Thursday June 1 2023 The Star 

• By Heidi Slade 

CITY councillors will vote 

next week whether to tear up 

a controversial central city 

cycleway. 

The cycleway, on Park Tce 

near the Armagh St bridge, 

caused an uproar when it was 

put in without Mayor Phil 

Mauger and city councillors 

knowledge. 

City councillor Sam 

MacDonald told The Star 

yesterday a notice of motion 

would be put to next week’s 

council meeting in a bid to take 

the cycle lane out and return 

Park Tce’s northbound side to 

two lanes. 

MacDonald said due process 

for the cycleway was not 

followed. 

“It needs to be pulled up,” he 

said. 

MacDonald, Mauger and city 

councillors James Gough, Kelly 

Barber, Victoria Henstock and 

Aaron Keown are behind the 

notice of motion. 

The motion looks to be 

another showdown between the 

right and left factions on the city 

council. 

The right, which includes 

Mauger and the city councillors 

involved in the notice of motion, 

have questioned the amount of 

money being spent on cycleways 

in Christchurch; while the left 

leaning Labour-aligned People’s 

Choice have been generally pro 

cycleway. 

Meanwhile, the city council 

has apologised to the Waipapa 

Papanui-Innes-Central 

Community Board for failing 

to tell the board a survey on the 

cycleway would be going live 

online. 

City council head of 

communications and 

engagement Katy McRae said

Housing density: Council likely to press on 

• By Tony Simons 

THE CITY council says it 

will forge ahead with a multimillion 

dollar planning process 

enabling more housing density 

in Christchurch. 

This is despite news at 

the weekend National has 

withdrawn support for the 

bi-partisan legislation mandating 

intensification across the 

country. 

The consultation and hearings 

process around Plan 

Change 14 is budgeted to cost 

Christchurch ratepayers $2.8 

million. 

Submissions closed recently 

and city council staff are now 

sorting and categorising them, 

ready for the next stage of the 

process. 

About 900 submission were 

received, of which 87 per cent 

came from individuals, with the 

rest from organisations. They 

are scheduled to be considered 

by an Independent Hearings 

Panel in October and November, 

after the general election. 

While National has said it 

will scrap the legislation if it 

becomes the government, city 

council head of planning and 

consents John Higgins rejected 

a suggestion the process can be 

stopped or paused. 

“Any pause of the hearings 

would mean council couldn’t 

meet statutory timeframes 

set by the Government in the 

City cycleway debacle 

set for a showdown 

CONTROVERSIAL: Councillors will vote on Wednesday 

whether the Park Tce cycleway will stay or go.

staff sent an apology to the 

community board on Tuesday. 

“Our usual practice would be 

to give elected members a heads 

up about any major projects, 

associated consultation and 

external communications, such 

as Newsline and social media,” 

she said. 

Community board member 

Ali Jones said the city council’s 

lack of communication left her 

gobsmacked. 

“What little I know, I know 

from media,” Jones said. 

“It’s important that us elected 

members, we know what’s 

Resource Management Act. If 

there is a law change, council 

would consider its options at 

the time,” he said. 

National has announced it 

intends to reverse its policy on 

mandatory medium density. 

Leader Christopher Luxon 

said the party got it wrong. It 

announced at the weekend it 

will give councils the choice of 

opting out and developing new 

subdivisions to meet housing 

demand instead.

going on.” 

Board chair Emma Norrish 

agrees council staff should have 

notified the board. 

“We should have been given a 

heads up,” she said. 

“Council staff have agreed that 

we should have been told . . . 

They have apologised and looked 

to rectify it.” 

Councillor and board member 

Victoria Henstock was aware 

the city council would seek 

feedback, but was surprised at 

the timing due to the pending 

notice of motion. 

“I was aware feedback would 

be sought but was unsure about 

what the format and platform 

it would be and when it would 

occur. I was surprised with the 

timing of the online survey, 

given the pending notice of 

motion,” she said. 

Councillor and community 

board member Jake McLellan 

said the survey did not come as 

a surprise.

In Brief 

Airport to buy electric 

fire engine 

Christchurch Airport has 

signed up to buy the world’s 

first Rosenbauer Electric Fire 

Truck to operate at an airport. 

Head of aviation operations 

Tim Morris said it’s another 

step towards Christchurch 

Airport having an entirely 

hybrid/electric fleet. “We are 

keen to accelerate the airport’s 

transition to clean energy 

trucks, and in the next few 

years, will replace all four 

trucks as new Rosenbauer 

models become available, until 

our whole fleet runs on green 

energy,” he said. Replacing 

the large diesel engine with a 

significantly smaller electric 

generator, a range of configuration, 

safety and operational 

improvements are possible. 

Information sought 

on theft from ATM 

Police revealed yesterday 

a large sum of money was 

stolen from a Linwood ATM 

just over two weeks ago. The 

theft from the Stanmore Rd 

ATM happened sometime 

between 4.30am and 6am 

on Sunday, May 14. Police 

said they were appealing for 

information and sightings of a 

light blue, four-door, 2009 to 

2013 Toyota Corolla hatchback 

they believed could “assist 

in our inquiries”. Anyone 

with information about the 

vehicle or those involved 

in the burglary is asked to 

call police on 105 or make a 

report online at www.police.

PEOPLE LIVING close to a 

housing complex they thought 

was going to be for over-50s are 

angry it will be a Kāinga Ora 

development instead. 

The site, next to the 

Northwood shopping centre, was 

originally set to be a 27-dwelling 

development for over-50s, but 

residents in the area have just 

been told it will now be social 

housing instead. 

The situation mirrors another 

Kāinga Ora development at the 

Copper Ridge subdivision in 

Halswell. 

The Star revealed last week a 

petition has failed to stop the 

complex being built. Halswell 

residents only learned it would 

be a social housing complex after 

flyers were delivered to nearby 

homes. But the foundations for 

the Copper Ridge development 

were already laid when Kāinga 

Ora took formal ownership on 

April 5. 

Meanwhile, a similar 

situation in Hastings saw 

residents campaign against 

an intensive housing complex 

being developed for Kāinga Ora 

in their suburb. Yesterday the 

residents appeared to have won 

their campaign, after indications 

the developer will withdraw its 

resource consent application to 

CONSTRUCTION: The 27-dwelling development is being 

built near the Northwood shopping centre.

build 10 dwellings, including 

four two-storey units, in place of 

two houses. 

Consent for the Northwood 

project was granted to a 

developer six years ago – but 

only after written approval was 

obtained from eight neighbours. 

“We were told it would be for 

over-50s,” said resident Ann 

Sanders. 

“We were fine with it, and 

signed an agreement with the 

city council, allowing it to go 

ahead. 

“We even joked that it would 

be suitable for myself and 

husband, Dave, as it would be 

right next door to our daughter,” 

she said. 

But early last month, residents 

learned the development had a 

new owner – Freeman Homes. 

Then 12 days ago, Kāinga 

Ora flyers announced it was 

purchasing the entire complex 

off Freeman Homes. 

Kāinga Ora said the 

homes would be for its 

customers who are over-50 – 

but also for households with at 

least one person, of any age, who 

qualified for a permanent health 

benefit.

worry residents 

“That was never mentioned to 

us when we were asked to agree to 

the development,” said Sanders. 

Records show a second consent 

was applied for in June 2020, just 

a month before Freeman Homes 

purchased the land. Construction 

on the development started last 

year. 

Kāinga Ora regional director 

Liz Krause confirmed it signed 

an agreement six months ago to 

purchase the completed complex 

off Freeman Homes. Residents 

found out on April 20. 

Freeman Homes director 

Mark Freeman said he could not 

comment on the development, 

referring all 

questions to 

Kāinga Ora. 

Said Krause: 

“We have 

engaged with the 

local community 

Liz Krause 

. . . via the 

letterbox drop, 

which provided 

details on the development, who 

will live in the homes and the 

ongoing construction work.” 

Other nearby residents, who 

were never consulted, are also 

concerned. 

Sandra Jenkins said she has 

real worries about a significant 

number of people with serious 

mental health issues being in 

the complex, particularly with a 

primary school just 600m away. 

“I feel terrible because it sounds 

like I don’t want these people in 

my backyard,” she said. 

“If Kāinga Ora could just assure 

us people with serious mental 

health problems will be getting 

around-the-clock support, then 

no problem. 

“But we know that won’t be 

the case with our mental health 

system being in a crisis,” she said. 

