A TRAM RIDE through the city 

for her son Simon’s 50th birthday 

turned into an unsavoury 

experience for Kay Rainey – the 

canapes left her cold and the 

beverages were lukewarm. 

Rainey was so unhappy with 

the catering provided during the 

hour-long function on December 

27 she sought a refund through 

the Disputes Tribunal. 

She was awarded $333 after 

seeking $750, half the cost of the 

function. 

Rainey said tram operator 

Christchurch Attractions had 

offered $400 before the hearing, 

though for her the outcome was 

priceless. 

“It’s not all about the money, I 

wanted to have that judgement,” 

she said. 

Rainey’s complaint centred 

on the two types of canapes 

ordered: the rare beef with 

homestead Yorkshire pudding 

and horseradish cream; and the 

smoked chicken, avocado, heirloom 

basil tart. 

Asked to describe the canapes, 

Rainey replied: “One word – 

inedible.” 

“My two grandsons said: 

‘What’s this nanny?’ I couldn’t 

identify it from the taste.” 

Function-goers, who were allocated 

two canapes each, agreed 

when supporting Rainey’s bid for 

compensation. 

They variously labelled the 

canapes as “stale, cardboard-like, 

bland and unacceptable.” 

Rainey, who sampled the 

caterer’s canapes selection in the 

days leading up to the function, 

also claimed only the first six 

beers were chilled sufficiently. 

In correspondence to Rainey, 

Tramway Restaurant’s marketing 

manager Emma Thomson said 

her concerns were passed on to 

the caterers. 

“The canapes were made by 

their head chef and had been 

tested for quality, and there were 

no issues that arose,” Thomson 

Tramway fare 

wrote on January 15. 

“As there were no quality issues 

identified by the caterers we 

are unable to offer a refund for 

the event.” 

Thomson added the caterers 

would ensure they brought additional 

chilling facilities in the 

future as “all beverages should be

served cold.” 

The tribunal found on 

the balance of probabilities, 

the canapes were not of an 

acceptable quality so Rainey was 

entitled to $333, the estimated 

cost of the food. 

Rainey received the refund last 

week, plus two complimentary 

tram tickets, which she was “not 

inclined to use.” 

In spite of the food leaving a 

bad taste, Rainey praised the 

tram and office staff. 

“The staff on the tram was 

exceptionally nice, the girl 

who took the booking was 

exceptionally nice,” she said.

in brief 

Shallow quake 

rattles city 

A shallow earthquake left 

thousands of Christchurch 

residents feeling rattled 

yesterday. Geonet reports 

the magnitude 3.9 quake hit 

just before 1.50pm. It was 

seven kilometres deep and 

five kilometres south-west of 

the city. More than 10,000 

people reported feeling the 

quake. Most thought the jolt 

was moderate in strength, but 

a few reported more intense 

shaking. It was felt as far away 

as Auckland, according to 

GeoNet. 

Paul Mora article 

On May 13 an article in The 

Star stated Paul Mora from 

Christchurch was a “fraudster” 

and that he was “in hiding.” 

However, Mora has not been 

convicted of fraud, and The 

Star understands from Mora 

that he has kept authorities 

updated as to his whereabouts 

at all times. We retract the 

statements published and 

apologise to Mora. 

Charlie’s crowing 

about his new home 

Charlie the Rooster found 

a new home on Friday after 

The Star reported last week 

he spent about 120 days at the 

Hornby SPCA centre. Charlie 

was adopted by a Leeston 

couple with a lifestyle block. 

On Saturday 32 other animals 

were also adopted from the 

centre. It currently has more 

than 200 animals which need 

homes, about 100 more than 

usual.

St John paramedic Craig 

Stockdale was made a 

Commander at a ceremony 

on Saturday for exceptional

Incredible survival story: Driver 

• By Susan Sandys 

JOHNNY MILLER was stuck 

up a tree with raging floodwaters 

beneath him. 

The 54-year-old plasterer 

had phoned his friend after 

abandoning his vehicle. In the 

pitch-black darkness, heavy rain 

soaked through his jacket and 

he started to feel cold. His phone 

was about to go dead, but before 

it did, he got the text he was 

hoping for - help was on its way. 

It was the start of a fourhour 

battle for survival, which 

ended with Miller being swept 

downstream and clinging to a 

branch before being winched to 

safety. 

The interior plasterer and 

racehorse trainer was among 

those saved in several dramatic 

air rescues in the Canterbury 

floods at the weekend. 

He had been driving to 

Darfield from his home in 

Hororata on Sunday and had 

almost reached the town when 

his car suddenly hit raging 

waters about 7pm. 

Miller said he had not 

expected the Hawkins River on 

Greendale Rd to have risen like 

it did. The river is usually dry, 

but runs across the road when 

it is flowing. Miller said he had 

driven across it just a couple of 

NIGHT RESCUE: Rod May’s tractor lights up the Hawkins River and a swift water rescue crew during the first two 

attempts to pluck Johnny Miller from a tree. Miller later leapt into the water and was rescued by an air force helicopter. 

Right: Miller relaxing after his ordeal yesterday. 

hours earlier, when the river 

was just a “trickle” and the road 

had been “as good as gold.” 

“I went out in the dark, it was 

my fault, the road wasn’t closed, 

before I knew it, I hit it,” he said. 

His Ford Ranger floated 

downstream. He undid his 

seat-belt and picked up his 

cellphone. He pressed the 

number at the top of the 

recently-phoned list on the 

screen, which was for his friend 

Ricky Chapman. 

“I said ‘S**t mate, I think I’m 

in a bit of trouble’.” 

He decided to climb out the 

driver-side window, and zipped 

his cellphone into his jacket 

pocket. On the first couple of 

tries the automatic button to 

wind the window down didn’t 

work. 

“And then it went,” he said. 

Remaining calm, he climbed 

onto the roof and was there for 

a couple of minutes as the Ranger 

was swept downstream about 

50m, where Miller grabbed onto 

a tree. He was surrounded by 

pitch blackness as he stood on a 

large branch of the tree, above 

the raging waters below. He 

phoned Chapman again. 

“I said ‘I don’t think they will 

get me out of here’.” 

He did not want to cause a 

fuss by phoning emergency services, 

and thought he would 

probably be alright up the 

tree for the night. Chapman 

disagreed and said he would 

phone 111. 

“I said ‘alright’.” 

Chapman soon texted him 

back to say he had called 111. 

After that Miller’s phone 

stopped working. 

While he had been reasonably 

dry when he got to the tree, 

Miller soon became cold and 

wet from the heavy rain.

plucked from raging river 

After he had been there about 

45 minutes, Darfield fire crews 

arrived, found where he was by 

calling out and shone torches in 

the area. 

Later a farmer, Rod May from 

Darfield, shone lights from his 

tractor onto the tree, while a swift 

water rescue crew unsuccessfully 

tried to reach Miller with boats. 

An air force helicopter was next 

on the scene. The helicopter 

winchman was lowered down. 

However, Miller was in an awkward 

position in the tree and the 

winchman could not reach him. 

The helicopter flew away. 

By this time Miller had had to 

climb higher up the tree as the 

water had risen. The ordeal was 

now stretching into hours. It was 

nearing 11pm and he was getting 

“bloody cold.” However, he 

said he had never felt desperate 

or thought he was not going to 

make it out. 

“I was calm, but I was cold. 

To be fair, I wasn’t worried. The 

whole time I was out there I felt 

calm,” Miller said. 

He started to think that maybe 

he could get to the bank of the 

river, near where the emergency 

services were, about 40m away. 

He believed either the rescuers 

would throw him a rope, or he 

would be able to grab onto another 

tree. 

“I thought - I will go like hell, 

and I will get out on the right side 

where those torches are,” Miller 

said. 

“I felt I had got myself in that 

position, I felt I had to try and get 

myself out of it.” 

He took off his jacket, keeping 

on his T-shirt, shorts and work 

boots, and dived into the river. 

“I felt warmer in the water than 

in the tree.” 

The river sucked him down 

under branches at one point, but 

the force of the river pushed him 

through the debris. He tried to 

grab at trees along the way, and 

after being swept about 300m 

managed to hold onto the branch 

of a tree. 

“I had a rest on the branch, I 

had a wee breather for about a 

couple of minutes, and I briefly 

got up the branch, and I saw the 

helicopter. They must have called 

the helicopter back. I got further 

out on the branch and waved, 

and they spotted me.” 

Rod May 

He had been in the water about 

15 minutes when the winchman 

was this time able to reach him 

and lift him from the water. 

He had a “windy” ride at the 

end of the rope dangling under 

the helicopter, as it moved to a 

nearby paddock and hovered 

over it for some time to get in the 

right position to lower him down. 

However, at that time he wasn’t 

feeling the cold. 

“What happens is your adrenalin 

kicks in, that’s why, but then 

when I got to the ground, then I 

was cold, and they put me in the 

stretcher,” Miller said. 

In the ambulance, paramedics 

told him his body temperature 

was low. He was taken to 

Christchurch Hospital, where he 

stayed the night and was treated 

for hypothermia. 

Miller said he had learned a 

lesson from the ordeal, about 

just how quickly floodwaters 

can rise and to never know what 

is around the corner in such 

conditions. 

“Don’t expect every road that’s 

not got a sign up to be foolproof,” 

he said. 

Miller said he had great respect 

for his rescuers, who were 

“gutsy.” 

“You don’t want them putting 

their lives out there, you know, 

but they do.” 

His rescuers told The Star how 

they were stunned at Miller’s 

survival. 

Rod May, who had earlier 

brought the tractor to the scene, 

and his family watched as Miller 

dived into the river. 

“We were horrified, we thought 

that’s it, he’s gone,” May said. 

Darfield Volunteer Fire Brigade 

chief John Chambers echoed this 

fear. 

“When he went into the river, 

we really thought that possibly it 

was the end for the poor bugger,” 

Chambers said. 

Miller bought a new cellphone 

on Tuesday, but planned to 

retrieve his jacket and the phone 

that saved his life from the tree 

once floodwaters subsided. He 

also planned to retrieve his 

car, which he had since spotted 

downstream on its side.

PRECARIOUS: Lee Jewel at the intersection of Cranford and Westminster 

Sts keeps a keen eye out for cars. 

