STAYING POSITIVE: Blind organist Richard Hore with wife Marilyn and daughter Megan. Her cancer battle will be his 

biggest challenge ever. 

Blind organist family’s cancer battle 

• By Julia Evans 

WELL-KNOWN blind organist 

Richard Hore has had many 

challenges in his life. 

But he is facing his biggest one 

yet after his 18-year-old daughter 

Megan was diagnosed with bone 

cancer. 

Mr Hore has been a staple of 

the Christchurch music scene 

since 1973 and is now busking 

outside Bush Inn Countdown 

every weekend to raise money to 

make Megan’s dream come true 

and take her to Disneyland Paris. 

“It’s amazing to be able to make 

people happy with my playing 

and it’s a really positive thing for 

Meg,” Mr Hore said. 

He said sometimes when he 

sings, he wants to cry thinking 

about his daughter. 

“It is a wonderful, emotional 

outlet for me.” 

Megan was diagnosed with 

cancer 18 months ago. 

“Basically one day in late 

August, Meg woke up with what 

she thought was a cramp,” Mrs 

Hore said. 

A few weeks later she noticed 

her daughter was still limping. 

“You’re a dancer, you rockclimb, 

you run, you’re young 

and super fit: ‘You shouldn’t be 

limping,’ I said to her. Then I 

realised something didn’t seem 

quite right.” 

After a visit to the GP and an 

X-ray, the family thought all was 

well – they’d booked tickets to see 

Victoria and Abdul.

TWO YOUTHS accused of 

torturing and killing a cat in 

Christchurch have been the 

target of abuse on social media. 

But the SPCA which is 

investigating the incident said 

yesterday it may not have been 

a deliberate act of animal 

cruelty. 

Said SPCA Canterbury chief 

executive Barry Helem: “We 

believe it was not a deliberate 

act of cruelty, but we will be 

following our processes to verify 

that.” 

The investigation, which has 

involved the police, is in its “very 

early stages,” he said. 

A video of what appeared to be 

a cat being tortured and killed 

was sent to the New Zealand 

Herald on Tuesday. 

Two videos were posted on 

Snapchat by a teenage girl, 

who is a friend of the two 

youths. 

She also has been the target of 

a backlash on social media.

Fire rages, homes at risk 

Burger queen hangs up apron 

People go 

yum over 

Mrs Lum’s 

fast food 

• By Matt Salmons 

IF YOU love burgers, chances 

are you’ve heard of Lowsee Lum, 

affectionately known by most as 

Mrs Lum. 

Working in her son Steve 

Lum’s Woolston eatery, Big 

Ed’s Takeaways, almost every 

day for more than 20 years, the 

85-year-old mother of 11, and 

grandmother of 21, finally hung 

up the apron on Sunday as the 

business changed hands. 

“She’s just that kind of 

woman, she can’t just be at 

home, she’s got to be doing 

something,” Mr Lum said. 

“She was always hands-on, her 

speciality was burgers. People 

loved them.” 

Mr Lum said Big Ed’s staff 

were regularly asked if Mrs 

Lum could prepare their order, 

especially the crowd favourite 

the Big Ed burger. 

“She’s got the magic touch. 

She does everything the same 

as me but customers always ask 

if she can make it. She’s been 

doing it so long, everyone just 

prefers her food. 

“She just puts a lot of love 

[into the food] I think,” he said. 

Mother and son worked their 

last shift together on Sunday 

night before new owners took 

over on Monday. Mr Lum said 

it had been busy and quite emotional 

for him, but his mother 

took it all in her stride. 

Before moving to New 

Zealand in the 1990s, Mrs Lum 

had emigrated from Guangdong 

province, China, to Fiji in the 

1950s. Eventually opening

English, Hindi or Fijian. 

Mr Lum said his mother had 

been renowned for her wontons, 

with families travelling from 

around Fiji to try them. 

When Mr Lum took over 

Big Ed’s, in Ferry Rd, in 1994, 

his mother’s vast experience 

and tireless work ethic quickly 

became an invaluable asset to 

the business. 

“She was the main lady, she 

was the boss,” Mr Lum said. 

“Without her, I couldn’t have 

been as successful as I was. I 

could always rely on her.” 

When the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake forced them out of 

the building, the Lums cooked 

all the remaining stock and

gave it away to the Woolston 

community. With the help and 

encouragement of his mother, 

Mr Lum reopened on the same 

site in 2014. 

Mr Lum said both had recently 

come to a point where they 

were ready to move on from the 

business. He said his mother’s 

December holiday to Fiji and 

China with her daughter Cathy 

refocused her priorities. 

“When she came back, I think 

she realised that now’s the time 

to spend time with family.”

12 hurt in Bromley 

chemical spill 

A person suffered moderate 

injuries and 11 others minor 

injuries after a chemical spill in 

the Bromley yesterday. Emergency 

services were called Argus Heating 

on Maces Rd at about 9.30am. All 

12 were taken to Christchurch 

Hospital to be assessed and treated. 

Charges amended in 

‘drown him’ case 

Two youths defending charges 

relating to the Rolleston “drown 

him” case have had their charges 

amended. Originally, the 15 and 

16-year-old were charged with 

aggravated robbery. A hearing on 

Tuesday amended the charges to 

injury with intent to injure. A two 

or three-day hearing will be held 

beginning on December 3. Police 

allege the attack happened after a 

fireworks display in Rolleston on 

November 4. The 15-year-old victim 

was allegedly beaten then dragged 

to a water race where his head was 

held under the water. The incident 

came after the victim allegedly 

refused to hand over his cap. 

Vandals destroy trees 

and shrubs 

Twenty-six trees and more than 

130 shrubs have been vandalised 

around the central city’s Rauroa 

Park in the past few weeks. Ōtākaro 

has spent about $10,000 replacing 

the damaged trees and shrubs. It is 

now considering other short-term 

measures to deter vandals. 

Athletics track to be 

completed soon 

Ngā Puna Wai Sports Hub’s first 

stage – an international-standard 

athletics track – is just months 

away from opening. When 

completed it will offer a 400m 

track, 12 tennis courts, two hockey 

turfs and two rugby league fields. 

Each section of the complex will 

have a staged opening as the work 

is completed ahead of an overall 

site opening planned for next 

March. The athletics track will 

open in October, with the hockey 

turfs following in December.

Abundance of pokie machines creates 

The high number 

of pokie machines 

in Christchurch has 

lead to a high rate of 

gambling addiction, 

according to a new 

report. Julia Evans 

investigates 

THE CITY’S high number 

of pokie machines means 

Christchurch is “overrepresented” 

in gambling 

addiction. 

The Economic Impacts of 

NCGMs on Christchurch City 

report says although reported 

problem gambling rates 

are gradually declining for 

Christchurch, comparatively 

the number of people seeking 

assistance for gambling problems 

is high per head of population 

than nationally. 

“The city remains overrepresented 

in the problem 

gambling treatment service user 

statistics.” 

In the last year, there were 

1207 people who sought help 

for gambling problems in 

Christchurch – two per cent 

higher than the national average. 

The report also said the city 

has more gaming machines 

per venue and more gaming 

machines per head of population 

compared to the national 

average. 

•As of April there were 

1332 non-casino gaming 

machines in 86 venues 

around the city. 

•Christchurch has a high 

ratio of gaming machines 

per head of population. 

Tauranga is the only city to 

have more. 

•The city received $13.6 

million in funding from 

gaming machines last year. 

More than half went to 

sports clubs. 

•Reported problem 

gambling interventions are 

gradually declining, but the 

city is still over represented 

with 8.2 per cent of people 

out of every 10,000 seeking 

help, compared to 6.2 per 

cent nationally. 

ADDICTION: Christchurch’s 

gambling addiction rate is 

two per cent higher than 

the national average. 

“There is an association 

between density of machines and 

rates of problem gambling. More 

machines doesn’t necessarily 

mean more expenditure, but it 

may mean more harm.” 

There are 1332 gaming 

machines in 86 venues. Of the 

country’s major cities, only 

Tauranga has more gaming 

machines per capita. 

The Salvation Army Oasis 

national operations manager 

Lisa Campbell told The Star 

it supported 129 people in 

Canterbury last year who were 

harmed by pub and club pokie 

gambling. 

“We also did brief 

interventions with another 128 

people who were harmed by pub 

and club pokies.” 

She said The Salvation Army 

saw less than 10 per cent of 

people affected by gambling 

harm. 

The report was released to 

help inform the city council’s 

regulatory performance 

committee decision to reapprove 

its “sinking lid” policy. 

The policy prevents any new 

class four gambling licences, 

which allow gambling on 

gaming machines in pubs and 

clubs, from being given out 

for a further three years to 

slowly reduce the number of 

pokies.

more Chch problem gamblers 

“It is considered appropriate to 

continue to focus on a reduction 

of gambling opportunities 

throughout the city. This is 

particularly because Christchurch 

continues to have a high number 

of gaming machines per head of 

population and comparatively 

high rates of people seeking 

assistance for gambling 

problems,” the report said. 

The policy was put in place in 

2004. Last week The Star reported 

that the city council is calling 

for the Christchurch Casino to 

give more money back to the 

community and help support 

problem gamblers. 

However, the report also 

highlights a benefit of gaming 

machines. “The community as a 

whole benefits from the return of 

profits either as grants to 

community organisations 

through the various trusts that 

own the machines or benefits 

provided to members of chartered 

clubs.” 

The report said there had been 

concerns raised regarding the 

decline in funding. 

But it says that continuing 

the sinking lid policy is still 

considered the best approach 

to reducing the gambling 

opportunities available. 

An addict’s story of recovery 


AT THE height of his 

addiction Graeme Watson was 

gambling away about $1000 a 

day. 

It devastated his family 

and resulted in the loss of his 

home, several businesses and 

half a million dollars in debt. 

“I was addicted to pretty 

much everything back then, 

pokies included . . . it would 

be hard to calculate how much 

I was spending, but it would 

have been a lot. It wouldn’t be 

out of the realms of $1000 a 

day.” 

He said he was able to hide 

the extent of his addictive 

behaviour, which included 

pokies, cards, sports betting, 

alcohol and drugs, because 

it was all done outside of his 

home. 

It was 25 years ago when his 

wife Karen Watson found out 

and tried to force her husband 

to get help 

“But she had to realise she 

couldn’t help. That’s what I 

was, I was an addict. Instead

she started to make changes 

for herself, for the family” he 

said. 

Mr Watson said at that point 

he had nothing left – he finally 

realised he needed to change. 

“I was spiritually, physically 

and emotionally dead. It was 

either get help or end my life. 

I chose the slow and hard way, 

like I was bleeding to death.” 

Mrs Watson founded the Familial 

Trust addiction service, 

which supports addicts and 

their families, in 2001. Her 

husband is now the assistant 

manager at the service. 

Mr Watson said if people 

were on the same path as 

him, they had to want help 

and change. “If you want one 

takeaway, it would be that 

there is life after addiction,” he 

said. 

