THE RAMPAGE<br />
CONTINUES<br />
• By Melissa Nightingale<br />
and Heidi Slade<br />
HORDES OF roving youths<br />
continue to smash their way<br />
into business across the city –<br />
and it is all being captured on<br />
CCTV security cameras.<br />
At 6am on Saturday morning,<br />
a Barrington Shopping Centre<br />
worker was left unnerved after<br />
witnessing a group trying to<br />
smash into <strong>The</strong> Warehouse<br />
with what looked like golf clubs<br />
and hammers.<br />
<strong>The</strong> witness, who did not<br />
want to be named, was working<br />
near <strong>The</strong> Warehouse when he<br />
saw two cars pull into the car<br />
park at about 6am.<br />
“It looked like early<br />
customers, which is nothing<br />
unusual . . . they parked just<br />
out the front of <strong>The</strong> Warehouse<br />
then backed up, which sort of<br />
made us stop and look and go<br />
‘that’s really strange at this hour<br />
to have two cars parked parallel<br />
backed up’,” he said.<br />

THE HIGH school teacher<br />
who allegedly shared a sexually<br />
explicit video of himself online<br />
is now on leave.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Christchurch school is<br />
investigating the circumstances<br />
surrounding the publication<br />
and sharing of the video last<br />
month, which reportedly<br />
showed the teacher engaged in<br />
a sex act.<br />
<strong>The</strong> principal said the school<br />
is still limited in what it can say,<br />
except to add the staff member<br />
is currently on leave and “we<br />
continue to work through the<br />
school’s processes … to ensure<br />

Sex act video: Male teacher on leave<br />
THE CITY’S restaurants will<br />
be trying a new way to attract<br />
customers over winter – and<br />
there are no tables or chairs.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new food ordering service<br />
Tiny Door will launch in the<br />
central city in July.<br />
<strong>The</strong> concept is like a click and<br />
collect restaurant, except different<br />
restaurants will share the<br />
kitchen on a rostered basis, and<br />
all collections are at the same<br />
place through the same small<br />
front door in the wall.<br />
<strong>The</strong> idea is a new approach<br />
in the fight by restaurants to<br />
combat fading interest in dining<br />
out.<br />
Tiny Door is co-founded by<br />
Ally and Fabian Kulpe, and<br />
Chris and Tori Spragg. Ally said<br />
the quirky idea offered a new,<br />
fun way for restaurants to engage<br />
with customers.<br />
“Restaurants can book a slot<br />
within our Tiny Door facility,<br />
whether it be breakfast, lunch or<br />
dinner, and then they come in<br />
and provide their food offering.<br />
“It’s a really cool way to give<br />
the hospitality producers of<br />
Christchurch an opportunity,<br />
and give people in Christchurch<br />
a cool experience with different<br />
food offerings,” she said.<br />
Ally said people would be able<br />
to order online or direct from the<br />
site, which would be a kitchen<br />
hidden behind a tiny door.<br />
“It’s about having quality food<br />
in the grab-and-go setting,” she<br />
said.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re would be three different<br />
food partners at the site every<br />
day for breakfast, lunch and<br />
dinner, and a chef inside would<br />
hand diners the meals through<br />
the tiny door.<br />
Food partners for the first Tiny<br />
Door include Earl, Bootleg Burger,<br />
Bar Yoku and Smokey T’s.<br />
“I love that it gives a lot of the<br />
we meet all our responsibilities.”<br />
Parents and students at the<br />
school have been freely discussing<br />
the incident after the video<br />
was circulated. It had allegedly<br />
been circulating for some time.<br />
A police spokesperson said<br />
they are aware of concerns and<br />
associated rumours about the<br />
smaller guys a chance to get their<br />
creative juices flowing. Through<br />
this model, we are going to<br />
explore some different stuff that<br />
isn’t on our everyday menus,”<br />
said Smokey T’s owner Tristin<br />
Anderson.<br />
Anderson believes Tiny Door<br />
is going to be a gamechanger for<br />
smaller businesses starting out,<br />
as it eliminates high overheads.<br />
“It introduces you to the latest<br />
technology available. To be able<br />
video, but police are not investigating.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> has chosen not to<br />
identify the school.<br />
“Our commitment (is)<br />
to a fair process and being<br />
transparent with our school<br />
and community,” the principal<br />
said.<br />
Tiny idea could be next<br />
big thing for restaurants<br />
VENTURE: Tiny Door co-founders Fabian Kulpe, Chris Spragg and Ally Kulpe. Inset – the<br />
Tiny Door in progress.<br />
to use that without having to<br />
put your hands in your pockets<br />
yourself is incredible, it takes all<br />
that pressure off,” said Anderson.<br />
“We can concentrate on what<br />
we’re good at – that’s cooking –<br />
and Tiny Door takes care of the<br />
rest.”<br />
Ally said if the Tiny Door<br />
idea was successful in the city it<br />
would be taken to the rest of<br />
the country.<br />

Syrupy study<br />
A Canterbury University of<br />
team has spent two years<br />
investigating the viability of<br />
producing maple syrup at scale<br />
within New Zealand, with trial<br />
plantations established near<br />
Hanmer Springs and Geraldine.<br />
Said department of chemical<br />
and process engineering<br />
postdoctoral fellow Dr Jamie<br />
Robinson: “Our aim is to get<br />
a better understanding of how<br />
maple sap is generated, and<br />
eventually to improve the<br />
ability to predict yields.” <strong>The</strong>re<br />
are plans to extract a small<br />
amount of sap from the Hanmer<br />
trees either this winter or<br />
next.<br />

About seven people jumped<br />
out of the cars and began taking<br />
items from the boots before<br />
rushing forward and “smashing<br />
the sh*t out of the front door of<br />
<strong>The</strong> Warehouse”.<br />
“(<strong>The</strong>y were) trying to smash<br />
the front doors of <strong>The</strong> Warehouse<br />
using what looked like<br />
hammers and golf clubs. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
made a few holes and they were<br />
kicking the absolute crap out of<br />
the doors.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> store’s alarms activated,<br />
but the witness said the group<br />
appeared unfazed.<br />
“Even one of the real short<br />
ones that looked like a real<br />
young kid was in there swinging<br />
like crazy.”<br />
Eventually the group “obviously<br />
decided they weren’t going<br />
to get in” and turned away.<br />
However, one of the group<br />
turned towards the shop the man<br />
was working in and appeared<br />
to raise a weapon briefly in his<br />
direction before heading back to<br />
the waiting cars.<br />
“It was a little bit nervewracking.<br />
I didn’t know if<br />
they were adjusting their<br />
face covering or if they were<br />
threatening a weapon or what<br />
they were doing. I was hoping<br />
they weren’t going to come in to<br />
us.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> man said his business<br />
opens at 6am and the incident<br />
now has him wondering whether<br />
they should be open at that time.<br />
“What do we do? Do we lock<br />
ourselves in, do we not have<br />
customers, do we have to arm<br />
ourselves? <strong>The</strong>re’s so much<br />
running through your mind.”<br />
He was concerned at the<br />
brazen attitude of the attackers,<br />
who didn’t seem to care about<br />
committing violent crimes with<br />

