FAMILY AFFAIR: Shea Crotty with her mother Robyn Crotty who is also about to join the international stage.

PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER

Mum not left out in sporting family „„ By Gabrielle Stuart RYAN CROTTY may be a 91kg All Black and Shea Crotty an international basketballer, but their mother, Robyn Crotty, isn’t afraid to take either of them on.

The 55-year-old is set to compete as a bodybuilder in the world championships in Las Vegas next month, alongside her daughter, Shea.

It will be their first time competing together, although no one in the sporting family is a stranger to the world stage.

Steve Crotty played and coached rugby for several teams including New Brighton.

Robyn played water polo for New Zealand, swam competitively and has won several bodybuilding competitions.

Ryan Crotty, their oldest son, has been an All Black since 2013 and has captained the Crusaders.

Shea is a Tall Fern and captain of the Canterbury Wildcats. Robyn’s other son Luke showed promise at rugby before injury ruled him out. •Turn to page 3

Keown’s return leads to online dust-up „„ By Star reporters THE RETURN of Aaron Keown to the city council has triggered a tirade of social media attacks – some from current and former colleagues.

Mr Keown (right), who was voted out in the 2013 election after he supported the much criticised former city council chief executive Tony Marryatt, swept back into power on Saturday.

But already he has been spoken to by Mayor Lianne Dalziel over comments he made on Radio New Zealand about the council’s earthquake insurance payout and asset sales.

Ms Dalziel called him on Tuesday to tell him making comments at that point “may not be a sensible idea.�

When asked what her advice would be for new councillors,

including Mr Keown, Ms Dalziel said: “I would just sort of say look just take things quietly. There’s a lot of information to be shared with councillors, they need to understand a number of things before they can even begin to comment,� she said.

Mr Keown’s comments sparked posts on Facebook from outgoing councillor Ali Jones, new councillor Deon Swiggs, and Raf Manji.

Said Ms Jones: And already Keown is at it. Thank God I am not there!

Replied Mr Swiggs: How? Ms Jones: RadioNZ news at 4.

Dean Lester, who was an unsuccessful council candidate in the Coastal Ward chipped in: Keown dressed appropriately with a beanie? Not for mine . . . and news at 4 (must listen). •Turn to page 3

Thursday October 13 2016 FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK

THE SNIPING amongst the newly elected council has begun – a week before they’ve even been sworn in.

We reveal on page 1 today it is the return of Aaron Keown which has been the catalyst for social media posts, and he has even been pulled in for a talking to by Mayor Lianne Dalziel.

Keown was interviewed by Radio New Zealand and he had a few things to say about the council’s quake insurance payout and asset sales.

That prompted departing councillor Ali Jones, newly elected Deon Swiggs and incumbent Raf Manji – who could be Dalziel’s deputy if Vicki Buck doesn’t want it again – to have a crack at Keown on Facebook.

So Keown looks like he could be in for a bit of a rocky ride on council. However, he’s a big boy and will be able to handle himself.

And let’s hope he and others will continue to air their views publicly – after all, they were voted in by YOU. –Barry Clarke

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST

This week in history saw the finish of the “last great air race” from London to Christchurch.

On October 10, 1953, it was won by an RAF Canberra bomber (right). On October 11, 1988, The Wizard waged war against the “Tasteless tyrants of Telecom” by repainting the new blue telephone boxes in the traditional red. The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh visited the city on October 12 to 14.

city to Rolleston was opened on October 13, 1866. On October 13, 1986, Sir Hamish Hay began his fifth and final term as mayor of Christchurch, while on October 14, 1989, Vicki Buck became the first woman and youngest person to be elected mayor. On October 15, 1881, Lancaster Park opened. The privatelyowned development was built so that sports clubs could charge admission to games.

A concerned passer-by has taken to Facebook to try and return a pair of false teeth to their rightful owner. The woman spotted the false teeth next to a tree in Latimer Square last Thursday but did not touch them. She posted a photo of the teeth on the city council Facebook page to show theirlocation. The city council said it would refer the find onto its parks maintenance team.

Spat over Keown’s return •From page 1 Mr Lester again: Keown at 4pm rnz “Sell non-performing assets because if it doesn’t return a profit not and asset.” And says ccc shouldn’t have settled insurance.

Mr Swiggs: Oh god! It’s not the only measure of performance when it comes to a civic asset – in my opinion Raf Manji, who was returned unopposed in the Waimairi Ward, said: that didn’t take long!

Mr Swiggs: No it didn’t!

Mr Manji: So I guess we sell all our libraries? ummm . . .

Mr Swiggs: Raf Manji you’ve left all the parks off the list!

Leanne Curtis, who is not a city councillor but is a well known community advocate said: Is he considered an asset?

Non-performing certainly if past experience is anything to go by.

Replied Ms Jones: It’s just so frustrating that he doesn’t think before he opens his mouth.

Mr Keown told The Star yesterday he was surprised and disappointed that people had been making comments about him.

They were a “really good bunch of people around the table” and he had thought they were on the same page, he said.

“I’m not going to name call or have a go at any other elected members. The public have elected Lianne as mayor for the next three years so I’m willing to work with her, and the public have also elected all the other councillors and so I think the city would be better served if people play by those rules,” he said.

CITY HALL: Aaron Keown’s re-election has already set the sparks flying, with comments from Ali Jones and Deon Swiggs.

He said he would respect Ms Dalziel’s request and be more cautious about making future comments, but he stood by what he had said.

Mr Swiggs said he thought it was inappropriate for new councillors to comment on matters like the insurance settlement until they had all the information.

“One of my mottos when I was in the navy was talk about the issues, not the people. It is difficult at times and I have been caught out and made mistakes at times, but it is how I want to move forward,” he said.

Ms Dalziel said she did not read the Facebook comments, but had always believed the council should work as a team.

“I believe I have been successful and I don’t expect anything different from this council.”

Meanwhile, in another political spat community board mem-

ber Linda Stewart has taken a swipe at her former chairwoman, Andrea Cummings.

Ms Cummings, who missed out on re-election to the CoastalBurwood Community Board, said on Facebook on Saturday in thanking her supporters that she could leave with her “head held high . . . knowing I did all I could for the community with honesty and their best interests at heart.’’

But in a text released under the Official Information Act Ms Stewart said: The people were so disappointed that you didn’t represent them. I tried to tell you but you ignored my advice. The term was hard for that reason and not as hard as the one prior by a long shot.

“Find a new direction for yourself,” she advised Ms Cummings.

Ms Stewart told The Star yesterday it was not intended to be a personal attack on Ms

Cummings.

Ms Stewart said Ms Cummings did not advocate for the ward in regards to establishing a community advisory group for the QE II replacement facility and the hot salt water pools in New Brighton.

Ms Dalziel told The Star yesterday that Ms Cummings had worked “very hard for her constituents.”

“I think Linda should be a little more gracious towards Andrea who has worked extremely hard,” she said.

Ms Cumming told The Star she had always behaved in a fair and just way.

“During the term, I was gracious to Linda and offered her many opportunities to participate in the public eye over and above what I was obliged to as chair.”

Crotty’s mum off to world bodybuilding champs

•From page 1 Robyn said she began body building in 1983, at a time when gyms were still single-sex and women bodybuilding was unheard of.

“My father was horrified. I didn’t want to tell him, but there was a photo taken which was

going on the front page of the newspaper, so I thought, well, I better tell him now.”

She continued to compete after her children were born, getting up at 4am so she could train before they woke up.

But she had given it up, until Shea decided to compete for the

first time this year, and asked her mother to help her with training.

The two both qualified for the Natural Olympia championship in Las Vegas after winning categories of the Southern Lakes Natural INBA competition.

Ryan was not able to be there

to cheer them on, as he was playing for the All Blacks in Buenos Aires that weekend, but Shea said he had texted them encouragement.

“I was really nervous, but he said I’m so proud of you, you can do it, you’re going to be great.”

In Brief PRINCIPAL ADMITS SEX CHARGES WITH BOY Former Prebbleton School principal Michael William Hogan, 54, has admitted 10 historic charges of indecent assault and sexual violation against a boy between 1990 and 1995 when he was teaching at a small school in Southland. The offending involved one victim, aged between 13 to 18 during the period of offending, at two different Southland schools.

Hogan was remanded in custody until sentencing on December 14. Hogan was the principal at Prebbleton School until the end of last year.

ECAN SPENDS $10,000 ON MEDIA TRAINING Environment Canterbury spent more than $10,000 on media training for staff, including teaching them the “importance” of meeting deadlines, over three years. Data released under the Official Information Act showed ECan paid former journalist and Canterbury University broadcast tutor Jo Malcolm $4080 in 2015 and $5755 this year to up-skill staff. In 2014, ECan reimbursed Brett Solvander $370 for expenses to run media training.

About 50 people were trained in each session on the importance of deadlines, how media work and how to turn technical matters into everyday language.

SMITH SCANDAL REGRET A man who witnessed All Black Aaron Smith slipping into a disabled toilet with a mystery woman says he regrets going public and apologises to the player. The man said he “absolutely’’ regretted going to the media with the story after he, his wife and their children saw the couple at Christchurch Airport. In an email to the NZ Herald, the original tipster said the only organisation they had thought to report the incident to was a particular airline, as they believed the woman involved was a flight attendant or airport employee.

News Centre set to open

Chance for Dalziel to forge Sharing a passion for sustainability

By Annabelle Dick THE MT Pleasant Memorial Community Centre will open to the public after a nearly six-year uphill battle for a new home.

Construction woes and the discovery of asbestos in the ground delayed the community centre build, but the opening will still go ahead tomorrow.

Mt Pleasant Residents’ Association president Derek McCullough said the $4.6m project has taken years to come to fruition but he’s excited about the unveiling.

“It’s a mixture of euphoria and dead tiredness. It’s been a long and interesting journey and we’re in sight of the finish line so it’s just that last little push now,” he said.

The two-story, 600 sq m building was designed by Grand Designs NZ host Chris Moller.

There is an atrium, a studio for dance classes, a room for meetings or arts and crafts, a catering kitchen and an office. The building has a capacity of 250.

By Bridget Rutherford THREE YEARS ago, Mayor Lianne Dalziel took over the mayoral chains excited and unaware of full extent of the city’s financial state.

On Saturday, she was voted back in as mayor, but knowing exactly what she and the 16 councillors around her are facing.

“We know there are no surprises,” she said.

“We know that there are no hidden landmines waiting to explode in our faces so it really does feel like we can get things done.”

She and the 13 councillors elected in 2013 had no idea what financial state the city council was in following the September 2010 and February 2011 earthquakes, she said.

She said the previous council had put about $400 million

REGENERATION: Mayor Lianne Dalziel says she is excited to lead the city for her second term at the helm.

PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER in the budget as ‘savings to be found’ for the SCIRT programme.

“But there were no savings to be found. And the money wasn’t coming from central

Government.”

She said the previous council had resolved the $635 million insurance settlement, although it was less than the $920 million in claims it had lodged, signed off

the long term and annual plans and completed community facility rebuilds.

She was proud of what it had achieved. Now it was time to look ahead.

ahead with issues The new council table sat down on Sunday and introduced themselves, before talking about what they wanted to achieve in the next three years.

Many of them shared a passion for sustainability, getting things done, and lowering the rates increase, Ms Dalziel said.

