Donation presented to surf<br />

club 45 years after rescue<br />

• By Sophie Cornish<br />

FORTY-FIVE YEARS ago<br />

Leonie Dunstan was rescued by<br />

surf life savers from a potential<br />

deadly rip at Waimairi Beach.<br />

Now she and husband Bruce,<br />

who was also in the water on that<br />

hot December 1973 day, have<br />

paid the club back.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Dunstans, now in their<br />

70s, have donated $2000 to the<br />

Waimairi Beach Surf Life Saving<br />

Club. <strong>The</strong>y gave a smaller donation<br />

to the club in the days after<br />

the rescue.<br />

“We are thinking about our<br />

wills and are in a position to<br />

recognise some organisations we<br />

have been part of over the years<br />

or who have helped us in some<br />

way. So, we were able to make a<br />

more significant donation,” said<br />

Mr Dunstan.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Dunstans remember the<br />

day vividly.<br />

Mr Dunstan managed to get<br />

out of the rip and got to shore.<br />

“I looked back and Leonie<br />

was going further out with her<br />

arm up in the air, signalling difficulty,”<br />

he said this week.<br />

Said Mrs Dunstan: “I felt like<br />

I was in a tumble-dryer. Being<br />

so short, I couldn’t touch the<br />

ground. I came up for air once,<br />

and then I went under again.<br />

It was like being in a washing<br />

machine.”<br />

Mr Dunstan said he knew he<br />

had to get help.<br />

“I knew I wasn’t the person to<br />

PLUCKY CANCER sufferer<br />

Megan Hore is still in remission.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 19-year-old daughter<br />

of well-known blind organist<br />

Richard Hore was declared<br />

cancer-free in October after battling<br />

bone cancer for more than<br />

a year.<br />

A trip to the specialist on<br />

Tuesday revealed she is still in<br />

remission.<br />

Megan has to go back to hospital<br />

every three months for the<br />

next five years to test for cancer<br />

GIVING BACK: Leonie and Bruce Dunstan were caught in a rip at Waimairi Beach<br />

in 1973 and Mrs Dunstan had to be rescued. Now, they have donated $2000 to the<br />

her diagnosis will become<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> has been following<br />

Megan’s progress and helped<br />

her fundraising efforts to get to<br />

Disneyland Paris, which is part<br />

of her bucket list to go to all the<br />

rescue her because she was a better<br />

swimmer than me, so I ran up the<br />

beach, calling for help . . . it was the<br />

best beach sprint of my life!”<br />

Two lifeguards went out and<br />

rescued Mrs Dunstan, using a<br />

flotation device.<br />

Said Mrs Dunstan: “We lay on<br />

the beach for a few hours, reflecting<br />

on our close call. As parents<br />

of young kids you think ‘gee, that<br />

would of been awful.’ We don’t<br />

often talk about it, but I feel quite<br />

emotional talking about it now.’’<br />

<strong>The</strong> day was a busy one for<br />

lifeguards – about 30 people were<br />

rescued from the rip.<br />

Surf club president Mike Litten<br />

Disney parks around the world.<br />

Her mother Marilyn Hore<br />

said the family had been very<br />

nervous before going to the<br />

hospital.<br />

“But I was working on the fact<br />

that no news was good news,”<br />

she said.<br />

said the donation was fantastic.<br />

“Luckily, it was quite timely.<br />

We needed these new radios,<br />

which are about $1000 each.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y are on a special frequency<br />

and are used all the time on different<br />

areas of the beach.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> donation was “really<br />

pleasing and humbling.”<br />

in brief<br />

Demolition under way<br />

on remaining stands<br />

Work has started on removing<br />

the last two stands at Lancaster<br />

Park, which will take 10 to 12<br />

months. <strong>The</strong> demolition was<br />

expected to cost $20 million,<br />

but is now forecast to cost $12<br />

million with two per cent of<br />

the rubble expected to go to<br />

landfill.<br />

A new electrothermal weed<br />

Community<br />

service for<br />

‘drown him’<br />

offender<br />

• By Sophie Cornish<br />

SEVENTY HOURS of community<br />

service will be carried out by one<br />

of the offenders found guilty in<br />

the highly-publicised Rolleston<br />

“drown him” case.<br />

Judge Stephen O’Driscoll approved<br />

a plan for one offender’s<br />

punishment on Tuesday, which<br />

was formed at a family group<br />

conference.<br />

In December, following a twoday<br />

Youth Court hearing, two<br />

17-year-olds were found guilty of<br />

assault with intent to injure.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y were 16 at the time of<br />

the attack, in November 2016,<br />

where the 16-year-old victim was<br />

confronted by a group of youths in<br />

Tennyson St, Rolleston, after the<br />

annual fireworks event.<br />

It was alleged the victim was<br />

assaulted and pushed into a water<br />

race, where he had his head held<br />

under water while other youths<br />

yelled “drown him.”<br />

At the sentencing on Tuesday,<br />

the other offender was remanded<br />

on bail and will reappear before<br />

Judge O’Driscoll on March 5.<br />

An agreement over punishment<br />

was not reached at the family<br />

group conference.<br />

Robber takes off with bike<br />

Bryson was told he could no<br />

months ago because his heart<br />

he decided to save up for a<br />

Centaurus Rd, Huntsbury, by<br />

the shopping area. He got off the<br />

bike and started walking with it.<br />

Moments later a man armed<br />

with a red-handled kitchen knife<br />

ran up behind him, grabbed the<br />

back wheel and said: “Give me<br />

your f**king bike, boy.”<br />

Said Sam: “I was really<br />

shocked and frightened. I put<br />

my hands up behind my head.”<br />

Sam ran to a nearby house<br />

for help, and the police were<br />

called.<br />

<strong>The</strong> robber, described as Polynesian<br />

in his late 20s, rode off on<br />

the bike, but the damaged gears<br />

ripped through the spokes of the<br />

back wheel, Sam said.<br />

Anyone who can identify the man in this photo or who has information about the<br />

robbery can phone Constable Royden Van Dyk at Christchurch South Police Station on<br />

People’s Choice targets water vote<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

