stand-off 

• By Samantha Mythen 

ARMED POLICE in Lyttelton 

were confronted by a 41-year-old

of suspicious behaviour at the 

house. 

The man then allegedly pointed 

a shotgun at them before retreating 

into the house he had been 

living in. 

Lyttelton Police Sergeant

SPORTS CLUBS can’t 

operate without hard 

working volunteers and good 

administrators. 

The Carlton Redcliffs 

Hockey Club is no different. 

It is one of Canterbury’s 

best run sports clubs, and 

was also recently judged the 

best hockey club in New 

Zealand. And that’s because 

it has all of the qualities mentioned 

above and more. 

Today we profile club president 

Caleb Ballin (page 14) 

who took over the role from 

the legendary Pat Barwick in 

February last year. 

Ballin details his time in 

the sport and at the club, the 

highlights and how family is 

so important. 

Nurturing kids into the 

game and ensuring they can 

afford to play is vital to Ballin 

and Carlton Redcliffs’ sporting 

DNA. 

That makes for a great 

sports club.

THOUSANDS OF daffodils 

are being planted to brighten 

up Lyttelton’s two earthquakedamaged 

cemeteries. 

The city council’s community 

parks manager Al Hardy said 

the council had already planted 

20,000 grand monarch daffodil 

bulbs in the Lyttelton Anglican 

Cemetery and are planting 

20,000 daffodils bulbs in the 

Lyttelton Catholic and Public 

Cemetery this month. 

The bulbs will flower later this 

winter or early spring. 

Hardy said the 40,000 

daffodil bulbs cost $18,000 and 

were funded through the city 

council’s community parks 

green asset renewal programme. 

The daffodil planting initiative 

was proposed by the city 

council’s in-house cemetery 

maintenance team in December 

2019. 

The daffodils will “lift the 

appearance, increase amenity 

value and introduce more colour 

into our cemeteries,” Hardy said. 

There have been 3800 burials 

within both cemeteries and 

95 per cent of the burials are 

classified as heritage which are 

burials dating pre-1950. 

Hardy said the daffodils are 

not being planted to mitigate the 

severe earthquake damage in 

the two cemeteries that have not 

had any repair work from the 

council. 

The city council inspected 

all cemeteries after the 

earthquakes to ensure they were 

in safe condition for visitors. 

Monuments and headstones 

deemed “unsafe” were laid flat 

on the ground, Hardy said. 

Broken monuments, 

headstones and concrete kerbing 

are still lying on the hillsides of 

both Lyttelton cemeteries. 

Veterans’ Affairs deputy head 

Marti Eller said the organisation 

had been in discussion with 

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz 

the city council since 2014 

over repairing the 50 damaged 

soldiers’ graves in the Lyttelton 

Catholic and Public 

Cemetery. 

“Veterans’ Affairs 

has always been ready 

to support the repair of 

the [soldiers’] graves at 

Lyttelton,” she said. 

Lyttelton Reverend John 

McLister said some of 

the graves in the cemeteries had 

been in a “shocking state” since 

the earthquakes. He had been 

concerned for several 

years about the damage to the 

soldiers’ graves. 

Banks Peninsula Community 

Board member Reuben 

Davidson said it was 

“disappointing” that the 

cemeteries were still in a 

state of disrepair and it 

would be good to see a plan 

from the city council on how 

they intend to repair them. 

Banks Peninsula Ward 

city councillor and Deputy 

Mayor Andrew Turner said

was “detailed, specialised

work that needs to be done by 

professionals which means it’s 

not cheap.” 

Turner said the city council 

was constantly reminded by 

communities that they needed to 

be frugal with finances. 

It was about finding the “right 

balance” but said finding a longterm 

solution to repairing the 

cemeteries needed to be found. 

It would require some funds 

to be put on budget by the city 

council “when we’re through 

some of the particular constraints 

we have at the moment.”

Rugby player’s death sparks mental 

• By Matt Slaughter 

TANE HIPANGO’S twin 

brother Tama never talked to 

him or anyone else much about 

his struggles. 

But, these struggles got the 

better of Tama, a Lyttelton Rugby 

Club division four player, in 

December, when 

he succumbed to 

mental illness at 

age 31. 

Now, determined 

to not 

see other club 

Tama 

Hipango 

members suffer 

in silence, committee 

member 

Aaron Stevens 

and coach Joseph Tyro ran a 

workshop on Friday for players 

and coaches to discuss their mental 

struggles and arm them with 

methods to cope. 

The workshop was funded 

by New Zealand Rugby and 

hosted by social worker Kereama 

Carmody. It was part of a pilot 

programme it is hoped may 

expand Canterbury and New 

Zealand-wide. 

Hipango thinks an initiative 

like this may have helped his 

brother through his battle. 

“We would talk not every 

day, but honestly, almost every 

second or third day we’d call on 

the phone, and we would talk 

about kind of nothing. We’d talk 

mostly about rugby, I suppose, to 

be honest, and the last text message 

I got from him was about 

rugby,’’ he said. 

“He never talked to me about 

his feelings. 

“A rugby club is a community 

space for all kinds of people, and 

especially those who are, apparently, 

at risk. It is men, young 

men in that age bracket from all 

kinds of walks of life. Having an 

initiative like that, it brings so 

much hope. It’s the right thing in 

the right place.” 

