WOOLSTON BOXING Club
trainer Holly Sullivan is on
the shortlist to mentor New
Zealand’s best amateur fighters
at the Olympics in Tokyo next
year.
The 32-year-old started
boxing to stay fit when she
was a Canterbury tennis
representative and national
football trialist 14 years ago and
fell in love with the sport.
Sullivan is the only woman
in New Zealand who is an
internationally qualified trainer,
which means if Woolstonbased
Olympic boxing
prospects Tegan Clark or
Trevor Swainson make the
New Zealand team, she will be
Tokyo-bound with them.
“Both of them are on the
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
Olympic prospects list and
so if any of my boxers get in,
because I’m a woman with
the qualifications, they want
a balance of male and female
managers and chaperones
there.”

Successful slant on popcorn
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
FOUR LINWOOD College
students have made their mark
in the popcorn business after
being recognised in a regional
enterprise competition.
PopCoin was named the winner
of the Canterbury Young
Enterprise Product launch recently,
which was sponsored by
Ara Institute of Canterbury.
The business, which creates
freshly flavoured popcorn was
founded by year 13 students –
Riccarton’s Eileen Prasad and
Arnie Ferreras, New Brighton’s
Tara Blackmore and Redcliff’s
Meghan Kerr.
The idea was formed
after the students took part
in the national Young Enterprise
scheme – a programme
aimed to inspire young people
to become involved in business.
As part of the scheme, their
challenge was to create a business
idea. The students were
debating between a salad bowl
or popcorn.
After undertaking research,
the students found there was a
demand for popcorn.
The students receive full profit
from the business and have
made $100 in the four months it
has been running stalls for.
They run stalls at ARA, New
Brighton Seaside Market, The
Riccarton Sunday Market and
will be selling at Turanga on
September 15.
The flavours the students
have created include savoury
herb and cheese, salted caramel,
chocolate popcorn and caramel
banana.
“We as a group have got a lot
of interest in making food so
we used our own knowledge
and came up with the flavours,”
Eileen said.
Eileen, the mastermind behind
the flavours, was last year’s
winner of the National Secondary
School Culinary Challenge.
She is hoping to go into the
hospitality industry either as a
chef or management position
or study business at Canterbury
University.
Each student plays an
important role in the
business with Arnie as the
finance manager, Tara as the

manager and Meghan as the
production manager.
Social studies teacher Richard
Jolly said the product has been
so well-crafted they have sold
out every time they have gone
to market. The quirky name for
the business emerged after the
students were joking around
about the term “popcoin” which
featured in a children’s cartoon
called The Big Lez Show.
In Brief
FLOODING PROBLEM
Concerns have been raised
about flooding at the Fred Price
Courts car park on Palmers Rd
in New Brighton. The Coastal-
Burwood Community Board
has asked city council staff to
investigate how the water level
can be reduced in the housing
complex car park.
BIN MAY BE KEPT
The North Beach Residents’
Association has met with
Coastal-Burwood Community
Board members and city council
staff to discuss keeping a
rubbish bin at the North Beach
car park. The association has
previously raised concerns about
the board’s request for all the
rubbish bins there to be replaced
by seagull-proof Big Belly Bins.
NAME CHANGE
The Northshore Residents’
Association has changed its
name to the Waimairi Beach
Residents’ Association. The
Coastal-Burwood Community
Board was advised of this at a
meeting last week.
FLYING FOX
City council staff have been
asked to investigate replacing
or repairing the flying fox
at Thomson Park, New
Brighton, so it can be made the
appropriate height and width.

