Witness tells of alleged robbery on elderly couple 

• By Sophie Cornish 

MORE DETAILS have emerged 

about the alleged robbery of an 

elderly couple in Papanui on 

Monday. 

A neighbour who witnessed 

the incident and called the police 

told The Star yesterday, the incident 

was appalling. 

“They may not be that harmed 

physically but mentally they 

will be badly disturbed from it,” 

the witness said of the 91 and 

81-year-old victims. 

“She (81-year-old) was just in 

shock, shaking.” 

“I was talking to another 

neighbour about it and she 

said in 50 years nothing like 

this has happened (in the street) 

before.” 

Two women who were caught 

by police soon after the alleged 

robbery in St James Ave on 

Monday afternoon have been 

remanded in custody after appearing 

in the district court. 

Maera Elizabeth Todd, 39, 

was charged with assaulting the 

elderly couple, along with aggravated 

robbery, with intent to 

get away. Shantai Lawson, 38 was 

jointly charged, for robbery only. 

They will reappear in court on 

August 27. 

Todd is also facing charges 

for the kidnapping and robbery 

of an 87-year-old man outside 

a Hastings supermarket last 

month. 

The neighbour, who declined 

to be named told The Star yesterday 

she realised something 

was “not right” when she saw a 

car, with two women inside, pull 

up outside the elderly couple’s 

house. 

“Usually when people they 

know visit, they will always pull 

in the drive,” she said. 

The two women knocked 

on the door, which was opened 

by the 91-year-old man. The witness 

said the two women went 

inside. 

She then saw them walking 

around the section and called 

the police.

TARA MURRAY has spent 

months trying to make 

grasshoppers get it on – and she 

has had success. 

The Canterbury University 

senior lecturer has been 

working with six pairs of robust 

grasshoppers in an effort to 

boost their rapidly declining 

population. 

She is now in the process 

of observing dozens of 

grasshopper eggs to see if they 

will hatch, a world first in the 

science field. 

“They started mating with 

each other, which was good, 

because that is often the 

stumbling point with insects in a 

lab,” she said. 

Dr Murray said in the wild, 

grasshopper eggs were exposed 

to cold temperatures in 

winter.

A CANTERBURY University law 

student being investigated for a 

sexual assault has been allowed to 

go overseas on a study-related trip. 

Bu the university’s dean of 

law Ursula Cheer is refusing to 

discuss the matter. 

“I can’t comment 

about any 

of this because 

of confidentiality 

and privacy,” she 

told The Star 

yesterday. 

The Star has 

learned a female 

student has laid 

a complaint abou the accused 

being allowed to go on the trip. 

It is understood it is no the 

same person who has laid the 

sexual assault complain to the 

police. 

The Star has been told it is a 

rape investigation. 

The Star sent a number of questions 

to Canterbury University 

yesterday but none would be answered. 

Said Canterbury University 

spokeswoman Margaret Agnew: 

“UC cannot respond to allegations 

that are before the police.” 

She referred the questions 

back to Dr Cheer. Her phone was 

turned off. 

Police would also not comment 

on the matter. 

The overseas trip involves 

both male and female law students.

More teacher strikes loom 

after Ardern’s comments 

3000 march 

for more pay, 

conditions 

PRIMARY AND intermediate 

school teachers may ramp up 

their strike action following 

criticism from Prime Minister 

Jacinda Ardern. 

At least 3000 primary and intermediate 

school teachers and 

principals from around the city 

went on strike yesterday for the 

first time since 1994. 

Crowds, which included 

teachers, principals, parents, 

support staff and children, gathered 

in Cathedral Square from 

11am before three marches left 

at noon. 

It is one of dozens of rallies 

around the country, aiming to 

get a 16 per cent pay rise over 

the next two years and improved 

working conditions. 

New Zealand Educational 

Institute lead negotiator Liam 

Rutherford said the issues are 

new for Ms Ardern’s Government, 

but were long-standing for 

teachers. “The time of neglecting 

teachers and students is over,” he 

said. The group chanted “what 

do we want, more teachers. 

ACTION: Teachers, parents and pupils were out in force yesterday demanding more pay 

and better working conditions. 

When do we want them, now” 

as it headed down Worcester St. 

But Ms Ardern told Stuff the 

strikes were premature and they 

had left the negotiating table 

too soon. “When you compare 

where we were with the nurses 

. . . there were four offers in total 

before they made that decision. 

In this case, there has been one, 

so I think there were still conversations 

to be had.” 

In response, teachers mooted 

the idea of further strikes, which 

would be two days long. 

However, any more industrial 

action would require a further 

ballot from union members. 

Woman pleads guilty to attempted murder 

A 59-YEAR-OLD Halswell 

woman has pleaded guilty to 

the attempted murder of her 

former partner who she found 

out was cheating on her. 

Virginia Maria Beerens had 

rekindled her relationship with 

the victim early this year when 

she found out he was seeing 

another woman. 

She pleaded guilty in the 

High Court yesterday for the 

events on January 22 and 

will remain in custody until 

sentencing on October 24. 

On the morning of the 

incident, Beerens was drunk 

and drove to the man’s home in 

Riccarton. 

She set his personal 

belongings on fire and left. 

She returned when she knew 

the victim would be home after 

news of the fire, approached 

him and drove a knife into his 

chest. 

Firefighters restrained 

Beerens until the police arrived. 

She told police she was 

disappointed she didn’t kill 

him. 

Justice Cameron Mander 

ordered a pre-sentence report 

and a victim impact statement. 

He also referred the case for 

a possible restorative justice 

meeting between Beerens and 

the victim. 

Crown prosecutor Chris 

Lange said the wound narrowly 

missed the victim’s heart. 

He was admitted to 

Christchurch Hospital in a 

critical condition. 

in brief 

Late night tunnel 

closures planned 

The New Zealand Transport 

Agency is planning three 

consecutive late night Lyttelton 

Tunnel closures from August 

26-28, 11pm-4am. The closures 

are needed to install a new $29 

million fire protection system in 

the tunnel. The tunnel will open 

to traffic for 10min on the hour 

from 11pm-4am on all three 

nights. Outside those times, only 

emergency vehicles will be allowed 

access. 

City council allocates 

$42.2m to town hall 

The city council will transfer $44.8 

million of equity into its venue 

management company, Vbase, over 

the next nine months. The bulk of 

the transfer – $42.2 million – will 

go towards paying the bills for 

the town hall’s restoration. The 

remaining $2.6 million will go 

towards repair and maintenance 

work at Horncastle Arena. The 

transfer was signalled in 2013 

when it made the decision to repair 

the town hall. 

Exhibition marks 125 

years of Indians in NZ 

Christchurch is hosting a new 

exhibition called Mokaa – The 

land of opportunity: 125 years of 

Indians in Aotearoa. Organised by 

the New Zealand Indian Central 

Association, Mokaa will be on 

display until August 24 in the 

city council foyer on Hereford St. 

It features true stories and more 

than 100 rarely seen photographs 

of Indian settlements in New 

Zealand, including the first Indian 

presence, pioneering settlers and 

established communities. 

Bus patronage up 

one per cent 

Bus patronage has risen one 

per cent in the last year. An 

Environment Canterbury report 

said it was a “modest” result, but 

was the first time in four years that 

an increase has been recorded and 

only the fourth time in the last 

decade.

Disney show helps

After last week’s article 

in The Star on the plucky 

bone cancer sufferer, 

Disney On Ice, which was 

in Christchurch for three 

days, made contact with 

her family and took them 

all to the show at Horncastle

Megan, 18, is the daughter

busks at Countdown in the

been boosted. 

Disney on Ice offered 

the Hore family tickets

Fire rages, homes at risk 

ease cancer battle 

The highlight was getting to meet 

Mickey Mouse – who also gave her a 

goodie bag, including a Disney hat, 

photo frame and toy. 

“I had to take a moment and stop. 

Is this really happening? And then it 

did and I met Mickey,” she said. 

