Gillian<br />
gets her<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
GILLIAN SHEARD’S dying<br />
wish wasn’t a trip overseas, nor<br />
was it a shopping spree or the<br />
chance to meet Prince William.<br />
It was an upgrade to a<br />
pedestrian crossing on<br />
Stanmore Rd in Richmond for<br />
her community.<br />

dying wish<br />
Last year Ms Sheard collected<br />
500 signatures from Richmond<br />
residents who wanted the crossing<br />
to be improved after she first<br />
raised concerns with the city<br />
council in 2016.<br />
But city council staff came<br />
back and said the crossing may<br />
need to be removed.<br />
“When I heard they were<br />

going to get rid of it, I got really<br />
annoyed. I said no, you’re not<br />
going to do that,” she said.<br />
“I’m a person that is determined,<br />
I will go full hog and<br />
make something happen.”<br />
About seven months ago,<br />
Ms Sheard was diagnosed with<br />
cancer.<br />

However, Ms Sheard won her<br />
battle with the council when the<br />
infrastructure, transport and<br />
environment committee asked<br />
staff to look at improving the<br />
crossing.<br />

Flu, colds<br />
start to<br />
sweep<br />
through<br />
region<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
FLU AND colds are ravaging<br />
Canterbury but the worst could be<br />
yet to come, health officials warn.<br />
Latest figures released by the<br />
Canterbury District Health Board<br />
show there were 74 reported cases<br />
of the flu last week in Canterbury<br />
and 89 the week<br />
before.<br />
Last week, more<br />
than 41 patients<br />
in Christchurch<br />
Hospital had the<br />
flu.<br />
Health board<br />
chief executive<br />
David Meates said<br />
David<br />
Meates<br />
we should prepare for what could<br />
be a very bad flu season.<br />
“We know it’s bad in Australia,<br />
and there’s a high chance that<br />
it can come here too,” said Mr<br />
Meates.<br />
Canterbury Primary Health<br />
Response Group spokesman Phil<br />
Schroeder said a spike this early<br />
in the season is “relatively uncharacteristic.”<br />
“It is the first time that I have<br />
seen a major spike in May for well<br />
over 10 years really. We actually<br />
had a significant rises of influenza<br />
even in our later summer as well<br />
as in autumn in Canterbury but it<br />
didn’t look like it was amounting<br />
to a lot.”<br />

Have your wheelie bins got their tags?<br />
CHECK YOUR wheelie bins<br />
have been electronically tagged<br />
because those without will soon<br />
stop being emptied.<br />
For the past three years Waste<br />
Management Ltd has been<br />
carrying out a stocktake of<br />
wheelie bins for the city council.<br />
As part of the stocktake, they<br />
have been fitting the wheelie bins<br />
allocated to each property with a<br />
radio frequency identification tag<br />
that emits a short range signal.<br />
<strong>The</strong> signal can be picked up<br />
by the kerbside collection trucks<br />
and used to identify if a bin is<br />
on a property where it does not<br />
belong.<br />
<strong>The</strong> RFID tags will help identify<br />
lost or stolen bins and reduce<br />
the cost of the kerbside collection<br />
by ensuring only bins that people<br />
are entitled to, and have paid for,<br />
are being emptied.<br />
“We are nearing the end of the<br />
stocktake, which means that most<br />
wheelie bins should have been<br />
tagged by now. You can tell if your<br />
bin has been tagged because it will<br />
have a small reflective sticker on<br />
the side,’’ city council solid waste<br />
manager Ross Trotter said.<br />

Lost in Bottle Lake Forest<br />
Calls for<br />
more<br />
signage<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
BOTTLE LAKE Forest Park is a<br />
haven for walkers, runners and<br />
cyclists. But, it’s not all fun and<br />
games.<br />
A lack of signage at the forest<br />
is causing people to get lost and<br />
has resulted in police call-outs.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city<br />
council says<br />
there is enough<br />
signage already<br />
and people who<br />
get lost will<br />
eventually be<br />
found.<br />
Glenn<br />
Livingstone<br />
Tim Baker<br />
“While there<br />
is the occasional<br />
lost park user,<br />
the forest’s<br />
popularity is such<br />
that it is only a<br />
temporary issue<br />
until someone<br />
comes along,”<br />
city council<br />
staff told the<br />
Coastal-Burwood<br />
Community<br />
Board, which has asked for more<br />
and better signage.<br />
<strong>The</strong> community board was<br />
also told: “Bottle Lake Forest<br />
Park has sign panels at every<br />
major entranceway, as well as<br />
sign panels placed in strategic<br />
locations throughout the forest;<br />
eight in total. Maps of the forest<br />
are available freely from the<br />
information centre and Spencer<br />
Park, as well as being available<br />
for download off the web.”<br />
But Burwood Ward city<br />
councillor Glenn Livingstone<br />
and board member Tim Baker<br />
said this was not good enough.<br />
Said Cr Livingstone: “I’ve been<br />
there when police have turned<br />
up looking for someone and<br />
they are there quite regularly, so<br />
with better signage, it could help<br />
reduce police call-out time to<br />
Bottle Lake.”<br />
Police search and rescue<br />
co-ordinator Sergeant Phil<br />
Simmonds told <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> on<br />
average there are between five<br />
and 10 call-outs a year for people<br />
who get lost in Bottle Lake<br />
Forest Park.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y include young children<br />
separated from their families<br />
and lost walkers.<br />
“People are usually located<br />
quite quickly due to the size of<br />
the park and also the fact there<br />
is good cellphone coverage<br />
YOU ARE WHERE? <strong>The</strong> lack<br />
of signage at Bottle Lake<br />
Forest Park has resulted<br />
in people getting lost and<br />
police call-outs.<br />
in most of the forest. Police<br />
encourage people heading out<br />
into the forest to take note of the<br />
available maps and track names,<br />
and always go prepared,” he said.<br />
Mr Baker said the signage<br />
currently in place is too vague<br />
and there is not enough.<br />
He has been lost in the park on<br />
his bike before.<br />
“I for one have got lost in there<br />
when it’s starting to get dark and<br />
it wasn’t a nice feeling.”<br />
Mr Baker said more small<br />
signs, saying things like “Bottle<br />
Lake Car Park 1km” are<br />
necessary.<br />
<strong>The</strong> community board has<br />
asked city council staff to<br />
discuss the cost and logistics of<br />
installing more signage with it.<br />

Fire near airport<br />
not suspicious<br />
A fire at a quarry shed near<br />
Christchurch Airport yesterday<br />
morning is no longer being<br />
treated as suspicious. Fire<br />
and Emergency New Zealand<br />
fire investigator Jason Hobbs<br />
confirmed the cause of the fire<br />
was accidental and there is no<br />
evidence it was deliberately lit.<br />
Four crews fought the blaze at<br />
the Frews Contracting quarry<br />
on Savills Rd, near Pound Rd, at<br />
4.40am.<br />
Mother-of-two<br />
dies in car crash<br />
Tai Tarulata Dixon, 41, a<br />
Selwyn mother-of-two and<br />
midwife, was killed in a crash<br />
on her way to work on Sunday.<br />
Emergency services were called<br />
to the crash at the intersection<br />
of Sandy Knolls and West<br />
Coast Rds, West Melton, about<br />
9.50pm. <strong>The</strong> serious crash unit is<br />
investigating.<br />
Chaneys Rd on-ramp<br />
closed from today<br />
<strong>The</strong> Chaneys Rd on-ramp will<br />
be closed from today for the next<br />
four months. <strong>The</strong> New Zealand<br />
Transport Agency is widening<br />
the road under Chaneys bridge<br />
as part of the Northern Corridor<br />
project. <strong>The</strong> on-ramp will be<br />
reopened from early October<br />
until mid-2020, when the<br />
Northern Corridor is expected<br />
to be complete.<br />
Crashes lead to plan<br />
to drop speed limits<br />
More than 250 crashes in<br />
Marshland, Spencerville and<br />
Kainga over the last six years<br />
have led to a proposal to drop<br />
speed limits. Public feedback<br />
has opened on a plan to lower<br />
a number of 80km/h and<br />
70km/h areas to 60km/h around<br />
Marshland/Main North Rds<br />
from south of QE II Drive<br />
to north of the Waimakariri<br />
Bridge, Spencerville Rd<br />
and Kainga Rd, and west of<br />
Marshland Rd. It comes as longterm<br />
road safety data from the<br />
New Zealand Transport Agency<br />
suggests speed limits across New<br />
Zealand are too high.<br />

Current vaccine ‘a<br />
very good match’<br />
•From page 1<br />
“In part that has caused a few<br />
problems for patients in that<br />
quite a lot of patients weren’t<br />
going to get their flu vaccination<br />
until <strong>June</strong>, anticipating<br />
that the flu<br />
will arrive in July,”<br />
said Dr Schroeder.<br />
In New Zealand,<br />
flu-related illnesses<br />
cause about 400<br />
deaths a year and<br />
account for 45 per<br />
cent of sick days<br />
each winter.<br />
However, Canterbury<br />
Employers’<br />
Chamber of Commerce chief<br />
executive Leeann Watson said<br />
employers are not yet seeing<br />
anything over and above business<br />
as usual.<br />
“Anecdotally we have seen a<br />
few more people coming down<br />
with colds and coughs, which<br />
is pretty much expected at this<br />
time of the year.<br />
“What we have seen more<br />
of over the past few years is<br />
employers providing and encouraging<br />
their team to get flu<br />
vaccinations . . . at the end of the<br />
day it is in everyone’s best interest<br />
to keep well,” she said.<br />
Latest figures from Australia<br />
show there have been nearly<br />
59,000 confirmed cases of the<br />
flu so far this year, compared<br />
to about 14,000 for the same<br />
period last year and close to 100<br />
deaths have been<br />
recorded so far.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re was a<br />
stark warning<br />
in the weekend<br />
when promising<br />
20-year-old<br />
league player<br />
Zae Wallace died<br />
from an infection<br />
caused by the flu<br />
on Saturday in<br />
Auckland.<br />
He had been in an induced<br />
coma in Auckland City Hospital<br />
since April and is one of three<br />
others around the country who<br />
have died from the flu so far this<br />
year, including a 12-year-old and<br />
a 62-year-old.<br />
So far more than 1<strong>06</strong>,000<br />
people in Canterbury have been<br />
vaccinated against the flu, about<br />
19 per cent of the population.<br />
Dr Schroeder said<br />
“encouraging” results were<br />
coming out of Australian studies<br />
to show the current vaccine<br />
is proving to be a “very good<br />
match” for the strains of flu that<br />
are being detected.<br />

New crossing brings tears of joy<br />
•From page 1<br />
It was not removed and<br />
$15,000 was spent on its upgrade,<br />
it was painted bright red.<br />
“When Deon [Swiggs]<br />
mentioned that it was going to<br />

I thought I should wait until I<br />
actually see it,” she said.<br />
“I sort of thought it was still<br />

When she was taken from her<br />
hospice care to see the crossing<br />
for the first time, she cried with<br />
happiness.<br />
Locally, it is known as “Gillian’s<br />
crossing” – but Ms Sheard<br />
insists that she didn’t lobby for<br />
herself.<br />
“This is the people’s crossing,”<br />
she said.<br />
Her passion is the Richmond<br />

Ms Sheard said she has spent<br />
the last few years advocating for<br />
the area and working as a neighbourhood<br />

City councillor Deon Swiggs<br />
helped lobby internally at the city<br />
council for the crossing upgrade<br />
after staff recommended it be<br />
removed.<br />
“I really wanted to get it done<br />

A CHRISTCHURCH teen<br />
being monitored after he was<br />
caught plotting a 2017 terror<br />
attack sparked a manhunt last<br />
week after he walked out of his<br />
supervised accommodation.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 19-year-old, who cannot<br />
be named for legal reasons,<br />
said he felt frightened when he<br />
escaped.<br />
He walked to a city Burger<br />
King, which reminded him of<br />
when his mother used to take<br />
him there when he was feeling<br />
low, the district court was told<br />
yesterday.<br />
After withdrawing some cash,<br />
he was planning to flag a taxi for<br />
his mother’s house when he was<br />
tracked down, the New Zealand<br />
Herald reported.<br />
Yesterday, he admitted<br />
breaching his intensive<br />
supervision order, which he was<br />
sentenced to in February last year.<br />
He was radicalised online and<br />
had planned to ram a car into a<br />
group of people in Christchurch<br />
and then stab them. He told police<br />
that he’d “done it for Allah”.<br />
<strong>The</strong> teenager has been<br />
regularly seeing a judge for<br />
judicial monitoring sessions and<br />
this year has already admitted<br />
three breaches of the intensive<br />
supervision order, including<br />
two which came after he used<br />
his mother’s phone to view<br />
pornography.<br />
After he was picked up last<br />
week, he has been kept in prison.<br />
<strong>The</strong> jail time has proved a<br />
wake-up call, with him telling<br />
Judge Stephen O’Driscoll<br />
yesterday that he is “not built for<br />
prison”.<br />
In a heartfelt letter that he<br />
penned from his jail cell, the teen<br />
said how he’d felt threatened<br />
when he walked out.<br />
He hadn’t seen his mother for<br />
three weeks and was trying to get<br />
to her, where he felt safe, he said.<br />
“Please forgive me, your<br />
honour,” said the remorseful<br />
youth.<br />
He acknowledged that “recent<br />
events in Christchurch” might<br />
have some people worried about<br />
him walking away.<br />
But he assured the court that<br />
he had promised never to return<br />
to extremism. At an earlier court<br />
news online at www.star.kiwi<br />
Another chance for teen<br />
hearing, he said how the March<br />
15 mosque terror attack had<br />
helped him reflect on his own<br />
earlier extremist thinking.<br />
Judge O’Driscoll last month<br />
warned the teenager that if he<br />
didn’t control his anger and<br />
emotions, he faced being sent to<br />
prison.<br />
Judge O’Driscoll yesterday<br />
granted him bail back to his<br />
supervised accommodation, but<br />
warned him he was running out<br />
of chances.<br />
<strong>The</strong> judge thanked him for<br />
the impressive letter, opening<br />
himself up to his thoughts,<br />
feelings and emotions.<br />
“I’m prepared to give you<br />
another chance. I have given<br />
you many chances and some<br />
would say I have given you too<br />
many.”<br />

he was warned that any further<br />
abusive behaviour toward staff<br />
would result in him being<br />
discharged, meaning that he<br />
would be without approved<br />
accommodation.<br />
In April, McIntosh was verbally<br />
abusive toward staff again.<br />
“He had disregarded the rules<br />
of the service, which resulted<br />
in him being discharged. He<br />
therefore had no approved<br />
accommodation and was<br />
charged with breaching the<br />
conditions of his order,” said Ms<br />
O’Brien-Smith.<br />
He was convicted and<br />
sentenced to three months<br />
imprisonment.<br />
“In accordance with the<br />
Parole Act 2002, prisoners who<br />
are serving a sentence of less<br />
than two years imprisonment<br />
are automatically released after<br />
serving half of their sentence.<br />
<strong>The</strong> offender was released from<br />
prison on May 17 and returned<br />
to reside at approved supported<br />
accommodation,” said Ms<br />
O’Brien-Smith.<br />

