Christchurch’s best read and largest circulating newspaper
Campaign to
empower
women
hung up on show in Tūranga.
Ahmed is one of eight
Somali women aged between
20 and 70 whose art is now on
display in the Gurigeena: Our
Home exhibition, held by the
Canterbury Somali Association
on the library’s ground floor.
“I don’ think any of us know
how good our artwork is. At
the time I didn’t think it was a
big deal but seeing it up there is
impressive,” Ahmed said.
The exhibition is one of the
ways the association is giving a
voice to the Somali community
in Christchurch, particularly in
the aftermath of the March 15,
2019 terror attacks.
Ahmed’s work is “pretty
much” a self-portrait.
“She’s deep in thought and
whatever she’s thinking about,
it’s very deep. Maybe world
peace or something like that,”
she said.
Ahmed said the class was
so great for the group’s wellbeing
and gave her a little “me
time”.
The group of women
attended eigh two-hour classes
hosted by artist and ar teacher
Janet Molineaux.

PARKLAND’S Pukeko Centre has
received the boost it needs to ge the
multi-million dollar facility over the
line.
The centre was granted $400,000
in the city council’s annual plan
following unanimous support for
the grant in the draft annual plan. It
will allow the committee to finalise
construction on the multi-use
sports hall.
Pukeko Centre committee member
Andrew Weastell said he was
ecstatic to hear the funding had
been approved.
“It makes it a lot easier when
you have support from your local
council. Celeste
[Donovan]has also
been a big driver of
getting us into the
draft annual plan,”
he said.
Coastal Ward
councillor Celeste
Donovan has been
lobbying for the
project and said locals
have put in a lot of groundwork.
“Where there is a will there is a
way and this is an example of the
community, staff and elected representatives
working together for a
great outcome.”
Donovan said the focus will be
construction of the sports hall,
which will provide a space for
sporting activities and access for
Parkview Primary School.

STADIUM SUPPORTED
• By Chris Barclay
A CONCERTED campaign by the
city’s rugby power bases urging fans
to express support for the
Te Kaha/Canterbury Multi-
Use Arena, appears to have
achieved the desired result.
But a key tenant of the
proposed 30,000-seat
covered CBD facility is not
yet celebrating ahead of
next Thursday’s vote by city
councillors to determine
the immediate future of a polarising
project so far tagged at $683 million.
The Crusaders and Canterbury
Rugby Football Union appealed for
supporters to make submissions
before the deadline expired on
Colin
Mansbridge
Tuesday night so were delighted to
learn early analysis showed 77 per
cent of the 30,5000 respondents
wanted the city council to cover
a $150 million cost blow out
and proceed with construction.
Council figures released
yesterday revealed eight per
cent of respondents advocated
a pause; 15 per cent argued
it should be abandoned. A
complete analysis is expected to
be released next week.
Despite the snapshot
displaying overwhelming support
for the project, Crusaders chief
executive Colin Mansbridge was
wary.

IT WAS hard to miss, a warning
painted directly onto the road
telling anyone who passed by
that dirty deeds had been done.
But it was not just a public
warning, it was a question
directed at one person who had
inflicted a particular injury –
that of infidelity.
“Whose husband next?” it
asked, in vibrant spray paint on
the streets of Wigram.
The words, fittingly written
in scarlet, were spraypainted by
the wronged party with a clear
hand, the neat font betraying a
determination born of fury.
The message was written on
The Runway, one of the main
streets in the Wigram Skies
development – and it was not the
only one.
The area directly around the
message is industrial, home
to Skellerup and the Original
Foods Bakery factory – which
was quickly fingered online as
being the workplace targeted,
with multiple similar messages
reportedly appearing around the
site.
The community Facebook page
rushed to fill this information
vacuum with shock, speculation
and praise for the “pretty
tidy tagging”.
“Cougar on the loose,” said one
excitable Wigramite, while another
made the wild leap that the
author was “probably a teacher”
because the spelling was correct.
Others called the punctuation
into question, debating whether

House prices double every decade
• By Catherine Masters
HOUSE PRICES double roughly
every 10 years, analysis from
property data company Valocity
confirms.
The research was done back
to 1990 to see what the median
house price was on the last day
of each year.
The results were “astounding”,
OneRoof property columnist
Ashley Church said.
Dirty deeds spice up
the streets of Wigram
Pie 'n' Pint
“They show, for example, that
from 2002 to 2011 house prices
each year were almost exactly
double what they were 10 years
earlier.”
The numbers are not always
exactly 100 per cent up every
10 years, with the percentage
falling from 2012 to 2021, for
example. The average annual
increase for those years dropped
to 85.5 per cent, probably

reflecting house prices were
getting more expensive and

said, although last year – 2021
– still showed a 112 per cent

past three decades in spite of

“who’s” rather than “whose”.

derailed the comment thread.
“Sounds like someone has

another local, stating the obvious

GFC.
Also, the rate of house price
growth is slowing, probably as
a reflection of what the average
Kiwi can afford to pay, he said.

isn’t a guarantee of future
performance, Church says it
would be foolish to ignore the
likely implications of these
trends. —NZ Herald
but steering the comments back
on track.
“Hope she spray-painted
her husband’s car,” a local
woman offered, while another
unhelpfully wrote: “Haha
shame!!!”.
The furore even drew Waipuna
Halswell-Hornby-Riccartom
Community Board member
Andrei Moore, who responded
with “crikey” and “yikes” and
vowed to chase up with the city
council.
The original poster then
returned to the thread to summarise.
“Ok, so after a lot of comments
I think we have established the
following:
• 1 – No one knows anything.
• 2 – The spelling and grammar
is correct.
• 3 – It is very neat writing for
spray paint.
• 4 – Someone needs to contact
the council to have it removed.”
A city council spokesman
said “the graffiti was removed
by our contractors using a water
blaster”.
They did note that “remnants
may still be visible,” a fitting end
to an incident likely to linger
for a lifetime, in at least one
marriage.

Chapel
secures
home on
foreshore
A SHELL-SHAPED chapel
that won people’s hearts has
been restored and moved to a
prominent spot next to He Puna
Taimoana Hot Pools on the New
Brighton foreshore.
The chapel won the people’s
choice award in the 2016 Tiny
Huts design competition, but has
been tucked away under the pier
for several years while the playground
and hot pools were being
developed.
The New Brighton Residents
Association requested the move
to better showcase the popular
artwork.
Designer Ting Lin, who was
studying for a Bachelor of Architectural
Studies at Ara Institute
of Canterbury at the time, said it
was very exciting to see the chapel
refreshed and moved to its new
location.
“This just shows what small
architecture can mean to the
community. I designed the chapel
when I was a student and though I
have been working in the industry
for four years now and designed
many buildings since, the Shell
Chapel still holds a special place
in my heart.”
Her design was inspired by
a story told to her by a New
Brighton resident about how the
community had banded together
to donate a wedding to a local
couple in need.
The other tiny hut remaining in
city council ownership has been
gifted to the New Brighton Community
Gardens.
The Art-omat was repaired
and repainted and will be used
for shelter, seed collecting and
drying.

