Battle over<br />

plan to<br />

open new<br />

liquor shop<br />

heats up<br />

• By Claire Booker<br />

THE LAST thing some Fendalton<br />

residents want on their doorstep is<br />

a liquor store within 1km of four<br />

primary schools.<br />

Manpreet Kaur and her<br />

husband have applied for an<br />

off-license to sell liquor at 5<br />

Memorial Ave, next to Fendalton<br />

Takeaways.<br />

There was standing room only<br />

at Fendalton Open-air School<br />

last week, where more than 50<br />

members of the community<br />

attended a meeting to discuss<br />

their concerns over the proposed<br />

liquor store.<br />

Isobel Anderson lives next to<br />

the site and is leading the charge<br />

to stop the liquor store licence<br />

being granted.<br />

“We don’t want a liquor store in<br />

our area. There is too much harm<br />

of alcohol, I just don’t think it’s<br />

suitable,” she said.<br />

About 50 written objections<br />

have already been submitted to<br />

the city council, and residents<br />

have until tomorrow to send their<br />

views.<br />

Merivale restaurant takes top award<br />

• By Claire Booker<br />

MERIVALE’S NO.4 Bar and<br />

Restaurant took the top honour<br />

at the Hospitality New Zealand<br />

Awards for Excellence last week.<br />

The restaurant now holds the<br />

title of ‘best neighbourhood bar<br />

and eatery.’<br />

Owner Shaun Halliwell said<br />

it wasn’t the first award the<br />

business has won, but it was one<br />

of the most significant.<br />

“Since we opened No.4 in<br />

2006, real hospitality has been<br />

at the centre of everything we<br />

do. We look after our team, and<br />

they, in turn, stick around, often<br />

for many years and look after<br />

our customers. Some of them<br />

even recall individual loyalty<br />

card numbers,” he said.<br />

Mr Halliwell said the award<br />

is great recognition of all the<br />

hard work his staff put into their<br />

work.<br />

“They do a great job, they work<br />

incredibly hard,” he said.<br />

He thought the reason behind<br />

the businesses success is that<br />

its spaces cater to a range of<br />

occasions.<br />

“We can have a rowdy party<br />

going on in the bar, live music<br />

outside, and a formal dinner<br />

in the library, and everybody’s<br />

happy,” Mr Halliwell said.<br />

He submitted an application<br />

The revolution<br />

in heat pumps<br />

is here now!<br />

to Hospitality New Zealand to<br />

be entered in the running for the<br />

award and was pleased with the<br />

result.<br />

Head chef Ian Mulling – who<br />

has been with the No.4 team<br />

since it ran the Clarendon<br />

Restaurant on Oxford Tce<br />

which was destroyed in the<br />

earthquakes – accepted the<br />

award on behalf of the team at a<br />

ceremony in Hawke’s Bay.<br />

In Brief<br />

NEW SPEED LIMIT SIGNS<br />

Signs updating speed limit<br />

changes on Sisson Drive,<br />

Langdons Rd, Restell St and<br />

Winston Ave are set to be<br />

installed from Monday. The<br />

30km/h speed zones were<br />

approved by the Papanui-<br />

Innes Community Board<br />

in September. The work is<br />

expected to be finished by the<br />

end of next week.<br />

ST ALBANS DRAIN<br />

The timber-lined drain<br />

between 62 and 66 Sherborne<br />

St at Frees Creek has reached<br />

the end of its life and will<br />

be replaced. The work is set<br />

to start on Monday and is<br />

expected to take about two<br />

weeks to complete. Access to<br />

driveways and garages may<br />

be restricted at times due to<br />

the location of the drain.<br />

BELFAST WATER SUPPLY<br />

A new water supply well is<br />

being built at the Belfast<br />

Pump Station on Darroch<br />

St. The work is under way<br />

and is expected to run until<br />

the middle of next year. The<br />

new well will provide more<br />

drinking water to the city’s<br />

