Bins, charity boxes part of

rubbish system review

KERBSIDE BIN sizes and

issues caused by dumping

rubbish outside of charity boxes

are under review.

Consultation opened this

week on the proposed Draft

Waste Management and

Minimisation Bylaw 2023

bylaw, which allows regulation

of all waste collection services

and operations.

Currently the city council

has two waste bylaws – the

Waste Management Bylaw 2009

and the Cleanfill and Waste

Handling Operations Bylaw

2015.

manager Ross Trotter said the

current bylaws were legally due

for review in 2025.

“However, we decided to

review them sooner to ensure

they remain fit for purpose.

Following the review we

proposed new one,” he said.

“The new bylaw is consistent

with recent changes to

regulations under the Waste

Minimisation Act and our

climate resilience strategy. It

including the goal to move

towards zero waste.”

Trotter said the proposed

changes will provide greater

flexibility. “Some of the

City council resource recovery

decided to replace the two

existing bylaws with the

our Waste Management and

Minimisation Plan 2020,

proposed changes wil legally

enable us to adapt our services

trips up

dealer

STOPPED: An armed

cordon similar to this one,

set up after the arrest of

the March 15 terrorist,

resulted in the arrest of a

man with $160,000 worth

of methamphetamine and

more than $100,000 cash.

• By Sam Sherwood

WHEN YOU have $160,000 of

methamphetamine, $108,860

in cash and a sawn-off rifle in

your car the last thing you want

to run into is a major police

operation.

But that is what happened

to Benjamin Jaye Smith, who

was stopped in an armed

police cordon in Spreydon on

March 15, 2019 – the day of the

mosque terror attacks.

Police were not looking

for him, but other potential

terrorists after they had other

captured the gunman nearby in

Brougham St.

The case can be revealed

following guilty pleas by Smith

in the district court. Smith is

set to be sentenced on May 24,

2023.

According to the summary

of facts, as the mosque gunman

was arrested in Brougham St

he indicated to police he had

bombs inside his car.

Armed cordon points were

set up to secure and contain a

250m area radius of his car

due to the IED in the boot of

his car, and the possibility it

may explode prior to being

made safe.

The terrorist also told police

there were nine active shooters

in the city. Police staff were

advised there were likely other

people and vehicles outstanding

in relation to the shootings.

About 3.30pm Smith was

driving his car in a northerly

direction on Strickland St.

An armed police officer

stationed at a cordon point

on Strickland St heard his car

approaching the cordon at

speed and believed the car was

not going to stop.

As Smith came around

a blind corner, he stopped

abruptly behind a row of cars

already at the cordon point.

An armed police officer

approached Smith’s car and

conducted an armed vehicle

stop. He then invoked a Search

and Surveillance Act search of

the car after seeing the butt of a

sawn-off rifle in the boot.

The officer found a sawn-off

.22 calibre pistol about 750mm

in length with one round of

ammunition in the chamber. A

silencer was also located in the

car.

Inside the magazine attached

to the pistol were five rounds of

.22 calibre ammunition.

The car was then towed and

secured at the Christchurch

South Police Station.

The following day police

searched the car again.

Inside was an electronic cash

counting machine and a sentry

safe containing $108,860 cash

and 921 grams of methamphetamine.

The methamphetamine was

worth about $160,000.

Text messages revealed Smith

supplied controlled drugs, likely

to be methamphetamine, to

a person who then sold it to

various people in the Tasman

area.

THE COMPETITION was as

hot as the water was cold, but

Hannah Drury still managed to

swim her way to world record

success.

The 44-year-old said four

months of bathing in her garage

chest freezer had paid off, as she

arrived back home in Canterbury

last week with two gold medals

from the world ice-swimming

championships in Samoëns,

France.

She won gold in the 100mbutterfly,

where she recorded an

age-group world record time of

1min 33.69sec, and the 100m

individual medley, where she recorded

an age-group world record

time of 1min 33.07sec.

“I am really proud of what I

achieved and I didn’t think I

would swim as fast as I did. I

certainly never expected to win

two gold medals in record times,”

Drury said.

Her training regime involved

sitting in her freezer filled with

ice-cold water for up to six

minutes a day.

“I definitely think it helped,

because once I got into the lake,

which was about three degrees, I

didn’t bat an eyelid at the cold. It

was more about getting on with

fast swimming.”

The competition was “fierce”

with more than 350 swimmers

from about 40 countries.

The lake water temperature

had been “perfect” at 3-4 deg C,

in spite of unseasonably mild

weather across Europe.

The New Zealand team of eight

swimmers finished ninth on

the medal table, bringing home

10 golds, four silvers and two

bronzes.

Drury said she and her team

members had an “awesome

time” in Samoëns and enjoyed

the supportive and friendly

atmosphere in “the frozen

village”.

“The New Zealand team were

well recognised, and the other

teams loved how we were so tightknit

and had travelled so far to be

there,” she said.

A memorable moment was

when one of the team members

lost their togs during a race.

“Thankfully they were not

disqualified.”

Drury said she was looking

forward to the upcoming

competitions in New Zealand

over winter, the first of which is

in July at St Bathans in Central

Otago.

She had not yet returned to

bathing in her freezer, but was

not ruling it out in the next few

weeks, especially as she wanted

to stay acclimatised to the cold

conditions.

“The freezer is still there ready

for me to get in,” she said.

Property prices hold up against the trend

• By Nona Pettelier

PROPERTY PRICES in

Christchurch have fallen just

one per cent over the last year,

while other major centres have

suffered a marked drop.

Wellington was down 18.1 per

cent, Auckland 8.2 per cent and

Dunedin 10 per cent, January’s

CoreLogic House Price Index

shows. House prices fell in all

the major centres and regions,

apart from Gisborne, New

Plymouth and Queenstown.

The index saw residential

property values fall 7.2 per cent

over the year earlier, which was

the biggest 12-month decline

since May 2009’s drop of 7.9 per

cent. Further falls of between 15

and 20 per cent expected in the

second half of this year.

However, CoreLogic chief

property economist Kelvin

Davidson said last month’s drop

was smaller than the worst of

the global financial crisis, when

prices fell 9.7 per cent in the year

to March 2009.

He said the green shoots of

optimism seen in October and

November evaporated following

the Reserve Bank’s gloomy

monetary policy statement in

late November, which pointed

to rising interest rates and a

recession from the middle of

this year.

In Brief

DRUM BANGS FOR

LOUDER LIVE MUSIC

People wanting live venues in the

central city to be allowed to play

louder music have taken their

case to the city council. A petition

signed by just over 3500 people

was presented to city councillors

at their meeting yesterday. The

petition is the latest move in the

saga over live music in the central

city after bar Dux Central in

Lichfield St had to drop live music

after a new neighbour complained

about the noise. The petition

was presented to city councillors

by musician Mark Chirnside. It

calls for the maximum permitted

decibels within the central city to

be raised from 60dB to 140dB.

FEEDBACK SOUGHT OVER

CATTLE BARNS

Residents will be given the chance

to give feedback on a farmer’s

consent application to build

four large indoor cattle barns on

Banks Peninsula. Farm company

Wongan Hills has applied

for consents to Environment

Canterbury to build four large

composting feed farms on their

Kaituna Valley farm – which

could hold up to 2200 cattle –

near Te Waihora Lake Ellesmere.

The four large sheds would house

the cattle 24 hours a day, yearround.

Local community group

Little River Eco Collective has

been vocal in opposition to the

proposed barns – saying they will

have detrimental effects on the

local environment.