www.sis.school.nz
Shirley-Intermediate-School
Kia Ora, Talofa, Greetings. As a child I went to the
local primary school, about 600m from home. I
can still drive through that neighbourhood and
name who lived in each house on the school route.
Mrs Miller, at the corner dairy was an institution;
Everyone knew her, and vice versa - or so it seemed.
For many of us adults, the benefits of living locally,
knowing and using local services, seem a thing
of the past. In these internet-soaked, heavily
consumerised, car-dominated times our children
need relevance, community connections and a
sense of belonging more than ever.
As we seek to enable children to lead full and
satisfying lives, we fuse academic learning, with
real life application and plenty of opportunity
for constructive interaction with peers and our
community. Our curriculum is based on relevant
learning for life through study topics such as
Journeys,
Financial
Literacy,
Sustainability,
and Chemistry
in Everyday Life.
Relevance makes
learning so much
easier.
We are looking forward to major building
renovations at school. We are also very pleased that
Banks Avenue School is being rebuilt on the old
Shirley Boys High School site immediately adjacent
to our school. Community connections.
Feel free to make contact for a chat and look around
the school.
Taitu’uga Geoff Siave - Principal
Flax Weaving
Once a week for the past six weeks women from the
Kahu Collective (Kathy, Lisa and Corabelle) have been
visiting Shirley Intermediate School to help children
in the bilingual class - Te Tahu Rua Reo - use the flax
which grows on the school grounds to learn about
working with harakeke (flax). The children have
been involved in the lengthy process of preparing,
cleaning, harvesting, stripping, sizing,softening, boiling
and dyeing the harakeke (flax). The project aims to
complete two woven circular whāriki or mats to be
on display in the school hall. The class also engaged
in making bracelets
and headbands from
harakeke. As part of a
community partnership
the Kahu Collective
is currently based at
Shirley Intermediate.
This will provide further
opportunities for pupils.
Shirley District Music School
SDMS has been operating from Shirley Intermediate
for over thirty years, offering music tuition for primary
school children in the wider Shirley area. Itinerant
music teachers tutor the children after school - often at
their own school, or at Shirley Intermediate - the home
of SDMS. Many children have progressed to being
accomplished musicians. Last week twenty musicians
from the SDMS took part in the first competition held
in many years. The children came from Shirley Primary
School, Shirley Intermediate School, Banks Avenue
School, Mairehau Primary School, Marshlands School,
Waitākiri School, and St Francis of Assisi School - all
part of the Shirley District Music School.
Ōtākaro ARTS festival - Performing
Arts, Visual crafts, Craft
The Ōtākaro Kahui Ako - has organised an amazing
week of arts activities for children across the seven
member school and multiple early childhood centres.
The activities run from Monday 16 September until
Friday 20 September and include basketmaking,
beeswax wraps, pottery, drawing, Intaglio printmaking
and a circus workshop are some of the twenty five artrelated
activities available for the children to choose
from during the festival week. Shirley Intermediate is
the venue for two events as is taking part in art, dance
and performance activities.
School trip to Dunedin
A regular part of the Shirley Intermediate calendar has
been the biennial trip to Dunedin during term four. The
children enjoy a first taste of university life by staying
at one of the university hostels - in their own rooms,
fully catered. The host of learning activities during the
trip south and while in Dunedin include visiting the
albatross colony, Steam punk in Oamaru, Moeraki,
Olveston House, hostel life. The camaraderie of shared
experiences away from home is hard to beat.
Swimming Pools
The number of schools with swimming pools is
continuously reducing. This makes the fact that SIS
has two pools (a 15m and a 25m pool) all the more
remarkable. High drowning statistics and the expense,
inconvenience, and inadequacy of the alternative
options for schools emphasise the values of our pools.
At SIS children are able to practice swimming on most
summer weekdays. Surrounding contributing schools
are invited to use
the 15m pool at their
convenience, and
many local families
have opportunity
to hire keys for the
summer after Labour
Weekend. The school
was also the base for
the St Albans Swim
Club for several
years after the
earthquakes.
Community Opportunity - from the
Principal
From time to time we make “suggestions” (some call
them “appeals”!) about how people can help out at
school. People actually enjoy helping out and it’s
mutually beneficial because of the social and local
interactions and the satisfaction of having played your
part in making a positive difference. Here are the details:
Colour the Playground -
• Saturday 19 October (the first Saturday of Term Four)
• 8.30am to midday-ish
• Bring a fence brush or suitable roller or paint tray if
you have them
• A bbq lunch will be provided - all welcome
• The back-up day is Saturday 26 October.
This will be a great time to muck in and get to know
your neighbours while making a positive difference to
your local intermediate school.
Building Progression at SIS
For two years we have been declaring “rebuild
coming”; good things take time!
Those driving past our North Parade boundary will see
that two prefabricated buildings have appeared there
recently. Yes, these are the first physical sign of our
new build.
The design of the new school includes:
• New classrooms facing Shirley Road - including a
whare, “maker spaces”, food room, design area and,
of course, teaching spaces
• New administration and reception area accessed
from Shirley Road
• Creation of two-way
vehicle access from
Shirley Road
• Removal of two rear
classrooms and
modernisation of all
remaining classrooms
• Retention of school hall
and adjoining rooms