Krause said Kāinga Ora 

will “play a role in ensuring 

our customers have a support 

network and are connected to the 

right services to enable them to 

live well in their communities.” 

Belfast Primary School is 

located just north of the complex. 

Principal Sue Elley said the 

school was not informed about 

the development, but she was not 

too concerned. 

“A number of our children 

probably come from families 

where there are some mental 

health issues,” she said. 


HOMES: 

An artist’s

the planned 

Kāinga Ora 

development at 

Copper Ridge 

in Halswell. 

Meanwhile, Sanders is delivering 

her own flyer this week inviting 

residents to share concerns 

they may have. 

She also hopes to organise a 

meeting to talk about what, if 

anything, residents can do. 

Stage one of the complex is expected 

to be occupied in November 

then two further stages would 

be completed in February and 

June next year. Access would be 

off Main North Rd and Halligan 

Place, which is a cul-de-sac. 

“This is almost exactly what 

happened recently to Copper 

Ridge Halswell residents,” said 

Sanders, referring to the multiunit 

project in Halswell Junction 

Rd, also accessed off a cul-de-sac, 

recently revealed to be a Kāinga 

Ora complex. 

The 7900 sq m property at 

Northwood is next to what 

was originally an 11ha orchard 

block before it was developed for 

housing in the 1990s, promoted 

as “Pentland – a development for 

Belfast”. 


COPPER RIDGE residents are 

being made to “feel guilty and 

worthless”. 

That was the message one 

resident got when attending 

a Kāinga Ora drop-in session 

to discuss the new 17-unit 

social housing development in 

Halswell. 

Two information sessions 

were hosted by Kāinga Ora after 

residents petitioned for work to 

stop at the Copper Ridge 

development to give time 

for a conversation with 

the local community on 

the impacts it might have. 

Kāinga Ora staff hosted 

the sessions but many 

residents left unhappy and 

sent their feedback to The Star. 

“There is nothing you can do,” 

said one resident. 

Another said: “They don’t care 

about the community. They had 

no solutions for us, basically 

telling us they are building as 

many social houses as they can, 

wherever they can and they 

don’t consult communities first.” 

Another resident said she 

asked a spokesperson if the 


NEWS 5 

Kāinga Ora ‘don’t 

care about 

the community’ 

agency reference checks prospective 

tenants. “No We don’t,” 

she was told. 

“Even criminal background?” 

the resident replied. 

“We don’t check,” the spokesperson 

reportedly said. 

Another resident said: “Kāinga 

Ora needs to rewrite the principles 

on its website. They told us 

they don’t consider the impact 

their developments might have 

on communities because that’s 

the council’s job. If the council 

approves them, they build 

them.” 

Said Kainga Ora acting 

regional director Tim 

Harvey (left): “It is not 

uncommon for some 

residents to have concerns 

about new public housing 

developments but mostly we 

find those concerns ease once 

our customers move in and 

residents get to know them. 

We also had positive feedback 

from some residents. They said 

they were looking forward to 

welcoming new people into their 

neighbourhood,” Harvey said. 

Kāinga Ora did offer to 

host a free barbecue for the 

community, one resident said.

Mama Hooch sexual assault survivor 

Sophie Brown shares

IT WAS the Friday night spot. 

Students on the cusp of real 

adulthood – loaded up on 

Scrumpy and Cruisers – lined up 

for hours to get in, spending the 

rest of the night maxing out debit 

cards at the bar and dancing 

until the lights turned on. 

In late 2017 Sophie Brown, then 

19, was one of those students. 

Brown was naively unaware of 

the club’s dark underbelly until 

she was drugged and sexually 

assaulted in a nearby bathroom 

by the manager, Danny Jaz. 

More than five years on, Jaz 

and his brother, Roberto Jaz, 

were named as those convicted in 

April after a trial centred around 

the drugging and sexual assaults 

of more than 20 women at central 

city bar Mama Hooch. 

The men, aged 40 and 38, will 

be sentenced across two days in 

August for the offending, described 

in court as “predatory”. 

Brown is finally able to share 

her story after she successfully

NEWS 7 

reclaims power by speaking out 

After the attack, Brown 

compartmentalised. Tried to 

move on, pretending nothing 

had happened, even attending a 

concert the following weekend. 

Although this worked publicly, 

when she was alone, she needed 

“constant distraction” to not 

think about it. 

Brown also felt sharing the 

assault with people would be a 

burden for them and she found it 

difficult to lean on those around 

her. 

“With this type of thing, it is 

very sensitive to bring up. You 

don’t know what other people 

have been through, you don’t 

know how it’s going to impact 

them. 

“I isolated myself completely. I 

isolated myself from myself, just 

by pushing it back and just acting 

like it didn’t happen.” 

The trauma of assault has 

spread across her life, relationships 

and friendships, impacting 

her in ways she’s still learning 

about. 

Trusting people, she said, is 

impossible. 

Over the years she’s seen 

herself oscillate between oversharing 

and being too open with 

others, to closing herself off and 

not sharing anything. 

“I have a therapist now, she’s 

amazing, but it took me five 

years to get there. 

GUILTY: Danny Jaz (left) and Roberto Jaz have been 

convicted of rape and a raft of other charges relating to 

the drugging and sexual assault of women at their family 

bar Mama Hooch and Venuti. PHOTO: NZ HERALD 

“And that was five years where 

I was either a really fun person, 

and, like, life of the party and 

probably a bit too loud but 

having a good time, to then like 

just this super depressed shell 

of a human that struggles to be 

in social situations and actually 

have meaningful connections 

with people.” 

Only now has she stopped 

blaming herself for the attack. 

“There are so many emotions 

tied up in the events, you know 

– the shame, the embarrassment, 

the guilt, the responsibility – 

and it’s so unfair that people 

have those feelings because of 

something someone else has 

done.” 

Prior to taking the stand, 

Brown learned her attacker had 

pleaded guilty to both sexual 

assault charges regarding her, 

and to 19 other sexual offending 

charges, meaning she was not 

questioned in court about the 

assault itself. 

“The things that I was 

questioned on was the amount 

I’d been drinking, how much 

I usually drunk, you know, all 

those kinds of things.” 

During the trial Judge Paul 

Mabey sat and listened to hours 

of lewd comments about what 

the men had done, wanted to do, 

dreamed of doing, and what they 

thought of specific women and 

their bodies. 

They called each other “rapist” 

and joked about “roofies” – 

substances often used in drugfacilitated 

sexual assaults. 

They shared photos of women 

– staff, bar patrons, young job 

seekers – and argued over who 

would have them. 

Police found footage on 

phones too – 14 minutes of crude 

footage of a woman being raped 

and assaulted made up of 11 

short snippets which the court 

heard were recorded without her 

knowledge. 

On April 26, Jaz was found 

guilty of stupefying Brown, with 

Judge Mabey finding him guilty 

of rape and a raft of other sex 

and stupefying charges. 

His brother was also found 

guilty of rape, sex charges, 

making an intimate recording 

and possession of objectionable 

material. 

Brown, who has waited years 

to say her piece, said she is doing 

so for both herself and other 

survivors out there. 

“There’s so much shame 

and embarrassment and guilt 

wrapped up in having this 

happen to you. So, part of me 

sharing it is that I’m in control 

of how it’s told and I think it’s 

helping me understand that I 

don’t need to be ashamed of 

it and of the fact that this was 

something that happened to me.” 

She also believes there is power 

in speaking out, even if it helps 

only one person. 

“Take it at your own pace 

and just be very, very gentle on 

yourself. 

“It’s just something that 

happened to you, it doesn’t 

define you.”

too much 

screen time 

hinders child 

development 

IMPACT: 

Researchers 

found children 

who spent 

more time 

on screens 

throughout 

early childhood 

scored lower 

on measures of 

language and 

educational 

ability, and 

higher on peer 

problems. 

PHOTO: GETTY 

HIGHER LEVELS of screen 

time in early childhood 

have been linked to poorer 

developmental outcomes for 

children. 

Canterbury University child 

well-being research institute 

academics Dr Megan Gath and 

Professor Gail Gillon, with education 

Professor Brigid McNeill 

and health Professor Lianne 

Woodward, studied the impacts 

of screen exposure on early 

childhood development. 

Using data from more than 

6000 children collected in New 

Zealand’s largest longitudinal 

study, Growing Up in New 

Zealand, the researchers assessed 

children’s screen exposure at 9 

months, 2 years, 4 years, 5 years, 

and 8 years of age. 

