Women<br />
‘drugged<br />
and<br />
sexually<br />
assaulted’<br />
at city<br />
restaurant<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
TWO WOMEN say they were<br />
drugged and sexually assaulted<br />
at a central city restaurant.<br />
Police are waiting for forensic<br />
results and have spoken to “a<br />
number of people of interest,”<br />
said Detective Senior Sergeant<br />
Scott Anderson yesterday.<br />
He said the two women had<br />
laid complaints with the police<br />
last month.<br />
Detective Senior Sergeant<br />
Anderson said the women had<br />
been socialising and drinking<br />
at Mama Hooch in Colombo St,<br />
prior to being “taken to another<br />
location.”<br />
He would not disclose the<br />
location.<br />
But <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> has learned that<br />
it was at a restaurant which had<br />
closed for the evening.<br />
Detective Senior Sergeant<br />
Anderson said the two women<br />
knew each other.<br />
“Part of their complaint is that<br />
they were drugged,” he said.<br />
He said the offending was “at<br />
the higher end of the scale.”<br />
He wouldn’t be drawn<br />
on further details of the<br />
investigation, other than it was<br />
“ongoing.”<br />

A CANTERBURY University law<br />
student being investigated for a<br />
sexual assault has been allowed to<br />
go overseas on a study-related trip.<br />
Bu the university’s dean of<br />
law Ursula Cheer is refusing to<br />
discuss the matter.<br />
“I can’t comment<br />
about any<br />
of this because<br />
of confidentiality<br />
and privacy,” she<br />
told <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
yesterday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> has<br />
learned a female<br />
student has laid<br />
a complaint abou the accused<br />
being allowed to go on the trip.<br />
It is understood it is no the<br />
same person who has laid the<br />
sexual assault complain to the<br />
police.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> has been told it is a<br />
rape investigation.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> sent a number of questions<br />
to Canterbury University<br />
yesterday but none would be answered.<br />
Said Canterbury University<br />
spokeswoman Margaret Agnew:<br />
“UC cannot respond to allegations<br />
that are before the police.”<br />
She referred the questions<br />
back to Dr Cheer. Her phone was<br />
turned off.<br />

Megan gets over another hurdle<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> has been<br />
following the Hore<br />
family’s bid to get<br />
their daughter Megan<br />
to Disneyland Paris.<br />
Julia Evans reports on<br />
her last chemotherapy<br />
session<br />
TOMORROW will be a big day<br />
for Megan Hore.<br />
<strong>The</strong> plucky 18-year-old will<br />
finally be home after finishing<br />
her sixth and final round of<br />
chemotherapy at Christchurch<br />
Hospital, on Monday, to treat<br />
the bone cancer which she<br />
has been battling for the last<br />
year.<br />
“She’s finished her<br />
chemotherapy and is on hyper<br />
hydration for the rest of the week<br />
to flush it out, they’re saying<br />
we’ll be out of here on Friday,”<br />
Megan’s mother Marilyn said.<br />
When visited by <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> on<br />
Tuesday, Megan said physically<br />
she felt fine.<br />
“But mentally, I feel bleh.”<br />
Megan is the daughter of wellknown<br />
blind organist Richard<br />
Hore who busks at Countdown<br />
in the Bush Inn Centre to raise<br />
money to send her Disneyland<br />
Paris.<br />
<strong>The</strong> teenager has spent the majority<br />
of a year in the children’s<br />
haematology oncology centre at<br />
the hospital.<br />
“She’s holding up okay, but<br />
reality has really hit home. We’re<br />
finished treatment, now we’re<br />
into the recovery phase,” Mrs<br />
Hore said.<br />
Disney-fanatic Megan has<br />
GOOD<br />
SPIRITS:<br />
Blind organist<br />
Richard Hore’s<br />
daughter<br />
Megan<br />
finished her<br />
last round of<br />
chemotherapy<br />
on Monday.<br />
made a bucket list to go to every<br />
Disneyland theme park on the<br />
planet.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y were set to go to Disneyland<br />
Paris before Megan received<br />
her cancer diagnosis and they<br />
had to cancel their flights.<br />
Air New Zealand held the<br />
money and in <strong>23</strong> days the family<br />
is using it to go to Hong Kong<br />
Disneyland. Megan was only<br />
granted special leave from doctors<br />
to be out of the country for<br />
four days.<br />
Also on her bucket list is going<br />
to Oamaru to see penguins,<br />
Hanmer Springs to visit <strong>The</strong> Lolly<br />
Pot store to stock up on candy,<br />
having a functioning body and<br />
enrolling at Canterbury University<br />
to study English.<br />
“I missed out on university<br />
entrance by one credit,” Megan<br />
said. “I want to email them and<br />
say can you just let me in, I’ve<br />
had cancer.”<br />
When back from Asia,<br />
Megan will be back in hospital<br />
for testing to see if the<br />
treatment has done the trick.<br />
Megan will have to undergo<br />
scans and tests every three months<br />
to check for cancer for the next<br />
five years. If cells are found, her<br />
diagnosis will become terminal.<br />
<strong>The</strong> family are remaining<br />
positive.<br />
“We’re not ready to be a threecog<br />
unit, we’re better with four<br />
cogs,” Mrs Hore said.<br />
Mrs Hore said at this stage<br />
doctors had indicated it would<br />
be a “good result.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong>’s article on the cancer<br />
battle shared widely on social<br />
media, and a Givealittle page<br />
set up to help the family raise<br />
money, has been boosted to more<br />
than $10,000.<br />
Disney on Ice hosted the Hore<br />
family at a show at Horncastle<br />
Arena, as well as meeting Mickey<br />
Mouse.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Artist donates paintings<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
ARTIST Rangi Downes says he<br />
could paint Mickey Mouse in<br />
his sleep.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 77-year-old has painted<br />
the Disney icon more than 70<br />
times on a mission to brighten<br />
the lives of children suffering<br />
from cancer throughout the<br />
South Island.<br />
Now he is going to help blind<br />
organist Richard Hore and his<br />
family get to Disneyland Paris<br />
with daughter Megan, who is<br />
undergoing chemotherapy for<br />
cancer, by donating four paintings.<br />
“I was reading your article in<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> about Megan Hore and<br />
I knew I could help,” he said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> four paintings will be<br />
finished tomorrow.<br />
“I’ve even drawn up a couple<br />
of new ones that I’ve never<br />
painted before so it will be interesting<br />
to see how those turn<br />
out,” Downes said.<br />
Megan’s mother Marilyn Hore<br />
said the donation was “amazing”<br />
news for her Disney-fanatic<br />
daughter.<br />
It is planned three paintings<br />
will be auctioned off to raise<br />
money.<br />
TOP BLOKE: Redwood artist Rangi Downes with an example<br />
of the art work he will donate to the Hore family.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> has approached<br />
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern,<br />
former All Blacks great Richie<br />
McCaw and Commonwealth<br />
Games gold medal shot-putter<br />
Tom Walsh to sign them.<br />
Megan met Walsh following<br />
his Commonwealth Games win<br />
last year.<br />
“I absolutely fan-girled. I got<br />
to wear his medals and hold his<br />
shot put,” she said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> fourth painting will be<br />
kept by the Hore family.<br />
Downes said he wanted to<br />
help the family because he knew<br />
battling cancer was expensive.<br />
“It’s nice to be helping someone<br />
out who wants to live.”<br />
His art is hanging up in 51<br />
hospitals and doctors’ offices<br />
around the South Island.<br />
Chlorine out, UV in<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
ONE OF the city’s largest pump<br />
stations may be permanently free<br />
of chlorine by June.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council is expected to<br />
approve a $2.25 million ultraviolet<br />
light disinfection<br />
system for one of the<br />
city’s largest water<br />
supplies, Main Pumps<br />
station, at the south<br />
end of Colombo St.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> advantages of<br />
UV treatment is there<br />
are no taste and odour<br />
effects – we think we<br />
could have it installed<br />
at Main Pumps within<br />
10 to 12 months,’’ said<br />
city council water supply<br />
programme manager Helen<br />
Beaumont.<br />
<strong>The</strong> station takes water from<br />
six wells and feeds about 11<br />
per cent of the central zone,<br />
which provides water to about<br />
185,000 people. <strong>The</strong> city council<br />
is investigating bringing in UV<br />
treatment at “a number” of pump<br />
stations around the city, which<br />
can’t be secured otherwise.<br />
“We will not have a timeline<br />
for implementation until we have<br />
completed concept designs and<br />
estimated the costs for the plant<br />
required at each pump station,”<br />
Ms Beaumont said. A report is<br />
expected in October.<br />
Ms Beaumont said the city<br />
council has sufficient funds to<br />
complete the work that has been<br />
scoped for this financial year.<br />
“Further work needs<br />
to be done before we can<br />
provide the total costs<br />
for the longer term water<br />
supply improvement<br />
programme.”<br />
It comes as 10 pump<br />
stations around the city,<br />
which feed more than<br />
a quarter of the water<br />
supply, have become<br />
chlorine-free this<br />
Helen<br />
Beaumont<br />
month.<br />
<strong>The</strong> latest, Thompsons<br />
pump station, was stopped on<br />
Tuesday.<br />
But Ms Beaumont said it would<br />
only be possible during low water<br />
demand, such as winter, so water<br />
conservation would be needed<br />
through summer.<br />
Almost all of the city’s water<br />
supply was chlorinated in March<br />
after the city council voted for<br />
12 months of chlorination,<br />
while unsecure well heads were<br />
repaired in January.<br />
Ms Beaumont said the timeline<br />
was “challenging”, but it remains<br />
the target.<br />