LABOUR-ALIGNED People’s<br />

Choice is plotting how to<br />

dominate the local body elections<br />

by getting the water vote.<br />

An internal People’s Choice<br />

document obtained by <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />

shows the way to win votes is<br />

addressing<br />

chlorination<br />

in the water.<br />

It was the biggest<br />

concern<br />

for about 33<br />

per cent of<br />

respondents.<br />

Jamie Gough<br />

Bronwyn<br />

Hayward<br />

It was then<br />

followed by<br />

roads and<br />

footpaths with<br />

22 per cent,<br />

rates rises<br />

with 19 per<br />

cent, public<br />

transport<br />

with 10 per<br />

cent and the<br />

environment<br />

with 8 per<br />

cent.<br />

People’s Choice wants to win as<br />

many seats as it can around the<br />

city council and Environment<br />

Canterbury tables in October’s<br />

local body election. <strong>The</strong> survey<br />

would help form the basis of that<br />

ISSUES: A People’s Choice survey revealed the city’s<br />

drinking water was the biggest concern voters in the<br />

upcoming October local body election.<br />

campaign.<br />

Of the 16 city councillors<br />

seven, Yani Johanson, Phil Clearwater,<br />

Glen Livingstone, Anne<br />

Galloway, Jimmy Chen, Pauline<br />

Cotter and Deputy Mayor Andrew<br />

Turner, are part of People’s<br />

Choice.<br />

On ECan, its chairman Steve<br />

Lowndes and councillors Cynthia<br />

Roberts and Lan Pham run<br />

under People’s Choice.<br />

People’s Choice chairman Keir<br />

Leslie and Cr Turner would not<br />

discuss the survey as it was an<br />

internal party document.<br />

High-profile city councillor<br />

Jamie Gough, who runs under<br />

the centre-right, pro-business<br />

group Independent Citizens,<br />

said it was “good” the survey<br />

highlighted issues Christchurch<br />

residents cared about.<br />

But he said the group’s politics<br />

was based on caucusing and its<br />

decision-making came from<br />

Wellington, not Christchurch.<br />

“That sort of governance can be<br />

quite damaging,”<br />

Cr Gough is considering<br />

challenging Lianne Dalziel for<br />

mayoralty and wants more commercial<br />

understanding and focus<br />

around the council table.<br />

“What I’ve always been proud<br />

about through Independent<br />

Citizens is they’ll never tell me<br />

how to vote,” Cr Gough said.<br />

<strong>The</strong> biggest issue with People’s<br />

Choice is its block voting, he said.<br />

“A good example where they<br />

block voted was to refuse to<br />

consider revaluing our assets,” Cr<br />

Gough said.<br />

“It’s damaging to Christchurch<br />

if not negligent to makes those<br />

sorts of calls for ideological<br />

reasons.”<br />

However, Mr Leslie said while<br />

all People’s Choice candidates had<br />

the same values, they all had separate<br />

ways of dealing with issues.<br />

“All our councillors take an independent<br />

approach. <strong>The</strong>y don’t<br />

all sing in unison, but they have<br />

the same values.”<br />

Political scientist Bronwyn<br />

Hayward said it was a “fairly<br />

standard” political survey used<br />

during campaigns.<br />

Dr Hayward said voters cared a<br />

lot less about political leaning in<br />

local government.<br />

“Often voters don’t care, if<br />

you’re doing a good job, listening<br />

FAST FACTS<br />

•Drinking water was the<br />

biggest concern for 33 per<br />

cent of voters, roads and<br />

footpaths had 22 per cent<br />

and rates rises were 19 per<br />

cent.<br />

•About 44 per cent of<br />

people think the city is on<br />

the right track, while 36<br />

per cent feel it is on the<br />

wrong track and 20 per<br />

cent remain unsure.<br />

•About 26 per cent of<br />

people thought their local<br />

area was going in the<br />

wrong direction, while<br />

56 per cent thought their<br />

local area was on the right<br />

track. Another 18 per cent<br />

were unsure.<br />

•Of the two major parties,<br />

44 per cent said they<br />

voted Labour and 34 per<br />

cent voted National.<br />

to them and your heart is in the<br />

right place, they’re less likely to<br />

care about your political standing,”<br />

she said.<br />

People’s Choice is currently<br />

looking for expressions<br />

for interest from potential<br />

candidates, which are expected to<br />

be finalised by the end of April.<br />

Drink driving excuses and why they<br />

A United States woman<br />

who said she failed<br />

a drink driving test<br />

because she had been<br />

nibbling on her coat<br />

went viral last month.<br />

So what excuses do<br />

Canterbury motorists<br />

use? Sophie Cornish<br />

reports<br />

EXCUSES, DENIAL, “I’ve only<br />

had a couple” and “go do some<br />

real policing.”<br />

After three years on the team<br />

which targets<br />

alcohol and<br />

drug impaired<br />

drivers,<br />

Sergeant Stu<br />

Martindale has<br />

heard it all.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> most<br />

Stu<br />

Martindale<br />

common thing<br />

we hear is: ‘I’ve<br />

only had two<br />

drinks,’ and<br />

we always ask: ‘How big were<br />

the drinks? Were they crates or<br />

kegs?’” he says.<br />

It’s an age-old classic veteran<br />

Sergeant Colin Stewart has also<br />

heard many times.<br />

“You have to think, were they<br />

drinking out of buckets?” he said.<br />

Another excuse when police<br />

smell alcohol from a driver’s<br />

breath is they have been eating<br />

liqueur chocolates.<br />

“I don’t think they actually<br />

have any alcohol in them, it’s just<br />

the flavouring,” Sergeant Martindale<br />

said.<br />

When one such driver<br />

went to court on his drink<br />

driving charge, he changed his<br />

tune - slightly. “He said that he’d<br />

been eating trifle with brandy in<br />

it.”<br />

A woman told him she had<br />

alcohol on her breath because she<br />

had been drinking Listerine.<br />

“But it actually transpired this<br />

lady was addicted to drinking<br />

mouthwash. She was drinking it<br />

in such volumes, it was enough to<br />

show in our evidential test.”<br />

Another woman said she had<br />

been eating Kurols, a mentholated<br />

throat lozenge.<br />

“To eat the amount you would<br />

need to fail a breath test, you<br />

would be physically sick before<br />

you were able to do that,” he said.<br />

Many drivers of course say they<br />

EXCUSES:<br />

Canterbury<br />

Police have<br />

heard a<br />

number of<br />

excuses from<br />

drivers over the<br />

legal alcohol<br />

limit, the most<br />

common<br />

being, “I’ve<br />

only had two<br />

drinks.”<br />

haven’t been drinking, but when<br />

they are sprung then question the<br />

validly of the breath test.<br />

“All our devices are calibrated<br />

annually, by a specialist. <strong>The</strong><br />

modern machines always purge<br />

themselves of any traces of alcohol<br />

before any test,” said Sergeant<br />

Martindale.<br />

Many people make a stupid<br />

excuse initially, then realise how<br />

stupid it was, then roll with it for<br />

awhile, then towards the end they<br />

say well actually I’ve had this<br />

much . . .’’<br />

<strong>The</strong> “two drinks” excuse comes<br />

from a “major misconception”<br />

with our legal drink driving<br />

limit, said Sergeant Martindale.<br />

“When the lower limit was introduced,<br />

it suggested a couple of<br />

drinks, but that is one standard<br />

drink per hour with food and the<br />

theory is that every person is the<br />

same, but it is not.”<br />

“Every person is different, for<br />

some people two drinks will<br />

have zero effect, where as for<br />

other people the effect could be<br />

dramatic.”<br />

don’t get you off the hook<br />

Factors which play a role in<br />

this include age, body size, your<br />

body’s chemical imbalance at the<br />

time, how much sleep a person<br />

has had and how fit or unfit they<br />

are.<br />

“Ultimately<br />

the biggest message<br />

is if you<br />

think you are<br />

going to drink<br />

alcohol, find a<br />

sober driver or<br />

Pete Stills<br />

Colin Stewart<br />

an alternative<br />

way home,” said<br />

Sergeant Martindale.<br />

<strong>The</strong> worst<br />

excuse police<br />

hear is people<br />

telling them to<br />

“go and do some<br />

real policing<br />

and catch some<br />

criminals,” he<br />

said.<br />

Sergeant Martindale believes<br />

for every drink driver caught,<br />

one innocent life has been saved<br />

on the roads.<br />

In 2011, prominent West Coast<br />

lawyer Doug Taffs put coins in<br />

his mouth to try and outwit a<br />

breath alcohol test.<br />

<strong>The</strong> method comes from an<br />

old wives’ tale that holding a<br />

penny in your mouth can interfere<br />

with your saliva’s composition.<br />

<strong>The</strong> zinc and copper of the<br />

penny supposedly neutralises or<br />

masks the actual level of alcohol<br />

by inducing a chemical reaction<br />

or coating the inside of the<br />

mouth.<br />

Senior Sergeant Pete Stills has<br />

heard of the urban legend but has<br />

never seen it work.<br />

“It didn’t work for the guy I<br />

was dealing with a long time ago.<br />

He put the coins in his mouth<br />

right in front of me.”<br />

Senior Sergeant Stills has seen<br />

people take deep breaths, in an<br />

effort to control their breathing.<br />

“I’ve never seen anything yet<br />

that has successfully overcome<br />

the machines.<br />

People will tend to minimise<br />

what they have drunk and often<br />

people might stall for time,<br />

thinking time will be their<br />

saviour. But it’s not, sometimes<br />

stalling for time could show up a<br />

higher reading.”<br />

Once, Senior Sergeant Stills<br />

was offered a bribe, if he chose to<br />

WHAT ARE THE LIMITS?<br />

•From December 2014,<br />

the alcohol limit for<br />

drivers 20 years old and<br />

older lowered from<br />

400mcg of alcohol per<br />

litre of breath to 250mcg.<br />

<strong>The</strong> blood alcohol limit<br />

lowered from 80mg of<br />

alcohol per 100ml of<br />

blood (0.08), to 50mg<br />

(0.05).<br />

•For drivers under 20, the<br />

limit is zero.<br />

•Guidance from the<br />

Institute of Environmental<br />

Science and Research<br />

(ESR) indicates that most<br />

