Alleged rugby club fraudster<br />
unlikely to face the music<br />
• By Dylan Smits<br />
AN ALLEGED rugby club<br />
fraudster is unlikely to face the<br />
courts unless she returns to New<br />
Zealand.<br />
Nicola Flint is accused of stealing<br />
more than $100,000 from the<br />
Christchurch Football Club while<br />
entrusted with its finances.<br />
She was due to appear in the<br />
district court on June 7 on nine<br />
fraud charges. <strong>The</strong> charges laid<br />
against Flint include causing<br />
loss by deception, forgery, using<br />
forged documents, theft by a<br />
person in a special relationship<br />
and taking, and obtaining or<br />
using a document for pecuniary<br />
advantage, according to court<br />
documents.<br />
Nicola Flint has also been<br />
accused of falsely telling friends<br />
she had terminal cancer.<br />
She and her Kiwi husband<br />
Andrew Flint and their two teenage<br />
children left for the United<br />
Kingdom in December. A warrant<br />
for her arrest was issued when she<br />
failed to appear in court. <strong>The</strong>y had<br />
a family business in Christchurch,<br />
Flint Construction.<br />
<strong>The</strong> rugby club has retrieved<br />
the missing money after the<br />
Flint’s sold their family home in<br />
St Albans in April for $713,000. A<br />
caveat was placed on the property<br />
after negotiations between the<br />
club and Flint’s lawyers.<br />

ESCAPE: Alleged fraudster Nicola Flint fled to Wales in December with her husband Andrew and teenaged children, after<br />

AFTER A LONG battle, the<br />
Christchurch Farmers’ Market<br />
has had its opening hours cut<br />
after a disagreement over the<br />
impact it has on Riccarton<br />
House and Bush.<br />
Stallholders were left angry<br />
after being told in February the<br />
market’s hours could be reduced,<br />
which an anonymous stallholder<br />
told <strong>The</strong> Press was due to damage<br />
caused by the public to grass<br />
areas and garden beds.<br />
<strong>The</strong> reduction in hours<br />
did not go ahead after an<br />
angry response from<br />
stallholders and a complaint<br />
about the market breaching its<br />
resource consent was reviewed<br />
by the city council, <strong>The</strong> Press<br />
reported.<br />
But the market’s hours have<br />
now been officially cut.<br />
It will run from 9am to noon<br />
on Saturdays, instead of closing<br />
at 1pm – and the number<br />

Farmers’ market opening hours reduced<br />

Riccarton Bush trust manager<br />
Shona Willis told <strong>The</strong> Press the<br />
changes to the market means it<br />
was now “complying” with its<br />
resource consent.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re’s been a bit of creeping<br />
over the years. It’s time we did<br />
things well.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> consent was always for<br />

Alpine village readies<br />
for winter festival influx<br />
• By John Cosgrove<br />
POP-UP LIGHT displays, star<br />
gazing and ice bath plunge<br />
pools – Hanmer’s Alpine Winter<br />
Festival is gearing up for a big<br />
opening weekend.<br />
<strong>The</strong> festival starts on Saturday<br />
and organisers say they have everything<br />
ready to go. Now all they<br />
need is for the weather to play<br />
ball and dump some snow on the<br />
surrounding mountains.<br />
Hanmer Springs <strong>The</strong>rmal<br />
Pools and Spa/Hurunui Tourism<br />
sales and marketing manager<br />
Shane Adcock said it has been<br />
a challenge to get organised in<br />
time after a break last year.<br />
“We are pretty excited about<br />
the programme, there is quite a<br />
lot in there with small and large<br />
events.<br />
“It makes for a more vibrant<br />
calendar for people to enjoy.”<br />
An influx of tourists is expected<br />
for the third edition of<br />
the festival, first held in 2021 and<br />
then in 2022.<br />
<strong>The</strong> festival runs until <strong>July</strong> 16<br />
and includes a range of ticketed<br />
and non-ticketed events.<br />
Activities include night light<br />
tree top climbing, family picnic<br />
quad/buggy rides, outdoor puzzle<br />
hunts, a fire truck display,<br />
village light competitions and a<br />
ski field open day.<br />
Adcock said one of his favourite<br />
events is the public light<br />
displays.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y are bigger and better<br />
than the last time in the public<br />
areas around the village.”<br />
He is also looking forward to<br />
the mini golf night, which will<br />
be held for the first time. Adcock<br />
said the goal of the festival is<br />
to build on Hanmer Springs’<br />
reputation as an attractive alpine<br />
village during the <strong>July</strong> school<br />
holidays, to help create vibrancy,<br />
and increase visitor numbers.<br />

Dog adoptions<br />
free in <strong>July</strong><br />
LOOKING TO adopt a dog?<br />
This month, the city council’s<br />
animal management team<br />
is making the process a little<br />
easier.<br />
<strong>The</strong> adoption fee will be<br />
wiped during <strong>July</strong> in an attempt<br />
to get more dogs into their forever<br />
homes.<br />
“We’ve noticed an increase in<br />
the number of dogs coming into<br />
our shelter, and we really want<br />
to help these pups get rehomed<br />
to loving families,” said city<br />
council animal services manager<br />
Lionel Bridger.<br />
“We know it’s a challenging<br />
time at the moment so<br />
this month we want to help<br />
where we can to get these dogs<br />
adopted.”<br />
Dog registration and<br />
vaccination fees still apply.<br />
Microchipping is already<br />
free for all registered dogs in<br />
Christchurch.<br />
“Adopting a dog is a huge<br />
decision and one that shouldn’t<br />
be taken lightly, so we have a<br />
few criteria owners must meet<br />
before we send our pups home<br />
with them,” said Bridger.<br />
New owners must pass a<br />
property inspection, have<br />
landlord consent if renting, and<br />
where applicable have a history<br />
of good dog ownership.<br />
If you already have a dog, staff<br />
will arrange a meet-and-greet to<br />
assess suitability.<br />
“We want our dogs to go to<br />
their forever homes, and we<br />
don’t want to get this wrong,”<br />
Bridger said.<br />

