Terrific touch down 

Rangi Ruru Girls’ School won the Canterbury secondary school touch championships at the weekend, continuing on 

the good form they showed at the recent quadrangular tournament in which Bailey Chamberlain (above) crossed the 

line. Rangi finished top of their pool with three solid wins. They faced Kaiapoi High School in the semi-final, winning 

11-0, before encountering old foes St Margaret’s in another epic game which ended 4-2 to Rangi.

Independent 

evaluation of 

controversial 

intersection 

under way 

• By Julia Evans 

David 

Cartwright 

INDEPENDENT consultants 

have been commissioned to 

review a controversial Fendalton 

intersection. 

City council staff have reported 

to the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board and said 

consultants have 

been appointed to 

“provide an independent 

review/ 

opinion” of the 

Glandovey and 

Idris Rd intersection 

layout. 

It comes 

following a longstanding 

bid from the Glandovey, 

Idris and Straven Residents’ Association 

to improve pedestrian and 

cyclist safety at the intersection. 

The city council has also commissioned 

traffic modelling to 

forecast effects that any changes 

to the intersection and restrictions, 

such as those proposed for 

heavy vehicles, could have on the 

wider network. 

“Additional traffic counts have 

been commissioned . . . along with 

tube counts on the four arms of 

the intersection. The tube counts 

will measure volumes, speeds and 

classification of the vehicles, types 

and size,” the report said.

RESIDENTS CAMPAIGNING over the 

Glandovey/Idris Rd intersection have taken 

another step forward (see page 1). 

The city council has commissioned independent 

consultants to review the layout 

of the intersection which has been a sore point with people who 

live near there for sometime. 

If it wasn’t for the Glandovey, Idris and Straven Residents’ 

Association – and if I can take the liberty, coverage in Nor’West 

News - I suspect little would have been done about the matter. 

The group also has a very good individual within its ranks in 

the form of James Wilding. With his legal background he has 

the natural ability to think outside of the square and possibly, 

more importantly, to read what lies between the lines.

Traffic safety idea mooted 


THE POWER to upgrade 

intersections could soon go back 

to community boards. 

And city councillor Aaron 

Keown said the news is a “great 

development” for the Harewood, 

Gardiners and Breens Rd intersection. 

At the city 

council’s draft 

Long Term 

Plan meeting 

on Wednesday, 

a motion was 

moved by 

Aaron Keown 

Mayor Lianne 

Dalziel to get 

public submissions 

on prioritising intersection 

upgrades, which may include 

providing community boards the 

ability to approve them. 

“There has been a lot of feedback 

expressing community 

concerns about the dangers presented 

at a range of intersections 

and the state of many streets and 

footpaths. We want to hear from 

the community about how they 

would like to prioritise that work 

so we can establish a prioritisation 

framework,’’ she said. 

Ms Dalziel specifically mentioned 

the Harewood intersection 

in relation to this project. 

Cr Keown has been lobbying 

to have the intersection upgraded 

for more than two years. 

It was the basis of his election 

campaign but installing lights 

was voted down by city councillors 

in last year’s Annual Plan. 

“It’ll be in the consultation 

document of the draft Long 

Term Plan . . . it’s a really good 

update,” he said. 

Cr Keown said the news comes 

SAFETY: A crash (left) at the intersection of Harewood, Breens 

and Gardiners Rd has reignited calls traffic lights be installed, 

which may soon be decided by the community board. 

following a crash involving a car 

which was carrying a baby at the 

intersection last week. 

He said the crash highlighted 

the “issue” at the intersection 

and the Long Term Plan could 

provide a potential “solution” as 

the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board would 

be able to approve upgrading the 

intersection to lights. 

“This time there was a baby in 

this car and it was hit on the side 

just over a metre from the baby. 

The baby was not injured but less 

than one second difference and 

it could have been an extremely 

tragic outcome.” 

He said the crash shows the 

city council’s duty of care in 

regard to the safety of residents 

at the intersection. 

But Cr Keown said it was up to 

the people to give the city council 

feedback, otherwise nothing 

would change. 

“People just need to submit. 

If they don’t submit and miss 

this opportunity, it won’t come 

around for another decade,” Cr 

Keown said. 

