DO-GOOD: Local hero and baker Brian Cate also delivers food to struggling families.
• By Julia Evans
BAKER BRIAN Cate starts
work at 1am.
But when his shift is over at
Sydenham Bakery by 10am, Mr
Cate doesn’t always head home
to bed. For the last 16 years,
every Tuesday and Thursday
he has delivered food parcels to
families from Burnside to Belfast
and every suburb in between.
Mr Cate has spent nearly 6000
hours volunteering through
the Papanui Baptist Church, in
conjunction with 0800 Hungry,
delivering food to more than
11,000 families and individuals
in the north-west.
Without Mr Cate at least
14 local families would be

ONE OF the last “gentleman’s
estates” in the city has been given a
new lease of life.
A heritage incentive grant of
$135,979 for Opawa’s Cardowan
estate was approved by the city
council.
The property at 64 Opawa Rd
was built in the 1860s at a time
when the suburb was a desirable
residential area and land was being
subdivided into gentlemen’s estates
for professional men.
But Cardowan was badly damaged
in the earthquakes and subsequently
sold on an as is, where
is basis to TT Properties Ltd,
which want to repair and restore
the home and rejuvenate its large
gardens.
TT Properties Ltd director Tangi
Karati applied to the council for a
heritage grant to help meet the cost
of the work, which is estimated at
close to $300,000.
The $135,979 grant is subject
to a 20-year limited conservation
covenant being placed on the
property.

TOP MARKS to Brian Cate, the Sydenham
Bakery baker on our front page today.
Brian is one of these people who work
odd hours – most bakers do.
His shift starts at 1am and he works
through until 9 or 10am and then his after work time starts.
That includes charity work; delivering food parcels to families
through a programme at his church.
And then it’s off home and he’ll be in the sack by around 5pm
to get enough sleep to start his work day all over again at 1am.
For his charity work, Brent has received a Kiwibank Local
Hero Award, alongside a number of other Cantabrians.
The Local Hero Awards are the real deal. Well deserved Brian.

Lanes for coastal pathway
• By Sarla Donovan
LANES WILL be marked to
separate cyclists and pedestrians
on the Christchurch Coastal
Pathway.
The measures are needed, the
Coastal Pathway Group said,
as the path was attracting an
increasing number of cyclists -
peaking around 5pm
Chairman Scott Babington
said outside that time, there were
currently about 100 walkers and
cyclists a day passing through
Scott Park, “ which is the area
most affected.”
He said on the whole, the two
groups shared the pathway well,
but it made sense to provide
markings and signs informing
users it was a shared space.
The New Zealand Transport
Agency doesn’t impose a speed
limit on shared pathways, but
Mr Babington said they may
need to consider introducing
one.
“Especially with the advent
of electric bikes which may
use the pathway and are often
very powerful and used by
inexperienced cyclists.”
Shared paths are for “slower
more relaxed travel,” according
to the NZTA website.
“On a shared path you
should put your e-bike in a
low power setting and cycle at
a speed consistent with other
users so that it does not put
others at risk or make them feel
uncomfortable when you pass.”
CPG is working on a signage
plan at the moment, which
would be based on the one at
Hagley Park.
“We have other measures
(planned) such as different
surfaces on the pathway to make
the point to users that this is a
shared pathway and if they want
to cycle fast then there are the
on-road cycle lanes to use.”
Mr Babington said there
was standard shared pathway
signage already but it was “very
ugly and visually obtrusive and I
think completely ineffective. So
we are working with the council
on better, more appropriate
options.”
CPG committee member
Janine Banbury said she was
working with a designer to
create pavement graphics and
expected to have them finished
by Christmas.
Redcliffs Residents
Association secretary Pat
McIntosh said they were in full
support of putting better signage
in place.

