‘You miss all the 

shots you don’t take’ 

WHEN THREE friends found 

out they’d been awarded the 

same full-fee scholarship to 

study at university, they called 

everyone they knew to share the 

news. 

Now they’re heading back 

to their old school to tell other 

students why they should apply 

for Canterbury University Te 

Kakau a Māui scholarships. 

Caoimhe Hungerford, Leonie 

Jansen van Rensburg and 

Izzy Froom, all 18, went from 

Haeata Community Campus to 

study at UC. 

Moving from a familiar 

school to the busy Ilam campus 

has been a big step, but they’ve 

had support from each other 

and from the Te Kakau a Māui 

scholarship programme, which 

UC created to boost equity and 

mark its 150th anniversary year. 

The trio have been close 

friends for the past three years 

and were thrilled to find out last 

year their scholarship applications 

had been successful. 

Froom, now studying towards 

a Bachelor of Teaching and 

Learning (primary) was the 

first to get the news, texting her 

friends: “Girls, it’s happened! 

Check your emails.” 

Hungerford, who is a firstyear 

Bachelor of Digital Screen 

with Honours student, said 

they’d been worried that one of 

them might miss out, so it was

fantastic to discover they’d all 

been accepted. 

The scholarship has meant 

she only has two part-time jobs, 

including teaching dance to 

children – without the scholarship, 

she would have needed to 

work more. 

“My mum is on her own as a 

solo parent. Having the scholarship 

means it’s much less stress 

on my family,” Hungerford said. 

“I really enjoy making and 

editing videos, but I’m not sure 

yet specifically what I want to 

do when I finish my degree.” 

Froom, Jansen van Rensburg 

and Hungerford are excited 

about returning to Haeata this 

week, on a UC-organised visit 

to talk to senior students and 

encourage them to apply. 

“It’s cool because we can 

show people that there are other 

opportunities out there,” 

Hungerford said. 

“I want to let them know 

that it’s like that saying: ‘You 

miss all the shots that you don’t 

take’.” 

Jansen van Rensburg , a 

keen netball player who is 

studying towards a Bachelor 

of Sport Coaching, said 

students considering applying 

shouldn’t be put off by doubts 

about their academic ability 

(although University Entrance 

is required). •Turn to page 3

Big drop 

in graffiti 

across 

the city 

THE AMOUNT of graffiti being 

removed from structures across 

the city has dropped significantly. 

From March to May, city 

council contractors removed 

15,000m 2 of graffiti, compared to 

the same period last year when 

21,000m 2 had to be cleaned off. 

City council graffiti team 

leader Kerryn Findlater said the 

reduction may 

be due to several 

factors, including 

a collaborative 

approach to 

preventing graffiti, 

the increasing 

presence of street 

art in the city and 

a new volunteering 

programme. 

“We have introduced the idea of 

micro-volunteering, which gives 

those who are reporting a chance 

to be rewarded each month. 

“It was developed after we 

noticed that more than 60 per 

cent of all graffiti reports came in 

via our existing network of 150 

volunteers; we wanted to increase 

that activity and involve more of 

our citizens.” 

Findlater said by joining the 

friend of the graffiti programme, 

people become “micro-volunteers” 

and can get monthly insights and 

previews of new street art and go 

into a draw to win a supermarket 

voucher.

Going graffiti free 

a community effort 

PHOTO: NEWSLINE 

•From page 1 

“We not only want to 

encourage people to help keep 

our city graffiti-free, but we also 

want to thank them. Without 

people taking notice and taking 

action we would not be able to be 

as effective or as efficient. It truly 

is a team effort,” Findlater said. 

The graffiti team has also 

completed recent beautification 

projects as part of its ‘What’s 

Cool About Your School’ 

initiative. 

Findlater said the project offers 

the chance for schools to ‘adopt’ 

a cabinet and showcase their 

schools with a mural on it to 

increase pride and ownership in 

their community. 

They have also begun working 

with Restorative Justice Services 

on some community art and 

mentoring projects. 

“We have already had a couple 

of inquiries from parents who 

want their young people to have 

other avenues to explore other 

than tagging. 

“We are always open to new 

ideas so if you want to have chat 

about creating a mural, removing 

graffiti, project ideas or to attend 

an event, please contact the 

team. Together, we can make a 

difference.” 

Scholarship a step towards ‘dream job’ 

•From page 1 

“If people think they’re not 

smart enough or not doing well 

enough at school, just make sure 

you apply because it’s not about 

that. You’ll lose nothing by going 

for it.” 