JAKE MCLELLAN has lived<br />
in Addington, Phillipstown,<br />
Linwood and the central city – he<br />
knows the area like the back of<br />
his hand.<br />
That’s why the Linwood-<br />
Central-Heathcote Community<br />
Board deputy chairman and<br />
Labour Party outreach support<br />
worker has been named to stand<br />
against Deon Swiggs in the local<br />
body elections for <strong>The</strong> People’s<br />
Choice.<br />
Mr McLellan moved to Christchurch<br />
from Invercargill when he<br />
was 10.<br />
“I’ve essentially lived in innercity<br />
Christchurch for most of my<br />
life,” he said.<br />
Now at 27, he wants to help<br />
tackle some of the area’s biggest<br />
issues from the council table, including<br />
the city’s public transport,<br />
the living wage and revitalising<br />
the Linwood Village area.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> council’s been very, very<br />
slow in terms of how to deal with<br />
that area.”<br />
He said alcohol ban was not<br />
working and more needed to be<br />
done to address ongoing social<br />
issues.<br />
But Mr McLellan knows he<br />
has a tough opponent in Cr<br />
Swiggs – who was elected to the<br />
city council in 2016, beating <strong>The</strong><br />
People’s Choice candidate Vicki<br />

It was the first time the seat<br />
could be contested.<br />
“It’s going to be an interesting<br />
one,” Mr McLellan said. “I’m<br />
excited.”<br />
Cr Swiggs said he was “looking<br />
forward” to the election campaign.<br />
“This is democracy and anyone<br />
can stand. I’m looking forward to<br />
good, robust debate about community<br />
issues.”<br />
It is a tricky ward as there was<br />
a high number of transient residents,<br />
he said.<br />
“I’ve worked my backside off<br />
for three years . . . I want to keep<br />
going on the projects I’ve been<br />
working on.”<br />
That included an alcohol ban<br />

area’s overall revitalisation, work<br />

VICKI BUCK is one of the city’s<br />
most well known and longest<br />
standing politicians.<br />
But that is not stopping<br />
23-year-old financial adviser<br />
and Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community Board member<br />
Catherine Chu from taking on<br />
the former mayor for the city<br />
council’s Riccarton Ward seat.<br />
Ms Chu has lived in the<br />
Riccarton Ward her whole life<br />
and will run in the October 12<br />
local body elections under the<br />
centre-right Independent Citizens<br />
banner.<br />
“I have thoroughly enjoyed<br />
my work on the community<br />
board and my strong involvement<br />
with the diverse communities<br />
in our ward. Over the past six<br />
months I have been approached<br />
by many local residents<br />
encouraging me to stand for<br />
council,” she said.<br />
“It is clear Riccarton residents<br />
want change. I offer a fresh<br />
perspective and will work hard to<br />
represent local views at council,<br />
it’s time council listened.”<br />
Cr Buck was first elected to the<br />
city council in 1975 when she was<br />
19 and became the first female<br />
mayor in 1989.<br />
In the 2016 election, she ran<br />
unopposed. But she welcomes Ms<br />
Chu’s bid.<br />
“That’s the nature of local<br />
government,” she said.<br />

Cr Buck said she was<br />
concerned about Independent<br />
Citizens lobbying for asset sales.<br />
“No concern with the person,<br />
just some concern with the policies.”<br />
She would be focusing on the<br />
“pile of issues” she still wants to<br />
tackle.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> threat we face with water<br />
is the big one,” Cr Buck said.<br />
She said it was “incredibly<br />
scary” thinking about the<br />
increasing nitrate levels in the<br />
water.<br />
But there was also the potential<br />
for permanent chlorination<br />
and loss of control over three<br />
waters services to lobby against.<br />
“And obviously climate<br />
change. <strong>The</strong>re’s a lot of work<br />
we won’t have finalised by the<br />
end of this term, which is<br />
what’s motivating me to keep<br />
going.”<br />
Ms Chu is not ignorant of<br />
the challenge she will face<br />
campaigning against Cr<br />
Buck.<br />
“I’m really excited,” she said.<br />
“I’ve already said this to Vicki,<br />
she does an amazing job. I’m<br />
doing it because I’m passionate<br />
about Riccarton and Christchurch<br />
. . . my intentions are to<br />
represent the community, not<br />
beat someone.”<br />
Ms Chu said Cr Buck was an<br />
“inspiration” behind her running<br />
at a young age.<br />
“I want to encourage more<br />
Vicki Buck<br />
Catherine Chu<br />
younger people, more diverse<br />
people to get into local<br />
government – whether that’s<br />
council or community board,”<br />
she said.<br />

WEAK, SOFT ground has seen<br />
a bridge on the controversial<br />
$240 million Northern Corridor<br />
needing to be rebuilt.<br />
<strong>The</strong> poor condition of the<br />
ground has been an ongoing issue<br />
with the project and although<br />
the New Zealand Transport<br />
Agency project team took it into<br />
consideration, the QE II Drive<br />
overbridge settled further than<br />
expected.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> team has reviewed<br />
options to fix this and the<br />
best long-term option, which<br />
provides the greatest surety, is to<br />
deconstruct the walls, add new<br />
piles and construct the walls<br />
again,” NZTA portfolio manager<br />
Colin MacKay said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> very weak ground has<br />
caused the abutment walls to<br />
move horizontally slightly<br />
more during construction than<br />
the design allows. <strong>The</strong> option<br />
of installing additional piles<br />
and reconstructing the walls<br />
provides the greatest long-term<br />
resilience.”<br />
Mr MacKay said the redo<br />
would be covered within the<br />
existing budget and it would still<br />
be on-track to open mid-next<br />
year.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> team has the equipment,<br />
crew and materials already in<br />
place and they expect to finish<br />
the reconstruction of the bridge<br />
abutments and walls within the<br />
current programme and within<br />
budget.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> issue was discovered<br />
early and so was a solution, he<br />
said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> design and construction<br />
of the bridge is unchanged. This<br />
additional work will stabilise the<br />
ground beneath the bridge giving<br />
it good, long-term resilience.”<br />
Further piling work at QE II<br />
Drive will start in August.<br />
It comes as the Papanui-<br />

Overbridge to be rebuilt<br />
PROBLEM: <strong>The</strong> Norther Corridor’s QE II Drive overbridge is<br />
being reconstructed after it was discovered it had sunk in<br />
the weak ground.<br />
recommending the city council<br />
take another look at traffic<br />
mitigation measures.<br />
<strong>The</strong> motorway, which runs<br />
from the Waimakariri district<br />
through to Cranford St, is expected<br />
to boost traffic through St<br />
Albans by 30 per cent.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re have been a number of<br />
options suggested to off-set the<br />
amount including a rapid bus<br />
service, a high occupancy vehicle<br />
land and park and ride facilities.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council will make a<br />

in July.<br />
Cruising behaviour<br />
new term for boy racers<br />
• By Georgia O’Connor-<br />
Harding<br />
IF YOU are hooning around in<br />
the western suburbs of the city,<br />
you now won’t be labelled a “boy<br />
racer” by community leaders.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community Board has<br />
renamed the term “boy racing”<br />
to “cruising behaviour” following<br />
concerns the words were not<br />
appropriate.<br />
<strong>The</strong> topic emerged when<br />
deputy chairwoman Helen<br />
Broughton filed a motion calling<br />
for increased enforcement<br />
of police against boy racers on<br />
Deans Ave.<br />
Before the motion was<br />
brought to the board the term<br />
was changed to “cruising behaviour”<br />
due to concerns from<br />
in brief<br />
Pay bills at Papanui<br />
Service Centre<br />
People wanting to post letters<br />
and pay bills will be able to<br />
do it all at the city council’s<br />
Papanui Service Centre. Postal<br />
services have been offered from<br />
the service centre since the<br />
start of February, but now it<br />
will become a full agent for NZ<br />
Post. Upgrades will be made<br />
to the centre over the next few<br />
weeks to accommodate the<br />
board chairman Mike Mora.<br />
“If you are a girl for an example<br />
driving a car, you are not a<br />
boy racer are you? If you are a<br />
25-year-old or a 38-year-old you<br />
are not a boy racer,” he said.<br />
His other concern was the city<br />
council has a “no cruising bylaw”<br />
in place, not a “boy racer”<br />
bylaw.<br />
Daniel Cossar, who organised<br />
the notorious Aves Invasion<br />
event over Easter, said the term<br />
“boy racer” is not offensive at all<br />
and people can call them what<br />
they like.<br />
Canterbury metro police area<br />
commander Superintendent<br />
Lane Todd said the term “boy<br />
racer” has sometimes been an<br />
issue and police instead call<br />
them anti-social road users.<br />
extra services and improve<br />
customer experience.<br />
Price hike at Lichfield<br />
St parking building<br />
<strong>The</strong> all-day parking rate at the<br />
Lichfield St parking building is<br />
set to increase from $10 to $15<br />
to free up more parking spaces<br />
for central city shoppers. <strong>The</strong>re is<br />
now high demand for short stay<br />
parking and the parking building<br />
regularly nears capacity.<br />

World championship<br />
event for drummer<br />
• By Jess Gibson<br />
ST ANDREW’S College student<br />
Monte Stamm has drummed up a<br />
spot on the world stage.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 15-year-old snare drummer<br />
will travel to Glasgow, Scotland, in<br />
October to compete at the World<br />
Solo Drumming Championships.<br />
“I am feeling really excited about<br />
the world championships. This<br />
year will be my first time going to<br />
the world championships for solo<br />
drumming,” Monte said.<br />
Monte was crowned Australian<br />
young snare drummer of the year<br />
in a competition held at <strong>The</strong> Scots<br />
School Albury, New South Wales,<br />
on May 25.<br />
Because it was the first year of<br />
the Australian young drummer<br />
competition, Monte is the first to<br />
hold the title.<br />
<strong>The</strong> prize was a A$1500 travel<br />
voucher, which Monte will put<br />
towards his trip to Glasgow.<br />
Monte also aims to buy a new<br />
andante drum before his trip<br />
which he will use to compete.<br />
He began playing the drum at<br />
five-years-old at <strong>The</strong> Scots School<br />
Albury and moved to Christchurch<br />
in 2017 to improve his drumming<br />
skills at St Andrew’s College,<br />
where he was offered a scholarship.<br />
Monte has received tutoring<br />
from world champion pipe band<br />
SKILLED: St Andrew’s College<br />
student Monte Stamm is set<br />
to compete as a solo snare<br />
drummer at international<br />
level.<br />
snare drummer James Laughlin<br />
and is the leading drummer of<br />
the college pipe band, directed by<br />
internationally-recognised piper<br />
Richard Hawke.<br />
Monte went to the World Pipe<br />
Band Championships in Scotland<br />
with the St Andrew’s College band<br />
last year.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> pipe band at St Andrew’s<br />
College is awesome. We have<br />
great tutors and committed and<br />
hard-working band members. <strong>The</strong><br />
relationships and skills we learn<br />
in the pipe band are like no other<br />
team,” Monte said.<br />

EVA HAEREWA does not want<br />
anyone to go through what she<br />
did when her sister was killed in<br />
a cycle accident.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Christchurch South Intermediate<br />
year 8 pupil has created<br />
a plan with her friend Jazz<br />
Thorman, 12, to make it safer<br />
for young people to ride their<br />
bikes on roads and cycleways.<br />
In April 2014, Eva’s older sister<br />
Sharla Haerewa,<br />
22, was killed<br />
when she was<br />
hit by a truck on<br />
Lincoln Rd. <strong>The</strong><br />
nursing student<br />
was on her way<br />
to work when a<br />
75-year-old truck<br />
driver took a turn<br />
Haerewa<br />
without seeing her. She was hit<br />
and pulled under the truck. <strong>The</strong><br />
driver pleaded guilty to careless<br />
driving causing death and was<br />
sentenced to pay reparations<br />
and disqualified from driving<br />
for eight months.<br />
Last year Eva was also<br />
knocked off her bike by a<br />
vehicle while she was cycling to<br />
school. She was lucky to come<br />
away with minor injuries, but<br />
said she was shaken after the<br />
incident.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>se are the reasons why<br />

