New
take on
match
of the
century
• By Fiona Ellis
REMEMBERED as the ‘match
of the century’ Canterbury’s bid
to break Auckland’s then record
of 25 successive Ranfurly Shield
defences on September 14, 1985
was in disarray at halftime when
the challengers led 24-0.
However, before a feverish
crowd of 53,000, many of whom
converged on the sideline before
the old embankment at Lancaster
Park, Canterbury made a
stirring comeback, scoring four
unanswered tries to bridge the
gap to 28-23.
A thrilling contest ended
controversially – in a one-eyed
Cantabrians view – when John
Kirwan punched the ball dead
as Craig Green sought a potentially
match-winning try. Bob
Francis then blew the fulltime
whistle with time, allegedly, still
on the clock.
Peter Harper missed out on
the drama that afternoon, but
36 years later he has brought
the excitement surrounding the
match back to life.
The Cotswold School teacher
and colleague Saskia Sandford cowrote
the school play, Saturday
Night’s Fever, staged last week.
The play follows rugby fan
Barry Room as he attempts to
overcome obstacles and get to
the match.

Property,
rubbish
bins top
residents’
query list
• By Fiona Ellis
OBTAINING property
information is the top reason
for people in the Fendalton-
Waimairi-Harewood Community
Board area to reach out to the
city council, but uncollected bins
remain an issue.
A ticket report has revealed a
breakdown of issues that residents
contacted the city council about
between September 20 and October
19.
In that time, 1680 tickets, or
jobs, were completed within an
average of 3.7 days.
Incidents fell in a range of
categories, including transport,
wheelie bins, property information
and Three Waters council
assets.
Property file requests came
out on top with 147 tickets, while
complaints about missed bin collections
or damages bins placed
second and third, with 142 and
140 tickets respectively.
Bin issues have been an ongoing
theme of ticket reports in the area.
For example, in the ticket
report for July 21 to August 19,
uncollected bins were also the
second-largest issue, with 130
tickets issued.

Low noise asphalt delayed
A PLAN to cover the new
Northern Corridor motorway
in low noise asphalt has
been delayed due to Covid
disruptions.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport
Agency had planned to add the
top coating of the low noise
asphalt to the motorway later
this month, but ongoing supply
chain disruptions have delayed
some of the materials.
James Caygill, NZTA’s
director regional relationships,
said the delay is due to a holdup
in getting one of the key
ingredients for the top coat –
epoxy resin – from the United
States.
“We have recently become
aware that Covid-related
shipping problems have delayed
us getting the epoxy here as
planned,” Caygill said.
“We are sorry about this delay,
given the concerns of nearby
residents.”
He said the shipping delay
is part of the Covid-19 supply
chain disruptions being
experienced world-wide.
The epoxy gives the low noise
asphalt a significantly longer life
and maintains its noise reducing
powers for longer.
“We did have the option to
use a low noise asphalt without
epoxy, but this coating would
only last for up to eight years
instead of 30-plus years with
epoxy,” Caygill said.
SUPPLY ISSUES: The low noise asphalt top coating for the Northern Corridor has been
delayed.
PHOTO: NEWSLINE
“We know Redwood residents
living closest to the motorway
will be disappointed about this
delay, but we hope they can
see a short delay now will reap
benefits longer term.”
The remaining chip sealing
work on the CNC has been
postponed until the epoxy
arrives.
At this stage, Caygill says the
delay is likely to be a “month or
two, into the New Year.”
He said NZTA still hopes
to complete all the low noise
surfacing work for the entire
motorway, from Cranford St to
the Waimakariri Bridge, and
along QEII Drive, between Main
North Rd and the Innes Rd
roundabout, by April next year.

Jayne and I would like to thank you for the work you’ve done to get us where
we are today. Bit of a blur really. Every step in the process has gone into
achieving the result today that exceeded our expectations. The detail and
professionalism has been on point. Staging, photography, the video along
with the marketing campaign all leading to a great property to present to
the market. These aspects all set the scene perfectly for the open homes and
visits leading to today’s outstanding auction result. Quiet night tonight but
sure there will be a few celebratory drinks later in the week.

