Gunman’s terror route 

POLICE HAVE released the 

route the alleged mosque 

gunman took during his 

shooting spree on March 15, 

and a time line of how events 

unfolded. 

And Commissioner Mike 

Bush has also revealed how 

a bus obscured armed police 

from seeing the gunman as 

he left the Deans Ave mosque 

on route to his next target in 

Linwood. 

The map above shows the 

alleged gunman drove along 

Mandeville St, Riccarton, into 

Blenheim Rd before turning 

onto Deans Ave. 

After the Al Noor Mosque 

attack he drove along Deans 

Ave, turned right onto Harper 

Ave, carried on into Bealey 

Ave and then turned right 

onto Fitzgerald Ave, left onto 

Avonside Drive before turning 

onto Linwood Ave and arriving 

at the Linwood Islamic Centre 

– six minutes after the first 

attack.

A CANTERBURY University law 

student being investigated for a 

sexual assault has been allowed to 

go overseas on a study-related trip. 

Bu the university’s dean of 

law Ursula Cheer is refusing to

“I can’t comment 

about any 

of this because 

of confidentiality 

and privacy,” she 

told The Star 

yesterday. 

The Star has 

learned a female

It is understood it is no the

The Star sent a number of questions 

to Canterbury University 

yesterday but none would be answered. 

Said Canterbury University 

spokeswoman Margaret Agnew: 

“UC cannot respond to allegations 

that are before the police.” 

She referred the questions 

back to Dr Cheer. Her phone was 

turned off. 

Police would also not comment 

on the matter.

Bid to fly seaplanes for 

tourists at Lyttelton 

SEAPLANES COULD be 

heading for Lyttelton. 

Peninsula Air Ltd has applied 

to the Civil Aviation Authority 

to construct a waterdrome at the 

harbour which 

would provide 

seaplanes with 

an area to takeoff 

and land. 

The 1km long 

runway would 

be located 

Mark

and Quail 

Island. 

One of the company’s directors 

Mark Christensen said the 

seaplanes would be used to take 

people on scenic tours of the 

peninsula. 

“It is still very early days, but 

we are thinking about providing 

a service that would complement 

all the other tourist operations in 

the peninsula,” he said. 

Mr Christensen hoped the 

project would emulate the Sydney 

seaplanes experience. 

“In concept it is a similar operation 

to the Sydney one involving 

a seaplane that takes people on 

scenic flights, if you look at the

as well.” 

He was confident it would be a 

success. 

“The harbour is close to 

Christchurch so from a tourism 

perspective it is an ideal location, 

especially with the cruise ships 

set to return to Lyttelton in 

2020.” 

Mr Christensen said the service 

was likely to run between spring 

and autumn. 

Mr Christensen, who is a 

resource lawyer started the 

Rangiora-based company in July 

with commercial lawyer Grant 

Edmundson. 

The two do not have any experience 

in the seaplane industry 

but are working closely with

40,000 native trees for Cranford Basin 

Currently, the basin on the 

west side of Cranford St acts as a 

natural stormwater collector. 

Of the 125ha that the basin 

covers, 10ha will be used for the 

plantation of Kahikatea trees. 

An additional 25ha will be used 

for the additional plantation of 

native bush, but not as part of the 

current project. 

Trees for Canterbury 

volunteers have been collecting 

Kahikatea seed from Riccarton 

Bush and planting them in the 

basin in the lead up to the first 

significant plantation of 3500 

seeds next year. 

The following plantation of 

36,500 trees is planned for 2020. 

Manager Steve Bush said the 

wetlands are “perfect” for the 

plantation of Kahikatea. 

Mr Bush said he hopes schools 

and community members will 

jump on board for the plantation 

days. 

“It will be an ideal opportunity 

for people within the city limits 

to be involved a single planting 

that represents something so 

special,” said Mr Bush. 

Kahikatea was chosen for 

planting as they provide many 

ecological benefits and are 

expected to provide a hub for 

native bush bird around the city. 

Once trees have grown, Cranford 

Basin will be the largest 

area of native forest on the low 

Canterbury plains. 

A report outlining the 

project said that Cranford 

St is a “distinctive feature of 

Christchurch” and provides 

the last rural experience for 

motorists entering the city from 

the north. 

If the basin was not acquired 

for forestation, the land and soils 

would have continued to 

degrade.

Second man 

charged over 

shooting 

A SECOND man has been 

charged with the murder of 

King Cobras gang member Luke 

Riddell. 

The 28-year-old was shot and 

killed at Charring Cross in the 

Selwyn District in October. 

Daniel Gary French, 35 appeared 

in the district court yesterday 

and was charged with murder, 

along with Alistair Cochrane, 25. 

Crown prosecutor Will Taffs 

sought for an application for the 

two men’s murder charges to be 

heard at the same trial, planned 

for February next year. 

French was arrested on firearms 

charges a few days after the incident 

and has been held in custody 

since. He was charged as the 

principal offender and a party to 

the murder of Mr Riddell and has 

not yet made a plea. 

Cochrane denies the murder 

charge and will appear again in 

the High Court on May 2, for a 

call-over hearing. 

A courtroom brawl broke 

out at an earlier appearance for 

French, when gang members 

who were seated in the public 

gallery charged the dock where 

he was standing. Judge O’Driscoll 

remanded French in custody to 

appear again on May 10. 

Mr Riddell was shot at a 

property in Grange Rd. 

New library tops half million mark 

CHRISTCHURCH’S new public 

library Tūranga has had nearly 

550,000 visitors in the six months 

since it opened. 

Tūranga manager Chris Hay 

said residents have welcomed the 

library and it has already become 

a busy space in the heart of the 

city. 

“It almost feels like we’ve been 

open longer than six months 

because we’re so much a part of 

the landscape of the central city 

for many residents. People come 

here for different reasons but 

they all seem to find it a useful, 

enjoyable place to be. 

“Drawing people back into the 

central city was a key aim for this 

project and based on the first six 

months, Tūranga is achieving 

that goal. The community floor, 

Hapori, on level 1, has been particularly 

popular with families.” 

Foot traffic numbers show 

548,922 people explored the 

library in its first six months of 

operation, an average of 2754 

each day. The busiest day so far 

was on October 20, when 5254 

people checked out the new 

building. 

The library’s Discovery Wall 

on the ground floor which allows 

users to swipe through a virtual 

world of photos, videos and information, 

has been a popular 

attraction used for 13.9 million 

individual touches and to send 

10,000 postcards in the past six 


months. 

There have been more than 

238,000 items issued at Tūranga 

since it opened its doors. 

The $92 million five-level 

centre was described by Mayor 

Lianne Dalziel as marking the 

return of the city’s “cultural 

and community heart” when it 

opened on October 12. 

As well as housing more than 

180,000 items, Tūranga has a 

music studio, video editing suite, 

3D printer, robotics, exhibition 

spaces, meeting rooms, a café, 

Spark Place, the Innovation 

Zone, the TSB Space function 

room and a children’s play area. 

There are also study rooms, quiet 

spaces and areas for reading. 

The library is home to Māori, 

Pasifika and world languages 

collections as well as specialist 

staff to reflect and serve the 

needs of Christchurch’s diverse 

communities. A state-of-the art 

archives store, teaching space 

and research room ensure people 

have secure access to the library’s 

fragile and rare items. 

The former central library was 

demolished after the February 

22, 2011, earthquake. It was the 

largest and busiest library in the 

South Island with nearly one 

million visitors each year.

‘Aves Invasion’ will travel 

past Al Noor Mosque 


A NOTORIOUS boy racer event 

this weekend has been slammed 

by a city leader as disrespectful 

as it will go past the Al Noor 

Mosque in Deans Ave. 

Aves Invasion organiser Daniel 

Cossar planned to meet with a 

representative of the Al Noor 

Mosque late yesterday to ensure 

they know the event, 

which has previously 

been notorious for 

anti-social behaviour, 

means no harm and 

disrespect. 

Forty-two people lost 

their lives their during 

the terror attack on 

March 15. 

But Central Ward 

city councillor Deon Swiggs said 

holding the event tomorrow and 

Saturday was disrespectful. 

“They will be hooning around 

the four aves and I think it is a 

little bit disrespectful at this time, 

one month after we have had a 

terrorist attack, to be making a lot 

of noise in areas where there are 

people who have suffered a massive 

impact from the shooting.” 

Last year the event attracted 

thousands of people in cars 

driving along the four avenues 

bordering the central city and to 

isolated locations out of town, to 

race and do burnouts. 

Lane Todd 

Two of the same events in 

the past year caused tension 

between boy racers, police and 

the community, with almost 200 

infringement notices handed out 

at December’s event for speeding, 

burnouts and dangerous driving. 

Canterbury Metro Area Commander 

Superintendent Lane 

Todd said police are aware of the 

event and have planned an 

operation for it. 

“We are working to ensure 

the safety of all road 

users over that period . . . 

it will be disappointing if 

they don’t respect the local 

community,” he said. 

Muslim Association 

of Canterbury spokesman 

Tony Green said it’s first 

concern is that police 

already “have a lot on their 

plate.” 

“Our community is feeling vulnerable, 

that’s a fact. The police 

are stretched, but in that context, 

the streets are still available for 

everybody, it’s a public place. But 

it’s the context I guess.” 

Mr Green said he hopes that 

every individual is responsible for 

their actions. 

“If the organiser wants to 

speak to us then it suggests they 

are aware it is sensitive and 

that is a good starting point for 

conversation,” he said.

Surgeons spent 8800 minutes 


SIX DAYS of continuous surgery. 

That’s how long it would take 

if you added up the more than 

8800min spent in surgery at 

Christchurch Hospital, for the 

victims of the March 15 terror 

attack. 

Figures released this week by 

the Canterbury District Health 

Board show 

the extensive 

lengths the 

hospital was 

pushed to when 

dealing with the 

event. 

Never before 

David Meates 

has a hospital 

in New Zealand 

been required 

to manage 48 patients with gunshot 

wounds. 

Even internationally, a trauma 

event of this size would usually 

be spread across a number of 

healthcare centres, CDHB chief 

executive David Meates said. 

Every patient who was brought 

into the emergency department 

at the hospital following the attack 

survived, a feat Mr Meates 

described as “really remarkable.” 

The ED was open again to 

the general public by 6pm that 

evening – something that just 

“doesn’t happen” Mr Meates 

said. 

HARD WORK: Canterbury District Health Board chief 

executive David Meates says the Christchurch Hospital 

response to the March 15 terror attack was “remarkable” and 

released figures this week about the incident. 

“It is just incredibly extraordinary,” 

he said. 

Mr Meates said staff are feeling 

“immensely proud” of what they 

achieved. 

“The enormity of what they 

have done hasn’t quite sunk in 

. . . it is still a long journey ahead. 

The focus will be on the wellness 

of those in the health system, 

tomorrow, next week and the 

years to come.” 

THE RESPONSE 

•During and following 

the immediate response, 

planned surgery was 

deferred to enable timely 

management of acute 

work. 

•Theatres ran 

continuously. Surgeons 

of almost all specialities, 

anaesthetists and theatre 

staff were called in and 

worked the Friday night, 

Saturday and Sunday. 

•Twelve acute theatres 

operated all Friday night 

and throughout Saturday 

with seven acute theatres 

operating on Sunday. 

•As of April 1, there were 

75 theatre events. Patients 

from the mosque attacks 

have spent more than 

8800min in theatre. This 

is equivalent to more than 

six continuous days. 

