Cops close in on con man<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
POLICE HAVE found two bank<br />
account numbers in their hunt<br />
for a con man who falsely said<br />
gangs would hurt their families if<br />
people didn’t pay up.<br />
Senior Constable Wayne<br />
Stapley said two of the victims<br />
had been given two bank account<br />
numbers to put money into.<br />
Police had checked one, and<br />
were awaiting details about the<br />
other.<br />
Senior Constable Stapley would<br />
not comment on what the investigation<br />
into the first account<br />
number revealed.<br />
He said two phone numbers,<br />
connected to the same person,<br />
led police to a suspect who had<br />
been interviewed and denied any<br />
involvement.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> understands a teenager<br />
is the key suspect.<br />
“He swears black and blue it<br />
wasn’t him and he doesn’t have<br />
the cell phone numbers anymore,”<br />
he said.<br />
“We have to find out where<br />
these phones are and tie them up<br />
with the bank accounts.”<br />
Police have received 21 complaints<br />
from Christchurch people<br />
targeted by the sinister scam.<br />
It involved phone calls and<br />
texts to victims who are told the<br />
caller is from the Mongrel Mob,<br />
Highway 61 or Black Power.<br />
One victim was told to pay<br />
$1000 or Black Power would burn<br />
his house down and harm his<br />
family. <strong>The</strong> con man says they<br />
are watching the victims’ families<br />
and elderly parents.<br />
Senior Constable Stapley<br />
would not comment on whether<br />
the perpetrator was actually<br />
connected to the gangs.<br />
Last month, Canterbury<br />
University criminologist Greg<br />
Newbold told <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> gangs<br />
would be “filthy” if they were being<br />
impersonated.<br />
Senior Constable Stapley said<br />
none of the people who had gone<br />
to the police had paid over any<br />
money.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re have been no further<br />
reported cases.

Home Show this weekend<br />
Food, drink<br />
tasting and<br />
great prizes<br />
THE STAR MEDIA Home &<br />
Leisure Show promises to be the<br />
best yet.<br />
Celebrating its 20th year of<br />
supporting local businesses,<br />
the event has an extra special<br />
flavour this time around with a<br />
unique tasting corner.<br />
Event manager Vanessa Fleming<br />
is super-enthused about the<br />
new addition, which reflects the<br />
importance of leisure in people’s<br />
lives these days.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re will be a wide range<br />
of food and drink products to<br />
sample, which people can then<br />
go home and recreate in their<br />
own kitchens,” she says.<br />
And with the latest in kitchen<br />
innovations and products on<br />
display, it’s a chance to get creative<br />
in all aspects of life.<br />
Said <strong>Star</strong> Media chief executive<br />
Steve McCaughan: “I am<br />
very excited about the new elements<br />
we have introduced with<br />
the addition of our free taste<br />
section, new glossy Home and<br />
Leisure magazine, plus fantastic<br />
prizes to be won.”<br />
Seminars are held throughout<br />
each of the three days and<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
INVESTIGATIONS are under<br />
way to see if women-only<br />
sessions can be reinstated at<br />
certain Christchurch pools so<br />
those from other cultures feel<br />
comfortable swimming in them.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council’s multicultural<br />
subcommittee asked staff to look<br />
into the potential of offering<br />
women-only swimming sessions<br />
at particular times.<br />

<strong>The</strong> group runs “invaluable”<br />

AquaGym because they<br />
were forced from QE II after the<br />
February 22, 2011, earthquake.<br />
“But they would love to do it<br />
every day,” she said. “It would be<br />
great if we could support these<br />
women to be swimming and<br />
enjoying the water.”<br />
City councillor and subcommittee<br />
member Anne Galloway<br />
said as ratepayers something<br />
should be provided for them.<br />
in brief<br />
Most dangerous<br />
intersections upgrade<br />
Safety improvements are on the<br />
way for two of the city’s most<br />
dangerous intersections. <strong>The</strong> city<br />
council’s Long Term Plan earmarked<br />
$1.2 million to upgrade the<br />
Clarence St and Blenheim Rd intersection<br />
between 2021 and 2023. It<br />
also allocated $356,000 to upgrade<br />
the Clarence St and Riccarton Rd<br />
intersection between 2020 and<br />
2022. <strong>The</strong> city council and New<br />
Zealand Transport Agency ranked<br />
the Clarence St and Riccarton<br />
Rd intersection the sixth most dangerous<br />
in the city last year, while<br />
Clarence St and Blenheim Rd was<br />
ranked 10th. Safety improvements<br />
have also been confirmed for the<br />
Ilam, Middleton and Riccarton<br />
Rds intersection – the fourth most<br />
dangerous – in the upcoming<br />
financial year.<br />
St Albans Park work<br />
delayed, over budget<br />
Upgrades to St Albans Park may<br />
not be complete until early next<br />
year and will cost $160,000 more<br />
than expected. <strong>The</strong> cost of the project<br />
has increased to $2.1 million.<br />
Wet weather has pushed the completion<br />
date out to late December<br />
or early January.<br />
Timeball set to drop<br />
again today<br />
<strong>The</strong> Lyttelton Timeball will drop<br />
once again when the mast is<br />
installed at 10am today. Heritage<br />
NZ has been overseeing the $3<br />
million restoration, which started<br />
in July last year. <strong>The</strong> structure will<br />
be officially opened to the public in<br />

‘Would I have made 60 if I was<br />
Alcoholics Anonymous<br />
has just marked 70<br />
years in New Zealand.<br />
Reporter Lee Umbers<br />
talks to Jordan Luck<br />
about his battle with<br />
the booze<br />
Jordan Luck wonders if he<br />
would have lived to see 60 if he<br />
hadn’t given up the booze.<br />
“I’d be drinking from the<br />
moment I got up basically to<br />
when I’d fall asleep, so, beer – I’d<br />
get through two to three dozen<br />
a day.<br />
“I’d take periods off, a couple<br />
of days here, a couple of days<br />
there,” Luck said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> former Exponents singer’s<br />
battle with alcohol was so bad<br />
that when he did stop for a time,<br />
he’d suffer petit mal seizures - a<br />
brief loss of consciousness.<br />
“All of a sudden these red<br />
diamonds would come across my<br />
eyes. I’d black out.<br />
“It was just a shock to my system<br />
when I didn’t drink.”<br />
Luck, now 56, who lives<br />
in Little River, spent his 40s<br />
drinking throughout the day.<br />
<strong>The</strong> acclaimed hit-maker,<br />
who penned such Kiwi classics<br />
as Why Does Love Do This to Me,<br />
ROCK’N’ROLL: Jordan Luck was drinking two or three<br />
dozen beers a day.<br />
also had scares with potential<br />
diabetes and liver damage.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n, six years ago, concerned<br />
friends and family staged an<br />
intervention.<br />
“A whole heap of people came<br />
along and said you’re going to [a<br />
rehabilitation centre] tomorrow.”<br />
Luck says he thought “this<br />
is what I need”. But “about 10<br />
seconds later” he started to say<br />
he had projects on.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y said, ‘No – you’re going.”<br />
He acquiesced.<br />

themselves or others.<br />
• Hazardous drinking rates<br />
higher in men (27 per<br />

• Rates of hazardous<br />

ages 18-24 (33 per cent).<br />
• In the year to <strong>June</strong> 2017<br />
more than 4000 people<br />
were hospitalised because<br />
of alcohol.<br />
• <strong>The</strong> highest rate for<br />
females is in the 10-19 age<br />

Luck says during his month-long<br />
stay he realised the extent of<br />
his problem and was able to quit<br />
his heavy drinking.<br />
Luck’s experience can’t be put<br />
down to rock star behaviour.<br />
New Zealanders aged over 15<br />
drink an average of 8.7 litres of<br />
alcohol a year.<br />

standard drinks a day for<br />
each adult).<br />
• <strong>The</strong> average annual<br />
consumption is equal to<br />
8.7 litres of pure alcohol<br />
per person (aged 15-plus),<br />

still drinking?’<br />
<strong>The</strong> first meeting was in the<br />
surgery of an alcoholic Auckland<br />
dentist who was passionate about<br />
helping others recover from the<br />
disease of alcoholism.<br />
Instead of beer, Luck now<br />
drinks sparkling water with<br />
lime. If he’s singing at a show, he<br />
can get through three litres in a<br />
couple of hours.<br />
In the middle of a national tour<br />
with his Jordan Luck Band, he<br />
finds sober life “absolutely joyous.”<br />
He says his health has improved.<br />
And he’s enjoying people<br />
telling him how much better he<br />
looks – “that kind of stuff goes<br />
down merrily.”<br />
To others for whom alcohol<br />
is troublesome, his message is:<br />
“If it’s problematic, ease back. If<br />
you’re an alcoholic, stop.”<br />
Alcohol is a “psychoactive<br />
drug, which produces a compelling<br />
euphoric experience in most<br />
users, and has for thousands of<br />
years in most human societies,”<br />
says professor of psychiatry and<br />
addiction medicine at Otago<br />
University Doug Sellman.<br />
“In our society, however, this<br />
natural attractiveness of alcohol<br />
is pushed along by very heavy<br />
CULTURE: Jordan<br />
Luck said his health<br />
has improved after<br />
giving up drinking.<br />
marketing by the alcohol industry<br />
as a social tonic, and almost a<br />
health tonic at times - certainly a<br />
product that indicates social success,<br />
like cigarettes 50 years ago.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> impact of this marketing<br />
is combined with alcohol’s relatively<br />
low price, high accessibility<br />
- particularly through supermarkets<br />
- teenage purchase and lack<br />
of stringent Scandinavian-like<br />
drink driving laws and produces<br />
a culture of heavy, normalised<br />
drinking, with enormous negative<br />
consequences,” Dr Sellman<br />
said.<br />

NEW LOOK: An artist’s impression of the Town Hall with<br />
the new addition for the orchestra.<br />
Town Hall progress<br />
THE UNDER construction<br />
Town Hall has had a new<br />
building added, which will<br />
provide a home for the<br />
Christchurch Symphony<br />
Orchestra and Vbase.<br />
<strong>The</strong> new Warren and<br />
Mahoney designed addition<br />
replaces the Cambridge Room,<br />
which was demolished as part<br />
of the repair and strengthening<br />
of the Town Hall. <strong>The</strong> CSO<br />
building is part of the reason<br />
why there has been a budget<br />
blowout. <strong>The</strong> initial budget for<br />
the project was $127.5 million<br />
but this was revised to $152.2<br />
million. <strong>The</strong> city council said<br />
the budget blowout was also<br />
due to “inflationary costs” and<br />
the additional expenses associated<br />
with bringing the building<br />
up to a modern standard,<br />
alongside the new CSO facility,<br />
which is a “significant change<br />
in scope”.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is also a “significant<br />
contingency”, which the city<br />
council said it will not release<br />
for “commercial reasons.”<br />
City council general manager<br />
citizens and community<br />
Mary Richardson said the<br />
cost of repairing and restoring<br />
the Town Hall was about $40<br />
million less than building a<br />
new hall. A reopening event is<br />
planned for March.<br />

to pay for it. Bridget<br />
Rutherford reports<br />
MORE THAN $100,000 of<br />
ratepayer money has been spent<br />
commissioning street art to<br />
brighten up the city, deter graffiti<br />
and raise the city’s profile in the<br />
past seven years.<br />
City council figures released<br />
to <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> show it has commissioned<br />
seven pieces since the<br />
February 22, 2011, earthquake,<br />
when the city experienced an<br />
explosion in street art.<br />
In total, they cost $104,908.<br />
<strong>The</strong> most expensive work was<br />
a trio of murals in Oxford St Reserve,<br />
Lyttelton, which was done<br />
earlier this year, costing $45,000.<br />
Los Angeles-based street artist<br />
Dcypher, aka Guy Ellis, did the<br />
large mural, which depicts the<br />
history and community spirit<br />
of Lyttelton. He had help from<br />
fellow street artists Wongi, Yikes<br />
and Ikarus.<br />
<strong>The</strong> work was done as part<br />
of an overall $375,000 upgrade<br />
to the reserve, including a new<br />
skate park, playground landscaping<br />
and repairs to the park’s<br />
earthquake-damaged walls.<br />
Dcypher also did the Kiwianathemed<br />
mural on the side of the<br />
Wharenui Recreation Centre in<br />
Matipo St. <strong>The</strong> city council-commissioned<br />
it in 2016 for $15,000.<br />
It coincided with the reopening<br />
of the centre after earthquake<br />
repairs.<br />
Three artworks were commissioned<br />
last year to activate the<br />
central city.<br />
No Place Like Home was created<br />
by Flox in Plymouth Lane.<br />

$15,000.<br />
Brandon Warrell’s colourful<br />
mural of a silver eye bird and yellow<br />
kowhai flower buds was created<br />
on the side of the Ibis Hotel<br />
on Hereford St late last year.<br />
It also cost $15,000. <strong>The</strong> design<br />

commissioning the mural of former<br />

League World Cup campaign.<br />
A city council spokeswoman<br />
said street art enhanced<br />
streetscapes and buildings,<br />
adding colour and interest, particularly<br />
next to cleared sites or<br />
damaged buildings.<br />
“Experience tells us that, in<br />
general at least, a well-executed<br />
mural will deter tagging vandalism<br />
for a good period of time,<br />
though not indefinitely.”<br />
She said street art, often requested<br />
by community boards,<br />
also engaged local artists,<br />
developed connections in the<br />
community and raised the profile<br />
of street art in Christchurch.<br />