Jansen van Rensburg said the 

scholarship recognises potential 

to make a difference and lead 

change and she and her friends 

were involved in leadership roles, 

mentoring, and working in their 

communities during high school. 

“We’re all pretty wellrounded.” 

Hungerford said she likes the 

open-minded approach of the 

scholarship. 

“I think it focuses not so much 

on what you have done, but 

what you would do with this 

opportunity.” 

Te Kakau a Māui scholars 

– 164 students this year – are 

offered career advice, one-to-one 

mentoring from a UC graduate, 

and help from UC student 

success coach Angus Howat. 

Froom, who aims to become 

a primary school teacher, said 

it’s great the scholars have 

dedicated access to Howat who 

always makes time and offers 

encouragement. 

“You can just say, ‘Hey, can 

we catch up?’ It’s pretty cool 

that you have that backup and 

someone there to chat to.” 

She has always wanted to 

work with children and teaching 

is her dream job. She said the 

scholarship has helped her 

settle into university and make 

friends because Te Kakau a Māui 

scholars are placed into social 

hubs called homebases. 

UC acting executive dean of 

education Professor Misty Sato 

said the scholarships can change 

lives. 

“The programme is unique 

because we are offering 

mentoring, support and careercoaching 

to our successful 

scholars, in addition to covering 

tuition fees for a degree.” 

It is also innovative, she said, 

because it’s encouraging a 

wider group of students to see 

university as a pathway towards 

their goals. 

“We’re looking beyond 

traditional academic performance 

to find students with a more 

holistic range of skills. We’re 

inviting applications from young 

people around the South Island 

who want to make a difference, 

and we want to empower them to 

achieve their goals.” 

• Applications open on 

June 20 for another 150 Te 

Kakau a Māui scholarship 

places next year for eligible 

students from South Island 

high schools previously 

classed decile 1 to 7 (now 

covered by the equity 

index).

Model yacht club sail-ebrating 

One of world’s oldest 

model yacht clubs 

celebrates its 125th 

anniversary this 

weekend. Nick Tolerton 

reports 

THE CHRISTCHURCH Model 

Yacht Club, part of the Hagley 

Park scene for 125 years, has 

battled plenty of obstacles to stay 

afloat. 

Issues with water weed, 

competition from Canada geese, 

and especially the February 22, 

2011, earthquake, which drained 

Lake Victoria like bathwater 

going down a plughole, are 

among the difficulties the club 

has overcome. 

However, at 125 the club will 

have much to celebrate at its 

jubilee on Saturday. With nearly 

100 sailors, the membership 

is the highest it has ever been 

since a group of enthusiasts 

established the club during a 

meeting at Warner’s Hotel on 

June 17, 1898. 

It is the second oldest model 

yacht club in the world, after 

a London club in Kensington 

Gardens, founded in 1876. 

It’s a small miracle, though, 

that the Christchurch club 

got on its feet again after the 

earthquake. The big shake 

ruptured an unknown tile 

drain under the lake bed, the

champion, has been the skipper to beat at Lake Victoria 

for several years.

water disappeared, and the lake 

became a wilderness of mud, 

puddles, weed, and rubbish. 

Mayor Phil Mauger gets the 

credit for putting it on its feet 

again – and can probably be sure 

of votes from club members. The 

contracting firm he had at the 

time was engaged to re-establish 

the lake, which had to be reexcavated, 

lined with bentonite 

clay half a metre thick, topped 

with a coating of ground glass, 

and to repair the wells which 

supplied its water. 

Before the quake, the club’s 

big issue for many decades had 

been weed, which sometimes 

grew so thickly it made the lake 

unusable. 

The weed returned after the 

quake, along with some algae 

in mid-summer, but in about 

2015 the lake stabilised and it no 

longer even requires spraying for 

weed. 

As for the Canada geese 

(and ducks and ducklings), the 

yachties have to compromise and 

share the lake. A flock of geese 

taking off when winds are light 

literally takes the wind out of 

their sails. 

The biggest change in the 

club’s history came in the 1960s 

with the introduction of radiocontrolled 

yachts, allowing the 

operator to steer the yacht and 

adjust the mainsail and jib, 

which are on the same winch. 

Previously skippers used vane 

steering, which meant frantic 

sprints around the lake to reset 

the sails and vane when the yacht 

reached the opposite shore. 

Many of the club’s members 

have been among Canterbury’s 

top yachties in a variety of 

‘proper’ sailing classes. 