SHOWTIME: Cotswold School pupils perform a dance number as part of
the school production last week.
Ranfurly Shield was big
part of Christchurch
Peter
Harper
• From page 1
The work draws on
Harper’s own memories as
a student in Christchurch
who enjoyed following
rugby.
“The
Ranfurly
Shield
was a big
part of
Christchurch.
I just
remember
the
big, huge
crowds.
“I was lucky to be a part
of it.”
However,
on
the day of
the game,
he was out
of town,
visiting
Saskia
Sandford
family in
Nelson.
His idea
of a story about a quest to
attend the game had been
• From page 1
In the most recent
report, 53 per cent (967) of
residents chose to report
concerns by phone, email
and walk-in, while 47 per
cent (851) did so online
through Snap Send Solve
and Hybris Online.
But, at the conclusion of
the report last month, 525
tickets were still open or
not completed.
The ticket report was
included in the agenda for
this week’s community
board meeting.
It comes as the city
council is seeking
residents views on a
flexible wheelie bin system
“bubbling away” for a
while, Harper said.
The production also
included songs, dancing
and pop culture from the
era.
Teacher
Ashleigh
Macdonald
coorganised
the play.
About a
Gary
Tibbotts
term-anda-half
of
rehearsal
time had gone into staging
the production, she said.
Although the show
had a cast of about 250
pupils – the entire senior
school – it came together
well.
“The kids were just great
. . . they were all so excited
to put on a show.”
For Gary Tibbotts, the
performance brought back
memories.
“I was a policeman in
those days and I was on
that would allow
people who choose to
down-size their bins to
pay less.
City council head of
three waters and waste
Helen Beaumont said
currently households get
standard size bins which
they pay for through their
rates.
“Under the new system
we are proposing, people
will be able to choose the
size of their red, green
and yellow wheelie bin,”
Beaumont said
“If they choose to go
small, they will pay less.”
More information
on the proposal will be
the sideline in uniform
that day, so I remember it
well,” he said.
A member of the
Canterbury Rugby Union
Historic
Trust,
Tibbotts
supplied
the school
with
photos,
videos and
memorabilia
of
the game.
“They used the film footage
on a big screen in the
background, and they used
some of the songs that
were played
at the time,” he said.
“I supplied them with an
Auckland rugby flag and a
Canterbury rugby flag and
they used [them] in the
production.”
He thoroughly enjoyed
the show, he said.
“It was nothing short of
brilliant.”

Gosh its fast approaching
that magical, happy, exciting
time of the year - the lead up
to Christmas and the summer
holiday season. I really love
December, although there is
never enough hours in the day
for all the things I need to get
done. While it’s a chaotic time
for us, it can also spell disaster
for our pets. Below are some
Christmas dangers to keep a
watch on.
Here is a list of FOODS to look
out for
1. Chocolate is poisonous
(tachycardia , seizures, vomiting, diarrhoea) so
make sure you don’t leave chocolate under the
tree or in easy to reach places as chances are, it
will be found. Chocolate contains the stimulant “
theobromine” which is lethal.
2. Christmas pudding and fruit cakes contain
raisins (grapes) which are toxic to your pets
kidneys leading to lethargy, vomiting and thirst.
3. Alcohol and caffeine are also toxic too. Alcohol
can be found also in Christmas cakes and as little
as one ounce of alcohol can kill a cat.
4. Avocados contain persin which causes
symptoms from vomiting and diarrhoea to
cardiac arrest.
5. Macadamia nuts cause vomiting, weakness
and tremors.
6. Onions and chives contain disulphides which
damage your pets RBCs.
7. Pits and seeds of plums, peaches and apples
have a substance that degrades to cyanide
which is toxic. Large stones can also cause
intestinal blockage.
8. Xylitol (an ingredient in chewing gum) causes
HYPOglycaemia in dogs and can lead to seizures
and liver failure in severe cases.
9. Corn cobs should never be allowed to be
chewed on as they will obstruct in the small
intestine requiring surgery.
10. Turkey, crackling, salmon skins, fatty meats,
sausages can all cause vomiting and diarrhoea
and may lead to pancreatitis.
11. Blue cheese contains
Roquefortine C, which is very
sensitive to dogs.
Other potential hazards
include
- Christmas decorations that
can be swallowed.
- SNOW Globes as they contain
“Anti Freeze”. 1 tsp is lethal to
a cat.
- Cover up cords used to light
the tree to avoid an electric
shock or any tongue/ gum
lacerationsl
- Secure the tree so if scaled by
your cat, it wont fall over and crush
the cat.
- Keep tree lights and candles away
from pets to avoid shocks and burns.
- Pine needles are toxic if ingested
and can cause internal puncture
wounds.
- Sparkley tinsel is attractive to cats,
but if ingested will require surgical
intervention as it gets bound up in the
gastrointestinal tract.
- Wrapping paper - if enough is ingested it will
obstruct the bowel.
Heading into this festive season, make sure you
have their vaccinations, flea and worming up
to date, so if a vacation stay is likely, their health