•Consumables and 

clinical supplies were 

utilised at two to three 

times the normal rate. 

•The intensive care unit 

did not have sufficient 

capacity to take all of 

the patients needing its 

care. Some patients were 

moved to other wards 

and additional staff were 

allocated to support.

•As at April 1, patients have 

spent 2271 hours in the 

intensive care unit. 

•Since March 15, the CDHB 

diverted patients from other 

districts who would be likely 

to require intensive care. 

This includes diverting acute 

spinal work to Counties 

Manukau. 

•Lockdown of hospital 

facilities meant staff were 

unable to leave and 

patients unable to attend 

so ED patients were 

diverted to urgent care 

facilities, in particular, the 

24-Hour Surgery 

that brought in additional 

staff to manage the 

workload. 

•A social worker was 

allocated to each patient 

as they arrived in the ED. 

Specialist mental health

support the families and 

worked throughout the 

weekend. 

•On discharge, the 

patients are receiving a

permanent disability. 

•A decision was made to

providing CT scans of all 

deceased before the end 

of the weekend. This was 

undertaken to shorten 

the time to complete 

post-mortems so that the 

deceased could be returned 

to their families as quickly as 

possible. 

•Before the end of the 

weekend, Mana Ake and

•Mana Ake is a CDHB

across Canterbury. 

•During the first two 

weeks following the attack, 

it provided 75 drop-ins or

on site for 50 Canterbury 

schools. 

•It responded to 44 

individual children 

identified by schools as 

adversely impacted.

Animal lover in shock 

after attack on car 


ABUSIVE NOTES, deaththreats, 

imitation guns, and now 

an axe attack on her car. 

This is what mother-of-two 

Annie Mags has experienced 

since she became vegan five years 

ago. 

The social worker and animal 

rights activist has a number 

plate on her car which reads 

‘VEGANS,’ which she now plans 

to change. 

A police spokeswoman confirmed 

inquiries are on-going 

into the report of a car being 

damaged in the St Martins area, 

at 5.30am on April 11. 

Ms Mags’ neighbour saw the 

incident unfold from the second 

story of her house and yelled out 

to the offenders to stop. 

She said she heard a car idling 

for a long time before looking out 

of her window to see two men 

with axes hitting the car. 

She described the car as a black 

Nissan Skyline with a “noisy 

muffler and blue neon lights 

underneath.” 

Ms Mags believes the attack 

was targeted, as it’s not the 

only time her number plate has 

gained attention. She’s previously 

received “disgusting abuse” and 

death threats both online and 

in person. “I’m just sick of it. 

I’ve been threatened when I am 

driving around town because of 

my number plate. One person 

pointed at my number plate then 

made a hand movement of pointing 

a gun at their head. It was 

scary, I had my kids in the car,” 

she said. 

Another time, she has found a 

note left on her windscreen reading 

“you vegan piece of s**t, park 

somewhere else.” 

“How could someone have 

so much hatred for me for my 

compassion towards animals? 

Ultimately, I feel so sad. I am 

IN SHOCK: 

Annie Mags has

for sharing her 

views. Now, her 

car has been 

damaged because 

of her number 

plate ‘VEGANS’. 

saddened that someone hates me 

enough to do this to me and my 

children,” she said. 

Ms Mags has made a claim 

through her insurance company 

but her car is most likely going 

to be written off. She will have to 

pay $400 excess. 

In 2015, her animal activist Facebook 

page ‘Annie Mags’ in the 

spotlight when a post she made 

attracted thousands of shares and 

media coverage. The post of a 

photo of thin cattle being transported 

on a Cook Strait ferry 

sparked an investigation by the 

Ministry of Primary Industries. 

Historic church 

goes up for sale 

ST ANNE’S Church in St 

Martins is for sale. 

The Anglican Diocese of 

Christchurch is selling the 

church and vicarage, on the 

corner of Wilsons and Centaurus 

Rds as is where is. 

St Anne’s, part of the Opawa/St 

Martins Parish, is on the market 

to help to raise money for 

repair and restoration work to be 

done on the other neighbouring 

Anglican church in the parish, St 

Mark’s in Opawa. 

The two churches amalgamated 

in 2007 as part of a Diocesan 

rationalisation programme. 

Reverend Canon Ben Truman, 

vicar of the Parish of Opawa/ 

St Martins, said that the parishioners 

are sad but philosophical 

about relinquishing the site. 

“It’s a site that has been used 

for worship for almost 100 years. 

Services there began in the 1920s 

and the church there was built in 

the late 1940s. So, of course, we 

are sad. But we are very excited 

to begin work on repairing and 

renovating St Mark’s,” he said. 

“As part of that renovation, 

plans are under way to include 

a small chapel, which we will 

call the Chapel of St Anne’s, in 

recognition of our parish history 

and to keep a new expression of 

St Anne’s alive.” 

Rev Truman said it is also 

looking forward to welcoming 

the pupils of St Mark’s School 

back into their home church 

again. 

Investment broker Courtney 

Doig of Colliers International 

said St Anne’s church, while 

damaged, is safe to occupy and 

services are still being held there. 

“These lovely buildings are 

safe to occupy and would suit 

a variety of uses. Any buyer 

would have the ability to lease to 

provide holding income while 

planning their repair or redevelopment,” 

he said. The buildings 

are for sale by deadline private 

treaty, closing May 2.

Former soldier says he was raped 

A FORMER Territorial soldier 

claims he was gang raped at 

Burnham Military Camp in the 

mid-1970s. 

The shocking allegation is 

made by the now 65-year-old 

in a series of videos on male sex 

abuse, which will be launched in 

Christchurch tonight. 

Terry King, who was 21 at the 

time, says the gang rape was 

meted as “barrack justice.” 

He had dirt on his rifle when 

his platoon was inspected, and 

as a result, weekend leave for all 

was cancelled. 

He and other who appear in 

the video series, have gone public 

to raise awareness of male sexual 

abuse. 

Mr King said he was attacked 

the following night in the showers, 

by four or five men. Several 

others watched, he said. 

Another young soldier had endured 

similar treatment a week 

before. The soldier reported the 

rape, but soon after was “kicked 

out” of the military, Mr King 

said. On parade the next morning, 

Mr King’s facial injuries saw 

him sent to the medical officer. 

No one asked him how he 

got his injuries. Mr King never 

reported it at the time for fear 

he would get kicked out of the 

military. 

“You’ve got to remember, back 

then homosexual acts were illegal, 

and both people could be arrested,’ 

he says. Mr King served 

in the Territorials for 10 years. 

Last year Mr King finally decided 

to inform the New Zealand 

Defence Force about what happened. 

Mr King and a counsellor 

he had been seeing since having 

a mental breakdown in 2017 met 

with two representatives from 

the NZDF. 

Mr King and the NZDF differ 

over what came out of the meeting.

But a NZDF spokesman told 

The Star in its view there was an 

agreement with Mr King and his 

counsellor the NZDF would not 

take “further action.” 

The spokesman said if Mr 

King wanted a formal investigation, 

he would need to 

contact the police in the “first 

instance” due to jurisdiction 

issues. 

Mr King said he was angry 

with the response. He will not go

few nights before his wedding. 

At a meeting last year held at 

the Christchurch City Mission 

by the NZDF, Mr Clearwater 

stood up and shared his story 

for the first time. Afterwards, 

he spoke to two members of the 

NZDF about it in further detail. 

He never heard back from the 

NZDF and says it has “no idea” 

how to handle cases of historical 

sexual abuse. 

“I don’t think they have acknowledged 

or even understand 

the issues.” 

A NZDF spokesman said it is 

working on how it responds to 

historical sexual trauma cases. 

“We acknowledge that we still 

have a lot of work to do. The 

work into historic cases will take 

time and is only just starting.” 

Defence Minister Ron Mark 

said he expects the NZDF to 

treat “every survivor with respect 

and dignity.” 

He said NZDF has come a 

“long way” in how it deals with 

sexual trauma cases.

Homeowner’s creek flooding issues 

It’s cost $30,000 for an 

environmental impact 

report and legal fees 

and after four years 

Brent Gibson is no 

closer to resolving the 

issue of water flooding 

his backyard. Julia 

Evans reports 

BRENT GIBSON had the plans 

for his twilight years all set out. 

He and his wife Christine were 

going to build a unit on the back 

for their 1012m2 property at 

Blighs Rd, Papanui, and rent out 

the house in front they’ve been 

living in for the last 37 years. 

“My retirement dreams have 

been shattered,” the registered 

master builder said. 

For the last five years, about 

twice a year his section floods 

with 80cm of water and because 

of the flooding, the unit would 

have to be built on stilts. 

“It’s not always heavy rain, it’s 

more often when there’s sudden 

rain,” he said. 

Dudley Creek, which passes 

through his back garden, floods. 

“If it rains heavily, it probably 

gets 1m deep.” 

He has to clear out all the 

furniture from his garage and

isn’t allowed to visit for

fear of drowning. 

He said his section has become 

a “mini-Flockton Basin” but it’s 

only affecting one property. 

In 2015, the city council approved 

the Dudley Creek bypass, 

to help address the Flockton 

Basin issues in St Albans and 

Mairehau. But Mr Gibson’s 

flooding problem in Papanui is 

unresolved. 

He said the property behind his 

was raised with fill when it was 

built, which is contributing to the 

flooding issue. 

“This filling behind us is in 

breach of the resource consent 

granted for this development and 

is clearly documented,” he said. 

The other factor Mr Gibson 

said, is after the council built 

Blighs Rd up to “improve safety” 

for road users. He said water is 

diverted into his property and 

the flooding has become unbearable. 

But the city council disagrees. 

The city council regulatory 

compliance unit investigated his 

claims in 2015 and again recently, 

a city council spokesperson said. 

It determined that there was 

not any basis for enforcement 

action. 

“His property floods in extreme 

events because it is in the 

Dudley Creek floodplain. Filling 

on the neighbours’ property 

and widening of Dudley Creek 

has some effect on the storage 

capacity of the floodplain,” the 

spokesperson said. 

“Raising the road may displace 

water into that floodplain. An 

assessment by council staff in 

2015 was that this would have 

minimal effect.” 

It found the waterway floodplain 

issue, found throughout 

Christchurch, was made worse by 

the earthquake. 

Roadworks were carried out on 

Blighs Rd in the early 1990s and 

2007. 

“Recent survey levels show that 

the interpath channel and road 

drainage networks in Blighs Rd 

should function sufficiently . . . 

any overflows from the corner 

sump within the footpath will 

flow north back into Dudley 

Creek instead of going against 

the gradient into 197 Blighs Rd.”

Mr Gibson has been going 

back and forth with the council 

to have the issue fixed and has 

spent about $25,000 on two reports 

from Lowe Environmental 

Impact to prove how and why the 

property floods. 

That’s on top of the $5000 on 

legal fees to get advice from lawyer 

Pru Steven. 

“Before 2014, very few floods 

had occurred at 197 Blighs Rd 

and when it did flood, the water 

only slightly over topped the 

creek backs with little to no impact,” 

the Lowe report said. 

“There are many failures in 

the road design and stormwater 

system around 197 Blighs Rd. By 

changing the profile of the road 

in the two upgrades, the secondary 

flow paths have changed and 

been reduced in capacity.” 

It said there is nowhere for 

the water to go, except into Mr 

Gibson’s property. 