PRINTING UP A STINK

Two Canterbury University

students Joel Tregurtha and Te

Matau O Te Rangi Allen have

spent their summer developing

and 3D printing a model stink

bug. The project has seen the

development of a prototype larger

than life-size model of the brown

marmorated stink bug, which is

about the size of a 10 cent coin.

The stink bug is an east Asian

bug now found in North and

South America and Europe. It

is a particularly difficult pest to

eradicate and control, devastating

horticulture and causing a

nuisance overwintering in homes.

As a hitchhiker, the risk of it

arriving in New Zealand is high.

More homes affected by sea level rise

• By Tony Simons

A NEW assessment on the

threat of sea level rise means the

number of ‘at risk’ properties

in the city, on Banks Peninsula

and along Pegasus Bay coast has

increased by nearly 20 per cent.

The coastal hazards assessment

report for the city council, undertaken

by environmental consultancy

company Tonkin+Taylor,

has identified 5400 more vulnerable

properties across Christchurch,

including 1500 more on the

peninsula.

The changes

mean there are now

32,800 properties

across greater

Christchurch considered

in danger

Mark

Stevenson

from coastal flooding

or erosion.

Another 3900

properties in low

lying suburbs like Linwood,

Burwood and Heathcote, and

adjacent to Pegasus Bay coastline,

have also been added, said city

council acting head of planning

and consents Mark Stevenson.

The latest assessment included

more of Banks Peninsula than

was included in a previous

assessment in 2017, “leading to

1500 more properties in that

area being identified at risk,”

Stevenson said.

CLIMATE CHANGE: Another 1500 properties on Banks Peninsula are at risk from sea level

rise, a new assessment shows.

PHOTO: GETTY

Most of the newly classified

properties are in Diamond

Harbour, Duvauchelle, Le Bons

Bay, Lyttelton, Okains Bay and

Wainui. In each area more than

100 properties have been newly

identified at risk, said Stevenson.

Other areas affected include

Birdlings Flat, Governors Bay,

Little River, Motukarara, Pigeon

Bay and Port Levy, but to a lesser

extent.

Property owners have had

the information added to their

Land Information Memorandum

(LIM) so they are aware of the

risk. The city council has also

sent letters to property owners

with the latest information

included.

“We appreciate this is not

welcome news for some residents,

but we wanted to let people know

what information is held by the

council for their

property,” said city

council general

manager infrastructure,

planning and

regulatory services

Jane Davis.

It is critical

people have good

Jane

Davis

information about the current

and predicted future impacts on

individual properties, she said.

The latest assessment, provided

to the city council in 2021, applied

different methods and used

more data.

It used “a different and improved

methodology, updated input

data, and a wider geographic

area has been used . . . leading

to different outcomes for some

properties,” Davis said.

For some properties, including

some at Southshore, this has

meant a lower assessed risk than

in 2017.

Said Stevenson: “It’s important

to understand that this recent

notification . . . adds to existing

coastal hazards LIM comments

from the 2017 Coastal Hazards

Assessment.”

Some some properties assessed

in 2017 were not re-assessed and

some properties assessed in 2021

were not previously assessed in

2017.

The earlier assessment also

included areas further up rivers

within the city, where coastal

flooding is less dominant but

remains a factor, Stevenson

said.

Suspected murder-suicide of elderly

Three years after his

parents died in a

suspected murdersuicide,

one question

still haunts their

youngest son. Sam

Sherwood reports

SEAN FEARY was sitting at

home in Washington when his

29-year-old daughter called from

Christchurch. Clearly distressed

she immediately said, “Grandma

and Granddad have been

murdered”.

Feary tried to reassure her

and said she was wrong and that

they were fine. She then told him

about news articles that showed

his parents’ home in Christchurch

and reports that two bodies

had been found.

He told her to head straight to

the scene and talk to the police officers

there. When she arrived, she

called her dad again and he spoke

with a police officer at the scene.

The officer explained how

Feary’s father, Bill Feary, 80, had

called the police about 4am on

September 30, 2019, and told the

operator he had killed his ailing

77-year-old wife Jill, and was

intending on self harming.

A police negotiation team and

armed offenders squad rushed

to the property immediately.

After breaking in they found the

couple dead.

The district’s top police officer

said at the time the deaths were

an “absolute tragedy”.

Feary, speaking to the Herald

on Sunday for the first time,

says he has no doubt the couple

planned their deaths.

“To me it’s like a Romeo and

Juliet story. Mum couldn’t take

anymore and he couldn’t live

without her. She was his whole

life.

“I couldn’t have asked for

better parents.”

Sean Feary was born in

Wellington but the family,

including his older brother,

soon moved to Christchurch.

Bill Feary, who was the boys’

stepfather, raised them from

when Feary was about eight.

“Dad made me the man I am

today, he was awesome,” Feary

says.

“They always took us on little

holidays and things like that,

it was just normal Kiwi life. It

MISSED: Sean Feary (above)

was great.”

Bill Feary spent most of his

career in broadcasting as a rigger,

before moving to Christchurch

and working for a flooring

company and then taking up a

job as a bus driver before retiring.

Jill Feary worked at a local

clothing apparel company until

she retired.

Sean Feary moved to the US

when he was 30, but kept in constant

contact with his parents.

Jill Feary’s retirement was

marred by health issues including

chronic obstructive pulmonary

disease – an inflammatory lung

disease that causes obstructed

airflow from the lungs – as well

as a virus that injured her heart.

This was followed by breast cancer,

which required her to have a

mastectomy in her mid-60s.

Despite the major operation,

she made sure she was able to

travel to see her son and celebrate

his 40th birthday.

However, she never fully healed

from the surgery, with complications

that would continue for the

last 12 years of her life. Near the

end, she had pneumonia.

Feary says his mum was too

stubborn to have someone come

and care for her.

“There was no way that mum

was going to have someone

changing a nappy or bathing her

because she went through it with

my grandmother and there was

no dignity in that,” he says.

“She was definitely suffering,

and I could tell when I spoke to

her she was in a lot of pain.”

Her health issues continued

to worsen and she had to visit

the hospital two or three times a

week.

“She loved the Christchurch

Hospital staff,” her son says.

“They did nothing but take

care of her.”

Sean Feary is adamant his parents

planned their deaths.

Bill Feary, who took on the

role of caring for Jill, became

more protective of his wife as her

condition worsened.


couple ‘a Romeo and Juliet story’

NEWS 7

“He didn’t want her stressing

out, didn’t want her doing too

much. He did all the cooking,

he babied her, and he really took

care of mum a lot, above and

beyond.

“He adored her, she was his

soulmate.”

Bill Feary would often email

him with updates about his

mother’s health. The last email

was to inform him she had

pneumonia.

Feary got a call from his mum

in March 2019 asking him to

come home as she missed him

and wanted to see him. He did

so, spending a few weeks with

the couple, and he said aside

from the health issues the couple

appeared to be fine.

“Dad was still goofy as ever.”

Feary’s last conversation

with his parents – who had

10 grandchildren and nine

great-grandchildren – was just a

“normal phone call”, he recalls.

“Mum and Dad were just

joking around.”

He was supposed to call them

the following weekend but

forgot. The next day he was on

the phone with the policeman

who was telling him about his

parents’ deaths.

“It was such a shock; I just

went numb.”

After consoling his wife and

children, he booked flights and

was in Christchurch within two

days.

Immediately after touching

down, he went to identify his

parents at Christchurch Hospital

before going to their home.

“The police were brilliant. I

got there and it was like nothing

had happened; they repaired the

house.”

In the bedroom Feary would

stay in when he visited was a

large bag on the bed. Inside

was his children’s favourite

chocolate, jet plane lollies for

him, socks for his wife, and

photos of his children. He is

convinced his mum left it all for

him shortly before she died.

