Darryl’s fight to the end 

Plastering 

job takes 

its toll 

on lungs 

• By Barry Clarke 

WELL-KNOWN Canterbury 

sports figure Darryl Hawker had 

hoped to get one more week to 

prove his body wrong. 

But yesterday morning, doctors 

at Christchurch Hospital told him 

and partner Rose Williams, his 

lungs had effectively given up. 

There was no more hope. 

He was put on a morphine 

pump to ease the pain he had been 

enduring. 

“It will let him pass away without 

pain,” Rose told The Star yesterday 

afternoon. 

“It’s very, very sad.” 

Hawker, 64, suffered from hypersensitivity 

pneumonitis, an inflammation 

of the air spaces within the 

lung caused by hypersensitivity to 

inhaled organic dusts. 

He says it was caused by years 

working as a plasterer. 

On Tuesday night, Hawker had 

convinced his doctors not to start 

the morphine pump which would 

signal the end.

IN SPITE of a cold and dreary 

week, temperatures are expected 

to pick up again over the

Metservice meteorologist Kyle

been hitting most of the country 

is expected to move away from 

Christchurch tomorrow.

BY DAY Joanna Prendergast 

works as a psychiatrist, helping 

people struggling with mental 

health. 

At night she transforms into 

her onstage persona, Jo Ghastly, 

a comedian developed from how 

she imagines her children view 

her, as embarrassing, clueless 

and thinking she is cool. 

Prendergast, 51, only took 

up comedy three years ago and 

during that time has become one 

of Christchurch’s most accomplished 

performers. 

“I have been a performer since 

I was a child but decided to go to 

medical school rather than drama 

school. A comedy producer 

suggested I try stand-up comedy 

when I was acting in a TV show 

pilot a few years ago,” she said. 

“I like a challenge so I gave it 

a go and haven’t stopped since. 

It’s an amazing feeling to have 

a room of people having a great 

time and laughing at your jokes.” 

During lockdown she finished 

writing her debut solo show 

The Cool Mum, which she will 

perform tomorrow night at Little 

Andromeda Theatre in the 

central city. 

Women’s Refuge will receive 

25 per cent of the ticket sales for 

the show. 

“As a psychiatrist, I work with 

“We are forecasting just a 

bit of cloud in the morning 

on Friday and then it actually 

becomes fine. 

“The southerly dries out in 

the morning and the northerlies 

start developing. With the 

northerlies, we do see the 

temperatures start to increase.” 

The maximum temperature on 

Friday is expected to be 9 deg C

abusive situations and have been 

supported by Women’s Refuge. 

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz 

Temperatures set to rise in weekend 

while Saturday is forecasting a 

high of 13 deg C. 

Mr Lee said Sunday morning 

will be warmer than most 

recently with a forecast 7 deg C. 

The weather will remain 

fine throughout the day with a 

maximum of 14 deg C. 

Christchurch had 101.6mm of 

rainfall throughout the month 

of June. 

Bringing out the laughs

DIVERSE: Joanna Prendergast is raising money for 

Women’s Refuge after launching her comedy career at 48. 

“Supporting women to get 

away from abuse and to protect 

their children from abuse is 

Mr Lee said this is above 

the historical average for the 

month which sits at about 

50mm. 

“Last year we saw 82mm of 

rain in June, which is above the 

average, but I don’t think it’s 

anything substantial.” 

Christchurch had 88.5 hours 

of sunshine in the month of 

June. 

one of the most important ways 

we can reduce developmental 

trauma and long-term mental 

health challenges.” 

The show is a parody of a 

celebrity parenting seminar 

focusing on her own parenting 

experiences. 

“My teenagers both perform 

in some video clip skits in the 

show, along with some of their 

friends. My kids and other young 

people seem to particularly enjoy 

my comedy as it’s very relatable 

to them. If my 16-year-old son 

smirks at a joke, I know I’ve hit 

solid gold. 

“My comedy mainly focuses 

on parenting challenges and 

observations of life. Most of the 

content is light-hearted jokes but 

there are some truthful, takehome 

messages about parenting 

and life in the show.” 

There will also be a donation 

bucket after the show. 

Another show will be held on 

September 11. 

Prendergast was third in the 

South Island Raw Comedy Quest 

in 2018, has twice been comedy 

Roast Battle Champion and 

won three awards at the 2019

‘No, no I’m fighting. Give me a chance’ 

• From page 1 

“He asked for another week. 

He’s trying to fight. That’s Darryl. 

But his lungs are absolutely 

buggered,” Rose told The Star on 

Tuesday night. 

“We’re hoping something 

might pop up. Miracles do happen,” 

she said. 

On Monday, Hawker was 

told by doctors they had done 

everything they could for him 

and the outlook was grim in the 

extreme. 

Said Rose: “Basically he is suffocating 

alive. His lungs are like 

a drying sponge.” 

But Hawker refused to accept 

what the doctors had to say. 

“No, no I’m fighting. Give me 

a chance. Don’t give up on me. 

I’m fighting,” he told them. 

But yesterday morning 

brought the inevitable. There 

would be no miracle. Hawker’s 

condition had deteriorated, the 

scarred lungs had had enough. 

Hawker was a top rugby 

league player in his day, a champion 

amateur wrestler and lawn 

bowler and Canterbury bowls 

selector. 

He was part of the grand 

final-winning Halswell league 

sides during the 1980s and later 

became a top referee. He was an 

uncompromising defender and 

great team man during a great 

era of club league in Canterbury. 

He was in a four which was 

third equal twice at a New Zealand 

bowls championships, he 

got to the last eight once in the 

pairs and claimed two national 

bowls titles as a coach. He was 

also a Canterbury selector. 

But was most satisfying for 

Hawker was giving back to 

sport. 

“Looking after the school kids 

and teaching them,” he told The 

Star. 

Said Rose: “The game was 

very good to him and he always 

wanted to put back into the 

game.” 

He was a rugby league match 

manager, which meant getting 

up early to ready the fields for 

matches. 