won’t be compromised. We
have a warm, well ventilated,
very clean and quiet upstairs
CATTERY if you fury friend
needs a place to be cared
for while you take a summer
holiday. Do thorough research
before selecting a a boarding
facility to make sure its the
right fit for your pet.
Avoid HEATSTROKE by never
leaving your dog in a car with
inadequate ventilation. Four
windows opened a fraction
doesn’t qualify. Dogs can also
suffer heatstroke left in a yard
with no water or shade, if exercising heavily in
the heat, dogs being muzzled for long periods in
the heat or being exposed to a hairdryer for too
long. Dogs with a restricted airway (such as the
brachycephalic breeds, pugs, boxers, bulldogs)
are at an increased risk again.
A dogs body temperature can elevate quickly
in a car getting up over 41 degrees. A dog in
heat stroke is agitated, breathing rapidly, has dry
dark red gums, can be disorientated and can
seizure. Animals have only a small amount of
sweat glands located in their footpads making
sweating minimal, so their primary way of
regulating body temperature is by panting. Safe,
controlled reduction in body temperature is
achieved by pouring cool water completely over
the dog, and then draping wet towels over and
taking regular temperatures.
Holiday house plants decorate a room but can
be lethal to pets. Most cause intestinal upsets
or renal disease. Some common plants to watch
for are lillies, Azaleas, Ivy, Mistletoe, Holly and
Chrysanthrmums.
Toys and batteries are a no go too. Ingested
they can cause renal damage and pancreatitis
if they contain Zinc. Intestinal blockage is also
a real possibility - not an expense you want on
Christmas morning at the After Hours.
There are more folks out and about enjoying
their dogs, so please keep social distancing, and
keep a close eye on doggie interactions. Dog
fight wounds can be real nasty
and require an anaesthetic to
debride and close.
Also make sure your pet is
MICROCHIPPED and registered
on the NZL database in case of
misadventure or wandering off.
On an aside, Macy (our 18
month old Lab) and Maximus
(our 7.5kg Ginger cat) both
underwent surgical operations
recently, successfully I
might add. Macy had
her big girl operation
- Ovariohysterectomy”
and Maximus got into
a nasty altercation with
a newcomer to the
neighbourhood, which
resulted in a corneal
laceration. Very lucky
his dad is the EYE vet.
Steve operated after work
one night by suturing a
conjunctival graft over the
lacerated cornea. Max now
has full sight back in both
eyes and no more “heats”
for Miss Macy.
Merry Christmas to you all and THANKYOU for
supporting McMaster & Heap during a trying and
difficult year living with Covid and trusting Steve,
Michele and our brilliant team with your special
furry friends, who we adore I might add.

Pupils get a taste of farm life
THE SHOW did go on,
in a sense, although the
Covid-19 restrictions forced
the cancellation of the NZ
Agricultural Show for a
second successive year.
School groups were still
able to experience farm life
at Canterbury Agricultural
Park last week, as they were
herded through the facility
with the skill associated with
the collies involved in the
dog trials.
“We are lucky we have a
huge park. There was an area
where people came in and
sanitise, they then went in
their school group and go
in a circular route for two
hours,” said show general
manager Tracy Ahern.
“They’d look at the animals
inside then go outside
and, while they had their
free lunch before exiting,
another group would start
the process.”
More than 2700 primary
and pre-school children
filtered through the venue
from Wednesday to Friday.
With the general public
unable to attend, Ahern was
delighted to offer the pupils a
taste of agricultural life in a
secure environment.
“It was really important
for us to still open the show
to as many young children as
possible, so we’ve been able
to achieve that by hosting
organised visits of schools.
“We’re so pleased to have
been able to offer them
something. Everything
we’re doing is free, which
is particularly tough for us
financially, but we have been
determined to do as much as
we possibly can,” Ahern said.