“I know Mum knew what

was going on. Dad wouldn’t

have done that, that was Mum

through and through.”

A will was also left in the

living room.

Feary spent about a month

in Christchurch, dealing with

police and lawyers and sorting

the family home.

“I didn’t really have time to

grieve. My whole time there

was just dealing with what had

happened.”

He credits Victim Support

staff for helping him come to

terms with his parents’ death

while he was in the country.

Three years on, Feary, now

54, is still coming to terms

with what happened. A private

person, he does not like

speaking about it too often

and tries to stay busy, but

admits there are times when

the emotions just come to him,

seemingly out of nowhere.

“I miss them every day. I

will be driving to work in my

van and it’ll just hit me again.

Sometimes I have a tear and a

wee bit of a cry and I’ll be like

why? Just out of the blue. It’s one

of those things,” he says.

“I’m just grateful that I’ve got

great kids and my wife has been

nothing but supportive.”

Asked how he feels towards

his father, he says he loves him

and holds no ill will for what

happened.

“Dad was pretty healthy and

he just would not want to live

without Mum. I don’t know

many men that would’ve gone

through what he went through

and completely stick behind

Mum 100 per cent in the way he

took care of her.

“They loved each other so

much.”

There are still some

unanswered questions for Feary,

which he hopes a coroner’s

report will one day solve.

But the most important

question, that still haunts him, is

about his mum.

“I want to make sure my mum

never suffered and that she was

at peace.

“It would be closure because I

keep thinking about it.”

Another twist in the Cave Rock

• By Tony Simons

THE FUTURE of one of the

most desirable coastal building

sites in Christchurch is up in the

air – yet again.

The controversial and

troublesome 4186m 2 site facing

the beach at the entrance to

Sumner village has been

fenced bare land for years, except

for a tavern building with a

large derelict and often-flooded

basement car park underneath.

One of the owners, Lime

Developments, has refused to

comment on its latest plans but

it appears a 2021 a proposal to

build apartments with a wine bar

underneath, alongside a private

residence, have evaporated.

Another shareholder, developer

Shane Kennedy, had been in

talks with the city council, saying

he intended to start building in

2021. A resource consent was

granted last year but now a new

resource consent application

has been lodged for a larger

complex called The Marriner. It

proposes 14 apartments and six

commercial units covering the

entire western half of the site.

Kennedy has also declined to

comment on the latest plans.

For more than 25 years the former

Cave Rock Apartments site

has been plagued with conflict,

bitterness, controversy and bad

luck. It started in the mid-1990s

when plans for a 49-apartment

Peter Beavan-designed complex

was first announced by developer

PRIME PROPERTY:

The 4186m 2 site at the

entrance to Sumner

village as it looks today.

Left – the quake-damaged

apartment complex before

it was demolished in 2012.

Peter Foster, and neighbours

objected. They were finally approved

and the complex was built

in 1998.

Just a few years later problems

emerged as many of the apartments

were found to have design

defects and were leaky buildings.

An agreement had to be negotiated

with the city council and the

builder to repair them.

Mainzeal was about to start repairs

when the February 22, 2011,

earthquake struck and the main

block was abandoned soon after.

The entire complex then

became the subject of a long and

bitter dispute between the owners,

and with EQC and NZI (part

of IAG) over how to repair the

buildings and flooded basement

car park at the eastern end of the

site. The complex continued to

suffer after the quakes, Mainzeal

went bust, and architect Peter

Beavan died aged 86 from cancer

caused by asbestos. The main

block was finally demolished in

2012.

In 2016, the owners rejected

a $16 million full and final

settlement offer from the insurers

and two more years went by

before they finally settled at

mediation on the eve of High

Court action for an undisclosed

sum. A plan to rebuild the main

block was then abandoned after

costs escalated and, in 2018, a

conditional offer to purchase the

property as-is-where-is for $4.8m

was accepted. More in-fighting

followed as four apartment

owners, unhappy with how the

money was to be distributed,

refused to sell. They included the

original developer, Peter Foster.

waterfront apartments saga

•From page 1

The High Court was called on

to settle that dispute, too, ordering

them to sell. Then, even more

dispute and legal action over the

agreed purchase price after vandals

damaged the buildings.

When it was all over, owners

were finally paid the last of the

proceeds in April 2021, but not

before 14 of the original residents

had died in the meantime.

The purchaser Jonathan Lyttle

of Citadel Property said at the

time he was excited about taking

over the site.

“We are really happy for the

members of the body corporate

and owners who have been

through quite an ordeal,” he said.

However, not long after, he

demolished the remaining apartments

and in mid-2020 the land

was divided into five plots, later

changed to four, in a process complicated

by a stormwater easement

running through the middle of

the site.

The sections were marketed

for a while as sites for owner-occupiers

or builders, but only one

sold. Concrete foundations were

poured for the private residence

and locals said timber framing

and trusses turned up on site but

soon after, they were taken away

again.

Marriner Developments then

acquired the entire site.

Several resource consents have

been applied for and granted for

the site over the past few years, the

most recent late last year which

the city council is reviewing.

City council planners said

they cannot confirm when the

latest application for a mixed use

complex might be considered.

Boy’s close call with irrigator

• By Susan Sandys

A BOY FACES a slow recovery

after being seriously injured by

a lawn irrigator while playing in

a park.

Ten-year-old Jayden sustained

a depressed skull fracture and

bleed on the brain after being hit

on his head by a rotating arm of

the machine.

He was visiting Southbridge

Domain playground with his

grandmother Angela Slade and

eight-year-old cousin Emily.

Angela said the visit to the

park suddenly became a life-anddeath

situation after Jayden was

attracted to water around the

travelling roto-rainer irrigator in

hot weather. He was struck as he

stood up after slipping.

Angela said at first she had not

noticed Jayden had wandered

about 15m away to play under

the irrigator on an adjoining

rugby field. As she unpacked

food onto a picnic table, she

heard “a horrible, horrible

scream”.

“That’s when I turned around,

he was just getting back up again

and the bar nearly got him again.

I’m like: ‘Get out, get out’.”

Angela said while she had earlier

pointed out to the children

a single caution sign nearby

saying ‘Potentially Dangerous

Equipment’, this had obviously

not been enough to keep Jayden

away.

Jayden was in extreme pain

after the accident and began

vomiting. He was taken to

Christchurch Hospital by ambulance.

Mum Sarah Whittaker said

doctors at first thought he had

INJURY: Jayden

was taken by

Hospital after

irrigator.

severe concussion, but they were

as surprised as she was when

a CT scan showed a depressed

skull fracture and bleed on the

brain.

Last week he had a craniotomy,

where a 10cm long piece of bone

from his forehead was removed

and replaced with a plate. He

may have to have more surgeries

to replace the plate as he grows.

He was discharged at the weekend,

and is expected to make a

full recovery. But that recovery

will be slow as he suffers the

head injury effects of fatigue,

headaches, irritability and light

sensitivity. He will be at school

only part-time throughout term

one.

Whittaker said she was glad to

hear the Selwyn District Council

had removed all such irrigators

from operation in parks and

reserves. She said while the caution

sign had been pointed out

to Jayden, he would not have absorbed

the information due to a

learning disability and dyslexia.

“I don’t want it to happen to

anybody else,” she said.

Selwyn District council group

manager infrastructure and

property Murray Washington

said while in operation the

irrigator had three caution

signs “placed at different points

around the reserve to alert people

approaching from different

directions.”

“This type of irrigator is

common in rural areas and has

been used by the council for

around 30 years without incident

to our knowledge. We plan

to replace them with modern

technology water cannon type

irrigators, which will minimise

any future risk to the public.”