“It’s excellent news, but
obviously councillors still have
to vote to sign the contract.
Councillors will vote from
their own perspective. It’s a
consultation, they’re not bound
by it,” he said.
Hoping the vote would green
light the project Mansbridge,
said the focus should then be
on minimising the impact on
ratepayers.
“You hope council are going
to say: ‘Let’s go on with it’. Then
the effort needs to go into how
it’s done. How does this get
done with as low an impact on
residents as possible?”
Canterbury Rugby Football
Union chief executive Tony Smail
added: “We’re really pleased to
see that so many people took
the time to express their feelings
with the council regarding Te
Kaha.
“We thought it was important
for everyone to have a say in the
process and that looks to have
happened. Hopefully the council
now has direction and responds
accordingly.
“We understand the response
has overwhelmingly been in
favour of getting on with it, so
let’s do it.”
While some city councillors
have kept their own counsel on
the issue, aspiring mayor and
Burwood Ward representative
Phil Mauger welcomed
yesterday’s findings.
“This result gives council a
clear mandate on what people
want. It will be up to the new
council (installed after October
8) to prioritise its capital
programme to ensure this does
not become a financial burden to
ratepayers.”
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
‘This result gives council a clear mandate’
Mauger’s rival for the
mayoralty, David Meates, said he
was in favour of the building a
new stadium, though “not at any
cost”.
“Until we complete it we’re
going to struggle as a city to
move beyond our earthquake
days but the concerns I’ve had is
where is the money coming to
support this?”
He was looking forward to the
city council providing clarity on
financing once the decision was
made.
“We’re in the middle of a cost
of living crisis, there’s a lot of
pressure across the community.
So we need to be careful choices
and decisions are not made
at the expense of the whole
population.”
Greater Hornby Residents
Association member Ross
Houliston made a submission in
favour of the project proceeding,
with the rider costs be trimmed
wherever possible.
“I wrote on it,
forget about the
gold-plating,” he
said.
“The stadium’s
got to go in
sooner or later
and the later
you leave it the
more it’s going
to cost but we
don’t need a

gold-plated stadium, we need a
basic stadium.”
Respondents on the Star

divided following the council’s
submission update.
“Then how about those
who want it can pay for it out of
their rates and those who don’t
want it, will never use it and
shouldn’t have to pay for it get
a rates reduction?” asked Ellen
Hoy.
However, Ann Taylor raised
the alternative view: “Just get
on with building stadium! Stop
wasting money with all these

HEATHCOTE WARD city
councillor Sara Templeton will
not join the mayoralty race,
a decision inspired by David
Meates opting to challenge Phil
Mauger.
Once the former Canterbury
District Health Board boss
announced his candidacy last
Thursday, Templeton refocused
on securing a third term on
the council at October’s local
government elections.
Templeton initially ruled
out a mayoral campaign, but
reconsidered in May when it
appeared there would not be an
alternative to fellow independent
councillor
Mauger.
“I had ruled
it out some
time ago, but
when there was
no confirmed
competition
and following
a lot of people
asking if I would
stand I decided to reconsider my
previous decision,” she said.
Templeton was pleased Meates
– who returned from the United
Kingdom last weekend after a
health-related contract in England
and Wales – had confirmed
speculation he would attempt to
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
succeed Lianne
Dalziel.
“What I’ve
seen so far is really
encouraging,
so I’m sticking
by my previous
decision to
rule it out, this
time round,” she
said.
“I think it’ll be very useful for
us to have some fresh eyes on
council, rather than the factions
stuff that seems to be around at
the moment.”
Templeton did not believe
a lack of local government
experience would necessarily
count against
Meates when
he takes on
Mauger, a oneterm
city
councillor for
the Burwood
Ward.
“Very few
people have local
government
experience before they were
elected to council, the other
mayoral contender didn’t,”
Templeton said.
While welcoming Meates’
involvement, Templeton said
she would not actively support
his bid.

POLICE HAVE seized
methamphetamine, firearms,
ammunition and tens of
thousands of dollars after a
number of raids in Christchurch,
Northland and Auckland.
Seven people with reported
links to gangs, including a teenager,
have been arrested and face
court action in coming days.

Detective Senior Sergeant Greg
Holmes said the warrants were
the conclusion of the eightmonth
Operation Campbell, run
by Police’s National Organised
Crime Group targeting a methamphetamine
manufacturer who
had established a distribution

$100,000 and a number of other
items of evidence were seized
during the raids on Christchurch,

properties.

Holmes said the operation began
on Monday afternoon until
Tuesday morning.
“Six men and one woman,
aged between 18-52, with reported
links to the Head Hunter
and King Cobra gangs, were arrested
across the last two days,”
said Holmes.
“They face a total of 50 charges
including manufacture and
supply of the Class A controlled
drug methamphetamine, unlawful
possession of a firearm, and
Phil
Mauger
participating in an Organised
Criminal Group.
“Our message to those involved
is clear – we have zero tolerance
for any violence, gang and
drug activities,” said Holmes.
“Methamphetamine devastates
many vulnerable communities
while organised criminal groups
continue to profit off this type of
offending.”
Holmes said police were confident
the operation would majorly

The raids dismantled a large

producing kilograms of methamphetamine

“The combination of drugs
and firearms is always a potentially
lethal recipe for harm and
continues to be of grave concern
for police and communities.

arrests as the investigation is
ongoing.”

28 seconds after the field tackled
their first 6.706km loop from
7.30am on Saturday.
The 29-year-old Sumner-based
ultra distance athlete ultimately
completed 35 loops, one more
than Queenstown’s Brandon
Purdie and Dunedin’s John
Bayne.
Harvey had the relative luxury
of coasting to the finish on Sunday
night, in spite of needing
running repairs deep into his
234.85km journey.
“When I was going through
that little moment of softness, I
think it was the 180km mark,”
he said, “a callus on my big toe
came away, I had a chunk of flesh
rubbing in my shoe.
“I thought: ‘This could be my
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Battling demons, still standing after 234km
race over’ but I came into the
race base, ripped my shoe off,
wrapped it up and got back out
there.
“There was no pain. I thought:
‘You marvellous bastard, you’ve
fixed it’ and I just kept on with
the positive self-talk. I found my
groove and it was my race from
then as far as I’m concerned,” he
said.
While supreme fitness was
obviously a prerequisite, Harvey
was fortified – and hamstrung
– by a 10th place finish in the
Southern Sydney 24 Hour Ultra
a month earlier, winning the
mind games was also essential.
“I think if you endure a lifetime
of suffering or mental hardships
it prepares you very well for
this,” he said.
“I battled with some demons
in the night, especially on
Sunday morning. Going into it
with the rig already busted up
and broken down (from Sydney)
gave me a pretty good handicap.
“The voices in your head start
saying: ‘You’re not good enough
or maybe it wouldn’t be so bad
if you quit. Your family will still
love you’ that sort of s..t.’”
Giving up was never an option
for Harvey, who managed to
rehydrate at the end of each
circuit after making sure to
conserve enough energy as
LAST MAN STANDING: Sam Harvey in his ninth loop,
taking on nutrition, and completing his 35th and final
loop in the Krayzie Midwinter Backyard Ultra endurance

rivals wilted.
“It’s better to just go slow, take
it easy and not damage your
body too much and have a short
rest at the end of each lap.”
Runners had an hour to complete
each loop, giving Harvey a
manageable target.
“Because this course was so
much flatter I buttoned back and
did my casual 52-minute loops
and let the bravado boys carry
on doing their 45-minute loops,
which ended up stinging them.”
Harvey’s next assignment is
the New Zealand leg of the Backyard
Ultra world championships
in October, where 15-strong
teams from each country compete
on their home track at the
same time.
Although a team event,
each country’s lead runner is
rewarded with entry in the 2023
Backyard Ultra world championships
in the United States.
Harvey completed his first ‘last
man standing’ event in Auckland
last year, though his interest in
long distance running goes back
further to his teenage years.
“I played rugby and I did boxing
and triathlon. They require
running and that’s the thing I’m
actually best at so that was my
focus,” he said.
“All roads led back to
running.”

AN INITIATIVE to empower
women to join the city’s labour
market has launched in a bid to
counter a Covid-19-based lack
of skilled migrants boosting the
local economy.
ChristchurchNZ, the city
council’s sustainable economic
development agency, developed
PowerUp after Statistics New
Zealand’s household labour force
survey data estimated 20,000
local women could re-enter the
workforce if supplied with the
necessary advice and support.
Designed as an information
hub to connect women with
employment and career
opportunities, PowerUp also
stemmed from a skilled migrant
advocacy paper ChristchurchNZ
and the Canterbury Employers’
Chamber of Commerce
delivered to the Government in
April.
It requested an increase in
skilled migration as the impacts
of an extreme skilled labour
shortage applied the brakes to
Canterbury’s economic growth.
“The campaign was a direct
result of businesses crying out
for more staff and the enormous
untapped potential of attracting
more women into the workforce,”
said ChristchurchNZ
chief executive Ali Adams.
“Our research has shown that
practical adjustments, such as
flexible working arrangements
or meaningful roles, can be
real drivers for women when
choosing employment.”
The campaign runs
until November and will
be followed by contact
with potential employers
to equip them with the
right information to
provide, said Adams, “an
attractive and supportive
workplace”.