He said the availability of 

pokies in the city does increase 

the number of people who 

become hooked on gambling. 

“Availability is one issue, but 

it’s only one of many,” he said. 

Mr Watson said while 

statistics showed only a small 

portion of pokie users were 

classed as “problem gamblers”, 

from his experience it was 

much higher. 

“It’s more like 80 per cent do 

so in a manner that is a bit of 

fun. But there are 20 per cent 

of pokie users who it’s harming, 

as well as their families 

and friends.” 

Robots for 

new library 


SEVENTY-FOUR people will be 

working at the new central city 

library when it opens in October 

– and two robots. 

Tūranga establishment 

manager Erica Rankin said the 

robots, called Robotic Caddy, 

are part of the library’s new 

automated materials handling 

system. 

“They look like mini forklifts; 

it’s really cool technology,” she 

said. 

Ms Rankin said the caddies 

pick up bins of returned books 

and take them from the reception 

area of Tūranga over to the 

other side of the building to be 

sorted. 

“Essentially jobs aren’t being 

replaced, but staff will be freed 

up to spend more time with our 

customers.” 

The robotic caddies will be the 

first of their kind in the country 

when they’re unpacked and installed. 

She said they don’t have 

names yet. 

The five-storey building is set 

to become the most modern 

public library in the Southern 

Hemisphere and the largest in 

the South Island when it opens 

on October 12.

Busking to get sick daughter to Paris 

•From page 1 

“We were just leaving home 

when the phone rang. The GP 

said: ‘You have to come and see 

me now’,” Mrs Hore said. 

“We went right away and the 

doctor said: ‘There’s no easy way 

to say this, but you have osteosarcoma’.” 

Megan immediately started 

chemotherapy to treat the bone 

cancer, Mrs Hore said. 

“We were positive at that 

stage. We caught it early and we 

thought chemo would work.” 

But after testing they were told 

the chemotherapy wasn’t working, 

Megan has a 50 per cent 

survival rate. 

“There was supposed to be 10 

per cent cancer cells, but they 

found 50 per cent. We were absolutely 

gutted,” Mrs Hore said. 

“We’re not ready to be a threecog 

unit, we’re better with four 

cogs.” 

It’s not the first time the Hore 

family has dealt with cancer. 

“When they were young, the 

girls both had retinablastoma, 

which is what Richard has. But we 

dealt with that, we went through 

the chemo and we thought we 

got through that, we’ve done our 

dash,” Mrs Hore said. 

FAMILY BOND: Well-known Christchurch organist Richard Hore is raising money to take 

his family to Disneyland Paris. Pictured are Richard, Megan, Amy and Marilyn during a trip 

to Disneyland Anaheim seven years ago. 

“It’s really knocked our socks off.” 

Megan has since had four more 

rounds of chemo. Once the latest 

round is finished, she will go back 

for testing. 

Mrs Hore said if cancer was 

found, Megan would be diagnosed 

terminal. 

“We all have it in the back 

of our mind, but we don’t let it 

overcome us.” 

Instead, they’re focused on ticking 

off Megan’s bucket list – a trip 

to every Disneyland around the 

world. 

She went to the California 

theme park when she was 11, 

leaving Paris, Florida, Tokyo, 

Hong Kong, Shanghai and Hawaii 

to go. 

Also on Megan’s bucket list is 

going to university. 

“There’s no point in wrapping 

her up. We tell her you have to 

go to uni, do what you were going 

to do because we don’t know 

what’s going to happen,” Mrs 

Hore said. 

She said Megan has been 

struggling having to talk about 

her mortality so much at such a 

young age.

Road complaints on rise 

•From page 1 


POTHOLES, LITTER and 

sweeping. 

The requests to the city council 

for these things to be dealt with 

have risen more than 20 per cent 

in the last year. 

City council 

chief executive 

Karleen 

Edwards 

revealed in 

her executive’s 

report 

that people 

requesting 

Karleen 

Edwards 

services relating 

to the state 

of the roads 

has jumped from 2409 to 2928. 

“The number of requests for 

service related to transport increased 

by 22 per cent in the last 

year. The three job types were 

related to potholes, roadside litter 

and sweeping,” Dr Edwards 

said. 

City councillor Yani Johanson 

said it was a “major issue” for the 

council. 

“It basically ties in to that 

whole push towards better maintenance,” 

he said. 

Cr Johanson said the residents’ 

BUMPY RIDE: The New Brighton Rd and Bower Ave 

roundabout. 

survey clearly showed people 

in the city were fed up with the 

poor state of roads. Only 27 per 

cent of respondents said they 

were “satisfied” with the condition 

of roads and footpaths. 

He questioned Dr Edwards 

on what the council was doing 

in response to that and if it expected 

the number to stabilise. 

“We’ve been doing some 

work around our maintenance 

contracts, making sure they’re 

responsive and proactive,” Dr 

Edwards said. 

However, she also said 

residents were becoming more 

aware about how they can report 

potholes, litter and the like, so 

naturally the requests would 

increase. 

“I think some of this is about 

increased awareness and increased 

ability for people to put 

in customer service requests so 

we’re likely to continue to see 

more of those for a period of 

time before they level off.” 

Youths abused online 

Parents of one of the youths 

and the teenage girl were 

reluctant to comment when approached 

by The Star yesterday. 

They said lawyers were involved 

over the issue. 

The mother of one of the 

youths said he had been the 

victim of the most “horrendous 

and disgusting” abuse. 

But the girl involved posted on 

Instagram saying: “I’m not here 

to try talk my way out of posting 

the two videos because I know I 

did the wrong thing and posted 

something disturbing on social 

media. 

“I would like to apologise for 

not taking any further action on 

the situation to try help it, at the 

time I was shocked and didn’t 

take the time to think about my 

consequences. 

“The cat’s death itself wasn’t 

my doing, nor was I even there 

as I felt uncomfortable with the 

situation and left like the boys 

told me to,” said the post. 

Mr Helem said the SPCA and 

police had received a number 

of copies of the video from members 

of the public. 

Mr Helem said the SPCA had 

not yet made contact with the 

two youths and teenage girl. 

There is a range of penalties 

that SPCA can apply through the 

court system for cruelty, neglect 

or reckless treatment of animals. 

These range from an education 

conversation or letter, a formal 

warning or prosecution in extreme 

cases. 

“Our processes involve gathering 

evidence and information, 

talking to witnesses and people 

involved then it gets reviewed 

and we make a decision from 

there,” said Mr Helem. 

Dalziel remains off work 

MAYOR LIANNE Dalziel 

remains off work after suffering a 

concussion on Sunday. 

Ms Dalziel worked from home 

on Wednesday and took Monday 

and Tuesday off after she fainted 

and hit her head at an event to 

mark the 73rd anniversary of the 

nuclear bombing of Hiroshima 

and Nagasaki in the Botanic 

Gardens. 

She is being reassessed by her 

doctor today before she returns 

to work.

‘It’s my duty’ – Holocaust 


“AFTER everything, 

do you still believe in 

God?” 

“No . . . one million children 

were killed. My family 

was murdered, how could I 

believe in God?” 

That was the question 

posed by a Rangi Ruru 

Girls’ School student 

to Holocaust survivor 

Vivianne Spiegel following 

a talk on her experience 

as a young Jew in France 

during World War 2. 

Mrs Spiegel is sharing 

her story across New 

Zealand, in what she 

believes is “her duty.” She 

spoke at six secondary 

schools in Christchurch 

this week. 

Year 10 student 

Annabelle Schneideman 

found Mrs Spiegel’s real life 

experience “shocking” to 

listen to. 

MEMORIES: The only photographs of Vivianne 

Spiegel’s parents, Morsko and Tauba Rigman 

who perished in concentration camps during 

World War II. 

“It makes it so much 

more real,” she said. 

Mrs Spiegel, who once 

found comfort in the 

Catholic church after being 

introduced by her adoptive 

parents, now struggles to 

have faith in God. 

“When I grew up, I didn’t 

believe in God, when I 

became a teenager and 

certainly when I became an 

adult. How could a God allow 

this disaster? As I grew 

older I became more and 

more convinced.” 

Her terrifying ordeal 

began in 1991, when her 

father was arrested and 

sent to Pithiviers Internment 

camp, and then on to 

Auschwitz.

Now 


survivor shares her story with Chch schools 

She never saw him again. 

At the age of six, Mrs Spiegel, 

her mother Tauba Rigman, and 

two younger siblings, Albert 

and Regine, were rounded up 

by French police and locked in 

a bicycle velodrome, along with 

13,000 other Jews. 

This became known as the 

notorious Vel’ d’Hiv Round-up. 

“There was no water, food or 

toilets. The noise overwhelmed 

me. Men were screaming, women 

howling and babies crying,” said 

Mrs Spiegel. 

A sympathetic policeman came 

to the aid of Mrs Rigman, and 

released the family, in what Mrs 

Spiegel describes as a “miracle.” 

Most from the round-up were 

sent to Auschwitz. 

Mrs Rigman then made an 

“agonising decision.” 

In order to keep her children 

safe, she sent them into hiding in 

a rural town in the north-west of 

France, with two farmers. 

“My mother told me don’t 

worry, the war will be finished 

soon. I was seven-years-old, of 

course I believed her.” 

That was the last time she ever 

saw her mother. 

When money stopped coming 

from Mrs Rigman, the farmers 

sent the children to a Jewish 

orphanage. 

It wasn’t until almost 40 years 

later, when she was 54-years-old, 

did Mrs Spiegel find out the fate 

of her parents. 

Jewish lawyer Serge Klarsfeld 

released a book titled Le mémorial 

de la déportation des juifs de 

France, containing a compilation 

of names of French Jews deported 

from France. 

“I was hoping for a while that 

they had managed to get to Russia, 

like lots of others did . . . once 

the book came out . . . I saw their 

names in black and white.” 

“Up until then I wasn’t sure what 

happened to my parents. I never 

gave up hope, I thought they may 

have remained alive, I was hoping 

but then I read it,” she said. 

When she returned to France 

in 2010, Mrs Spiegel found out 

her mother had been denounced 

by her neighbour, who was paid 

by the Nazis. Mrs Rigman was 

taken away by authorities. 

For several years Mrs Spiegel 

and her younger siblings lived in 

an orphanage before they were 

told the “thrilling” news that they

were going to be adopted by a 

Jewish couple in Australia. 

Following a six week voyage, 

the three children arrived in Australia 

in 1948. Mrs Spiegel was 13. 

“Then came the dreadful shock. 

We had been bluffed,” she said. 

There was no family waiting 

for them and they were sent to 

another orphanage. 

Eventually, the three children 

were reluctantly adopted by a 

couple, who really only wanted to 

adopt the youngest, Regine.

Now at 84, Mrs Spiegel finally

Her talk at Rangi was “a massive

10 student Coco Kennard.