A $37 million dollar idea

ignited in Christchurch and

fuelled by an ecosystem.

If you haven’t heard of Partly,

this time will not be the last.

The Christchurch-based automotive software company is on a mission to

connect the world’s car-parts industry and they recently raised $37 million

in funding from leading venture capital funds across Australasia and Europe.

This is the biggest Series A capital raise in New Zealand history. They credit

what they learnt on their incubator journey as the catalyst for their success.

Business incubators are one stage of Christchurch’s innovation ecosystem

and this support is key to developing home-grown start-ups, which have the

potential to develop into high-growth, high-wage businesses.

“This city has an incredibly

supportive network and

entrepreneurial environment

where you’ll find a community

which helps and supports each

other, an ecosystem that talks

about and encourages founders,

a safe place to learn from each

other’s mistakes, and nurtures

each other to think bigger.”

- Levi Fawcett, CEO of Partly

What’s an innovation ecosystem?

It’s a support system to help transform good ideas into thriving businesses.

In Ōtautahi, the key elements are:

ChristchurchNZ

The city’s sustainable economic development

agency funds and coordinates the ecosystem

Ministry of Awesome

Runs a national Founder Incubator programme to

grow high-potential tech start-ups and business

accelerator programmes

ThincLab at University of Canterbury

Provides tailored support to help early-stage

businesses scale and grow

HTK Group

Supports Māori and Pacifika start-up and scale-up

businesses, for both tech and general businesses

Connects innovators, opportunities and networks,

and provides tailored technical solutions, training

and grants co-funding to spark innovation and

accelerate commercialisation

New Zealand Trade and Enterprise

Provides knowledge and global networks to help

exporters make better decisions and connect to

the right partners and investors

In November, Christchurch jumped an astounding 168 places in

COURT


‘One day I will get you’:

Business owner jailed

for attempted rape

CONVICTED:

Owner of Gerald

Diver Painter

& Decorator,

Gerald Diver,

preyed on two

of his former

employees.

PHOTO: EMILY

MOORHOUSE/

NZ HERALD

• By Emily Moorhouse

THE OWNER of a painting

business repeatedly smacked

the bottom of one of his young

female employees and told

another “one day I will get you”

before plying her with vodka and

attempting to rape her during a

work trip.

Gerald Mark Diver’s victims

said his unwanted sexual behaviour

towards them became

“normal” and it was often passed

off by him as “workplace banter”.

But on Monday, the 53-yearold

owner of Gerald Diver Painter

& Decorator was sentenced in

the district court to four years

and four months in jail, after the

two women revealed his offending

and brought to an end his

workplace harassment.

The first former employee,

referred to in court as victim

A, said she had become “numb

and immune” to Diver slapping

her bottom. After experiencing

the assault almost daily for

several years, it became normal

behaviour, she said.

He would also make comments

to her such as “you’re

looking good today”.

The woman felt “unworthy

and belittled”. Diver paid her

minimum wage and told her she

wasn’t worth more, despite her

being a qualified painter. She

eventually resigned.

As she began to believe Diver’s

treatment of her was standard,

other men started disrespecting

her too.

She didn’t speak up about the

assaults while employed by him

as she feared her voice would not

be heard over that of her boss’.

Victim B told the court she

was once a “strong, jovial and

happy painter” who was handpicked

by Diver to work for his

company.

But he would later sack her

after she confronted him about

attempting to rape her.

The experience lingered in

her new relationships, making

it difficult for her to trust. Panic

attacks and flashbacks became

a common occurrence and she

missed out on celebrating milestones

with her loved ones.

“Gerald Diver deserves to

feel the full force of the justice

system given the offence of the

crimes he inflicted on me and

his other victims,” she said in her

victim impact statement.

Diver had once been overheard

by victim A telling victim B “I

will sleep with you one day”. . .

“one day I will get you”.

In September 2020, victim

B and Diver travelled north of

Christchurch for an overnight

work trip. They were staying in a

shared motel unit with separate

bedrooms.

Following a day’s work,

they had dinner together and

Diver bought a one-litre bottle of

vodka which they drank in the

games room of the motel.

Victim B said she got drunk

“really fast” and Diver began

saying “vile” things to her of a

sexual nature and told her to

keep drinking.

After they left the games room

Diver tried to pull her into the

motel unit despite her repeatedly

saying “no” and pushing him

away.

She recalled him becoming

aggressive and continuing to pull

her before she blacked out in a

bedroom.

The next morning she woke

to find she was not wearing any

tights or underwear. She could

recall being held down, unable to

move or see anything and feeling

a “massive” weight on her.

At the time, victim B didn’t say

anything to Diver about what

had happened but a few days

later she raised it with him and

stated she did not want to work

alongside him that week.

Diver told her nothing happened

and she was “making

things up”, she said. But a few

days later when she tried to confront

him again, he cancelled her

work and sent her home.

Diver faced a charge of attempted

sexual violation by rape

and a representative count of

indecent assault, having been

found guilty in an earlier judgealone

trial.

Diver was initially charged

with rape but at trial the court

heard his erectile dysfunction

meant he could not achieve

an erection long enough for

penetration. This was used as

his defence, which contributed

to the charge being reduced to

attempted rape.

At sentencing, Crown prosecutor

Courtney Martyn questioned

Diver’s claimed remorse, submitting

it was actually self-pitying.

Defence lawyer Grant Fletcher

said the court must take into

consideration that rape had not

been proven and it was instead

attempted rape.

But Judge Michael Crosbie

resisted the submission, stating:

“It is not a clumsy attempt. I find

it likely that Mr Diver raped her.”

THE DRIVER behind a fatal

hit-and-run told police it was

his friend who was responsible

for the crash and he didn’t know

anything about it.

But in the district court,

Anthony Alexander Thomas

admitted he had lied to police

about being in the passenger seat

when his Subaru vehicle collided

with cyclist Sean William Russell

Innes in Linwood.

He pleaded guilty to conspiring

to defeat the course of justice

after having earlier admitted

to driving dangerously causing

death and failing to stop and

ascertain injury.

Initially, a 44-year-old Ashburton

man who has interim name

suppression was accused of the

hit-and-run.

But Thomas, a 30-year-old

farmer from Ashburton, later

owned up to being behind the

wheel after he was “overcome

with guilt” when Innes, 45, died

in hospital two weeks later.

According to the summary of

facts, Thomas and his co-accused

were travelling from Ashburton

to Christchurch about 3pm on

September 13 last year.

Thomas was driving and his

co-accused was in the passenger

seat as the car turned onto Linwood

Ave, which was busy with

traffic at the time.

As he approached stationary

traffic at the intersection

of Linwood Ave and Buckleys

Rd, Thomas drove along the

left-hand shoulder of the road,

designated for cyclists.

Innes, who was cycling, was

struck from behind and forced

up onto the car’s bonnet before

being thrown onto the road.

Thomas, who was travelling at

least 73km/h when he hit Innes,

made no attempt to slow down

or stop following the collision.

Instead, he completed a left turn

and fled the scene.

A short distance from the

crash site, Thomas pulled over

and swapped seats with his coaccused.

The man then drove the

car towards Burwood, having to

steer while looking out the window

due to the windscreen damage.

The Subaru also had damage


Fatal hit-and-run cover-up

GUILTY PLEA: Anthony Thomas admitted he had been

driving the Subaru that hit and killed cyclist Sean Innes.

to its front bumper, headlights

and its front and rear driver’s

side tyres were deflated.

Thomas and his co-accused

parked the vehicle in the residential

red zone before fleeing across

abandoned land and swimming

across Horseshoe Lake in Burwood.