One of the group even<br />
appeared to be filming the<br />
attack, he said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> incident has left him<br />
worried about what might<br />
happen again – whether the<br />
attack was random or if they<br />
were going to come back and try<br />
again, or try to “retaliate” against<br />
the man and his co-workers for<br />
witnessing it.<br />
“You’ve seen it on the news for<br />
so long, you know it’s around,<br />
but it really hits home when you<br />
see it first-hand and know that<br />
they’re probably going to get<br />
away with it.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> man said police were<br />
“amazing” and showed up “super<br />
quick”.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y were there within a<br />
couple of minutes.”<br />
Just over two hours earlier four<br />
young teenagers, including one<br />

Chlorination row: Petition launched<br />
SENIOR CITY councillor<br />
Sam MacDonald wants the<br />
Government to intervene in<br />
the chlorination row which has<br />
blown up this week.<br />
National water regulator<br />
Taumata Arowai has told the<br />
city council it will decline its first<br />
application for a chlorine exemption.<br />
This has prompted fears<br />
chlorine will become permanent<br />
in the city’s water supply.<br />
MacDonald yesterday<br />
launched<br />
a petition calling<br />
on Local Government<br />
Minister<br />
Kieran McAnulty<br />
to rein in Taumata<br />
Sam<br />
MacDonald<br />
Arowai, saying<br />
the rules were not<br />
pragmatic enough<br />
for Christchurch.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> rules are obviously way<br />
out of whack with where the city<br />
is,” he said.<br />
But McAnulty ruled out getting<br />
involved, saying it was a<br />
matter for the city council and<br />
Taumata Arowai.<br />
MacDonald’s move follows<br />
<strong>May</strong>or Phil Mauger’s strong<br />
words on Tuesday over the issue.<br />
He believed Christchurch would<br />
never be free of chlorine.<br />
“My (council) colleagues and I<br />
are outraged to learn of this decision<br />
and know many Christchurch<br />
residents will feel the same,”<br />
Phil<br />
Mauger<br />
he said.<br />
“While we’re<br />
being forced to<br />
chlorinate our<br />
water supply, we<br />
will continue to<br />
fight and advocate<br />
for the people<br />
of Christchurch.<br />
“We’ve heard<br />
that if we want to<br />
gain exemptions for any of our<br />
water supply zones, we’ll need to<br />
go over and above the standards<br />
set out by the Government. To<br />
achieve this, we’d have to make<br />

He said the city council agreed<br />
with Taumata Arowai being<br />
established, but it had always<br />
been assured exemptions would<br />
be achievable.<br />
“Now we are being told that<br />
the goal posts have moved again<br />
and that chlorination will effectively<br />
be mandatory.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> Taumata Arowai ruling<br />
means the remaining 20 per<br />
cent of the Christchurch and<br />
Banks Peninsula water supply is<br />
now required to be chlorinated,<br />
which will take a number of<br />
weeks.<br />

<strong>The</strong> process started this week<br />
and it will be the end of the<br />
month before the first areas have<br />
chlorine reintroduced.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council always<br />
intended to apply for exemptions<br />
on a zone-by-zone basis and<br />
started the process in October<br />
2022 with an application for<br />
Brooklands-Kainga, as this<br />
water zone was identified as<br />
having the best chance of<br />
getting an exemption due to the<br />
quality of infrastructure and<br />
groundwater.<br />

Kāinga Ora accused of keeping<br />
• By Tony Simons<br />
SOCIAL HOUSING agency<br />
Kāinga Ora has been accused of<br />
being secretive over a housing<br />
development it is building.<br />
Halswell residents have<br />
signed a 157-signature petition,<br />
demanding work stop on a<br />
17-dwelling social housing<br />
development at Copper Ridge on<br />
Halswell Junction Rd.<br />
<strong>The</strong> complex (mainly twostoreys)<br />
is now partly completed<br />
after two companies obtained resource<br />
consents last year, started<br />
building, then sold the project to<br />
Kāinga Ora six weeks ago.<br />
Residents told the Waipuna<br />
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community Board the first they<br />
learned about it was when flyers<br />
were delivered to nearby homes<br />
last month.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council confirmed it<br />
knew Kāinga Ora had an interest<br />
in the development back when<br />
the consent applications were<br />
first lodged, but that makes no<br />
difference.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> council approves developments<br />
based on the rules in<br />
the District Plan. <strong>The</strong> developer<br />
or owner of units is not something<br />
we consider in a resource<br />
consent process,” said planning<br />
and consents head John Higgins.<br />
<strong>The</strong> situation is similar to<br />
another controversy early<br />
CONTROVERSIAL: Residents are demanding work stop on this 17-dwelling social<br />
housing development at Copper Ridge on Halswell Junction Rd.<br />
this month when former New<br />
Zealand First MP Shane Jones<br />
accused Kāinga Ora of sneaking<br />
20 new medium-density<br />
homes “looking like battery-cage<br />
enclosures” into Kerikeri, Bay of<br />
Islands, “like a thief under the<br />
cover of night”.<br />
Hundreds of Kerikeri residents<br />
turned out at a public meeting,<br />
protesting the development.<br />
Kāinga Ora did not attend and<br />
local media reported it had<br />
instructed the private developer<br />
not to attend either.<br />
Copper Ridge resident Jules<br />
Atkinson told the community<br />
board: “This is now happening<br />
everywhere in New Zealand. It<br />
is not transparent or honest but,<br />
if nothing is done, it is going to<br />
continue.<br />
“It has all been really sneaky<br />
and we are perhaps not going to<br />
stop this complex, but we can<br />
help other neighbourhoods.”<br />
Kāinga Ora promises on its<br />
website to inform neighbours<br />
and stakeholders at every stage<br />
of a new development but the<br />
Copper Ridge development is not<br />
on its website, despite the Urban<br />
Development Act requiring it to<br />
publish details.<br />
Community board member<br />
Henk Buunk described it as a<br />
much wider issue than just one<br />
development.<br />
“If we can talk to Kāinga<br />
Ora we might<br />
be able to<br />
persuade them<br />
to change their<br />
tactics because<br />
they appear<br />
to be fairly<br />
underhand,” he<br />
said.<br />
Kāinga Ora<br />
said plans for<br />
Henk<br />
Buunk<br />
the Halswell complex started<br />
early last year but city council<br />
documents show talks started as<br />
early as August 2021.<br />
<strong>The</strong> first consent was<br />
granted to a private company<br />
eight months ago, followed soon<br />
after by a second consent to a<br />
related company. Foundations<br />
were already laid when Kāinga<br />
Ora took formal ownership on<br />
April 5.<br />
Atkinson told the board most<br />
of the new housing complex will<br />
be accessed off a cul-de-sac and<br />
will create major parking, access<br />
and traffic safety problems that<br />
neither Kāinga Ora nor the city<br />
council have properly addressed.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>re is no traffic<br />