“The earthquake and the development 

of St Bathans Lane have 

also had an impact on the flood 

level and water storage, but we 

consider that neither is the major 

cause of the flooding.” 

While the report seems conclusive 

to what the cause of the issue 

is, Mr Gibson said he regrets 

spending the $30,000. 

“I thought it was fait accompli. 

But I was wrong,” he said. 

The city council spokesperson 

said it “respects” the report and 

“does not deny it” but has a different 

opinion on some matters. 

Mr Gibson said there is nothing 

he can do legally because the 

city council installed a bund at 

the entrance to the property. 

“They put an asphalt bund over 

the driveway . . . because they put 

the asphalt bund in, they said they 

may or may not do something in 

the future,” Mr Gibson said. 

The city council spokesperson 

said it is investigating possible

changes to the design of the bund. 

It is also completing a more 

complex stormwater flow assessment 

of the area within 18 

months and then another 12 

months to assess if any physical 

works are necessary. 

“There are no assurances that 

the result would be any physical 

works that address Dudley 

Creek floodplain management 

in this area. That depends on 

the outcome of the modelling, 

prioritisation of works and any 

competing demands on the 

council’s resources,” the spokesperson 

said. 

But Mr Gibson said he’s already 

waited five years and there 

are still no guarantee he will get 

the outcome he’s after. 

“And now they expect me to 

wait another two . . . I’m stuck in 

the middle and I’ve done nothing,” 

he said. 

“My retirement was reliant on 

building that unit. Now I can’t 

see me ever retiring,” he said.

Harper Ave 

car parks to go 

during winter 

• By Julia Evans 

PARKING ALONG Harper 

Ave will be lost to make way for 

winter sport. 

The need for buses to park 

along Hagley Park has seen 28 

spots lost along Harper Ave 

from Bealey Ave to the pedestrian 

crossing at Park Tce. 

“In addition to Deans Ave, 

bus companies are requesting 

a reserved area on Harper Ave 

to wait to be called to Deans 

Ave to pick up children,” a city 

council report said. 

The restrictions will apply between 

noon and 3pm Tuesday, 

Thursday and Friday between 

May and August. 

However, Central Ward city 

councillor Deon Swiggs said 

other options should have been 

considered. 

“I was really keen to talk to 

Alan Edge, who owns the land 

where the park and ride used 

to be and ask him if the buses 

could park there, or use the Red 

Bus depot on Fitzgerald and 

Moorhouse,” he said. 

“To me, it just seems like 

the easy answer, not the right 

answer.” 

The proposal was approved by 

the Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board at its last 

meeting.

Council on asbestos watch 


SOLAR PANELS will 

not be installed on public 

toilets after a number of 

thefts. 

The $10,000 solar panels 

on top of the toilets at 

Bexley Reserve have been 

stolen twice. 

City councillor Aaron 

Keown said they would 

not be installed at the new 

toilets at Lake Roto Kohatu 

or any toilets in future. 

Cr Keown said it was a 

shame as running power 

is “10 times the price” of 

installing panels. 

“It’s a completely 

different neighbourhood,” 

THE CITY council 

is ramping up the 

assessments of buildings to 

determine how many have 

asbestos. 

The city council owns 

more than 2000 buildings 

across Christchurch and 

Banks Peninsula, including 

toilet blocks, storage, 

community centres, libraries, 

sport and recreation 

centres and social housing. 

It plans to check nearly 

all of them over the next 

five years to determine 

how many may have asbestos 

containing material 

in them. 

Head of facilities, planning 

and property Bruce 

Rendall said if asbestos is 

present in a building, it is 

unlikely to pose any health 

risk. 

“But we need to know 

it is there so that we can 

begin to manage it and 

plan how we safely remove 

it,” he said. 

Mr Rendall said the 

buildings being checked 

are mostly older ones built 

before 1978, and ones that 

he said. 

Feedback on the proposed 

$1 million toilet 

block will be presented to 

the Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community 

Board before it is approved. 

The plans are for two 

separate toilet blocks, 

which would be installed at 

the popular recreation site 

on Sawyers Arms Rd. 

There are currently 

have not been recently 

checked through other 

programmes. 

“We will be keeping 

tenants of our buildings 

informed about the testing 

process and the results as 

they come through,’’ Mr 

Rendall says. 

“In the unlikely event 

that we do need to 

stop using a building 

because of the presence 

of asbestos, we will work 

with the tenants to find 

them suitable temporary 

facilities.’’

Yang Jiechi on the Belt and Road 

Initiative and Preparations for 

the Second Belt and Road Forum 

for International Cooperation 

On 17 November 2018, Chinese President Xi Jinping 

announced that the second Belt and Road Forum for 

International Cooperation (BRF) would be held in Beijing 

in April 2019. On 29 March 2019, Mr. Yang Jiechi, Member 

of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the 

Communist Party of China and Director of the Office of 

the Central Commission for Foreign Affairs, who oversees 

the preparations for the Forum, talked about progress in 

pursuing Belt and Road cooperation and preparations for 

the Forum. 

Q: What role has the BRI played in deepening 

international cooperation, promoting closer ties 

between countries, and boosting global growth? 

A: BRI is an important initiative for international 

cooperation proposed by President Xi to enhance 

both China’s development and its cooperation with 

global partners. So far, a total of 124 countries and 29 

international organizations have signed BRI cooperation 

documents with China. Most recently, during President 

Xi’s visit to Italy, the two countries signed an MOU on 

promoting BRI cooperation, giving a new impetus to this 

process. Meanwhile, the BRI vision has been included in 

documents of major international institutions including 

the United Nations, the G20, the Asia-Pacific Economic 

Cooperation and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. I 

would draw your attention to the positive role the BRI has 

played in the following three ways: 

First, BRI has opened a new area for international 

cooperation and boosted confidence in it. 

The world today is experiencing profound changes 

unseen in a century. Protectionism and unilateralism 

are rising, so are uncertainties and destabilizing factors. 

BRI is a significant move China has taken to fully open 

itself under the new conditions, and it embodies China’s 

commitment to sharing development opportunities and 

outcomes with more countries in the world. 

BRI is guided by the principle of consultation and 

cooperation for shared benefits. It represents an approach 

to international cooperation featuring mutual respect, 

justice, equity and cooperation for win-win outcomes. 

And it is a commitment to multilateralism and an open 

global economy. As such, the BRI will help move economic 

globalization toward greater openness, inclusiveness, 

balance and win-win outcomes. 

Second, the BRI has created new impetus and 

opportunities for global growth. 

BRI aims to address the fundamental issue of promoting 

development by enhancing all-round connectivity. It 

has helped countries involved to remove development 

bottlenecks and implement the UN 2030 Agenda for 

Sustainable Development. Latest studies by the World Bank 

and other international institutions suggest that the BRI 

cooperation will cut the costs of global trade by 1.1 to 2.2 

percent and those of trade along the China-Central Asia- 

West Asia Economic Corridor by 10.2 percent. 

Third, BRI provides a new platform and new 

opportunities for fostering closer ties between countries. 

By improving connectivity between countries, BRI 

cooperation has strengthened economic ties and 

people-to-people exchanges between them, thus binding 

them closer together with shared interests. BRI aims to 

replace estrangement with exchanges between different 

civilizations, replace clashes with mutual learning and 

replace a sense of superiority with coexistence; and it aims 

to boost mutual understanding, mutual respect and mutual 

trust among different countries. 

BRI is a new path of state-to-state relations based on 

dialogue rather than confrontation, partnership rather 

than alliance and on mutual learning and enrichment. It 

supports the multilateral trading system and embraces an 

economic globalization that is more open, inclusive and 

balanced so that its benefits can be shared by all. 

Q: What are the new opportunities for BRI 

cooperation under the new conditions? How will 

such cooperation be deepened and substantiated? We 

have also heard some different views or even doubts 

expressed against this initiative. What is your response 

to it? 

A: Through six years of hard work, BRI has laid its 

groundwork and entered the stage of all-round growth; 

it is bearing fruit and will create more opportunities for 

cooperation. 

Against the backdrop of mounting protectionism and 

unilateralism in the world, the BRI principle of consultation 

and cooperation for shared benefits has gained wide 

recognition. The opportunities created by BRI cooperation 

are widely appreciated in the global community. The 

opportunities come with the growing complementarity 

among the development strategies and plans of all BRI 

partners, from the solid gains achieved in BRI cooperation 

across the board, and from progress of bilateral, trilateral 

and multilateral cooperation. As such, a strong foundation 

has been laid for quality BRI cooperation. 

The opportunities come with the accelerated 

industrialization of a vast number of developing countries, 

a process which generates new demands in infrastructure 

connectivity and industrial investment, and promises huge 

potential for international cooperation. 

The opportunities also come with the transition of the 

Chinese economy toward quality development. As China 

opens its door wider to the world, more opportunities 

are being created for other countries to participate in BRI 

cooperation and enter the huge Chinese market. 

At the seminar marking the BRI’s fifth anniversary 

last August, President Xi Jinping highlighted the need to 

move BRI cooperation toward quality development. This 

is the goal we are striving to achieve. To this end, we will 

work vigorously to harness development opportunities, 

further enhance the complementarity of the development 

strategies of various parties, ensure that projects launched 

meet high quality standards, and further promote 

international cooperation. 

We have noticed that some people have expressed 

different views about the BRI, claiming that the Initiative 

is China’s geopolitical tool and could cause some countries 

to fall into a debt trap. Such views are less than objective 

or balanced. They are simply a misunderstanding, 

misrepresentation and even biased view of the BRI. 

We have stressed on many occasions that the BRI is an 

initiative for economic cooperation that supports common 

development. All parties involved are equal participants, 

they have all contributed to the Initiative and benefited 

from it. BRI is open, inclusive and transparent. It does not 

harbor any hidden geopolitical agenda, nor is it designed 

to form an exclusive circle or impose discriminatory trade 

terms on others. 

Decisions made under the BRI framework, whether 

project selection or investment and financing cooperation, 

are all based on full consultation among the parties and on 

the basis of conducting due risk assessment and investment 

feasibility study. 

China and other 27 countries have jointly adopted the 

Guiding Principles on Financing the Development of the 

Belt and Road, which highlights the need to ensure debt 

sustainability in project financing. In case our cooperation 

partners face difficulties in servicing debts, China will 

properly address this issue through friendly consultation, 

and will never press them for debt payment. As a matter 

of fact, no country has got trapped in a debt crisis since its 

participation in the BRI. Quite on the contrary, it is through 

participating in BRI cooperation that many countries have 

got out of the trap of “no development”. 

Q: China will hold the second BRF in April 2019. 

What is the theme of this Forum? What activities will 

be held? What outcomes does China expect from this 

year’s Forum? 

A: The BRF is the top-level platform for international 

cooperation under the BRI framework. In May 2017, the 

first BRF was successfully held in Beijing, which produced 

positive consensus on BRI cooperation and delivered 

fruitful outcomes. In response to the wishes of the 

participating parties, President Xi announced at the first 

Forum that China will hold the second BRF in 2019. 

Through consultation with all other parties, we have 

decided to hold the second BRF in Beijing in late April 

this year. President Xi has sent invitations to the leaders of 

relevant countries for participation in the second BRF. The 

theme of this year’s BRF is: Belt and Road Cooperation: 

Shaping a Brighter Shared Future, and the Forum events 

include the opening ceremony, a leaders’ roundtable, a 

high-level meeting, thematic forums, a CEO conference 

and other side events. 

