MAUGER DOES IT AGAIN!<br />
Mayor insists removal<br />
of trailer no PR stunt<br />
• By Daniel Alvey<br />
NO PUBLICITY stunts to see<br />
here.<br />
That’s what Mayor Phil<br />
Mauger says after he shifted<br />
an abandoned and graffitied<br />
trailer unit a day before he<br />
launched his campaign for<br />
re-election.<br />
Not for the first time,<br />
Mauger took matters into his<br />
own hands, moving the trailer<br />
unit in Aranui at the weekend<br />
after eight months of residents’<br />
complaints of inaction by the<br />
city council.<br />
Cuthberts Rd residents said<br />
the trailer unit was an eyesore<br />
and blocked their view.<br />
So was this a back to the future<br />
headline-grabber leading<br />
into an election?<br />
In 2020, when he was the<br />
Burwood Ward councillor,<br />
he took matters into his own<br />
hands, digging a trench to<br />
solve flooding on Pages Rd,<br />
Bexley, a problem that had<br />
gone unfixed for 10 years. He<br />
was fined $300 in 2021.<br />
He received a lot of publicity<br />
and kudos. He ran for mayor<br />
the following year.<br />
Also in 2020, Mauger fixed<br />
a section of potholes along<br />
Birchfield Ave, Dallington.<br />

TAKING ACTION; Mayor Phil Mauger moved an abandoned trailer that had been<br />
frustrating Aranui residents one day before he announced his re-election bid.<br />

Ballantynes<br />
fire plaques<br />
stolen from<br />
memorial<br />
will be<br />
replaced<br />
STOLEN PLAQUES from some<br />
of Christchurch’s worst tragedies<br />
will be replaced.<br />
Twenty-three of the 41 individual<br />
bronze plaques for victims<br />
of the Ballantynes fire on November<br />
18, 1947, were stolen over<br />
the weekend from Ruru Lawn<br />
Cemetery in Bromley.<br />
One row of the memorial had<br />
been completely stripped by<br />
vandals.<br />
At least seven plaques from<br />
wooden benches throughout the<br />
cemetery were also targeted –<br />
some of which were left damaged<br />
by the removal process.<br />
City council head of parks Rupert<br />
Bool said the theft had been<br />
reported to police and the plaques<br />
would be replaced.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> council is concerned about<br />
the disappearance of historic<br />
plaques, which commemorate<br />
significant events and individuals<br />
that have shaped our city.”<br />
Bool said the council “is looking<br />
at new ways to deter thefts”.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Ballantynes memorial<br />
was built by the city council to<br />
remember those who perished in<br />
the fire.<br />
<strong>The</strong> thefts continue a trend<br />
of plaques disappearing from<br />
cemeteries and other historic sites<br />
in Christchurch.<br />

SIMON BARNETT is back on<br />
the airwaves at More FM.<br />
Barnett returned as host of<br />
the More FM breakfast show on<br />
Monday morning. He spent 20<br />
years on More FM before he left<br />
the station in 2018.<br />
His return comes<br />
after Barnett’s wife Jodi<br />
died peacefully at the couple’s<br />
Christchurch home in October<br />
20<strong>23</strong> after a five-and-a-half-year<br />
battle with brain cancer.<br />
Jodi had undergone four<br />
brain surgeries, chemotherapy<br />
and radiation treatment since<br />
April 2018, when she suffered<br />
a seizure out of the blue at<br />
home.<br />
Barnett told Your Weekend<br />
his decision to return to radio<br />
was part of his healing process.<br />
“This is a very intentional<br />
decision on my part, I want to<br />
find joy again in my life . . . my<br />
job is to try and make people’s<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
lives better,” he said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> thing in the sadness is<br />
when you find the moment of<br />
joy, you really celebrate that.”<br />
Barnett told Your Weekend<br />
his return to More FM felt<br />
like coming “home”.<br />
He has rejoined colleagues,<br />
including Lana Cochrane-<br />
Searle, Adam Percival, and<br />
Paul Ego.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re’s this lovely sense of a<br />
city coming to life with breakfast<br />
radio. <strong>The</strong> city is waking up<br />
and you are a part of it,” he said.<br />
“Truly, it sounds like a<br />
cliche but for me it will be like<br />
walking in the front door of<br />
the family home after doing my<br />
OE for a few years . . . kicking<br />
off the shoes, putting on my<br />
lounge pants, jumping up<br />
on the couch and putting on<br />
Netflix! It just feels right! I love<br />
this radio station and what it<br />
represents.”<br />

IF YOU WERE in the United<br />

BBC’s Good Morning Show.<br />
Or maybe as an unbeaten New<br />
Zealand aerobics champion.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se days, he’s a bit of a legend<br />
at city council group fitness<br />
classes where he’s taught for the<br />
past 14 years.<br />
“I’ve been teaching group fitness<br />
since 1990 and was previously<br />
a triathlete, motorcross rider,<br />
footballer and golfer,” he said.<br />
“But I started out aerobics attending<br />
conventions overseas in<br />
the late ‘80s and thought ‘I could<br />
do that’ even though I had no<br />
prior experience. I then actually<br />
entered an aerobics championship<br />
in the South Island where I<br />
placed second.<br />
“I travelled to London in the<br />
early 90s and taught in many<br />
of the illustrious city clubs. I<br />

<strong>The</strong> pair also represented New<br />

seventh in the world and won<br />
bronze medal at the European<br />
open championships.<br />
Rob took up a role at the city<br />
council in 2010 and is now a<br />
training advisor, supporting<br />
group fitness instructors across<br />
six recreation and sports centres.<br />
He also hasn’t given up teaching,<br />
getting at least one class in<br />
a day and bringing his vibrant,<br />
aerobic flair. He would encourage<br />
anyone to head along.<br />
“We cater for 14–90 plus year<br />

environment, you move, get<br />

Is this NZ’s favourite suburb?<br />
• By Jack Ward<br />
SOUTHSHORE doesn’t have a<br />
pub, cafe or dairy – yet it has still<br />
been nominated as one of New<br />
Zealand’s favourite suburbs.<br />
It is in the running for Trade<br />
Me Property’s inaugural people’s<br />
choicest award.<br />
But there could be a problem<br />
– there are reports of swarms of<br />
midges invading the area.<br />
But Ian Campbell, 80, who has<br />
lived in the suburb for 45 years,<br />
says this is not correct.<br />
He has not had any issues<br />
with midges in the area or at his<br />
favourite spots – the estuary and<br />
the beach.<br />
Rockinghorse Rd renters Mark<br />
and Jo Brokenshire love being<br />
away from the hustle and bustle<br />
of the city. <strong>The</strong> couple and their<br />
two-year-old schnauzer dog,<br />
Tanzie, have been making the<br />
most of what the suburb has to<br />
offer.<br />
“It is very much a dog-walking<br />
community. We are lucky with<br />
the walks around and the beach.”<br />
Carol Lawson has lived in<br />
Southshore for 24 years.<br />
“It’s hard to beat, the sunrise<br />
comes out of the ocean – you<br />
walk down from your house and<br />
you’re in nature,” she said.<br />
Southshore is up against<br />
Morrinsville in Waikato and<br />
Pāpāmoa in the Bay of Plenty for<br />
the choicest award.<br />
COMMUNITY: Southshore has been nominated for Trade Me Property’s inaugural people’s choicest award, despite dealing with<br />
swarms of midges. Right – Jo and Mark Brokenshire with their dog Tanzie and Ian Campbell outside his Southshore home.<br />

