Council
staff
may be
owed
millions
• By Louis Day
CITY COUNCIL staff could
be owed millions of dollars in
unpaid leave.
Diane Brandish, the city
council’s head of financial
management, said it was too early
to quantify the amount owed and
number of people affected.
“There has been a
misunderstanding on how to
calculate bereavement, annual
leave public holidays and sick
leave for some employees. Staff
were advised last month that a
review is under way,” she said.
The review is expected to cost
$5.6 million and take 12 to 18
months to complete.
Ms Brandish said the city
council is required by law to
review the previous six years from
the date areas of non-compliance
were identified.
Last year, it was revealed more
than 100,000 health workers
were owed between $550 to $650
million from mistakes made
by district health boards across
the country in leave and shift
allowance pay. New Zealand Post
had to set aside $38 million to
pay up to 22,000 workers owed
additional holiday pay.

HAVING A locomotive’s engine
running next to your house at
the crack of dawn would be a
nightmare for most people.
For Saman Farahani, it is a
harsh reality he and his family
face up to three times a week.
His home on Lowe St in
Addington sits right next to the
railway.
Mr Farahani said over the
past three months a train would
occasionally stop between 6am
and 6.30am and the locomotive’s
engine would be idling outside
the house.
He said the combination of the
noise and the shaking from the
engine would wake up himself,
his wife Sara and three-monthold
daughter.
He also said the smell of fumes
fills up his house to the point
where he cannot stop coughing.
“First thing when I wake up, I
cough because the house is full of
the smell of gas,” he said.
Mr Farahani said he was
concerned for the health of his
daughter.
He said moving was not an
option for him, with his tenancy
contract at the property not running
out until October.
“The driver will stop outside
the house and the whole house
will start shaking and it will be so

Teen earns entry
into prestigious
UK university
• From page 1
The former St Margaret’s
College student will start at the
University of Cambridge in the
United Kingdom in September,
where she will read economics at
Corpus Christi College.
Last week, Emma accepted a Top
Scholar Award a ceremony at Parliament,
after scoring the highest
mark in the country, the maximum
score possible, 45 out of 45.
The IB Diploma is a globally
recognised qualification that follows
a two-year educational programme
primarily aimed at 16 to
19-year-olds.
The programme provides a
qualification for entry into higher
education and is recognised by
many universities worldwide.
Emma chose to study IB at St
Margaret’s College due to the
global perspectvie the study
offered and depth of subjects
covered, such as language and
literature, language acquisition,
individuals and societies, experimental
sciences, maths and the
arts.
Said Emma: “I chose IB because
I wanted to study a broad range
of subjects and I also wanted an
international career in the future.
The chance to study economics,
particularly developmental economics
is quite unique for a high
school curriculum.
“IB taught me a lot about time
management and taught me how
to retain knowledge and use it in
different contexts. It taught me
to question things, particularly
knowledge – you don’t necessarily
take things at face value,”
Emma said.
Emma hopes to find a career
working for organisations such
as the IMF or the World Bank,
leveraging human rights issues in
developing countries and working
with loans and projects that
would be able to develop their
economy so they can get out of
the poverty trap.
“I’ve had my heart set on this
since seeing a story on the news
when I was in year 9 and IB was
the right pathway to achieve
that,” she said.

Record-breaking effort
for cancer fundraiser
CHRISTCHURCH Boys’
High School’s rowing team
has set a new world record and
raised more than $22,000 for
Leukaemia and Blood Cancer
New Zealand in the process.
Ed Lopas, a member of the
school’s rowing team, was
diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma
– a form of blood cancer
– last year. It was only fitting that
the 16-year-old had the honour
of finishing the last stint of the
successful world record attempt
on Tuesday. The team of 61 rowers
set a new world record for the
longest continual team erg (rowing
machine) by a group aged
under-19. Their time of 145hr
10min smashed the previous
record of 96hr.
“It was pretty special having
everyone cheer me on to the finish,”
said Lopas.
The team travelled a total
distance of 1937km. On a map,
their travels took them from
school, north to Blenheim, west
to Greymouth, south to Queenstown,
east to Dunedin and up
SH1 back to school.
The school’s rowing manager
Ricardo De Sousa said he’s been
blown away by the team’s commitment
to the record-breaking

“The boys have been absolutely
incredible. We thought it would
be a bit of a headache trying to get
boys on the egg at silly hours of
the morning. It’s not the most fun
thing to be on and the boys tend to
shy away from it, but they wanted
to do it for Ed,” said De Sousa.
Senior rowers did shifts of
90min with some of the movies
doing shifts between 30-45min.
The team began the world record
big on Wednesday last week and
had surpassed the previous world
record by Sunday afternoon.
Ed was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s
lymphoma in July last year.
After five months of successful
chemotherapy, Ed was cleared to
start physical activity again and
hopes to row at the Maadi Cup
regatta on Lake Ruataniwha near
Twizel next month.

MAJOR SCRUB fires in
Heathcote Valley yesterday show
how vulnerable the region is to
fast-growing blazes.
Six crews and two helicopters
fought four separate blazes
near the Heathcote River in the
afternoon, which spread across
an area of about 400m.
Tunnel Rd was closed between
Ferry and Port Hills Rds and fire
investigators were working to
determine the cause.
No one was required to be
evacuated.
However, a pregnant woman
was taken to Christchurch
Hospital by police after suffering
a medical event near the fires on
Tunnel Rd.
Nearby resident Alistair
Campbell was looking out the
window when he saw the smoke.
“Everything is dry, you can’t
afford to have a fire.”
He said the fire was in a large
paddock, where he believed
there were horses and a stable.
Senior fire risk management
officer Bruce Irvine said the
blaze shows exactly how quickly
fires can grow in the conditions,
especially near the Port Hills.
“We saw how quickly this fire
grew, anything like this is being
taken very seriously and dealt
with very quickly.
“We are going to hammer
these with a lot of resources. We
are ready, we are prepared for
this type of event and all they
(the public) have to do is give us
a call as soon as they see smoke,”
Mr Irvine said.

Proposed
parking price
hike criticised
THE CANTERBURY Employers’
Chamber of Commerce has
criticised the city council’s
proposed price hike for parking in
the central city.
Recommended increases outlined
in the city council’s Draft
Annual Plan include $4 for 1hr
on-street metered parking, an
increase of 90 cents.
Canterbury Employers’ Chamber
of Commerce chief executive
Leeann Watson said the increase
was “incredibly disappointing.”
“This works against everything
we have been fighting so hard for
over the last few years and comes
at a time when central city businesses
need support – not another
barrier,” she said.
“At the end of last year, in the
six weeks leading up to Christmas,
the central city core spending
increased 17 per cent to $42
million when compared to the
same period in the previous year.
“I am concerned that this
parking increase will slow or stall
that positive momentum just as
we are hitting our stride. I am
also concerned that this timing
coincides with us heading into
the cooler months – potentially
compounding a possible seasonal
decrease in foot traffic and
spending.”

