Is two years jail fair<br />

for killing someone?<br />

REACTION TO the two-year<br />

jail sentence handed down to<br />

the teenager who killed 61-yearold<br />

Tony Kelly in the central city<br />

has been swift.<br />

Posters to<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong>’s<br />

Facebook<br />

page and<br />

radio talkback<br />

are aghast at<br />

Mark Nagel’s<br />

sentence<br />

Tony Kelly<br />

and the fact<br />

Justice Rachel<br />

Dunningham<br />

granted him leave to apply for<br />

home detention.<br />

Said Fiona Yang: “Kill a<br />

person and you get two years?<br />

With the possibility of home<br />

detention? That’s not a bloody<br />

sentence. It’s a joke. His poor<br />

son, no bloody wonder he<br />

walked out of the courtroom.”<br />

Carolyn Murphy added:<br />

“Feeling incredibly sad for the<br />

victim’s loved ones as justice has<br />

definitely not been done in this<br />

case. Consequences should fit<br />

the crime, and this was no<br />

accident or minor wrong. A<br />

man’s life was taken.”<br />

Nagel, <strong>19</strong>, delivered a martial<br />

arts type kick to Kelly’s head<br />

outside Ballantynes in <strong>October</strong><br />

last year.<br />

KICK TO THE HEAD: Mark Nagel was sentenced at the High Court at Christchurch to<br />

two years’ imprisonment for the manslaughter of Anthony Kelly. <strong>The</strong> judge told him he<br />

could apply for home detention.<br />

He then high-fived one of<br />

his associates as they ran away,<br />

leaving the 61-year-old from<br />

Woolston unconscious<br />

on the street after his head<br />

hit the footpath.<br />

Emails warn<br />

of staffing<br />

crisis at<br />

mental<br />

health unit<br />

• By Sam Sherwood<br />

STAFF AT Canterbury’s forensic<br />

mental health service warned of<br />

a “staffing crisis” with one saying<br />

they were being put in a position<br />

of delivering care that was “at best<br />

negligent, and at worst unsafe and<br />

compromising”.<br />

In response to the emails,<br />

obtained by the NZ Herald under<br />

the Official Information Act, Te<br />

Whatu Ora Waitaha acknowledged<br />

the pressures their specialist<br />

mental health and addiction<br />

services were experiencing,<br />

including consultant psychiatrists,<br />

and said workforce shortages were<br />

a “large part of this”.<br />

However, they say the service<br />

has seen a “significant improvement”<br />

recently across almost all<br />

professions.<br />

Te Whatu Ora Waitaha released<br />

a series of emails to the Herald<br />

under the Official Information<br />

Act relating to concerns about<br />

staffing shortages.<br />

On July 31, a staff member<br />

working in the Forensic<br />

Community Team at Hillmorton<br />

Hospital emailed several people,<br />

including Forensic Mental Health<br />

Nursing director Patsy Tarrant.In<br />

the email, the staff member asked<br />

what input the FCT would be<br />

receiving that week to cover “dire<br />

and unsafe staffing shortages<br />

and how patient care will be<br />

managed”. • Turn to page 4<br />

Kiwi chicks welcomed to world<br />

THE FIRST kiwi chicks of<br />

the season have hatched at<br />

Willowbank Wildlife Reserve.<br />

<strong>The</strong> reserve has recently<br />

had the arrival of two<br />

homeborn kiwi chicks; a<br />

Rowi kiwi chick (right)<br />

hatched on <strong>October</strong> 2.<br />

On <strong>October</strong> 14, a Haast<br />

Tokoeka kiwi chick was<br />

welcomed into the world.<br />

<strong>The</strong> reserve also incubates<br />

great spotted kiwi, and North<br />

Island brown kiwi.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are two stages of<br />

hatching: the ‘internal pip’,<br />

which is when the chick pokes<br />

its bill into the air pocket at<br />

the blunt end of the egg; and<br />

‘external pip’, which is when<br />

the first crack in the shell<br />

appears.<br />

Kiwi usually take about<br />

five to seven days to complete<br />

their whole hatching process,<br />

however, the Tokoeko chick<br />

was in a rush as it bulldozed<br />

through its hatch in four days.<br />

Both chicks will live with<br />

a brooder for three to four<br />

weeks before moving into a<br />

pre-release enclosure.<br />

<strong>The</strong> reserve is part of<br />

Operation Nest Egg, which<br />

is a programme that aims<br />

to lower kiwi death rates<br />

by removing eggs and chicks<br />

from their burrows and<br />

caring for them in captivity<br />

until they’re big enough to<br />

fend for themselves in the<br />

wild.<br />

Only 5 per cent of kiwi<br />

chicks that hatch in the wild<br />

reach adulthood whereas<br />

Operation Nest Egg gives<br />

kiwi a 65 per cent chance of<br />

surviving to adulthood.<br />

Nagel and his associates had<br />

pursued Kelly from the bus<br />

exchange north on Colombo St<br />

before walking into Cashel Mall<br />

as they believed he had been taking<br />

photos of them on his phone.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y engaged with Kelly<br />

outside Ballantynes department<br />

store.<br />

Kelly tried to walk away but<br />

one of the group approached<br />

him, causing Kelly to swing<br />

a punch in self-defence. <strong>The</strong><br />

person then kicked Kelly in the<br />

shin.<br />

Nagel walked through the<br />

group, approached Kelly and<br />

kicked him in the face with his<br />

right foot, using a martial artsstyle<br />

kick, immediately losing<br />

consciousness and falling to the<br />

ground.<br />

Members of the public attempted<br />

CPR on Kelly until<br />

emergency services arrived and<br />

took him to hospital, where he<br />

was put in an induced coma.<br />

Ten days later Kelly died from<br />

his injuries.<br />

When questioned by police,<br />

Nagel admitted kicking Kelly<br />

in the face because he wanted<br />

him to delete the photos on his<br />

phone. Police found no evidence<br />

that Kelly was taking photos of<br />

the group.<br />

Commented:<br />

Wong: ‘Life<br />

Pathetic. Hope<br />

On <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong>’s Facebook page<br />

Jenny Robinsons said: “Another<br />

load of BS coming from the<br />

courts. How can the judges live<br />

with themselves, handing out<br />

sentences like this? Disgusting.”<br />

Carolyn Murphy felt incredibly<br />

sad for Kelly’s lfamily.<br />

“Justice has definitely not been<br />

done in this case. Consequences<br />

should fit the crime, and this was<br />

no accident or minor wrong. A<br />

man’s life was taken,” she said.<br />

Posted Pitiriria Morgan: “I really<br />

hate, hate the justice system,<br />

take a life, do life. Eye for an eye,<br />

regardless . . . ”<br />

Added Peter Grant: “What!<br />

Once again a pathetic punishment<br />

for a serious crime that<br />

has so adversely affected so<br />

many others. And all based on<br />

a presumption he and others<br />

Media Council<br />

upholds Kāinga<br />

Ora complaint<br />

SOCIAL HOUSING agency<br />

Kāinga Ora complained <strong>The</strong><br />

<strong>Star</strong> had failed to disclose a<br />

reporter’s link to a story he wrote<br />

about housing intensification in<br />

Christchurch.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Media Council said there<br />

was no dispute the reporter (a<br />

contractor) had a strong connection<br />

with the subject matter<br />

and <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> had an obligation to<br />

include a disclaimer outlining the<br />

link and allow readers to judge<br />

for themselves. <strong>The</strong> July 13 story<br />

headlined ‘Agency fights council<br />

plan’ was about Kāinga Ora’s<br />

opposition to the city council’s<br />

proposed changes to reduce<br />

housing intensification in the city<br />

– known as Plan Change 14.<br />

Kāinga Ora expressed<br />

concern that during the week<br />

the journalist had been quoted<br />

by at least two media outlets<br />

as the chair of a Christchurch<br />

residents association where he<br />

had made it clear that he opposed<br />

intensification. <strong>The</strong> agency said<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> story did not disclose<br />

the journalist’s link to the subject<br />

and readers should have been<br />

informed of this conflict of<br />

interest.<br />

In response, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> said it<br />

had no issues with the journalist’s<br />

objectivity or balance, as had<br />

been demonstrated numerous<br />

times when he had covered other<br />

housing stories.<br />

<strong>The</strong> journalist had raised the<br />

potential for conflicts of interests<br />

because of his role as a residents’<br />

association chair when he began<br />

contracting with <strong>Star</strong> Media. <strong>The</strong><br />

<strong>Star</strong> said potential conflicts of<br />

interest would be discussed on a<br />

story-by-story basis.<br />

When the journalist raised the<br />

issue in relation to this story, <strong>The</strong><br />

<strong>Star</strong> said it had no issues with<br />

the journalist’s previous stories<br />

on Kāinga Ora. Nor did it see<br />

any reason to put a disclosure at<br />

the end of the story as it had not<br />

done so in previous articles.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Media Council encourages<br />

media organisations to consider<br />

the wisdom of having journalists<br />

covering news stories in which<br />

they have a direct involvement.<br />

Staff shortage could<br />

• From page 1<br />

Due to one staff member being<br />

away sick and another on training,<br />

that left the staff member<br />

and one other for case manager<br />

coverage.<br />

“While I am aware staff cannot<br />

be plucked from nowhere, I am<br />

concerned that there seems to be<br />

a watch-and-wait approach with<br />

regards to managing our staffing<br />

shortage.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> staff member said “I<br />

