Darryl’s fight to the end
Plastering
job takes
its toll
on lungs
• By Barry Clarke
WELL-KNOWN Canterbury
sports figure Darryl Hawker had
hoped to get one more week to
prove his body wrong.
But yesterday morning, doctors
at Christchurch Hospital told him
and partner Rose Williams, his
lungs had effectively given up.
There was no more hope.
He was put on a morphine
pump to ease the pain he had been
enduring.
“It will let him pass away without
pain,” Rose told The Star yesterday
afternoon.
“It’s very, very sad.”
Hawker, 64, suffered from hypersensitivity
pneumonitis, an inflammation
of the air spaces within the
lung caused by hypersensitivity to
inhaled organic dusts.
He says it was caused by years
working as a plasterer.
On Tuesday night, Hawker had
convinced his doctors not to start
the morphine pump which would
signal the end.

works as a psychiatrist, helping
people struggling with mental
health.
At night she transforms into
her onstage persona, Jo Ghastly,
a comedian developed from how
she imagines her children view
her, as embarrassing, clueless
and thinking she is cool.
Prendergast, 51, only took
up comedy three years ago and
during that time has become one
of Christchurch’s most accomplished
performers.
“I have been a performer since
I was a child but decided to go to
medical school rather than drama
school. A comedy producer
suggested I try stand-up comedy
when I was acting in a TV show
pilot a few years ago,” she said.
“I like a challenge so I gave it
a go and haven’t stopped since.
It’s an amazing feeling to have
a room of people having a great
time and laughing at your jokes.”
During lockdown she finished
writing her debut solo show
The Cool Mum, which she will
perform tomorrow night at Little
Andromeda Theatre in the
central city.
Women’s Refuge will receive
25 per cent of the ticket sales for
the show.

The show is a parody of a
celebrity parenting seminar
focusing on her own parenting
experiences.
“My teenagers both perform
in some video clip skits in the
show, along with some of their
friends. My kids and other young
people seem to particularly enjoy
my comedy as it’s very relatable
to them. If my 16-year-old son
smirks at a joke, I know I’ve hit
solid gold.
“My comedy mainly focuses
on parenting challenges and
observations of life. Most of the
content is light-hearted jokes but
there are some truthful, takehome
messages about parenting
and life in the show.”
There will also be a donation
bucket after the show.

‘No, no I’m fighting. Give me a chance’
• From page 1
“He asked for another week.
He’s trying to fight. That’s Darryl.
But his lungs are absolutely
buggered,” Rose told The Star on
Tuesday night.
“We’re hoping something
might pop up. Miracles do happen,”
she said.
On Monday, Hawker was
told by doctors they had done
everything they could for him
and the outlook was grim in the
extreme.
Said Rose: “Basically he is suffocating
alive. His lungs are like
a drying sponge.”
But Hawker refused to accept
what the doctors had to say.
“No, no I’m fighting. Give me
a chance. Don’t give up on me.
I’m fighting,” he told them.
But yesterday morning
brought the inevitable. There
would be no miracle. Hawker’s
condition had deteriorated, the
scarred lungs had had enough.
Hawker was a top rugby
league player in his day, a champion
amateur wrestler and lawn
bowler and Canterbury bowls
selector.
He was part of the grand
final-winning Halswell league
sides during the 1980s and later
became a top referee. He was an
uncompromising defender and
great team man during a great
era of club league in Canterbury.
He was in a four which was
third equal twice at a New Zealand
bowls championships, he
got to the last eight once in the
pairs and claimed two national
bowls titles as a coach. He was
also a Canterbury selector.
But was most satisfying for
Hawker was giving back to
sport.
“Looking after the school kids
and teaching them,” he told The
Star.
Said Rose: “The game was
very good to him and he always
wanted to put back into the
game.”
He was a rugby league match
manager, which meant getting
up early to ready the fields for
matches.
The first hint something was
wrong with his lungs came three
years ago when returned from a
trip to Hong Kong. Hawker put
it down to something he had
picked up on the plane.
“Darryl being Darryl” he
didn’t go to the doctor.
HEY DAY:
The Halswell
premier team
which won
the 1985 Pat
Smith Trophy
grand final.
Darryl Hawker
is circled.
Right -
Hawker in
2008.
“He couldn’t get rid of the
cough. You could see he was getting
breathless playing bowls,”
said Rose.
He got progressively worse and
it became apparent he would
need a lung transplant. He was
put on steroids and blood thinners.
The lung transplant would
never come.
He and Rose were also battling
the Accident Compensation
Corporation.
His specialist told him in
mid-March he needed to stop
working as his oxygen levels
were too low.
But ACC refused to accept his
claim, in spite of medical advice
and Hawker’s employer saying
he could not work.
In late March, ACC made a
final decision his claim would
not be accepted.
This week as Hawker lay in
his hospital bed another letter
arrived at his home from ACC,
reinforcing its earlier decision.
Said Rose: “Darryl feels like
he has been kicked in the guts,
they’ve (ACC) put him in the too
hard basket. He said: ‘They don’t
seem to care if I die’.
“He’s paid his taxes, paid his
levies, never been on a benefit.”

