Corruption sting widens 

MORE ARRESTS have been 

made in the major police 

operation focused on the harness 

racing industry. 

A 30-year-old trainer/driver 

was among three people arrested 

yesterday. He faces charges 

of offering to supply ecstasy to 

several people including high 

profile people in the industry. 

He was also charged with 

unlawful possession of a stun 

gun. 

A 26-year-old male who 

appeared in the district court 

yesterday was granted name 

suppression. He has been 

charged with both race-fixing 

and drug supply offences. 

The 17-month police inquiry 

centred in Canterbury has seen 

many raids on properties this 

week. 

Ten people have now been 

charged during Operation Inca, 

which is investigating race 

fixing and drug use within the 

industry. 

There were six search warrants 

carried out in Christchurch 

yesterday morning, taking the 

total number of search warrants 

to 17. 

Stuff has reported those 

under investigation to date are 

champion driver Blair Orange, 

John Dunn, Nigel McGrath, 

Natalie Rasmussen, Andrew 

Stuart, another unnamed man, 

and Manawatū thoroughbred 

racing administrator Brent Wall. 

Police have also raided leading 

driver Dexter Dunn’s property. 

Brother of John Dunn, he is 

currently driving in the United 

States. 

The Star understands he will 

be interviewed when he returns 

to Christchurch. 

Yesterday morning, police 

went to Cran Dalgety’s Racing 

Stables in West Melton, where 

Dexter Dunn, 28, was based.

Cr East said yesterday he has

WEDDING RINGS and boxing 

gloves go hand-in-hand for a 

husband and wife team who will 

compete at the New Zealand 

amateur championships next 

month. 

Sam and Tegan Clark have 

been named as part of the 

Canterbury team which will be 

eyeing up national titles on home 

soil for the first time since 2010 

at the Hornby Workingmen’s 

Club. 

Sam said while they met 

outside boxing eight years ago, 

he was aware Tegan was a handy 

boxer. 

“I remember I hadn’t paid 

much attention that she was a 

boxer but I remember watching 

her in the gym one night and 

thinking she was better than 

most of the boys,” he said. 

“We had a round of training 

together (on Monday night) but 

it’s not something we do often 

because it’s a weird match-up.” 

The couple got married earlier 

this year and have two children 

together, Alexia, 4 and Andre, 3. 

“The kids come with us to our 

trainings on a weekly basis and 

have their own pair of gloves,” 

Tegan said. 

Tegan, 25, returned to the ring 

12 months ago after having six 

years away to start their family. 

She won five national titles at the 

junior level and was eager to add 

an elite title to it next month. 

Tegan will compete weekend 

in an attempt to qualify for the 

world championships in India 

in November. Her ultimate goal 

is to make the Olympic squad at 

Tokyo 2020. 

“It was tough watching Sam 

on the sidelines and watching 

the other girls fight and know I 

could do a better job,” she said. 

She said having Sam there is a 

great motivator. “We don’t spar 

together but we keep each other 

on the straight and narrow in 

terms of diet. 

Tegan starting boxing at 

10-years-old when her dad, Lee 

Madden was the coach at the 

Woolston Boxing Club. 

“I was always getting in to the 

ring and jumping on things and 

shadow boxing,” she said. 

“I always promised dad I 

would get back into it after 

having the kids.” 

The couple now box for the 

Smiling Tigers Gym. 

Sam, 30, has represented 

New Zealand twice in the past 

year and is looking for his first 

national title in four attempts.

East may run 

for mayor 

•From page 1 

“I couldn’t say yes or no, I would 

have said definitely no but, I will 

think about it.” 

Mayor Lianne Dalziel confirmed Cr 

East has been stood down from his 

position as chairman of the regulatory 

performance committee. 

He will also face a disciplinary 

hearing for his claims on Monday that 

city council staff allegedly omitted a 

policy in the district plan. 

The policy enabled people to build, 

renovate or extend their homes in the 

coastal suburbs of South Brighton, 

Southshore and Redcliffs. 

Ms Dalziel is yet to confirm whether 

she will stand for a third term at the 

local body elections next October. 

If she doesn’t, the mayoral race is 

likely to be wide open. 

“I would dearly love to see a council 

that is more reflective of the needs of the 

city . . . I believe sometimes our approach 

to planning at times has not taken the 

people with it. I don’t believe we have 

ever taken the people of Southshore and 

South Brighton with us,” he said. 

Yesterday, chief executive Karleen 

Edwards laid a formal complaint to 

Ms Dalziel on behalf of the city council 

in relation to Cr East for breaching 

the council’s code of conduct. 

Dr Edwards and Ms Dalziel will 

discuss it today. 

Councillors close ranks 

• By Sophie Cornish and 

Matt Salmons 

CITY COUNCILLORS have 

closed ranks when asked 

whether they support their 

fellow councillor, David East. 

When approached by The 

Star yesterday, city councillors, 

Jamie Gough, Tim Scandrett, 

Vicki Buck, Phil Clearwater, 

Pauline Cotter and Raf Manji 

declined to 

comment. 

Papanui 

Ward councillor 

Mike 

Davidson (left) 

said Cr East’s 

approach is not 

the approach 

he would have taken. 

“I support what the mayor has 

done,” he said. 

Heathcote Ward councillor 

Sara Templeton agreed that a 

process needed to occur to look 

into the policy, but did not agree 

that going public in the manner 

was “the most useful way” to 

resolve the issue. 

“It’s clear that that was not the 

intent of the independent hearings 

panel and there needs to be 

a process to ensure that intent is 

being met.” 

SUPPORT: Coastal-Burwood Community Board 

chairwoman Kim Money, Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board member Darrell Latham and 

members of coastal communities are backing David 

East, two signs have been put up in Southshore. 

Cr Templeton said there was a 

“lack of clarity” around the policy 

which needed to be made clear. 

Linwood Ward councillor 

Yani Johanson said he could not 

comment on Cr East’s conduct, 

but said he agreed there were 

issues with the policy. 

“I want to acknowledge that 

this is an issue causing massive 

concern in the community.” 

Central Ward councillor 

Deon Swiggs, speaking from 

Perth, said he was aware of the 

issue around the policy and said 

it needed “addressing ASAP.” 

Burwood Ward city councillor 

Glenn Livingstone said 

he was aware of the issue, but 

wouldn’t comment further. 

“Personally myself I wouldn’t 

be making allegations like this.” 

He said the facts need to be 

established first. 

Some community board 

members have spoken out in 

support of Cr East. 

Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board member 

Darrell Latham said he supported 

Cr East, “with respect to 

the letter he has received from 

Sir John Hansen.” 

“They are serious matters of 

concern, in my opinion, and 

these are the matters council 

need to focus on and deal with.” 

Coastal-Burwood Community 

Board chairwoman Kim 

Money said she “100 per cent” 

backs Cr East. 

“Tim Sintes and myself are totally 

backing David and support 

David in every aspect.” 

Ms Money and her deputy 

chairman Tim Sintes are also 

facing disciplinary action for their 

outspoken views on the matter. 

“This is exactly what we are 

elected to do. We are elected to 

represent our people . . . when 

we discover or hear the things 

that we have heard, we cannot 

be quiet, we have to be able to 

say something.”

Warwick Schaefer said the 

group was “absolutely backing 

David.”

Second Anglican vicar stands down 

• By Ashleigh Monk 

A SECOND Christchurch 

vicar has resigned following the 

Anglican synod’s decision to 

allow same sex marriages to be 

blessed in their churches. 

St Paul’s 

Anglican Church 

vicar Andy Carley 

told parishioners 

at a service last 

week he would 

step down 

John 

Stringer 

Peter 

Carrell 

from his role in 

November. 

It comes 

after vicar Jay 

Behan of St 

Stephen’s Shirley 

announced his 

resignation in 

May. 

The Anglican 

synod voted in 

May on Motion 

29 to allow the 

blessing of same sex unions in 

churches across the country. 

Four Christchurch congregations 

have so far disaffiliated 

from the synod in response to the 

decision. 

St Paul’s parishioner and 

Papanui-Innes Community 

Board member John Stringer told 

The Star Rev Carley announced 

last week that he would leave 

the church and set up his own 

congregation. 

“Like-minded” parishioners 

members were free to follow 

him or stay at St Paul’s and allow 

same sex marriage blessings,’’ 

said Mr Stringer. 

Rev Carley declined to 

comment when approached by 

The Star. 

Mr Stringer said the majority 

of parishioners were conservative. 

But there would likely be a 

number who stayed at St Paul’s. 

“For most of us, it’s actually 

about the authority of biblical 

scripture and whether it is a 

faithful communiqué on the will 

of God,” he said. 

“Many feel the Anglican 

Church is now openly supporting 

something they believe is wrong, 

and telling everyone it is okay 

and that God ‘blesses’ it. They 

feel betrayed and let down.” 

The congregation would decide 

on Sunday whether to follow Rev 

Carley in leaving. 

STEPPING 

DOWN: 

Andy Carley, 

vicar of St Paul’s 

Anglican Church 

in Papanui, 

resigned from 

his role following 

the Anglican 

synod’s vote 

to allow same 

sex marriages 

to be blessed 

in Anglican 

churches. 

Bishop-elect of Christchurch 

Peter Carrell has been visiting 

churches across the city to discuss 

the issue. 

Personally, he would not bless 

same sex marriages, but he believed 

each church had the right 

to decide if they wanted to do so. 

“I’m quite happy as Bishopelect 

to authorise priests to 

perform those blessings, provided 

that the parishes are united 

behind that,” he told The Star. 

Four out of the 60 ministry 

units had so far voted to disaffiliate 

from the diocese. He was 

unsure how many more would 

follow. 

“It’s difficult to measure . . . it’s 

certainly causing people to make 

the decision to disaffiliate,” he said. 

“Most of our parishes are comfortable 

with the decision 

. . . we are really sad that some 

parishes are going, and we wish 

they weren’t going, but they do 

have the right to disagree with 

the position of the General 

Synod. But we do want to be 

careful and considerate about 

our continuing relationship with 

those who are part of our church 

family.” 

He said he did not believe there 

would be an impact on funding 

for the rebuild of the Christ 

Church Cathedral at this stage. 

Rev Behan said yesterday his 

congregation had disaffiliated 

with the synod “with great sadness.” 

“There is a lot of sadness from 

both sides that we haven’t been 

able to come to an arrangement 

where, in good conscience, we can 

move forward together,” he said. 

“We’re determined to try and 

keep good relationships, we’re 

not wanting things to get worse 

or to become more difficult 

relationally.”

Sooty sells up after 26 years of 

Well-known publican 

Stephen “Sooty” 

Moffett is moving on 

from the Islington 

Tavern after 26 years. 

He sat down with 

reporter Anan Zaki to 

discuss the highs and 

lows 

IT WAS the night of September 

4, 2010, the city was still in 

shock from the magnitude 7.1 

earthquake which struck that 

morning. 

Businesses all over the city 

were closed, but on Main South 

Rd, the queues for the Islington 

Tavern, also known as The 

Swamp, spilled onto the footpath. 

“We never missed a day. There 

was just nowhere else [for people] 

to go. One in the morning and 

we had 100 people outside and 

100 people inside and we’re only 

allowed 144 people,” recalls Mr 

Moffett. 

“At one stage we had 11 doormen, 

so it takes everything 

you make away. We had people 

dragging each other through 

windows, it was crazy.” 