Bid for Cathedral work
resource consent
• By Louis Day
RESOURCE CONSENT has
been lodged for stabilising works
at Christ Church Cathedral.
The proposed stabilisation
works will address severe structural
damage suffered in the
February 22, 2011, earthquake to
allow for future strengthening of
the Cathedral.
The application does not extend
to the strengthening of the
Cathedral, further resource consent
will be required for them.
The proposed works will
involve deconstruction of some
parts of the building to manage
collapse hazards and the installation
of support frames to make it
safe for workers to go inside the
Cathedral.
It will also seek to gain access
to the interior of the building for
salvage and investigation works
and retrieval of heritage items,
including the remaining stained
glass windows and organ as well
as temporary weatherproofing of
the building.
Once the stabilisation of the
building has been completed, the
plans towards strengthening and
reinstatement can advance.
The resource consent application
is still being processed by
WRECKED: The earthquake-damaged Christ Church

the city council. A city council
spokeswoman said due to the
complexity of the application
there was no time frame for
when a decision would be made
on it.
The work is expected to take
between 18 and 24 months.
It was decided the Cathedral
would be salvaged by the Anglican
Church in September 2017.
The city council has put $10
million towards the restoration.
The Crown has also made a
contribution of $10 million. The
Government has also made a $15
million loan that will not have to
be paid back if certain conditions
are met.
The church’s insurance
proceeds of about $42 million
make up for more than $90
million of the estimated $104
million total restoration cost.
Aves Invasion organiser
narrowly misses jail
in fraud sentencing
• By Sophie Cornish
THE ORGANISER of the
contentious Aves Invasion
boy racer events has narrowly
escaped jail after being
sentenced on fraud charges.
Daniel James Cossar, 26,
was sentenced to four months
community detention, nine
months of supervision and was
ordered to pay more than $8000
in reparations by Judge Mark
Callaghan in the district court
yesterday.
Judge Callaghan said Cossar’s
sentence was “substantially
reduced” from imprisonment or
home detention, due to the fact
he was able to pay his reparations
in full immediately after
the hearing.
It was revealed at the sentencing
that Cossar’s father had obtained
a loan for him to be able
to pay back the sum in full.
Cossar was sentenced on two
charges of obtaining by deception
of cash amounts over $1000
and one of under $500.
In 2018, Cossar, a car enthusiast,
made two separate Trade Me
listings selling car engines and
gearboxes and gained $3500 and
$4950 from two buyers, both of
whom contacted Cossar after the
items were received, saying they
were not what was advertised.
Neither were in working condition.
Cossar eventually ceased
contact with both buyers and
refused to refund them.
He then used a friend’s Trade
Me account to list a further 77
items, which he said he would
pay the fees for. Cossar made
some payments for the fees but
$101 was still outstanding.
Judge Callaghan said the “aggravating
features” of his offending
was that it appeared planned
and premeditated.
Cossar was instructed to pay
the reparation back in full immediately
after the sentencing
and Judge Callaghan suggested
he “pay his father back.”
The annual Aves Invasion
events, some of which were
organised by Cossar, have made
national headlines in the past after
hundreds of boy racers from
across the South Island gathered
at various spots around the city
and travelled around the four
central city avenues.
The events have previously
been described by police as
‘mass disorder.’

A LARGE fireworks display will
still go ahead at a Hagley Park
event this weekend, in spite of
the region being in a prohibited
fire season.
But, the YES Power Sparks
annual fireworks display could
still be cancelled on the day, if
weather and wind conditions on
the night are not appropriate.
A water tanker and fire engine
will be on standby as well as fire
extinguishers at every corner of
the pyrotechnic zone.
THe use of fireworks is not
banned during a prohibited
fire season, as the changing
‘seasons’, which are decided
by Fire and Emergency New
Zealand, only relate to openaired
fires.
FENZ holds the power to
prohibit or restrict sparkinducing
activities, such as
fireworks, under section 52 of
the Fire and Emergency New
Zealand Act 2017.
Said North Canterbury
principal rural fire officer
Bruce Janes: “We expect those
planning to use fireworks to
understand how dangerous
they can be and not use them
during restricted and prohibited
seasons. A significant number
of vegetation fires are caused by
fireworks.”
City council manager events
and arts Lucy Blackmore said
her team is working closely
with FENZ to plan for the
event.
“Extra precautions have
been put in place and we will
continue to monitor conditions.
“As requested by FENZ, we
will be watering the grass area
in the pyrotechnic exclusion
zone prior to the event and will
not fire on the night if wind/
weather conditions are not
appropriate,” she said.
Organisers are anticipating a
crowd of 50,000 to attend.
In spite of having the

Event sponsor, ChristchurchNZ,

reasons.”
Usually, to apply for a permit
for a public fireworks display,

Quarry
decision
still
pending
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
QUARRY opponents awaiting a
decision on whether a controversial
quarry will open near Templeton
will have to wait a bit longer.
The hearing for Fulton Hogan’s
proposal to open a quarry between
Dawsons, Jones, Maddisons and

from the quarry of air pollutant
PM10. It prompted a request from
the independent hearings panel
chaired by Rob van Voorthuysen
for further information from Fulton
Hogan over the quarry.
Fulton Hogan and other organisations
required to respond
to the new evidence presented at
the hearing will have until Friday,
February 28.

Community
boards to get
public input
• By Louis Day
THE PUBLIC will have a say
on the priorities of community
boards for the first time.
The city council is publicly
consulting on the three-year plans
of community boards which set
out their priorities for local communities.
City council head of support,
governance and partnerships John
Filsell said the idea behind the
initiative was to get community
feedback in order to inform board
priorities.
These plans will guide the
boards’ decisions on local activities,
projects and facilities and advocacy
on behalf of communities.
Each plan will identify three
priorities per ward area, so the
Burwood-Coastal Community
Board for example which comprises
of two wards will have six
priorities. Burwood-Coastal is the
only board to have its plan out for
consultation at this stage.
It has proposed prioritising service
delivery at QEII Recreation
and Sport Centre, planning for an
additional community facility in
Burwood, the transformation of
the red zone, making the area “attractive
and appealing for all” and
improving roading.
Mr Filsell said all boards would
have their plans out for public
consultation until early March.

TWO MORE people have
been seriously assaulted in
their home, less than a week
after three men were jailed for
bashing and robbing another
man on his property.
Police allege a group of five
people assaulted two Parklands
residents on Sunday morning.
One offender has been charged
with possessing a metal pole.
They were called to the
incident, on Alpine View Lane,
about 10.40am.
Both victims were taken to
hospital in serious condition, a
St John spokesman confirmed.
Two men and a woman have
been arrested while the others
are being sought.
Detective Sergeant Brian
Cameron said police are following
strong leads to find the offenders
but anyone with information
should get in touch with police or
Crimestoppers.
Police understand there was a
link between some of the offenders
and the victims and there is
no reason to believe the incident
was associated with any organised
crime groups, Detective
Sergeant Cameron said.

THREE MEN, three house fires
and not enough time to get out.
The result – they all died.
Martin Schultz, Karl Blackett
and Robert White’s deaths
still remain at the forefront
of the minds of Christchurch
firefighters.
Their deaths, along with
many other fatalities around the
country, have prompted a new
educational promotion by Fire
and Emergency New Zealand –
Escape Week.
The campaign, a first of its
type, asks New Zealanders
one simple question – are you
prepared to escape in a house
fire?
FENZ is encouraging
everyone to spend 5min creating
a household fire escape plan,
which involves a meeting point
and more than one exit point.
“Eighty to 90 per cent
of families don’t have an
escape plan,” senior fire risk
management officer Bruce Irvine
said.
But while Mr Irvine believes
it’s important for families
to create to plan, he wants
to emphasise how equally
important it is for those not
living in a tight-knit family
unit.
Three fatalities in Christchurch
in the past 12 months
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Make a plan to escape your home
FATALITY: FENZ is encouraging people who live in home
share or flatting situations to create an escape plan. It
comes after Karl Blackett died when a fire tore through his
Shaw Ave boarding house last month.

involved men, who were middleaged
and lived alone or in flatting
or shared home residential
situations.
In July, Mr Schultz, 55, and
his dog, Girl, lay dead for several
days in his Momorangi Cres,
Redwood, home until found
by someone who noticed his
windows were covered in soot.
The cooking fire had selfextinguished,
but Mr Schultz
and Girl were unable to escape
as the doors of his home were
deadlocked and the keys weren’t
easily accessible.
In October, Mr White was
found in critical condition after
a fire ripped through his Breens
Rd, Bishopdale, home.
The 69-year-old died in
hospital shortly after.
‘Eighty to 90 per cent of
families don’t have an
escape plan’
– Bruce Irvine
A neighbour, who smelt
burning and then saw thick
plumes of smokes coming from
the flat tried to save Mr White by
banging on his door.
Last month, Mr Blackett, 50,
was unable to escape when an
early-morning fire tore through
his Shaw Ave, New Brighton,
boarding house within minutes.
Other tenants managed to
escape but were unable to reach
Mr Blackett.
Said Mr Irvine: “The
demographic is consistent.
People who live alone tend to
a have a ‘she’ll be right, or I’ll
be alright’ attitude. We easily
engage with families and youth
at public events. However, for
individuals, they don’t tend to
take it on as much.
“More often than not, the
fatalities we see are due to
single occupancy or single
person environment, so from
a local perspective that is a
consideration.”
In conjunction with Escape
Week, FENZ is offering free
home visits where local fire
crews can survey homes and
help to discuss fire safety and
escape plans.