The first hint something was 

wrong with his lungs came three 

years ago when returned from a 

trip to Hong Kong. Hawker put 

it down to something he had 

picked up on the plane. 

“Darryl being Darryl” he 

didn’t go to the doctor. 

HEY DAY: 

The Halswell 

premier team 

which won 

the 1985 Pat 

Smith Trophy 

grand final. 

Darryl Hawker 

is circled. 

Right - 

Hawker in 

2008. 

“He couldn’t get rid of the 

cough. You could see he was getting 

breathless playing bowls,” 

said Rose. 

He got progressively worse and 

it became apparent he would 

need a lung transplant. He was 

put on steroids and blood thinners. 

The lung transplant would 

never come. 

He and Rose were also battling 

the Accident Compensation 

Corporation. 

His specialist told him in 

mid-March he needed to stop 

working as his oxygen levels 

were too low. 

But ACC refused to accept his 

claim, in spite of medical advice 

and Hawker’s employer saying 

he could not work. 

In late March, ACC made a 

final decision his claim would 

not be accepted. 

This week as Hawker lay in 

his hospital bed another letter 

arrived at his home from ACC, 

reinforcing its earlier decision. 

Said Rose: “Darryl feels like 

he has been kicked in the guts, 

they’ve (ACC) put him in the too 

hard basket. He said: ‘They don’t 

seem to care if I die’. 

“He’s paid his taxes, paid his 

levies, never been on a benefit.”

Heartfelt speech 

Darryl Hawker made an appearance at his Halswell 

Bowls Club prizegiving on June 20. Friend and fellow 

bowler Ron Matheson read out this speech in his behalf 

The reason we won three titles this season is not 

because we were not the best team. You can have the 

four best bowlers in the the club playing with each 

other and most times you will win. 

But if you are not compatible on and off the green 

then you will struggle. 

You need to work together, and this showed for us this 

season. 

At times we have all struggled, but we talked to each 

other and offered encouragement to play the shoot. 

We have worked the same with the Canterbury men’s 

team and that is why we have won two intercentre titles 

and a runner-up in the last four years. 

There are a lot of new exciting bowlers that have 

joined the club this season, think about them when you 

are picking your team for the new season. 

Winning club champs is great, but if you can help a 

new bowler to achieve then you are a winner to. 

For me personally I get a lot of reward by helping 

others achieve their goals, this can be the greatest 

reward.

PART OF the new $16m 

Redcliffs School has been built in 

breach of a condition set out in 

the District Plan. 

The Beachville Rd campus reopened 

last Monday after a nineyear-long 

journey to rebuild the 

school, which was demolished 

at its former Main Rd site following 

the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake. 

But behind the scenes, there 

have been issues over a breach of 

boundary conditions, a report 

has revealed. 

Under the District Plan, a 

rule states no part of a building 

should project beyond a building 

envelope contained by a recession 

plane. 

It is to prevent effects on 

adjoining properties, and 

in this case, the building’s 

height has proven impacts 

on daylight and sunlight 

into the section at 19 Main 

Rd. 

Friends of Redcliffs Park 

spokesman Chris Doudney, 

who was strongly 

opposed to the new school being 

built at the Beachville Rd site, 

has read the report identifying 

the breach. 

He said the breach “really 

confirms what an unsuitable 

site” Redcliffs Park was for a new 

school. 

Mr Doudney petitioned for the 

school to be built at the former 

site in 2018 but was unsuccessful. 

Minister of Education Chris 

Hipkins has applied to “regularise” 

the breach, which will be 

heard by the Resource 

Management Act Hearings 

Panel tomorrow. 

The owner of 19 Main 

Rd, an empty section 

neighbouring the school, 

complained to the city 

council about the height 

of the building last year. 

A city council spokesperson 

said it was then identified 

the recession plane angle was 

incorrectly drawn on plans by 

Tennent Brown Architects following 

a review of the consent 

documentation in October. 

“There have been ongoing discussions 

between the architect

and the neighbours which didn’t 

resolve the matter. Subsequently, 

an application was made to alter 

the designation.” 

“If the application is declined, 

there is a right of appeal to 

the Environment Court. 

Alternatively, the southern 

part of the building could be 

modified.” 

Ministry of Education’s head 

of education infrastructure service 

Kim Shannon said when the 

breach was discovered, the main 

superstructure of the building 

had already been built. 

She said the ministry received 

expert advice the breach was 

likely to have only a minor effect 

on the vacant section. 

A Tennent Brown Architects 

spokesperson said it is “not in a 

position to comment with the 

hearing pending.”

Borrowing 

boost for 

council 

THE CITY council has received a 

significant boost as it battles with 

the financial fall out from Covid-19. 

The Local Government Funding 

Agency which finances council’s 

across the country has increased 

the amount which local authorities 

can borrow. 

This will allow the city council 

to increase its debt in order to 

make up for lost revenue incurred 

from the Covid-19 crisis. 

The agreement means councils, 

like the Christchurch City Council, 

with a long-term credit rating 

of “A” or higher can increase their 

borrowing ratio of 250 per cent 

net debt to revenue to 300 per cent 

until 2022. 

The pandemic left the city 

council with a $99 million 

revenue shortfall. 

The city council is already 

planning to borrow $102 million 

over the coming years in its draft 

Annual Plan as it braces itself for 

a series of reduced dividends from 

its trading company Christchurch 

City Holdings Ltd. 

It is proposing to borrow $33 

million to cover the predicted 

loss of dividend and also revenue 

in the previous financial year. 

A further $47 million for the 

current year and an additional 

$22 million in the next.

LOUD PREACHING through 

a microphone, chanting, singing 

and drumming into the early 

hours of the morning. 

This has been the reality for 

Rona Clayton and her neighbours, 

who live in a block of 

units next door to Light of all 

Nations church on Tankerville 

Rd, Hoon Hay. 

The church is on the former 

Hoon Hay Club site. 