water supply network. No<br />

traffic impacts are expected,<br />

but there will be some<br />

construction noise.<br />

LINED UP: Former<br />

CBHS students at<br />

the annual old boys<br />

luncheon. PHOTO:<br />

GEOFF SLOAN<br />

Old boys celebrate at CBHS<br />

•From page 1<br />

The fundraiser is held each year<br />

for ex-students who started at<br />

the school 60 years ago or more,<br />

and old boys committee<br />

treasurer Trevor Hayes<br />

said the event was a<br />

“huge success.”<br />

It raised $3600 to<br />

support students’ mental<br />

health, and $1250 for the<br />

school’s PTA.<br />

Mr Hayes said Mr<br />

Gray was one of the first<br />

to accept the invitation<br />

when they were sent out<br />

last month.<br />

“[Mr Gray] sat at the top<br />

table with other 90-year-olds,<br />

headmaster Nic Hill, guest<br />

speaker Anton Matthews, head<br />

Trevor<br />

Hayes<br />

monitor Fergus Kilpatrick, and<br />

MC Terry Donaldson,” Mr Hayes<br />

said.<br />

The committee set an initial<br />

limit of 150 attendees.<br />

Within a week this was<br />

extended to 170 when<br />

invites closed and a waiting<br />

list was established.<br />

Guest speaker Mr<br />

Matthews owns the<br />

Fush fish and chip shop<br />

in Wigram, and is well<br />

known for his passionate<br />

talks about te reo Maori. He<br />

is also a former student and<br />

teacher of CBHS.<br />

“His [Mr Matthews] talk was<br />

about te reo and the benefits to<br />

New Zealanders to learn as much<br />

as we can of the Maori language<br />

for the future benefit of our<br />

children and grandchildren,” Mr<br />

Hayes said.<br />

Before the luncheon began,<br />

the past pupils were invited to<br />

walk around the corridors and<br />

main block of the school and<br />

reminisce about their time at<br />

CBHS.<br />

They were also given a tour of<br />

the school grounds, including the<br />

reconstructed Deans buildings,<br />

the work being done to restore<br />

the former Caddick and Caldwell<br />

blocks, the Big Room and the<br />

classroom block along Te Kura St.<br />

“We are not sure whether [Mr<br />

Gray] will return next year but<br />

welcome other old boys to reunite<br />

with their old school,” Mr Hayes<br />

said.<br />

Kitten cuteness at SPCA<br />

NOR’WEST NEWS<br />

KITTEN SEASON has begun at<br />

the SPCA’s Christchurch centre.<br />

The centre has 68 kittens in<br />

its care, either at the centre in<br />

intensive care or with foster<br />

families.<br />

This number will continue to<br />

rise in the coming weeks.<br />

The summer months are<br />

often nicknamed kitten season<br />

because of the high number<br />

of kittens that are born at this<br />

time.<br />

However, an SPCA spokeswoman<br />

said it typically finds<br />

that kitten season starts as early<br />

as September and the Christchurch<br />

centre is already gearing<br />

up for one busy summer.<br />

She said some of the most recent<br />

kittens in the Christchurch<br />

centre’s care came from the<br />

SPCA’s Ashburton branch and<br />

two had their lives saved when<br />

they were rescued.<br />

“A member of the public<br />

called our team and staff went<br />

out to help after the lady heard<br />

cries coming from under the spa<br />

pool in her garden.<br />

“The gap between the ground<br />

at the spa pool was so small<br />

that staff had to get a spade to<br />

dig a hole to get to the kittens.<br />

They were both tiny, and one<br />

was cold and appeared lifeless.<br />

Fortunately, they were rushed<br />

to the centre for intensive care<br />

and both are now doing well,”<br />

she said.<br />

FURRY FRIENDS: The SPCA’s Christchurch centre has 68<br />

kittens in its care and this number is expected to increase. ​<br />

Harewood designer lights<br />

up the timeball in Lyttelton<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