Voting is open on the TradeMe<br />
website until February 14.<br />
But as the suburb makes its<br />
run for the award, Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood<br />
Community<br />
Board member<br />
Alex Hewison said<br />
he has heard about<br />
swarms of midges<br />
in Southshore.<br />
Alex<br />
Hewison<br />
“One resident<br />
on Heron St said<br />
the Heron St beach<br />
access at the top of the dunes was<br />
bad. “And the swarms driving<br />
between the ponds were awful.<br />
“Literally millions of them<br />
swarming above the plants.<br />
“When you have a wet summer<br />
the midges tend to come but we<br />
haven’t seen to this extent ever in<br />
my opinion. It’s very apocalypticlike.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> swarms are likely being<br />
caused by algae at the wastewater<br />
treatment plant oxidation ponds<br />
in Bromley.<br />
Coastal Ward councillor<br />
Celeste Donovan and Hewison<br />
are working with council staff to<br />
solve the midge problem.<br />
“Celeste and I have been<br />
working to pass on concerns<br />
to staff and remain committed<br />
to working with staff for a way<br />
forward,” Hewison said<br />
Donovan said the nomination<br />
was “recognition of what many<br />
of us know – we are living in<br />
paradise”.<br />
“Southshore is quite unique<br />
with its sense of community and<br />
sense of place.”<br />
Almost 200 properties were<br />
demolished in Southshore after<br />
the February 22, 2011, earthquake.<br />
Donovan said the award<br />
nomination was a sign of the<br />
suburb’s resurgence.<br />
“People out here pulled<br />
together after the earthquakes and<br />
what I’ve noticed is<br />
a continuation of<br />
that sense of pride<br />
and community<br />
that is not always<br />
recognised. This<br />
is a special part of<br />
Celeste<br />
Donovan<br />
Christchurch. We<br />
are lucky to have<br />
access to such a<br />
wonderful natural environment,”<br />
Donovan said.<br />

It followed complaints from<br />
nearby residents, costing his<br />
company, Maugers Contracting<br />
Ltd, $4000.<br />
<strong>The</strong> work was done without<br />
the knowledge of the city<br />
council and came about two<br />
months after Mauger undertook<br />
repair works to a walkway<br />
beneath New Brighton’s Anzac<br />
bridge, also without city council<br />
permission.<br />
During the 2019 election<br />
campaign, Mauger used a digger<br />
to remove piles of shingle in a<br />
car park near Bower bridge on<br />
Wainoni Rd, which had been<br />
there since the earthquakes,<br />
even though the city council<br />
planned to remove the shingle at<br />
a later date.<br />
Said Mauger<br />
of the trailer<br />
removal: “I<br />
thought, bugger<br />
that and borrowed<br />
a truck<br />
from my son-inlaw<br />
to move the<br />
truck away from<br />
the homes.”<br />
His mayoralty rival, Sara<br />
Templeton, would not be drawn<br />
when asked if she thought it<br />
was a publicity stunt. She said<br />
people would draw their own<br />
conclusions.<br />
“But it’s clear that had he simply<br />
asked staff on Monday morning<br />
he would have found out they<br />
now had the information to be<br />
able to move it.”<br />
City council transport<br />
operations manager Stephen<br />
Wright said staff received<br />
permission to tow the trailer on<br />
Monday morning.<br />
“Parking compliance had been<br />
trying to obtain information<br />
from the registered owner as<br />
to which finance company<br />
the trailer unit had been<br />
surrendered to. We received<br />
information over the weekend,<br />
which enabled us to action the<br />

Sara<br />
Templeton<br />
UNAUTHORISED: In 2021, Phil Mauger was fined $300 for<br />
digging a trench to solve flooding on Pages Rd, Bexley.<br />
removal of the trailer.”<br />
Wright said it was always<br />
going to be removed once the<br />
required information was<br />
obtained.<br />
Also on Monday, Mauger<br />
was forced to announce his<br />
re-election bid early after<br />
his campaign website was<br />
accidentally made public.<br />
“I was about a week away<br />
from launching, but that’s<br />
life and it’s turned out okay,”<br />
Mauger said.<br />
As part of his re-election<br />
campaign, Mauger says he plans<br />
to look at anything that would<br />
bring down rates, including<br />

cutting services or selling assets.<br />
Mauger told media cutting<br />
library and pool hours, mowing<br />
lawns less, and adjusting rubbish<br />
collection were discussions<br />
that could be had to bring rates<br />
down.<br />
In response, Templeton said<br />
she was not opposed to reducing<br />
services but said it should be<br />
something the residents had to<br />
decide.<br />
Templeton said her idea would<br />
present a pick-and-choose<br />
model, in which residents could<br />
see the difference reducing<br />
services would have on their<br />
rates.<br />
Mauger is also still interested<br />
in exploring asset sales.<br />
While he did not say whether<br />
the city should sell its assets like<br />
the airport or Lyttelton Port,<br />
he was open to discussing the<br />
matter.<br />
Because Templeton sits on<br />
the board of Christchurch City<br />
Holdings Ltd, she did not take<br />
part in the vote or discussion<br />

Running champ has run every City2Surf<br />
• By Sam Coughlan<br />
“I DO A LOT of the hill work,<br />
so when I come off the hills, I’m<br />
ready to fly.<br />
“ I’m small, but I’m very strong,<br />
and I get my power off the hills<br />
and doing 1kms.<br />
“You don’t come training with<br />
me because I don’t wait for you!”<br />
That’s the mantra of City2Surf<br />
stalwart John Mulvaney, who is<br />
lining up yet again on March 16.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 78-year-old has entered<br />
the fun run every year since it<br />
started in 1975 – bar 2011 when<br />
it was cancelled following the<br />
February earthquake and 2020<br />
when it wasn’t held due to the<br />
Covid-19 pandemic.<br />
He will be one of more than<br />
10,000 runners taking part in<br />
this year’s CORDE City2Surf.<br />
John will run the full 12km<br />
course and aims to keep a good<br />
pace, after clocking 1hr 34min<br />
last year.<br />
“ I’m definitely looking forward<br />
to it. Because it’s so relaxing on<br />
the day, there’s no pressure.”<br />
John said his favourite aspect<br />
of the City2Surf is the benefit it<br />
has for himself and others.<br />
“ It’s doing good for my health<br />
and body, by inspiring people.<br />
Over the years there’s been a lot<br />
of joy in the fun runs and the<br />
City2Surf, and the fact that I’m<br />
out there doing it.”<br />
John pounds the pavement for<br />
LEGACY: John Mulvaney first competed in the City2Surf in 1975. He’s run every one since,<br />
and will line up again this year.<br />