The 54-year-old took over The 

Swamp in August 1992, and 

moved in above the pub. To this 

END OF AN ERA: Stephen “Sooty” Moffett is selling the Islington Tavern, known as The 

Swamp after 26 years of ownership. 

day he does not know how it 

became known as The Swamp. 

“No idea and no one has ever 

told me. It was always here. 

Whether it had something to do 

with the freezing works around 

here, I don’t know,” Mr Moffett 

said. 

The pub has remained a popular 

watering hole for freezing 

workers and rugby league players. 

When Mr Moffett took over, it 

was his first foray into hospitality. 

“My former in-laws were in 

the [hospitality] game, and at the 

time we thought it was a great 

idea.” 

Initially it was hard, working 

long hours to keep the business 

running, but that was just part of 

the “tough” industry. 

“I really slogged it out back 

then,” he said. 

One memorable moment that 

he will never forget in his 26 

years at The Swamp was a breakin 

in the late 1990s. 

“The most bizarre thing that’s 

ever happened is I got robbed by 

two people in wetsuits and [they] 

emptied our gaming machines. 

“The alarms didn’t go off, the 

window was taken out and they 

came through,” Mr Moffett said. 

The break-in was caught on a 

CCTV camera, but police were 

never able to catch the thieves, 

he said. 

Mr Moffett started $5 roasts 

which packed in customers. 

“Twenty-six years ago, there 

was just less choice. Hospitality is 

really tough on the food game at 

the moment. 

“To sell a roast to a young 

person now would be pretty hard, 

whereas back then they would 

come looking for it,” Mr Moffett 

said. 

Behaviour at pubs have also 

changed for the better in recent 

years, he said.

“Twenty-six years ago you’d 

be waiting at the back door for 

something to happen. It was the 

wild west. 

“Whereas now, if something 

happened it would make the 

newspaper,” Mr Moffett said. 

When fights broke out, he 

had no time for it and trespass 

notices were handed out almost 

immediately. 

Mr Moffett said he is selling the 

business to a “North Island-based 

development company.” 

He said the owners did not 

want to be named. 

However, Mr Moffett will still 

be at The Swamp until the new 

owners fully take over in late 

February. 

He decided to sell the business 

after struggling through a year 

of roadworks at Pound Rd from 

2016 to 2017. 

“It was never really for sale, 

they [the new owners] came 

trying to buy it and I guess once 

you see roadworks around here, 

you realise how vulnerable you 

are to it affecting your business. 

“We had a drastic change in 

turnover, revenue fell about 20 

per cent. But I’m not going to 

say how much we turn over,” Mr 

Moffett said. 

He does not know what the new 

owners plans are for the property, 

but he believes the name The 

Swamp will be kept. 

And what will he miss the most 

when he leaves The Swamp? 

“The people. The characters 

that come here, you get to know 

them all over the years,” Mr 

Moffett said. 

As for his own nickname, 

“Sooty”, it originated from The 

Sooty (TV) Show which ran from 

1955 to 1992. 

“When I worked at a 

supermarket as a schoolboy 

[in the 1970s], I used to pack 

sausages, and the boss of the 

butchery gave [the name]. 

“There was two of us [working 

under the boss], I was called 

Sooty and the other one was 

called Sweep,” Mr Moffett said. 

And he doesn’t plan to leave the 

industry just yet. 

“I’ve got another bar, 

Schroeder’s in St Albans. At this 

stage it’ll be the only one,” he 

said. 

However, Mr Moffett did not 

rule out buying a new bar. 

He has some advice for anyone 

looking into getting into the 

hospitality industry. 

“It’s [about] the customer, the 

customer, the customer,” Mr 

Moffett said. 

“No matter what you think, it’s 

about the customer.”

No funerals at Fendalton property 

A FUNERAL home owner has 

backed down over plans to hold 

small-scale funerals out of his 

Fendalton home. 

Andrew Bell has instead applied 

for a resource consent to 

operate a home office from his 

property on Rochdale St, Stuff 

reported yesterday. 

The Bell, Lamb and Trotter 

managing director intends to 

carry out administrative activities 

including invoicing, payments, 

web design and service sheet 

design from the house, a resource 

consent application shows. 

Mr Bell had originally planned 

to operate a small-scale funeral 

home from the property, but 

a resource consent allowing 

the move, which was issued by 

commissioner Philip Milne, was 

quashed by the High Court in 

March after the Rochdale Precinct 

Society pursued a judicial 

review of the decision. 

In her ruling, Justice Susan 

Thomas said while she agreed 

the original application met the 

“home occupation” rules, the 

commissioner had erred in his 

consideration of traffic issues. 

Mr Bell had planned to hold 

up to 26 services a year in the 

house limited to 10 people, 

including staff. Nearby residents 

were incensed at the decision 

allowing the company to hold 

funerals at the home and formed 

the society to seek the review.

Boxing Day survivor remembers 

Alex Brown was 14 

when he survived a 

horrific crash on Boxing 

Day 2016. Three other 

teenagers in the car 

died. Now aged 16 Alex 

talks for the first time to 

reporter Emily O’Connell 

about the ordeal and 

why he survived 

IT WAS after midnight on 

Boxing Day and 14-year-old 

Alex Brown’s world was literally 

upside down. 

He had been knocked out 

when the car he was in smashed 

into trees at 111km/h. 

Now conscious, and 20min 

after the 1.30am crash, he was in 

the middle of a nightmare. It was 

dark but he could still make out 

some of carnage in the upturned 

Nissan Tida. 

He put two fingers on his best 

mate Cole Christensen-Hull’s 

neck. There was no pulse. 

“I shut his eyes and gave him 

one last hug before I got out of 

the car and that was the last 

memory I have of him,” Alex, 

now 16, he recalled last week. 

Also in the car were three other 

teenagers, Sam Drost and Lily 

Moore, both 15, who would lose 

their lives on that terrible night, 

and the unlicensed 14-year-old 

driver, who had survived. 

Alex had only met Sam and Lily 

that night. 

Alex tried to get Lily out of the 

car, but was unsuccessful. Alex 

had suffered two broken hands 

and a fractured wrist. 

He couldn’t see Sam. 

He kicked part of the windscreen 

out, and got the seriously 

injured driver (who has not been 

named publicly because of his 

age) halfway out of the car before 

trying to find help. 

After walking for about a minute, 

he spotted a vehicle driving 

past and waved it down. 

“To be honest, I didn’t know 

what was going on really. All the 

adrenaline and everything all 

just happened really fast and I 

just told the lady [who he waved 

down], ‘we’ve crashed, they’re 

not breathing, please get help’,’’ 

Alex said. 

The teenagers had been out 

cruising and had ran into trouble 

at a camping ground at Lake

Ellesmere. 

Alex and Cole had spent some 

of Christmas Day together, 

hanging around, playing basketball 

and riding bikes. They were 

picked up at Southbridge School 

at about 12.30am and headed out 

to the lake.



horror car crash ordeal 

Two “older men” camping at 

the site had confronted them 

because of their driving behaviour. 

Alex said Sam was punched 

and pushed into the lake. He 

and Cole had run away when the 

altercation happened and were 

picked up later by the other three. 

A gut feeling told Alex to put 

his safety belt on. He was in 

the back seat. He normally did 

buckle up but on the way out to 

the lake he hadn’t worn it. No 

one else in the 

car was wearing 

seat belts.

As they 

drove at speed 

south along 

Harts Rd, 

they discussed 

the mark on 

Sam’s head, 

caused Alex 

said, by being 

hit by one of 

the two men at the lake, and his 

wet clothes. 

Cole then told the others in 

the car they were being chased. 

There were headlights behind 

them. They feared it was because 

of the altercation at the camping 

ground. The driver sped up. 

Police would later say there 

was no evidence to support the 

theory they were being chased. 

“They’re chasing us, they’re 

chasing us,” Alex recalls Cole 

saying. 

Then disaster. The car failed 

to take a corner just before the 

junction with Southbridge- 

Sedgemere Rd, it hit a grass 

mound and became airborne for 

about 14m before hitting a row 

of trees. 

Alex, knocked out, doesn’t 

recall the impact. 

When he came to, his world 

had changed. 

The families of the teenagers 

were also about to get the worst 

possible news. 

The police knocked on the 

door of Alex’s home at 4.30am. 

Recalls his mother Theresa 

Brown: “Your world comes 

crashing down . . . your heart just 

goes into your boots,” she said. 

DEVASTATING: From left – Sam Drost, Cole Christensen-Hull and Lily Moore, all 15, died in 

the Boxing Day 2016 crash near Leeston. 

RESPECT: Friends of the victims mourn at the crash site. 

She was hoping police had got 

it wrong. Alex was supposed to 

have been staying at Cole’s house 

for the night. 

“We drove to the hospital and 

it wasn’t wrong. It was right,” she 

said. 

The months following the 

crash were terrible, said Alex. 

Attending his best friend Cole’s 

funeral was hardest. 

“It was pretty tough when they 

were showing the photos, they 

showed a photo that I took of 

him on Christmas, so the last 

photo that was taken of him, 

yeah it was pretty tough,” he said. 

The three service sheets from 

the funerals sit on a shelf in 

Alex’s room. He looks at them 

each day as he wakes up and 

before he goes to sleep. 

“They’re always there with me, 

even though I didn’t know Sam 

and Lily they’re part of my life now, 

I feel like I know them,” he said. 

Alex, who has been diagnosed 

with post traumatic stress disorder, 

says after the crash he stayed 

at home a lot with close family 

and friends. 

To help process what he had 

experienced, Alex tried counselling. 

“I wasn’t the biggest fan of that 

so I stopped but the majority of it 

is mum really, kept to myself and 

talked to mum,” he said. 

Going to the gym also helped. 

“I’ve always been like a sporty 

kid but I started the gym mainly 

to keep in better shape and keep 

myself doing something, keep 

myself occupied,” he said. 

He says Christmas is a difficult 

time. 

“It’s supposed to be a happy 

time, but it’s not, it’s still happy 

but it’s not the best feeling anymore,” 

Alex said. 

Now he’s 16, Alex has got his 

learner licence. 

Learning to drive has been a 

“nerve-wracking” process for 

him and something he’s taking 

his time doing. 

Looking back, Alex says he realises 

what a mistake they made 

by driving that night. 

“I realise I made the right 

choice [wearing a seat belt] but 

sometimes you feel a little bit 

guilty that I was one of the two 

out of the five who survived but 

then just grateful to be honest,” 

he said. 

Looking forward to the future, 

Alex is wanting to finish high 

school, get a job and maybe study 

at university. 

For now though, Alex is advising 

other teenagers to be careful 

when it comes to driving. 

“Be safe, always make sure the 

person driving has their full licence 

or if they’re on their learners, 

there’s someone with their 

full licence in the car,” he said. 

Quarry 

petition 

will be 

submitted 

next week 

• By Anan Zaki 

TEMPLETON residents will 

next week submit a petition 

demanding a proposed Fulton 

Hogan quarry be stopped. 

The petition has 4050 signatures 

and was launched online 

by the Templeton Residents’ 

Association six months ago. 

The proposed quarry is at a 

170ha site on Curraghs, Dawsons, 

Jones and Maddisons Rds. 

Chairman Garry Kilday said 

the petition will be presented 

to Environment Canterbury, 

Ministry for the Environment 

and Selwyn District Council. 