personally, will not be extending<br />

myself beyond my current caseload<br />

– in the interests of trying<br />

to safely and appropriately manage<br />

the caseload I already have<br />

(which remains difficult).<br />

“<strong>The</strong>re is currently no scope<br />

for safe patient care in the<br />

instance of any staff sickness,<br />

given we are trying to operate<br />

as though we have a full staffing<br />

quota when we are far from that<br />

luxury.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> staffer suggested that,<br />

effective immediately, the FCT<br />

adopt “emergency measures”<br />

similar to what was done during<br />

the Covid-<strong>19</strong> lockdown, for<br />

patient care.<br />

In response, Tarrant told the<br />

staffer they were in “very challenging<br />

times”, but assured it was<br />

not a watch-and-wait situation.<br />

She said the senior leadership<br />

team had been working to come<br />

up with “contingency plans.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> situation at FCT has been<br />

escalated,” the email said.<br />

‘I am extremely concerned<br />

about the current level<br />

of psychiatrist staffing in<br />

the Canterbury Regional<br />

Forensic Service’<br />

– Hillmorton Hospital<br />

staffer, July <strong>2023</strong><br />

<strong>The</strong> staff member responded<br />

by saying some remedies that<br />

had been put in place still had<br />

around about half of the case<br />

manager full-time equivalents<br />

they required to function.<br />

“I am concerned that we<br />

continue to provide service that<br />

would be expected/reflective of<br />

a full staffing contingent, thus<br />

putting us in the position of<br />

delivering care that is at best<br />

negligent, and at worst unsafe<br />

and compromising.”<br />

On August 9 a psychiatrist<br />

emailed the acting clinical director<br />

of Forensic Mental Health<br />

Services Jane Hughes and the<br />

chief of psychiatry Sigi Schmidt.<br />

“I am extremely concerned<br />

about the current level of psychiatrist<br />

staffing in the Canterbury<br />

Regional Forensic Service,” the<br />

staffer said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> staff member said by their<br />

calculations Senior Medical<br />

Officer staffing was at about half<br />

the funded full-time equivalent<br />

allocation.<br />

lead to ‘compromising, unsafe’ care<br />

“This staffing crisis will<br />

become worse during periods of<br />

planned leave from September<br />

<strong>2023</strong> onwards.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> staff member said there<br />

were “multiple other issues at<br />

play here”, they gave examples<br />

however that information was<br />

redacted.<br />

“I cannot see these issues being<br />

resolved in the short term. <strong>The</strong>re<br />

has been two recent departures<br />

of experienced SMO staff and<br />

further staff appear likely to<br />

follow,” the email said.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> current situation requires<br />

an immediate high-level<br />

organisational response. I also<br />

strongly recommend briefing<br />

the Ministry of Health about the<br />

situation, if this has not already<br />

taken place.”<br />

Schmidt replied the following<br />

day to say he shared the staffer’s<br />

concerns, particularly in relation<br />

to their suggestion that further<br />

staff were likely to leave.<br />

“We take the well-being and<br />

retention of all staff including<br />

SMOs very seriously and I agree<br />

that an organisational response<br />

is required.”<br />

Schmidt said the issue with<br />

reduced medical staffing had<br />

already been escalated, and<br />

he’d had discussions with the<br />

Director of Mental Health and<br />

Addictions Dr John Crawshaw<br />

SHORTAGE: Staff at Canterbury’s forensic mental health service warned in July of a “staffing<br />

crisis” that could lead to compromised care. Since then, Te Whatu Ora Waitaha said the<br />

service has seen a “significant improvement”.<br />

about the SMO departures and<br />

concerns regarding the sustainability<br />

of the forensic service,<br />

including concerns about the<br />

viability of the forensic advanced<br />

training programme in<br />

Christchurch.<br />

In her response, Hughes suggested<br />

an in-person meeting<br />

would facilitate a “more in-depth<br />

discussion.<br />

“I understand the pressure the<br />

service is under and I appreciate<br />

your commitment to the forensic<br />

service . . . ”<br />

On August 17 the psychiatrist<br />

emailed again asking for an<br />

“urgent update” on what contingency<br />

planning about SMO staffing<br />

in the forensic service had<br />

occurred to date and requested<br />

an “urgent meeting” to discuss<br />

issues.<br />

Hughes said she did not have<br />

a further update, but said the<br />

concerns they had raised were<br />

“too important to discuss by<br />

email”, and asked to meet in<br />

person.<br />

Te Whatu Ora Waitaha’s<br />

specialist mental health service<br />

general manager Vicki Dent told<br />

the Herald she acknowledged the<br />

pressures the specialist mental<br />

health and addiction services<br />

were re-experiencing.<br />

She said the staffing within<br />

Canterbury’s Forensic Mental<br />

Health Service had seen a “significant<br />

improvement” recently<br />

across almost all professions.<br />

“However we currently have<br />

vacancies for psychiatrists and<br />

one of our accredited supervisors<br />

for our advanced forensic<br />

psychiatry training programme<br />

has resigned.<br />

“We are actively recruiting<br />

for more forensic psychiatrists<br />

and we have plans in place to<br />

make sure our current advanced<br />

forensic psychiatry trainee has<br />

adequate supervision. We are<br />

also working with our colleagues<br />

across the country to consider<br />

our next steps for our training<br />

programme.”<br />

Dent added it was important<br />

to recognise that the change of<br />

the scale required to address<br />

the mental health and addiction<br />

system would “take time to<br />

implement and establish”.<br />

“However, Te Whatu Ora is<br />

committed to improving and<br />

transforming the system to<br />

ensure that anyone who needs<br />

support gets it, regardless of age<br />

or location, with timely access<br />

to care. Our staff go above and<br />

beyond to provide care to our<br />

community and I thank them for<br />

all of their hard work.”<br />

Best home, best street: This stunner<br />

could make house price history<br />

• By Nikki Preston<br />

CHRISTCHURCH’S “best<br />

house” has hit the market for<br />

the first time and could smash<br />

records to become the city’s most<br />

expensive property.<br />

Harcourts Gold salesperson<br />

Cameron Bailey said not only is<br />

the property at 8 Wood Lane, in<br />

Fendalton, the city’s best house,<br />

but it is also on the best site and<br />

best street.<br />

<strong>The</strong> city’s house price record<br />

currently stands at $8 million,<br />

for a property on Wairarapa Tce,<br />

in Merivale, which sold in 2021.<br />

But the character-inspired fivebedroom,<br />

five-bathroom home at<br />

Wood Lane has the city’s secondhighest<br />

RV at $8.34m and could<br />

break the $10m mark.<br />

<strong>The</strong> owners,<br />

Bill and Mrrietta<br />

Horncastle, built<br />

the Wood Lane<br />

property 12<br />

years ago after<br />

being drawn<br />

Cameron<br />

to the 3338sqm<br />

park-like gardens<br />

surrounded<br />

Bailey<br />

by a river boundary, just 200<br />

metres from Hagley Park.<br />

<strong>The</strong> couple told Stuff in 2016<br />

the established gardens and river<br />

CHIC: <strong>The</strong> Fendalton property’s decor was inspired by family<br />

trips to France.<br />

gave it a country feel in the heart<br />

of the city.<br />

<strong>The</strong> original house, built for<br />

English settler and the street’s<br />

namesake William Derisley<br />

Wood, had undergone multiple<br />

extensions over the years and the<br />

couple decided to build a new<br />

home in its place.<br />

But the discovery of two rooms<br />

dating back to the original 1890s<br />

home provided inspiration for<br />

their new home, which was<br />

rebuilt around them.<br />

<strong>The</strong> home was designed with<br />

the help of architect Tim Devine<br />

and includes period features such<br />

as high studs, skirting boards,<br />

architraves, cornices and doors.<br />

“It’s essentially a modern home<br />

you are buying. It’s got all the<br />

creature comforts of a modern<br />

home – it’s wonderful,” said<br />

Bailey.<br />

He said the home would attract<br />

people who wanted privacy<br />

and aspect on a north-facing site.<br />

When asked if it could break<br />

the city’s price record, he said<br />

“undoubtedly”.<br />

“You feel like you’re in your<br />

own botanical gardens. It’s a big<br />

home so it would suit a family,<br />

but I could also see a retired<br />

couple in there just enjoying the<br />

land, the garden and the aspect.<br />

I just think it’s such a unique<br />

property that if you can afford it,<br />

why wouldn’t you buy it?”<br />

It also has a pool, tennis court<br />

and pizza oven.<br />

TWO Christchurch companies<br />

have been fined $270,000 and<br />

ordered to pay $130,000 in<br />

reparation after a trailer came<br />

off a work van and smashed<br />

into another vehicle, killing an<br />

Akaroa boat captain.<br />

Julian Bruins Yates, 52, a skipper<br />

for Black Cat Cruises, died<br />

on <strong>October</strong> 23, 2020 in a threevehicle<br />

crash on Weka Pass Rd in<br />

Hurunui.<br />

On Tuesday, Ultimate Design<br />

and Renovation Ltd, which<br />

owned the A-frame trailer and<br />

tow vehicle, and its operational<br />

arm ABC Aluminium Ltd were<br />

sentenced in the district court.<br />

Both businesses were charged<br />

under the Health and Safety at<br />

Work Act for health and safety<br />

failures.<br />

A WorkSafe investigation<br />

found the locking handle on<br />

the trailer was not engaged, and<br />

the trailer’s safety chain was not<br />

connected to the vehicle.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>se are routine checks that<br />