SPCA shocked after 22 starving
• By Susan Sandys
SAVED: Jaz Crowther of the SPCA with Remus and
Plimpy.
IT WAS the biggest single
dumping of animals in at least 10
years, and one that shocked the
SPCA.
Twenty-two small puppies were
found alongside the Waimakariri
River, cold and starving.
It is the second dumping of
pets in the area in recent weeks,
following a disabled kunekune
being left to die on the side of the
road at West Melton last month,
which was reported in The Star.
Christchurch SPCA foster
and volunteer team leader Jaz
Crowther said when the call
came in from a woman saying
she had found 22 puppies running
around alongside the river,
staff could scarcely believe it.
“Maybe there’s only like five,
and they are just running really
fast,” Crowther said when describing
their thoughts.
An inspector was, however,
able to confirm the number, and
soon the SPCA was on its way
to the scene. Crowther said the
woman had been able to gather
them all up, and SPCA staff
ended up meeting her on the
road half way. The precise location
of the dumping could not be
confirmed as the finder herself
had not known exactly where
it was.
Crowther said after getting
their canine load back to
headquarters, staff triaged six
as needing urgent veterinary
care. The remaining 16 could
go straight to quarantine for
weighing and flea and worm
treatment.
All of the puppies were underweight,
cold and riddled with
worms. Apart from the critically
ill ones at the vet that required
syringe feeding, the remainder
“woofed down” their first meal.
“MIRACLE”:
Niffler
is now
doing well
following
emergency
care and
lots of love.
Following tradition, staff set
out to name the puppies according
to a theme. They were helped
along in this regard by a plethora
of characters in the Harry Potter
books.
The puppies’ names are Bellatrix,
Plimpy, Remus, Gilderoy,
Niffler, Myrtle, Norbert, Hedwig,
Fleur, Tonks, Peeves, Hagrid,
Pygmy Puff, Fang, Dobby, Sybil,
Nymphadora, Harpy, Pansy,
Newt, Griffin and Sirius.

puppies were dumped by river
Sadly one of the six that had required
urgent care, Sirius, could
not be saved.
The remaining 21, by now
dubbed the Potter Puppies, were
all fostered out between 10 homes
the following day.
“We are very lucky that so
many foster parents put their
hands up. We are a bit depleted
now though,” Crowther said.
The organisation was always on
the lookout for additional foster
parents for dogs, and even more
so now.
Crowther said it had been a
“logistical feat” to get all the
supplies ready to go with each
puppy as they went to their foster
homes.
“I need to find 21 collars and
leads next.”
A Potter Puppies play date was
planned for this week, where the
21 would be able to run around
once again together, just like they
had been doing alongside the
river that day. Except this time
they would be much healthier
and happier.
Crowther said the puppies had
been about five to six weeks old
when found on June 21. They
would be desexed at the end of
this month and put up for adoption
next month.
It was good to see them thriving
with plenty of warmth and
food at their foster homes. Their

had been just 700g to 1.8kg.
“Their wee sunk in faces are
looking a bit more rounded out.
Considering how sickly they all
were when they came in, the
fact that we only lost one is a
miracle.”
Crowther said staff suspected
the puppies, all a staffordshire
bull terrier mix, were from two
separate litters, with 10 being
slightly bigger than the other 11.
However, it was hard to tell and
they could even be from more
than two litters.
While the SPCA is no stranger
to animals being left for dead, a
spokesperson said this was the
highest number of animals in a
single dumping in the Canterbury
region for at least about 10
years.
Crowther said the incident
served as a reminder for people to
get their animals desexed. Additionally,
she advised that anyone
overwhelmed with puppies or
kittens should contact the SPCA,
which focused on helping sick,

Meanwhile, the SPCA is continuing

of the kunekune on June 17.
The pig could not walk and was
left by the side of the road with
bedding and food. Locals came

the SPCA, where it sadly had to
be euthanised the following day,
believed to be due to its severe
arthritis.

Work set to start
on Dyers Pass Rd
MORE ROAD works are ready
to start on Dyers Pass Rd at the
weekend.
Higgins will under take the
road works to install more safety
barriers at several high-risk
locations between Governors Bay
and the Sign of the Takahe from
Sunday, July 10.
More than
2.5km of safety
barriers have
already been
installed along
the road last
year, city council
head of transport
Lynette Ellis said.
“The current
Long Term Plan
Lynnette
Ellis
has budget available so that we
can make several more high-risk
areas of Dyers Pass Rd safer,”
Ellis said.
“By the time we finish this next
phase of work, we’ll have safety
barriers on around 75 per cent
of Dyers Pass Rd, which should
make the road much safer for
everyone.”
Ellis said the council is aware
of the disruption and frustration
caused by the work on Dyers
Pass Rd last year.
She said it is taking a different
approach to this second stage.
“We’ll only have two work
sites under way at a time, which
means there won’t be several sets
of temporary traffic signals and
work sites close together.
“We are also starting the work
outside of the busy summer
period when there are less
cyclists and recreational users on
the road.”
The work will start at night
from Sunday to Friday. Dyers
Pass Rd will be closed between
7.30pm and 6am from Sunday.
Night works will continue for the
duration of the project, which
is expected to be completed in
December. The large excavators
and concrete pouring work will
be done at night to reduce the
impact on daytime traffic.
Ellis said they will be using
“some smarter traffic signals”
and “electronic travel time signs
at key locations” to help people
decide the best route to take.
However, the work is still
likely to still cause significant
disruption to traffic.
“Our contractor will be doing
their best to minimise the
disruption, but people travelling
on Dyers Pass Rd should factor
an extra 20 minutes into their
travel times and, if possible, use
the Lyttelton Tunnel or Gebbies
Pass rather than Dyers Pass Rd,”
Ellis said.

SEARCH AND rescue tracking
dogs, a drone operator and
concerned residents have joined
forces to scour Barnett Park,
Redcliffs, for Bertie, the golden
retriever who tore off after a
rabbit and never returned.
So far the search of the popular
recreation area has detected no
trace of the amiable seven-anda-half-year-old,
leading owner
Mary McNulty to fear her dog
might have been stolen on June
24, the first day of the Matariki
long weekend.
“This is a well behaved dog who
comes back to a whistle,” she said.
“Certainly she goes rabbiting,
but I’ve never known her to be
gone more than half an hour
chasing a rabbit and then she’s
back. She has never gone missing
before, I just wonder if someone
has picked her up.
“There were lots of people
around, she’s a golden retriever,
so she loves people, especially
children.
“It’s possible she thought
‘there’s some children I’ll go and
talk to them’ but I’d expect her to
come back.”
McNulty was taking Bertie
plus her other golden retrievers
Reg and Clifford for their daily
exercise routine around 10.30am
when a rabbit piqued their
interest.
Bertie and Reg set off in pursuit,
but only the younger dog
returned, prompting a search
until darkness fell.
Over the long weekend search
and rescue dogs and a drone bolstered
the hunt as Reg pined back
home at Moncks Bay.
“He wouldn’t eat for three
days, he was very distressed. He
kept looking for his mum,” said
McNulty, who thanked the community
for their ongoing support.
“I’ve got a friend with tracking
dogs and he took his out as well.
A friend of a friend had a
drone. We’ve had people looking,
and flyers . . . just about everything.

for a walk and looked over the
edges in case she went off a sheer.
Between earthquakes and time
there’s lots of drops and stuff, but
we haven’t found anything.
“There’s been no sightings,
no nothing, that’s why I think
someone’s picked her up,” said
McNulty, who will not give up
the search.
“You’ve got to be hopeful,”
she said.

Goughs Bay residents feel let down
Community
‘deserted’
after
December
deluge
• By Jean Edwards
RESIDENTS IN Banks
Peninsula’s Goughs Bay believe
community leaders deserted
them when they needed urgent
support – following torrential
rain in December.
The event caused widespread
damage, cutting the small
isolated community off after
the only road into the bay was
washed away.
The summer storm caused
chaos for the small community,
and an event inquiry has
acknowledged several areas
of improvement for the city
council in how it responds to
emergencies.
The report said it took about a
week for civil defence to set up
an emergency operations centre
after the deluge.
Local resident Marie Haley
said the community felt let
down.
REPAIR: Good progress is being made on the repair of Goughs Bay Rd.