He could not confirm what 

day next week the petition will 

be presented. 

Mr Kilday said the support 

from the community has been 

“massive.” 

“It’s been good for public 

unity because people have stood 

up in a solid form.” 

The petition had signatures 

from Australia and the United 

States. 

“It’s amazing actually, the 

amount of people who have 

signed this petition, quite 

incredible when you read it,” Mr 

Kilday said. 

Meanwhile, the campaign has 

secured $25,000 in donations to 

help fund an anticipated legal 

fight. 

Mr Kilday said he is grateful 

for the donations, but believed 

the residents will never have 

enough money to match Fulton 

Hogan’s “deep pockets.” 

He believed the residents will 

need at least $500,000 should 

they have to go to the Environment 

Court. 

“Like everything else in the 

country, it’s all about [who has 

the most] money, not the fairness,” 

Mr Kilday said.

Former soldier’s huge poster 

• By Matt Salmons 

FILM BUFF and former soldier 

Wil Wright is turning his 

Sumner home into a gallery of 

his more than 12,000 original 

film posters. 

As far as the avid collector 

knew, it would be the first of its 

kind in New Zealand. 

“There’s a few private 

collectors around, but they 

don’t really have them out on 

display.” 

The gallery would open this 

summer in the home he and 

his wife had moved into over 

Christmas. 

Viewing would be free, by 

appointment and in every room 

except the “bedrooms and bathrooms.” 

“It’s hard to get it all out on 

display, we’ve got about 12,000 

plus pieces in the collection,” Mr 

Wright said. 

The former British Army gunsmith 

said he started his collection 

more than 20 years ago with 

a poster from classic John Wayne 

World War 2 film The Longest 

Day. 

“I was raised on the old black 

and white movies by my father, 

and that always stuck with me. 

The old posters had some fantastic 

artwork, painted by artists, 

it’s all cast montages these 

days.” 

Mr Wright spent 14 years in 

the British Army including service 

with the 1st Battalion Parachute 

Regiment in Sierra Leone 

and five months of 2003 during 

the opening stages of the second 

Gulf War in Iraq with the 1st 

Battalion Royal Irish Regiment. 

After returning from Iraq the

TRACKSIDE 

MOTORCYCLE RIDERS 

EVENT 2018 

NOSTALGIA: Wil Wright said many of his posters, 

such as Dirty Harry, To Kill a Mockingbird, Rocky 

and Blow Up were the films he grew up watching. 

Three years later, he 

was accepted for the New 

Zealand Defence Force and 

moved to Burnham, along 

with his collection. 

After leaving military 

life behind in 2011, Mr 

Wright spent three years 

as a project manager at the 

Art Centre before leaving 

in 2014 to make a career 

out of his collection and 

gallery. 

Collecting original film 

posters is not common in 

New Zealand Mr Wright 

said, and he hoped opening 

the gallery would encourage 

appreciation for the 

original material. “You can 

buy a print of anything, but 

that’s just a print. It has no 

age to it, no story.” 

One of his favourite 

pieces is from pre-World 

War 1 medieval drama 

Ivanhoe. 

“It’s from 1913 and quite 

rare, I think there’s only 

three of them left . . . it’s 

105 years old and it looks 

like a work of art.” 

He also has a poster from 

1937 adventure film The 

Mysterious Pilot, about the 

real exploits of famed aviator 

Frank Hawks. 

As it is possibly the last 

example of the poster, it 

had needed extensive restoration. 

“Our main focus is to 

save these things which 

weren’t meant to survive,” 

Mr Wright said. 

None of the prints on 

FREE ENTRY 

display were for sale, Mr 

Wright said 

Funding would come 

from selling duplicates on 

his website. 

“But, if anyone has anything 

hidden away, please 

let us know. We’ll buy it off 

them to restore and display 

it.”

Red zone 

barriers 

extended 

EXTENDED ROAD barriers 

are being installed in some parts 

of the red zone to stop illegal 

rubbish dumping and boy racers 

from destroying the vegetation. 

They will also create tighter 

security in the area. In early 2016, 

barriers were placed across roads 

in the red zone to deter anti-social 

behaviour and illegal rubbish 

dumping. 

“The barriers were designed 

to allow pedestrians and cyclists 

access to the area but to keep 

vehicles out. Unfortunately, some 

drivers continued to bypass the 

barriers by mounting the footpath 

and driving around them,’’ said 

city council transport operations 

manager Steffan Thomas. “Once 

past the barriers, they’re using 

the area as a dumping ground 

for their rubbish, which is 

unacceptable.” 

“We want to prevent that 

from happening and have been 

working on the issue with Land 

Information New Zealand. LINZ 

manages red-zoned land for the 

Crown but the city council owns 

the roads and footpaths. 

The new face of Ice Cream Charlie 


KATEY LANE has been a lover 

of Ice Cream Charlie since she 

was a child. 

Now, she has brought the business, 

known as Vanilla Ices. 

Ms Lane took over ownership 

at the weekend, after she 

expressed her interest to former 

owners Raewyn and George Taylor, 

who sold the business after 

20 years, to retire. 

Three months ago, Ms Lane 

approached Mr and Mrs Taylor 

to buy an ice cream and said, 

“this is my favourite and I want 

to own it some day.” 

“It happened to work with 

when they were planning on 

retiring and it just came together 

from that . . . in reality I was 

thinking two or three years 

down the line, not three months, 

but that’s alright.” 

Ms Lane enjoys ice cream and 

says anywhere she is, she will eat 

it. 

“I have travelled extensively 

and yes, I have eaten a lot of ice 

cream.” 

“It’s so different from other ice 

cream flavours that I’ve tasted 

that I have never found replicated 

anywhere else in the world. You 

can have any number of fabulous 

ice cream flavours, but there is 

no ice cream texture and taste 

quite like an Ice Cream Charlie’s 

Vanilla Ice,” she said. 

Ms Lane said she “stepped out” 

of the corporate world about three 

years ago after being a business 

manager in real estate, and a registered 

nurse prior to that. 

She is now an entrepreneur 

and owns another small business 

called, Wool-it, which uses natural 

wool for blister prevention. 

Ms Lane believes her biggest 

challenge will be living up to the 

expectations of the local business, 

which was first started in 

1903 by Sali Mohomet, who set 

up a cart in Cathedral Square. 

It is unclear why the original 

owner, who made the ice cream 

in a dairy behind his home in St 

Albans, was dubbed ‘Ice Cream 

Charlie, but the business has been 

known by the name ever since. 

She refused to give away the secret 

to the well-loved ice cream. 

“I paid way too much money to 

ever tell anyone what the recipe 

is,” she laughed. 

Ms Lane has hired a friend, 

Ross Sheppard, to help her in the 

truck also.

CHALLENGE: The Palms Shopping Centre manager Emma Smith found how difficult it was 

yesterday to be in a wheelchair while running an entire mall. 

Wheelchair challenge 

for mall manager 

• By Georgia O’Connor- 

Harding 

EVERY WEEK at least three New 

Zealanders are paralysed by a 

spinal cord injury. 

Yesterday, The Palms shopping 

centre manager Emma Smith 

found out how challenging it is to 

be in a wheelchair. 

To raise awareness for spinal 

cord injuries, Mrs Smith spent the 

day in a wheelchair while running 

the shopping centre. 

Getting used to a wheelchair 

was “challenging.” Small things 

like unpacking a bag or a laptop 

or going to the bathroom were a 

struggle, she said. 

“I really appreciated how challenging 

life can be for others and 

I certainly won’t take for granted 

the easy accessibility I have,” she 

said. 

The Palms teamed up with the 

New Zealand Spinal Trust as part 

of a week-long national appeal to 

raise funds and awareness. 

The NZST helps those affected 

by spinal cord injury or impairment 

live independent and confident 

lives. 

Rock-fall risk could stop garden 

• By Matt Salmons 

ROCK-FALL RISK could thwart 

plans for a memorial garden to 

honour two Lyttelton men who 

died in the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake. 

The Norton Close site, former 

home of Owen Wright, was suggested 

for a garden to remember 

him and Ian Foldesi. 

Land Information New Zealand 

group manager land and property 

Jeremy Barr said it was “too early” 

to say if and how the garden to 

Mrs Smith said on average three 

people suffering a spinal cord 

injury was “horrifically sad.” 

“It is just really important we as 

a centre understand the frustrations 

and challenges and we can 

continue to make improvements 

for these families. 

“All shopping centres should be 

accessible, there is no excuse not 

to,” she said. 

The Palms is working on making 

its cafes more accessible by 

ensuring there is enough room for 

people with wheelchairs to access 

the area with ease. 

At the shopping centre yesterday 

was NZST marketing manager 

Mike Brown. 

Six years ago his life changed 

forever when he was struck by 

a car while working in Tannum 

Sands, Queensland. 

He was skateboarding to a park 

to meet his son and wife when a car 

crossed the centre line, crashing 

into him and breaking his back. 

The accident left Mr Brown 

with a spinal cord injury and he 

requires a wheelchair for mobility. 

Last year, Mr Brown began 

working for NZST following the

Mr Wright was struck and 

killed by a boulder on the Major 

Hornbrook track during an 

aftershock while he was walking 

home from ferrying people over 

the Bridle Path. Father-of-three 

Mr 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. Mr Barr 

said LINZ considered a variety of 

requirements in approving transitional 

land use projects. 

support he and his family received 

after the accident. 

It was a long road to recovery 

for Mr Brown, but he said with the 

right support from organisations 

like the NZST, life is pretty good. 

“There are constant struggles, 

accessibility is only one of those 

struggles but I think as a society 

we are certainly a lot more aware 

and we are making more steps to 

make it more inclusive,” he said. 

On Saturday, the shopping 

centre will host a wheelchair 

obstacle course where the public 

can participate with a gold coin 

donation. 

The nationwide appeal started 

yesterday for World Spinal Cord 

Injury Day and finishes on 

Wednesday.

“Because this particular property 

was red-zoned due to rockfall 

risks, the risk to life on this 

site will be one of the issues that 

has to be worked through in relation 

to health and safety on site.” 

Mr Barr said it wanted to support 

the community through the 

application process. Last Tuesday, 

garden organiser Betty Purdue 

and two LINZ representatives met 

on site to discuss the options for 

the memorial garden. Mr Barr 

said LINZ was continuing its discussions

shapes up 

THE BIGGEST week of 

Christchurch’s spring calendar 

is close. 

Tickets to New Zealand Cup 

and Show Week went on sale this

Farmers told to secure cattle 

• By Emily O’Connell 

FARMERS ARE being reminded 

to check their fences after 

another car v cow incident. 

The latest reported incident 

happened on Hororata 

Dunsandel Rd last week. The 

motorist was not hurt but the 

cow was killed. 

North Canterbury Federated 

Farmers dairy chairman Michael 

Woodward said there are a 

number of reasons why cattle 

were ending up on roads. 

“Potentially it’s basic security 

hasn’t been followed . . . there 

could also be people coming 

onto properties who aren’t 

supposed to be there that then 

leave gates open,” he said. 

The crashes are a “good 

reminder” to farmers to check 

their boundaries. 

“With mycoplasma bovis in 

the district the need to run a 

secondary boundary fence isn’t 

a bad thing, especially if it’s at 

a gateway then that provides 

a double level of security,” Mr 

Woodward said. 