“<strong>The</strong>re is limited public<br />
transport in the area and<br />
vehicles parking on narrow<br />
streets and footpaths nearby<br />
will almost certainly block<br />
emergency vehicles and rubbish<br />
trucks.”<br />
“Our MP, Megan Woods, is<br />
telling us we have to live with it.<br />
It’s the same message we seem to<br />
be getting from our councillor,<br />
Andrei Moore,”<br />
another resident<br />
said.<br />
Woods denies<br />
she told residents<br />
they would have to<br />
Megan<br />
live with it.<br />
“I told them<br />
Kāinga Ora needs<br />
Woods<br />
to build more houses and that<br />
is something I, as minister of<br />
housing, support,” she said.<br />
“It’s my understanding the<br />
earliest Kāinga Ora could start a<br />
conversation with residents was<br />
after the commercial deal was<br />
signed but I told them, as their<br />
local MP, I would help to make<br />
sure their concerns about the late<br />
notification were heard.”<br />
Moore said he learned about<br />
the development at the same<br />
time as the residents.<br />
“When I heard about<br />
it, I immediately wrote to<br />
Kāinga Ora on behalf of the<br />
residents. I’m very mindful of<br />
the need for effective lines of<br />
communication,” he said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> community board agreed<br />
to contact Kāinga Ora with<br />
questions. Board chair<br />
Helen Broughton said<br />
she will ask for a meeting<br />
with city council planners<br />
to discuss issues raised<br />
around the consenting<br />
process.<br />
Kāinga Ora regional<br />
director for Canterbury<br />
Liz Krause said it can take<br />
Kainga Ora some time to get to<br />
a point where it is ready to sign a<br />
contract with a developer.<br />

Rd development, we were in<br />
extensive discussions over a<br />
number of months to ensure<br />
the homes would meet our<br />

“At any given time, we<br />
may be having multiple<br />
discussions but, for<br />
commercial reasons, we<br />
are unable to provide<br />
details of partnership<br />
opportunities we are<br />
currently exploring,” she<br />
said.<br />
Kāinga Ora expects the<br />
Halswell homes to be completed<br />
by <strong>May</strong> next year.<br />
“Kāinga Ora customers will<br />
move in after that,” said Krause.<br />
Name suppression<br />
battle continues<br />
• By Anna Leask<br />
NAME suppression will<br />
continue – for now – for two<br />
men convicted of rape after<br />
a trial centred around the<br />
drugging and sexual assaults<br />
of more than 20 women at a<br />
Christchurch bar.<br />
In April, following a lengthy<br />
trial, Judge Paul Mabey found<br />
the men guilty of a litany of<br />
offending including rape,<br />
sexual violation, stupefying<br />
and making intimate visual<br />
recordings.<br />
<strong>The</strong> men – aged 40 and 38<br />
– will be sentenced across two<br />
days in late August for the offending<br />
against more than 20<br />
women – described in court as<br />
“predatory”.<br />
<strong>The</strong> men were granted ongoing<br />
suppression until the end of<br />
their trial.<br />
That suppression was to protect<br />
fair trial rights for a second<br />
trial where they were facing<br />
further similar charges.<br />
When the charges in the second<br />
proceeding were resolved –<br />
some not pursued by the Crown<br />
and an indecent assault charge<br />
admitted by one of the men –<br />
Judge Mabey said there was no<br />
further basis for keeping their<br />
names secret.<br />
Justice Jonathan Eaton heard<br />
the appeals on Tuesday in the<br />
High Court at Christchurch.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 38-year-old claimed<br />
family members would suffer<br />
“extreme hardship” if his name<br />
was published.<br />
Justice Eaton has allowed parties<br />
to submit further information<br />
to the court around parts of<br />
the appeals.<br />
He has given them until the<br />
end of Monday.<br />
He will deliver his decision on<br />
suppression for both men by the<br />
end of next week.<br />
<strong>The</strong> sentencing for the men<br />
has been moved to August.<br />

DOGS ARE threatening – and<br />
in some cases killing – native<br />
and migratory birds on Avon-<br />
Heathcote Estuary.<br />
Conservationists want dogs<br />
banned from the estuary, a<br />
crucial stop-off point for the bartailed<br />
godwit on its migration to<br />
Alaska.<br />
It is also a popular dog walking<br />
spot.<br />
<strong>The</strong> estuary is home to around<br />
33,000 birds at this time of year,<br />
including oystercatchers, gulls<br />
and little penguins.<br />
Estuary Trust<br />
manager Tanya<br />
Jenkins said dog<br />
owners were<br />
ignoring estuary<br />
rules and letting<br />
their pets run<br />
over the mudflats,<br />
a crucial feeding<br />
spot for birds.<br />
She said some<br />
dogs killed birds, but disturbing<br />
them on the mudflats could also<br />
be fatal.<br />
Jenkins said birds could only<br />
feed on the mudflats at low tide,<br />
so they only had a short window<br />
of a few hours to eat enough to<br />
last the day.<br />
“If they are disturbed by dogs<br />
it can take them up to 45 minutes<br />
before they will settle again<br />
and continue eating. By then,<br />
often the tide is coming in again<br />
so they’ve missed out on dinner.<br />
“If that happens a few days in a<br />
row they get very hungry. If that<br />
happens during their migration,<br />
like for the godwits who leave for<br />
Alaska in March and need to fly<br />
12,000 kilometres, if they don’t<br />
have enough to eat they won’t<br />
make it.”<br />
Estuary Trust data showed the<br />
number of bar-tailed godwits<br />
had massively declined at the estuary.<br />
Last November there were<br />

about 1200 godwits, but that was<br />
only half the number recorded<br />
in 2013.<br />
<strong>The</strong> trust wanted dogs banned<br />
from the entire estuary.<br />
Jenkins said the big problem<br />
with many areas was the limits<br />
on dogs were simply that they<br />
be under effective control, and<br />
that was not protecting the birds<br />
adequately.<br />
Forest and Bird Canterbury<br />
manager Nicky Snoyink<br />
agreed estuary rules were not<br />
being enforced.<br />
“Dog are a significant threat<br />
particularly when they are running<br />
free. <strong>The</strong> lack of enforcement<br />
of the bylaw where dogs are<br />
supposed to be leashed, that’s a<br />
real problem for the ecological<br />
area and the species that live<br />
there.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council had received<br />
26 complaints since July last year<br />
about dogs in prohibited areas at<br />
the estuary. But it said none were<br />
taken further, because there was<br />
not enough evidence to identify<br />
dogs or dog owners from photos<br />
taken from a distance.<br />
Checkers Dog Walking owner<br />
Julia Knoef has exercised her<br />
dogs at the estuary a number of<br />
times. She said it was a popular<br />
spot for walkers, and dog control<br />

