‘DEMAND HAS BEEN UNPRECEDENTED’ 

Covid-19 testing 

stations swamped 

• By Matt Slaughter 

ANOTHER Covid-19 testing 

centre will open in Christchurch 

today to meet huge demand after 

community transmission was 

confirmed in Auckland. 

This comes as Auckland 

returned to alert level 3 after four 

people there tested positive for 

coronavirus. 

Canterbury, 

and the rest of the 

country, moved 

to alert level 2 

yesterday. 

Deborah 

Callahan 

Deborah 

Callahan 

manager of 

Canterbury 

Primary 

Response Group, which is 

responsible for Canterbury testing 

centres, estimated about 1000 

people would have been tested at 

Christchurch’s two community 

centres, and at medical clinics, by 

the end of the day yesterday. 

Long lines of cars could be 

seen queuing for the Whānau 

Ora testing centre on Pages Rd, 

Aranui, yesterday. • Turn to page 2

Similar levels of demand 

were experienced at the other 

Christchurch centre at 401 

Madras St in the central city, 

she said. 

To meet this demand, she 

said another testing centre at 

170 Orchard Rd, Harewood, 

would open today “until 

further notice.” 

Callahan said the number 

of people visiting Canterbury 

testing stations yesterday was 

“unprecedented.” 

She urges people not to 

panic and attempt to see 

their GP or phone Healthline 

first before going to testing 

centres. 

“The demand has been 

unprecedented. I mean, this 

is an exceptional situation 

but we hope people will calm 

down a bit and, actually if 

they are unwell, they should 

be seeing their doctor and, if 

in doubt, then they could be 

tested.” 

She said people lining up 

at Canterbury testing centres 

should expect “a lengthy 

wait” and only people with 

symptoms should go to 

them. 

In spite of being busy 

yesterday, she said testing 

centres are coping and pressure 

will be eased with the 

Orchard Rd centre opening. 

Meanwhile, long lines for

BUSY: The queue at Countdown Eastgate yesterday. 


BUS PASSENGERS are 

being urged to avoid 

travelling at peak times 

following the move to alert 

level 2. 

Environment Canterbury 

senior manager, public 

transport, Stewart Gibbon 

said the regular bus timetables 

will continue to operate 

but the network’s urban service 

capacity will be limited, 

particularly at peak times. 

“We are asking people to 

avoid using public transport 

between 7am and 9am and 

2.30pm and 5.30pm on 

weekdays, where possible,” 

he said. 

However, the Metro 

school bus network will operate 

at full capacity because 

testing centres were also a 

reality in other parts of the 

country yesterday. 

Auckland was one of the 

busiest areas with reports of 

lines stretching for 2km. 

A testing centre in Hamilton 

also reported being 

overwhelmed, and turning 

people away. 

Two of the of four new 

community-transmitted 

cases – a woman in her 20s 

and a child – travelled to 

Rotorua over the weekend 

while she was symptomatic. 

They visited family and some 

tourist locations. 

The ministry is working to 

find out where else she went 

in Rotorua. 

Meanwhile, long queues 

of people lined to get 

into supermarkets in 

Christchurch yesterday. 

Avoiding peak time for bus travel advised 

of schools’ ability to contact 

trace. 

Gibbon said the Bus Interchange 

will remain open, 

with front-door bus boarding. 

Passengers should leave 

via the rear doors, unless 

they need to use the ramp. 

Masks will be available at 

the interchange. 

Passengers need to observe 

social distancing rules 

and sit in bus window seats, 

unless seated next to someone 

they know. They should 

also wear a mask, especially 

when social distancing is 

difficult, and provide contact 

tracing information.

JACQUI TURNBULL was 

waiting in the line to watch the 

Crusaders play the Blues with 

her family last month. 

The next thing she remembers 

is darkness. 

The 55-year-old had collapsed 

after an asthma attack and if it 

wasn’t for three doctors behind 

her in the line, St John paramedics, 

police and security staff, 

Turnbull said she would be dead. 

Said Turnbull: “We had parked 

down on Lyttelton St and I was 

walking quite fast because I 

didn’t want Jack, my little grandson 

to miss out on seeing the 

horses going around.” 

She didn’t have her inhaler 

with her and when she got to the 

gate and her family members 

were getting tickets Turnbull was 

feeling faint and decided to sit on 

a nearby grass verge. 

“That was the last thing I 

remember,” she said. 

St John ambulance staff came 

to her aid and started doing cardiopulmonary 

resuscitation but 

she was not breathing. 

That’s when doctors Tom 

Brown, David Lyons-Ewing and 

Rob Cole who were standing behind 

her, stepped in and inserted 

a tube into Turnbull’s mouth to 

help her start breathing again. 

“The doctors were actually 

ICU doctors, it was so crazy, and 

they just finished their shift to go 

to the game. 

“If they hadn’t have been there, 

I was a goner,” she said. 

The three doctors then left 

Turnbull in the hands of ambulance 

staff.

Said Turnbull: “The ambulance 

apparently worked on me for 20 

minutes or so before they even 

left the stadium.” 

She was transported to the intensive 

care unit at Christchurch 

Hospital. 

Turnbull’s family was told she 

may suffer brain damage, but 

miraculously, she recovered and 

“If they hadn’t have been 

there, I was a goner.” 

– Jacqui Turnbull 

was discharged two days after 

her asthma attack. 

Crusaders staff heard 

Turnbull’s story and invited 

her, her daughter Jess Blomeley 

and Blomeley’s friend Sophie 

Thompson to the team’s training 

on Friday in the leads-up to the 

Highlanders clash, where he met 

with Brown, police and security 

staff who helped her, and coach 

Scott Robertson. 

Said Turnbull: “Tom [Brown] 

the young doctor had actually 

come in to see me when I was in 

the ward, it must have been Monday 

morning, so I had actually 

met him prior to this. But because 

I was so spaced out, just saying 

thank you didn’t even cut it. 

“It was really cool to be able to 

go back there a few weeks later 

and meet up with everybody and 

it was very overwhelming.” 

Meanwhile, Turnbull and her 

family got free tickets to see the 

Crusaders beat the Highlanders 

on Sunday and said she will 

never be caught without her 

inhaler again.

Captain Ben’s ‘icon’ retires after 28 years 

• By Louis Day 

A FISH and chip shop owner 

heralded as an icon amongst 

Canterbury University students is 

retiring after 28 years. 

Thanh Bang Lu, who has 

owned the well known Captain 

Ben’s fish and chip shop around 

the corner from the university 

campus since 1992, told The Star 

he was retiring to get some wellneeded 

rest. 

“I need some rest because my 

neck and back is all sore,” he said. 

Lu said he loved every single 

day he worked at the shop and 

wanted to thank his many loyal 

customers. 

“We see a lot of people who 

used to come here when they 

were students who come 

back and visit the shop and 

say hello. Some people bring 

back children and they tell the 

children this is where they got 

their food when they were at 

university. I am always very 

happy to see them and the next 

generation.” 

University student and frequent 

customer Koby Li said he 

started going to the shop after a 

number of friends recommended 

it. 

“I come here for lunch like 

three or four times a week,” he 

said. 

University of Canterbury 

CHANGE OF HANDS: Former Captain Ben’s owner Thanh 

Bang Lu has retired and is handing over the business to his 

nephew Mark Trinh. 

Student Association student 

executive president Tori McNoe 

described Lu as an “icon.” 

“He has been a pretty big 

icon for students over the years. 

It goes from supporting student 

rugby teams to creating a burger 

for someone in their name who 

was running for president of the 

student exec,” she said. 

Lu will now hand over the 

ownership and management of 

the business to his nephew Mark 

Trinh, someone he described as a 

“tall, young and very experienced 

captain.” 

“I left it to him because he is 

a good chap. He is younger and 

stronger than me.” 

Trinh, who used to run Joyful

Restaurant, said he had found 

managing Captain Ben’s “really 

fun” so far and was amazed by 

the loyalty of some of the customers. 

“Last Sunday, someone from 

Timaru came all the way up 

here for some fish and chips,” 

he said. 

Lu said egg fried rice, fish and 

chips, chicken burgers and potato 

fritters were his most popular 

dishes over his 28 years in charge 

of the store. 

He said the secret to good fish 

and chips was “time to work.” 

He will still be at the shop from 

time to time. 

“If my nephew is stuck and he 

needs help I will go there.”

Man in court after 

gang fight stabbing 

• By Kurt Bayer 

A GANG fight that started in 

a St Martins supermarket car 

park ended with a woman being 

stabbed in the back. 

George Waaka Hadfield, 23, 

was arrested by police after the 

violent flare-up in broad daylight 

on October 16 last year. 

Hadfield appeared in 

the district court yesterday 

afternoon to plead guilty to a 

charge of wounding with intent 

to cause grievous bodily harm. 

He will be sentenced later in 

the year. 

The court heard that Hadfield 

was with his partner at New 

World supermarket on Wilsons 

Rd when a man approached 

Hadfield in an aggressive 

manner, “making comments in 

support of Black Power”. 

They started yelling at each 

other, leading to a brief fight, 

before it broke up. 

A woman and her partner 

started walking away towards 

Wilsons Rd. 

Hadfield followed them and 

more words were exchanged. 

The woman and Hadfield’s 

partner got into another fight 

GUILTY: A 23-year-old pleaded guilty in the district court 

yesterday to wounding a woman in a gang fight that 

started in the New World St Martins car park. 

which ended up on the ground. 

Hadfield then “came in with a 

knife” and stabbed the victim in 

the back between her ribs, also 

slicing her right ear. 

Hadfield and his partner then 

fled in a car. 

The court heard that the 

victim was stabbed in the 

back, between the ninth and 

10th rib, causing hemothorax 

– a collection of blood in the 

space between the chest wall 

and the lung. Hospital staff 

also recorded an internal liver 

laceration “due to the trauma”. 

The wound to her right ear 

needed stitches. 

When police caught up 

with Hadfield, he said he did 

not stab the victim “and that 

it was a Mongrel Mob member 

who had passed him in a 

motor vehicle as he walked home.” 

Judge Tony Zohrab gave 

Hadfield a warning under the 

three strikes law and remanded 

him on electronically-monitored 

bail. A sentencing date is yet to 

be confirmed. – NZ Herald 

• By Barry Clarke 

A MOTORIST more than three 

times over the drink driving limit 

who crashed into a bridge was a 

former Crusaders staff member. 

Last week, The Star revealed 

the driver who struck a bridge at 

Tai Tapu in the early hours of the 

morning was due to hand back 

the company car he was driving. 

Now The Star has learned he 

was part of the the champion 

franchise who had lost his job in 

a restructure days before the 1am, 

July 27 crash. 

He recorded a breath alcohol 

reading of 1068 mcg/l, more 

than three times the legal limit of 

250mcg/l. Miraculously, he was 

uninjured. 

Crusaders chief executive Colin 

Mansbridge said he was limited 

in what he could say as it was 

a private, employment-related 

matter involving a “now former” 

Crusaders employee. 

He would not say if the former 

employee would be liable for the 

vehicle. 

Asked if he was on Crusadersrelated 

business on the weekend 

of the crash, Mansbridge said: 


NEWS 5 

Former Crusaders 

staffer gets boozed, 

crashes franchise car 

“Absolutely not.” 