But Megan said since Finding 

Nemo is her favourite film, that section 

of the show was her favourite. 

“I grew up with the soundtrack 

and so I know all the words, it was 

great.” 

On Monday, Megan will face her 

sixth and final round of chemotherapy, 

so getting to see Disney on Ice was 

a way to celebrate that milestone. 

“It was something I’ve been waiting 

for as part of my end of treatment 

present,” she said. 

Megan was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, 

a form of bone cancer in 

October. She has since undergone 

chemo, plus surgery to remove the 

fibula and muscle in her right leg, 

Mrs Hore said. 

Megan has had a life long love of 

Disney, which grew after a trip to Los 

Angeles Disneyland in 2011. She now 

has a dream to go to every Disneyland 

around the world. 

“I love Disney because it just shows 

if you’re an adult, you can still be a kid

Blind organist family’s cancer battle 


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

Youths 

accused 

of animal 

cruelty 

subject 

to online 

abuse 


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.

University student Jamie Rutledge to help

Flu outbreak avoided 


A MILD winter and 

high vaccination rates 

have spared Cantabrians 

from a deadly influenza 

outbreak. 

Canterbury Medical 

Officer of Health Alistair 

Humphrey said the number 

of influenza cases 

has not only been lower 

than anticipated, but also 

lower than the previous 

five-years. 

“In spite 

of the

season last year.” 

Health officials were 

preparing to counter 

an outbreak of the lifethreatening 

influenza 

A H3N2 strain, which 

caused carnage in 

Europe and the United 

States. Ironically, the 

strain is dubbed Aussie 

flu, where it originated. 

The flu affected more 

than 230,000 Australians, 

killing 73, before it 

spread to the Northern 

Hemisphere. 

Dr Humphrey said a 

relatively mild winter 

meant people were less 

likely to be crowded 

indoors, which reduces 

the risk of transmitting 

flu pathogens. 

“Moreover, Canterbury 

has a relatively high influenza 

vaccination rates 

which would also lead to 

lower rates of influenza.” 

Dr Humphrey said 

Cantabrians may have 

missed the outbreak as 

the strain started to circulate 

here last year. 

“So there would 

already have been some 

resistance to influenza 

in the Canterbury community,” 

he said. 

Pegasus Health CEO 

Vince Barry said the 24 

Hour Surgery had not 

seen any more patients 

that usual. 

“After very high hospitalisation 

rates for a particular 

strain of influenza 

in the UK and United 

States over their winter, 

we were preparing for 

a high influenza season 

here as well.” 

He said it was a “relief” 

that it had not hit 

Canterbury so far this 

season.

Chlorine-free 

water for 

more homes •From page 1 

A FURTHER 12,000 people have 

chlorine-free water. 

Chlorine treatment has stopped 

at a further three pump stations 

around the city – Hills, Grampian 

and Lake Terrace. 

Hills supplies 9000 people, 

while Lake Terrace and Grampian 

supply about 1500 people each. 

The city council isolated the 

below ground well heads, so unchlorinated 

water can be supplied 

from the secure above ground 

well heads. 

Nine pump stations around the 

city are not being treated with 

chlorine. By the end of the month, 

a quarter of the city’s water will be 

without chlorine. 

City council water supply 

improvements manager Helen 

Beaumont said it would only be 

possible to keep these stations 

chlorine-free during low water 

demand – such as winter. 

She said if residents did not cut 

back water use in summer, chlorine 

would have to be used. 

Half the city may have chlorinated 

water for longer than the 

initial 12-month estimate. A 

city council staff report revealed 

making wells secure at 17 pump 

stations is impossible within the 

12 months.

Orchard could honour quake victims 

The former neighbours 

of two Lyttelton men 

who perished in the 

port suburb during 

the February 22, 

2011, earthquake 

want to establish a 

community orchard 

in their memory. Sarla 

Donovan reports 

A COMMUNITY orchard is 

being proposed in memory of 

Lyttelton quake victims Owen 

Wright and Ian Foldesi. 

Mr Wright’s former neighbours 

Betty and David Purdue 

want to use red-zoned land at 

Norton Cl and Somes Rd for a 

memorial orchard dedicated to 

the two men. 

The land was owned by Mr 

Wright and his wife Megan, and 

Kay and David Commons. It is 

currently maintained by Land 

Information New Zealand and 

has four existing apple and pear 

trees. 

Mr Wright was in Woolston 

when the 6.3 magnitude quake 

struck. 

He ferried other stuck 

Lyttelton people up the Bridle 

Path in his vehicle, before setting 

off on foot to get home on the

memorial to Owen Wright (left) and Ian Foldesi who died in

other side of the hill. 

He was on the Major Hornbrook 

Track, 10min from his 

Norton Cl home, when boulders 

loosened by an aftershock struck 

him. 

Father-of-three Ian Foldesi was 

walking the Stan Helms Track 

when the earthquake triggered 

a rockslide that swept across the 

track and carried him 25m down 

a cliff face. 

LINZ Christchurch group 

manager land and property, 

Jeremy Barr, said as a temporary 

caretaker of the land it was able 

to approve changes with a “shortterm” 

impact of up to five years. 

The community garden could 

fall into this category, he said. 

“There are some temporary 

community gardens operating 

on Crown-owned residential red 

zone land in the Ōtākaro/Avon 

River Corridor.” 

He said if the owners of the 

neighbouring properties were 

interested in developing a 

memorial garden, they should 

contact LINZ. 

Mrs Wright said she was happy 

with the idea. 

“To be honest, I haven’t been 

able to face going back since our 

home was demolished. However, 

I think the orchard idea is lovely 

and very healing. We could picnic 

under the blossoms, rather 

than facing an empty space,” she 

said. 

Mrs Wright and her two children, 

Eric and Sarah, now live in 

Prebbleton. 

The family has already put a 

memorial seat for Mr Wright 

near the top of the Major Hornbrook 

Track. 

Mrs Purdue said the trees were 

Mr Wright’s pride and joy. 

“He was very proud of them 

and when the houses were 

demolished we almost stood in 

front of the digger. We chatted 

up the driver and said ‘please, 

please see if you can contour the 

land around Owen’s trees without 

taking them out’.” 

They had come as mature trees 

from an orchard that was being 

redeveloped, said Mrs Wright. 

“The apples really are wonderful 

dark red with crunchy 

white flesh on the inside. Owen 

was well known for his baking, 

including his apple crumble and 

hours spent (with much cussing) 

dedicated to perfecting his 

gluten-free apple pie pastry made 

for the kids and I,” said Mrs 

Wright. 

She said she would never forget 

the support received from the 

Lyttelton community, particularly 

that of the Purdues who 

had been the “ultimate example” 

of neighbourly spirit and action 

right from when the Wrights 

first chose their section. 

“Then, after the quakes, they 

have watched over our home and 

tended the garden, meeting any 

of the family any time we had to 

face the shell of our old life. And 

now it is no surprise to me for 

them to have proposed this wonderful 

idea for both us and the 

community. Truly remarkable 

people,” said Mrs Wright. 

Banks Peninsula Community 

Board chairwoman Pam 

Richardson said the board 

wholly supported the concept. 

“How wonderful it would 

be to see this garden idea 

flourish. It would be such an 

appropriate memorial to those 

who lost their lives in the earthquake,” 

she said.

John Bridgman: The new man in the 

Two weeks ago John 

Bridgman was in 

charge of the $12 billion 

Melbourne Metro 

Project. Now he’s in 

Christchurch and has 

started his new role 

as head of Crown-led 

rebuild agency Ōtākaro. 

He talks to Julia Evans 

about plans for the 

future of Christchurch 

ON THE eighth-floor of the 

HSBC building on Worcester 

Boulevard, Ōtākaro chief executive 

John Bridgman’s office looks 

out over the central city. 

To the left is the site of Te Pae 

the Convention Centre, in the 

centre is Avon Precinct and on 

the right is the South Frame. 