must be done when towing a<br />

trailer. If not, the consequences<br />

can be catastrophic,” said Work-<br />

Safe’s head of specialist interventions,<br />

Dr Catherine Gardner.<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />

Both companies did not have<br />

systems to ensure vehicles were<br />

in good working order, or systems<br />

to ensure drivers visually<br />

checked their vehicles before use.<br />

WorkSafe also found staff had<br />

inadequate information, training,<br />

instruction, supervision,<br />

and experience to safely use the<br />

company vehicles and trailers.<br />

“It’s not enough to just have<br />

your workers sign a vehicle<br />

policy. Businesses need to ensure<br />

drivers are competent to safely<br />

use a vehicle, especially one that<br />

is being towed,” said Gardner.<br />

“Julian Bruins Yates was a<br />

father of two who lost his life<br />

through no fault of his own.<br />

Any business with a vehicle fleet<br />

should heed the lessons of this<br />

tragedy because it was entirely<br />

preventable.”<br />

NEWS 9<br />

Companies fined after skipper killed in crash<br />

Black Cat Cruises chief executive<br />

Paul Milligan told the NZ<br />

Herald after the tragedy his staff<br />

had been left devastated.<br />

“Julian was a colourful character,<br />

he had been a part of the<br />

Black Cat team for 10 years.”<br />

Yates had been the “face and<br />

voice” of the company’s Akaroa<br />

Harbour cruise since 2011. Being<br />

out on the water in nature was<br />

“his happy place”, said Milligan.<br />

He estimated about 100,000<br />

guests over the past decade had<br />

been on a cruise with Yates.<br />

DNA found on milk drink left at burglary scene<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

A DNA SAMPLE has been taken<br />

from a milk drink container<br />

and could potentially lead to<br />

an arrest in two high-profile<br />

burglaries.<br />

<strong>The</strong> strawberry-flavoured<br />

Up&Go container which was<br />

found by the victim of the Burnham<br />

break-in in March was sent<br />

for forensic testing.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Burnham homeowner<br />

surprised the offender in his<br />

house. <strong>The</strong> burglar knocked him<br />

over as he ran from the house.<br />

He left in a white Mercedes<br />

Sprinter camper van.<br />

<strong>The</strong> victim told <strong>Star</strong> Media<br />

police have a sample from the<br />

container.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y did get some DNA off<br />

the container off it, but they<br />

can’t tell me anything more,” the<br />

victim said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> suspect, who is believed<br />

to be a well-known burglar,<br />

has been spoken to by police<br />

but denies any involvement.<br />

<strong>The</strong> distinctive white van used<br />

in the two burglaries was also<br />

used in a burglary in Tai Tapu<br />

on December 26, Boxing Day,<br />

and has often been seen parked<br />

up at a Woolston social housing<br />

complex.<br />

Julian Bruins Yates, 52, died<br />

in 2020 in a three-vehicle<br />

crash on Weka Pass Rd.<br />

Police would not say if the<br />

sample had matched any held<br />

on its database, or if anyone had<br />

been brought in for questioning.<br />

A spokesperson only said<br />

inquiries were ongoing.<br />

In the Tai Tapu burglary, the<br />

homeowner found an axe had<br />

been left at the scene when<br />

he returned home to find his<br />

house had been broken into.<br />

His home security camera<br />

captured the distinctive van<br />

leaving his property. A car<br />

was also stolen, which was<br />

captured being driven off,<br />

meaning there was more than<br />

one offender at this burglary.<br />

COMMUNITY fundraising efforts have<br />

raised more than $25,000 to restore the<br />

quake-damaged Mona Vale bathhouse.<br />

<strong>The</strong> historic building suffered damage<br />

in the February 22, 2011 earthquakes and<br />

while some funding is set aside in the<br />

Long Term Plan, work was deferred until<br />

2029 due to budget constraints.<br />

Earlier in the year, the Friends of the<br />

Christchurch Botanic Gardens committee<br />

began a fundraising campaign with a<br />

very successful Edwardian garden party<br />

attended by the mayor, mayoress, several<br />

city councillors, MPs and members of the<br />

public who dressed up for the occasion.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> Edwardian-themed party helped<br />

raise funds for the restoration and allowed<br />

the Friends to donate $25,000,”<br />

said Mona Vale subcommittee chair and<br />

event organiser Jeanette Christensen.<br />

“We’re a group who are passionate<br />

about the gardens, particularly the educational<br />

‘botanic’ side.”<br />

Friends of the Gardens chair Jane<br />

Cowan-Harris said the charitable organisation<br />

support staff wherever needed<br />

and take an ambassador role to share the<br />

gardens with visitors – whether local or<br />

international.<br />

“Having already been delayed in<br />

restoration, we were keen to support this<br />

project to open this beautiful building<br />

back up to visitors,” she said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> bathhouse building will be used to<br />

house a semi-tropical collection of plants,<br />

and will become a public venue for small<br />

events. <strong>The</strong> restoration of the building is<br />

the final project to be completed at Mona<br />

Vale.<br />

“We are incredibly fortunate to have<br />

such great support from the Friends to<br />

work towards completion of this special<br />

historic building,” said city council parks<br />

programmes and partnerships manager<br />

Roslyn Kerr.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> generous donation from the<br />

Friends will help get this restoration of<br />

the iconic bathhouse underway – and<br />

this is just one example of the incredible<br />

work they do in supporting the gardens<br />

and Mona Vale in a range of ways.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> Friends invite anyone interested in<br />

joining to support the gardens to come<br />

along to an open day at the kiosk from<br />

10am to 4pm on <strong>October</strong> 29. <strong>The</strong> day<br />

will be an opportunity to learn more<br />

about the work the Friends do within the<br />

gardens and Mona Vale, discover what’s<br />

involved in training as a garden guide,<br />

and join as a volunteer.<br />

Donations towards the restoration of<br />

the bathhouse are still welcomed by the<br />

Friends and can be donated online –<br />

fought off three teenagers who<br />

were trying to rob her while one<br />

pointed an imitation pistol at her<br />

head, and another stabbed her in<br />

the leg during a drug deal gone<br />

wrong.<br />

While the woman believed the<br />

pistol pointed at her was real,<br />

her first instinct was to lunge for<br />

it, as protective instincts kicked<br />

in with her baby’s safety at the<br />

forefront of her mind.<br />

“I think if I wasn’t pregnant to<br />

be honest it wouldn’t have been<br />

much of a fight, it was more me<br />

fighting for my baby to be honest,”<br />

she told the New Zealand<br />

Herald.<br />

Flynn James Glintmeyer,<br />

18, admitted setting up fake<br />

online profiles to organise cannabis<br />

deals before he and his<br />

associates, armed with weapons,<br />

attacked their victims including<br />

stabbing the woman who was<br />

nine months pregnant.<br />

Glintmeyer was remanded in<br />

custody at a youth facility until<br />

his sentencing on February 2.<br />

Glintmeyer, whose name<br />

suppression has now lapsed,<br />

appeared at the High Court at<br />

Christchurch where he pleaded<br />

guilty to one charge of wounding<br />

with intent to cause grievous<br />

bodily harm and two charges of<br />

aggravated robbery.<br />

<strong>The</strong> summary of facts stated<br />

Glintmeyer and his four associates,<br />

who all have name<br />

suppression, were at an address<br />

in Bryndwr.<br />

Glintmeyer used a fake Facebook<br />

profile called “Cody Flyer”<br />

to organise a cannabis deal with<br />

the 28-year-old woman.<br />

He instructed her to park her<br />

car on the side of the road in<br />

Bryndwr. She arrived at about<br />

11pm.<br />

<strong>The</strong> woman, who didn’t want<br />

to be named, admitted having<br />

a “weird feeling” as soon as she<br />

pulled up to the agreed meeting<br />

spot, as the person was taking<br />

“so long” to meet her.<br />

Glintmeyer, who was armed<br />

with a knife, and his three associates,<br />

one of whom was armed<br />

with an imitation Glock pistol,<br />

approached her car wearing full<br />

face masks.<br />

One teenager spoke to the<br />

woman from the driver’s side of<br />

the car and demanded she hand<br />

over her car keys and money,<br />

while the teenager holding the<br />

imitation pistol got into the passenger<br />

seat and pointed the pistol<br />

at the woman.<br />

<strong>The</strong> woman described hearing<br />

the gun first before it was<br />

pointed at her head.<br />

“I don’t know why but I<br />

grabbed it. I was trying to pull it<br />

away,” she said.<br />

She said two teenagers were<br />

at the driver’s side trying to “rip<br />

me out” of the car while others<br />

yelled to grab her car keys.<br />

<strong>The</strong> teenager holding the imitation<br />

pistol struck the woman<br />

in the head with the pistol before<br />

stealing a $20 note and some<br />

cannabis from her.<br />

One of the offenders reached<br />

through the car window and<br />

pulled the keys out of the ignition,<br />

causing the alarm to go off.<br />

Glintmeyer then approached<br />

the car and stabbed the woman<br />

in her right thigh, causing a deep<br />

wound.<br />

<strong>The</strong> woman admitted she<br />

hadn’t even realised she had been<br />

stabbed at the time.<br />

“I remember trying to fight<br />

them off and I felt like he had<br />

punched me in the leg.<br />

I was more trying to protect<br />

my tummy because I was two<br />

weeks away from giving birth,”<br />

she said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> woman said she thinks the<br />

