fun run

goes

back to

the future

CITY2SURF veterans will

remember crossing the finish line

at New Brighton beach – and now

the route is a step closer to the fun

run’s original concept.

For the first time since the 2011

earthquake, a coastal component

returns to the popular exercise for

dedicated athletes, casual runners,

corporate teams and school

groups.

In a tilt to history, the 2022

Les Mills-branded edition,

scheduled for March 20, will start

at Cathedral Square and end at

Rawhiti Domain, turning the tide

after Ferrymead was the quakerelated

end point.

The fun run, which is expected

to attract 12,000 entrants, debuted

in 1974 and for the first four years

it finished on the sand before

reverting to a fitting athletic

destination, QE II Park.

“It’s a huge deal for our team

as we have wanted to return this

event to its pre-quakes course

for a while now,” said City2Surf

manager Jon Holmes.

“This will be a great opportunity

to bring people to the east of the

city and to generate a great buzz.”

There is also a modern twist for

participants tackling the 12km

classic route or shorter 6km

distance with chip timing.

Airport solar plan ‘world leading’

• By Emily Moorhouse

MEET LUCKY, the six-year-old

sheep that thinks he’s a dog.

Lucky is a bit different to

most sheep – he walks along the

Heathcote River every evening

with his owner Caroline Thomson.

He trots happily beside her,

tugging on his leash every now

and then to nibble at a daisy.

Lucky is great with dogs he

encounters on walks and enjoys

little kids giving him a hug.

“He’s quite happy to have

people pat him. He likes to say

hello,” said Thomson.

“It’s amazing the people you see

that say ‘you don’t see that everyday’

or ‘that’s made my day’.”

When the pair arrive home,

Lucky performs some tricks for

Thomson, in the hope he will get

some of his favourite alpaca nuts.

He knows sit, stay, shake,

jump, bow, pose, turn and many

more, as Thomson trained him

from when he was a little lamb.

She tells people he knows 20

commands but thinks it’s closer

to 25.

The pair met six years ago

when Thomson’s sister and

brother-in-law, who have sheep

down in Burkes Pass, between

Fairlie and Lake Tekapo, had

a ewe that birthed triplets, but

only managed to feed two of her

lambs.

Thomson went down for a visit

and tried to help the third lamb

CHRISTCHURCH AIRPORT

will facilitate a renewable power

plant and energy park capable

of generating an electricity

supply for 30,000 homes, and has

pledged to free up more land for

the project.

Christened Kowhai Park when

launched yesterday, the venture

initially incorporates solar power

and ultimately it will produce

environmentally friendly fuel for

air and land transport.

It will be built on 400 hectares

of airport-owned land northwest

of where the airport’s two

runways intersect.

The project is intended to scale

up over 30 years, with the goal of

producing 150 megawatts of electricity,

around a fifth of Christchurch’s

existing residential use.

“If 400 hectares isn’t ultimately

enough, we have options across

the campus to double this footprint

over time,” said Christchurch

Airport chief executive

Malcolm Johns.

The first stage of the project

will be funded with $100 million

latch onto its mother but had no

luck. Then her sister had an idea.

“My sister said to me ‘do you

want a lamb?’ and I said ‘yes!’”

Thomson said.

Life with Lucky took a bit of

adjusting as Thomson juggled

looking after him with studying.

During the day she would drop

from Solar Bay, an Australian

renewable energy fund.

Solar Bay investment director

Jack Sherratt said Kowhai Park

would accelerate Canterbury’s

low-carbon future.

“There is nothing else like this

in New Zealand – it’s innovative,

far ahead of its time and

absolutely world-leading in every

sense,” he said.

Sherratt added the bank of

solar panels would be “50 times

larger than any existing array in

the country – and it’s just

It’s all in a day’s walk for Lucky

Lucky off to her sister and pick

him up again in the afternoon,

until he grew too big.

Then she kept Lucky in her

garden on a long leash before

investing in an electric fence pen.

In his pen lies a bucket of

water, a mini shed for sleeping,

a football that he pushes around

the beginning”.

The flat, sunny location near

Orion’s lines network and

Transpower’s national grid pylons

made it ideal, he said.

Johns said the project was

designed to allow the economy to

“decarbonise at the fastest possible

rate”.

The airport aimed to be

carbon neutral before 2030 in

regard to powering its terminal

and vehicles, while the project

would allow other businesses to

transition.

Lucky enjoys his time spent

with Thomson and even ventures

down to Burkes Pass in the back

of her car for family gatherings.

“He’s basically like a dog,”

she said. “He’s a very good

companion.”

HAVING FISH and chips in

the park is nothing out of the

ordinary for many families.

But for Ruth Markham-

Short and Jeremy Smith, their

outing with family and friends

at Redcliffs Park had special

significance.

They gathered to celebrate

and remember their 23-monthold

son, Reuben Smith,

who tragically died from

meningococcal septicemia nearly

a year ago.

“It’s about a bit of time with

Reubs, the anniversary is coming

up. The lead up to it is hard.

Being here with family and

having something to celebrate is

nice,” said Ruth.

The celebration at Monday’s

gathering was for the installation

of new swings at the park in

memory of Reuben, who would

go there with his parents.

Reuben was a healthy boy

who had not been sick before,

so when he woke at 4am on

December 17 with a high

temperature, it was unusual.

He showed signs of having a

stomach bug. Then at 10am that

day, Ruth and Jeremy took him

to the local medical centre.

By noon, it became clear there

was something seriously wrong.

Reuben had developed a rash

and was rushed to hospital to

be treated for meningococcal

septicemia, an infection of the

bloodstream that causes organs

to shut down.

By 2.30pm Reuben was in ICU.

Said Jeremy: “When we went

into ICU to see him he was just

a different boy. The rash had

spread all over him, he was

purple. It’s so brutal, it’s the

worst disease.”

The doctors and nurses did

everything they could for

Reuben but his body had started

to shut down and there was

nothing more they could do.

“We were told about an hour

before he passed that there was

a high chance that he wouldn’t

make it,” said Jeremy.

At 5.10pm that day, Reuben

died.

Said Ruth: “It was just so fast,

so fast . . . It’s a bit like having

your kid tied to the railway

tracks and seeing the train

coming and not being able to do

anything about it.”

Said Jeremy: “It went from

waking up at four in the

morning, thinking he’s got a

tummy bug, to him passing away

at 10 past five that night.”

Up to 15 per cent of people

carry the bacteria that causes

meningococcal disease. The

chances of Reuben dying from it

were .0002 per cent, his parents

were told.

When Reuben died,

the Redcliffs and Sumner

community rallied together

to raise money to support

his parents. Now that money

has been donated back to the

community in the form of new

swings, Reuben’s favourite thing

to play on. The purple swing

set, Reuben’s favourite colour,

was installed at the weekend.

The community raised $4800

for Ruth and Jeremy, which was

used to pay for the swings.

“We wanted to do something

meaningful with [the money].

We wanted to give back,” said

Ruth.

The swings are a way to say

thank you to the Redcliffs

and Sumner community for

supporting Ruth and Jeremy

through the most difficult year

of their lives. The swing set gives

Ruth and Jeremy a place to go to

remember their son. A plaque

will go up for Reuben on the

boulder in front of the swings

“It’s a gift from us but in some

ways it’s been healing for us,”

said Ruth.

young Reuben

After hearing about Reuben,

many people in Redcliffs,

where he went to pre-school,

vaccinated their children against

meningococcal, said Ruth.

“It’s too late for us but if we can

stop anyone else going through

what we’ve been through.”

Ruth and Jeremy said Reuben

was a “dream of a child.”

He was happy, full of energy

and extremely observant. He

loved exploring his world,

animals and the sandpit, often

coming home from pre-school

with sand in his pants.

Reuben left an impression on a

lot of people.

His teachers at St James

Preschool described him as one

of the most relaxed kids they’d

had.

“We were proud of him, he

was a really special child,” said

Jeremy.

Said Ruth: “It’s tempting

just to shut yourself off, live an

unhealthy lifestyle and try to

forget, but Reuben didn’t get

the choice that we get. We get

a choice to live, so as hard as it

was, we just try to do our best for

him.”

Ruth and Jeremy will be able

to take their eight-week-old son

Rupert to play on the swings

when he is older. Baby Rupert has

helped to heal his parents.

Said Jeremy: “A big part of me

is gone, but since having Rupert,

that big part of me that has been

lost has come back.”

MEMORY: Friends and family gathered at Redcliffs Park for

fish and chips and a play on the new swing.

‘We’re not snowflakes, so it’s fine’

• Watch the video starnews.co.nz


ONE SECOND Jacob Ohs

was driving, the next he was

skidding upside down after

colliding with a car on State

Highway 1 Johns Rd.