Call to curb red light 

LEE JEWEL runs the 

gauntlet without hesitation, 

even if it means motorists 

clip the warning sign she 

holds to help St Albans 

School children get to class 

safely. 

Jewel patrols 

the intersection of 

Westminster and Cranford 

St daily, a precarious 

position during morning 

rush hour on one of the 

city’s busiest roads. 

“They’ve knocked my 

sign, that’s happened quite 

a few times. Drove into 

it . . . children are crossing 

and I scream: ‘Stop’. It 

keeps you on your toes,” 

she said. 

“Everybody’s in a hurry 

to get to work. They cut 

around (from Westminster 

to Cranford) when there’s 

kids walking across.” 

She said one boy on 

a scooter was struck 

recently while crossing the 

intersection, the driver did 

not stop but was traced by 

police. 

While content police 

blitz the area from time to 

time Jewel, who has served 

as a school patroller for 

12 years, urged the city 

council to put up a sign 

warning children 

are crossing, even though 

the junction has traffic 

lights. 

“We’ve asked for it, but 

they won’t give it to us,” 

she said.

Rugby, the Soviets, space travel, 

organised crime . . . and murder 

From Russia with 

a paratrooper, a 

ballet dancer and an 

underworld player. 

Thirty years ago this 

week, Canterbury 

played the former 

USSR at Lancaster 

Park. Chris Barclay 

revisits the game with 

Wiremu Maunsell, who 

was offered a place 

on the Soviet space 

programme after the 

tour 

RAUV MALIKOV, the 

chrome-domed hooker, was 

a paratrooper who landed in 

Afghanistan when the Soviets 

invaded in 1979. 

The first five-eighth, Sergei 

Boldakov, was an accomplished 

ballet dancer, explaining his 

twinkle-toes. 

And the first choice centre, 

Igor Kuperman, followed a 

deeply flawed game plan when 

he turned to a short-lived life of 

organised crime after the USSR’s 

curious ground-breaking rugby 

visit to New Zealand. 

Although the All Blacks’ failed 

World Cup defence was the lead 

rugby story of 1991 here, the Soviets 

eight-match tour provided 

some odd talking points before 

they departed with a four-win 

four-loss record. 

They played Canterbury at 

Lancaster Park 30 years ago on 

Tuesday, where they suffered the 

first, and heaviest, loss on their 

schedule, a 73-15 hammering 

that sunny afternoon. 

Wiremu Maunsell played 

centre outside captain Andrew 

McCormick and has clear recollections 

of the opposition, and 

his marker. 

Now 54-years-old and working 

as a pool safety inspector in 

Brisbane, Maunsell also lined 

up against Kuperman for a New 

Zealand XV in the penultimate 

game of the tour in Hamilton. 

“He was a nice guy, a small 

guy but hard,” Maunsell told The 

Star. 

“After the last game I gave him 

my New Zealand XV jacket. I 

knew I’d never wear it again. 

You’d never go around town 

wearing a New Zealand XV 

jacket, you’d get something 

thrown at you. 

“I said, ‘You have this’ and he 

was rapt. I never heard from him 

afterwards,” he said. 

“In those days you had to 

write, you didn’t have text 

messages, mobile phones, or 

Facebook.” 

Kuperman, one of few members 

of the tour party to utter or 

understand rudimentary English, 

was actually murdered in 

Siberia a decade before Facebook 

launched in 2004. 

According to a three-line 

report in The Moscow Times, 

dated November 11, 1994, 

Kuperman, the captain of 

Russia’s international rugby 

team, was found with a single 

shot to the head in a pine 

forest in his home town of 

Krasnoyarsk. 

Another report said Kuperman 

was a member of a criminal 

group in what was then regarded 

as the underworld capital of 

Siberia. 

“The choices you make … 

it’s really sad to hear that about 

him,” Maunsell said. 

Although the Soviets were 

soundly beaten, Maunsell gave 

them credit. 

“They had some really big 

forwards and really quick backs. 

They were good guys, they just 

didn’t have that background and 

history with rugby, that’s all,” he 

said. 

“They were athletes, they just 

had to learn the art of the game 

and if they’d picked that up more 

they would have done a 

lot better.” 

Touch judge Terry Marshall 

reckoned learning in a rugby 

school of hard knocks wasn’t 

exactly a priority; the tour 

summary in the 1991 edition of 

the New Zealand Rugby Almanac 

drew the same conclusion. 

Marshall ran the line at 

Lancaster Park and seven days 

‘After the last game I gave him my New Zealand XV jacket. I knew I’d never wear it again. 

You’d never go around town wearing a New Zealand XV jacket, you’d get something 

thrown at you.’ 

– Wiremu Maunsell 

later he refereed the match 

against Otago in Carisbrook. 

“It’s a little bit from memory, 

but I think the assistant coach 

(New Zealander Duncan Dysart) 

said he could only get them 

together to practice once a week,” 

he said. 

“They enjoyed themselves. 

They weren’t out and about 

ripping it up, they were just 

enjoying being in New Zealand. 

It was a great chance to get away 

from restrictions.” 

Some players headed to 

Lyttelton once they realised it 

was a port of call for compatriots 

on fishing vessels.

‘Oh yeah, it’s Moon Man’ – Maunsell 

• From page 9 

“I think they were more into 

sightseeing than playing,” said 

Marshall, who is still spending 

Saturday afternoons as an assistant 

referee in Christchurch club 

rugby. “They played alright for a 

team like that.” 

Author and journalist Joseph 

Romanos felt the Soviets were not 

as motivated as they might have 

been. 

“The New Zealand union spent 

a considerable amount of money 

bringing the Russians on tour, 

believing they were acting in 

the best interests of rugby. They 

probably were, but it is questionable 

if the tourists made the best 

use of the opportunities they 

were given,” Romanos wrote in 

the almanac. 

Then All Blacks coach Alex 

Wyllie took one training session 

with the squad and was willing to 

do more, but was not required. 

Other than scoring a try off 

a Greg Coffey bomb, Maunsell 

also had vivid memories of the 

after-match function, where the 

visitors supplied the vodka. 

“In the after-match they’d be 

selling those (wooden) babushka 

dolls. They were funding themselves 

as they went, so good on 

them.” 

The Soviets also put the hard 

sell on tour liaison officer Ivan 

Vodanovich, the former All 

Blacks coach, which led to a bizarre 

storyline involving Maunsell 

when the teams were 

in Hamilton. 

Yuli Andreichev, a 

businessman and former 

government minister who 

partially sponsored the tour, 

surprised Vodanovich by offering 

a New Zealand player the 

possibility to join the Soviet space 

programme as a cosmonaut. 

As Maunsell recalled: “The 

morning of the game they called 

me into a room and Ivan said, 

‘This is what we’re going to 

do. He (Yuli) is going to speak 

Russian, he’s going to put the 

offer out and we want you to 

throw your hand up and say 

‘Yeah, I’ll go’.” 

Maunsell figured there were 

three reasons he was selected. As 

a Māori he was ideal to represent 

New Zealand, he was in the army 

so taking orders wasn’t an issue 

HIGH 

WATERMARK: 

Former 

Canterbury 

centre Wiremu 

Maunsell now 

works as a pool 

inspector in 

Brisbane. 

and he was the right size. 

“I was smaller, you can’t have 

big guys in those little cockpit 

things,” he said. 

Ultimately the gimmick never 

got off the ground because the 

USSR dissolved on December 26, 

1991. 

But Maunsell, who played 

tests for Hong Kong after his 

Canterbury career ended in 1993, 

is still reminded of his unlikely 

chance to go into orbit. 

“The jokes lasted forever,” 

he lamented. 

“When the boys see me they go 

‘Oh yeah it’s ‘Moon Man’.” 

Maunsell is still involved with 

rugby, he coaches an under-15 

side in Brisbane, and although 

he never kept in touch with 

Kuperman, Canterbury did forge 

links with the slain gangster’s 

players’ club, Krasny Yar. 

In 2010 the club sent a 38-man 

squad and five coaches to attend 

a three-week training camp with 

the Canterbury Rugby Union’s 

International High Performance 

Unit where they had sessions 

with the Crusaders coaching 

staff. 

Kuperman, meanwhile, is 

remembered in the city where 

he made his name as a rugby 

player. A youth tournament in 

his memory is held in August at 

Krasny Yar Stadium.

Victoria Cross recipient’s earthquake 

damaged family plot to be repaired 


THE EARTHQUAKE-damaged 

family plot of Sergeant Henry 

Nicholas, Canterbury’s first 

Victoria Cross recipient, will be 

repaired after the New Zealand 

Remembrance Army answered 

the call of a distressed Korean 

War veteran. 

Ken Wright’s campaign 

to reinstall and clean the 

toppled headstone in Bromley 

Cemetery will reach fruition 

after the charity devoted to the 

restoration of New Zealand war 

graves learned of the plot’s state. 

NZ Remembrance Army chief 

executive Simon Strombom 

said the city council would be 

approached to organise the 

necessary consents and ideally 

the rejuvenated plot would be 

unveiled in about two months. 

“We’ll hopefully get a 

ceremony organised because it 

is a nationally significant grave,” 

he said. 

The headstone had to be lifted 

and pinned, with Strombom 

estimating the work would cost 

$1500 to $2000. 

“We’ll underwrite it and get it 

done. This is what we’re here for,” 

he said. 

“This is a classic case, there’s 

war graves all over New Zealand 

and no one looks after them. We 

just funded six (repairs) in Te 

Awamutu.” 

Strombom said the 

Christchurch branch of 

the Returned and Services’ 

Association would contribute to 

the project. 

The New Zealand Army and 

Veterans Affairs’ New Zealand 

had also pledged support. 

Wright first noticed the family 

plot 20 years ago when visiting 

from Dunedin. He moved to 

Christchurch last November and 

was appalled the plot has not 

been repaired since the 

2011 earthquakes. 

PROGRESS: 

The family 

plot of Victoria 

Cross recipient 

Sergeant Henry 

Nicholas is set to 

be repaired by 

the New Zealand 

Remembrance 

Army. 

He was rapt to hear the NZ 

Remembrance Army had 

mobilised. 