NZDF dentists volunteer at Charity Hospital 

A collaboration with the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) might seem an unusual relationship but it is 

working well for the people of Canterbury. NZDF has a team of dentists and dental assistants who are now 

offering their services for free to provide additional dental clinics at the hospital. 

“We saw it as a great opportunity for our young dentists to treat more challenging and interesting patients to 

give them a greater experience and knowledge for when they are deployed overseas or in other parts of New 

Zealand,” said Dr Mark Salter from the NZDF. 

NZDF has 18 civilian and uniformed dentists throughout the country. 

The Burnham dental team are (left to right) 

Private Nadine Nitschke, Lance Corporal Rebekah Salt, Kala 

Teale, Captain Joseph Foster and Lieutenant Hao Wu. 

NZ Army Band to play at fundraising Gala 

Charity Hospital Chief Executive Carl Shaw said that 

he was grateful that the New Zealand Defence Force 

had offered to help with the dental clinics for WINZ 

clients and their involvement meant more people in 

need could be seen at the Charity Hospital. 

“Their dentists also bring their own dental assistants 

which works really well.” 

Dr Salter said there may be opportunities in the 

future for other NZDF dentists to travel to 

Christchurch so they can also help out at the Charity 

Hospital. 

The NZ Army Band is performing at this year’s annual fundraising event – the Charity Hospital Gala on Friday 

30 November at the Air Force Museum of New Zealand. 

“We are honoured that the NZ Army Band have agreed to support our fundraising event. They will be the 

highlight of what is always a fun-filled night out and a great way to celebrate the end of 2018 – and also raise 

funds for the Charity Hospital,” said Rosie Graham, Fundraising Co-ordinator at the Charity Hospital. 

“The NZ Army Band also performed at our event 2015 at Innovation Park and everyone had such a great time. 

We are truly delighted to welcome them back – it is such a coup for the hospital to have them there.” 

The Charity Hospital Gala is the perfect no-stress solution to the problem of organising and end-of-year 

Christmas function for colleagues, clients or friends. 

For a limited time a table of 10 costs $1600 (or $160 per guest) for a three course plated dinner, dancing and 

an amazing selection of auction items including accommodation, gift baskets and special wines. 

Tickets can be purchased on the Charity Hospital website www.charityhospital.org.nz by clicking on the Gala 

slider or contact Rosie Graham at rosie@charityhospital.org.nz if you would like to receive an invoice or require 

more information. 

Hospital clocks up over 

15,000 patient visits 

The Canterbury Charity Hospital Trust has clocked up 

over 15,000 patient visits since opening its doors in 

2007. 

The hospital has grown over the past 10 years from a 

single day surgery unit to a complex of three buildings 

housing two theatres with recovery wards, consulting 

rooms, two oral surgery clinics, an endoscopy theatre 

and education and community meeting rooms. 

The hospital’s services are frequently updated 

depending on need and currently include 

colonoscopy (acute and screening), gynaecology and 

women’s health, general surgery (abdominal, rectal), 

oral surgery and dentistry, counselling (self-referral), 

orthopaedics (upper limb) and cataract surgery. 

To be eligible to be seen at the Charity Hospital, 

patients must have been turned down by the public 

health system and do not have medical insurance nor 

the means to pay for their treatment privately. They 

also need a referral from their GP or dentist.

Remastered Rembrandts on display 

THE WORK of one of the 

world’s most celebrated 

baroque-style painters is 

coming to the city. 

But it’s not quite the 

genuine 17th-century work of 

Rembrandt. 

The Rembrandt Remastered 

exhibit will showcase 57 lifesize 

reproductions of 

the Dutch painter’s work, 

which have been digitally 

remastered to their original 

condition. 

The exhibition will be held 

from September 5 to October 3 

in the Arts Centre’s Great Hall 

and will be open seven days a 

week. 

Using the latest techniques 

and art expert Professor 

Ernst van de Wetering’s 

extensive knowledge of the 

Dutch master, the exhibition’s 

works have been digitally 

restored to look exactly as they 

did when they left Rembrandt’s 

studio about 400 years ago. 

Curated by Australasia’s 

foremost Rembrandt specialist, 

Dr Erin Griffey, the head of art 

history at Auckland University, 

the works – which include 

The Nightwatch, The Anatomy 

Lesson of Dr Nicolaes Tulp 

and The Jewish Bride – will be

presented in their original size 

and displayed in chronological 

order. Each will feature 

accompanying text telling the 

story of the works, as well as 

stories from the painter’s life. 

“The contemporary 

technology behind this 

exhibition allows us wonderful 

insight into the life and work 

of the great 17th-century 

Dutch master,” said Arts 

Centre chief executive Philip 

Aldridge. 

“The works alone are 

remarkable – we are able to 

see them as fresh as the day 

Rembrandt made his final 

strokes. Viewing them in the 

beautifully restored Great Hall 

makes it extra special.” 

Rembrandt’s original 

works are scattered around 

the globe including several 

in private collections – some 

are damaged, some are lost 

and some have been modified.

International water course for 

The fight is not over 

for a flat water facility 

in Christchurch. More 

than 11,000 people 

signed an online 

petition in support of 

the lake after it was not 

included in Regenerate 

Christchurch’s shortlist 

of projects for the 

red zone. Julia Evans 

reports on how the 

group behind the 

planned facility, 

East Lake Trust, isn’t 

giving up 

David 

Goodman 

CONCEPT: David Goodman’s vision is to see a $160 million 

multi-sport lake built out of the Avon River from Kerrs 

Reach to Horseshoe Lake. 

THE EAST Lake Trust is 

fighting to debunk Regenerate 

Christchurch’s reasons for 

excluding the flat water facility 

from the red zone shortlist in a 

bid to get it back on the table. 

The trust’s vision would see the 

$160 million multi-sport lake, 

which could host international 

events, built out of the Avon 

River from Kerrs Reach to 

Horseshoe Lake. 

Trust chairman David 

Goodman made a submission 

on the shortlist, 

which excludes the lake, 

on June 29. 

“Regenerate has given 

quite specific environmental 

and social reasons 

for the exclusion of the 

East Lake that we can directly 

show are incorrect,” 

Mr Goodman said. 

The submission included independent 

reports from transport 

consultants Abley, water resource 

management consultants 

Aqualinc Research, surveyors 

Rawlinsons, engineering company 

Golder, and landscape 

architects Rough and Milne. 

It was broken down into categories 

addressing Regenerate’s 

concerns around water take, 

stormwater and the mixing of 

water, severing New Brighton 

Rd, loss of plant life, ecological 

systems and landscape, construction 

and truck movements, 

as well as the impact on private 

property owners. The amount of 

water the lake would use was an 

issue. But a report from Aqualinc 

Research said it would 

only use three per cent of 

the water available to the 

city and be maintained 

by a 40-day turnover 

cycle. 

“While there is a 

moderate risk of algal 

blooms with a 40-day 

turnover, there is in fact 

a moderate risk for most 

New Zealand lakes,” Mr 

Goodman said. 

He said the argument about 

cultural sensitivity over mixing 

water discharged into Horseshoe 

Lake was “moot” compared to 

the current discharge of sewage 

into the area. 

“It has been possible to demonstrate 

that the required treatment 

of 35.6ha could be accommodated 

within the land available,” 

the Golder report found. 

Mr Goodman said excavation 

of the site would take 18 months, 

not “several years” as has been 

claimed.

Ivan Iafeta 

What happens next 

•Integrated assessment of 

the draft plan. Regenerate 

will assess the preliminary 

draft Regeneration Plan 

against criteria. 

•Funding delivery 

and responsibilities. 

Regenerate has 

to align the plan 

with Crown and 

city council budget 

processes, confirming 

how much the 

recommended 

options will cost, 

when they could 

happen (short, medium or 

long-term) and who will 

pay for them. 

•Draft Regeneration Plan 

said the lake would have an 

impact on the transport system 

around New Brighton Rd. 

“But it cannot be considered a 

fatal flaw,” Mr Goodman said. 

“Although some travel distances 

may increase, traffic 

redistribution can be 

accommodated on the 

surrounding roads 

without significant 

adverse impacts.” 

It also said potential 

works on New Brighton 

Rd for the lake would 

cost about $8 million – 

but that would be offset 

by the $6 million upgrade the 

road needs. 

There would be 125,000 truck 

movements, not 400,000 like 

Regenerate claimed, he said. 

Mr Goodman said the impact 

on neighbouring properties was 

not specific to the East Lake 

either. 

“Presumably there will be a 

considerable amount of excavation 

required for the creation 

of wetlands and/or other green 

spine activities and plans.” 

The trust has prepared 15 

different technical reports over 

the past four years, Mr Goodman 

said. “We didn’t set out to 

do a complete pre-feasibility. It 

started in response to objections 

and problems. What can we do 

to help, it was more a situation 

that people would raise issues 

and support.” 

The total amount to be spent 

on the red zone is about $900 

million. 

“With a cost of $160 million 

and benefits of $380 

million . . . we will also 

draw your attention to the 

relatively low OPEX (operating 

expense) in running 

the facility once it is built, 

calculated at $400,000 to 

$500,000 per annum,” Mr 

Goodman said. 

On top of that, he said it was 

too soon to exclude any red 

zone projects because none were 

funded. “All projects, whether it 

be the green spine or proposed 

wetlands, are at early design 

stage,” he said. 

Sixty-five per cent of submitters 

in Regenerate’s consultation 

process supported a lake. 

“To resolve the matters in 

dispute, we propose the appointment 

of an independent engineer 

to act as an expert to determine 

the correct position in relation 

to the disputed technical issues,” 

Mr Goodman said. 

is completed. 

•Public notification of the 

draft Regeneration Plan. 

•An evaluation panel 

will be formed in which 

Regenerate will ask 

about 50 people 

to assess the draft 

Regeneration Plan 

against the integrated 

assessment framework. 

•Final draft 

Megan Regeneration Plan. The 

Woods plan is finalised and 

submitted to Otakaro 

for consent. 

•Decision made by 

Greater Christchurch 

Regeneration Minister 

Megan Woods. 

His submission said the 

expert’s final determination 

would be binding, whatever the 

outcome. 

There are currently more than 

11,100 signatures on the trust’s 

online petition. It was also submitted 

to Regenerate on June 29 

with 10,500 signatures. 

It remains online to collect 

further support, Mr Goodman 

said. 

He said the group was also 

lobbying for support from city 

councillors, Mayor Lianne Dalziel 

and Christchurch MPs. 

A rally in the central city saw 

hundreds of people turn out in 

support of the East Lake, including 

National MPs Gerry Brownlee 

and Nicky Wagner. 

Regenerate chief executive 

Ivan Iafeta said between May 26 

and June 30 feedback was open 

on the refined shortlist of land 

use combinations in the Ōtākaro 

Avon River corridor regeneration 

area, which it is now considering. 

“The community expressed a 

range of views. The petition from 

the East Lake Trust reflects one 

view.” A finalised shortlist will 

be provided to Minister for 

Greater Christchurch Regeneration 

Megan Woods for consideration 

after the submissions are 

analysed.

