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

HAVING A locomotive’s engine<br />
running next to your house at<br />
the crack of dawn would be a<br />
nightmare for most people.<br />
For Saman Farahani, it is a<br />
harsh reality he and his family<br />
face up to three times a week.<br />
His home on Lowe St in<br />
Addington sits right next to the<br />

Mr Farahani said over the<br />
past three months a train would<br />
occasionally stop between 6am<br />
and 6.30am and the locomotive’s<br />
engine would be idling outside<br />
the house.<br />
He said the combination of the<br />
noise and the shaking from the<br />
engine would wake up himself,<br />
his wife Sara and three-monthold<br />
daughter.<br />
He also said the smell of fumes<br />
fills up his house to the point<br />
where he cannot stop coughing.<br />
“First thing when I wake up, I<br />
cough because the house is full of<br />
the smell of gas,” he said.<br />
Mr Farahani said he was<br />
concerned for the health of his<br />
daughter.<br />
He said moving was not an<br />
option for him, with his tenancy<br />
contract at the property not running<br />
out until October.<br />

the house and the whole house<br />
will start shaking and it will be so<br />

primarily aimed at 16 to<br />

<strong>The</strong> programme provides a<br />
qualification for entry into higher<br />
education and is recognised by<br />
many universities worldwide.<br />
Emma chose to study IB at St<br />
Margaret’s College due to the<br />
global perspectvie the study<br />

covered, such as language and<br />
literature, language acquisition,<br />

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

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

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

as fire chiefs warned the public<br />
to stay away from areas they<br />
may not be able to escape from if<br />
a major fire breaks out.<br />
Days of hot temperatures late<br />
last month led to the warning,<br />

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

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

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

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

Event sponsor, ChristchurchNZ,<br />
said the display was<br />
cancelled “due to a number of<br />
reasons.”<br />

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

THREE MEN, three house fires<br />
and not enough time to get out.<br />
<strong>The</strong> result – they all died.<br />
Martin Schultz, Karl Blackett<br />
and Robert White’s deaths<br />
still remain at the forefront<br />
of the minds of Christchurch<br />
firefighters.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir deaths, along with<br />
many other fatalities around the<br />
country, have prompted a new<br />
educational promotion by Fire<br />
and Emergency New Zealand –<br />
Escape Week.<br />
<strong>The</strong> campaign, a first of its<br />
type, asks New Zealanders<br />
one simple question – are you<br />
prepared to escape in a house<br />
fire?<br />
FENZ is encouraging<br />
everyone to spend 5min creating<br />
a household fire escape plan,<br />
which involves a meeting point<br />
and more than one exit point.<br />
“Eighty to 90 per cent<br />
of families don’t have an<br />
escape plan,” senior fire risk<br />
management officer Bruce Irvine<br />
said.<br />
But while Mr Irvine believes<br />
it’s important for families<br />
to create to plan, he wants<br />
to emphasise how equally<br />
important it is for those not<br />
living in a tight-knit family<br />
unit.<br />

in the past 12 months<br />

FATALITY: FENZ is encouraging people who live in home<br />

comes after Karl Blackett died when a fire tore through his<br />
Shaw Ave boarding house last month.<br />

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

New signs<br />

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

Lack of condolence book for<br />
Mike Moore disappoints friend<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
A FRIEND of late prime<br />
minister Mike Moore thinks it<br />
is “damn rude” more was not<br />
done to commemorate him in<br />
Christchurch.<br />
Mr Moore, a long-serving<br />
Labour politician who served<br />
Christchurch as a member of<br />
Parliament for 21 years, representing<br />
Papanui, Christchurch<br />
North and Waimakariri, died at<br />
the age of 71 last Monday.<br />
A public funeral service will<br />
be held in Auckland tomorrow.<br />
Condolence books have been<br />
provided to the public at Parliament<br />
and will also be available at<br />
the funeral service. However, no<br />
condolence book will be available<br />
in Christchurch.<br />
Margaret Gibson who met Mr<br />
Moore through her husband<br />
Peter Gibson, who was involved<br />
in the Labour Party while Mr<br />
Moore was in office, said this was<br />
“damn rude.”<br />
“He was our Minister for 21<br />
years, surely somebody here should<br />
have done something,” she said.<br />
“We no longer matter,<br />
Christchurch no longer matters.”<br />
A Department of Internal Affairs<br />
visits and ceremonial office<br />
spokesman said this was normal<br />
practice. He said if any local<br />
government entity chose to open<br />
their own condolence book they<br />
would be welcome to do so.<br />
City council manager of civic<br />
and international relations Matt<br />
Nichols said the city council flew<br />
its flag at half-mast in acknowledgement<br />
of Mr Moore’s passing.<br />
He said the city council<br />
followed guidance from<br />
the department on whether<br />
condolence books are<br />
appropriate upon the death of<br />
prominent figures.<br />
chief executive Amy Carter’s<br />
$214,078 salary and six-month<br />
bonus package of $35,000.<br />
A further $73,000 went<br />
towards consultancy<br />
costs and other major<br />
costs included $81,000 on<br />
marketing and advertising<br />
and $58,000 on travel.<br />
Mayor Lianne Dalziel<br />
said a review of the city<br />
council’s contribution<br />
to the charity, which she and<br />
Deputy Mayor Andrew Turner<br />
are board members on, was currently<br />
under way.<br />
“We [the city council] would<br />
fund the start up for up<br />
to $600,000 a year for<br />
three years, subject to<br />
a review, that review is<br />
happening now,” she<br />
said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> foundation<br />
received more than $11<br />
million in donations<br />
and pledges last year,<br />
the majority of which followed<br />
the March 15 terrorist attacks.<br />
<strong>The</strong> funds are held in the<br />
Amy Carter<br />
Mike Moore<br />
Charity under city council review<br />
‘Our People, Our City’ fund for<br />
distribution to victims directly<br />
impacted by the attacks as well<br />
as to support higher education<br />
and training for children of<br />
the deceased and those injured<br />
under the age of 18.<br />
A sum of $2 million was paid<br />
out by the foundation in the<br />
2018/2019 financial year for the<br />
purchase of two ambulances for St<br />
John and distribution of $120,000<br />
of grocery and petrol vouchers. A<br />
further $6 million had been given<br />
out since July last year.<br />

