New airport security to watch
for drugs and terror threats
WATCHING: A new team of specialised behavioural detection officers will soon begin at Christchurch Airport in a bid
to identify signs of unusual and anomalous behaviour.

• By Sophie Cornish
SPECIALISED security officers
will soon patrol Christchurch
Airport to detect behaviours
which could indicate people
are carrying drugs or are a
potential terror threat.
The Aviation Security Service
is in the process of hiring a
team to work in the public and
passenger-only parts of the
terminal.
It comes after a successful
year-long trial at Auckland
International Airport.
The behavioural detection officers
watch for people showing
signs of unusual and anomalous
behaviour.
If they detect certain
behaviours, the officers then
engage with the individuals, to
ensure they have a legitimate
reason for being at the
airport and don’t pose a
safety threat.
Border agencies in other
parts of the world also
use behavioural detection
techniques.

Hospital
delayed
again after
fire system
problems
• By Sophie Cornish
CHRISTCHURCH Hospital’s
new $500 million building has
been delayed once again - this
time over fire protection issues.
The Hagley acute services building
was originally planned to
open in 2018.
A Ministry of Health spokeswoman
confirmed yesterday
handover of the 10-storey building
to the Canterbury District
Health Board will now take place
in the first half of this year, not
the first quarter, as previously announced
in November.
It will be at least the fifth time
the handover has been delayed.
Previously, CDHB chief
executive David Meates stated
it was “imperative” the building
was opened by this winter,
anticipating a shortfall of up to
100 beds.
Remediation work required for
the building’s passive fire systems
was a “major contributor” to the
most recent delay, a ministry
spokeswoman said.
Passive fire systems, also known
as passive fire protection are an
important component of fire protection
and safety and must meet
certain regulations.
PFP aims to contain fires and
slow their spread by using a range
of materials such as fire-resistant
walls, floors and doors.

A FLURRY of concern on
social media led to a man being
accused of taking potentially
inappropriate photos of school
children outside two Hornby
schools on Tuesday.
It was later discovered the man,
who had been taking photos of
students outside Hornby High
and Hornby Primary schools,
both on Waterloo Rd, was gathering
information for a bid to make
the road safer to cross.
The Waterloo Rd resident is
preparing to bring a case before
the city council in an effort to
make the road safer for students.
Both schools shared a Facebook
post which said “Suspicious

been advised by a staff member
of Hornby High that after
school today there was a man
outside both of the schools taking
photos of the children crossing
the road. When approached
by the staff member, he quickly
disappeared. Please remind
your children about stranger
danger and to report suspicious
behaviour to an adult.”
A later update on the Greater
Hornby Residents Association
Inc Facebook page clarified the
incident and said the man was
“acting in the best interest of
the Hornby community.
“He apologies for any undue
concern caused and will soon
be talking to the schools asking
for their support for proposal to
council,” the post said.
Huge water use may
lead to restrictions
SOARING temperatures have
led to unsustainable water use in
Christchurch which could result
in water restrictions.
On Monday, more than 260
million litres of water were used
across the city, an average of
552-litres per person, resulting in
city council revealing the water
supply is under “extreme pressure.”
A similar amount of water
was used on Sunday when the
temperatures in the city peaked
at 35 deg C.
The measurements are the
highest recorded for the city’s
water use in a decade, the city
council said yesterday, calling for
people to ease
back on their
water use in the
coming days.
City council
head of three
waters and waste
Helen Beaumont
Helen
Beaumont
said that level
of demand is
unsustainable.
“Our concern is that if the
demand for water doesn’t lessen
significantly, we won’t have
adequate flow and pressure in
some areas, which is also a big
concern when it comes to the
city’s preparedness for fighting
fires,” she said.
Yesterday, firefighters were

still battling to keep two fires in
North Canterbury under control
following a declaration of extreme
fire risk over the weekend.
“We don’t want to have to
impose water restrictions, but
if the demand doesn’t ease off,
we will have no choice. We need
people to stop using sprinklers
and garden irrigation systems
to water lawns and gardens.
If your garden needs watering,
use a hand-held hose and
water before 7am or after 9pm,
when it’s cooler. And please,
avoid watering lawns or grass
berms.”
Level four water restrictions,
the highest level, were introduced
in parts of Banks Peninsula
on Monday, after streams that
supply drinking water to Akaroa,
Duvauchelle and Takamatua
dropped suddenly.
Level 4 restrictions means all
use of water outside the house
must cease.

in brief
Tram crashes into
glass doors
Emergency services were kept
busy yesterday after three
separate crashes. A tram was
travelling through Cathedral
Junction between Gloucester and
Hereford Sts about 9.15am when
it hit glass doors, shattering
panels and blocking the tram
tracks. The five passengers
on board and the driver were
uninjured. About 10.30am a
crash between a motor-cycle and
a van in Burnside left two people
injured, one moderately. Soon
after at 10.45am, a car travelled
over a kerb and into Super
Liquor’s Ilam store on Waimairi
Rd. No one was injured.
NZTA warns of
registration scam
New Zealand’s Transport
Agency is warning of a new
email scam asking people to
renew their car registration
details and hand over personal
information. The sophisticated
scam uses an nzta.co.nz suffix,
which is very similar to the
NZTA suffix, nzta.govt.nz. It
takes unsuspecting people to
a webpage and asks for driver
licence details and banking
information. If an email was
genuinely sent from NZTA, it
would already include specific
vehicle details such as the
vehicle’s plate number, make and
expiring date of current licence.
Over four million
library books, not fines
Last week The Star reported
the city council handed out
4,734,658 fines for overdue
library books last year and
4,664,676 in 2018. This was
incorrect, the city council

last year and issued 4,664,676 in
2018.

Detection officers
used worldwide
• From page 1
The New Zealand programme is
the most developed in Australasia,
an Aviation Security Service
spokesman said. It has ongoing
support from a multinational
working group, including
behavioural science experts.
In the United States, there
has been controversy over the
programme, with some believing
it encourages profiling based on
race, ethnicity and religion.
A Department of Homeland
Security document leaked to US
media in 2015 revealed a checklist
of 94 behavioural indicators its
BDOs searched for, such as exaggerated
yawning, excessive throat
clearing, widely open staring
eyes, exaggerated emotions and
improper clothing attire.
Others included having a pale
face from recently shaving a
beard, excessive complaints about
the screening process, whistling
while approaching the screening
process, gazing downwards,
appearing not to understand
questions, exaggerated or repetitive
grooming gestures, rubbing
or wringing of hands, appearing
to be in disguise and arriving late
for a flight.
An Aviation Security Service
spokesman said its BDOs would
never make assessments based
on the race, gender, or physical
appearance of passengers.
Due to security implications,
the spokesman was unable to
say what behavioural indicators
might be searched for at New
Zealand airports.
“Our officers understand that
flying and navigating airports can
at times be a stressful experience
for travellers, so they take that
into account and look for a wide
range of anomalous behaviour
which you wouldn’t normally expect
to see in an airport setting,”
he said.
The successful trial at Auckland
International Airport led to the
permanent establishment of an
Auckland team.
“The team successfully
identified a range of people
exhibiting suspicious behaviour
who were of concern to law
enforcement agencies. These
people included an outgoing
passenger who was trying to
travel with more than 500
credit cards, and others trying
to carry significant amounts of
undeclared cash, as well as illegal
drugs.”

Contractor now fixing
fire protection problems
• From page 1
Issues were identified by a
consultant during a quality
assurance process and as a result,
a full audit of the passive fire
installations was ordered, a MOH
spokeswoman said.
“The contractor is now fixing
the issue, closely monitored by
our consultants to ensure its carried

“The defects are mostly minor,

satisfied there was sufficient fire

The cost of the remediation
work will be met by the contractor.
The health board originally
planned to move into the
building in September 2018.
Construction began in mid-2015.
The handover was then pushed
back to May last year, then
September, then November and
then again, by the end of the first
quarter (March) this year.
Open days for staff and the
public and a blessing for the new
building were planned for October

public are finding the delays
incredibly disappointing. Not just
the board, the public and staff, we
are all in this together, it’s everyone’s
facility.”
Board member James Gough
said the recent delay was a
“hugely disappointing scenario.”
Due to a combination of
factors, including population
growth, Mr Meates previously
said the new build will not
increase overall patient capacity.
While already operating
under “significant capacity
constraints” Mr Meates said
winter, being the busiest period
for hospitals, would be “not
the time to be moving complex
patients into unfamiliar areas.”

