One of the worst serial

rapists

and

burglars

dead

PHOTOS: STAR ARCHIVES,

GETTY

• By Barry Clarke

ONE OF Christchurch’s worst

serial rapists and burglars has

died. Some of his victims just

wish he had never been born.

Lawrence Te-Iwi-Toa Kanohi

was in his late 70s when he

died earlier this month. He was

paroled from prison several

months ago to a secure medical

care facility on the outskirts

of the city, suffering from

dementia. He had served nearly

30 years in jail for his reign of

terror in the early 90s.

He affected literally hundreds

of people in Christchurch –

from the women he raped and

the effect it had on their families,

to the people whose homes

he broke into and the lasting

fear it instilled in them.

Police connected Kanohi to

nearly 120 burglaries when he

was arrested, but they are sure

there were more. He would steal

cash, jewellery, music cassette

tapes, electronic equipment

women’s underwear – and photos

of females who lived there,

where he would put cartoon

bubbles on them with comments

like “sex is my thing”,

“you turn me on” and “would

you like to try”.

The burglaries were committed

between 1983 and 1992,

mainly in the Shirley, St Albans,

Edgeware and Riccarton areas.

Kanohi was sentenced to

preventative detention – an

indefinite jail sentence – for two

rapes and an attempted rape in

Shirley and St Albans in 1992.

He had spent time in jail in the

mid-60s for a rape in the North

Island, and another attack in St

Martins in 1972 when he blindfolded

and trussed up a 62-yearold

in her home. The woman’s

daughter told The Star this week

her mother had later confided

in a relative she had been raped,

but would not say it at the time.

Sure to Rise inventor’s cottage sells for $520K

AM host Oliver-Kirby

‘making great progress’

THE AM show on TV3 has

given an update on presenter

Bernadine Oliver-Kerby’s health

battle.

Last year the popular television

presenter took extended

leave from the AM show as it

was revealed she was suffering

from Bell’s palsy, a condition

which causes facial paralysis.

According to Newshub, Oliver-

Kerby has since been diagnosed

with Ramsay Hunt syndrome,

which displays similar symptoms

to Bell’s palsy.

Oliver-Kerby’s co-hosts shared

an update on their colleague’s

condition.

Ryan Bridge told viewers:

“She’s making great progress.

She is missing you all, she sent

us a text to say that, but she also

has a little more resting to do.”

And Melissa Chan-Green

added: “We’re really looking

forward to having Bern back

with us soon.”

Last week a Discovery Warner

Bros. spokesperson said Oliver-

Kerby, from Canterbury, was

still recovering from the condition

which struck her in October,

with treatment at Auckland

Hospital.

“Bernadine is still taking

time to recover,” the spokesperson

said.

Last year, following a noticeable

period of absence, Oliver-

Kerby’s co-hosts revealed what

had happened.

“You may have noticed that

our lovely Bernadine has been

absent from the show for a while

now. Bern is going to be taking

an extended period of sick leave

after experiencing facial paralysis

on one side of her face due to

Bell’s palsy,” said Chan-Green of

the condition that affects two to

three people per 10,000.

Bridge continued: “Bernadine

can’t wait to reunite with the

team, with us and with you at

home, the AM viewers and with

the rest of the recovery now her

main priority.”

Bridge also noted that Oliver-

DIAGNOSED: Bernadine

Oliver-Kirby has been

diagnosed with Ramsay

Hunt syndrome since

taking extended leave

from the AM show last

year.

INSTAGRAM

Kerby was extremely grateful to

the staff at Auckland Hospital

who “took such great care of her”.

“Bern, we love you, you know

we do. You’re an incredible

presence on this programme.

We love your wit, we love your

humour, we miss you. We look

forward to seeing you back as

soon as you can,” he said.

What is Ramsay Hunt

syndrome?

Made famous after

pop star Justin Bieber

was diagnosed with

the condition, Ramsay

Hunt syndrome is a

complication of the

shingles virus.

Often signalled by a

painful rash around the

ear, mouth or on the

face, it occurs when the

virus affects a particular

nerve in the head and

causes facial weakness or

paralysis.

The condition can take

weeks and sometimes

months to clear.

Meanwhile, Bell’s palsy,

also known as facial palsy,

is the sudden onset of

paralysis of one of the

facial nerves.

Southern Cross NZ

describes the symptoms

as being “muscle

weakness on one side of

the face, causing the face

to droop”.

“Bell’s palsy can affect

anyone. Its annual

incidence is two to three

people per 10,000 of

the population, and this

is thought to be similar

across all ethnic groups

and between men and

women. Pregnant women

and people with diabetes

have an increased risk.”

If you think you might

be suffering from Bell’s

palsy you should urgently

seek help from your

healthcare provider.

Don’t let $16.8m plant

upgrade go to waste

THE CITY council is reminding

residents to continue to recycling

correctly following a $16.8

million upgrade of the city’s

recycling facility.

EcoCentral has overhauled

its Materials Recovery Facility

in Parkhouse Rd, Sockburn,

using a $16.8 million grant it

received from the Ministry for

the Environment’s special

Covid-19 Response and

Recovery Fund.

It has installed new

equipment, including

eight optical sorters, two

ballistic screens, four

bounce conveyors and an

eddy current separator.

The upgrade provides the

facility, where Christchurch’s

recycling gets sorted and

prepared for sale, with greater

ability to sort plastics, paper and

cardboard.

“Updating the technology

means the plant will be able to

sort paper and plastics to a

higher standard where we

Craig

Downie

can meet 0.5 per cent

contamination threshold. This

means we will be able to sell to

international markets easier,’’

says EcoCentral chief executive

Craig Downie.