With funding help from<br />
Youth Voice Canterbury’s ‘big<br />

Beggars, homeless and drinking<br />
A number of strategies<br />
have been tried and<br />
tested in the Linwood<br />
Village area including<br />
a liquor ban. But it has<br />
been dealt yet another<br />
blow with the closing of<br />
SuperValue last week,<br />
Julia Evans reports<br />
THE SHELVES were nearly<br />
empty and almost everything was<br />
on special – including last year’s<br />
Christmas paper.<br />
Instead of beggars outside,<br />
there was a steady stream of<br />
people making their way in<br />
and out of the Stanmore Rd<br />
SuperValue to get a deal before it<br />
closed.<br />
Friday was the store’s last<br />
trading day, it was shutting up for<br />
good.<br />
But it seemed owner Choy<br />
Ming Lee wanted to leave quickly<br />
and quietly, without making a<br />
fuss.<br />
He declined to be interviewed<br />
by <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong>.<br />
Mr Lee had previously said<br />
drinking and begging outside<br />
the store was putting shoppers<br />
off – they were too intimidated to<br />
enter.<br />
Last year the city council<br />
approved a permanent liquor<br />
ban for streets around the village<br />
bound by Fitzgerald Ave, Armagh<br />
St, England St and Hereford St,<br />
including Doris Lusk Reserve.<br />
But beggars and people<br />
drinking outside the shops are<br />
still the main reason Steve Joseph,<br />
who owns Hibbards Butchery on<br />
the opposite side of Stanmore Rd<br />
said he is also leaving.<br />
Once his tenancy was up, the<br />
business would be the next store<br />
to close – he’s already purchased<br />
another butchery to move into<br />
and will leave Linwood when his<br />
lease runs out mid-2020.<br />
However, Mr Joseph said it was<br />
not quite as bad since the alcohol<br />
ban had come in.<br />
“But I’ve had customers<br />
phone in and say they would<br />
love to shop here but they won’t<br />
anymore,” he said.<br />
Police drive through and don’t<br />
stop to move people on, he said.<br />
“Losing the supermarket is a<br />
big blow, but it’s just the area.”<br />
Mr Joseph was waiting to see<br />
how losing the supermarket<br />
would impact the area, but he<br />
predicted it would soon be empty<br />
of any shoppers at all.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> street’s going to be a ghost<br />
town,” he said.<br />
“I can’t imagine how many<br />
customers we are losing because<br />
of all the drinking and smoking.”<br />
One of his customers Lisa<br />
Howard, who has lived in the area<br />
for more than 20 years, said she<br />
doesn’t go to the butchery often<br />
any more because of the people<br />
begging outside.<br />
“I haven’t been down to the<br />
butcher since people started<br />
drinking outside . . . I love the<br />
butcher,” she said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> fact that the supermarket<br />
was going would impact the<br />
whole area, she said.<br />
“It’s going to affect a lot of<br />
elderly people and people who<br />
live nearby, for a lot of people its<br />
only a hop, skip and a jump,” Ms<br />
Howard said.<br />
“I don’t blame him, it’s not his<br />
fault.”<br />
However, she said the liquor<br />
ban had made a different and<br />
there were other initiatives, like<br />
the tiny shops, a hub for smallscale<br />
community businesses such<br />
as bike repairs, and other work by<br />
Te Whare Roimata, which were<br />
helping.<br />
“It’s hard to tell the difference<br />
between beggars and the<br />
homeless. If they’re genuinely<br />
homeless, I would like to see<br />
them get a home,” she said.<br />
Armagh St resident Adam Calje<br />
said SuperValue closing was a<br />
“major loss” for the area.<br />
“It’s angered me that the<br />
beggars have done this. I’ve got<br />
half a dozen neighbours I know<br />
that won’t come down to these<br />
shops at all,” he said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> whole area is dying.”<br />
Mr Calje said the SuperValue<br />
was convenient and cheap for<br />
those who lived on the south<br />
side of the Avon River, compared<br />
to New World more than 1km<br />
DAMAGE: It was 3pm when <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> visited Linwood Village<br />
and a man was urinating in broad daylight.<br />
FED UP:<br />
Hibbards<br />
Butchery<br />
owner Steve<br />
Joseph is<br />
planning<br />
on leaving<br />
the Linwood<br />
Village area.<br />
away along Stanmore Rd.<br />
“I don’t understand why they<br />
don’t have this problem on the<br />
other side of the river,” he said.<br />
“I resent the fact I’m going to<br />
have to walk further to go to the<br />
supermarket.”<br />
Mr Calje has witnessed major<br />
fights, drinking, drug use and<br />
been approached by women<br />
offering sexual favours in broad<br />
daylight.<br />
When <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> visited last<br />
week, a man placed his open<br />
can of bourbon on top of the<br />
Kiwibank ATM before he went<br />
and urinated up against the fence.<br />
It was 3pm.<br />
Mr Calje said he would drive<br />
around the block to go into the<br />
supermarket through the back<br />
door so he didn’t have to walk<br />
past the beggars.<br />
“But the neighbourhood has<br />
improved in some ways,” he said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> alcohol ban had helped, but<br />
not enough.<br />
“Before the earthquake, it used<br />
to be quite a vibrant shopping<br />
area,” Mr Calje said.<br />
Now he’s made it his mission to<br />
bring attention to the issues and<br />
get some action.
damage village<br />
“I’ve spoken to police, Deon<br />
[Swiggs] and now I’ve got an<br />
appointment with Duncan Webb,”<br />
he said.<br />
“If I die trying, I’m going to<br />
help.”<br />
Mr Calje said there was a<br />
distinct police presence in the<br />
area a while ago, but it had<br />
dropped off as time went on.<br />
Superintendent Lane Todd<br />
said resources had been<br />
diverted since the March 15 terror<br />
attack.<br />
“We are aware of concerns and<br />
have been in touch with local<br />
businesses to offer reassurance.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Neighbourhood Policing<br />
Team will be resuming duties in<br />
Linwood Village in the coming<br />
weeks,” he said.<br />
“Police strongly encourage<br />
anyone who feels threatened<br />
or unsafe due to anti-social<br />
behaviour to notify police<br />
immediately, so we can respond<br />
as appropriate. We want the<br />
public to be safe, and feel safe.’’<br />
Improving the area has been<br />
on the radar of Central Ward city<br />
councillor Deon Swiggs since he<br />
was elected in 2016.<br />
“It’s a local supermarket and<br />
a huge loss of amenity for local<br />
residents,” he said.<br />
“But there’s a lot of potential in<br />
the area, just a lot of deep-seated<br />
social issues to overcome.”<br />
Cr Swiggs lobbied hard for the<br />
alcohol ban – but said there was<br />
still a lot more to be done and in<br />
spite of the supermarket leaving,<br />
hope was not lost.<br />
“We do need to do more. I<br />
think the area needs a special<br />
regeneration. <strong>The</strong> success of the<br />
central city is dependent on the<br />
suburbs around it,” he said.<br />
However, Cr Swiggs said it was<br />
more than just drinking, there<br />
were mental health issues.<br />
A city council spokesperson<br />
said about 60 per cent of the area’s<br />
commercial buildings were lost in<br />
the earthquake.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re were concerns over<br />
the recent loss of the supermarket.<br />
“Anchors play an important<br />
role in centres, and the loss of an<br />
anchor such as a supermarket<br />
may impact the vibrancy of a<br />
centre.”<br />
However, work is ongoing in<br />
the area’s redevelopment.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> Linwood Village Master<br />
Plan was developed with the<br />
community and adopted in<br />
August 2012 to support the<br />
recovery of the commercial<br />
centre.”<br />
Work to date includes landscape<br />
improvements at Doris Lusk Park,<br />

WATER AND the state of<br />
roads are the two major sources<br />
of discontent with the city’s<br />
residents.<br />
<strong>The</strong> point of contact survey<br />
and the general service satisfaction<br />
survey are two of the<br />
measures the city council uses<br />
to gauge its performance and to<br />
identify areas for<br />
improvement.<br />
<strong>The</strong> condition of<br />
roads and footpaths<br />
and the quality of<br />
the water remain a<br />
source of discontent<br />
for people – 27 per<br />
cent of people were<br />
happy with the state<br />
of the roads and 37<br />
per cent with water<br />
quality.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> findings of these surveys<br />
are valuable because they highlight<br />
the areas where residents<br />
feel we need to do better,’’ chief<br />
executive Karleen Edwards said.<br />
“For example, it is clear from<br />
the point of contact survey<br />
results that residents want better<br />
maintenance and upkeep of our<br />
community parks, wharves and<br />
jetties, and cemeteries. That is<br />
something elected members<br />
will be able to take into account<br />
when they meet over the next<br />
few weeks to finalise the city<br />
council’s budget and work<br />
programme for the next 12<br />
months.”<br />
Dr Edwards said the survey<br />
findings also show residents<br />
don’t fully understand city<br />
council decision-making<br />
processes or how they can get<br />
involved.<br />
“That is something we need to<br />
address,” she said.<br />
“We need to make sure we are<br />
communicating effectively with<br />
all sectors of our community<br />
and that everyone feels they can<br />
engage with us on the issues<br />
they care about,’’ Dr Edwards<br />
says.<br />
<strong>The</strong> general service satisfaction<br />
survey shows 62 per cent<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> Thursday <strong>June</strong> 6 <strong>2019</strong><br />
NEWS 13<br />
Residents have<br />
mixed feelings for<br />
council – surveys<br />
of those surveyed are generally<br />
satisfied with the council’s performance<br />
– up from 55 per cent<br />
last year.<br />
“One of the most pleasing<br />
findings of the point of<br />
contact survey is that 86 per<br />
cent of those who were asked<br />
about their interactions with<br />
city council staff said<br />
they found them to be<br />
friendly, approachable<br />
and helpful,” Dr Edwards<br />
said.<br />
“We have put a lot<br />
of focus on improving<br />
our customer service<br />
and ensuring that we<br />
put the needs of our<br />
Karleen residents first so I’m very<br />
Edwards pleased with this result,<br />
although there is still<br />
room for improvement.”<br />
In the general service satisfaction<br />
survey roading remains the<br />
most commonly cited area for<br />
improvement, followed by water<br />
supply.<br />
“We know the condition of<br />
our roads and footpaths remains<br />
an issue and we are spending<br />
an unprecedented amount of<br />
money to try and improve the<br />
situation,’’ Dr Edwards said.<br />
“Before the earthquakes we<br />
spent about $70 million a year,<br />
in today’s dollars, on maintaining,<br />
renewing and upgrading<br />
the city’s roads and footpaths. In<br />
this current year we are spending<br />
$86 million.”<br />
She said it was also investing<br />
in the water supply.<br />
“Unfortunately we have had to<br />
chlorinate the water while that<br />
work is done. As a result we have<br />
seen satisfaction with the quality<br />
of our water drop from 79 per<br />
cent last year to 37 per cent,” she<br />
said.<br />
“By the end of May about<br />
90 per cent of Christchurch’s<br />
water supply is expected to be<br />
chlorine-free and we are working<br />
to remove the chlorine from<br />
the remaining water supply as<br />
quickly as possible.”<br />

