down
pay rates
• By Gabrielle Stuart
PAINTER BEN Creagh used to
earn $43 an hour.
Now he can’t get a full-time job
unless he accepts the minimum
wage of $15.25 – and he isn’t
prepared to do it.
Mr Creagh’s situation is similar
to many others in Christchurch,
trade unionists say, where overseas
workers coming into the city
for the rebuild are prepared to
work for much less.
Latest statistics show that
1564 foreign workers came to
Christchurch last year, more than
a quarter of them unskilled under
the Government rebuild worker
scheme.
Employers have told Mr
Creagh, 36, there are so many
foreign workers willing to work
cheaply, they won’t pay more.
“It’s embarrassing. But basically,
people aren’t willing to pay
what tradies are worth,” he said.
Mr Creagh (left) said he lost his
job about six months ago when
work at the company which employed
him dried up.
Since then he had been getting
by on short contract jobs, but
with three children, he said that
was a struggle.
In the past three years, 6292
foreign workers have been
brought in to Christchurch to
help with the rebuild.
But the number of Cantabrians
on Jobseeker benefits has grown
over that time, with about 1000
extra people signed up each year
for the past three years.
There were 10,357 Cantabrians
on Jobseeker benefits in December,
with 4565 of those classed as
“work-ready.”
E tu construction union organiser
Ron Angel agreed many
locals were struggling to compete
against foreign workers for jobs.
“Employers don’t have to pay
Kiwisaver or retirement contributions,
so that’s a three per cent
saving right there. They can pay
foreign workers less, because
Kiwis want more and won’t
work for minimum wage. And
they don’t need to pay overtime,
because overseas workers want
as much work as they can get, so
they will accept more hours without
overtime pay,” he said.

YOU HAVE to sympathise
with Ben Creagh (see page 1).
He is caught up in a
dilemma many tradies and
others are currently facing –
work for a lot less than they are
used to.
Work is drying up in the
city, particularly for painters,
but the Government still has
a relaxed policy for migrant
workers coming for the
rebuild.
Many of them are unskilled.
They will work for the
minimum wage of $15.25 with
no extra benefits on top, and
they will work on call.
Ben is refusing to accept
those pay rates and, as a result,
he can’t get a full-time job.
Is that fair?
No luck so far I’m afraid in
the hunt for Raewyn Wahnig’s
stillborn son’s ashes (see page
4), stolen when her house was
broken into.
If you know where they are,
drop them at a police station or
phone me (021 359 426), and
we’ll get them home.

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST
This week in history saw Riccarton Racecourse established on
March 6, 1856. On the same day in 1914 the first point-to-point
flight from Christchurch to Timaru took place. The pilot was J.W.
H. Scotland. In the same year, Scotland had the dubious privilege
of becoming the first pilot to crash in New Zealand. On March
7, 1925, the Cholmondeley Home for children (a gift by Hugh
Heber Cholmondeley) opened at Governors Bay. On March 8,
1958, Christchurch athlete Marise Chamberlain (right) broke
the world record for running 440 yards. On March 9, 1880, the
first steam trams began operation from Cathedral Square to the
railway station. On the same day in 1963 jazz trumpeter Louis
Armstrong performed in Christchurch. On March 12-15, 1927,
the Duke of York (later King George VI) visited the city.
TIME TO BUY TASTY GUIDE COOKIES
IT’S THAT time of the year again.
GirlGuiding New Zealand’s 2017 biscuit
selling season is under way. The biscuits
have been sold for 60 years – with the

was developed and sold in large square
tins in 1957. Stalls will pop up all over
the country, and door-to-door sales from
pippins, brownies, guides and rangers
will take place over the next four weeks.
Although the newer chocolate and mini
biscuits are popular, the old favourites are
still original.

Sick bed to City2Surf
• By Gabrielle Stuart
TURNAROUND: Leanne Crawford has put poor health behind her and is looking
forward to the City2Surf.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
JUST A year ago, Leanne Crawford could barely walk, had lost 30kg,
was constantly sick, and had to put both her work and her wedding
on hold – and she had no idea what was going wrong.
This month, she will take on the 14km The Star City2Surf with
Mike Pero Real Estate event, which she will walk, and she won’t
be doing it alone.
Her partner, friends and many of the nurses who helped her
get on her feet again plan to do the walk beside her – 41 people
in total – raising money to help others with the same condition
get treatment.
The 30-year-old began feeling sick in 2014, but initially
doctors did not know what was wrong.
It took almost two years for her to be diagnosed and find
a treatment, because she was facing a complex mix of parasites
in her intestines, crohn’s disease and endometriosis.
For much of that time she couldn’t work, and she had to
postpone her wedding three times.
“It was like my life was turned upside down. It was
really, really frightening just not knowing what was
going on,” she said.
After a Christchurch gastroenterology specialist,
Steven Ding, diagnosed her problems, she has made
a gradual recovery.
But she said it was only possible because of
the help she received, and the diagnosis tools
provided by the Canterbury Bowel and Liver
Trust.
“The things that finally got me well cost a lot
of money, so I wanted to give something back,”
she said.
She has already raised almost $1500 through
people sponsoring her run.
She said she had never done anything like the
City2Surf before, and after being sick for so long
being able to cross the finish line would feel like
a giant victory.
“I’m sure there will be tears,” she said.
“I finally feel like I’ve got my life back. I can’t
go for drinks or dinner like normal, but I am
still able to work, which is amazing.”
She works for Bupa as an activity organiser,
and said they held her job for her, in spite of the
fact she was off work for three months.
She has also rescheduled her wedding, and
plans to marry her partner of eight years, Craig
Corboy, this December.
“I’m determined I’m going to get down the
aisle this time,” she said.

In Brief
$1000 REWARD
Police are speaking to a witness
who said he saw a vehicle in a
Burwood paddock where a horse
was attacked and needed to be
destroyed. Gus, a seven-year-old
standardbred, had to be shot
by a police officer after he was
found badly injured at about
5am on February 18. Owner
Karina Romeyn said she has
passed on the details of a man
who came forward and said he
saw a vehicle chasing the horse
on the morning Gus was found
hurt. She has offered $1000 on
top of $278 raised on a Givealittle
page to be given to anyone who
has information that leads to
a conviction. Information can
be sent to karinaromeyn@
outlook.com, phone 363 7400
or report anonymously through
Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
JELLYFISH WARNING
Blue bottle jellyfish have been
washing up on the city’s beaches
over the last week. The jellyfish
make a regular appearance during
summer, and the city council’s
coastal park rangers are warning
people to stay away from them to
avoid being stung. Head ranger
Kelly Hansen said they had
received reports of them from
Sumner to North Beach. Blue
bottles have venomous tentacles
which sting, and leave red welts
on the skin.
BID TO REPLANT RESERVE
THe Summit Road Society is
calling for donations and other
community support to help with
restoring Ohinetahi Reserve,
which lost about 80ha in the
recent Port Hills fire. People
wishing to fund new trees at
$10 each can donate via www.
summitroadsociety.org.nz or
https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/

Fear that son’s ashes
may be gone for good
• By Julia Evans
SHATTERED Raewyn
Wahnig is resigned to the
fact she may never get her
stillborn son’s ashes back.
The ashes were taken
during a burglary of her
Linwood house two weeks
ago.
Police appear to have a
few clues to finding the culprit.
But desperate public
appeals for help have not
brought any leads.
Mrs Wahnig just wants
someone to tell her where
they are.
“Even if we just got a note
that says he’s in the bin,
give up hope. They can’t
just say nothing, someone
must know something,” she
said.
Their biggest fear was
that Thomas had been
dumped somewhere, but
now they only want to find
out the truth.
Mrs Wahnig said she
knows he’s been thrown
out and has been kept up at
night telling herself that’s
not the case.
MISSING: Raewyn Wahnig is worried she may
never again see the stolen box with her stillborn son
Thomas’ ashes in it.
She went to The Pawn
Shop on Ferry Rd last week
in case the person who
burgled their house had
tried to sell the $20,000 in
jewellery which was also
taken.
Detective Sergeant Damon
Wells said the priority
is returning the ashes, but
the police want to find the
person responsible.
“If the offender gets a
conscience and wants to
anonymously drop them
at a police station, we’d
be more than happy with
that,” he said.