adults may be able to<br />

drink two standard drinks<br />

over two hours and are<br />

likely to remain under the<br />

drink-driving limits for<br />

adults.<br />

•A standard drink<br />

contains 10g of pure<br />

alcohol. This is about<br />

330ml of beer, 100ml of<br />

wine or 30ml of straight<br />

spirits.<br />

‘look the other way.’<br />

“He then went on to say he<br />

was friends with my boss, when<br />

I asked him which boss, he<br />

couldn’t give me a name.”<br />

$1m plan<br />

to heat pool<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

USING WASTEWATER to heat<br />

the new Linwood Pool could cost<br />

ratepayers an extra $1 million.<br />

A report will be considered by<br />

the city council’s new finance and<br />

performance committee today,<br />

which recommends increasing<br />

the complex’s budget from $21<br />

million to $22 million to account<br />

for wastewater heating costs.<br />

Buildings in Australia, Canada,<br />

France and Hungary use wastewater<br />

running underground as<br />

a heat source. However, the Linwood<br />

Pool would be the first of<br />

its kind in New Zealand. It is also<br />

expected to reduce the complex’s<br />

operational costs by $41,500 a<br />

year, paying the additional capital<br />

back over 17-20 years. <strong>The</strong> city<br />

council will also seek third party<br />

funding for the system.<br />

Initial concepts show the facility<br />

could include a lane pool,<br />

learn-to-swim pool, toddler pool<br />

and family spa, plus two tennis<br />

and two basketball courts within<br />

the site. <strong>The</strong> city council will put<br />

the plans out for public feedback<br />

in April.<br />

<strong>The</strong> complex will be built on<br />

the corner of Linwood Ave and<br />

Smith St, at the eastern end of<br />

Linwood Park. It is expected to<br />

open in late 2021.<br />

THE KITTEN trapped<br />

inside a taped shoebox and<br />

vehicle will soon be ready<br />

to be re-homed.<br />

Brighton was taken in<br />

by SPCA Canterbury after<br />

the ordeal in North New<br />

Brighton on January 9.<br />

SPCA southern region<br />

general manager Barry<br />

Helem said Brighton was<br />

traumatised from the incident<br />

and had a severe case<br />

of cat flu.<br />

He was thrown on New<br />

Brighton Rd near the<br />

intersection with Bower<br />

Ave.<br />

“He’s recovered really<br />

well. His eyes were almost<br />

completely closed over<br />

when he came in but it<br />

(cat flu) is really treatable<br />

and he responded well to<br />

medication.”<br />

In a couple of weeks<br />

time, Brighton will be<br />

ready to be de-sexed and<br />

put up for adoption, Mr<br />

Helem said.<br />

He is currently staying<br />

with a foster family.<br />

strong leads on Brighton’s<br />

this year’s<br />

in Ashburton and Timaru.<br />

Now, retired from his job as an<br />

english teacher, Roger he has decided<br />

to get back into running.<br />

He enjoys running around the streets<br />

near where he lives and often goes to<br />

Les Mills gym also to stay in shape.<br />

“I like the City2Surf because it is an<br />

easy distances and it’s a popular run to<br />

take part in.”<br />

James Ferguson,<br />

32, Harewood<br />

James will take on<br />

the 14km run in this<br />

year’s City2Surf.<br />

It will be his first<br />

time doing the event<br />

and admits he’s a<br />

“first time runner,” opting to keep fit<br />

through rugby and other sport.<br />

<strong>The</strong> event will help him prepare for<br />

more running later in the year when<br />

he takes on the Buller Gorge halfmarathon<br />

and the Saint Clair Vineyard<br />

half marathon in Blenheim.<br />

He is enjoying his training –<br />

somewhat.<br />

“It’s a fair distance the 14km, but I’ve<br />

got get fit somehow.”<br />

Before and after work a couple of<br />

Pauline isn’t keen<br />

to slow down anytime<br />

soon.<br />

Previously, she<br />

has run the 6km in<br />

the City2Surf but<br />

next month she decided to “push the<br />

boat out” and do the 14km run.<br />

“I felt I could have gone further<br />

so I am keen to try the 14km. I<br />

have seen the wonderful sense of<br />

achievement gained from an event<br />

such as this and wanted to be part of<br />

it . . . I am getting older and I want to<br />

achieve something like this before age<br />

takes me over.”<br />

Pauline has been training with her<br />

friend Jill, who she has done the event<br />

with before.<br />

<strong>The</strong> pair enjoy after-work walks<br />

around the Burwood Wetlands.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> Wetlands takes approximately<br />

40 minutes, plus walks at the weekend<br />

along the Heathcote river. Also due to<br />

the hot weather I have been enjoying<br />

swimming at Corsair Bay, Magazine<br />

Celebrating its 45 th year,<br />

City2Surf is being held on<br />

March 24.<br />

Said Charity Hospital fundraising<br />

co-ordinator Rosie<br />

Graham: “<strong>The</strong> City2Surf is a<br />

great opportunity to not only<br />

increase the profile of the<br />

Charity Hospital as a local<br />

Canterbury charity but also<br />

be involved with a massive<br />

community event which last<br />

year attracted around 12,000<br />

entries.”<br />

“We also like the team<br />

aspect of the event as we are<br />

very much a team-based<br />

charity with over 300 volunteers<br />

all playing a part in providing<br />

our free services. And<br />

we really appreciate that <strong>Star</strong><br />

Media chose us as the charity<br />

for this major event.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> hospital, which is<br />

unique in New Zealand, frequently<br />

updates it’s services,<br />

general surgery (abdominal,<br />

rectal), oral surgery and<br />

organisations and bequests<br />

to raise the funds required to<br />

run its free services.<br />

Simon Moore<br />

Murders, pubs, V8s and a quarry<br />

Vocal opponent of<br />

the Fulton Hogan<br />

quarry near Weedons<br />

Simon Moore has seen<br />

the lowest society has<br />

to offer. <strong>The</strong> 56-year-old<br />

former police detective<br />

talks to Anan Zaki<br />

about the many hats<br />

he’s worn over the years<br />

Tell me a bit about your life<br />

outside of campaigning against<br />

the proposed quarry near<br />

Weedons?<br />

I’m a company director in<br />

an immigration company. So<br />

I’m a licensed immigration<br />

adviser. I’ve been doing that<br />

with this company [e-Migration]<br />

since 2005 and we’re based in<br />

Burnside.<br />

Other things I’m involved in –<br />

I’m the president of the Waitaha<br />

Swim Club in Hornby and I’m<br />

a board member of Swimming<br />

Canterbury West Coast.<br />

What does your job as an<br />

immigration adviser involve?<br />

We’re licensed to give<br />

immigration advice on New<br />

Zealand immigration. So we<br />

don’t do outward or other<br />

countries.<br />

for their staff.<br />

You used to be a police<br />

officer, when did you serve<br />

and what was your role?<br />

I was a detective, and when I<br />

left the police I was a detective<br />

sergeant based in Christchurch<br />

for most of the time. I served<br />

between 1983 and 1999.<br />

What made you want to<br />

become a police officer?<br />

It was one of those boyhood<br />

things. I had worked on dairy<br />

farms and I didn’t mind that.<br />

My uncle was a policeman in<br />

Oamaru and just talking to him<br />

and looking at career options,<br />

I decided to join the police. I<br />

worked full time on dairy farms<br />

for about 18 months before I was<br />

accepted into the police at 20.<br />

What were some of the<br />

notable cases that you worked<br />

on?<br />

Kirsty Bentley was the last one<br />

I worked on. That’s still in the<br />

newspapers. It’s a cold case now. I<br />

was brought in after her body was<br />

found up in the Rakaia Gorge. I<br />

was brought into review that part<br />

of the investigation, which meant<br />

that I lived in Methven for about<br />

two months.<br />

Was it a difficult time with the<br />

attention on the case?<br />

It was intense, but it was also<br />

disappointing that we couldn’t<br />

resolve that for the family. About<br />

a year or so before that I was<br />

involved in the [Marlborough]<br />

Sounds homicides as well and I<br />

lived in Blenheim for six months<br />

and hardly got a day off. That’s<br />

still controversial and still people<br />

ask me about that. It never leaves<br />

you, even though you left the<br />

police in 1999. People still want<br />

to know about both those cases<br />

because there was a lot of public<br />

interest in them.<br />

Thursday <strong>February</strong> 7 <strong>2019</strong> 13<br />

– life isn’t quiet for former cop<br />

Do you believe justice was<br />

served in the Sounds murders?<br />

Yeah I do, no doubt at all.<br />

I’ve heard all the theories, I’ve<br />

heard everything. We lived and<br />

breathed that [investigation] for<br />

six months, it was a huge amount<br />

of time and in those six months I<br />

think I got two or three weekends<br />

off. We were working 14-15 hours<br />

a day. So if anyone thinks there<br />

wasn’t a lot of work put into that<br />

they’re very wrong.<br />

Did you enjoy police work?<br />

Of course. You’ve got to be<br />

extremely dedicated and working<br />

on an inquiry, whether it would<br />

be Blenheim or Ashburton, it<br />

takes you away from your home<br />

and your family. I didn’t have<br />

children at that stage, but I was<br />

working with guys that did. It’s<br />

hell of a hard on them and I don’t<br />

think people realise that.<br />

Why did you leave the police?<br />

In 16 years I saw a lot of things<br />

and I guess that while I was<br />

still young enough, I thought I<br />

had done a lot in the police and<br />

I felt it was time for a change<br />

in scenery so I ended up being<br />

a publican. I had the Madeira<br />

Hotel in Akaroa for a couple of<br />

years.<br />

So you became a publican,<br />

that’s a bit of a change isn’t it?<br />

HIGH PROFILE: Former detective Simon Moore worked on cases such as the Marlborough<br />

Sounds murders of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope, and the murder of Ashburton schoolgirl Kirsty<br />

