CHILD CAR thieves as young

as 10-years-old are running

rampant in Christchurch,

targeting Mazda Demios, and

going on nightly joyrides.

There is frustration over the

lack of options open to police

officers and welfare workers in

dealing with the repeat underage

offenders.

While the issue of youths embarking

on a string of ram raids

across Auckland is making

headlines, gangs of youngsters

are also running amok down

south.

In just one recent weekend,

19 Demios – New Zealand’s

most stolen car – were pinched

across the Garden City alone.

Ward said the board hasn’t

formed a position on the issue yet

and is awaiting a briefing.

“We know that vaping does

have negative health consequences

and is no longer just a replacement

for smokers,” he said.

Ward also mentioned the risk

of vaping undoing a lot of work

that’s being done in society to

prevent people from getting

addicted to nicotine, particularly

young people who go straight to

vaping.

Robertson, who is school community

liaison at Addington

School, said vaping is being

discussed among residents due to

an increase in vaping shops se to

open in the area.

‘Roll back’

of prices

on some

grocery

items

SUPERMARKET operator

Foodstuffs, which owns Pak’n

Save, New World and Four

Square, will cut the price of food

by an average 10 per cent on more

than 100 groceries.

From Monday, Foodstuffs

North Island and South Island

will “roll back the prices” on some

of its most shopped grocery items

to what they averaged between

January and April 2021.

The reductions would be

implemented at all New World,

Pak’nSave, and Four Square stores

on items such as meat, butter,

cheese, vegetables and nappies.

Most of the price reductions

would be across its Pams and

Value brand ranges.

Foodstuffs said the reductions

were expected to result in weekly

savings of $500,000 for shoppers.

The price reductions will stay in

place until August 14.

Chris Quin, Foodstuffs NZ

managing director, said the

co-ops considered the challenge

of rising food prices and where

rising costs were hitting shoppers

hardest; using its data insight

teams to identify the everyday

products that its customers

brought most often.

“A local team for local people”

Thursday May 12 2022 The Star

• By Devon Bolger

FORMER MAYOR Sir Bob

Parker’s quirky inner-city

apartment was sold at auction

yesterday.

The Stewart St property

near Hagley Park was Parker’s

bolt-hole as he guided the city

through the tumultuous and

devastating 2010 and 2011 earthquakes.

The bidding started off at

$700,000 and quickly reached $1

million with strong interest in

the property.

It eventually sold with the winning

bid being $1,120,000 and

was purchased by a family.

Harcourts has described the

apartment as “gritty, recklessly

urbane warehouse accommodation”

that is “distinctly industrial,

raw”.

Parker was knighted for his

leadership during the early days

of the quakes where he was the

voice of reassurance to Christchurch

residents.

The former This is Your Life

host has been ill since 2020, suffering

a heart attack, which was

followed by a stroke. He was admitted

to a long-term care facility

last year.

Parker and his wife Lady Jo

Nicholls-Parker (above) bought

the 240sq m property in 2008

for $372,000. Its 2019 rating

valuation is $500,000.

“It is currently occupied as an

unorthodox residence, the 1980s

steel and concrete building is a

far cry from your usual ‘attempt

to impress’ apartment due to

spaces being uniquely optioned,”

the Harcourts listing said.

“Our visionary sellers have

cherished their 15-plus years here

and are only relinquishing for

compelling personal reasons.”

The open-plan building has a

“restaurant class” kitchen with

two staircases leading to a mezzanine

area.

The estate agency said the

property could be easily adapted

back into commercial use and

could suit a strictly business

operation.

Parker served two terms as the

city’s mayor from 2007 to 2013.

Henstock

A FORMER executive director

of the Christ Church Cathedral

Reinstatement Trust is standing for

the city council.

Victoria

Henstock will stand

as an independent

in the Papanui

Ward at October’s

local elections.

“It’s something

I’ve always aspired

to do,” Henstock

said yesterday.

“It was really a

matter of timing

for me.”

Sitting councillor

Mike Davidson

said he welcomes

Henstock to the

race.

“It’s really

important for our

community to have

real choice during

an election,” Davidson said.

Victoria

Henstock

Mike

Davidson

Said Henstock: “Papanui residents

are telling me they want council to

listen, and stop excessive spending

on non-priority projects.

“They are concerned about traffic

congestion and pedestrian safety.

They also want the focus to be on

getting the basics right like fixing

roads and footpaths, maintaining

and improving our parks and

playgrounds.

“Like others, I am frustrated at

some of the spending priorities

and decisions being made by our

current council.”

Davidson was elected with a 650

majority vote at the 2019 local body

elections. He said the next term of

council is “a key one” for the work

on climate change and building a

sustainable city that’s affordable

now and for future ratepayers.

“I’m hoping to continue that

work and continue to represent the

Papanui Ward community,” he said.

‘Not a marketing stunt’

• From page 1

He said the food price cuts on

some items were not a marketing

stunt.

“This is not a marketing

stunt. It’s a real saving for our

customers and a real cost to our

business, as a result of this price

rollback our stores will be selling

some items below cost. Other

promotions will continue over

this time,” said Quin.

“These are extraordinary

times and Kiwis must be able to

afford the everyday items they

need in their weekly shop over

the next few months. As locally

owned co-operatives we have a

responsibility to step up and our

store owners are committed to

this initiative.”

The move by Foodstuffs follows

that of rival supermarket

chain Countdown, which last

week announced it would

implement a prize freeze during

winter.

Countdown said it would not

be increasing – or decreasing

– the price of more than 500

essential grocery items over

winter. This included items such

as diced tomatoes, butter, cheese,

sugar, flour, deli meats, hot roast

chicken, carrots and pumpkin.

Countdown managing director

Spencer Sonn said the move

aimed to “buck the current

inflationary environment” and

that the company was “receiving

millions of dollars of cost

increase requests every month

from suppliers who were facing

higher fuel, raw material and

freight costs.”

The average increase request

by its suppliers was just over

nine per cent, it said.

“As we head into the chillier

months, the cost of living is

undeniably top of everyone’s

minds,” said Sonn.

“We want to help Kiwis’ money

go further despite the pressures

everyone is facing with increasing

costs, and that’s why we’ve

pledged that the price of these

500-plus essentials won’t change.”

The $22 billion grocery sector

– namely New Zealand’s two

major supermarkets Foodstuffs

and Countdown – has come

under scrutiny over the past few

months following a market study

by the Commerce Commission

which has found the lack of competition

problematic.

The duopoly is “not working

for consumers”, according to the

commission.

It was revealed in March that

supermarkets in this country

make in excess of $1 million in

profits each day.

Commerce and Consumer

Affairs Minister David Clark

said consumers would get better

prices if there was more competition,

and has pledged to take

action to achieve that.

As a first step, the Government

would be making it easier for supermarkets

to enter the market

by opening up more sites.

Moving forward there would

be a new regime around wholesale

supply, as well as a mandatory

code of conduct, addressing

issues like bargaining power, and

resolution schemes, he said.

‘Why are these kids out

there in the first place?’

• From page 1

One prolific offender behind

multiple suspected car thefts

across Christchurch is understood

to be a 10-year-old boy.

Others are believed to be

12-years-old and early teens.

“Police are aware of vehicles

stolen by youths recently in the

Christchurch region,” a police

spokeswoman said,

“The reasons young

people are involved in

this type of offending

[are] complex. There are

several factors that can

contribute including

the influence of social

media. It’s not an issue

police can address

alone.”

Under New Zealand

law, children aged 10-11 can

only be prosecuted for murder,

manslaughter or minor traffic

offences.