PEOPLE CAN now get alerts
directly to their mobile phones
if there are increased reports of
crime in their area.
Using information provided
by police, Gets Ready, an online
database recognised by Civil
Defence can be used by district
councils and neighbourhood
support groups to share information
and warnings during
emergencies.
The purpose-built web system
allows residents to securely
record their contact details, and
any special needs, resources and
skills they want to share, to help
their local community during
an emergency.
But more recently, the database
is being used to alert those
who have registered, about
increased crime in their neighbourhoods,
also known as ‘risk
location updates.’
The information is provided
by police, based on reports they
have received.
On Tuesday, Addington residents

text or email telling them their
area had been a hot spot for car
theft recently.
“In the last week there has
been a high concentration of
unlawful motor vehicle takes
in the Addington area. All have

Four vehicles were targeted in one
night in a public car park, and
four vehicles were taken on separate
occasions while parked on
the road. Seven of the nine takes
occurred on Monday and Tuesday
evening,” the update said.
Yesterday, police said it was

Plan to make
intersection
safer on hold
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
PLANS TO transform the city’s
fourth most dangerous junction
into a T-intersection to reduce
crashes has been put on hold.
The Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board has postponed
making a decision on making a $1
million safety upgrade to the Ilam/
Riccarton/Middleton Rd intersection.
It comes after city council staff
presented a detailed report to
the board last week requesting it
endorsed its preferred design of restricting
the use of Middleton Rd.
This would be by changing access/egress
to left in, left out, and
changing Ilam Rd and Middleton
Rd to a T intersection.
As of June last year, 40 crashes
with varying degree of injury had
been reported at the intersection
since 2011 making it the fourth
most dangerous in the city.
The decision to defer making any
calls on making safety improvements
follows concerns the three
newly-elected board members did
not have a strong enough understanding
of the issue.
Board member Mark Peters
called for the report on the
intersection to “lay on the table”
until the board had received
another briefing by city council
staff.

One third

RECYCLING BINS will be
checked a second time after it was
found one in three people were
not recycling properly.
A team of four has begun visually
inspecting the contents of recycling
bins put out for kerbside collection
as part of the city council’s efforts to
improve recycling habits.
While about two-thirds of people
are clearly making an effort to
recycle properly, about one-third
appear to be using their yellow
wheelie bin for general rubbish.
Said city council solid waste manager
Ross Trotter: “The team has
found nappies, food waste, blinds,
and even hedgehogs in the recycling
bins, which is just unacceptable.
“The yellow bins are for specific
household recyclable items and we
will not tolerate them being used
for general rubbish.’’
The only items that belong in
the yellow bin are cardboard, aluminium
cans, clear and coloured
glass bottles, metal tins, plastic
containers, aerosol cans, paper,
plastic bottles and empty cleaning
containers.
Bottles and containers must
be rinsed and have their lids
removed, and placed in the red

SUMNER HAS been hit by
a strange crime wave – and
the culprit is not pussyfooting
around.
Jasper the cat lives on Wiggins
St and has been stealing items
from houses as far as two blocks
over from his home.
The one-year-old male burmese
has pinched items such as socks,
underwear, gloves, baby clothes
and swimming trunks, among
other items since before Christmas.
Owner Mette Kristiansen said
Jasper’s rampage started out at
home where he would take socks
off of the washing line and chew
them up.
But suddenly, clothing she did
not recognise started appearing
in the back hallway.
“To be honest it was quite
funny, it was amusing.”
Now, she is attempting to right
Jasper’s wrongs by returning the
stolen goods to their owners.
“As time has gone on I’ve
realised that I would really like
to find the people who own these
things. These things are not cheap
to buy and I’m sure these people
want them back.”
After Ms Kristiansen posted
about Jasper’s antics on the Sumner

GARY STEAD was reluctant
to take a “pre-planned” break
from the Black Caps but there
is nothing sinister about the
decision to sit out the one-day
international series against India.
New Zealand Cricket chief
executive David White has hit
back at stinging criticism of his
national coach after it was announced
that Stead would not be
at the helm of the Black Caps for
the three-match series against
Virat Kohli’s touring side – in
spite of the recent thrashing in
the T20 series, following the
3-0 sweep in the test series in
Australia.
The announcement led to an
outcry of disbelief, including
from former Black Caps captain
Jeremy Coney who labelled it
“ridiculous” and suggested Stead
find a job in a hardware store.
Addressing the media ahead
of the first ODI at Seddon Park
in Hamilton, White said that
while he “could understand the
passion,” the criticism of Stead
was unfair and that the decision,
taken by NZC, was an attempt to
hold onto Stead.
“Player and support staff
workload is a big issue in international
cricket. We lost our
last coach Mike Hesson [who
resigned suddenly in June 2018]
to workload issues,” White said.
“We want to make this role
sustainable going forward and
that’s why Gary is having a week
off.”
White also revealed the decision
was taken some six months
ago and that Stead was reluctant
to take a break.
“It’s been a challenging time
for us but this planning was
done six months ago. If you go
back and look at the timing – the
World Cup, then a tour to Sri
Lanka, then a full tour by England,
then going to Australia and
then playing India now, it’s been
a big time commitment so we
identified this series,” White said.
“And it’s not only Gary. Chris
Donaldson [the Black Caps’
strength and conditioning
coach] is having the week off
this week and we’re constantly
rotating our support staff to
ensure that they manage their
workload.

NZC hits back at Stead criticism
OUTCRY:
David White
(above) is
backing the
decision for
coach Gary
Stead to sit
out the oneday
series
against India.
“Of any sport in New Zealand,
cricket has the most demands
for time. These guys are away
from home for a long time and
we must manage their workload.”
Prioritising the T20 World
Cup later this year, as well as the
new Test Championship, was
also a consideration in the timing,
said White.
“For this Indian tour we’ve
prioritised preparing for the T20
World Cup . . . so the five T20s
were a priority and obviously the
Test Championship is a priority.
“When we did the schedule
some six months ago, Gary has
always been a reluctant coach
to have a break. The man works
very, very hard so as managers
we must manage his workload
or we will have burnout. As you
know, coaching at international
level is one of the hardest jobs in
cricket.” – New Zealand Herald

Diplomat warns travel ban may
Canterbury
business
could suffer
• By Louis Day
CHRISTCHURCH’S leading
Chinese diplomat is warning the
Government’s travel ban from
China could damage trade and
tourism in the future.
The travel ban came into
full effect on Monday, placing
temporary restrictions on all
foreign nationals travelling from
or transiting
through China in
an effort to stop
the coronavirus
spreading to New
Zealand.
Chinese
Consul General
in Christchurch
Wang Zhijian
said the ban was
Wang
Zhijian
an “overreaction” which could
harm business between the two
countries in the future.
“We believe this kind of ban
will not do good to the relationship
between China and New
Zealand,” he told The Star.
“It could not only hurt the New
Zealand economy but also the
sentiment Chinese people hold
towards New Zealand.”
His calls have been echoed by
other Chinese diplomats in New
Zealand and Australia.
New Zealand Chinese ambassador
Wu Xi warned the ban
would have an impact on trade,
tourism and education.
Chinese Consul General in
Auckland Ruan Ping said the
Government’s decision could
have an impact on business
between the two countries in the
future.
Australian Chinese embassy
deputy head of mission Wang
Xining said measures in response
to the epidemic “need to be
reasonable.” He appealed for
compensation for travellers and
students affected by the lockdown.
ChristchurchNZ chief executive
Joanna Norris said the full
economic impact of the travel
ban was not yet known.
However, she expected there
to be a significant impact on
tourism and visitor spending in
Canterbury and the South Island
while travel restrictions and reduced
air services were in place.
“In February and March 2019,
approximately $25-30 million in
exports left Christchurch by air
for China,” she said.
Christchurch’s main exports to
China last year were fish and seafood
(about $10 million), cereals
and flour (about $2 million) and
machinery (about $14 million).
From January to November last
year, Chinese tourists spent $171
million, in 2018 they spent $222
million and in 2017 $196 million
in Canterbury.
In February last year, a total of
8800 Chinese tourists spent $40
million.
ChristchurchNZ expects a 24
per cent reduction in tour group
numbers this month due to all
Chinese groups being cancelled
this month.
Canterbury Employers’ Chamber
of Commerce chief executive
Leeann Watson did not think
the ban would have any lasting
impact on China’s relationship
with Christchurch.
“It will have an impact on our
economy, will it have an impact
on our relationship with China?
I don’t think so, I would like to
think our relationship is bigger
than that,” she said.