Hipango said Tama was 

“extremely kind,” “an awesome 

brother” and was loved by his 

family. He wrote poetry in his 

spare time, some of which, in 

hindsight, he believes was about 

his struggles. 

The first time Hipango heard 

Tama was struggling, was from 

Stevens, who helped get Tama to 

hospital just in time to save his 

life after a suspected attempted 

suicide in June. 

Stevens said, at the club’s first 

well-being workshop on Friday, a 

SPEAKING UP: 

Lyttelton Rugby

Stevens and

sessions for club

struggles, after

Hipango lost 

a battle with 

mental illness in 

December.

room of 30 rugby players and 

coaches were asked how many 

had considered suicide and 20 

put their hands up. 

Said Stevens: “[Hearing] people 

that I said were hard men, hardened 

rugby players, openly talking 

about their well-being, I was 

really proud of those boys, eh.” 

Stevens battled anxiety himself, 

after suffering a brain bleed as a 

result of hitting his head during a 

rugby game three years ago. 

“I’d never had anxiety in my 

life, I hadn’t suffered from depression, 

but I banged my head 

and because I had strength and 

weakness around the wrong way, 

I thought being a tough man was 

to [say] it will come right, harden 

up, but it didn’t. 

“The first time I knew I had 

anxiety, I didn’t know what it 

was. I thought I was having a 

stroke . . . I ended up in A&E, 

which resulted in a whole lot of 

other therapy.” 

Tyro, who works in the health 

sector, said his a message for 

rugby players is “it’s okay not to 

be okay.”

He said traditional stereotypes 

about rugby players 

having to be staunch and 

harden up when faced with 

adversity need to change. 

“Concussion is one of 

the big challenges and 

also the stereotypes of 

traditional rugby in the 

days of that culture – you 

don’t talk about your feelings, 

that harden-up kind 

of attitude. We’re trying 

to change that kind of 

stereotype and, usually, 

the alcohol [consumption] 

after games and all that.” 

Tyro said key focus is 

also to help players cope 

with mental challenges 

caused by factors like 

Covid-19, the earthquakes 

and social media. 

Said Christchurch sports 

and clinical psychologist 

Graeme Clarke: “Generally 

males, whether it’s rugby, 

[or] whatever we’re doing, 

in a Kiwi way, we’ve sort 

of have this sense of it’s 

strength to just take care of 

what you’ve got to and get 

on with it.” 

Clarke said its great to 

see Lyttelton Rugby Club 

giving members a platform 

to not suffer alone.

tips for gardening in June! 

NOW is the time to 

plant strawberries! 

Strawberries need to have 

Winter chilling to make 

them fruit better. It is also 

the time to plant rhubarb 

and asparagus. Make 

sure you add compost 

before you plant. 

Fertilize your camellias 

as these will have a 

growth spurt after 

flowering. This is also 

the time to prune your 

roses and your fruit 

trees and plant your lily 

bulbs. 

Most of your garden beds 

will be empty so now is 

a good time to compost 

and plan for when 

weather warms up. 

Indoor plants can be a 

little more difficult over 

Winter especially where 

watering is concerned. 

Water your house 

plants when the potting 

mix is dry. It is easy to 

over water at this time 

of year.

IN SPITE OF the cold 

temperature and rain, about 

100 people dived into Lyttelton 

Harbour on Sunday for a winter 

swim. 

Fifty people, including 25 

children, jumped off Diamond 

Harbour’s wharf as part of the 

Long Distance Swimming Club’s 

mid-winter event. 

Said Diamond Harbour resident 

Michael O’Neill: “It was a 

great dip in the rain.” 

Prior to entering the water, resident 

and founding member of 

the event Mike Hosted discussed 

the International Ice Swimming 

Association’s Ice Mile – known 

as “the ultimate achievement of 

swimming in ice waters.” 

Hosted described the ice mile 

as swimming one mile in water 

of 5 deg C or less, with advice 

from the swimming association, 

“enter the water gradually – do 

not dive in.” 


SHIVERS: Swimmers prepare to enter the water from the Diamond Harbour wharf on Sunday. (Below) – The Naval 

Point Club’s annual Polar Plunge in Lyttelton. 

Swimmers brave cold for winter dip 

He then passed over his own 

advice to the Diamond Harbour 

participants: “Run down the 

wharf, jump off jetty, swim for 

steps, run up steps, drink lots of 

gluhwein. 

“One would have to be bonkers 

to swim a mile in mid-winter,” 

he said. 

At Naval Point, another 50 

hardy people took part in the 

Naval Point Club’s annual Polar 

Plunge, pitching into Lyttelton’s 

surrounding waters. 

The Sumner mid-winter swim 

will be held on July 4. 

Organiser Julie Zarifeh said: 

“The event has a great vibe and 

it is a great, fun thing to do with 

family and friends, engendering 

much positivity. 

“Simply put, it makes you feel 

great,” she said. 

For those eager to participate 

Zarifeh said to meet at the 

Esplanade end of Hardwicke St 

at 11am on July 4.

Incident illustrates 

the dangers 

faced by police 

• From page 1 

He has been remanded in custody 

and will re-appear in court in 

early July. 