teenagers got scared when the<br />

car alarm went off and they ran<br />

away.<br />

She climbed out of the car to<br />

grab her keys which had been<br />

dropped on the road. It wasn’t<br />

until she stood up and felt blood<br />

trickling down her leg that she<br />

saw what had happened.<br />

“I felt something running down<br />

my leg and then I look down<br />

blood on the concrete.<br />

I thought ‘Oh I got stabbed’,”<br />

she said.<br />

People who had heard the<br />

commotion came out to the<br />

street to help the woman.<br />

“I yelled out ‘Can you please<br />

call an ambulance, I think I’ve<br />

An ambulance took her to<br />

the hospital where she received<br />

stitches and staff checked that<br />

her baby was okay. She went<br />

home later that night.<br />

Religious upbringing linked to child<br />

exploitation and secret cameras<br />

• By Emily Moorhouse<br />

A MAN who was taught all<br />

things sexual were “the work of<br />

the devil” and had an “oppressive<br />

religious upbringing” went on<br />

to install cameras in a home to<br />

secretly film a young woman<br />

showering.<br />

<strong>The</strong> court heard Giane Patrick<br />

Woods was the “product of an<br />

oppressive faith” that linked to<br />

his offending, including having<br />

more than 40,000 images and<br />

videos of child exploitation<br />

material.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 55-year-old was sentenced<br />

to three years jail on eight charges<br />

of making an intimate visual<br />

recording and two of possessing<br />

an objectionable publication.<br />

One of the possession charges<br />

was representative, meaning it<br />

happened more than once.<br />

According to the summary<br />

of facts, Woods made internet<br />

searches in April 2020 on “how<br />

to install a hidden camera”.<br />

He also searched for cameras<br />

online. He then chipped away<br />

at a ceiling board and installed<br />

a small camera, which was used<br />

to secretly film into a woman’s<br />

bedroom.<br />

Two months later the woman<br />

PHOTO: GETTY<br />

discovered the camera and told<br />

Woods about it. He said it must<br />

have been installed by the previous<br />

tenants and took the camera<br />

out but kept it.<br />

On eight occasions, between<br />

December 2021 and January<br />

2022, Woods accessed the ceiling<br />

space and filmed the woman in<br />

the shower, taking just under 40<br />

minutes worth of footage in total<br />

and sometimes screenshotting<br />

images.<br />

Woods also replaced the blue<br />

shower curtain with a clear glass<br />

panel.<br />

In March 2022 police searched<br />

Woods’ property and seized his<br />

electronic devices.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y found an open laptop<br />

with a folder of child exploitation<br />

material. Police seized the laptop,<br />

along with two others, a smartphone,<br />

a tablet, a hard drive, two<br />

cameras and two USB sticks.<br />

In total, more than 40,000 files<br />

were classified as objectionable<br />

publications with child exploitation<br />

material ranging from<br />

categories A, B and C.<br />

Further searches also revealed<br />

a 57-minute video involving<br />

bestiality.<br />

<strong>The</strong> court heard the woman<br />

felt incredibly stressed and betrayed<br />

by Woods’ offending.<br />

Woods’ lawyer James Rapley<br />

KC said reports showed his client’s<br />

“rigid and intense religious<br />

upbringing” had a link with his<br />

offending.<br />

<strong>The</strong> court heard Woods was<br />

immersed in the Jehovah’s Witness<br />

religious group when he was<br />

eight but was shunned from the<br />

group at 16. Woods joined the<br />

group again a few years later and<br />

married.<br />

Rapley said Woods was exposed<br />

to “distorted thinking”<br />

around sexual experiences and<br />

while the offending was “abhorrent”,<br />

he asked the judge to consider<br />

Wood’s strict upbringing<br />

when sentencing him.<br />

He added Woods hadn’t appeared<br />

before the courts previously<br />

and he engaged well in the<br />

pre-sentence process, showing<br />

remorse and insight into his offending.<br />

Judge Gerard Lynch said<br />

reports provided to the court<br />

stated Woods’ “oppressive”<br />

upbringing taught him that “all<br />

things sexual were evil and the<br />

work of the devil”. <strong>The</strong> report<br />

stated there was a link to Woods’<br />

upbringing and the offending.<br />

Woods had expressed relief at<br />

This report was produced by Open<br />

Justice – Te Pātītī, a Public<br />

Interest Journalism initiative<br />

funded by NZ on Air<br />

finally being able to talk about<br />

his upbringing and the secrecy of<br />

sexual activity that was enforced.<br />

Judge Lynch said not everyone<br />

who had experienced an oppressive<br />

faith went on to offend in<br />

this way but for some, it “arguably<br />

makes them more susceptible”<br />

to offend in this “disturbing<br />

way”.<br />

Woods had made good<br />

progress in applying himself<br />

through counselling sessions and<br />

had shown the motivation and<br />

capacity to address his offending.<br />

Judge Lynch said the aggravating<br />

features of Woods’ offending<br />

were the breach of trust, the<br />

victim’s vulnerability, premeditation,<br />

effects on the victim and<br />

the exploitation of very young<br />

children, which he described as<br />

“vile”.<br />

He gave Woods discounts for<br />

his remorse and commitment<br />

to rehabilitation, his personal<br />

circumstances, the trauma associated<br />

with his childhood and<br />

his previous good character.<br />

Kōrero mai, let’s talk about our<br />

Safer speed plan<br />

Way safer for everyone<br />

We’re planning to make more speed limit<br />

changes in some areas across Christchurch.<br />

Lower speeds can save lives and prevent serious injury.<br />

Reducing our speed makes a major difference in a crash.<br />

People make mistakes on our roads, and those mistakes<br />

shouldn’t cost our neighbours, whānau or pets their lives.<br />

Patched Mongols MC member denied<br />

appeal following fatal gangpad bashing<br />

• By Hazel Osborne<br />

A PATCHED Mongols MC<br />

member involved in a gang-pad<br />

killing on New Year’s Eve has<br />

been denied an appeal on his<br />

sentence and conviction for his<br />

part in the fatal beating.<br />

Lyndon Paul Sheed was found<br />

guilty last year of manslaughter<br />

after standing trial for the killing<br />

of Kane Wayman, who was<br />

beaten at the Mongols MC gangpad<br />

and died on New Year’s Day,<br />

2021.<br />

Sheed was initially charged<br />

with murder, but found guilty<br />

of manslaughter and later sentenced<br />

in the High Court to five<br />

years and six months imprisonment.<br />

He has since been denied his<br />

appeal against conviction and<br />

sentence, with the Court of<br />

Appeal stating in their recently<br />

released decision they did not<br />

accept the grounds put forward<br />

by the convicted killer.<br />

<strong>The</strong> jury found Sheed had<br />

administered the fatal blow to<br />

Wayman’s head that night when<br />

he was attacked for allegedly<br />

disrespecting people at the party<br />

and acting out.<br />

Wayman, who was 46 at the<br />

APPEAL: Lyndon Sheed (centre) during his trial in the High<br />

Court.<br />

time, had been attacked by three<br />

men, including Sheed, after he<br />

was “ejected” from the gangpad.<br />

He was punched and kicked,<br />

even when he lay defenceless on<br />

the ground.<br />

He was driven to the hospital<br />

by a woman he had been seeing.<br />

Battered and badly injured he<br />

was laid out on the back seat of a<br />

car and driven to Christchurch<br />

hospital where he was pronounced<br />

dead.<br />

His body showed signs of an<br />

assault, including facial, head<br />

and neck injuries and a pathologist<br />

found his cause of death to<br />

be blunt head trauma and neck<br />

compression injuries on the<br />

background of heart problems<br />

and methamphetamine use.<br />

“In (the pathologist’s) opinion,<br />

the degree of post-mortem<br />

changes suggested he was dead<br />

or actively dying before he was<br />

placed in the car,” the decision<br />

said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> woman who drove him,<br />