Cases of animal abuse on the<br />
SPCA Canterbury is investigating a video shared<br />
on social media of what appears to be a cat being<br />
tortured and killed by teenagers. Sophie Cornish spoke<br />
to SPCA staff about how its investigations work<br />
EMACIATED animals, dogs<br />
being beaten and stabbed,<br />
illegal trapping and a lack of<br />
vet treatment for serious health<br />
issues.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se are the common issues<br />
faced by five SPCA Canterbury<br />
inspectors on a daily basis.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y cover an area that includes<br />
the city, North Canterbury<br />
to the Hurunui<br />
River, as well as<br />
Hanmer Springs<br />
across to the West<br />
Coast and as far<br />
south as Ashburton<br />
and the<br />
Rangitata River.<br />
Barry<br />
Helem<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are currently<br />
20 active<br />
investigations<br />
and “the cases are<br />
piling up,” says SPCA southern<br />
region general manager Barry<br />
Helem.<br />
One case was reported in<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> earlier this month, in<br />
which two youths were accused<br />
of torturing and killing a cat.<br />
Videos of the incident were put<br />
on social media then sent to<br />
SPCA Canterbury.<br />
While it may not have been a<br />
deliberate act, SPCA Canterbury<br />
is investigating and it could take<br />
three months or more for an<br />
outcome to be decided.<br />
Mr Helem believes posttraumatic<br />
stress disorder<br />
after the earthquakes and<br />
other mental health issues has<br />
resulted in an increase in calls<br />
to the SPCA. A spike in animal<br />
welfare complaints about three<br />
years after the earthquakes also<br />
correlated with what police and<br />
domestic violence groups like<br />
Women’s Refuge New Zealand<br />
experienced.<br />
“It’s about the three-year<br />
mark where we see these social<br />
concerns really come out in the<br />
community,” said Mr Helem.<br />
However, the number continues<br />
to increase. From 2016-2017,<br />
there was a 20 per cent increase<br />
in both the number of calls and<br />
the animals cared for at SPCA<br />
Canterbury.<br />
Its senior inspector Sam Cairns<br />
HELP: This horse was seized by the SPCA as he was unable<br />
to eat and in extreme pain and distress, His former owner<br />
has been prosecuted.<br />
said “mental health hoarding” is<br />
a growing problem.<br />
“It’s not unusual for people to<br />
have 200 rabbits in their backyard,<br />
it’s very common and very<br />
problematic . . . it’s really difficult<br />
because the people are suffering<br />
as well.”<br />
An investigation will usually<br />
begin with a phone call from a<br />
member of the public, which is<br />
then screened and vetted.<br />
Often staff will attend straight<br />
away and the unpredictability of<br />
the situation can be “quite fullon”<br />
for investigators, said Miss<br />
Cairns.<br />
“Initially, it’s like an ambulance<br />
scene. We will deal with the<br />
suffering first . . . we take care<br />
of the animal and its needs and<br />
mitigate all those problems.”<br />
Miss Cairns and other<br />
inspectors will then collate<br />
information to form a case.<br />
This may include interviewing<br />
witnesses, vet reports, lab and<br />
autopsy results and compiling<br />
•<strong>The</strong>re are 39 SPCA centres<br />
in NZ with 45,000 animals<br />
coming through the<br />
centres each year.<br />
•45,300 animals were<br />
helped by SPCA centres<br />
across the country last year.<br />
•About 15,500 animal<br />
welfare complaints are<br />
investigated by the SPCA<br />
annually.<br />
•<strong>The</strong>re are 77 warranted<br />
inspectors across the<br />
country.<br />
photos. <strong>The</strong> file will then go<br />
through an internal review<br />
system before a course of action<br />
can be taken.<br />
“Because we are using charity<br />
money, we don’t want to go<br />
to prosecution and not win it<br />
because it costs a lot,” said Mr<br />
Helem.<br />
“It’s pretty robust what we are<br />
putting forward. We have to be<br />
confident it is going to be a successful<br />
prosecution at the end of<br />
that,” said Miss Cairns.<br />
Both the SPCA and police can<br />
prosecute under the Animal<br />
Welfare Act 1999, and often work<br />
together, especially with violent<br />
offenders.<br />

“Often we will turn up and it<br />
is the same sort of clientele that<br />
the police deal with. We might<br />
do a background check or know<br />
from the caller that the person<br />
is violent. Sometimes we have<br />
no idea, it depends on a caseby-case<br />
basis,” said Miss Cairns.<br />
For the most part, Mr Helem<br />
says a large number of complaints<br />
result in verbal advice.<br />
Often education letters will<br />
be sent out, which include the<br />
Codes of Welfare under the<br />
Act.<br />
In more<br />

a formal warning can be issued<br />

animals cared for by<br />
the SPCA.<br />
Volunteers,<br />
donations and new<br />
owners are needed to<br />
help with the increasing<br />
workload.<br />
“We are really trying to build<br />
our foster parent programme<br />
. . . a sheltered environment<br />
is not safe for animals when<br />
their stress levels are up, their<br />
immune systems are compromised<br />
and they get sick easily.<br />

homes, the better.”<br />

FOR MORE than 17 months George<br />
has been waiting for a new family.<br />
Previously, he lived a life of abuse.<br />
George was kicked, punched,<br />
beaten with weapons, strangled and<br />
shot at with a BB gun.<br />
SPCA Canterbury senior inspector<br />
Sam Cairns said the<br />
abuse was “daily.”<br />
His owner Jade<br />
Noanoa pleaded<br />

of ill-treating an<br />
animal in the<br />
district court in<br />
June.<br />
He was sentenced<br />

ordered to pay reparations of about<br />
$3100.<br />
SPCA inspectors rescued George,<br />
took him to safety and gave him<br />
veterinary treatment.<br />
Now he is waiting to be adopted by<br />
a new family.<br />
Miss Cairns describes him as a<br />
“very sweet boy who loves to share<br />
food and tummy rubs.<br />
“He likes to assist in daily recycling<br />
like shredding paper, and loves to be<br />

Breathing life into the city’s oldest<br />
Heritage buildings<br />
around the city and<br />
Banks Peninsula<br />
are getting a new<br />
lease of life as<br />
the city council<br />
starts investigating<br />
potential uses. Julia<br />
Evans reports<br />
THE ROBERT McDougall Art<br />
Gallery will once again have<br />
work hanging on its walls as it<br />
gets a new lease of life.<br />
Plans to carry out further work<br />
on the gallery to make it weather<br />
tight, while exploring future<br />
uses, have been confirmed by the<br />
city council.<br />
It will investigate the option<br />
of carrying out further repair<br />
and strengthening work so the<br />
building can be leased for the<br />
display of art, decorative art and<br />
crafts and supporting activities.<br />
“We remain committed to<br />
making the most of this lovely<br />
gallery building tucked away<br />
in the Botanic Gardens,” city<br />
council citizens and community<br />
principal adviser Brent Smith<br />
said.<br />
It is part of a wider public<br />
call by the city council to seek<br />
future uses for heritage buildings<br />
around the city.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council has confirmed<br />
it is also investigating the<br />
potential use of the Old<br />
Municipal Chambers, Thomas<br />
Edmonds Band Rotunda and<br />
Thomas Edmonds Pavilion.<br />
It will explore the viability<br />
of short-listed expressions of<br />
interest for the buildings and<br />
carry out several investigations<br />
into possible future uses.<br />
“We are re-looking at one of<br />
the buildings, the Old Municipal<br />
Chambers, and plan to carry out<br />
a further (expression of interest)<br />
to collect additional information<br />
CURATE: <strong>The</strong> city council has committed to restoring<br />
the McDougall Art Gallery (left) in the Botanic Gardens.<br />
(Above) – <strong>The</strong> Old Municipal Chambers may be used as a<br />
tourist information centre as it was before the February 22,<br />
2011, earthquake.<br />
from interested parties,” Mr<br />
Smith said.<br />
“We are also investigating<br />
options to repair, strengthen and<br />
upgrade the building ourselves,<br />
so that we can potentially lease<br />
all, or part, of the site, or operate<br />
the building ourselves as we did<br />
pre-earthquake.”<br />
Mr Smith said the Thomas<br />
Edmonds Band Rotunda must<br />
be reconstructed and restored to<br />
function as a stage for musical<br />
performances.<br />
“When it comes to the<br />
pavilion, we hope that the use<br />
of the building will complement<br />
activities at the rotunda.”<br />

Thursday <strong>August</strong> <strong>23</strong> <strong>2018</strong> 9<br />
buildings<br />
WORK: <strong>The</strong> Thomas Edmonds band rotunda and pavilion<br />
will also be restored.<br />
Staff will report back to the city<br />
council with recommendations<br />
for each building before the end<br />
of the year.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council has completed<br />
a separate application process to<br />
explore funding and future use<br />
options for 13 heritage buildings.<br />
City council general manager<br />
citizens and community Mary<br />
Richard said Chokebore Lodge at<br />
Riccarton Racecourse, Penfold’s<br />
Cob Cottage, Little River Railway<br />
Goods Shed, Kapuatohe Dwelling<br />
and Kapuatohe Cottage in Belfast,<br />
Spreydon’s Coronation Hall, and<br />
Kukupa Hostel in Pigeon Bay<br />
have received funding in the Long<br />
Term Plan.<br />
“Chokebore Lodge will be for<br />
residential, Penfold’s Cob Cottage<br />
is being restored for education<br />
purposes. <strong>The</strong> Little River Railway<br />
Goods Shed will be restored<br />
as a storage shed,” she said.<br />
Ms Richardson said the future<br />
use of Kapuatohe Dwelling, Kapuatohe<br />
Cottage, Coronation Hall<br />
and Kukupa Hostel is yet to be<br />
determined.<br />
But the city council will be<br />
consulting on whether they will<br />
be for commercial or community<br />
use.<br />
Ms Richardson said the other<br />
heritage buildings, which did not<br />
yet have funding set aside, would<br />
continue to be cared for by the<br />
city council.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> other buildings will<br />
be maintained to stop further<br />
deterioration until funding is<br />
available in the Long Term Plan<br />
for restoration.”<br />