The incident took place just two 

days before to the anniversary of 

the death of Constable Matthew 

Hunt who was shot and killed on 

June 19, 2020. 

Hunt was killed during a routine 

traffic stop in Massey, Auckland. 

Another officer was seriously 

injured. 

Eli Bob Sauna Epiha, has been 

accused of killing Hunt and is set 

to stand trial on charges of murder 

and attempted murder at the High 

Court next week. 

Peoples said this and the 

Lyttelton incident illustrates the 

current dangers faced by the 

police. 

“Generally speaking, criminals 

involved in the drug scene are 

known to arm themselves for 

protection against the threat 

of being ‘ripped off’ by other 

criminals. 

“Police are keen to identify 

criminal elements, especially those 

dealing drugs and in possession 

of firearms so that we can remove 

these risks to our community,” 

Peoples said. 

He encourages anyone who 

has information regarding such 

matters to contact the police or to 

make an anonymous report via the 

Crimestoppers website.

Cabbage trees replaced 

TREE WARRIORS: Oliver Lewis and a team of volunteers braved the rain on Sunday to 

plant 24 cabbage trees, replacing the ones that had been poisoned in 2018. 


DRIZZLING RAIN and cold 

weather did not prevent 30 

volunteers from planting more 

than 300 natives and 24 cabbage 

trees along the Coastal Pathway 

on Sunday. 

Oliver Lewis, who has a passion 

for cabbage trees, had set 

up a fundraiser to replace the 

24 that were poisoned along the 

Coastal Pathway in 2018. Nearly 

$800 was raised. 

The person who poisoned the 

trees has never been identified. 

“I’m really happy the trees are 

back in their rightful place and I 

can’t wait to see them mature in 

the years to come,” said Lewis. 

Christchurch Coastal Pathway 

Group chairman Hanno Sander 

said: “The cabbage trees look 

great and I think they will make 

a good addition to the Coastal 

Pathway.” 

The other native plants were 

bought from money raised by 

the Coastal Pathway Group. The 

plants were supplied by Trees 4 

Canterbury. 

“This planting was a wonderful 

demonstration of the passion 

the neighbours of the Coastal 

Pathway have for their area,” said 

Sander. 

Said Lewis: “Lots of passing 

motorists tooted in support, so 

I just hope the groundswell of 

enthusiasm for the project shows 

people who think they can mess 

with public trees that they’re on 

the wrong side of history.” 

Sensors cause 

Dyers Pass delays 


CONTINUING frustration from 

drivers about road works on 

Dyers Pass has resulted in action 

from the city council. 

Added delays to travel times 

over Dyers Pass Rd have been 

caused by road users not activating 

traffic light sensors. 

To address this, city council 

head of transport Lynette Ellis 

said it is adding a painted limit 

line and signage to assist people 

with stopping in the right place, 

so the lights are activated. 

There is also a phone number 

that anyone who has problems 

with the traffic lights can call. 

Governors Bay residents have 

been posting on social media to 

let others know when the traffic 

lights have stalled. 

Ellis said some of the recent 

delays occurred when a rock hit 

and severed a traffic light cable, 

resulting in a complete outage. 

“The traffic management team 

responded to that by getting a 

stop/go system 

operating while 

the lights were 

fixed,” she said. 

Ellis said the 

city council had 

received about 

10 complaints 

Lynette Ellis 

and queries 

about the traffic 

lights since the 

road works began. 

The city council has reinstalled 

electronic signs to remind road 

users of the delays as contractors 

are operating on several longer 

work sites. 

Uncertain future for 

Akaroa’s Yew Cottage 


YEW COTTAGE in Akaroa 

is still set to undergo a full 

restoration, but there is an 

ongoing conversation about its 

long-term future. 

The historic building recently 

flooded during the bad weather. 

In 2019, the Banks Peninsula 

Community Board decided to 

restore the building at 40 Rue 

Jolie and hold on to it, rather 

than sell it after it was restored. 

City council head of parks 

Andrew Rutledge said: “The 

cottage is a good example of a 

period in Akaroa’s history and 

the community board would 

like to retain this part of the 

settlement’s history.” 

He said the community 

board approved the repair of 

Yew Cottage to comply with 

residential tenancy standards, 

which would enable it to be 

leased out as a residential 

dwelling. 

This repair work involves 

lifting the building above flood 

levels. 

However, last Monday, the 

community board discussed 

whether this was still the best 

option for the future as they had 

concerns about the low-lying area 

in which the cottage was situated. 

Community board 

chairwoman Tori Peden said: 

“As the cottage is increasingly 

vulnerable to flooding and 

coastal inundation, we have 

asked the city council to look at 

the situation again and consider 

what is the best option for its 

future.” 

Rutledge said repair work 

has begun to stop the cottage 

from deteriorating, yet the full 

restoration will not be completed 

until the end of 2025 due to 

funding availability. 

The community board has 

requested a new report from 

staff reconsidering the 

cottage’s future.

A STOAT hit squad has been 

established to ramp up efforts 

to make Sumner’s backyard 

predator-free. 

The squad, along with several 

other initiatives have been 

started by Predator Free Sumner 

Bays. 