The researchers measured the 

amount of time children spent on 

screens at different stages of childhood 

against language, early literacy 

and numeracy skills, and 

peer-related problems, while 

also considering factors such 

as maternal education and 

socio-economic status. 

Said Gath: “The children 

who spent more time on 

screens throughout early 

childhood – 9 months to 

5 years – scored lower on 

measures of language and 

educational ability and higher on 

parent-reported peer problems at 

ages 5 and 8.” 

Screen exposure included direct 

screen time spent watching 

TV or on a device, and indirect 

screen time where the child was 

in a room with the TV on but 

not actively watching. 

Gail 

Gillion 

Megan 

Gath 

Lianne 

Woodward 

The researchers also evaluated 

the impact screen time has on 

development due to reduced time 

participating in other activities. 

Gath said children with high 

levels of screen exposure were 

less likely to be engaging in more 

socially and sensory-rich types 

of childhood activities, such 

as playgroups, museums, 

parks, and cultural events. 

“Screen time is only one 

of many factors that determine 

children’s outcomes, 

but it’s one that is becoming 

increasingly prevalent. Early 

childhood is the time where 

parents have the most influence 

over children’s habits 

and is a critical period for 

setting healthy habits, so if we 

can reduce screen time in early 

childhood there can be positive 

flow-on effects that influence 

good health throughout their 

lifespan.” 

The 2017 Ministry of Health 

Active Play Guidelines recommend 

no sedentary screen time 

for children younger than 2, less 

than one hour per day for children 

aged between 2 and 5, and 

less than two hours per day for 

children 5 years and older. 

Funded by the Ministry of 

Social Development through the 

Children and Families Research 

Fund, the UC research supports 

the continued implementation of 

the existing national screen time 

guidelines and could help inform 

future policies relating to screen 

use in early childhood.

Police close in 

on smash and 

grab youths 

• By Daniel Alvey 

POLICE HAVE made steps 

towards catching the youths 

who smashed their way into the 

Sumner Metro Mart. 

The shop’s owner and Retail 

NZ chief executive Greg Hanford 

criticised the investigation after 

police took 10 days to review 

CCTV footage of the break-in. 

It showed the faces of two the 

four youths who broke into the 

Wakefield Ave store on May 13, 

stealing mostly vaping products. 

On Tuesday, a police 

spokesperson said officers 

are following positive lines of 

inquiry after reviewing the 

footage. 

Canterbury police chiefs 

would not answer questions 

from The Star last week about 

why it took so long to review the 

footage and whether resourcing 

was the reason. 

The owner of the store has 

applied for the Government’s 

$4000 fog cannon subsidy. On 

Monday another $11 million was 

added to the scheme to meet the 

increase in demand. Of the 1664 

subsidy applications approved 

since February, 584 fog cannons 

have been installed and the 

Government said a further 3350 

will be subsidised by the end of 

this year.

A WALTHAM resident’s dog 

was killed by a “vicious” pitbull 

whose owner ignored calls for it 

to be muzzled. 

The pitbull owner hastily took 

off with his pet following the 

attack, which led to the death of 

Jo Sturgeon’s alsatian-staffy cross 

Scotty. 

When Sturgeon woke up on 

Monday morning to the sound of 

screaming, she knew something 

was wrong. 

She leapt out of bed and raced 

outside to find Scotty lying on 

the ground having a seizure and 

covered in blood. 

Sturgeon noticed a man and 

his white pitbull fleeing the 

scene, making their way on to 

Ensors Rd. A witness, who had 

watched the brutal attack unfold, 

told her what had happened. 

The witness said Scotty was 

poking his head through a gate 

while the dog walker and pitbull 

were passing. 

The pitbull lunged at Scotty, 

taking hold of the dog’s jaw and 

locked on. It took the witness’s 

steel-cap boots to pry open the 

pitbull’s grip and release its hold. 

“The upper jaw was completely 

crushed, almost severed,” 

Sturgeon said. 

“I was covered in blood. He’s 

only a little guy, but the scene I 

came across, with seeing half his 

face hanging off, is something I

Scotty was rushed to a vet but 

his injuries were too severe, and 

the decision was made to put 

him down. A devastated Sturgeon 

believes she saw enough of 

the owner to realise it was the 

same white pitbull with a history 

of lunging in the past. 

She said the dog and its owner 

frequently walked down Mac- 

Kenzie Ave where she lives and, 

when triggered, the pitbull regularly 

lunges at people and gates. 

“This guy has repeatedly been 

told to put the dog on a lead and

he never does,” she said. 

“Our landlady has constantly 

said to this owner that he needs 

to be putting a muzzle on his 

dog as it makes a constant point 

of lunging, but he never did and 

now our dog is dead.” 

SPCA and police were contacted 

by Sturgeon following the 

incident and the city council was 

also notified. 

Sturgeon is still looking for 

answers. She doesn’t know the 

person who walks the pitbull 

but was upset he fled the scene 

without checking on her dog’s 

condition. 

“He was only a wee little guy,” 

she said about her pet of eight 

years. 

City council bylaws state any 

person walking their dog on a 

footpath, berm or verge must 

have their pet on a leash. 

If an area of the city doesn’t 

have specific dog walking rules, 

it is an “under effective control” 

zone – where owners can have 

their dogs but must be aware of 

their actions and ensure they’re 

responsive to commands. The 

dog must not be creating a 

nuisance. 

“Having your dog under 

effective control is as much 

about the safety of your dog as 

it is about the safety of others,” 

a statement on the city council 

website reads.

COURT 


Rapist, murderer told appeal against 

prison classification ‘lacks merit’ 

• By Ric Stevens 

Richard Lyall Genge 

A RAPIST and murderer who 

has been in jail since 1995, and 

who has no money, has been 

told to pay $7000 if he wants to 

continue the latest in a series of 

lawsuits against the Department 

of Corrections. 

It is unlikely that Richard Lyall 

Genge will be able to find the 

money to keep his court battles 

going. A Court of Appeal judge, 

Justice Forrest Miller, says Genge 

is “impecunious”. 

Genge was jailed for life with 

a minimum non-parole period 

of 15 years after raping and 

murdering 22-year-old Anne 

Maree Ellens in the grounds of 

the Christchurch East School in 

Gloucester St in September 1994. 

While Ellens was heavily intoxicated, 

Genge and co-accused 

Samuel Kirner and Michael 

October took her into the school, 

raped her and savagely beat her 

to death. Her semi-naked body 

was found on the school steps 

the next morning. 

The three men were jailed 

in October 1995. Genge was 

19-years-old at the time. 

Since then, Genge has taken 

more than 20 appeals and applications 

to the courts about his 

conviction, sentencing and aspects 

of his treatment in prison. 

In 2018, when he was ordered 

to pay more than $22,000 in legal 

costs for a previous court case 

that he lost, Genge was earning 

only $2.17 a week in prison allowances. 

In his recent lawsuits, Genge 

has been contesting his jail 

security classification as a low to 

medium-risk prisoner. 

His argument is that as a result 

of this classification, he is unable 

to participate in rehabilitative 

and reintegrative activities, 

which are available only for prisoners 

with a lower “minimum” 

risk classification. 

Because he is unable to do the 

courses, he argues, he has been 

unable to demonstrate to the 

Parole Board he should be freed 

from jail. 

In 2019, he went all the way 

to the Supreme Court trying to 

reopen an appeal against his rape 

conviction he had abandoned 21 

years earlier. He was unsuccessful. 

In his latest court action, 

Genge argued the way his security 

clearance was determined – 

through a statistics-based measure 

known as the “RoC*RoI” 

– was unlawful. 

Roc*RoI is the Department of 

Corrections’ core risk assessment 

measure, and it stands for “risk 

of (re)conviction multiplied by 

risk of (re)imprisonment”. 

The tool draws on statistics 

from 133,000 criminal histories 

and uses 32 inputs drawn from 

an individual’s circumstances – 

such as age, the number of convictions, 

or total years in prison 

– to produce a number used to 

predict that individual’s risk of 

reoffending within five years. 

This report was produced 

by Open Justice – Te Pātītī, 

a Public Interest Journalism 

initiative funded by NZ on Air 

In submissions to the High 

Court in 2021, Genge said that 

his RoC*RoI score had been 

consistently higher than 0.7 since 

2003. This would suggest his risk 

of reoffending if released would 

be 70 per cent. 

He told the High Court that, 

because he had been sentenced 

to prison for more than five years 

for a sexual or violent offence, 

it was impossible for him to be 

reduced to a minimum security 

classification that would allow 

him to participate in rehabilitation 

programmes. 