“We’re still battling this,” she
said.
“We’re still trying to get a
phone line, we’re still trying to
be heard that we need some sort
of cellphone coverage and that’s
part of the fact that their (council)
response was so slow.”
There was no recognition of
how life-threatening the situation
was at the time, she said.
A total of 18 areas of
improvement in council’s
emergency response were
outlined in its report.
Issues around communication
were highlighted, with some
residents describing the response
as appalling.
Sandie Stewart speculated that
some staff may have checked out,
a fortnight out from Christmas.
“Maybe some of the people
who were able to make a difference
chose Christmas lunch
over getting a hold of the phone
company and getting the phones
back up on track,” she said.
“Or sending down a generator
to see if the Wi-Fi was working.”
Not having a direct line to residents
should have sparked red
flags for emergency responders,
she said.
Although there are ongoing
issues with phone coverage in
the bay, residents are happy with
the progress reinstating Goughs
Rd.
Complaints were raised by
locals at a community meeting
in Akaroa in May which fed into
council’s review.
George Masefield hoped the
council had learned some lessons.
“I just hope it’s not put in the
bloody drawer and left and forgotten
about it,” he said.
Deputy Mayor
Andrew Turner
said officials
underestimated
the gravity of the
situation.
“Save for a number
of phone calls,
coming through
to the call centre,
the detail of the
Andrew
Turner
event perhaps wasn’t as apparent
as it might have been,” he said.
He added there remained
ongoing concerns around the
communication infrastructure of
the peninsula.
City council’s civil defence
emergency manager Brenden
Winder said council needed to
be more proactive around communication.
Winder said he acknowledged
the disappointment of residents,
but there were other factors
including resourcing at the time
of the event.
He said improvements have
been made within the unit and
it was looking at how it engages
with communities, in more rural
areas in future.

It takes a special type
of person to work with
children everyday and Lisa is
definitely one of those. Being a
Kindergarten teacher, playing
and educating two to five year
olds, is something that brings
joy to her heart and a smile to
face when she talks about them.
“I love the passion that the
children bring to my job. They
are so uplifting and I just have
such pleasure going in. Each
day is so different, and to watch
them grow and develop is just
something else.”
“The only downside to
working in a kindergarten is the
thrashing that your body takes.
Constantly moving, crouching
down and standing up, leaning
over, picking up children that
have fallen; it certainly is a
workout on all your muscles
and joints.”
Among other things, all this
movement was causing some
severe strain on her body. Lisa
tried to find things to help
her but was told that she was
too young for mainstream
intervention. Everything else
just didn’t quite hit the spot
for her. She felt helpless and
uncertain how she would be
able to continue what she was
doing.
It wasn’t until she sat down
one weekend and was reading
an article just like this one,
that she read a testimony from
someone talking about Koru
Joint. Apart from the testimony
itself, she was intrigued that
something with all natural
products and New Zealand
owned and operated could
potentially be the answer to her
prayers.
Within days of purchasing
Koru Joint, she had begun to
notice the difference and after a
couple of weeks, people around
her started to notice too. She
decided to expand and found
that she could also use Koru FX.
Koru Joint works from the
inside out and is best used
in conjunction with Koru FX
cream, which calms from the
outside in.
Koru Joint is a long lasting
natural formula, harnessing the
proprietary 3 in 1 mechanism
to support soothing, nourishing
and lubrication of healthy
joints.
All 3-phases are required to
build on each other to support
long term healthy joint, muscle
and cartilage function.
“I cannot say enough about
it. I recommend Koru Joint to
people all the time. Why live
in discomfort when there is
a product which is natural,
doesn’t have nasties in it and is
not going to harm my body. You
just have to try it!”
Always read the label and use as directed. If symptoms persist see your healthcare professional. Koru Nutrition Ltd, Christchurch.
Most joint health supplements
only focus on one area of
support. Koru Joint by Koru
Nutrition is different because
it focuses on three areas to
support soothing, nourishing
and lubrication of healthy
joints.
Containing Glucosamine and
Turmeric, tens of thousands of
happy customers are enjoying

When Winter Gardening
A common misconception is
that frosts only occur in the
early morning. However, you
should keep tender plants
safe by using protective
products in the evenings for
low overnight temperatures.
July is the perfect time to
plant your strawberries
here in Canterbury. For
established plants you can
split off runners to create
new plants for continued fruit
production.
If you’re looking to get a head
start on establishing a citrus
tree plant now into a pot, it
will remain warmer than if
planted into the ground. (Still
protect from frost).
Roses go dormant through
winter making it the perfect
time to plant, the risk of
transplant shock is reduced.
Also spraying roses now can
protect and prevent them
from getting fungal diseases.

ACC to pay ex-employee after bullying
• By Amy Williams
IN A first, ACC has been forced
to compensate one of its own
former staffers for the depression
and anxiety she suffered from
being bullied on the job.
The woman was a senior staff
member who took her case to
court and won and now the
agency must provide ongoing
cover for a mental injury that
happened under its watch.
Yvette Phillips moved her
family to Christchurch to take
up her dream job working as a
policy advisor for ACC, but two
years later she faced redundancy
amidst a restructure.
During a meeting in October
2019 to discuss her potential
redeployment, she said her
manager was “confrontational
and aggressive”, and she left the
meeting in tears feeling “ambushed
and blindsided”.
While on stress leave, Phillips
returned to the office in March
2020 to retrieve her laptop and
was publicly humiliated in front
of colleagues when another
staffer accused her of lying and
then stripped her of her laptop.
“It’s extremely painful, honestly.
I suppose that’s the best word for
it. They were very painful experiences
because in fact it’s put an
end to my career,” she said.
“I can hear my voice cracking
now . . . to try and take myself
BULLIED: Yvette Phillips says the painful experiences she
had at ACC during a restructure were so bad these ended
her career.

back there and describe it is
tough. I suppose I’ve kind of
closed that book.”
She was diagnosed with major
depression and post traumatic
stress – and two doctors pointed
out either of the events she experienced
at work could lead to
mental injury in most people.
Knowing ACC’s policy inside
out, she put in a claim for cover
for a work-related mental injury
but it was refused, as was a subsequent
review.
But having worked for the
policy team, she thought her case
was solid and appealed the decision
in the Wellington District
Court.
In his judgment, released in
May, Judge Chris McGuire found
that Phillips had suffered a workrelated
injury.
“The appellant’s accounts of
these two incidents in particular
are detailed and meticulous. I
accept them. The respondent has
offered no counter evidence.”
Phillips said it was difficult to
speak out and pursue her case.
“It’s only because of my knowledge
of ACC, having worked
there for seven years, and my
understanding of the legislation
that I could say to myself: ‘no you
know you’ve got this, you know
the legislation, you know how
this works’,” Phillips said.
“I certainly knew what kind of
injuries can be covered, I know
what kind of injuries can’t be
covered, and I knew that this was
a mental injury that was caused
in the workplace.”
Phillips will receive weekly
payouts after winning the appeal,
and is in the final stages of
confirming the amount.
ACC is the Crown entity
responsible for administering
the country’s no-fault accidental
injury compensation scheme.
It accepted 81 claims for workrelated
mental injuries last year,
but could not easily identify
how many of those related to
workplace bullying.
In a statement its chief people
and culture officer, Michael
Frampton, said as an employer
the organisation has only
received one mental injury claim
for bullying at work but he could
not speak about individual
employee matters.
“It is important that all our
people feel safe and supported
while they are at work. ACC
does not tolerate bullying or
harassment in any form. We
encourage our people to raise
any concerns, and we provide
multiple avenues to do so.”
He said ACC introduced a
new policy earlier this year,
replacing its previous bullying
and harassment policy.
Employment specialist Barbara
Buckett said Yvette Phillips’ case
gave weight to workplace mental
injury claims.
“I’m surprised it’s been so long
coming and I think it’s ironic
that it’s ACC that’s the employer
in this case because it’s clear
that it always fitted, in my view,
within the definitions of the
[Accident Compensation] Act, in
legislation,” she said.
She has had work-related
mental injury claims kicked back
and said that Phillips’s case could
help others in similar situations
seek ongoing cover.
Phillips was glad her situation
could pave the way for others to
get the justice they deserve.
She has recently returned to
the workforce part time.
“It’s been tremendously,
tremendously difficult financially
so now, two years on, to know
that I’ve got cover, and know that
I can access what I need to move
forward is an intense relief.”