Rolleston woman Carissa 

Maitland who hit a cow last 

month on Lincoln Rolleston 

Rd said she was lucky she was 

driving slowly when the crash 

DANGER: Former Selwyn Mayor Bill Woods hit a cow in 

his Mercedes-Benz, one of several accidents which has 

prompted calls for farmers to check their fences. 

happened. 

The incident was “pretty 

terrifying.” 

She was driving home from 

the Crusaders Super Rugby final 

against the Lions on August 4 

when her she collided with the 

cow about 11pm. 

Mrs Maitland was travelling 

at 30km/h through road works 

on the 100km/h road when the 

cow “came straight out in front” 

of her. 

“I didn’t see it at all and so, I 

didn’t even brake and it basically 

kind of sat on my bonnet and 

rolled back onto my windscreen,” 

Mrs Maitland said. 

The vehicle sustained 

significant damage to the bonnet 

and roof and needed to be 

replaced. Mrs Maitland and the 

cow were uninjured. 

Her collision is just one of 

four accidents involving cattle 

over the past two months in the 

Selwyn District. 

A 27-year-old suffered serious 

injuries when she collided with a 

cow in Burnham on July 19. 

On July 12, former Selwyn 

Mayor Bill Woods and his two 

passengers were lucky to escape 

serious injury after his Mercedes- 

Benz, travelling at about 

100km/h, collided with a cow. 

In July, Senior Sergeant Pete 

Stills said road accidents with 

cows were a “good reason” for 

motorists to keep their speed 

down. 

“Hit a horse or a cow at speed 

and you’re in trouble because 

all you do is take their legs out 

and they come up the bonnet 

through your windscreen often,” 

he said. 

Selwyn District Council senior 

animal control officer Steve 

Clarke is advising people driving 

on rural roads to make sure they 

are aware of potential hazards. 

“If you do see farm animals on 

the road please report it through 

our 24-hour line – 347 2800,” he 

said.

Surgeon’s surprise link to Irish insurrection 


CHRISTCHURCH surgeon 

Professor Frank Frizelle was 

receiving an international award 

in Ireland when he discovered 

family links to the 1916 Easter 

Rising. 

Prof Frizelle travelled to Dublin 

in July to receive one of the highest 

honours, an honorary fellowship 

from the Royal College of 

Surgeons in Ireland. 

Every award recipient received 

a citation written about them, 

from a college council member. 

“You never know what they are 

going to say until they say it,” said 

Prof Frizelle. 

“He (Professor Paul Burke) 

found a lot of stuff out that I 

never knew about; such as my 

great-grandfather had written 

to the Irish Government in his 

role as some sort of administrator, 

suggesting that they let go 

the leaders of the 1916 rebellion, 

however, they ignored him and 

shot them, eventually helping 

turning the tide of the popular 

feeling for independence,” he said. 

Prof Frizelle’s, great grandfather, 

Nicholas Frizelle, was 

county manager at a town named 

Wexford. 

He sent a letter to Michael 

O’Rahilly, also known as The 

O’Rahilly, an Irish republican and 

nationalist who was the founding 

member of the Irish Volunteers 

in 1913. 

In the letter, he informed him 

the Wexford County Council had 

adopted a resolution requesting 

the Lord Lieutenant, who was 

Lord Wimborne, to cancel the 

orders for the imprisonment of 


the Irish Volunteers, who were 

held after the Easter Rising. 

The Easter Rising, was an 

armed insurrection in Ireland 

during Easter Week, April 1916. 

It was launched by Irish 

Republicans to end the British 

rule in Ireland and establish an 

independent Irish Republic, while 

the United Kingdom was heavily 

engaged in World War 1. 

Prof Frizelle was unaware about 

his great grandfather’s letter and 

only knew that his parents have 

Irish heritage. 

The fellowship he received 

recognises his global leadership 

in surgery. 

It comes on the back of groundbreaking 

research from Prof 

Frizelle and his Otago University 

and Canterbury District Health 

Board research teams, who recently 

identified a toxic bug they

It could lead to a life-saving 

vaccine or an early detection test 

for the disease. 

Prof Frizelle said he was 

“delighted and privileged” to be 

recognised with the award which 

came “out of the blue.” 

He is a surgeon at Christchurch

Quake 

exhibit hits 

milestone 

EIGHT YEARS since the first 

earthquake rocked Christchurch, 

a special exhibition has welcomed 

it’s 250,000th visitor. 

Jian Zhu, 22 and Erin Jin, 22 

from Wellington were visitors 

249,999 and 250,000 to Canterbury 

Museum’s special exhibition, 

Quake City. 

Mr Zhu said he and Ms Jin 

wanted to learn more about the 

earthquakes, after they saw the 

empty spaces around the central 

city. The pair had an earthquake 

experience of their own when the 

2016 Kaikōura earthquake was felt 

in Wellington. 

The exhibition aimed to meet 

the demand from businesses 

and community groups, for an 

attraction which told the story of 

the earthquakes and helped bring 

locals and tourists back to the 

central city. It opened in February 

2013 and more than 50,000 people 

visited Quake City in its first year. 

When the Cashel St site closed 

for relocation to Durham St North 

in June 2017, more than 190,000 

visitors had been through. 

The top of the spire of the Christ 

Church Cathedral is part of the 

display. 

Event to focus on healing lakes 

• By David Hill 

WALK FOR the Planet has 

gained some wheels to explore 

two of New Zealand’s most 

polluted lakes. 

It is one year since the release 

of the feature film Seven Rivers 

Walking, based on Walk for 

the Planet – 7 Rivers, 7 Weeks, 

which explored seven iconic 

Canterbury rivers. 

Now concerned Cantabrians 

plan to cycle and reflect on 

Wairewa Lake Forsyth and Te 

Waihora Lake Ellesmere between 

October 5 and 7. 

Walk for the Planet founder 

Mark Gibson said the focus of 

the weekend, known as Two 

Lakes Healing, would be on 

finding solutions, rather than 

laying blame. 

“Two Lakes Healing flows on 

from and keeps alive the tradition 

of 7 rivers, 7 weeks. 

“Our focus is on how to heal 

these lakes and how to create 

momentum for a more hopeful 

future and it’s about intentionally 

moving through the landscape 

softly, hence the cycling. 

“With 7 rivers, 7 weeks it 

required a huge time commitment, 

so it was a bit fragmented, 

so this is about focusing on one 

weekend and the lakes would 

have been too far to walk in one 

JOURNEY: Solutions to heal Lake Ellesmere (top) and Lake 

Forsyth are being sought. 

weekend.” 

Mr Gibson said planning the 

event has brought together a 

range of groups, including the 

Waihora Ellesmere Trust and 

Environment Canterbury, as 

well as environmentalists, farmers, 

scientists, politicians and 

local Maori. 

He said the journey would 

begin on Friday evening at the 

Wairewa Marae at Little River 

and finish on Saturday night at 

the Ngati Moki Marae at Taumutu, 

Lake Ellesmere. 

“The journey begins and ends 

at the two marae and that’s very 

intentional because both of these 

waterways are hugely important 

to Ngai Tahu and it is essential 

we hear their stories and their 

visions for these waterways and 

the best place to do that is on the 

marae.” 

The 68km cycle journey 

from Little River to Taumutu 

will be completed on Saturday 

with regular stops to hear from 

speakers, including Environment

Tour to honour Sheppard’s legacy 

KATE SHEPPARD’S life is set 

to be commemorated as a special 

tour kicks off in the city ahead of 

Suffrage Day on September 19. 

Sheppard was a pioneering 

member of New Zealand’s 

women’s suffrage movement. 

The tour, which launches 

on September 15, will include 

music, a bus trip, a visit to 

Sheppard’s grave and to the Kate 

Sheppard Memorial by the Avon 

River on Oxford Tce. 

Project coordinator Diane 

McCarthy said the tour was “for 

women, by women.” 

“There are many events 

throughout New Zealand and 

Christchurch as part of Suffrage 

125,” she said. 

“Our point of difference is that 

we are here to celebrate Kate 

Sheppard’s life through reliving 

her history.” 

The tour will feature several 

guest speakers, including Public 

Service Association member 

Nancy McShane, who will play 

Sheppard during a suffrage 

performance. 

“From researching Kate’s 

speeches and life, Ms McShane 

brings passion from her own 

political life into the role,” Mrs 

McCarthy said. 

“We all worked with Nancy to 

ICON: The Kate Sheppard Memorial next to the Avon River 

will be part of the tour. 

ensure her portrayal is authentic 

and has the look and feel of this 

radical woman in conservative 

Victorian times.” 

Mrs McCarthy said she had 

tried to capture Sheppard’s life 

as accurately as possible, in spite 

of the damage to some historical 

sites caused by the earthquakes. 

“It’s sad that a third of 

the historical sites are gone, 

demolished and redeveloped, 

pre and post-earthquake,” Mrs 

McCarthy said. 

“But our team has put in 

hundreds of hours of our

Selwyn Sounds 


Local 

News 

Now 



Break out your best dance moves 

Currently on a break from 

a 13-date United Kingdom 

tour, pop artist Leo Sayer 

spoke to reporter Matt 

Salmons about new 

albums, busy schedules 

and his excitement for next 

year’s Selwyn Sounds 

BEST KNOWN for 1976 pop 

tune You Make Me Feel Like 

Dancing, English-born Leo Sayer 

maintains a busy tour schedule. 

Relaxing after his UK tour 

with a family holiday in Italian 

coastal town Porto Ercole with 

partner Donatella, Sayer was 

already looking to fit in an Australian 

tour before the Selwyn 

Sounds. 

Perhaps surprisingly though, 

it would not be the artist’s first 

time in Lincoln. 

Though he did not remember 

much about it, he said he passed 

by the area during a New Zealand 

tour in the 1980s. 

“I haven’t played a show there 

but I’ve been in that part of the 

world. It’s very pretty country,” 

Sayer said. 

Every year he said he pushed 

his agent for New Zealand dates 

and hoped the event in Lincoln 

Domain could be a taster for a 

future tour. 

“It’s always a great audience 

down there, I’m just sad I don’t 

get there as much as I want. 

When this came up I was really 

excited.” 

His last big event here was a 

performance at Hawkes Bay winery 

Mission Estate in 2014. 

“We had a ball down there, it 

was a really good one. I think the 

angle was the Brits, but I’m more 

of an Aussie these days.” 

Based in the Southern Highlands 

of New South Wales, and 

down the road from Jimmy 

Barnes, Sayer said he kept busy 

working on his upcoming album 

Selfie and his personal memoirs. 

“My life’s very busy, but no 

complaints. I just turned 70 in 

May and it’s not getting any less 

busy, I’m very happy. 

“There’s plenty to do when I’m 

not on the road.” 

His new album was “a oneman-band 

thing” he said, but 

had a big sound. 

Manipulating the sounds and 

developing the album himself 

over five months was an enjoyable 

challenge he said. 

“I’m really happy with the 

result. 

“I’m a musician, I can never 

not be writing. The ironic thing 

is, everyone at the concerts wants 

to hear the classics from the 

catalogue.” 

He was not sure if he would be 

ready to showcase Selfie at Selwyn 

Sounds, but he had been running 

his band through the title track 

of the album. 

“Hopefully we can throw that 

in, that would be really fun.” 

As well as Sayer, former INXS 

front man and Noiseworks singer 

Jon Stevens, Eagle Rock writer 

Ross Wilson, legendary Kiwi 

artists Midge Marsden and Peter 

Urlich are on the bill. 

