Migrants drive down pay rates „„ By Gabrielle Stuart PAINTER BEN Creagh used to earn $43 an hour.

Now he can’t get a full-time job unless he accepts the minimum wage of $15.25 – and he isn’t prepared to do it.

Mr Creagh’s situation is similar to many others in Christchurch, trade unionists say, where overseas workers coming into the city for the rebuild are prepared to work for much less.

Latest statistics show that 1564 foreign workers came to Christchurch last year, more than a quarter of them unskilled under the Government rebuild worker scheme.

Employers have told Mr Creagh, 36, there are so many foreign workers willing to work cheaply, they won’t pay more. “It’s embarrassing. But basically, people aren’t willing to pay what tradies are worth,� he said.

Mr Creagh (left) said he lost his job about six months ago when work at the company which employed him dried up.

Since then he had been getting by on short contract jobs, but

with three children, he said that was a struggle.

In the past three years, 6292 foreign workers have been brought in to Christchurch to help with the rebuild.

But the number of Cantabrians on Jobseeker benefits has grown over that time, with about 1000 extra people signed up each year for the past three years.

There were 10,357 Cantabrians on Jobseeker benefits in December, with 4565 of those classed as “work-ready.�

E tu construction union organiser Ron Angel agreed many locals were struggling to compete against foreign workers for jobs. “Employers don’t have to pay Kiwisaver or retirement contributions, so that’s a three per cent saving right there. They can pay foreign workers less, because Kiwis want more and won’t work for minimum wage. And they don’t need to pay overtime, because overseas workers want as much work as they can get, so they will accept more hours without overtime pay,â€? he said. •Turn to page 7

Thursday March 9 2017 FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK

YOU HAVE to sympathise with Ben Creagh (see page 1).

He is caught up in a dilemma many tradies and others are currently facing – work for a lot less than they are used to.

Work is drying up in the city, particularly for painters, but the Government still has a relaxed policy for migrant workers coming for the rebuild.

Many of them are unskilled.

They will work for the minimum wage of $15.25 with no extra benefits on top, and they will work on call.

Ben is refusing to accept those pay rates and, as a result, he can’t get a full-time job.

Is that fair?

No luck so far I’m afraid in the hunt for Raewyn Wahnig’s stillborn son’s ashes (see page 4), stolen when her house was broken into.

If you know where they are, drop them at a police station or phone me (021 359 426), and we’ll get them home.

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST

TIME TO BUY TASTY GUIDE COOKIES

This week in history saw Riccarton Racecourse established on March 6, 1856. On the same day in 1914 the first point-to-point flight from Christchurch to Timaru took place. The pilot was J.W. H. Scotland. In the same year, Scotland had the dubious privilege of becoming the first pilot to crash in New Zealand. On March 7, 1925, the Cholmondeley Home for children (a gift by Hugh Heber Cholmondeley) opened at Governors Bay. On March 8, 1958, Christchurch athlete Marise Chamberlain (right) broke the world record for running 440 yards. On March 9, 1880, the first steam trams began operation from Cathedral Square to the railway station. On the same day in 1963 jazz trumpeter Louis Armstrong performed in Christchurch. On March 12-15, 1927, the Duke of York (later King George VI) visited the city.

IT’S THAT time of the year again.

GirlGuiding New Zealand’s 2017 biscuit selling season is under way. The biscuits have been sold for 60 years – with the recipe still pretty much the same since it was developed and sold in large square tins in 1957. Stalls will pop up all over the country, and door-to-door sales from pippins, brownies, guides and rangers will take place over the next four weeks.

Although the newer chocolate and mini biscuits are popular, the old favourites are still original.

“I know if anything happens to Trevor, I will be looked after.”

Judy and Trevor have recently moved into their Summerset retirement villa and say security was their main reason for the move.

Judy was originally concerned she’d find the move from their home difficult. “The transition was a breeze in the end.”

“LIFE’S SO RELAXED NOW.”

As well as the security they were after, they are enjoying the ease of life and sense of community at the village. “Everyone’s so friendly, every time you wander up the road, someone will stop for a chat.”

News Sick bed to City2Surf

By Gabrielle Stuart JUST A year ago, Leanne Crawford could barely walk, had lost 30kg, was constantly sick, and had to put both her work and her wedding on hold – and she had no idea what was going wrong.

This month, she will take on the 14km The Star City2Surf with Mike Pero Real Estate event, which she will walk, and she won’t be doing it alone.

Her partner, friends and many of the nurses who helped her get on her feet again plan to do the walk beside her – 41 people in total – raising money to help others with the same condition get treatment.

The 30-year-old began feeling sick in 2014, but initially doctors did not know what was wrong.

It took almost two years for her to be diagnosed and find a treatment, because she was facing a complex mix of parasites in her intestines, crohn’s disease and endometriosis.

For much of that time she couldn’t work, and she had to postpone her wedding three times.

“It was like my life was turned upside down. It was really, really frightening just not knowing what was going on,” she said.

After a Christchurch gastroenterology specialist, Steven Ding, diagnosed her problems, she has made a gradual recovery.

But she said it was only possible because of the help she received, and the diagnosis tools provided by the Canterbury Bowel and Liver Trust.

“The things that finally got me well cost a lot of money, so I wanted to give something back,” she said.

She has already raised almost $1500 through people sponsoring her run.

She said she had never done anything like the City2Surf before, and after being sick for so long being able to cross the finish line would feel like a giant victory.

“I’m sure there will be tears,” she said.

“I finally feel like I’ve got my life back. I can’t go for drinks or dinner like normal, but I am still able to work, which is amazing.”

She works for Bupa as an activity organiser, and said they held her job for her, in spite of the fact she was off work for three months.

She has also rescheduled her wedding, and plans to marry her partner of eight years, Craig Corboy, this December.

“I’m determined I’m going to get down the aisle this time,” she said.

$1000 REWARD Police are speaking to a witness who said he saw a vehicle in a Burwood paddock where a horse was attacked and needed to be destroyed. Gus, a seven-year-old standardbred, had to be shot by a police officer after he was found badly injured at about 5am on February 18. Owner Karina Romeyn said she has passed on the details of a man who came forward and said he saw a vehicle chasing the horse on the morning Gus was found hurt. She has offered $1000 on top of $278 raised on a Givealittle page to be given to anyone who has information that leads to a conviction. Information can be sent to karinaromeyn@ outlook.com, phone 363 7400 or report anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

JELLYFISH WARNING Blue bottle jellyfish have been washing up on the city’s beaches over the last week. The jellyfish make a regular appearance during summer, and the city council’s coastal park rangers are warning people to stay away from them to avoid being stung. Head ranger Kelly Hansen said they had received reports of them from Sumner to North Beach. Blue bottles have venomous tentacles which sting, and leave red welts on the skin.

BID TO REPLANT RESERVE THe Summit Road Society is calling for donations and other community support to help with restoring Ohinetahi Reserve, which lost about 80ha in the recent Port Hills fire. People wishing to fund new trees at $10 each can donate via www. summitroadsociety.org.nz or https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/ ohinetahireserve. The society has already ordered thousands of plants. People are also needed to help collect this season’s seed from suitable Port Hills’ plants so it can be sown this winter.