“That’s brilliant, bloody great,” 

Wright said. 

Lincoln-born Nicholas was 

awarded the VC for his heroic 

exploits in December 1917 when 

storming a German machine 

gun nest in Belgium during 

World War 1. 

Nicholas was killed, aged 27, 

in France on October, 29 1918, 

shortly before the armistice. 

Robyn Thew, a great-niece of 

Nicholas, was delighted the plot 

would be restored and noted 

Henry’s brothers Frederick 

Charles and Ernest, who also 

served in World War 1, were also 

buried there with their mother 

Hannah. 

“The family lost quite a lot. 

They lost one of their sons and 

the other two came back pretty 

shell-shocked. They never had 

families,” she said. 

Thew visited the plot several 

years ago and felt guilty the plot 

had lay so long in disrepair. 

“My sister said to me: ‘I never 

even thought about that grave. 

When the earthquakes happened 

the last thing you think of is 

the gravestone of an old relative 

don’t you’? 

“I felt really sad that we hadn’t 

thought about that.” 

The NZ Remembrance Army, 

formed on January 1, 2019, 

relies on public donations 

which can be made at https://

Giving back and helping 

those around her is something 

Jenny loves. When she found 

a way to combine her creative 

passions with her drive to give 

back to the community she was 

overjoyed. 

The local township where 

she lives opened a creative 

space and through this she was 

employed as a Maori Arts tutor 

and followed that up by teaching 

art as a mental health worker. 

Being a teacher, standing up 

the front or getting down to 

work alongside people, Jenny 

found a lot of pressure and stress 

was being put on her knees. 

“Every night, not only would 

I struggle to get to sleep but 

I would be waking at least a 

couple of times to stretch my 

legs. Trying to teach mental 

health patients after a bad 

night’s sleep, is not a good 

mix. I started to become a bit 

snappy.” 

After a friend of hers, who 

was using Koru FX on her back

it, she has not looked back. 

“I wish I had known about it

not only do I sleep better but I

Jenny now recommends Koru

also enjoys the fact that it is a

to take. 

“It makes you quite excited to 

have a cream that not only gives 

you the results you want but also 

smells nice. It doesn’t make you 

smell unpleasant when you’re

“I really recommend it. The 

price is good, it’s natural and 

the bottle lasts for ages.” 

“Everyone in the community

Dog barking 

program saves 

council time 

• By Devon Bolger 

THE CITY council is spending 

$40,000 to analyse dog barks. 

In February, the council began 

using a programme that can 

analyse the audio taken from bark 

recording devices to determine if 

it is loud enough and long enough 

to take action. 

The devices have been used for 

10 years, recording the extent of 

the barking when a complaint has 

been made. 

In the past 12 months, the 

council has received 2384 

complaints about dogs barking. 

An Official Information 

Act request revealed $29,880 

has been spent on the project 

to automatically analyse the 

recordings to date. 

Another $5000 is expected to be 

spent for it “to get to production” 

and a web page will be set up, 

bringing the total expected cost to 

$40,000. 

The costs includes staff salaries, 

while the council says the non-staff 

costs are very minor. 

In its OIA response, the city 

council says the project is expected 

to save 240 hours a month of staff 

physically listening to the audio 

files.

Casino in spotlight over pokie 

donations to community 

• By Matt Slaughter 

NOT ENOUGH of Christchurch 

Casino’s profit is going to charity. 

That is the view expressed in 

the city council’s draft submission 

to the Gambling Commission. 

The commission is reviewing 

the charitable trust licence 

conditions of the country’s six 

casinos - in Christchurch, Auckland, 

Hamilton, Dunedin and 

Queenstown. 

But Christchurch Casino 

chief executive Brett Anderson 

said it exceeds its charity 

donation requirements, while 

still achieving its main goal of 

running a business. 

The city council submission 

questions the amount of money 

from each of Christchurch 

Casino’s 454 machines, $390,000 

in total, which went to the 

community in 2020. 

Last year $859 from each 

machine was donated, 

compared to $20,000 from each 

Christchurch non-casino pokie 

machine in the 2019-20 financial 

year, $26.4 million in total. 

Anderson said the most up-todate 

figure of casino donations is 

actually $407,000. 

Christchurch Casino is 

required to pay its charitable 


trust at least 2.5 per cent of 

its annual profit or $250,000, 

whichever was greater. On top 

of this, it pays an additional 

minimum of $100,000 in 

charitable payments at its own 

discretion. Non-casino gaming 

machine operators are required 

to provide at least 40 per cent of 

the profits as community grants. 

Said the city council’s draft 

submission: “The council believes 

that neither the current 

donations required, nor those 

actually provided, provide 

credible social license for CCL 

(Christchurch Casino Ltd) to 

operate in our city. 

“Donations to the casino’s 

charitable trust seem small, 

especially when compared to the 

requirements placed on other 

forms of gambling.” 

Anderson said it is unfair to 

compare donation requirements 

for the casino, which has many 

purposes other than gambling, 

to TABs, where the main purpose 

is gambling. 

“Casinos are a legitimate 

business and they were not set 

up to, I suppose, provide funds 

to charities or to the community, 

they were set up for the economy, 

tourism, to create jobs, different 

factors and be a thriving 

business. 

“We contribute a lot more than 

what we’re, legally, under our

“We have a far-reaching 

community reach. Yes, it’s not 

as high as your pubs, clubs and 

sports venues [and] not as high 

as Lotto or anything else, but in 

terms of our business, I think the 

key word is that it is a business.” 

The submission recommends 

the amount of money won at New 

Zealand casinos should be used 

to determine the amount each 

contributes to its charitable trust. 

This would mean casinos 

where wins happen more often 

would give more to charity and 

vice versa. 

Anderson said Christchurch 

Casino’s profits already have 

an influence on how much it 

donates to the community.

today’s meeting.

A retrospective look 

at floods in Canty 


NEWS 17 

After earthquakes, flooding happens to be New 

Zealand’s second costliest natural hazard – and 

the weekend’s deluge in Christchurch reflects 

why. Science reporter Jamie Morton looks at 

three questions surrounding the disaster 

MANY AREAS in Canterbury 

have been struck by major 

floods during the past 150 

years. In Christchurch, 

floodwaters were sometimes 

knee-deep in the central city in 

the late 1800s and early 1900s. 

During early European settlement, 

regular river overflows 

occurred over the flood plain 

areas in and around Christchurch 

and Kaiapoi. 

Since the primary stopbank 

was completed in the 1930s, 

the Waimakariri River hasn’t 

flooded through the city. 

The most recent breakout, 

which happened in December 

1957, flooded parts of Coutts Island, 

in Belfast, and Kainga and 

was just under 4000 cumecs. 

Being built on the flood plain 

of the Waimakariri River, 

Canterbury is no stranger to 

heavy flooding no matter the 

season. The first stopbanks were 

built in the 1860s but floods still 

regularly happened. 

This week marks the anniversary 

of several of these 

events from the past. From 130 

to five years ago, all have caused 

damage, fear and anger, but 

also given reason to help each 

other out 

On February 4, 1868, a severe 

storm hit Canterbury causing 

wide spread damage across the 

region. The storm, which began 

the day before, continued over 

night, wrecking many ships at 

anchor in Lyttelton. 

The first alarm for Christchurch 

was raised by a Fendall 

Town (Fendalton) resident who 

reported that the Waimakariri 

River had flooded and broken 

through its banks. This, in turn, 

sent a surge of water towards 

Christchurch via the Avon. 

Just an hour later at 1pm, 

the Avon had raised so much 

that water had begun to trickle 

across the Madras St bridge. 

Those unfortunate enough 

to live near the Avon and its 

streams were now under water

– in some places four feet deep. 

Tearing away at its own banks, 

knocking down fences and 

drowning hundreds of hoof 

stock, quite a grand pile of 

debris rolled into the city with 

the torrent. 

Police and workmen from the 

city council were dispatched out 

into the affected areas, helping 

people to evacuate their homes 

and to clear away any dangerous 

debris from the waters. 

Victoria St was even dug up 

to form a stop bank in the hope 

this would halt the flood – it 

didn’t. By nightfall, Market 

Place (Victoria Square) was 

knee deep in water, wrecking 

the businesses that called the 

place home. One man had to 

be rescued when he attempted 

to make his way through the 

flood. He fell into a hole that 

had been dug away by the water 

and almost drowned. 

Throughout the night, cabbies 

drove people back and forth in 

their hansom cabs for six dimes 

per head. For years, many 

remembered the cab’s lanterns 

flickering over the eerie black 

waters. 

Christchurch was not the 

only town affected. Kaiapoi 

was completely under water 

and many bridges, roads and 

railways, had been swept away 

from the Waimakariri and 

Selwyn Rivers. Communication 

by telegraph had kept Canterbury 

in touch with the rest of 

the country but by the time the 

floodwaters began to drop back, 

only the line between Christchurch 

and Lyttelton remained. 

An engineer who predicted 

that the Waimakariri would 

flood eventually was William 

Bray (his farm is now the 

suburb of Avonhead). His 

warnings were not taken 

seriously though. 

The following poem was 

written by Crosbie Ward 

of The Lyttelton Times: 

At Avonhead lives Mr Bray, 

Who every morning used 

to say, 

“I should not be much 

surprised today 

If Christchurch city were 

swept away 

By the rushing, crushing, 

flushing, gushing 

Waimakariri River” 

He told his tale and he 

showed his plan, 

How the levels lay and the 

river ran; 

The neighbours thought 

him a learned man, 

But wished him further 

than Isfahan, 

With his wearing, 

tearing, flaring, scaring 

Waimakariri River 

Weekend storm a 

significant event 

WAS IT A one-in-100 year event? 

There’s no question the weekend 

storm was a significant one. 

Places such as Akaroa, Methven 

and Winchmore received around 

twice their normal monthly rainfall 

in fewer than three days. 

At Lismore, near Ashburton, 

238mm dropped 

– that’s the same amount 

that it had received in the 

previous 187 days. 

Such was the storm’s intensity 

that some labelled 

it a “once in a century” 

downpour. 

But it’s really not that 

simple – and indeed such 

a calculation could be impossible 

to make. 