Park’s apology hard to accept
•From page 1
Mr Park has apologised for the
no show and proposed he meet
with the community on September
25.
Mr Park told Pegasus Post
he withdrew due to a “critical,
personal” meeting.
Mr Park
would not say
what the meeting
was for.
Mrs Chapman
said Mr
Park’s apology
was hard to
accept given
Darryll Park
this.
“He didn’t
say what it [the meeting] was
about, what the urgency was, so
it would have been nice to know
that, he hasn’t given us
the subject matter of that
meeting.”
She said it would be up to
the services trust’s members to
decide if they wanted Mr Park to
meet with them.
Mr Park attended the Canterbury
Employers’ Chamber of
Commerce debate on Wednesday
night.
At the debate he questioned
why the city council was spending
millions on cycleways when
roads in the east needed fixing,
labelling it as “not bloody good
enough.”
However, his last-minute
withdrawal from the services
trust’s debate earlier in the day
was described by organiser Betty
Chapman as a “slap in the face”
for people in the east wanting
roading and other improvements
after the earthquakes.
Former mayor Garry Moore,
who chaired the debate, also
criticised the no show.
In a Facebook post, Mr Park
also criticised a Dalziel-led council
for neglecting the east and
failing to look after the basics.
Said Mrs Chapman: “It’s a bit
of a slap in the face because a lot
of people were here today to see
Darryll. Out in the east we know
Lianne, she had been our MP
for years, the people came to see
Darryll to hear what he had to
say.”
Mr Moore questioned Mr
Park’s commitment.
“To me, that showed no commitment
to being mayor because
if you are running for mayor you
have to go to every meeting,” he
said.
Mr Park’s absence put a real
dampener on the debate, he said.

“Is he only prepared to talk to
the business community and not
the people of town?”
Mr Park said the criticism he
received for missing the debate
was “unfair.”
“I don’t think it’s fair at all.
One instance where I couldn’t
make a meeting and yet, I’ve
committed to being out there in
the east and have been out there
on several occasions.
“I can’t undo something that
happened and was unavoidable
and I had to be at the other
meeting.”
News website
for Canty
STAR MEDIA, publisher of
Pegasus Post, launched a new
website last week.
Starnews.co.nz will
cover the latest breaking news
from across the Canterbury
region and of course
Christchurch.
And to celebrate the launch we
will be giving away $100 vouchers
each week for the next month.
This week it is fuel, followed by
groceries, Kmart and finally
fuel again. To enter go to the
website.
Said Star Media regional
manager Steve McCaughan:
“Starnews will be an essential
source for Cantabrians to get
news from. Our focus of course
is on Canterbury news, but we
will also have news from across
New Zealand, international news,
sport, politics, motoring reviews,
lifestyle and more.
“Our point of difference is
that we will be using our news
teams from Kaikoura, Amberley,
Rangiora, Christchurch and
Ashburton to provide topical
local news relevant to your
community.
“This is something that’s
missing from the national sites
that Cantabrians have told us they
want.”

Renew Brighton
gets $20k grant
from council
THE RENEW Brighton project
has received a $20,000 boost to
promote resilience in the area.
The grant came from the city
council-administered community
resilience partnership fund,
which was launched in 2017 by
Mayor Lianne Dalziel.
Renew Brighton’s aim is to
connect community groups in the
area and enable participation on
issues that matter to residents.
Other groups to benefit from the
grants include:
•The Barrier-Free New Zealand
Trust, which has received $20,000
to help implement the accessibility
charter.
•The Mt Pleasant Memorial
Community Centre and Residents
Association, which has been
granted $48,880 so it can employ
someone to help run new community
activities.
•The Papanui Youth
Development Trust, which will
receive $7000 each year for the
next two years so it can set up
a youth group for people with
behavioural challenges.
•The Parenting Place Charitable
Trust, which has received $18,330
for its ‘building awesome whānau’
parenting courses.
•And The Exchange
Christchurch Trust, which has
received $27,682.
Training world-class boxers
•From page 1
“I’m currently a star one
international licence coach and
there’s a chance I’ll have to sit
my star two beforehand.”
The prospect of two of her
boxers competing at the New
Zealand trials in March will
mean a different structure over
the summer months.
“I’ve told Tegan and Trev that
they’ll box up until the end of
November and then have the
whole of December off.
“They need a rest month and
with the trials in February/
March they’ll need a six-week,
well-conditioned programme by
that time.
Sullivan said she started
training at the Woolston Boxing
Club gym once a week about
the time she purchased her
first house at the age of 18 on
Mackworth St.
“I started going once a week
under Steve Henry . . . and I
asked if I could fight and he
said that I could start turning
up more if I wanted that and I
thought it was fair enough.”
It wasn’t until she hurt her
shoulder in a bout – which led to
three surgeries and a nine-year
absence from that ring – that
Sullivan considered coaching.
Over the past decade, she and
a group of dedicated volunteers