STOLEN URNS belonging to a<br />
widow were part of a $100,000<br />
antique haul seized in a police<br />
sting last week.<br />
Retired Woolston resident Jill<br />
Walker made a plea in <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
last month for the return of the<br />
copper urns that were restored<br />
by her late husband of 43 years,<br />
Barry Walker.<br />
Police executed a search warrant<br />
at an address on Aynsley<br />
Tce, St Martins,<br />
last week. A<br />
29-year-old-man<br />
and a 44-yearold<br />
woman were<br />
charged with<br />
burglary and<br />
Jill Walker receiving stolen<br />
property.<br />
On Tuesday, the two alleged<br />
offenders entered no plea in the<br />
district court and will appear<br />
again on September 11.<br />
Other items recovered include<br />
outdoor ornamental pots,<br />
statues, street lamps, wrought<br />
iron gates, and other antiques,<br />
police said.<br />
Detective Karen Simmons<br />
said the alleged burglars targeted<br />
antiques and the items<br />
were stolen around Beckenham,<br />
Opawa, Somerfield and<br />
Woolston.<br />
Said Detective Simmons: “To<br />
be able to return the urns to the<br />
victim and her family is absolutely<br />
wonderful.<br />
“We do still have a number<br />
of items that we haven’t identified<br />
an owner for, and we’d<br />
obviously like to get these back<br />
where they belong.”<br />
Mrs Walker said the copper<br />
urns were one of the few memories<br />
left of Mr Walker, who<br />
passed away nine years ago. She<br />
was delighted that the items<br />
were found.<br />
“It’s just wonderful news,”<br />
Mrs Walker said.<br />
She thanked everyone who<br />

RECOVERED: Above left –<br />
One of Jill Walker’s copper<br />
urns. Police are looking for<br />
the owners of the other<br />
items.<br />
sent in messages of support<br />
after her appeal for help.<br />
“I’m sure the newspaper article<br />
helped. When a lot of people<br />
know about it, it makes it hard<br />
to get rid of it doesn’t it?”<br />
Mrs Walker now plans to<br />
plant two camellia plants called<br />
‘donation’ in the urns because<br />
her husband was an organ<br />
donor.<br />
“Once they are full of dirt<br />
they will be much harder [to<br />
steal].”<br />
She will now make sure her<br />
courtyard gates are always<br />
locked and plans to install<br />
security cameras.<br />

‘Dad jokes’ keep traffic moving at school<br />
Caretaker’s<br />
humour solves<br />
parking woes<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
A QUIRKY initiative to keep<br />
traffic moving outside Mt<br />
Pleasant School has made a huge<br />
difference.<br />
Like many schools, there were<br />
parking issues at drop-off and<br />
pick-up times created by people<br />
leaving their vehicles and not<br />
parking correctly.<br />
So caretaker Simon Hillyer<br />
came up with a novel idea.<br />
He made humorous signs,<br />
laminated them and put them up<br />
on the 2min loading zone sign<br />
outside the school.<br />
<strong>The</strong> signs get rotated every<br />
week, with the Crusaders, Bart<br />
Simpson, <strong>Star</strong> Wars and Top Gun<br />
providing inspiration.<br />
Along with Mr Hillyer’s own<br />
dad-joke sensibilities.<br />
It’s a non-confrontational approach<br />
which seems to have hit<br />
the spot.<br />
School office manager Carolyn<br />
Wright said people eagerly<br />
awaited the next instalment.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> pressure’s on him now to<br />
come up with the new stuff,” she<br />
said.<br />
Last week the school bell<br />
played Highway to the Danger<br />
Zone to co-ordinate with the Top<br />
Gun-themed signs.<br />
Mr Hillyer said results had<br />
exceeded expectations.<br />

Simon Hillyer and some of his signs<br />

the middle of the crossing but<br />

9, with their funny traffic<br />
safety signs outside Mt<br />
Pleasant School.<br />
generally people are heaps better<br />
behaved than they were before,”<br />
he said.<br />
“It seems to have got the kids<br />
talking about it as well. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
don’t quite understand what<br />
the sign means sometimes, like<br />
the Bison dad joke, so they start<br />
chatting to mum or dad about<br />
it.”<br />
Where does he get his inspiration<br />
from?<br />
“I’ve got a fairly warped sense<br />
of humour. We just try and keep<br />
it fresh.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Yukon race winners return home<br />
Christchurch<br />
policewoman Wendy<br />
Riach and her<br />
partner, engineer<br />
Ian Huntsman, have<br />
returned from the<br />
Alaskan wilderness<br />
after completing –<br />
and winning – the<br />
Yukon 1000. It’s<br />
the world’s longest<br />
canoe race. <strong>The</strong><br />
couple tell reporter<br />
Sarla Donovan how<br />
they beat 20 other<br />
contenders<br />
Tell me about the Yukon – is<br />
it a fast-flowing river?<br />
<strong>The</strong> river usually flows at<br />
7km/h. However, this year it was<br />
at a very low flow. According<br />
to the locals, this was due to it<br />
being an inordinately cold early<br />
summer with much less snow<br />
melt than usual. We could tell<br />
after the first day of racing that<br />
our times were going to be slow<br />
in comparison to earlier years as<br />
the river was flowing 1-2km/h<br />
slower than in 2014 when we last<br />
raced. Unfortunately this meant<br />
no new race records for canoes<br />
or kayaks this year.<br />
Alaska has this legendary<br />
quality, a final-frontier<br />
mystique. How did it feel to be<br />
out there in the wilderness?<br />
It’s big, it seems infinite, there<br />
are very few roads, almost no<br />
sign of human occupation, it<br />
really does belong to the wild<br />
animals who live there. We felt<br />
like trespassers, we watched<br />
our step when we were ashore<br />
and attempted to leave no trace<br />
behind.<br />
Does it feel different to NZ?<br />
Unforgiving, bigger and the<br />
climate is different. <strong>The</strong> weather<br />
is completely unpredictable, the<br />
skies are very busy with active<br />
clouds, you can never tell when<br />
the next thunderstorm will be or<br />
when the sun will emerge and it<br />
will be instantly over 35 deg C.<br />
You were out for six days and<br />
WHITE NIGHTS: Ian Huntsman gets ready to make camp just before midnight on the<br />
fourth day. Huntsman and Wendy Riach only slept for about four hours each night during<br />
the Yukon 1000 race in Canada.<br />
14 hours – could you describe a<br />
typical day?<br />
<strong>The</strong> alarm in our tent goes off<br />
at 4am. It’s light outside but cold,<br />
like say 7.30am in Christchurch<br />
at the moment. It takes us an<br />
hour to pack up our sleeping<br />
bags and tent, cook porridge and<br />
hot chocolate, sort out our race<br />
food for 17-18 hours of paddling,<br />
put our paddling gear back on<br />
and launch the kayak. About<br />
20min later we eat porridge<br />
while sitting in the current of<br />
the river. <strong>The</strong>n it’s continuous<br />
paddling with a few 5min stops<br />
to eat heavy, fatty foods like<br />
salami and cheese. Salami was<br />
eaten in the morning, say about<br />
9am at our most sleepy time<br />
of the day. It has a sharp taste<br />
and keeps you awake. Cheese<br />
was eaten in the mid to late<br />
afternoon to keep paddling<br />
strength up until dinner time.<br />
To be competitive, we had to<br />
paddle each day until between<br />
10pm and 11pm each night. We<br />
found after the first day that we<br />
were too exhausted to cook and<br />
eat properly at 11pm so we made<br />
a decision to stop every night<br />
at around 8pm and go ashore<br />
for 15min to cook dinner. This<br />
was the only time we got out of<br />
the kayak during the 18-hour<br />
days. We boiled enough water<br />
VIEW: Wendy Riach looks<br />
out at the southern end of<br />
Lake Laberge on the first<br />
day of the race.<br />
for our dinner and another hot<br />
drink in the <strong>The</strong>rmos. Once<br />
our dehydrated Backcountry<br />
meals were prepared, we resealed<br />
the foil bags and jumped back<br />
into the kayak. We ate dinner<br />
sitting in the kayak with the<br />
current of the river still taking us<br />
forward. This cooking and eating<br />
method limited the amount<br />
of bear<br />
precautions<br />
we needed<br />
to complete<br />
when we<br />
finally came<br />
ashore at<br />
night. When<br />
we got<br />
ashore, we<br />
bear-proofed<br />
all our<br />
remaining<br />
food and<br />
rubbish,<br />
put up the<br />
tent, tended<br />
to blisters,<br />
trench foot<br />
and chafe<br />
with the first<br />
aid kit, and<br />
then went<br />
to sleep for<br />
between<br />
three hours<br />
Wendy Riach<br />
Ian Huntsman<br />
45min and four hours 15min per<br />
night. It was never dark enough<br />
at night to use a head torch. On<br />
our last night, the sun shone into<br />
our tent at 11.15pm and turned it<br />
into a sauna for a few minutes.<br />
Did you see any other people<br />
during the race?<br />
For the first nine hours, we<br />
were swapping leads with a very<br />
talented canoe called Team<br />