Heartfelt speech
Darryl Hawker made an appearance at his Halswell
Bowls Club prizegiving on June 20. Friend and fellow
bowler Ron Matheson read out this speech in his behalf
The reason we won three titles this season is not
because we were not the best team. You can have the
four best bowlers in the the club playing with each
other and most times you will win.
But if you are not compatible on and off the green
then you will struggle.
You need to work together, and this showed for us this
season.
At times we have all struggled, but we talked to each
other and offered encouragement to play the shoot.
We have worked the same with the Canterbury men’s
team and that is why we have won two intercentre titles
and a runner-up in the last four years.
There are a lot of new exciting bowlers that have
joined the club this season, think about them when you
are picking your team for the new season.
Winning club champs is great, but if you can help a
new bowler to achieve then you are a winner to.
For me personally I get a lot of reward by helping
others achieve their goals, this can be the greatest
reward.

PART OF the new $16m
Redcliffs School has been built in
breach of a condition set out in
the District Plan.
The Beachville Rd campus reopened
last Monday after a nineyear-long
journey to rebuild the
school, which was demolished
at its former Main Rd site following
the February 22, 2011,
earthquake.
But behind the scenes, there
have been issues over a breach of
boundary conditions, a report
has revealed.
Under the District Plan, a
rule states no part of a building
should project beyond a building
envelope contained by a recession
plane.
It is to prevent effects on
adjoining properties, and
in this case, the building’s
height has proven impacts
on daylight and sunlight
into the section at 19 Main
Rd.
Friends of Redcliffs Park
spokesman Chris Doudney,
who was strongly
opposed to the new school being
built at the Beachville Rd site,
has read the report identifying
the breach.
He said the breach “really
confirms what an unsuitable
site” Redcliffs Park was for a new
school.
Mr Doudney petitioned for the
school to be built at the former
site in 2018 but was unsuccessful.
Minister of Education Chris
Hipkins has applied to “regularise”
the breach, which will be
heard by the Resource
Management Act Hearings
Panel tomorrow.
The owner of 19 Main
Rd, an empty section
neighbouring the school,
complained to the city
council about the height
of the building last year.
A city council spokesperson
said it was then identified
the recession plane angle was
incorrectly drawn on plans by
Tennent Brown Architects following
a review of the consent
documentation in October.
“There have been ongoing discussions
between the architect

and the neighbours which didn’t
resolve the matter. Subsequently,
an application was made to alter
the designation.”
“If the application is declined,
there is a right of appeal to
the Environment Court.
Alternatively, the southern
part of the building could be
modified.”
Ministry of Education’s head
of education infrastructure service
Kim Shannon said when the
breach was discovered, the main
superstructure of the building
had already been built.
She said the ministry received
expert advice the breach was
likely to have only a minor effect
on the vacant section.
A Tennent Brown Architects
spokesperson said it is “not in a
position to comment with the
hearing pending.”

Borrowing
boost for
council
THE CITY council has received a
significant boost as it battles with
the financial fall out from Covid-19.
The Local Government Funding
Agency which finances council’s
across the country has increased
the amount which local authorities
can borrow.
This will allow the city council
to increase its debt in order to
make up for lost revenue incurred
from the Covid-19 crisis.
The agreement means councils,
like the Christchurch City Council,
with a long-term credit rating
of “A” or higher can increase their
borrowing ratio of 250 per cent
net debt to revenue to 300 per cent
until 2022.
The pandemic left the city
council with a $99 million
revenue shortfall.
The city council is already
planning to borrow $102 million
over the coming years in its draft
Annual Plan as it braces itself for
a series of reduced dividends from
its trading company Christchurch
City Holdings Ltd.
It is proposing to borrow $33
million to cover the predicted
loss of dividend and also revenue
in the previous financial year.
A further $47 million for the
current year and an additional
$22 million in the next.

LOUD PREACHING through
a microphone, chanting, singing
and drumming into the early
hours of the morning.
This has been the reality for
Rona Clayton and her neighbours,
who live in a block of
units next door to Light of all
Nations church on Tankerville
Rd, Hoon Hay.
The church is on the former
Hoon Hay Club site.
Mrs Clayton said nothing has
been done to stop the noise from
the church in spite of her and
her neighbours complaining to
the city council about 20 times
combined, asking the church’s
landlord Marilyn Paston to
address the issue and sending
a petition with 16 signatures to
Wigram MP Megan Woods.
A spokeswoman for Dr Woods
said the petition has been
received and she is aware of the
neighbours’ concerns.
The city council was unable to
provide details on the number of
noise complaints the church has
received in time yesterday.
Light of all Nations senior
apostle Peter Emadi could not be
reached for comment.
Two gatherings were held at
the church at the start of lockdown
and police were called to
the second gathering and broke
it up after one of Mrs Clayton’s

Said Mrs Clayton: “I want to

“You’re entitled to a first warning,
a second warning, but a
third, no.”
She said on any day of the
week, particularly Fridays and
weekends, noise can start in the
morning or in the evening and
not finish until after midnight.
“I usually go to bed about
midnight and that’s when, if I’m
there [home], I hear that,” she
said.
On August 10 last year, she
said the noise did not stop until
2am.
As for her neighbours who live