Mrs Clayton said nothing has 

been done to stop the noise from 

the church in spite of her and 

her neighbours complaining to 

the city council about 20 times 

combined, asking the church’s 

landlord Marilyn Paston to 

address the issue and sending 

a petition with 16 signatures to 

Wigram MP Megan Woods. 

A spokeswoman for Dr Woods 

said the petition has been 

received and she is aware of the 

neighbours’ concerns. 

The city council was unable to 

provide details on the number of 

noise complaints the church has 

received in time yesterday. 

Light of all Nations senior 

apostle Peter Emadi could not be 

reached for comment. 

Two gatherings were held at 

the church at the start of lockdown 

and police were called to 

the second gathering and broke 

it up after one of Mrs Clayton’s 


Church racket angers residents 

neighbours reported it. 

Said Mrs Clayton: “I want to 

know why the [city] council are 

not doing their job. 

“You’re entitled to a first warning, 

a second warning, but a 

third, no.” 

She said on any day of the 

week, particularly Fridays and 

weekends, noise can start in the 

morning or in the evening and

midnight and that’s when, if I’m

On August 10 last year, she 

said the noise did not stop until 

2am. 

As for her neighbours who live 

in units closer to the church than 

her, Mrs Clayton said: “They 

hear everything and when they 

[church-goers] come out, it’s the 

slamming of doors, it’s the kids 

screaming.”

moved into her unit if she

church gets. 

Mrs Clayton has asked 

Ms Paston to talk to her tenants 

about reducing noise at their 

church but nothing has been 

done. 

But Ms Patson told The Star: 

“If the matter’s not resolved 

amicably, then the landlord 

is willing to have further 

conversations on the matter.”

BOREDOM, relaxation and 

stress are the key reasons 

drinking has increased during 

the Covid-19 pandemic. 

A survey has revealed 24 per 

cent of 25 to 49-year-olds have 

been drinking 

more than 

usual since 

alert level 4 

began, with 

the highest 

proportion of 

daily drinkers 

being those 

aged over 65. 

This is why 

the Christchurch 

Alcohol 

Action Plan has been created by 

the Canterbury District Health 

Board, police and the city council. 

The plan will focus on reducing 

alcohol harm across the 

community. 

A CDHB spokesperson said 

more New Zealanders have 

reported daily drinking since the 

lockdown. 

“One-in-five survey participants 

reported experiencing 

harm due to someone else’s 

drinking while in lockdown,” the 

said. 

Christchurch clinical psychologist 

Simon Adamson said 

he has spoken to people who 

were drinking more as a result of 

stress created by the pandemic. 

“More often, I was aware 

that there were people who 

were finding it a particularly 

stressful environment. 

The things that threw people 

the most were financial and job 

uncertainty, being kept in close 

quarters with family members 

. . . some people really struggled 

in that situation. 

“I’m aware in the wider community 

there [was] a lot more 

sort of social drinking that went 

on for some people around 


Bid to reduce alcohol harm 

Simon 

Adamson 

Zoom parties and that sort of 

thing,” he said. 

However, Dr Adamson said 

since alert level 4 began, the 

number of patients he has spoken 

to struggling with drinking 

problems has not increased compared 

to pre-Covid-19 levels. 

He supports the CAAP. 

“I think any public health 

activity that addresses alcoholrelated 

harm is welcome. We 

have a substantial drinking 

problem within New Zealand 

culture.” 

CAAP is co-funded by the 

Health Promotion Agency and 

will target non-regulated drinking 

environments and work with 

a range of organisations and 

groups to do so. 

Said CAAP’s co-ordinator 

Hayley Edgerton: “While some 

members of the community 

reported a reduction in alcohol 

use during lockdown, according 

to an HPA study one in five individuals 

reported increased levels 

of alcohol use – often with the 

justification that it helped them 

to relax or switch off. 

“There is real concern that 

these behaviours will continue 

or increase – especially with 

post-lockdown easier access to 

alcohol and its accepted status as 

a drug of choice for many,” she 

said. 

Just after the lockdown started 

in late March, there were 72 family 

harm events, a big spike from 

the about 30 reported to police 

on an average day. 

The number of events dropped 

to 42 the next day and has 

remained at about this number 

since. 

Said Detective Senior Sergeant 

Neville Jenkins: “What we do 

know is that [in] a high proportion 

of the family harm events 

alcohol is a factor.” 

He said this has been the 

case throughout the Covid-19 

pandemic.

921 union 

submissions 

call for zero per 

cent rates rise 

• By Louis Day 

MORE THAN 900 submissions 

calling for a zero per cent rates 

rise have been sent to the city 

council. 

The New Zealand Taxpayers’ 

Union handed a total of 1371 

responses it received from its 

own consultation with ratepayers 

to the city council regarding its 

proposed overall rates increase of 

3.5 per cent. 

Sixty-seven per cent of respondents 

to the union’s consultation 

document stated they wanted 

a zero per cent rates increase, 

which amounted to a total of 

921 submissions. Two per cent of 

respondents to the union wanted 

to see a rates rise. 

City council did not submit 

a zero per cent rates increase as 

a preferred option in this year’s 

draft Annual Plan. 

City council staff have stated the 

$122 million in savings needed 

to achieve no rise in rates would 

have “severe impacts” on council 

services and lead to an “unprecedented 

level of staff redundancy.” 

Consultation on the draft 

Annual Plan closed on Monday 

and councillors will sign off on 

a final plan by the end of this 

month.

Witness: Keep gunman interview private 

THE ROYAL Commission into 

the events leading up to the 

shooting dead of 51 Muslim 

worshippers has revealed it has 

talked to the gunman, leading to 

calls by some for the interview to 

be released for all to see. 

A witness to the March 15 

mosque attacks says an interview 

with the shooter should not be 

made public. 

Yama Nabi was running late 

for prayers on March 15 and 

avoided the gunman’s bullets, but 

he witnessed 

the horrific 

aftermath at 

the Al Noor 

mosque where 

his father Haji- 

Daoud Nabi 

was one of the 

Yama Nabi 

first to be shot. 