The late Graham Mander, a 

Canterbury sailing great and 

winner of more than a dozen 

New Zealand titles in classes 

including the P class, R class, X 

class, and trailer yachts, adapted 

with ease to the challenge of the 

radio-controlled boats and was

big milestone 

SUCCESS STORY: Some of the J class skippers line up. The class was 

developed at the Christchurch club and is now raced around the world. 

Graham Luxon, the 

father of National Party 

leader Chris Luxon, wellknown 

photographer 

Euan Sarginson, and 

Steve Mander, son of 

Olympic sailing champion 

Peter Mander, are also 

members. 

While the club has 

many ancient mariners, 

women have also made 

an impact. Sue Bowie was 

the first female member 

as a 13-year-old in the 

1970s and finished third 

in a national junior 

championship. Thysje 

Arthur has had a long 

involvement, and the 

question of who cooked 

dinner that night was 

resolved on race days 

when she and husband 

Tom crossed tacks. 

Anzan Zhang, who 

raced big boats in China, 

spotted the model yachts 

while walking in Hagley 

Park, was offered the 

chance to sail one, and is 

now a keen member. 

A wide variety of classes 

have been sailed at the 

club, but there is special 

affection for the J class, 

which is now raced in 

other centres and even 

at some overseas clubs. 

Designed by Dave Heanly 

based on the lines of the 

famous America’s Cup 

yacht, Ranger, it has a long 

sweeping keel that enables 

it to glide through the 

weed which fouled yachts 

with deeper keels. Very 

handily, it also fits fully 

rigged in the back of a car. 

So far, at least, 365 J 

class have been built, 

fibreglass hulls from the 

same mould, and one 

club member, Graeme 

Raxworthy, has built or 

restored more than 40 J 

class. 

At one time in the 1960s, 

participant numbers at the 

club dropped to only six or 

seven boats, and the club 

looked set to go the same 

way as penny farthing 

cycle racing which used 

to be held around Lake 

Victoria when it was just 

a swamp. How things 

have changed – now the 

club, which runs races 

on Wednesdays and 

Saturdays, looks set to 

flourish for many years 

yet – a unique sports 

institution in the heart of 

the city.

A WEEK OF 

SUCCESS & 

GRADUATIONS 

Steve and I recently had a week jammed 

packed of proud parent moments. Two 

sons graduation within days of each 

other, one in Palmerston North and one 

in Houston. Many air miles racked up in 

five days. You can’t imagine when your 

boys are at school that someday they 

step off the podium holding a cherished 

degree, a decorated piece of paper, that 

has taken years of grind, passion and self 

motivation to achieve. Makes you feel 

super proud for sure, but also reminded 

me that they are adult men, ready to set 

out and conquer the world with passion, 

integrity, hope and kindness. 

Our two sons played tennis, nationally 

and internationally all through school, 

starting at age five. They both won many 

age group National competitions and 

both represented NZL in Junior Davis 

Cup. Early on, Steve and I knew they 

would start their university education 

in the United States (despite living 

across from Canterbury University), 

gaining a tennis scholarship to a school 

of their choice. Connor started at 

the University of California Berkeley, 

doing an undergraduate degree in 

Sciences. Dylan went to the University of 

Minnesota in Minneapolis and pursued 

an undergraduate degree in finance and 

supply chain management. Both sons 

finished their degrees in different places. 

Connor graduated first with a Batchelor 

of Veterinarian Science from Massey 

University. We couldn’t be prouder 

or happier than a son has chosen a 

career that has given Steve and I so 

much purpose, enjoyment and exciting 

Connor graduating in Veterinary Science. 

challenges. Connor has chosen the 

path of Internship, gaining a sought 

after place at VSA Surgical Specialists 

in Auckland, as his first job. This is a 

perfect fit for Connor who has a thirst for 

learning and knowledge and may want 

to pursue the surgical specialist route. 

Eventually oneway his home will be 

McMaster & Heap though. 

Dylan graduated with a Batchelor of 

Arts, majoring in Economics, from 

Rice University in Houston. Another 

choked up moment when “ Dylan 

Oliver McMaster Heap “ was called out 

amongst the 800 students graduating. 

Rice is a top 15 American College, 

so gaining a degree from Rice and 

playing on the tennis team is a huge 

achievement, requiring perseverance, 

full commitment and great work ethic. 

Dylan is now moving to Elon University 

in North Carolina to do a Masters in 

Business Analytics and finish his final 

year playing tennis. The world awaits 

Dylan. 

