Rocks
smash
house
windows
• By Claire Booker
ROCKS ARE being thrown
through house windows,
terrifying those inside.
The incidents have happened
on Sunday nights on Highsted,
Veitches and Cavendish Rds in
Bishopdale and Casebrook.
Highsted Rd resident Christina
Davey was watching TV when
a rock was thrown through her
window about 10pm.
“I was sitting on the couch
watching TV and it happened
right behind me,” she said.
Miss Davey called 111, and
was told by police it was wilful
property damage. They did not
investigate it further.
“I don’t sit in front of that window
anymore, I’m just so pleased
my son was in bed asleep,” she
said.
Christchurch North Community
Patrol chairman Sam Hall
said the patrol had noticed an
increase in thefts and burglaries
in Bishopdale.
“It has been pretty bad lately,
but give it a month and they’ll
be somewhere else,” he said of
problems across the north-west
suburbs.

Harvey takes reins at SARA
• By Claire Booker
A NEW chairman has been
appointed to the St Albans
Residents Association – and for
the first time in nearly 10 years
the role will be held by a man.
Jason Harvey has stepped up
to fill the role previously held by
Emma Twaddell,
who has since
been employed
as a community
activator.
But Mr
Harvey, who
started last
Jason
Harvey
week, has no
concerns about
taking on the
role as a male.
“I think what matters is a
passion for developing a great
community,” he said.
Mr Harvey has been closely
involved with the mitigation
of the Downstream Effects
Management Plan, which is
set to bring more than 48,000
vehicles through the suburb.
Before moving to St Albans in
2011, Mr Harvey was a volunteer
firefighter for about four years.
He is also involved with youth
groups and youth camps, and
was an under-10 to under-13
coach at the Shirley Rugby Club
for a few years.
NEW BEGINNINGS: Former St Albans Residents Association
chairwoman Emma Twaddell has taken up a community
activator role.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
Mr Harvey, alongside Mark
Wilson, helped organise a
petition to try and stop the
Christchurch Northern Corridor
motorway traffic from being
funnelled through St Albans.
He said it is an honour to land
the role.
“SARA has done an amazing
job in advocating for our
community. I’m looking forward
to continuing that work with
everyone,” he said.
Mr Harvey’s priorities in his
new role are to continue with
the work the association already
has under way.
“The next year is a big
‘I think what matters is a
passion for developing a
great community’
– Jason Harvey
one with the opening of
the Christchurch Northern
Corridor and all the associated
works related to that, and the
building of the new community
centre,” he said.
Ms Twaddell gave up full-time
employment 13 years ago to be
a full-time mother, and she is
excited to move back into her
role as a community activator.
“Being well over dishes and
washing, I’m excited to be
employed again in a field that I
think is very rewarding. The role
is about using SARAs resources
to enable residents and local
groups to develop local groups,
activities and events,” she said.
Ms Twaddell said she doesn’t
know Mr Harvey very well, but
believes he has a quiet calmness
about him.
“He is diligent and in a good
team, I think he will be a good
leader, especially with a strong
committee behind him,” she
said.
Peter Jaspers and Conrad
Fitzgerald have also joined the
association’s committee.
In Brief
BIRD-SCARING GUNS
Two bird-scaring gas guns
will be placed along the
Christchurch Northern
Corridor this month to ward
of birds. The gas guns will
be placed as far away from
residential properties as
possible, but the noise may be
heard from a distance. The guns
will be used until the plants are
established. It is likely they will
be taken away in December.
CRANFORD ST WORK
Work was due to start on
Monday to upgrade Cranford
St to four lanes, with a central
median and cycle lanes on
both sides of the road. The
intersection of Cranford St
and Innes Rd will also be
widened, and turning lanes
will be improved. All traffic
on Cranford St will be moved
to the east side of the road and
there will be 30km/h speed
limit. The work will take two
and three weeks.
REDWOOD LIBRARY OPEN
After a two-month closure for
repairs and refurbishment, the
Redwood Library has reopened.
It was due to open on August
26, but damage to the concrete
slab around the structural
steel columns was found and
repaired.