Bentley.<br />

<strong>The</strong> thing about the police is<br />

that it can become very negative.<br />

A lot of the time you’re dealing<br />

with the very negative side of society<br />

and you’re seeing tragedies.<br />

You’re having to tell people that<br />

their loved ones have been killed<br />

and over 16 years that can take its<br />

toll. People that have been in the<br />

police for 30-40 years, well they<br />

have got my admiration. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

deserve a medal. <strong>The</strong> thing about<br />

becoming a publican is that I saw<br />

a slightly different side to people.<br />

Some good and some bad, but the<br />

police career gives you a pretty<br />

good grounding to deal with people.<br />

You get to know a lot about<br />

people in the police. It gives you a<br />

really good grounding to understand<br />

how people work and those<br />

connections you make in the police<br />

are lifelong connections. My<br />

business partner [at e-Migration]<br />

is an ex-police officer. Immigration<br />

officers are ex-police officers,<br />

you bump into them all the time<br />

and they all remember you.<br />

What were some highlights of<br />

being a publican in Akaroa?<br />

I knew what to expect from<br />

people who couldn’t handle their<br />

alcohol because I’ve dealt with<br />

that plenty of times. But Akaroa<br />

itself was a fantastic place to live.<br />

A small population of locals, but<br />

a huge population of Cantabrians<br />

with holiday homes. So on the<br />

weekends the place would just<br />

swell with people from Christchurch<br />

and when they went away it<br />

was just your local people. I could<br />

still be living there, but I was<br />

made an offer for the pub and<br />

I couldn’t refuse it. It’s bloody<br />

hard work being a publican.<br />

Particularly in a small town that<br />

increases five times in size in the<br />

weekends. Trying to find staff,<br />

trying to please everybody and<br />

keep within the law making sure<br />

people aren’t drink driving, you<br />

take that responsibility quite<br />

heavily. As soon as I got there I<br />

bought a courtesy van so that we<br />

could get people home safely. To<br />

be honest at the start there was a<br />

bit of a sideways look from those<br />

people who were perhaps a little<br />

wayward of the law. But when<br />

they found out I was there as a<br />

publican and not a policeman it<br />

was all good. •Turn to page 14<br />

Moore takes on next challenge<br />

•From page 13<br />

Was it after that you became<br />

an immigration adviser?<br />

After two years of living and<br />

breathing [being a publican]<br />

you need a bit of time out and I<br />

thought I’d have a few months<br />

off. But I got to about six weeks<br />

and I was so bored, I saw an ad in<br />

the paper for what they used to<br />

call an immigration consultant<br />

with a big company. I applied for<br />

it and the guy from Wellington<br />

who interviewed me was an<br />

ex-cop, so I got the job. I started<br />

off as a consultant for them for<br />

about six months and after the<br />

six months we got the business<br />

running so well that they decided<br />

to start a branch, I ran that for<br />

a couple of years and went back<br />

to becoming a publican again in<br />

Hanmer Springs of all places.<br />

Where in New Zealand are<br />

you originally from?<br />

Born and bred in Christchurch.<br />

<strong>The</strong> suburb I was brought up<br />

was in Bishopdale, went to<br />

Christchurch Boys’ High School.<br />

I lived two years in Timaru after<br />

I left the police. When I came<br />

back from Timaru, I lived in<br />

that Bishopdale area again and<br />

then Templeton in the early<br />

1990s because I was working<br />

in the Hornby police station as<br />

detective. I threw my name in<br />

Popular<br />

T008 Model<br />

$269<br />

the hat for a detective sergeant’s<br />

role after just having moved to<br />

Templeton and I got that role and<br />

it was in New Brighton. I couldn’t<br />

turn the job down because I put<br />

my name in the hat, so I had<br />

to commute backwards and<br />

forwards everyday.<br />

You own a 2010 Ford<br />

Mustang, have you always been<br />

into performance cars?<br />

Yeah I am, I’ve always been a<br />

V8 man really. I’ve always liked<br />

those classic V8s and particularly<br />

Mustang, out of the lot of them.<br />

I was lucky enough to be able to<br />

buy one in 2017. I bought it in<br />

What spurred you onto<br />

advocating for something like<br />

the proposed quarry?<br />

I’ve advocated for things all<br />

my life if you look at the police<br />

side of it. <strong>The</strong> thing that got me<br />

annoyed and concerned is that<br />

when I bought at Weedons, it<br />

was surrounded by farms and<br />

horse training stables. When we<br />

went there we knew we would<br />

get planes going overhead. We<br />

accepted that. We knew Ruapuna<br />

Park was not far away and when<br />

the north east wind is blowing<br />

and they’ve got events there we<br />

can hear them quite clearly. We<br />

knew that when we moved in<br />

there.<br />

We’ve got prisons around<br />

us, halfway houses for youth<br />

offenders, we knew all that<br />

when we moved in and we<br />

accepted that. But we never had<br />

a quarry. I never in my wildest<br />

dreams thought that they<br />

would contemplate putting a<br />

quarry between Templeton and<br />

Weedons. <strong>The</strong> thing that disturbs<br />

me the most is the more I look<br />

into this the more I can see that<br />

we are so far behind the rest of<br />

the world. India and Pakistan,<br />

for example, have 1km setback<br />

rules. We don’t have anything<br />

like that.<br />

Vittoria’s age of mischief<br />

I HOPE everyone has enjoyed<br />

their Waitangi Day break – our<br />

only truly national holiday.<br />

That is until we all realise that a<br />

national holiday in winter – like,<br />

say, for Matariki – would actually<br />

be quite nice.<br />

I’ve lost my mouse. My<br />

computer mouse that is. Well, I<br />

say ‘I lost it’, but really someone<br />

small and cute found it, took it,<br />

and put it somewhere safe. Or<br />

under something. Or behind<br />

something. Or in something.<br />

I mean, she can’t eat it, I<br />

don’t think. Turn your back to<br />

Vittoria’s actions and she’ll get up<br />

to some sort of mischief without<br />

fail. Age and stage, right?<br />

Either way, it’s made writing<br />

this slightly difficult. I use<br />

a laptop and am the kind of<br />

person who can accidently wipe<br />

his computer by touching that<br />

bloody mouse pad. Just got to<br />

persist and deal without it for<br />

now.<br />

That’s one way to remind me<br />

to be on my toes as to things<br />

around Vittoria. Considering<br />

her mischief abilities, I’m equally<br />

impressed by Laura’s and my<br />

persistence in keeping all her<br />

pyjamas, bibs and socks neatly<br />

folded and stacked on a shelf in<br />

direct line of fire. I think we’ve<br />

both re-folded and re-stacked<br />

GUILTY: Vittoria caught in<br />

the act of mischief.<br />

that shelf 100 times. She’ll grow<br />

out of it eventually, either that<br />

or we’ll buy another drawer or<br />

something.<br />

It’s hilarious when you catch<br />

her in the act of mischief, she<br />

usually shoots over a sly look<br />

while slowly continuing to do<br />

whatever it is you’re telling her<br />

‘no’ about.<br />

VITTORIA<br />

& Matt<br />

If you catch her “borrowing”<br />

something, she generally giggles,<br />

tries to hide it behind herself and<br />

then runs off. Sometimes too<br />

fast and she falls over, making it<br />

funnier. Or immediately sadder.<br />

She is so adorable that it’s hard<br />

to be angry mostly. Unless it’s the<br />

10th time that day. <strong>The</strong>n it’s time<br />

for a recharging cuppa.<br />

Beyond renewed assaults<br />

on folded clothing, this week<br />

also saw Vittoria and I start<br />

at her first toddler-focussed<br />

activity, Shimmy Shakers, at the<br />

Phillipstown Community Hub<br />

on Monday. She really enjoyed<br />

herself, I could tell because even<br />

though she abandoned me to go<br />

play with the cupboards with a<br />

new friend as it started, she came<br />

back all smiles soon after and<br />

stayed for the rest.<br />

THOUSANDS OF fish have<br />

been moved in the Heathcote<br />

River as work continues to<br />

reduce its risk of flooding.<br />

In the three months to<br />

January 24, 3623 fish were<br />

moved upstream, including 531<br />

shortfin eels, 76 longfin eels, 153<br />

whitebait, 2717 common and<br />

giant bullies and three black<br />

flounders.<br />

About 20,000 tonnes of<br />

sediment has been removed<br />

before more dredging begins<br />

later in the year after the<br />

whitebait spawning season.<br />

<strong>The</strong> dredging work is being<br />

carried out between Opawa<br />

Rd and the Woolston Cut (an<br />

engineered channel) under the<br />

city council’s land drainage<br />

recovery programme.<br />

Stage one of the in-river<br />

work – from Radley St to the<br />

Woolston Barrage – has been<br />

completed, with the barge due to<br />

be removed this month.<br />

Work is also well advanced<br />

on stage two from Opawa Rd<br />

to Radley St. Contractors will<br />

dredge a section of stage two<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Fish moved to start<br />