Moves to curtail beggars considered<br />
• By Anna Sargent and<br />
Isabella Adams<br />
THE CITY council is considering<br />
options, including a bylaw, to<br />
address aggressive begging – with<br />
fears it is out of control in some<br />
areas.<br />
Auckland and Wellington city<br />
councils have bylaws in place that<br />
prohibit anti-social behaviour<br />
associated with aggressive<br />
begging.<br />
<strong>The</strong> owner of a gift shop in<br />
Woolston, Rose, said businesses<br />
were fed up with aggressive<br />
beggars.<br />
“I’ve been here 27 years and the<br />
last two years have been shocking.<br />
“We’ve got homelessness, we’ve<br />
got people harassing people for<br />
money, it’s just unbelievable. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
can be pretty scary for elderly<br />
people and they go up to people in<br />
their cars and everything. It’s just<br />
not on,” she said.<br />
She even had beggars enter her<br />
shop and approach customers.<br />
Rose would support a bylaw<br />
banning aggressive begging –<br />
saying stronger enforcement was<br />
long overdue.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re’s no authority that’s<br />
the trouble. <strong>The</strong>se people are not<br />
answerable to the likes of us when<br />
we tell them to move on.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> Salvation Army shop in<br />
Addington experiences regular<br />
run-ins with aggressive beggars.<br />
TARGET: Staff at the Salvation<br />
Army shop in Addington<br />
say beggars have entered<br />
the premises and harassed<br />
customers.<br />
A Sallies spokesperson said<br />
beggars were coming into the<br />
store, banging on vehicles in the<br />
adjacent carpark and were making<br />
it hard for customers to close their<br />
car doors, all while asking for<br />
money. <strong>The</strong>y said elderly women<br />
were the most common targets for<br />
beggars.<br />
A council report said Mayor<br />
Phil Mauger was seeking advice<br />
from staff for options on what<br />
could be done.<br />
City councillor Jake McLellan<br />
said it was not about punishing<br />
people who safely solicited<br />
support from the public.<br />
“What we’re concerned about<br />
is people being threatened and<br />
intimidated, being stood over at<br />
ATMs.<br />
DESPERATE: Councillor Jake McLellan said the council did<br />
not want to punish people who safely solicited support, but<br />
sought to curtail threats and aggression. PHOTO: GETTY<br />
“That’s the type of behaviour<br />
that really borders on the legal<br />
limits of what you are and aren’t<br />
allowed to do. So we’re happy to<br />
look at tools that give the police<br />
additional powers to look into<br />
that,” he said.<br />
McLellan said they would<br />
be looking at how effective the<br />
bylaws were in Auckland and<br />
Wellington.<br />
“I’ll support a bylaw if the<br />
evidence backs it up, I want to be<br />
really clear about that. What I’m<br />
almost certain we do need more of<br />
is resourcing for the City Mission<br />
and other similar agencies that<br />
work with people on the street.”<br />
Auckland’s city centre business<br />
association Heart of the City<br />
provides initiatives to help address<br />
aggressive begging in the city.<br />
Chief executive Viv Beck said<br />
the effectiveness of the current<br />
by-law in Auckland largely<br />
comes down to enforcement, as<br />
the general rules prohibit “bad<br />
behaviour”.<br />
“A recent shift in approach to<br />
enforcement, along with increased<br />
numbers of compliance officers<br />
operating in the city centre, has<br />

kiwi<br />
made a difference. However, Heart<br />
of the City is seeking changes to<br />
the bylaw to further improve the<br />
environment for everyone,’’ Beck<br />
said.<br />
Christchurch City Missioner<br />
Corinne Haines said people who<br />
were genuinely homeless were<br />
often not aggressive beggars.<br />
She feared this behaviour could<br />
create a negative feeling towards<br />
all those who were sleeping rough.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y may have a little sign,<br />
they may say ‘hey give me some<br />
money’, but I don’t think they<br />
would be the bulk of the people<br />
who are aggressively begging<br />
on the street. We don’t condone<br />
aggressive begging, we’re here<br />
to look after those who are truly<br />
homeless,” she said.<br />
It was important that any bylaw<br />
around aggressive begging did<br />
not stop the City Mission from<br />
helping those people who were<br />
genuinely sleeping rough, Haines<br />
said.<br />
She advised people to not give<br />
money to aggressive beggars, and<br />
to report threatening behaviour to<br />
the police.<br />

LAYBY WELCOME<br />
• By Anna Sargent<br />
CARE AND support workers<br />
have held rallies around<br />
the country calling on the<br />
Government to fully fund a<br />
pay equity settlement.<br />
<strong>The</strong> unions E tū, PSA and<br />
the New Zealand Nurses<br />
Organisation (NZNO) said<br />
the rallies were the next step<br />
in a long campaign for the<br />
workers’ pay equity claim,<br />
which was filed against 15<br />
employers almost two years<br />
ago.<br />
<strong>The</strong> claim could have<br />
implications for 65,000 people<br />
working in disability, home<br />
and mental health support,<br />
as well as aged care work, the<br />
unions said.<br />
Last month the unions took<br />
the claim to the Employment<br />
Relations Authority.<br />
In Christchurch, about<br />
40 people waved signs and<br />
flags on the footpath near the<br />
Hornby Club.<br />
NZNO delegate Val Fifita<br />
said workers were there<br />
protesting for equal pay.<br />
“Our counterparts like the<br />
DHB have all got pay rises but<br />
we haven’t. We do the same<br />
amount of work for the same<br />
FAIR: Care and support workers at a rally in Hornby.<br />

patients and everything. All<br />
we’re asking really is to be<br />
paid what we’re worth.<br />
“We’re really hoping<br />
the government will come<br />
through and support the equal<br />
pay case.”<br />
In 2017, the Government<br />
signed a $2 billion equity<br />
settlement giving tens of<br />
thousands of care and support<br />
workers a pay rise.<br />
E tū activist and residential<br />
aged care worker Marianne<br />
Bishop said the Government<br />
needed to front up.<br />
“We have been waiting<br />
far too long for a decent pay<br />
equity settlement,” she said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> care and support<br />
workforce is an essential part<br />
of our health system and our<br />
wider communities.<br />
“We do these jobs because<br />
we love the work and we want<br />
to do the best we can.<br />
“We are really worried about<br />
the future of the sector if there<br />
isn’t a proper settlement really<br />
soon.<br />
“We can’t attract and<br />
retain workers if they know<br />
they’re only going to be paid<br />
a pittance. We have an ageing<br />
workforce and an ageing<br />
population – unless we fix this<br />
now, it’s a recipe for disaster.”<br />
PSA spokesperson Brad<br />
Sparrow said care and support<br />
workers are among the lowest<br />
paid in the industry.<br />
“So just really need to get<br />
our wages up to meet the cost<br />
of living and so we don’t lose<br />
some of our people supporting<br />
our most vulnerable over to<br />
the Aussies,” he said.<br />
In a statement, Health<br />
New Zealand/Te Whatu Ora<br />
said it was aware the Public<br />
Service Association applied<br />
to the Employment Relations<br />
Authority last month to<br />
determine remuneration rates<br />
in relation to the <strong>July</strong> 1, 2022,<br />
care and support worker pay<br />
equity claim.<br />
“Health NZ is not the<br />
employer of this workforce<br />
and is not a party to the<br />
claim,” it said.<br />
“However, Health NZ, as<br />
a major funder, has been in<br />
ongoing discussions with<br />
employers to support them<br />
with resolving the claim made<br />
against them.”<br />

