YOUNG CRIMINALS 

PLAGUE CITY 

9-year-old 

believed 

to be 

involved 

• By Sam Sherwood 

A 9-YEAR-OLD is believed to be 

involved with one of many groups 

of youth offenders behind a series 

of car thefts and burglaries in 

Christchurch. 

Last week a group of youths 

allegedly stole about $3000 worth 

of alcohol from a store in the city 

before fleeing in a stolen car. 

Police were called and observed 

the car before deploying road 

spikes, which brought it, and the 

six youths inside, to a stop. 

A police spokesperson said 

six youths were taken into 

custody. It is understood one of 

the youths allegedly cut off their 

electronically-monitored bail 

bracelet. It is also understood the 

youths ages ranged from 13-16. 

The incident comes amid a spree 

of youth offending in Christchurch 

by youth offenders.

MEET EGG, Bounce, Bunny, 

Spring, Baskett and siblings, 

saved from Bottle Lake Forest. 

The 12 lucky kittens were 

rescued from a blackberry bush 

where they had spent the night. 

Found by a member of the 

public last week, the kittens were 

delivered to the After Hours 

Veterinary Clinic. They were 

picked up by the SPCA the next 

morning. 

SPCA feline attendant Robyn 

Alberts said the kittens were 

friendly, but very hungry when 

they arrived. 

“They were . 

. . very keen for 

attention. They 

loved to be held 

and picked up. 

“They were 

pretty relaxed 

kittens, but very 

hungry.” 

Alberts thinks 

they were out in 

the forest for about a day. 

“They were in pretty good condition. 

Kittens that size and age 

can’t fend for themselves.” 

She said it was lucky the kittens 

were picked up. 

“They might not have survived 

the rain on Tuesday.” 

The SPCA thinks there are 

three different age groups among 

the kittens. 

“Some of them required the 

bottle, some were at the point 

where they’re starting to eat 

some food, and some 

are eating solid food 

really well,” Alberts 

said. 

The youngest of the group are 

estimated to be three weeks old, 

while the oldest are around five 

weeks old. 

Albert is confident the kittens 

will grow up to be healthy. 

“At the moment there isn’t 

likely to be any reason why they 

can’t all thrive.

City council head of

reminder messages will be 

sent to residents via the 

Christchurch Bins app. 

“The app is a great way to 

check when your bins are 

due to go out,” she said. 

“If you see a neighbour 

putting out their bins for 

collection on the wrong days 

over the Easter and Anzac 

Day period, please let them 

know about the changes.’’ 

The Styx, Metro and 

Parkhouse EcoDrops will also 

be closed on Good Friday but 

will be open for the rest of the 

long weekend. 

Banks Peninsula transfer 

stations will be closed on Good 

Friday and Easter Monday but 

open on Saturday and Sunday. 

On Anzac Day, all transfer 

stations and EcoDrops will be 

closed. 

“They’re doing really well so 

far,” she said. 

The kittens have been placed in 

foster homes for round-the-clock 

care. 

RESCUED: These Easter kittens will soon be ready for their new homes. 

Before they can be put up for 

adoption, the kittens must reach 

eight weeks old, so they can be 

desexed and vaccinated. 

However, there might be a 

backlog in getting them to their 

forever homes. 

“We have heaps of kittens 

available for adoption at the 

moment. 

“Once they are cleared we can 

get these ones up for adoption,” 

Albert said. 

The SPCA in Christchurch has 

70 cats available, including kittens. 

“We’ve definitely had an increase 

this year,” Alberts said. 

“(The rise in kittens) comes 

down to people not desexing 

their animals.”

a kitten, contact the SPCA

Kids behind car thefts, burglaries 

Onlookers assaulted 

• By Nathan Morton 

A POLICE officer and two 

people were assaulted on 

Monday night and a 13-year-old 

was road-spiked in a vehicle 

incident. 

A teenager has been taken 

into custody and referred to 

youth aid and a 14-year-old 

is appearing before the Youth 

Court. 

On Tuesday a store on 

Langdons Rd in Northcote was 

robbed shortly after 3pm. 

Three youths entered the store 

and stole items before making 

an attempted escape. Outside 

the building, two members of 

the public found themselves 

involved in the situation and 

were assaulted. Police arrived 

at the scene and shortly 

afterwards, located the suspects. 

One of the youths assaulted 

a police officer who received 

minor injuries as a result. 

A 14-year-old was arrested 

at the scene and taken into 

custody. They were due to 

appear before the Youth Court 

today in relation to the incident. 

Meanwhile, a young teenager 

in New Brighton attempted a 

joyride on Tuesday night. Police 

spotted a vehicle of interest on 

Cottonwood St about 2am. 

The vehicle did not stop for 

police. A spokesperson said 

they did not initiate a pursuit. 

Instead, road spikes were 

deployed and brought the 

vehicle to a stop on Castledown 

St, only 2km from where the car 

was spotted. A 13-year-old was 

taken into custody and will be 

referred to youth services, police 

confirmed. 

Petrol station ram-raid 

EARLY yesterday morning, 

four people were arrested 

following a ram-raid at a 

NPD petrol station in 

Yaldhurst. 

The stolen vehicle and suspects 

were later found by police in 

Ferry Rd, Woolston. 

They will be referred to Youth 

services. 

•From page 1 

The 9-year-old understood to 

be among the groups is suspected 

of being involved in at least two 

incidents over the last week 

involving stolen cars. In one 

of the incidents, a BB-gun was 

fired from a vehicle, injuring 

someone’s eye. 

Canterbury police metro area 

commander Superintendent 

Lane Todd said police attended 

a number of incidents allegedly 

involving the same group of 

young people last Monday and 

Tuesday, including a fleeing 

driver incident on Tuesday where 

a vehicle they were in failed to 

stop when signalled. 

“The vehicle fled and a pursuit 

was not initiated, and the vehicle 

was located crashed a short time 

later. There were no injuries and 

four young people were taken 

into custody. They have been 

referred to Youth Services,” Todd 

said. 

There have been several 

incidents involving the groups in 

recent weeks, including youths 

driving in a convoy of stolen cars 

before one crashed into a lamp 

post and others using crowbars to 

try and break into a dairy before 

ramming the doors with a stolen 

car. 

Police also found two youths 

suspected of stealing a car with 

fishing knives, a tyre iron and 

vise grips. The youths were taken 

home, but several hours later they 

were found after allegedly trying 

to break into a car. Some police 

cars have also been rammed by 

youths. 

A police source said staff were 

seeing a “continual drop in age” 

in youth offenders. 

“I think that’s a very 

concerning aspect because for us 

it’s now dropping very strongly 

into that non-prosecutable group 

and that’s causing us headaches 

because we can’t bring any 

control to that, we can’t bring any 

meaningful accountability. 

“There is still the activeness of 

the higher age level which just 

continues on as it always has, 

but this younger group what we 

are seeing is just that repetitive 

nature of their offending 

because they’re getting caught, 

they’re getting returned home 

and they’re out and gone 

within hours and back into the 

offending.” 

Todd said youth offending is 

an issue that is being experienced 

right across the country at 

present, with 

Canterbury “no 

exception”. 

“Police is 

committed to 

working with 

our partners and 

communities to 

prevent youth 

offending, Lane Todd 

support victims 

of crime, and hold young 

offenders to account in a 

meaningful and effective way. 

“Effectively dealing with youth 

offenders provides a unique 

opportunity to prevent future 

harm in our communities.” 

Police were involved in a 

number of initiatives aimed at 

preventing youth offending and 

reoffending. 

“We recognise that in order 

to prevent future generations 

of young people from serious 

harm, we need to work in a 

collaborative way to address 

the underlying causes of youth 

offending.”

Violent rampage leads to jail 

• By Emily Moorhouse 

A TEENAGER who went on a 

violent rampage stealing young 

victims’ bikes by threatening and 

assaulting them has been told he 

can’t play the “youth card” much 

longer. 

Kaikohe Harris-Paul’s modus 

operandi was to approach his 

young victims as they biked in 

public, outnumbering them with 

his associates, and ask for a turn 

on their bike in a threatening 

manner. 

At his sentencing in the district 

court, the 18-year-old was 

told by the judge his youth was 

running out but he had time to 

turn his life around. 

The lengthy list of theft and 

robbery charges, including stealing 

a young girl’s bike while she 

was at school, were outlined in 

a summary of facts presented to 

the court. 

On February 22, one of Harris- 

Paul’s victims was biking along a 

cycleway in Papanui. One of his 

associates knocked the victim off 

his bike, valued at $2800. 

As the victim tried to get up he 

was grabbed by another associate 

by his backpack and thrown to 

the ground. 

The group stood over the 

victim and demanded he hand 

over his phone and AirPods before 

punching and kicking him 

over the body and head multiple 

times and stealing his bike. 

Harris-Paul and his associates 

stole two more bikes from 

people at Jellie Park, threatening 

one victim who tried to hold on 

to his bike that he would get a 

“bash” if he didn’t let go. 

On March 1 last year, Harris- 

Paul went to an intermediate 

school carrying the front wheel 

of a bike. 

He went to the school’s bike 

stand and removed the front 

wheel of a bike, which was 

locked to the stand, and replaced 

it with the wheel he was carrying 

before fleeing. 

On March 31 last year, Harris- 

Paul again approached a victim 

who was cycling with a friend, 

asking for a turn on their bike. 

The victim reluctantly agreed 

but then asked for it back as he 

needed to go home. Harris-Paul 

said he would go with him. 

The victim’s friend left to go 

home. 

Harris-Paul led the victim into 

an alleyway near Jellie Park and 

became increasingly aggressive, 

accusing him of getting his 

friend to call the police. 