Later that evening, Thomas

called the police and reported his

vehicle as stolen, claiming he had

woken up to find it missing.

But after hearing Innes had

died as a result of the crash,

Thomas came clean and was

arrested and charged. He was remanded

on electronically monitored

bail ahead of his sentencing

on May 4.

His co-accused did not turn up

to court, prompting the judge to

issue a warrant for his arrest.


THE NAME of a Merivale man

who used the handle “Superdad”

to operate an account to upload

sexual content involving children

and share with other users his

dark desire to “perv on young

kids” can now be revealed.

Anthony David Cook, 59, was

sentenced in the district court

last week to four years and one

month in prison for sharing and

possessing child sexual exploitation

material.

According to the summary

of facts, in 2015 Cook used fake

details and the username Superdad748

to create an account on a

social media messenger platform

located in the United States.

In January 2019, he uploaded

CSEM involving a boy aged between

seven and 10 years.

This was detected by the social

media platform and while it was

reported to authorities, a suspect

could not be linked to the distribution

of the image.

Cook continued to upload

CSEM, distributing a total of 41

offender named

images to seven recipients until

services were able to link it to his

account.

In October 2021, police

searched Cook’s Merivale home

and found two iPhones.

The phones were searched and

a total of 1056 objectionable publications

were discovered. Some

involved children as young as

four years old performing sexual

acts on adults.

According to the summary,

Cook would message others on

the platform and express how he

“loved to perv on young kids getting

changed”.

“I think the pools will finally

get a visit from me this weekend.

Can’t stop thinking about the

little boy’s c****,” he said in one

exchange.

In another message, Cook

described seeing a 10-year-old

girl at a customer’s home he had

visited. He told the recipient he

had been thinking of the girl in a

sexual way.

“I stared at her when I could

and she held my gaze.”

Arrested pornographer faces nervy wait

• By Kurt Bayer

AN EX-PAT Cantabrian who

helped trick women into

becoming porn stars has lost his

US lawyer and had sentencing

delayed – while his old boss and

Christchurch schoolboy friend is

awaiting extradition from Spain

after appearing on the FBI’s Ten

Most Wanted Fugitives list.

Matthew Isaac Wolfe, aka

‘Ben’, was due to be sentenced in

a San Diego courtroom this week

for his roles in the GirlsDoPorn

scandal.

Wolfe, 41, is facing a maximum

sentence of life imprisonment

after earlier pleading guilty

to conspiracy to commit sex

trafficking.

But he faces a nervy wait until

May 25 to learn of his fate.

Court documents seen by the

NZ Herald reveal that Wolfe

needs more time to finish his

paperwork to “address the

complicated issues involved in

the matter”. He has also had a

change in attorneys.

Wolfe was a cameraman and

office assistant to Christchurch

primary school buddy Michael

James Pratt’s shady porn empire

behind popular adult websites

GirlsDoPorn and GirlsDoToys.

Others have already been

convicted for their parts in the

scandal.

And Pratt, who had been on

the run since 2019, was finally

arrested in Spain just before

Christmas.

Spanish police announced the

arrest on Twitter, publishing a

video of officers handcuffing a

man and searching him.

A spokeswoman for the FBI,

which had offered US$100,000

for information on Pratt’s

whereabouts, this week told the

NZ Herald he is “still awaiting

extradition”.

To persuade women to appear

in the videos, Wolfe admitted to

telling them the videos would

never be posted online, would

never be released in the United

States, and that no one who

knew the women would ever find

out about their production.

Women targeted by Wolfe said

in a US$20 million lawsuit that

he had promised them the videos

would only be seen by private

collectors in Australia and New

Zealand.

Many of those duped into

filming were struggling financially

and offered between

US$3000-US$5000 as payment,

as well as an “all expenses” trip

to San Diego. They were taken to

motel rooms where the footage

was filmed.

The videos were then posted to

the company’s own subscriptionbased

website, while shorter versions

were posted to some of the

world’s largest pornography sites,

with the company profiting over

$17 million in revenue according

to court documents.

The videos were viewed over a

billion times – a conservative figure

that doesn’t take into account

pirated copies of the files.

According to the United

States Department of Justice,

Wolfe admitted that he moved

to the United States in 2011 to

work for Pratt, the owner of the

GirlsDoPorn and GirlsDoToys

websites.

The pair had been friends since

childhood, growing up together

in Christchurch.

“Wolfe filmed approximately

one hundred videos, he uploaded

finished videos onto the internet,

he oversaw the company’s

financial books, and he operated

various business entities that

were used to promote the

business,” the DOJ said in a

statement.

The promises were made,

despite Wolfe knowing Pratt

was also operating a separate

site, pornwikileaks.com, set up

to expose the “true identities”

of women appearing in the sex

videos.

“Even after Wolfe became

aware of this, he and others

continued to assure prospective

models that no one would ever

find out about their video shoot

or learn their identity.”

Mapping sea ice has global impact

CANTERBURY University

researchers are behind

pioneering airborne technology

that will map and measure a

vast stretch of Antarctic sea ice,

revealing more about the critical

role it plays in the global climate

system.

UC School of Earth and Environment

Professor Wolfgang

Rack, a glaciologist, said it will

be the most comprehensive study

of coastal sea ice in Antarctica

ever carried out, and the resulting

data will be internationally

significant.

“Using an aircraft survey,

we plan to measure the largest

stretches of Antarctic sea ice in

history,” he said.

“If we want to be confident

in our predictions of sea ice

trends and better understand the

vital role it plays in a warming

climate, we need more accurate

information on the thickness of

current coastal sea ice.”

Rack and his team, which

includes research scientist Dr

Daniel Price, have been awarded

a three-year $929,000 Marsden

Fund grant from Royal Society

Te Apārangi for the project. It is

a collaboration between UC, Lincoln

Agritech, the Alfred Wegener

Institute for Polar and Marine

Research in Germany, Australian

Antarctic Division, NASA, and

ETH Zurich University.

PROJECT: Canterbury University School of Earth and Environment Professor Wolfgang Rack

with the aircraft that will be used in a study of coastal sea ice in Antarctica. PHOTO: UC

The survey will be carried

out in late 2024 in the Ross Sea

and Western Pacific areas of

Antarctica using a fixed-wing

DC3 aircraft. An ‘EM Bird’ –

an electromagnetic induction

device provided by a collaborator

from AWI – will be suspended

80 metres under the aircraft to

measure the thickness of the ice

below.

For this project, it will be combined

with a built-in snow radar,

developed with collaborators at

Lincoln Agritech and integrated

with the EM Bird system at UC

and AWI. In combination, the

technology can simultaneously

measure ice thickness and the

depth of the snow layer on top.

Said Rack: “For the first time

we will be able to directly assess

the thickness and volume

of complex coastal sea ice. We

theorise this type of ice is a

major factor in the global climate

system – if it is changing, then

there will be big consequences

for our planet.”

Sea ice helps sustain Antarctic

‘bottom water’, which is the

deepest, coldest and densest

ocean water. This bottom water

helps remove carbon dioxide

from the atmosphere, storing it

at the ocean floor for a long time.

It also helps circulate the world’s

oceans.

“The more sea ice is out there,

the more Antarctic bottom water

is created, so it’s a critical part of

oceanic and atmospheric circulation

with huge global impacts,”

he said.

Vast areas of Antarctic sea ice

cover up to 20 million square kilometres

in winter, reflecting sunlight

and mitigating its warming

effects on sea temperatures.

Sea ice trends are poorly

understood because satellites

can only reliably map their area.

Only a few thickness measurements

are taken from the ground

every year, and they cover a

relatively small area.