“I’ve always said that building a team means you’re respectful of difference.”

However, she believed the new councillors that cover 16 newly created wards, shared the same values and wanted what’s best for Christchurch.

Seven of the councillors are part of the Labour-leaning group The People’s Choice.

Ms Dalziel said although the group nearly made up half of the council table, she was not concerned about block voting.

“People’s choice have tended to indicate when they would vote in a particular way - they don’t always do that, but they do on particular issues.”

A significant amount of the city had supported The People’s Choice, she said, so many people were behind those policies.

Ms Dalziel said like many of the incumbent councillors, she wanted to continue their work.

The future of the residential red zone, New Brighton and the central city were key, but it was also about suburbs, such as Bishopdale, Woolston, Linwood and Edgeware that could benefit from a regeneration plan, she said. Getting more people living in between the four avenues was another priority for Ms Dalziel.

She wants about 20,000 living there, and would be putting that on the table this term.

‘Sometimes if you want to get something done, standing on a soap box and screaming at the Government won’t get it over the line.’ – Lianne Dalziel However, to do that, the new council needed to think about how it could work for different types of families with different budgets, she said.

Ms Dalziel said we were unlikely to see a change in her approach to central Government.

“Sometimes if you want to get something done, standing on a soap box and screaming at the Government won’t get it over the line,” she said.

“I think I’m more successful by working collaboratively with the

Government.”

However, she said there were issues that needed to be resolved, with some needing public input before decisions were made.

She said the council should “probably” have a conversation with central Government about the Convention Centre, and its relationship with the performing arts precinct.

“And that’s just to see whether we can get what is best for Christchurch out of that arrangement which is at this stage that the Government proceed on its own.

“The council’s not putting any money into the Convention Centre but that is something that I wouldn’t rule out wanting to have a conversation about.”

In terms of the proposed multipurpose stadium, Ms Dalziel said it had to wait to see what happens with Lancaster Park before making any decisions.

Ms Dalziel said she did not know who her deputy would be.

“We’ve faced up to enormous challenges, but we’ve got things resolved and so I now, coming into the mayoralty this time, feel just as excited about the future – but one I know a lot more about.”

Donations flow to return Danish hunter’s body home CHRISTCHURCH friends of Nicolaj Brun, who fell to his death while hunting on the West Coast, have raised more than $33,000 to send his body home to his family in Denmark.

The 26-year-old died on Monday after slipping from a ridge line on the Gunn Ridge Track, where he was hunting with a friend.

Friends from Christchurch set up a Givealittle page, trying to raise the $25,000 needed to

transport his body to his family in Denmark.

But within three days they had raised more than $33,000.

Some doners said Mr Brun was a true friend they would never forget, while others said they had only met him once but appreciated his hard work and kindness.

The extra money raised would be given to Mr Brun’s family to help pay for his funeral arrangements.

Teens describe abuse at Te Puna Wai TEENAGERS HAVE described being pinned to the ground and getting locked up for 23 hours a day at a youth justice residence in Christchurch as an atmosphere “like the Hunger Games.”

Former residents of Child, Youth and Family’s Te Puna Wai o Tuhinapo have spoken out after documents revealed young people had been unlawfully detained for weeks on end in its seclusion wing during 2014.

Documents obtained also showed • Staff used “inappropriate force” against young people.

• Secure care was used as punishment.

• Some young people were stripped and put in suicide gowns.

• A “significant number” of teens should not have been in seclusion at all.

One woman, now 21, said while she was at Te Puna Wai in 2013 she had ended up on the ground while being restrained by a male staff member after she grew angry and threw a phone against a wall.

“A male should not have been doing [that] to a female. But yet I got in trouble for that, not him.”

The woman said she had also spent time in secure care, once for 14 days after hitting another resident. She had not been before a judge during that time.

“When I was in there, it was for 23 hours a day. I was stripsearched, chucked in a cell and the only time I came out was for kai. I didn’t know about a judge.”

She was 17 at the time.

Another young woman, now 24, said when she had been placed in secure care at the facility during 2009, it was only for serious behaviour, such as threatening to set the residence on fire.

The woman said most of the staff were reasonable, but it could become a volatile situation very quickly.

“When you’re in there, it was like the Hunger Games. It was us versus them, the staff. And because they were adults they knew more than us, so really it was their game and we were trying to beat them.”

Looking back, she said most of the staff were genuine, but there were a few “bent screws” who would break the rules or give young people a hard time.

The former residents’ accounts relate incidents similar to those described in the documents obtained by the NZ Herald under the Official Information Act in the wake of a poor review of the facility by the Office of the Children’s Commissioner.

Summary notes from an October 16, 2014, phone conference which included chief social worker Paul Nixon stated three young people had been in secure care since September without having their detention

reviewed.

“These are therefore illegal detentions,” the note states.

It also said secure care was incorrectly used as punishment for behaviour.

Secure care is considered a form of segregation and is monitored by the Office of the Children’s Commissioner in its watchdog role under the Crimes of Torture Act, as it can affect a detainee’s mental and physical health.

if secure care detention is to exceed 72 hours.

The law also requires a daily review of each young person by the staff member in charge of the unit to ensure they do not stay any longer than absolutely necessary.

The documents also revealed that staff used non-approved methods of restraint and there are repeated references of young people “going to ground” while being restrained.

“Staff see themselves as needing to be seen to ‘win’ situations with young people,” the phone conference note states.

CYF said it had since changed its restraining hold, used in a model called “Non Violent Crisis Intervention” because it was too easy for a young person to lose balance.

Children’s Commissioner Judge Andrew Becroft told the NZ Herald there had since been significant improvements at the facility, but the reported breaches were serious and unlawful.

He will soon ask the Government for more money to enable inspections of residences every six months instead of 18 and to get beefed-up inspection powers.

West saga cost $262,000

By Shelley Robinson IT COST more than $86,000 to recruit former Lincoln University vice-chancellor Andy West – but about $147,000 to end his time with the embattled institution.

Dr West (below) announced his shock exit on June 26 last year and left the same day, but not before it cost the university $29,172 in legal fees, and $117,799 – a “last day of duty” payment.

All this after the university paid $86,540 to recruit for the vice-chancellor role, which was taken up by Dr West in 2012.

The $117,799 was branded a golden handshake by the Tertiary Education Union when the State Services Commission released the remuneration of tertiary education leaders in November.

TEU Lincoln University spokeswoman Cindy Doull said it was a lot of money to spend on a person.

“With these sort of quick exits, they weigh up the risk and

Speaking generally about resignation packages, ChenPalmer Partners principal Anthony Russell said it was “quite normal” for legal advice to be received on a resignation.

“Particularly where there were some issues between employer and employee and the means of resolution was a resignation, combined with an exit payment,” he said.

Mr Russell said exit packages were a “normal mechanism” to resolve employment disputes.

A Lincoln University spokeswoman said that the final payment included any benefits still owing like holiday pay.

Dr West’s pay band was between $400,000 and $409,000 in the 2013/2014 financial year before his “golden handshake” bumped his salary up to between $540,000 and $549,000 in the 2014/2015 financial year.

The university would not reveal how much it paid a recruitment company to recruit internationally and nationally for current vice-chancellor, Professor Robin Pollard, but said it was “less” than Dr West’s.

The Star could not locate Dr West for comment.

COSTLY: Lincoln University spent more than $227,000 in recruitment, legal costs and an exit package on former vice-chancellor Andy West.

potential further damage and usually it comes at a cost. There is certainly evidence he left quickly – he left the same day it was announced,” she said.

The university has been under immense financial pressure since the February 22, 2011 earthquakes, with a $6 million loss last year.

Dr West announced his resignation, citing family reasons,

with his exit dogged by claims he spent too much on consultants.

In July, it was reported that Lincoln University had paid $3.4 million in consultancy fees.

The legal advice for the resignation was provided by barrister Glenn Jones. The university said it could not reveal what the advice entailed for privacy reasons.

Asset sales list revealed

By Shelley Robinson THE ASSETS Lincoln University is eyeing up for potential sale have been revealed, including its hefty $61.9m land portfolio.

At a council meeting last month, vice-chancellor Robin Pollard reported that financial consultants Deloitte would be delving into a review of subsidiaries and key assets.

But while its 5000ha of farm land is under review, a Lincoln University spokeswoman said the land used for research purposes would be preserved.

Other assets under review include: Lincoln Hospitality Ltd, which operates the university’s catered accommodation; Agri One, its agri-food industry education centre; Lincoln AgriTech Ltd, its research and development arm; Lincoln University Property.

The review included looking at how it could “optimise” the assets it had, including performance, and different ownership arrangements.

The university has made no secret of the fact it is in a dire financial situation, looking at asset sales and possible amalgamation with other institutions.

It has made more than 100 redundancies over 2013 and 2014.

Contamination won’t stop progress Developers prepared for red zone risk

By Gabrielle Stuart REVELATIONS that large parts of the red zone are contaminated with asbestos have not deterred potential developers, who plan to push ahead with their proposals.

Information released by Regenerate Christchurch shows more than half the blocks of red zone land have possible asbestos contamination, while there are problems from pesticides and an old landfill site in others.

Most of the land was also at high risk from flooding and prone to liquefaction.

The contamination could throw up issues for “greening” the red zone, edible garden and orchard trail proposals.

Edible Canterbury coordinator Matt Morris (above)

said some of the projects might not be possible if the soil contamination was significant.

“We would take all that information very seriously, because there is no point trying to do a public health project, making food available for more people, while we are poisoning them with contaminants,” he said.

But he said the groups had been prepared to face contam-

ination issues and planned to do thorough testing and research into their options.

“It is not necessarily different to other spaces in an urban city. These issues are there everywhere and there are always mitigation options and ways to deal with it,” he said.

The East Lake Trust is developing plans for a water course in the red zone, which could be used recreationally and host local and interna-

tional sporting events.

Chairman David Goodman said the next step for the trust was a comprehensive pre-feasibility report into any contamination, geotechnical and water issues, which he hoped would be completed early next year.

“We will need to establish whether there are any showstoppers, major issues that would make the lake not feasible to construct. Most issues can be overcome, but that comes with a cost,” he said.

Regenerate Christchurch chief executive Ivan Iafeta said the information about potential issues with the land had been released in an effort to keep the community informed.

“Our aim here is to help provide ready access to any information that might help the community develop their own ideas for the residential red zone and understand the basis on which any future decisions might be made,” he said.

He said a decision had not been made about whether Regenerate Christchurch would pay for remediation of the land, or if it would be left up to the developer to pay for.

ND DINING SUITES A

D E C I R P L AL

By Tom Doudney and Gabrielle Stuart THE COST of building in Christchurch is now the second highest in the country, at $2147 per square metre.

That is higher than the cost in Wellington or in Auckland, where the average is $2081.

But it is slightly below Queenstown Lakes, with a $2268 average cost.

Canterbury Registered Master Builders president Ivan Stanicich (above) said

stricter rules around foundations and strengthening since the earthquakes were responsible for much of the rise.

The extra strengthening could add about $200 per square metre to the average property price, he said.

“You can build under that, but have to buy better ground. Generally people who buy a cheaper section end up having to pay more. I’ve just had to do an extra $50,000 in work for a client because we have had to raise the foundations and strengthen underneath the house,” he said.