BOREDOM, relaxation and
stress are the key reasons
drinking has increased during
the Covid-19 pandemic.
A survey has revealed 24 per
cent of 25 to 49-year-olds have
been drinking
more than
usual since
alert level 4
began, with
the highest
proportion of
daily drinkers
being those
aged over 65.
This is why
the Christchurch
Alcohol
Action Plan has been created by
the Canterbury District Health
Board, police and the city council.
The plan will focus on reducing
alcohol harm across the
community.
A CDHB spokesperson said
more New Zealanders have
reported daily drinking since the
lockdown.
“One-in-five survey participants
reported experiencing
harm due to someone else’s
drinking while in lockdown,” the
said.
Christchurch clinical psychologist
Simon Adamson said
he has spoken to people who
were drinking more as a result of
stress created by the pandemic.
“More often, I was aware
that there were people who

Zoom parties and that sort of
thing,” he said.
However, Dr Adamson said
since alert level 4 began, the
number of patients he has spoken
to struggling with drinking
problems has not increased compared
to pre-Covid-19 levels.
He supports the CAAP.
“I think any public health
activity that addresses alcoholrelated
harm is welcome. We
have a substantial drinking
problem within New Zealand
culture.”
CAAP is co-funded by the
Health Promotion Agency and
will target non-regulated drinking
environments and work with
a range of organisations and
groups to do so.
Said CAAP’s co-ordinator
Hayley Edgerton: “While some
members of the community
reported a reduction in alcohol
use during lockdown, according
to an HPA study one in five individuals
reported increased levels
of alcohol use – often with the
justification that it helped them
to relax or switch off.
“There is real concern that
these behaviours will continue
or increase – especially with
post-lockdown easier access to
alcohol and its accepted status as
a drug of choice for many,” she
said.
Just after the lockdown started
in late March, there were 72 family
harm events, a big spike from
the about 30 reported to police
on an average day.
The number of events dropped
to 42 the next day and has
remained at about this number
since.
Said Detective Senior Sergeant
Neville Jenkins: “What we do
know is that [in] a high proportion
of the family harm events
alcohol is a factor.”
He said this has been the
case throughout the Covid-19
pandemic.

921 union
submissions
call for zero per
cent rates rise
• By Louis Day
MORE THAN 900 submissions
calling for a zero per cent rates
rise have been sent to the city
council.
The New Zealand Taxpayers’
Union handed a total of 1371
responses it received from its
own consultation with ratepayers
to the city council regarding its
proposed overall rates increase of
3.5 per cent.
Sixty-seven per cent of respondents
to the union’s consultation
document stated they wanted
a zero per cent rates increase,
which amounted to a total of
921 submissions. Two per cent of
respondents to the union wanted
to see a rates rise.
City council did not submit
a zero per cent rates increase as
a preferred option in this year’s
draft Annual Plan.
City council staff have stated the
$122 million in savings needed
to achieve no rise in rates would
have “severe impacts” on council
services and lead to an “unprecedented
level of staff redundancy.”
Consultation on the draft
Annual Plan closed on Monday
and councillors will sign off on
a final plan by the end of this
month.

Witness: Keep gunman interview private
THE ROYAL Commission into
the events leading up to the
shooting dead of 51 Muslim
worshippers has revealed it has
talked to the gunman, leading to
calls by some for the interview to
be released for all to see.
A witness to the March 15
mosque attacks says an interview
with the shooter should not be
made public.
Yama Nabi was running late
for prayers on March 15 and
avoided the gunman’s bullets, but
he witnessed
the horrific
aftermath at
the Al Noor
mosque where
his father Haji-
Daoud Nabi
was one of the
Yama Nabi
first to be shot.
He believed
victims and
their families should definitely
be shown the interview with the
man responsible, but not the general
public, as there was too great
a risk that others may be inspired
by his words.
“We don’t want any harm to
come to any countries anywhere
you’re from, Hindu, Muslim,
Jewish. You know, we don’t want
these things happening around
the world.”
It was important when the
commission released its findings,
LESSONS: A witness to the March 15 mosque shootings has disagreed with calls to make
footage the gunman’s interview public.
PHOTO: GETTY
that lessons were learned that
prevented the same thing happening
again, he said.
“If somebody is applying for
a firearms licence, they should
not make the mistake again. You
always ask them the question:
‘What’s the reason you’re applying
for a firearm?’ If it’s [for]
hunting that’s a different story.
There should be a certain amount
of ammunition, not like give
them well over 1000 rounds.”
Muslim Association of Canterbury
general secretary Feroze
Ditta survived the Al Noor attack
after becoming trapped under a
pile of bodies.
He still carries shrapnel from
the gunman’s bullets in his leg.
Unlike Yama Nabi, he did
think the interview should be
made public at the same time as
the findings were released.
“It would be nice to know what
motivated him. Why, you know,
he did this and who was behind it
and just get to the bottom of what
actually happened and how he
managed to execute this.”
Another member of the
Christchurch muslim community,
Tony Green, agreed the interview
should be shared widely.
Otherwise we risked repeating
the mistakes of the past, he said.
“Just as we look at the genesis
of the Black Lives Matter movement
in the States, the genesis of
this goes back a long, long time.
There was the feeling that New
Zealand lived this somewhat
charmed existence, and that
therefore these distant things
could not impact on us and yet
these distant hatreds did come
here and impacted seriously.”
Strategic analyst and former
US Defence Department adviser,
Paul Buchanan, was among those
interviewed by the commission.
He said there was no way an
unedited version of the interview
would be released and that a
greater danger was that the
commission failed to hold the
police and security services to
account.
The shooter’s late guilty plea
meant there was a higher chance
of this happening, he said.
“What that did is it removed
the court. It removed the ability
to put, let’s say, for example, the
police officers under oath to ask
them what was done and not
done in the lead-up to this. His
defence attorneys won’t have the
opportunity to cross examine
members of the intelligence
community as well as the police.”
The commission’s findings
were due at the end of July.
The Muslim community in
Christchurch was hoping they
would shed some light on an act
many were still struggling to
come to terms with. – RNZ