Ohs, 17, along with his four

friends in the car, were lucky to

walk away from the crash with

no, or only superficial, injuries

after sliding upside down for

what they thought was more

than 100m.

Ohs said they were in the right

lane heading north towards the

Sawyers Arms Rd roundabout

when a vehicle in the left lane

changed lanes. His vehicle

clipped the back of it and he

lost control.

The crash comes as Waka

Kotahi NZ Transport Agency

warns drivers about road safety

as summer approaches. Canterbury

has the highest number

of road deaths with 45 people

having died on the road in the

past year.

When the car stopped skidding,

Ohs said he could smell

petrol so everyone wanted to get

out straight away.

Jordan Anderson, 17, was the

first to get out. Ohs was stuck

under the steering wheel so he

pulled him out.

“He wasn’t screaming so he

obviously wasn’t in pain so I just

pulled him out,” Anderson said.


AFTERMATH: Police

examine the damaged

motorway safety fence on

SH1 Johns Rd, where the

crash happened. Oliver

Korunic was one of the

passengers of the vehicle

that flipped upside down.

“[We’re] just a bit mentally

and physically scarred but, you

know, we’re not snowflakes so

it’s fine,” Anderson said of how

lucky they were.

Said another passenger

Brindon White, 18: “I was on

my phone just watching TikTok

then next second we’re upside

down and I hit the roof.

Yeah, nah, it was a wee bit

scary.”

Ohs said he his first thoughts

were to make sure everyone was

okay.

“They’re more important to

me than the car. If I was in the

hospital or one of my friends

were in the hospital then I’d be

carrying that.”

Polo star death: Bid to quash conviction fails

• By Devon Bolger

AN ENGINEER hoping to have

his conviction quashed for hiding

the clothes of a US polo star after

she died at his house has had his

appeal dismissed.

Joseph Douglas McGirr was

found guilty of attempting to

pervert the course of justice at a

trial in March last year.

It related to the death of Lauren

Biddle, who died suddenly,

most likely of a drug overdose,

at McGirr’s Clifton property on

October 22, 2018.

He denied supplying the

22-year-old the class B controlled

drug MDMA, also known as

ecstasy, but was found guilty

of burying her clothes and

belongings.

Judge Tom Gilbert sentenced

McGirr to 20 months’

imprisonment but later cancelled

the jail sentence and substituted

it with eight months’ home

detention.

In a Court of Appeal decision,

McGirr argued the judge

misdirected the jury as to the

grounds for conviction, in an

unspecified manner, and erred in

ruling the proposed evidence of a

medical expert inadmissible.

“The written submissions of Mr

Bailey [McGirr’s lawyer] argued

that a miscarriage of justice

occurred because the judge

omitted to direct the jury that

they needed to be sure

Mr McGirr interfered, not only

with the police investigation

into Ms Biddle’s death, but also

with the prosecution which

might have arisen out of the

investigation,” it said.

But the court has denied the

appeal.

“We are not satisfied there was

any material misdirection which

could be viewed as resulting in

a miscarriage of justice,” the

decision said.

He was acquitted on the drug

charges by a jury late last year but

was found guilty on a charge of

attempting to pervert the court of

justice.

During the four-day trial last

year, the jury heard two accounts

of what happened on that tragic

night – one version from North

Canterbury polo player Guy

McGirr himself took the

witness stand to explain how

he was “freaking out” after

witnessing someone just die

“in front of my eyes” and how

he buried Biddle’s clothes and

belongings in an act of “spiritual

reconciliation.”

He claimed he had an

“innate desire to do something

reverential” with her belongings

and wanted to “commemorate

her life.”

“At no time did I ever try to

hide anything from the police,”

McGirr told the court.

“I was very upset and shocked,

affected by alcohol and drugs.”

Biddle’s bikini top has never

been found, the court heard.

TV’s controversial Bachelor a marriage

celebrant for ‘impromptu weddings’

NEW COMMITMENT: Former star of The Bachelor Jordan Mauger, who

notoriously split with his chosen one Fleur Verhoeven, has joined the

ranks of NZ’s marriage celebrants. PHOTOS: NZ HERALD/FACEBOOK

• By Chris Barclay

A REALITY TV rogue who left

his supposed love – admittedly

chosen with the ‘flip of a coin’

– has taken the plunge, as a

marriage celebrant.

It remains to be seen if playing

the villain on The Bachelor is

beneficial for business, though

arguably that role might cause

less brand damage than, say,

leaving a bride at the altar in

Married at First Sight.

Jordan Mauger revealed the

side hustle via Facebook on

Monday, proclaiming himself:

“Your Celebrant in a Swannie

(and stubbies).

“Appointed by Registrar-

General as a Marriage Celebrant

has to authority to solemnise

marriages in New Zealand.

“Something I’ve always wanted

to do, and spent time in lockdown

to make it official. Ready

to tie knots and rattle dagz this

summer.

“Specialises in impromptu

weddings for film crew shooting

on location.”

The announcement included

an image of a bearded Mauger,

resplendent in a red-and-black

Swandri jacket and bow tie, with

a happy couple photoshopped in

the foreground, a lake serving as

the backdrop.

Mauger, the son of city councillor

and mayoral aspirant Phil

Mauger, came to prominence in

the second season of The Bachelor

in 2016.

At the climax of the series

Mauger chose Fleur Verhoeven

over runner-up Naz Khanjani, a

landscaper from Christchurch.

However, he split with the

Waipawa youth worker soon

after; Khanjani subsequently

revealed she had an intimate

relationship with the television

and film producer.

Mauger, who copped brickbats

rather than bouquets for describing

his selection of Verhoeven

over Khanjani as a coin flip,

joined Department of Internal

Affairs-approved marriage celebrants

about a month ago.

“I always seem to be invited to

be the MC so I thought this would

be the next step, it’ll be a hobby of

mine,” said Mauger, who has his

first booking in March.

He envisaged loved-up couples

in the local film industry as

potential clients.

“In the past I’ve seen a couple

of weddings on location while

filming.

“A couple of people have

used location shoots to their

advantage. You’ve got all your

friends there, you’ve already got

a caterer, you’ve got this beautiful

location and they say, ‘On

our day off why don’t we do a

wedding?’.”

Mauger downplayed his ‘bachelor’

days as a selling point.

“It’s five years ago now, I won’t

be using that as a marketing

tool. I don’t want anything to

distract from the couple’s

big day.”

Convicted sex worker killer wants

$7500 for religious rights ‘breach’

• By Kurt Bayer

CONVICTED sex worker

killer Sainey Marong is suing

Corrections and a prison

over access to the Koran on

compact disc.

Marong, 36, a practising

Muslim, is serving a life

sentence with a minimum

non-parole period of 18 years

after being found guilty of

murdering Renee Duckmanton

in May 2016.

Sainey

Marong

Renee

Duckmanton

The Gambian butcher

was subject to a deportation

order when he picked up

Duckmanton from the city’s

red light district, strangled her

to death, and set her body on

fire.

He was found guilty after a

High Court trial in Christchurch

in February 2018.

But this week he was back

in court, seeking $7500 in

damages after claiming that

his religious rights had been

breached.

Although he got a copy

of the Koran more than five

years ago, in April this year

while he was at Christchurch

Men’s Prison, he requested the

religious text via compact disc

(CD) audio recording.

Given its length, however,

the full Koran spanned 17

CDs.

Prison rules stated that prisoners

were allowed just 12 in

their cells at any given time.

However, when prison

bosses allowed the move some

five weeks later, Marong had

been transferred to nearby

Rolleston Prison.

Crown Solicitor Mark

Zarifeh told Justice Jan-Marie

Doogue it appeared “unfortunately

that information was

not passed on”.

The new prison bosses told

Marong he was only allowed

12 CDs at a time – although he

was told he could swap them

out for others whenever he

wanted to.

By the time the “mistake”

was corrected, and Marong

was given all 17 CDs that

made up the Koran, he had

filed legal action.

He claims that he is entitled

to damages because his

religious rights have been

breached or impeded.

Marong, appearing from

prison via audio visual link to

represent himself, told Justice

Doogue while the case might

appear to be “just about CDs”,

it raised important religious

issues.

He said there was significant

public interest in the proceeding.

He raised the March 15,

2019 terror attacks and also

cited the New Zealand Bill of

Rights Act and Corrections

Act.

He says he sought $7500 in

damages and was arguing not

just for himself but “all prisoners

whose religious rights are

being ignored” by Corrections.

Zarifeh denied that

Marong’s religious rights, nor

his right to practise his religion,

have been impeded.

Justice Doogue reserved her

decision.

After he was convicted,

Marong lodged an appeal to

the Court of Appeal.