Young people, defined as those

aged 14-16, can be charged and

dealt with by the youth justice

system, while 12-13-year-olds

may be charged in the Youth

Court at the police’s discretion.

Anyone aged 17 and over are

treated as adults in the general

court system.

Police work closely with partner

agencies to manage youth

offenders, support their whānau

and provide prevention opportunities,

the spokeswoman said.

“If you see any suspicious

activity, such as people loitering

around vehicles or looking into

car windows, please contact

Police immediately by phoning

111,” she said.

Police Minister Poto Williams

told Newstalk ZB’s The Mike

Hosking Breakfast on Monday

the Auckland ram raids

were not just a problem

for police.

“Why are these kids out

there in the first place?

Why are seven, eight,

nine and 10-year-olds

out in the middle of the

night?”

Poto Statistics released by

Williams insurer AMI last month

revealed that the Demio

is easily the most targeted car in

the country.

Of the 12,000 claims AMI

received between 2019 and 2021,

the Demio accounted for 10

per cent of the total, in spite of

making up just 1.5 per cent of the

country’s fleet.

The next most popular car for

thieves was the Mazda Atenza,

followed by Nissan Tiida, Subaru

Legacy, and Mazda Familia.

AMI data shows that 94 per

cent of Demios are recovered

– often after a few hours of

joyriding.

Fed-up residents organise meeting

as work starts on wastewater plant

WORK WILL start today to

remove the rotting material from

the fire-damaged tricking filters

at the Christchurch Wastewater

Treatment Plant.

Southern Demolition and Salvage

Ltd has been contracted for

the job, which is expected to take

four months.

It comes as Bromley residents

plan to host a community meeting

tomorrow over the ongoing

stench.

Resident Alyssa Tomlinson

said the assault on their nostrils

was falling on the city council’s

deaf ears.

“It’s just gone from never really

having headaches to having

constant migraines and scratchy

throats, coughs . . . just generally

feeling unwell quite a lot of the

time,” she said.

The highest levels of hydrogen

sulphide were recorded at five

parts per million in air quality

testing around the plant last week.

Niwa air quality expert Dr

Guy Coulson said the workplace

limit is 10 parts per million for

an eight-hour shift.

“The problem there, of course,

is that is based on the idea that’s

just for eight hours and that’s

DAMAGE: Firefighters at the Christchurch Wastewater

Treatment Plant in Bromley last November.

based on normal, healthy people,”

he said.

“Outside of the workplace

you might find more susceptible

people.”

But there are not really any

other guidelines.

Many residents were not aware

the testing was taking place and

said the city council’s communication

had been terrible – so

much so it has pushed Caleb

Saunderson to help organise a

public meeting in the Bromley

Community Hall tomorrow

night.

“The whole reason why I’m

doing it is I’m a concerned community

member who’s sick of my

kids not being able to play outside

because of the smell and not

being able to open my windows,”

he explained.

The meeting is public because

while Bromley residents are

worst affected, the stench can be

smelt all over the city, he said.

Saunderson lives 500 metres

from the plant and said the city

council had a history of not

reacting quickly to problems.

“I think everybody’s sort of

feeling a little left in the dark

about it. A lot of us don’t believe

the necessary measures

to contain the smell and

everything else has been

taken in a timely manner.”

City council head of

Three Waters Helen Beaumont

said council meetings

had not happened

due to Covid-19 restrictions,

but they had been

communicating with residents.

“We’ve got a dedicated page

on the council’s website and we

release stories every two to four

weeks on that. We’ve also done

a couple of flyer drops around

the neighbourhoods close to the

plant.”

Beaumont said the clean up

would involve 12-hour days, six

days a week to remove the filter

material.

“They are aiming to have the

task completed in four months,

which means that by early September

one of the main sources

of the stench from the plant will

have been eliminated,’’ she said.

“This is four months earlier

Helen

Beaumont

than we had originally thought it

would be. The contractor has put

a really good plan together to get

the work done as quickly and as

safely as possible.

“Normally we’d go out

for tenders for a project

of this size, but we know

the smell, which fluctuates

depending on the weather

conditions, is causing distress

for nearby residents

and we want to get rid of ii

as quickly as possible.”

Beaumont said it would

be a complex task as the trickling

filters have 8 metre-high (threestorey)

concrete walls and there

is about 26,000 cubic metres –

about the volume of 10 Olympic

swimming pools – of material to

remove.

The material will be loaded into

sealed bins and transported to the

Kate Valley landfill where it will

be treated as hazardous waste.

“Unfortunately, there are

days when the smell could get

worse as material deep inside the

trickling filters gets exposed to

the elements and starts rotting,”

Beaumont said.

Rugby star says ADHD diagnosis brings

• By Katie Harris

FORMER ALL Black and

Crusader Zac Guildford has

been charged with breaching

intensive supervision earlier this

year before he was sentenced for

stealing from his grandfather.

The latest charge related to him

allegedly breaching the orders by

consuming alcohol in February.

Guildford had been serving a

sentence of two years of intensive

supervision after being convicted

of punching a woman in December

2019.

Guildford is back living and

working in Christchurch and is

due to appear in the district court

later this month.

He allegedly broke the orders

prior to being sentenced on separate

charges for stealing more

than $40,000 from his grandfather

and deceiving a friend out of

$60,000.

In an interview with the NZ

Herald in March, Guildford

admitted things were spiralling

before his sentencing on those

charges and he was slipping back

into addictive tendencies. His

relationships were “falling to

pieces”.

Since being sentenced the

former sports star has apologised

for his offending and made a new

start in Christchurch with a job

at a construction company.

RELIEF: Zac Guildford says of his ADHD diagnosis “that’s when the questions started to

make sense around how my life played out”. PHOTO: GEORGE HEARD/NZ HERALD

Guildford said at the time he

had built up a strong support

system in Christchurch.

In February, Guildford moved

to Upper Riccarton from the

Wairarapa to start a new job with

a construction industry company

and to make a clean break. An

introduction was organised via

his probation worker and he also

lives with his bosses, who have

taken in convicted criminals in

the past.

When approached by the

Herald this week his employer

said any breach would have been

prior to him working and living

with them. As well as before his

ADHD diagnosis.

“He has been working really

hard and is very positive about

his future, he has joined many

online ADHD support groups

and we have also managed to put

together a group of ADHD adults

who will be having the support

group meetings at our house as

Zac can’t leave to go to them,” the

employer said.

The 33-year-old had been living

with his 77-year-old grandfather,

Frank Burt, in the Wairarapa

when he transferred a total of

$41,400 from his grandfather’s

iPad to his own account between

March 30 and April 9, 2021, to

fuel his gambling addiction.

In the interview with the

Herald in March, Guildford said

he first took money out of “pure

addiction”, boredom, and the

idea he could get out of the hole

he was in if he just “took a little

bit, then put some back”.

“It didn’t work that way, as I

found out the hard way – and

most addicts will know it’s not

just a little bit.”

Prior to the offending, the pair

had a close relationship, doing

everything together including

buying and breeding horses.

Breaking his trust was “heartbreaking”,

Guildford said. They

haven’t spoken since, but he is

hoping to soon iron things out.

His construction boss in

Christchurch boss asked him to

get tested for a neurodevelopmental

condition, attention deficit

hyperactivity disorder (ADHD),

and his diagnosis was confirmed

days before sentencing.

“That’s when the questions

started to make sense around

how my life played out, and why

some of the mistakes I made

were not because I was a horrible

relief, but isn’t an excuse for his actions

“I feel a little bit of a relief,

because deep down I thought,

am I just a c***? Or, am I just a

horrible person? Why am I doing

these bad things? That makes no

sense, because I’m a good person.