Swiggs not ruling out return
• By Louis Day
EMBATTLED former city
councillor Deon Swiggs has not
ruled out a return to local body
politics following a potential
route to re-election opening up.
Sally Buck announced her resignation
from the Linwood-Central-
Heathcote Community Board due
to ill health at
the start of this
week.
A by-election
to fill the
vacancy she has
left as a community
board
Jake
McLellan
member on the
board will now
be held later
this year and is estimated to cost
between $60,000 and $50,000.
Mr Swiggs, who was ousted in
last year’s local body elections
following allegations of sending
“grossly inappropriate” messages
to youths, told The Star he had
not ruled out running for the vacant
community board member
seat around the table he used to
occupy as a councillor.
“I would never rule anything
out, but as I have said I have not
thought too much about it,” he
said.
Mr Swiggs lost his Central

Jake McLellan by 1188 votes

inappropriate messages to them.
Supporters of Mr Swiggs
lodged a petition in the district
court arguing the allegations
were released by the Canterbury
Youth Worker’s Collective in
order to sabotage his campaign.
They also argued Cr McLellan’s
campaign team had orchestrated
the allegations made against Mr
Swiggs, alleging Cr McLellan and
his team had a hand in the allegations
being leaked to media which
appeared in The Press on September
20, the same day voting papers
were sent out.
However, the accusation
against Cr McLellan and his
campaign team was dropped
during the closing submissions
of the trial. Judge Paul Kellar
also ruled there was insufficient
evidence to prove the accusations
against the Canterbury Youth
Worker’s Collective.
Mr Swiggs refused to comment
on the prospect of having to
sit on the same board as Cr
McLellan should he be elected to
fill Ms Buck’s seat.
“I’m not going to go into that.”
Cr McLellan said he had
no issues with the prospect of
potentially sharing a community
board table with Mr Swiggs.
“Well it’s democracy, I have no
animosity or hard feelings to Mr
Swiggs whatsoever and if he is
elected, he is elected,” he said.

Brave Lachie loses
long cancer battle
Lachie Sutherland
CHRISTCHURCH boy Lachie
Sutherland has lost his battle
with cancer.
The 12-year-old died at Nurse
Maude Hospice on Tuesday
after his second fight against
neuroblastoma, a rare form of
the disease which develops in
infants and young children.
A post to the family’s Facebook
page, TouchPauseEngage,
read: “It is with a heavy heart
that we post this evening to
share the news that Lachie
passed away. We are heartbroken
for our loss but deeply relieved
that Lachie is no longer suffering.”
Lachie was first diagnosed in
January 2012 and he flew to Sydney,
aged four, to receive MIGD
therapy.
His father, Chris Sutherland,
died from metastatic melanoma
in 2013, after being diagnosed a
month earlier.
Six years on, Lachie relapsed
with neuroblastoma in August
after showing no evidence of the
disease since 2013.
He spent the past five months
undergoing eight rounds of
chemotherapy and seven cycles
of immunotherapy and radiation.
Major fundraising was done
earlier this year to afford selffunded
MIGD therapy in Sydney,
which Lachie was scheduled
to receive in March.
However, he could not
undergo the treatment due to
travel impacts caused by the
Covid-19 pandemic.

Hosking no embarrassment
• By Louis Day
LINWOOD COLLEGE is not
embarrassed to have Mike
Hosking as one of its alumni.
This comes after former Mayor
Garry Moore said the high
school should be embarrassed to
have the broadcaster as one of its
graduates.
In Mr
Moore’s
newsletter for
his weekly
Tuesday Club,
a forum to
discuss local
issues, he
criticised
Garry Moore
the media
for how it
has “twisted and turned” over
whether the country should
reopen its borders and singled
out Hosking.
“They [the media] were
screaming out for weeks that
borders should be opened
up. Then when two women
highlighted how vulnerable we
are if we are complacent the
media then screamed out in the
opposite direction. The worst of
them has to be Mike Hosking.
Linwood College should be
embarrassed that he was one of
their graduates,” he wrote.
While Hosking has been
heavily criticised for his general
coverage of the pandemic and
the Government’s response to it,
he has been relatively consistent
on whether or not the country
should reopen its border after
moving to alert level 1.
Even after two women
were let out of quarantine on
compassionate leave who later
tested positive for the virus last
month, Hosking wrote a column
expressing the fault rested
with authorities not properly
screening new arrivals, not with
the concept of reopening the
border.
Yesterday, another column
from Hosking emphasised the
need for a plan to re-open the
border.