But his appeal bid failed

before he tried his luck at the

Supreme Court, claiming a

miscarriage of justice, but

again failed.

During the harrowing twoweek

trial, Marong admitted

strangling Duckmanton after

picking her up and setting her

body on fire.

But he denied that he meant

to kill her, and had no murderous

intent, claiming he was

insane at the time, suffering

mental impairment and

delusional psychotic thoughts

which began after voluntarily

stopping his insulin medication

early in 2016.

The jury, however,

sided with Crown and its

“overwhelming” evidence,

dismissing Marong’s

claims that he had been

“disconnected from reality”

at the time he killed

Duckmanton, and that from

May 6-17, he was poisoned by

kidney failure that resulted in

urine “travelling in my brain”.

A psychiatrist and a

psychologist, who both

assessed Marong before he

stood trial, concluded that he

did not meet the criteria for a

defence of insanity.

Terror attack, bestiality videos and

drugs land deviant back in prison

• By Anna Leask

A CHRISTCHURCH man with

hundreds of convictions and

once deemed a risk to teenage

girls because of his deviant lewd

offending is back behind bars

after he was caught selling drugs

and with objectionable videos

on his phone of the 2019 terror

attack and bestiality.

Kevan Beria Greer was

sentenced in the district court

after earlier pleading guilty to

offering to sell cannabis and

Methylphenidate and possessing

objectionable material.

Most of the charges were

representative, which means

police believe he committed

multiple offences of the same

type in similar circumstances.

The objectionable material

charge relates to a swathe of

videos found on Greer’s phone,

including part of the footage of

the March 15 mosque attacks

that the gunman live-streamed

to the internet.

Within days of the attack –

where 51 people were shot dead

and 40 others wounded – the

government classified the footage

as objectionable.

Under New Zealand law,

sharing and/or downloading

objectionable content is an

offence because of the harm it

can cause.

Greer admitted to possessing

a clip of the video that was just

over a minute long.

He also admitted possessing

a 1min 19sec long video of

two men sitting against a wall

and tied up, both partially

decapitated with a chainsaw and

a knife.

On the same phone he had

three videos depicting bestiality,

including adult men and a

woman violating a chicken, dog

and fish.

The material was found in

September 2019 during a search

warrant executed by police

investigating Greer for selling

drugs.

He pleaded guilty to supplying

cannabis on at least 22 occasions

and Methylphenidate 11 times.

Methylphenidate is the active

ingredient in prescription drugs

Ritalin, Rubefin and Concerta

OBJECTIONABLE: Footage of the March 15 mosque attack was among the videos found on

Kevan Greer’s phone.

PHOTO: GETTY

used to treat attention deficit

hyperactivity disorder.

Ritalin and cannabis also

played a part in Greer’s earlier

offending when he was caught

luring Christchurch schoolgirls

with drugs in exchange for

sexual favours.

Greer, then 45, staked out

Burnside High School and

tempted uniformed teenage

girls into his van parked outside

school where he offered them

cannabis.

In return, he got the girls –

aged 15 and 16 – to expose their

breasts and bodies for him to

photograph.

At the sentencing, Judge

Tom Gilbert heard Greer

had a “traumatic” life that

included “incredibly horrific”

mistreatment when he was

young.

Defence lawyer Todd Nicholls

said the experience set Greer “on

a downward spiral” and led to

him getting involved with drugs

and criminal offending.

Nicholls said before

sentencing, Greer had “opened

himself up to explain the reasons

of his offending” for the first

time.

“He had a very difficult

childhood and he is paying the

price for it,” he told Gilbert.

Greer struggled with

depression and physical health

issues that left him in “great

pain.”

Judge Gilbert said in court that

Greer had “11 to 12 pages” of

previous convictions.

But he commended the

recidivist offender on engaging

with the writer of a pre-sentence

report and for being “drug-free

for the last year.”

“There were adverse events in

your childhood which have had

a real impact on you and your

life,” Gilbert told Greer.

“You’ve struggled with alcohol,

and drugs have been a real issue

for a number of years.”

However, although that helped

to understand the offending it

was not an excuse for it.

He sentenced Greer to two

years and five months in prison.

In 2013, he pleaded guilty to

charges that between January

1 and May 24, 2013, Greer “did

enter into a dealing” with two

girls under the age of 18 for the

purpose of sexual exploitation.

He also admitted supplying

cannabis, as well as three charges

of possessing cannabis and

the class B controlled drugs

morphine and Ritalin.

Police watched the girls enter

the van, which had curtains

guarding the illicit deals in the

back, before they pounced on

Greer.

The two teenagers admitted

allowing the photographs to be

taken in exchange for drugs and

cigarettes.

Officers also found $14,000

stashed inside the van, as well as

thousands of dollars in cannabis,

morphine and Ritalin.

Text data recovered from

Greer’s cellphone established he

had sold cannabis to 20 “schoolage

students” over a five-month

period.

Justice John Fogarty sentenced

Greer to four and a half years in

prison.

“The long-term effects on

the community of supplying

cannabis to students is very

serious,” he said at the November

2013 hearing.

Greer was then refused early

release from prison by the Parole

Board in 2016 after it deemed he

was still a risk to teenage girls

due to his “distorted beliefs and

attitudes.”

At the Parole Board hearing,

Greer told the board naked

young girls did not sexually

interest him, in spite of police

finding 17 photographs of six

females in “various stages of

undress exposing their genitals

or breasts” on his digital camera.

He denied selling or giving the

girls drugs in return for exposing

their bodies to him.

“We do not believe his denial,”

said the Parole Board.

“His criminal propensity

to deceive is illustrated in his

extensive – over 100 – fraud/

deception related crimes.”

The board heard that Greer

had a “depressing” criminal

history of 161 convictions since

1983.

A psych report provided to

the board recommended Greer

undergo intensive one-to-one

counselling to gain an insight

into his offending and develop a

strong safety plan.

House badly damaged

in suspicious fire

BURNT OUT: The left side of the house was severely

damaged by the fire.


A SUSPICIOUS fire badly

damaged a house in Sydenham

on Tuesday night.

Fire specialist investigator

Bruce Irvine said the house on

King St was vacant and they

were looking for signs of forced

entry.

The fire broke out about 11pm.

“We need people to understand

that smoke alarms are

going to save their lives,” he said.

According to neighbour Jason

Alexander, the house had been

unoccupied for three weeks.

Alexander said he woke

around 10.30pm to the sound

of the fire hissing and crackling

and used the hose try put it out.

Irvine said if anyone had

any information on what happened

to contact the police on

105.

Irvine said it’s best for house

owners to turn the power off

to a property if it’s vacant to

eliminate any possible admission

sources.

ENJOY THE MODERN LIFESTYLE

OFFERED AT KEVIN HICKMAN VILLAGE

The sky is the limit at Kevin Hickman

Retirement Village, as the first stage of luxury

apartments emerge from the ground.

Prospective residents from all around

the region have been popping down to

Steadman Road to view the construction

progressing on the new apartments

and townhouses.

The village will have views out toward the

Southern Alps, and over Riccarton Park

Racecourse, located just next door.

Sales Advisor Wendy Kappler says the village

will include elevated viewing decks so that

residents can enjoy race days.

The village will also offer a tranquil

setting with a feature pond and

scenic pathways around the village.

It could be easy to forget that you’re in a

central location.

Both the apartment and townhouse living

options are proving to be incredibly

popular. The initial townhouses, built along

Steadman Road, sold quickly, with 26 residents

already calling the village home.

The second stage of townhouses which

will be built soon have also fully sold,

however there are further townhouse

stages to come. Wendy says this

enthusiasm has prompted her to advise

anyone with an interest in a townhouse

to get in quick. We have a no obligation

waitlist, where people can register to be

the first to hear when new plans are

available to view.

There is also an independent apartment

living option available. Wendy and colleagues,

Anthea Johnson and Sharon Maich, have

sold 20 apartments in the first stage

release. The new residents will move in from

the end of July 2022. There are still one

and two-bedroom apartments available in

this stage.

These homes will feature spacious open

plan living areas, fully tiled bathrooms with

a walk in ‘wet floor’ shower, and modern

kitchens with stone bench tops finished with

a waterfall edge. “Seeing the apartments

go up…watching every day… it’s so exciting,”

Wendy says.

Construction gallops ahead

Construction has also started on the

basement level of the village centre.

Once completed the village centre will

include a café, swimming pool, gym and more.

The construction team that enable such

beautiful fitouts to occur are led by Project

Manager Andrew Inch. Andrew says the

build is going according to plan which is great

considering the lockdowns and supply holdups

resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

There is already a wonderful community

forming at the Riccarton Park village. The new

Village Manager, Liz Hampton, was previously

the village manager at Ryman’s Woodcote

Retirement Village and worked there for

10 years.

