Covid ward set up<br />
as Delta spreads<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
URGENT UPGRADES are under<br />
way at Christchurch Hospital<br />
to provide a dedicated ward for<br />
Covid-19 patients.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Canterbury District Health<br />
Board expects work on the<br />
new 32-bed ward, to be named<br />
Parkside Ground Medical, to<br />
be completed by the end of this<br />
month.<br />
It comes<br />
as the Delta<br />
variant of<br />
the virus<br />
breaks out of<br />
Auckland and<br />
moves south.<br />
Michael Maze<br />
<strong>The</strong>re was<br />
one death and<br />
39 new cases<br />
yesterday, including nine in the<br />
Waikato.<br />
Even as Canterbury strives<br />
towards 90 per cent vaccination<br />
rates, the ward beds are likely to<br />
be required, says an expert.<br />
University of Otago,<br />
Christchurch, respiratory and<br />
infectious disease physician Dr<br />
Michael Maze applauded the<br />
actions of district health boards,<br />
including the CDHB, in preparing<br />
for community transmission.<br />

Iconic Kaikoura Cup to move to Addington<br />
THE time-honoured Kaikoura<br />
Cup harness race meeting will<br />
be transferred to Addington<br />
Raceway due to Covid<br />
restrictions.<br />
<strong>The</strong> two-day meeting at the<br />
South Bay Racecourse was set<br />
down for Kaikoura on <strong>October</strong><br />
31 and November 1 and usually<br />
attracts crowds in excess of<br />
5000, many of whom travel up<br />
from Christchurch.<br />
IT TOOK eight years to<br />
complete, including a six-month<br />
delay caused by Covid-19, but<br />
the $16 million Ravenscar House<br />
Museum will finally open its<br />
doors next month.<br />
<strong>The</strong> museum on Rolleston Ave<br />
is the vision of Christchurch philanthropists<br />
Susan Wakefield and<br />
her late husband Jim, who gifted<br />
the new visitor attraction to the<br />
city through the Ravenscar Trust.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir son Steve Wakefield is<br />
now chairman of the trust overseeing<br />
the project.<br />
<strong>The</strong> global pandemic has had<br />
an impact on the project, making<br />
it harder to import new lift<br />
components from Italy and a<br />
replacement glass panel from<br />
China. <strong>The</strong> delays pushed the<br />
museum’s original 2018 completion<br />
date back and cost an extra<br />
$3 million. It is now set to open<br />
on November 8.<br />
<strong>The</strong> facility will display the<br />
Wakefields impressive collection<br />
of paintings, decorative arts,<br />
furniture and antiquities.<br />
<strong>The</strong> museum will house a<br />
unique collection of 110 paintings,<br />
dating back to the 19th<br />
century, including five Colin Mc-<br />
Cahon’s and 10 pieces by Frances<br />
Hodgkins, plus works from<br />
Ralph Hotere and many other<br />
New Zealand artists.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Wakefields began<br />
collecting art in the late 1980s.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir large collection was<br />
originally displayed at their<br />
home on Whitewash Head in<br />
Scarborough.<br />
<strong>The</strong> couple had planned to<br />
However, the Kaikoura<br />
Trotting Club committee has<br />
decided it will be transferred to<br />
Addington this year.<br />
“It is one of the biggest<br />
decisions in our history,”<br />
club president Ben Smith<br />
said.<br />
“We have been racing on the<br />
all-weather track there for 68<br />
years and have never had to<br />
consider such a situation.<br />
Right – Monastery Steps by<br />
Frances Hodgkins (1933)<br />
will be on display at the<br />
museum.<br />
eventually gift the house and<br />
their collection to the city,<br />
but the February 22, 2011,<br />
earthquake damaged the home<br />
beyond repair and the land was<br />
red-zoned. <strong>The</strong> Wakefields eventually<br />
opted to rebuild the house<br />
at 52 Rolleston Ave, but instead<br />
gifted the land to the city council<br />
in 2015, which then gifted it to<br />
the museum following public<br />
consultation.<br />
“But we have to be pragmatic.”<br />
Smith said the lack of any<br />
detail from the Government<br />
about alert levels in the lead-up<br />
to the November meeting meant<br />
they had little choice.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> committee is just a<br />
small group of volunteers and<br />
we looked at every option but<br />
we had too many questions<br />
about running the meeting<br />
at Kaikoura at level 2 so the<br />
decision was made to go to<br />
Addington.”<br />
<strong>The</strong>y will race on November 1,<br />
featuring a 13-race programme,<br />
just eight days before the New<br />
Zealand Cup.<br />
“We know a lot of people are<br />
going to be saddened by what’s<br />
happened, but we are obviously<br />
going to do everything we can<br />
to make it a hugely successful<br />
day.”<br />
Museum to finally open<br />

House Museum will house<br />

art collection.<br />

A Christchurch businessman<br />
facing 80 charges relating to<br />
child sex abuse, including<br />
multiple counts of raping a<br />
little girl and filming himself,<br />
has had half the counts against<br />
him dropped. <strong>The</strong> man in his<br />
50s appeared in the district<br />
court on Monday before Judge<br />
Tony Couch. He still faces 40<br />
other similar charges and his<br />

to canvass whether he and the<br />
company he works for can be<br />
identified. <strong>The</strong> suppression<br />

“If you look at the experience in<br />
the United Kingdom and the United<br />
States, even in the UK where they<br />
have vaccination rates that are a bit<br />
more than ours, they are certainly<br />
getting plenty of admissions into<br />
hospital,” Maze said.<br />
“Even with really good vaccination<br />
rates, we still have to expect<br />
some people will end up in hospital,”<br />
he said.<br />
“Of course we still haven’t got to<br />
90 per cent, it seems quite a long<br />
way off. <strong>The</strong>re’s still quite a lot of<br />
people to get vaccinated.”<br />
Currently 50 per cent of the<br />
eligible population nationwide is<br />
fully vaccinated.<br />
Vaccination events in Christchurch<br />
this weekend are helping<br />
towards the 90% for Canterbury<br />
campaign – drive in at Christchurch<br />
Arena, or walk in and get<br />
free food at Ngā Hau e Whā<br />

CDHB executive director facilities<br />
Dr Rob Ojala said in the event<br />
of a significant outbreak in Canterbury,<br />
Parkside Ground Medical<br />
would provide a dedicated space to<br />
treat patients.<br />
He said the CDHB and the<br />
ministry had worked closely and<br />
with urgency to convert the former<br />
Acute Medical Assessment Unit<br />
at Christchurch Hospital into the<br />
ward. <strong>The</strong> AMAU had relocated to<br />
the new Waipapa building last year.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> facility will provide additional<br />
capacity to manage affected<br />
patients should that be required,”<br />
Ojala said.<br />

Canterbury aims for 90 per cent vaccination<br />
Part of the upgrade includes<br />
improving ventilation.<br />
Ventilation is being altered so<br />
that air moves from the central<br />
staff area towards the patient bed<br />
areas, making the staff areas safer.<br />
Facilities and engineering manager<br />
Terry Walker said it would<br />
result in improved airflow.<br />
“Two large fans are being installed<br />
outside the ward to extract<br />
large amounts of air from grills at<br />
above the patients’ bed heads, and<br />
pass it through HEPA filters to<br />
safely exhaust to the atmosphere,”<br />
Walker said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> last time Canterbury DHB<br />
cared for Covid-19 patients was<br />
in January, when two people who<br />
had travelled from overseas were<br />
transferred to the hospital from<br />
MIQ.<br />

Mum wants answers over son’s death<br />
• By Chris Barclay<br />
A GRIEVING mother is<br />
desperate for justice after<br />
claiming her three-year-old boy<br />
died needlessly because a fatal<br />
stroke was misdiagnosed.<br />
Ethan Tuo Brown died in<br />
Christchurch Hospital’s intensive<br />
care unit on September 7 after<br />
his life support was deactivated.<br />
A month on, Michelle Tuo’s<br />
anguish was palpable.<br />
“As a mother who has now lost<br />
a child, it breaks my heart than<br />
my son died in vain because of a<br />
doctor’s negligence,” she said.<br />
“I sincerely hope the relevant<br />
Ministry will intervene to monitor<br />
and investigate, and bring<br />
justice to Ethan and me.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> tragic chain of events<br />
began on September 4 when<br />
Tuo took Ethan to a medical<br />
centre after he collapsed at home<br />
around 9.40am.<br />
<strong>The</strong> previously fit and healthy<br />
boy regained consciousness after<br />
about 10 minutes but he was<br />
unable to talk or straighten his<br />
body.<br />
Tuo said a doctor diagnosed<br />
seizures and told her to take<br />
Ethan to Christchurch Hospital.<br />
According to Tuo’s time line,<br />
Ethan was wheeled into the<br />
emergency department about<br />
11.40am.<br />
Tuo said the ED doctor agreed<br />
with the seizures diagnosis and<br />
LOST SOUL: Ethan Tuo<br />
Brown died in Christchurch<br />
Hospital after suffering<br />
a stroke that had been<br />
misdiagnosed according to<br />
his grieving mother.<br />
sought to reassure the mother by<br />
saying it could take a “long time”<br />
for the body to return to normal.<br />
Although Ethan was drowsy<br />
and unable to eat, drink, walk<br />
or talk Tuo said they were sent<br />
home about 4pm.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> doctor came in with two<br />
printed sheets of paper . . . it had<br />
detailed instructions for me if<br />
Ethan had another seizure at<br />
home,” Tuo said in an email to<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong>.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> doctor also simply said<br />
that if Ethan had another seizure<br />
within 24 hours or if the seizures<br />
last more than five minutes to<br />
call for an ambulance.<br />
“If it (the seizure) lasted less<br />
than five minutes, at first, make<br />
sure Ethan’s head would be safe<br />
and place him on his side. After<br />
that call the (hospital) phone<br />
number and inform them,” Tuo<br />
said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> other document was an<br />
appointment – two weeks later<br />
– for an electroencephalogram<br />
to measure electrical activity in<br />
Ethan’s brain.<br />
“I looked at these two pieces<br />
of paper and I was still worried<br />
about Ethan because he still<br />
seemed very sick,” Tuo said.<br />
“I said to the doctor: ‘Are you<br />
sure I can take my son home?’<br />
<strong>The</strong> doctor said: ‘Yes, you can<br />
take him home, don’t worry,<br />
many patients have seizures, it<br />
takes time to return to normal.”<br />
Tuo said she checked Ethan<br />
regularly from the time they<br />
returned home and at 5.45am<br />
on September 5 he could not be<br />
woken.<br />
“His whole body was very cold<br />
with no breath or heartbeat. His<br />
Christchurch Hospital’s emergency department.<br />
lips were dark and eyes closed,”<br />
she said.<br />
Ethan was rushed to Christchurch<br />
Hospital and about 11am<br />
two doctors told her Ethan had<br />
suffered a posterior circulation<br />
ischemic stroke which meant the<br />
blood supply to his brain had<br />
stopped.<br />
He was placed on life support<br />
until the machine was turned off<br />
at 11am on September 7.<br />
Tuo has spoken out, believing<br />
Ethan could have been saved<br />
had his illness been accurately<br />
diagnosed.<br />
“I think Ethan would have survived.<br />
Ethan lost more than 10<br />
hours of precious time that could<br />
have saved his life because the<br />
doctors misdiagnosed the stroke<br />
as seizures,” she said.<br />
Tuo said if doctors had treated<br />
Ethan seriously, responsibly and<br />
“thought harder” on September<br />
4, he could have celebrated his<br />
fourth birthday on September<br />
25.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Canterbury District<br />
Health Board’s chief medical<br />
officer Dr Helen Skinner said a<br />
review of Ethan’s treatment was<br />
under way.<br />
“Our team will be contacting<br />
the family to discuss the review,<br />
and once confirmed, the findings<br />
will be communicated to the<br />
family and any appropriate<br />
external organisations,” she<br />
said.<br />
“On behalf of the DHB, I<br />
express my deepest sympathy to<br />
the young boy’s whanau for their<br />
loss.”<br />