flood reduction work<br />

in Heathcote River<br />

upstream of Radley St from<br />

Clarendon Tce this month using<br />

a long-reach excavator, operating<br />

from the bank.<br />

City council land drainage<br />

manager Keith Davison said the<br />

work is already having a positive<br />

impact on the environment.<br />

Dredging will restart on<br />

June 1 from both sides of the<br />

river – between Clarendon<br />

and Richardson Tces – and is<br />

expected to continue until later<br />

this year. <strong>The</strong> river will be closed<br />

to recreational use in the work<br />

areas because of safety issues<br />

and sediment controls.<br />

Single-lane traffic controls will<br />

also be introduced to manage<br />

truck access. A final bank<br />

tidy-up and landscaping will be<br />

completed along Richardson<br />

and Clarendon Tces following<br />

the completion of the stage two<br />

work, with planting in May-June<br />

2020.<br />

Planning and design for the<br />

third and final stage of dredging<br />

from Beckford to Opawa Rds<br />

is under way, with on-site work<br />

expected to start later this year.<br />

Water: Our ‘precious resource’<br />

WHAT HAPPENS when a<br />

community group challenges a<br />

resource consent through the<br />

courts?<br />

I guess the first thing that<br />

happens is that costs can mount<br />

very quickly and there is no<br />

guarantee that they will recover<br />

those costs if the challenge is<br />

successful.<br />

City councillors have been<br />

watching with interest the action<br />

taken against the Environment<br />

Canterbury decision to allow the<br />

transfer of old consents to take<br />

water to a new owner for a new<br />

purpose – water bottling.<br />

Leaving aside all of the<br />

sustainability issues around<br />

producing thousands of plastic<br />

bottles every week, the water<br />

allocation is exhausted in this<br />

area, so new consents need to be<br />

declined.<br />

<strong>The</strong> question a lot of us are<br />

asking is why it’s okay for<br />

these consents to be soaked<br />

up by simply purchasing the<br />

land (at inflated prices due to<br />

the consent), even though the<br />

uses and quantum used are<br />

completely different?<br />

<strong>The</strong> community group won<br />

the initial High Court hearing<br />

on a preliminary legal question<br />

of whether there was any need<br />

Mayor<br />

Lianne Dalziel<br />

to change the original resource<br />

consents at all. <strong>The</strong> High Court<br />

confirmed that either new or<br />

varied resource consents to<br />

take water for water bottling<br />

had been needed. <strong>The</strong> consentholders<br />

have now appealed that<br />

preliminary legal question to the<br />

Court of Appeal.<br />

We believe the outcome of this<br />

case is very important to the city<br />

as a whole, and we are looking<br />

at how we can support it. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

have crowd-sourced the amount<br />

required to date, and will start<br />

another campaign in a few<br />

weeks. I support this approach.<br />

However could we provide more<br />

direct help? If the preliminary<br />

decision of the High Court is<br />

upheld, and the community<br />

group then succeeds with its<br />

main claim, it will help limit<br />

water takes from the aquifers.<br />

Our water is a precious<br />

resource. It may not be owned by<br />

anyone, but it belongs to us all.<br />

Dalziel a question, email<br />

Woolston village<br />

upgrade criticised<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

CONCERNS HAVE been raised<br />

after a proposal to upgrade the<br />

Woolston Village Centre was<br />

green-lighted.<br />

<strong>The</strong> decision was made at a<br />

Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />

Community Board meeting on<br />

Monday and the project will<br />

now be brought to city council<br />

for final sign-off. <strong>The</strong> project to<br />

transform the centre, which runs<br />

down Ferry Rd, will result in the<br />

loss of 14 on-street car parks.<br />

<strong>The</strong> original 2016 Woolston<br />

Village Centre upgrade proposal,<br />

which did not go ahead, would<br />

have resulted in the removal of<br />

48 on-street car parks.<br />

In spite of the new plan reducing<br />

this number, Woolston<br />

Pharmacy owner Simon Payne<br />

said business owners and shoppers<br />

will still be worse off if these<br />

parks are lost.<br />

“It definitely is negative for our<br />

customers. It will be negative for<br />

the whole shopping area, really.”<br />

“If you don’t have car parks<br />

that are convenient, then people<br />

are just going to drive on by.”<br />

From a pharmacy’s point of view,<br />

we get a lot of people who are<br />

injured, immobile, or have low<br />

mobility due to long-term health<br />

conditions . . . it is very inconvenient<br />

if they can’t park nearby<br />

where they want to go.” ​<br />

Mr Payne said a petition to<br />

keep the car parks, started by the<br />

pharmacy late last year, received<br />

more than 1000 signatures in<br />

one week.<br />

<strong>The</strong> project will also involve<br />

the planting of trees and plants<br />

around the village, and new footpaths<br />

and street furniture.<br />

Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />

Community Board member<br />

Brenda Lowe-Johnson said<br />

she has concerns about the kauri<br />

trees which would be planted.<br />

“Kauris are a North Island<br />

tree, they don’t belong to<br />

the South Island and they don’t<br />

grow here very well. I’m not very<br />

happy about that either because<br />

it’s a waste of money having<br />

something that’s not going to<br />

grow properly.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> city council is expected<br />

to decide in the next six weeks<br />

whether the project will go<br />

ahead.<br />

GREAT food<br />

BROUGHT TO YOU BY...<br />

Your fresh food people<br />

PEACH, APRICOT AND<br />

BLUEBERRY COBBLER<br />

Ingredients<br />

Cobbler crust<br />

1 cup all-purpose flour<br />

1/2 cup rye flour<br />

1/2 cup cornmeal<br />

1 Tbsp baking powder<br />

1 Tbsp sugar<br />

1/2 tsp salt<br />

3/4 stick of very cold butter, cut<br />

into bits and rechilled for 10min<br />

1/2 cup milk<br />

1/4 cup mascarpone, plus more<br />

for serving<br />

Cobbler filling<br />

3 peaches, pitted and sliced into<br />

1cm wedges<br />

2 apricots, pitted and sliced into<br />

1cm wedges<br />

1 cup blueberries<br />

1 Tbsp sugar<br />

1 Tbsp cornstarch<br />

1 Tbsp cherry liqueur<br />

Zest of one lemon<br />

Pinch of freshly ground black<br />

pepper (optional)<br />

Directions<br />

Preheat the oven to 190 deg C<br />

with the baking rack positioned<br />

in the middle. Butter and set<br />

aside a baking dish.<br />

In a large bowl, whisk together<br />

the flours, cornmeal, baking<br />

powder, sugar, and salt. Drop in<br />

butter and using your fingertips,<br />

toss the butter pieces with the<br />

flour until coated. Rub the butter<br />

into the dry ingredients until you<br />

have small-sized pieces of butter<br />

throughout.<br />

In a small bowl, whisk together<br />

the milk and the mascarpone<br />

until well combined. Pour the<br />

milk-mascarpone mixture over<br />

the dry ingredients and mix with<br />

a fork until you get a very soft<br />

dough. At this point, you will<br />

probably still have dry bits of<br />

dough at the bottom of the bowl,<br />

which you can incorporate using<br />

your hands or a spatula.<br />

Roll the dough out between<br />

two pieces of parchment paper<br />

until it’s roughly the shape and<br />

size of your baking dish. Chill<br />

the dough until ready to use –<br />

while you prepare the fruit.<br />

In a large bowl toss all the<br />

filling ingredients and stir gently<br />

to mix. Turn the fruit into the<br />

buttered dish and top with the<br />

biscuit dough. Using a small,<br />

sharp knife, cut six slits in the<br />

dough, just as you would for a<br />

pie crust. Using the same knife or<br />

a cookie cutter, cut a circle out of<br />

the center of the dough. Bake the<br />

cobbler 50-65min, or until the<br />

top is puffed and golden brown<br />

and the fruit is bubbling through<br />

the center hold. Cool the cobbler<br />

on a cooling rack for at least<br />

30min before serving. Serve<br />

warm or at room temperatures<br />

with a dollop of mascarpone.<br />

PORTERHOUSE WITH CAPSICUM, COURGETTES<br />

Ingredients<br />

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil<br />

2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice<br />

1 Tbsp red wine vinegar<br />

1 Tbsp Dijon mustard<br />

1 Tbsp chopped oregano<br />

Salt and freshly ground pepper<br />

2 courgettes, sliced on the<br />

diagonal 2cm thick<br />

1 red onion, sliced 1cm thick<br />

1 red sweet pointed capsicum,<br />

cored and quartered<br />

100-120g mushrooms, stemmed<br />

400g asparagus<br />

1 scallion, roots trimmed<br />

2 porterhouse steaks, about<br />

400g each<br />

Directions<br />

In a small<br />

bowl, whisk<br />

the olive oil<br />

with the lemon<br />

juice, red<br />

wine vinegar,<br />

mustard and<br />

oregano and<br />

season with salt<br />

and pepper.<br />

Transfer half<br />

of the dressing<br />

to a large<br />

bowl. Add the<br />

courgette, onion, capsicum,<br />

mushrooms, asparagus and<br />

scallion. Season the vegetables<br />

with salt and pepper and toss.<br />

In a perforated grill pan, grill<br />

the vegetables over high heat,<br />

tossing, until charred in spots.<br />

Return to the bowl, add the<br />

remaining dressing and toss.<br />

Season the steaks generously<br />

with salt and pepper. Grill the<br />

steaks over high heat, turning<br />

occasionally. Transfer the steaks<br />

to a carving board and let rest<br />

for 5min. Slice the meat from<br />

the bones and serve with the<br />

grilled vegetables.<br />

WEEK 4: Upping the pace<br />

This week we will step it up a bit more. <strong>The</strong><br />

beginners group will progress to the stage<br />

that most of the walking is replaced by<br />

slow jogging and the intermediate group<br />

are starting to incorporate some efforts in<br />

zone 2. Remember that zone 1 is perceived<br />

as an easy effort which you can maintain<br />

for very long periods of time. In zone 2<br />

you will get slightly puffed but you can still<br />

have a conversation. You go from jogging<br />

in zone 1 to a proper running movement<br />

in zone 2 with the main difference being<br />

that zone 1 has a slower rhythm, staying<br />

low to the ground where as zone 2 brings<br />

extra spring in your step combined with<br />

an increase in leg turnover (stride rate).<br />

<strong>The</strong> intermediate group introduces zone 2<br />

pace as 2 minute repetitions alternated by<br />

2 minute easy jogging. Zone 2 to 3 will be<br />

the recommended pace for the City to Surf<br />

event for the intermediate group while the<br />

beginners will mainly stay in zone 1 and 2.<br />

<strong>The</strong> difference between walking and jogging<br />

is not only decided by the rhythm of the<br />

movement but also how and where you land<br />

your feet. When jogging most efficiently<br />

you land on your mid-foot under the centre<br />

of gravity of the body, which, in the upright<br />

position, is located in the pelvis just behind<br />

the midline of the body. With a slight forward<br />

lean of the body you can use gravity to pull<br />

you forward while your legs keep you upright<br />

and push you in a forward direction. Walking<br />

is done in a more upright position and most<br />

of us land on our heel first and roll over the<br />

outside of our foot before pushing off with<br />

our forefoot. It helps to keep your core<br />

(lower abdomen, back, pelvis and hips) well<br />

supported by pushing your pelvis slightly<br />

forward. This will stop you from “sitting” and<br />

over striding.<br />

TIP OF THE WEEK<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is no need to bring fluids with you during the<br />