However, the High Court 

found the use of the tool did 

not inevitably result in a lowmedium 

security classification 

for Genge. Corrections staff were 

able to override it. 

The court said this was confirmed 

by Genge’s own classification 

history, which had ranged 

from low to high and back to 

low-medium over the years. 

The High Court dismissed his 

application for a declaration that 

his rights had been breached, 

and for compensation. 

Genge then tried to take a 

claim about his prison classification 

and the consequences for 

him to the Court of Appeal, only 

to have a registrar decline his 

application for a waiver of any 

court costs to be paid if he lost 

the case in that court. 

“The registrar found the appeal 

lacks merit. I agree,” Justice 

Miller said. 

He declined an application for 

a review of the registrar’s decision 

and said security of $7060 

must be paid by June 16 if Genge 

wanted to continue.

Money dries up in 

fight to stop feed 

barns being built 

• By Heidi Slade 

RESIDENTS fighting a 

controversial cattle farm in 

Kaituna Valley are short of the 

money needed to pay experts for 

a consent hearing. 

Little River Eco Collective has 

raised more than $5600 of the 

$19,000 it needs to argue against 

Wongan Hills Ltd’s application 

to build four planned 

composting feed barns. 

The Environment Canterbury 

hearing is set to take place in 

July. 

“It’s all about expert evidence 

at consent hearings and so, if we 

don’t reach our [fundraising] 

target, we won’t be able to 

challenge some of the claims 

that the farmer makes,” 

collective spokesperson Donald 

Matheson said. 

“The valley is not just 

occasionally flood prone, but 

according to the 

residents there are 

floods regularly 

and quite 

significantly. 

“The place 

where the barns 

are planned 

Donald 

Matheson 

will be under 

water and, if 

that happens, 

not only will the composting 

process . . . go anaerobic, it will 

start stinking and it will give off

Kaituna Valley. 

methane and stop composting 

efficiently,” he said. 

The collective is concerned 

this poses threats to Te Waihora/ 

Lake Ellesmere. 

“It would be disastrous,” 

Matheson said. 

The planned barns would 

house up to 2200 cattle, 24 hours 

a day. 

The collective want ECan 

to decline Wongan Hills 

Ltd’s application due to the 

environmental risk. It has 

presented two community 

petitions on the issue to ECan. 

Wongan Hills Ltd has applied 

for land use consent and a 

permit to discharge odour for up 

to four composting feed 

barns as part of an existing 

operation. 

The hearing in front 

of a panel of independent 

hearing commissioners 

will include evidence and 

presentations by Wongan Hills 

Ltd, submitters, such as the 

collective, and ECan. 

“We need both legal advice 

and also some specialist advice 

on modelling of flooding 

because that’s one of the key 

issues,” Matheson said. 

Wongan Hills Ltd owner 

Brent Thomas would not 

comment.

Library 

concept 

design 

revealed 

THE CITY council has unveiled 

the concept design for the rebuild 

of the South Library and Service 

Centre building. 

Damaged in the February 22, 

2011 earthquake, the facility has 

been made safe to occupy with 

temporary strengthening, but the 

city council is considering a rebuild 

to future-proof the building 

for decades to come. 

“The new concept design has 

been created by Ignite Architects, 

with input from other consultants, 

based on the first round 

of feedback from our loyal 

customers and from staff,” said 

city council head of libraries and 

information Carolyn Robertson. 

The existing facility will only 

close once a temporary library 

and service centre has been 

established. There’s no start date 

for construction yet, and it’s estimated 

that a new build or repair 

would take about 18–24 months. 

Feedback is welcome on the 

design until Monday, June 26. It 

can be viewed in the foyer of the 

library or online at ccc.govt.nz

Rescuer comforts two survivors 

Monday will be the 20th 

anniversary of the Air 

Adventures plane crash 

near Christchurch Airport 

which claimed eight lives. 

Volunteer firefighter Rob 

Henderson (left) was the 

first to find the wreckage 

in thick fog. He talks to 

reporter Daniel Alvey 

about how the tragedy 

changed his life 

IT WAS a cold winter night in 

2003. Rob Henderson was at 

home just after 7pm on June 6 

when he got a call to assist with 

the search for an Air Adventures 

Piper Chieftain twin-engine 

plane which had crashed on 

approach to Christchurch 

Airport. 

His Rolleston Volunteer Fire 

Brigade crew arrived at the 

command point just after 7.30pm 

and was sent out to an area that 

hadn’t yet been searched. 

“It was a bit sketchy, I was 

absolutely packing myself 

because this is the first time I’d 

had to go out and search for a 

missing plane.” 

Henderson, another firefighter 

and a police officer were sent off 

in search of the plane, splitting 

up in a bid to find the wreckage. 

As Henderson walked across a 

SCENE: The Transport Accident Investigation Commission 

investigation found the crash was caused by pilot error. 

field, he heard what he thought 

were peacocks from a nearby 

farm. 

“I thought: ‘That was weird’.” 

He carried on into the foggy 

night. Even with his rescue torch, 

visibility was down to just a few 

metres. 

“I went over a bank and saw 

these trees down and thought 

this was a bit odd. I started 

seeing bits of aircraft scattered 

around, then I found it.” 

Henderson radioed it in: “I 

think I’ve found it, I’ve found it.” 

As he got closer, he saw a skid 

mark left behind by the plane 

as it came crashing down. Then 

he came to the edge of the fog 

and was confronted by a horrific 

scene. 

The sounds he thought 

were peacocks were actually 

shouts from the two survivors 

of the crash. The nine Crop 

and Food Research Lincoln 

management staff aboard the 

plane were returning from a oneday 

conference in Palmerston 

North. Seven of them and the 

pilot lost their lives, while two 

survived, after the plane crashed 

into trees about 2km from the 

runway.

among wreckage of fatal flight 

A Transport Accident 

Investigation Commission 

investigation found the crash 

was caused by pilot error. 

The report said pilot Michael 

Bannerman descended lower 

than the 

minimum 

altitude for an 

instrument 

approach 

before the 

crash. 

The 

survivors, 

Michael 

Bannerman 

Tim Lindley 

and Richard 

Barton, 

were still strapped into their 

seats facing each other when 

Henderson arrived at the crash 

scene. He reassured them help 

was on the way but did not have 

enough first aid experience to 

treat their serious injuries. 

“They were in and out of 

consciousness and more 

concerned about getting out of 

there,” Henderson said. 

“It was a hard situation to be 

in without any equipment or 

medical knowledge of what to 

do.” 

Barton suffered serious leg 

injuries, while Lindley badly 

damaged his right arm and right 

eye. 

Henderson searched the 

FATED: The Air Adventures Piper Chieftain plane crashed into trees about 2km short of 

Christchurch Airport.

wreckage for more survivors but 

there were none. He said Lindley 

and Barton were aware their 

colleagues had died. 

“I think they knew they were 

the only ones. They had been 

there for sometime, even before 

I arrived, and there was no other 

movement or talking.” 

Lindley and Barton’s seats 

had been flung clear of the main 

wreckage, while most of the 

deceased were at the back of the 

plane. Bannerman was found 

strapped into his seat in the 

cockpit. 

Henderson did his best to 

explain where he was to the 

other first responders – but the 

fog made it very difficult. 

“I ended up sitting with 

(Lindley and Barton) for a while 

because I couldn’t explain where 

I was, it was just that foggy. 

“It felt forever, but it was 

probably half an hour to an hour 

before someone arrived.” 

Henderson had only been a 

firefighter for 18 months when he 

was confronted with the scenes 

that night. 

“It was very difficult for a new 

person to the fire service to deal 

with when you have people all 

around you that are deceased.” 

Now 20 years on, Henderson 

can still visualise the scenes from 

that fateful night – the mangled 

wreckage, the smell of jet fuel. 

Those scenes changed his career 

path from working with youth 

offenders to becoming a flight 

medic with the Canterbury West 

Coast Air Rescue Helicopter. 

“It was that day and not 

knowing a whole lot of medical 

skills, I encouraged myself to 

learn.” 

By 2008, Henderson signed 

up with St John, completed his 

emergency medical technician 

training and became a volunteer 

ambulance officer. After two 

years volunteering, he decided to 

make it his full-time career. He 

packed up his family and moved 

to Auckland where he completed 

the remainder of his paramedic 

training. He was based out of 

the Mangere Ambulance Station.

