ARE YOU UP FOR IT? 

A photo of Jesel Royokada leaping at the finish line of last year’s Star 

Media City2Surf has become synonymous with the spirit of the event. 

Yesterday he was given a helping hand to practice his trademark leap 

by Star Media’s events team Jon Holmes and Vanessa Fleming before 

Sunday’s big event. 

When the Fijian Seventh-Day Adventist Church pastor crosses the line, 

he won’t be doing it alone. He has enlisted other parishioners from his 

church to run alongside him.

Health 

officials to 

apologise 

for stalled 

investigation 

into death 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

HEALTH OFFICIALS will 

apologise to grieving father Geoff 

Booth over the stalled investigation 

into the death of his son Liam. 

Mr Booth laid a complaint with 

the Canterbury District Health 

Board after his 21-year-old son died 

of suspected suicide in October. 

He is questioning whether Liam 

received the necessary help in the 

weeks leading up to when his son 

was found dead in Beckenham Park 

near his flat. 

Last week Mr Booth contacted the 

CDHB without success to find out 

how the investigation was progressing. 

The Star then put formal questions 

into the CDHB also asking 

about the investigation. 

The following day (Wednesday), 

a CDHB family adviser phoned Mr 

Booth saying there was no record of 

the complaint made in October. 

Before then, Mr Booth said he had 

no communication from the CDHB 

since a meeting with key clinical 

managers in October. 

He met with managers last year 

to be informed there would be an 

internal review of Liam’s care along 

with a review from the Coroner. 

The review of Liam’s death is still 

active before the Coroner. 

Mr Booth said he was concerned 

about Liam’s case and questioned 

who else the CDHB could have let 

down. 

“Who else have they let down? 

Who else is waiting on something?” 

Mr Booth said.

FROM THE 

REPORTER’S DESK 

AN INTERNATIONAL 

cricketer, the Ghetto Hustlers, 

a couple of cold bevvies and a 

Snapchat sounds like a recipe for 

disaster. 

But not in our page 3 story. 

Black Caps bowler Ish Sodhi 

was asked via Snapchat if he 

would play for the Burnside 

West Ghetto Hustlers in their 

T20 Metro Cavaliers section 

two match against Parklands on 

Sunday. 

And to the team’s amazement, 

he said yes. 

It was a big occasion – more 

than 100 spectators watched as 

Sodhi took an early wicket at 

Burnside Park and helped guide 

the Hustlers to victory. 

He even stuck around after the 

match for a cool beverage with 

his new teammates. 

It’s that time of the year again 

– the Star Media City2Surf. 

Every year thousands of people 

take part in the iconic fun 

run – some to raise money for 

charity, some to beat personal 

goals, some to win, and others to 

just have a good time. 

Entries will still be open on 

the morning of Sunday’s event. 

Are you up for it?

Team bowled by Sodhi’s Snapchat 

• By Gordon Findlater 

THIS IS what it looks like when 

you send a Snapchat inquiring 

if an international cricketer will 

play for your social club team. 

And then he replies “yes.’’ 

The Burnside West Ghetto 

Hustlers, didn’t have to do much 

hustling to get Black Cap Ish 

Sodhi to play for their basketball 

singlet-wearing cricket team last 

Sunday. 

Apparently it was as easy as 

sending a message to his partner 

asking if he was keen. 

And even though Sodhi was 

part of the Black Caps team 

which lost to England at Hagley 

Park on Saturday, he was eager 

to take the field for the mighty 

Ghetto Hustlers in their T20 

Metro Cavaliers section two 

match against Parklands at 

Burnside Park. 

Ghetto Hustlers captain Brad 

Reid said he inquired about 

the leg spinner’s availability 

through Sodhi’s partner who 

Reid studied with at Canterbury 

University. 

However, there were two 

hurdles left. They had to clear 

it with Canterbury Cricket, 

because he wasn’t a registered 

player for their team. 

“They thought we were taking 

the mickey to start with,” said 

Reid. 

Then they heard their opposition 

– Parklands – could be 

defaulting the game due to not 

being able to get enough players. 

But once they learned they 

would be playing against Sodhi 

a few calls were made and all of 

a sudden those who were previously 

absent were ready to play. 

The Ghetto Hustlers even got a 

pitch upgrade. 

In their 10 years of existence 

this was the first and probably 

the last time the Ghetto Hustlers 

would play on the premier 

wicket. 

The crowd of around 100 club 

locals was also the largest turnout 

in their history. 

Their star man lived up to his 

reputation by taking an early 

wicket. 

“He celebrated his first wicket 

like he’d just taken his first 

wicket at international level, it 

was quite funny,” said Reid. 

Sodhi finished with figures of 

3/8. However, it could have been 

better. 

“He actually got another 

wicket off a full toss but he was 

so embarrassed he let the guy

come back to the crease.” 

Chasing just 83 for victory 

the Ghetto Hustlers sealed a 

five-wicket win without Sodhi 

needing to pad up. In true 

Ghetto Hustler fashion he even 

stuck around to celebrate victory 

with a cool beverage. 

“New Zealand should be really 

proud of a guy like Ish. He 

even stuck around to bowl a few 

balls to a guy from the other 

team that didn’t get to face him 

earlier.” 


In Brief 

Fire rages, homes at risk 

FIREWORKS UNCHANGED 

If changes were to be made on the 

location and date of the annual 

New Brighton fireworks event, 

they would not happen this year. 

The city council completed two 

surveys on the event in November 

which received 1033 responses. 

They asked if it should be moved 

from New Brighton or if it should 

be held during Matariki. City 

council events and arts manager 

Karena Finnie said after April, 

staff would go through the annual 

review of its events, and provide 

an update. But she said any 

changes would not be made this 

year. 

CAR PARK REVIEW 

A report on whether 60min of 

free car parking in the central 

city can be continued will be 

presented to city councillors next 

week. The city council’s 1hr of free 

parking offer on its off-street CBD 

car parks ended on Saturday. The 

offer would be reviewed and the 

report given to city councillors 

to decide whether it could be 

continued, and in what form. 

AWARD FOR QUARRY 

Halswell Quarry has been 

awarded the South Island’s first 

Green Flag Award. The New 

Zealand Recreation Association, 

which oversees the award in 

Christchurch, presented it to 

recognise the former quarry as 

a well-managed park and green 

space. City council regional parks 

operations manager Kay Holder 

said years of hard work had finally 

paid off with the “prestigious 

award.” 

RAINBOW FLAG TO FLY 

The rainbow flag will fly outside 

the city council’s civic offices this 

month in support of Christchurch 

Pride Week. The annual event 

aims to bring together the diverse 

groups within the city’s larger 

LGBTIA+ rainbow whanau. 

The events feature a range of 

entertainment from March 15 to 

25. The council has been asked 

to fly the flag by Christchurch 

Pride, a non-profit volunteer 

group.

App nabs 

disability car 

park abusers 

• By Bridget Rutherford 

MORE THAN 100 reports of 

people illegally using disability 

car parks have been made since a 

new app was launched to curb the 

problem. 

In October the city council’s 

Smart Cities programme and 

CCS Disability Action launched 

Access Aware, allowing anyone to 

report people parking in disability 

spaces without permits. 

It instantly sends a notification 

and location to the city council’s 

parking enforcement team. 

Smart Cities programme manager 

Teresa McCallum said since 

the app was launched on October 

1 there had been 141 “abuse reports,” 

with one $150 ticket issued. 

“The majority of the abuse 

reports we have received are in 

private parking spaces where the 

council cannot issue infringement 

notices.” 