Representatives from over 100 countries, including about 

40 leaders of foreign governments, have confirmed their 

attendance. As the host country, we will, together with other 

Forum parties, take stock of what has been achieved and 

draw a blueprint for future cooperation to further enrich 

BRI cooperation. 

We hope that the participating parties will further enrich 

the vision of advancing quality BRI cooperation. We hope 

the Forum will send a positive message of strengthening 

international economic cooperation, promoting global 

growth, and building an open global economy. We hope 

that the participating parties will set clear priorities for 

cooperation and make concrete progress toward quality 

cooperation. 

The second BRF is expected to produce a full range 

of outcomes, including both governmental cooperation 

agreements and initiatives, and concrete cooperation 

projects involving participation of the business sector. 

All these will be included in a list of deliverables and be 

released in due course. We are confident that the second 

BRF will produce even greater number of cooperation 

outcomes that are of still higher quality. 

We hope that the participating parties will strengthen 

cooperation mechanisms for quality BRI cooperation. We 

hope that the participating parties attending the Forum 

will build on successful practices and jointly develop a 

multi-tiered cooperation framework. 

First, we will improve bilateral cooperation mechanisms 

to strengthen the complementarity between the BRI 

and the development policies, plans and initiatives 

of all participating parties. Second, we will enhance 

trilateral cooperation and encourage cooperation among 

participating countries in third markets. Third, we will 

expand multilateral cooperation, with focus on ensuring 

the sound development of the BRF; and we will enhance 

cooperation with multilateral economic and financial 

institutions to explore multi-party cooperation in specific 

areas. 

We are convinced that with the concerted efforts of 

all the participating parties, the second BRF will deliver 

fruitful outcomes, create more driving forces for the 

economic growth of both participating countries and 

other countries concerned, provide more opportunities 

for international economic cooperation, and contribute 

more to the vision of a community with a shared future for 

mankind and a new type of international relations.

Back to childhood 

OVER THE weekend 

my mum and stepdad 

welcomed two 

new additions to their 

household. 

Two dogs, just in case 

you suddenly thought it 

was me and Vittoria. 

I was so excited to see 

how Bubs would react to 

seeing them, she’s not had 

a lot of experience with 

dogs. 

We went out to their 

house for a whānau dinner 

on Sunday night and she 

spent as much time as possible 

running around after 

them and laughing her 

head off. 

The poor wee things 

(they are small dogs), just 

new in their environment 

and suddenly they were 

being hounded (pun) by a 

loud mini-human. 

All involved loved seeing 

her with them, especially 

me. And it gave me a wee 

epiphany. 

Spending a lot of time 

with Vittoria has allowed 

me to enjoy some of the 

simple things that tend to 

get left behind in adulthood. 

Tell 25-year-old nonparent 

me that he would 

happily dance along to 

children’s music, in public, 

just to see a toddler smile 

HAPPY PLACE: Vittoria 

on a daddy/daughter 

trip to the playground. 

and he would probably 

have just snorted derisively 

into his stout. 

Now I do it all the time 

and love it. 

Same with playground 

equipment. I haven’t played 

on a swing for years, but 

with Vittoria I’m on there 

swinging beside her using 

skills I haven’t had reason 

to use in all that time. 

I even find myself enjoying 

toddler appropriate 

shows and cartoons again. 

I don’t have to watch The 

Wiggles when she does, but 

I do. I’ve got all the songs 

in my head and totally 

don’t actually mind. 

It’s nice to enjoy some 

VITTORIA 

& Matt 

news online a 

childish fun with my 

daughter and have a normal 

excuse to get back to 

things I can’t remember 

doing but obviously were 

happy non-memories (is 

that a thing?) 

I once walked in on a 

very drunk mate playing 

with some Transformers 

toys by himself on the floor 

on the wrong side of 21. 

Clearly his happy place, 

not as good an excuse as 

having a kid, sorry bro. 

Playing with toys on the 

floor is my bread and butter 

now and it’s completely 

normal. 

So I’d best make the most 

of my ticket to enjoy a 

second pseudo-childhood 

because it won’t be long 

before Vittoria grows out 

of it and tells me to grow 

up.

Taking opera to a wider audience 

• By Georgia O’Connor- 

Harding 

HAYDN RAWSTRON has led a 

distinguished musical career. 

When he was 19 he left 

Christchurch for England to be 

an Oxford University undergraduate 

studying musicology and 

specialising in opera. 

In 1977 he established his own 

agency in London. 

The agency, Haydn Rawstron 

Ltd, has helped build the worldwide 

careers of international 

opera singers and musicians 

including Dame Malvina Major, 

conductor William Southgate 

and Dame Gillian Weir. 

In 2009 when Rawstron sold 

his company, he was awarded the 

New Zealand Order of Merit for 

his cultural heritage work. 

But for Rawstron, the achievement 

he takes the greatest delight 

from is his invention of a new 

form of opera which was created 

as a knee-jerk reaction to the 

February 22, 2011, earthquake. 

Seven years ago, Rawstron 

along with his wife and international 

opera singer Dorothee 

Jansen created a new format of 

opera – narropera. 

Narropera is a narrated opera 

formed to make the art form of 

opera more accessible to wider 

audiences. 

“The purpose is narropera is to 

clarify the story of the opera in 

enough detail so the whole of the 

story behind the music comes 

alive,” Rawstron said. 

Each narropera consists of 

10 to 12 pieces of music carefully 

selected from the original opera, 

shortening the performance. 

“It is quite a journey uphill 

. . . after seven years we have 

already done 83 performances in 

a format nobody has heard of,” 

Rawstron said. 

Now, The Narropera Trio, 

made up of Rawstron, Jansen 

and French violinist Floriane 

Peycelon, will perform a 

narropera version of Mozart’s 

The Marriage of Figaro. 

The performance is part of the 

Lansdown Festival of Narropera, 

which is a by-product of the 

earthquake. 

The Marriage of Figaro, which 

will be performed this week first 

FORMAT: 

Floriane 

Peycelon, 

Haydn 

Rawstron 

and 

Dorothee 

Jansen will 

perform 

at the 

historical 

Lansdown 

House. 

premiered in 1786. 

But while researching and 

rearranging the performance, 

Rawstron discovered Mozart and 

his librettist made significant 

changes to the original version 

for the revival of the show in 

Vienna in 1789. 

Rawstron said these major 

changes remain relatively unknown 

today to singers, conductors 

and stage directors. 

The Narropera will 

present many of the musical 

changes made in their 85min 

presentation of The Marriage of 

Figaro. 

Rawstron said he would be 

surprised if the alterations had 

ever been performed in New 

Zealand before. 

The performance will be held 

at Lansdown House in Kennedys 

Bush, which is one of the most 

historic properties in Canterbury. 

Its first owner was William 

Guise Brittan, the first man to 

buy land from the Canterbury 

Association in the 1850 scheme. 

•The Marriage of Figaro 

will be performed at the 

Golden Room of Lansdown 

House, 7.30pm, Saturday; 

6pm, Monday, and

Tour of New Zealand 

ticked off bucket list 


CHRIS TODD has ticked 

the Tour of New Zealand 

off her bucket list. 

The former Christchurch 

Boys’ High School teacher 

has 27 tumours called “the 

fockers” and says she lives 

her life to the fullest “to 

spite them” – which is why 

she completed the tour. 

She didn’t cycle the full 

630km of the tour, she said 

she had to sit parts out 

because of the weather and 

her own health. 

But she said while 

“conquering the fockers” 

and making it over the 

Crown Range is her physical 

favourite, she was most 

proud of being raising 

the profile of the Unicorn 

Foundation – which supports 

people with her form 

of cancer. 

“I was proud to raise 

awareness, just to give other 

people the opportunity 

for treatment,” she said. 

Since her diagnosis, the 

active Sumner resident 

has been doing everything 

in her power to finish her 

bucket list, which has included 

several trips to cycle 

the Alpes d’Huez section of 

the Tour de France, as well 

as making it up Evans Pass 

and Sumner Rd. 

But while Miss Todd 

had been in remission, the 

cancer has come back and 

she hasn’t been able to eat 

properly and has been on 

an IV. 

“When I was lying on 

the IV drip, I thought what 

the hell am I doing. But I’m 

really pleased I did.”

she has left, then plans to

BROMLEY’S ODOUR issues 

could soon be solved through 

mobile phones. 

Environment Canterbury and 

the city council have been working 

together to investigate the 

ongoing issue of bad smells from 

industrial activity in the area. 

Now ECan has beta-tested an 

app, which would let residents 

and industries file and respond 

to odour complaints in real time. 

ECan manager zone delivery 

Paul Hulse said the public will 

be able to use the app to report 

how odour is impacting their 

environment and amenity. 

“They can advise us where 

they were when they smelt the 

odour, the intensity of the smell, 

what it smelt like and how long 

the odour lasted for. They can 

also see other reports of odour 

on a real-time map,” he said. 

But Mr Hulse said the project 

was in the very early stage. 

A prototype was piloted with 

previous complainants to help 

understand localised odour issues. 

“The app, while promising, 

needs further development and 

testing before a decision can be 

made as to if the solution will be 

implemented for full community 

use/rollout.” 

Bromley has long had an 

odour problem. 

The organics processing plant 

Living Earth on Metro Place, 

which deals with the contents of 

green bins, has been the source 

of most of the complaints. 

In 2016, a putrid stench 

wafted over the suburb plaguing 

residents and forcing Bromley 

School to close for two days, 

though the source was never 

determined. 

Mr Hulse said the community 

would be able to notify ECan 

quickly and easily if they are 

having issues which would increase 

its response time. 

“It will also assist us to rule 

in and rule out potential odour 

emitting sources by running 

the app notification against our 


App for bad smells 

BAD SMELL: Environment Canterbury is beta-testing an 

app which would help address ongoing odour issues in 

Bromley, such as from Living Earth. 

wind data and other public notifications.” 

Potential odour emitting 

industries in the area will also be 

able to use the app. 

“We have made contact with 

many businesses in the Bromley 

area to find out what potential 

odours they emit – we can use 

this information in conjunction 

with the app to rule in and rule 

out potential odour sources,” Mr 

Hulse said. 

“We are also inviting potential 

odour emitting industries to 

meetings to discuss what work 

we can do in conjunction with 

industry to improve odour in the 

area.” 

Tug Lyttelton’s licence 

too late for passenger 

cruises this season 

• By Louis Day 

TUG LYTTELTON has been 

given the all-clear to carry 

passengers. 

However, it has come too late 

for the 112-year-old vessel to hold 

a passenger cruise this season. 

The tug has been issued its 

certificate of survey, which is a 

subset of requirements for the 

passenger service licence. 

Tug Lyttelton Preservation 

Society head stoker Mike Bruce 

said the first passenger cruise 

in more than three years would 

happen in October at the start of 

next season. 

“I’m frustrated it took so long 

but at the same time absolutely 

thrilled that we can take her out 

and enjoy her. That’s what it is all 

about, getting out in the sea, the 

feeling of camaraderie you get 

on board with the crew and your 

mates,” he said. 

The passenger cruise was 

originally scheduled to take 

place in December but was 

pushed back to January and then 

February and then to next season 

due to delays with the passenger 

service licence. 

The preservation society is now 

struggling financially as it has not

DISAPPOINTMENT: Tug

licence has come too late for

this season. 

held a passenger cruise in more 

than three years. 

