchurch Sports 

Stadium. The piece conveys

sport that is iconic in New

Kerry Coles – I would not 

like the Richie McCaw statue 

in Christchurch. I prefer trees 

actually. 

Rosemary Fraser – We 

don’t want yet another 

grotesque sculpture in our city. 

Our city suits water fountains 

and we have some lovely public 

art on our buildings and we have 

a glorious mix of architecture. 

Maybe there could be a Wall of 

Heroes at our new stadium that 

displays facial or full-body relief 

sculpture and information on 

why we venerate that person. If 

we must have sculptures littering 

our city they need to be in 

keeping with our environment 

and not huge.

time, money, travel expenses 

and security in situations 

such as this? I’m all for them

and boosting morale, but the 

Commonwealth also has a lot 

of smaller nations, who’d likely 

rather not put the expense of 

‘hosting’ back on their regular 

taxpayers. 

Kim Rose Powers – Why? 

He was the one who wanted to 

come. 

Liz Richardson – Doesn’t 

bother me. Great he visited and 

supported Christchurch. 

Wade Millar – The 

costs were not payment. 

They were security-based 

and more. However, you can 

guarantee there was a decent 

return on the money spent 

through local business being 

busier with people coming 

out to see them. Swings and 

roundabouts really. 

Jude Cayford – What good 

did it do having him here, waste 

of money. 

Jonathan W Goodman 

– Ridiculous. Paying for royalty 

when our allegiance to the 

monarchy is holding us back 

from developing a unified 

national identity. 

Chief Ombudsman Peter 

Boshier says the city 

council appears to be 

making good progress 

in response to his heavily 

critical assessment of it last 

year. 

Trevor Taylor – Won’t 

improve until Dalziel is gone. 

Owen Fine – It’s always been 

run by the backroom executives. 

Those elected are just along for 

the ride. 

Pony ride could lead to an uncertain financial future 

SO, MY financial future may be 

in dire straits. But boy, I’m so 

proud of Vittoria. 

Continuing the fun of birthday 

season we had another second 

birthday on Saturday, this time in 

rural North Canterbury. 

Being that it was farmyardthemed 

there were a few animals 

in attendance – rabbits, guinea 

pigs and a few hot cows hiding in 

some shade in a back paddock. 

However, the grand flourish was 

a pair of ponies available for rides. 

Vittoria had only seen ponies 

at Willowbank previously but 

didn’t seem too put out by them 

or even excited when we arrived. 

Her first reaction was to run right 

past them to go down a slide a 

few times. 

Other kids were happily taking 

short rides on either one of the 

ponies, which got Laura and I 

curious as to whether Vittoria 

would be willing to do the same. 

She did not take a huge amount 

of convincing, I asked her once 

and she happily followed me 

over to a waiting steed and let me 

lift her onto the saddle without 

complaint. 

I was worried she would fall 

off as soon as I let go, so hovered 

about a bit while the woman organising 

the rides got her sorted – 

including putting her helmet on, 

which surprisingly elicited not 

even a squeak out of her. 

With my worries still lurking 

about, I tried to keep a reassuring 

hand on Vittoria’s back (ready 

to grab her should she make 

an insane dive from the pony). 

But it became apparent pretty 

VITTORIA 

& Matt 

quickly that she was in no need of 

Daddy’s help. 

She sat in the saddle perfectly, 

confidently. Her expression calm, 

back straight, her body moving 

slightly to allow for the movement 

of her mount. 

Within about 5m of her ride, I 

stood back in amazement. 

As far as my talent goes on 

horseback, I’ve only got fleeting 

memories of some lessons I took 

inland of Waikuku. 

My great-grandmother Mary 

Matches was known in her 

younger days as a rather skilled 

horse-breaker and talented rider, 

so I’m guessing her skills have 

jumped a few generations. 

Unfortunately, in another 

unlike-my-great-grandmother 

moment, I neither live on a farm 

nor own a horse. So if a passion 

for equestrian pursuits has been 

awakened in Vittoria, I’m looking 

at a long future of forking out 

for pony clubs, lessons and, God 

forbid, a ruddy horse. 

Expensive as that all may be, 

GIDDY-UP: 

The moment 

my financial 

future fell 

into a state of 

jeopardy. 

if it would give her as much 

happiness as that pony ride 

did on Saturday and she’s truly 

passionate, I’ll make it happen.

THEATRE/ARTS 


Show aims to change society’s 

views on sex and relationships 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

AJ JUER always knew many 

people do not understand what 

real consent is. 

But when Juer went to 

interview 17 people as part of 

research for a new show on positive 

sex, relationships and communication, 

the 22-year-old was 

shocked to learn sexual violence 

in society was even worse than 

he initially thought. 

Last year, the National Academy 

of Singing and Dramatic Art 

graduate decided to interview a 

wide range of people identifying 

as women, transgender 

and non-binary to gather their 

experiences on growing up and 

understanding their sexuality. 