The rest of the team, which includes

Gardener, Grace Armstrong and

Activities & Lifestyle Coordinator,

Tracey Herron, are busy planning for the

first Christmas at the village.

Those who are interested in moving to the

village, can sign up now and have at least

six months to sell their current property.

One and two-bedroom apartments are selling now from $625,000.

Many of these apartments will feature unique views over the racing

chute while others will have views of manicured gardens.

THE STAGE one projected cost

of the single runway Western

Sydney Airport has risen to

between $6-8 billion AUD, eight

years to build, 3500 workers on

site and 63,000 expected aircraft

movements with 10m passenger

per annum.

At some stage it would be

great to see some detail on how

the Christchurch Airport company

plans to finance the Tarras

project or find (and house) the

numbers of workers needed.

The projected figures for daily

aircraft movements and passenger

numbers would be most

interesting.

That’s just the start as when all

the other daily airport requirements

requiring hundreds of

people to staff customs, baggage,

fire services, engineering, freight

services ticketing, etc, where

these skilled people will come

from and where will they and

their families will live?

There will be massive roading

and other infrastructure

requirements needed and the

Christchurch Airport will have a

reduction of aircraft movements,

less passenger and landing fees,

less retail turnover, etc, and the

multiplier of less demand on

Christchurch accommodation

and other associated services and

reduction of dividend return to

ratepayers.

Does this project make sense

or is it just grandiose nonsense?

–NG Smith

Merivale

Braided rivers

expense

I see that Environment Canterbury

has just wasted considerable

money on employing two

scientists to report on braid

rivers of Canterbury, which has

tried to implicate that harm is

being done by farmers to the

system.

There is only one problem


Tarras airport plan: Good sense or nonsense?

with the rivers that is the shingle

build up. This has been going on

for hundreds of years. The rivers

build up a charge course.This

process is continuous. I can’t

understand why we have shingle

pits and quarries when it would

do some good if it was removed

from our river beds.

Just another example of

regional council excess. Why do

we need them? They don’t do anything

that district councils can’t

do. Just another bureaucratic

cost. Brought in by Norman Kirk

it is now time to look at their

removal.

–Alan Roberts

Star readership

The Star deserves its readership

growth as more of us come to

realise that community papers

are our life-blood. Some may be

happy to pay dollars every day

to read about the correct way to

wear a mask, the Tamaki fiasco

or Joe Biden’s polyp, but we can

see that on TV if we want, AND

receive for free, a weekly dose of

what’s happening right here via

our Star.

I very much appreciate our

mayor’s response to my letter of

just last week. We will only ever

get that speedy attention from a

newspaper which fits our unique

demographic.

And as if on cue, reporter

Chris Barclay responds to

Lianne’s call for positivity, with

the encouraging story of Vinny

Holloway and Oliver Hickman

and their plans to take the “ugly”

out of higher density housing development.

Keep it coming Star.

House design

I’m amazed at how some

are the same. Terrible design I

think.

All Blacks coach

No doubt about it Scott Robertson

should be the All Black

coach. He should have got the

job over Foster at the end of 2019

and then they extended Foster

through to the World Cup in

August.

Robertson’s record speaks for

itself, five titles in a row with

the Crusaders, etc. Foster has

undermined the confidence

of brilliant players like Richie

Mo’unga, and David Havili.

Richie’s form was brilliant for

the Crusaders and for the All

Blacks before his paternity leave.

Sadly, we have already seen NZ

Rugby reaffirming their support

for Foster.

Mum Finally Discovers Skin Cream ADVERTISEMENT

KORU NUTRITION

Being a mum, there

isn’t anything that Claudia

wouldn’t do for her children.

When her eight year old

son, Jaxon, began to get red,

irritated, dry skin on his face,

Claudia felt helpless to do

anything about it.

“I am very fortunate that

Jaxon is such a brave young

man. Though it was so visual,

it didn’t cause him any

social problems. So while it

wasn’t a problem now, we

wanted to get a head start and

find something that would

manage it before Jaxon got

to his teenage years. They

are difficult enough, without

facial skin irritations.”

“We tried numerous things,

but we wanted to stay natural.

Finding something natural

that a child can have is a lot

harder than you might think.”

One day, Claudia had a

phone call from her motherin-law.

She had come across

a newspaper article in which

a mother was talking about

her son’s skin irritations.

They had started using this

all natural cream.

“I was becoming skeptical,

as we had already tried so

many different creams. I

rang up Koru Nutrition and

ordered one bottle of Skin

Fx. Rubbing it on, we really

liked what we saw. We have

not looked back since.”

Skin Fx is designed to

soothe, nourish, protect

and moisturize skin.

Dermatologically tested,

Koru’s Skin Fx is a nongreasy

formula made in New

Zealand without any nasty

chemicals or fillers.

“I am so happy to have

found Skin Fx. I don’t have

to think about Jaxon’s skin

worrying him, we have

something that will manage

and soothe. It even helped

moisturise my daughter’s

skin when her hands dried

out with all the hand washing

and sanitisers last year.”

“We order multiple bottles

of it at a time now … but that

might be because it is now

part of my own skin routine!

It is just so good on your

skin.”

With nineteen all-natural

ingredients and no chemicals,

Always read the label and use as directed. If symptoms persist, see your healthcare professional. Koru Nutrition, Christchurch.

fillers or nasties, Skin Fx

soothes, nourishes and

protects your skin with fast

results.

Made in New Zealand

from local and imported

ingredients, Skin Fx is

setting the bar for naturally

moisturising and soothing

skin irritations. If your skin

is prone to irritation, redness,

dryness or flaking, then don’t

just take our word for it. Ask

for Skin Fx cream next time

you’re in the pharmacy and

OUR PEOPLE – MICHAEL PLANK

Covid modelling, mathematics and

Michael Plank, a

keen outdoorsman

from England’s Peak

District, was drawn to

New Zealand by its

unspoiled wilderness.

Now a professor in the

School of Mathematics

and Statistics at Ilam,

he finds himself with a

veritable mountain to

climb as his adopted

home navigates the

Covid-19 pandemic.

Chris Barclay quizzes

the academic about

his most complex

assignment

Your research profile

at Canterbury University

describes you as an expert in

mathematical modelling of

complex biological and social

systems at multiple scales,

from intracellular signalling

and collective cell behaviour,

through to large ecosystem

dynamics. We’ll put 2+2

together and figure you’ve

always been interested in

mathematics.

It definitely started at (primary)

school when I was growing up

in a village called Hathersage

ENGLISHMAN ABROAD: Covid-19 modeller Michael Plank calls Christchurch home after

growing up in picturesque Hathersage, the reputed resting place of Robin Hood’s trusted

lieutenant ‘Little John’.

(the reputed resting place of

‘Little John’, one of Robin Hood’s

‘Merry Men’). It’s between

Sheffield and Manchester. Maths

always seemed to make sense

to me at that age. I was hopeless

at english. When I went to

university maths was the

obvious choice.

You have a BSc (Hons)

in mathematics from the

University of Bristol (2000) and

a PhD in applied mathematics

from the University of Leeds

in 2003. The following year

you ended up in New Zealand’s

‘English’ city, didn’t you?

I came to Christchurch,

supposedly for a two-year

fellowship and for the adventure,

tramping and mountains.

I fell in love with the lifestyle

and in 2006 I got a job on the

academic staff as a lecturer.

From the Jack Erskine

building on campus you can

glimpse the Southern Alps in

the distance, but opportunities

to explore the great outdoors

have been few and far between,

haven’t they, thanks to your

role as a principal investigator

at Te Punaha Matatini, New

Zealand’s Centre of Research

Excellence in Complex Systems

and Data Analytics.

It was established in 2015 (to

weave together Aotearoa New

Zealand’s leading researchers

in quantitative and qualitative

science, social science and the

humanities, per its ‘Our Story’).

It became clear there was a bit of

a Covid-19 information gap and

there weren’t many groups in a

position to provide modelling

results to the Government. A

group of 12-15 of us – it fluctuates

– try to fill that gap.

The coronavirus pandemic’s

lexicon has added ‘Covid-19

modeller’ to our vocabulary.

Fancy breaking down the

modelling concept for those of

us who dropped maths as soon

as we could?

Yeah, ah (takes a deep breath).

A mathematical model is a way

of making certain assumptions

about that (nominated) system

and then testing the effect of

those assumptions.