New signs
installed
warning of
fire danger
• By Sophie Cornish
NEW SIGNAGE has been put
up in extreme fire-risk areas,
encouraging recreation users to
understand the dangers.
Thirty signs have been installed
this week by Fire and Emergency
New Zealand in large urban recreation
areas.
The wider Canterbury region
remains in a prohibited fire
season, open-air fires are
banned.
Senior fire risk management
officer Bruce Irvine said the
signs are to bring attention to
the conditions and wants them
to encourage people to think
about their escape routes when
in these areas, including Bottle
Lake Forest, New Brighton beach,
Godley Head and other parks
and recreation areas in the Port
Hills.
“In Australia, people became
trapped, because their escape
route had been blocked by fire
which was moving more rapidly
than expected. If you going to
smoke there, don’t. Take your
rubbish with you, anything
reflective, glass, metal etc that
could get hot in the sun, take it
with you,” he said.

Lack of condolence book for
Mike Moore disappoints friend
• By Louis Day
A FRIEND of late prime
minister Mike Moore thinks it
is “damn rude” more was not
done to commemorate him in
Christchurch.
Mr Moore, a long-serving
Labour politician who served
Christchurch as a member of
Parliament for 21 years, representing
Papanui, Christchurch
North and Waimakariri, died at
the age of 71 last Monday.
A public funeral service will
be held in Auckland tomorrow.
Condolence books have been
provided to the public at Parliament
and will also be available at
the funeral service. However, no
condolence book will be available
in Christchurch.
Margaret Gibson who met Mr
Moore through her husband
Peter Gibson, who was involved
in the Labour Party while Mr
Moore was in office, said this was
“damn rude.”
“He was our Minister for 21
years, surely somebody here should
have done something,” she said.
“We no longer matter,
Christchurch no longer matters.”
A Department of Internal Affairs
visits and ceremonial office
spokesman said this was normal
practice. He said if any local
government entity chose to open
their own condolence book they
would be welcome to do so.
City council manager of civic
and international relations Matt
Nichols said the city council flew
its flag at half-mast in acknowledgement
of Mr Moore’s passing.
He said the city council
followed guidance from
the department on whether
condolence books are
appropriate upon the death of
prominent figures.

THREE footbridges, a riverside

The Earthquake Appeal Trust
approved an $18 million package
of grants to the city council

infrastructure projects along the
Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor.
The projects in the red zone
include three pedestrian/cycle
bridges at Medway St, Snell Pl and
in Aranui, and a riverside landing
near Dallington.
Mayor Lianne Dalziel said
the trust’s funding for the
regeneration area will greatly
improve the connectivity
of communities and begin
transforming the Ōtākaro Avon
River Corridor into a valuable
asset for the community.
The footbridges and Dallington
landing will form part of a 350ha

SHAKE IT OFF: Charlie (huntaway/staffy cross) and SPCA
canine animal attendant Chandel Kettlewell.
SUMMER IS a good time to
paws and reflect and for these
SPCA pups, they’re doing just
that.
It’s a pool paw-ty at the
Christchurch Hornby centre after
it was inundated with donations,
following a call on Facebook for
any unwanted or old backyard
pools that could make these dog’s
summer last fur-ever.
As a result, more than 15 pools
were donated, including five new
pools costing about $180 each by
Bunnings Warehouse.
SPCA community fundraising
and events co-ordinator Kelsea
Nelson-Cummins said the single
Facebook post asking for old or
unwanted pools “did really well.”
“People have been really, really
generous and the dogs, as you
can see in the photos, absolutely
love it,’’ she said.
“It’s been so hot, sometimes for
our bigger dogs, it’s nice for them
to fully submerge in water.
“Believe it or not, because we
have so many facilities they are
pretty much all being used. We
squirrelled away a couple of the
new bigger pools because as with
dogs, bless them, there is a bit of
wear and tear with them jumping
in and out of the pools.’’
Kit and Charlie are both currently
up for adoption and the
SPCA is also looking for volunteers
for its annual appeal next
month.
“We are still looking for collectors,
so if anyone is yet to sign
up and it’s on their new year
resolutions list to volunteer for
a charity, definitely do,” Miss
Nelson-Cummins said.

her singing along to some
song she’s made up when she
doesn’t know I’m looking.
And although I might not love
it immediately, I quite enjoy
it when she forces her singing

Over the last week there’s been
a couple of days where I’ve been
woken up by her climbing onto
my head, leaning into my ear
and belting out a (upon reflection)
lovely rendition of the
birthday song.
She had first surprised me
with her ability to sing the song,
in its entirety, last week at her
Nan’s house while I did some
gardening. She was calmly sitting,
eating some berries while I
worked and just started singing
along. I guess it makes sense,
birthday season is still alive and
kicking so she’s heard that song
a heap.

vigour that she can sing the

Considering all that, it wasn’t

guitars to her songs on Waitangi

We’d popped round for dinner
and while we were there she
grabbed the two he has in his
lounge and dragged them over
to the couch.
She then handed one to her
Grandad and kept one for
herself to add twanging guitar
strings to her birthday song, encouraging
her Grandad to play
along with her.
It was great seeing them have
a wee jam session together and
Vittoria clearly enjoyed it.
I might not remember
anything about the lessons I
had on those guitars, but it
seems Vittoria might enjoy
learning to use them properly in
future.

OUR PEOPLE – JED JOYCE
Chilling out in business and in spare time
Seven years ago, Jed
Joyce was selling gelato
out of a mobile cart at
the age of 15. Today he
owns three Rollickin’
Gelato stores across the
city and is showing no
signs of slowing down.
Louis Day speaks with
the young businessman
Have you always been a bit of
an entrepreneur?
Yes, I think I have always been
a bit of an entrepreneur. When I
was younger I used to sell wine
barrels from Marlborough, you
could use them as bar leaners or
cut them in half and use them
as coffee tables. I also sold swan
plants and I would leave an
honesty box and see if anyone
had left me anything at the end of
the day. At high school, I started
seriously pursuing it when I
started studying business studies
as a subject. During my early
years at high school, I spent a
lot of time at The Berry Shop as
a customer and I eventually got
offered a job there. The owner
was Jane Harrow and she taught
me a lot.
Where did you grow up?
Born and bred in Christchurch.
I went to St Bede’s College and
Christ the King School was my
primary school.
How did you come to start
Rollickin’ Gelato?
We have talked about The
Berry Shop and that is where I
learnt about working with ice
cream. When I was year 11 or 12,
me and a group got offered to go
on a trip called World Challenge
and for that we had to fundraise
to cover the costs to go over there.
My idea was that Christchurch
could use some gelato. I met
someone in Wellington who was
making gelato and got it sent
down. Obviously this was after
the earthquake so we teamed up
with Life In Vacant Spaces to fill
in a gap in the city, we were in
a mobile cart. After I had been
on the World Challenge trip I
continued with the shop because
it was going so well and I opened
it full-time with the help of a
uni student while I was at high