“I want to make it clear, that

I’m not being slapped with this

hefty court thing, and then all of

a sudden coming out the week

later and saying, look Zac Guildford’s

got ADHD, another f******

excuse.”

In his mind, the diagnosis

offers an explanation as to why

others could spend $50 on a

night out and he would spend

the “whole $500”.

His employer, who requested

not to be named, said it became

apparent something wasn’t right

within the first two weeks of him

living and working with them.

“He lacked focus on tasks that

made him uncomfortable or

were boring. But the things he

loved he was fully focused on.

He would fidget, leave the room

when it wasn’t appropriate. But

then apologised profusely for not

listening.”

She said he was someone who

wanted to change but had been

struggling with how this would

look and how to do it.

“Basically Zac was exhausted

and felt that he had tried everything

and nothing was ever

going to work.”

Part of the reason she wanted

him to be screened was because

a nephew had faced similar issues

and he became a “different

man” after being diagnosed with

ADHD.

She said Guildford’s job with

the company had had to be

“changed around a bit to suit

him”, but he would work in human

resources.

“In his spare time to keep

himself busy he is building a

long-term business plan of selling

sports/gym equipment, and

researching men’s multivitamins

and food supplements. This

seems to be something he is

interested in so is really focused

on making this happen.”

However, he said ADHD is not

the cause of the offending.

“I just really hope for his sake,

he really gets the help that he

needs now and we don’t feel the

need to punish him for what he’s

done wrong but (have) understanding

that hopefully leads to

treatment and a better outcome.”

Guildford said he is hopeful

he can find the right medication

and said he wants to gain more

knowledge and do behavioural

therapy to help with his ADHD.

At sentencing, Guildford’s

uncle told the court he had been

exposed to gambling from a

young age and was given too

much money when he was too

young.

Guildford said he believes he

may have started gambling when

‘I became bored. Who

becomes bored with

becoming an All Black?’

– Zac Guildford

he was three and still in nappies.

One example he pointed to on

the impact ADHD may have had

on his life was how he “walked

out” on his rugby career that he

had worked hard for since he was

a child.

“I became bored. Who becomes

bored with becoming an

All Black? Who becomes bored

with earning half a million dollars

in France and just having to

go to the gym? Bored of being

this person that everyone else

wanted me and told me to be. I

just couldn’t control it.”

Guildford played 10 tests for

the All Blacks between 2009 and

2012 and was a member of the

2011 Rugby World Cup-winning

squad, scoring four tries in

New Zealand’s 79-15 win over

Canada.

He was also part of the New

Zealand side that won the

under-20 World Cup in Tokyo

in 2009, scoring two tries in the

final. The occasion was marred

by the tragic and sudden death of

his father, Robert, as he watched

the game from the stands.

Rugby not part of his

future, Guildford says

• From page 7

Now he said he holds a

lot of resentment towards

the sport and doesn’t believe

his future will involve

rugby.

“They didn’t, the

rugby community, didn’t

understand me, or I didn’t

understand myself so how

could they understand

me?”

As part of his sentence,

Guildford must also attend

counselling programmes

and not use alcohol or

drugs not prescribed to

him, as well as undertake

a gambling addiction programme.

In late 2020, Guildford

did an interview like this,

a $2000 emotional harm

$10,000 as a suitable payment,

What is ADHD?

• Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder

(ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition

that can cause hyperactive and impulsive

behaviour, as well as attention difficulties.

• Adults and children can be diagnosed with

ADHD.

• Not everyone with ADHD has the same

symptoms and there many are benefits to

having it, which include some people being

more creative, energetic and spontaneous.

• ADHD affects 2 to 5 per cent of all children.

In the altercation that

followed, Ineson struck the

victim in the ear with the

glass, which caused significant

injury and many

stitches.

Ineson said he did not

realise he still had the

glass in his hand when he

struck the blow, and had

not intended to cause the

injury.

Judge Hix said he had

received a positive report

from the restorative justice

meeting between Ineson

and the victim. Ineson had

apologised at the meeting.

“It shows the true value

of the restorative justice

process,” said the judge.

• By David Clarkson

A COUPLE has challenged

police allegations that they failed

to provide prescribed antibiotics

to a 90-year-old dementia

sufferer after his discharge from

hospital following a bout of

pneumonia.

The police called medical

evidence about the condition of

the elderly man with advanced

dementia – the father of the man

now on trial in the district court

– and the effects of not giving

him the antibiotics prescribed

for him after his discharge.

The police allegations amount

to one charge of neglect of the

old man in the trial which is

expected to go on for more than

two weeks.

The other neglect allegations

are that he was locked in a room

for up to 16 hours a day, clad

in an adult nappy and wetsuit,

without access to light, ventilation,

or water.

Further charges against the

son allege he stole $275,239 from

the man’s bank account and the

family trust account when he

had enduring power of attorney,

to buy items for himself, including

a car.

The couple has interim name

suppression because the two

are indicating they will appeal

against the decision of Judge

Mark Callaghan at the start of

the judge-alone trial to refuse

suppression. Suppression would

normally continue until the appeal

is heard.

The trial has been shown a series

of closed-circuit videos from

the old man’s bedroom, when he

knocked and called for help for

more than an hour after soiling

himself, and his efforts to clean

himself up. The police allege he

had been left with no means of

cleaning himself, and the son

called him a “filthy animal” and

threatened to assault him after

one of the times when he soiled


Couple deny delaying supply of antibiotics

himself.

Dr Jennifer Butler, a senior

medical officer at Christchurch

Hospital, said the man was assessed

as having a moderate risk

from aspirational pneumonia

when he was admitted to hospital

in June 2020.

Dementia suffers sometimes

contracted pneumonia because

they had difficulty co-ordinating

their swallowing and may inhale

oral secretions or vomit.

The police case was that a

prescription for antibiotics issued

when he was discharged

was not filled at a pharmacy for

several days and then only half

the prescribed pills were given to

the man.

Butler said it could cause

a recurrence of pneumonia

symptoms if antibiotics were

discontinued or not used.

Clayton Williams, counsel for

the man, asked about whether

the antibiotics supplied could

cause diarrhoea as a side effect.

She said it could happen.

Williams asked if she was

aware of a practice where

the nurse, at the time of

discharge, could tell a carer

that if the side effects were too

severe the medication should be

stopped.

“That is not standard practice,”

she said. Nurses and doctors

would tell patients to continue

with all the medication, but see

their doctor if there were side

effects.

He also asked her about nurses

giving patients some antibiotics

from the ward supplies to tide

them over until they could get

the prescription filled. She said

that would normally have been

recorded in the case notes, but

was not mentioned.

Giving medication might be

done if a patient were discharged

after hours or at the weekend.

But she said a discharge at

4.24pm on a Friday – as in this

case – would not be classed

as after hours because most

pharmacies were open until

6pm.

The trial is continuing.

Update on the Christchurch

Wastewater Treatment Plant

We’re sorry for the distress you’re experiencing because of the stench

from the fire-damaged Christchurch Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Since the fire we’ve been

dealing with two sources

of odour – the ponds and

fire-damaged structures.

We’ve worked hard to reduce

the smell from the ponds,

and this work is ongoing.

However, the other source

of odour is worse.

After the recent wet weather,

the material inside the

damaged structures started

to rot and smell. This is now

our main priority.

Here’s what we are doing:

• We have tested the air around the plant. The gases

present are at levels below those considered toxic.

However, we know the ongoing stench is affecting

people’s wellbeing.

• We are continuing to test the air and are working with

Environment Canterbury and the Medical Officer of

Health to monitor and report on the odours.

• Our contractor is about to set up onsite, so they can

remove the material from within the structures.