Big upgrade for Graham Condon
Belfast
pensioners
hit the road
• By Claire Booker
SHOPPING IN Christchurch
is getting busier – so a group of
elderly Belfast residents decided to
get theirs done in Ashburton.
The Belfast Active Senior
Support group spent a day in the
town, op-shopping and visiting
Trott’s Garden.
Belfast Community Network’s
Debbie Booker, who supports the
group, said the day out was a great
success.
“Our seniors miss going to
‘town’ since the earthquakes, it is
important for them to have easy
access and parking so that they
don’t need to walk too far. They
also thoroughly enjoy going somewhere
different that they haven’t
been to for a long time,” she said.
The group was started to offer
services and programmes for
older members of the community,
especially those who may be
lonely or isolated.
CLOSURE: Graham Condon Recreation and Sports
Centre will be closed from mid-January for a series of
refurbishments.
THE GRAHAM Condon
Recreation and Sport Centre will
undergo a refresh over summer.
It will be the most significant
maintenance and refurbishment
work to be carried out on the
facility since it opened eight years
ago. However, it will be closed
temporarily from mid-January.
The refresh will start in mid-
January and include
work to improve the
efficiency of the facility,
such as changing to LED
lighting.
Other work will include
painting, replacement of
showers and toilets and
pool-side work.
The main hall and gym
will be completed first
and re-open in early February,
while the remainder of the centre
– including the pools – will reopen
in early April.
City council head of recreation,
sports and events Nigel Cox says
the facility has had a lot of use
since opening, especially as other
recreation and sports centres
were closed or damaged after the
earthquakes.
“Since Graham Condon opened
in October 2011, a huge number
of people have made use of the
facility. It’s definitely time for it
to have deferred maintenance
Nigel Cox
completed to ensure it is modern,
efficient and well maintained for
continued community use.
“We thank the public for their
patience as we carry out this
much-needed work and hope
they look forward to seeing and
experiencing the benefits it will
bring,” he said.
Over the past two years
refurbishments have also
been carried out at Pioneer
and Jellie Park recreation
and sports centres.
Mr Cox said as other
new facilities like He
Puna Taimoana in New
Brighton, the Metro Sports
facility, Te Pou Toetoe
in Linwood, and the
planned library, customer
services and recreation and
sport centre in Hornby are built,
they will be added into the city
council’s scheduled maintenance
programme.
“It’s important to regularly
maintain these popular assets for
the community,” he said.
During the closure period the
community is encouraged to use
Jellie Park and Tairoa QEII or the
city council’s outside pools, which
will be open over the summer.
People with specific
memberships at Graham Condon
will be able to use other centres.

Pub quizzes help pay for
pool resource consent
• By Claire Booker
PUB QUIZZES seem to be highly
popular in St Albans, with funds
from the event helping to pay for
the $43,000 resource consent for
the proposed Edgeware Pool.
The monthly quizzes held
at Bailies Bar have helped pay
off the last of the cost for the
resource consent and subdivision
fees for the project.
More than 50 loyal trivia enthusiasts
have regularly attended
the events to support the community
pool.
The pool has been a contentious
issue in the area since its
closure and demolition in 2006
by the city council.
In 2016, the city council sold
the land for the Edgeware Pool to
the St Albans Pavilion and Pool
Group for $1.
The city council stated at the
time it would not contribute to
the project, but later said it would
commit $1.25 million if the group
could raise the rest of the $5 million
costs.
The St Albans Pavilion and
Pool group are now awaiting
the results of a feasibility study,
which are expected next month.
The revolution
in heat pumps
is here now!
ARTIST’S IMPRESSION: The designs for Edgeware Pool will
be assessed in a feasibility study, and results are expected in
November.
The study will assess the practicality
of the new Edgeware Pool
designs and whether it will be an
asset to the community.
After the study, the group can
apply for money from major
charitable funding groups to
build the pool.
St Albans Pavilion and Pool
spokeswoman Valerie Somerville
said once the study is complete,