Desma Hogg, 42 

Katherine Carman, 35 

Andrew Rosanowski, 37 

He lived in Auckland for about 

four years before moving back to 

Christchurch, where he worked 

as a paramedic. 

He spent his days off on callouts 

for the Rolleston Volunteer 

Fire Brigade. 

About five years ago, he saw 

an advertisement for more Piper 

Chieftain plane flight medics 

to join helicopter crews after 

the Government increased the 

required number of paramedics 

on each chopper to two. 

“I ended up applying for it, 

never thought I’d get it. I ended 

up getting it, and since then it’s 

been all go,” Henderson said. 

From there he started training 

and learning a whole new set 

of skills to be a flight medic, 

including the basics of how to fly 

a helicopter if he ever needed to. 

Henderson has a dual role on 

the chopper.

•From page 17 

When travelling to the 

rescue he assists the pilot with 

communications and navigation, 

and when on the scene he 

operates the winch, lowering 

either the paramedic or another 

responder down the line. Once 

the patient is aboard, he works 

with the other medics as they 

return to base. 

“I quite enjoy doing the 

winching side of things. It is a 

different aspect of the job. 

“You could be winching at 

6500ft but only doing 100ft 

winch.” 

The helicopter crews are 

called to assist with road 

crashes where major trauma is 

involved or to remote areas like 

farms, mountainsides or boats, 

unreachable by road. 

Henderson recalled one of his 

more memorable call-outs. 

“My first year on the helicopter 

we got sent down to Mt Cook 

to a hiking party. One of them 

had slipped off and gone down 

a few hundred feet in very 

mountainous terrain, and he was 

pretty banged up. 

“We ended up getting the alpine 

cliff rescue team from Mt Cook 

and winching them down. The 

whole rescue took a few hours to 

complete.” 

Depending on the day, 

Henderson said he either has one 

of the best jobs in the world – or 

the worst. “There can be the best 

view looking over the mountains 

to the Canterbury Plains at 6500 

to 7000ft. It can be a good job 

but it also can be a very hard job 

dealing with trauma and people’s 

lives.” 

As a father of four boys, 

Henderson said the hardest callouts 

are those involving kids. 

“When you are rocking up to 

a child that is critically ill or has 

major trauma, you get on with 

the job at the time, but afterwards 

you think that could have been 

my children, especially when they 

are around the same age so they 

have a bit of a soft spot for me.” 

Henderson said he has to 

remember to leave his emotions 

at the gate when he heads home 

for the day so those closest to him 

don’t get affected.

dealing with trauma’

“I don’t go home and talk to my 

partner or kids about the detail 

of every job I’ve been on. My 

boys love coming to the base and 

looking around and seeing all the 

aviation stuff.” 

Henderson doesn’t know what 

the future holds for him yet, but 

he said he’d love to get his flying 

qualifications. 

“I’d love to start flying. I 

could see myself doing a bit of 

recreational flying.” 

Through his 20-plus years with 

emergency services, one thing 

that has stuck is his nickname

‘Stubborn’ farmer sells 

Tarras land to airport 

A CENTRAL Otago farmer 

who once described himself 

as “accommodating” but 

“stubborn” has changed his 

mind and sold land to the 

Christchurch Airport. 

The airport has bought up 

hundreds of hectares of farmland 

in Tarras, about 25 minutes 

from Cromwell, over the past 

three years with the intention 

of building an international 

airport at the site. 

Farmer Phillip Parcell said 

in 2020 he would not sell 40ha 

to the city council-controlled 

airport as he did not need the 

money and was attached to the 

land where he was born. 

Unlike the farmland next 

door, his old-school oasis has 

not been cleared of trees to allow 

for irrigation pivots. It was the 

last farm in Tarras to stop using 

draught horses and the second 

to be subdivided in 1882. 

Parcell’s property was what 

remained of a much bigger 

sheep farm bought by his father 

John after he served in World 

War 2. 

But on Tuesday, airport chief 

strategy and stakeholder officer 

Michael Singleton said the company 

had bought the property 

off Parcell. It sits next to the 

750ha of land it already owned. 

The terms of the deal are confidential. 

Parcell would be able 

to continue occupying the land, 

Singleton said. 

Singleton said the airport 

would release information about 

where the runway to be built in 

the coming weeks.

Horror car crash uncertainty: Tall 

Fern’s family feared she’d die 

• By Nathan Morton 

A TALL Fern star remains in an 

induced coma and her family 

reveal they feared she would die 

after suffering critical injuries in 

a horror car crash nine days ago. 

Mary Goulding is in intensive 

care at Christchurch Hospital 

after the crash in Rangiora on 

May 20. 

Her sister Georgia said the 

family is taking her recovery one 

day at a time but that things have 

improved over the past week. 

“We were really fearful she 

wouldn’t live for the first four 

days,” Georgia told the NZ 

Herald. 

“It was a really trying time, 

but then we reached the next 

stage where we were confident 

she would live and that’s where 

we’re at.” 

Georgia said the hospital’s goal 

is to slowly bring her sister out of 

an induced coma but the process 

will depend on Mary’s daily 

condition. 

“The uncertainty of everything 

else is so overwhelming, where 

it’s all about where we sit at the 

moment instead of being able to 

look to the future.” 

Mary is one of six siblings, her 

family is spread across the world 

– with siblings as far as London 

and Toronto. 

Georgia is based in Australia. 

She flew back to visit her Canterbury-based 

family the moment 

she learned of her sister’s situation. 

Most of Mary’s family has 

come together to connect and 

support each other over the last 

nine days, something that stems 

from a strong family bond. 

“We really did lean on each 

other hugely, especially in that 

first week,” said Georgia. 

“Then we’ve been pretty overwhelmed 

by the support from 

around the community - around 

the world really - she’s travelled 

everywhere and met so many 

people.” 

When Georgia thinks about 

her sister, she says the first thing 

all her siblings own is Mary is 

the favourite. 

“You’re not meant to have favourites, 

but she easily is as she’s 

so different to us.” 

The difference isn’t just 

physical, with the basketball star 

stretching to six feet tall compared 

with her shorter siblings, 

but in terms of personality. 

She’s known by her family as 

an individual with a calming and 

peace-making attitude towards 

life, taking everything at face 

value and never bad-mouthing 

others. 

Growing up, it was clear Mary 

had a competitive side – being 

the second youngest of six meant 

she had to learn how to win 

without the physical edge. 

“It was easy to beat her when 

you’re six or seven years older, 

but she’d find a way to compete,” 

said Georgia. 

“She’s clever, she has a real 

sports intuition and would work 

out how to beat you even if you’re 

ten times stronger. And then she 

did grow bigger and stronger.” 

Georgia reminisced over 

watching her sister fly down 

Auckland’s One Tree Hill on a 

plastic motorbike, using her bare 

feet to brake. 

“She had no awareness of 

pain.” 

But it was the drive and hunger 

inside of her that pushed her to 

go further in sports than her 

siblings, some of which already 

played highly competitively. 

As Georgia remembers, Mary’s 

path to professional basketball 

wasn’t straightforward. She had 

talent but was never considered 

a gifted prodigy, her success was 

self-made. 

After attending Rangiora High 

School, Goulding spent a year at 

Gillette College in Wyoming before 

being recruited by Fordham 

University. 

“She had to work really hard, 

even in university she did it the 

hard way by sitting on the bench 

and listening to coaches, finding 

her playing style,” she said. 

RECOVERY: 

Mary Goulding’s 

family is taking 

her recovery 

one day at a 

time, but things 

have improved 

over the past 

week. 

PHOTOS: NZ 

HERALD 

“She had that intuition for putting 

her body in the right places 

and doing off-the-ball things 

only people in the sport could 

recognise.” 

Mary grew into a fine defensive 

player, built from previous 

team mentalities that good 

defence will win you games. 

She travelled around the world, 

playing in Sweden for a time 

before competing in the WNBA 

– which Georgia said was a hard 

road for her sister. 

“It’s hard to live in the middle 

of nowhere,” she said. 

“She wasn’t a stand-out player 

but she didn’t turn away, and 

eventually she became an integral 

member of the squad.” 

Mary made her debut for the 

Tall Ferns in 2019 and made nine 

appearances for the national 

team. 

There’s an admiration from 

Georgia for how Mary applied 

herself, going from an outsider 

to one of the Tall Ferns’ integral 

defensive members. 