• The structures are huge. They hold about the same

volume as 10 Olympic swimming pools. They estimate

it could take between four to seven months to remove

everything. If they can do it faster, they will.

• There will be fortnightly progress updates to the

live-streamed Council meetings so that up-to date

information will be available to everyone.

Available support

We know the stench has been awful for those

of you living nearby. We’ve arranged for an

independent health provider to run two workshops

at the Aranui Wainoni Community Centre.

The workshops will be held on:

• Wednesday 25 May 7–8.30pm

• Wednesday 1 June 7–8.30pm

Visit ccc.govt.nz/wastewaterfire for more

information and to register for these

workshops, or call 03 941 8999

If you’re concerned about your health, we

recommend you see your GP or health provider.

If the situation is impacting on your mental health,

you can call or text 1737 at any time and talk to a

trained counsellor for free.

To keep up-to-date with the progress we’re making

at the wastewater treatment plan, sign up to our

regular e-newsletter at

ccc.govt.nz/wastewaterfire

If you have concerns about the smells, phone

Environment Canterbury on 0800 765-588 or to

report the odour on the Smelt It app, which you

can download at

smelt-it.web.app

The fire at the Christchurch Wastewater Treatment plant was a

catastrophic event and we’re very sorry that you have had to bear the

brunt of the stench it has created. Please be assured we’re committed

to removing the source of the odour as safely and quickly as possible.

Who is Simon Henry, the man who

Risky territory seems

to be a comfortable

operating place for

former Christchurch

businessman Simon

Henry, the CEO who

stunned the business

world by calling

celebrity chef Nadia Lim

“a little bit of Eurasian

fluff”, judging by his

ventures in beekeeping

and dangerous

chemicals. So who is

he? Andrea Fox reports

HAVING FLOWN under the

radar for years, Henry exploded

into the headlines last week after

mouthing off about Lim’s minor

photo part in the prospectus

for My Food Bag’s sharemarket

listing last year.

He was being interviewed as

a prospective candidate for the

NBR list of wealthy people and

abruptly swerved from discussing

his DGL Group company’s

listing on the NZX and ASX last

year into an attack on Lim and

the subsequent share price performance

of My Food Bag.

Lim co-founded My Food

Bag, and is an ambassador for

the meal-kit company, having

stepped down from its board

RICH LISTER: Simon Henry made his early money in

property before branching out into chemicals, founding

dual listed company DGL Group. PHOTO: NZ HERALD

some time ago.

Since his outburst, Henry has

been variously described in investment

circles on both sides of the

Tasman as “a spiky character”,

“difficult”, a self-promoting

entrepreneur impervious to public

opinion, and mostly someone who

doesn’t feel answerable to anyone.

One market watcher said he

had never seen anything “so

naive” as Henry’s reading of “the

world out there” in all his years

in the investment sector.

“There were so many other

ways to attack My Food Bag (performance)

. . . why he would do it

that way . . .”

Henry told NBR: “I can tell

you, and you can quote me, when

you’ve got Nadia Lim, when you’ve

got a little bit of Eurasian fluff in

the middle of your prospectus

with a blouse unbuttoned showing

some cleavage, and that’s what it

takes to sell your scrip, then you

know you’re in trouble.”

He continued: “Go back to that

prospectus and find that photo.

You know you’re in trouble. I

mean, you know, when you got

a TV celebrity showing off her

sensuality to hock scrip, then you

know you’re in trouble. The uglier

the board, the more successful

the share.”

Lim shows no cleavage in the

photo and there are no buttons

on her top.

Whether Henry is surprised by

the outcry is anyone’s guess. He’s

gone to ground. Details about his

personal background are slim.

He does not respond to requests

for comment.

Henry grew up in Rangiora,

and, according to Companies

Office records, now lives in

Parnell, Auckland. In his early

investment days he had an office

on the corner of Gloucester and

Colombo Sts.

He also changed his name

from Simon Henry Whimp to

Simon Henry. A brother, Bernard

Whimp, is known for his controversial

business dealings. Bernard

Whimp was bankrupt in 1998 but

discharged in 2001 after reaching

agreement with creditors.

Henry’s DGL business has

grown mostly by acquisitions on

both sides of the Tasman. And

with $100m in hand since DGL’s

capital raising and listing last

year, the shopping pace has been

turbocharged, with five acquisitions

and the purchase of 100 per

cent of the share capital of two

companies in the half year to

December 31 alone.

DGL, formerly known as

Dangerous Goods Logistics, is an

Australian-registered company,

based in Melbourne. It has an

all-Australian board with the

exception of Henry, who is an

executive director as well as chief

executive. He owns 57 per cent of

DGL Group.

The fact he calls himself “sole

shareholder” of DGL on the

company’s website, despite it having

NZX and ASX investors, says

quite a lot about the person, one

New Zealand corporate leader

observed.

And the fact that it took three

days of intense media scrutiny

for the board to comment on his

derogatory comments about Lim

tends to cement the impression

he sees himself as the company.

As one market analyst observed,

Henry has yet to get comfortable

with the idea that a stock exchange

listing comes with public

scrutiny.

While a PR company-issued

statement out of Australia on Friday

night, May 6, said the DGL

board had “conveyed its deep disappointment

to Mr Henry” and

that his comments were contrary

to DGL culture.

Repeated requests to speak to

Henry and the board chairman

have been ignored. Interestingly,

the Sydney PR company

handling media inquiries has

emphasised it is acting for the

board, not Henry.

insulted Nadia Lim?

So who is Henry, whose personal

shares in DGL were – by

his calculation, and before the

Lim attack – worth $700 million?

That figure has not aged well

in the ensuing publicity – this

week more than $140m had been

wiped off his personal share

value as DGL’s share price plummeted.

Henry is paid A$600,000

($659,000) a year as DGL’s chief

executive.

(In 2016 ,The Rich List

reported Henry’s wealth to be

$145m. It noted he was a keen

tennis player, an avid reader and

had travelled extensively in Asia

and Europe.)

Henry has been reported as

saying the lessons from his first

business venture as a beekeeper

and honey exporter were a

constant reminder of the need to

focus sharply on investment returns.

He said the fundamentals

of business had been drummed

into him as a young man when

he started with a single beehive

and turned that into a business

with 1400 hives in a “ranch style”

operation. He said he built cheap

beehives while competitors were

spending big on infrastructure.

After the 1987 sharemarket

crash, it’s reported, he got interested

in property investment,

buying commercial property in

Christchurch and Wellington.

Moving to Auckland, he bought

more properties, and is reported

to have built a property portfolio

worth more than $100m.

An example of how he built his

wealth was his sale of Christchurch’s

former IRD building in

Cashel St to the Crown for $32m

in 2013. Property records show the

building sold in 2020 for $13m.

Henry’s foray into the chemicals

industry came in 1999 when

he bought a 3.6ha chemical

logistics site in Wellington.

The DGL prospectus said this

was the foundation asset “to

service customers requiring the

specialist provision of safe and

compliant chemical supply chain

management”.

In 2012, after securing the

business of international water

treatment and chemical distributor

Ixom and Shell, the company

expanded to Australia by buying

listed company Hydromet

Corporation in an off-market

takeover. This added recycling

and treatment capabilities to its

services range.

Over the next six years DGL

expanded its transport and treatment

capabilities with acquisitions

and further investment in

logistics, smelter and recycling

facilities.

In 2018, Henry acquired the

Dangerous Goods Logistics

business in Australia and the

company’s name and branding

was changed to DGL.

Its most recent acquisition is

in Western Australia with the

A$2.5m purchase of Total Coolant.

It’s the third acquisition in

WA in the past 12 months.