harm future
Beijing is ‘dead quiet’
TRAVEL BAN: A China Southern Airlines B787 at
Christchurch Airport.
However, Mr Zhijian said it
“will take some time” for China’s
relationship with New Zealand
and tourism to return to what it
was before the ban.
China Southern Airlines
has suspended its direct daily
flight between Guangzhou and
Christchurch from February 10
to March 28.
“This month is the peak
season for Chinese tourists
coming to Christchurch. Not all
of them will decide to come back
next year.
“Some of them will have suffered
a lot from economic loss, it may be
difficult for them to come back.”
Mr Zhijian was also concerned
for students stranded in China
from the travel ban.
A Canterbury University
spokeswoman said it had identified
about 500 students who had
been impacted by the travel ban.
“We have emailed all of our
international students directly
and asked for details of their
situation, so we can use this
information to keep them
updated and support them
through online enrolment and
online learning if they are delayed
in arriving in time for semester
1, which begins on February 17.
This number may increase as we
receive further information from
students,” she said.
• By Luke Kirkness
A MAN who left his wife in
Beijing and brought his children
back to Christchurch to get them
out of harm’s way says there are
signs the deadly coronavirus
outbreak is getting worse.
Kelvin Gin arrived in
Christchurch at the weekend
with his three children and said
China’s once thunderous capital
city had been “dead quiet” in
recent weeks.
“We sat there just twiddling
our thumbs for a while and
then it just started to get worse
and worse,” Mr Gin told the NZ
Herald.
“There were just little signs in
Beijing and we said: ‘Maybe we
should take the kids out’.”
The former Colmar Brunton
employee said the numbers of face
masks were slowly dwindling and
he hadn’t seen any hand sanitiser
in around three weeks.
In the local supermarkets,
occasionally there would be a
shortage of bread or the price of
products would be inflated, with
apples reaching prices of $10-$20.
“Those signs were around and
then you start reading the media
and you start thinking maybe
we should step out of this for a
while,” Mr Gin said.
Other ominous signs included
walking past train stations and
bus stops to see people constantly
ESCAPE: Kelvin Gin and his children on their way to Beijing
International Airport.
checking their temperatures.
The death toll from viral coronavirus
outbreak which began in
Wuhan, China, had by yesterday
afternoon risen to almost 500 and
there have been more than 20,000
confirmed cases world-wide.
Most of the deaths had been in
central Hubei province, where
illness from the new virus was
first detected in December.
But given the circumstances,
the Beijing local government
had done a “great job” to try and
manage the situation as best they
could, Mr Gin said.
Measures included limiting
inner-city travel and closing
down almost everything, apart
from the odd supermarket.
More or less a trailing spouse,
Mr Gin said the family moved to
China from Jakarta at the start
of 2020 to start a new chapter of
their lives.
His wife, an Irish national, was
working for a non-profit organisation
in Beijing and
while she could travel to New
Zealand despite being a foreign
national, Mr Gin thought she
would stay.
“We were planning for her
to come over at some stage but
that’s been looked over, but
there is a caveat in that where
immediate family can join you,”
he said.

Confidence Instead of
Overreaction in Combating
New Virus
The outbreak of pneumonia
caused by the novel coronavirus
has drawn worldwide attention.
I still recall how China tackled
the challenge of SARS epidemic
17 years ago, and this time China
is more experienced and better
prepared.
China has full capability to defeat
the disease. With its world leading
medical forces and technological
foundation built up over the past
decades as well as the advantage in
mobilizing resources nationwide
rapidly, China has not only
successfully contained outbreaks
of several severe epidemics but
also aided West Africa in their
fight against Ebola. This time, with
instructions from President Xi
Jinping, all of China is in action,
demonstrating unprecedented
speed, strength and effectiveness.
Many measures taken have
extended beyond requirements of
World Health Organization and
are showing positive effects. It is
unprecedented in human history
to lock down a megacity with over
10 million people as epicenter of
disease. So far 524 patients have
been cured including 80-yearolds,
and the number cured has
exceeded death toll. WHO has
fully endorsed China’s decisive
measures and timely responses.
China has also been conducting
international cooperation
in an open, transparent and
responsible manner. We identified
the pathogens and shared its
sequence with the WHO and
other countries at earliest time,
which has resulted in the rapid
development of diagnostic tools.
The Chinese government has
attached great importance to the
safety and wellbeing of foreign
nationals in China, and worked
hard to look after them. Currently,
foreigners including New Zealand
citizens in Wuhan and other cities
have sufficient access to daily
necessities and medical care.
In case of crisis, keeping a cool
head is crucial. There is no need
to panic and we have nothing to
fear but fear itself. If abiding by
medical advice, the likelihood of
infection is very low. The epidemic
PAID ADVERTISING CONTENT
situation should be assessed
in an objective, just, calm and
reasonable way. There are so far
144 cases in 23 countries outside
China without causing large-scale
outbreaks or death toll. Humanto-human
transmission has only
been found in 3 countries outside
China. The spread momentum
of the virus is being curbed
within and outside the country.
As Health Minister David Clark
pointed out, probability of largescale
outbreaks in New Zealand is
unlikely.
The determination of a Public
Health Emergency of International
Concern (PHEIC) is mainly to
caution those countries with
weaker health systems. New
Zealand as a member country
of OECD, has mature epidemic
response system and protective
capabilities. Apart from taking
necessary precaution, there is no
need to overreact. WHO does not
recommend any travel or trade
restriction on China. If free flow of
personnel or goods were restricted
between our two countries, not
only China but New Zealand
will also suffer heavy economic
losses and friendly ties among our
peoples may be hampered. We
should guard against overreaction
that may result in more negative
spillover effects.
China is strengthening
collaboration with the
international community
including New Zealand to
safeguard global public health
security. Our Consulate General
is also keeping close contacts
with local DHBs. Throughout
human history, no country has
been defeated by any epidemic
let along the human race. At
the age of globalization, only
through enhancing international
cooperation could we cope with
non-traditional threats like
epidemics effectively. Under
current circumstances, confidence
is more precious than gold. We
believe the world could prevail
over the new disease very soon
with joint efforts.

Consul General in Christchurch

Flexible barriers
‘a success story’
• By Sophie Cornish
LESS THAN a year after
they were installed, flexible
barriers on a high-crash
road have been labelled a
“success story.”
Six cars have been caught
by the barriers on Queen
Elizabeth II Drive between
Burwood and Innes Rds.
Between January 2008
and December 2017, there
were two deaths and 13
serious injuries following
vehicle collisions on the
stretch of road.
In July last year, the barriers,
which are designed
to ‘catch vehicles’ that leave
their lane, were installed
along the stretch of road,
as part of a $2.5 million
New Zealand Transport
Agency road safety project.
Since then, the barriers
have been struck six times,
between Marshland and
Burwood Rds, two on the
median barrier, potentially
preventing head-on collisions
and four on the edge

PARTS OF Summit Rd
could be closed at night
following the tragic death
of two sisters on the road
last year.
Seventeenyear-old

Alexander
died in the
crash in
November.
Her sister
Sunmara
died on
her 16th

birthday in hospital after
suffering critical injuries
and extensive burns from
the crash.
Their father, Jason
Alexander, delivered a
petition to the city council
asking it to make the road
safer last month.
City councillor and
chairman of the urban
development and transport
committee Mike Davidson
told The Star closing parts
of the road at night could
be a possibility.
“Closing the area

ditch crashes,” an NZTA
spokeswoman said.
When a vehicle hits a
barrier, the wire cables flex,
slowing down the vehicle
and keeping it upright during
and after a collision.
The barrier absorbs the
impact, reducing the force
on the people inside the
vehicle.
Currently, there are
no plans to permanently
remove the barriers.
“However, on January
20, construction began on
a 500m section of the road
with barriers to make it
could be an option. But I
personally think we need
to look at the whole of
Summit Rd because the
stretch has parts, which
if driven at speed can be
dangerous,” he said.
Cr Davidson said any
changes to Summit Rd
would require public
consultation.
“We have not made
any decisions to go into
consultation to close it
but it needs to be part of
discussions.”
The city council
consulted on the Summit
wider, after the originally
constructed width was
found to be slightly short
of the planned width.
“There is no cost to the
Transport Agency for this
remedial work, it is covered
in the contract with
the contractor,” an NZTA
spokeswoman said.
Prior to the barrier
installation, NZTA worked
with Fire and Emergency
New Zealand and other
stakeholders to allow for
the appropriate width for
emergency vehicles to
reach crash sites.