Local 

News 

Now 


Christchurch is a ‘no-brainer’ 

Christchurch 

can be 

the sports 

capital of 

Australasia 

within 10 

years, says 

Star Media 

editor in 

chief Barry Clarke 

THAT’S MY bold prediction 

if like-minded people – that 

includes those who call the tune 

in this city – are on the same 

wavelength. But I suspect some 

aren’t. 

Christchurch will have 

a world-class international 

stadium, a metro sports facility, 

and a modern local multi-sports 

complex in Nga Puna Wai. 

We have Clearwater and other 

international standard golf 

courses. 

And there’s Riccarton Park 

and Addington Raceway – simply 

great horse racing venues. 

We have a rugby union side 

called the Crusaders, which on 

and off the field, are a worldclass 

professional outfit. It’s an 

organisation based around performance, 

succession, growth, 

standards, planning and very 

good people. 

We produce world-class coaches 

and athletes in many codes. 

Our junior rowing teams are 

among the best in the country. 

They will go on to win medals at 

Olympics and world championships 

in the years to come. Our 

young basketballers are getting 

to the United States on scholarships 

in increasing numbers. 

We have become a nursery for 

professional rugby league clubs 

across the Tasman. 

With a new, and hopefully 

covered stadium, will come new 

opportunities. A Christchurchbased 

NRL franchise is not beyond 

possibility. As we saw with 

the Manly-Warriors game at 

AMI, getting big crowds to NRL 

matches isn’t usually a problem 

in Christchurch. 

These new sports facilities 

coming on stream will turn the 

wheels of the local economy – 

accommodation, hospitality, 

tourism, retail, transport . . . 

Overseas coaches, players and 

sports experts will be able to 

train in world-class facilities at 

reasonable cost, given our exchange 

rate. And also learn from 

winning organisations like the 

Crusaders. 

We have an amazing rebuild 

happening in the central city. All 

of the benefits that go with that 

are starting to come on stream. 

The new sports facilities will be 

within a relatively short distance 

of each other – so no one or twohour 

journeys for teams/players/ 

spectators to get to venues. 

But there is one big part of the 

jigsaw puzzle missing – an international 

standard water course. 

Kerrs Reach is currently a joke. 

It is plagued by weed beneath the 

water and is congested above it 

in summer with rowers, canoeists, 

dragon boaters and the odd 

surf club boat on training runs. 

The East Lake Trust’s plan to 

turn Kerrs Reach into a proper 

water course is a no-brainer. 

Regenerate Christchurch and 

other ditherers should stop shagging 

around and get on with the 

job. 

Julia Evans spoke to several key players about 

what they think of the East Lake plan 

East Lake Trust chairman 

David Goodman said a flat 

water facility would bring 

“economic gold” to the city. 

“In terms of costing analysis, 

Deloitte found on average it 

would bring between $20 and 

$30 million per annum, forever. 

What could that do for the east 

and what could that do for New 

Brighton?” 

Mr Goodman said it would 

also bring great social benefit 

through all kinds of water sports, 

as well as bringing the red zone 

to life. 

Union Rowing Club president 

Dorle Pauli said the club was 

very concerned 

about overcrowding 

at Kerrs Reach. 

“Rowing is one of 

the fastest growing 

sports and 

we want for all 

Dorle Pauli 

rowers to safely 

enjoy the sport. 

So something 

will have to happen.” Ms Pauli 

said she thought the lake was 

the right way to go to solve that 

issue. But she said the Avon and 

Kerrs Reach should also be kept 

for training. 

“Another positive would be 

rowing would become more of a 

spectator sport for Christchurch. 

You don’t get to see it in the city 

as it is. And it would become 

not just an elite sport for private 

schools to excel at.” 

Sport Canterbury chief executive 

Julyan Falloon said it was 

fully supportive of the 2.2km 

East Lake. “The scale would 

allow us to run 

significant sporting 

events 

. . . in addition to 

that, you could 

swim in it so it 

could be used 

Julyan 

Falloon 

recreationally, as 

well as for events 

like triathlon,” he 

said. 

Mr Falloon said part of Sport 

Canterbury’s earthquake recovery 

plan was lobbying to get 

events back to the city. 

“Not only will it help regenerate 

the city with an economic 

benefit, but also a social benefit 

for sport.” 

When asked if rowing powerhouse 

Christ’s College supported 

the idea, executive principal 

Garth Wynne said: “Yes . . . why 

not?” 

He said the plan was “bold, 

Beautiful Teeth

Owner

Natural Smile 

brave and unique” while having 

the potential to bring a wide 

range of people to Christchurch 

with a purpose. 

But Mr Wynne said he would 

leave whether it should be in the 

red zone or not “to the experts.” 

“But do we really need the current 

proposals that are more of 

the same rather than something 

that has the potential to be exciting 

and sustaining 

and would place 

Christchurch as a 

city with another 

unique feature?” 

he said.

High School principal

said the school 

was very supportive 

of the East Lake proposal in 

the red zone, as long as it does 

not impact the environment. 

“With that proviso met, we’re

right behind it. It just simply 

means all of the schools around 

the city will have 

access to a worldclass 

facility,” he 

said. 

Mr Laurenson 

said it would 

be beneficial 

to both highly 

competitive water 

sport schools and 

some schools that 

have previously not had the 

opportunity. 

“If you build it, they will 

John 

Laurenson 

come and that’s got to be a good 

thing.” 

ChristchurchNZ, a partially 

council-funded tourism body, is 

playing its cards close over the 

issue. 

“ChristchurchNZ has not 

seen a detailed economic impact 

assessment on the proposed 

sports water facility so is unable 

379-3589 379-3589 

to comment,” general manager of 

destination and attraction Loren 

Heaphy said. 

However, she said it welcomes 

any new attractions to add to the 

fabric of the city for residents 

and visitors. “As we explore 

new opportunities we need to 

ensure that they align with our 

long-term vision for the city 

and also existing or planned 

infrastructure.” 

Developer Matthew 

Horncastle said the lake would 

be a “big positive” for the city. 

“Imagine if Christchurch could 

host another Commonwealth 

Games when the metro sport 

facility opens and we had the 

East Lake. We could emerge 

as the most liveable city in the 

world.” 

Mr Horncastle, who has 

developed properties in the east, 

said the city needs to invest in 

the east to get people out there. 

“We could have the big lake, 

on a big beautiful reserve and all 

of that business from Twizel. It 

would be great.” 

Minister for Greater 

Christchurch Regeneration 

Megan Woods could not give 

her opinion of the lake as she 

is the minister responsible for 

giving the Ōtākaro Avon River 

Corridor Regeneration Plan the 

rubber stamp.

David Goodman 

Passion drives lawyer’s bid to make 

For the last four years East Lake Trust 

chairman David Goodman has been 

leading the campaign to get a flat 

water facility built in the red zone. He 

talks to Julia Evans about his passion 

for the city and for history 

How did you get involved in the 

trust? 

It’s been a good four years 

that we’ve been working on it. 

Like a lot of people after the 

earthquake, you wanted to do 

something to help Christchurch. 

As a commercial lawyer, 

I felt I had some skills to bring. 

I was involved in the Christchurch 

Business Leaders’ Group, 

which formed immediately 

after the earthquake to help 

businesses in Christchurch. But 

I became sort of frustrated with 

that, so I gave up. Then I was 

out in the east with one of my 

sons who was 

playing cricket. 

I had a chance 

to appreciate how much 

land was out there and what a 

great opportunity it was. That 

was one sort of catalyst. Because 

of our frustrations, a friend 

I just went out and shovelled 

liquefaction. I have four boys 

and I took them all with me. 

I just had a general desire to

help Christchurch, but no 

outlet. Greg Urquhart and I 

were having a beer, I think 

that must have been 2013, he’d 

been speaking with Julyan Falloon 

chief executive of Sport 

Canterbury and mentioned the 

idea of a flat water facility near 

Kerrs Reach. It hadn’t really got 

off the ground. Greg and I had 

a look at the idea and thought it 

was fantastic. What an amazing 

asset for the city it would be. 

Greg and I formed the trust 

after that. I think the important 

point is that it’s not just a 

rowing lake. There will be 

rowing events on it and will 

include waka ama, dragon 

boating, kayaking and 

canoeing. The events and 

regattas will be economic 

gold. 

It must have been a 

busy few years for you 

then? 

The difficulty is, as 

a commercial lawyer, 

I’ve discovered that 

it can become an allencompassing 

passion. 

Just this week I’ve 

had meetings with 

Canterbury Employers’ 

Chamber of Commerce, 

various experts and made a 

presentation to the zone committee. 

I would say I do maybe 

an hour or two of work on top 

of everything else. Ten hours a 

week, sometimes that can be up 

to 20 or 30 hours a month and 

you always find there’s something 

more to do. Yes, it’s been 

a real battle and we’re having to 

fight tooth and nail all the way, 

but you’re happy to do it because 

the trust can see the potential 

benefits for Christchurch. 

Have you been a rower 

yourself? 

I rowed as a schoolboy years 

ago, but that is just not the 

reason I do it at all. I have a great 

passion for this project because 

I can visualise the lake itself and 

see what it can do for the city. 

Not everyone is going to agree 

with you, but you can see the 

opportunity, which is enough to 

keep going. 

You mentioned you have four 

sons, can you tell me a little bit 

about your family? 

Yes, I have four sons. My eldest 

son Tom is studying logistics at 

Lincoln University. Then there’s 

Tim who is studying his first 

year of law at Otago. James is 

in year 12 and my youngest son 

George is in year 10. My wife 

Bridget is a charge nurse and I’m 

a full-time partner at Anderson 

Lloyd.



Local 

News 

Now 


flat water lake project a reality 

With both of us working fulltime 

and a very busy family, it’s a 

juggle. But all four sons and my 

wife were at the rally a few weeks 

ago, so the family is right there 

behind me. The trust strongly 

believes that the red zone needs 

a heart and something that will 

generate activity. In the Regenerate 

survey, most people said they 

wanted a red zone that they can 

participate in. While walking 

and cycle tracks, are nice, it’s also 

important to create activity and 

economic benefit, as well as draw 

people in. The lake will be consistent 

with the proposed green 

spine, which the trust supports 

and won’t detract from it in any 

way. 

What does a day off look like? 

A day off for me always starts off 

with watching children’s sport. I 

love getting out to watch my boys 

playing rugby. In the afternoon I’ll 

either go for a jog around the park 

and then I’ll come home and read 

a book and switch-off. I like military 

history. So any novels with a 

little bit of a history bent, I enjoy. 

I’m particularly interested in Roman 

history as well. There are a 

number of authors who specialise 

in historical fiction, like Bernard 

Cornwell and Conn Iggulden. It’s 

really reading on the iPad and 

EXERCISE: Arawa Canoe Club members training at Kerrs Reach. 

having a bit of quiet time. 