“We are under extreme 

pressure, we are going for some 

grants, some of the members are 

supporting us, but we have just 

got a bill for our public liability 

insurance for $6000, we just don’t 

have the money to pay for it.” 

The hull of the vessel also needs 

repainting, which is expected to 

cost about $20,000. 

Honour to speak at university graduation ceremony 

I WAS honoured to speak at 

the first Canterbury University 

graduation ceremony to be 

held at the Town Hall since the 

earthquakes. 

It was personally special 

for me as I did not attend my 

graduation 35 years ago. It 

remains one of my regrets, not 

for me, but for my parents, 

especially my mother. 

THey took such pleasure in 

their children’s achievements 

and rightly so, for they had built 

the foundations on what those 

achievements were built. I paid 

tribute to all the people who 

had played such a role in the 

graduate’s lives. 

The next event was the 

return of Dress for Success to 

the central city. Established 

in Christchurch in 2003, this 

has always been one of my 

Mayor 

Lianne Dalziel 

favourite charities. Dress for 

Success’ mission is to empower 

women to achieve economic 

independence by providing 

a network of support, 

professional attire and the 

development tools to help 

women thrive in work and in 

life. The name says it all. Dress 

for Success. I love the idea that 

we can pass on clothes to help 

women enter or re-enter the 

workforce. 

It’s one of those invisible 

barriers – not having the 

wherewithal to buy the kinds 

of clothes that can help you 

walk into an interview with 

confidence. But the clothes 

are just the beginning – 

the outward sign of the 

empowerment model at play. 

And finally, at the time 

of writing this column, I 

am looking forward to the 

reopening of An-Nur Child 

Care Centre – this is run by 

the Al Noor Charitable 

Trust. 

They want me to speak of 

their resilience and I shall do 

so, with admiration for how 

they have responded to these 

challenging times.

ROAST LEG OF LAMB 

WITH ROSEMARY AND 

GARLIC 

Ingredients 

2kg leg of lamb 

1 bulb garlic 

Large bunch rosemary 

Sea salt and black pepper 

2 carrots, roughly chopped 

3 white onions, quartered 

250ml dry white wine 

Olive oil 

For the mint sauce: 

1 Tbsp caster sugar 

3 Tbsp white wine vinegar 

6 sprigs mint, leaves only, finely 

chopped 

Directions 

Preheat the oven to 200 deg C. 

Use a small, sharp knife to make 

12-14 slits all over the lamb. Peel 

two garlic cloves and slice them 

into shards. Roughly squash the 

remaining garlic and put into the 

bottom of a large roasting tin. 

Push a few slivers of garlic and 

small sprigs of rosemary down 

into each slit in the lamb and 

season with plenty of salt and 

pepper. 

Put the carrots and onions 

into the roasting tin, drizzle with 

olive oil and season with salt and 

pepper. Lay the lamb on top and 

roast in the preheated oven for 

45min. 

For the mint sauce, mix 

together the sugar and vinegar 

until the sugar is dissolved. Add 

the mint and mix well. Season 

with salt and pepper and transfer 

to the fridge to steep. 

Remove the lamb from the 

oven, pour in the wine then 

return to the oven and roast for a 

further 45min. 

When cooked, remove the 

lamb from the oven and transfer 

to a board. Cover with foil and 

leave to rest for 15-20min. 

Carve the lamb into thin slices 

and serve with the mint sauce 

and roasted vegetables. 

LOW AND SLOW PORK 

LEG ROAST 

Ingredients 

3kg leg of pork 

2 Tbsp coriander seeds 

1 Tbsp white peppercorns 

6 fresh bay leaves 

Extra virgin olive oil 

6 onions 

½ bunch of fresh sage 

½ bunch of fresh rosemary 

30g plain flour 

1 big bunch of fresh flat-leaf 

parsley 

1-2 Tbsp mustard 

Directions 

Preheat the oven 250 deg C. 

Score the pork leg with a sharp 

knife in a zig-zag pattern. 

Bash the coriander seeds, 

peppercorns and two teaspoons 

of sea salt until fine in a pestle 

and mortar. Add the bay leaves 

and bash again, then muddle in 

a lug of oil to form a loose paste. 

Rub the paste all over the 

pork, making sure you get it into 

all the nooks and crannies. 

Peel and halve the onions, 

scatter into a large roasting tray 

and place the scored pork on 

top. Roast for 35-40min, or until 

you have a lovely crisp crackling, 

then turn the oven down to 170 

deg C. 

Slow-cook the leg for 3.5 

hours, or until the meat is easily 

pulled apart. 

When the time is up, pick and 

dress the sage and rosemary 

leaves with oil and scatter them 

over the pork. Pop it back into 

the oven and cook until the 

herbs are crispy. 

Remove the leg to board, 

cover with tin foil and allow to 

rest while you make the gravy. 

Place the roasting tray on the 

hob over medium heat, add the 

flour and stir it into the juices so 

you get a sticky paste. 

Slowly add a little water until 

you have a lovely rich sauce. 

Pour the contents of the tray 

into a jug or bowl and blitz to 

a sauce with a stick blender. 

Return to the pan, pick, finely 

chop and add the parsley, along 

with the mustard and stir well. 

Season to perfection. 

Serve the roast pork with the 

sauce.

GARDENING 


GARDENING ADVICE 

Today’s winning question came 

from Marty. Congratulations! 

What varieties of eating apple 

Q perform best using the 

espalier method of growing? 

What other fruit trees would 

perform, given that we are 

in coastal Canterbury and 

the plantings will be facing 

east, with full exposure to 

the Canterbury easterly. 

A 

Choose apple varieties that are spurbearing 

(fruit grows on small thorn-like 

shoots called spurs), like Granny Smith. 

Non-spur bearing varieties won’t produce 

as much fruit. If possible, choose an apple 

that is grafted onto EM9 rootstock. Although it’s dwarf 

rootstock, it’s exceptionally vigorous, producing fastgrowing 

laterals that are perfect for espaliering. Also 

consider planting an early season apple to extend 

your harvesting time like Cox’s Orange, Pacific Rose 

or Royal Gala. Other fruit trees to espalier are: 

• Pears A superb tree to espalier as they are spur 

bearing. Need two trees that pollinate each other 

• Plums Plant either self-fertilising varieties eg: 

Woolsons Early or Louisa or plant varieties that 

pollinate each other 

• Nashi Needs two different varieties for pollination 

• Persimmons Grow best in an espaliered form, try 

the Fuyu variety 

• Fig trees Very vigorous in growth, producing heavy 

crops after only a few years. Prune hard in 

autumn as they produce fruit on the new 

season’s growth 

For growing advice and information on products visit www.daltons.co.nz 

Be in to WIN a Daltons Luscious Lawn Care Pack !! 

A successful, healthy, green lawn takes regular maintenance and fertilising. Autumn or spring 

are the best times to sow a new lawn or tackle any lawn problems while the soil is warm. When 

mowing lawns, catch your clippings and remove them – add them to your compost bin in small 

and regular amounts, or work it into the existing soil in your flower or vegetable garden. 

We have a Daltons Premium Lawn care pack valued at over $80 to giveaway which 

contains Daltons Premium Lawn Fertiliser, Daltons Lawn Patching Gold, Daltons 

Premium Lawn Soil, and a pair of comfortable, versatile Red Back gardening gloves from 

Omni Products - www.omniproducts.co.nz. Everything you need to care for your lawn! 

$80 

PRIZE 

PACK! 

Choose a sunny, well-drained position with a fence, 

wall or strong wires attached to sturdy stakes to carry 

the weight of a mature espalier fruit tree. Leave room 

for the tree to grow up to three metres either side 

of the trunk. 

Select a tree (1-1.5 years) with a straight trunk 

and evenly spaced branches. Tie the first 

branches down horizontally, about 500- 

600mm above ground level. 

The next pair of branches should be 350- 

400mm above the lower branches for 

adequate air movement, full sun penetration 

and room for fruiting spurs to develop. 

Water new trees deeply and feed with 

Daltons Garden Time Fruit and Citrus 

Fertiliser in early spring and every six 

weeks till mid-December, recommencing late 

February till late April. 

For the first 1-2 years after planting, remove 

young fruit so the tree’s energy is focused on 

vegetative growth.

A burst of colour for winter 

• By Henri Ham 

EASTER IS here, and this year it 

also marks the middle of autumn. 

Although I still feel like I’m only 

just farewelling summer, it’s nice 

to be able to slacken off from my 

watering programme and think 

about my winter garden. 

Luckily the end of warmer 

weather doesn’t also mean the end 

of bright colourful flowers in the 

garden. Now’s the perfect time to 

inject new bursts of colour – and 

the easiest way is to plant some 

pansies. 

The brightly coloured overlapping 

petals of the pansy cheer up 

any garden spot. They’re cute, 

yet bold, come in a rainbow of 

colours and, best of all, are one of 

the easiest flowers to grow. 

Pansies flower right from autumn 

through spring, often when 

it feels like there’s not much colour 

happening in your garden. They’re 

extremely hardy – surviving frosts, 

wind and rain. Just make sure you 

get them in before it gets too cold, 

and you’ll see that they are truly a 

plant-and-forget flower. 

They make great garden beds, 

borders, and are perfect for pots. 

Pansies also look really attractive 

when planted in between larger 

plants. 

Giant pansies span up to 10cm 

across and grow slightly higher 

than your average pansies too – 

up to 20cm high. Mixed varieties 

are perfect for an array of pots, 

hanging baskets or as a multicoloured 

garden border. 

When you’ve got your seedlings, 

look for a spot in your 

garden that receives morning (or 

all day) sun, with good drainage. 

After our hot summer, dig 

in some compost and fertiliser to 

enrich the soil. 

To plant your seedlings, dig 

little holes, 3cm deep and around 

15cm apart. 

Once they’re flowering, pick 

them to encourage more blooms. 

The more you pick, the more 

will grow. Arrange your pansies 

in a vase with some interesting 

foliage, to bring bursts of colour 

into your house this winter. 

BRIGHT: Mixed varieties are perfect for a multi-coloured 

garden border. 

Use your outdoor living areas 

all year round

A world-class education and 

supportive all-girl learning 

environment 

Selwyn House School offers a world-class 

education with a talented teaching staff 

and small class sizes which are set within a 

future-focused, nurturing environment. An 

extensive range of educational, sporting and 

cultural opportunities are offered for girls in 

Years 1 - 8. 

A supportive all-girl learning environment 

encourages girls to take risks without fear of 

failure and develops their love of learning. 

They become confident, compassionate, articulate 

and determined young women who 

have the values, skills, and attributes needed 

to not only achieve their goals but to make a 

difference in their communities. Our teachers 

ensure girls are inspired and committed 

to learning as they develop their unique way 

of learning and achieving. The focus across 

Years 1 - 8 is on the growth of the developing 

girl encompassing intellectual, social, 

physical, emotional, and cultural needs. 

Selwyn House is committed to providing 

a continuum of international education. The 

combination of the International Baccalaureate 

Primary Years Programme (PYP) and 

our future-focused STEAM and Mechatronics 

curriculum ensures girls are equipped 

to face a continually changing world with 

confidence and enthusiasm. We focus on 

instilling strong foundations which can be 

successfully built upon. Core learning in 

reading, writing and mathematics is a priority. 