THE LES Mills City2Surf is an
event close to the heart of Sport
Canterbury, with the Regional
Sports Trust sponsoring the 6km
course each year to promote
greater participation and people
of all ages having a go.
“The Canterbury region is
known for placing great value on
the benefits of being active,” said
Sport Canterbury chief executive

“It’s no wonder we are home
to one of New Zealand’s most
iconic participation events, which

A SIX-YEAR-OLD girl who went
to the United States for lifesaving
cancer treatment has tragically
died.
Nora Guise was diagnosed
with Hepatoblastoma, a rare
cancer of the liver, that was also
found to be in her lungs.
She exhausted all of the curative
treatments available in New
Zealand but was accepted into
a CAR-T cell trial in the United
States that could be her last
chance for a cure.
The community helped to fundraise
more than $198,000 for
the experimental treatment.
It works by lowering the white
blood cell count with lymphodepleting
chemotherapy and then
inserting the CAR-T cells, which
boost the white blood cells back
up.
Nora and her mother Elyse,
father Rohan and three-year-old
sister Thea returned from Texas
in mid-December after spending
five weeks there getting treatment.
Nora, who lived in Rolleston,
was diagnosed in August 2018
and the cancer later spread to
her lungs.
In November 2018 she underwent
major surgery to remove
60 per cent of her liver and the

OPINION
N G Smith writes about
the changes to Victoria
St – When will this council
come to grips and start listening
to businesses and people who
frequent this area.
Destroy parking, create an unuser-friendly
environment and
you will have a parallel disaster
such as St Asaph and Manchester
Sts.
When will they learn that it’s
ratepayers’ cash they waste, and
the stupid expenditure is not the
gnomes within council to waste.
Why are our elected (so called)
councillors allowing this flagrant
stupidity at our expense.
The huge rate increases should
be enough to galvanise their
interest but as long as their remuneration
continues to grow they
have no reason to govern on our
behalf.
They should all be named and
shamed on how they vote on
matters like this.
Bronwen Summers writes
about last week’s article
about catering costs at
community board meetings
– It is outrageous the
amount of money that is spent
on catering at community board
meetings.
If these meetings go over
lunchtimes then surely, like the
general public, members need to
take their own lunch.
Morning and afternoon teas
should consist of packets of biscuits
and, or crackers and cheese.
OUR SOCIETY is as violent as
ever.
Week in, week out we read of
gang violence – shootings, beatings
of rivals and in extreme
cases murder and executions.
These crimes generally have
little impact on Joe Public.
But two cases this week, one
in Christchurch, the other in
Lower Hutt underlines how
easily some are willing to dish
out brutal violence to innocent
people.
Last year, a 59-year-old met
a woman online. Nothing
unusual in that. But what he
didn’t know was that she was a
‘honeytrap’. He was being set up
by people connected with the
woman.
His house was broken into,
a car, motor-cycle and laptop
stolen. But the offenders didn’t
get everything they wanted. The
following day, the 59-year-old
was at home when a car turned
up.
He tried to get away, but
to no avail. He was grabbed,
severely beaten and more items
were taken from the house.
The trio were later arrested and
this week were sent down for
lengthy jail terms.
In Lower Hutt, this week
23-year-old Emilio Richard
Mac Tanirau Whaanga pleaded
guilty to manslaughter after
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Society’s needless violence
killing a complete stranger with
a headbutt in a supermarket car
park.
His 55-year-old victim had
taken a day off work to take his
disabled mother to various appointments.
The disabled car parks were
full, so he pulled into one that
is marked for parents who have
children with them.
Tanirau Whaanga, who has
a record for violence, had his
partner and young child with
him, took exception.
From the
editor’s desk
Barry Clarke
The victim appeared to be
trying to explain to Tanirau
Whaanga there were no disability
car parks, he had a mobility
sticker and his elderly mother
was with him.
It didn’t wash with Tanirau
Whaanga, who closed the space
between them, before changing
his weight onto his right
foot and unleashing a massive
headbutt.
The victim was instantly
knocked out and fell to the
ground. Tanirau Whaanga
turned away and followed his
partner and child into the supermarket.
Two minutes later he exited
the supermarket but his car
was blocked by a taxi and he
couldn’t drive off. Police arrived
soon after and he was arrested.
The victim was taken to
hospital with multiple skull
fractures, and was taken off
life support the following
day.
Tanirau Whaanga later told
police he had “flinched,” the
victim had walked into his head
and he thought the victim was
going to attack him.
Yeah right.
But he did regret what happened
according to the police
summary of facts in court,
“questioning that it would impact
on his future employment
prospects.”
What about the 55-year-old,
Tanirau Whaanga?

Wednesday 12 February

PRIOR TO last week, I’d
managed to contain the majority
of Vittoria’s toddler tantrums to
within the realm of my house
or the house of a relative (or an
aeroplane when she was four
months old, but that was a long
time ago).
Now, I know the feeling of
having complete strangers look at
you in horror, because they likely
believe you are either kidnapping
a toddler, or murdering it.
Vittoria’s Nan overnighted at
our place last week to both make
it easier to get to her work shifts
and to allow me to go to dragon
boat training by looking after
Vittoria.
In an effort to repay my mum’s
help I offered to play driver on
some errands for her.
To my eternal gratitude, my
mum’s a keen bargain hunter,
so while we were on the errands
in Hornby we, of course, had
to stop in to check for some at
Dress-Smart.
I’d not taken Vittoria to a mall
since she’s been at full toddler
stage, so I was a little apprehensive.
Her behaviour put me in a
false sense of security though.
She was happy to hold my hand
while walking or just play around
the little rides you find in malls.
Particularly a Spot ride, that
yellow dog is a clear favourite
book character currently.
So following her around as she
explored while Mum looked for
what she needed seemed a good

things went downhill.
plan – until Vittoria saw the ice
cream shop.
Oh Lord, why do they always
put pictures of strawberries at
toddler height on those things?
As soon as she saw it she made
a beeline through the legs of
the good folks waiting on their
chilled treat to point at a picture
of strawberries and ice cream
and proudly say “storbies” with a
huge grin on her face.
It was then that I made the fatal
error of saying “no love, we’re
not having ice cream.”
My face must have been as red
as those damn strawberries as
I plucked the screaming ball of
rage that had replaced my daughter
from the front of the shop.
I dared not look at the faces of
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Handling screaming in public
VITTORIA
& Matt
the other adults, but in my mind
they were very disapproving.
And I’m sure the looks of horror
on the faces of the people I
passed while carrying a screaming
toddler they didn’t know was
mine around the mall in an effort
to calm her were very real.
She was top of the lungs going
for it. Writhing, kicking,
throwing her shoes around and
trying to just leave with strangers
on the lift. I fully doubt they
wanted to share the lift with her
though, they looked just as put
off as everyone else. I think, eye
contact was not something I was
keen on.
So after what felt like an hour of
this, I get a phone call from mum
saying she was done and wanted
to meet up. To get ice cream.
Grandparents eh? So after all
that, Vittoria got her strawberry
ice cream and I got a lesson in
how much perceived looks of
disapproval can make you sweat.
I also got ice cream, which took
the edge off a little.

Few tickets left for concert
Tram shelter
repairs complete
• By Jess Gibson
THE WAIT is finally over for
Redcliffs residents wanting to
see the Moncks Bay tram shelter
safe and open to the public.
Repairs to the 86-year-old
structure on Main Rd are now
complete after being closed off
since December 2018 due to
earthquake risk.
Redcliffs Residents’ Association
secretary Pat McIntosh said
she was “delighted” the historic
structure has reopened.
Members had been frustrated
over the length of time it took
city council contractors to finish
repairs.
“I’m pleased to hear that it’s
done and that the obstructions
will be removed to it can be
used again,” Ms McInstosh said.
Work was initially meant to
be finished before the end of
September, however, the city
council delayed pushed out the
completion date until the end of
December, and then to the end
of January.

