Gridlock as Christmas arrives Projects

town hall
blowout
BUMPER TO BUMPER: The Blenheim Rd overbridge yesterday.
• By Matt Slaughter and
Sophie Cornish
RAIN AND the Christmas rush
led to gridlock on some of the
city’s roads yesterday.
Motorists had long waits at
key points on main arterials,
with traffic backed up for
hundreds of metres.
Road policing operations
manager Senior Sergeant Kelly
Larsen said motorists should
“take a breath, relax, be patient
and focus on getting where they
need to be safely.”
“The roads are really busy at
the moment. Obviously there is
a couple of days before a lot of
people finish work on Friday,”
she said.
“A lot of people out trying
to do Christmas preparation.
Trying to beat orange lights to
get places 20sec earlier is just
not worth it.
“We want everyone to
get home and be at home in
one piece and be able to spend
that time with family and
friends.”

THE $15 million budget
blowout for the delayed town
hall restoration will come at the
expense of other capital projects.
But which ones are yet to be
decided.
City councillors approved a
$15 million injection yesterday,
which comes in addition to a
$11.65 million top-up in May.
The funding will be skimmed
from the city council’s capital
programme, which a number
of city councillors have raised
concerns over. However, it will
not have an impact on rates.
“Other projects, projects
communities have fought for
. . . I really can’t stomach that
conversation next year, that
is going to be really, really
challenging,” city councillor
Deon Swiggs said.
City councillor Mike Davidson
said it will be “a battle” to find
the extra $15 million. “While
there’s going to be savings from
some of the completed projects,
other projects are at risk and I’m
concerned that that is going to be
felt at community level.”
The expected extra cost takes
the price of the project to $167.2
million, an increase of nearly
a third from its original $127.5
budget.

Guilty verdicts in ‘drown him’ case
• By Sophie Cornish
THE MOTHER of the victim in
the highly publicised Rolleston
“drown him” case said tears
were shed when her son’s
attackers were found guilty.
On Friday, Judge Stephen
O’Driscoll released his decision
after a two-day Youth Court
hearing earlier this month,
finding two 17-year-olds guilty
of assault with intent to injure.
They were 16 at the time of the
attack in November last year.

Judge O’Driscoll said the
charges had been proved beyond
reasonable doubt.
The victim’s mother said the
family was “pleased, excited,
relieved, all of the above. We’ve
had tears. It’s been good, a good
outcome.”
“It’s been stressful and hard,
but we have been tough, we’ve
had to cope,” she said.
Her son, 16, was confronted by
a group of youths in Tennyson
St, Rolleston, after the annual
fireworks event.

Stoush over chlorination
Dalziel
hits back
at CDHB
• By Georgia O’Connor-
Harding
MAYOR LIANNE Dalziel has
had a crack at the Canterbury
District Health Board over its
stance on the chlorine treatment
of water supplies.
She was responding to a statement
by Canterbury medical
officer of health Ramon Pink
supporting and encouraging the
use of chlorine as an additional
barrier to ensure the safety of
water supplies.
He said: “Canterbury DHB
supports and encourages the use
of chlorine by any water supplier
looking to protect and the drinking
water of their customers.”
But at a city council meeting
yesterday, Ms Dalziel said she
was “really annoyed” when she
read that.
“I just reject that statement out
of hand.”
The issue was raised during
DISAGREE: Mayor Lianne Dalziel said she is annoyed by
Canterbury medical officer of health Ramon Pink’s stance on
chlorination.
a water supply improvement
programme update from the city
council’s water supply improvements
manager Helen Beaumont
Ms Dalziel said the key to the
city’s water supplies is a multibarrier
approach to contamination
and not a “one size fits all”
for the entire country.
A multi-barrier approach
would include the protection
of source water, removal
chemical and microbiological
contaminants by physical means,
disinfection and protecting the
network from recontamination.
“That’s our position. Multibarrier
leading to secure safe water
that is good to drink. Good
to drink means absent chlorine,”
Ms Dalziel said.
City councillor Raf
Manji asked whether the city
council was going to be “offside”
with the CDHB.
“I thought that was a strong
sentence to say ‘encourages’ the
use,” he said.
Cr Manji asked if the CDHB
was going to take the view the
water supplies should be chlorinated
regardless or if they are saying
they think it is a good idea
but the supplies don’t have to be
chlorinated.
Ms Beaumont said the Havelock
North inquiry report has
made a clear recommendation
for the compulsory residual
disinfection of all drinking supplies.
“We have had quite a challenge
bringing it back to a risk
management approach and
demonstrating the safety of the
supply,” she said.
Ms Beaumont said the city
council has done a lot of work
with the Ministry of Health and
CDHB and thinks it has made
some process.
“I can’t give you an answer
on if they are going to make it a
prescriptive in the future, I don’t
think so,” she said.
The city council has upgraded
38 of 140 well heads, meaning 25
per cent of the drinking water is
currently chlorine free.
It will provide a timeframe for
the upgrading of the wellheads
– and dates for the removal of
chlorine in February.
All upgrade work will pause
over the holidays.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Heads cut
off seals
SIX HEADLESS fur seal pups
were found at Scenery Nook, a
remote but popular beach on the
south side of Banks Peninsula.
The 11-month-old seals were
discovered by a tourism operator,
floating in the tidal wash.
Department of Conservation
operations manager Andy
Thompson said there was no
evidence of the seals’ heads.
It appears the seals were killed
elsewhere before being potentially
dumped from a boat and
left to be found by visitors to the
scenic bay.
He said the killings were “cruel
and senseless”.
“Due to the disturbing, brutal
and violent nature of this crime
against defenseless seal pups, it
has been reported to the police,”
said Mr Thompson.
Fur seals are protected under
the Marine Mammals Protection
Act.
Three of the seals have since
been buried, the other three have
been sent to Massey University
for a necropsy.
“While the necropsy will
determine the exact cause of
death, we believe it’s incredibly
unlikely sharks would have bitten
the heads off six seals but left the
bodies untouched.”
Don’t leave it until
it’s too late to get your
home’s earthquake
repairs checked.

