Ed is back 

in the 

boat after 

cancer 

scare 

• By Jacob Page 

SIX MONTHS ago, Ed Lopas’ 

promising rowing career looked 

potentially sunk. 

The 16-year-old was diagnosed 

with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a form 

of blood cancer, in July last year 

which came as a shock. 

“I just thought I was a little sick,” 

Ed said. “I wasn’t expecting it to be 

as serious as it was.” 

After five months of successful 

chemotherapy, Ed was cleared 

to start physical activity again 

and late last week he joined his 

Christchurch Boys’ High School 

teammates at a rowing camp at 

Lake Hayes in Central Otago 

to prepare for a busy season 

ahead. 

The big goal is representing his 

school at the national Maadi Cup 

regatta at Lake Ruataniwha, in 

Twizel, in March. 

“I’d lost a lot of muscle over that 

time but to be this close to racing is 

a great feeling.’’ 

The rowing team will try to 

break a world record in Ed’s name 

early next month to show their 

support.

A NEW digital display captures 

the heritage of Woolston and 

other parts of Canterbury. 

The display called Canterbury 

Stories, which can be viewed 

online includes rare images 

and previously unpublished 

community and personal records. 

Some of the images within it are 

taken from historic editions of 

The Star. 

The images and written 

material within the display focus 

on individual areas such as 

Woolston, which was the location 

of last year’s documentary 

project completed by Canterbury 

University School of Fine Arts 

students in collaboration with the 

city’s libraries. 

Canterbury Stories shares 

online collections from 

multiple Christchurch libraries’ 

sources, including archives, 

publications, photographs and 

content contributed by the 

community.

Skate park rejuvenation 

plan open for feedback 

DESIGNS: Rich Landscapes has created a concept plan for the St Albans site that includes 

several beginner street-style features. 

SKATERS AND residents can get 

on board with the rejuvenation of 

St Albans skate park. 

A proposed plan for the area, 

which aims to accommodate 

beginners while continuing to 

cater to the more experienced 

skaters, is open for feedback until 

February 17. 

People can share their views 

in person with city council staff 

at the St Albans Skate Jam on 

Saturday from noon to 3pm or 

submit comments online. 

City council head of parks Andrew 

Rutledge said the proposed 

design opens up the skate park 

to a greater range of skill levels – 

and users. 

“We want to ensure that the 

St Albans skate park is a place 

for everyone – a true hub for 

the local skate community,” Mr 

Rutledge said. 

“The proposed extension 

enhances the park, providing improved 

facilities for urban sport 

enthusiasts that complement the 

revitalisation of the wider area. 

“By making these changes, the 

skate area can be transformed 

into an accessible all-ages facility 

that still remains an actionpacked 

site.” 

Rich Landscapes, a business 

which specialises in skate park 

design, has created a concept 

plan for the St Albans site that 

includes several beginner streetstyle 

features. 

The proposed new area features 

roll over bumps, a quarter 

pipe with a deck and a small 

200-millimetre platform ramp 

for those skaters starting out in 

the sport. 

The plan will also appeal to 

experienced riders, with the addition 

of a hipped end off the quarter 

pipe and an extended rollover 

finger to the two mini ramps. 

Under the proposed changes, 

the skate area will almost double 

– expanding from 350 sq m to 

nearly 700 sq m. 

Among the proposed changes 

are the double rollover bumps, 

new balustrades, the steel and 

concrete-edged platform ramp, 

an umbrella shade sail and timber 

seating. 

The new design delivers a 

smooth transition between the 

present flow features and the 

street-style extension. 

Any feedback will help inform 

a final decision on the proposed 

plan by the Papanui-Innes Community 

Board.

Bin checks 

to improve 

recycling 

THIS WEEK a city council 

team will begin spot checking 

the contents of yellow wheelie 

bins, in a bid to improve people’s 

understanding of what can be put 

out for recycling. 

Up to 7500 bins across Christchurch 

and Banks Peninsula will be 

visually inspected each week by the 

four-strong team, who will work 

in pairs checking the contents of 

recycling bins put out for kerbside 

collection. 

“The team will be lifting the 

lids of the yellow wheelie bins and 

having a quick look to check the 

quality of the recycling,’’ says city 

council solid waste manager Ross 

Trotter. 

“A gold sticker will be placed 

on bins that have the right stuff in 

them. Where the team finds incorrect 

items in the bin, they will leave 

educational information in the 

property’s mailbox which includes 

tips for recycling correctly. 

“If they find a bin that is heavily 

contaminated with non-recyclable 

materials, then that bin will tagged 

for contamination and removed 

from the collection round for the 

day, with educational information 

provided so that residents 

understand why it has not been 

emptied,’’ Mr Trotter said.