qualified trainer.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
have built the club’s numbers
up to more than 60, including
23 who are allowed to box
competitively. In spite of her
success, Sullivan said she is too
busy looking forward to look
back. “There’s so much going
on right now and so much I’m
looking forward to that I’m
more excited about the future.

Aranui performer teaching Pasifika heritage
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
WHEN ARANUI’S Talia-Rae
Mavaega travels to primary
schools nationally as a performer
she often finds it “disappointing”
to learn how little children know
about Pasifika’s rich culture.
Having toured nationally with
Duffy Books in Homes, she has
found some schoolchildren have
never heard of Samoa or Tonga or
where New Zealand is located in
the Pacific.
In a bid to educate children on
Pasifika heritage, Mavaega is one
of three performers from theatre
company Y NOT travelling to
schools across Canterbury to
share some of Samoa, Tonga and
New Zealand’s most well-known
legends.
Directed by Gregory Cooper,
the theatre company has collaborated
with The Court Theatre
to present O Le Malaga Fa’a’Atua
(The Journey of the Gods).
A capella chorus bound for Sweet Adelines in New Orleans
• By Claire Booker
SINGERS IN the Christchurch
City Chorus are packing their
bags and warming up their
voices for the Sweet Adelines
World Championship in New
Orleans.
The group was founded in
1985 and the women sing in a
four-part harmony a capella
style and have been national
champions 11 times – but this
time they are back representing
the country on an international
stage.
The last time the group
performed internationally was
2016 in Las Vegas where they
placed fifth and received the
“most entertaining” award.
The chorus is made up
of 130 women from across
Christchurch, with members also
hailing from Nelson, Dunedin,
Invercargill, Palmerston North,
Auckland and Australia.
Ellie Sutton, of Cashmere, is
one of the chorus members and
said she is fizzing in anticipation
The multilingual production
will be touring across Canterbury
primary schools until Friday and
will feature Jake Arona and Mana
Tatafu, alongside Mavaega.
When asked if education on
the Pacific could
be better, she said:
“I think there is
always room for
improvement, I
just think Pasifika
culture isn’t
implemented as
much.”
But Mavaega said:
“The cool thing is
most of the kids
once they are given
the opportunity to learn a new
word or whatever they just jump
on it which is awesome.”
Based on a fusion of myths, the
O Le Malaga Fa’a’Atua (The Journey
of the Gods) follows the story
of demigod Maui’s quest to prove
himself worthy of becoming a

fully-fledged God.
Mavaega, who is of Samoan
heritage, will play the role of Sina
based on the famous Polynesian
myth Sina and the Eel, which
explains the origins of the first
coconut tree.
But she said the
message she is hoping
children will walk away
with is to make the
right choices, be kind to
others and be the best
they can be.
The message stems
from when Maui (who
is based on a demigod
from Maori mythology)
is faced with the decision
to either gain for himself or
help people forever.
Mavaega said while the majority
of schools it is travelling to
may not have the population of
Pacific students, it is “awesome” it
can share with children who have
not experienced the culture.

SAI world what we can do,” she
said.
Papanui’s Nicky McCaughan
is the group’s visual director,
and she is in charge of the
choreography and showmanship
of the chorus.
SPELL-BINDING: Talia-Rae Mavaega is in the new show O Le
Malaga Fa’a’Atua (The Journey of the Gods), which is touring
around Canterbury primary schools.
The chorus will fly to New
Orleans this week, and the
competition will run from
September 16 to 21.
Redwood resident Sharyn
Glassey is excited and feels
“blessed” to be a part of the
chorus.