OUR PEOPLE 23

a love of the unspoiled wilderness

It lets you do complicated

thought experiments, that’s

probably the simplest way I

can say it. It’s experiments you

can’t do in reality. You can’t

put 5 million people in a lab

and test this intervention or

this lockdown and that type

of (Covid-19) testing. It’s not

always going to be a hundred per

cent right because you’ve made

assumptions. But for something

like a pandemic it gives you a way

of exploring some of the tradeoffs

between different ways you

might respond. We’re not trying

to make precise predictions or

forecasts. We’re not trying to

say ‘You’re going to need 3527

hospital beds this week’. It’s more

broad brush than that, it gives

you a series of marker posts to

help you make sense of some

of the ways the Government

could intervene. We liaise with a

steering group.

Do they follow the advice?

It doesn’t really work like that,

we don’t really say you should

do X-Y-Z. We run different

scenarios, modelling possible

interventions. We’re only one

part of a complex decision that

has to be factored in with public

health advice. There’s lots of

different information streams.

Has the Covid-19 model been

modified significantly since it

was launched?

OUTBREAK: A Civil Protection member rests a flower on

the coffin of a coronavirus victim in Bergamo, Italy.

PHOTO: NZ HERALD/GETTY IMAGES

We started off with a relatively

basic model and we’ve added in

more variables as more and more

data comes in. The virus has also

been changing, the Delta variant

was a completely new beast to

the original so we’re constantly

updating the model.

Is the emergence last weekend

of the Omicron variant an

example of this?

It’s quite likely this will

eventually have an impact on our

models but we will need more

data, for example on how quickly

variant virus spreads, how

effective current vaccines are,

and how severe it is in terms of

causing serious illness and death.

When did you add modelling

to your area of expertise?

It was during my PhD. When

I was an undergrad I shied away

from modelling because it’s not

so black and white. Maths, it

was either right or wrong. It’s all

very clear. Modelling is more of a

grey area, there’s not necessarily

a right or wrong way. It’s a bit

fuzzier. Over time I realised that

allowed you to contribute to

understanding in different areas.

What other issues have

you modelled? We note you

advocated throwing big fish

back instead of the tiddlers

around 2014.

This came from an ecologist

who was convinced regulations

we have in the west where you

can’t catch fish smaller than ‘x’,

you have to throw them back is

not necessarily the right way of

going about fishery management

and conservation. You really

want to leave them (big fish)

out there because over a period

of years they can supply a huge

number of new fish. Targeting

big fish has massively depleted

the numbers of large adults, it

has even caused fish to mature

at smaller sizes. Adult northeast

Arctic cod are almost 2kg smaller

than they were 70 years ago.

Can you remember the first

time you heard the dreaded

words: ‘Coronavirus’ and

‘Covid-19’?

It was January 2020 when what

was happening in China made

headlines. There was a period

of time when we realised this is

going to be big. For me, it was

seeing those pictures in Italy

of bodies piling up in hospital

corridors. It was clear similar

things were likely to happen here

if we didn’t do something pretty

drastic about it.

There were significant

developments recently

regarding the graduated

opening of domestic (Auckland)

and international borders. The

traffic light system starts in

Christchurch on Friday. Were

these the right moves?

I don’t think completely

throwing open the border

now would be the right thing,

that would expose vulnerable,

remote communities with low

vaccination rates to too much

risk so taking a staged approach

is sensible. At the moment the

vaccine is doing a good job

keeping cases in check, they’ve

sort of stabilised around that

200 a day mark but it remains to

be seen what happens when we

go into the traffic light system.

People will be out and about

more, that could allow the virus

to spread more easily again and

cases could go up again. Vaccine

boosters are absolutely crucial.

After two doses your immunity

starts to come down gradually

over time. That third dose

doesn’t take you back to where

you were, it takes you to a

higher level of immunity. We’re

going to need a really strong

push in boosters. That’s going

to be crucial to avoiding a big

resurgence.

OUR PEOPLE 25

‘Downtime? What downtime?’

• From page 23

Do you compare your adopted home’s

Covid-19 response to the UK?

It’s a very, very different situation in

the UK. I don’t think it would have been

feasible for them to pursue an elimination

strategy like New Zealand. The

transmission of the virus was much more

established in the community by the time

it really became clear how big a problem it

was. The UK is also a lot more connected

to the countries around it. Even if they

could have eliminated the virus it would

have made it a lot harder to keep it out. I

do know several people in the UK who’ve

had Covid-19 – most have recovered, but

unfortunately one died.

Next time you get home would you

take the tube into central London or is it

straight from Heathrow to Derbyshire in

a bubble?

Ah, well it definitely makes you think,

doesn’t it? Someone told me the other day

about someone who had started carrying

a CO2 (carbon dioxide) monitor on the

tube. There were quite high levels of

CO2 and that’s bad. High levels of CO2

means you’re re-breathing a lot of people’s

air because it (a London Underground

carriage) is not well ventilated. That’s

a problem we have here with schools,

classrooms aren’t well ventilated when

it’s too cold to open the windows. That

increases the risk (of transmission) quite

a lot.

How has your modelling sideline

impacted on your lecturing?

I’ve had some relief from teaching

duties, which vary. I’ve got post-graduate

students and that’s often one-on-one or a

small discussion group. In undergraduate

courses I’ve taught courses with 600

students. I haven’t been doing any

teaching this semester.

You might not be seen as often at

the lectern but your public profile has

risen, hasn’t it, similar to the likes of

your fellow Brit Dr Siouxsie Wiles, an

infectious disease expert and science

communicator. The Covid-19 response is

a divisive issue, Wiles has spoken about

the abuse she has suffered via social

media. Have you experienced detractors,

internet trolls?

Not to the extent some of my colleagues

SOCIAL CLIMBER: Michael Plank

enjoyed exploring the Southern

Alps around Aoraki Mt Cook

before Covid-19 and parenthood.

have but you do get emails that are

not necessarily pleasant. I’ve had the

occasional crank call. I try to engage with

people who have genuine questions. Some

of the disinformation would be funny if it

wasn’t serious and damaging.

Are you noticed by members of the

public when you’re not masked up?

Once or twice, not often, it’s a bit weird.

People want to know about your work

sometimes.

You’ve been recognised recently

through UC when you were awarded

a research medal with a colleague,

associate professor Alex James last

Wednesday. On November 18 you were

also named as a Waitaha Canterbury

Kiwibank Local Hero Medallist.

None of what we’ve done is motivated

by recognition but it was nice to see other

people get their awards (at UC). Someone

must have nominated me for that (local

hero) award but I don’t know who. I have

my suspicions.

During your downtime do you

watch infectious disease movies and

a documentary series on Netflix like

Pandemic: How to Prevent an Outbreak

(January, 2020) or do you just switch off?

Downtime? What’s that? I’ve got a

young son at home that soaks up a lot

of non-work time. I sometimes watch

Scandi(navian) crime dramas. I do a bit

of mountain biking, kayaking, skiing in

winter. I came for the tramping and then

I discovered all these other things you can

do here.

WEST COAST GETAWAY

Stay at Last Resort

and enjoy West Coast

hospitality at its best

Karamea is a secluded haven, situated at

the end of the road, at the Northern end of

the South Island’s West Coast. It is flanked

by the bush-covered mountains of the

Kahurangi National Park on the one hand

and the Tasman Sea on the other.

Karamea, with its mild climate and

beautiful surroundings, has that relaxed

“off the beaten track” feeling not often

found nowadays.

Our surrounding area has a wonderful

array of untouched natural features and

spectacles. Whether you’re a tramper,

caver, botanist, geologist, hunter,

fisherman, kayaker, surfer, mountain biker,

keen photographer or just looking for a

quiet, unspoilt spot for a romantic escape

or a quality family holiday. Welcome to

Karamea, we have it all - everything that is

except a franchised fast food outlet.

Relax and unwind

Waiho Hot Tubs, Franz Josef

Glacier, are best described as a gift

for the senses. Immerse yourself

in the soothing comfort of pure

mountain stream water heated

to perfection by the tubs wood

burning stove.

This creative post lock down

project is a beautiful way to indulge

and relax after a day of travel or

exploring Glacier Country, New

Zealand’s most diverse, unaltered

natural landscapes - from the

mountains and glaciers to the sea.

Here you will find passionate locals

who love hosting and sharing the

magic of where they live.

Adjusting the temperature of your

private wood-fired hot tub is as simple as

adding more cold water or opening up the

damper on the submerged fire box to get

the fire roaring. The stainless-steel tubs,

created by Christchurch’s Degree 43 Hot

Tub team, comfortably sit up to four adults

and a child during the hour-long soak. A

large umbrella is available to shield you

from the elements.

Up the indulgence level by adding 1kg of

Epsom sales or a measure of the Wanaka

Lavender Farms Floral Water.

Orange is the colour of summer

SO, THE traffic light

system has replaced the

Covid alert levels, and

we are starting at orange.