SELWYN SOUNDS looks set to
sell out.
The March 7 festival will see
acts including Icehouse, 10cc,
Zed and Jed Parsons grace the
stage at Lincoln Domain.
Event director David Parlane
said he expects a capacity crowd
of 10,000 people will be enjoying
the music, food trucks and
stocked bar on the day.
Said Mr Parlane:
“We’re into our last
lot of tickets at the
moment. For sure, this
will be a sell-out before
the event, I’m positive
of that.
“This certainly will
be the summer concert
of 2020 for Canterbury.”
He is looking forward
to seeing a high calibre of
acts on the day.
“To be honest, I’m looking
forward to seeing them all. I have
a real fondness for Icehouse, I’ve
seen them three or four times
live and they just are an outstanding
unit, very professional
and their stage show is pure
quality from everything that
they do.
“I’m also looking forward to

Seeing Ultravox’s

including Vienna live
will be another highlight,
said Mr Parlane.
Mr Parlane said
preparation for the event is
almost finished.
“It’s going to be a fun day.
People coming in and getting
together with their group,
sitting around, listening to
great music, having some

Let’s stalk about celery
• By Ian Knott
I dread to think how
many bunches of celery
get thrown out following
impulse buys and good
intentions of healthy
eating. But celery needn’t
be only for snacking on
raw with dips or chopped
and thrown into stews,
there are many uses for
this marvelous vegetable
that you may not have
associated it with
CELERY CORIANDER
COCKTAIL
Ingredients
30ml Absolut Citron vodka
3 Tbsp fresh squeezed lime juice
2 Tbsp simple sugar syrup
½ stalk of celery
¼ cup chopped coriander
2 Tbsp soda water
ice
Directions
In a mixing glass or pitcher,
combine celery and coriander
and muddle together with vodka,
lime juice and simple syrup.
Pour through a fine mesh
strainer into a glass filled with ice
and top with soda water.
Celery Coriander Cocktail
Garnish with celery greens and
coriander, maybe even a lime
wedge.
SIMPLE CELERY SOUP
Ingredients
2 Tbsp olive oil, or butter
1 onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
6 cups celery, sliced thin. Save
some leaves for garnish
2 cups potatoes, sliced into 1cm
rounds. Use a white fleshed, general
purpose potato.
4 cups veggie or chicken stock
1 cup water
1 bay leaf (optional, remove before
blending)
1 tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
⅛-½ tsp cayenne, to taste
Simple Celery Soup
Directions
Heat the oil in a big pot over
medium high heat, add the onion,
stirring occasionally, letting the
onions get golden, about 5min.
While the onions are cooking,
roughly chop the garlic, celery
and potato. When the onions
are golden add the garlic and
stir 1-2min until fragrant. Add
the celery, potato, stock, water,
bay leaf, salt, pepper,
and cayenne. The liquid
should just cover the
veggies.
Cover, bring to a
rolling boil, turn heat
down and simmer gently
until the potato is tender,
about 10min.
Turn heat off, remove
bay leaf and add the fresh
herbs and just wilt them
(so not to lose the vibrant
colour)
Using a stick blender
blend until very silky
smooth – or if using
a regular blender, let
cool before blending in smaller
batches.
Blend well, a full minute, until
herbs are fully blended, creating a
vibrant coloured soup. For extra
“green” colour, add a handful of
raw spinach if you like, or more
fresh parsley. Place it back in the
same pot over low heat. Stir in
your choice of sour cream, or any
of the other options.

WHAT GROWS outside
is as important in creating
pleasant outdoor living
areas as any decking,
paving and fencing.
In fact, trees, shrubs and
vines can convert the most
pedestrian of back yards to
an entertaining space.
You need a little forward
planning to create a green
and peaceful exterior
space – unlike a kitset park
bench, a vine hung patio
wasn’t built in a day.
But you needn’t spend
a lot on plants – most
climbing plants and many
perennials and shrubs will
grow from cuttings which
can be begged from the
gardens of friends.
Donations of this kind
are a much more affordable
way to establish a
garden than simply buying
up large.
Beautify concrete and
paved areas
You can create the illusion
of several square
metres of garden space
without the associated
weeding and cultivating –
think outside the square
into pots, containers and
hanging baskets.
Provided the plant
doesn’t have a deep tap
root (kowhai for instance)
or a huge spreading root
system, it’ll grow in a
container.
And the container can
be anything, from a simple
do-it-yourself box made
of timber fence palings
to a concrete tub or even
plastic pots.
There are some affordable
and effective temporary
cover-ups and privacy
screens available to fill the
gap until nature takes over
and drapes your fence line,
deck uprights and pergolas
in clematis, wisteria, bougainvillea,
ivy geranium or
climbing rose.
Light your garden
By lighting up gardens,
pathways and barbecue
areas, you can extend the
amount of time you can
spend outdoors, and turn
backyards into evening
entertainment spaces.
Lighting manufacturers
now put a heavy focus
on exterior lighting for
barbecue areas, pathways
and patios.
Uplights, downlights
and backlights can subtly
emphasise all the best
features of the great
outdoors and the fittings
come in all styles for all
pockets.
Accessorise
The right furniture,
lighting, planters and
features can refresh and
reinvigorate even the most
modest outdoor spaces.
Most families start and
finish an interior remodel
before moving to an exterior
plan, often without
considering the relationship
between the two – a
big mistake.
Far better to think of
your deck or patio as an
extension of your home
and not as something
separate that only requires
attention in the spring and
summer months.
Accessorising requires

you think a little outside
the square by using
familiar objects in new
ways – a mirror for
example can make a stylish
addition to your patio or
deck by placing one in a
dark corner, creating space
and directing light to an
uninviting spot.
An old wheelbarrow
can be transformed into a
rustic planter.
An outdoor that flows
Just like indoors, you can
define outdoor relaxing
space with your “flooring’’.
The sitting and relaxing
area can be separated from
the garden by paving, or a
line of garden.
If you’re using a lot of
paving or lawn and you
want to continue the flow
while still defining the
space, a step up or down
will create the illusion for
you.
Blend indoor and
outdoor areas with the
same flooring materials if
possible, or similar tones.
If you step from carpeted
lounge to paved outdoor
space, particularly through
glass doors, you can
accentuate the flow of the
eye by extending exterior
paving just inside the door
of your home and joining
to carpet.
SENIOR LIVING
A natural remedy
for good health
Black Seed oil is often referred to as
“The Remedy for all things.” The Prophet
Muhammad called it “a remedy for every
illness except death.” Black seed oil is
extracted from black cumin seeds (Nigella
sativa) and has been used therapeutically
for over 3,300 years, since its first reported
discovery in King Tutankhamun’s tomb.
For thousands of years it has been used by
practitioners of Ayurvedic and Chinese
traditional medicine for an endless
list of conditions, from migraines to
diabetes and cancer. Since 1959 scientists
have carried out over 600 peer review
studies proving many of its remarkable
health benefits. It has been shown to
be medicinally very effective against
various illnesses including: cardiovascular
disorders, diabetes, inflammatory
conditions, infertility, neurological and
mental illness as well as various infectious
diseases due to bacterial, fungal, parasitic,
and viral infections. According to the
“National Institute of Health” superbugs
are becoming a significant public health
risk as they are virtually impossible to
treat. In the USA an increasing number
of hospital patients are developing
infections from superbugs with more
than 90,000 of these patients dying every
year. Researchers at Jawaharlal Nehru
Medical College wanted to confirm the
benefits of black seed oil against these