IT WAS AN emotional<br />

experience for Harewood’s Kevin<br />

Cawley when he saw the lights<br />

go on at the Timeball Station in<br />

Lyttelton for the first time.<br />

After 5pm every night, a<br />

“shaft of light” accentuates the<br />

difference between the two types<br />

of stone on the 143-year-old<br />

structure, which is one of five<br />

working timeballs in the world.<br />

It was Mr Cawley who took on<br />

the lighting project<br />

after being asked<br />

by Heritage New<br />

Zealand director<br />

for the southern<br />

region Sheila<br />

Watson.<br />

His aim was to<br />

Kevin<br />

Cawley<br />

make an “iconic<br />

structure become<br />

a beacon of pride<br />

to the community and to respect<br />

the architectural integrity of the<br />

tower and enhance the beauty of<br />

the structure by night.”<br />

Now the lighting designer has<br />

been recognised for his work with<br />

two awards of excellence.<br />

At the Illumination<br />

Engineering Society Chapter<br />

Lighting Awards, Mr Cawley<br />

received one award from IES and<br />

one from the Royal Astronomical<br />

Society of NZ for efficiently,<br />

effectively, sustainably protecting<br />

INSPIRATIONAL: Harewood<br />

designer Kevin Cawley<br />

created the lighting for<br />

Lyttelton’s Timeball Station.<br />

the night environment.<br />

“I was stoked. I felt extremely<br />

proud,” he said.<br />

Built in 1876 to a design by<br />

architect Thomas Cane, the<br />

timeball signalled the correct<br />

time for ships in Lyttelton<br />

Harbour until 1934.<br />

The reconstruction of the<br />

station after it was destroyed<br />

in the 2011 earthquake was<br />

completed in <strong>October</strong> last year.<br />

Mr Cawley has lit up some<br />

of Christchurch’s most iconic<br />

buildings, including the<br />

Isaac Theatre Royal and the<br />

Christchuch Casino.<br />

Residents fight bottle store plan<br />

•From page 1<br />

The key concerns for residents<br />

are a lack of parking, an increase<br />

in alcohol consumption and<br />

alcohol-related anti-social<br />

behaviour, and frustration<br />

around Memorial Ave being a<br />

memorial for fallen soldiers.<br />

The proposed liquor store<br />

would operate from 9am-10pm,<br />

seven days a week.<br />

Community Action on<br />

Youth and Drugs senior project<br />

worker Paul McMahon said it<br />

is important people make their<br />

voices heard, and attend the<br />

district licensing committee<br />

hearing when a date is set.<br />

“The more people who make<br />

their objections known, and<br />

the more people who go to the<br />

hearing, the less likely it will be<br />

granted,” he said.<br />

Mr and Mrs Kaur, who have<br />

applied for the consent, said they<br />

are open to addressing residents<br />

concerns with parking, and<br />

Mrs Kaur does not believe the<br />

store will cause any issues in the<br />

neighbourhood.<br />

“Liquor is available at the<br />

supermarket in the area, I don’t<br />

think it will cause any more<br />

issues,” Mrs Kaur said.<br />

The couple is open to installing<br />

security cameras and extra lights<br />

to promote safety in the area.<br />

Mr Kaur said the location was<br />

chosen due to the busy nature of<br />

the road.<br />

OPPOSITION: Community Action on Youth and Drugs senior<br />

project worker Paul McMahon does not want to see a new<br />

liquor store open on Memorial Ave. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />

“Every retailer looks for<br />

busy roads with parking for<br />

businesses that is a good<br />

location,”<br />

“We are not drug dealers – it’s<br />

just a liquor store,” he said.<br />

Fendalton resident Ashley<br />

Seaford has two teenagers living<br />

at his address.<br />

He is concerned the liquor<br />

store could increase the risk of<br />

alcohol-related harm, especially<br />

with its proximity to Canterbury<br />

University.<br />

“Opening a shop that<br />

focuses on the youth market by<br />

selling spirits and high alcohol<br />

RTDs is not wise and likely to<br />

lead to increases in alcoholrelated<br />

harm and problems,” he<br />

said.<br />

A Canterbury University<br />

spokesman said the university<br />

does not currently have a<br />

position on the matter.<br />

proposed liquor store can be sent<br />

Big award for Papanui<br />

retirement village team<br />

THE GARDENING team<br />

from Ngaio Marsh Retirement<br />

Village in Papanui have been<br />

praised for their hard work in<br />

the Christchurch Beautifying<br />

Association spring competition.<br />

The four men in the team won<br />

the Merivale Retirement Village<br />

Trophy for ‘continuing standards’<br />

in their work.<br />

Chris Downes is the head<br />

gardener and has been at the<br />

village for four-and-a-half years.<br />

He said there were a number<br />

of factors which helped the team<br />

win the award.<br />

“The secret is to have good<br />

water flow and so forth. I think<br />

it was the colour of the pansies,<br />

the yellow and blue, particularly<br />

down Grants Rd,” he said.<br />

The team values the<br />

environmentally. Green waste is<br />

sent to the city council’s Living<br />

Earth depots, and compost<br />

comes back to the village for use<br />

in the beds.<br />

Said village manager Anna<br />

Thomson: “Every day, I get<br />

compliments from residents<br />

and visitors about our beautiful<br />

gardens,” she said.<br />

Gardening ‘therapy’ pays off<br />

• By Claire Booker<br />

CAROL SKINNER has always<br />

been a passionate gardener, but<br />

when she was recovering from<br />

cancer treatment it became a<br />

sort of therapy.<br />

Her hard work in the garden<br />

has now won her two awards at<br />

the Christchurch Beautifying<br />

Association spring competition.<br />

While she was recovering<br />

from melanoma of the eye, she<br />

found peace in the garden.<br />

“I would come home from<br />

work angry and just start digging,<br />

it helped me to heal,” she<br />

said.<br />

Mrs Skinner said her husband<br />

Ray is a great help in the garden,<br />

but she gives him the directions.<br />

“It’s my way or the highway,<br />

he just does what he’s told,” she<br />

laughed.<br />

The couple won first place in<br />

the secret garden section of the<br />

awards and third equal in the<br />

Andrews Trophy.<br />

Mrs Skinner said it was incredibly<br />

rewarding to have her<br />

garden recognised, given it is<br />

“ever so slightly alternative” with<br />

the succulents, native plants,<br />

mosaics and pottery ornaments.<br />

The couple have lived in<br />

Northwood for a decade, and<br />

Mrs Skinner said a lot of the<br />

plants in their prize-winning<br />

garden were brought with them<br />

when they moved from the<br />

North Island.<br />

She describes the garden as<br />

architectural, with succulent<br />

plants and bulbs.<br />

Most of the plants are perennials,<br />

and she has a lot of dahlias<br />

and hellebores, as well as native<br />

plants.<br />

“I really like natives, and birds<br />

just go crazy for their seeds,”<br />

Mrs Skinner said.<br />

She spends “virtually every<br />

day” in the garden, doing odd<br />

jobs and gathering up debris.<br />

“I’m out there for about 12<br />

hours a week,” she said.<br />

Mrs Skinner isn’t a fan of<br />

garden gnomes, but she has a lot<br />

of her own pottery pieces.<br />

She said her secret garden<br />

is a favourite spot of her<br />

granddaughter’s who goes there<br />

to play with their dog Ruby.<br />

More than 60 entries<br />

in Art Couture festival<br />

DESIGNERS FROM across the<br />

city took out prizes at the recent<br />

wearable art festival Art Couture.<br />

More than 60 participants from<br />

across the South Island gathered<br />

at Lincoln to compete in the<br />

festival.<br />

It was the third annual show<br />

and the first time it included a<br />

body art category.<br />

Organiser Kim Strange said<br />

the body art category was a great<br />

addition to the show.<br />

“The designers painted for<br />

about eight hours at the event<br />

centre on the day of the show. The<br />

body art was well received and we<br />

look forward to having this in the<br />

show in 2020,” she said.<br />

Right – A design by Angelah<br />

Rose, of Northcote, took the<br />

best body art for a newcomer<br />

prize at Art Couture. PHOTOS:<br />

ON STAGE: Papanui designer Rilee McGlynn’s dress won the student under-20<br />

section, while Angela Pethig and Amber King, of Papanui, entered their hairy<br />

