High school closes

for two days after rats

damage fibre cable

Hillmorton High School has

been forced to close for two

days because rats have damaged

a fibre cable, taking out the

internet.

Students were asked to work

from home on Monday and

Tuesday while repairs were carried

out at the school.

In a school newsletter, principal

Sam Ainsworth said staff

discovered the problem on Monday

morning.

“Unfortunately, we have a

cabling issue with a core fibre

cable connection that has been

severely damaged by rodents

over the weekend. This fibre

connection is our main connection

to the school and as a result

of the damage, I have concerns

about managing the health and

safety of large numbers of students,”

he said.

“While I know that this will

not be a popular decision for

all and may be challenging for

many families, it is a decision we

have not taken lightly.”

Ainsworth said the school's

servers were down, there was

no wifi network or phone system

and staff had lost access to

CCTV.

Any assessments would be

rescheduled, he said.

“The cabling company will

spend all day [Tuesday] running

a new cable. We are confident

that even if the network is

not fully up and running, we

will have had time to make

provisions to ensure students

can return to school.” – RNZ

Voting records just a click

away with new search tool

Finding out how your councillor

voted on an issue has been made

easier, with a new search tool

launched on the city council

website.

The “Meeting voting records”

function allows users to quickly

look up how individual councillors,

community boards and

committees voted on specific

decisions, without having to dig

through agendas and minutes.

Until now, that information

often required trawling through

multiple meeting documents,

which are not always easy to

find or immediately published.

City council team leader of

governance processes Matt

Boult said the aim was to make

voting records more accessible

by allowing searches by

meeting, elected member, or

outcome.

“The intent of having this

online is to improve transparency

and make it easier for residents,

media, and elected members

themselves to quickly find and

review decision-making records

without having to trawl through

multiple meeting minutes.”

Boult said the tool was already

being used in a range of ways,

including by residents checking

how elected members voted on

specific issues, media verifying

decisions for reporting, elected

members reviewing their own

voting history, and community

groups tracking decisions relevant

to their interests.

The idea was first raised during

last year’s Annual Plan

discussions, when the city council

asked staff to explore ways

to improve transparency and

make more decision-making

information available online.

The database includes decisions

dating back to October

2025, with records uploaded

within two working days of each

meeting.

Users can search by keyword –

such as ‘Annual Plan’ – or refine

results by date and select the relevant

city council, committee or

community board meeting. It is

also possible to search by elected

member.

“Ratepayers elect members

to council to represent them so

being able to see how your local

board or councillor is voting is

important,” Boult said.

“This new tool makes it even

easier.”

Scamsters target Uber Eats outlets

BY BELLE JACKSON

A Vietnamese street food store

in Riccarton has been targetted

by scam callers posing as Uber

Eats support. But it is not the

only one.

Three out of 10 businesses on

Riccarton Rd have been hit with

the same swindle, Metro News

reported.

“They keep calling, trying to

support us and asking for our

details but I realised it is a scam

call,” said The Golden Crumbs

owner Udeshika Fernando.

“Whoever wants to start Uber

must know it is a scam call

coming, and should be careful.”

Bruce’s Bahn Mi co-owner

Lisa Tran said she was caught

on an unexpectedly busy

Thursday morning.

She received a no-caller-id

call from someone claiming to

be Uber Eats customer service,

who said that there had been

many missed orders and the

problem needed to be sorted

immediately.

Tran did have a few missed

orders.

As a new business on Uber

Eats, Tran was worried about

negative ratings and followed

the caller’s instructions.

The initial contact didn’t raise

any red flags with Tran as it

sounded business-like.

The caller asked for Tran to

confirm the last digits of phone

numbers and emails.

But this led to verification

codes popping up on Tran’s

Bruce’s Bahn Mi co-owner Lisa Tran was using Uber Eats for one week before being scammed.

work phone, which started to

ring alarm bells.

“I didn’t want to believe I was

in the middle of a scam,” she

said.

Tran said the caller sounded

increasingly frustrated with her

when she was trying to find the

verification codes.

This prompted Tran to end

the call – still unsure if it was

legitimate or not.

After ending the call, her

work phone and personal

phone rang constantly with

no-caller-id numbers.

Once the rush of customers

had ended she logged into her

laptop and found the details of

her business account receiving

Uber Eats revenue had been

changed.

Luckily, there was no

financial loss.