OUR PEOPLE – AXEL WILKE<br />
<strong>The</strong> Axel that keeps Chch moving<br />
FUTURE: Axel Wilke became a transport engineer to<br />
save himself from going “crazy” working at his parents<br />
supermarket in Germany. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
With a name like Axel Wilke, it was only natural the transport consultant’s career would<br />
involve cars, bikes, buses, scooters and skateboards. He speaks to Julia Evans about his<br />
midlife crisis at 24-years-old and the time he royally messed up an intersection<br />
How did you get into the<br />
transport field?<br />
I had my midlife crisis when<br />
I was 24. What happened to<br />
me, I was running my parents<br />
supermarket and had been<br />
doing that for a few years and I<br />
was just absolutely bored. I was<br />
not doing anything with my<br />
brain and I was so frustrated.<br />
It was actually quite funny. We<br />
belonged to a chain, half of the<br />
people running supermarkets<br />
were owner/operators, and every<br />
couple of weeks, 300 of us from<br />
the northern region would come<br />
together and spend an afternoon<br />
together. What I wasn’t quite<br />
sure about was whether you had<br />
to be crazy in order to do this<br />
job long-term or whether doing<br />
this job long-term turned you<br />
crazy. Either way, I didn’t want to<br />
find out. So what I did with my<br />
midlife crisis is I decided I needed<br />
to study something and so one<br />
of my really core interests was<br />
sustainable transport. I was mad<br />
in that area, so I thought, why<br />
don’t I just study that? I asked<br />
around and I was told you have<br />
to become a civil engineer for<br />
that. I thought how strange, but<br />
never mind, so I became a civil<br />
engineer. I was halfway through<br />
my degree when my girlfriend<br />
said she was going to move back<br />
to New Zealand. She was a Kiwi.<br />
She’s not in the picture any longer.<br />
Anyway I was halfway through<br />
my degree and I visited her here<br />
over Christmas and checked out<br />
the universities. At Canterbury,<br />
they said I could finish my degree<br />
here, not a problem. I graduated<br />
from Canterbury in 1997. A few<br />
years later I went back and did my<br />
masters at Canterbury.<br />
But you never finished your<br />
PhD?<br />
When I finished my masters,<br />
my lecturer tried really hard to<br />
talk me into carrying on with<br />
a PhD and I said “yeah, nah.”<br />
After uni I started my first job at<br />
Christchurch City Council and I<br />
was there for eight years. While I<br />
was doing my masters, I was parttime<br />
at the city council still and<br />
went back full-time afterwards.<br />
I absolutely loved my job and<br />
I couldn’t see taking another<br />
three or four years out to study<br />
something full-time. I thought<br />
there’s more fun to be had by<br />
actually getting my hands dirty<br />
and doing stuff.<br />
Did your love of transport<br />
start as a child?<br />
In terms of what I played with<br />
as a kid, it was Lego. I loved going<br />
to my grandparents. <strong>The</strong>y had a<br />
bed seat, you put the seat up and<br />
underneath there was a big box<br />
of Lego. I played with it for hours,<br />
that was the engineer in me. But I<br />
guess I’ve been into cycling since<br />
I started just getting from A to<br />
B when I was five like any kid. I<br />
biked to school 2.5km when I was<br />
in primary school.<br />
Where in Germany are you<br />
from?<br />
I’m from the north-west – the<br />
biggest big city is Hanover. That’s<br />
where I was actually living for a<br />
few years, once as a kid and once<br />
as a young adult. <strong>The</strong> rest of the<br />
time I was living in a tiny village<br />
of less than 3000 people called<br />
Exter.<br />
So you came to Christchurch<br />
following love?<br />
Yes, then I fell in love with<br />
Christchurch. I ditched my<br />
girlfriend – that didn’t really last<br />
that long. Never mind, but the<br />
other love has endured. I came<br />
here and that was it. All of the<br />
rest of my family lives nicely<br />
in Germany, just in one spot<br />
actually. All close together.<br />
But you’re married now?<br />
I am. She’s a Kiwi. How we met<br />
is a funny story all right. We went<br />
tramping in about 1999/2000<br />
and tramped around Mt Fyffe in<br />
Kaikoura. •Turn to page 18<br />

OUR PEOPLE<br />
Planning out the city’s transport system<br />
•From page 16<br />
We spent the whole weekend<br />
together. <strong>The</strong>re were five of us<br />
on that tramp and that was the<br />
only time I had met Julie. <strong>The</strong>n<br />
10 years later, we met again. That<br />
is how you meet these days, Find<br />
Someone, an internet date. It was<br />
before we got together that Julie<br />
showed her best friend my photo<br />
and she said, oh, it’s Axel. Julie<br />
and her best friend had done a<br />
lot of tramping together over the<br />
years. That photo was handed on<br />
to another of her friends and she<br />
said Julie, Axel was on one of our<br />
tramps. We said no, we would<br />
remember each other, wouldn’t<br />
we? We could honestly not<br />
remember each other. My wife’s<br />
recollection of that particular<br />
tramp is that she was tramping<br />
with four other women. But then<br />
the friend said I’ve got photos<br />
of that tramp and there we were<br />
sitting next to each other around<br />
the bonfire. We have absolutely<br />
no recollection of one another.<br />
Chance really stuffed that one up.<br />
Tell me a little bit about<br />
your work, what do you do<br />
day-to-day?<br />
I do a variety of things. I do<br />
safety audits, I design traffic<br />
lights, I do a lot of planning in<br />
the cycling space, I do a lot of<br />
design work. One of the things<br />
I really enjoyed, I did this really<br />
early on in my career. Going<br />
ADVOCACY: Axel Wilke helped redesign the plan to<br />
change Cranford St.<br />
through university I thought,<br />
no wonder nobody knows<br />
what to do because you simply<br />
don’t learn it. I had one lecture,<br />
45min that covered how you<br />
design for pedestrians, how you<br />
design street lights and how you<br />
accommodate cycling. <strong>The</strong> total<br />
of my undergrad for cycling<br />
was 15min. I thought holy s**t.<br />
I gathered a few like-minded<br />
people around me and said why<br />
don’t we get some professional<br />
training up-and-running and we<br />
did. We did it in a very deliberate<br />
way that made this a very slow<br />
process, it took us 18 months to<br />
talk some central Government<br />
agencies into it. We wanted<br />
their money and we didn’t want<br />
their money because we needed<br />
funding to do this, we could’ve<br />
already done it in our own time,<br />
in my case the Christchurch City<br />
Council was very supportive.<br />
We wanted money from central<br />
Government to have skin in the<br />
game. So we’ve been training<br />
since 2003 and have helped 1300<br />
engineers and planners through<br />
professional training. This is<br />
outstandingly influential. We<br />
have turned New Zealand around<br />
from not knowing anything to<br />
it being a lot better. You can see<br />
it up and down the country, it’s<br />
much better. It really didn’t take<br />
long for people to pick it up and<br />
know what to do. It’s fantastic.<br />
Out of that, going back to my day<br />
job, our company ViaStrada, we<br />
do a lot of guideline development<br />
work, engineering and design<br />
development for the Government<br />
and the New Zealand Transport<br />
Agency mostly, which everyone<br />
follows in the country. That<br />
comes out of having this idea<br />
back in 2001, let’s get some<br />
professional training going.<br />
Have you had any funny<br />
transport blunders? What’s<br />
the worst designed road in<br />
Christchurch?<br />
<strong>The</strong> worst designed piece<br />
of road we’re about to have is<br />
Cranford St, immediately north<br />
of Innes Rd. It is absolutely<br />
astonishing. <strong>The</strong> plans are for a<br />
minimum width facility, next to<br />
a minimum width facility, next<br />
to a minimum width facility<br />
and projected traffic volumes of<br />
more than 40,000 vehicles a day.<br />
Unbelievable. My colleague and<br />
I once had a really massive stuff<br />
up. It wasn’t a city intersection.<br />
When a state highway goes<br />
through the city, the NZTA or<br />
back then it was probably still<br />
Transit New Zealand – they are<br />
the road patrolling authority –<br />
they had an intersection where<br />
they changed the form of control<br />
from roundabout to traffic<br />
lights. <strong>The</strong>y ran the plan by the<br />
city council for sign-off and the<br />
transport planners thought this<br />
doesn’t look quite right, so they<br />
gave it to us designers to have a<br />
look at. A colleague of mine and<br />
I, we looked over it. What we did<br />
is we put these little post-it notes,<br />
tiny ones, whenever we found<br />
something wrong with the design<br />
on the big A1 plan and said what<br />
was wrong with it. When we<br />
finished, you couldn’t see the<br />
design any longer, the whole plan<br />
was covered. <strong>The</strong> guys made the<br />
decision rather than send it back<br />
to the consultants, why don’t we<br />
design it ourselves. We designed<br />
it with the city’s feedback and<br />
said here was a design that will<br />
work. Transit said thank you<br />
very much, it didn’t cost them<br />
a cent, ratepayers paid for it. So<br />
they built that thing, it opened<br />
and there was a crash once a day.<br />
We were absolutely horrified.<br />
What was happening was the<br />
intersection included this huge,<br />
sweeping slip lane. Whereby<br />
when people turned left there, the<br />
turn was such a large radius that<br />
many cars’ indicators wouldn’t<br />
reset. •Turn to page 21<br />

matter how fit or unfit you feel you are.<br />
We encourage people to take a healthy approach to<br />
feeling fit, healthy and happy. It’s not just about weight<br />
loss – it comes from within.<br />
This month our focus is around Men’s Health Month.<br />
Our unique gym specialises in group exercise classes,<br />
and we have a range of expert trainers who offer a<br />
wealth of industry experience.<br />
We have a really balanced team, who are all highly<br />
knowledgeable in their own set of niche markets.<br />

equipped with the most up-to-date equipment, and<br />
consistently maintains the highest standards of<br />
customer service.<br />
BodyFix has supported a range of charities over<br />
the years by raising money through different events<br />
however Exercising is also about mental health – a clear<br />
mind is a remedy for most things; which is why we focus<br />
on supporting mental health charities and especially<br />
this month with the focus on Mens Health.<br />
Over the month we will be focussing on different<br />
aspects of Mens Health. Encouraging all men to get a<br />
check up and annual ones, giving out advice on creating<br />
new habits but most of all encouaring men to start<br />
talking #menstarttalking and just to do somethingfor<br />
themselves to be a little bit healthier.<br />
Everything we do is directly to help improve the health<br />
of everyone and we want to make a difference.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are plenty of men who still don’t look after<br />
themselves and some of the changes can be pretty<br />
simple. We can help improve the lives and the lives of<br />
those closes to us by educating and giving them the<br />
tools and the space to help.<br />
We all know that without our health we are no good<br />
to anyone. Men need help to encourage them to lead a<br />
long, healthier and happier life.<br />
Life is tough and we want to encourage men to talk<br />
about things more. If we can influence just 1 male to<br />
start then hoping we can change the world bit by bit.<br />
Men in NZ often have a tendancy to wait until things<br />
become to much to handle before they ask for help.<br />
As a club we are hugely passionate about making<br />
a diference – we are more than just a gym.<br />

Bid to make a difference at ECan<br />
•From page 18<br />
Just beyond the intersection<br />
you would go over a railway line<br />
and it was a bit bumpy so people<br />
would slow down a little bit.<br />
Immediately after the railway<br />
line, there was a side street to the<br />
left. At the time the rule was you<br />
turn left and you give way to the<br />
oncoming opposing right-tuners.<br />
So there were people waiting to<br />
turn right, people come along,<br />
slow down for the railway line,<br />
have their indicators going left<br />
and they would carry on straight<br />
through. Bang, they would be hit<br />
by the right-turner – one a day.<br />
We thought what did we do, how<br />
do we fix this. We fixed it with<br />
paint. We had a brainstorming<br />
session and put some paint on the<br />
ground after a week or so. We put<br />
the people going straight right<br />
hard against the flush median<br />
so it was absolutely crystal clear,<br />
they were going straight through.<br />
That fixed it. That’s my biggest<br />
professional stuff up we fixed<br />
with $300 of paint. We were<br />
sweating about it.<br />
What intersection was it?<br />
I’m too scared to say it.<br />
Have you done much<br />
travelling?<br />
I have, we had a good time<br />
in Vietnam. My mum used to<br />
come over reasonably regularly.<br />
She’s getting older, why don’t<br />
the four of us meet half way<br />
FAMILY FUN: Axel Wilke has travelled extensively around Vietnam with his mother.<br />
and spend some time together.<br />
That ended up being Vietnam.<br />
We were spending two weeks<br />
or so basically all our stuff in a<br />
backpack and travelling by bus<br />
and train from city to city to park<br />
up somewhere and organise a<br />
place to stay for a few days. It’s<br />
really, really lovely when the<br />
Vietnamese figure out that you’re<br />
travelling with parents.<br />
Any interesting hobbies?<br />
I love mountain biking, to<br />
be honest. <strong>The</strong> Port Hills is just<br />
marvellous. We are blessed. One<br />
thing that I really love about the<br />
Adventure Park is you can go in<br />
there and they don’t charge you<br />
as long as you get yourself up the<br />
hill with your own steam. I think<br />
that’s a really, really nice gesture.<br />
I don’t have a problem paying for<br />
lift passes, but I’ve been biking<br />
up Worsleys since 1998. <strong>The</strong>n<br />
the Adventure Park opens so<br />
many years later, why would I<br />

One little big life event coming<br />
up on October 12 – the local<br />
body elections – I’m going<br />
to stand for Environment<br />
Canterbury as an independent. I<br />
haven’t really been secret about<br />
it, I’m telling everyone who<br />
wants to hear, but I just haven’t<br />
made a public announcement.<br />
ECan sort public transport,<br />
that’s their role in the transport<br />
space and I am so frustrated<br />
watching what’s happening or<br />
what’s not happening. I know<br />
how to sort this out and it really<br />
needs a fundamental re-think<br />
about how the regional council<br />
goes about providing public<br />
transport services. I have made<br />
submissions and they certainly<br />
all know me and know of my<br />
opinions, but they don’t have the<br />
in-house capability and capacity<br />
to turn things around. For the<br />
last five years, our passenger<br />
numbers are going down. Since<br />
2014, the central city is filling up<br />
again – 35,000 new jobs and our<br />
patronage numbers are going<br />
down. It’s absolutely tragic.<br />