“However we will only be

able to do this if we continue to

receive high quality recycling

– this means everyone putting

the right items in the right

bins. If wrong items go

into the yellow bin it can

contaminate the recycling,

meaning we may be unable

to sell the material.

In Christchurch only

clean cardboard, paper, tin

and aluminium cans, glass

bottles and jars rigid plastic

bottles and containers

marked with the numbers 1, 2 or

5 should go in the yellow wheelie

bin for recycling.

Residents will have the

opportunity to view the

upgraded facility at the Materials

Recovery Facility public open day

on February 18, 9am-1pm.


Two injured in house fire

• By Nathan Morton

TWO PEOPLE were injured in a

house fire in Spreydon.

Multiple fire crews from the

Christchurch Central, Wigram

and Spreydon stations were

called to the blaze on Bayley Pl

shortly after 11pm on Tuesday.

Shift manager Jill Higgison

said the house was well alight

when firefighters arrived.

An ambulance was called to

the scene to treat a person who

had been burned.

Sarah McElroy, who lives

on the corner of Bayley Pl and

Neville St, said she woke up

around 9.30pm to the sound of

sirens nearby.

“I thought it sounded quite

close, but I didn’t think much of

it at first,” she said.

“I figured it might be someone

getting pulled over, then I heard

another siren and thought it

sounded very close – that’s when

I ran to my mum’s room and

saw these lights coming through

the curtain.

“I thought: ‘Oh no, this doesn’t

seem right’.”

After running outside,

McElroy spotted orange smoke

coming down the street.

“I yelled ‘fire’ to my mum, we

grabbed the key to our gate and

ran down the street.”

McElroy said the street was

littered with police, ambulances

and fire engines.

McElroy said the property

GUTTED: It took firefighters about two hours to tackle the

house fire on Bayley Pl.

PHOTO: NZME

belonged to a man who had been

a good friend over the years. She

said he was a “lovely man” who

often walked past their house

with his dog.

“We started speaking to

him and slowly became good

friends,” she said.

“He actually helped us put a

wire up to stop my dog from

escaping through our hedge, so

a really lovely guy.”

McElroy spotted the man

sitting on the ground, holding

his dog and clearly in shock. She

approached him and checked

to make sure he was alright,

noticing he was holding a gauze

pad to the back of his head.

“My mum said he needed a

blanket, so I got a blanket and

wrapped it around him. He

thanked me and told me he’d

bring it back to me, but I said he

should keep it.”

Looking towards the property,

McElroy saw the front of

the property was completely

engulfed by flames.

“I was nearly in tears,” she

said.

The four fire crews tackled the

flames for about two hours, Fire

and Emergency NZ said.

St John said two people were

taken to Christchurch Hospital

with moderate injuries.

“It was scary hearing the

sirens and seeing another house

in flames,” said McElroy.

Fire investigators were at the

scene of the property yesterday

morning. Fire and Emergency

NZ staff member at the scene

said the owner re-entered the

property after initially escaping,

which is what caused his injury.

Hospital parking:

No timeframe

for overdue

extension

DELAYED: The

existing staff car

park on Antigua

St was meant to

have two more

storeys added by

October last year.

PHOTO: NIVA

CHITTOCK/RNZ

• By Niva Chittock

TE WHATU Ora Waitaha says

it does not know when a decision

will be made on whether

to proceed with an overdue

extension to an existing secure

parking building at Christchurch

Hospital.

But it said it was also looking

at other options.

RNZ has reported some of the

hospital’s nurses feel their safety

was being put at risk while the

project is on hold.

In recent years, nurses have

been assaulted, stalked or had

their cars vandalised while using

public parks around the hospital.

In a statement, Te Whatu Ora

Waitaha said it was “sympathetic

and supportive” of the parking

problem.

“We are very aware of how

vulnerable some of our staff

at Christchurch Hospital feel

getting to and from their cars in

the dark before or after a shift.

“We recognise that there

aren’t enough spaces in the

area to meet current public

and staff demand, which is

why we continue to work with

Ngāi Tahu, the Ministry of

Health, local MPs, Christchurch

City Council, Environment

Canterbury, the police and other

key partners on finding solutions

to improve parking, transport

and safety in and around the

hospital campus.”

A two-storey addition to an

existing secure staff parking

building on Antigua St, which

would add 238 parks, was meant

to be completed by last October.

“We do not have a timeframe

on when a decision will be

made about (the Antigua St

extension),” it said.

But Te Whatu Ora Waitaha

said it was exploring other

solutions in the meantime.

“This includes (fast-tracking)

the demolition of the old

boiler house to accommodate

additional staff parking (subject

to funding), leasing floors of

a potential carpark build on

Tuam St and extending the staff

shuttle to Deans Ave and the

surrounding staff car parks and

streets post 1am.”

At the moment, the shuttle

specifically to transport staff

to their cars operated between

8.45pm and 1am.

In the statement, Te Whatu

Ora Waitaha also detailed a

number of safety initiatives and

protocols already in place.

“We have priority parking for

staff on our night shift should

they choose to use it and we

ensure 50 per cent of our staff car

park building is available for staff

on afternoon shifts.

“We work with the police and

Christchurch City Council to

ensure we have a co-ordinated

approach to helping keep people

safe, including police patrol

routes and a regular presence,

and good street lighting in the

area.”

It said staff could also make a

request for a security escort to

their vehicle. This was subject to

security staff availability, but Te

Whatu Ora Waitaha said it was

“able to facilitate this most of

the time with just a short wait,

especially after 1am when the

shuttle has stopped running”.

Security staff carried out both

foot and vehicle patrols as well,

the statement added.