Brownlee staffer involved in Treasury report
• By Gabrielle Stuart
GERRY BROWNLEE’S private
secretary wrote to Treasury
about what to include in a report
on the anchor projects, it has
been revealed.
But Mr Brownlee, the Minister
supporting Greater Christchurch
Regeneration, later slammed the
same report, saying it was written
by people who “fluff about
the place pontificating.”
The Treasury Major Projects
Performance Report, which was
released in September, flagged
several concerns about Christchurch
anchor projects, including
the Metro Sports Facility and
Convention Centre.
But emails obtained by The
Star show Mr Brownlee’s private
secretary Mike Shatford wrote
to Treasury staff several times
before the report was released,
asking them to change project
rankings, remove information
and delay the release of the
report.
The changes he requested
appear to have been made. But
when The Star asked Mr Brownlee
for his views on the report after
it was released in September,
he said he had little respect for it.
The first change Mr Shatford,
the former Canterbury Earthquake
Recovery Authority communications
general manager,
requested was an improvement
to the ranking of the Metro
Sports Facility.
At that point Treasury rated it
amber, which means the project
appeared feasible but significant
issues existed.
Mr Shatford said in an email
to Treasury senior adviser Liz
Innes on August 15 that Otakaro
Ltd had provided an update on
the project, which showed the
“project cost uncertainty had
been sorted” and another issue,
which was blanked out in the
copy of the email provided to
The Star, had been resolved.
“Having received this report,
the Minister (and Otakaro)
felt that this project was more
[amber/green] than amber,” he
wrote.
Ms Innes wrote back later that
day to say the ranking had been
changed to amber/green, which
means successful delivery of the
project is probable.
Three days later, on August 18,
he responded to an email about
a Canterbury Public Sector
CHANGES: Gerry
Brownlee’s
private secretary
Mike Shatford
(left) asked
Treasury to
change a report
warning about
potential issues
with the Metro
Sports Facility.
Rebuild “dashboard” prepared
by Treasury and Ministry of
Business, Innovation and Employment,
which made up part of
the major projects performance
report.
“Minister Brownlee is not yet
happy with the indicators being
presented for public release,” he
said in an email to representatives
of each agency.
Later that day, MBIE government
procurement general manager
John Ivil wrote back to Mr
Shatford about the construction
expenditure graph, which was
part of that “dashboard.”
“We could look to remove the
baseline detail and just show
actual and forecast, which is all
in the right direction,” he said.
That information was cut from
the report before it was released.
Later that month, on August
30, Mr Shatford wrote again to
Ms Innes, asking for the public
release of the document to be
deferred.
His email was titled: “Minister
didn’t agree to public reporting
data being released in its current
format – more work to be done.”
The report was not released to
the public until September 21,
three weeks later.
When asked if the involvement
of Mr Brownlee’s office reduced
the credibility of the report, a
spokesman for Treasury said
that was not the case.
He said Treasury made the final
decisions on what to include
in the reports, but Ministers and
their office staff often had more
up-to-date information than
Treasury did, which had to be
considered.
He said the emails were
written after “frequent conversations”
with Mr Brownlee’s office.
A spokeswoman said Mr
Brownlee stood by his comments
about the Treasury reports.

He said many jobs offered also
did not have guaranteed hours,
which left people who had families
struggling.
The Government scheme has
made it easier for foreigners to
move to Canterbury to help with
the rebuild, by “streamlining”
the application process, allowing
workers to stay longer and letting
them change employers while in
Canterbury without having to
reapply for a visa.
Canterbury Employers’ Chamber
of Commerce chief executive
Peter Townsend said he didn’t
think foreign workers were driving
down pay rates.
“A lot of work is going on, and
there is still a high demand for
workers in our city,” he said.
He believed the rebuild winddown
was still at least a year
away, and at that point he said
a lot of effort would be made
to transition people into other
industries, like tourism.
Immigration Minister Michael
Woodhouse said yesterday he
was committed to ensuring
“Kiwis are at the front of the
queue for jobs.”
He said employers who looked
for workers overseas had to first
advertise the job and engage with
Work and Income to see if they
could hire locals first.
“We are constantly monitoring
our immigration settings to
ensure they are fit for purpose
and I’m confident we have those
settings right,” he said.

Bashing victim regains
voice, speaks to police
• By Bridget Rutherford
THE VICTIM of a horror attack
following a Christchurch music
festival was interviewed by police
yesterday after regaining her
voice.
Amelia Rayner, 29, was
punched in the throat when
she and her boyfriend were leaving
Electric Avenue at Hagley
Park just after 11pm on February
25.
She had an operation to have
a metal plate inserted into her
throat to help her breathe.
Her family was worried about
how it could affect her voice.
But her mother, Barbara
Rayner, told The Star yesterday
that Amelia was talking and
doing “really well.”
She said hearing her daughter
speak for the first time
following the incident was “just
wonderful.”
“We’ve been very, very lucky.
She’s just got a bit of healing to
do.”
It is alleged Ms Rayner and
her boyfriend were leaving the
festival when they got into an
altercation with four men.
RECOVERING: Amelia Rayner has regained her voice after she
and her boyfriend were assaulted while leaving the Electric
Avenue music festival. ​
The men allegedly assaulted
her boyfriend, and when she
stepped in to help, she was
punched in the throat crushing
her trachea.
It has been reported that police
interviewed a man believed to
have caused her injury, but no
charges have been laid.
Detective Senior Sergeant
Mark Worner said police
interviewed Ms Rayner on
Wednesday morning.
But he would not give
any details about how it
went.
“Inquiries are ongoing.”
Barbara Rayner said her
daughter did not remember
much of what happened.
Sex attack after
woman leaves
Lincoln concert
A 48-YEAR-OLD woman was
sexually assaulted as she walked
home from the Selwyn Sounds
concert in Lincoln on Saturday.
The woman had left the concert
before it finished and police are
hoping members of the public
saw her.
They also hope someone might
have found a fine gold chain
bracelet with a heart-shaped gold
locket which belonged to the
woman.
The locket has a small diamond
on one side and a keyhole on the
other.
Said Detective Sergeant Phil
Sparks: “She left the concert on
her own at approximately 6.30pm
and walked along Meijer Dr onto
North Belt. It is in this vicinity
that she was grabbed from behind
and pushed a short distance off
the road to where she was attacked.”
Detective Sergeant Sparks said
the attack occurred between
6.30pm and 8pm. The concert
ended just after 8.30pm.
“It was still daylight and
members of the public may have
seen something that can assist in
identifying the attacker,” he said.
Police would like to hear
from anyone who may have
seen the victim leaving the concert.
She is of thin build with a dark
bob haircut, and was wearing a
black straw hat, light grey dress,
brown leather boots, denim jacket
and carrying two small backpacks
when she left the concert.
Police want to hear from
anyone who saw an interaction
between a man and a woman
fitting the victim’s description
within the vicinity of the Lincoln
Event Centre, North Belt and the
surrounding area. They also want
to hear from anyone who finds
a bracelet in the vicinity of the
attack.
Anyone with information
should call police on 363
7400. Alternatively you can call