Long list of creditors owed $1.2m by<br />
• By Anne Gibson<br />
CREDITORS owed $1.2<br />
million by a failed Canterbury<br />
housebuilding company have<br />
now been named.<br />
Insolvency practitioner<br />
Murray Allott is liquidating<br />
First Design & Build, which<br />
previously traded as David Reid<br />
Homes Canterbury.<br />
First Design is insolvent and<br />
last year sold its rights to the<br />
David Reid brand, but carried on<br />
in the housebuilding<br />
sector, Allott<br />
noted.<br />
Christopher<br />
John Swann<br />
from Dunedin<br />
is First<br />
Design’s sole<br />
Murray Allott<br />
director. He<br />
also owns<br />
the company<br />
along with CIS Nominees, whose<br />
address is the same as his.<br />
Swann was previously a<br />
director of NZX listed cancer<br />
diagnostics business, Pacific<br />
Edge, which he also chaired but<br />
that company said yesterday he<br />
had left some years ago.<br />
Allott said no houses were<br />
under construction at the time<br />
First Design & Build failed.<br />
Swann was also cited on David<br />
Reid’s website as a chartered<br />
DEBT: First Design & Build, which previously traded as David Reid Homes Canterbury, is<br />
being liquidated.<br />
accountant. He is a director of<br />
Southern Capital and former<br />
chairman of Waitaki District<br />
Health Services, which he left<br />
two years ago.<br />
Allott’s report said First<br />
Design, registered in 2012, had<br />
accumulated losses of just over<br />
$1.2 million. <strong>The</strong> failure was due<br />
to it being funded by so much<br />
debt.<br />
A creditor issued a statutory<br />
demand for an outstanding<br />
debt. A compromise proposal<br />
was put to creditors to try to<br />
avoid liquidation but Allott said<br />
creditors had rejected that and<br />
he was appointed.<br />
Assets are estimated at $38,032<br />
but debts are claimed against<br />
those assets.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> company’s fixed assets<br />
are subject to encumbrances<br />
totalling $1,134,230,” Allott<br />
noted.<br />
His first liquidator’s report said<br />
a search of the Personal Property<br />
Securities Register at the time<br />
the liquidation started recorded<br />
the list of secured creditors.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are PlaceMakers<br />
Christchurch, Fisher & Paykel<br />
Appliances, Mico New Zealand,<br />
the Bank of New Zealand,<br />
Ricoh New Zealand, Goldpine<br />
Industries, Macready Building<br />
Supplies, Harrison Bloy<br />
Plumbing & Bathrooms, VFL<br />
Securities, Dyers Road Timber,<br />
Oakleys Plumbing Supplied,<br />
Millbrook Kitchens, Hagley<br />
Building Products, Dores for<br />
Floors, Prime Joinery and<br />
trustees of the Cannington Road<br />
Trust.<br />
<strong>The</strong> total owing to secured<br />
creditors is $1,290,948.<br />
Debts owing to preferential<br />
creditors were put at $24,000<br />
but the unsecured creditors is<br />
a much longer list and they are<br />
owed $781,381.<br />
A far longer list of all creditors<br />
– secured and unsecured –<br />
named a number of state entities<br />
and national businesses.<br />
Accident Compensation<br />
Corporation, Envirowaste<br />
Services, NZ Post,<br />
Metalcraft Roofing, David<br />
Reid Homes, Avon Plastering,<br />
Christchurch City Council,<br />
Meridian Energy, Simply<br />
Wardrobes, Warehouse<br />
Stationery, Superloo Sanitation,<br />
Sign Network, Waterford<br />
Press, Xero, Z Energy and<br />
WynnWilliams appeared at the<br />
back of Allott’s report.<br />
Allott said the company had<br />
failed because it had in part<br />
relied on debt facilities to fund<br />
its activities.<br />
Swann told Allott he had<br />
sought advice on the company’s<br />
financial position after getting<br />
the statutory demand for an<br />
outstanding debt.<br />

NEW BUILD: First Design & Build sold its rights to the David<br />
Reid Homes’ brand last year but carried on building.<br />
Swann was quoted on<br />
David Reid Homes’ website<br />
in 2017, along with general<br />
manager Chris Solly, about the<br />
post-earthquake recovery in<br />
Canterbury.<br />
He was then David Reid<br />
franchise director and said<br />
the team had come out of the<br />
Christchurch rebuild phase.<br />
In general terms, a lot of the<br />
older houses in Christchurch had<br />
been demolished and new homes<br />
had appeared, Swann and Solly<br />
said then.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> earthquake hasn’t<br />
changed the style of our homes,<br />
but it has changed structural<br />
elements . . . in terms of look and<br />
feel we are still building the same<br />
sorts of houses,” they said at the<br />
time.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Canterbury team prided<br />
itself on being able to design and<br />
build homes that fit perfectly<br />
with what their client had asked<br />
for, they said.<br />
“Dealing with customers on<br />
designing their dream home;<br />
it’s such a large purchase for<br />
anybody, and you’re involved in<br />
designing something for them<br />
that meets their needs.<br />
“To walk them through<br />
that process, at the end of the<br />
day, the ultimate is delivering<br />
a house that exceeds the<br />
expectations of our clients,”<br />
the pair said then.<br />

THE CITY council is being<br />
accused of penny-pinching<br />
in a struggle to make local<br />
government more accessible<br />
during the pandemic.<br />
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community<br />
Board<br />
member<br />
Andrei<br />
Moore<br />
offered to<br />
help the<br />
council<br />
meet its<br />
Zoom costs,<br />
which he<br />
understood<br />
to be $15<br />
a month, after the budget was<br />
cited as a reason the council will<br />
not allow board staff to record<br />
public meetings and post them<br />
to its website.<br />
Members of the public were<br />
prevented from watching the<br />
board’s meeting on Tuesday<br />
after staff decided they did not<br />
have the capacity to add more<br />
people to the Zoom meeting,<br />
which 14 people attended.<br />
Under the Covid-19<br />
restrictions, members of the<br />
public are not able to attend<br />
board meetings in person.<br />
If staff were able to record and<br />
upload footage to the council<br />
website in the same manner as<br />
council meetings, this problem<br />
would have been avoided,<br />
Moore said.<br />
“Public have (on Tuesday)<br />
been denied access to a public<br />
meeting where public money is<br />
spent.”<br />
City council head of<br />
community support,<br />
governance and partnerships<br />
John Filsell said recordings<br />
are not a service the council<br />
provided.<br />
“Correspondingly, there is<br />
no mandate, budget or other<br />
resources to make a recording<br />
of the appropriate quality and<br />
manage the data recorded to the<br />
standard required,” he said.<br />
Filsell said transparency<br />
was not a problem because the<br />
minutes of all public meetings<br />
are available on the council<br />
website. Moore said minutes<br />
gave an insufficient overview<br />
of meetings because they did<br />
not give detailed descriptions of<br />
debates leading up to decisions.<br />
“If we’ve got a recorded Zoom<br />
meeting, anyone can watch it<br />
from home and see what the<br />
board do, how we do it, and how<br />

we make our decisions.”<br />
Board members are allowed<br />
to make private meeting<br />
recordings to share on noncouncil<br />
sites if they have the<br />
approval of the board chair.<br />
Moore had offered to record<br />
meetings himself to make them<br />
accessible on<br />
Facebook,<br />
but board<br />
chairman<br />
Mike Mora<br />
would not<br />
grant permission<br />
for<br />
this.<br />
Said Mora:<br />
“Everybody<br />
that’s on the<br />
Mike Mora<br />
Zoom meeting has to agree. I’ve<br />
had feedback from people that<br />
don’t want it to go out.”<br />
This included both board<br />
members and members of<br />
the public, who were worried<br />
posting footage to a platform<br />
other than the council website<br />
could open “a can of worms.”<br />
Members of the public who<br />
were speaking on controversial<br />
local issues would be made<br />
vulnerable, he said.<br />
“I think people would be<br />
reluctant to complain in a<br />
recording,” said Mora.<br />