Last month, 10 trial sensors 

were placed on central city disability 

car parks. The sensors 

have Bluetooth technology, which 

pair with a portable chip given to 

those with disability passes. If a 

vehicle parks in the spaces without 

a chip, enforcement officers 

would get a notification.

WHEN SHE was pulled over 

on Gloucester St for speeding, 

Esther Dodds presented 

Constable Kurt Davison with 

her driver’s licence. 

What the 71-year-old didn’t 

realise was the licence, a black 

motor vehicle book, hadn’t been 

valid for the better part of four 

decades. 

“I’ve never been more confused 

in my life. I didn’t know 

you had to have a photo on your 

licence nowadays,” she said. 

After driving Mrs Dodds 

home, Constable Davison approached 

his colleague, Senior 

Constable Robyn Pewhairangi 

with a “challenge.” 

She met Mrs Dodds weekly 

to help her study the road 

rules as part of a five-week 

programme that helps people 

get their licence – though it is 

largely targeted at younger drivers. 

“Esther studied hard beyond 

what was asked of her,” Senior 

Constable Pewhairangi said. 

She said “empowering” people 

by helping them get their licence 

makes the road safer, reduces 

death and serious injury. 

“I wish I’d been caught sooner. 

It was the best thing that’s happened 

to me,” Mrs Dodds said. 

When she passed the test, she 

was met with a “huge hug” from 

her tutor. 

“I didn’t think they’d let us go 

for our licence at our age. My 

husband always said I was too 

old and that stuck in my head,” 

she said. 

“But it’s helped me get my 

confidence back . . . it’s given me 

a sense of freedom.” 

Now Mrs Dodds has set 

herself a goal to visit her son and 

grandchildren in Otira. 

“When I get my full licence 

I’m going to pack up the cat and 

the dog and drive to the West 

Coast,” she said. 

She is also inspiring other

A Star Media Event 

Workplace entries up for 

• By Julia Evans 

TEAMS OF doctors, 

construction workers, 

accountants and scientists will 

be ready and waiting at the start 

line of the Star Media City2Surf. 

This year’s event has seen 

record number of team entries 

from workplaces. Last year, there 

were 130 teams, this year 170. 

Star Media events manager 

Vanessa Fleming said more than 

2000 participants are made up 

from teams. 

“We are seeing an increase of 

team entries this year with health 

and well-being becoming more 

front of mind in local businesses 

which is great to see,” she said. 

The team from Pegasus Health 

have had 145 in training leading 

up to the event. 

Chief executive Vince Barry 

said the team included general 

practitioners, practice nurses, 

administrators, 24 Hour Surgery 

and Pegasus support services. 

“We encourage our staff and 

general practice teams to enter 

the City2Surf because it’s good 

for their health and mental 

wellbeing. It’s also a great opportunity 

for them to socialise and 

meet other people working in 

health from across Canterbury.”

it’s a highlight for our staff,” he 

said. 

But the biggest group is once 

again from Maori health provider 

He Waka Tapu. 

This year the social service 

agency locked in 1300 entrants 

within a week. 

Ms Fleming said the weather is

Health officials 

to apologise 

•From page 1 

Mental Health Services acting 

general manager Barbara Wilson 

said the CDHB wished to sincerely 

apologise to Mr Booth for the 

lack of acknowledgement of his 

complaint into Liam’s care when 

he was brought to its emergency 

department in September. 

She said the CDHB received Mr 

Booth’s complaint on October 11. 

“We can assure Mr Booth that 

the points raised in his complaint 

will also be addressed in the Serious 

Event Review,” Ms Wilson said. 

The Serious Event Review is the 

CDHB’s process when there has 

been a serious adverse event to 

identify opportunities to improve 

its systems and processes. 

A family adviser will be in 

communication with Mr Booth 

and Liam’s family to provide 

updates on the progress of the 

review. 

Eighteen days before before his 

death, Liam had threatened to 

harm himself at Halswell Quarry 

Park. Liam was taken to Christchurch 

Hospital for assessment 

before he was discharged. 

Mr Booth has since told the 

CDHB that hospital staff had 

wrongly discharged Liam and 

taken his word he was not going 

to harm himself.

on elderly people,” retiree 

Graham Tate said. 

“As they get older loneliness 

can be a factor, they need to 

get out and go to the movies, 

or to the mall for that interaction. 

I think that this is going 

to impose on these residents 

who otherwise rely on the 

Orbiter both mentally and 

physically.” 

The 83-year-old said although 

he still drove, at some 

stage he would need to take 

the Orbiter. 

ECan says it will look at how 

it can continue servicing the 

area. 

UPSET: Diana Isaac Retirement Village residents are 

worried they will lose their independence if changes to the 

Orbiter bus route go ahead. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER 

The Orbiter currently runs 

along QE II Drive, right into 

Philpotts Rd and onto Innes 

Rd. 

But the Northern Corridor 

work will restrict right-hand 

turning in and out of Philpotts 

Rd. 

ECan plans to change the 

route so the bus would use 

Cranford St then Innes Rd, 

skipping out the QE II Drive 

and Philpotts Rd section 


altogether. 

The current bus stop outside 

the village’s entrance on Philpotts 

Rd would move 900m 

away to Innes Rd. 

ECan planned to change the 

route later this year, though a 

date has not been confirmed. 

Mr Tate said elderly residents 

could not walk a couple 

of kilometres to and from the 

bus. 

They had devised an alternate 

route that added 3min 

onto the journey, which would 

see the bus go up to the next 

roundabout to turn around, 

he said. 

But ECan chairman Steve 

Lowndes said that would cost 

about $350,000 a year and 

amounted to more than 

300km extra a day. 

He said ECan was still 

looking at other means of 

continuing the “coverage and 

accessibility” in the area. It 

could include “one in five, or 

one in 10” Orbiters going via 

the village. 

The news comes after ECan 

announced last month it was 

considering cutting six of its 

lowest performing bus routes 

to plug a funding shortfall. 

ECan and Ryman Healthcare 

staff will meet regarding 

the petition. 

Ryman Healthcare chief 

executive Gordon MacLeod 

and St Bede’s College deputy 

rector Gerry Davidson had 

also written a letter of support 

for the petition. 

Dr Webb said he hoped 

ECan would reconsider. 

“They [retirees] might not 

be happy driving themselves. 

They want to be independent 

and public transport is the 

only way they can do that.”

City home still one of the most expensive 

• By Corazon Miller 

THE FORMER Strowan home of 

well-known philanthropist Neil 

Graham was the most expensive 

to be sold in Christchurch in the 

past five years. 

The five-bedroom, fivebathroom 

home on a 3077 sq m 

Glandovey Rd section, went to 

auction in 2016 selling for $5.6 

million. It had a capital value of 

$4.7 million. 

Mr Graham, who co-founded 

Mainfreight and was made an 

officer of the New Zealand Order 

of Merit in 2013, passed away in 

2015 after a long illness. 

He had previously bought 

the home, which was developed 

on two sections, in 2012 off 

mortgage and real estate business 

founder Mike Pero for $3.9 

million – the highest house sale 

price in the city that year. 

It had a six-car garage, heated 

swimming pool, home theatre 

and a stream boundary. 

Mr Graham kept a collection 

of luxury cars, including what 

was believed to be the most 

expensive car in New Zealand 

– a $2.8 million Aston Martin 

supercar. 

A home on Northwood’s Harts 

Creek Lane sold for the second 

highest amount in Christchurch 

– just over $5 million in April 

BIG BUCKS: In Christchurch, this Glandovey Rd (above) home was the biggest seller, while in the most expensive in the 

country was in Auckland’s Orakei (top right), selling for $38.5 million. A Cardrona Valley Rd home was the most expensive in the 

Queenstown area (bottom right). 

