Bins, charity boxes part of<br />
rubbish system review<br />
KERBSIDE BIN sizes and<br />
issues caused by dumping<br />
rubbish outside of charity boxes<br />
are under review.<br />
Consultation opened this<br />
week on the proposed Draft<br />
Waste Management and<br />
Minimisation Bylaw 2<strong>02</strong>3<br />
bylaw, which allows regulation<br />
of all waste collection services<br />
and operations.<br />
Currently the city council<br />
has two waste bylaws – the<br />
Waste Management Bylaw 2009<br />
and the Cleanfill and Waste<br />
Handling Operations Bylaw<br />
2015.<br />
manager Ross Trotter said the<br />
current bylaws were legally due<br />
for review in 2<strong>02</strong>5.<br />
“However, we decided to<br />
review them sooner to ensure<br />
they remain fit for purpose.<br />
Following the review we<br />
proposed new one,” he said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> new bylaw is consistent<br />
with recent changes to<br />
regulations under the Waste<br />
Minimisation Act and our<br />
climate resilience strategy. It<br />
including the goal to move<br />
towards zero waste.”<br />
Trotter said the proposed<br />
changes will provide greater<br />
flexibility. “Some of the<br />
City council resource recovery<br />
decided to replace the two<br />
existing bylaws with the<br />
will also assist in achieving<br />
our Waste Management and<br />
Minimisation Plan 2<strong>02</strong>0,<br />
proposed changes wil legally<br />
enable us to adapt our services<br />
easier in the future.”<br />

STOPPED: An armed<br />
cordon similar to this one,<br />
set up after the arrest of<br />
the March 15 terrorist,<br />
resulted in the arrest of a<br />
man with $160,000 worth<br />
of methamphetamine and<br />
more than $100,000 cash.<br />

• By Sam Sherwood<br />
WHEN YOU have $160,000 of<br />
methamphetamine, $108,860<br />
in cash and a sawn-off rifle in<br />
your car the last thing you want<br />
to run into is a major police<br />
operation.<br />
But that is what happened<br />
to Benjamin Jaye Smith, who<br />
was stopped in an armed<br />
police cordon in Spreydon on<br />
March 15, 2019 – the day of the<br />
mosque terror attacks.<br />
Police were not looking<br />
for him, but other potential<br />
terrorists after they had other<br />
captured the gunman nearby in<br />
Brougham St.<br />
<strong>The</strong> case can be revealed<br />
following guilty pleas by Smith<br />
in the district court. Smith is<br />
set to be sentenced on May 24,<br />
2<strong>02</strong>3.<br />
According to the summary<br />
of facts, as the mosque gunman<br />
was arrested in Brougham St<br />
he indicated to police he had<br />
bombs inside his car.<br />
Armed cordon points were<br />
set up to secure and contain a<br />
250m area radius of his car<br />
due to the IED in the boot of<br />
his car, and the possibility it<br />
may explode prior to being<br />
made safe.<br />
<strong>The</strong> terrorist also told police<br />
there were nine active shooters<br />
in the city. Police staff were<br />
advised there were likely other<br />
people and vehicles outstanding<br />
in relation to the shootings.<br />
About 3.30pm Smith was<br />
driving his car in a northerly<br />
direction on Strickland St.<br />
An armed police officer<br />
stationed at a cordon point<br />
on Strickland St heard his car<br />
approaching the cordon at<br />
speed and believed the car was<br />
not going to stop.<br />
As Smith came around<br />
a blind corner, he stopped<br />
abruptly behind a row of cars<br />
already at the cordon point.<br />
An armed police officer<br />
approached Smith’s car and<br />
conducted an armed vehicle<br />
stop. He then invoked a Search<br />
and Surveillance Act search of<br />
the car after seeing the butt of a<br />
sawn-off rifle in the boot.<br />
<strong>The</strong> officer found a sawn-off<br />
.22 calibre pistol about 750mm<br />
in length with one round of<br />
ammunition in the chamber. A<br />
silencer was also located in the<br />
car.<br />
Inside the magazine attached<br />
to the pistol were five rounds of<br />
.22 calibre ammunition.<br />
<strong>The</strong> car was then towed and<br />
secured at the Christchurch<br />
South Police Station.<br />
<strong>The</strong> following day police<br />
searched the car again.<br />
Inside was an electronic cash<br />
counting machine and a sentry<br />
safe containing $108,860 cash<br />
and 921 grams of methamphetamine.<br />
<strong>The</strong> methamphetamine was<br />
worth about $160,000.<br />
Text messages revealed Smith<br />
supplied controlled drugs, likely<br />
to be methamphetamine, to<br />
a person who then sold it to<br />
various people in the Tasman<br />
area.<br />

THE COMPETITION was as<br />
hot as the water was cold, but<br />
Hannah Drury still managed to<br />
swim her way to world record<br />
success.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 44-year-old said four<br />
months of bathing in her garage<br />
chest freezer had paid off, as she<br />
arrived back home in Canterbury<br />
last week with two gold medals<br />
from the world ice-swimming<br />
championships in Samoëns,<br />
France.<br />
She won gold in the 100mbutterfly,<br />
where she recorded an<br />
age-group world record time of<br />
1min 33.69sec, and the 100m<br />
individual medley, where she recorded<br />
an age-group world record<br />
time of 1min 33.07sec.<br />
“I am really proud of what I<br />
achieved and I didn’t think I<br />
would swim as fast as I did. I<br />
certainly never expected to win<br />
two gold medals in record times,”<br />
Drury said.<br />
Her training regime involved<br />
sitting in her freezer filled with<br />
ice-cold water for up to six<br />
minutes a day.<br />
“I definitely think it helped,<br />
because once I got into the lake,<br />
which was about three degrees, I<br />
didn’t bat an eyelid at the cold. It<br />
was more about getting on with<br />
fast swimming.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> competition was “fierce”<br />
with more than 350 swimmers<br />
from about 40 countries.<br />
<strong>The</strong> lake water temperature<br />
had been “perfect” at 3-4 deg C,<br />
in spite of unseasonably mild<br />
weather across Europe.<br />
<strong>The</strong> New Zealand team of eight<br />
swimmers finished ninth on<br />
the medal table, bringing home<br />
10 golds, four silvers and two<br />
bronzes.<br />
Drury said she and her team<br />
members had an “awesome<br />
time” in Samoëns and enjoyed<br />
the supportive and friendly<br />
atmosphere in “the frozen<br />
village”.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> New Zealand team were<br />
well recognised, and the other<br />
teams loved how we were so tightknit<br />
and had travelled so far to be<br />
there,” she said.<br />
A memorable moment was<br />
when one of the team members<br />
lost their togs during a race.<br />
“Thankfully they were not<br />
disqualified.”<br />
Drury said she was looking<br />
forward to the upcoming<br />
competitions in New Zealand<br />
over winter, the first of which is<br />
in July at St Bathans in Central<br />
Otago.<br />
She had not yet returned to<br />
bathing in her freezer, but was<br />
not ruling it out in the next few<br />
weeks, especially as she wanted<br />
to stay acclimatised to the cold<br />
conditions.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> freezer is still there ready<br />
for me to get in,” she said.<br />

Property prices hold up against the trend<br />
• By Nona Pettelier<br />
PROPERTY PRICES in<br />
Christchurch have fallen just<br />
one per cent over the last year,<br />
while other major centres have<br />
suffered a marked drop.<br />
Wellington was down 18.1 per<br />
cent, Auckland 8.2 per cent and<br />
Dunedin 10 per cent, January’s<br />
CoreLogic House Price Index<br />
shows. House prices fell in all<br />
the major centres and regions,<br />
apart from Gisborne, New<br />
Plymouth and Queenstown.<br />
<strong>The</strong> index saw residential<br />
property values fall 7.2 per cent<br />
over the year earlier, which was<br />
the biggest 12-month decline<br />
since May 2009’s drop of 7.9 per<br />
cent. Further falls of between 15<br />
and 20 per cent expected in the<br />
second half of this year.<br />
However, CoreLogic chief<br />
property economist Kelvin<br />
Davidson said last month’s drop<br />
was smaller than the worst of<br />
the global financial crisis, when<br />
prices fell 9.7 per cent in the year<br />
to March 2009.<br />
He said the green shoots of<br />
optimism seen in October and<br />
November evaporated following<br />
the Reserve Bank’s gloomy<br />
monetary policy statement in<br />
late November, which pointed<br />
to rising interest rates and a<br />
recession from the middle of<br />
this year.<br />

DRUM BANGS FOR<br />
LOUDER LIVE MUSIC<br />
People wanting live venues in the<br />
central city to be allowed to play<br />
louder music have taken their<br />
case to the city council. A petition<br />
signed by just over 3500 people<br />
was presented to city councillors<br />
at their meeting yesterday. <strong>The</strong><br />
petition is the latest move in the<br />
saga over live music in the central<br />
city after bar Dux Central in<br />
Lichfield St had to drop live music<br />
after a new neighbour complained<br />
about the noise. <strong>The</strong> petition<br />
was presented to city councillors<br />
by musician Mark Chirnside. It<br />
calls for the maximum permitted<br />
decibels within the central city to<br />
be raised from 60dB to 140dB.<br />
FEEDBACK SOUGHT OVER<br />
CATTLE BARNS<br />
Residents will be given the chance<br />
to give feedback on a farmer’s<br />
consent application to build<br />
four large indoor cattle barns on<br />
Banks Peninsula. Farm company<br />
Wongan Hills has applied<br />
for consents to Environment<br />
Canterbury to build four large<br />
composting feed farms on their<br />
Kaituna Valley farm – which<br />
could hold up to 2200 cattle –<br />
near Te Waihora Lake Ellesmere.<br />
<strong>The</strong> four large sheds would house<br />
the cattle 24 hours a day, yearround.<br />
Local community group<br />
Little River Eco Collective has<br />
been vocal in opposition to the<br />
proposed barns – saying they will<br />
have detrimental effects on the<br />
local environment.<br />
PRINTING UP A STINK<br />
Two Canterbury University<br />
students Joel Tregurtha and Te<br />
Matau O Te Rangi Allen have<br />
spent their summer developing<br />
and 3D printing a model stink<br />
bug. <strong>The</strong> project has seen the<br />
development of a prototype larger<br />
than life-size model of the brown<br />
marmorated stink bug, which is<br />
about the size of a 10 cent coin.<br />
<strong>The</strong> stink bug is an east Asian<br />
bug now found in North and<br />
South America and Europe. It<br />
is a particularly difficult pest to<br />
eradicate and control, devastating<br />
horticulture and causing a<br />
nuisance overwintering in homes.<br />
As a hitchhiker, the risk of it<br />
arriving in New Zealand is high.<br />

from his sales and regularly report<br />
back to Smith and deposit cash<br />

Smith.<br />
<strong>The</strong> summary of facts said<br />
Smith was a supplier of “significant<br />
quantities of methamphetamine”<br />
to at least six different<br />
people between <strong>February</strong> 1 and<br />
March 15, 2019. <strong>The</strong> cash turnover<br />