Mr Bridgman and his family 

moved to Christchurch on 

August 1 from Australia, where 

he was leading the $12 billion 

Melbourne Metro Project. 

Before that he managed the development 

of the $2 billion North 

South Bypass Tunnel in Brisbane 

and the $1 billion Transmission 

Gully motorway in Wellington. 

But for the last two weeks, 

Mr Bridgman said he has been 

FUTURE: John Bridgman has been soaking up the city as he begins his role as Ōtākaro chief 

executive. 

a “sponge” soaking up the vibe 

of the city, it’s people and the progress 

of the rebuild. 

“The organisation has built a 

lot of momentum and is doing 

stuff, which has really impressed 

me just in a couple of weeks here. 

The board is clear that what they 

want to do is keep that momentum 

going,” Mr Bridgman said. 

“My bit is getting stuff done. 

That’s what I’m proud of doing 

from my other work and I’m keen 

to do here.” 

Mr Bridgman said he had a 

“few ideas” about what he would 

like to see done differently. 

“But it would be a bit bold of me, 

two weeks in. I think if I turned 

up in town and I was pontificating 

about what the future should be, it 

would be absolutely nuts. 

“At the moment, I’m just taking 

it all in and fitting the pieces 

together to see if we can find 

ways of doing it faster, doing it 

smarter, doing it cleaner and get 

some activation of the various 

precincts.” 

One build that particularly 

piqued his interest from his construction 

and engineering 

background was the $475 million 

Convention Centre. 

“Getting it done in a timely 

manner is critical for us because 

it flows through into the operator 

and management so making sure 

it’s finished on time and to the 

necessary quality is pretty quality. 

But it’s one of a number of 

anchor projects,” Mr Bridgman 

said. 

He said each project was a 

“piece of a puzzle” within the 

city’s regeneration and it was his 

job to make sure everything went 

smoothly. 

“My job is just to get it done.” 

And once that’s done – the anchor 

projects signed, sealed and 

delivered – Ōtākaro is “over and 

out,” he said. 

“The people here are from all 

over the world and are here to 

deliver stuff. They’re attracted 

to this organisation because of 

the impact it can have. We’re an 

organisation that is going to go 

out of business in five years but 

we’ve got no problem recruiting 

because people want to come 

here.” 

After having spent two years in 

Melbourne, Mr Bridgman said 

there were a lot of similarities 

with Christchurch. Though the 

scale was a little different, there 

was the same “vibrancy.”

“The climate for one, is the 

same. But the people here feel 

very much the same. There is an 

immense friendliness, openness 

and enthusiasm here, as well as 

a positivist that exists in Melbourne 

as well.” 

But it was having facilities and 

events all in the central city was 

what Mr Bridgman said is key for 

the city’s mini-Melbourne future. 

“The opportunity Christchurch 

has for events and attracting 

people here, whether it be sporting 

events or through the anchor 

projects – the Metro Sport Facility, 

Convention Centre, the stadium – 

they all provide great attractors.” 

He said there were few cities 

around the world that had all their 

facilities in the centre of town. 

From what started out as “being 

good at maths” went into 

engineering and developed into 

Mr Bridgman’s passion for developing 

cities on a mammoth scale. 

“The organisation is very 

impactful. Being able to have an 

impact on people is exciting as an 

engineer. The projects you work 

on can change cities.” 

While the opportunity to 

change the lives of Christchurch 

residents is something he can’t 

wait to get started on, Mr 

Bridgman said so far there’s been 

one standout highlight of his new 

role. 

“The one that blows me the 

most is on a fine day I can sit at 

my desk and look out and see 

the Kaikoura ranges. That beats 

Melbourne any day. My office 

in Melbourne looked out on a 

derelict building.” 

But it hasn’t been all smooth 

sailing in his first two weeks. 

From his office window you 

can see 10 cranes looming 

across the skyline marking daily 

rebuild progress – Mr Bridgman 

counted. 

“I counted them and wrote 

it on the window. I was going 

to keep it and every so often go 

back and count again as a bit of 

a measure. But I wrote it in permanent 

marker, so I got in a bit of 

trouble for that.”

the city and Banks Peninsula. 

As part of the funding requirements, 

all of these measures will 

need to be in place by the start 

of December in time for the 

summer camping season. 

The funding follows a recommendation 

from the Responsible 

Camping Working Group, 

which brings together representatives 

from the tourism industry, 

councils and government 

agencies across New Zealand. 

Deputy mayor and member of 

the group Andrew Turner said: 

“Over the past two years, visitor 

numbers over the peak camping 

season have increased 

across the city and Banks 

Peninsula, so it’s a welcome 

relief to have some 

extra funding to help address 

some of the freedom 

camping-related issues.” 

Freedom camping is 

prohibited in certain 

areas of Christchurch, 

Andrew including the central city, 

Turner parts of New Brighton 

and a number of areas in 

Banks Peninsula. It comes as 

the city council is consulting 

on a change to the Freedom 

Camping Bylaw. The proposed 

changes would ban freedom 

camping in Akaroa, except for 

in one area for self-contained 

vehicles. Submissions on the 

bylaw amendments close on 

September 3.

Strategy to 

reduce alcohol 

harm in city 

A CITY free from alcohol-related 

harm is the vision behind a new 

strategy. 

The Christchurch Alcohol 

Action Plan – led by the city 

council, the Canterbury District 

Health Board and police – has 

been developed in response to 

community concerns about 

harmful alcohol use. 

Its approach is based on the 

international 5+ Solution, a set 

of evidence-based solutions to 

alcohol-related harm formed by 

15 scientists from around the 

world. 

Safer Christchurch 

chairwoman and city councillor 

Anne Galloway said the CAAP 

outlines collective strategies 

aimed at reducing alcohol-related 

harm. 

“The CAAP has been developed 

as a local, inter-agency 

approach to bringing down the 

social and financial costs of 

alcohol-related harm.” 

Area Prevention Manager and 

Acting Inspector Paul Reeves 

said police are committed to the 

CAAP. 

The CAAP will be rolled out 

over a five-year period with regular 

monitoring. 

Global kitset business at 22 


“CAN’T YOU just get someone 

to assemble this?” 

This was the common question 

22-year-old Jorgen Ellis was 

asked while working part-time 

at Bunnings 

Warehouse in 

Shirley. 

His customers 

were put 

off from purchasing 

kitset 

furniture as 

Jorgen Ellis 

they weren’t 

sure how to 

assemble it. 

This led Mr Ellis to a have a 

light bulb moment, creating a 

service where people will go to 

your house and assemble it for 

you. 

From there, he quit his job and 

studies at Canterbury University 

and built his own kitset empire. 

The former Christchurch Boys’ 

High School student now owns 

Kitset Assembly Services, also 

known as Flatpack Global, and 

has partnered with the world’s 

largest furniture retailer, IKEA. 

It provides a range of services, 

based around assembling flatpack 

furniture such as barbecues, 

garden sheds, indoor furniture 

and gym equipment. 

They provide quotes and have 

a fixed price assembly database 

with more than 500 different 

products, meaning there is no 

hourly rate charged. 

Customers provide the name 

of the retailer, the product and 

its code and if the item is on the 

database, you can receive a fixedprice 

quote for the service. 

It has raised $6m in capital and 

has now expanded to Australia, 

Scotland, Wales, England and the 

Netherlands. 

In the past 12 months, the 

company has sold more than 100 

franchises and is well on its way 

to becoming one of the fastest 

growing franchises in the world 

for 2019, Mr Ellis believes. 

The idea dawned on him in 

2014, when he was working at 

Bunnings and frequently challenged 

by customers who were 

reluctant to purchase flatpack 

furniture, because of the assembly 

required. 

When selling an item he was 

often asked: “Why can’t I just buy 

the display model?” and “why 

can’t you just get somebody to 

assemble it?” 

GOING 

GLOBAL: 

The new 

international 

head office 

of Flatpack 

Global in 

Auckland, 

owned by 

22-year-old 

Jorgen Ellis, 

who has 

taken his 

business 

to five 

countries. 