As a business owner she has

found it difficult to fix the issue,

PHOTO: BELLE JACKSON/NZBS

as she is busy with work.

Tran contacted Uber Eats

customer service, which

reassured her they would not

ask for verification and that

unfortunately it was a common

scam.

Uber Eats told Tran

businesses should contact

their territory manager if

they believed they were being

scammed.

Tran encouraged business

owners to create a checklist of

questions, to determine if they

were being scammed or not.

“If I knew that other local

businesses owners were currently

dealing with it, I would

be way more cautious of it,” she

said.

Riccarton Rd has a mix of

new and long-standing food

businesses.

Local hospitality hot spots,

The Golden Crumbs and Burger

Station said they were being

called once a week, with The

Riccarton Noodle House being

called once a month.

Tran said she was typically a

trusting person and wasn’t very

tech savvy.

“You don’t think that these

things would happen to you and

you don’t think you will fall for

it.”

She is now more aware of the

possibility and sceptical when

replying to emails, texts, and

calls.

She said it was one of those

extra things you needed to

learn as a business owner.

“You go into businesses

because you’re passionate

about something, but you have

to also understand technology

and scamming,” she said.

Lisa suspects the scamsters

were targeting new businesses

that had just begun operating

on Uber Eats, like Bruce’s Bahn

Mi.

Uber was approached for

comment.

The Way

We Were

Christchurch coach builder Henry Wagstaff’s velocipede was based on earlier French and German designs. Wagstaff’s twowheeler

earned the nickname ‘Boneshaker’ because its iron and wood construction offered a less than forgiving ride over

uneven surfaces.

TV2’s opening weekend featured New Zealand’s first telethon. The 17-hour fundraiser raised more than $485,000 for St

John Ambulance. Pictured centre, the Telethon call centre. Right, Telethon producer Bill Mackie, briefing panelists Annie

Whittle, Ron Walter (standing), Mary Dick, Rodney Bryant and Bryan Allpress.

THIS WEEK IN HISTORY

June 26-July 3

Cycling hits city streets

Christchurch was at the forefront of New Zealand’s earliest cycling craze

when, on June 28, 1869, what is believed to have been the country’s first

velocipede was ridden on its streets.

The machine, popularly known as a “Boneshaker”, was built by Christchurch

coachbuilder, machinist and engineer Henry Wagstaff. Its public demonstration

drew plenty of attention, with onlookers amused by amateur riders attempting

to master the unfamiliar two-wheeler.

The velocipede had originated in Europe, where French inventor Nicéphore

Niépce adapted earlier German designs dating back to 1817. Made largely of

iron and sometimes wood, the machines earned their Boneshaker nickname

because of their rough ride on uneven surfaces. Fortunately, the flat Canterbury

Plains provided ideal conditions for New Zealand’s first experiments with the

“Iron Horse”.

Although often regarded as an upper-class novelty used for sport and

recreation, velocipedes quickly captured Christchurch’s imagination. By August

1869, Wagstaff had built additional machines and received several orders, while

imported models also began arriving.

Three of his velocipedes attracted considerable interest during rowing

season festivities on the Avon River in September. Enthusiasm even led to the

formation of a Velocipede Club, although it lasted only a few months.

The craze culminated on Canterbury Anniversary Day, December 16, 1869,

when Christchurch hosted its first recorded velocipede race, featuring six

machines, four of them built locally by Wagstaff.

TV2 launches in Christchurch

On June 30, 1975, Christchurch viewers gained access to a second television

channel when TV2 – now known as TVNZ 2 – began broadcasting on Channel 8.

The launch marked a significant milestone in New Zealand broadcasting,

ending 15 years of single-channel television service. TV2 officially went to air in

Auckland at 1pm, but Christchurch viewers had to wait an extra five hours after

an aerial fault was discovered at the Sugarloaf transmitter. Engineers worked to

fix the problem, allowing broadcasts to begin at 6pm.

TV2 was created following the breakup of the New Zealand Broadcasting

Corporation on April 1, 1975. The restructuring established Radio New Zealand

and two television networks, Television One and Television Two. While

Television One inherited the existing national service, Television Two took

over stations including CHTV3 in Christchurch and set out to attract younger

audiences with a stronger focus on entertainment.