More homes affected by sea level rise<br />
• By Tony Simons<br />
A NEW assessment on the<br />
threat of sea level rise means the<br />
number of ‘at risk’ properties<br />
in the city, on Banks Peninsula<br />
and along Pegasus Bay coast has<br />
increased by nearly 20 per cent.<br />
<strong>The</strong> coastal hazards assessment<br />
report for the city council, undertaken<br />
by environmental consultancy<br />
company Tonkin+Taylor,<br />
has identified 5400 more vulnerable<br />
properties across Christchurch,<br />
including 1500 more on the<br />
peninsula.<br />
<strong>The</strong> changes<br />
mean there are now<br />
32,800 properties<br />
across greater<br />
Christchurch considered<br />
in danger<br />
Mark<br />
Stevenson<br />
from coastal flooding<br />
or erosion.<br />
Another 3900<br />
properties in low<br />
lying suburbs like Linwood,<br />
Burwood and Heathcote, and<br />
adjacent to Pegasus Bay coastline,<br />
have also been added, said city<br />
council acting head of planning<br />
and consents Mark Stevenson.<br />
<strong>The</strong> latest assessment included<br />
more of Banks Peninsula than<br />
was included in a previous<br />
assessment in 2017, “leading to<br />
1500 more properties in that<br />
area being identified at risk,”<br />
Stevenson said.<br />
CLIMATE CHANGE: Another 1500 properties on Banks Peninsula are at risk from sea level<br />
rise, a new assessment shows.<br />
PHOTO: GETTY<br />
Most of the newly classified<br />
properties are in Diamond<br />
Harbour, Duvauchelle, Le Bons<br />
Bay, Lyttelton, Okains Bay and<br />
Wainui. In each area more than<br />
100 properties have been newly<br />
identified at risk, said Stevenson.<br />
Other areas affected include<br />
Birdlings Flat, Governors Bay,<br />
Little River, Motukarara, Pigeon<br />
Bay and Port Levy, but to a lesser<br />
extent.<br />
Property owners have had<br />
the information added to their<br />
Land Information Memorandum<br />
(LIM) so they are aware of the<br />
risk. <strong>The</strong> city council has also<br />
sent letters to property owners<br />
with the latest information<br />
included.<br />
“We appreciate this is not<br />
welcome news for some residents,<br />
but we wanted to let people know<br />
what information is held by the<br />
council for their<br />
property,” said city<br />
council general<br />
manager infrastructure,<br />
planning and<br />
regulatory services<br />
Jane Davis.<br />
It is critical<br />
people have good<br />
Jane<br />
Davis<br />
information about the current<br />
and predicted future impacts on<br />
individual properties, she said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> latest assessment, provided<br />
to the city council in 2<strong>02</strong>1, applied<br />
different methods and used<br />
more data.<br />
It used “a different and improved<br />
methodology, updated input<br />
data, and a wider geographic<br />
area has been used . . . leading<br />
to different outcomes for some<br />
properties,” Davis said.<br />
For some properties, including<br />
some at Southshore, this has<br />
meant a lower assessed risk than<br />
in 2017.<br />
Said Stevenson: “It’s important<br />
to understand that this recent<br />
notification . . . adds to existing<br />
coastal hazards LIM comments<br />
from the 2017 Coastal Hazards<br />
Assessment.”<br />

Suspected murder-suicide of elderly<br />
Three years after his<br />
parents died in a<br />
suspected murdersuicide,<br />
one question<br />
still haunts their<br />
youngest son. Sam<br />
Sherwood reports<br />
SEAN FEARY was sitting at<br />
home in Washington when his<br />
29-year-old daughter called from<br />
Christchurch. Clearly distressed<br />
she immediately said, “Grandma<br />
and Granddad have been<br />
murdered”.<br />
Feary tried to reassure her<br />
and said she was wrong and that<br />
they were fine. She then told him<br />
about news articles that showed<br />
his parents’ home in Christchurch<br />
and reports that two bodies<br />
had been found.<br />
He told her to head straight to<br />
the scene and talk to the police officers<br />
there. When she arrived, she<br />
called her dad again and he spoke<br />
with a police officer at the scene.<br />
<strong>The</strong> officer explained how<br />
Feary’s father, Bill Feary, 80, had<br />
called the police about 4am on<br />
September 30, 2019, and told the<br />
operator he had killed his ailing<br />
77-year-old wife Jill, and was<br />
intending on self harming.<br />
A police negotiation team and<br />
armed offenders squad rushed<br />
to the property immediately.<br />
After breaking in they found the<br />
couple dead.<br />
<strong>The</strong> district’s top police officer<br />
said at the time the deaths were<br />
an “absolute tragedy”.<br />
Feary, speaking to the Herald<br />
on Sunday for the first time,<br />
says he has no doubt the couple<br />
planned their deaths.<br />
“To me it’s like a Romeo and<br />
Juliet story. Mum couldn’t take<br />
anymore and he couldn’t live<br />
without her. She was his whole<br />
life.<br />
“I couldn’t have asked for<br />
better parents.”<br />
Sean Feary was born in<br />
Wellington but the family,<br />
including his older brother,<br />
soon moved to Christchurch.<br />
Bill Feary, who was the boys’<br />
stepfather, raised them from<br />
when Feary was about eight.<br />
“Dad made me the man I am<br />
today, he was awesome,” Feary<br />
says.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y always took us on little<br />
holidays and things like that,<br />
it was just normal Kiwi life. It<br />
MISSED: Sean Feary (above)<br />
is adamant his parents Jill<br />
and Bill Feary planned their<br />
deaths.<br />

was great.”<br />
Bill Feary spent most of his<br />
career in broadcasting as a rigger,<br />
before moving to Christchurch<br />
and working for a flooring<br />
company and then taking up a<br />
job as a bus driver before retiring.<br />
Jill Feary worked at a local<br />
clothing apparel company until<br />
she retired.<br />
Sean Feary moved to the US<br />
when he was 30, but kept in constant<br />
contact with his parents.<br />
Jill Feary’s retirement was<br />
marred by health issues including<br />
chronic obstructive pulmonary<br />
disease – an inflammatory lung<br />
disease that causes obstructed<br />
airflow from the lungs – as well<br />
as a virus that injured her heart.<br />
This was followed by breast cancer,<br />
which required her to have a<br />
mastectomy in her mid-60s.<br />
Despite the major operation,<br />
she made sure she was able to<br />
travel to see her son and celebrate<br />
his 40th birthday.<br />
However, she never fully healed<br />
from the surgery, with complications<br />
that would continue for the<br />
last 12 years of her life. Near the<br />
end, she had pneumonia.<br />
Feary says his mum was too<br />
stubborn to have someone come<br />
and care for her.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re was no way that mum<br />
was going to have someone<br />
changing a nappy or bathing her<br />
because she went through it with<br />
my grandmother and there was<br />
no dignity in that,” he says.<br />
“She was definitely suffering,<br />
and I could tell when I spoke to<br />
her she was in a lot of pain.”<br />
Her health issues continued<br />
to worsen and she had to visit<br />
the hospital two or three times a<br />
week.<br />
“She loved the Christchurch<br />
Hospital staff,” her son says.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y did nothing but take<br />
care of her.”<br />
Sean Feary is adamant his parents<br />
planned their deaths.<br />
Bill Feary, who took on the<br />
role of caring for Jill, became<br />
more protective of his wife as her<br />
condition worsened.

“He didn’t want her stressing<br />
out, didn’t want her doing too<br />
much. He did all the cooking,<br />
he babied her, and he really took<br />
care of mum a lot, above and<br />
beyond.<br />
“He adored her, she was his<br />
soulmate.”<br />
Bill Feary would often email<br />
him with updates about his<br />
mother’s health. <strong>The</strong> last email<br />
was to inform him she had<br />
pneumonia.<br />
Feary got a call from his mum<br />
in March 2019 asking him to<br />
come home as she missed him<br />
and wanted to see him. He did<br />
so, spending a few weeks with<br />
the couple, and he said aside<br />
from the health issues the couple<br />
appeared to be fine.<br />
“Dad was still goofy as ever.”<br />
Feary’s last conversation<br />
with his parents – who had<br />
10 grandchildren and nine<br />
great-grandchildren – was just a<br />
“normal phone call”, he recalls.<br />
“Mum and Dad were just<br />
joking around.”<br />
He was supposed to call them<br />
the following weekend but<br />
forgot. <strong>The</strong> next day he was on<br />
the phone with the policeman<br />
who was telling him about his<br />
parents’ deaths.<br />
“It was such a shock; I just<br />
went numb.”<br />
After consoling his wife and<br />
children, he booked flights and<br />
HOME: <strong>The</strong> Burnside house where Bill and Jill Feary died<br />
in a suspected murder-suicide.<br />