RISING HIGHER: The cost of extra foundation and strengthening work, wages and materials have left building costs in Christchurch the second highest in the country. ​

second highest He said the square metre cost could vary a lot depending on the location, from about $1800 for a build on stable ground, to about $3000 for an unstable or hill property.

He believed the prices in other parts of the country would rise to match Christchurch, as the stricter rules were implemented.

He said supply and demand had also contributed to raising the prices, but even when demand flattened out prices were unlikely to drop.

“For anyone thinking of building, the cheapest day to build was yesterday, because the prices don’t drop. No matter where the demand goes, a builder earning $35 a hour is not going to want to earn less tomorrow,” he said.

Insurance Council chief executive Tim Grafton said higher building costs were a factor for homeowners to consider when setting premiums with their insurer.

“Homeowners should be mindful of building costs going up and adjusting their sum insured accordingly,” Mr Grafton said.

The figures were collected by Statistics New Zealand and based on building consent figures, which do not include the cost of land, fees and any price increases during the build.

It advised that the actual cost of a home was usually at least 10 per cent higher than the consent estimate.

WE ARE building bigger homes than we did 40 years ago, but fewer of them.

Those were the findings in a new piece of research by Statistics NZ, which compared the homes we were building in the 1970s to the ones we are building now.

In 1974, 38,000 new homes were consented, and the average floor area of each was 110 sq m.

In the past year, just 30,000 new homes were consented, but the average floor area was 182 sq m.

Statistics NZ business indicators senior manager Neil Kelly said homes now were much bigger than they used to be.

“The number of homes we’re building is lower than in the mid1970s, but we’re building more in terms of total floor area,” he said.

If you add up the floor area of each house built, the total was 5.4 million sq m in the past year, compared with 4.2 million in 1974.

That means we built an extra 1.2 million sq m in housing this year over what we built 40 years ago, but were left with 8000 fewer homes.

News Children bear the brunt of What is happening to our kids? Last year, 10 children aged between 10 and 14 committed suicide.

Violence in schools is also a growing problem, with 71 children expelled from school within a year for physically assaulting staff. And with waiting lists for child mental health counselling services growing longer, there are few places parents and teachers can turn. Gabrielle Stuart reports WHEN SARAH Maindonald began working as a counsellor 24 years ago, she saw teenagers struggling with mental health issues, but barely ever a child.

Now, working across Christchurch primary schools as a counsellor, she regularly sees children aged nine or younger dealing with anxiety or depression.

Many issues were earthquakerelated, as children dealt with their own experiences, instability and stress within the family.

But other problems were sparked by changes within the family, or changes to society.

Children were also having to deal with technology and social media earlier, she said.

“We’ve had young kids who

have accessed pornography accidentally on their phones and are quite upset about it. We’ve had kids receiving sexualised messages or requests for nude pics, and that’s hitting a really young age group, 11 or 12 years old or younger.”

For some the problems played out in violence or aggression at school, while others withdrew into themselves and struggled to learn or concentrate, she said.

She works to help primary and intermediate-aged children across several schools.

But with no Government funding available for in-school counselling until high school years, primary schools have to pay for it out of their already stretched teaching budgets, which only a few opt to do.

LINCOLN’S FINEST SUBDIVISION

LISTENING EAR: Child counsellor Sarah Maindonald is one of just a few working in primary schools, as there is no funding available for school counselling until high school.

If children did not receive help early on, she was worried about where they could end up.

Ten New Zealand children between the ages of 10 and 14 committed suicide in 2014.

A nine-year-old girl killed herself last year in the bathroom of her Palmerston North school.

Violence in schools is also growing.

In 2014, 71 students were excluded or expelled from schools for physically assaulting school staff, compared with 57 the previous year.

Nationally, primary school principals and the NZ Association of Counsellors are lobbying the Government to fund counsellors in primary schools.

But Ms Maindonald said the

need was even greater and more urgent in Christchurch, because community counselling services were under so much pressure already.

Even after an extra $20 million in Government funding for Canterbury District Health Board mental health services, the amount available was still well below the national average.

mental health shortfalls

The national average this year was $251 in funding per person, while in Canterbury it was $207 per person.

Home and Family Society Christchurch executive director Val Carter said the demand for it’s child counselling service had grown after the earthquakes, and was still rising.

There had been no waiting list for the service until this year, but now there were 26 children waiting to be seen, on top of the 101 children and 22 youth the organisation was currently working with, she said.

That was likely to be just the tip of the iceberg, Canterbury University associate professor Kathleen Liberty said.

She is conducting an extensive study following about 320 children through their first three

‘Families now are so busy trying to put food on the table just to survive, there are a lot of lonely kids out there’ - Sarah Maindonald

years at school,and found at least one in five show symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder.

But she said only about eight percent were getting any kind of counselling.

She believed having counsellors based within schools was vital, because the problems were so common.

“Where there is an individual disaster, like a parent killed in a crash, the wider family and the school community can rally around to help. But when you have a community-wide disaster it’s a lot more difficult, and all the resources to help are stretched,” she said.

“Putting a counsellor into the school provides a way for not only counsellors to help children, but also to help teachers develop ways to cater for the child’s emotional needs.”

Canterbury Primary Principals’ Association president Jeanette Shearer said many teachers were struggling to cope.

“It’s not just one or two children in a classroom anymore,” she said.

“Some children just withdraw into themselves. They’re not really engaging and they are not

Issues at home, like family violence or a split between parents, could make a child more vulnerable to mental health problems, Ms Maindonald said.

But many had supportive families and good parents, she said.

Often a child would talk to a counsellor about things they wouldn’t tell their parents, she said.

“Children are fascinating really, because sometimes they will shield things from their parents because they’re worried about them,” she said.

“If they’re aware the parent is stressed sometimes they do actually shut down a bit. And it’s not because of the the quality of the parenting, it’s because of the quality of the love the child has for the parent.”

She said it was a difficult time to be a child, and they needed somewhere to get support.

“I really feel for kids, because often families now are so busy trying to put food on the table just to survive. There are a lot of lonely kids out there, and they’re more vulnerable,” she said.

It was important to teach children ways to cope early, before they reached their teens and faced big decisions around things like drugs, alcohol, relationships and careers.

“If you teach these kids some of those psychological skills, to learn how to deal with stress and how to communicate about feelings and how to seek help, if those are embedded when they’re young they’re lifelong investments,” she said.

Hospital parking woes set to worsen

AMAZING EXPERIENCE: Dr Sarah Kessans will find out whether she has progressed to the next round of candidates to become a NASA astronaut in December. ​

because of city council roading changes.

A CDHB spokeswoman said it had no ownership or usage rights over the car park, and referred questions to the managers of the car park.

The city council used to manage the car park, but does not any longer, so referred questions to Ōtākaro, which is responsible for construction of the Metro Sports Facility.

But an Ōtākaro spokesman referred questions to the private operator of the car park, Wilson Parking.

The hospital Park and Ride shuttle service was run from the Metro Sports Facility car park, but that was moved to a smaller 300 space car park on Deans Ave last year.

CDHB acting chief executive Mary Gordon said the health board ran a car park next door for some staff, and the Park and Ride service would also continue to operate.

She said the Park and Ride service has been used 380,264 times since it was started.

By Gabrielle Stuart THERE APPEARS to be no further solution over the worsening parking problems around Christchurch Hospital, as a 550-space car park in the area is set to close next month.

The site of the planned Metro Sports Facility has been used for public car parking, and is often used by both hospital staff and visitors.

But it is set to close on November 19, so construction of the anchor project can start.

But agencies involved do not seem to have any plan around where people using the car park, which is run by Wilson Parking, will go.

Parking is already reduced around the hospital because of construction projects under way at and in the city.

Other car parks around Hagley Park have also been removed

Next step in space bid looms A CANTERBURY University postdoctoral fellow has just returned from a week-long camp in the United States in the hopes of becoming an astronaut.

Dr Sarah Kessans, 33, said the trip was the “best week of her life” so far, and the facilities and the people were incredible.

“Everyone there understands that they’re a part of something bigger than themselves: Part of a massive, inspiring undertaking responsible for exploring our universe, pushing science forward, and really connecting humanity on a global scale. It was humbling to just be amongst it.”

She was in the top 1 per cent

of applicants short-listed to become an astronaut, and had interviews for NASA’s Astronaut Candidate Class of 2017 at its Johnson Space Centre in Houston Texas last month.

She was among 120 candidates and will find out whether she has made it into the next cut of about 60 finalists in December.

From there, eight to 14 will be chosen as NASA’s 22nd Astronaut Candidate Class, reporting for duty in August next year.

Dr Kessans said the group went through a lot of medical and psychological testing, a formal hour-long interview and

tours of many of the facilities.

“NASA really wanted to understand who we are as people and as potential teammates, and the events throughout the week reflected that.”

She said one of her favourite parts was the opportunity to interact with the current members of the Astronaut Corps.

“In addition to everything I learned and experienced, it was great to be able to share with those at NASA how our research here at the University of Canterbury is helping to push science forward and how it could even be applied to projects related to long-duration space exploration in the future.”

Chinese National Day Reception Held in Christchurch On September 23, Chinese Consulate General in Christchurch held the reception to celebrate the 67th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. More than 200 people attended the function, including Customs and Disability issues Minister Nicky Wagner, Members of Parliament Megan Woods, Ruth Dyson, Poto Williams and Joanna Hayes, Special Advisor and Director Christchurch for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade Amb. Phillip Gibson, Christchurch Mayor Lianne Dalziel and six other South Island Mayors, and friends from various circles, representatives of Chinese community, Chinese enterprises and overseas students in the consular districts.

CG Jin Zhijian said in his remarks that 2016 is the opening year of China’s 13th Five-Year Plan, and also marks the beginning of the decisive stage leading up to the building of a moderately prosperous society. Led by the theoretical guideline of the five concepts for development which are innovation, coordination, green development, opening up and inclusiveness, the Chinese government has firmly advanced supply-side structural reform, and deeply advocated mass entrepreneurship and innovation. The Chinese economy has maintained general stability and made steady progress.

In the first half of this year, Chinese economy grew by 6.7%.

China is still one of the most important driving forces for global economic growth, with its economy shifting towards a more balanced and sustainable pattern of growth with bright prospects. Meanwhile, China is promoting the rule of law comprehensively, and the battle against poverty continues to make new progress. Chinese people are confident to achieve the first centenary goal which is “to build a moderately prosperous society in all respects when the Communist Party celebrates its centenary in 2021”.

CG Jin said that 2016 is a fruitful year for China’s diplomacy.

The One Belt One Road initiative has received positive responses from more than 100 countries and international organizations, and China has signed related cooperation agreements with more than 30 countries.

Earlier this month, China successfully hosted the G20 Summit with the theme of “Towards an Innovative, Invigorated, Interconnected and Inclusive World Economy” in Hangzhou. The G20 Leaders’ Communiqué Hangzhou Summit and 28 specific outcome documents were issued under China’s guidance during the summit.

These outcomes have demonstrated the partnership spirit of facing challenges together, charted the course for world economic growth, mapped out a series of practical action plans and showcased the determination of pursuing common development. The results achieved in the G20 Hangzhou Summit have set up a new “global benchmark” to the international community and living up to the world’s expectation.

and Chinese Premier Li Keqiang met with him again several days ago in New York, during which leaders of both countries reached many important consensuses on promoting China-New Zealand comprehensive strategic partnership, injecting new impetus into the development of bilateral relationship.