hours on end nearly every day.<br />
He has run more than 180,000<br />
miles (nearly 290,000km) since<br />
he started to keep logbooks in<br />
1972.<br />
Most cars would start to fail<br />
at that mileage, but John is as<br />
strong as ever.<br />
He still competes, running<br />
for the Christchurch Methodist<br />
Harriers. He will be at the<br />
New Zealand Masters Games<br />
in Whanganui starting <strong>January</strong><br />
31, lining up in every possible<br />
distance from the 60m to the<br />
3000m.<br />
“ I’ve always been a competitive<br />
natured person,” he said.<br />
“Why should I (stop)?<br />
“I intend to be the best in New<br />
Zealand, and all going well, there’s<br />
no reason I shouldn’t get there.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> throes of medals that<br />
adorn the walls of his Dallington<br />
home, where he lives with wife<br />
Ann, point to the success he has<br />
had since starting at master’s<br />
level at 35.<br />
While John never ran for<br />
New Zealand – although he did<br />
represent Canterbury in track<br />
and cross country – he has been<br />
involved in two of the world’s<br />
biggest competitions.<br />
John was a marshall for the<br />
marathon at the Commonwealth<br />
Games in Christchurch in 1974,<br />
and in 2000 carried the Olympic<br />
torch while it was in Christchurch<br />
en route to Sydney.<br />
“It was an honour. I never<br />
thought I’d be doing that, you<br />
had hundreds of people coming<br />
out into the streets just to see<br />
you, wish you well.<br />
“I roughly remember I ran in<br />
Burnside, and then I handed on<br />
to a New Zealand rep basketball<br />
player, but even being in the bus<br />
with those guys, it was a buzz.”<br />
John also ran the Sydney to<br />
Surf in 1975. He was one of four<br />
runners from the St Martins<br />
Athletic and Harrier Club<br />
who took part.<br />
He plans to keep doing the<br />
CORDE City2Surf as long as he<br />
can.<br />
“I think to myself that because<br />
of my competitive nature, if I<br />
wasn’t able to run the next, I<br />
would definitely be walking. It’s<br />
just me.”<br />

Tsunami evacuation<br />
plan to be rolled out<br />

GETTING REST home<br />
residents to safety quickly in the<br />
event of a tsunami is a focus of a<br />
new natural disaster evacuation<br />
plan.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Sumner Community<br />
Residents’ Association has<br />
finalised an evacuation plan,<br />
which it will be communicating<br />
to residents over the next two<br />
months.<br />
A major undersea earthquake<br />
close to shore could trigger a<br />
tsunami that may arrive quickly,<br />
meaning people would need<br />
to evacuate to higher ground<br />
immediately.<br />
Another focus of the plan is<br />
to get people to cycle or walk to<br />
higher ground, instead of taking<br />
their cars, to avoid causing a<br />
traffic bottlenecks.<br />
Residents will be instructed to<br />
get above a 20m elevation mark<br />
on Richmond, Scarborough and<br />
Clifton hills.<br />
Evacuation plan organiser<br />
Alicia Mallo said it aims to<br />
“educate residents about how<br />
to help neighbours who are<br />
vulnerable, mainly elderly and<br />
children”.<br />
<strong>The</strong> emergency plan has been<br />
a long running project for the<br />
association over the past few<br />
years.<br />
Association chair Andrea<br />
Davis said it has not been able<br />
to get the plan across the line<br />
due to a combination of those<br />
in charge not able to take on<br />
the workload and the issue not<br />
being dealt with by councils.<br />
Davis said the association is<br />
organising vehicles and gauging<br />
people to be volunteer drivers<br />
to help evacuate Edith Cavell<br />
Lifecare and Village residents.<br />
<strong>The</strong> association has also been<br />
given a $1500 community grant<br />
for grab bags for Edith Cavell<br />
that includes essential items –<br />
such as flashlights, water, food<br />
and medicines.<br />
<strong>The</strong> association will also be<br />
requesting council put up signs<br />
on the esplanade indicating<br />
to visitors where the nearest<br />
evacuation zones are as well<br />
as put markings on the hills<br />
specifying where the point of<br />
safety is.<br />
<strong>The</strong> association’s next step<br />
is to establish emergency hubs<br />
for residents who are unable to<br />
return to their homes following<br />
the tsunami.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se hubs will provide<br />
displaced people with essentials<br />
to last them at least a couple<br />
of days – first aid, satellite<br />
phones, food, water. Davis<br />
said the February 22, 2011,<br />
earthquake made an immediate,<br />
but temporary, impact on the<br />
community’s readiness, but<br />
people have become less diligent<br />
as time has gone on.<br />
Cathy’s Go-To for Joint Support<br />
Cathy loves her walks, cycling,<br />
and staying involved in local<br />
sports.<br />
“We became technical<br />
officials for Tri NZ and so we<br />
officiate at different events. I’ve<br />
walked for years. I used to run<br />
back in the day but I’ve never<br />
been a particularly great runner,”<br />
Cathy explained.<br />
Her love for staying active<br />
grew as her youngest child got<br />
involved in triathlon and cycling.<br />
“So I had to get my own bike,”<br />
she added with a smile.<br />
In recent years, Cathy has<br />
taken up Pilates, finding it a bit<br />
gentler on her body as she ages.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> overall objective is to<br />
try and keep healthy and supple,<br />
which you never think is going<br />
to be a problem when you’re<br />
younger, but it starts to rear its<br />
head a little.”<br />
“I struggled a little bit and was<br />
recommended to try Koru FX,”<br />
she shared. Initially sceptical, she<br />
decided to give it a go because<br />
other options hadn’t worked for her.<br />
“It’s just handy to be able to put on<br />
your shoulder or your neck if you<br />
need a bit of support.”<br />
Cathy now uses Koru<br />
FX proactively. “I use it in an<br />
anticipatory way. If I’m heading<br />
NATURAL COMFORT... Cathy explains how she uses Koru FX to stay active and keep up whilst cycling.<br />
out on my bike, I think, ‘bother, I<br />
haven’t put any on,’ because when<br />
you don’t have it, you miss it and<br />
kick yourself for not getting it,”<br />
she admitted. “Having made sure<br />
you’ve applied the cream before you<br />
go definitely is a plus.”<br />
She finds the cream particularly<br />
beneficial for alleviating pressure<br />
on her hands from braking and<br />
changing gears during long rides.<br />
“It’s always good to get a bit of<br />
cream on there. You know it’s<br />
giving a little bit of support just in<br />
case.”<br />
For those considering a natural<br />
solution to support their joints and<br />
muscles, Cathy recommends giving<br />
Koru FX a try. “If someone was<br />
looking for a product, I would say<br />
give it a try because you don’t know<br />
until you try something.”<br />
But it’s not just Cathy - over<br />
60,913 New Zealanders have<br />
already experienced the fast-acting<br />
comfort and support of Koru FX<br />