“Right up until the accident, 

I was talking to her trainer and 

she was working on her shooting 

technique, she was still refining 

things. That’s something that 

always impressed me – I love 

sport and played at a high level, 

but I never had the same drive 

that she had.” 

Mary’s family rode her highs 

and lows, cheering her on as 

her sporting career went from 

strength to strength. Yet she 

would still find time to help 

those around her, intentionally 

going out of her way to serve and 

spend time with those in her 

community. 

“If there was a moment of 

doubt or frustration, one of 

us would always be there to 

support her either in person or 

we’d be sending her messages 

constantly,” said Georgia. 

Messages of support have 

flooded in from across the world. 

In Perth, a fundraiser was organised 

in her honour by one of her 

former teams. 

Georgia would receive texts 

from people she’d never met, 

telling her they’d met Mary at 

some point and she’d impacted 

them in some way. 

The family is processing the 

situation in different ways, but 

the mindset is if anybody has the 

strength to recover, it’s Mary. 

“(She’s) the strongest person 

we know – physically, mentally, 

the optimism comes from the 

fact she’s got it tough, the whole 

world is praying for her and we’ll 

be part of that.” 

Goulding with the Bendigo 

Spirit.

Judy Bailey: We Need a Rev’ Up! 

KORU NUTRITION 

As she enters her seventh 

decade, journalist and former 

news presenter Judy Bailey has 

become aware that society’s 

attitudes towards older people 

need, in her words, ‘a rev up.’ 

“Once you pass 65, people 

tend to think it’s a downhill 

slide to the Zimmer frame. 

But that’s far from the truth.” 

“Many of us remain 

physically 

active, 

paddleboarding, cycling, and 

even tramping well into our 

70s.” 

With population of older 

adults expected to double 

over the next 20 years, Judy 

is teaming up with Koru 

Nutrition to change the way 

New Zealander’s view and 

experience ageing. 

With a focus on holistic 

wellness and a commitment 

to excellence, Koru Nutrition 

aims to empower individuals 

to take charge of their health 

as they age. 

The New Zealand-owned 

company specialises in natural 

health products, including 

Koru FX and Koru Joint. 

As part of the project, Judy 

will be interviewing health 

experts and uncovering 

practical steps that help us age 

well. 

“I’ll collaborate with 

health professionals such as 

nutritionists, physiotherapists, 

dietitians, 

doctors, 

psychologists, and osteopaths 

alongside the Koru Nutrition 

team to bring the latest 

research to the forefront the 

conversation around ageing 

well.” 

On why she chose to work 

with Koru Nutrition, Judy had 

this to say: 

“I love Koru Nutrition 

because it’s family-owned 

New Zealand company whose 

ethos aligns with my own.” 

“They make quality products 

with the best ingredients and 

promote a holistic approach 

to ageing. I believe that if you 

can age naturally, that’s all for 

the better.” 

“I live an active lifestyle, 

and as I get older, I would 

hate to have walks with the 

dog curtailed or not be able to 

lift the grandchildren onto the 

flying fox.” 

Judy Bailey is all set to 

uncover the most up to date

age well from some of the

United seeks a return to winning 

ways in Chatham Cup battle 

Premier rugby, hockey 

and rugby league 

take a break for King’s 

Birthday weekend, 

while the Chatham Cup 

continues and the top 

two teams in premier 

1 netball face off in a 

grand final rematch. 

Jaime Cunningham 

reports 

FOOTBALL 

Christchurch United will be 

looking to get back to their winning 

ways in the second round 

of the Chatham Cup, when the 

Southern League leaders take 

on University of Canterbury on 

Monday. 

It follows their 1-1 draw 

against Cashmere Technical on 

Saturday, United breaking their 

eight-game winning streak. 

United head coach Paul Ifill 

said it was a “pretty difficult” 

first half, but the team felt confident 

at halftime following a red 

card being handed to Technical’s 

Tom Schwarz. 

“We created enough chances 

to go out in front at halftime 

though,” he said. 

United’s Sam Philip was the 

first to find the score in the 58th 

minute from a Daniel MacLennan 

cross. 

But Ifill said United then “fell 

into a hole,” while Technical 

played like they had nothing to 

lose. 

Technical’s Garbhan Coughlan 

evened the game up in the 76th 

minute, before narrowly missing 

a header in the dying minutes for 

the win. 

Both teams will now shift 

focus for the second round of 

the Chatham Cup this weekend 

alongside Ferrymead Bays, FC 

Twenty 11, Coastal Spirit and 

University of Canterbury. 

United and University of 

Canterbury last clashed in April 

in the first round of the English 

Cup where United came up on 

top 4-0. 

“We really want a decent cup 

run after being knocked out at 

this stage last year,” Ifill said. 

Nomads and Selwyn United 

take a break after Nomads 3-1 

win over Selwyn. 

FC Twenty 11 face Bays following 

their 6-0 thrashing against 

Nelson Suburbs, while Cashmere 

take on Coastal Spirit. 

Both Bays and Coastal go into 

their second round Chatham 

Cup matches following wins over 

Green Island (2-1) and Dunedin 

City Royals (1-0) respectively. 

NETBALL 

A rematch of last year’s final 

between Lincoln University A 

and UC A headlines the final 

games of the first round in premier 

netball on Tuesday.

Although Lincoln University 

A are unbeaten and comfortably 

lead the points table, the return 

of several Tactix and National 

Netball League players to UC set 

up a tight clash. 

UC overcame the winless 

Technical A 59-41 in round six, 

boosted by the return of Vika 

Koloto, Paris Lokotui and Parris 

Peterra. Technical will have to 

beat Kereru B to avoid dropping 

to premier 2. 

Lincoln University A stunned 

Hearts St Peters A with a 

dominant last quarter, extending 

their four goal lead to a 45-31 

win. Hearts take on Lincoln 

University B in the last game 

before the championship round. 

Lincoln University B won their 

fourth game of the season in a 

tight battle against Kereru A, 

53-49. 

Kereru A take on Kia Toa A, 

who may have avoided relegation 

with their 44-42 win over Kereru 

B in round six. 

Premier 1 stats:

RUGBY 

Sumner recorded a massive 

comeback 47-36 win over Lincoln 

University to claim the biggest 

upset in the Metro premier 

competition in round seven. 

After trailing 24-0 at 30 mins, 

Sumner looked headed for their 

fourth loss of the season. 

However, head coach Gareth 

D’almeida said the Wave stuck 

to their game plan in the second 

half, which essentially won the 

game. 

“It was great to see the boys 

come together and regroup,” he 

said. 

Sumner will challenge the 

DCL Shield for the third time 

this season against University on 

June 10. 

D’almedia said the extra incentive 

adds a “bit of flavour” for 

the game, but the team’s biggest 

focus will be making the upcoming 

playoffs in July. 

“I think we still haven’t seen 

the best of Sumner yet.” 

University head into the clash 

following a strong 34-19 win 

over Linwood, while Lincoln 

University will take on secondplaced 

Marist Albion. Marist 

narrowly beat Shirley 38-33. 

Shirley and Linwood will contest 

the Lionel Hunter Trophy on 

June 10. 

Burnside will look to avenge 

their 34-30 loss to New Brighton 

when they play the winless Belfast 

next week. 

New Brighton take on High 

School Old Boys’ in round eight. 

HSOB climbed into the top eight 

with a 39-27 win over Sydenham 

on Saturday. 

Defending champions Sydenham 

will play Christchurch, who 

had their first win of the season 

against Belfast, 28-18. 

In the women’s premier 

grade, the previously unbeaten 

Christchurch suffered a 34-24 

loss to University to tighten up 

the table as finals loom. 

RUGBY LEAGUE 

The Linwood Keas will look 

to refresh during this weekend’s 

break before their match against 

the Riccarton Knights in round 

10. 

After a seven-game winning 

streak, the Keas suffered their 

CHARGE: Sumner number eight Macenzzie Duncan fends 

off Lincoln University in the Wave’s 47-36 comeback win. 

PHOTO: TONY BRUNT 

second straight loss to the 

Hornby Panthers, 42-28. 

A slow first half was again a 

problem for the Keas, who lost 

their first match to the Halswell 

Hornets 18-8 in similar circumstances. 

The Panthers dominated the 

first half and led 32-6 at halftime. 

Hornby held on for the wine to 

move to 14 points alongside the 

Keas as a result. 

Linwood will look to return to 

their winning ways when they 

play the fifth-placed Knights on 

June 10. However, the Knights 

will be confident after their 

upset 38-32 win over the Eastern 

Eagles in round nine. 