Liu Qibao, Qi Xuchun and other Chinese state leaders visited New Zealand this year. China has been New Zealand’s largest trading partner for the past three consecutive years, and the number of Chinese tourists in New Zealand grew fast. Driven by the development of China-New Zealand relations, the exchanges between China and the South Island continued to flourish. Local officials of both sides maintained frequent reciprocal visits with sister city relationships increased and further broadened, and remarkable outcomes in bilateral practical cooperation have been achieved.

More Chinese enterprises have made investment in the South Island. The number of Chinese students studying in the South Island has been increasing steadily, and nearly ten thousand local Kiwis are learning Chinese. After the successful launching of the direct flights between Christchurch and Guangzhou in December last year, China Southern has decided to increase the number of flights from three to five times per week by December this year, which will further facilitate the trade and personnel exchanges between China and the South Island.

CG Jin said that the year of 2017 will witness Chinese people’s old friend, Mr Rewi Alley’s 120th birthday anniversary, the 90th anniversary of his arrival in China and the 30th anniversary of his death. We must continue to carry forward the spirit of Rewi Alley, to learn and practice his enthusiasm and noble sentiment of selfless dedication, unyielding faith, indomitable perseverance, love of peace, broad-mindedness of advocating cooperation, a serious and down to earth working attitude. The Chinese Consulate General will continue to strive forward with all parties concerned, to jointly push relationship between China and the South Island to a higher level so as to better benefit both people.

Minister Wagner in her remarks warmly congratulated on China’s national day, spoke highly of the remarkable outcomes of mutually beneficial cooperation between China and New Zealand in various fields. She stressed that China has become one of the most important trading partners of New Zealand, and the New Zealand government is committed to further deepening the allaround cooperation with China. The two sides should

enhance communication and mutual learning so that the two peoples could continue to share more benefits from the development of bilateral relations.

Mayor Dalziel highly appreciated the outstanding achievements of China’s reform and development which have attracted world attention. She said the South Island districts and cities including Christchurch have attached high importance to strengthening cooperation with China.

The direct flight between Christchurch and Guangzhou has not only greatly facilitated the people to people exchanges between the South Island and China, but also further promoted the globalization of the South Island.

And such outcomes should be attributed to the joint efforts of both sides. Mayor Dalziel, on behalf of all the mayors attending the reception, expressed sincere gratitude to what the Chinese Consulate General has done to promote the exchanges between China and the South Island in various fields and expected the bilateral cooperation to be further upgraded.

Labour MP Megan Woods in her remarks reviewed the development of China-New Zealand relations. She mentioned that this year celebrates the 100th founding anniversary of the Labour Party, and the Labour Party has taken a series of important measures in promoting relations with China including abandoning the capitation tax of Chinese labours, establishing diplomatic ties with China, and signing the free trade agreement between the two countries. She extended heartfelt congratulations on China’s national day and expressed full confidence in the prospects of strengthening cooperation between New Zealand and China.

The “Silk Road-A New Look” photo exhibition was also held on the spot of the reception at the same time and was well received. The reception was held in a warm and festive atmosphere, and guests sang high praise for the new achievements of China’s development, wishing the bilateral friendly cooperation would keep stepping forward.

Intellectual Disability Stewarts take stake in SeaDragon Parents Bid to prop up fish oil manufacturer

By Paul McBeth CHRISTCHURCH’S richlister Stewart family has built up a substantial stake in SeaDragon, exercising more than half the rights issued to prop up the fish oil manufacturer.

Pescado Holdings, a subsidiary of the family’s Masthead Holdings, exercised 652 million rights for a total price of $5.2 million, representing 59 per cent of the securities, SeaDragon said in a statement. The company said it has raised $8.8m with about 70 per cent of the rights exercised.

Seadragon wants to raise up to $12.5m at 0.8 cents a share to put the company on a more secure financial footing, and will offer the unexercised rights to eligible investors in a shortfall bookbuild, which will close on October 13.

The company’s latest accounts were tagged by the

Crown company Otakaro Ltd will begin work this week on creating a modern, safe and accessible park in the east of the city centre.

EQC’s dodgy repairs EARLIER IN the week, we heard yet more disturbing news about what’s been going on at EQC. According to documents obtained by my office, the number of dodgy EQC repairs needing to be rerepaired now sits at 10,492.

Now there’s a number of things about this that are really concerning. The first is how many repairs still have to be redone.

According to EQC, following an audit by Deloitte, that number now stands at 7414. That’s thousands of people and thousands of families who had gone through the whole EQC nightmare and who thought they were done and could move on with their lives, only to find they have to go through the whole process all over again.

But what’s especially worrying about these revelations is that neither EQC or the minister involved sought to release them publicly until they were required to under the Official Information Act. That’s only going to further

Megan Woods shake people’s confidence in how transparent EQC is being about the problems and challenges it faces.

Public confidence in EQC is so important. We need to know the houses they repair are going to be up to scratch, so that people can have the peace of mind to move on with their lives.

Ultimately, the real concern here isn’t just the dodgy repairs that have been identified, it’s about the larger concern that there might still be more that haven’t been identified. Think of a family who has a dodgy foundation repair, but doesn’t know about it yet. They might never realise until they go to sell their house years down the line, only to find their most valuable asset is worth far less than they thought.

For a long time now, Labour and local people have been calling for a full and independent review of EQC. Labour’s Christchurch Central candidate Duncan Webb and a local team have put together a petition with thousands of names that was presented to Parliament by Labour leader Andrew Little.

Time and time again, we’ve heard from Gerry Brownlee that everything is hunky-dory at EQC and that the current processes are fine. And time and time again, we learn about yet more issues that prove him wrong.

It’s well past time for an independent look at what’s gone wrong at EQC and what we can do to fix things and give people the certainty they need.

Epic cycle

Graham Frith has just returned from a two year adventure cycling through 41 countries to raise awareness for Prostate Cancer Foundation of New Zealand and Canteen. Bridget Rutherford spoke to him about being in Nepal when the devastating earthquake hit, and his encounters with dogs, drivers with road rage, and a cop with a bad attitude.

Enjoy modern Scandinavian design in your bedroom Have the best nights sleep on a Dreamwool Pocket Spring or Natural Latex mattress with 100% natural fillings.

No foams, polyester fillings and glue.

Enjoy year round superior comfort and support on a flexible slat bed

What prompted you to go on this trip, and why cycle?

I needed an adventure and I didn’t want to climb Mt Everest and I didn’t want to row across the Atlantic. Cycling was an amazing way to meet people and see the world. It sort of evolved, the idea started way back a year before I left. My wife had been doing a lot of study and she graduated and got a good job, and then she said it’s time for you to have your adventure.

And you were raising awareness for two groups weren’t you.

It was really an awareness thing. I had a few people ask me about prostate cancer and I have a medical background and I thought if I don’t know that, then most people in the street won’t know. And I had a young friend die from cancer, his family was tied up with Canteen, so it was about raising awareness for those.

When did you set off on it?

I left home in Hanmer Springs on May 26, 2014.

Where did you decide to start?

I went across Australia, I decided going across Australia would probably be one of the hardest bits so I thought I would get that out of the way first and go west. I left Melbourne and it was winter - I’d rather have the cold than the heat. Then I went across Indonesia and went up to Malaysia then South East Asia. I flew from Perth to Bali then cycled to Delhi, couldn’t get across Pakistan and flew to Kyrgyzstan and cycled to the Atlantic Ocean. Then flew to New York and cycled across America.

22 Kennaway Rd • www.dreamwool.com • Ph 343-5105

Do you know how many kilometres you would have cycled?

49,700km. Most of it was downhill.

How many countries did you cycle through?

41.

Did you have any scary moments during the trip?

In the whole trip I only had two moments where I was slightly scared by humans. Within 10km in Turkey I had four very, very scary moments with packs of dogs. On day one in Australia I had a guy with road rage that didn’t like bikes.

Then a couple of weeks ago on the west coast of America I had a run in with a woman with a badge, a gun, a taser and a bad attitude.

Sounds interesting, can you tell me about the dogs and the woman?

No I can’t it was too scary (laughs). She did have a badge so it was alright.

Did you get any injuries during the ride?

I got run over by a dog one day and got knocked off my bike in Kyrgyzstan. It was scrapes and bruises, but you fall off.

Were you alone a lot of the time?

Most of the time I was by myself, my wife joined me five times. Occasionally someone would be going in the same direction and at the same speed. I had two weeks with a young lady across the USA. I had a friend join me in Sumatra for two weeks. Another friend joined me in Nepal and India.

And I hear you were in Nepal when the devastating earthquake hit last year.

Can you tell me about that?

We’d just been to ANZAC parade at the Australian Embassy and we had driven out of Kathmandu and were about an hour and a half out when it hit. We were 10km from the epicentre. Everything just started shaking and there were landslides across the river from us.

We asked people how can we help and they told us that as an individual group we would be more of a hindrance. They said the best thing we could do was to go spend our money in the mountains, because everyone else would have been cancelling their trips. We went trekking for 12 days and went back to Kathmandu, just in time for the second earthquake.

It was pretty scary, I was in the Pakistan Embassy at the time. We were all hardened from the Christchurch earthquakes, but the Nepali were very, very scared, screaming and yelling.

What were a couple of the more memorable parts of the trip?

Every single day. But there were highlights like Cappadocia with the balloons.

The hospitality in Iran, and the amazing scenery in Colorado. The big highlight was every time my wife Juliet joined me.

Did you miss home?

Yeah I did, but every day was just so different and such a challenge. I missed my

ADVENTURE: Graham Frith and his wife Juliet on their final leg of the trip, in the United States. ​ friends, my wife and family. But there was so much happening.

And you had friends and family join you on the final leg from the Waiau Ferry Bridge to Hanmer recently didn’t you?

About 40 people joined me for the final leg. It was pretty overwhelming. I didn’t see much, I had tears in my eyes.

What’s it like to be back?

Pretty amazing. It’s pretty surreal that I’m here. It doesn’t feel like I’ve been away except I’ve got no clothes to wear.

What now? Are you planning more cycling trips?

I’ve got lots of ideas. I’m an ideas person. I’ve got challenges for myself - all sorts of fun stuff. One day if I can convince someone to come with me we will go cycling again.

Where were some of your favourite places?

I really love Nepal, Iran for the unexpected hospitality, and Colorado because of the scenery.

SET UP: Graham’s bicycle, Princess Fiona, and trailer made it through 41 countries.

Right: One of the highlights of the trip was to see the hot air balloons in Turkey.

• Continued, from page 25 What sort of hospitality did you receive in Iran?

I was in Iran for 31 days I camped three days, and I stayed in hotels for three days. The only reason I stayed in hotels was because I needed a break because every day someone would sweep me off the street, feed me, give me a bed, and entertain me. I was just getting exhausted, I couldn’t do the kilometres I needed to do.

There was dancing, alcohol (I don’t drink myself), it was party time.

And you were a St John volunteer before you left weren’t you, how did you get into doing that?