The victim repeatedly asked 

for his bike back, saying he 

needed to go home to which 

Harris-Paul replied: “If you say 

that again, I’ll beat the s*** out 

of you”. 

He then pulled a knife out of 

his pocket and threatened to 

smash the victim before making 

off with his bike. 

But the teen’s theft wasn’t just 

limited to bikes. 

In January last year, Harris- 

Paul stole packets of steak and 

bacon from Countdown at 

Northlands by shoving them 

down his pants and leaving the 

store. 

On February 5 last year, Harris-Paul 

and a co-offender were 

seen driving a car that had been 

stolen from the owner’s driveway 

in Spreydon. That same day the 

pair went into Pascoes the Jewellers 

at Northlands, asking staff to 

try on watches. 

When given a Seiko watch, 

valued at $1425 they left the store 

without paying for it. 

Twenty minutes later the pair 

went to another Pascoes at The 

Palms and again asked to try on 

watches. 

They tried on a Seiko watch 

valued at $1200 and a G-Shock 

watch valued at $1249 before 

the co-offender said: “I will have 

that” and they both left the store 

without paying. 

A few days later, in Redwood 

Minimart Harris-Paul stole a 

phone, valued at $400 that a 

customer had accidentally left on 

the counter. 

Harris-Paul was charged with 

five counts of theft, unlawfully 

getting into a motor vehicle, aggravated 

robbery, intimidation, 

unlawfully taking a bicycle, and 

robbery. 

The Crown prosecutor said the 

harm caused to the victims was 

significant which Harris-Paul 

showed “little to no” understanding 

of. 

The prosecutor said any credit 

for Harris-Paul’s youth should 

be minimal, given his previous 

convictions. 

Judge Campbell Savage said 

the credit Harris-Paul continued 

to be given for his youth would 

not last forever. 

“I acknowledge you didn’t have 

an easy start to life but that’s not 

a card you can keep playing,” the 

judge said. 

“You’re only a kid and you’ve 

got a lot of time left, use it 

wisely.” 

The judge imposed an end 

sentence of two years and 11 

months imprisonment.

$2.5 million 

view – and a 

free Bentley 

• By Nikki Preston 

A THREE-BEDROOM luxury 

home in Akaroa has sold for $2.5 

million – more than $600,000 

above its RV. 

The fact the house 

came with a free Bentley 

could have helped with 

the price. 

The lifestyle property, 

which sits on 1.52ha off 

Purple Peak Rd, had been 

on the market for several 

years, but the most recent 

listing made it clear the 

owner wanted it sold. 

Bayleys listing agents 

Bianca Davidson and Chris 

Mangels asked buyers to ignore 

previous price indications, 

saying: “This resort-style 

property is required to be sold on 

or before auction day.” 

The vendor was also willing 

Bianca 

Davidson 

to throw in flat screen TVs, 

imported furniture, quality 

appliances and a variety of 

artworks, as well as the 2005 

Bentley Continental GT V12, to 

sweeten the deal. 

At the auction on 

Thursday, bidding kicked 

off at $1.75 million before 

grinding to a halt. 

After 20 minutes of 

negotiation, the property 

was back on the market 

with a new bid of $2.5 

million. No other bids 

were made and the 

property was sold 10 

seconds later. 

The Mediterranean-style home 

is surrounded by bush with 

impressive views over Akaroa 

Harbour. 

It has a suite of additional 

extras, such as a heated inground 

pool with automatic 

cover and retractable roof, a spa 

and a Swedish sauna. Davidson 

said the owner flew over from 

Sydney to use it a few months a 

year. 

The rest of the time it was 

maintained by housekeepers, 

project managers, builders, 

landscapers and gardeners. 

“It’s purely just been a luxury 

retreat for him when he’s been 

able to get away,” Davidson said. 

“It’s probably one of the 

most spectacular properties in 

Akaroa. 

“The garden is absolutely 

beautiful, you’ve got stunning 

views, the house offers all you 

would need – great outdoor 

flow and outdoor living spaces, 

sunrooms. 

“All the bells and whistles you 

would want for a getaway or a 

retreat.”

End of an era for 99-year-old cottage 

• By Tony Simons 

ONE OF THE oldest homes 

in the Riccarton Bush area has 

sold at auction for $1.43m to two 

former neighbours, who intend 

to demolish it and build new 

homes on the site. 

The 911sqm property at 18 

Kauri St is on the corner of Kauri 

and Rata Sts, just south of the 

bush. It includes a decaying single 

storey cottage that has been 

in the same family since it was 

built in 1924. 

Built by Tom and Daphne 

McGee, it was one of the first 

homes in Kauri St. (The site had 

been part of the Deans farm). It 

remained in the McGee family 

until the recent sale and, until 

2006, had been occupied by their 

daughter, Betty Cauldfield, who 

died that year. 

The property sold to lawyermediator 

John Hardie and his 

partner Marie Mullins, and local 

developer John Campbell. 

Hardie is well known as the 

Government-appointed investigator 

who worked with the city 

council on its housing intensification 

plan. 

“We intend to build a house 

for ourselves on the corner,” said 

Hardie. 

He and Campbell used to be 

neighbours across the street. 

Campbell said he intends to 

build his house under the existing 

building rules. It will be a 

stand-alone two-storey house in 

keeping with the character of the 

area, he said. 

The granddaughter of the Mc- 

Gee’s, Sally McPherson, said she 

will be sad to see the cottage go. 

It was our family home, she said. 

“My great-grandparents, who 

lived in Robinsons Bay on Banks 

Peninsula, could never understand 

why Tom and Daphne 

wanted to build in Riccarton, as 

it was so far out in the country,” 

she said. 

“Soon after it was built, my 

grandmother insisted grandfather 

build a stone wall around it 

to stop cows trampling the rose 

garden on their way to milking, 

where McDonalds and Westfield 

Mall is now,” said McPherson. 

She said her mother used the 

coal range in the house to cook 

and heat the water until the day 

she died. 

“It is still in there,” she said. 

The property is next door to 

a heritage-listed house built 

in 1925, now owned by peace 

campaigners Kate Dewes and 

Rob Green. 

Despite its historic past, the 

cottage at 18 Kauri St is not 

protected. 

The auctioneer opened the bidding 

at $600,000 and it went past 

$1m with at least five bidders still 

involved. 

While the final price may be a 

record for a single residential site 

in the area, in late 2021 a much 

smaller 524sqm property in 

nearby Rimu St, which included 

an old weatherboard bungalow, 

sold for $1.132m.

Netball icon’s dream home for sale 

• By Diana Clement 

CANTERBURY netball legend 

Joan Harnett-Kindley is putting 

her $4 million-plus dream home 

on the market. 

The four-bedroom designer 

property in Wānaka, where she 

and husband Don now live, goes 

to auction on April 20. 

Harnett-Kindley played 116 

internationals for New Zealand 

from 1963 to 1974, including 

three world championships, 45 

of them as captain. 

The property up for sale was 

built by Harnett-Kindley and 

her husband nearly 15 years ago, 

replacing an old bach that had 

previously sat on the 1993sqm 

section. 

The house has an RV of $4.25 

million and is a standout in 

Wanaka. It looks over a river, has 

views of Mt Gold and Mt Maude, 

and comes with a full-size tennis 

court. 

Harnett-Kindley said when 

the house was being built earthworks 

were carried out to raise 

the ground level by 4m to protect 

against flooding, with the designer 

home sitting 5m above the 

level of the original bach. 

The home is built in schist 

stone to ensure it was in keeping 

with the environment, a design 

feature that Harnett-Kindley is 

especially proud of. 

“It just belongs here. And I 

think that’s the nicest part about 

it,” she said. 

Harnett-Kindley built up a 

real estate business Christchurch 

after retiring from netball in the 

1970s, and later became a director 

of her husband’s real estate 

business in Wanaka. 

She also became a judge for 

the Master Builders house of 

the year competition. She said 

ON THE BALL: 

Canterbury 

netball legend 

Joan Harnett- 

Kindley 

played 116 

internationals 

for New 

Zealand 

before 

building up 

a real estate 

business. 

experience in the competition 

helped her with the design of the 

property, which was carried out 

by architect Ken Warburton. 

“We had a really lovely experience 

with Ken Warburton, because 

he knew what we wanted 

and the way he designed it was 

exactly the way we wanted,” she 

said. 

Harnett-Kindley, who just celebrated 

her 80th birthday, said 

she still had a passion for sport, 

playing tennis on the property’s 

court. 

But she felt the size of the 

home and section was too big for 

the couple’s current lifestyle. 

“We’re on half an acre of 

land. As one gets older it’s a 

lot of work. We’ve got to move 

while we can still enjoy the new 

(home).” 

Listing agent Anna Findlay 

said the house was one of the 

best in the area, and one of the 

few larger homes on the riverfront. 

“A lot of the properties along 

the riverfront are old original 

baches,” she said. “Land is very 

tightly held in this area.” 

Both Findlay and Harnett- 

Kindley think the house would 

appeal to Auckland buyers, 

although South Islanders have 

also been looking. 

“It could be someone for 

Auckland. People there have had 

such a bad time,” said Harnett- 

Kindley. 

“We think it could also be 

someone from here who likes the 

outlook and wants access to the 

river, the boating, the fishing and 

the skiing. It’s all here, you see, 

right on our doorstep.”

SPRAWLING: The road leading into the 170ha Roydon 

Quarry on Jones Rd between Templeton and Weedons. 

Above – The end of the bund on Curraghs Rd, which will 

be filled in November. 

Investigation finds marginal issue at 

contentious Templeton quarry 

• By Daniel Alvey 

A “MARGINAL noncompliance” 

has been found at 

Roydon Quarry following an 

investigation. 