Paddling 1609km in six days, 14hr 55min<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
•From page 14<br />
<strong>The</strong>y were following us down a<br />
tricky section called the ‘30 mile’<br />
until they got stuck on a sandbar.<br />
We didn’t see them again until<br />
we welcomed them over the<br />
finish line. We had a great time<br />
catching up at the Yukon River<br />
Camp and later at Fairbanks<br />
with the other crews after they<br />
finished. For the remainder of<br />
the race we did not see anyone,<br />
except for a brief stop at the<br />
Alaskan border village of Eagle.<br />
How were the bears and bugs?<br />
We saw one brown bear<br />
(grizzly) just downstream of<br />
Dawson City early on our fourth<br />
day. <strong>The</strong> bear was very shy and<br />
was on an island in the river;<br />
he headed back into the forest<br />
when he saw us paddle by. Other<br />
animal highlights included<br />
seeing a lynx, lots of beaver and<br />
many moose with their calves as<br />
well as a rare wolverine on the<br />
last day. <strong>The</strong> bugs were largely<br />
insignificant, we were up too<br />
early and making camp too late<br />
for them to bother us.<br />
Do you get sore arms/hands –<br />
where did it hurt?<br />
We hadn’t recovered from<br />
racing the Yukon River Quest<br />
three weeks before. This had the<br />
unpleasant effect of our injuries<br />
from the earlier race resurfacing<br />
on days one and two, such as<br />
blisters on our hands. Inflamed<br />
tendon attachments, particularly<br />
in the hamstring area, were<br />
a real problem. We didn’t<br />
take any anti-inflammatory<br />
medications as our previous<br />
experience had proven these to<br />
be sleep-inducing. I think over<br />
the course of the race, Ian and I<br />
took two Panadol tablets each for<br />
pain relief. We used antiseptic,<br />
antibacterial, anti-fungal creams<br />
and barrier creams to keep<br />
general infections and trench<br />
foot at bay. At times we were in<br />
agony, but we were always able to<br />
change something, like swapping<br />
seat cushions, back rests, or foot<br />
rests to find a way of reducing<br />
or eliminating the cause of the<br />
injury.<br />
OVERNIGHT: Wendy Riach and Ian Huntsman make their last camp 200km from the<br />
finish in Alaska at 11.30pm.<br />
We also carried a variety of<br />
wrist braces which we used when<br />
our arms became fatigued. Ian<br />
also downsized his paddle blade<br />
to protect his wrists.<br />
Were there any ‘OMG!’<br />
moments?<br />
On day five, we spent two<br />
and a half hours paddling with<br />
less than 10m visibility due<br />
to wildfire smoke. <strong>The</strong>re was<br />
very little wind in the river at<br />
that point, we had seen the fire<br />
burning on the banks of the river<br />
but the smoke lay thick on the<br />
water for a lot further than we<br />
anticipated.<br />
It was rather frightening, as<br />
the smoke was thick and acrid<br />
and it seemed to go on forever.<br />
Eventually a strong wind came<br />
up and blew the smoke away and<br />
we popped out the other side.<br />
I think it was compulsory<br />
to stop and sleep for six<br />
hours – would you just pull<br />
up at a likely looking spot<br />
on the riverbank?<br />
We always looked forward to<br />
camping for the night, the sky<br />
would soften to a golden colour,<br />
the air temperature cooled down<br />
a bit and the wind was generally<br />
a bit calmer. It was a great time<br />
of the day. We would choose a<br />
spot (often on a small island)<br />
on sand or gravel at least 10m<br />
distant from any bush from<br />
which a bear might appear.<br />
We checked for animal<br />
tracks and scat as soon as we<br />
got ashore. We didn’t find<br />
fresh bear prints at any of our<br />
campsites and always had a<br />
good night sleep. We didn’t<br />
light any fires and went to sleep<br />
as soon as possible. We had a<br />
roomy lightweight tent that was<br />
completely bug-proof and had<br />
bear-spray cans in the tent with<br />
us as well as wearing bear bells<br />
when on land.<br />
<strong>The</strong> two of you must get along<br />
pretty well. What’s the secret?<br />
It takes a lot of energy to<br />
win an expedition race such as<br />
this one. We both had really<br />
low points due to injuries<br />
(luckily at different times)<br />
which recurred and sleepiness<br />
as a result of pain. Empathy<br />
and consideration are key<br />
elements coupled with absolute<br />
determination to win. Without<br />
that determination, it would<br />
be too easy to give in to the<br />
pain and discomfort. You also<br />
need almost flawless paddling<br />
technique to keep the paddle<br />
strokes ticking over at maximum<br />
efficiency without irreversibly<br />
damaging tendons and muscles.<br />
How did you celebrate the<br />
win?<br />
We hung out with the race<br />
organisers, Jon and Harry,<br />
at the Dalton Bridge and<br />
welcomed the next three kayaks<br />
and canoes across the finish<br />
line. We all stayed together<br />
and talked for days about our<br />
shared experiences. All are<br />
incredibly talented people<br />
and we have forged strong<br />
friendships through our shared<br />
experiences. I can’t think of a<br />
better way to celebrate.<br />
Can you describe your<br />
preparation?<br />
Planning and preparation<br />
took about nine months. Most<br />
of it was boring stuff such as<br />
booking leave from work, flights,<br />
accommodation, transfers<br />
etc. We hired our kayak many<br />
months in advance and fitted it<br />
out three days before the race<br />
with refurbished seats, footrests<br />
and backrests, most of which we<br />
had brought from New Zealand.<br />
Without our custom fit-out of<br />
the kayak, we simply would not<br />
have been able to finish the race.<br />
We took all our dehydrated<br />
meals from New Zealand as we<br />
believe Backcountry is the best.<br />
We took much more warm gear<br />
this time, as four years ago I<br />
suffered badly from extreme cold<br />
in the later stages of the race.<br />
That didn’t happen this year.<br />
We also packed more calories in<br />
our 18-hour race bags which we<br />
sourced from supermarkets in<br />
the Yukon. We ate about 4000<br />
calories per day each.<br />
I guess all your equipment is<br />
vital but was there any gear you<br />
couldn’t do without?<br />
Inflatable seat pads are the big<br />
winner. <strong>The</strong> seat pads protect<br />
your hamstrings and without<br />
these we would have been out of<br />
the race on day two.<br />
How did you get into these<br />
long-distance races?<br />
A race called the Wild<br />
Descent, which occurred in<br />
2013 and 2104, it was four days<br />
long and we raced the length<br />
of the Clutha River in double<br />
kayaks from Wanaka to the<br />
Catlins.<br />
What’s your next adventure?<br />
We are team kayakers for a<br />
multisport race at Queenstown<br />
this weekend called the Peak<br />
To Peak. Luckily the kayaking<br />
section is only about 7km long so<br />
we might just manage it.<br />

Hillmorton High School<br />
Inspiring academic<br />
excellence, leadership,<br />
and a love of learning<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
Diversity key<br />
to school’s<br />
character<br />
Kia ora koutou, talofa lava,<br />
warm greetings to you all.<br />
What makes each school unique?<br />
International Research (PISA) has<br />
shown that there is more difference<br />
in terms of academic results within<br />
schools, than across schools,<br />
and John Hattie’s<br />
research tells us that<br />
the largest predictor<br />
of academic success<br />
is the student and<br />
his/her family. This<br />
means that at a<br />
school level we must<br />
employ the very best<br />
teachers, as they also<br />
make a difference.<br />
We are fortunate<br />
at Hillmorton High<br />
School to have highly<br />
skilled teachers who<br />
are able to extend<br />
student learning, no<br />
Ann<br />
Brokenshire<br />
matter where the student’s current<br />
learning is at. If we had “added<br />
value” measures across schools<br />
rather than “league tables” I feel<br />
confident these would show that<br />
our students’ learning is indeed<br />
accelerated.<br />
So, what else about Hillmorton<br />
High School is unique? We are<br />
a diverse community in a good<br />
number of ways with enough<br />
difference to ensure students mix<br />
on a daily basis with students<br />
who come from very different<br />
backgrounds to their own.<br />
Hillmorton High School also has<br />
a large number of students with<br />
serious multiple disabilities. Most<br />
of these young people learn within<br />
our Upland Unit but many have<br />
one or two mainstream classes<br />
too. <strong>The</strong>y teach our<br />
students to be kind and<br />
gentle.<br />
What qualities and<br />
skills do our students<br />
develop when learning<br />
in this environment?<br />
We asked our senior<br />
council members this<br />
last year. <strong>The</strong>y told us<br />
that the most important<br />
quality they develop in<br />
our unique environment<br />
is “openness”. And in<br />
terms of skills? <strong>The</strong>ir<br />
interpersonal skills are<br />
outstanding. <strong>The</strong>se two<br />
things – having well developed<br />
interpersonal skills, and being open<br />
to learning from and with a range<br />
of people different to oneself – are<br />
what makes our students highly<br />
employable and very successful in<br />
their chosen futures.<br />
This is what makes Hillmorton High<br />
School unique. We are very proud<br />
of our students!<br />