•The city council’s draft Long 

Term Plan will go out for 

consultation on the its website, 

www.ccc.govt.nz, from 

March 9.

Intersection 

evaluation 

under way 

•From page 1 

Board chairman David 

Cartwright said he was looking 

forward to seeing the results of 

the investigation and working towards 

plan to address residents’ 

concerns. 

“We don’t know what the 

outcome will be but getting these 

reports done is a step in the right 

direction,” he said. 

Mr Cartwright said the city 

council was being “thorough” in 

the reports, as it included looking 

at addressing impacts change 

could have on the wider area. 

A camera will be installed 

above the intersection to record 

traffic “turning motion.” 

The residents’ association 

received a report, which showed 

long, heavy vehicles could not 

turn the corner without cutting 

into other lanes, including cycle 

lanes. 

Spokesman James Wilding 

said the group is pleased the city 

council is reviewing the intersection. 

But he wants to make sure 

the city council is reviewing it 

against the appropriate standards 

and guidelines. 


IDEAS ARE being sought for 

the future use of two heritage 

buildings in Belfast. 

Individuals, groups and 

organisations interested in using 

or helping to fund the restoration 

of Kapuatohe Cottage and 

the former Belfast School master’s 

house on Main North Rd 

have until March 29 to submit 

ideas to the city council. 

The two buildings are on a list 

of 17 city council heritage buildings 

that sustained damage in 

the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes 

and are yet to be repaired. 

Repairs to the cottage have 

been estimated at $50,000 

and the house would be about 

$370,000. A city council report 

said the figures are based on 

preliminary investigation, not 

engineering reports. 

“Unfortunately, we don’t have 

enough money right now to 

repair all our heritage buildings 

within the next few years, so 

we need to prioritise how these 

funds should be spent,’’ city 

council acting head of parks 

Brent Smith said. 

The 19th-century colonial 

schoolmaster’s house was built 

in 1877 and was saved by public 

appeal as one of few historic 

buildings left in the area. 

It has a Heritage New Zealand 

category 2 status and high 

historical and social significance 

for its association with the development 

of public schooling in 

New Zealand. 

It also provided a link from 

Kaiapoi to Banks Peninsula for 

Ngāi Tūāhuriri. 

The interior of this building is 

protected under the city council’s 

District Plan. 

The cottage, built in 1912 and 

is linked the early settlement of 

Belfast in particular the Kapuatohe 

Hamlet subdivision. 

The interior of this building is 

also protected under the District 

Plan. 

“We want to hear from anyone 

who is interested in helping us to 

restore these buildings and put 

them to good use,’’ Mr Smith 

said. 

“People may be interested in

$11,000 to start forest planting 

Local 


Now 

In Brief 



A PORTION of Papanui Bush 

is set to be reinstated more than 

150 years after its last tree was 

felled. 

The city council has budgeted 

$11,000 to begin the first stage of 

the Papanui-Innes Community 

Board’s plan to regenerate the 

forest in Bridgestone Reserve and 

an unused drainage reserve on 

Langdons Rd. 

A city council staff report said 

planting would begin before the 

end of June, which would make it 

only the second native bush in the 

city alongside Riccarton Bush. 

Said the report: “Unlike Riccarton 

Bush were the foresight 

and vision of the Deans family 

protected approximately 7ha of 

this forest for future generations, 

Papanui Bush was immediately 

felled over a period of five to six 

years.” 

The bush once took up 36ha between 

what is now Papanui High 

School and Vagues Rd in 1850. 

The report said there is a 

“unique opportunity” to reflect 

some of the city’s natural, cultural 

and pioneering heritage 

through planting totara and 

other native trees and plants. 

But the modern version will be 

a lot smaller than it’s predecessor, 

which is one of the first things 

pioneers would have seen when 

FOREST: Funding has been set aside for a project pushed by John Stringer (above) which will 

see more than 1500 native plants and trees planted in Bridgestone Reserve in a bid to reinstate 

Papanui Bush.

walking into the city over the 

Port Hills. 

Community board member 

John Stringer has been lobbying 

to get the project under way. 

“This is essentially waste land 

that can now be planted and bird 

habitat developed to draw native 

tui, bellbird and kereru back in to 

Papanui,” he said 

Two plantings of 1100m2 and 

1000m2 at the north and south 

ends of the reserve – that would 

be about 1520 native trees, including 

70 totara. 