The group was established in 

2017 after they received funding 

from Predator Free NZ. They 

started with backyard trapping 

in Balmoral Hill through to 

Taylors Mistake, and have now 

extended trapping into local 

reserves. 

One of the group’s 

co-ordinators Paul Cragg said 

members Mike Ryan and Dave 

Evans act as a “hit squad when 

stoats are sighted.” 

Only two stoats have been 

killed so far, but Cragg said they 

are encouraging locals to report 

any stoat sightings so the group 

can keep protecting native birds 

in the area. 

“We are nowhere near elimination 

but we are hopefully 

making a difference,” he said. 

The group’s work has seen 

other success. Two significant 

trap lines on the hillsides above 

Sumner have trapped 250 possums 

over the last two years. 

Cragg said the group, made up 

of Ryan, Evans, James Young, 

David Kerr, Bruce Marks, Sue 

Unsworth and John Goodrich, 

TIM WRAIGHT New Wood For Old Iron 

26 JUNE – 27 JULY 

Exhibition at Little River Gallery 26 June – 27 July 

Tim Wraight is a musician and artist from 

Marahau. He works primarily in carved wood, 

a medium he has loved since childhood. As a 

child he was surrounded by works created by his 

great-great-grandfather John Henry Menzies of 

Menzies Bay on Banks Peninsula. 

In 1990 he was offered the opportunity to train 

with traditional Maori master woodcarver John 

Mutu, who he worked with for the rest of that 

decade. He still works for iwi in the Nelson/ 

Golden Bay region making traditional works for 

their marae and public art installations. 

This has influenced the way he 

works since, and although his 

personal art practice has 

moved away from 

the traditional, the 

methods and way of 

making reflects this 

background. 

The works for this 

show “New Wood 

for Old Iron” at Little 

River Gallery take old 

iron and steel tools 

and gift them new 

intricately carved and 

checks the traps on a daily basis, 

come rain or shine. 

Another trapping team targets 

rats and mice along the Sumner 

Esplanade. 

In the last four years, Phil 

Loughnan and Wyn Mossman 

have trapped more than 150 rats. 

They are not stopping there with 

their next aim to extend the 

trapline as far as Shag Rock, or 

even further into Moncks Bay 

to help protect penguins in the 

area. 

Residents from Ryman 

Healthcare in Rangiora built and 

donated wooden trap tunnels for 

the project. 

Cragg said Barnett Park in 

Redcliffs is the latest reserve to 

decorated handles. This is his way of honouring 

the role these hand tools have shaped our places 

and environments in the past, when hard work 

with simple but effective tools made our places 

and grew our food. It is also a rejection of the 

ease with which we now alter our landscapes 

with massively powerful machinery and the 

damage we can so easily inflict on our fragile 

environment. 

Tim learnt to use these types 

of tools from his grandfather, 

an old-time farmer who also 

lovingly crafted wonderful 

handles for his tools. This 

show also honours those who 

worked with muscle power 

and honed skills to do what 

was needed with these tools 

to sustain their lives.

AN ENVIRONMENTAL group 

is seeking a home in Redcliffs 

to show the owner how they 

can save power and save the 

environment at the same time. 

It is the latest project started 

by the Redcliffs Te Rae Kura Eco 

Village. 

Residents concerned 

about their high 

electricity bills are 

invited to make contact 

with the Eco Village 

Group. 

One house will be 

selected for an energysaving 

workshop, where 

the group will visit and 

complete an energy 

audit, as well as suggest 

measures to reduce energy use in 

the home. 

The goal is to help lower power 

bills and improve the home’s 

health. 

The group was formed under 

the umbrella of the Redcliffs 

Residents Association to guide 

local action on the nationwide 

climate and ecological 

emergency. 

It has created Eco-Kiwi Pledges, 

a handbook for undertaking 

better sustainable living to help 

address climate change and 

ecological damage.

The Clockmaker’s Wife 

by Daisy Wood 

The world is at war. And time is running out… 

London, 1940. Britain is gripped by the terror of the Blitz, forcing 

Nell Spelman to flee the capital with her young daughter – leaving 

behind her husband, Arthur, the clockmaker who keeps Big Ben 

chiming. 

When Arthur disappears, Nell is desperate to find him. But her search 

will lead her into far darker places than she ever imagined… 

New York, Present Day. When Ellie discovers a beautiful watch that 

had once belonged to a grandmother she never knew, she becomes 

determined to find out what happened to her. But as she pieces 

together the fragments of her grandmother’s life, she begins to wonder 

if the past is better left forgotten… 

A powerful and unforgettable tale of fierce love, impossible choices 

and a moment that changes the world forever, perfect for fans of 

Fiona Valpy and Suzanne Kelman.

Workshop a chance to save 

electricity in your home 

Dave Bryce 

The book is separated by 

monthly themes, with energy the 

focus for June. 

Said group co-ordinator 

Dave Bryce: “Reducing home 

energy reduces power bill 

costs, reduces emissions and 

results in a warmer healthier 

home.” 

Bryce suggests making simple 

changes at home to lower 

your energy use, such as 

catching the sun through 

optimising north-facing 

windows, cleaning 

windows and trimming 

trees shading them. 

He has undertaken 

many changes to his 

home to save energy. 