Christmas tips to keep
your pets safe over the
festive season
‘Tis the season to be jolly! In the spirit of the
coming festive season the staff at McMaster
and Heap Veterinary Practice wish to give
you some helpful tips on how to keep your
pets safe and happy over this busy time.
Festive foods:
Many festive foods can be harmful and
toxic to cats & dogs – here are some of
the major ones that pop up every year at
Christmas time!
Grapes and Raisins - Some types of
grapes and raisins have been shown to
cause kidney failure in dogs when eaten
in toxic quantities. So think before offering
your pet some tasty Christmas cake or
yummy ‘treats’ off the fruit platers.
Onions - Pieces of raw onion, onion
powder, or even cooked onion can cause
damage to red blood cells, which could
result in hemolytic anemia.
Garlic - fresh and powdered forms of garlic
are more potent than onions. These also
cause damage to red blood cells. Cats are
much more sensitive as they have more
fragile red blood cells.
Xylitol - Xylitol is a sugar alternative that
is used in many commercial ‘sugar-free’
candies, gum, and other food items.
Xylitol has been shown to cause severe
hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and liver
damage in dogs and can be fatal. Xylitol
keeps popping up in unexpected places –
the newest one is peanut butter, so be sure
to read the label carefully.
Macadamia Nuts - dangerous to dogs
when eaten can result in weakness,
depression, vomiting, incoordination, and
tremors. In most cases, dogs developed
clinical signs within the first twelve hours
after eating the macadamia nuts.
Chocolate - Contains Theobromine and
caffeine which can cause increased heart
rate, tremors, and excitation, depending
on the type and the quantity ingested
potentially death when ingested at a toxic
dose. Other effects seen with chocolate
overdose are vomiting, diarrhea, increased
thirst, increased urination, and lethargy.
Dark chocolate is the most serious as it
contains the most theobromine, then milk
chocolate, while white chocolate doesn’t
contain any, but still not healthy for your
dog to have.
Cooked bones – These easily splinter
and the bone shards can cause choking or
get stuck in your dog’s gums or stomach
resulting in emergency surgery. Discourage
your dog from foraging in your bins and try
to secure all of the lids.
Christmas Decorations
Christmas decorations are not for pets to
play with.
• Keep your pet away from plants, many of
which are poisonous, especially lilies which
are extremely toxic for cats and results in
acute kidney failure.
• Keep electrical wires and batteries out of
your pets reach. Chewing electrical cables
can cause electric shock or burns to the
mouth.
• Be careful if you are using tinsel on your
tree. If eaten, the tinsel can block your pets
intestines – we saw several of these last
Christmas!
Don’t forget about your RABBITS
Flystrike is a serious condition in rabbits.
It occurs mostly in the summer months
and we see a lot of cases over the holiday
season as people get really busy and forget
to regularly check on their pets.
Flystrike is extremely distressing and it is
also potentially fatal. It is caused by flies that
are attracted to damp fur, urine, faeces and
the odour of the rabbit’s scent. The flies
will land on the rabbit normally around the
rabbits rear end and lay their eggs. Within
a very short time of 2 hours the eggs will
hatch into maggots which start to feed on
the rabbits skin. This process happens very
quickly and is not always caught in time.
Check your rabbit twice a day and if you
find a maggot on your rabbit take it to us
immediately.

Cate with his local hero award.

Baker takes local hero award
•From page 1
“I started through my
church, other people were
doing it so I joined in,” Mr
Cate said.
He said it was nice to
be acknowledged but
preferred to keep a low
profile and get on with
helping the people he had
made a connection with
over the years.
He said he would carry
on helping them for the
foreseeable future.
”But you’ve got to have
the right heart,” he said.
Mr Cate was one of four
recipients of the local hero
award from the northwest.
Others included Cilla
Glasson, of Merivale, who
also volunteers for 0800
Hungry, delivering food
and often gifting toys
and clothes to struggling
families every Thursday.
Bryndwr’s Alan Dickson
won an award after
Kerbside public
holiday collection
is changing
volunteering at
0800 Hungry for eight
years.
Gary Linford Watts,
of Northcote, received
an award as the project
manager of SigJaws
Trust, which supports
the disadvantaged and
disabled.
Mr Linford Watts has
also been a volunteer
fireman and is president of
the Christchurch Savage
Club.
Starting this Christmas, you will notice a change with
your kerbside collection on certain public holidays.
Wheelie bins will now be collected a day after their
usual collection day.
MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT
• Monday collections will be picked up on Tuesday
• Tuesday collections will be picked up on Wednesday
• Wednesday collections will be picked up on Thursday
• Thursday collections will be picked up on Friday
• Friday collections will be picked up on Saturday
These changes will only affect Christmas Day, New Years Day,
Easter Good Friday and ANZAC Day, for all other holidays
collection will continue as normal.
Thanks to everyone who gave feedback on this through our survey.
Please ensure wheelie bins are placed at the kerbside by 6am
on collection day.