The planting would be done 

by Papanui High School and Mr 

Stringer said he plans to work 

with local businesses, other 

schools and organisations such 

as churches to help with future 

plantings. 

“I will be working hard to see 

if we can’t extend the idea to 

restore Papanui Bush through a 

phased series of community-led 

plantings not only on this drainage 

land but in other pockets that 

might be appropriate over time,” 

Mr Stringer said. 

UNI PARKING MEETING 

Canterbury University vice 

chancellor Rod Carr met with 

local community board chiefs 

in a bid to address parkingrelated 

issues in the area. 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board chairman 

David Cartwright and deputy 

Sam MacDonald, as well as 

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

chairman Mike Mora and 

deputy chairwoman Helen 

Broughton attended. 

TREES REMOVED 

Several trees have been removed 

from around the Fendalton, 

Waimairi and Harewood 

Wards, including some from 

Avonhead Park that were dead, 

dying or dangerous. A tree was 

also removed from outside 336 

Gardiners Rd in Harewood for 

health and safety reasons. 

CULTURE CELEBRATION 

City council staff are working 

on this year’s Culture Galore 

event, which is sponsored by the 


Community Board. Culture 

Galore is a celebration of culture, 

showcasing performing arts, 

crafts, demonstrations and 

global food. It will be held on 

March 10, at Ray Blank Park in 

Ilam. 

2 down, 4 to go! 

We’re working in three key central 

city intersections over six weekends, 

8pm Fri to 6am Mon, until 26 March. 

We’ve finished work in the Montreal/ 

Tuam intersection. There are four more 

weekends of work in two intersections 

to go. 

These intersections need replacing. 

We’re digging them out and rebuilding 

them to extend their lifespan. 

Road layers need ‘curing’, or drying time. 

If you don’t see us on site, don’t worry – 

we’ll be back again soon. 

The intersections will remain rougher 

than usual until April or May, when the 

final surface will be applied. 

Project delivered by: 

• Avoid unnecessary travel through the 

city. Go around using the four avenues. 

• When we’re working on Durham 

Street, use Barbadoes and Madras 

Streets to get in and out of the city. 

• Expect delays. Allow extra time and 

plan your travel using tfc.govt.nz. 

• Buses will run as usual. Expect 

short delays. 

• Bike or walk if you can. 

INTERSECTION 2 — Durham St 

2 — 5 March 

Durham Street between Lichfield Street and 

Tuam Street is closed. Tuam Street is one lane. 

Use Barbadoes and Madras Streets to get in and out of the city. 

INTERSECTION 3 — St Asaph St 

9 — 12 March 

St Asaph Street between Antigua Street and 

Hagley Avenue is closed. Antigua Street is 

one lane. 

Use Moorhouse to travel west. 

16 — 19 March 

Durham Street between Tuam Street and St 

Asaph Street is closed. Tuam Street is one lane. 

23 — 26 March 

St Asaph Street between Montreal Street and 

Antigua Street is closed. Antigua Street is 

one lane. 

Note: All works are subject to weather. In the event of bad weather, works will be rescheduled.

Your Local Views 

Raising profile of community board 

Papanui-Innes 

Community 

Board deputy 

chairwoman 

Emma Norrish 

writes about 

what exactly 

a community 

board is and what it can do 

for residents 

I first stood for the 

Papanui-Innes Community 

Board in 2013 when I realised a 

lot of people didn’t know what a 

community board was, why they 

existed, or what they did. 

I wanted to change this lack 

of awareness, and let people 

know that there is a lot more to 

community boards than just 

approving no stopping markings, 

tree removals and parking 

restrictions. 

Did you know that in the last 

year the Papanui-Innes Community 

Board has allocated just 

over $400,000 in funding to all 

sorts of different community 

groups, as well as to young people 

through our Positive Youth 

Development Scheme? 

Or that it has managed to get a 

project for the re-establishment 

of Papanui Bush off the ground? 

Or that we are pushing to get a 

virtual reality cycle teaching tool 

into local schools to encourage 

more children to use the nearby 

cycleway? 

One of the Papanui-Innes 

Community Board goals for 

this electoral term is to raise its 

profile within the community. 