Ivan’s a marathon man with his<br />
Ivan Hibberd has taken thousands of photos of<br />
Christchurch during the rebuild, documenting<br />
the city’s history for future generations. Bridget<br />
Rutherford reports<br />
EVERY WEEK Ivan Hibberd<br />
ventures around Christchurch<br />
armed with his small digital<br />
camera to document the way<br />
the city has changed since the<br />
February 22, 2011, earthquake.<br />
In spite of having little background<br />
in photography, the<br />
87-year-old has taken more than<br />
4000 photos of the rebuild.<br />
“I’m just keen on Christchurch,”<br />
he said.<br />
“It’s a good activity, you meet<br />
a lot of people.”<br />
Mr Hibberd, who spent much<br />
of his life working with machinery,<br />
said most of his photos were<br />
stored in the cloud until deciding<br />
what to do with them. He<br />
said they documented the city’s<br />
history.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y ranged from new buildings<br />
to the demolition of old<br />
ones, such as the implosion of<br />
the Christchurch Central Police<br />
Station. Although, he said he<br />
would have been better with a<br />
video camera for that one.<br />
“I only had a little camera and<br />
all I got was a pile of rubble.”<br />
He also photographed Twinkle<br />
Toes, the large excavator<br />
used to demolish tall buildings<br />
after the earthquakes.<br />
Mr Hibberd said he was onto<br />
his second camera, a Canon,<br />
because his first one broke about<br />
six years ago.<br />
“I was photographing the<br />
earthquake-damaged buildings<br />
on the corner of<br />
Cashel and High<br />
Sts and there<br />
was a piece of<br />
iron sticking<br />
out of the<br />
footpath.<br />
I<br />
stopped<br />
to take<br />
photos<br />
and as I<br />
moved I<br />
tripped<br />
over it<br />
and did<br />

my camera in.” Mr Hibberd<br />
said he then wrote a<br />
letter to the city council.<br />
“I’m fairly well known<br />
around the council, I told<br />
them I’d lost 30 photos that<br />
day and I was doing it for<br />
heritage and<br />
I told them it<br />
was a $120<br />
camera.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n a<br />
cheque<br />
arrived from the council for<br />
$99.” It’s not just the rebuild the<br />
father and grandfather likes to<br />
photograph.<br />
He takes photos of the birds<br />
in he and wife Helen’s Belfast<br />
garden.<br />
Tending to their vegetable<br />
garden and plot of<br />
sunflowers<br />
was “one of<br />
the great<br />
therapies<br />
in life”,<br />

said.<br />

Although Mr Hibberd is<br />
retired, he still volunteers on the<br />
Canterbury Workers Educational<br />
Association council, helping to<br />
organise the courses.<br />
Last week he received a<br />
volunteer recognition award from<br />
Volunteering Canterbury for his<br />
contribution to the association<br />
since 1984.<br />
He has also been heavily<br />
involved in the Belfast<br />
community, helping to set up the<br />
Belfast co-ordinating committee.<br />
In September, Mr Hibberd is<br />
set to also receive an award<br />
for his 60-year involvement<br />
with the Vintage Car Club of<br />
New Zealand Canterbury<br />
branch.<br />
Mr Hibberd said he was<br />
interested in the city’s heritage.<br />
He knows what building<br />
work was happening around<br />
Christchurch and has been into<br />
most completed buildings.<br />
When asked how he managed<br />
that Mr Hibberd said: “Cheek.”<br />
“I walk in backwards so they<br />
think I’m leaving.”<br />

Crushing<br />
plant noise<br />
prompts<br />
investigation<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
CITY COUNCIL staff are<br />
investigating whether changes<br />
can be made to the District Plan<br />
to increase a noise buffer between<br />
residents and industrial activities.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Linwood-Central-<br />
Heathcote Community Board<br />
requested staff look into it after<br />
concerns about a scrap metal<br />
company operating from the<br />
former Skellerup site in Woolston.<br />
National Steel has occupied<br />
part of the site since January<br />
and began crushing vehicles in<br />
late February. Between then and<br />
March 22 the city council received<br />
eight complaints about the noise.<br />
An investigation found most<br />
noise levels complied with the<br />
District Plan. But city councillor<br />
Yani Johanson said the District<br />
Plan was too “submissive” and<br />
meant the community had no say.<br />
“I think personally there’s a real<br />
need for an industrial buffer.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council is unable to<br />
change the District Plan until the<br />
Government revokes the Canterbury<br />
Earthquakes Order 2014,<br />
which dictated what was in it.<br />

$2.5 million boost<br />
for quake advisory<br />
A SERVICE that provides<br />
independent advice and<br />
support to earthquake<br />
claimants has received<br />
a $2.5 million funding<br />
boost.<br />
Greater Christchurch<br />
Regeneration Minister<br />
Megan Woods said as part<br />
of its promise to resolve<br />
outstanding insurance<br />
matters for Christchurch<br />
people, the Government<br />
will extend the Residential<br />
Advisory Service for at<br />
least another year.<br />
“I’m really thrilled to<br />
announce this valuable<br />
service will continue. Over<br />
the last few years the RAS<br />
has helped resolve nearly<br />
5000 EQC and insurance<br />
claims.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> Government<br />
acknowledges there is a<br />
lot of work to be done to<br />
help people resolve issues<br />
as quickly and as fairly as<br />
possible so they can get on<br />
with their lives.<br />
“It means quake affected<br />

than 18,000 contacts<br />

•Nearly 5000<br />
homeowners have<br />
been helped through<br />
meetings with an<br />
independent advisor<br />
or broker, more than<br />
400 of them since<br />

•More than 450 open<br />

about 15 new cases<br />
each week.<br />
struggling can continue to<br />
access free and independent<br />
brokering, legal, and<br />
technical assistance to<br />
progress their insurance<br />
claims.<br />
“Work is also under<br />
way around creating an<br />
expanded service, where<br />
people will have access to<br />
other psychological and<br />
social supports.<br />
“This is about recognising<br />
the enormous emotional<br />
toll that these claims<br />
processes can take and<br />
making it easier for people<br />
to get the help they need,”<br />
Dr Woods said.<br />
Extending the RAS was<br />
one of the recommendations<br />
made in a report<br />
outlining the need for a<br />
wide range of reforms to<br />
speed up the resolution of<br />
outstanding EQC claims.<br />

Black box theatre plan<br />
AN OPTION for a proposed<br />
black box theatre in the<br />
Performing Arts Precinct is<br />
being explored by the trustees<br />
of <strong>The</strong> Piano.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are investigating the<br />
idea of a $10 million ‘black<br />
box theatre’ that would seat<br />
between 250-300 people.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Piano opened in the<br />
precinct nearly two years<br />
ago and the trustees believe<br />
their black box theatre idea<br />
would make economic sense.<br />
It would complement both<br />
<strong>The</strong> Piano and the new Court<br />
<strong>The</strong>atre.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Piano director Bronwyn<br />
Bijl said the black box theatre<br />
would share resources with<br />
<strong>The</strong> Piano, making it affordable<br />
to run and ensuring that<br />
it did not compete with other<br />
facilities in the precinct.<br />
“We want to see a collaborative<br />
approach to the venues<br />
so that they complement one<br />
another,” she said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> Piano is an excellent<br />
resource for music in<br />
Christchurch and we would<br />
like to develop an equivalent<br />
space for theatre. We are<br />
committed to providing first<br />
rate facilities, tailored to meet<br />
community needs.”<br />
Ms Bijl said the ‘black box’<br />
ENTERTAINMENT: An artist’s impression of the black box theatre proposed for the<br />
Performing Arts Precinct.<br />
would be a world-class facility,<br />
purpose-built for acoustics,<br />
that would cater for community<br />
and touring professional<br />
theatre groups.<br />
It would also be suitable<br />
for fringe and dinner theatre,<br />
cabaret, open mic, play readings,<br />
workshops, festivals,<br />
comedy, as a pop-up space or<br />
a film studio, and be available<br />
for dance, buskers and Kidsfest<br />
events.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> design embraces the<br />
black box concept of providing<br />
an innovative space that is able<br />
to be adapted and arranged to<br />
suit any style of production or<br />
event.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> theatre space itself includes<br />
tiered, retractable seating<br />
for an audience of between<br />
250 and 300 people, with a<br />
flat floor option to extend the<br />
range of uses. Ancillary spaces<br />
required to support theatre<br />
and performance uses are<br />
included in the design, along<br />
with an office and administration<br />
hub for local theatre<br />
groups.<br />
City councillors are set to<br />
consider options for the $30<br />
million performing arts precinct<br />
project today.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Piano opened to the<br />
public in September 2016<br />
and has had 125,000 people<br />
through in its first full<br />
calendar year and hosted<br />
more than 400 events last year,<br />
including concerts, festivals,<br />
competitions, masterclasses,<br />
recordings and educational<br />
events.<br />

Library prepares for big move<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
MORE THAN a million books,<br />
magazines, CDs, DVDs, archives<br />
and other resources will be<br />
transferred to the new $92<br />
million central library for its<br />
opening later this year.<br />
It will be one of the largest<br />
moving projects the city council<br />
has ever done.<br />
City council head of libraries<br />
and information Carolyn Robertson<br />
said about 61,000 library<br />
resources would be transferred<br />
to Tūranga from Central Peterborough<br />
Library. Another 37,000<br />
would go there from Central<br />
Manchester, she said.<br />
“In addition, collections currently<br />
in storage, including the<br />
archives collection, will also<br />
move to Tūranga,” she said.<br />
“This will be one of the biggest<br />
moves undertaken by the council,<br />
on a larger scale than most<br />
moves the council has overseen<br />
to date.”<br />
Tūranga, which is being built<br />
on the corner of Gloucester and<br />
Colombo Sts, will open in the<br />
third quarter of this year.<br />
Ms Robertson said the logistics<br />
around the move had been<br />
planned, with a moving company<br />
engaged.<br />
MOVING DAY: More than a million books, magazines, CDs,<br />
DVDs will be moved to Turanga before it opens.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> relocation work includes<br />
moving collections and retained<br />
assets from four locations and<br />
staff from Peterborough and<br />
Manchester Street Libraries and<br />
the timeframe is currently being<br />
scoped.”<br />
Ms Robertson said Tūranga’s<br />
IT and audio-visual fit out was<br />
projected to cost $4.17 million.<br />
It will have technologies such<br />
as 3D printers, a laser cutter,<br />
sewing machines, audio and<br />
video recording facilities, and<br />
virtual reality devices. That cost<br />
did not include installing a 7m<br />
interactive touch wall, which<br />
would be the largest in the<br />
country.<br />
Last month the city council<br />
got a slap on the wrist from the<br />
Ombudsman for not releasing<br />
the touch wall’s cost to the Taxpayers’<br />
Union. <strong>The</strong> Taxpayers’<br />
Union complained to the Ombudsman,<br />
which then requested<br />
it be released.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council is deciding<br />
whether to do so in consultation<br />
with the Ombudsman and the<br />
provider, Gibson Group, which<br />
wanted the information to remain<br />
confidential.<br />
New library stock, which<br />
is shared around all the city’s<br />
libraries, currently being sent to<br />
Central Manchester and Central<br />
Peterborough would be diverted<br />
to Tūranga once it opens.<br />
Ms Robertson said that would<br />
equate to about nine per cent<br />
of all new stock added to the<br />
network, which annually, costs<br />
about $400,000.<br />
Both Peterborough and<br />
Manchester Libraries are currently<br />
leased by the city council,<br />
which would not be renewed<br />
when Tūranga opened. All the<br />
resources and staff from both<br />
will also be transferred.<br />
<strong>The</strong> five-storey Tūranga would<br />
have a hands-on technology and<br />
innovation zone, a cafeteria,<br />
200-seat community arena,<br />
activity rooms, an exhibition<br />
space, meeting rooms, two outdoor<br />
terraces and a playground.<br />
Work starts<br />
at Redcliffs<br />
School sites<br />
DEMOLITION WORK will<br />
start next month at Redcliffs<br />
Park and Redcliffs School in<br />
preparation for the creation of a<br />
new school site.<br />
<strong>The</strong> relocation of Redcliffs<br />
School has been fast-tracked<br />
through special changes to the<br />
Christchurch District Plan following<br />
a site decision by Greater<br />
Christchurch<br />
Regeneration<br />
Minister Megan<br />
Woods in May.<br />
<strong>The</strong> existing<br />
school site will<br />
be turned into a<br />
public park.<br />
Clearance work<br />
is due to start on<br />
the new school<br />
site in Redcliffs Park.<br />
Chris<br />
Doudney<br />
It comes as Friends of Redcliffs<br />
Park is circulating a petition that<br />
will go to Parliament to stop<br />
the move. <strong>The</strong>y are about 150<br />
signatures.<br />
<strong>The</strong> group’s spokesman Chris<br />
Doudney is also calling on Acting<br />
Prime Minister Winston<br />
Peters to rescind what he says is<br />
a broken New Zealand First election<br />
pledge over the park.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
Thank you for<br />
helping your<br />
Fall Zones<br />
community<br />
To all of you who have had your<br />
trees trimmed before they became<br />
a problem, thank you for keeping all<br />
the families in your community warm,<br />
happy, healthy and connected.<br />
You can be proud of the fact that you have allowed your<br />
neighbours to stay warm, cook dinner and even charge<br />
their mobile phones. You may not have realised that what<br />
you’ve done has had much impact, but from all of us here<br />
at Orion, we just want to say thank you.<br />
Notice and Growth limit zones<br />

Power line voltage A. Growth limit zone B. Notice zone<br />
66,000 volts 4.0m 5.0m<br />