Iconic city buildings recognised<br />
<strong>The</strong> Edmonds Band Rotunda.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Richmond Club.<br />
Ōtautahi Community Housing Brougham St.<br />
THE PRISTINE Edmonds<br />
Band Rotunda, one of the<br />
city’s most revered earthquake<br />
casualties, has struck a chord<br />
with judges scrutinising entries<br />
for the annual Civic Trust<br />
Awards.<br />
Now resembling its original<br />
bearing by the Avon River on<br />
Cambridge Tce thanks to a $1.5<br />
million restoration project, the<br />
category 2 heritage building<br />
built in 1929 earned rave reviews<br />
for the city council.<br />
Written off after the February<br />
22, 2011, earthquake, a painstaking<br />
rebuild which started in<br />
March 2020 was completed in<br />
August.<br />
<strong>The</strong> trust commended the<br />
city council for its excellent<br />
restoration of a significant city<br />
landmark ahead of the awards<br />
function at St Barnabas Church<br />
in Fendalton tonight.<br />
<strong>The</strong> trust received a total of 12<br />
nominations for consideration.<br />
Nick Rogatski’s restoration<br />
of a heritage character house at<br />
232 Main Rd in Moncks Bay,<br />
designed by architect Samuel<br />
Hurst Seager and built in 1913,<br />
was also recognised.<br />
Only a handful of the English<br />
Arts & Crafts movement, bungalow-style<br />
houses remained<br />
after the earthquakes.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new Richmond Club<br />
building, an Otautahi Community<br />
Housing Trust complex<br />
on Brougham St and the Te Koti<br />
Te Rato apartment at Rehau<br />
Marae were all acknowledged as<br />
projects which made a “material<br />
beneficial change to the city<br />
environment.”<br />
Work to rebuild the<br />
Richmond Club, which was<br />
established in 1888, was<br />
completed earlier this year, and<br />
recognised for its architectural<br />
design and contribution to<br />
the revitalisation of the local<br />
community.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 90-unit OCHT development<br />
welcomed its first residents<br />
last year impressed after being<br />
built to New Zealand Green<br />
Building Council’s Homestar 7<br />
specifications.<br />
It was recognised for excellent<br />
repurposing for an existing<br />
building into a marae-based<br />
housing development that also<br />
boosts the community.<br />
<strong>The</strong> restoration of the former<br />
Hereford Chambers at 167<br />
Hereford St, which had been<br />
threatened by a council fix or<br />
demolish order in 2020, was<br />
also commended by the judges.<br />
In spite of the quality of the<br />
entries the panel opted not to<br />
select a supreme award winner<br />
this year, an accolade reserved<br />
for projects of distinction.<br />
Alison Discovered Gut & Digestion Support ADVERTISEMENT<br />
KORU NUTRITION<br />
For Alison and her husband,<br />
nothing is nicer than jumping<br />
in a motorhome and cruising<br />
down the coastline. Travelling<br />
to a favourite fishing spot<br />
sounds like a wonderful<br />
weekend away for just about<br />
anyone, but for Alison - it<br />
requires a little thought.<br />
“I love getting out of the<br />
city and exploring nature. For<br />
many, wandering through the<br />
woods doesn’t always sound<br />
pleasant but for us, simply<br />
bliss.”<br />
“A few months ago, a good<br />
friend of mine got me onto<br />
Koru Gut Restore. She was<br />
raving about it. She talked<br />
about how it supports her gut<br />
and digestion and helps keep<br />
her ‘regular’”.<br />
“She introduced me to<br />
Koru Gut Restore from Koru<br />
Nutrition. It is both a patented<br />
Prebiotic and it contains<br />
Live Probiotics in a beautiful<br />
gut balancing formula. A<br />
scientifically researched<br />
blend designed to sit on your<br />
shelf without the need for<br />
refrigeration; which is great<br />
for when we’re travelling.”<br />
“Before we head off up the<br />
coast on a fishing weekend,<br />
I like to prepare everything<br />
in the motorhome so we can<br />
leave first thing. It’s actually<br />
nice to be able to plan an early<br />
morning ‘rest stop’ - it’s a bit<br />
of a habit now. But I’m not<br />
complaining about having<br />
regular bowel movements.”<br />
“Things just move smoothly<br />
and my stomach is beautifully<br />
comfortable. I am absolutely<br />
delighted with Koru Gut<br />
Restore. I feel amazing and will<br />
continue supporting my gut<br />
with Koru Gut Restore which<br />
is great for my wellbeing &<br />
overall health.”<br />
Koru Gut Restore supports<br />
and balances gut flora at<br />
optimal levels by combining<br />
70 billion highly effective live<br />
probiotics with a patented<br />
prebiotic.<br />
This patented prebiotic<br />

Aotearoa: Does it fit the South Island?<br />
• By Andrew Marshall<br />
A NGAI TAHU leader has called<br />
for a rethink on a movement to<br />
change New Zealand’s official<br />
name to Aotearoa, saying it risks<br />
overlooking the South Island.<br />
A name change has been<br />
brought to the fore by the Māori<br />
Party, which launched a petition<br />
calling for restoring Māori<br />
names for the country, as well as<br />
for towns, cities and other places.<br />
Otakou<br />
marae kaumatua<br />
Edward Ellison<br />
said while<br />
he agreed with<br />
the Māori Party’s<br />
initiative<br />
in principle,<br />
Edward<br />
Ellison<br />
it would be “a<br />
rash move to<br />
rush forward<br />
SUBJECT: Māori Party co-leaders Rawiri Waititi and Debbie Ngarewa-Packer launched<br />
the petition which also aims to use te reo Māori names for all towns, cities and places by<br />
2026. PHOTO: MARK MITCHELL<br />
in a change of that substance and<br />
nature.”<br />
At the core of his reservations<br />
is the history of the name<br />
Aotearoa, which many people<br />
did not realise originally referred<br />
solely to the North Island.<br />
He had been heartened to see<br />
Aotearoa catch on in an informal<br />
sense over the years, but was<br />
reticent about a more formal<br />
arrangement.<br />
“I’m really proud of it to see<br />
it on our passports and other<br />
licences, but it’s another quantum<br />
leap to adopt a name that’s<br />
grown on us through osmosis,<br />
as opposed to a really significant<br />
decision to change the name of<br />
the country.”<br />
Ellison said a more commonly<br />
used title in the south was<br />
Aotearoa me Te Waipounamu,<br />
which encompassed both major<br />
land masses.<br />
If a name change was on<br />
the cards, a more thorough<br />
discussion would be needed to<br />
ensure an inclusive name was<br />
selected.<br />

do you think of Ellison’s<br />
opinion. Email responses<br />
to barry@starmedia.kiwi<br />
Keep responses to 200<br />
words or less<br />
“Otherwise we feel sort of<br />
forgotten about, and it’s just<br />
another form of, at the worst, say<br />
colonisation.”<br />
However, he gave the Māori<br />
Party “full marks” for bringing<br />
the subject into the national<br />
consciousness.<br />
“That’s partly what their<br />
role is, to shock the people<br />
into thinking about these<br />
things.”<br />
On the wider subject<br />
of changing the names of<br />
settlements and natural features,<br />
he said Ngai Tahu had their own<br />
process to do similar work in the<br />
South, which was more gradual<br />
than what the Māori Party<br />
suggested.<br />
He was not sure at the<br />
national level whether it was a<br />
better option to change names<br />
sooner by legislation or allow<br />
them to evolve over time, but<br />
was happy with their local<br />
process.<br />
“It’s a bit slower, but they do it<br />
when the people are ready.”<br />

THE IMPACT of cannabis use<br />
among expectant mothers is<br />
the focus of ground-breaking<br />
research led by a genetics expert<br />
at Canterbury University.<br />
Funded by the Canterbury<br />
Medical Research Foundation,<br />
the year-long study aims to determine<br />
whether using the drug<br />
during pregnancy can lead to<br />
health effects already associated<br />
with tobacco.<br />
Dr Amy Osborne, a senior lecturer<br />
in the School of Biological<br />
Sciences, has already established<br />
that heavy cannabis use has an<br />
impact on human DNA, with<br />
the effect stronger in people who<br />
also smoke cigarettes.<br />
That research, published in<br />
May last year, has been followed<br />
by this USA-inspired probe to<br />
discover if a woman’s cannabis<br />
use can alter their offspring’s<br />
DNA.<br />
“We know smoking tobacco<br />
during pregnancy is harmful,<br />
but the problem is a lot of people<br />
are using cannabis for morning<br />
sickness because they think it’s<br />
safe,” Osborne said.<br />
“In the US it’s also being<br />
used as an opioid replacement<br />
therapy for pregnant women, a<br />
replacement for hard and more<br />
illicit drugs: ‘You’re not going<br />
to do heroin while you’re<br />
pregnant, but here, have some<br />
cannabis’.”<br />
Osborne said some of the<br />
research Stateside assessing<br />
the effects of cannabis use during<br />
pregnancy revealed some<br />
behavioural impacts similar to<br />
tobacco.<br />
Her latest study, which starts<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
this month, dovetails with DNA<br />
data already available through<br />
the Christchurch Health and Development<br />
Study, an investigation<br />
which started more than 40<br />
years ago and originally included<br />
1265 people.<br />
Osborne has already sourced<br />
DNA data from cannabis users<br />

GROUND-BREAKING: Dr Amy Osborne is able to study the effect of cannabis use by<br />
pregnant women thanks to funding from the Canterbury Medical Research Foundation.<br />

Thursday <strong>October</strong> 7 <strong>2021</strong> <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
University of Bristol in the<br />
United Kingdom.<br />
<strong>The</strong> UK data is vital because it<br />
covers DNA from the parent and<br />
their children because the CHDS<br />
information doesn’t include the<br />
parents.<br />
“We can use the UK data to inform<br />
what we’d be looking for in<br />
the New Zealand cohort. We can<br />
streamline what we’re looking<br />
for so it means we’re more likely<br />
to get a better idea of what’s happening<br />
at the molecular level,”<br />
Osborne said.<br />
“In New Zealand our sample<br />
sizes are a lot smaller so if<br />
we want to statistically show<br />
associations – and it’s all about<br />
statistical power in genetics –<br />
the more samples you have the<br />
more likely you are to detect<br />
something.”<br />
Ultimately, Osborne would<br />
like to develop a mine of information<br />
from pregnant New<br />
Zealanders.<br />
“It would be amazing. We<br />
haven’t explored that as an option<br />
yet but depending on what<br />
we find it may be that’s naturally<br />
where our research goes. <strong>The</strong>n<br />
again that requires clinicians,<br />
epidemiologists, nurses and a lot<br />
of people recruiting as well,” she<br />
said.<br />
Osborne emphasised the study<br />
was impartial regarding cannabis.<br />