How did you get involved in 

the legal profession? 

My father was a lawyer with 

a firm originally in Timaru and 

Palmerston North. It must be 

in the blood, my great-great 

grandfather Arthur Rhodes, 

who was actually the Mayor of 

Christchurch for a while, founded 

Rhodes & Co. He actually had 

a very strong connection with 

the east and had a lot of land 

out there. I think those sort of 

little historic things are just a 

happy coincidence. But you do 

sometimes wonder if there’s a 

connection or calling to that area. 

Then again, you don’t read into it 

too much. 

Did you study law in 

Christchurch? 

I studied at Otago first and 

then did my Masters in company 

and commercial law at the University 

of London for a couple of 

years. I travelled around Europe 

and Africa for a while. I even 

got to visit Gallipoli, which was 

particularly special. I returned 

to New Zealand in June of 1993 

and started at Lane Neave. I 

also worked in London when I 

was over there, then came back 

to Christchurch where I was 

a partner in a couple of firms 

before I joined Anderson Lloyd. I 

ultimately ended up in Christchurch 

because it has always been 

my city. After school in Dunedin, 

then London, it felt like it was 

time to come home. When you’re 

young you spend a lot of time 

running away from home before 

you end up appreciating it and 

becoming passionate for the city. 

Having been the young man living 

in other cities, you find that 

Christchurch is a great place to 

have a family, settle down in and 

look to the future.

All Right? 

Canterbury men are being asked to ditch the stereotypes 

and just be themselves, as part of the All Right? Manly As 

campaign this month. Brendon Kingi explains 

I DON’T really consider myself being 

that masculine. One way I consider 

myself masculine is being a good dad, 

hopefully, being a good dad. That to 

me is probably the most male thing 

that I can hope for. 

I have quite a bit to 

do with netball – coach, 

play, umpire. My daughters 

are pretty hard out 

into it as well, so that 

keeps me into it. I had 

friends that were playing, 

a mixed team and they 

needed somebody else 

to play to fill their team. 

I loved it straight away. 

I have been playing it 

since I was 18 and now I 

am 41. 

I coach, umpire and ref for girls’ 

teams. I think the parents like the 

idea of having a male coach sometimes, 

because they are different. I 

feel like I don’t have to be as aggressive 

as some of the women are. I can 

be a dude playing netball and they 

see me as a coach figure anyway. The 

women have to assert themselves, I 

don’t have to do that as much. There 

is so much drama on the sidelines 

that our coaches have to deal with, 

parents coming up to them and arguing 

with them, that sort of stuff. I 

never get that, I think because of the 

way I look. 

Having daughters, I don’t want my 

girls to be worried about stereotypes. 

It’s less about what guys need to do 

to change, and more that I want my 

girls’ ideas to change about what they 

can do. 

The main thing I would 

like to see changed about 

stereotypes of men, is 

that you have to be an alpha 

male in order to be a 

man sort of thing. I don’t 

see myself as an alpha 

male at all, I don’t really 

want to be an alpha male. 

I would like to live in a 

world where there are no 

alpha males and women 

can do everything that 

men can do and not be 

held back because they are females. 

No, I don’t try to live up to a 

stereotype. I don’t try and be what 

other people expect me to be. I have 

always been quite a big guy anyway, 

so people tend not to try and bug me 

about it. 

I am obviously a dude. It comes 

back to the whole thing where people 

obviously see me as one way, I don’t 

try and persuade them either way, 

that’s just how I am. I don’t know, 

people see me as a sort of macho 

dude, okay call me a macho dude. I 

don’t care, that’s just how it is for 

me. 

WE’VE ALL heard the 

expressions – ‘harden up,’ ‘get 

over it,’ ‘man up.’ 

While often said in jest or 

as a bit of banter amongst 

mates, the reality is the view 

that ‘to “be a man” you need 

to suppress how you feel,’ can 

be incredibly damaging. 

The latest All Right? 

campaign directly challenges 

some of the traditional Kiwi 

bloke stereotypes. It encourages 

men to just be themselves 

– that’s Manly As. 

We’re not saying that it’s 

bad to be a strong, silent type. 

What we’re saying is that if 

this isn’t you, then that’s all 

right. You don’t need to fit 

into the mould. The modern 

man doesn’t need to look, 

sound or behave according 

to those old stereotypes of 

manliness. 

The time has come to 

change what we think ‘being 

a man’ really is. 

It’s time to move beyond 

those narrow stereotypes 

of the past, and look to the 

future of manliness. 

It’s time to celebrate traits 

like being a great mate, who 

you can talk to when things 

aren’t going as well. 

It’s time to say ‘yes’ to 

things that we want to do but 

we’re prevented from doing 

because we’re worried if we’d 

been seen as weak or different. 

It’s time to acknowledge 

that we have feelings and 

emotions. 

And it’s time to put as 

much focus on growing 

mental fitness as we do to our 

physical fitness. 

You don’t need abs of steel, 

an obsession with sport, or a 

fancy man cave to be a real 

man. Being yourself is manly 

as.

Opinion 

Politics 

Nicky Wagner 

Widen access to medicinal cannabis 

THERE IS consensus around 

the need for access to medicinal 

cannabis products to ease 

suffering experienced by people 

with chronic pain. 

And while the goal of 

providing these products is 

widely accepted, there is a strong 

debate around how we deliver 

it. National is determined to be 

a constructive opposition that 

works on new ideas for issues 

such as this. 

Over the last couple of months, 

my colleague Dr Shane Reti 

has been working on ways to 

provide medicinal cannabis in 

New Zealand. His work looked 

at international best practice 

for delivering a comprehensive 

regime to manage medical 

cannabis use. 

And that work has led to 

National’s proposed Member’s 

Bill. This Bill would widen 

access to medicinal cannabis 

for those that really need it, and 

who medical professionals agree 

will benefit from it. It will treat 

medicinal cannabis the same 

as any other medicine. It would 

only allow dispensing through 

pharmacies to certified users and 

would prevent marketing to the 

public. 

THe Bill only allows domestic 

manufacturing under strict 

licensing conditions with 

quality standards just like any 

other medicine. It does not 

allow personal cultivation, 

dispensing of loose leaf cannabis 

or the personal use of loose leaf 

cannabis. 

Of course, the Government 

has its own Bill to change 

how we treat medicinal 

cannabis. It includes only 

minor improvements to how 

cannabidiol products are treated, 

which the previous National 

Government had already 

facilitated. It only applies to the 

terminally ill. 

Dr Reti’s work and the Bill 

he has submitted provide a 

solid, practical framework for 

delivering medicinal cannabis. 

Now the Government must 

show leadership and adopt this 

excellent piece of legislation to 

deliver relief to those who need it. 

Garrick Tremain is one of New Zealand’s most respected

Readers respond to 

sports reporter Gordon 

Findlater’s opinion 

piece last week on how 

the highly anticipated 

Crusaders-Hurricances 

Super Rugby semi-final 

failed to fill AMI Stadium 

•The stadium was filled though 

(19,500) for Saturday night’s 

final against the Lions 

Daniel Rawiri – There’s only 

two real reasons – the cost and 

the weather. It costs an arm and 

a leg to go there and sit in the 

rain/cold drinking expensive 

beer and eating overpriced tacky 

food. Why, when you can stay 

nice and snug at home watching 

on TV, eating a home cooked 

meal while drinking a $20 12- 

pack from Countdown. Solution 

– reasonable prices and a roofed 

stadium equals a sellout crowd. 

Kim Brown – There is a lot 

more people need to spend their 

money on than go to a rugby 

event for example, housing, food, 

power and warm clothing. Not 

everyone has spare money left 

over to attend a match, at the end 

of the day they need to put those 

needs first. 

Daniel Mazey – Well a roof 

is one factor but that’s a while 

away the way they are going. The 

main thing for me would be even 

the seats in the covered stands 

have absolutely no room to move 

in front of them, like the old 

flip-down theatre seats. I was at 

a game and at halftime thought 

oh good people are standing up 

to get food etc, but they were just 

standing up for the hell of it, so 

I had to go up about four rows 

to get out. Guess I’ll be 

about 70 by the time 

we get a noteworthy 

stadium. 

LeRulz Fran – Maybe 

a lot of us aren’t that 

interested in watching 

rugby. If I have spare 

money, I’m going to the movies. 

Tony Coles – The first thing 

Christchurch should have got 

was a covered stadium, not feelgood 

art work. Eight years on 

and the stadium is still not even 

designed. EQC and the insurance 

companies have beaten the 

life out of Christchurch. 

Sandra Odgers – Cost of 

a seat is way out of my range. 

Lower the price and fill the 

stadium. 

Tony Simpson 

– Seems to me rather 

odd that Christchurch 

is crying out 

for a large, expensive 

covered stadium 

when they cannot fill 

a smaller one anyway. 

Bridget Compton-Moen 

– I strongly disagree with the 

Englishmen. The atmosphere 

was incredible, the whole thing 

was a blast. Even the streaker 

played his part. We all know 

exactly why we are not filling 

it! It has nothing to do with the 

ATTENDANCE: 

Christchurch 

residents 

have their 

say on why 

AMI Stadium 

looked empty 

this year 

leading into 

the Crusader’s 

ninth Super 

Rugby title as 

opposed to 

how it was in 

other years. 

format . . . that’s over thinking it. 

Erina Parks – Five home 

games in a row? What do they 

expect? Families only have so 

much money. Crusaders is not 

just Christchurch you know – 

Nelson, Marlborough, Buller, 

West Coast, Canterbury, Mid 

Canterbury and South Canterbury 

all make up the Crusaders. 

They could share it around a bit 

more. Nelson’s Trafalgar Park 

seats about the same number, 

18,000 and the temporary seating 

for the All Blacks match has 

been up for a month or more. 

So we could have easily filled a 

21,000-seat stadium. Come on 

Crusaders bosses, share the love 

around your contributing areas. 

Helen Milligan – Used to go 

all the time, even went to the last 

final in 2008. Sorry, just don’t 

like this stadium, hurry up and 

build a proper one. 

Sandy Kennedy - The seats 

in the south stand are tiny . . . we 

have to sit sideways and we aren’t 

large people. 

Amanda Holden – It’s not 

a stadium, it’s ricketey old scaffolding. 

Cam Gallie – Not overly 

keen on $60-plus for tickets. 

Karamea Kaz - Simple – 

put a roof on it, reduce the price 

of tickets and make the seats 

bigger. 

Don Gould – The marketing 

is poor and that is being kind. 

As the article writer points 

out, community engagement 

is equally poor. The English 

guys are right, the passion is 

missing. The problem is that 

most of us have no idea who 

these Crusader people even are. 

We don’t follow the game and we 

don’t care. And that is simply a 

consequence of poor marketing 

and community engagement. 

The people promoting this event 

on Facebook couldn’t even be 

bothered to include a proper 

URL to the ticket booking 

website so that when you click 

the link it actually takes you to 

a page where you can make a 

booking.