named<br />
after $18m<br />
funding boost<br />
THREE footbridges, a riverside<br />
landing and a restored band<br />
rotunda are set to appear in<br />
Christchurch after millions of<br />
dollars in funding was approved<br />
for regeneration projects.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Earthquake Appeal Trust<br />
approved an $18 million package<br />
of grants to the city council<br />
and community groups, which<br />
includes $<strong>13</strong>,765,500 to kick-start<br />
infrastructure projects along the<br />
Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor.<br />
<strong>The</strong> projects in the red zone<br />
include three pedestrian/cycle<br />
bridges at Medway St, Snell Pl and<br />
in Aranui, and a riverside landing<br />
near Dallington.<br />
Mayor Lianne Dalziel said<br />
the trust’s funding for the<br />
regeneration area will greatly<br />
improve the connectivity<br />
of communities and begin<br />
transforming the Ōtākaro Avon<br />
River Corridor into a valuable<br />
asset for the community.<br />
<strong>The</strong> footbridges and Dallington<br />
landing will form part of a 350ha<br />
“green spine” running the length<br />
of the Ōtākaro Avon River from<br />
the city to the sea.<br />
It will eventually consist of<br />
seven riverside landings, formed<br />
and unformed walking and cycle<br />
trails, and native forest.<br />

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

VITTORIA LOVES music,<br />
singing and dancing.<br />
It’s very cool and I love catching<br />
her singing along to some<br />
song she’s made up when she<br />
doesn’t know I’m looking.<br />
And although I might not love<br />
it immediately, I quite enjoy<br />
it when she forces her singing<br />
upon me. Like at 6am.<br />
Over the last week there’s been<br />
a couple of days where I’ve been<br />
woken up by her climbing onto<br />
my head, leaning into my ear<br />
and belting out a (upon reflection)<br />
lovely rendition of the<br />
birthday song.<br />
She had first surprised me<br />
with her ability to sing the song,<br />
in its entirety, last week at her<br />
Nan’s house while I did some<br />
gardening. She was calmly sitting,<br />
eating some berries while I<br />
worked and just started singing<br />
along. I guess it makes sense,<br />
birthday season is still alive and<br />
kicking so she’s heard that song<br />
a heap.<br />
She’s also rediscovered an old<br />
favourite in Twinkle Twinkle<br />
Little <strong>Star</strong> with even more<br />
vigour that she can sing the<br />
VITTORIA<br />
& Matt<br />
Jamming along on the<br />
guitar with Grandad<br />
words as well as do the actions.<br />
Considering all that, it wasn’t<br />
a big surprise that she got so<br />
excited by the idea of adding<br />
in the sound of her Grandad’s<br />
guitars to her songs on Waitangi<br />
Day.<br />
We’d popped round for dinner<br />
and while we were there she<br />
grabbed the two he has in his<br />
lounge and dragged them over<br />
to the couch.<br />
She then handed one to her<br />
Grandad and kept one for<br />
herself to add twanging guitar<br />
strings to her birthday song, encouraging<br />
her Grandad to play<br />
along with her.<br />
It was great seeing them have<br />
a wee jam session together and<br />
Vittoria clearly enjoyed it.<br />
I might not remember<br />
anything about the lessons I<br />
had on those guitars, but it<br />
seems Vittoria might enjoy<br />
learning to use them properly in<br />
future.<br />

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

school. I got to the end of high<br />
school and I could have gone to<br />
uni to study business but instead,<br />
I kept pushing with Rollickin’.<br />
What do you like to do in your<br />
free time?<br />
I think the gym and exercise<br />
is good, I feel like I am a lot<br />
fresher after doing exercise. Also<br />
hanging with friends and family.<br />
Tramping as well, I have ticked<br />
off a lot of great walks of New<br />
Zealand, I decided to tick off one<br />
every year.<br />
What is your favourite part of<br />
the job?<br />
Just being able to do what I<br />
love, something I am so excited<br />
and passionate about every<br />
day and just working with<br />
such a great team. Being from<br />
Christchurch, starting from<br />
humble beginnings with a cart<br />
and now having three shops, it<br />
is just really cool to be growing<br />
something for Christchurch.<br />
What is your most popular<br />
flavour?<br />
At the moment, I would say<br />
probably cashew street, that is<br />
a flavour we released for the<br />
opening of our Cashel St store. It<br />
consists of dreamy caramel gelato<br />
with chunky sweet cashew pieces,<br />
dollops of dulce de leche and<br />
chocolate cashew cream.<br />
What is your personal<br />
favourite?<br />
My personal favourite would<br />
be, the bloomberry. So that is<br />
coconut and raspberry whipped<br />
into creamy pink gelato, swirled<br />
with sweet blueberry sauciness.<br />
It also has fluffy housemade<br />
vegan marshmallow, layered with<br />
chewy coconut cake pieces. I love<br />
that one because we are having a<br />
lot of fun with vegan flavours and<br />
WILDERNESS: Rollickin’<br />
Gelato owner Jed Joyce has<br />
been ticking off some of the<br />
great walks of New Zealand.<br />
it appeals to anyone, even those<br />
with dietary requirements.<br />
Talk me through how you<br />
make your gelato?<br />
We have got a team of about<br />
six or seven chefs and we<br />
meet every week. We plan our<br />
flavours, we switch out three<br />
flavours every two weeks. At our<br />
weekly meeting, we talk about<br />
customer feedback, often we get<br />
lots of customer requests around<br />
new flavours and we do a lot of<br />
research around that. We also<br />
discuss ideas from staff, we have<br />
about 35 employees now. On the<br />
production side of it, our chefs<br />
start at 3.30am that’s at New<br />
Regent and Cashel Sts. So that is<br />
two people, a baker and a gelato<br />
maker. <strong>The</strong> baker makes all the<br />
inclusions like the hokey pokey<br />
the brownie chunks, the vegan<br />
marshmallow and the sauces and<br />
the gelato maker is taking all the<br />
baker’s stuff like all the inclusions<br />
and turning it into gelato.<br />
Any exciting new flavours in<br />
the pipeline?<br />
For Valentine’s Day we do have<br />
a few. We have love me tinder,<br />
this has sweet strawberries and<br />
cream gelato, with even more<br />
tempting strawberry layers and<br />
dark chocolate. We also will have<br />
my cookie, which is salty caramel<br />
gelato with dripping choccy<br />
fudge sauciness and a smashing<br />
trio of all your cookie favourites<br />
with chunks of housemade choc<br />
chip cookies, cookie dough and<br />
Oreos. <strong>The</strong> perfect healer for<br />
unrequited love. Finally, we have<br />
the butter me up, creamy dreamy<br />
butterscotch gelato stacked<br />
with house-made sticky date<br />
and dripping layers of orange<br />
butterscotch sauciness.<br />
How is the new store on<br />
Cashel St going?<br />
It is going good, it is going<br />
really well. Basically, because I<br />
have been doing it for six years,<br />
the whole point of Cashel St<br />
was to lift our dessert game.<br />
In New Regent St our kitchen<br />
was completely maxed out so to<br />
lift our game we needed more<br />
kitchen space. We have got some<br />
more kitchen space now and the<br />
whole team can’t wait to take<br />
things to the next level.<br />
Do you have any other plans<br />
in terms of expanding the<br />
business?<br />
Not at this point. Maybe once<br />
we have caught our breath we<br />
will have a plan. Like me, the<br />
whole team is young so everyone<br />
has exciting ideas about what to<br />
do next, so there is so much we<br />
could do, but no official plans as<br />