Not my usual patient case study article 

but I wanted to share a little of my 

family. I have been writing articles for 24 

years now. When we bought McMaster 

& Heap Vets in 1999, Connor was two 

years old, Dylan and Isaac not born yet. 

Our boys have grown up with parents 

devoted to helping people and their 

pets and the business is a part of who 

they all are. They are all very proud of 

the work Steve and I do - you never 

know, they all may play a part in the 

MMH family business oneway.

Ground moisture barrier 

under low sub-floor 

Now with the colder and wetter weather on 

its way, home owners are focusing on ways 

to make their homes comfortable, warm 

and healthy for their families throughout 

winter. Rising damp is an issue that affects 

many of our older properties which suffer 

from poor, or no, ground moisture barrier. 

In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many 

people have relocated to homes that suffer 

from rising damp which can be associated 

with health problems. Independent tests have 

shown that up to 40 litres of water can rise 

from the ground and enter a house every day, 

leading to mildew, mould, condensation and 

musty smells. Moulds can produce various 

allergic reactions and the frail, elderly and 

very young are especially vulnerable. 

Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a 

locally owned and operated firm. The team 

understands the problems caused by rising 

damp and are there to help. They will come 

to your damp home and pump a lightweight, 

flowable foam concrete under your timber 

floored home. 

While insulation is important, it has been 

recognised that it is dampness that is the real 

villain in the house. The new Healthy Homes 

Standards introduced by the government 

effective from the 1st July 2019 now has 

a requirement to install ground moisture 

barriers, a key element in the armory to fight 

moisture in the home. 

Dr Larry Bellamy BE (hons) PhD in a 

report dated 1988: Foam Concrete Under 

Timber Floors: An Energy Analysis assessed 

the effects of placing Foam Concrete over 

damp soil and had this to say: Condensation 

on the underside of a timber floor can occur 

where the floor is suspended over damp 

ground and the inside air temperature falls 

close to the crawl space air temperature. 

Much energy is required to vaporize moisture 

that penetrates the structure. By avoiding 

underfloor condensation, foam concrete can 

reduce floor heat losses by up to 90%. 

• Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd can in most 

cases, install a Ground Moisture Barrier 

under the suspended wooden floor of your 

home, even when there is no crawl space. 

• BRANZ Appraised; Appraisal Number 961 

• Members of the Insulation Association of 

New Zealand. 

• We offer a free measure and quote in the 

Canterbury region with no obligations. 

• Assessments can be made in all other 

regions by arrangement.

now for your free, no obligation quote and

ground moisture barrier needs.

Keep cosy with 

RD Petroleum 

this winter 

RD Petroleum (RDP) is a familiar sight 

for farm and rural residents around the 

Canterbury region, however now days urban 

residents also enjoy the same excellent 

customer service for which RDP is known for 

in rural communities, through their home 

heating diesel. 

RDP began its home heating diesel delivery 

service to the lower South Island’s main urban 

centres of Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin 

and Invercargill a number of years ago. 

Customer demand has continued to increase 

year upon year, and RDP has responded 

with specialised improvements to its delivery 

equipment. 

The trucks that deliver RDP’s home heating 

diesel in each urban centre are drawn from 

the company’s extensive vehicle fleet. This 

means they have the latest communication 

and GPS tracking technology on board, so 

the operations team always know where they 

are and how far away they are from their next 

delivery stop. 

RDP’s home heating diesel trucks come 

equipped with a specially-designed hose, 

through which the diesel is pumped from 

the truck into house tanks. The length of 

the hose allows the trucks to access tanks 

without having to enter the property, avoiding 

damaging the driveway. RDP is the place to 

go if you require diesel conveniently delivered 

to your home and as a loyal RDP customer 

you’re offered discounted pricing and can 

become eligible for value-added benefits. 

For all enquiries please phone 

0800 44 00 14, or visit the RDP website at

Mercedes EQE breathtakingly quick 

• By Bob Nettleton 

IN THE last three years 

Mercedes Benz has amped up its 

quest to become a luxury electric 

vehicle game changer, with its 

efforts being spearheaded by the 

EQ range. 

Among them is the futuristically 

styled and breathtakingly 

quick EQE AMG, one of the 

hottest-ever Mercedes Benz sedans 

priced at a cool $220,000. 

Just months after the launch of 

the large luxury EQS, the EQE is 

the next model series to be based 

on architecture Mercedes Benz 

developed specifically for its 

electric models. 