He believed 

victims and 

their families should definitely 

be shown the interview with the 

man responsible, but not the general 

public, as there was too great 

a risk that others may be inspired 

by his words. 

“We don’t want any harm to 

come to any countries anywhere 

you’re from, Hindu, Muslim, 

Jewish. You know, we don’t want 

these things happening around 

the world.” 

It was important when the 

commission released its findings, 

LESSONS: A witness to the March 15 mosque shootings has disagreed with calls to make 

footage the gunman’s interview public. 

PHOTO: GETTY 

that lessons were learned that 

prevented the same thing happening 

again, he said. 

“If somebody is applying for 

a firearms licence, they should 

not make the mistake again. You 

always ask them the question: 

‘What’s the reason you’re applying 

for a firearm?’ If it’s [for] 

hunting that’s a different story. 

There should be a certain amount 

of ammunition, not like give 

them well over 1000 rounds.” 

Muslim Association of Canterbury 

general secretary Feroze 

Ditta survived the Al Noor attack 

after becoming trapped under a 

pile of bodies. 

He still carries shrapnel from 

the gunman’s bullets in his leg. 

Unlike Yama Nabi, he did 

think the interview should be 

made public at the same time as 

the findings were released. 

“It would be nice to know what 

motivated him. Why, you know, 

he did this and who was behind it 

and just get to the bottom of what 

actually happened and how he 

managed to execute this.” 

Another member of the 

Christchurch muslim community, 

Tony Green, agreed the interview 

should be shared widely. 

Otherwise we risked repeating 

the mistakes of the past, he said. 

“Just as we look at the genesis 

of the Black Lives Matter movement 

in the States, the genesis of 

this goes back a long, long time. 

There was the feeling that New 

Zealand lived this somewhat 

charmed existence, and that 

therefore these distant things 

could not impact on us and yet 

these distant hatreds did come 

here and impacted seriously.” 

Strategic analyst and former 

US Defence Department adviser, 

Paul Buchanan, was among those 

interviewed by the commission. 

He said there was no way an 

unedited version of the interview 

would be released and that a 

greater danger was that the 

commission failed to hold the 

police and security services to 

account. 

The shooter’s late guilty plea 

meant there was a higher chance 

of this happening, he said. 

“What that did is it removed 

the court. It removed the ability 

to put, let’s say, for example, the 

police officers under oath to ask 

them what was done and not 

done in the lead-up to this. His 

defence attorneys won’t have the 

opportunity to cross examine 

members of the intelligence 

community as well as the police.” 

The commission’s findings 

were due at the end of July. 

The Muslim community in 

Christchurch was hoping they 

would shed some light on an act 

many were still struggling to 

come to terms with. – RNZ

Swiggs not ruling out return 


EMBATTLED former city 

councillor Deon Swiggs has not 

ruled out a return to local body 

politics following a potential 

route to re-election opening up. 

Sally Buck announced her resignation 

from the Linwood-Central- 

Heathcote Community Board due 

to ill health at 

the start of this 

week. 

A by-election 

to fill the 

vacancy she has 

left as a community 

board 

Jake 

McLellan 

member on the 

board will now 

be held later 

this year and is estimated to cost 

between $60,000 and $50,000. 

Mr Swiggs, who was ousted in 

last year’s local body elections 

following allegations of sending 

“grossly inappropriate” messages 

to youths, told The Star he had 

not ruled out running for the vacant 

community board member 

seat around the table he used to 

occupy as a councillor. 

“I would never rule anything 

out, but as I have said I have not 

thought too much about it,” he 

said. 

Mr Swiggs lost his Central 

Ward city council seat to incumbent 

Jake McLellan by 1188 votes 

after allegations made by three 

people, some as young as 13 years

provide an opportunity for Deon Swiggs to return to local

old, claimed Mr Swiggs had sent 

inappropriate messages to them. 

Supporters of Mr Swiggs 

lodged a petition in the district 

court arguing the allegations 

were released by the Canterbury 

Youth Worker’s Collective in 

order to sabotage his campaign. 

They also argued Cr McLellan’s 

campaign team had orchestrated 

the allegations made against Mr 

Swiggs, alleging Cr McLellan and 

his team had a hand in the allegations 

being leaked to media which 

appeared in The Press on September 

20, the same day voting papers 

were sent out. 

However, the accusation 

against Cr McLellan and his 

campaign team was dropped 

during the closing submissions 

of the trial. Judge Paul Kellar 

also ruled there was insufficient 

evidence to prove the accusations 

against the Canterbury Youth 

Worker’s Collective. 

Mr Swiggs refused to comment 

on the prospect of having to 

sit on the same board as Cr 

McLellan should he be elected to 

fill Ms Buck’s seat. 

“I’m not going to go into that.” 

Cr McLellan said he had 

no issues with the prospect of 

potentially sharing a community 

board table with Mr Swiggs. 

“Well it’s democracy, I have no 

animosity or hard feelings to Mr 

Swiggs whatsoever and if he is 

elected, he is elected,” he said.

Brave Lachie loses 

long cancer battle 

Lachie Sutherland 

CHRISTCHURCH boy Lachie 

Sutherland has lost his battle 

with cancer. 

The 12-year-old died at Nurse 

Maude Hospice on Tuesday 

after his second fight against 

neuroblastoma, a rare form of 

the disease which develops in 

infants and young children. 

A post to the family’s Facebook 

page, TouchPauseEngage, 

read: “It is with a heavy heart 

that we post this evening to 

share the news that Lachie 

passed away. We are heartbroken 

for our loss but deeply relieved 

that Lachie is no longer suffering.” 

Lachie was first diagnosed in 

January 2012 and he flew to Sydney, 

aged four, to receive MIGD 

therapy. 

His father, Chris Sutherland, 

died from metastatic melanoma 

in 2013, after being diagnosed a 

month earlier. 

Six years on, Lachie relapsed 

with neuroblastoma in August 

after showing no evidence of the 

disease since 2013. 