My wife was keen to do it. We were in the fire brigade originally and decided to join St John. The fire brigade was a comradery thing, and we were helping the community. Right across the USA we were hosted by fire brigades, and their equivalent to St John. It was fantastic.

And when you’re not cycling around the world, what are some of your hobbies?

I’ve been mountain biking

50 MONTHS

every day since I’ve been back.

It’s been fantastic. But I love everything outdoors like hiking, and I’m a kayak instructor.

I haven’t done either of them in a while.

You must have had a pretty sturdy bike to get across the world.

Yes, it is a Surly Ogre. Princess Fiona is her name, after the princess in Shrek because she’s an ogre. It’s a steel bike because if something happened to it in the back streets of India, people were able to weld it up. I did see lots of

others with all sorts of problems.

She is tucked away in the shed ready for the next one.

And the slogan for your cycle was Grum goes Global. Where does the nickname Grum come from?

My grandchildren call me Grummy. And my wife calls me Scrummy (laughs).

How many grandchildren do you have?

I’ve got five grandchildren. My youngest grandson was actually born on the day I left, so I haven’t met him yet. But they will be coming here for Christmas.

They all live in Invercargill and

Sisters have big plans

By Georgia O’Connor-Harding, Andrew King SISTERS CATHERINE Chu and Linda Chen have made their entrance into local body politics at the same time but on different community boards.

At 20-years-old Miss Chu is the youngest community board member in the city, representing Riccarton, while sister Ms Chen, 27, was elected to represent Harewood.

Ms Chen received 3391 votes to take her place on the Fendalton-WaimairiHarewood Community Board.

Aaron Campbell will take the other spot after receiving 2602 votes.

Miss Chu, a Westpac business bank manager, received 2074 votes getting the nod alongside long-time local body politician Helen Broughton receiving 2457 to take the two spots on the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board.

Ms Chen moved to New Zealand with her parents from South Korea when she was five-years-old while Miss Chu

was born in Christchurch.

Both sisters said they were “very excited” to be on the community board.

Said Ms Chen: “I am very excited my sister is on a community board as well as she is so young.”

She said her priority is to get traffic lights for the Breens, Gardiners and Harewood Rds intersection.

“I am hoping, being the youngest on the Harewood board, to utilise that youth and energy and be that approachable person that really makes a difference,” she said.

At the top of Miss Chu’s list is to bring ethnic groups together, and deal with traffic congestion and parking issues.

Having a strong interest in foreign language and culture, Miss Chu has been studying Chinese and Japanese part time at Canterbury University on top of her job.

“From a really young age I had enjoyed listening to other people and I was really excited when I knew I could be able to help people make their lives better,” Miss Chu said.

DYNAMIC DUO: Sisters Linda Chen (left) and Catherine Chu were successfully elected onto their chosen community boards on Saturday.

Elections 2016

Keown back on the council benches

By Andrew King AFTER THREE years on the council table sideline, Aaron Keown is back.

Mr Keown was elected onto the Sir Bob Parker council in 2010 before losing in the 2013 election.

But on Saturday, he was returned as Harewood Ward councillor with 2934 votes, ahead of Faimeh Burke (1651), Brian Garguilo (1008), Rod S Cameron (466) and Rod D Cameron (241).

He has also been re-elected to the Canterbury District Health Board.

Mr Keown said one of his priorities would be to try and reconnect the city council with the Minister supporting Greater Christchurch Regeneration, Gerry Brownlee.

“I will be more vocal with the Government and the first thing I will ask minister Brownlee is if we can get regular meetings with the city councillors and community board members,” he said.

Mr Keown said when he was a city councillor between 20102013, there were regular meetings with Mr Brownlee and the city council.

PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER

That had not happened in the council’s last term, he said.

He also wants Christchurch to be a focal point for movie making to help bring more innovative jobs to the city.

Roads, rates, waterway protection would also be a priority.

Innes Ward’s Pauline Cotter was re-elected onto the council table with 3814 votes, ahead of her only rival, Mel Rodricks (755).

Cr Cotter said this term is about reaping the rewards of the hard work they did last term.

The Papanui Ward will be represented by new councillor Mike Davidson, who received 3305 votes from former Conservative Party chairman John Stringer (2356).

He said it was great to make the step up from his role as chairman of the now defunct Shirley-Papanui Community

Board.

He is the son of Mayor Lianne Dalziel’s husband Rob Davidson.

Mr Davidson’s priorities will be centred around improving traffic conditions in the north of the city as well as keeping rates low.

Raf Manji (4073) will have another three years at the table winning by 2320 votes over Anthony Rimell (1753) in the Waimairi Ward.

“It is a new day for this council, we don’t have as many problems as we did three years ago so it is about moving forward,” Cr Manji said.

The Fendalton-Waimairi Community Board becomes the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board and the Shirley-Papanui Community Board becomes the PapanuiInnes Community Board.

Fendalton-WaimairiHarewood Community Board has four new faces joining two returning from last term.

Bridget Williams (4838) and David Cartwright (3935) were re-elected in the Fendalton Ward and will be joined by city councillor Jamie Gough who was elected unopposed.

Sam MacDonald (3398) and Shirish Paranjape (2840) will represent the Waimairi Ward.

The Papanui-Innes Community Board has one new-comer, Mr Stringer (2553) getting the nod in the Papanui Ward.

He will join former city councillor Ali Jones and Jo Byrne, who were elected unopposed, and Emma Norrish (3567), all of who were on the Shirley-Papanui Community Board last term.

Elections 2016

Templeton, Galloway new faces

By Annabelle Dick and Caitlin Miles SARA TEMPLETON and Anne Galloway are the new faces on the city council who will represent residents in south Christchurch.

Ms Templeton ousted Paul Lonsdale in the Heathcote Ward in the local body elections on Saturday, while Mrs Galloway won the new Halswell Ward by 97 votes over Chrys Horn.

Said Ms Templeton: “There were no expectations at all – I was hoping to win but I wouldn’t have stood for council if I didn’t think I could win. But I never expected that margin.”

Ms Templeton received 4059 votes, Mr Lonsdale 2474, and the other unsuccessful candidate, Malcolm Davis, received 477.

Mr Londsale was the only sitting councillor to miss out on being re-elected.

Ms Templeton said she was surprised with the result, but eager to get to work as a city councillor.

Ms Templeton was the HagleyFerrymead Community Board chairwoman for the last term and has campaigned hard in the

NEW ROLES: Sara Templeton (left) and Anne Galloway are two new faces around the city council table. new Heathcote Ward to join the council table.

Building communities and sustainability are the two key things she will focus on as a city councillor.

“We need communities that are thriving and connected to become more connected. People shopping locally and being connected is the more sustainable way for a city to be. There are

some communities that are really struggling and so we need to focus on those areas and at the same time enabling those that are well resourced to get on and do what they’re doing,” she said.

Mr Lonsdale was disappointed to be unseated after the work he’s done as councillor for the past six years and he believes votes may have been influenced.

“It was interesting how the result played out. I’ve received some information that there may have been some political influence in some of the results around the city.

Ms Templeton will also be the councillor on the Heathcote Ward of the Linwood-CentralHeathcote Community Board.

Dr Darrell Latham and Dr Tim Lindley will fill the two community board vacancies on the Heathcote Ward of the Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board.

Mrs Galloway went straight back to work at Rowley Ave School as part of her role with Family Help Trust, a role she will resign from to concentrate on her new job.

She has been coordinator of the learning programme for five years but before that she spent a year in London working with primary school children who had been expelled from school.

Caroma Cleanflush® AT EdwArd Gibbon For 75 years Caroma has been setting the standard in bathrooms, especially in toilet innovation.

Elections 2016 [Edition datE]

Chairwoman loses Election

Phil Clearwater

Yani Johanson

• From page 31 It is a big change for Mrs Galloway, who is aligned with political group The People’s Choice, but the reason she made the change was primarily because of her grandchildren.

“They were a big part of my motivation, I want my grandchildren to have the best they can,” Mrs Galloway said.

She and husband Hamish have three adult children, Mathew, Sam and Megan, who live and work around the country and three grandchildren, Lila, Smith and Bella.

Mrs Galloway was born in Christchurch and raised in Hoon Hay and while the area falls out of the new ward boundary she said she has been making connections with the wider Halswell community.

Tim Scandrett

While Mrs Galloway is aligned with The People’s Choice she will not hesitate to speak up during city council meetings if she feels strongly about an issue.

“If I feel strongly for something I will voice that,” she said.

Mrs Galloway said she has a motivation to make the city more youth and child friendly and to give the community more say in the development of the area.

“It’s important to me that we strengthen our community’s connection with the city,” she said.

Meanwhile, city councillor Yani Johanson was re-elected with 3078 votes, with Phil Clearwater winning the Spreydon Ward with 3883 votes.

Tim Scandrett was elected unopposed to the Cashmere Ward.

By Fraser Walker-Pearce GRASSROOTS politics in the eastern suburbs will have a new leader for the next three years.

Andrea Cummings has been ousted by voters, meaning the Coastal-Burwood Community Board will have a new chairperson.

Ms Cummings had been chairwoman of the BurwoodPegasus Community Board but she failed to get a seat on the new board, losing out to Kim Money and Tim Sintes.

Under the new ward and community board system, one chairperson will be chosen from the Coastal and Burwood members.

Mr Sintes received 3892 votes, Ms Money, 2978, and Ms Cummings, 2686. Mr Sintes, Ms Money and city councillor David East make up the Coastal ward’s elected members.

In the city council race, Cr East received 2927 votes, ahead of Jo Kane, 1855, and Dean Lester, 941.

The Burwood ward will consist of city councillor Glenn Livingstone, who received 4771 votes, Tim Baker, 4216, and Linda Stewart, 3484.

Ms Stewart, who lives outside the ward in Rangiora, also stood for the Rangiora-Ashley ward – a part of the Waimakariri District Council, but was unsuccessful at gaining a seat.

Cr Livingstone received the most votes for any city council candidate.

He is looking to prioritise roading and footpaths, as they are in “a shocking state”.

“For New Brighton this is the doing term . . . if I was reaching for the stars at top of pyramid, I’d be looking at what the future of the red zone is,” he said.

Cr East wants to “address the visual appearance” of New Brighton and South New Brighton, and in the long term will push New Brighton’s legacy projects forward, “particularly the hot salt water pools.”

City councillor Yani Johanson retained his seat for the Linwood ward which covers Avonside, Bromley, Linwood and North Linwood, beating nearest competition Alexandra Davids by 1400 votes.

Ms Davids does make it onto the Linwood-Central-Heathcote, alongside long-term local body politician Brenda Lowe-Johnson.

Gardening Gardening Advice

with

QUESTION

Be in to win an PRIZE PACK!

ANSWER

Tomatoes are delicious straight out of the garden.

There are numerous varieties available to suit your tastes and garden; from miniature cherry tomatoes to large eating varieties like beefsteak or money maker.

$80

Congratulations!

I have an Abutilon Tree (Chinese Lantern) that I bought and planted 18 months ago. It Today’s winning question came flowered lovely the first year, now it is very from Doris Baxendale spindly and not looking so good. What can I do to feed it so it will flower again? Also, I have an avocado tree which I managed to grow from seed, it is in a medium size pot and looks like it may need a bigger pot. What would you suggest as to planting and caring for it?

