Catholic bishop has another stroke

â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘

By Emma-Jane McLennan THE HEALTH of Christchurch Catholic Bishop Barry Jones has deteriorated. Bishop Jones, 74, has been in poor health in recent years, and had another stroke on Friday, Bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pastoral Office director Mike Stopforth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very low and his family have been called to him. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very, very sad.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking imminent the Christchurch diocese â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which covers Canterbury, West Coast and the Chatham Islands â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will Barry Jones lose its leader, with Vicar General Rick Loughnan taking over his role in the past months as his health worsened, Mr Stopforth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had a stroke quite some time ago, then another, and another last Friday. So while heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still had a period being the bishop, Loughnanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been taking over for the past few months.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely the Catholic diocese will soon start the process to have Vicar Loughnan ordained as Bishop of Christchurch, said Mr Stopforth. Bishop Jones was ordained as a priest in 1966 and ordained the Catholic Bishop of Christchurch in 2007.

ON SET: Frosty with actress Margot Robbie in Z for Zachariah.

Frosty cool with the camera By Tom Doudney FROSTY MAY be one of the only australian koolie dogs in the South Island but it’s his exploits on the big screen which have really made him stand out. Although he can more commonly be seen alongside his owner, Sarah Sharratt, Frosty is more likely to be recognised from his role as Faro, companion to Ann Burden, played by Margot Robbie in the film Z for Zachariah. The post-apocalyptic movie was filmed mostly in Port Levy, in 2014. As one of very few australian koolies in the South Island and having one blue eye and one brown eye, Frosty is an eye-catching dog. But he owes his casting to an appearance by Mrs Sharratt’s daughter Emily and her skateboard riding dog Pickle on New Zealand’s Got Talent in 2012. Producer Rebecca Rowe who worked on that show, also went on to work on Z for Zachariah. Being aware that Mrs Sharratt had other dogs which she trained for agility and obedience competitions, Ms Rowe gave her a call to see if she had any other potential stars. Mrs Sharratt, who lives on a lifestyle block near Rolleston, said Frosty was only eight months old when he auditioned for the part. “I had to take him to Port Levy to see the director and the art and

design producers and the cinematographer and all that sort of thing. They took one look at him and went ‘yip’,” she said. “He has got a very calm temperament so I knew he would be okay on set.” After an audition which involved walking slowly and barking, Mrs Sharratt had just four weeks to get Frosty trained up for his role. “He had to bark on command and carry a rabbit but mainly he had to look like he was [Robbie’s] dog, so he just had to follow her around.” Frosty also spent two nights sleeping on Robbie’s bed to get used to her company and got to ride in a helicopter for a scene in the Methven area. Mrs Sharratt said Frosty had been very popular with the cast and crew during the five weeks of filming and actor Chris Pine in particular had taken a shine to him. But if Frosty had any idea at all that he was the centre of attention, it hadn’t gone to his head. “He’s lovely, the kindest dog you can imagine,” she said. She had wanted to have one of her dogs in the movies since watching Lassie as a child. Although Frosty hadn’t had any more on-screen roles offered to him, Mrs Sharratt was very open to the idea.

Facebook threats warning from expert By Emma-Jane McLennan THREATEN OTHERS on Facebook at your peril. That’s the warning from a legal expert after a 27-year-old faced the courts for sending his former boss 321 threatening messages on Facebook. Canterbury University law expert Ursula Cheer said the conviction of Henare Pera Hohaia was a reminder that Ursula Cheer you can be held accountable for how you use social media. Yesterday Hohaia, of Hornby, pleaded guilty in the district court on charges relating to threatening messages he sent to his former manager. The woman had no contact with Hohaia for more than a year after he stopped working with her. She then discovered he had sent her hundreds of private Facebook messages over a few months. They included threats, one showing a picture of a firearm to the victim’s head, and some suggested Hohaia’s family members were stalking her. Another was a threat to shoot her pet horses. Hohaia could be liable for a maximum of two years’ imprisonment and up to $50,000 in fines, under the new Harmful Digital Communications Act which came

into effect in July. He will be sentenced on April 26. It’s an extraordinary case and quite an extreme one, Dr Cheer said. “Only the criminal part of the Harmful Digital Communications Act has come into effect, so it’s got to be not just a little complaint to get this far.” But she said that while it can take a lot of courage to complain about social media abuse or defamation, it will likely become much more common. “Harmful digital publication goes on all the time, everywhere. There are eight such cases going on in New Zealand right now, and the more they are publicised, the more people will think about complaining.” It’s a real warning for anyone who has acted cruelly on social media, Dr Cheer said.

“Any statement on social media that could harm someone, even if it just makes them feel terrible, could come under the new laws. I’d be telling people to go to Facebook right now and take whatever they’ve said down.” She added that there was “room for interpretation” within the laws, which could see people prosecuted even years after posting harmful messages on social media. “Things hang around on the internet, and there is room for interpretation around the publishing side of it. If someone prints out a post you wrote years ago, technically you could say it was published this year, and you could come under the new laws.” When the civil part of the new laws come into effect, likely within the next 12 months, more people will be liable for conviction over their anti-social online behaviour.

Drink driver pleads not guilty THE MAN who publicly apologised for his three-hour drinking binge before getting behind the wheel has pleaded not guilty to drink-driving charges in court. Bay Haika (right), a 55-yearold demolition worker, publicly apologised in newspaper ads after he was caught at more than four

times the drinkdriving limit in December. He appeared in court on Friday, and said he pleaded not guilty simply because his lawyer didn’t have enough time to

get the case together. “My lawyer never had a chance to read the disclosure papers and stuff,” he said, adding that he’d only managed to secure a lawyer “just hours” before appearing in court. He said he plans to pleads guilty once his lawyer has looked over the case.