“A nightly security patrol in

a highly visible Allied Security

vehicle patrols the main roads

around the Christchurch

Campus” and “security guard

patrols on the main walking

route between the campus and

the staff carparks [operate]

between 10 and 11.30pm (timed

to coincide with the end of

an afternoon shift and the

beginning of a night shift).”

Te Whatu Ora Waitaha said it

was always open to feedback and

suggestions that would help keep

staff safe as they arrive and leave

their workplace.

Kanohi: ‘He was cruising like a shark

• From page 1

This was probably out of

shame and to protect her family.

The effect on her mother and

family had been devastating.

The attacks in 1992 were on

a 51-year-old, and a woman in

her mid-20s, who was attacked

twice, the first an attempted rape

after he broke into her house

in February, the second when

he again broke in and this time

raped her a few days before

Christmas.

It was the courage of her

five-year-old daughter who

was asleep in bed with the

woman which led to Kanohi’s

capture, The girl phoned her

grandmother during the attack,

saying a man was attacking

“mummy”. During his escape

from the property he ended up

in the yard of a nearby resident

who was alerted by his security

lights going on. He and Kanohi

wrestled on the ground until

police responding to the rape

arrived.

After his arrest, the woman

was horrified to find Kanohi was

the man who had come to her

door a year before, claiming to

have run out of petrol. She let

him use the phone and he left a

whom they came to call “the

lolly man”.

The woman told The Star this

week she received a letter on

January 16 from the Department

of Corrections notifying her

Kanohi had died.

“I felt a sense of relief,” she

said.

She was told last year he

had been paroled to a secure

dementia centre on the outskirts

of Christchurch, despite she

and other victims opposing his

parole over the decades.

It had made her uneasy

and anxious; she lives on the

outskirts of Christchurch now

and she always wondered if she

might see or bump into him on

the supervised visits she was told

he was allowed to do.

Kanohi’s death had released

her from that, but she had spent

years suffering from the

attacks.

“It affected me so badly, it

changed how I saw people, it

affected my parenting. It really

affected my parenting. I couldn’t

relax and enjoy being a parent,”

she said.

But finally seeing “a really

good counsellor” had turned

her life around. She was told

she hadn’t moved out of fight or

flight. She couldn’t relax.

“I thought I was going mad.

It was all of the effects of what

had happened to me. I’m not the

same person I was. It changed

how I saw people, trusting

relationships,” she said.

Kanohi was a Jekyll and Hyde.

He was well liked by his friends,

he worked as a truck driver and

his boss said he was one of his

better workers. He was president

of a softball club and coached the

women’s team.

He was generous

with his money,

and women

adored him.

Even after

his arrest and

the compelling

evidence against

him, some

women who

Brendan

Bateman

were close to him still refused to

believe what he had done.

During and after the brutal

attacks on women, Kanohi

spoke to his victims as if they

were partaking with what was

happening to them.

After raping the 51-year-old

he told her: “You are a very nice

person. I wish I could have met

you in different circumstances.”

Before he left, he even asked her

for a kiss. She refused.

“I think he thought of himself

as Mr Wonderful,” she said.

Retired detective Brendan

Bateman, who headed the

Kanohi investigation, said he

was the most devious, cunning

and calculating criminal he dealt

with.

“He was a jovial, likeable

character you would see playing

the guitar in a sports club. But

behind that he was cruising

like a shark waiting to attack,”

he said.

Videos to watch

Bateman recalls going to the

police station cells in the hours

after his arrest. Kanohi was

asleep, and woke when the cell

door opened. “Gidday Brendan,”

Kanohi said, remembering the

detective who had dealt with

him years before.

Kanohi was relaxed and calm

as if nothing had happened,

Bateman said.

One woman spoke this week

of an intruder, almost certainly

Kanohi, trying to break into

her St Albans house on two

occasions while she was home

alone, just after hers partner had

left for work in the early hours of

the morning. Her house also had

been previously burgled. Thirty

years on, it still affects her.

It would be no coincidence

their home had been previously

burgled. She believes Kanohi

had been watching the house,

striking when he saw her partner

leave for work.

A few minutes later she heard

a window rattling, definitely

someone trying to break in.

“There were no cellphones in

those days and I didn’t think

I could get to the phone in the

hallway. I had the choice of

going to the hallway and not

making it in time to the phone

or barricading myself in the

bedroom (with furniture),” she

told The Star.

She barricaded herself in the

bedroom.

Footprints were found the

following morning on the

outside windowsill. The intruder

had been standing there and

‘I think he thought of

himself as Mr Wonderful’

opened the small window above

the main window. But Kanohi

was short and weighed 109kgs.

He wouldn’t have been able to

reach down to open the main

window latches and he was too

fat to get in through the smaller

window.

About two weeks later there

was another break-in attempt,

again just after the woman’s

partner had gone to work. This

time the intruder used part of a

clothesline on the property to get

better leverage and position in

a bid to open the main window,

but again he failed to get in.

“He was a fat little fellow so

he couldn’t get through (the

smaller window) and he wasn’t

tall enough to reach down to the

other window, so he came back

and tried another way of getting

in,” she said.

After Kanohi was arrested

police found in his car glove box

a family photo taken during the

burglary of the woman’s home.

Of Kanohi’s death, she said: “It

does feel like a relief even though

it was 30 years ago. I didn’t feel

a tinge of sadness when I heard

about it.

“What happened changed the

way I feel about security forever.

We upped (security) 1000 times

after what happened, even

now when I am home (alone) I

am always very wary. So what

happened 30 years ago has

always affected me.”