Speed limit overhaul<br />
• By Louis Day and<br />
Julia Evans<br />
SUMNER AND Woolston<br />
speed limits could be set for a<br />
complete overhaul.<br />
<strong>The</strong> city council is proposing<br />
various changes to the speed<br />
limits across Sumner and<br />
Woolston Village.<br />
Sumner’s<br />
plan proposes<br />
the speed limit<br />
be reduced<br />
in the wider<br />
residential<br />
area from<br />
50km/h to<br />
Sara<br />
Templeton<br />
40km/h as<br />
well as a drop<br />
to 30km/h at<br />
the entrance<br />
to Sumner, through the<br />
township and along the<br />
Esplanade.<br />
Heathcote Ward city<br />
councillor Sara Templeton saw<br />
the change as necessary.<br />
“I know that many people<br />
have concerns about the large<br />
trucks going back through the<br />
town on their way to Lyttelton<br />
so I think it will be well<br />
supported. <strong>The</strong>re have also been<br />
some issues with boy racers in<br />
the area,” she said.<br />
Cr Templeton thought a<br />
reduction in the speed limit<br />
would benefit local businesses.<br />
“When you have slower speeds<br />
LOWER: <strong>The</strong> speed limit on Ferry Rd may be dropped to<br />
30km/h.<br />
it makes it easier for people to<br />
have a look at the shops when<br />
they go past and are more likely<br />
to walk around when it is a<br />
pedestrian safe space.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> speed limit in the<br />
Woolston Village precinct may<br />
also be lowered.<br />
Consultation is set to begin<br />
on lowering speed along Ferry<br />
Rd from Portman St to nearly<br />
Palinurus Rd to 30km/h.<br />
Part of St Johns St, Maronan<br />
St, Oak St, Heathcote St,<br />
Portman St and Glenroy<br />
St would also be dropped<br />
to 40km/h as part of the<br />
proposal.<br />
Public feedback on the plans<br />
will open on <strong>June</strong> 17.<br />
<strong>The</strong> moves follows previous<br />
consultation on the Sumner<br />
and Ferry Rd master plans,<br />
which approved implementing a<br />
12-month trial.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Woolston area’s master<br />
plan was approved in 2014 and<br />
currently streetscape upgrades<br />
for the village are in the design<br />
phase.<br />
It features wider footpaths and<br />
cycle lanes, upgraded crossings<br />
and street lighting.<br />
A laneway linking Ferry Rd<br />
to the public car park and preschool<br />
behind the library will be<br />
upgraded for use by pedestrians<br />
and cyclists under the library<br />
development.<br />
New and upgraded bus<br />
stops and shelters will also be<br />
introduced.<br />
New Lyttelton tug<br />
soon to enter service<br />
THE LYTTELTON Port<br />
Company’s new tug Piaka arrived<br />
on Friday.<br />
Piaka was designed by<br />
Canadian tug experts Robert<br />
Allan and built in Singapore by<br />
ASL Shipyard, and will replace<br />
harbour tug Purau, which has<br />
been in service since 1986.<br />
Over the past month<br />
she has sailed from<br />
Singapore to Lyttelton<br />
and was greeted at the headlands<br />
of Lyttelton Harbour by LPC<br />
tugs Purau and Blackadder, and<br />
pilot launch Awaroa.<br />
LPC chief executive Peter Davie<br />
said the new tug will offer improved<br />
power and manoeuvrability.<br />
“It will increase our handling<br />
capability for the larger vessels<br />
that are expected to call at<br />
Lyttelton following the recent<br />
upgrade of the navigation<br />
channel. <strong>The</strong> future of shipping<br />
is seeing a trend towards<br />
NEW<br />
ARRIVAL:<br />
Lyttelton<br />
Port<br />
Company’s<br />
tug Piaka<br />
arrived<br />
from<br />
Singapore<br />
on Friday.<br />
significantly larger vessels,” he said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> modern control systems<br />
and winch set-up of the Piaka are<br />
similar to LPC’s tug Blackadder,<br />
further modernising LPC’s harbour<br />
tug fleet,” says Mr Davie.<br />
Piaka is the Māori name for<br />
Adderley Head, and the tug<br />
is painted in Canterbury colours.<br />
Piaka has 75T bollard pull,<br />
significantly more than the Purau.<br />
Mr Davie said it was fantastic<br />
to have Piaka arrive safely at Lyttelton.<br />
“It is another vital part of our<br />
development at LPC, ensuring we<br />
can cater for the growth in container<br />
volume moving through<br />
Lyttelton, and continue to be the<br />
gateway for the goods that keep<br />
our region moving.”<br />
Piaka will undergo testing and<br />
training sessions with her new<br />
crew over the next few weeks,<br />
before being formally launched<br />
and named.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> Thursday <strong>June</strong> 6 <strong>2019</strong><br />
news online at www.star.kiwi 25<br />
I WAS reading through some<br />
emails over the weekend and<br />
came across a reminder that<br />
all our wheelie bins needed<br />
to be tagged as part of the<br />
major stocktake that has been<br />
undertaken over the past two<br />
years, with the addition of radio<br />
frequency IDs.<br />
<strong>The</strong> consequences of not<br />
being tagged is that the rubbish<br />
bin won’t be emptied. So I made<br />
a reminder to myself to double<br />
check if there was a<br />
small reflective sticker on the<br />
side.<br />
I write this on rubbish<br />
collection day as I take the bins<br />
out, discovering that only one<br />
of the three had the reflective<br />
sticker that confirms it is<br />
tagged.<br />
So I have been on-line to<br />
the city council website and<br />
submitted a request to have this<br />
done.<br />
It only took a minute to do<br />
(although you do need the bin<br />
number(s), which is printed on<br />
the side of the bin, so make a<br />
Mayor<br />
Lianne Dalziel<br />
Stocktake to track<br />
475,000 wheelie bins<br />
note of it before you go on line –<br />
I just took a photo on my phone).<br />
You can also phone the city<br />
council contact centre 941 8999<br />
and a customer services team<br />
member can fill the form in for<br />
you – remember you will need<br />
the bin number.<br />
<strong>The</strong> tagging system is an<br />
important way for the kerbside<br />
collection trucks to identify if<br />
a bin is on a property where it<br />
does not belong. This will help<br />
identify lost or stolen bins and<br />
reduce the cost of the kerbside<br />
collection.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are over 475,000 bins<br />
in the collection service – so it’s<br />
possible that quite a few have<br />
been missed. I’m hoping my bin<br />
will be emptied today, but if not<br />
at least it will be tagged for next<br />
time.<br />

Dalziel a question, email<br />

Tantrum to the power of 10<br />
I GOT TWO pretty decent<br />
sleep-ins this week.<br />
I mean I had to travel to<br />
Australia to get them, and one of<br />
those included being a bit worse<br />
for wear. Still, it was good to get<br />
some extra shut-eye.<br />
However, poor Laura got stuck<br />
inside over the weekend while<br />
I was away thanks to the nasty<br />
weather. If you remember back<br />
to early April when I was away in<br />
Hamilton she copped the same.<br />
It must be a curse or something.<br />
My flight didn’t get in until 1am<br />
on Tuesday morning, so I only<br />
ended up getting about four hours<br />
sleep before a little smiling face<br />
was pressed close to mine to get<br />
me up.<br />
I was stoked, I had missed<br />
Vittoria heaps while I was away.<br />
While I was gone she’s mastered<br />
her little push-car and worked<br />
out how to turn up the tantrum<br />
power to 10.<br />
With average weather striking<br />
again on Tuesday, riding her little<br />
car up and down the drive wasn’t<br />
a full-day option.<br />
Laura was on leave so the<br />
three of us packed up the car and<br />
headed to Lyttelton for a family<br />
lunch out.<br />
Bubs behaved like an angel the<br />
whole time.<br />
After eating we went out onto<br />
a deck area to see the view of<br />
the port when Vittoria spotted<br />
an excellent way to show off her<br />
tantrum skills – some slippery<br />
looking stairs that had toddler<br />
head injury written all over<br />
them.<br />
Not letting her go down<br />
those was cause for a full-blown<br />
meltdown at me, crying and<br />
screaming right beside some<br />
strangers enjoying a coffee catchup.<br />
Good thing I’ve developed<br />
a healthy level of not getting<br />
stressed about what bystanders<br />
think.<br />
When I tried to give her a<br />
cuddle to calm her down, she ran<br />
away for a cuddle from<br />
mum instead and her stroppy<br />
attitude lasted all the way back to<br />
the car.<br />
Still, it was nice to see Vittoria<br />
turn to Laura for a change.<br />
I’m sure, in spite of the tears<br />
and noise, that Laura would have<br />
appreciated that too.<br />

GARDENING<br />
Ornamental kale for colour through winter<br />
• By Henri Ham<br />
news online at www.star.kiwi<br />
FLOWER GARDENS tend to<br />
look a little dull at this time of the<br />
year.<br />
But there are some plants that<br />
thrive once your summer annuals<br />
pass their best. Ornamental kale<br />
– an annual grown for its pretty<br />
waved leaves and bright winter<br />
colours – is the perfect plant to<br />
insert some liveliness into your<br />
garden right now.<br />
Ornamental kale grows in<br />
large, low rosettes, like prizes in<br />
your garden. It’s a compact plant<br />
that closely resembles a cabbage.<br />
While you can eat it, it’s mostly<br />
grown for its colourful leaves. But<br />
if you’re really keen on tasting it,<br />
you’ll find ornamental kale has a<br />
very bitter taste.<br />
What I like about this<br />
type of kale is that it’s bold,<br />
striking and, (best of all)<br />
requires little care in your garden.<br />
And, once established this fun<br />
kale can deliver a good few<br />
months of colour to your winter<br />
garden.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are a variety of<br />
ornamental kales around. Most<br />
have symmetrical green outer<br />
leaves and purple rosey or creamy<br />
white centres. Some have wider<br />
cabbage-like leaves, others tight<br />
frilly edges – similar to endive<br />
lettuce.<br />
<strong>The</strong> most popular type is<br />
THE WINTER blues in our<br />
house are not the sort to get<br />
you down.<br />
To be precise, they’re blue<br />
violas, light blue lobelias,<br />
lavender primulas and moody<br />
blues pansies. And they’re all<br />
excellent ways to inject some<br />
bright colour into your winter<br />
garden.<br />
If your garden is looking a<br />
little bland after your summer<br />
flowers have dried up, now is<br />
the time to plant these winter<br />
annuals. And if you’re not<br />
feeling so ‘blue’, many of these<br />
pretty flowers also come in<br />
shades of pinks, purples, whites<br />
and yellows as well.<br />
For the sunnier areas of your<br />
garden, look to antirrhinum<br />
pigeon kale. It comes in both<br />
purple and white varieties<br />
and has a true rosette<br />
appearance.<br />
Ideal for garden pots,<br />
borders and edging, you<br />
might have seen ornamental<br />
kale before in large beds of town<br />
gardens or in the middle of traffic<br />
islands.<br />
dwarf, viscaria, nemesia and lobelia<br />
as good starting points for<br />
adding colour. <strong>The</strong>y suit borders,<br />
mass planting or simply<br />
planted in between your roses.<br />
And for those slightly shadier<br />
spots, polyanthus, primulas<br />
and cineraria dwarf can all help<br />
add some bursts of colour.<br />
But if you’re not sure where<br />
to start, violas are a staple of any<br />
winter garden. You’ll find these<br />
cute little flowers in shades of<br />
oranges to yellow, dark blues,<br />
burgundy and white.<br />
If you’re wanting something<br />
new, try sorbet blue viola. It’s<br />
a cute little white and violet<br />
coloured flower, still featuring<br />
the tiny yellow face that many<br />
violas often have.<br />
When you plant ornamental<br />
kale seedlings on mass (about<br />
20cm apart) they develop a lovely<br />
packed-in feel – really carpeting<br />
a garden.<br />
Once you’ve got your seedlings,<br />
find a sunny well-drained spot in<br />
your garden.<br />
Dig holes around 5cm deep,<br />
20cm apart and gently place the<br />
CONTRAST: White and<br />
violet viola.<br />
Plant your viola seedlings<br />
10cm apart, in full sun with<br />
well-drained soil. <strong>The</strong>y’ll flower<br />
from right now until spring,<br />
CARPET-LIKE:<br />
<strong>The</strong> more sun<br />
your kale gets<br />
the brighter<br />
the colours<br />
will be.<br />
seedlings in. Lightly massage the<br />
root systems to loosen them<br />
up.<br />
If you’re not sure what to plant<br />
alongside your kale, ornamental<br />
grasses (carex) are an ideal easycare<br />
companion.<br />
<strong>The</strong> more sun your kale gets,<br />
the brighter colours you’ll be<br />
rewarded with.<br />
Violas are a cold weather staple – plant now<br />
growing to around 15cm high.<br />
Give them a good initial watering<br />
and feed of general fertiliser.<br />
Once they’ve got going, they<br />
won’t need much watering<br />
through the cooler months – the<br />
perk of a winter garden.<br />
In around four to six weeks,<br />
you’ll start to see a splash of<br />
colour pop up. Just remember<br />
to pick off the dead heads to<br />
encourage them to flower, and<br />
you’ll get to enjoy your colourful<br />
winter garden for many<br />
months ahead.<br />
And, if you’re a hanging<br />
basket enthusiast, combine your<br />
violas with some cascading<br />
lobelia and hang it near<br />
your front door to add some<br />
welcoming colour to your home.<br />
But don’t think about planting<br />
them out too early.<br />
Ornamental kale is a true<br />
winter plant that needs the cooler<br />
night temperatures to thrive.<br />
Once planted, give an initial<br />
feed of liquid fertiliser. But after<br />
this, just stick to water.<br />
Too much fertiliser can cause<br />
the plant to grow an elongated<br />
stem under the rosette, which will<br />
detract from its pretty, compact<br />
appearance.<br />
In around six weeks you’ll start<br />
to see colourful kale developing<br />
in your garden beds.<br />