House values rising faster for Selwyn HOUSE VALUES in Christchurch have risen by 1.7 per cent in the past three months, but they’re being far outstripped by the Selwyn district. Recently-released QV home value statistics show that Selwyn’s valuations rose 2.3 per cent in the past three months, while Waimakariri’s rose 1.3 per cent over the same period. QV Christchurch valuer Darryl Taggart said the housing market has pickled up: “There appears to be more confidence in the market now than there was at the end of 2015.” Mr Taggart also added that after post-quake rent inflation in Christchurch, it appears the market has settled. “Rents have shown a decreasing trend over the past 18 months following the over-

inflated rental market.” The average house value in Christchurch is now at $484,118, compared to Selwyn’s $527,063 and Waimakariri’s $420,339. Values within Christchurch vary greatly as well. Eastern suburbs are valued at an average $368,302, hills areas average $654,145, central and northern areas are at $567,761, southwest suburbs average $459,226 and Banks Peninsula, $494,588. While property values are up, the rental market will be affecting Christchurch property investors, Mr Taggart said. “It’s likely that any investors who banked on the inflated rents for their rental returns may be finding their yields are lower than expected now that rents have come down.”

Elderly man arrested for molesting pedestrian By Andrew King

A WOMAN is home recovering after an alleged morning sexual attack by a man in his 70s. Police arrested an elderly Afghan man who allegedly sexually attacked a woman in Shirley yesterday around 9am. The attack happened on Shirley Rd – the man was arrested a short time and distance down the road beside Shirley Primary School. The Star has learned the victim was allegedly approached by the man in his 70s. He grabbed her right breast, then he moved his hand down to her groin before he started touching himself. It is alleged the man, after the assault, walked off down Shirley

Rd before being caught by police beside the school. The Star understands police had to spend a few hours locating an interpreter to speak with the man as English is his second language. A man who was working in the area saw police take off towards The Palms Shopping Centre around 9am. “I saw three or four police cars turn their lights off at the [traffic] lights and speed off towards the Palms,” he said. The man said he did not know what they were doing. The Star understands the victim was shocked at the time of the attack but was at home recovering. Police refused to release any details of the case to The Star.

Cantabs like to shop local By Gabrielle Stuart

CANTABRIANS SPEND more money on Saturdays, do their shopping in the afternoons and spend most of their money locally, new figures show. The Paymark figures come from electronic and eftpos transactions, and show where people in Christchurch are spending their money. They show Cantabrians spent $3.66 billion locally last year, about 82.2 per cent of their total spending. They were more likely to shop local than people in other regions, with 65.7 per cent the average local spend across the country. Retail NZ public affairs general manager Greg Harford said the figures showed Christchurch businesses had a loyal customer base. “Cantabrians are generally very supportive of their local retailers, and that’s showing through,” he said. The biggest spend was in the west, where more than $1.5 billion was spent over the year, up five per cent on the year before. But the biggest increase was in the south east, where spending rose 14 per cent on the year before, although the total $310 million spend was still the lowest in the city. The Tannery developer Alasdair Cassels said many businesses were moving back into Ferrymead and the surrounding areas. “There are more businesses being re-established, and there are more people. The population in the south-east dropped right down after the earthquakes but the popu-

BY THE NUMBERS Last year in Christchurch: •2985 retailers were open •20,690 people worked in retail •$1.37b was spent by visitors •$3.66b was spent locally by residents •About $140m was spent in Christchurch in one week – the week before Christmas •40 per cent of spending was done in the afternoons, between noon and 4pm •17 per cent of spending was done on Saturday, the busiest trading day

lation of places like Sumner and Redcliffs and Scarborough is returning.” He said sales at The Tannery had been down in the first part of last year, but they were better than they had been in previous years in the later months. The figures showed Saturday was the busiest trading day, with about 30 per cent of total spending done on the weekends. They showed afternoons were much busier than mornings, with 40 per cent of spending done between noon and 4pm. Just 27 per cent of spending was done in the mornings, while 33 per cent was done after 4pm. The Hub Hornby centre manager Jason Marsden said there seemed to be a shift away from very late

night shopping, and an increase in people shopping on the weekends, particularly on Sundays. He said trading at the mall had been disrupted by the expansion work under way there, but in spite of having fewer shops at the mall last year the spending still rose by two per cent. He expected spending in the area would continue to rise in the future. “The city is bounded by the ocean to the east, the Port Hills to the south and the Waimakariri River to the north, so out west is a really logical corridor for expansion. We saw that natural westward shift even before the earthquakes.” The figures showed Selwyn residents did almost half of their shopping in Christchurch, spending

more than $320 million in the city. But that figure was down about 1.5 per cent on the amount they spent in 2014. It also showed business in Banks Peninsula was booming, with a 13.8 per cent increase in spending the highest in the region. The number of retailers across Christchurch has dropped since the earthquakes, from 3141 in 2010 to 2985 last year. But the number of jobs in retail has grown, from 20,170 in 2010 to 20,690 last year. Mr Harford said it was hard to compare Christchurch with other cities around New Zealand, because the regions were so different and the effects of the earthquakes were still showing. But he said feedback he had from

How Christchurch residents spent their money: •74 per cent at Christchurch retailers •3 per cent in Selwyn or Waimakariri •13 per cent elsewhere in New Zealand •10 per cent online

Christchurch businesses lined up with the data. “It’s not a booming result for retailers but it is solid, and it’s something they can be pleased about.” The figures also showed Cantabrians were doing more of their shopping online, which he said was a concern for retailers. The amount Cantabrians spent online rose by 17 per cent last year, compared with 13 per cent across New Zealand. He said that could be partly due to the availability of products, both because of shops closed since the earthquakes and retailers who did not have stores in the South Island.

Burglar steals while householders sleep By Tom Doudney A BRAZEN burglar has stolen from houses while the occupants were inside sleeping and may have visited the same property two nights in a row. And police are worried that next time the burglar could be tempted to commit more serious crimes, such as sexual offences. Last week, at least three houses on lifestyle blocks on the outskirts of Rolleston and in Broadfield were entered while the occupants were home in bed and in one of those cases the offender even stole items from the bedroom where people were sleeping. A resident of Alameda Pl, in the Broadfield area, said burglars had visited him two nights in a row. The man, who declined to be named, said he and his partner had been sleeping on Wednesday night when a neighbour’s dog had woken him up by barking at about 1am. On Thursday morning, he found that someone had rummaged through the glove box of his car and thrown his possessions out on the lawn and he was told that one of his neighbours had been burgled on the same night.