For more information phone the society on 326 3035 or email summitroadsocietysecretary@ gmail.com

Fear that son’s ashes may be gone for good

By Julia Evans SHATTERED Raewyn Wahnig is resigned to the fact she may never get her stillborn son’s ashes back.

The ashes were taken during a burglary of her Linwood house two weeks ago.

Police appear to have a few clues to finding the culprit. But desperate public appeals for help have not brought any leads.

Mrs Wahnig just wants someone to tell her where they are.

“Even if we just got a note that says he’s in the bin, give up hope. They can’t just say nothing, someone must know something,” she said.

Their biggest fear was that Thomas had been dumped somewhere, but now they only want to find out the truth.

Mrs Wahnig said she knows he’s been thrown out and has been kept up at night telling herself that’s not the case.

MISSING: Raewyn Wahnig is worried she may never again see the stolen box with her stillborn son Thomas’ ashes in it.

She went to The Pawn Shop on Ferry Rd last week in case the person who burgled their house had tried to sell the $20,000 in jewellery which was also taken.

Detective Sergeant Damon Wells said the priority

is returning the ashes, but the police want to find the person responsible.

“If the offender gets a conscience and wants to anonymously drop them at a police station, we’d be more than happy with that,” he said.

Brownlee staffer involved in Treasury report

By Gabrielle Stuart GERRY BROWNLEE’S private secretary wrote to Treasury about what to include in a report on the anchor projects, it has been revealed.

But Mr Brownlee, the Minister supporting Greater Christchurch Regeneration, later slammed the same report, saying it was written by people who “fluff about the place pontificating.”

The Treasury Major Projects Performance Report, which was released in September, flagged several concerns about Christchurch anchor projects, including the Metro Sports Facility and Convention Centre.

But emails obtained by The Star show Mr Brownlee’s private secretary Mike Shatford wrote to Treasury staff several times before the report was released, asking them to change project rankings, remove information and delay the release of the report.

The changes he requested appear to have been made. But when The Star asked Mr Brownlee for his views on the report after it was released in September, he said he had little respect for it.

The first change Mr Shatford, the former Canterbury Earth-

CHANGES: Gerry Brownlee’s private secretary Mike Shatford (left) asked Treasury to change a report warning about potential issues with the Metro Sports Facility.

quake Recovery Authority communications general manager, requested was an improvement to the ranking of the Metro Sports Facility.

At that point Treasury rated it amber, which means the project appeared feasible but significant issues existed.

Mr Shatford said in an email to Treasury senior adviser Liz Innes on August 15 that Otakaro Ltd had provided an update on the project, which showed the “project cost uncertainty had been sorted” and another issue,

which was blanked out in the copy of the email provided to The Star, had been resolved.

“Having received this report, the Minister (and Otakaro) felt that this project was more [amber/green] than amber,” he wrote.

Ms Innes wrote back later that day to say the ranking had been changed to amber/green, which means successful delivery of the project is probable.

Three days later, on August 18, he responded to an email about a Canterbury Public Sector

by Treasury and Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, which made up part of the major projects performance report.

“Minister Brownlee is not yet happy with the indicators being presented for public release,” he said in an email to representatives of each agency.

Later that day, MBIE government procurement general manager John Ivil wrote back to Mr Shatford about the construction expenditure graph, which was

part of that “dashboard.”

“We could look to remove the baseline detail and just show actual and forecast, which is all in the right direction,” he said.

That information was cut from the report before it was released.

Later that month, on August 30, Mr Shatford wrote again to Ms Innes, asking for the public release of the document to be deferred.

His email was titled: “Minister didn’t agree to public reporting data being released in its current format – more work to be done.”

The report was not released to the public until September 21, three weeks later.

When asked if the involvement of Mr Brownlee’s office reduced the credibility of the report, a spokesman for Treasury said that was not the case.

He said Treasury made the final decisions on what to include in the reports, but Ministers and their office staff often had more up-to-date information than Treasury did, which had to be considered.

He said the emails were written after “frequent conversations” with Mr Brownlee’s office.

A spokeswoman said Mr Brownlee stood by his comments about the Treasury reports.

Migrant workers drive down pay rates •From page 1 He said many jobs offered also did not have guaranteed hours, which left people who had families struggling.

The Government scheme has made it easier for foreigners to move to Canterbury to help with the rebuild, by “streamlining” the application process, allowing workers to stay longer and letting them change employers while in Canterbury without having to reapply for a visa.

Canterbury Employers’ Chamber of Commerce chief executive Peter Townsend said he didn’t think foreign workers were driving down pay rates.

“A lot of work is going on, and there is still a high demand for workers in our city,” he said.

He believed the rebuild winddown was still at least a year away, and at that point he said a lot of effort would be made to transition people into other industries, like tourism.

Immigration Minister Michael Woodhouse said yesterday he was committed to ensuring “Kiwis are at the front of the queue for jobs.”

He said employers who looked for workers overseas had to first

advertise the job and engage with Work and Income to see if they could hire locals first.

“We are constantly monitor-

ing our immigration settings to ensure they are fit for purpose and I’m confident we have those settings right,” he said.

Bashing victim regains Sex attack after voice, speaks to police woman leaves

By Bridget Rutherford THE VICTIM of a horror attack following a Christchurch music festival was interviewed by police yesterday after regaining her voice.

Amelia Rayner, 29, was punched in the throat when she and her boyfriend were leaving Electric Avenue at Hagley Park just after 11pm on February 25.

She had an operation to have a metal plate inserted into her throat to help her breathe.

Her family was worried about how it could affect her voice.

But her mother, Barbara Rayner, told The Star yesterday that Amelia was talking and doing “really well.”

She said hearing her daughter speak for the first time following the incident was “just wonderful.”

“We’ve been very, very lucky.

She’s just got a bit of healing to do.”

It is alleged Ms Rayner and her boyfriend were leaving the festival when they got into an altercation with four men.

Lincoln concert

RECOVERING: Amelia Rayner has regained her voice after she and her boyfriend were assaulted while leaving the Electric Avenue music festival. ​

The men allegedly assaulted her boyfriend, and when she stepped in to help, she was punched in the throat crushing her trachea.

It has been reported that police interviewed a man believed to have caused her injury, but no charges have been laid.

Detective Senior Sergeant

Mark Worner said police interviewed Ms Rayner on Wednesday morning.

But he would not give any details about how it went.

“Inquiries are ongoing.”

Barbara Rayner said her daughter did not remember much of what happened.

A 48-YEAR-OLD woman was sexually assaulted as she walked home from the Selwyn Sounds concert in Lincoln on Saturday.

The woman had left the concert before it finished and police are hoping members of the public saw her.

They also hope someone might have found a fine gold chain bracelet with a heart-shaped gold locket which belonged to the woman.

The locket has a small diamond on one side and a keyhole on the other.

Said Detective Sergeant Phil Sparks: “She left the concert on her own at approximately 6.30pm and walked along Meijer Dr onto North Belt. It is in this vicinity that she was grabbed from behind and pushed a short distance off the road to where she was attacked.”