And would the world have

been a better place if Kanohi had

never been born, as some people

have told The Star: “Yes I do

agree with that,” she said.

Beckenham Loop

• By Emily Moorhouse

A 14-YEAR-OLD boy involved

in a six-month-long crime spree,

some of which he posted on

social media, says he misses

school and the sports he’s now

banned from playing.

The boy appeared at the

Christchurch Youth Court last

week where he was sentenced

on 84 charges which related to

stealing vehicles, assaulting people

and aggravated robbery.

The court heard a pattern

of the boy’s offending usually

involved him and associates

stealing people’s cars, driving

dangerously while failing to

stop for police and kicking

and punching members of the

public.

“I think you like to think

you’re older and tougher than

you are. You are a little boy,”

Judge Jane McMeeken told him.

Judge McMeeken highlighted

the role that social media and

peer pressure play, particularly

with young offenders.

“You need to understand

none of it’s real. Driving fast

cars, that’s a tiny part of your

life, the rest you’re in a police cell

missing your family.”

The judge said if she read out

all the victim impact statements

from the boy’s offending, she

would be reading for an hour

which wouldn’t be helpful.

However, she said one victim

has a medical condition, causing

them to suffer from pain and

anxiety and had spent three

years working to pay off their

car, which was stolen by the boy.

The victim was planning to

complete an education course

this year but now can’t afford it

as they have to borrow money

for their car.

“Please stop and consider how

badly you are impacting others

with what you are doing,” the

victim’s statement said.

The boy’s lawyer said that he

loves his education and that his


Teen sentenced on 84 charges

• By Emily Moorhouse

TWELVE YEARS ago, Trudie

Knight was co-running a

successful business, was a good

mother to her son and stepkids

and was considered a good

worker.

On Tuesday, she was sentenced

to 12 months home

detention at a residential facility,

after her marriage broke down

and she got caught up in a world

of drugs and firearms.

Knight appeared at the

district court where Judge Tom

Gilbert wished her luck for staying

off the meth as she left the

dock to begin her sentence.

The court heard how Knight

had issues with drug use in the

past but had remained offence

free for 13 or so years while she

was married.

However, following the end of

Knight’s marriage, her life became

“derailed” as she slipped

back to her old ways with a

methamphetamine relapse.

This was worsened by Knight

getting into a relationship with

her meth dealer.

According to the summary of

facts Knight was pulled over by

school was willing to welcome

him back and provide the support

he needs.

The court also heard of the

boy being banned from sports

he loves as a consequence of his

actions.

His lawyer said the boy

started off as a follower of the

offending but quickly became

the leader, egged on by peer

pressure and comments on

social media.

However, his lawyer said he

expressed regret and empathy

for his victims and had been doing

well in custody.

police in August 2021 for driving

without her lights on.

What police didn’t initially

know was that Knight was suspended

for driving, had meth in

her bra and purse, a pistol in the

vehicle’s rear seat pocket, and

a loaded shotgun wrapped in a

shirt – all of which she admitted

voluntarily.

A few weeks later, in October

2021, police completed a raid of

her flat which led to five people

getting arrested. Police found

meth, meth pipes, multiple

firearms and ammunition, cannabis

plants and cannabis pipes,

“This is a young man that’s

got potential, it is critical that

potential isn’t wasted.”

His lawyer also highlighted

the boy’s unwavering support

from his family as both his

parents and step-parents were

present in court.

The judge agreed and said in

Youth Court they don’t usually

see a mum and dad, let alone

step-parents taking time out of

their lives to come and support

offenders.

The boy hadn’t seen much of

his family and was only allowed

a 30-minute visit with them on

Christmas day.

Police pushed for a supervision

with a residence sentence of

six months, however, the boy’s

lawyer encouraged the judge to

reduce that to four months so

the boy could start school at the

beginning of term two.

Judge McMeeken agreed it

would be good for the boy, who

had been anxious about missing

out on school to get back to his

education.

But she warned the boy

that he needs to put in work to

change his ways.

“We can’t punish you to be

good,” she said.

Judge McMeeken imposed

a supervision with residence

sentence of four months

followed by a six-month

supervision order.

some of which Knight said

belonged to her.

Knight’s phone was searched,

leading to additional charges of

supplying and offering to supply

meth to others, an estimated

total of 13.5 grams worth.

Judge Gilbert said Knight had

shown good work skills and

ethic and her outlook was positive

if she can stay away from

meth.

He warned Knight of the seriousness

of her offending, particularly

the dangers of having

loaded firearms and supplying

meth into the community.

Son’s death ‘shall not be in vain’

• By Nathan Morton and

Kurt Bayer

THE SON of two prominent

Christchurch doctors who was

killed while volunteering in

war-torn Ukraine has been

remembered by his distraught

parents as an “independent freethinker”

who stood up against

Russia’s “immoral” war.

Dame Sue and Professor Phil

Bagshaw confirmed yesterday

that the body of their 47-year-old

son Andrew has been found.

He was killed alongside British

volunteer Christopher Parry, 28,

while trying to rescue an elderly

woman in an area of intense

military action in Soledar when

their vehicle was hit by an

artillery shell.

They vowed his “death shall

not be in vain” and say Russia’s

war amounts to genocide.

Said Phil: “You’ll forgive us for

not looking the part here.

“The Ukrainian authorities

and government officials in New

Zealand and London have been

working hard to learn more

details but little further is known

about the circumstances of his

death.

“Andrew selflessly took many

personal risks and saved many

lives; we love him and are very

proud indeed of what he did.”

They said it will be some time

before Andrew’s remains can be

returned to New Zealand due

to the official legal processes in

Ukraine.