2014. 

A Huntsbury home on Millway 

Place sold for $4.5 million 

in September 2014, while one on 

Glenstrae Rd in Redcliffs sold for 

$4.2 million in May 2016. 

Data provided to the NZ Herald 

by Homes.co.nz shows the 

homes were among the top sales 

in five major centres in the past 

five years – Auckland, Tauranga, 

Wellington, Christchurch and 

Queenstown. 

In total, the value was more 

than a quarter of a billion dollars 

– $256,131,437. 

The most valuable of all properties 

nationwide was an seven 

bedroom clifftop mansion in 

Auckland’s Huriaro Place, sold 

in 2013 to businessman Deyi Shi 

for $39 million. 

The sale, four years ago 

eclipses, that of this year’s most 

expensive sale to date by more 

than $10m. 

Auckland’s second most 

expensive sale was the former 

Dotcom mansion which topped 

the list of nationwide property 

sales in 2016, selling for $32.5 

million. 

Outside of Auckland, Queenstown 

saw some of the country’s 

top sales. 

A luxury property spread 

across 383sq m on Cardrona Valley 

Rd was sold in 2015 for $13.8 

million.

CHRISTCHURCH 

Central Labour MP 

Duncan Webb has gone 

back to the future. 

The former insurance 

lawyer has just moved 

into his new electorate 

office, which is somewhere 

he used to spend a lot of 

time – the former courts 

complex. 

Dr Webb said it was 

ironic he had moved into 

the Durham St North 

complex, given he used to 

work there before getting 

into politics last year. 

“It is a little back to the 

future,” he said. 

“It’s good, it’s a lovely 

spot.” 

They moved into part of 

the former victim support 

building at the back of the 

complex last month after 

months of searching. 

It looks out over the 

Avon River and Victoria 

Square and is in the heart 

of the city, he said. 

Dr Webb, a former Lane 

Neave partner, said although 

he never worked in 

that particular building, he 

knew the complex well.

Celebrating 30 Years! 

From the back room of a salon as Employment Educators and Motivators 

in 1988 Avonmore Tertiary Institute has evolved from a hairdressing 

vocational training school to a multi campus private 

education provider operating throughout New Zealand. 

Margaret Yates was a well known hairdresser in the 

1970s and 80s in Christchurch, known for her high 

expectations, salons in the central city and her 

peroxide blonde bob. She traveled with the first 

New Zealand Hairdressing team to Las Vegas for 

the world championships in 1984, followed by Paris 

in 1986 and then Frankfurt in 1988. Margaret 

received an MBE for services to the Hairdressing 

Industry in the 1992 Honours List. 

Due to huge demand Employment Educators and 

Motivators moved to a large campus in Avonside 

Drive in 1990. Following a large expansion in 

Avonside over more than 10 years into multiple 

programmes in Hospitality, IT, Business Studies and 

the licensing of Avonmore material to campuses 

around the country, Avonmore Tertiary Institute as 

it was now called needed more room at the 

Christchurch Campus. 

With students coming to Avonmore from the 

greater Christchurch area it was time for the 

Christchurch campus to make the move into 

Central Christchurch where only one bus was 

required from nearly anywhere in the city. 

Avonmore Christchurch was busy and growing 

across the country. Until the February 2011 

earthquake hit. Luckily everyone escaped 

unharmed, but the buildings did not. 

The current Christchurch Campus was built in 

response to the loss of the buildings. Not only has a 

new purpose built campus offered Christchurch 

students a safe place to study but has also played a 

part in bringing hundreds of people back into the 

central city. 

Avonmore Christchurch was the first business to be 

reopened in the Christchurch red zone in 2013 by 

Former Prime Minister John Key. The new campus 

on the corner of Hereford and High Street includes 

a purpose built training salon and cafe that help to 

truly prepare students for working in industry. 

Throughout the 90s and 00s Avonmore started to 

expand to other cities around New Zealand with 

current Campuses in Christchurch, Tauranga, 

Rotorua, North Shore and Manukau. 

Over many years Avonmore has developed 

multi-intake, hands-on courses run by industry 

experienced tutors developed on the back of high 

expectations, quality learning systems and industry 

experienced tutors. Avonmore's focus in its earlier 

days through to today has always been on students 

training in a hands-on environment wherever 

possible with the aim to produce students that 

have the hands-on skills that employers need. 

Graduates are now found around New Zealand and 

the world in a range of careers. 

Avonmore has a focus on helping students lift 

themselves from no or few qualifications to 

become quality graduates who understand the 

expectations and requirements of the workplace. 

With integrated CV development, job search, 

industry links, quality New Zealand qualifications 

and history in the industry, graduates are truly 

ready for their new employers. Over the years 

many things have changed, except for the passion 

to see students turned into high quality graduates 

that contribute to the economy in a positive way. 

Mike Hadley, Director of Avonmore Tertiary 

Institute says "Because of the systems that have 

been developed over many years we know that 

small classes with hands-on education offer a much 

more personalised learning experience resulting in 

high quality work ready graduates. Avonmore has 

won not once but twice the Private Tertiary 

Education Provider of the Year award (2006 & 2013) 

due to our experience over 30 years. Our courses 

are a spring board for students that come in with 

low level qualifications and gain not only 

certificates and diplomas but real work ready skills 

that will offer them options for the future." 

Avonmore’s new facilities on the corner of High 

Street and Hereford Street offer purpose built 

facilities for students studying Hospitality, 

Hairdressing, Tourism & Travel and IT.

Paralympians inspire respect 

I HAVE just returned from the 

Winter Paralympics in Korea. 

I was there to support the 

Kiwi team of course, but also to 

highlight the contribution these 

athletes make to inspire respect, 

equality and inclusion of disabled 

people in our society. 

The 2018 Winter Paralympics 

span nine days and finish on Sunday 

in PyeongChang. 

Over 650 of the world’s best para 

athletes will compete in 80 medal 

events over six sports. These include 

alpine and cross-country skiing, 

snowboarding, para ice hockey, 

wheelchair curling and biathlon. 

New Zealand is represented by 

three impressive athletes, Adam 

Hall, of Dunedin, in the alpine skiing 

standing, Corey Peters, of New 

Plymouth, in the alpine skiing sitting 

and Carl Murphy, of Wanaka, 

in the snowboarding. 

At the time of writing Corey 

Peters had won a well deserved 

bronze medal in the downhill. He 

won a silver in Sochi in 2014, so his 

Dad says he only needs one more 

to have a complete set. And Adam 

SEVEN YEARS on from the 

quakes, Christchurch is a city that 

has changed so much. 

For people who come to visit 

who remember it only as it was 

before the earthquakes, there 

are whole chunks of the city you 

wouldn’t even recognise. 

While it’s really great to see 

wonderful new areas of our city 

that the community loves springing 

up, it’s also often sad to reflect 

on the memories that go with 

places that have been lost. 

That’s why it was so great last 

week to be able to go along to 

the opening of the new Victoria 

Square – which as much as possible 

has returned the area to what 

it was like before the earthquakes. 

This is a part of our city with a 

very rich history – for Ngai Tahu 

it was an important gathering 

place, and for early Pakeha settles 

it’s housed everything from police 

barracks to post offices and dog 

pounds.

SUCCESS: Corey Peters and 

Nicky Wagner at PyeongChang. 

Hall has won a bronze medal in the 

Men’s Super Combined. 