Former cricket<br />
star buys iconic<br />
sports store<br />
• By Tony Simons<br />
FORMER BLACK Caps star Nathan<br />
Astle is back in business after buying one<br />
of Canterbury’s longest running sports<br />
stores.<br />
Astle and his wife Kelly have taken<br />
over Anderson & Hill Sports Power<br />
at Barrington mall after selling their<br />
childcare business in Hillmorton late last<br />
year.<br />
Anderson and Hill has been a wellknown<br />
sports gear retailer in Christchurch<br />
for about 75 years. Its former owner Mark<br />
Carter was involved with the store for<br />
nearly 50 years.<br />
Astle, 51, said he was playing golf when<br />
he heard Carter was planning to retire and<br />
thought the business would be a challenge<br />
he and Kelly could take on.<br />
Carter retired last Thursday after<br />
showing Astle the ropes.<br />
Said Astle: “It’s a genuine serviceoriented<br />
sports store, probably one of the<br />
last left in Christchurch, and we don’t plan<br />
on making any immediate changes.<br />
“We have good relationships with<br />
clubs and schools in<br />
Christchurch and that<br />
is something I will look<br />
to extend.”<br />
Astle is regarded as<br />
one of New Zealand<br />
best-ever batsmen. He<br />
retired in 2007, just six<br />
weeks before the start<br />
of what would have<br />
been his fourth World<br />
Cup.<br />
Nathan Astle<br />
He took up speedway car racing in 2010.<br />
<strong>The</strong> couple ran Kiwi Kids Preschool for<br />
about 12 years until it was sold a couple of<br />
weeks ago.<br />
“I’m pretty comfortable selling cricket<br />
gear and I’m fast learning the rest of it,” he<br />
said.<br />

Advances in fight<br />
against myrtle rust<br />
NEW RESEARCH using remote<br />
sensing technology could help in<br />
the fight against myrtle rust.<br />
Myrtle rust was first detected<br />
in New Zealand in 2017 and in<br />
Christchurch in 2021.<br />
Over time infected trees can<br />
die because they cannot regenerate.<br />
Pōhutakawa, mānuka, rātā,<br />
eucalyptus and feijoas are at risk.<br />
Crown Research Institute<br />
Scion scientists have successfully<br />
detected myrtle rust in nursery<br />
plants days before the plants<br />
show signs of infection.<br />
Early detection would let nurseries<br />
start control treatment and<br />
stop the disease in its tracks.<br />
Principal scientist Mike Watt<br />
said high precision equipment<br />
was being used to detect myrtle<br />
rust infection in leaves of rose apple<br />
deliberately inoculated with<br />
the myrtle rust pathogen.<br />
<strong>The</strong> technology senses differences<br />
in leaf temperature and<br />
light wave lengths in infected<br />
apple trees.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> canopy temperature we<br />
found in infected plants was<br />
actually lower because the pathogen<br />
punches the leaves, which<br />
means the leaves lose more water,<br />
they transpire more, which cools<br />
the leaves down.<br />
“And the other feature was<br />
that the canopy temperature was<br />
more variable, in spots on the<br />
leaf, so it wasn’t uniform across<br />
the leaf compared to the control<br />
plants which weren’t inoculated.<br />
“So just using those two variables,<br />
we were able to classify all<br />
of the plants with 100 per cent<br />
certainty before we could actually<br />
see the disease on the plant.”<br />
It could be a couple of years<br />
before the technology was available<br />
for commercial nurseries<br />
because testing was now needed<br />
on species like eucalyptus and<br />
pōhutakawa, he said.<br />
Myrtle rust was most likely to<br />
be seen during warm, wet conditions.<br />
<strong>The</strong> disease causes bright<br />
yellow-orange powdery pustules<br />
on young leaves, shoots, fruits<br />
and flowers in the myrtle family,<br />
causing deformation of the<br />
leaves, and twig dieback.<br />
Repeated severe infection can<br />
cause decline or death of large<br />
trees.<br />

‘Forgotten man’ to<br />
be remembered<br />
TŪRANGA’S upcoming<br />
Heritage Highlights delves<br />
into the history of Dr William<br />
Donald, the forgotten man of<br />
Lyttelton.<br />
Donald (<strong>18</strong>15-84) was a doctor,<br />
surgeon, dentist, immigration<br />
officer, returning officer, resident<br />
magistrate, coroner, registrar<br />
of births, marriages and deaths<br />
and a Justice of the Peace.<br />
He was an administrator par<br />
excellence and prominent in<br />
early Lyttelton society, yet he<br />
seems to be often overlooked.<br />
City council head of libraries<br />
and information Carolyn Robertson<br />
said an event at Tūranga<br />
will offer the chance to explore<br />
the history of this man and the<br />
influence he has had on the development<br />
of early Lyttelton.<br />
“We’re excited to be holding<br />
a session later in <strong>May</strong> in our<br />
Auaha Hīhī / Spark Place to<br />
allow the chance to look into the<br />
many lives of Dr Donald.”<br />
Donald was elected chair of<br />
the first Lyttelton Municipal<br />
Council in <strong>18</strong>62 and represented<br />
Lyttelton on the Canterbury<br />
Provincial Council from<br />
<strong>18</strong>55–<strong>18</strong>57.<br />
“Alongside this, he was also a<br />
prominent community member<br />
in a non-official governmental<br />
capacity,” said Robertson.<br />
Donald was chairman then<br />
committee member of the<br />
Lyttelton Colonists’ Society, cofounder<br />
and later district grand<br />
master of the Lodge of Unamity,<br />
treasurer of the Oddfellows<br />
Lodge, trustee of the Lyttelton<br />
Savings Bank, Anglican Church<br />
trustee and member of the Canterbury<br />
College Council.<br />
He was appointed medical officer<br />
for Port Cooper – now Port<br />
Lyttelton – to provide medical<br />
services to those preparing for<br />
the arrival of the first Canterbury<br />
Association ships.<br />
After the ships arrived in<br />
late <strong>18</strong>50, Donald was part of<br />
the round of social gatherings<br />
attempting to replicate life<br />
‘back home’.<br />
Following Donald’s death in<br />
<strong>18</strong>84, his life was celebrated by a<br />
full Masonic funeral.<br />
Family history librarian Annette<br />
Williams said she first<br />
came across Donald while working<br />
at the Lyttelton Library.<br />
“Once I found him, I kept tripping<br />
over him constantly when I<br />
researched Lyttelton’s history.<br />
“It became a standing joke<br />
with my colleagues that whenever<br />
we looked at Lyttelton’s<br />
19th century history, Dr Donald<br />
was sure to be involved.”<br />
Williams said she wonders<br />
why Donald is a forgotten man.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re is a small street in<br />
Lyttelton named after him, and<br />
a fish specimen held in the Museum<br />
of New Zealand Te Papa<br />
Tongarewa’s collection that was<br />
presented by Dr Donald.<br />
“Other than that, there is<br />
very little else, and it is a bit of a<br />
mystery as to why his history is<br />
not more widespread.”<br />
• Dr William Donald:<br />
the man who managed<br />
Lyttelton will be held on<br />
Wednesday from 10–11am<br />