“We intend that his death shall

not be in vain,” the family said.

“We are among many parents

who grieve the deaths of their

sons and daughters.”

Sue said they had

communicated with their son

over WhatsApp frequently.

However, he stopped getting

in touch regularly from about

September or October last year.

“He was probably getting into

more dangerous work . . . We’d

have rather if he communicated

PHOTO: RNZ

more regularly,” his mother said.

“His sister felt that he was

probably getting into the more

dangerous work then and didn’t

want to worry us . . . he didn’t

want to get us upset.”

Phil said: “We’ve known that

something like this was likely to

happen for a long time. It’s only

very recently that they’ve been

able to say to us that there’s any

degree of certainty that they

know where he was or what had

happened to him. It was very

recent news.

“We were told by the New

Zealand police first, and then the

Foreign Office in London, that

there is a high degree of certainty

that he’s dead.”

Phil said Andrew’s body

was in the mortuary at the

children’s hospital in Kyiv. The

grieving pair addressed media

yesterday and spoke gently, but

with strength and composure.

Tears welled up Phil’s eyes as he

remembered his son.

“It’s incredible what he

achieved in such a short space of

time,” he said.

“He was an intellectual. He’d

think about things on his own.

We tried to convince him not

to go [but] we rapidly realised

telling him that would be a waste

of time.

“We’re told by hundreds of

people [that] he served under

the most extraordinary of

circumstances. He would

evacuate anybody in danger,

taking in medicines and food.

He even helped abandoned pets

and fed them.”

Sue said her son was “an

amazing man with so much

talent.”

She said while it has been

difficult, they have been

communicating with the Parry

family in the UK.

The parents now want to talk

to people at the UN with their

“fancy words and nice suits” to

shake them up.

A memorial service date has

not been set. “We know some

people would like to give flowers,

but I’m sure Andrew would feel

the money would be better spent

donating to Ukraine.”

Donating to the children’s

hospital in Kyiv is one way to

contribute, the family said.

The parents called for

nations of the world to stop

the “immoral war” and help

Ukrainians “rid their homeland

of an aggressor.” – NZ Herald

TRIMMING TREE TOPS AT 65

To be out in one’s garden

life-giving. Fresh air, the

that a garden can provide

renews and refreshes. This

is definitely the case for

Cherry.

“There is nothing I love

more than getting some

dirt under my fingernails.

Despite my years, I am still

young. I think it is impressive

to be 65 and still able to climb

up a tree to give it a trim.”

“As you start to get on, I

think it does require you to

start to look for things that

will give you a little bit more

relax.

“It is a family thing. My

sister got my brother and I

onto the product. When my

sister showed me an article

of someone else who loved

the product, I thought, ‘I’ve

been in sales a long time,

surely there will be a catch.”’

“I did my research and

was pleasantly surprised by

what I found. It turned out

AN ORGANISED group of

unofficial police intelligence

gatherers has been formed in

the Cass Bay – Governors Bay

area to help police intercept

drivers for ‘anti-social’ driving

behaviour.

It has contributed to nine

different drivers and car owners

being dealt with over the past

five months for a number of

driving offences, including doing

burnouts and skids, as well

as failing to give information to

police. Several cars have also

been impounded.

The informal group was

formed after a meeting

between police, bay residents

and community leaders about

how best to deal with bad

driver behaviour in the area,

particularly between Lyttelton

and Governors Bay.

A member, Cass Bay resident

Scott Adams, said he knew of

six cars stopped near Rāpaki

for excessive noise, which were

probably intercepted as a result

of information the group had

provided.

Sergeant Anna Partridge said

it was a challenge putting a stop

to speeding and noisy driving

because police didn’t have the

resources to patrol all the time

and, by the time locals report an

incident, the perpetrators have

often moved on.

The partnership with locals

gathering information to send to

police “helps us see patterns so

we can take appropriate action”

at the best times, she said.

“We thank locals for their

help, which has allowed

police to obtain sufficient

evidence to impound and

green sticker vehicles.

(It’s) building trust and

confidence with the local

community.”

Said Adams: “The

boy-racer problem has

probably got worse since

was reopened and lockdown was

It was a problem all the way

from Sumner to Lyttelton to

Dyers Pass and Gebbies Pass,

with drivers treating the roads

like a race track, he said.

Said Partridge: “The

harbour basin also acts

a bit like an auditorium,

with driving

noise amplified around

the

hills, making it a

particular problem.”

Less than a month ago the club

The group – four members of

Spokesperson Dwayne Pool

said the group put its rescue plan

to members at a special general

meeting earlier this month and it

was accepted.

Pool said the new governance

group has worked with engineers

and insurers to develop a maintenance

and repair plan that has

enabled the reopening.

“We have been in contact with

all the club’s suppliers, and all

are happy to continue supplying

goods and services, so thank you

to them all,” he said.

He also said previous staff were

Space quest for answers on the

fastest explosions in the universe

SOLVING THE mystery of what

powers the fastest explosions

in the universe is a passion

for Canterbury University

researcher Dr Ryan Ridden-

Harper.

The astrophysicist and

postdoctoral researcher’s latest

project is taking him to the

extreme ends of physics in a

quest to uncover explanations for

the universe’s fastest explosions,

which space telescopes detect as

flashes or bursts that rapidly fade

away.

These types of transient

astronomical events come and

go so quickly that they are easily

missed and difficult to observe.

Ridden-Harper says while it is

thought exploding stars, massive

neutron stars and black holes

could generate the explosions,

no-one knows for sure what

powers them.

“I’ve always been curious about

how the natural world works,”

he says.