War medals taken in burglary<br />
• By Jack Ward<br />
ALL CRAIG and Catherine<br />
Welsh want is the return of<br />
family heirlooms, including<br />
war medals, taken during the<br />
burglary of their home.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are now scouring social<br />
media sites, including Facebook<br />
Marketplace, and have been in<br />
contact with pawn shops, in the<br />
hope they will turn up.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir home in Rolleston was<br />
broken into two weekends ago<br />
when they were away on holiday.<br />
Catherine said the burglary<br />
was devastating.<br />
<strong>The</strong> burglar took her late father<br />
Corporal Doug Stanton’s military<br />
medals. He served in Malaya,<br />
Borneo, and Vietnam where<br />
he was wounded in the leg on<br />
Valentine’s Day 1968.<br />
Also taken were Craig’s<br />
grandfather’s (Lindsay Welsh)<br />
medals from World War 2,<br />
Catherine’s jewellery box that<br />
contained her father’s wedding<br />
ring, her own engagement ring, a<br />
kotuku bone carving given to her<br />
on her 21st birthday and a pair of<br />
greenstone earrings.<br />
She said her father would be<br />
angry about the theft.<br />
“He’d be pretty furious, not<br />
only did he serve but when<br />
he retired he was the area rep<br />
for the Hawke’s Bay Vietnam<br />
Association and president of the<br />
UPSET: Craig and Catherine<br />
Welsh and her father’s<br />
military medals which<br />
were stolen. If you can<br />
help find them, email<br />
barry@starmedia.kiwi<br />
PHOTO: BARRY CLARKE<br />
Taradale RSA,” she said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> medals represented much<br />
more than her father’s service.<br />
“It was everything he did, the<br />
ethos he lived by, his conduct as a<br />
soldier and a veteran. To us, as a<br />
family, you cannot replace that.”<br />
Catherine said she noticed<br />
immediately “something<br />
different” when they returned<br />
home – some of the curtains had<br />
been drawn. Once inside they<br />
quickly realised there had been a<br />
burglary.<br />
TVs had been unscrewed<br />
from walls and left on the floor,<br />
possibly indicating the burglar<br />
was going to return.<br />
Said Craig: “Drawers had been<br />
turned upside down, tools are<br />
missing, the kids’ Christmas cash<br />
– looks like stuff they can shove<br />
in their pockets.”<br />
<strong>The</strong>y soon realised the medals<br />
were also gone.<br />
<strong>The</strong> emotional damage of being<br />
broken into, particularly for their<br />
sons, was also evident.<br />
Catherine said it was difficult<br />
calling her brother about the loss<br />
of the medals. “In our family,<br />
medals are passed to the eldest<br />
sibling – they are not given, they<br />
are entrusted to – was hard calling<br />
my brother in Australia and<br />
hearing his voice crack,” she said.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y said they’ve been lucky<br />
with support from neighbours,<br />
and urged people to check in on<br />
each other if they notice something<br />
out of place.<br />
Said Craig: “I know how hard<br />
this is hurting Catherine, out<br />
of everything that was taken if<br />
Doug’s medals were returned it<br />
would help Catherine a lot – that<br />
one thing would make a big difference.”<br />
Said Catherine: “<strong>The</strong> mana<br />
and tapu of the medals is of<br />
such value that you cannot buy<br />
and sell. “For us, especially the<br />
medals, there’s no real monetary<br />
value for the thieves and buyers,<br />
but they’re invaluable to the ones<br />
who know and love the people<br />
who earned them.”<br />

THE HUMAN Rights Commission<br />
has received complaints over a music<br />
event that used a “racist” tiered ticketing<br />
structure which allowed people of Māori<br />
and Pasifika descent to buy cheaper<br />
tickets.<br />
But the Christchurch-based collective<br />
behind the event – which says it’s dedicated<br />
to creating safe, inclusive spaces for<br />
Māori and Pasifika communities – says<br />
the ticketing structure was designed to<br />
“remove barriers for indigenous people”<br />
and recognised systemic inequalities that<br />
have historically affected Māori and Pasifika<br />
communities.<br />
Brown Town Ōtautahi was set to host<br />
‘Waves: Sunday Session’ at bar Muy Muy<br />
on Sunday – an event it said would be an<br />
afternoon of “reckless abandonment under<br />
the summer sun”.<br />
But concerns were raised shortly after<br />
over the racially-tiered ticketing Brown<br />
Town adopted for the event.<br />
Tickets – sold via Australian ticketing<br />
platform Humanitix – were listed at three<br />
different price points: “Early bird (for<br />
all tangata): $15, tangata moana (for our<br />
Māori and Pacific tangata): $20 and tangata<br />
tiriti (for our allies): $30.”<br />
A commission spokesperson confirmed<br />
it had received 13 complaints about the<br />
event, but it could not provide any further<br />
details because of the Privacy Act.<br />

Race Relations Commissioner Melissa<br />
Derby said she encouraged all people to<br />
use approaches that “promote positive race<br />
relations and enhance harmonious relations”<br />
for all people in New Zealand.<br />
“While recognising the event organisers<br />
were well-intentioned in aiming to increase<br />
accessibility for their communities,<br />
there are alternative, non-discriminatory<br />
avenues which could also achieve the same<br />
outcome without the risk of perpetuating<br />
negative stereotypes about particular communities,”<br />
Derby said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> wording on the ticketing options<br />
has since been updated to “Early bird: $15,<br />
alofa access: $20, and ally access: $30.”<br />

MUIKA DODD has literally run<br />
off to join the circus.<br />
Dodd, 17, is the youngest<br />
performer in Circus Shenanigans,<br />
which will make its debut<br />
appearance at the World Buskers<br />
Festival, starting tomorrow.<br />
<strong>The</strong> festival will be a new experience<br />
for the entire cast.<br />
“It’s going to be difficult, it’s<br />
definitely a new experience, and I<br />
think I’ll enjoy it,” Dodd said.<br />
Apart from collecting tips from<br />
the audience after the show, Dodd<br />
is looking forward to memorising<br />
a script, experiencing live crowd<br />
participation and bringing an<br />
energy to match them.<br />
She describes Circus Shenanigans<br />
as lighthearted fun for the<br />
whole family, from juggling and<br />
darts to daring aerialist acts, where<br />
performers drop from the roof of<br />
the theatre.<br />
As part of the group’s performance,<br />
Dodd will be doing an<br />
aerial rope and hand balancing act<br />
at the buskers festival on Sunday<br />
at the Roy Stokes Hall in New<br />
Brighton.<br />
Circus Shenanigans will also be<br />
performing at the Arts Centre on<br />
February 1.<br />
Dodd has always had an affinity<br />
for the circus. Growing up she<br />
would watch her mum Teila teach<br />
the art form at the Christchurch<br />
Circus Trust, and through that,<br />
developed her own passion.<br />
She started her own training<br />
when she was seven and her first<br />
performance was for the circus<br />
trust with a troupe of teenagers,<br />
at just 10.<br />
“I just love being on the stage.”<br />
When performing, Dodd<br />
says she gets wrapped up in the<br />
intricate routines. Constantly<br />
thinking about the next steps can<br />
be stressful but it does not take<br />
anything away from her love of<br />
performing.<br />
Dodd said the atmosphere provided<br />
by the audience gives the<br />
performers something extra.<br />
“I think the louder the crowd is,<br />
the easier it is to perform.”<br />
While the performance on<br />
stage is important for Dodd, the<br />
feeling of family that develops off<br />
it is a big part of her enjoyment.<br />
“You spend a lot of time<br />
rehearsing with these people,<br />
and you just get really close with<br />
everyone.”<br />
Dodd finished up at Hagley<br />
College at the end of last year and<br />
is committed to turning her passion<br />
for circus into a career.<br />
She trains three to four times<br />
a week, with each session lasting<br />
three to four hours.<br />
“I try to train as much as<br />
possible, because it’s my dream to<br />
perform circus overseas.<br />
“It’s next level, so I’m definitely<br />
trying to get up there,” said Dodd.<br />