Detective Sergeant Sparks said the attack occurred between 6.30pm and 8pm. The concert ended just after 8.30pm.

“It was still daylight and members of the public may have seen something that can assist in identifying the attacker,” he said.

Police would like to hear from anyone who may have seen the victim leaving the concert.

She is of thin build with a dark bob haircut, and was wearing a black straw hat, light grey dress, brown leather boots, denim jacket and carrying two small backpacks when she left the concert.

Police want to hear from anyone who saw an interaction between a man and a woman fitting the victim’s description within the vicinity of the Lincoln Event Centre, North Belt and the surrounding area. They also want to hear from anyone who finds a bracelet in the vicinity of the attack.

Anyone with information should call police on 363 7400. Alternatively you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Peace Of Mind Over Earthquake Claims Is Within Your Grasp Let Us Offer You A Helping Hand Earthquake Services

Worried About Your Repairs?

We are determined to help settle those claims still unresolved from the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes and allow our clients to move on with their lives. Here’s how we can help you.

For many homeowners, doubts also linger about the quality of the earthquake repairs done by Fletcher EQR or their insurer’s contractors. It’s a known fact that many earthquake repairs have been sub-standard or inadequate. Foundation repairs such as epoxying foundation cracks and jacking and packing piles to relevel floors, are not what the insurers agreed to when they sold their insurance policies with terms like “AS NEW” as the repair standard. We will inspect your repairs for free*, and give you an honest opinion on whether you have major damage that has not been repaired.

At best, you will have peace of mind that your repairs are sound. If they are not up to standard, we will engage with the relevant parties for you to get you your entitlement.

EQC Still Assessing You?

Limitation Act

Getting Nowhere with Your Insurer?

How We Can Help

As a community we have just marked the sixth anniversary of the February 22 earthquake with the opening of the Canterbury Earthquake National Memorial. Our hearts ached to recall the loss that came about that day. But as we look back let’s not forget that for some in Canterbury the consequences of the earthquakes are still very real, and completely unresolved.

If you are still dealing with EQC to get your claim recognised or to get them to accept you should be put over cap, we can help get this done. We have had hundreds of our clients put over cap, and paid out by EQC, over the last 5 years. Many of these clients had hit a brick wall before they came to us, and did not have the money or skills to push EQC beyond their cap limit. Our process ensures EQC takes a realistic view of the actual damage to your home, and the costs to repair it, which very often means the claim goes over cap.

Many homeowners have come to an impasse with their Insurer, and simply don’t know what to do next. We can get your insurer back on to a path to settle your claim. Once we get involved, the insurers know they have to justify their position, and come up with a realistic repair strategy and costing of that strategy. We will advocate for the repair strategy that we believe is going to fully repair your property to your policy standard, and ensure you get your full entitlement under your insurance policy.

Concerned Your Damage Was Under Scoped?

Other homeowners know the damage to their foundations was never properly scoped or was completely ignored by EQC or their insurer, but are unable to get any action on this. We know what it takes to get EQC or the insurer to accept these claims, and have the resources to deliver the information and the pressure needed before they will pay out on these claims.

At some time in the near future, EQC and the insurers will apply the Limitation Act, which will mean a complete stop to any more payments for earthquake damage from 2010 and 2011. This means thousands of homeowners may be left with a damaged house that they cannot get repaired without paying for the repairs themselves. To avoid being one of those people, you need to take action now. Don’t wait until you know when the deadline is, as you will then be competing with thousands of other homeowners to get your claim established.

We carry out a free* inspection of your property for our clients and either give you peace of mind that all of your earthquake damage has been identified, scoped, and repaired to the required standard, or give you certainty that it has not. We will even lift your carpets for free* to check your floor slab is not cracked. If we identify major damage that has not been repaired, we take on the claim for you and get you your policy entitlement. You pay nothing until your claim is settled. We cover all the expert’s reports that are needed, and any legal fees if we need to resort to legal action to get you your full claim entitlement.

We can help take the pressure off and work with you, and for you, to reach a positive outcome, or give you peace of mind that your home is fully repaired to the required standard.

Let us give you a hand

News Red zone planning day open to all

A COMMUNITY day will be held to get input on how to shape the future of the residential red zone.

Regenerate Christchurch chief executive Ivan Iafeta said this year will see a plan prepared for the regeneration of former red zone land from Avonside to Bexley and Richmond to New Brighton.

The Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor Community Day will be held on March 25 from 10am-3pm at Haeata Community Campus, Wainoni. Everyone is welcome.

“We’re inviting everyone to journey through an interactive experience to learn about the land and river, and then share their thoughts on how this area could shape an exciting future for Christchurch,” Mr Iafeta said.

He said Regenerate Christchurch wanted to find out what the city needed and how this parcel of land could help meet those needs. It also wanted input from children.

Free guided bus tours of the red zone are on offer, as well as fun, family activities including a sausage sizzle, face-painting and a bouncy castle.

Role of women in spotlight

By Bridget Rutherford ROCHELLE TOURELL has worked in the construction industry for a decade and reckons she can do her job just as well, if not better, than any man.

The L.J. Kidd painter is one of the 14 per cent of women who work in the industry across the country.

Yesterday, it was the annual International Women’s Day, which calls for equality.

But Ms Tourell said she feels equal in her line of work, in spite of being the only female at most building sites.

“I’ve found every job I’ve been on I’ve been accepted. I’m just one of the team and I don’t expect any more than that.”

She said women could be more meticulous and could do the job as well as their male counterparts.

She first got into the trade because her partner was a construction worker. Having always enjoyed painting, she decided to give it a go.

It was intimidating initially with it being a male-dominated industry. But she doesn’t feel that way now.

By the numbers: •Women make up 51.3 per cent of New Zealand’s population, according to the latest census •Nationally, 14 per cent of those working in the construction industry are women •International Women’s Day was first held in the United Nations in 1975

METICULOUS: Painter Rochelle Tourell says she feels equal to her male counterparts, in spite of working in an industry dominated by men.

along to a Women in Construction forum, organised by Safe/Rebuild and Canterbury Rebuild Safety Charter, at

Christchurch Bridge Club.

It was so popular, another would be held later this month, which Ms Tourell would attend.

Roofer, TJ Kereru-Daly – one of three key guest speakers – said working in a maledominated industry meant she had to earn her colleagues’ support, but sometimes it was harder to do.

Sometimes she was not taken seriously because of her gender, she said.

Safe/Rebuild spokeswoman Jo Duffy said International Women’s Day was perfect timing for the forum.

“It seems a very obvious day to run this forum. We want to celebrate women in the business and the timing is perfect.”

Pastor issues challenge to congregation

By Gordon Findlater FIJIAN Seventh-Day Adventist Pastor Jesel Royokada is challenging his congregation to step up and enter this month’s The Star City2Surf with Mike Pero Real Estate.

Pastor Royokada was inspired by the Tongan SDA Church’s efforts at the Summer Starter late last year, and is being supported

by Healthy Families Christchurch.

“I thought ‘we can do that’.

I’d love to see our church leading the way, taking exercise seriously too,” said Pastor Royokada.

“So when I was talking to Healthy Families Christchurch they said ‘if that’s what you want to do, why don’t you just give it a try and see what happens?”