Peace Of Mind Over Earthquake Claims Is Within Your Grasp -
Let Us Offer You A Helping Hand
Earthquake Services
As a community we have just marked the sixth anniversary of the February 22
earthquake with the opening of the Canterbury Earthquake National Memorial. Our
hearts ached to recall the loss that came about that day. But as we look back let’s
not forget that for some in Canterbury the consequences of the earthquakes are still
very real, and completely unresolved.
We are determined to help settle those claims still unresolved from the 2010 and
2011 earthquakes and allow our clients to move on with their lives. Here’s how we
can help you.
EQC Still Assessing You?
If you are still dealing with EQC to get your claim recognised or to get them to accept
you should be put over cap, we can help get this done. We have had hundreds of
our clients put over cap, and paid out by EQC, over the last 5 years. Many of these
clients had hit a brick wall before they came to us, and did not have the money or
skills to push EQC beyond their cap limit. Our process ensures EQC takes a realistic
view of the actual damage to your home, and the costs to repair it, which very often
means the claim goes over cap.
Getting Nowhere with Your Insurer?
Many homeowners have come to an impasse with their Insurer, and simply don’t
know what to do next. We can get your insurer back on to a path to settle your
claim. Once we get involved, the insurers know they have to justify their position, and
come up with a realistic repair strategy and costing of that strategy. We will advocate
for the repair strategy that we believe is going to fully repair your property to your
policy standard, and ensure you get your full entitlement under your insurance policy.
Concerned Your Damage Was Under Scoped?
Other homeowners know the damage to their foundations was never properly
scoped or was completely ignored by EQC or their insurer, but are unable to get
any action on this. We know what it takes to get EQC or the insurer to accept these
claims, and have the resources to deliver the information and the pressure needed
before they will pay out on these claims.
REPAIR
Worrying about the quality of earthquake repairs by EQC or insurance companies can
be a real headache for some homeowners. If that’s you, we can inspect your property for
free * and advise you on the state of your repairs. We’re here to help everyday Cantabrians
move on with their lives. We are Earthquake Services, claim advocates specialising in
helping people like you sort out your claims and achieve the results you deserve.
Contact us today. We’re here to help.
Worried About Your Repairs?
For many homeowners, doubts also linger about the quality of the earthquake repairs
done by Fletcher EQR or their insurer’s contractors. It’s a known fact that many
earthquake repairs have been sub-standard or inadequate. Foundation repairs such
as epoxying foundation cracks and jacking and packing piles to relevel floors, are not
what the insurers agreed to when they sold their insurance policies with terms like
“AS NEW” as the repair standard. We will inspect your repairs for free*, and give you
an honest opinion on whether you have major damage that has not been repaired.
At best, you will have peace of mind that your repairs are sound. If they are not up to
standard, we will engage with the relevant parties for you to get you your entitlement.
Limitation Act
At some time in the near future, EQC and the insurers will apply the Limitation Act,
which will mean a complete stop to any more payments for earthquake damage from
2010 and 2011. This means thousands of homeowners may be left with a damaged
house that they cannot get repaired without paying for the repairs themselves. To
avoid being one of those people, you need to take action now. Don’t wait until you
know when the deadline is, as you will then be competing with thousands of other
homeowners to get your claim established.
How We Can Help
We carry out a free* inspection of your property for our clients and either give you
peace of mind that all of your earthquake damage has been identified, scoped,
and repaired to the required standard, or give you certainty that it has not. We will
even lift your carpets for free* to check your floor slab is not cracked. If we identify
major damage that has not been repaired, we take on the claim for you and get
you your policy entitlement. You pay nothing until your claim is settled. We cover all
the expert’s reports that are needed, and any legal fees if we need to resort to legal
action to get you your full claim entitlement.
We can help take the pressure off and work with you, and for you, to reach a positive
outcome, or give you peace of mind that your home is fully repaired to the required
standard.
Let us give you a hand

the earthquakes, but we know many have been left behind. For

Red zone
planning day
open to all
A COMMUNITY day will be held
to get input on how to shape the
future of the residential red zone.
Regenerate Christchurch chief
executive Ivan Iafeta said this year
will see a plan prepared for the
regeneration of former red zone
land from Avonside to Bexley and
Richmond to New Brighton.
The Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor
Community Day will be
held on March 25 from 10am-3pm
at Haeata Community Campus,
Wainoni. Everyone is welcome.
“We’re inviting everyone to journey
through an interactive experience
to learn about the land and
river, and then share their thoughts
on how this area could shape an
exciting future for Christchurch,”
Mr Iafeta said.
He said Regenerate Christchurch
wanted to find out what the city
needed and how this parcel of land
could help meet those needs. It also
wanted input from children.
Free guided bus tours of the
red zone are on offer, as well as
fun, family activities including a
sausage sizzle, face-painting and a
bouncy castle.

Role of women in spotlight
• By Bridget Rutherford
ROCHELLE TOURELL has
worked in the construction
industry for a decade and
reckons she can do her job just
as well, if not better, than any
man.
The L.J. Kidd painter is one of
the 14 per cent of women who
work in the industry across the
country.
Yesterday, it was the annual
International Women’s Day,
which calls for equality.
But Ms Tourell said she feels
equal in her line of work, in
spite of being the only female at
most building sites.
“I’ve found every job I’ve
been on I’ve been accepted. I’m
just one of the team and I don’t
expect any more than that.”
She said women could be
more meticulous and could do
the job as well as their male
counterparts.
She first got into the trade
because her partner was a construction
worker. Having always
enjoyed painting, she decided to
give it a go.
It was intimidating initially
with it being a male-dominated
industry. But she doesn’t feel
that way now.
METICULOUS: Painter Rochelle Tourell says she feels equal
to her male counterparts, in spite of working in an industry
dominated by men.

“I think there’s more and
more acceptance of women in
the trade.”
Yesterday, 120 women went
along to a Women in Construction
forum, organised by
Safe/Rebuild and Canterbury
Rebuild Safety Charter, at
By the numbers:
•Women make up 51.3 per
cent of New Zealand’s
population, according to
the latest census
•Nationally, 14 per cent
of those working in the
construction industry are
women
•International Women’s
Day was first held in the
United Nations in 1975
Christchurch Bridge Club.
It was so popular, another
would be held later this month,
which Ms Tourell would attend.
Roofer, TJ Kereru-Daly – one
of three key guest speakers
– said working in a maledominated
industry meant
she had to earn her colleagues’
support, but sometimes it was
harder to do.
Sometimes she was not taken
seriously because of her gender,
she said.
Safe/Rebuild spokeswoman
Jo Duffy said International
Women’s Day was perfect timing
for the forum.
“It seems a very obvious day
to run this forum. We want to
celebrate women in the business
and the timing is perfect.”

Pastor issues challenge to congregation
• By Gordon Findlater
FIJIAN Seventh-Day Adventist
Pastor Jesel Royokada is
challenging his congregation to
step up and enter this month’s
The Star City2Surf with Mike
Pero Real Estate.
Pastor Royokada was inspired
by the Tongan SDA Church’s efforts
at the Summer Starter late
last year, and is being supported
by Healthy Families Christchurch.
“I thought ‘we can do that’.
I’d love to see our church
leading the way, taking exercise
seriously too,” said Pastor
Royokada.
“So when I was talking to
Healthy Families Christchurch
they said ‘if that’s what you want
to do, why don’t you just give it a
try and see what happens?”
Not to be outdone, the Tongan
church matched their entry
numbers, and together they’re
throwing the challenge out even
wider, hoping to inspire other
community and faith-based
organisations.
“It would be great to see
other churches and community
groups taking part,” said Pastor
Royokada.
“It was a great idea, it’s a great
step to combine together and
then maybe we might inspire
the Samoans or other ethnicities,”
said Teuila Saafi, Tongan
SDA youth leader.
The two Pacific churches have
already started preparations for
the March 19 event by exercising
together on Sunday mornings at
Hagley Park – combining prayer
and walking.
“It was good, because we
talked about it before, I said to
Jesel next time bring the Fijians
and now they’ve joined us. It’s
great,” said Ms Saafi.
“I found the Sunday morning
walk fulfilling, by building up
my faith, while also building my
body,” said Pastor Royokada.
Both agreed that physical
health and spiritual health
are linked, but all too often
other things can get in the
way. Combining the two was

As part of challenging other
churches to enter the City2Surf,
the duo have opened the door
for anyone to join them in their
prayer walks.
“We meet at 6.30am at the car
park in the south end of Hagley
Park and we’d love to have anyone
join us, it would be great to
see some new faces.”