school. I got to the end of high
school and I could have gone to
uni to study business but instead,
I kept pushing with Rollickin’.
What do you like to do in your
free time?
I think the gym and exercise
is good, I feel like I am a lot
fresher after doing exercise. Also
hanging with friends and family.
Tramping as well, I have ticked
off a lot of great walks of New
Zealand, I decided to tick off one
every year.
What is your favourite part of
the job?
Just being able to do what I
love, something I am so excited
and passionate about every
day and just working with
such a great team. Being from
Christchurch, starting from
humble beginnings with a cart
and now having three shops, it
is just really cool to be growing
something for Christchurch.
What is your most popular
flavour?
At the moment, I would say
probably cashew street, that is
a flavour we released for the
opening of our Cashel St store. It
consists of dreamy caramel gelato
with chunky sweet cashew pieces,
dollops of dulce de leche and
chocolate cashew cream.
What is your personal
favourite?
My personal favourite would
be, the bloomberry. So that is
coconut and raspberry whipped
into creamy pink gelato, swirled
with sweet blueberry sauciness.
It also has fluffy housemade
vegan marshmallow, layered with
chewy coconut cake pieces. I love
that one because we are having a
lot of fun with vegan flavours and

Gelato owner Jed Joyce has

it appeals to anyone, even those
with dietary requirements.
Talk me through how you
make your gelato?
We have got a team of about
six or seven chefs and we
meet every week. We plan our
flavours, we switch out three
flavours every two weeks. At our
weekly meeting, we talk about
customer feedback, often we get
lots of customer requests around
new flavours and we do a lot of
research around that. We also
discuss ideas from staff, we have
about 35 employees now. On the
production side of it, our chefs
start at 3.30am that’s at New
Regent and Cashel Sts. So that is
two people, a baker and a gelato
maker. The baker makes all the
inclusions like the hokey pokey
the brownie chunks, the vegan
marshmallow and the sauces and
the gelato maker is taking all the
baker’s stuff like all the inclusions
and turning it into gelato.
Any exciting new flavours in
the pipeline?
For Valentine’s Day we do have
a few. We have love me tinder,
this has sweet strawberries and
cream gelato, with even more
tempting strawberry layers and
dark chocolate. We also will have
my cookie, which is salty caramel
gelato with dripping choccy
fudge sauciness and a smashing
trio of all your cookie favourites
with chunks of housemade choc
chip cookies, cookie dough and
Oreos. The perfect healer for
unrequited love. Finally, we have
the butter me up, creamy dreamy
butterscotch gelato stacked
with house-made sticky date
and dripping layers of orange
butterscotch sauciness.
How is the new store on
Cashel St going?
It is going good, it is going
really well. Basically, because I
have been doing it for six years,
the whole point of Cashel St
was to lift our dessert game.
In New Regent St our kitchen
was completely maxed out so to
lift our game we needed more
kitchen space. We have got some
more kitchen space now and the
whole team can’t wait to take
things to the next level.
Do you have any other plans
in terms of expanding the
business?
Not at this point. Maybe once
we have caught our breath we
will have a plan. Like me, the
whole team is young so everyone
has exciting ideas about what to
do next, so there is so much we
could do, but no official plans as
of yet.
Would you rule out ever
expanding the business beyond
Christchurch?
No.
Do you see yourself ever
getting into any businesses
outside of the ice cream
industry?
No. I live and breathe gelato.
In your time running
Rollickin’ Gelato, how far do
you think the central city has
come?
Hugely far. From when
I started in New Regent St
more than half the street was
vacant buildings. It just felt like
Rollickin’ and The Last Word.
Now New Regent St is fully
functioning you get a lot of foot
traffic. People don’t realise how
hard businesses in the central city
have had to fight but definitely,
in the last year, it has started to
turn.

“A local team for local people”
Thursday February 13 2020 The Star
A BIG THING that bugs people
when they go into the central
city is the cost of on-street car
parking.
It is currently $3.10 an hour,
a real put off for most. There
are cheaper options such as the
multi-level car parks, which
are quite reasonable. But if you
want to leave the car north of
the square then you have few
choices.
Now the city council wants to
increase the hourly charge to $4.
That’s crazy.
Central city businesses are
understandably arching up. City
councillor James Gough is also
arching up.
Some parts of the central
city are stagnating as the big
developments such as Riverside
Market, and The Terrace attract
people and their dollars. The
cafes and bars and the market
are busy, busy.

Kit Chambers – I cannot
understand the ridiculous
other parts of the central city on
a Saturday or Sunday for lunch
or a bite in the early evening and
you generally won’t have any
problem getting a table – or a
car park.
I can’t vouch for what happens
late at night in those locations;
my night owl days appear to be
long gone.
So if car parking goes up to $4
an hour it will be even less of an
incentive for people to go into
town.
Gough told his fellow city
councillors at a meeting this
week implementing such a plan
flies in the face of what the
comments of Cr Davidson that
a decision would have to go out
for public consultation before a
recommendation can be reached.
That will take months to resolve.

IT HAS been frightening
to watch the impact of what
has been described as an
“infodemic” in the wake of the
Coronavirus outbreak.
The World Health Organisation
(WHO) has spoken out

guidance when it’s needed.
They are working with their
partners 24-hours a day to identify

Overreaction to Coronavirus
Adds Salt to Wound
The decision of New Zealand
government to place temporary
restrictions to refuse entry of any
foreign travellers who leave or
transit through mainland China
after 2 February 2020 as a measure
to prevent 2019-nCoV has aroused
concerns. While it is understandable
for countries to take necessary and
proportionate measures against the
outbreak, these measures should
be based on scientific evidence
or recommendations from World
Health Organization (WHO).
The decision to close borders,
unwarranted by current situation,
is disrupting normal personnel
exchanges and practical cooperation
in various areas, and in some sense
is unnecessarily causing negative
impacts, like adding salt to the
wound.
It came at the worst timing
coinciding with the peak tourism
season and the start of new
semester. Chinese visitors and
students are not the only ones
adversely affected by the entry ban.
It is estimated that halting Chinese
tourists for two weeks is to leave a
nearly 100 million hole in tourism
earnings of New Zealand resulting
in job losses. The credibility of New
Zealand education institutions
is being harmed. In addition
to economic exchanges, the
repercussion is hampering the
friendly ties between our peoples
and may undermine mutual trust in
the long run. We are also concerned
with recent cases of xenophobia
and racism which might be further
inflamed by such an excessive
measure, spreading the more
dangerous “virus of hatred” which
was the main cause of the tragic
Christchurch shooting incident a
year ago.
WHO has made it clear that no
travel or trade restrictions against
China are recommended at this
stage. It has reiterated their call
to all countries not to impose
restrictions inconsistent with
International Health Regulations.
Director General Dr. Tedros said
such restrictions can have the effect
of increasing fear and stigma, with
little public health benefit. He urged
relevant parties to take actions
commensurate with public health
risks only and make adjustment
accordingly. WHO spokesperson
Christian Lindmeier also echoed
that proper surveillance to check
the health of incoming travellers
would be more appropriate.
In fact, there shall be no reason to
panic or overreact if an objective
and accurate analysis of the current
situation is made. The momentum
of spreading has been effectively
curbed both within and outside
China with unprecedented domestic
control. 99% of the 2019-nCoV
cases are contained in China,
and 97% of deaths are in Hubei
Province. So far the disease only
caused one death outside China
and the patient was from also
Wuhan. In terms of the case-fatality,
rate of 2019-nCoV is 2% and
comparatively much lower than that
of other epidemics such as Ebola
(40%), Mers (35%), H1N1(17.4%)
and Sars (10%).
It is also important to avoid double
standards. The current flu season in
the US has already caused infections
of 19 million people and 10
thousand deaths without triggering
adequate prevention measures
from US government. During the
2009 H1N1 outbreak which also
emerged in the US, no country has
closed their borders to American
travellers though it was defined as
an international emergency global
pandemic. I still recall it took six
months for the US government to
declare a national emergency at
then. Ironically, the US took lead in
overreacting to the coronavirus so
aggressively this time.
China is mobilizing resources
nationwide to contain the outbreak,
and we are fighting with the
international community on our
side. The UN Secretary General
and WHO Director-General have
applauded China’s forceful measures
and expressed confidence in the
ability of the Chinese government to
prevail over the epidemic. Leaders
of many countries have expressed
their support and sympathies for
China. I have once and again been
moved by the encouraging words
from local friends in all circles
demonstrating solidarity with
Chinese people at this difficult
moment.
The epidemic is only temporary
while friendship and cooperation
will stay in the long run. We can
only defeat this outbreak with global
solidarity. China is committed to
working with all other countries
including New Zealand to tide over
the difficulties, prevail over the
outbreak, and ensure the health and
safety of each and every member of
our community with a shared future
for mankind.