Student wins
awards for
inspiring others
• By Jess Gibson
ELEANOR HURTON has
found strength in living with a
disability.
And now, she is empowering
other young people to do the
same.
The 25-year-old masters student
from Northwood, who has
a hearing disorder, received two
major trophies at the Canterbury
University Blues Awards.
She won the outstanding
contribution to equity and
diversity award and was a joint
winner of the most prestigious
community award the outstanding
achievement in community
engagement.
Miss Hurton received four
nominations for the community
awards – the most ever received
in the community section since
the category was added to the
awards three years ago.
“I feel very humbled. As a
young person with a disability,
when I won multiple Blues
Awards I didn’t win them for
myself, I won then for everyone
in the disabled community who
strives to make Aotearoa a more
equitable and accessible country
for people with disabilities,” she
said.
Miss Hurton was diagnosed
with auditory processing disorder,
which affects how the brain
processes speech, in 2017.
Following an initial bout of
thinking APD was the worst
part about her, she came to
terms with her diagnosis and
decided she would support others
who may feel like they had to
hide their truth.
Since then, Miss Hurton has
gone on to set up ReDefine:
Youth Development Programme,
which aims to redefine
what it means to be a young
person with a disability and
empowers them to take on a
positive identity.
She is the first person with a
disability to ever be on the committee
for the Christchurch City/
Banks Peninsula community organisation
grants scheme, which
has allocated over $700,000 of
funds to the disability sector.

LOOK OUT: Sam Hall and
the Christchurch North
Community Patrol are
encouraging residents to
stay vigilant when it comes to
safety. ​
We have an amazing group
of volunteers who are all well
trained and police vetted.
Our patrollers are a mixture of
young and old, men and woman.
Some are retired, a number are
police recruits, and others are
just people wanting to help out in
their community. If you would
like to join us, then you would be
most welcome.
We have a Facebook page,
which has provided a great way
for people to get in touch with us
and find out what we do.
As well as the hotspot and
burglary maps that the police
give us, we have been able to add
more areas of concern to our
patrol routes.
We adjust our times and routes
with this information, and
With

Baking fresh each day since 1986
we have added later shifts and
concentrated patrols in these
streets.
With an increase in activity in
our area, we suggest you remove
valuables from your cars when
you lock up. Invest in car alarms,
and keep vigilant with regards to
unwanted people on your streets.
Our motto when patrolling is
if something doesn’t look right –
then it probably isn’t. If you see
something or someone, and they
are still in the area, then phoning
111 is your best option. This will
get the police there fast.
You could also take down
number plates, descriptions, and
a direction of travel if you can.
If they are long-gone, or there is
something that doesn’t require a
police presence right away, then
you can call the 105 number to
report it. Keep safe, and look
after your neighbours.

Kids get ready to fish
ANGLER: Brooke Meldrum, of Burwood, was proud of her catch
at last year’s Take a Kid Fishing event.
• By Claire Booker
ABOUT 800 salmon and
rainbow trout will be released
before the Take a Kid Fishing day
at The Groynes lakes on Sunday.
The event was first held in 1988
and is the largest of its type in
New Zealand.
Isaac
Conservation
and Wildlife
Trust chairman
Dave Denton
is helping to
organise the day.
He said a key
objective is “to
give children
a sense of confidence and
Dave
Denton
self-worth by involving them
and their families in a healthy
outdoor pursuit.
“Many children have no
opportunity to enjoy such an
outdoor experience and they just
don’t know how to get involved.
This event offers a lot more than
fishing. Encouraging children
to fish is a great way to develop
closer family relationships and
outdoor involvement. And while
fishing is the tool, the benefits are
much wider,” he said.
The event will run from 9am
to 1pm. Rods, tackle and bait
will be available on loan, but
identification must be brought by
the parent or caregiver.
Painter produces
artwork to raise
cash for charity
•From page 1
The results came back clear,
much to Ms Burdett’s relief,
but she continued painting
and compiling artwork for the
calendar.
She developed a passion
for art when she was at high
school in Whakatane, and says
painting is not hard for her –
she just lets
her feelings
flow on to the
canvas.
Ms Burdett’s
feature
piece for the
calendar
La Femme
portrays femininity and hope.
“It had to be beautiful and
feminine,” she said.
Family is an important part
of Ms Burdett’s life and the
inspiration behind her art,
which is mostly done using oil
paint.
“Every painting has a story,
people may not get it, but
they just have to use their
imagination,” she said.
‘This is not perfect, I’m
not perfect, but this is
through my eyes’
– Lorelei Burdett
Each painting generally takes
Ms Burdett about two days to
complete, depending on how
“hyped-up” she is about it.
Many of the pieces in the
calendar are colourful and
dedicated to members of her
family, including her late
husband Peter, who died in 2009
from pancreatic cancer.
After Peter
died, she
dedicated
a calendar
to him and
painted
another one
for the CD
Kids Hospital
Appeal in 2017.
Ms Burdett said her art may
not be perfect, but that is part of
the beauty of it.
“This is not perfect, I’m not
perfect, but this is through my
eyes, and that’s how I like it,” she
said.