The research was to help Juer 

write a new play aiming at getting 

audiences to realise society’s 

understanding of sex and relationships 

is “not adequate.” 

The young performer also interviewed 

people assigned female 

as birth, regardless of what their 

sexual/gender identity is now, to 

understand what women feel is 

expected of them in society. 

But what Juer took away from 

the interviews was “absolutely 

shocking.” 

“Out of the 17 people I interviewed 

there were one or two 

people who hadn’t experienced 

sexual assault.” 

Juer said what was even more 

disturbing was while 17 people is 

a small number and not statistical 

or scientific, the interviews 

weren’t specifically aimed at 

speaking to people who had 

experienced sexual assault. 

“I didn’t say I wanted to 

interview women, transgender 

and non-binary people who have 

experienced sexual assault. 

“Just by chance, almost every 

single person has experienced 

some sort of sexual manipulation 

or emotional manipulation 

within relationships,” he said. 

It comes as a national survey 

from Counting Ourselves, which 

focuses on the health and wellbeing 

of trans/non-binary people 

in New Zealand, found trans/ 

non-binary people experience 

sexual violence at more than 4x 

the rate of the general population. 

The in-depth survey of 1178 

trans and non-binary people 

aged 14-83 released last year 

revealed almost a third of participants 

reported someone had 

sex with them against their will 

since they were 13. 

Statistics from Aviva Family 

Violence Services also showed 

one in three women experience 

physical/sexual violence from a 

partner in their lifetime. 

It is why Juer wants to highlight 

in the show how important 

it is to have open communication 

with a sexual romantic partner. 

“I want people feeling less like 

sex is about “I have to perform” 

AJ Juer 

or “I have to get something from 

the other person” and more like 

sex is about mutually benefiting 

each other in a way where you 

both feel safe,” he said. 

It is hoped the play will be 

completed over the next year. 

Juer also wants people to 

question the sex education in 

schools and the common narrative 

society has around sex and 

relationships. 

Last year, a report released 

by the Education Review Office 

found the majority of schools 

were not meeting students’ needs 

with sex education and they 

were being let down by a lack of 

education around consent, pornography 

and sexual violence. 

While Juer’s show is in the 

early stages, it is hoped to be 

staged as a sex therapy session 

with the main character teaching 

people about consent from a 

comedic perspective. 

He said one of the most common 

shared experiences to come 

out of the interviews is manipulation 

in a relationship in which 

a person feels safe. 

It was also found people who 

identify or previously have identified 

as a woman felt pressure to 

please people. 

In the midst of working on the 

new show, Juer, formerly known 

as Amy Juer, has recently gone 

through a massive life change 

coming out as transgender. 

Compared to others, Juer 

has had the “best experience 

possible” coming out - with a 

supportive network of family, 

friends and acquaintances 

“I am lucky from a personal 

experience because my family - 

even if they don’t fully get it they 

try to get it,” Juer said. 

Even people who are not Juer’s 

friends want to accommodate 

and learn. 

“I think it just is the older 

generation - I think they are just 

really scared.” 

Before coming out, for years 

Juer would not allow the possibility 

to explore being transgender/non-binary. 

“I felt really uncomfortable in 

my own skin not because I hate 

LOVE OF THE ARTS: AJ Juer (lying down) performing in Blackboard Theatre Collective’s 

production of He Says She Says last year as part of a fundraiser for The Champion Centre. 

my body but because I was really 

forced into the whole woman 

thing”. 

But since coming out Juer has 

had to face the daily frustrations 

of getting people to use the correct 

pronouns, in spite of it not 

being new. 

“I definitely have fears of people 

getting annoyed because I am 

transgender please don’t ignore 

that, please don’t treat me like a 

woman, please don’t expect me 

to be a woman, use my correct 

pronouns in the workplace.” 

Juer described coming out as 

transgender in the theatre scene 

as an “interesting experience” 

due to not knowing anyone else 

in the industry at the time who 

identified the same. 

Companies such as The Court 

Theatre have tried to accommodate 

Juer’s requests. 

But Juer has fears as a freelancing 

actor of not being protected 

under the law. 

“It would be very easy for anyone 

to go well we won’t put you 

in a contract again because the 

fact you are transgender annoys 

us.” 

Currently under the Human 

Rights Act 1993, it doesn’t 

explicitly protect people from 

discrimination on the ground of 

gender identity, but it prohibits 

discrimination on the grounds 

of sex. 

It was reported while the 

Human Rights Commission 

interprets sex to include gender 

and gender identity, in a 2008 

Transgender Inquiry said to 

advance the rights of LGBTQI 

people, trans people need explicit 

protection under the act. 

Juer said while the new show 

isn’t about gender, within society 

gender plays a role in sex and relationships 

and the entire experience 

of coming out is valuable in 

its creation.

GARDENING 

Dining al fresco? Make sure your 

outdoor living area is up to task 

IT’S DEFINITELY the time 

of year we all like to get 

outside as much as 

possible. 