That night someone entered his house through his unlocked door, took $100 from his wallet, which was in a drawer, and left the wallet and car keys on the lawn. “We never lock the door but we will now,” the man said. Police believe the burglaries were committed by the same person responsible for a spate of about 50 burglaries which have hit lifestyle blocks around Selwyn since November. Senior Sergeant Pete Stills said police were worried about the safety of people who might be home when the burglar struck in future. “We are talking potentially sexual offences,” he said. The man had not needed to break in, as the doors to both houses had been left unlocked. In one instance, the offender left after being disturbed by a woman in the house who had woken up and noticed light coming from another room. Since the spate of burglaries began, items stolen had tended to be smaller possessions of value such as ipods and ipads. In many cases several lifestyle blocks on the same road have been hit on the same night. The area between Rolleston and

West Melton has been heavily targeted. At least four properties on Leavington Close between Lincoln and Tai Tapu were burgled on Monday last week. Senior Sergeant Stills said a big concern was that people weren’t locking the doors of their houses and cars, or were leaving keys where they were easy to find. “We have had dozens of burglaries occur during the night and not one of those occasions has the offender broken into anything. He has used either unlocked doors or keys he has found somehow to gain access,” he said. “Often people who live in the country or move to the country think ‘I will be safe now and nothing will happen here’. The same rules apply [as in the city] – if you want your property to be secure and your family members to be protected, you have got to use your locks.” Sergeant Paul Piper said anyone who noticed suspicious behaviour at night or noticed something missing which may have been stolen should report it directly to police or phone the anonymous Crimestoppers line, 0800 555 111.

Dead glider pilot formerly of Chch

THE GLIDER pilot who crashed and died near Twizel on Saturday was a former Christchurch man, Murray John Philpott, 55. Searchers found the wreckage of a glider in the Ben Ohau Range at 7pm on Monday. The glider took off from Omarama at 1pm the day before. The wreckage was found in one of the areas first searched within a 50km radius of Omarama. The crashed glider was missed on the first search because low cloud was covering the valley. Gliding New Zealand president Karen Morgan, of Balclutha, said Mr Philpott was a well-respected member of the gliding community. Ms Morgan did not consider the sport dangerous. On average, statistically fewer than one person died a year in New Zealand when gliding, she said. “It’s a sport, like all sports, there is an element of risk – fishing, golf –

all sports have their moments.’’ The cause of the crash was unknown but a glider seldom failed mechanically. “There is relatively little to go wrong in a glider. Most of us don’t have motors, so that eliminates the common cause of incidents [with aircraft].’’ New Zealand was home to 22 gliding clubs. Ms Morgan said the gliding community in New Zealand had about 850 members. The cause of the crash was unknown and the accident has been referred to the Civil Aviation Authority. The glider was self-launched using a small motor. On Saturday, the pilot made radio contact at 2.06pm and the glider was last sighted at 3.45pm flying north of Omarama. The search was difficult because Mr Philpott (above) had not left a flight plan and had not asked for flight following.

Firefighters plea for motorists to pull over By Bridget Rutherford LITTLE RIVER firefighters and the people they are rushing to help are being put at risk by vehicles not pulling over to let them pass in emergencies. A fire crew was travelling to a medical call-out in Birdlings Flat at 2.05pm on Monday when it got stuck behind four vehicles, in spite of its sirens and flashing lights. One vehicle the truck was following for about 500m along State Highway 75 even passed another vehicle that did pull over. Chief Fire Officer David Irving said it happened just about every call-out. He said firefighters were having to follow vehicles closely and pull further into the middle of the road to get past. “If we’re in the middle of the road and a car comes around the corner, there’s all sorts of things that can create the perfect storm. We don’t want to get to that.” He said the brigade needed to get to medical call-outs immediately, because ambulances could be coming from further away. “We are first responder for ambulance, there’s a good chance some or most of these calls have the possibility of a fatality if the services don’t get there in time.” An ambulance, which came from Leeston, took the man in his 40s to Christchurch Hospital in a moderate condition.

Successful start to fishing ban By Fraser Walker-Pearce THE FISHING ban on New Brighton Pier got off to a good start on Sunday. Sunday was the first day of a year-long one day a week fishing and crabbing ban on New Brighton Pier. There wasn’t a fine or warning issued by the city council in regards to breaking the ban. This comes after a decision by the Burwood-Pegasus Community Board in December, which saw it decide to ban fishing and crabbing off the pier every Sunday, from 10am to 5pm for a whole year. A city council spokeswoman said in the first weekend, there were no breaches recorded by the city council. “There were no breaches of the fishing ban at New Brighton Pier on Sunday, February 7,” she said. New Brighton resident Bob

Andrews said the ban was a “good start.” “The whole idea when they were talking about building a pier was to have it for the kids, and not for the fishermen,” he said. New signs have been put up on the pier and around the area to

let the public know that the ban is now in force. The council has also hired ‘pier hosts’ who can answer questions and ensure that no one tries to fish between the restricted hours on Sundays. A council spokeswoman said

the pier hosts will have backup support “if needed.” The community board has also asked for funding through the city council’s 2017 Annual Plan to look into building a separate fishing platform off the end of the pier.

Funding loss worry for pre-schools By Gabrielle Stuart

PRE-SCHOOLS ARE worried they could lose their funding and some may have to close if changes to the city council grants system are made. Money is currently set aside in the city council community grants budgets to subsidise rents for early learning centres using

city council buildings. But it is looking at cutting that allowance, so early learning centres would have to apply for funding through the main pool and prove their “high need” for it. A decision on the funding is due to be made tomorrow. Linwood New Beginnings Preschool centre manager Olivia

Brooks said the centre would have to consider closure if it lost the funding. It received a $39,600 subsidy last year, one of nine early learning centres around the city given a combined $291,689 in grants. “Because of our positioning within the community parents struggle as it is already, so we can’t

raise the fees,” she said. She said the centre had already had its Government funding cut because of decile changes, and a cut in the subsidy could be the last straw. “We still provide high-level education, but we have few resources and fewer staff so it’s already having an impact,” she said.

What’s SCIRT doing in 2016? SCIRT has started the final big push to finish its work by the end of 2016. SCIRT’s programme of repairs to pipes, roads, bridges and retaining walls will be completed by December. After SCIRT, Christchurch City Council and NZ Transport Agency will continue their programmes of ongoing repairs. Your support is helping us get the job done. Thank you from the SCIRT team. We’re now 84% through our programme.

A SNAPSHOT OF 2016 We’ve largely completed our enormous work in the central city. Most of the SCIRT works this year are in the suburbs. It’s still all go in the east of Christchurch and some suburbs are getting even busier. The good news is that SCIRT’s road cones and crews will start to disappear from suburbs through the year.