Ardie Savea, Jack Goodhue and<br />

<strong>The</strong> AB’s were asked questions by<br />
HoD Physical Education Melissa<br />
Ruscoe — herself a former Black<br />
Fern and NZ Sevens team member<br />
— and it was great to hear some<br />
positive messages on a range of<br />
topics.<br />
During the assembly students were<br />
awarded various certificates and<br />
Isley Fakalata with Ardie Savea.<br />
then selected students were given<br />
some ball-handling tips from our All<br />
Blacks.<br />
Our congratulations to our<br />
awardees who have displayed a<br />
commitment to our school goals<br />
and giving of their personal best.<br />
Developing leadership skills<br />
Throughout school, there are many opportunities for<br />
leadership development.<br />
One that is now part of our calendar is the Limitless<br />
Conference, which focuses on developing young people<br />
in Year 10. Twelve of our students recently attended this<br />
conference, taking part in workshops and presentations<br />
over the three days it ran.<br />
<strong>The</strong> event, organised by Christchurch young person<br />
April McLennan, aims, the website states, “to empower<br />
students to hold greater confidence and awareness<br />
in their unique strengths, values and passions –<br />
understanding more of who they are and what they<br />
bring, and how this may translate to work with purpose<br />
that addresses some of the most significant challenges<br />
our communities and world face.”<br />
We look forward to our students walking tall and serving<br />
in leadership roles both at school and beyond.<br />
Pupils do well in tech contest<br />
Congratulations to the<br />
following students who<br />
recently achieved great results<br />
in the ICAS Digital Technology<br />
competition.<br />
ICAS runs competitions in<br />
a number of subjects each<br />
year in which thousands of<br />
Australian and New Zealand<br />
students take part.<br />
Gina Zonneveld, Khalid<br />
Johnson, Amos Lochhead and<br />
Kaylene Narayan all achieved<br />
Participation, while Diarna<br />
Morgan-Gardner, Noah Silich<br />
and Joshua Craig achieved Credit.<br />
In particular, we congratulate the<br />
following students for achieving<br />
Well done: Zoe Thomson, Allan Taylor<br />
and Jerry Tan.<br />
outstanding results: Zoe Thomson<br />
and Jerry Tan who both gained<br />
Distinction; and Allan Taylor who<br />
was awarded High Distinction.<br />
More Success: Pictured<br />
above are our inaugural<br />
Readers’ Cup team who<br />
recently pitted their literary<br />
knowledge against students<br />
from other schools at the<br />
competition held at the<br />
Upper Riccarton Library. <strong>The</strong><br />
competition was tough and<br />
our team was placed third.<br />

Ardern to launch<br />
suffrage anniversary<br />
PRIME Minister Jacinda<br />
Ardern will help launch<br />
celebrations of the 125th<br />
anniversary of women’s<br />
suffrage in New Zealand<br />
at a special event next<br />
month.<br />
Ms Ardern will be the<br />
keynote speaker at the<br />
event at the Isaac <strong>The</strong>atre<br />
Royal on September<br />
13, underlining the role<br />
of Christchurch as the<br />
birthplace of the suffrage<br />
movement.<br />
Kate Sheppard migrated<br />
to Christchurch from Liverpool<br />
in 1869. From here<br />
she was the leading figure<br />
in making New Zealand<br />
the first country where<br />
women had the right to<br />
vote in elections in 1893.<br />
Students from Christchurch<br />
schools will be able to<br />
take part in a question and<br />
answer session with Ms<br />
Ardern.<br />
Mayor Lianne Dalziel<br />
said: “It’s especially fitting<br />
to have the prime minister<br />
speaking at this event, inspiring<br />
the next generation<br />
Kate Sheppard<br />
of young female leaders in<br />
our city.”<br />
“We have such a strong<br />
history of female leaders<br />
– not only can we lay<br />
claim to being the home<br />
of Kate Sheppard as she<br />
spearheaded the suffrage<br />
campaign, Christchurch<br />
produced the first woman<br />
elected to Parliament in<br />
1933, Elizabeth McCombs,<br />
and the first Minister for<br />
Women’s Affairs, Dame<br />
Anne Hercus.”<br />
Jacinda Ardern<br />
It is the first of several<br />
events in September and<br />
October celebrating the<br />
anniversary of women’s<br />
suffrage in the city.<br />
Proceeds from ticket<br />
sales will go to the YWCA<br />

ARA INSTITUTE OF CANTERBURY<br />
Online course creates a<br />
pathway to health degrees<br />
If you’re considering a career in nursing,<br />
midwifery, osteopathy, human nutrition<br />
or health promotion, Ara Institute of<br />
Canterbury has a 15-week blended/online<br />
course starting soon that will prepare<br />
you to begin a health-related degree in<br />
February next year.<br />
<strong>The</strong> New Zealand Certificate in Study<br />
and Career Preparation (Level 4) helps<br />
individuals to meet the entry requirements<br />
for degrees at Ara and prepare for degreelevel<br />
study.<br />
<strong>The</strong> programme covers maths,<br />
chemistry, human and cell biology,<br />
microbial science and academic skills<br />
for study. It is designed as a pathway into<br />
Ara’s Bachelor of Nursing, Bachelor of<br />
Midwifery, Bachelor of Musculoskeletal<br />
Health and the Bachelor of Applied<br />
Science.<br />
Elizabeth Schmidt, manager of<br />
academic operations for Ara’s Department<br />
of Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health,<br />
says the programme can be studied<br />
anywhere “whether you’re in Picton,<br />

Opinion<br />
•If you want to ask Ms Dalziel a<br />
question, email mayor@ccc.govt.nz. Put<br />
Reader’s Question in the subject line<br />
I WAS walking through town<br />
the other day and a couple of<br />
workmen saw me approaching.<br />
“Here comes the mayor,” one<br />
said. “You’d better be working<br />
hard,” I replied with a smile.<br />
“We’re helping fix your city,”<br />
they said, so I stopped and<br />
thanked them.<br />
“So what are you doing about<br />
the chlorine in our water then,”<br />
was their question. I explained<br />
we would have been ordered<br />
to chlorinate the water if we<br />
hadn’t agreed to do so, and<br />
at that point, we would have<br />
lost control of all the decisionmaking<br />
from then on. But<br />
what are we doing and what<br />
about the water bottling plant<br />
at Belfast – what does that have<br />
to do with it?<br />
It’s interesting how little<br />
fact filters through social<br />
media channels these days. I<br />
explained that the city council<br />
Mayor<br />
Lianne Dalziel<br />
<strong>The</strong> straight shooters<br />
is putting chlorine in at the<br />
pump stations, so for the<br />
pumps where all the well-heads<br />
are above ground, or able to be<br />
isolated, no chlorine is going<br />
into the water supply at all. We<br />
are also planning to put UV<br />
treatment into the mix which<br />
will help.<br />
We then talked about the<br />
water bottling plant at Belfast.<br />
I explained it is Environment<br />
Canterbury that controls resource<br />
consents for water take,<br />
and in this particular case, an<br />
existing resource consent had<br />
been included when the property<br />
was bought.<br />
It was great to get direct feedback<br />
and to bust some myths<br />
at the same time. I thanked<br />
them for stopping me. You<br />
don’t often get to explain what’s<br />
really going on when the news<br />
media only allow for a 10sec<br />
sound-bite.<br />

Kia ora and welcome to this edition of the SYD<br />
Retail, Industry, Hospitality and Arts all come together<br />
in the Sydenham Quarter to support each other for the<br />
betterment of Sydenham. Sydenham has a proud history<br />
and is experiencing a wonderful renaissance, with new<br />
businesses and residential developments. SYDM Quarter<br />
is thrilled to welcome some awesome new businesses<br />
and invite you to check out their profiles on our website<br />
www.sydm.co.nz – be sure to pay them a visit next<br />
time you are in our neighbourhood!<br />
Last month we were delighted to host our first “Pay as<br />
You Feel” community dinner initiated by SYDM Quarter<br />
Engagement Coordinator, Ailey Ong.<br />
Food was provided for this event<br />
by local greengrocers, sustainable<br />
artisan producers and catering<br />
businesses, before it “became<br />
waste” and went to Canterbury<br />
landfills. This was a wonderful night<br />
of community togetherness and<br />
we are proud to have brought this<br />
to Sydenham. Proceeds from this<br />
night will be donated to Sydenham<br />
Heritage Trust<br />
who are endearing<br />
to re build on the<br />
Heritage site a<br />
SYDM Community<br />
venue and to<br />
house the old<br />
church relics and<br />
to conserve this<br />
part of Sydenham<br />
history.<br />
Grateful thanks to the volunteers from Canterbury and<br />
businesses who made this event so successful – Alan Wall,<br />
Briarlee Tutuaha, Jesse Stephens, Jazmine Cooper, Jacqui,<br />
Jennifer & Olivia Holanda, Kenny Abass, Teresa, William &<br />
Andrew Lindsay, Shane Victor, Marine Mathieu and Verna<br />
Curwood. Thanks also to our business support, generously<br />
provided by Raeward Fresh Harewood, Parsley and Sage<br />
Corporate and Private Catering and Mori Mori Izakaya<br />
Restaurant.<br />
SYDM Quarter’s next “Pay As You Feel” Dinner will be<br />
Hosted by Raeward Fresh Harewood, on Wednesday 29th<br />
<strong>August</strong>. Numbers will be limited, so make sure you book your<br />
place on our Facebook page @SYDM.QTR. Proceeds from this<br />
will go towards Sydenham Heritage Trust.<br />
Our <strong>August</strong> Networking<br />
was hosted by Manscape<br />
in Sandyford Street.<br />
This unique Grooming<br />
Salon even has a ‘Man<br />
Cave’ in which to wait<br />
for your appointment<br />
and, guys, it’s even set<br />
up so you can take your<br />
son or nephew in for a<br />
haircut at the same time<br />
as yours. Thank you<br />
so much to our hosts –<br />

Georgie and the talented<br />

SYDM Quarter holds<br />
a monthly networking<br />
event and in July, this was<br />
hosted at <strong>The</strong> Fermentist.<br />
In addition to our social<br />
networking, we were<br />
treated to delicious food<br />
platters provided by <strong>The</strong><br />
Fermentist with boutique<br />
beers and ciders for us to<br />
enjoy. Kirsten, Simon and<br />