The crimes that shook
As the year draws
to a close, reporter
Sophie Cornish
looks back on the
major crimes in the
region
April
•Nicole Tuxford was strangled
and had her throat slashed in her
own home on April 7.
Her killer, a 54-year-old, who
has name suppression, pleaded
guilty to the murder of the
27-year-old in her Exeter St,
Merivale property.
He will be sentenced on
January 31 and will face trial in
May, to defend charges of sexual
violation of Miss Tuxford and
unlawfully taking her car.
Miss Tuxford was a life coach
and was helping the man, but he
wanted a relationship with her.
When the man found out
Miss Tuxford was already in
relationship with someone else,
he said it felt like a “kick in the
guts.”
Prior to the murder, the man
spent hours drinking in a bar
then attempted to drive to Miss
Tuxford’s house.
He was caught drink driving at
a checkpoint on Bealey Ave and
his level was 614mcg/l.
After being
processed, the man
took a taxi to Miss
Tuxford’s home.
He waited for her
all night until she
returned home after
staying elsewhere.
He confronted
Miss Tuxford about
the relationship, then
bound her before
killing her.
June
•After being missing for a
week, Oliver Johnston, 20, was
found dead on a Woodend
property on June 30.
Police said his body was found

after he had been seriously
assaulted between June 23 and
28. A friend of Mr Johnston’s,
Heath Morris, 18, was arrested
on July 1 and charged with his
murder. Morris’ parents had
called police after he admitted
there was a body in a
blanket in a field on
their Jelfs Rd lifestyle
block.
Police found the
blanket and signs
of a serious assault,
but it took two days
and intense specialist
searches to find the
body.
Mr Johnston was
a former St Andrew’s
College student.
Morris has been in custody
since his arrest and his trial date
is set for August 5.
His name suppression lapsed
and he was denied electronically
monitored bail.
July
•Steffan Pearce-Loe, 30, was
out walking his dogs on Gayhurst
Rd in Dallington in the early
hours of July 5 when he was hit
by a car and left with critical
injuries. The driver, a 56-year-old
woman, thought she had hit a
dog and kept driving.
Mr Pearce-Loe died from his
injuries in Christchurch Hospital
the following day.
Two days after the incident,
an “eagle-eyed” detective found
the vehicle involved, which had
damage consistent with the crash,
parked in a driveway several
kilometres from the scene.
Last week the woman was
charged with failing to stop to
ascertain injury after an accident.
She was granted name
suppression and entered no pleas
when she appeared in the district
court on Monday. She will next
appear on January 24.
Mr Pearce-Loe was engaged to
be married.
August
•An elderly couple were bashed,
threatened and robbed in their
own home in Papanui by Maera
Todd and Shantai Lawson.
John and Colleen McCammon
were attacked by Todd, 39 and
Lawson, 38, who demanded
money on August 13.
Mr McCammon, 83, had a
pillow held over his face to muffle
his screams and was threatened
with his own garden secateurs.
Mrs McCammon, 81, was
pushed backwards down her
front steps by Todd.
She landed on her back on their
concrete path, receiving bruising
and grazing.
A neighbour who had noticed
something wrong alerted police,
who were able to catch Todd and
Lawson on a nearby street, after
they fled from the St James Ave
home, stealing a cellphone, a
wallet and a watch.
Todd was jailed for seven years
and four months last month.
Lawson pleaded guilty to
the robbery charge and has
been remanded in custody for
sentencing in January.
Powerful impact statements
read by Mr and Mrs McCammon
at Todd’s sentencing said the
attack had “totally changed” their
lives.
“You have viciously and
violently changed our lives and
we will never forget it,” said Mr
McCammon.