“Since the late 1970s, we’ve

observed an increase in the area

of coastal sea ice in Antarctica,

which is the opposite of what one

would expect,” Rack said.

“Only very recently have we

seen a decline, but also much

more variability. We need to

know more about the thickness

of the ice and its overall mass to

understand these changes.”

The data collected will be used

to develop a tailored satellitederived

ice thickness product

for Antarctica’s coastal region

and will also provide observational

datasets for computer

simulations that will allow better

forecasting.

• The New Zealand Sea

Ice Symposium 2023:

Building Aotearoa’s Sea Ice

Science Vision will be held

at Canterbury University

on February 13-14. It is a

“think tank” for strategies

to progress sea ice science

in New Zealand.

Ex Rugby Player Finding Support ADVERTISEMENT

KORU NUTRITION

Keith would describe

his younger self as

definitely a ‘man’s man’.

Work hard, play harder

and ‘shake it off’ if need

be. Looking back Keith

realised that those early

hay days were great.

“I loved being out

on the footy field. Big

tackles, sprinting from

ruck to ruck and then

back again, pushing

hard on the side of the

scrum; nothing like a bit

of healthy competition to

get the blood pumping.”

A lifetime of exercise,

a good diet and making

sure that he wore knee

supports, Keith lived

fairly well. However for

Keith, although health

is key, he has still gone

through the normal day

to day of a physically

demanding job.

An old footy mate

asked one day if he had

tried Koru FX from Koru

Nutrition. They said

they’d been using the

cream to support their

joints and muscles.

“I said I would give it

a go, so he threw me a

bottle.”

Koru FX cream by Koru

Nutrition has become

NZ’s #1 joint and muscle

support cream. With over

two and a half thousand

5 star reviews, Koru FX

is showing itself to be a

favourite in many New

Zealand households

“It smelt good, and

felt great. It is just nice

to go about my day, be

it carrying every bag of

shopping in for my wife

in one go, off to aqua

aerobics and swimming

or just larking about;

Koru FX gives me the

confidence I need, to

continue to live an active

life.”

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

Containing high quality

oils like calendula,

arnica, manuka and

peppermint, along with

twelve others, Koru FX

provides the perfect

formulation for fast

acting joint and muscle

support.

Ask for Koru FX cream

next time you’re in the

pharmacy and try it for

yourself.

ECan may reassess

water testing in bay

• By Tony Simons

PUBLIC PRESSURE has

resulted in Environment

Canterbury agreeing to

It follows confusion and

because of

high faecal bacteria readings

over the previous five

Southworth met with

ECan staff and Cosair Bay

swim group representative

Leith Cooper last week.

She said a paper will be

presented at the next ECan

water and land committee

meeting, where she expects

possible changes will be

discussed.

She said the public is

welcome to attend.

After meeting with

Southworth, Cooper said

he was impressed with her

He encourages the public

to attend the ECan meeting

to voice their concerns.

“Corsair Bay is a

site for Christchurch and

ECan needs to be more

responsive,” he said.

“They need to be testing

the water daily and putting

up better signage to give

people confidence to make

whether or not to swim

there.”

Cooper said ECan also

needed to review the

“unsuitable for swimming

Davis Cup singles players

will be named tomorrow

• By Diane Keenan

NEW ZEALAND will confirm

their two singles players

tomorrow for the Davis Cup tie

against Bulgaria at Wilding Park

over the weekend.

Team captain Kelly Evernden

will chose from Rubin Statham,

Ajeet Rai and KP Pannu ahead

of the world group playoff 1.

They will be joined by doubles

specialists Michael Venus and

Artem Sitak.

Statham, who is world No

454, has won 28 Davis Cup

singles matches, more than any

other New Zealander, and is

likely to be named to play two

of the singles rubbers. However,

Rai (world No 455) and Pannu

(world No 574) both impressed at

the ASB Classic and its wildcard

tournament.

Rai defeated world No 95 Taro

Daniel from Japan before losing

in three sets to Brazilian Thiago

Monteiro, while Pannu looked

solid in the wildcard tournament

but went down to eventual ASB

Classic winner Richard Gasquet

in the first round.

Play will start at noon on

Saturday with the first two

singles rubbers, followed by the

doubles and the reverse singles

on Sunday.

The tie will be a sell-out on

both days, Tennis Canterbury

general manager Bevan Johns

said.

“Tickets were snapped up as

soon as they went on the market.

The last Davis Cup tie played

here was in 2016 so it’s very

exciting that the international

men’s team competition is returning

to the city,” Johns said.

The Bulgarian team, which

will be without top-ranked

player Grigor Dimitrov, who has

been as high as world No 3, will

still provide a stern challenge,

with second-ranked player

Dimitar Kuzmanov ranked No

182 in the world.

The winner advances to a

world group 1 tie in September

with the loser relegated to world

group 2. Tennis Canterbury patron

The New Zealand team of

lost 3-2 to France in the semis

on clay courts in France. New

Cup includes making the quarter

finals in 1981, 1983 and 1990.

Ralfe, who has strung rackets

at the past 23 Davis Cup ties in

Christchurch, has the honour

of “not missing one of those ties

and stringing the rackets of all

the winning teams.”

“We have also had some very

Most of the memorable ties

were played on the centre court

at Wilding Park, but it also went

indoors on artificial surfaces at

Pioneer Stadium and the central

city, King Edwards Barracks,

which unfortunately leaked,

Ralfe says.

Rafter was a favourite with

the ball kids that year (1993-94)

when at the end of the tie, he

stayed and hit with them.

“I still have a letter from an

Australian team captain John

Newcombe thanking me for

stringing the team’s rackets and

saying the job I did was as good

as anywhere in the world. That

individual score in club cricket

history at the weekend.

Jacobs (left) blitzed 11 sixes

and 12 fours for Sydenham on

his way to 178 off 138 balls

against Old Boys’ Collegians. He

surpassed the previous record

of 169, held by Burnside West’s


Sam Noster in the 2015/16 season.

It was Jacobs third century

of the season in the rain-affected

47-over match. OBC won the

toss and elected to bowl first,

but faced a strong batting performance

from Jacobs and Ryan

Wallace (52 off 75 balls) who

combined for a 191-run partnership.

Jacobs was eventually run-out

towards the end of the innings,

as Sydenham finished on 315/5.

In response, OBC began well

with Australian import Dylan

Hunter (104 off 89 balls) bringing

up his first century for his

new club. But Sydenham’s bowlers

closed out the match quickly,

taking OBC’s last six wickets for

just 40 runs, restricting them to

273.

This weekend sees the

women’s T20 final between

Sydenham and Lancaster Park at

Sydenham Park on Saturday.

11 sixes in record-breaking innings

Lancaster Park could be without

several of their Canterbury

Magicians, who are set to play

the Otago Sparks at Hagley Oval

three hours before the club final

starts. However, Lancaster Park

will still go into the game as the

favourite after beating Sydenham

at the weekend by 66 runs.

There are two more rounds

to play in the men’s one-day

competition before the

semi-finals on February 18.

FOUR OF the city’s footballers

helped New Zealand qualify for

the under-17 FIFA World Cup in

Peru in November.

Nicholas Murphy, Jackson

Cole, Eric Sugahara and Matt

Foord all played an integral

part in the New Zealand team

that won the Oceania under-17

championships on Saturday after

a nail-biting 1-0 win over New

Caledonia, which also qualified

for the World Cup.

Murphy and Cole currently

play for Christchurch United,

while Cashmere Technical’s

Sugahara and Foord are also

products of the Christchurch

United Academy. Their presence,

along with former Cantabrian

Luke Supyk, shows a big shift in

national team selection. Most

national squads over recent years

included only one or two or no

South Island players at all.