design and Naomi Flasher, of Burwood, was the supreme winner.<br />

Runner-up award for young<br />

golf ball dress designer<br />

AN upcoming fashionista<br />

had a ball at a wearable art<br />

competition.<br />

Year 9 Villa Maria College<br />

student Lucy Morrison<br />

was awarded runner-up<br />

in the 13-20 age category<br />

in the NZ Art Couture<br />

competition recently after<br />

making an outfit from golf<br />

balls.<br />

The whole outfit took<br />

Lucy eight-and-a-half<br />

months to complete and<br />

she finished it a day before<br />

the competition.<br />

“I realised I would have<br />

to cut the golf balls in half<br />

or else the dress would be<br />

too heavy so I used a saw<br />

and cut them in half,” she<br />

said.<br />

Lucy then realised she<br />

could use the inside of the<br />

balls which are all different<br />

colours on her skirt and<br />

top.<br />

She then added finishing<br />

touches to her skirt<br />

including grass and a flag,<br />

placing a golf ball in her<br />

hair along with making the<br />

shoes.<br />

Lucy said the idea grew<br />

from going to mini-golf<br />

with her friends.<br />

Development manager<br />

Keri Crompton said Lucy<br />

is only 13-years-old and it<br />

UPCOMING<br />

DESIGNER:<br />

Lucy<br />

Morrison, 13,<br />

was named<br />

runner-up<br />

at the NZ<br />

Art Couture<br />

competition<br />

recently<br />

in the<br />

13-20 age<br />

category. ​<br />

was an amazing feat to do<br />

so well against so many<br />

other experienced entrants.<br />

Lucy said she is definitely<br />

planning to enter more<br />

competitions including the<br />

Art Couture NZ competition<br />

next year.<br />

Digital Technology Brings<br />

Huge Benefits to Denture Wearers<br />

Not ones to follow the pack, Duchenne Denture<br />

Specialists have always been a company of firsts:<br />

– First to bring to you Duchenne’s DigiCare Denture System<br />

– First to introduce suction dentures to New Zealand<br />

– The only state-of-the-art laboratory of its kind in New Zealand<br />

– The only company in Christchurch that processes their dentures<br />

with injection moulding – for greater strength and a superior fit<br />

Why is Duchenne DigiCare better?<br />

• Faster, simplified<br />

process<br />

• Added strength<br />

and comfort<br />

These are all fantastic advances<br />

which the company are very<br />

proud of – and with good reason.<br />

But when it comes to dentures,<br />

there are only four things that<br />

really matter – appearance, fit,<br />

strength and comfort.<br />

And Duchenne Denture<br />

Specialists’ new Advanced<br />

DigiCare Technology offers major<br />

improvements in all these areas.<br />

Appearance<br />

This new technology allows<br />

us to make adjustments and<br />

changes that are more precise<br />

than before for a better, more<br />

natural appearance.<br />

Fit<br />

Duchenne can now also measure<br />

the final fit in microns, there is<br />

no shrinkage and you can try out<br />

your denture before it is finished<br />

– all helping to ensure a better,<br />

more accurate fit.<br />

• Easy<br />

replacements<br />

• Shorter<br />

wait times<br />

For a free consultation, call Duchenne on 0800 866 8448<br />

Dentures not fitting properly?<br />

Ill-fitting dentures can affect your teeth &<br />

mouth, make eating difficult, & just plain hurt!<br />

Using Duchenne’s exclusive DigiCare system,<br />

we can reline your dentures for optimal fit<br />

and comfort, and you’ll be surprised how<br />

quick and convenient the entire process is.<br />

• Locally<br />

produced<br />

• Finest quality<br />

products<br />

Strength<br />

Thanks to the technology’s<br />

unique bridging system, there<br />

is significantly less chance of<br />

dentures breaking or fracturing.<br />

Comfort<br />

Even the best technology<br />

is no use if dentures aren’t<br />

comfortable, and again digital<br />

dentures show their superiority<br />

here, as they are crafted from<br />

a much denser acrylic so<br />

are thinner and lighter.<br />

However, Duchenne still<br />

believe it is the human touch<br />

that matters most. “The most<br />

satisfying thing is the personal<br />

contact, and relationships<br />

we build with our clients,”<br />

explains Duchenne’s owner,<br />

John Batchelor.<br />

Caring for a Ugandan community<br />

In this week’s soapbox,<br />

Bishopdale Unichem<br />

pharmacists Amanda<br />

Nuttall and Maria Morley-<br />

Bunker share the highlights<br />

of their volunteer trip to<br />

Uganda, as reported in<br />

the August 27 issue of the<br />

Nor’West <strong>News</strong><br />

It is difficult to describe the<br />

range of emotions as we reflect<br />

on what has been an incredible<br />

journey.<br />

We feel privileged and<br />

humbled to have been connected<br />

with such beautiful people in<br />

such a beautiful place.<br />

Our team of 22 people was<br />

divided into three smaller teams<br />

with set activities.<br />