THEATRE/ARTS
Listen to British star’s
acting career – and a
worthy cause will benefit
British stage, film
and television
actor David Suchet
will arrive in the
city next week
to reflect on his
successful career
and to revisit some
of his most iconic
roles. He spoke to
Georgia O’Connor-

“I THINK we all worship
our own God and if our
God is money then hey,
perhaps we are willing to
commit suicide in order
to serve that God but I say
open your eyes and wake
up.”
That is English Emmy
award-winning actor
David Suchet’s – the star of
the long-running British
mystery drama television
series Agatha Christie’s
Poirot – outlook on global
warming.
It is also the reason why
a proportion of the proceeds
from ticket sales
during his upcoming tour
of New Zealand has gone
to supporting Australia’s
bush fire relief effort.
The 73-year-old British
star will fly into the city on
Tuesday to tell the story
of his career in film and
stage at the town hall as
part of his show David
Suchet: Poirot & More: A
Retrospective.
Suchet is one of many
international celebrities
to donate and speak out
about the bush fires.
It comes as Australia is
the world’s third-largest
exporter of fossil carbon,
and with 53 new coal mines
proposed. The Australian
government plans to double
its existing production by
2030.
“We want Australia to
feel that even though this
is a British show, we are
giving to Australia. It is an
indication of how important
we feel this tragedy
that has happened should
awaken global awareness,”
Suchet said.
For 25 years Suchet
played the Belgian detective
Hercule Poirot –
performing in all 74 Poirot
television movies before it
ended in 2013.
But although he acknowledged
he may be
remembered for his role as
Poirot – as it has been seen
by more than 750 million
people worldwide, he said
“one of the gifts the industry”
is he has never been
tied down to the role.
The London-born
actor has played many
iconic roles including Lady
Bracknell in The Importance
of Being Earnest,
Cardinal Benelli in The
Last Confession and Freud
in the show of the same
name – and will be discussing
some of these roles
as part of his show.
“I am hoping audiences
will take away quite a lot.
They will take away my
early life, take away my
early career – my drama
school, my early repertory

theatre experiences, my
experience with the 13
years with (The Royal)
Shakespeare Company.
“The climax of the show
will be me showing and
describing in detail how I
put together the wonderful
character of Hercule

In a bid to inspire
the next generation of
Christchurch artists,
Suchet said he is hoping
the city’s young and senior
actors along with writers
will be sitting in the
audience.
“The opportunities are
out there and I just want to
encourage my profession,
the youth of my profession
to take it very seriously and
keep training.
“It is a very difficult
profession, I have had my
periods of unemployment
like everybody else.’’
But Suchet said,
hopefully with a good
agent and enough
opportunity a young actor
should not be discouraged.

#Areyouupforit? www.city2surf.co.nz
weeK fIve: Look up and accept the challenge
The training programme will stay the same this week as last week but may I suggest that you go and explore the geographical
options you have for your training. This means not only exploring your own neighbourhood but also venturing to places like
the Burwood Plantation, the beach or the Port Hills. Of course it takes a bit more time as you need transport so the weekend
might be the best time to do this. The best surface to run on is soft, like grass, sand or gravel; it is easier on the legs so try and
do the majority of your sessions on these types of surfaces if possible. If you have time, venture into the Port Hills. A good place
to start is the track which runs between the sign of the Takeha and the sign of the Kiwi. This is a gradual incline which you can do
out and back for as far as you can comfortably go. Once you have mastered this track you can venture beyond anywhere in the
port hills. Jogging on the Port Hills walking tracks takes a bit of concentration as the terrain underfoot can be uneven. Walking
or jogging and running uphill will automatically increase the intensity a fraction because you use larger muscle groups. It is a
type of endurance training which will accelerate your strength and fitness with incredible views of our beautiful city as an extra
bonus. Going up, take small steps and take your time so you stay mainly in zone 1 and 2. Remember that zone 1 is perceived as
an easy effort which you can maintain for very long periods of time. In zone 2 you will get slightly puffed but you can still have a
conversation. Initially take it easy on the downhill. It can be hard on the legs, so go careful. At this time of the year the beach is also
an attractive option for a workout. The soft sand will add an extra dimension and help the strength development. On hot days go
for the forest or parks as the shade provided by the trees will protect you from the blazing sun. Hagley Park is of course the jewel
in the crown as far as parks go with lots of variety and enough options never to have to do the same route.

To achieve this goal
you need to develop
some awareness around
the basic requirements
of exercising for health
and fitness. First and
foremost this has to do
with 3 key principles:
1. How often do you train? To
improve your level of health and
fitness you will need to aim for 4
sessions per week. 2 or 3 sessions per
week will only maintain what you have and 1
session per week is definitely not sufficient.
2. How long are your sessions? The
duration of your sessions will generally
build towards between 30 and 50 minutes
with one longer session of 60-80 minutes.
3. What is the right intensity to train at?
The good thing about the programme
is that all your runs will be done at
submaximal pace, also called conversation
pace. That means a pace where you can still
talk. If you can’t talk you are going too fast
and you are likely to come to a grinding halt
sooner or later.
This programme and accompanying information are written
as a guide only. If you are concerned about your health at
any stage please undergo a health check with your GP.
TIP of The weeK
Comfort during your training session will
greatly add to your enjoyment. Small issues
like shoes which do not quite fit, wrongly
sized, insufficient or too much clothing can
all have big consequences like blisters, cold
exposure, heatstroke or chaffing issues. In
a previous article I have already mentioned
the importance of well-fitting shoes but the
same applies to your running shorts and
top. For women there are special sports
bra’s to add to comfort and males can
prevent the much maligned “nipple rash”
with preventative taping over the affected
areas.