A complaint 

was made to the 

Selwyn District 

Council by former 

Selwyn mayor 

Bill Woods in 

Bill 

Woods 

February, who 

had numerous 

concerns over the 

construction of 

the quarry by Fulton Hogan on 

Jones Rd, between Templeton 

and Weedons. 

On-site processing and sales 

at the quarry are set to get under 

way in mid-2024. 

In a letter seen by The 

Star, each of Woods’s concerns 

are addressed by the district 

council. 

The first was the removal of 

saleable material from the site 

to the Fulton Hogan Pound 

Rd facility, which the district 

council found to be “inert material,” 

therefore not breaching the 

consent. 

The second issue raised by 

Woods was the incomplete construction 

of the bund, with gaps 

on Jones Rd and Curraghs Rd. 

The gap on Jones Rd was 

considered marginal non-compliance 

by the district council. 

The gap was left due to overhead 

powerlines, with Fulton Hogan 

proposing fencing and planting 

to take its place, with the district 

council to work with Fulton 

Hogan to find a solution. 

The gap on Curraghs Rd is due 

to be filled once the perimeter 

walkway is completed, with 

the walkway and associated 

viewing platform to be finished 

in November. 

“Fulton Hogan will continue 

to constructively work with 

council compliance teams and 

complete works on the perimeter 

bund and other site activities 

to meet the consent conditions 

requirements before the site 

becomes fully operational in 

mid-2024,” a Fulton Hogan 

spokesperson said in response to 

the investigation. 

Woods also said the bund was 

supposed to be made entirely 

of topsoil, which was found to 

not be the case by the district 

council. 

The district council said the 

consent has been “actively monitored,” 

since 2020, with the last 

site visit taking place on March 6. 

Woods has responsed to the 

investigation by asking for an 

affadvit from either the district 

council or Fulton Hogan providing 

evidence of inert material not 

being sold, its composition, and 

where it is being stored. 

In response, Selwyn District 

Council regulatory manager 

Susan Atherton did not think it 

necessary to provide an affidavit 

to Woods. 

“Council compliance staff 

frequently visit the site as part of 

the resource consent monitoring 

process and we have investigated 

the issues raised with us,” 

Atherton said. 

Woods has not accepted the 

district council’s response and 

told The Star he is now looking 

for other evidence that supports 

his allegations.

Mother’s heartbreak: ‘Did his 

life mean nothing to you?’ 

• By Emily Moorhouse 

A WOMAN who was on 

methamphetamine when she 

caused a crash that killed her 

fiancé has continued to re-offend 

following her sentence of home 

detention. 

Now the dead man’s mother 

has asked her former daughterin-law 

if her son’s life meant 

nothing to her. 

Shizelle Harland was behind 

the wheel with meth in her 

system when she drifted on to 

the wrong side of the road. She 

collided head-on with a van, 

killing her fiancé Joshua Ryder. 

On Friday, Harland appeared 

in the district court, where she 

was re-sentenced for the fatal 

2021 collision. She was also 

sentenced on new charges. 

In an emotional victim impact 

statement, Ryder’s mother 

told the court losing a child 

is the worst pain she has ever 

experienced. 

“I still experience the pain of 

losing Josh every single day 

. . . how do you get over losing a 

child?” 

She expressed disappointment 

and concern that Harland 

continued to breach home 

detention, the sentence she 

received for the crash that killed 

Ryder. 

“Did his life mean nothing to 

you?” Ryder’s mother thought 

about her son every day and said 

the realisation he was dead hit 

her like a “punch in the tummy.” 

She said home detention was a 

“small price to pay for a life.” 

On July 7, 2021, Ryder was 

driving home from hospital after 

visiting a friend in Christchurch. 

Harland and another passenger 

were in the car. 

Harland asked Ryder to pull 

over so she could drive because 

he was tired and swerving over 

the road. 

She overtook a car at excessive 

speed, south of Dunsandel. 

Shortly afterwards, she drifted 

onto the wrong side of the road 

and collided head-on with a van. 

Both Ryder and the other 

passenger weren’t wearing seat 

belts. 

Ryder died at the scene, while 

the other passenger, who suffered 

broken ribs, a broken wrist, a 

cracked pelvis, an air bubble in 

his lung and extensive bruising 

to his lower body, was taken to 

Christchurch Hospital. 

Harland was also taken to the 

hospital and subsequent tests 

showed she had meth in her 

system. She was also diagnosed 

with a moderate brain injury. 

She was charged with 

aggravated careless driving 

causing death and injury 

and was sentenced to home 

detention. But it wasn’t long 

before she breached it. 

The summary of facts stated 

in May last year, Harland stole a 

caravan from a property. 

In August, she stole an axe and 

kindling from a shed at a private 

dwelling, and then in November 

police searched her home and 

found an air rifle, 61.29 grams 

of cannabis, a used meth pipe, a 

modified bong and a cannabis 

PRISON TIME: Shizelle Harland was the driver involved in 

a collision that killed her fiancé Joshua Ryder. 

grinder. Police also found 0.41g 

of cocaine and a stolen electric 

bike valued at $4399. 

The Crown said imprisonment 

was the only appropriate 

outcome, given Harland had 

continued to breach her previous 

sentence of home detention to 

re-offend. 

Harland’s lawyer Matthew 

Bonniface said time spent in 

custody was a much-needed 

“reality check” for his client, 

who was genuinely 

remorseful for her 

actions. 

“The person I speak 

to over the phone now 

in prison is entirely 

different to the one 

I met a few months 

ago.” 

He said the 

address at which 

Harland was serving 

her home detention 

sentence had set her 

up for failure, leading to her reoffending 

as she “fell victim” to 

Matthew 

Bonniface 

pre-exposed struggles with drug 

addiction. 

Bonniface said following the 

death of Ryder, Harland did 

well for a while but then gave 

up on herself. He said she now 

understood compliance with 

her sentence was a necessity and 

she was willing to participate in 

rehabilitation. 

Judge Brian Callaghan said 

while Harland seemed to be on 

a road to recovery, imposing 

another sentence of home 

detention would not be 

responsible. 

“I accept that custody 

hasn’t been an easy 

task for you, but it’s not 

supposed to be,” he told 

her. 

He sentenced Harland 

to 14 months in prison 

for the new charges 

and seven months for 

the driving charges 

resulting in Ryder’s death. 

Callaghan imposed an end 

sentence of 21 months in prison.

Burglary victim 

frustrated by 

police progress 

over break-in 

GETAWAY: The distinctive Mercedes Sprinter van, registration 

KPD407, involved in the Burnham and Tai Tapu burglaries. 

• By Daniel Alvey 

A MAN who got into a scuffle 

after surprising a burglar in his 

home says police don’t appear to 

be acting quick enough to find 

the offender. 

The Burnham resident was 

visited by police last week for 

the first time since the burglary 

on March 9 – even though he 

identified who he thinks is the 

offender two days after the 

break-in. 

“It just seemed to be no further 

ahead from the day it happened,” 

he told The Star. 

The burglar drove off in a 

distinctive white Mercedes 

Sprinter van, registration 

KPD407 – the same vehicle 

involved in a burglary in 

Tai Tapu on Boxing Day. 

Police have identified the 

registered owner of the van, but 

it appears it is not the person 

who committed the burglaries. 

Police told the Burnham 

resident last week mugshots were 

being gathered of a potential 

suspect, but they had to be 

sourced from Wellington. 

But two days after the scuffle 

with the burglar, the resident 

said he chanced on a police 

officer when he was at Rolleston 

BP. The officer turned out to be 

from the Ashburton station. 

He didn’t know the officer but 

discussed his burglary and she 

showed him a photo on her 

cellphone of a person he believed 

was the burglar. 

“She said do you think this is 

the guy, and it probably did look 

like him, but that was the only 

shot I have seen,” he said. 

Police who went to his house 

last week took away a flavoured 

milk container possibly left by 

the burglar. The resident found 

it soon after police had attended 

on the day. He rang the police 

105 number to let them know 

it could contain forensic DNA 

evidence. He was surprised it 

had taken them so long to pick 

it up. 

The resident put it in the fridge 

in a plastic bag to preserve any 

forensic evidence. 

“I thought it should have 

DNA and possibly it could have 

fingerprints,” he said. 

Police conducted a crime scene 

examination on the day they 

dusted the house for fingerprints. 

“They told me it was 

unlikely there was going to be 

fingerprinted because he was 

likely to be wearing gloves. 

“They dusted things like 

handles and drawer pulls, but 

nothing showed up,” said the 

resident. 

“I know they have many 

serious things going on, but I 

think this is serious enough. The 

guy is likely out scoping other 

places, he’s got a mobile home so 

he can cover a large area.” 

The van involved in the 

burglaries has been sighted 

numerous times at a social 

housing unit in Woolston. 

A nearby resident has called 

police to alert them to it. A person 

who comes and goes to the unit 

where the van is parked matches 

the description of the suspect. 

He is well tanned, stockily built, 

heavily tattooed on the arms and 

legs and is middle aged. 

Police would not answer 

specific questions from The Star. 

“Further information was 

received in relation to this matter 

over the last week and police are 

following all potential lines of 

inquiry,” a spokesperson said. 

Advantage - Emma 

KORU NUTRITION 

Emma has lived and 

breathed tennis her entire 

life. She plays with friends 

at the local club, talks 

about it at work and is 

passionately competitive. 

However, as the years 

have gone by, her joints 

have begun to betray her. 

She began feeling off the 

pace. Even simple tasks 

like walking up the stairs 

or carrying in bags of 

groceries became tiring. 

As Emma’s motivation 

to get onto the court 

was fading, she began to 

worry that if she didn’t do 

something soon, her friends 

would start to notice. 

That’s when a colleague 

at work introduced her to 

Koru FX. They’d been 

using it for a few months 

and was raving about how 

much it had supported 

her own joint health... 