was in Christchurch within two<br />
days.<br />
Immediately after touching<br />
down, he went to identify his<br />
parents at Christchurch Hospital<br />
before going to their home.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> police were brilliant. I<br />
got there and it was like nothing<br />
had happened; they repaired the<br />
house.”<br />
In the bedroom Feary would<br />
stay in when he visited was a<br />
large bag on the bed. Inside<br />
was his children’s favourite<br />
chocolate, jet plane lollies for<br />
him, socks for his wife, and<br />
photos of his children. He is<br />
convinced his mum left it all for<br />
him shortly before she died.<br />
“I know Mum knew what<br />
was going on. Dad wouldn’t<br />
have done that, that was Mum<br />
through and through.”<br />
A will was also left in the<br />
living room.<br />
Feary spent about a month<br />
in Christchurch, dealing with<br />
police and lawyers and sorting<br />
the family home.<br />
“I didn’t really have time to<br />
grieve. My whole time there<br />
was just dealing with what had<br />
happened.”<br />
He credits Victim Support<br />
staff for helping him come to<br />
terms with his parents’ death<br />
while he was in the country.<br />
Three years on, Feary, now<br />
54, is still coming to terms<br />
with what happened. A private<br />
person, he does not like<br />
speaking about it too often<br />
and tries to stay busy, but<br />
admits there are times when<br />
the emotions just come to him,<br />
seemingly out of nowhere.<br />
“I miss them every day. I<br />
will be driving to work in my<br />
van and it’ll just hit me again.<br />
Sometimes I have a tear and a<br />
wee bit of a cry and I’ll be like<br />
why? Just out of the blue. It’s one<br />
of those things,” he says.<br />
“I’m just grateful that I’ve got<br />
great kids and my wife has been<br />
nothing but supportive.”<br />
Asked how he feels towards<br />
his father, he says he loves him<br />
and holds no ill will for what<br />
happened.<br />
“Dad was pretty healthy and<br />
he just would not want to live<br />
without Mum. I don’t know<br />
many men that would’ve gone<br />
through what he went through<br />
and completely stick behind<br />
Mum 100 per cent in the way he<br />
took care of her.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y loved each other so<br />
much.”<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are still some<br />
unanswered questions for Feary,<br />
which he hopes a coroner’s<br />
report will one day solve.<br />
But the most important<br />
question, that still haunts him, is<br />
about his mum.<br />
“I want to make sure my mum<br />
never suffered and that she was<br />
at peace.<br />
“It would be closure because I<br />
keep thinking about it.”<br />

Another twist in the Cave Rock<br />
• By Tony Simons<br />
THE FUTURE of one of the<br />
most desirable coastal building<br />
sites in Christchurch is up in the<br />
air – yet again.<br />
<strong>The</strong> controversial and<br />
troublesome 4186m 2 site facing<br />
the beach at the entrance to<br />
Sumner village has been<br />
fenced bare land for years, except<br />
for a tavern building with a<br />
large derelict and often-flooded<br />
basement car park underneath.<br />
One of the owners, Lime<br />
Developments, has refused to<br />
comment on its latest plans but<br />
it appears a 2<strong>02</strong>1 a proposal to<br />
build apartments with a wine bar<br />
underneath, alongside a private<br />
residence, have evaporated.<br />
Another shareholder, developer<br />
Shane Kennedy, had been in<br />
talks with the city council, saying<br />
he intended to start building in<br />
2<strong>02</strong>1. A resource consent was<br />
granted last year but now a new<br />
resource consent application<br />
has been lodged for a larger<br />
complex called <strong>The</strong> Marriner. It<br />
proposes 14 apartments and six<br />
commercial units covering the<br />
entire western half of the site.<br />
Kennedy has also declined to<br />
comment on the latest plans.<br />
For more than 25 years the former<br />
Cave Rock Apartments site<br />
has been plagued with conflict,<br />
bitterness, controversy and bad<br />
luck. It started in the mid-1990s<br />
when plans for a 49-apartment<br />
Peter Beavan-designed complex<br />
was first announced by developer<br />
PRIME PROPERTY:<br />
<strong>The</strong> 4186m 2 site at the<br />
entrance to Sumner<br />
village as it looks today.<br />
Left – the quake-damaged<br />
apartment complex before<br />
it was demolished in 2012.<br />
Peter Foster, and neighbours<br />
objected. <strong>The</strong>y were finally approved<br />
and the complex was built<br />
in 1998.<br />
Just a few years later problems<br />
emerged as many of the apartments<br />
were found to have design<br />
defects and were leaky buildings.<br />
An agreement had to be negotiated<br />
with the city council and the<br />
builder to repair them.<br />
Mainzeal was about to start repairs<br />
when the <strong>February</strong> 22, 2011,<br />
earthquake struck and the main<br />
block was abandoned soon after.<br />
<strong>The</strong> entire complex then<br />
became the subject of a long and<br />
bitter dispute between the owners,<br />
and with EQC and NZI (part<br />
of IAG) over how to repair the<br />
buildings and flooded basement<br />
car park at the eastern end of the<br />
site. <strong>The</strong> complex continued to<br />
suffer after the quakes, Mainzeal<br />
went bust, and architect Peter<br />
Beavan died aged 86 from cancer<br />
caused by asbestos. <strong>The</strong> main<br />
block was finally demolished in<br />
2012.<br />
In 2016, the owners rejected<br />
a $16 million full and final<br />
settlement offer from the insurers<br />
and two more years went by<br />
before they finally settled at<br />
mediation on the eve of High<br />
Court action for an undisclosed<br />
sum. A plan to rebuild the main<br />
block was then abandoned after<br />
costs escalated and, in 2018, a<br />
conditional offer to purchase the<br />
property as-is-where-is for $4.8m<br />
was accepted. More in-fighting<br />
followed as four apartment<br />
owners, unhappy with how the<br />
money was to be distributed,<br />
refused to sell. <strong>The</strong>y included the<br />
original developer, Peter Foster.<br />

<strong>The</strong> High Court was called on<br />
to settle that dispute, too, ordering<br />
them to sell. <strong>The</strong>n, even more<br />
dispute and legal action over the<br />
agreed purchase price after vandals<br />
damaged the buildings.<br />
When it was all over, owners<br />
were finally paid the last of the<br />
proceeds in April 2<strong>02</strong>1, but not<br />
before 14 of the original residents<br />
had died in the meantime.<br />
<strong>The</strong> purchaser Jonathan Lyttle<br />
of Citadel Property said at the<br />
time he was excited about taking<br />
over the site.<br />
“We are really happy for the<br />
members of the body corporate<br />
and owners who have been<br />
through quite an ordeal,” he said.<br />
However, not long after, he<br />
demolished the remaining apartments<br />
and in mid-2<strong>02</strong>0 the land<br />
was divided into five plots, later<br />
changed to four, in a process complicated<br />
by a stormwater easement<br />
running through the middle of<br />
the site.<br />
<strong>The</strong> sections were marketed<br />
for a while as sites for owner-occupiers<br />
or builders, but only one<br />
sold. Concrete foundations were<br />
poured for the private residence<br />
and locals said timber framing<br />
and trusses turned up on site but<br />
soon after, they were taken away<br />
again.<br />
Marriner Developments then<br />
acquired the entire site.<br />
Several resource consents have<br />
been applied for and granted for<br />
the site over the past few years, the<br />
most recent late last year which<br />
the city council is reviewing.<br />
City council planners said<br />
they cannot confirm when the<br />
latest application for a mixed use<br />
complex might be considered.<br />

Boy’s close call with irrigator<br />
• By Susan Sandys<br />
A BOY FACES a slow recovery<br />
after being seriously injured by<br />
a lawn irrigator while playing in<br />
a park.<br />
Ten-year-old Jayden sustained<br />
a depressed skull fracture and<br />
bleed on the brain after being hit<br />
on his head by a rotating arm of<br />
the machine.<br />
He was visiting Southbridge<br />
Domain playground with his<br />
grandmother Angela Slade and<br />
eight-year-old cousin Emily.<br />
Angela said the visit to the<br />
park suddenly became a life-anddeath<br />
situation after Jayden was<br />
attracted to water around the<br />
travelling roto-rainer irrigator in<br />
hot weather. He was struck as he<br />
stood up after slipping.<br />
Angela said at first she had not<br />
noticed Jayden had wandered<br />
about 15m away to play under<br />
the irrigator on an adjoining<br />
rugby field. As she unpacked<br />
food onto a picnic table, she<br />
heard “a horrible, horrible<br />
scream”.<br />
“That’s when I turned around,<br />
he was just getting back up again<br />
and the bar nearly got him again.<br />
I’m like: ‘Get out, get out’.”<br />
Angela said while she had earlier<br />
pointed out to the children<br />
a single caution sign nearby<br />
saying ‘Potentially Dangerous<br />
Equipment’, this had obviously<br />
not been enough to keep Jayden<br />
away.<br />
Jayden was in extreme pain<br />
after the accident and began<br />
vomiting. He was taken to<br />
Christchurch Hospital by ambulance.<br />
Mum Sarah Whittaker said<br />
doctors at first thought he had<br />
SERIOUS<br />
INJURY: Jayden<br />
was taken by<br />
ambulance to<br />
Christchurch<br />
Hospital after<br />
being hit by<br />
the arm of<br />
a roto-rainer<br />
irrigator.<br />
severe concussion, but they were<br />
as surprised as she was when<br />
a CT scan showed a depressed<br />
skull fracture and bleed on the<br />
brain.<br />
Last week he had a craniotomy,<br />
where a 10cm long piece of bone<br />
from his forehead was removed<br />
and replaced with a plate. He<br />
may have to have more surgeries<br />
to replace the plate as he grows.<br />
He was discharged at the weekend,<br />
and is expected to make a<br />
full recovery. But that recovery<br />
will be slow as he suffers the<br />
head injury effects of fatigue,<br />
headaches, irritability and light<br />
sensitivity. He will be at school<br />
only part-time throughout term<br />
one.<br />
Whittaker said she was glad to<br />
hear the Selwyn District Council<br />
had removed all such irrigators<br />
from operation in parks and<br />
reserves. She said while the caution<br />
sign had been pointed out<br />
to Jayden, he would not have absorbed<br />
the information due to a<br />
learning disability and dyslexia.<br />
“I don’t want it to happen to<br />
anybody else,” she said.<br />
Selwyn District council group<br />
manager infrastructure and<br />
property Murray Washington<br />
said while in operation the<br />
irrigator had three caution<br />
signs “placed at different points<br />
around the reserve to alert people<br />
approaching from different<br />
directions.”<br />
“This type of irrigator is<br />
common in rural areas and has<br />
been used by the council for<br />
around 30 years without incident<br />
to our knowledge. We plan<br />
to replace them with modern<br />
technology water cannon type<br />
irrigators, which will minimise<br />
any future risk to the public.”<br />
A $37 million dollar idea<br />
ignited in Christchurch and<br />
fuelled by an ecosystem.<br />
If you haven’t heard of Partly,<br />
this time will not be the last.<br />