GARDENING ADVICE
Today’s winning question
came from June Commons.
Congratulations!
Some of the fruit on my peach
Q tree has mould. The fruit
affected is all well placed on the
branches and not too close
together. What can I do to prevent this
happening next season as well?
A
Unfortunately, some years and on some peach trees, the fruit
will show signs of signifi cant mould while still on the tree. It
is very frustrating, especially when there is a good crop of
peaches!
A peach tree’s natural form is very crowded and dense, and this leads
to a loss of air movement and less sunlight reaching the fruit - both
contributing to mould developing.
To lessen the chances of this happening in future years, signifi cant
winter pruning is required to ensure there is plenty of space between
the main branches and that smaller side branches growing inward are
completely removed. Be meticulous in removing any mummifi ed i.e. old,
dead fruit that is sometimes left on the tree in late summer.
In spring, fertilise with fruit tree fertilisers to ensure the tree is growing
vigorously and mulch as summer arrives to help retain soil moisture.
Do not grow other large bushes or trees too close to the peach tree as this
will reduce air movement through the existing peach tree
and contribute to the problem.
Products to try are Daltons Garden Time Fruit &
Citrus Fertiliser and Daltons Mulch & Grow.
Read our How to Grow Fruit Guide for more advice:

Mulching is the magic word when it comes to successful gardening during the hot summer
months. Apply a thick layer on top of soil around plants, trees, and especially pots, to aid water
retention. Always water plants regularly and deeply in the early morning or evening, avoiding the
hottest part of the day.

Almost endless list of container plants
GROWING plants in containers
is a popular way to bring patios,
outdoor rooms and the garden
to life.
Plants soften edges, add colour,
vibrancy and in some cases
perfume to areas where they are
placed.
Often referred to as the gardens
accessories, cleverly placed pots
and containers create a statement,
just as a necklace or belt does
when added to an outfit.
Containers create focal points
to enhance areas of the garden
and draw your eye away from
places you don’t wish to highlight.
The list of plants that happily
thrive in pots and containers is
almost endless.
Generally most plants can
adapt to life in a container providing
they have enough room
for their root zone, plenty of
fertiliser, water and the correct
sun or shade requirements.
Be aware containers restrict the
root growth of plants; this can determine
how tall or wide a plant
can grow. Not only the leaves and
flowers need room to grow but
also the root zone.
Tips for container
gardening success
Site – Place pot/container carefully
as the site will govern what
plant types will happily thrive.
Choose plants to suit the situation.
Size – Pots and containers vary
in shape, size and colour. Ensure
the container is big enough to
house the plants you wish to
grow. Patio planters come in a
range of colours and provide a
very effective planting option.
Drainage – All pots and containers
require drainage holes.
Don’t be fooled and think if there
are no holes it will save on watering.
The roots may drown or root
diseases will occur.
Choice – Plant choice is endless
so have fun and add your
personality to your combinations.
Bulbs, flowers and herbs make
brilliant planting combinations
with strong foliage plants. Change
them as often as you like.
Watering – Keep plants well
watered, seep watering a few
times a week is ideal. Light watering
daily encourages the roots to
stay near the surface, meaning the
plant may not be well anchored
in the pot and could blow over.
When pots and containers dry
out it’s very hard to get the moisture
back into the soil. Always
blend in re-wetting granules. It
enables the soil to retain moisture
and make it available to the
plants.
Feeding – Potting mixes will

need to be topped up with slow
release fertiliser each season to
ensure blooming results. Use a
controlled release plant food.
Movement – Twist your pots
and containers frequently to
ensure all sides get even amounts
of light.
Re-potting – Check potted
plants seasonally. The only sure
way to discover the state of the
roots is to remove the plant
and examine them carefully. If
fresh root tips are showing over
the surface of the root ball, or
forming a thick spiral at the base,
then re-potting into a larger
container is necessary. Containers
are versatile because they are
portable and easy to maintain. A
well planted and placed container
will last for years.

Mitsubishi Outlander Sport priced for value
CAR MAKERS have become
increasingly aware of the need for
safety.
I applaud that, and most of
the cars now sold new are high
on safety kit. Mitsubishi, in
particular, build with state-of-theart
passive and active elements.
However, there are some drivers
who don’t want or need all of the
trick warning features, and in most
cases manufacturers have offered
the function to switch many of
them off – lane departure warning,
blind spot monitoring, rear cross
traffic alert, to name a few.
Mitsubishi has gone one step
further, it has completely deleted
some of those electronic safety
elements from the Outlander, not
all variants, but a limited edition
Outlander Sport has arrived and
it sits a value-packed $39,990.
For the alarmists, that hasn’t
affected the Outlander’s excellent
five-star Australasian New Car
Assessment Program safety rating,
it is still intact, and if you have just
$40k to spend on an Outlander
and want those passive features,
the XLS has them, along with
VRX ($45k).
To my way of thinking, the
Outlander Sport is great buying,
and it would be the sport utility
vehicle for me, it is one which
allows the driver to trust his
own judgement around spatial
awareness.
The Outlander has been with us
Mirac – A Tribute to
Speedway Legend Ronnie
Moore
By Allan Batt
Reviewed by Ross Kiddie
WHEN I was a teenager and
living close to Templeton
Speedway (now Ruapuna),
Saturday night was always
speedway night.
That was during the 1970s, and
by that time solo motor-cycle
rider Ronnie Moore had already
since the early 2000s and, while it
has had several model lifecycles
along the way, the concept hasn’t
changed, it is the quintessential
SUV that has blitzed the New
Zealand new car market over the
years, and has been a popular
used Japanese import. It stands
out for its ease of use, practicality,
functionality and, what’s more, it’s
just a darn nice vehicle to drive, it
feels so right in all areas.
The new Sport is available
only as a limited edition model,
the first batch has a production
run of just 300 units, although
another shipment is likely to
follow.
The Sport is a four-wheel-drive
model and comes with seven seats
(fronts heated and electrically
adjustable), full leather trim,
electric sunroof, electric tailgate,
keyless entry and ignition, and
8in multi-media dashboard
display. It also gets extra cosmetic
treatment – big spoiler, 18in black
wheels, and a host of piano black
cosmetic trim detailing.
Elsewhere, the Outlander Sport
is the desirable SUV which I
mentioned in my introduction.
It has a comfortable interior
environment, and is spacious.
The cargo area measures up to
1608-litres, which is enough
capacity to carry those tricky
items we tend to move from time
to time such as the cardboard
box the Kiddie-household’s new
won two world championship
events.
I remember Moore vividly
at Templeton, along with other
Christchurch greats Barry Briggs,
and Ivan Mauger.
Moore had a characteristic style
and elegance on the cinders that
stood out from all others, and
the sight of those three riders
well distanced from the rest of
the field was recognition of their
talent and skills.
In total, Moore competed in 14
world championship events and
MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER SPORT: Bargain price at $39,990.
television came in.
While it carries a Sport badge,
mechanically the Outlander
retains the tried and true
powerplant which has essentially
served it since its introduction.
It’s a 2.4-litre four-cylinder petrol
engine (diesel available in other
variants), and is hooked to a
continuously variable automatic.
Mitsubishi claims 126kW
and 224Nm of torque from the
engine, these are par figures and
contribute to good performance
under all conditions – bearing in
mind that many SUVS are used
for towing, and the Outlander
in this form is rated with a
1600kg tow rating. In terms
of acceleration, there’s enough
strength from under the bonnet
to record a 9sec standstill to
100km/h time.
It is also an engine that has
been continually developed so
was podium placed several times.
He also claimed a multitude of
team tests wins, pairs and solos
globally. His comprehensive list
of achievements are documented
in Mirac.
Of course, Moore’s racing
pedigree wasn’t just confined
to speedway, he also competed
on four wheels and continued
the family legacy riding on the
legendary Wall of Death motorcycle
stunt show.
Mirac is a pictorial tribute
of the legend that is Ronnie
that fuel usage is minimised.
Mitsubishi also claims a
combined cycle average of
7.2-litres per 100km. That is
consistent with the fuel usage
readout in the evaluation car, it
was constantly sitting around
9l/100km during both inner city
driving and on a highway loop.
I used the roads near the
Selwyn River to evaluate the
Sport, it sits beautifully on the
road and whisks through the
air without overly noticeable
sound.
Power is channelled to the
front wheels – spreading to all
four when slippage up front is
detected. A centre console switch
can be pressed to dial in fullyengaged
four-wheel-drive and
centre diff lock.
I only left the seal for a short
excursion into the loose shingle.
SUVs aren’t really off-roaders
Moore, the title coming from the
nickname Moore earned through
performing miracles on a motorcycle.
Moore died in 2018, but his
legacy continues at Ronnie Moore
Park near West Melton, and Batt’s
tribute is also recognition of how
well Moore was regarded in the
speedway community.
Mirac has also reproduced
the Christchurch Star-Sun
newspaper poster recognising
Moore’s first world championship
win.