Dr Rob Bell, a scientist specialising 

in coastal hazards, said 

categorising events in such a 

way – as had become ingrained 

because of past practice – was a 

“problematic issue”. 

“We now face the ongoing 

influence of climate change on 

weather-related events that no 

longer fits with the assumption 

of no underlying change in our 

weather systems, climate or sea 

level.” 

The term has long been used as 

a measure of the likely time frame, 

on average, an event exceeds a 

certain level – whether that be 

a flood height, rainfall total, or 

storm-tide sea level – based on a 

Emily Lane 

record of historic measurements. 

That meant calculating a “onein-100-year” 

event from 50 years 

– or even 100 years of records – 

came with obvious uncertainties. 

Bell said a slightly better measure 

was the “annual exceedance 

probability”, or AEP. 

By this, a “one-in-100- 

year” event had a chance of 

one per cent each year of 

being reached or exceeded. 

“So the clock doesn’t get 

reset once such an event 

occurs, such that it won’t 

occur again for 100 years,” 

he said. 

“It’s like a computer 

picking randomly from numbers 

one to 100 and getting a one, then 

five rounds later it could be a one 

again.” 

The usual way the AEP of a 

flood is calculated was with river 

gauges, which measure the height 

of the water in a river at a given 

time. 

This was converted into a “flow” 

– or how many cumecs, or cubic 

metres of water, per second, were 

flowing down the river using a 

rating curve. 

“So for rivers where we have 

gauges, we have measurements 

of the flow in that river over 

time,” said Dr Emily Lane, a 

hydrodynamics scientist at 

NIWA.

• From page 17 

“To calculate the AEP of a flood 

in that river, we take the largest 

flow in the river each year and we 

look at the values we get for this 

over many years. 

“If we had hundreds of years of 

data this would be easy and the 

one in 100 year event would be 

the one that happened on average 

once in 100 years. 

“It is a bit trickier though, 

because we don’t have that length 

of data, so we have to use mathematical 

techniques to work out 

what these would be if we have 

shorter records.” 

That meant that, the shorter the 

record was, the more uncertainty 

there wouldd be with the result. 

“If there happens to have been 

a big flood in that time, it might 

overestimate – or if there haven’t 

been any floods, it might underestimate.” 

She also pointed out that floods 

didn’t happen regularly. 

“Just because there is a big flood 

now it doesn’t mean there won’t 

be another one in the near future. 

They still might on average only 

happen once in a 100 years.” 

And the other obvious problem: 

the planet was warming and 

changing our weather. 

“One of the big assumptions 

in this method is that the climate 

is not changing – of course we 

know that this is not the case at 

the moment,” Lane said. 

“So we are using the past record 

to calculate the probability of a 

flood occurring but because of 

climate change the probability 

of that flood occurring might be 

increasing.” 

Especially because of climate 

change, Bell said using the AEP 

measure was causing confusion. 

“The past measurements are no 

longer a reliable guide to future 

events – both the size and how 

often they will occur,” he said. 

“An event that in the past might 

have occurred, on average, once 

in 100 years is likely to occur, on 

average, once every 50 or 80 years 

or so over the next few decades.” 

So how should these big events be 

categorised? 

“That is a tricky one,” Lane said. 

“People always ask what the 

probability of a flood is and a lot 

of our planning and design and 

hazard management are based on 

probability of events happening. 

“I think we need to ensure that 

whenever we talk about the probability 

of flooding we acknowledge 

that we are in a changing 

climate and that probability of 

flooding might increase. 

“We are also working hard to 

understand how climate change 

might affect these probabilities 

but there is a lot of uncertainty in 

that – not least what we as the human 

race are doing to reduce our 

carbon emissions.” 

Did climate change play a part? 

Such was the complex nature 

of the atmospheric and ocean 

processes driving the storm, that 

it remained difficult to ascribe 

this or any other weather event to 

climate change. 

The deluge came as a result of a 

deep and slow-moving low-pressure 

system that helped siphon 

moisture through an “atmospheric 

river” stretching thousands of 

kilometres back to the subtropics. 

The way that moisture was 

slung around the low and on to 

the eastern South Island – where 

moisture-packed air masses 

dropped their loads before 

climbing the Southern Alps – 

was something seen more 

commonly with big West Coast 

rain events. 

Further in the background, 

the moisture coming from the 

tropics had been charged by the 

presence of a pulse of rain and 

thunderstorms that circulates the

planet every 30 to 40 days called 

the Madden-Julian Oscillation, or 

MJO. 

But that wasn’t to say a warming 

climate wasn’t a factor. 

“As the climate warms, there 

is more moisture in the air on 

average, so when it rains it is 

likely to rain harder than it used 

to,” Victoria University climate 

scientist Professor James Renwick 

explained. 

“That’s why we expect the occurrence 

of heavy rainfalls and 

floods to increase over time as it 

continues to warm up. 

“At the same time, the very 

heaviest rains are getting 

heavier, so records will be 

broken and the once-rare 

events will become more 

commonplace. 

“Unfortunately, the terrible 

damage we’ve seen 

done in Canterbury over 

the past couple of days is 

something we are likely to 

see more often in future.” 

Lane said the sheer 

amount of water that fell was 

the main factor in Canterbury’s 

storm, but there were also other 

exacerbating factors. 

Renwick added that rivers actually 

flooded naturally, and could 

change course unpredictably over 

their floodplains. 

“For instance, the Waimakariri 

River has in the past flowed 

through the area where Christchurch 

now is,” he said. 

“Building stopbanks reduces 

the chances of such events and are 

a good protection against most 

floods.” 

The downside, he said, was 

what was called “maladaptation” 

– or where communities 

developed a false sense of security 

through the presence of the stop 

banks. 

“That can lead to increased 

urban development close to the 

river, and even greater damage 

and misery when the really big 

flood comes.” 

As for climate change, Lane 

said the deluge highlighted an 

important point. 

“Canterbury was in 

the grips of a drought 

recently and lack of water 

was a far bigger problem,” 

she said. 

“Then suddenly when 

the water came, it came 

all at once. These sorts 

of extremes are expected 

to occur more frequently 

under climate change. 

“The expected increase 

in these types of drought-flood 

cycles needs to be incorporated 

into future planning.” 

Are “atmospheric rivers” new 

features? 

Atmospheric rivers aren’t 

anything new – but scientists are 

learning more about them all the 

time. 

Otago University senior lecturer 

Dr Daniel Kingston described 

them as “long, thin filaments” of 

atmospheric moisture transport 

Daniel 

Kingston 

that could carry more water than 

the Amazon River. 

“Atmospheric rivers more commonly 

occur on the West Coast 

of the South Island, but this one 

made landfall on the east coast 

instead.” 

Associate Professor Asaad 

Shamseldin, of Auckland 

University’s Faculty of 

Engineering, said these 

rivers were known to a major 

contributor to the water cycle, 

severe floods, droughts breaking, 

and strong winds worldwide. 

On average there are only three 

to five atmospheric rivers present 

in each hemisphere, covering 

just 10 per cent of the globe’s 

mid-latitude circumference but 

accounting for 90 per cent of 

moisture transport in the same 

region. 

But so far, there was a very 

limited understanding about 

the impacts they’d had in New 

Zealand specifically. 

Atmospheric rivers had the 

greatest impact on the West Coast 

of the South Island, accounting 

for much of the heavy rain commonly 

seen there. 

One dramatic example was the 

March 25, 2019, storm which 

washed away the Waiho Bridge 

near Franz Josef on the West 

Coast. 

That event packed the highest 

ever total of rainfall over a 

48-hour period in New Zealand 

recorded history – reaching 

1086mm. 

While the most severe happened 

around once every five 

years, evidence suggested that 

these bigger events may become 

more frequent and more intense 

in a warming climate. 

Earlier this year, an Otago 

University study provided the first 

detailed analysis of their effects 

on local weather events. 

“In very basic terms, one of 

the results of a warmer climate 

is a wetter atmosphere,” said 

the study’s lead author, Hamish 

Prince. 

“With more moisture in 

the atmosphere the frequency 

and magnitude of atmospheric 

rivers making landfall in New 

Zealand is expected to increase,’’ 

he said.

October opening likely for Te Pae 

TE PAE Christchurch 

Convention Centre will open 

for business in late October 

with a roster of domestic and 

Australasian events planned for 

its opening months. 

General manager Ross Steele 

said confirmation of the opening 

after delays because of the Covid 

lockdown meant clients would 

now have certainty in terms of 

planning events. 

“As the first of New Zealand’s 

new generation of convention 

centres to open we have a unique 

opportunity to put New Zealand 

business events back on the 

world stage, while at the same 

time showcasing the very best 

Ōtautahi Christchurch has to 

offer,” he said. 

“The opening of the 

transtasman bubble provided 

an initial confidence boost to 

event organisers. We hope the 

confirmation of our opening will 

provide further assurances that 

Ōtautahi Christchurch, and in 

particular Te Pae Christchurch, 

is the ideal location for their 

events.” 

There are about 70 events on

Drop-in pitch well and truly stumped 


THE MANGLED steel frame, 

chopped in two by excavating 

equipment, looks nondescript 

as it languishes on the old south 

ground at Lancaster Park. 

Yet during the summer of 

2000-2001, the ground-breaking 

wicket tray encased 22 yards of 

New Zealand-made test cricket 

history. 

As the demolition and regeneration 

of Christchurch’s hallowed 

sporting turf continues, 

a fortnight ago workers had no 

idea what they had unearthed 

when digging out the back of the 

earthquake-ravaged stadium. 

“It was buried, tucked in 

right on the south boundary 

on Lismore St,” said Taggart 

Earthmoving Ltd’s demolitions 

manager Mike Smart. 

The relevance of the framing 

was only apparent when cricket 

buff Richard Gibbs, the city 

council’s project manager for 

Lancaster Park made a site visit. 

Although it is historic in spite 

of being only two decades old, a 

portion of the wicket tray is not 

destined for the New Zealand 

Cricket Museum at Wellington’s 

Basin Reserve. 

“It will get cut up with our 

steel shear and it’ll be recycled. 

From there it’ll be processed and 

shipped overseas to be smelted 

down,” Smart said. 