Woolston Brass performs with world-class<br />
Percussion Soloist Roanna Funcke<br />
Talented Woolston Brass brings you Seriously Brass:<br />
A Tale As Yet Untold on Saturday 24 August, 7.30pm at<br />
<strong>The</strong> Piano featuring Guest Percussion Soloist Roanna<br />
Funcke. Associate Principal Percussionist of the<br />
Christchurch Symphony Orchestra and sought-after<br />
Percussion Tutor and Performer, Roanna has toured<br />
internationally with the National Band of New Zealand<br />
and Woolston Brass. Don’t miss this special concert<br />
showcasing exceptional talent and remarkable music!<br />
Woolston Brass will open the programme<br />
with Edward Gregson’s first major test piece <strong>The</strong><br />
Plantagenets, written for the 1973 National Brass Band<br />
Championships. This virtuosic symphonic study of<br />
rhythmic and melodic variety portrays the majestic<br />
mood and feelings of an age of chivalry – that of the<br />
House of Plantagenet which lasted from the middle of<br />
the twelfth century to the end of the fourteenth.<br />
Woolston Brass combined with outstanding Guest<br />
Soloist Roanna Funcke will perform Percussion<br />
Concerto written by Jennifer Higdon. Premiered in<br />
2005 by the Philadelphia Orchestra, the work has been<br />
transcribed for brass band by Pablo Ruiz Henao for<br />
this special performance. Higdon makes wondrous use<br />
advertorial<br />
of percussion in all its wide spectrum of sounds and<br />
unleashes a kinetic storm of urban beats balanced by<br />
passages of Asian-influenced reflections.<br />
Woolston Brass will perform Stijn Aertgeerts’<br />
reflective work Hope that symbolises and portrays<br />
hope and love, and the belief in humanity to come out<br />
stronger than everything that drives us apart, ultimately<br />
working towards a better world. Woolston Brass will<br />
conclude the concert with Philip Sparke’s major work<br />
A Tale As Yet Untold. <strong>The</strong> melodic theme set in three<br />
movements expresses the power of the human spirit to<br />
overcome adversity and how the beauty of music can<br />
provide the human soul peace, hope and optimism.<br />
Join Woolston Brass on 24 August to hear one of New<br />
Zealand’s finest and most versatile brass bands and their<br />
outstanding Guest Percussion Soloist Roanna Funcke<br />

Old cobblers shop on the move<br />
LEGENDARY: <strong>The</strong> shoe<br />
repair shop has been in<br />
Adam McGregor’s family<br />
for more than 60 years.<br />
It opened in 1880 – the<br />
key from opening day is<br />
mounted on the wall.<br />
FOR MORE than a century, a<br />
humble shoe repair shop has<br />
helped Cantabrians put their<br />
best foot forward.<br />
For 144 years, the shop at 27<br />
Lincoln Rd, Hillmorton, has<br />
served the same purpose.<br />
<strong>The</strong> McGregors have owned<br />
and operated the business for the<br />
past six decades – but it’s time<br />
for a change.<br />
“It’s been a good ol’ girl, but it’s<br />
probably done its dash,” Adam<br />
McGregor told Newshub.<br />
<strong>The</strong> McGregors moved operations<br />
to a new shop on Monday<br />
at 5/37 Shands Rd, Hornby.<br />
“It’s got running hot water,<br />
that’s a novelty. And a toilet, in<br />
the building,” said McGregor.<br />
<strong>The</strong> old building opened as<br />
a shoe repair shop on April 29,<br />
1880.<br />
A newspaper clipping hangs<br />
on the wall from that day, with<br />
the original key for the front<br />
door mounted nearby.<br />
“It (was) started in 1880 by a<br />
guy called George Thomas, who<br />
lived in the back here, with a<br />
shop out the front,” McGregor<br />
told Newshub.<br />
In 1956, McGregor’s father was<br />
in his 20s, already a cobbler and<br />
keen to go out on his own.<br />
While biking to work into<br />
town he passed the Lincoln Rd<br />
business.<br />
“Dad walked in here – the<br />
guy’s name was Eddie Beach –<br />
and said ‘would you like to sell<br />
your business, I’m quite keen to<br />
buy it?’” McGregor said.<br />
“Eddie said ‘nah, no way’. Well<br />
bugger me, a month later he had<br />
a heart attack, didn’t die, and<br />
got hold of dad and said ‘do you<br />
want to buy it?’”<br />
McGregor’s father purchased<br />
the store using a £500 loan from<br />
his mum.<br />
“It was meant to be.”<br />
<strong>The</strong>re was never any intention<br />
to follow the same career path.<br />
“I wasn’t going to stay very long,<br />
but I said to the old man ‘I’ll come<br />
and help you for a<br />
wee while’. That was 43 years ago.”<br />
Despite the current economic<br />
times, business is still booming.<br />
So much so, McGregor needs<br />
more space to work around.<br />
“Every year I think that might<br />
change – it might get quieter and<br />
that, but it doesn’t. It just stays<br />
the same.”<br />
In summer, wait times are<br />
usually one week. In winter, the<br />
workload means that extends to<br />
a month.<br />
“It’s always been busy the<br />
whole time.”<br />
In lieu of the shift to Hornby,<br />
McGregor plans to have “a few<br />
quiets” to send off the old building,<br />
Newshub reported.<br />
“I have spent 40 years of my<br />
life in this building – but I am<br />
happy to move on. Definitely.”<br />