Penny Poihipi, said Sheed had<br />

come to the driver’s window before<br />

leaving for the hospital and<br />

said “(you) f******* hear nothing,<br />

you f****** see nothing. Did you<br />

hear?”<br />

Poihipi was a key witness<br />

in the trial, and had identified<br />

Sheed, who she had slept with<br />

that night, as the man who administered<br />

a “king hit”.<br />

Sheed’s daughter Liz and Mongols<br />

prospect Mitchell Carston<br />

also who stood trial for Wayman’s<br />

death, and were acquitted<br />

of murder at the trial last year.<br />

Sheed’s lawyer Len Andersen<br />

KC put forward three grounds<br />

when appealing the 2022 conviction<br />

at a hearing in August this<br />

year.<br />

Andersen argued there was<br />

no admissible identification of<br />

Sheed, Poihipi’s account of the<br />

fatal punch was not reliable, and<br />

the evidence did not prove the<br />

blow caused the man’s death.<br />

A reduction in his sentence<br />

of five years and six months<br />

was also sought by Andersen,<br />

claiming the time given should<br />

have been no more than four<br />

years and in line with other “one<br />

punch” manslaughter cases.<br />

Andersen said an allowance<br />

should have been made for<br />

“personal mitigating factors”,<br />

including learning difficulties,<br />

familial disconnection and poor<br />

role-modelling in early life.<br />

“We do not accept these submissions,”<br />

the court said in the<br />

decision.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y went on to state they were<br />

not persuaded the sentencing<br />

judge was wrong when denying<br />

discounts for personal mitigating<br />

factors, describing the connection<br />

between that and his offending<br />

as “weak”.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> (cultural) report states<br />

that Mr Sheed attributes the<br />

offending to intoxication at the<br />

time and his responsibility as the<br />

gang member ‘on watch’ to ‘sort<br />

it out’. However, his intoxication<br />

at the time is not a mitigating<br />

factor,” the decision said.<br />

Sheed joined the Mongols in<br />

2012. Wayman was not connected<br />

to the gang and, according<br />

to the decision, may have<br />

met Sheed just one time before<br />

he died.<br />

ATTACKED: Kane Wayman<br />

died on January 1, 2021.<br />

Orca siblings return to Akaroa<br />

• By Sasha Watson<br />

ORCA SIBLINGS Prop and<br />

Danny have made their annual<br />

return to Akaroa.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y were spotted by Black Cat<br />

Cruises last week and were the<br />

first orcas of the season to visit<br />

the harbour.<br />

“While orcas usually turn<br />

up around this time of year,<br />

<strong>October</strong> to December, the first<br />

sightings are always exciting,”<br />

said Black Cat chief executive<br />

Paul Milligan.<br />

“Initially we thought these two<br />

were an unknown mother orca<br />

and her calf, and noticed the calf<br />

looked like it had some damage<br />

just behind its dorsal fin – most<br />

likely a propeller strike which is<br />

always sad to see,” he said.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> concern for the smaller<br />

orca was quickly abolished after<br />

a few local orca experts said the<br />

orcas were the well-known Prop<br />

and Danny.”<br />

Orca Research Trust and<br />

Whale Rescue founder Dr Ingrid<br />

Visser said in Guide to the New<br />

Zealand Orca, the two orcas<br />

were believed to be brother and<br />

sister.<br />

Visser has been documenting<br />

orca since <strong>19</strong>95 and has records<br />

of Prop going back to <strong>19</strong>82.<br />

Prop was ‘readily recognisable’<br />

with distinctive damage to her<br />

WHALE-COME BACK: Prop and Danny were the first orcas of the season to visit the Akaroa Harbour waters.<br />

dorsolumbar region from being<br />

run over by a boat when she was<br />

‘reasonably young’.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> damage was so significant<br />

that it stunted her growth.<br />

Her dorsal fin is about a third<br />

smaller than an orca of a similar<br />

age.”<br />

Prop has two visible deep V-<br />

shaped cuts along her spine and<br />

a third closer to the tail.<br />

Department of Conversation<br />

marine technical advisor Mike<br />

Ogle said he hoped people would<br />

respect the orca and give them<br />

the space they need.<br />

“This includes travelling no<br />

faster than ‘no wake’ speed<br />

within 300m of marine mammals,<br />

not circling or cutting off<br />

the path of any animals, and<br />

approaching from a direction<br />

that’s parallel and to the rear of<br />

the animals,” he said.<br />

“For whales, keep at least 50m<br />

away, or 200m for baleen or<br />

sperm whales with a calf.”<br />

Said Milligan: “While Prop<br />

and Danny are well-known, this<br />

should still be a warning to do<br />

what you can to maintain their<br />

safety.<br />

“Do not go searching for<br />

orcas, but if you do happen<br />

to spot one, be mindful and<br />

conscious.”<br />

Covid still biggest infectious<br />

Unless someone high<br />

profile gets it, most<br />

of us aren’t thinking<br />

about the dangers of<br />

catching Covid-<strong>19</strong> now.<br />

We should be – it’s<br />

our country’s biggest<br />

infectious disease killer,<br />

twice as deadly as<br />

influenza. Tom Kitchin<br />

reports<br />

EVERY WEEK we see<br />

thousands of cases, hundreds<br />

lying in hospital beds, and<br />

around 20 deaths.<br />

Sorry to say it, but Covid is<br />

still alive and kicking.<br />

“It’s a bit like an unwelcome<br />

guest that no one wants to talk<br />

about, but it hasn’t gone away,<br />

that’s for sure,’’ said Otago<br />

University<br />

epidemiologist<br />

professor<br />

Michael Baker.<br />

“It’s our<br />

number one<br />

infectious<br />

disease threat<br />

Michael<br />

Baker<br />

. . . it’s really<br />

displaced<br />

influenza as our<br />

biggest single infectious disease<br />

killer.”<br />

And Baker warns the number<br />

of reported cases are probably<br />

well behind what’s actually out<br />

there.<br />

“(<strong>The</strong>re are) 3,500 or so<br />

reported cases every week, but<br />

we know that will be at best<br />

50 per cent of the cases in the<br />

community . . . maybe less than<br />

that . . . so we’re still looking at<br />

about 10,000 cases probably a<br />

week at least.”<br />

Baker said reporting<br />

has dropped off for several<br />

reasons, such as there no longer<br />

being mandatory self-isolation<br />

and the Covid leave support<br />

scheme ending, which helped<br />

pay employees who had to<br />

isolate.<br />

Wastewater results are<br />

Professor<br />

Michael<br />

Baker says<br />

being<br />

up to<br />

date with<br />

vaccines,<br />

selfisolating<br />

if unwell<br />

and<br />

wearing<br />

masks<br />

on public<br />

transport<br />

are all still<br />

important<br />

actions to<br />

take.<br />

“It’s our number one infectious disease threat . . . it’s<br />

really displaced influenza as our biggest single infectious<br />

disease killer.” – Professor Michael Baker<br />

showing an interesting, if not<br />

slightly concerning, trend.<br />

“We’re seeing a rise at the<br />

moment, a relatively small<br />

rise, in the detection of this<br />

virus in wastewater, unlike the<br />

continuing decline we’re seeing<br />

in self-reported cases, and<br />

this does seem to date to the<br />

period when we removed the<br />

subsidy for self-isolation, and<br />

that coincided with when<br />

we removed mandatory selfisolation.”<br />

Baker says<br />

the virus<br />

hasn’t stopped<br />

evolving. He led<br />

the publication<br />

of a recent<br />

paper in the<br />

New Zealand<br />

Helen<br />

Petousis-<br />

Harris<br />

Medical Journal,<br />

co-authored<br />

by 16 academic<br />

experts, which<br />

calls for careful mitigation<br />

strategies.<br />

“Mitigation is not a ‘donothing’<br />

approach. You do a<br />

selection of things to try and<br />

minimise the harms caused by<br />

an infection.”<br />

He talks about being up-todate<br />

with vaccinations, staying at<br />

home and self-isolating if you’re<br />

sick, and putting on masks in<br />

crowded indoor environments<br />

like public transport.<br />

Auckland University associate<br />

professor Helen Petousis-<br />

Harris, a vaccinologist, says<br />

current vaccines are effective<br />

at protecting against serious<br />

disease, but not so much the<br />

disease killer<br />

IMMUNISE: Professor Helen Petousis-Harris says combination vaccines<br />

are likely to start appearing in the next few years.<br />

asymptomatic or mild infections.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y started off with a hiss and roar<br />

because they were quite well-matched to<br />

those circulating variants,” she said.<br />

“As that shifted, the ability to prevent<br />

initial infection in the first place – that<br />

was what you saw wane first, and then<br />

the ability to prevent mild disease,<br />

whereas you see that protection against<br />

more severe disease holding.”<br />

She says there’s a lot of work going on<br />

to get better vaccine solutions.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>se are things like intranasal<br />

vaccines – so vaccines you sniff – or skin<br />

patches . . . you want them in your upper<br />

respiratory tract to catch that virus as<br />

soon as it appears. So we’re likely to<br />

see that sort of thing coming along,<br />

hopefully (in the) near rather than far<br />

future now.<br />

“And that of course has got that<br />

spillover for other respiratory infections<br />

as well. Covid’s not the only game in<br />

town. Influenza causes us grief every<br />

year, along with other respiratory<br />

viruses.”<br />

Petousis-Harris says there could<br />

be combination vaccines – attacking<br />

several viruses in one shot – in coming<br />

years.<br />

Bid to stop<br />

NZDF noise<br />

complaints<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

THE NEW Zealand Defence Force is<br />

having another shot at ensuring the<br />

future of its West Melton rifle range.<br />

NZDF has been trying for a number<br />

of years to get a covenant placed on<br />

properties near the range to stop noise<br />

complaints, with an appeal on Selwyn’s<br />

District Plan the latest attempt.<br />

Each time it has tried, its submission<br />

has been knocked back by residents in the<br />

area.<br />

<strong>The</strong> NZDF had submitted to the<br />

District Plan, asking for the covenant to<br />

be added, but the change was declined. It<br />

has subsequently lodged an appeal with<br />

the Environment Court.<br />

<strong>The</strong> NZDF argues the range has been<br />

operating legally since the <strong>19</strong>40s, and is of<br />

key importance.<br />

Since 2009 the council has received<br />

only one noise complaint from about the<br />

rifle range, in 2020.<br />

<strong>The</strong> NZDF is concerned without the<br />

covenant an increase in complaints may<br />

stop it from increasing the intensity and<br />

frequency of activities.<br />

Under Selwyn’s District Plan the NZDF<br />

is required to have a noise management<br />

plan; it argues if it is required to have an<br />

NMP then it should also be protected<br />

from complaints.<br />

Adapting to sea level<br />

rise: Feedback sought<br />

THE CITY council and the<br />

Whakaraupō Lyttelton Harbour<br />

and Koukourarata Port Levy<br />

Coastal Panel are seeking<br />

feedback on draft adaptation<br />

pathways for Allandale,<br />

Koukourarata Port Levy, Purau,<br />

Teddington, Charteris Bay and<br />

Rāpaki.<br />

<strong>The</strong> city council will be<br />

holding online webinars in the<br />

coming weeks for people to learn<br />

more and ask questions about<br />

the proposals. People can give<br />

feedback on them until December<br />

10.<br />

City council team leader for<br />

coastal hazards adaptation planning<br />

Jane Morgan said it is important<br />

the coastal panel hears<br />

from as many people as possible.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> feedback we receive from<br />