One of Henry’s acquisitions,

of New Zealand company

Chemsafe in 2015, has turned

sour. Former Chemsafe founder

and owner Rod Simmonds is

reported to be seeking around

$2.6m he alleges is still owed to

him on the sale of the business

and its assets to Henry in 2015.

The case is due to be heard in the

High Court at Auckland next

month.

Meanwhile, DGL, which has

three divisions, last month upped

its earnings guidance for the 12

months ending June this year,

forecasting ebitda (before deducting

acquisition costs) of around

$65m on sales revenue of $354m.

For the financial year 2021 it

posted sales revenue of $196m,

up 9 per cent on the previous

financial year and 3 per cent

higher than the prospectus

forecast. Pro-formal net profit

after tax was $11.3m, ahead of

prospectus forecasts.

But Henry’s outburst has not

escaped the attention of investors.

The stock fell 4.57 per cent

yesterday following a 15 per cent

fall on Monday.

SIMON HENRY has apologised

to Nadia Lim for calling her

“Eurasian fluff”, acknowledging

that he used “inappropriate

language”.

Lim confirmed yesterday that

she received the emailed apology

on Tuesday night – “six days

after the crises erupted”.

“It was accompanied by an offer

for Nadia to call him, which

will not be acted on,” Lim’s

spokeswoman Deborah Pead

said.

While Henry had claimed to

have called the celebrity chef

several times “Nadia’s phone

records will confirm she neither

received nor missed a call from

him”.

“In my opinion his acknowledgement

adds further insult to

injury and one has to wonder

why he even bothered,” Pead

said.

Henry’s employer DGL Group

had said it had been sent on

Friday.

The post suggested Henry

had tried “several times” to call

Lim. He offered a “sincere and

formal” apology for his “inappropriate

language”.

The apology was emailed

from DGL’s office manager.

Meanwhile Lim is in isolation

after testing positive for

Covid-19.

“I have Covid right now and

wrote online.

Lim shared a short video clip

showing off the creation by fellow

MasterChef NZ judge Mabee,

of central Otago’s Amisfield

Restaurant, in an Amisfield box.

A second post shows her two

sons in bed and a shout-out to

LUCKY CRUISE passengers in

Akaroa Harbour have caught

a rare glimpse of a humpback

whale in the area.

The whale was spotted near

the entrance to the harbour,

travelling north on Saturday

with the skipper moving to get a

closer look.

George

Waghorn, part

owner

of cruise

company

Dolphins,

said it was

an exciting

moment for all

on board.

“We were

heading back into the harbour

and I saw it in the back of my eye.

It looked like a big boat in the

distance but I saw its blowhole

and knew what it was.”

Waghorn said it is a reasonably

rare occurrence that seems to be

more frequent this year than in

previous years.

He said it was a treat for the

many Australian passengers on

board.

“It was a great surprise for

them.

“They loved it, they all got

out the front of the boat, lots of

cameras were out.”

specially-trained dogs to help

locate the hector’s dolphin, one

of the rarest in the world.

Police criticised over

bar CCTV footage


A BAR is disappointed with

police for not responding to

CCTV footage they supplied

after a suspected arson.

Two weeks ago The Bower on

New Brighton Rd suffered damage

to its outdoor area after it

caught fire.

CCTV footage sent to the

police showed a man hanging

around the outdoor area when

the fire started, and two weeks

before the fire.

The fire started about 6.40pm

on April 26. The bar was closed

at the time.

A rugby team training in

nearby Bower Park saw it and

helped extinguish it.

Pierre de Lautour, whose partner

owns the bar, said he was

still waiting to hear from police

about the CCTV footage.

“We’ve been asking if they’ve

got hold of the guy and that but

there’s been no reply,” de Lautour

said yesterday.

“Last Thursday I’ve seen him

out on his push bike again going

past the pub and down New

Brighton Rd so I don’t know

what the story is.”

A police spokesperson told

The Star yesterday anyone who

could identify the person in the

stills from the CCTV footage

should contact them.

The spokesperson said police

believed the person in the

footage could “assist us with

inquiries.”

Said de Lautour: “I just would

have thought that there might be

a bit more follow up but I don’t

know if they’re too busy or what.

It would be good to kind of just

put it all to rest and just move on

kind of thing.”

PROMINENT Lyttelton building

the British Hotel has a new owner

and he plans to restore it to its

original status.

Roland Logan has purchased

the building from previous

owners Rebecca Lovell-Smith and

Christian Carruthers on an as-is,

where-is condition.

Work on restoring the 1940s

building will begin straight away.

It will be completed in two

stages with stage one involving

the reinstating of the parapet,

new roof and guttering and the

replacement of glass on the top

floor.

The second stage will require

consents and will involve some

redesign, fire upgrades, toilets

in the basement and earthquake

strengthening.

Logan said the restoration

project was well worth doing

and he wanted to reinstate the

building to how it once was.

It would include restoring the

five hotel rooms upstairs.

He and some mates would

work on stage one, which was

expected to take three months.

He hoped to have the project

wrapped up entirely by early next

year.

Logan said he was a ‘‘handson’’

person, who didn’t consider

himself to be a businessman as

such, but rather a supporter of

heritage.

‘‘I am frustrated by the way

heritage is largely ignored in this

country and I want to do my

bit to preserve something

here.’’

Another reason he is taking on

the project is because he has been

denied permission to move the

centrally-located NG building

on Madras St to a new site for

restoration.

Instead that building will now

be demolished to make way for

Christchurch’s new stadium.

‘‘In some ways this purchase

is my consolation for not being

able to tackle the other project,’’

The British Hotel is located on

It currently houses a basement

WORK HAS started on building

a new lookout and upgrading

the sealed car park opposite the

historic 1914 rest house Sign of

the Bellbird.

It’s one of four rest houses

built along the Summit Rd by

conservationist Henry (Harry)

George Ell.

The project is an initiative

of the Summit Road Society, a

charitable organisation set up in

1948 to further Ell’s vision.

The car park will remain

closed for the entire construction

period, which is expected to take

up to four months depending on

the weather. Pedestrian access

to the tracks will be maintained

throughout.

Alternative parking is available

at other parking bays and car

parks along the Summit Rd.

The lookout will feature stone

walls and native plantings, a pou

whenua area, educational panels

and a plaque commemorating

the work of society founder John

Jameson.

Project funding of $150,000

has come from the city council’s

capital endowment fund with

the remainder of the costs fundraised

by the society, which is

managing the project.

Board chairperson Tori

Peden said once completed

Cobham pupils selling

school memorabilia

• By John Cosgrove

INSTEAD OF simply throwing

it away in a landfill, students

at Cobham Intermediate are

holding a garage sale this

weekend to repurpose hundreds

of items not needed when they

move into their new school.

Fancy an old ink well, or some

used rimu desks or chairs, or

even a couple of 1960s-era school

milk bottles, plastic chairs or

maybe even some used iPads?

Then the Cobham reclaim sale

this Friday after school, and

Saturday, may be of interest for

those keen to retain a memory of

their school days at Cobham.

Ten year 8 students from

the Cobham Young Enterprise

Group have organised the sale to

help subsidise needed new equipment

as the pupils and teachers

plan their move into some of the

newly-constructed classrooms

next to the old school premises.

Digital technology teacher

Steve Morgan said the group has

a unique opportunity with the

rebuild.

“The fact that we’ve got a whole

lot of furniture that’s not being

used anymore, and many other

items, the group decided that

instead of just dumping them,

let’s see if we can upsell them

and someone else can basically

Group member Aimee Muncaster,

instead of just putting them in

a skip, hopefully someone will

take the items home.

