PAPANUI WILL have a 

new liquor outlet in spite of 

opposition from businesses and 

the local high school. 

An application by B & S Liquor 

Limited Reporting Agencies’ to 

have a liquor store at 495 Papanui 

Rd was granted at a hearing on 

June 2 by a district licensing 

committee. 

Northgate Community 

Services Trust, Papanui High 

School, police and businesses 

were listed as objectors to the 

application but none appeared at 

the hearing. 

In the past, the company has 

applied for a liquor licence for 

a store in Stanmore Rd but was 

turned down by the committee as 

the area was unsuitable. 

A number of businesses close 

to the proposed shop said they 

were angry with the idea of another 

liquor store. 

One local business owner, who 

did not want to be named, said 

she was concerned about littering. 

“So I guess I will be picking up 

those bottles from my carpark 

each morning,” she said. 

She was concerned also about 

parking and its proximity to 

Papanui High School. 

“There are plenty of other 

places to get alcohol, why do we 

need another one?” 

Northgate Community Services 

Trust spokeswoman Karen 

Watson said there were a lot of 

youths in the area who did not 

need another place to get alcohol. 

“There are plenty of places to 

get alcohol in the area. There are 

supermarkets just down the road, 

Super Liquor and wine bars up 

and down the street,” she said. 

Papanui High School Board of 

Trustees deputy chairman Jerome 

Williamson was unavailable for 

comment. B & S Liquor could 

not be reached for comment.

Alleyway a safety concern 


DRUG DEALING, graffiti, 

damage and rowdy nights have 

forced a community board 

to put $5000 into a Mairehau 

walkway and bus stop to make it 

safer for locals. 

Residents near the walkway, 

between Hills Rd and Onawe Pl, 

have put up with ongoing drug 

dealing, graffiti and damage 

to their bus stop and walkway 

fences and people trespassing on 

their properties. 

City councillor 

Ali Jones (left) 

organised a security 

camera to be put in 

for a few weeks to 

illustrate how bad 

the area is. However, 

she said it was 

quite a deterrent. 

“We did notice reduced graffiti 

and anti-social behaviour. 

However, once the camera was 

removed, there was more damage 

to the fence,” she said. 

The security camera was similar 

to the one used on Manchester 

St, St Albans to deter clients 

visiting sex workers. 

The Shirley-Papanui Community 

Board will allocate $5000 

from its discretionary response 

fund to enable a one-off upgrade 

to the walkway, and to support a 

neighbourhood art project. 

The art project, led by the 

residents, will improve the walkway 

by covering graffiti on the 

walkway fences. 

The board has asked the 

city council to give priority to 

maintaining the bus stop near 

the Hills Rd entrance to the 

walkway to ensure that it is 

safe and comfortable for users. 

Lighting in the walkway and 

outside the shopping precinct on 

Hills Rd will undergo a safety 

assessment. 

Senior Sergeant Stephen 

McDaniel said putting in the 

camera has shown a reduction 

in calls to the area. 

“There have been less congregations 

of people due to the 

camera,” he said. 

He said a community art 

project would be a great idea 

as it does deter people from 

vandalism. 

IMPROVEMENTS: 

A walkway that 

runs between 

Hills Rd and 

Onawe Pl will get 

a $5000 upgrade 

to fix damaged 

fences, clean 

up grafitti and 

improve lighting. 

PHOTO: GEOFF 

SLOAN 

Cr Jones said putting the camera 

back was a possibility. 

“We may always put the camera 

back, of course. Or it may be 

there already, but better hidden,” 

she said. 

HAVE YOUR SAY: Will a 

$5000 improvement to the 

walkway between Hills Rd 

and Onawe Pl solve the 

problem of drug dealing 

and graffiti in the area?

In Brief 

NO REIMBURSEMENT 

St Francis of Assisi School 

in St Albans will not be paid 

back $150,000 of development 

contributions it made when 

it moved onto its new site 

on Innes Rd. Development 

contributions are fees paid 

to compensate for the added 

strain of new development on 

infrastructure. City councillors 

were tied seven to seven when 

they voted on whether the 

school should be reimbursed. 

St Paul’s School in Dallington 

and Our Lady of Fatima in 

Edgeware were merged after the 

February 22, 2011 earthquake 

left St Paul’s unusable. 

ROAD CHANGE 

This week, southbound 

traffic along Russley Rd will 

be temporarily merged into 

one lane. Two lanes will be 

maintained for northbound 

vehicles. This will allow the first 

half of the southern airport 

access underpass to be built. 