Not to be outdone, the Tongan church matched their entry numbers, and together they’re throwing the challenge out even wider, hoping to inspire other community and faith-based organisations.

“It would be great to see other churches and community groups taking part,” said Pastor Royokada.

“It was a great idea, it’s a great step to combine together and

INSPIRED: Teuila Saafi and Jesel Royokada are challenging community and church groups to get together and take on this month’s City2Surf. ​ then maybe we might inspire the Samoans or other ethnicities,” said Teuila Saafi, Tongan SDA youth leader.

The two Pacific churches have already started preparations for the March 19 event by exercising together on Sunday mornings at Hagley Park – combining prayer and walking.

“It was good, because we talked about it before, I said to

Jesel next time bring the Fijians and now they’ve joined us. It’s great,” said Ms Saafi.

“I found the Sunday morning walk fulfilling, by building up my faith, while also building my body,” said Pastor Royokada.

Both agreed that physical health and spiritual health are linked, but all too often other things can get in the way. Combining the two was

an important step to leading healthy lives.

As part of challenging other churches to enter the City2Surf, the duo have opened the door for anyone to join them in their prayer walks.

“We meet at 6.30am at the car park in the south end of Hagley Park and we’d love to have anyone join us, it would be great to see some new faces.”

CHALLENGE: Participants at the start and finish of last year’s City2Surf.

Move to restrict water take

By Tom Doudney MEASURES TO restrict, suspend or revoke water take consents in a catchment which feeds the ailing Selwyn/ Waikirikiri River will be investigated.

The river has had record low flows this summer and has dried up along large stretches, including at once popular swimming spots such as Coes Ford.

Environment Canterbury will look into two possible options to help address the situation and report back to the Selwyn Waihora Zone Committee.

One option is that ECan could issue a temporary water shortage direction allowing it to restrict or suspend taking water from the catchment feeding the river. Under the RMA, a water shortage direction can be applied when there is “a serious temporary shortage of water” which could not have been predicted. It would expire after 14 days but could be renewed.

ECan chief operating officer Don Rule said this could potentially affect up to 63 consents in an area south of Rolleston, of which about 46 were thought to have a strong connection to the river. It was not known how many of these consents were

Government pays $38,000 for SingularityU SAD STATE: The Selwyn River has almost dried up at Coes Ford.

The other option which will be looked at is a potential ratepayer-funded review of “at the very least” several hundred water take consents in the vicinity of the river but Mr Rule said this would be a longer process.

Such a review would enable ECan to look at whether any consents should be altered or revoked.

“The focus would be on surface and shallow ground water takes initially,” Mr Rule said.

“Based on my experience, consent reviews would certainly not affect this irrigation season,

at best they would apply to next irrigation season.”

Both options would be open to challenge in the Environment Court.

Zone committee chairman Allen Lim supported ECan investigating the measures but said it needed to be remembered that climate was the main factor affecting the current state of the river.

“If you have to attribute the amount of effect on the Selwyn River level, all the science that we know of says that 15 - 20 per cent is attributed to irrigation, the rest of it is just climate,” Mr Lim said.

By Bridget Rutherford THE GOVERNMENT spent more than $38,000 sending 28 staff to the SingularityU conference in Christchurch.

Information released under the Official Information Act show the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment spent $31,986 on conference tickets for 28 staff. On top of that it spent $6447 on flight travel costs for those who went.

Nineteen Callaghan Innovation staff attended, costing $23,821.

The Government agency helps businesses succeed through technology.

Its chairwoman, Sue Suckling, was one of the guest speakers.

Seven MBIE staff went, at a cost

of $10,426, while two staff from economic development and trade promotion agency, New Zealand Trade and Enterprise, attended costing $4184.

The American conference, held on November 14-16 at Horncastle Arena, looked into fast-growing technologies and how they were likely to change the economy, society and the job market.

It was organised by Ministry of Awesome co-founder Kaila Colbin.

The city council put $70,000 into the conference out of its Capital Endowment Fund. Tickets were priced up to $3495.

An MBIE spokeswoman said it helped staff better understand the potential impact of emerging technologies and how they would affect New Zealand.

Viewpoint

Emergency alerts on your mobile phone THIS week I announced a new emergency alerting system that broadcasts to mobile phones is on track to be up and running by the end of the year.

Launching a cell broadcast alerting system is a priority for the National Government and will help New Zealanders respond to the natural disasters we experience all too often.

Cell broadcast alerting is a new way of sending information to mobile phones in a defined geographical area without people needing to download an app or subscribe to a service.

The alerts will look similar to text messages and are received automatically – for free – by all cell broadcast-enabled mobile phones in the area.

Discussions with New Zealand’s major telecommunications companies are progressing well and we expect to have contracts signed in the coming weeks.

As no technology is 100 per cent fail-safe or able to reach everyone in all circumstances, multiple channels will continue to be used to send alerts when emergencies

Gerry Brownlee happen. These channels include radio, television, websites, various social media, smartphone apps, sirens and others. In Christchurch, we have warning sirens along the coast from Brooklands to Taylors Mistake and the other channels are used as local authorities determine appropriate.

It is important to remember cell broadcast alerts don’t replace the need for people to pay attention to natural warnings. This is particularly important in the case of earthquakes and potential tsunamis.

Cell broadcasting will get information about an emergency to people faster and more reliably than ever before. Additionally, cell broadcast technology works separately from text messages, so even when the networks get busy after a disaster, alerts can still be sent quickly.

The system is already well established elsewhere in the world, in countries such as the United States, Japan, Israel and Chile.

We said: Cantabrians’ access to non-emergency surgery is now the worst in the country. The Canterbury and South Canterbury district health boards were ranked worst for elective surgeries – which includes everything but emergency surgery You said: Simone Kuhlmann – Maybe that has something to do with the fact that they overwork and underpay their new young doctors? I mean I wouldn’t want to work 17-hour days either . . . let alone operate on someone!

Besides they’re on strike at the moment anyway aren’t they? My mother needs surgery on her ankle again after it was broken an operated on 1.5 years ago and it’s been impossible to get in.

Graeme Palmer – Just as well I have made the decision to stay in Dunedin with the great specialist team that I have around me rather than move home to Christchurch.

Amy Kennedy – Only took six months to get surgery on my badly broken ankle.

Albert Read – This needs to be fixed now.

We said: All is not well between Lyttelton residents and their local police.

Residents want local police on patrol after hours and on weekends, and are taking matters into their own hands with satisfaction surveys. Even a former detective has laid a complaint about police performance You said: Marianne Allison – We have the same in New Brighton, I feel so sad for so many people here getting their cars broken into and having to pay a $500

excess on insurance.

Sally King – And it’s a similar story in many small New Zealand towns. Too many cut backs and lack of funding and misguided use of current precious funding. Small towns matter too.

Amy Coursey – Nah. They know, the little town police officers are quite stretched. We live in a small town where the police have a huge area to cover and can’t get to everything.

Jake Ranginui – It’s election year, we need to change the Government. Police are far too underfunded!

Deborah Kavanagh – . . . and if the crims didn’t know before . . . they do now.