Hits such as Gutter Black, Blue 

Lady and Walking in the Light 

will be belted out by a who’s who 

of the New Zealand music scene 

known as The Golden Kiwis, 

which includes Harry Lyon from 

Hello Sailor and Rikki Morris 

from Crocodiles. 

•Selwyn Sounds will be 

held on Saturday, March 2, 

at Lincoln Domain. Tickets 

are now on sale from 

www.selwynsounds.co.nz 

EXCITED: Leo Sayer says he 

pushes his promoters for 

New Zealand shows every 

year and is excited to play 

Selwyn Sounds next year.

$13.7m for Redcliffs School 

REDCLIFFS SCHOOL 

now has all the money it 

needs to start its rebuild. 

The Government announced 

a further $13.7 

million would be invested, 

bringing the cost 

of rebuilding the school to 

$16 million. 

Education Minister 

Chris Hipkins said the 

funding was in addition 

to $62 million announced 

for the Christchurch 

School’s Rebuild Programme 

in Budget 2018 

QUICK AND EASY: New World Northwood is offering dinner boxes which 

can be ordered online and collected in store. 

New World’s easy 

way to eat fresh 

AS SHOPPER habits and 

needs change, New World 

Northwood is trialling 

a complete online meal 

solution. 

Store owner Kathy 

Frampton said its 

reinventing the way it 

helps customers eat - right 

from how it sources the 

product, how its displayed 

and how customers buy it. 

“We’re tapping into a 

strong customer desire for 

fresh, healthy food which 

is available in all sorts of 

formats – ready to eat, 

ready to heat and ready to 

‘add my own little bit of 

magic’,” she said. 

Customer response has 

been positive to the freshly 

made hot dinner boxes 

which can be ordered 

online then collected from 

the store. 

“There is no waiting, no 

cooking and no guilt as 

these are wholesome meals 

and was part of $332 

million announced in the 

same Budget to support 

school infrastructure. 

“The funding I’m 

announcing today will 

bridge the gap between 

what was originally 

budgeted for Redcliffs 

School in the rebuild 

programme and what is 

required now.” 

In 2013, the school was 

approved for funding in 

the Christchurch School’s 

Rebuild Programme to 

made with love,” she said. 

“We have a huge range of 

fresh, delicious handmade 

options for every type of 

customer – a busy parent 

needing to feed the family, 

a seasoned cook looking 

for inspiration, a business 

organising catering for a 

meeting or a nutritious 

meal for someone living 

alone.” 

She said there is 

something for everyone 

and the meals are 

reasonably priced. 

The Hot Dinner Box is 

available every Tuesday to 

Sunday with a choice of 

two hot meals, made fresh 

each day by chef Daniel. 

If you want to cook, but 

need inspiration try the 

Family Bag. For $25 or 

under you get a complete 

meal including the recipe 

and ingredients for a quick 

and tasty meal for four. 

Or if you want to 

have its facilities rebuilt 

on the existing site. 

However, a decision was 

made to instead relocate 

the school to Redcliffs 

Park. Mr Hipkins said 

demolition of buildings 

on the old site was 

expected to start next 

month, with construction 

of the new site slated to 

start later in the year and 

an estimated opening in 

2020. “Once complete, 

the school will have top 

quality learning spaces.” 

“gourmet” it up a bit, try 

the ever-changing Love 

Food Box – everything you 

need in a box to create a 

delicious dinner for two or 

four. 

The selection of 

handmade pizzas, desserts, 

deli food and meals-forone 

is a mouth-watering 

feast for the eyes. 

When it comes to fresh, 

there are deli salads or if 

hot vegetables are your 

thing – try a ready to heat 

tray of potato mornay or 

roast vegetables. 

New World’s click and 

collect online ordering 

is easy for customers to 

organise meals for the 

week and know that they 

are eating well.

you nominate and enjoy.

Travel 

Chinese tourists unlock South Island 

ABOUT 600 million potential 

Chinese visitors will now be able 

to book holiday experiences in 

the South Island through the 

country’s leading travel app, 

Fliggy. 

Last week, Christchurch 

Airport launched a South Island 

store on the Chinese app, which 

will promote regional tourism 

and economic development. 

Travellers will be able to plan 

and book their travel through 

Fliggy, before they leave home or 

while they are travelling. 

Westland Mayor Bruce 

Smith said the plan is a boost to 

businesses all over the region. 

“It’s outgrowing every other 

market. Tourism is worth $314 

million of the GDP to Westland 

every year,” he said. 

The hope is that Fliggy will 

encourage travellers to visit in the 

slower winter months. 

Fliggy is part of the Chinese 

e-commerce giant Alibaba’s 

digital eco-system and now 

has destinations from all over 

the South Island listed, giving 

the 600 million potential users 

the opportunity to book a New 

Zealand getaway. 

The platform allows them to 

obtain information in Chinese 

about the South Island and 

also uses Alipay, China’s largest 

mobile and online payment platform, 

which will allow visitors to 

pay for services in the way they 

are most familiar with. 

Said chief aeronautical and 

commercial officer at Christchurch 

Airport Justin Watson: “The 

launch puts our South Island 

attractions up amongst many 

of the world’s top destinations, 

helping Chinese travellers find 

us, book where to stay and book 

the fun they want to have while 

they’re here.” 

Representatives flew in from 

China for the official launch last 

Friday in Franz Josef. 

The work is being done in association 

with the South Island’s 

13 regional tourism organisations 

under what is known as the 

SOUTH programme. 

It is now working with more 

than 800 businesses, representing

more than 4700 locations around

Discover the cool Franz Josef Glacier 

Following the launch 

of the South Island 

store on China’s 

leading travel app, 

Fliggy, reporter Sophie 

Cornish flew to the 

West Coast courtesy 

of Christchurch 

Airport. She explored 

the Franz Josef Glacier, 

one of the most 

popular attractions 

fore landing on top of the glacier. 

Experienced guides led the way 

doing what they do on a daily 

basis, cutting through the ice 

with a pickaxe. 

One guide, Andrew Malcolm, 

said he spends most of his days 

cutting tracks and steps to allow 

tourists the opportunity to walk 

safely across the glacier. 

“No one really expects or 

understands what it’s like to be 

up here until you’re up here – 

shock is the most common thing. 

People are just so in awe of what’s 

going on . . . it’s pretty incredible,” 

he said.

Josef Glacier? Visit 

www.franzjosefglacier.com 

WITH WATER dripping down 

the ice walls onto our heads, we 

held our breath, ignored our 

claustrophobic fears and walked 

one by one into a 30m crevasse in 

the Franz Josef Glacier. 

It was what we had been waiting 

the entire three-hour hike for 

– the main event. 

Our jaws dropped and our 

voices echoed as we climbed deep 

into the glacier. 

We walked until it was too narrow 

to move any further. 

These crevasses, formed as a 

result of ice moving downhill, 

and the spectacular blue caves are 

what tourists from all over the 

world flock to the South Island 

to see. 

Known internationally for 

it’s natural beauty, the glacier 

stretches more than 10km over 

the Southern Alps and brings 

hundreds of thousands of tourists 

to the West Coast. 

It is more unique than other 

glaciers, being one of the most 

accessible in the world. 

With crampons attached to our 

boots and walking sticks in hand, 

we spent three hours hiking 

across the 7000-year-old natural 

attraction last Thursday. 

This activity is one of several 

offered by Franz Josef Glacier 

Guides NZ to experience the 

glacier up close. 

It began with a short helicopter

scenes of the Southern Alps, be-

GREAT food 

BROUGHT TO YOU BY... 

Your fresh food people 

SLOW BRAISED BEEF 

CHEEK RAGU WITH 

PARPADELLE 

Ingredients 

1.3-5kg beef cheeks 

salt and pepper 

1 large onion, diced 

4 cloves garlic, minced 

1 cup diced carrot 

1 cup red wine 

2 cups beef stock 

800gm crushed tomatoes 

100-130gm tomato paste 

3 bay leaves 

1-2 teaspoons sugar, to taste 

parpadelle (depending on how 

many people you are serving) 

parmesan, finely grated to serve 

1/2 cup parsley, chopped 

Instructions 

Cut any large bits of fat off 

the beef cheeks. Pat dry with a 

paper towel and season generously 

with salt and pepper. 

Heat a large, heavy based pot 

over high heat with a tablespoon 

of olive oil. Add the beef 

cheeks (one by one if they don’t 

all fit on the bottom) and sear 

on each side to brown all the 

edges (a few minutes per side). 

Remove and set aside. 

In the same pot, turn down 

the heat to low and add the onion 

and garlic. Sautee for 5min, 

stirring to avoid it catching on 

the bottom. 

Add the diced carrot and 

cook gently for 10min until just 

softened. 

Add a splash of the red 

wine and cook for a couple of 

minutes. Add the rest of the red 

wine, the beef stock, crushed 

tomatoes, tomato paste and bay 

leaves and stir to combine. 

Add the seared beef back into 

the sauce. Bring back to a simmer, 

then cover and turn to a very low 

heat and keep at a low simmer for 

three hours. Remove the lid and 

At 

simmer for a further 30min or 

until the beef cheeks are almost 

falling apart. 

Remove the beef from the 

pot and set aside. Bring the 

sauce to a rapid simmer for a 

further 20min to thicken the 

sauce. Taste and adjust sugar 

for seasoning (this may depend 

on what brand of canned tomatoes 

you use as some have more 

sugar than others) 

Meanwhile, use two forks 

to shred the beef into bite-size 

pieces. Return to the sauce and 

stir to combine. 

At this point, you can either 

serve the sauce, refrigerate until 

the next day for even better 

flavour, or freeze half for future 

use. 

Boil the pasta according to 

packet instructions. 

Meanwhile, heat the sauce 

in a large frypan with a splash 

of the pasta water to loosen if 

it has been refrigerated or 

frozen. 

Add the cooked pasta to the 

sauce and toss with tongs and 

a serving spoon to thoroughly 

coat the pasta in the ragu sauce. 

Serve with grated parmesan 

and finely chopped parsley. 

Serve with fresh ciabatta and 

oven roasted broccollini.

Grow great gazanias 

Dive into salad season 

• By Henri Ham 

SPRING IS officially here. And, 

while I do enjoy winter and I love 

hearty winter soups and casseroles, 

I’m really looking forward 

to some lighter meals now that 

salad season is right around the 

corner. 

If you also want to enjoy a tasty 

salad or two during spring and 

summer, it’s now time to plant 

some leafy vegetables. I like to 

stagger my planting of different 

varieties from now right through 

summer to ensure I always have 

some fresh greens to graze on. 

Endive is always in my first 

line-up of salad plantings because 

it’s so tasty and versatile. But also 

because its super quick and easy 

to grow. 

Endive is a curly leafed lettuce 

with slightly bitter leaves. Not to 

be confused with Belgian endive, 

which has white broader thicker 

leaves (also called whitloof). And 

also frisee, a similar milder variety 

with fine lacy leaves. 

Unlike other lettuces endive 

doesn’t grow with a heart, which 

means you can pick as it grows. 

The leaves in the centre of endive 

are sweeter and more delicate 

than the outer leaves, which have 

a slightly bitter taste. 

Plant your seedlings in a welldrained 

spot 5cm apart from each 

other. I’ve just planted some in 

pots to have close to the kitchen 

as my soil was still a bit wet from 

winter. 