Penalties imposed over cleaning cartel<br />
A CLEANING company has<br />
been fined $51,000 for engaging<br />
in a cartel.<br />
<strong>The</strong> High Court at<br />
Christchurch imposed the<br />
penalty against Canterbury<br />
Industrial Scrubbing for longstanding<br />
cartel agreements<br />
with one of its competitors, the<br />
Commerce Commission said<br />
this week.<br />
A cartel is where two or<br />
more businesses agree not to<br />
compete with each other by<br />
price fixing, allocating markets<br />
or customers, or restricting the<br />
output or acquisition of goods<br />
and services.<br />
<strong>The</strong> scheme ran virtually<br />
uninterrupted for nearly two<br />
decades.<br />
CI Scrubbing and another<br />
industrial cleaning company<br />
agreed that one business would<br />
only offer industrial scrubbing<br />
services, while the other would<br />
only offer industrial sweeping<br />
services, and the two would not<br />
compete, the NZ Herald reported<br />
When the other company<br />
tried to quit the scheme, CI<br />
Scrubbing director Daniel<br />
Jamieson threatened to target its<br />
customer base to persuade them<br />
to continue.<br />
After the cartel broke down,<br />
some industrial scrubbing and<br />
sweeping services customers<br />
saw an immediate benefit, with<br />

agreements with a competing cleaning company.<br />

prices dropping by up to 30 per<br />
cent in some cases.<br />
Justice Rachel Dunningham<br />
found the long duration<br />
of the scheme was a “clear<br />
aggravating factor” and the use<br />
of commercial threats amounted<br />
to a “serious breach” of the law.<br />
She accepted were it not for the<br />
current financial circumstances<br />
of both the defendants, and<br />
their cooperation with the<br />
commission’s investigation, a<br />
penalty of between $750,000 to<br />
$1.25 million would have been<br />
an appropriate penalty, the<br />
Herald reported.<br />
A penalty could have been<br />
made against Jaimeson for<br />
$50,000 to $70,000.<br />
She imposed a penalty of<br />
$51,000 against the company<br />
and made declarations against<br />
Jamieson.<br />
Commissioner Derek Johnston<br />
said targeting cartel conduct<br />
remained an enduring priority<br />
due to its secretive nature<br />
and the harm it could cause<br />
consumers.<br />
He told the Herald: ”We<br />
welcome the court’s finding that<br />
this conduct was serious and that<br />
much higher penalties would<br />
have been imposed but for the<br />
current financial circumstances<br />
of the defendants.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> case should serve as a<br />
strong reminder to businesses<br />
and their directors about the<br />
law, he said.<br />
“Ignorance of the law is never<br />
an excuse.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> criminalisation of cartel<br />
conduct in 2021 underlines just<br />
how serious and harmful this<br />
offending is.”<br />
Industrial floor cleaning<br />
services are used in commercial<br />
and industrial premises to clean<br />
areas such as warehouses and<br />
carparks.<br />
Industrial sweeping involves<br />
using specialised machines to<br />
remove the dry waste and dust<br />
from floors, which can then<br />
be scrubbed by specialised<br />
industrial machines.<br />
Industrial scrubbing uses<br />
water and chemicals to remove<br />
residues, marks, and stains.<br />
Some customers require<br />
sweeping and scrubbing to<br />
ensure a healthy and safe<br />
working environment. Others<br />
use one or both services<br />
for cosmetic reasons, the<br />
commission said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> commission said cartel<br />
conduct harmed consumers<br />
by preventing businesses from<br />
competing to provide better<br />
quality services at better prices,<br />
and it harmed other businesses<br />
trying to compete fairly.<br />

New office, larger space for mortgage advisers<br />
Mortgage adviser company Loan<br />
Market Agile has opened a new office<br />
in Papanui.<br />
As co-owner Rodney King explains,<br />
“Our previous premises in Ilam had<br />
become too small as our team has<br />
grown.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> new office in Main North Road<br />
has a much larger footprint with<br />
fantastic staff facilities, and meeting<br />
options for customers, along<br />
with carparking at the rear of the<br />
building.”<br />
One of the largest mortgage advisors<br />
in the South Island, Loan Market Agile<br />
organises finance and provides<br />
support for customers ranging from<br />
first-home buyers, to purchasers<br />
Loan Market Agile’s experienced mortgage advisers<br />
Rodney King, left, Nigel Ho and Dallas Roberts are<br />
thrilled with their smart new premises.<br />
of investment and commercial<br />
properties, self-employed customers,<br />
and arranges construction/<br />
development funding.<br />
Loan Market Agile’s three owners<br />
have extensive senior careers within<br />
the finance industry, with the multiaward-winning<br />
team of almost 20<br />
including specialists that can assist<br />
customers with life, health and<br />
income protection insurance options.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y also provide access to leading<br />
KiwiSaver providers to help ensure<br />
customers have a full<br />
plan in place to meet their<br />
future financial goals.<br />
“ KiwiSaver, in particular,<br />
is an area where very<br />
few people have had<br />
professional advice<br />
and have often joined<br />
a provider based on<br />
convenience rather than<br />
performance history and<br />
fees comparisons,” says<br />
Rodney.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re are many thousands<br />
of dollars to be saved or earned<br />
by reviewing this and choosing the<br />
best scheme for your situation. Our<br />
services are free in 99 per cent of<br />
cases, and it is very<br />
satisfying to be<br />
helping Kiwis make<br />
their property and<br />
financial dreams<br />
come true.”<br />
Loan Market Agile<br />
has two offices<br />
– one in Timaru<br />
covering Mid/South<br />
Canterbury with<br />
three staff, and the<br />
new office at 34 Main<br />
North Rd, Papanui.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y also have<br />
advisers available in<br />
Ferrymead,<br />
Upper Riccarton and in the<br />
city.<br />
“Whilst we have customers<br />
spread across the city, and<br />
in fact across New Zealand,<br />
we are excited to be based<br />
in Papanui and look forward<br />
to contributing to the thriving<br />
local community,” Rodney<br />
says.<br />
“Giving back to the<br />
community is important<br />
to us, and recently we<br />
Rodney King, left, Dallas Roberts and Nigel Ho chatting in<br />
the foyer of the new office before heading into a meeting.<br />
completed a day’s work where our<br />
full team worked at Kairos Food<br />
Rescue, which was very rewarding,<br />
and we are looking for opportunities<br />
for the next time we are able to do<br />
this in both Christchurch and Timaru.<br />
“We are also very proud of our<br />
Google reviews – independent<br />
customer feedback, and we have the<br />
highest number of five-star reviews<br />
of any mortgage adviser business in<br />
the South Island at over 500 between<br />
our offices.”<br />