KUMARA AND PUMPKIN 

FRITTERS (GLUTEN FREE, 

VEGAN) 

Ingredients 

2 orange kumara, about two 

cups chopped into 1cm cubes 

1/4 cup pumpkin 

3 Tbsp coconut cream taken 

from the top of full-fat coconut 

milk 

1/4 tsp ground cinnamon 

1/8 tsp ground cardamom 

1/8 tsp ground ginger 

1/4 cup coconut flour 

1 Tbsp coconut or avocado oil 

Salt to taste 

Directions 

Scrub the kumara, slice them 

lengthwise and then roast or 

steam them with pumpkin 

on the stove until they’re soft. 

Let them cool and then scoop 

the flesh out into a bowl and 

discard the skin. 

Place the steamed kumara, 

pumpkin, coconut cream and 

spices in a large glass bowl and 

mix until combined. Gradually 

add the coconut flour to the 

mixture. It should be getting 

thick. Form small patties with 

your hand. If the patties won’t 

stay together, add more flour. 

In a large skillet, warm the 

coconut or avocado oil over 

medium heat. Once warm, 

add the kumara and pumpkin 

fritters and top with salt. Don’t 

crowd the pan. You want room 

to flip the fritters. Work in 

batches. Cook 5-10minu each 

side, or until golden brown. 

Once both sides are crisp, 

remove from pan. 

Top with lime cream or mix 

a little fresh lime juice with 

coconut yogurt.

Gardening 

Hanging baskets – 

spring into them now 

• By Henri Ham 

ARE YOU keen to get 

going on your spring 

planting but know its 

slightly too early to do so? 

How about sorting out 

some hanging baskets that 

will erupt in flowers before 

you’ve even planted your 

first tomatoes. 

Hanging baskets are a 

great way to liven up any 

area, whether it’s a large or 

small space. Suspend them 

in entrance ways, under 

verandas, decks and patios. 

And what’s really great 

about baskets is they are super 

easy to assemble. Grab 

a basket, many come with 

a fitted coconut liner but 

if not get some sphagnum 

moss to line it with. 

Baskets come in wide 

wire frames, more compact 

versions of wicker style or 

solid conical shapes. Whatever 

you choose I recommend 

getting a basket/s 

at least approx 30cm in 

diameter. 

Solid baskets have the 

benefit of not drying out 

as quickly. But they don’t 

allow for you to cascade 

plants around the sides and 

base of the basket. Wire 

ones have a real cottage 

garden feel. 

Coconut liners are solid 

and ideal for wire baskets 

with bigger gaps. Using 

sphagnum moss wouldn’t 

work on a wire basket as the 

moss would fall through the 

gaps. 

Some baskets come with 

a self-watering reservoir 

which might save you 

watering for a few days in 

summer. I like to place an 

old saucer at the bottom of 

the basket which acts as a 

water catcher and helps the 

basket to retain its moisture. 

When assembling your 

EASY: Once established hanging baskets require 

little maintenance other than watering. 

basket, first soak the liner 

in a bucket of water for five 

minutes to really help its 

hydration. Line your basket 

with the coconut or moss 

liner. Then fill it almost to 

the top with lightweight 

potting soil mix and compost. 

An easy trick here is to 

balance your round basket 

on an old bucket so it stays 

flat while you are assembling 

it. 

If you want to get fancy 

try mixing in some water 

gel crystals. They retain water 

in the summer months 

and help if you miss a day 

or two of watering. 

And now for your plants. 

Choose a vibrant hanging 

basket mix which features 

a range of suitable, seasonal 

flowers. Try adding 

plants in the middle that 

pack a bit of height. Dwarf 

antirrhinum (also known 

as dwarf snapdragons) are 

perfect for this. Or looking 

for something a bit 

more practical and close to 

kitchen? Add some parsley 

or basil in the middle and 

keep your cascading flowers 

on the edges. 

Once established hanging 

baskets require little 

maintenance other than 

regular watering – especially 

during the hot summer 

months. But right now they 

won’t need a lot of water. 

So, stop waiting for 

spring to arrive to get back 

out into your gardens. 

Spring to it now and plant 

some baskets.

Trailblazer the way 

to get to ski fields 

I FIND it interesting that 

Holden on both sides of 

the Tasman has changed 

the name of its popular 

seven-seat Colorado7 to 

Trailblazer. 

It’s almost as if the 

company has tried to 

distance the big sport utility 

vehicle from the car it is 

based on – the Colorado 

ute – and I find that a bit of 

a surprise. The Colorado 

is one of the top-selling 

utes in New Zealand, and 

the Colorado7 was an 

extension of that series, it 

is a vehicle which will do 

all the things the ute would 

bar having deck space. 

Nevertheless, it is now 

named Trailblazer and 

it arrives here in two 

variations, LT (special 

order only) and LTZ as in 

the test car’s case. However, 

mention must be made of a 

limited edition Z71 model 

which is dressed up with 

big black wheels and special 

decals. 

In LTZ form the 

Trailblazer comes well 

specced for comfort 

and convenience, and 

at $62,990 it is priced 

favourably against its 

nearest opposition – say 

Mitsubishi’s Pajero Sport, 

Toyota’s Fortuner and 

Ford’s Everest. 

For its money, the 

Trailblazer gets full leather 

trim with heated front 

seats (also electrically 

adjustable), MyLink voice 

recognition infotainment 

system, digitally controlled 

air conditioning and cruise 

control. For safety there’s 

the mandatory gear to earn 

it a five-star Australasian 

New Car Assessment 

Program safety rating. 

The Trailblazer is 

powered by General 

Motors’ 2.8-litre, fourcylinder 

turbocharged 

diesel engine, the same 

as that which sits in the 

Colorado ute range. It is 

rated at 147kW with a 

grunty 500Nm of torque, 

the latter realised at just 

2000rpm,meaning there 

is a lot of specific power 

which, in turn, relates to 

respectable performance. 

Part of the latter is 

due to the engine’s 

pairing with a six-speed 

automatic gearbox which 

has close ratios so that 

the gaps between gears 

aren’t excessive. The 

combination works fluidly 

together, and the ratios 

are also structured so that 

acceleration is useful along 

Motoring 

Ross Kiddie 

HOLDEN TRAILBLAZER: Genuine cross-country 

vehicle. 

with relaxed highway 

operation and associated 

fuel usage benefits. 

The twin-camshaft, 

16-valve engine has 

a 9.2-litre per 100km 

(31mpg) combined cycle 

claim. That’s achievable, 

even considering the 

Trailblazer weighs in well 

over two-tonne, the trip 

computer was still listing at 

around 10l/100km (28mpg) 

during my testing time. At 

100km/h the engine turns 

over at a leisurely 1600rpm, 

using fuel at the rate of just 

7.3l/100km (39mpg). 

• Price – Holden 

Trailblazer LTZ, 

$62,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

5347mm; width, 

1882mm; height, 

1780mm 

• Configuration 

– Four-cylinder, fourwheel-drive, 

2776cc, 

147kW, 500Nm, sixspeed 

automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 10sec 

• Fuel usage – 

9.2l/100km 

These are respectable 

figures, and if you take into 

account it will accelerate 

to 100km/h from a standstill 

in around 10sec, it has 

the benefit of power and 

economy. 

I took the test car on my 

usual inland route. Given 

the Trailblazer has a serious 

four-wheel-drive system 

and suspension engineered 

for life in the rough stuff, I 

included a short undulating 

track near the Coalgate. 

The evaluation car was a 

local dealer demonstrator 

so I didn’t want to get it 

overly dirty, and the dry, 

well-packed clay surface 

didn’t provide a grip 

challenge; however, I can 

report the Trailblazer can be 

considered a genuine crosscountry 

vehicle because of 

its low ratio transfer case, 

organised by a dial switch 

near the auto shifter. 

The suspension is up to 

task. It has a combination 

of long travel up front with 

the firming and control 

through the springs and 

dampers to absorb the big 

hits from off-road surfaces. 

This taking into account 

the rear suspension of the 

Trailblazer utilises much the 

same load-bearing, live axle 

set-up that is used in the ute, 

although the SUV gets coils 

as opposed to leaf springs. 

On the seal the Trailblazer 

cruises smoothly, 

providing the driver with 

solid information as to how 

it is travelling in relation to 

the road surface. 

At almost 1.8m, the 

Trailblazer is tall, which 

means there is some body 

movement over the suspension, 

but it deals with the 

gravitational change with 

lurching, or disturbing incabin 

comfort. 

The Trailblazer’s sevenseat 

platform is fairly traditional, 

the rear row of seats 

fold up out of the floor 

and provide satisfactory 

comfort. The cabin proper 

is well up to catering for 

five adults, and if the rear 

seats are folded flat the load 

space is cavernous. 

Even though its name 

has changed, not a lot 

has changed within the 

Trailblazer, it is an SUV 

with a difference to the 

majority of seven-seaters 

which ply our market. 

Given the popularity of 

the ute market sales of the 

Trailblazer – and others – 

benefit from that success. 

It’s a serious vehicle for 

the high country fishing 

trip or summer camping 

holiday. At this time of year 

it is the perfect vehicle for 

the ski field access road, 

and with the pricing structure 

it is a vehicle which deserves 

consideration if you 

need a four-wheel-drive 

with high off-the-beatentrack 

capability.

Intermediate - 

School of choice 

Kindness Week 2018 at 

Christchurch East School 

Kirkwood Intermediate is a very 

well resourced school where all of our 

practices are based on solid educational 

foundations. We have nine specialist 

Technology classrooms, a safe and vibrant 

community feel, and stable professional 

leadership. 

We are an inclusive school with mixed 

ability classes, programmes to extend 

and enrich all of our children and lots 

of opportunities in sport, cultural and 

academic areas. 

Because we are a state, co-educational 

intermediate school, everything we do, 

everything we have, and all of our plans 

for the future are designed for children 

aged 10 -13 years old – our Year 7 and 

8 students often called the ‘emerging 

adolescent’. These wonderful children 

are going through a real growth spurt: 

intellectually, emotionally and physically. 

The staff at Kirkwood choose to work with 

these children, and recognise the very 

special attributes and challenges of this 

age group. High standards of behaviour 

are maintained and our children are well 

known for being respectful, polite and 

pleasant. 

Our children choose to come here 

seeing something about our school 

that appeals to them, and I believe our 

reputation is second to none. Come and 

visit our school and see yourself what 

makes Kirkwood the great school it is.

Selwyn House School - 

small class sizes and talented 

teaching staff 

For primary school, every parent wants 

to ensure their child is receiving the best 

foundation for their academic future. 

Selwyn House School has small class sizes 

and a talented teaching staff set within a 

nurturing environment and an extensive 

range of opportunities. 

Selwyn House offers the International 

Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years 

Programme (PYP) and is proud to be 

a leading STEAM focused school. We 

not only encourage our girls to work in 

advanced STEAM fields, we want our 

girls to lead them. Our STEAM Hub 

provides every student from Year 1 to 

8 access to state-of-the-art equipment. 