‘One day I will get you’:<br />
Business owner jailed<br />
for attempted rape<br />
CONVICTED:<br />
Owner of Gerald<br />
Diver Painter<br />
& Decorator,<br />
Gerald Diver,<br />
preyed on two<br />
of his former<br />
employees.<br />

• By Emily Moorhouse<br />
THE OWNER of a painting<br />
business repeatedly smacked<br />
the bottom of one of his young<br />
female employees and told<br />
another “one day I will get you”<br />
before plying her with vodka and<br />
attempting to rape her during a<br />
work trip.<br />
Gerald Mark Diver’s victims<br />
said his unwanted sexual behaviour<br />
towards them became<br />
“normal” and it was often passed<br />
off by him as “workplace banter”.<br />
But on Monday, the 53-yearold<br />
owner of Gerald Diver Painter<br />
& Decorator was sentenced in<br />
the district court to four years<br />
and four months in jail, after the<br />
two women revealed his offending<br />
and brought to an end his<br />
workplace harassment.<br />
<strong>The</strong> first former employee,<br />
referred to in court as victim<br />
A, said she had become “numb<br />
and immune” to Diver slapping<br />
her bottom. After experiencing<br />
the assault almost daily for<br />
several years, it became normal<br />
behaviour, she said.<br />
He would also make comments<br />
to her such as “you’re<br />
looking good today”.<br />
<strong>The</strong> woman felt “unworthy<br />
and belittled”. Diver paid her<br />
minimum wage and told her she<br />
wasn’t worth more, despite her<br />
being a qualified painter. She<br />
eventually resigned.<br />
As she began to believe Diver’s<br />
treatment of her was standard,<br />
other men started disrespecting<br />
her too.<br />
She didn’t speak up about the<br />
assaults while employed by him<br />
as she feared her voice would not<br />
be heard over that of her boss’.<br />
Victim B told the court she<br />
was once a “strong, jovial and<br />
happy painter” who was handpicked<br />
by Diver to work for his<br />
company.<br />
But he would later sack her<br />
after she confronted him about<br />
attempting to rape her.<br />
<strong>The</strong> experience lingered in<br />
her new relationships, making<br />
it difficult for her to trust. Panic<br />
attacks and flashbacks became<br />
a common occurrence and she<br />
missed out on celebrating milestones<br />
with her loved ones.<br />
“Gerald Diver deserves to<br />
feel the full force of the justice<br />
system given the offence of the<br />
crimes he inflicted on me and<br />
his other victims,” she said in her<br />
victim impact statement.<br />
Diver had once been overheard<br />
by victim A telling victim B “I<br />
will sleep with you one day”. . .<br />
“one day I will get you”.<br />
In September 2<strong>02</strong>0, victim<br />
B and Diver travelled north of<br />
Christchurch for an overnight<br />
work trip. <strong>The</strong>y were staying in a<br />
shared motel unit with separate<br />
bedrooms.<br />
Following a day’s work,<br />
they had dinner together and<br />
Diver bought a one-litre bottle of<br />
vodka which they drank in the<br />
games room of the motel.<br />
Victim B said she got drunk<br />
“really fast” and Diver began<br />
saying “vile” things to her of a<br />
sexual nature and told her to<br />
keep drinking.<br />
After they left the games room<br />
Diver tried to pull her into the<br />
motel unit despite her repeatedly<br />
saying “no” and pushing him<br />
away.<br />
She recalled him becoming<br />
aggressive and continuing to pull<br />
her before she blacked out in a<br />
bedroom.<br />
<strong>The</strong> next morning she woke<br />
to find she was not wearing any<br />
tights or underwear. She could<br />
recall being held down, unable to<br />
move or see anything and feeling<br />
a “massive” weight on her.<br />
At the time, victim B didn’t say<br />
anything to Diver about what<br />
had happened but a few days<br />
later she raised it with him and<br />
stated she did not want to work<br />
alongside him that week.<br />
Diver told her nothing happened<br />
and she was “making<br />
things up”, she said. But a few<br />
days later when she tried to confront<br />
him again, he cancelled her<br />
work and sent her home.<br />
Diver faced a charge of attempted<br />
sexual violation by rape<br />
and a representative count of<br />
indecent assault, having been<br />
found guilty in an earlier judgealone<br />
trial.<br />
Diver was initially charged<br />
with rape but at trial the court<br />
heard his erectile dysfunction<br />
meant he could not achieve<br />
an erection long enough for<br />
penetration. This was used as<br />
his defence, which contributed<br />
to the charge being reduced to<br />
attempted rape.<br />
At sentencing, Crown prosecutor<br />
Courtney Martyn questioned<br />
Diver’s claimed remorse, submitting<br />
it was actually self-pitying.<br />
Defence lawyer Grant Fletcher<br />
said the court must take into<br />
consideration that rape had not<br />
been proven and it was instead<br />
attempted rape.<br />
But Judge Michael Crosbie<br />
resisted the submission, stating:<br />
“It is not a clumsy attempt. I find<br />
it likely that Mr Diver raped her.”<br />

THE DRIVER behind a fatal<br />
hit-and-run told police it was<br />
his friend who was responsible<br />
for the crash and he didn’t know<br />
anything about it.<br />
But in the district court,<br />
Anthony Alexander Thomas<br />
admitted he had lied to police<br />
about being in the passenger seat<br />
when his Subaru vehicle collided<br />
with cyclist Sean William Russell<br />
Innes in Linwood.<br />
He pleaded guilty to conspiring<br />
to defeat the course of justice<br />
after having earlier admitted<br />
to driving dangerously causing<br />
death and failing to stop and<br />
ascertain injury.<br />
Initially, a 44-year-old Ashburton<br />
man who has interim name<br />
suppression was accused of the<br />
hit-and-run.<br />
But Thomas, a 30-year-old<br />
farmer from Ashburton, later<br />
owned up to being behind the<br />
wheel after he was “overcome<br />
with guilt” when Innes, 45, died<br />
in hospital two weeks later.<br />
According to the summary of<br />
facts, Thomas and his co-accused<br />
were travelling from Ashburton<br />
to Christchurch about 3pm on<br />
September 13 last year.<br />
Thomas was driving and his<br />
co-accused was in the passenger<br />
seat as the car turned onto Linwood<br />
Ave, which was busy with<br />
traffic at the time.<br />
As he approached stationary<br />
traffic at the intersection<br />
of Linwood Ave and Buckleys<br />
Rd, Thomas drove along the<br />
left-hand shoulder of the road,<br />
designated for cyclists.<br />
Innes, who was cycling, was<br />
struck from behind and forced<br />
up onto the car’s bonnet before<br />
being thrown onto the road.<br />
Thomas, who was travelling at<br />
least 73km/h when he hit Innes,<br />
made no attempt to slow down<br />
or stop following the collision.<br />
Instead, he completed a left turn<br />
and fled the scene.<br />
A short distance from the<br />
crash site, Thomas pulled over<br />
and swapped seats with his coaccused.<br />
<strong>The</strong> man then drove the<br />
car towards Burwood, having to<br />
steer while looking out the window<br />
due to the windscreen damage.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Subaru also had damage<br />

Fatal hit-and-run cover-up<br />
GUILTY PLEA: Anthony Thomas admitted he had been<br />
driving the Subaru that hit and killed cyclist Sean Innes.<br />
to its front bumper, headlights<br />
and its front and rear driver’s<br />
side tyres were deflated.<br />
Thomas and his co-accused<br />
parked the vehicle in the residential<br />
red zone before fleeing across<br />
abandoned land and swimming<br />
across Horseshoe Lake in Burwood.<br />
Later that evening, Thomas<br />
called the police and reported his<br />
vehicle as stolen, claiming he had<br />
woken up to find it missing.<br />
But after hearing Innes had<br />
died as a result of the crash,<br />
Thomas came clean and was<br />
arrested and charged. He was remanded<br />
on electronically monitored<br />
bail ahead of his sentencing<br />
on May 4.<br />
His co-accused did not turn up<br />
to court, prompting the judge to<br />
issue a warrant for his arrest.<br />

THE NAME of a Merivale man<br />
who used the handle “Superdad”<br />
to operate an account to upload<br />
sexual content involving children<br />
and share with other users his<br />
dark desire to “perv on young<br />
kids” can now be revealed.<br />
Anthony David Cook, 59, was<br />
sentenced in the district court<br />
last week to four years and one<br />
month in prison for sharing and<br />
possessing child sexual exploitation<br />
material.<br />
According to the summary<br />
of facts, in 2015 Cook used fake<br />
details and the username Superdad748<br />
to create an account on a<br />
social media messenger platform<br />
located in the United States.<br />
In January 2019, he uploaded<br />
CSEM involving a boy aged between<br />
seven and 10 years.<br />
This was detected by the social<br />
media platform and while it was<br />
reported to authorities, a suspect<br />
could not be linked to the distribution<br />
of the image.<br />
Cook continued to upload<br />
CSEM, distributing a total of 41<br />

images to seven recipients until<br />
services were able to link it to his<br />
account.<br />
In October 2<strong>02</strong>1, police<br />
searched Cook’s Merivale home<br />
and found two iPhones.<br />
<strong>The</strong> phones were searched and<br />
a total of 1056 objectionable publications<br />
were discovered. Some<br />
involved children as young as<br />
four years old performing sexual<br />
acts on adults.<br />
According to the summary,<br />
Cook would message others on<br />
the platform and express how he<br />
“loved to perv on young kids getting<br />
changed”.<br />
“I think the pools will finally<br />
get a visit from me this weekend.<br />
Can’t stop thinking about the<br />
little boy’s c****,” he said in one<br />
exchange.<br />
In another message, Cook<br />
described seeing a 10-year-old<br />
girl at a customer’s home he had<br />
visited. He told the recipient he<br />
had been thinking of the girl in a<br />
sexual way.<br />
“I stared at her when I could<br />
and she held my gaze.”<br />