Scholarship win
for tech student
BURNSIDE HIGH School
student Braden Sole is one step
closer to achieving his dream of
becoming a biomedical engineer.
The Year 12 student intends to
combine his passion for STEM
(science, technology, engineering
and mathematics) subjects and
his drive to help people with help
from a $12,000 OCS
New Zealand and
First Foundation
scholarship.
Braden is heavily
involved with the
local St John youth
programme, which
led him to consider
biomedical engineering.
“This field would
allow me to do what
I love in terms of
technology and
engineering by creating devices
such as robotic prosthetic limbs
and organs,” Braden said.
“This area of study will help
me to achieve my overall goal of
making a positive difference in
the world.”
Braden is a Year 12 prefect, a
junior class leader and a leader
of the school robotics club. This
year he is also the St John District
Cadet of the Year in North Canterbury,
which sees him act as the
‘cadet voice’ for the district.
The three-to-four-year scholarships
include $12,000 to go
towards tuition fees, work experience
and access to a mentor
within their field of study.
Braden said the scholarship
will make a massive difference to
his future study at university.
“Engineering is by no
means a cheap course to
study and the money will
give me the freedom to
study with little worry
or concern about student
loans.”
“Instead, I will be able
to focus on doing what
I want to do, which is
helping people through
the power of science and
technology.”
Braden Sole ​
The calibre of scholarship
applications
in 2021 was so high that four
scholarships have been awarded
nationally.
OCS ANZ managing
director Gareth Marriott said:
“Braden’s involvement with St
John is worthy work and it’s clear
to see that he’s passionate about
a future that allows him to help
people and explore his love for
engineering at the same time. I’m
looking forward to following
his journey.”

All Black visit kicks off
sports star programme
ALL BLACK, Crusader and
Canterbury NPC player Cullen
Grace visited Mairehau School
last week to encourage pupils to
stay healthy and
get active.
Other primary
schools around
the country
are also being
surprised by visits
from sports stars
Cullen as part of the
Grace Zespri Young and
Healthy Virtual
Adventure, with Grace’s visit the
first in Christchurch.
The programme, which kicked
off this month, also provides
classes across the country with
an opportunity to discover the
world through their devices.
Along the way, they are met
virtually by sporting heroes –
including Ardie Savea, Kane
Williamson and Ameliaranne
Ekenasio – who will show them
around, share facts about local
history and give them fitness tips
along the way.
Like the sports star visits, the
virtual programme aims to instil
healthy habits such as exercising,
eating extra fruit and vegetables,
drinking more water, and reducing
leisure time spent on screens.
Young and Healthy Trust
founder Kim Harvey said the
virtual programme was adapted
to meet the challenge of Covid-19
disruptions.
“Every year we see fantastic
results with teachers, parents and
the kids themselves telling us
they have more energy, can focus
better in class and feel better, so
we really wanted to make
it work.”

No smooth journey back home to
Mountain biker Ethan
Rose is back home in
Merivale after competing
in his first UCI Junior
World Series. He talks
to Fiona Ellis about the
highlights
and challenges that
come with seven months
of competing in Europe
AS ETHAN ROSE tumbled to
the ground in a tangle of spokes
and handlebars, he knew the
under-19 UCI mountain bike
world championships race
was going to contain an extra
challenge.
Half a year after Rose won the
national under-19 championships
in February, he was in Italy,
competing in the world-class
event for the first time.
“Me and
some other guy
tangled bars
going over the
first 400 [metres]
and both
tumbled down
the bank,” the
Ethan Rose
18-year-old said.
Although
uninjured, once he was back on
track he realised he had lost precious
time.
“I came through the start
loop, I think, two minutes back
already, like 50th.”
Pushing hard throughout the
AIRBORNE: Ethan Rose hurdles an obstacle during a mountain bike race in Austria.
rest of the race, he made a good
recovery and finished in 12th.
“I looked at my lap times at
the end and I think they were
like top-five kind of lap times,
which was a bit frustrating,”
Rose said.
Although crowded tracks were
a hazard of the sport, it was not
one he often encountered on
home territory.
“There are way more people
[in Europe] and they’re all quick
people as well . . . the depth of
field is just massive.
“In New Zealand, you don’t
really get that because there’s not
that many of you.”
Rose returned home last
month after spending seven
months in Europe competing
in the junior world series, with
the world championships as the
main event.
Based in Switzerland, he
travelled around Europe to
compete in a variety of countries,
and had some good results, he
said. This included winning a
race in Austria, coming second
in Switzerland, and third in races
in Italy, France and Spain.
“I was pretty happy with
it. It was just good to get over
there, really. Last year was a
bit disappointing because we
couldn’t do anything.”
His plans to compete in
Europe last year were scrapped
after the outbreak of the
Covid-19 pandemic, which also
forced him to return to New
Zealand shortly after arriving in
the United States for what
would have been a fourcompetition
set.
“It was quite hard to know
what to do, really . . . it was
training but without purpose.”
Next year he will leave the
junior category and compete in
the under-23 age bracket and
would be eligible to compete in
the World Cup series, which was
his goal.
“It’s going to be a big step up
but it should be good.”
Older riders, who had made
the jump from junior champions
to World Cup competitors, were
on hand for advice.
“I do plenty of riding with
them. They kind of tell you how
it works.”
Training six days out of seven
for a weekly total of up to 25
hours, the sport was almost a
full-time job.
When not training or
competing, he also worked in
an engineering workshop that
allowed him a flexible schedule.
He got into mountain biking at
nine because Christchurch had a
good cross-country scene, he said.
“The first race I did was
up in the Port Hills, at the
Christchurch Singletrack Club.
They just had races every week,
so I belonged to them.”