After accepting an offer of $100 

from a customer to assemble a 

swing-set, the very next day Mr 

Ellis decided to purchase $300 

worth of tools and $10 worth of 

business cards and go out on his 

own. 

Now, four years on, Mr Ellis 

has recently established an international 

head office in Auckland, 

and employs 46 staff. 

“Stoked to see how far this 

has come from the small 

Christchurch company we once 

were,” said Mr Ellis in a Facebook 

post.

Historian, an inspiration and 

Prominent Lyttelton 

and Sumner historian 

Baden Norris died last 

Wednesday aged 92. 

Matt Salmons looks 

back on the iconic 

museum curator’s life 

A TIRELESS historian, avid 

explorer, prospector, wharfside 

worker, writer and emeritus 

curator of two museums, 

Lyttelton-born Baden Norris 

balanced scholarly pursuits with 

a down-to-earth attitude. 

Close friend and Lyttleton 

Museum committee member 

Kerry McCarthy said Mr Norris 

was a hard worker and a kind, 

loyal man, who had a passion for 

inspiring the joy of learning and 

history in others. 

“He was the classic New Zealand 

gentleman of his age. He 

was very modest and humble, 

he always stayed very real and 

grounded. He was very generous 

in his knowledge and interested 

in other people,” Dr McCarthy 

said. 

Leaving school at a young age, 

Mr Norris joined the merchant 

navy, serving in the Pacific during 

World War 2. On his return, 

LEGACY: Historian Baden Norris passed away last 

Wednesday at the age of 92. 

he worked as a painter in Rotorua 

where he met his wife Alice. The 

couple returned to Lyttelton to 

marry and had a daughter, Daphne, 

who lives in the United States 

along with his grandchildren and 

great-grandchildren. 

The family later moved to Sumner. 

Mr Norris’ daily trip to work 

at the Lyttelton Port, in which he 

passed the archeological work at 

Moa Bone Cave, connected him 

with the Canterbury Museum 

Archeological Society. He would 

serve as the society’s secretary 

from 1958-1984, travelling on a 

number of archeological expeditions. 

EXPLORER: Baden Norris (left) on the ice during one of his 

many trips to Antarctica. 

Passionate about Antarctica, 

Mr Norris visited the continent 

15 times from 1964. On his first 

visit, he dug out the huts used 

by Antarctic explorers Robert 

Scott and Ernest Shackleton, 

becoming one of the first to enter 

them since the expeditions and 

saving a number of artefacts in 

the process. 

About that time Mr Norris 

would lay the foundations for the 

Lyttelton Museum. He wanted to 

save the area’s history after finding 

decomposing fish and chips 

sandwiched between copies of 

the Lyttelton Times in the town’s 

archives. The museum opened in 

1969, with Mr Norris as its first 

curator. 

“Baden was very proud that he 

could bring the history and the 

stories of the ordinary people of 

Lyttelton into the museum,” Dr 

McCarthy said. 

In 1984, Mr Norris became the 

official curator of Antarctic history 

at Canterbury Museum after 

holding the position honourarily 

since 1967.

classic gentleman of his age 

Museum director Anthony 

Wright said Mr Norris was an 

“utterly dependable” man, saying 

he was “good in the very best 

sense of the word.” 

His work ethic and impeccable 

manners allowed him to 

feel comfortable in all levels of 

society. 

“He was a very down-to-earth 

man, but very knowledgeable. He 

really had it all at the tip of his 

tongue.” 

Mr Wright said Mr Norris had 

been instrumental in expanding 

the museum’s Antarctic collection 

with many well known 

artefacts, including Sir Robertson 

Stewart’s huskies, Jens and 

Apolotok. 

“He was very fond of the dogs 

and he was very bound up in 

retrieving them and having them 

repaired for the collection. But I 

would honestly think there are 

many, many, many things in the 

exhibits and the collection that 

we owe Baden the thanks for.” 

A “most wonderful storyteller”, 

Mr Wright said Mr Norris had 

brought history to life, both as a 

tour guide and lecturer, telling 

the human stories behind items 

and events. 

He said Mr Norris would 

always remain a part of the 

museum family. “He will always 

be a part of our story. When our 

history is written, he’ll be a major 

player in that” Mr Wright said. 

Mr Norris resigned from Canterbury 

Museum in 2002 and as 

curator of the Lyttelton Museum 

in 2010, but continued to provide 

advice and volunteer service to 

both museums right up until his 

death. 

His work saw Mr Norris win a 

number of accolades, including a 

Queen’s Service Order, Antarctic 

Conservation Trophy, Rhodes 

History Medal and, most recently, 

the New Zealand Antarctica 

Medal in 2013. 

Both Norris Glacier in Antarctica 

and Baden Norris Reserve on 

Sumner Rd, Lyttelton, bear his 

name. 

In spite of his accolades, 

Dr McCarthy said Mr Norris 

remained humble; grateful for 

the honours, but did what he did 

because of his passion for the 

fields he worked in. 

Beyond his legacy at the 

museums, she said he left behind 

DEVASTATION: 

Baden Norris 

was an avid 

supporter 

of plans to 

build a new 

museum in 

Lyttelton after 

the quakes 

did irreparable 

damage to the 

old museum. 

many people he had inspired and 

befriended. 

“There’s a lot of people . . . who 

are carrying knowledge, attitudes 

and understanding with them 

that they wouldn’t have had if 

Baden hadn’t been around,” Dr 

McCarthy said. 

“One thing he always said to 

me was never let any opportunity 

pass you by, take every 

opportunity that comes your way 

and that’s the way to lead 

a fulfilled life,” Dr McCarthy 

said. 

Fast facts 

•As a child, Baden Norris 

was taken by his father 

to see the carpenter 

from Ernest Shackleton’s 

Antarctic expedition, Harry 

McNeish, in a Wellington 

hospital. Mr McNeish 

apparently whispered in 

the young Mr Norris’ ear; 

“Shackleton killed my cat”. 

Kerry McCarthey said that 

later in life, Mr Norris would 

successfully campaign for 

a small statue of a cat be 

added to Mr McNeish’s 

headstone in Wellington. 

•The brass bust of Roald 

Amundsen at Canterbury 

Museum has a distinctly 

shiny nose. Museum 

director Anthony Wright 

said the only case of Baden 

Norris ever being speechless 

was over Antarctic history, 

when asked by a group of 

Japanese tourists he was 

guiding why the explorer’s 

nose was so big, Mr Norris 

said touching the nose 

would bring luck. The joking 

comment set off a tradition 

where tourists rub the nose, 

forcing the museum to 

regularly apply a wax seal to 

it to protect the bust.

Pregnant women in anxiety study 

PREGNANT women are being 

sought for a study on anxiety and 

depression. 

The Canterbury University 

project is studying the effects of 

vitamins and minerals – such 

as zinc, magnesium, B12 and 

vitamin D – on psychological 

symptoms. 

Said professor and recent 

Women of Influence finalist Julia 

Rucklidge: “We’re seeing whether 

or not we can 

improve people’s 

mental health by 

using nutrients that 

are in your food but 

at higher levels than 

you typically get

out of eating your 

fruit and vegetables.” 

The study is part 

of a wider investigation into 

how vitamin and mineral (micronutrient) 

supplements could 

improve low mood or anxiety. 

“So, if this affects you or one of 

your family members, you may 

be able to participate in one of 

our studies,” said Prof Rucklidge. 

For the pregnancy study, 

women would receive either the 

micronutrients or a matching 

placebo containing iodine, which 

is recommended for pregnant 

women. Participants won’t know

whether they are on the placebo 

or not. “Then we follow them for 

12 weeks to see what happens to 

the symptoms that they presented 

with,” Prof Rucklidge said. 

“After the 12 weeks, everyone 

gets to try the nutrients which 

gives us the opportunity to also 

study the effects of these nutrients 

on the infants.” 