He spent the past five months 

undergoing eight rounds of 

chemotherapy and seven cycles 

of immunotherapy and radiation. 

Major fundraising was done 

earlier this year to afford selffunded 

MIGD therapy in Sydney, 

which Lachie was scheduled 

to receive in March. 

However, he could not 

undergo the treatment due to 

travel impacts caused by the 

Covid-19 pandemic.

Hosking no embarrassment 


LINWOOD COLLEGE is not 

embarrassed to have Mike 

Hosking as one of its alumni. 

This comes after former Mayor 

Garry Moore said the high 

school should be embarrassed to 

have the broadcaster as one of its 

graduates. 

In Mr 

Moore’s 

newsletter for 

his weekly 

Tuesday Club, 

a forum to 

discuss local 

issues, he 

criticised 

Garry Moore 

the media 

for how it 

has “twisted and turned” over 

whether the country should 

reopen its borders and singled 

out Hosking. 

“They [the media] were 

screaming out for weeks that 

borders should be opened 

up. Then when two women 

highlighted how vulnerable we 

are if we are complacent the 

media then screamed out in the 

opposite direction. The worst of 

them has to be Mike Hosking. 

Linwood College should be 

embarrassed that he was one of 

their graduates,” he wrote. 

While Hosking has been 

heavily criticised for his general 

coverage of the pandemic and 

the Government’s response to it, 

he has been relatively consistent 

on whether or not the country 

should reopen its border after 

moving to alert level 1. 

Even after two women 

were let out of quarantine on 

compassionate leave who later 

tested positive for the virus last 

month, Hosking wrote a column 

expressing the fault rested 

with authorities not properly 

screening new arrivals, not with 

the concept of reopening the 

border. 

Yesterday, another column 

from Hosking emphasised the 

need for a plan to re-open the 

border.

College

Richard Edmundson said the 

school was not embarrassed to 

call Hosking a graduate. 

“While we know that Mike is 

a polarising figure, we know of 

people that really value listening 

to him and we know a lot that 

don’t support what he says. I 

am just really pleased that we 

live in New Zealand where we 

have a strong democracy and

Te Kura Tuarua o Horomaka 

Hillmorton High School 

Inspiring academic excellence, leadership, and a love of learning 

From the Principal 

“Role modelling is not the main thing in 

influencing others, it is everything” Albert 

Schweitzer. 

Over the past two weeks I have had the absolute 

pleasure of interviewing 30 of our Year 12 

students who applied to have their leadership 

recognised with a leadership blazer. 

These young people impressed me with their 

compassion, determination, openness and 

their real commitment to ‘service leadership’. 

They are all well involved in the wider life of the 

school; playing sport, participating in The Arts 

and cultural activities, and serving on various 

committees. Many talked about how they help 

their classmates with their learning in class 

through encouragement and participating fully 

themselves in all class activities. 

Each has set a goal for each subject they take, 

and these goals will really stretch them. They are 

taking our motto of “Whaia te iti kahurangi’ ‘strive 

for the utmost’ or ‘personal best nothing less’ 

seriously. 

Each student has also set an attendance goal of 

well over 90% and they have all had a careers 

interview. 

These students are leading by example, they 

are living examples of our school values. Many 

began at Hillmorton in Year 7 when just 10 or 11 

years old. After 5½ years they have grown into 

mature, open, considerate and giving teenagers 

from diverse backgrounds. They make me very 

proud of our school, our students, our staff and 

our families who work alongside us to ensure that 

our vision “with our communities, we nurture 

well rounded and accomplished young people, 

prepared and ready for life” becomes a reality. 

Whaia te iti kahurangi, ki te tuohu koe me he 

maunga teitei 

“Seek that which is most precious, if you should 

bow, let it be to a lofty mountain”. 

Ann Brokenshire 

Principal 

International Success 

I have been struck many 

times over the past few 

months how our students 

and families have lived and 

embodied our school values 

of whanaunatanga and 

turangawaewae. 

With our growing realisation 

of the magnitude of the global 

pandemic earlier in the year, 

many of our 40 international 

students had to make a 

challenging decision. They had to decide whether they would stay here in New 

Zealand, or whether they would catch a flight to their home country before most 

commercial flights were suspended indefinitely at the end of March. 

Our short-term students who were due to leave all managed to get home, but 30 

of our young people from around the world chose to call New Zealand home for 

now and stay here with us. 

Our host families showed a huge sense of whanaunatanga and cared for our 

students during lockdown – we thank them so much for this. By providing a 

home for our students, and by being supported by staff at school and within the 

wider community, the students truly found turangawaewae – a place to belong 

and a place to stand. 

While our world has become a little smaller with our international borders 

closed, we treasure and value the international students who are living and 

studying alongside us.

Darryl Hawker one 

heck of a good guy 

From the 

editor’s desk 

Barry Clarke 

IT’S WET, COLD and miserable 

on Sunday morning as I walk 

towards Christchurch Hospital. I 

know the situation in a room in 

ward 25 will be even bleaker. 

Darryl Hawker, 64, is gravely ill 

and only has days to live. It has all 

happened fairly quickly. 

His partner Rose called me on 

Friday, saying he was keen to see 

me. 

She tells me he has a lung 

disease caused by his work as a 

plasterer. A lung transplant is now 

not an option. 

I’ve known Darryl since the 

mid-80s when he was running 

around as a loose forward for the 

champion Halswell premier rugby 

league side. 

It was a great era of club league 

with the legendary Halswell- 

Hornby grand-finals and Hawker 

was usually in the thick of the 

action. 

After his football career he 

became a top line referee, and also 

made his name in lawn bowls as a 

player, coach and selector. 

His background support of 

schoolboy rugby league and 

mentoring young bowlers over the 

years was not headline stuff, but it 

has been a major part of Darryl’s 

sporting DNA. 

I meet Rose and we go into his 

room. He has hypersensitivity 

pneumonitis, an inflammation of 

the airspaces caused by hypersensitivity 

to inhaled organic dusts. 