Explorations and discovery in<br />
ADVeRTORIAL<br />
Fermentation<br />
M Quarter Newsletter!<br />
Up coming events coming up in Sydenham<br />
<strong>The</strong> Fermentist is a microbrewery, taproom and<br />
café in Sydenham.<br />
With beer at its roots and sustainability in its<br />
heart, the Fermentist team look at their place in<br />
the world a bit differently. <strong>The</strong>re’s no denying that<br />
making beer uses a lot of water and energy but<br />
<strong>The</strong> Fermentist is determined to use its resources<br />
more sustainably.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir mission is to bring people together<br />
over great beers and food, trying new things<br />
and discovering how they can make a positive<br />
environmental difference through the way they<br />
work.<br />
Living up to its name, <strong>The</strong> Fermentist is about<br />
explorations and discovery in fermentation. On<br />
tap you’ll find a core selection of beers, cider and<br />
kombucha, with additional seasonal beers being<br />
introduced.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s an easy-drinking Kiwi Pale Ale, made<br />
with Taiheke, Nelson Sauvin and Motueka hops - a<br />
great beer for all occasions. For something a little<br />
bit sour, try the Berliner Weisse - drink it as is, or<br />
with a shot of raspberry fruit syrup as they do in<br />
Berlin. <strong>The</strong>re’s also a Red Ale, an American amber<br />
ale style beer with a Kiwi twist, and a Dry Cider<br />
full of character, made from 100% New Zealand<br />
apple juice. <strong>The</strong> first seasonal beer has just been<br />
released on tap, an American Brown Ale, and in<br />
the fermenters two more seasonal beers are doing<br />
their business. A Czech Pilsner will be on tap early<br />
September and a dark larger mid-October.<br />
In the taproom you’ll find a flavoursome menu<br />
designed for sharing, using seasonal vegetables<br />
from their own brewery garden as well as kimchi,<br />
sauerkraut and fermented pickles. <strong>The</strong>y source<br />
seasonal food from local producers, and preserve<br />
and ferment as much as possible to limit food<br />
waste.<br />
To reduce their carbon footprint, <strong>The</strong> Fermentist<br />
use solar panels for a proportion of electricity<br />
usage and hot water heating. <strong>The</strong>y also compost<br />
waste, harvest rain water, and focus on recycling<br />
to reduce waste going to landfill. <strong>The</strong>y have<br />
sourced ethical products, such as staff uniforms<br />
and toilet paper. You might see <strong>The</strong> Fermentist’s<br />
electric hybrid making deliveries around town.<br />
Take a Fermentist brew home with you (and<br />
reduce packaging) by bringing in your own vessel<br />
to the fill your own taps, or purchase a reusable<br />
Fermentist glass 1 litre bottle.<br />
You can also find <strong>The</strong> Fermentist brews around<br />
town at Casa Publica, Coasters, <strong>The</strong> Carlton,<br />
<strong>The</strong> Bog, Pomeroy’s, Fox and Ferret Shirley, Fox<br />
and Ferret Riccarton, Tavern Harewood, Coalgate<br />
Tavern, South Bar at Christchurch Airport, and<br />
Amazonita.<br />
Visit <strong>The</strong> Fermentist at 380 Colombo Street,<br />
Sydenham, Christchurch.<br />
– in addition to our monthly networking events, we will have a<br />
TWO breakfast hosted by SYDM Quarter for businesses to meet<br />
develop a forum to address business condition issues. We have<br />
received a request from Dr Duncan Webb, he would like to also<br />
attend this Business breakfast series on the 27th <strong>August</strong>. <strong>The</strong><br />
next breakfast will be on 1st of October, <strong>2018</strong>. We hope that all<br />
businesses will see the value of this and will attend.<br />
– we are working on a concept to activate vacant land within<br />
Sydenham as an Artisan Corner. We are running a Facebook<br />
poll on Artisan Corner to gauge community support – please<br />
head to our Facebook page @SYDM.QTR to share your views<br />
and stay tuned for upcoming events!<br />
On September 1, <strong>2018</strong> we will be having a “community day” to<br />
view the “Artisan Corner” plan and Sydenham businesses will<br />
provide a fun filled day full of activities. <strong>The</strong> day will kick off<br />
at 9am to 10am with a Pay As You Feel “Gourmet food-box”,<br />
proceeds will go to Sydenham Heritage Trust.<br />
<strong>The</strong> drawing room will have workshops.<br />
Sydenham Heritage Trust will run short guided historical walks<br />
(1 hour) starting from 11am around a small part of Sydenham,<br />
paying homage to the past using photos and heritage “objects”<br />
as to what it look like then and what is in its places now.<br />
Great beers,<br />
great food<br />
We are all about explorations<br />
and discovery in fermentation,<br />
and we want to push ourselves and<br />
challenge perceptions about what this can mean.<br />
• Straightforward flavoursome menu • Right sized portions • Friendly staff<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are cafe’s and restaurant and retailers along Colombo<br />
Street. Plenty to see, visit and discover when you come. For<br />
more information and details please go to SYDM Quarter<br />

Develop a taste for<br />
tangy tamarillo<br />
• By Diana Noonan<br />
TAMARILLO are a<br />
favourite cool-season fruit,<br />
maturing from March or<br />
April, and well into winter.<br />
Depending on variety<br />
and pruning regimes,<br />
they will even continue<br />
to produce into early<br />
December.<br />
Three main varieties of<br />
tamarillo are now available.<br />
<strong>The</strong> reds, with their deep<br />
purple-red skin and darkred<br />
colouring around black<br />
seeds, are especially sought<br />
after for decorating dessert<br />
dishes.<br />
Amber varieties, with<br />
a golden skin tinged with<br />
a red blush, are said to be<br />
the sweetest tamarillos,<br />
although the fruit tends<br />
to be smaller than those<br />
of other varieties. Gold<br />
tamarillos are large and<br />
fleshy and are a little<br />
sweeter than the reds.<br />
<strong>The</strong> tamarillo is a<br />
subtropical plant that is<br />
frost-tender to -2 deg C.<br />
Grown under cover, they<br />
become susceptible to<br />
sclerotinia rot.<br />
This limits the areas<br />
where the trees can be<br />
planted although gardeners<br />
in marginal areas can<br />
hedge their bets by<br />
planting close to a heatretaining<br />
wall and under<br />
the eaves of a house with a<br />
sunny north-facing aspect.<br />
Tamarillo seriously<br />
resent wet feet so excellent<br />
drainage is essential.<br />
However, their shallow<br />
roots also render the trees<br />
susceptible to drought so<br />
moisture must be provided<br />
during summer.<br />
<strong>The</strong> key to knowing<br />
when to pick tamarillo is to<br />
be familiar with the variety<br />
you are growing and to<br />
FLAVOUR: A well-tended tamarillo tree will<br />
produce up to 20kg of fruit.<br />
pick when the entire fruit<br />
is the colour described on<br />
the growing label.<br />
If the stalk has begun to<br />
turn yellow, and is slightly<br />
loose where it meets the<br />
fruit, this is another sign of<br />
full ripeness.<br />
Picked at this stage, the<br />
fruit will keep for up to<br />
two weeks in a fridge or<br />
for a week in a bowl at<br />
room temperature. If you<br />
pick fruit when there is<br />
still a ring of green around<br />
the top (the stalk end),<br />
the fruit won’t ripen to<br />
sweetness and will remain<br />
acidic.<br />
Store tamarillo with<br />
other fruit, such as apples,<br />
to hasten ripening.<br />
Tamarillo (skinned) can<br />
be eaten raw as a dessert<br />
or with breakfast cereal,<br />
used in baking or to make<br />
relishes, chutneys and<br />
jams.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y can also be used to<br />
make salsa, can be grilled<br />
with garlic butter, and<br />
used as a sauce for grilled<br />
meats. <strong>The</strong> pulp (or the<br />
entire fruit, peeled) can be<br />
frozen.<br />
Easy peeling is achieved<br />
by placing the whole raw<br />
fruits in a bowl of boiling<br />
water.<br />
Rinse them in cold<br />
water, pierce with the tip of<br />
a sharp knife, and the skins<br />
will come away easily.<br />

Singapore return in<br />
premium economy<br />
• By Kate Preece<br />
THERE’S something<br />
nice about being able to<br />
jump a queue. It’s about as<br />
satisfying as seeing those<br />
bright orange ‘priority’<br />
labels being attached to<br />
your luggage.<br />
Singapore Airlines is<br />
bringing the A350-900<br />
to Christchurch from<br />
January and with it comes<br />
the chance to have all<br />
this and more – and we’re<br />
not even talking about<br />
business class.<br />
THe A350 has 24<br />
premium economy seats,<br />
set out in a 2-4-2 row<br />
configuration. On top of<br />
special treatment, you<br />
get a wider seat (49.5cm<br />
versus economy’s 46cm),<br />
can recline 10deg further<br />
back than in the 187<br />
economy seats, and have<br />
your own reading light at<br />
armrest level.<br />
When we tested out the<br />
A350, my favourite freebie<br />
was the noise-cancelling<br />
headphones. Ideal for<br />
night flights and listening<br />
to what dances across your<br />
34cm HD LCD screen. As<br />
for the PlayStation-esque<br />
controller that navigates<br />
the inflight KrisWorld<br />
entertainment system …<br />
you might want to ask<br />
for help from a nearby<br />
teenager.<br />
If you plan ahead,<br />
though, you can<br />
download the Singapore<br />
Airlines app, which will<br />
enable you to preview<br />
what programmes will be<br />
available on your flight,<br />
mark them as favourites<br />
and, once onboard, pair<br />
your own personal device<br />
and use this to jumpstart<br />
those movie credits.<br />
If you are tall, it will be<br />
easier for you to access the<br />
overhead compartments<br />
(the A350 is known for<br />
its high ceiling) and you<br />
will not feel hemmed in<br />
by your fellow passengers.<br />
Securing the front row<br />
of premium economy<br />
provides an impressive<br />
TECH: <strong>The</strong> A350’s high definition screen<br />
and entertainment system. You may need a<br />
teenager to guide you through it.<br />
MENU: Before you leave Singapore you can<br />
order your meal up to 24 hours before the flight.<br />
amount of leg room.<br />
For the more vertically<br />
challenged, the wider seat<br />
allows for catnapping –<br />
that’s snoozing in a curled<br />
up sort of fashion.<br />
<strong>The</strong> food and beverage<br />
lists are enticing and vary<br />
well to cater to a range of<br />
tastes.<br />
You can start the day<br />
with waffles for breakfast,<br />
or get into the mood with<br />
some dim sum. For the<br />
uber-organised, ‘premium<br />
economy book the cook’<br />
means you can lock in<br />
your main course up<br />
to 24 hours before your<br />
flight (note: not available<br />
ex-Christchurch, but<br />
certainly ex-Singapore).<br />
Whatever choices you<br />
make, you will soon<br />
discover the service is<br />
impeccable with this<br />
airline – rivalling our very<br />
own.<br />

