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.