The drop-in pitch debuted 

in the second test of the series 

with Pakistan from March 15, 

2001, a dreary draw memorable 

for double tons to player of the 

match Mathew Sinclair (204*) 

and Mohammad Yousuf (203). 

Criticised for favouring strokemakers 

throughout, only 19 

wickets fell in five days. 

Opener Mark Richardson created 

an unwanted footnote when 

he was the first victim when 

bowled by Saqlain Mushtaq for 

46. 

“It got a bit of a bad rap because 

there was nothing in it, it 

was too flat,” remembered then 

groundsman Chris Lewis. 

However, 12 months later 

the pitch played its part in an 

enthralling test with England, 

as Nathan Astle slammed the 

fastest-ever test double ton from 

153 balls. 

Ultimately the Cantabrian’s 

rollicking 222 (168 balls) was in 

vain New Zealand were 98 runs 

short of their victory target. 

Lewis has fonder memories of 

that encounter after producing 

a green top for Chris Cairns, 

Ian Butler and debutant Chris 

Drum. 

“There was lots of grass, lots 

of movement and carry. It had 

all the excitement and drama . 

. . it was an all-round great test 

match,” Lewis said. 

New Zealand also lost to Australia 

by nine wickets in 2005 

and the following summer the 

last test was staged at the ground, 

a five-wicket win over Sri Lanka. 

Lewis was proud the drop-in 

pitch was produced locally, a 

portable wicket used in the 

series opener at Eden Park was 

imported from Australia. 

Even so, Lewis doubts whether 

a length of the wicket tray frame 

should be preserved at the national 

cricket museum. 

PITCH IMPERFECT: 

The first New 

Zealand-made 

drop-in test wicket 

now gives no 

indication of its role 

in cricket history 

at Lancaster Park. 

Mathew Sinclair 

(left) crafted an 

unbeaten 204 on 

the surface’s debut 

while Nathan Astle 

slammed test 

cricket’s fastest 

double ton against 

England the 

following summer. 

“I wouldn’t think so,” he said. 

“Not many people would give 

a toss.”

Umbrella! * 

Canterbury was one of the most 

serious, and colourful, moments 

in the regional council’s more than 

30-year history. 

A year ago this Saturday, 

at 11.49am, Environment 

Canterbury became New Zealand’s 

first council to proclaim such an 

emergency, formally dedicating 

itself to consideration of climate 

change at the heart of all it does. 

The declaration highlighted 

that all the work Environment 

Canterbury does – from 

freshwater management to 

biodiversity and biosecurity, 

transport and urban development 

to air quality, and also regional 

leadership NOW! – has a climate change 

focus. 

Currently, under the Resource 

Management Act, regional 

councils are required only to adapt 

to climate change, not mitigate 

it – that responsibility is the 

Government’s, but could change. 

Even in ‘adapt mode’ many 

of Environment Canterbury’s 

existing policies and plans already 

contribute to reduced emissions. 

In declaring the climate 

emergency, the Council noted it 

would continue to show leadership 

on climate-change and do so 

without adding new programmes 

at ratepayers’ expense. It also gave 

staff a clear mandate to continue

and enhance that work. 

That work included setting 

up a climate-change integration 

programme in the Long-term Plan 

2018-28, ensuring climate change 

was actively considered across 

workstreams, increasing visibility 

of the science and what we know 

about the impact of climate 

change on Canterbury, and liaising 

on the issue with iwi and regional 

partners, other local authorities 

and central government. 

As an organisation, we have 

also made significant progress in 

addressing our own greenhousegas 

emissions, with our

by 2022. Carbon emissions from 

air travel across the organisation 

are offset via our own biodiversity 

programmes. 

According to a Madworld report

removals of 7883 tonnes of CO2-

efforts and from forestry planting 

across 2700 hectares. 

The changing climate will pose 

many risks to life and livelihood 

in Canterbury. In recent years 

we have seen how occasional, 

but extreme, weather events have 

had huge effects on residents and 

infrastructure around the South 

Island. 

The driest parts of our region, 

along the Marlborough coast and 

across much of the Canterbury 

Plains, are expected to get even 

drier. North-westerly storms are 

predicted to become more intense, 

with torrential alpine rainstorms 

turning our braided rivers into 

roaring rapids, fuelling landslides 

and causing widespread erosion. 

Canterbury’s coastal 

communities will be threatened 

our productive and protected land 

jeopardised by the arrival and 

spread of new, exotic weeds and 

pests from warmer climates. 

All these eventualities have 

to be planned and prepared for, 

and Environment Canterbury 

will remain in the vanguard of 

these climate change efforts. 

One example is the $40 million 

Waimakariri River flood 

protection project, completed 

late last year. The network of 

floodgates and stopbanks will 

protect half a million people and 

$8 billion of community and 

business assets from a possible 

“super flood”. 

The last major flood was in 

December 1957, when parts 

of Coutts Island in Belfast and 

Kainga were swamped by river 

flow peaking at 3990 cubic 

metres per second (cumecs). 

The protection scheme has been 

designed to defend Christchurch 

from a flood of as much as 6500 

cumecs. 

Environment Canterbury’s 

leadership of biodiversity and 

biosecurity programmes is also 

underpinned by climate-change 

concerns. 

Canterbury’s distinct braided 

rivers and unique wetlands face 

many challenges. The rivers form 

a vital ecological link and provide

When my predecessor Steve 

Lowndes retired as chair of 

this council late last year, he 

highlighted some of the big 

changes on the way. He was 

optimistic we would be able to 

deal with the “pressing issues” of 

climate change and sustainability. 

I share his confidence. As a 

community, and as a council, 

we are taking some bold steps to 

ensure we are in a better place to 

cope with the changing climate 

and the tests it will set us. But 

there will always be a need to do 

more.

OPINION 

ALL OUR investment in flood 

management over the past few 

years was tested last weekend 

and the beginning of this week. 

I will never forget standing 

knee-high in people’s properties 

in 2014 and then again in 2017. 

It was a different experience this 

time. We had a lot of flooding 

around the Heathcote River and 

with a pump failure on Hulverstone 

Drive, several side streets 

off Avonside Drive were flooded 

as well. However, even in these 

areas the floor levels in people’s 

houses weren’t breached. 

As I said to the media, it 

was so gratifying to see all the 

systems working in the Flockton

area. As I was writing this in the 

council cafe, a Flockton resident 

approached me to say thank you. 

It was a big investment, but it has 

paid off. 

The other major investment 

has been at the top of the Heathcote 

River with the stormwater 

retention basins that still had

the storm. 

The extreme weather warning 

that we received enabled all the 

teams to get pumps deployed 

and to clear the drains. A big 

thank you to the residents who 

also lent a hand. It really makes a 

difference. 

Now my gripe. What kind of 

idiot moves road cones so they

can drive through a closed road 

and then drives at a speed that 

produces a bow wave without 

any thought to the impact on 

people’s properties? 

Finally, a big thanks to those 


who were up before dawn and 

not home until after dark, 

responding to all the challenges 

the weather and the king tide 

threw our way. 

Love your work! 

FIRST-TIME garlic grower? 

Don’t fret growing garlic is 

pretty easy, all you need is good 

seedlings and great soil and you’re 

away. 

Garlic season is from April 

to July, but the traditional day 

to plant garlic is on June 21, the 

shortest day of the year and ready 

to be harvested on the longest day 

of the year, December 21. 

Garlic grows best in friable soil. 

Friable soil is soil that is “crumbly” 

in texture and is somewhere 

between clay and sand, when 

your press the soil it should make 

a lump but it’s easy to break 

down. 

This type of soil is important 

for garlic since it holds up to 15 

times its water and prevents soil 

erosion. 

Tips to get planting 

1 Pick a spot in your garden 

that receives full sun but also part 

shade and make sure where you’re 

planting has good air circulation 

2 Plant in well-drained, fertilised 

bed 

3 Position bulb 2cm below the 

soil surface 

4 Plant 15cm apart 

5 Keep well weeded 

6 Harvest usually in late 

December or early Jan when the 

leaves die away 

7 Store in an airy dry place out 

of the sun and rain 

Once you’ve planted your garlic, 

keep an eye out for rust. 

Rust is a fungal disease that 

won’t cause much damage to established 

bulbs but unfortunately, 

won’t be ideal for your seedlings. 

So, to avoid that happening we 

recommend getting your garlic 

plants in as early as possible. and 

if you had rust in the last two 

to three years on your garlic or 

onions, make sure you plant them 

in a different spot this year. 

Be sure to keep feeding your 

garlic, we recommend organic 

seaweed as it encourages larger 

bulbs and protects the roots of 

your plant from temperature fluctuations 

as well as strengthens the 

HEALTHY: Plant garlic bulbs 15cm apart in 

well-drained, fertilised beds. 

plant against pests and diseases. 

If you find your garlic has rust, 

chop off the infected leaves as 

soon as you spot rust and discard 

them in the rubbish – not your 

compost bin as this will spread 

the infection. 

Also, give your hands, clothes 

and gardening tools that might 

have come into contact with the 

fungus a good wash. 

Companion planting can also 

help prevent diseases. Plant your 

garlic with carrots, beets, kale, 

kohlrabi, roses, marigolds and 

geraniums. 

Avoid planting asparagus, 

beans, sage and peas with your 

garlic seedlings as this could stunt 

their growth. 

Are you ready to grow? 

For real kiwi gardeners who like 

to get their hands dirty.

Science for all ages on show in Dunedin 

THE NEW Zealand International 

Science Festival returns to 

Dunedin for 2021 with a 

programme jam-packed with 

over 100 events, and 250 sessions 

over the 10-day event. 

The festival, which takes place 

during the July school holidays 

(July 8 to 18) offers something 

for every age group, from the 

very young to the more mature 

audience. 

Big Science Show with Amadeo 

returns for the first weekend 

of the festival. Expect the usual 

bangs, pops, thrills and spills 

which are a traditional part of the 

always popular festival event. This 

year, the festival has engaged local 

comedian and playwright Abby 

Howells to write the show, and 

Alex Wilson to direct. 

The festival is excited to present 

Our Moon: Then Now and 

Beyond, an installation artwork 

by British artist Luke Jarrem. The 

work, a 4m diameter inflatable 

sphere with a hi-resolution NASA 

photograph of our moon will be 

suspended inside Hanover Hall 

for the second half of the festival. 