The Paralympics is an exciting 

and important sporting event 

but it’s also a movement with 

wider objectives. The values of the 

Paralympics are courage, determination, 

inspiration and equality, 

and the athletes, teams and 

organisation committees really live 

up to these expectations. So much 

so, that today the Paralympics is 

considered the world’s number one 

sporting event for driving social 

inclusion. 

The census shows that 24 per 

cent of all New Zealanders have 

some sort of disability. And disabled 

people tell me that they want 

more choice, more control and 

more opportunities in their lives. 

The Paralympics are just one way 

of illustrating just what disabled 

people can achieve, if they are 

given a chance.

Like most Cantabrians, I have 

really fond memories of that part 

of our city. From primary school 

singing competitions at the Town 

Hall to waiting as a 16 year old 

to get autographs from Bono and 

the Edge of U2 at the Park Royal 

Hotel when they toured. Everyone 

who’s grown up in Christchurch 

or lived here for a period of 

time will have their own special 

memory of this place. 

What’s really nice to think 

about is that there is now a whole 

group of young Cantabrians 

growing up who will never have 

got to come into this space since 

the earthquakes who will now be 

able to make their own memories 

in this part of our city. 

I want to pay tribute to all the 

people who worked so hard to 

restore this space and add new 

touches. It’s another sign of progress 

in our city and somewhat 

unique for a construction project 

to be all about returning something 

to what it was instead of 

building something new. 

It’s great that even after all we’ve 

been through, this is a city able 

to preserve our memories and 

history while providing excellent 

public spaces for future generations 

to enjoy. 

•Megan Woods is the Minister 

of Greater Christchurch Regeneration 

YOU WOULD have heard 

by now that Zephyr Airways 

has unveiled the world’s first 

self-piloted electric flying taxi, 

(called Cora), and that our 

city and region are playing an 

important role in ensuring that 

it can be trialled and tested 

before it enters the transport 

market. 

Before I go any further, let 

me answer the first question I 

knew would be asked – no, we 

are not putting any ratepayers’ 

dollars into this venture. But it 

is important for our future. 

At the beginning of this 

term, we sat down as a new 

council and we worked out 

what we wanted to achieve – 

what our aspirations were for 

the city as we continued the 

rebuild and created opportunities 

for regeneration. 

We started from the premise 

that we were city of opportunity 

for all – a place that was 

open to new ideas, new people 

and new ways of doing things 

– a place where anything was 

possible. 

Within that vision, we captured 

the essence of what this 

announcement means for our 

city and region – a place where 

we and others can explore and 

realise new ideas. 

Yes, we need to focus on 

getting things fixed, (the road 

cones are the ever-present 

reminder of the work we still 

need to do), however, at the 

same time it is vital that we are 

open to all the opportunities 

that will come from the challenges 

the world will confront. 

The future of transport will 

be so different to what we are

used to today. I read an article 

the other day that said by 

2025, 80% of the world’s buses 

will be electric. We have none 

operating in Christchurch 

today, and New Zealand has a 

clunky contracting model that 

is not controlled by the city, 

which could stand in the way 

of significant progress towards 

electric fleets. 

Christchurch sees itself at the 

forefront of future transportation 

with other projects in the 

city such as the Ohmio autonomous 

vehicle trail at the airport 

and the Yoogo electric car 

sharing scheme, which is now 

available to residents. These are 

the way of the future. 

I have had the privilege of 

seeing Cora, which also represents 

the future. Cora rises 

like a helicopter and flies like a 

plane, eliminating the need for 

a runway and creating the possibility 

of taking off from places 

like rooftops. Cora will use 

self-flying software combined 

with human oversight, making 

the future of flying possible for 

people without training. And 

of course Cora is powered by 

the same kind of technology 

that helps electric cars contribute 

to a more sustainable 

world. 

It’s a great opportunity for 

our city and region as we 

become known around the 

world as the place where ideas 

become reality and dreams really 

do come true.

What’s important for Christchurch 

over the next 10 years? 

Have your say on our Long Term Plan 

Every three years we review our 10-year plan. We want your views on how best to manage the infrastructure and services that make 

Christchurch work. We outline our priorities, our projects and how we propose to pay for it all. This is an opportunity to have your say. 

Repairing our pipes and roads remains a high priority. 

We need to keep the city running and provide libraries, 

community facilities and events we enjoy. Rates are our main 

source of income. Our assets also provide revenue. 

To prioritise essential infrastructure work we are proposing a 

5.5 per cent increase to the average rate in the 2018–19 financial 

year with a view to a gradual decline in the rate of increase in 

the following years. 

We know the state of our roads is a huge 

frustration in the city’s recovery. We want 

to prioritise road repairs. We’re also taking 

the opportunity to re-design our network of 

cycleways, footpaths and traffic controls to 

make it safer for everyone and to reduce 

traffic congestion. 

Transport network 

$1049m 

Stormwater and 

flood protection 

$678m 

Some parts of Christchurch are 

more flood-prone. We want to 

reduce the flood risk to homes and 

businesses. 

Whatever goes into our gutters can 

end up in our rivers so you can help 

clean up the stormwater. 

We expect a large number of workers to 

return to the central city. If they all travel 

in a single occupant vehicle our roads will 

become more congested. 

Community facilities are important 

because they bring people together. 

We’ll complete or progress a wide range 

of projects, our priorities are: 

• Social housing renewals and replacements 

• Library resources 

• Recreation and sport buildings and 

plant renewals 

• Hornby library, customer services and 

south-west leisure centre 

• Recreation and sports grounds renewals 

• Ngā Puna Wai sports hub Stage 1 

• Linwood Woolston Aquatic Facility 

• Performing Arts Precinct 

• New Brighton Hot Pools 

Community facilities 

• Metro Sports Facility (Council’s share under 

agreement with the Crown) 

• Multi-use Arena (Council’s share under 

agreement with the Crown). 

$835m 

Here are our key 

projects – what we 

are repairing and 

building over the 

next 10 years 

Parks and heritage 

$267m 

We are a city of parks and gardens boasting a 

network of 130km of walking and mountain bike 

tracks that we propose to maintain and improve. 

We plan to delay repairing the Canterbury 

Provincial Council Buildings until 2029 because 

the project will cost an estimated $204 million. 

Wastewater 

$641m 

Drinking water 

$495m 

We enjoy high quality drinking 

water. We need to protect this 

by replacing damaged pipes 

and ensuring that our 

well-heads are secure. 

Our network of pipes carry water from 

kitchens and bathrooms. We’ll provide 

for population growth but put on 

hold the work to replace wastewater 

infrastructure to free up funding to 

improve roads. This means in wet 

weather there could be more 

overflows. Is this acceptable? 

Have we got the priorities right?

Specialist tasked with museum upgrade 


• By Sarla Donovan 

OKAINS BAY lies tucked at the 

bottom of a steep, winding road 

on the green eastern edge of 

Banks Peninsula. 

It’s famous for a picturesque 

campground, spectacular 

Waitangi Day celebrations – 

and the Okains Bay Maori and 

Historical Museum. 

Two thousand people packed 

into the small settlement on 

February 6 this year, eager to 

catch sight of the magnificent 

waka paddling up the Opara 

River, hear the powhiri – and 

see the museum’s renowned 

collection of Maori artefacts. 

Amassed over a lifetime by 

local farmer Murray Thacker, it 

is internationally famous, with 

one of the biggest selections of 

hei-tiki in the country, a superb 

collection of cloaks, some going 

back 200 years, and many rare 

kete and taiaha. 

Six huia bird can be seen 

there, when only 150 remain 

worldwide and just 60 of those in 

New Zealand. 