New fundraiser for historic jetty
Fire rages, homes at risk
• By Sarla Donovan
A NEW fundraising appeal to
help save the historic Governors
Bay jetty has been launched this
week.
The ‘sponsor a plank’ initiative
aims to raise $750,000, which together
with funds already raised
by the Jetty Restoration Trust
and committed
by the city
council, will
bring the total
to around $1.35
million.
People,
families, or
businesses who
donate $500
Louisa Eades
or more will be recognised as
“Plank Sponsors”, with a plaque
engraved with their name or
short message on a plank on the
new Jetty.
Trust secretary Louisa Eades
has also written a piece for the
New Zealand Women’s Weekly
about how the jetty was rescued
and the journey so far towards
restoration.
Her story will be published
early next year.
She’s hoping the publicity
will broaden the appeal beyond
Christchurch.
The jetty has been a feature
of the bay since 1874 and is an
important part of Canterbury
history.
Before the road over Dyers
Pass made the bay accessible
by vehicle, twice-daily steam
launches ran from Lyttelton to
Governors Bay.
These boats dropped passengers
off on the Jetty to spend
the day picnicking or visiting the
“pleasure gardens” at the Ocean
View Hotel (now Governors Bay
Hotel.)
“I just can’t imagine it not

Bay Jetty.

being there,” said Ms Eades. “It’s
like the Cathedral in the square
or the Esplanade in Sumner.
It’s just part of the bay, and an
important historical feature.”
At just under 300 metres long,
the jetty is the same length as the
New Brighton pier, but low to the
water and timber-made.
“It’s an amazing place to walk
along or boat to,” said trust
chairman Simon Mortlock.
The city council last year
agreed to temporarily sell ownership
for $1 to the Governors Bay
Jetty Restoration Trust who will
repair it before returning it back
to the city council.
The repair is expected to cost
up to $3 million.

Halswell skate parks
Historic cafe gets
new lease of life
•From page 1
It was originally home to David
McKay, an immigration officer
with the Canterbury Provincial
Government who also administered
the Charitable Aid Fund.
Mr McKay defaulted on the
mortgage repayments on the
house after he was charged with
embezzlement, lost his job and his
wife left him.
The house was bought by
Georgiana Thomson, the widow
of accountant William Thomson,
who was a captain with the
Canterbury Yeomanry Calvary,
Provincial Auditor and Official
Assignee at the time of his death
in 1866.
She named the two-storey
weatherboard house Cardowan
after a suburb in Glasgow.
When Georgiana Thompson
died she passed the house to
her son, John. He had arrived in
Canterbury as a child with his
parents and spent his early years
working on sheep stations before
taking up his father’s profession.
In his retirement John Thomson
took up walking long distances
on the Port Hills and in 1931 he
gifted 63 acres of land on the Port
Hills (now known as Thomson
Park) to the public.

THE TWO proposed Halswell
skate parks are one step closer
with the deadline for tender
applications closing yesterday.
After three years of planning,
the Halswell Domain and
Knights Stream skate parks
are expected to be ready by late
April, instead of January as
initially planned.
City council head of parks
Brent Smith said after the
resource consents were lodged,
the skate parks went out for
tender on November 16.
The consent process took
longer than expected and, as
a result, construction of both
parks has been delayed.
Halswell Residents Association
secretary David Hawke
said the skate parks are fantastic
and they will have a good impact
on the community.
“If you look at one of the
things the Halswell Hub is doing,
it’s got a different type of
outreach I suppose, for young
people in our community and
the skate parks fit into that bigger
picture,” he said.
Mr Hawke said parents are
currently having to drive their
children to Prebbleton to skate.
“You see people doing what
they’re not supposed to be
doing, which is sort of bounce
their scooters and skateboards
about in the supermarket
carparks and so on,” he said.
The city council won’t know
if both sites will be managed
together until a contractor has
been selected. Mr Smith said
the city council is intending on
choosing a contractor before
Christmas.
He said construction on both
skate parks should start at the
beginning of February, with
landscaping to be completed in
May.
PROGRESS: The
Halswell Domain
skate park (pictured)
and the Knights
Stream skate
park are both on
their way to being
built, with tender
applications closing
yesterday.