11,000 volts 1.6m 2.6m<br />
400/230 volts 0.5m 1.5m<br />
We’re not exaggerating.<br />
On our network, 10-20% of all unplanned power outages are<br />
caused by trees — including vegetation — coming into contact<br />
with power lines. Other than this, fire damage to property from<br />
branches sparking in dry conditions and serious injury from<br />
electrocution from contact with trees touching power lines are<br />
also possible consequences of not maintaining your trees.<br />
How close is too close?<br />
While most damage is caused by trees falling on power lines,<br />
significant risk exists from trees merely touching them. This risk<br />
increases the higher the voltage of the power line.<br />
<strong>The</strong> minimum distances that must be maintained between trees<br />
and power lines, as defined in the Electricity (Hazards from<br />
Trees) Regulations 2003, are outlined in the diagrams above.<br />
All vegetation should be kept out of the growth limit zone and<br />
preferably the notice zone.<br />
Sometimes it may not be practical to have a tree trimmed at the<br />
rate at which it grows and unfortunately, this means it may need<br />
to be removed. Other situations may require trees to be removed,<br />
most commonly when they are at a high risk of falling due to<br />
disease or adverse weather events.<br />
Where do I start?<br />
Before you begin, remember to keep yourself, and those around<br />
you, safe. We recognise that not everyone is experienced in tree<br />
trimming and are happy to advise you on what to do. We can arrange<br />
for trees near power lines to be trimmed at your expense, however<br />
we recommend you hire professionals to safely carry out the work.<br />
If you or someone working for you intends to work within four<br />
metres of power lines, a close approach consent is required from<br />
Orion before you start. As a tree owner, you may be liable for any<br />
damage caused by carrying out trimming or felling of trees.<br />
Will I be fined if I don’t comply?<br />
If a cut or trim notice is given to you and you fail to have the tree<br />
trimmed and/or advise us of the time and location of the trim<br />
without a reasonable excuse, this is an offence. This will make you<br />
liable for a fine not exceeding $10,000. If the offence continues,<br />
you will be liable for a further fine of not more than $500 for every<br />
day or part day during which the offence continues.<br />
More info can be found on our website and if<br />
you have any questions or notice any trees<br />
touching power lines in your area, please call<br />
us on 03 363 9898 or 0800 363 9898.<br />

Seats to remember Zed boys Delays<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
A SCULPTURE in memory<br />
of well known Sumner father<br />
and son Paul and Sam Zarifeh<br />
who died within three weeks of<br />
each other will be unveiled on<br />
Sunday.<br />
Sam, 27, died tragically in<br />
December after falling from a<br />
raft on the Landsborough River,<br />
inland from Haast – three weeks<br />
after his father Paul, 60, was<br />
claimed by pancreatic cancer.<br />
Paul co-founded the<br />
Canterbury Wetsuit Company<br />
in 1987, which later became<br />
Seventhwave Wetsuits.<br />
Sam was a teacher and<br />
boarding master at Christchurch<br />
Boys’ High School.<br />
On Sunday, a sculpture will<br />
be unveiled on the Esplanade in<br />
Sumner.<br />
It was designed and<br />
constructed by Sumner<br />
stonemason Mark Robberds<br />
after Paul Zarifeh’s widow Julie<br />
approached him about the idea.<br />
“It is hard to believe seven<br />
months has passed by since the<br />
losses of our beloved Zarifeh<br />
menfolk, Paul and Sam,” Mrs<br />
Zarifeh said.<br />
“As a family we continue<br />
to be immensely grateful for<br />
the outpouring of community<br />
support and kindness, and are<br />
thrilled to now be able to share<br />
this memorial as a focal point of<br />
remembrance.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> stone sculpture will be<br />
a place to sit and reflect “and<br />
maybe also check the surf,” Mr<br />
Robberds said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> stones themselves<br />
are significant as they were<br />
foundation stones from a<br />
Christchurch building.<br />
“In many ways Paul Zarifeh<br />
provided a foundation for many<br />
surfers in Christchurch through<br />
his business and through his<br />
support of young competitive<br />
surfers.”<br />
Stonemason Ben West and<br />
Sumner landscape architect<br />
Cameron Rennie helped Mr<br />
Robberds with the project.<br />
To reflect the family’s love<br />
of the outdoors, a number of<br />
special stones from around the<br />

that represents Paul’s Palestinian<br />

at 11am at the Esplanade<br />

WORK ON a mega centre in<br />
Hornby may not now start for at<br />
least another two years.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council revealed on<br />
Friday more consultation may<br />
be needed for the $35.7 million<br />
facility after a hearings panel<br />
recommended Denton Park not<br />
be the site. If Denton Park was<br />
given the nod, work was likely to<br />
have started this year.<br />
Greater Hornby Residents Association<br />
chairman Marc Duff<br />
said he was “surprised” that the<br />
decision was made prior to the<br />
official Denton Park decision<br />
during a meeting set for July 6.<br />
City councillor Vicki Buck<br />
said consultation was needed to<br />
avoid a judicial review, which<br />
could slow down the process by<br />
another two to three years.<br />
An additional $450,000 was<br />
budgeted for the two years work.<br />
If a new location is chosen<br />
within the next financial year,<br />
the funding could be brought<br />
forward by a year, Cr Buck said.<br />

Deborah Thomson -<br />
As someone who lives on<br />
the edge of the red zone,<br />
I certainly don’t want an<br />
East Lake, I have a number<br />
or concerns:<br />
<strong>The</strong> prevailing wind<br />
makes it a poor international<br />
course; the increase<br />
of bird life on the lake, and<br />
added E-coli would make it<br />
unswimmable; there is an<br />
increased risk of toxic algae<br />
bloom; car parks could<br />
isolate Dallington from<br />
its neighbouring suburbs;<br />
parking in surrounding areas<br />
would be an issue; large<br />
empty carparks would attract<br />
undesirables at night;<br />
the lake would cut New<br />
Brighton Rd in two forcing<br />
traffic through quiet<br />
residential areas; increase<br />
traffic flows on the lower<br />
end of Kerrs Rd (currently<br />
about 30 children live in<br />
that area) bringing parking<br />
and security risks to the<br />
residents; increased traffic<br />
CUT: Dropping the East Lake plan has sparked<br />
widespread debate. <br />
over the Gayhurst Bridge,<br />
which traffic engineers<br />
have already confirmed<br />
is poorly designed with<br />
limited sight lines and<br />
narrow turning room; the<br />
amount of water needed<br />
to maintain the lake; the<br />
amount of water pumped<br />
out of the lake; we already<br />
have two international<br />
courses in New Zealand<br />
and since 1950 have held<br />
less than five international<br />
events, how will this lake<br />
change this?<br />
I have watched with interest<br />
the comments on the<br />
East Lake Trust Facebook<br />
page. <strong>The</strong> majority of the<br />
commentators seem to<br />
come from the older leafy<br />
suburbs.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se are the same<br />
people that lock the doors<br />
of their Audis, Lexuses,<br />
Range Rovers and drive<br />
at high speed through the<br />
gritty east when picking<br />
up their polished children<br />
from Kerrs Reach.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y have no regard for<br />
those of us who live here<br />
and seem to think that<br />
their “want” for a lake<br />
takes precedent of those<br />
who live in the area,<br />
though to them we are just<br />
a bunch of uneducated,<br />
unwashed, criminal oik’s.<br />
I also have to wonder at the<br />
old boys’ network hard at<br />
work behind the scenes,<br />
pulling in favours all<br />
over the place. <strong>The</strong>y even<br />
managed to get very large<br />
posters up in Pak’n’Save<br />
Wainoni.<br />
I’ve never seen them allow<br />
any other lobby group<br />
to put anything up.<br />

Te Kura Tuarua o Horomaka<br />
Hillmorton High School<br />
Teachers<br />
crucial to<br />
students’<br />
‘learning<br />
by doing’<br />
Kia ora koutou, talofa lava,<br />
warm greetings to you all.<br />
One of our former students, James Adams, gave a<br />
passionate speech at Open Night a few years ago.<br />
James, a very able academic student, chose Hillmorton<br />
High School, in part, because of the diverse nature<br />
of our students. Our students come from a range of<br />
socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds and bring<br />
a wide range of prior learning to the school. By his<br />
fifth year at the school,<br />
James had developed into<br />
a strong critical thinker and<br />
he credited his own success<br />
and that of his peers to<br />
the excellent quality of our<br />
teachers.<br />
Our teachers are outstanding.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y have high expectations<br />
of themselves and each<br />
student.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are willing to research<br />
Ann<br />
Brokenshire<br />
and try new things in a “safe<br />
to fail environment”. In this<br />
way, as life-long learners, our<br />
staff are excellent role models<br />
for our students.<br />
James spoke about our teachers not just telling the<br />
students what to do but showing them and allowing<br />
them to “learn by doing”.<br />
Learning by doing in real-life contexts is a key to high<br />
engagement and I see this at Hillmorton a lot. Two<br />
examples:<br />
Recently, a Year 12 Business class showed me their<br />
“enterprise” products – they have created a legacy –<br />
using an online shop set up within our website, and a<br />
new laser cutter in our Technology Department. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
are designing and making products to sell which will<br />
create a good profit for our groups fundraising for<br />
varying activities.<br />
New products can be designed, made and sold for<br />
different fundraising groups into the future.<br />
A group of ten Year 7 & 8 students were asked to give<br />
feedback on a logo for a new $<strong>28</strong> million initiative from<br />
the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education to<br />
support well-being for Years 1-8 students across our<br />
city. As a result of their feedback and suggestions,<br />
the proposed logos were thrown out and sent back to<br />
the design team. <strong>The</strong> final logo for the initiative called<br />
“Mana Ake – stronger for tomorrow”, won our students’<br />
approval – a demonstration of authentic learning in a<br />
real situation.<br />
Across our curriculum from Year 7 through to Year<br />
13 our students are thriving within authentic learning<br />
contexts where our teachers have high expectations,<br />
passion for education and a real heart for students as<br />
they traverse the pre-teen and teenage years.<br />
<strong>The</strong> students and I thank all our wonderful staff here at<br />
Hillmorton.<br />
Tena - - koutou, tena - - koutou, tena - - koutou katoa<br />

‘Experience Hillmorton’ mornings give<br />
a taste of what our school has to offer<br />
Speechless... not at all<br />
Congratulations to Madina<br />
Miyakhel and Brendan Tindall<br />
who both recently achieved<br />
success in different speech<br />
competitions.<br />
Madina is no stranger to speech<br />
competitions and recently also<br />
shared her experiences with a<br />
group of deputy principals from<br />
a range of secondary schools.<br />
Madina was placed first in the<br />
regional contest for Lions Young<br />
Speechmaker. She delivered<br />
a six-minute prepared speech<br />
and a two-minute impromptu<br />
speech, and did really well in<br />
both.<br />
She now advances to the<br />
national competition which<br />
this year is in Rangiora in early<br />
August. She will be up against<br />
about 12 other speakers from<br />
the Lions regions around New<br />
Ex-pupil’s scholarship<br />
set to spread its wings<br />
Zealand, competing for a four<br />
to six week visit to the US and<br />
Canada, hosted by Lions Club<br />
members. <strong>The</strong> runner up gets<br />
a trip to Australia, and second<br />
runner up, a placement at an<br />
International Youth Camp in<br />
Rotorua.<br />
She has spoken at race unity<br />
speech competitions and is<br />
wishing to pursue study in<br />
political science.<br />
We also<br />
congratulate<br />
Brendan,<br />

Speaker<br />
Competition<br />
winning $350.<br />
John Pauwels is an Air New Zealand pilot who has<br />
recently retired.<br />
A former student of Hillmorton, John decided he<br />
wanted to give back to his alma mater.<br />
He has done so by awarding a flying scholarship<br />
which will allow one young person each year to fulfill a<br />
dream — that of learning to fly.<br />
At a recent celebration assembly, John presented the<br />
inaugural scholarship to Year 11 student, Wen Seng<br />
Chen.<br />
We congratulate Wen Seng and look forward with<br />
interest as to where this will lead in the future!<br />
Inspiring academic<br />
excellence, leadership,<br />
and a love of learning<br />
Following on from our Open Night, we are<br />
holding “Experience Hillmorton” mornings<br />
for Year 6 students at our contributing<br />
schools. This is an opportunity for these<br />
students to have a little taste of some of<br />
the teaching and learning that is occuring.<br />
Making pizza in Food Tech, ice cream in<br />
Science, and funky spinning tops were<br />
just some of the activities enjoyed by our<br />
visitors.<br />
Students also enjoyed student-written<br />
drama presentations where the key<br />
message was “teamwork is where it is at!”<br />
We look forward to seeing most of these<br />
students choose Hillmorton as their school<br />
of choice in 2019!<br />
Enrolment dates for 2019<br />
While many choose to come to Hillmorton<br />
in Year 6, we also have significant<br />
numbers joining us in Year 9 and we<br />
remind students and their families that<br />
the following are the enrolment dates for<br />
the Year 9, 2019 Intake across schools in<br />