This stage will take about 5-6 

months to complete and then 

northbound traffic will be 

merged to complete the second 

half of the underpass. For more

Bringing communities back to life 

This week’s 

Soapbox is 

written by city 

councillor and 

Fendalton-Waimairi 

Community Board 

member Raf 

Manji about how 

suburban plans can be brought 

to life through a new arm of the 

city council. 

Post-earthquake, much of the focus 

has been on the rebuilding of the central 

city and the long-awaited anchor projects. 

At the same time, many communities 

have been asking for help and engagement 

on the re-development of their 

villages and suburban centres. 

The city council has developed a number 

of suburban master plans but has 

limited ability to bring them to life, as 

the areas often include private landowners 

and developers. 

This was one of the reasons the city 

council set up a new entity called Development 

Christchurch Limited. DCL has 

responsibility for working with the community 

and the private sector to bring 

about better outcomes for local areas. 

At the most basic level, this means 

helping with the re-development of 

local malls and village shops, using city 

council-owned land to energise new 

investment and allow local communities, 

business associations and groups 

to drive the changes they want to see in 

their commercial neighbourhoods. 

For example, this new approach could 

provide a great opportunity for Bishopdale 

Mall. As the city council owns the 

land, it’s in a good position to work with 

the community to enable the regeneration 

of the public space, as well as the 

upgrade of the current commercial 

stock. 

A recent example of community 

input is the new Bishopdale Library and 

community centre, which will shortly 

get underway. The joint working group 

process to prepare the plan illuminated 

the new, inclusive approach from the 

city council, which DCL will look to 

build on. 

Opportunities for local management 

of the public space and the ability to redraw 

the map of the building footprints 

will help to make Bishopdale Mall an 

even more attractive place for the local 

community to visit and act as a core 

driver of economic and social activity 

for the north-west. 

•Do you believe suburban plans 

will be easier to complete with 

the city council’s new entity, 

Development Christchurch Ltd?

FLAME FILES 

Empty houses 

target of arson 

• By Mark Thomas – Fire Risk 

Management Officer 

WE’VE LOST a lot of old 

buildings in the last five 

years. Most of them from 

earthquake damage. 

However, we’ve also seen 

a number of earthquake 

damaged properties empty, 

shored up and supposedly 

secure, waiting to be 

repaired, which have been 

the target of arsonists. 

There was another 

one this week at the 

Risingholme Community 

Centre in Opawa. 

I apologise to the good 

people of that area, but I 

wasn’t aware it existed. 

The building may or 

may not be saveable now. I 

suspect it will not be. 

But there will be another 

empty section where the 

history of our city once 

stood. Kind of sad really, 

isn’t it? 

The last week has seen 

a number of calls from 

Linwood and Bromley areas 

reporting strong smells of 

gas. 

It turns out a trucking 

firm has been depositing 

soil in their yard. Each time 

it’s turned over, or added to, 

a smell permeates around 

the east. It’s not dangerous, 

just unpleasant. 

In the equally unusual 

category was the call out 

of the troops to a liquid 

seeping from a closed 

container in Middleton last 

Friday. 

Investigations revealed 

the container had been 

loaded in the heavy rain of 

that week. 

Was it rainwater seeping 

out a number of days later? 

Well, it’s not high in the list 

of hazardous materials. 

Finally someone in 

Halswell tried to light their 

fireplace with the help of 

petrol on Monday. The 

result was a lounge on 

fire. This is not a rare 

occurrence. One word if 

you’re tempted – don’t. 

Readers responds to 

last week’s article about 

lowering the speed limit 

on sections of St Asaph 

St and Hagley Ave as 

well as 27 other roads in 

the city. 

Robert McGregor, 

Harewood – 

This speed limit is a joke. 

Most cyclists I know will 

be breaking the speed limit 

most of the time. 

Many average more than 

35km/h as a rule. 

Michael J Brathwaite, 

Spreydon – 

Regarding the proposed 

speed limit changes, I am 

totally against any changes to 

the speed limits. 

The only road that will 

affect me is Waterloo Rd, 

which I use one day a week. 

Although I drive below 

the 100km/h limit, unless 

someone is following me, I 

never strike any congestion 

on the road. 

It is a rural road, and it is 

nice to be able to drive without 

keeping an eye constantly 

on the speedometer of my 

car.

Burke in council race 

• By Donna Miles 

FAIMEH BURKE has 

announced her candidacy in 

the new Waimairi Ward for the 

October local body elections. 

Lady Burke, a long-time 

community board member, is 

standing for the city council. 

She will not stand for the new 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board. 

It will be Lady Burke’s fifth 

attempt at winning a seat 

around the city council table. 