The fineness and rarity of the 

3000-piece collection prompted 

North Islander Ian Day to 

take up a recently established 

directorship position at the 

museum last year. 

With a Masters degree in 

museum studies from Victoria 

University in Wellington, Mr 

Day was brought in by the 

board of trustees as part of a 

push towards professionalisation. 

“Meeting best practice 

museum standards is where 

we’re heading,” he says. “The 

board saw a clear need that they 

had to up their ballgame. It’s 

a common thing with smaller 

museums – they reach a point 

where they have to either get 

better – or close down.” 

Mr Day has variously been 

the director at Waikato 

Coalfields Museum in Huntly, 

a carver at a number of marae 

and most recently manager at 

Howick Historical Village in 

Auckland. 

Prior to that he was based 

in the red dust of the Western 

Australian desert, advising 

museums on heritage and sacred 

sites and working with tourism 

providers. 

A specialist in small regional 

museums, he shifted to Okains 

Bay a year ago with his partner 

and two burmese cats and they 

live on-site. 

It’s the nature of the job to 

move around, he says. 

His appointment followed a 

visit to the museum from Te 

Papa 18 months ago, when the 

Maori collection was declared 

as being of international significance 

and other collections 

nationally important, including 

the antique firearms, small boats 

and some of the buildings. 

Along with managing the 

museum day-to-day, Mr Day is 

involved in writing policies and 

reports, undertaking conservation 

work where needed, renewing 

and improving exhibitions, 

marketing and staff management 

– “everything.” 

As one of the hubs of the local 

community, it’s got to strengthen 

that role, he says. 

“It’s got to provide a better level 

of care for its collections. We are 

looking at a five-year redevelopment 

programme so the layout of 

the buildings will work better for 

the visiting public, without losing 

the ambience and the special 

character that it’s got. The aim is 

for long-term sustainability.” 

OKAINS BAY farmer Murray 

Thacker (right), who died last year, 

started collecting at the 

age of 11 and it quickly 

became a lifetime passion. 

In 1968 he bought 

the old dairy factory 

to house his collection, 

opening the Okains Bay 

Maori and Historical 

Museum in 1977. 

Much of the carving 

on site was created 

specifically by master 

carver John Rua, who 

began attending Van 

Asch School for the 

Deaf as a child. 

It was at Van Asch that he began 

learning woodwork and carved sea 

creatures, kiwi and zoo animals.

standards and

It’s difficult to apply for 

significant funding to support 

the redevelopment until the 

groundwork is in place, he says 

and that’s what he’s been doing 

over the past year. 

Come April, the fundraising 

His work was later shown in 

an exhibition, whereupon he met 

master carver Hone 

Te Kauru Taiapa, who 

invited him to learn traditional 

Toi Whakairo 

at the New Zealand 

Institute for Maori Arts 

and Crafts in Rotorua. 

Mr Rua graduated 

with honours in 1972 

and two years later 

began carving for the 

Okains Bay museum, 

later shifting to 

Christchurch where he 

set up his own business 

at the Artist’s Quarters 

in Oxford Tce. In 1980 he began 

work on the meeting house and 

dining room at Ngā Hau E Whā 

National Marae in Pages Rd. 

drive will pick up pace. Mr Day 

estimates it will take around $1 

million over the next five years 

to fully upgrade. 

Report writing takes up a lot 

of his time, but he also works 

hands-on to improve the condition 

of the displays, helped by 

museum custodian Sharon 

Henderson. 

Reorganising the eclectic colonial 

collection is under way. 

Mr Day observes it lacks a 

narrative at the moment – but 

presenting it in a more appealing 

way without losing the quirkiness 

will be a big job. 

“You act as a mnemonic aid; 

that’s part of the community 

function. It contains the identity 

of the people, a museum.” 

He smiles when asked whether 

he will see out the next five years 

in the bay. It partly depends on 

his health. But he is enjoying the 

supportive community. Working 

in smaller museums is uniquely 

satisfying. 

“The stories are much closer to 

the surface and more fascinating. 

You know you’re making a 

difference.”

after the initial qualifying round. 

One hundred and twenty riders 

battled it out as the sun set over 

the city skyline providing a spectacular 

night of entertainment in 

late November. 

“It was amazing to win and 

was a win for cycling too,” event 

organiser John McKenzie said. “It 

was great to be recognised for all 

the effort made for a new innovative 

event in its first year.” 

ASB Young Sportswoman 

of the Year: Winner – Amelia 

Garvey (golf). 

Garvey’s impressive year 

was capped off by winning the 

NZ Stroke Play Championship 

and making the cut at the NZ

Canty Sports Awards 

Endacott, Barwick recognised as legends 

Two new sporting 

identities were inducted 

as Sporting Legends of 

Canterbury at the Nexia 

New Zealand Canterbury 

Sports Awards. Sports 

reporter Gordon Findlater 

takes a look at the new 

inductees 

Frank Endacott: 

When Endacott arrived at the 

awards on Friday, he had no idea 

what was about to unfold. He 

thought he was there to support 

his son Gary who he thought was 

up for an award. 

Canterbury’s most recognised 

rugby league coach became the 

first in his code to be inducted. 

“It was the biggest shock I’ve 

had in years,” said Endacott. 

“When they came out for the 

induction and started listing the 

things this person had done I 

thought what’s going on here?” 

“Everyone was looking at me 

smiling . . . they all knew and 

I didn’t . . . my wife told me I 

looked like a stunned mullet and 

she’s never seen me like that in 

50-odd years.” 

Endacott has attended a 

number of Canterbury sports 

awards where he has seen others 

inducted as sporting legends of 

Canterbury. However, he says 

he could never have imagined 

himself being inducted. 

“To be up there with names 

like Sir Richard Hadlee, Ivan 

Mauger and Ronnie Moore is 

neat, I’m over the moon.” 

Endacott was first introduced 

to rugby league on the day 

Shirley Rugby League Club 

opened in 1955. He played for 

Addington and Hornby and 

made the Junior Kiwis in 1963. 

However, after starting a family 

he decided to turn his attentions 

to coaching. 

After leading Addington and 

Hornby to club titles, he then 

coached the Kiwis from 1995- 

2000, the Auckland Warriors 

reserves from 1995-1997 and the 

LEGENDS: (Left to right) – Julyan Falloon, chief executive Sport Canterbury; Pat Barwick, 

inductee; Craig Rhodes, partner, Nexia New Zealand; and Frank Endacott, inductee. 

INDUCTEE: Pat Barwick stands next to her sporting legends 

banner. 

Warriors NRL side from 1997- 

1999. 

However, Endacott maintains 

that his favourite coaching accomplishment 

was coaching 

Canterbury to a famous trouncing 

of a star-studded Auckland 

side 36-12 at the Addington 

Showgrounds in 1993. 

He also coached in England 

from 1999-2005 with the Wigan 

Warriors and Widnes Vikings. 

On stage, Endacott spoke 

about the highlights of his 

coaching career and has the 

crowd in fits of laughter when 

he told a story of when he was 

suspended by Canterbury Rugby 

League for three weeks during 

his time coaching Addington. 

He explained that someone 

had been sent to sit outside the 

team’s weeknight training session 

to ensure that Endacott did 

not attend. The coach figured a 

way around this by arriving at 

the park an hour early, climbing 

a tree at the park and then shouting 

instructions to the team 

while they stretched and took 

rest near the tree. 

“I was a bit choked up to be 

honest but once I started telling 

that story I was good as gold.” 

Endacott was so overjoyed he 

couldn’t sleep after the event. 