this engagement will help our<br />

coastal panel of community<br />

and runanga representatives<br />

work out which combination of<br />

options to put forward to councillors<br />

as the preferred pathway<br />

for each community once the<br />

options have been developed in<br />

greater detail next year.<br />

“If approved, these pathways<br />

will guide the management of<br />

public facilities and infrastructure,<br />

like roads, reserves and<br />

jetties, over the coming decades<br />

– so it’s important people spread<br />

the word and let us know what<br />

they think.”<br />

Morgan said adaptation<br />

pathways for communities could<br />

adopt a “hold the line” approach,<br />

where at-risk public assets were<br />

defended by options such as<br />

flood-proofing, but this approach<br />

may only work for so long.<br />

“Alternatively, we could work<br />

with nature and retreat assets<br />

further inland, which costs more<br />

at the outset but reduces the<br />

overall risk.<br />

“Communities will also need<br />

to be better prepared to live with<br />

the impacts of climate change,<br />

with public facilities, like walkways<br />

and roads, being closed<br />

more frequently in the future<br />

as we experience more storm<br />

events, for example.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>re’s also no guarantee at<br />

this stage that existing public<br />

facilities and assets will be maintained<br />

and available into the<br />

future. <strong>The</strong> closure, removal or<br />

retreat of different assets are options<br />

that may be considered in<br />

response to changing conditions<br />

and needs across the district.<br />

“We know that sea levels are<br />

rising in response to climate<br />

change. Locally, they’ve risen by<br />

more than 10cm over the last 15<br />

years in Whakaraupō Lyttelton<br />

Harbour, and we expect to see<br />

a further 14-23cm by 2050, and<br />

between 38cm and 1m by 2100.”<br />

Kinetic fleet to grow<br />

MORE THAN a quarter<br />

of Kinetic’s Go Bus fleet in<br />

Christchurch will soon be<br />

electric, with confirmation 10<br />

more zero-emission buses are<br />

bound for the city next year.<br />

<strong>The</strong> company will introduce<br />

the 10 electric buses across<br />

a number of local routes, to<br />

replace older diesel buses and<br />

further reduce the emissions<br />

from its Christchurch bus<br />

services.<br />

<strong>The</strong> introduction of these<br />

new electric buses is made<br />

possible by Environment<br />

Canterbury being awarded<br />

additional funding from Waka<br />

Kotahi to help decarbonise the<br />

urban Metro fleet.<br />

<strong>The</strong> additional 10 electric<br />

buses will see Kinetic grow its<br />

city fleet to 51 battery electric<br />

vehicles, which represents more<br />

than 25 per cent of its local<br />

fleet.<br />

“It’s a great<br />

step towards<br />

achieving our<br />

goal of having<br />

a 100 per cent<br />

zero emission<br />

fleet across<br />

Calum<br />

New Zealand<br />

and Australia<br />

by 2035,” said<br />

Kinetic NZ managing director<br />

Calum Haslop.<br />

“Reducing our carbon<br />

ELECTRIC: Ten more zero-emission buses will be<br />

introduced into the circuit next year.<br />

footprint is a priority at Kinetic<br />

and so far this year, our 41<br />

electric buses in Christchurch<br />

alone have saved over 2 million<br />

tonnes of CO2 emissions.<br />

“We are working with other<br />

councils around the country<br />

to further leverage this special<br />

Waka Kotahi funding, so expect<br />

to see more electric buses on<br />

the road across New Zealand.”<br />

ECan chair Peter Scott said<br />

he is delighted to have secured<br />

the funding for Christchurch.<br />

“This is a continuation of<br />

the work we have already been<br />

doing in this space – currently<br />

20 per cent of our fleet is zero<br />

emissions,” he said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> new buses can be<br />