superbugs compared with common
antibiotics. According to the study, “out
of 144 strains of superbugs tested, most
of which were resistant to a number of
antibiotics, 97 were inhibited by the black
seed oil. Microbes or micro-organisms
have been linked to most disease and
there are few things known to be as
effective against them as the black seed
oil. Croatian scientists studying mice with
cancers found that the phytochemicals in
black seed oil resulted in a 52% decrease
in tumor cells. Diabetes drugs can have
numerous side effects but research by the
“Indian Council of Medicine” found that
black seed oil helps regenerate pancreatic
cells and decreases elevated serum glucose
in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Corolla wagon fills void in shrinking market
I’M A BIG fan of station wagons,
especially those that are small in
stature.
However, it’s part of the new
car market in New Zealand that
has shrunk to almost nothing
thanks to the demand for sport
utility vehicles. Sure, Ford has a
Focus wagon, Hyundai has an i30
wagon, and there’s a smattering
of continental models – Skoda’s
Octavia Scout and BMW’s Active
Tourer. As an aside, Holden has
an Astra wagon here, but it is due
to be discontinued.
However, you can count on
Toyota to keep the market ticking
over with steady sales, its Corolla
wagon has served the company
well and it captures my attention,
it’s a car I could certainly live
with, I don’t need a sport utility
vehicle, but I do like a car that
offers load space greater than a
standard boot.
The entire Corolla range has
just had a bit of a refresh and a
new generation wagon has been
added, it’s the first in the latest
Corolla series and has been built
with all the traditional Corolla
values, it is state-of-the-art underneath
and it looks fabulous.
The only real difference between
the hatch/sedan variants is that
the wagon doesn’t get the 2-litre
engine, nor is it available as a
hybrid. The wagon gets a 1.8-litre
engine, but that matters little, and
if you take into account that the
engine is larger than the previous
model (1.5-litre), the ingredients
are in place for capable, practical
motoring.
The evaluation car was carrying
additional Toyota Racing
Development parts, a body kit,
black wheels, and with TRD
appointments it looked great
and certainly generated a lot of
interest during the week it was in
my care.
Otherwise, the wagon is available
in only one specification at
$29,990. Unlike previous generation
models, there is no manual
gearbox option, it arrives with
continuously variable automatic
transmission only. I believe that is
value-packed buying considering
you’ve got that healthy cargo load
section – 392-litres up to 800-litres
with the rear seats folded flat.
For that money it also gets
a suite of Toyota Sense safety
technologies, easily earning it a
five-star Australasian New Car
Assessment Program safety rating.
Items fitted for comfort and
convenience are generous given
its budget price.
Powering the Corolla wagon is
a four-cylinder engine of 1798cc.
Toyota rates it with 104kW and
171Nm, available collectively at
6100rpm and 3900rpm.
TOYOTA COROLLA WAGON: Versatile load carrying section.
If these figures look familiar,
they are much the same as those
from Corollas of previous eras.
They are healthy outputs and
more than capable of fulfilling the
wagon’s role, especially if you take
into account that at around 1300kg
the Corolla in this form isn’t
overweight, even with its 425kg
payload rating.
On the subject of figures, the
Corolla wagon returns hugely
respectable fuel usage statistics,
Toyota lists a combined cycle
rating of 6.8-litres per 100km.
Toyota also claims a 10sec standstill
to 100km/h acceleration time.
Drive is fluid through the
transmission, that’s the beauty of
CVT, it harnesses engine strength
without feel and gets about hauling
in acceleration seamlessly. There is
a sequential shift system which will
lock the gearing into any of seven
pre-set steps, and that has advantages
when travelling through
hilly sections or when slowing for
corners.
• Price – Toyota Corolla
wagon, $29,990
• Dimensions – Length,
4495mm; width, 1745mm;
height, 1460mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
front-wheeldrive,
1798cc, 104kW,
171Nm, continuously
variable automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 10sec
• Fuel usage – 6.8/100km
At highway speed the wagon
moves through the air quietly and
those on board have the benefit
of high comfort levels. The seats
have solid all round support with
cushions that are absorbent, yet
containing.
When presented with a quick
corner or two, its handling manners
are predictable with the essential
information projected back
through to the steering wheel.
Previous versions of the Corolla
wagon were sprung soft for the
Japanese domestic market. I’m
pleased to report Toyota New
Zealand has addressed the suspension
settings over the years and
the dampers are now set to more
of a medium setting through a
sophisticated fully independent
front-strut/rear wishbone suspension
system.
This is important for those who
will fill the cargo section, the
rear of the wagon feels taut and
securely fastened to the road. I’m
a big believer in independent suspension,
and full marks to Toyota
for building the wagon around
such a complex set-up.
Without the TRD wheels the
Corolla wagon rides on 15in
rubber. However, grip on the
TRD-spec model is enhanced
greatly with sport specification
17in Michelin tyres (225/50), they
have a strong tenure with the road
surface.
The wagon has certainly developed
the handling characteristics
of its hatchback and sedan stablemates,
it’s a car you can feel very
much at one with and can rest
assured it’s not going to present
any surprises, it is competent and
involving to be in, the driver is
sent all the right messages.
I applaud Toyota, both in Japan
and here. I’m pleased the wagon
is still available, it’s a no-nonsense
practical vehicle. It won’t set any
records nor thrill enormously
with its power, but for $30k and
low ongoing running costs, it is
value and you can guarantee that
it will do its job for decades to
come.

TOUCH CANTERBURY
Touch is once again out in force across parks, beaches
and backyards. The flexibility of this game sees it as one
of the most popular summer sports in NZ. This season
sees more than 17,000 participants actively involved in our
competitions, which span across Canterbury and the West
coast. Currently we have over 30 affiliated modules that
cover both junior and senior competitions and cater to all
ages and experience.
Touch really is a sport that caters to people of all diverse
backgrounds and provides opportunities for all. This is one of
the keys to why we are able to develop relationships with other
local sporting communities and most importantly connect and
build strong links within the community.
Whilst a large majority of participants are involved in touch
for the pure social and fitness aspect of it, we do have a
developed pathway for those that have higher aspirations to
representative honours.
Touch Canterbury has a long and proud record on the
national stage. In 2020 we will have 5 teams represent
Canterbury and travel to Auckland for the Bunnings Junior
National Touch Championships, from 14-16 February. These
teams will compete in the boys, girls and mixed divisions at
both U16 and U18 level, against the best players and teams
from all over New Zealand.
At the Bunnings National Touch Championships in Rotorua,
from 6-8 March we will have 4 Canterbury teams represent
in the Open Men/Women grades, and 6 teams representing
masters grades from Over 30 – 55 years.
Players, coaches and management across all teams have
been working extremely hard, and we look forward to seeing
all the preparation be put into action as they challenge for a
national title.
Touch Canterbury also supports the development and growth of
referees within our sport and we are very proud to once again
have one of the largest provincial contingent of referees attend
these national events.
Touch Canterbury and our representative players are
extremely grateful for the support of local
businesses and funders to aid our athletes in
recognising and achieving their goals. Touch is
a user-pay system which can add a lot of extra
pressure, and without external support many would
simply not be able to attend.
Keep up to date with all the activity and results here

Exciting challenge ahead for team at Nationals
The U18 Girls are looking forward to attending the Junior Touch
Nationals, held at Bruce Pulman Park in Auckland from the 14th –
16th February 2020. This tournament is a great opportunity for the
girls to play the best of the best from every province. It will be a great
challenge, one that the team is very excited about.
Under the guidance of coach Adrian Godinet, the team have been
working hard on policies and plays. The girls are a talented group who
work well together, have a lot of heart and show great determination,
an all-round fantastic team on and off the field. We have a lot of
experience within the team, a strong leadership group finished off being
captained by Gemma Rowe and vice-captain Courtney Godinet.
We played in the Southern IPS tournament in Christchurch in
December playing against Otago U18 Girls and some mixed teams. It
gave us a great opportunity to put plays into place and work on policies.
We would like to say a massive thanks to our families, supporters and
team sponsors for all their support this far. It has been really awesome
and very much appreciated by the team management and players.
THANK YOU!

Even more proud are we that our team

entire playing group as we feel supported by
great leadership.
We look forward to doing our best this

TEAM CONFIDENT FOR NATIONAL TOURNAMENT
This year’s Canterbury U16 Boys have built a
fantastic team culture in their build-up to the 2020
Junior NZ Touch Nationals in Auckland.
In preparation for the NZ Touch Nationals, the
team has had two warm-up tournaments the 1st
being in early December 2019 in Oamaru for a quad
tournament which was the teams first formal hit out
and after a tough day, the team walked away with
the gold.
In late December the team then lined up for the
Southern IPS for their second tournament and after
a massive day 2 where the team played five games
and some awesome touch we walked away with a
Silver Medal.

weeK four: upping the pace
This week we will step it up a bit more. The beginners group will progress to the stage that most of the walking is replaced by
slow jogging and the intermediate group are starting to incorporate some efforts in zone 2. Remember that zone 1 is perceived
as an easy effort which you can maintain for very long periods of time. In zone 2 you will get slightly puffed but you can still have a
conversation. You go from jogging in zone 1 to a proper running movement in zone 2 with the main difference being that zone
1 has a slower rhythm, staying low to the ground where as zone 2 brings extra spring in your step combined with an increase in
leg turnover (stride rate). The intermediate group introduces zone 2 pace as 2 minute repetitions alternated by 2 minute easy
jogging. Zone 2 to 3 will be the recommended pace for the City to Surf event for the intermediate group while the beginners
will mainly stay in zone 1 and 2.
The difference between walking and jogging is not only decided by the rhythm of the movement but also how and where you
land your feet. When jogging most efficiently you land on your mid-foot under the centre of gravity of the body, which, in the
upright position, is located in the pelvis just behind the midline of the body. With a slight forward lean of the body you can use
gravity to pull you forward while your legs keep you upright and push you in a forward direction. Walking is done in a more
upright position and most of us land on our heel first and roll over the outside of our foot before pushing off with our forefoot. It
helps to keep your core (lower abdomen, back, pelvis and hips) well supported by pushing your pelvis slightly forward. This will
stop you from “sitting” and over striding.