“It takes a lot for me to go 

somewhere when there’s NRL 

games on the television. I taped 

the games so it worked out well 

because I stayed up late and 

watched the two games when 

I got home. I didn’t get to bed 

until about three o’clock.” 

Pat Barwick: 

Born at Brunswick, north of 

Wanganui, Barwick captained 

New Zealand at hockey for nine 

years (1971-79) including in the 

first year of her selection at the 

age of 24. 

In her season as national 

captain New Zealand placed 

third in the 1971 IFWHA 

world tournament in Auckland. 

Two years later, the side again 

finished third, this time in the 

Jubilee Top 8 world tourney in 

Holland. 

There was a further third 

placing in 1975 at the World 

Cup in Edinburgh. In 1977 Pat 

captained NZ to victory over 

England at Wembley Stadium. 

Barwick’s international hockey 

career ended abruptly when 

New Zealand did not send an 

Olympic contingent to the 1980 

Moscow Olympics due to political 

reasons. 

Barwick has made a tremendous 

contribution to the sport 

of hockey both at regional and 

national level and is hugely 

respected throughout the hockey 

community in New Zealand. Pat 

has been a Hockey New Zealand 

life member since 2004. 

As a coach, Barwick was in 

charge of the NZ team between 

1987-1992, finishing ninth in the 

Sydney World Cup and eighth 

in the 1992 Barcelona Olympic 

Games after being assistant 

coach in 1985 and 1986 when the 

team was fourth in the World 

Cup in Holland. 

She juggled her teaching 

career in Christchurch while she 

voluntarily coached the national 

women’s team. 

At provincial level she coached 

Canterbury to five national and 

two champion tournament titles 

between 1980 and 1985.

GREAT food 

BROUGHT TO YOU BY... 

Your fresh food people 

GRILLED BEEF PORTERHOUSE 

STEAK WITH MUSTARD 

MAYONNAISE AND BROCCOLI 

SALAD 

Ingredients 

800g Porterhouse steaks, 4 x 200g 

pieces 

1 to drizzle Vegetable oil 

1 to taste Salt and freshly ground 

black pepper 

3 tsp Dijon mustard 

4 Tbsp Mayonnaise 

Broccoli, almond and tomato 

salad 

1 Broccoli 

2 Tomatoes 

1 clove Garlic 

2 Tbsp Tarragon 

2 Tbsp Chives 

3 Tbsp Extra virgin olive oil 

3 Tbsp Lemon juice 

50g Slivered almonds 

1 to taste Salt and freshly ground 

black pepper 

Directions 

Heat a grill, ridged grill-pan or 

frying pan. 

Use a sharp knife to 

make several cuts through the fat 

and slightly into the meat as this 

will stop it curling as it cooks. 

Lightly oil the steaks before 

putting them onto the heat. For 

juicy and medium rare steaks, cook 

them for about 7 minutes per side, 

turning once and seasoning with 

salt and pepper once you have done 

so. Remove from the heat, wrap 

loosely in foil and leave them to rest 

for 5 minutes. 

Mix the mustard and mayonnaise, 

then spread a 

cross the upper side of the 

meat. 

Salad: Cook the broccoli in 

boiling salted water for about 4 

minutes, then drain and set aside in 

a warm bowl. Chop and seed the 

tomatoes, then add to the broccoli. 

Chop the garlic and tarragon 

finely, then chop the chives into 

2cm lengths. Mix the herbs with the 

oil, lemon juice and almonds. 

Gently toss through the broccoli 

and season with salt and pepper. 

Serve warm. 

GINGER LIMEADE 

1.5 cups of fresh lime 

juice 

3 oz fresh ginger roughly 

chopped 

3 tbsp water 

1 cup of sugar 

1 cup of water 

Pinch of salt 

3 cups of ice cold soda water 

or water to dilute 

Directions 

Place the sugar and water in a 

saucepan and heat over medium 

heat to dissolve the sugar. 

Bring to a simmer. Once all 

the sugar has dissolved and the 

syrup starts to boil, set it aside 

to cool. 

Place the fresh ginger and 

water in a mini processor, and 

pulse until well blended and 

pureed. 

Strain the ginger juice through 

a sieve, pressing down on the 

pulp to get the most out of the 

ginger. 

Set aside ¼ cup of this ginger 

juice. 

Alternatively, if you have a 

juicer, juice enough ginger to get 

3 tbsp of pure ginger juice. 

Mix the ginger and salt with 

the lime juice. 

Add up to 1 - 1.5 cups of 

sugar syrup to sweeten the 

ginger lime juice (change the 

amount of sugar you add according 

to your tastes). 

Pour into a clean bottle/jar 

with a closeable cap and leave 

in the fridge to chill until 

needed. 

To make the Ginger 

Limeade drink 

To ensure the drink is nice and 

cold, make sure all components 

are chilled. You can use ice, but 

remember to add less liquid to 

compensate for the melting ice. 

Mix the ginger lime 

syrup with water or soda water 

at a 1:1 ratio (or a little less 

water). 

Keep in the fridge.

GARDENING 

ADVICE with 

Beautiful spring blooms are a welcome relief after a dreary winter by 

providing bursts of colour and fragrance in the garden. 

Plant your bulbs in March/April to ensure abundant, healthy blooms 

come spring. If you want to brighten up your garden earlier, plant 

winter potted colour on top of your bulbs for a succession of 

beautiful flowers.

QUESTION 

I have a Daphne bush that is having a 

major sulk. Can you please advise if 

there is a product out there than can 

re-energise it? The leaves are not yellow and none are falling off, 

but they look a tad limp and not glossy. It has been in its current 

position now for 6 months. 

Today’s winning question came from Melanie Dennis. 

Congratulations! 

Known for its wonderfully fragrant fl owers, 

ANSWER Daphne is a favourite for many people. 

They are not the easiest of shrubs to 

cultivate and although varieties like Daphne odroa rubra are a 

hardy species, even these can present with problems. 

Getting the right garden position for your Daphne is important. 

Make sure the location is open and not in direct sun, but instead 

with full light and well-drained, fertile soil that is slightly acidic. It is 

often a case of experimenting until you fi nd a site at which 

Daphnes thrive. They do not like to be too wet, nor too dry, so keep 

the plant well mulched with compost or crushed bark. 

If the leaves have lost their glossy appearance but are not 

drooping, it may be a nutritional issue and they may require 

fertilising with Daltons Premium Acid Fertiliser. Apply the 

fertiliser in autumn and again in spring and remember to water it in 

well. 

If the leaves appear to be drooping, sadly this is a sign that the 

Daphne plant may well be dying. If you decide to replace your 

plant, when planting your new specimen, add in generous amounts of organic matter such as peat or compost. 

Add Daltons Bio-fungicide Granules when planting, as Daphne can struggle with root diseases. 

Other products to try: Daltons Boosted Compost or Garden Time Compost, and Garden Time Planting Mix. 

For more expert advice, see our How to Grow guides at www.daltons.co.nz/how-to-guides 

We have a Daltons Premium Bulb Pack to giveaway which 

contains everything you need to grow gorgeous blooms. 

Each pack is valued at $85 and contains: 

• 2 x Daltons Premium Bulb Mix 

• Daltons Premium Bulb Fertiliser

Get imaginative with your landscaping project 

LANDSCAPING is a wonderful 

pastime enjoyed by many. 

It provides a natural beauty 

and needs no ornaments or 

other attractive items to help 

achieve its magnificence. 

What it does need, however, 

is a little TLC from you and 

imagination to keep the 

landscape design ever-changing 

and up-to-date. 

