48-hr treadmill grind
an amazing feat
• By Raquel Joseph
HOW FAR can you run on a
treadmill?
Five kilometres, 10 km, 20km or
at a stretch maybe 50km?
Spare a thought then for Emma
Timmis who has just broken
the Guinness World Record for
the greatest distance run on a
treadmill in 48 hours.
The distance to beat was
322.93km, set by Sweden’s Kristina
Paltén in 2014.
But Timmis smashed the record
by almost 20km, clocking up
340.36km in 48 hours – an average
of just over 7km/h.
Timmis said the challenge,
which began Friday morning at
Koha Fitness in the central city
and finished Sunday morning,
went as she had hoped.
She remembers breaking the
record in “anticlimactic” fashion
with about three hours to go.
“It was all a bit of a blur . . . It
was quite anticlimactic because I
knew that I had to do more to be
able to push the record further,
and I was so exhausted by then.”
Running through the evenings
was the hardest, most mentally
challenging time, she said.
To push through, Timmis set
herself constant goals of time or
distance.

Dickason
killed her
children
‘out of love’
defence
alleges
• By Anna Leask
LAUREN DICKASON killed
her three children “out of love”
after deciding to take her own life
and not wanting to leave the little
girls “to live without a mum”,
her lawyer has told a jury at her
murder trial.
The defence
has revealed
Dickason will
not take the
stand herself at
the trial in the
High Court at
Christchurch
– but a number
of experts, her
mother and
Lauren
Dickason
another family member will give
evidence that she was “severely”
unwell and suffering from ongoing
postpartum depression when
she smothered her three daughters
to death in September 2021.
“Lauren was in such a dark
place, so removed from reality, so
suicidal, disordered, that when
she decided to kill herself she
thought that she had to take the
girls with her,” defence lawyer
Anne Toohey told the jury
yesterday.

KIWIS ARE spending more
on their credit cards to keep up
with the rising cost of living,
prompting a warning from a
financial expert who says it
won’t be sustainable in the long

The outstanding balance on
personal credit card debt has
risen from $5.495 billion in May
2022 to $5.63b in May this year,
Reserve Bank figures show.

A new
frontier in
rubbish
trucking
• By John Spurdle
A NEW rubbish truck doing
the rounds is going places no
rubbish truck has ever gone
before.
Waste Management NZ
operator trainer Jason Segal said
the truck is ideally suited to go
places the larger trucks can’t.
“We’ll utilise these in areas
such as rest homes with narrow
pathways.
“The hillier parts of Cashmere
are a prime example of where
we have a lot of private lanes,
a lot of areas that we can’t get
larger vehicles, especially those
steep narrow streets,” he said.
The low-emission diesel
truck is the first in Waste
Management NZ’s Christchurch
during the pandemic as people
paid down their debt as they
couldn’t spend money as easily
during lockdown periods.
But since September
outstanding balances have
risen each month for the same
comparable month the year
before.
Personal finance lead at
Sorted, Tom Hartmann, said
Kiwis appear to be using credit
debt to handle cost of living
fleet to have two separate
chambers.
It means workers can
separately collect rubbish,
recycling or organics at the
same time, without crosscontamination.
To ensure crosscontamination
isn’t an issue,
Segal said the trucks are cleaned
at the end of each day, and
washed out before a different
waste stream is introduced.

Cost of living pushes up credit card debt
pressures, based on data from
credit bureau Centrix.
Centrix showed credit
payments rose to 426,000 in
June, up 15,000 month on
month with a sharp increase
in the number of unsecured
loans falling into arrears last
month.
Said Hartmann: “If you are
getting by on a credit card, you
want it to be the lowest-interest
credit card on the market.