Principal’s Report
Warm greetings to
the Linwood College
community. Kia ora
koutou. Talofa lava.
Kia orana. Malo e
lelei. Bula. Fakaalofa
atu. Namaste.
Kumusta.
Linwood College
enjoys celebrating
student success in all its forms so our
congratulations to the prizewinners
highlighted on this page. I would like to also
congratulate all Junior students who were
awarded prizes at the 2017 Junior Prize Giving
ceremony held on 11th December.
Our community views education as
the wellbeing of the whole person. All
developmentally positive experiences enrich
our students’ understanding of whom they
are and broaden their outlook. They nurture
students’ classroom focus by contextualising
their learning and sowing the seeds of positive
ambition.
Linwood College believes in a “pathwayed
Other Major Award Winners
curriculum”. This means the school, students
and families knowing:
1. Students’ learning and skills as they come
into LC from our partner primary schools
and building on these successes
2. How the learning at LC connects to what
the students want to do when they leave
school. “What are my post-school pathways
and how does my LC help me achieve these
pathways?”
In this way learning is meaningful to the
individual and strengths-based. At Linwood
the individual matters.
Finally, the Education Review Office reviewed
Linwood College in the second half of term 3.
The confirmed report is now public and I am
delighted to say that the school is back on the
three year return cycle. It is a testament to
everyone’s collective vision and positive work
for our school: BOT, staff, students, whanau,
partner schools and community.
Nga mihi nui and best wishes for the festive
season and summer holiday.

Year 10s get Enterprising
Last week ninety Year 10 students worked
hard for three days in the school gym to create
business ideas. Two presenters from the Young
Enterprise Trust came to the school to lead the
students through the process of creating and
developing businesses. On Wednesday, the
students were put into groups of between five and
ten students and given the challenge of creating
a new business based on modern technology. By
Friday, the students were ready to present their
ideas and associated business plans to judges
from the local business community.
Here Sina Sila and her team mates are presenting
their idea ‘Zoinks’ - an app that stops you from making
unnecessary purchases to Gyaney from BP.
2017 Senior Prizegiving Awards
Early in Term 3, the school’s senior
students, teachers and families
gathered in the school hall to celebrate
the year’s successes. Prize winners

Shops bursting with
festive gift ideas
Finding those special gifts and stocking
fillers as well as the Christmas treats for
the table is so easy at our city’s malls and
shopping centres, where the shops are
bursting with festive merchandise.
Every woman likes to receive bodypampering
gifts, and there is a huge
selection of these priced to suit all budgets
at the many pharmacies and gift shops
around the city. Perfume is another
favourite and again there is a wide
selection to choose from, ranging from
exciting new releases to the well-known
fragrances that have stood the test of time.
Lingerie, jewellery, fashion accessories,
homewares and decor items – there’s no
end to the ideas for the women on the list.
The men are equally well catered for, from
the sophisticated metro-male boyfriends,
to the car-crazy brothers and the DIY

The countdown to the big day is well underway, so making
up the Christmas gift list will now be a top priority… if you
haven’t already done so.
enthusiast and keen gardener husbands
and dads. Choose from clothing, books,
tools, personal grooming items and
gadgets to put a smile on their face on
Christmas morning.
Speaking of smiles, nothing gives families
more joy than seeing the excitement
of the children opening their presents.
Whether they are delivered by Santa or
snuck under the tree by mum and dad,
the cuddly toys, games, dolls and building
blocks, the candy canes, toy trucks and
pretty dresses currently filling the shops
will bring squeals of sheer happiness from
the smallest family members.
The tweens and teens usually have their

Christmas, so the gift cards offered by a
wide range of retailers are the perfect way
to please.