Uber driver indecently assaults teen<br />
• By Emily Moorhouse<br />
AN UBER driver who<br />
inappropriately touched and<br />
took intimate photos of his<br />
intoxicated teenage passenger<br />
while she was sleeping has been<br />
accused of trying to justify his<br />
behaviour.<br />
Teck Wong, 47, picked up his<br />
<strong>18</strong>-year-old victim from outside<br />
a Christchurch bar and then<br />
“took advantage” of her when<br />
she fell asleep in his car.<br />
Wong was sentenced to 10<br />
months of home detention with<br />
special conditions when he<br />
appeared in the district court on<br />
one charge of indecent assault<br />
and one of making an intimate<br />
visual recording.<br />
According to the summary of<br />
facts, in August last year Wong<br />
picked up the teen in the early<br />
hours of the morning.<br />
He drove her to where she was<br />
staying but the victim asked if<br />
she could wait in his car until<br />
her friends arrived, which Wong<br />
agreed to.<br />
But when the victim fell asleep,<br />
her skirt slipped up slightly, the<br />
court heard.<br />
Wong reached over to brush<br />
her underwear to the side,<br />
making contact with her private<br />
parts. He then took three photos<br />
of her genitals on his phone.<br />
When Wong was later spoken<br />
to by police, he said he had<br />
HARM: An Uber driver ‘took advantage’ of an intoxicated teenage passenger after she fell<br />
asleep, taking photos of her genitals on his phone.<br />
PHOTO: GETTY<br />
deleted the photos and his phone<br />
was seized.<br />
In court, Judge Tony Couch<br />
said the offending was a “gross<br />
breach of trust” and Wong<br />
could not have believed she was<br />
consenting as she was asleep.<br />
“You saw this as an<br />
opportunity for personal<br />
gratification and you took it.<br />
As a mature adult you should<br />
have known this was totally<br />
unacceptable.”<br />
Judge Couch said passengers<br />
of taxis or similar vehicles are<br />
entitled to feel “entirely safe”<br />
from interference or attack from<br />
drivers, something Wong had<br />
not demonstrated.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> victim remains seriously<br />
affected by what you’ve done<br />
which is likely to continue into<br />
the future. You are responsible<br />
for that.”<br />
Wong’s lawyer Chris Nolan<br />
said his client had shown<br />
genuine remorse, was willing to<br />
engage in treatment to address<br />
his behaviour and presented a<br />
low risk of reoffending.<br />
But the judge rejected Wong’s<br />
remorse, stating reports provided<br />
to the court suggested he was<br />
repeatedly trying to “justify or<br />
rationalise” his offending.<br />
“I see little or no recognition of<br />
the harm you have caused to this<br />
victim. I do not accept you are<br />
genuinely remorseful,” he told<br />
Wong.<br />
Nolan said Wong acknowledged<br />
the victim was vulnerable<br />
as she was intoxicated and asleep<br />
and should have been safe in his<br />
Uber. He said while Wong’s hand<br />
brushed against the victim’s<br />
genitals when he pulled her underwear<br />
back, this wasn’t sexual<br />
in nature.<br />
Nolan said an emotional<br />
harm payment of $1000 had<br />
been paid to the victim following<br />
a restorative justice meeting.<br />
<strong>The</strong> court heard Wong had<br />
since been prohibited from<br />
holding a passenger endorsement<br />
license, meaning he could no<br />
longer work as an Uber driver.<br />

Drug dealer ordered to pay up<br />
A MAJOR player in a<br />
Christchurch synthetic cannabis<br />
ring has failed in his legal bid<br />
to stop the police commissioner<br />
from recovering more than $2<br />
million of his ill-gotten gains.<br />
Sui Jun Zhou, a real estate<br />
agent in his 30s, was jailed for 26<br />
months in 2019 for his role in a<br />
synthetic drug dealing venture<br />
which operated out of the small<br />
Sockburn Dairy and, at one<br />
point, spanned the South Island.<br />
Prosecutors said Zhou was the<br />
“right-hand man” or lieutenant<br />
of an operation masterminded<br />
by Fei He who owned the dairy.<br />
When police terminated<br />
their lengthy investigation<br />
in 2016, three years after the<br />
trade in synthetic cannabis was<br />
outlawed, they found 173kg of<br />
the substance in the possession<br />
of Zhou and others.<br />
He pleaded guilty to one<br />
charge of selling or supplying<br />
non-approved psychoactive<br />
substances and two charges<br />
of possession or supply of<br />
non-approved psychoactive<br />
substances.<br />
Police calculated he had<br />
obtained $2,214,000 in unlawful<br />
benefit and Justice Jan‐Marie<br />
Doogue found the commissioner<br />
of police was entitled to recover<br />
that amount under the Criminal<br />
Proceeds (Recovery) Act from<br />
Zhou and his business, Levonz<br />
Investment Ltd. Zhou’s appeal<br />
against Doogue’s ruling was<br />
heard by the Court of Appeal on<br />
March 27, and the court released<br />
its reasons for rejecting the<br />
appeal in a judgment delivered<br />
by Justice David Collins on <strong>May</strong><br />
2.<br />
Zhou’s lawyers challenged<br />
the final calculation of his illgotten<br />
gains, arguing the price<br />
per gram used did not take into<br />
account wholesale customers and<br />
that some of the profit derived<br />
from the sale of a legal substance<br />
in conjunction with the synthetic<br />
cannabis.<br />
This was rejected by the Court<br />
of Appeal, which found the<br />
FAILED BID: Sui Jun Zhou lost an appeal against his jail<br />
sentence for his role in a synthetic drug dealing venture<br />
which operated out of the Sockburn Dairy.<br />
PHOTO: KURT BAYER<br />
judge was entitled to accept the<br />
calculations by the detective.<br />
Collins said other arguments<br />
were inconsistent with the fact<br />
he pleaded guilty to hundreds of<br />
synthetic cannabis sales.<br />
<strong>The</strong> legal team also argued<br />
the commissioner unreasonably<br />
recovered twice from the benefit<br />
received by Zhou and He, who<br />
was subject to a $3.5 million<br />
profit forfeiture order.<br />
This argument was thrown out<br />
by the Court of Appeal because<br />
it found Zhou did not prove he<br />
and He were jointly benefiting<br />
from the offending. Zhou’s<br />
third and final argument – that<br />
Justice Doogue failed to properly<br />
assess his claim he would suffer<br />
undue hardship unless all his<br />
real estate property was excluded<br />
from the order – also did not<br />
gain any traction with the Court<br />
of Appeal. “Mr Zhou did not<br />
raise any matters which went<br />
beyond the hardship that most<br />
people would suffer if they had<br />
their property confiscated under<br />
the Act,” ollins said. <strong>The</strong> Court<br />
dismissed the appeal and found<br />
the Commissioner of Police, as<br />
the respondent, was entitled to<br />
costs. – NZ Herald<br />