“After I first looked out into

space the mystery and wonder

captured me. While all aspects

of astronomy are fascinating, I

found the idea of watching stars

in galaxies millions of

light years away explode

and change before our eyes

incredible. More amazing still

is the extreme energies and

physics that are involved in these

explosions.”

Ridden-Harper has been

awarded a Te Putea Rangahau

Marsden Fast-Start grant

of $360,000 to help extend

knowledge of this phenomena.

“I’m excited to be starting this

project which represents the

culmination of what I’ve been

working on since I was a PhD

student in 2016,” he says.

“I’ve spent a lot of time

building the tools we need,

and now we’re ready for this

next phase.” The Marsden

grant will be used to kick

start a Canterbury University

astrophysics research group,

supporting a number of students.

Using novel analysis

techniques, the research team

will delve into archival data

from two space telescopes –

Kepler and Nasa’s Transiting

Exoplanet Survey Satellite – to

find previously undetected

transient events and create a

comprehensive survey of the

fastest explosions in the universe.

“Most transient events we

know to exist last for at least a

couple of days,” Ridden-Harper

said.

“With this project, we hope to

find ones that will fade away in

brightness in a day or less, down

to an hour or so.

“Working with international

collaborators, we will then sort

through our discoveries to find

fast transients that occurred in

distant galaxies.

“We can then work with our

theoretical astrophysicists to

delve deeper into what could

be powering these really fast

explosions.

“In this project we’ll use

telescopes around the world to

follow up our discoveries. These,

combined with the Kepler and

TESS data, cover large sections

of the sky over a long timeframe,

making this the most in-depth

survey of its kind to date in a

rapidly evolving area

of astronomy.”

Possums show they can learn from each other

SOCIAL LEARNING is

possum-able, world-first research

suggests.

Using a $9 dog treat toy,

Canterbury University master’s

student Emma Godfrey

has conducted research

showing, for the first time,

that common brushtail

possums can learn from

their peers.

“As far as we were able

to find, this study is the

first to have looked into

the social learning abilities

of common brushtail

possums, which is very exciting,”

Godfrey said.

The toy served as a puzzle,

with five different coloured

Emma

Godfrey

domes. Two were ‘target domes’,

containing chocolate hazelnut

spread.

“We were trying to teach them

to open the target domes to get to

the rewards as an incentive

for learning,” said Godfrey.

Meanwhile, ‘observer’

possums in adjacent

pens watched the

‘demonstrator’ possums

for five nights before

getting the chance to solve

the puzzle themselves.

While two of the eight

demonstrators solved the

puzzle on the first night, and

three succeeded on later nights,

the possums who watched them

did much better. All 15 observers

succeeded in solving the puzzle

on the first night, strongly

suggesting they learnt from

watching the demonstrators.

Although the experiment

sounds fun, it has potentially

serious implications for pest

eradication in New Zealand.

“I think the more we can

understand about how possums

learn (or stoats or rats, which

New Zealand also aims to

eradicate), this can hopefully

provide us with ways of

improving current methods

or creating new ways of pest

control,” said Godfrey.

“New Zealand’s biodiversity is

heavily impacted by possums so

any new knowledge that can help

with eradication is important

in order to protect our native

species.”

The next stage is to explore

whether possums can also learn

from each other what to stay

away from.

Godfrey’s dream continues

with a UC Aho Hīnātore Accelerator

scholarship, paving the

way for a PhD.

Meanwhile, her current research

is attracting attention.

“If I look back on when

I started and we were just

beginning to design the

experiment, I never would’ve

expected the interest people

have shown in it, so it’s a wild

experience really.”

TRAINING PROGRAMME

weeK Three: Knuckling down and some tips on nutrition and weight loss

In week 3 the early excitement of the City 2 Surf project you have undertaken is wearing off. You may not have

sensed a big improvement in fitness levels yet and other commitments are getting in the way of training. After

your determined start the first doubts set in: “Can I do this?” This is the time to knuckle down. You need another

2 or 3 consistent weeks before you notice a significant improvement in fitness and energy levels and perhaps

some noticeable weight loss. Once that happens you will be well on your way. The best time of day to exercise is

early morning. It is good to get it out of the way and it will energise you for the rest of the day. Later in the day you

might just feel that little bit of fatigue or things crop up which will tempt you to say “tomorrow is another day….”

This can easily become habit and before you know it you have lost one or 2 training sessions every week. Of

course you might have a good reason for not being able to get out early. Other times of the day for your training

session are perfectly fine too but good planning is required. A light snack (toast/bread, fruit) before your early

morning training session is generally recommended to assist your blood sugar levels. This also applies if you

exercise later in the morning or afternoon. Breakfast or a meal after training will assist with replenishing energy

stores. Exercising before going to bed might keep you awake for a while if you are a light sleeper.

To achieve this goal you

need to develop some

awareness around the

basic requirements of

exercising for health

and fitness. First and

foremost this has to do

with 3 key principles:

1. How often do you train? To

improve your level of health and

fitness you will need to aim for 4

sessions per week. 2 or 3 sessions

per week will only maintain what you

have and 1 session per week is definitely

not sufficient.

2. How long are your sessions? The

duration of your sessions will generally

build towards between 30 and 50 minutes

with one longer session of 60-80 minutes.

3. What is the right intensity to train at?

The good thing about the programme

is that all your runs will be done at

submaximal pace, also called conversation

pace. That means a pace where you can still

talk. If you can’t talk you are going too fast

and you are likely to come to a grinding halt

sooner or later.

This programme and accompanying information are written

as a guide only. If you are concerned about your health at

any stage please undergo a health check with your GP.