In Brief
Earthquake appeal
trust to end
A trust set up to distribute
almost $100 million in
donations made in the
aftermath of the earthquakes
is being wound up. The
Christchurch Earthquake
Appeal Trust has distributed
about $106m, made up of
$92m of donations and
interest earned on the money.
Fundraising stopped several
years ago and all monies
have been distributed, the
Department of Internal Affairs
said. The city council received
about $21m for a number of
different projects, including
footbridges across the Avon,
the Edmonds Band Rotunda,
the Heathcote Community
Centre and water attractions in
the eastern suburbs.
Innovative project
focuses on solar farm
A new way of farming could
find its home on the banks of
the Rakaia River. North Rakaia
Ltd wants to put a solar farm
and agricultural innovation
campus called Kilvarock
Solar Village on 124 hectares
of land on North Rakaia and
South Two Chain Rds. It was
originally proposed to have 900
residential units, 200 of which
would be contained in 33 threestorey
apartment buildings,
plus educational facilities, a
supermarket, and agriculture
production for animals and
plants, all powered by an
on-site solar farm. Project
manager James Lunday said the
company has now parked the
housing to focus on the solar
farm and innovation hub.

‘She decided to kill herself and felt
• From page 1
“Lauren felt inadequate as a
mother, she found it hard to cope.
This was spontaneous. Lauren
was in a dark place.
“She believed life was no longer
worth living – for either her or
her children.
“She decided to kill herself and
she felt that they were all better
off dead.”
Dickason, 42, is on trial
charged with murdering her
daughters Liane – who was a
week off her 7th birthday – and
twins Maya and Karla, 2.
The sisters were found dead in
their beds in their Timaru home
by their father Graham Dickason
when he returned from a work
function.
The family had only been in
New Zealand for a matter of
weeks after emigrating from
South Africa.
Dickason admits smothering
the children to death, but has
pleaded not guilty to the murder
charges by reason of insanity or
infanticide.
While the Crown acknowledges
Dickason suffered from
sometimes-serious depression, it
maintains she knew what she was
doing when she killed the girls.
Toohey said there was no dispute
Dickason killed the children
and then tried – using multiple
methods – to take her own life.
QUESTIONING: Murder accused Lauren Dickason during her police interview.
PHOTO: NZ HERALD
“Her intention was to go to
bed and to never wake up,” said
Toohey.
“The question is why she did
that. All three defence experts
say her mind was disturbed
by reason of her postpartum
depression arising from
childbirth.
“All of the defence experts
agree that there was an altruistic
motive. That means that Lauren
killed her children out of love.
“In her mind, she was killing
them out of love – she was killing
herself and she didn’t want to
leave the children . . . she was so
sure this was the right thing to do
she persisted.”
In the weeks after the
alleged murders Dickason told
psychiatric specialists she still
felt it was best her children
were dead, such was her bleak
and hopeless outlook – which
Toohey said was the result of her
significant mental disturbance.
Toohey said Dickason was
“severely” unwell – and had been
effectively spiralling into a deep
depression with suicidal thoughts
for months.
“This is about postpartum depression
and a mother who killed
her children,” she said.
“She did not want to leave her
children without a mum. She
also did not want her children
to suffer from having such a bad
mother.
“This was an impulsive decision
– she did not plan it.”
Toohey said Dickason was
“a highly intelligent, capable
person”, a doctor by profession
whose “entire vocation in life is
geared toward saving lives”.
“Why did she kill her three
beautiful girls, who she fought for
years to get through brutal IVF
treatments – her girls who she
loved and protected?
“The answer is that Lauren was
severely mentally unwell on that
night – there is no question about
that.”
Toohey said Dickason was
diagnosed with postpartum depression
“that’s continued since
the birth of her children” and
“that never went away”.
But from July 2021 there was
“a steep decline” in Dickason’s
mental health.
There was major unrest in
South Africa and Dickason was
“terrified” of riots, looting near
the family home and “daily violent
crime”.
On top of that, Toohey said
Dickason had “huge stress with
covid lockdowns, three small
children at home and trying
to navigate the immigration
process”.