‘Old Pākehā men’ comment backlash<br />
• By Daniel Alvey<br />
THE CANTERBURY deputy<br />
mayor at the centre of a storm over<br />
his “old Pākehā men living in the<br />
past” comment continues to be<br />
unrepentant.<br />
Selwyn District Council’s Malcolm<br />
Lyall has received a public<br />
backlash over his comment made<br />
during a council debate on the<br />
Treaty Principles Bill.<br />
Lyall called supporters of the bill<br />
“old Pākehā men living in the<br />
past”.<br />
That led to Lincoln resident<br />
Stuart McKinlay complaining<br />
to the council, calling Lyall’s<br />
remarks “racist” and “offensive”.<br />
Lyall was unapologetic about<br />
the complaint, which was<br />
dismissed, saying it was “a badge<br />
of honour”.<br />
Now McKinlay has responded,<br />
calling Lyall’s response “stupid”.<br />
“This ridiculous statement by<br />
Malcolm Lyall coupled with his<br />
lack of respect for ratepayers who<br />
elected him to represent their<br />
interests, suggests he is not fit<br />
to hold the office of councillor,’<br />
McKinlay told <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong>.<br />
During the debate, Lyall<br />
said the council must continue<br />
supporting the treaty, “and not<br />
bow down to the pressure of<br />
Hobson’s Pledge and some old<br />
Pākehā men who are living in<br />
the past.”<br />
It was the phrase “some old<br />
Pākehā men who are living in<br />
the past” which was the subject<br />
of McKinlay’s complaint.<br />
Lyall told <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> while his<br />
comments in the meeting were<br />
directed at Hobson’s Pledge, a<br />
lobby group founded by former<br />
Act leader Don Brash in 2016, he<br />
also does not support “the old<br />
settler mentality”.<br />
Said McKinlay in response:<br />
“This racist comment by the<br />
deputy mayor was apparently<br />
quite acceptable to Mayor Sam<br />
Broughton and chief executive<br />
Sharon Mason when they<br />
decided no further action was<br />
to be taken in respect to my<br />
complaint.”<br />
Lyall, who would not say<br />
whether he is planning to run<br />
for council again in this year’s<br />
election, told <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> McKinlay<br />
should “put his money where his<br />
mouth is” and run for council<br />
himself.<br />
McKinlay called out the other<br />
councillors who supported<br />
making a submission.<br />
“Other councillors who<br />
supported making a submission<br />
opposing the Treaty Principles<br />
Bill did so because of their<br />
mistaken belief that New<br />
Zealand is a bicultural society.<br />
Māori and non-Māori, and cogovernance<br />
of local government<br />
is therefore consistent with their<br />
understanding of the treaty.<br />
“Equality between Māori and<br />
non-Māori, the essence of Act’s<br />
Treaty Principles Bill, would<br />
see the end of co-governance<br />
and the abandonment of special<br />
rights and privileges for Māori,”<br />
McKinlay said.<br />
Lyall was aware his views on<br />
the issue could lose him votes<br />
if he decides to stand again, but<br />
said he was not worried.<br />
STRONG<br />
VIEWS: Malcolm<br />
Lyall has put up<br />
a sign outside<br />
his home in<br />
support of<br />
the Treaty<br />
of Waitangi.<br />

GEOFF SLOAN<br />
During the meeting in<br />
December where Lyall made<br />
his comments, the council<br />
debated what would be included<br />
in its submission, as the views<br />
of ratepayers’ had not been<br />
canvassed.<br />
In its submission, the council<br />
focused on how the bill would<br />
affect its operations and<br />
partnerships, which includes<br />
providing a seat around the<br />
council table for local iwi.<br />

Adventurers getting a glimpse<br />
<strong>The</strong> post-quake city<br />
was a haven for<br />
urban explorers, but<br />
as derelict buildings<br />
are demolished, they<br />
are looking for new<br />
adventures. Dylan<br />
Smits reports<br />
MIKE, 25, HAS been an urban<br />
explorer for the past eight years,<br />
having scaled the old Rydges<br />
Hotel and explored the nowclosed<br />
wards of <strong>The</strong> Princess<br />
Margaret Hospital.<br />
“I think it’s a bit of a lifestyle<br />
for sure. You can do it more<br />
casually but I think it’s better<br />
when people treat exploring with<br />
a bit more respect,” he said.<br />
Mike is a pseudonym as he<br />
wishes to remain anonymous.<br />
For those interested in urban<br />
exploring (urbex) Mike said it is<br />
important to follow the rules and<br />
be prepared.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is a loose code of conduct<br />
for urbex, including no<br />
damage to property, no forced<br />
entry, never exploring alone<br />
and only exploring unoccupied<br />
premises.<br />
“You definitely need to dress<br />
appropriately and wearing gloves<br />
and a headlamp is best,” said<br />
Mike.<br />
DISCOVER: <strong>The</strong> abandoned Harley Buildings on the corner of Cambridge Tce and Worcester<br />
St were built in 1929 as a centre for doctor and dentist offices. Mike enjoys exploring them<br />
due to the large amount of remaining furniture and equipment.<br />
Early in his urban exploring<br />
days, Mike and his mates were<br />
more daring.<br />
As a self described “dumb”<br />
17-year-old, he snuck into the<br />
abandoned Rydges Hotel to see<br />
the penthouse view from the<br />
roof, but ended up running from<br />
the police.<br />
<strong>The</strong> central city hotel was<br />
closed in 2011 due to earthquake<br />
damage and is currently<br />
being renovated.<br />
“It’s really cool seeing places<br />
kind-of frozen in time from before<br />
the earthquakes. Christchurch<br />
is pretty unique in that<br />
way,” said Mike.<br />
After making a tricky climb<br />
over a fence and scaffolding,<br />
he and two friends were able<br />
to enter the second floor<br />
through a gap left in a wall after<br />
construction work.<br />
“It was a lot like other<br />
abandoned spots. It was pretty<br />
spooky. Some of it looks super<br />
untouched like bathrooms and<br />
some halls. <strong>The</strong>n other parts are<br />
covered in graffiti,” said Mike.<br />
After taking in the cityscape<br />
from the roof, Mike and his<br />
friends emerged from the hotel<br />
“It’s really cool seeing<br />
places kind of frozen<br />
in time from before<br />
the earthquakes.<br />
Christchurch is pretty<br />
unique in that way.”<br />
– Mike, urban explorer<br />
to find an angry police officer<br />
waiting for them.<br />
“Probably wouldn’t advise this<br />
these days, but we ran. We didn’t<br />
stop for ages and actually split<br />
up,” he said.<br />
A mechanic in his day job,<br />
Mike now tries to keep his exploring<br />
more sensible.<br />
“I’ll admit I was definitely a bit<br />
too reckless when I started, but<br />
being honest, that was part of the<br />
fun of it,” he said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> risk of getting caught can<br />
be really thrilling, but it’s important<br />
for anyone exploring that it’s<br />
not the main reason they do it.”<br />
A time when Mike was not so<br />
lucky was while exploring the<br />
empty wings of the shuttered<br />
Princess Margaret Hospital.<br />
“We got a good look in there<br />
and it’s probably one of the<br />
scarier places I’ve been. <strong>The</strong> place<br />
is huge and straight out of a horror<br />
movie,” he said.<br />
Somehow an alarm was<br />
tripped and security guards<br />
arrived demanding they leave.<br />