Move to restrict water take
• By Tom Doudney
MEASURES TO restrict,
suspend or revoke water
take consents in a catchment
which feeds the ailing Selwyn/
Waikirikiri River will be
investigated.
The river has had record low
flows this summer and has dried
up along large stretches, including
at once popular swimming
spots such as Coes Ford.
Environment Canterbury will
look into two possible options
to help address the situation
and report back to the Selwyn
Waihora Zone Committee.
One option is that ECan
could issue a temporary water
shortage direction allowing it to
restrict or suspend taking water
from the catchment feeding
the river. Under the RMA, a
water shortage direction can be
applied when there is “a serious
temporary shortage of water”
which could not have been predicted.
It would expire after 14
days but could be renewed.
ECan chief operating officer
Don Rule said this could potentially
affect up to 63 consents in
an area south of Rolleston, of
which about 46 were thought
to have a strong connection to
the river. It was not known how
many of these consents were

already on restrictions.
The other option which
will be looked at is a potential
ratepayer-funded review of “at
the very least” several hundred
water take consents in the vicinity
of the river but Mr Rule said
this would be a longer process.
Such a review would enable
ECan to look at whether any
consents should be altered or
revoked.
“The focus would be on surface
and shallow ground water
takes initially,” Mr Rule said.
“Based on my experience,
consent reviews would certainly
not affect this irrigation season,

Both options would be open
to challenge in the Environment
Court.
Zone committee chairman Allen
Lim supported ECan investigating
the measures but said it needed to
be remembered that climate was
the main factor affecting the current
state of the river.
“If you have to attribute the
amount of effect on the Selwyn
River level, all the science that
we know of says that 15 - 20 per
cent is attributed to irrigation,
the rest of it is just climate,” Mr
Lim said.

Government pays
$38,000 for SingularityU
• By Bridget Rutherford
THE GOVERNMENT spent
more than $38,000 sending

$31,986 on conference tickets for
28 staff. On top of that it spent
$6447 on flight travel costs for
those who went.
Nineteen Callaghan Innovation
staff attended, costing
$23,821.
The Government agency helps
businesses succeed through
technology.
Its chairwoman, Sue Suckling,

economic development and trade
promotion agency, New Zealand
Trade and Enterprise, attended
costing $4184.
The American conference, held
on November 14-16 at Horncastle
Arena, looked into fast-growing
technologies and how they were
likely to change the economy,
society and the job market.
It was organised by Ministry
of Awesome co-founder Kaila
Colbin.
The city council put $70,000
into the conference out of its

Emergency alerts on
your mobile phone
THIS week I
announced a new
emergency alerting
system that broadcasts
to mobile phones is
on track to be up and
running by the end of
the year.
Launching a cell broadcast
alerting system is a priority for
the National Government and will
help New Zealanders respond to
the natural disasters we experience
all too often.
Cell broadcast alerting is a
new way of sending information
to mobile phones in a defined
geographical area without people
needing to download an app or
subscribe to a service.
The alerts will look similar to
text messages and are received automatically
– for free – by all cell
broadcast-enabled mobile phones
in the area.
Discussions with New Zealand’s
major telecommunications companies
are progressing well and we
expect to have contracts signed in
the coming weeks.
As no technology is 100 per cent
fail-safe or able to reach everyone
in all circumstances, multiple
channels will continue to be used
to send alerts when emergencies
Gerry Brownlee
happen. These channels include
radio, television, websites, various
social media, smartphone apps, sirens
and others. In Christchurch,
we have warning sirens along the
coast from Brooklands to Taylors
Mistake and the other channels
are used as local authorities determine
appropriate.
It is important to remember
cell broadcast alerts don’t replace
the need for people to pay attention
to natural warnings. This
is particularly important in the
case of earthquakes and potential
tsunamis.
Cell broadcasting will get
information about an emergency
to people faster and more reliably
than ever before. Additionally,
cell broadcast technology works
separately from text messages, so
even when the networks get busy
after a disaster, alerts can still be
sent quickly.
The system is already well established
elsewhere in the world,
in countries such as the United
States, Japan, Israel and Chile.
We said:
Cantabrians’ access to
non-emergency surgery
is now the worst in the
country. The Canterbury
and South Canterbury
district health boards were
ranked worst for elective
surgeries – which includes
everything but emergency
surgery
You said:
Simone Kuhlmann –
Maybe that has something to do
with the fact that they overwork
and underpay their new young
doctors? I mean I wouldn’t want
to work 17-hour days either . .
. let alone operate on someone!
Besides they’re on strike at the
moment anyway aren’t they? My
mother needs surgery on her
ankle again after it was broken
an operated on 1.5 years ago
and it’s been impossible to get
in.
Graeme Palmer – Just as
well I have made the decision
to stay in Dunedin with the
great specialist team that I have
around me rather than move
home to Christchurch.
Amy Kennedy – Only took
six months to get surgery on my
badly broken ankle.
Albert Read – This needs to
be fixed now.
We said:
All is not well between
Lyttelton residents
and their local police.
Residents want local
police on patrol after

into their own hands with

a complaint about police
performance
You said:
Marianne Allison – We
have the same in New Brighton,
I feel so sad for so many people
here getting their cars broken
into and having to pay a $500
excess on insurance.
Sally King – And it’s a
similar story in many small
New Zealand towns. Too many
cut backs and lack of funding
and misguided use of current
precious funding. Small towns
matter too.
Amy Coursey – Nah. They
know, the little town police
officers are quite stretched. We
live in a small town where the
police have a huge area to cover
and can’t get to everything.
Jake Ranginui – It’s election
year, we need to change the
Government. Police are far too
underfunded!
Deborah Kavanagh –
. . . and if the crims didn’t
know before . . . they do now.

Young scapegoats
We said:
The city’s most
dangerous intersections
have been revealed after
city councillor Aaron
Keown hit out at his
council colleagues for not
putting aside $800,000
to fix the contentious
intersection of Harewood,
Breens and Gardiners Rds
in Bishopdale
Lynley Jenkins – A lot of it
would be solved if lights stayed
green for longer, and there were
more right-turning arrows.
Also hefty penalties for red light
runners. People have forgotten
orange means prepare to stop.
Simon Rutherford – This is
just a list of intersections! Where
is the journalism that tells us why
newly upgraded intersections are
considered dangerous like QE II
and Marshland Rd.
We said:
Selwyn Sounds had
Lincoln rocking at the
weekend, with more
than 7500 people at
the concert. The bands
included Mi-Sex, the
Jordan Luck Band and
Dragon
You said:
Maree Reveley – Awesome
bands and great venue. Same
complaints as above though.
Took far too long to get in and
queues for ladies toilets were
absolutely ridiculous. Men’s
urinals ended up overflowing
onto the ground.
Paula Fisher – Great day
and music, but yes more toilets
required and entry queue a bit
long but expected when allowed
to bring food an drink in.
Alan Hane – Great day,
big toilet queues, though, need
more toilets and men’s urinals.
Jackie Ryan – Was
absolutely awesome day
fantastic music and delicious
food, bring on next year.
Tania Adams – hope they
have more loos next year, the
queues where ridiculously long.
BILL English’s
comments last week
that local workers and
particularly the young
fail drug tests, and
this was the reason we
were having to bring in overseas
workers for these roles, made
my blood boil for a number of
reasons.
First, it’s simply not true on the
scale alleged. The Government’s
own figures show that just 150
people a year either failed or
refused to take a drug test out of
the 30,000 people a year who were
tested.
Our prime minister cynically
scapegoated a group of people who
need the Government’s backing
rather than being thrown under
the bus like this in response to
the reporting of all-time high
migration figures.
Instead of an intelligent debate
about employment, he decided to
use anecdotes that had not been
fact checked. But facts matter,
and in this country we expect
our prime minister to use them.
A country’s young people are
one its best resources, so for him
to marginalise and blame them
unfairly is shameful.
While the prime minister and
his party are busy taking pot shots
at our young people, Labour has
been forming plans to make sure
all our young people are ready for
work. Currently, there are 74,000
young people not in education,
employment or training and, last
year, Andrew Little announced
policy to fix this problem.
Andrew did not shy away from
the fact that there are some young
people who occasionally need a
kick up the backside to get them
out the front door, but he also
laid out a plan to help them into
work. For a period of six months,
young people would be offered
employment on community and
environmental projects and paid
the minimum wage.
Mentors will help them
make the most out of this time
and make sure that they learn
important skills like punctuality.
This further adds to our intention
to pay the equivalent of the
dole to employers who take on
apprentices.
Labour is not prepared to throw
our young onto the scrap heap,
we want a future where our young
people have hope and opportunity,
not a prime minister ready to use
them as political fodder.