they were all better off dead’
KILLED: Twins Karla and Maya Dickason and Liané Dickason (centre).
“She began to think that she
was failing as a mother, and all
of that happened at a time when
she had stopped taking that
antidepressant medication,” she
told the jury.
After she had thoughts of
wanting to hurt the girls in
August 2021 – which she told her
husband about – she started taking
the medication again.
But Toohey said the pills “take
time to build up” and were “not
like a Panadol for a headache”.
“As it turned out six weeks was
not enough time,” she said.
In the weeks leading up to the
family moving to New Zealand
Toohey said Dickason’s family
and husband were “all desperately
worried” about her.
“She stopped eating, she wasn’t
sleeping much. She lost interest
and pleasure in everything,” said
Toohey.
“She told police that it was
taking her ages to do simple
tasks – these are all symptoms of
depression.
“During that week in Timaru,
everything looked bleak to
Lauren. There was a power cut
just like there had been in South
Africa. She thought the children
at Liane’s school looked sad and
unkempt – and of course, they
weren’t, they were just normal
little children having fun.
Toohey said it was crucial
for the jury to “listen for the
evidence about what Lauren said
actually happened that week and
what she experienced.”
In the two days before the
alleged murders the family’s
immigration adviser was seeking
further details about Dickason’s
mental health as well as additional
information about the cleft
lip Karla was born with that had
been corrected by surgery when
she was just months old.
Hours before she killed the
children, Dickason and her husband
took them to the park.
While there some teenage girls
told her that a man had been
there taking photos of them.
Toohey said those two things
triggered Dickason’s fatal actions.
“At this stage, Lauren was so
unwell she thought New Zealand
was not safe and her application
for a visa was hopeless,” she said.
“By the time these two things
happened Lauren was so deep
into her depression, removed
from reality, that she decided to
die and take her daughters with
her.”
Toohey said the jury would
also hear evidence about Dickason’s
police interview which the
defence says was inappropriate.
She said the woman was “literally
disconnected from a drip
and taken to the police station”.
“The on-call psychiatrist considered
there was no acute need,
despite the fact that she had just
killed her three children and
tried to commit suicide,” said
Toohey.
The defence says police “got
their confession” during the
interview, knowing Dickason
was likely under the influence
of drugs, “in acute shock and in
clear mental distress”.
“If you find that Lauren’s mind
was disturbed at the time this
happened due to postpartum
depression – then this is not
murder it’s infanticide, Toohey
told the jury.
“And if she didn’t know what
she was doing was morally
wrong that night then she is not
guilty of murder or infanticide;
that is insanity.”

‘I wanted to test myself’
• From page 1
“At the beginning when I was
feeling good, I was setting myself
goals of 10km, then 20km . . .
then when it was getting tough it
was breaking it down to the next
10 minutes, get through the next
kilometre, get through the next
100m.”
She was allowed a two-anda-half
hour break to sleep, but
could not manage to drift off.
“Even just having a lie down
was good, I felt refreshed when I
got up again.”
She was pleased to make it
through the 48 hours without
major injury or strain, aside
from some bad blistering on her
toes.
Timmis said she set herself
the treadmill challenge to test
her mental limits, and that was
exactly what it did.
“I wanted to test myself
mentally . . . to see how far I
could push myself . . . and it most
definitely was the biggest mental
challenge I’ve ever taken on in
my life.”
Once verified by officials, 48
hours on a treadmill will be
Timmis’ third Guinness World
Record.
After the successful challenge,
Timmis, who hails from Derby
in England, but now lives in
Reefton, has set her sights
on her next ambitious goal –
breaking the world record for
the greatest distance run covered
on a treadmill in one week. The
current record is 833.05km, set
by United Kingdom’s Sharon
Gayter in 2011.

A PRESCHOOL teacher hit
a child on the head with her
knuckles after he refused to
share a toy in what has been
described as an “extremely
serious and concerning
incident”.
The Teachers’ Disciplinary
Tribunal found Nora Fa’amelea
Lepaila guilty of serious
misconduct and censured her.
Lepaila admitted she hit a
3-year-old on the head with her
knuckles after he repeatedly
refused to share a toy while the
children were playing outside
in August 2020. Lepaila was
working at Tino e Tasi Preschool
in Aranui.
She held the boy’s hand and
walked him inside. Once inside
she hit him on the head with her
knuckles.
The tribunal determined
Lepaila be censured, have an
annotation attached to her name
on the teacher’s register for two
years and complete a course in
managing child behaviour.
“The hit made a knocking
noise that was heard by Teacher
A, who did not see the incident
but was also in the Lupe room,”
the report said.
The child was visibly upset
and on the verge of tears. He told
another teacher Lepaila hit him.
Lepaila, a registered teacher,
did not defend the charges. She
told the tribunal it was a “brief
and isolated incident” and she
was aware it was misconduct.
The tribunal was told in
Lepaila’s 10 years of working as
an early childhood teacher, she
had never behaved in this way or
been the subject of disciplinary
investigation.
Lepaila said she was passionate
about teaching and felt
privileged to help guide the next
generation. She said she had
already enrolled in an online
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Teacher censured for hitting child
course to help her learn
ways to deal with difficult
behaviour.
The tribunal found it was
done as a form of punishment
and pointed to the fact the”force
used” was enough for another
teacher to hear a knocking
sound.
The tribunal noted it has
commented many times that
the use of force for corrective
purposes will generally amount
to serious misconduct.
It described the case as