of city’s disappearing heritage<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y gave us a bit of a scolding<br />
and it was definitely a reminder to<br />
be more careful when choosing a<br />
location,” said Mike.<br />
He understands some property<br />
owners feel defensive of their property,<br />
but wishes they could recognise<br />
there are many responsible<br />
urban explorers.<br />
Mike tries to explore familiar<br />
abandoned buildings or find new<br />
ones most weekends.<br />
<strong>The</strong> thrill and challenge of<br />
entering restricted areas had the<br />
most appeal when he was younger,<br />
but as he’s aged Mike has gained<br />
greater appreciation for the<br />
local history of quake-damaged<br />
buildings.<br />
Two of his favourite places to<br />
return to are the Harley Buildings<br />
and Peterborough Apartments.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Harley Buildings, on the<br />
corner of Cambridge Tce and<br />
Worcester St, were built in 1929<br />
as a centre for doctor and dentist<br />
offices.<br />
“It’s got lots of cool stuff in there.<br />
Lots of (abandoned) spots are<br />
pretty empty but there’s still so<br />
much – kind-of retro equipment<br />
and furniture and files,” said Mike.<br />
<strong>The</strong> buildings are currently being<br />
demolished, which should be<br />
completed in about a month.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Peterborough Apartments,<br />
closed after the 2011 earthquakes,<br />
were built between 1924 and 1930.<br />
HISTORY: <strong>The</strong> Peterborough Apartments, closed after the 2011 earthquakes, were built<br />
between 1924 and 1930. <strong>The</strong> building is a favourite spot to revisit for urban explorer Mike.<br />
It housed the primary school<br />
teacher’s college until 1978.<br />
Later it became the Peterborough<br />
Centre and was occupied by<br />
various artistic groups until being<br />
converted into apartments in 1997.<br />
Mike always follows the rules of<br />
urbex by never taking anything,<br />
but he does enjoy examining any<br />
items left behind like old dental<br />
x-rays in the Harley Buildings<br />
or vintage medical equipment at<br />
Princess Margaret Hospital.<br />
“It’s sort of similar to tramping<br />
or mountain climbing where<br />
you’re able to discover new places<br />
on your own. <strong>The</strong>re’s not much<br />
else in life like that.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> Christchurch urbex community<br />
is smaller than it was last<br />
decade as more quake-damaged<br />
buildings are demolished.<br />
Although typically done by<br />
younger men, Mike says people of<br />
all ages, careers and backgrounds<br />
enjoy the hobby.<br />
“I had a girlfriend who got super<br />
into urbex and she really liked the<br />
photography side of things.<br />
“Most seem to think urbex is<br />
just young idiots just going into<br />
places and wrecking stuff.”<br />
It can be disappointing for him<br />
to see vandalism and crude graffiti<br />
in some abandoned spots.<br />
“Most actual urbex people don’t<br />
do that. <strong>The</strong>re are just some young<br />
guys who don’t show these places<br />
proper respect.”<br />
Born and raised in Christchurch,<br />
Mike said urbex should be<br />
about remembering the pre-quake<br />
past rather than any destructive<br />
behaviour.<br />
“A lot of these spots have a lot<br />
of history and it would have been<br />
cool if they could have not been<br />
damaged.”<br />
As more quake-damaged buildings<br />
get demolished, Mike believes<br />
urbex in Christchurch will change.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re is already a lot more<br />
urbex out in the suburbs these<br />
days. We’ll all be looking for more<br />
abandoned houses to explore.”<br />

1974 – THE FRIENDLY GAMES<br />
Held in Christchurch from<br />
<strong>January</strong> 24 to February<br />
2, 1974, the 10th British<br />
Commonwealth Games was<br />
dubbed “<strong>The</strong> Friendly Games”<br />
and had a joyful atmosphere<br />
– despite a strong security<br />
presence following the 1972<br />
Munich Olympics massacre.<br />
Dick Tayler’s 10,000m victory<br />
got the games off to a buoyant<br />
start. It closed just as strongly,<br />
with an epic battle for gold in<br />
the men’s 1500m between John<br />
Walker and Filbert Bayi. <strong>The</strong><br />
Tanzanian eventually won,<br />
with both men breaking the<br />
world record.<br />
Another notable games<br />
victory was Christchurch<br />
swimmer Jaynie Parkhouse in<br />
the 800m freestyle.<br />
<strong>The</strong> host nation came 4th in<br />
the medal tally, with 9 gold, 8<br />
silver and 18 bronze.<br />
It was the first time a city had<br />
asked the games federation to<br />
allow commercial advertising,<br />
which was voted down, but<br />
Christchurch got around this<br />
with the use of “sponsorship”.<br />
It included General Motors<br />
providing a fleet of Holden<br />
HQ Kingswoods to transport<br />
athletes, which were sold off<br />
afterwards.<br />
Although the games were<br />
a success, Christchurch was<br />
saddled with a significant debt.<br />
By 1990, when Auckland held<br />
the games, they had been fully<br />
commercialised.<br />
Fun facts:<br />
• <strong>The</strong> $4.5 million QEII<br />
stadium was built for the games<br />
and opened the year before<br />
• Sales of first day stamp<br />
covers issued totalled 10,000 in<br />
Christchurch on <strong>January</strong> 9<br />
• Several church halls were<br />
turned into makeshift accommodation,<br />
charging 50c a night<br />
after backpackers filled up<br />
• A total of 51,718 passengers<br />
passed through Christchurch<br />
Airport, far exceeding passenger<br />
density records<br />
• St John treated 832 people<br />
over the course of the games –<br />
566 at the track and field, and<br />
60 at the bowls<br />
• An imposter in the men’s<br />
marathon was stopped after he<br />
reportedly entered the race in<br />
black shorts and a singlet and<br />
tried to gain 11th place.<br />