Prof Rucklidge said the university’s 

mental health and nutrition 

research group has been doing 

this type of research for 10 years 

and has published a lot of that 

research. “So far it’s been very 

encouraging. All of our studies 

are pointing in the direction that 

nutrition is incredibly relevant to 

mental health.”

Blown 

window 

traps horses 

THE FRONT window of a 

horse float travelling towards 

Teddington blew in on Saturday 

morning, causing traffic to back 

up while firefighters worked to 

free the distressed animals inside. 

When the window broke 

the two horses were startled 

and began thrashing about, 

prompting the driver to pull 

over. One horse became trapped 

when its legs got tangled in the 

centre bar, lying half across it in a 

distressed state. 

Diamond Harbour Volunteer 

Fire Brigade chief fire officer Bob 

Palmer said they were called at 

10.46am and managed to free the 

horses without having to cut the 

bar. 

The horses were then walked 

to nearby Orton Bradley Park, 

calmed down and checked for 

injury. 

Neither was hurt in the 

incident, Mr Palmer said, but 

there was “significant” traffic 

build-up. 

“The float was on the side of 

the road pulled over as far as it 

could but there was a traffic issue 

with people working around it 

and trying to keep the horses 

calm.”

Mum’s big break at Ballantynes 

Children’s 

clothing line 

hits shelves 

• By Ashleigh Monk 

WHEN DELWYN Wright’s 

daughters were little, she 

struggled to find nice winter 

coats for them – so she 

designed some herself. 

Now the school teacher and 

mother-of-two’s designs are set 

to fill the shelves of the 

Ballantynes department store. 

Ms Wright’s 100 per cent 

New Zealand wool garments 

were picked out of about 80 applicants 

to win the Ballantynes 

Bring it to the Boardroom 

competition, which gave 

designers from across the 

country a chance to pitch their 

products. 

“I thought I had nothing 

to lose and Bring It to the 

Boardroom was a great opportunity 

to pitch my product 

to Ballantynes. I think [the 

judges] liked some of the detail 

in the designs and saw an opportunity 

to fill a gap in the 

children’s wear market.” 

She said her main source 

of inspiration came from her 

DESIGN FLARE: Delwyn Wright took out the Ballantynes Bring it to the Boardroom 

competition with her children’s clothing designs. 

daughters. 

“Warm, quality New 

Zealand-made clothing is not 

that easy to find and there 

appears to be a gap in the 

market when girls reach sixyears-old.” 

“I got into clothing design 

when my daughters were 

young and I couldn’t find them 

warm winter coats to wear. In 

the end, I made them a coat 

each and things really just grew 

from there. I started to sell a 

few coats, and then I gradually 

built up a loyal customer base 

that wanted other items like 

skirts and dresses.” 

Ms Wright’s designs 

range from coats and capes 

to dresses. They will line 

the shelves of Ballantynes’ 

children’s wear department for 

a year. She will keep all profits 

made from her sales. 

“Over the next year, I am 

hoping to gain lots of advice 

and guidance around the 

designing and marketing of 

my product. It would be great 

to grow my brand, gain some 

wider exposure and then I will 

just see where this leads.” 

“Ultimately, I remain 

committed to being NZ-made 

and locally-produced.” 

Holistic approach to healthcare 

The use of acupuncture and other 

allied therapies has grown rapidly 

in recent years as New Zealanders 

embrace a more holistic approach to 

healthcare. People are now learning that 

acupuncture can work alongside Western 

medical practices with GPs now referring 

patients to undergo this ancient therapy. 

TCM Chinese Medical Centre owner, 

Thomas Lin, took his first steps towards 

achieving his dream in his 20s when he 

qualified as a doctor. 

While his degree was in Western 

medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine 

and acupuncture remained his first 

love having watched his father and 

grandfather treat people when he was a 

boy. In 1996 passed all examinations for 

registered acupuncturist in New Zealand 

and became a member of The New 

Zealand Register of Acupuncturists (NZRA) 

and ACC treatment provider. 

There are currently more than 20,000 

people on the books at Lin’s Riccarton 

practice, and he says that there is no 

such thing as a typical client. 

“Many people think that acupuncture is 

just for pain relief and musculoskeletal 

injuries, but it can be used for all kinds of 

ailments. 

We regularly see clients with sinusitis and 

allergies, flu and general low immunity, 

headaches and migraines, insomnia, 

stress, and all kind of digestive disorders 

ChCh Clinic: Mon-Fri 9am - 6pm Sat & Sun 9am - 5:30pm 

www.tcmchristchurch.com | office@tcmchristchurch.com 

and even mental health conditions. 

I have a particular interest in pregnancy 

and fertility, and also see a lot of cancer 

clients." 

While acupuncture is not a “miracle cure”, 

Lin says it can often enhance the quality 

of someone’s life and help to extend it. 

With over 800 acupuncturists currently 

practicing in New Zealand, finding 

the right one can be something of a 

minefield. 

Acupuncture New Zealand (AcupNZ) 

recommends prospective patients select 

an acupuncturist from their membership 

database to ensure the highest standards 

of care. 

ADVERTORIAL 

TCM Chinese medical centre founder, Thomas Lin. 

“We want acupuncture and Traditional 

Chinese Medicine to become the norm 

rather than the exception. Many of our 

clients see us when Western medicine 

hasn't worked for them and they have 

all but given up hope. However, once 

people do try it a door opens for them."

Opinion 

WE HAVE all heard of 

concussion, but I’m not 

sure that I fully appreciated 

how serious it can be, until 

the emergency doctor 

explained to me that when 

your head hits the ground 

your brain doesn’t stop 

moving. 

It hits the skull – and 

the kind of injury that can 

cause does not show up on 

an x-ray, MRI or CT scan. 

Having been an MP 

for so many years, I have 

been very aware of head

Hore’s challenge to 

raise enough money

Megan, 18, to 

Disneyland Paris after 

she was diagnosed 

with bone cancer

– Dear Richard, thinking 

very much of you and your 

family, especially Megan. 

I remember you so well. 

We live in NSW, Australia, 

now. So hoping that 

be so serious. 

Of course I was 

unconscious when I hit 

the ground, so I have no 

memory of the fall. 

However, what I do 

remember is the incredible 

kindness of the people 

who were at the Peace Bell 

for the World Peace Day 

ceremony, the first-aid 

trained staff member from 

the Botanic Gardens, the 

paramedics from St John 

and the wonderful team at 

the emergency department 

at Christchurch Hospital. 

Fortunately for me, 

a week at home seems 

to have got me back in 

reasonable shape. 

Megan can realise her 

dreams. Much love. 

Deirdre Lynch – 

Thinking of you all. 

Have always enjoyed 

your playing at city malls 

Richard with your beloved 

black lab beneath your feet. 

Justine Fogarty – I 

have enjoyed his playing 

at Church Corner 

Countdown. Good luck 

for your fundraising and 

blessings to your family. 

But it has been a wakeup 

call. 

Life can change course 

in an instant. 

At the same time I have 

been so impressed with 

the quality of our public 

health system, which is 

so responsive in times 

of need. I’m using this 

column to express my 

gratitude to each and every 

one of you, who devote 

your lives to the care of 

others. Thank you.

Opinion 

•Watch the debate over a water sports 

facility on www.star.kiwi 

Previous bid to create water sport facility 

Last week 


aired the 

contentious 

issue 

over why 

Christchurch 

needs an international 

flat water facility. Today 

businessman and 

rowing identity James 

Sheehan turns back the 

pages 

IN THE year 2000 The Lake 

Isaac Trust was formed to build a 

purpose-built water sports park 

suitable for not just rowing but 

numerous other sports on land 

valued at $4 million. 

The land had been gifted to the 

trust by Lady Diana Isaac and her 

Conservation Trust. 

The city council backed the 

then $33 million dollar project 

with a planned $11 million 

contribution from its Long Term 

Plan. 