• By Sophie Cornish
WHEN AMY Gianelly
walked along the road
holding her daughter,
crying and bleeding, she
couldn’t quite believe what
Puss Puss had done.
The Templeton motherof-two
was attacked by her
family’s two-year-old tabby
cat Puss Puss on December
10.
Puss Puss, who recently
had kittens, was spooked
after seeing a rottweiler
outside the house.
She then lunged at Kiara,
Miss Gianelly’s, two-yearold
daughter, biting and
scratching her.
“I knew she was p...d
off when she saw the dog,
she started growling and I
tried to shut the door but
she jumped over my leg .
. . It was like she was possessed;
I have never seen
a cat go like that. She was
protecting her babies.
“Then I pulled her off
Kiara and she jumped at
my face. I pulled her off me
and she kept jumping up
and attacking me, it happened
about five times. I
finally got away and locked
ourselves in the bedroom.”
“Blood was dripping
down my face, my house
looked like a crime scene.”
Miss Gianelly escaped
the house with Kiara and
they began walking to the
Templeton Medical Centre,
as Miss Gianelly doesn’t
drive.
A truck driver who was
going past saw the pair,
who were bleeding, and offered
to give them a ride.
Once at the medical
centre, they were rushed
to Christchurch Hospital,
where Miss Gianelly
received about 30 stitches
from a plastic surgeon.
Kiara’s scratches and bite
marks were superficial and
will heal on their own.
Miss Gianelly said
people she has told about
the attack have been “twominded”
about what to do
with Puss Puss.
“Some people are saying
put her down . . . but then
heaps of people are saying
it is a cat protecting her
babies, how can you fault
a cat for that? I’m in the
middle, but I am trying
to do what’s best for my
family. If I feel she is any
danger or threat, she will
be rehomed.”
Puss Puss’s kittens will
be rehomed soon and she
will be fixed.

Throughout 2018 a group of Year

as swimming coaches, earning
themselves not only valuable
qualifications but also 40 credits
towards their NCEA Level 3.
Towards the end of the year, these
senior students then coached our
Year 7 and 8 students, teaching
them to swim with 10 sessions
over two weeks; this is ako

The seniors demonstrated
huge care of the younger
students; whanaungatanga

END OF YEAR: Vittoria graduated from her baby sensory class and will start

Babyhood quickly
coming to an end
FAR OUT, it’s already
Christmas time and most
of the activities and things
to do around town for
babies are finishing up for
the year – at least all of the
ones Vittoria and I attend.
Luckily she’s ready to
graduate to more toddler
focused activities now,
because like 2018, Vittoria’s
babyhood is rapidly coming
to an end.
It’s sad and awesome at
the same time watching
her grow and become more
her own person and slowly,
slowly more independent.
Last week she had her
final baby sensory class,
they even put out a wee
graduation gown for
photos. That she starts a
new course called toddler
sense next year certainly
brings home the point.
It will be much better
suited to her I think, as

Merivale PostShops next
year.
The Papanui PostShop
at 37 Main North Rd is
set to close on February 1,
followed by the Merivale
facility at 183 Papanui Rd
in June.
A New Zealand Post
spokesperson said the

she’s so much more active
and keen on exploring the
world on her terms now
rather than sit back, watch
and let me do the heavy
lifting.
Except the literal “heavy”
lifting – she stills likes to be
picked up.
For a while, she’s seemed
like she’s been stuck in an
in between phase. I don’t
know if there’s any actual
term for it, but for the last
few weeks it’s seemed like
she was too big, too developed,
for a lot of the things
we did, especially since she
started walking.
She struggles out of
grip, just wanders off to
do something else or bolts
over to the other side of the
room to leave me feeling
a little silly doing the motions
to Jiggle Your Scarf
without a scarf or a baby.
And laughing as your
closures were the result of
a decline in the amount
of mail being sent and
received, with 63,000,000
fewer items nationally
being sent compared to the
last financial year.
New Zealand Post said it
plans to open new branches
in Papanui and Merivale
in the premises of local
businesses in the area, but it
did not know where or when
this would be.
daughter rushes off to pat
little babies like she does
the cat is possibly not appropriate.
Her charming
little smile seems to ward
off any concern though.
But often she still enjoys
such activities in the same
way as she did before.
It just comes down to
how she feels I guess –
“obviously” you say.
By the time the new
activities start I’d be pretty
confident that she will be
less interested in just being
quiet and calm and even
more interested in mischief
making and running
about.
We are going to have a
fun 2019.
I hope you have a very
merry Christmas with
family and friends – I’m
looking forward to sharing
what Vittoria’s first
Christmas was like (and
my first Christmas as a
parent).

“We are actively looking
for businesses to partner

frame on how long this

Year of ‘challenges’
MERRY
and ‘advances’
I CAN’T believe this year
is nearly over.
The months seem to
have flown by. It has been
a challenging year on
many fronts. However, we
have made real advances
as well.
If I look back on the
year, the one thing that
has really stood out in
terms of the positive
responses I’ve had from
people of all ages would
be the opening of our new
central city library, which
has proven already that
it is much more than a
library.
Our city libraries
are normally closed
on public holidays, so
when we asked if an
exception could be
made for Tūranga over
show weekend, as part
of our commitment to
revitalising the central city
and bringing people into
town, all the stops were
pulled out.
A big thank you to
council staff, who gave
up a day off to come
into work and make a
difference to our city.
Our Civic Awards
ceremony held last week
was another great occasion
to honour the individuals
and groups which have
made a significant
contribution to our city
and district.
I was reminded yet
again about the incredible
voluntary work that is
done every day in our city
and on the peninsula.
Often we don’t even
know who these local
heroes are until they are

nominated, because they
are so humble. Their
service is a true gift, which
is valued.
On that note, can I
wish all The Star readers
a very merry Christmas
and a happy new year. I
hope you keep yourself
and your family safe over
the holidays and return
in great shape for the year
ahead.