Abutilon, commonly known as the Chinese Lantern plant, only flower on new season’s growth and therefore require significant pruning immediately after flowering has finished. Pruning involves the removal of at least one third of all growth and on some vigorous specimens, even more. Abutilon can also be thinned as they become very dense as the plants mature. This thick internal growth produces very few flowers.

A light side dressing of Daltons Goldcote Landscape & Garden Fertiliser in spring will help maintain strong vigorous growth.

Are you growing your avocado tree from a stone for purely ornamental reasons?

The chances of picking fruit from your tree are very minimal. This is because to successfully grow avocado trees that produce fruit, it must be grafted, whether it’s hass, fuerte, zutano or reed varieties. Visit your local garden centre and purchase a grafted hass avocado tree. Hass is the best variety for home gardens as it is self fertile eg: it does not require pollination from another avocado tree.

For plump juicy tomatoes, water plants well and feed them regularly with Daltons incredible edibles® Tomato Fertiliser.

Avocados are very large trees with an extensive root system, so it’s not ideal to grow them in a container no matter how big it is. Avocados are also very frost tender, and it may not be feasible to plant them in the garden in Christchurch at the risk of being damaged by frost.

Gardening Guide Companion Planting Generally, when we think of companion planting, the old favourites of nasturtiums, marigolds and pyrethrum come to mind, but what you may not realise is how many herbs are the perfect companions in the garden for attracting beneficial insects while deterring the nasties.

Borage is a magnificent pollinator plant attracting bees and butterflies. Plant with tomatoes and strawberries to improve the flavour of the fruit.

Coriander and Tansy attract ahoverflies, which are an important natural defence against aphids. Tansy also deters fruit fly as does basil, making them especially beneficial among peaches and apricots.

Dill attracts bees and deters white butterfly.

Fennel has yellow flowers that attract hoverflies, which prey on aphids.

“I love it so much. I love to sit in my sun room and stare out at my garden. I used to do a lot in our old houses before moving here. I’m always at the garden shop looking at what else I can put in, “ she said.

The McKays will transform their garden for the summer season and have entered the Summer Garden Competition set for February next year.

They are also high-profile horse breeders who own a number of race-winning horses.

Mint confuses pests that often affect carrots, tomatoes, onions and brassicas. Remember mint is invasive however, so plant into a large container.

Thyme should be incorporated with roses, because the strong fragrance deters blackfly.

You can also steep the leaves to make a tea, then spray over the leaves of the cabbage to prevent whitefly.

Wormwood is ideal for deterring aphids and beetles. It also attracts hoverflies, lacewings and ladybirds with their lovely yellow flowers. Did you know one ladybird can eat more than 50 aphids in one day?

Exploring Vanuatu after the

By Mike Yardley

SCULPTED WITH lagoons and islets, and flanked by vertiginous emerald hillsides, Port Vila’s photogenic setting is one of the best in the South Pacific.

Ripe for exploration, I was staggered to learn that the majority of visitors to Vanuatu merely spend a day in the country, arriving and departing by cruise ship.

Last year, more than 200,000 of Vanuatu’s 300,000 tourists were cruise passengers, in port for the day. Cruising is a great way to get a fleeting taste for a place, but Vila’s spoil of draws more than warrant a fully-fledged holiday.

Colonial vestiges add texture, with faded French architecture speckling the city centre and adding zest to its café scene. The French Quarter proper, stretches to the north from central Vila, including Sacre Coeur Cathedral and a clutch of gorgeous colonial-style houses with woodenlouvred windows.

But Port Vila is irrepressibly a South Pacific city. Directly across the waterfront, the landmark Iririki Resort has been resplendently

rebuilt, following the pounding it took from Cyclone Pam. More than 400 people were employed in the reconstruction

of this iconic resort, which you can easily access via the free ferry which beetles across the waterway, around the clock.

From early morning Monday through to noon on Saturday, Vila Market is a colourful, frenetic emporium of fresh

produce, handicrafts and trading verve, in the heart of town.

It’s the go-to destination to bag some rock-bottom priced produce to build your own picnic.

Coconuts, pawpaw and gargantuan-sized grapefruit are a steal.

Seasonal treats include wild raspberries in September and succulent mangoes go on sale from November. Fresh passionfruit hits its prime between March and May. You can also sample some local eats with the market dining, whereby ladies whip up enticing bites like herb-coated fish with rice, while you wait.

Don’t bother bargaining here – it’s not the done thing. Prices are fixed and clearly marked. For a ringside seat on Vila’s watery charms, with unobstructed views across to Iririki, take a seat at Le Café du Village, a local institution, which oozes Mediterranean-style charm.

Now under the command of Simon Truman, this blue and white landmark eatery serves up an expansive and cosmopolitan menu, spanning European and Asian specialties, to suit all tastes.

devastation of Cyclone Pam

Favourites include the Thai beef salad, Spanish seafood soup, pork and prawn spring rolls, and lobster. It’s an ideal place to relish local seafood and Vanuatu’s famed organic beef. Also on the cuisine front, if you get the chance to wrap your laughing gear around coconut crab, when in season, go for it. A meaty, flavoursome variety of crab and utterly revered in Vanuatu. You should also try the national dish, laplap, which is a mix of taro roots and yams grated into a doughy paste. That’s slathered on taro, soaked in coconut cream and added to meat or fish.

One of Vanuatu’s finest tasting

fish is poulet. It’s like a red snapper – very fleshy, not oily and very few bones. Plus, if you’re feeling particularly adventurous, you can always sample fruit bat.

I declined.

Heading north from Port Vila, the island’s mountainous coastal ring road offers up lush and scenic vistas and a cross-hatch of village life snapshots. (A full circumference of Efate takes three hours.) The roadside lookout from Klem’s Hill (200m high) is a standout.

I passed by a local school, where children attend classes in United Nations tents, while their school building repairs await

working from the 1960s to the 1980s, for the New Zealand’s Woman’s Weekly and the Auckland Star. She published numerous cookbooks and her autobiography.

Now Flower is using her experience to reveal the history of the iconic Kiwi dish - the bacon and egg pie - to promote World Egg Day tomorrow.

She is working with Eggs Incorporated, which is run by her long-time friend Vikki Lee Goode and promotes the many benefits of eating eggs.

Eggs Inc asked food historian and University of Otago professor Helen Leach to look into the bacon and egg pie’s history in NZ. Leach found the dish seemed to take hold here with a recipe found in The Wanganui Cookery Book’s 1928 edition and made it’s way into the Edmonds Cookbook in 1955.

The oldest recipe she found was in 1769 The Experienced English Housekeeper by businesswoman Elizabeth Raffald.

Leach thinks that while the name of the English ‘egg and bacon pie’ recipe may have flipped en route to New Zealand, the ingredients and cooking method have changed little in the centuries since.

“Somewhere along the way the title of the recipe has changed to ‘bacon and egg’ pie. The original Edmonds recipe is quite similar to Elizabeth’s recipe though, with the addition of diced onion, an enclosed pastry case and the absence of a pint of cream.”

Flower, who has used a fair few eggs in her lifetime, thinks the success of the bacon and egg pie is testament to the two ingredients marrying so well together.

“Bacon and eggs have been eaten for breakfast for generations. It’s a taste people just enjoy.”

But you’ve got to put love into the recipe or it won’t turn out right, said Flower.

“If you don’t want to cook you’re the person that’s going to sling a minimum of effort on the table at night.”

“If you don’t like doing it you may as well just buy it.”

The bacon and egg pie is a relatively modern adaption of pies, Flower said.

Her mother’s recipe was very simple. She just lined the dish with pastry, cracked eggs into it followed by bits of bacon then closed up the top with another sheet of pastry. Now there’s no limit to the variations.

Cracking the eggs whole into the pie is a distinctly New Zealand version whereas British recipes advise whipping the egg mixture.

Cooking used to be simple and a lot of ingredients we take for granted weren’t around in those days. Flower and her friends told how you had to have a prescription for heart problems to buy margarine and olive oil was found at the chemist.

• Eggs Incorporated will give away two My Pie prize kits which include a year’s supply of eggs, a pie dish, tea towels and cooking utensils. Entrants need to send in their take on a bacon and egg pie to eggs.org.nz. Entries close on October 28.

Winners will be chosen by random draw.

Be careful what you feed pets PET OWNERS are being reminded that sharing leftovers with their furry friends isn’t always the best thing for their health.

Southern Cross says it’s a time for owners to reflect on the eating habits they force on their cats and dogs.

More than 10 per cent of dogs and 15 per cent of cats are overweight in New Zealand, according to Southern Cross pet insurance research.

More than three quarters of dog owners and more than half of cat owners said they fed their pets leftovers from dinner.

Six per cent of dog owners were happy to give Spot a lick of their ice cream and three per cent of cat owners shared their chocolate treats with their pet.

Southern Cross boss Anthony McPhail said while puppy dog eyes could be hard to resist, it was important the 52 per cent of New Zealanders who own pets realised the dangers of being over generous around mealtime.

“This is a worry as there are a lot of human foods that cats and dogs aren’t able to eat – things like onions and chocolate for example – are actually poisonous.

The Southern Cross survey was conducted by TNS online amongst 2006 randomly selected New Zealanders.

And they are off . . .

WHEN LUCK’S on your side, you’ve gotta take it. Only several weeks before our twins turned three, a new pre-school opened a mere 500m from our house.

Perfect timing, and perfect location, as it’s also situated along the scoot-route to their Big Sister’s school.

We jumped at the chance to enrol them, and the centre was happy for us to have a one week trial before we made our final decision.

The teachers were kind and welcoming, and as the centre had just opened, the roll was low.

In fact, our two made up half of the four children registered. For that reason, the twins received a lot of attention, which facilitated a strong connection with their teachers from the get-go.

For the first few visits, we stayed, chatted with staff, and slowly became part of the furniture. But soon enough, it was their first official day of going solo. Suffice to say, this was tough – not just for them, but for me too. I stayed for the first hour to settle them in, and once they were happily engaged in an activity, I was politely encouraged to leave.

But when they saw me go, there was the inevitable crying and clinging to the legs. As hard as it was for them, it felt horrific for me. With tears flowing, I left. Although I had confidence

Melissa McDonnell

that the staff would console and care for them, I nevertheless told a teacher that I would park at the gate and return on foot to surreptitiously check-in through the side window. After all, this was the first time I had ever dropped the twins to anyone else (apart from relatives), and so I wasn’t entirely sure how it would go.

But, in the three minutes it took to return to the centre, the girls had settled and were playing happily with their

teachers.

With my mind at ease and heart warmed, I watched for a further five minutes as they supported and guided each other from one activity to another. I guess that’s the perk of being a twin – they will always have each other.

With that, I realised I had three hours to fill . . . without kids. What to do?

Of course, there was loads of washing and mountains of housework, but I instead, I de-

cided to do nothing.

For the first time in my sevenyear parenting career, I was officially “off-the-clock”. With all four children in care and hubby at work, it was the start of a new era.

Yet as I sat on the sofa and watched trash TV, I felt quite nostalgic. I soon found myself willing the time to hit midday so I could collect them. After all, they’re (two) of my (four) best mates – and I missed them terribly!

When I arrived at the centre, I felt like a rock star. I was bowled over with hugs, kisses and chat, and they were full of pride as they excitedly showed me their artful creations.