“A local team for local people”
Thursday <strong>February</strong> <strong>13</strong> <strong>2020</strong> <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />
A BIG THING that bugs people<br />
when they go into the central<br />
city is the cost of on-street car<br />
parking.<br />
It is currently $3.10 an hour,<br />
a real put off for most. <strong>The</strong>re<br />
are cheaper options such as the<br />
multi-level car parks, which<br />
are quite reasonable. But if you<br />
want to leave the car north of<br />
the square then you have few<br />
choices.<br />
Now the city council wants to<br />
increase the hourly charge to $4.<br />
That’s crazy.<br />
Central city businesses are<br />
understandably arching up. City<br />
councillor James Gough is also<br />
arching up.<br />
Some parts of the central<br />
city are stagnating as the big<br />
developments such as Riverside<br />
Market, and <strong>The</strong> Terrace attract<br />
people and their dollars. <strong>The</strong><br />
cafes and bars and the market<br />
are busy, busy.<br />
Drive along Victoria St and<br />
Readers react to a city<br />
council plan which could<br />
see parts of Summit Rd<br />
closed at night. <strong>The</strong> plan<br />
comes in the aftermath of<br />
the deaths of sisters Tayla<br />
and Sunmara Alexander<br />
in a car crash last year<br />
Kit Chambers – I cannot<br />
understand the ridiculous<br />
other parts of the central city on<br />
a Saturday or Sunday for lunch<br />
or a bite in the early evening and<br />
you generally won’t have any<br />
problem getting a table – or a<br />
car park.<br />
I can’t vouch for what happens<br />
late at night in those locations;<br />
my night owl days appear to be<br />
long gone.<br />
So if car parking goes up to $4<br />
an hour it will be even less of an<br />
incentive for people to go into<br />
town.<br />
Gough told his fellow city<br />
councillors at a meeting this<br />
week implementing such a plan<br />
flies in the face of what the<br />
comments of Cr Davidson that<br />
a decision would have to go out<br />
for public consultation before a<br />
recommendation can be reached.<br />
That will take months to resolve.<br />
He is the chairman of<br />
development and transport and<br />
he and his committee only have<br />
to make a decision and have the<br />
guts to say close the Summit<br />
Rd from 9pm to 6am every<br />

IT HAS been frightening<br />
to watch the impact of what<br />
has been described as an<br />
“infodemic” in the wake of the<br />
Coronavirus outbreak.<br />
<strong>The</strong> World Health Organisation<br />
(WHO) has spoken out<br />
about how all the myths, rumours<br />
and conspiracy theories<br />
make it hard for people to find<br />
trustworthy sources and reliable<br />
guidance when it’s needed.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are working with their<br />
partners 24-hours a day to identify<br />
the most prevalent rumours<br />
that can potentially harm the<br />
public’s health, such as false prevention<br />
measures or cures. <strong>The</strong>se<br />
myths are then refuted with<br />
evidence‐based information.<br />
Fortunately, we know we can<br />
rely on the Ministry of Health<br />
website for up-to-the-minute<br />
advice: www.health.govt.nz/ourwork/diseases-and-conditions/<br />
novel-coronavirus-2019-ncov.<br />
<strong>The</strong> fact is that although the<br />
likelihood of an imported case<br />
in New Zealand remains high,<br />
From the<br />

Barry Clarke<br />
Mayor<br />
Lianne Dalziel<br />
council is currently trying to<br />
achieve – bring more people into<br />
the central city.<br />
Bars and cafes are closing at<br />
an alarming rate; the post-quake<br />
boom in Victoria St and other<br />
areas for that industry appears<br />
to be over.<br />
Riverside and <strong>The</strong> Terrace<br />
are also right in the zone for<br />
tourists; some of the other areas<br />
which once boomed now appear<br />
to be off-the-beaten track.<br />
As bars and cafes in those areas<br />
try ways of getting the business<br />
with GrabOne and other<br />
deals, what they don’t need are<br />
more barriers to getting people<br />
the likelihood of a widespread<br />
outbreak remains low.<br />
Sadly, factual posts cannot<br />
keep up with the sheer volume of<br />
misinformation. <strong>The</strong> impact on<br />
our own residents and citizens<br />
who have an Asian background<br />
is horrifying. Some have told me<br />
they have stayed at home rather<br />
than to be told to ‘go home’ by<br />
night from Kiwi to Rapaki and<br />
the same from Kiwi around to<br />
Gibraltar Rock.<br />
Issue a system where there<br />
is a scanning card issued to<br />
any residents so they can get<br />
in and out if required. Also for<br />
emergency services.<br />