Lady Burke said she has had 

discussions with two sitting 

councillors, Raf Manji and 

Jamie Gough, over which 

ward they would stand in. 

It is anticipated October’s 

elections will be hotly contested 

because of boundary 

changes and the creation of 

three more council seats. 

Cr Raf Manji is expected 

to announce his decision to 

whether to stand by the beginning 

of July. 

“It’s a major commitment, 

so not a decision I take 

lightly,” he said. 

Cr Gough said if Cr Manji 

decided to run, the two would 

work closely to ensure three 

RUNNING: Faimeh Burke (left) has had discussions with city 

councillors Jamie Gough (middle) and Raf Manji (right) over 

running for the city council. 

strong independent candidates 

were elected for their joined 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

community board area. 

“Raf and I obviously work 

both closely and well together 

so we are prudently taking a 

holistic view of our ward,” he 

said. 

Cr Gough said his chances 

of getting re-elected was 

best in Fendalton Ward but 

believed the work he had done 

for the wider Fendalton-Waimairi 

Ward made him electable 

in any of the new wards. 

Lady Burke said she was 

buoyed by the fact she had a 

good knowledge of the local 

LAWyerS 

issues and a good support base 

in the area. 

In the recent six-yearly review 

of council representation 

the number of existing wards 

were increased from seven to 

16. 

Each of the new 16 wards 

will now be represented by one 

councillor, increasing the total 

number of councillors from 

13 to 16. 

The number of community 

boards will be reduced from 

eight to seven. 

Overall, the number of 

elected councillors and community 

board members stays 

the same the same at 54. 

In Brief 

INFORMATION NEEDED 

Police are appealing for information 

relating to an armed 

robbery of the Merivale TAB at

Broadcasting to 

beat loneliness 


CTV News now 

on Plains FM 

AFRICAN MUSIC is as 

varied as the many African 

cultures it represents, and 

although it’s rare to hear 

these sounds on broadcast 

media in Canterbury, a 

young mother of two has 

been doing just that for 

the last two years through 

a radio show called Voices 

of Africa on Plains FM. 

Regina Smedley is married 

to a New Zealander 

and is proud to call herself 

a Cantabrian, but she was 

born and raised in a small 

village in Malawi. 

Since 2008, she has been 

living in Christchurch and 

successfully straddling 

two cultures by immersing 

herself in the Kiwi lifestyle 

while still staying connected 

to her roots. 

As is common with 

many migrants, she has 

also had to confront deep 

feelings of isolation. 

“There are very few Malawian 

people in Christchurch. 

So when you meet one 

you immediately want to sit 

down and have a long chat.” 

The impetus to broadcast 

Voices of Africa was born 

out of her desire to overcome 

feelings of loneliness. 

Regina readily admits that 

she struggled at times to 

feel she belonged and 

having a project to focus 

on which was close to her 

heart helped immensely. 

“I had always wanted to 

do broadcasting so when 

I got this opportunity to 

present my own show it 

was a life’s dream come 

true for me. In my village, 

there were very few opportunities. 

My kids couldn’t 

believe it.” 

The radio programme is 

predominantly in English 

and aims to help eliminate 

cultural barriers, provide a 

connection for the African 

community to their roots, 

and assist all migrants to 

feel part of the Christchurch 

community. 

“I like to focus on 

interviews with recent 

migrants, or New Zealanders 

who have themselves 

been to Africa. It’s a great 

way to share stories and 

experiences with the 

wider community. I get to 

choose the African music 

I want to play and it really 

helps build my confidence 

speaking English as well.” 

As if raising a family, 

running a cooking business 

and producing a 

radio show aren’t enough, 

Regina also raises funds 

for a children’s orphanage 

in Malawi. She is hosting 

a fundraising dinner at 

Visions Restaurant at 7pm 

on June 10 on behalf of the 

charity Mphatikizo. 

Voices of Africa airs on 

Plains FM 96.9 on Fridays 

at noon, repeats Saturdays 

at 11pm, and is available to 

download as a podcast at 

www.plainsfm.org.nz and 

on iTunes.

Plains FM began live broadcasting 

the CTV evening news on June 7, 

running each weekday from 5.30- 

6pm. 

Plains FM is a community-run 

station based at the Ara Institute of 

Canterbury, while CTV is locallyowned 

by Star Media and has broadcast 

regional news since 1991. 

Plains FM manager Nicki Reece 

said it was a great local collaboration. 

“For us, it’s a natural fit, because 

we’re firmly locally-based with 

programmes by and for the 

community, and this a further 

reflection of what’s going on in a 

visual way at CTV. So it’s a really 

nice cross-pollination between two 

local entities.” 