Fire warning as
summer starts
Cashmere win close final
to claim water polo title
• By Andrew King
CASHMERE High’s year 10
water polo team won the B
grade title at the South Island
junior secondary schools
championships.
Playing Papanui High in
the final, they narrowly won
1-0 thanks to a solid defensive
performance from Rosie Howard,
which saw her named most
valuable player in the decider.
Heading into the last quarter
at 0-0, it took a moment of
SPORTS
brilliance by Holly Cartwright
who scored after intercepting
a loose pass from Papanui’s
goalkeeper.
The teams met in the roundrobin
with Cashmere coming out
on top 4-2.
Cashmere coach Tom
Wilkinson said both teams had
a better understanding of each

other’s play which led to a much
tighter encounter in the final.
He said after a hiatus, the sport
is making a comeback at the
school. “We have not had a water
polo programme for 10 years
until we started it again last year
with this group of girls,” he said.
“We had three teams this year
so it is increasing in popularity.”
“This is also due to the work
of St Martins and Christchurch
South Intermediate, who are in
our school zone (and) have been
pushing it at year 7 and 8.”
heating up early
• By Mark Thomas – fire risk
management officer
AS THE summer heats up, so
does the number of calls our
troops are attending.
It’s normal to have about 100
calls in a week.
Weather events, of course, add
to the number.
So the 169 incidents attended
last week can at least in part be
attributed to the weather, or the
heat, to be more precise.
A large number of false
alarms, presumably from fire
detection systems drooping and
a large number of ambulance
assists including, unfortunately,
several sudden deaths, added to
the list.
Also we attended far too many
grass and skip or bin fires.
While a few of these are the
result of accidents most of them
were lit deliberately.
Whether it be kids playing or
malicious fire-starters, the dry
conditions make all of these
potentially serious.
The Governors Bay crew were
called to the local hotel on December
2 to what turned out to
be a patron puffing on a vaping
cigarette.
It’s a first for me to see this but
hardly surprising.
I followed a car the other day
with two people both vaping
and both front windows open.
The clouds of vapour they
were seemingly choreographing
erupted from both sides of the
car like whistles from a steam
train. I guess it’s better for them
than the alternative!
Sprinklers in buildings are
expensive. But one operating in
Pak’nSave in the Hornby Hub
on December 3 stopped a fire
from a bakers oven in its tracks.
The mall re-opened quickly.
That’s why we love sprinkler
systems.

From the Board
As we go to print we are excited to hear
our new Bishop, Fr Paul Martin SM,
has been appointed to Christchurch. In
celebrating the news, a special thank
you must go to Fr Rick Loughnan for
his leadership in the interim, to the
Diocese for its ongoing support and
we remember Bishop Barry Jones
with fondness. Bishop-Elect Paul’s
appointment represents an exciting
new phase of growth for our
Catholic community.
Thank you to our Board of Trustees,
college and community and members
of the Marian Foundation for your work
throughout 2017.
To our Marian girls – relax and enjoy the
well-earned break. There are some fantastic
programmes, and collaborative project
opportunities planned for 2018.
And finally, congratulations to our 2017
Marian College leavers. The gospel values
– which underpin the special character of
Marian College – will guide you well into
the future. We wish you all the very best
and please keep in touch.
Wishing you good health and blessings
this Christmas.

Georgiana Vaughan-Walker (right) Y12
has received the St John Grand Prior
Award in a ceremony hosted by the
Governor-General in Dunedin.
The Grand Prior Award is the ultimate
award, other than for bravery, for St John
Cadets. Georgiana was one of 90 cadets
- including former Marian student Steph
Wessing (left) - from around New Zealand
to receive the prestigious award.
‘I love learning new leadership skills and
I’m really thankful I joined St John, as
otherwise I wouldn’t have considered the
Navy as a career path,’ she says.
Georgiana’s plans include a gap year,
travel, and a career in the Navy
as a medic.
The opportunities and benefits of an innercity
campus are many for Marian College
students.
From Year 11, students can choose to
earn credits at Ara Institute of Canterbury,
making the most of excellent facilities and
teaching expertise – just across the road.