It’s warm and you now 

have plenty of time in the 

evenings after work to have 

a relaxing meal in your garden 

or outdoor living area. 

It’s very easy to design an 

area that will make outdoor 

entertaining enjoyable. 

• Plants –Try and use 

plants that you like the look 

of, and that complement 

the garden area whatever 

your favourite style, and 

plants that will help to 

soften any solid structures 

like concrete walls and 

paving. 

The best idea is to take a 

note when you go to other 

peoples places, of what 

plants you like, and this will 

help you in choosing the direction/ 

style for your own 

area. Plain wooden fences 

most of the time look ugly, 

and a bit like prison walls, 

so softening these is a good 

start. You can do this by 

planting a hedge, or a border 

of assorted plants and 

where there is very little 

room, espaliering a plant 

onto a fence is easy and 

very effective. 

• Water features — 

There are some awesome 

water features available 

these days, in all shapes 

and sizes. If you want the 

water feature to be seen 

from several angles you will 

need to select one where 

the water spills over on all 

sides. 

The latest trend is that 

the water features are made 

of a composite material

they look very natural. Also 

the sound of water near 

an outdoor living area is a 

relaxing sound. 

• Garden sculptures/ 

art – If adding either art 

or sculpture into your 

garden it will, like the water 

feature, add an element that 

you don’t get in lots of other 

gardens. Set amongst your 

plants or in pride of place 

on a feature wall, it will add 

a point of interest that will 

certainly get your visitors 

talking.

A. Azaleas are attacked 

by leaf-spoiling thrips in 

warmer weather. Protect 

new growth with 

pesticides. 

B. Beans are easy-grow 

summer veges. Climbing 

beans take up minimal 

space. 

C. Cut back long shoots on 

climbers so they don’t 

snare passers-by. 

D. Daisies, which come in 

all sorts of shapes, colours 

and sizes, brighten summer 

gardens. 

E. Eggplants love the warm 

weather in late summer. 

F. Fuchsias can be trimmed 

back in midsummer. 

G. Gardenias look at their 

best in summer. Feed with 

fertiliser and, once a year, 

with iron sulphate. 

H. Hydrangeas can be 

pruned straight after 

flowering or can be left to 

develop autumn colours in 

the blooms. 

I. Indoor plants can be 

given a spell outside during 

summer, but make sure you 

keep them in the shade. 

J. Jumping insect pests are 

also called leafhoppers. 

Control with pyrethrum. 

K. Keep on top of summer 

weeds by hand pulling or 

spraying as soon as they 

appear. 

L. Set the blades on 

your mower higher for 

thesummer months. 

M. Make plans. A garden 

is not a static place – things 

grow larger, things die, 

your use of it changes as 

you and your family age. 

Every garden benefits from 

an update now and again. 

N. Nectarines and peaches 

are favourite summer fruit 

but they’re very susceptible 

to fungal diseases like shot 

hole. Use a copper spray in 

late winter. 

O. Over-watering kills 

many plants. Make sure 

soil drainage is adequate 

and don’t leave water-filled 

saucers sitting under plants. 

P. Pick tomatoes, beans, 

berries and other crops 

regularly. This promotes 

further production. 

Q. Quercus species (english 

oak, pinoak, scarlet oak) 

are popular shade trees for 

larger gardens. 

R. Roses can be pruned in 

mid-summer to promote an 

autumn flush. Remember 

to keep them watered for a 

good floral repeat. 

SWEET: 

Nectarines 

are a 

favourite 

summer fruit 

but be wary 

of fungal 

diseases.

to summer gardening 

S. Sweet corn tastes best 

when it’s home grown and 

picked fresh. 

T. Tomatoes, too, are home 

garden favourites. If you 

have a glut make a pasta 

sauce and freeze or get out 

the preserving pan and 

relish, chutney or green 

tomato jam for a taste of 

summer in mid-winter. 

U. Update your reading. 

Summer is the perfect 

time to increase your 

knowledge or make new 

garden plans. 

V. Vines such as 

mandevilla, bougainvillea 

and pandorea add colour 

to the summer garden in 

warm areas. 

W. Water at the base of 

the plant to keep leaves 

dry and prevent fungal 

diseases. 

X. Xeronema callistemon is 

the native poor knights lily 

– they may take 15 years 

to flower from seed but 

provide a spectatcular 

display when they do. 

Y. Young plants may need 

temporary shade 

protection until they are 

established. 

Z. Zucchinis are fast 

growing and productive in 

the home vege patch.

14km, 6km Community Fun Run Event 

#Areyouupforit? www.city2surf.co.nz 

weeK Three: Knuckling down and some tips on nutrition and weight loss 

In week 3 the early excitement of the City 2 Surf project you have undertaken is wearing off. You may not have 

sensed a big improvement in fitness levels yet and other commitments are getting in the way of training. After 

your determined start the first doubts set in: “Can I do this?” This is the time to knuckle down. You need another 

2 or 3 consistent weeks before you notice a significant improvement in fitness and energy levels and perhaps 

some noticeable weight loss. Once that happens you will be well on your way. The best time of day to exercise is 

early morning. It is good to get it out of the way and it will energise you for the rest of the day. Later in the day you 

might just feel that little bit of fatigue or things crop up which will tempt you to say “tomorrow is another day….” 