This includes installing 

solar water heating panels on 

the roof, a high efficiency wood 

burner with a wetback for 

the water cylinder heater and 

insulated floor tiles in sun-strike 

areas. 

To make changes in your 

home, Bryce said: “Just do one 

thing at a time and get used to 

the changes and benefits, until 

it becomes a habit and your life 

style is changed for good.”

OUR PEOPLE – CALEB BALLIN 

40 years of hockey and still involved 

Carlton Redcliffs was 

recently awarded New 

Zealand Hockey Club 

of the Year. Samantha 

Mythen talks to 

president Caleb Ballin 

Tell me about your connection 

to Redcliffs? 

I grew up way at the top of 

Moncks Spur, at the back of 

Redcliffs. My first house after I 

got married was in Cashmere, 

but we then worked our way 

around the hills and now we are 

back living in Redcliffs. 

What makes Redcliffs such a 

good place to call home? 

It’s the community and for 

me, being able to see the water 

really makes this area so special. 

There’s also a lot of great people 

here. It feels like home. 

What is your day job? 

I wear a few different hats 

but one of my main roles 

is managing director of a 

nationwide project management 

company that I founded about 

13 years ago. That occupies a 

fair bit of my time and then I’m 

also involved with property 

investment and other bits and 

pieces. My first major job was 

working on the Christchurch Art 

Gallery, I was lucky enough to 

get involved in that when I was 

about 24. 

How would you define 

yourself? 

I look at myself as a hardworking 

person, family focused. 

I love sport and I’d like to think 

I give back to our community, 

such as being involved with 

Sumner Surf Lifesaving over the 

years and more recently Carlton 

Redcliffs Hockey. 

Tell me about your hockey 

journey; you said you started 

when you were a young boy? 

What inspired you to start 

hockey? 

It wasn’t so much something 

that inspired me, but when 

I went to Redcliffs School, at 

the time, you couldn’t really 

do anything but play hockey. 

There were bins full of hockey 

sticks outside the classrooms. 

At lunchtime everyone played 

hockey. It was a unique period 

of time. Redcliffs has since 

produced so many great players 

and coaches that have played at 

the highest level. 

Were there many injuries? 

Oh absolutely. There were no 

mouth guards and shin guards, it 

was just playing on the grass. 

I rolled my ankle playing a lot of 

hockey and so had to get ankle 

reconstruction but other than 

that, touch wood, nothing too 

bad personally. 

Did you ever think of pursuing 

hockey as a sporting career? 

It was always more of a hobby 

for me. I played at a reasonable 

level but I got really busy with 

business and with family. I 

finished up hockey when I was 

quite young, around 23. This is 

an age where most people are 

probably playing hockey in their 

peak. 

SUCCESS: Pat Barwick, Caleb and Miranda Ballin with the New Zealand Hockey Club of the Year trophy. 

(Right) – Caleb Ballin in action at the national masters tournament. 

Instead, I finished up and had 

a bit of a break for five years and 

then got back into it. 

That was quite cool as I had not 

realised how much I had missed 

hockey until I got back into 

playing again. 

How long have you been 

president of the Carlton 

Redcliffs club? 

I started a couple of months 

before Covid-19 hit, around 

February. Pat Barwick, who was 

president for 10 years and has 

given so much to the club, is 

now focusing on what she really 

loves, which is coaching and 

mentoring. So, it was my time to 

put my hand up and give back. 

I joke that Pat took me out for 

coffee one day and I unwittingly 

agreed to become president 

and I don’t quite know how it 

happened, but it did. 

How long have you been a 

member of the club for? 

I started playing for Carlton 

Redcliffs when I was about five, 

so it’s been a few years now, 

probably about 40 on and off. 

Tell me about the club, it’s 

history and it’s members 

The club history goes right 

back to 1928 when the original 

Redcliffs Club was founded. 

More recently, we have 

amalgamated with the Carlton 

Women’s Club forming Carlton 

Redcliffs back in 1996. The 

club has about 350 people as 

members. We are really, really 

lucky with the quality of coaches 

and people in the club. A lot of 

them have played at a high level 

and they’ve come back with their 

children and have given back 

with coaching. I can think of 

three or four who have played for 

the Black Sticks and a number 

of Canterbury reps. The club is 

made of really good people and 

the family focus. 

It makes my job really easy. I’m 

really proud of these people. 

What motivates you as club 

president? 

It’s about giving back to a club 

I am really proud of. I’ve always 

played for this club, I’ve never 

played for anyone else and it was 

a chance to use some of my skills 

in business to help improve the 

club in a number of different 

areas. 

I’ve got four daughters who all 

play hockey and my wife is on 

the club committee, so we are 

deeply involved in hockey. You 

might as well be all in. 

Do you still compete now? 

I’m still playing for the 

masters. I was in the Canterbury 

masters team last year and we 

won the national title which was 

pretty cool. I really enjoyed that. 

I will probably keep playing until 

my body tells me I can’t. 

What has playing hockey 

taught you? 

There are so many parallels 

between sport and what it 

teaches you about life but for me 

in terms of a business context, 

playing in your position and 

doing your job really well is 

something I’ve taken away from 

my time in hockey. 

The idea that in hockey not 

everything goes your way. 