Star Media editor-in-chief Barry 

Clarke said the association with 

Plains FM was another step for CTV 

as it broadens its reach in the Canterbury 

region. 

Plains FM is broadcast on 96.9 

FM, and is also live streamed at 

www.plainsfm.org.nz. CTV News 

can also be watched live or on 

demand at www.ctv.co.nz 

PARTNERSHIP: Plains FM will now broadcast 

CTV News between 5.30 and 6pm 

each weekday.

An initiative to provide residents with 

a new way of keeping connected to me 

outside business hours is underway with 

the first signs advertising my Keeping

Traditionally, MP offices are open during

time that suits them. We are increasingly 

communicating via email and social 

media, so I liked the idea of holding 

pop-up meetings for people to have a 

conversation about the issues that are 

important to them.

The $39 million bowel cancer screening 

pilot announced in Budget 2016 will tick 

the box for our residents. I receive a lot 

of feedback that highlights the issue as 

a major concern. With my background 

in health, I endorse any programme that 

will stop New Zealanders dying from 

bowel cancer, which is a leading cause of 

death. Early diagnosis will save lives. 

I’m enjoying catching up with our over 

65s at my Super Seniors coffee mornings. 

It has been interesting to hear the range 

of issues that have been brought forward.

Heritage buildings recognised 


MONA VALE Lodge and 

Acland House have been 

recognised in this year’s 

Canterbury Heritage Awards 

final. 

Acland House was commended 

in the domestic saved 

and restored category while 

Mona Vale Lodge was highly 

commended in the domestic 

saved and restored category, and 

public realm saved and restored 

category. 

The sold out award ceremony 

saw 23 of the 80 entrants awarded 

highly commended while 

seven received commended. 

Mona Vale Lodge, off Fendalton 

Rd, is one of three domestic 

buildings that form part of 

Mona Vale. The lodge was damaged 

in the February 22, 2011 

earthquake. 

2016 Canterbury Heritage Award winners: 

RESTORED: Mona Vale Lodge was highly commended in 

two categories. 

It was the first to be fully 

repaired, restored and in use 

again. The judges said it was an 

excellent example of a careful 

conservation approach by the 

city council that has not only 

fully restored the building, but 

has resulted in the restoration 

of number of hidden original 

features, such as pressed metal 

ceilings. 

It also included the reinstatement 

of its detailed brick 

chimneys and Marseille tiled 

roof, ensuring that it retains its 

landmark position as the southern 

gateway to the Mona Vale 

gardens. 

Acland House was originally 

built in 1893 and has been the 

Christchurch Girls High School 

boarding hostel since 1921. 

It suffered significant damage 

on February 22, 2011 and 

reopened again in May 2015 

after earthquake repairs, seismic 

strengthening and refurbishment 

had been undertaken.

•Domestic Saved and Restored: Chilcombe and Racecourse Hill Homestead 

•Public Realm Saved and Restored: Isaac Theatre Royal and Bridge of Remembrance

Homes needed for 

exchange students 

AN EXCHANGE programme 

is asking for Christchurch 

families to open their doors to 

international students. 

Student Exchange Australia 

New Zealand will be sending 

high school-aged children to 

Christchurch, from as close as 

Australia to as far away as Brazil 

and France. 

The group is a not-for-profit 

organisation. 

This month, it will be receiving 

students from Australia, Brazil, 

Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, 

Japan and Switzerland. 

The new arrivals plan to live 

with a host family and attend a 

local school for three, five or 10 

months. 

Hosting an exchange student 

allows local families to experience 

a foreign culture first hand, 

be exposed to a new language 

and pass on parts of their own 

culture. 

All students have at least basic 

levels of English, and would attend 

a school in the local area. 

Aboriginal student Jaydah is 

looking forward to living in New 

Zealand and is hoping to learn 

about the Maori culture. 

Denmark native Caroline, 16, 

has been to New Zealand before 

and loved it so much she now 

wants to live here and experience 

the culture as an exchange 

student. 

In her spare time, Caroline 

works as a swimming instructor 

and in a bakery. 

Nathan, 16, is a French student 

who enjoys school, tennis, handball 

and skiing. 

He loves hiking in nature and 

is looking forward to discovering 

New Zealand and meeting new 

people. 

But a host family isn’t only 

doing the student a favour by 

giving them a roof over their 

head, as told by the Stuart family. 

They hosted Danish student 

Simon for eight months. Victoria 

Stuart said the experience was 

fantastic, and that Simon was 

a role model to their younger 

children.