SCIRT progress Around

75% 92% of underground pipes and pump stations are fixed

of bridge repair work is done

70% 76% of retaining walls are repaired

of road repairs are complete

SCIRT progress in your neighbourhood • In the east SCIRT crews will be out in force repairing and replacing damaged wastewater pipes and roads. It will be just as busy there as it has been in the last four years. • In the west SCIRT’s programme of works is a lot lighter than in the east and is mostly wastewater repairs. • Big programmes of underground pipe and road repairs are well underway in the north and north-west. SCIRT crews will move progressively through suburbs in this area. • Some of the southern suburbs will see SCIRT crews depart about midyear while other parts will see new work swing into action. • Retaining wall repairs will be keeping SCIRT crews busy in Lyttelton. Other hill suburbs will have theirs completed steadily through the year. • These timeframes are indicative only and may be updated throughout the year. SCIRT will provide you with more specific details when working in your area.

Prime Minister John Key refused an invitation to Te Tii Marae in Northland as part of celebrations for Waitangi Day. Fraser Walker-Pearce asked people if there was a better way to celebrate the day than how we currently do, and how they would like to see the it celebrated.

Paul Tupuhi, of Hornby, construction worker. “No, I think it’s alright as it is. To be fair it doesn’t really bother me how we celebrate it. I had the day off which I’m thankful for. Otherwise I’m not really too caught up in how or why we celebrate it.”

Christine Molloy, of Sheffield, retired. “No, if I had my way we wouldn’t celebrate it at all. It’s in the past now, and there’s always so much friction that comes with it, and protesting around the day, so it’s not worth it. We don’t need it anymore.”

Readers respond to a review by the city council of speed limits Frank Long, Halswell: I live on the south end of Wigram Rd between Dunbars and Halswell Junction Rds where the speed limit is 70km/h outside our place. Far too fast with the increased traffic we are now getting on this section of road from the new subdivisions now in and around our area. Rachel Best, Halswell: I would like the residential built up areas of Halswell Junction Rd, such as from around the Oldham Crescent area to the Halswell Rd

Riley Casey, of Fernside, sports sales. “No, I think we should just relax on the day, and take a moment to reflect on what happened, and who we are. Maybe that should be advertised more next year, and I’d like to see more events surrounding the day.”

Judy Jackson, of Hei Hei, retired. “Probably stop all the fighting that’s involved with the day – there’s far too much of it around. I’m not sure how we can actually do that, but it’s a step in the right direction. It’s something we can work on. Maybe we should get a new prime minister.”

intersection, to have a reduced speed limit down from 60km/h to 50km/h and likewise a reduction from 60km/h to 50km/h on Halswell Rd from Lillian St to O’Halloran Drive. With the introduction of new housing subdivisions, the Te Hapua: Halswell Centre and the updated supermarket area have a lot more people – including children using the roads. It is very hard for primary school children to navigate the roads when they are so busy and traffic is moving at such a fast pace. Jean Shallard, Bishopdale: A road many of us consider very

Paul Goodwin, of Halswell, retired. “If they can do away with all the divisiveness of the day, then that would be a good start, but otherwise I think the current celebrations are appropriate. I think the Maori side of the day gets enough coverage as it is, but because we’re such a multicultural country, taking in the other cultures would be good, rather than just celebrating it as bicultural.”

Nathan Todd, of St Albans, customer service. “Yes, I’m not too sure how, but I guess we’re not very patriotic as a country. I don’t really have any suggestions, but we don’t celebrate it enough. We should definitely be more in touch with the Maori side of the day. And when you look overseas more Kiwis abroad celebrate Waitangi Day than we do here.”

Kieran Roach, of Somerfield, phone services. “Yes, because here in Christchurch we don’t really do anything to celebrate it. There’s a public holiday and that’s about it – that I know of. There’s always media coverage about the day, but I hardly hear about things going on. I guess nationally yes, we should be more involved. I’d like to see a big event in Cathedral Square, just to be able to say ‘hey, here’s what we’re doing in Christchurch’.”

Tarryn Wroblewski, of Woolston, sales assistant. “I totally think it’s all about family and c elebrating with your family, and enjoying the day together. I mean if you have to work, you have to work, but it’s just another day really. I think there is a big cultural aspect to the day, and I think in future we need to focus on that a bit more, if anything, the day should be made to include all cultures, that’s the main reason we should be celebrating.”

Pat Colenso, Ilam: I think that Christchurch could benefit from a varied speed limit in some streets. But the signage both now and any change needs to be more frequently displayed. For some time I have been aware that there is not enough speed signs around and it is very easy to go over the limit or under when travelling around Christchurch and the suburbs. I have rung the city council on this many times but so far no change.

A night at the ‘Olive Grove’ Anna McPhee The Syrian refugee crisis

Former St John Christchurch volunteer Anna McPhee has travelled to a Greek island off the coast of Turkey, where she is working to help the hundreds of Syrian refugees arriving in boats each day. She shares her experiences IT’S A Wednesday night, the waterfront restaurants are bustling with Mytilini locals. We are standing on the corner out front of the main stretch, the cold wind biting at our cheeks with a handful of future friends. This is the unofficial meet up point for the Moria night shift, people with cars collect those without and we all head inland for eight and a half hours of the unknown. I don’t yet know these people, but I know by the time we watch tomorrow’s sun rise over the wasteland of tents and olive groves we will be comrades. If I had to summarise the differences between here and there

in one sentence, it would be this: Pikpa was once a summer camp, Moria designed as a prison. Razor wire tops high fences that loom menacingly. Much like its former prison existence, this camp is a controlled area. Only certain organisations are allowed in, alongside only certain nationality of refugee. This ‘hot-spot’ sits atop a hill and at times has been referred to by some as ‘the worst refugee camp in the world’. Things have picked up recently and the conditions aren’t nearly as bad as they used to be, however, it’s certainly no island paradise up here. As certain economic migrants were refused entrance, they began to give up hope. Despondent shells of humans began to sleep in the mud under the olive trees dotted down the slopes outside Moria. A need became apparent, volunteers began to create a makeshift camp. Providing food and water to those living on the hill, ‘Better Days For Moria’ began to take shape. Now it’s a community of volunteers supported by cooks, medical teams and distribution tents. It’s not pretty, but it’s making a difference every day.