The fourth-placed Eagles play 

the third-placed Halswell Hornets, 

who recorded a 30-16 win 

over the Northern Bulldogs. 

A controlled first half for 

Halswell again won the game 

for the side, after leading 26-4 at 

halftime. However, the Bulldogs 

will take plenty of positives from 

the game after a second-half 

fightback. 

The Bulldogs travel to Leslie 

Park to take on the Panthers next 

Saturday. 

HOCKEY 

As the Canterbury Premier 

League grades head into the 

midway mark of the season, 

upsets have been hard to come 

by as the top teams continue to 

cement their places at the top of 

the ladders. 

Carlton Redcliffs and Marist 

lead both standings following 

round six wins before the long 

weekend break. 

George Baker netted an impressive 

five goals in Marist’s 7-4 

win over University on Saturday. 

However, Marist will want to 

concede fewer goals when they 

take on table-leaders Carlton 

Redcliffs on June 10. 

Carlton go into the match 

off the back of a 2-0 win over 

fourth-placed Harewood, who 

play Southern in round seven. 

Avon notched their second win 

of the season over HSOB/Burnside, 

3-1, while Southern and 

Hornby settled for a 2-2 draw. 

In the women’s competition, 

Carlton scrapped through for a 

4-3 win over Harewood to stay 

level with Marist at the top of the 

table on 13 points. 

Marist, who had a bye in 

round six, will play Carlton when 

hockey returns next week. Both 

teams are yet to lose this season. 

HSOB/Burnside had a strong 

3-0 win against Avon on Saturday, 

and moved to eight points. 

Hornby managed their first 

win of the season over Southern 

3-0, and will play HSOB/Burnside 

in round seven. 

Meanwhile, Southern will 

continue to search for their 

first goal of the year against 

Harewood.

Christchurch Netball Centre 

has appointed Tom Houghton 

as its new general manager. 

Houghton takes over from 

Megan McLay, who has been 

involved with CNC for over 

20 years. Starting on June 19, 

Houghton is no stranger to 

the sport, having previously

Junior All Whites 

eliminated from U20 

FIFA World Cup 

The Junior All Whites have 

been eliminated from the 

under-20 FIFA World Cup 

after suffering a 4-0 defeat to 

the United States. Captained 

by former Selwyn United 

defender Finn Surman, 

New Zealand were able to 

keep the USA at 1-0 for 60 

minutes before the Americans 

powered to three more goals 

to win the round of 16 playoff. 

New Zealand qualified 

for the round following a 

win, draw and loss against 

Guatemala, Uzbekistan and 

hosts Argentina in group A 

respectively. The USA will play 

either Uruquay or Gambia in 

the quarter finals.

THE ANNUAL school match 

between Christchurch Boys’ 

High and Christ’s College may 

be the most fiercely-contested of 

the year – but the 138th edition 

was a complete 70-minute 

masterclass from the blue-andblacks. 

Christchurch Boys’ notched 

their 85th win against their old 

foes, 37-3, at the school’s Straven 

Rd field yesterday. 

Both teams went into the 

historical fixture following Miles 

Toyota Premiership wins over

coaching sessions. 

The sessions have been established 

by Canterbury Rugby so 

two different teams can be assisted 

with skills each week – aimed 

at new players in particular. 

Community rugby manager 

Fiona Smith said 1300 female 

players were registered in the 

region last year, and although 

final numbers cannot be yet 

confirmed for this season, there 

won the match 47-33 last year, 

stunned Christ’s with three tries 

in the space of 10min in the first 

half. 

Christ’s first five Leo Jelley was 

successful in a penalty attempt 

in the 22nd minute, but no opportunities 

came for the visitors 

to add to the three points. 

The passing of Christchurch 

Boys’ was too slick for Christ’s, 

who often found themselves on 

the back foot. 

Leading 22-3 at halftime, 

Christchurch Boys’ were quick to 

pick up where they left off, with 

a fourth try going to centre Jack 

Busch-Ward following a strong 

break by number eight Marshall 

Blackley. 

is already a big increase. 

“We are currently sitting on 

around a 30 per cent rise in junior 

and teenage girls and 25 per 

cent in women, and players are 

still coming in,” she said. 

New Zealand Rugby predicted 

a 40 per cent increase from the 

number of girls and women 

playing in 2022, estimating over 

35,000 to play club or school 

rugby this season. 

Tries to Hiro Fushigami 

and Victory Isaako added to 

Christchurch Boys’ leadf. 

Christ’s were unable to hold 

onto possession long enough to 

near the tryline, and lacked line 

speed and the quick feet that 

Christchurch Boys’ used, which 

ultimately cost them the game. 

The loss ended Christ’s threegame 

unbeaten streak start to the 

season, while Christchurch Boys’ 

had already lost a game against 

defending champions, Nelson 

College, 14-10. 

Both teams enjoy a week’s 

break, and return with local 

clashes next weekend. Christ’s 

take on St Bede’s College in a Friday 

night match on June 9, while 

This year’s Miles Toyota Cup 

is primarily focused on developing 

and keeping these players in 

the game, by adjusting scrum 

and lineout rules that will be 

continually reviewed throughout 

the season. 

Canterbury Rugby has also 

introduced a new junior grade 

for year 5, 6 and 7 pupils, to cater 

for the next generation of cup 

players coming through, played 

on Monday nights. 

Prebbleton, Marist Albion, 

Merivale Papanui, Rolleston, 

Ōtautahi and Kaiapoi have all 

entered teams in the grade. 

Previously, the cup has been a 

qualifier for the national championships, 

similar to the boys’ 

Miles Toyota Premiership. 

Christchurch Girls’ and 

Manukura were last year’s joint 

winners, after a 19-19 draw. 

This season, there will be 

a series of knockout matches 

between Crusader region teams 

who wish to contest the title after 

the cup. 

The Miles Toyota Cup 

continued yesterday afternoon at 

Burnside Park.

Chlorination 

Nowadays people are eager to take 

a more active part in deciding how to 

be remembered. This is a way you can 

remove some uncertainty from your 

family members at this difficult time. 

Pre-arranging your funeral provides peace 

of mind for you and your family, knowing 

that you’re not leaving your family with 

all the decisions. It enables you to leave 

an expression of your wishes to guide 

your family on how you would like to 

be remembered. It assists with answers 

to common questions about details such 

as venue, readings, music and flowers. 

Family members can also gain comfort 

from knowing they are respectfully 

following the wishes of their loved one. 

Lamb & Hayward are happy to meet 

with you and guide you through a prearrangement 

at a time suitable to you. 

There is no cost for this service. You can 

choose how much detail you record with 

us. After meeting with one of our funeral 

directors we will hold on file a record of 

your wishes. If you wish to add or change 

your wishes in the future this can be done 

at any time. There are no fees charged by 

the Lamb & Hayward Funeral Trustee Ltd 

for the establishment of your pre-paid 

plan, management of the trust, or to exit 

the trust.

in water – 

again a big no 

I recently read with great interest an 

article in The Star, May 25, regarding 

the proposed Government directive for 

chlorination of our drinking water. 

I have a severe kidney problem and over 

chlorination of our water supply would 

greatly affect my health and well-being. I 

need to drink two to three litres of water 

a day and to have excess chlorine added 

to our water would not only cause me 

further kidney problems but would be 

detrimental to my future health. 

This can be found in many studies 

by reputable researchers that too much 

chlorine in our body for those with 

kidney problems can cause extreme 

diagnoses and even to the point of 

complete kidney failure. 

Is the Government going to supply 

me with the amount of bottled water I 

require a day? Or compensate me for the 

loss of the only good kidney I have left? Or 

just disregard my health for the sake of 

their blind and unjust over use of power 

over the population? 

D McGregor 

I totally object to the chlorination of 

water in all of Christchurch. 

Will artesian water need treating? 

(The Star, May 25). Will the city council 

be issuing all residents a filter at the 

boundary to our properties so that we do 

not have to have any chlorination? 

Water is vital to our lives and especially 

when we can turn our taps on and not 

smell chlorine. There are potential side 

effects of chlorine in our water, congenital 

abnormalities, bladder and rectal cancer, 

asthma symptoms, food allergies along 

with the smell and taste. 

People can also have skin issues 

showering or bathing which creates an 

ongoing issue of needing to go to the 

doctor for assessment and potential 

treating. Will the city council pay for this? 

D August-Jordan 

There are other, healthier means to treat 

our already pure water supply rather than

pouring chemicals into it. 