Battling against misinformation<br />
someone who means not their<br />

Some people think this behaviour<br />
is ok. It’s not.<br />
Just think of the time of<br />
the year, with hundreds of<br />
thousands of people travelling<br />
home as they traditionally do for<br />
Chinese New Year.<br />
Just think of those who have<br />
settled here and have family in<br />
China, especially Wuhan. Think<br />
how they are feeling.<br />
This is a time for us to offer<br />
encouragement and support for<br />
these members of our community,<br />
many of whom will be feeling<br />
anxious and fearful. It is a time for<br />
kindness and understanding.<br />
lose these children would be<br />
hard. But this does not warrant<br />
the closing of a road which if<br />
driven at a sensible speed is not<br />
that dangerous.<br />
People would be required to<br />
take a long windy road to get to<br />
Governors Bay and beyond and<br />
the businesses over there would<br />
suffer. Speed bumps could help<br />
slow the idiot drivers.<br />
OPINION 15<br />
<strong>The</strong> coming week<br />
in our history<br />
<strong>February</strong> <strong>13</strong>, 1983: Lance<br />
Cairns hits six sixes against<br />
Australia at the Melbourne<br />
Cricket Ground. Fast bowler<br />
Dennis Lillee welcomed him to<br />
the crease by hitting him on the<br />
head. Cairns was dismissed for 52<br />
from 25 balls. New Zealand lost<br />
the match by 149 runs, but those<br />
gigantic hits live on in memory.<br />
<strong>February</strong> 14, 1998: Te Papa<br />
officially opened on Wellington’s<br />
waterfront after a decade of<br />
planning and construction.<br />
<strong>February</strong> 15, 1978: New<br />
Zealand beat England for the<br />
first time the Basin Reserve.<br />
Needing only <strong>13</strong>7 in their second<br />
innings to win, the English were<br />
dismissed for just 64. Richard<br />
Hadlee took six wickets for 26<br />
runs and went on to become New<br />
Zealand’s greatest wicket-taker<br />
in tests.<br />
<strong>February</strong> 16, 1770: James<br />
Cook sights Banks ‘Island’ (now<br />
known as Banks Peninsula).<br />
Cook concluded that the land he<br />
had sighted was an island and<br />
named it after the expedition’s<br />
botanist, Joseph Banks. <strong>The</strong><br />
mistake was not realised until<br />
1809, when Captain Samuel<br />
Chase of the Pegasus tried to sail<br />
between Banks ‘Island’ and the<br />
Canterbury mainland.<br />
<strong>February</strong> 17, 1873:<br />
Aucklanders awoke to the<br />
alarming news that a Russian<br />
warship had entered Auckland<br />
Harbour undetected and landed<br />
troops. But it was a newspaper<br />
hoax aimed at boosting sales.<br />
<strong>February</strong> 18, 1982: Dame<br />
Ngaio Marsh, one of the ‘Queens<br />
of Crime’ in the 1920s and 1930s,<br />
died just weeks after submitting<br />
her 32nd detective novel, Light<br />
Thickens, to her publishers.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> Thursday <strong>February</strong> <strong>13</strong> <strong>2020</strong><br />
Overreaction to Coronavirus<br />
Adds Salt to Wound<br />
<strong>The</strong> decision of New Zealand<br />
government to place temporary<br />
restrictions to refuse entry of any<br />
foreign travellers who leave or<br />
transit through mainland China<br />
after 2 <strong>February</strong> <strong>2020</strong> as a measure<br />
to prevent 2019-nCoV has aroused<br />
concerns. While it is understandable<br />
for countries to take necessary and<br />
proportionate measures against the<br />
outbreak, these measures should<br />
be based on scientific evidence<br />
or recommendations from World<br />
Health Organization (WHO).<br />
<strong>The</strong> decision to close borders,<br />
unwarranted by current situation,<br />
is disrupting normal personnel<br />
exchanges and practical cooperation<br />
in various areas, and in some sense<br />
is unnecessarily causing negative<br />
impacts, like adding salt to the<br />
wound.<br />
It came at the worst timing<br />
coinciding with the peak tourism<br />
season and the start of new<br />
semester. Chinese visitors and<br />
students are not the only ones<br />
adversely affected by the entry ban.<br />
It is estimated that halting Chinese<br />
tourists for two weeks is to leave a<br />
nearly 100 million hole in tourism<br />
earnings of New Zealand resulting<br />
in job losses. <strong>The</strong> credibility of New<br />
Zealand education institutions<br />
is being harmed. In addition<br />
to economic exchanges, the<br />
repercussion is hampering the<br />
friendly ties between our peoples<br />
and may undermine mutual trust in<br />
the long run. We are also concerned<br />
with recent cases of xenophobia<br />
and racism which might be further<br />
inflamed by such an excessive<br />
measure, spreading the more<br />
dangerous “virus of hatred” which<br />
was the main cause of the tragic<br />
Christchurch shooting incident a<br />
year ago.<br />
WHO has made it clear that no<br />
travel or trade restrictions against<br />
China are recommended at this<br />
stage. It has reiterated their call<br />
to all countries not to impose<br />
restrictions inconsistent with<br />
International Health Regulations.<br />
Director General Dr. Tedros said<br />
such restrictions can have the effect<br />
of increasing fear and stigma, with<br />
little public health benefit. He urged<br />
relevant parties to take actions<br />
commensurate with public health<br />
risks only and make adjustment<br />
accordingly. WHO spokesperson<br />
Christian Lindmeier also echoed<br />
that proper surveillance to check<br />
the health of incoming travellers<br />
would be more appropriate.<br />
In fact, there shall be no reason to<br />
panic or overreact if an objective<br />
and accurate analysis of the current<br />
situation is made. <strong>The</strong> momentum<br />
of spreading has been effectively<br />
curbed both within and outside<br />
China with unprecedented domestic<br />
control. 99% of the 2019-nCoV<br />
cases are contained in China,<br />
and 97% of deaths are in Hubei<br />
Province. So far the disease only<br />
caused one death outside China<br />
and the patient was from also<br />
Wuhan. In terms of the case-fatality,<br />
rate of 2019-nCoV is 2% and<br />
comparatively much lower than that<br />
of other epidemics such as Ebola<br />
(40%), Mers (35%), H1N1(17.4%)<br />
and Sars (10%).<br />
It is also important to avoid double<br />
standards. <strong>The</strong> current flu season in<br />
the US has already caused infections<br />
of 19 million people and 10<br />
thousand deaths without triggering<br />
adequate prevention measures<br />
from US government. During the<br />
2009 H1N1 outbreak which also<br />
emerged in the US, no country has<br />
closed their borders to American<br />
travellers though it was defined as<br />
an international emergency global<br />
pandemic. I still recall it took six<br />
months for the US government to<br />
declare a national emergency at<br />
then. Ironically, the US took lead in<br />
overreacting to the coronavirus so<br />
aggressively this time.<br />
China is mobilizing resources<br />
nationwide to contain the outbreak,<br />
and we are fighting with the<br />
international community on our<br />
side. <strong>The</strong> UN Secretary General<br />
and WHO Director-General have<br />
applauded China’s forceful measures<br />
and expressed confidence in the<br />
ability of the Chinese government to<br />
prevail over the epidemic. Leaders<br />
of many countries have expressed<br />
their support and sympathies for<br />
China. I have once and again been<br />
moved by the encouraging words<br />
from local friends in all circles<br />
demonstrating solidarity with<br />
Chinese people at this difficult<br />
moment.<br />
<strong>The</strong> epidemic is only temporary<br />
while friendship and cooperation<br />
will stay in the long run. We can<br />
only defeat this outbreak with global<br />
solidarity. China is committed to<br />
working with all other countries<br />
including New Zealand to tide over<br />
the difficulties, prevail over the<br />
outbreak, and ensure the health and<br />
safety of each and every member of<br />
our community with a shared future<br />
for mankind.<br />