NOR’WEST NEWS
Negotiation may be a key requirement
for a successful real estate career, but it’s
surprising how often fluency in this core
skill is absent.
This is an assessment I’ve made through recent
personal observations of consultants from a
myriad of different companies, in addition to
‘coalface’ participation, and as a result I’m now
prioritizing the teaching of negotiation methods.
It is, after all, a skill that benefits from practice,
and all skills are improved through training and
diligence.
It’s not necessarily easy and, for some consultants,
it’s just too confronting to move people from their
expectations. In previous markets, especially in the
days when house purchases flowed off the back of
large insurance payouts, very little negotiation may
have actually been required, especially regarding
price. But not now. In the current market, not
negotiating effectively prevents everyone from
meeting at the point of compromise and can
prevent a result. Little wonder it is so important to
get a skilled negotiator.
History has taught me that every owner (myself
included) wants the best/highest price and this
may or may not be a realistic price. Accompanying
this is the fact that every buyer wants to pay the
fairest/lowest price, not necessarily the asking
price. There you have it: the dichotomy of any
sales process.
With property, all the odds are particularly large, so
the stakes are high – as are the emotions.
The solution lies with effective negotiation and
here are some of the practices and philosophies
supporting that process.
To be an exceptional negotiator requires strong
communication skills, both through listening and
through clearly and empathetically discussing both
sides of a situation, emphasis on both! There are
three documented phases to negotiation:
1. Preparation Which looks at the intention of each
party, for example, as set out in a contract.
In real estate that’s seen in the presentation of an
offer where negotiations can be required to move
the two parties to a point of acceptance.
2. Development This could be where specific
clauses are determined, the all-important price is
considered, and specific points of view or conflict
are argued and defended. Some consultants excel
at this.
3. Closing Just as it states, all parties have matters
done (or not), they understand what has transpired
and then everything is recorded in writing.
Now this whole process might take minutes, hours,
a day. I’ve seen negotiations go on for a week and
the clinical description I’ve detailed overlooks the
massive emotional weight that comes to bear. It can
involve tears, conflict and disappointments, but it
can also be an incredibly satisfying and happy event.
It’s therefore critical to know your agent has the skill
to navigate the often choppy waters of negotiation.
I'll be doing my utmost to ensure they do.

Growing fruit in the 19th century
Papanui Heritage Group
chairman Murray Williams
– with research from
Christine Grant – writes
about the orchardist
Frederick William Cone
PAPANUI WAS first settled
because of the attraction of
the Papanui Bush, which
provided timber for the nearby
Christchurch market.
However, the native forest
was quickly cut out, although it
was soon discovered that once
drained, the land would support
farming and horticulture.
From the 1860s, Papanui
became a centre for orcharding
and eventually the necessary
infrastructure was developed.
For example, the arrival of the
railway link with Christchurch
in 1872 was a major advantage,
as was the later development of
cool stores, which helped in the
more orderly marketing of the
area’s apple crop.
Many tried their luck as
orchardists.
One such individual was
Frederick William Cone. Born
in 1866 at Ashley Downs, he
did not enter this industry until
his mid-40s, having trained
as a saddler and worked in
this business in several towns,
ranging from Rangiora and
Kaiapoi and later in New
Plymouth and Inglewood.
He married Helen (Nellie)
Wilson in 1888 and the
couple had a family of 12,
eight of whom survived
childhood.
In 1910 he purchased five acres
at Langdons Rd in Papanui and
established himself as a producer
of apples, pears and plums.
His eight daughters all worked
in the orchard, which came to be
known popularly as the ‘Garden
of Eden’.
Apples graded as exportworthy
were sent to the United
States for a return of £1 per case.
The property featured a large
two-storey house with two
internal staircases, although
when the reticulation of
electricity became available, only
the ground floor was connected
as the cost of installation
precluded this luxury upstairs.
An artesian well provided good
quality water for the home and
orchard.
Cone’s land was to play an
important part in the future of
Papanui.
In 1945 it was sold and became
part of the site on which The
Firestone Corporation built its
tyre factory that became a large
ESTATE:
The Cone
homestead,
where
Papanui
orchardist
Frederick
Cone and his
family lived.
Papanui employer. The land
formerly owned by Cone was
eventually donated to the city of
Christchurch by Bridgestone, the
company which had purchased
the Firestone plant until it too
withdrew from Papanui.
It is this land beside the
railway that is now the subject
of a project to replant the area
with native trees and will
hopefully bring back the native
birds which once thrived in the
original bush. The venture is
being led by Papanui Rotary and
the city council, as well as other
local organisations including the
Papanui Heritage Group.
New life for
artist’s
old home
WORK IS underway to adapt
the former home in Richmond
of acclaimed Christchurch artist
Bill Sutton into a house museum
and community centre.
The Templar St home, in the
red zone, will be gifted to the city
council by the Crown after the
restoration project is complete to
allow Sutton’s legacy to live on.
Land Information New
Zealand chief executive Gaye
Searancke says the restoration
of the significant site, protected
by a covenant, marks the start of
wider regeneration plans for the
Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor.
“It’s an honour for LINZ to be
involved in this project which,
once complete, will bring new
life to this special home,” said Ms
Searancke.
“As kaitiaki of this land, we
are always looking for new ways
to support the use of the residential
red zone, and this is just
another way we can help make
that happen.” The trust plans
to use the facility to run tours
about the life and work of Sutton
and run a range of community
programmes and public meetings.
The restoration is expected
to be completed and the facility
opened to the public in March.