from Otago University. Keely will be
participating in a week-long Hands-on
at Otago programme during the summer
holidays to experience being a science
student on campus.
Keely says she is very excited to be
accepted onto the fully-funded programme.
‘I’m interested in a career in health,
science and physiology so it will be a great
opportunity to see what Otago University is
like,’ she says.
‘Recognising my gifts and
understanding how I can use them to
help others, was the biggest realisation
for me,’ Rawinia says.
Zonta Awards
The Zonta Awards are a celebration of the
highest sports achievers - leaders in their
sport locally and often competitors on the
world stage.
This year, three Marian College students
were finalists at the Zonta Sports Awards.
Renee Rae won the top award for her
contribution to netball umpiring. A judge
said Renee follows a long tradition of
Marian students who have won the award,
and there was something very special about
Marian College and its tradition of service.
Rebecca Lake (Ngāi Tahu, Ngāti Irakehu)
and Millicent Smith (Ngāpuhi) were both
nominated for outstanding achievement
for their New Zealand representation
in football and ice hockey respectively.
This is the second year Rebecca has been
acknowledged in the highly competed
category.

Adding to opportunities in Halswell
Halswell
Community
Project’s
chairwoman
Chrys Horn
talks about
the Nga
Puna Wai
Sports Hub and what it’ll
mean to the Halswell and
surrounding communities
Great sports opportunities –
both formal and informal and
more spaces which can be used
by our community are two
things that we can expect as Nga
Puna Wai develops.
Halswell is already a great
place for those interested in sport
and the developments in Nga
Puna Wai will add in athletics,
tennis and hockey to the
opportunities that already exist
in the area.
The addition of a pavilion with
café and bar facilities is also a
bonus for those who will use

the site for. We understand also
that the pavilion will have space
available for the community to
hire for their own events.
For Halswell people there
will also be great walking and
cycling opportunities as well as
community sports fields that can
be used for casual games. Many
people already use the area for
walking and this will not change.
We are hopeful that there
will be great cycle paths that
will connect from Aidanfield
through to Curletts Rd
and provide a safe and fun
way for Hillmorton High
School students to bike to school.
In addition they could also
provide a way to connect Hoon
Hay and Halswell Rd through to
the cycleway alongside the new
Southern Motorway.
It’s likely it will also be great
for local businesses – especially
those that will be setting up in
the new Halswell Commons
subdivision. The Halswell
Community Project is hopeful
they will be able to set up a
local weekly farmers market
when these developments are all
complete. As the area grows this
facility will be a wonderful
addition to the recreation
opportunities available
in Halswell, Wigram and
Hillmorton and Spreydon.
Pupils turn hand-made
goods into cold hard cash
• By Emily O’Connell
ST BERNADETTE’S School
pupils turned hand-made and
secondhand goods into money at
their market day last Thursday.
All 140 pupils, from new
entrants through to the year 8
students, were involved in the
market.
“We believe that every child

school’s market day.
has something worthwhile to
offer. One of the children in our
school is blind, he was able to
contribute by brailing labels for
bookmarks,” assistant principal
Lyn Satherley said.
Miss Satherley said each class
decided on a reward they would
like to have at the end of the
school term with the money they
raised.
She said classes then began
thinking about, and researching
products or services they could
sell or offer at the school market.
“Having a market offers an
authentic purpose for hands on
learning, across the curriculum;
science, maths, literacy, health,
the arts and in the key competencies,”
Miss Satherley said.
Sweets, bookmarks, secondhand
items, stress balls, games,
cards and sausages all went up
for sale.
The school also had a cafe,
face painting station, hair colour
station, traditional games, and a
water balloon throw.
“Having all of the children involved
in the market allows them
to take ownership over their
learning and working as a team,”
Miss Satherley said.
She said any additional profit
from the market will go towards
a community day at the end of
the term.
St Bernadette’s hold a market
day every second year.