Richard Edmundson said the

call Hosking a graduate.
“While we know that Mike is

people that really value listening
to him and we know a lot that
don’t support what he says. I
am just really pleased that we
live in New Zealand where we

Government funding following a

Te Kura Tuarua o Horomaka
Hillmorton High School
Inspiring academic excellence, leadership, and a love of learning
From the Principal
“Role modelling is not the main thing in
influencing others, it is everything” Albert
Schweitzer.
Over the past two weeks I have had the absolute
pleasure of interviewing 30 of our Year 12
students who applied to have their leadership
recognised with a leadership blazer.
These young people impressed me with their
compassion, determination, openness and
their real commitment to ‘service leadership’.
They are all well involved in the wider life of the
school; playing sport, participating in The Arts
and cultural activities, and serving on various
committees. Many talked about how they help
their classmates with their learning in class
through encouragement and participating fully
themselves in all class activities.
Each has set a goal for each subject they take,
and these goals will really stretch them. They are
taking our motto of “Whaia te iti kahurangi’ ‘strive
for the utmost’ or ‘personal best nothing less’
seriously.
Each student has also set an attendance goal of
well over 90% and they have all had a careers
interview.
These students are leading by example, they
are living examples of our school values. Many
began at Hillmorton in Year 7 when just 10 or 11
years old. After 5½ years they have grown into
mature, open, considerate and giving teenagers
from diverse backgrounds. They make me very
proud of our school, our students, our staff and
our families who work alongside us to ensure that
our vision “with our communities, we nurture
well rounded and accomplished young people,
prepared and ready for life” becomes a reality.
Whaia te iti kahurangi, ki te tuohu koe me he
maunga teitei
“Seek that which is most precious, if you should
bow, let it be to a lofty mountain”.
Ann Brokenshire
Principal
International Success
I have been struck many
times over the past few
months how our students
and families have lived and
embodied our school values
of whanaunatanga and
turangawaewae.
With our growing realisation
of the magnitude of the global
pandemic earlier in the year,
many of our 40 international
students had to make a
challenging decision. They had to decide whether they would stay here in New
Zealand, or whether they would catch a flight to their home country before most
commercial flights were suspended indefinitely at the end of March.
Our short-term students who were due to leave all managed to get home, but 30
of our young people from around the world chose to call New Zealand home for
now and stay here with us.
Our host families showed a huge sense of whanaunatanga and cared for our
students during lockdown – we thank them so much for this. By providing a
home for our students, and by being supported by staff at school and within the
wider community, the students truly found turangawaewae – a place to belong
and a place to stand.
While our world has become a little smaller with our international borders
closed, we treasure and value the international students who are living and
studying alongside us.

Darryl Hawker one
heck of a good guy
From the
editor’s desk
Barry Clarke
IT’S WET, COLD and miserable
on Sunday morning as I walk
towards Christchurch Hospital. I
know the situation in a room in
ward 25 will be even bleaker.
Darryl Hawker, 64, is gravely ill
and only has days to live. It has all
happened fairly quickly.
His partner Rose called me on
Friday, saying he was keen to see
me.
She tells me he has a lung
disease caused by his work as a
plasterer. A lung transplant is now
not an option.
I’ve known Darryl since the
mid-80s when he was running
around as a loose forward for the
champion Halswell premier rugby
league side.
It was a great era of club league
with the legendary Halswell-
Hornby grand-finals and Hawker
was usually in the thick of the
action.
After his football career he
became a top line referee, and also
made his name in lawn bowls as a
player, coach and selector.
His background support of
schoolboy rugby league and
mentoring young bowlers over the
years was not headline stuff, but it
has been a major part of Darryl’s
sporting DNA.
I meet Rose and we go into his
room. He has hypersensitivity
pneumonitis, an inflammation of
the airspaces caused by hypersensitivity
to inhaled organic dusts.
He looks up from the chair he is
propped up in, clearly struggling
to breathe.
“Hi mate, it’s good to see ya,” I
say. Asking how he is just doesn’t
seem right.
“Would you like to swap,” he responds,
in his typical no-nonsense
straight to the point way.
“Not really,” I say.
We make some small talk, and
Rose’s cellphone keeps
going off, friends, former
teammates all wanting to
know how he is.
Bowling mate Ron
Matheson and his wife
Margaret have arrived, and
Canterbury Bulls coach
Darrell Coad pops in.
From his chair, Darryl
tries to talk to me, but it is
hard through the oxygen mask
and he takes it off.
A nurse comes in with morphine.
He drinks it quickly to keep
the pain at bay.
Rose says he developed a cough
about three years ago when he
returned from Hong Kong, which
he put down to something he had
picked up on the plane.
“Darryl being Darryl” he didn’t
go to the doctor.
Months later, Rose convinced
him to go to the doctor. It wasn’t
just a cough.
He had never worn a mask during
his 17 of years plastering and
this, she says, is why he is where he
is today.
She and Darryl have been battling
ACC which has refused to
accept his claim as work-related.
Medical evidence suggests differently.
That rankles with him. “He’s
paid his taxes, paid his levies,
never been on a benefit,” says
Rose.
We get back to talking
rugby league.
I ask Darryl what
his most memorable
game was. “The first
grand-final.” Halswell
beat Hornby 17-16 in
that memorable 1985
final, a feat which was
repeated two years later
with another one-point win over
Hornby (15-14), field goals by the
mercurial Phil Bancroft being the
difference between the sides.
“Who were your most respected
teammates?”
“All of them,” he says. I try to
get a little more out of him. “They
were all the same.”
“What about your opponents?”
“They were all hard,” he gets out.
“Who was your most respected
opponent then?”
“Wayne Wallace,” he says
quickly. “A very good footballer.
He could read a game.”
Darryl is starting to run out of
breath.
I ask: “What are your personal
milestones?”