RABBIT poison
mysteriously placed at
Bexley Reserve has been
removed by the city
council.
Concerns were raised as
the poison pellets could
have been easily found by
dogs or children.
The poison was found
near the reserve’s dog
park.
City council community
parks manager Al Hardy
said it dispatched rangers
immediately after a complaint
was made to ensure
public safety and notified
police. He said the rabbit
pellets were placed by a
member of the public.
“It was found that
the poison was already
removed, however extra
ranger surveillance was
put in place to make sure
secondary poisoning did
not occur,” he said.
It was estimated the pellets
had been in the park
for about nine days.
DEADLY: Concern has been raised about rabbit
poison being placed in Bexley Reserve without
any signage to warn the public.
Under the city council’s
parks and reserves bylaw,
it is an enforceable offence
if a person introduces a
substance in a reserve that
may be injurious to animal
or plant life without written
permission from an
authorised officer.
That may be monetary
or imprisonment.
In the past year, the city
council has received five
complaints of poison in
public parks.
Nearby resident Paula
Bartlett-Pak said it was
concerned the rabbit
poison had been randomly
placed in the reserve by a
member of the public.
She said has been
tempted to take her dog
elsewhere.
“If I ended up having
to pay heaps of money
because my dog ate poison
or my dog died because he
got poisoned I would be
out for revenge,” she said.
Coastal-Burwood Community
Board member
Tim Baker said while he
understood why people
were dropping poison,
people needed to be doing
it in conjunction with the
city council.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Horror of discovering Scott’s body
CANTERBURY MUSEUM has
acquired two Antarctic diaries
revealing the horror of finding
Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s
body.
The diaries, purchased for
$278,000, were written by Scott’s
Norwegian skiing expert Tryggve
Gran.
One diary, written in
Norwegian, is an account of the
expedition from November 7,
1911, to February 25, 1912.
The other, in Gran’s imperfect
English, covers the period until
the expedition returned to
Lyttelton in February 1913.
In the second diary, Gran
describes his horror at finding
the frozen bodies of Scott,
Edward Wilson and Henry
“Birdie” Bowers on November 12,
1912, more than seven months
after they died returning from
the South Pole.
“I will never forget it so long I
live, a horrible nightmare could
not have shown more horror than
this,” Gran wrote.
“The frost had made the skin
yellow and transparent and I’ve
never seen anything worse in my
life. The Owner (the men’s name
for Scott) seems to have struggled
hard in the moment of death,
while the two others seem to have
gone off in a kind of sleep,” he

wrote.
Scott’s group had set out in
October 1911 to become the first
to reach the South Pole.
They made it to the pole on
January 17, 1912, but discovered
the Norwegian explorer Roald
Amundsen had beaten them
there by 34 days.
On their return journey they
were plagued by severe weather,
which slowed their progress and
caused their food and fuel to run
out.
Gran, who Scott had employed
to teach the other expedition
members to ski, was one of a
group of 11 who set out to find
the party, including Scott, after
they failed to return from their
journey to the pole.
The last entry in Scott’s own
journal, which Gran read after
discovering the bodies is dated
March 29, 1912. The museum
plans to scan and digitise the
English-language diary early
next year, when the diaries arrive
from London.
The digital version will be
available on the museum’s
website.

How to have a real
If you want to further your home-grown festive season, how about
decorating your home with the flowers and foliage of our beautiful
native flora? Veronica Armstrong suggest a few options
SO MANY of our Christmas
traditions come from overseas:
The pine or spruce Christmas
tree, the wreaths and garlands
of holly, ivy and mistletoe
that decorate our doors and
mantelpieces, and the red
poinsettia flowers in our living
rooms. But it really is possible
to have these traditional
decorations using New
Zealand’s unique native plants.
Living Christmas trees
In recent years there has
been a trend to using live
Christmas trees to save a real
tree being cut down. Natives fit
the bill here.
Plant a lovely pōhutukawa
(metrosideros excelsa) in a
large pot and bring it indoors
just before Christmas and
decorate it. The red flowers,
with their golden stamens, are
such an iconic summer sight
and better than any amount of
tinsel.
Pōhutukawa cultivars from
the Pacific Islands are naturally
smaller growing and more
suited to pots, such as the pretty
‘tahiti’ or ‘spring fire’, while
variegated forms like ‘tahitian
sunset’ will give you green and
yellow leaves and red flowers
– all the Christmas colours on
one plant.
If you want to go for gold try
‘aurea’, which has yellow flowers.
A dwarf form of the southern
rātā, metrosideros umbellata
‘firecracker’ would also be
perfect as a potted Christmas
tree. It has a compact growth
form and produces its deep red
flowers over November and
December.
Another option is kawaka
(libocedrus plumosa) – an
evergreen conifer with rich
green leaves that have a soft,
feathery feel. This native
survives well in a pot for several
years before needing to be
planted out, so can easily be
brought indoors for Christmas.
Being a conifer, kawaka
don’t have flowers like the
pōhutukawa but instead
has wonderfully decorative
cones.
Wreaths
First of all, if you want the
wreath to last longer, use a
soaked foam base instead of a
wooden one.
I have previously used tōtara
branches, which will remain
fresh for several days. For
a softer green try branches
of lemonwood (pittosporum
eugenioides). Bright red and
green can be provided by sprigs
of coprosma cultivars such as
‘evening glow’ or ‘sunset’, or use
libertia ixioides ‘taupo sunset’,
which has striped red, green
and yellow leaves. Pop in a few
pōhutukawa flowers, or flax
flowers for some red colour.
If you prefer a more delicate
look, use our pretty mānuka
(leptospermum scoparium)
flowers in either white or one of
the many red shades available
now. And what could be more
iconic than a wreath made from
harakeke? Phormium cultivars
come in a range of colours
now, with greens, yellows, reds
and burgundy just perfect for
Christmas.