Whatever’s left over after the

two-day sale will be donated to

a charity shop, should it be suitable.

The school, which was first

built in 1963, will start moving

selected classes over to the new

classrooms later this year and

expect the rebuild work to be

completed by the end of 2023.

Moa – being attacked by a haast’s eagle – were large, flightless birds that

lived in New Zealand until about 500 years ago.

ILLUSTRATION: JOHN MEGAHAN

What the lost moa

is teaching us

about climate change

• By Jamie Morton

THE LONG-LOST moa

can offer useful insights

into how today’s species

might respond to a

fast-changing climate,

scientists say.

In a just-published

study, Otago University

researchers simultaneously

analysed millions of

pieces of DNA from moa

fossils, to explore how

moa changed their

distribution as the

climate heated and

cooled.

They found that

during the last ice

age 25,000 years

ago, the eastern

moa – a subspecies

once spread

across the eastern

and southern South Island

– retreated to the south,

leading to lower genetic diversity

than other species

who inhabited more areas.

The heavy-footed moa,

meanwhile, headed to both

southern and northern regions

of the South Island,

while the upland moa

inhabited four different

areas.

Lead author Dr Alex

Verry said the species was

spread across the eastern

and southern South

Island during the warmer

Holocene period, but was

restricted to the southern

South Island during the

height of the last Ice Age

about 25,000 years ago.

This is in comparison

to the heavy-footed moa,

which retreated to both

southern and northern regions

of the South Island,

while the upland moa

inhabited four different

areas.

“The eastern moa’s response

had consequences

for its population size

Alex Verry

and genetic diversity –

the last Ice Age lead to a

pronounced genetic bottleneck

which meant it ended

up with lower genetic

diversity than other moa

living in the same areas,”

Verry said.

The study, published in

Biology Letters, marked

the first time that highthroughput

DNA sequencing,

which simultaneously

sequences millions

of pieces of DNA,

has been used to

investigate moa

at the population

level.

The findings

highlighted how

past climate change

impacted species

in different ways

and that a “one

size fits all” model was not

practical.

“It makes us wonder

what is going to happen

to species as they attempt

to adapt to climate change

today and into the future?”

Verry said.

“Will they also attempt

to move to new areas in

order to survive? For some

species this will not be

possible, some species will

run out of space, such as

alpine species which will

have to move upward but

can only go so far until

there is no more ‘up’.”

Co-author Dr Nic Rawlence,

director of Otago’s

Palaeogenetics Laboratory,

said the research

was a rare example of the

impacts of past climate

change on extinct megafauna

from New Zealand.

“It showed that we had

all of these individualistic

responses to climate

change – and that you

can’t put everything in the

same basket.

“So, in terms of future

species, we’re actually going

to need conservation

management tailed to

individual species – and

ensuring that they have

habitat available so that

they can respond.”

Evidence gathered from

sediment and ice suggests

it’s been about 10,000 years

since the average annual

temperature was as high as

it is today – and temperatures

we’re now feeling are

therefore likely to be near

the top of the range that

current ecosystems have

experienced.

That’s already limiting

where our species can live.

Early signs include two

weta species moving to

higher elevations on Mt

Taranaki, while native

birds have retreated into

cooler parts of their former

habitats because there are

more predators like possums,

rats, and stoats in

warmer lowland forests.

As the area of cooler

forests shrinks, that

pressure from predators

will increase further -

especially on large birds

like kiwi, whio and North

Island kokako that can’t

easily move.

Rawlence said the study

also demonstrated how

fossil remains and museum

collections could be

used to answer new questions

about the past.

“This is really bringing

the power of palaeogenomics

to New Zealand

research questions,

whereas previously most

research and interest has

focused on Eurasian or

American species.

“We are really starting

to build capacity for this

research in New Zealand.”

Mayoral campaign

SARA TEMPLETON is

reconsidering running for mayor

because she feels there needs

to be a ‘’future focused’’ mayor

in Christchurch. This new

buzzword is mentioned several

times and leaves me wondering

what it means exactly.

I thought all those running

for office are concerned with the

future. Does it mean you are so

focused on the future you forget

the here and now, like smells in

Bromley because it’ll be fixed in

the future?

Does a ‘’future focused’’

person welcome more central

government control over our

assets and what chemicals are put

in our water? Welcome housing

Welcome Local Government

Three Waters

Christchurch city councillor

Sam MacDonald uncovered

the preposterous $34 million

of ratepayers money the

Government has spent on selling

the Three Waters reform lemon.

MacDonald lodged an Official

Information Act Request with

the minister responsible for

this, to gain information on

what the Government has been

doing, for his public meeting

on the April 26 regarding the

Three Waters. He did not receive

this information until after the

meeting.

What he subsequently

discovered was – $18 million

has been spent on lawyers and

consultants, $360,000 on travel,

$2.7 million on accommodation

and support, $3 million on

advertising; plus. This is

totally unrealistic when we

in Christchurch have pipes in

need of repair, and the Bromley

sewerage plant needs a roof.

Why are we paying such

an eye-watering amount on

something none of us want. –

Jane Lila McKenzie, St Albans


Company appointed to remove debris

from wastewater treatment plant

SOUTHERN Demolition has

been taken on to remove the

material that is causing the

real stench at the wastewater

treatment plant and is moving

on site to start work.

The early estimates saw this

stretching out for until the end

of the year. Now we expect the

work to be completed by early

spring.

Apart from all the behind-thescenes

stuff, what residents will

see happening straight away is

the site preparation, bringing on

the heavy machinery required

and building the massive ramp

up to the top of the first of the

two structures. They should

be ready to start removing the

material at the end of Queen’s

Birthday weekend.

The teams will be working at

least six days a week, 12 hours

a day. They will work fast, but

they must work safely. It will be

a busy operating treatment plant

with a number of hazards.

From a governance point of

view, we have an Insurance

Subcommittee that will be

closely monitoring progress,

and updates will be reported

fortnightly to city council, with

weekly updates being sent out to

residents.

In addition, we are setting

aside some resources to support

people through the coming

weeks.

Finally, I want to offer an

apology on behalf of the city

council. This was a catastrophic

fire of enormous proportions. It

has been a massive job with a lot

going on behind the scenes.

Mayor

Lianne Dalziel

But we didn’t get enough

information out to let people

know what was happening.

That’s not good enough and we

need to do better.

ABOUT PEGASUS HEALTH

Who we are

Pegasus Health is a charitable organisation committed to supporting

‘all Cantabrians leading healthy lives’.

We support general practices and community-based health providers within Canterbury

to deliver quality health care, to more than 445,000 enrolled patients. We have primary

care teams that are responsive to the wellbeing needs of our patients and communities.

Prioritising Māori, Pasifika and people with mental health needs, is important to our work.

PEGASUS HEALTH’S NEW CEO COMMITTED

TO COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

A family man with a blended family of six kids,

Mark has been in New Zealand for 21 years.

He came here for a better life for himself,

his wife, and his family. He is also a keen

musician and plays bass guitar in a

grunge band after growing up listening

to 90s bands such as Soundgarden and

Nirvana.

Born and educated in England, Mark

has spent his working life in the health,

disability, and community sectors. His

leadership potential was recognised from

an early age when he was offered a Head of

Department position with the National Health

Service (NHS) in London at 20 years old.

Before leaving the UK for the greener pastures of

Aotearoa, Mark spent five and a half years at the Great

Ormond Street Children’s Hospital in London.

“The place that gave me as much passion for my job as

Pegasus does, was Great Ormond Street

Children’s Hospital. The work Great

Ormond Street does is phenomenal,

and I still stay in contact with them

now,” says Mark.