The Crusader vehicle was written 

off and $6000 damage was 

caused to the bridge. 

It is likely he will face a bill 

for both, as well as a potential 

lengthy suspension from driving. 

Said Mansbridge: “It goes 

without saying that the Crusaders 

do not condone driving under 

the influence, irrespective of 

whether someone is in a company 

vehicle or not. We are unable to 

comment further on the specific 

details relating to this incident.” 

Said Senior Constable Andy 

Williamson who attended 

the crash: “He was incredibly 

remorseful and understood the 

consequences of what he had 

done.” 

The man had been drinking in 

Lincoln after watching a rugby 

match earlier in the day. 

The crash came during a 

Canterbury-wide police crackdown 

on drink driving in July. 

Police tested 14,042 motorists 

during the month. Sixty-seven 

were over the legal limit of 

250mcg/l, 32 of those over the 

second limit of 400mcg/l.

Anti-lockdown conspiracists deface 


MESSAGES written throughout 

the central city suggest the same 

anti-lockdown sentiment that 

has plagued countries overseas is 

alive and well in Christchurch. 

Words in chalk by the Bridge 

of Remembrance state “Unlawful 

lockdown,” “Covid kills your 

rights” and “Covid lies NZ dies.” 

This comes after Auckland 

moved into alert level 3 restrictions 

and the rest of the country 

was placed under alert level 2 

yesterday following four new 

Covid-19 cases of unknown 

origin being discovered in South 

Auckland. 

The city council told The Star it 

was arranging for the messages in 

sensitive sites such as the Bridge 

of Remembrance to be removed 

“as soon as possible.” 

The phrases of defiance to Government 

restrictions in the face of 

a global pandemic written across 

the city draw similarities to the 

rhetoric used by anti-lockdown 

protesters in the United States. 

Demonstrators across the states 

could be seen bearing signs with 

phrases like “plandemic” and 

“defy fascist lockdown” during 

nationwide demonstrations. 

Signs pictured in protests 

across England held messages 

such as “freedom over fear” and 

“I do not consent” which was also 

written outside the Christchurch 

City Council building yesterday. 

Earlier this month, up to 17,000 

people in Berlin also protested 

the Government increasing 

restrictions as cases begin to rise 

in the country.

Negative Covid tests at 

Christchurch rest homes 

THE COVID-19 tests from two 

Christchurch rest homes that went 

into lockdown on Tuesday night 

have come back negative. 

The Canterbury District Health 

Board said all of the test results 

to date have returned negative 

results. 

Brookhaven Retirement Village 

in Woolston and Village Palms 

Retirement Community in Shirley 

went into lockdown on Tuesday. 

Brookhaven reportedly tested 

eight of its residents and put them 

in isolation after they displayed 

flu-like symptoms. 

Village Palms advised family 

members it was in lockdown after 

residents began displaying symptoms 

of a respiratory illness. 

Medical officer of health Dr 

Cheryl Brunton said there are 

many different flu-like respiratory 

illnesses circulating at this time 

of year. 

“These rest homes are to be 

commended for proactively taking 

steps to protect their residents 

and staff. Many residents have 

been swabbed and to date all test 

results have returned negative 

for Covid-19. At this time of year 

there are many different flu-like 

respiratory illnesses circulating 

and we expect this will continue 

into early spring as it does most

years,” Brunton said. 

“When an aged residential care 

facility has a resident or a group 

of residents who are unwell restricting 

visitors and isolating the 

resident/s is the most appropriate 

course of action. This is not new – 

taking a precautionary approach 

and keeping residents separate 

from each other and asking visitors 

to stay away is one of the most 

important actions ARC facilities 

can take to reduce the spread of 

infectious diseases. This protects 

other residents and staff. 

“Isolation is the correct protocol 

for any infectious disease including 

norovirus (a vomiting and 

diarrhoea illness), influenza or other 

respiratory infections – including 

Covid-19, along with increasing the 

level of PPE used by staff, stringent 

attention to hand hygiene, and 

scrupulous cleaning of high touch 

point areas (such as door handles, 

keyboards, phones etc). 

“We have good systems in 

place to support our response 

to outbreaks of any infectious 

diseases. CDHB’s Infection,

Former 

council 

employee 

in court 

• By Devon Bolger 

THE WAY has been cleared for 

a community group to try and 

get back about $18,500 stolen by 

a former council employee they 

trusted. 

Lisa Elaine Larkin, 51, will be 

sentenced in the district court in 

late October after pleading guilty 

to two charges of theft by a person 

in a special relationship and one 

of forgery with intent to obtain a 

benefit. 

Larkin abandoned a legal bid in 

the district court where she had 

intended to dispute the amount it 

was claimed had been stolen from 

Selwyn SeniorNet’s bank account. 

The former Selwyn District 

Council community development 

advisor was convicted in May of 

stealing about $18,500 from the 

Selwyn SeniorNet’s bank account. 

The group says it has affected 

their ability to help the elderly. 

Selwyn SeniorNet chairman 

Terry Pierson said reparations 

would be sought from Larkin 

when she is sentenced on 

October 28. 


A FREE hour of parking trial in 

two central city buildings could 

be extended up until the end of 

November. 

City councillors will decide 

whether or not to extend the 

“first hour free” trial which has 

been running in the council’s 

Lichfield St and Art Gallery parking 

buildings since the start of 

June at their meeting today. 

The trial is set to expire at the 

end of this month but could run 

until the end of November if 

councillors agree to extend it. 

City council staff have recommended 

against the trial continuing. 

This comes as it forecasts a loss 

of $300,000 in revenue from the 

trial by the end of this month. If 

the trial was extended by three 

months it is expected to lose a 

further $300,000 in revenue. 

The trial has also only led to a 

0.05 per cent uptake in parking 

when compared to the same 

period last year. 

Acting Mayor Andrew Turner 

said it was important for the 

council to look at what was value 


‘First hour free’ parking 

could get extension 

FREE TRIAL: The city council’s Lichfield St parking building 

has offered the first hour of parking free since the start of 

June. 


for money. 

“If we are seeing 0.05 per cent 

uplift in the use of our parking 

buildings and at the same time 

we are expending $100,000 a 

month, when you look at the 

cost versus the benefit it becomes 

reasonably easy to see why staff 

have recommended that we don’t 

continue with the one hour of 

free parking,” he said. 

“It may be that there are other 

things that we can do in terms 

of events or other activations 

that would actually be far better 

use of the sort of money that we 

are spending on subsidizing car 

parking.” 

Central City Business Association 

chairwoman Annabel Turley 

said it would be happy to see the 

trial extended, but would have 

prefered two hours of free parking 

as opposed to one. 

The discussion around whether 

or not to extend the “first hour 

free” trial in the council’s two 

parking buildings comes after the 

city council decided to convert a 

third of the parking meters within 

the central city to cashless. 

While the decision to convert 

65 of 196m throughout the city 

has attracted a “small number” of 

complaints, the city council sees 

it as a “sensible” move. 

Users of the cashless machines 

are charged a 50c fee on top of 

what they pay in parking using 

the machine. 

It is also possible to pay via 

the PayMyPark app which also 

charges users an additional fee 

for its use. For example, if an 

individual were to purchase 

$10 worth of parking using the 

app, they would be charged an 

additional fee of 92c, or if they 

purchased $20, the fee would 

be $1.72. 

However, within a short 

distance of cashless machines 

remain ones that still accept cash.

McMaster & Heap 

Veterinary practice 

Macy’s BIG day at Massey Vet School 

- PART ONE 

I’m sure many of you have either met or read about 

the newest member of the McMaster- Heap family 

- Miss Macy, our scrumptious, beautiful glossy black 

18 week old Labrador puppy. Just like half of CHCH, 

we decided to get a puppy in lockdown (or rather 

gentled pressured from our 3 sons who had all 

converged on us begging for one). Lola is nearly 11 

years old, so I felt it a 

good age for her to 

enjoy a playmate and 

teach her prodigy “the 

ways of the vet clinic”. 

Macy has a very 

sound pedigree, 

with her dad a UK 

champion and her 

mum, coincidentally 

called Lola, bred in 

Christchurch. The 

breeder made sure 

the dam and sire 

were hip and elbow 

scored and their 

results were excellent 

(as were generations 

further back). As a 

conscientious breeder, 

apart from selection 

on temperament, you can’t do much more. When we 

visited the litter they all seemed perfect! 

Unfortunately for Macy (and me), she has ended 

up with Elbow Dysplasia, affecting both forelegs 

(Funny that I can’t remember when I last diagnosed a 

puppy with this disease). Apparently it is reasonably 

common in large breed puppies especially Labrador 

retrievers, German Shepherds and Bernese Mountain 

dogs. Most are not diagnosed as young as Macy - the 

“upside” to having parents who are Veterinarians, 

along with free toys, tasty foods and delicious treats 

always on tap!! 

At about 12 weeks of age I noticed a subtle shifting 

foreleg lameness, worse on getting up from rest 

and after boisterous short plays with Lola. She 

was normal with leash walks but pulled away 

when I went to palpate her elbows. The lameness 

progressively became more pronounced so I asked 

Richard Lucy to radiograph all her limbs. I prayed 

she just had panosteitis - pain along the long bones 

associated with rapid 

growth, seen in fast 

growing puppies. 

The day of the surgery 

at Massey University 

Veterinary School 

Macy and her big sister 

Lola holidaying in 

Northland 

Macy’s X-rays ruled out 

panosteitis but there 

was some question mark 

over joint pathology. 

Radiography can’t detect 

subtle changes in the 

cartilage matrix or fissures 

in the coronoid process 

of the ulna. Macy then 

underwent a CT scan 

through Pacific Radiology 

at Lincoln University 

to get a clearer insight 

into her joint health and 

determine her cause of 

lameness. The CT scan 

was read by a Registered 

Veterinary radiologist who 

diagnosed bilateral elbow 

dysplasia. 

The elbow is a very complex joint, comprised of 

3 bones that have to synergistically sit and move 

together perfectly. There are 3 parts that make up 

elbow dysplasia and Macy has 2 of them - OCD 

of the medial humeral condyle and FCP (medial 

fragmented coronoid process of the ulna). Not 

great news for a 16 week old puppy. I did some fast 

research on Elbow Dysplasia, watching webinars and 

sourcing differing opinions from surgeons worldwide 

on the best way to tackle this disease to help slow 

the progression and stop the pain for Macy. I talked 

to our surgeon, Helen Milner, and Andrew Worth (a 

classmate of mine 30 years ago at Vet School), an 

orthopaedic surgeon at Massey University.

phone 338 2534, Fax 339 8624 

e. mcmasterandheap@yahoo.co.nz 

www.mcmasterheap.co.nz 

The best outcome for Macy was for her to undergo 

arthroscopy (keyhole surgery) on both elbows at 

Massey University Veterinary Hospital, to remove 

the coronoid process if it was seen to be fractured 

or fissured and check her cartilage and remove 

any OCD lesion (folding and tearing of the articular 

cartilage due to collapse of the subchondral bone). 