• By Chris Barclay
A CANTERBURY harness
racing trainer has been
banned for almost two years
after injecting a horse with a
substance intended to make it
placid hours before it was due to
start at Addington.
Cam Jones began the
21-month ban imposed by the
Racing Integrity Board on June
30. He cannot rejoin the industry
until March 29, 2024.
Jones, who trained at Woodend
Beach, belatedly admitted
injecting Johnny Nevits with
Flexidin, a peanut oil-based
medication usually used to treat
iodine deficiency in sheep and
cattle, on December 10 last year
before transporting the horse to
Addington Raceway.
Harness racing rules stipulate
horses cannot have any substances
administered – by injection
or oral syringe – within a
day of racing.
The maximum penalties are
a $20,000 fine and/or being
disqualified or suspended from
holding a training licence for a
period not exceeding five years.
Jones initially denied injecting
Johnny Nevits when RIB investigators
swooped on his stable
and witnessed him depositing an
item into a wheelie bin.
He claimed it was a vaping
canister but a search of the bin
found a syringe.
Fellow trainer Andrew Fitzgerald
told investigators he saw
Jones holding an empty syringe
but had not seen him injecting
Johnny Nevits.
Once the horse arrived at
the track a RIB vet detected an
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
injection site on Johnny Nevits
jugular vein.
Jones admitted the breach in
April and told a RIB penalty
hearing on June 21 he lied because
he was aware he would
lose his training licence if he
confessed.
When releasing their judgement,
the RIB considered Jones’
offending was further aggravated
by the “deceptive conduct he
engaged in once his actions had
been detected”.
“This showed that he was
clearly aware that his conduct
was in breach of the rules . . .
In his initial interview with an
RIB investigator, he maintained
that he had not injected Johnny
Nevits, and challenged the RIB
to prove that he had.
“This does make Mr Jones’
expression of remorse at the
penalty hearing sound a little
hollow.”
Jones said he injected Johnny
Nevits so the gelding was not
a “hot sweaty mess” before it
raced.
Flexadin is not a banned
substance but the RIB decision
said an informant “contended
that the only viable reason for
administering a substance to a
horse by hypodermic syringe,
on race-day and shortly before a
race, was to obtain some form of
benefit”.
Jones said Johnny Nevits
received a dose early in the week
it was due to race but staff had
neglected to administer it in his
absence.
When he returned to the stable
after the birth of his child he
decided to inject Johnny Nevits
about 2-½ hours before it was

Jones gets 21-month ban for injecting horse
BREACH: Harness racing trainer Cam Jones has been
banned from the sport for almost two years after injecting
a horse shortly before it was to race at Addington.
Thursday July 7 2022 The Star
due to race but insisted he was
“not trying to get an edge”.
However, the adjudicators
decided Jones administered a
substance to benefit the horse on
race day – in this instance, “to
enable the horse to settle during
its race, and give of its best”.
Johnny Nevits was scratched
from the race and subsequently
retired due to a tendon injury
and rehomed through the Canterbury-based
Stable to Stirrup
programme.
It was also one of two horses
injected by disgraced Woodend
Beach harness racing trainer
Jesse Alford.
Alford was banned for seven
years in May 2021 after he was
caught injecting Johnny Nevits
and Jimmy Cannon with formalin,
a banned substance used
to control bleeding, two hours
before they were due to race
at Addington Raceway three
months earlier.
A junior driver, who started
training in September 2020,
Jones has recorded 16 winners
and 15 placings from 68 starts,
earning $111,958 in stake money.
He usually had between 6-8
horses in his team and wound
down his operation aware a ban
was imminent.
The solitary horse under his
care was moved within 24 hours
of the penalty being imposed.

‘The public will blame us, not the
USED CAR dealers say some
customers expecting a clean car
rebate are getting hit with a fee
instead – because official data is
changing even as the vehicle is
being sold.
The Clean Car Discount
scheme is having to alter wrong
or missing emissions or safetyrating
data as it goes along.
Christchurch car dealer Peter
Cullen has a dozen virtually
identical Mazdas Azelas on his
lot at Value Cars Warehouse,
which he had marked up as
having rebates.
But last week, when he
went to print out a window
sticker for the latest Azela, the
official Rightcar site produced
something else.
“It’s actually a fee now, it’s
changed midstream.
“Then I’ve subsequently gone
and checked all the previous
models.
“We’ve already marked them
up as rebates, which they were,
and now it appears they’re all
fees.”
The fee is $470 and the rebate
about $500.
Because Cullen is convinced
the new data is wrong and the
cars should get a rebate, he is
reluctant to change the window
stickers – even though that
might force him to pay the
difference for the customer.
CONCERNED: Christchurch car dealers Martin Harcourt (left) and Peter Cullen. Cullen is
convinced some of the Clean Car Discount scheme data is wrong.

“I know it’s not a fee car. But
how we prove that? I don’t know.
The public will blame us, not the
government.”
He also had cars with chassis
numbers one car apart, where
one had no fee, and the other a
fee.
The agency’s response was
“fluffy”, simply saying the data
had changed, he said.
“The government is forcing us
to mislead the public,” he said.
Several other dealers said they
had problems with a popular
Honda hatchback where the
safety rating was shifting: some
at three stars got a rebate, others
at two stars did not, they said.
Documents released under the
Official Information Act show
transport authorities knew they
had poor data for determining a
rebate or a fee heading into the
scheme’s launch in April.
A Ministry of Transport report
about CO2 emissions data for
used cars, the way emissions are
tested, and fuel consumption
says: “Nothing reliable for used
vehicles until June 2019 – high
non-compliance since then
as well.”
Waka Kotahi New Zealand
Transport Agency said it ran
regular updates from January to
April to clean up this data, and
that has carried on since.
Internal emails released in
30 files under the OIA say
the agency is dealing with
“incorrect” motor vehicle
registration data that requires a
“workaround”.
These show major Japanese
car importer Nichibo called the
system “a minefield”.
“Work continues to correct,
with a cycle of 2-3 data updates
each week, to continually
improve the underlying data,”
Waka Kotahi’s programme
director emailed on April 8,
seven days after launch.
During just one such update,
on April 6, the records for more
298 vehicles were fixed and 830
were rejected.
Waka Kotahi insisted the
responsibility for providing
accurate data sits with the vehicle
importer.
Its service was “not the only, or
even the preferred data source”,
it said. Waka Kotahi and the
Ministry of Transport had
worked since 2019 to improve
the rules on data, it said.
The OIA emails show about
30 dealers asking the agency
to urgently fix data in the week
after the launch.