Arrested pornographer faces nervy wait<br />
• By Kurt Bayer<br />
AN EX-PAT Cantabrian who<br />
helped trick women into<br />
becoming porn stars has lost his<br />
US lawyer and had sentencing<br />
delayed – while his old boss and<br />
Christchurch schoolboy friend is<br />
awaiting extradition from Spain<br />
after appearing on the FBI’s Ten<br />
Most Wanted Fugitives list.<br />
Matthew Isaac Wolfe, aka<br />
‘Ben’, was due to be sentenced in<br />
a San Diego courtroom this week<br />
for his roles in the GirlsDoPorn<br />
scandal.<br />
Wolfe, 41, is facing a maximum<br />
sentence of life imprisonment<br />
after earlier pleading guilty<br />
to conspiracy to commit sex<br />
trafficking.<br />
But he faces a nervy wait until<br />
May 25 to learn of his fate.<br />
Court documents seen by the<br />
NZ Herald reveal that Wolfe<br />
needs more time to finish his<br />
paperwork to “address the<br />
complicated issues involved in<br />
the matter”. He has also had a<br />
change in attorneys.<br />
Wolfe was a cameraman and<br />
office assistant to Christchurch<br />
primary school buddy Michael<br />
James Pratt’s shady porn empire<br />
behind popular adult websites<br />
GirlsDoPorn and GirlsDoToys.<br />
Others have already been<br />
convicted for their parts in the<br />
scandal.<br />
And Pratt, who had been on<br />
the run since 2019, was finally<br />
arrested in Spain just before<br />
Christmas.<br />
Spanish police announced the<br />
arrest on Twitter, publishing a<br />
video of officers handcuffing a<br />
man and searching him.<br />
A spokeswoman for the FBI,<br />
which had offered US$100,000<br />
for information on Pratt’s<br />
whereabouts, this week told the<br />
NZ Herald he is “still awaiting<br />
extradition”.<br />
To persuade women to appear<br />
in the videos, Wolfe admitted to<br />
telling them the videos would<br />
never be posted online, would<br />
never be released in the United<br />
States, and that no one who<br />
knew the women would ever find<br />
out about their production.<br />
Women targeted by Wolfe said<br />
in a US$20 million lawsuit that<br />
he had promised them the videos<br />
would only be seen by private<br />
collectors in Australia and New<br />
Zealand.<br />
Many of those duped into<br />
filming were struggling financially<br />
and offered between<br />
US$3000-US$5000 as payment,<br />
as well as an “all expenses” trip<br />
to San Diego. <strong>The</strong>y were taken to<br />
motel rooms where the footage<br />
was filmed.<br />
<strong>The</strong> videos were then posted to<br />
the company’s own subscriptionbased<br />
website, while shorter versions<br />
were posted to some of the<br />
world’s largest pornography sites,<br />
with the company profiting over<br />
$17 million in revenue according<br />
to court documents.<br />
<strong>The</strong> videos were viewed over a<br />
billion times – a conservative figure<br />
that doesn’t take into account<br />
pirated copies of the files.<br />
According to the United<br />
States Department of Justice,<br />
Wolfe admitted that he moved<br />
to the United States in 2011 to<br />
work for Pratt, the owner of the<br />
GirlsDoPorn and GirlsDoToys<br />
websites.<br />
<strong>The</strong> pair had been friends since<br />
childhood, growing up together<br />
in Christchurch.<br />
“Wolfe filmed approximately<br />
one hundred videos, he uploaded<br />
finished videos onto the internet,<br />
he oversaw the company’s<br />
financial books, and he operated<br />
various business entities that<br />
were used to promote the<br />
business,” the DOJ said in a<br />
statement.<br />
<strong>The</strong> promises were made,<br />
despite Wolfe knowing Pratt<br />
was also operating a separate<br />
site, pornwikileaks.com, set up<br />
to expose the “true identities”<br />
of women appearing in the sex<br />
videos.<br />
“Even after Wolfe became<br />
aware of this, he and others<br />
continued to assure prospective<br />
models that no one would ever<br />
find out about their video shoot<br />
or learn their identity.”<br />

Mapping sea ice has global impact<br />
CANTERBURY University<br />
researchers are behind<br />
pioneering airborne technology<br />
that will map and measure a<br />
vast stretch of Antarctic sea ice,<br />
revealing more about the critical<br />
role it plays in the global climate<br />
system.<br />
UC School of Earth and Environment<br />
Professor Wolfgang<br />
Rack, a glaciologist, said it will<br />
be the most comprehensive study<br />
of coastal sea ice in Antarctica<br />
ever carried out, and the resulting<br />
data will be internationally<br />
significant.<br />
“Using an aircraft survey,<br />
we plan to measure the largest<br />
stretches of Antarctic sea ice in<br />
history,” he said.<br />
“If we want to be confident<br />
in our predictions of sea ice<br />
trends and better understand the<br />
vital role it plays in a warming<br />
climate, we need more accurate<br />
information on the thickness of<br />
current coastal sea ice.”<br />
Rack and his team, which<br />
includes research scientist Dr<br />
Daniel Price, have been awarded<br />
a three-year $929,000 Marsden<br />
Fund grant from Royal Society<br />
Te Apārangi for the project. It is<br />
a collaboration between UC, Lincoln<br />
Agritech, the Alfred Wegener<br />
Institute for Polar and Marine<br />
Research in Germany, Australian<br />
Antarctic Division, NASA, and<br />
ETH Zurich University.<br />
PROJECT: Canterbury University School of Earth and Environment Professor Wolfgang Rack<br />
with the aircraft that will be used in a study of coastal sea ice in Antarctica. PHOTO: UC<br />
<strong>The</strong> survey will be carried<br />
out in late 2<strong>02</strong>4 in the Ross Sea<br />
and Western Pacific areas of<br />
Antarctica using a fixed-wing<br />
DC3 aircraft. An ‘EM Bird’ –<br />
an electromagnetic induction<br />
device provided by a collaborator<br />
from AWI – will be suspended<br />
80 metres under the aircraft to<br />
measure the thickness of the ice<br />
below.<br />
For this project, it will be combined<br />
with a built-in snow radar,<br />
developed with collaborators at<br />
Lincoln Agritech and integrated<br />
with the EM Bird system at UC<br />
and AWI. In combination, the<br />
technology can simultaneously<br />
measure ice thickness and the<br />
depth of the snow layer on top.<br />
Said Rack: “For the first time<br />
we will be able to directly assess<br />
the thickness and volume<br />
of complex coastal sea ice. We<br />
theorise this type of ice is a<br />
major factor in the global climate<br />
system – if it is changing, then<br />
there will be big consequences<br />
for our planet.”<br />
Sea ice helps sustain Antarctic<br />
‘bottom water’, which is the<br />
deepest, coldest and densest<br />
ocean water. This bottom water<br />
helps remove carbon dioxide<br />
from the atmosphere, storing it<br />
at the ocean floor for a long time.<br />
It also helps circulate the world’s<br />
oceans.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> more sea ice is out there,<br />
the more Antarctic bottom water<br />
is created, so it’s a critical part of<br />
oceanic and atmospheric circulation<br />
with huge global impacts,”<br />
he said.<br />
Vast areas of Antarctic sea ice<br />
cover up to 20 million square kilometres<br />
in winter, reflecting sunlight<br />
and mitigating its warming<br />
effects on sea temperatures.<br />
Sea ice trends are poorly<br />
understood because satellites<br />
can only reliably map their area.<br />
Only a few thickness measurements<br />
are taken from the ground<br />
every year, and they cover a<br />
relatively small area.<br />
“Since the late 1970s, we’ve<br />
observed an increase in the area<br />
of coastal sea ice in Antarctica,<br />
which is the opposite of what one<br />
would expect,” Rack said.<br />
“Only very recently have we<br />
seen a decline, but also much<br />
more variability. We need to<br />
know more about the thickness<br />
of the ice and its overall mass to<br />
understand these changes.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> data collected will be used<br />
to develop a tailored satellitederived<br />
ice thickness product<br />
for Antarctica’s coastal region<br />
and will also provide observational<br />
datasets for computer<br />
simulations that will allow better<br />
forecasting.<br />

Ex Rugby Player Finding Support ADVERTISEMENT<br />
KORU NUTRITION<br />
Keith would describe<br />
his younger self as<br />
definitely a ‘man’s man’.<br />
Work hard, play harder<br />
and ‘shake it off’ if need<br />
be. Looking back Keith<br />
realised that those early<br />
hay days were great.<br />
“I loved being out<br />
on the footy field. Big<br />
tackles, sprinting from<br />
ruck to ruck and then<br />
back again, pushing<br />
hard on the side of the<br />
scrum; nothing like a bit<br />
of healthy competition to<br />
get the blood pumping.”<br />
A lifetime of exercise,<br />
a good diet and making<br />
sure that he wore knee<br />
supports, Keith lived<br />
fairly well. However for<br />
Keith, although health<br />
is key, he has still gone<br />
through the normal day<br />
to day of a physically<br />
demanding job.<br />
An old footy mate<br />
asked one day if he had<br />
tried Koru FX from Koru<br />
Nutrition. <strong>The</strong>y said<br />
they’d been using the<br />
cream to support their<br />
joints and muscles.<br />
“I said I would give it<br />
a go, so he threw me a<br />
bottle.”<br />
Koru FX cream by Koru<br />
Nutrition has become<br />
NZ’s #1 joint and muscle<br />
support cream. With over<br />
two and a half thousand<br />
5 star reviews, Koru FX<br />
is showing itself to be a<br />
favourite in many New<br />
Zealand households<br />
“It smelt good, and<br />
felt great. It is just nice<br />
to go about my day, be<br />
it carrying every bag of<br />
shopping in for my wife<br />
in one go, off to aqua<br />
aerobics and swimming<br />
or just larking about;<br />
Koru FX gives me the<br />
confidence I need, to<br />
continue to live an active<br />
life.”<br />
Always read the label and use as directed. If symptoms persist, see your healthcare professional. Koru Nutrition, Christchurch.<br />
Containing high quality<br />
oils like calendula,<br />
arnica, manuka and<br />
peppermint, along with<br />
twelve others, Koru FX<br />
provides the perfect<br />
formulation for fast<br />
acting joint and muscle<br />
support.<br />