To achieve this goal
you need to develop
some awareness around
the basic requirements
of exercising for health
and fitness. First and
foremost this has to do
with 3 key principles:
1. How often do you train? To
improve your level of health and
fitness you will need to aim for 4
sessions per week. 2 or 3 sessions per
week will only maintain what you have and 1
session per week is definitely not sufficient.
2. How long are your sessions? The
duration of your sessions will generally
build towards between 30 and 50 minutes
with one longer session of 60-80 minutes.
3. What is the right intensity to train at?
The good thing about the programme
is that all your runs will be done at
submaximal pace, also called conversation
pace. That means a pace where you can still
talk. If you can’t talk you are going too fast
and you are likely to come to a grinding halt
sooner or later.
This programme and accompanying information are written
as a guide only. If you are concerned about your health at
any stage please undergo a health check with your GP.
TIP of The weeK
There is no need to bring fluids with you
during the sessions as you are not exercising
long and hard enough to cause serious
dehydration. Even on warm (north-west)
days it is sufficient to have a glass of water
or juice just before you go out. You can
re-hydrate on your return home, again with
water and/or a glass of fruit juice. Taking
fluids during exercise is generally not
required until you start to exceed 90 minutes
on a normal day and 60 minutes on a hot
day (temperatures above 25 degrees).

One-eyed Cantab
Gordon Findlater
gordon.findlater@starmedia.kiwi
• By Gordon Findlater
Mick Downer
THE CANTERBURY Rams
have pulled off a coup by
securing the services of one of
the country’s most promising
basketballers.
Last year Jack Salt became the
only Kiwi to ever win a United
States college NCAA Championship
– the biggest prize in
college basketball. The 2.08m
centre from Auckland will now
do the basketball equivalent of
a Caleb Ralph, Ron Cribb and
Jack Goodhue by moving to
Christchurch to take his game to
a new level.
“He’s a big
unit. They don’t
grow on trees,
there’s only
a handful of
big dominant
New Zealanders
floating
around, so
it’s absolutely
a coup to have Jack want to
continue his career with us,” said
Canterbury Rams coach Mick
Downer.
When the Rams begin their
NBL campaign in April it will
be the 23-year-old’s first in
more than eight months. After
captaining Virginia to their first
ever championship in April Salt
went onto play two games for
the Phoenix Suns in the NBA
Summer League in July. He was
then due to play professionally
for Polish club Trefl Sopot. However,
Salt was unable to take the
court after coming down with
glandular fever.
Salt returned to Auckland and
has been under doctor’s orders
to eat healthy, drink water and
sleep. He’s followed the guidelines
for the past five months
and for the past five weeks has
been back to feeling normal.
“For me it wasn’t really the
energy, it was the dizziness. I
was sleepy for about two weeks,
but then I got over that. It was
just a constant feeling of being
BIG MAN: Jack Salt will look to ignite his career with the
Canterbury Rams after a college career which saw him win
the NCAA Championship with Virginia. ​
dizzy. It was hard to work out
because I literally felt like I was
drunk when I was working out,”
said Salt.
“I’ve been working out for
over a month now and had no
setbacks, so I’m feeling good.”
‘It was hard to work out
because I literally felt like
I was drunk when I was
working out’
– Jack Salt
Salt won’t be the first Virginia
product to play for the Rams.
Last year one of the franchise’s
import spots was filled by Isaiah
Wilkins – Salt’s former roommate.
Without knowing it at
the time Salt helped the Rams
recruit Wilkins by telling him
he had visited Christchurch and
liked the city. This time it was a
role reversal which has helped
Salt make the decision to move
south.
“Isaiah is one of my best
friends. It helped having him
tell me what Mick was like as a
coach in terms of player development.
He said the workouts he
did were really good and I know
Isaiah really well, I worked out
with him for four years and if
he’s saying it’s good I trust his
judgement a lot,” said Salt.
“I haven’t been able to compete
for eight months and I’m a competitor,
so to be able to come into
a team with a good coach and a
good culture is exciting.”
As proven last year that competitive
instinct creates a hunger
for titles, something he’s looking
to continue with the Rams.
“My goal is to win a championship
for the Rams. I’m coming
to better myself for sure, but I
want to win.
Salt will travel to the United
States this month to ramp up
his training, before arriving in
Christchurch on March 19. The
Rams start their season against
Taranaki at Cowles Stadium on
April 11.

Hay cancellation
the last straw
FORGET THE current Black
Caps and Gary Stead saga, the
team in absolute disarray at the
moment are the All Whites.
On Monday evening, current
All Whites coach and former
player Danny Hay was due to
speak to football
supporters at English
Park.
However, the event
was cancelled due a
lack of interest. To
make matters more
embarrassing, the
event was free.
It’s not like people
don’t know where
English Park is.
Over the summer
hundreds have regularly
gathered there
to match the Canterbury
United Dragons.
The Dragons might
have just two wins
from 12 matches and
occupy last position
in the national league,
but it appears enough
to warrant more interest than an
evening with the national team
coach.
Football is the globe’s biggest
game and it’s not like it’s
irrelevant in New Zealand. It’s
still the fourth most participated
sport at secondary school behind
netball, basketball and rugby.
Most young people in New
Zealand interested in football
UNREAL: Danny
Hay can’t fill a
room at English
Park which is
about the right
size for a 21st.
would easily real off the names of
the biggest Premier League club’s
managers, but would they know
who Danny Hay is?
Last year I wrote about the
All Whites having not played a
match in more than 12 months
and how the effects
of not regularly being
able to watch our
national side are leading
to a disconnect
between the team and
supporters. It appears
Monday’s cancellation
due to a lack of interest
is a prime example
of people not feeling a
connection to the All
Whites.
The All Whites
broke their more
than 12-month spell
without playing in
November when they
lost away to the Republic
of Ireland and
Lithuania. They play
another two games
in the Middle East
next month against Oman and
Bahrain.
However, fans still haven’t had
a chance to watch the All Whites
on home soil since the first leg of
their World Cup qualifier against
Peru in November 2017.
Gary Stead might not be seen
in the greatest light by much of
the public at the moment, but at
least he’d fill a room.