“Errors are now being shown
on Toyota NZ and store advertising,
misleading the public
and creating reputational risk,”
Toyota NZ said on April 8.
Toyota said last week “there
are no lingering data problems”.
Several other dealers
agreed but others said problems
persisted, with one saying
hybrids and plug-in hybrids
were worst. Some are paying
$300 per car to get guaranteed
emissions data on European
used imports.
The emails show Waka
Kotahi was keen in April to tell
the media the problems were
minor, bedding-in ones, even
though it was not sure about
the scale of them. “We are still
having difficulty getting figures
we are confident about,”
a communications staffer said
on April 8 while preparing a
report back to the Transport
Minister, following media
queries.
After RNZ reported the
industry was saying thousands
of cars could be affected, the
communications team said:
“If we can convincingly pour
cold water on that, it would be
good.”
Around the same time,
a senior manager said “the
information required is hard
to come by”. Another said
FIX: The Clean Car Discount scheme is having to alter
wrong or missing emissions or safety-rating data.
PHOTO: MARIKA KHABAZI/RNZ
that overall there was a “very
low number” of problems, but
added: “Given we have more
cases than we are expecting,
there is a spike, and we are
working through each one as
quickly as possible.”
The Ministry of Transport
asked Waka Kotahi about
a gap where “hundreds of
models” of late model Japanese
used imports appeared to lack
the right identifiers.
“Without these being loaded
in, it means that the wrong
CO2 value will be assigned
on many used import where
manufactured from 2018, and
probably all used imports
manufactured from early
2021,” the ministry official
said. “It may also reduce
consumers’ ability to discover
the full set of low emission car
options.”
The agency’s top adviser on
clean cars Iain McGlinchy responded:
“It’s difficult to work
out from the emails what scale
of problem is. There seem to be
more questions than answers
at present.”
He also urged his team to
fix a separate problem, the
scheme was putting a full fee
on cars that lacked emissions
data. “It is important to find
out why the system seems to
be skipping the other steps,”
McGlinchy said on April 7.
On April 27, the agency told
RNZ there were no “system
issues” and that a total of 145
vehicles had had their emissions
data queried.
The OIA emails contain an
estimate five percent of used
cars were affected, and speak
of the team being “donkey
deep fixing the issue”.
Waka Kotahi in a statement
said it was car dealers’ responsibility
to review emissions
data by querying it with the
certifier of a vehicle when it is
imported or generating a label
in Fuelsaver.
The agency was following
the guidelines for when CO2
data was lacking, which could
be because certifiers had keyed
it in wrongly or the vehicle was
not yet certified.
Dealers had to be as specific
as possible to find the right
data on Rightcar, such as using
a chassis number.
The agency did not comment
on how good its own data is
now, and did not say if it had
addressed the problem of its
system “skipping” steps and
defaulting to a full fee when
there was no data about a car.

Immediate
sentencing
for sex
offender
• By David Clarkson
CONCERNS ABOUT the safety
in prison of one of New Zealand’s
worst sex offenders has led to him
being sentenced immediately
after he admitted breaching his
extended supervision conditions.
Lloyd Alexander McIntosh, 49,
waived his right to a pre-sentence
report so that Christchurch
District Court Judge Stephen
O’Driscoll could jail him straight
away.
Defence counsel Andrew Bailey
said the sentencing would remove
McIntosh from the remand wing
at prison where he has been held
since his arrest on May 23.
“He will be in a safer environment
once he is sentenced,” said
Bailey.
McIntosh, appearing in court
by video-link from the prison,
pleaded guilty to charges of
breaching his extended supervision
order and failing to comply
with his reporting obligations.
The charges involve restrictions
on his access to internet-capable
devices.
Judge O’Driscoll imposed
concurrent six-month jail terms.
• By David Clarkson
A WOMAN serving life for
murder caused $18,370 damage
when she got on to the roof of
Christchurch Women’s Prison,
and began smashing everything
with a metal bar.
Katrina Epiha, 24, will not
have to pay for the damage she
caused because she is serving
a life term; district court Judge
Mark Callaghan made no reparation
order.
Instead, he imposed a ninemonth
concurrent jail term,
which was the only option available.
It will not extend her life
sentence, unless the Parole Board
takes her behaviour into account
when it eventually considers her
for release.
Epiha was sentenced in 2019
to life imprisonment with a nonparole
term of 10 years for stabbing
Alicia Maree Nathan, 32, to
death at a party in August 2017,
after a dispute over loud music.
She escaped from custody
during a visit to Middlemore
Hospital in 2020 and was on the
run in Auckland for about two
weeks. Epiha had escaped to attend
a cousin’s tangi, after being
denied compassionate leave.
Since the incident at Christchurch
Women’s Prison on
February 11, 2022, Epiha has
been transferred to Auckland

She pleaded guilty to the
charge of intentional damage.
Defence counsel Emma Nicol
said the incident happened when
she had just finished 14 days in
one unit and expected to return
to her original unit, but was told
that was not going to happen for
another two weeks.
She said Epiha was pleading
guilty because she knew she had
done wrong and did not want to
“drag out” the court process.
Judge Callaghan said Epiha
had barricaded herself in an area

She then got onto the roof of

roofing material. The total damage

Judge Callaghan said Epiha
had waived the right to a presentence

could be sentenced immediately,

the High Court judge at her
murder sentencing about her
“unfortunate background”,

EIGHT Cantabrians who raised
more than $100,000 for charity
have been rewarded with a
starring role in TV travel show
Adventure All Stars.
The show sees the cast journey
around the country, taking part
in activities such as kayaking,
biking, swimming with dolphins,
winery tours, and flights
in vintage planes.
Adventure All Stars has filmed
multiple series in Australia, airing
on the Seven Network there
in 2019 and on TVNZ in 2020.
Participants headed up to
Marlborough for a week of filming
for the third season, which
will air in 2023.
They were joined by TV
presenter and influencer Erin
Simpson, who will be a guest
cast member.
In order to score a spot on the
show, each person had to raise
$10,000 for organisations Home
and Family and Keep New Zealand
Beautiful.
Business owner David Boot,
of Merivale, admitted he wasn’t
really sure what he was signing
himself up for when he agreed to
raise $10,000 for charity.
“I didn’t really understand
what was going on before I was
asked to raise the money,” he
said.
“Once I did understand I
wouldn’t say I was so much excited
as a little bit nervous as to
how I come across on camera.”
Boot raised $10,700 for Home
and Family.
He said each day’s adventure
was a surprise for the cast.
“I wouldn’t say I stepped out of
my comfort zone, but certainly
enjoyed things that I otherwise
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
wouldn’t ventured to or looked at
doing myself.
“It’s a good show to showcase
– especially coming out of Covid
– some of the tourism operators
that we engage with.”
The second season of the show
is slated to air later this year in
both countries and generated
close to $1.2 million for charity,
making Adventure All Stars one
of the biggest contributors to
philanthropy of any TV show in
the Southern Hemisphere.

LETTERS/OPINION
IT WAS pleasing to see Kris
Faafoi leave politics. However,
who is now going to clean up his
mess?
His tax and regulations on rental
property owners is reducing supply
and has raised rents on an average
of $150 per week.
His budgeted figure of $325
million to amalgamate state
television and radio has been
jumped on by Willie Jackson
stating he will enhance Maori
broadcasting.
This is a gross waste of money
when we have so many people
needing help at the moment.
I can’t think of any other reason
for spending this money on the
media but for political gain.
We do not need the state
involved in the news media.
It would be better if sold off. –

Plant more tree on our streets

McLeod, Avonhead
New Zealand’s CO2 shortage
seems ironical as some claim we
have too much CO2.
CO2 is used widely in the food
industry from persevering meat,
putting the fizz in beverages and
is pumped into greenhouses to
help plants grow.
Marsden Point captured a significant
amount of CO2 that was
used in our food industry that
now has to be sourced elsewhere
at a higher cost.
It also produced high quality
bitumen and refined 70-80 per
cent of our fuel to our specific
needs, sometimes even re-refining
fuel coming from other
countries that was of low quality.
Why didn’t the Government
buy this strategic asset? Where
were the so called opposition
parties on this matter?
If someone wanted to bring
us to our knees all they need to
do is stop the supply of diesel to
our country. This would stop the
production and distribution of
food around the country.
Much damage has been done
but it’s not too late to save

I AM LEADING a delegation to
Adelaide on Sunday in recognition
of the 50th anniversary
of the Christchurch/ Adelaide
sister city relationship. This is
the first Christchurch sister city
relationship to reach a golden
jubilee.
The Lord Mayor of Adelaide,
Sandy Verschoor, has organised
a civic reception and we will
sign a Recommitment Pledge
to mark the 50th anniversary.
It reflects on five decades of
mutual exchange, collaboration,
celebration, and solidarity and
looks forward to an ongoing exchange
of ideas and information,
arts and culture, trade, travel,
education, and sport, which will
continue to benefit both cities in
the years of friendship to come.
To demonstrate this commitment,
we have members
of the delegation that reflect
the relationship, including the
Children’s University, which has
been a joy to see happen here.
The University of Canterbury
will use this visit as an opportunity
to strengthen ties with the
Mayor
Lianne Dalziel
Adelaide visit will strengthen
sister city relationship
University of Adelaide.
The lord mayor and I will witness
the signing of an memorandum
of understanding between
our two. This is a first step
towards getting direct flights,
which would be hugely beneficial
to both cities.
Another feature of the
visit involves connecting
representatives of our
aerospace industry with the
Australian Space Agency
& Space Discovery Centre
which is based in Adelaide,
and there are also meetings
connecting ChristchurchNZ
with the Adelaide Economic
Development Agency and Lot 14
Innovation Precinct.
Sister city relationships are
first and foremost peopleto-people
relationships. The
volunteers that form committees
on both sides of the Tasman
are the foundation stone of the
relationship. So, it’s a big thank
you to them for 50 years of
making that happen.
P.S. I’m paying my own way, in
case you hadn’t heard.