The board now has a monthly 

newsletter and a Facebook page, 

and is continuing to network 

with community groups, attend 

local events, and it is now running 

a public forum open to anyone 

who is interested in talking 

to us at the start of each of our 

meetings. 

Meetings are all open to the 

public, the agenda is available 

online, and I have also started 

posting a video on my Facebook 

page a few days before each 

meeting giving a run-down of 

what is coming up. 

The board wants to be more 

than just a group of people 

sitting around a table making 

decisions for you. 

It wants to be making decisions 

based upon what it has 

heard from you – through 

talking to you in person in the 

community or at events, hearing 

from you on the Facebook 

page, reading your submission 

to a council plan or proposal, or 

even just through a good oldfashioned 

phone call. 

I encourage you to make your 

views and your voice heard, as 

this enable the board to help you 

make this the best community 

in Christchurch. 

Be it a cracked footpath which 

needs repairing, a small community 

event which you want help 

funding, a community facility 

you think is missing from our 

area, or some grand idea you 

would like to see made a reality 

– get in touch and let us know.

Readers respond to the 

news that two Papanui 

bus services are set to be 

cut as part of Environment 

Canterbury’s draft Long 

Term Plan 

Joy Scurr – I am really 

disappointed to hear that buses 

107 and 108 and going to be 

cancelled. I am 82-years-old and 

don’t have a car and rely on the 

buses to get to Northlands Shopping 

Centre to go shopping and 

go to the bank. Our rates keep 

going up but we are getting less 

services for what we pay. 

Karen Ravenwood – I am 

emailing in regards to the possible 

bus route cuts proposal. I live 

in Casebrook and catch the 108 

from Highsted Rd to Northlands 

Shopping Centre. I then have to 

catch the blue bus through to the 

exchange. Before the earthquakes 

I used to bus and the bus went 

straight through to town. After 

the earthquakes I started to take 

my car into town where I work 

full-time. 

Once my work moved to another 

location, I was encouraged 

to take the bus again, but having 

to change buses became quite 

annoying as the journey home 

was made longer as I had to wait 

at least 25min for my connecting 

bus from Northlands to Casebrook 

on many occasions 


Local 


Now 


This aside, it was cheaper to 

bus than having to pay a lot for 

parking. 

I was surprised to read of the 

cuts and while the bus at 7.19am 

from Casebrook is not always 

very full, it is the only bus that I 

can catch without having to drive 

to another stop, the closest being 

Harewood Rd and leave my car 

parked somewhere. 

While I appreciate that there 

are costing factors involved, I 

would like to see the 108 bus 

remain. 

If the route had not been 

changed to catching two buses 

through to town, I feel it would 

have still been a viable option. 

If people are to be encouraged 

to use the system, then chopping

Doug Soper – I read with 

interest and alarm, of Environment 

Canterbury’s proposed cuts 

to the bus services in and out of 

Northwood. 

My son uses the 107 and the 

108 primarily to get to and 

from Burnside High School, 

plus whenever he needs to get 

across town for social and/or 

other reasons, from our home in 

Northwood. 

If ECan follows through with 

the cut to this essential service, 

my son will have no other option 

other than to take a cab, at considerable 

cost to us.

Fire fears from neighbouring house 


THE NEIGHBOUR of a vacant 

and overgrown property in 

St Albans says she is “living a 

nightmare” plagued by fears a 

fire could spread to her home. 

Innes Rd resident Jillian Lloyd 

said the property next door has 

been in state of “complete neglect” 

after the owner walked out 

following the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake seven years ago. 

She is “terrified” a fire could 

start and has been in contact 

with the city council on “numerous” 

occasions. 

“It is full of rubbish, rats and 

overgrown trees. It still has 

the furniture in it and has had 

squatters,” she said. 

Ms Lloyd said the bid from 

the Papanui-Innes Community 

Board to find out how the city 

council can work with owners of 

vacant and abandoned properties 

to clear and tidy the sites to stop 

arson and vandalism attacks 

couldn’t have come soon enough. 

On Tuesday Ms Lloyd said she 

heard people in the house yelling 

and had to go out to tell them it 

was private property. 

“But it would just take one 

person dropping a cigarette and 

starting a fire, it would spread 

over to us.” 