“A local team for local people”<br />
CANTERBURY University’s aerospace<br />
team has won a global rocket competition<br />
for the second year in a row.<br />
<strong>The</strong> team took home the trophy in<br />
the 30,000-ft commercial off-the-shelf<br />
category at the Spaceport America Cup in<br />
New Mexico.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y competed against more than 120<br />
teams from 20 countries, with their singlestage<br />
rocket, Kārearea, soaring to success<br />
under the leadership of fourth-year<br />
mechanical engineering student James<br />
Graham.<br />
Graham was incredibly proud of the accomplishment.<br />
“It was exhilarating to win. Last year we<br />
won but didn’t get the award on the day.<br />
To accept the award at the competition<br />
this year is beyond words.”<br />
Graham is studying a minor in Aerospace<br />
Engineering, and the Spaceport<br />
project contributed to his final year.<br />
UC academic supervisor John Cater and<br />
project client Bruce Robertson accompanied<br />
the nine students to New Mexico.<br />
Graham said it was “awesome” to see<br />
Space minister Judith Collins comment on<br />
their win.<br />
“Ambition like this is exactly what we<br />
need to see more of, and the team’s international<br />
success is great to see,” Minister<br />
Collins said.<br />
As Graham prepares to finish his studies<br />
at UC, he’s looking ahead to a career in the<br />
aerospace industry.<br />
“Now that Spaceport is done, next for<br />
me is finding a job. I hope to end up in the<br />
aerospace industry, and like everyone I<br />
guess, I want to make something that goes<br />
to space.”<br />

‘For a lot of the dogs from pounds<br />
Abbey van der Plas<br />
began rescuing and<br />
rehoming bull dog<br />
breeds 15 years ago.<br />
She tells Sally Blundell<br />
why she does it, and<br />
how she’s changing the<br />
narrative<br />
SAVED: Abbey<br />
van der Plas with<br />
Mocha, one of<br />
the thousands of<br />
dogs she’s rescued<br />
since opening<br />
Christchurch Bull<br />
Breed Rescue 15<br />
years ago.<br />
DIMPLES, MOCHA and big<br />
headed, slobbery-tongued,<br />
muscular Booger – Boogs for<br />
short. Just three of the thousands<br />
of bull breeds – bulldogs, pitbulls,<br />
bull mastiffs, bull terriers,<br />
rottweilers, and, like Boogs, XL<br />
bullies – that have been taken<br />
in by Christchurch Bull Breed<br />
Rescue over the last 15 years.<br />
Behind a six-foot fence on<br />
a corner site in industrial<br />
Woolston, the dogs receive<br />
assessment, medical care, behavioural<br />
training, pats by the<br />
bucket-load and, hopefully, a new<br />
home.<br />
“A lot of pounds around the<br />
country won’t rehome bull breed<br />
dogs but they will send them to a<br />
shelter,” says CBBR founder and<br />
director Abbey van der Plas.<br />
“So for a lot of the dogs we are<br />
taking from pounds, we are literally<br />
their only chance – if they<br />
can’t come to us, they get put<br />
down.”<br />
Some have been bred as fighting<br />
dogs, some have never seen<br />
the outside of a gang house, some<br />
have been tied up for most of<br />
their lives, some abandoned. But<br />
almost all, she says, have been<br />
sentenced by a reputation for being<br />
scary and aggressive.<br />
“At the end of the day they’re<br />
dogs. And there’s no one breed of<br />
dog that is more inherently<br />
dangerous than any other breed<br />
of dog,” she said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> misconceptions around<br />
these dogs are false but false narratives<br />
get pushed and believed.<br />
One of the things we like to<br />
do is educate people and if we<br />
can change a couple of people’s<br />
minds, we’ve won that day.”<br />
She gives Mocha, a Cane Corso<br />
(Italian mastiff), a shoulder rub.<br />
Mocha and her sister Chino were<br />
10-months-old when they were<br />
picked up by CBBR.<br />
‘At the end of the day<br />
they’re dogs. And there’s<br />
no one breed of dog that is<br />
more inherently dangerous<br />
than any other breed of<br />
dog’ – Abbey van der Plas<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y had never left the yard<br />
that they were in and never seen<br />
the world, so everything’s new<br />
for her. She is still a really nervous<br />
girl but the people she knows<br />
and trusts, she is all smooches<br />
and all loves.”<br />
Chino was adopted out a few<br />
weeks ago. “And Mocha, you’re<br />
still looking, aren’t you girl?”<br />
Van der Plas wears her<br />
dog-rescuing story in three<br />
beautifully inked portraits on<br />
her arm.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s Syd, an old<br />
gang dog who had never been<br />
inside a home and was about<br />
to be euthanised. <strong>The</strong>n Linx, a<br />
staffy, and Papa, her current dog<br />
– “I call him my soul dog”.<br />
<strong>The</strong> CBBR was set up 15 years<br />
ago, initially from the van der<br />
Plas home in New Brighton. As<br />
numbers grew, the father of one<br />
of the many volunteers who feed,<br />
walk and train the dogs gave<br />
the charity use of its current site<br />
close to the Heathcote River.<br />
“One of the things I hear all<br />
the time is, it’s all how they’re<br />
raised, but that’s not necessarily<br />
true. We’ve taken dogs that are<br />
eight, nine-years-old, that have<br />
been raised horrifically in horrific<br />
homes and then they have<br />
come to us and had a complete<br />
turnaround and turned into<br />
social, happy, loving dogs.”<br />
Some dogs are too damaged to<br />
be safely rehomed. Each of the<br />
large potted trees in the CBBR<br />
yard is a memorial to a dog that<br />
has had to be euthanised.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re’s probably 15 max –<br />
and we’ve had thousands of<br />
dogs.”<br />
To keep this number low,<br />
CBBR offers education on caring<br />
for bulldogs, runs a community<br />
food bank for dog owners and<br />
supports other charities caring<br />
for dogs.<br />
But it is a hard job, financially<br />
and personally.<br />
“One time a guy posted a<br />
picture of my family online<br />
and said, ‘It’s a beautiful family<br />
you’ve got there, Abbey – it<br />
would be a shame for anything<br />
to happen to them’. My heart was<br />
in my throat.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> police had a warrant out<br />
for his arrest and the man was<br />
subsequently apprehended but<br />
van der Plas was not stopping<br />
there.<br />
“I went to the gang that this<br />
guy was spouting the name of<br />
and said, this guy’s using your<br />
name to threaten me – I’m not<br />
doing anything wrong, I’m just<br />
trying to save dogs. <strong>The</strong> guy<br />
said, ‘hey look, you don’t have to<br />
worry about this guy. He doesn’t<br />
represent us, you’re good’.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> CBBR is on the lookout<br />
for larger premises but in the<br />
meantime, the kennel doors<br />
remain open.<br />