“an extremely serious and
concerning incident”.
“It is never acceptable
to hit a child, and teachers
must find a way to deal
with stressors, and/or
challenging behaviours, which
does not in any way involve
force. The respondent is required
to find strategies in situations
like those which occurred in this
case, and never resort to lashing
out as a solution,” the ruling

Rules for
Airbnb
operators
NEW RULES for how Airbnb
accommodation can operate in
the city have been released.
The new rules came into place
on Monday following the release
of a city council District Plan
change, aimed at managing the
impacts of the increasing number
of properties available on Airbnb.
It comes after Airbnb lodged an
appeal to the Environment Court
following public consultation on
the plan change, which sets rules
on accommodation in different
zones of the city.
Under the new rules, released
by the Environment Court,
hosted visitor accommodation for
up to eight guests will generally
be a permitted activity in most
residential and rural zones. This
means property owners who live
on site and rent out rooms will
not need resource consent, provided
they don’t have more than
eight guests per booking.
But they are required to notify
the city council and keep a record
of the number of nights they
rent rooms out for. In residential
zones, houses or units where the
owner does not live on site can be
rented out for a maximum of 60
nights per year without needing a
resource consent.

identical in almost every detail, so
Don and Steve Subritzky’s loan aircraft
will help the museum speed up its
restoration work. The NZ102 is the
most complete Vildebeest airframe in
existence.
Said museum collections manager
Darren Hammon: “Imagine a
10,000-piece jigsaw puzzle with no plans,
and not much of a cover photo either.
“That’s what we have been dealing with
and, while we’ve made good progress,
having the Vincent to compare is a boost
for the team.

the Vildebeest reunited
“We can’t thank the Subritzky
family enough for this. They’ve
made astonishing progress on
the Vincent, and we are hoping
we can learn a lot from what has
been done.”
The Vildebeest has been in the
museum’s collection for more
than 20 years, along with minor
components from other similar
planes.
The restoration team has been
searching the world for drawings
and reference material about the
plane and has gathered as much
information as possible.
While air publication guides
provide an overview of the plane,
no detailed engineering drawings
remain, leaving the team with
little information to complete the
work.
The Vildebeest first entered
service with the Royal Air Force
in 1932 and the Vincent in 1934.
The aircraft share the same
engine – a Bristol Pegasus.
The main difference is the
Vildebeest’s torpedo bay was
replaced in the Vincent with an
auxiliary fuel tank.
The museum’s NZ102 was
one of 12 brand-new Vildebeest
torpedo bombers given to the
Royal New Zealand Air Force in
1935.
Another 27 ex-RAF aircraft
were given to the RNZAF in
TAKE OFF: The Vildebeest NZ102.
PHOTO: MAX SMITH PERSONAL COLLECTION
1940-41, making a total of 39. The
RNZAF operated 62 Vincents
alongside the Vildebeests.
The NZ102 has a fascinating
service history. On May 2, 1938, a
young Nelson-born pilot named
Leonard Trent took the controls
of NZ102 during his training.
Trent flew in the plane as a pilot
or passenger 13 times.
He went on to serve with
distinction in World War 2 as a
senior Royal Air Force officer. He
was awarded the Victoria Cross
in 1945.
On February 23, 1939, a young
trainee pilot named David ‘Sealy’
Clark was ordered to fly solo in
NZ102 and climbed to 15,000 feet
for 30 minutes. On descending,
he forgot to pump the brakes
and noticed the brake pressure
gauge was a little off. A perfect
landing was soon compromised
by the failure of the wheels to
rotate, sending NZ102 into a slow,
undignified somersault onto its
back. Clark was uninjured.
The rarity and historical
significance of the Vildebeest
means it is one of the most
important military aircraft held
in a museum collection anywhere
in New Zealand.
• The Vildebeest first flew
in 1928, but by the time
WW2 broke out it was
obsolete.
• During its time with the
RNZAF, the Vildebeest was
for coastal defence, general
reconnaissance, aircrew
training and target towing.
• Its 635-horsepower Bristol
Pegasus engine gave it a
top speed of 230km/h.
• The Vildebeest had a
range of 2010km and an
absolute ceiling of 19,000ft.
• Its crew consisted of a
FAST FACTS
pilot, navigator and an
observer.
• It was armed with a fixed
forward firing .303 Vickers
machine gun and a flexible
rearward firing .303 Lewis
gun.
• It could carry 500kg of
bombs or a single torpedo.
• The British Air Ministry
insisted manufacturers had
to name torpedo bombers
after mammals. Vickers
aircraft names started with
a ‘v’ – and so the name
Vildebeest was coined.
CAREFUL: The Vickers Vincent, on loan from the Subritzky
family, was moved into the museum’s Wigram hangar.