Ozone has been used for more than a 

century in Europe to treat water supplies. 

It’s also used in hospitals, food factories, 

care homes and it has been used in parts 

of New Zealand as well.

Taumata Arowai pushes chlorine as if it’s 

the only way to make sure our water is fit 

to drink.

Retirement Villages 

Security, freedom from home 

maintenance worries, support, 

companionship and on-site healthcare are 

just some of the reasons why you might be 

contemplating the move to a Retirement 

Village. But, the implications of buying in 

a Retirement Village are varied and often 

seem quite complex. It’s not the same as 

buying a residential property. The most 

important thing to remember is that this 

decision is about you and the type of 

lifestyle you want. Here are some things to 

keep in mind when you’re thinking about 

the move to Retirement Village living. 

The Lifestyle – what kind of lifestyle 

do you want? Think about the things that 

are “must haves” for you and pick a Village 

which enables you to achieve your goals. 

Look at different Villages and speak to 

the residents if possible, to ensure that the 

Village you pick ticks all your boxes. 

Your Future - does the Village have 

Hospital or Dementia level care? If your 

needs change, are you able to move within 

the Village to a different level of care? And 

what costs are involved? 

Ownership – there are different legal 

structures used in Retirement Villages 

with the most common being Licences to 

Occupy. These do not transfer ownership, 

as such, but rather, they confer a licence to 

occupy a certain unit at the Village until a 

given event. 

The Money – make sure you 

understand exactly what your purchase 

price or “Entry Payment” is paying for. 

What on-going fees are there? Will those 

fees change? If so, how will they change? 

On ending your Agreement, what money 

will be refunded to you? How is this 

calculated? What costs will be taken out of 

any refund and when will you receive it? 

The decision to move into a retirement 

village is not one you should rush. Take 

time and consider all your options. Make 

a checklist of the reasons for and against 

and involve your family and friends 

in your decision making process. It is 

also important to ensure you have the 

appropriate legal and financial advice. 

At Harmans we have a specialist 

seniors team experienced in dealing with 

purchasing in a Retirement Village. Give 

Phillipa Shaw a call on 03 379 7835 to 

arrange an appointment to discuss your 

situation.

Amazing health miracles 

from the silkworm 

Serrapeptase an enzyme produced in 

silkworms may become one of the most widely 

used natural health solutions for its ability to 

replace the majority of anti-inflammatory drugs 

and bypass operations. It is nature’s answer to 

pain, chronic inflammation and clogged arteries. 

Enzymes are essential for life. Constantly 

working to build and regenerate the body, they 

help digest food, break down toxins and cleanse 

the blood, in addition to thousands of other 

functions. A lack of enzymes in the body leads 

to food intolerances, allergies, digestive issues, 

disease and poor health. Studies show an average 

70-year-old has only 20 percent of the enzymes 

found in the body of a 20-year-old. 

Serrapeptase is a natural anti-inflammatory, 

which can clean, clear and reduce inflammation 

while dissolving non-living tissue including 

blood clots, cysts, arterial plaque and mucus. 

One of its major benefits is its ability to reduce 

pain. 

The serrapeptase enzyme was first found in 

the intestine of the silkworm in the late 1960s. 

The silkworm uses it to dissolve the hard 

cocoon, allowing the moth to escape as well as 

to digest the tough mulberry leaves it feeds on. 

Serrapeptase can now be produced commercially 

by fermentation of the microorganism Serriata 

E15. It is prescribed by doctors across Europe 

and Asia. 

Over the last 40 years, clinical studies 

have shown serrapeptase to have remarkable 

benefits in a vast range of health conditions

including blocked arteries, cardiovascular, 

arthritis, asthma, lung conditions, pain, tumors, 

autoimmune disease and many more. In 

Germany, Dr. Hans Nieper clinically researched 

serrapeptase and found it could clear blocked 

arteries and prevent the need for bypass 

operations. U.K. pharmacist Dennis Gore talked 

on BBC radio about the dramatic results he has 

had with serrapeptase. One case was a man in 

his 60s who had been a heavy smoker and was 

wheeled into his pharmacy. He was breathless 

due to emphysema and COPD and could hardly 

talk. He was on antibiotics, and oxygen and 

getting bad infections. Dennis prescribed him 

serrapeptase and three weeks later the man 

walked into his pharmacy, with no wheelchair 

and no breathlessness and said to Dennis he was 

no longer on antibiotics, nor oxygen cylinders 

and was feeling great. 

Serrapeptase has been shown to be a very safe 

supplement and according to researchers can be 

used with most medications. However, let your 

doctor know as medications may need to be 

reduced or stopped as the need for them reduces.

Foam insulated expanded polystyrene 

panels under the concrete slab act as an 

insulating barrier, stopping cold coming 

through from under the house. 

Garages 

Insulating the garage and its door will cut 

down on a steady stream of cold air sneaking 

into the house. An insulated garage door 

can lift the temperature substantially even 

when the garage itself is not heated, making 

it a more pleasant place to spend time. Any 

home appliances kept in the garage will use 

less electricity as they will not have to work 

as hard and your car battery may last longer. 

Roof design 

Roof designs vary. The simplest way to 

achieve a weather tight house is to have a 

simple roof design with an overhanging 

surfeit. Architectural flat roofs will work 

though more care is needed to achieve 

weather tightness especially where there 

are hidden or back roof gutters. Having a 

roof with no overhang also requires more 

care with the design due to its complexity 

and potential for problems. Regular 

maintenance to clean out leaves and 

debris that gets caught in the roof will be 

advantageous in both cases. 

Porticos 

Taking the roof out beyond the house is 

ideal for providing a sheltered area for 

spending time outdoors when the weather 

is inclement. 

throughout 

Snow straps 

Christchurch 

or guttering protection 

Wherever snow is a likely part of winter, 

installation of snow straps is a good idea. 

These prevent damage to guttering from 

M: the 021 weight 300 of 567 snow as E: it mike@starmedia.kiwi 

slides off the roof. 

Alternatively, an expanded steel mesh 

product such as Gutter Guard could 

be fitted. This has the added benefit of 

preventing spouting blockages from leaf 

and other debris. 

Capitalise on the sun 

Maximise the sun’s free energy with plenty 

of windows, especially on the north side of 

the house. 

Outdoor areas 

When choosing a house design, consider 

how it will sit on the section and whether it 

offers potential to catch sun inside the home 

and for sunny sheltered outdoor areas away 

from prevailing winds. 

Windows and doors 

Upgrade on the minimum standard for 

double glazing with thermally broken 

joinery and low-emissivity argon gas filled 

windows and doors, increasing insulation 

effectiveness.

A CURRY & A TIGER 

A match made in heaven 

A SPICY, deliciously aromatic curry 

suits anytime of the year, but is 

especially appealing on a wintery night. 

Get your curry x at Mickys Finn's - 

they have a curry master running the 

kitchen. 

Earlier this year Chef Noi took over 

Micky's Kitchen, adding an exciting 

dimension to the hearty Irish pub grub 

on offer. e menu now features an 

extensive selection of Irish, Kiwi and 

ai dishes - and Chef Noi's authentic 

ai dishes are impressive. Massaman 

Lamb Shank, Green Curry, Beef Cheek 

Curry, Spicy ai Sauce Salmon Fillet, 

Pad ai, are just a few choices from the 

menu. But he's just as adept rustling up 

an order of Irish Stew, Shepherd's Pie, 

Steak Eggs & Chips, a Chicken Burger, 

or Sticky Date Pudding. 

While the entire menu is very 

competitively priced, Micky's Kitchen is 

welcoming winter with a great value 

Curry + Tiger deal: Curry of the Day 

washed down with a refreshing 330ml 

Tiger Lager (Regular or Crystal) for 

only $18. A match made in heaven! 

is offer is available from 5-8pm 

Monday through to ursday. 

Tiger Lager and Tiger Crystal are 

beers born and brewed in the heat of 

Asia. Tiger's bold avours make it the 

ultimate refreshment to accompany any 

spicy dish, so it also matches perfectly 

with Micky Finn's famous Hot n Spicy 

Chicken Wings. For a limited time you 

can grab a Tiger and get half priced 

Wings. is offer is available daily from 

7pm. 

For over two decades, Micky Finn’s, 

located at 85a Hereford St, has been 

providing live entertainment to the 

people of Christchurch with premiere 

rock bands, an impressive selection of 

beer, wine and spirits, amazing food and