Opinion<br />
Tanya Didham - I feel like I<br />
have been sharing my views quite<br />
a lot, both on my own behalf,<br />
and as co-chair of Greening<br />
the Red Zone. However, this is<br />
from me, personally. Suffice to<br />
say, there are very good reasons<br />
why Regenerate Christchurch<br />
took the out-of-river lake off<br />
the table. All those reasons (and<br />
all their technical reports and<br />
indicative business studies) have<br />
been laid out on their website<br />
since around July last year, (to<br />
inform the previous<br />
consultation.)<br />
<strong>The</strong> briefest glance<br />
at its findings show<br />
the out-of-river options<br />
to be: - Chiefly,<br />
ecologically damaging,<br />
and mainly<br />
because of impaired<br />
use of Horseshoe<br />
Lake as a key drainage area for<br />
the Cranford flood basin.<br />
- Disruptive to locals and infrastructure<br />
( more than 400,000<br />
truck movements) hugely<br />
expensive, both to make and to<br />
maintain.<br />
- Unlikely to draw big competitions<br />
away from their current<br />
venues of Lakes Ruataniwha<br />
and Karapiro and there is no economic<br />
benefit to New Zealand.<br />
From my perspective as a 20 year<br />
local and someone who has been<br />
talking a lot with people who<br />
love the river and the area - they<br />
want a beautiful green space with<br />
the river as the centrepiece and<br />
clean waterways, which tallies<br />
with the responses RC got in its<br />
previous consultation.<br />
<strong>The</strong> lake will cut the flow of<br />
the city to sea park in half and<br />
remove New Brighton Rd, it will<br />
treat our river like a drain, and<br />
will be at constant risk of contamination<br />
from groundwater (it<br />
will be partly fed from surficial<br />
aquifers and needs to use the<br />
deep aquifers to constantly flush<br />
it clean, 24/7). It will<br />
introduce an enormous<br />
body of water -<br />
around one and half<br />
million cubic metres<br />
- into the floodplain<br />
of a polluted urban<br />
river, in a high risk<br />
flood zone. In a high<br />
risk quake zone. I do<br />
not believe the East<br />
Lake Trust’s complaint against<br />
RC has any merit. To my knowledge<br />
RC been never been disingenuous,<br />
or less than rigorous in<br />
their research and consideration<br />
of ideas and none was more<br />
considered. My understanding<br />
is the lake advocates may take<br />
legal action potentially holding<br />
up decision-making on the red<br />
zone for years. This would be extremely<br />
disappointing. <strong>The</strong>ir actions<br />
seem to be designed to get<br />
their way, rather than contribute<br />
to finding the best solution.<br />
Learning quake lessons<br />
WHEN WE experience disaster,<br />
we can always learn lessons –<br />
what did we do well and what<br />
didn’t we do so well?<br />
It’s vital that we do this, and as<br />
a council, we are always putting<br />
the spotlight on what happened<br />
after every such experience. If<br />
we don’t look at what actually<br />
happened, then we could keep<br />
making the same mistakes over<br />
and over again.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re have been many<br />
reports done on aspects of what<br />
happened before, during and<br />
after the earthquakes. But they<br />
haven’t been brought together.<br />
<strong>The</strong> previous Government was<br />
all set to go on a symposium, but<br />
like the earthquakes themselves,<br />
it was to occur in an election<br />
year. <strong>The</strong>re was a genuine<br />
concern that it could be written<br />
off as a Government-sponsored,<br />
election year, whitewash if it only<br />
looked at the things that went<br />
well.<br />
<strong>The</strong> reality is that we often<br />
learn more from mistakes; the<br />
things that we wouldn’t want to<br />
be repeated. And that’s why it’s<br />
vital that we look back, not to<br />
blame, but to understand, and<br />
we need to be prepared to say<br />
what went wrong.<br />
This Government has agreed<br />

means we will be sharing the<br />
costs.<br />
A lot of the city council’s share<br />
will be ‘in kind’ support, and<br />
the full amount will be disclosed<br />
when known.<br />
If we don’t do this well,<br />
then there is a risk that future<br />
governments will make the same<br />
mistakes, which would mean the<br />
costs could be much greater, and<br />
I’m sure no-one would want that<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
Tech is New Zealand’s third-largest export sector and is growing fast, with over<br />
9000 new jobs expected to be created over the next two years*. To fuel this growth,<br />
NZ needs more people with a grounding in tech to meet the rapid expansion within<br />
this exciting and varied area, which crosses into many industries.<br />
SIGNAL ICT Grad School develops tech professionals to meet that growth via<br />
SHIFT, enabling more people to enter this dynamic and diverse sector.<br />
*NZ Tech Digital Skills Survey 2017<br />
<strong>The</strong> SHIFT Programme<br />
SHIFT is an innovative industry-driven programme for those who are seeking a new career path who may not have a<br />
tech background. Open to degree holders in any discipline, SHIFT learners have come from diverse backgrounds such<br />
as medicine, philosophy, sociology, commerce, geography, marketing, engineering and humanities. Available in both<br />
Christchurch and Dunedin, this one year programme offers relevant and current content skills to ensure you are well<br />
equipped to work within the tech area, where the skills you have learnt in previous work and study are highly valued.<br />
Partnering With Industry<br />
SHIFT uses immersive studio-based learning and real-world industry experience to produce graduates with a solid<br />
base of core computing skills, as well as communication and employability skills required in today’s collaborative<br />
workplaces. SHIFT includes several opportunities to meet and work with local tech industry employers, and includes<br />
industry visits, group projects designed and<br />
mentored by industry, and a 200 hour industry<br />
placement, where you work within the organisation<br />
on a curated project to add value to your host, and to<br />
showcase your capabilities.<br />
Opportunities<br />
With tech roles existing in nearly every area from<br />
aviation to zoology, career possibilities are extensive.<br />
Through the SHIFT programme, learners can focus<br />
on software design and development, or allied roles,<br />
such as business analyst, web designer, project<br />
manager, user experience designer, technical writer,<br />
sales and client support . . . and the list goes on.<br />
SIGNAL’s SHIFT Programme transitions graduates from any<br />
discipline into tech. Many new and mature graduates are<br />
considering tech as a viable and lucrative career option and<br />
this is increasing as the range of roles within tech becomes<br />
more widely known.<br />
Diversity of background and experiences is<br />
welcomed in the tech sector, where it is strongly<br />
recognised that it takes many viewpoints to best<br />
design products that meet customer requirements, and firms are actively recruiting to address gender and ethnic<br />
imbalances across their employees.<br />

ISAAC’S STORY:<br />
With a Masters in Geology and 10 years<br />
experience working in the mining industry,<br />
Isaac re-assessed his career goals, wanting a<br />
career that was more flexible and portable.<br />
‘I saw the SHIFT programme as an exciting<br />
opportunity to add specific tech skills to my<br />
knowledge base, so I can translate those skills<br />
into a new career.’ For his industry project, Isaac<br />
worked with Stantec NZ to represent aerial<br />
drone footage.<br />
‘<strong>The</strong> school-friendly course hours have allowed<br />
me to carry on with my before and after school<br />
duties, and this has really helped my family and<br />
my career training.’<br />
Isaac has just landed a role with Seequent,<br />
a global leader in the development of data<br />
visualisation software and collaborative<br />
technologies.<br />
FELICIA’S STORY:<br />
Felicia has a computer engineering degree<br />
from the Philippines where she worked as an<br />
Air Traffic Controller for 12 years before coming<br />
to New Zealand.<br />
‘SHIFT will enable and empower me to reignite<br />
my programming skills to eventually help me<br />
become work-ready. I am invested to take as<br />
much knowledge and practical skills from this<br />
course and apply them in more meaningful<br />
ways.’Felicia has really enjoyed her internship<br />
with Airways NZ, where she has been utilising<br />
her previous skills, and also her new tech skils<br />

2 Mental HealtH<br />
Our days are filled with driving here,<br />
driving there. Mobile phones, emails,<br />
texts, work, family, friends, community<br />
events, daily life chores. Every stage<br />
of life, rather 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s,<br />
100’s, has gotten busier and busier<br />
within our modern society.<br />
At these ages, we as an individual<br />
have many life experiences that have<br />
moulded us into who be are today. We<br />
have skills, and stories, and more time<br />
on our hands in which we can share<br />
our life’s journey with others.<br />
We can make our own choices of what<br />
we want to do and how we want to<br />
spend our time. We can spend time<br />
volunteering or writing a book or<br />
learning a new skill or teaching a skill<br />
we may have developed.<br />
We can determine how we want to<br />
give back and serve others, but most<br />
importantly for many, it’s the first time<br />
in their lives, when they can look in<br />
the mirror and ask the person looking<br />
back, who am I and what do I want?<br />
Growing up, most people have<br />
experienced authoritative personalities,<br />
who generally have our best interest<br />
at heart, but who also tell us how<br />
to think and feel. What to do. Who<br />
we should marry. What profession<br />
we should pursue, what school we<br />
should go to and a myriad of other life<br />
recommendations.<br />
Many of their recommendations,<br />
we follow, feeling obligated or not<br />

thinking they’re<br />
the adult, they<br />
know better and<br />
discounting our own<br />
inner thoughts.<br />
Only to find ourselves in later years,<br />
feeling unfulfilled, unhappy, stressed<br />
and wishing we had chosen a different<br />
pathway. Those youthful feelings were<br />
suppressed in order to follow our<br />
elders more sagely advice.<br />
Reconnecting with ourselves can<br />
happen at any stage of life, but<br />
generally happens starting in our 50’s<br />
after we have more free time, as our<br />
own parenting responsibilities lessen,<br />
we have time to start asking ourselves<br />
about our life what and we may want.<br />
and finding the personal power to<br />
make choices for ourselves.<br />
As winter is upon us, and the sun sets<br />

link between viruses<br />
and breast cancer<br />
<strong>The</strong> University of Canterbury’s Chair<br />
of Cancer Epidemiology, Professor Ann<br />
Richardson, is on a mission to discover if<br />
there is a link between common viruses<br />
and breast cancer.<br />
Her research team, the Wayne<br />
Francis Cancer Epidemiology Research<br />
Group, together with colleagues at the<br />
University of Otago (Christchurch)<br />
and internationally, has been working<br />
on a number of breast cancer research<br />
projects, including one which is testing<br />
the hypothesis that late exposure – in<br />
adulthood, rather than childhood – to<br />
common viruses such as cytomegalovirus<br />
or Epstein-Barr virus, increases the risk of<br />
breast cancer.<br />
“This has been an enduring interest of<br />
mine, looking at whether it’s possible that<br />
exposure to certain viruses might increase<br />
the risk of breast cancer, and so that’s been<br />
a focus of research,” Professor Richardson<br />
says.<br />
Where it all started<br />
Professor Richardson’s research interest<br />
in viruses and breast cancer began<br />
when she compared countries in terms<br />
of when women are exposed to a virus<br />
or seroconvert – which means they’re<br />
exposed to the virus and they develop<br />
antibodies.<br />
“I found that countries where most of<br />
the population had been exposed to the<br />
viruses at a young age had the lower risk<br />
of breast cancer,” Professor Richardson<br />
says.<br />
“Whereas in countries like New Zealand<br />
where a proportion of the population<br />
might not be exposed to viruses such as<br />
cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr virus<br />
– the sort of viruses that cause glandular<br />
fever – until they’re adults or young adults,<br />
these countries had the highest breast<br />
cancer incidence.”<br />
Professor Richardson carried out a study<br />
in partnership with Australian colleagues<br />
to compare antibody levels for these<br />
viruses in women with breast cancer and<br />
women without. <strong>The</strong>y found that women<br />
with breast cancer had higher antibody<br />
levels than those without.<br />
From New Zealand to<br />
Norway<br />
A second study using Norwegian blood<br />
samples also found that women with<br />
breast cancer were likely to have higher<br />
antibody levels for cytomegalovirus than<br />
women without breast cancer.<br />
“And the interesting thing about both<br />
the Australian and the Norwegian study<br />
was that there seemed to be an association<br />
for one virus, cytomegalovirus, but not the<br />
other.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> research group has also recently<br />
carried out a Finnish breast cancer casecontrol<br />
study. Professor Richardson says<br />
the findings will be included in a review<br />
article on cytomegalovirus and breast<br />
cancer.<br />
“This research builds on the earlier<br />
study carried out in Norway. <strong>The</strong> study<br />
compared cytomegalovirus and Epstein-<br />
Barr virus antibody levels in stored blood<br />
samples from 800 women with breast<br />
cancer and 800 women without breast<br />
cancer in a Finnish serum bank.”<br />
Professor Richardson says it is<br />
possible that there is no link between<br />
cytomegalovirus or Epstein-Barr virus and<br />
breast cancer.<br />
“We hope that if we do find a link, it<br />
might lead to a preventive strategy –<br />
through immunisation for instance. It may<br />
be that isn’t what we find, but the research<br />
we’re doing helps us to get a step further<br />
and is advancing knowledge.”<br />
Lifestyle changes<br />
reduce cancer risk<br />
Another recent project the research<br />
group has undertaken involved identifying<br />
lifestyle factors that could be modified<br />
to reduce the risk of developing breast<br />
cancer and bowel cancer in Aotearoa New<br />
Zealand.<br />
“For breast cancer it was reducing<br />
HRT [hormone replacement therapy]<br />
use, reducing obesity, increasing regular<br />
physical activity and avoiding high alcohol<br />
intake. For bowel cancer it was reducing<br />
obesity and alcohol consumption again,<br />
reducing smoking, reducing consumption<br />
of red and processed meats, and increasing<br />
regular physical activity,” Professor<br />
Richardson says.<br />
“You have to be careful when you<br />
do work like this because there’s only<br />
a certain proportion of cancer you can<br />
prevent through lifestyle change,” she says.<br />
“We hope this sort of information<br />
helps people to understand the risks, but<br />
also [helps] agencies like the Ministry of<br />
Health and the Cancer Society.”<br />
As a result of her involvement in these<br />
research projects, Professor Richardson<br />
was invited to join the Cancer Society of<br />
New Zealand National Health Promotion<br />
Advisory Committee in 2017.<br />
About the research<br />
group<br />
<strong>The</strong> Wayne Francis Cancer<br />
Epidemiology Research Group was<br />
established in 2011 as a partnership<br />
between University of Canterbury<br />
School of Health Sciences, in the College<br />
of Education, Health and Human<br />
Development, and the Wayne Francis<br />
Charitable Trust to support and encourage<br />
research into the distribution and<br />
determinants of cancer, and efforts to<br />
reduce the impact of cancer.<br />
In addition to supporting research<br />
projects undertaken by the Wayne Francis<br />
Cancer Epidemiology Research Group,<br />
the Wayne Francis Charitable Trust also<br />
funds the Graeme Davey PhD Scholarship<br />
and partly funds Professor Richardson’s<br />
position at UC.<br />