“Never in my wildest dreams
did I ever think I would be
representing our beautiful
country in an international
competition,” she said.
Musical director Virginia
Humphrey-Taylor said the
chorus is excited for the thrill of
representing New Zealand on
the international stage.
“It has taken three solid years
of learning and performing
songs to reach this pinnacle time.
The chorus’ aim is to better our
fifth placing in Las Vegas the
last time we represented New
Zealand in 2016,” she said.
“It is exciting, extremely
focused, intensely pleasurable
work, right up until the moment
on stage when they announce:
‘We are ready for our next
contestant, from Christchurch,
New Zealand, under the
direction of Virginia Humphrey-
Taylor, the Christchurch City
Chorus,’ I live for this moment
in my life,” Ms Humphrey-Taylor
said.

Charity shops seen as a rubbish dump
• By Laura Hitchon
PEOPLE ARE discarding
damaged goods and other
rubbish outside charity shops to
avoid paying refuse station fees.
Charity shop staff are turning
up to work on Monday mornings
to discover large piles of damaged
goods lying on their front
door step and, although some
items are saleable, many are not.
St John Opportunity Shop
volunteer Brian North said many
people dropped off the goods at
their Addington store at night
or during the weekend when the
shop was closed.
“We would prefer that people
drop off their goods during the
daytime when we are able to
inspect them.
“People think that just because
they donate something, we will
accept it but we need to be able
to sell these items and if they’re
damaged, we can’t,” he said.
Salvation Army Family Store
Hornby shop manager Terry
Murray said some people genuinely
believed the goods they
were donating were in an acceptable
condition but many people
knew the goods were rubbish
and donated them anyway.
Damaged goods being donated
included lounge suites, drawers,
mattresses, tables, chairs,
ANNOYED: Salvation Army Family Store Hornby shop manager Terry Murray
(right) and volunteer Neville Walton stand next to the overflowing rubbish skip
filled with donated goods they cannot sell.
sporting equipment, crockery,
glassware, artwork, books, clothing
and shoes.
The money generated from
selling donated goods goes back
into the charity to help people
in need, however, this was being
jeopardised by the cost of having
to dump other people’s rubbish.
Mr Murray said they emptied
their skip about three times a
week which cost them about
$140 each time.
“One of the biggest expenses
we have is taking damaged
goods to the dump.”
Mr Murray said the cost of
taking rubbish to the refuse
station was a possible cause of
people dumping their unwanted
goods at charity shops.
“Many people don’t own a
trailer and can’t afford to hire
one let alone afford to take their
rubbish to the dump, so they just
leave it on the charity’s doorstep,”
he said.
To dump one tonne of general
waste, the EcoCentral website
lists it at $253.40.
WASTE: Salvation Army staff members Leane

stained and faded clothing.
PHOTOS: LAURA HITCHON
Mr Murray said it would be
beneficial if the city council
collected large waste from the
charity once a month and subsidised
the dumping fees to ease
pressure.
A city council spokesperson
said they expected residents to
dispose of their unwanted items
responsibly and that people
should only make donations to
charity stores that are open, able
and willing to take their items.
The spokesperson said dumping
damaged goods at charity
bins or store fronts could be seen
as illegal dumping and could
incur a fine for the person disposing
of the litter.
“The kerbside collection
service is a standard service
funded by ratepayers and we
are unable to provide additional
services above the entitlement of
a property.”
The spokesperson said
unwanted goods could be
disposed of at one of three
EcoDrop recycling centres across
the city at a cost.