Rise in number of motorists running red lights

By Gabrielle Stuart CHRISTCHURCH’S growing red light-running problem is leaving dozens of injuries in its wake.

In the past year, there were 65 crashes which left people injured after drivers ran red lights, up from 42 the year before.

At the city’s top 10 worst intersections this month, almost 5400 drivers ran red lights in a single day.

That was up 31 per cent from last year, and 64 per cent more than in 2014.

They do not include people turning right across an intersection on a red light.

The worst for red light-runners was the intersection of Blenheim Rd and Mandeville St, where 652 were detected on a single day on Thursday, December 1.

Police figures have also grown.

In the last year, 1491 people were ticketed for running red lights in Christchurch, up from

1316 the year before and 1266 in 2014.

Canterbury road policing manager Inspector Al Stewart (left) said he was disappointed to see the rise.

“It puts people at risk. They may get away with it 99 out of 100 times, but it is that one time which could leave someone injured or killed,” he said.

He said police had a focus last year on bad driving at intersections, which included red light-running, and that would continue until the numbers improved.

People often had different excuses when ticketed for running red lights, but there was no acceptable reason, he said.

“A lot of people are simply focused on other things and don’t see it, but that is just as unacceptable as running a light deliberately, because when driving you should be focused on the task at hand,” he said.

BILL English’s comments last week that local workers and particularly the young fail drug tests, and this was the reason we were having to bring in overseas workers for these roles, made my blood boil for a number of reasons.

First, it’s simply not true on the scale alleged. The Government’s own figures show that just 150 people a year either failed or refused to take a drug test out of the 30,000 people a year who were tested.

Our prime minister cynically scapegoated a group of people who need the Government’s backing rather than being thrown under the bus like this in response to the reporting of all-time high migration figures.

Instead of an intelligent debate about employment, he decided to use anecdotes that had not been fact checked. But facts matter, and in this country we expect our prime minister to use them.

A country’s young people are one its best resources, so for him to marginalise and blame them unfairly is shameful.

While the prime minister and his party are busy taking pot shots at our young people, Labour has

been forming plans to make sure all our young people are ready for work. Currently, there are 74,000 young people not in education, employment or training and, last year, Andrew Little announced policy to fix this problem.

Andrew did not shy away from the fact that there are some young people who occasionally need a kick up the backside to get them out the front door, but he also laid out a plan to help them into work. For a period of six months, young people would be offered employment on community and environmental projects and paid the minimum wage.

Mentors will help them make the most out of this time and make sure that they learn important skills like punctuality.

This further adds to our intention to pay the equivalent of the dole to employers who take on apprentices.

Labour is not prepared to throw our young onto the scrap heap, we want a future where our young people have hope and opportunity, not a prime minister ready to use them as political fodder.

Our People

Cor Vink

Canterbury Museum’s spider-man Behind the public displays at Canterbury Museum is a hidden lab, with boxes filled with hundreds of preserved spiders in vials. It’s the office of Natural History curator and arachnologist Cor Vink.

He spoke to Gabrielle Stuart So have you always liked spiders?

I did. When I was a kid, my parents loved tramping, so we often came across spiders. I always liked predators – anything that had to kill something the same size or larger than it to survive I found fascinating. And they’re so different to us, so alien, from the way they feed to their biology.

New Zealand is a very interesting place to live if you’re interested in spiders. About 95 per cent of spiders here are found nowhere else in the world. It is estimated we have 2000 different kinds of spiders in New Zealand, and only about 1200 have names.

The others haven’t been named

or studied. And the ones we know most about are the most uninteresting ones, the most common household spiders.

So what does your job

involve?

It’s about half maintaining collections, and 25 per cent public interaction, giving talks and that kind of thing. The other quarter

is research, or supervising students.

And you were involved in catching the huntsman spider found recently at Lululemon?

Huge 2 Seater Stunning in silver and black

Breaking news, delivered to your pocket.

Yes, I was. It’s not the only huntsman we’ve had here, though. One was found in Hillmorton in 2006, and others popped up regularly in the same area over a couple of years afterward – although I haven’t heard of any there recently. There were two species often found up in Auckland. And a chap on our Facebook page recently posted a picture of a huntsman and said he found them regularly at his work, but he hasn’t replied to my messages, so I’m not sure where.

Huntsman spiders are not dangerous to humans, but they are a predator, so we don’t want them here because they would eat our native insects.

What about New Zealand spiders? Do we have big ones here?

Yes – the Nelson cave spiders have a leg span of up to 13cm, and bodies about 3cm in length.

But they vary a lot. Our smallest would be smaller than a full stop on a page.

So what is spider-hunting like when you’re out in the field?

Well, they’re usually active at night after the sun goes down, so you need a good head torch. But it depends what you’re looking at and where you want to go.

busts the myths about arachnids Trapdoor spiders are an interesting one to catch, because they like to stay inside their burrow behind the trapdoor. So to catch them, one researcher – Vikki Smith – invented a technique they call “beetling”, where they tie a leash around a beetle and walk it up and down outside the trap to lure the spider out. When the spider comes out to catch the beetle they block the door so it can’t get back in I wouldn’t like to be the beetle.

No, but the beetle usually survives it. Vikki had one beetle she called Pete, who she kept for a long time, although I believe he recently died.

RIP Pete. And when you’re working in the lab, what kind of discoveries do you find most interesting?

I think the most exciting thing is just to look down a microscope and realise you’re looking at a unique species that has never been seen before.

Have you been able to name any new species?

Yes, about 30. There are rules about what you can name them – they can be about where it is found or what it looks like, or the

MYTH: Cor Vink said many people believed white tail spider bites could be deadly, but that was a myth.

people who found them.

Have you given any particularly interesting names?

Not myself, although there are some interesting names for spiders in New Zealand. There is a genus of tiny spider called beelzebub, named for the Jewish ‘lord of the flies’. But you can do

some damage if you choose the wrong name. There is a kind of cave beetle, which was discovered by a Nazi supporter, and he named it hitleri, after Hitler. It is nothing special, but because of the name, it is now endangered, because a lot of crazy neo-Nazis want it in their collections, so

they hunt them down.

Obviously spiders aren’t popular with everyone – does that make it hard to get research or conservation funding?

Well, they’re not pretty, fluffy birds, that’s for sure. I don’t need much research funding because most of my work is collectionbased. I have done things like molecular research, but not a lot of it, so funding isn’t something that keeps me up at night.

Are there any spiders that scare you?

Not really, because I know they’re not going to go after you. Some, like the white tails, are quite creepy and they have a painful bite. But I’ve worked with spiders for more than 20 years, and I’ve never been bitten.

What do your children think of your work?

They’re fine with it. They’re 12 and 10, and they know the names of a lot of species and they’re quite good at finding them, too. They’ve come on several trips with me, helping me collect them.

There are a lot of myths people believe about spiders – which do you run into most often?

One of the most common is that white tail venom is deadly.