4 PHysical HealtH<br />
As you age, your muscles naturally lose<br />
strength and size and can become less<br />
supple and stiffer. This can affect the range<br />
of movement around your joints, which<br />
may lead to stiffness in the muscles and<br />
joints. It is this loss of tissue elasticity that<br />
can cause muscles and joints to tighten up.<br />
One of the key reasons that muscles lose<br />
their natural suppleness and flexibility<br />
and can become prone to tears, aches, and<br />
pains is being inactive. If the situation is<br />
not remedied in time, loss of flexibility<br />
could lead to permanent changes in<br />
posture and normal muscle function. It is<br />
therefore imperative to maintain muscle<br />
flexibility as an important component of<br />
overall fitness.<br />
So, what exactly is<br />
flexibility?<br />
Flexibility can be termed as the ability of<br />
your joints and body parts to execute their<br />
full range of motion. Flexibility is required<br />
in all your day-to-day activities such<br />
as bending, walking, lifting, etc. Being<br />
flexible allows your muscles to remain<br />
mobile. But, like most things, flexibility<br />
decreases with age and it is very important<br />
to include flexibility exercises in your daily<br />
workout regimen.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Benefits of<br />
Flexibility<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are a number of ways to test your<br />
flexibility. One of the most common ways,<br />
according to fitness experts, is to check if<br />
you can touch your toes while standing up<br />
with both legs straight. (You could check<br />
out various fitness sites available online for<br />
a more exact test.) If you find that you feel<br />
stiff, lacking in flexibility, suffering from<br />
bad posture or would like to<br />
increase your flexibility to<br />
improve your normal<br />
exercise routine,<br />
flexibility training<br />
is a must. Aerobic<br />
exercises and<br />
weight training<br />
include rapid<br />
and jerky<br />
movements,<br />
which can lead<br />
to joint and<br />
muscle fatigue.<br />
On the other<br />
hand, stretching<br />
exercises, yoga, and<br />
Pilates consist of gradual<br />
movements that can help to<br />
achieve greater flexibility.<br />
Other Benefits<br />
Being flexible helps to reduce soreness<br />
of muscles and improve posture.<br />
Stretching for slow gradual movements<br />
and holding each position for up to 30<br />
seconds (without pain) helps reduce<br />
muscle soreness after exercise. Stretching<br />
also improves muscular balance and<br />
posture by realigning tissue and thereby<br />
reducing the effort it takes to maintain<br />
good posture throughout the day.<br />
This helps decrease the risk of injury<br />
and improve physical performance.<br />
Flexible joints require less energy to<br />
move through a greater range of motion.<br />
This decreases your overall risk of injury<br />
and increases physical performance<br />
as well. Stretching works towards<br />
decreasing resistance in muscle tissue<br />
during any activity which helps increase<br />
blood and nutrients to your tissues. By<br />

stretching, you increase the temperature<br />
of your tissues and this increases the<br />
transportation of nutrients and your<br />
overall circulation. which in turn increases<br />
your range of motion and reduces<br />
degeneration of your joints.<br />
Stretching helps relax muscles. <strong>The</strong> more<br />
flexible your pelvic muscles, hamstrings,<br />
hip flexors, and quadriceps are, the less<br />
stress to your lower back. In addition to<br />
decreasing soreness and fatigue of your<br />
muscles, stretching also helps relax both<br />
the mind and body during any activity or<br />
exercise.<br />
Ways to Improve Your<br />
Flexibility<br />
So, what are some different ways to<br />
stay flexible? <strong>The</strong> best way to maintain<br />
flexibility is to stretch regularly. Whatever<br />
your age, you must incorporate stretching<br />
at least once a day. Even if it is not part<br />
of an exercise regimen, there are several<br />
simple stretching exercises that you can<br />
do at your desk or even in front of the<br />
TV. If time is short, focus on stretches<br />
that work the larger muscle groups such<br />
as shoulders, hamstrings, hips and lower<br />
back, and the calf muscles. It is these areas<br />
that are prone to stiffness and soreness as<br />
we grow older. But remember to always be<br />
careful to not overdo it.<br />
Flexibility exercises should also be<br />
incorporated into your normal exercise<br />
program, which may involve resistance<br />
(strength) training and cardiovascular<br />
exercise (walking, jogging, swimming and<br />
cycling). By doing so, you can improve<br />
both the quantity and quality of your<br />
muscles, joints and overall health. That<br />
being said, yoga is an effective way to<br />
complement your exercise routine for<br />
greater flexibility. Unlike most other<br />
physical exercise that work only on a<br />
physical level, yoga involves both your<br />
mental and physical capabilities. <strong>The</strong>re<br />
is a balance of energy between the body<br />
and the brain as well as increasing your<br />
flexibility, toning your muscles, and<br />
improving your lung capacity. All basic<br />
yoga poses work towards increasing the<br />
flexibility of the body so that it is capable<br />
of performing more complicated poses as<br />
time goes by. It would be wise therefore to<br />
incorporate yoga as a regular part of your<br />
workout program.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are several ways to improve your<br />
flexibility. Stretching and exercise help<br />
considerably but you also need to keep an<br />
eye on your diet and nutrition. Eating junk<br />
food and snacking on fatty and sugary<br />
snacks can make matters worse. You can<br />
promote fitness by combining a balanced<br />
diet (full of fresh fruits and vegetables)<br />
along with nutritional supplements that<br />
support joint health and improve your<br />
mobility.

By Ross Kiddie<br />
Emulating the concept of the original<br />
Suzuki Swift wasn’t going to be easy,<br />
however, the newcomer has been well<br />
received and judging by the sales figures it<br />
is going gangbusters.<br />
Harder still for Suzuki was creating a<br />
new Swift Sport, that car has long been<br />
a bang-for-your-buck model which has<br />
appealed to all generations of buyers<br />
who just want that little bit of extra<br />
performance.<br />
I really like the Swift Sport, it’s a fun car,<br />
and while it doesn’t have lightning speed<br />
it offers exhilaration in moderate doses.<br />
Such is its appeal to me, I even talked a<br />
work colleague into a Sport just prior to<br />
his retirement, and he loves it.<br />
With the arrival of the new Swift, the<br />
Sport comes completely redesigned. I’m<br />
pleased to report that Suzuki is making<br />
good use of its turbocharger development<br />
process, the 1.4-litre turbocharged fourcylinder<br />
unit from the Vitara is the new<br />
engine for Swift Sport, although its engine<br />
management protocols are structured<br />
more for performance.<br />
<strong>The</strong> engine is also down 213cc from the<br />
previous generation unit, but that matters<br />
little for not only is the new Swift Sport<br />
more economical, it has higher power<br />
outputs than its 1.6-litre predecessor.<br />
Suzuki rates the engine with 103kW<br />
and 230Nm, that’s up 3kW and 70Nm<br />
from before, a 44 per cent increase. What’s<br />
more, the power outputs are far<br />
more usable than before,<br />
peak power is realised<br />
at just 5500rpm,<br />
while maximum<br />
torque stretches<br />
from 2500rpm to<br />
SUzUKI<br />
has done it<br />
3500rpm. That<br />
means you don’t<br />
have to work the<br />
engine hard to glean<br />
performance, its best<br />
delivery is through<br />
the mid-range and that<br />
is what you want from<br />
the modern engine.<br />
As before, there’s a choice of<br />
manual or automatic transmission. <strong>The</strong>re’s<br />
been a lot of debate lately about the value<br />
of manual transmissions in our country.<br />
I’m of the belief they are essential, and I<br />
was so pleased that the evaluation car was<br />
a manual – after all, European buyers still<br />
flock to the manual gearbox, so there must<br />
be some merit in that.<br />
In manual form the gearbox has ratios<br />
which extract well engine performance,<br />
it will keep the engine honest yet it will<br />
also dawdle at city speeds without taxing<br />
the driver, but it also encourages throttle<br />
action. Against the clock the new Swift<br />
will scamper from a standstill to 100km/h<br />
in around 8sec and will make a highway<br />
overtake in 5sec.<br />
While its performance is desirable, the<br />
Swift Sport’s main claim to fame is in its<br />
handling. Suzuki has created a whole<br />
new platform for the new model, and the<br />
Sport has a refined mixture of ride<br />
quality for comfort along with<br />
the firmness needed to<br />
promote sports car-type<br />
handling.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is absorption<br />
within the springs and<br />
dampers, the ride is<br />
compliant, and it will<br />
tackle uneven surfaces<br />
with a surprising<br />
amount of suspension<br />
travel, yet it also clings<br />
to the road with a low<br />
centre of gravity and even<br />
balance.<br />
I took the test car on my usual<br />
highway loop through to Hororata with a<br />
slight excursion up to part of the amazing<br />
road leading into Lake Coleridge Village.<br />
A busy day meant I didn’t have time to<br />
tackle the entire distance, but even to the<br />
point of Terrace Downs where I turned<br />
around to come home, I gleaned enough<br />
of an indication of the Swift Sport’s<br />
wonderful handling capability. It’s a pointand-turn<br />
performance car with directional<br />
accuracy not often seen in a car of this<br />
price.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Swift Sport is listed at an amazing<br />
$<strong>28</strong>,500 (automatic add $500), which to<br />
me indicates a special package. <strong>The</strong>re is<br />
lot of kit in the car and Suzuki should<br />
be congratulated for providing the Sport<br />
driver with a lot of features for comfort<br />
and convenience, as well as safety.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Swift Sport will also offer realistic<br />
fuel usage returns. It must be taken into<br />
account that most modern turbochargers<br />
are also responsible for leaning out<br />
fuel use, and when there are only small<br />
cylinders to fill with fuel, usage is always<br />
going to be miserly.<br />
Sure, if you constantly work the<br />
accelerator up and down, the Swift Sport<br />
won’t be quite so thrifty. I was quite<br />
aggressive during my time with the test<br />
car yet it still listed a 7.8-litre per 100km<br />
(37mpg) combined cycle average. Suzuki<br />
claims 6.1l/100km (46mpg) is achievable,<br />
and I guess if you take into account that<br />
at 100km/h a 5l/100km (56mpg) figure is<br />
showing, then Suzuki’s claim could well be<br />
achievable.<br />
It would be fair to say I particularly<br />
enjoyed my time in the new Sport. It<br />
certainly reinforced my desire for manual<br />
transmissions and I just felt so at ease with<br />
its driveability in general. It’s not a car for<br />
the serious performance enthusiast, but<br />
it is an all-rounder which will provide<br />
honesty every time you open the throttle.<br />