The change reflects the

hard work Christchurch clubs

have put in to improve youth

development. Former All White

Aaron Clapham, who lives in the

city, is also the current assistant

of the under-17 side – and has

helped identify talented local

players. Murphy, Cole, Sugahara

and Foord all featured in the

final. Goalkeeper Foord claimed

man of the match after pulling

off several stunning saves after

New Zealand was reduced to 10

men for the final 20 minutes.

Foord also won the golden

glove for best goalkeeper and

was named in the team of the

tournament. Murphy was part

of the epic defensive effort in the

final minutes. “My immediate

reaction was just run and hug

my nearest teammate. I was just

filled with joy and to celebrate

something as big as the win with

my new brothers was a very

U17 footballers score World Cup spot

special and heartfelt moment for

me.” After narrowly beating New

Caledonia 3-2 in their opening

game, thanks to a hat-trick from

former Waimak United and

Nomads United player Supyk,

New Zealand then thrashed

American Samoa 11-0.

Murphy captained the side

into the knockout stages of the

tournament. “Playing with the

fern on my chest was one hell of

an achievement, but that feeling

of walking my team out and

captaining my side, my country,

is a feeling that will never

leave me. I was unbelievably

honoured and proud to do so,”

said Murphy. The team then

faced a well-organised Vanuatu

in the quarter-finals, but won

in the 90th-minute after Supyk

converted a penalty.

In the semis, New Zealand

comfortably beat host nation Fiji

4-1 to qualify for the upcoming

under-17 World Cup then won

the final to claim the trophy for

the eighth time in a row. Murphy

said the team had to dig deep in

the final. “The boys worked superhard

and put in shifts day-in-dayout

on and off the pitch, so for me

it was well deserved.”

Duff eyes up another national title

• By Allan Batt

THE NEW Zealand Sprintcar

Championship at Ruapuna

Speedway this weekend has

attracted 46 competitors – the

second largest in the event’s

52-year history.

Former winner Jamie Duff has

been somewhat inconsistent this

summer, showing lightening fast

pace but having a string of minor

mechanical issues. Last weekend

the Christchurch driver returned

to form, finishing second in the

New Zealand Sprintcar Grand

Prix at Cromwell, but he is under

no illusions how tough this

weekend’s racing will be.

The 32-year-old is keen to grab

another national championship

win, but said it’s a tough

proposition.

“You really need everything

to go your way. The 10-lap heat

races will be tough, and every

point on offer is vital. One

mechanical issue, an untimely

flat tyre or getting caught up in

someone else’s crash can make it

a tough road into the finals, but

we have found plenty of speed

in the car, and with the next

nationals in Christchurch being

six or seven years away we really

want to give this a good crack,”

Duff said.

A 30-year veteran, Canterbury

speedway driver Dave Kerr has

made the switch to sprintcars

and is upbeat about taking part.

PSYCHED: Former national sprintcar champion Jamie Duff is keen to reignite his form at Ruapuna this weekend.

Said Kerr: “(Sprintcars) are

big fields, they are big powerful

cars to drive, and a hell of a buzz

too. There is a real neat bunch of

people involved in the class too.

Most of my team were ready for

a change and a challenge – this

is it.”

Early in his career, Kerr

won the national minisprint

championship before moving up

into the powerful midget cars.

He went on to become the most

successful South Island driver in

that section of all time.

Ruapuna club president Rob

Roxburgh is confident that

despite only two South Islanders

winning the championship in

the past 37 years – Bruce Hobbs

in 1986 and Duff in 2015 – there

is enough ability in the mainland

ranks to get onto the podium.

One driver who has returned

home after spending most of

the summer racing in Auckland

is Canterbury’s Matthew

Leversedge. He says the

northerners may not have the

advantage they normally do.

“The weather up north has

made it a really disrupted

campaign. We are rapt to be back

at Ruapuna. I’m pretty familiar

with how the track changes as

the two nights of racing go on,”

Leversedge said.

Roxburgh said other

Canterbury drivers who have

showed great form recently

include Caleb Baughan, Steve

Duff, Jayden Dodge and Connor

Rangi.

“They are all young and fast.

Several years ago Connor was

the second top qualifier for the

championship at Cromwell. He

registers to his old hometown of

Nelson but he’s put in plenty of

laps at Ruapuna,” Roxburgh said.

“I think he has the temperament

to do well and he is being

mentored by American Jonathan

Allard.

“He’s really talented. We know

that Caleb and Steve won’t be

left wondering. They will give it

there all while Jayden was very

unlucky to be stripped of third

place in last weekend’s Grand

Prix on a technical issue. I

wouldn’t write these guys off.”

Roxburgh said three years of

planning has gone into making it

a memorable occasion.

•The racing will be held

on Saturday and Sunday

12km, 6km Community Fun Run Event

TRAINING PROGRAMME

WeeK four: upping the pace

This week we will step it up a bit more. The beginners group will progress to the stage that most of the walking is replaced by

slow jogging and the intermediate group are starting to incorporate some efforts in zone 2. Remember that zone 1 is perceived

as an easy effort which you can maintain for very long periods of time. In zone 2 you will get slightly puffed but you can still have a

conversation. You go from jogging in zone 1 to a proper running movement in zone 2 with the main difference being that zone

1 has a slower rhythm, staying low to the ground where as zone 2 brings extra spring in your step combined with an increase in

leg turnover (stride rate). The intermediate group introduces zone 2 pace as 2 minute repetitions alternated by 2 minute easy

jogging. Zone 2 to 3 will be the recommended pace for the City to Surf event for the intermediate group while the beginners

will mainly stay in zone 1 and 2.

The difference between walking and jogging is not only decided by the rhythm of the movement but also how and where you

land your feet. When jogging most efficiently you land on your mid-foot under the centre of gravity of the body, which, in the

upright position, is located in the pelvis just behind the midline of the body. With a slight forward lean of the body you can use

gravity to pull you forward while your legs keep you upright and push you in a forward direction. Walking is done in a more

upright position and most of us land on our heel first and roll over the outside of our foot before pushing off with our forefoot. It

helps to keep your core (lower abdomen, back, pelvis and hips) well supported by pushing your pelvis slightly forward. This will

stop you from “sitting” and over striding.

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

There is no need to bring fluids with you

during the sessions as you are not exercising

long and hard enough to cause serious

dehydration. Even on warm (north-west)

days it is sufficient to have a glass of water

or juice just before you go out. You can

re-hydrate on your return home, again with

water and/or a glass of fruit juice. Taking

fluids during exercise is generally not

required until you start to exceed 90 minutes

on a normal day and 60 minutes on a hot

day (temperatures above 25 degrees).

Advanced Care Plans

Have you thought about what care you

want to receive when you reach the end

of your life? During the course of our

lives we expend an enormous amount

of energy planning where we want to

live, what we want to achieve during our

lifetimes, but we don’t give much time or

thought to what we would like to happen

at the end of our lives.

If you have a major health event that

deprives you of the ability to make your

wishes known to your family or to the

health professionals responsible for your

care, taking some time now to discuss

what you want at the end of your life will

provide vital guidance if your loved ones

have to make those decisions for you.

An Advance Care Plan or Advance

Directive (“Advance Care Plan”) is a

way to help you communicate to your

loved ones your wishes about your future

health care and will help your loved

ones and your health care providers to

understand what is important to you

and what treatment you do or do not

want in the event that you are unable to

communicate with those around you.

Under the Code of Health and

Disability Services Consumers’ Rights

you have the right to use an Advance

Care Plan to make your health care

wishes known. Examples might be the

desire not to receive blood transfusions,

be resuscitated or kept alive with the use

of life support systems.