Big finals weekend on<br />
UC showdown: Christ’s College v Chch Boys’ High<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
IN TERMS of secondary school<br />
sporting achievements it would<br />
be difficult to trump winning the<br />
Maadi Cup.<br />
However, Christ’s College<br />
first XV captain and lock Sam<br />
Darry says that will be the case<br />
if his side can defeat bitter rivals<br />
Christchurch Boys’ High School on<br />
Saturday.<br />
In March Darry was part of the<br />
Christ’s eight that won the Maadi<br />
Cup, the pinnacle of high school<br />
rowing. Now he will captain<br />
the first XV in their first UC<br />
Championship final appearance<br />
since 2001.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> way it’s come together<br />
playing Boys’ High, I honestly<br />
think it will be bigger. Rugby has<br />
always been my No 1 sport and to<br />
win in a final against Boys’ High<br />
at their home ground would be<br />
awesome,” said Darry.<br />
“At the same time, the Maadi<br />
victory was amazing because a lot<br />
of hard work goes into that for one<br />
race.” Christ’s last won the first XV<br />
competition in 1996 when it had a<br />
Saturday<br />
•UC Championship final:<br />

much different format. If they can<br />
break the 22-year drought, Darry<br />
will join an exclusive club of players<br />
who have won the competition and<br />
the Maadi Cup.<br />
Christ’s set up the dream final<br />
against CBHS after a nail-biting<br />
24-<strong>23</strong> semi-final win over St Bede’s<br />
College at Upper. For Darry, it was<br />
a case of getting the monkey off<br />
their back after stumbling at the<br />
semi-final stage last year and in<br />
2016.<br />
Now the attention is on CBHS.<br />
When the two sides met in May,<br />
Christ’s were defeated 16-32 on<br />
their home turf. “Once we lost,<br />
we wanted to get another crack at<br />
them because we don’t think we put<br />
our best foot forward in that game.<br />
But here we are – we get another<br />
chance so hopefully we can redeem<br />
ourselves.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> final will be Darry’s 52nd<br />
appearance for the first XV – he<br />
is the third Christ’s player in the<br />
last 20 years to play more than 50<br />
games. <strong>The</strong> others were Damian<br />
McKenzie and Carl Manu.<br />

Pat Smith Trophy – Keas success in threes<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
THE WORD brotherhood is<br />
commonly used to describe the<br />
culture inside sport teams with<br />
a strong bond.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Linwood Keas have taken<br />
a literal approach to their brotherhood<br />
this season. <strong>The</strong> premier<br />
squad features two sets of three<br />
brothers.<br />
For Paul, Matthew and Erwin<br />
Sauni, Sunday’s final against<br />
the Hornby Panthers won’t be<br />
new – they’ve won the big prize<br />
together previously.<br />
However, this year they are<br />
joined by Thoren, Jiordan and<br />
Domanyc Fidow-Kele. As if<br />
going for a premiership title<br />
with one set of a three brothers<br />
wasn’t rare enough.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Fidow-Keles come from a<br />
league and union background.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir father Tala Kele propped<br />
for Canterbury and Marist<br />
Albion in the 1980s and 1990s.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y grew up playing for Marist<br />
before switching to league in<br />
their teens.<br />
Thoren and Jiordan have<br />
played plenty of 13 and 15-<br />
man code games together, but<br />
it wasn’t until this year that<br />
18-year-old Domanyc completed<br />
the trio.<br />
“Growing up watching them<br />
play, I’ve always wanted to play<br />
Harewood, Carlton-Redcliffs chase hockey titles<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
THE HAREWOOD men and<br />
Carlton-Redcliffs women will<br />
be looking to add Canterbury<br />
premier hockey titles to their<br />
resumes on Saturday.<br />
Both teams have been dominant<br />
top qualifiers for their<br />
respective finals.<br />
Harewood will take on Marist<br />
BROTHERHOOD: Paul, Erwin and Matthew Sauni with<br />
Domanyc, Thoren and Jiordan Fidow-Kele. <strong>The</strong>y are<br />
literally part of the family culture at the Linwood Keas.<br />
alongside them. I finally got<br />
the opportunity this year, I was<br />
pretty proud to run out with<br />
them,” said Domanyc.<br />
For the Saunis, there is also<br />
that feeling of pride with them<br />
now in their third season together<br />
at the Keas.<br />
“It’s just a good feeling to<br />
make it here with my brothers.<br />
We grew up together and it’s<br />
good to still be together playing<br />
what we love,” said Matthew.<br />
Both sets of brothers admit<br />
they aren’t afraid to call each<br />
other out when criticism is due.<br />
in the final, while Carlton-<br />
Redcliffs will meet Harewood in<br />
their decider.<br />
<strong>The</strong> two top men’s sides have<br />
met twice this season with<br />
Marist winning 5-3 in June after<br />
Harewood took out the first<br />
encounter 4-3 in April.<br />
Harewood have been the<br />
dominant force in men’s hockey,<br />
winning the President’s Shield<br />
Perhaps it has even helped them<br />
to achieve what they have in the<br />
sport.<br />
“If it wasn’t for them, I<br />
wouldn’t have made it this far.<br />
I’ve got to give credit to them<br />
for the way they raised me and<br />
roughed me up,” said Erwin.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Fidow-Keles and Saunis<br />
say it’s not just their bond that<br />
has created the team’s family<br />
vibe. “This whole club itself is<br />
really family-orientated. A lot of<br />
the boys have their kids playing<br />
in the junior grade. I’m just glad<br />
to be a part of it,” said Jiordan.<br />
for topping the round-robin<br />
section five years in a row.<br />
Harewood coach Matt Ling<br />
said both teams are ruthless<br />
at penalty corner time which<br />
had contributed to some high<br />
scoring matches. He said striker<br />
Andrew Sherratt and midfielder<br />
Ryan Cocking will be key to the<br />
victory.<br />

• By Jacob Page<br />
THE LINWOOD Keas are<br />
aiming to become the first team<br />
since Eastern Suburbs in 1981<br />
to win three consecutive grandfinals.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Keas will go in to Sunday’s<br />
Pat Smith Trophy final against<br />
the Hornby Panthers at Rugby<br />
League Park as favourites on<br />
the verge of completing an<br />
undefeated season.<br />
Eastern achieved the threepeat<br />
in 1981 after Papanui<br />
dominated the 1970s by winning<br />
seven titles in eight years<br />
between 1971 and 1978.<br />
Hornby last won the title in<br />
2013.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Keas blitzed the Northern<br />
Bulldogs a fortnight ago to gwo<br />
straight through to the final.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Panthers have had to do<br />
it the hard way, winning their<br />
sudden-death semi-final 50-6 a<br />
fortnight ago, before travelling<br />
to Kaiapoi to beat the Bulldogs<br />
16-6.<br />
Panthers coach Jed Lawrie said<br />
his team would not be overcome<br />
by the occasion this time around<br />
and believed they were playing<br />
their best rugby league of the<br />
season.<br />
“I think we had our best<br />
attacking game of the season<br />
against Halswell and our best<br />
the right time, with midfielder<br />
and former Timaru product<br />
Andrew Ross leading the way in<br />
both attack and defence. After<br />
four seasons in the premier<br />
league it will be their first final.<br />
Marist coach Josh Kumbaroff<br />
said the team know they can<br />
beat the defending champions,<br />
having taken the Challenge<br />
Shield off them in their June<br />
defensive effort against the<br />
Bulldogs,” Lawrie said.<br />
He said James Baxendale’s<br />
versatility would be crucial,<br />
while in form winger Charlie<br />
Charlie would be an attacking<br />
threat.<br />
“We are a mature team this<br />
year,” Lawrie said. “In previous<br />
years, some of the younger<br />
guys have looked up to the<br />
experienced heads in the team,<br />
but this year we are all on the<br />
same level.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> Keas have won both<br />
encounters so far this year, 20-12<br />
in round one and a <strong>23</strong>-16 victory<br />
in round eight.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Keas have plenty of quality<br />
across the park. Play-maker<br />
Daniel Hartley is often the<br />
provider for attacking weapons<br />
like winger Ben Ilalio and frontrower<br />
Jiordan Fidow-Kele who<br />
each scored hat-tricks against the<br />
Hornets in their previous game.<br />
•<strong>The</strong> grand-final kicks off<br />
at 3pm after the women’s<br />
final between the Papanui<br />
Tigers and Linwood Keas<br />
at 1pm. Entry is $10 for<br />
adults with children<br />
under-16 free.<br />
•<strong>The</strong> Celebration Lions<br />
and Aranui Eagles will<br />
contest the Gore Cup at<br />
Wainoni Park on Saturday<br />

victory. “I’m picking there will<br />
be a lot of the match played in<br />
the mid-field because both team<br />
have very good attack units,” he<br />
said.<br />
Carlton-Redcliffs will go<br />
into their final as favourites<br />
after taking out the roundrobin<br />
competition in dominant<br />
fashion. <strong>The</strong>y lost just one of 12<br />
games during the round-robin.