As anticipated, drop-offs for the rest of the week were met with tears and pleas for me not to go. Inevitably, however, the drama lessened each time I went to leave, and their enthusiasm evident as they settled in to enjoy their new routine.

Now four weeks into it, they look forward to their three mornings a week. They proudly don their backpacks, skip inside to hug their teachers, and happily wave me out the door.

And most importantly, they are happy. Although I miss my little buddies being at my side, I couldn’t have hoped for a better start.

Fashion Get the latest summer look Annabelle Dick checks out spring and summer trends THEY WORKED at school, but will they work in the office?

Culottes have made a heroic comeback over the past year and they’re not going away anytime soon. From Kendall Jenner to Victoria Beckham, everybody seems to be rocking the schoolyard trend.

While switching your skinny jeans to culottes may seem like a bit of a stretch, these wide-legged cropped pants are pretty easy to pull off when worn right.

Once you own a pair, you’ll find they’re practically interchangeable with your favourite black denims.

If your culottes are plain, steer towards something more playful up top to really balance out your look. And if your culottes are the star of the show, keep your top half neutral.

Pair plain culottes with a crisp

blouse and a pair of mules for a work-ready look.

If you’re looking to integrate cropped pants into your everyday wardrobe, culottes will go perfectly with a playful top like seen on the beautiful Olivia Culpo.

But it’s not sweater weather any longer so it’s time to pull out the old faithfuls lurking in the back of your wardrobe for another season, or head to the shops for a wardrobe rejuvenation.

Here are some other looks you should get into, just in time for the warmer weather.

Theatre/Arts McCormack returns home

By Georgia O’Connor-Harding IF YOU told a 20-year-old Ross McCormack he would tour to New York with four dance companies, he never would have believed you.

But now at 38, the city’s own dance prodigy will return home to share his theatrical creation.

McCormack will come back to his grassroots to perform his production of Triumphs and Other Alternatives.

The former St Bede’s College student, has led a whirlwind career performing for esteemed dance companies overseas including Les Ballets C de la B based in Belgium.

In fact it was Les Ballets C de la B along with companies Chunky Move, Lucy Guerin Inc and Australian Dance Theatre that took McCormack to New York four times – one of his proudest achievements.

The show Triumphs themes around a “Maker” character played by McCormack, building his “creations”– dancers Emily Adams and James Vu Anh Pham.

Since premiering in Wellington last year, the show toured around places including Auckland, Nelson and Brisbane.

The idea was ignited while living in Belgium when McCormack used to cycle through the industrial part of the city past a series of workshops.

“It made me think of perfectionists and how we all have that ability to love and hate what we are doing. Destroy it and let

CREATIVE: Director, choreographer and dancer Ross McCormack will return to the city as the Maker in his own production of Triumphs and Other Alternatives. ​

it destroy us and then celebrate it and give it away,” he said.

It was during his reign of Triumphs when the toughest moment in his career emerged.

McCormack was about to start a weeklong season of his show in Sydney when he tore his calve at Bondi Beach the night before the opening of the show.

As well as cancelling the show he had to pull out of a contract with Les Ballets C de la B, which by that stage he had been dancing with for about a decade.

“All I could think of was what I had lost. My own tour in Sydney with my own company which was you know very hard to get your own work out of the country,”

said two people in the city “really reached out” to him and encouraged him to pursue dance.

Those people was former Royal Zealand Ballet dancer Greer Robertson and Hagley Dance Company tutor Fleur de Thier.

• Triumphs and Other Alternatives will be performed at the Isaac Theatre Royal on October 18. To book tickets go to http:// premier.ticketek.co.nz

he said.

But it wasn’t long until McCormack was recovered and back touring with his company in Brisbane earlier this year.

A former builder in the city, McCormack was a late bloomer in dance describing himself like any other young man in the city.

“I couldn’t even tell the difference between dancing at a club and having a really good time,” he said.

He wasn’t your typical “party animal”.

“I would buy a bottle of pump water and I have no idea why . . . I guess I thought this is going out, this is clubbing.

Before getting accepted into the New Zealand School of Dance, McCormack

10 diet tips backed by science

EACH AND every day there are headlines screaming the benefits of various diet and exercise regimes.

Go Paleo, cut the carbs, fast occasionally or do a juice cleanse are just a few of the more recent diet trends to do the rounds.

But when it comes to what the evidence shows are sustainable ways to lose weight and keep it off, the results can be a little sparse when it comes to proving the benefits of these regimes long term.

Here are some of the strategies that science shows do work when it comes to long term weight loss success.

1 Eat less at night for weight loss While it is often debated by health professionals, there is growing evidence to show that eating less at night, or at least having relatively long periods overnight without food is beneficial when it comes to weight loss.

A recent study published in the British Journal of Nutrition found that healthy men who restricted their calorie intake between the hours of 7pm and 6am consumed more than 200 fewer calories per day. The moral of the story, eat for fewer hours each day to support

calorie control and weight loss.

2. Eat like the Italians Of all the dietary regimes sprouted, few, if any have the scientific evidence base that supports disease prevention and longevity the way the Mediterranean diet does.

Packed full of fresh fruit, vegetables and plenty of good fats thanks to lashings of olive oil, nuts and avocado, not only is your heart likely to be healthier eating this way, but your risk of developing a number of other diseases.

3 Watch your liquid calories Few foods are directly linked to weight gain the way soft drinks, juices and other sources of nonnutritive liquid calories are.

High sugar liquids deposit fat in the liver more readily than other foods and are easily overconsumed. Any time you see sugar in a liquid form, you are best to avoid it.

4 Concentrate on eating Studies have repeatedly shown the benefits of mindful eating, including fewer total calories consumed, increased satiety and less calories consumed at the next meal.

This means it is time to ditch lunch in front of the computer for

a few minutes and instead focus on what you are eating.

5 Focus on fibre Another old school dietary approach that many of us continue to ignore is getting enough fibre.

Many of us are failing to reach the recommended intake thanks to an inadequate consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables. Instead, we are over indulging in more processed carbs, such as white bread, white rice and pasta.

Adults should aim for 30g of dietary fibre each day through 2-3 cups salad and vegetables, a couple of pieces of fruit and wholegrains like corn, brown rice,

quinoa and legumes.

6 Ditch the diet drinks While diet soft drinks may appear to be a healthier option, and while they may contain no added sugar, they remain an exceptionally sweet food and one that is linked to increased hunger, sweet cravings and hormonal issues.

For this reason, consuming them occasionally rather than thinking they are a good swap for regular soft drink is the key.

7 Sleep more The more you sleep, the fewer hours there are to eat. When it comes to chronic sleep deprivation, getting less than five hours

a night of shut eye is linked to increased body weight likely due to hormonal imbalances which can be impacted by lack of sleep.

8 Be consistent No diet needs to be perfect to get good results. Data from the US Weight Control Registry – which tracks the progress of more than 5000 Americans who have lost more than 15kg and kept it off – has shown that consistency is the key when it comes to weight control.

9 Keep moving Exercise is great but even more important is the need to keep active. The biggest shift in modern life is that we find ourselves sitting down for many hours each day. In turn this means we need to clock up some serious steps in an attempt to counter act these long periods of inactivity.

10 Get enough protein Diets higher in protein have been shown to help regulate appetite, blood glucose levels and heart disease risk factors.

As a general rule of thumb, teaming each meal with a combo of slowly digested carbs such as wholegrains or fruit with a protein rich food is an easy dietary mantra. Try tuna on crackers, Greek yoghurt and fruit.

Sunny Ruby: Be patient

By Matt Markham THE EQUATION with Sunny Ruby these days is pretty simple, be patient and then be patient a little bit longer.

Do that and the camp behind arguably the fastest trotter over 100m in the country is going to be a big force in any race she lines up in for the remainder of the season. Don’t do it though and you run the risk of things going wrong.

“Not much seems to go right for us when we drive her different than with a sit,” trainer Sam Smolenski said.

“But her speed is her best weapon so we better utilise it.”

A stunning fresh up winner earlier in the season, Sunny Ruby went off the boil slightly in her next three starts but it was more Smolenski trying to figure out a few things than the horse not putting in 100 per cent.

He changed her work schedule at home, increasing the tempo of her work which seems to be doing the trick.

“I’ve been working her pretty hard, just to take that freshness out of her that can often see her get pretty keen.

“We seem to be getting some-

where which is good.”

Sunny Ruby put all her eggs in a row on Friday night at Addington when she burst over the top of Alley Way and Amaretto Sun to win the Group Three Canterbury Park Trotting Cup. It was vintage Sunny Ruby combined with a heady drive from Gavin Smith who waited until almost the last possible

moment to get her into the clear before she charged to the line.

Smolenski is looking at both Cup Week features with the mare and all going well she will contest both.

He’s also got the advantage of the pull down blinds up his sleeve which he’s quite keen to keep in ice until the Dominion Handicap.

Meanwhile, Jack Harrington’s short, but impressive, training career may complete another first this season.

The rising star of the training ranks may make his North Island debut later in the season with his exciting trotter Hey Yo who was victorious again on Friday night.

The Northern Breeders Trotting Stakes later on in the year is on the agenda for the deceptively fast wee trotter.

“I’d love to take her up there, it’s a good option because there won’t be a lot down here for her at that time of the year,” Harrington said.

“We probably won’t see her until Cup Day now, she’s had a pretty busy time of it so we will just take it easy and maybe look to a trial.”

Harrington watched from the stand as Robbie Holmes handled the driving duties on Friday night and Holmes timed his run to perfection after copping a bit of a shuffle up the markers with plenty of lead changes.

But once clear she stormed to the line to win with a plenty in store.

Forgotten horse may surprise

By Matt Markham ONE OF the forgotten horses of the open class pacing ranks this season is chipping away quite nicely.

The Tim Butt trained pacer, Field Marshal, who has come back as a five-year-old in splendid order, may put himself in the spotlight in the next couple of weeks with a surprise twist in his preparation potentially on the horizon.

A little frustrated with workouts and trials that equate to nothing more than a sprint home, Butt is toying with the idea of lining the three-time group one winner up in the Ashburton Flying Stakes – but nothing is confirmed yet.

“I’ll have to have a chat with the owners first, but it is a possibility.

We would gain a lot more out of going to a race like that than returning to the workouts and trials. He can just be driven quietly and get a good run under his belt before Cup Week,” Butt said.

He looked on song when he won at the Ashburton workouts recently beating Piccadilly Princess and Dream About Me. - Harnessed Media

NRL stars make Kiwis WARRIORS centre Solomone Kata and Canberra winger Jordan Rapana have taken unlikely routes to the Kiwis jersey, but both demanded selection after standout NRL seasons this year.

Kata and Rapana will make their New Zealand debuts in Perth on Saturday against Australia, the uncapped duo among seven changes to the side that lost 16-0 to the Kangaroos in May. New coach David Kidwell has been quick to stamp his mark, naming a team with power and size across the park.

Roosters enforcer Jared Waerea-Hargreaves is the other notable inclusion, returning to the Kiwis for the first time since the 2013 World Cup. Hooker Issac Luke is also back, after missing out on the test in Newcastle due to his indifferent form at the Warriors.