with undulating terrain with
confidence. It steers directly
in deep shingle and it has
suspension which absorbs well
ruts and corrugations.
Power is put to ground through
large 225/55 Toyo rubber. Such is
the level of grip and suspension
sophistication, the Outlander can
be driven enthusiastically on the
seal.
The Mitsubishi Motor
Corporation likes to have long
life-cycles for its models. I’m a big
believer in that. Too often good
cars aren’t with us long enough,
yet it’s fair to say the Outlander
has been kept fresh and modern
along the way, it is an example of
how well a vehicle can do with
solid engineering practices and
clever marketing.
I can’t help but think how
value-based the Sport model is, at
$40k it is a bargain. Those who do
get one of the 300 should be very
happy with it.

OLD BOYS RUGBY
ARGENTINA TRIP, FEBRUARY 2020
Old Boys chasing third title at Patagonia Cup
When the High School Old Boys rugby team heads to Argentina
this month for the Patagonia Cup, it will be for a tournament
that has grown from humble beginnings to a major southern
hemisphere sporting event.
In 1999, Old Boys answered the call for an international
challenger at the inaugural competition.
It came, it played, it conquered – and did so again at the
following tournament in 2001.
Since then it has been chasing a third elusive title. With a
string of finals appearances, this year will make an eleventh
consecutive crack at the cup. “We’ve got a very proud history in this
tournament, given we were the inaugural foreign team entered in
the competition,” says tour organiser Ken Pope.
Pope says the club has the talent to mount a serious challenge
and pull it off “but we’ve got our work cut out for us.”
“We’ve seen the skill levels gradually rising in the local game over
there but I think we’ve got the capability in our squad to compete.”
he says.
“There are some significant challenges to overcome if we are
to be successful. The impacts of long travel, changing time zones,
extremely hot conditions, the hard grounds and the different
refereeing styles and interpretations. Fortunately for us this is not an
unfamiliar environment to us and we can hopefully adapt and use
this to our advantage.”
This year, the Old Boys squad, made up
of 21 players from divisions 1 and 2 and
its colts grade, will benefit from the preseason
tour which will see them competing
against strong and much older opposition.
The tournament is based in the city
of Bahia Blanca, some 600 kilometres
south of the capital Buenos Aires. The
tournament kicks off on 18 February 2020
with the team likely to play 2 games on the opening day, two games
on the Thursday and a final on the Saturday. While the games are
shortened to 25 minutes each way there is a lot of rugby crammed
into a short timeframe.
This year, “the greatest little club in the world” will once again be
the only foreign side entered in the biennial tournament, although
Australian, South African, South American and American teams
have participated in past events.
In its 21-year history, the
Patagonia Cup has expanded from
rugby to include basketball, softball
and women’s hockey. In recognition
of the global growth of women’s
rugby they have integrated a
women’s 7’s competition this year.
Pope says the trip provides a
unique opportunity for our club
players and is a valuable cultural
and playing experience.
The touring side will be coached
by Jimmy Hema, who coaches the
Old Boys division 1 side and Craig
Blanchfield.
“It’s been a major undertaking
to once again get this across the line. It is an extremely expensive
place to get to and we couldn’t have done this without our
unwavering support of our friends, family, loyal sponsors, the club
and supporters,” Pope says.

• By Gordon Findlater
THE CRUSADERS are
coming off a rare defeat,
but they haven’t hit the
panic button this week
ahead of tomorrow night’s
match against the Blues in
Auckland.
Scott Robertson’s men
come into the round three
clash on the back of a frustrating
15-23 loss to the
Chiefs in Hamilton.
Robertson says the main
learnings from the game
are around momentum,
executing in critical moments
and making good
decisions – not only from
his players, but officials.
“We weren’t beaten on
effort it was just a couple of
details and calls that didn’t
go our way, and that’s
footy. They’re a good side
the Chiefs. It was really
important they win their
first game at home and
there was a lot of passion,”
said Robertson.
“We created a lot of
opportunities. It would
have been nice to have a
couple of decisions go our
way.”
Recent history would
have the Crusaders as
heavy favourites in Auckland.
The Crusaders have
defeated the Blues in their
last 10 Super Rugby meetings.
The last time they
came out on the wrong
side of the ledger was in
2014 when the Blues won
35-24 at Eden Park.
However, Robertson
believes the opening
two rounds of this year’s
competition has shown
what Blues are capable of,
particularly in the final 10
minutes of their 32-12 win
over the Warratahs at the
weekend.
“They can rip you apart.
They’ve got a lot of power
and they’re well structured,
Leon [McDonald] is
a good coach. We expect
nothing, but the best from
them. It’s a good rivalry,”
said Robertson.
The Crusaders will be
boosted by the return of

moved to Christchurch
almost seven years
ago and began playing
for New Brighton before
making his way through
the ranks.
“There was definitely no
expectations. I just kind of
came over for a little bit of
footy, to meet a new crowd
of people and be in a different
part of the world. I
guess when I got into the
academy and then went
through the Canterbury
team that’s when it started
becoming a bit of a dream.
But, when I first came over
playing for the Crusaders
wasn’t an expectation,”
said Jager.
The former Ireland under-18
schools’ rep says the
tutelage of playing under
Owen Franks has been a
key to his development.
One man who knows
what it’s like to play with
both well is hooker Codie
Taylor. He says there’s not
much difference between
the two.
“Ollie’s really stepped
up this year. He’s had a
couple of [injury] setbacks
over his career. I actually
remember when he
showed up in Christchurch
as an 18-year-old.
“He was playing
blindside flanker and I
thought he was probably
30 at that stage, the way
he looks. He’s a beast. He’s
strong, fit and eager to
learn which is awesome
to have when you lose
someone like Owen
Franks,” said Taylor.