Colorado makes easy<br />
work of cross trainer<br />
YOU’D THINK after<br />
writing about cars for<br />
30 years there would be<br />
few things in a motor<br />
vehicle that would get the<br />
better of me in terms of<br />
technology.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s nothing more<br />
embarrassing than having<br />
to go back to a dealership<br />
admitting defeat and asking<br />
how something works.<br />
Well, that happened to<br />
me with Holden’s latest Z71<br />
Colorado, quite simply I<br />
couldn’t get the deck cover<br />
off. <strong>The</strong> friendly sales<br />
staff at Blackwells quickly<br />
showed me how it was<br />
done, and I was on my way.<br />
I was quite anxious to<br />
have access to the deck area<br />
as my wife’s cross trainer<br />
needed workshop repair,<br />
and transporting it on the<br />
back of a ute was the most<br />
sensible option. I also used<br />
it to take a load of green<br />
waste to the recycling<br />
centre.<br />
Quite obviously, these<br />
tasks were no match for<br />
the Colorado’s 1000kg load<br />
capacity, but they did serve<br />
to prove how adaptable the<br />
modern ute has become,<br />
and if you add in a 3500kg<br />
tow rating the Colorado is<br />
right up there in terms of<br />
load carrying performance.<br />
However, as much as it<br />
is a standout in terms of<br />
practicality, the Z71 fourwheel-drive<br />
double cab is<br />
aimed more towards the<br />
recreational buyer, it has<br />
decals, stripes, body kit and<br />
a high level of specification,<br />
full leather trim is some<br />
indication as to how it sits<br />
in the market.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are also many<br />
unseen specification<br />
elements, the Colorado<br />
is state of the art in terms<br />
of electronic inclusions<br />
for safety, while comfort<br />
and convenience items are<br />
generous. It is very modern<br />
in the cockpit, while<br />
seating comfort for five is<br />
guaranteed.<br />
Under the bonnet<br />
sits a 2.8-litre, fourcylinder<br />
twin-camshaft<br />
turbocharged diesel engine.<br />
It is rated by Holden at<br />
147kW, and with 500Nm<br />
of torque available at<br />
just 2000rpm it is a<br />
powerhouse, easily on a par<br />
with all of its competitors.<br />
Drive is harnessed<br />
through a six-speed<br />
automatic transmission.<br />
A manual is available,<br />
but it won’t compete with<br />
the auto in terms of sales<br />
figures. Bear in mind, too,<br />
the manual has a lower<br />
engine torque figure of<br />
440Nm.<br />
Shifts in the auto are<br />
HOLDEN COLORADO Z71: Versatile, go-anywhere<br />
double cab ute.<br />
smooth, and the gearing<br />
is such that it provides<br />
relaxed motoring at<br />
highway speed, along with<br />
the ratios needed for slow<br />
speed, off-the-seal travel.<br />
Backing up that theory<br />
is the fitment of a true<br />
low ratio transfer box, it is<br />
manipulated electronically<br />
by a console-mounted<br />
dial switch at the driver’s<br />
command.<br />

• Fuel usage –<br />
8.7l/100km<br />
Because I was travelling<br />
alone I didn’t take the<br />
Z71 off-road, instead, I<br />
spent most of my time<br />
with the Z71 at highway<br />
speed and my regular<br />
commute. In those<br />
conditions it seems more<br />
car-like than ute-like.<br />
Sure, at well over 5m<br />
there is a lot of bulk to<br />
manoeuvre in close confine<br />
situations, but it’s no worse<br />
than any other vehicle of<br />
its type. If you take into<br />
account the numbers that<br />
are being sold, buyers quite<br />
obviously don’t rate that as<br />
a challenge.<br />
On the open road, the<br />
engine turns over slowly<br />
at 1550rpm at 100km/h<br />
in top gear. At that speed<br />
Motoring<br />
Ross Kiddie<br />
it returns a 6.2-litre<br />
per 100km (46mpg)<br />
instantaneous fuel usage<br />
figure and that accounted<br />
for a 9.4l/100km (30mpg)<br />
average figure during my<br />
time with the ute.<br />
That correlates well<br />
with the 8.7l/100km<br />
(32mpg) figure Holden<br />
claims for a combined cycle<br />
average.<br />
Road and wind noise are<br />
both kept to a minimum,<br />
and the Colorado as a<br />
series imparts a smooth<br />
ride. Of course, it is better<br />
with a bit of weight in the<br />
back, but the reality is the<br />
load bearing suspension<br />
is relatively absorbent<br />
and the cab doesn’t jiggle<br />
unnecessarily on uneven<br />
surfaces.<br />
That’s an area where<br />
local research and<br />
development pays<br />
dividends. Holden<br />
Australia places a huge<br />
emphasis on developing<br />
vehicles for down<br />
under conditions, and<br />
it certainly shows in<br />
Colorado. <strong>The</strong> ride is<br />
acceptable, while and the<br />
entire in-cabin experience<br />
is comfortable.<br />
I guess it would need to<br />
be welcoming. <strong>The</strong> Z71<br />
listing at $66,990 is a bit<br />
of an outlay, but if you get<br />
to the dealership before<br />
the end of <strong>June</strong> you will<br />
be in line for a tempting<br />
Feildays bargain, and with<br />
the amount of on-board kit<br />
it would be a very worthy<br />
purchase.<br />
Even though the<br />
Z71’s flashy bits disguise<br />
its traditional ute look,<br />
make no mistake, the Z71<br />
is still the quintessential<br />
Colorado which has carved<br />
out a huge reputation as<br />
a tough, go-anywhere<br />
worker.
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> Thursday <strong>June</strong> 6 <strong>2019</strong><br />
Greg Somerville was a<br />
staple in the Crusaders’<br />
front row for a decade.<br />
But after his playing days,<br />
he had to decide what<br />
his next move would<br />
be. Gordon Findlater<br />
talks to him about going<br />
into business after a<br />
successful rugby career<br />
LAST YEAR Greg Somerville<br />
purchased Think Water<br />
Marlborough – an irrigation<br />
company established in 1996 at<br />
the start of the grape planting<br />
boom.<br />
But outside of work, the<br />
former tight head prop can be<br />
found offering up scrummaging<br />
tips at local rugby clubs. And<br />
with many of his customers<br />
being wineries, he has also<br />
become partial to the odd bottle<br />
of Marlborough sauvignon<br />
blanc, even though he says he is<br />
still very much a beer man.<br />
“I’ve got a mate that owns a<br />
craft brewery up in Auckland.<br />
That’s one of my biggest things<br />
I miss the most from up there<br />
was the consistent flow of craft<br />
beer I could get from him,” said<br />
Somerville.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 41-year-old racked up<br />
115 appearances and nine tries<br />
for the Crusaders between 1999<br />
and 2008, winning Super Rugby<br />
titles in 1999, 2000, 2002, 2005,<br />
20<strong>06</strong> and 2008. He also earned<br />
66 caps for the All Blacks.<br />
Somerville grew up on a farm<br />
near Wairoa, Hawkes Bay, and<br />
got his first taste of rugby at<br />
Taiho Primary School. He went<br />
on to play first XV rugby for<br />
Napier Boys’ High School.<br />
Following school, Somerville<br />
spent two years at Smedley<br />
Station – a cadet training farm<br />
which provides hands-on<br />
agricultural skills for young<br />
farmers. A pathway to the<br />
Crusaders then popped up in his<br />
home province.<br />
“At the time, Wayne Smith<br />
was the (chief executive) of<br />
Hawkes Bay rugby. I played<br />
some age group rugby there and<br />
then Smithy went back down to<br />
Christchurch and that’s when<br />
Canterbury started to talk to me<br />
about going down there,” said<br />
Somerville.<br />
He relocated to Christchurch<br />
in 1998 and was one of the<br />
first players to come out of the<br />
Canterbury academy, which was<br />
being run by Steve Hansen in its<br />
early days.<br />
“I wanted to go to Lincoln<br />
to do a diploma in farm<br />
management, so that whole<br />
package tied in quite well,” he<br />
said.<br />
Somerville also played club<br />
rugby for Lincoln University,<br />
but says they were not as strong<br />
as the current team which have<br />
won the last four metro rugby<br />
titles.<br />
“We dominated the bottom<br />
of the table when I was there.<br />
Awesome club, but yeah, we<br />
weren’t as successful as they are<br />
now,” said Somerville.<br />
Before becoming a Crusaders<br />
regular, he spent a year living<br />
in a flat with a group of Lincoln<br />
students. He then moved<br />
into a flat with his Crusaders<br />
teammate Ben Hurst.<br />
“As you can imagine, I was<br />
trying to become a professional<br />
rugby player and learning what<br />
that was all about with sleep<br />
patterns and nutrition and also<br />
living student life . . . there was<br />
a bit of a transition from being<br />
a varsity student to being a<br />
responsible professional,” said<br />
Somerville.<br />
He made what was at the time<br />
a shock debut for Canterbury<br />
in their 1998 NPC semi-final<br />
loss to Waikato. Somerville and<br />
Dave Hewett were given their<br />
first starts for Canterbury in the<br />
match. However, they looked<br />
to catch Waikato off-guard by<br />
keeping their selection secret<br />
until the team sheets were<br />
handed out just before kick-off.<br />

Somerville’s new venture<br />
NEW VENTURE: Greg Somerville<br />
took over irrigation company, Think<br />
Water Marlborough, last year.<br />
•Over the Super Rugby season, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> will look back each<br />
week at some of the identities who graced the Crusaders<br />
jersey in the past and discover where they are now<br />
“We flew up under different<br />
names and when we got into the<br />
airport, we were whipped into<br />
the Koru Lounge so no reporters<br />
could see . . . Shag [Steve<br />
Hansen] said not to tell anyone,<br />
so I didn’t even tell mum or dad.<br />
<strong>The</strong> morning of the game, he<br />
asked if my parents were coming<br />
to watch and I said no, because<br />
you told me not to tell anyone<br />
. . . he had a laugh and told me I<br />
was an idiot,” said Somerville.<br />
“We ran out and even the<br />
commentators were thinking<br />
who the heck is this?”<br />
<strong>The</strong> following year, Somerville<br />
made his Crusaders debut in<br />
their opening match of the 1999<br />
season against the Chiefs. He<br />
went on to play all 13 games<br />
that year, including their 24-19<br />
win over the Highlanders at<br />
Carisbrook in the final.<br />
“We had to go to Brisbane and<br />
we beat the Reds in the semifinal<br />
after they had dominated<br />
all year. To tip them over there<br />
and then go down to Dunedin<br />
and beat the Highlanders,<br />
looking back it’s a pretty big<br />
feat,” said Somerville.<br />
“We were all mates at the end<br />
of the day, so you got to live and<br />
breathe going to work with your<br />
mates, and we also enjoyed a lot<br />
of time off the field together as<br />
well.”<br />
Throughout his career,<br />
Somerville has had the<br />
nickname Yoda among<br />
his teammates due to his<br />
resemblance to the <strong>Star</strong> Wars<br />
character.<br />
“Xavier Rush came up with<br />
that when were at a New<br />
Zealand colts camp . . . he must<br />
have seen something, I definitely<br />
don’t have any special powers or<br />
forces,” he said.<br />
Following his final year<br />
with the Crusaders in 2008,<br />
Somerville spent two seasons<br />
with Gloucester in the English<br />
Premiership. He then played<br />
his last season of rugby with<br />
the Melbourne Rebels during<br />
their inaugural Super Rugby<br />
campaign in 2011. Following<br />
this, Somerville relocated to<br />
Auckland.<br />
“I tried a few things. I worked<br />
for PGG Wrightson for a year<br />
and dabbled in a wee bit of<br />
coaching here and there as a<br />
scrum coach for a number of<br />
teams,” he said.<br />
After moving to Marlborough<br />
and spending time coaching<br />
with the Tasman Mako’s in<br />
2017, he purchased Think Water<br />
Marlborough.<br />
“I love it here and the smaller<br />
town vibe . . . the outdoors and<br />
ocean is here. Life’s easy in<br />
terms of getting around,” said<br />
Somerville.<br />
“Doing business in a small<br />
town is good. You get to interact<br />
with a wide range of people, but<br />
everyone’s still connected and<br />
think local and support local.”<br />
KEY MAN: Greg Somerville<br />
was one of the first names<br />
on the team sheet during<br />
his time at the Crusaders.<br />
SPORT 31<br />
in brief<br />
Top four finishes for<br />
Canty basketballers<br />
Two Canterbury basketball<br />
teams finished in the top<br />
four at the under-19 national<br />
championships in Dunedin.<br />
<strong>The</strong> under-19 men’s team were<br />
unable to defend their title for<br />
a third straight year, falling<br />
to champions North Harbour<br />
in the semi-final 78-100. <strong>The</strong><br />
side then rebounded to defeat<br />
Wellington 61-67 and finish<br />
third. Meanwhile, the under-17<br />
girls team advanced to the<br />
semi-finals before losing to<br />
Waikato and Taranaki to finish<br />
fourth. Canterbury players Tom<br />
Webley and Helen Matthews<br />
were both named in their<br />
respective all-tournament teams.<br />
West triumph over<br />
East in league games<br />
West took the honours 32-20<br />
in the annual West v East<br />
Canterbury Rugby League<br />
fixture at Nga Puna Wai on<br />
Monday. Hornby Panthers<br />
forward Caius Faatili bagged a<br />
double for West. Regan Stanton<br />
(Hornby Panthers), Nick Evans<br />
(Halswell Hornets), Tirikatene<br />
Taiuru (Halswell Hornets)<br />
and Zion Kamana (Riccarton<br />
Knights) also scored for West.<br />
<strong>The</strong> match was an opportunity<br />
for players to press their case for<br />
Canterbury Bulls selection later<br />
in the year. West also took out<br />
the inaugural women’s clash by<br />
defeating East 38-12.<br />