Andrew said he would squeeze Macy in on Monday 

13th July (my birthday!!! So had to be great luck) so 

Steve and I, with Macy and Lola in tow, made a road 

trip to Palmerston North ASAP. The things you do for 

your pets. Helen could also have operated on Macy’s 

elbows via arthrotomy ( which is incising her elbow 

joints to remove cartilage and bone fragments). We 

decided for a puppy so young, keyhole surgery was 

going to be minimally invasive therefore her recovery 

time faster and with magnification into the elbow 

joint, you can appreciate better the health of the 

cartilage and degree of damage. 

Macy was a “superstar” on surgery day. She was 

operated on at 3pm and home with us at 6.30pm. 

She has really never looked back and was walking 

better almost immediately. Andrew thought 

her pain was mainly due to the bilateral OCD 

lesions (loose flaps of cartilage that he incised and 

smoothed out, preparing the way for fibrocartilage 

to be laid down). 

Recovering 

in the Bay of 

Islands 

Macy undergoing CT 

The hardest part now is keeping her out of mischief. 

She just wants to run like a rabbit and for 1 month 

post operatively she is limited to 5-10 minutes on a 

leash daily and then crated or house rested. She’s 

nearly done her month confinement and will be able 

to enjoy longer walks, although no off-leash running 

for a while. My job now is to keep her lean, feed her 

joint supplements including Omega oils and 4 cyte, 

restrict running, jumping down and vigorous play 

and somewhere in there start training her to be as 

well behaved as Lola. 

So far so good. I’ll keep you posted on her recovery.

CHANGES LOOM: The city council could change the speed limit on the 

section of Riccarton Rd in front of the Westfield shopping complex to 

30km/h. 


Fears Riccarton Rd 

speed limit change 

could hurt businesses 


THERE ARE fears a 

proposed speed limit 

overhaul for Riccarton Rd 

could deter shoppers from 

the area and be detrimental 

to businesses. 

The various speed limit 

changes the city council 

is planning to introduce 

into the suburb include 

the section of Riccarton 

Rd between Matipo St and 

Straven Rd, which is home 

to Westfield Riccarton, 

being converted from a 

50km/h zone to a 30km/h 

zone. 

City councillors are set 

to make a decision on the 

matter at their meeting 

today. 

Westfield Riccarton and 

Pak’N Save management 

alongside McDonald’s franchise 

owners are concerned 

the reduced speed limit on 

Riccarton Rd could deter 

Authorised by Timothy Grigg, 160 Willis Street, Wellington. 

shoppers from coming into 

the area. 

They also believe the 

change would lead to 

people thinking it is too 

much of a “hassle” to get to 

these businesses, altering 

their shopping behaviours 

and taking their money 

elsewhere. 

Environment Canterbury 

thinks the plan could slow 

down buses and has suggested 

making the whole 

area 40km/h as opposed to 

30km/h. 

The city council is proposing 

the various speed 

limit changes after a safety 

audit found 30km/h to be 

a more appropriate speed 

limit for the road after undergoing 

extensive works 

which resulted in altered 

road layout. 

It said the decreased 

speed limit would result 

in a reduced 10 per cent 

probability of a fatal or 

serious injury between 

a car and pedestrian or 

cyclist. 

Alongside the proposed 

changes to this section 

of Riccarton Rd, the city 

council is also looking 

to place a 30km/h speed 

limit in the retail areas of 

Rotherham and Division 

Sts. 

The entire lengths of 

Kauri St, Rata St, Rimu St 

and Titoki St could also be 

converted to 30km/h zones 

after previously having 

50km/h speed limits. 

A total of 119 organisations 

and individuals made 

submissions on the 

proposal, with about twothirds 

being in support of 

the plan. 

Key reasons for support 

were for the safety of 

all road users including 

cyclists and pedestrians not 

just cars and other motor 

vehicles.

ELECTION 2020 


High stakes – the cannabis question 

New Zealanders 

heading to polling 

stations in September 

will also be asked 

to vote on whether 

they want cannabis 

legalised. Daisy Hudson 

takes a look at the vote, 

which could have a 

major impact on our 

society 

CANNABIS. Weed. Marijuana. 

Dope. Mary Jane. Pot. Ganja. 

Whatever moniker you know 

it by, the distinctive green leaf 

has blazed a trail through New 

Zealand culture for decades. 

Outlawed in New Zealand 

since 1927, cannabis could this 

year be legalised for recreational 

use if the majority of Kiwis tick 

yes in the September referendum. 

Despite nearly 100 years of 

prohibition, cannabis was not 

significantly policed until the 

1960s. 

The Misuse of Drugs Act came 

into effect in 1975, introducing 

the classifying system that gave 

cannabis its class C grading. 

After years of debate, it took a 

confidence and supply agreement 

between the Labour Party and 

the Greens signed after the 2017 

election to formally put the issue

available in a cannabis store in Seattle. Stores like this may soon be a 

reality in New Zealand.

to a public vote. 

The referendum will be 

non- binding, meaning even 

if the majority of people give 

it the green light, it will not 

automatically become law and 

will still need to go through 

Parliament. 

There is a fair amount riding 

on the outcome. 

While police resources appear 

to have been channelled into 

cracking down on more harmful 

drugs such as methamphetamine 

in recent years, people continue 

to be prosecuted for growing, 

possessing or selling cannabis. 

The maximum penalty for 

possession or use is three months 

jail and/or a fine of up to $500. 

There are major ramifications 

for the health system, which 

shoulders the burden of treatment 

costs. 

And if the majority of people 

vote against legalisation, its 

hard to see another government 

expending political capital to raise 

the issue again anytime soon. 

For those thinking it is still a 

niche issue, think again. 

For a long time, New Zealand 

had one of the highest rates of 

cannabis use per capita in the 

developed world. 

The internationally renowned 

Dunedin Study found about 

80 per cent of New Zealanders 

born in the 1970s reported using 

cannabis at least once. 

University of Otago assistant 

research fellow Geoff Noller 

points out that, given the 

majority of New Zealanders 

continued to try cannabis at 

least once in their lifetime, 

criminalisation had clearly failed 

to curb usage. 

If we’ve got such a high rate of 

use, and we’ve got this law that’s 

been there the whole time, it’s 

pretty easy to see that doesn’t 

work. Legal cannabis use took a 

big step forward when medicinal 

cannabis became legal in April 

this year.

ELECTION 2020 13 

It’s impossible to ignore the impact 

campaigner Helen Kelly had 

on that move before her death 

from lung cancer in 2016. 

Medicinal cannabis companies 

were champing at the bit to start 

production. 

As many countries and states 

around the world have found, 

legalising medicinal cannabis has 

paved the way for recreational 

use to be considered. 

The New Zealand Medical 

Association, which represents 

doctors from a range of specialties, 

came out against legalisation 

last year. 

At the time, chairwoman Kate 

Baddock said that in addition to 

physical harm, cannabis created 

social and psychological harm. 

What we would like to see is 

the Government undertaking 

targeted initiatives to reduce the 

social inequalities that increase 

the risk of harm from drug use 

and meaningful investment 

into education and treatment 

programmes. It also wanted a 

public education campaign to 

demonstrate that soft, or recreational 

drugs, could have serious 

and harmful effects. 

Opponents have described the 

proposed legal cannabis industry 

as the new “big tobacco.” 

Smart Approaches To Marijuana 

NZ argues drug use is both 

a criminal and a health issue. 

A smart arrest policy can 

both provide a societal stamp of 

disapproval and provide an opportunity 

to intervene and stop 

the progression of use, it said. 

The Dunedin Study found the 

majority of people who used 

cannabis did so with little or no 

harm. 

When study participants were 

in their 20s, when use was highest, 

the level of problematic usage 

resulting in cannabis dependence 

diagnosis was about 4-10 per 

cent. 

But it did find the chances of 

experiencing psychotic symptoms 

and/or psychotic disorders 

were elevated, especially if use 

began during adolescence and 

continued into adulthood. 

For example, in the Dunedin 

Study the risk of having 

a psychotic disorder by age 26 

among early onset cannabis users 

roughly doubled compared with 

non-users. Cannabis use could 

also impact brain function, it 

found. 

The largest loss of eight IQ 

points was found among study 

members who began using 

cannabis during adolescence 

and who continued using cannabis 

up to the age of 38. Based 

on the findings, researchers 

recommended that prevention 

and policy-making should concentrate 

on delaying the onset 

of cannabis use until adulthood, 

and that education programmes 

should be used to target adolescents 

with messages about how 

cannabis could affect their brain 

development. 

That is indeed a key component

New Zealand 

legalised 

the use of 

medicinal 

cannabis in 

April, and will

of the Bill that would go before 

Parliament should the referendum 

pass. 

If you’re under 20, you would 

not be able to enter, or work at, 

somewhere cannabis was sold or 

consumed. 

What’s clear in the cannabis 

debate is that the issue is polarising, 

and the referendum result 

could be extremely close. 

A UMR poll commissioned 

by the Helen Clark Foundation 

and released in early July found 

48 per cent of New Zealanders 

would support the proposed Bill, 

and 43 per cent were opposed. 

Whichever way it falls, Kiwis 

wont know the result until 

preliminary details are released 

on October 2. • The facts, page 14 

LEGALISATION AROUND 

THE WORLD 

SEVERAL countries have relaxed 

their cannabis laws in recent years 

with varying results. 

An often-cited example is 

Canada. It legalised recreational 

cannabis use in late 2018 and 

has a suite of regulations in 

place. Like the proposed New 

Zealand law, it features an age 

restriction, although it’s 18 

rather than 20. 

About $186 million in revenue 

was collected in the first fiveand-a-half 

months of legalisation 

in Canada. 

An article in the Journal of 

Psychiatry and Neuroscience 

published in September 2019 

found legalisation had increased 

cannabis use in only one group 

men aged 45-64 years old (9-14 

per cent). 

But it also found a black market 

continued to thrive. 

Legal sellers cannot keep up 

with demand, their product 

costs more than on the street 

and the range of products offered 

is limited. Uruguay, South 

Africa and states in the United 

States have also legalised cannabis 

use, to varying degrees. 

But the prime minister’s chief 

science advisers office points out 

most evidence is too recent to 

draw any conclusions from. 

The limited evidence from 

overseas examples is mixed and 

constantly evolving outcomes 

from early studies appear to be 

both positive and negative.

ELECTION 2020 

• From page 13 

What is in the legislation? 

It has been at the centre of 

hyperbolic rhetoric, political 

back and forths, and ardent 

campaigning on both sides. 

When you go to vote in this 

year’s election, you will be asked 

whether you support it or not. 

But what does the proposed 

Cannabis Legalisation and Control 

Bill actually do? 

In a nutshell, it gives the Government 

a way to control and 

regulate cannabis, by providing 

a model to cover how people 

can legally produce, supply, or 

consume it. 

One of the biggest changes is 

that it would legalise the possession 

and consumption of cannabis 

in certain circumstances. 

It would also allow cannabis to 

be sold from licensed outlets. 

Under the proposed Bill, people 

aged 20 or over could buy up 

to 14 grams of dried cannabis a 

day from licensed outlets, enter 

licensed premises where cannabis 

is sold or consumed, consume 

cannabis on private property or at 

a licensed premises, and grow up 

to two plants with a maximum of 

four plants per household. 