Specialist programmes in Art, Creative 

Writing, Leadership, Mechatronics, Music, 

Performing Arts, Physical Education, Science, 

Spanish and Swimming play key roles 

to further enhancing learning. 

Selwyn House provides each girl with 

a personalised learning experience. Each 

classroom and specialist teacher has the 

time to foster meaningful relationships with 

each student. Due to our comprehensive 

learning environment, our girls are highly 

skilled, stand out among their peers and 

are prepared for a successful transition to 

secondary school. 

Selwyn House’s nurturing environment is 

apparent in all aspects of the school. In our 

modern and safe, family-oriented Boarding 

House, girls are supported by dedicated staff 

and tutors. Girls from across New Zealand 

and internationally fondly call the Boarding 

House, their ‘home away from home’ and 

easily form a sisterhood with others. 

We believe in the strength of tradition, the 

promise of the future and the power of education. 

For more information on the benefits 

of Selwyn House School, scholarship 

information or to schedule your personal 

tour, please contact Charlotte Johnson 03

Choosing the right school 

for your Tamariki 

When choosing the right school for our 

tamariki we often go by the ‘feeling’ we 

have when we visit, as much as by the 

programmes that schools have on offer. 

The world demands fewer people who can 

do repetitive tasks and more people who 

can think creatively and critically. That’s 

why our vision, our aspiration, as a school 

is to be ‘A centre of creative excellence’ 

in everything that we do, whether visual 

arts or chemistry, volleyball or music, 

management or curriculum organisation. 

In doing this we haven’t forgotten the 

importance of the strong relationships 

that we build with all of our students, and 

the importance of individualising learning 

pathways so that we come as close as we 

can to meeting every individual student’s 

needs. Hornby High School’s feeling is 

one of positive relationships that support 

learning. Students often comment that we 

feel like whānau, like family. This all takes 

place within our amazing new facilities, 

some of the most modern in the country. 

These facilities are allowing us to develop 

a curriculum that caters for individual 

needs, that supports student passions, and 

helps our students to grow their heart for 

their community, while emphasising our 

values and promoting the ethos of kindness, 

of manaaki. We are also committed 

to engaging with whānau in any and 

every way we can. I personally invite you 

to come along and meet with our skilled 

staff, and the amazing young people who 

make Hornby High School such a wonderful 

place to be.

Papanui High School - Preparing 

students for their future 

“Our aim is simple... to provide the best education 

possible for every student” 

Giving students the opportunity to study 

from an innovative and broad curriculum is 

critical to providing each student a pathway 

that meets their individual needs. We allow for 

a greater range and flexibility in subject choice 

including the utilization of the secondary/ 

tertiary interface. This reinforces the philosophy 

underpinning personalised learning 

and is strongly supported by understanding 

our students’ interests, passions, talents, and 

ultimately their career aspirations. 

We understand that for effective learning to 

take place, it has to be implemented in such a 

way that students will be highly engaged. The 

school does this in a ‘forward thinking’ way 

by creating learning environments that allow 

our students to see value in what they do and 

achieve. Papanui “PRIDE” is what we represent 

and we demonstrate this by having young 

adults leave our school as confident learners 

who have gained the appropriate qualifications 

and social skills to become valued contributing 

members of society. 

All that we do here is reinforced by positive 

relationships, an ethos of caring, cultural 

responsiveness, inclusion, and high expectations 

– what we call “Our Full service Model”. 

The school highly values the connectedness of 

curricular and co-curricular learning. We have 

a philosophical understanding that the holistic 

development of the student is critical to their 

individual success. 

The school has worked hard to consolidate 

recent initiatives to ensure sustained and continuous 

improvement. You are invited to view 

our website, school charter, ERO report, and/ 

or contact the school for more information. 

We look forward to welcoming all prospective 

students and their families/whanau to visit 

our school. 

Middle School (Years 7-10) Proving Successful 

Our vision at Hillmorton High School is “With 

our communities, we nurture well-rounded 

and accomplished young people, prepared and 

ready for life”. 

Our Middle School culture of collaboration 

is seeing our vision become a reality where our 

students are quickly developing the skills and 

attitudes needed for success in the 21st century, 

with our “learners are at the centre”. 

With construction of our Middle School 

building about to start on our tennis courts, 

there will be no interruption to learning during 

the build. The building itself meets our brief of 

flexibility with single cell classrooms which can 

be opened into each other and onto an indoor 

street. We are excited about this new learning 

environment where students will be actively 

engaged in all aspects of their learning. 

Our Middle School is already proven in 

developing young people who are academically 

successful, they are leaders and they continue 

to love learning, all within a collaborative and 

highly safe, nurturing, warm environment. 

Christchurch Girls’ High School – 

Te Kura o Hine Waiora

a learning environment 

that values its 

rich tradition while 

embracing innovation 

and adapting 

to the modern 

world. It is a place 

where each girl is 

challenged to be a 

discerning thinker, 

who is comfortable with the concept of 

hard work and is open to possibility. 

All the programmes at Christchurch 

Girls’ High School are designed with 

girls in mind. We want our students to 

explore the possibilities that are on offer 

so that when they leave school they will 

have choices and can determine their own 

future and not have it predetermined by 

others. 

We prepare our students by asking them 

to embrace tradition, innovation and 

excellence and to appreciate the 

importance of each in shaping 

the future. The school values, 

developed by the students 

themselves, are an integral part 

of the education we offer: 

Compassion Aroha A 

Christchurch Girls’ High School

Christian Integrated Schools in 

Christchurch working together 

Working together for the good of students 

and families has been a successful 

recipe for Christian Integrated Schools in 

Christchurch. 

The Christian School Network has been 

in existence for over ten years. Aidanfield 

Christian School, Emmanuel Christian 

School, Hillview Christian School and 

Middleton Grange School decided in 

2005 that there was much to be gained 

by working together cooperatively. They 

recognised opportunities to share successful 

teaching practice, curriculum 

development initiatives across a wide 

spectrum of school operations as well as 

cooperatively strengthening their special 

Christian Character. They recognised that 

their ability to serve students and families 

was greatly enhanced by working together 

in a close and trusting relationship. 

The success of the network has seen 

other schools wanting to join in. Early 

in the piece Rangiora New Life School 

became part of the network. The schools

Formation is at the heart of the education 

Middleton Grange School provides – a 

whole of life formation. We see learning 

as holistic; it aims to instruct the mind, 

shape the heart and equip the hand. The 

root of formation is faith and so Middleton 

Grange not only provides a first rate 

general education but also biblically based 

teaching in the Christian faith. 

Formation of the mind is not primarily 

intellectual contemplation or conceptual 

mastery but a learning that nurtures 

wisdom and discernment. It is a learning 

that challenges the mind to think, discern 

and critique the ideas and theories pupils 

are exposed to from a Christian perspective. 

Middleton Grange’s learning culture 

allows the formation of the heart so that it 

joined together to support the genesis 

of Ashburton Christian School and also 

culminated in the start up of a brand new 

school in Rolleston in 2015. 

The schools have developed interlocking 

enrolment schools which assists in 

providing transparent pathways in Christian 

education from new entrant through 

to Year 13. 

A further strength has been a cooperative 

engagement with the Ministry of Education 

who have been pivotal in assisting 

the networks successful development. 

First rate general education 

and biblically based teaching 

shapes the character of each pupil to develop 

habits of righteousness, compassion 

and integrity. This formation of the mind 

and heart generates responsiveness. We 

want our pupils to engage in the society 

they live in, to be of benefit and blessing in 

a practical way. 

For Middleton Grange School, while our 

academic results are of the highest level, 

what is highly prized, is that our pupils 

exercise wisdom, serve the community 

and promote the well-being of others. It is 

about forming the pupil to be the person 

God created them to be. 

All of this is summed up in the school 

motto: Character, Excellence, Service for 

the Glory of God. 

We are known for 

our quality education as a compassionate community 

in which the God-given gifts and talents of pupils are nurtured and celebrated

All New for Avonside 

at Ōrua Paeroa 


Shirley Boys’ High 

School at Ōrua Paeroa 

A new school, a new location, and a new 

uniform! What a fabulous year for Avonside 

Girls’ High school as a new chapter in 

the school’s 90 plus year history is written 

this year. As Avonside Girls’ High School 

moves into its new home on Travis Road 

at the beginning of term 2, it will take with 

it its traditions, culture, history and values 

and its focus on working with every student 

to help her identify her strengths and 

develop her talents so that she can flourish 

in her future. 

Just over 1000 girls will move onto the 

new site in Travis Road and experience 

learning in New Zealand’s newest secondary 

school buildings. The campus which 

also includes a satellite unit of Ferndale 

School, is New Zealand’s first ever co-location 

of a state girls’ school and a state boys’ 

school sharing the same site and some 

key facilities and yet delivering teaching 

and learning within their own single-sex 

learning environments. 

One look inside the impressive entrance 

foyer reveals an exciting campus with 

fabulous facilities to enhance learning for 

students. 

In the front section of the school lie the 

shared facilities, boasting the reception 

and administrative centre for both schools, 

a spacious library, a cultural space, two 

theatres, a cafeteria with indoor and outdoor 

seating, and student kitchen facilities 

alongside a commercial kitchen for teaching 

senior 

Hospitality 

courses. 

The design 

of the school 

then separates 

into 

two separate 

schools each 

designed 

around its 

own courtyard. 


school is 

organised by 

learning areas, 

denoting the school’s support of subject 

discipline knowledge and skills, yet with 

adjacencies that provide opportunities for 

learning to be connected across learning 

areas for students. 

Avonside supports the development of 

the whole student with a strong ako programme 

delivered within a vertical form 

structure and wonderful opportunities for 

involvement beyond classroom learning 

time. The superb facilities in the new campus 

certainly enhance those opportunities 

for our students. 

Avonside Girls’ High School has embraced 

this opportunity to provide this 

exciting new brand of 21st century style 

single-sex education – the best of both 

worlds! 

Finally after 8 years of unstinting effort, 

Shirley Boys’ is in its new home, one that 

features state of the art facilities for teaching 

and learning in the 21st Century. 

The new campus features a Performing 

Arts Centre, full size all weather turf, 

sports fields, the largest school gymnasium 

in the city as well as traditional classrooms 

and modern flexible spaces designed to 

meet the needs of all of its 1250 young 

Shirley men. 

Shirley Boys’ High School, 

Kiwi Soul Global Vision 

At Shirley Boys’ High School, students 

are encouraged to participate in a vast array 

of sporting and cultural activities and 

in all of these areas they are expected to 

prepare themselves for action and success 

on the world 

stage, while 

also being 

encouraged 

to retain and 

strengthen 

their own 

cultural 

roots. 

Shirley 

Boys’ High 

School 

encourages 

students to 

strive for 

personal 

excellence. Learning occurs both inside 

and outside the classroom, reflecting the 

desire of the school to focus on teaching 

the whole person to ensure a lifelong 

desire for self-improvement. 

At Shirley Boys’ this is known 

as “BTB – Better than Before”. 

BTB leads to achievement, 

which can be as modest as getting 

fit for a sport or improving 

a test score or learning to sing 

in a choir. BTB can also be as 

spectacular as achieving a Premier 

New Zealand Academic 

Scholar Award (awarded to the 

Top 10 academic students in 

NZ).



Creating an optimum 

learning environment 

Cultural diversity, 

compassion and respect 

Riccarton High School believes 

in creating an optimum 

learning environment that 

embraces the concept of 

blended learning – an approach 

that combines effective 

styles of traditional teaching 

and learning with the best of 

what new technologies can 

provide. 