NEW BRIGHTON lock<br />
Boris van Bruchem is<br />
preparing to represent<br />
New Zealand at a world<br />
championships – but not<br />
in rugby.<br />
Van Bruchem, 20, will<br />
travel to South Africa<br />
following New Brighton’s<br />
final game of the metro<br />
rugby season as part of<br />
the New Zealand team<br />
to compete at the World<br />
Korfball Championships<br />
for the first time.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 195cm lock grew<br />
up around korfball – a<br />
ball sport with similarities<br />
to netball and basketball<br />
– due to his parents<br />
being Dutch. His parents<br />
through playing korfball<br />
in the Netherlands, where<br />
more than 100,000 people<br />
take part in the sport.<br />
“I remember watching<br />
my parents play, then they<br />
coached a school team we<br />
had at Richmond School,”<br />
said van Bruchem.<br />
He started playing rugby<br />
as an eight-year-old for<br />
Shirley before going on<br />
to play first XV rugby at<br />
Shirley Boys’ High School.<br />
“Korfball helps with my<br />
hand-eye co-ordination,<br />
which helps with catching<br />
and distributing the ball at<br />
lineouts, but they are quite<br />
different sports, which is<br />
why I enjoy them because<br />
it’s nice being able to do<br />
something and the next<br />
day having a different<br />
training for a different<br />
game,” he said.<br />
He has played for the<br />
New Zealand under-19<br />
korfball team at<br />
international competitions.<br />
However, the world<br />
championships will be his<br />
first time playing for the<br />
New Zealand senior side.<br />
Last year van Bruchem<br />
was part of the Canterbury<br />
rugby team which<br />
competed at the national<br />
under-19 tournament.<br />
Since the end of last<br />
season, van Bruchem has<br />
put on 10kg. Now 105kg,<br />
he hopes the added size<br />
will help him progress his<br />
game to the next level.<br />
“Every off-season is<br />
about putting on weight<br />
to be able to go to the<br />
next level. It is a bit hard<br />
because you have to eat a<br />
lot,” he said.<br />
Van Bruchem is used to<br />
being the tallest player on<br />
the rugby field.<br />
However, when New<br />
Zealand come up against<br />
the Netherlands in<br />
pool play at the korfball<br />
champs, he will be brought<br />
back to eye level with the<br />
world’s best.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re’s going to be a lot<br />
of really good players there,<br />
it’s just going to be really<br />
cool to test myself against<br />
the best in the world,” he<br />
said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> World Korfball<br />
Championships will<br />
take place in Durban from<br />
August 1-10.<br />
But for now,<br />
van Bruchem’s focus is<br />
on helping New Brighton<br />
reach the top six of the<br />
metro rugby competition,<br />
which can be achieved<br />
with a win over Belfast on<br />
Saturday.

Boxer hungry for success<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
FASTING DURING Ramadan<br />
and dropping down a weight<br />
division wasn’t getting in the<br />
way of Mujib (Jai) Ghazizada<br />
winning the most scientific elite<br />
boxer award at the South Island<br />
Golden Gloves.<br />
Ghazizada won the 64kg elite<br />
male title by winning his three<br />
fights at the Golden Gloves<br />
held at the Kaiapoi Club at the<br />
weekend. Following his gold<br />
medal-winning bout he was then<br />
awarded the most scientific elite<br />
boxer.<br />
He joins an elite list of boxers<br />
to have won the trophy including<br />
one of his idols – current WBU<br />
Welterweight World Championship<br />
Bowyn Morgan – who won<br />
it in 2011 and 2012.<br />
“When I took the trophy I saw<br />
Bowyn Morgan’s name on it, I’m<br />
a huge Bowyn Morgan fan . . . I<br />
look up to him, he’s an amazing<br />
boxer,” said Ghazizada.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 24-year-old would normally<br />
fight in the 69kg division.<br />
However, due to Ramadan –<br />
which means abstaining from<br />
food and drink between sunrise<br />
and sunset - he dropped down a<br />
weight division.<br />
“Normally I weigh around<br />
67kg,” said Ghazizada.<br />
“It was a bit difficult to recover,<br />
but it was just a mind-set. I just<br />
told myself to never give up and<br />
give 100 per cent everything I<br />
have.”<br />
Ramadan finished yesterday<br />
and Ghazizada celebrated in<br />
traditional Afghani style with<br />
rice and curry.<br />

DETERMINED: Mujib Ghazizada (blue) lands a punch<br />
en route to winning the 64kg elite male title at the South<br />
Island Golden Gloves. <br />
He and his family arrived in<br />
New Zealand 14 years ago as<br />
refugees from Afghanistan. One<br />
of his first memories in New<br />
Zealand was watching David<br />
Tua and Shane Cameron fights<br />
which sparked a keen interest in<br />
the sport.<br />
However, it was only two years<br />
ago that he joined the Papanui<br />
Boxing Club. His gold medal at<br />
the Golden Gloves was just his<br />
sixth fight as an amateur.<br />
Ghazizada – who is a civil engineer<br />
– has the dream of going<br />
professional in the future.<br />
“I’m really hungry for it . . .<br />
It’s a dream, every time I think<br />
about it keeps me going and<br />
going, to turn professional and<br />
become New Zealand champion<br />
one day. Hopefully, I can<br />
become a world champion,” said<br />
Ghazizada.<br />
His commitment to boxing<br />
hasn’t gone unnoticed by his<br />
coach Eric Sincock.<br />
“He never misses a training<br />
and he’s very good in the gym<br />
with the other people,” said<br />
Sincock.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 75-year-old has been<br />
involved as a coach at the<br />
Papanui club for more than 20<br />
years. However, it is the first<br />
time he has won the coach of the<br />
most scientific boxer award at a<br />
South Island Golden Gloves.<br />

THE INEVITABLE move to live<br />
sport being streamed could hold<br />
the answer to getting more bums<br />
on seats at Super Rugby games.<br />
Spark’s streaming service for<br />
the Rugby World Cup is the first<br />
sign of what is to come when it<br />
comes to viewing our most popular<br />
sport. If live Super Rugby<br />
and All Black games move to<br />
streaming in the future it could<br />
help pack out stadiums if a local<br />
market blackout is implemented.<br />
A blackout is the non-airing of<br />
a television or radio broadcast in<br />
a particular market.<br />
If a Super Rugby blackout<br />
was introduced it would mean<br />
Crusaders fans in Christchurch<br />
wouldn’t be able to watch a live<br />
broadcast of a home Crusaders<br />
match. <strong>The</strong>y would instead have<br />
to attend the match to see it live<br />
or watch delayed coverage.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s no hiding the ugly fact<br />
rugby crowds in New Zealand<br />
have dwindled over the past two<br />
decades and one of the reasons<br />
can be linked with the increased<br />
accessibility and improved quality<br />
of live broadcasts.<br />
However, the same hasn’t happened<br />
in some countries when<br />
it comes to their most predominant<br />
sports.<br />
In the United Kingdom a<br />
blackout has been in effect since<br />
the early 1960s and forbids any<br />
live soccer match from being<br />
shown in the UK between<br />
2.45pm and 5.15pm so that attendances<br />

Blackouts the way to<br />
get bums on seats<br />
Football League matches are not<br />
affected.<br />
While Premier League<br />
matches are shown live around<br />
the world during this period, UK<br />
viewers are restricted.<br />
<strong>The</strong> best model to follow would<br />
be the regional model which has<br />
been used for major sports in the<br />
United States.<br />
For more than four decades<br />
the NFL maintained a blackout<br />
policy which stated that a home<br />
game cannot be televised in the<br />
team’s local market if 85 per cent<br />
of the tickets are not sold out<br />
72 hours prior to its start time.<br />
<strong>The</strong> same policy applied to<br />
Super Rugby would mean Crusaders<br />
games could be broadcast<br />
live to local viewers as long as the<br />
stadium reaches capacity.<br />
<strong>The</strong> reason live New Zealand<br />
sport broadcasts moving to a<br />
streaming platform would be the<br />
ideal time to introduce blackouts<br />
is because it could easily be implemented<br />
through the geographical<br />
location of IP addresses – meaning<br />
you won’t be able to watch<br />
through an internet connection<br />
within X number of kilometres<br />
from a team’s home ground.<br />
<strong>The</strong> biggest argument against<br />
this being unfair is the age old<br />
“what if you can’t afford to go<br />
to the game.” However, I can<br />
assure you the cost of attending<br />
a season of Crusaders games<br />
wouldn’t work out to cost much<br />
more than a Sky subscription for<br />
a season.<br />

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand<br />
has b en a proached in a bid to<br />
fina ly repair the potholes in New<br />
Brighton’s Hawke St car park.<br />
Coastal-Burw od Ward city<br />
counci lor David East wants<br />
WorkSafe to pre sure the car<br />
park’s private owners into<br />
repairing the potholes which are<br />
a “trip and vehicle” hazard.<br />
WorkSafe chief inspector<br />
a se sment southern Darren<br />
Handforth said it may be able to<br />
take action under the Health and<br />
Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a<br />
person conducting a busine s or<br />
undertaking.”<br />
Mr Handforth said WorkSafe<br />
is aware of the concerns raised by<br />
Cr East about the car park.<br />
“WorkSafe has completed<br />
an a se sment visit to the site<br />
and is engaging with the owner<br />
to advise them that it is their<br />
responsibility to manage their<br />
risks a propriately.”<br />
Different parts of the car park<br />
are owned by various people<br />
and the Coastal-Burw od<br />
Community Board recently<br />
wrote to them about its concerns<br />
around health and safety.<br />
Cr East said the bi gest i sue<br />
in the past has b en ge ting in<br />
touch with the landlords and<br />
owners and ge ting them to<br />
agr e to anything. “<strong>The</strong> board<br />
a preciates that multi-ownership<br />
of the parking space may present<br />
a difficulty in co-ordinating<br />
repair/resurfacing but felt obliged<br />
to pa s these concerns onto you,”<br />
said the le ter.<br />
One reply has b en received so<br />
far from an owner who is wi ling<br />
to discu s the i sue. However, a l<br />
the owners would have to agr e<br />
to undertake work.<br />
Cr East said there had b en<br />
a “number of incidences” in<br />
the car park of people injuring<br />
themselves which had gone<br />
unreported.<br />
“I’ve always though that it<br />
has b en quite amazing that we<br />
haven’t had any serious a cidents<br />
or senior citizens perhaps<br />
tri ping in those potholes and<br />
doing themselve some damage.”<br />
He is confiden the new<br />
a proach wi l bring results.<br />
“I think the WorkSafe<br />
involvement may prove to be the<br />
lever that we are l oking for.”<br />
New bid to fix potholes<br />
Action looms<br />
on Hawke St<br />
car park<br />

THE PAPANUI-I nes<br />
Community Board has taken the<br />
rare step of starting a petition<br />
to figh the city council over<br />
funding.<br />
Signatures are being co lected<br />
in a bid to get funding for a community<br />
facility in Shirley.<br />
It comes after the city council<br />
removed funding for the centre<br />
pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the<br />
intersection with Hills Rd. This<br />
was the site of the former community<br />
centre, which was badly<br />
damaged in the February 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake.<br />
<strong>The</strong> removal o funding<br />
prompted community board<br />
chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten<br />
to stand down, citing it as her “die<br />
in the ditch” project.<br />
Ms Jone said the board’s role<br />
is to represen the community,<br />
and by gathering signatures from<br />
residents, it was fulfi ling that<br />
role.<br />
“One of the roles of a community<br />
board is to represent and act<br />
as advocate for the interests of its<br />
community and this is what we<br />
are doing. <strong>The</strong> LTP and a nual<br />
plans are a l about lo bying the<br />

Cave Rock<br />
Apartments’<br />
owners<br />
expect EQC<br />
sign-off<br />
this week<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave<br />
Rock Apartments ar expecting the<br />
Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off<br />
on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.<br />
Body corporate chairman Mike<br />
White said the group had gone<br />
into mediation with IAG and EQC<br />
on February 20, and signed off<br />
on a deal with IAG on February<br />
2 – coincidenta ly seven years<br />
to the day after the February 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake. However, they<br />
are waiting for EQC to sign the<br />
agr ement.<br />
“Given that EQC actua ly drafted<br />
the agr ement, there’ l be no<br />
problem with them doing that.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> apartment suffered damage<br />
in the February and <strong>June</strong>, 20 1,<br />
earthquakes and were demolished in<br />
late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the<br />
difference betw en indemnity value,<br />
$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,<br />
$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body<br />
corporate.<br />
<strong>The</strong> mediation agr ement<br />
prevented Mr White from disclosing<br />
the se tlement amount, but he said it<br />
involved the two parties paying “a bit<br />
more money than they’d wanted to<br />
earlier.”<br />

A WOOLSTON butcher proved<br />
to be a cut above the rest in an<br />
international competition.<br />
New World Fe ry Rd butcher<br />
Jeremy Garth and his team, the<br />
Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently<br />
came second a the World<br />
Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern<br />
Ireland.<br />
It was the firs time Mr Garth<br />
had competed in the cha lenge<br />
and he was “rea ly proud” of<br />
how the team performed.<br />
“We produced some top quality<br />
products and came away<br />
with a g od result so we’re very<br />
ha py,” he said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> preparation for this year’s<br />
World Butchers’ Cha lenge was<br />
intense as the team members<br />
met in Auckland every two<br />
months for lengthy w ekend<br />
practices.<br />
Mr Garth, who has b en a<br />
butcher for 14 years, said the<br />
competition brought back his<br />
pa sion for the job.<br />
“Doing a l thi stuff and<br />
m eting new people, s eing new<br />
ideas, it just brings that flair<br />
back for you,” he said.<br />
Mr Garth hopes to own a<br />
butcher shop of his own someday<br />
but says for now he wi l focus<br />
on ge ting mor experience<br />
and on the 2020 cha lenge.<br />
“In two years’ time, we’ l be<br />
going back to try and win the<br />
title,” he said.<br />