ECan may reassess<br />
water testing in bay<br />
• By Tony Simons<br />
PUBLIC PRESSURE has<br />
resulted in Environment<br />
Canterbury agreeing to<br />
reconsider how it grades<br />
swimming sites and<br />
manages water quality<br />
issues at Corsair Bay in the<br />
future.<br />
It follows confusion and<br />
upset over a decision in<br />
October<br />
to grade<br />
the bay<br />
“unsuitable<br />
for swimming”<br />
for<br />
Vicky<br />
Southworth<br />
the entire<br />
summer<br />
because of<br />
high faecal bacteria readings<br />
over the previous five<br />
years, which residents say<br />
should have been ignored.<br />
Testing for all of January<br />
shows the water quality at<br />
the bay was good to excellent.<br />
ECan councillor for<br />
Christchurch South/<br />
Owhanga Vicky<br />
Southworth confirmed it is<br />
rethinking how grades are<br />
calculated, how often water<br />
is tested, and what warning<br />
WATCH OUT: A health warning sign at Corsair Bay.<br />
signs are appropriate.<br />
Southworth met with<br />
ECan staff and Cosair Bay<br />
swim group representative<br />
Leith Cooper last week.<br />
She said a paper will be<br />
presented at the next ECan<br />
water and land committee<br />
meeting, where she expects<br />
possible changes will be<br />
discussed.<br />
She said the public is<br />
welcome to attend.<br />
After meeting with<br />
Southworth, Cooper said<br />
he was impressed with her<br />
responsiveness to the issue.<br />
He encourages the public<br />
to attend the ECan meeting<br />
to voice their concerns.<br />
“Corsair Bay is a<br />
significant and safe swim<br />
site for Christchurch and<br />
ECan needs to be more<br />
responsive,” he said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y need to be testing<br />
the water daily and putting<br />
up better signage to give<br />
people confidence to make<br />
their own decisions about<br />
whether or not to swim<br />
there.”<br />
Cooper said ECan also<br />
needed to review the<br />
“unsuitable for swimming<br />
grading” as soon as<br />
possible.<br />
“We have several more<br />
months of swimming left<br />
this season and we need<br />
that grading lifted before<br />
next summer,” he said.<br />

Howard Nicholls said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new name also<br />
aligns the organisation<br />
with the other 62 units<br />
that make up Coastguard<br />
NZ, he said. It reflects the<br />
strong relationship the organisation<br />
has with Coastguard<br />
NZ, which provides<br />
support to help the unit<br />
operate effectively.<br />
Coastguard Sumner will<br />
continue to operate exactly<br />
as before, with the only<br />
change being the name,<br />
Nicholls said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> organisation provides<br />
a full-time volunteer<br />
maritime search and<br />
rescue service, as well as<br />
education in safe boating,<br />
water safety and first aid.<br />
It also covers a large area<br />
– from near the mouth of<br />
the Hurunui River, across<br />
all of Banks Peninsula and<br />
12 miles out to sea.<br />
It has been busy recently,<br />
with five call-outs in January,<br />
assisting local boaties,<br />
swimmers and surfers who<br />
have got into difficulty.<br />
<strong>The</strong> organisation has<br />
about 30 volunteers who<br />
can respond to a call-out at<br />
any time. Its three vessels<br />
are equipped to handle<br />
almost all rescue missions.<br />
Coastguard Sumner also<br />
works closely with surf life<br />
saving clubs.<br />
It has a rich history,<br />
starting in 1898 with the<br />
first permanent rescue<br />
service and dedicated lifeboat,<br />
appropriately named<br />
Rescue. Despite the name<br />
change, Coastguard<br />
Sumner will retain strong<br />
connections to its heritage<br />
as Sumner Lifeboat, and<br />
will continue to promote<br />
its proud heritage.<br />

Davis Cup singles players<br />
will be named tomorrow<br />
• By Diane Keenan<br />
NEW ZEALAND will confirm<br />
their two singles players<br />
tomorrow for the Davis Cup tie<br />
against Bulgaria at Wilding Park<br />
over the weekend.<br />
Team captain Kelly Evernden<br />
will chose from Rubin Statham,<br />
Ajeet Rai and KP Pannu ahead<br />
of the world group playoff 1.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y will be joined by doubles<br />
specialists Michael Venus and<br />
Artem Sitak.<br />
Statham, who is world No<br />
454, has won 28 Davis Cup<br />
singles matches, more than any<br />
other New Zealander, and is<br />
likely to be named to play two<br />
of the singles rubbers. However,<br />
Rai (world No 455) and Pannu<br />
(world No 574) both impressed at<br />
the ASB Classic and its wildcard<br />
tournament.<br />
Rai defeated world No 95 Taro<br />
Daniel from Japan before losing<br />
in three sets to Brazilian Thiago<br />
Monteiro, while Pannu looked<br />
solid in the wildcard tournament<br />
but went down to eventual ASB<br />
Classic winner Richard Gasquet<br />
in the first round.<br />
Play will start at noon on<br />
Saturday with the first two<br />
singles rubbers, followed by the<br />
doubles and the reverse singles<br />
on Sunday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> tie will be a sell-out on<br />
both days, Tennis Canterbury<br />
general manager Bevan Johns<br />
said.<br />
“Tickets were snapped up as<br />
soon as they went on the market.<br />
<strong>The</strong> last Davis Cup tie played<br />
here was in 2016 so it’s very<br />
exciting that the international<br />
men’s team competition is returning<br />
to the city,” Johns said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Bulgarian team, which<br />
will be without top-ranked<br />
player Grigor Dimitrov, who has<br />
been as high as world No 3, will<br />
still provide a stern challenge,<br />
with second-ranked player<br />
Dimitar Kuzmanov ranked No<br />
182 in the world.<br />
<strong>The</strong> winner advances to a<br />
world group 1 tie in September<br />
with the loser relegated to world<br />
group 2. Tennis Canterbury patron<br />

official racket stringer for the tie,<br />

“I’ve always said that Christchurch<br />
is New Zealand’s Davis<br />

wonderful ties played here,<br />
particularly in the 1970s and 80s,<br />
when we were in the top tier of<br />
the competition. Our best performance<br />
was in 1982 when after<br />
defeating Spain at Wilding Park,<br />
we went on and made the world<br />
group semi-finals.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> New Zealand team of<br />
Chris Lewis, Onny Parun, Russell<br />
Simpson and Bruce Derlin<br />
lost 3-2 to France in the semis<br />
on clay courts in France. New<br />
Zealand’s proud record in Davis<br />
Cup includes making the quarter<br />
finals in 1981, 1983 and 1990.<br />
Ralfe, who has strung rackets<br />
at the past 23 Davis Cup ties in<br />
Christchurch, has the honour<br />
of “not missing one of those ties<br />
and stringing the rackets of all<br />
the winning teams.”<br />
“We have also had some very<br />
good players coming here for<br />
Davis Cup, including France’s<br />
Yannick Noah, Yugoslavia’s<br />
Goran Ivanisevic and Australians<br />
Tony Roche, John Alexander,<br />
Pat Rafter and the world’s<br />
former top double’s combination<br />
of Todd Woodbridge and Mark<br />
Woodforde.”<br />
Most of the memorable ties<br />
were played on the centre court<br />
at Wilding Park, but it also went<br />
indoors on artificial surfaces at<br />
Pioneer Stadium and the central<br />
city, King Edwards Barracks,<br />
which unfortunately leaked,<br />
Ralfe says.<br />
Rafter was a favourite with<br />
the ball kids that year (1993-94)<br />
when at the end of the tie, he<br />
stayed and hit with them.<br />
“I still have a letter from an<br />
Australian team captain John<br />
Newcombe thanking me for<br />
stringing the team’s rackets and<br />
saying the job I did was as good<br />
as anywhere in the world. That<br />
was special.”<br />

BEVON-JOHN Jacobs has<br />
continued his stellar form well<br />
and truly into the new year by<br />
breaking the highest one-day<br />
individual score in club cricket<br />
history at the weekend.<br />
Jacobs (left) blitzed 11 sixes<br />
and 12 fours for Sydenham on<br />
his way to 178 off 138 balls<br />
against Old Boys’ Collegians. He<br />
surpassed the previous record<br />
of 169, held by Burnside West’s<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
Sam Noster in the 2015/16 season.<br />
It was Jacobs third century<br />
of the season in the rain-affected<br />
47-over match. OBC won the<br />
toss and elected to bowl first,<br />
but faced a strong batting performance<br />
from Jacobs and Ryan<br />
Wallace (52 off 75 balls) who<br />
combined for a 191-run partnership.<br />
Jacobs was eventually run-out<br />
towards the end of the innings,<br />
as Sydenham finished on 315/5.<br />
In response, OBC began well<br />
with Australian import Dylan<br />
Hunter (104 off 89 balls) bringing<br />
up his first century for his<br />
new club. But Sydenham’s bowlers<br />
closed out the match quickly,<br />
taking OBC’s last six wickets for<br />
just 40 runs, restricting them to<br />
273.<br />