The moon will play host to a 

number of other events, such as 

yoga, the Space Frontiers exhibition, 

story time for children, and 

much more. 

The festival is very excited to 

announce that Tiny Ruins’ Hollie 

Fullbrook will perform a very 

special solo show underneath 

Luke Jarrem’s moon sculpture. 

Celebrating the 10th-anniversary 

of her debut album Some were 

meant for Sea, the celebrated 

New Zealand songwriter will 

play an intimate show directly 

underneath the massive glowing 

sculpture, in the ambient setting 

of Hanover Hall after dark. 

The CODE Virtual Reality & 

Gaming Centre will transport attendees 

to other worlds. The gentre 

has proven extremely popular 

in the past, offering the public the 

opportunity to experience the latest 

in virtual reality technology. 

This time the centre will be 

located in the old Aotea Gifts 

shop at 19 George St, as a part of 

the science festival trail, a walking 

trail leading to festival hubs and 

venues all within a 20min walk of 

the Octagon. 

On the opening night, the 

festival presents Science in the 

Spotlight, a fireside chat between 

festival patron Helen Anderson, 

the prime minister’s chief science 

adviser Dame Juliet Gerrard, and 

the chair of the climate change 

commission Rod Carr. 

The panel will discuss the challenges 

faced by climate change, as 

well as the massive leaps forward 

that science is currently making 

and those that science will need 

to make, in order to tackle our 

future. 

The festival is reimagining 

play with the imagination playground, 

where children can 

build and engineer their own 

structures with giant blue building 

blocks. The municipal chambers 

will play host to imagination 

playground, which will mark 

the starting point of the festival’s 

walking trail. 

Open now as a part of a series 

of lead-up events, Slice of Life: 

The World Famous Dunedin 

Study provides an overview of the 

Dunedin Study, it’s methods, and 

its major findings and celebrates 

the lives of the study members. 

The exhibition is open 10am- 

4pm every day leading up to 

and through the festival at 375 

Andersons Bay Rd. 

All of these events and the 

full festival programme of over 

100 events is available now, and 

tickets are available at scifest.org.

SENIORS’ LIVING LIFE 

New solution for a 

better nights sleep 

and improved health! 

Deep regenerative sleep is 

so important to feeling and 

performing our best. A lack of or 

poor quality sleep is associated 

with increased risk for many 

chronic diseases, including obesity, 

type 2 diabetes, heart disease, 

depression, and many more. 

Unfortunately many adults report 

occasional bouts of insomnia with 

one in three saying they suffer from 

sleeplessness or disturbed sleep on 

a more chronic basis, to the point 

that it regularly impairs daytime 

functioning. 

The good news is an inexpensive, 

naturally occurring amino acid 

known as glycine has been clinically 

researched in Japan and shown to 

be highly beneficial in supporting 

healthy sleep. Subjects who were 

given three grams of glycine one hour 

before bedtime fell asleep much sooner, 

as well as exhibited brainwave patterns 

associated with deep sleep compared to 

control subjects who did not supplement. 

On waking the subjects who took the 

glycine woke reporting being refreshed 

with no indication that glycine produced 

a “morning hangover” or any foggy 

feeling common with those who use 

prescription sleeping medication. 

Glycine is known to accumulate in the 

pineal gland and is believed to play and 

important role in “disconnecting” the 

brain from the body during REM (rapid 

eye movement) sleep cycles. Glycine also 

supports healthy growth hormone (GH) 

secretion that is associated with strength, 

good health and vitality whereas low 

secretion of GH is associated with 

advanced ageing and increased disease. 

Other clinical research has shown 

glycine supplementation to improve 

memory and attention in young to older 

adults. 

Spanish researchers have studied the 

effect of glycine supplementation in 

600 subjects between the ages of 4 and 

85 years suffering from osteoarthritis, 

osteoporosis or physical injuries. 

Participants were given 5 grams of 

glycine in the morning and 5 grams 

in the evening. In all cases symptoms 

significantly improved. 

Glycine is a very safe amino acid 

that appears to be highly beneficial for 

a quality sleep as well as general good 

health. 

NOW supplements only use a natural 

pharmaceutical grade, free form glycine 

that is also suitable for vegetarians 

and vegans. NOW operate one of the 

most advanced private laboratories 

and production facilities in the natural 

products industry. They promise they 

take every possible step to ensure the 

safety and efficacy of every product they 

produce. At Marshall’s we know you 

are buying the best products available 

anywhere when you buy the NOW

Glycine and further information 

is available from the natural health 

specialists at Marshall’s Health & 

Natural Therapy, 101 Seaview Road, 

New Brighton, Ph: 388-5757. We are 

always happy to help! 

NEED A BETTER 

NIGHTS SLEEP? 

Sleep is so important to feeling and performing our best. Long 

term poor quality sleep is associated with many chronic diseases 

and may even reduce our life span. New clinical research has 

found a naturally occurring amino acid known as glycine may 

restore a good night’s sleep. Japanese researchers found 

patients taking glycine fell asleep much sooner and exhibited 

brainwave patterns associated with deep sleep. On waking 

the patients woke refreshed, clear minded and energetic. 

Glycine supports: 

• Restful deep sleep 

• Going to sleep quickly 

• Staying asleep 

• Waking refreshed and clear 

minded 

• Nervous system support, has 

a calming effect reducing 

anxiety and panic attacks

Golden Healthcare 

Group scoops awards 

Our three local Golden Healthcare 

Group Rest Homes took out the 

Safety Star Award, Ace of Initiative 

Award, Inspiring Leader of the Year 

and Excellent Clinician of the Year at 

the Prestige Awards in Wellington. 

Staff from over 48 Care Homes 

and Villages from Heritage Lifecare 

throughout New Zealand gathered to 

celebrate their achievements despite a 

challenging 2020. 

Hoon Hay’s Leslie Doubouzet was 

awarded Inspiring Leader of the Year, 

overseeing all three sites. 

She was awarded for her 

precise and impeccable approach, 

empowering her teams to take the 

lead and to think critically, while 

championing clinical excellence with 

everyday mentoring. 

Leslie says she was overwhelmed 

and humbled to win the award. 

“During such challenging times last 

year, I wasn’t even aware that I was 

leading. I just jumped in and worked 

on collaboration and making sure 

everyone was on the same page and 

felt supported. I guess the leadership 

just came naturally as a part of that,” 

she says. 

Marie Jones was awarded the 

Excellent Clinician of the Year Award. 

Marie is a Senior Registered Nurse 

Golden Age, leading Registered 

Nurses and Care staff across three 

facilities. 

Marie says she was completely 

overwhelmed and emotional at the 

awards night. “To be acknowledged 

and rewarded for what I do on a daily 

basis just took my breath away. I’ve 

never won so much as a raffle ticket 

before,” she says. 

That acknowledgement was 

for being an exceptionally skilled 

clinician and inspiring leader 

who goes the extra mile to bring a 

comforting voice to those in need. 

Somerfield Rest Home picked up 

the Safety Star Award and the Ace of 

Initiative Awards. 

Somerfield Manager, Sue, says they 

were shocked to win both awards. 

“We’re like a family here and it was 

just so fantastic to be recognised for 

all the hard work we’d done in the last 

year,” she says. 

They received the Safety Star Award 

by reducing falls in the dining area by 

a whopping 73 percent. 

The solutions were to replace 

square tables with round ones, 

change table lay outs, enhance the 

residents exercise programme and 

ensure enough staff were always at 

hand. “It was all simple stuff really 

and all about working together,” says 

Sue. 

The Ace of Initiatives Award was 

for two initiatives. 

“Our kitchen team started an 

initiative to improve the visual 

presentation of the food for their 

dementia residents by using food 

moulds.” 

The initiative not only improved 

resident’s weight levels but also 

improved residents’ dignity and 

respect. “It’s now embedded into our 

action plan,” says Sue. 

In addition, the Care staff and 

Diversional Therapist introduced a 

music therapy programme which is 

used to manage residents’ depression, 

isolation, behavioural and mobility 

challenges. The programme is 

proving positive, with staff referring 

to music therapy to manage 

challenging behaviours before 

considering the use of medication. 

Says Sue, “We already had music, but 

this programme took it to the next 

level.”

Puma ready to pounce 

By Ross Kiddie 

While the sport utility market is 

ever-expanding, the cars within it 

are shrinking. 

Ford’s newcomer into that 

segment is the Puma, a cheeky, 

squat SUV that is bulbous and 

well rounded; if you think 

Nissan Juke then the two aren’t 

dissimilar, although my son likens 

the front of the Puma’s design, 

especially the way the lights are 

angled, to Porsche’s Macan. 

Of course, the Puma is built for 

a completely different market, it 

will attract a wide cross-section 

of buyers, those from the younger 

generation who like its trendy 

style, right through to those in 

retirement who will benefit from 

its ease of access and easy-todrive 

characteristics. 

Sitting at just 4.2mm, the 

Puma is a compact five-seater, 

but there’s good load space so 

that the belongings we tend to 

carry with us can be adequately 

stored. Ford claims a 410-litre 

load space capacity extending to 

1170-litres if the rear seats are 

folded forward. 

At the other end sits a 999cc 

three-cylinder turbocharged 

engine. 

This configuration is somewhat 

the direction Ford has been 

travelling in lately – no pun 

intended. Some Focus models 

have three-cylinder engines, and 

I’m sure as other models come 

through, so will engines of this 

size be utilised. 

Even though it is just 1-litre, the 

Puma’s unit is quite feisty. Ford 

rate it with healthy power outputs 

of 92kW and 170Nm, as is the 

case with most new-generation 

turbo units, it has strong midrange 

performance, the torque 

figure is broad, being available 

all of the way from 1400rpm to 

4500rpm. 

Adding in the proximity of 

ratios through a seven-speed 

automatic transmission means 

there is little chance of the engine 

going off-boost during the 

acceleration process. 