CAMP: The Moria registration camp on Lesvos was originally built as a prison, but now temporarily houses thousands of refugees on their way to Europe.

ness, they need money to support their families during these tough economic times, some are happy to throw punches to make a point. We try to ensure the taxis are filled before any private vehicles. More and more taxis arrive, agitated that the families who don’t want to be split up are being taken by private vans. Voices raised, no Greek translation is needed to understand how hostile this situation is getting. This is a tough situation for all involved. We spend the rest of the morning shepherding refugees into orderly lines, keeping them off the road and out of the way of furious taxi drivers accelerating hard around the hilly roads. Trying to keep the peace. Racing against a deadline. Eventually, it’s over. Those still left at Moria will be spending another four days. The rest, I hear, are facing pandemonium at the port where cold weather and a delayed ferry has lured a different team of volunteers down to hand out more food and blankets. Either way, tickets are sold out and at some point in the morning our guests will be departing for the shores of Athens. It’s been an interesting week of re-finding my groove now that there’s no boats to be rescued, but each day I find new ways to fit myself into this surreal little island. • To hear more about Anna’s story, see her video blogs or read her latest posts, visit her website www.jetsettinglivingwell.info

Telco plans

Munching through media – choose Our telco plans are more important now than ever, with Kiwis constantly consuming media wherever they go. Emma-Jane McLennan looks at how you could save money on your telco bills MORE THAN 2.5 million New Zealanders use Facebook, and each check the site an average 14 times per day. On average, Kiwi teenagers spend seven hours a day consuming media, and children access seven different phone apps a month. Our need to stay connected is rising rapidly, so our telco providers are more important than ever. That’s the call from Geeks on Wheels IT expert Tom Minton, who says in 18 months time we’ll likely all be consuming streaming

media, with the likes of Netflix, on smart TVs. “I’d be really surprised if we weren’t all using it.” Mr Minton (inset) uses his smartphone, desktop PC, Apple laptop, iPad and smart TV to consume media at home – a large swag of devices which munch through huge amounts of internet. High-speed unlimited broadband was the only way to go, he said. “That way we can continue to stream at high-definition and we’re not having any issues.” It’s a sentiment many agree with, according to a recently-released

Consumer NZ survey. It shows that while few respondents were interested in changing their internet service provider (or ISP) 37 per cent said they were “very likely” to move to an ultrafast broadband plan. Mr Minton did both when he moved from Vodafone – new plan, new ultra-fast broadband, he said. “I’m a Vodafone cable customer for a couple of reasons – firstly the house was already wired up for it [ultra-fast broadband], and secondly, they’ve really cleaned up their act on customer service.” He said that as little as six months ago, you would spend

“hours” waiting on hold for someone at Vodafone to help: “Now that’s cut down to just three to four minutes, max.” Customer service – or the lack of it – is one of the biggest reasons New Zealanders move companies for their internet or mobile plans. Consumer’s survey on telco providers shows the top three reasons for switching ISPs are finding a cheaper plan (38 per cent), poor customer service (32 per cent) and finding a better plan (31 per cent). But making the right move can be confusing. Just 15 per cent of mobile plan users say comparing plans is “very

easy,” and only eight per cent thought they would switch in the next 12 months. Fifty per cent of mobile plan users and 53 per cent of internet plan users, agreed it is “very difficult” to compare providers. While it may be confusing for a start, there is a lot to be gained by shopping around – and even the least tech-savvy can benefit from it, Mr Minton said. “You can call around, see what each is offering and play them off each other. If you’re looking for the best deal you should always do that – you’re never going to be worse off.”

When Mr Minton was looking to switch from 2degrees and Snap for his telco plans, he asked Vodafone to knock down the prices. And they did: “I’ve got a phone plan with 2.5GB of data a month, plus unlimited calls and texts. I was getting that cheaper on my old plan so I asked them to knock down the overall package price,” he said. Now he’s paying $79 a month for his unlimited ultra-fast broadband, and $60 a month for his mobile plan – a total of $139.

There is a lot to be saved by lumping your plans together, Mr Minton said. “Because you’re a loyal customer you’ll always get a better deal.” His unlimited broadband allows him to watch his favourite shows via Netflix – which he, along with many others, have called “the way of the future.” “I can watch what I want, when I want it. And as for streaming, Netflix is definitely the biggest in New Zealand, and will be the biggest in the world. There’s no contract and it’s really easy to consume my favourite content.”

Bicycles bound for Madagascar to boost rural health care By Emma-Jane McLennan

A CONTAINER full of donated bicycles are headed from Christchurch to Madagascar, to help doctors provide health care in rural villages. The ‘Bikes for Madagascar’ project started with an idea from SB Global Logistics’ Simon Weeks, after a year of working in the remote island country off the coast of Africa. Mr Weeks had been working for a charity, on transport solutions for Madagascan medical professions. They would often walk up to 20km to visit people in need. “With a bicycle you can see more patients and help more people,” he said. After coming back to Christchurch he sent the call out to for people to donate their unwanted bicycles, the majority of which would be given to health workers. The rest will be used by locals, Mr Weeks explained: “That would just be for a nominal fee, which will enable the bicycle container to stay as a bicycle workshop, offering employment and making the scheme sustainable.” That idea has finally come to fruition, with 361 bicycles on their way and due to arrive in 15 days. All the hard behind-the-

Premier award for keen gardeners THE MOST beautiful residential garden in Christchurch has been named, after green-thumbed gardeners vied for the attention of Christchurch Beautifying Association judges. Brian and Janet Lovelock took out the annual competition with their carefully-manicured 32 Applefield Court, Styx Mill, garden, which they’re dubbed “a riot of colour.” “It’s a fantastic feeling to know that all of our hard work has been recognised,” Mrs Lovelock said. She and her husband, retirees in their 70s, spend “almost all of their time” carefully tending the garden, she said. “We grow most of our plants from seedlings ourselves, saving

the seeds every year, because it’s too expensive to just keep buying plants. But it’s a lot more work,” she said. The couple have always been into gardening, with Mr Lovelock a qualified horticulturalist who formerly owned a nursery business. Mrs Lovelock is herself a member of the Christchurch Beautifying Association, but says it’s not a conflict of interest to be judged for the premier garden. “We can’t be involved in judging residential gardens obviously. But the association needs as many members and people entering as it can get. So we’ve done both.” Mrs Lovelock has organised a “massive push” to get more people

entering their gardens this year, resulting in a real boost in numbers. “People just aren’t interested in gardening as much anymore, but we would like to see more involved – not just in the competitions but in our plantings and volunteer days.” While the results are out for the competition’s many winners – including for gardens at flats and townhouses, commercial properties and retirement villages – the association is planning its other projects. “We plant more than 3000 daffodils at Hagley Park every year, we look after the Bishopdale Mall and Fendalton Mall gardens – we try to do our bit and we always need volunteers,” Mrs Lovelock

What’s proposed

Want to find out more or got a question?