Sometimes you will have a great 

game, other times you won’t 

and you will have to find ways 

to refocus and get back into it – 

that’s like life as well. 

It’s also about the great 

friendships you get from sport 

and also the idea of being 

humble. How you win is just as 

important as how you lose. 

What have been some of 

the highlights of your hockey 

career? 

Some of the things that jump 

out aren’t the games we’ve won 

but rather the friendships you 

make. You get to play when 

you’re younger at a reasonable 

level and then you go back and 

play Masters where you’re still 

playing with some of the people 

you played with 20 years ago 

which is pretty cool. 

What is the most important 

thing to you about who you’ve 

become in terms of your hockey 

playing? 

As a club, and myself 

personally, we are trying to make 

hockey more accessible for kids. 

Not all New Zealanders have the 

opportunity to be able to afford 

to watch their kids play a game. 

But the idea that a family could 

watch their child play a sport 

and be proud of them is such a 

powerful thing. As a club, we 

also have things in place such as 

scholarships, getting kids playing 

who otherwise would not have 

been able to afford to play. This is 

really important to me and to my 

wife and the club as a whole. 

We’ve just taken on several 

players from a lower docile 

school and have provided them 

with equipment and paid their 

fees and got them involved and 

just the look on their faces when 

they got their new uniform and 

new gear, it was so special to see. 

You mentioned your whole 

family is involved in the club, 

tell me more. 

Our weekends are quite busy 

with four games of hockey and 

my daughters have got no choice 

obviously playing for Redcliffs. 

I think they are pretty loyal as 

well, they really enjoy it. I would 

have been happy with them 

playing any sport but if you do 

FAMILY 

AFFAIR: Caleb 

Ballin with 

(from left) 

Lily, Miranda, 

Neve, Willow 

and Mila. 

know a sport as a parent it’s great 

because you can teach them and 

be a part of it. It’s pretty cool. I 

really love the idea of children 

playing sports, there are so many 

good things about it. There was 

of course, a gentle nudge from 

me to play hockey but they have 

to want to play it themselves 

and enjoy it, otherwise it is not 

sustainable. 

Does your wife play hockey? 

No and I think that’s probably 

one of her regrets is actually not 

playing hockey. She absolutely 

loves the game but was a really 

good sprinter at school and rode 

horses. She didn’t really have an 

opportunity to play hockey but 

if she had that time again she 

would have loved to have played 

hockey. She loves watching our 

girls play. 

She plays socially and it’s quite 

funny as the girls give her quite a 

hard time for her skill-set. 

How do you survive these 

early winter mornings playing 

hockey? 

It gets pretty busy on the 

weekends with the different 

games and I also go and watch 

the other teams in the club. 

As a family, we have all just 

committed to hockey and know 

it is absolutely going to take 

over during winter and it just 

becomes a part of your life. So 

winter is very much focused 

on sport and then summer is a 

bit more relaxed, we do more 

surfing. 

Why should people try 

hockey? 

I am obviously biased but I 

do think the first thing is that 

any team sport a child plays is 

fantastic. I think people should 

try hockey though, because the 

game is incredibly skilled. It’s 

fast and you can play it for a long 

time. Like for me, I started as a 

five year old and now I’m still 

playing, which is a really cool 

thing. It is a dynamic, fast, and 

exciting game, and as a team 

sport, there are so many great 

things you can get out of it.

24-hour walk nets 


“IF I CAN save one more 

life, walking for 24 hours is 

nothing.” 

Starting at 7am, last 

Wednesday, Stephen 

McPaike started his walk 

around South Hagley Park, 

clocking up about 104km 

in the name of stopping 

violence against men. 

McPaike’s hopes his 

Walk for Help will raise 

both awareness for men 

who are victims of domestic 

abuse and funds to 

assist in their recovery. 

“My legs are very sore 

and the last lap was the 

most difficult, mentally 

and physically,” he said. 

McPaike was inspired to 

begin this project after a 

man trapped in an abusive 

relationship reached out 

to him during level four 

lockdown. 

“I chose to do a walk 

because it symbolises 

walking out of a bad 

relationship and walking 

into a new and better life,” 

he said. 

McPaike said he was 

greatly supported by his 

employer, Mitre 10 Mega 

Ferrymead. 

As of yesterday, McPaike 

has raised $1410 from the 

walk. 

All money will be donated 

to Canterbury Men’s 

NEWS 17 

over $1400 for a cause 

WALK AGAINST 

VIOLENCE: Stephen 

McPaike spent last 

Wednesday walking 

laps around South 

Hagley Park for 

24 hours to raise 

awareness about 

violence against men.

Centre on Marshland Rd, 

creating a fund for free 

counselling for men who 

have left abusive relationships. 

He is hoping people will 

begin having conversations 

about an issue, “that is just 

not really talked about.” 

“I want people to be able 

to open up and to say: ‘I 

have been abused, I want 

help, I want to be a better 

person’,” said McPaike. 

If you need help, there 

are many resources out 

there including Shine, 

which has a Domestic 

Abuse Helpline (0508 744 

633), seven days a week, 

from 9am to 11pm. 

ARA INSTITUTE OF CANTERBURY 

Is business your calling? 

If you’re a big thinker, a natural leader or a 

born organiser, business could be your perfect 

career choice. 