1 in 2 people
deficient in B12
Emerging research has shown as many
as 50% of older adults and as many as
25% of younger adults are deficient in
vitamin B12. Scientists at Rush University
medical center found those most deficient
in vitamin B12 to have the smallest
brain mass and the lowest scores on
tests measuring short-term memory,
concentration and brain performance.
Another study showed that older people
with higher levels of B12 in their blood
have bigger, healthier brains and score
higher on cognitive tests than those with
lower levels. Yet another recent landmark
study showed that B12 supplementation
slows the accelerated rate of brain
shrinkage and declining cognitive
function. B12 is essential for energy
production, cell health, regulation of
mood and sleep cycles, nerve health and
repair, and prevention of homocysteine
a serious cardiovascular risk factor that
is known to cause damage and plaque
in the blood vessels. It can also
increase the chances
of a stroke. Harvard
researchers found a
34% decrease risk of
vision loss in a study of
participants aged 40+
who supplemented with
B12. Another study linked a higher risk of
hearing loss in subjects in their 60’s who
were low in B12.
The reason so many people lack B12
appears to be our body’s ability to absorb
it declining with age as the digestive
system becomes less efficient. Anti-reflux
medication and other drugs further
reduce B12 absorption. The good news
is B12 in the form of methylcobalamin
sublingual tablets that are dissolved in the
mouth and thru bypassing the digestive
tract have been shown to effectively raise
B12 levels in the body.

A Leader in Healthcare Excellence
for the Older Person
Up to 1 in 2 people may have a shrinking
brain due to a lack of vitamin B12.
Supplementation of methylcobalamin B12
has been shown to reduce the rate of
brain shrinkage & support memory & brain
function. B12 is also known to protect against
homocysteine a serious cardiovascular risk
factor that can also damage the hearing,

SPORT
• By Chris Barclay
STEPHANIE Broomhall retired
as a World Cup winner in 2006,
but the former Black Ferns
international was always keen
to maintain a commitment to
rugby.
A desire to coach her boys
from grassroots level at
Prebbleton and then during
their schooling at St Thomas
of Canterbury College has now
culminated in the 40-year-old
joining the team where she came
to prominence on the wing.
Broomhall is among a newlook
management team for the
Canterbury’s Farah Palmer Cup
campaign, she sustains a female
connection following Whitney
Hansen’s promotion to the
Black Ferns and Melissa Ruscoe
standing down after a five-year
stint.
An assistant focusing on her
specialist position, the outside
backs, Broomhall had her first
camp with a squad tasked with
regaining the provincial crown
from Waikato in Hanmer
Springs last weekend.
Broomhall attended sessions
with the wider training group
earlier this season and although
she never had aspirations to
coach above junior level, head
coach Blair Baxter’s offer was too
enticing to refuse.
“I jumped in there and I was
absolutely blown away, which I
knew I would, by the talent, the
progression that’s been going
on since I last played. I’ll be
learning as well, the players will
be teaching me,” said Broomhall,
who retired when she was just
24.
Scoring a try in the 25-17
World Cup final win over England
in Edmonton, Canada - and
setting up the decisive score for
Amira Marsh proved the ideal
sign off as motherhood took
precedence.
However, the 12-test international
returned to the code when
son Ben was ready for Rippa
rugby as a four-year-old.
“It’s an area (coaching) where
I can give back, that’s all it was
and I really enjoy working to
develop players,” said Broomhall,
who has coached at the Prebbleton
club for 11 years.
This season she was a technical
adviser to the under-17 girls
squad and senior women’s team,
which returned to the field after
a 21-year absence.
Broomhall also assists St
Thomas’ under-15 squad, which
includes Ben.
She also coached another son,
Beau, from aged three to 12.
Husband Andy – the brother of
former All Black loose forward
Sam – looks after their nineyear-old
daughter Fern’s team at
Prebbleton.
Unlike her children, Broomhall
was a late developer as a
rugby player with harriers running,
athletics and then netball
the priority until she was 16.
A stress fracture in her back, a
consequence of jumping up and
down netball courts, led mum to
suggest rugby – a wise move.
“Mum had a way of identifying
what you’d be good at. When
I played rugby with the boys
(in Blenheim) she said they’d
complain to the teachers because
I could catch them,” said Broomhall,
who was selected for the
Canterbury secondary school
team while boarding at Rangi
Ruru Girls’ School.

“The freedom I had on the rugby
field, just to be physical and
express myself . . . I never looked
back,” she said.
Broomhall joined the
Christchurch Football Club and
made her Canterbury debut
in 1999, the same season the
18-year-old was selected to trial
for the Black Ferns.
She had to wait until the World
XV series in 2003 to play a test,
though earlier that year Broomhall
was a tactical inclusion in
the Aotearoa Maori team for the

Broomhall, who was judged
New Zealand women’s player of

a tournament she attended three
times.

my late teens, early 20s and I was
just taking every opportunity I
could to play the sport I love,”
she said.
“Those opportunities with
that team were unreal, things I’ll
never forget.”
A primary school trained
teacher, Broomhall combines her
sporting commitments with a
coveted role as an early intervention
educator at The Champion
Centre, a facility for infants and
young children with significant
disabilities based at Burwood
Hospital.
“It’s a special place. I was just
finishing my teaching at playcentre
and the ad popped up, it was
like a little goldmine in that little
spot,” she said.
And now there is a new learning
experience to embrace at
Rugby Park.
“The support, the quality
of coaching (Canterbury), the
resources on offer since I played
at that level have increased exponentially,”
she said.
“We didn’t get that sort of
coaching until we were at Black
Ferns level. It’s really exciting.”

Perfect Chch United campaign dashed
• By Chris Barclay
FERRYMEAD BAYS’ unbeaten
run in the Southern League
has extended to six matches
after they ended Christchurch’s
United’s quest for a perfect
campaign with an anything but
dour 0-0 stalemate.
Christchurch United were
seeking their 12th consecutive
league victory but although they
peppered the Ferrymead Bays
goal, shot stopper Coey Turipa
thwarted the title favourites with
a string of impressive saves in the
round opener.
Ferrymead Bays entered
the contest with the third best
defence behind Christchurch
United and Cashmere Technical
and maintained that status
through Turipa’s heroics.
Turipa was busy on Friday
night, as he made sharp saves
to deny Mike Rabuka, Eddie
Wilkinson and Jago Godden.
Christchurch United were
missing key attacking weapon
Daniel Maclennan, who was suspended
after being red-carded
in the previous round against
Dunedin City Royals, and his
accuracy was missed as the hosts
struggled to break down the opponent
which knocked them out
of the Chatham Cup last month.
Player-coach Paul Ifill joined
the fray in the 80th-minute but
the former Wellington Phoenix
favourite could not break the
deadlock.
However, resolute defence
could not prevent Ferrymead
Bays dropping to fourth on the
standings as Nelson Suburbs’
4-2 victory at Mosgiel saw them
jump a place.
Cashmere Technical bridged
the gap to Christchurch United
to three points with a 9-1 thrashing
of Nomads United – Garbhan
Coughlan spearheaded the
rout with five goals.