Landscape design is an art 

that not only gives you the 

freedom to express yourself, but 

also makes your home more 

beautiful and inviting. 

There are many methods of 

landscape design to explore. 

You can trim your hedges or 

bushes in a decorative manner. 

For instance, you may want to 

cut every other hedge a foot 

shorter than the next to produce 

a rolling effect. 

You could also put a large 

decorative fountain in the 

middle of your yard. 

This is a costly option but, 

if you can afford it, looks 

gorgeous. 

If you are considering 

landscape design, or have 

already dabbled in it a bit, 

you know the importance of 

working with an experienced 

landscaper. 

DECORATIVE: 

A little bit of 

imagination 

and TLC can 

transform any 

part of your 

garden or 

lawn.

WEEK 10: Taper Time 

The work is done. The only thing to 

do now is to freshen up. You do that 

not only by reducing your training 

but also by getting plenty of sleep 

and eating healthy foods this week. 

Nerves can get in the way of a 

good taper. So try and “keep the 

lid on”. Nerves can also interfere 

with your eating. This is not the 

time to put on or lose weight. Keep 

focused on the plan. You often hear

to the process. That means they 

are not thinking of the final result 

at the finish line but they focus on 

their task during the event. This 

also applies to you. It means that 

most of the time your thoughts 

will be with your rhythm, pace and 

technique. Your breathing will be 

a good measure of your pace and 

if your breathing is more laboured 

than during your training sessions 

you are going too fast. 

6KM 25min 

14KM 30min 

(moderate intensity) 

Prepare yourself to run surrounded 

by a large group of people. It 

can be quite unnerving for some 

people. Above all, run at your own 

pace from the start. Hold back a 

bit when the gun goes off rather 

than trying to get ahead of the 

pack. If you start too fast there will 

be a price to pay later. If you have 

someone you can run with who is 

of a similar level you can keep each 

other in check. 


TIP OF THE WEEK 

The main tip is to enjoy yourself. While you are 

“sticking to the process” there is no reason why 

you can’t take in the occasion at the same time. 

Run with a smile on your face. Have a good one!

Warriors name unchanged team for Titans clash 

THE WARRIORS have embraced 

the old adage of if it’s not broken, 

then don’t fix it – naming an 

unchanged team for the match 

against the Gold Coast Titans on 

Saturday. 

After beating the South Sydney 

Rabbitohs in Perth in round one, 

the Warriors will look to carry 

the momentum with them into 

their first home game of the 

season. 

Young forward Isaiah Papali’i 

will have another chance to 

shine in the starting line-up with 

Simon Mannering still out due to 

injury. 

“Simon is a week-to-week 

proposition,” Warriors coach 

Stephen Kearney said. “We’ve just 

got to make sure we manage him 

pretty good. I’m doubtful he’ll be 

ready for this week. He’s a quick 

healer but we want to make sure 

we’re doing the right thing and 

looking after him.” 

Papali’i put in an 80min performance 

in the team’s round one 

win in Perth last weekend, and 

was rewarded with another berth 

in the No. 11 jersey. 

Papali’i was one of 11 Warriors 

to rack up more than 90 running 

metres against the Rabbitohs in 

Perth, as the side looked damaging 

with ball in hand. 

“What we achieved in Perth 

was certainly pleasing after the 

players had worked really hard in 

the preseason,” Kearney said. 

“The result there brought a sense 

of relief and also a sense of confidence 

in the way the players went 

about executing the game plan. 

“But for us it’s now all about 

this week and preparing well to 

give us the best chance of performing 

well on Saturday.” 

First five-eighth Blake Green 

and centre Solomone Kata were 

named in the squad in spite of 

being absent from training on 

Tuesday due to illness, with Kearney 

expecting them to be fine for 

the weekend.

New-look MPL set for kick-off 


THE MAINLAND Premier 

League kicks off around 

Canterbury this weekend in what 

is a new look competition due to 

the new much anticipated South 

Island League. 

This year’s MPL will see the 

eight teams play home and away 

over two full rounds. The top 

five sides will earn the right to 

contest the inaugural South 

Island League along with the 

top three sides from the Football 

South Premier League, with the 

bottom three sides in the MPL 

then playing each other twice to 

determine who will face relegation. 

The opening round matches 

with the most intrigue will be 

between MPL debutants Selwyn 

United and Coastal Spirit. 

On Saturday Selwyn United 

will become the 20 th different 

side to make their debut in the 

MPL since it was formed in 2002. 

A crowd of close to 500 turned 

out for Selwyn’s match to win 

promotion to the MPL in 2017. 

A similar showing is likely 

Championship win for Milligan in Toyota 86 series 


CHRISTCHURCH driver Jack 

Milligan claimed the Toyota 

86 Championship with a string 

of podium finishes at the final 

round of the championship 

at Hampton Downs at the 

weekend. 

Milligan, 21, 

had a strong but 

not unassailable 

lead, heading 

Michael Scott 

and Connor 

Adam by 30 

points and 

Jack Milligan 

123 points 

respectively, 

with three 

races remaining. With 75 points 

available for each race win the 

championship was still wide 

open. 

DEFENCE: Ferrymead Bays will have some new faces when they begin 

the defence of their MPL title. 

when they run out for their first 

premiership game. Not to be outdone, 

Coastal have organised a

the match. 

Selwyn will be looking to 

prove they can compete with 

top clubs in the MPL and have 

great first up chance to show that 

“THe weekend started well. We 

were quick in practice and knew 

we had the speed to get the job 

done,” said Milligan. 

Qualifying on the front 

row for Saturday’s first race, 

Milligan was up against fellow 

Christchurch racer Jaden 

Ransley, who had taken pole. 

Ransley, 16, drove the race of his 

life to hold out Milligan. 

Milligan was happy to settle 

for second with his nearest 

championship rival Scott 

finishing seventh. 

“Our main focus was on where 

Michael [Scott] was. When we 

knew he was further down the 

field I didn’t take as many risks 

I might have normally,” said 

Milligan. 

In the partial reverse grid 

race, Jacob Smith had pole with 

Milligan starting fourth of a 

field of 14. He carved through 

the field to attack Smith for lead,

against last seasons’ third placed 

club, who will be looking to 

prove they can be part of the title 

chase this time around. 

“We haven’t been quite there 

but we really want to give it a 

good crack this year,” said Coastal 

Spirit coach Ekow Quainoo. 

Coastal have lost striker Jordan 

Ball who has returned to England. 

However, they have gained 

the services of striker Matt 

Thomas and Ash Wellbourn who 

will turn out for Coastal when he 

returns in from England May. 

Meanwhile, Selwyn have made

fading slightly at lap seven and 

then surging back to draft 

Smith down the main straight 

and almost snatch the victory 

away. 

In the final race of the 

championship, Milligan was 

swamped off the start line as 

four cars flew through the blind,

Tom Alexander had carved 

through to lead from Jacob 

Smith, Milligan now moving 

Hamiora Davey Brown. 

The team boast former Cashmere 

Technical goal-scoring 

machine Dan Ede who has 70 

MPL goals to his name. However, 

Selwyn coach Lee Padmore believes 

the team’s depth is also key. 

“We’ve got some very good players 

that other some teams may not 

be aware of,” said Padmore. 

Title favourites will once again 

be Ferrymead Bays and Cashmere 

Technical who played out 

an exciting race to the title which 

Bays prevailed in last season. 

Bays have lost several first 

team players from last season 

including Adam Highfield, Michael 

Forshaw, Geoff McIntyre 

and Chris Anderson. 