Ara Institute of Canterbury has a wide 

range of business study options designed to 

equip individuals with the skills needed to 

take advantage of the many opportunities 

available in the business world. Qualifications 

include certificates, diplomas, degrees 

and graduate certificates and diplomas in 

specialties such as project management, sales 

and marketing, accounting, HR and change 

management. 

School leaver Rachel Fraser decided she’d 

love a job in an office environment. She 

studied a diploma in business at Ara and 

now uses the skills and knowledge she gained 

organising appointment bookings for the 

South Canterbury District Health Board. 

She says of the diploma: “It was filled with 

relevant information that directly related to 

the field, as well as skills like communication, 

time management and effective planning 

which I find myself using every day. It was an 

amazing experience.” 

Olivia Smith worked in hospitality for 12 

years before studying a business diploma 

at Ara, specialising in administration and 

technology. “Deciding to study business 

opened up so many opportunities,” she says. 

Olivia did a lot of her learning in a 

simulated office environment. “The tutors 

were amazing - they adapted to each students’ 

learning style. The highlight was realising I’d 

suddenly acquired a massive number of skills 

that I could use every day in all areas of my 

life.” 

Olivia is applying those skills in her role as 

a customer service officer at ACC. “I work in 


the very role I was trained for, and I can do it 

with confidence.” 

Mike Roberts discovered a passion for 

project management while working as a 

software tester. With the support of his 

employer, he studied a graduate diploma 

in project management at Ara where he’d 

previously gained his IT degree. 

Mike says the industry project he 

undertook as part of his postgraduate course 

was a highlight of his studies. “Being able to 

demonstrate your learnings by working in a 

real-world setting is so valuable. It’s a fantastic 

opportunity for students.”

Vaccinations for 

the rest of Aotearoa 

New Zealand 

The COVID-19 vaccination rollout for the general population 

starts from the end of July. 

Our COVID-19 vaccination programme has built momentum 

steadily since February. We are vaccinating around 100,000 

people a week at the moment. In the second half of the year 

we hit top speed and everyone in New Zealand aged 16 and 

over will be able to be vaccinated. 

Moving to the general population 

So far, vaccinations have been made available to those most at 

risk of getting COVID-19 to limit the chances of it getting into the 

wider population. 

With more vaccine supply coming on, and having ramped up our 

infrastructure, vaccinations for everyone else in New Zealand 

aged 16 and over (the general population) start from 28 July. 

This is a very large group of people. To make this flow smoothly, 

we will break this down by age bands. 

All people aged 60 plus can book their vaccinations from 28 July. 

Then, two weeks later, people who are 55 plus. From there, new 

age bands will be opened up every 2–3 weeks based on confirmed 

deliveries of the vaccine and the speed of rollout to earlier groups. 

By mid to late August, invitations should be open for people over 

45. By mid to late September, invitations should be open for those 

over 35, with everyone else being eligible from October. 

Invitations 

Most people will get a direct invitation to book – either by email, 

text, phone call or in the post. You will then be able to book through 

Book My Vaccine, a new national booking system that will be online 

from 28 July, or phone a new national call centre. Availability of 

booking slots (the date, time and place you can be vaccinated) 

will vary between district health board (DHB) regions. 

Once you are eligible to be vaccinated, you can be vaccinated 

at any time. There is no cut off. 

Registration 

Even if your age band isn’t open, everyone aged 16 and over will 

be able to go to Book My Vaccine to register for an invitation from 

28 July. Registration means we will be certain to have your correct 

contact details and when your age group is opened, you will get an 

invitation telling you it’s your turn to book. 

Getting a vaccination 

Step 1 

Step 2 

Step 3 

Receiving an invitation 

We’ll call or send you an email, text or letter to invite 

you to book. 

Make your booking 

From 28 July, go to Book My Vaccine or call the new 

national call centre to book both doses, or to register 

if your age band isn’t open yet. 

Get your vaccination 

Have your first vaccination dose. 

3–6 weeks later have your second vaccination dose. 

If you don’t hear from us, or are concerned, you can register 

for your vaccination through the new national Book My Vaccine 

booking system at any time from 28 July. 

Important dates 

28 July People 60+ Vaccinations open 

11 August People 55+ Vaccinations open 

Mid to late Aug People 45 + Invitations should open 

Mid to late Sept People 35+ Invitations should open 

October People 16+ Invitations should open 

Other ways to get vaccinated 

As we go through the year there will be other ways for people 

to be vaccinated. These will include workplace vaccinations and 

other targeted vaccination events across the country. For some 

remote rural communities we will vaccinate all age groups at the 

same time to make it easier for them. Our successful whānaucentred 

approach to vaccinations will continue for Māori and 

Pacific communities and those with disabilities.

Octavia wagon a lot of car for the money 

I GOT INTO a conversation just 

recently with a work colleague, 

he’s also a car enthusiast, when 

time allows we are always talking 

about things automotive. 

After asking me how I was 

enjoying the Skoda Octavia 

evaluation car, he raised a really 

good point by saying out of any 

car manufacturer, Skoda has 

probably done the best job of 

turning around its image. 

That harks back decades, the 

central European company had 

a reputation that wasn’t entirely 

complementary. 

However, today, it is a class 

leader in terms of design, 

quality, reliability, efficiency and 

refinement. 