Since working in New Zealand,

Mark’s commitment to community

engagement has become a central

tenet to his approach to developing

health care services.

He grabbed the opportunity to be

the Inaugural Manager of a brand new

purpose-built Medical Centre, Central Med,

in Tauranga. That was his first introduction

to primary care, learning about engagement with

population and building services around what people’s

needs and wants were.

“For me, Pegasus an organisation with people living well

at the heart of its purpose really resonated with me. I

have seen how small changes in primary care can make

a massive difference in the lives and wellbeing of our

communities,” Mark says.

Being at Pegasus for over a decade, Mark is proud and

privileged to be where he is now and considers it an

honour to be the Manukura at Pegasus.

“It has got the best culture and probably the most

committed people of any organisation I have ever

worked in,” he says.

With change on the horizon, Mark is quietly confident in

his ability to lead Pegasus through the health reforms.

“There is a lot of change coming and most of what the

health reforms are aspiring to see in the community is at

the heart of what we do. There will be some change, but

my job over the next year or two is to position us well for

the future and keep building on the legacy that comes

from this organisation that was born of general practice,”

says Mark.

UC POP-UP PROVIDES ACCESS TO

TESTING FOR ĀKONGA

During the start of the Omicron outbreak, the

University of Canterbury (UC) had one of the largest

clusters of positive cases amongst students.

The decision to have a pop-up site on campus was

to help aid the demand of the cluster, specifically for

those ākonga in the halls of residence, where initial

cases swiftly increased.

Jamiee Cairns, Site Lead for the pop-up

COVID-19 testing station, says they had

hundreds of students coming through

every day, starting off with Polymerase

Chain Reaction (PCR) testing. Eventually

this changed to Rapid Antigen Testing (RAT)

to keep up with the demand and allow

students to self-test at home.

“The testing clinic was greatly appreciated and

made a significant difference for our students,” says

Ripeka Tamanui-Hurunui, Director of Equity.

“Having your team on campus meant that hundreds

of students were able to access testing that would not

have been accessible to them otherwise,” Ripeka says.

Many students on campus are first-time students with

no access to transportation and living away from their

hometown. Having a testing station on site meant that

it was accessible for them to get tested and reduced

demand at other testing sites.

“There was a high level of need and anxiety about

accessing testing; the team arrived just in time. It took

the pressure off when we most needed it and allowed

us to focus on those who needed medical attention,”

says Teàrlach MacLean, General Practitioner at UC

Health Centre.

Vikram Selvaraj, University of Canterbury’s Student

President says he was glad to see the testing site on

campus.

“It gave students the opportunity to

get tested, keeping themselves and

others safe. The site was open for

several days, giving students

the opportunity to drop in

whenever they could,” says

Vikram.

The pop-up testing station at

the University of Canterbury

saw over 1,300 students, staff

and whānau. More than 650

PCR tests were done and close

to 1,000 RATs were distributed

during the seven days they were

on campus.

“Our team thoroughly enjoyed working at

UC, with several requesting to be rostered there.

The students, despite being sick, were friendly and

supportive of each other,” says Jaimee.

Get planting before the soil gets too wet

DAYS ARE NOW shorter and

nights longer, temperatures are

dropping, all signs that winter

is very near. A lot of tasks in the

garden to be carried out before it

becomes too cold and wet.

Vegetable garden

Continue planting traditional

winter vegetables, broccoli, Brussel

sprouts, cabbages, cauliflower,

onions, peas, silverbeet and

spinach.

May is also the preferred month

for sowing broad beans. To do

this, enrich the soil thoroughly,

add a ‘dressing’ of lime along with

fresh compost.

Sow the seed 10-15mm deep

and 100-150 mm apart. Single or

double rows can be sown.

Garlic can also be planted in

May; they prefer well-drained soil

with generous amounts of compost.

Plant the cloves 30-40mm

deep and 50-60 mm between

each clove.

Flowering annuals

Continue planting winter flowering

annuals throughout May.

Maintain a watch for slugs and

snails that may still be operating.

Winter flowers annuals to plant

include alyssum, calendulas,

cineraria, cornflowers, lobelia,

pansies, poppies, primulas, snapdragons,

stock, sweet pea, Sweet

William, wallflowers, and violas.

Perennials

While many perennials

prefer to grow undisturbed

for many years, they eventually

become overcrowded producing

poor growth and flowering.

May is an ideal month for

safely dividing and replanting

A LOT of vegetables grow happily

through the cold weather.

Don’t forget, though, that

winter is also a good time to leave

some beds empty so that they

have a rest. It’s also a good season

to create some new vege beds.

The easy way to do this is to

start by constructing an aboveground

edging. Then fill the

numerous perennials. Prepare

new sites thoroughly prior to

division and then swiftly replant

newly divided plants into the

selected sites in the garden. Any

old/diseased plant mater should

be disposed of.

Strawberries

The planting of next

season strawberries should

be completed in May. Even

though there are cold winter

months ahead, the earlier

strawberries are planted the

better the spring growth. Always

plant some new varieties as well

as the runners from your old

strawberry plants. You can also

extend the harvesting season,

straw or grass clippings.

Leave this alone for a couple

perfect base for your spring

plantings. An additional

sprinkling of lime encourages

biological activity in the bed and

will prove to be beneficial for

most veges.

early, late and day neutral

varieties.

Fruit trees

The pruning of pip and stone

fruit trees can begin towards the

end of May. Aim to reduce the

height of fruit trees to manageable

levels for picking and

maintenance work. Remove all

inward growing branches and any

‘crisscrossing’ branches. Always

observe during the summer

months, where the fruit are on

the tree i.e., the age of the branches

that produce the fruit. After

pruning is completed follow up

with a copper spray. Be prepared

Shirley lock poised for his

HE’S NOT the tallest lock

bounding around, but when it

comes to experience Phil Watson

is head and shoulders above his

teammates.

The converted loose forward

is a game away from the 300

division one match milestone,

and the Christchurch Metro

Cup stalwart continues to

display the qualities which

make the 37-year-old such a

vital cog in the Shirley engine

room.

When last Saturday’s match

with Christchurch was in the

balance at 24-18 as the clock

wound down, 1.88m Watson was

hoisted perfectly by his lifters to

snatch a lineout against the feed,

an intervention that enabled

the visitors to absorb valuable

seconds before full-time.

The most seasoned campaigner

in Shirley’s top squad, Watson

was constantly cajoling and

directing his teammates around

Christchurch Park, before

celebrating victory – Shirley’s

second from five games – with

a bite-sized chocolate bar, and a

water. Post-match refreshments

will undoubtedly be stronger

this Saturday, as Watson records

the latest landmark appearance

of a one-club career which

started in 2003.

He joined Shirley after moving

from Ashburton to study

at Canterbury University and

debuted against New Brighton as

an openside flanker.

three ACL reconstructions

before recording his 200th appearance

in 2016.

Since then, the department

head of physical education and

health at Christchurch Boys’

High School, has proved remarkably

durable.

“I’ve been really lucky with

injuries, I’ve had niggles but

nothing too major,” he said.

“I think the reason is when

you get older, you get a bit wiser.

You know where not to go on the

field and you know what to do

after the game.”

However, the after match

ritual will be more old school at

Burwood Park after Saturday’s

clash with Belfast.

“I’ll have a couple and hopefully

a few boys can come and

celebrate with me. It’ll be a

pretty cool occasion being at

home as well,” Watson said.

He put in an 80min shift

against Christchurch, indicating

father time is yet to catch up on

the father-of-two. Their mother,

however, has gently blown the

whistle.