More land round the Hornby, Linwood and Papanui commercial centres is proposed for rezoning to residential meduim density. This means smaller section sizes and townhouse or multi-unit style developments will be allowed in this proposed zone. This will enable more households in the area and a greater choice of housing options - for families, couples and single people.

Letters have been sent to owners and occupiers of houses in or next to the area proposed for rezoning.

Why do we need to change? We need to plan for future growth in Christchurch. The Independent Hearings Panel wants to create the potential for 23,700 more dwellings by 2028. The panel has directed the Council to notify larger areas of Hornby, Linwood and Papanui than originally proposed for residential medium density so that possible rezoning can be tested through the submission and hearing process.

You can phone us at 941 5986 and speak to a district plan review planner, or email us at dpreview@ccc.govt.nz You can read the full proposal and the supporting evaluation report at proposeddistrictplan.ccc.govt.nz/ additionalproposals There is a hard copy (reference only) at each Council service centre and library.

Sex toy thrower speaks out Christchurch nurse Josie Butler explains why she threw a sex toy at senior Government Minister Steven Joyce at Waitangi

Can you explain the reason for you throwing the dildo at Steven Joyce? I’m a nurse and I’m very concerned about the effects of the TPP on my patients. I believe, and I am not alone, that the TPP will have profoundly negative effects on New Zealand, socially, culturally and economically. I care deeply about my country and its people, and I want NZers to know that we can still avoid this outcome. This agreement has not been ratified yet. Balanced debate on the issue has been continually shut down by the Government. I think it is a shame that it takes a hardworking nurse throwing a dildo at a politician to open up this debate. What was the specific purpose for using a dildo, what was it to symbolise? I believe the metaphor is well documented now on social media, and it is not necessary to stir the pot. How did the opportunity come about? Did you follow Joyce or the media? In any campaign where protest has become inevitable, you have to grab your moments. When did you decide you

Josie Butler wanted to do this, and did you act alone or with others? I’ve been campaigning against the TPP for two years. We have been taking part in the democratic process, we’ve been to the city council, we’ve educated people, we’ve organised numerous peaceful protests. The TPP is not good for NZ, and I will not give up working towards a healthier NZ, a stronger NZ, a fairer NZ. You say you were not charged. Did you receive a precharge police warning? And can you explain how the police dealt with it? The police dealt with me professionally, as is their duty, and I was dealt with accordingly under the law. No formal charges were laid.

GPs, be creative diagnosing depression A

LL ADULTS, including pregnant women and new mothers, should be screened for depression as a routine part of healthcare, a US government advisory group has recommended. Screening simply involves health workers asking about certain symptoms even if patients don’t mention them.

accurately diagnose those flagged by screening — and then to choose treatments that best address each person’s symptoms with the fewest possible side effects.

Screening is a first step Treatment options include psychotherapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy, a variety of antidepressants or some combination. One challenge is that there’s little way to predict which patient will respond to which treatment, says Dr Michael Thase of the University of Pennsylvania. Many antidepressants have modest effects, and typical first-line therapies may not be enough for more severely affected patients, he notes. GPs may need to get creative to be sure patients don’t abandon treatment, Thase says.

It’s fairly common Depression interferes with people’s ability to function in their daily lives and can even lead to suicide. Nearly 7 per cent of US adults experience a depressive episode each year. Symptoms can include persistent sadness, feeling hopeless, difficulty concentrating, problems sleeping and loss of interest in once-pleasurable activities. People sometimes also experience physical symptoms, such as headaches or back pain, which can confuse diagnosis.

No single cause Depression can affect anyone and there are multiple risk factors. A personal crisis, such as loss of a loved one, sometimes precedes depression, but it also can occur without any obvious trigger. Depression and other mood disorders tend to run in families, and it frequently accompanies serious physical disorders.

SAD BUT TRUE: Asking a lot of questions and following up is the way to help.

Hormones can play a role, during pregnancy and after a woman gives birth. The task force cited a study that found about 10 per cent of new mothers experienced a postpartum depression episode, more serious and lasting longer than so-called “baby blues”.

Why screen? Depression can go unrecognised, especially if patients don’t seek a diagnosis.

After reviewing years of research, the taskforce says screening for depression remains an important part of primary care for all adults. It stressed that pregnant and postpartum women, concluding they, too, benefit from screening. A variety of screening questionnaires are available, such as one that asks how often, over the last two weeks, patients have felt bad about themselves or felt like they’re a failure, had little interest in doing things or

experienced problems sleeping, sleeping or concentrating. Still undetermined, the task force said, is how often to screen, given that a person’s circumstances and risk could change over time. Those aren’t new recommendations; several other health groups also have long urged depression screening, although there’s no data on how often it’s done. But the task force says one key is that appropriate follow-up be available to

Check prescriptions are being filled He suggests health workers call to check if patients have filled their antidepressant prescriptions, or trying webbased symptom monitoring to see if they’re responding to therapy or need a switch. A bigger challenge can be finding a specialist to whom GPs can refer more serious patients, with a patient who is referred being in limbo while they are — AP fairly sick.