This can easily become habit and before you know it you have lost one or 2 training sessions every week. Of 

course you might have a good reason for not being able to get out early. Other times of the day for your training 

session are perfectly fine too but good planning is required. A light snack (toast/bread, fruit) before your early 

morning training session is generally recommended to assist your blood sugar levels. This also applies if you 

exercise later in the morning or afternoon. Breakfast or a meal after training will assist with replenishing energy 

stores. Exercising before going to bed might keep you awake for a while if you are a light sleeper.

To achieve this goal 

you need to develop 

some awareness around 

the basic requirements 

of exercising for health 

and fitness. First and 

foremost this has to do 

with 3 key principles: 

1. How often do you train? To 

improve your level of health and 

fitness you will need to aim for 4 

sessions per week. 2 or 3 sessions per 

week will only maintain what you have and 1 

session per week is definitely not sufficient. 

2. How long are your sessions? The 

duration of your sessions will generally 

build towards between 30 and 50 minutes 

with one longer session of 60-80 minutes. 

3. What is the right intensity to train at? 

The good thing about the programme 

is that all your runs will be done at 

submaximal pace, also called conversation 

pace. That means a pace where you can still 

talk. If you can’t talk you are going too fast

If you need to lose some weight, then this 

training programme will help you. But it 

will only do so if you pay attention to your 

nutrition at the same time. Healthy choices 

include bread and or cereals for breakfast, 

sandwiches or a salad for lunch and an evening 

meal consisting of plenty of vegetables with 

fish, chicken or lean meat. Pasta and rice are 

also good staple foods for active people. 

One helping and avoidance of rich desserts 

will assist your weight loss. A healthy snack 

mid morning and afternoon will help you get 

through the day. Fruit is always an excellent 

choice. Avoid fatty foods and snacks with 

refined sugars. If you need help with your 

nutrition or weight loss this might be a good 

time to have a consultation with an expert, like 

one of the SportsMed nutritionists.

SUMMARY 

Proud Sponsors

IT’S THAT time of the 

year again. 

Super Rugby starts 

tomorrow, yes it’s still only 

January, but it’s time to 

gaze into the crystal ball 

and take a look at how this 

year’s competition could 

shape up. 

The biggest question on 

all of our minds is if the 

Crusaders can accomplish 

a record fourth straight 

title which would undoubtedly 

mark this generation 

of the team, under Scott 

Robertson, as our greatest 

ever. 

Unlike the beginning of 

his first title campaign the 

bookies have the Crusaders 

starting the season as 

favourites. However, with 

the departure of more 

than 800 games of Super 

Rugby experience in Owen 

Franks, Sam Whitelock, 

Matt Todd, Jordan Taufua, 

Kieran Read and Ryan 

Crotty, this will be his biggest 

challenge yet. 

It’s hard to read too 

much into pre-season, but 

the last two weeks would 

suggest the Crusaders will 

be a force to be reckoned 

with after wins over the 

Hurricanes (40-19) and 

Highlanders (41-7). 

There is no doubt about 

the Crusaders attacking 

prowess which boasts 

arguably the competition’s 

best backline. Richie 

Mo’unga will once again 

stake his claim as the 

country’s best first-five 

with the likes of Braydon 

Ennor, Jack Goodhue, Will 

Jordan, Sevu Reece, David 

Havili and George Bridge 

to feed. 

The one area the Crusaders 

are likely to be targeted 

is at the breakdown with 

some questions remaining 

around the lack of experience 

in the loose forwards 

after the departure of 

Read, Todd and Taufua. 

There is no doubting the 

class of the experienced 

Whetu Douglas and if the 

likes of Tom Christie, Billy 

Harmon, Sione Havili and 

Tom Sanders can step up 

to the rigours of Super 

Rugby then there’s no reason 

to think the Crusaders 

can’t be there come the 

grand-final. 

The biggest threat within 

the New Zealand conference 

is likely to come from 

the Chiefs who look strong 

with the return of Aaron 

Cruden from abroad and 

Damien McKenzie from 

injury. Brodie Retallick’s 

departure to Japan is a 

major loss, but the recruit- 

MR FIX IT: Can

laughing stock to 

relevance? 

ment of Warren Gatland as 

coach is a massive coup for 

the Chiefs. 

Further north it will remain 

to be seen if the Blues 

can finally sort out their 

woes with the addition of 

Beauden Barrett. Surely his 

star power combined with 

a flurry of talent which is 

yet to reach its potential 

has the right ingredients 

to return the Auckland 

franchise to relevance. 