Plan for bus to take home 

Saturday night revellers 

• By Jess Gibson 

A NEW BUS service is being 

planned to get party-goers home 

from the central city along Ferry 

Rd to Sumner. 

Bentley Transport and Christchurch 

Shuttles and Tours are looking 

to start a six-month 

trial, running a service 

which will be called the 

Midnight Express. 

It would leave from 

Victoria St, near Carlton 

Bar and Eatery, at 1.15am, 

2.15am and 3.15am on 

Sundays, stopping at 

popular nightspots such as 

Hereford St before heading 

to Sumner. 

The fare, which will cost up to 

$10, would follow the same route 

as Metro’s Purple Line and drop 

people along the way. 

Midnight Express Sumner 

service co-ordinator Roe van der 

Merwe said the bus would go off 

route, within reason, once it gets 

to the area to drop people closer to 

their door. 

Mr van der Merwe said the 

companies are hoping to get 

approval to run the trial from 

Environment Canterbury and the 

city council in the next few weeks. 

“There is potentially the need 

for a cheaper service. If people are 

travelling in a group, it’s easier 

than having to get two taxis as the 

cost would double. It’s also not 

something you have to book, it’s a 

scheduled service.” 

Bentley Transport has two other 

Midnight Express lines running 

from the central city to 

Rolleston and Rangiora 

which Mr van der Merwe 

said have seen a “really 

good response.” 

He said the decision 

to run the bus out to 

Sumner was based on the 

population of the area 

and because a similar 

service was provided to 

the area prior to the earthquakes. 

Sumner resident Jess Wright, 21, 

said she would definitely use the 

bus if it became an option. 

Miss Wright would usually pay 

between $40 and $50 for an Uber 

or up to $80 for a taxi to get home 

after a Saturday night out. 

“I think the bus is such a good 

idea,” she said. 

Sumner Community Residents’ 

Association co-ordinator Charlie 

Hudson said she loves the idea of 

having another form of connectivity 

with the city. 

“At this point, no concerns 

spring to mind.”

Rowing with Ed more than a record attempt 

GOOD CAUSE: Christchurch Boys’ High School rowing captain Harry Woelders on the erg which will be used during the world 

record attempt. Right – The Lopas family (clockwise from left) – Angus, Tessa, Anna, Jack, Ben and Ed. 

•From page 1 

The 63-strong squad will attempt 

to beat the record for a continuous 

erg, more commonly known as an 

indoor rowing machine, by boys 

aged under-19. 

The world record attempt named 

Rowing with Ed will start on February 

5 at CBHS at 3pm and will 

go through to the weekend. 

The current record stands at 96 

hours, with the team hoping to 

exceed more than 140 with each 

member of the squad rowing for 

an average two hours. 

The team is hoping to raise at 

least $5000 for Leukaemia and 

Blood Cancer New Zealand. 

“It means a lot for everyone to 

show their support for me like 

this,” Ed said. “I just wanted to get 

back into sport, that’s what kept me 

going.” 

Team manager Ricardo De 

Sousa said it was a good way to 

bond the team and give to a cause 

which has directly affected them. 

“It’s a way for us to bond as a 

squad but also show our support 

for Ed and what he has been going 

through.” 

Ed will take part in the world 

record attempt during a school 

assembly where he will be cheered 

on by 1300 other Christchurch 

Boys’ High School students. 

De Sousa said the squad was up 

for the challenge. 

“I think all the boys want to be 

heroes at this point,” he said. 

“They don’t care what shift 

they have to do even if it is in the 

middle of the night. 

“We know it will be a challenge 

to keep going for such a long time 

but we also know it’s nothing 

compared to what Ed has been 

going through.” 

Foul odour 

solution for 

Ferrymead 

• By Jess Gibson 

AN ODOUR treatment unit will 

be installed in Ferrymead to rid a 

foul and corrosive smell generated 

by sewer systems. 

Work to install the unit near 

Settlers Cres and Heathcote 

Towpath has started and is 

expected to finish by the end of 

February. 

City council head of three waters 

and waste Helen Beaumont said 

installing a well-designed and 

operated filter will treat offensive 

odours and extend the asset lives of 

the infrastructure. 

Ms Beaumont said the city council 

has not received any complaints 

from residents or businesses and 

the decision to install the unit was 

made after staff identified the smell. 

Environment Canterbury has 

received seven complaints from 

Ferrymead residents relating to 

odour in the area since July 2017. 

However, a spokesperson could 

not confirm whether it was coming 

from the wastewater system as 

none of the complaints provided

Fountain 

installed 

at pool 

A NEW water toy has been 

installed at Pioneer Recreation 

and Sports Centre’s leisure pool. 