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Panthers celebrate
club stalwart
• By Gordon Findlater
FORMER WARRIOR Corey
Lawrie is winding up for yet
another year of playing premier
grade league on the cusp of his
40th birthday.
For more than 20 years Lawrie
has been helping the Hornby
Panthers clubrooms make a
decent turnover after games.
However, on Saturday night it
could be his best effort yet when
around 200 people help him
celebrate his birthday there.
Following this weekend Saturdays
will soon return to a familiar
feel with Lawrie locked in for
another season with the Panthers
premier side. The second-rower
had planned to play his first campaign
in his 40s primarily from
the bench. However, the loss of
several players to Australia and
other clubs means he’s likely to
play a key role for the Panthers
once again.
“I think we’re still going to
have a very competitive team,
we’re just not going to have the
superstar power we had last year.
Sometimes that can be a good
thing because we have to change
the way we play and grind a wee
bit harder,” said Lawrie.
Lawrie began his career with
Hornby and made his premiers
debut as a 20-year-old. He was 27
when he made his NRL debut for
the Warriors in April 2007. He
played four first grade games that
year before spending a season in
England with Doncaster.
He hasn’t done too much
slowing down since then when it
comes to preparation. The Panthers
started preseason training
in mid-January. However, since
the completion of last year’s competition
Lawrie hasn’t taken his
foot off the throttle with around
two circuit and weight sessions
each week. He also credits his
day job as a scaffolder as playing
a role in staying fit.
“My preseason never stops. I’m
AGELESS: Scaffolding is keeping former Warriors player
Corey Lawrie fit ahead of his first season playing premier grade
in his 40s.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
like a dinosaur, if I stop training
I’ll become extinct. If I wasn’t
playing I’d go home, get fat and
be bored. It keeps me active and
keeps the kgs off.”
During his time with the
Panthers Lawrie has won five
Pat Smith Trophy grand-finals.
However, the last four years have
seen the Panthers defeated in
each grand-final by the Linwood
Keas. Although a rivalry has
grown between the two clubs in
that time he still rates Hornby’s
bitter rivalry with the Halswell
Hornets as his favourite.
The Panthers defeated the Hornets
in extra-time of consecutive
grand-finals in 2012 and 2013.
The peak of the rivalry also saw
an all-in brawl between the two
sides during a round-robin meeting
in 2013.
“I remember one game
Halswell got all of their old boys
down in one corner of the field.
I made a break and was about
to score a try. I got to about the
20-metre line and just looked towards
and gave them all the finger
before I scored,” said Lawrie.
“They came up to me after
the game and said ‘this is what
we love’. That’s what I love too,
after the game you’re all mates
and have a beer, but on the field
everyone likes a bit of niggle and
character.”
Lawrie says the landscape
of league in Christchurch has
changed since he first began
playing premiers and admits the
level of the competition isn’t as
high as it has been in the past.
“It’s just the number of players
in Christchurch these days.
When we were playing Bartercard
Cup everyone still had really
good premier teams all the way
through. Now if you’re a reasonable
player and keep yourself in
good nick you can still compete,
but the quality isn’t what it used
to be.”
This year may be Lawrie’s last
playing full-time for the premier
side, but he has a motivation
to keep lacing up the boots in
seasons to come. He hopes to
play senior rugby league with his
17-year-old son Jason - who will be
eligible to play seniors next year.
“I’d like to be able to play a
year or two alongside him in
reserve grade, that’s what I’m
aiming to get to,” said Lawrie.
Start thinking
outside the Boks
DO WE really need South
Africa?
If the Rugby World Cup
champions want to bugger
off to Europe and turn the six
nations into the seven nations
they can take their Super
Rugby teams with them.
At the weekend a UK tabloid
claimed that the Springboks
could be playing alongside the
current northern heavyweights
in an expanded competition as
soon as 2024.
The decision for South Africa
to align with Europe makes a
lot of sense not only when it
comes to timezones, but financially
as well.
It’s worth noting most of
the Six Nations players and
fans don’t want them and
who could argue with them.
It seems those in Europe have
cool enough heads to realise
if it’s not broken don’t fix it.
If only those same cool heads
could have been around when
we started adding extra teams
to Super Rugby for fun.
If South Africa were to go
the same two positives can be
said about New Zealand and
Australian rugby aligning with
Asia. In terms of the Rugby
Championship, adding Japan
in place of South Africa is a big
step down.
However, the loss of South
Africa’s four Super Rugby sides
and the addition of another
team in Asia could be the ticket
towards fixing the competition
which seems to lose more and
more relevance by the day.
It’s no secret that Asia
makes sense financially.
Unfortunately, for Super
Rugby the Sunwolves haven’t
One-eyed Cantab
Gordon Findlater
gordon.findlater@starmedia.kiwi
offered much in the way of
competitiveness. However, if
New Zealand Rugby was to
allow our top players to play
for the Asia franchises and still
be eligible for the All Blacks -
much like those given leeway
to play in Japan’s Top League
– the teams will not only gain
relevance competitively on the
field but financially in some of
the globes biggest markets.
We have nothing to gain
from the likes of Sam Whitelock
and Brodie Retallick playing
in the Top League.
However, if they were playing
for the likes of the Sunwolves
they would be bolstering the
stature of Super Rugby while
also being great marketing
tools for the All Blacks and
rugby as a whole in Japan or
China which would make sense
as a second Asian super rugby
destination.
The model of five New
Zealand, four Australian, an
Argentinian and two Asian
teams would also return the
competition to a 12 team and
11-week competition. If this
year’s model worked under the
same format it could still finish
on June 20, but would have
started at the end of March
rather than in January.
Yes South Africa would
be a big loss to the Rugby
Championship, but when it
comes to Super Rugby I’d
rather watch us play two Asian
teams – with a scattering
of New Zealand talent – in
a similar time-zone to us
than get up at 3am to watch
a South African team it feels
like we have no real rivalry
with because of the lopsided
conference system.

Rams hope to cover costs
with Breakers’ play-offs bid
• By Gordon Findlater
NO ONE in Christchurch has
been sweating on the Breakers
making their current last-gasp
push for the ANBL play-offs
than Canterbury Rams general
manager Caleb Harrison.
Harrison likely isn’t one of the
more die-hard Breakers supporters
in Christchurch, nor does he
have a gambling problem. However,
being responsible for bringing
the Breakers to Christchurch,
he’s had an invested interest in
Friday’s game being a do or die
encounter.
With the Breakers winning
their last three games on the trot
the stage is now set tomorrow
night at Horncastle Arena for
one of the Auckland based franchise’s
biggest matches in recent
history and tickets are selling
fast. They play the South East
Melbourne Phoenix in their final
round-robin match and need a
win to likely book a spot in the
play-offs.
“It’s been very stressful to say
the least. I’ve felt like I’ve been
part of the games,” said Harrison.
JACKPOT: Canterbury Rams manager Caleb Harrison is one
happy man after the Breakers remarkable late push for the
play-offs.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
If the Breakers were out of the
play-off picture there’s no denying
tomorrow’s game had the
potential to flop in terms of hype.
Harrison admits to being a
nervous wreck watching the
Breakers most recent 91-87 win
over the Brisbane Bullets last
Friday. He was anticipating the
Rams would be running the
Breakers game at a loss when
they fell behind by eight midway
through the third period, only
to haul themselves back into the
contest again.
Since the Breakers defeated the
Bullets to keep their season alive
around 400 tickets have sold
each day. As of 3pm Wednesday
there were fewer than 500 tickets
remaining.
With the costs of bringing the
game to Christchurch now looking
like they will be covered, future
high profile games in Christchurch
are looking more likely.
“It puts us in a position where
we can take further risks if
we’re going to recover our costs
which was looking questionable
before this play-off push,” said
Harrison.
In December, The Rams brought
the Breakers to Horncastle Arena
but were unable to recoup their
costs on that occasion with only
3400 tickets being sold.
“The big thing with it is the
kids in Christchurch get to see
these games. The real winners
are these 12 or 13-year-old kids
that can go along to a game now.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able
to see their heroes in person.”
The Rams are owned by
Caleb’s brother Andrew and
his wife Nicky, who resurrected
the team in 2014. Since then
the Rams have brought a
number of high profile games to
Christchurch including the Tall
Blacks’ Asia qualifying game
against Jordan in 2018 and the
NBL final four in 2019.

Show Homes - the ultimate way to shop around
In Christchurch and the surrounding
districts we are blessed with an extensive
array of very good quality show homes.
Building companies build show homes
to demonstrate their workmanship, display
innovative design ideas and present a
snapshot into a new and luxurious lifestyle
featuring all the latest in materials, fittings
and fixtures.
A show home can inspire you in a
way nothing else can. You can absorb
the ambiance they present, admire the

At a show home you can ask questions,
take notes and compare them to other
builders’ presentations. You don’t have to

in a glossy, you can simply see at a glance,
often instinctively, features you like, things
you would avoid and clever innovation that
you never would have thought of.
Best of all you will see the building
companies’ attention to detail, from design,
construction and finish through to interior