expected on Canterbury roads<br />

in 2024.<br />

Kinetic is the largest operator<br />

of electric buses in New<br />

Zealand, with over 200 zero<br />

emission vehicles powered<br />

by eight electric depots<br />

across Auckland, Tauranga,<br />

Christchurch and Wellington,<br />

in partnership with local<br />

regional councils.<br />

Globally, Kinetic’s electric<br />

bus fleet is expected to grow to<br />

1,000 this year with operations<br />

in Australia, the UK, Europe<br />

and Singapore. <strong>The</strong> company<br />

is aiming to achieve net zero<br />

emissions by 2035, which<br />

includes a 100 per cent<br />

electric fleet.<br />

New solution for a better<br />

nights sleep & improved health!<br />

Deep regenerative sleep is so important<br />

to feeling and performing our best. A<br />

lack of or poor-quality sleep is associated<br />

with an increased risk for many chronic<br />

diseases, including obesity, type 2<br />

diabetes, heart disease, depression, and<br />

many more. Unfortunately, many adults<br />

report occasional bouts of insomnia,<br />

with one in three saying they suffer from<br />

sleeplessness or disturbed sleep on a<br />

more chronic basis, to the point that it<br />

regularly impairs daytime functioning.<br />

<strong>The</strong> good news is that an inexpensive,<br />

naturally occurring amino acid known as<br />

glycine has been clinically researched in<br />

Japan and shown to be highly beneficial<br />

in supporting healthy sleep. Subjects<br />

who were given three grams of glycine<br />

one hour before bedtime fell asleep much<br />

sooner as well as exhibited brainwave<br />

patterns associated with deep sleep<br />

compared to control subjects who did<br />

not supplement. On waking, the subjects<br />

who took the glycine woke reporting<br />

being refreshed with no indication that<br />

glycine produced a “morning hangover”<br />

or any foggy feeling common with<br />

those who use prescription sleeping<br />

medication.<br />

Glycine is known to accumulate in the<br />

pineal gland, where it is believed to play<br />

an important role in “disconnecting” the<br />

brain from the body during REM (rapid<br />

eye movement) sleep cycles. Glycine also<br />

supports healthy growth hormone (GH)<br />

secretion that is associated with strength,<br />

good health, and vitality, whereas low<br />

NIGHTS SLEEP?<br />

Sleep is so important to feeling and performing our best. Long<br />

term poor quality sleep is associated with many chronic diseases<br />

and may even reduce our life span. New clinical research has<br />

found a naturally occurring amino acid known as glycine may<br />

restore a good night’s sleep. Japanese researchers found<br />

patients taking glycine fell asleep much sooner and exhibited<br />

brainwave patterns associated with deep sleep. On waking<br />

the patients woke refreshed, clear minded and energetic.<br />

Emotional win for Hendry<br />

MICHAEL HENDRY won the<br />

DVS Clearwater Open on his<br />

44th birthday, becoming the<br />

winningest player on the Jennian<br />

Homes Charles Tour.<br />

<strong>The</strong> victory was emotional<br />

for the 2017 New Zealand Open<br />

champion, who didn’t know if he<br />

would play another competitive<br />

round following his leukaemia<br />

diagnosis in April.<br />

After overcoming his fair share<br />

of challenges over the past six<br />

months, he said he couldn’t put<br />

the victory into words.<br />

“Obviously, the trials and<br />

tribulations that I’ve been<br />

through this year I’ve been<br />

pushing hard to get back to<br />

the game, and to do this in my<br />

second major tournament back<br />

is pretty surreal to be honest. I’m<br />

blown away.<br />

“Along with the All Blacks<br />

win, it’s been a good day so far,”<br />

he said on Sunday.<br />

Hendry did it the hard way,<br />

winning on the fourth playoff<br />

hole during a weather-affected<br />

event that was reduced to<br />

36-holes after play was abandoned<br />

due to high winds on<br />

Saturday.<br />

He began the final day<br />

shootout in a tie for the lead with<br />

Josh Geary and Jordan Pruden at<br />

four-under-par, but it didn’t take<br />

him long to ascend to the top of<br />

the leaderboard on his own. He<br />

made a birdie on the second and<br />

added further birdies at five and<br />

six, following a bogey at four.<br />

However, bogeys at eight and<br />

nine brought him back to the<br />

chasing pack, and he went into<br />

the final nine tied with Geary,<br />

with the in-form left-hander<br />

Tyler Hodge a further shot<br />

behind.<br />

Both he and Geary birdied the<br />

10th before the gale force winds<br />

returned. <strong>The</strong>y played the closing<br />

holes in three-over-par, finishing<br />

tied with Hodge, Dongwoo<br />

Kang, and Auckland amateur<br />

Jared Edwards.<br />

All five players parred the 18th,<br />

the first playoff hole before they<br />

started to drop off one by one.<br />

Kang was the first to go with a<br />

bogey on the second extra hole<br />

before Geary was dropped as<br />

Hendry, Edwards, and Hodge<br />

birdied the third.<br />

Hendry finally sealed the<br />

dramatic win with a par on the<br />

fourth extra hole when all his<br />

emotions came out.<br />

He had plenty of memories to<br />

call upon to get the job done.<br />

“I’ve been in this situation a<br />

few times before. With five guys<br />

in the playoff, I knew I was<br />

going to have to make a birdie<br />

at some stage. I just thought I<br />

needed to play as aggressively as<br />

I did in regulation. With<br />

the wind off the right on 18, it<br />

set up pretty well for me; I just<br />

stepped up and piped driver a<br />

few times.<br />

“It’s probably the best I played<br />

all week to be honest.”<br />

He now holds nine Jennian<br />

Homes Charles Tour titles, the<br />

most of any player. He says<br />

it’s one of his proudest golfing<br />

achievements.<br />

“Having these little records<br />

and things, I’m sure someone<br />

will come along and beat them<br />

– Josh is playing so well at the<br />

moment and will probably win<br />

and tie it again next week.<br />

“It means a lot. <strong>The</strong>se records<br />

in the New Zealand golfing scene<br />

mean a lot. I care about how<br />

I’m perceived as a golfer in New<br />

Zealand. Hopefully, I can add to<br />

that now that I hold this record;<br />

it’s really satisfying.”<br />

He is now focusing on his<br />

next mission the Taranaki Open<br />

– which starts tomorrow – in<br />

search of his 10th title.<br />

Jared Edwards won the Lamb<br />

& Hayward Cup for finishing as<br />

Yoon Kyung Kim finished as the<br />

Teenage champion sets sights<br />

on professional career pathway<br />

• By Diane Keenan<br />

CANTERBURY tennis star<br />

Diego Quispe-Kim is making<br />

the most of his last few months<br />

in junior ranks, winning all<br />

three of International Tennis<br />

Federation tournaments in New<br />

Zealand in the past month.<br />

Quispe-Kim, 17, won the<br />

final of the <strong>October</strong> J100 ITF<br />

tournament at Wilding Park,<br />

easing through the early rounds<br />

before beating Lev Gorb in<br />

the final 6-1 6-0. This followed<br />

wins in the ITF30 Northern<br />

and ITF30 Auckland<br />

tournaments.<br />

This week he is back on court<br />

with his father and coach, Juan<br />

Quispe-Chavez, coaching and<br />

inspiring juniors at the Shirley<br />

Tennis Club as well as training<br />

for the New Zealand 18s<br />

nationals which will be played in<br />

Christchurch in December – his<br />

last tournament as a junior.<br />

His father is from Peru where<br />

he worked as a psychologist<br />

while his mother is from South<br />

Korea. <strong>The</strong> couple met when<br />

Juan was studying psychology at<br />

PARTNERSHIP: Diego Quispe-Kim has been coached by<br />

his father Juan Quispe-Chavez since he was three.<br />

Canterbury University.<br />

Born in Christchurch, Quispe-<br />

Kim has spent much of his life<br />

in the city, apart from two years<br />

studying at St Kentigern College<br />

in Auckland when his father was<br />

the college’s tennis coach.<br />

Quispe-Kim has been coached<br />

by his father since he first picked<br />

up a racket as a three-year old.<br />

“In fact, I think he likes me<br />

more as a coach than a dad. I<br />

know him so well as a player and<br />

what he needs to thrive,” Quispe-<br />

Chavez said.<br />

“I loved football and started<br />

coaching him in that sport.<br />

When a friend of mine suggested<br />

he try tennis, he did, liked it,<br />

and soon we were playing more<br />

tennis than football.”<br />

Quispe-Kim who was soon<br />

beating players twice his age,<br />

shares his father’s passion for<br />

sport.<br />

“Success in any sport is built<br />

on both passion and discipline,”<br />

Quispe-Chavez said.<br />

“ As far as tennis goes, Diego<br />

has the attributes needed to<br />

succeed. He enjoys playing and<br />

is very disciplined – from the<br />

way he trains to what he eats. For<br />

example, I don’t think he would<br />

ever have had a soft drink. “<br />

<strong>The</strong> talented left-hander<br />

has won four national titles at<br />

12s, 14s, 16s and 18s as well as<br />

enjoying success in international<br />

junior events in both Australia<br />

and Fiji. He now has 11<br />

international ITF singles titles<br />

and three ITF double titles to his<br />

credit, which saw him reach a<br />

career high world junior ranking<br />

of 70 in January <strong>2023</strong>. He<br />

played in the Australian Open<br />

juniors in January this year,<br />

but unfortunately, he suffered<br />

an untimely injury in the first<br />

match of the tournament and age<br />

will rule him out of competing<br />

in the junior event of the Grand<br />

Slam next January.<br />

Diego Quispe-Kim is positive<br />

about his future in the sport and<br />

is working to a plan that includes<br />

entering International Futures<br />

events, which he hopes will be<br />

his pathway to a professional<br />

tennis career.<br />

He is concentrating on<br />

competition and success close<br />

to home, given the high cost of<br />

competing overseas.<br />

“We are definitely exploring<br />

ways of getting a sponsorship<br />

so he can compete on the<br />

international stage. His results<br />

when he is injury-free and on<br />

all surfaces including grass<br />

and clay show he deserves the<br />

opportunity,” Juan Quispe-<br />

Chavez said.