with six rounds remaining
Christchurch United and Cashmere

Selwyn United returned to the
foot of the table as they were hurdled
by Green Island, who won

beat Dunedin City Royals 1-0.
The Chatham Cup’s fourth

preliminary finals.
Perennial title threat Lincoln
University had Sydenham’s
measure last month, winning
37-20, and they recorded a
similar winning margin, 34-17
in a dominant qualifying final
display.
New Brighton, a club with
plenty to celebrate after a tough
centenary season in 2021, edged
Marist Albion 27-22 in the other
contest offering a lifeline to the
loser.
Linwood survived thanks to a
dramatic 32-31 cliffhanger over
Shirley, who drop to the Plate
format.
Shirley are joined by Christchurch,
demoted after a 38-10 loss
to HSOB, with Sumner and University
of Canterbury making up
the second-tier semi-finalists.
Burnside have a final opportunity
to record their first win off
a difficult campaign when they

the winner avoids the dreaded
wooden spoon.

defence reaches a critical juncture
on Saturday when they

With unbeaten Linwood and
Halswell already assured of

resurgent Eastern Eagles also on
track, only one berth appears
available with three rounds of
the regular season remaining.
The fifth-placed Panthers
face a must-win clash with the

the Bulldogs finish off with the

Get the most out of your tank of fuel
EVEN AMIDST a relentless tidal
surge of sport utility vehicles, I’m
pleased to report there is still room
in our market for the traditional
small hatchback.
What’s more, you don’t have to
pay a lot of money for it, Suzuki
has been doing it well for as long as
I can remember with the Swift, and
Toyota’s Yaris and Honda’s Jazz are
all still around.
The latter have slowly crept up
in price over the years and now
the company accountants for
those brands must be looking at
sharpening their pencils for there’s
a new benchmark for buyers who
are wanting into that part of the
market.
Enter the MG3, a 1.5-litre fivedoor
that epitomises everything
small hatchbacks represent. It lands
here in base-model form at $19,490
as tested. It is labelled Core, if you
spend an extra $2k, that will buy
you into the Excite. What’s more,
these prices are driveaway, on road
costs are included, there’s also the
inclusion of a seven-year warranty,
roadside assistance and warrant of
fitness checks.
To me that is great value, and it’s
easy to see why MG is making a
mark in Christchurch, there are a
lot of them around and the range is
quite vast along with a wide variety
of colours. The evaluation car was
SQUAT: The MG3 imparts a sporty look.
painted a vivid red and it received
favourable comment.
MG is a company that needs little
introduction; sure, it has lost most
of its old English heritage, but the
Shanghai Automotive Industry
Corporation, the Chinese company
that now owns the brand, has been
loyal to MG’s past, the product is
well built and exciting, which I
guess is why the name Excite is part
of the MG3’s image.
The MG3 is short at just under
4m, but it has a cheeky look and its
squat rear end promotes a sporty
appearance.
It is also well equipped for its
price. Major items include central
display screen, digitally controlled
air conditioning, cruise control,
electric windows all round, electric
mirror adjustment and trip
computer. For safety there’s a host
of kit including stability control,
corner brake control, emergency
brake assist, reversing camera, no
fewer than six air bags and ISOFIX
child seat mounts.
That’s not a bad package for a
car around $20k and one which
will win favour amongst those who
want a small hatchback but have a
limited budget.
The fabric-trimmed Core
specification model would be the
one I want, the Excite will give you
quasi leather, bigger wheels and a
few other goodies, but I like base
MG3 CORE: At $19,490 it is a bargain price for a new car.
specification models and the Core
really wants for little.
Under the bonnet sits a 1498cc,
four-cylinder petrol engine. There
are no surprises here but for the
fact it is quiet and well-engineered
for performance and fuel thrift.
MG claims power outputs of
82kW and 150Nm. They are
realised a little towards the top end
at 6000rpm and 4500rpm, but that
means it is a happy engine that
will work freely through the rev
band, and given the total weight of
the car is still well under 1-tonne
then the strength of the engine
low down isn’t significant. The
MG3 will accelerate to 100km/h
in 11.5sec, and if you are held up
by a slower car on the highway, it
will complete an overtake in 8.2sec
(80-120km/h).
More important, is the fuel usage
equation, MG claims a combined
cycle average of 6.7-litres per
100km. During a week in my care
the MG3 returned some thrifty fuel
usage figures such as a 7.8l/100km
combined cycle average along with
a 5.1l/100km figure sitting at a
100km/h cruise.
Drive is transferred to the front
wheels through a four-speed
automatic transmission. It’s fair to
say that even with just four gears
it is a sweet shifting gearbox and
the ratios are well structured to
extract maximum energy from the
• Price – MG3 Core, $19,490

• Configuration – Fourcylinder,

150Nm, four-speed
automatic
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 11.5sec
• Fuel usage – 6.7l/100km
engine. Top gear moderates engine
speed quite nicely, the engine ticks
over freely but not too quickly at
open road speed, the rev counter
pointing to 2500rpm at 100km/h.
It must be said, too, the MG3
travels at open road speed quietly.
There are few wind gushes, and
sound off the 15in tyres is kept
to a minimum – soundproofing
throughout the vehicle is in
abundance.
One of the advantages of high
profile tyres is the associated
ride quality and that is spread
throughout the interior. Even
though the rear suspension is a
simplistic tube/torsion beam
type, there is smooth absorption,
bumps and lumps are arrested well
even though the rear spring and
damper rates are a little on the firm
side.
I took the evaluation car on my
normal highway run west towards
the alps. It covers ground without
fuss, a strong nor’wester was
blowing as I headed towards inland
and was buffeting the side of the
car but it felt stable and tight on the
road, corrections to the steering
were only marginal.
There are a couple of inland
corners I really like, so I pointed
the MG3 at them quite quickly
and the first impressions of
turn-in are that of accuracy and
composure.
Driving the wee MG3 is relaxing
and somewhat rewarding, I was
somewhat reluctant to take it back
to the dealership, as a driver you
very quickly become one with
the car. If you take into account
the original outlay you get good
value motoring and transport
which won’t tax the wallet at fill-up
time, and if you are worried about
ballooning fuel prices, the MG3
performs happily on 91 octane.
An acquaintance of mine is an
MG aficionado, there are several
in his driveway amidst a raft of
other English classics. For as
long as I have known him he has
driven nothing else other than
English cars – up until now, I
see an MG3 has pride of place in
the driveway, that must be some
recommendation for the modern
age of MG.

What to ask a real estate agent
Selling a home is a big life decision, both
financially and emotionally. The journey
can be a roller coaster, which is why
finding a licensed real estate agent you feel
comfortable with is so important.
“Remember, you’re looking for the
person who you’re going to trust to sell
what’s likely to be your biggest asset. Their
success (or failure) will have a marked
impact on your new life plan,” says the Real
Estate Authority (REA).
New Zealand has about 15,000 real estate
agents who help people navigate big-deal
transactions every day.
“The trick is to find the one that will be
best for your situation,” he says.
You need someone who understands
what it takes to sell a property like yours
and a proven track record to show for it.
You also need to feel comfortable with
them personally – if you don’t find them
pleasant to deal with then buyers may not
enjoy the experience either.
If you’re not sure how to get the ball
rolling, ask the agent the following
questions:
- What do you know about my
neighbourhood? How are sales in this area
and who is buying?
- Do you work independently or with
other agents?
- What kind of advertising or marketing
do you use – and which ones will work for
my property? What extra marketing costs
will I have to pay?
- What are your commission rates? Are
you open to negotiation?
- Do you have testimonials or references
from people whose properties you have
sold in the last three months?
throughout - What do you Christchurch
recommend I do to
prepare my home for sale?
- Why should I hire you?
Asking these questions helps you

form a picture of the agent’s experience,
knowledge and how they structure their
business.
Remember that you can negotiate on the
marketing costs and commission – don’t be
afraid to ask the agents if they are interested
in an incentive-based commission, where
they will earn more commission if they sell
your property above a certain price.
Once you’ve found the agent you think
you’d like to work with, check them out
on the Real Estate Authority’s (REA)
online public register, which will tell you
if the agent holds a current licence. This is
important because it’s illegal to carry out
real estate agency work without a licence
and if you deal with an unlicensed person
the REA will be unable to help you if things
go wrong.
When you’ve decided on an agent, the
terms and conditions of your contract will
be set out in an agency agreement that
you both sign. This is a legal document,
so make sure you get advice from a lawyer
and that you understand your rights and
responsibilities.

guidance on buying or selling property,