THEATRE/ARTS<br />
Listen to British star’s<br />
acting career – and a<br />
worthy cause will benefit<br />
British stage, film<br />
and television<br />
actor David Suchet<br />
will arrive in the<br />
city next week<br />
to reflect on his<br />
successful career<br />
and to revisit some<br />
of his most iconic<br />
roles. He spoke to<br />
Georgia O’Connor-<br />
Harding<br />
“I THINK we all worship<br />
our own God and if our<br />
God is money then hey,<br />
perhaps we are willing to<br />
commit suicide in order<br />
to serve that God but I say<br />
open your eyes and wake<br />
up.”<br />
That is English Emmy<br />
award-winning actor<br />
David Suchet’s – the star of<br />
the long-running British<br />
mystery drama television<br />
series Agatha Christie’s<br />
Poirot – outlook on global<br />
warming.<br />
It is also the reason why<br />
a proportion of the proceeds<br />
from ticket sales<br />
during his upcoming tour<br />
of New Zealand has gone<br />
to supporting Australia’s<br />
bush fire relief effort.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 73-year-old British<br />
star will fly into the city on<br />
Tuesday to tell the story<br />
of his career in film and<br />
stage at the town hall as<br />
part of his show David<br />
Suchet: Poirot & More: A<br />
Retrospective.<br />
Suchet is one of many<br />
international celebrities<br />
to donate and speak out<br />
about the bush fires.<br />
It comes as Australia is<br />
the world’s third-largest<br />
exporter of fossil carbon,<br />
and with 53 new coal mines<br />
proposed. <strong>The</strong> Australian<br />
government plans to double<br />
its existing production by<br />
2030.<br />
“We want Australia to<br />
feel that even though this<br />
is a British show, we are<br />
giving to Australia. It is an<br />
indication of how important<br />
we feel this tragedy<br />
that has happened should<br />
awaken global awareness,”<br />
Suchet said.<br />
For 25 years Suchet<br />
played the Belgian detective<br />
Hercule Poirot –<br />
performing in all 74 Poirot<br />
television movies before it<br />
ended in 20<strong>13</strong>.<br />
But although he acknowledged<br />
he may be<br />
remembered for his role as<br />
Poirot – as it has been seen<br />
by more than 750 million<br />
people worldwide, he said<br />
“one of the gifts the industry”<br />
is he has never been<br />
tied down to the role.<br />
<strong>The</strong> London-born<br />
actor has played many<br />
iconic roles including Lady<br />
Bracknell in <strong>The</strong> Importance<br />
of Being Earnest,<br />
Cardinal Benelli in <strong>The</strong><br />
Last Confession and Freud<br />
in the show of the same<br />
name – and will be discussing<br />
some of these roles<br />
as part of his show.<br />
“I am hoping audiences<br />
will take away quite a lot.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y will take away my<br />
early life, take away my<br />
early career – my drama<br />
school, my early repertory<br />
Heat Pump Specials<br />
Are you too hot?<br />

ICONIC: British actor<br />
David Suchet will<br />
reflect on his career<br />
– including playing<br />
detective Hercule<br />
Poirot.<br />
theatre experiences, my<br />
experience with the <strong>13</strong><br />
years with (<strong>The</strong> Royal)<br />
Shakespeare Company.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> climax of the show<br />
will be me showing and<br />
describing in detail how I<br />
put together the wonderful<br />
character of Hercule<br />
Poirot.”<br />
In a bid to inspire<br />
the next generation of<br />
Christchurch artists,<br />
Suchet said he is hoping<br />
the city’s young and senior<br />
actors along with writers<br />
will be sitting in the<br />
audience.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> opportunities are<br />
out there and I just want to<br />
encourage my profession,<br />
the youth of my profession<br />
to take it very seriously and<br />
keep training.<br />
“It is a very difficult<br />
profession, I have had my<br />
periods of unemployment<br />
like everybody else.’’<br />
But Suchet said,<br />
hopefully with a good<br />
agent and enough<br />
opportunity a young actor<br />
should not be discouraged.<br />
•David Suchet:<br />
Poirot & More: A<br />
Retrospective will<br />
be staged at the<br />
Christchurch Town<br />
Hall on <strong>February</strong> 19.<br />

might be the best time to do this. <strong>The</strong> best surface to run on is soft, like grass, sand or gravel; it is easier on the legs so try and<br />
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<br />
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<br />
out and back for as far as you can comfortably go. Once you have mastered this track you can venture beyond anywhere in the<br />
port hills. Jogging on the Port Hills walking tracks takes a bit of concentration as the terrain underfoot can be uneven. Walking<br />
or jogging and running uphill will automatically increase the intensity a fraction because you use larger muscle groups. It is a<br />
type of endurance training which will accelerate your strength and fitness with incredible views of our beautiful city as an extra<br />
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<br />
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<br />
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<br />
an attractive option for a workout. <strong>The</strong> soft sand will add an extra dimension and help the strength development. On hot days go<br />
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<br />
in the crown as far as parks go with lots of variety and enough options never to have to do the same route.<br />