GREAT food
BROUGHT TO YOU BY...
Your fresh food people
CHRISTMAS HAM ON THE BONE GLAZED WITH PINEAPPLE
Ingredients
4kg ham on the bone
1 cup canned crushed pineapple,
drained
1 cup brown sugar, tightly packed
1 tsp ground ginger
Directions
Preheat the oven to 180 deg
C. Run a knife around the shank
end of the ham. Carefully slice
under the edge of the rind at the
base of the ham. Use your fingers
to ease between the rind and the
fat. Pull to gently remove the
rind. With a sharp knife, score
the fat with 3mm-deep cuts in a
diamond pattern. Place ham in a
foil-lined oven pan large enough
to catch any glaze that drips as it
cooks. Surround ham with one
cup cold water.
Drain pineapple and combine
with glaze ingredients in a bowl.
Smear glaze over scored fat of
ham.
Bake ham for 40-45min,
basting at regular intervals until
the glaze has caramelised to a
golden brown.
Rest the baked ham for at least
15min before carving. Sliced ham
can either be served hot or at
room temperature.
ROSE PETAL MERINGUE WITH SUMMER BERRIES AND STRAWBERRY SAUCE
Ingredients
5 eggs
300g caster sugar
1 Tbsp cornflour
1 Tbsp dried rose petals
300 ml cream
250g blueberries
250g raspberries
1 lime
250g strawberries
Directions
Preheat the oven to 200 deg C
and line a flat baking sheet with
non-stick baking paper. Using
an electric beater, whip the egg
whites until firm, then whisk in
the sugar. Fold in the cornflour
and rose petals and place large
spoonfuls of the mixture onto
the baking sheet. Bake for 40-
45min.
When the meringue tops are
crisp, remove them from the
oven and leave to cool. For the
sauce, puree the strawberries
and lime juice in a blender. If the
flavour is too sharp, add a little
icing sugar.
Whip the cream until it looks
soft. Mix the berries in a bowl.
Place a meringue on each plate
with a pile of cream next to it,
and pour over the sauce and

Miracle weight loss fruit
An extract of a small pumpkin-like fruit
called Garcinia Cambogia from India &
Asia has shown itself to greatly assist weight
management & overall health. In fact many
have found it to increase fat loss by 2 to 3
times greater than normal. T.V. Dr. Oz has
said it is the most effective & fastest working
natural supplement to support weight loss.
Even without exercise & diet changes
many have found it beneficial, although even
better & quicker results are often obtained
with extra exercise & an improved diet.
The extract of this amazing fruit is called
Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) or CitriMax.
Research has shown HCA to help suppress
the appetite, reduce cravings, feel fuller for
longer, increase energy levels, help prevent
fat from being made & stored in the body,
increase lean muscle mass, increase
serotonin levels in the brain that
help control mood & sleep
(great for emotional eaters),

the chances of strokes
& cardiovascular
disease, help prevent
sugar spikes as well

According to ethnobotanist Chris
Kilham, Dilo (pronounced dee-lo)
Oil is a powerful skin regenerator as
it is one of the most effective agents
in promoting the regeneration and
formation of new tissue, thereby
accelerating wound healing and
the growth of healthy skin. Dilo
Oil is super-absorbing and can
penetrate all three layers of the
skin, offering exceptional cell
hydration and regeneration.
As well as this, Dilo Oil has
potent anti-inflammatory,
antimicrobial, antifungal and
antioxidant properties.
Traditionally, Dilo Oil is used to keep the
skin young and youthful and for just about
any skin complaint. Some of the conditions
for which it is considered helpful include

FRESH: Tomato plants ready to leave Rolleston.
Rolleston Prison donates
tomato plants to
social housing tenants
MORE than 5000 tomato
plants have been handed
over to the Ōtautahi Community
Housing Trust to
be donated to city housing
tenants.
The plants are an annual
project at Rolleston Prison
and are grown from seed
to plant ready for home
gardens.
The plants take eight to
ten weeks from planting
and germination until
they are ready to be collected.
“This project gives
prisoners an opportunity
to give something back
and provides people in
the community with the
means to grow healthy
food for themselves and
their family,” said Rolleston
Prison director Mike
Howson.
“Many of the prisoners
know what it is like to
struggle financially and
they enjoy the opportunity
to do something for the
community, especially
near to Christmas.
Seeing the plants leave
the prison for a person’s
garden means a great deal
to the men involved,” he
said.
More than 40,000
tomato plants have been
cultivated and donated
since the Tomatoes for
Tenants Project began
in 2008 and the annual
delivery of the tomatoes is
highly anticipated by the
city housing tenants.
Rick Fraser of Ōtautahi
said the trust values the
partnership with Rolleston
Prison and many tenants
appreciate the plants and
save a space in their gardens
for them.
Leftover plants are gifted
to schools and community
groups.