More piping
success for
Campbell
• By Claire Booker
CAMPBELL WILSON may
only be 16, but his list of
bag-piping success is almost
never-ending.
Last week, the St Andrew’s
College pupil won the New
Zealand Young Piper of the Year
award for the second year in a
row.
“It feels pretty surreal, all I
wanted to do in nelson was to
play good tunes, and that was
what I did,” Campbell said.
At the competition in Nelson,
Campbell won all three under-21
events, the piobaireachd,
march, strathspey and reel, and
the hornpipe jig.
“It’s certainly one of the most
prestigious awards I’ve won in
New Zealand, for sure,” he said.
In August, Campbell won
the under-18 piobaireachd and
under-18 march, strathspey
and reel events at the Northern
Meeting in Inverness, Scotland.
In the piping world, the annual
Northern Meeting is the
most prestigious competition for
solo pipers around the world.
He made history at the Hastings
Highland Games in April
when he became the youngest
ever winner of the New Zealand
Gold Medal for Piobaireachd.
Campbell said he practices
about five or six hours each
week and usually has a lesson on
the weekend with his father.
He said the hours he practices
when competitions are not in
the near future seem extensive,
but when competitions are
on the horizon, he feels well
prepared.
Campbell’s father Greg
Wilson is classified as one of the
top pipers in the world – and
doubles as his tutor.
“He [Greg] has been the
backbone of my piping successes.
Without him I wouldn’t
do nearly as well as I am now,”
Campbell said.
Campbell is now looking
forward to when he competes
against his father at the upcoming
Labour weekend competitions.
“The next steps for me would
be having success in the annual
Labour Weekend competitions
coming up in a couple of weeks.
As my dad always says, you’re
only as good as your next tune,”
he said.
Daniel hits the books after
bringing home third NZ title
SPORT
• By Jacob Page
BURWOOD’S DANIEL Meehan
is happy to juggle his boxing
dream with studying for his
NCEA level one exams.
Fresh from winning his third
consecutive national amateur
boxing title, the 16-year-old
was hitting the books last week
rather than the punching bag.
Daniel, who trains at Papanui’s
Smiling Tigers Boxing Gym,
won the junior under-60kg New
Zealand title at the tournament
in Hastings and was also named
most scientific junior boxer.
“It felt good to win another
national title,” he said.
“I didn’t know much about my
two opponents, so I just tried to
control what I could control.
“I just wanted to control the
ring (with foot movement) and
use my jab to keep scoring. Be as
scientific as possible.”
He is following in the footsteps
of his father, Danny, who had
more than 120 fights when he
was based in Manawatu.
Daniel has been training for
the past six years under Smiling
Tigers coach Mark Fuller.
He initially started hitting