The toy, which has replaced a 

slide removed earlier this year 

for safety reasons, is a cylinder 

shape – standing 1.68cm high. It 

shoots water up into the air like 

a sprinkler. 

Centres operations manager 

Ben Rzoska said facility users 

have embraced the fountain. 

“It’s a great replacement for 

the slide, which needed to be 

removed because of stagnant 

water that was pooling under it. 

Kids are back in the leisure pool, 

splashing about and having fun 

under the water spray, he said. 

“We want to say a big thanks 

to the community for their patience 

while the installation was 

carried out.” 

Pioneer closed for a week in 

early December to allow for the 

toy to be installed. During the 

closure period, the pool was also 

drained and tiles replaced. Time 

was needed for the grout to dry 

and the pool to be re-filled and 

heated. 

Stormwater discharge to be improved 

Helen 

Beaumont 

AN environmentally-friendly 

approach to managing how and 

when stormwater is discharged 

into Christchurch and Banks 

Peninsula’s waterways has been 

finalised. 

Work is also 

under way in the 

Cashmere and 

Worsleys valleys 

to create storage 

basins that will 

reduce the flood 

risk to properties 

around 

the lower and 

middle sections 

of the Heathcote River. 

The basins will be contoured 

to allow as much sediment as 

possible to settle out prior to 

water leaving the valley. This will 

improve water quality in Cashmere 

and the Heathcote River. 

Similar stormwater management 

systems are being installed in the 

Avon and Styx river catchments. 

The Environment Court has 

approved a settlement of the city 

council’s appeal against some 

conditions in the Comprehensive 

Stormwater Network Discharge 

Consent that was granted by independent 

hearing commissioners 

appointed by Environment 

Canterbury in June. 

“The settlement of this appeal 

represents a major milestone in 

the management of stormwater 

in Christchurch and means 

all stormwater discharges will 

now be managed under a single 

consent,’’ said city council head 

of three waters and waste Helen 

Beaumont. 

“This means there will be clear 

standards across the network for 

the management of stormwater, 

which should result in a better 

environmental outcome,’’ she 

said. 

Environment Canterbury’s 

chief operating officer Nadeine 

Dommisse said: “The consent 

supports the collaborative 

Canterbury Water Management 

Strategy approach between 

councils, Ngāi Tahu and the 

community to improve outcomes 

for water in Canterbury, 

and a similar approach is being 

taken for other stormwater 

network discharges throughout 

Canterbury.” 

Said Ms Beaumont: “We are 

investing millions of dollars into 

improving our management of 

stormwater so that we improve 

the quality of the water entering 

the waterways and reduce the 

risk of flooding. 

“In Wigram, for example, we 

have lowered a large area of the 

Canterbury Agricultural Park to 

create a flood storage basin with 

four hectares of wetland. In a 

one-in-100-year storm event, the 

basin will be able to store around 

FLOODED: 

The approach 

to managing 

stormwater 

discharge in 

Christchurch 

and Banks 

Peninsula will 

be improved. 

590 million litres of water – the 

equivalent of 236 Olympic-sized 

swimming pools – which means 

there’s less risk of properties 

flooding along the upper reaches 

of the Ōpāwaho/Heathcote River. 

“The new wetland area provides 

a habitat for a number 

of threatened species and will 

also help to clean the water as it 

leaves the basin and flows into 

the Heathcote,’’ she said. 

Stormwater – any rainwater 

that falls on roads, paths and 

other hard surfaces – picks up 

pollution and flows via drains 

into waterways. If the discharge 

is contaminated, this affects the 

health and water quality of local 

streams and rivers.

Swainson rolls 

with the punches 

SPORT 


WOOLSTON BOXER Trevor 

Swainson has all the motivation 

he needs heading into 2020. 

After two consecutive silver 

medals at the national championships, 

the 26-year-old is keen 

to ensure the third time will be 

the charm. 

Late last year, Swainson 

was named on the long list of 

potential athletes for the Tokyo 

Olympic Games in July and 

August this year. 

Swainson admits his Olympic 

goal is still a long-shot but being 

put on the list and his desire to 

win a national title had motivated 

him to keep training hard 

during the holiday period. 

“The training for me is fun, 

I enjoy it,” the under-81kg elite 

boxer said. 

“It makes me a better boxer. 

Whether I’m training by myself 

in the gym or looking at You- 

Tube videos on how to improve 

my technique, then it is all positive 

for me. 

“Knowing I was that close 

to the Olympics kept the fire 

burning for me,” he said. “That’s 

a once in a lifetime type of 

achievement.” 