TIP oF The weeK

If you need to lose some weight, then this

training programme will help you. But it

will only do so if you pay attention to your

nutrition at the same time. Healthy choices

include bread and or cereals for breakfast,

sandwiches or a salad for lunch and an evening

meal consisting of plenty of vegetables with

fish, chicken or lean meat. Pasta and rice are

also good staple foods for active people.

One helping and avoidance of rich desserts

will assist your weight loss. A healthy snack

mid morning and afternoon will help you get

through the day. Fruit is always an excellent

choice. Avoid fatty foods and snacks with

refined sugars. If you need help with your

nutrition or weight loss this might be a good

time to have a consultation with an expert, like

one of the Sports Clinic nutritionists.

Wilding Park serves up masters, Davis Cup

VETERAN:

Dave

Meredith

and his sons

Matt, Tim

and James

will play in

the Tennis

New Zealand

Masters

champs at

Wilding Park.

• By Diane Keenan

WILDING PARK will host major tennis

events in the next two weeks, starting

with the Tennis New Zealand Masters

championships and culminating with the

Davis Cup tie between New Zealand and

Bulgaria at Waitangi weekend.

Said Tennis Canterbury competitions

co-ordinator Tom Paine: “It’s super

exciting for us to bring opportunities to the

local tennis community either playing in

the Tennis New Zealand championships

for masters or as spectators at the Davis

Cup tie.”

The masters championships for players

aged over 30 started yesterday and will

finish on Sunday. It has attracted players

from throughout New Zealand.

Paine said many of the players have

competed at the national and regional

representative level, including a “who’s

who” of the Canterbury tennis community.

Canterbury tennis veteran

Dave Meredith joins his sons

Matt, Tim and James to contest

national titles alongside “100 club”

members Remi and Joelene Feneon,

Vern Aubrey, Mark Belcher, Peter

Hampton, Shirley Haig and Sally

Moorfield.

Moorfield is the top seed for the 65 and

over singles and will combine with her

long-time partner, Shirley Haig, for the

doubles. The Merediths are competing in

singles and doubles with Dave in the 75

and over grade and youngest son James is

the top seed in the over 30 grade. James

and Tim are top seeds in the over 35

doubles.

“A number of the Canterbury contingent

have more than 100 single premier

interclub wins to their credit. It is pleasing

to see a strong representation of local

legends of the game in this tournament,”

Paine said.

Paine said the Wilding Park outdoor

courts are in great condition for both

events. Tennis Canterbury is predicting a

sell-out crowd of about 600 each day for its

Davis Cup World Group 1 play-off against

Bulgaria on February 4 and 5.

Wilding Park has a long history of

hosting Davis Cup ties. However, it has not

seen an event since a 5-0 defeat of Pakistan

in 2016. New Zealand has hosted its last

two home ties in the United States due to

Covid-19 border restrictions. The winner

of the tie will compete in a World Group 1

tie in September, while the loser will drop

to World Group 2.

EXPERIENCE: Two Canterbury golfers will compete for a chance to play at Royal Liverpool in July. Inset – Ryan Fox during the 150th British Open.

Amateurs tee-rific chance

to play The Open course

A COUPLE of casual

nine-hole games of midweek

golf with friends have earned

two Canterbury golfers a once

in a lifetime shot.

Helen Williamson who plays

at the Pegasus club and Yusuke

Imaizumi from the Russley

club will play for the chance to

travel to England for the world

invitational golf tournament to

be held before the The Open at

Royal Liverpool from July 16-23.

Williamson, 52, and

Imaizumi, 24, were randomly

selected as the monthly winners

of a promotion run by Golf New

join seven other lucky winners

from around New Zealand who

will tee off for nine holes at

Millbrook Resort. The two best

players will win trips to the 151st

Open to take part in The R&A

9-Hole Challenge. The final in

England will feature 42 ninehole

players from 21 countries.

Williamson, who took up the

game in her mid-20s and now

plays off a 15 handicap, and

Imaizumi, who has been playing

since he was 15 and has a scratch

handicap, both admit winning

a trip to Queenstown wasn’t on

their minds when they signed

up for the chance to take part in

their qualifying rounds.

“Just winning a trip to

Queenstown is an amazing prize

. . . let alone being in with a

chance to go and play the leadin

event for one of the world’s

most special golfing majors,”

Williamson said.

Said Imaizumi: “I feel a

bit like Ryan Fox. I’ll certainly

be hitting the driving range

and putting greens over the

coming months to get in a bit

of extra practice as there’s a

lot on the line for winning.”

Thiem Nguyen called the Make

so far attracted about 220,000

entries nationwide.

“For two lucky Kiwi golfers,

they will have the opportunity

to play on the same golf course

as Ryan Fox and the best

professional golfers in the world

said Nguyen. I know that Helen

other qualifying finalists, will be

experience and will practicing

Electric limousine from Mercedes-Benz

I’M WONDERING if there is

any end to the way technology

is developing, especially so with

electric vehicles.

Take the Mercedes-Benz AMG

EQS 53 for example, it has an

onboard presence that would

keep an astronaut happy. There

are a multitude of specification

features, it has a function for

almost everything imaginable –

especially for safety.

Well, you would expect that,

the EQS 53 lists at $310,900 in

standard form, you can upsec it as

well and if you go the whole hog

you’ll deplete your bank balance

to the tune of around $360,000.

In true Mercedes-Benz S-Class

fashion there are few equals on

the road that have as much kit,

and from the moment you sit in

the driver’s seat you’ll be blown

away with the space age look

and feel of the interior, there are

gadgets, buttons and displays

everywhere.