BETTER TIMES: Darryl Hawker with his 1985 grand finalwinning
jersey.

“Looking after the school kids
and teaching them,” he says.
Rose chips in: “The game
(league) to him was very good
and he wanted to put something
back into the game. That has
mattered most to him. He’s been a
match manager for rugby league.
He’d be up at 6am to set up the
fields.”
Darryl mentions he took up
amateur wrestling in his 20s,
winning Canterbury and South
Island titles and finishing third in
a New Zealand championship.
“Now I know when you tackled
someone they stayed pinned on
the ground,” I say.
He smiles from behind the
mask.
It’s getting time to go. How do
you say goodbye.
“We’ll mate I’d better get
going,” I say with a lump in my
throat.
In an instant out comes his
hand. I take it and we shake.
“Been a pleasure,” he muffles.
“See ya mate,’’ I reply and I
disappear.
It’s been great to know a true
servant to Canterbury sport.
•Darryl’s condition deteriorated
rapidly overnight Tuesday. He
was put on more morphine and
doctor’s began to sedate him
yesterday morning.

Tell us about Harrison/Bloy
Harrison/Bloy is a privatelyowned
bathroom, kitchen,
and plumbing business with
five South Island branches and
a reputation for top-quality
products and exceptional
customer service.
The recent lockdown has
been tough on everyone, what
was the toughest aspect for
Harrison/Bloy and its people?
How did you adapt?
As an essential service, our
branches provided contactless
pick-up and delivery for tradies.
Support and admin staff were
either working from home or
ready to do so in the final days
before lockdown. CCL’s remote
desktop services and support
ensured all systems ran smoothly
– other than a few bandwidth
issues which CCL helped us
through, we didn’t miss a beat.
The decision we made years ago
to architect our IT systems for
remote work proved a winner.
Now that lockdown has been
relaxed, are you expecting
to operate differently? What
aspects of your business do you
think will change permanently?
We continue to refine
workplace policies and
procedures to improve hygiene,
cleanliness, and personal health.
On the business side we must be
ready to adapt because markets
will change. There’s no point
panicking, as unknown impacts
are yet to play out. You can
choose to run scared – but that
just makes people nervous – or
get excited about rising to the
challenge.
What role does technology
play at Harrison/Bloy as you
adjust to the so-called new
normal? Which technology has
been most helpful? Are you
using any new technology now?
We’ve always had remote

Supported by
working capabilities, so working
that way doesn’t pose new
challenges to our technology
systems. However, additional
workplace flexibility requires
a heightened sense of security,
and on this front we’re rolling
out multi-factor authentication.
We’re also evaluating business
intelligence systems to measure
our performance and put
numbers to what we do well and
where we can improve.
Do you have a sense of
what the future looks like for
Harrison/Bloy?
While the pandemic up-ended
normality, low interest rates and
decisive Government action
sees New Zealand in a stronger
position than most other
countries. The wage subsidy
has made a huge difference to
the preservation of jobs and
market confidence. Next steps
will be challenging, because the
economy has taken a big hit and
will run on three cylinders for
some time. But we’re a resilient
bunch – we bounced backed
from the GFC, the earthquakes,
and the mosque tragedy. We’ll
be even stronger when we get
through this experience.
Finally, what lessons have you
learned from this chapter in our
history?
We’ve heard a lot about
working from home, but less
about workplace culture. There’s
nothing better than having our
people back at work. Technology
is great and flexibility important,
but you need people around you
to build a strong culture. What’s
more, when you leave your
workplace at the day’s end you
leave your work behind. Whereas
when you work from home,
work is always there. It might
be good for employers, but it’s
harder on staff. The best answer
is somewhere in between.

Tree cutting
I am feeling very depressed at
the way the council and their
so called tree technicians are
cutting down trees in our once
“garden city.”
I’m afraid that name can no
longer be used. Seemingly, these
technicians identify trees that
are needing attention – and the
contractors set about their tasks.
I was upset and sickened viewing
the state of the once beautiful
and elegant weeping willow trees
in Park Tce. They have been
trimmed severely, like a fringe,
but only on one side so now they
weep towards the river as they
are meant to, but the street side
of the trees have been cut straight
across in the most unsympathetic
way. I assume these trees
had the temerity to weep their
fronds towards the path.
Shocking treatment of these
iconic trees, which have so much
fascinating history. The council
need to be held account for their
indiscriminate treatment of our
trees.
Just walk around the new river
walkway starting at Kilmore St/
Fitzgerald Ave and note how
many trees were sacrificed to lay
the path. Heaven help that they
could curve the path around the
existing, fully mature trees. So,
new path but little shade any
more. I used to walk around
there before it received the
“council treatment.”
The birds were prolific and the
ducks gathered underneath for
the shade and shelter.
I guess they will just have to do
without. – Sandra Shaw

New stadium
When planning is under way
for the new stadium, maybe it
would be beneficial to make
an area with power supply that
could be rented out short term
for central city self-contained
campervan parking. It would
cost little to set up and patrol,
and would help cafes, restaurants,
theatre and retail shops.
It could be made available at
times when there were no main
events at the stadium.
At busy times, such an area
would have a myriad of uses.