Another question begging 

this year is if we will 

see a return to strength in 

South Africa. For the best 

part of over a decade any 

New Zealand side going

Crusaders are the 

favourites but will it

CHASING FOUR: Jack Goodhue and Will Jordan 

are part of a star-studded Crusaders back-line 

which looks like the side’s biggest asset in 2020. 

unbeaten during their 

stint in South Africa was 

an anomaly. However, in 

recent years the feat has 

become all too easy for our 

top sides. 

Come play-off time the 

South African sides will 

be the biggest threat to 

any New Zealand sides. 

The Lions contested three 

consecutive finals between 

2016 and 2018, but last year 

under the pool’s structure, 

the Jaguares were able to 

top the African pool with 

their South American flair. 

However, if their Super 

Rugby sides can ride the 

wave of reassurance in 

South African rugby on 

the back of their World 

Cup win the South African 

conference could be back 

to its best. 

As for the Australian 

conference, it would be 

nice to see old time foes 

like the Brumbies, Reds 

and Waratahs return to 

contention. 

However, nothing over 

the last 12 months would 

suggest they’re ready to 

make the jump just yet. 

Yes, the Brumbies 

finished third last year, 

but that was courtesy of 

sweeping aside a very poor 

Australian conference. 

Let’s hope it’s not the same 

in 2020.

NEWS 

in brief 

Three tennis titles for 

veteran Meredith 

Cashmere tennis player Dave 

Meredith completed a clean 

sweep at the New Zealand 

Seniors 2020 National 

Championships. Yesterday, 

Meredith won the 70 and over 

men’s single title in Hamilton by 

defeating Erwin Notter 6-2, 6-3. 

Earlier in the week Meredith 

teamed up with Max Morrison 

to win the men’s doubles title. 

He also won the mixed doubles 

title with Victoria Kerrison. 

Meredith is best known for his 

35-year career in cue sports, 

which included four snooker 

and a record 15 national 

billiards titles. 

Straight set tournament 

win for Heap 

Waimairi tennis player Connor 

Heap won the Kiwi Money 

Tournament at Wilding Park 

at the weekend. The No 1 seed 

didn’t drop a set en route to the 

title, defeating Auckland’s James 

McPherson 6-3, 6-1 in the final. 

Two Canty players in 

NZ A squad 

Canterbury batsman and parttime 

spinner Cole McConchie 

and pace bowler Ed Nuttal are 

in the New Zealand A squad to 

play India A in a four-day match 

at Halgey Oval starting today. 

McConchie – the Canterbury 

captain – was part of the NZ A 

side which defeated India A 2-1 

in a recent 50-over series. 

Kay wins Otago 

strokeplay event 

Nic Kay shot rounds of 69, 

70 and 68 to win the Otago 

Strokeplay title at Otago 

Golf Club on Sunday. The 

Christchurch member finished 

three shots clear of Allan 

Grange’s Kayne Wardell. The 

women’s event was a close 

contest with Sumin Kang, of 

Wakatipu, snatching the win 

in an extra hole play-off over 

Russley’s Maddie May. 

US scholarship for 

basketballer 

Basketballer Tom Webley is 

heading to the United States 

after receiving a scholarship to 

play at University of Hartford in 

Connecticut. The 209cm centre 

was a major contributor to 

Cashmere High School earning 

fourth at last year’s national 

secondary tournament – their 

best ever finish. The 18-year-old 

averaged more than 30 points a 

game at the tournament. 

Dragons look for form 

at home 

The Canterbury United Dragons 

will hope to end a three-match 

losing streak when they return 

to English Park to face Waitakere 

United on Sunday. The Dragons 

have slumped to the bottom 

of the national league table 

following a 1-2 loss to Southern 

United in Dunedin at the 

weekend. The match at English 

Park kicks off at 4pm. 


JUST DAYS OUT from the 

beginning of the Crusaders 

bid for a record fourth straight 

Super Rugby title, coach Scott 

Robertson still has time for 

something at the grass roots 

which makes him tick. 

Robertson might be one of the 

biggest names in World Rugby, 

but outside of the day-to-day 

running of the Crusaders it’s the 

progression of his local Sumner 

colts side playing on the back of 

his mind. 

This comes to fruition on Tuesday 

and Thursday evenings when 

Robertson finishes his day with 

the Crusaders at Rugby Park and 

heads to colts training to help 

the Sumner teenagers as what he 

describes as a technical adviser 

role for the team. 

“I’m just giving back,” said 

Robertson. 

In the past Sumner have tried, 

but failed to establish and maintain 

a colts side – which is crucial 

for the development of players 

out of secondary school before 

moving to premier grade. 

Robertson had the same pathway 

to achieve his dreams as a 

teen at the Mt Maunganui club 

before moving south. He now 

hopes Sumner will be able to 

offer the same opportunity for its 

local players. 

“That’s what I would like, the 

opportunity for one of the local 

boys from Sumner to have what 

I had and be given a pathway to 

achieve what they can and play 

for Canterbury, Crusaders and 

the All Blacks.” 