None of that surprises me, 

Skoda, now manufactured in 

what is known as the Czech 

Republic, fell entirely into 

Volkswagen Group’s hands in 

2000. Since then the company’s 

product has been on a constant 

programme of improvement, 

bearing in mind that Volkswagen 

took an interest in Skoda in 1991, 

and the product that has been 

leaving the factories since then 

has been outstanding, with the 

Octavia being a classic example 

of that. 

In New Zealand we have two 

Octavia wagons – Style TSi and 

RS. Put simply, they are both 

four-cylinder petrol-powered 

with a turbocharger driving to 

the front wheels, the TSi has a 

1.4-litre unit, the RS has a 2-litre 

engine, and it is the subject of this 

evaluation. 

The TSi has a power output 

of 110kW and drives through 

an eight-speed automatic 

transmission. The RS gets 

something special under the 

bonnet, it has the engine that 

makes the Volkswagen Golf GTi 

so special. In the Octavia it is 

rated with 180kW and 370Nm, 

it drives through a seven-speed 

direct shift transmission. 

What makes the RS engine so 

special are the points at where 

the outputs are reached, power 

peaks at just 5000rpm extending 

to 6500rpm, maximum torque 

is available all of the way from 

1600rpm to 4300rpm. The 

consequence of all of that is that 

there is so much immediacy at all 

points of the rev band, you don’t 

need to have the engine singing 

high to extract acceleration. 

Such is the bottom end power, 

the engine wants to pull from 

low revolutions and that is a 

good thing, it feels strong under 

the accelerator pedal and hauls 

solidly right to the red line. 

However, that’s not necessary, 

it’s great to manually (paddles) 

short-shift the gears and feel 

VERSATILE: A host of storage options are available under 

the wagon’s tailgate. 

SKODA OCTAVIA RS: Performance-based family wagon. 

the turbo forcing air into the 

cylinders vigorously. 

In terms of acceleration, the 

Octavia wagon will launch to 

100km/h in 6.7sec and will 

make 120km/h from 80km/h in 

4.1sec. These are feisty times and 

rewarding to feel, performance is 

constantly vivid. Of course, the 

Octavia has various drive modes 

that can be selected at will, all 

are self explanatory – comfort, 

normal, sport and driverprogrammable 

individual. 

I used normal and sport most 

of the time I was driving the 

wagon, simply because there is 

a nice audible throb delivered 

constantly in those modes. It isn’t 

loud, but it does let you know 

something special is sitting up 

front. 

Normal and sport modes don’t 

deliver a harsh ride. Yes, the 

Octavia wagon has progressive 

dampers which alter the way the 

wagon rides. Personally, I couldn’t 

tell a lot of difference, in all 

modes the ride is compliant and 

comfortable. 

In order to beat the weather 

bomb that was forecast for 

Canterbury recently, I took to the 

roads at dusk, and as darkness 

encroached misty drizzle made 

the roads greasy in places. They 

weren’t ideal conditions, but it was 

a good test of how the Octavia 

wagon handled the conditions. 

• Price – Skoda Octavia RS 

wagon, $57,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4689mm; width, 1994mm; 

height, 1468mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

front-wheeldrive, 

1984cc, 180kW, 

370Nm, seven-speed DSG 

automatic 

• Performance – 0-100km/h, 

6.7sec 

• Fuel usage – 6.6l/100km 

I have a friend who has just 

traded his Volkswagen Passat 

wagon for a 2017 Octavia RS, and 

he tells me how much he misses 

the 4Motion system of the VW, 

he says the RS doesn’t put power 

to ground as well when the road 

surface is slippery. 

The conditions I drove in were 

ideal to test that theory, and I 

think it’s fair to say that Skoda 

has done a lot with the latest 

generation Octavia to make 

it work when grip is low, the 

electronics working well so that 

I never had any issues. I guess 

that also has a lot to do with the 

quality of the low profile Good 

Year tyres (225/40 x 19in), they 

have a solid tenure and offer 

plenty of feel so the driver is 

fully aware of what is happening 

underneath. 

On board, the Octavia is chock 

full of technology. The evaluation 

car was carrying a lot of extras, 

and it’s fair to say Skoda’s option 

list is extensive. 

However, even in standard 

form the Octavia wants for little, 

it carries all of those wonderful 

features that have been developed 

through the VW Group and, 

what’s more, the fit and finish is 

absolutely sublime. I particularly 

like the gearshift lever, well it’s 

more like a button really, just 

requiring a gentle flick of a switch 

to activate. The Octavia makes 

you feel good to be in and it 

looks after you with high comfort 

levels and user-friendly in-cabin 

dynamics. 

It is also a genuine fiveseater 

car, and the load space is 

cavernous and adaptable so that 

all of those belongings we tend 

to carry with us can be stored 

securely. 

That’s just one of the reasons 

why I like wagons and I 

particularly like the Octavia RS. 

Its performance and versatility 

make it many different vehicles 

in one. 

I’d also be very interested 

in driving the TSi wagon, 

sometimes those with what 

would be deemed the mainstream 

model often turn out to be the 

pick of the bunch. 

In all cases it’s certainly time to 

forget all those old disparaging 

Skoda jokes.