to his growing list

pads with his dad in the garage
and progressed from there.
He has big goals. “I’d like to
compete at the Commonwealth
Games in 2022,” he said.
“I’ll be 19 by then so that’s
what I’ve set my sights on.”
Daniel trains five times a week
and will not ease up even with
exams looming.
Fuller, who was also one of
the Canterbury coaches at the
tournament, said Daniel has a
bright future. “He has a great
work ethic, and, yes, he has the
genes that help him but he
is extremely dedicated,” he
said.
“He’s a smart boxer in there
and knows what he is about. I
don’t think the Commonwealth
Games is too big of a goal for
him if he keeps on this path,”
Fuller said.
Daylight savings gives us a
great opportunity to make the
most of our vibrant Canterbury
region. I took the children to
Hagley Park on the weekend to
ride their bikes and the spring
blossoms on the trees framing
the walkways looked right out
of a tourism brochure. Walking
around the botanical gardens to
show the kids the daffodils made
me realise how lucky we are to
have our garden city with its easy
access to the mountains and
the sea on our doorstep. The
opening of the Riverside Market
this month showcased a great
new asset for Christchurch and
is yet another way to exhibit our
region to visitors.
My Northern Christchurch
over 60s coffee mornings have
started this month in Belfast. It’s
especially important to me, as
local MP, that I listen to our over
60s because I believe you’ve
worked hard in your life and
deserve a secure retirement. Our
region is enjoying strong growth
but we need to ensure services
are available as our region grows
and that we have a strong focus
on creating an age-friendly
community.
I’m always inviting local
organisations and groups to
catch up with me and last week
I enjoyed being shown around
the Papanui Club by its general
manager, who explained how
they reach out to our North West
community, and the elderly in
particular, to provide socialisation
and friendship.
Please take care to protect
yourselves from measles as we
wait on more vaccines to be
available. National is pushing to
make the vaccine available to
our early childhood education
teachers to protect children with
compromised immune systems.
We need to keep them safe.

Journeys of the Heart

19 October - 19 November 2019
Two years since Clare’s last Little River gallery show,
and much has changed in her life; she has moved south
to Blueskin Bay and fashioned a new existence after the
death of her life partner and fellow artist, Max Podstolski.
Last September Clare travelled to Spain to walk part of
the Camino, raising money for Leukaemia and Blood
Cancer New Zealand, as a way of giving something to
help others coping with a terminally ill loved one and a
way of self-healing.
It was an Main outward Rd, and Little inward River journey | 03 325 for Clare. 1944This time
and distance away

allowed her to explore whether she
could find a sense of joy again in her work and her life,
and she was able to choose to keep on painting. The
resilience of the human spirit to endure parting and grief,
for Clare, came from the power and beauty of the natural
environment around her.
These works explore Clare’s journey back into painting
and finding a sense of renewal and a path forward that is
not merely surviving but thriving.
The Last Plum Gone Sing Me the Path Forward
“Uplift my singing heart,
as once it was torn asunder.
The wound, now papered over, is not forgotten,
but pulsing with a tenderness for a further chance of life.
With every beat it grows a little stronger, a little lighter.
The cycle of returning to old places, empty now without you,
gives me a knowing that each movement forward,
when facing the storm of solitude,
is a healing.
The call of the light reveals an illuminating path.
Not merely to survive but truly thrive.
Now dance me into a fresh dawn
of hope and possibilities on
these Journeys of the Heart.
I’m over the moon to be alive.”

Tasty Bites
NOR’WEST NEWS
Moving veges to centre stage
No longer the side dishes, the back-up dancers or the understudies, vegetables
have earned their place front and centre on the plate as this pizza shows
Broccoli margherita pizzas
Serves 4
Ingredients
1 x quantity broccoli dough (see
following basic recipe)
⅔ cup (50g) finely grated
parmesan
300g cherry tomatoes, torn in
half and squeezed to remove the
seeds
¼ cup (4g) oregano leaves
Extra virgin olive oil, for
drizzling
2 x 125g fresh mozzarella balls,
torn
Basil leaves, to serve
Finely grated parmesan, plus
extra to serve (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 200 deg C.
Line 2cm x 30cm round oven
trays with non-stick baking
paper.
Divide the dough in half and
press on to each tray to make
2cm x 28cm round pizza bases.
Bake for 20min or until firm and
slightly golden.
Sprinkle the bases with
parmesan and top with the
tomatoes and oregano.
Drizzle with a little oil.
Return the pizzas to the oven
and bake for a further 20min or
until golden.
Top warm pizzas with the
mozzarella and sprinkle with
basil and extra parmesan to
serve.
Cook’s notes: You can add
your favourite toppings to this
pizza.
Just avoid anything that might
make the broccoli base turn soft
(such as tomato puree).
It’s best to stick to fresh
tomatoes with the seeds and
some of the juice squeezed out.
Try sprinkling over preroasted
pumpkin, eggplant
(aubergine) or zucchini
(courgette).
To have these pizza bases on
standby for busy days, bake
them for the first 20min, then
cool, wrap and freeze for later
use.
Broccoli dough
Ingredients
600g broccoli florets (about two
heads), roughly chopped (see
cooks notes)
¾ cup (90g) almond meal
(ground almonds)
½ cup (25g) finely grated
Parmesan
3 eggs
Sea salt and cracked black
pepper
Directions
In small batches, place
the broccoli in a food
processor and process until
finely chopped. Transfer to a
large bowl.
Add the almond meal,
parmesan, eggs, salt and pepper
to the broccoli and mix well to
combine.
Makes one quantity.
Cook’s notes: It’s best if you
don’t add too much of the
broccoli stem to this dough.
A floret with roughly 6-8cm of
stem is great.
Adding extra can make the
dough watery.
You can swap half, or all, of
the broccoli for cauliflower if
you prefer.
Again, just don’t use too much
of the stem.