Kiwi Christmas
If you grow any of these, cut
some colourful leaves and wrap
then tightly around a wooden
wreath, covering it completely.
New cabbage tree cultivars with
striped red and green leaves,
such as cordyline banksii ‘electric
star’, would also fit the bill.
Leave your wreath as is, or jazz
it up with some tōtara cones and
pōhutukawa or flax flowers and
you will soon have yourself
a stunning native wreath!
If you have native ferns
growing in your garden, you
can incorporate this foliage, too.
Fern fronds come in various
shades of green, and some
have silvery undersides (think
of our silver fern, or ponga
here), which would look very
attractive. For added texture in a wreath or garland, and,
pop in a few fiddleheads, with while you’re at it, check out its
their distinctive koru shape, and white, daisy-like flowers with
some (native) red flowers and their golden centres – more
there you have another beautiful Christmas colours.

DECORATIVE: Lemonwood (pittosporum eugenoides)
leaves can be used to make a wreath.
‘albus’ or ‘white heron’,
surrounded by a collar of white
veronicas (hebes) would look
lovely.
I made a wreath using garden
gleanings. I wrapped the ring
in cabbage tree (tī kōuka)
leaves, added a few tōtara
and lemonwood (pittosporum
eugenoides) leaves, sprigs of
veronica (hebe) and a few
white mānuka flowers and tied
it all up with green and white
ribbons. It really is that easy to
have a Kiwi Christmas.
Herbs made easy
Some of the easiest plants to grow are herbs and
flowers. Getting to know these garden staples is also a
great way to learn about the basics of gardening
Step 1: Mint
To grow it well and noninvasively,
always plant mint
in a big pot in quality media
(potting mix) with a few water
crystals to help keep the plant
moist (not waterlogged) and
make sure it gets a little shade
during the hottest part of the
day.
Step 2: Which herbs go
with mint?
Plant parsley and coriander
in the same pot as mint,
because these herbs love moist
soil too. Make sure you give
each plant plenty of room
to expand as they grow.
Step 3: Which herbs like
drier soil?
Thyme (common, pizza,
lemon), rosemary and fragrant
oregano, prefer being more dry
than moist and love soaking
in all day sun. They prefer less
nitrogen so they can develop
their fragrant oils.
Step 4: Basil the loner
Basil (common, purple, thai,
giant, tiny leafed) needs a little
more care to produce a good
harvest. Grow it in a big pot
that can be moved around to
catch the sunshine and remove
it from windy conditions. Do
not water basil plants directly
on the leaves or the soil as the
dampness may attract fungal
disease.
Step 5: Add coriander
It’s easy as long as you
plant the seeds just below the
surface and right where you
want them to grow in your
garden. To slow down the
‘bolting’ of coriander harvest
it often.
Step 6: Easy flower growing
To start an easy Christmas
flower garden, cultivate a
small space or garden edge
and turn some heat-treated
sheep pellets into the soil.
Then grab a mix of marigold
and cornflower seeds and
throw them across the garden.
Place a thin layer of soil on
top and water them in. Now
buy some flower seedlings
of your choice and place
them at regular (or irregular)
spaces throughout the
growing space. Make sure you
water the garden daily.

Christmas is
so much more
than tinsel
and trees
There seems to be more and more to do at
Christmas these days, from choosing between
traditional or up-to-the-minute decoration
colour schemes through to worrying about
having a ‘beach-ready body’ and buying
presents, food and bubbles.
With all the hype and pressure around the
season, it’s easy to forget that Christmas is
in fact a faith-based celebration of the birth
of Jesus Christ and a time to come together
in worship. Churches across the city are
recognising Christmas and what it means for
Christians in a number of ways, often with
music at the centre.
Most churches offer Carol Services
encouraging us all to raise our voices in
the seasonal songs we remember from our
childhood, as well as concerts, talks and
recitals.
It is a time when churches and faith-based
organisations remind us of how fortunate we
are and that it is possible to give gifts of hope
that will make a true difference at this time of
year. Christmas is, after all, about giving nor
receiving.
So why not take a moment away wrapping
the expensive electronics to reflect on the
true meaning of the season and call into your
nearest church – all are always welcome,
regardless of their faith, and especially so at
Christmas.

roasting dish, and drizzle with
the pineapple glaze. Arrange
pineapple pieces around the
ham and place in oven until light
golden colour (about 30min).
Drop the temperature of the
oven to 130 deg C and continue