Time to check your tyres before
heading away on holiday
As the holidays approach and plans are
made for summer road trips, now is the
time to check that your tyres are in good
condition, says Julie Hurst of JCM Direct,
the tyre specialists in Birmingham Drive.
Julie and her husband Athol own the
business, with Julie running it on a dayto-day
basis.
Now that WOFs on later model vehicles
are issued every 12 months, drivers may
be unaware that their tyres are becoming
worn, Julie says.
“Come in and see us. We offer free tyre
checks, so you can head away on holiday
knowing they are roadworthy and your
family is safe.”
If tyres do need replacing, JCM Direct
offers a wide variety of quality brands at
very competitive prices. They have new
tyres for everything from cars, vans and
4WDs, to caravans, ride-on mowers,
wheelbarrows and trailers. As well as an
excellent selection of quality second-hand
tyres for most vehicles, they hold a vast
selection of 4WD tyres in stock.
JCM Direct also offer puncture repairs,
supply and fitting of new and secondhand
alloy wheels, wheel alignments,
replacement factory steel rims and rim
repairs.
“We also specialise in old rims from
the 1930s to 1970s for people with older
caravans and trailers – the modern rims
won’t fit those,” Julie says.
Finance is available with Q Card or
Farmers Card.
JCM Direct is located on the corner
of Birmingham Drive and Hands Road.
They are open Monday to Friday, 9.30am-

Is your property
safe from fire?
Here’s a guide to help understand
the risk in your area
During the fire season, there are some risks you need to know about to help keep you,
your family and your property safe.
Throughout New Zealand, there are different levels of risk, depending on where you
live and what the area around you is like. As we build more and more homes in
previously rural areas, the level of risk is different to properties built in a more urban
setting. Make sure you check your property and are aware of your surroundings so
you can be best prepared this fire season.
Steps you need to take to keep your property safe
1

3
Make sure you have a ‘safe zone’ around your property
- Clear vegetation close to your home. This could fuel a fire if one started.
- Choose plants with low flammability – native plants are often better.
- Keep your lawns mowed and green.
- Don’t store firewood close to the house.
- Clear your gutters of dry leaves.
- Be careful when using any mechanical equipment in dry conditions.
Have an escape plan and an agreed safe meeting place
- Go to www.escapeplanner.co.nz to make a plan to get out of your
home safely and agree a safe meeting place. Practise this regularly.
- Think about where you will meet if you need to evacuate the area.
- Have an emergency evacuation kit in case you need to leave quickly.
- If in doubt, leave early.
Good access for firefighters
- Fire trucks need a lot of space to manoeuvre. Make sure there are no
overgrown trees or other obstacles that may prevent access to your
property.
- We can pump from water supplies such as a pond, pool or tank.
- Make sure your address or RAPID number is clearly visible.
The fire risk applies to everyone, no matter where you live.

ALI HARPER CELEBRATES
THE JOY OF CHRISTMAS
AWARD winning entertainer - Ali Harper - is
once again bringing some Christmas Joy to
Canterbury. Aer her sold out Christmas Joy
shows last year, Ali has put together another
beautifully festive concert incorporating the
Voices Co Youth Ensemble along with winner
of TVNZ’s Naked Choir and founder of Voices
Co, Julian Hay on piano.
“I adore this time of year. Not only because
I see it through the eyes of my children but
because it’s a special time to reflect on the past
year, the joys and the challenges. I have
created a concert that will include the angelic
voices of children singing which is both pure
and for me what Christmas is all about.”
In a career spanning 25 years, Ali has
starred in numerous musicals and plays across
CHRISTMAS JOY Produced by Ali-Cat Productions
Starring: Ali Harper, Voices Co Youth Ensemble,
Lily Barrowcliffe and Julian Hay.

Room in New York, entertained on cruise
ships, made numerous television appearances,

“YOU would be mad not to go and sparkle
in Ali Harper’s light.” - eatreview 2017.
“Loud applause for this generously gied
actress, with an all-enveloping voice that can
take us with her no matter what she sings, is a
further extension of the celebration of song that
Ali offers.” - Lindsay Clark, eatreview