As principal Neil Haywood 

explains, “This environment 

enables all our students, including 

those with special learning needs 

and challenges, to fully and equally participate 

in a quality learning experience. It 

includes using our learning environments 

in flexible ways to meet the individual 

needs of our diverse range of students. 

“We have a clear vision of what we are 

aiming to achieve with our students – 

successful young people who are independent 

lifelong learners, and who are 

caring, responsible, involved and globally 

connected. 

“Our strength comes from a genuine 

belief in the Riccarton Way - Te Wairua o 

Pῡtaringamotu and its associated values 

of commitment, honesty, respect and excellence. 

This forms the basis of how our 

school community acts, thinks and relates 

to others and operates within a supportive 

and inclusive environment that recognises 

and celebrates diversity.” 

Student voice and community consultation 

play a vital part in the creation 

of learning pathways at Riccarton High 

School – pathways that also develop 

resiliency, collaboration, creativity and 

communication skills, which are essential 

elements in creating well-rounded young 

men and women, Mr Haywood says. 

“Our success in academic, sporting and 

cultural endeavours is a result of our desire 

to support and challenge our students 

to be the best they can be.” 

An open evening will be held on Thursday 

16 May from 5:00pm – 8:00pm. In a 

change from previous years, visitors will 

have the opportunity visit the different 

curriculum areas of the school over the 

course of the evening. They will be able to 

see small teams of RHS students involved 

in activities in each subject area and staff 

will be on hand for discussion and questions. 

All are welcome. 

At a recent public meeting in our school, 

a parent was able to talk about the reasons 

his family chose Mairehau High School for 

their child. He said that they had looked at 

several schools and specifically chose our 

school as their school of choice. 

They like the fact that we are a small 

school, we know their child by name. 

There is a strong sense of family, a strong 

sense of caring, and a strong sense of 

respect in the school. At the end of each 

school day the Principal, Deputy Principal 

and Assistant Principal can usually be 

found on gate duty giving words on encouragement 

to students as they leave for 

home. Building relationships and knowing 

the child are important key values 

to Mairehau High School. They are also 

essential key values in life. 

The teachers in our schoolhouse are 

committed, passionate, and dedicated. We 

are a small school with a caring community 

feel. Our teachers will get to know your 

child well and work with you as a parent 

to ensure positive and enriching learning 

experiences for your child. We pride ourselves 

on our innovative and caring staff, 

and we value individuality and difference. 

All teachers are focussed on making a 

positive difference for every student. Our 

teachers are simply a fantastic group of 

people. 

We value cultural diversity, compassion 

and respect for others which are all important 

themes for our school.

Outstanding record of academic, 

cultural and sporting success 

Burnside High School is pleased to invite members of 

the community to our Open Evening on Tuesday 14 

May 2019. 

We are well aware of the significance parents place 

on the transition from Primary or Intermediate to 

Secondary School and how important it is to make 

the right decision about this transition. 

Burnside High School is a large secondary school, 

a centre for academic excellence, with an outstanding 

record of academic, cultural and sporting success. 

The size of the school ensures that there is an exceptionally 

wide range of subjects and extra-curricular 

opportunities available. This provides flexibility for 

students to follow a pathway suited to their ability, 

interests and skills. 

The unique structure of the school retains all 

the benefits of a large school but with students in 

Divisions of approximately 700. This ensures that 

students are known on an individual basis and are 

supported and mentored by senior students, Form 

Teachers, Deans and Guidance Counsellors. This 

strong pastoral and guidance focus helps Burnside 

High School students strive to excel and develop into 

well rounded New Zealanders. 

Students achieve well above the level of similar 

schools in the attainment of NCEA certificates and 

endorsements and perform to the highest level in

Kia ora tātou. 

Welcome to Hagley’s 

Junior College! 

What’s important 

at Hagley, a school 

with a 160 year old 

history which makes 

it nearly as old as 

Christchurch itself? 

Our values matter. 

Those values are seen 

in the relationships 

our teachers build 

with each of our 

students. It’s how 

we treat our students 

that sets Hagley 

apart, valuing them as individuals – that is the Hagley way. What 

does that mean for our students? They feel that teachers are 

interested in them and care about their learning, they feel that 

they’re experiencing success – and much more. 

We’re often asked, what makes Hagley different? We have a 

culture like no other. 

No one wears a uniform and everyone’s on a first name basis. 

But that’s just for starters. Students come to Hagley because 

they’re treated with respect, accepted for who they are as unique 

individuals. They know it’s cool to be different! 

We love our students aiming high and doing well. We believe 

there is no single stereotype for success. At Hagley being 

successful comes in many shapes and forms. 

We want you to feel excited about coming here. We look 

forward to you being part of Hagley’s 2020 Junior College! 

Hagley Year 9 Open Night

Booking a spot with 

special needs kids 

• By Gordon Findlater 

FORMER TALL Black 

Ed Book has left the 

sunshine of Nelson 

where he is recognised as 

a Giants legend to help 

special needs kids in 

Christchurch. 

Book – a 210cm centre – 

and his family have moved 

south after he was offered 

a position at Allenvale 

School in Papanui as the 

lead teacher of physical 

education, health and 

education outside the 

classroom. Book has been 

working with special needs 

kids for 18 years and previously 

worked at Waimea 

College. 

“It’s something that I’ve 

always wanted to do ever 

since I was at high school. I 

remember one time walking 

into school late because 

I missed the bus, I was 

walking in with one of my 

friends and this door was 

open in the middle of the 

school. I heard all of this 

noise coming out of it and 

I was like ‘what’s that?’ and 

my friend told me that’s 

where the retards are,” said 

Book. 

I was at school for 18 

months and I never realised 

these kids existed in 

our school environment 

and it just totally blew 

me away . . . from there I 

always said once I get older 

I would like to be a special 

needs teacher.” 

The 48-year-old will also 

add to Christ’s College’s 

list of former international

players coaching at the 

school alongside Reuben 

Thorne (rugby) and Peter 

Fulton (cricket). He will 

coach Christ’s junior side 

and also assist Ben Sheat 

with the senior A side. 

His two sons Joshua 

and Nick – who are both 

talented up-and-coming 

basketballers – are attending 

Christ’s. They are 

also part of the Mainland 

Eagles academy which 

helps young players craft 

their game to a level which 

will help them gain United 

States’ college scholarships. 

“It’s a bonus for them 

being here because there’s 

more opportunities for 

them to develop as a player 

and to play against top 

competition,” said Book. 

He has worked with the 

programme during school 

holiday camps in the past, 

but is now coaching at 

their early morning sessions 

during the school 

term. 

“It’s a great programme 

here with the Eagles which 

is giving young players 

a chance to develop at 

an elite level. I’ve been 

involved with it since Mark 

[Dickel] got it up-andrunning. 

I thought it was 

a great opportunity to give 

back to the basketball community. 

Hopefully, I can 

offer something to players 

coming through,” he said. 

His daughter Aimee has 

just finished her first year 

of US college basketball 

playing for Cal State Fullerton 

where she averaged 

9.7 points per game and 

shot 44 three pointers at an 

impressive 43.2 per cent. 

Book moved to New 

Zealand in 1994 and 

played in the NBL until 

2007. He was the league’s 

scoring champion in 1996, 

and won an NBL championship 

with the Nelson 

Giants in his final season 

in 2007. 

He played a pivotal role 

in the Tall Blacks team 

which famously finished 

fourth at the world championships 

after taking the 

starting centre role after 

Sean Marks suffered an eye 

injury.



SPORT 35 

From scoring tries to school teacher 


JAMES KERR has gone from 

winning Super Rugby titles 

with the Crusaders to winning 

possum throwing and pig 

running competitions at a rural 

North Island primary school. 

Kerr played 26 games for the 

Crusaders between 1997 and 

1999 and scored six tries, including 

one of the franchises most 

iconic – stealing the ball and 

scoring the game-winning try 

against the Blues at Eden Park in 

the 1998 Super 12 final. For the 

past eight years Kerr has been 

a teacher at Te Ranga School 

midway between Tauranga and 

Rotorua. 

“It’s a rural school. They’re all 

real kids, they all hunt and play 

hard. If they cut themselves or 

whack themselves they just get 

on with business,” said Kerr. 

Kerr was born in Sydney. His 

father is Australian while his 

mother grew up near Gisborne. 

His early years were spent watching 

the Balmain Tigers and 

idolising the likes of Garry Jack 

and Paul Sironen. 

After moving to Gisborne at 

the start of his secondary school 

years Kerr went onto play first 

XV rugby for Gisborne Boys’ 

High School. In his last year of 

secondary school in 1994 he 

also helped Poverty Bay finish 

runner-up in the third division 

of the NPC. 

This resulted in Kerr becoming 

a sought after prospect which 

had his fielding phone calls from 

different provinces looking to 

nurture his talent. 

“I remember getting a phone 

call from Zinzan Brooke while I 

was at school asking what I was 

looking at doing next year. Even 

Shag [Steve Hansen] gave me a 

call. All those things were in operation 

and I had no idea really, 

I just thought it was awesome 

these guys were ringing me,” said 

Kerr. 

SPEEDSTER: James Kerr was a prominent figure on the 

Crusaders wing between 1997 and 1999. 

Kerr made the decision to join 

Auckland and the Blues in 1995. 

Within three weeks of arriving 

in Auckland he was in Bloemfontein 

playing Super 10. 

Following winning the Super 

12 title with the Blues in 1996 

Kerr moves to Christchurch to 

join the Crusaders to gain more 

game time with Jonah Lomu 

and Joeli Vidiri above him in the 

pecking order. 

“When I arrived we were the 

slowest and most unfit of the 

teams. Within three or four 

years all the stats had reversed,” 

he said. 

“We had a really good set of 

players. All of the players who 

were colts or under-19 guys that 

couldn’t get into the provincial 

unions anywhere else all came 

down to one area and they’re 

taken in. I think that’s why 

Auckland rugby blew out the 

back,” said Kerr. 

The run into the 1998 Super 

12 final is one of Kerr’s favourite 

memories with the team as they 

won two vital games in South 

Africa to finish the round-robin 

before the 36-32 semi-final win 

over the Sharks at Lancaster 

Park. All that was left to do was 

•Over the Super Rugby season, The Star will look back each week

past and discover where they are now 

RURAL MAN: Kerr during 

his school’s annual pig and 

possum hunt. 

for Kerr to score the game winning 

try he’s best remembered 

for. 

“We thought maybe at best we 

could level with Auckland. We 

just stuck in there, I remember 

with 20 minutes to go everyone 

was gone, but we just kept pushing 

and pushing. At the end we 

could hardly walk or even speak, 

it was like we were floating,” he 

Kerr. 

Kerr moved to the Chiefs in 

2000 and played for Marlborough 

in the NPC the same year. 

He also played for two years in 

Italy for L’Aquila Rugby before 

two seasons for Taranaki and a 

final season with Poverty Bay in 

2004. 

Following graduating from 

Waikato University, Kerr began 

his new career as a primary 

school teacher. 

“I’m not sure if I would have 

gone back and done it again 

knowing how much you get paid 

and what the actual workload is 

now, but it’s a good job and I’ve 

got two young boys as well so the 

hours are good,” he said. 

Kerr has been asked to coach 

club sides in recent years. However, 

with a three and five-yearold 

son he is waiting until the 

time is right to commit to a role. 