This case haunted me as a child
growing up in Christchurch in

Remember Louisa, she would
walk to school with us sometimes.
Such a beautiful little girl.
I’ll always remember her.
– Sharilee Macaskill

Incomprehensible. I was so

I will never forget the day this
a hole took Louisa. I always think
about her when I am near the
Waimak, and frequently for no
reason what so ever this little girl
pops into my mind.
– Helen Fox
I remember this case well. I
was only 15 at the time but my
sister was 6, same age as Louisa.
The mothers of the children in
my sister’s class all called each
other up and most of the children
were then driven to school
or walked. – Nicky Griffith
I worked over the road from
where this girl was taken, the
whole factory was interviewed.
Everyone was upset for her. This
person should die behind bars,
her family have also had the life
sentence, this person should too.
Awful for her family, awful for
police working on the case.
– Allison Grant
Lived next door to Louisa, her
brother and parents. A lovely
family. Louisa always said hello
and had such a beautiful smile.
– Diane Lowery
Should stay where he is. Remember
it so well. Never let my
children walk to school on their
own after that. It changed new
Zealand.
– Denis Lynn Gillison
What an absolute monster!
He should never be allowed
freedom! The mother must be
so strong to have dealt with this.
I can’t imagine losing my son.
Absolutely horrific!

COMMITMENT: Evan Smith has been a driving force
behind a petition on the future of the residential red
zone.

campaign
comes full circle
IT WAS very special to be able
to welcome Poto Williams and
members of the Avon Ōtākaro
Network to the council chamber
this week as the more than
18,000 signature petition on
the future of the residential red
zone was returned home from
Parliament.
It was a ceremony that involved
people rowing, kayaking,
cycling and walking the petition
through the Ōtākaro Avon
River Corridor in a way that
mirrored the original journey to
Wellington eight years ago.
The petition had called on
Parliament to work with the
people and local authorities of
Christchurch to ensure that the
Avon River red zone becomes a
reserve and river park when the
home-owners had to leave. The
Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor
Regeneration Plan has enabled
this vision to become a reality.
So, this ceremony represented
a closing of the circle. And it was
an opportunity to pay tribute to
the person who was the driving
force behind the petition and
has remained so every step of
the way.
Evan Smith’s passion and
commitment has been to ensure
that the community would be at
the heart of planning the future
for this place that had been the
homes of thousands of Christchurch
residents.
It has remained his dream
that the governance of this land
becomes a genuine partnership
between mana whenua and the
community.
As we prepare for the transfer
of this land to the Council, this
is the time for this conversation
to begin.
The Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor
is a wonderful gift, which
enables us to explore what a
community partnership model
of ownership could look like.
This will allow us to reflect
this place’s unique history and
the legacy it offers us all in
perpetuity.

Spicy cauliflower steak
burgers
Serves 4
Ingredients
½ cucumber, thinly sliced
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tbsp sugar
1 cauliflower, medium
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp plain flour, well seasoned
100g dried white breadcrumbs
2 eggs, beaten
Peanut oil for frying
4 ciabatta rolls, toasted/halved
4 tbsp hummus
Rocket, a small handful
Red pepper 4 slices
Hot sauce to serve (optional)
Directions
Toss the cucumber with the
vinegar and sugar, and leave while
you prep the burgers.
Put the cauliflower stalk-end
down on a chopping board.
Trim the ends off two sides
of the cauliflower then cut
the remainder into 2cm slices
through the root to make four
‘steaks’ (you can freeze the
leftovers for soup or cauliflower
cheese). Trim them down slightly
if they’re much bigger than the
size of the buns.
Divide the spices equally
between the flour and
breadcrumbs in two shallow
bowls.
Dust each cauli steak in the
flour. Dip in the beaten egg then
coat in the breadcrumbs.
Heat 1cm deep of oil in a large
frying pan. Cook the steaks on
a medium heat for about 5min
each side until crisp, golden and
tender.
To build the burgers, spread the
top and bottom of each bun with
hummus. Add a few rocket leaves
then a slice of pepper. Top with the
cauli steak, some drained pickled
cucumber, and some hot sauce, if
using. Put on the tops and serve.
Our creamy cauliflower

winter warmer
Spiced cauli soup
Serves 4
Ingredients
1 cauliflower, large (about 450g)
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 tbsp medium curry powder
1 litre vegetable stock
100g Greek yogurt
½ lemon, juiced
Directions
Trim all of the florets from the
cauliflower and cut into chunky
pieces, keeping back two of the
nicer florets for later. Finely chop
the stem.
Heat the vegetable oil in a
large pan and cook the chopped
cauliflower florets and stem with
the onion over a medium heat for
10min, stirring regularly, until the
cauliflower is deeply golden.
Tip in the garlic and cook for
2min, then add the curry powder
and cook for 1min.
Pour in the vegetable stock
and simmer for 20min until the
cauliflower is starting to break
down. Stir through the yogurt,
then use a stick blender to whizz
until completely smooth.
Use a sharp knife or mandoline
to very thinly slice the two
cauliflower florets you kept back.
Gently toss them with a little
seasoning and the lemon juice.
Pour the soup into bowls
and top with the thinly sliced
cauliflower, and a grinding of
black pepper, if you like.