There are also some things the 

Bill does not cover, mainly issues 

already covered by existing laws. 

For example, medicinal cannabis, 

driving under the influence 

of cannabis, or workplace health 

and safety issues, are not covered 

under this Bill. 

While it would significantly 

liberalise New Zealand’s cannabis 

laws, it also comes with some 

regulations. 

As well as the age limit, health 

warnings would be required on 

packaging, and the total amount 

of licensed cannabis for sale 

would be limited, as would the 

potency of it. 

A person must be aged 20 or 

over to enter, or work at, premises 

where cannabis is sold or 

consumed. 

However, a person under 20 

could be employed by a licensed 

cannabis grower or processor. 

Communities would be 


Cannabis referendum: The facts 

consulted about where cannabis 

could be sold or consumed, and 

it could not be imported. 

The Bill also contains a focus 

on health outcomes, rather than 

criminal proceedings. 

A person under 20 found in possession 

of cannabis would receive 

a health-based response such as an 

education session, or they would 

pay a small fee or fine. They would 

not gain a conviction. 

It would not be a free-for- all 

on cannabis products, however. 

Some would be banned, such 

as beverages including cannabis, 

products designed to increase the 

psychoactive or addictive effects 

of cannabis, and products that 

involve ways of consuming cannabis 

that are higher risk, including 

injectables and suppositories. 

Edibles would be restricted 

to baked products that do not 

require refrigeration or heating, 

and must be produced in separate 

premises to those used for 

conventional food production. 

In other words, you are not 

likely to see hash brownies in 

your local fast food outlet or cafe 

any time soon. 

One of the key points is cannabis 

would be taxed and licences 

would be required to sell it, 

providing a new revenue stream 

for the government. 

It is estimated that could bring 

in hundreds of millions of dollars 

each year. 

A levy, similar to that applied 

to alcohol and gambling, would 

also fund services to reduce cannabis 

harm. 

A regulatory authority would 

be established to ensure the rules 

were followed. 

The law would also be reviewed 

after five years. 

As for the referendum, it is 

non-binding. 

That means if more than 50 

per cent of people vote ‘Yes’, the 

incoming government can introduce 

a Bill to Parliament. 

However, if more than 50 per 

cent of people vote ‘No’ in the 

referendum, recreational cannabis 

would remain illegal, and the 

law would be unchanged.

Should cannabis be 

legalised in New Zealand?

Could voters be leaning 

towards ‘yes’ in the 

cannabis referendum 

in September’s General 

Election? 

A poll conducted on The 

Star’s Facebook page last month 

suggest voters are leaning 

towards a ‘Yes’ vote. 

The poll found 67 per cent of 

3000 respondents supported 

the legislation of cannabis, 

with 33 per cent against. This 

equates to 2026 respondents 

being in favour of legalisation 

and 874 being against. 

Comments made on the 

Facebook poll exhibited a range 

of differing perspectives and 

opinions on the matter. 

Jo Margaret said she was 

voting yes, even though she 

doesn’t use cannabis or like it. 

“I want those who do use it 

to be safe, to not be a criminal 

for cannabis use. To not be 

associating with gangs and not 

put themselves at risk,” she said. 

Whereas Judy Ware warned 

against legalisation. 

“How can any observer vote 

yeas [sic]. Drugged drivers 

on our roads us a a [sic] scary 

concept. We have enough 

accidents and deaths now.” 

However, there were people 

like Paul McNeil who had not 

yet come to a final decision.

Seafarers’ welfare ‘grossly underfunded’ 

• By Stu Oldham 

THE MISSION for Seafarers in 

Lyttelton could fold unless the 

Government paves the way for 

consistent funding as the sector 

struggles through the global 

pandemic. 

This emerged as the Banks 

Peninsula Community Board 

prepares to discuss a grant to the 

mission at its next meeting. 

The Ministry of Transport has 

given the national mission a sixmonth, 

$295,000 lifeline to help 

seafarers stuck in 28-day on-ship 

quarantine. 

However, there are fears as to 

what will happen if the funding 

is not continued and the sector 

cannot hire the professional staff 

it needs. 

Many groups rely on funding 

from overseas charities and local 

churches. All are struggling 

to raise their own funds as the 

recession bites. 

Volunteers are also likely to 

be thin on the ground – many 

are in their 70s and many are 

unlikely to return to work postpandemic. 

Mission for Seafarers Lyttelton 

chaplain John McLister said 

his international funder would 

honour the remaining two years 

of his three-year contract. 

After that, “it’ll be over.” 

Without new funding, there 

STANDING FIRM: Mission for Seafarers Lyttelton chaplain 

John McLister says the mission might fold unless shipping 

levies provide for the seafarer welfare sector. 


was a strong chance the seafarer 

welfare sector would struggle to 

survive as it is into the new year, 

he confirmed. 

If this happened, New Zealand 

would fail to meet its obligations 

under the international Maritime 

Labour Convention, he said. 

The convention says technically 

competent people should 

be employed full-time to operate 

seafarers’ welfare facilities and 

services. 

Such services could cost in 

the region of $1 million nationally, 

or about $150,000 per port, 

based on pre-Covid-19 estimates 

put to the Government before 

the response, McLister said. 

A professional service at Lyttelton 

would need two full time 

staff, he said. 

McLister is chairman of the 

Seafarer Welfare Board, which 

wants the cost paid by a levy on 

shipping, as allowed for under 

the convention. 

It suggests $50 for trading 

vessels and $100 for cruise ships 

levied at their first port of call. The 

convention allows voluntary levies 

but previous attempts to raise 

them failed, McLister said. 

The sector relied on charitable 

giving, port company assistance 

and grants from community 

boards and councils – which 

often owned the ports where the 

services are based. 

“But no, when it comes down 

to it, I don’t think we should 

have to go cap in hand to little 

old ladies and be out there cooking 

barbecues to raise money 

when there are companies making 

millions of dollars from the 

people we are here to help.” 

Banks Peninsula Community 

Board member Tyrone Fields said 

the board and the wider community 

supported the mission’s work 

– “it is part of who we are in a port 

town” – but that he was actively 

advocating for the shipping sector 

to pay its way. 

A levy would be fair and would 

A HUMAN Rights at Sea 

report released in March 

says found New Zealand has 

a “broken system of gross 

underfunding” for seafarer 

welfare. 

The United Kingdom-based 

charity says the Government 

has failed to safeguard seafarer 

welfare under the Maritime 

Labour Convention, in spite of 

raising considerable funds from 

maritime levies. 

It says the “responsibility of 

the state has ostensibly been 

outsourced to the maritime 

charitable sector.” 

It recommends the Government 

immediately review how 

seafarer welfare is funded, and 

introduce a levy system or ringfence 

part of the maritime levy 

already in place. 

New Zealand ratified the 

convention in 2016. It came 

into effect in 2017. 

help New Zealand conform to 

the charter it signed in 2016. 

It was also “our manaakitanga 

– doing this helps us show hospitality 

to those who are, after all, 

bringing stuff to us, and taking 

our stuff overseas,” he said. 

Labour Party Peninsula 

candidate Tracey McLellan said 

it was an issue her party was 

looking closely at. 

Specsavers 

launches new 

hearing health 

service in 

Papanui 

ADVERTORIAL 

Hearing loss affects approximately 

76,000 people in Christchurch and, 

according to research, it takes New 

Zealanders on average 7-10 years to 

acknowledge they have hearing loss 

before taking action. At Specsavers, 

we don’t want the community of 

Papanui to wait that long, and that’s 

why we are delighted to announce 

the introduction of a new audiology 

service in-store. Specsavers Audiology 

Papanui is now open to help with any 

hearing concerns, with a qualified 

audiologist Ingrid Wellacott onsite to 

test and care for locals’ hearing health. 

“Once you reach 40 years old, hearing 

checks should be as regular as eye 

checks. When you visit Specsavers 

Papanui, you will be provided with 

quality care and a solution based on 

your lifestyle and budget. We will never 

recommend hearing aids if you don’t 

need them or suggest spending more 

money than you have to. Prices for our 

full range of latest technology hearing 

devices are available online 

or instore so you know exactly 

how much you will pay. Our 

comprehensive hearing assessments 

are the start of your hearing journey 

that we can support along the way 

for years to come,” Ingrid says. 

SIGNS YOU OR SOMEONE YOU 

LOVE MAY BENEFIT FROM A 

HEARING CHECK 

“Hearing loss can be incredibly 

isolating, and our ability to form and 

maintain good social relationships is 

important to life satisfaction and good 

mental health. We are innately social 

creatures after all,” Ingrid says. 

Our research found that two in three 

New Zealanders aged 40 years and 

older know someone who they think 

suffers from hearing loss. It also found 

that 83% say they have felt concerned 

about their own hearing at some point 

in time and of these, the equivalent 

to 300,000 New Zealanders have 

felt concerned about their hearing 

frequently. That’s a lot of 

conversations missed! 

Ingrid says if you or anyone you know 

experiences any of the below tell-tale 

signs, you may benefit from some 

expert qualified advice that begins 

with a free 15-minute* hearing check 

at Specsavers Papanui. 

• Do you have the TV or radio 

turned up louder? 

• Do you find telephone 

conversations hard work or find 

yourself always using the speaker 

option? 

• Do you ask people to repeat things? 

• Do you have difficulty following 

conversations in groups of people 

or find yourself lip reading? 

• Has someone suggested you 

might not be hearing as well 

as you used to? 

HOW TO ENSURE YOU PROTECT 

YOUR HEARING HEALTH 

Ingrid recommends a few simple 

things to help prolong your hearing. 

“Test the noise around you with 

the ‘one metre rule’. If you need to 

raise your voice to talk to someone 

one metre away, the sound level is 

likely to be hazardous to hearing. 

Insist on wearing personal hearing 

protection such as earplugs, earmuffs 

or both remembering that everyday 

equipment, such as lawnmowers and 

power tools may be loud enough to 

negatively impact your hearing. 

And of course, create a routine of 

getting regular hearing checks.”

beach some neighbouring 

residents say is blighted by a 

needless eyesore. 

The city council this week confirmed 

it was investigating options 

for improving the amenity 

value of Clifton Beach but that 

no decision has been made. 

City staff are preparing a 

proposal for Environment 

Canterbury after officials from 

both councils met to discuss the 

future of the beach last week. 

The proposal will include an 

assessment of environmental 

impacts, costs and time frames, 

in response to that meeting, a 

spokesperson confirmed. 

The move is the latest since the 

Redcliffs Residents’ Association 

in August urged the council 

to clean up what it said was 

left after work on the rock 

revetment protecting Main Rd 

and supporting the section of the 

Coastal Pathway. 

The association says rock previously 

buried up to 4m underground 

was insufficiently buried 

when the excavated material was 

returned to the beach. 

Tide and weather have since 

exposed rocks along a stretch of 

beach that has been sandy for 

as long as many residents can 

remember, it says. 

Association secretary Dr Pat 

McIntosh said the wait for a 

plan to remediate the beach was 

“frustrating.” 

“They do not appear to have a 

plan, and I’m afraid we may have 

another summer like this.” 

The association was also frustrated 

by the council’s responses.

