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
repairing cemetery gravestones
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

Tama

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

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.

• By Samantha Mythen
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. ​
• By Samantha Mythen
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
• By Samantha Mythen
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
• By Samantha Mythen
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.

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

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
• By Samantha Mythen
“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

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

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
Wednesday June 23 2021 Bay Harbour News
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.