CHRISTCHURCH ARENA
COURT 19<br />
UC lecturer loses bid to<br />
prove sacking unjustified<br />
• By Tracy Neal<br />
A SENIOR LECTURER whose life was<br />
“badly dislocated” by a string of events<br />
since the Christchurch earthquakes has<br />
lost her job – and the subsequent case she<br />
brought against her former employer.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Employment Relations Authority<br />
said Canterbury University was justified<br />
in sacking Dr Christina Stachurski after<br />
it found she subcontracted some of her<br />
lecturing responsibilities to another university<br />
employee.<br />
Stachurski said she was disappointed<br />
with the process and outcome, including<br />
the length of time to get a result.<br />
She said the ERA stipulated a determination<br />
was due within 90 days of the<br />
hearing but it took 16 months.<br />
ERA member Andrew Dallas said in the<br />
decision the dismissal occurred within the<br />
context of a complaint about “aggressive<br />
and unreasonable behaviour” Stachurski<br />
made in 2019 against a head of department<br />
at the time. <strong>The</strong> university became<br />
aware of the subcontracting during its<br />
investigation.<br />
Stachurski said she believed her insistence<br />
her complaint should be addressed<br />
had made her a target for retaliatory behaviour<br />
and the staff members involved in<br />
the investigation “worked together to find<br />
a way to eject me from the university”.<br />
She had been employed as a continuing,<br />
part-time senior lecturer at the university’s<br />
English department from March 2009<br />
and was dismissed for serious misconduct<br />
We’ve got your<br />
Motoring<br />
Covered!<br />
in October 2020, which she argued was<br />
unjustified.<br />
In 20<strong>18</strong>, Stachurski reached an agreement<br />
with her employer to take a sabbatical<br />
spread across the entire academic<br />
year so she could continue lecturing and<br />
concentrate on writing a play about claimants’<br />
interactions with the Earthquake<br />
Commission.<br />
<strong>The</strong> ERA noted Stachurski’s life had<br />
been “badly dislocated” by the earthquakes<br />
and then the grief caused by the<br />
death of her partner in 2014.<br />
She requested further sabbatical leave<br />
covering part of 2019 but it was declined.<br />
<strong>The</strong> play, EQ f@#%ing C, ran into difficulties<br />
in early 2019 over its apparent<br />
depiction of a central government politician.<br />
It required a number of re-writes,<br />
which were completed only weeks before<br />
its scheduled premiere on March 30, 2019.<br />
Stachurski’s sabbatical had ended and the<br />
first semester of the new academic year<br />
had started.<br />
She entered into an arrangement with<br />
another staff member for her to be paid to<br />
give the first lecture in the English course<br />
for semester one so Stachurski could<br />
continue with the play, which was then<br />
cancelled by the Court <strong>The</strong>atre, the ERA<br />
said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> agreement was reaffirmed several<br />
times to include further lectures, although<br />
there was some dispute between the<br />
employer and Stachurski about how many<br />
lectures were given by the other staff<br />
member. – Open Justice<br />

cartilage of your joints as<br />
well as in your skin, bones,<br />
nails and ligaments. Taking<br />
glucosamine in sufficient<br />
amounts provides the body<br />
with more building blocks<br />
to help maintain and repair<br />
all your joints, ligaments,<br />
tendons, connective tissue,<br />
bones, and nails as well as<br />
supporting healthy skin, hair,<br />
blood vessels and more. As we<br />
age the body’s production of glucosamine<br />
declines and this is a reason why<br />
supplementation may be beneficial. Studies<br />
have found in athletes’ glucosamine<br />
may protect joint tissue by preventing<br />
the breakdown of cartilage. One study<br />
demonstrated that supplementation with<br />
1500mg to 3000mg of glucosamine daily<br />
for three months significantly decreased<br />
cartilage breakdown in college soccer<br />
players as well as professional rugby<br />
players. A comprehensive review of<br />
multiple studies on glucosamine sulphates<br />
(GS) benefits for osteoarthritis was<br />
published in a peer-review medical journal<br />
“<strong>The</strong>rapeutic Advances in Musculoskeletal<br />
Disease” in December 2020. <strong>The</strong> review<br />
Thursday <strong>May</strong> <strong>18</strong> <strong>2023</strong> <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
found that a daily dosage of<br />
1500mg of “GS” can positively<br />
affect the cartilage structure,<br />
reduce pain, and improve<br />
joint function, and also<br />
glucose metabolism in people<br />
with osteoarthritis.<br />
Glucosamine has many<br />
other surprising health<br />
benefits. Animal studies<br />
show it can extend lifespan<br />
by around 10%. Several large<br />
human studies have shown<br />
glucosamine supplementation<br />
to significantly improve<br />
cardiovascular health and<br />
reduce mortality.<br />
Glucosamine has been<br />
shown to reduce age-related<br />
inflammation now considered a leading<br />
cause of aging and mortality. Glucosamine<br />
has also been shown to protect your DNA<br />
against damage, improve cellular health,<br />
create more mitochondria and improve<br />
energy levels.<br />

Do You Know GLUCOSAMINE<br />
Offers Far More Benefits<br />
Than Just<br />
Joint Health?<br />
Glucosamine sulphate (GS) occurs naturally in the<br />
body. It is used in the formation of bones, nails,<br />
ligaments, tendons, connective tissue & cartilage<br />
– the material in all moving joints that protects and<br />
allows them to move freely. Stiff, painful & swollen<br />
joints are a sign of insufficient or damaged cartilage<br />
(osteoarthritis). As we age the body’s production<br />
of (GS) may decline & this is likely the main reason<br />
for developing joint problems. A comprehensive<br />
review of studies on (GS) benefits for osteoarthritis<br />
suggests that a daily dose of 1500mg (GS) can<br />
positively affect the cartilage structure, reduce pain<br />
& inflammation as well as improve joint function.<br />
(GS) appears to have many other surprising health<br />
benefits. Animal studies show it can extend lifespan<br />
by around 10%. Several large human studies<br />
have shown (GS) supplementation to significantly<br />
improve cardiovascular health & reduce mortality.<br />
Also, it has been shown to protect DNA against<br />
damage, improve cellular health by creating more<br />
mitochondria as well as improve energy levels.<br />