He looks up from the chair he is 

propped up in, clearly struggling 

to breathe. 

“Hi mate, it’s good to see ya,” I 

say. Asking how he is just doesn’t 

seem right. 

“Would you like to swap,” he responds, 

in his typical no-nonsense 

straight to the point way. 

“Not really,” I say. 

We make some small talk, and 

Rose’s cellphone keeps 

going off, friends, former 

teammates all wanting to 

know how he is. 

Bowling mate Ron 

Matheson and his wife 

Margaret have arrived, and 

Canterbury Bulls coach 

Darrell Coad pops in. 

From his chair, Darryl 

tries to talk to me, but it is 

hard through the oxygen mask 

and he takes it off. 

A nurse comes in with morphine. 

He drinks it quickly to keep 

the pain at bay. 

Rose says he developed a cough 

about three years ago when he 

returned from Hong Kong, which 

he put down to something he had 

picked up on the plane. 

“Darryl being Darryl” he didn’t 

go to the doctor. 

Months later, Rose convinced 

him to go to the doctor. It wasn’t 

just a cough. 

He had never worn a mask during 

his 17 of years plastering and 

this, she says, is why he is where he 

is today. 

She and Darryl have been battling 

ACC which has refused to 

accept his claim as work-related. 

Medical evidence suggests differently. 

That rankles with him. “He’s 

paid his taxes, paid his levies, 

never been on a benefit,” says 

Rose. 

We get back to talking 

rugby league. 

I ask Darryl what 

his most memorable 

game was. “The first 

grand-final.” Halswell 

beat Hornby 17-16 in 

that memorable 1985 

final, a feat which was 

repeated two years later 

with another one-point win over 

Hornby (15-14), field goals by the 

mercurial Phil Bancroft being the 

difference between the sides. 

“Who were your most respected 

teammates?” 

“All of them,” he says. I try to 

get a little more out of him. “They 

were all the same.” 

“What about your opponents?” 

“They were all hard,” he gets out. 

“Who was your most respected 

opponent then?” 

“Wayne Wallace,” he says 

quickly. “A very good footballer. 

He could read a game.” 

Darryl is starting to run out of 

breath. 

I ask: “What are your personal 

milestones?”

“Looking after the school kids 

and teaching them,” he says. 

Rose chips in: “The game 

(league) to him was very good 

and he wanted to put something 

back into the game. That has 

mattered most to him. He’s been a 

match manager for rugby league. 

He’d be up at 6am to set up the 

fields.” 

Darryl mentions he took up 

amateur wrestling in his 20s, 

winning Canterbury and South 

Island titles and finishing third in 

a New Zealand championship. 

“Now I know when you tackled 

someone they stayed pinned on 

the ground,” I say. 

He smiles from behind the 

mask. 

It’s getting time to go. How do 

you say goodbye. 

“We’ll mate I’d better get 

going,” I say with a lump in my 

throat. 

In an instant out comes his 

hand. I take it and we shake. 

“Been a pleasure,” he muffles. 

“See ya mate,’’ I reply and I 

disappear. 

It’s been great to know a true 

servant to Canterbury sport. 

•Darryl’s condition deteriorated 

rapidly overnight Tuesday. He 

was put on more morphine and 

doctor’s began to sedate him 

yesterday morning.

Tell us about Harrison/Bloy 

Harrison/Bloy is a privatelyowned 

bathroom, kitchen, 

and plumbing business with 

five South Island branches and 

a reputation for top-quality 

products and exceptional 

customer service. 

The recent lockdown has 

been tough on everyone, what 

was the toughest aspect for 

Harrison/Bloy and its people? 

How did you adapt? 

As an essential service, our 

branches provided contactless 

pick-up and delivery for tradies. 

Support and admin staff were 

either working from home or 

ready to do so in the final days 

before lockdown. CCL’s remote 

desktop services and support 

ensured all systems ran smoothly 

– other than a few bandwidth 

issues which CCL helped us 

through, we didn’t miss a beat. 

The decision we made years ago 

to architect our IT systems for 

remote work proved a winner. 

Now that lockdown has been 

relaxed, are you expecting 

to operate differently? What 

aspects of your business do you 

think will change permanently? 

We continue to refine 

workplace policies and 

procedures to improve hygiene, 

cleanliness, and personal health. 

On the business side we must be 

ready to adapt because markets 

will change. There’s no point 

panicking, as unknown impacts 

are yet to play out. You can 

choose to run scared – but that 

just makes people nervous – or 

get excited about rising to the 

challenge. 

What role does technology 

play at Harrison/Bloy as you 

adjust to the so-called new 

normal? Which technology has 

been most helpful? Are you 

using any new technology now? 

We’ve always had remote 

CONTENT MARKETING 

Each week we profile a local Christchurch organisation 

to give them a plug and see how they’re going as the 

country eases into recovery. This week we spoke to 

Ben Bloy, co-owner of Harrison/Bloy 

Supported by 

working capabilities, so working 

that way doesn’t pose new 

challenges to our technology 

systems. However, additional 

workplace flexibility requires 

a heightened sense of security, 

and on this front we’re rolling 

out multi-factor authentication. 

We’re also evaluating business 

intelligence systems to measure 

our performance and put 

numbers to what we do well and 

where we can improve. 

Do you have a sense of 

what the future looks like for 

Harrison/Bloy? 

While the pandemic up-ended 

normality, low interest rates and 

decisive Government action 

sees New Zealand in a stronger 

position than most other 

countries. The wage subsidy 

has made a huge difference to 

the preservation of jobs and 

market confidence. Next steps 

will be challenging, because the 

economy has taken a big hit and 

will run on three cylinders for 

some time. But we’re a resilient 

bunch – we bounced backed 

from the GFC, the earthquakes, 

and the mosque tragedy. We’ll 

be even stronger when we get 

through this experience. 

Finally, what lessons have you 

learned from this chapter in our 

history? 