In Mechatronics, girls learn the 

foundations of mechanical and electrical 

knowledge. Robotics is introduced as an 

interdisciplinary, project-based learning 

activity drawing mostly on mathematics, 

science and technology. Learning is also 

enhanced by additional opportunities 

including the 2018 Space Camp trip where 

18 girls will travel to the United States to 

attend a week-long Space Camp. 

A supportive all-girl learning 

environment encourages girls to take 

risks without fear of failure. As the girls 

progress they are confident in their 

abilities, understanding that perseverance 

helps them grow. A school-wide buddy 

programme provides each girl with 

support and mentoring. 

Learning is personalised and each 

teacher has the time to foster authentic 

and meaningful relationships. Strong 

relationships between the class teacher and 

family ensure each girl’s learning journey 

is nurtured by a partnership of support. 

Teachers construct learning activities 

to help each girl identify their personal 

strengths. 

Selwyn House believes these strengths 

can be applied to academic tasks 

and become more powerful with the 

acquisition of skills and knowledge, aiding 

intellectual development and academic 

achievement. For this reason core learning 

in reading, writing and mathematics is 

a priority. Specialist teachers in Spanish, 

Mechatronics, Art, Science, Physical 

Education, Swimming, Performing Arts 

and Music work with classroom teachers 

to help identify the strengths of every girl. 

The environment at Selwyn House 

empowers each girl to embrace their future 

and develop a love of learning. A Selwyn 

House girl will learn to define herself, 

accept responsibility, form opinions, 

and have compassion for the world. This 

combination of achievement, confidence, 

and character makes a Selwyn House 

education a powerful and transformative 

experience.

Sport 

in brief 

Young footballers get 

chance at Sydney FC 

Christchurch United footballers 

Riley Caswell and Hamish 

Cooper are set to get an 

invaluable taste of professional 

football at Sydney FC, the 

glamour club in the A-League. 

The duo, who both turned 17 last 

month but already play for the 

Christchurch United first team, 

have been invited to train with 

the Sydney club. Sydney FC were 

last season’s A-League minor 

premiers and losing finalists. 

They also won the A-League 

last year. The opportunity 

arose through the contacts of 

Christchurch United head coach 

Fernando Lambert who coached 

at Manly United in Sydney for 

five years. Lambert also spent 

four months as an apprentice 

coach at Sydney FC with Robert 

Stanton, who runs the club’s first 

team and young league side. 

Doell wins golf’s 

Coronation Medal 

Waimairi Beach golfer Allison 

Doell was surprised as anyone 

when she won the Coronation 

Medal. The medal is played for by 

women with a handicap between 

0-18. The competition is a compilation 

of national club results 

where women’s golfers play on 

their home turf, and their score 

is adjusted to account for their 

playing handicap before being 

compared to other players, both 

in the district and nationally. 

Doell’s club played its Coronation 

Medal round in April and she 

shot 81, which was adjusted to a 

63 nett. 

Woodward Cup milestone 

• By Gordon Findlater 

JASON SINCOCK became the 

most capped Woodward Cup 

player in history on Sunday 

and celebrated the occasion by 

beating James Robb. 

Sincock’s 3/2 victory helped 

Christchurch to a win over Templeton 

in the top-of-the-table 

clash. The match was his 234th, 

surpassing his friend and former 

teammate Murray Brown’s 

record for the most Woodward 

Cup appearances. 

The 50-year-old made his 

Woodward Cup debut in 1985 

and has since amassed a record 

of 123 wins and 24 halves. 

Sincock has won four Woodward 

Cups. First was with 

Waitikiri in 1987. He also won 

three times with North Canterbury 

in 1992, 2005 and 2007. 

His most memorable day 

came during his early days 

in the competition when he 

knocked over a Canterbury and 

a New Zealand representative. 

“I played Brent Paterson and 

Mark Street in the same day 

and beat them both. They were 

the stars for Canterbury at the 

time.” 

Sincock’s Woodward Cup 

career began with Avondale 

where he went undefeated for 

two years. 

He then joined Waitikiri in 

1987 where we played one year 

with Canterbury’s top juniors 

who had joined the club due to 

Peter Davis coaching there at 

the time. 

His longest spell was with 

CAMPAIGNER: Jason Sincock, 

has become the most capped 

player in the Woodward Cup. 

North Canterbury from 1988 

until 2007 when they were 

disbanded from the competition. 

He then played for Kaiapoi before 

joining Christchurch in 2017. 

Before entering his mid-30s it 

was common for Sincock to mix 

rugby or cricket on a Saturday 

with interclub golf on Sunday. 

“I missed quite a few games 

because I got injured at rugby on 

Saturday. That was in the days of 

no cell phones so it was hard to 

communicate with people. One 

time I was in hospital and no 

one could get hold of me,” said 

Sincock. 

“We had North Canterbury 

interclub at Kaikoura. I had 

played rugby in Amberley and 

I was going to get picked up for 

golf at the Amberley pub, but I 

wasn’t there. I’d been taken to 

hospital because I ruptured my 

anterior cruciate ligament.” 

Sincock lives and breathes 

golf, frequently working as a 

greenkeeper since the 1980s. 

He completed an apprenticeship 

at Avondale before working 

at Bottle Lake in the 1990s. 

After six years in Ireland and 

time away from the golf course 

Sincock returned to greenkeeping 

at Coringa before joining 

Christchurch. 

He doesn’t plan on stepping 

down from the premier 

interclub competition anytime 

soon and is in with a good shout 

of winning a fifth title. After 

five rounds of the competition 

Christchurch are in first on 10 

points, ahead of Pegasus and 

Templeton both on eight.

Tech on verge of history 


CASHMERE Technical are on 

the verge of creating history. 

If the club can win their final 

six matches, they will complete 

a rare quadruple, winning all 

four major competitions they 

can compete in. 

On Saturday, Tech defeated 

Manukau United to reach the 

semi-final of the Chatham Cup. 

Earlier this season, Tech won 

the Mainland Premier League 

and a win in their top-of-thetable 

Southern League clash 

against Nomads United on 

Saturday will all but cement the 

title. They have also qualified 

for the final of the English Cup. 

Tech have drawn a home 

semi-final in the Chatham Cup 

against Porirua’s Western Suburbs 

which defeated defending 

champions Onehunga Sports at 

the weekend. 

“You don’t want to jinx it but 

we’ve certainly talked about it 

and we’ve embraced it. Look, 

we’ve got an extremely rare 

opportunity with getting so 

far and being so close in everything 

we’ve competed in,” said 

Tech coach Dean Hutchinson. 

When the tail-end of the 

Chatham Cup comes around 

South Island clubs have commonly 

been overpowered by 


WATCHING HIS teammates 

win the Crusaders’ ninth Super 

Rugby title on Saturday wasn’t 

the only reason Israel Dagg was 

celebrating last week. 

On Friday night at 

Addington Raceway, the Mark 

Jones-trained 3yo pacer, Izzy 

Dagg, claimed its first win. The 

horse is part-owned by 

its namesake and his wife 

Daisy. 

Izzy Dagg isn’t the first horse 

their North Island counterparts. 

However, that wasn’t the 

case for Tech at the weekend. 

named after an All Black that 

Jones has worked with, having 

also trained Saveapatrol (Julian 

Savea) and Zacspatrol (Zac 

Guildford). 

The latest of Jones’ horses to 

take an All Blacks influenced 

name is Barrett. 

“We always ask them if it’s 

okay to name it after them,” 

said Jones. 

“The good thing with 

Barrett is there’s three to pick 

from so we can name it after 

anyone.” 

Hutchinson praised his team’s 

performance, which he says 

came with mental toughness, 

resilience and even a touch of 

Having struck up a 

friendship with Dagg in recent 

years, the pair had talked about 

finding the right horse to take 

Dagg’s name. 

“I’ve waited for the right 

horse to name after him. We 

thought if it was a good enough 

to have that name, it should be 

good enough for him to take a 

share in it,” said Jones. 

“He always showed a bit of 

talent early on, so we knew he’d 

be good enough to at least win 

a few races.”

arrogance at times. “It was a 

competitive game. It was probably 

a bit feisty at times and we 

did not take a backward step. 

That was probably the thing 

that pleased me the most.” 

Hutchinson believes another 

contributor to their success has 

been the buy-in from the club’s 

senior players, many of whom 

were part of their Chatham 

Cup successes in 2013 and 

2014. 

Hutchinson heaped praise 

on the likes of Tom and Dan 

Schwarz, Aaron Clapham, Dan 

Terris and Gary Ogilvie who 

bring a wealth of experience 

and knowledge of each others 

games. 

“Tom and Dan are twins so 

you can’t get much closer than 

that.” 

Tech’s top of the table Southern 

League match against Nomads 

United kicks off at Tulett 

Park at 2.30pm on Saturday. 

Dagg’s namesake gets first win on track 

Driven by Sam Ottley, the 

colt showed he has a future 

with a long, sustained run from 

last in the field at the 800m 

mark to win the 2000m race on 

Friday. 

With Izzy Dagg showing 

talent and his namesake 

entering the later years of his 

rugby career, who knows, 

maybe one day the pair could 

team up for victory. 

“He [Dagg] pops out and has 

the odd drive on a horse when 

he gets the chance.” 

in brief 

Western, Halswell eye 

up chance at football 

league promotion 

Western AFC and Halswell United 

will meet in a crucial top-of-thetable 

football clash at Walter Park 

on Saturday. The match will play 

major role in which club will be 

promoted to the Mainland Premier 

League. Western and Halswell are 

both on 38 competition points 

with just two games remaining. 

A win for either side will leave 

their promotion hopes in their 

own hands. Western currently 

have a better goal differential than 

Halswell. 

St Andrew’s beat TBHS 

to lift hockey shield 

St Andrew’s College had help from 

a former Timaru student when they 

took hockey’s Connetics Challenge 

Shield from Timaru Boys’ High 

School last week. Former Timaru 

primary and intermediate hockey 

star, Harrison Darling, scored the 

lone goal of the game with 2min 

to play. The win also helped St 

Andrew’s earn a semi-final spot in 

the Canterbury secondary school 

competition. 

Canty hockey players 

make NZ under-21 team 

Three Canterbury players have 

made the New Zealand under-21 

men’s hockey team to compete at 

the Sultan of Johor Cup in Malaysia 

in October. Strikers Sam Lane 

and Moss Jackson and goalkeeper 

Louis Beckert have been named 

in the 12-strong squad, while 

fellow Cantabrian, midfielder 

Gus Wakeling, is one of two nontravelling 

reserves. 

Williams off to world 

uni squash champs 

Former Christchurch Boys’ High 

School squash player Joe Williams 

has received a national call-up. 

The 22-year-old will represent 

New Zealand for the first time 

at the world university squash 

championships in Birmingham, 

England, next month. 