Feral pigs hogging Bottle Lake
• By Sophie Cornish
THIS IS what you may come
across on a weekend stroll in
Bottle Lake Forest.
This photo of a feral pig
was posted to the People’s
Independent Republic of
New Brighton Facebook page
along with a discussion about
sightings of the animal in the
10km recreation reserve, which
stretches from Burwood to the
coast.
But before you squeal – city
council head of parks Andrew
Rutledge is reassuring the threat
to people is low.
However, they should be
avoided if spotted, he said.
No reports have been received
by city council of the animals
attacking, but they are a
nuisance.
“Feral pigs are a threat to sites
with high biodiversity values,
as they can damage indigenous
plants and animals. In this case
they are mostly a nuisance to the
landowners in the area, where
they roam between properties,”
he said.
The pigs have been present in
the Lower Styx area, including
Bottle Lake Forest for some time,
Mr Rutledge said.
“They are very mobile animals
and can cover large distances,
moving across private and
publicly-owned land.”
Kainga resident Zac Cooper
frequently runs around the forest
with his dog and said he has
spotted the nuisance animals on
multiple occasions.
“It was a few months back now
. . . one was down by the Waimak
River, in the forest alongside
the river’s edge. Another was
just up by Spencerville . . . my
friend’s neighbour has trapped
and killed a few, so he put one up
on the barbeque one afternoon
. . . apparently, the sightings are
getting much more frequent,” he
said.
Mr Rutledge said the pigs have
been factored into the parks’ pest
control programme.
SPOTTED:
A feral pig
in Bottle
Lake
Forest,
which city
council
staff say
are a low
threat to
people,
but
should be
avoided.
“Monitoring is in place for
when these animals roam on
to council reserves . . . it’s very
hard to determine population
numbers as the animals cover a
large area.”
The feral pigs, which are
omnivorous, are believed to be
widespread throughout the Canterbury
region in suitable habitat
types. In May, wild sows, a type
of feral pig, were caught on camera
in a native bush reserve, near
Gibraltar Rock in the Port Hills.
The Summit Road Society
said the pigs were becoming
a problem with their
rooting habits damaging the
undergrowth of the native forest.
Old Skellerup factory
demolition under way
• By Jess Gibson
A LARGE portion of the
remaining abandoned Skellerup
factory is being demolished at its
former Woolston site.
The BL Family Trust own
the 59,801 sq m section of land
on Garlands Rd and is in the
process of clearing more than
70 per cent of the earthquakedamaged,
asbestos-filled
buildings.
Skellerup moved out in 2016
to a new $60 million premises
in Wigram. It sold the Woolston
site ‘as is where is’.
BL Family Trust representative
Vipan Garg said the demolition
is taking place in order to clean
up the “eyesore” which is derelict
and attracting vandals.
“It was a problem within the
community. People were getting
into the buildings, as they were
left unattended.”
National Steel, the main site
occupant, processes and sorts
metal on the empty land and
will continue to use one building
as a “hub” which has been
deemed safe by an engineer.
Fair Auto Dismantlers, Lowe
Industries and NZ Besthome
Furniture also occupy the shedlike
buildings on the site, which
have been assessed as safe.
CLEAN-UP: More than 70 per
cent of the derelict buildings
at the former Skellerup
factory site in Woolston
are being knocked down.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
The BL Family Trust has
applied for a proposed boundary
adjustment to three main lots
on the site and wants it to be
processed by the city council.
However, demolition project
manager Jarrad Smith said there
are no plans to sell or develop
the area at this stage.
He said the purpose of the
boundary adjustment is to
square off the land into three
clear parcels. “Potentially at
some point, something will
happen with the site. What that
is and when that is hasn’t been
determined,”Mr Smith said.
The demolition may take up to
a year and the materials will be
dumped at Kate Valley landfill.

organisation and preparation
are key, starting with
working out a menu well
ahead of the event. Try
including this tasty Asianinfluenced
starter to your
list
Tamarind chilli crispy-skin
salmon with green mango
herb salad
Serves 4
Ingredients
600g salmon fillets, cut into 4cm
cubes, patted dry with paper
towels
Sea salt
Fresh cracked black pepper
Crispy shallots
Oil
Tamarind chilli dressing
5-10g large dried red chillies
2 cloves garlic, peeled, minced in
a mortar and pestle with a pinch
of salt
5g belacan (shrimp paste)
65g gula melaka, shaved
25g tamarind pulp, soaked in
150ml
hot water, rendered and sieved
1½ Tbsp lemon juice
2 large kaffir lime leaves, finely
julienned
Green mango herb salad
½ telegraph cucumber or one
lebanese cucumber, unpeeled,
shaved into ribbons
1 green mango, peeled, shaved
into ribbons
1 small bunch coriander leaves
1 small bunch Thai basil leaves
2 wing beans, finely sliced
Squeeze of lemon juice
Pinch of sugar
Olive oil
Directions
Season the fish with salt and
pepper and a drizzle of oil.
Place the soaked dried chillies
and garlic in a food processor
and blend until a fine paste.
Heat two tablespoons of oil in
a small saucepan over medium
heat, add the shrimp paste and
mash with a wooden spatula.
Cook for 1min until the shrimp
paste becomes fragrant and
starts to toast.
Add the chilli garlic paste
and continue to cook, stirring
frequently, until fragrant.
Add the gula melaka and cook
until dark, glossy and sticky.
Slowly pour in the tamarind
puree. Cook until slightly
thickened, then stir in the lemon
juice and sprinkle on the kaffir
lime leaves. Remove from heat
and set aside.
Heat a non-stick fry pan over
high heat. Place the fish pieces
skin side down evenly around
the pan and cook until crisp and
golden.
To ensure that the skin is
evenly crispy, you may need to
gently press with a spatula to
keep the skin flat on the pan.
Turn over, and cook the other
side until three-quarter cooked.
Pour over the tamarind chilli
sauce and toss very gently to just
coat. Be careful not to break up
the fish pieces.
Combine the salad ingredients,
and dress with lemon juice,
sugar and olive oil just before
serving.
Transfer the fish to a serving
plate along with all the sauce
and top with the green mango,
cucumber and herb salad.
Sprinkle with crispy shallots and
serve immediately.
Note: Adjust the quantity
of the large, red dried chillies
according to your taste. Also,
leave the seeds in if you like
the dish extra spicy, otherwise,
deseed them.
In any case, soak the chillies in
hot water until softened before
using them.