Pain management could<br />
benefit from cannabis<br />
• From page 13<br />
“We’re not trying to say ‘cannabis<br />
is bad for you or cannabis is<br />
good for you’. It’s really important<br />
to make the distinction that this<br />
is basic biology, basic biological<br />
research,” she said.<br />
“What we’re trying to do is<br />
understand a little bit more of the<br />
impacts it (cannabis use) might<br />
be having.<br />
“Whether that’s the detrimental<br />
impacts that come with<br />
long-term use or whether it’s<br />
the medicinal and therapeutic<br />
impacts, we just don’t know.”<br />
Osborne said while cannabis<br />
use can be detrimental for heavy<br />
users, it could be beneficial<br />
regarding pain management, the<br />
treatment of chronic illnesses and<br />
end of life care.<br />
“If we can put some empirical<br />
meat on the bone and understand<br />
a bit about the molecular pathways<br />
that may or may not be involved<br />
we can start to understand<br />
a lot more.”<br />

researchers to benefit from the<br />

PEOPLE ACROSS the city were<br />
busy on their phones during<br />
September reporting litter to the<br />
council.<br />
THe ‘Snaptember’ promotion<br />
by the Snap Send Solve antilittering<br />
app encouraged<br />
residents to help clean-up their<br />
community by reporting any<br />
issues they saw with dumped<br />
rubbish, graffiti, overgrown<br />
vegetation and abandoned<br />
shopping trolleys.<br />
It proved popular as the 3237<br />
notifications received via the<br />
app to council were up by 20 per<br />
cent from the same month last<br />
year (2668).<br />
However, reports of litter<br />
from other sources including<br />
phone and email did not see any<br />
increase.<br />
<strong>Star</strong>ting in the first week<br />
of September, a 76 per cent<br />
increase in litter reports was<br />
recorded by council staff.<br />
THe following week the<br />
emphasis was on graffiti and<br />
this resulted in a 153 per cent<br />
increase in reports, while the<br />
third week had a massive 1600<br />
per cent increase in notifications<br />
concerning overgrown<br />
vegetation.<br />
However, as only one<br />
overgrown vegetation incident<br />
was reported in 2020, the<br />
17 cases reported that week<br />
resulted in the 1600 per cent<br />
increase.<br />
<strong>The</strong> fourth and final week of<br />
the ‘Snaptember’ promotion<br />
asked people to report<br />
abandoned shopping trolleys<br />
dumped in their communities.<br />
City council head of citizen<br />
and customer services Sarah<br />

Southern Response<br />
customers need to act<br />
without delay<br />
<strong>The</strong> Court has now confirmed insurers Southern<br />
Response can directly contact 3000 quake-affected<br />
Canterbury homeowners about $300 million<br />
compensation owed to them.<br />
This is a major blow to GCA Lawyers, but a<br />
fantastic outcome for around 3,000 homeowners.<br />
You only have until the 20th December <strong>2021</strong> to<br />
make your claim directly with Southern Response<br />
and avoid expensive class action costs, which could<br />
be up to $35,000 for the average homeowner.<br />
Eligible homeowners are those who cash-settled<br />
their Southern Response earthquake claims before<br />
<strong>October</strong> 1, 2014. In general terms these homeowners<br />
are entitled to a further payment of approximately<br />
20 percent of their original settlement plus interest.<br />
<strong>The</strong> average compensation payable is approximately<br />
$100,000 for each homeowner.<br />
We advise all former Southern Response policy<br />
holders who were cash settled by Southern Response<br />
before 1 <strong>October</strong> 2014 to get independent legal<br />
advice.<br />
Claims Resolution Services (2015) Ltd has teamed<br />
up with Canterbury Legal to offer legal advice to<br />
eligible homeowners and a settlement service for<br />
just $2,000 per claim. This is the least expensive<br />
service being offered in New Zealand. What’s more<br />
Southern response has agreed to cover the costs up<br />
to $2,000. So, you will not have any out-of-pocket<br />
expenses provided Southern Response pay the<br />
$2,000.<br />
Act now, email your details to info@srclaims.co.nz<br />
and we will get the process started.<br />
SOUTHERN RESPONSE POLICY HOLDERS,<br />

To avoid paying up to 1/3rd of your payout in expensive GCA legal fees<br />
and costs, you need to Opt Out of their class action now.<br />

OPINION 17<br />
‘Don’t hate the player, hate the game’<br />
Green MP<br />
Chloe<br />
Swarbrick<br />
writes<br />
about<br />
instincts<br />
and<br />
political<br />
decisions in the age<br />
of Covid-19<br />
THERE’S A phenomenon in<br />
psychology called the “cognitive<br />
miser,” which tells us that our<br />
brains crave simplicity and<br />
shortcuts.<br />
A lot of the decisions made in<br />
politics play to these instincts.<br />
We’ve seen it in successive<br />
governments under-funding our<br />
health, education and housing<br />
systems for the sugar high and<br />
short-term poll bump of trickleup<br />
tax cuts.<br />
We see it play out – intentional<br />
or not – in the drafting of news<br />
headlines. In a busy world, those<br />
short sentences become a proxy;<br />
a few words become the sum<br />
total of a person, their position<br />
and their politics.<br />
Studies have shown that<br />
approximately 60 per cent<br />
of social media users are<br />
comfortable sharing articles they<br />
haven’t actually opened, let alone<br />
read.<br />
It makes sense. We’re<br />
overworked, overtired and<br />
drowning in information<br />
exposure. Don’t hate the player,<br />
hate the game. What about<br />
changing the game?<br />
Last week was Mental Health<br />
Awareness Week. I reflected on<br />
my 2017 maiden speech, where<br />
a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed<br />
23-year-old lamented the<br />
mental health crisis, but more<br />
particularly, our inability to<br />
put our finger on some of the<br />
more egregious systemic drivers<br />
of it: Loneliness, insecurity of<br />
housing, employment and one’s<br />
future.<br />
I referred to this old joke:<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s a dog on the riverbank<br />
who sees a fish and asks: “How’s<br />
the water?” To which the fish<br />
replies: “What water?”<br />
<strong>The</strong> most fundamental realities<br />
of our lives can be hard to see,<br />
which makes them even harder<br />
LOCKDOWN:<br />
On Monday, the<br />
Government<br />

strategy.<br />

SLOAN<br />
to talk about.<br />
That makes them hard to<br />
challenge and even more<br />
difficult to comprehend as the<br />
consequences of decisions made<br />
by others.<br />
Poverty, homelessness and<br />
the climate crisis are not<br />
inevitabilities. It is within our<br />
power to change the rules that<br />
produce those outcomes.<br />
In 2018, the Government’s<br />
Mental Health and Addiction<br />
Inquiry, He Ara Oranga,<br />
confirmed the premise of this<br />
argument. Clearly, we need more<br />
front-line mental health support,<br />
but we’re not going to address<br />
the growing pipeline of issues<br />
unless we address security and<br />
stability of incomes, housing<br />
and community connection.<br />
No amount of talking is going<br />
to solve the issue of people<br />
living below the breadline.<br />
A massage won’t undo a<br />
deeply unsustainable 80-hour<br />
work week. Meditation and<br />
mindfulness won’t secure your<br />
tenancy.<br />
That’s where things get<br />
difficult and frankly, political. A<br />
crisis in slow motion. Don’t hate<br />
the player, hate the game.<br />
This is why I’m so angry at the<br />
attempts to wedge oversimplified<br />
mental ill-health narratives into<br />
the story that we’re somehow<br />
in dire need of a return to the<br />
business-as-usual, pre-pandemic<br />
way of life. <strong>The</strong>se attempts have<br />
been so dogged that the Mental<br />
Health Foundation was driven to<br />
release a statement about the lack<br />
of truth and substance to them.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y’ve even been peddled,<br />
shamelessly, by the Leader of the<br />
Opposition.<br />
But those shilling these<br />
warped and disingenuous<br />
arguments got their wish.<br />

OPINION 19<br />
NZ treated as ‘tax haven for the rich’<br />
•From page 17<br />
On Monday, the Government<br />
announced the beginning of the<br />
end in their commitment to the<br />
elimination strategy.<br />
Delta had officially shifted<br />
from an immediate emergency<br />
to one “playing out in slow<br />
motion, with less bang, more<br />
data and trends, out-of-sight-outof-mind,<br />
impacting particularly<br />
those without platform or<br />
power.”<br />
Official data shows that more<br />
than 80 per cent of cases are<br />
Māori and Pasifika, the same<br />
demographics that medical<br />
professionals have critiqued the<br />
Government’s response for and<br />
to.<br />
Supporters argued that “the<br />
economy” couldn’t sustain<br />
elimination anymore. I ask those<br />
people to reflect on exactly what<br />
they think the economy is.<br />
<strong>The</strong> economy is all of us and<br />
the things we produce. It’s the<br />
stuff we exchange.<br />
While Members of Parliament<br />
point to GDP figures as the<br />
source of truth, I ask they reflect<br />
on the words of the economist<br />
who invented the measure,<br />
Simon Kuznets.<br />
He warned of GDP’s<br />
shortcomings in measuring<br />
“welfare,” or the distribution,<br />
value and incalculable costs of<br />
those transactions.<br />
STRUGGLE: Chloe Swarbrick says a strong public health response requires a strong<br />
economic response to ensure everyone has what they need to stay the course.<br />
PHOTO: GETTY IMAGES<br />
A strong public health<br />
response to anything – Covid,<br />
climate, housing, mental health,<br />
drugs – requires a strong,<br />
equitable economic response to<br />
ensure everyone has what they<br />
need to stay the course.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Government’s<br />
endorsement of unconventional<br />
monetary policy and a lack of<br />
intervention in fiscal policy has<br />
seen house prices supercharged<br />
under Covid to more than $1<br />
million average across the entire<br />
country.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are hundreds of<br />
thousands of dollars in unearned<br />
capital gain on every<br />
single individual property that<br />
could have paid for “staying the<br />
course” through a tax on those<br />

Keep responses to 200<br />
words or less<br />
gains. Or we could reflect on the<br />
Pandora Papers. <strong>The</strong>y confirmed<br />
what we already know, and<br />
have known, since at least 2016’s<br />
Panama Papers.<br />
Aotearoa New Zealand is<br />
treated, internationally, as a<br />
tax haven for the rich and<br />
powerful.<br />
At the end of last year, as we<br />
debated incremental changes<br />
to the far-reaches of our tax<br />
system, then-National Party<br />
spokesperson on finance,<br />
Andrew Bayley, said the<br />
quiet part out loud: “<strong>The</strong>re is<br />
such a thing as legitimate tax<br />
avoidance.”<br />
He was speaking to how we<br />
create rules that enable powerful<br />
and wealthy people to shirt their<br />
resources around into places and<br />
spaces that mean they don’t end<br />
up contributing to the society<br />
that they extracted that wealth<br />
from.<br />
Don’t hate the player, hate the<br />
game. We don’t live in a game of<br />
Monopoly. We can and should<br />
change the rules when they don’t<br />
work for the majority of us.<br />