Now all there is to do is watch 

out for snails and slugs, and keep 

it watered. If you let your endive 

dry out it will taste bitter and also 

go to seed faster. 

On a side note, when endive 

goes to seed it grows a fabulous 

purple flower. If you don’t need 

the space straight away in your 

garden let it go to seed and enjoy 

this. 

In four to six weeks you’ll be 

cutting leaves for your salads. 

Harvest the leaves from several 

plants at once. That way you 

encourage new growth from your 

plants. 

Got children? This is a great 

job for them to be in charge of. 

Let them go out at dinner time 

TASTY: Endive 

seedlings grow 

well in pots. 

Watch for slugs 

and snails. 

and select which leaves they want 

for the salad. 

And now for some serious 

salad talk. I use an old salad hack 

with endive. First I roughly chop 

the inner leaves and then finely 

slice the outer leaves. This gives 

the illusion your salad has two 

types of leaves in it. At the same 

time adds great texture to your 

salad. 

Endive is heartier than other 

lettuce greens, which makes it 

delicious to use as a bed of greens 

to place your grilled chicken or 

fish on top of. 

I find it works well with creamy 

dressings, eggs and toasted nuts. 

I sometimes like to use it as an 

alternative for cos in my homemade 

caesar salads. It’s also very 

popular as a base for a classic 

French bistro salad that has bacon 

and egg on it. 

If you’re already feeling ‘saladed 

out’ before you begin, you might 

be pleased to know it also tastes 

great in a cheese toasted sandwich. 

Add ham, cheese and endive 

then toast. 

LOOKING FOR some easy-care, 

bright and beautiful flowers to lift 

your garden spirits? 

How about growing gazanias to 

bring some fiery orange blooms 

to your garden? 

With names like kiss orange 

flame, sunshine and kiss rose, 

these guys are bold, bright and 

best of all blooming easy to grow. 

Sometimes called the African 

daisy, gazanias have the same 

shape as the English (common) 

daisy. But their flowers are much 

larger (up to 10cm across) and 

come in vibrant colours like 

orange, red and pink. 

They can grow to 30cm high 

and are best used for mass planting 

in garden beds, as ornamental 

ground cover and to edge lawns. 

They also look great in pots, tubs 

and window boxes. 

The best thing about gazanias is 

they survive with almost no care. 

They’re very tolerant of poor, 

dry and sandy soil. Making them 

ideal for a house at the beach or 

areas that you don’t get around to 

watering much. 

Gazania are super easy to plant. 

Simply dig a small hole and space 

each seedling 20cm apart. 

Although they are drought 

resistant you will get bigger and 

more flowers if you do water 

them. I always try to pinch off 

fading flowers with my fingers to 

encourage more to bloom. 

In late winter or early spring, 

give your gazania plants a prune 

by cutting the foliage back to five 

to 10cm above the ground. You 

can do this with pruning shears 

(another reason why they are 

super easy to look after) and it 

will revive the plant and bring on 

new growth. 

And now for a fun flower 

fact. Gazania flowers close up at 

night. Why? To reduce their risk 

of freezing. And if it’s cloudy the 

next day they won’t open fully. 

COLOURFUL: If you water your gazanias you’ll get bigger 

flowers..

Madagascan beauty with attitude 

• By Shannon Hunt 

WHILE THE indoor plant 

Euphorbia milii, better known as 

crown of thorns, can be described 

as ‘prickly’ it is without doubt 

beautiful and intriguing. 

It is one of those plants likely to 

prompt a lot of conversation with 

friends and family from its sunny 

vantage point in your lounge 

or sunroom. 

With its seriously spiky stem and 

poisonous sap, place your crown 

of thorns out of reach of children 

and pets, and wear gloves when 

attending to its branches and soil. 

Other than that it is an easy indoor 

plant to care for and, in the right 

location, it will reward you with 

gorgeous, waxy, red, yellow or pink 

flowers almost all year round. If 

you miss an occasional watering, 

this hardy plant is unlikely to turn 

up its toes. 

It originates from a droughtresistant 

country so is best 

watered when dry as it is used to 

surviving through difficult times 

and challenging environments. 

Whatever you do, though, do not 

overwater it. It will not thank you 

for it. 

Native to Madagascar, the 

history books suggest the crown 

of thorns was introduced to the 

Middle East in ancient times 

oN sAle Now! 

and its name is believed to have 

originated from the stems being 

used to adorn the head of Christ 

at his crucifixion. If you compare 

the spikes of your plant with those 

in famous paintings of this event, 

you will immediately see the 

similarity. 

Growing a crown of thorns plant 

outdoors in a garden in Thailand 

is regarded as good luck and they 

claim to have grown the largest 

specimen there. The more flowers 

your plant produces every year 

determines how much good luck 

you will have in that year – so 

growing lots of potted specimens 

in your home could be a very 

positive and rewarding move. 

In New Zealand it is best grown 

indoors in pots and needs at least 

three hours of direct sunshine 

each day. It performs best when 

grown in free-draining cacti and 

succulent mix. 

It requires only an occasional 

liquid feed throughout the year. 

As the days get warmer and 

the soil gets drier your plant 

will need to be watered a little 

more often; when it starts to 

get cold again less watering 

will be required, unless you 

have a heat pump or an effective 

fireplace that will dry your 

plant out quickly. In this type of 

atmosphere you need 

to water the plant accordingly. 

To test if your crown of thorns 

needs to be watered, push your 

finger into the potting mix and 

if it comes out totally dry, take 

the pot outside and give the soil a 

soaking, making sure you do not 

leave water in the saucer. 

After two years’ growth, repot 

your plant into a larger container 

so it can continue to grow and 

produce even more flowers and 

make more ‘good luck’ for you 

and your family. 

PROPAGATION 

If your friends and family are 

making noises about wanting a 

crown of thorns plant, it is very 

easy to propagate this succulent 

once it’s of a good size. Grab 

your sharp secateurs and your 

gardening gloves, cut off a branch 

from the main stem with an 

angular cut, remove two thirds 

of the foliage and the thorns (do 

not attempt this without good 

protective gloves), pop the cut 

end into cloning gel and plant it 

into fine pumice or clean river 

sand. Place a small plastic bag 

over the foliage and put the plant 

in your bathroom or near your 

shower (not in it) where it is 

humid, and wait until the roots 

have developed. Then, pot.

POT PLANT: The crown of thorns likes a dry environment 

and three hours of sun in a day.

From school rugby to NRL history 


Isaako 

top 

points 

scorer 

• By Gordon Findlater 

GROWING UP on the east side 

of Christchurch post-earthquake 

in a household struggling to 

make ends meet is starting to 

feel like a distant memory for the 

highest-scoring rookie the NRL 

has ever seen. 

Six years ago Jamayne Isaako 

had just finished his first season 

of first XV rugby with Shirley 

Boys’ High School. Now the 

22-year-old has just finished the 

NRL regular season as its top 

points scorer and is the favourite 

to win the Dally M rookie of the 

year title. 

More impressively his haul 

of 233 points for the Brisbane 

Broncos has seen him become 

the highest scoring rookie player 

in Australian rugby league’s 111- 

year history. 

On Sunday, Isaako’s Broncos 

side host the St George Illawarra 

Dragons in a must-win opening 

week finals match. At the rate 

Isaako is gaining accolades, helping 

lead the Broncos to a seventh 

premiership can’t be written off. 

At the weekend the winger/ 

fullback recorded a 20-point 

haul including a try, six conversions 

and two penalty goals in 

the Broncos’ 48-16 win over the 

Manly Sea Eagles. 

The effort saw him finish just 

ahead of Sydney Roosters’ centre 

Latrell Mitchell (228). Isaako also 

finished the competition with 

more conversions than any other 

player (94), ahead of Melbourne 

Storm star Cameron Smith (88). 

“After I converted one of the 

tries one of the guys said: ‘Latrell 

scored a few points last night 

you need to score as many as you 

can’. It sort of got me worried 

because I had missed a couple 

of kicks before that . . . when I 

scored the try and converted that 

I had a feeling I was in front.” 

The path to Isaako becoming 

HISTORY-MAKER: Former first XV rugby 

star Jamayne Isaako has now become the 

NRL’s highest scoring rookie of all time. 

EARLY DAYS: Isaako’s star potential as a teenager at Shirley Boys’ High School saw him 

scouted by Australian clubs. 

the NRL’s newest star began in 

2012 when he was spotted by 

a Cronulla Sharks scout while 

playing for the SBHS first XV as 

a year 11. 

“I was playing at a time when 

the earthquake had happened. 

Footy was a chance for me to 

move away from home and try to 

make a name for myself and get 

picked up. At the time my family 

was struggling and I just wanted 

to be one less mouth for my mum 

and dad to feed,” said Isaako. 

“I was playing at a time 

when the earthquake had 

happened . . . at the time 

my family was struggling 

and I just wanted to be one 

less mouth for my mum 

and dad to feed.” 

– Jamayne Isaako 

After impressing on a trial 

with the Sharks he was signed 

to a three-year deal the club. 

However, before progressing 

through the junior ranks he 

returned to Christchurch due to 

home sickness which saw him 

play for the St Bede’s College 

first XV in 2013 where he led the 

team in points. 

“I moved over on my own and 

just found it really tough at one 

stage . . . Cronulla came knocking 

again and wanted me to go 

back to Sydney. They promised 

me a lot of things which never 

really happened which led me to 

come to Brisbane.” 

Growing up in Aranui and 

spending his early schooling 

days at South New Brighton 

School idolising Dan Carter and 

the Crusaders, becoming a star 

in the NRL with the Broncos is a 

journey he couldn’t have imagined 

at the time. 

“It’s an unreal feeling. I’m just 

blessed and grateful that I’m 

able to do what I love week-in 

week-out on the big stage and 

everything is going really well at 

the moment.” 

Isaako’s first dabble in the 13- 

man code was with the Aranui 

Eagles. He played as a teenager 

occasionally for his uncle’s 

team when rugby commitments 

didn’t interfere. He has now 

recently signed a new deal with 

the Broncos for the next four 

years, but is open to the idea of 

returning to play union later in 

his career. 

“I would love to play rugby 

[union] again. I wouldn’t mind 

coming back home at some stage 

in my career.”

Experienced boxers in national champs 

Sam Watt 


CANTERBURY WILL have 

plenty of experience in their 

squad when they compete at the 

New Zealand Amateur Boxing 

Championships at the Hornby 

Workingmen’s Club next month. 

So far 15 of the Canterbury 

squad have been confirmed to 

compete at home for the first time 

since 2010. 

Box-offs are scheduled this 

weekend to see who else makes 

the selection criteria before the 

event which runs from October 

3 to 6. 

The team includes four elite boxers 

who will be out to defend the 

national titles they won in 2017. 

Papanui’s Sam Watt will look to 

defend his 91kg-plus elite title as 

will his clubmate Ryan Entesse. 

Riverside’s Sunny Teki-Clark 

will look to do the same in the 

elite 81kg class, while Redwood’s 

Rendz Remaneses will look to 

go back-to-back in the elite 56kg 

class. 

Coach Mark Fuller said while 

boxers could be added to the 

squad depending on performances 

at local events over the 

next fortnight, he was happy with 

how the team is shaping up. 

“We want to make sure we 

put on a show on our home turf 

and this team is certainly strong 

enough to do it,” he said. 