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS
NOR’WEST NEWS
Customers pleased with honest,
reliable vehicle servicing
Having your vehicle regularly serviced is
key to getting the best out of it in terms of
fuel efficiency and reduced wear and tear
on expensive parts.
Kevin, who owns and operates Parker
Automotive in Birmingham Drive,
provides full vehicle servicing to keep your
vehicle running smoothly, as well as WOFs,
batteries and tyres.
He also carries out all mechanical repairs,
including cam belt replacement, suspension
work, clutch and gearbox repairs, only
repairing what’s necessary, and without
charging the earth.
He has owned the business since 2007,
and over that time has established a loyal
customer base – people that rely on him
to give them sound advice and provide
professional care and servicing for their
vehicles.
Customers come from across the city,
Spreydon, Hillmorton, Riccarton, Halswell
and Middleton areas, and the business has
received many positive Google reviews
from customers. Below are some examples:
I have been going to Parker Automotive
for the last eight years and I cannot fault the
service. The mechanical work has been top
notch! If you want top service and value for
money I recommend Parker Automotive. –
Daniel Jay
I’ve had all sorts of work done here from
basic servicing and warrants through to
major work like clutches, replacement
coilovers and bushings. Kevin is a very
honest guy who gets the job done in a very
timely manor and he has outstanding
communication. The overall service I’ve
received is excellent. – Lachlan Poole
I know it’s not always about price but
sometimes, when it comes to vehicle repairs,
you just want a perceived good deal and work
carried out by someone who seems to care.
Kevin came recommended by a friend, and
what a great recommendation. His work was
clean, efficient, fast and came in under what
I thought it was going to cost. So we took my
partner’s car there two days later and that
too was completed faster than we expected
and at an almost unbelievable cost.
Give Parker Automotive a shot next
time you need something done. Kevin
is a nice fella too, win win. – Mark
Lewis
Earlier this year, Parker Automotive
moved from premises on the Lincoln
and Torrens roads corner to a new site
at 23B Birmingham Drive, Middleton.
Opening hours are Monday to
Friday 7.30am-4pm, Saturday 8am-
12pm. So give Kevin a call on 982
4268, or pop in and he will be happy
to help with all your vehicle servicing
needs.

sun with panoramic views over Lyttelton
Harbour and surrounding hills across to
Quail Island.
Stroll up the driveway, past single garage
and carport up a few steps across a deck
onto the first level. Here you find three
double bedrooms. The master with access
to decent size bathroom having the luxury
of shower, bath and double his-and-hers
sinks, plus a separate toilet. The laundry

property.
The private landscaped courtyard provides
all day living, ideal for that morning cuppa
to evening BBQs. Take time to breath in the
fragrant Jasmine that adorns the trellis.
The light-filled open-plan kitchen/dining
area is the heart of the home. Here stunning
picture-perfect sea views from the fulllength

high ceilings making for that feeling of
spaciousness.

where a balcony off this room provides
additional living or entertaining space.
Stairs continue through the centre of the
house to a cleverly designed mezzanine
floor. Again, be spoilt with superb views
from the dining room windows. Having its
own shower and toilet makes this a super
fourth double bedroom, but if you want
space, light, and a “special spot” in which
to work from home, then this is just the
space. This is one of those properties where
careful planning, quality and convenience
for modern day living will have you want