The property still has power, 

so Ms Lloyd is also worried 

about rats chewing through 

wires and causing a blaze. 

She said her neighbours had 

been wanting to sell their 

property but were unable due to 

the “eyesore” and “danger” next 

door. 

On Christmas Day she 

returned home from a family 

lunch to find a rotten tree that 

had fallen from the property 

leaning over her driveway and 

onto her neighbour’s house. 

“I called the Cranford St fire 

brigade. They came and chopped 

the tree up and threw it back over 

the fence. They told me it was an 

extreme fire risk,” she said. 

Ms Lloyd said she called the 

city council and reported the 

incident on Tuesday. 

But head of regulatory compliance 

Tracey Weston said the 

compliance team was unaware 

of the incident. 

However, she said the city 

council is working with the 

property owner to clear rubbish 

from the site. 

“It can be confirmed that all 

the vegetation on the section was 

DANGER: 

Jillian Lloyd 

is worried 

about the 

fire risk from 

the property 

next to her 

St Albans 

home.

HUNTER 

green, wet and posed no immediate 

risk of fire.” 

City councillor Jamie Gough 

lobbied for derelict properties 

in the central city, dubbed the 

“Dirty 30,” to be cleared or 

repaired. 

Cr Gough said if the model 

used in the central city was 

rolled out to the suburbs, it 

would be “watered down.” 

“But I think more work needs 

to be done . . . the current tools 

we have to clear these sites isn’t 

working so I’m keen to explore 

what it would look like,” he said.

Teacher lobbies 

for crossing 

sign upgrade 


A BISHOPDALE teacher is 

lobbying to get safety concerns 

addressed outside Cotswold 

Primary School. 

Sam Hall wrote a letter to 

Harewood city councillor Aaron 

Keown, which was tabled at the 


Community Board meeting yesterday 

regarding safety concerns 

involving car speed on Cotswold 

Ave. 

He said some drivers don’t stop 

for the crossing patrol. 

“The number of cars that fly 

through the crossing, I’m scared 

that one of these days someone 

is going to get killed and I would 

hate to have not acted about this,” 

he said. 

Mr Hall said he is not asking for 

flashing signs. But said the current 

signage is “out of date” and 

needs to be upgraded, in line with 

schools in the area. 

“There was recently an upgrade 

of lights above the crossing, which 

has made a bit of a difference.” 

Mr Hall said drivers who go 

through the crossing often don’t 

notice the signs prior to it. 

“The current signage is in the 

old yellow, where most of the 

city is now a bright highlighter 

colour,” he said.

Tight schedule for Old Boys’ athlete 


AFTER competing in the 

Canterbury track and field 

championships at the weekend, 

Old Boys’ United Athletic Club’s 

Tegan Duffy will have little time 

to recover. 

The 17-year-old is about to head 

off to the New Zealand track and 

field and then the Australian 

junior championships – with 

all three events in the space of a 

month. 

She has also just started 

studying land and property 

management at Lincoln 

University, works part-time at the 

Commodore Hotel, and trains six 

times a week at the Christchurch 

Boys’ High-based athletics club. 

She won the under-20 long 

jump at the Athletics Canterbury 

track and field championships 

with a distance of 5.64m in her 

fifth jump. However, Duffy didn’t 

compete in her other specialised 

event, the 100m hurdles. 

She is set to compete in both 

events at the New Zealand track 

and field championships from 

March 9-11 in Hamilton before 

flying to Sydney on March 12 for 

the Australian junior athletics 

championships from March 14- 

18. 

“So basically I have to get back, 

repack and head off again,” she 

said. 

Tegan said she started 

athletics as a hobby but now has 

aspirations for bigger things. 

“I am looking ahead to the 

junior worlds and what I need to 

do to qualify for that,” she said. 

She has to pay her own way to 

attend the championships, and 

said it would cost about $2000 to 

attend the Hamilton and Sydney 

events. 

“I have gone to the local 

community board to ask for 

funding and my nana Faye Kerr 

has helped me fundraise with 

my mum, Toni, and we have held 

some quiz nights. Also, nana has 

a few friends that have chipped 

in,” she said. 

For the past month, Tegan has 

been training harder than 

usual and has been pushing 

herself to see what her body can 

endure. 