‘I’ve always considered myself<br />
a Canterbury Draught gal’<br />
Lion Breweries has<br />
pulled the pin on<br />
Canterbury Draught.<br />
Denise Garland<br />
reminisces<br />
I DON’T REMEMBER the<br />
last time I drank a Canterbury<br />
Draught. Nor the first time,<br />
come to think of it. But ever since<br />
I’ve been old enough to drink,<br />
I’ve always considered myself a<br />
Canterbury Draught gal.<br />
I did most of my growing up<br />
in Christchurch, where my dad<br />
was the head brewer at Lion’s<br />
Canterbury Brewery. My family<br />
had relocated there when Lion<br />
shut its Hawke’s Bay plant in 1997,<br />
and as I grew old enough, the<br />
sweet, slightly bitter, but mostly<br />
inoffensive flavour of Canterbury<br />
Draught called to me.<br />
I would go to high school<br />
parties armed with a six-pack<br />
of Canterbury Draught, sipping<br />
from the cold black-and-red cans<br />
as my friends downed bottles of<br />
raspberry Vodka<br />
Cruisers and<br />
Smirnoff Ice<br />
RTDs.<br />
“I don’t know<br />
how you can<br />
drink something<br />
so bitter,” they<br />
would remark.<br />
Canterbury<br />
Draught always<br />
had a bit of a<br />
challenge in<br />
trying to remain<br />
a strong presence<br />
in a market<br />
saturated with<br />
beers of the same<br />
style, which<br />
included fellow<br />
Lion brands<br />
Speight’s and Lion<br />
Red, as well as Tui<br />
and DB Draught<br />
from its biggest<br />
competitor, DB.<br />
But CD drinkers were fiercely<br />
loyal. My father told me a<br />
Canterbury University student<br />
once legally changed his name<br />
to “Canterbury Draught” for one<br />
year on the promise of regular<br />
free beer. One of the old stands<br />
at Lancaster Park had its roof<br />
painted in Canterbury Draught<br />
branding, despite DB being the<br />
main sponsor of the Canterbury<br />
men’s rugby team at the time.<br />
And when my dad appeared<br />

Canterbury Draught.<br />
When I visited Christchurch<br />
the following month for my older<br />
brother’s 21st birthday – held at a<br />
function room at the Canterbury<br />
Brewery on St Asaph St, no less – I<br />
shared my conundrum with one<br />
of my dad’s fellow brewers.<br />
“Lion Brown is almost exactly<br />
the same,” I was told. “Just drink<br />
that instead”.<br />
And so I did. And<br />
Castlepoint. And<br />
Southern Draught.<br />
All Lion-brewed<br />
sweet, fizzy, brown<br />
beer that scratched<br />
my Canterbury<br />
Draught itch.<br />
But each time I<br />
returned home to<br />
Christchurch, I’d<br />
reach for a cold<br />
CD out of the<br />
fridge – my old<br />
friend.<br />
A couple of<br />
years later, my<br />
boyfriend brought<br />
a four-pack of a<br />
Belgian beer home<br />
from the New<br />
World where he<br />
worked, that they’d<br />
just got in.<br />
It tasted so different to the beer<br />
I was used to. It had so much<br />
flavour! So much complexity! And<br />
so I began drinking all sorts of<br />
different beer styles; pilsners and<br />
wheat beers at first, then stouts<br />
and porters, even expanding into<br />
sours.<br />
Independent craft breweries<br />
started popping up all over the<br />
place and their beers became<br />
more widely available. My dad<br />
lost his job at Lion and so when<br />
I returned to visit Christchurch,<br />
the fridge was filled with beer<br />
from Matson’s, his new employer,<br />
instead. But even still, when I<br />
spotted Canterbury Draught on<br />
tap at a bar, I’d have to try a glass.<br />
<strong>The</strong> news that Lion has pulled<br />
the pin on its Canterbury<br />
Draught brand, while not all that<br />
surprising perhaps, did come a bit<br />
out of the blue. Lion is too big of<br />
a player and the draught style too<br />

LONG GONE: <strong>The</strong> former Canterbury Draught brewery on St Asaph St.<br />
cemented in New Zealand beer<br />
culture for the growth of craft to<br />
be behind its demise.<br />
Canterbury Draught’s death<br />
probably became a forgone<br />
conclusion when Lion was forced<br />
to close its Christchurch brewery<br />
after it sustained major damage in<br />
the February 2011 earthquake.<br />
While CD continued to<br />
be brewed in Auckland and<br />
Dunedin, the fact the large, red<br />
and black building no longer<br />
loomed large at 36 St Asaph St<br />
with its copper brewing vessels<br />
in the large street-front windows,<br />
would certainly not have helped<br />
the brand’s cause. Having to<br />
compete with the ever-popular<br />
Speight’s for market share would<br />
also have played a part.<br />
Lion’s decision brings to an end<br />
34 years of Canterbury Draught,<br />
the beer that started me on my<br />
journey to becoming a beer lover,<br />
judge and now certified cicerone<br />
(a certified hospitality professional<br />
with expertise in selecting and<br />
serving beer).<br />
While it is a sad moment in<br />
time for this Canterbury Draught<br />
gal, I know all is not lost; I can just<br />
take a cold can of Lion Brown,<br />
close my eyes, and let the beer<br />
transport me way back to all those<br />
Canterbury Draught memories.<br />

Spit site touted as<br />
gateway to space<br />
• By Phil Pennington<br />
KAITORETE SPIT is being considered as<br />
a site for multiple launch pads by a joint<br />
venture.<br />
<strong>The</strong> joint venture running the project<br />
on 1000ha of the spit beside shallow<br />
Lake Ellesmere is gauging demand from<br />
international space companies and asking<br />
them what they need.<br />
International commercial and military<br />
demand has been growing rapidly since<br />
2020 for launches of the small and cheap<br />
type of satellite that Kaitorete is well<br />
suited for.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Tāwhaki National Aerospace Centre<br />
which was set up four years ago, has recently<br />
opened a small runway and hangar<br />
on the spit.<br />
It told RNZ it had “the potential to scale<br />
up the centre, working with the appropriate<br />
partners, to cater for multiple vertical<br />
launch sites”.<br />
“We’ve also been talking to international<br />
companies to understand sector<br />
demand and potential infrastructure<br />
requirements for vertical launch,” chief<br />
executive Linda Falwasser said by email<br />
on Tuesday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> National Space Agency said it had<br />
funded Tāwhaki to investigate and “the<br />
government . . . is expecting a business<br />
case to be finalised later in <strong>2024</strong>”.<br />
<strong>The</strong> spit could fit up to six launchpads, a<br />
report to the government in 2020, released<br />
under the OIA, advised.<br />