Without going into lengthy 

THIS PAST Friday night, 

Cantabrians were treated to 

the All Blacks playing in our 

city again as the Game of Three 

Halves event saw them taking on 

both Canterbury and Otago. 

With the loss of All Blacks tests 

over the last few years due to a 

lack of venues, it was wonderful 

to see the black jersey being worn 

on the field in the home of rugby 

again. 

Before the game, I was 

lucky enough to welcome 

three of the players, Ardie 

Savea, Scott Barrett and Jack 

Goodhue to Hillmorton High 

for a school assembly and a skills 

session with some keen young 

players. 

While obviously just getting to 

meet the All Blacks was going to 

be a highlight for the students, 

the question and answer session 

detail the project was stopped by 

Mayor Garry Moore and certain 

councillors along with Christchurch 

International Airport who 

said it could not be done due to 

bird strike issues. 

The airport raised issues like 

attracting more people to the 

area, which would increase the 

likelihood of rubbish, traffic 

issues on Johns Rd, the dump at 

Waimairi and obviously a large 

body of water near the airport. 

Oh, how we forget as a city and 

now 18 years on and still nothing 

of a water sports facility. 

However, we do have an 

expanded airport shopping 

facility attracting people to the 

area, quarrying and large pits in 

the same area that the trust was 

going to develop, a new Johns Rd 

which includes and underground 

cycleway (as proposed by the 

Lake Isaac Trust) to relieve traffic 

and people around the area and a 

dump that is now closed at Waimairi 

therefore the birds do not 

fly from the river over the airport 

to a previous feeding ground. 

This city council would rather 

spend money on cycleways that 

Politics 

Megan Woods 

they held at the assembly absolutely 

blew me away. 

Ardie Savea spoke about the 

struggles he had reading at 

school and now how important 

reading is to him now. The look 

on the young people’s faces to see 

someone they admire so much 

talking about such a personal issue 

and how he overcame it were 

amazing. It was a really touching 

moment and a great reminder 

of why Kiwis look up to the All 

Blacks so much. 

This whole event was a great 

reminder of why the city is

Trust in a bid to get a flat water facility, like the East Lake 

(above) established in the city. 

are under-utilised than get in 

behind a project that would see 

2000-plus athletic people including 

school children utilising the 

venue each and every week. 

We are not just talking about 

the sport of rowing but many 

other recreational uses. 

Also rowing is not just a sport 

for elite children. 

Tell that to the parents of the 

many boys at Shirley Boys’ High 

School who in recent years have 

met with great success, or the 

looking forward to our new 

stadium. The Government put 

$300 million on the table in this 

year’s Budget to help make it 

happen, and now the city council 

has brought its funding forward 

as well. The next step is getting 

a business case worked up and 

we’re on good track to see progress 

soon. 

I know all of Christchurch, 

and especially our young people, 

will be looking forward to the 

day we can see the All Blacks run 

out on to the field for their next 

Christchurch test match. 

parents of the kids from Cashmere 

High School who make 

their way by bike to Kerrs Reach. 

Sport is for everyone. 

We have an epidemic of diabetes 

and obesity but what do we do 

to solve the issue? 

Have a talkfest and bring up 

the reasons (like previous city 

councils which had the opportunity) 

to say why we can’t instead 

of why we can. 

The Christchurch sporting 

community has not had a 

“sports” voice on the city council 

since the passing of the great 

Graham Condon. 

We could have had a lake years 

ago and held the 2010 world rowing 

championships (that went to 

Karapiro) which was the aim of 

the trust at that time. 

But what have we got today . . . 

nowhere. 

Still a dirty open sewer called 

the Avon River with non-maintained 

unsafe banks, a river full 

of weed (not adequately dredged 

since the days of the Christchurch 

Drainage Board bucket 

dredges). 

One can only assume that the 

city managers are quite happy sitting 

on their hands waiting for a 

major incident to occur between 

all of the varied river uses on an 

overcrowded unsafe Kerrs Reach, 

so then they can implement their 

health and safety policy and put 

some orange cones out to divert 

users elsewhere. Oh that’s right, 

there is no elsewhere, 18 years on. 

That’s just water sports issues 

in the city, shall we talk about a 

stadium? 

All Blacks visit a reminder of how much we need a stadium 

BIG MOMENT: Hillmorton High School student Isley Fakalata 

gets a photo with All Blacks loose forward Ardie Savea when 

three members of the team visited the school last week.

GARDENING 

ADVICE with 

Strawberries are one of the easiest fruits to grow. They need 

maximum sun and maximum heat to produce sweet juicy fruit. Start 

planting now through to early spring for a bumper summer crop. 

With a Daltons Premium Strawberry pack, your strawberries will be 

tasty, juicy delights! 

QUESTION 

We have two dogs and I was wondering what is the best way to repair the damaged 

lawn and how to sort where the lawn has been killed from urine? 

Today’s winning question came from Ange Sullivan. Congratulations! 

ANSWER 

With two dogs on your property, having a perfect lawn is virtually impossible! Dogs need 

plenty of exercise and love running and rolling on lawns. However, one strategy is to divide 

your lawn into separate areas with the most highly visible area being fenced off from 

your dogs and/or rotate the areas in which the dogs can play. To help 

damaged lawn, apply water immediately to areas where the dogs have 

urinated to dilute it and lessen the severe burning effect. 

You can repair the patches, but leave any lawn work until the 

soil warms up eg: from late September/early October. If the 

area is small, use Daltons Premium Lawn Patching Gold, 

which has everything you need in one bag - lawn soil, seed 

and fertiliser. Remove the affected grass and soil and at 

least 15cm beyond it. Add Daltons Premium Lawn 

Patching Gold to the area, level it out and then 

water gently. 

If the area is larger, you will need to resow the lawn. 

Apply Daltons Premium Lawn Soil to a depth of 3cm 

over the entire area and rake gently. Sprinkle the seed on 

the surface of the soil in an even pattern, walking away 

from the starting point so you are not standing on the 

seed, and water gently. 

The reality is that there is a trade-off between enjoying your 

dogs and enjoying your lawn. Possibly longer walks outside 

your property on a daily basis might help reduce the amount 

of time they spend on your lawn and reduce the damage. For 

more gardening advice and tips, check out our How to Grow 

Lawns guide at www.daltons.co.nz/how-to-guides

Weed cuisine from your backyard 

FANCY a tangy wild pesto 

made from weeds? This is 

just one of the many ways you 

can befriend common weeds 

that like to take up residence in 

your garden patches and flower 

beds. 

In this day and age of 

convenience shopping, weeds are 

not plants most people would 

consider eating on a regular 

basis. 

We have become wary of 

anything that comes without 

shrink wrap or a barcode. 

However, wild green plants 

(aka weeds) are still collected in 

many countries, supplying major 

sources of trace elements and 

vitamins in the diet. 

It is easy to forget that 

most fruits and vegetables 

occur somewhere naturally 

as weeds. 

Every vegetable 

food cultivated today was once 

a wild plant, although most 

have been ‘improved’ beyond 

recognition. 

Wild vegetables have specific 

genetic qualities that tend to get 

bred out during cultivation such 

as resistance to disease, resilience 

to climatic variations and longer 

flowering seasons. 

While the practice of foraging 

for wild greens may not be 

a component of your food 

gathering strategies as yet, you 

may be pleasantly surprised to 

find that some of these healthgiving 

plants are growing right 

under your nose in your own 

patch. 

Time to head out to the garden 

and scrutinise your weeds with 

edibility in mind. 

Instead of cursing those pesky 

weeds, pick yourself a handful of 

a wilder variety of greens. 

Give them a vigorous rinse 

under flowing tap water and 

whip up a batch of pesto. 

All edible wild greens are very 

high in chlorophyll. 

Chlorophyll is rich in 

digestive enzymes, which 

can assist in the digestion of 

heavier foods like starches and 

proteins. 

It is best to consume these 

plants fresh as cooking destroys 

these enzymes. 

WILD: Chickweed is not 

considered for eating.