We’ve heard a lot about 

working from home, but less 

about workplace culture. There’s 

nothing better than having our 

people back at work. Technology 

is great and flexibility important, 

but you need people around you 

to build a strong culture. What’s 

more, when you leave your 

workplace at the day’s end you 

leave your work behind. Whereas 

when you work from home, 

work is always there. It might 

be good for employers, but it’s 

harder on staff. The best answer 

is somewhere in between.

Tree cutting 

I am feeling very depressed at 

the way the council and their 

so called tree technicians are 

cutting down trees in our once 

“garden city.” 

I’m afraid that name can no 

longer be used. Seemingly, these 

technicians identify trees that 

are needing attention – and the 

contractors set about their tasks. 

I was upset and sickened viewing 

the state of the once beautiful 

and elegant weeping willow trees 

in Park Tce. They have been 

trimmed severely, like a fringe, 

but only on one side so now they 

weep towards the river as they 

are meant to, but the street side 

of the trees have been cut straight 

across in the most unsympathetic 

way. I assume these trees 

had the temerity to weep their 

fronds towards the path. 

Shocking treatment of these 

iconic trees, which have so much 

fascinating history. The council 

need to be held account for their 

indiscriminate treatment of our 

trees. 

Just walk around the new river 

walkway starting at Kilmore St/ 

Fitzgerald Ave and note how 

many trees were sacrificed to lay 

the path. Heaven help that they 

could curve the path around the 

existing, fully mature trees. So, 

new path but little shade any 

more. I used to walk around 

there before it received the 

“council treatment.” 

The birds were prolific and the 

ducks gathered underneath for 

the shade and shelter. 

I guess they will just have to do 

without. – Sandra Shaw

New stadium 

When planning is under way 

for the new stadium, maybe it 

would be beneficial to make 

an area with power supply that 

could be rented out short term 

for central city self-contained 

campervan parking. It would 

cost little to set up and patrol, 

and would help cafes, restaurants, 

theatre and retail shops. 

It could be made available at 

times when there were no main 

events at the stadium. 

At busy times, such an area 

would have a myriad of uses.

ever. – Jean Murphy 

Remember Louisa, she would 

walk to school with us sometimes. 

Such a beautiful little girl. 

I’ll always remember her.

I remember this case well. I 

was only 15 at the time but my 

sister was 6, same age as Louisa. 

The mothers of the children in 

my sister’s class all called each 

other up and most of the children 

were then driven to school 

or walked. – Nicky Griffith 

I worked over the road from 

where this girl was taken, the 

whole factory was interviewed. 

Everyone was upset for her. This 

person should die behind bars, 

her family have also had the life 

sentence, this person should too. 

Awful for her family, awful for 

police working on the case. 

– Allison Grant 

Lived next door to Louisa, her 

brother and parents. A lovely 

family. Louisa always said hello 

and had such a beautiful smile.

it so well. Never let my 

children walk to school on their 

own after that. It changed new 

Zealand.

What an absolute monster!

so strong to have dealt with this.

COMMITMENT: Evan Smith has been a driving force 

behind a petition on the future of the residential red 

zone.

Riverside park 

campaign 

comes full circle 

IT WAS very special to be able 

to welcome Poto Williams and 

members of the Avon Ōtākaro 

Network to the council chamber 

this week as the more than 

18,000 signature petition on 

the future of the residential red 

zone was returned home from 

Parliament. 

It was a ceremony that involved 

people rowing, kayaking, 

cycling and walking the petition 

through the Ōtākaro Avon 

River Corridor in a way that 

mirrored the original journey to 

Wellington eight years ago. 

The petition had called on 

Parliament to work with the 

people and local authorities of 

Christchurch to ensure that the 

Avon River red zone becomes a 

reserve and river park when the 

home-owners had to leave. The 

Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor 

Regeneration Plan has enabled 

this vision to become a reality. 

So, this ceremony represented 

a closing of the circle. And it was 

an opportunity to pay tribute to 

the person who was the driving 

force behind the petition and 

has remained so every step of 

the way. 

Evan Smith’s passion and 

commitment has been to ensure 

that the community would be at 

the heart of planning the future 

for this place that had been the 

homes of thousands of Christchurch 

residents. 

It has remained his dream 

that the governance of this land 

becomes a genuine partnership 

between mana whenua and the 

community. 

As we prepare for the transfer 

of this land to the Council, this 

is the time for this conversation 

to begin. 

The Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor 

is a wonderful gift, which 

enables us to explore what a 

community partnership model 

of ownership could look like. 

This will allow us to reflect 

this place’s unique history and 

the legacy it offers us all in 

perpetuity.

the remainder into 2cm slices 

through the root to make four 

‘steaks’ (you can freeze the 

leftovers for soup or cauliflower 

cheese). Trim them down slightly 

if they’re much bigger than the 

size of the buns. 

Divide the spices equally 

between the flour and 

breadcrumbs in two shallow 

bowls. 

Dust each cauli steak in the 

flour. Dip in the beaten egg then 

coat in the breadcrumbs. 

Heat 1cm deep of oil in a large 

frying pan. Cook the steaks on 

a medium heat for about 5min 

each side until crisp, golden and 

tender. 

To build the burgers, spread the 

top and bottom of each bun with 

hummus. Add a few rocket leaves 

then a slice of pepper. Top with the 

cauli steak, some drained pickled 

cucumber, and some hot sauce, if 

using. Put on the tops and serve. 

Our creamy cauliflower 

soup is spiced with 

curry powder for a 

low-calorie veggie 

winter warmer 

Spiced cauli soup 

Serves 4 

Ingredients 

1 cauliflower, large (about 450g) 

2 tbsp vegetable oil 

1 onion, finely chopped 

2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced 

1 tbsp medium curry powder 

1 litre vegetable stock 

100g Greek yogurt 

½ lemon, juiced 

Directions 

Trim all of the florets from the 

cauliflower and cut into chunky 

pieces, keeping back two of the 

nicer florets for later. Finely chop 

the stem. 