Broadway Hitmen follows on from the<br />
grand success of An Evening of Rodgers<br />
and Hammerstein Classics, the midseason<br />
concert which wowed audiences<br />
last year.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Ryman Healthcare Showbiz<br />
Christchurch Orchestra, 16 soloists and<br />
a large chorus will fill the Isaac <strong>The</strong>atre<br />
Royal stage to present a concert of backto-back<br />
hits from two of the biggest<br />
names in musical theatre, Cole Porter and<br />
Andrew Lloyd Webber.<br />
American born Porter wrote over<br />
800 songs during a career spanning five<br />
decades, conquering both Broadway and<br />
Hollywood. His soaring melodies, offset<br />
with urbane and witty lyrics, gave rise<br />
to his signature musical genre known as<br />
‘the Cole Porter song’. Iconic musicals<br />
like Anything Goes, Can Can and Kiss<br />
Me Kate remain stage and screen classics,<br />
finding new audiences with every decade.<br />
Many of his greatest songs have been<br />
covered by modern stars like Michael<br />
Bublé, Robbie Williams and Lady Gaga.<br />
British composer Andrew Lloyd<br />
Webber is arguably the best known name<br />
in modern musical theatre. In 2017<br />
he became the first composer to have<br />
four musicals playing simultaneously<br />
on Broadway since 1953. Webber has<br />
written some of the world’s most loved<br />
and successful musicals including Evita,<br />
<strong>The</strong> Phantom of the Opera, Jesus Christ<br />
Superstar, CATS and Sunset Boulevard.<br />
“This is more than just a ‘stand up and<br />
sing’ concert,” says Musical Director Ravil<br />
Atlas. “Each of the 26 songs presented has<br />
been cherry picked and represents the best<br />
and most popular songs from two of the<br />
greatest Broadway melodists.”<br />
Atlas, who originally comes from<br />
California, has had a distinguished and<br />
varied career in opera, musical theatre and<br />
ALL tHE<br />
SoNgS<br />
you have been<br />
waiting for<br />
concerts for over 25<br />
years. He has starred<br />
as the leading<br />
tenor in more than<br />
70 professional<br />
opera productions<br />
in six countries,<br />
performed the role<br />
of Piangi in the<br />
Broadway production of<br />
<strong>The</strong> Phantom of the Opera<br />
in San Francisco, starred as<br />
Jean Valjean in Les Misérables and<br />
has taught many other professional singers<br />
and actors at the highest level. In 2017<br />
he appeared as a mentor in TVNZ’s <strong>The</strong><br />
Naked Choir.<br />
Stage Director Nickie Wellbourn is<br />
charged with bringing the songs to life on<br />
stage. “Each song performed in Broadway<br />
Hitmen will have its own on-stage<br />
storytelling,” says Wellbourn. “I’ll also be<br />
including a few surprises to build on the<br />
‘wow’ moments from the 2017 concert.”<br />
One surprise which can be revealed<br />
is the inclusion of former Christchurch<br />
actor/singer Nic Kyle, who is now based<br />
in Vancouver. Kyle will be singing<br />
‘Gethsemane’from Jesus Christ Superstar,<br />
which he performed to critical acclaim<br />
whilst touring Australasia with world<br />
famous musical theatre diva Elaine Page<br />
in 2012.<br />
Kyle was described in a Stage Whispers<br />
review as “a musical theatre artist with<br />
an amazing voice who wowed the<br />
audience. His songs were received by<br />
rapturous applause which rivaled the star<br />
performer, and the show would be worth<br />
seeing for his performance.” <strong>The</strong> tour<br />
with Paige opened doors for Kyle on the<br />
West End, where he performed for four<br />
years and was nominated for Best Actor<br />
(BroadwayWorld) for his role in Savage<br />
(<strong>The</strong> Arts <strong>The</strong>atre).<br />
Kyle grew up<br />
in Ilam, attended<br />
Christ’s College, and<br />
graduated from the<br />
National Academy of<br />
Singing and Dramatic<br />
Arts (NASDA). In<br />
2009 he performed<br />
the lead role with Showbiz<br />
Christchurch in the New<br />
Zealand premiere of Miss Saigon<br />
before landing the touring gig as Paige’s<br />
sole supporting act.<br />
Kyle will be joined on stage in Broadway<br />
Hitmen by 15 other soloists, a 30 strong<br />
orchestra and a chorus of more than 50<br />
to present all the songs from two of the<br />
greatest popular melodists in one concert.<br />
“I was introduced to the songs of Cole<br />
Porter by my mother when I was a child<br />
and I have loved them ever since. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
were her favourites and now they are<br />
mine,” says Wellbourn. “I hope to see an<br />
audience full of people sharing the music<br />
they love with younger members of their<br />
family.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> repertoire will take the audience<br />
from the birth of Broadway with Cole<br />
Porter’s witty and suave Broadway<br />
standards from the 1930s, through the<br />
Lloyd Webber blockbusters. “It starts with<br />
1930s nostalgia and ends with Broadway<br />
on steroids,” says Atlas. “It’s all your old<br />
friends together in one concert from<br />
two writers who gave the world popular<br />
melody.”<br />
And for those who don’t think they<br />
know any Porter or Webber songs, Atlas<br />
and Wellbourn reassure “there are plenty<br />
of songs you will recognise and don’t<br />
realise that you already knew!”<br />
Broadway Hitmen will be at the Isaac<br />
<strong>The</strong>atre Royal for four performances from<br />
13-15 July <strong>2018</strong>.<br />

A CON man who tells his<br />
intended victims he will harm<br />
their families if they don’t pay up<br />
may face a bigger problem than<br />
the law – gangs.<br />
Police have received 19 complaints<br />
from Christchurch people<br />
targeted by the sinister scam. It<br />
involves phone<br />
calls and texts to<br />
victims who are<br />
told the caller is<br />
from the Mongrel<br />
Mob, Highway 61<br />
or Black Power.<br />
Pay up or your<br />
family members, Greg<br />
including elderly Newbold<br />
parents, will be<br />
attacked, the caller says.<br />
But it appears the con man is<br />
not connected to the gangs, just<br />
using their names to put fear into<br />
the intended victims.<br />
Canterbury University criminologist<br />
Greg Newbold said yesterday<br />
the gangs would be “filthy”.<br />
“All I can say is he’s got a death<br />
wish,” he said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y will be absolutely p***ed<br />
off. Anybody who impersonates<br />
a gang member is committing a<br />
serious crime against the gang.”<br />
Prof Newbold said the perpetrator<br />
could get a “hiding” for that<br />
alone.<br />

Yoga is a fabulous way to get moving<br />
and help your body retrain itself<br />
to become more flexible or<br />
maintain its flexibility which<br />
is of major importance<br />
as the body ages. Yoga<br />
offers the opportunity<br />
for a person to<br />
reconnect with their<br />
physical and mental<br />
wellbeing and provides<br />
a subtle, low stress<br />
way of regaining body<br />
confidence after an injury,<br />
illness or sedentary lifestyle.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are different yoga practices to<br />
consider and try. Although, they are<br />
very similar in poses, there are slight<br />
differences and you will determine<br />
which method you prefer.<br />
Yoga provides numerous health<br />
benefits and has been scientifically<br />
proven to reduce stress, joint pain<br />
and blood pressure. Yoga focuses on<br />
reconnecting you with you, which<br />
benefits your mental and emotional<br />
wellbeing as your inner core reconnects.<br />
Regular yoga practice can help<br />
influence weight loss, but not in the<br />
“traditional” sense of how we link<br />
physical activity to weight loss. Yoga<br />
exercise burns fewer calories than<br />
traditional physical exercise like walking,<br />
swimming or biking. Yoga focuses on<br />
increasing one’s mindfulness and stress<br />
reduction. This helps a person with their<br />
LImBER UP<br />
with yoga<br />
stress management which affects eating<br />
habits and nutrient absorption.<br />
Yoga can be done at a<br />
studio, or in the comfort<br />
of your own home and<br />
doesn’t require fancy<br />
equipment. Fifteen<br />
minute sessions or<br />
longer, a few times<br />
a week is highly<br />
recommended to help<br />
the muscles remember their<br />
flexible flow. If you don’t use your<br />
muscles, they lose their flexibility, but<br />
you can always start over as muscles and<br />
yoga are forgiving.<br />
Adding yoga to your lifestyle at home<br />
is as easy as one, two, three.<br />
1. Place a towel or mat on a large<br />
enough area in a room that you can lay<br />
down and stretch out on the floor<br />
2. <strong>Star</strong>t either music or a video in<br />
the comfort of your own home. <strong>Star</strong>t<br />
slowly as your body becomes use to<br />
the stretching poses. Go at your own<br />
pace. Be slow and kind to yourself.<br />
Only push a little further when you feel<br />
comfortable. Use a support device or<br />
extra towel as your body is relearning<br />
how to stretch<br />
3. Breathe and breathe deep<br />

Piki Poke, <strong>The</strong> Crossing<br />
Lyttelton ski maker<br />
teams up with<br />
champagne company<br />
Veuve Clicquot has teamed up<br />
with Lyttelton’s Kingswood Skis<br />
to release 10 pairs of limited<br />
edition skis.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Kingswood X Clicquot<br />
collaboration skis have a bold<br />
colourama print with a hardwearing<br />
finish.<br />
Founded by Kris and Alex<br />
Herbert in Lyttelton in 2005,<br />
Kingswood Skis is a boutique,<br />
hand-made ski maker wellknown<br />
for its durable skis with<br />
bold graphic prints.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 10 pairs of limited edition<br />
skis, which will be hand-made by<br />
Alex in the Lyttelton workshop,<br />
have been created for the<br />
Clicquot in the Snow festival in<br />
Queenstown in August.<br />
“We are honoured to be<br />
collaborating with Verve<br />
Clicquot on their annual winter<br />
champagne festival to develop<br />
this limited-edition ski. It’s such a<br />
natural fit. With this collaboration,<br />
we’re celebrating winter and the<br />
joy of things made well,” Alex<br />
said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> limited edition run of<br />
Clicquot Skis will be available to<br />
order direct from Kingswood Skis.<br />
Matariki night markets at the<br />
Arts Centre<br />
<strong>The</strong> Arts Centre will host night markets for<br />
the first time next week to celebrate Matariki.<br />
<strong>The</strong> markets, on July 6 and 7, will take place<br />
from 4pm-10pm. <strong>The</strong>re will be kapa haka<br />
performances, live New Zealand music,<br />
traditional kai and favourites such as fish and<br />
chips and pavlova, along with New Zealand<br />
arts, crafts, and jewellery. <strong>The</strong> markets are<br />
among a number of events the Arts Centre<br />
is holding to celebrate Matariki, which is the<br />
Maori name for the cluster of stars also known<br />
as the Pleiades. <strong>The</strong> cluster rises in mid-winter<br />
and marks the start of a new year.<br />
Dimitris now open near<br />
Plymouth Lane<br />
Dimitris Greek Food cart has returned to<br />
the central city. <strong>The</strong> iconic Greek eatery<br />
which opened more than 20 years ago<br />
reopened in Cashel Mall near Plymouth<br />
Lane on Friday. It used to be in Re:START,<br />
which later became the container mall,<br />
until it closed in April to make way for the<br />
new Riverside Market. Dimitris will have a<br />
permanent store in that new development<br />
when it opens early next year. Others can<br />
get their fix at the Riccarton Rd store.<br />
If you’re after a fresh and light lunch<br />
option, say aloha to Piki Poke.<br />
It specialises in poke bowls, a<br />
Hawaiian dish consisting of rice, salad,<br />
marinated fish and toppings.<br />
Up until February, it was a little<br />
experienced cuisine in Christchurch.<br />
That is until Piki Poke opened on the<br />
second floor of <strong>The</strong> Crossing.<br />
<strong>The</strong> concept is simple: Choose your<br />
base, protein, three salad ingredients,<br />
sauce and the toppings sprinkled over<br />
at the end.<br />
I went for a sesame slaw for the base<br />
topped with raw tuna as the protein.<br />
For the salad garnishes I ran the<br />
grated beetroot, edamame beans and<br />
seaweed salad.<br />
Of the seven sauce options, I opted for<br />
the creamy wasabi mayo, then topped<br />
with whole roasted peanuts, sesame<br />
seeds and crunchy fried shallots.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are two serving sizes, a regular<br />
or a large. Don’t underestimate the<br />
regular, which I had, because it’s more<br />
filling than it looks.<br />
If you want to stop in for lunch, be<br />
warned. It is a small space and the<br />
queue can go out the door. While it<br />
may not be the best atmosphere to eat,<br />
it’s a short stroll to <strong>The</strong> Terrace.<br />

Top tips for planting in winter<br />
In the midst of<br />
winter, Rachel<br />
Vogan provides a<br />
few top growing tips<br />
COLD NIGHTS and clear days<br />
are good for the garden. Plus,<br />
the frosts that kill many insect<br />
and bug problems are generally<br />
followed by a sunny day, making<br />
clean-up and pruning tasks<br />
rather pleasant.<br />
Over the next few weeks<br />
pruning should be front of<br />
mind; a good winter clean-up<br />
now will pay dividends in the<br />
upcoming season. <strong>The</strong> basics<br />
of pruning and cutting back<br />
is to limit the size of the plant,<br />
which allows more light and<br />
air movement into the plant’s<br />
centre, and to always remove<br />
any damaged or diseased limbs.<br />
Don’t be afraid to use your<br />
loppers liberally.<br />
Another focus can be any<br />
trees, shrubs or roses that are<br />
in the wrong spot. <strong>The</strong>se can be<br />
moved now, just remember to<br />
dig the new hole first or have any<br />
pots ready and waiting.<br />
Vegetables<br />
Parsnips should be on the<br />
menu now as a winter staple. Did<br />
you know that you do not need<br />
to harvest them all at once? Once<br />
they mature they can be left in<br />
the ground until mid-spring,<br />
saving you room in the fridge.<br />
This crop can only<br />
be grown from seed sown in<br />
October or November, while the<br />
soil is still cool.<br />
Keep planting garlic. Hunt<br />
out the fattest cloves you can<br />
find and aim to get them in the<br />
ground this month. Seedlings<br />
will appear in the shops soon as<br />
well.<br />
Spring onions, spinach, winter<br />
lettuce and mustard can all be<br />
transplanted into the ground<br />
now too.<br />
Crop cover<br />
Just like humans, parts of the<br />
garden like a little protection<br />
from the cold elements. Frost<br />
cloth is a good option to cover<br />
up tender citrus and climbers,<br />
and portable cloches and<br />
vegetable frames take the chill off<br />
the soil to speed up the growing<br />
process of many winter edible<br />
crops. Crop frames are easy to<br />
make from materials you may<br />
have at home. Net curtains work<br />
well when stretched between<br />
bamboo canes or if you have old<br />
windows about the place, prop<br />
these up on some bricks or slabs<br />
to offer protection.<br />
Water features<br />
At this time of year, algae<br />
can quickly build up in water<br />
gardens, mostly because of fallen<br />
leaves. Remove leaves<br />
as soon as they fall to help<br />
control the problem. Now is also<br />
a good time to empty ponds and<br />
features that are small enough to<br />
do so.<br />
Once empty, allow to fully<br />
dry out and treat the area with a<br />
pre-algae treatment, which you<br />
will find in the garden centres.<br />
In cold areas, float a ball in the<br />
water to prevent small ponds and<br />
features from freezing.<br />
Fruit trees<br />
Plant bare-rooted trees now.<br />
July and August are some of<br />
the best months of the year to<br />
plant deciduous fruit trees like<br />
apples, peaches, pears, apricots,<br />
cherries, plums and nectarines.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y cope better with planting<br />
out as the plants are in a state of<br />
dormancy, limiting transplant<br />
shock, which can happen if<br />
planted in the warmer months.<br />
For gardens where space is<br />
limited, consider planting<br />
double- or triple-grafted fruit<br />
trees, this not only saves space<br />
but allows you to enjoy a wider<br />
variety of harvest.<br />
Seeds, seeds & more<br />
seeds<br />
On those cold days when<br />
venturing outdoors isn’t an<br />
option, start thinking about<br />
what crops you want to grow in<br />
this upcoming season. All the<br />
seed catalogues are out now, and<br />
available online. It’s also a good<br />
time to stock up on seed-sowing<br />
essentials like seed-raising mix,<br />
seedling trays and labels, etc.<br />
A good idea is to share seeds<br />
with friends – often I find there<br />
are too many seeds for just my<br />
garden so passing around excess<br />
plants or seeds with others saves<br />
space and time, and makes it<br />
fun too.<br />