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS
Your
car light
95
gasson st
specialists
Long-established car light specialists,
Braxton Car Lights, are now shining their
lights from a new address – just around the
corner from their familiar Brougham Street
site.
The business moved from 325 Brougham
Street to 95 Gasson Street, where they offer
a brighter showroom, easier access for their
customers and plenty of off-street parking.
“We’re all set up in our new premises,”
sales manager Richard Vernimmen says,
“and continuing to provide our customers
with an extensive range of replacement
lights for most Japanese, European and
New Zealand-made vehicles. We can cover
most vehicles on the road, and all our lights
are fully checked and in perfect working
order.”
If they don’t have it in stock, they can
source it from one of the other branches in
the nationwide BE Group, Richard says. BE
is one of New Zealand’s largest importers of
car, truck and commercial parts.
Braxton Car Lights also offers a repair
service for headlights, with their skilled
staff of three having 80 years’ experience in
the automotive trade between them. They
also specialise in light adjuster and light
conversion of American car lights and their
repair service includes plastic
welding, drying out, and
re-silvering, re-sealing
and lens refurbishment.
Their services can also
be arranged through
your own local garage or
workshop.
So, next time you
need replacement car
lights, call into Braxton Car
Lights’ bright new showroom,
95 Gasson Street, phone 0800 225 483,
email carlights@carlights.co.nz.

REAL ESTATE
Private, peaceful
Purau rural retreat
52 Purau Port Levy Road, Purau Valley, Lyttelton Harbour
Price: $850,000 plus GST if any
2 bedrooms | 1 bathroom | 2 living rooms | 13ha | Listing Number: 9736
Seldom do properties such as this come
to the market but retiring vendors of 30
years have decided the time has come.
This is a wonderful location, peaceful
and private with wonderful bird song. Set
on 13.1369 hectares or 32.5 acres approx.
this charming 100m 2 home is both easycare
and warm. Commanding beautiful
views of the Purau Valley, Purau Bay and
Mt Evans, if you are looking for peace and
privacy then this one could be for you.
Set well off the road the house has
two double bedrooms, two living areas,
lovely decking and one bathroom. North
East facing and sheltered with a garage/
workshop adjacent to the house. The
garden is easy care and the land is a
mixture of pasture in five paddocks for
grazing, some bush and about 250 approx.
30 year old pine trees ready for harvesting.
The property is well fenced and has an
excellent water supply, a small stream and
a natural pond. Further down the driveway
there is a set of yards, a four bay implement
shed, a tractor shed with high stud and a
large high stud workshop with three phase
power. There is also a semi derelict house
from about the 1930s on the property.
This is an idyllic location and perfect for
a retiring farmer, someone wanting to get
into the firewood business or someone with
a portable mill to make use of all the trees.
Purau Bay is approximately 30 minutes’
drive from Christchurch, making it a
highly desirable destination as it is so
useable being close to Christchurch.
Properties in this lovely valley and by such
a safe swimming beach are defying all the
odds and selling fast generally as they come
up very seldom.
Excellent swimming, boating, walking
and stunning sunsets on the hills, quick
and easy access to Lyttelton via the
Diamond Harbour ferry (approx. five
mins), local shops, cafés and bar make this
a fun filled place to visit. Properties here
make an excellent investment and Purau
Bay and valley is a truly magical place to
live.
To view this property please contact
Tim Dunningham of Min Sarginson Real
Estate (Licensed Agent REAA 2008),