Radio Avon back – for a day
• By Tony Simons
PERSONALITIES: Murray Inglis (above) and Lee Hanner
(below right) preparing for the launch in July 1973.
RADIO AVON, the station
that shook up the Christchurch
establishment and ended
government-owned 3ZB’s
dominance of the airwaves, will
return for a brief reprise next
week.
More than 40 of its former
staff are back for a broadcast and
a reunion marking 50 years since
Radio Avon 1290 was launched
on August 4, 1973.
The first private radio station
in the city, it made an immediate
impact with its new mix of pop
music and on-air personalities –
in the mould of Radio Hauraki,
which had been enjoying similar
success in Auckland.
Two former Avon announcers,
Morry Shanahan and Kim
Adamson, will be fronting a
two-hour special on community
station 96.9 Plains FM from
10am on Saturday, August 5.
The programme will be
streamed around the world,
something that would never have
been possible in 1973.
At one time in its 17-year
history, Radio Avon had 55 per
cent of Christchurch people
tuning in. The journey ended
in 1990 when it merged with
another station and was later
rebranded C93FM.
Many of the original onair
team from 1973 are still
remembered today, such as
programme director Graeme
Parsonage, who was widely
credited for the station’s success.
Others include Wayne
Douglas, Mike Richardson
and perhaps the best known,
Murray “Muzza” Inglis, who
was still broadcasting on his
own suburban radio station in
Auckland until he died last year,
aged 80.
In a famous stunt in 1977
Inglis threw a tantrum on air,
apparently in an argument with
management over his contract
renewal. He locked himself
in the studio and continued
to broadcast by himself for 48
hours.
At the time, very few station
staff knew it was a stunt and the
story made headlines around the
world.
Shanahan, who joined the
announcing team later in 1973,
remembers some of the tricks
they employed to increase
audiences ratings.
“We used to play the records
at a higher speed to create more
pace,” he said. “Not enough that
the audience would notice, but
enough to give the station a more
lively sound – 45s were played at
48rpm and LPs at 35rpm instead
of 33.”
Another original on-air
personality was Lee Hanner,
who moved into the Lyttelton
Timeball Station with his family
when the city council was
looking for a live-in manager.
After the Timeball was badly
damaged in the February 22,
2011 earthquake, Hanner talked
about his time there and how it
fitted in perfectly with his 8pmto-midnight
shift at Radio Avon.
“I’d get home about one in the
morning and, with moonlight
over the harbour, walking up to
the building felt like going back
100 years,” he said.
In 1989, tragedy struck when
journalist John Foy and his
former de facto wife Jill Cardwell
were murdered in Cardwell’s
Wainoni home. Cardwell’s
boyfriend was convicted of
the double murder. Foy had
joined Radio Avon in 1974
before leaving to become chief
reporter for Independent Radio
News. His estate later established
an annual award for young radio
journalists at the New Zealand
Broadcasting School.
In 1998, a radio documentary
The Rise and Fall of Radio Avon
was produced by NZBS radio
student Richard Holstein. It can

Former Broadcaster Challenges our Views on Ageing Well ADVERTISEMENT
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.”