SCHOOLS 


Cobham Intermediate students put on their gumboots and 

went insect hunting as part of a programme run by Lincoln 

University. The Waterwatch course is run by the university 

and gives years 7-13 students the chance to participate in 

real ecological practices outside the classroom. Students 

got involved in measuring a range of physical, chemical and 

biological indicators of water quality. First they disturbed the 

river bottom in order to catch sediment in their nets. They then 

transferred the sediment to trays and examined the samples 

up close to try and identify the insects that they found. They 

then processed and interpreted data and information gathered 

from the field trip to produce an assessment on the streams 

health. 

YOUNG SCIENTISTS: Cobham 

Intermediate School students 

look on as Hayley Clutterbuck 

(holding net) takes samples to 

analysis. 

COLLECTING: Student Casey 

Kereama (right) catches 

sediment in a net to identify 

insects and flora to determine 

the stream’s health. 

DISCOVERY TIME: Year 5 and 6 students at Wairakei School had no winter sport during 

Queen’s Birthday Weekend so they filled their time with lego, smoothies, biscuit decoration 

and outdoor games. Pupils could chose between construction with lego and large planks, 

making fruit and vege smoothies, biscuit decoration, and outdoor games. Most pupils were 

able to have a go at two activities. 

St Andrew’s College was a wash with colour as it celebrated its international students with an 

assembly recently. Every two years the school holds an assembly to showcase the diversity 

it has on its campus. Students dress up in clothes native to their homelands and bring in their 

national flag to show others their heritage. They were welcomed into the school hall by a Takumi 

drum group and entertained by a group visiting from Ecole School in Dehradun, India. School 

head of values and culture Hamish Bell said it is fantastic to see students representing their 

homeland. “The whole school was involved which makes it quite a special event,” he said. 

SCHOOL PRIDE: Director of 

international and exchange 

students Pale Tauti walks the 

New Zealand flag into the 

international assembly. 

DIVERSE: St Andrew’s College showcases just some of the 

nationalities that go to the school. 

HAROLD’S BACK: The Life Education bus visited Wairakei 

School’s juniors for two days last week. All junior pupils had 

the opportunity to visit the bus to learn about friendship, 

digital citizenship, respect for each other and finding out 

about being bucket fillers by making people feel happy and 

bucket dippers by making people feel sad or unhappy.

Our People 

When the world is your stage 

Ailis Oliver-Kerby, 21, is fast on track to 

becoming a professional performer after 

being accepted into performing arts schools 

in London, New York and Australia. She spoke 

to Georgia O’Connor-Harding about living all 

around the world while growing up, her love 

of the arts and being related to broadcaster 

Bernadine Oliver-Kerby. 

Great speaking to you. How 

are you finding performing in 

Showbiz Christchurch’s Hairspray 

so far? 

I have been absolutely loving 

it. It has just been such a positive 

experience and to have audiences 

at last is so different. Having the 

laughs is more fun. I’m playing 

Penny Pingleton. She is such 

a lovable character with great 

one-liners. Hairspray is one of 

my favourite shows and Penny 

is one of my ultimate roles. I 

did Hairspray in the 

United Kingdom but I 

always wanted to play 

Penny. When I came 

to Dunedin I got that, 

which is cool, and 

now I have it again, 

which is special. 

You’ve been all 

around the world. 

Tell me about the 

places you’ve lived 

in? 

It’s always a hard 

question when 

someone asks where I am from 

because it is quite a long story. I 

was born in Auckland and then 

lived in Christchurch as a primary 

school kid. My family moved 

to England for a couple of years 

before my teenage years. It was 

back and forth from England to 

here. Then, when I was about 12, 

we moved to Hong Kong because 

my Dad worked as a pilot with 

a Hong Kong airline – Cathay 

Pacific. It was getting really hard 

for the family to be so split up all 

the time. Dad was always flying 

so we all moved there together. 

What was growing up in 

Hong Kong like? 

CENTRE STAGE: Ailis Oliver-Kerby playing the role of Liesl in 

the Sound of Music with Taieri Musical Society last year. 

It was such an amazing adventure. 

We were there for seven 

years and there was a great theatre 

scene in Hong Kong as well. 

The dance is competitive there. 

I worked hard with my singing 

and dancing at the international 

Island School. I met lots of British, 

American and Australian 

teachers. It is really different in 

the middle of the city. So cultural. 

I feel home there now but I 

can see why people would have a 

cultural shock. 

And then you went 

to the United Kingdom 

to study? 

I was 16 and I 

heard about a musical 

theatre course in the 

United Kingdom. It 

was a pre-tertiary 

musical theatre 

course at Tring Park 

School for Performing 

Arts. I just 

wanted to be somewhere 

I could do this 

full-time. 