the under-17 FIFA World Cup in<br />
Peru in November.<br />
Nicholas Murphy, Jackson<br />
Cole, Eric Sugahara and Matt<br />
Foord all played an integral<br />
part in the New Zealand team<br />
that won the Oceania under-17<br />
championships on Saturday after<br />
a nail-biting 1-0 win over New<br />
Caledonia, which also qualified<br />
for the World Cup.<br />
Murphy and Cole currently<br />
play for Christchurch United,<br />
while Cashmere Technical’s<br />
Sugahara and Foord are also<br />
products of the Christchurch<br />
United Academy. <strong>The</strong>ir presence,<br />
along with former Cantabrian<br />
Luke Supyk, shows a big shift in<br />
national team selection. Most<br />
national squads over recent years<br />
included only one or two or no<br />
South Island players at all.<br />
<strong>The</strong> change reflects the<br />
hard work Christchurch clubs<br />
have put in to improve youth<br />
development. Former All White<br />
Aaron Clapham, who lives in the<br />
city, is also the current assistant<br />
of the under-17 side – and has<br />
helped identify talented local<br />
players. Murphy, Cole, Sugahara<br />
and Foord all featured in the<br />
final. Goalkeeper Foord claimed<br />
man of the match after pulling<br />
off several stunning saves after<br />
New Zealand was reduced to 10<br />
men for the final 20 minutes.<br />
Foord also won the golden<br />
glove for best goalkeeper and<br />
was named in the team of the<br />
tournament. Murphy was part<br />
of the epic defensive effort in the<br />
final minutes. “My immediate<br />
reaction was just run and hug<br />
my nearest teammate. I was just<br />
filled with joy and to celebrate<br />
something as big as the win with<br />
my new brothers was a very<br />
U17 footballers score World Cup spot<br />
special and heartfelt moment for<br />
me.” After narrowly beating New<br />
Caledonia 3-2 in their opening<br />
game, thanks to a hat-trick from<br />
former Waimak United and<br />
Nomads United player Supyk,<br />
New Zealand then thrashed<br />
American Samoa 11-0.<br />
Murphy captained the side<br />
into the knockout stages of the<br />
tournament. “Playing with the<br />
fern on my chest was one hell of<br />
an achievement, but that feeling<br />
of walking my team out and<br />
captaining my side, my country,<br />
is a feeling that will never<br />
leave me. I was unbelievably<br />
honoured and proud to do so,”<br />
said Murphy. <strong>The</strong> team then<br />
faced a well-organised Vanuatu<br />
in the quarter-finals, but won<br />
in the 90th-minute after Supyk<br />
converted a penalty.<br />
In the semis, New Zealand<br />
comfortably beat host nation Fiji<br />
4-1 to qualify for the upcoming<br />
under-17 World Cup then won<br />
the final to claim the trophy for<br />
the eighth time in a row. Murphy<br />
said the team had to dig deep in<br />
the final. “<strong>The</strong> boys worked superhard<br />
and put in shifts day-in-dayout<br />
on and off the pitch, so for me<br />
it was well deserved.”<br />

Duff eyes up another national title<br />
• By Allan Batt<br />
THE NEW Zealand Sprintcar<br />
Championship at Ruapuna<br />
Speedway this weekend has<br />
attracted 46 competitors – the<br />
second largest in the event’s<br />
52-year history.<br />
Former winner Jamie Duff has<br />
been somewhat inconsistent this<br />
summer, showing lightening fast<br />
pace but having a string of minor<br />
mechanical issues. Last weekend<br />
the Christchurch driver returned<br />
to form, finishing second in the<br />
New Zealand Sprintcar Grand<br />
Prix at Cromwell, but he is under<br />
no illusions how tough this<br />
weekend’s racing will be.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 32-year-old is keen to grab<br />
another national championship<br />
win, but said it’s a tough<br />
proposition.<br />
“You really need everything<br />
to go your way. <strong>The</strong> 10-lap heat<br />
races will be tough, and every<br />
point on offer is vital. One<br />
mechanical issue, an untimely<br />
flat tyre or getting caught up in<br />
someone else’s crash can make it<br />
a tough road into the finals, but<br />
we have found plenty of speed<br />
in the car, and with the next<br />
nationals in Christchurch being<br />
six or seven years away we really<br />
want to give this a good crack,”<br />
Duff said.<br />
A 30-year veteran, Canterbury<br />
speedway driver Dave Kerr has<br />
made the switch to sprintcars<br />
and is upbeat about taking part.<br />
PSYCHED: Former national sprintcar champion Jamie Duff is keen to reignite his form at Ruapuna this weekend.<br />
Said Kerr: “(Sprintcars) are<br />
big fields, they are big powerful<br />
cars to drive, and a hell of a buzz<br />
too. <strong>The</strong>re is a real neat bunch of<br />
people involved in the class too.<br />
Most of my team were ready for<br />
a change and a challenge – this<br />
is it.”<br />
Early in his career, Kerr<br />
won the national minisprint<br />
championship before moving up<br />
into the powerful midget cars.<br />
He went on to become the most<br />
successful South Island driver in<br />
that section of all time.<br />
Ruapuna club president Rob<br />
Roxburgh is confident that<br />
despite only two South Islanders<br />
winning the championship in<br />
the past 37 years – Bruce Hobbs<br />
in 1986 and Duff in 2015 – there<br />
is enough ability in the mainland<br />
ranks to get onto the podium.<br />
One driver who has returned<br />
home after spending most of<br />
the summer racing in Auckland<br />
is Canterbury’s Matthew<br />
Leversedge. He says the<br />
northerners may not have the<br />
advantage they normally do.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> weather up north has<br />
made it a really disrupted<br />
campaign. We are rapt to be back<br />
at Ruapuna. I’m pretty familiar<br />
with how the track changes as<br />
the two nights of racing go on,”<br />
Leversedge said.<br />
Roxburgh said other<br />
Canterbury drivers who have<br />
showed great form recently<br />
include Caleb Baughan, Steve<br />
Duff, Jayden Dodge and Connor<br />
Rangi.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y are all young and fast.<br />
Several years ago Connor was<br />
the second top qualifier for the<br />
championship at Cromwell. He<br />
registers to his old hometown of<br />
Nelson but he’s put in plenty of<br />
laps at Ruapuna,” Roxburgh said.<br />
“I think he has the temperament<br />
to do well and he is being<br />
mentored by American Jonathan<br />
Allard.<br />
“He’s really talented. We know<br />
that Caleb and Steve won’t be<br />
left wondering. <strong>The</strong>y will give it<br />
there all while Jayden was very<br />
unlucky to be stripped of third<br />
place in last weekend’s Grand<br />
Prix on a technical issue. I<br />
wouldn’t write these guys off.”<br />
Roxburgh said three years of<br />
planning has gone into making it<br />
a memorable occasion.<br />
•<strong>The</strong> racing will be held<br />
on Saturday and Sunday<br />

TRAINING PROGRAMME<br />
WeeK four: upping the pace<br />
This week we will step it up a bit more. <strong>The</strong> beginners group will progress to the stage that most of the walking is replaced by<br />
slow jogging and the intermediate group are starting to incorporate some efforts in zone 2. Remember that zone 1 is perceived<br />
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<br />
conversation. You go from jogging in zone 1 to a proper running movement in zone 2 with the main difference being that zone<br />
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<br />
leg turnover (stride rate). <strong>The</strong> intermediate group introduces zone 2 pace as 2 minute repetitions alternated by 2 minute easy<br />
jogging. Zone 2 to 3 will be the recommended pace for the City to Surf event for the intermediate group while the beginners<br />
will mainly stay in zone 1 and 2.<br />
<strong>The</strong> difference between walking and jogging is not only decided by the rhythm of the movement but also how and where you<br />
land your feet. When jogging most efficiently you land on your mid-foot under the centre of gravity of the body, which, in the<br />
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<br />
gravity to pull you forward while your legs keep you upright and push you in a forward direction. Walking is done in a more<br />
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<br />
helps to keep your core (lower abdomen, back, pelvis and hips) well supported by pushing your pelvis slightly forward. This will<br />
stop you from “sitting” and over striding.<br />

To achieve this goal you<br />
need to develop some<br />
awareness around the<br />
basic requirements of<br />
exercising for health<br />
and fitness. First and<br />
foremost this has to do<br />
with 3 key principles:<br />
1. How often do you train? To<br />
improve your level of health and<br />
fitness you will need to aim for 4<br />
sessions per week. 2 or 3 sessions per<br />
week will only maintain what you have<br />
and 1 session per week is definitely not<br />
sufficient.<br />
2. How long are your sessions? <strong>The</strong><br />
duration of your sessions will generally build<br />
towards between 30 and 50 minutes with<br />
one longer session of 60-80 minutes.<br />
3. What is the right intensity to train at? <strong>The</strong><br />
good thing about the programme is that all<br />
your runs will be done at submaximal pace,<br />
also called conversation pace. That means a<br />
pace where you can still talk. If you can’t talk<br />
you are going too fast and you are likely to<br />
come to a grinding halt sooner or later.<br />
This programme and accompanying information are written<br />
as a guide only. If you are concerned about your health at<br />
any stage please undergo a health check with your GP.<br />
tIP of the WeeK<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is no need to bring fluids with you<br />
during the sessions as you are not exercising<br />
long and hard enough to cause serious<br />
dehydration. Even on warm (north-west)<br />
days it is sufficient to have a glass of water<br />
or juice just before you go out. You can<br />
re-hydrate on your return home, again with<br />
water and/or a glass of fruit juice. Taking<br />
fluids during exercise is generally not<br />
required until you start to exceed 90 minutes<br />
on a normal day and 60 minutes on a hot<br />
day (temperatures above 25 degrees).<br />