ROAST LAMB LEG WITH POTATOES AND CARROTS
Ingredients
Whole lamb leg
600g jersey benne potatoes
4 carrots
2 parsnips
4 Tbsp fresh rosemary
3 cloves garlic
Zest and juice from one lemon
½ Tbsp olive oil
1 small bunch of mint
Sea salt to taste
Directions
Preheat the oven to 200 deg
C on bake. Peel the carrots and
parsnips. Chop the carrots,
parsnips, and potatoes into
big chunks. Place them in the
bottom of a roasting pan.
Finely chop the rosemary.
Grate the lemon zest. Press

Volvo’s XC40 gets
many accolades
• By Ross Kiddie
THE NEW Zealand
Motoring Writers’ Guild
Car of the Year award is
taken very seriously by
the members, and the
motoring industry in
general.
I’ve been involved in
the voting process since
1988, and have yet to see a
winner that I didn’t think
was worthy of the title.
For 2018, Volvo’s XC40
was a worthy finalist, and
as recent history has served
to prove, it didn’t win the
title, that went to Subaru’s
Forester, but the XC40 has
many other accolades to its
credit, including European
Car of the Year for 2018.
It doesn’t surprise
me that the XC40 was
nominated for our award,
it is all that you could want
from a sport utility vehicle,
and represents all of the
values Volvo incorporates
during the manufacturing
process.
Regular readers will
remember my evaluation
of the top-of-the-line
R-Design model in these
columns in July, I’ve now
been fortunate enough to
drive a model from the
other end of the scale, the
$59,900 two-wheel-drive
Momentum variant, and
for my money it is the pick
of the bunch.
Bear in mind, too, that
there is also a four-wheeldrive
mid-spec model
(Inscription) at $67,900,
while the R-Design (4WD)
sits at $72,900.
Putting these figures into
context, you can save a lot
of cash if you don’t need
four-wheel-drive and don’t
need all of the bells and
whistles that Volvo does so
well as a luxury car maker.
Saying that, the entrylevel
model doesn’t miss
out on much, it still gets
all of the safety gear that
you’d expect form Volvo,
along with a good level
of features that favour
comfort and convenience.
If you are like me and
don’t rate leather trim as
a priority, the textile seats
in the Momentum are
glorious. They have vinyltype
side panels with a soft
cloth insert, they feel good
to be in and don’t store
Motoring
Ross Kiddie
VOLVO XC40: Three-model range.
the cold on those frosty
Canterbury mornings.
There is perhaps one
other important feature
that needs to be addressed
in terms of description,
the Momentum model
has engine power outputs
lower than the R-Design.
It’s the same turbocharged
2-litre, four-cylinder power
plant, but instead of having
• Price – Volvo XC40 T4,
$59,990
• Dimensions – Length,
4425mm; width,
1863mm; height,
1652mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
front-wheeldrive,
1969cc, 140kW,
300Nm, eight-speed
automatic
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 8.4sec
• Fuel usage –
6.8l/100km
182kW and 350Nm, it
gets figures of 140kW and
300Nm.
Don’t be put off by that,
I drove the Momentum
for a week and there was
never a point when I felt
it needed more power.
Sure the R-Design is angry
and feisty when asked
to accelerate, but the
Momentum keeps pace
easily and is an absolute
joy to drive with relatively
quick movement.
It will reach 100km/h
from a standstill in 8.4sec
and will make 120km/h
from 80km/h in 5.5sec. For
the record, Volvo lists a
230km/h top speed for all
XC40 variants.
On the subject of figures,
Volvo claims a 6.8-litre per
100km (42mpg) combined
cycle fuel usage average
for the Momentum. That
sits well with the readout
on the evaluation car. It
was sitting constantly at
around 8l/100km (35mpg)
with a 6.2l/100km (45mpg)
instantaneous usage figure
at 100km/h, the engine well
in the leisure zone turning
over at just 1600rpm.
If you take note of the
points at where the power
figures are developed
– 1400rpm for torque
almost meeting the point
of peak power (4700rpm)
– then you can genuinely
believe there is a perfectly
acceptable power delivery.
The feel of turbo
boost is strong and drive
through an eight-speed
automatic transmission
is smooth and controlled.
There are also four drive
modes, from sport to
economy, which you can
utilise depending on each
journey.
The XC40 drives quietly
and smoothly, and that is
a pre-requisite of all cars
from the Volvo stable.
I took the test car on a
loop from Motukarara
to Hororata, there are
several tricky corners on
that route yet the XC40 is
comfortable in a corner
and handles with all of
the characteristics of the
modern-day SUV.
The XC40 is relatively
new to the New Zealand
market and joins a highprofile
SUV line-up from
the Volvo stable.
I can easily see why it
has been seen favourably
by the critics, and that
exposure trickles down to
the choices buyers make
when they are looking
for a purchase. If I was an
SUV buyer then the XC40
would certainly be near the
top of my list.