Although I was hoping for

the green light, I wasn’t

surprised when this was

announced. There is a

degree of caution that has

accompanied our approach

to Covid.

Many businesses have

already introduced the

“fully vaccinated rule” on

entering their premises.

I’ve had a few emails since

the traffic light announcement

was made saying

they were introducing this

as a means of protecting

their staff, their clients,

and their families. The

council has introduced

these policies as well effective

3 December.

This does not mean we

can drop our guard when

it comes to wearing face

coverings and scanning

into places with the Covid

QR app. We still need

to keep a good record of

where we have been and

who we are with.

However, the importance

of being fully vaccinated

has really come

to the fore with this shift.

Vaccinations are how

we safely move into an

environment with fewer

restrictions for businesses,

our communities and each

of us personally.

There are some people

who are not yet vaccinated,

which means that some

people will be turned away

from council facilities.

Council staff will ensure

Mayor

Lianne Dalziel

services are still available

to them – for example,

on-line gym sessions, as we

did during the lockdown,

and click-and-collect for

libraries.

And with limits on

capacity determined by the

size of the facility, it may

mean some more waiting

time at the city’s indoor

pools.

It’s often difficult when

new rules come into play,

so please be kind to staff

who are doing what’s

expected of them for the

benefit of us all.

The unique taste of

naturally cured salami

Originally a butchery, started in 1992,

Blackball Salami still makes all its products

in the factory at Blackball.

Since purchasing the business 12

years ago, Debbi and Phillip Russ have

rebranded it, designed a website and set up

online ordering.

Blackball Salami offers a range of over

40 different products and all products

except for the black and white pudding are

MSG & gluten free. They produce fresh

sausages, speciality goods, bacon and of

course, salami. The salami is made the oldfashioned

way and naturally cured with

a variation of quality New Zealand beef,

pork and venison. The raw materials are

kept exceptionally lean, with the traditional

Italian salami having fat content added.

The finest herbs and spices used in all the

products give them their unique quality,

and only manakau wood smoke is used

during the smoking process. After smoking

the salamis are then hung and cured in the

humidity/temperature-controlled room.

Once they have reached maturity they are

packed to production requirements ready

for purchase.

WEST COAST GETAWAY

Pioneers’ story

re-created at

Shantytown


One of New Zealand’s

best kept secrets

Tai Poutini, a place of mystery and

wonder to all that visit. To Māori,

European and Chinese the West Coast

provided a richness from the earth in

the form of pounamu and then gold. The

modern visitor is still able to enjoy these

taonga/treasures while also enjoying

New Zealand’s last real untamed, natural,

wilderness.

Lake Brunner/Moana Kotuku is where

you will witness this collection of both

natural history and the history of our

ancestors as we learnt to live alongside this

wilderness. Only two and half hours drive

from central Christchurch you will find

one of New Zealand’s best kept secrets in

this valley of extinct glacial lakes.

Lake Brunner is the largest of seven

lakes and offers the visitor a scenic drive

to one of the best trout fisheries.

Hotel Lake Brunner is located in the

lake side village of Moana. Offering a

range of accommodation options to suit

your needs. With modern Lake View Two

Bedroom Apartments and Studio Suites,

the Hotel also offers family motel units,

including cabins and campervan parking.

The hotel also boasts private lake view

wood fired hot tubs, available to hire for

both hotel guests and the public.

The Hotel’s Kingfisher Restaurant and

Bar offer an extensive menu made from

local New Zealand produce as well as a

selection of New Zealand wines and craft

beer. Enjoy your meal on the sun deck

with stunning rainforest, mountain and

lake views.

Close by are many DOC walks including

to a glow worm dell, cross the swing

bridge to enjoy native bush walks and

access bike trails.

Visit www.hotellakebrunner.co.nz

Before the world-famous scenery was

drawing crowds to the West Coast, it was

the allure of gold, timber and natural

resources that encouraged 19th-century

arrivals to the region.

Those forbears who turned up in the

1800s brought a mentality of hard work,

ingenuity and resilience that persists

across The Coast to this day, and their

stories are retold through the open-air

experience of Shantytown Heritage Park.

Now in its 50th year of operation,

Shantytown exists as an entire gold rush

township hand-built for preserving an

incredible heritage, surrounded by the

same forested landscape where those

original gold hatters and saw-millers once

toiled for a living.

Featuring over 30 replica buildings,

on-site café, heritage train trips and gold

panning experiences just 10 minutes

south of Greymouth, the park is centrally

positioned for anyone journeying along

The Coast to enjoy.

A wide range of ticket offers are

available, with the $99 Golden Family

Pass recommended as the best deal. This

pass includes entry and train trips for two

adults and up to four children, plus four

gold-panning vouchers.

Putting your broadband service to the test

THE SPEED of your broadband

connection is critical in enabling

you to do all the things you want

online. Having slow speeds can

really affect your online experience

and could potentially leave you

frustrated if you’re always waiting

for web pages to load.

A good way to diagnose slow

speeds is by running a speed

test to check if you’re getting the

speeds you’ve signed up for. A

speed test measures the speed,

delay, and difference in delay of

data sent between your device

and a nearby test server.

You can carry out a speed

test by heading to Ookla – a

broadband speed testing website

– and pressing “GO”. This will

then provide your download and

upload speeds.

There are a few things you will

need to do to get an accurate

speed test reading:

1. Plug an ethernet cable

into your modem. The quality of

your Wi-Fi modem can impact

your speed test results – by plugging

directly into the modem

you’re testing the true speed of

your connection.

2. Make sure to restart your

device and exit any applications

that may be slowing your system

down.

TEST: Being connected to Enable fibre broadband means you’re on track to receiving the

fastest speeds available.

3. If you have other tabs

open in your internet browser it

can interfere with the test results,

so exit these.

4. Make sure nobody else in

your household is online, as your

test can be impacted when other

people are using the internet.

5. Be sure to run the test

a few times a day in different

locations so you can get a clearer

idea of the performance.

6. You can run a test on

various speed test providers, so

try running one on each service

to see how they compare.

A speed test tells you how fast

your download and upload data

are performing. These speeds

are labelled as megabits per

second (Mbps) and should be

very close to the speeds you’re

paying for in your broadband

plan.

A high download speed means

data will be delivered from the

internet to your device quickly – a

good example is how quickly a

movie is ready to stream.

A high upload speed means

data you want to move from your

device to the internet can be done

quickly – such as posting photos

and videos on social media.

Ping is mentioned in your

speed test, this measures the average

time it takes for your device

to respond to the action you’re

trying to carry out online. If this

number’s low, it’s a good sign!

Being connected to Enable fibre

broadband means you’re on the

right track to receiving the fastest

speeds available. There are a

range of fibre plans and you

should talk to your internet

provider to find the best one

for you, as every household has

different online needs.

Life at Bishop Selwyn Village

A day in the life of a resident

at Bishop Selwyn Village offers

variety for every lifestyle.

Every day there is an outing or

activity organised.

Our Thursday quiz afternoons are

attended with much anticipation as

quiz master extraordinaire, Alan,

creates a list of questions to try and

stump some of our masterminds.

They are an intelligent and sharpwitted

bunch who enjoy pitting their

knowledge against each other. At the

end of the quiz, happy hour and an

informal chat listening to the stories

and experiences from this varied and

interesting group are shared.

The beautiful gardens at Bishop

Selwyn are a pride and joy, with our

green fingered Barb and Graeme

leading the way. Residents love

the fact they can choose what they

wish to plant in their little piece of

paradise. They can have as much or

as little involvement as they want

in the garden, with a permanent

gardener there to pick up the slack.

The bird aviary lovingly attended to

by Rosemary and John brings much

pleasure to residents and visitors

alike. The colourful array of birds is

much admired by all. Closing your

eyes and listening to the sounds, you

would be forgiven for thinking you

are in a native forest and not just

minutes away from the city, Hagley

Park, Christchurch hospital and

shopping malls - talk about the best of

both worlds.

To round off our talented bunch of

residents we have the creative and

crafty Lorraine and Merv with his

beautiful woodwork skills.

But don’t take our word for it, come

and check it all out at our Open

new Village Manager, Vicky Knipe,

Woodill. They will be delighted to

meet you and show you through

Olive Leaf Extract

Nature’s Extraordinary

Immune Support

As far ago as 1927 Doctors used olive

leaf to reduce fevers and knock out

malaria. Scientists have discovered olive

leaf contains powerful nutrients that

directly interfere and even destroy nearly

every type of disease causing microorganisms

including bacteria, fungi,

mould, parasites, viruses and even yeast

infections. As well as this olive leaf has

immune enhancing benefits by activating

immune cells that fight infection. For

these reasons it has become a popular

tonic herb that can be used to keep the

immune system strong as well as when

needed to dramatically speed up recovery

of many health conditions like coughs,

colds, flus, pneumonia, tuberculosis,

herpes, shingles, urinary infections, yeast

infections, and much more. It has also

been found beneficial for chronic fatigue

syndrome, low energy levels, exotic

and deadly tropical diseases, two types

of leukaemia and even some cancers.