Our local democratic system<br />
is under attack. <strong>The</strong> alignment<br />
between <strong>The</strong> People’s Choice<br />
and the current Government<br />
suggested by Jo Davies, <strong>The</strong><br />
People’s Choice chairperson,<br />
(<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong>, September 30) is an<br />
attempt to dominate our local<br />
political system.<br />
Suggesting <strong>The</strong> People’s<br />
Choice existing/intending<br />
candidates lining up for 2022<br />
local government elections could<br />
stand under the NZ Labour<br />
Party banner or as independents<br />
leaves the voter foxed into<br />
believing they voted for an<br />
independent when they have<br />
voted for a Labour candidate.<br />
Election by deception.<br />
Where is the integrity for<br />
the voter? I’m a fifth term<br />
elected representative and stand<br />
as an independent for a good<br />
reason.<br />
Politics do not belong in local<br />
government level. An openminded<br />
elected member sees the<br />
issue and seeks the right fit for<br />
an issue, not controlled by blockvoting.<br />
A Government/council<br />
regime would be a takeover of<br />
their local issue.<br />
Some good People’s Choice<br />
elected members are marred by<br />
block voting. Joint Government/<br />
council alignments risk bully<br />
boy politics taking over local<br />
decision-making processes. I’ve<br />
experienced enough of local<br />
politics to say: “No political<br />
interference in our local issues.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> ratepayer is more<br />
empowered when politics are<br />
more. <strong>The</strong> current push to align<br />
councils/Government of the<br />
day risks “see-saw” reaction<br />
we see in general elections<br />
and undermines transparent<br />
consultation with ratepayer/<br />
taxpayers alike.<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
I had a chuckle when I read<br />
that <strong>The</strong> People’s Choice were<br />
going to stand as a Labouraffiliated<br />
party at the next local<br />
body elections and be the first<br />
Labour mayor since Neville<br />
Pickering.<br />
What Garry Moore and<br />
Lianne Dalziel who may have<br />
stood as independents have is<br />
more than a passing relationship<br />
with Labour, in fact the latter<br />
is showing more of her Labour<br />
background with every passing<br />
week. If the candidate standing<br />
under the Labour ticket is not<br />
against three waters, I certainly<br />
hope that the voters give who<br />
ever stands the short shift and<br />
vote for Phil Mauger.<br />

editor has ever had<br />
to make decisions<br />
in his/her own life,<br />
let alone the lives of<br />
New Zealanders that<br />
this Government<br />
has had to make. In<br />
fact, no Government<br />
in New Zealand has ever been<br />
confronted by the magnitude of<br />
problems this Government has<br />
been confronted with.<br />
Not only have they made hard<br />
decisions, but also daily they<br />
have stood in front of us and the<br />
fourth estate to explain why.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y knew all decisions that<br />
put the nation ahead of the<br />
individual would create inequity<br />
and heartbreak.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y knew the festering pack<br />
of naysayers, self-appointed<br />
experts, anti-vaxers, political<br />
opponents and stage-seekers<br />
would sneer and yap “they’ve<br />
created a climate of fear, listen to<br />
their weasel words.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> biggest fear I have had<br />
is that the intensity of the<br />
pressure will become unbearable<br />
for them and cause them to<br />
make the wrong decisions.<br />

Water reform<br />
Was Wellington only<br />
pretending to want feedback re<br />
three waters reform, as it seems<br />
they are moving to make it<br />
mandatory, regardless, before<br />
our council has even asked if we<br />
want in or out.<br />
Is Wellington now going<br />
through the same charade with<br />
our farmers? Asking them to<br />
make submissions on three very<br />
important bits of legislation at<br />
their busiest time of the year<br />
when they can’t afford any time<br />
off.<br />
Is this because they don’t<br />
really want submissions or<br />
are our politicians completely<br />
incompetent in knowing how<br />
farmers operate, and therefore<br />
shouldn’t be telling them what<br />

Chance to have your<br />
say on coastal hazards<br />
TOMORROW MARKS the<br />
start of an initial five-week<br />
engagement period with our<br />
communities about coastal<br />
hazards and how we might<br />
respond to them.<br />
Some of you will recall that<br />
we started making changes to<br />
the District Plan that included<br />
coastal hazards back in 2015 as<br />
part of the fast-tracked District<br />
Plan Review process set out by<br />
the Government.<br />
My recollection of that time<br />
was that this created a pressurecooker<br />
environment, which was<br />
unsatisfactory to everyone concerned.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Government allowed<br />
us to carve out coastal hazards<br />
from the fast track process and<br />
deal with it separately. And that’s<br />
what is happening now.<br />
We have released a new<br />
Coastal Hazards Assessment<br />
Report that provides the most<br />
up-to-date scientific information<br />
we have about the risks we face<br />
as a low-lying coastal city.<br />
This time, however, instead of<br />
going straight to a plan change,<br />
we have released an Issues and<br />
Options Paper that considers<br />
different approaches to changing<br />
the District Plan to address<br />
coastal hazards.<br />
After we receive feedback on<br />
the options, staff will then develop<br />
a proposed draft amendment<br />
to the District Plan (April/May<br />
next year), and we will consult<br />
on that before we formally notify<br />
the plan change.<br />
I want to stress that we are<br />
at the very start of the plan<br />
change process. No decisions<br />
have been made yet and nothing<br />
will change in the District Plan<br />
until we’ve been through what<br />
will be a very extensive engagement.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re will be lots of opportunities<br />
along the way for you to<br />
give feedback and influence the<br />

DO YOU HAVE a box of photos<br />
at the top of the wardrobe or<br />
under the bed?<br />
Do you think no-one would be<br />
interested in your old photos?<br />
Think again.<br />
Christchurch City Libraries is<br />
running the annual Christchurch<br />
photo hunt during <strong>October</strong>.<br />
<strong>The</strong> popular event is part of the<br />
Christchurch Heritage Festival<br />
from <strong>October</strong> 9 to 25.<br />
Take your<br />
photos into<br />
your local<br />
library and<br />
they will scan<br />
and return<br />
them or you<br />
can upload<br />
photos to<br />
discoverywall.<br />
nz<br />
<strong>The</strong> winning photograph from<br />
last year’s photo hunt (shown<br />
top right) was taken by Barbara<br />
Newcombe’s father Peter Basire<br />
in <strong>October</strong>, 1953.<br />
It shows a British European<br />
Airways Vickers Viscount 701<br />
near the hanger at Christchurch<br />
Airport – surrounded by admirers.<br />
“We really liked how<br />
this particular photograph<br />
combines being artistic with<br />
telling a great story about<br />
the crowds inspecting the<br />
planes following the London-<br />
Christchurch Air Race,” says city<br />
council head of libraries Carolyn<br />
Robertson.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> image captures an event<br />
very much of its time and the<br />
great excitement of Christchurch<br />
being the final destination of the<br />
race.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> air race is a well-known<br />
event but it wasn’t well represented<br />
in the digital heritage collection<br />
so this image, along with the<br />
12 others contributed as part of<br />
this collection, provide the public<br />
with an insight into this historic<br />
event.”<br />
Another notable find last<br />
year came from Ron Cone, who<br />
brought in a box of old photos<br />
he had taken of everyday life and<br />
work around Christchurch.<br />
Some of Mr Cone’s photos<br />
show crowds gathered outside<br />
the State <strong>The</strong>atre, an aerial shot<br />
of Papanui High School in the<br />
1960s and the intersection of<br />
High and Cashel Sts in 1967.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y’ve now become an<br />
important part of the libraries’<br />
digital collection.<br />
“Thanks to Mr Cone we now<br />
have precious photos of how<br />
Christchurch was, and some<br />
really interesting colour photos<br />
from the 1950s and 60s,” Ms<br />
Robertson says.<br />
Mr Cone’s collection of over<br />
80 images are available to view<br />
online at Canterbury Stories.<br />
Photo Hunt <strong>2021</strong> is open to<br />
enter online until <strong>October</strong> 31.<br />

Add lime before planting tomatoes<br />
• By Henri Ham<br />
YOU KNOW when the weather<br />
starts to warm up, it’s time to<br />
plant your tomatoes.<br />
Tomatoes are a must-have in<br />
any garden, there is a feeling of<br />
satisfaction as you pick a fresh<br />
tomato off your vine … plus<br />
homemade pasta sauce? Yes,<br />
please.<br />
Traditionally Labour weekend<br />
is the time to plant your<br />
tomatoes but anytime from<br />
September to early January is<br />
okay.<br />
Tomatoes thrive in a sunny,<br />
sheltered spot, protected from<br />
strong winds. It’s important to<br />
switch up your planting positions<br />
and plant your tomatoes<br />
in a different spot from the<br />
previous season. This just helps<br />
prevent any disease.<br />
Switch it up by planting<br />
tomatoes in pots or if you’re low<br />
on space you can plant cherry<br />
and dwarf tomato varieties in<br />
hanging baskets, add some marigolds<br />
and herbs to your hanging<br />
baskets to attract beneficial<br />
insects as well as to ward off any<br />
unwanted pests.<br />
Tomatoes aren’t a fan of soil<br />
with a low pH, if it’s been raining<br />
cats and dogs in your area, I<br />
recommend adding a bit of lime<br />
to your soil prior to planting.<br />
Lime provides a great source<br />
of calcium which encourages<br />
healthier and larger fruit and<br />
helps prevent blossom rot.<br />
Calcium also helps improve the<br />
soil structure which encourages<br />
earthworm activity.<br />
Garden centres stock a variety<br />
of tomatoes, if you are planting<br />
tomatoes for bottling then<br />
our heirloom mix, brandy wine,<br />
black krim, money maker and<br />
beefsteak are great options. If<br />
you’re after smaller varieties that<br />
don’t require a lot of room and<br />
are great for salads and picking<br />
straight off the vine then<br />
our gold nugget, black and red<br />
cherry and acid-free tomatoes<br />
will do the trick.<br />
Once you’ve decided on your<br />
varieties and your soil prep is<br />
complete, dig a hole approximately<br />
5cm deep and space your<br />
tomato seedlings about 40-50 cm<br />
apart.<br />
If you’re companion planting,<br />
we recommend planting your<br />
tomatoes with basil, marigolds,<br />
onions, cosmos, cucumber, lettuce,<br />
sage and mint.<br />
Avoid planting with brassicas<br />
and corn. Corn is likely to attract<br />
fruit worm. We also don’t recommend<br />
planting your tomatoes<br />
with potatoes as potatoes require<br />
quite a bit of nutrients which<br />
will reduce the growth of your<br />
tomatoes, they’re also likely to<br />
cause blight.<br />
Once planted, spray your<br />
tomatoes with liquid copper to<br />
prevent fungal disease and add<br />
some seaweed to the surrounding<br />
soil to encourage larger and<br />
juicy fruit.<br />
When it comes to watering,<br />
avoid overhead hosing as it could<br />
leave your plants more susceptible<br />
to diseases like powdery<br />
mildew, rust, and blight. You can<br />
retain moisture by adding a layer<br />
of newspaper around your plants<br />
and then cover your newspaper<br />
with pea straw or soil.<br />