No need for fourth day
• By Steve Hepburn
RULES ARE rules but
there was simply no
consideration to stay
on the field and end
Canterbury’s Plunket
Shield game against Otago
on Sunday.
It took just 10min and 18
balls on Monday – the last
day of the four-day match
– at the University of
Otago Oval for Canterbury
to win their first Plunket
Shield game of the
summer.
Canterbury needed 15
runs to win the game in
their second innings and
when stumps were pulled
on Sunday night, they
were six runs short, having
lost the wicket of opener
Michael Davidson.
Commonsense would
suggest on a beautiful
Dunedin night the teams
would have just stayed out
for a few extra minutes
and played out the game as
there was only going to be
one result.
But it was ruled by the
officials the teams had
to leave the field. The
teams came back out on
SHORT STAY: Canterbury Batsman Ken McClure
shakes hands with Otago players following his
side’s win on Monday morning. ​
Monday and after a couple
of maidens by the Otago
bowlers, Canterbury
batsman Ken McClure hit
a four, and then a push
through square leg gained
the two runs needed for
victory.
Match referee Gary
Baxter said although
it would seem like
commonsense to have kept
playing on Sunday, the
rules had to be adhered to
and play had to end.
Canterbury had already
claimed the extra 30min
on Sunday to try to finish
the game but could not
quite seal the victory then.
Baxter said the playing
conditions had to be
followed as there were
The Star
other shield games being
played. If the game was
played out on Sunday
night and then it rained
yesterday, it could be
argued Canterbury won
by an unfair advantage,
while other teams stayed
within the rules. However,
Baxter said both teams
wanted to play on. He
may write something
about the incident in his
match report as there was
a monetary cost of going
into a fourth day. But as it
stood, he was comfortable
with the decision.
Canterbury will take
on Otago again at the
University of Otago Oval,
in a twenty20 on Sunday.

Well the time has finally arrived. Ten years ago
AmPro Tools Woodford Glen Speedway hosted
the New Zealand SuperStock Championship,
Speedway New Zealand’s most prestigious
National event to host and ten years on Woodford
Glen will again be hosting the biggest speedway
show of the year.
Twelve months ago at Auckland’s Waikaraka Park,
a second generation racer from Palmerston North stood atop the podium and was crowned
New Zealand SuperStock Champion. William Humphries was that driver will be doing his
utmost to defend his title in January at Woodford Glen but with over 90 other entrants from
all over New Zealand wanting the same silverware and the coveted ‘1NZ’ on their car, it will
be a very tough ask.
That’s not to say Humphries will not still be champion either, but the odds are certainly
stacked against that happening. Only three drivers in the history of this championship have
ever gone back to back since the championships inception back in 1965!
The championship will basically be decided thus; the entrants are divided into four equally
seeded groups, and after three heats the top six from each group will proceed directly to
the second night. Any tie on points that affects the number of cars transferring will be dealt
with by way of a 4-lap run-off. A pair of repechages will be raced to find the final two lucky
qualifiers.
Night two is simple, 26 cars and three races, each driver basically receiving a front-middleback
row grid at some stage of the evening. The driver that accumulates the most points
wins. See, I told you it was simple! But believe me, there will be a lot more that goes into it
between the first green flag and that final chequered, both on the track and in the pits.
On current form local hopes must rest with the likes of Asher Rees, Jayden Ward and of
course past New Zealand Champion Malcolm Ngatai who incidentally claimed the 1NZ
plate 10 years ago at home and is the only Woodford Glen driver to have ever won this
championship. Another local who would ordinarily be among the favourites to win is Jamie
Hamilton but he hasn’t been seen much at all this season. In fact at the time of writing he
had only raced one meeting and his usually reliable car didn’t fire a shot in the first race of
the night and wasn’t seen during the night again. He will have his work cut out to get on
pace with the others.
This is the ‘Big Show of 2019’ The Suck it Up Ltd New Zealand SuperStock Championship,
Friday and Saturday January 4th & 5th. Get your tickets now at www.iticket.co.nz