Fuller said Canterbury was 

considered one of the toughest 

teams to get into given the strict 

selection criteria which encompassed 

bouts at a club, national 

and international level. 

“We’ve never been one to go 

and just make up the numbers, 

Fuller said. “We always want to be 

the most successful team there. 

Fuller said the team would train 

together in the coming weeks 

once the squad was finalised. 

Stadium name – boring 

WE’RE NOW almost a month deep into 

now referring to the former AMI Stadium 

as Christchurch Stadium, but with no 

naming rights in play now surely we can 

come up with something more fitting to 

describe our outdated temporary stadium. 

Yes, we’ve now entered that silly season 

where we have to adjust to a new name, 

much like when we went from Lancaster 

Park to Jade Stadium, and then to AMI 

Stadium. 

Lancaster Park had history associated 

with its name and then the money came 

along. 

However, what history is associated 

with the name Christchurch Stadium? 

Considering this is supposed to be 

a temporary thing and a central city 

One-eyed Cantab 

Gordon Findlater 

gordon.findlater@starmedia.kiwi 

stadium of the future is on the cards can 

we not have a bit of fun while we put up 

with the cold den we’ve looked forward 

to watching great rugby at over the past 

seven years? 

Like we did with the future of the city 

following the earthquakes can we not 

put the name of our outdated temporary 

stadium to the people . . . The Marquee, 

The Pop Up, Goodwill and Blu Tack, Give 

Us a New One Stadium or even Rugby 

League Park - it was the original name 

and at least has history. Food for thought. 

The squad is: 

Elite male: Sam Watt 

91kg-plus (Papanui), Trevor 

Swainson 91kg (Woolston), 

Sunny Teki-Clark 81kg (Riverside), 

Alex Oliver 75kg (Riverside), 

Wiremu Herbert 64kg (Smiling 

Tigers), Sam Clark 64kg (Smiling

Elite female: Tegan Clark 57kg

LONG WAIT: The Canterbury Country rugby team celebrate their 31-20 win 

over Canterbury Metro which saw them win the Craw Shield for the first 

time in 10 years. 

Victor makes a late 

arrival at celebrations 


CANTERBURY Country 

had a beer with their 

newest addition, Victor at 

training on Monday night. 

Victor is the affectionate 

nickname of the Victor 

Craw Shield which the 

team won back from 

Canterbury Metro for the 

first time in 10 years after 

31-20 victory at Kaiapoi on 

Sunday. 

In an odd twist, the 

shield never made it to 

Kaiapoi which meant 

Canterbury Country’s 

celebratory team photo 

had no silverware. 

Country coach Nigel 

Smith said the shield was 

delivered from Rugby 

Park to the team in time 

for their Monday night 

training. 

“We had a beer as a 

team with Victor (on 

Monday night),” he said. 

Canterbury Metro assistant 

coach Dan O’Brien 

said his team thought 

Canterbury Rugby Union 

board members were 

bringing it with them and 

it wasn’t until the conclusion 

of the game. 

Smith said it was a frustrating 

post-match moment 

to realise the shield 

was not at the ground. 

“Perhaps Metro were 

confident of keeping it 

so they didn’t feel they 

needed to have it with 

them,” Smith said. 

Metro assistant coach 

Daniel O’Brien said it was 

not a case of sour grapes 

on the part of his team 

and instead blamed the 

Canterbury Rugby Union 

board. 

“Usually it’s a member 

of the board who brings 

it out and our manager 

certainly said to us postmatch 

that there should 

have been a shield there at 

the game.” 

Ellesmere president Stu 

Boon, who is also on the 

CRU board, said it was a 

case of one group thinking 

another group had the 

shield with them. 

“Usually it is the manager 

of the current holders 

who makes sure that it 

gets to the game but I 

was told Metro thought a 

couple of board members 

had it with them and were 

heading to the game. 

“A bit of confusion all 

round,” he said.

Barnes back in style 


RYAN BARNES is proving to be 

a match winner for Christchurch 

Boys’ High School after thinking 

he had played his last match for 

the school following a tear to his 

hamstring in May. 

On Saturday the 17-year-old 

winger scored a hat-trick as 

CBHS defeated Otago Boys’ High 

School 29-26. 

A week earlier he returned for 

the first time since the hamstring 

tear when he came off the bench 

to score a crucial late try to level 

their final with Christ’s College 

18-18 and grant CBHS the UC 

Championship. 

“I was told I was probably going 

to need surgery and it would 

be quite a long term thing,” said 

Barnes. 

“Initially I was just grateful 

to be able to play for Boys’ High 

again so it was pretty unreal 

really.” 

Barnes’ hat-trick in his 40th 

match for the first XV will see 

CBHS travel to Palmerston 

North today to compete at the 1st 

XV National Championships for 

the first time since 2014. 

“Obviously in the last few years 

the South Island representatives 

have struggled up there, but 

there’s definitely a belief within 

our team that we have the ability 

to go up there and win,” said 

Barnes. 

The South Island win also 

came with a sense of justice 

for Barnes after losing 31-36 to 

Southland Boys’ High School last 

year when SBHS scored a winning 

try many believe came well 

after the full-time whistle should 

have been blown. 

It’s not just on the rugby field

that Barnes’ has had success. 

In 2016 Barnes qualified for 

the final of the final of the senior 

boys 100m sprint at the New 

Zealand secondary schools athletics 

championships. 

He was the youngest athlete in 

the field where he placed seventh. 

He also recorded a personal 

best of 11.15secs over 100m last 

year. 

Barnes admits that athletics is 

supplementary to his rugby commitments. 

However, he plans to get on 

the track this coming summer 

and believes there are parallels 

between the two sports. 

“With me not being the biggest 

guy out there on the field I 

need to try and find some other 

strengths so my athletics and 

sprinting in particular are a 

massive help on the field,” said 

Barnes. 

He now hopes that speed can 

come in handy in what will be 

his biggest match for the school. 

CBHS play Napier Boys’ High 

School tomorrow for a chance to 

play in Sunday’s final. 

CBHS have won three national 

titles which came on the trot 

from 2004-2006. 

Meanwhile, Rangiora High 

School will compete in the top 

four co-ed national finals after 

defeating Gore High School 42- 

17 at the weekend. 

They play Feilding High School 

on Thursday for a chance to 

progress to Sunday’s final. 

Canty U19 squad named 

CANTERBURY’S RUGBY stars 

of the future head to Taupo 

this weekend to compete in the 

Jock Hobbs Memorial National 

under-19 Tournament. 

Head coach Grant Keenan has 

named his 25-man squad for 

the tournament, which will see 

Canterbury take on Auckland 

first up on Sunday. 

Canterbury finished as top 

qualifier in the southern region 

tournament, following wins 

in recent weeks over Otago, 

Southland and Tasman. They 

will compete in the top eight 

premiership division for the 

Graham Mourie Cup. 

The last time Canterbury lifted 

the cup was in 2015, when they 

defeated Waikato 41-35. 

“It was a tough decision to 

narrow down the squad to 25 

names, but this is an exceptional 

group of young players who 

we know will wear the red and 

black jersey with a lot of pride in 

Taupo.” 

“The under-19 is a challenging 

tournament with New Zealand’s 

future rugby stars on show, but 

this group are really embracing 

that challenge and we look 

forward to seeing what we can 

achieve together on the national 

stage this year,” Keenan said. 

The tournament wraps up on 

September 15, after matches at 

Owen Delany Park in Taupo.

WHEN CANTERBURY 

brushed aside Manawatu 57-7 

in 2015, Rob Thompson was the 

man of the moment running in 

three tries. 

But tonight he will be one of 

the biggest threats the red and 

blacks have to address. 

The centre ,who earned 49 

caps for Canterbury, has been a 

standout for Manawatu in the 

opening three rounds of the 

Mitre 10 Cup, having scored on 

every occasion since making the 

move north. 

When the two sides do battle 

at Christchurch Stadium tonight 

Canterbury coach Joe Maddock 

will be hoping his former player 

isn’t at his best. 

“He’s a great player and 

we’ve seen what he’s done from 

Canterbury in the past and 

we’ve seen what he can do for 

Manawatu in the opening three 

games so he’s certainly someone 

we’ll have to keep an eye on,” 

said Maddock. 

Meanwhile, Maddock’s 

midfield has been reinforced 

for tonight with the return 

of Scottish international Phil 

Burleigh who makes his return 

after sustaining a knee injury in 

Canterbury’s week one loss to 

Tasman. 

“Experience is a big part 

of success in any Mitre 10 

Cup team. We’ve had highly

Alongside Burleigh in the

Sport 

in brief 

Blakemore wins world 

masters title 

Jeannie Blakemore has won a masters 

world title at the UCI Gran Fondo 

World Championships in Varese, Italy. 

Blakemore was crowned time trial 

world champion in the female 40-44 age 

bracket title. She completed the course in 

33min 25sec at an average speed of just 

under 40km/h. Blackmore also finished 

eighth in the road race. 

Canterbury bowls players 

in line for awards 

Canterbury are well represented amongst 

the finalists for the Bowls New Zealand 

annual awards. Woodend Bowling Club 

is a finalist for the club of the year. Other 

finalists are Murray Dickson (greenkeeper 

of the year), Raelene Peters (coach of the 

year), Mandy Boyd (female player of the 

year), Bruce Wakefield (para sport award) 

and the Canterbury women’s inter-centre 

team (team of the year). 

Automatic promotion 

for netball teams 

The Christchurch Netball Centre’s 

Saturday competition has concluded 

with closed grade premiership-winning 

teams earning automatic promotion to 

start 2019. In the senior one grand final 

Marist defeated St Andrew’s A 45-40 

to win the Joyce Edwards Cup and also 

won promotion to the premier two 

competition next year. The senior two 

final Saints B defeated Belfast A 49-48 to 

win automatic promotion to senior one 

next year. 

International opportunity for 

baseball player 

Mt Pleasant’s Joshua Wilson will travel 

to the United States next month as part 

of the New Zealand under-18 baseball 

team. The team will compete against US 

and other international sides between 

October 10 and 14 at the invitational 

event. Baseball Canterbury president 

Brian Hemera said Joshua was a 

determined player who had rapidly risen 

in the sport over his two-year tenure. 

He said the trip was an opportunity for 

Joshua to be noticed by the college and 

pro scouts who regularly attended the 

event. 

Cotton selected for 

international panel 

Canterbury umpire Kim Cotton has been 

selected for the ICC development panel of 

umpires. Cotton made her international 

umpiring debut last season in the White 

Ferns series against the West Indies 

women and just last week umpired in 

an ICC world T20 qualifier in Suva, Fiji. 

The ICC Development Panel of Umpires 

is seen as a pathway for associate and 

affiliate nation umpires as well as female 

umpires hoping to gain experience. She 

is now eligible to umpire ICC events such 

as associate men’s internationals, ICC 

women’s championship and any other 

games the ICC deem appropriate. 

Former Canty players make 

junior Kiwis squad 

Christchurch products Jordan Riki 

(Brisbane Broncos) and Cruz Topai-Aveai 

(Cronulla Sharks) have been named in 

the Junior Kiwis wider training squad 

ahead of their upcoming match against 

the Junior Kangaroos on October 13.



Local 

News 

Now 


Warriors wary of Panthers enforcer 

ONE MAN alone doesn’t make 

a team but the Warriors openly 

acknowledge Penrith enforcer 

Viliame Kikau isn’t your 

ordinary, off-the-shelf type of 

rugby league player either. 