Initially, council staff said 

the rocks are naturally occurring 

and would eventually be 

consumed by the sandy beach, 

she said. 

In November, the council acknowledged 

it was an unforeseen 

result of the work but could not 

be tackled during penguin nesting 

season, she said. 

The prospect of further work 

seemed to slow when the council 

said it needed archeological and 

cultural assessments before it 

could start, she said. 

The association understood 

remediation, whether that meant 

scraping or sifting out the rocks

to a reasonable depth, might 

prove costly, she said. 

“But it was their mistake and 

is their responsibility to put 

right.” 

It was the association’s position 

the council had some work to do 

before it met the conditions of 

its consents, and the beach was 

restored, she said. 

The Star sought an interview 

with the council. In a written 

response, a spokesperson said it 

had no non-compliance reports 

from any of the agencies that 

issued its resource consents for 

the project. 

Asked what advice it had as to 

the potential impact of rocks on 

the beach, the spokesperson said 

the “naturally occurring rocks” 

were an unforeseen consequence 

of construction. 

The spokesperson later confirmed 

that meant the council 

had no advice at the time of the 

works, or after. 

Asked about the estimated cost 

of removing the previously subsurface 

rocks, by option considered 

since the issue was identified, 

the spokesperson said “no decision 

has been made yet as to what the 

preferred option may be.” 

That was also the response 

when asked whether the 

remediation time frame has been 

affected by the need for cultural 

and archeological assessments.

Local talent to shine in 2021 buskers festival 

CHRISTCHURCH’S buskers 

festival will have a home-grown 

feel to it next year. 

The Bread and Circus – World 

Buskers Festival is being renamed 

for 2021 as the Bread and Circus 

– Backyard Buskers Festival and 

will feature the best local talent 

festival organisers can find. 

The festival, which is scheduled 

to begin in mid-January, will 

see a focus on busking pitchers, 

iconic Christchurch venues, local 

food and beverage providores, 

and free outdoor entertainment 

to be enjoyed by the whole family. 

“In these challenging times, 

uplifting entertainment and 

exciting shared experiences have 

never been more important,” said 

festival director Scott Maidment. 

“Getting together to have a

has always been at the heart of 

the festival, and we’re already 

hard at work to deliver a stellar 

set of events in 2021.”

OPINION 25 

The scourge of the pokie machines 

From the 

editor’s desk 

Barry Clarke 

POKER MACHINES have been 

in the spotlight this week with 

revelations of how much money 

they are sucking out of the 

economy. 

The New Zealand Institute of 

Economic Research says $445 

million could have been pumped 

into the retail sector in 2018/2019 

if the money hadn’t spent on the 

pokies. 

That would have created jobs 

and kept the economic wheels 

turning. The NZIER analysis 

found the increased retail sales 

would generate an additional 

1127 full-time equivalent jobs 

for 1724 workers, worth $50m in 

wages and salaries. 

The study was commissioned 

by The Salvation Army and 

Problem Gambling Foundation, 

two organisations which see the 

downside of poker machines 

in the form of families unable 

to pay household bills and buy 

groceries, and addiction. 

The study focused on class 4 

poker machines – the ones in 

bars and clubs. Casino pokies 

don’t come under this umbrella. 

New Zealanders spend around 

$900m a year on the pokies. 

There is nothing wrong with 

poker machines if you can afford 

to lose, which is the benchmark 

of all gambling. 

A study I read some years ago 

on pokie machines pinpointed 

people play certain machines 

for the sound they make, a 

deliberate ploy to trigger what 

sound attracts to a particular 

personality. 

The hospitality industry relies 

heavily on poker machines 

for income, which keeps staff 

employed. Many bars would 

go under if it wasn’t for the 

machines. It also points out 

the large amounts of money 

which go to community groups, 

generated by pokie spending. 

Many councils around New 

Zealand have been in the process 

of reducing the number of 

gaming machines by placing 

restrictions on transferring 

gaming licences when a bar 

closes or moves. 

In an ideal world, the pokies 

would disappear in the lower 

socio-economic areas. Like the 

fast food brands, they know they 

have a ready-made market. 

The chance of the jackpot 

with your last $20 is a huge draw 

for many. 

People in the hospitality 

industry tell me benefit day is 

one of their best when it comes 

to poker machine spend. 

But that doesn’t help buy 

food for the kids, which is very 

sad. – barry@starmedia.kiwi

Taxpayers’ Union spokesman 

Louis Houlbrooke said it was 

fair for ratepayers to expect at 

least 40 hours a week from their 

elected representatives. 

“When we say we think that 

councillors in Christchurch 

should provide 40 hours a week 

to achieve value, that does come 

from looking at the salary they 

are paid which is significantly 

larger than some other councils, 

some would not even pay half of 

that or less,” he said. 

“In those cases, you might 

have people who work 20 hours 

or less, but in Christchurch, it 

is a little bit different because 

ratepayers would expect to 

see full time value on what is 

certainly a full-time salary.”

informed, hard-working, 

intelligent and connected to the 

communities in our area and 

wider Christchurch. 

More to the point would 

have been to challenge the 

several councillors whose 

participation in the work of 

council and wider 

Christchurch is negligible. 

I do know councillors who 

work near to the claimed 60 

hours a week (that is a daily 

workload for five days a week 

from 8am in the morning to 7pm 

at night with an hour for lunch, 

year in year out), but they are few 

in number. 

An investigative article by 

one of your journalists on work 

done by councillors would have 

been more worthwhile and 

enlightening and would have 

seen Cr Coker on the front page 

for the right reason. – Karolin 

Potter 

(Potter is chairwoman 

Cashmere-Spreydon 

Community Board) 

I read this with amazement, 

that she thinks working for 30 

hours, per job, (own business as 

well) is excellent. 

We, the ratepayer, pay 

exorbitant salaries for this. No 

wonder the Hoon Hay area 

is dead – algae on footpaths, 

roads and uneven surfaces. She 

promised the cycleways would 

improve our roading. – Dawn 

Martin 

Sensationalist headlines are 

unfair and unbalanced. The Star 

should have talked to Spreydon 

groups before publishing. 

Cr Coker faithfully attends 

Spreydon Neighbourhood 

Network meetings, she 

contributes intelligently for the 

full 90 minutes, explains to us 

council decisions and planning, 

plus offers guidance on how 

we can exercise our democratic 

rights to be listened to by 

councillors 

Her follow up and quick 

response to any issues our 

residents raise is testimony to her 

efficiency. 

Spreydon Neighbourhood 

Network trusts her answer to 

The Star – ‘When I need to put in 

more time I do’ and we suggest 

she does this more often than she 

realises. 

Her work with Spreydon 

Neighbourhood Network 

proves this as does her presence 

at other community activities. 

She uses her time working 

for the city council efficiently. 

This needs to be measured by 

her efforts in completing 

council tasks rather than 

the hours she spends on the 

job. – Denis O’Connor 

(chairperson), Sonya Hodder 

(secretary), Spreydon

Christchurch West Melton Water Zone Committee 

Cashmere Stream gets clean-up cash 

More than $60,000 from Immediate Steps Biodiversity (IMS) funding 

will help keep the water temperature just right for tuna (eel) and 

bullies in Cashmere Stream. 

The Cashmere Stream Care Group has been working with Christchurch 

City Council (CCC), Environment Canterbury, and local landowners 

to preserve water quality and restore Cashmere Streams natural 

character since 2016. 

The funding will go to fencing and planting on the banks to help provide 

soil stabilisation, improve water quality and keep water temperatures 

cooler, for the tuna and other important species that live in the stream. 

CCC has undertaken work to add curves to the stream and 

re-contour banks to make them favourable for native plants 

like kahikatea, kaikōmako, kowhai, and koromiko. 

Members of the public are welcome to view the valuable work 

that has been done to protect the stream for future generations 

and contribute to the next phase of work. Look out for dates and 

locations on Facebook @CashmereStreamCareGroup.

George Bridge (scoring

HOW MARVEL HEALTH 

DELIVERS PREVENTIVE 

MEDICINE 

At Marvel Health, our focus is 

on regenerative and preventive 

healthcare. The whole body scan we 

perform provides our doctors with a 

comprehensive report of a patient’s state 

of health. It reveals hidden diseases and 

their causes and our recommendations, 

are based on the detailed information 

from the scan. 

The scan searches for the underlying 

causes of health problems, whether 

infections caused by viruses and 

bacteria or heavy metal contamination 

such as lead toxicity or food allergies. 

Furthermore, it searches for the causes 

of organ damage such as narrowing of 

the arteries, auto-immune conditions or 

nutrient deficiencies. 

After studying the scan reports, our 

doctors make personalised and targeted 

recommendations. During your 30 

minute tele-consultation with the 

doctor they recommend only the 3 most 

essential compounds that you need to 

kick-start your healing and stop pain and 

discomfort. 


We only recommend science-based 

natural remedies that are supported by 

published medical journals and trialled 

clinical studies. 

The Marvel Health scan is unique 

because it recognises and searches for 

harmful environmental factors that 

promote diseases. It checks the body for 

nutrient levels, environmental toxins, 

harmful electromagnetic influences, food 

sensitivities and predisposition to genetic 

disorders. 

Our Marvel Health doctors assistants 

spend 30 minutes with you exploring in 

detail your lifestyle, nutrition and other 

environmental influences on your health 

and they prepare a detailed report with 

personalised recommendations on the 

steps you need to take to preserve your 

health. 

However, your healthcare continues even 

after consultations with the doctor and 

lifestyle specialist. We follow-up on your 

health and are there to assist you along 

the way until you feel better.

OPINION 


The coming 

August 13, 2005 – 

Death of David Lange. 

Lange was New Zealand’s 

youngest prime minister 

of the 20th-century. 

Renowned for his sharp 

wit and oratory, he led the 

fourth Labour government 

from 1984 until 1989. This 

was a turbulent era, characterised 

by New Zealand’s 

strong anti-nuclear position, 

the implementation 

of ‘Rogernomics’, and other 

radical changes. Lange suffered 

poor health for many 

years, including diabetes 

and heart problems. In 

2002 he was diagnosed 

with a rare and incurable 

blood plasma disorder. By 

July 2005 he was receiving 

dialysis treatment for 

kidney failure. He had his 

lower right leg amputated 

as a result of complications 

from diabetes before dying 

of heart failure on August 

13, aged 63. 

August 14, 2011 – Polar 

blast sweeps the country. 

New Zealand’s heaviest 

snowfall in decades closed 

airports and schools, forced 

the cancellation of buses 

and trains, caused electricity 

blackouts and cut off 

many communities across 

David Lange 

the country. Weather 

watchers described the 

storm as ‘a once in a 

lifetime event’. While the 

South Island was hardest 

hit, with widespread power 

outages and numerous 

school, airport and road 

closures, normally milder 

areas of the North Island 

were also severely affected. 

Power was cut to around 

4000 homes in South 

Taranaki, Whanganui, 

Manawatū and Wairarapa. 

Wellington saw snow down 

to sea level for the first time 

since 1976. Even Auckland’s 

CBD got a dusting 

– for the first time since the 

1930s. 