Rise in
number of
motorists
running
red lights
• By Gabrielle Stuart
CHRISTCHURCH’S growing
red light-running problem is
leaving dozens of injuries in its
wake.
In the past year, there were 65
crashes which left people
injured after drivers ran
red lights, up from 42 the
year before.
At the city’s top 10
worst intersections this
month, almost 5400
drivers ran red lights in a
single day.
That was up 31 per cent from
last year, and 64 per cent more
than in 2014.
They do not include people
turning right across an intersection
on a red light.
The worst for red light-runners
was the intersection of Blenheim
Rd and Mandeville St, where 652
were detected on a single day on
Thursday, December 1.
Police figures have also grown.
In the last year, 1491 people
were ticketed for running red
lights in Christchurch, up from
1316 the year before and 1266 in
2014.
Canterbury road policing
manager Inspector Al Stewart
(left) said he was disappointed to
see the rise.
“It puts people at risk. They
may get away with it 99
out of 100 times, but it is
that one time which could
leave someone injured or
killed,” he said.
He said police had a
focus last year on bad
driving at intersections,
which included red
light-running, and that would
continue until the numbers
improved.
People often had different
excuses when ticketed for running
red lights, but there was no
acceptable reason, he said.
“A lot of people are simply
focused on other things and
don’t see it, but that is just as
unacceptable as running a light
deliberately, because when driving
you should be focused on the
task at hand,” he said.

Cor Vink
Canterbury Museum’s spider-man
Behind the public
displays at Canterbury
Museum is a hidden lab,
with boxes filled with
hundreds of preserved
spiders in vials. It’s
the office of Natural
History curator and
arachnologist Cor Vink.
He spoke to Gabrielle
Stuart
So have you always liked
spiders?
I did. When I was a kid, my
parents loved tramping, so we often
came across spiders. I always
liked predators – anything that
had to kill something the same
size or larger than it to survive I
found fascinating. And they’re so
different to us, so alien, from the
way they feed to their biology.
New Zealand is a very interesting
place to live if you’re
interested in spiders. About 95
per cent of spiders here are found
nowhere else in the world. It is
estimated we have 2000 different
kinds of spiders in New Zealand,
and only about 1200 have names.
The others haven’t been named
STUDY: Canterbury Museum Natural History curator Cor Vink is passionate about discovering and
understanding New Zealand’s spiders.

or studied. And the ones we
know most about are the most
uninteresting ones, the most
common household spiders.
So what does your job
involve?
It’s about half maintaining collections,
and 25 per cent public
interaction, giving talks and that
kind of thing. The other quarter
is research, or supervising students.
And you were involved in
catching the huntsman spider
found recently at Lululemon?
Yes, I was. It’s not the only
huntsman we’ve had here,
though. One was found in
Hillmorton in 2006, and others
popped up regularly in the
same area over a couple of years
afterward – although I haven’t
heard of any there recently. There
were two species often found up
in Auckland. And a chap on our
Facebook page recently posted a
picture of a huntsman and said
he found them regularly at his
work, but he hasn’t replied to my
messages, so I’m not sure where.
Huntsman spiders are not dangerous
to humans, but they are a
predator, so we don’t want them
here because they would eat our
native insects.
What about New Zealand spiders?
Do we have big ones here?
Yes – the Nelson cave spiders
have a leg span of up to 13cm,
and bodies about 3cm in length.
But they vary a lot. Our smallest
would be smaller than a full stop
on a page.
So what is spider-hunting like
when you’re out in the field?
Well, they’re usually active at
night after the sun goes down, so
you need a good head torch. But
it depends what you’re looking at
and where you want to go.

busts the myths about arachnids
Trapdoor spiders are an interesting
one to catch, because they
like to stay inside their burrow
behind the trapdoor. So to catch
them, one researcher – Vikki
Smith – invented a technique
they call “beetling”, where they
tie a leash around a beetle and
walk it up and down outside the
trap to lure the spider out. When
the spider comes out to catch the
beetle they block the door so it
can’t get back in
I wouldn’t like to be the
beetle.
No, but the beetle usually
survives it. Vikki had one beetle
she called Pete, who she kept for
a long time, although I believe he
recently died.
RIP Pete. And when you’re
working in the lab, what kind
of discoveries do you find most
interesting?
I think the most exciting thing
is just to look down a microscope
and realise you’re looking at a
unique species that has never
been seen before.
Have you been able to name
any new species?
Yes, about 30. There are rules
about what you can name them
– they can be about where it is
found or what it looks like, or the
MYTH: Cor Vink said many people believed white tail spider
bites could be deadly, but that was a myth.
people who found them.
Have you given any particularly
interesting names?
Not myself, although there
are some interesting names for
spiders in New Zealand. There
is a genus of tiny spider called
beelzebub, named for the Jewish
‘lord of the flies’. But you can do
some damage if you choose the
wrong name. There is a kind of
cave beetle, which was discovered
by a Nazi supporter, and he
named it hitleri, after Hitler. It is
nothing special, but because of
the name, it is now endangered,
because a lot of crazy neo-Nazis
want it in their collections, so
they hunt them down.
Obviously spiders aren’t popular
with everyone – does that
make it hard to get research or
conservation funding?
Well, they’re not pretty, fluffy
birds, that’s for sure. I don’t need
much research funding because
most of my work is collectionbased.
I have done things like
molecular research, but not a lot
of it, so funding isn’t something
that keeps me up at night.
Are there any spiders that
scare you?
Not really, because I know
they’re not going to go after
you. Some, like the white tails,
are quite creepy and they have
a painful bite. But I’ve worked
with spiders for more than 20
years, and I’ve never been bitten.
What do your children think
of your work?
They’re fine with it. They’re
12 and 10, and they know the
names of a lot of species and
they’re quite good at finding
them, too. They’ve come on
several trips with me, helping me
collect them.
There are a lot of myths
people believe about spiders
– which do you run into most
often?
One of the most common is
that white tail venom is deadly.
It’s not deadly. People will show
you dramatic wounds which,
they say, came from a white tail
bite, but often they didn’t see it
happen. It’s likely just a secondary
infection, which is more likely
to have come from a mosquito
than a white tail. The other one
is that cellar spiders, which most
people call daddy-long-legs, have
highly potent venom. The reality
is, it’s not potent at all. You
would need about 50 bites on a
mouse to kill it. And there’s the
myth about swallowing spiders
in your sleep. It’s true they like
dark places, but not somewhere
wet like your mouth. So I don’t
know where that came from.