Parents, teachers and the<br />
government investing in our future<br />
Like many of you, our children are getting prepared<br />
for the school year ahead. This can be an expensive<br />
and challenging time for families, but as a parent and<br />
an MP, I firmly believe that education is essential to<br />
building a brighter future both for our children and<br />
our country.<br />
Our National-led government has been committed<br />
to improving educational outcomes for all students,<br />
and we have implemented several key initiatives<br />
to ensure every child can succeed. Attendance<br />
is a priority, and we are pleased regular school<br />
attendance increased 5.3 percentage points from<br />
46% in Term 3 of 20<strong>23</strong> to 51.3% in Term 3, 2024, but<br />
we appreciate more needs to be done.<br />
Another change has been the requirement for<br />
primary and intermediate schools to dedicate, on<br />
average, one hour each day to teaching reading,<br />
writing, and maths. This foundational approach<br />
ensures students develop essential skills early on,<br />
setting them up for future academic success.<br />
To further enhance the learning environment, we<br />
have banned cell phone use in classrooms reducing<br />
distractions allowing teachers to focus on delivering<br />
high-quality instruction without interruptions.<br />
Term 1, <strong>2025</strong> sees the implementation of a structured<br />
literacy approach in all schools, including a $67<br />
million investment in professional development and<br />
resources for teachers, ensuring they have the tools<br />
and knowledge needed to deliver first-class<br />
literacy instruction.<br />
Likewise, we have launched a comprehensive maths<br />
action plan addressing New Zealand’s challenge in<br />
maths education, including the introduction of a<br />
new maths curriculum from Term 1, <strong>2025</strong>. We want<br />
to equip students with the mathematical skills they<br />
need to thrive in a rapidly changing world.<br />
Our government has also introduced six education<br />
priorities focused on lifting student achievement.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se include establishing a knowledge-rich<br />
curriculum, implementing evidence-based instruction<br />
in literacy and mathematics, developing consistent<br />
assessment methods, improving teacher training and<br />
development, strengthening learning support, and<br />
enhancing data-driven decision-making.<br />
To raise academic standards, and ensure our<br />
students are well-prepared for the challenges of<br />
the future, we have set an ambitious target to have<br />
80% of Year 8 students at or above the expected<br />
curriculum level in reading, writing, and maths by<br />
December 2030.<br />
Parents, teachers and the government can work<br />
together to create a world-leading education system<br />
and build a brighter future for our children and our<br />
nation.<br />
Best wishes for a successful and safe year ahead.<br />
Kind regards<br />

upping the pace<br />
This week we will step it up a bit more. <strong>The</strong> beginners group will progress to the stage that most of the walking is<br />
replaced by slow jogging and the intermediate group are starting to incorporate some efforts in zone 2. Remember<br />
that zone 1 is perceived as an easy effort which you can maintain for very long periods of time. In zone 2 you will get<br />
slightly puffed but you can still have a conversation. You go from jogging in zone 1 to a proper running movement in<br />
zone 2 with the main difference being that zone 1 has a slower rhythm, staying low to the ground where as zone 2 brings<br />
extra spring in your step combined with an increase in leg turnover (stride rate). <strong>The</strong> intermediate group introduces<br />
zone 2 pace as 2 minute repetitions alternated by 2 minute easy jogging. Zone 2 to 3 will be the recommended pace<br />
for the City to Surf event for the intermediate group while the beginners will mainly stay in zone 1 and 2.<br />
<strong>The</strong> difference between walking and jogging is not only decided by the rhythm of the movement but also how and<br />
where you land your feet. When jogging most efficiently you land on your mid-foot under the centre of gravity of the<br />
body, which, in the upright position, is located in the pelvis just behind the midline of the body. With a slight forward<br />
lean of the body you can use gravity to pull you forward while your legs keep you upright and push you in a forward<br />
direction. Walking is done in a more upright position and most of us land on our heel first and roll over the outside of<br />
our foot before pushing off with our forefoot. It helps to keep your core (lower abdomen, back, pelvis and hips) well<br />
supported by pushing your pelvis slightly forward. This will stop you from “sitting” and over striding.<br />

To achieve this goal you<br />
need to develop some<br />
awareness around the<br />
basic requirements of<br />
exercising for health and<br />
fitness. First and foremost<br />
this has to do with 3 key<br />
principles:<br />
1. How often do you train?<br />
To improve your level of health and<br />
fitness you will need to aim for 4 sessions<br />
per week. 2 or 3 sessions per week will only<br />
maintain what you have and 1 session per<br />
week is definitely not sufficient.<br />
2. How long are your sessions? <strong>The</strong> duration<br />
of your sessions will generally build towards<br />
between 30 and 50 minutes with one longer<br />
session of 60-80 minutes.<br />
3. What is the right intensity to train at? <strong>The</strong><br />
good thing about the programme is that all<br />
your runs will be done at submaximal pace,<br />
also called conversation pace. That means a<br />
pace where you can still talk. If you can’t talk<br />
you are going too fast and you are likely to<br />
come to a grinding halt sooner or later.<br />
This programme and accompanying information are written<br />
as a guide only. If you are concerned about your health at<br />
any stage please undergo a health check with your GP.<br />
tIP OF the WeeK<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is no need to bring fluids with you<br />
during the sessions as you are not exercising<br />
long and hard enough to cause serious<br />
dehydration. Even on warm (north-west)<br />
days it is sufficient to have a glass of water<br />
or juice just before you go out. You can<br />
re-hydrate on your return home, again with<br />
water and/or a glass of fruit juice. Taking<br />
fluids during exercise is generally not<br />
required until you start to exceed 90 minutes<br />
on a normal day and 60 minutes on a hot<br />
day (temperatures above 25 degrees).<br />