A PROMISING Canterbury
opening batsman is leading New
Zealand’s charge into tonight’s
semi-final at the under-19
Cricket World Cup in South
Africa.
Rhys Mariu, 18, is New Zealand’s
leading run scorer at the
World Cup. He has amassed
205 runs in four matches at an
average of 51.25 and strike rate
of 87.60.
The former St Andrew’s College
player will now look to
continue his run of form when
New Zealand play Bangladesh in
the tournament semi-final this
evening.
“It’s always nice to contribute
to a winning team and then
obviously to get this far. We’re
extremely happy with making
the top four, but we think we can
further and I think that belief
will help us win games going
forward,” said Mariu.
“We’ve had must-win games
so far, so we’ll just try to treat it
like that and not think too much
about it being a semi-final.”
One of those must-win games
came against Sri Lanka in pool
play. Chasing 243 for victory
Mariu got New Zealand off to a
perfect start with a knock of 86
from 106 deliveries.
“I wouldn’t want to bat
anywhere else but opening. I
wouldn’t want to walk out after
waiting for someone to get out. I
prefer to start out there and have
the onus to score the runs rather
than waiting for someone else to
do it,” he said.
Mariu – who plays club
cricket for Oxford-Rangiora –
has had no shortage of success
Keas look to ‘brotherhood’ to start new era
• By Jacob Page
IUMA MULITALO knows
he and fellow Linwood Keas
premier co-coach Agaese Fiso’s
biggest challenge will be to
maintain the standards they had
on the field.
It seems fitting that two men
will be needed to replace fourtime
winning Canterbury coach
Andrew Auimatagi, who stepped
away from the role after the 2019
final.
Auimatagi was in charge for
eight years but chose to continue
his Canterbury Bulls commitments
while freeing up time to
try to land more national coaching
appointments.
Mulitalo said as far as he knew
with such a daunting legacy to
continue, he and Fiso were the
only two who applied for the
role.
“We’ve obviously been very
successful for a long time now,”
Mulitalo said.
“This club is a family and we
know those standards must be
leading into the World Cup. In
December he was named joint
tournament MVP while captaining
St Andrew’s College to their
first ever Gillette Cup national
secondary school title.
New Zealand’s journey to
the semi-final saw them finish
second in their pool after a
rained-off match with Japan,
three-wicket win over Sri Lanka
and 44-run loss to India. They
then booked their spot in the
semi-finals with a quarter-final
maintained.”
Both co-coaches were part of
four Keas premier title teams
as players in 2008 and 2016,
2017 and 2018 before coaching
the Linwood Reserve team to a
championship in their first attempt
last season.
Mulitalo played more than 150
premier games at prop while Fiso
is a former captain and backrower
who played for more than
a decade.
“It’s up to us to maintain the
culture,” Mulitalo said.
“It’s a brotherhood – we were
all on one side of it (as players)
and now we are on the other side
trying to continue the great work
Andrew has done.”
Mulitalo said watching from
the sideline initially did come
easily after years of playing.
“I definitely struggled not being
out there every week.
“We know our players pretty
well, we’ve played with many
of them so we just want to keep
things going.
“You have to put your coaches
win over the West Indies last
week.
The team are more than familiar
with tonight’s opponents
– Bangladesh. The two sides split
results during a five-match series
at Lincoln University in October.
The last time the two met was
during a World Cup warm-up
in South Africa last month
which New Zealand won by four
wickets.
“We’ve played them six times
already so we know what to
hat on, we can’t be mates (with
players).
“We put our hands up for the
role because we want to continue
on the legacy.
Mulitalo said it would be a
very settled squad this year based
on preseason training.
“Most of the guys have returned
and there is plenty of fire
in the belly for them to continue
to achieve big things this year.
They won’t be the only coaching
changes this year, with Jason
Martin taking over the top job at
the Halswell Hornets from Rob
Faalio.
The Northern Bulldogs will
also have a new coach with
Brent Ringdahl taking the helm,
replacing Sam Brown.
Ex Papanui Tigers player John
Tafua will take over the club’s
premier team and will be assisted
by Poasa Alaifea.
The Celebration Lions will
have a new coach after Steve
Fenika resigned but who that
will be remains a mystery.

temperatures

expect,” said Mariu.
“Their batsmen are quite
handy. We’ve seen what they can
do to our bowlers, but if we can
combat that then we should be in
with a chance.”
If New Zealand are to advance
to the final one of the biggest
challenges won’t just be their
opposition. Players have battled
with the heat in South Africa
throughout the tournament,
with temperatures soaring in
excess of 30 deg C most days.
The forecast high today in
Potchefstroom – where New
Zealand will play Bangladesh –
is 31 deg C.
The heat got the better of
Mariu in his high-scoring knock
against Sri Lanka. Late in his
37-over stay at the crease Mariu
had to be treated for cramp.
The souring temperatures at the
tournament have seen a number
of players suffer the same fate.
The most notable case came
in New Zealand’s thrilling twowicket
quarter-final win over
the West Indies which saw two
New Zealand players carry West
Indian batsman Kirk McKenzie
after being dismissed for 99
while suffering severe cramp.
If New Zealand win tonight
they will meet India in the
World Cup final on Sunday.
New Zealand’s best finish
at an Under-19 Cricket World
Cup was runner-up in 1998
when the tournament was last
held in South Africa. The New
Zealand team containing Marshall
twins Hamish and James,
Lou Vincent, James Franklin
and Kyle Mills lost to England in
the final.

Licensed Agent REAA 2008
CHECKLIST FOR
SELLING YOUR HOME
MAKE SMALL FIXES
Inspect your home with a buyer’s eyes, and correct
the flaws that are most egregious (if affordable) or can
be relatively easily fixed—from repairing cracks in the
walkways to repainting dingy walls or oiling creaky
hinges.
SET A PRICE
A real estate agent will give you a market analysis free
of charge or commitment.
Ask a few to get a broader picture of the market, then
ask to see listings for properties similar to yours that
have sold in the past six months.
Check out comparable listings yourself in the real
estate section of your newspaper or on websites.
Then decide whether you want a quick, easy sale or
the highest possible price.
CLEAN & DECLUTTER
Weed out excess furniture, knicknacks, and “stuff”—
toss it, donate it, give it away, sell it at a yard sale,
or put it into storage—so the house seems more
spacious and buyers can imagine themselves in it.
STAY VIGILIANT ABOUT MAINTENANCE
From the moment you start showing your house, keep
the lawn mowed, shrubs trimmed, gardens weeded,
rooms spotless and clutter-free.
READY YOUR HOME FOR OPEN DAYS
Hide pocketable valuables, display fresh flowers or
bowls of fruit, bake a batch of cookies for the homey
smell, open the drapes, keep pets out of sight.
DECIDE WHETHER TO DO YOUR OWN BUILDING
INSPECTION
It may save you time, especially with older homes,
to identify—and potentially solve—problems your
buyer’s inspection will discover later.

Getting what you paid
for on settlement day
In the movies, the day someone gets the keys
to their newly bought home is portrayed as
a golden, stress-free time. The reality can be
rather different, especially if you find your
dream home has turned into something
akin to Nightmare On Elm Street since you
agreed to buy it.
“The trick to a stress-free settlement is to
do as much as you can in advance, starting
with when you’re signing the sale and
purchase agreement,” advises Kevin Lampen-
Smith, chief executive of the Real Estate
Agents Authority (REAA).
“The sale and purchase agreement is the
legally-binding contract agreed between you
and the seller that details the property, the
conditions of sale and the price. Make sure
that there is an agreed list of chattels, with
notes as to their condition, in this agreement.
If the property is full of rubbish, and you
want it gone before you take possession,
make that a condition of the sale. If there are
holes in the fence that the seller has promised
to fix, get that in writing on the agreement:
don’t rely on verbal assurances that
something will be done prior to settlement.
It’s far better to get all these niggly details
sorted out before you sign the agreement
than face protracted battles down the track.”
As a buyer, you are generally entitled to
one opportunity to inspect the property
before settlement day. If the property has
sitting tenants, ask your lawyer to ensure
there is a ‘final inspection’ clause inserted in
the sale and purchase agreement before you
sign it. This inspection is to make sure that
it is in the same or better order it was when
you viewed it and agreed to the sale. It is not
designed to give you the chance to uncover
new defects, or to give a rental agent the
chance to appraise the place’s value.
“A seller does not have to accommodate
any extra requests to visit the property prior
to settlement,” Lampen-Smith says.
“Remember that the seller may have a lot
on their plate; making the property available
so your interior decorator can measure up
for new curtains is unlikely to be a high
priority.”
Your real estate agent will usually
arrange the inspection with the seller, and
accompany you to the property. Most experts
recommend that this inspection takes place
around 24 hours before settlement day so
there are no hold-ups to the transfer of funds
and ownership.
NEW LISTINGS
When you come to inspect the property,
everything should be as it was when you
decided to purchase it (as reflected by the
sale and purchase agreement). Lampen-
Smith says you can expect chattels to be in
a reasonable working order unless it has
been agreed and documented otherwise.
You cannot complain to the seller that the
oven isn’t clean enough, but you can raise a
complaint if it is missing, or it is a different
model to the one cited in the agreement.
Don’t forget to check that garage door
openers and pool covers are in situ, or that
locks work properly.
If there is a problem, the REAA says you
should speak to the real estate agent and
your lawyer in the first instance. They can
help you negotiate with the seller to remedy
any issues, such as a newly broken window
or missing keys. Your lawyer should work
with the seller’s lawyer to reach a satisfactory
solution, such as getting the seller to make
any necessary repairs, or to deduct any costs
from the eventual settlement.
Making the final inspection 24 hours
before settlement is due gives you and the
seller time to reach an agreement over
anything outstanding. This is important,
because if you do not complete settlement on
the due date and the seller can demonstrate
that they were able and willing to complete
their side of the settlement, then you will
be liable for interest on any portion of the
purchase price that is unpaid. The seller does
not need to give you access to the property
while any amount remains outstanding.
“Like any property transaction, success
often depends on doing things right at the
start,” Lampen-Smith says.
“Get the details right at the beginning
and you’ve got a greater chance of a happy
ending.”