Inmates help with housing shortage
Rolleston Prison
inmates have just
completed building
their 150th home in an
innovative behind-bars
programme designed
to get them ready for
jobs once released,
while also helping to fill
the social housing gap.
Reporter Kurt Bayer
was given a behind-thewire
tour of the busy
prison construction
yard.
WITH SKILL SAWS buzzing
nearby, John* marks his cut line,
aiming to go straight.
“If this means I get something
more legit, it would be good,
eh?” he says, working on skeletal
timber framing while guards
keep a watchful eye.
“It’s good to get some skills
and learn something. When I
get a chance to work out here, I
definitely take it.”
On a wet, cold winter’s day,
inmates like John are busy inside
the heavily secured, razor-wired
construction yard at Rolleston
Prison, which houses low and
medium-risk prisoners.
Wearing orange prison garb
and safety gear, they operate a
range of power tools, saws, drills,
hammers and screwdrivers.
John hopes his new-found
skills – and enjoyment in his
work – will continue once he’s
released.
“Man, I love it,” he smiles. “It
helps fill the day, too.”
For the past decade, the
unique partnership between
the Department of Corrections
and Kāinga Ora has offered men
in the prison an opportunity
to work, “develop confidence
and work aptitudes”, earn
qualifications and learn
employable skills so they can
work upon their release, while
contributing to the Canterbury
social housing pool.
It began after the devastating
2010/11 earthquake sequence
and helped with the mammoth
rebuild of the city.
Around 70 social and private
houses were moved to the prison
from the ‘red zone’ – including
Bexley, Shirley, Dallington and
Bromley – after the quakes and
refurbished in the yard.
And three years ago, new
builds were added to the programme,
giving workers in the
yard a broader set of skills and
qualifications.
Prison director Colin
Williamson said hundreds of
men have worked and trained
on the project, with about 120
over the last three years getting a
Level 3 certificate in construction
and high work.
Two carpenters have even
achieved their licenced building
practitioner qualifications from
the yard, with one setting up
his own business after he was

released.
“Employment is a key to people
maintaining a crime-free life on
release,” said Williamson.
“As much as Rolleston is
a working prison, it is also a
learning prison. The skills the
men are learning through this
partnership are needed in the
community, making them very
employable.
“Our expectation for the
workmanship on houses leaving
the yard is extremely high. The
men appreciate this – and take
great pride in the quality of their
work and in seeing the houses
finished and ready to be home
for a family in need.”
Many of the houses have gone
back into the quake-hammered
eastern suburbs, while others
were sent as emergency housing
to flood-hit Westport.
Others are ready to fill Kāinga
Ora gaps as needed.
Corrections
Minister Kelvin
Davis visited the
yard to mark the
completion of
the programme’s
150th home.
Davis has seen
“some shoddy
houses in my
Kelvin
Davis
time”, but was impressed at the
quality of workmanship.
The men appeared to take real
pride in their jobs, he said.
“The skills learned here really
set them up,” Davis said, calling
the programme a “fantastic
concept”.

THE BIG
The last time Marist
Albion didn’t feature in
the Metro premier rugby
grand final was 2019,
when High School Old
Boys were last victorious.
The two sides clash at
Rugby Park on Sunday to
decide who will take the
title this season. Jaime
Cunningham reports
GETTING AN early lead will
be a key part of Marist Albion’s
game plan against a High School
Old Boys’ side on a seven-game
winning streak.
Marist Albion head coach Ian
Robinson said his team is “pretty
set” for Sunday.
For Marist, making
the final has
been a feat in itself.
They had a long list
of players out with
injuries just weeks
ago.
Ian
Robinson
“At one stage I
think we had more
players out than
in,” Robinson said.
“We were playing a winger
at 6 for a bit, it’s been a bit of a
challenge.”
The two teams last met in
round 3 in April, when Marist
won 46-28.
But HSOB have no doubt been
the in form team
in the latter stages
of the competition,
winning their last
seven games on the

A dominant attacking display
from Lincoln University A put
an end to Kereru A’s short, unbeaten
run with a 51-42 win, as
the semi-finals edge closer.
Shooters Kate Grant and
Taiana Day were dominant for
Lincoln University, shooting at a
combined 90 per cent.
Despite trailing by two at halftime,
Kereru A were unable to
keep up with Lincoln University
in the second half, which they