The Puma lands in two 

specification variants. The 

evaluation car was the ST-Line 

model which lands at $37,990, the 

base model car lists at $34,990 

and shouldn’t be dismissed, it too 

has all of the features which make 

today’s modern car so appealing 

The ST-Line Puma is 

recognised by its high level of 

fitment even though cloth trim 

greets the occupants. The seat 

fabric has red stitching which 

fits with the ST (sport tuned) 

specification. Satellite navigation 

is fitted along with Apple CarPlay 

and Android Auto connectivity, 

keyless entry and ignition, voice 

control and wireless mobile 

phone charging. It also gets 

• Price – Ford Puma ST-Line, 

$37,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4186mm; width, 1805mm; 

height, 1550mm 

• Configuration – Threecylinder, 

front-wheel-drive, 

999cc, 92kW, 170Nm, 

seven-speed automatic 

• Performance – 0-100km/h, 

11sec 

• Fuel usage – 5.3l/100km 

adaptive cruise control which is 

part of a five-star Australasian 

New Car Assessment Program 

safety rating, the Puma is 

chock full of the electronic and 

mechanical functions that keep 

you safe in the first instance and 

to protect you in a collision. 

The Puma is built in 

Romania, it shares many of 

the characteristics which make 

European Fords so desirable, 

especially so with the way it feels 

connected to the road and the 

associated satisfaction you get as 

a driver. 

Sure, the power outputs are 

such that the Puma will never 

set the world alight with its 

acceleration or speed, but it 

handles beautifully, a lot of 

that is attributable to the sport 

suspension settings. However, 

don’t be put off, ST specification 

doesn’t mean a hard ride, I still 

rate in-cabin comfort as perfectly 

acceptable and, of course, the 

base model Puma has standard 

spring and damper rates. 

Three-cylinder engines are 

generally built to enhance 

economy and lower emissions. 

That can certainly be said for 

the Puma’s unit, with little in 

the way of reciprocating mass it 

contributes to the light weight of 

the car in total (1285kg). 

That being the case, there are 

fairly healthy fuel usage figures 

to report. Ford claim up to 

5.3l/100km can be achieved on a 

combined cycle average. 

My time in the evaluation car 

consisted of several suburb to city 

commutes and a long highway 

excursion. The fuel usage readout 

was listing at 6.4l/100km when I 

took the car back to the Sockburn 

dealership. At 100km/h the 

readout sits at 4.4l/100km, the 

engine spinning over gently at 

just 2000rpm in seventh gear. 

The Puma is effectively a 

replacement for the popular Ford 

EcoSport. That car sold well in 

New Zealand, it’s my guess the 

Puma will pick up where the 

EcoSport left off.

Trusts act 2019 – time to act 

The Trusts Act 2019 came into effect on 

30th January 2021. The 18 month delay 

from when the Act was passed to allow 

time for settlors, trustees and advisors to 

familiarise themselves with the changes 

and requirements and review their trust is 

nearly up. If you have not already started 

your review then put it on your reading 

list for this winter. 

While there are many new provisions 

in the new Act, the main ones that will be 

of interest to trustees are the setting out 

of the mandatory and default duties of 

trustees, the core documents to be held by 

trustees 

and the 

information 

that is required 

to be provided to 

beneficiaries. 

Trustees are required to know 

the terms of the trust and act 

honestly and in good faith in 

accordance with the terms 

and to be actively involved with the 

management of the trust. While this was 

always expected, it was not set out in the 

legislation before and so possibly not well 

understood by people when they agreed to 

become a trustee on a trust. 

All trustees must hold copies of the core 

trust documents, the trust deed and any 

variations made to the trust deed, and at 

least one trustee must hold all the trust 

documents, including records of assets, 

minutes and financial records. For some 

existing trusts those documents might be 

missing, spread across several lawyers and 

accountants, or not exist at all. It is time 

to now locate and gather these deeds and 

records. 

The new Act includes a presumption 

that basic trust information (the fact 

that they are a beneficiary and who the 

trustees are) must be made available to 

every beneficiary. Beneficiaries are also 

to be made aware that they are able to 

request additional trust information. 

This may possibly pose the biggest 

challenge for many settlors and trustees. 

However this presumption as to the 

supply of information is qualified by 

certain considerations that trustees may 

take account of in deciding what, if any, 

information to provide. 

Many family trusts were set up with 

a wide class of beneficiaries including 

the nieces and nephews and partners of 

beneficiaries in addition to the settlors 

and their children and grandchildren. It 

may never have been intended that most 

of these beneficiaries would ever receive 

a benefit under the trust but they were 

included as possible recipients. If your 

trust deed allows a change to beneficiaries 

this should be included in your review 

now. 

At Harmans we have a team with 

specialist knowledge available to 

provide you with legal advice about your 

trust. You can contact Phillipa Shaw at 

Harmans on 03 352 2293 to arrange an 

appointment to discuss this.

BIG CLUB MATCH-UPS THIS WEEKEND 

Chance for rugby, league teams to regroup 


THEY MIGHT not be soaring, 

but buoyed by being named the 

province’s outstanding sports 

club of the year, the Canterbury 

Rugby League premiership improvers 

have pulled off another 

valuable win. 

The day after being honoured 

at the annual Sport Canterbury 

awards, the Eastern Eagles recorded 

their third victory of the 

season, a 20-18 margin over the 

Celebration Lions on Saturday. 

Winless after the opening four 

games, the Eagles are now well 

clear of bottom-placed Papanui 

and are just two points out of the 

top-four. 

They also avenged a campaignlaunching 

40-10 loss to the Lions, 

turning the tables to record their 

third triumph in four weeks. 

The Eagles led 20-10 at halftime 

at Ngā Puna Wai before 

holding off a second half rally 

by the Lions, who have now lost 

four in a row. 

“The team is finding that inner 

drive to win against all odds. It’s 

that hearty east side mentality,” 

club president Zion Tauamiti 

said. 

The 36-year-old is one of 

several veterans coaxed out of 

retirement to ensure the team 

has not had to default. 

“It’s been really bad with our 

numbers. We’ve had to call on 

some players that had retired and 

guys have answered the call and 

played their hearts out,” he said. 

While the Eagles are on an 

upward swing, Linwood, leaders 

Hornby and Halswell solidified 

their play-off plans with convincing 

wins. 

Undefeated Hornby bounced 

back from a stalemate with 

Halswell with a 22-6 win over 

Riccarton, where father and son 

combination Corey and Jayton 

Lawrie were among the Panthers 

four try scorers headed by James 

Baxendale’s double. 

Linwood claimed the second 

instalment of last year’s grand 

final rematch with the Northern 

Bulldogs to ensure Andrew 

Auimatagi celebrated his 150th 

game for the club in style. 

The Keas racked up six tries to 

spike the Bulldogs’ three-match

a 52-0 drubbing of Burnside 

enabled them to overhaul last

on points differential. 

Lincoln University dropped

have bounced back through their 

biggest winning margin of the 

season. 

Burnside had been second on 

the standings but slipped to fifth 

ahead of this weekend’s break. 

A Garbhan Coughlan hat-trick 

enabled the Cashmere Technical 

striker to lead the Mainland 

Football premiership’s goal scoring

SPORT 35 

Dobson set to continue on winning way 

• By Brad Reid 

IAN DOBSON has had more 

than his fair share of success 

when it comes to premier race 

meetings at Addington Raceway. 

It started in the 1990s with the 

Smooth Fella mare, Jam Cover 

Girl, named after the business 

that allowed Dobson to get 

heavily involved in the sport that 

is his passion. 

What transpired was a golden 

run for more than two decades 

through the deeds of the great 

Christian Cullen, Mainland 

Banner and Gotta Go Cullen. 

For a man who has seen it all, 

you get the sense his current run 

of golden results means as much 

to him as those 20 years ago and 

they are also providing him with 

many firsts in the sport as well. 

On a cold winter’s night six 

weeks ago at Addington, Dobson 

won his first Group One race as a 

breeder, when Muscle Mountain 

and Ben Hope combined to 

down Sundees Son in the NZ 

Trotting Championship. 

“It was just fabulous,” said 

Dobson. 

“I’ve won a lot of races as you 

would know, but the way he won, 

running down the best trotter in 

the country, was something that 

is pretty hard to put in words. 

“Being Ben’s first Group One 

as well made for a special night. 

I don’t have too many late ones 

now at my age but it’s fair to say 

we had a late night after that,” he 

said. 

It had been a while between 

drinks with Little Rascal 

being his most recent Group 

performer, but you have to go 

back as far as Joyfuljoy winning 

the Three-Year-Old Diamond in 

2009 to find his last Group One 

win as an owner. 

Dobson’s involvement might 

not be what it once was, but it’s 

hardly like his investment in the 

sport has ceased. 

If anything, it shows how hard 

it is to not only get to the top 

in this sport as a breeder and 

owner, but to stay there requires 

all sorts of good fortune not 

often accounted for in balance 

sheets. 

Some of that good fortune 

came early last year when he 

received a phone call from the 

champion horseman, Mark 

Purdon. 

“He called me and said he had 

a yearling that he really liked 

and would I like to be involved. 

I looked into the pedigree and 

liked what I saw. A Bettor’s 

Delight out of a Christian Cullen 

mare.” Dobson wound up taking 

a three-quarter share in the 

pacer named Akuta. 

The son of Bettor’s Delight out 

of the unraced Christian Cullen 

mare Adore To Our Dreams 

won on debut in the Group 

Three Kindergarten Stakes at 

Wyndham, he only did what he 

had to after leading up in a 1:59.5 

mile rate leaving some pundits a 

little under-whelmed. 

Akuta was then beaten on 

his merits a week later in the 

Welcome Stakes then secondrated 

a full field of yearling sales 

graduates in the NZB Harness 

Millions final for two-year-old 

colts and geldings. 

“Akuta is something else,” 


TOP ACHIEVEMENT: Muscle Mountain wins the Group 

One New Zealand Trotting Championship at Addington 

for harness racing veteran Ian Dobson (left). 

PHOTOS: HRNZ 

Dobson said. 

“I think we will see that on 

Jewels Day at Cambridge from 

his good draw. He really is 

something quite special and will 

prove that on Sunday,” he said. 

He headed north paying $1.25 

to win the Hardwood Breeding 

Two-Year-Old Emerald. 

Dobson is now targeting 

another first as he targets two 

Group One winners in a day over 

Queen’s Birthday weekend. 