“This will be the last year, this

“I’ve told the wife (Teresa)

two young kids (aged 2-½ and

seven months).”

While proud of his longevity,

his contribution to the team

counted more than any number.

“I don’t really care too much

about numbers. I’m more about

doing what I can to help the

team,” said Watson, who has

transitioned from a fetcher to the

tight five.

“I started as a seven, then went

to six and eight. The last three to

four years I’ve gone to lock. I’m

getting a bit slower. For what I

can do, that’s my best position.”

Watson celebrated his 100-

game milestone with success

over Belfast, and although the

club has been struggling, they

did break their 2022 duck with

victory over last year’s runnersup

Burnside last weekend.

So, there will be no room for

complacency for the milestone

man and his mates.

“I hate to say it, but they are

our bogey team,” Watson said.

“We constantly underestimate

them, and you can’t

underestimate any team. If

they get on a roll they can be

dangerous.”

Shirley now loom, with veteran

lock-loose forward Phil Watson’s

300th division one appearance

providing added motivation for

the Vikings.

Sydenham lead the standings

as the only unbeaten side in

the competition after Lincoln

University experienced their first

setback of the season, a 36-24

defeat to Linwood.

They strive to get back on track

against New Brighton, while

Sydenham take on champions

Marist Albion in the game of the

round.

Football

Garbhan Coughlan spearheaded

Cashmere Technical’s

scoring spree at Garrick Park

as Cashmere Technical boosted

their goal difference to +25 after

six successive wins; Christchurch

United lead as they have played

an extra game.

Coughlan completed his hattrick

– and the hammering – in

the 89th-minute while Lyle Matthysen

and Kian Donkers both

netted twice.

Christchurch United also

dominated Dunedin opposition,


albeit to a lesser extent, as they

prevailed 3-1 away at Green

Island.

The frontrunners are set for

a tantalising fixture to open

round eight when United host

Cashmere Technical in a Friday

night clash on May 20, as the first

round of the Chatham Cup takes

precedence this weekend.

Cashmere Technical, the

holders, should be too strong for

Nomads United among a slate of

local derbies.

Fuel-friendly Fiat 500 sure to appeal

MUCH OF THE talk around

motor vehicles in the last couple

of months has centred around

fuel use.

With petrol (and diesel) prices

up and down like a yo-yo, the

cost of filling up a tank is on

almost every car owner’s mind.

That’s where small, fuelefficient

cars come in, those that

have small engines and have

technology that maximises every

drop are being snapped up almost

as quickly as they arrive in the

country.

One company offering good

supply is Fiat, and it has a new

500 landing in healthy numbers.

What’s more, it has a low carbon

emission engine that means a

buyer will be eligible for a $2180

rebate through the clean car

discount scheme, a Government

initiative to lower greenhouse

gases.

Long gone are the days when

the 500 was named Bambina

here, its rear engine layout was

advanced for its time and quickly

won favour with a good part of

the population.

Today’s Fiat 500 is vastly different;

sure it’s shape is extremely

retrospective, but the engine sits up

front (transversely), and with fourcylinders

it has double the number

as the original, it also has an engine

of 1.2-litre against 479cc.

RETROSPECTIVE: A wheel in each corner look for the Fiat 500.

Even though the new Fiat 500

has an engine that would appear

sizeable for a small car, it has the

efficiency that will make it desirable.

Fiat list the new 500 with a

4.8-litre per 100km combined

cycle average, that’s about as good

as it gets for a non-hybrid model

and that makes it a stunningly

economical car. What’s more, it is

remarkably entertaining to drive.

The 500 is instantly

recognisable, not so much

because of its diminutive stature,

but it has a blunt sloping bonnet

and a wheel in each corner look.

Bear in mind though, the 500 is

only a four-seater and those in

the rear will need to be slight of

build.

The 500 is available here in

two variations at present, highperformance

Abarth models

aside. There’s bound to be more

options arriving as time goes by,

but the choice now is what Fiat

name Lounge and Dolcevita; effectively

it is low and high grade,

the test car was the entry-level

model that sits at $22,990, which

by my reckoning, is good value

buying, the Dolcevita adds $3k.

If you also take into account the

little amount of fuel the 500 uses

then outlay will be paid back over

time.

During my time in the evaluation

car the fuel usage readout

was listing an average of

5.5l/100km which is an excellent

return given the car was almost

brand new (280km) and would

still be tight in the engine. At

100km/h it is sipping fuel at the

rate of just 3.8l/100km.

The interior is also retrospective,

it clings to a design that’s not

dissimilar to the original model

that was built from 1957 to 1977.

However, the newcomer does

have modern elements such as a

central touch screen display and

other fitment that a new car buyer

today would come to expect.

I’ve long been a Fiat owner

and over the years I have complained

more about their seats

and seating positions than any

other car I’ve been involved with.

But things have changed, the 500

has brilliant seats, soft, grippy and

with plenty of under-thigh support.

From the moment you sit in

them you know you are going to

be comfortable.

Under the bonnet sits a 1242cc

engine, it develops just 51kW and

102Nm but both these figures

register just below the traditional

points of the rev band, with

maximum torque available at just

1750rpm meaning the engine

is barely ticking over before it is

pulling at the best part of the rev

band.

Weighing just over 900kg, the

Fiat 500’s engine doesn’t work

hard to gain momentum. Yes, you

do need to give the accelerator

pedal a bit of a nudge at take-off,

• Price – Fiat 500, $22,990

• Dimensions – Length,

3571mm; width, 1627mm;

height, 1488mm

• Configuration – Fourcylinder,

front-wheeldrive,

1242cc, 51kW,

102Nm, five-speed

automatic

• Performance –

0-100km/h, 12.9sec

• Fuel usage – 4.8l/100km

but once the engine becomes

lively speed is ushered in willingly.

Drive is channelled through a

five-speed transmission that Fiat

label Dualogic. Effectively, it is a

manual gearbox with a robotised

clutch but there are only two pedals

so you treat it like a traditional

automatic. One of the benefits is

that you can use it like a manual,

changing up or down simply

by moving the gear lever at any

given point.

With sensible ratios the 500 is

an easy city car, it is relaxing to

drive and battles the rush-hour

traffic without taxing the driver.

Against the clock it will

reach 100kmh from a standstill

in 12.9sec, and it will make

120km/h from 80km/h in around

11sec.

At open road speeds the 500 is

quiet and relaxing to drive, any

external sound is well stifled.

Interestingly, Fiat has persevered

with their dual mode

power steering set-up.

FIAT 500:

Available

in two

specifications

starting from

$22,990 with

a $2180

rebate.

The 500 has a push-button city

mode which lightens steering feel

considerably to take the pressure

of close confine manoeuvring.

Personally, I preferred the more

involving mode, but I do appreciate

for those who have movement

restriction or aren’t as strong in

the wrists as they would like to

be, the system would be of much

benefit.

I took the evaluation car for a

couple of highway excursions,

one of them was to west of Darfield

where its handling dynamics

were well captured.

Sitting on soft spring and

damper rates, the 500 has a plush

and controlled ride that would

have been hard to engineer, given

its short wheelbase. Not only is

it comfortable, but because of its

light weight gravitational transfer

in a corner isn’t significant. It can

be placed into a corner with reasonable

speed and its accuracy and

precision will command control.

The new 500 lands at a very

opportune time, if its cheeky style

and design doesn’t win friends

then its economy will.

Sure there are disadvantages, it

is compact inside, and for those

who are above average height

and are consigned to the rear will

need to be mindful their heads

will reach the roofline, and space

to spread out there is negligible.

However, if you want a small

car and like the idea of something

retrospective, and Italian, then

Fiat have created a very desirable

package.