Sport<br />
Woods train crash helps the battling Bulldogs<br />
IN THE space of 10 days last<br />
year, Bulldogs fans had every<br />
right to believe again.<br />
On April 30, they signed<br />
Kangaroos and NSW prop Aaron<br />
Woods on a four-year deal. Soon<br />
after, they convinced Kieran<br />
Foran to leave the Warriors to<br />
play again under coach Des<br />
Hasler.<br />
And now? One prized signing<br />
has left the building, the other<br />
is still in the building but badly<br />
injured. On Tuesday, Woods was<br />
released to join the Sharks for the<br />
rest of this season and another<br />
three after that. Meanwhile,<br />
Foran is about to have surgery on<br />
a busted toe that will sideline him<br />
for the rest of the year.<br />
“Stability is something I’m<br />
really looking forward to,”<br />
Woods told the Sydney Morning<br />
Herald. “I’m excited about the<br />
next three-and-a-half years.”<br />
You can imagine the collective<br />
eye roll from Bulldogs supporters<br />
as he said it. Didn’t Woods leave<br />
his beloved Wests Tigers because<br />
he wanted “stability?” Instead,<br />
he walked straight into a salary<br />
cap catastrophe that has set the<br />
Bulldogs back years, one that has<br />
ultimately claimed the jobs of<br />
Hasler, chief executive Raelene<br />
Castle and, finally, chairman Ray<br />
Dib.<br />
Does Woods reckon he’ll see<br />
out his Sharks contract?<br />
“Definitely,” he said, before<br />
nervously grinning. “Well, I hope<br />
so.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> reality is Woods’ departure<br />
is of enormous benefit to the<br />
Bulldogs. As harsh as it sounds,<br />
it would help them even more if<br />
Foran decided over the next six<br />
months that it’s time to consider<br />
his life after football.<br />
Both the Bulldogs and Sharks<br />
are claiming victory over the<br />
Woods deal, adamant they’re<br />
getting the best value for money.<br />
Woods’ move has been talked<br />
about for weeks but it wasn’t<br />
confirmed until late on Monday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> timing was important. If<br />
Woods was to play for the Sharks<br />
against the Warriors in Auckland<br />
on Friday, he needed to be named<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
on Tuesday night in their 21-man<br />
squad.<br />
And with Paul Gallen headed<br />
for retirement, and Wade<br />
Graham and Luke Lewis battling<br />
injuries, and with the Sharks<br />
needing a big boy in the middle<br />
to ensure they make the finals,<br />
it is a smart signing for coach<br />
Shane Flanagan.<br />
It will be a long time before the<br />
salary cap mess at the Bulldogs<br />
is untangled, but Woods’ early<br />
departure relieves a lot of<br />
pressure.<br />

All Blacks return for Highlanders – except Squire<br />
• By Steve Hepburn<br />
HIGHLANDERS loose forward<br />
Liam Squire is unlikely to face<br />
the Chiefs on Saturday due to a<br />
shoulder injury – but the side’s<br />
other All Blacks will front in Fiji.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Highlanders resumed<br />
training on Tuesday and are<br />
due to head to Suva on a charter<br />
plane today.<br />
Squire injured his shoulder in<br />
the second test against France<br />
and did not play the third test<br />
at Forsyth Barr Stadium. It was<br />
hoped he would be right for the<br />
match in Fiji but Highlanders assistant<br />
coach Glenn Delaney said<br />
the loose forward was unlikely to<br />
make it on Saturday.<br />
Delaney said all the other All<br />
Blacks who had come back into<br />
the camp were in good nick and<br />
fitted in straight away.<br />
‘’<strong>The</strong>y have been in camps<br />
all year, so again it has become<br />
pretty normal for us to get them<br />
back. What our All Blacks are<br />
great at doing is getting out of<br />
one environment and coming<br />
back to another,’’ he said.<br />
Seven Highlanders made it<br />
onto the field for the All Blacks<br />
on Saturday, which was pleasing<br />
for Delaney.<br />
‘’<strong>The</strong>y did themselves proud<br />
and made us proud and we’re<br />
pleased to see them back. It is<br />
always exciting to see guys realise<br />
their potential. Some guys are<br />
only just starting their journey.<br />
Others are well through it, and<br />
getting better.<br />
‘’One thing we like is our<br />
guys always like coming back<br />
and seeing the boys here. Our<br />
environment is very different<br />
from the All Black environment.<br />
That is based on our culture,<br />
context and people. <strong>The</strong> guys love<br />
coming back to us. <strong>The</strong>y love the<br />
All Blacks but once they come<br />
back here they are 100 per cent<br />
Highlanders.’’<br />
<strong>The</strong> Highlanders trained<br />
indoors at the Edgar Centre<br />
yesterday, getting away from the<br />
Dunedin chill.<br />
Delaney is looking forward to<br />
the warmer Fiji climate.<br />
“Last time I went to Fiji it was<br />
my honeymoon. It is an opportunity<br />
to take the Highlanders<br />
on the road and see some new<br />
people. We have some strong<br />
connections there with Waisake<br />
[Naholo] and Tevita [Nabura]<br />
and a lot of old Landers over<br />
there. So we will be linking up<br />
with them.’’<br />
<strong>The</strong> Highlanders had a hit-out<br />
last week in Invercargill with a<br />
solid 29-10 win over the French<br />
Barbarians.<br />

Brothers in arms chase league title<br />
Duo link up at<br />
Northern<br />
Bulldogs<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
BAMFORD brothers Chris<br />
and Jason have a lot in<br />
common – they’re both<br />
massive props, are<br />
renowned for breaking<br />
tackles, start most<br />
sentences with<br />
“yeah mate” and<br />
always seem to be<br />
up for a laugh.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y’ve also<br />
won four Canterbury<br />
club<br />
league premierships<br />
between<br />
them. However,<br />
it’s taken until this<br />
year for them to play on the<br />
same team.<br />
When Chris, 35, returned<br />
from a stint playing in Orange,<br />
New South Wales, late last year<br />
he was unsure of where he would<br />
play his club footy this season.<br />
However, his mind was quickly<br />
made up after a conversation<br />
with his older brother Jason.<br />
“I just said to [Chris], why<br />
don’t you come to Kaiapoi and<br />
play for the Northern Bulldogs?<br />
<strong>The</strong>y’ll love you,” said Jason.<br />
“I said if you [James] come out<br />
of retirement, then I’ll come and<br />
play for the ‘Dogs,” said Chris.<br />
Jason, 38, retired from the<br />
game in 2011 and up until January<br />
had no interest in returning<br />
to top flight club league.<br />
“I lost the love for the game.<br />
But this was too good to turn<br />
down,” said Jason.<br />
“I know that Kaiapoi is always<br />
looking for forwards so I started<br />
getting back into the gym.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> decision is reaping<br />
rewards. On Saturday, Jason<br />
crashed his way over the line to<br />

score a match-winning try in the<br />
Bulldogs’ 24-20 win over<br />
the Hornby Panthers.<br />
<strong>The</strong> win moves<br />
them into a tie<br />
for second in<br />
the premiership<br />
with<br />
the Panthers<br />
on<br />
14 points.<br />
<strong>The</strong><br />
try was<br />
Jason’s<br />
third<br />
of the<br />
season.<br />
Chris is<br />
currently<br />
one<br />
of the<br />
leading try<br />
scorers in the competition with<br />
nine. While the pair are both<br />
battering ram props with Chris<br />
125kg and Jason 130kg, how they<br />
go about scoring differs, according<br />
to Jason anyway.<br />
“He [Chris] is a bit more of a<br />
hot stepper and seems to jam<br />
his way through a gap, whereas I<br />
like to go straight through guys,”<br />
said Jason.<br />
Although the pair haven’t<br />
played on the same team until<br />
this year, it’s not like they haven’t<br />
tried. Jason has previously<br />
transferred to Linwood Keas and<br />
Celebration Lions in an attempt<br />
to link up with his brother. However,<br />
on both occasions Chris left<br />
for offers to play in Australia.<br />
“We’ve always been really close<br />
so it’s a privilege to finally be<br />
able to play next to one another,”<br />
said Jason.<br />
But he’s not just playing alongside<br />
his brother, now he’s also<br />
being coached by him. Chris has<br />
come on-board at the Bulldogs<br />
as a co-coach – alongside Brent<br />
Ringdahl – with the idea of taking<br />
over as head coach next year.<br />
Chris isn’t new to coaching.<br />
His first coaching experience<br />
came unexpectedly in 2010 in<br />
Australia when his agent Frank<br />
Endacott found him a job as a<br />
player-coach with Warialda in<br />
north-west New South Wales.<br />
“Frank Endacott rang me and<br />
said get over there and play. He<br />
then told me I was the coach<br />
as well. I thought bloody hell<br />
he’s thrown me in the deep end<br />
because I’ve never coached . . . he<br />
said don’t worry, it will be easy<br />
mate,” said Chris.<br />
“As it turns out, [Endacott[<br />
looked after me because you get<br />
paid more for being a playercoach.”<br />
Chris is going for his own<br />
three-peat with the Bulldogs<br />
this year. He won the Pat Smith<br />
Trophy with the Linwood<br />
Keas in 2016. Last year he was<br />
instrumental in Orange CYMS<br />
winning the group 10 premiership.<br />
He was also awarded the<br />
competition’s player of the year<br />
award. “Yeah mate, the goal this<br />
year is to get to the grand-final.<br />
Once you’re there anything can<br />
happen on the day . . . we want<br />
to send a few old boys out with a<br />
bang,” said Chris.<br />
One of those old boys is Jason,<br />
who, along with Kyle Reuben,<br />
are the only surviving members<br />
from the Bulldogs’ one and only<br />
premiership win in 2007.<br />
Even with coaching duties set<br />
to increase next season Chris<br />
doesn’t see himself hanging up<br />
the boots anytime soon.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> body’s not too bad at the<br />
moment, definitely not as bad as<br />
Jason’s anyway,” said Chris.<br />

when the first car you see on the<br />

since 1984. Thank goodness the<br />
decision has already been made<br />
to include the event in next<br />
year’s calendar – it’s a spectator’s<br />
paradise.<br />
Even with the hesitation to<br />
get out of bed and desire to get<br />
back to Christchurch before<br />
dark, I made it to four of the<br />
rally’s 11 special stages. However,<br />
it was possible to easily get to<br />
at least six stages, including a<br />
blast around Levels Raceway,<br />
due to the close proximity of<br />
stages and number of accessible<br />
intersections.<br />
Compare that to the recent<br />
Canterbury Rally around Ashley<br />
Forest, where you’ll spend 50min<br />
driving from one spectator point<br />
to another and be lucky to see<br />
three stages. Perhaps it’s time to<br />
make points of the forest more<br />
accessible to spectators or make<br />
use of the fast-flowing public<br />
roads surrounding the forest in<br />
North Canterbury.<br />
From talking to drivers, the<br />
proximity of the stages in South<br />
Canterbury also appears to be a<br />
hit with them, making for less<br />
time in the car between stages.<br />
<strong>The</strong> South Canterbury Rally<br />
was one of the fastest in the<br />
world. In all but one of the<br />
10 public road stages, the top<br />
stage time was set at an average<br />
speed of more than 120km/h,<br />
made even more remarkable<br />
considering the drivers were<br />
dealing with icy roads in the<br />
early morning stages.<br />
We may not be getting the<br />
return of a round of the<br />
World Rally Championship<br />
any time soon, but with 96<br />
entries at the weekend’s event,<br />
including our own WRC driver<br />
and two of Australia’s top<br />
drivers, the competitive level of<br />
rallying on a whole appears to<br />
be in a very good spot in New<br />
Zealand.<br />
It might be a further<br />
drive from Christchurch<br />
than Ashley Forest but come<br />
next year the South Canterbury<br />
Rally will be a highly-anticipated<br />
day out, especially for the<br />
Fairlie pork belly pie waiting to<br />
warm me up and blow off some<br />
dust.