Put Razor’s hat in the ring for All Blacks coach 

One-eyed Cantab 

Gordon Findlater 

gordon.findlater@starmedia.kiwi 

SCOTT ROBERTSON is 

being talked about as a strong 

candidate to be the All Blacks 

next coach – and there’s every 

reason he should succeed Steve 

Hansen. 

If we want our favourite man 

in red and black take the helm 

of the team in the black jersey, 

there’s a few things we need 

New Zealand Rugby to not overthink. 

Firstly, let’s hope it hasn’t 

become obsessed with the idea 

that international experience is 

required before taking on the 

country’s top coaching job. 

In many conversations, as soon 

as Robertson and the All Blacks 

coaching job are mentioned, 

it’s quickly noted that he would 

need to coach internationally in 

the Northern Hemisphere before 

being a shoe-in for the top gig. 

Yes, our last two Rugby World 

Cup victories have come under 

the guidance of men who gained 

valuable international level experience 

with Wales after successful 

stints at provincial and Super 

Rugby level. But it shouldn’t be a 

necessity. 

New Zealand Rugby should be 

reassuring Robertson that he can 

continue with his resurgence of 

the Crusaders and make them 

an untouchable force of Super 

Rugby, knowing that when Steve 

Hansen likely pulls the plug after 

next year’s Rugby World Cup 

his hat will be in the ring to take 

over. 

Outside of the likes of Dave 

Rennie, Joe Schmidt and Wayne 

Pivac, who are coaching in 

Europe, the logical name thrown 

around to succeed Hansen is All 

Blacks assistant Ian Foster. 

While Foster appears the 

safe choice so was Tabai 

Matson when Todd Blackadder 

announced his exit from the 

Crusaders in 2016. 

At the time, I believed Matson 

was the logical choice and have 

quickly – and much to my 

delight – been proven wrong. 

Some doubted whether 

Robertson could translate his 

success at provincial level to 

Super Rugby level. 

But he did so immediately 

and proved that installing his 

Canterbury culture into the 

Crusaders set-up was a recipe 

destined for success. 

There’s no reason he 

couldn’t do the same with the 

All Blacks. 

Let’s hope New Zealand 

Rugby has the same logic that 

Crusaders boss Hamish Riach 

had in 2016 and goes for a punt. 

Who doesn’t want to see Razor 

breakdancing at the 2023 Rugby 

World Cup in France?

CHRIST’S College have 

played their part in setting 

up an opportunity for 

Rangiora High School to 

qualify for the semi-finals 

of the UC Championship 

for the first time in history. 

Yesterday, Christ’s 

defeated Nelson College 

37-7 at Upper. The result 

means Rangiora are now 

one point clear of Nelson 

in fourth spot with one 

round remaining. A bonus 

point win over Aoraki 

Combined in Timaru on 

Saturday will now confirm 

a top four spot. 

A week ago, the idea 

would have seemed beyond 

a long shot to even the hardiest 

Rangiora fans. At the 

weekend, they created history 

by defeating Christchurch 

Boys’ High School 

35-33. It was the first time 

the school’s first XV had 

defeated CBHS. The victory 

meant Rangiora also 

secured the Trust Bank 

Trophy – a prestigious cup 

contested between South 

Island secondary school 

first XV rugby teams. 

THE Christchurchbased 

great nephew of 

legendary New Zealand 

land speed racer Burt 

Munro will attempt to 

break the magical 200mph 

(321km/h) barrier at the 

Utah Salt Flats this month. 

Backed by a crack 

engineering team from 

the United States first 

motorcycle company, 

Indian Motorcycle, Lee 

Munro is hoping to eclipse 

his own previous official 

speed of 191.286mph 

(307.844km/h) on a newlymodified 

Indian Scout, 

dubbed ‘Spirit of Munro’. 

In 2005, Burt Munro’s 

legacy was immortalised 

with the making of the 

popular film The World’s 

Fastest Indian, starring Sir 

Anthony Hopkins. 

He inspired his great 

nephew to follow in his 

speedy footsteps, and last 

year Lee Munro celebrated 

the 50th anniversary of 

his great uncle’s historic 

under-1000cc world record 

UPSET: Rangiora celebrate a historic 35-33 win 

over CBHS to claim the Trust Bank Trophy. 

“We believed we were 

capable,” said Rangiora 

coach Glen Dunseath. 

“We would love to play 

top four rugby and want 

to prove you don’t need a 

big rugby programme to 

compete there.” 

A number of Rangiora 

players made the trip to 

Upper to see Christ’s win 

which has put their fate in 

their own hands. 

The results also mean 

Christ’s now have a chance 

to qualify for the UC 

on his 1920 Scout Streamliner 

with a commemorative 

run at Bonneville 

Speed Week. 

Lee Munro’s 

record-breaking 

run of 186.681mph 

(300.433km/h) at El 

Mirage, Southern 

California, and official 

run of 191.286mph 

(307.844km/h) at last 

year’s Speed Week has him 

motivated to break into the 

exclusive 200mph club at 

the 70th annual Bonneville 

Speed Week later this 

month. 

“My great uncle Burt is a 

significant inspiration for 

my own motorcycle racing 

career, and his appetite for 

speed is clearly a part of 

my DNA,” said Lee Munro. 

“Partnered with the 

exceptional team at Indian 

Motorcycle, I know we can 

make our dreams of hitting 

200mph a reality.” 

Speed Week will start 

on Saturday at Bonneville, 

Utah. It finishes next

Burt Munro’s Chch relative 

follows in his speedy footsteps 

Friday. In preparation 

for this year, Indian 

Motorcycle’s engineering 

team has worked on 

refining the Indian Scout 

Streamliner which will run 

in the MPS-G (Modified 

Partial Streamliner) 1350cc 

class. 

He’s been helped by millionaire 

Garry Robertson 

and his Ocean Ridge 

Kaikoura New Zealand 

company. 

Robertson collects classic 

cars and motorcycles and 

has long been inspired by 

the Munro story. 

Gary Gray, vice president 

for racing, technology and 

service at Indian Motorcycle, 

said it was honoured to 

partner the Munro family 

last year and pay tribute 

to Munro’s “incredible accomplishments” 

and 1967 

land-speed record. 

“We’re eager to be back 

on the salt flats with Lee 

and the ‘Spirit of Munro’,” 

he said.

one option would be to move 

Barrett to fullback. 

“He plays on instinct which 

is brilliant. He doesn’t need a 

whole series of structured plays 

to excite him. He has that availability 

but he plays off the cuff, 

which is thrilling to see,” O’Gara 

wrote. 

“He’s gone up against Beauden 

Barrett a few times now and got 

the better of him this season, even 

if one always look better as a 10 

when your team is on the front 

foot, as the Crusaders have invariably 

been this campaign. 

“The All Blacks pick on All 

Black form, and Barrett has been 

very good for New Zealand, let’s 

not mistake that either. 

“But Mo’unga’s form deserves 

game time, and it will be 

interesting, going forward, to 

see whether that’s coming on 

for Barrett or the ‘Canes’ pivot 

shifting to 15 and Mo’unga 

starting as 10.” 

O’Gara has signed on for another 

season with the Crusaders after

Knights looking to break Mt Smart hoodoo 

THE NEWCASTLE Knights 

will be relying on their battlehardened 

veterans to help shatter 

the club’s long-standing hoodoo 

at Mt Smart Stadium. 

The Knights will tackle the 

Warriors tomorrow but have 

won only once in their past 12 

visits to Mt Smart and not since 

2012, The Newcastle Herald 

reported. 

No other team has endured 

such a cursed run in New Zealand 

for such an extended period. 

During their golden years 

of the late 1990s and early 2000s, 

Newcastle enjoyed a dominant 

record in New Zealand, notching 

seven wins and a draw from the 

first nine clashes on the Warriors 

home turf. 

But Mt Smart has become a 

veritable graveyard for Newcastle 

teams since the retirement of 

champion Andrew Johns more 

than a decade ago. 

Knights coach Nathan Brown 

is banking on the hired guns he 

has signed from premiershipwinning 

clubs – Mitchell Pearce, 

Aidan Guerra, Shaun Kenny- 

Dowall, Chris Heighington and 

Jamie Buhrer – to lead the way 

this week. 

All have visited Auckland with 

their previous clubs and returned 

victorious. 

“Some of the senior players 

we’ve got in the club now have 

been over there and done very 

well in the past, and I’d like 

to think some of our younger 

players have certainly grown,” 

Brown said. Buhrer, who won at 

Mt Smart with Manly in 2014, 

said his teammates would not be 

concerned about “the history or 

our past record against them”. 

He was confident that 

Newcastle’s younger brigade 

would have learned from 

previous transtasman trips and 

would cope better with the travel 

factor. 

“I suppose the longer you’re 

in the NRL, the less the travel 

impacts you,” he said. “Because 

of the youth of our squad over 

the last few years, I’d imagine 

those travels have maybe done 

a bit of damage to those boys 

mentally. 

“But they’ve got a few games 

under their belts over there now, 

and a few older heads here at the 

club. 

“So it’s an important game 

for us. In the grand scheme of 

things, we need to start winning 

games.”

Public Notices 


RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ACT 1991 

Resource consent application: 

Applicant: 

Christchurch City Council 

Address for service: Graham Harrington, Christchurch City Council, 

PO Box 73014, Christchurch 8154 or email: CSNDC@ccc.govt.nz 

CRC190445 – to discharge water and contaminants to land and water, including coastal water, from: 

• The existing and future stormwater network; 

• Stormwater generated from roofs of individual existing sites, greenfield development sites and 

re-development sites and is discharged within the site; and 

• Stormwater generated from hard standing areas of individual existing residential sites, greenfield 

development sites and re-development sites and is discharged within the site. 

This includes all existing and future stormwater networks within Christchurch City and the settlements of 

Banks Peninsula. The application provides for all discharges of stormwater including from all construction 

sites, industrial sites and sites where hazardous industries or activities may be occurring. This application 

replaces application CRC160056, which was previously notified in 2016. The previous application excluded 

discharges from ‘high risk sites’. CCC now propose to take responsibility for these ‘high risk sites’ within the 

scope of the resource consent from 2025 onwards. 

The discharges will occur in accordance with Stormwater Management Plans that demonstrate the means 

by which the quality of stormwater discharges will be progressively improved and from which the proposed 

contaminant load reductions will be met, as well as setting specific objectives for the individual catchments. 

Stormwater Management Plans have already been prepared for the Ōtākaro/Avon River catchment, 

Pūharakekenui/Styx River and the part of the Huritini/Halswell River catchment that is located within the 

Christchurch City boundaries. Stormwater Management Plans will be prepared for the Ōpāwaho/Heathcote 

River by 30 June 2019, the Estuary and Coastal Areas and Outer Area Christchurch by 20 December 2019 

and Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū/Banks Peninsula settlements by 20 December 2020. 

A consent duration of 25 years is sought.