Sport 

• By Gordon Findlater 

DIPS IN form from the top two 

sides have left this weekend’s UC 

Championship semi-finals wide 

open. 

A fortnight ago Christchurch 

Boys’ High School and Christ’s 

College stood out as the two 

clear favourites in the competition. 

However, CBHS’ 33-35 

loss to Rangiora High School 

earlier this month and Christ’s 

15-20 loss to Timaru Boys’ 

High School on Saturday have 

signalled the favourites can be 

triumphed. 

This Saturday Christ’s host St 

Bede’s College while CBHS will 

be looking for redemption when 

they host Rangiora in the other 

semi-final. 

CBHS captain Louie Chapman 

believes playing Rangiora 

again will provide extra motivation 

for the defending champions. 

“We know they’re a great side 

and they showed that when they 

knocked us over,” said Chapman. 

“They’re a really physical team 

. . . they came in with a full head 

of steam and that’s probably why 

they won the match.” 

It’s not just a spot in the UC 

Championship final that is at 

stake for CBHS and Rangiora. 

The do or die game will see the 

Moascar Cup – New Zealand’s 

equivalent of the Ranfurly 

Shield – up for grabs. The Trust 

Bank Cup – the South Island 

equivalent – which Rangiora 

won from CBHS will also be up 

for grabs. 

Chapman pointed towards

Form slump leaves semis 

with no clear favourite 

defence as a work on this week 

as his side look to turn the tables 

on the result 12 days ago. 

“If you let in 35 points against 

any team like we did against 

Rangiora you’re going to have a 

tough time beating them,” said 

Chapman. 

Going off round-robin results 

the semi-final between Christ’s 

and St Bede’s should be just as 

intriguing. When the two teams 

met in June Christ’s narrowly 

took the spoils 23-17. 

Both matches at CBHS and 

Christ’s kick off at 2.45pm. 

Coxswain 

Bocock makes 

rowing history 

• By Jacob Page 

AVON’S NATALIE Bocock has 

become the first woman to cox 

a men’s crew to a medal at world 

championship level. 

The 21-year-old won a silver 

medal with the men’s coxed four, 

which included her Avon clubmate 

Ben Taylor at the under-23 

world championships in Poznan, 

Poland. 

The former St Margaret’s pupil 

was a novice rower in her first 

year in year 9 before making the 

transition to being a coxswain in 

year 10. 

Her former rowing coach at St 

Margaret’s, Trudy Keys said she 

always showed an aptitude for the 

role. 

“After her first year of being in 

a novice crew, her light weight 

meant she made the decision to be 

a cox,” she said. 

“She always had a commanding 

presence about her and she grew 

into being a leader with our squad 

and the school,” Keys said. 

In her final Maadi Cup national 

secondary schools regatta on Lake 

Ruataniwha near Twizel, in 2014, 

Bocock was awarded the Simon 

Briggs Trophy for top coxswain at 

the regatta. 

She collected eight Maadi 

Cup medals over her four 

campaigns, one as a rower and 

three as a coxswain with three 

gold medals, two silvers and three 

bronzes. 

Since then, she has been part 

of the Southern Regional High 

Performance Centre where she 

has gone on to represent New 

Zealand at international agegroup 

level. 

Keys said Bocock was a natural 

competitor and that likely helped 

her make the move to a men’s 

boat. 

“She’s very determined and she 

got some good mentoring while 

she was here and passed that on to 

Lucy Davidson who is now rowing 

at Otago University.” 

Give the championship final a worthy venue 

FOR THE second year in a row 

the UC Championship final is 

destined to be played at the home 

ground of the top qualifying 

finalist instead of the traditional 

venue Rugby Park. 

Why you ask? Well there 

doesn’t appear to be any major 

wall preventing it from happening 

other than there being a worry 

the pitch could be made heavy 

for its use as Canterbury’s home 

training ground and because 

hosting a home final gives the top 

qualifier a reward for their work 

earlier in the year. 

It was bad enough we had to 

host this year’s Super Rugby final 

in the giant marquee at Addington 

held together by Blu-Tack 

and goodwill. Why shouldn’t 

One-eyed Cantab 

Gordon Findlater 

gordon.findlater@starmedia.kiwi 

we let the region’s secondary 

school final be played at a venue 

it deserves. 

Last year’s final saw a move 

away from Rugby Park when 

Christchurch Boys’ High School 

hosted Timaru Boys’ High 

School. 

The spectacle was nothing on 

its final predecessors at Rugby 

Park – which are some of the best 

atmospheres I’ve witnessed at a 

game of rugby – and unfortunately 

it looks like this may not 

be a one off. 

The final needs Rugby Park, 

especially if we get the match-up 

we’ve been wanting but denied 

for the past two years. 

Saturday is the third year in 

a row traditional rivals CBHS 

and Christ’s have qualified one 

and two for the play-offs. But, 

we are yet to get what would 

undoubtedly be one of the most 

hyped matches of rugby in 

Christchurch in years . . . surely 

the stage is deserving of Rugby 

Park. Heck I’d even have it at 

the Addington marquee and use 

next Saturday’s Canterbury v 

Wellington Mitre 10 Cup match 

as a curtain-raiser. 

Speaking of the Canterbury 

match . . . 

The Canterbury Rugby Football 

Union has already moved 

next weekend’s UC Championship 

final from Saturday to 

Sunday so it doesn’t clash with 

Canterbury’s match with Wellington. 

However, is that in itself a fair 

enough reason to move the game 

to Sunday? As far as I’m aware 

Sky are able to film both games, 

so where is the clash? 

There’s likely two reasons. 

There’s a good chance Christ’s 

College – who are coached by 

Canterbury assistant coach 

Reuben Thorne – will be playing 

in the final. The man has accomplished 

a lot but even he isn’t 

capable of being in two different 

places at ones. 

The other reason is likely to 

make sure the Mitre 10 Cup 

game doesn’t miss out on ticket 

sales. In that case you would 

think the least the CRFU could 

do is offer up Rugby Park for 

Sunday’s big match as a token 

gesture. 

Come on CRFU, let these boys 

play on a stage worthy of what for 

many of them will be the biggest 

game they ever compete in.




Sport 

in brief 

Canty nets under-23 

basketball title again 

Canterbury successfully 

defended their men’s national 

basketball title at the under-23 

championship in Porirua at 

the weekend. They retained 

the title by defeating Auckland 

99-80 in the final. Sam Lees 

scored 25 points in the final 

and was named tournament 

MVP. Sam Smith was also 

named in the tournament 

team. The Canterbury women’s 

team finished second at the 

championship where they 

lost 52-75 to Waikato in the 

final. Connie Poletti and Tessa 

Boagni were both named in the 

tournament team. 

Western AFC on verge 

of promotion to MPL 

Western AFC have all but 

secured promotion to the 

Mainland Premier League next 

year after defeating Halswell 

United 5-1. Western are now 

three points clear of Halswell 

going into the final round of 

the season this weekend. They 

play bottom-placed Burwood 

AFC. They are set to replace 

Universities AFC who have been 

relegated from the MPL. 

English Cup football 

finalists locked in 

Cashmere Technical and Coastal 

Spirit will meet in the English 

Cup final on Tuesday, August 28. 

The final match in Canterbury’s 

premier football knockout cup 

will be played at English Park. 

Waihora win second 

rugby title of season 

Waihora have claimed their 

first Combined Country and 

Coleman Shield double in the 

club’s history. They beat Darfield 

20-10 in the Ellesmere division 

one rugby final on Saturday. 

Waihora produced two second 

half tries in Darfield to seal the 

win after they battled into a 

strong wind in the first half and 

trailed 3-0 at half-time. 

Bulldogs, Panthers face 

off in elimination final 


THE HORNBY Panthers and 

Northern Bulldogs head into 

their do-or-die rugby league 

semi-final on Saturday at 

opposite ends of the momentum 

spectrum. 

The Panthers finished third 

on the competition ladder and 

won their sudden-death semifinal 

50-6 against the Halswell 

Hornets. 