Fill your garden<br />
with delicious treats<br />
• By Henri Ham<br />
OCTOBER IS probably<br />
one of the busiest months<br />
in the garden – the jobs are<br />
endless but it’s also a fun<br />
time to fill up your garden<br />
with delicious treats such as<br />
cucumbers, basil, tomatoes<br />
and pops of colour.<br />
General tidy up:<br />
• Mulch your gardens<br />
to retain moisture and<br />
suppress weed growth<br />
• Deadhead flowers to<br />
encourage more growth<br />
• Clean up dead leaves<br />
and twigs as they may be<br />
harbouring disease<br />
• Remove moss from<br />
paths and driveways<br />
• Keep on top of your<br />
weeds<br />
• Clean your tools – your<br />
garden tools will be getting<br />
a workout this season.<br />
Give them a good clean<br />
and apply some olive oil to<br />
prevent rust.<br />
• Feed strawberries and<br />
passionfruit<br />
Cucumbers, capsicums,<br />
chillies, pumpkins,<br />
tomatoes and zucchini –<br />
it’s their time to shine. If<br />
you’re new to gardening<br />
or thinking of giving it a<br />
go – now is the perfect time<br />
to dig in and get started.<br />
If you’re still experiencing<br />
cold snaps and frost in<br />
your area, we recommend<br />
holding off planting your<br />
tomatoes until the weather<br />
warms up.<br />
Kumara, a Kiwi favourite<br />
wouldn’t you say? If you’re<br />
planting kumara this year,<br />
make sure your soil isn’t too<br />
acidic.<br />
Kumara prefers soil with<br />
a pH level of around 6.0 to<br />
6.5 – to get the best of your<br />
crop make sure that the<br />
base of your soil is solid as<br />
this will prevent the roots<br />
from growing all over the<br />
place and encourage more<br />
tubers.<br />
SUCCULENT: It’s now time to get your cucumber<br />
plants in the garden, you will be rewarded when<br />
it comes time to make those summer salads.<br />
Basil and russian<br />
tarragon are a must-have<br />
in any herb garden. Basil<br />
works well planted amongst<br />
your tomatoes to deter<br />
any bugs, apparently, it<br />
intensifies the taste of the<br />
tomato too.<br />
Russian tarragon which is<br />
actually part of the lettuce<br />
family has quite a strong<br />
anise flavour, it works well<br />
with roasts and as a garnish.<br />
Salad planting, keep<br />
planting your lettuce,<br />
spring onions so that you<br />
have plenty in the warmer<br />
months.<br />
If you’re after a berryfilled<br />
summer, start<br />
planting your raspberry,<br />
blueberry and blackberry<br />
bushes now.<br />
Just remember that slugs<br />
are still about, try using a<br />
bait to prevent these little<br />
guys from eating all your<br />
hard work.<br />
Add some colour to your<br />
garden. Cosmos, dahlias,<br />
gazanias, livingstone<br />
daisies and petunias are<br />
popular this time of year<br />
– these varieties are great<br />
for border, bedding and<br />

hanging baskets which is<br />
great for those that have<br />
smaller gardens. Plant some<br />
flowers around your vege<br />
garden too to encourage<br />
those little pollinators.<br />
It’s also time to spray your<br />
roses to prevent any fungal<br />
disease, it’s also a good time<br />
to feed them as they’ll be<br />
growing like crazy at the<br />
moment.<br />
Your lawns will be<br />
growing at a rapid rate this<br />
month, keep them looking<br />
lush by occasionally<br />
applying lawn fertiliser is<br />
a blend of nutrients that<br />
your lawn will love, the<br />
high levels of nitrogen<br />
will encourage thick,<br />
healthy growth and prevent<br />
disease.<br />
Keep an eye out for<br />
broadleaf – if you spot<br />
some make sure to spray<br />
them with weedkiller so<br />
that they don’t take over<br />
your hard work and resow<br />
any patchy areas<br />
Plant whatever takes your<br />
fancy. If you’re a beginner<br />
gardener there’s never been<br />
a better month to start<br />
experimenting.<br />
Kiwis flocking to<br />
digital mental health<br />
services during covid<br />
New research has found a significant<br />
increase in the number of New<br />
Zealanders turning to digital health<br />
services for support during covid.<br />
<strong>The</strong> uptake of digital mental health<br />
services substantially increased last year<br />
during covid according to new research.<br />
Research findings relating to the New<br />
Zealand tool Just a Thought showed<br />
most users undertook self-guided<br />
courses for anxiety and depressive<br />
symptoms.<br />
<strong>The</strong> results highlight the utility and<br />
scalability of digital mental health<br />
services, particularly during times of<br />
heightened distress in our population.<br />
Just a Thought wanted to explore how<br />
New Zealanders used their service through<br />
covid and reports they have reached over<br />
30,000 registrations since their launch less<br />
than two years ago.<br />
<strong>The</strong> major findings from the New<br />
Zealand data below overwhelmingly show<br />
investment in digital wellbeing services<br />
during covid paid off:<br />
• 630 percent increase in website views<br />
• 185 percent increase in course<br />
registrations<br />
• 144 percent increase in healthcare<br />
worker registering<br />
• 65 percent increase in healthcare worker<br />
prescribed courses<br />
Thursday <strong>October</strong> 7 <strong>2021</strong> <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
Concerns about the mental health<br />
impact of the global health crisis has been<br />
widespread. <strong>The</strong> study examined the use<br />
of the service before and during the early<br />
pandemic period.<br />
<strong>The</strong> number of users accessing digital<br />
mental health services increased after covid<br />
arrived yet the demographic and clinical<br />
characteristics of course participants remain<br />
stable.<br />
<strong>The</strong> findings underscore how nimble and<br />
scalable these services can be during periods<br />
of high demand.<br />

New solution for a better nights<br />
sleep and improved health!<br />
Deep regenerative sleep is so important to feeling and performing our best. A lack<br />
of or poor quality sleep is associated with increased risk for many chronic diseases,<br />
including obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, depression, and many more.<br />
Unfortunately many adults report occasional bouts of insomnia with one in three saying<br />
they suffer from sleeplessness or disturbed sleep on a more chronic basis, to the point<br />
that it regularly impairs daytime functioning.<br />
<strong>The</strong> good news is an inexpensive, naturally occurring amino acid known as glycine<br />
has been clinically researched in Japan and shown to be highly beneficial in supporting<br />
healthy sleep. Subjects who were given three grams of glycine one hour before bedtime<br />
fell asleep much sooner, as well as exhibited brainwave patterns associated with deep<br />
sleep compared to control subjects who did not supplement. On waking the subjects<br />
who took the glycine woke reporting being refreshed with no indication that glycine<br />
produced a “morning hangover” or any foggy feeling common with those who use<br />
prescription sleeping medication.<br />
Glycine is known to accumulate in the pineal gland and is believed to play<br />
animportant role in “disconnecting” the brain from the body during REM (rapid eye<br />
movement) sleep cycles. Glycine also supports healthy growth hormone (GH) secretion<br />
that is associated with strength, good health and vitality whereas low secretion of GH is<br />
associated with advanced ageing & increased disease.<br />
Other clinical research has shown glycine supplementation to improve memory and<br />
attention in young to older adults.<br />
Spanish researchers have studied the effect of glycine supplementation in 600 subjects<br />
between the ages of 4 and 85 years suffering from osteoarthritis, osteoporosis or physical<br />
injuries. Participants were given 5 grams of glycine in the morning and 5 grams in the<br />
evening. In all cases symptoms significantly improved.<br />
Glycine is a very safe amino acid that appears to be highly beneficial for a quality sleep<br />
as well as general good health.<br />
NOW supplements only use a natural pharmaceutical grade, free form glycine that is<br />
also suitable for vegetarians and vegans. NOW operate one of the most advanced private<br />
laboratories and production facilities in the natural products industry. <strong>The</strong>y promise<br />

NEED A BETTER<br />
NIGHTS SLEEP?<br />
Sleep is so important to feeling and performing our best. Long<br />
term poor quality sleep is associated with many chronic diseases<br />
and may even reduce our life span. New clinical research has<br />
found a naturally occurring amino acid known as glycine may<br />
restore a good night’s sleep. Japanese researchers found<br />
patients taking glycine fell asleep much sooner and exhibited<br />
brainwave patterns associated with deep sleep. On waking<br />
the patients woke refreshed, clear minded and energetic.<br />
Glycine supports:<br />
• Restful deep sleep<br />
• Going to sleep quickly<br />
• Staying asleep<br />
• Waking refreshed and clear<br />
minded<br />
• Nervous system support, has<br />
a calming effect reducing<br />
anxiety and panic attacks<br />
• Improved memory, attention<br />
and mental function<br />