New arrivals include both Jordan 

Halligan and Michael White 

from Cashmere Technical. They 

have also signed keeper Duncan 

Reed.

through to third and then a lap 

later overtaking Smith. 

Alexander and Milligan soon 

forming a two-car battle for the 

lead that went all the way to the 

chequered flag with Alexander 

taking the honours. 

“I can’t thank the CareVets 

team enough, my mechanics, 

Dr Keith Houston who put the 

CareVets Racing programme 

together and showed faith in me 

– it’s been amazing.’’ 

Milligan continued a fine run in 

the championship for local drivers. 

He became the third Christchurch 

driver to win the championship 

which is in just its fifth year. He 

will head to Bathurst in October to 

compete in the Australian Toyota 

86 Racing Series, which is part 

of the prize for winning the NZ 

championship.

Franklin relishes lineout role with Highlanders 

WHEN TOM Franklin arrived 

in Dunedin he was just a brighteyed 

student from Bay of Plenty. 

Now, nearly 10 years later, he is 

a scholar and a swotter. 

The big lock, who has played 

56 games for the Highlanders, is 

not hitting the academic books 

though. His study is lineouts 

and the art of winning the most 

important of set pieces. 

The 27-year-old calls the 

lineout for the Highlanders and 

it is a role which is becoming allconsuming. 

‘’I love it. It is a game within 

a game. I spend a lot of time in 

behind the scenes looking into it. 

And being ahead of the game as 

much as I can,’’ he said. 

‘’There is a lot of analysis. I 

look at things and all I can see is 

lineouts.’’ 

He laughed when asked if he 

dreamed about lineouts but a 

good lineout does not simply 

happen. It takes work and time 

on the training paddock. 

“The key is detail. You have to 

be ahead of the game and everyone 

is on the same page. Those 

little things like max lifts, good 

throws and good jumps. Action 

always beats that reaction – if you 

can do that better and beat the 

other team.’’ 

Losing lineouts was not fun but 

it was a combination of events 

which led to a botched lineout. 

‘’The hooker probably gets a bad 

rep. It is an easy out but we try not 

to point the finger too much.’’ 

Franklin said the side was 

looking forward to taking on 

the Crusaders at Forsyth Barr 

Stadium but did not want to get 

too excited about the game. 

‘’There is no lack of motivation 

for us. They are our local rivals 

and we really want to beat them. 

But in saying that every week is a 

big game so you need to take just 

every game as it comes.’’ 

Franklin was a player who was 

knocking on the All Black door 

a couple of years ago. But he has 

been passed by the likes of Scott 

Barrett. 

‘’I’m just taking every week as 

it comes and have broken it right 

down to working on little details 

each week. Just to better my game 

as much as I can and make my 

game as good as it can for this 

team.’’

& Property 

While buying your first home can 

be a nerve-wracking experience, 

buying your second (or third) isn’t 

much easier. First home buyers may 

face a whole bunch of barriers, but the 

stakes can feel pretty high for people 

who are looking to upsize, downsize 

or just move house due to family 

circumstances or job changes. 

In many ways, the process is the 

same. You need to write your wish list 

– where the property is, what size it is 

– and think about how much you want 

to spend. This is where the buy first or 

sell first conundrum comes in, because 

it’s much easier to figure out how much 

you have to spend if you have already 

sold your first property. A property is 

only worth what someone is prepared 

to pay for it at the time that it’s for sale. 

It’s unwise to hedge your bets solely 

on an algorithm-generated valuation, 

the back-of-an-envelope calculation or 

recent rating valuations. 

Selling first means you have freed 

up any equity and you have a firmer 

budget to work with. However, in a 

slow market it can mean that you are 

left scrambling to find ‘the one’. Even 

if you do find the right property, it can 

take longer than you might anticipate 

to reach settlement on it, which means 

you may have an unspecified period 

between exiting your last home and 

moving into your new one. This can 

be particularly tough for people with 

children and pets, especially in an area 

or at a time of year when there is a lot 

of competition for short-term rentals. 

If you do sell first, it’s a good idea to try 

to negotiate a longer settlement period 

to give yourselves a bit more breathing 

space. Ask your real estate agent and 

lawyer for advice on how to do this for 

– because you’re the seller, you get to 

set the terms and conditions for your 

sale process. 

Buying first makes sense in lots of 

ways, particularly if your search area 

is very defined. If a property that ticks 

all the boxes comes on the market it 

can be hard to resist the pull of putting 

an offer on it. If you decide to go for it, 

you’ll need good financial advice and 

nerves of steel. If your offer is accepted 

you may find yourself in the position of

Is it better to buy or sell first? 

owning two properties – and having to 

service their respective mortgages if the 

settlement dates don’t align perfectly. 

It can feel like an eternity while you 

wait for your first property to sell, and 

if the market suddenly slows it can 

be tempting to take the first offer you 

receive in order to get the place off your 

hands. 

Before you do anything rash, talk to 

your lender or a mortgage broker about 

what your options are in this situation. 

You are likely to need bridging finance 

to cover your offer on the new home – 

depending on your circumstances and 

the method of sale you may need access 

to these funds quite quickly. Be aware 

that owning two homes will also have 

insurance implications – you will need 

both to be covered. 

If you are planning to buy first, you 

can make the sale of your existing 

property a condition of your offer. 

While this takes the pressure off, it may 

also make your offer less attractive to 

a seller. A good compromise may be 

to try to negotiate a longer settlement 

when you buy the new property, which 

will give you more time to sell. Talk to 

the real estate agent selling the property 

to find out how you can negotiate this 

in a way that the seller will be happy 

with. 

There’s no perfect, one-size-fits-all 

solution in this situation. Perhaps the 

best advice is that if you are starting to 

think about buying it’s a good idea to 

get your property and your finances 

in order. Talk to your lender or a 

mortgage broker and give them an 

indication of your plans. Start talking 

to real estate agents in your area to 

find out what might be coming on the 

market, and ask them for an assessment 

of demand for a property like yours. 

Tackle all those jobs around the house 

that have needed doing all year – trim 

those overhanging branches, replace 

the broken letterbox and repaint the 

scratched front door. At the very least 

doing this will make it a pleasant place 

to live while you figure out your next 

move.

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 

ST PATRICK was born somewhere on 

the west coast of Britain and when he 

was 16 he was captured by raiding 

Irish ships and taken to Ireland to be 

sold as a slave. He was bought by a 

man called Milchu who put him to work 

shepherding his flock on a mountain 

side. 

One night Patrick had a dream in 

which he heard a voice telling him to 

leave the mountain side and go down 

to the coast where he would find a 

boat to take him back home. 

When he reached the coast he saw 

the boat, as the dream had promised, 

but unfortunately as he had no money 

the boat’s captain refused to take him. 

The boat sailed away, but wasn’t 

long at sea when a fierce storm blew 

up. The crew fearing death told the 

captain that it is vengeance for not 

letting the lad aboard. Out of fear they 

turned the boat around and went back 

for Patrick. 

Patrick went on to study to become 

a priest and eventually was made a 

bishop. 

In a recurring dream he heard the 

voices of the children of Ireland calling 

him back to teach them about God, so 

returned to Ireland and went straight to 

see his old captor Milchu. This is 

where Patrick began converting the 

Irish pagan people to Christianity. 

While trying to explain the Holy 

Trinity he is said to have used a 

shamrock leaf to demonstrate how 

there could be three separate parts to 

the shamrock but only one leaf - and 

so the shamrock symbol of Ireland 

was born. 

St Patrick’s Day is celebrated on 

March 17 as it is believed to be the 

date St Patrick died.