Swainson first started boxing 

CHALLENGES: Trevor Swainson hopes to earn his first 

national title in 2020. 

when he was 12-years-old but 

returned to the sport competitively 

eight years ago. 

“I’ve always enjoyed the sport 

and competing but I always 

want to get better,” he said. 

“I do think about winning a 

national title a lot and that’s a 

big goal for me this year. 

“Hopefully I will have the opportunity 

to fight overseas more 

and represent my country.” 

He said the Olympic dream 

could still be burning in four 

years time. 

“I’ll only be 30 so if I’m still in 

good shape and active then you 

never know.” 

Woolston coach Holly 

Sullivan praised Swainson’s 

work ethic as an example the 

younger boxers could look up 

to if they wanted to reach the 

same level of success in the 

sport as they earned more 

experience.

Tasty Bites 

Cooking rice properly is a no grainer 

By Ian Knott 

Rice has the ability to 

transform a relatively 

simple dinner into a 

stunning feast. It’s readily 

available, inexpensive, 

filling, and the perfect 

blank slate for the base 

of many classic dishes 

A rice cooker is great if you 

cook rice regularly and if you’ve 

got ample storage space. The 

microwave is an option, too – 

there are many pre-packaged 

options for those who are short 

on time and can afford the 

premium price of convenience. 

But you needn’t splash out on 

any special gadgets or ingredients 

to serve up a pot of beautifully 

tender, and fluffy rice. The 

stove-top method is not as hard 

as you might think – as long as 

you remember a couple of simple 

rules. 

Not all rice is equal and should 

be treated differently if you 

want to get the best out if your 

preferred grain. 

Below, I’ll detail how to cook 

the perfect pot of white longgrain, 

brown, and aromatic 

(basmati or jasmine) rice. 

All the methods use one cup of 

uncooked rice, which will make 

three cups when cooked. 

White long-grain rice 

Step 1: Rinse, rinse, rinse. 

Step one is always the same. 

Unless you want a pot of lumpy 

wallpaper paste, you must rinse 

the starch off your rice. 

STAPLE: Rice is easy to 

cook, but also easy to get 

wrong. Make sure you 

rinse your rice well to 

avoid it going gluggy. 

Put the uncooked rice in a finemesh 

strainer and run it under 

the cold tap until the water runs 

clear. 

Step 2: Bring 1½ cups of water 

to the boil in a small saucepan 

with a lid, over a high heat. 

Step 3: Add the rice and some 

salt. If you’re feeling indulgent, 

you can also add a tablespoon 

of butter at this point. It will add 

a layer of richness, but is purely 

optional. 

Step 4: Cover and reduce the 

heat to low. Cook for 18-20min 

until the water is absorbed. 

Important: Don’t lift the lid to 

peek, and absolutely don’t stir the 

rice during the absorption stage. 

This will break down the grains 

and release more starch, leaving 

you with a gluggy pot of white 

couscous. 

Step 5: Remove from the heat 

and let it stand, covered for 

10min. The steam will finish off 

the cooking process. Uncover and 

fluff your perfect rice with a fork 

before serving. 

Brown rice 

Step 1: Repeat after me: rinse, 

rinse, rinse. 

Step 2: In a covered medium 

saucepan bring eight cups of 

water to the boil. 

Step 3: Add the rice and boil, 

uncovered, for 30-35min until 

the rice is tender but just a little 

chewy. 

Step 4: Drain the rice in a 

strainer and return it to the 

saucepan. Cover and let it steam 

(off the element) for a further 

10min. 

Step 5: Add salt to taste and 

butter (if you wish). Fluff with a 

fork and serve. 

Aromatic rice 

Step 1: All together now . . . 

rinse, rinse, rinse! 

Step 2: Boil the kettle/jug. 

You’ll need two cups of boiling 

water for basmati rice or 1½ cups 

for jasmine rice. 

Step 3: In a small saucepan, 

heat some butter and/or oil until 

it’s just starting to shimmer. Add 

the uncooked, rinsed rice and 

some salt to the pan and stir 

until the water from rinsing has 

evaporated and the rice is coated 

in the butter/oil. 

Continue to saute, stirring 

constantly (you don’t want it to 

stick and burn), until a starchy 

film forms on the bottom of the 

pan – about 2min. Your rice 

should have a slightly toasty 

aroma at this point. 

Step 4: Carefully add the 

boiling water and reduce the heat 

to low. Cover the saucepan and 

cook until the water is completely 

absorbed – about 18min. 

Step 5: Take the pan off the 

heat and let it steam, covered for 

a further 10min. Fluff with a fork 

and serve.