Harness racing icon ‘Dobbie’ finds<br />

• By Barry Lichter<br />

IAN DOBSON, one of harness<br />

racing’s most successful owners<br />

of all time, died on Monday<br />

morning – on his 90th birthday.<br />

Dobson, whose name is synonymous<br />

with the champion pacer<br />

Christan Cullen, started winning<br />

races in <strong>19</strong>86 but, incredibly, was<br />

only now enjoying the best run<br />

of his life.<br />

In a February interview before<br />

cleaning up at the annual harness<br />

racing awards, Dobson said<br />

“the horses keep me going. I’m<br />

having a bit of fun and I don’t<br />

think I’ve ever had such a good<br />

run.”<br />

Dobson was a notable absentee<br />

at Addington last Friday when<br />

his three superstars Akuta, Don’t<br />

Stop Dreaming and Muscle<br />

Mountain went within a whisker<br />

of repeating their unmatched<br />

treble of last December when, in<br />

a golden 90 minutes, they bagged<br />

three Group I races, the $250,000<br />

New Zealand Derby, the<br />

$100,000 Ace Of<br />

Spades and the<br />

$86,500 Trotting<br />

Free-for-all.<br />

Long time<br />

close friend Noel<br />

Kennard said<br />

Noel<br />

Kennard<br />

“Dobbie” always<br />

tried to be on<br />

course but in the<br />

last month his health had gradually<br />

slipped.<br />

“I went in to the rest home<br />

with his son Stuart to watch the<br />

races with him but for the first<br />

time he wasn’t with it at all.<br />

“Up ’til about a month ago<br />

he could walk unaided and his<br />

memory was brilliant. If we<br />

talked horses or money he knew<br />

exactly what you were saying.”<br />

Dobson’s passing brings to a<br />

close one of the most spectacular<br />

ownership chapters in harness<br />

racing – he won 385 races in<br />

New Zealand alone, with 73 individual<br />

winners, including 31 at<br />

the very highest Group I level.<br />

But while his newest trotting<br />

sensation Muscle Mountain has<br />

been the most prolific, with 29<br />

wins, Dobson still rates Christian<br />

Cullen as his number one<br />

champion.<br />

“Christian Cullen was my best<br />

horse,” Dobson said in February.<br />

“I still own him – he’s alive<br />

and well at the age of 28, at the<br />

best old people’s home in New<br />

Zealand, Dancingonmoonlight<br />

Farm.”<br />

Dobson’s first foray into<br />

ownership in <strong>19</strong>84 wasn’t so<br />

successful. He shared in a mare<br />

called Jam Cover – named after a<br />

business he had which made jam<br />

WINNING TEAM: Ian Dobson with, from<br />

left, his daughter Lynne, partner Janice, and<br />

Muscle Mountain’s trainers, Nina and Greg<br />

Hope.<br />

covers – who placed three times<br />

from 14 starts.<br />

But he had been racing horses<br />

with some success for 10 years<br />

– his first winner was Lord<br />

Christopher at Hutt Park on<br />

September 2, <strong>19</strong>86 – before Cullen<br />

came along, winning his first<br />

race on November 22, <strong>19</strong>96 at<br />

Addington.<br />

By the time Cullen retired in<br />

June 2000, with recurrent leg<br />

problems, he had captured everyone’s<br />

hearts with his arrogant<br />

pacing style, winning some of<br />

the most coveted prizes in harness<br />

racing, including the New<br />

Zealand Cup, Auckland Cup and<br />

Miracle Mile.<br />

When he left trainer Brian<br />

O’Meara’s stable he became the<br />

country’s champion sire, giving<br />

Dobson more prizes than he<br />

could fit in his trophy cabinets.<br />

Kennard recalls how Dobson<br />

prized the collection so much,<br />

he even contradicted the red<br />

sticker ban on his Redcliffs home<br />

to rescue the collection after<br />

the earthquake demolished his<br />

house in 2011.<br />

But among the racing trophies<br />

were also plenty of golfing<br />

memorabilia as Dobson for<br />

many years was a scratch golfer,<br />

Kennard said.<br />

nal finish line on 90th birthday<br />

“After one tournament he won,<br />

he was flown to Germany to pick<br />

up his prize, a Mercedes car.<br />

“Golf meant a lot to him.<br />

He played and beat Michael<br />

Campbell at Kauri Cliffs one<br />

year.”<br />

Dobson went on to breed and<br />

race a horse with Campbell who,<br />

named Cambo, won first-up at<br />

Timaru in September 2007.<br />

“He also caddied for Gary<br />

Player and I remember Dobbie<br />

telling me the story about how<br />

Player asked him for a club<br />

and Dobbie said, ‘No, that’s the<br />

wrong one. Trust me, I know’. He<br />

was proven right.”<br />

Dobson, a good all round<br />

sportsman, proved a generous<br />

benefactor for golf, paying for an<br />

extension to the Christchurch<br />

Golf Club and funding initiatives<br />

to help juniors progress up the<br />

ranks.<br />

Dobson didn’t always have<br />

money. He came from very<br />

humble beginnings, growing up<br />

in the Depression, biking to work<br />

where he earned 10 bob a week as<br />

a plumber.<br />

Dobson lived on 10 per cent<br />

of his income, saving the rest,<br />

and eventually set up his own<br />

business, before moving into<br />

buying real estate.<br />

“On the one hand he was very<br />

scrupulous and on the other<br />

incredibly generous with his<br />

passions.”<br />

Kennard admired Dobson<br />

for his unrelenting calmness in<br />

racing, which routinely threw up<br />

setbacks.<br />

“When his horses lost, not<br />

once did I ever hear him criticise<br />

BEST:<br />

Christian<br />

Cullen beats<br />

Iraklis to win<br />

the <strong>19</strong>98<br />

New Zealand<br />

Trotting Cup.<br />

SPORTSMAN: Dobson was also a keen golfer, caddying for Gary Player (left) and once<br />

beating champion golfer Michael Campbell, who raced Cambo with Ian Dobson.<br />

the driver. And when Muscle<br />

Mountain got taken out at<br />

the start (badly checked) at<br />

Addington recently he copped it<br />

on the chin, saying it was just one<br />

of those things.”<br />

Dobson took the same c’est la<br />

vie approach early on to Muscle<br />

Mountain whom he bred and put<br />

through the ring as a yearling,<br />

only to pass him in for $40,000.<br />

“He wasn’t prepared to let him<br />

go for that. If the horse was no<br />

good and he ended up losing, so<br />

be it.”<br />

Muscle Mountain was clearly<br />

the best of the 10 trotters Dobson<br />

raced, giving him his first Group<br />

I win as a breeder when he took<br />

the NZ Trotting Championship<br />

in April 2021.<br />

Dobson raced 10 trotters who<br />

collectively won 64 races but<br />

most of his success came with<br />

pacers.<br />

His first Group I win as<br />

an owner came in 2009 with<br />

Joyfuljoy and, while he enjoyed<br />

scores of winners in the<br />

intervening years, he had to wait<br />

until April 2021 for the next one.<br />

Dobson is survived by<br />

his partner Janice, son<br />

Stuart, daughter Lynne, four<br />

grandchildren and seven greatgrandchildren.<br />

Lynne Dobson said she will<br />

remember her dad as a great<br />

father and family man.<br />

“We didn’t have a lot of money<br />

in those days – there were no<br />

huge family holidays – but we’d<br />

go away a lot to the West Coast<br />

and the country race meetings.<br />

“He was quite hard on me but<br />

very fair and brought us up to<br />

show respect.<br />

“I remember him saying: ‘What<br />

you do in life is look after your<br />

family and work hard’, which I’ve<br />

taken on board.”<br />

‘skunk<br />

cabbage’<br />

PERFECT FOR brightening pond<br />

edges, lysichiton americanus is<br />

native to parts of northwestern<br />

America, and thrives in boggy areas,<br />

growing in marshes, swamps<br />

and forested wetlands.<br />

<strong>The</strong> unfortunate, but more<br />

familiar, common name “skunk<br />

cabbage” refers to its musty smell;<br />

the plant uses its smell to attract<br />

pollinators such as flies and<br />

beetles.<br />

This herbaceous perennial<br />

forms a basal rosette of large<br />

glossy leaves growing up to 1.5m<br />

in length. <strong>The</strong> spadix, which is<br />

covered in small greenish-yellow<br />

flowers in the right conditions,<br />

can also reach over 1m in height<br />

and is surrounded by a bright<br />

vibrant yellow spathe.<br />

Adult plants take about five<br />

years to seed. You can propagate<br />

by division or from its berry-like<br />

fruit, however these will require<br />

stratification – a technique to<br />

artificially create cool winter<br />

conditions so once sown, the seed<br />

thinks it is spring. Alternatively,<br />

if left alone, this slow-spreading<br />

plant propagates itself by fallen<br />

seed from the wilting spadix.<br />

–ODT<br />

OCTOBER IS an important<br />

month in the garden calendar.<br />

Seeds sown this month pop up<br />

quickly and there are usually few<br />

checks to growth during the early<br />

summer months.<br />

<strong>The</strong> ideal time to sow seeds is<br />

as soon as the soil is fit to work<br />

after rain but in dry weather,<br />

water the ground well the day<br />

before sowing.<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />

Sowing the seeds of spring<br />

Vegetables<br />

To obtain successive crops<br />

of peas, sow a quick-maturing<br />

variety and a main crop now.<br />

Novella will produce plump pods<br />

in nine to 11 weeks from sowing.<br />

Greenfeast takes 11 to 13 weeks<br />

so, by sowing them at the same<br />

time, the later crop is ready as<br />

the first tails off.<br />

Peas require only a little lime<br />

and grow best where the summer<br />

is not too hot or dry. Keep the<br />

soil moist by working in plenty of<br />

compost or well-rotted manure.<br />

To offset dry, light soil, sow peas<br />

in trenches of compost with a<br />

layer of absorbent material, such<br />

as peat or sphagnum moss, in the<br />

bottom to hold moisture. Cover<br />

the compost with a thin (5cm)<br />

layer of ordinary soil and keep<br />

the top of the trench 2cm to 5cm<br />

below the surrounding ground.<br />

Asparagus may still be planted.<br />

Two- or three-year-old crowns,<br />

looking rather like small octopuses,<br />

can be bought from<br />

garden centres and give faster<br />

results than growing from seed.<br />

<strong>The</strong> most important factor in<br />

succeeding with this hardy<br />

perennial vegetable is well-prepared<br />

ground, rich in compost<br />

and ideally with seaweed worked<br />

into it. Allow 40cm between each<br />

plant, place in position 10cm<br />

below the ground, spreading the<br />

roots as widely as possible, then<br />

cover with fine soil. Avoid the<br />

temptation to harvest in the first<br />

year and the reward will be better<br />

crops in the future.<br />

Flowers<br />

Narcissi and other bulbous<br />

plants that have finished flowering<br />

must be left for another<br />

couple of months until their<br />

leaves die away. Until that happens,<br />

leaves are creating food for<br />

the bulbs. If bulbs have to be removed<br />

after flowering but before<br />

the leaves have died down, lift<br />

carefully with the leaves intact.<br />

Lay bulbs in shallow trenches,<br />

cover with soil and lift again<br />

when the foliage has died away.<br />

A widespread curse is the<br />

narcissus fly, which looks like a<br />

small bumble-bee and lays its<br />

eggs in November at the base of<br />

the foliage. <strong>The</strong> grub hatches and<br />

burrows into the bulb, where it<br />

grows to resemble a large maggot,<br />

turning the centre of the<br />

bulb into brown sludge. Covering<br />

the bulbs after flowering with<br />

fine shade cloth or pea straw<br />

will keep out the flies but is not<br />

a good look. Growing narcissi<br />

in pots, then covering with pea<br />

straw after flowering and putting<br />

the pots out of sight under cover<br />

can be a better option.<br />

Some gardeners say a puff of<br />

household fly spray in the centre<br />

of the bulb helps deter the flies,<br />

while an old English technique<br />

is to place a mothball on top of<br />

each bulb when planting new<br />

bulbs, as the camphor smell<br />

repels the grubs.<br />

It flourishes in well-limed soil<br />

and self-seeds freely.<br />

Fruit<br />

Even in a small garden, some<br />

fruit can be grown, notably<br />

strawberries and gooseberries.<br />

Strawberries can be grown in<br />

a ceramic planter or used as a<br />

border to a garden bed, while<br />

gooseberries lend themselves to<br />

being grown as standards in pots.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y also can be planted along<br />

a wire or fence, a simple form of<br />

espaliering that makes the fruit<br />

easier to harvest.<br />