For now his mind is on the Te 

Ranga School’s biggest activity of 

the year coming up next term – 

the annual pig and possum hunt. 

The fundraiser sees locals hunt 

for pigs and possums over several 

days before a day of activities 

at the school. 

“When I first started we used 

real possums, but then an Auckland 

school did a similar thing and 

one person complained, so now we 

throw a fake one,” he said. 

“You’ve got to grab the tail and 

either spin like a discus and let it 

go at the right angle. 

Kerr has won two possum 

throwing titles. However, the 

former speedster is yet to claim a 

title in the pig run. 

“You chuck it over your back 

and run up and down a hill. Our 

principal has won a few times 

but he uses rugby boots which is 

an illegal system,” said Kerr. 

Will Jordan’s big chance for world stage 

COULD WILL Jordan be a 

World Cup bolter? 

The 21-year-old fullback’s 

introduction to Super Rugby has 

been nothing short of electrifying 

and after a breakout Mitre 10 

Cup campaign with Tasman last 

year has proven he has no issues 

with stepping up to the higher 

standard of the competition. 

When Jordan was introduced 

in the second half of the Crusaders 

43-17 win over the Highlanders 

and went on to score his 

eighth try in seven appearances 

this season he looked like he had 

an extra gear to any other player 

on the pitch. The try also tied 

him with Rieko Ioane from the 

Blues and Jack Maddocks from 

the Rebels as the competitions 

top try-scorer. 

He’s also tied for seventh in 

clean breaks this season – the 

most by any New Zealand fullback. 

Meanwhile, he’s 10th in the 

competition for metres carried. 

What he brings as a late 

replacement to the backline 

reminds me of what Beauden 

Barrett bought to the All Blacks 

at the 2015 Rugby World Cup 

when he was used as a lethal late 

replacement at fullback. 

With the news that Damian 

McKenzie will miss the 

upcoming World Cup due to a 

ruptured ACL suffered at the 

weekend Jordan makes sense for 

a straight swap for the role as an 

Energizer bunny to bring off the 

bench. Yes, he doesn’t have the 

first-five versatility of McKenzie. 

However, if the All Black 

One-eyed Cantab 

Gordon Findlater 

gordon.findlater@starmedia.kiwi 

selectors go with the option 

of starting Richie Mo’unga at 

first-five and Beauden Barrett at 

fullback the issue becomes null 

and void. 

Jordan’s case for All Black 

selection could have been taking 

place 12 months ago had it not 

been for a vertigo issue which 

plagued him of being able to be 

part of the Crusaders’ plans last 

year. However, he returned to 

play for Tasman in the Mitre 10 

Cup and went onto be named the 

union’s player of the year. 

He is the fourth top try-scorer 

in the Mitre 10 Cup with nine 

tries. He also finished the season 

third in metres carried, sixth 

in clean breaks and seventh in 

defenders beaten. 

Prior to his Tasman exploits 

Jordan had a successful 

secondary school career with 

Christchurch Boys’ High School. 

In his final year of school 

he scored 19 tries in 11 UC 

Championship games to finish 

as the competition’s leading tryscorer.

A CLASH of the big guns 

will take place tomorrow 

when the Linwood Keas 

and Hornby Panthers meet 

in a rematch of what has 

made up the last three 

Canterbury rugby league 

grand-finals. 

The Keas have taken 

grand-final honours on 

all three occasions and 

tomorrow will mark the 

first meeting of the two 

sides since the Keas lifted 

the Pat Smith Trophy on 

August 26. 

Both teams have opened 

the first two rounds of the 

competition with commanding 

wins. 

However, tomorrow will 

see a step up in intensity 

with top of the table bragging 

rights on the line. 

“The boys have talked 

about it, it’s what they look 

forward to - challenging 

themselves against the 

Panthers. I’m sure they’re 

the same. It’s a game that 

brings the best out of both 

teams,” said Linwood Keas 

coach Andrew Auimatagi.

Mercedes-Benz CLS 

a real head-turner 

I DOUBT I’ll ever know 

the real answer. Why, 

after many years, has 

Mercedes-Benz gone back 

to a straight six-cylinder 

engine in one of its 

models? 

It goes like this – for as 

long as I can remember 

its mainstream engines 

were straight-sixes, then in 

the late 90s the company 

reconfigured them to a 

V6-type that were highly 

successful, now the new 

CLS-Class arrives with an 

engine that has gone full 

circle – an inline six. 

I can work out the 

answer to a certain extent, 

and no-one knows better 

than me – most of the cars 

I have ever owned have 

had straight-six engines 

– they are renowned for 

their smoothness and 

refinement, and I guess 

that’s where Mercedes- 

Benz is coming from, the 

CLS450 is the epitome 

of sophistication and 

elegance. 

The CLS is classed as 

a coupe, to me it’s pretty 

much a coupe-type sedan 

with its four doors yet 

definite sloping rear which 

incorporates a deep underliftback 

boot. 

The evaluation car 

was painted black, and it 

captured attention from 

everyone who gazed at it, 

it’s a stunning looker and 

measures up in the area of 

performance. Mercedes- 

Benz label it a mild hybrid, 

there are engineering 

aspects which gather, 

store and deliver energy; 

however, for me I still see 

it as a traditional power 

plant, and that fabulous 

six-potter is amazing with 

its outputs and polish on 

delivery. 

Mercedes-Benz rates 

the turbocharged 3-litre 

unit at 270kW and 500Nm 

of torque, both outputs 

realised at usable points in 

the rev band – 5500rpm 

and 1600rpm respectively. 

Drive from the engine, 

and small electric motor, is 

channelled through a ninespeed 

automatic gearbox 

to all four wheels, yes the 

CLS in this form utilises 

the 4Matic system carried 

across many other models 

from this stable. 

Put simply, in the CLS’ 

case, the 4Matic system is 

a device to enhance grip 

levels on sealed surfaces, 

and that characterises the 

model, it is a slick open 

road charger with handling 

ability to address the 

power outputs. Of course, 

there are several drive 

modes, and some of those 

are structured so that the 

high country roads can 

be tackled with speed and 

dignity. 

Motoring 

Ross Kiddie 

MERCEDES-BENZ CLS450: Classed as a coupe 

but with the benefit of four doors. 

I took the test car on a 

short Port Hills loop and 

thoroughly enjoyed its ride 

and handling balance. 

The CLS is low (1.4m), 

as a consequence there is 

little body movement over 

the suspension, and if you 

add in the quality of the air 

suspension elements there 

is little doubt the CLS 

is made for those quick 

highway journeys. Huge 

low profile 20in Good 

Year Eagle tyres add to 

the equation, grip is high 

and performance barely 

equalled in a car of this 

type. 

• Price – Mercedes- 

Benz CLS450, 

$157,890 

• Dimensions – 

Length, 4988mm; 

width, 2069mm; 

height, 1435mm 

• Configuration 

– Six-cylinder, 

four-wheel-drive, 

2999cc, 270kW, 

500Nm, ninespeed 

automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 4.8sec 

• Fuel usage – 

7.6l/100km 

In terms of figures, the 

CLS 450 will accelerate 

to 100km/h in 4.8sec 

and will make a highway 

overtake in 3.8sec, it 

simply scorches through 

the acceleration process, 

and there’s no point where 

the engine stops giving, it 

is forceful, yet you would 

never know it is working 

hard, it simply delivers 

without sound. 

As honest as it is with 

its response, the engineers 

have also developed 

the driveline with fuel 

economy in mind. 

Mercedes-Benz claims 

an 8.7-litre per 100km 

(32mpg) combined cycle 

average. That sits well with 

the 9.4l/100km (30mpg) 

figure showing constantly 

on the dash display 

graphics. At 100km/h 

it is sipping fuel at just 

5l/100km (56mpg) with 

the engine turning over 

amazingly low at 1250rpm. 

All of these 

computations add up to 

a beautifully engineered 

vehicle, it also stands out 

for its dignity and all of 

those values you look to 

Mercedes-Benz for. The 

CLS 450 has a magnitude 

of safety kit, and that’s 

evident every time you 

drive it. There are almost 

autonomous-like devices 

which keep you out of 

trouble. 

There’s also a plethora 

of features for comfort 

and convenience, the CLS 

just feels so right to be 

in. While it is a big car 

at almost 5m, you don’t 

actually feel its size when 

you are driving it. 

As a driver it gives you 

all of the feel and 

satisfaction you would 

expect from a car which 

lists in standard form at 

$157,890. 

Although it may 

seem like a big outlay, I’d 

happily pay that amount 

for such a true luxury 

car, one which delivers so 

much in terms of overall 

performance. 

Every time now I get 

in the Kiddie-family 

Toyota I’m looking for the 

six-cylinder smoothness 

that also makes the CLS 

so desirable. It’s not quite 

there in the Toyota, but it 

is certainly an indication 

of what the inline-six can 

deliver.

Weatherproofing tips for 

your house design 

Insulation and double glazed 

windows are compulsory in 

new homes making them 

infinitely superior to their 

older counterparts for warmth 

yet more can be done to 

weatherproof a new home. 

Underfloor insulation 

Foam insulated expanded polystyrene 

panels under the concrete slab act as 

an insulating barrier, stopping cold 

coming through from under the 

house. 

Garages 

Insulating the garage and its door will 

cut down on a steady stream of cold air 

sneaking into the house. An insulated 

garage door can lift the temperature 

substantially even when the garage 

itself is not heated, making it a more 

pleasant place to spend time. Any 

home appliances kept in the garage 

will use less electricity as they will 

not have to work as hard and your car 

battery may last longer. 

Roof design 

Roof designs vary. The simplest way 

to achieve a weather tight house is 

to have a simple roof design with an 

overhanging surfeit. Architectural flat 

roofs will work though more care is 

needed to achieve weather tightness 

especially where there are hidden or 

back roof gutters. Having a roof with 

no overhang also requires more care 

with the design due to its complexity 

and potential for problems. Regular 

maintenance to clean out leaves and 

debris that gets caught in the roof will 

be advantageous in both cases. 

Porticos 

Taking the roof out beyond the house 

is ideal for providing a sheltered area 

for spending time outdoors when the 

weather is inclement. 

Snow straps or guttering protection 

Wherever snow is a likely part of 

winter, installation of snow straps is 

a good idea. These prevent damage 

to guttering from the weight of snow 

as it slides off the roof. Alternatively, 

an expanded steel mesh product such 

as Gutter Guard could be fitted. This 

has the added benefit of preventing 

Oamaru 

Extending the roof beyond the 

house creates a sheltered area. 

spouting blockages from leaf and 

other debris. 

Capitalise on the sun 

Maximise the sun’s free energy with 

plenty of windows, especially on the 

north side of the house. 

Outdoor areas 

When choosing a house design, 

consider how it will sit on the section 

and whether it offers potential to catch 

sun inside the home and for sunny 

sheltered outdoor areas away from 

prevailing winds. 

Windows and doors 

Upgrade on the minimum standard for 

double glazing with thermally broken 

joinery and low-emissivity argon gas 

filled windows and doors, increasing 

insulation effectiveness. 

Energy efficient heating 

Explore heating options, selecting 

what will work best given the size of 

home and family needs. Heat pumps 

are an efficient form of heating with 

two cassette and energy saving options 

available while heat transfer systems 

are great if there is a log burner. 

Low-E argon gas filled double 

glazing increases insulation.