What drew you back to New 

Zealand? 

It felt like I needed to get back 

to my roots. I liked the look of 

Otago University – I had lots 

of old friends going there. The 

main building is kind of like 

Hogwarts. 

What’s the most valuable 

thing you’ve picked up from 

studying the performing arts? 

I think the hardest thing about 

this industry is all the set backs. 

And you have to believe in yourself. 

If you don’t believe in yourself 

no one else will. I recently 

did the Christchurch International 

Musical Theatre Summer 

School and Andrea Burns, 

who is on Broadway in On Your 

Feet! at the moment, said to us: 

“If you’re ready, you never have 

to get ready”. It is all about being 

prepared. And you have to 

be prepared for every audition. 

Preparation is the one thing that 

can help you. You have got to appreciate 

the good moments and 

not let the bad moments suck it 

out of you. 

And is it your dream to be on 

West End with all your achievements? 

After getting accepted into the 

Royal Central School of Speech 

and Drama in London, Stella 

Adler Studio of Acting in New 

York and Making it On Broadway 

in Sydney, it is my dream to 

work in West End productions. 

I most recently came second in 

the International Monologue 

Competition where I was lucky 

enough to receive more than 

2000 votes. 

What an incredible variety 

of places to choose from. 

Have you thought about 

what option you will take 

up? 

I do think London is where I 

want to be. I have worked there 

before and have contacts. I also 

just found out I got into Legally 

Blonde at the Court Theatre. I 

haven’t confirmed anything yet. 

I am trying to defer my place 

in London so I can do the show 

here and go the following year. 

Everything is still in limbo at the 

moment. 

Tell me a bit more about your 

family. Your dad is a pilot, what 

do the others do? 

My Mum studied psychology 

and she is a career coach. She 

is also a business owner. She 

does psychology assessments. 

She helps me with my CV. My 

brother Lachie is very talented. 

He has just released his album 

on SoundCloud called The 

Reach. His music is alternative 

rap and he creates his own beats. 

My brother is also a massive 

rugby player at school. When he 

was at Christ’s College he was in 

the first XV for rugby. He is very 

talented. 

What’s it like being related to 

Bernadine Oliver-Kerby? 

She is an amazing aunty. She 

is always there for me. I’ve been 

to Auckland quite a lot with my 

auditions and agency, Auckland 

Actors Ltd. She always drives me 

around and would do anything 

for us. She enjoys watching 

shows. She came and watched 

my brother in his school production 

of Cats and she came to see 

me in the Sound of Music with 

the Taieri Musical Society last 

year. She has an amazing voice 

as well. Not sure if she sings a lot 

anymore. It is her little secret. 

She was in musicals at school. 

You are so busy with your 

performing. What do you 

always make time for and value 

the most? 

I value my time with my family. 

I take my studies seriously. I 

loved doing my degree, reading 

and performing. I am lucky to 

have friends all over the world 

now which I value greatly.

Vegetarian chef in final 

A CLEARWATER chef’s first 

entry in a cooking competition 

has made the finals of the 

New Zealand Vegetarian Dish 

Challenge. 

Peppers Clearwater Resort 

Lakes Restaurant’s senior chef 

de partie Drew Weeda’s entry, 

Out of this Earth, has earned 

her a New Zealand Vegetarian 

Dish Challenge Excellence 

Award plaque. 

Chefs are 

challenged 

to create 

delicious and 

inspired meals 

from one 

of the three 

categories of 

breakfast or 

brunch, lunch 

and dinner or 

fine dining. 

Ms Weeda’s 

said she 

wanted to create 

a dish that would showcase 

some of their wonderfully 

versatile root vegetables. 

“I teamed up baby turnips 

and beetroot with goat cheese 

balls and dehydrated kale. The 

cubed tofu was dusted with 

beetroot powder, which 

provided a lovely delicate 

flavour, and gently fried then 

topped with a raspberry reduction,” 

she said. 

This is not only her first 

entry into the challenge but 

her first time entering any 

cooking competition and 

she is delighted to have her 

creative talents recognised. 

“I grew up with a vegetarian 

sister and a chef for a dad, so 

I have spent many years not 

only eating vegetarian food 

but preparing it,” 

she said. 

The winners of 

the three categories, 

announced in 

July, will each be 

awarded a winner’s 

plate. 

Competition 

organiser and food 

services consultant 

Pip Duncan said as 

plant based diets 

continue to grow 

in popularity, chefs 

need to provide 

a greater range of choice of 

vegetable dishes. 

“Chefs are being called upon 

to create imaginative and tasty 

vegetable dishes,” he said.