In many chronic health conditions the

immune system is run down and it is easy

to have complications that are often life

threatening. Olive leaf can be a safe and

very effective option to boost the immune

system and allow the body to have more

energy to help heal itself.

Olive leaf has also been found to be

an effective cardiovascular tonic helping

normalise high blood pressure, improve

cholesterol quality, improve heartbeat

irregularities, and improve blood flow and

vascular disorders.

Olive leaf can also help keep our cells

healthy as it has be shown to be one of

nature’s most powerful antioxidants.

Further information on the amazing

benefits of olive leaf & how it can be

effectively used is available from the

Digital identity is critical in

the new world since covid

New Zealand cybercrime continues to grow

with the government cyber incident tracking

agency, CERT, reporting a 14 percent increase

in scams and fraud in the last quarter of 2021.

Identity fraud has increased a staggering

86 per cent in the last financial year, while

investment fraud has risen by 37 per cent over

the same period.

A total of 79 percent of New Zealanders

are concerned about the protection of

their identity and use of personal data

by organisations, according to a survey

commissioned by Digital Identity New

Zealand (DINZ).

A recent survey found 85 percent

of respondents said there was a lack of

transparency, as well as concern in having to

share data with so many organisations.

Additionally, only one in 20 New

Zealanders have a fully satisfied experience

with registering new accounts. Nine out of 10

New Zealanders find the idea of being more in

control of their digital identity appealing.

Being aware of cybercrime is important to

protect oneself from the potential risks Kiwis

are facing with increased online activity.

“This just shows how critical digital identity

trust is in a world that is rapidly becoming

more digital,” Digital Identity New Zealand

executive director Colin Wallis says.

Secure digital identities are an important

foundation for the digital economy and

with so much business, communication

and purchases happening online it is more

important than ever to be able to trust in

peoples digital identity, he says.

Having a secure, privacyaware,

and trustworthy

digital identity system will

be important for enabling

the economy. This is why

Digital Identity NZ members

are collaborating to provide

feedback via the submission

process on the government’s

proposed digital identity

framework.’

Walls says there is public

concern and some frustration

about how personal data is

shared online. Change in

behaviour is occurring with

73 percent of Kiwis claiming to have made a

change to their online behaviour because of

privacy concern.

“We are also hosting a large conference

in May next year on digital trust, bringing

together experts in digital identity, privacy and

security, which are all needed to create trust.”

Digital Identity NZ is a not-for-profit

member association in the NZ Tech Alliance.

Wallis says it is working to create a country

where people can express their identity using

validated and trusted digital processes.

For further information contact Colin

Wallis on 021 961955.



GARDENING 35

Use water to maintain strength in plants

WHILE SOME plants like it hot,

many of us have plants in our

gardens that require regular and

effective watering.

Plants, like people, need

more water over the warmer

months.

Moisture is lost through leaves,

bark and roots in the soil.

Wind is one of the most moisture-sapping

elements to deal

with.

Symptoms of inadequate plant

watering are poor plant performance,

plant death, visible water

run-off without penetrating the

soil, and dry spots and increased

levels of pest and disease.

Weak plants are easy targets for

bugs and diseases.

Some soils through the summer

get so dry, they actually repel

water. When this occurs the soil

can be described as hydrophobic.

Water your garden once every

few days rather than applying a

small amount every day.

By watering a little every day

you encourage the plants roots

NUTRIENT:

There are

many

techniques

involved

in how to

water your

plants.

to stay on the soil surface to find

water.

By deep watering every few

days you encourage the roots to

go deeper into the soil to seek

moisture. This benefits the plant

as its roots secure the plant further

into the soil.

It is wasteful to apply water

faster than the soil can soak

it in. If you add too much

water too fast it will pond, run

off and maybe even wash away

the soil.

To prevent run-off, water for

several short periods if you are

having trouble getting the moisture

into your soil.

Add organic matter such as

manure, pea straw and compost

to your soil.

These help the soil hold onto

more moisture and make it

available to the plants to take up

through their roots.

Remember the golden rule –

the more you feed your soil the

more it will feed you.

Plant groundcover plants in soil

that is totally exposed to

the air and sun. This exposed

soil leeches out the most moisture.

Water early morning or evening,

when winds have died down and

temperatures are cooler. By doing

this you will minimise the amount

of water lost to evaporation.

Keeping the weeds down will

reduce the number of plants competing

for water in your garden.

Mulching is also one of the

most cost-effective ways of helping

conserve moisture in the garden.

For maximum effect you

need to apply about 10cm

of organic matter to the soil surface.

Mulch reduces moisture

loss, reduces weed growth and

increases biological activity in the

soil.

Plenty still on the line for Pride

• By Chris Barclay

CANTERBURY United Pride

are flying the flag for the

province’s football community

in the Covid-19 inspired South

Central Series after men’s

powerhouse Cashmere Technical

slipped out of title contention.

The Mainland Football

premiership winners, English

Cup-holders and Chatham Cup

finalists, Technical, were denied

another potential trophy on

Saturday when they were beaten

2-1 by Miramar Rangers after

Samuel Field opened the scoring

for the hosts in the 55th-minute

at English Park.

Technical’s second defeat in

the six-team competition – a

substitute for the abandoned

National League – guaranteed

an all-Wellington decider with

Rangers to meet Wellington

Olympics, regardless of this

weekend’s final round robin

fixtures.

Technical wrap up the season

– with the Chatham Cup final

scheduled for early 2022 – with

a crack at unbeaten Olympic at

English Park on Sunday.

The other Southern League

qualifier, Selwyn United, are also

playing for pride when they seek

to break their duck at Rangers, a

tough ask after they were hammered

5-0 by the Wellington

Phoenix last Saturday.

While the men’s competition

was a single round robin, the

four women’s teams play each

other twice before the winner

is determined by points, or goal

differential.

The Pride endured a tough

start to the campaign, losing to

Southern United and the Capital

Football Federation, which lead

the standings from Dunedin’s

representative.

However, back-to-back

5-0 romps over Palmerston

TACKLE:

PHOTO: GETTY

North-based Central Football

Federation means the Pride have

plenty to play for, starting with

Saturday’s revenge clash with

Capital Football Federation at

English Park.

To add a further dimension to

the fixture, it marks the 100th

anniversary of the first women’s

inter-provincial game in New

Zealand between Canterbury,

the 1-0 winners, and Wellington

at English Park.

“It will be a massive game

hosting Capital, celebrating (the

anniversary) and acknowledging

the history of the game,” said

head coach Alana Gunn.

“On the Friday night, there’s a

VIP event where we’ll watch the

Phoenix (debut in the A-League

Women’s competition).”

While it will be nice to catch

up with some old faces, Gunn

was focused on a more important

task at hand now her squad

has built some momentum.

“If we win the next two games

and Central don’t knock anyone

else off, we’ll finish first equal

with Capital

and Southern

on points.

Then it comes

down to goal

difference.”

Gunn has

had to co-ordinate

a radically

different

squad – several

players are now

Alana Gunn

in the US college system or playing

with the Phoenix – leaving

Football Ferns veteran Annalie

Longo to fulfil a vital role.

With New Zealand-based

players unavailable for the Ferns

offshore matches due to Covid-19

restrictions, the 30-year-old midfielder

is helping out the Pride

rather than adding to her 124

caps in the two games against

South Korea.

“It’s worked out well for us,”

Gunn admitted.

Long-standing midfielder

Whitney Hepburn was another

key player, alongside captain

Rebecca Lake.

“Out of our starting XI, there’s

probably four there from last

year,” said Gunn, who wouldn’t

have it any other way.

“We love seeing the girls go

overseas. Things like that are really

rewarding to see.”

Former Canterbury

representatives Victoria Esson,

Gabi Rennie, Asheligh Ward

and Mikayla Moore were in

the squad that lost to South

Korea 2-1 last Saturday before

bouncing back with a 2-0 win in

the final match yesterday.

As most New Zealanders’ homes are their

biggest investments it’s important to protect

them. Good maintenance will:

• Keep your home safe and secure

• Keep you and your family healthy

• Save you money by allowing you to fix

problems before they get bigger

• Protect your financial investment

WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO

APPROACH MAINTENANCE?

Carry out regular preventative maintenance

to prevent some problems from occurring.