ORGANISERS OF the 2022<br />
Otago Community Trust New<br />
Zealand Masters Games being<br />
held next February in Dunedin,<br />
the Dunedin City Council, are<br />
expecting between 5000 and 5500<br />
competitors, events marketing<br />
assistant Ben Anngow says.<br />
<strong>The</strong> biennial games will<br />
run from February 5-13, with<br />
competitors arriving from across<br />
New Zealand to take part, many<br />
having already taken advantage of<br />
the earlybird fee, Ben says.<br />
“At this stage we are still<br />
accepting overseas entries as<br />
well, in particular from Australia.<br />
However, as we advise, there<br />
is no guarantee the border will<br />
be open, though we are trying<br />
to remain positive in case there<br />
are any changes to the border<br />
restrictions before the games.”<br />
Participants will compete in 64<br />
sports, with new sports including<br />
cowboy action shooting, jigsaw<br />
racing and diving.<br />
Among those taking part will<br />
be former Christchurch resident<br />
and well-known international<br />
sportswoman Joan Harnett-<br />
Kindley. A member of the Silver<br />
Ferns from 1963 to 1971, Joan<br />
was highly regarded for her<br />
skills and natural instincts on<br />
the court. However, it is tennis<br />
rather than netball in which Joan,<br />
now 78, competes at the Masters<br />
Games.<br />
“I have always played tennis, I<br />
love it, but because there was not<br />
much coaching in the early days<br />
netball became my sport,” Joan<br />
said.<br />
Along with her doubles partner<br />
Penny Campbell, who is 72, Joan<br />
has competed in most Masters<br />
Games, with the pair usually<br />
winning gold. Having a tennis<br />
court at her home in Albertown,<br />
east of Wanaka, means Joan is<br />
able to get in plenty of practice,<br />
and she regularly plays two or<br />
three times a week.<br />

TREAT: Joan Harnett-Kindley (left), and tennis partner Penny Campbell<br />
display the cake Joan baked and decorated for Penny’s 70th birthday.<br />
Above – Cricket at a previous Masters Games.<br />
She says she and Penny<br />
thoroughly enjoy competing at<br />
the Masters Games.<br />
“We get good tennis. And even<br />
though people are getting on in<br />
years, everyone looks forward to<br />
it. It gives people something to<br />
aspire to, it helps with keeping fit,<br />
and it’s wonderful we are still able<br />
to do it.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> second-oldest of five sisters,<br />
Joan says their mother always told<br />
them, “Women can do anything<br />
they put their mind to”.<br />
With that in mind, Joan says<br />
she and Penny hope to repeat<br />
their previous successes and<br />
are going for straight wins<br />
throughout the tournament.<br />
Known also for her long<br />
involvement in real estate, Joan<br />
was one of only three women<br />
in the industry in Christchurch<br />
when she joined it in 1972.<br />
“By the time I left Christchurch<br />
at the beginning of 1996, it had<br />
changed dramatically,” Joan<br />
said.<br />
Aside from playing tennis,<br />
Joan bakes and decorates cakes<br />
for special occasions such as<br />
weddings and birthdays. And<br />
while she is looking forward to<br />
next year’s Masters Games she<br />
muses it may be her last gold.<br />

BIG MATCH-UPS THIS WEEKEND<br />
Bulls look to continue winning form<br />
• By Chris Barclay<br />
WHILE RUGBY league’s focus<br />
was further afield in Brisbane<br />
and the NRL final, closer to<br />
home the Canterbury Bulls<br />
opened their revised national<br />
championship in style at Nga<br />
Puna Wai on Sunday.<br />
Currently designated to play<br />
South Island opposition, an 82-6<br />
demolition of the West Coast<br />
Chargers means the Bulls can already<br />
anticipate a title showdown<br />
with opposition from the central<br />
North Island zone.<br />
Auckland is another option<br />
if the city’s three sides are still<br />
able to compete once Covid-19<br />
restrictions are downgraded.<br />
<strong>The</strong> New Zealand Rugby<br />
League is still determining<br />
whether the Akarana Falcons,<br />
Counties Manukau Stingrays<br />
and Auckland Vulcans can<br />
play after their campaigns were<br />
delayed further on Monday<br />
because they are still unable to<br />
train under amended alert level 3<br />
conditions.<br />
Waikato Mana and the Upper<br />
Central Vipers’ participation is<br />
also in jeopardy potentially leaving<br />
the Southern pool winner<br />
to play either the Mid Central<br />
Vipers or Wellington Orcas on<br />
<strong>October</strong> 30.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Bulls, badly beaten by<br />
the Falcons and Stingrays in<br />
last year’s four-team domestic<br />
competition should breeze into<br />

Horn back to defend bowls title<br />
A CHANGE of club has enabled<br />
Taylor Horn to defend his<br />
Burnside under-26 lawn bowls<br />
singles title with Auckland-based<br />
contenders unable to challenge<br />
for the crown due to Covid-19<br />
restrictions.<br />
Horn, who represented Mangere<br />
at the annual tournament<br />
in 2020, now competes for the<br />
Cambridge Central in the Waikato,<br />
a switch that enabled him<br />
to spearhead the 30-strong field<br />
of men and women when section<br />
play starts tomorrow.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re were two optimistic<br />
Auckland-based bowlers included<br />
in the competition draw but<br />
Adam Baillie (Port Chevalier)<br />
and Lee Warburton (Homai) had<br />
to drop out when the Government<br />
alert levels were reviewed<br />
on Monday.<br />
Tournament convener Kerrie<br />
Bruce found one replacement on<br />
Tuesday and if another competitor<br />
cannot be sourced byes will<br />
be factored into one of the four<br />
sections.<br />

is focused on the Bulls maintaining a<br />
good level of play.<br />
on Sunday and seven days later<br />
the Otago Whalers also head to<br />
Nga Puna Wai.<br />
Aware more mismatches await,<br />
Bulls head coach Andrew Auimatagi<br />
preferred to dwell on his<br />
rebuilding roster.<br />
“Your focus is on maintaining<br />
a good level of play and we executed<br />
really well, it was a pretty<br />
positive start,” he said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> average age is under 25 or<br />
thereabouts and at least half of<br />
them are new. <strong>The</strong>re’s only a couple<br />
of guys with veteran status.”<br />
An elusive fullback, Sincere<br />
Harraway was among a cluster of<br />
Taylor Horn<br />
Te Awamutu-based Horn is<br />
expected to face tough competition<br />
from 2018 champion and<br />
New Zealand international<br />
Seamus Curtin (Stokes Valley)<br />
while local hopes could rest on<br />
Burnside Bowling Club member<br />
Richard Hocking’s knowledge of<br />
his home greens.<br />
Hocking was the runner-up<br />
in 2016 and had an impressive<br />
2020-21 season, winning two<br />

of the year and sportsman of the<br />
year.<br />
Although players from Auckland<br />
and two Cook Islands-based<br />
bowlers invited through a new<br />
initiative this year are missing,<br />
Bruce was happy with the field<br />
after a challenging build up.<br />
“It’s been a trial this year, we’ve<br />
never had so many withdrawals,”<br />
she said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> inclusion of a trio of<br />
15-year-olds was a positive as the<br />
tournament regenerates, with<br />
Callum Cox (Burnside), Jack<br />
Bonner (Barrington United) and<br />

Grass tennis courts a<br />
priority at Wilding Park<br />
• By Chris Barclay<br />
A HISTORIC element of<br />
Wimbledon has taken root<br />
at Wilding Park with Tennis<br />
Canterbury’s headquarters<br />
now featuring grass courts to<br />
succeed their earthquakeravaged<br />
predecessors.<br />
In deference to the sport’s<br />
spiritual home, Wilding Park’s<br />
nine grass courts are based on<br />
the fescue/ryegrass mix traditionally<br />
used at the All England<br />
Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club<br />
in London.<br />
<strong>The</strong> regeneration of the<br />
grass courts, which replace a<br />
block wrecked by liquefaction<br />
during the February 22, 2011,<br />
earthquake, continues Tennis<br />
Canterbury’s goal of replicating<br />
the surfaces used by the sport’s<br />
grand slam events.<br />
Wilding Park already featured<br />
the hardcourts associated with<br />
the Australian and US Opens,<br />
Yuya Taguchi broke the<br />
deadlock in the 87th-minute, the<br />
first goal Western Suburbs had<br />
conceded in the competition.<br />
“You always want those<br />
chances dropping to the right<br />
player, I don’t think there’d be<br />
anyone as calm as Yuya in that<br />
situation,” said head coach Dan<br />
Schwarz.<br />
Cashmere Technical will play<br />
Wellington’s Miramar or North<br />
Shore United, the other semifinal<br />
is yet to be played due to<br />
Covid-19 restrictions.<br />
Meanwhile, a 92nd-minute<br />
Ollie Sims winner for Selwyn<br />
United against Nelson Suburbs<br />
secured a 2-1 victory which enabled<br />
the club to join Cashmere<br />
Technical in the National League<br />
after Christchurch United had<br />
their progress thwarted by a 4-3<br />
defeat to Dunedin’s South City<br />
Royals.<br />
Cricket<br />
St Albans open the defence<br />
of their premier grade men’s<br />
two-day title at Sumner when<br />
Christchurch Metro cricket gets<br />
under way on Saturday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> season was delayed for a<br />
week because Covid-19 restrictions<br />
meant an outfield renovation<br />
programme could not be<br />
completed.<br />
Riccarton host Burnside<br />
West University and Old Boys<br />
Collegians and Merivale Papanui<br />
- who replace the relegated<br />
Marist Harewood – meet at<br />
Elmwood Park. Sydenham enjoy<br />
home ground advantage against<br />
Lancaster Park.<br />
with grass now ticked off, mirroring<br />
the French Open’s red<br />
clay of Roland Garros is the<br />
next goal.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are six court designated<br />
for clay once funding is secured<br />
and until then they will also be<br />
grassed over.<br />
<strong>The</strong> grass courts should be<br />
used for the first time during<br />
the third round of the men’s<br />
and women’s premier grade<br />
competition on <strong>October</strong> 31, but<br />
they will not be reserved for<br />
elite players.<br />
“We’re trying to make sure<br />
have everybody in the interclub<br />
season has time on the courts,”<br />
said Tennis Canterbury’s operations<br />
manager Anthonie de<br />
Heer.<br />
However, one court will be<br />
off limits to serve as a feature<br />
court to enhance the club’s<br />
prospects of hosting a Davis<br />
Cup tie.