Sceptical at first, Emma 

decided that anything was 

worth a try. 

The following week, 

Emma arrived at the courts. 

Awaiting the start of her set, 

she quietly applied some 

of the Koru FX across her 

knees and wrists. 

Usually, her joints would 

pulsate and distract her 

from the game but as 

Emma dashed from side 

to side returning shot after 

shot, she discovered that 

her joints were feeling 

supported. 

What she didn’t know 

was that as she played, 

the antioxidants she’d just 

applied to her joints were 

getting to work. All she 

could notice was a slight 

cooling sensation as she 

continued with the game. 

With Koru FX, Emma 

felt like she had a secret 

weapon over her opponents 

on the court, but she also 

had a secret to share with 

the people she loved most. 

Emma went on to win 

that game... (But sadly, she 

lost the next...) 

If you’re like Emma 

and looking for joint and 

muscle support, you can 

try the all-new Koru FX 

Pro. 

Koru FX Pro is full 

of the same powerful 

antioxidants as original 

Koru FX but with increased

A CURIOUS seal has made 

its way to a rock on Te Roto o 

Wairewa/Lake Forsyth – 6km 

from its ocean home. 

Lincoln University senior 

lecturer Rob Radics spotted the 

large seal in the freshwater lake 

while he was kayaking. 

“I’ve never seen a seal on that 

lake before,” he said. 

“I am not an expert. However, 

this is a common seal in New 

Zealand and she 

is a female by 

her size. 

“I suspect the 

seal escaped 

the storm, high 

winds and sea 

last week to the 

lake. 

“Now she is 

either stuck or 

likes the place. Unfortunately, 

the first one is more likely,” he 

said. 

Radics said the seal would 

have to climb over a 10m-high 

loose gravel hill to return to the 

sea. 

“That seal should not be there. 

(The lake) is freshwater and has a 

high level of toxic algae,” he said. 

Radics believed the freshwater 

may have a detrimental effect on 

the seal’s health. 

“If she cannot relocate to 


Lost seal rocks out under 

the sun on Lake Forsyth 

Rob Radics 

the sea, she potentially will be 

poisoned by the toxic algae or 

have issues due to the freshwater 

living.” 

ESCAPED: The seal was 

seen sitting on a rock in 

Lake Forsyth. 

PHOTO: ROBERT RADICS 

Radics was also worried about 

what the seal has been eating. 

He called the Department of 

Conservation’s emergency line 

when he came across the seal. 

DOC Mahaanui supervisor 

biodiversity Craig Alexander 

said it is unusual for a seal to 

be in the lake but he was not 

concerned about its welfare. 

“We don’t think it’s stuck and 

expect it will find its way back 

to sea when it’s ready. So we’re 

not planning to intervene here,” 

Alexander said. 

“Seals can be curious and 

exploratory by nature and, from 

time to time, they can pop up in 

unexpected places.” 

He had never seen a seal on 

the lake before and DOC has 

not received any reports of them 

being spotted there before. 

Alexander said anyone 

who sees a seal should stay at 

least 20m away and exercise 

caution near the animal. If 

you spot a seal on Lake Forsyth, 

phone 0800 362 468 to report it 

to DOC.

Te Kaha 

reaching 

for the sky 

THE CONCRETE structure of 

Te Kaha – Canterbury’s Multi- 

Use Arena – is now emerging 

vertically from ground, with 

the first of the concrete columns 

breaking cover earlier this 

week. 

The first four five-metre-tall 

columns were boxed and filled 

with concrete. 

Te Kaha project delivery chief 

executive David Kennedy said 

the work in the south-west corner 

of the site signalled the start of 

the next phase of the 30,000-seat 

arena’s construction. 

“From this point on, people 

are going to see real tangible 

progress happening on-site as 

the contractors begin the vertical 

construction,” said Kennedy. 

The ground improvement work 

was completed ahead of schedule 

two weeks ago, while the 

substructure continues to work 

north and east across the site. 

“At this point, about 75 per 

cent of the southern stand 

and about half of the western 

stand substructures have been 

completed,” Kennedy said. 

“We’re pleased with progress 

and that the project remains in 

line with its programme and 

budget.”

Tiny birds continue to thrive 

Ice bath 

record 

smashed 

• By Geoff Sloan 

CANCER SURVIVOR Josh 

Komen has set a new unofficial 

New Zealand ice bath record. 

On Wednesday last week, the 

35-year-old managed to stay 

in the icy water for 21 minutes. 

His stint also raised more than 

$85,000 for charity. 

The Greymouth cancer 

survivor was raising awareness 

and funds for the Bone Marrow 

Cancer Trust and Ranui House. 

That’s where the two-time 

leukaemia survivor and his family 

stayed while he underwent 

life-saving treatment at nearby 

Christchurch Hospital. 

“For me, this is not about a record. 

It’s just about raising awareness 

for Ranui House and we’ve 

really done that and I’m absolutely 

stoked with the result.” 

About 40 other hardy dippers 

joined Komen in the two-degree 

water for shorter stints.

TWO PAIRS of New Zealand’s 

smallest bird continue to live 

in bush near Akaroa – more 

than a year after they were first 

spotted. 

The rifleman were first seen in 

the reserve by a city council park 

ranger in late 2021. 

Typically, rifleman prefer a 

more mature forest than that on 

Banks Peninsula. 

City council 

biodiversity 

team leader 

Alison 

Evans said 

rifleman are 

at extremely 

Alison Evans high risk from 

predators. 

The birds choose to nest in 

holes of native trees, where they 

are preyed on by rats, possums 

and other pests. 

“Rats and stoats easily get into 

their holes in trees. 

“They’re like sitting ducks in 

there,” Evans said. 

To protect the current 

Misty Peaks Reserve rifleman 

population of four and boost 

their numbers, the city council, 

Refuge Ecology and Banks 

Peninsula Conservation Trust 

placed 51 nesting boxes in the 

area during April last year. 

“In many areas, there aren’t 

HOPEFUL: City council ranger MacKenzie Flight checks a rifleman nesting boxes. 

many native trees left with these 

kinds of holes. By providing 

boxes you’re providing them 

with a safe place,” Evans said. 

The boxes are designed to 

replicate the typical natural 

nesting place of the birds. 

At the beginning of the project, 

the city council was aware of two 

male and two female riflemen/ 

titipounamu living on Banks 

Peninsula. A year later the same 

two pairs are still living in the 

area. 

While the number of rifleman 

has not increased at the reserve 

since the project began, Evans 

is pleased the two pairs are still 

around. 

“We haven’t seen any using the 

boxes, but we wouldn’t expect 

them to be using the boxes just 

yet,” Evans said. 

She does not think the city 

council will see the birds in the 

boxes for about two or three 

years, when they need a place to 

nest. 

“In the meantime, what we’ve 

been concentrating on more 

is the predator control there,’’ 

Evans said. 

“The city council is working 

will Pest Free Banks Peninsula, 

primarily on possum control in 

the area. 

“We’ve got AT220 traps in 

(Misty Peaks Reserve) which 

reset themselves. 

“We want to know which 

species are going to flourish as a 

result of no possums. 

“We’ve been cleaning up a lot 

of possums from those traps, so 

that will be really good to have 

them gone.” 

Rifleman are very sparsely 

dispersed, which makes them 

hard to track down. 

Due to this, Evans does not 

have an estimate of how many 

rifleman there are across New 

Zealand. 

“There’s very few around, 

they’re quite secretive birds. 

“But they’re hanging in there.” 

In the next two to three years, 

Evans’ goal is to see rifleman 

flourish.

HILLMORTON HIGH SCHOOL 

Ann Brokenshire, Principal’s Message 

APRIL 2023 

Kia Ora Koutou, 

Term One has been very busy with a range of 

activities both in and out of classrooms. Students 

who participate in the wide breadth of activities do 

indeed become well-rounded and accomplished 

young people. 

Some of these activities have included Polyfest, an 

evening at Te Aratai College celebrating Pasifika 

student leadership and academic excellence, 

summer sports, students practising for Showquest, 

our Year 9 Camps, along with a vast array of clubs, 

such as Science and robotics. 

Early next term, the construction of our new 

Ministry of Education funded Sports Centre begins. 

We are wanting to build a large garage as part 

of this venture to hold our well-stocked outdoor 

education gear used for the likes of our Year 9 

camps. We have raised two-thirds of the funds 

required and would welcome any community 

donations to see us finish fundraising for this 

project. 

With input from our parents, whānau and the wider 

community we are able to make school activities 

available to all, no matter their background. 

We thank you all for helping us to achieve our 

vision of “With our communities we nurture wellrounded 

and accomplished young people, prepared 

and ready for life.” 

Year 9 camps at 

Orton Bradley 

The annual three-day Year 9 camps at Orton 

Bradley Park remain an integral component of the 

transition into Year 9 at Hillmorton High School. 

They epitomise the school values of 

Turangawaewae, Whanaungatanga, Mana and 

Ako. Key highlights for most of the students were 

the water-based activities (kayaking, coasteering 

and the jetty jump) based in the beautiful 

Diamond Harbour area. While, for many others, 

their best memories are the mountain biking, 

especially the Big Dipper, Gaga Dodgeball battles, 

bush walks, spotlight or the high ropes course to 

name a few. 

We would like to acknowledge the Level One 

Outdoor Education student leaders and peer 

support leaders. The leadership, initiative, service 

and support they provided all classes on camp 

was absolutely stunning! It was truly authentic 

leadership, strengthening relationships across 

the class / school, assisting students to step 

out of their comfort zone and making it a truly 

memorable experience for all. Thank you. 