Robertson – a life member at 

Sumner – says the emergence of 

the Storm colts team this year is 

a massive step for the club. 

“Colts grade is tough. We 

know the participation rates in 

rugby is an area that needs attention 

and it’s a real challenge 

for us. 

“Being involved is just what 

anyone would do for their club, 

just to keep to connected with 

the young players because we 

know how important they are for 

our game,” said Robertson. 

It’s easy to see that Sumner has 

a special place in Robertson’s 

heart. He has lived in the seaside 

community for 20 years and 

began his coaching career with 

the club. He was a player coach 

for the club’s top side and after 

undefeated division 2 campaigns 

in 2008 and 2009 they gained 

promotion to the premier 

competition for the first time 

in 2010. He coached the side to 

a debut 6th-place finish, before 

concentrating on his role with 

Canterbury at the time. 

His passion for the colts team 

has already rubbed off on some 

of its players. First-five Ollie 

Lewis played his junior rugby 

at Sumner and now after five 

years at Christchurch Boys’ 


Razor giving Sumner 

grass roots rugby an edge 

TALENT: Ollie Lewis will steer the Sumner Storm backline 

after a standout season at Christchurch Boys’ High School 

in 2019. 

High School – which included 

playing for New Zealand Schools 

last year – is returning to his 

boyhood club with the Storm. 

“We just had a little gettogether 

the other week and he 

was really passionate. I think all 

the boys thought, hang on this is 

something else. It’s pretty cool to 

have him come along and show 

how much passion he has for the 

club,” said Lewis. 

“I don’t think too many clubs 

have a Super Rugby coach 

coming down to training.” 

The 18-year-old was part of 

a very strong junior side also 

called the Storm several years 

ago. 

Lewis says the side spent four 

years together and could count 

the amount of losses they had 

on one hand. The boys then 

departed for secondary school 

and many eventually played first 

XV rugby. 

However, five years ago 

somewhat of a pact was made to 

regroup in 2020 and get a colts 

team running. 

“We always wanted to come 

back and play for Sumner,” said 

Lewis. 

The side is coached by Gareth 

D’Almeida who was a player 

under Robertson’s reign with the 

club’s premier side. 

“It’s been a long time in the 

making,” said D’Almeida. 

‘Grass roots rugby is the lifeblood of communities and 

the spirit of our nation’ 

– Scott Robertson 

“There’s a good core group of 

them that played junior rugby 

together for Sumner. They would 

have been eight or nine. They’ve 

had Storm 2020 gear for the last 

three years. That’s always been to 

finish school and aim for 2020. 

“If you don’t have colts, you 

don’t have a pathway. They go 

to first XV, but where do they 

go from there. If you’re a sharp 

half-back or first-five you might 

go straight to div one, but ideally 

they want to play premier colts 

for a year and go from there.” 

CLUB MAN: 

Robertson has 

been helping 

coach the 

Sumner colts 

side on Tuesday 

and Thursday 

evenings (left). 

In recent years 

he has built 

a reputation 

as one of the 

globe’s top 

rugby coaches 

after winning 

three straight 

Super Rugby 

titles with the 

Crusaders 

(below). 

D’Almeida says that Robertson 

has played a key role in establishing 

the colts side and believes his 

presence at training is a massive 

boost for the players. 

“Razor’s been involved with 

that right through the years as 

well. He’s certainly there to help 

. . . he’s just keen to see it get off 

the ground,” said D’Almeida. 

“If you’re a budding young 

rugby player and you’ve got the 

Crusaders head coach cruising 

around, it’s absolutely a big 

drawcard and equally he could 

have been the All Blacks coach.” 

Robertson says his involvement 

with Sumner is just one 

aspect to his values of wanting 

to give back to grass roots rugby 

which he fondly remembers 

growing up. He also expressed 

he has and open door policy for 

coaches from club rugby to come 

into the Crusaders and up-skill. 

“Grass roots rugby is the 

lifeblood of communities and the 

spirit of our nation, so everyone’s 

got their little part to play,” said 

Robertson. 

“I think it’s key that everyone 

has a role in their club. I just see 

the role in my club as connecting 

people and to get people to 

continue their love for rugby.”

Skope Classic to feature 

replica V8-powered Cortina 


IN 1973 Clyde Collins drove his 

V8-powered Ford Cortina to win 

the OSCA championship. 

THis weekend Clyde will watch 

a replica of the same car, he and 

his son Adam have built, race at 

OSCA’s 50th-anniversary event 

at Ruapuna. 

The OSCA 50th-celebration is 

part of the Skope Classic meeting 

this weekend where the Collins’ 

car will be driven by Adam. 

The decision to create a replica 

of the championship-winning 

Cortina has been a special 

experience for Clyde and Adam 

– who has been through a turbulent 

time. 

Adam’s daughter Maddie 

was diagnosed with nephrotic 

syndrome, a kidney disease, in 

2008, and has since received 

two different kidneys. In 2012, a 

kidney donated from Adam was 

rejected by her body. Maddie’s 

current kidney was donated in 

January last year. 