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
Possibilities wide open in NRL play-off run-in<br />
WITH TWO rounds of the<br />
Telstra Premiership regular<br />
season to go, it’s technically<br />
possible for either the Warriors<br />
or Broncos to finish with the<br />
minor premiership or miss the<br />
top-eight altogether.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are still plenty of questions<br />
to be answered at the end<br />
of one of the closest NRL seasons<br />
in memory, with eight teams a<br />
mathematical chance of finishing<br />
the regular season on top.<br />
While the finishing order is still<br />
to be determined, the make-up<br />
of the finals contenders is more<br />
certain. <strong>The</strong> top-six now guaranteed<br />
to play finals football and the<br />
Wests Tigers the only side currently<br />
outside the eight that still<br />
has a chance of sneaking in.<br />
Brisbane did their chances of<br />
holding onto a play-off berth a<br />
world of good by beating South<br />
Sydney tonight, with the Warriors<br />
now in the most precarious<br />
position of the top half of the table<br />
with matches against Penrith<br />
and Canberra to come.<br />
Both those matches will be<br />
played in Auckland but neither<br />
will be easy wins – the Panthers<br />
are finals-bound and will be<br />
desperate to bounce back from a<br />
shock loss to Newcastle while the<br />
Raiders are fresh from knocking<br />
the Sydney Roosters off the top<br />
of the table. <strong>The</strong> Warriors’ home<br />
record is only the 11th best in the<br />
league this season, with five wins<br />
and five losses.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Broncos have a slight<br />
edge over the Warriors on forand-against<br />
and will finish their<br />
season with a home clash against<br />
the struggling Sea Eagles after<br />
this week’s blockbuster against<br />
the Roosters.<br />
Both the Warriors and Broncos<br />
can lock up a finals spot by winning<br />
either of their remaining<br />
games. Even if one of those sides<br />
lose both their games, the ninthplaced<br />
Tigers will need to beat<br />
the Sea Eagles and Rabbitohs and<br />
overturn a poor points differential<br />
(-44) to grab eighth spot.<br />
Meanwhile, at the foot of the<br />
ladder, the 15th-placed Eels will<br />
visit the 16th-placed Cowboys<br />
on Friday night, with a wooden<br />
spoon potentially up for grabs in<br />
what will be Johnathan Thurston’s<br />
final home game for North<br />
Queensland.<br />

SKY HAS completely lost<br />
the plot with its recently<br />

eSports, an abbreviation<br />

of the sport are facilitated<br />

If you think this is about<br />

eSports doesn’t belong on Sky<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
PETER FULTON could<br />
be a dark horse to succeed<br />
Gary Stead as Canterbury<br />
Cricket’s head coach.<br />
Current assistant Brendon<br />
Donkers has been<br />
tipped as the front-runner<br />
to take the helm for Canterbury<br />
this summer. However,<br />
Fulton – Canterbury’s<br />
all-time leader in matches,<br />
runs, catches and matches<br />
as captain – has stated he<br />
will apply for the position<br />
if and when it is advertised.<br />
“If it came up I would.<br />
I’ve got aspirations to<br />
coach at a high level. If it<br />
came up and you didn’t apply<br />
then it might be quite<br />
a while until it came up<br />
again,” said Fulton.<br />
Since pulling the stumps<br />
on his player career at<br />
the end of the 2016/2017<br />
summer Fulton has begun<br />
a pathway to coaching.<br />
Fulton was the batting<br />
coach for the New Zealand<br />
under-19 team and has<br />
been part of the coaching<br />
staff with New Zealand<br />
Cricket’s winter training<br />
squad over the past two<br />
years.<br />
He is also the coach of<br />
Christ’s College’s first XI<br />
and has spent four years<br />
coaching rugby over the<br />
winter with Christchurch<br />
Football Club’s premier<br />
reserve side.<br />
Does market research<br />
still exist?<br />
<strong>The</strong> place of eSport on<br />
Sky reminds me of when<br />
Coliseum Sports Media<br />
outbid Sky for the rights to<br />
the PGA Tour in 2014. This<br />
meant golf fans would have<br />
to subscribe to an online<br />
streaming service.<br />
Let’s do some market research.<br />
To me your average<br />
PGA Tour consumer is a lot<br />
of dads I know who get up<br />
on Sunday, sit on the couch<br />
and enjoy the third round<br />
with the simple click of the<br />
TV remote likely over a<br />
coffee.<br />
Let’s face it he was<br />
never going to whip out<br />
the laptop, login and then<br />
hook up the HDMI cable<br />
to the flat screen. Yes that’s<br />
not the case with everyone<br />
but it’s why the concept<br />
DARK HORSE: Peter<br />
Fulton (right) has<br />
stated he is keen to<br />
succeed Gary Stead<br />
as Canterbury’s head<br />
coach. <br />
Whether or not Canterbury<br />
Cricket think Fulton<br />
could be the man for the<br />
top job is another question.<br />
Current assistant coach<br />
Donkers will see moving<br />
to the head role as the next<br />
logical progression is his<br />
coaching career.<br />
“If Canterbury Cricket<br />
or the Canterbury Cricket<br />
board thought I was the<br />
best person lead the team<br />
forward then it would be<br />
a privilege to be the head<br />
coach . . . if they don’t<br />
think I’m the best person<br />
then so be it. It has to be<br />
what’s best for the team,”<br />
said Donkers.<br />
Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi<br />
bombed and whoever<br />
thought it wasn’t always<br />
going to probably shouldn’t<br />
be involved in a marketing<br />
or television role. It’s also<br />
worth noting this was in<br />
2014 – pre the fibre roll out<br />
for many.<br />
To me Sky’s new GINX<br />
Esports channel is a replica<br />
of what happened in 2014,<br />
just flipped in reverse.<br />
It’s place on mainstream<br />
TV just means that dad’s<br />
pimply-faced teenager is<br />
only going to be hogging<br />
the remote, denying him of<br />
watching Tiger, so they can<br />
watch a computer whiz in a<br />

Canterbury Cricket also<br />
has current performance<br />
squad coach Dion Ebrahim<br />
– another highly-touted<br />
coach – who could take a<br />
step forward with Stead’s<br />
departure.<br />
But, with a person of<br />
Fulton’s pedigree keen to<br />
give back to Canterbury<br />
Cricket in a coaching<br />
capacity it would surely<br />
make sense to have him<br />
involved somewhere in the<br />
equation.<br />
Donkers – who is seen by<br />
many as the favourite for<br />
the head coaching role –<br />
has no issue in heaping on<br />
Fulton’s credentials.<br />
“I’m sure he would make<br />
a great coach. Tactically<br />
he’s very good and he has<br />
a lot of respect from the<br />
players,’’ said Donkers.<br />
<strong>The</strong> biggest question<br />
could be around how Canterbury<br />
Cricket structures<br />
itself going forward. Stead<br />
took on a heavy workload<br />
as both director of cricket<br />
and head coach. Would<br />
it be possible to accommodate<br />
positions of prominence<br />
for Fulton, Donkers<br />
and Ebrahim?<br />
“Whether we could work<br />
together as a head coach<br />
and assistant coach I don’t<br />
know. I’ve got no prior<br />
knowledge to make an<br />
accurate comment,” said<br />
Donkers.<br />

AUCTION<br />
Redcliffs: 19 Glenstrae Road<br />
My elderly vendors are very serious<br />
sellers. <strong>The</strong>y have already vacated and<br />
their future is hanging in the balance,<br />
reliant on the sale of their home either<br />
before or at auction. At 94 and 81 they<br />
have had enough. After the trauma of<br />
the quakes and a substantial repair, they<br />
wish to move to the comfort of a<br />
retirement village. Located on the<br />
lower slopes of Glenstrae Road, this is<br />
an awesome home with views to enjoy<br />
day in and day out. I invite you to our<br />
open homes, or view by appointment.<br />

What to ask at an open home<br />
It’s easy to get carried away when you’re searching through<br />
property listings for the house of your dreams. But if you’re not<br />
careful, home buying can become a nightmare.<br />
“Buying a property is a complex and<br />
potentially stressful process, not least<br />
because it involves such a scary amount<br />
of money,” says Kevin Lampen-Smith,<br />
chief executive at the Real Estate Agents<br />
Authority (REAA).<br />
“It’s smart to do as much as you can to<br />
reduce the risk of unwelcome surprises or<br />
unexpected costs further down the line.”<br />
In the first instance, Lampen-Smith<br />
recommends drawing up a list of questions<br />
to ask about properties you’re interested in.<br />
“Remember that you can ask the real estate<br />
agent anything you like about the property,”<br />
he says. “<strong>The</strong>y are also required to tell you<br />
everything they know and not withhold any<br />
details.”<br />
If you’re not sure what to ask, here’s a handy<br />
list of questions. Open homes can be busy,<br />
so ask the agent if you can talk on the phone,<br />
or send questions via email.<br />
- Have there been any issues with the<br />
property, such as earthquake damage or<br />
water-tightness?<br />
- Are there any offers on the property,<br />
or have any contracts been cancelled by<br />
potential buyers?<br />
- How long has it been on the market?<br />
What is the seller’s preferred settlement<br />
date?<br />
- What maintenance, repairs or<br />
improvements have been carried out? Do<br />
these have permits?<br />
- Is there a Land Information<br />
Memorandum (LIM) available or a building<br />
SALE BY DEADLINES CLOSING<br />
report prepared by an accredited property<br />
surveyor?<br />
- Is the property well-maintained? What<br />
condition are the roof, piles, wiring, and<br />
plumbing in?<br />
- Is the property insulated? If so, to what<br />
degree (eg walls, underfloor, ceiling)?<br />
- Is there any risk of methamphetamine<br />
(P) contamination?<br />
- If there is a body corporate (usually for<br />
apartments), what does that entail?<br />
- Are there any issues with neighbours or<br />
planned developments?<br />
“If you are seriously considering making an<br />
offer, you will need to do your own research<br />
and seek professional advice. It may well<br />