MAKING
HISTORY:
St Albans
became
the first
club to
win 10
premier
metro
cricket
one-day
titles.
Two finals, one result
St Albans win cricket title, sprinklers rain on Heathcote
• By Gordon Findlater
IT WAS a tale of two very
different matches in the metro
cricket one-day finals on Sunday.
At Hospital Corner, St Albans
claimed the premiership one-day
cup with a four-wicket win over
East Christchurch Shirley.
But at Heathcote Domain,
the championship one-day
final between Heathcote and
Merivale-Papanui was washed
out because the sprinkler system
turned on in the early hours of
Sunday.
The Saints win saw them create
history, becoming the first team
to win 10 premier one-day titles.
Bowling first, they restricted
East Christchurch Shirley to
140/9. Captain Ben Langrope,
James Tapper, Jack Harper
and Matt Holstein took two
wickets each for Saints. After
being introduced in the 23rd
• By Gordon Findlater
TE KURA Hagley Park has been
recognised as the country’s top
tennis club less than two years
after it was formed following a
merger.
The Te Kura and
Hagley Park clubs
merged last year with
discussions around
the move starting just
12 months earlier. Last
week it was named
club of the year at the
Tennis New Zealand
awards in Auckland.
Club president Tim
Preston believes the
success of completing
what was at times a
challenging merger played a big
part in their recognition. “It’s
effectively like a wedding ceremony.
You do the actual process
and then you figure out all the
hard stuff after. We were married
over, Holstein bowled 10 overs
on the trot, conceding just nine
runs to completely halt East
Christchurch Shirley.
After losing two early wickets
in their chase, Saints were steered
to victory by Tyler Lorton with
63 from 92 balls.
They will now host Mid-
Canterbury side Lauriston on
January 6, with the winner going
into the regional final a week
later against the winner of the
South Canterbury v Canterbury
Country match.
The winner will represent
Canterbury at April’s national
club championships in
Auckland.
Meanwhile, the non-event
at Heathcote Domain will be
rescheduled to an undetermined
date in January.
“The council went in and did
some work on Friday. They went
into our toby box and changed
at our club’s AGM, just over a
year ago, and we’ve been running
as a merged club since,” he said.
“Working out how to operate
practically has been a constant
voyage of discovery
since, really.”
Te Kura Hagley
Park beat out Wellington’s
Kilbirnie
to win the award.
Preston says
the club’s 22 lawn
tennis courts gives
it a point of difference.
“We’re the
only club in New
Zealand with a
viable quantity of
lawn courts in a
major centre that is
practical for high level competition
now,” said Preston.
“We run a lot of our junior
programmes on the lawn courts,
which they seem to enjoy and
love. Running around on the
the settings on our sprinklers. So
on Sunday morning, they went
on when everyone was tucked
up in bed,” said Heathcote club
captain David Stack.
“We tried for a few hours to get
the pitch up to scratch but it was
just way too wet – there were still
puddles out there.”
After being understandably
sombre about the situation, the
mood of the Heathcote and
Merivale-Papanui players was
lifted when they headed to the
Valley Inn Tavern for some very
premature post-match drinks at
noon.
“We wanted to do a boat race
at the pub to decide the title
but the Papanui Merivale guys
weren’t so keen,” said Heathcote
bowler Ben Cochrane.
Heathcote then spent the
afternoon playing backyard
cricket before returning to the
Valley Inn for dinner.
Young club scoops top tennis award
Tim Preston
lawn is more conducive to young
kids having fun than running
around on astroturf or hard
court surfaces.”
Preston is hopeful the unique
asset of lawn courts in Hagley
Park could lead to high profile
events at the club.
It also has two plexipave hard
courts and two astroturf courts
at the club’s Hagley Park site and
four plexipave courts at the Te
Kura site at Christchurch Boys’
High School.
The club is hopeful it will be
able to continue using the courts
at the Te Kura site. However, the
future of the arrangement with
the CBHS is uncertain. Te Kura
Hagley Park currently has 342
members.
“From our members’ point of
view they get the choice of where
they’d like to play and they’ll use
both facilities depending on what
suits them at the time and what
surface they’d like to play on.”
HOW HIGHLY should we rate
Canterbury United’s fourth
national women’s league
football title in the span of six
years?
The Pride’s 3-2 extra-time win
over the Northern Lights on
Sunday was the latest proof that
Canterbury is leading the way in
the women’s game.
Should we embrace this team
on the same level as our ever
dominant Crusaders? Or do we
play it down?
There’s a few factors to
consider when writing off an
accomplishment like the Pride’s.
We have many teams which
achieve on the national front,
but often can easily play down
the fact they’re either competing
in a minority sport and/or in
a sport we fail to compete in
globally.
This isn’t the case with the
Pride. They compete in what
is globally the biggest game,
and our national women’s team
are currently ranked 19th in
the world. With our under-17
team recently winning a bronze
medal at the FIFA under-17
women’s World Cup, the future
for the senior team looks bright.
There’s no denying the rise of
women’s sport. When Kendra
Cocksedge won the Kelvin R
Tremain Memorial Trophy for
the best player, male or female,
at the New Zealand Rugby
Awards last week, a message
was sent from those involved in
our biggest national game about
the regard in which the women’s
game is now held.
Our women footballers
should be very excited by this.
New Zealand has a good
One-eyed Cantab

Pride prove NZ
women’s football
is in good shape
track record of leading the way
when it comes to these types of
issues. So there’s every reason
to believe the profile of women’s
football – particularly in Europe
where the men’s game is treated
like a religion – is only going to
grow in leaps and bounds.
Close to home, there’s still
a hurdle we need to overcome
that can be simply summed up
with the “why are you watching
women’s football” remark one of
my flatmates made when entering
the lounge during Sunday’s
final.
One thing astounded me
when looking at the details
from Sunday’s final. Entry to
The Trusts Arena in Auckland
was free for the first hour of the
match. Why only the first hour?
Because it was followed by the
men’s national league game
between Waitakere United and
Hamilton Wanderers, which
cost $10 to enter. Is it wrong to
blatantly undersell a women’s final
against a men’s round-robin
match?
Yes, we should factor in the
entertainment value; there’s
no denying the men’s game
is played at a far higher pace.
However, surely we should
also factor in the relativity of
how competitive we are on the
global scale. Our men’s team
are ranked 103 in the world, our
women are 122.
With Canterbury setting
the example nationally, New
Zealand set to play in next year’s
FIFA women’s World Cup and
Australia confirming a bid to
host the tournament in 2023,
this is a hype train to jump on
board.