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

GARDENING 23<br />
GARDENING ADVICE<br />
Today’s winning question<br />
came from June Commons.<br />
Congratulations!<br />
Some of the fruit on my peach<br />
Q tree has mould. <strong>The</strong> fruit<br />
affected is all well placed on the<br />
branches and not too close<br />
together. What can I do to prevent this<br />
happening next season as well?<br />
A<br />
Unfortunately, some years and on some peach trees, the fruit<br />
will show signs of signifi cant mould while still on the tree. It<br />
is very frustrating, especially when there is a good crop of<br />
peaches!<br />
A peach tree’s natural form is very crowded and dense, and this leads<br />
to a loss of air movement and less sunlight reaching the fruit - both<br />
contributing to mould developing.<br />
To lessen the chances of this happening in future years, signifi cant<br />
winter pruning is required to ensure there is plenty of space between<br />
the main branches and that smaller side branches growing inward are<br />
completely removed. Be meticulous in removing any mummifi ed i.e. old,<br />
dead fruit that is sometimes left on the tree in late summer.<br />
In spring, fertilise with fruit tree fertilisers to ensure the tree is growing<br />
vigorously and mulch as summer arrives to help retain soil moisture.<br />
Do not grow other large bushes or trees too close to the peach tree as this<br />
will reduce air movement through the existing peach tree<br />
and contribute to the problem.<br />
Products to try are Daltons Garden Time Fruit &<br />
Citrus Fertiliser and Daltons Mulch & Grow.<br />

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

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

Mitsubishi Outlander Sport priced for value<br />
CAR MAKERS have become<br />
increasingly aware of the need for<br />
safety.<br />
I applaud that, and most of<br />
the cars now sold new are high<br />
on safety kit. Mitsubishi, in<br />
particular, build with state-of-theart<br />
passive and active elements.<br />
However, there are some drivers<br />
who don’t want or need all of the<br />
trick warning features, and in most<br />
cases manufacturers have offered<br />
the function to switch many of<br />
them off – lane departure warning,<br />
blind spot monitoring, rear cross<br />
traffic alert, to name a few.<br />
Mitsubishi has gone one step<br />
further, it has completely deleted<br />
some of those electronic safety<br />
elements from the Outlander, not<br />
all variants, but a limited edition<br />
Outlander Sport has arrived and<br />
it sits a value-packed $39,990.<br />
For the alarmists, that hasn’t<br />
affected the Outlander’s excellent<br />
five-star Australasian New Car<br />
Assessment Program safety rating,<br />
it is still intact, and if you have just<br />
$40k to spend on an Outlander<br />
and want those passive features,<br />
the XLS has them, along with<br />
VRX ($45k).<br />
To my way of thinking, the<br />
Outlander Sport is great buying,<br />
and it would be the sport utility<br />
vehicle for me, it is one which<br />
allows the driver to trust his<br />
own judgement around spatial<br />
awareness.<br />

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

• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 9sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 7.2l/100km<br />
as such, but with 190mm of<br />
ground clearance the Outlander<br />
does have genuine cross-country<br />
ability, it can be presented<br />
with undulating terrain with<br />
confidence. It steers directly<br />
in deep shingle and it has<br />
suspension which absorbs well<br />
ruts and corrugations.<br />
Power is put to ground through<br />
large 225/55 Toyo rubber. Such is<br />
the level of grip and suspension<br />
sophistication, the Outlander can<br />
be driven enthusiastically on the<br />
seal.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Mitsubishi Motor<br />
Corporation likes to have long<br />
life-cycles for its models. I’m a big<br />
believer in that. Too often good<br />
cars aren’t with us long enough,<br />
yet it’s fair to say the Outlander<br />
has been kept fresh and modern<br />
along the way, it is an example of<br />
how well a vehicle can do with<br />
solid engineering practices and<br />
clever marketing.<br />
I can’t help but think how<br />
value-based the Sport model is, at<br />
$40k it is a bargain. Those who do<br />
get one of the 300 should be very<br />
happy with it.<br />