MAINTAINING YOUR HOME

Plan ahead for major maintenance tasks.

Be prepared for emergencies – know where

and how the water, gas and power supplies

turn off.

DIY OR PROFESSIONAL?

You need to be realistic about your limits. It is

better to hire a tradesperson and get the job

done properly than to make costly mistakes.

By law, some jobs need to be done by

a professional, such as gas, plumbing,

drainage and some electrical work. Major

maintenance matters.

MOISTURE

Damp homes are unhealthy and harder to

heat. Combat persistent damp in your home

by:

• Insulating (under the floor, in the ceiling

and walls).

• Ventilating (including extractor fans in

bathrooms and kitchens, opening

windows, using a dehumidifier or

forced ventilation system and

keeping vents clear).

• Heating (aim to keep the indoor

temperature at a minimum of 16C).

• Replacing unflued gas heaters with

electric or flued gas heaters.

In Any Condition or Location

in Christchurch

• We pay top $

• No fees (Save $15-$30,000 or more)

• No open homes

• No need to clean and tidy

• Up to 12 months to find your next home

Bylaws for Water

Supply, Wastewater and

Stormwater

The Council’s Water Supply, Wastewater

and Stormwater Bylaw 2014 is being

reviewed. The Council is proposing to

replace it with two new bylaws:

• Water Supply and Wastewater Bylaw

• Stormwater and Land Drainage Bylaw

The replacement bylaws are designed to

update and improve the current bylaw. You

can read about the proposals and have

your say online at ccc.govt.nz/waterbylaws.

We want to hear your thoughts on the

proposed changes. Feedback is open from

29 November 2021 to 9 February 2022, with

Hearings to be held shortly after.

The Government Three Waters Reform is a

separate process, and is not related to this

bylaw review.

Canterbury, we need

to talk about our

changing climate.

Climate change is already affecting our

local communities and ecosystems. It is

not an easy or small topic. That’s why our

local and regional councils have pooled

resources, knowledge and expertise to

help people understand, prepare for and

adapt to changes that Canterbury is likely

to experience.

The It’s time, Canterbury website is home

to reputable information and resources.

Explore these pages to learn about what

changes are expected here in Canterbury,

and pick up some ideas about how you

can help minimise, and adapt to, the

impacts of climate change.

What is climate change?

Over many years, scientists and tohunga

have learnt a lot about Earth’s climate

system. We know that recent changes

in the climate are widespread, rapid,

and intensifying, and unprecedented

in thousands of years.

As Earth’s temperature

continues to rise, it causes

changes in rainfall, weather

patterns, and the frequency

of extreme events, as well

as ice melt and sea level

rise. This results in a range

of effects we experience in

our natural environment

and the areas we live in.

Climate change in Canterbury

If we carry on as usual, and greenhouse

gas emissions continue to increase,

average temperatures in Canterbury are

projected to increase by up to 3.5°C by

the end of the century. The likelihood

of drought conditions is also projected

to increase, and fire risk will increase as

soils and plants become drier.

Alongside drought, we can expect

wetter winters in many eastern, western

and southern parts of Canterbury,

with up to 40% more rain.

What’s being done?

The more we learn about the challenges

associated with climate change in

Canterbury, the more we can use our

knowledge to make wise decisions.

Councils are thinking differently about

biodiversity, water availability, flood

protection, coastal erosion, energy,

land, urban design, infrastructure

and industry so you, your whānau, your

community or your business can be

supported to better understand and

proactively respond. Mō tātou, ā, mō

kā uri, ā muri ake nei – for us, and our

children after us.

If we work together to reduce emissions,

we can collectively limit the amount of

warming in Canterbury/Waitaha.

Can I really make a difference?

Absolutely! The easiest thing you can

do is be informed and become part of

the conversation. Make sure you have

verifiable facts to base your discussions

and actions on and talk with others

about what you know.

On the It’s time, Canterbury website,

you can show and share your support

simply by putting your name to the

cause, as well as learn about projected

changes in your district.

For those who want to act, there are

ideas showing how simple changes can

support New Zealand’s commitment

to reducing greenhouse gas emissions,

because everyone has a role to play,

and it starts at itstimecanterbury.co.nz.

We’re here to help you understand, manage and prepare for more changes Canterbury is likely to face in the future.

Because as well as taking action to reduce the impacts of climate change, we need to ready ourselves to adapt to them.

Seasons Greetings

At this special time of year, I wish you and your family a

peaceful Christmas and all good things for 2022.

If there are things do with government or officialdom

that you need assistance with, or ideas you want to talk

about, please contact my office on the details below.

The past two years have been challenging for us all as the

Covid-19 pandemic response has seen every aspect of

our lives adjusted, compromised or completely changed.

We have done well.

But now, with very high vaccination rates and boosters

on the way, it’s time for a fresh look at where to from here.

The traffic light system designed to work in conjunction

with the My Vaccine Pass is intended to provide us

greater freedoms. The question is, since we have reached

vaccination targets, how long do these restrictions stay in

place, and what will new variants like Omicron mean?

Let me know what you think of this and other issues in the

survey below.

I look forward to supporting Christopher Luxon in his new

role as Leader of the Opposition and the National Party.

We live in a great country and a beautiful city, and I hope

you enjoy the coming break.

Best wishes,

Business Support

Cost of Living

Despite wage subsidies, loan options and deferment

of regulations changes, lockdowns and other Covid-19

restrictions have been tough on businesses. In the year

to August 2021, 26,744 businesses were removed from the

Companies Office Register. Many more sole traders have

closed down. It’s tough out there.

National’s ‘Back in Business’ plan calls for urgent

measures to ensure businesses survive the next 12 months,

and includes a clear, detailed strategy to update our

approach and unleash our economy.

Highlights of the plan include: immediate support to help

businesses survive lockdowns, short term tax relief and

incentives for workers and businesses,

and targeted support for hospitality,

accommodation, tourism and events.

You can find the plan here:

We have seen some concerning trends in our economy

since the arrival of Covid-19:

$340B

Gross Domestic

Product

$17B since

Covid

$102B

total Government

debt

$42B since

Covid

4.9%

annual inflation

2.4 pp since

Covid

And this is being felt by our households: net disposable

income decreased by 0.7% in the second quarter of this

year, while households continued to spend more than

their income, resulting in a negative household saving of

$225 million.

Kiwis are materially worse off now than they were prepandemic.

Opening Up Plan

Three Waters

New Zealand led the world during 2020 in eliminating

COVID-19 through a bold and aggressive strategy.

Unfortunately, the Government has taken their eye off

the ball in 2021- misspending the Covid-19 Response and

Recovery Fund on art therapy and fishing boats, instead

of strengthening our health system in anticipation of

Delta.

New variants, like Delta, pose fresh risks. But New

Zealand cannot remain isolated forever. Many other

developed countries are now reopening and we cannot

sit in splendid isolation forever. We must take the steps

necessary to turn our defensive success against COVID

into an ongoing advantage.

Our Three Pillar Plan, and Petition to End

MIQ, are part of National’s policy to open

New Zealand up and effectively handle

further community outbreak.

Labour’s Three Waters plans would see the Government

steal Christchurch’s local water assets and strip control

from our community, by bundling our assets into regional

mega-entities made up of a smorgasbord of appointees

and bureaucrats- with zero accountability to us in the

community.

Christchurch City Council’s ownership rights would be

confused and unclear, and our water providers will no

longer be accessible to us, their customers. There is no

opt-out for the Council- these reforms are mandatory.

This is nothing short of theft from the ratepayer. The

Government will pay $120 million and take $7 billion in

assets, leaving Christchurch ratepayers with the debt.

We have launched a petition to stop the

Three Waters asset grab - sign this

petition here:

Matt Doocey

MP for Waimakariri

Nicola Grigg

MP for Selwyn

As MP for Waimakariri, I’m always looking at ways to help

our residents be heard on what they need to get ahead

by bringing the relevant stakeholders to the electorate

to hear directly about our concerns or to take the views

of the Waimakariri to Parliament. Whether it’s the threelaning

southbound over the Waimakariri Bridge or afterhours

health service provision, I take a community-led

approach to support our residents to be resourced for our

growth and infrastructure needs.

You can contact my local office on 03 327 0514 or visit us

at 137 Williams Street, Kaiapoi

I love this region, and I am proud to be MP for Selwyn. I

was born and raised on our family farm in Mt Somers -

I grew up here and am proud to call it home. My whole

family still farm in this district - from the Rakaia Gorge,

down to the foothills, and out across the Canterbury

plains. I’m constantly amazed at how innovative and

ambitious we Cantabrians are – I see our local business

owners putting everything on the line to take products

and services to the world – even now, in such uncertain

times.