Moascar Cup 

up for grabs 

• By Gordon Findlater 

ST ANDREW’S College will 

look to retain the Moascar Cup 

when they host Timaru Boys’ 

High School today. 

The cup is the schoolboy rugby 

equivalent of the Ranfurly 

Shield with its history going 

back to World War I. 

Mounted on a piece of a 

wooden propeller from a German 

aircraft shot down in 

Palestine, the trophy was first 

played for between British, New 

Zealand and Australian troops 

camped in Moascar, Egypt, following 

the war. 

Bought into the country by 

the New Zealand Mounted 

Rifles Unit and Depot which 

had won the cup, it was gifted to 

New Zealand Rugby Union on 

the condition it be a challenger 

trophy for secondary schools. 

Over 100 years on, the Moascar 

Cup is now one of the most 

coveted prizes in New Zealand 

schoolboy rugby. 

STAC claimed the trophy 

from Wellington’s Scots College 

late last year becoming just the 

third Christchurch school to 

do so, along with Christchurch 

Boys’ High School and St Bede’s 

College. 

Today, Timaru get a crack 

at the silverware and there’s 

no reason they won’t back 

themselves to go back to South 

Canterbury with an another 

addition to the trophy case, 

winning four of their six games 

to start the UC Championship. 

Kick-off is at 1pm. 

ON THE LINE: St Andrew’s 

College lock George Murfin

Cup. 

READY TO GO: Sports broadcaster and former New Zealand double international representative 

in cricket and hockey Lesley Murdoch opens the new turf at Rangi Ruru Girls’ School. 

Rangi Ruru’s new turf 

• By Gordon Findlater 

RANGI RURU Girls’ School 

has welcomed a new artificial 

hockey turf. 

Current Black Sticks Gemma 

Flynn, Jordan Grant and Rachel 

McCann attended the opening, 

watching on as current national 

champions, the first XI Rangi 

Ruru hockey team, had their 

first official practice on the new 

surface. 

The turf cost just over $1m 

and is included in stage two of 

the Project Blue Sky Rangi Ruru 

campus redevelopment which 

began in 2012. 

Sports broadcaster and 

former New Zealand double 

international representative 

in cricket and hockey, Lesley 

Murdoch ONZM, MBE, was 

also present, cutting the ribbon 

on the world class facility which 

she knows will prove pivotal 

in the growth of hockey in the 

region. 

“It’s massive. It just takes the 

pressure off those existing turfs 

to get people on.” Murdoch said. 

She also believes Canterbury 

Hockey have done an amazing 

job to stay competitive following 

the Christchurch earthquakes, 

especially at secondary 

school level. 

Last September Rangi Ruru 

claimed the Federation Cup, the 

highest honour in secondary 

school girl’s hockey. 

Christchurch club HSOB/ 

Burnside will use the hockey 

turf for training. 

Canterbury Hockey will also 

use the facilities for weekend 

junior hockey and representative 

training.

GREAT EFFORT: Five north-west students have put in a solid 

showing at the Australian Gymnastics Championships in 

Melbourne recently. After long hours training and building 

strength, (back L to R) Anna Hooker, 14, Isabelle Ralston, 14, 

Emma Logan, 14, (front L to R) Abby Field, 14, coach Alesha 

Berry and Catherine Hooker, 17, all made the trip across

Hooker placed second in hoop, Logan placed third in clubs, 

Field placed fourth in ribbon. Together with Renee Macrae 

from Nelson, the New Zealand team placed second overall in

RANGI RURU Girls’ School 

student Una Foyle is off to 

Auckland to trial for New 

Zealand’s FIFA under-20 

women’s World Cup football 

team that will play in Papua 

New Guinea in November. 

Foyle, 17, plays in the goalkeeper 

position, and is one of 

only two Christchurch members 

in the current under-20 

squad. 

“There’s one other young 

Christchurch woman in the 

team and she’s 19 so a bit older 

than me. I live and breathe 

football and am really focused 

on getting into the World Cup 

team,” Foyle said. 

She has been playing since 

she was an 8-year-old, and currently 

plays for Coastal Spirit in 

their premier women’s team. 

The young footballer can 

also look ahead to the 2018 

Under-20 World Cup following 

this one. 

“After this campaign, I’ll be 

training hard for selection for 

the next Under-20 World Cup 

in 2018, as I will still be eligible,” 

she said. 

Rangi Ruru’s director of sport 

Jo Fogarty said Foyle is an exceptional 

talent and shows what 

can be achieved with focus and 

hard work. 

Foyle is in Auckland from 

June 10-20 during which time 

the under-20 squad will play the 

an under-19 Untied States team 

twice.