The channel’s launch featured a special opening programme, including a

comedy sketch by popular entertainer Fred Dagg. Early schedules included

a mix of imported dramas, comedies and light entertainment programmes

designed to offer an alternative to Television One’s more news-focused line-up.

The opening weekend also made broadcasting history, with New Zealand’s

first telethon raising more than $485,000 for St John Ambulance.

The sweetest sort of start

Nigel Slater turns to brilliantly

colourful rhubarb and chard for

two dishes that look as good

as they taste

ROAST RHUBARB WITH

PORRIDGE AND OAT CRUMBLE

The oat crumble, a sort of

sweet, oaty rubble, brings some

crunch to the party. It will keep

for several days in a storage jar in

a cool place and is good crumbled

over vanilla ice-cream. The

rhubarb can be kept refrigerated

for a day or two and brought out

for breakfast.

Ingredients

Serves 4

800g rhubarb stalks

2 medium oranges

2 heaped Tbsp caster sugar

6 juniper berries

For the oat crumble:

75g plain flour

75g butter

A good pinch of sea salt

50g caster sugar

55g rolled oats

For the porridge:

400ml water

100g pinhead oatmeal

Salt to taste

Method

• Trim dry ends from rhubarb

and discard, then cut each stalk

into pieces roughly 5cm long.

Pack the rhubarb into a nonreactive

baking dish (heatproof

glass or china, or stainless steel).

Preheat the oven to 200degC.

• Cut the oranges in half and

squeeze their juice into a bowl.

Stir in the sugar – it doesn’t

need to dissolve, that will

happen in the oven – then press

the juniper berries with a heavy

weight to crack them open, and

add to the orange juice.

• Pour the juice and berries

over the rhubarb and bake for

about 30 minutes until soft (test

with a skewer, it should slide

through each piece effortlessly).

• Make the crumble: put

the flour and butter in a food

processor and process to coarse

crumbs, then stir in the salt,

sugar and oats.

• Drop in 1 Tbsp of water and

shake the bowl backward and

forwards until the mixture

forms crumbs.

• Tip on to a baking sheet

and slide into the oven, it can

go in at the same time as the

rhubarb.

• Bake until pale gold (about

20 minutes), then remove and

set aside.

• Remove the rhubarb from

the oven while you make the

porridge.

• Bring the water to the boil,

rain in the oatmeal and stir for

3 or 4 minutes while it thickens.

Stir in a pinch of salt and divide

between 4 small bowls.

• Put some of the rhubarb in

each bowl, then spoon over the

rhubarb juice. Scatter some of

the crumble over each dish of

fruit and porridge. Serve hot.

​SWEET, HOT CHARD

I have had this as a side

dish for chargrilled mackerel

and with tempura-style fried

broccoli, but it is also good on

top of steamed rice.

The cooking time will vary

slightly according to the

thickness of your stems, so check

them every few minutes, only

adding the dressing when they

are beginning to soften.

Ingredients

Serves 2 as a side dish

For the dressing:

2 garlic cloves

1 stalk of lemongrass

2 hot red chillies

A small (40g) piece of ginger

2 Tbsp vegetable oil

1 Tbsp light soy sauce

1 Tbsp lime juice

1 Tbsp fish sauce

3 Tbsp runny honey

400g chard stalks

3 Tbsp groundnut oil

Method

• Peel and crush the garlic to a

paste with a pinch of salt, then

scrape into an empty screw-top

jar. Peel away the outer leaves

of the lemongrass, then roughly

chop the tender shoot within.

Put the chopped lemongrass into

an electric spice mill or coffee

grinder and process to a dry

paste, then add it to the garlic.

• Roughly chop the chillies and

add to the garlic and lemongrass.

Peel the ginger, then grate to a

paste and add to the jar.

• Add the vegetable oil, soy

sauce, lime juice and fish

sauce, then spoon in the honey,

tighten the lid and shake to

combine to a thin, syrupy

dressing.

• Cut the chard stalks into

short pieces, roughly 10cm in

length. Warm the groundnut

oil in a large, shallow pan over

a moderate heat, then add the

chard stalks and cover with a

lid.

• Let the chard cook for 10

minutes, turning the stalks

over occasionally until they are

tender.

• Pour the dressing into the

pan and toss the chard stalks

in it. Let the dressing bubble

for 4-5 minutes until it coats

the stalks, then transfer to a

serving dish.

TOGETHER, LET’S MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