Kereru A could return to the
top of the table with a large win
over Lincoln University B on
Tuesday.
However, Lincoln University B
have leapt to 12 points following

CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High
and St Thomas of Canterbury
College will clash in a muchanticipated
semi-final on
Saturday after both teams
suffered contrasting losses in the
final round of the Miles Toyota
Premiership.
CBHS ended their regular season
at the weekend with one of the
biggest upsets of the year – a 24-22
loss to Marlborough Boys’ College,
while St Thomas’ relinquished a
24-7 halftime lead in their 31-29
defeat to unbeaten Nelson College.
The other semi-final will see St
Bede’s face Nelson. St Bede’s come
off a dominant 37-7 win over
Shirley Boys’ High at the weekend.
Both teams featured in last season’s
final, which St Bede’s lost 45-
19. They last met on May 13 when
St Bede’s went down 32-17.
CBHS and St Thomas’ last
encounter two weeks ago saw
CBHS come out on top 24-19.
But CBHS will be hurting after
they blew a 22-21 lead against
Marlborough with only minutes
remaining. Marlborough missed
a chance to get in front after
a CBHS error, before first-five
Hugh Robinson calmly slotted a
drop goal to give them the win
moments later.
The result meant CBHS handed
over the Trust Bank Trophy to
Marlborough. After their shock
win over CBHS, Marlborough
host Christ’s College in the plate
semi-final.
Christ’s finished seventh on the
table following a narrow 12-10 loss
to St Andrew’s at the weekend. St

GARDENING
Brought to you by www.arvida.co.nz
Spring dreaming: Winter a time to plan
Winter’s a good time to
think ahead – peruse
catalogues, order new
seeds and plants, and
prepare the soil
Vegetables
Gardening at this time of the
year is limited, as winter’s worst
weather usually comes in July
and August. Cold, wet days are
an opportunity to look through
garden catalogues and order new
seeds or plants.
This is also a good time to plan
where next season’s vegetables
will be sown or planted, using
the practice of rotation outlined
earlier this month.
Although five-year garden diaries
are valuable, an alternative
is a sturdy indexed book. Record
planting and other information
under each alphabetically listed
vegetable, noting the date when
seeds were sown or plants put in.
Note varieties and after harvesting,
indicate how well each did.
This gives a year-by-year record
of the garden, one that is easier
to cross-check than a series of
diaries.
Green manures oats, lupins
and the like not yet dug in
should be cut and turned into
the ground. Soil cleared of
crops such as winter cabbage,
broccoli and parsnips benefits
if it is turned over, too. Rough
LOOK FORWARD: Take time over winter to consider what
you’d like to plant in spring, and prepare accordingly.
digging is the best treatment at
this time of the year, with weeds
placed under the surface and any
spare compost thrown over the
surface. Complete with a dressing
of garden lime. The rate will
vary depending on soil acidity
but plan on 50g to 100g a square
metre, the bigger amount for
heavier soils.
Hedges can be trimmed in
warmer areas but should be left
until later in the year in areas
that experience hard frosts or
snow.
Soil can be prepared,
conditions permitting, before
cloches and cold frames are put
in place for growing plants under
shelter. If soil clings to tools or
boots, the ground is too wet and
any work should be postponed.
When the soil has been dug,
composted and worked to a fairly
fine crumb-like consistency,
position the cloches and leave
them for three weeks before
sowing seeds. This warms the
soil under the cloches and the
more that are used, the better the
lift in soil temperature under the
individual shelter.
Cloche gardening is
suitable for small gardens and
strawberries give earlier crops
grown in this way.
Flowers
Pruning roses this month can
be risky, as early pruning can encourage
roses to throw out fresh
shoots that will be zapped by
frost. Coastal areas can usually
get away with winter pruning
but in general, August is the preferred
month for rose pruning.
Garden centres have barerooted
roses in stock now and
buying early is recommended to
obtain popular varieties.
Cinerarias grown in a glasshouse
will be pushing up their
flower stems and will benefit
from a liquid manure once a
week, the day after they have
been watered.
Cyclamens (above) can also be
started in the greenhouse and
brought indoors as soon as the
first buds appear.
Tuberous begonias can be
grown in pots in the glasshouse
until almost ready to flower in
summer, when they can be taken
indoors or put on a sunny doorstep
or deck.
Carnations can also be treated
in this way.
Fruit
If any new fruit trees are still
to be ordered, do not delay or
you may miss out on a chosen
cultivar.
Plant trees and soft-fruit
bushes (currants, gooseberries,
raspberries and brambles such as
blackberries) in well-composted
soil to get them off to a good
start. Spending time getting the
soil into good shape before planting
pays dividends later.
With young fruit trees, avoid
letting them crop the first
season. Let the trees’ sturdy
trunks and branches develop for
better fruiting as they mature.
– ODT
Try nemesia if you’re after vibrant colour
IF YOU HAVE an area in
your garden you’re thinking of
blanketing with colour, then
nemesia is the plant for you.
Nemesias are colourful
annuals and short-lived
perennials, bearing wonderfully
fragrant, colourful flowers from
late spring through to autumn.
A small bedding plant, they can
be used for edging, in borders
and as a ground cover and,
in the right conditions, will
produce so many flowers it’s
hard to see the greenery.
Growing to a height of
around 20cm, nemesia is also
lovely grown in pots or hanging
planters.
Nemesia seedlings come
in mixed colours. Bi-colour
bundles contain seedlings that
will produce flowers with more
than one colour on each flower.
Some are a mix of white and
lavender, yellow or pink and
others are just a mix of different
colours. A mixed bundle will
produce all sorts of different
coloured flowers.
Nemesias make excellent
partners with other summer
flowering plants. Full sun and
free draining soil are essential
for them to flower well, as
poorly drained soil can result in
root and stem rot. Choose your
spot then plant your seedlings
about 15cm apart from each
other in spring.
Depending on the weather,
in just five to six weeks you can
expect a beautiful array
of different coloured flowers in
your pot or garden bed.
BLOOMS: Brightcoloured
nemesia
can be used for
edging or in hanging
pots and planters.