Nissan Navara comes to the rescue<br />
MY WIFE AND I have called it<br />
the week from hell.<br />
Firstly, our power went off<br />
thanks to a corroded wire from<br />
the street. While we thought we<br />
were well advanced in terms of<br />
preparedness – generator, gas<br />
cooker, torches and plenty of<br />
batteries – for 24 hours we struggled<br />
without electricity with an<br />
overnight low of a miserable -5<br />
deg C.<br />
Secondly, the fluctuating power<br />
surge as the wire arced against the<br />
house, spelt the end of one of our<br />
freezers, it was full of frozen food,<br />
quickly defrosting.<br />
Thankfully, and at short notice,<br />
we had a rental delivered until the<br />
time we could buy a new freezer<br />
and have it installed so no food<br />
was lost.<br />
That’s where Nissan’s new<br />
Navara ute comes in. We bought<br />
a new freezer and I used the ute<br />
to pick it up from the collection<br />
depot, I also used the vehicle<br />
to deliver the old freezer to the<br />
Parkhouse Rd recycling centre<br />
along with a dryer that had long<br />
been sitting in the garage unused<br />
and was well past its used by date.<br />
That’s where today’s double<br />
cab ute comes in, it’s not only the<br />
working vehicle with substantial<br />
off-road, four-wheel-drive ability,<br />
it’s the sedate and versatile carryall<br />
that will also whisk families to<br />
all those environments we travel<br />
to on a daily basis and, might I<br />
add, in comfort.<br />
Nissan has just released a new<br />
Navara, well, it’s a new shape with<br />
a major overhaul inside, but the<br />
mechanicals are largely a carryover.<br />
That’s fine, the 2.3-litre<br />
four-cylinder diesel engine is a<br />
cracker in terms of sophistication,<br />
so much so that Nissan must<br />
have the other ute manufacturers<br />
thinking hard about refinement.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Navara also has a complex<br />
rear suspension; gone are the<br />
old leaf springs that are mostly<br />
traditional with today’s pick-ups,<br />
the Navara has a coil spring,<br />
multiple-link set-up that locates<br />
the live rear axle. It eliminates a<br />
lot of the jiggle you get with utes<br />
over uneven surfaces.<br />
At the other end the twinturbocharged<br />
diesel is rated by<br />
Nissan at 140kW and 450Nm. <strong>The</strong><br />
origins of this engine hark back to<br />
Nissan’s early alliance with Renault<br />
and that collaboration shows,<br />
there are high power outputs and<br />
a smoothness that’s hard to match.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s no lumpy diesel throb here,<br />
it works away in a soft, silent manner<br />
and is very responsive. Not<br />
only do the power outputs impress<br />
through its 2298cc displacement,<br />
it is also a fuel miser.<br />
Nissan claims a 7.6-litre per<br />
100km combined cycle average.<br />
My time with the evaluation<br />
vehicle required a lot of inner-city<br />
running around incorporating<br />
those tasks I mentioned in my<br />
FOUR-WHEEL-DRIVE: Genuine off-road ability.<br />
NISSAN NAVARA ST-X: Home appliances are easily catered for on the ute’s deck..<br />
introduction. That being the<br />
case, I wasn’t expecting to come<br />
close to Nissan’s claims, but I<br />
did return it to the dealership<br />
with 9l/100km showing on the<br />
readout. On my long highway<br />
run to Hororata and Dunsandel,<br />
a steady 100km/h cruise had the<br />
engine sipping fuel at the rate of<br />
6l/100km instantaneously, the<br />
rev counter pointing to a lazy<br />
1750rpm in seventh gear.<br />
Yes, the ST-X has an automatic<br />
seven-speeder and it, too, is one<br />
of relative smoothness, shifts are<br />
quick and can be encouraged<br />
through a sequential shifting system<br />
at the main gearshift lever.<br />
Another interesting driveline<br />
function is the four-mode<br />
drive-type selector, it ranges<br />
from standard to sport, tow and<br />
off-road, I largely left it in normal<br />
mode, but for those who like to<br />
explore maximum efficiencies<br />
those modes are there to help.<br />
Elsewhere, the Navara is also<br />
very car-like to drive, sure at over<br />
5.2m it is a big vehicle and a trial<br />
to fit into a standard city metered<br />
car park, but it has a purpose<br />
and it’s unashamedly suited for<br />
that. On the deck you can load<br />
the traditional one-tonne, and it<br />
is rated with a 3500kg tow figure<br />
(braked).<br />
In terms of transportation it<br />
will also carry five adults, the rear<br />
seats don’t have a lot of rake but<br />
• Price – Nissan Navara ST-<br />
X, $57,490<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
5255mm; width, 1850mm;<br />
height, 1815mm<br />
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />
four-wheel-drive,<br />
2298cc, 140kW, 450Nm,<br />
seven-speed automatic<br />
• Performance – 0-100km/h,<br />
9.4sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 7.6l/100km<br />
they are easily as comfortable as<br />
any of the competition.<br />
Up front there are heated seats<br />
(full leather trim), and as much<br />
technology as you could expect<br />
from a modern ute. Satellite navigation<br />
is fitted in ST-X models<br />
along with cruise control and full<br />
electrics.<br />
On the highway the Navara<br />
moves quietly and with much<br />
dignity. In terms of handling it<br />
enters a corner with solid turn-in<br />
and little transition of weight. <strong>The</strong><br />
rear is far from lively and even<br />
though part of my highway evaluation<br />
was on wet roads, I never<br />
thought the suspension would<br />
let me down in terms of keeping<br />
the tyres gripping well the road<br />
surface.<br />
Interestingly, the Navara rides<br />
on 255/60 x 18in Toyo tyres and<br />
they must be commended for<br />
their quiet operating manner and<br />
effective feedback to the driver.<br />
Nissan has a comprehensive<br />
Navara line-up – single-cab, king<br />
cab and double cab – with two<br />
and four-wheel-drive drivelines<br />
and manual and automatic transmission<br />
options.<br />
<strong>The</strong> range starts from $41,990<br />
and ends at $67,990 for the flashy<br />
Pro 4X. I drove that model prior<br />
to picking up the ST-X and it<br />
made an immediate impression<br />
on me for its body kit and chunky<br />
tyres, yet, it too, drives in the<br />
civilised manner that this series<br />
of Navara can take enormous<br />
credit for.<br />
<strong>The</strong> ST-X on the other hand<br />
doesn’t miss out on much to the<br />
Pro 4X, but it is not so in-yourface<br />
in terms of style. That being<br />
the case, I’d easily settle for the<br />
base to mid-grade models.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new Navara comes at an<br />
opportune time. <strong>The</strong> Government<br />
tax on utes is set for January<br />
and buyers are flocking to them<br />
to save the extra cost that is expected<br />
to be somewhere between<br />
$2780-$5175.<br />
Nissan assures me supply is<br />
constant and interest in the newcomer<br />
is high. I can see why, it<br />
certainly sits as one of the market<br />
leaders.<br />
I know it certainly arrived in<br />
my driveway at an opportune<br />
time. My wife and I are so<br />
grateful.<br />

PAYING ATTENTION?<br />
Coming events cast their shadows before them!<br />
1. King David (beloveD) ruled God’s earthly kingdom. A<br />
warring king, not permitted to build the temple. (1 Kings<br />
5v3). Successor, King Solomon (beloveD, PeACeFUl) temple<br />
builder. (verse 5). Jesus Christ, God’s beloveD son (Mark<br />
1v11) greater than Solomon, (Matthew 12v42), at second<br />
coming, will destroy his enemies and earth’s polluters (Rev:<br />
11v18), build temple - followed by global peace.<br />
2. Consider. A woman has 3 trimesters (successive<br />
DIvISIoNS), then new birth. World War 1. balfour<br />
Declaration, Jews promise a homeland. W.W.2, Nazi<br />
holocaust. Incentive to return To THeIR oWN lAND.<br />
(ezekiel 37v21).<br />
TOMORROW’S NEW TODAY.<br />
W.W.3 Russian Invasion (eZeK. 38v16). Divine destruction<br />
(39v11). Rebuilt Israel’s borders from egypt’s river to River<br />
euphrates (Genesis 15v18). Re-birth of God’s Kingdom.<br />

Landscaping enhances new<br />
& existing homes<br />
Building in a housing subdivision<br />
invariably means the developer will<br />
require you to submit a landscaping<br />
plan along with your house design, to be<br />
approved before building commences.<br />
Just as important as considering<br />
the features for your home will be<br />
your outdoor setting. Indoor/outdoor<br />
requirements will influence your choice<br />
of house design and how it will be sited<br />
on the section for a sunny yard and best<br />
protection from prevailing winds like the<br />
easterly. Having a second courtyard area<br />
offering shelter from the north-west wind<br />
is also an advantage in Selwyn.<br />
A well thought out landscape plan will<br />
also incorporate off-street parking space<br />
for vehicles while ensuring your home<br />
is attractive from the street. You might<br />
want to factor in parking for a caravan,<br />
motorhome or extra vehicles as well as a<br />
turning circle for safe turning and exiting<br />
your property (a legal requirement for<br />
back sections).<br />
<strong>The</strong> developer will only want to see a<br />
landscape outline for the part of your<br />
property which will be on view from the<br />
street.<br />
When choosing the design for your<br />
home, address where you want hard<br />
surfaces (driveway, paths and patios),<br />
lawn, play areas and garden beds so it is<br />
suitably positioned on the section. Even if<br />
not all hard surface areas are completed at<br />
the end of the build, knowing where they<br />
will be located will be helpful.<br />
If your build is nearing completion,<br />
autumn is a good time to sow grass as the<br />
cooler morning and evening dew assists<br />
growth. As winter descends on us, ready<br />
lawn is a better option at least at the front<br />

Your backyard could be left until spring<br />
(another good time for seeding a lawn)<br />
if you are happy to put up with the mud<br />
over winter.<br />
When selling an existing home, putting<br />
effort into landscaping your yard could<br />
add value by presenting a good first<br />
impression and attracting buyers.<br />
You need not rip out overgrown<br />
established plants. Selective culling and<br />
pruning can make a huge difference<br />
to the look of a garden. Avoid hacking<br />
everything down low. Instead take out<br />
sprawling branches and thin shoots,<br />
leaving a solid trunk; planting flowers like<br />
lobelia, primula, pansies and polyanthus<br />
underneath for impact. Add a layer of<br />
mulch and spray the lawn for weeds then<br />
follow up with lawn fertiliser to give a lush<br />
green look.<br />
<strong>The</strong> first thing people see is your home’s<br />
exterior – the cladding, colours and<br />
landscaping. Putting effort into these<br />
features has the potential to add value to<br />
new and existing properties. A garden<br />
need not be masses of work. Planning and<br />
choosing the right plants for the location<br />
and your lifestyle can create a relatively<br />
low maintenance outdoor setting while<br />
enhancing your home.<br />