Finally - a big thank you to the Halswell Lions 

Club for continuing to deliver the school lunches 

daily and Adventure Specialties Trust for your 

expertise and professionalism in delivering safe 

and adventurous camp experiences. Bring on 

Year 9 camps 2024! 

Hillmorton to Houston 

This will soon be the reality for The Tigers, a Year 10 robotics team, who, supported by staff 

and family, are going to Dallas, Texas this month to compete against teams from Canada, 

China, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America in the 2023 VEX Robotics 

World Championships. Their mission – to build the best robot. 

Competing with Tobor (robot in 

reverse) The Tigers have had a year 

to design and build a robot that 

can fire orange discs across the 

floor – both with pre-programmed 

commands and with a controller 

– landing them on a target. They 

gained entry to the world-level 

championships through being a 

finalist at the national championships 

in November last year; the only 

South Island team to make the cut. 

Topping off the competition, the 

students will visit NASA’s base in 

Houston while away. 

Go The Tigers! 

TAPA class - Polyfest and 

community tour 

Our TAPA class attended the 2023 Christchurch Polyfest, held for the first time at Hagley 

Park in front of a record-breaking audience. The 45-student class performed pacific dances 

from Samoa, Tonga, and the Cook Islands. 

Following the success of our Polyfest performance, the TAPA class was able to satisfy some 

of the many requests from the community’s primary schools to perform for their students, 

visiting Addington, Our Lady 

of the Assumption, Hoon 

Hay, Spreydon, and Rowley 

schools. 

Going back to former schools 

and reconnecting with 

teachers and principals was a 

great experience for many of 

the TAPA students. 

We look forward to further 

developing and maintaining 

these relationships in the 

future. 

International students are back! 

With New Zealand’s borders open in 2023 it has been wonderful to welcome international 

students back to Hillmorton High School. The year started soundly with 56 students 

enrolled for Term One from a range of countries - Cambodia, Chile, Germany, Hong Kong, 

Japan, Republic of Korea, Thailand and Viet Nam - and for a range of time, from two weeks 

to multiple years. 

One of the highlights of the orientation programme was a day at Living Springs where the 

students had to learn to work together to solve challenges, and to demonstrate they were 

stronger as a group than as individuals, despite their language and cultural differences. 

It has been a pleasure having the international students at Hillmorton this term as they 

have discovered their Turangawaewae in a place far from their natural home. They have 

impressed regularly with their Mana and willingness to engage in Ako in their second or 

third language. 

With enrolments strong for the remainder of the year, we look forward to the ongoing 

success of the international programme while enhancing the global citizenship 

opportunities of all Hillmorton students. 

OPEN DAY 2023 

Monday 29 May, 5-7pm 

Our Principal, Ann Brokenshire, will be 

speaking at 5pm. Organised tours will follow.

By-elections: Ratepayers shouldn’t foot the bill 

The Star (March 30, page 

1,) reported that two recentlyelected 

civic politicians chose to 

leave their new positions. 

One (Reuben Davidson) 

has moved on to more responsibility 

in the Labour Party. 

Fair enough, I suppose. 

The other (Shreejana Chhetri) 

has resigned because she prefers 

to stay in her present job. Shame 

on her and the Labour Party for 

allowing this to happen. 

A by-election will cost many 

thousands of taxpayer dollars. 

If people submit their names for 

election, it is expected that they 

will take up the 

job if elected to it. 

One could 

extend this line of 

thinking to our 

last New Zealand 

prime minister 

but I was so happy 

to see her go that I 

really didn’t mind 

her breaches of her 

Reuben 

Davidson 

often-stated promises to stand 

in the upcoming general election 

(made late last year). I did, 

however, get up 

and dance on the 

sidewalk when 

I first heard the 

good news. 

-Lorne Kuehn, 

Avonhead 

Shreejana 

Chhetri 

My belief is that 

those who create a 

by-election should 

pay, not the ratepayers nor taxpayers 

should it be a minister. 

I also agree that the candidate 

who polled second in elections 

should be promoted to the vacant 

position. Even if that person 

resigns on medical grounds. 

Neither of the two councillors 

should have stood knowing 

they were going to resign. As for 

Chhetri, she should have thought 

about her family commitments 

before standing. 

-Raymond Hira, Shirley 

Future for Local 

Government Review 

Last week Craig Pauling asked “What 

will local government look like?’’ 

From my understanding of the bill 

before Parliament, all regional councils 

will be replaced with 15 “local’’ councils. 

With all the major work of city councils 

then being done by these regional 

councils, our city councillors will be 

reduced to being “wellness officers’’ – 

whatever that means. 

However you may feel about our present 

councils, you will have no control over 

how our taxes/rates are spent with this 

new centralised, unelected body. 

They could pool all the funds together 

for their area and decide the best use is to 

make bike lanes on our one-lane bridges, 

or make completely new bike-only bridges 

next to our one-lane bridges, and there are 

a few of those around. 

From my viewpoint, the future of local 

government is anything but local.

FIREARMS LICENCE HOLDERS 

THINGS YOU NEED 

TO KNOW BEFORE 

‘THE ROAR’AND 

GAME BIRD SEASON 

Information from Te Tari Pūreke - Firearms Safety Authority 

If you’re a firearms licence holder, you’ll need 

to know about changes to the storage and 

transport rules for firearms and ammunition, 

and changes to the seven rules of firearms 

safety. 

Regulations were updated in February 2022, 

and to help Kiwis make sense of those 

changes, Te Tari Pūreke, the new firearms 

regulator, published a Secure Storage and 

Transport Guide. 

You can download a copy of the Secure 

Storage and Transport Guide from www. 

firearmssafetyauthority.govt.nz/firearms-safety 

Storage and transport for firearms and ammunition, key points 

Transportation 

If you’re driving to a hunting location, your 

firearm needs to be inoperable during your 

travel and, ideally, concealed from view. This 

means removing the bolt or an essential part 

(or if that’s not possible, applying a trigger or 

cable lock), or transporting the firearm in a 

locked carry case. 

The ammunition needs to be separately and 

securely stored in a locked glove box or similar 

storage area, if practical. 

And please, whatever you do, once you’ve 

finished using your firearm, lock it away. Never 

leave any firearms in your ute, shed, home or 

vehicle unsecured at any time. 

The only exceptions to the firearms and 

ammunition transport rules are if you’re

gun safe that has a separate lockable 

compartment with a different key than 

the key for the gun safe. You must 

keep these keys separate.

cupboard. 

Taking a break when you’re travelling 

with firearms 

For those who travel with firearms to hunt 

locations, your inoperable and secured firearm 

can be left in your vehicle unattended, for 

example during a break in a journey, for up to 

60 minutes. But you need to lock your vehicle 

and stay within the immediate area or vicinity

CLOSE CALL: St Bede’s College led for the majority of the Maadi Cup race on Saturday but a late surge by Hamilton Boys’ High meant the winner had 

to be decided through a photo finish. 

PHOTO: PICTURE SHOW LTD 

Golden haul at Maadi Cup 

Christchurch schools 

have dominated 

the pinnacle of New 

Zealand high school 

rowing – the Maadi 

Cup regatta. Jaime 

Cunningham reports 

FOUR YEARS after they made a 

pact to row through high school 

together, the St Bede’s College 

under-18 coxed eight have won 

the Maadi Cup. 

In arguably the greatest race 

in the regatta’s history, Hamilton 

Boys’ High almost pipped St 

Bede’s at the end of the 2km 

course on Lake Karapiro on 

Saturday. 

Commiseration hugs quickly 

turned into leaps of joy for St 

Bede’s when the final result 

showed the crew had won by 

0.06sec. The college last won the 

Maadi Cup in 1991. 

Head coach Dale Maher was 

near the finish line and thought 

his crew had held on for the win 

but admitted he couldn’t bear to 

watch the race. 

“I give Hamilton credit as they 

were the fastest boat crossing 

the line but obviously not fast 

enough,” he said. 

“I saw the guys giving each 

other hugs and I thought we 

hadn’t done it. Then I saw them 

jumping up and down. It was a 

real emotional roller-coaster.” 

Maher has now completed 

the rare feat – and may even be 

the first – to coach two different 

schools to victory in the Maadi 

Cup and Levin Jubilee Cup. He 

coached St Andrew’s College 

to its first Maadi Cup in 2017, 

led St Margaret’s College to 

victory in 2001 and won four 

consecutive titles with Rangi 

Ruru Girls’ School from 2007 to 

2010. The former New Zealand 

representative can now add 

St Bede’s completion of the 

so-called “triple” – gold in the 

premier under-18 pair, four and 

eight events – to his impressive 

coaching resume. 

The school racked up its 

highest medal tally ever at the 

regatta with four gold, two silver 

and two bronze. The under-18 

coxed eight also recorded the 

fastest time in Maadi Cup 

history with 5m 42.17sec, 

breaking the record by almost 

10sec. 

“We knew 5min 51sec was 

the fastest time, so it was always 

going to be our target,” Maher 

said. 

With St Bede’s novice coxed 

four winning gold and the 

novice eight finishing with 

bronze, a third Maadi Cup win 

in the years to come does not 

look out of reach. 

“The goal is always to retain 

the kids,” Maher said. 

“Winning medals is good 

and all, but the experience and 

buying into the culture is the 

most important. Sometimes 

success isn’t the be-all and endall. 

“I’m more proud of all the boys 

taking up rowing, achieving 

their goals and the outstanding 

culture change at St Bede’s 

rowing.” 

Rangi Ruru continued its 

stellar Maadi Cup form from last 

year at the regatta, entering 15 

events and winning 11, plus two 

silver and bronze medals. 

Coxswain Annabel Wynn- 

Williams led Rangi Ruru to the 

Levin Jubilee Cup for the third 

time in a row on Saturday. She 

also coxed the school’s top crew 

to the 2021 and 2022 titles. The 

17-year-old took home four golds 

and a silver at the regatta. 