Chance to reclaim DCL Shield<br />
<strong>The</strong> DCL Shield could<br />
change hands again<br />
on Saturday and the<br />
Southern League returns<br />
after the Chatham Cup.<br />
Jaime Cunningham<br />
reports<br />
RUGBY<br />
High School Old Boys have a<br />
chance to win the DCL Shield<br />
back after they lost it to Marist<br />
Albion less than a month ago.<br />
HSOB will challenge<br />
University for the shield on<br />
Saturday after a hard-fought 19-<br />
16 loss to Sumner in round 5.<br />
University handed Marist their<br />
first loss of the season to claim<br />
the shield in a high-scoring<br />
match last Saturday.<br />
University<br />
led 23-5 at halftime,<br />
but a late<br />
fight-back from<br />
Marist brought<br />
them within six<br />
points before<br />
University’s<br />
fourth try sealed<br />
Daniel<br />
O’Brien<br />
the win 37-24.<br />
University<br />
now sit at the<br />
top of the Metro<br />
premier ladder with 22 points,<br />
the same number they finished<br />
on last season.<br />
After winning only seven<br />
matches last year, University<br />
head coach Daniel O’Brien said<br />
they have rebuilt the team.<br />
“We talk a lot more about<br />
processes,” he said.<br />
“Obviously winning the<br />
competition is a goal, but we<br />
haven’t actually talked about<br />
that.”<br />
“Having a high performance<br />
culture and developing our<br />
players is more important.”<br />
Sydenham will aim to continue<br />
their momentum when they host<br />
New Brighton.<br />
Sydenham come off a 50-<br />
<strong>18</strong> win over Belfast, while<br />
New Brighton dominated<br />
Christchurch 40-14.<br />
Winless Christchurch face<br />
third-placed Lincoln University<br />
who are set to host their club<br />

United on Friday. United go into<br />
the round 8 clash after a 9-0<br />
thrashing of Parklands United in<br />
the Chatham Cup.<br />
FC Twenty 11 also managed a<br />
2-1 win over Halswell United.<br />
Selwyn are looking for their<br />
first league win since round 3<br />
when they beat FC Twenty 11<br />
1-0. Selwyn go into their game<br />
against Coastal Spirit following a<br />
1-0 loss to Cashmere Technical.<br />
Coastal cruised to a 5-1 win<br />
against Burwood in the first<br />
round of the Chatham Cup.<br />
Ferrymead Bays fittingly beat<br />
Nomads 2-1 in club stalwart<br />
Chris Murphy’s 400th game<br />
at premier level. <strong>The</strong>y now<br />

Kia Toa take on UC in round 5<br />
after their first win of the season<br />
moved them into sixth place on<br />
the table.<br />
Kia Toa were on zero points<br />
before their win over Technical.<br />
Leading 22-19 after 30 minutes,<br />
shared shooting loads between<br />
Chelsea Corbett and Fia LaiKong<br />
helped Kia Toa to a narrow 43-<br />
42 win.<br />
It was the third loss by five<br />
goals or less for Technical who<br />
now sit at the bottom of the<br />
ladder. <strong>The</strong>y face a daunting<br />
task against unbeaten Lincoln<br />
University A on Tuesday, while<br />
Kia Toa take on UC.<br />
UC suffered their second loss<br />
of the season, 48-45, to Lincoln<br />
University B after leading for<br />
most of the game.<br />
Lincoln University B play<br />
Kereru B who went down 45-34<br />
to a tidy Saints A.<br />
Saints play Kereru A who need<br />
a stronger first quarter after<br />
it cost them the game against<br />
Lincoln University A.<br />
Lincoln powered to a 16-10<br />

which they maintained for the<br />
rest of the game, winning 50-43.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Eagles were able to hang<br />
on to their 14-12 halftime lead,<br />

second half performance against<br />
the Bulldogs in round 7, turning<br />
an early 12-6 lead in the first<br />

40 minutes, winning <strong>18</strong>-12.<br />
HOCKEY<br />
After four rounds, the<br />
competition has been fierce in<br />
both Canterbury premier league<br />
grades.<br />
In the women’s grade, little<br />
separates Marist and Carlton<br />
Redcliffs who are both on 10<br />
points. Carlton drew 2-2 with<br />
HSOB/Burnside in round 4,<br />
while Marist powered to a 5-1<br />
win over Harewood.<br />
Carlton have a bye, while<br />
Marist are looking to add<br />
another three points to their tally<br />
with a win against Hornby.<br />
Hornby are in search of their<br />
first win following a bye last<br />
week.<br />
Avon take on Harewood after<br />
their 3-0 victory over winless<br />
Southern.<br />
Southern face HSOB/Burnside<br />
who come off a hard-fought<br />
draw.<br />
Carlton Redcliffs are heavily<br />
favoured to beat winless<br />
University on Saturday.<br />
However, Carlton will be hurting<br />
after they went down to HSOB/<br />
Burnside 4-0 in their first loss of<br />
the season. University lost by the<br />
same scoreline to Hornby.<br />
HSOB/Burnside will want<br />
to retain top spot with a win<br />
over seventh-placed Southern.<br />
Southern handed Avon their first<br />
win of the season 2-0 last week.<br />
Avon take on Harewood who<br />
narrowly beat Marist 5-4 in a<br />
high scoring match at Marist<br />
Park.<br />
Marist will look to bounce<br />
back from their first loss of the<br />
year with a win over Hornby on<br />
Saturday.<br />

TOP YOUNG golfer Cooper<br />
Moore completed a rare feat by<br />
winning the Waitikiri senior<br />
championship for the third time<br />
at the age of just 14.<br />
Cooper beat Canterbury<br />
masters No 1 Woo Bong Kim<br />
5 and 4 in the 36-hole final.<br />
A consistent first <strong>18</strong> holes saw<br />
Cooper 4 up and well under<br />
par. In the afternoon a great<br />
up-and-down on the third hole<br />
and a birdie on four saw the lead<br />
6 up. After that, smart regulation<br />
play forced Kim to make birdies<br />
to win holes, but the task was<br />
beyond him.<br />
While the statistic of three<br />
in succession may not be rare,<br />
to win it in fields including<br />
Canterbury representatives<br />
at the ages of 12, 13 and 14 is.<br />

OLD RIVALS Christchurch<br />
Boys’ High and Nelson College<br />
will headline round 2 of the<br />
Miles Toyota Premiership in a<br />
blockbuster clash.<br />
After winning their first two<br />
matches, defending champions<br />
Nelson will travel to Christchurch<br />
to take on CBHS at their<br />
club day on Saturday.<br />
Nelson are coming off a dominant<br />
game against last season’s<br />
finalists St Bede’s College. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
gained their second bonus point<br />
of the season in the 32-17 home<br />
win.<br />
After a close start to their first<br />
round match against Timaru<br />
Boys’ High, CBHS scored 31<br />
unanswered points in the second<br />
half to win 53-22.<br />