Advanced Care Plans<br />
Have you thought about what care you<br />
want to receive when you reach the end<br />
of your life? During the course of our<br />
lives we expend an enormous amount<br />
of energy planning where we want to<br />
live, what we want to achieve during our<br />
lifetimes, but we don’t give much time or<br />
thought to what we would like to happen<br />
at the end of our lives.<br />
If you have a major health event that<br />
deprives you of the ability to make your<br />
wishes known to your family or to the<br />
health professionals responsible for your<br />
care, taking some time now to discuss<br />
what you want at the end of your life will<br />
provide vital guidance if your loved ones<br />
have to make those decisions for you.<br />
An Advance Care Plan or Advance<br />
Directive (“Advance Care Plan”) is a<br />
way to help you communicate to your<br />
loved ones your wishes about your future<br />
health care and will help your loved<br />
ones and your health care providers to<br />
understand what is important to you<br />
and what treatment you do or do not<br />
want in the event that you are unable to<br />
communicate with those around you.<br />
Under the Code of Health and<br />
Disability Services Consumers’ Rights<br />
you have the right to use an Advance<br />
Care Plan to make your health care<br />
wishes known. Examples might be the<br />
desire not to receive blood transfusions,<br />
be resuscitated or kept alive with the use<br />
of life support systems.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Code gives a person, who<br />
has capacity to make decisions for<br />
Thursday <strong>February</strong> 2 2<strong>02</strong>3 <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> 27<br />
themselves, the right to make an Advance<br />
Care Plan. When deciding on whether<br />
to follow your Advance Care Plan, your<br />
health care professional will try to ensure<br />
that:<br />
• you had capacity at the time the<br />
Advance Care Plan was made;<br />
• you made your Advance Care Plan of<br />
your own free will;<br />
• you were informed and understood<br />
the decisions you were making; and<br />
• your Advance Care Plan applies to<br />
the current circumstances, whatever they<br />
may be.<br />
To assist the treating team considering<br />
these factors, you are encouraged to<br />
complete the section in the Plan dealing<br />
with your treatment and care choices<br />
with your health care professional and<br />
you both then sign and date this. <strong>The</strong><br />
completed Plan is entered onto an<br />
electronic database which is available to<br />
staff if you go into hospital or to St Johns<br />
if you require assistance.<br />
Talking about your Advance Care Plan<br />
with your loved ones and in particular<br />
your attorney for care and welfare, is<br />
an important conversation. If you do<br />
not have enduring powers of attorney<br />
in place this would be a good time to<br />
complete these deeds as an integral part<br />
of your estate planning.<br />
At Harmans we have a specialist seniors<br />
team dealing with estate planning, give<br />
Phillipa Shaw a call on 03 379 7835 to<br />
arrange an appointment to discuss your<br />
situation.<br />

Suzuki with European flair and finesse<br />
When you think of Suzuki<br />
motor vehicles of all shapes and<br />
sizes, you immediately think of<br />
their origin from Japan.<br />
Well, all models are<br />
designed and engineered in<br />
Japan, but Suzuki has a global<br />
manufacturing infrastructure<br />
that sees it source variants from a<br />
wide periphery.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Suzuki S-Cross is built in<br />
europe, hungary to be exact, and<br />
I must say it is all quality and feels<br />
just so nice to be in.<br />
<strong>The</strong> S-Cross has just entered a<br />
new lifecycle, its shape is bolder,<br />
sharper and has a lot more<br />
presence on the road. It has also<br />
received interior attention that<br />
makes it completely state-of-theart,<br />
it is modern fresh and fitted<br />
with all of the character you want<br />
when buying a new-age SuV.<br />
I’ve long been a fan of the<br />
S-Cross, early in its production it<br />
arrived with the 1.6-litre engine<br />
out of the Swift Sport and it was a<br />
real cracker, I remember vividly a<br />
trip I took in it to Queenstown to<br />
watch an annual Gibbston Valley<br />
rock concert.<br />
In recent years the S-Cross has<br />
shared its four-cylinder engine<br />
with others in the Suzuki line-up,<br />
it’s a 1.4-litre turbocharged unit<br />
that first appeared here in Baleno.<br />
This engine is also noteworthy,<br />
it’s a strong unit at 103kW and<br />
220nm, but its biggest claim to<br />
fame is that of its economy.<br />
Well that’s no surprise, Suzuki<br />
has long been revered for its<br />
ability to produce feisty, free-revving<br />
engines that also sip fuel in<br />
acceptable amounts in this age<br />
where costs to fill up are forever<br />
on everyone’s mind. In part, the<br />
small capacity engines Suzuki<br />
build so very well hark back to<br />
the company’s motor-cycle heritage,<br />
gleaning decent horsepower<br />
out of small cylinders.<br />
even though the S-Cross’ engine<br />
likes to work freely, it doesn’t<br />
need to be hunting towards<br />
the top end. one of the major<br />
benefits from today’s turbocharging<br />
technology is the ability to<br />
produce maximum torque from<br />
low in the rev band.<br />
In the S-Cross’ case peak power<br />
is developed at just 5500rpm,<br />
while torque is maximised<br />
between 1500 and 4000rpm.<br />
SUZUKI S-CROSS: Fresh face for 2<strong>02</strong>3.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se figures mean the engine<br />
doesn’t need to work hard, it is<br />
a sweet unit that is honest and<br />
quiet.<br />
Acceleration is ushered in willingly<br />
and swiftly when required<br />
(0-1000km/h in 8.8sec) but such<br />
is the sultry way the turbo boost<br />
arrives it’s hard to tell there is<br />
forced induction.<br />
Drive is channelled through a<br />
traditional six-speed automatic<br />
transmission, if you want to be<br />
involved in the gearing process<br />
there is a paddle-shift sequential<br />
system.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are also variable drive<br />
modes, there are no surprises<br />
here, they are snow, normal and<br />
sport, the latter livens throttle<br />
response considerably.<br />
In terms of fuel use, the Suzuki<br />
claims 6.2-litre per 100km on a<br />
combined cycle average, which<br />
was very close to the 7l/100km<br />
figure showing constantly on<br />
the trip computer. At 100km/h<br />
the engine turns over slowly at<br />
1750rpm in sixth gear providing<br />
a 5l/100km instantaneous return.<br />
<strong>The</strong> evaluation car was what<br />
Suzuki describes as an All-Grip<br />
variant, it tops the line-up at<br />
$41,990. Put simply, that means<br />
drive is carried to all four-wheels,<br />
normally it’s the front wheels that<br />
do the work, power sent rearwards<br />
when traction up front is<br />
compromised.<br />
<strong>The</strong> spring and damper rates<br />
are such that the suspension is<br />
firm enough to keep the tyres in<br />
constant contact with the surface<br />
when undulations off-road are<br />
• Price – Suzuki S-Cross JLX,<br />
$41,990<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4300mm; width, 1785mm;<br />
height, 1585mm<br />
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />
front-wheeldrive,<br />
1373cc, 103kW,<br />
220Nm, six-speed<br />
automatic<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 8.8sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 6.2l/100km<br />
presented, yet there is a good<br />
compliance when comfort is required<br />
on a long on-road journey.<br />
I covered more distance in<br />
the S-Cross that I had intended,<br />
showing up to 280km on the<br />
odometer when I returned it to<br />
the dealership. Most of that was<br />
on highway travel and I felt fresh<br />
and relaxed after a long inland<br />
journey.<br />
When spending a lot of time<br />
inside the car you become quite<br />
familiar with the layout of the<br />
controls and the specification<br />
built into the vehicle. I can report<br />
the S-Cross wants for nothing, it<br />
gets all the modern kit for comfort,<br />
convenience and safety.<br />
Suzuki builds cars for the<br />
masses and it sells well here. I’m<br />
sure with its dramatic new looks<br />
it will continue to lure those who<br />
want something just that little bit<br />
different from their SuV.

Building in a housing subdivision<br />
invariably means the developer will require<br />
you to submit a landscaping plan along<br />
with your house design, to be approved<br />
before building commences.<br />
Just as important as considering<br />
the features for your home will be<br />
your outdoor setting. Indoor/outdoor<br />
requirements will influence your choice<br />
of house design and how it will be sited<br />
on the section for a sunny yard and best<br />
protection from prevailing winds like the<br />
easterly. Having a second courtyard area<br />
offering shelter from the north-west wind<br />
is also an advantage in Selwyn.<br />
A well thought out landscape plan will<br />
also incorporate off-street parking space<br />
for vehicles while ensuring your home<br />
is attractive from the street. You might<br />
want to factor in parking for a caravan,<br />
motorhome or extra vehicles as well as a<br />
turning circle for safe turning and exiting<br />
your property (a legal requirement for<br />
back sections).<br />
<strong>The</strong> developer will only want to see a<br />
landscape outline for the part of your<br />
property which will be on view from the<br />
street.<br />
When choosing the design for your<br />
home, address where you want hard<br />
surfaces (driveway, paths and patios),<br />
lawn, play areas and garden beds so it is<br />
suitably positioned on the section. Even if<br />
not all hard surface areas are completed at<br />
the end of the build, knowing where they<br />
will be located will be helpful.<br />
If your build is nearing completion,<br />
autumn is a good time to sow grass as the<br />
cooler morning and evening dew assists<br />
growth. As winter descends on us, ready<br />
throughout lawn is a better Christchurch<br />
option at least at the front<br />
of the section, which the developer will<br />
require to be completed before moving in.<br />

Landscaping enhances<br />
new & existing homes<br />
Landscaping presents a good first<br />
impression, attracting buyers.<br />
(another good time for seeding a lawn) if<br />
you are happy to put up with the mud over<br />
winter.<br />
When selling an existing home, putting<br />
effort into landscaping your yard could add<br />
value by presenting a good first impression<br />
and attracting buyers.<br />
You need not rip out overgrown<br />
established plants. Selective culling and<br />
pruning can make a huge difference<br />
to the look of a garden. Avoid hacking<br />
everything down low. Instead take out<br />
sprawling branches and thin shoots,<br />
leaving a solid trunk; planting flowers like<br />
lobelia, primula, pansies and polyanthus<br />
underneath for impact. Add a layer of<br />
mulch and spray the lawn for weeds then<br />
follow up with lawn fertiliser to give a lush<br />
green look.<br />
<strong>The</strong> first thing people see is your home’s<br />
exterior – the cladding, colours and<br />
landscaping. Putting effort into these<br />
features has the potential to add value to<br />
new and existing properties. A garden<br />
need not be masses of work. Planning and<br />
choosing the right plants for the location<br />
and your lifestyle can create a relatively<br />
low maintenance outdoor setting while<br />
enhancing your home.<br />