Clyde, who turns 79 tomorrow, 

says the project has been 

instrumental in giving his son 

something else to focus on during 

that challenging time. 

“Adam was in a pretty bad 

spot with the situation going 

on over a period of eight years 

and I thought it would be good 

for him to be involved in this 

project to help him through the 

situation, and it’s done that,” said 

Clyde. 

“He has got the passion and it 

helped him get out of a very grey 

spot a couple of years back.” 

The car racing this weekend is 

almost identical to the original 

Cortina which ran a 5-litre 

Chevrolet engine taken from 

and old formula 5000 belonging 

to Australian racer Warwick 

Brown. 

Clyde remembers the early 

days of the Open Saloon Car Association 

fondly. He and many 

others had been racing in the 

national open saloon class. 

However, the class was 

scrapped by Motorsport New 

Zealand, leaving many drivers 

who had invested in cars without 

a class to compete in. 

“There were a lot of open 

saloon cars which were left 

redundant . . . so I, Ron McPhail, 

Trevor Crowe and a few others 

got together and set up OSCA 

to allow those redundant cars to 

race,” said Clyde. 

“It was a lot of enthusiasts with 

a passion for racing. It allowed 

you to build your own car and 

compete in it on a reasonable 

budget.” 

Now, 50 years on the class is 

still going strong albeit with a 

different look. However, this 

weekend’s annual Skope Classic 

meeting at Ruapuna will see the 

best of the class from the 1970s 

and 1980s celebrated. 

“The whole structure of the 

class has changed because the 

new drivers coming into it are 

heavily into Japanese smaller 

engines with turbochargers. 

They’ve got them going really 

well . . . but what made the class 

so popular back in the day is 

that they were all V8s. Everyone 

wanted to come and see V8s,” 

said Clyde. 

“It’s good to see that the class 

is coming back again with a new 

breed of driver and a new breed 

of car, but with the same level of 

passion.” 

The OSCA celebration will 

also see the return of one of the 

classes most dominant cars – the 

first of two Trevor Crowe-built 

V8-powered Toyota Starlets 

which won the national title in 

1981, 82, 84 and the 1985 Ashley 

Forest Rallysprint. 

The Starlet will be raced by 

current owner Richard Quinn. 

However, a reunion with its 

original owner could be on the 

cards.

Skoda Kodiaq RS draws on rally heritage 

THERE’S NO denying sport 

utility vehicles are the cars of 

choice for today’s buyer. Sales 

figures globally are heavily biased 

in that direction. 

The choice is overwhelming, 

especially in the mid-size 

sector. If family or recreational 

requirements facilitate the 

need for an SUV, but you want 

something just a little bit different 

in your purchase – something 

biased towards sporty – then 

Skoda has the car for you, the 

Kodiaq RS. 

The Kodiaq has been with 

us for a year or two now, and it 

lands here in three variants, an 

entry-level model at $41,990, a 

high-grade Sportline at $64,990, 

and just recently an RS model has 

joined the ranks. The RS sits at 

$72,990 and is characterised by its 

flashy looks, inside and out, and 

high power driveline. 

Herein lies a secret. Under 

the bonnet sits a 2-litre diesel 

engine, and while you wouldn’t 

ordinarily expect diesel to be 

the basis for performance, you 

have to remember that Skoda, 

in the past has had many sports 

models with diesel engines, and 

I can report that is a concept the 

company does very well, even in 

motorsport. 

In the Kodiaq, the 

turbocharged four-cylinder unit 

pumps out 176kW and a feisty 

500Nm at the bottom end. The 

latter is the ingredient that makes 

the RS so special, not only is the 

specific output high, maximum 

torque is available from 1750rpm 

to 2500rpm, which is the area 

where the engine wants to 

constantly work. 

As a result, there is dynamic 

engine performance, midrange 

boost will offer a 4.2sec 

overtaking time (80-120km/h), 

and an off-the-mark time of 

7sec to make 100km/h from a 

standstill. 

Even if you aren’t in a hurry, 

there is a constant willingness 

from the engine that tantalises 

the driver, and if you take into 

account there is manufactured 

exhaust sound which throbs 

constantly, the RS is hard to drive 

without wanting to give it some 

freedom. 

There are several drive modes, 

and depending on which is 

activated the exhaust sound can 

be encouraged or left in a more 

subtle tone. The Kodiaq is also 

a pretty useful off-roader, there 

are modes which channel power 

more usefully through the fourwheel-drive 

platform. 

There is also another element 

which adds spice to the

the RS feels well attached to the 

road, it is dynamic and forceful 

when asked to respond. 

This is all from a car which 

has a vastly different role to play 

as well, it is the quintessential 

mid-size seven-seater that also 

looks after its occupants in terms 

of fitment and specification and 

safety. At $73k it needs to be well 

appointed, and I can report it 

leaves little to chance. 