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

THE CRUSADERS are<br />
coming off a rare defeat,<br />
but they haven’t hit the<br />
panic button this week<br />
ahead of tomorrow night’s<br />
match against the Blues in<br />
Auckland.<br />
Scott Robertson’s men<br />
come into the round three<br />
clash on the back of a frustrating<br />
15-23 loss to the<br />
Chiefs in Hamilton.<br />
Robertson says the main<br />
learnings from the game<br />
are around momentum,<br />
executing in critical moments<br />
and making good<br />
decisions – not only from<br />
his players, but officials.<br />
“We weren’t beaten on<br />
effort it was just a couple of<br />
details and calls that didn’t<br />
go our way, and that’s<br />
footy. <strong>The</strong>y’re a good side<br />
the Chiefs. It was really<br />
important they win their<br />
first game at home and<br />
there was a lot of passion,”<br />
said Robertson.<br />
“We created a lot of<br />
opportunities. It would<br />
have been nice to have a<br />
couple of decisions go our<br />
way.”<br />
Recent history would<br />
have the Crusaders as<br />
heavy favourites in Auckland.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Crusaders have<br />
defeated the Blues in their<br />
last 10 Super Rugby meetings.<br />
<strong>The</strong> last time they<br />
came out on the wrong<br />
side of the ledger was in<br />
2014 when the Blues won<br />
35-24 at Eden Park.<br />
However, Robertson<br />
believes the opening<br />
two rounds of this year’s<br />
competition has shown<br />
what Blues are capable of,<br />
particularly in the final 10<br />
minutes of their 32-12 win<br />
over the Warratahs at the<br />
weekend.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y can rip you apart.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y’ve got a lot of power<br />
and they’re well structured,<br />
Leon [McDonald] is<br />
a good coach. We expect<br />
nothing, but the best from<br />
them. It’s a good rivalry,”<br />
said Robertson.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Crusaders will be<br />
boosted by the return of<br />
IRISHMAN: Oliver Jager (left) will make his third<br />
consecutive start at tighthead prop for the<br />
Crusaders.<br />
PHOTOS: GETTY<br />
Richie Mo’unga. His selection<br />
in the 10 jersey sees<br />
David Havili move back to<br />
fullback and Will Jordan<br />
move to the bench. In the<br />
forwards Whetu Douglas<br />
is out after breaking two<br />
fingers. His absence means<br />
Timaru youngster Cullen<br />
Grace will get the start<br />
at six with Tom Sanders<br />
moving to No 8.<br />
Tighthead prop Oliver<br />
Jager will start his third<br />
straight game for the<br />
Crusaders in what is<br />
already becoming his most<br />
involved season for the<br />
Crusaders since earning a<br />
Super Rugby contract in<br />
2017.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 24-year-old Irishman<br />
moved to Christchurch<br />
almost seven years<br />
ago and began playing<br />
for New Brighton before<br />
making his way through<br />
the ranks.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>re was definitely no<br />
expectations. I just kind of<br />
came over for a little bit of<br />
footy, to meet a new crowd<br />
of people and be in a different<br />
part of the world. I<br />
guess when I got into the<br />
academy and then went<br />
through the Canterbury<br />
team that’s when it started<br />
becoming a bit of a dream.<br />
But, when I first came over<br />
playing for the Crusaders<br />
wasn’t an expectation,”<br />
said Jager.<br />
<strong>The</strong> former Ireland under-18<br />
schools’ rep says the<br />
tutelage of playing under<br />
Owen Franks has been a<br />
key to his development.<br />
One man who knows<br />
what it’s like to play with<br />
both well is hooker Codie<br />
Taylor. He says there’s not<br />
much difference between<br />
the two.<br />
“Ollie’s really stepped<br />
up this year. He’s had a<br />
couple of [injury] setbacks<br />
over his career. I actually<br />
remember when he<br />
showed up in Christchurch<br />
as an 18-year-old.<br />
“He was playing<br />
blindside flanker and I<br />
thought he was probably<br />
30 at that stage, the way<br />
he looks. He’s a beast. He’s<br />
strong, fit and eager to<br />
learn which is awesome<br />
to have when you lose<br />
someone like Owen<br />
Franks,” said Taylor.<br />

Panthers celebrate<br />
club stalwart<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
FORMER WARRIOR Corey<br />
Lawrie is winding up for yet<br />
another year of playing premier<br />
grade league on the cusp of his<br />
40th birthday.<br />
For more than 20 years Lawrie<br />
has been helping the Hornby<br />
Panthers clubrooms make a<br />
decent turnover after games.<br />
However, on Saturday night it<br />
could be his best effort yet when<br />
around 200 people help him<br />
celebrate his birthday there.<br />
Following this weekend Saturdays<br />
will soon return to a familiar<br />
feel with Lawrie locked in for<br />
another season with the Panthers<br />
premier side. <strong>The</strong> second-rower<br />
had planned to play his first campaign<br />
in his 40s primarily from<br />
the bench. However, the loss of<br />
several players to Australia and<br />
other clubs means he’s likely to<br />
play a key role for the Panthers<br />
once again.<br />
“I think we’re still going to<br />
have a very competitive team,<br />
we’re just not going to have the<br />
superstar power we had last year.<br />
Sometimes that can be a good<br />
thing because we have to change<br />
the way we play and grind a wee<br />
bit harder,” said Lawrie.<br />
Lawrie began his career with<br />
Hornby and made his premiers<br />
debut as a 20-year-old. He was 27<br />
when he made his NRL debut for<br />
the Warriors in April 2007. He<br />
played four first grade games that<br />
year before spending a season in<br />
England with Doncaster.<br />
He hasn’t done too much<br />
slowing down since then when it<br />
comes to preparation. <strong>The</strong> Panthers<br />
started preseason training<br />
in mid-January. However, since<br />
the completion of last year’s competition<br />
Lawrie hasn’t taken his<br />
foot off the throttle with around<br />
two circuit and weight sessions<br />
each week. He also credits his<br />
day job as a scaffolder as playing<br />
a role in staying fit.<br />
“My preseason never stops. I’m<br />
AGELESS: Scaffolding is keeping former Warriors player<br />