It’s not deadly. People will show you dramatic wounds which, they say, came from a white tail bite, but often they didn’t see it happen. It’s likely just a secondary infection, which is more likely to have come from a mosquito than a white tail. The other one is that cellar spiders, which most people call daddy-long-legs, have highly potent venom. The reality is, it’s not potent at all. You would need about 50 bites on a mouse to kill it. And there’s the myth about swallowing spiders in your sleep. It’s true they like dark places, but not somewhere wet like your mouth. So I don’t know where that came from.

Fashion

Runway show for Ronald McDonald House KIWI FASHION celebrities and some special models will hit the catwalk next month to raise money for Ronald McDonald House.

The M Factor Fashion Show for Ronald McDonald House will bring together New Zealand designers to raise money for the charity.

It will take place at The Foundry on April 1 at 7pm.

Ronald McDonald House provides a place where families can stay for free while their children receive medical treatment.

The family-friendly fashion show will see collections from the likes of Andrea Moore, Augustine, Annah Stretton and more, including children’s clothing labels.

It is not just your average fashion show, as the models include families who stay at Ronald McDonald House.

Last year, Tasja and Pyper Murphy, of Greymouth, modelled in the fashion show.

Tasja was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2013, and the Murphy family have stayed at Ronald McDonald House since then when she receives treatment.

GOOD CAUSE: Tasja (left) and Pyper Murphy modelling in last year’s M Factor Fashion Show. ​

After the success of last year’s show, Maree Harris, owner and events organiser at M Factor Events, is looking forward to bringing more glitz, glamour and fashion to this year’s runway.

It is a charity close to Ms Harris’ heart, as her twin nieces and family spent two months staying at Ronald McDonald

House.

“It’s a really special charity to me, which is why I am so excited to use my passion to support such an incredible cause.”

Ronald McDonald House South Island chief executive Matthew Mark said it always amazed him how Kiwis rallied to support other families during

Be seduced by the Spanish city of Cordoba

ORNATE: The two-in-one Mezquita is a mosque and cathedral combo. Its interior is a vast forest of pillars and horse shoe-shaped arches.

ret within a new bell tower, and plonking a church within the mosque’s existing fabric.

Fast forward 1000 years and a major sticking point today is that Muslims cannot pray in the Mezquita, given it’s a practising Catholic church. They’ve appealed to the Vatican to grant them a prayer room, without success. Several years ago, a group of Muslim tourists started mass-praying within the building, causing a huge stink, which resulted in several security guards being stabbed.

How sad that such an incredible masterpiece of world heritage is racked with resentment, which underscores Spain’s inner-turmoil about its contested sense of identity and shared history.

If you want to marvel at this building, before the ravenous hordes of tourists swamp it, jump up early and enjoy the early morning free admission, between 8.30am and 10am. Beyond the Mezquita, lose yourself in the time-honoured Juderia, the Old Jewish quarter.

by the Moorish conquerors on the site of a very early Christian church, they demolished the church to create this artistic treasure, which they wanted to rival the world’s great mosques.

Entering its cavernous expanse, I was transfixed by its vast forest of pillars and horse shoe arches, which look a bit like candy canes, with a two toned ochre and cream colour scheme.

When the Spanish Catholics reconquered Cordoba, mercifully, they didn’t destroy the building, opting instead to hide the mina-

RANGI

By Mike Yardley IN THE eyes of visitors, Andalucía’s enduring allure is legendary, but the textured, atmospheric appeal of Southern Spain is spectacularly illustrated in effortlessly explorable Cordoba.

I based myself in the heart of the old city, at a cheap and cheerful two-star establishment, Hotel Boston, from where I lapped up the sights like a perky cub-scout.

Cordoba is the sort of place that seduces you, from the moment you arrive. To get an absorbing overview, jump onboard a City Sightseeing Hop-on Hop-off Bus. www.city-ss.com A thousand years ago, Cordoba formed the heart of the Western Islamic Empire, as capital of the Moorish kingdom of Al-Andulus. At its peak, Cordoba was home to half a million residents, making it Western Europe’s biggest city.

That’s what really surprised me, because even though it’s still got plenty of bustle, Cordoba exudes a human-scale mystique.

The star attraction is unquestionably the storied Mezquita, not dissimilar to Istanbul’s Hagia Sophia, whereby you’re rewarded by a two-in-one mosque and cathedral combo. Built in 783AD

hood of twisting laneways is not overtly touristy or commercialised. You can also see the 13th-century synagogue which was converted into a church, when the Spanish monarchy expelled the Jews from Spain.

It’s the perfect place to wander aimlessly, in the maze of cobbled lanes with shady flower-filled courtyards. It’s peaceful, timeless and quintessential Cordoba.

Another reason to rise early, is to hot-foot it down Puente Romano.

Walk the maze of cobbled lanes and courtyards •From page 29 Spanning the Guadalquivir River, this grand old Roman Bridge turns on a celestial light show (below). In a scene straight out of a fairytale, as the rays of the rising sun caresses the honey-hued limestone bridge, the resulting mirror reflection on the water, produces a sensational “river of gold” mirage.

Much of Cordoba’s medieval architecture is constructed in the honey-coloured stone, so the magic hours of the rising and setting sun create a photogenic feast.

Central to the local way of life is the cherished – even revered – patio. Throughout most of May the annual Festival of the Patios is a source of incredible local pride, and a monumental tourist draw.

Even back in the days of the Romans, Cordoba homes were built with a central patio or courtyard, as a trusty refuge from the scorching heat.

The tradition was enhanced by the Moors, with stone mosaics, ceramic tiles and water features, vividly accentuating the decorative touches to the patios.

May is a magical month to plan a visit to the city, when over 50 patios, tucked away behind heavy doors and iron gates, are thrown open for public viewing, for free.

It’s a tantalising encounter with authentic Cordoba living and you’ll notice that patio decoration is not only a big business, but powered by plenty of “keeping up with the Joneses” rivalry.

EXPLORE: Lose yourself in timehonoured Juderia, the Old Jewish quarter.

Pretty nemophila for pots or planting

By Henri Ham

STRONG: Water black penny regularly for a good show.

For more gardening inspiration, pick up the latest issue of kiwigardener

NEMOPHILA IS a lovely annual that produces masses of tiny, pretty flowers.

The individual flowers are small and delightful, but planted on mass, nemophila looks stunning and striking. Google nemophila at Hitachi Seaside Park in Japan for a glimpse of how spectacular nemophila can look.

Some of my favourites are snow storm which has white flowers with fine pencil markings, black penny flowers are dark purple with white edges and blue chip flowers are blue with white centres. Blue chip grows to a height of 20cm and the other two to a height of 10cm.

Try growing a mix of all three or just one variety to create a strong statement.

In addition to mass planting, they look lovely in pots, containers, borders, baskets and rock gardens.

Once you’ve got your seedlings simply plant each one around 25cm from the next in a spot that has full sun or part shade and moist soil.

In around four weeks you can expect to see your nemophila put on their show. Water them regularly and you’ll help keep the flower show going longer.

PLENTIFUL: Snow storm in a pot produces masses of individual flowers.

An apple a day Rachel Vogan says apples are easy to grow and wonderful to eat – so why not grow your own?

REFERRED TO as the world’s most popular fruit, apples are one of the easiest crops to grow.