Fostering relationships with nature

By Rachel Grunwell

IF YOU care about what exactly goes into your skincare and how it’s made, then you should understand the term ‘biodynamics’. I came across this scientific term since I’ve been using skincare products by Dr Hauschka, a biodynamic brand. Essentially, it means such brands care about everything from the start to the finish— from the soil quality and environment in which they grow their crops to the end products. Biodynamics is similar to organic farming. It was developed in the early 1920s thanks to the efforts of Austrian writer, educator and social activist Dr Rudolf Steiner, whose philosophy is called anthroposophy. This philosophy centres on things like using natural means and holistic methods to optimise well-being. He believes in a relationship between natural science, modern science and

CITY 2 SURF TRAINING PROGRAMME WEEK 5: Look up and accept the challenge The training programme will stay the same this week as last week but may I suggest that you go and explore the geographical options you have for your training. This means not only exploring your own neighbourhood but also venturing to places like the Burwood Plantation, the beach or the Port Hills. Of course it takes a bit more time as you need transport so the weekend might be the best time to do this. The best surface to run on is soft, like grass, sand or gravel; it is easier on the legs so try and do the majority of your sessions on these types of surfaces if possible. If you have time, venture into the Port Hills. A good place to start is the track which runs between the sign of the Takeha and the sign of the Kiwi. This is a gradual incline which you can do out and back for as far as you can comfortably go. Once you have mastered this track you can venture beyond anywhere in the port hills. Jogging on the Port Hills walking tracks takes a bit of concentration as the terrain underfoot can be uneven.

Walking or jogging and running uphill will automatically increase the intensity a fraction because you use larger muscle groups. It is a type of endurance training which will accelerate your strength and fitness with incredible views of our beautiful city as an extra bonus. Going up, take small steps and take your time so you stay mainly in zone 1 and 2. Remember that zone 1 is perceived as an easy effort which you can maintain for very long periods of time. In zone 2 you will get slightly puffed but you can still have a conversation. Initially take it easy on the downhill. It can be hard on the legs, so go careful. At this time of the year the beach is also an attractive option for a workout. The soft sand will add an extra dimension and help the strength development. On hot days go for the forest or parks as the shade provided by the trees will protect you from the blazing sun. Hagley Park is of course the jewel in the crown as far as parks go with lots of variety and enough options never to have to do the same route.

Comfort during your training session will greatly add to your enjoyment. Small issues like shoes which do not quite fit, wrongly sized, insufficient or too much clothing can all have big consequences like blisters, cold exposure, heatstroke or chaffing issues. In a previous article I have already mentioned the importance of well-fitting shoes but the same applies to your running shorts and top. For women there are special sports bra’s to add to comfort and males can prevent the much maligned “nipple rash” with preventative taping over the affected areas.

THAT’S ODD

AN ENGLISH cat which disappeared 16 months ago has been found living inside a pet food warehouse. Clive the norwegian forest cat vanished from his home in Nottinghamshire when he was nine months old. Owner Tanya Irons thought she’d never see her fluffy kitten again. But little did she know, he’d actually holed up just 3km away at Kennelgate

Pet Superstores. Free to roam the aisles of the factory at night, he feasted on the food. Bosses realised there was an intruder several weeks ago after he kept setting off alarms. A cat trap was set, the prowler puss was captured on Wednesday and identified from his micro-chip. “I can’t believe he’s so porky,” Ms Irons said after being reunited with the pet. cnr Montreal & St Asaph Streets, Christchurch.

The Royal Takeover Tiki Taane

New Zealand's most treasured collaborative

Fly My Pretties

is back and outfit, plays the Isaac Theatre Royal on Friday night. Headlining in this show is another star studded selection of some of the country's finest contemporary musicians - some familiar FMP performers as well as some exciting new talent. Forming the collective 15 strong line-up is (in alphabetical order): Anna Coddington; Bailey Wiley; Barnaby Weir; Holly Arrowsmith; Iraia Whakamoe (The Nudge); Jarney Murphy (The Black Seeds); Kara Gordon; Laughton Kora; Mara TK (Electric Wire Hustle); Mel Parsons; Mike Fabulous (Lord Echo); Nigel Patterson (The Black Seeds); Ria Hall; Ryan Prebble (The Nudge); and Shaun Blackwell (Night Shades). Since it's inception over a decade ago by Black Seeds frontman Barnaby Weir and Loop Recordings' Mikee Tucker, FMP has toured regularly both here and overseas playing concerts, festivals and events; has four platinum

Fly My Pretties albums to its credit; and has claimed numerous music and recording industry awards. Opening the show on Friday will be 'King of Dubs',

Tiki Taane. The ex-Salmonella Dub frontman has been

working on a new recording. Watch out for his 5th solo album due out soon. And if that's not enough... following the concert there will be a FMP After-Party featuring the Loopcrew, Flash Harry, Tiki, Laughton Kora, Mara TK, Bailey Wiley and special guests will take place upstairs in Isaac Theatre Royal. After Party tickets sold separately. Tickets to both events at Ticketek and theatre box office, Gloucester St.

Blue Smoke has a full programme this weekend (Formerly Gustavs) in the Woolston Tannery on Garlands Rd

Friday night NZ's most 'Sea Worthy' Shanty Group, The Wellington Sea Shanty Society will be belting out traditional sea songs. This duo believes that 'a shanty shared is a shanty savoured', so don't be surprised if you're supplied shanty song sheets so you can sing along! 8pm start. Free. And on Saturday night, also from Wellington, it's award winning 6 piece band, TUNES OF I. With a sound fueled by a high energy rhythm section, lush harmonic textures, psychedelic soundscapes and tight horn lines, led with harmonious, soulful vocals

they produce a unique formula of dub, funk, soul, psychedelia and roots. 8pm start. $5 pre sale / $10 door sale. Due to popularity, Blue Smoke's SUNDAY SIT DOWN GET DOWN sessions are now a regular event. This Sunday features New Orleans songstress, Beth Patterson. A creative songwriter, Beth's music styling combines traditional Irish, Celtic and folk ballads with Cajun, world-beat and progressive rock influences. 4pm start. Free.

THE DUGAN'S TOGETHER FOR A COUPLE OF SHOWS

Country music legend Brendan Dugan and his dad Pat will be appearing along side little sister Annette at the Hornby Workingmen's Club at 2pm on Sunday 14th February. With a career spanning over 4 decades, Brendan Dugan is something of a household name. Well known for his live performances, TV appearances, and 15 albums to his credit, Brendan has claimed many awards during his career including NZ Entertainer of the Year. As well as touring and performing regularly throughout New Zealand and Australia, he has appeared further afield at venues such as the legendary Grand Old Opry in Nashville. Also well respected in country music circles, Pat Dugan has been involved in the music industry for many years as a mentor, emcee, and performer. A few years ago the Country Music Association of NZ recognised his efforts by presenting him with an award. This was a very proud moment for the family. Soon to turn 90, he is still in great voice and 'sings like a bird'. Completing the lineup, direct from USA, is 'little sis' Annette. Sunday will be a great chance to see this renowned country music family all together in one show. Tickets are $15 on sale now at the Hornby WMC office, Carmen Rd, phone 349 9026. The Dugan's will also perform at the Ashburton MSA Club on Friday 12th February.