Fashion
Runway show for Ronald McDonald House
KIWI FASHION celebrities and
some special models will hit
the catwalk next month to raise
money for Ronald McDonald
House.
The M Factor Fashion Show
for Ronald McDonald House
will bring together New Zealand
designers to raise money for the
charity.
It will take place at The
Foundry on April 1 at 7pm.
Ronald McDonald House provides
a place where families can
stay for free while their children
receive medical treatment.
The family-friendly fashion
show will see collections from
the likes of Andrea Moore,
Augustine, Annah Stretton
and more, including children’s
clothing labels.
It is not just your average
fashion show, as the models
include families who stay at
Ronald McDonald House.
Last year, Tasja and Pyper
Murphy, of Greymouth,
modelled in the fashion show.
Tasja was diagnosed with a
brain tumour in 2013, and the
Murphy family have stayed
at Ronald McDonald House
since then when she receives
treatment.
After the success of last year’s
show, Maree Harris, owner and
events organiser at M Factor
Events, is looking forward to
bringing more glitz, glamour
and fashion to this year’s runway.
It is a charity close to Ms
Harris’ heart, as her twin nieces
and family spent two months
staying at Ronald McDonald
House.
“It’s a really special charity to
me, which is why I am so excited
to use my passion to support
such an incredible cause.”
Ronald McDonald House
South Island chief executive
Matthew Mark said it always
amazed him how Kiwis rallied
to support other families during
what was often described as
the toughest period of their
lives.
“Last year, over 627 families
from across the South Island
stayed at Ronald McDonald
House South Island, and because
we receive no direct Government
funding we rely on community
support.”
GOOD CAUSE: Tasja
(left) and Pyper
Murphy modelling in
last year’s M Factor
Fashion Show. ​
Tickets are available at
ticketmaster.co.nz and are priced
at $75 for VIP, $55 for general
admission and $30 for children
and students.
Funds raised from this event
will go towards taking care of the
Kiwi families who walk through
the doors of a Ronald McDonald
House each year.

Travel
Be seduced by the Spanish city of Cordoba
• By Mike Yardley
IN THE eyes of visitors,
Andalucía’s enduring allure is
legendary, but the textured,
atmospheric appeal of Southern
Spain is spectacularly illustrated
in effortlessly explorable
Cordoba.
I based myself in the heart of
the old city, at a cheap and cheerful
two-star establishment, Hotel
Boston, from where I lapped up
the sights like a perky cub-scout.
Cordoba is the sort of place
that seduces you, from the
moment you arrive. To get an
absorbing overview, jump onboard
a City Sightseeing Hop-on
Hop-off Bus. www.city-ss.com
A thousand years ago, Cordoba
formed the heart of the
Western Islamic Empire, as
capital of the Moorish kingdom
of Al-Andulus. At its peak,
Cordoba was home to half a
million residents, making it
Western Europe’s biggest city.
That’s what really surprised me,
because even though it’s still got
plenty of bustle, Cordoba exudes
a human-scale mystique.
The star attraction is unquestionably
the storied Mezquita,
not dissimilar to Istanbul’s Hagia
Sophia, whereby you’re rewarded
by a two-in-one mosque and
cathedral combo. Built in 783AD
ORNATE: The two-in-one Mezquita is a mosque and cathedral combo. Its interior is a vast forest of pillars and horse shoe-shaped
arches.
by the Moorish conquerors on
the site of a very early Christian
church, they demolished the
church to create this artistic treasure,
which they wanted to rival
the world’s great mosques.
Entering its cavernous expanse,
I was transfixed by its
vast forest of pillars and horse
shoe arches, which look a bit like
candy canes, with a two toned
ochre and cream colour scheme.
When the Spanish Catholics reconquered
Cordoba, mercifully,
they didn’t destroy the building,
opting instead to hide the minaret
within a new bell tower, and
plonking a church within the
mosque’s existing fabric.
Fast forward 1000 years and
a major sticking point today is
that Muslims cannot pray in the
Mezquita, given it’s a practising
Catholic church. They’ve
appealed to the Vatican to grant
them a prayer room, without
success. Several years ago, a
group of Muslim tourists started
mass-praying within the building,
causing a huge stink, which
resulted in several security
guards being stabbed.
How sad that such an incredible
masterpiece of world heritage
is racked with resentment, which
underscores Spain’s inner-turmoil
about its contested sense of
identity and shared history.
If you want to marvel at this
building, before the ravenous
hordes of tourists swamp it,
jump up early and enjoy the
early morning free admission,
between 8.30am and 10am. Beyond
the Mezquita, lose yourself
in the time-honoured Juderia,
the Old Jewish quarter.
This labyrinthine neighbourhood
of twisting laneways is
not overtly touristy or commercialised.
You can also see the
13th-century synagogue which
was converted into a church,
when the Spanish monarchy
expelled the Jews from Spain.
It’s the perfect place to wander
aimlessly, in the maze of cobbled
lanes with shady flower-filled
courtyards. It’s peaceful, timeless
and quintessential Cordoba.
Another reason to rise early,
is to hot-foot it down Puente
Romano.

Walk the maze of cobbled lanes and courtyards
•From page 29
Spanning the Guadalquivir River,
this grand old Roman Bridge turns
on a celestial light show (below). In
a scene straight out of a fairytale, as
the rays of the rising sun caresses
the honey-hued limestone bridge,
the resulting mirror reflection on
the water, produces a sensational
“river of gold” mirage.
Much of Cordoba’s medieval
architecture is constructed in the
honey-coloured stone, so the magic
hours of the rising and setting sun
create a photogenic feast.
Central to the local way of life
is the cherished – even revered –
patio. Throughout most of May the
annual Festival of the Patios
is a source of incredible local
pride, and a monumental tourist
draw.
Even back in the days of the Romans,
Cordoba homes were built
with a central patio or courtyard, as
a trusty refuge from the scorching
heat.
The tradition was enhanced by
the Moors, with stone mosaics,
ceramic tiles and water features,
vividly accentuating the decorative
touches to the patios.
May is a magical month to
plan a visit to the city, when over
50 patios, tucked away behind
heavy doors and iron gates, are
thrown open for public viewing,
for free.
It’s a tantalising encounter with
authentic Cordoba living and you’ll
notice that patio decoration is not
only a big business, but powered
by plenty of “keeping up with the
Joneses” rivalry.

Gardening
Pretty nemophila for pots or planting
• By Henri Ham
STRONG: Water black penny regularly
for a good show.
For more
gardening
inspiration,
pick up the
latest issue of
kiwigardener
NEMOPHILA IS a lovely annual
that produces masses of tiny, pretty
flowers.
The individual flowers are small
and delightful, but planted on
mass, nemophila looks stunning
and striking. Google nemophila
at Hitachi Seaside Park in Japan
for a glimpse of how spectacular
nemophila can look.
Some of my favourites are snow
storm which has white flowers
with fine pencil markings, black
penny flowers are dark purple with
white edges and blue chip flowers
are blue with white centres. Blue
chip grows to a height of 20cm and
the other two to a height of 10cm.
Try growing a mix of all three or
just one variety to create a strong
statement.
In addition to mass planting,
they look lovely in pots, containers,
borders, baskets and rock gardens.
Once you’ve got your seedlings
simply plant each one around 25cm
from the next in a spot that has full
sun or part shade and moist soil.
In around four weeks you can
expect to see your nemophila
put on their show. Water them
regularly and you’ll help keep the
flower show going longer.
PLENTIFUL: Snow storm in a pot produces masses of individual flowers.