Saturday after Selwyn handed St<br />
Andrew’s their second loss 31-24.<br />
After losing their opening<br />
games, Timaru and St Bede’s<br />
face each other in Timaru.<br />
When Cooper first won he was<br />
the youngest player to have won<br />
the trophy since its inception in<br />
1939.<br />
<strong>The</strong> championship began with<br />
two qualifying rounds where<br />
Cooper shot 67 then a course<br />
record equaling 64, to be the top<br />
seed for the 16-player knockout<br />
matchplay. He comfortably<br />

WHEN FORMER Crusaders<br />
centre Robbie Fruean wanted<br />
to get back into the rugby<br />
environment, he wasn’t<br />
expecting to be coaching a team<br />
so soon.<br />
Fruean, 34, is leading the new<br />
Horomaka Combined first XV in<br />
the Miles Toyota Championship.<br />
<strong>The</strong> team is made up of players<br />
from Hillmorton, Hornby and<br />
Riccarton high schools, as well<br />
as Middleton Grange and Hagley<br />
Community College.<br />
Fruean was forced into retirement<br />
in 2017 due to ongoing<br />
heart problems.<br />
He was Hillmorton High’s<br />
first XV head coach last year and<br />
remains as the school’s director<br />
of rugby.<br />
“I wanted to get back into<br />
rugby in some way, so I reached<br />
out to some church friends and<br />
asked if there was any space at<br />
Hillmorton,” he said.<br />
“I went from that to head of<br />
rugby and coaching the school’s<br />
team pretty quickly.”<br />
Fruean and Hillmorton High<br />
staff discussed the school fielding<br />
a team in the competition<br />
alone. But the goal did not look<br />
achievable for another 10 years.<br />
“We didn’t have enough competition<br />
within players and no<br />
opportunity to grow,” he said.<br />
So Fruean reached out to other<br />
schools with students from similar<br />
backgrounds and no current<br />
rugby programme.<br />
“It was a case of who best suits<br />
the combination of schools, with<br />
the aim to change the stereotypes<br />
from those school areas”<br />
he said. “Now they don’t have<br />
to go anywhere else to play first<br />
XV and can stay at their local<br />
school.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> championship feeds into<br />
the first XV premiership and<br />
includes several second XVs and<br />
semifinal. Cooper eventually<br />
prevailed against Canterbury<br />
masters representative Brett<br />
Turner 2 and 1.<br />
Cooper’s hot form here and<br />
in Australia has seen him make<br />
the New Zealand under-19 team<br />
for the Toyota Junior Golf World<br />
Cup in Aichi, Japan, in June.<br />
It will be the first time New<br />
Zealand has sent a team to the<br />
World Cup since 20<strong>18</strong>.<br />

known for playing rugby.<br />
<strong>The</strong> changed 10-team Miles<br />
Toyota Premiership and the<br />
establishment of the new<br />
championship grade means<br />
Horomaka are able to play in a<br />
competitive grade.<br />
In a few years, the team may<br />
be able to compete in the premiership<br />
due to the promotion/<br />
relegation format.<br />
“We’ve got a really young<br />
Cooper Moore<br />
Fruean leads combined<br />
side into new first XV era<br />
team this year so, honestly, it’s<br />
been more about setting some<br />
foundations in place for the years<br />
to come.”<br />
Fruean is a “big fan” of the<br />
changes to the first XV competitions.<br />
“It’s allowed us to compete. It<br />
just means that the competition<br />
is a lot more even. I think it’s a<br />
great initiative,” he said.<br />
Horomaka had a promising<br />
start to the season at the weekend,<br />
going down to Roncalli<br />
College combined 10-3. But being<br />
able to play in the competition<br />
means more than a winning<br />
for the team. “It’s about allowing<br />
opportunity for these kids who<br />
might have not had this opportunity<br />
otherwise,” Fruean said.<br />
“I think the boys actually<br />
realised how close to the<br />
competition they are in a<br />
competition that feels so far<br />
away.”<br />

THE Greatest Love of All starring Belinda<br />
Davids is back on New Zealand soil this<br />
<strong>May</strong>-June <strong>2023</strong> bringing its international<br />
hit show across the country for a national<br />
tour, with one Christchurch show at the<br />
James Hay eatre on Friday 26 <strong>May</strong>.<br />
Aer a brief debut NZ tour in 2016 and<br />

Davids has since starred in major TV<br />
shows including Showtime at the Apollo,<br />
Britain's Got Talent and Even Better an<br />

Despite COVID-19 interruptions Davids<br />
still managed to sell out tours across the<br />
UK, USA, Europe and South Africa<br />
recently and is now returning to NZ with<br />
her revamped production.<br />
When asked about her return to New<br />
Zealand star vocalist Belinda Davids said,<br />
“I'm looking forward to reconnecting with<br />
the crowd and getting to know them again<br />
aer so many years”.<br />
e two-hour international production<br />
is set to ll audiences with joy, nostalgia<br />
and wonderment as it takes them on a<br />
heartfelt journey through all of Whitney<br />
Houston's greatest hits including I Wanna<br />
Dance With Somebody, I Will Always Love<br />
You & Greatest Love of All.<br />
Davids will be accompanied by her live<br />
band and backing vocalists plus glorious<br />
state-of-the-art sound, lighting, vision and<br />
theatrical FX, making this what producers<br />
claim is a “beautifully craed tribute”.<br />

Christchurch’s best read and largest circulating newspaper<br />
• By Geoff Sloan<br />
A WOMAN who takes in<br />
abandoned turtles is warning<br />
would-be reptile owners about<br />
buying them online.<br />
Donna Moot has rescued<br />
hundreds of sick, injured or<br />
abandoned turtles over the past 15<br />
Over winter, Moot may spend<br />
up to a $1000 a month on electricity<br />
to run and heat the many water<br />
tank habitats in her home. Some<br />
turtles aren’t strong enough to hibernate<br />
outside through the winter<br />
and have to be brought indoors.<br />
But Moot believes turtles make<br />
years – many of which were once<br />
people’s pets.<br />
She says anyone planning to<br />
great pets – for the right person.<br />
“I get a lot of turtles that have<br />
been bought on Trade Me.<br />
turtles by post across the country.<br />
“People find them and sometimes<br />
they’re surrendered and they<br />
come here until I can get them<br />
rehabilitated and re-homed.”<br />
SAVED:<br />
Donna Moot<br />
with Turbo<br />
the turtle.<br />
her house in Somerfield, which is<br />
currently home to about 75 turtles.<br />
“All the food, all the equipment<br />
I pay for myself. I’m very fortunate<br />
here tha the Canterbury SPCA,<br />
they will support me with the<br />
stray turtles, so they’ll help with<br />
vet bills for that.”<br />
minimum donation of $20, which<br />
isn’t very much, but I expec that<br />
the person can show me that<br />
they’ve go the correct set up, so<br />
they may have to fork out quite a<br />
bit of money for that.”<br />