"We really focus on sounding like the real deal whilst being relational and interactive with our audience," says Paul. "Dancing and a great night out is a must for everyone whilst keeping the cover charge reasonable!" 2015 was a significant year for Madsen Promotions, playing sell out shows in USA. "We performed our BeeGees Tribute to a sold out audience of 2500 people at Las Vegas M Resort and then a follow up with a sold out performance in Pheonix Wild Horse Resort." With a return tour of the USA scheduled for June July this year, the future is looking bright for this Nelson based troupe. A superb night of international standard entertainment featuring the legendary hits of the BeeGees, Robbie Williams, and the Eagles is booked to take place at the Hornby Workingmen's Club next Friday 19th February. Tickets are $20 on sale now at the HWMC office, Carmen Rd, phone 349 9026.

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. © 2015 KenKen Puzzle LLC. All rights reserved

TOUCH CANTERBURY

iNVESTiNG iN YOUTH AND DEVELOPiNG THEM FOR THE FUTURE

ouch, what a game! This catchcry heard at most national tournaments encompasses so much of what is great about New Zealand’s favourite oval ball summer sport. Touch can be played by anyone, anywhere, anytime. Males and females play together, it is played by families and friends alike, with an age range of the very young to senior citizens all participating, often together. All you need is a ball, a few markers and a willingness to run, catch, pass and place the ball. Some northern hemisphere commentators have even suggested our nation’s love affair with touch is one of the reasons our winter code players have such a wide skill set from the forwards through to the backs. What a game indeed.

Most people consider touch a social sport, which it predominately is. We believe the social nature of touch should be celebrated which is why it is fantastic to see Touch New Zealand lead this strategic direction. After all it means more people get outside and play, which given our societies well documented issues surrounding obesity and general wellbeing, can only be a good thing. Touch, like most well established sports, has a pathway that leads to provincial and national representation. How fantastic then that Touch New Zealand and the Christchurch City Council are bringing the Junior Nationals (U15s & U17s) to Christchurch for the first time ever. They are being held at the newly renovated fields (thanks to the Christchurch City Council) at North Hagley Park from the 12th – 14th February. Many well-known sports stars have trodden this touch pathway and two that immediately spring to mind are Nehe Milner-Skudder and Shaun Johnson. So why not take the time out, come and see some fast, exciting touch whilst supporting the seven Canterbury teams. Who knows who you might see. We wish all our young players, coaches, managers and referees all the best for this tournament. We would also like to thank all the sponsors and parents who have helped our young players’ participate in this important step in their touch careers.

From 12th – 14th February 2016 the Canterbury U15 Boys Touch team will compete against other regions for the junior U15 Boys national touch title. The 2016 team features a number of players from last year along with some new faces all eagerly awaiting their opportunity to compete at the national level. The team has had a solid build up to the nationals; they came second behind Otago in the South Island Interprovincial tournament in November 2015, disappointed to come away with a loss but having learnt a huge amount both as a team and as individuals. Throughout January the team has worked hard with a variety of trainings and mini tournaments which were designed to encourage them to grow as a team, as players and set some goals going forward towards nationals. The team will be led by Co-Captains Tyreice Tuliau and Max Hughes and be coached by Benjamin Ziolo and

Last three qualifiers for NZ Women’s Open WAITANGI DAY certainly wasn’t a holiday for New Zealand’s best up-and-coming female golfers as 32 players went head-to-head for the remaining three spots in the ISPS Handa New Zealand Women’s Open at Clearwater. A total of 12 players shot under par to prove the quality of the field, sadly for nine of those players it wasn’t quite enough. Grace Senior (right) was the pick of the bunch and took all stress out of the equation as she carded an impressive 66 to win by four shots. Senior’s 66 was only one shot off the course record, set by her now rival for the weekend – world No 1, Lydia Ko. “Yeah, I heard that after I came off the course which was hard to take after making bogey on 18. Obviously a few nerves, but the main thing was to qualify,” Senior told the New Zealand Herald. Showing form at the right time, Senior was delighted to have played so well when it counted.

“It’s nice to be in form this week in the lead-up to Clearwater on Friday. I just stuck to my plans and it all went well.” After playing the front nine, then walking the back nine yesterday, it really helped with my knowledge of the course.” Waikato’s Brooke Hamilton showed determination shooting a classy four under par, 70 which was enough to secure her

a place in the field at Clearwater later this week. Hamilton found it hard to hide her emotions after realising she would be playing in the country’s biggest tournament. “I am very happy right now, it was a nervous wait but all worth it,” said Hamilton. “I wasn’t coming all this way with the family not to qualify, so it’s pretty pleasing.”

“I can’t wait to play alongside the best in the business this week.” Shandon Golf Club will be all smiles as their own, Je Yeong Lee was the third and final player to qualify for the ISPS New Zealand Women’s Open. Lee showed patience around the course to shoot 71 and earn her spot by just one shot, denying multiple players who shot 72.

CONFIDENT: James Munro will race ovals in the United States this year.

SPEED: Munro in action in the Toyota Racing Series open-wheeler at Ruapuna.

US opportunity for city racer

JAMES MUNRO has taken another step in his burgeoning motor racing career. The Christchurch 19-year-old will drive for Team Pelfrey in the 2016 Cooper Tires USF2000 Championship Powered by Mazda season. He is the first New Zealander to race in the Mazda Road to Indy. “I’m really excited to be joining Team Pelfrey and the Mazda Road to Indy. I had a great test with the team last November which con-

vinced me to join the team for this season,” said Munro. Munro joins Pelfrey after competing in the Toyota Racing Series in 2015 with a career best finish of second place. Munro’s early racing career has seen consistency in TRS, along with an eight-win season in the Formula Masters China Series and claiming the driver’s championship in 2014. In 2013, Munro began his openwheel career with immediate suc-