Ensuring a safe work place 

LEARNINg fIRST aid is not only a part 

of ensuring a safe work place, but also 

an integral part of our engagement with 

the wider community. We all learn the 

necessary skills to ensure that in times of 

emergency we are able to assist our work 

colleagues, but are we able to take these 

skills home, into the community or on to the 

sports field? 

Not all work places are the same and 

the injury risk for each place can be wide 

and variable. The office attended by 

administrators does not carry the same 

risk as those people working with heavy 

machinery, or perhaps at some distance from 

a regular ambulance service. It is therefore 

essential that you pick the right first aid 

course to suit all of your activities – both 

professional 

and social. 

Take, for example, an office worker who 

does not have a high risk work environment 

and whose concern might be to ensure that 

they can deal with minor cuts and superficial 

injuries, or the ability to perform effective 

CPR. These skills can be achieved on a 

course of eight hours duration and would 

generally fit into low to medium risk area. 

But take this same person on to a sports field 

either as a spectator or player when a higher 

level injury occurs. The eight hour course 

covering unit standards 6402 and 6401 (or 

26551 and 26552) does not cover head neck 

and spinal injuries, eye injuries, hypothermia 

and poisonings. 

The majority of injuries occur outside of 

the work place, in fact one in three injuries 

occurs in the home, making it the most 

common place for injuries to happen. 


New Zealand children are twice as likely 

to die through injury as children who live 

in Australia. They mostly die as a result of 

motor vehicles accidents or falls in the home. 

fatalities from leisure and sport are not far 

behind those in the workplace. 

The wider 12 hour course teaches the 

additional unit standard 6400 and provides 

a wide knowledge base for medium to high 

risk environments. This course covers many 

of the skills required to deal with the most 

common injuries, such as falls (which can 

result in head neck and spinal injuries) and 

dealing with complex scenes such as motor 

vehicle accidents. 

If you are not sure on the course best 

suited to your needs, ask your accredited 

first aid training provider. They can explain 

the course content and give you options that 

will best suit your needs. Look beyond the 

workplace and consider your family and 

your location. Check that you have a good 

quality first aid kit that is up-to-date with 

replenished items, and that everyone knows 

where it is located.

HEALTH & BEAUTY 

Be health smart 

this winter 

HaNDS arE the main pathways of germ 

transmission. Hand hygiene is therefore 

the most important measure to avoid the 

transmission of harmful germs. 

Wash your hands, before & after food 

preparation and eating, if you borrow 

someone elses equipment and of course 

after blowing your nose. For convienience 

it is a good idea to have hand sanitiser on 

hand to use in between washing. 

Sneezing & coughing into the crook 

of your arm or tissues rather than your 

hand, reduces the spread of airborne 

bugs. remove tissues to the rubbish 

immediately. 

Keep hydrated, two thirds of your body 

is made of water, so keeping hydrated 

is one of the most important things you 

can do for your health. Dehydration 

symptoms range from headaches to 

nausea to fatigue, but the effects of 

dehydration on your immune system are 

not always as obvious. Staying hydrated 

keeps the mucus membranes moist, which 

keeps the immune system functioning 

optimally. Unfortunately, lattes and wine 

don’t count, but upping your intake of 

water is incredibly beneficial. aim to 

drink at least eight glasses of water a day. 

You’ll notice the difference! 

Eat in season, poor nutrition impairs 

the immune response. Fresh vegetables, 

fruits, nuts, grains and legumes or pulses 

are full of immune-boosting properties 

and antioxidants. Nature provides fresh 

seasonal foods to compensate for what 

our bodies are lacking at that time of 

year. Kiwifruit & citrus fruits that are in 

season throughout winter are packed with 

Vitamin C. 

Stress less, although short periods of 

stress can actually be good for us longterm 

chronic stress lowers our immunity, 

making us more susceptible to colds and 

flu. We all have our own ways of coping 

and reducing stress so whether it’s taking 

a bath, going to the gym, getting outdoors 

in the garden or having fun with the kids, 

do something to unwind. Not only are 

you doing your adrenal glands a favour, 

you’re also reducing your chances of being 

struck down by the latest virus. 

Get a good night’s sleep, sleep is 

essential for your body to rest, repair and 

rejuvenate. (Don’t you find you always 

tend to look your best after a good night’s 

sleep?) The human growth hormone 

that’s released during sleep helps repair 

your body at a cellular level, but it’s 

also beneficial for the immune system. 

Interrupted sleep (or just not enough of 

it) significantly reduces the effectiveness 

of your immune system, particularly the 

natural killer cells, which is your body’s 

first line of defence against germs.