sessions as you are not exercising long and hard<br />

enough to cause serious dehydration. Even on warm<br />

(north-west) days it is sufficient to have a glass of<br />

water or juice just before you go out. You can rehydrate<br />

on your return home, again with water and/<br />

or a glass of fruit juice. Taking fluids during exercise<br />

is generally not required until you start to exceed 90<br />

minutes on a normal day and 60 minutes on a hot<br />

day (temperatures above 25 degrees).<br />

Nine-wicket haul for<br />

veteran paceman<br />

• By Gordon Findlater<br />

AGE IS NO barrier for<br />

47-year-old Scott Inglis<br />

who took a career best<br />

9-49 for Burnside West<br />

Christchurch University’s<br />

premier side on Saturday.<br />

Playing Riccarton<br />

in the metro cricket<br />

two-day premiership,<br />

Jackson Latham took the<br />

first wicket for BWCU.<br />

However, the remainder of<br />

the innings was dominated<br />

by Inglis, who was<br />

unplayable at times during<br />

his 19.4 overs.<br />

<strong>The</strong> right-arm quick<br />

bowler puts his longevity<br />

at premier level down to<br />

a lack of injuries and his<br />

work in the gym over<br />

recent years.<br />

“I do get quite sore,<br />

though. I’m no good on<br />

Tuesday, start to feel<br />

better by training on<br />

Thursday, and am good<br />

to go by Saturday,” said<br />

Inglis.<br />

Inglis clean bowled two<br />

of his victims on Saturday,<br />

while seven dismissals<br />

came from catches.<br />

He is BWCU’s all-time<br />

leading wicket-taker at<br />

premier grade level with<br />

well over 600 wickets.<br />

Super Rugby time already<br />

IT’S THE time of year<br />

when we suddenly<br />

remember while battling<br />

a 30-plus deg C nor’west<br />

day in early <strong>February</strong> that<br />

Super Rugby starts next<br />

week.<br />

Finally, after years<br />

of being subjected to<br />

having our premier rugby<br />

competition blasted upon<br />

me while I’m at the peak<br />

of enjoying a summer of<br />

cricket, it’s even beginning<br />

to feel like the norm – as<br />

much as I hate to accept it.<br />

I’m not sure why it’s<br />

never felt normal – 1996<br />

was the last time Super<br />

Rugby started in March.<br />

Seasonal gripe aside, the<br />

biggest question going into<br />

this season is will we show<br />

up?<br />

<strong>The</strong>re’s no denying the<br />

drop off in attendances for<br />

Super Rugby, particularly<br />

close to home in recent<br />

years. We can debate<br />

all day as to why. A tent<br />

for a stadium, too many<br />

overseas teams no one is<br />

interested in, cold weather,<br />

the examples go on.<br />

This year has every<br />

reason why we should be<br />

turning out in droves.<br />

CAMPAIGNER: Scott Inglis celebrated taking his<br />

600th wicket for Burnside West Christchurch<br />

University two years ago. On Saturday the 47-yearold<br />

recorded his career best bowling figures.<br />

It was a day to remember<br />

for BWCU, with Liam<br />

Winn scoring a century<br />

to give his team a 130-run<br />

advantage going into the<br />

second day of the match on<br />

Saturday. However, the day<br />

belonged to Inglis.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> guys made a bit of<br />

a fuss of it . . . we had a big<br />

boozy one afterwards. I<br />

was no good on Sunday,<br />

especially after bowling 20<br />

overs,” he said.<br />

Inglis, who grew up<br />

We’re going for three in<br />

a row. Yes, the Crusaders<br />

have more than truly<br />

established themselves as<br />

the dominant force they<br />

were in the late 1990s and<br />

2000s. However, if you<br />

look at crowd numbers<br />

from that era compared to<br />

last year at Christchurch<br />

Stadium (yes, Australasia’s<br />

most successful sporting<br />

franchise of the past<br />

25 years can’t attract a<br />

naming rights sponsor<br />

for their fortress/tent this<br />

season), it’s impossible to<br />

argue against numbers<br />

being down.<br />

With the Rugby World<br />

Cup coming later in the<br />

year, there’s more on the<br />

line. If Scott Robertson can<br />

create history by becoming<br />

the first coach to achieve a<br />

Super Rugby three-peat, it<br />

will give the NZRU every<br />

reason to appoint him as<br />

Steve Hansen’s successor.<br />

Outside of the sabbatical<br />

in Motueka, previously<br />

played representative<br />

cricket for Nelson, where<br />

on debut he claimed the<br />

wicket of former New<br />

Zealand international<br />

batsman Roger Twose.<br />

He is now in his 20th<br />

season with BWCU and<br />

plans to retire at the end<br />

of this season. Last year<br />

he finished as the top<br />

wicket-taker at the national<br />

club championships in<br />

Auckland.<br />

One-eyed Cantab<br />

Gordon Findlater<br />

gang, who will have orders<br />

to sit out certain points<br />

of the season, we will<br />

have a competition with<br />

fringe All Blacks looking<br />

to push their case at every<br />

opportunity.<br />

But with all this in mind,<br />

will we show up?<br />

It’s also worth noting<br />

there’s some big pros to the<br />

rugby season starting in<br />

<strong>February</strong>. <strong>The</strong> biggest one<br />

is with the sun being out at<br />

7.35pm, you are given the<br />

illusion the competition<br />

has opted to go for a fanfriendly,<br />

day-time kick<br />

off, rather than expecting<br />

people to pay to show up<br />

on a cold winter’s night,<br />

instead of watching at<br />

home on Sky.<br />

My prediction for this<br />

year is the Crusaders will<br />

romp to a third straight<br />

Super Rugby title while<br />

most of us watch history<br />

unfold at the local or from<br />

the couch.<br />

Coaching the All Blacks would lure<br />

Robbie Deans is Super Rugby’s most successful head coach winning five titles with<br />

the Crusaders between 2000 and 2008. Deans returned home last week during a<br />

break in the Japanese Top League season. Gordon Findlater caught up with him<br />

RUGBY FAMILY: <strong>The</strong> 2008 Super Rugby final – Deans was<br />

carried off the field by Brad Thorn and Reuben Thorne in<br />

his last game as coach of the Crusaders.<br />

PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />

COACHING THE All Blacks is<br />

the only opportunity that would<br />

lure Robbie Deans back to New<br />

Zealand.<br />

<strong>The</strong> former Crusaders and<br />

Wallabies coach – who currently<br />

coaches the Panasonic Wild<br />

Knights in Japan – is back home<br />

for the next month. However, with<br />

no interest in a return to Super<br />

Rugby there’s only one job that<br />

would see his return home come<br />

before retirement.<br />

“I got no interest in living out<br />

of a suitcase which is what Super<br />

Rugby is essentially, it’s a lot of<br />

travel. I was lucky enough to do<br />

that for 12 years between managing<br />

and coaching so I’ve had my<br />

fill,” said Deans.<br />

“That [All Blacks] would be the<br />

only international job that would<br />

be of interest if I was going to do<br />

one again, but no it won’t happen.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re’s guys like Razor [Scott<br />

Robertson] who have got the background<br />

now.”<br />

Deans spent time last week at<br />

Crusaders training and caught<br />

up with Robertson over a coffee.<br />

While Deans may have a realist<br />

approach to his chances of taking<br />

the head coaching role of the All<br />

Blacks when Steve Hanson finishes<br />

up at the end of this year’s Rugby<br />

World Cup, he would be open to<br />

taking on an assistant or advisory<br />

role for whoever gets the nod.<br />

If Robertson is to take charge<br />

there’s every chance Deans could<br />

be someone to bring into the fold<br />

given the pair’s relationship.<br />

“Oh, look I’d be honoured if<br />

someone like that thought I’d be<br />

right for a role,” he said.<br />

“I stay in touch with the Crusaders<br />

and in particular the people,<br />

that’s the nature of rugby. <strong>The</strong>re’s a<br />

lot of guys who are now coaching,<br />

Brad Thorn, Gibbo [Daryl Gibson],<br />

Aaron [Mauger] and Todd Blackadder,<br />

I stay in touch with all of those<br />

guys. <strong>The</strong> people who I’ve been<br />

lucky enough to be involved with<br />

along the way is what makes rugby.”<br />

“We’ve got some great history<br />

together and shared some great<br />

experiences.”<br />

For now Deans says he is loving<br />

life coaching in Japan which allows<br />

him and his wife Penny the<br />

time to visit their three children<br />

who are spread around the world,<br />

and regularly return home.<br />

“What’s appealing about Japan<br />

is that it’s a much better balance<br />

in the year. Europe is 11 months,<br />

Japan is eight with a two-month<br />

winter break, so you’re talking<br />

about a six-month calendar year,<br />

it’s great.”<br />

While rugby will always play<br />

second fiddle to the likes of<br />

baseball in Japan, Deans says the<br />

interest in the game is growing,<br />

something he sees helping Japan’s<br />

national team become a relevant<br />

threat to big rugby nations going<br />

forward.<br />

“It is evolving. Post 2015 the<br />

interest in the game, particularly<br />

with the World Cup coming has<br />

boomed. We have a lot more<br />

general public watching us train<br />

and more of a media presence. <strong>The</strong><br />

media presence is probably greater<br />

than here, it’s just a pure numbers<br />

thing,” said Deans.<br />

While in Japan, Deans has also<br />

found time to get involved in his<br />

other sporting passion – cricket.<br />

He has even left a mark on the<br />

Japanese national side after being<br />

invited to a net session with the<br />

team after running into their coach<br />

at his local squash club in Sano.<br />

Robbie Deans back to NZ<br />

“<strong>The</strong> ICC has just tipped in<br />

US$4 million to upgrade their<br />

national centre, so it’s a pretty<br />

good oval. I’ve been down there<br />

and had a hit, and worked with<br />

the national team,” said Deans.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y’ve got some useful cricketers<br />