Massetti Cup rugby<br />

<strong>The</strong> top four teams will be<br />
looking to stay out of trouble<br />
during round 10 of the Massetti<br />
Cup competition on Saturday.<br />
None of the top four teams<br />
play each other, which means<br />
the bottom four teams have a<br />
chance to upset the form guide.<br />
Linwood, Hornby and Northern<br />
all have a handy buffer on<br />
the remaining five teams, while<br />
Celebration will be looking<br />
to maintain their spot when<br />
they welcome seventh-placed<br />
Halswell to Cuthberts Green.<br />

CLUB DUTIES: Rameka Poihipi hopes to win the metro<br />
club title with Lincoln University before pushing his case<br />
for selection with Canterbury in the Mitre 10 Cup.<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />
RAMEKA POIHIPI became the<br />
latest Lincoln University player<br />
to turn out for the Crusaders<br />
after a surprise call-up to play<br />
the French Barbarians.<br />
Poihipi, 19, moved south to<br />
Christchurch last year after<br />
standout seasons playing at firstfive<br />
for Hamilton Boys’ High<br />
School in 2015 and 2016 which<br />
saw him heralded as one of the<br />
most promising players coming<br />
out of secondary school.<br />
“A big part of the decision was<br />
to be able to both study and play<br />
rugby . . . it’s obviously a really<br />
successful university that has<br />
had some great players come<br />
through,” said Poihipi.<br />
After playing predominantly<br />
at colts level for Lincoln University<br />
last year, he has stepped up<br />
this season and become a key<br />
component to the team winning<br />
the first round of the Hawkins<br />
Cup. Poihipi was also the leading<br />
scorer during the cup campaign<br />
with 122 points.<br />
That form saw him called<br />
into the Crusaders for a couple<br />
of training sessions where he<br />
made enough of an impression<br />
to make his debut at second-five<br />
for the team against the French<br />
Barbarians on <strong>June</strong> 15, before<br />
heading to Perth last week to<br />
play the Western Force.<br />
“I was really surprised . . . I’d<br />
been training with them for<br />
a couple of sessions and just<br />
win over Hornby, host cellardwellers<br />
Riccarton at Murphy<br />
Park. Papanui host Hornby at<br />
the Papanui Domain.<br />
Metro premier rugby<br />
University and Lincoln<br />
University will look to push<br />
their claims for contention in<br />
the metro rugby second round<br />
competition on Saturday.<br />
Both teams have a win and<br />
loss heading into week three<br />
in the compact section A. Topof-the-table<br />
Christchurch will<br />
look to keep their unbeaten run<br />
going against Sydenham, while<br />
Sumner will host New Brighton,<br />
with both teams desperate to<br />
find that winning feeling.<br />
In section B, high-flyers<br />
Marist will travel to Burnside;<br />
High School Old Boys host unbeaten<br />
Shirley and Linwood will<br />
welcome Belfast, eager to avoid<br />
the wooden spoon.<br />
CPL men’s hockey<br />
Seemingly unstoppable<br />
Harewood will face a stern challenge<br />
from Marist during round<br />
10 of the CPL competition on<br />
Saturday. Harewood have won<br />
all nine of their games so far<br />
and have an 11-point buffer on<br />
second-placed Carlton-Redcliffs.<br />
However, Marist can leapfrog<br />
their way to second if they upset<br />
the favourites.<br />
In other matches, Carlton<br />
Redcliffs will look to get past<br />
HSOB-Burnside, Southern United<br />
will look to maintain fourth<br />
place by repelling the challenge<br />
of Fendalton/Avon and University<br />
will host Hornby.<br />
assumed I was there to make<br />
up numbers, so I was really<br />
honoured when I found out I<br />
was going to be playing,” said<br />
Poihipi.<br />
“It was surreal. You see all<br />
these guys on TV and next<br />
minute you’re rubbing shoulders<br />
with them and being welcomed<br />
into their environment with<br />
open arms.”<br />
He will return to club rugby<br />
this weekend when Lincoln University<br />
play University at Ilam<br />
Fields in a repeat of last year’s<br />
club final.<br />
You only need to look 12<br />
month’s back from that club<br />
final to see the odds of Poihipi<br />
going onto bigger things are in<br />
his favour.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 2016 Lincoln University<br />
team that won the metro final<br />
against New Brighton consisted<br />
of a backline made up of<br />
Jordie Barrett, Caleb Makene,<br />
Jack Goodhue, Harrison<br />
Groundwater, Josh McKay, Brett<br />
Cameron and Ere Enari.<br />
Since then Barrett and<br />
Goodhue have both gone onto<br />
represent the All Blacks. McKay,<br />
Enari and Cameron have all<br />
played at Super Rugby level,<br />
while Makene and Groundwater<br />
have both played Mitre 10 Cup.<br />
Poihipi also has genetics<br />
on his side. His father – also<br />
Rameka Poihipi – played 61<br />
games at halfback for the Bay of<br />
Plenty Steamers between 1994<br />
and 2002.<br />
For now though, Poihipi says<br />
he’s remaining grounded with<br />
his eye on a club title before<br />
pushing his case for game time<br />
with Canterbury in the Mitre 10<br />
Cup.<br />
CPL women’s hockey<br />
Two mouth-watering games<br />
highlight the latest round of the<br />
CPL competition on Saturday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> top-of-the-table clash<br />
between Carlton Redcliffs and<br />
unbeaten HSOB/Burnside<br />
promises to be a treat, while<br />
fourth-placed Marist will play<br />
Harewood. Both matches have<br />
the possibility of drastically<br />
changing the complexion of<br />
the competition. H and B Avon<br />
will battle Southern United to<br />
avoid the wooden spoon while<br />
Hornby has the bye.<br />

on Monday when he was<br />
made its newest life member<br />
at its annual general meeting.<br />
Coffey has documented the<br />
rich history of rugby league in<br />
Canterbury and New Zealand<br />
as a journalist, historian and<br />
author. He covered rugby<br />
league, cricket and other sports<br />
for <strong>The</strong> Press for 44 years (1963-<br />
2007). Coffey was also a handy<br />
player himself and played in<br />
the 1971 Canterbury rugby<br />
league grand-final for Marist.<br />
and pits the five top qualifiers<br />
from the Mainland Premier<br />
League – Cashmere Technical,<br />
Coastal Spirit, Nomads,<br />
Ferrymead Bays and Nelson<br />
Suburbs – against the best from<br />

THE CHANCE to create history in a<br />
Moascar Cup challenge, and the potential<br />
continuation of this year’s fairy-tale<br />
story, headline the ninth round of the UC<br />
Championship.<br />
On Monday Shirley Boys’ High have<br />
a chance to secure the Moascar Cup for<br />
the first time in school history with a rare<br />
challenge against Nelson College.<br />
<strong>The</strong> challengers have won five of their<br />
last six UC Championship games with<br />
their only loss being to Christchurch<br />
Boys’ High 17-19.<br />
While SBHS may not be having one<br />
of the vintage seasons that saw them<br />
make back-to-back finals in 2015 and<br />
2016, they will face an anything but<br />
vintage Nelson College which have<br />
struggled with losses to Marlborough<br />
Boys’ College, Rangiora High and St<br />
Bede’s College. Nelson College will<br />
come into the clash on the back of a<br />
busy schedule at the annual quadrangular<br />
tournament where they went<br />
down to Wanganui Collegiate 13-19 on<br />
Monday before thrashing Wellington<br />
College 40-0 yesterday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> tournament was won by Christ’s<br />
College after they defeated Wanganui<br />
33-7 in the final yesterday. Meanwhile,<br />
Lincoln Combined are back on home<br />
turf when they look to continue their<br />
great run of form which has them<br />
Armstrong gets maiden<br />
formula three victory<br />
MARCUS ARMSTRONG continues<br />
to raise his profile as one of the world’s<br />
most talented up-and-coming open wheel<br />
drivers.<br />
Armstrong, 17, recorded three podium<br />
finishes, including a maiden victory at the<br />
weekend, to shoot to the top of the formula<br />
three European championship.<br />
<strong>The</strong> third stop of the championship<br />
took drivers to the Norisring street circuit<br />
in Nuremberg, Germany. Armstrong won<br />
the opening race of the weekend from<br />
pole to record his first win in the championship.<br />
He backed that up with a second place<br />
finish in race two which gave him the<br />
overall points lead in the championship.<br />
In race three, Armstrong led for the early<br />
part of the race but struggled for grip<br />
sitting third in the championship. On Saturday<br />
they face slow-starters St Andrew’s<br />
College. STAC have taken it up a gear<br />
in the last month to win four straight. If<br />
they are to make a late play-off run, a win<br />
is a must here with their final four games<br />
coming against CBHS, SBHS, Christ’s<br />
and St Bede’s.<br />

in the later stages which saw him fall to<br />

was to score as many points as possible.<br />
However, I didn’t expect to be on the<br />
podium here three times and to be taking<br />
the lead in the drivers’ standings,” said<br />
Armstrong.<br />
After nine races of the 30-race championship,<br />
Armstrong is on 101 points – one<br />
point ahead of British racer Dan Ticktum.<br />
<strong>The</strong> championship is a proven path to<br />
formula one – 2016 winner Lance Stoll<br />
now drives for Williams-Mercedes in<br />
formula one, while 2016 champion Lando<br />
Norris currently lead the formula two<br />
championship.<br />
<strong>The</strong> next three races in the championship<br />
are in Zandvoort Netherland from<br />
July 14-15.<br />

Don’t compromise<br />
your homes<br />
comfort!<br />
Simple ways to keep the<br />
winter power bills down<br />
<strong>The</strong> cold snaps mean higher power<br />
bills as we snuggle up in front of<br />
heating to keep warm but there are easy<br />
ways to lower your power bill without<br />
compromising on comfort, according to<br />
EECA Energywise.<br />
Technical expert Christian Hoerning<br />
says recent research* indicates there are<br />
still about 12 million incandescent light<br />
bulbs in New Zealand homes – which,<br />
if replaced with energy efficient bulbs<br />
would reduce household energy bills.<br />
“You can run an energy efficient<br />
television for the same price as one<br />
incandescent bulb – these bulbs are<br />
outdated technology. LEDs use up to 85%<br />
less energy than standard incandescent<br />
light bulbs for the same light output and<br />
each bulb you replace will cost you $20<br />
a year.”<br />
Mr Hoerning says the price of LED<br />
bulbs has dropped dramatically.<br />
“Look out for specials as low as $4 a<br />
bulb.”<br />
Hot water is another area where people<br />
can make serious savings, according<br />
to Mr Hoerning. He says the research,<br />
carried out by BRANZ, shows about 46%<br />
of houses surveyed had showers with<br />
high flow rates.<br />
“This isn’t about having a lousy shower.<br />
You get a very comfortable shower with a<br />
flow rate of 9 litres a minute. A family<br />
of three with a 12 litre per minute<br />
shower could save over $200 a<br />
year by reducing that to 9<br />
litres per minute.”<br />
If your shower fills<br />
a 10 litre bucket in<br />
less than a minute,<br />
it’s wasting water,<br />

NEW LISTINGS<br />
Mr Hoerning says. He advises inserting<br />
a low-cost shower flower restrictor or<br />
getting a new, efficient shower head.<br />
Other top tips:<br />
• Use cold washes - unless you have an<br />
especially dirty load. Modern washing<br />
machines and detergents clean well using<br />
cold water. A hot water wash can use 10<br />
times more electricity than a cold wash.<br />
• If you have a heated towel rail, only<br />
use it when needed. A heated towel rail<br />
left on 24/7 can cost you $170 per year<br />
to run. You can buy timers for towel rails<br />
that come on automatically at certain<br />
times of the day.<br />
• If you have a second fridge only to<br />
chill a few drinks, it could cost you $200 a<br />
year to run if it’s an old, inefficient model.<br />
Consider turning it off or getting rid of it.<br />

T<br />
he firs time I woke up with a cold nose in my brand<br />
new home, I wa shocked. How could this be? <strong>The</strong><br />
cool, calm, collected one and I had planned for our<br />
home to be we l insulated against Canterbury’s<br />
cold winters. Turns out, not we l enough. We’d<br />
even assured a we l-meaning friend we had ample<br />
insulation (yes, Duncan, you were right). I’ve worked out where we<br />
fe l short in hindsight. Our home was designed by highly respected<br />
Christchurch architect the late Peter Beaven, for a magic little<br />
Port Hi l site, where he planned to live in with his wife Lesley.<br />
Sadly Peter died before realising his plans. We bough them and<br />
employed Archology in Sydney, where we were living at the time, to<br />
prepare the construction drawings and specifications. Compared to<br />
Australia, the R values for insulation would have looked high. Our<br />
talented young builder, Sam McCarthy, would never have queried<br />
the levels because they were standard practice around town. So it<br />
wasn’t until we were living in the house and I consulted Council’s<br />
eco design advisor Julie Villard about how we could warm it up that<br />
we discovered, while we unwittingly thought we had exceeded New<br />
Zealand standard, we had merely met Code. And that ain’t going to<br />
cut it in our climate.<br />
Fortunately Julie had plenty of ideas on how we could improve<br />
the situation and we have easy access to our underfloor to top-up<br />
the insulation. Julie Vi lard, an architect from France, is on a mission<br />
to transform building best practice here and you can read abou the<br />
groundbreaking ideas she’s applied to her own brand new build on<br />
page 20.<br />
I’ve shared the highs and lows of building with the other home<br />
builders and renovators I interviewed and, like Diane (page 36), would<br />
relish doing it again. I wa struck by how a l the home owner said<br />
wha they most valued was the ability of their designer or builder to<br />
“rea ly listen” to their wants and needs. I was also impressed by how<br />
much Christchurch people love a good garage! We’ve got some ideas<br />
for some top of their class cars to complement yours on page 81 and<br />
how to quickly establish a lawn on page 72.<br />
We review a l the lates trends in everyone’s favourite room –<br />
the kitchen (page 48), and share an easy yet impressive recipe for<br />
entertaining friends in your fabulous new home on page 77.<br />
I hope Peter Beaven would be pleased with how the cool, calm,<br />
co lected one and I realised his dream. Go chase yours people!<br />
Gaynor<br />
Speaking to the NZ Institute of Architects about ‘bespoke<br />
architecture’ being a ‘minority pursuit’ not long before his death<br />
Peter said “I am going to try to prove that it’s possible to build<br />
modestly and cheaply with a little house for ourselves. It’s going to<br />
be sustainable and it’s going to be beautiful and it’s going to be just<br />
cheap – no more than an ordinary spec house. I’ l prove that it can<br />
be done, and it might be the las thing I prove.”<br />