Merivale for up and coming rider
PEDAL POWER: Ethan
Rose on the podium after
finishing third at the Coupe
de France de VTT Ussel in
August.
Right - Rose representing
New Zealand at the UCI
mountain bike world
championships.
Rose’s father was also a keen
rider, which encouraged him to
take up the sport.
“We used to always ride
together, and he took me to races
and did them as well.”
For years his father was the
quicker of the two, before Rose
eventually overtook him.
“I was maybe 16, so I think he’s
got over it now.”
On leaving school, Rose
struggled with the decision of
whether to pursue his racing
career or to study instead.
“It’s kind of hard, you’ve got to
bite the bullet and get over that.”
His career highlight so far
was winning the national
championships.
Arriving back in New Zealand
in October, he had already taken
part in the tour of Southland
earlier this month.
Coming from two weeks of
MIQ isolation, he enjoyed being
back in the saddle.
He was now working more,
aiming to save money for next
year’s wave of competitions.
Now living in Merivale, Rose
said the biggest challenge of his
cycling career was finding the
funds.
“It’s not hard to ride your
bike all the time, I enjoy it. It
doesn’t feel like I’m forcing it
or anything, it’s just getting the
money to do it.”
His dream was to follow in
the footsteps of other New
Zealand riders who were part of
professional European teams, he
said.
“It’s every rider’s dream to
get on a pro team and make it
your job – get paid to ride your
bike.”

Discounts offered for
2nd birthday celebrations
Specialist shoe store The Shoe Room in Upper
Riccarton is celebrating its second birthday, and to
mark the milestone they are running a week-long
discount promotion.
From Monday, November 22 through to Saturday,
November 27, customers are invited to participate
in a Lucky Dip, in which they will receive discount
vouchers ranging in value from 20 per cent to 50 per
cent for any purchase made on the day.
The locally owned business was established by
Podiatrist Charlotte Russell in November 2019 to
complement her podiatry clinic Feet First, located in
Main South Road.
Carol, left, and Maxine display examples of the
new summer collection at The Shoe Room.
Charlotte freely admits, it has been a hard two years.
“We opened just a few months before the first
lockdown and with the ongoing Covid restrictions it’s
been difficult. But we are still here and very excited to
celebrate our second birthday!”
Despite the pandemic-related problems retailers
have faced, The Shoe Room has established a loyal
customer base, which Charlotte attributes to the
service and personal attention customers receive
from the team.
“That’s our point of difference. The shop manager
Maxine and shop assistants Carol and Maree are
friendly and welcoming, so they are able to build
a rapport with customers by providing that allimportant
personal service and expertise, making
sure customers get shoes that fit correctly, are
comfortable and look fabulous on their feet.”
Now, with the arrival of spring, The Shoe Room has
received an exciting new range of footwear for the
warmer months ahead. The selection includes the
popular Archie jandals from Australia. Made from EVA
rubber, these jandals mould to the shape of the foot,
making them very comfortable and easy to wear, plus
they are available in several fresh, summery colours.
Among the other quality brands on display are
Frankie 4, also from Australia, and the ever-popular
Ziera, with many styles designed to accommodate
orthotics.
The Shoe Room is located at Unit 3, 355 Riccarton Road, opposite the Lone Star.
Opening hours are Monday 10am - 5.30pm, Tuesday to Thursday 9.30am - 5.30pm,
Friday 9.30am - 4.30pm, Saturday 10am - 3pm. Off street parking available.

We have absolutely loved hosting this free local
community event the past two years with Rotary
Papanui. This year was a slightly different version
under level 2 conditions however the kids still had
a blast. We can’t wait to do this again next year!
Thank you for your support.