An apple a day
Rachel Vogan says apples are easy to grow and
wonderful to eat – so why not grow your own?
REFERRED TO as the
world’s most popular fruit,
apples are one of the easiest
crops to grow.
They are often classified
as eating or dessert/
cooking apples. If room
isn’t an issue try to plant a
range of apples that mature
at different times, so you
can have a long harvest
period.
POLLINATION
Apples are pollinated by
bees, which move around
apple and crab apple
trees (which are useful
pollinators for apple trees
due to their abundance of
pollen and long flowering
period). If you only have
room for one, make sure
it’s self-fertile, or if your
neighbour has a tree or
two, the bees will move
from garden to garden to
aid in fertilisation.
MAINTENANCE
Young apple trees need
little pruning other than
to train to shape until
the plants have multiple
branches or when they
are starting to take up too
much space. Prune to aid
air and light movement
once established after
harvesting in winter.
Fertilise in spring with
a general-purpose fruit
fertiliser; avoid anything
that is exceptionally high in
nitrogen.
MULTI-GRAFTED
VARIETIES
The expert
horticulturalists, who grow
the trees, graft the apple
variety onto a vigorous
rootstock. These rootstocks
cope with a variety of
soil types and govern the
READY TO PICK: The flavour of home-grown is
best.
eventual height of the
tree. Grafting is nothing
new, it has been done for
centuries, and it allows
for more than one variety
to be grafted onto each
rootstock. Multi-grafted
apple trees are popular
and readily available; some
even come in triple grafts,
ie three varieties of apple
on one tree.
ONES TO TRY
The list of apple trees
available is fairly long, with
well over 100 different
varieties from new hybrids
through to those which
came out with the first
settlers. Here are a few
favourites:
• ‘Golden Delicious’, ‘Red
Delicious’ both produce
large, smooth-skinned
fruit.
• ‘Braeburn’, ‘Gala’,
‘Monty’s Surprise’ and
‘Fuji’ are all reliable, tasty,
flavoursome, crunchy
fruit with good red
colours and tones.
• ‘Granny Smith’,
‘Bramley’s Seedling’ and
‘Baujade’ are all green
cooking-apple types.
• Big is better? ‘Peasgood
Nonsuch’ offers monstersized
fruit.
• Low-maintenance and
tasty varieties include
‘Initial’, ‘Adore’, ‘Ariane’
and ‘Divine’, which all
produce wonderful
apples, and what is even
better is that they are
disease resistant and do
not need spraying.
WHAT YOU NEED TO
KNOW
• Full sun is mandatory.
• For clay-based and heavy
soils, work in grit and
gypsum before planting
to help drain the soil, or
build the site up so water
will not pool around the
base of the trees.
• In light, loose, even
sandy soils, be generous
and load up with
compost and well-rotted
manure. This must be
worked through the soil
to ensure the roots have
something solid to latch
on to.

CITY 2 SURF TRAINING PROGRAMME
day routine so it is familiar to you on the
day. You won’t know what the weather
will be like until a couple of days before
so don’t worry about that now, just be
prepared for every weather condition.
This is Christchurch autumn with all its
unpredictable weather patterns from
a warm nor’west day, to snow! So find
some gloves, a hat, a polypropylene top
and a jacket in case you need these. And
don’t forget the sunscreen.
Your training this week is still solid with
the last long run on the Wednesday as
the taper to freshen up the legs starts in
the weekend. If you feel a bit underdone
don’t fall into the trap of doing “catch
up training”. That is putting in some
extra sessions or going a bit longer and
harder than indicated. You take a risk of
injury or excessive tiredness and it is too
late to have much of an effect anyway,
so relax and stick to your plan!

TIP OF THE WEEK
A normal breakfast
before you take part in
an endurance event is
taken 2-3 hours before
the event. It should
consist mainly of slow
release carbohydrates,
also called foods with a
low glycaemic index.
Low GI foods include oatmeal (rolled
oats), skim milk, most fruits (except grapes,
watermelon and banana’s), nuts and whole
meal bread. In the 2 hours before the event you
don’t need much. You can sip on a sports drink
or have a banana if you feel hungry but you
don’t want to start with a full tummy and the
right breakfast will keep you going till the finish.
The nutritionists at SportsMed can assist with
your nutrition if necessary.

Firepower for Crusaders ahead of Reds clash
AN EXPECTED call-up for
former Wallaby Digby Ioane
will add extra firepower to the
Crusaders side that stirs more
nightmares in the Reds ranks
than any other team.
The Crusaders have averaged
six tries and 47 points, when
demolishing the Reds four times
since they met in the 2013 finals
series.
They meet the Reds on Saturday
night in Brisbane.

The Crusaders see Ioane and

the twin weapons on the wing
to replace the loss of 125kg

Harewood amateur in
New Zealand Open
• By Gordon Findlater
MATT MCLEAN has claimed
one of only six spots out of
172 players who attempted to
qualify for the New Zealand
Open.
McLean, 21, will be one of
only four amateurs to tee off
in today’s New Zealand Open
being played at The Hills
and Millbrook golf clubs in
Queenstown. The open finishes
on Sunday.
To qualify, the Harewood
club amateur finished
second in the regional
qualifying tournament at the
Christchurch Golf Club. Then
McLean sealed his spot in the
open by finishing tied for first
in the last stage of qualifying
in Cromwell on Monday.
“I’ve tried to qualify a few
times in the past and haven’t
made it past the first stage in
Christchurch. I was quietly
confident going into Cromwell
because I’ve played there quite
a few times, so I was pretty
proud of myself to get it done,”
said McLean.
He will not only get to play

top golfers but also some of

“I got to see some of them

Warne congratulated me on
qualifying and he was really
nice to talk to,” said McLean.
The amateur is in his fourth
year at Lincoln University on
a golfing scholarship. He also
works part time in the pro
shop and as a greenkeeper at
the Harewood Golf Club.
McLean’s aim at the open is
to make the cut for the final

to finish as the top amateur.
Strike bowler’s 10-wicket bag
• By Gordon Findlater
SUMNER’S groundsman rolled
the pitch at St Leonards Square
on Saturday morning before
rolling New Brighton’s batting
line-up in the afternoon.
It was the perfect day at the
office for Brendon Wellington
who picked up a 10-wicket haul
in the first day of a two-day
match in the Metro senior A
competition.
Sumner were asked to bat and
scored a first innings total of
294/8 before it became the Wellington
show. The groundsman
come left-arm strike bowler had
career best figures of 7-30 as
New Brighton were dismissed
for 151 in just the 22nd over.
“It helps knowing where the
juicy parts in the pitch are,” said
Wellington.
The home side then enforced
the follow on, allowing Wellington
to complete his 10-wicket
haul before the day was done as
he picked up 3-28 prior to the
close of play.
“I did some pretty good celebratory
moves . . . I even pulled
out a special celebration, the
chainsaw.”
New Brighton will resume on
88/4 in the second day of the
match on Saturday, still 55 runs
behind Sumner.

Warriors contract not out of the question for Kahu
KIWI international Jordan
Kahu says he is open to a
return to New Zealand and
possible contract with the
Warriors.
THe skilful Broncos star has
been gaining local attention
in the Brisbane media with
speculation he may quit the
Wayne Bennett-coached club at
the end of this season.
Kahu told Brisbane’s Courier-
Mail that he will do what’s best
for his young family when it
comes to securing his future
beyond 2017.
THe Kiwi international is offcontract
at the end of this season,
along with a number of his
Brisbane teammates.
While players like Australian
reps Anthony Milford and
Darius Boyd are expected to be
among the first re-signed by the
club, Kahu’s future is still up in
the air.

option as this stage with his
young family, but did not go as
far as Milford to say he was only
considering the Broncos.
With his partner Jess Kent due
to give birth to their second child
next month, Kahu said he would
keep all options open.
“I am doing everything for
them right now,” he told the
Courier-Mail.
“I have to make sure I’m
looking after them first and
foremost. I have to see what the
best offer is and make sure I’m
doing the best for my family.
“I haven’t spoken to my
manager about anything yet
but I will be open to anything.
(But) it would be a lot easier if we
stayed here.”
Kahu is yet to speak to his
manager about his contract
negotiations.
THe Kiwi back, whose family
lives in Wellington, was linked to
a possible move to the Warriors
last year but denied the rumours
Thursday March 9 2017
at the time.
However, now that he was
off-contract, he did not rule out
returning to his home country.
“I’ve always thought about going
home,” Kahu said.
“Auckland (Warriors’ base)
is pretty far from Wellington
though and that’s where both of
our families are. But I’m open to
anything.”