But the rise of Kata and Rapana are the most compelling stories. Kata only made his first grade debut at the start of last season, but has established himself as one of the most solid centres in the NRL. The 23-yearold, who arrived in New Zealand from Tonga on a rugby scholarship in 2011, scored 15 tries in 21

SELECTION: Solomone Kata in action for the Warriors. games this season and averaged 113 running metres per match.

Rapana made his NRL debut for the Titans in 2008, before leaving professional sport for a two year Mormon mission. He returned to the NRL in 2013 – after a stint in Super Rugby – and scored 23 tries this season at Canberra, equal top in the competition and a Raiders record.

Thomas Leuluai and Shaun Johnson pair up in the halves while Kidwell has opted for four forwards on the bench, with Manu Ma’u and Lewis Brown to provide injury cover in the

backline. Jesse Bromwich will captain the Kiwis for the second time.

World Cup tickets go on sale from $20 LEAGUE FANS will be able to see the Kiwis play at next year’s World Cup from as little as $20, with the ticket pricing for the tournament released yesterday.

Event organisers are aiming to fill the stadiums across New Zealand, Australia and Papua New Guinea, with the most competitive pricing for a major sporting event on these shores in recent memory.

Supporters could see all five Kiwis matches in this country (assuming New Zealand make the semi-finals) for slightly less than the cost of a single category D ticket to a Lions-All Blacks test next year.

It might not be a strictly likefor-like comparison, but the cheapest Lions test tickets are around 270 per cent more expensive than the most economical ticket to the League World Cup semifinal in Auckland on November 25.

Tickets for the pool games in New Zealand, where the Kiwis will play Samoa (October 28, Auckland), Scotland (November 4, Christchurch) and Tonga (November 11, Hamilton), start from

$20, with the cheapest family tickets priced at $45.

Tickets go on sale at noon today.

In contrast, single tickets for the Lions test matches next year range from $149 (for Category D) to $449 for the best seats in the house. The Lions’ five matches against Super Rugby teams are priced from $49 to $129, while tickets for the clash with the Maori All Blacks will cost from $59 to $149.

Seven of the 28 World Cup matches are in New Zealand, with three Kiwis’ pool games and the Pacific clash between Tonga and Samoa in Hamilton.

Christchurch and Wellington both stage quarter-finals, before the semifinal at Mt Smart.

“Our number one priority was to set ticket prices that represented great value for money and made the tournament an accessible event for everyone,” said 2017 World Cup CEO Andrew Hill.

Hill added that fans should move quickly to secure “the best seats at the best value”, as there are a limited numbers of tickets in the cheaper categories.

Young golfers’ top 10 finish

By Gordon Findlater CANTERBURY’S TOM Parker and Amelia Garvey continued their fine form this year, both securing top 10 finishes at the Srixon International Junior Classic in Australia.

Parker experienced his first international victory earlier in the year winning the South Pacific Junior Open in New Caledonia.

The 16-year-old shot 75 in his opening round in New South Wales last week before firing rounds of 74 and 77 to sit outside the top 10 going into the final day.

The Christchurch Golf Club player saved his best for last, shooting 72 in the final round to finish the boys’ championship in eighth.

Garvey, who in 2014 became the second youngest player to compete in the New Zealand Women’s Open, has also had plenty of international exposure this year. She joined Parker at the World Stars of Junior Golf tournament in Las Vegas this July.

The 16-year-old got off to a slow start at the Cypress Lakes Golf and Country

SUCCESS: Amelia Garvey and Tom Parker both had top 10 finishes at the Srixon International Junior Classic at Cypress Lakes, Australia. ​

Club last week, shooting an opening round of 78.

However, she recovered to shoot 74 in both the second and third rounds. The Kaiapoi Golf Club player also saved her best for the fourth round. She shot a 71 to finish the girls’ championship in sixth.

The result wasn’t the only highlight for the Burnside High School student. She took out the longest drive event held before the opening round of the tournament. A drive of 242m saw her win the girls’ division in comfortable fashion.

Garvey’s attention will now turn to the next round of The Charles Tour.

She begins the first round of the John Jones Steel Women’s Open at Harewood Golf Club today. Her first win on the tour came in May when she won the Muriwai Open in West Auckland.

Fuel-friendly Toyota Corolla hybrid

By Ross Kiddie MY SUSPICIONS have been confirmed – I’m not an economical driver.

How did I come to this conclusion? Well, Toyota New Zealand invited me to the launch of the new Corolla hybrid, and the event was held at Feilding’s Manfeild Autocourse facility.

As a group of journalists we were tasked with the challenge of driving the vehicles around the track, and obstacles, against the clock for a set distance, yet trying to achieve the most economical fuel usage result.

While my figures were mid-field and a lot better than some of the group, the winners had results vastly better than mine.

There was some conjecture as to the method some drivers used to achieve winning figures, but the reality is that even though I thought I was being light-footed, I wasn’t.

What the exercise served to prove is that the Corolla hybrid can be made a very economical car to drive.

Toyota rate it with a 4.1litre per 100km (69mpg) combined cycle average, which was close to where my Manfeild figure sat.

On my home turf and after driving the car for four days, the trip computer was listing a 6l/100km (47mpg) average when I took it back to the dealership. Those, along with a 4l/100km instantaneous figure when cruising the open road speed limit, are good results for a vehicle which will be sold on the basis that it is a fuel miser.

The hybrid sits near the top of the Corolla range, joining the seven-model line-up at $38,490, bearing in mind that the range starts at $31,990 and ends at $41,990. The hybrid is GLX-based, which means it doesn’t get all the specification items that are offered in other variants, but it does get a reasonable level of fitment which will satisfy those who want a car where economy

TOYOTA COROLLA: Hybrid technology borrowed from Prius.

is more important that status.

Based around the mechanicals which have made Prius a household word in terms of hybrid technology, the Corolla hybrid utilises a 1.8-litre petrol engine coupled to the Synergy system which transfers drive though a continuously variable automatic transmission.

• Price – Toyota Prius, $47,490 • Dimensions – Length, 4540mm; width, 1760mm; height, 1475mm • Configuration – Fourcylinder, front-wheeldrive, 1798cc, 90kW, 142Nm, CVT. • Performance – 0-100km/h, 11sec • Fuel usage – 3.4l/100km

The combination develops a total of around 100kW and 142Nm, varying at any given time depending on whether the engine is active and/or batteries are supplying the drive.

Of course, electric propulsion is the ultimate aim, and if situations allowed, that would be the case but, of course, battery capacity is constantly exhausted, and as a vehicle it is required to accelerate and maintain momentum, which is why the petrol engine operates at will.

However, hybrid systems are here to stay, and until there are alternative technologies in place it is the best option for those whose welfare of the environment is a major car FAMILIAR: Visually, there is little difference between the hybrid Corolla and the rest of the series.

buying factor.

When it comes time to tackle a quick corner or two it steers with precision and reacts favourably to steering input. If you also take into account that the batteries create a more even front/rear weight distribution, body balance is controlled, and there is just gentle movement over the suspension.

The latter is a fully independent type which is in contrast to the tube beam system of its nonhybrid stablemates. I’ve long been an advocate of independent rear suspension, and the double-wishbone system of the hybrid is absorbent yet allows wheel freedom which is translated into control under load.

The tyres are a low rolling resistance Michelin compound (205/55 x 16in), nevertheless, they have enough grip on offer to combat gravitational force under pressure, and offer substantial steering feel for the driver.

The Corolla hybrid can’t be considered a quick car, but it will return a standstill to 100km/h acceleration time of 11sec, which suggests that it is still has respectable speed for which we have come to expect from mainstream Corollas.

Toyota has a raft of hybrid models on the domestic market, and here in New Zealand we only get handful of variants with many of those coming via Lexus.

That being the case, the Corolla hybrid is an important car for Toyota New Zealand, and if you consider it sits neatly between Prius C ($29,990), Prius ($47,490) and Camry ($50,790), it is a tempting proposition for those who have come to embrace the hybrid concept, or for those who just want to experience it for the first time.

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.

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.

IS ACTUALLY REALLY HEAVY

OPENING NIGHT Labour Weekend SATURDAY 22 OCTOBER

AmPro Tools Woodford Glen Speedway is set to roar back to life for summer on the Saturday night of Labour Weekend, October 22nd. Opening the speedway season is the annual Moller Young NZ ‘trophy challenge’ which sees all eight of the Glen’s classes racing in what is always an action packed night of family entertainment.

Woodford Glen is special. It has an atmosphere that has evolved from a long history and tradition with third generation fans and competitors continually showing support. The bullring surroundings of the Glen bring a vitality and excitement to the entertainment it provides – the thunder and vibrations of the engines and the colour and spectacle of highly polished race cars as they race under the lights of the oval.

With nineteen shows scheduled to run from October 22nd through to April, fans will be treated to another summer of fun the whole family will enjoy. It’s always hard to pin point the best shows but the Annual Fireworks Extravaganza show is a must see as is the crazy Ramp Race Demo Derby which is held every Boxing Day. Both of these shows are a sellout, so it is recommended to pre-buy your tickets at the AmPro Tools Woodford Glen Shop. Following on from these two great events the Glen will also be hosting the New Zealand Modified Grand Prix, South Island Super Saloon, Modified and SuperStock Champs.

Woodford Glen Speedway still offers the best value for money family entertainment in the Canterbury region. We understand and listen to our fans and this is once again reflective in the admission prices for the 2016-2017 season. A fun night out for the whole family is just $40 which includes entry for two adults and up to four children (14years and under). Additional children are only $5 with under 5’s free. An adult ticket is only $20 whilst senior citizens pay just $10.

True ‘die hard fans’ who take advantage of our season pass options will get to watch three of our shows for free! That’s right, three shows for Free! Get on down to the Woodford Glen Shop and take advantage of this great deal today!

Adults $20 Pensioners $15 with gold card Family $40 (2 adults & 4 children under 15) Accompanied children under 15 years $10.

Infants under 5 FREE. (Sorry, no EFTPOS)

Words by Victoria Tait, September STYLE Magazine SITUATED directly opposite the stunning New Brighton Pier, The Pier View Restaurant is a top quality eatery that’s popular with both locals and tourists alike. With a delicious, a la carte menu along with chef specials, there is something for everyone at this beautiful location. The restaurant is well known for its famous Sunday threecourse special and great food at very reasonable prices.

The main menu has New Zealand classics with an international influence and European treats. For a starter, try the smoke salmon and Parmesan risotto balls with fried capers and balsamic glaze, or the sauteed chicken livers with shallots and orange pepper sauce.

For the main affair, hugely popular is the slow-cooked lamb shanks, dressed in a rosemary jus and served with green pea mash, crispy sea salt potatoes, caramelised onions and mint vinegar. For poultry lovers, the

scrumptious cashew-crusted chicken breast with chive mash, wilted spinach, asparagus and hollandaise sauce is scrumptious.

There is a selection of mouthwatering desserts including custardfilled crispy profiteroles coated in chocolate sauce and served with whipped cream and vanilla bean ice cream. Or, clean your palate with a serve of aged cheddar, onion ham, walnut bread and crackers.

The restaurant is available for function hire and makes a stunning setting for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries as well as work functions.

The chef can design a menu to suit your requirements, taste and budget.

Open Fridays, Saturday and Sundays from 5.30pm, the restaurant also offers Sunday brunch 10.30am to 2.30pm.