Akuta’s handy draw means he 

should prove very hard to bowl, 

while Muscle Mountain has 

also fared better than his main 

rival in the 4YO Ruby, Bolt For 

Brilliance.

RICHIE MO’UNGA takes 

a well-earned break as the 

Crusaders juggle the workloads 

of their stars with the need 

to secure a convincing win 

over the Western Force in the 

penultimate round of Super 

Rugby Trans-Tasman. 

After squandering a tryscoring 

bonus point with a 

sloppy finish to the opening 

round clash with the Brumbies, 

the Crusaders need maximum 

points tomorrow night at 

Orangetheory Stadium and the 

Blues or Hurricanes to drop 

points, or lose. 

The Reds also host the Blues 

tomorrow night while the Hurricanes 

play the Brumbies in 

Canberra on Saturday. 

Both New Zealand teams have 

the maximum 15 points, one 

clear of the Crusaders. 

Mo’unga had been prominent 

in each of the Crusaders 12 

matches this season, with the 

week off scheduled in advance 

to give Burke an opportunity to 

develop as a playmaker. 


Mo’unga rested for clash against Western Force 

David Havili returns to the 

starting line-up outside Burke to 

guide him when required. 

Sam Whitelock was also 

missing from the 23-man squad 

after the ageless lock came off 

the bench in the last weekend’s 

win over the Waratahs in Wollongong. 

First choice loosehead prop 

George Bower will also be in 

the stands, enabling imposing 

rookie Tamaiti Williams starts 

for the first time. 

Flanker Ethan Blackadder 

is still unavailable after being 

concussed against the Reds on 

May 22. 

Fringe and back-up players populate 

the bench with developing 

prop Isileli Tu’ungafasi, veteran 

lock Luke Romano and Scotlandbound 

outside back Josh McKay in 

line for rare game time. 

In other matches the Highlanders 

and Chiefs need to win 

against the Waratahs and Rebels 

respectively, while other results 

need to fall their way to make 

the June 19 final.

Full steam ahead for Kia’s Stonic 

MOST NEW car distributors 

these days will tell you supply 

is awkward due to the ongoing 

effects of Covid-19 and shipping 

delays. 

Production of semi-conductors 

and other electronic componentry 

is well below demand and 

that has meant headaches for 

the automobile industry. Due 

to shortages of these products, 

manufacturers simply can’t build 

enough cars, and sales are also 

on the rise which compounds the 

situation. 

One company that is weathering 

the storm relatively well is 

Kia, and Kia in New Zealand is 

maintaining good market position. 

A lot of that has to do with 

the introduction of the Stonic, a 

small sport utility vehicle that has 

often topped sales in that part of 

the market. I guess that is helped 

a little by the withdrawal of the 

Sportage due to supply issues, a 

wait for the Sportage will mean 

that when the new generation 

model lands here later in the year, 

forward orders will buy you into 

that variant. 

That aside, the Stonic joins a 

multitude of small SUVs that 

have landed recently including 

Ford’s Puma, Toyota’s Yaris Cross 

and a revamped Suzuki Ignis, to 

name just some. 

The Stonic lands here in five 

variants with two engine options. 

The range starts at $22,990 for the 

base model LX with a 1.4-litre, 

four-cylinder engine, an extra $5k 

will buy you into a mid-range EX 

while the Limited specification 

model, as tested, lands at $29,990. 

In contrast, there’s the option of 

a three-cylinder turbocharged 

1-litre GT Line unit that lists 

at $31,990, and a GT Line+ at 

$33,990. 

If these driveline options look 

familiar, yes, they are pretty much 

as what is specified for the Rio 

range. The Stonic is based on the 

Rio platform, yet it has higher 

ground clearance and it is taller. 

That’s why it slots into the SUV 

category, it also has a chubby, 

muscular, wagon-type body style. 

Bear in mind though, the Stonic 

is just front-wheel-drive, it’s 

not a vehicle designed for crosscountry 

travel but it does serve its 

design concept well, it is an urban 

commuter and exudes capable 

highway travel. It will also satisfy 

in an everyday role, access is easy, 

and for someone with old bones 

like mine, that is important, along 

with a comfortable ride. 

Coming from the modern 

Korean factories, the Stonic 

is chock-full of specification 

although there is one minor 

omission in the Limited model 

that would have me looking at the 

mid-spec LX for purchase. The 

Limited has leather seat coverings 

but there are no seat heaters. 

While I appreciate the cost has 

EASY ACCESS: The Stonic’s elevated ride height makes it 

an attractive purchase for those not so agile. 

KIA STONIC LIMITED: Small sport utility vehicle based on Rio platform. 

been kept down for desirability, 

those seats aren’t inviting when 

a cold Canterbury frost hits. The 

LX has cloth trim. 

Elsewhere, though, there is all 

the kit to satisfy, satellite navigation, 

radar cruise control and a 

raft of safety kit that comes under 

the guise of advanced driver 

assistance systems. There are no 

surprises there, but to say the 

Stonic gets a heap of kit to keep 

you out of trouble and to protect 

you if the worst case scenario 

evolves. 

Under the bonnet, the 1.4-litre 

engine and smooth-shifting sixspeed 

automatic transmission are 

all traditional, and that is a good 

thing, I like a little bit of simplicity 

in vehicles and the driveline 

in the Stonic is set-up well for its 

role. 

Kia claims power outputs of 

74kW (6000rpm) and 133Nm 

(4000rpm), even though they are 

generated tall in the rev band the 

engine doesn’t work hard. The 

Stonic weighs in at just under 

1.2-tonne, so there isn’t a lot of 

demand on the engine. Power is 

willing across the rev band and 

it is generated smoothly without 

much fuss. For the record, the 

Stonic in this form will accelerate 

to 100km/h in 11sec and make 

120km/h from 80km/h in 7sec. 

On the subject of figures, 

the four-cylinder Stonic also 

fares well in the fuel usage area. 

• Price – Kia Stonic Limited, 

$29,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4140mm; width, 1760mm; 

height, 1520mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

front-wheeldrive, 

1368cc, 74kW, 

133Nm, six-speed 

automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 11sec 

• Fuel usage – 6.7l/100km 

Kia also claims a 6.7-litre per 

100km/h combined cycle average. 

On my long highway run through 

Mid-Canterbury the instantaneous 

readout was constantly listing 

at around 4.4l/100km (engine 

speed 2400rpm at 100km/h), 

and when I took the evaluation 

car back to the dealership a 

7.2l/100km average was showing 

on the readout. 

On the open road the Stonic 

travels quietly with little wind 

noise and thorough sound-proofing 

underneath.There is a solid 

feel of communication through 

the steering, the high grade 

205/55 x 17in Continental tyres 

send all the right messages to the 

driver and provide direct steering 

accuracy. 

Steering input is quick and 

reactive, while the entire body 

structure feels balanced and controlled 

through the suspension. 

Incidentally, the latter is a 

front-strut/rear-torsion beam 

design. Even though the rear 

wheels are tied together through 

the beam there is just the right 

amount of movement on each 

side to deal with uneven surfaces. 

The spring and damper rates 

are biased towards firm, which 

helps contain gravitational movement, 

but they are not so hard 

that occupant comfort is jeopardised, 

especially in the rear where 

the seats are supportive and 

cocooning. 

Even though the Stonic is 

compact, there is satisfactory leg 

and head room all through the 

model. There are three seat belts 

in the rear and for three adults 

there wouldn’t be too much of a 

squeeze. 

As much as I enjoyed the 

evaluation, I’d like to have a drive 

in the three-potter, I recall that 

engine from the Rio and I can 

report it is absolutely delightful. 

I’m always happy to report 

when a friend buys a new car. 

When the Stonic was destined for 

our market an acquaintance put 

her name down early for one. She 

has since received that car and is 

delighted with the purchase. 

With that type of feedback it’s 

no surprise why Stonic sales are 

elevated, it’s my hope that supply 

is maintained so that others like 

my friend can enjoy an affordable 

and desirable SUV experience.

The pros and cons of 

building sites 

When selecting a building site weigh up your lifestyle, family 

needs and aspirations before signing up for any section. 

Those purchasing early on in the 

development of a subdivision will 

have more choice of section size and 

orientation to the street and sun. As the 

individual sites are sold, there may be 

less availability though this need not be a 

deterrent. With good design any building 

site can be made to work. 

Selwyn has experienced considerable 

growth in recent years. Sub-divisions 

have opened up and been built on, with 

new developments regularly coming on 

stream. Within these, section sizes vary 

from around 400 square metres upwards 

to 5,000 square metres. Lifestyle blocks 

are also scattered around the district. 

The size of the house and amount of 

yard desired will influence the feasibility 

of some building sites as will sun and 

wind direction, bearing in mind that a 

house can be designed to capture the 

sun’s free heat and allow for pleasant 

outdoor areas to enjoy. 

If the street side of the building site is 

north/north west, incorporating fenced 

or planted courtyards can offer private 

places to entertain and bask in the sun. 

Those wanting street presence or keen 

on gardening may prefer a corner section 

and while it might seem they offer less 

privacy, with strategic placement of 

fences quite the opposite can be the case. 

Weigh up your family’s needs in terms 

of the outdoor areas too. Do you want 

play areas for your children? Do you

M: 021 300 567 E: mike@starmedia.kiwi 

have a need for off-street parking for a 

number of vehicles and space for a boat, 

caravan or motorhome, which may need 

to be parked out of site of the street? 

How much lawn or garden do you want? 

Start by identifying housing 

developments that you like and could see 

your family living in. Think also about 

the convenience of shops and other 

amenities, something that may or may 

not be a concern. 

Single out possible sections then talk 

with a designer or builder. Most building 

companies have a good selection of 

standard plans as a starting point and 

they will usually work with a client to 

modify a plan or draw up one that will 

work on a particular building site, whilst 

also containing the components the 

client is seeking within their new home. 

Before signing up for any building 

site, check the Council land zoning and 

recession plane requirements as well as 

covenants for the sub-division. These will 

show not only how far from a boundary 

the house can be sited but also roof 

height, permissible building materials, 

and acceptable types of fencing, as well as 

what can be on view from the street like 

a clothes line, caravan or motorhome. 

Conducting your research first will save