in his 40s.<br />

like a dinosaur, if I stop training<br />
I’ll become extinct. If I wasn’t<br />
playing I’d go home, get fat and<br />
be bored. It keeps me active and<br />
keeps the kgs off.”<br />
During his time with the<br />
Panthers Lawrie has won five<br />
Pat Smith Trophy grand-finals.<br />
However, the last four years have<br />
seen the Panthers defeated in<br />
each grand-final by the Linwood<br />
Keas. Although a rivalry has<br />
grown between the two clubs in<br />
that time he still rates Hornby’s<br />
bitter rivalry with the Halswell<br />
Hornets as his favourite.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Panthers defeated the Hornets<br />
in extra-time of consecutive<br />
grand-finals in 2012 and 20<strong>13</strong>.<br />
<strong>The</strong> peak of the rivalry also saw<br />
an all-in brawl between the two<br />
sides during a round-robin meeting<br />
in 20<strong>13</strong>.<br />
“I remember one game<br />
Halswell got all of their old boys<br />
down in one corner of the field.<br />
I made a break and was about<br />
to score a try. I got to about the<br />
20-metre line and just looked towards<br />
and gave them all the finger<br />
before I scored,” said Lawrie.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y came up to me after<br />
the game and said ‘this is what<br />
we love’. That’s what I love too,<br />
after the game you’re all mates<br />
and have a beer, but on the field<br />
everyone likes a bit of niggle and<br />
character.”<br />
Lawrie says the landscape<br />
of league in Christchurch has<br />
changed since he first began<br />
playing premiers and admits the<br />
level of the competition isn’t as<br />
high as it has been in the past.<br />
“It’s just the number of players<br />
in Christchurch these days.<br />
When we were playing Bartercard<br />
Cup everyone still had really<br />
good premier teams all the way<br />
through. Now if you’re a reasonable<br />
player and keep yourself in<br />
good nick you can still compete,<br />
but the quality isn’t what it used<br />
to be.”<br />
This year may be Lawrie’s last<br />
playing full-time for the premier<br />
side, but he has a motivation<br />
to keep lacing up the boots in<br />
seasons to come. He hopes to<br />
play senior rugby league with his<br />
17-year-old son Jason - who will be<br />
eligible to play seniors next year.<br />
“I’d like to be able to play a<br />
year or two alongside him in<br />
reserve grade, that’s what I’m<br />
aiming to get to,” said Lawrie.<br />
<strong>Star</strong>t thinking<br />
outside the Boks<br />
DO WE really need South<br />
Africa?<br />
If the Rugby World Cup<br />
champions want to bugger<br />
off to Europe and turn the six<br />
nations into the seven nations<br />
they can take their Super<br />
Rugby teams with them.<br />
At the weekend a UK tabloid<br />
claimed that the Springboks<br />
could be playing alongside the<br />
current northern heavyweights<br />
in an expanded competition as<br />
soon as 2024.<br />
<strong>The</strong> decision for South Africa<br />
to align with Europe makes a<br />
lot of sense not only when it<br />
comes to timezones, but financially<br />
as well.<br />
It’s worth noting most of<br />
the Six Nations players and<br />
fans don’t want them and<br />
who could argue with them.<br />
It seems those in Europe have<br />
cool enough heads to realise<br />
if it’s not broken don’t fix it.<br />
If only those same cool heads<br />
could have been around when<br />
we started adding extra teams<br />
to Super Rugby for fun.<br />
If South Africa were to go<br />
the same two positives can be<br />
said about New Zealand and<br />
Australian rugby aligning with<br />
Asia. In terms of the Rugby<br />
Championship, adding Japan<br />
in place of South Africa is a big<br />
step down.<br />
However, the loss of South<br />
Africa’s four Super Rugby sides<br />
and the addition of another<br />
team in Asia could be the ticket<br />
towards fixing the competition<br />
which seems to lose more and<br />
more relevance by the day.<br />
It’s no secret that Asia<br />
makes sense financially.<br />
Unfortunately, for Super<br />
Rugby the Sunwolves haven’t<br />
One-eyed Cantab<br />
Gordon Findlater<br />
gordon.findlater@starmedia.kiwi<br />
offered much in the way of<br />
competitiveness. However, if<br />
New Zealand Rugby was to<br />
allow our top players to play<br />
for the Asia franchises and still<br />
be eligible for the All Blacks -<br />
much like those given leeway<br />
to play in Japan’s Top League<br />
– the teams will not only gain<br />
relevance competitively on the<br />
field but financially in some of<br />
the globes biggest markets.<br />
We have nothing to gain<br />
from the likes of Sam Whitelock<br />
and Brodie Retallick playing<br />
in the Top League.<br />
However, if they were playing<br />
for the likes of the Sunwolves<br />
they would be bolstering the<br />
stature of Super Rugby while<br />
also being great marketing<br />
tools for the All Blacks and<br />
rugby as a whole in Japan or<br />
China which would make sense<br />
as a second Asian super rugby<br />
destination.<br />
<strong>The</strong> model of five New<br />
Zealand, four Australian, an<br />
Argentinian and two Asian<br />
teams would also return the<br />
competition to a 12 team and<br />
11-week competition. If this<br />
year’s model worked under the<br />
same format it could still finish<br />
on June 20, but would have<br />
started at the end of March<br />
rather than in January.<br />
Yes South Africa would<br />
be a big loss to the Rugby<br />
Championship, but when it<br />
comes to Super Rugby I’d<br />
rather watch us play two Asian<br />
teams – with a scattering<br />
of New Zealand talent – in<br />
a similar time-zone to us<br />
than get up at 3am to watch<br />
a South African team it feels<br />
like we have no real rivalry<br />
with because of the lopsided<br />
conference system.<br />

A WIN at Hagley Oval today<br />
will put Canterbury just one<br />
game away from their first piece<br />
of silverware in three years.<br />
Canterbury meets Otago in<br />
the elimination final of the Ford<br />
Trophy 50-over competition. <strong>The</strong><br />
winner of the match will travel<br />
north to play Auckland in the<br />
grand final on Sunday.<br />
Canterbury secured a home<br />
elimination final by finishing<br />
the round-robin in second place<br />
– one point ahead of Otago. In<br />
their final round-robin match<br />
in New Plymouth on Sunday<br />

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

Stroud scores but<br />
Dragons lose again<br />
Ben Stroud marked his<br />
Canterbury United Dragons<br />
debut with a goal during a 1-2<br />
loss to Hawke’s Bay United on<br />
Sunday. <strong>The</strong> son of former All<br />
Whites goalkeeper Alan Stroud<br />
scored with a header from a<br />
corner in the 60th minute. <strong>The</strong><br />

Show Homes - the ultimate way to shop around<br />
In Christchurch and the surrounding<br />
districts we are blessed with an extensive<br />
array of very good quality show homes.<br />
Building companies build show homes<br />
to demonstrate their workmanship, display<br />
innovative design ideas and present a<br />
snapshot into a new and luxurious lifestyle<br />
featuring all the latest in materials, fittings<br />
and fixtures.<br />
A show home can inspire you in a<br />
way nothing else can. You can absorb<br />
the ambiance they present, admire the<br />
innovative techniques, new materials<br />
and technology all in one place, under a<br />
roof that you may just select for your new<br />
home.<br />
At a show home you can ask questions,<br />
take notes and compare them to other<br />
builders’ presentations. You don’t have to<br />
visualise or imagine full scale from a photo<br />
in a glossy, you can simply see at a glance,<br />
often instinctively, features you like, things<br />
you would avoid and clever innovation that<br />
you never would have thought of.<br />
Best of all you will see the building<br />
companies’ attention to detail, from design,<br />
construction and finish through to interior<br />
decor, outdoor living and landscaping.<br />
Show homes are the perfect way to get a<br />
good idea of pricing, discover what is good<br />
quality and value, learn about superior<br />
use of space, future-proofing, ongoing<br />
maintenance and long term returns. Check<br />