August 15, 1945 – VJ 

Day. Japan’s surrender 

following the detonation 

of atomic bombs over the 

cities of Hiroshima and 

Nagasaki ended World War 

2. More than 200,000 New 

Zealanders had served during 

six years of war, and 

more than 11,500 had died. 

News of the Japanese 

surrender arrived in New 

Zealand at 11am on August 

15. As with VE Day in 

May, VJ Day events were 

regulated by officialdom. 

Sirens sounded immediately, 

a national ceremony 

was held, and local celebrations 

followed. Once more 

there were parades, bands 

playing, thanksgiving services, 

bonfires, dances and 

community sports meetings, 

and again there was 

a two-day public holiday. 

In Auckland, people began 

to enjoy themselves the 

moment the factory whistle 

sounded, drinking, dancing 

and scattering confetti. 

Then rowdy elements 

began throwing bottles, 

windows were smashed 

and people were hurt. By 

evening, 51 had been taken 

to hospital and an estimated 

15 tons of glass littered 

the streets.

OPINION 29 

week in our history 

August 16, 2008 – Evers- 

Swindell twins defend Olympic 

rowing title at Beijing. While 

Kiwis had high expectations of 

their rowing squad at the Beijing 

Olympics, few expected identical 

twins Caroline and Georgina 

Evers-Swindell to successfully 

defend the double sculls title 

they had won in Athens in 2004. 

No duo had ever won this event 

twice at the Olympics. Television 

viewers watching the final 

cheered as the Evers-Swindells 

launched a withering finishing 

burst, then groaned as they 

apparently just failed to catch 

the German scullers. The British 

were also within centimetres and 

commentator Peter Montgomery 

called the New Zealanders 

in third. By next morning, he 

had re-recorded his commentary 

– the Kiwis had won gold by 

1/100th of a second. New Zealand 

won another four medals 

that day, which was soon dubbed 

‘Super Saturday’. 

August 17, 1942 – One-hundred 

and eighteen New Zealand 

prisoners of war died when 

the Italian transport ship Nino 

Bixio was torpedoed by a British 

submarine in the Mediterranean. 

60 

The ship was hit while 

% 

transporting 

Allied POWs from Libya to 

Italy. Crammed aboard the Nino 

Bixio were almost 3000 POWs 

Caroline and Georgina 

Evers-Swindell 

captured in North Africa, including 

more than 160 New Zealanders. 

In spite of extensive damage, 

the Nino Bixio did not sink. The 

ship was towed by an escorting 

destroyer to Navarino in southern 

Greece, where the dead were 

buried. The Nino Bixio survived 

the war and visited several New 

Zealand ports during its postwar 

career as a freighter. 

August 18, 1971 – Deadline 

for Vietnam pull-out announced. 

Prime Minister Keith Holyoake’s 

statement in Parliament that 

New Zealand’s combat force 

would be withdrawn before the 

end of the year coincided with 

a similar announcement by the 

Australian Government. By the 

end of the year, New Zealand 

combat troops had left their Nui 

Dat base and the services medical 

team had vacated Bong Son. 

The training teams and Saigonbased 

support staff followed in 

December 1972. The last RN- 

ZAF flight out of South Vietnam 

in April 1975 carried the New 

Zealand Ambassador. 

August 19, 2012 – Three New 

Zealand soldiers were killed in 

Afghanistan. A Humvee taking 

a patrol member to see a doctor 

at Romero base in Bamiyan 

province was destroyed by an 

improvised explosive device. 

The soldiers were killed instantly 

– Corporal Luke Tamatea, 31, of 

Kawerau, medic Lance Corporal 

Jacinda Baker, 26, of Christchurch, 

and Private Richard 

Harris, 21, of Pukekohe. Baker, 

a recipient of the Chief of Army 

Commendation, was the first 

New Zealand servicewoman 

killed as a result of enemy action 

since 10 nurses drowned when 

the transport ship Marquette 

was torpedoed in 1915. Tamatea 

and Harris were serving with 

2/1 Battalion while Baker was 

part of the 2nd Health Support 

Battalion. A memorial service 

was held at Burnham Military 

Camp on August 25 before the 

bodies were released to their 

families for individual funerals. 

WITH MORE and more people 

in Christchurch choosing to 

travel by bike, it was excellent to 

learn last week that the 

Government is contributing $125 

million to our major cycleways. 

This money is coming from 

the pot of funding the Government 

set aside for shovel-ready 

infrastructure projects, and it will 

help to stimulate jobs and investment 

in the wake of the Covid-19 

lockdown. 

The funding announcement really 

is a win-win for Christchurch. 

This is not only a boost for 

our local economy. It is also a 

huge boost for our efforts to promote 

active modes of transport 

– cycling in particular. 

When the earthquakes forced 

us to re-imagine the city, the 

community clearly told us that 

one of the things they wanted to 

see was more travel choice and 

safer travel options. 

To meet that desire, city council 

has been working to develop a 

network of major cycleways that 

Acting Mayor 

Andrew Turner 

Funding for cycleways 

a win-win for city 

interconnect and allow people to 

safely cycle where they want to 

go. 

We have been closely monitoring 

cycling numbers in the city 

since we started building these 

major cycleways, and it is great to 

be able to report that in the last 

12 months the number of people 

cycling at the seven locations 

where we monitor numbers has 

increased by almost 20 per cent. 

It is encouraging to see that trip 

numbers for the annual count 

across all of the locations have 

increased 80 per cent since they 

began in 2016. Getting more 

people cycling is one of the keys 

to addressing climate change, 

creating healthier communities 

and reducing congestion on our 

roads. 

By committing $125 million 

towards our cycleways projects, 

the Government has really shown 

its support for our efforts to 

encourage cycling and that is sees 

the value in the investment that 

we are already making.

FAVOURITE PLACES: LAWRENCE 

There’s nothing like local travel tips 

Over the next eight weeks 

we will showcase great 

spots around the South 

Island as we are making 

great strides to see more 

of our own backyards 

through the eyes of locals. 

After all, there is nothing 

like getting travel advice 

from a local. Quentin 

Currall, of Lawrence, 

explains why you should 

visit his home town 

What I love most about 

Lawrence: 

That it’s compact and 

picturesque, but isn’t just a 

tourist place – it’s a ‘‘real’’ town, a 

proper rural service centre. 

What most people don’t 

know about Lawrence: 

That two lions escaped from 

a circus visiting town in 1978. 

They can be viewed today at the 

Otago Museum. 

A great area to stay in is: 

The town itself. Lawrence is 

perfect for exploring the wider 

area as the town has everything 

you need and there are all types 

of places to stay, including selfcontained 

vans at Gabriel’s 

Gully, boutique bed and 

breakfasts, the motor camp and 

motels. 

The best way to start the 

day: 

A walk around the Gabriel’s 

Gully interpretive track, preferably 

with two dogs, followed by 

making an espresso at home using 

Bean Jazzed coffee beans (from 

Lawrence, of course). 

For a great night out: 

Come along to the Scottish 

Country Dance group – per 

head of population we have more 

people dancing in Lawrence than 

in Edinburgh. 

Favourite place/s to eat 

and what you always 

order? 

Choose any of the three cafes 

in town to enjoy a breakfast out 

(I’m a morning person). You 

won’t be disappointed. 

Top experience not to be 

missed: 

The Weatherstons daffodils in 

spring. Hundreds of thousands 

UP THE WALL: Lawrence’s 

picturesque main street 

has many quirky elements 

to discover, like this vintage 

homage to the town’s Clutha 

Gold Cycle Trail. 

PHOTO: JOHN COSGROVE 

JAVA DRIVE: Lawrence has several great options for a relaxed 

cup of coffee and catch-up. PHOTO: JOHN COSGROVE 

of daffodils at the site of an old 

brewery. 

Top place to walk is: 

The Town Domain – the 

wooded hillside overlooking the 

main street. The initial trees were 

planted on Arbor Day in 1892. 

It is a wonderful piece of mixed 

woodland. 

Every time of year has its 

special attractions – in autumn 

there are long drifts of different 

coloured leaves on the paths 

so you can tell when you are 

moving from areas of birch to 

beech to oak to chestnut to ash. 

The cool shade in summer 

is very relaxing after a hot day. 

The varied greens bursting out 

Lawrence 

in spring lift the spirits and, in 

winter. I love the patterns of the 

bare branches and the clear views 

through the trees. 

Experience you’ve always 

wanted to give a go but 

never got round to: 

I’ve often thought about 

entering my unmodified 24-yearold 

Toyota Hilux (407,000km) 

in the Lawrence Quarter-Mile 

Sprint. I’d probably be finished 

by tea-time. 

Best kept secret: 

You’ll just have to come to 

Lawrence and find out for 

yourself.

WINE 

EXPECTATIONS are a funny 

thing. 

Naturally, I try to avoid them 

when I’m tasting, as they could 

cloud one’s judgement and 

impartiality. 

I know the identity of the wines 

in a tasting, but they are always 

masked and in random order: this 

is dubbed “single blind tasting”. 

My regular tasting duo 

of Collins and McLaren are 

informed of the wine style and 

vintage spread, but know neither 

the identities nor order in which 

they are served: this is “double 

blind tasting”. 

The average price of today’s 

wines created an expectation of 

class, which was borne out in the 

glass.

Rating: Excellent 

A nose of intrigue, balsamic/ 

umami influences shift to 

perfume and dusty stones, 

raspberry with time. 

Richly fruited entry, 

loganberry, mixed berries, 

cinnamon and spices lead, 

evolving to savoury notes 

and fresh, sour cherry on the 

long close. Weight but no 

excess, growing in richness 

and integration, adding earthy 

touches. Lots of interest.

2018 Chard Farm Viper 

Vineyard Central Otago 

Pinot Noir 

Price: $81 

Rating: Excellent 

Subtle yet attractively 

expressed nose of berryfruit, 

rhubarb, perfume and savoury 

notes, kid leather perhaps. 

Somewhat enigmatic, starting 

subtly, spices and wisps of 

balsamic giving way to sweet 

fruit as this blossoms in the glass, 

showing deceptive power and 

structure. Crisp acidity keeps 

this lively with a lifted, tart note 

on the long finish.

Verismo Central Otago 

Pinot Noir 

Price: $75 

Rating: Very good to excellent 

Notably fragrant nose with 

additions of stewed fruits, 

balsamic notes, anise and dusty 

stones. 

A boldness to the palate, 

leading with spice and savoury 

notes, a little tilled earth, 

mushroom and forest floor/ 

funkiness building with aeration. 

Already round and supple, 

this bottle-aged release can be 

enjoyed now.

FOOD 33 

Hashing up a breakfast of champions 

Corned beef/silverside 

isn’t everyone’s cup 

of tea and it’s often 

a textural thing. But 

leftover corned beef 

makes for an amazing 

fry-up the next day, 

which crisps it up nicely. 

In fact, forget leftovers, 

these recipes are worth 

cooking corned beef for 

by themselves 

Corned beef hash 

8 servings 

Ingredients 

3 tbsp butter 

3 cups potatoes, diced 

1 cup red capsicum, chopped 

½ cup onion, chopped 

500g corned beef, cooked/cubed 

1 tbsp Italian seasoning 

4 eggs 

¼ tsp salt (optional, as corned 

beef is already salty) 

¼ tsp pepper 

Pinch chilli flakes (optional) 

Directions 

Preheat oven to 200 deg C. 