Rangi Ruru retained the Star 

Trophy, awarded to the school 

with the most points. Its crews

claimed first and second in Levin 

Jubilee Cup race and won the 

Dawn Cup for the 16th time. 

Cashmere High School had 

an impressive regatta, finishing 

seventh on the Star Trophy 

points table, ahead of rowing 

powerhouses Hamilton Boys’ 

High, St Andrew’s College and 

Christ’s College. 

In 2021, Cashmere had a 

boat in the Maadi Cup for the 

first time and last year finished 

fourth in the most prestigious 

race of the regatta. This year 

the school claimed gold at the 

regatta for the first time and not 

just one, but three. 

The under-15 coxed octuple 

won the first gold medal for 

Cashmere as second-to-last 

qualifiers who unexpectedly 

raced home in 7min 28.47sec in 

lane one. 

Poppy Wyndham and Abbie 

Higgins then claimed two golds 

– one in the under-16 double, 

and the other alongside Eliza 

O’Meagher, Thea Murdie and 

coxswain Meg Macdonald in the 

under-16 coxed quadruple sculls. 

St Andrew’s won the school’s 

first gold in a premier under-18 

event since they claimed the 

Maadi Cup in 2017. Freddy 

Todhunter won the girls’ 

under-18 single sculls. She 

finished in 8min 1.06sec, just 

over a second ahead of Otago 

Girls’ High School’s Harriet 

Thompson. 

Christ’s College picked up gold 

in the under-15 octuple sculls. 

The crew finished 0.17sec ahead 

of Hamilton Boys’ High, with 

the school’s second crew close 

behind in fourth. 

St Margaret’s College finished 

second to rivals Rangi Ruru 

in five A finals on Friday and 

Saturday but managed one gold 

in the under-16 coxed eight, 

ahead of Rangi Ruru’s No 1 crew. 

They also picked up bronze 

in the under-18 coxed eight, 

clocking 6m 35.78sec, behind 

Rangi Ruru’s two boats, followed 

by Christchurch Girls’ High in 

fourth. 

Villa Maria College also won 

gold in the under-18 novice 

quadruple event. 

Christchurch rowers were 

awarded for their performances 

at Maadi Cup, with 17 to trial for 

the New Zealand under-19 team 

and 31 for the under-18 South 

Island team. 

Maher has been named New 

Zealand men’s under-19 sweep 

team coach and hopes to be 

coaching a few of his St Bede’s 

rowers at the next level. 

“It was on the back of my mind 

a little bit and I would like to 

have followed them from taking 

their first strokes to the start of 

their international careers,” he 

said.

Four teams target first 

win in Southern League 

• By Jaime Cunningham 

FOUR TEAMS are still 

searching for their first win in 

the Southern League, despite 

the scoring frenzy in the second 

round. 

Ferrymead Bays, Christchurch 

and Cashmere Technical all 

recorded their second wins last 

weekend. Dunedin City Royals 

and Green Island were the other 

winners in round 2. 

Nomads, Coastal Spirit, FC 

Twenty11 and Nelson Suburbs 

will be chasing their first points 

when they kick off tomorrow 

afternoon. 

Newcomers FC Twenty11 

will be at home on Good 

Friday to take on Selwyn 

United who are coming off the 

back of a 5-0 loss to Dunedin 

City Royals. 

FC Twenty11 will want to 

at least score their first goal of 

the season after a promising 

first half against Green Island 

on Saturday in which both 

teams were scoreless. Harrison 

McLean scored two goals in the 

second half – one of which was 

in the first minute of added time 

– to give Green Island a 2-0 win. 

Coastal Spirit will also be 

searching for a goal this week 

when they take on Green Island 

in Dunedin on Friday. 

The Linfield Park-based 

side have had a tough start to 

the league, going down 3-0 to 

neighbouring Ferrymead Bays 

in the first round, followed by a 

4-0 loss to defending champions 

Christchurch last week.

League last year, on their home 

ground. 

Declan Hickford 

recorded the first goal for 

Nomads this season in the 

team’s 2-1 loss to Ferrymead 

Bays last week. 

Nomads will aim to play a 

tidier game, after four yellow 

cards in the second half 

against Ferrymead Bays. A 

mix-up between defender Jacob 

Anderson and goalkeeper Tobin 

Wilson prevented Nomads 

gaining their first point in the 

league. Anderson headed the 

ball into Nomads’ net in the 

87th-minute. 

Ferrymead Bays will want 

to extend their winning run to 

three against Nelson Suburbs 

at home, while Cashmere 

Technical and Christchurch 

United will also look to continue 

their dominant start to the 

season. 


HALSWELL and Christchurch 

United are the latest clubs to 

form a women’s team to play 

in the South Island qualifying 

league. 

In their debut game as a combined 

team on Monday night, 

Halswell-Christchurch fought 

back from a 2-0 deficit to level 

the score in the last 20 minutes. 

They are is the second side in 

the women’s league to merge, 

after FC Twenty11 and Nomads’ 

combined team. 

Halswell United general 

manager Olivia Smith said the 

decision was made late last 

year, when the club approached 

Christchurch United with the 

idea to merge their top women’s 

players. 

“We realised we had a few 

players who were at that level, 

and basically on our own it 

wasn’t going to happen,” Smith 

said.

Another women’s team merger 

MERGE: Halswell’s Emma Batey is one of 19 players in the 

newly-merged Halswell-Christchurch side. 

“We knew Christchurch 

were losing a few players so we 

approached them. It’s about 

working together so our players 

can play football.” 

Coached by Tony Gumley, 

Halswell-Christchurch have a 

squad of 19 and will play at both 

the United Sports Centre and 

Halswell Domain this season. 

Christchurch United’s blue 

strip will be the team’s home 

jersey while Halswell’s green 

will be their away strip. 

Smith said Halswell is focused 

on keeping players and the decision 

to merge was about making 

sure their best players stay at the 

club and progress through the 

grades. 

“We’ve got a big platform 

from the 10th grade up and one 

of the biggest girls’ programmes 

in Christchurch,” Smith said.

Clinical 

Linwood, 

resurgent 

Hornby 

unbeaten 

• By Will Evans 

PERENNIAL club rugby league 

grand finalists Linwood Keas 

and Hornby Panthers are the 

only undefeated teams after the 

opening fortnight of the season. 

Making their first appearance at 

home this year, defending champs 

the Keas carved out an impressive, 

clinical 30-6 victory over 

Northern Bulldogs on Saturday. 

Linwood led 16-0 at halftime 

through tries to wingers Uili 

Uili and Michael Fili, and 

second-rower Maoluma Sakaria. 

Fullback Jerome Taefu bagged 

a second-half brace and hooker 

Kyle Amer also dotted down as 

the Keas’ onslaught continued, 

while fullback Nick Wain scored a 

consolation try for the visitors. 

The Panthers, coming off a 

last-minute win over the Halswell 

Hornets in round 1, again came 

from behind in another thriller 

to stay unbeaten – a 26-22 result 

against a gallant Eastern Eagles 

outfit. 

Panthers winger Seamus Stack 

and Eagles centre Peneli Peneli 

both finished an absorbing 

encounter with two tries apiece. 

The Hornets bounced back 

from their season-opening heartbreaker 

with a emphatic 44-14 

defeat of Riccarton Knights at 

Halswell Domain. 

Halswell led 18-4 at halftime 

and sealed the two competition 

points with five more tries after 

the break. 

The premiership takes a break 

over Easter.

Matatū coach takes China job 

FARAH PALMER Cup head 

coach Blair Baxter has taken 

up a new role as assistant coach 

with the China women’s sevens 

team as they seek to qualify for 

next year’s Olympics. 

“Definitely some nerves 

heading into this opportunity. 

However, with that comes 

growth,” said Baxter. 

“There was a chance here to be 

a full-time coach, get my hands 

dirty, and work on the technical 

and tactical aspects that’s going 

to help me be a better coach 

long-term. My main motivation 

is a chance to grow. It’s so far 

removed from what I know. 

The language barrier and a 

completely different culture 

will force me to become a better 

coach.” 

Baxter has coached the 

Canterbury FPC side for the last 

three years, leading the team 

to three home finals and two 

titles. He was Matatū head 

coach during their Super Rugby 

Aupiki success, where the team 

secured a last minute 31-33 

victory over Chiefs Manawa in 

the final on March 25. 

“I was lucky to get the 

opportunity with FPC three 

years ago. 

“It’s provided me 

exponential growth as a person 

and coach. 

“Women’s rugby is a fantastic 

area of our game to be involved 

in. Everyone is there for the 

right reasons and wants the 

best and I’ve been lucky to work 

with amazing individuals who 

consistently drive to be the best 

they can be.” 

The shift to a full-time role 

with China is the next step in 

a coaching pathway that saw 

Baxter start at Belfast before 

spending seven years coaching 

the Sydenham colts and 

premiers. He has also coached 

the Cantabrians, Canterbury 

B, metro and under-19’s before 

coaching the FPC side. 

The vacant FPC head coach 

role will be addressed in the 

coming weeks, a Canterbury 

Rugby spokesman said.

Hornby lose rugby 

SPORT 27 

league servant 

• By Will Evans 

HORNBY RUGBY league has 

lost one of its most dedicated 

servants. 

Grant Woodgate (right) died 

last week aged 79. 

Woodgate gave nearly threequarters 

of a century to the code 

and his beloved club. He started 

playing rugby league for Hornby 

as a seven-year-old and was 

named NZRL’s Volunteer of the 

Month in October last year. In 

between he was a premiershipwinning 

player, a coach, manager, 

trainer, strapper and club 

president for the Panthers, and 

was bestowed with life membership 

of the club. 