AEROSPACE CENTRE<br />
“<strong>The</strong> maximum possible number of<br />
launch pads is six micro-small pads or<br />
three heavy launch pads,” it said.<br />
However, it was more likely to get two<br />
or three pads for launching small or<br />
micro-size rockets under five tonnes each,<br />
depending on how much area was needed<br />
for emergency debris dispersal (up to<br />
15km, though Elon Musk’s SpaceX rockets<br />
use much less).<br />
<strong>The</strong> aim is to get pads that multiple<br />
companies can use, whereas the country’s<br />
only existing launch site, at Māhia in<br />
Hawke’s Bay, is exclusive to Rocket Lab.<br />

RICO PRADHAN looks<br />
set to make his international<br />
age-grade debut at the Oceania<br />
Football Confederation Under-19<br />
Championship.<br />
Pradhan has excelled domestically<br />
this season, and will be<br />
looking to continue that form.<br />
New Zealand opens their OFC<br />
campaign on Saturday against<br />
New Caledonia.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y will then face tournament<br />
hosts Samoa on <strong>July</strong> 9 and Papua<br />
New Guinea on <strong>July</strong> 12.<br />
<strong>The</strong> tournament consists of<br />
two groups of four, with the top<br />
two from each group going into<br />
semifinals, and then the final on<br />
<strong>July</strong> 18.<br />
Pradhan’s potential international<br />
debut comes off the<br />
back of a meteoric rise through<br />
Christchurch United’s youth<br />
ranks.<br />
It is his first season playing<br />
regular senior football, having<br />
mainly been playing under-17s<br />
until now.<br />
“Last year I wouldn’t even get<br />
many minutes for the reserves,”<br />
he said.<br />
However, coaching changes<br />
and injuries to first team players<br />
allowed him to start a few<br />
preseason games.<br />
“I think I impressed them<br />
from there,” Pradhan said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> young defender has<br />
since become a mainstay for<br />
Christchurch United’s first team,<br />
playing in all but one Southern<br />
League game this season.<br />
fast greens,” he said.<br />
Moore said he was excited<br />
about his first trip to Scotland.<br />
“It will be a different<br />
experience being my first time to<br />
that side of the world.<br />
International glory beckons<br />
for Chch Utd’s rising star<br />
<strong>The</strong> transition “was a little bit<br />
nerve wracking, but I think I’m<br />
getting more and more used to<br />
it,” he said.<br />
“I really push myself to find<br />
that level of confidence to play in<br />
this kind of environment.”<br />
Pradhan, who has yet to be<br />
capped for a New Zealand<br />
youth side, recalled the moment<br />
he was told he would get the<br />
opportunity to represent his<br />
nation.<br />
“I was [waiting] at the<br />
orthodontist with my dad; I was<br />
getting my Invisalign.”<br />
Before being called into the<br />
orthodontist’s room, Pradhan<br />
received an email from NZ<br />
Football informing him of his<br />
international selection.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y were so excited to hear<br />
“I hear the weather isn’t always<br />
the greatest but it is going to be<br />
great to watch <strong>The</strong> Open and see<br />
the world’s best do their thing. It<br />
will be an eye opener for what I<br />
want to do in the future.”<br />
the news they “kind of startled<br />
the other people waiting,” he<br />
said.<br />
With all eyes now focused on<br />
championship, expectations on<br />
New Zealand are high.<br />
New Zealand have won five<br />
of the last six championships,<br />
He said he didn’t know much<br />
about the Kilmarnock course<br />
but was looking forward to the<br />
challenge.<br />
“It is a links course by the<br />
ocean and with the likely winds,<br />
it should be a good test.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> only links course I have<br />
played is Paraparaumu and I<br />
enjoyed that.”<br />
Moore said he felt his short<br />
game would be a strength at<br />
Kilmarnock.<br />
“My iron play from 100 to 150<br />
metres is pretty good. I may not<br />
be as long as most off the tee but<br />
I am pretty consistent and keep it<br />
in play most of the time, avoiding<br />
trouble. Round the greens I am<br />
also pretty tidy as well.”<br />
Although the Junior Open is<br />
a prestigious event, Cooper will<br />
still have to carry his own bag.<br />
“Most events of national<br />
importance we have to caddy for<br />
ourselves. In under-19 stuff now<br />
you mostly have to caddy for<br />
yourself, but I enjoy that.”<br />
Moore will be joined at the<br />
event by New Zealand’s female<br />
representative Yoonae Jeong<br />
from Wakatipu Junior Golf Club.<br />
ON THE RISE: Christchurch United defender Rico Pradhan<br />
will make his New Zealand debut at the Oceania Football<br />
Confederation U-19 Championships.<br />
with Fiji winning in 2014 after<br />
New Zealand did not enter the<br />

Custom bat maker<br />
decides to pull<br />
stumps on business<br />
• By Dylan Smits<br />
WHEN CRICKET star Peter<br />
Fulton scored a triple century for<br />
Canterbury in 2003, he used a<br />
Governor bat.<br />
Now, it’s the end of the innings<br />
for the bat’s maker and Governor<br />
founder, Graham Sercombe, as he<br />
retires after 32 years of producing<br />
custom cricket bats.<br />
Fulton’s score of 301 not out,<br />
from 445 balls, against Auckland<br />
was the sixth triple century by a<br />
New Zealander and the first in 50<br />
years at the time.<br />
“It’s cool to see on TV and<br />
that, but I don’t know how much<br />
attention you really get from it,”<br />
Sercombe said.<br />
He crafts bats and other<br />
cricket gear out of his Governors<br />
Bay workshop aiming for a<br />
personalised, quality product<br />
rather than quantity.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 62-year-old is an aircraft<br />
engineer at Air New Zealand<br />
and has also worked in coaching<br />
and administration at various<br />
Christchurch sports clubs.<br />
Now looking to purchase a<br />
home in Christchurch and a<br />
caravan for travelling around the<br />
North Island, he is closing up<br />
shop.<br />
“It felt like the right time and<br />
I’m keeping the netting side<br />
of the business so I’ll still have<br />
connections with people in that<br />
sense.”<br />
Governor bats are made from<br />
high-grade English willow<br />
sourced from J.S. Wright and<br />
Sons, the oldest bat willow<br />
supplier in the world.<br />
“It’s always been a part-time<br />
hobby-business. It’s hard for<br />
me to make a lower level bat<br />
because then you have to produce<br />
numbers. So I’ve mainly hit the<br />
custom-made side of the market.”<br />
He is selling his equipment<br />
to Gavin Cox Furniture in<br />
Sydenham which will start<br />
crafting the bats.<br />
Sercombe has made about 300<br />
bats since starting Governor,<br />
selling mostly in New Zealand<br />
but with some going to American<br />
and European customers.<br />
“It’s people who love cricket<br />
and love having something a bit<br />
special about their bat.”<br />
Sercombe has enjoyed showing<br />
his bat-making process to<br />
customers and several school<br />
groups over the years.<br />
“That’s always been good. Some<br />
people have even just come and<br />
had look without any intentions<br />
of buying, but I knew they were<br />
interested in the process.”<br />

