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 />

for the ban to continue. “<strong>The</strong><br />

alcohol ban has definitely helped<br />

people have said they can now<br />

visit the village shops and use<br />

the amenities without feeling<br />

<strong>The</strong> city council has agreed<br />

to continue the ban while<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 />

• From page 1<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 />

who looked as young as about<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 />

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 />

having the best chance of<br />

getting an exemption due to the<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 />

“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 />

extensive discussions over a<br />

number of months to ensure<br />

“At any given time, we<br />

discussions but, for<br />

commercial reasons, we<br />

are unable to provide<br />

details of partnership<br />

opportunities we are<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 />

• By Anna Sargent<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 />

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 />

day at Lincoln. A strong second<br />

half helped the Rams to a 45-29<br />

victory over Linwood.<br />

Linwood will be looking for<br />

their fourth win of the season<br />

when they take on Burnside.<br />

Burnside go into round 6 after<br />

a narrow 29-26 win over Shirley.<br />

Confident Sumner travel to<br />

Burwood Park to play Shirley.<br />

Both Burside and Shirley hold<br />

their club days on Saturday.<br />

Marist Albion are looking to<br />

bounce back from their first loss<br />

when they take on struggling<br />

Belfast.<br />

FOOTBALL<br />

<strong>The</strong> Southern League returns<br />

after a break for the Chatham<br />

Cup.<br />

Ninth-placed FC Twenty 11<br />

face unbeaten Christchurch<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 />

play Cashmere Technical who<br />

suffered their first league defeat<br />

two weeks ago.<br />

Nomads travel to Saxton<br />

Oval to meet Nelson Suburbs<br />

after their Chatham Cup loss.<br />

Dunedin City Royals host Green<br />

NETBALL<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 />

lead after the first 15 minutes,<br />

which they maintained for the<br />

rest of the game, winning 50-43.<br />

RUGBY LEAGUE<br />

Hornby will look to regain<br />

momentum in their clash against<br />

the Riccarton Knights tomorrow<br />

night, while the Eagles host the<br />

Northern Bulldogs on Saturday.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Linwood Keas play the<br />

Halswell Hornets on Saturday.<br />

Linwood continued their<br />

unbeaten start to the season<br />

last weekend, while the Eastern<br />

Eagles surprised second-placed<br />

Hornby in round 7.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Eagles were able to hang<br />

on to their 14-12 halftime lead,<br />

taking the game 30-<strong>18</strong>.<br />

Linwood delivered a stellar<br />

second half performance against<br />

the Bulldogs in round 7, turning<br />

an early 12-6 lead in the first<br />

half into a 44-10 win. <strong>The</strong> Keas<br />

play the Halswell Hornets who<br />

go into round 8 off the back<br />

of a hard-fought win over the<br />

Knights. <strong>The</strong> Hornets managed<br />

to hold on to their 12-6 lead after<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 />

• By Neville Idour<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 />

St Andrew’s College look for<br />

their first win against Malborough<br />

Boys’ College who beat<br />

Shirley Boys’ High 32-14 in<br />

round 1.<br />

Shirley host St Thomas’ of<br />

Canterbury College on Saturday.<br />

St Thomas, who were semi finalists<br />

las season, went down 21-7 to<br />

Christ’s College in the previous<br />

round. Christ’s travel to Darfield<br />

to play Selwyn Combined on<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 />

won his first two matches<br />

• By Jaime Cunningham<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 />

first XVs from schools not typically<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 />

a return to Auckland in 20<strong>18</strong>, Belinda<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 />

winner.<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 />