Woodgate’s family has been 

closely associated with Hornby 

for more than 100 years. His 

father, Bill, played 22 seasons of 

senior football for the club, was 

a long-serving club captain – as 

well as representing Canterbury 

and South Island – and went on 

to become a coach, manager and 

Hornby life member. 

Grant’s older brothers, Brent 

(who played alongside Bill) and 

Rex, were in Hornby’s 1952 and 

’58 championship-winning 

teams. 

Woodgate began playing 

juniors in the ‘flyweight’ grade, 

eventually making his premier 

debut as an 18-year-old and 

featuring in Hornby teams that 

took out the last four first-pastthe-post 

championships from 

1963-66. 

Another brother, Neil, was 

unable to play rugby league 

due to injury, but he was club 

captain when Hornby, coached 

by Rex, won the inaugural CRL 

premiership grand final in 1967 

with a side that included Grant 

and youngest brother, Schoolboy 

Kiwi Billy. 

Woodgate kicked the matchwinning 

field goal as Mel 

Cooke-coached Hornby won 

the 1969 grand final 10-9 over 

Marist-Western Suburbs. Billy 

also shared in that grand final 

success, scoring a try. 

Turning down the opportunity 

to play for Canterbury B in 

1967 because it coincided with 

his wedding, Woodgate was 

later a player-coach for Hornby’s 

premier and premier reserves 

teams, continuing to pull on the 

boots for the club until 1977. 

“Grant was a rugged, rangy 

loose forward – one of those 

head-down, arse-up, ‘follow me, 

you buggers’ types that every 

good team needs,” former Press 

rugby league reporter John 

Coffey said. 

“And he certainly helped 

make Hornby good in his day. 

But, unlike most retired players, 

he never left the scene. Grant 

was there for decades after 

his playing days, as a coach, 

manger, trainer, mentor and 

bloke who would pick up the 

discarded bandages if no one 

else did.” 

Woodgate was the epitome of 

the backbone every grassroots 

sports organisation needs to 

survive and thrive. Though 

unassuming, he was central to 

every success Hornby Panthers 

have had. That he was October 

2022’s NZRL Volunteer of the 

Monthreflected how much he 

dedicated to the club to the very 

end. 

It was fitting that Hornby’s 

last match before he passed 

away was a thrilling, last-minute 

victory over archival Halswell, 

while a day after his death the 

Panthers, with heavy hearts, 

honoured his memory with a 

hard-fought win over Eastern 

Eagles.

CELEBRATION: Cashmere beat defending champions 

Elmwood in the premier men’s tennis interclub final on 

Saturday. 

Interclub tennis 

title icing on the 

cake for centenary 

• By Diane Keenan 

CASHMERE’S WIN in the 

premier men’s interclub final 

was the icing on the cake for 

the club celebrating its 100-year 

anniversary last Saturday. 

Cashmere beat the defending 

champions Elmwood with the 

loss of only one match, a result 

that defied the closeness of the 

final. 

“The score really didn’t reflect 

just how tight it was with two of 

our wins decided in third set tie 

breaks which could have gone 

either way,” a humble Cashmere 

team captain Matt Meredith says. 

Rain was a major factor in 

this year’s final which had to be 

postponed from being played 

outdoors at Elmwood’s home 

courts the previous week. The 

ham went in the fridge and 

the buns and sausages into the 

freezer in anticipation of a final 

the following week which clashed 

with Cashmere’s centennial 

celebrations. 

However persistent showers last 

Saturday morning again dogged 

the best laid plans to play the tie 

at Elmwood. The decision to go 

indoors was made mid-morning. 

The faster indoor court surface 

suited the big-serving, hardhitting 

Cashmere players. In 

the top doubles, brothers James 

and Tim Meredith were on fire 

beating Elliot Darling and Tom 

Batt easily. In the second doubles 

Matt Meredith and Harry Weeds 

beat James Spence and Eddie 

Batt 14-12 in the super tiebreak 

after surviving a match point. 

The wins gave Cashmere a huge 

advantage going into the four 

singles matches. 

James Meredith had an easy 

win for Cashmere, while his 

team-mate Weeds came back 

from a set down to win the 

second set in a tiebreak and then 

clinch the deciding super tiebreak 

against Lawrence Darling. 

Elmwood’s Tom Batt secured 

his team’s only win beating Matt 

Meredith in a tight, high quality 

game. The number two singles 

between Tim Meredith and Eddie 

Batt was called off with Meredith 

leading by a set as Cashmere 

had an unassailable lead. Matt 

Meredith says while the centenary 

was a “driver” to win from 

a club perspective, it was not the 

only motivation. “We lost the 

final to Elmwood last year and 

we were all determined to turn 

that around,” he says. “We always 

want to win when we play them. 

They are a top team – great mates 

and very good players.” 

Meredith says players in both 

teams have been playing with or 

against each other for years. 

“It has been a great season 

of premier tennis and we now 

look forward to next year when 

hopefully we will have eight 

strong teams in the competition,” 

he says.

Black Cap, Magician score awards 


KATE ANDERSON and Chad 

Bowes were the big winners 

at the Canterbury Cricket 

awards, taking out the three key 

accolades. 

The event at the Ara Institute 

of Canterbury’s city campus 

on Friday night wrapped up a 

successful season for both the 

men’s and women’s teams. 

Anderson took out the 

Magicians batter and player 

of the year and was also voted 

by her fellow teammates as the 

player’s player of the year. Her 

95-run cameo in the Super 

Smash final in February won 

the vote to be the supporter’s 

performance of the year. 

Bowes, who recently debuted 

for the Black Caps, was awarded 

the Canterbury Kings’ batter and 

player of the year and was also 

voted player’s player of the year. 

Anderson scored 536 runs in 

the 2022/23 Super Smash at an 

average of 59.56, while Bowes 

was a standout for Canterbury in 

all three formats – scoring a total 

of 1011 runs. 

Will O’Rourke was awarded 

for his 25 wickets in the Super 

Smash and Ford Trophy with 

the Kings’ bowler of the year 

title. Gabby Sullivan won the 

same award for the Magicians, 

following her 21 wickets in the 

Super Smash competition – the 

most of any bowler. 

Retiring Canterbury legends 

Amy Satterthwaite and Todd 

Astle’s careers were also 

recognised by former teammates, 

coaches and family. 

The event concluded a season 

which saw Canterbury make 

four different finals in the men’s 

and women’s competitions. 

Satterthwaite led the 

Magicians to her sixth and final 

Super Smash title in February, 

where she took off the bails for a 

run out to get the final wicket of 

the game. 

The Magicians also made the 

Hallyburton Johnson Shield 

final, while the Kings qualified 

for the men’s Super Smash final 

for a second consecutive year. 

The men continued their form 

into the one-day format, making 

the Ford Trophy which they lost 

to the Central Stags last Tuesday.

Rising star follows Ko’s path 

• By Neville Idour 

CANTERBURY golf 

professional Momoka Kobori has 

continued her rise on the world 

scene with a stunning suddendeath 

playoff win at the Women’s 

New South Wales Open. 

A clutch par putt on the 

final hole of regulation and 

another on the first playoff 

hole at Forster-Tuncurry Golf 

Club secured her victory after 

rounds of 70, 70, 

71. Lydia Ko won 

the tournament 

in 2012 at the age 

of 14. 

“It’s awesome to 

win the same event 

as her, as I am 

Lydia Ko 

trying to follow in 

her footsteps. I am 

very happy about that,” Kobori, 

24, said. 

Kobori continued her fine 

form at the weekend with a 

fourth placing at the Australian 

Women’s Classic at Bonville. 

Her first round 75 was a hurdle 

but she finished strongly with 69 

and 68. 

In the NSW Open it was a 

dramatic final day. Kobori was 

paired with amateurs Claire Shin 

and Sarah Hammett in the final 

group and took off with birdies 

on holes 2,3 and 4 to lead by four 

shots. 

However, rather than a 

procession to a comfortable 

victory, there was be a wild chain 

of events, especially on the back 

nine where the lead changed 

hands several times. 

Ranked world No 208, Kobori 

bogeyed the sixth hole and a 

birdie to Shin reduced her lead 

to two. At the 10th Shin eagled 

the par 5 from eight feet while 

Kobori made a birdie and the 

lead was one. 

Bogeys by both players on the 

11th, while Hammett birdied 

then eagled the par 5 15th from 

25 feet, saw all three players tied 

on -8. 

Then Hammett took the lead 

on the 16th, a par 3, with a birdie 

from 10 feet as light rain was 

falling and darkness began. 

More drama would follow. 

Hammett messed up 17 with a 

chip shot from one side of the 

green racing over the other side, 

leading to a double bogey. 

DRIVE: Momoka Kobori 

secured victory at the 

Women’s New South 

Wales Open with rounds 

of 70, 70, 71. 

Then on the 18th, amazingly 

Kobori’s ball rolled off the tee 

just before she made contact 

resulting in a second shot from 

the right rough. She found the 

bunker left of the green while 

Shin had a 10 foot birdie putt for 

the win after Kobori’s bunker 

shot was eight feet short. Shin 

missed and Kobori holed hers to 

ensure a playoff. 

So to the ninth hole a par 3 

where Shin almost holed her 

tee shot which would have been 

in harmony with the wild back 

nine. Kobori was short of the 

green and chipped to six feet. 

Shin’s makeable birdie putt 

missed and raced four feet past. 

Kobori again showed her mature 

temperament by holing her 

knee knocker. Shin then saw 

her putt lip out leaving Kobori a 

not unexpected yet astonishing 

winner. 

“Those (last two putts) were 

huge. They were both huge but 

that putt on the last, knowing 

what was on the line, to stay in 

with a chance, was especially so,” 

aid Kobori.