Return of imports a boost<br />
for Park’s premiership push<br />
• By Sam Coughlan<br />
ENGLISH ALL-rounder Fynn<br />
Hudson-Prentice will be looking<br />
to continue his good form with<br />
the bat in his third week back<br />
for Lancaster Park in the Metro<br />
Premiership.<br />
In his two innings so far this<br />
season, Hudson-Prentice has<br />
scored 79 off 49 balls against<br />
Heathcote, and a more steady 45<br />
against Sydenham last week, both<br />
in wins for Lancaster Park, who<br />
play East Shirley on Saturday.<br />
Hudson-Prentice, who turned<br />
out for Lancaster Park during<br />
2018 and 2019, plays for Sussex<br />
in the County Championship, is<br />
joined at Lancaster Park by fellow<br />
Englishman Will Harby from<br />
Kent’s second XI. Harby also<br />
played for Park last season.<br />
<strong>The</strong> pair will play for the<br />
remainder of the one-day competition,<br />
and one round of two-day<br />
competition, before returning to<br />
the UK for their pre-season.<br />
Lancaster Park skipper Angus<br />
Hamilton said the pair add a lot to<br />
the team.<br />
“ It’s awesome, especially with<br />
them both being all-rounders. It<br />
certainly helps with the balance of<br />
the team quite a lot.”<br />
Hudson-Prentice has taken<br />
85 first-class wickets and scored<br />
2286 runs in county cricket –<br />
with a high score of 99, in 2019<br />
while playing for Derbyshire.<br />
“ I got a ball on the hip that I<br />
tried to punish over square leg.<br />
And I just hit it straight up in<br />
the air,” he said of just missing<br />
his century.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> beans were going a little<br />
bit. I was a bit anxious to get off<br />
99. It was a pretty average shot.<br />
“That was five-and-a-half<br />
years ago now, and I still haven’t<br />
managed to get over the line (for<br />
a century).”<br />
CLASS: All-rounder Fynn Hudson-Prentice will play for Lancaster<br />
Park until the end of the 2024/25 season. <strong>The</strong> English import has<br />
scored more than 2000 first-class runs and taken 85 wickets in<br />
England’s County Championship.<br />
PHOTOS: GETTY<br />
He said it was far better to be<br />
playing club cricket and training<br />
with the Canterbury squad than<br />
training indoors during the<br />
English winter.<br />
“ It’s just nice to get away from<br />
freezing temperatures in the UK<br />
at the moment,” he said.<br />
“I think back home it’s about<br />
minus two, so it has been good<br />
to get away from that and spend<br />
some time in the sun.<br />
“(And) it’s just nice to get the<br />
opportunity at (Lancaster Park),<br />
they’ve been really good to me.”<br />
Lancaster Park are unbeaten<br />
and on track to contest the<br />
finals.<br />

In Brief<br />
Burke named in<br />
Scotland squad<br />
Former Crusaders and New<br />
Zealand under-20s first five-eighth<br />
Fergus Burke has been named<br />
in the Scotland squad for the<br />
upcoming Six Nations. Burke<br />
last year signed a three-year deal<br />
with London-based Gallagher<br />
Premiership club Saracens after<br />
starting at No 10 for the Crusaders.<br />
He made 37 appearances for the<br />
Crusaders and played 48 NPC<br />
matches for Canterbury. Burke<br />
will compete for the No 10 shirt<br />
with Finn Russell and Tom Jordan<br />
ahead of Scotland’s Six Nations<br />
opener against Italy on February 2.<br />
Phoenix back in town<br />
after nine year break<br />
<strong>The</strong> Wellington Phoenix will<br />
play in Christchurch for the first<br />
time in nine years on Saturday<br />
when they meet the Central Coast<br />
Mariners. <strong>The</strong> last A-League match<br />
to be played at Apollo Projects<br />
Stadium was in <strong>January</strong> 2016 – also<br />
against the Mariners, who beat<br />
the Phoenix 3-1. Both teams are<br />
coming off a win. <strong>The</strong> ninth-place<br />
Phoenix came from behind to beat<br />
Macarthur FC 2-1 on Monday<br />
with Kosta Barbarouses scoring<br />
his 100th A-League goal. <strong>The</strong><br />
10th-place Mariners beat Western<br />
Sydney Wanderers 3-1 on Friday.<br />
Kick-off is at 5pm.<br />
Young talents to join<br />
Australian competition<br />
Three of Canterbury’s most<br />
promising young women rugby<br />
league players have taken up<br />
opportunities in the <strong>2025</strong> Tarsha<br />
Gale Cup, the NSWRL’s elite<br />
under-19s competition. Hornby’s<br />
Kyra-Lee Westland and Linwood’s<br />
Dejah Tuliau have been selected<br />
in Penrith Panthers’ squad, while<br />
Hornby’s Manisha Seebeck<br />
joins Sydney Roosters. <strong>The</strong> trio<br />

Big month ahead for top<br />
Chch rowers at Ruataniwha<br />
• By Sam Coughlan<br />
CHRISTCHURCH rowing<br />
clubs are now turning their<br />
attention to the South Island<br />
championships, then the<br />
nationals, after successful results<br />
at the Canterbury Champs on<br />
Lake Ruataniwha in Twizel at the<br />
weekend.<br />
Avon took home 31 medals –<br />
the most of any Christchurch<br />
club, and second-most for the<br />
regatta behind Otago’s Dunstan<br />
Arm, on 38.<br />
Canterbury won 14, while St<br />
Bede’s College had the thirdmost<br />
for Christchurch crews<br />
with 13.<br />
Union and St Margaret’s College<br />
both won 11.<br />
Avon director of rowing Logan<br />
Keys said it had put them in<br />
good stead ahead of the South<br />
Island championships, also in<br />
Twizel from February 1-2, and<br />
the national championships in<br />
the same venue from February<br />
18-22.<br />
“ Four weeks until nationals,<br />
we’ve just got to make sure<br />
we keep getting faster quickly<br />
and have some smooth events,”<br />
he said.<br />
“ By South Islands we’re intending<br />
to have what we think<br />
we’ll be racing at nationals.”<br />
With three high-profile<br />
competitions in just five weeks,<br />
keeping the rowers fit and<br />
healthy was the priority, Keys<br />
said.<br />
“ <strong>The</strong> high performance<br />
group has access to the Apollo<br />
Centre and they train there with<br />
High Performance Sport New<br />
Zealand.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> other athletes have<br />
gaps in their programme to get<br />
strength and conditioning in the<br />
week as well.<br />
“Keeping them healthy, that<br />
was the biggest frustration we<br />
had at Canterbury Champs,<br />
25-30% of the squad had little<br />
sicknesses hanging around.”<br />
Sixteen Christchurch clubs and<br />
schools took home medals at the<br />
championships – with Cashmere<br />
High School winning the women’s<br />

<strong>The</strong>y said it<br />
“Sportsmanship for me is<br />
when a guy walks off the<br />
court and you really can’t<br />
tell whether he won or lost,<br />
when he carries himself with<br />
pride either way.”<br />
– Jim Courier, four-time<br />
tennis major winner<br />
“Competitive sports are<br />
played mainly on a five-anda-half<br />
inch court, the space<br />
between your ears.”<br />
– Bobby Jones, golf icon<br />
“One day of practice is like<br />
one day of clean living. It<br />
doesn’t do you any good.”<br />
– Abe Lemons, college<br />
basketball coach<br />
“This is really a lovely horse. I<br />
once rode her mother.”<br />
– Ted Walsh, Irish jockey<br />
turned racehorse trainer<br />
“Statistics are like bikinis<br />
– they show a lot but not<br />
everything.”<br />
– Lou Piniella, US baseball<br />
player and manager<br />
“I’ve missed more than 9000<br />
shots in my career. I’ve lost<br />
almost 300 games. 26 times,<br />
I’ve been trusted to take<br />
the game winning shot and<br />
missed. I’ve failed over and<br />
over and over again in my life.<br />
And that is why I succeed.”<br />
– Michael Jordan, NBA icon<br />