In a medium sized oven-proof 

skillet, melt butter then add diced 

potatoes. Cook 5-7min, until the 

potatoes are tender and slightly 

crispy. Add capsicum and onions, 

and cook 4-6min until tender. 

Add the corned beef and cook 

until warmed and slightly brown. 

Crack the eggs on top of the 

hash. Place the skillet in the oven 

and bake for 8-10min until eggs 

are set. Season with salt, pepper 

and pinch of chilli flakes. 

Corned beef hash 

breakfast cakes 

10 servings 

Ingredients 

1.2kg Desiree potatoes, whole, 

unpeeled 

350g corned beef, roughly 

chopped 

2 tbsp wholegrain mustard 

¼ cup finely chopped chives 

2 eggs, lightly beaten 

1 cup plain flour 

2 tbsp olive oil 

1 tbsp butter, melted 

Fruit chutney, to serve 

Directions 

Boil potatoes for 25-30min or 

until tender. Drain. Cool for 10min. 

Roughly smash potatoes (so that 

they are still chunky). Set aside for 

30min to cool completely. 

Add beef, mustard, chives, eggs, 

and salt and pepper to potato. 

Stir until combined. Place flour 

into a separate bowl. Using ¼ 

cupful of mixture at a time, shape 

potato mixture into 8cm patties. 

Refrigerate for 2hr or until firm. 

Lightly coat patties in flour. 

Preheat a non-stick pan over 

medium heat. Combine oil and 

butter in pan. When sizzling, add 

patties. Cook for 3-4min each side 

or until golden. Serve with chutney.

GARDENING 35 

Don’t put the gumboots away just yet 

IT’S THAT time of the year when 

gardeners are yearning for spring 

– and it’s just around the corner. 

In many areas, it’s still very cold 

and soils are wet so you may need 

to don the gumboots before you 

head out to the back yard. 

August is an excellent time for 

planning your new season garden 

and completing your planting of 

deciduous ornamental and fruit 

trees. 

Continue to harvest winter 

maturing vegetables and 

where the soil is friable (easily 

crumbled) and not too wet, sow 

seeds of beetroot, carrots, onions, 

peas, radish and spinach. 

Continue to cultivate soil in 

preparation for early spring 

planting by chopping up and 

digging in any green manure 

crops. This will significantly 

improve the organic content of 

the soil. If you haven’t grown any 

green manure crops, then add 

in compost and mix well with 

existing soil. 

If possible, try and raise the 

planting areas to 100-120mm 

above the existing ground level. 

Drainage will be improved and 

soils will warmer quicker in 

spring if you do this. 

Winter flowering annuals will 

be at their best and late flowering 

annuals such as cineraria are now 

beginning to bloom. Continue 

last plantings of alyssum, 

calendulas, cornflower, larkspur, 

lobelia, pansy, snapdragon, 

stock, violas and wallflowers. 

These flowering annuals are also 

perfect for growing in containers 

and provide instant colour in 

the garden. Start preparing your 

summer flower beds as they can 

be planted out towards the end of 

next month. 

It’s cropping time for 

many citrus; late mandarins 

(clementine), lemons, navel 

oranges, grapefruit and limes. 

While seminole tangelos look 

very attractive on trees, you will 

need to be patient as they won’t 

be sweet enough for eating until 

October/November. 

Give pip and stone fruit trees 

a spray of copper oxychloride so 

they start the new growing season 

in a healthy state. Complete 

pruning of kiwifruit as they will 

commence growing next month. 

Feijoas should be pruned 

to “thin cut” their typical 

dense branch growth. This 

enables better light penetration 

throughout the bush and 

ultimately increased fruit 

production next season. Young 

strawberry plants will be in active 

growth already. 

Pinch out any flowers that may 

appear as plants will not form 

healthy berries until well into 

spring. Apply copper oxychloride 

Red sorrel for salads 

RED SORREL is a wonderful 

salad green and vegetable. 

The bright green leaves with 

contrasting dark maroon stems 

and veins add colour and taste 

to salad mix or micro mix 

blends. 

It has the same sharp, tangy 

flavour as regular sorrel. 

This red rascal adds flavour 

and depth to salads dishes, in 

sandwiches or even as a pizza 

topping to give an interesting 

combination of flavour. 

Used either on its own with 

balsamic and parmesan, or 

blended with other leafy greens, 

it’s a must for any vegetable garden. 

Red sorrel must surely be 

related to the common French 

sorrel which can quickly become 

weed-like. 

When, where and how to 

plant 

Sow seeds in spring in trays or 

directly into the garden. 

This plant does readily seed, 

so once you plant it you will 

never need to buy seed again. 

It prefers a moist well-worked 

soil in full sun. It is hardy to 

frost, snow and wind. 

TASTE: Red sorrel is not to 

be confused with french 

sorrel that come become 

weed-like. 

MAINTENANCE: 

It’s time to 

sharpen the 

blades of your 

mower so that 

your lawn gets 

an even cut. 

Do the last of 

your pruning, 

especially roses. 

to help maintain plants in a 

healthy state. 

Complete the pruning of rose 

varieties that were very late 

dropping their leaves. While 

plants are dormant, apply a 

copper oxychloride and/or 

horticultural oil spray to ‘clean 

up’ any overwintering pests or 

diseases. The addition of fresh 

compost around existing plants 

will greatly benefit early spring 

growth. 

In most parts of New Zealand 

there is little grass growth in 

August. However, it is not too 

far away. Get your mower blades 

sharpened and identify any 

problem areas in the lawn to be 

rectified in spring/early summer. 

In wet shady areas, there is often 

significant moss growth which 

will usually disappear over the 

hot dry summer months. 

However, you may want to over 

sow these areas with fresh law 

seed from October onwards. 

SPRING IS JUST around the 

corner and when it arrives 

asparagus will send you the 

signal. 

If you are going to grow your 

own asparagus you need to know 

it’s a long-term crop. 

In the first two years you won’t 

get many spears. It’s not until 

year three that you will get a 

Continue to plant out 

ornamental shrubs and trees. 

Site preparation is critical to the 

success of these plantings so avoid 

areas that are exceptionally wet, 

unless you are planting specimens 

that specifically grow in these 

conditions. 

Add compost to all planting 

sites and cultivate soil thoroughly 

before planting. Allow enough 

space between new trees and 

shrubs for full development. Be 

guided by local plantings in parks, 

friends and neighbours gardens 

when considering what to plant. 

Weather dependant, August 

can be an outstanding month 

for bulbs in the home garden. 

daffodils, hyacinths, jonquil, 

lachenalia and muscari, should be 

either in bloom or not far away. 

A good trick is to mark the best 

performing varieties with small 

bamboo stakes as you may wish 

to lift and divide those once bulbs 

are dormant. 

Give asparagus time 

Plant one or two-year-old 

crowns in early spring. 

Soak the crowns in warm water 

for about an hour before planting. 

Dig a trench about 30cm long 

by 30cm deep with a raised ridge 

in the centre. 

Place the new plants on the 

Gardenmakers Star ridge, Aug spreading 13 the roots evenly 

Alana bountiful crop. Karl down 9x4 the ridge. 

When, where and how to Cover the crowns with 5cm of 

AP33436-V2 

plant 

Choose a sunny spot with a 

light, free-draining moisture 

retentive soil. Raised beds will 

improve drainage. 

Add well-rotted compost and/ 

or manure and dig into the soil. 

Plant in rows 15 to 20cm apart, 

in raised beds and containers you 

can plant in blocks. 

soil and keep covering with soil 

until the trench is overflowing 

with soil. Keep soil moist and 

sprinkle complete plant food over 

the bed once during late spring. 

Don’t cut any spears in the first 

year, and when growth begins to 

yellow off in autumn, cut plants 

to the ground and mulch the bed 

with rotted manure.

Summerfield 

takes new car to 

Catlins victory 

• By John Cosgrove 

A SPIN in the first stage and 

encountering slippery roads at 

times did little to hamper the 

speed of Christchurch driver 

Matt Summerfield. 

He won the 20th Catlins Coast 

Rally title on Saturday at Owaka, 

winning by just under 40sec 

from Andrew Graves, of Gore. 

Summerfield’s crew changed 

the settings of 

his car early 

in the day and 

that led to him 

getting in front 

and not being 

headed. 

Matt 

Summerfield 

“It was an 

excellent day 

overall. It 

started off a 

bit interesting when we had a 

really big spin in the opening 

stage [Puaho] so we had to tone it 

down and chip away at Andrew 

Graves’ lead,” he said. 

Trailing back in third spot 

overall, 10sec behind Graves and 

Waikuku driver Robbie Stokes 

(Ford Fiesta AP4) at the end of 

the first stage, Summerfield put 

his head down and started chipping 

away at the lead. 

By the end of stage two, the 

26km-long Catlins Valley run, 

Summerfield had passed the 

faltering Stokes, whose car had 

suffered an oil leak and he had 

retired, and pared back Graves’ 

lead to just 8.7sec. 

At the first service break at 

Owaka after stage two, Summerfield’s 

team quickly changed 

some of the settings in the car 

and he started to make good 

gains from then on. 

Summerfield finished the next 

stage, the long 37km McNabs

Farm stage, 14.7sec up on Graves. 

While admitting he tweaked 

his speed back a little bit for the 

next three stages, Summerfield 

still managed to increase his lead 

to 46sec by the end of the 24kmlong 

Tawanui stage four and took 

it out to 52sec on the short 15kmlong 

Cannibal Bay stage five. 

Graves pulled 20sec back on 

the final 36km-long Romahapa 

stage as Summerfield looked to 

maintain his lead and bag the 

win. He won by 38.8sec. 

“They have stunning roads to 

rally on down here. The competition 

today was very strong. I 

know Andrew has won it quite 

a few times before so I knew he 

would be fast, he showed that in 

the first stage, so Jared [Christofferson, 

Summerfield’s co-driver] 

and I knew we would have to 

push him hard. It was good to get 

one over him.”

faultlessly. 

“We only got it at the start of 

the year. It was already made up 

so we didn’t have to do much to 

prepare it for the Catlins. 

“It’s a bit odd. We have never 

had such a big break during the 

season. It is pretty exciting today 

as the Catlins was my first big 

rally of the year. It is a nice rally 

to do and the Cannibal Bay stage

Graves was trying to make up

Vibrant Veloster joins long line of coupes 

I KNOW LIFE often means 

disappointments but it will take 

me a bit of time to get over missing 

out on a drive of Hyundai’s new i30 

N fastback – a high-performance 

car based around its hot-hatch 

stablemate. 

See, the turbocharged 2-litre 

manual was a casualty of the 

coronavirus level 4 lockdown, I was 

due to have it within that period 

but it has since been seconded to 

duties in other parts of the country. 

That aside, the other Hyundai 

models I was scheduled into have 

arrived, and a week with the latest 

generation Hyundai Veloster 

almost made up for not stepping 

into the i30 N. 

The Veloster has been around 

since 2012, and has just undergone 

a major transformation. Saying 

that, the one element that makes 

the Veloster standout from the 

crowd hasn’t been changed. What 

appears to be a traditional twodoor 

coupe is actually a three-door. 