“There has been a lot of harder 

running and pushing myself as 

hard as possible. The weights are 

heavier, all of that,” she said. 

ATHLETE: Tegan Duffy, seen 

here competing at last year’s 

New Zealand track and field 

championships, will be back 

at the same event next month 

looking for success in the long 

jump and 100m hurdles.

Bates breaks more pool 

records in school competition 


CHRISTCHURCH Girls’ High’s 

Hannah Bates has broken more 

records in the pool. 

The 17-year-old broke the 

senior 50m backstroke and 

breaststroke and the open girls 

200m individual medley records 

at the school’s swim competition 

held on February 12. 

Two of the records she broke 

were her own after claiming them 

from former Atlanta Olympian 

and Kuala Lumpur Commonwealth 

Games swimmer Lydia 

Lipscombe who set records in the 

200m medley with a time of 2min 

27.90sec and 50m backstroke with 

a time of 31.60sec in 1997. 

Hannah swam the 50m backstroke 

in 31.26sec beating her old 

time of 31.42sec, a record she set 

last year. It is the fastest time she 

has ever posted in that event, she 

said. 

In the 200m individual medley, 

she beat her old 2016 time of 

2min 26.09sec by 2sec with the 

new record standing at 2min 

24.36sec. 

She also beat Abbie Johnston’s 

2013 senior 50m breaststroke 

record of 34.32sec, the new record 

is 34.19sec. 

“I was ecstatic to break the 

records as it was my last chance to 

achieve these, due to the fact that 

I am in my last year at Christchurch 

Girls’ High School,” she said. 

“I wanted to leave with my 

name alongside as many school 

swimming records as I could and 

I would love to hold onto as many 

as I can for as long as I can.” 

In January, Hannah broke 

three-time Olympian and Commonwealth 

Games bronze medallist 

Helen Lesslie’s (nee Norfolk) 

long-standing Canterbury record 

in the pool in the 200m individual 

medley at the Swimming 

Canterbury West Coast championships. 

The Aquagym swimmer’s time 

also broke the 17-year age group 

record which was also previously 

held by Lesslie. 

Hannah swam the evening session 

in a scorching 2min 17.29sec 

shaving .06sec off Lesslie’s open 

record of 2min 17.35sec which has 

stood since 2000. 

At the Canterbury West Coast 

championships, Hannah also 

competed in breaststroke, freestyle, 

backstroke and butterfly 

events and won seven gold and 

one silver medal in total. 

For the seventh year in a row, 

the championships were held in

SMASHER:

Dunedin because Christchurch 

doesn’t have a 50m pool. 

She said she will be looking 

ahead to the New Zealand age 

group championships in Auckland 

in April. 

“My next national swim meet is 

the age groups, but my real focus 

will be New Zealand open championships 

during the first week in 

July which will be the qualifying 

meet for all 2018 New Zealand 

swim teams,” she said. 

“My short-term goal is to make 

the New Zealand swim team to 

compete at the Junior Pan Pacific 

Games in Fiji in August. I have 

achieved three qualifying times 

but I need to swim these times or 

better during this meet.”

Medal haul and champion 

school title for Rangi juniors 


RANGI RURU Girls’ School 

has taken away 16 medals at 

the Canterbury junior rowing 

regatta in successful outing over 

the weekend. 

At the Lake Hood regatta 

over Saturday and Sunday, the 

penultimate event before the 

Maadi Cup in late March, the 

Rangi Ruru crews were hugely 

successful, winning 10 gold, 

two silver and four bronze 

medals. 

The medal haul saw them 

awarded the Sweep Oar champion 

school, for collecting the 

most points. 

The majority of Canterbury 

rowing schools attended the 

regatta, as well as Otago Boys’ 

and Otago Girls’ High Schools, 

St Kevin’s College and Waitaki 

Boys’ High School. 

Forty-seven of the 52 finals 

were able to take place in 

Ashburton before weather 

deteriorated late on Sunday. 

The next major regatta for 

schools is the South Island 

secondary school championships 

at Lake Ruataniwha on March 3. 

ONE-TWO: Rangi Ruru crews topped the podium in the girls 

U18 coxed four.