They are often classified as eating or dessert/ cooking apples. If room isn’t an issue try to plant a range of apples that mature at different times, so you can have a long harvest period.

POLLINATION Apples are pollinated by bees, which move around apple and crab apple trees (which are useful pollinators for apple trees due to their abundance of pollen and long flowering period). If you only have room for one, make sure it’s self-fertile, or if your neighbour has a tree or two, the bees will move from garden to garden to aid in fertilisation.

MAINTENANCE Young apple trees need little pruning other than to train to shape until the plants have multiple branches or when they are starting to take up too much space. Prune to aid air and light movement once established after harvesting in winter.

Fertilise in spring with a general-purpose fruit fertiliser; avoid anything that is exceptionally high in nitrogen.

READY TO PICK: The flavour of home-grown is best.

eventual height of the tree. Grafting is nothing new, it has been done for centuries, and it allows for more than one variety to be grafted onto each rootstock. Multi-grafted apple trees are popular and readily available; some even come in triple grafts, ie three varieties of apple on one tree.

‘Baujade’ are all green cooking-apple types.

• Big is better? ‘Peasgood Nonsuch’ offers monstersized fruit.

• Low-maintenance and tasty varieties include ‘Initial’, ‘Adore’, ‘Ariane’ and ‘Divine’, which all produce wonderful apples, and what is even better is that they are disease resistant and do not need spraying.

Firepower for Crusaders ahead of Reds clash AN EXPECTED call-up for former Wallaby Digby Ioane will add extra firepower to the Crusaders side that stirs more nightmares in the Reds ranks than any other team.

The Crusaders have averaged six tries and 47 points, when demolishing the Reds four times since they met in the 2013 finals series.

They meet the Reds on Saturday night in Brisbane.

Ioane has been hindered by a hip injury, since exploding through four Reds defenders for a trademark try at the Brisbane Global Rugby Tens last month.

He made his return in the curtain-raiser last Saturday in Dunedin, before the Crusaders pegged back a 27-6 deficit for a brilliant 30-27 win over the Highlanders.

“I’m fully expecting the Crusaders to give Digby a crack at

The Reds defence will have to be far better organised when marking roaming wingers coming into the line, because Force flyer Chance Peni carved them up for his early try last week.

Harewood amateur in New Zealand Open

By Gordon Findlater MATT MCLEAN has claimed one of only six spots out of 172 players who attempted to qualify for the New Zealand Open.

McLean, 21, will be one of only four amateurs to tee off in today’s New Zealand Open being played at The Hills and Millbrook golf clubs in Queenstown. The open finishes on Sunday.

To qualify, the Harewood club amateur finished second in the regional qualifying tournament at the Christchurch Golf Club. Then McLean sealed his spot in the open by finishing tied for first in the last stage of qualifying in Cromwell on Monday.

“I’ve tried to qualify a few times in the past and haven’t made it past the first stage in Christchurch. I was quietly confident going into Cromwell because I’ve played there quite a few times, so I was pretty proud of myself to get it done,” said McLean.

He will not only get to play alongside some of Australasia’s top golfers but also some of

cricket’s greats who are playing in the pro-am at the tournament.

“I got to see some of them teeing of yesterday. Shane Warne congratulated me on qualifying and he was really nice to talk to,” said McLean.

The amateur is in his fourth year at Lincoln University on a golfing scholarship. He also works part time in the pro shop and as a greenkeeper at the Harewood Golf Club.

McLean’s aim at the open is to make the cut for the final two rounds at the weekend and to finish as the top amateur.

Strike bowler’s 10-wicket bag

By Gordon Findlater SUMNER’S groundsman rolled the pitch at St Leonards Square on Saturday morning before rolling New Brighton’s batting line-up in the afternoon.

It was the perfect day at the office for Brendon Wellington who picked up a 10-wicket haul in the first day of a two-day match in the Metro senior A competition.

Sumner were asked to bat and scored a first innings total of 294/8 before it became the Wellington show. The groundsman come left-arm strike bowler had career best figures of 7-30 as New Brighton were dismissed for 151 in just the 22nd over.

“It helps knowing where the juicy parts in the pitch are,” said Wellington.

The home side then enforced the follow on, allowing Wellington to complete his 10-wicket haul before the day was done as he picked up 3-28 prior to the close of play.

“I did some pretty good celebratory moves . . . I even pulled out a special celebration, the chainsaw.”

New Brighton will resume on 88/4 in the second day of the match on Saturday, still 55 runs behind Sumner.

Status quo

MATCH BALL: After 20 years in the game, Brendon Wellington grabbed his first 10-wicket bag in the space of one afternoon.

Warriors contract not out of the question for Kahu

KIWI international Jordan Kahu says he is open to a return to New Zealand and possible contract with the Warriors.

THe skilful Broncos star has been gaining local attention in the Brisbane media with speculation he may quit the Wayne Bennett-coached club at the end of this season.

Kahu told Brisbane’s CourierMail that he will do what’s best for his young family when it

comes to securing his future beyond 2017.

THe Kiwi international is offcontract at the end of this season, along with a number of his Brisbane teammates.

While players like Australian reps Anthony Milford and Darius Boyd are expected to be among the first re-signed by the club, Kahu’s future is still up in the air.

THe centre said staying in Brisbane would be the easiest

option as this stage with his young family, but did not go as far as Milford to say he was only considering the Broncos.

With his partner Jess Kent due to give birth to their second child next month, Kahu said he would keep all options open.

“I am doing everything for them right now,” he told the Courier-Mail.

“I have to make sure I’m looking after them first and foremost. I have to see what the

Carpet piCk of the week

best offer is and make sure I’m doing the best for my family.

“I haven’t spoken to my manager about anything yet but I will be open to anything.

(But) it would be a lot easier if we stayed here.”

Kahu is yet to speak to his manager about his contract negotiations.

THe Kiwi back, whose family lives in Wellington, was linked to a possible move to the Warriors last year but denied the rumours

at the time.

However, now that he was off-contract, he did not rule out returning to his home country.

“I’ve always thought about going home,” Kahu said.

“Auckland (Warriors’ base) is pretty far from Wellington though and that’s where both of our families are. But I’m open to anything.”

Major makeover for BMW’s versatile X1

By Ross Kiddie GIVEN THE importance of the SUV market, especially the mainstream/ affordable section, BMW wasn’t going to let development wane on its popular X1.

Recently, it received a fairly hefty makeover, so much so that BMW is calling it a new generation model.

While the concept has been retained, the new X1 has a more chunky, muscular appearance providing an aggressive stance. The interior has also been revised to offer more space, and it carries more kit in terms of innovation.

However, most importantly, BMW have revised the engine lineup in the X1 to include two brand new engines – petrol and diesel. All four powertrains are more efficient and more powerful than the previous generation units.

The test car was the xDrive20d, as its nomenclature suggests it is a four-cylinder, 2-litre, turbocharged diesel model.

It is rated by BMW at 140kW and 400Nm, and lays claim to an amazing 4.9-litre per 100km (57mpg) combined cycle fuel usage rating.

I wouldn’t dispute that figure. During my testing time the fuel usage readout was constantly listing around 6.5l/100km (43mpg) with a stunning 4l/100km (70mpg) available instantaneously at 100km/h in eighth gear (engine speed 1500rpm).