. . . they had a leg spinner<br />

there who was self-taught. He<br />

watches Shane Warne on You-<br />

Tube and taught himself to bowl,<br />

including a flipper.”<br />

This week Deans is representing<br />

Canterbury at the national<br />

over 60s provincial cricket tournament<br />

in Lower Hutt.<br />

Deans played in a New Zealand<br />

secondary school team in 1977<br />

which featured Martin Crowe<br />

who made the team as a fourth<br />

form student. <strong>The</strong> team played<br />

against Australian state teams at<br />

a tournament in Christchurch.<br />

Deans finished as the tournament’s<br />

top run scorer and scored<br />

150 against a Tasmania team<br />

Robbie Deans coaching career<br />

Age – 59<br />

which featured David Boon.<br />

Deans played one match for<br />

Canterbury in Waimate in<br />

1982 – the same year he helped<br />

Canterbury’s rugby side win the<br />

Ranfurly Shield.<br />

“At the end of the season I got<br />

sent a cheque for $17.98. I never<br />

banked it because it would have<br />

made me a professional which<br />

would have compromised my<br />

rugby.”<br />

Following his rugby playing career<br />

Deans played representative<br />

cricket for Canterbury Country.<br />

He scored a century against<br />

Marlborough and was part of an<br />

unsuccessful Hawke Cup challenge<br />

against Northland.<br />

At 59, Deans has been given<br />

dispensation to compete at<br />

the over-60s tournament. I’m<br />

sure there won’t be too many<br />

complaints from anyone who has<br />

the opportunity to send down a<br />

delivery to him.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Canterbury Rams have resigned<br />

guard Taylor Britt for this<br />

<strong>The</strong> 22-year-old made valuable<br />

<strong>The</strong> Canterbury Glen Eagles won<br />

their first teams’ championships<br />

at the Palmerston North<br />

speedway at the weekend when<br />

they defeated the Hawke’s Bay<br />

Hawkeyes in Sunday’s final.<br />

Since first appearing at the<br />

champs in 1984 the Glen Eagles<br />

have previously made just one<br />

finals appearance and held a<br />

record of just 16 wins from 62<br />

races.<br />

TOUCH CANTERBURY<br />

Touch is once again out in force across parks,<br />

beaches and backyards. <strong>The</strong> flexibility of this<br />

game sees it as one of the most popular summer<br />

sports in NZ. This season sees more than 17,000<br />

players actively involved in our competitions, which span<br />

across Canterbury and the West coast. Currently we have<br />

35 affiliated modules that cover both junior and senior<br />

competitions and cater to all ages and experience.<br />

Touch really is a sport that caters to people of all<br />

diverse backgrounds and provides opportunities for all.<br />

This is one of the keys to why we are able to develop<br />

relationships with other local sporting communities, and<br />

build strong links within the community.<br />

Whilst a large majority of participants are involved in<br />

touch for the pure social aspect of it, we do have a<br />

developed pathway for those that have higher aspirations<br />

to representative honours.<br />

Touch Canterbury has a long and proud record on the<br />

national stage and this tradition continues with the<br />

upcoming Touch New Zealand Junior and YOM (Youth,<br />

Open and Masters) National tournaments.<br />

<strong>2019</strong> will see a total of 17 teams represent Canterbury<br />

and travel to Rotorua in <strong>February</strong> and March, to compete<br />

against the best players and teams from all over New<br />

Zealand.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Junior Nationals will see 6 teams compete in the<br />