SALMON WITH 

MUSHROOMS, BACON AND 

OYSTER SAUCE 

Ingredients 

ROASTED SPICED PUMPKIN 

WITH CANDIED CARROTS 

AND YOGHURT DRESSING 

Ingredients 

500g boneless salmon fillets, up 

to 600g 

4 slices smokey bacon 

250g meadow mushrooms 

2 cloves crushed garlic 

2 Tbsp oyster sauce 

2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped 

1 nutmeg, freshly grated 

1 to serve spinach, or a fresh 

spinach salad 

Directions 

Heat the grill to high. 

Lay the salmon on a shallow 

baking tray, season with 

freshly ground black pepper 

and top with two of the bacon 

slices. 

Place under the grill and grill 

for about 8min. 

The salmon should be slightly 

under cooked in the middle 

– remember it does keep on 

cooking a little after being 

removed from the heat source. 

Meanwhile, dice the remaining 

bacon slices and place in a frying 

pan over a high heat and pan-fry 

until crisp. 

Add the mushrooms and panfry 

until golden. 

Reduce the heat to medium, 

add the garlic and pan-fry for a 

further 30sec. 

In a small bowl, combine the 

oyster sauce with ¼ cup of hot 

water. 

Pour into the frying pan and 

blend well, stir through the 

parsley. 

Remove the salmon from the 

grill, remove the bacon and place 

on a warmed serving platter. 

Pour over the mushroom sauce 

and grate over a little nutmeg. 

Serve with wilted spinach or a 

fresh spinach salad.

1 tsp coriander

BE INSPIRED 


Interpreters wanted: 

a profession in great demand 

Do you speak two or more languages fluently? Perhaps you are 

already volunteering or working with your community. Would you 

like to be trained and join a vibrant team of interpreters in the 

Canterbury region? Then look no further! 

At Interpreting New Zealand we train, 

employ and provide professional community 

interpreters in over 70 languages, 24/7, in a 

variety of settings: medical, immigration, 

legal, etc. An interpreter (oral translator) 

removes the language barrier between two 

people that do not share the same language. 

When Farah Khosravi 

arrived in NZ four years 

ago, she was a fluent English 

speaker as she was an 

English teacher, university 

lecturer as well as translator 

in her home country, Iran. 

Farah says: “In New 

Zealand, I sometimes did 

some interpreting for my 

friends, later I started a 

volunteering job with 

women’s refuge where I got 

to do some more serious but 

still untrained interpreting. 

I have always loved and enjoyed 

interpreting and helping other people 

communicate better but it wasn’t until I 

started my training and later my actual 

interpreting practice with Interpreting 

New Zealand that I realised how difficult 

and risky interpreting job can be. I had 

no idea how absolutely 

crucial the principals of 

accuracy, impartiality and 

confidentiality are to the 

job of an interpreter and 

that disregarding these 

principals can even result 

in irreversible damage. 

I learned all that as well 

as lots more through 

Interpreting New Zealand’s 

ongoing training and 

professional development. 

I believe that interpreting is 

a very interesting, exciting, 

as well as, satisfying job in spite of all its 

difficulties.” 

Is this a job you’d enjoy? If you are 

proficient in English and another language, 

why not train with us to become an 

interpreter? Our next Introductory 

Interpreting Course will begin in May 

2018. Apply via www.interpret.org.nz by 

9 April, for more information email us at

Situated amongst some of Prebbleton’s 

finest properties, 9 Elmwood Drive, has 

come to the market for the very first 

time. This sprawling home is as unique 

as it is special with 4 double bedrooms, 2 

bathrooms, media room, office, formal 

dining, formal living and massive garaging 

on a 1204m2 section. Whilst decorative and 

opulent in its design, the owners wanted 

to create an authentic home where their 

family could simply relax, enjoy and soak 

in the peace and tranquillity of the land 

and location. If you have ever considered 

a property with large garaging you’ll know 

that very rarely does such an opportunity 

like this present itself. Whether you 

are a motor enthusiast, a tradesman, 

hobbyist, work from home, or just have 

the requirement for expansive garaging, 

this address is a must to inspect! Once this 

property has been sold, there are no others 

to replace it. With instructions to sell on or 

before auction day, what are you prepared 

to pay? 

Auction date: Wednesday 21st March,