Wills and Enduring 

Powers of Attorney 

People often confuse the term attorney 

with the term executor. An attorney is 

someone that you appoint to act for you 

while you are alive. This may be a general 

power of attorney, in one off situations, for 

example, if you are going to be away when 

a document is required to be signed. An 

enduring power of attorney allows your 

attorney or attorneys to act if you lose 

mental capacity. This is important if you 

have a health issue or accident that leaves 

you lacking mental capacity and requiring 

an attorney to make decisions for you. 

Having enduring powers of attorney set up 

to cover your personal care and welfare and 

another to cover property is a key safeguard 

to protect your wishes if you can no longer 

make these decisions or communicate them 

yourself. 

An attorney’s power to act ends when 

you die. This is commonly not understood, 

and some attorneys believe that they 

can continue to deal with the deceased’s 

property including the bank accounts. It 

is another common misconception that 

money to cover the funeral expenses needs 

to be withdrawn before the bank accounts 

are frozen. Firstly, the attorney is no longer 

authorised to act and secondly it is not 

necessary as most banks have a process of 

allowing the payment of funeral expenses 

before probate is granted by application 

from the executors or their lawyer. 

When you die your latest Will becomes 

effective and the person or persons you 

have named as executors are able to start 

their role of dealing with your estate. Your 

executor’s first duty is to deal with your 

funeral arrangements. If you have expressed 

a wish in your Will for burial or cremation 

or for a particular service or to not have a 

funeral service at all, your executors can 

take these into account. Your executors are 

not bound to follow the wishes expressed 

in your Will regarding your funeral 

arrangements, so it is a good idea to discuss 

these with the person or persons you are 

appointing to check that they are agreeable 

to carrying out your preference. It is also 

helpful to let the persons you are appointing 

know where your original Will is held and 

where you keep a copy. 

Setting up enduring powers of attorney 

allows you to decide who you want to act 

for you while you are alive and particularly 

for when you cannot make decisions 

yourself. Without these deeds someone 

would need to apply to the court to be your 

welfare guardian and/or property manager 

if you lost mental capacity. And completing 

a Will allows you to appoint the people you 

trust to carry out your funeral wishes and to 

state how your assets are to be distributed. 

If you die without a Will someone needs to 

apply to the High Court to administer your 

estate and the distribution is set out in a 

formula in the Administration Act 1969. 

At Harmans we have a specialist seniors 

team to help with any queries and to assist 

you to set up the deeds that best meet your 

needs. Give Phillipa Shaw a call on

Do you know Glucosamine has 

numerous health benefits other 

than just joint health? 

Many know of glucosamine sulphates 

amazing benefits for joint and connective 

tissue health and support. Glucosamine is 

a compound that occurs naturally in your 

body and is present in the cartilage of your 

joints as well as in your skin, bones, nails 

and ligaments. Taking glucosamine in 

sufficient amounts provides the body with 

more building blocks to help maintain and 

repair all your joints, ligaments, tendons, 

connective tissue, bones, and nails as well as 

supporting healthy skin, hair, blood vessels 

and more. As we age the body’s production 

of glucosamine declines and this is a reason 

why supplementation may be beneficial. 

Studies have found in athletes’ glucosamine 

may protect joint tissue by preventing 

the breakdown of cartilage. One study 

demonstrated that supplementation with 

1500mg to 3000mg of glucosamine daily 

for three months significantly decreased 

cartilage breakdown in college soccer 

players as well as professional rugby players. 

A comprehensive review of multiple studies 

on glucosamine sulphates (GS) benefits 

for osteoarthritis was published in a 

peer-review medical journal “Therapeutic 

Advances in Musculoskeletal Disease” in 

December 2020. The review found that

a daily dosage of 1500mg of “GS” can 

positively affect the cartilage structure, 

reduce pain, and improve joint function, 

and also glucose metabolism in people with 

osteoarthritis. 

Glucosamine has many other surprising 

health benefits. Animal studies show 

it can extend lifespan by around 10%. 

Several large human studies have 

shown glucosamine supplementation to 

significantly improve cardiovascular health 

and reduce mortality. 

Glucosamine has been shown to reduce 

age-related inflammation now considered 

a leading cause of aging and mortality. 

Glucosamine has also been shown to 

protect your DNA against damage, improve 

cellular health, create more mitochondria 

and improve energy levels.

naturopaths, medical herbalists, and staff

Do You Know GLUCOSAMINE 

Offers Far More Benefits 

Than Just 

Joint Health? 

Glucosamine sulphate (GS) occurs naturally in the 

body. It is used in the formation of bones, nails, 

ligaments, tendons, connective tissue & cartilage 

– the material in all moving joints that protects and 

allows them to move freely. Stiff, painful & swollen 

joints are a sign of insufficient or damaged cartilage 

(osteoarthritis). As we age the body’s production 

of (GS) may decline & this is likely the main reason 

for developing joint problems. A comprehensive 

review of studies on (GS) benefits for osteoarthritis 

suggests that a daily dose of 1500mg (GS) can 

positively affect the cartilage structure, reduce pain 

& inflammation as well as improve joint function. 

(GS) appears to have many other surprising health 

benefits. Animal studies show it can extend lifespan 

by around 10%. Several large human studies 

have shown (GS) supplementation to significantly 

improve cardiovascular health & reduce mortality. 

Also, it has been shown to protect DNA against 

damage, improve cellular health by creating more 

mitochondria as well as improve energy levels.

Present your home with 

instant curb appeal 

The saying “first impressions count” 

can be especially true when looking 

to sell your property. Property photos 

are chosen to show the best features; 

however, seeing the property from the 

street can sway a decision. Potential 

buyers can be drawn in by instant curb 

appeal or discouraged by what they see. 

It is easy to have an attractive frontage 

with little effort. So what can you do to 

improve your odds of selling by having 

instant curb appeal? 

Ensure your property is easy 

to find with a clearly displayed 

house number, and if your 

mailbox is sitting on a lean or 

looking a bit battered, upgrade 

and get a new one that suits 

your property. Perhaps locate 

your house number on the 

house or fence in a more 

prominent place. 

One of the easiest fixes is to 

have trees and shrubs neatly 

trimmed, with deadwood removed. 

Adding pot plants with green foliage or 

a splash of colour can be inviting, add 

interest and enhance a dull or drab area. 

However, if there are already planters 

or pots, remove any dead plants or 

deadhead flowers and ensure no weeds. 

Also, remove any weeds from edgings, 

concrete joins and spouting if they’ve 

managed to find a home there. 

If there is any moss, algae or grime on 

driveways, walkways, patios, and decks, 

throughout 

using a water blaster 

Christchurch 

will quickly clean 

them up. Likewise, front gardens that are 

mulched, have stones or bark might be 

The front door is an 

important feature, so 

refresh it with a coat of 

paint or stain 

best with a freshen up. 

The front door is an 

important feature, so refresh 

it with a coat of paint or stain 

and clean any glass surrounds. 

Perhaps it’s time for new 

door handles or fixtures with updated 

hardware. Remove any cobwebs from 

the entrance, have clean doormats and 

sweep away any leaves. Remove any 

shoes or shoe racks from the front door. 

Touch up any shabby paintwork, e.g., 

fences, letterbox, employ a good window 

cleaner or clean them yourself and have 

your lawns mowed and possibly re-sown 

if needed. 

Curb appeal aims to make interested 

parties want to view your home. Use 

paint, plants, colour, and fixtures so that 

your entranceway is clean, fresh and 

welcoming.

Flooded again: The street 

that traps its residents 

Thursday, April 6, 2023 


HEIDI OUDEMANS breathed 

a sigh of disdain on Saturday, 

watching rain begin to pour 

outside her home and knowing 

exactly what would follow. 

For over a decade, Oudemans 

has watched floodwaters rise 

outside her Avondale home 

and trap her and residents of 

40 other homes on her street, 

potentially for days on end. 

It happens every single time it 

rains, and the locals have had 

enough. 

“If it doesn’t stop raining for 

a day or two, it becomes Lake 

whenever rain fell. Since the 

quake, rainfall has caused the 

nearby Avon River to rise and 

with nowhere to go, water will 

flood surrounding streets. 

Residents say city council 

workers cleared three nearby 

drains last week, something 

which “hadn’t been done for 

ages”, according to one local. 

Despite this work, ongoing 

drainage problems are understood 

to be creating the flooding 

issues. 

“Last night, I looked out my 

bedroom window and there was 

a great puddle there that wasn’t 

there before, it just gets worse 

and worse,” said Oudemans. 

Another resident, who runs 

a mechanics business out of his 

garage, has to park cars elsewhere 

in case of rainfall causing 

flooding and damaging his 

clients’ vehicles. 

It is understood an elderly 

resident called an ambulance on 

one occasion – only for flooding 

to stop the emergency vehicle 

Michigan ou there,” Oudemans 

said. “It’s horrible, nobody can 

get out and nobody can get in.” 

Oudemans lives on Tenby Pl, 

which backs onto Chisnallwood 

Intermediate. 

The street has always been 

low-lying and before the February 

22, 2011 earthquake the 

ground would get soft and wet 

from reaching her home. 

Six months ago, Oudemans 

bought a 4WD vehicle as her 

previous car wasn’t capable of 

treading through water. 

“Most of us have had to buy 

one,” she said, referring to her 

neighbours. 

“We can’t get out any 

other way. We came back from 

a weekend down south one time 

and our car was stuck a the 

letterbox, we had to leave it until 

the rain resided.” 

Floodwaters will typically rise 

to knee height, Oudemans said. 

Last week saw floodwaters 

remain for four days straight 

as the rain continued to fall. 

It was 20 hours before anyone 

could get their cars out of their 

driveways.