The Warriors insist they won’t 

specifically target the 119kg, 

1.95m Fijian behemoth in Saturday 

night’s elimination final 

at ANZ Stadium even if they are 

very aware of the myriad dangers 

the Panthers second-rower poses. 

And well the Warriors might 

be wary. Kikau set up a try, 

scored another and made a 

general nuisance of himself racking 

up 174m and seven tackle 

breaks in the 36-4 thrashing of 

the Warriors in July, a night that 

opposing centre Peta Hiku in 

particular is keen to forget. 

Kikau wasn’t quite as effective 

(91 run metres, six tackle breaks 

and 29 tackles made) when the 

Auckland club avenged that 

round-17 loss with a 36-16 win at 

Mt Smart Stadium in round 24. 

He even displayed a human 

side by coughing up a bomb that 

led to David Fusitu’a crashing 

over early in the second half, a 

try that effectively snuffed out a 

short-lived Panthers comeback. 

But Kikau’s average of 128m 

in his 23 Telstra Premiership 

appearances this season, coupled 

with 100 tackle breaks (at 4.34 

per game), will make him a 

marked man as counterpart Tohu 

Harris recognised. 

“He certainly is one of the biggest 

challenges in the comp,” said 

Harris. 

“He hasn’t just shown flashes 

throughout the season, he’s done 

it consistently throughout the 

season, you know, tearing sides 

apart and showing how dangerous 

he is. 

“He’s definitely someone we 

have to prepare for but in saying 

that they’ve got a lot of players 

who can do damage to footy sides 

so we’ve all got to be on the ball 

and all defend as well as we can 

to stop the other team.” 

Warriors coach Stephen 

Kearney offered a “not 

necessarily, no” retort when 

asked if there was a blueprint to 

specifically target the left-edge 

destroyer. But he agreed Kikau 

needed to be watched – just like 

many of his Panthers teammates.

Turbo boost for Kona 

• By Ross Kiddie 

HYUNDAI New Zealand 

has been well served by 

an extensive sport utility 

vehicle range. 

For many years it has had 

Santa Fe, IX crossover, and 

Tucson, all have sold with 

considerable success in 

New Zealand. Not a company 

to rest on its laurels, 

Hyundai realised the need 

to explore other segments 

of the SUV market, and 

just recently a newcomer 

landed – the Kona. 

The Kona is a small SUV, 

not tiny, but it is a car for 

those who like to travel 

light. It arrives here in two 

four-cylinder petrol engine 

variations a 2-litre normally 

aspirated unit and a 1.6-litre 

turbocharged unit. The latter 

arrives with four-wheeldrive, 

the 2-litre model is 

front wheel-drive only. 

Prices start at $31,990 for 

the 2-litre, an extra $5000 

will buy you into a high 

grade Elite version, while 

the turbocharged models 

sit at $36,990 and $41,990 

(Elite). At the time of print, 

Hyundai New Zealand has 

just launched a fully electric 

Kona, pricing for the 

EV is yet to be announced. 

The subject of this evaluation 

is the Elite turbo which 

drives through a sevenshift 

dual clutch automatic 

gearbox. Hyundai claims 

130kW at just 5500rpm, if 

you add in 265Nm all of 

the way from 1500rpm to 

4500rpm, it’s easy to fathom 

out how free-revving 

and willing the engine is 

through the mid-range. 


THE fifth-generation Subaru 

Forester sport utility 

vehicle will launch in New 

Zealand later this month. 

It will arrive with the 

choice of three variants all 

with a 2.5-litre, four-cylinder 

petrol engine. They are 

Sport ($39,990), Sport Plus 

($44,990) and Premium 

($47,490). 

The new Forester debuts 

with Subaru’s first-ever 

driver monitoring system 

which sets driver preferences 

for seat position, door 

mirrors, air conditioning 

and some instrument displays 

using facial recognition 

technology. 

Within seconds of sitting 

inside the Forester, 

the system recognises the 

driver and automatically 

adjusts the car to his or her 

settings. Up to five drivers 

can be registered. 

HYUNDAI KONA: Normally-aspirated or 

turbocharged engine option. 

• Price – Hyundai Kona 

Elite turbo, $41,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4165mm; width, 

1800mm; height, 

1565mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

front-wheeldrive, 

1591cc, 130kW, 

265Nm, six-speed 

automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 8sec 

• Fuel usage – 

6.7l/100km 

That also has a complementary 

effect on fuel 

usage. Rated at 6.7-litre per 

100km (42mpg), the Kona 

is a bit of a fuel miser; well, 

at around 1500kg there’s 

not a lot of weight to drag 

around, so that is beneficial. 

Against the stopwatch 

the Kona turbo will cut 

out a standstill to 100km/h 

time of 8sec, and will leap 

through a highway overtake 

in 4.8sec. 

The Kona feelts taut and 

tightly connected to the 

road through the steering. 

That’s an attribute I rate 

highly in any car, and it 

Another feature of the 

system is a wondering gaze 

warning if the driver continues 

to look away from 

the road ahead, visual and 

audio alerts are sent to both 

driver and passengers. It 

can also detect if the driver 

is getting drowsy. Drowsiness 

is recognised by calculating 

the time ratio the 

driver’s eyes are closed. 

Subaru of New Zealand’s 

managing director Wallis 

Dumper says: “We imagine 

this comprehensive 

technology package could 

be the envy of some of our 


doesn’t disappoint. A lot of 

that is due to its compact 

stature, the Kona is agile 

and nimble. Of course, fourwheel-drive 

adds in a lot of 

natural grip, the Kona feels 

sedan-like with its handling 

and comes without the cost 

of suspension firming. 

Occupant comfort is high, 

the spring and damper rates 

are a balanced compromise, 

the Kona has suspension 

which deals to all road 

surfaces with positive 

absorption. In comparison 

to its 2-litre stablemate, 

the four-wheel-drive 

version has to have a fully 

independent rear end and 

that provides good freedom 

of movement at the rear, 

something that hampers the 

front-wheel-drive version 

ever so slightly. 

That aside, the Kona in 

both forms still has my seal 

of approval. In Elite form it 

wants for nothing in terms 

of specification, it has a 

high level of fitment. 

Personally, I’d opt for 

the non-Elite model, I’m 

more of a cloth trim fan as 

opposed to leather, but that 

is a personal preference.

The horizontally-opposed 

Boxer engine is mostly new, 

compared to the previous 

model the engine has 90 

per cent new components. 

It is linked to Subaru’s

Success for Christchurch 

Mitsubishi dealership 


A NEW seven-seat sport 

utility vehicle will launch 

here in October. 

Named Acadia, it will 

be the first time Holden 

New Zealand has offered a 

GMC-based product in its 

line-up. 

Acadia boasts all the 

American presence and 

swagger you’d expect from 

a large SUV but, importantly, 

has had Holden 

input from early on. 

While Acadia is unashamedly 

American in 

its design, its performance 

and driving persona has 

that signature Holden feel 

thanks to local engineering 

input. Using lessons 

learned from recent 

Commodore and Colorado 

programmes, Holden 

engineers have focused on 

delivering the direct steering 

and composed ride that 

resonates with Kiwis. 

Acadia is driven by a 

powerful V6 engine and 

nine-speed automatic 

transmission. It drives 

through the front wheels, 

although an all-wheel drive 

version will be available. 

Standard across the range 

is a new traction select 

system, which allows the 

SUCCESS: (From left) – Hamish McDonald, Tania 

Watene and Stephen Bamber, winners at the 

Mitsubishi Motors New Zealand national annual 

skills competition. 

MITSUBISHI Motors New 

Zealand has demonstrated 

strength in depth across its 

dealership network over 

months of rigorous testing. 

The country’s top individuals 

from service, parts 

and sales departments went 

head-to-head in this year’s 

final and it was Christchurch 

Mitsubishi which 

set the gold standard. 

Twelve finalists, who 

emerged from four qualifying 

rounds held throughout 

the year, were put through 

their paces in four categories 

in Queenstown on 

August 27. The sales category 

was a new addition 

this year, included to allow 

sales staff to showcase their 

skills and benchmark their 

performance against their 

colleagues in other parts of 

the country. 

The overall winners were: 

Best service technician – 

Hamish McDonald (Christchurch 

Mitsubishi); best 

service adviser – Michael 

Strudwick (Mexted Mitsubishi); 

best parts adviser 

– Steve Bamber (Christchurch 

Mitsubishi); best 

vehicle sales professional 

– Tania Watene (Christchurch 

Mitsubishi). 

MMNZ general manager 

aftersales, Noel Comerford, 

said that while the competition 

was extremely tight, 

the representatives from 

Christchurch Mitsubishi 

had demonstrated exceptionally 

high expertise and 

consistency across all areas 

to take a near-clean sweep. 

“It was great to see all of 

our finalists performing at 

such a high level,” said Mr 

Comerford. 

“What can we say about 

Christchurch? What an impressive 

result from a single 

dealership. Each individual 

won on their own merits, 

although it is clear that, as a 

team, they share a common 

goal of exceptional customer 

service – and a drive 

to deliver on that.’’ 

Each of the finalists was 

required to complete a theory 

examination first, before 

demonstrating their skills in 

a practical challenge. 

Mr McDonald and Mr 

Strudwick, will compete 

against the very best from 

around the world in a 

global skills competition 

held in Japan in February.

Awards for Excellence 

Christchurch real estate agencies took out 

three awards at last night’s 2018 REINZ 

Awards for Excellence – the industry’s 

annual national awards evening. 

Awards won by Christchurch agencies 

included: 

• Large Residential Office: Bayleys Whalan 

and Partners Christchurch 

• Medium Commercial and Industrial 

Office: Colliers International South Island

Show Homes - the ultimate way to shop around 

In Christchurch and the surrounding rural districts we are blessed 

with an extensive array of very good quality show homes. 

Building companies build show homes 

to demonstrate their workmanship, 

display innovative design ideas and 

present a snapshot into a new and 

luxurious lifestyle featuring all the latest 

in materials, fittings and fixtures. 

A show home can inspire you in a 

way nothing else can. You can absorb 

the ambiance they present, admire the 

innovative techniques, new materials 

and technology all in one place, under 

a roof that you may just select for your 

new home. 

At a show home you can ask 

questions, take notes and compare them 

to other builders’ presentations. You 

don’t have to visualise or imagine full 

scale from a photo in a glossy, you can 

simply see at a glance, often instinctively, 

features you like, things you would avoid 

and clever innovation that you never 

would have thought of. 

Best of all you will see the building 

competition. To be the best of the best is a 

noteworthy achievement. 

“Congratulations to all our finalists and 

winners for your achievements – these 

accomplishments are something you 

can be extremely proud of. Thank you for 

helping to raise the bar of the real estate 

industry and for all your hard work,” she 

concludes. 

The 2018 REINZ Awards for Excellence 

were held at the Cordis Auckland and 

saw 42 awards handed out to agents from 

different sectors of the industry. The full list 

of awards and their recipients is available

companies’ attention to detail, from 

design, construction and finish through 

to interior decor, outdoor living and

Show homes are the perfect way to 

get a good idea of pricing, discover what 

is good quality and value, learn about 

superior use of space, future-proofing, 

ongoing maintenance and long term 

returns. So what are you waiting for?