Recycle, Upcycle, Repurpose
& SAVE
In a throw away society it’s great to see
the resurgence of recycling, upcycling and
repurposing gaining momentum. Many of
us out there see the value of preowned
items whether it be clothing, furniture
or a multitude of other goods that
could have been destined for
landfill.
Preloved clothing has made a
complete turn around in recent years with
shops opening specifically to cater for
this large market, the stigma of wearing
second hand has gone and many people
now search through these locations to
find their next treasured clothing item.
Op shops are a wonderful place to find
all manner of items from kitchenware,
toys, jewellery, ornaments, curtains and
alike. If you’re looking for something
specific for the home these shops are
always a good starting point to save
money rather than buying a new and
more times than not you will find something
else in there that you didn’t now you wanted.
Maybe you are doing up an older house
and need a replacement window catch or
front door, the local demo yard is a good
starting point to find something from the
era of your home rather than something
bright, shiny and new and totally out of
character. Salvage yards are always a great
place to look for items for the home or
backyard.
All manner of things can be recycled,
upcycled or repurposed and it only takes
a bit of imagination to transform one
thing into another. Take for example bike
chains made into a chandelier, or if you
are thinking a little bigger try using an old
bike, give it a coat of paint and string solar
lights around the wheels and frame, hang it
on a fence and you have a terrific piece of
artwork that really comes to life at night.
Grab some old wood (scrounged from
the neighbour if necessary) and spend an
hour or two with the kids making a bird
house, the kids and the birds won’t mind
what it looks like. You could amaze yourself
by creating something bespoke and totally
unique.
Having no room for a swimming pool, a
trip to an eco recycling store saw us come
home with a really tidy nearly new bathtub
for $20 for the back yard, the addition of a
shower head over this attached to the garden
hose made this the place for the kids to be
on hot sunny days relaxing in the cool water.
There is a multitude of ways to help save
the environment and your back pocket by
purchasing preowned items. Next time you
have a clear out of the cupboards think
about where you can take those items
that can be onsold and the organisations
you donate to in turn can do good for the
community.
Happy recycling everyone.
Please donate your quality, pre-loved goods.
Support our mission to give families in need a better life,
here in Christchurch & around the globe.