Yes, there are two doors on the 

passenger side and just one on the 

driver’s side. 

The concept was first introduced 

with safety in mind, the rationale 

being that when children are seated 

in the rear they can only exit from 

the footpath side of the vehicle, 

egress to the road is denied. Bear in 

mind, too, that the Veloster is only 

a four-seater. 

Some might say the design of 

the Veloster is outlandish, I’d say 

it is bold yet trendy, it is fresh and 

with an aggressive body and with 

vivid colours to choose from, 

the Veloster certainly makes a 

statement. The evaluation car was 

finished in a matte gun metal grey, 

it drew a lot of attention during the 

time it was in my care. 

The Veloster arrives with two 

engine options – a 2-litre naturally 

aspirated unit that develops 

110kW. Or else there is a 1.6-litre 

turbocharged option – the 150kW 

engine that powers several other 

Hyundai and Kia models. 

The evaluation car was the 

latter, and it is an engine I’m quite 

familiar with, it is no outright 

powerhouse like the engine in the 

i30 N, but it is a feisty little unit and 

stands out for its honesty and fussfree 

behaviour. Although it must 

be said there is genuine exhaust 

sound, there’s a constant throb 

under load and an enticing crackle 

between gears. 

When the Veloster first 

appeared, it was Hyundai’s first 

full-production vehicle with a 

dual clutch gearbox; that type of 

transmission is still used, although 

it now gets seven gears that can 

be manipulated through steering 

wheel-mounted paddle shifters. 

In terms of driving, DCT units 

can be treated much like a normal 

STYLISH: The Hyundai Veloster is characterised by a short, 

squat rear quarter. 

HYUNDAI VELOSTER: Bold wheels add to its aggressive looks. 

automatic transmission, the big 

difference is that in itself it works 

like a manual but without a manual 

clutch and, of course, there’s no 

power-robbing characteristics 

of traditional torque converter 

system. 

The result is a quick shifting unit 

that doesn’t load the engine, power 

is clean, and with a strong torque 

figure (265Nm) and available low, 

and all of the way between 1500 

to 4500rpm, the Veloster turbo is 

a quick-reacting car which is no 

slouch against the stopwatch. 

It will lunge to 100km/h in 

7.5sec, which will satisfy those 

who are happy with moderate 

performance, but for me the 

big surprise is the mid-speed 

performance, it will scorch through 

a highway overtake (80-120km/h) 

in 4.2sec, made possible through 

solid turbo boost and quickshifting 

ratios which are ideal 

for the wide cross-section of our 

driving styles and journeys. 

On the subject of figures, 

the Veloster turbo is rated by 

Hyundai with a 7.1-litre per 

100km combined cycle fuel usage 

average. At 100km/h I recorded an 

instantaneous readout of 5l/100km 

with the engine working over freely 

at 2000rpm. 

I guess if you explore the 

turbo boost frequently it will be 

hard to match Hyundai’s claim, 

• Price – Hyundai Veloster, 

$52,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4250mm; width, 

1800mm; height, 1409mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

front-wheeldrive, 

1591cc, 150kW, 

265Nm, seven-speed dual 

clutch automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 7.5sec 

• Fuel usage – 7.1l/100km 

and with just a 50-litre fuel tank 

you need to be mindful fill-ups 

may come around quicker than 

expected. 

Nevertheless, I enjoyed the 

power and strength of that wee 

engine, it is delightful and provides 

the fun factor when you feel the 

need for a quick burst, taking into 

account that several drive modes 

allow the driver to choose how the 

car behaves, from economical to 

sport. 

In terms of handling, the 

Veloster feels sharp up front with 

definite turn-in. Sport specification 

Michelin tyres (225/40 x 18in) 

have high-grip properties and 

combined with a fully independent 

suspension the car feels well 

attached to the road. 

Ride quality isn’t jeopardised by 

a definite firming of the dampers 

and springs and at just 1.4m tall 

gravitational movement in a corner 

needn’t be considered. 

The Veloster turbo is only 

available in one fully-specced 

level – Limited. It is loaded with 

goodies such as full leather, heated 

and cooled seats, heated steering 

wheel, head-up display, satellite 

navigation, keyless entry and 

ignition, and all the other bells and 

whistles that make up Hyundai’s 

top level trim spec. It also gets a full 

safety suite of technologies. 

Hyundai has had a long 

history of producing two-door 

coupes, even though you could 

argue the Veloster is essentially a 

three-door. When I first started 

writing about cars in 1988, one of 

the first I drove was the Scoupe, 

Hyundai’s first sporty car, that 

transformed into what Hyundai 

called simply Coupe around 1996, 

the Tiburon followed, then in 2012 

the Veloster first landed in New 

Zealand. 

That history has served 

Hyundai well, the Veloster is a 

beautifully-made car and one 

which is both fun and exciting. It 

dares to be different with its styling, 

but that is part of its appeal, if 

you are wanting to stand out in a 

crowd, at $52,990 ($45,990 nonturbo), 

it’s a relatively affordable 

way to make a statement.

EvEry Thursday 

If you have just bought your 

first home or already own a 

property, then the answer to 

this is yes. 

Purchasing a home is one 

of the biggest investments you 

may make during your lifetime. 

It is, therefore, necessary 

to decide who will be the 

benefactor/s of your property 

and belongings should you 

suddenly pass away. To do this, 

you need to create a will. A will 

states who receives what in the 

event of your death. 

According to the Public Trust, over 

50% of New Zealanders do not have a 

will. Young people, aged from 25 to 39 

years, who are financially independent, 

feature highly in this area, and yet they 

are a group more likely to indulge in 

adventurous holidays and take part 

in risky extreme sports. Accumulated 

assets of this age group might include 

a bike, car, TV, house, and furniture, 

along with a vast range of electronic and 

digital gear. 

With the arrival of a family, having a 

will in place is even more essential and 

yet, according to the survey taken in 

2014, only 30% of 25-40 year-olds, with 

children, have a will in place. 

A will not only legally takes care of 

the property, and the monetary side 

of things but can also state who will 

take care of children in the event of an 

untimely death. 

What happens if there is no will 

The lack of a will can create problems 

over who will benefit from the estate - 

this is especially important if there are 

children, de facto relationships, children 

from previous relationships, family 

members with addictions, or where a 

business is involved. 

Where there is no will, the estate goes 

into ‘intestacy’, which means a court 

will appoint an administrator, who 

does the same job as an executor, to 

manage the estate. The administrator 

has the authority to act on behalf of the 

deceased and applies to the High Court 

for letters of administration (power to 

administrate the estate).

CHECKLIST FOR 

SELLING YOUR HOME 

MAKE SMALL FIXES 

Inspect your home with a buyer’s eyes, and correct 

the flaws that are most egregious (if affordable) or can 

be relatively easily fixed—from repairing cracks in the 

walkways to repainting dingy walls or oiling creaky 

hinges. 

SET A PRICE 

A real estate agent will give you a market analysis free 

of charge or commitment. 

Ask a few to get a broader picture of the market, then 

ask to see listings for properties similar to yours that 

have sold in the past six months. 

Check out comparable listings yourself in the real 

estate section of your newspaper or on websites. 

Then decide whether you want a quick, easy sale or 

the highest possible price. 

CLEAN & DECLUTTER 

Weed out excess furniture, knicknacks, and “stuff”— 

toss it, donate it, give it away, sell it at a yard sale, 

or put it into storage—so the house seems more 

spacious and buyers can imagine themselves in it. 

STAY VIGILIANT ABOUT MAINTENANCE 

From the moment you start showing your house, keep 

the lawn mowed, shrubs trimmed, gardens weeded, 

rooms spotless and clutter-free. 

READY YOUR HOME FOR OPEN DAYS 

Hide pocketable valuables, display fresh flowers or 

bowls of fruit, bake a batch of cookies for the homey 

smell, open the drapes, keep pets out of sight. 

DECIDE WHETHER TO DO YOUR OWN BUILDING 

INSPECTION 

It may save you time, especially with older homes, 

to identify—and potentially solve—problems your 

buyer’s inspection will discover later. 

Homeownership: 

should you make a will? 

The Administration Act 1969 provides 

a code to be followed that ensures 

the estate is administered in order of 

priority. (Check out Wills at www. 

communitylaw.org.nz) 

Save time and money 

Before meeting with your lawyer, and 

to help save time and money, decide 

in advance how you want to distribute 

your will – determine who will receive 

what. 

You can also create a DIY will online, 

but if the distribution of your property 

is complicated, you may need to contact 

a lawyer for additional help. 

For your will to be valid and legally 

binding it must be signed in front of two 

witnesses, who also must sign it. The 

witnesses are not in any way responsible 

for what is in the will or its execution. 

Four steps to creating a will 

1. Nominate an executor – the person 

who will manage the distribution of 

your property. 

2. Choose how you want to be buried 

or cremated, and how you want your 

funeral to be held, i.e. small and private, 

at a church, or in a garden. Make sure 

family or friends know in advance what 

you want to happen, as the reading of 

the will may not be before the funeral. 

3. Appoint a guardian/s for your 

children (if under 18) and your pets. 

Discuss this with prospective guardians, 

so they are prepared and understand 

their responsibility. 

4. Decide who will receive what and 

how much; this may include money, 

property, and personal belongings, as 

well as selected charities.

Greater Christchurch 

Regeneration Act 2016 

Outline for amendments 

to the Christchurch 

Central Recovery Plan 

Notice of approval by Minister 

for Greater Christchurch 

Regeneration 

Pursuant to section 31 of the Greater Christchurch Regeneration 

Act 2016, the Minister for Greater Christchurch Regeneration has 

approved an Outline for Christchurch City Council to develop draft 

Amendments to the Christchurch Central Recovery Plan (CCRP). 

In accordance with section 28 of the Greater Christchurch 

Regeneration Act 2016 the Outline sets out the process by which the 

Amendments will be developed together with the scope and overall 

intent of the Amendments. 

The CCRP seeks to promote both a world class stadium/multi use 

arena (CMUA) and a vibrant inner city residential living environment, 

however, noise modelling work suggests that these aspirations may 

be difficult to reconcile in respect of noise from the CMUA. Other 

than some limited provisions for acoustic insulation in neighbouring 

properties, the CCRP does not currently provide the necessary 

guidance on how to address or resolve this, or how these objectives 

might both be achieved. 

The proposed amendments to the CCRP are therefore intended to: 

A. clearly articulate the aspirations of these projects; 

B. identify how these aspirations should be most appropriately 

resolved; and 

C. as necessary or appropriate, direct amendments to the relevant 

resource management documents including the District Plan to 

establish a clear and certain planning framework that reflects that 

resolution. 

The draft Amendments would apply to land between the four 

avenues. It is likely that as the Amendments are developed the 

geographical area to which they would apply will reduce, with a focus 

on the area surrounding the CMUA. 

The process adopted to develop the draft Amendments will ensure 

that opportunities are provided for community engagement and 

involvement. These opportunities are set out in the Outline. 

The approved Outline for the Amendments to the Christchurch 

Central Recovery Plan can be viewed on the webpage 

https://www.ccc.govt.nz/canterbury-mu-arena or please telephone 

941 8999 to request a copy.