boys, girls and mixed divisions at both U16 and U18 level.<br />

At the YOM Nationals we will have 11 teams represent<br />

grades from Under 21’s to Over 55’s. <strong>The</strong> players,<br />

coaches and management have been working extremely<br />

hard, and we look forward to seeing all the preparation be<br />

put into action as they challenge for a national title.<br />

Touch Canterbury also supports the development and<br />

growth of referees within our sport and we are very proud<br />

to once again have the largest provincial contingent of<br />

referees attend these national events.<br />

As with many sports, touch is a user-pay<br />

system which can add extra pressure to<br />

attending these events. Touch Canterbury<br />

and our representative players are extremely<br />

grateful for the support of local businesses and<br />

funders to aid our athletes in recognising and<br />

achieving their goals.<br />

You can keep up to date with all the activity and<br />

results on our Facebook page, https://www.<br />

Team set to continue on their winning streak<br />

2018/19 Season has been amazing as I look<br />

back on our campaign and reflect, I remember<br />

our first camp when Alisi Tupuailei ran a session<br />

with boys on “housekeeping” which involved<br />

the boys setting their own expectations and<br />

standards. It was very important for Alisi, Sonya<br />

White and myself that we set a good foundation<br />

around our values “winners forever” where we<br />

practice to teach the boys to be better humans,<br />

sport is for a short time, being a better human is<br />

for a long time.<br />

<strong>The</strong> most important thing for me is to help<br />

each and every player be the best they can be. I<br />

want them to do things on and off the Touch field<br />

better than they’ve been before, relative to their<br />

age group. <strong>The</strong>y have been smashing their team<br />

and individual goals including winning Gold at<br />

the South Island Championship. <strong>The</strong>y have been<br />

individually improving their times on fitness tests<br />

with the entire team coming in under 5mins in the<br />

Bronco test with the best result a 4m43s which<br />

is quicker than Crusaders Ritchie Mo’unga and<br />

Mitch Hunt (4m45s).<br />

A massive thank you to our two main team<br />

sponsors Bruce Cooper Plastering and AP<br />

Plumbing Ltd, without their contributions none<br />

of the training camps or activities would have<br />

been possible. Thank you to our parents who have<br />

sacrificed time and money and trusted in our<br />

coaching staff this season.<br />

<strong>The</strong> biggest thank you to all the sponsors<br />

below in supporting the opportunities that<br />

sport provides our young boys with, to develop<br />

attributes that will serve them well throughout<br />

their lives. From the effort and commitment I have<br />

seen I know you have made a great investment.<br />

Team looking forward to National Tournament<br />

<strong>The</strong> U16 Girls are looking forward to the<br />

Junior Touch Nationals from 8th <strong>February</strong> – 10th<br />

<strong>February</strong> in Rotorua. This is a great opportunity<br />

to play the best of the best from every province, it<br />

will be a great challenge, one that the team is very<br />

excited about.<br />

Under the guidance of coach Adrian Godinet,<br />

the team have been working hard on policies and<br />

plays. We travelled to Oamaru where we played in<br />

a mini tournament against Otago and Southland<br />

and then competed at the Southern IPS<br />

tournament here in Christchurch. We had some<br />

challenging games but the girls perservered<br />

and came away winning the finals at both<br />

tournaments.<br />

<strong>The</strong> girls are a very talented group that have<br />

gelled well together on and off the field and<br />

show immense heart. <strong>The</strong> girls are captained by<br />

Junior National Tournament<br />

Rotorua, 8-10 <strong>February</strong>, <strong>2019</strong><br />

Courtney Godinet and vice captain Georgia Reed,<br />

along with a strong leadership group there is a lot<br />

of experience here. <strong>The</strong>y have been training hard,<br />

getting fitness up, combining well and ready to<br />

combat what Nationals will bring.<br />

We would like to say a massive thanks to all<br />

our parents, supporters and team sponsors<br />

for all their support this far. It has been really<br />

awesome and very much appreciated by the team<br />

management and players. THANK YOU!!<br />

Underdogs ready for National Tournament<br />

<strong>The</strong> Coaching and Management staff for the<br />

Canterbury Under 16 Mixed team for <strong>2019</strong> would like<br />

to first and foremost thank all sponsors, supporters,<br />

parents and players for all their efforts leading into<br />

this years Junior National Touch Tournament. <strong>The</strong><br />

tournament will take place on the 8th-11th <strong>February</strong><br />

in Rotorua and will put us against the very best<br />

Mixed Touch teams from all over NZ. So this is a very<br />

exciting tournament for all people involved.<br />

<strong>The</strong> team has been training weekly for this<br />

tournament for the last four months and have also<br />

been competing in the local Thursday night Burnside<br />

competition riddled with teams full of Canterbury<br />

and NZ senior representatives. This has meant<br />

that we have had to develop quickly as a team and<br />

learn to compete with the best in our region. An<br />

experience most Junior teams don’t receive at such<br />

a young age.<br />

It has been an exciting journey building towards<br />

Rotorua, 8-10 <strong>February</strong>, <strong>2019</strong><br />

the Junior National Tournament. We have some<br />

very good talent throughout our team coupled with<br />

great leadership in our two Co-Captains Amy-Lee<br />

Peterson and Isaac Hutchinson. With that in mind, I<br />

believe we have the right recipe for success and our<br />

target is to become the first ever Canterbury team<br />

to win the National Under16 Mixed Competition.<br />

Having previously placed 9th last year, we will be the<br />

underdogs in this tournament and that is a label we<br />

will happily wear and use to catch our competition<br />

off guard. Watch this space.<br />

albeit with a $21,000 price difference.<br />

Of course, you don’t get all<br />

the trick stuff of Golf GTi, but<br />

the Polo equivalent is still well<br />

specced, powerful and light,<br />

the combination providing the<br />

ingredients for sporty ability.<br />

Under the bonnet of the<br />

Polo GTi sits a 2-litre, turbocharged<br />

engine which<br />

develops 147kW and 320Nm.<br />

While they may seem average<br />

outputs compared to many of<br />

the high performing models<br />

which make up this part of<br />

the market, the Polo GTi is a<br />

quick car.<br />

It develops a lot of torque<br />

low down (1500rpm-<br />

4400rpm), these figures<br />

meeting the low point of<br />

maximum power at 4400rpm.<br />

Consequently, it is swift off<br />

the mark and will lunge to<br />

high speeds quickly. For the<br />

record, it will make 100km/h<br />

from a standstill in 6.7sec, and<br />

will scorch through a highway<br />

overtake in 4.4sec (80km/h to<br />

120km/h).<br />

Motoring<br />

Ross Kiddie<br />

VOLKSWAGEN POLO GTI: Affordable performance<br />

car.<br />

<strong>The</strong> test car was fitted with<br />

a six-speed direct shift gearbox,<br />

effectively that means it’s<br />

an automatic. It is a quickshifting<br />

transmission with<br />

ratios that enhance engine<br />

performance, they are low in<br />

the first three or four slots,<br />

broadening to provide relaxed<br />

highway motoring and fuel<br />

usage savings.<br />

Volkswagen claim a 5.9-<br />

litre per 100km/h (48mpg)<br />

combined cycle fuel usage<br />

rating, which sits well with the<br />

7.2l/100km (39mpg) showing<br />

during testing time.<br />

Considering I was aggressive<br />

with the throttle, exploring its<br />

acceleration and performance<br />

potential frequently, those figures<br />

are commendable.<br />

At 100km/h the engine<br />

is relaxed at just 1750rpm,<br />

returning a fabulous instantaneous<br />

readout of 4.5l/100km<br />

(63mpg).<br />

However, such is the freerevving<br />

nature of the engine,<br />

fuel economy often gets<br />

ignored, the Polo has decisive<br />

response to accelerator input,<br />

it is feisty and downright keen<br />

to pull hard.<br />

<strong>The</strong> excitement from under<br />

the bonnet is matched by a<br />

firm-riding, sport-orientated<br />

suspension. <strong>The</strong> Polo’s set-up<br />

isn’t as sophisticated as that of<br />

the Golf GTi, and as its simplicity<br />

shows, the ride is a little<br />

harsh, there’s not a lot of compliance,<br />

but it is engineered<br />

towards a positive handling<br />

experience, and to that end it<br />

excels.<br />

However, the Polo GTi<br />

points and turns into a corner<br />

with decisive steering feel<br />

and kart-like stability. It is<br />

extremely nimble and agile, a<br />

lot of that thanks to the light<br />

weight of the car in total.<br />

At 1355kg it isn’t dragging<br />

around any excess, which<br />

means a high power-to-weight<br />

ratio, and with its angry<br />

engine sound and lovely, but<br />

subdued, exhaust crackle<br />

on gearshifts, the Polo GTi<br />

lures and entices the driver to<br />

explore its potential.<br />

At around $39k the Polo<br />

GTi also comes in with a good<br />

level of kit. I particularly like<br />

the tartan seats, they are very<br />

much a match for Golf GTi,<br />

alongside that, the Polo GTi<br />

also encapsulates a lot of what<br />

Volkswagen represents as a<br />

performance brand.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Polo has been used with<br />

considerable success in the<br />

World Rally Championship,<br />

and the GTi branding benefits<br />

from that exposure. With<br />

the way the Polo GTi looks<br />

and the inclusion of features<br />

such as a built-in stopwatch<br />

you could almost believe it is<br />

meant for competition.<br />

It’s most certainly an<br />

exciting car to be behind<br />

the wheel of, and at its price<br />

point it is also a realistic<br />

opportunity for those who<br />

like something different in a<br />

sports car.<br />

GARDENING ADVICE<br />

How do I grow Rhubarb and care for it?<br />

Q Today’s winning question came from Annette. Congratulations!<br />

A<br />

Given the right conditions, rhubarb is a<br />

relatively easy crop to grow that will continue<br />

producing for a number of years.<br />

Rhubarb prefers rich, organic, free draining<br />

soil in a spot that gets full sun. Add plenty of<br />

compost into the soil before planting with some Garden<br />

Time TM Chicken and Sheep Pellets.<br />

Rhubarb is a ‘gross feeder’ so feed regularly with<br />

Garden Time TM Compost and again, apply organic<br />

fertilisers like the chicken and sheep pellets in early<br />

spring and autumn.<br />

If rhubarb plants dry out, they will collapse very quickly.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y require regular deep watering during hot,<br />

dry Canterbury summers, finished with a<br />

good layer of mulch on top. Mulch helps<br />

water retention during hot summer days<br />

and stops plants from drying out.<br />

Remove the outer<br />

growth even if you<br />

Regular mulching throughout the hot summer months is vital in helping you maintain a<br />

lush, healthy garden. Apply a thick layer on top of soil around plants, trees and especially<br />

pots, to aid water retention. Avoid watering during the hottest part of the day when plants<br />

are heat stressed; instead water regularly and deeply in the early morning or evening.<br />

We have a $95 Daltons Summer Garden Survival Pack to giveaway including: 2x Garden<br />

Time Landscape Bark 40L, 2x Besgrow Coir Briquette, 2x Garden Time Compost 40L, Garden<br />

Time Complete Fertiliser 5kg, Garden Time Fruit & Citrus Fertiliser 1.5kg, Daltons Water Storage<br />

Crystals 250g, plus Red Back gardening gloves from Omni Products www.omniproducts.co.nz<br />

$95<br />

PRIZE<br />

PACK!<br />

are not using them, to encourage vigorous new stems<br />

to develop. Only eat the stems; the rhubarb leaves are<br />

highly toxic so don’t feed them to animals (or humans!).<br />

Instead, pop them in your compost bin.<br />

In some parts of New Zealand during winter, rhubarb<br />

plants can look rather sad, but by spreading side<br />

dressing of the above organic fertilisers in early spring,<br />

the plants will quickly recover and flourish in time for<br />

summer.<br />

You may need to replant your rhubarb every 4-5 years,<br />

however some plants can last much longer.<br />

More than ever, we now require our homes<br />

to be a sanctuary - a primate haven where<br />

the cares and pressures of the world do not<br />

intrude. <strong>The</strong> home should be an enveloping,<br />

warm and creative environment where family<br />

members of all ages feel relaxed and safe.<br />

<strong>The</strong> longer you live in your home, the more<br />

likely you are to feel in sync with it.<br />

As the seasons come and go you’ll have got<br />

to know which rooms are sunny and which<br />

ones need brightening.<br />

You’ll have noted areas prone to damp.<br />

You’ll have observed where different family<br />

members like to spend their time and why.<br />

You might have come to the conclusion<br />

that major changes are required to make<br />

your home as healthy as possible, or perhaps<br />

you’ve concluded that a few simple tweaks<br />

will do the trick.<br />

MATERIALS<br />

<strong>The</strong> ‘make-do-and-mend’ culture that has<br />

grown during the recession places emphasis<br />

on the satisfaction that can be found in<br />

incorporating natural materials with vintage<br />

items. Pieces of driftwood, collections of<br />

shells, that lovely<br />

moss-covered garden bench or a ‘cleverly’<br />

revived piece of furniture all have their place<br />

in the healthy home and its surroundings.<br />

This trend steers away from plastics and<br />

synthetic materials.<br />

HEATING AND VENTILATION<br />

A home needs to be cool in summer, with<br />

plenty of natural ventilation, and warm<br />

in winter. Traditional open fires are being<br />

phased out and home owners are discovering<br />

the joys of installing modern wood burners,<br />

using gas for heating or installing a heat pump.<br />

All these options are healthy - technology has<br />

come a long way and most choices will see you<br />

saving money in the long run.<br />

Home & Property appears every Thursday, delivered FREE<br />

throughout Christchurch<br />

STORAGE<br />

While a minimalist style might be fine for<br />

single people or couples without kids, when<br />

the patter of tiny feet comes along, good<br />

storage is going to be vital at every stage of<br />

a child’s life - be they babies or teens - they<br />

come with clutter. <strong>The</strong> more you can contain<br />

that clutter the better in terms of both your<br />

mental health and general safety.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are any number of options available,<br />

from professionally designed cupboards<br />

and wardrobes, to the simple lidded plastic<br />

boxes you can buy at chain stores. While<br />

some people claim they thrive in a messy<br />

environment. I know from experience that a<br />

lovely, orderly home is good for the soul.<br />

COLOUR<br />

Choosing the<br />

right colours<br />

for your home<br />

can make a big<br />

difference. Small,<br />

dark rooms<br />

can be opened<br />

up and made<br />

brighter simply<br />

by choosing<br />

the right paint.<br />

Today’s homes<br />

tend to be more<br />

open plan, so<br />

choose a palette<br />

of two or three<br />

basic colours<br />

and use them<br />

throughout<br />

to achieve<br />

cohesion and<br />

harmony.<br />