Major makeover for
BMW’s versatile X1
Here’s a
selection
of our great
deals!
OVER 1000 VEHICLES
FOR SALE
Best
Motorbuys
TM
• By Ross Kiddie
GIVEN THE importance
of the SUV market,
especially the mainstream/
affordable section,
BMW wasn’t going to let
development wane on its
popular X1.
Recently, it received a
fairly hefty makeover, so
much so that BMW is
calling it a new generation
model.
While the concept has
been retained, the new
X1 has a more chunky,
muscular appearance
providing an aggressive
stance. The interior has also
been revised to offer more
space, and it carries more
kit in terms of innovation.
However, most
importantly, BMW have
revised the engine lineup
in the X1 to include
two brand new engines
– petrol and diesel. All
four powertrains are
more efficient and more
powerful than the previous
generation units.
The test car was
the xDrive20d, as its
nomenclature suggests it
is a four-cylinder, 2-litre,
turbocharged diesel model.
It is rated by BMW at
140kW and 400Nm, and
lays claim to an amazing
4.9-litre per 100km
(57mpg) combined cycle
fuel usage rating.
I wouldn’t dispute
that figure. During my
testing time the fuel usage
readout was constantly
listing around 6.5l/100km
(43mpg) with a stunning
4l/100km (70mpg)
available instantaneously
at 100km/h in eighth gear
(engine speed 1500rpm).
Yes, the engine drives
through a fabulous eightspeed
traditional gearbox.
There are steering wheelmounted
paddles if you
want to take control over
the gear-shifting process,
and if you want to force
sporty performance, sport
mode engine management
protocols are available
through a central consolemounted
switch. It also
offers eco pro mode for
BMW X1: Useful four-wheel-drive system.
economical motoring, or
normal mode; the latter I
far prefer and as you can
ascertain, it still provides
fuel consumption figures
to envy.
• Price – BMW X1,
$80,600
• Dimensions – Length,
4439mm; width,
1821mm; height,
1612mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
four-wheeldrive,
1995cc, 140kW,
400Nm, eight-speed
automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 7.6sec
• Fuel usage –
4.9l/100km
And the economy
doesn’t come at the cost
of performance. The
X1 in this form is quick
with a 7.6sec standstill
to 100km/h time. It feels
constantly feisty beneath
the accelerator, and when
the turbo boost really kicks
in through the mid-range
the diesel X1 takes on a
sporty persona.
That is matched by a
well-tuned chassis and
suspension set-up. The
fully-independent set-up is
only moderately firmed so
that ride comfort has a high
priority. Yet the X1 can be
driven like a sports sedan,
it has decisive handling
manners and accuracy is
precise, while body balance
is well controlled.
XDrive simply means
four-wheel-drive, and that
adds in the grip factor.
CLEAN LINES: The X1 is fresh and stylish.
Even when conditions don’t
necessitate full involvement
of four-wheel-drive, the
X1 feels strongly attached
to the road all of the time,
and that imparts a secure
sensation underneath.
I like the way the X1
handles, it is almost
unnatural for an SUV and
takes on the characteristics
of BMW’s desirable sports
sedans; its pedigree shows
up in its performance.
Maximum torque is spread
strongly throughout the
rev range, which means
the slightest throttle
provocation will result in
eager response.
The X1 has also been
refreshed so that occupants
get a comfortable ride. It
can be classed as a true
five-seater, although at just
under 4.5m it isn’t a big
vehicle, but for the smaller
family, it is an SUV which
competes fairly in that
segment. And it has a load
space on par for vehicle
type.
The test car was carrying
a few optional extras,
but even at $80,600 the
xDrive20d represents value
for a premium vehicle,
and bear in mind that the
four-model range starts
at $59,900 for the petrolfuelled
two-wheel-drive
sDrive18d.
For the $80k you get
a host of kit including
satellite navigation, central
display screen, i-Drive
infotainment controller,
dual-zone climate control,
idle stop-start, and
ConnectedDrive, a driver
emergency assistance
platform and concierge
service, just to list a few of
the items.
The specification level is
something BMW does well,
you can option up through
a long list of accessories.
For that reason, the X1
is an important car for
BMW. It is priced so that
buyers can reach the brand
and enjoy the benefits
of a European buying
experience.

HOW TO PLAY
It’s like sudoku: each
vertical and horizontal
line has to contain
the numbers 1-6, and
the numbers can’t be
repeated in any row or
column.
But it’s sudoku with a
twist: The numbers in
each heavily outlined
set of squares, called
cages, must produce the
number in the top corner.
For example, 5+ means
the numbers add up to 5,
9x means the numbers
multiply to equal 9.
TIP: Numbers can be repeated in a cage, as long as they are not in the
same line or row.

ADVICE for maintaining
your home
Trish donates to
Camp Quality
better to hire a tradesperson and get the job
done properly than to make costly mistakes.
By law, some jobs need to be done by
a professional, such as gas, plumbing,
drainage and some electrical work. Major
maintenance matters.
MOISTURE
Damp homes are unhealthy and harder to
heat. Combat persistent damp in your home
by:
• Insulating (under the floor, in the ceiling
and walls).
• Ventilating (including extractor fans in
bathrooms and kitchens, opening
windows, using a dehumidifier or
forced ventilation system and
keeping vents clear).
• Heating (aim to keep the indoor
temperature at a minimum of 16C).
• Replacing unflued gas heaters with
electric or flued gas heaters.

NOTICE OF LOCAL TRANSITION PERIOD
We, the Mayors of Christchurch and Selwyn, give notice that we have agreed to
invoke a period of transition to recovery as outlined in the Civil Defence Emergency
Management Act 2002.
We believe this to be in the public interest and desirable to ensure a timely and
effective recovery.
The transition period is effective from when the state of local emergency expires at
6.00pm on Wednesday 1 March 2017 and is effective for 28 days, ending at 6.00pm on
Wednesday 29 March 2017.
The decision to introduce a transition period under the Act is based in part on the
following:
• Rural fire estimates that firefighters may be on the fire ground for another 3-4
weeks managing the residual fire risk from the Port Hills fire
• Significant rainfall to reduce fire risk is likely some time away
• Residents in the affected areas that have suffered loss, or have been evacuated,
are still feeling vulnerable
• Ongoing psychosocial and general welfare assistance will be required for impacted
residents in Selwyn District and Christchurch City
• There will be an ongoing need for cordon/access management to keep
“rubberneckers” out of impacted communities, and also to restrict public access
to some recreational areas due to residual fire risk
• Heightened public information and media interest is likely for some time.
Christchurch Mayor Lianne Dalziel and Selwyn Mayor Sam Broughton

Public Notices
The Ministry of Social Development (MSD)
in Papanui is moving to new offices.
Work and Income and Child Youth and Family will now be
located at 56 Langdons Road with the new site opening
at 1:00pm on Monday 13 March.
It’s an important part of our security that we know who
is coming into our sites. Our security guards will have a
quick conversation with people before they come into our
offices to discuss why a person is there, and help make
sure we don’t admit anyone who might represent a risk
to the safety of other clients or our staff.
If the person doesn’t have an appointment, they’ll be
asked for ID, but not having ID won’t mean people can’t
come into our offices.
Our clients now also have access to a wide range of our
services on the phone and online. This includes help with
urgent costs, like food or emergency dental treatment,
using our online service MyMSD.
Thank you from the local MSD team.

Paddy’s Day
While many of us take part in
celebrating St Patrick's Day,
there are probably few
New Zealand's who know much
about the Patron Saint of Ireland
KNOWN as the ‘Apostle of Ireland’, St
Patrick is one of the world’s most popular
saints.
Enslaved as a young teen by pagans and
Druids, he turned to God while in captivity.
Escaping at age 20, he returned to his
family and began studying for the
priesthood.
He preached throughout Ireland
converting many for 40 years. During his
teachings he often used shamrocks to
explain the Holy Trinity - Father, Son, Holy
Spirit.
He died at Saul, the site of the first
church he built, on March 17.
St Patrick’s Day commemorates his
death.