A hearing i scheduled to be<br />

<strong>The</strong> bylaw comes as an increasing<br />

In the past year, the district<br />

AN U PER Ri carton butcher<br />
has proven himself to be a cut<br />
above his Au sie rivals at an<br />
international competition.<br />
Elite Meats owner Corey<br />
Winder was named in the a l<br />
star team a the World Butchers’<br />
Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.<br />
Mr Winder and his team, the<br />
Pure South Sharp Blacks, which<br />

Jeremy Garth, finished second<br />

He said the cha lenge started<br />
as a “transtasman test match”<br />

<strong>The</strong> preparation for this<br />
year’s World Butchers’ Challenge<br />
was intense as the team<br />
members met in Auckland<br />
every two months for lengthy<br />
w ekend practices. Mr Winder<br />
said coming second against 1<br />
other countries was a “fantastic”<br />

“To get second behind Ireland<br />
was a huge achievement and to<br />
be ahead of Australia is an<br />

Australian team.<br />
“Those guys over there<br />
[Australia] are on top of their<br />

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if<br />
the city council would endorse the<br />

“I’d like to think so because the<br />

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand<br />
has b en a proached in a bid to<br />
fina ly repair the potholes in New<br />
Brighton’s Hawke St car park.<br />
Coastal-Burw od Ward city<br />
counci lor David East wants<br />
WorkSafe to pre sure the car<br />
park’s private owners into<br />
repairing the potholes which are<br />
a “trip and vehicle” hazard.<br />
WorkSafe chief inspector<br />
a se sment southern Da ren<br />
Handforth said it may be able to<br />
take action under the Health and<br />
Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a<br />
person conducting a busine s or<br />
undertaking.”<br />
Mr Handforth said WorkSafe<br />
is aware of the concerns raised by<br />
Cr East abou the car park.<br />
“WorkSafe has completed<br />
an a se sment visi to the site<br />
and is engaging with the owner<br />
to advise them that it is their<br />
responsibility to manage their<br />
risks a propriately.”<br />
Different parts of the car park<br />
are owned by various people<br />
and the Coastal-Burw od<br />
Community Board recently<br />
wrote to them about its concerns<br />
around health and safety.<br />
Cr East said the bi gest i sue<br />
in the past has b en ge ting in<br />
touch with the landlords and<br />
owners and ge ting them to<br />
agr e to anything. “<strong>The</strong> board<br />
a preciates that multi-ownership<br />
of the parking space may present<br />
a difficulty in co-ordinating<br />
repair/resurfacing but felt obliged<br />
to pa s these concerns onto you,”<br />
said the le ter.<br />
One reply has b en received so<br />
far from an owner who is wi ling<br />
to discu s the i sue. However, a l<br />
the owners would have to agr e<br />
to undertake work.<br />
Cr East said there had b en<br />
a “number of incidences” in<br />
the car park of people injuring<br />
themselves which had gone<br />
unreported.<br />
“I’ve always though that it<br />
has b en quite amazing that we<br />
haven’t had any serious a cidents<br />
or senior citizens perhaps<br />
tri ping in those potholes and<br />
doing themselve some damage.”<br />
He is confiden the new<br />
a proach wi l bring results.<br />
“I think the WorkSafe<br />
involvement may prove to be the<br />
lever that we are l oking for.”<br />
New bid to fix potholes<br />
Action looms<br />

THE PAPANUI-I nes<br />
Community Board has taken the<br />
rare step of starting a petition<br />
to figh the city council over<br />
funding.<br />
Signatures are being co lected<br />
in a bid to get funding for a community<br />
facility in Shirley.<br />
It comes after the city council<br />
removed funding for the centre<br />
pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the<br />
intersection with Hi ls Rd. This<br />
was the site of the former community<br />
centre, which was badly<br />
damaged in the February 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake.<br />
<strong>The</strong> removal o funding<br />
prompted community board<br />
chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten<br />
to stand down, citing it as her “die<br />
in the ditch” project.<br />
Ms Jone said the board’s role<br />
is to represen the community,<br />
and by gathering signatures from<br />
residents, it was fulfi ling that<br />
role.<br />
“One of the roles of a community<br />
board is to represent and act<br />
as advocate for the interests of its<br />
community and this is what we<br />
are doing. <strong>The</strong> LTP and a nual<br />
plans are a l about lo bying the<br />

Cave Rock<br />
Apartments’<br />
owners<br />
expect EQC<br />
sign-off<br />
this week<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave<br />
Rock Apartments ar expecting the<br />
Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off<br />
on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.<br />
Body corporate chairman Mike<br />
White said the group had gone<br />
into mediation with IAG and EQC<br />
on February 20, and signed off<br />
on a deal with IAG on February<br />
2 – coincidenta ly seven years<br />
to the day after the February 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake. However, they<br />
are waiting for EQC to sign the<br />
agr ement.<br />
“Given that EQC actua ly drafted<br />
the agr ement, there’ l be no<br />
problem with them doing that.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> apartment suffered damage<br />
in the February and <strong>June</strong>, 20 1,<br />
earthquakes and were demolished in<br />
late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the<br />
difference betw en indemnity value,<br />
$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,<br />
$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body<br />
corporate.<br />
<strong>The</strong> mediation agr ement<br />
prevented Mr White from disclosing<br />
the se tlement amount, but he said it<br />
involved the two parties paying “a bit<br />
more money than they’d wanted to<br />
earlier.”<br />

A WOOLSTON butcher proved<br />
to be a cut above the rest in an<br />
international competition.<br />
New World Fe ry Rd butcher<br />
Jeremy Garth and his team, the<br />
Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently<br />
came second a the World<br />
Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern<br />
Ireland.<br />
It was the firs time Mr Garth<br />
had competed in the cha lenge<br />
and he was “rea ly proud” of<br />
how the team performed.<br />
“We produced some top quality<br />
products and came away<br />
with a g od result so we’re very<br />
ha py,” he said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> preparation for this year’s<br />
World Butchers’ Cha lenge was<br />
intense as the team members<br />
met in Auckland every two<br />
months for lengthy w ekend<br />
practices.<br />
Mr Garth, who has b en a<br />
butcher for 14 years, said the<br />
competition brought back his<br />
pa sion for the job.<br />
“Doing a l thi stuff and<br />
m eting new people, s eing new<br />
ideas, it just brings that flair<br />
back for you,” he said.<br />
Mr Garth hopes to own a<br />
butcher shop of his own someday<br />
but says for now he wi l focus<br />
on ge ting mor experience<br />
and on the 2020 cha lenge.<br />
“In two years’ time, we’ l be<br />
going back to try and win the<br />
title,” he said.<br />

A CRACKDOWN on mobile<br />
traders acro s the districts could<br />
be l oming.<br />
However, the public has li tle<br />
interest in having input into the<br />
i sue.<br />
Only eight submi sions were<br />
received for a potential bylaw<br />
aimed at regulating commercial<br />
activities in public places.<br />
<strong>The</strong> district council wi l be<br />
holding a hearing for the Public<br />
Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial<br />
Activities and Events in<br />
Public Places.<br />
A hearing i scheduled to be<br />
held on Thursday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> bylaw comes as an increasing<br />
number of mobile traders<br />
are s eking to operate in Selwyn,<br />
especia ly during the summer<br />
months.<br />
In the past year, the district<br />
council has received five inquiries<br />
about se ting up a mobile busine s<br />
on private or public land.<br />
A report said there are two<br />
str et operators in Darfield, a<br />
coff e cart is parked beside the<br />
railway in Ro leston, and a pi za<br />
cart visits Lincoln w ekly betw en<br />
September-May along with a Thai<br />

Pupils learn about role of war horses<br />
GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils<br />
have taken a step back in time,<br />
s eing first hand what men and<br />
horses l oked like during war.<br />
<strong>The</strong> New Zealand Mounted<br />
Rifles Charitable Trust president<br />
Mark A pleton and member<br />
Mike Donaldson t ok their<br />
horses to the sch ol on Monday,<br />
in a bid to educate pupils on the<br />
sacrifice their ancestors made in<br />
World War 1 and World War 2.<br />
Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson<br />
a rived a the sch ol dre sed<br />
in World War 1 uniforms while<br />
their horses Tommy and Kruze<br />
wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated<br />
to the trust.<br />
<strong>The</strong> presentation is a prelude<br />
to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve<br />
Management Commi t e’s<br />
upcoming Anzac Day service.<br />
As a tribute to those who<br />
served, members of the trust wi l<br />
ride horseback to the service.<br />
Mr A pleton said it was<br />
important children were<br />
educated on what soldiers<br />
wen through during World<br />
War 1 and World War 2.<br />
But he said the presentation<br />
didn’t go into t o much detail<br />
and was more of a “show and<br />
te l” to make them aware of what<br />
the soldiers l oked like.<br />
Children were shown the type<br />
of kits horses were required to<br />
wear in the war.<br />

AN U PER Ri carton butcher<br />
has proven himself to be a cut<br />
above his Au sie rivals at an<br />
international competition.<br />
Elite Meats owner Corey<br />
Winder was named in the a l<br />
star team a the World Butchers’<br />
Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.<br />
Mr Winder and his team, the<br />
Pure South Sharp Blacks, which<br />
includes W olston butcher<br />
Jeremy Garth, finished second<br />
in the competition.<br />
He said the cha lenge started<br />
as a “transtasman test match”<br />
seven years ago.<br />
<strong>The</strong> preparation for this<br />
year’s World Butchers’ Challenge<br />
was intense as the team<br />
members met in Auckland<br />
every two months for lengthy<br />
w ekend practices. Mr Winder<br />
said coming second against 1<br />
other countries was a “fantastic”<br />
result.<br />
“To get second behind Ireland<br />
was a huge achievement and to<br />
be ahead of Australia is an<br />
even bi ger thing for us,” he<br />
said.<br />
But Mr Winder admires the<br />
Australian team.<br />
“Those guys over there<br />
[Australia] are on top of their<br />
game, they do a g od job,” he<br />
said.<br />
“And it just showcases that<br />
New Zealand has got some<br />
of the best butchers in the<br />
world,” he said.<br />
Mr Winder has b en a butcher<br />
since the age of 19.<br />

THE HALSWE L-Hornby-<br />
Ri carton Community Board<br />
has b en given the gr en ligh to<br />
o pose the pla ned qua ry near<br />
Templeton.<br />
Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the<br />
board on Thursday it had the okay<br />
from the city council to make a<br />
submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies<br />
for a resource consen to create a<br />
qua ry.<br />
Board chairman Mike Mora<br />
told Western News the submi sion<br />
would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s<br />
plan.<br />
“You can just about guarant e<br />
it . because we [the community<br />
board] don’t believe qua ries<br />
should be so close to residential<br />
areas,” he said.<br />
Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if<br />
the city council would endorse the<br />
board’ submi sion.<br />
“I’d like to think so because the<br />
city council has had their eyes<br />
open as we l ove recent years over<br />
the crysta line silica risk,” he said.<br />
Mr Mora said the community<br />
board wi l be “representing and<br />
advocating” for the Templeton<br />
community.<br />

management.<br />
e iconic local pub has been taken over by experienced<br />
hospitality operators Graham and Fay Wali.<br />
Originally from Otago and well known for their genuine<br />
southern hospitality, the Wali family has been managing bars and<br />
restaurants in the Canterbury region for over 5 years.<br />
Although they only took over the neighbourhood local three<br />
months ago, regulars are already praising improvements to the<br />
business. In particular the food.<br />
“We’re very lucky to have Tracey Cashin on board operating the<br />
bistro,” said Graham.<br />
During her career Chef<br />
Little<br />

Tracey Cashin has been<br />
part of numerous<br />
Canterbury based food<br />
operations and has<br />
recently been awarded a<br />
prestigious <strong>2019</strong> Beef and<br />
Lamb Excellence award<br />
for one of her dishes.<br />
Graham Wali & Chef Tracey Cashin<br />
“I’m very excited to be<br />
working with Graham and Fay,” said Tracey. “We’ve put together<br />
new lunch and dinner menus and already have a couple of items,<br />
such as my Seafood Chowder and our succulent Ribs, that<br />
repeatedly sell out.”<br />
e new menu’s offer a good selection of dishes that are family<br />
friendly and extremely affordable. Lunch choices range Moroccan<br />
Chicken Tacos, and Corn Fritter Stacks through to Lambs Fry<br />
and Bacon, Roast of the Day, and a 200g Rump Steak - all priced<br />
at only $15. Dinner choices include the same exceptional value<br />
$15 200g Rump Steak through to Lamb Shanks (one for $26, two<br />
for $32), Black Doris Plum Chicken ($25), Pasta of the Day ($22),<br />
and Flintstone Steak ($32), to name a few.<br />
“We’re also offering Gold Card Holders a $5 dessert with lunch<br />
orders and have a great kiddies menu too,” said Tracey.<br />