Riding on a slightly shorter 

wheelbase than the EQS, with 

shorter overhangs and more 

recessed flanks, the EQE remains 

a substantial high-end luxury 

sedan. Interior space exceeds 

the comparable ICE (Internal 

Combustion Engine) Mercedes- 

Benz E-Class, including interior 

length (+ 80mm) and front 

shoulder room (+ 27mm). The 

EQE comfortably accommodates 

up to five people even on longer 

journeys. 

It brings sharp styling and attitude, 

along with a level of standard 

equipment and refinement to 

what is regarded as an all-electric 

alternative to the legendary 

Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan. 

A three-model range is offered 

here and put its best foot 

forward with the entry level 

and attractively priced $132,100 

EQE. After more power and 

technology? That is offered in 

abundance in the $145,000n 350 

version featuring Mercedes Benz 

4MATIC AWD system. Then 

there’s the X-factor $200k plus 

AMG 53 4MATIC. All EQE’s are 

covered by a five-year unlimited 

kilometre warranty and 10 years 

or up to 250,000km, whatever 

comes first. 

The EQE 53 4MATIC+ dual 

electric motors generate an epic 

460 kW of power and a staggering 

950 Nm of torque. Their 

combined might hurtles the car 

0 to 100 km/h in a mind bending 

3.5 seconds – all with a handy 

maximum real world all-electric 

driving range of 500km. This is 

around 90km less electric range 

than the other two versions. 

The fit and finish of the generously 

proportioned passenger 

compartment is outstanding, 

along with a driving position 

that’s close to perfection. Both 

front seats are heated and electrically 

adjustable, while a panoramic 

sliding sunroof lighten 

ups your world and senses at the 

touch of a button. 

On board is the latest generation 

of the MBUX multimedia 

system, including MBUX 

Navigation. A large centrally 

mounted LED screen includes a 

fingerprint scanner to activate 

driver profiles. It’s hard not to 

be impressed by the quality 

surround sound system, smartphone 

integration for Apple and 

Android devices. 

A smart Driving Assistance 

Package includes Active Distance 

Assist, Active Brake Assist 

with cross-traffic function, Active 

Lane Change Assist, Active 

Blind Spot Assist, Active Lane, 

all making for one highly active 

vehicle. 

AIRMATIC air suspension 

enhanced the test vehicles ride 

and all round poise. Rear-axle 

steering shortens the turning circle 

during cornering and parking, 

and delivers better steering 

response. Comfort for a serious 

high performance sedan is excellent, 

and free of the sometimes 

abrasive low-speed ride associated 

with this type of model. 

Handling is right out of the 

top draw thanks to a superbly 

designed, engineered and tuned 

suspension providing prodigious 

levels of grip. In fact I felt at 

times the test vehicle was ‘super 

glued’ to the road surface. With 

the lithium-ion battery forming 

part of the vehicles floor you 

have the ideal low centre of gravity. 

This further improves what’s 

an already incredibly well balanced 

and agile full size luxury 

sedan.

KHUZWANE HOLDER

What made you want to jump into real estate? 

From my previous roles I really enjoy being a 

trusted source of information and support for 

people as they go about their purchase decisions, 

and what better industry to do that in than Real 

Estate 

Winter is here, do you have a favourite winter 

activity or place to visit? 

The whole Otago region is beautiful this time of 

year as is the West Coast but I'm most happy 

anywhere I can enjoy a nice walk during the day 

and a roaring fireplace at night. 

What was most memorable when you purchased 

your first home? 

That feeling of getting the keys and knowing that 

I was taking my first steps on a path to enjoy a life 

I had only imagined for a long time. 

What is your favourite Eatery in Christchurch/ 

Banks Peninsula? 

Portershed Cafe and Grater Goods Restaurant 

are my top two and of course my local Little 

River Cafe! 

If you had to choose an alternative career path, 

what would it be? 

Supercar test driver :D 

Who do you idolise and why? 

NBA Superstar Lebron James, his whole life story 

and professional career till now I think will be 

looked back on in history as one of the greatest 

examples of sporting and general life 

achievement. 

You're left alone on a resort island, you can 

take one book, one movie and one album, 

what are you taking? 

Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari , James Camerons 

Avatar and Fat Freddys Drop - Based on a True 

Story 

And finally, what is your greatest achievement 

to date? 

Not sure about a specific achievement but Im 

proud that I challenge myself to try new things 

and get out of my comfort zone as much as 

possible and for me that is an achievement I can