Yes, the engine drives through a fabulous eightspeed traditional gearbox.

There are steering wheelmounted paddles if you want to take control over the gear-shifting process, and if you want to force sporty performance, sport mode engine management protocols are available through a central consolemounted switch. It also offers eco pro mode for

BMW X1: Useful four-wheel-drive system.

economical motoring, or normal mode; the latter I far prefer and as you can ascertain, it still provides fuel consumption figures to envy.

• Price – BMW X1, $80,600 • Dimensions – Length, 4439mm; width, 1821mm; height, 1612mm • Configuration – Fourcylinder, four-wheeldrive, 1995cc, 140kW, 400Nm, eight-speed automatic.

• Performance – 0-100km/h, 7.6sec • Fuel usage – 4.9l/100km

And the economy doesn’t come at the cost of performance. The X1 in this form is quick with a 7.6sec standstill to 100km/h time. It feels constantly feisty beneath the accelerator, and when the turbo boost really kicks in through the mid-range the diesel X1 takes on a sporty persona.

That is matched by a well-tuned chassis and suspension set-up. The fully-independent set-up is only moderately firmed so that ride comfort has a high priority. Yet the X1 can be driven like a sports sedan, it has decisive handling manners and accuracy is precise, while body balance is well controlled.

XDrive simply means four-wheel-drive, and that adds in the grip factor.

CLEAN LINES: The X1 is fresh and stylish.

Even when conditions don’t necessitate full involvement of four-wheel-drive, the X1 feels strongly attached to the road all of the time, and that imparts a secure sensation underneath.

I like the way the X1 handles, it is almost unnatural for an SUV and takes on the characteristics of BMW’s desirable sports sedans; its pedigree shows up in its performance.

Maximum torque is spread strongly throughout the rev range, which means the slightest throttle provocation will result in eager response.

The X1 has also been refreshed so that occupants get a comfortable ride. It can be classed as a true five-seater, although at just under 4.5m it isn’t a big vehicle, but for the smaller family, it is an SUV which competes fairly in that segment. And it has a load space on par for vehicle type.

The test car was carrying a few optional extras, but even at $80,600 the xDrive20d represents value for a premium vehicle, and bear in mind that the four-model range starts at $59,900 for the petrolfuelled two-wheel-drive sDrive18d.

For the $80k you get a host of kit including satellite navigation, central display screen, i-Drive infotainment controller, dual-zone climate control, idle stop-start, and ConnectedDrive, a driver emergency assistance platform and concierge service, just to list a few of the items.

The specification level is something BMW does well, you can option up through a long list of accessories.

For that reason, the X1 is an important car for BMW. It is priced so that buyers can reach the brand and enjoy the benefits of a European buying experience.

DECODER

HOW TO PLAY It’s like sudoku: each vertical and horizontal line has to contain the numbers 1-6, and the numbers can’t be repeated in any row or column.

But it’s sudoku with a twist: The numbers in each heavily outlined set of squares, called cages, must produce the number in the top corner.

For example, 5+ means the numbers add up to 5, 9x means the numbers multiply to equal 9.

TIP: Numbers can be repeated in a cage, as long as they are not in the same line or row. © 2017 KenKen Puzzle LLC. All rights reserved

better to hire a tradesperson and get the job done properly than to make costly mistakes.

By law, some jobs need to be done by a professional, such as gas, plumbing, drainage and some electrical work. Major maintenance matters.

your property

MOISTURE

The Star has some fantastic cost-effective packages available for people selling their property themselves.

Damp homes are unhealthy and harder to heat. Combat persistent damp in your home by: • Insulating (under the floor, in the ceiling and walls).

• Ventilating (including extractor fans in bathrooms and kitchens, opening windows, using a dehumidifier or forced ventilation system and keeping vents clear).

• Heating (aim to keep the indoor temperature at a minimum of 16C).

• Replacing unflued gas heaters with electric or flued gas heaters.

From only $63+GST you can have your property profiled with a photo!

NOTICE OF LOCAL TRANSITION PERIOD We, the Mayors of Christchurch and Selwyn, give notice that we have agreed to invoke a period of transition to recovery as outlined in the Civil Defence Emergency Management Act 2002.

We believe this to be in the public interest and desirable to ensure a timely and effective recovery.

The transition period is effective from when the state of local emergency expires at 6.00pm on Wednesday 1 March 2017 and is effective for 28 days, ending at 6.00pm on Wednesday 29 March 2017.

The decision to introduce a transition period under the Act is based in part on the following: • • • • • •

Rural fire estimates that firefighters may be on the fire ground for another 3-4 weeks managing the residual fire risk from the Port Hills fire Significant rainfall to reduce fire risk is likely some time away Residents in the affected areas that have suffered loss, or have been evacuated, are still feeling vulnerable Ongoing psychosocial and general welfare assistance will be required for impacted residents in Selwyn District and Christchurch City There will be an ongoing need for cordon/access management to keep “rubberneckers” out of impacted communities, and also to restrict public access to some recreational areas due to residual fire risk Heightened public information and media interest is likely for some time.

It’s an important part of our security that we know who is coming into our sites. Our security guards will have a quick conversation with people before they come into our offices to discuss why a person is there, and help make sure we don’t admit anyone who might represent a risk to the safety of other clients or our staff.

If the person doesn’t have an appointment, they’ll be asked for ID, but not having ID won’t mean people can’t come into our offices.

Our clients now also have access to a wide range of our services on the phone and online. This includes help with urgent costs, like food or emergency dental treatment, using our online service MyMSD. Thank you from the local MSD team.

Paddy’s Day

While many of us take part in celebrating St Patrick's Day, there are probably few New Zealand's who know much about the Patron Saint of Ireland KNOWN as the ‘Apostle of Ireland’, St Patrick is one of the world’s most popular saints.

Enslaved as a young teen by pagans and Druids, he turned to God while in captivity.

Escaping at age 20, he returned to his family and began studying for the priesthood.

He preached throughout Ireland converting many for 40 years. During his teachings he often used shamrocks to explain the Holy Trinity - Father, Son, Holy Spirit.

He died at Saul, the site of the first church he built, on March 17.

St Patrick’s Day commemorates his death.

«WHAT'S ON« THIS WEEKEND

FRIDAY 10 MAR, 7PM

CELEBRATE the weekend with the Mainland Big Band - a 16piece dance band, at the Hornby Club, Saturday March 11. “is should be a fun night with a few surprises and the chance to learn some new moves.

We will have a full line-up of our regular musicians with four doubling on vocals but are specially delighted to have local Christchurch jazz songstress, Jennine Bailey joining us for a feature set,” said Lynley Watts, band publicist. “If you want to

get the feet moving - or just love that full, big band sound, there will be something for everyone with music ranging from 1940's swing, 50's rock'n'roll, 70's rock, 80's disco and lovely ballads and melodies through the decades.” is promises to be a great night out and the Band is looking forward to seeing you there!

Tickets are just $15 available from the club office or by contacting Brian on 021 0375 951 or Jill on 339 4012. Door sales available.