It also has fuel economy on its 

side, Skoda claims a combined 

cycle average of 7.7-litres per 

100km (36mpg). 

It takes a very special car to 

win the New Zealand Motoring 

Writer’s Guild Car of the Year 

Award and the Kodiaq took 

honours for 2017. 

Obviously, that recognition 

speaks for itself, the RS adds 

another ingredient into the 

equation, it certainly captured my 

attention with its performance, 

economy yet practicality all 

thrown in for good measure.

Knowing what could happen if 

you can’t complete a sale 

Life can sometimes take an unexpected turn when you’re 

buying a house. Knowing what could happen to your 

deposit and sale and purchase agreement if your circumstances 

suddenly change and you are unable to complete 

the deal will leave you in a much stronger position. 

“There are many “what-ifs” to consider when buying a 

home and I urge you to talk through your concerns with 

your lawyer or conveyancer as soon as your circumstances 

change,” says Real Estate Authority (REA) chief executive, 

Kevin Lampen-Smith. 

“A sale and purchase agreement is a legally binding 

contract between you and the seller, which becomes 

unconditional once the allocated time for meeting your 

conditions has been reached,” says Lampen-Smith. 

“Once the agreement for sale and purchase becomes 

unconditional, then you not only don’t get your deposit 

back, but also face the likelihood of having to purchase 

the property – even if you can’t afford to – or having to 

cancel the agreement and be sued for any loss the seller 

suffers as a result of you failing to settle the sale. So, if your 

circumstances suddenly change, you’ll need to speak to 

your lawyer as soon as possible.” 

Getting finances sorted to buy a property isn’t easy, but 

understanding the different deposits when you buy a 

house can help. There are two different kinds of deposits 

– the deposit you pay when you make an offer and your 

bank deposit. 

A buyer will usually be required to pay a deposit when 

the sale and purchase agreement is signed by both parties. 

The deposit paid is often about 10 per cent of the total 

price you are offering – you can negotiate a different rate 

if you need to – and is usually held in a trust account 

by the real estate agent. The real estate agent takes their 

commission fee out of this amount when the agreement 

becomes unconditional and the remaining balance goes 

to the seller. 

When you arrange a home loan with a bank, you must 

have a certain amount of funds to use as a deposit – your 

bank deposit. This deposit will more than likely be different 

from the amount your sale and purchase agreement

states that you must pay the seller. For example, your 

bank may need you to have 20 per cent of the purchase 

price available as a bank deposit in order to secure your 

mortgage, even if you only have to pay the seller a 10 per 

cent deposit. 

“When drawing up a sale and purchase agreement, you 

can include conditions of the sale, such as a title search, 

valuation, LIM report, obtaining finance, obtaining insurance 

and builder’s inspection,” Lampen-Smith says. 

“Including conditions can really help – you can even 

negotiate your sale and purchase deposit.” 

“If you find that you need extra time to complete any 

conditions of the purchase, you must speak to your lawyer 

or conveyancer immediately. They will negotiate with the 

seller through their real estate agent or lawyer or conveyancer,” 

Lampen-Smith says. 

“Any changes to the conditions will need to be added 

to the sale and purchase agreement and signed off by you 

and the seller. If your conditions are not able to be met, eg, 

the building fails the property inspection, then you may be 

able to cancel the agreement and then your deposit will be 

refunded to you.” 

“It’s very important that you speak to a lawyer before 

finalising your offer conditions so that they adequately 

protect you if something that you find out about the 

property during the conditional period is not to your 

satisfaction,” Lampen-Smith says. 

“There is potential that defaulting on a sale, because of 

finances, could affect future borrowing. Talk this through 

with your lawyer and it would also be wise to seek advice 

from a qualified financial adviser. A financial adviser may 

also be able to talk you through the pros and cons of income 

protection insurance for situations such as sickness, 

disability, unemployment and death.” 

“In life, there are so many things we cannot be sure of, 

but it’s always worth doing your homework and seeking 

solid professional advice when purchasing a home.”

John’s latest 

single carries 

a strong 

environmental 

message 

KIWI Country music recording artist, 

John McCabe has just released another 

single and this one carries a strong 

environmental message. It’s called 

‘Aotearoa I Love You’ and written about 

concerns about our water quality. 

Affectionately known as the Kiwi with 

the “golden voice”, John McCabe was 

born and raised in Oamaru and has been 

performing since he was 12 years old. 

John departed for Canada in 1981 and 

quickly gained recognition touring with 

his live band through several states of the 

USA and Canada. 

Returning to New Zealand some 13 

years ago, John has been in demand, 

performing regularly at Clubs, events and 

private functions. 

He has an impressive catalogue of 

material with several more original 

releases pending. Many of his songs have 

been recorded in Nashville using 

some of the very best record 

producers and studios. 

Under his own recording label, 

Airedale Records Limited, his 

songs are released in 243 different 

territories world-wide which 

includes radio station and music 

download sites. 

John appears at the Hornby 

Club this Saturday night from 

7.30pm.