out of his Governors Bay workshop for the past 32 years,<br />
including the bat used by Peter Fulton, right, when scoring<br />
a triple century for Canterbury. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
When crafting a Governor bat,<br />
Sercombe presses the willow so it<br />
bounces balls rather than denting<br />
the bat.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> pressing process is one of<br />
the biggest things about getting<br />
really great quality out of a bat.”<br />
Sercombe’s two sporting<br />
passions are cricket and<br />
badminton.<br />
In his early 20s, he played<br />
for Old Boys Collegians and<br />
for a season in England in the<br />
Middlesex County League.<br />
His favourite part of the<br />
process is when he seals the<br />
sticker on a finished product.<br />
“You can see what you’ve done<br />
when it’s finished and it looks<br />
great. It’s very satisfying.”<br />
He hopes any cricketer who has<br />
used a Governor will celebrate<br />
a legacy of a high-quality,<br />
personalised bats.<br />

Rugby matters<br />
HATS OFF to the new All Blacks<br />
coaching group for allowing a<br />
number of key players to have a<br />
hit out for their clubs prior to the<br />
team naming.<br />
THe likes of Fletcher Newell for<br />
Lincoln Uni, Tamaiti Williams<br />
for Burnside and Sevu Reece for<br />

across the country all managed to<br />

Player welfare is now monitored<br />
more than ever, especially in the<br />
area of head injury assessments,<br />
including compulsory standdowns<br />
which has been a real step<br />
forward.<br />
It has always been a fine line<br />
between getting players field time<br />
(head injuries aside) and what<br />
the specialists agree on. <strong>The</strong> bane<br />
of club coaches has always been<br />
the power the academies and<br />
high performance teams have on<br />
controlling their players’ minutes.<br />
<strong>The</strong> over-cautious approach<br />
at times when a player has come<br />
back from either a light muscle<br />
injury or a tournament where they<br />
are required to rest for weeks after<br />
is frustrating.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are obviously training<br />
longer than club teams and<br />
in some cases having to travel<br />
distances from tournaments as<br />
well, but many times the players<br />
themselves are fit, keen to play,<br />
and want to get on the field.<br />

the year in State of Origin on a<br />
Wednesday and then front for<br />

PLAYER POWER: Blues captain Patrick Tuipulotu’s return from injury to lead his side to<br />
Super Rugby victory shows that sometimes players know more than the experts about<br />
their readiness to play.<br />
PHOTO: GETTY<br />
proved he was capable to play after<br />
a series of fitness tests.<br />
As in Tuipulotu’s case, sometimes<br />
the players just know when<br />
they are going to be right to play.<br />
If he was in pain he didn’t show it.<br />
Many times there have been<br />
players wanting to stay on the<br />
field past their allotted minutes<br />
and contribute to their team,<br />
but have been stopped by overcautious<br />
physios and strength and<br />
conditioning coaches.<br />
Has all this over-care brought<br />
the benefit of reducing the number<br />
of muscle strains?<br />
This year especially, the number<br />
of hamstrings, groin strains and<br />
other soft tissue injuries seem<br />
higher than ever.<br />
A well-respected strength and<br />
conditioning coach told me that<br />
trying to duplicate things such<br />
as speed loading and sprinting at<br />
training is difficult as players need<br />
to be closely monitored to ensure<br />
they are hitting the same speeds<br />
they do in the game.<br />
It is hard for them to push to<br />
those efforts when not in the heat<br />
of battle.<br />
With everything monitored,<br />
from running minutes, speed<br />
tracking, impacts and over-all<br />
loading, one aspect that seems to<br />
be missing is asking the players<br />
themselves.<br />
If they feel up to it and there is<br />
no obvious reason except their<br />
“minutes are to high” then get<br />
them on the grass. <strong>The</strong> only time<br />
it shouldn’t be left to the players is<br />
in the case of head injuries – that’s<br />
a non-negotiable.<br />

Feminist posse takes to<br />

Thursday, <strong>July</strong> 4, <strong>2024</strong><br />
Christchurch’s best read and largest circulating newspaper<br />
THE FEMINIST Clown Posse<br />
is about to be unleashed on<br />
Lyttelton. But those with<br />
coulrophobia need not<br />
worry as these clowns aren’t<br />
scary.<br />
<strong>The</strong> group’s sold-out<br />
show next Wednesday<br />
promises to bring of fits of<br />
giggles to even those with<br />
a phobia of clowns.<br />
Renowned Australian<br />
entertainer Tessa Waters<br />
(pictured left), who now<br />
lives in Lyttelton, coined<br />
the group’s name to be<br />
TEMPLETON took her<br />
first plunge with the Scarborough<br />
Dippers as they raise funds for the<br />
community, and she’s keen to go<br />
back for more.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Heathcote<br />
city councillor<br />
went along on<br />
Monday, and<br />
described the<br />
experience as<br />
exhilarating.<br />
“(It was)<br />
actually much<br />
more fun than I<br />
expected, with<br />
such an amazing group of people<br />
Sara<br />
Templeton<br />
“positively provocative”.<br />
“Clowns are seen<br />
as sort of innocent<br />
and putting it with<br />
feminism, which is<br />
quite a strong idea,<br />
will hopefully either<br />
make people interested<br />
in what we’re doing<br />
or realise it’s not for<br />
them,” she said.<br />
Waters’ clown<br />
troupe is part of the<br />
line-up for LytFest,<br />
starting on Friday.<br />
Festivities will start<br />
with the free opening<br />
dipping and a great cause to fundraise<br />
for.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> annual ‘Wet <strong>July</strong>’ challenge<br />
started this week. All funds raised<br />
will go towards a new defibrillator<br />
at Taylors Mistake and the<br />
Sumner-based mental health<br />
initiative Surf Ora.<br />
Participants are tasked to take<br />
a dip in the sea every morning for<br />
the month of <strong>July</strong>.<br />
Templeton expressed gratitude<br />
for the other participants, as<br />
they helped her navigate the<br />
cold waters.<br />
“I was well distracted by a<br />
couple of regular dippers, who<br />
party at Albion Square<br />
from 5-7pm.<br />
• Turn to page 4<br />
Fall in love<br />
with your favourite<br />
before<br />
reminded me to breath through it<br />
and were really encouraging.”<br />
As winter is in full swing, the<br />
water is expected to be around<br />
9-11 degrees.<br />