The Code gives a person, who

has capacity to make decisions for


themselves, the right to make an Advance

Care Plan. When deciding on whether

to follow your Advance Care Plan, your

health care professional will try to ensure

that:

• you had capacity at the time the

Advance Care Plan was made;

• you made your Advance Care Plan of

your own free will;

• you were informed and understood

the decisions you were making; and

• your Advance Care Plan applies to

the current circumstances, whatever they

may be.

To assist the treating team considering

these factors, you are encouraged to

complete the section in the Plan dealing

with your treatment and care choices

with your health care professional and

you both then sign and date this. The

completed Plan is entered onto an

electronic database which is available to

staff if you go into hospital or to St Johns

if you require assistance.

Talking about your Advance Care Plan

with your loved ones and in particular

your attorney for care and welfare, is

an important conversation. If you do

not have enduring powers of attorney

in place this would be a good time to

complete these deeds as an integral part

of your estate planning.

At Harmans we have a specialist seniors

team dealing with estate planning, give

Phillipa Shaw a call on 03 379 7835 to

arrange an appointment to discuss your

situation.

Suzuki with European flair and finesse

When you think of Suzuki

motor vehicles of all shapes and

sizes, you immediately think of

their origin from Japan.

Well, all models are

designed and engineered in

Japan, but Suzuki has a global

manufacturing infrastructure

that sees it source variants from a

wide periphery.

The Suzuki S-Cross is built in

europe, hungary to be exact, and

I must say it is all quality and feels

just so nice to be in.

The S-Cross has just entered a

new lifecycle, its shape is bolder,

sharper and has a lot more

presence on the road. It has also

received interior attention that

makes it completely state-of-theart,

it is modern fresh and fitted

with all of the character you want

when buying a new-age SuV.

I’ve long been a fan of the

S-Cross, early in its production it

arrived with the 1.6-litre engine

out of the Swift Sport and it was a

real cracker, I remember vividly a

trip I took in it to Queenstown to

watch an annual Gibbston Valley

rock concert.

In recent years the S-Cross has

shared its four-cylinder engine

with others in the Suzuki line-up,

it’s a 1.4-litre turbocharged unit

that first appeared here in Baleno.

This engine is also noteworthy,

it’s a strong unit at 103kW and

220nm, but its biggest claim to

fame is that of its economy.

Well that’s no surprise, Suzuki

has long been revered for its

ability to produce feisty, free-revving

engines that also sip fuel in

acceptable amounts in this age

where costs to fill up are forever

on everyone’s mind. In part, the

small capacity engines Suzuki

build so very well hark back to

the company’s motor-cycle heritage,

gleaning decent horsepower

out of small cylinders.

even though the S-Cross’ engine

likes to work freely, it doesn’t

need to be hunting towards

the top end. one of the major

benefits from today’s turbocharging

technology is the ability to

produce maximum torque from

low in the rev band.

In the S-Cross’ case peak power

is developed at just 5500rpm,

while torque is maximised

between 1500 and 4000rpm.

SUZUKI S-CROSS: Fresh face for 2023.

These figures mean the engine

doesn’t need to work hard, it is

a sweet unit that is honest and

quiet.

Acceleration is ushered in willingly

and swiftly when required

(0-1000km/h in 8.8sec) but such

is the sultry way the turbo boost

arrives it’s hard to tell there is

forced induction.

Drive is channelled through a

traditional six-speed automatic

transmission, if you want to be

involved in the gearing process

there is a paddle-shift sequential

system.

There are also variable drive

modes, there are no surprises

here, they are snow, normal and

sport, the latter livens throttle

response considerably.

In terms of fuel use, the Suzuki

claims 6.2-litre per 100km on a

combined cycle average, which

was very close to the 7l/100km

figure showing constantly on

the trip computer. At 100km/h

the engine turns over slowly at

1750rpm in sixth gear providing

a 5l/100km instantaneous return.

The evaluation car was what

Suzuki describes as an All-Grip

variant, it tops the line-up at

$41,990. Put simply, that means

drive is carried to all four-wheels,

normally it’s the front wheels that

do the work, power sent rearwards

when traction up front is

compromised.

The spring and damper rates

are such that the suspension is

firm enough to keep the tyres in

constant contact with the surface

when undulations off-road are

• Price – Suzuki S-Cross JLX,

$41,990

• Dimensions – Length,

4300mm; width, 1785mm;

height, 1585mm

• Configuration – Fourcylinder,

front-wheeldrive,

1373cc, 103kW,

220Nm, six-speed

automatic

• Performance –

0-100km/h, 8.8sec

• Fuel usage – 6.2l/100km

presented, yet there is a good

compliance when comfort is required

on a long on-road journey.

I covered more distance in

the S-Cross that I had intended,

showing up to 280km on the

odometer when I returned it to

the dealership. Most of that was

on highway travel and I felt fresh

and relaxed after a long inland

journey.

When spending a lot of time

inside the car you become quite

familiar with the layout of the

controls and the specification

built into the vehicle. I can report

the S-Cross wants for nothing, it

gets all the modern kit for comfort,

convenience and safety.

Suzuki builds cars for the

masses and it sells well here. I’m

sure with its dramatic new looks

it will continue to lure those who

want something just that little bit

different from their SuV.

The Star Classifieds

Situations Business for Vacant Sale

Building in a housing subdivision

invariably means the developer will require

you to submit a landscaping plan along

with your house design, to be approved

before building commences.

Just as important as considering

the features for your home will be

your outdoor setting. Indoor/outdoor

requirements will influence your choice

of house design and how it will be sited

on the section for a sunny yard and best

protection from prevailing winds like the

easterly. Having a second courtyard area

offering shelter from the north-west wind

is also an advantage in Selwyn.

A well thought out landscape plan will

also incorporate off-street parking space

for vehicles while ensuring your home

is attractive from the street. You might

want to factor in parking for a caravan,

motorhome or extra vehicles as well as a

turning circle for safe turning and exiting

your property (a legal requirement for

back sections).

The developer will only want to see a

landscape outline for the part of your

property which will be on view from the

street.

When choosing the design for your

home, address where you want hard

surfaces (driveway, paths and patios),

lawn, play areas and garden beds so it is

suitably positioned on the section. Even if

not all hard surface areas are completed at

the end of the build, knowing where they

will be located will be helpful.

If your build is nearing completion,

autumn is a good time to sow grass as the

cooler morning and evening dew assists

growth. As winter descends on us, ready

throughout lawn is a better Christchurch

option at least at the front

of the section, which the developer will

require to be completed before moving in.

Your backyard could be left until spring

Landscaping enhances

new & existing homes

Landscaping presents a good first

impression, attracting buyers.

(another good time for seeding a lawn) if

you are happy to put up with the mud over

winter.

When selling an existing home, putting

effort into landscaping your yard could add

value by presenting a good first impression

and attracting buyers.

You need not rip out overgrown

established plants. Selective culling and

pruning can make a huge difference

to the look of a garden. Avoid hacking

everything down low. Instead take out

sprawling branches and thin shoots,

leaving a solid trunk; planting flowers like

lobelia, primula, pansies and polyanthus

underneath for impact. Add a layer of

mulch and spray the lawn for weeds then

follow up with lawn fertiliser to give a lush

green look.

The first thing people see is your home’s

exterior – the cladding, colours and

landscaping. Putting effort into these

features has the potential to add value to

new and existing properties. A garden

need not be masses of work. Planning and

choosing the right plants for the location

and your lifestyle can create a relatively

low maintenance outdoor setting while

enhancing your home.