APPRENTICE JOCKEY Rohan
Mudhoo proved to be the star
of the show in the return of
races at Riccarton following the
easing of Covid-19 pandemic
restrictions.
The Mauritian-born 21-yearold
rode a treble of winners on
Saturday,
“That is the first time that I
have ridden three winners in
a row so it was a great thrill,”
Mudhoo said.
He is in the second full season
of his apprenticeship with Riccarton
trainer Mike McCann
after following his older brother
Krishna to New Zealand to
launch his riding career.
Saturday’s treble aboard
stable runners Gee Tee Eleanor,
Frankie The Fox and the Ellis
Winsloe-trained Irish Excuse
took him to the 51-win mark for
his career to date.
“I was pretty calm going into
the day and my boss had told
me just to take things how they
come and give the horses the
best possible chance I could.
“When the track got wetter
during the day, I was pretty
hopeful as both of our stable
horses had been working well
and handling that type of
ground well at home.
“Irish Excuse was just amazing
and it was a magic effort.
“I was walking about 50.5kg
so I had to put over 10kg of lead
in my saddle to get to the weight
he had to carry.
“He just didn’t want to give up
in the straight, he just kept trying
and trying and he got there
in the end.”
From a non-racing background,
Mudhoo admits he was
like any typical younger brother,
keen to follow in the footsteps of
his older sibling Krishna when
he started out on his path to
becoming a jockey.
“In my family the only person
who is involved in racing is my
older brother,” he said.
“When he was riding back
home, he went to the South African
Jockey Academy and then
got the opportunity to come to
New Zealand.
“I thought I’d follow him as
I had been following him since
I was a kid, the usual younger
brother thing where whatever he
was doing, I wanted to be doing
the same.
“I wanted to act like him and
I’d jump on the bed and pretend
I was riding like him.
“I rang him here in New Zealand
and he eventually managed
to get me a job here.”
While Mudhoo looked up
to his brother, Krishna made
sure his younger sibling found
out just what hard work was
required to make it as a jockey.
“He (Krishna) has taught me a
lot in so many ways but I can say

he has never been nice to me on
a racetrack,” Mudhoo said.
“He was always telling me
what I had done wrong, picked
on my mistakes and made me
learn very quickly.
“That has been good for my
riding and I do appreciate it as
it has taught me to figure out
what I need to do in different
circumstances.
“I know he loves me but he can
be a grumpy so and so when we
are out on the track together.”
Mudhoo is keen to develop his
riding further and plans to take
every opportunity available to
him as he looks forward to the
next 12 months in the saddle.
“I’m doing what I really want
to do and I’m living my dream
with race riding so I feel like I
am blessed.”

Keeping safe
during open homes
There’s a lot to consider
when putting your home
on show during the
selling process. While
you want your property to
look attractive to potential
buyers, you don’t want
them to advertise your
precious belongings to
anyone with ill intent. As
in most circumstances, a
bit of common sense goes
a long way.
To start with, you should
feel completely confident
about your real estate agent. Licensed
real estate agents are bound by the
Code of Conduct, which means they
have a clear responsibility to safeguard
your property. If you have any concerns
about holding open homes, or having
viewings of your property, it’s important
to discuss these with the agent so you
can both feel comfortable. They can
advise you on any precautions to take as
part of preparing the property for sale.
When you’re getting ready to put
the property on the market, the
New Zealand Police National Crime
Prevention Centre recommends
checking with your insurance provider
so you know what your policy covers.
Make sure you have enough insurance
to cover any potential property damage,
or any valuables. Let trusted neighbours
know the dates of any upcoming open
homes or viewings, and ask them to
keep an eye out for anything unusual.
The Police also suggest that you store
any valuables well out of sight before
you hold your first open home, or make
the property available for viewing. The
most commonly stolen items include
money, jewellery, office equipment,
clothing, electronics, and firearms.
Photograph and record serial numbers.

It can be helpful to make a checklist
to streamline the process and ensure
you don’t overlook anything. It’s a good
idea to hide your calendars – open
home viewers don’t need to know when
you plan to be away, or where you’re
planning to go. Put away family photos,
and lock away any passports, spare keys,
financial statements and credit cards.
Store any alcohol and prescription drugs
out of sight and preferably out of the
reach of children.
On the day of the open home, it is best
to wait at the property until the agent
arrives so you can officially pass the
security responsibility to them. Be sure
to walk the agent through the property
and orient them as needed. Ask them if
you can help them close up at the end of
the open home. Together you can check
the property, including any storage
areas and outside spaces. Double check
all the locks on windows and doors to
make sure they are secured as they were
before the viewing started.
Selling a home can be a stressful
process, so it makes sense to minimise
any hassles wherever possible. If you’ve
taken all the sensible precautions, you
shouldn’t need to worry about holding
an open home.