Heat the vegetable oil in a 

large pan and cook the chopped 

cauliflower florets and stem with 

the onion over a medium heat for 

10min, stirring regularly, until the 

cauliflower is deeply golden. 

Tip in the garlic and cook for 

2min, then add the curry powder 

and cook for 1min. 

Pour in the vegetable stock 

and simmer for 20min until the 

cauliflower is starting to break 

down. Stir through the yogurt, 

then use a stick blender to whizz 

until completely smooth. 

Use a sharp knife or mandoline 

to very thinly slice the two 

cauliflower florets you kept back. 

Gently toss them with a little 

seasoning and the lemon juice. 

Pour the soup into bowls 

and top with the thinly sliced 

cauliflower, and a grinding of 

black pepper, if you like.

APPRENTICE JOCKEY Rohan 

Mudhoo proved to be the star 

of the show in the return of 

races at Riccarton following the 

easing of Covid-19 pandemic 

restrictions. 

The Mauritian-born 21-yearold 

rode a treble of winners on 

Saturday, 

“That is the first time that I 

have ridden three winners in 

a row so it was a great thrill,” 

Mudhoo said. 

He is in the second full season 

of his apprenticeship with Riccarton 

trainer Mike McCann 

after following his older brother 

Krishna to New Zealand to 

launch his riding career. 

Saturday’s treble aboard 

stable runners Gee Tee Eleanor, 

Frankie The Fox and the Ellis 

Winsloe-trained Irish Excuse 

took him to the 51-win mark for 

his career to date. 

“I was pretty calm going into 

the day and my boss had told 

me just to take things how they 

come and give the horses the 

best possible chance I could. 

“When the track got wetter 

during the day, I was pretty 

hopeful as both of our stable 

horses had been working well 

and handling that type of 

ground well at home. 

“Irish Excuse was just amazing 

and it was a magic effort. 

“I was walking about 50.5kg 

so I had to put over 10kg of lead 

in my saddle to get to the weight 

he had to carry. 

“He just didn’t want to give up 

in the straight, he just kept trying 

and trying and he got there 

in the end.” 

From a non-racing background, 

Mudhoo admits he was 

like any typical younger brother, 

keen to follow in the footsteps of 

his older sibling Krishna when 

he started out on his path to 

becoming a jockey. 

“In my family the only person 

who is involved in racing is my 

older brother,” he said. 

“When he was riding back 

home, he went to the South African 

Jockey Academy and then 

got the opportunity to come to 

New Zealand. 

“I thought I’d follow him as 

I had been following him since 

I was a kid, the usual younger 

brother thing where whatever he 

was doing, I wanted to be doing 

the same. 

“I wanted to act like him and 

I’d jump on the bed and pretend 

I was riding like him. 

“I rang him here in New Zealand 

and he eventually managed 

to get me a job here.” 

While Mudhoo looked up 

to his brother, Krishna made 

sure his younger sibling found 

out just what hard work was 

required to make it as a jockey. 

“He (Krishna) has taught me a 

lot in so many ways but I can say

he has never been nice to me on 

a racetrack,” Mudhoo said. 

“He was always telling me 

what I had done wrong, picked 

on my mistakes and made me 

learn very quickly. 

“That has been good for my 

riding and I do appreciate it as 

it has taught me to figure out 

what I need to do in different 

circumstances. 

“I know he loves me but he can 

be a grumpy so and so when we 

are out on the track together.” 

Mudhoo is keen to develop his 

riding further and plans to take 

every opportunity available to 

him as he looks forward to the 

next 12 months in the saddle. 

“I’m doing what I really want 

to do and I’m living my dream 

with race riding so I feel like I 

am blessed.”

Home 

& Property 

EvEry Thursday 

Keeping safe 

during open homes 

There’s a lot to consider 

when putting your home 

on show during the 

selling process. While 

you want your property to 

look attractive to potential 

buyers, you don’t want 

them to advertise your 

precious belongings to 

anyone with ill intent. As 

in most circumstances, a 

bit of common sense goes 

a long way. 

To start with, you should 

feel completely confident 

about your real estate agent. Licensed 

real estate agents are bound by the 

Code of Conduct, which means they 

have a clear responsibility to safeguard 

your property. If you have any concerns 

about holding open homes, or having 

viewings of your property, it’s important 

to discuss these with the agent so you 

can both feel comfortable. They can 

advise you on any precautions to take as 

part of preparing the property for sale. 

When you’re getting ready to put 

the property on the market, the 

New Zealand Police National Crime 

Prevention Centre recommends 

checking with your insurance provider 

so you know what your policy covers. 

Make sure you have enough insurance 

to cover any potential property damage, 

or any valuables. Let trusted neighbours 

know the dates of any upcoming open 

homes or viewings, and ask them to 

keep an eye out for anything unusual. 

The Police also suggest that you store 

any valuables well out of sight before 

you hold your first open home, or make 

the property available for viewing. The 

most commonly stolen items include 

money, jewellery, office equipment, 

clothing, electronics, and firearms. 

Photograph and record serial numbers.

throughout Christchurch

www.justcabins.co.nz 

It can be helpful to make a checklist 

to streamline the process and ensure 

you don’t overlook anything. It’s a good 

idea to hide your calendars – open 

home viewers don’t need to know when 

you plan to be away, or where you’re 

planning to go. Put away family photos, 

and lock away any passports, spare keys, 

financial statements and credit cards. 

Store any alcohol and prescription drugs 

out of sight and preferably out of the 

reach of children. 

On the day of the open home, it is best 

to wait at the property until the agent 

arrives so you can officially pass the 

security responsibility to them. Be sure 

to walk the agent through the property 

and orient them as needed. Ask them if 

you can help them close up at the end of 

the open home. Together you can check 

the property, including any storage 

areas and outside spaces. Double check 

all the locks on windows and doors to 

make sure they are secured as they were 

before the viewing started. 

Selling a home can be a stressful 

process, so it makes sense to minimise 

any hassles wherever possible. If you’ve 

taken all the sensible precautions, you 

shouldn’t need to worry about holding 

an open home.