The second-placed 

Bulldogs lost their chance to 

automatically qualify for the 

final when they were beaten 

48-10 by minor premiers the 

Linwood Keas. 

The Panthers and Bulldogs 

were only separated by points 

differential on the table, and 

each have a win against the 

other this season. 

The Bulldogs outlasted the 

Panthers 24-20 in their round 

10 encounter on June 23, while 

the Panthers triumphed 20-16 in 

round three on April 21. 

Bulldogs player/coach Chris 

Bamford said his team had 

to forget about the 

heavy defeat to 

Linwood and 

look to make 

the most 

of their 

second 

life at 

home 

at 

Murphy Park. 

“That’s not the way we want 

to end things with the Keas this 

year, but we have to put in a 

better performance this week to 

try to redeem ourselves in the 

grand-final,” Bamford said. 

The veteran forward says his 

team have a superior forward 

pack and that will play a big part 

in earning the win. 

“This match is a contrast of 

style,” he said. “I believe we 

have the better forward pack, 

and if we can win the battle up 

the middle of the park, then we 

should be all good,” he said. 

“A lot of that comes down to 

me. I’ve come back to play with 

my brother 

and help 

lead the 

team 

and 

that starts with my play.” 

“They (Panthers) are a team 

that likes to throw the ball 

around, so we will have to 

improve our defence after last 

week.” 

The Panthers certainly 

showed how good they can be 

on attack, running in nine tries 

against Halswell. 

Panthers coach Jed Lawrie 

said this was their second 

consecutive week with a full 

strength team and it showed on 

the scoreboard. 

“I feel we took 90 per cent of 

our scoring chances. We do like 

to throw the ball around and 

Halswell 

struggled to contain us.” 

Lawrie acknowledged the 

Bulldogs’ powerful forwards 

but said with veterans like 

Canterbury Bulls captain James 

Baxendale, former Bulls captain 

Jonny Limmer and experienced 

prop Rulon Nutira, he believed 

his team could match them. 

Riccarton Knights kept 

their hopes alive of replicating 

Halswell’s feat last year of 

winning the Gore Cup from 

last place. They dispatched 

the Papanui Tigers 36-16, and 

will now play Celebration on 

Saturday for a spot in the Gore 

Cup final. 

Aranui Eagles moved into the 

final with a resounding 42-22 

win over Celebration Lions after 

leading 22-10 at half-time. 

BROTHERS: Northern 

Bulldogs Chris and Jason 

Bamford will create double 

trouble for the Hornby 

Panthers in a must-win 

semi-final on Saturday.

Hung selected for 

Youth Olympics 

RUSSLEY golfer Juliana 

Hung has been selected 

to represent New Zealand 

at the Youth Olympic 

Games in Buenos Aires, 

Argentina. 

Hung, 16, was selected 

coming off the back of 

strong international form. 

She will be joined by 

Auckland’s Jimmy Zheng. 

THe pair will come up 

against some of the world’s 

best young golfers at the 

games which consist of a 

boy’s and girl’s individual 

championships held 

from October 9 to 11. 

Follow by a mixed team 

event from October 13 to 

15 . 

Hung continues to grow 

after becoming the New 

Zealand Stroke Play champion 

late last year and is 

gaining vital international 

experience in big events. 

This year alone the 

Burnside High School 

student has competed in 

the Women’s Amateur 

Asia-Pacific in Singapore, 

Queen Sirikit Cup in 

Thailand, Toyota Junior 

Worlds in Japan, and most 

recently the Junior Open 

in Scotland at the home of 

golf, St Andrews. 

“The travel is one of the 

best perks of golf but I 

also love all the different 

aspects of the game which 

make it really challenging 

but fun at the same time,” 

said Hung. 

“I’m really looking forward 

to the opportunity to 

play at the Youth Olympic 

Games and, meanwhile, I’ll

can secure the Southern 

Football League title this 

weekend, but eyes are 

already being cast forward 

to potentially extend the 

new competition to two 

rounds for 2019. 

Tech host Coastal 

Spirit at Garrick Park on 

Saturday where a win will 

see them win the newlyreformed 

competition 

after 20 years on the backburner. 

However, while their 

immediate thoughts are

Hutchinson and Coastal 

coach Ekow Quainoo are

be watching the best players 

play on tour because I 

want to be like them.” 

Rio 2016 silver medallist 

Lydia Ko has sent through 

a video message wishing 

Hung and Zheng luck as 

they attempt to replicate 

her Olympic success. 

The games are a preelite 

development opportunity 

for the world’s 

most promising young 

athletes, allowing them to 

experience a multi-sport 

games environment while 

exposing them to learning 

and cultural opportunities 

and helping them on the 

performance pathway. 

Bid to extend football 

league for 2019 

hopeful a way can be found 

to extend the competition 

from 2019. 

“I understand there are 

costs involved but I’d love 

to see it happen, I think 

it can only be good for 

South Island football,” said 

Hutchinson. 

“I think the whole reason 

of the league was to narrow 

the gap between the local 

leagues and the national 

league, and I think it’s doing 

that.” 

“It would be good to see 

but the difficulties will be 

funding,” said Quainoo. 

Both coaches agree having 

the top three teams 

from Football South with 

the top five Mainland Premier 

League teams have increased 

the standard of play 

and it appears at least one 

club from Otago are also 

keen to see an extended 

season going forward. 

The Otago Daily Times 

has reported that Dunedin 

Technical coach Tony 

Martin is urging the new 

league to extend to a second 

round next season. 

Mainland Football chief 

executive Julian Bowden 

says discussions will happen 

in the coming weeks as 

the current structure of the 

league is reviewed. 

“I’d be disappointed if it 

wasn’t on the calendar next 

year. Whether that’s in a 

one or two-round format 

will be something to discuss,” 

said Bowden.

Sport 

Warriors pushing for three wins in a row 

THE WARRIORS are building 

nicely ahead of the Telstra 

Premiership finals, and will 

be pushing for three wins on 

the trot when they take on the 

Bulldogs. 

Usually struggling for form 

at this time of the year, Stephen 

Kearney’s men are finally playing 

consistent footy, much to the 

relief of their long-suffering 

fans. 

Canterbury are already preparing 

for next season, but need to 

produce an 80min performance 

as the race for the dreaded 

wooden spoon heats up. 

Key match up – Blake Green v 

Lachlan Lewis. Everywhere classy 

five-eighths Green goes, success 

follows. His game management 

and poise is outstanding, and this 

week the Warriors No 6 will look 

to outpoint Canterbury’s young 

gun in the halves. Lewis missed 

last weekend’s defeat against 

Manly due to personal reasons, 

and his radar-like kicking game 

will be crucial if his team are to 

stage an upset. 

For the Bulldogs to win – Feed 

Reimis Smith. In what has been a 

forgettable campaign for the boys 

from Belmore, the youngster on 

the wing has impressed at every 

opportunity. He showed brute 

strength to score a try against 

Manly and is a rising star. 

For the Warriors to win 

– Solomone Kata has been a 

standout in the centres this year. 

The Tongan international has 

taken his game to another level 

after the 2017 World Cup, scoring 

10 tries in 19 appearances. 

Bulldogs stat attack – In spite 

of sitting in 14th spot, Dean Pay’s 

men comfortably have the most 

post contact metres (11,099) in 

the competition. They are also 

the yardstick when it comes to 

total runs (3697). Fullback Will 

Hopoate has had a great year, 

chalking up 364 runs. 

Warriors stat attack – With 

a competition-leading 267 

off-loads, Stephen Kearney’s 

team have been their usual entertaining 

selves after 22 rounds. 

Fullback Roger Tuivasa-Sheck 

has amassed 1091 kick return 

metres on top of his 100 tackle 

breaks, while Shaun Johnson has 

kicked the most field goals in the 

competition (4). 

And another thing – The 

equation for the Warriors is 

simple – keep winning and a 

potential spot in the top four 

awaits.