The digital dash panel

extends across the width of the

car, although the information

graphics are only visible on the

left hand side when there’s a

passenger. However, the driver

gets enough information to keep

him/her occupied for every

journey, the depth beneath

• By Ross Kiddie

IT WAS OCTOBER 1988 and I

had just boarded a flight back to

Christchurch after fuelling my

motorsport passion, spending a

day watching the Nissan/Mobil

500 Wellington Street Race.

I had the window seat and

was waiting for the remaining

passengers, it was a full flight and

the overhead lockers were packed

with carry-on luggage.

The two

vacant seats

beside me were

eventually

filled by Trevor

Crowe and his

partner Colleen,

Crowe

was holding a

decent-sized

cup, the one he earned that day

from a third place finish and

class win in a Group A BMW

M3, sharing the drive with Mark

Thatcher, son of British Prime

Minister Margaret Thatcher. The

cup wouldn’t fit in the overhead

locker so I offered to store it for

the journey under the seat in

front of me; Crowe was grateful.

It wasn’t the first time I had

met Crowe, I’d not long been

evaluating motor vehicles for

review and only weeks previously

I had driven a turbocharged

Skoda 120L that Crowe and

his workshop technicians had

modified for performance

benefits.

the graphics and controls is

enormous. The only thing

missing in the big S-Class EV is a

chauffeur.

Mercedes-Benz is exploring the

future of the way we travel, and I

guess being at the forefront of that

technology will hold the company

in good stead as EVs take control

of our car buying decisions.

The EQS 53 is powered by dual

motors – one at the front and one

at the rear – they have combined

power output of 484kW with

a colossal 950Nm of torque

available from zero revolutions.

Add in a 107.8kWh battery pack

and you have the ingredients for

power, acceleration and, more

importantly, distance to travel

between charges.

Mercedes-Benz claims up to

587km on a full charge. It would

take around 60min to fast charge

to 80 per cent from a designated

charge port. In terms of charging

from my home – well that’s a

different story, such is the volume

of energy that can be stored it’s

simply not practical to try to

charge from domestic supply; it

would take a couple of days to

charge from zero to 100 per cent.

That being the case, a wall box

or a three-phase system would

be the most suitable method

Crowe and I got talking again

on that flight and, as astute as

ever, he noticed that I wasn’t

overly comfortable as the aircraft

descended through turbulence

into a Canterbury nor’wester, his

words I still cling to today when

I’m flying and bumps are prevalent:

“It’s all right, Ross, it will just

fly through it!’’

Of course, the news of that day

was his performance in the street

race, he and Thatcher punched

well above their weight only to

be beaten by some of the greatest

names in world motorsport –

formula one driver Emanuele

Pirro and world touring car

champion Roberto Ravaglia,

domestically. Thankfully, such is

the distance you get to travel on

a full tank – figuratively speaking

– I only had to make one fast

charge and that was completed

in good time while my wife and I

carried out our weekly Pak’nSave

grocery shop.

Of course, all of the above

relates to how you drive the EQS

53, if you are throttle heavy you

won’t get the distance, but the

figures are still very impressive.

So are those of its acceleration,

Mercedes-Benz claims a 3.8sec

standstill to 100km/h time. That’s

about as quick as in any other

car I’ve driven, launch from a

standstill is simply amazing, the

energy is instant and without any

lag, the force will hold you back

in your seat and, of course, all

passengers. It’s a performance car

of true genius, if only there were

roads in New Zealand where you

can explore its potential.

I guess the unrestricted roads

in Europe will allow some sort

to prove, the third place finish

Championship that year.

of freedom, but for here it’s a

temptation that would constantly

need to be curbed.

I took the test car inland west and

enjoyed its silence and comfort.

It has all those pacifying features

that come in luxury cars, yet you

always sense it wants to break free

and deliver a performance drive. Of

course, there are drive modes that

can moderate the behaviour of the

motors or liven them up in sport

mode, but the reality is the EQS 53

has performance that needs to be

tamed.

Pointed at some tricky corners

you need to bear in mind

that there is a lot of bulk and

weight in the car. At 5.3m and

2721kg it’s a big machine, but

it is delicate underneath and

extremely competent. Huge 21in

Michelin tyres stick like glue

and provide surety. Turn-in is

precise, and body movement is

minimal. A lot of the weight is

carried underneath the seats and

at just 1.5m tall there isn’t a lot

That and Crowe’s long and

illustrious motorsport career

have all been documented in a

new book – As the Crowe Flies,

the Trevor Crowe Story. Written

by well-known motoring and

motorsport writer Steve Holmes,

the book chronicles Crowe and

the multitude of cars he has built,

developed and raced throughout

the years, and still does even into

his late 70s.

Not only does the book share

chapters on Crowe’s hill climb,

rallying and circuit and boat racing

career, it shares his secrets to

good health, which is important

to keep mentally alert and physically

of gravitational force working

against balance and composure.

Most of all, though, is the ease

at which the big AMG-inspired

limousine travels. Even with all

of its power it is easy to drive

at all speeds, during my stopstart

commute it dawdles with

little indication of what fury lies

underneath.

What’s more it is very much

Mercedes-Benz-like in terms

of how it functions and the

ergonomics are such that all

occupants are cocooned in

luxury. It must also be mentioned

that the EQS 53 drives silently at

all speeds. Sure, there are sounds

through the air and off the big

tyres but they aren’t dramatic,

it is uncannily quiet and an

experience to saviour.

Mercedes-Benz isn’t putting its

eggs all in one basket, there are

hybrid options and at this stage

plenty of petrol-only models in

the line-up. I’m due to drive a

plug-in hybrid soon, and if it is

anything like the quality of the

EQS 53 then I’m surely in for

another treat.

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.