The construction team had the<br />

task of helping to progress the<br />

building of the new rehab centre<br />

and clinic. The teaching team<br />

supported the local teachers<br />

in the Kyampisi Childcare<br />

Ministries School.<br />

The care team, which we were<br />

part of, had the role of working<br />

with the children, carers and<br />

social workers at St Pauls Rehab<br />

Centre. This included teaching<br />

a first-aid course to the staff<br />

at the rehab centre and taking<br />

all of the kids swimming one<br />

afternoon.<br />

UGANDA: Maria Morely-Bunker and Amanda Nuttall met Mercy,<br />

the child the Bishopdale Pharmacy sponsors during their recent<br />

volunteer trip to Kyampisi, Uganda. ​<br />

The swimming was definitely<br />

one of our highlights –<br />

organised chaos but such fun.<br />

Another key highlight was<br />

the medical camp day. We were<br />

two of three Kiwi pharmacists<br />

all from Canterbury, with four<br />

nurses from Uganda.<br />

We provided just over 1000<br />

prescriptions for people,<br />

working from a tent, and in very<br />

different conditions to those we<br />

are used to.<br />

We were well supported<br />

by some of the boys from the<br />

construction crew later in the<br />

day who provided much-needed<br />

cups of tea.<br />

This was also the day people<br />

received the glasses donated<br />

by the Bishopdale community<br />

– over 120 pairs of glasses plus<br />

30 pairs of sunglasses. The<br />

local people working on the<br />

construction site received the<br />

sunglasses, which were much<br />

needed for both the sun and eye<br />

safety.<br />

All the glasses were cleaned<br />

and had their prescription<br />

measured and labelled thanks<br />

to Marcia and the team at Foate<br />

Optometry, Bishopdale.<br />

We both look forward to<br />

retaining our connection<br />

with KCM and the Kyampisi<br />

community. The team at the<br />

pharmacy sponsor a child,<br />

Mercy, which enables her to<br />

attend school.<br />

We were able to meet and<br />

spend time with her while we<br />

were there. We hope to return<br />

again in the next two years.<br />

Steve Sims responds to<br />

the <strong>October</strong> 15 Nor’West<br />

<strong>News</strong> article on rocks being<br />

thrown through windows in<br />

Bishopdale<br />

Having followed the Bishopdale<br />

Community Group page on<br />

Facebook and being a neighbourly<br />

lead in Casebrook, I have noticed<br />

a lot more comments posted<br />

almost everyday involving a<br />

crime of some sort. People along<br />

driveways, cars being tampered<br />

with, vehicle break-ins and thefts.<br />

More recently rocks were<br />

thrown through windows – one<br />

person being a victim more than<br />

once. I think even earlier this<br />

year, there were shots fired at a<br />

house on Tuckers Rd.<br />

I feel this has been increasing<br />

from late last year rather than<br />

a more recent increase. I was<br />

personally disappointed to read<br />

that we should give it a month and<br />

they will move on.<br />

I felt this was poor attitude to<br />

what was happening. It already<br />

seems to have been going on<br />

longer than a month and I think<br />

residents are getting sick and<br />

worried about it.<br />

I have heard there is a unit<br />

that patrols but has a vast area<br />

to cover and it is fully donation<br />

and volunteer run which is great,<br />

but can’t be everywhere at once, I<br />

understand that.<br />

Maybe set up a neighbourhood<br />

watch-type thing again or a new<br />

one.<br />

this could help.<br />

Louis caps stunning year with award<br />

• By Jacob Page<br />

CANTERBURY’S top secondary<br />

school sportsmen and women<br />

Tasty Bites<br />

Sweet and savoury<br />

dishes of the world<br />

These sweet and savoury treats from Russia and Japan are quick to prepare<br />

and very adaptable<br />

Russian apple cake<br />

Serves 8-10<br />

Ingredients<br />

6 large apples (granny smiths are<br />

perfect for this)<br />

3 large good-quality eggs, at<br />

room temperature<br />

1 cup sugar<br />

1 tsp vanilla<br />

1 cup flour<br />

Pinch cinnamon<br />

Directions<br />

Grease an 18cm round cake<br />

tin with removable bottom. Line<br />

with greaseproof paper.<br />

Prepare the apples by peeling<br />

and removing core. Cut the<br />

apples into small chunks and<br />

place directly into prepared cake<br />

tin.<br />

Using an electric mixer, whisk<br />

the eggs with the sugar and<br />

vanilla until thick and airy and<br />

ribbons form on the surface.<br />

Sift in the flour and fold<br />

through until just combined.<br />

Pour over the apples – the egg<br />

mixture should end up level with<br />

the apples. Bake in a pre-heated<br />

oven for 40-45min or until a<br />

skewer comes out clean. Cool for<br />

10min in the tin then remove and<br />

cool. This cake is delicious warm<br />

or cold.<br />

Okonomiyaki pancake<br />

Makes 4 large or 8 small<br />

Ingredients<br />

½ small cabbage, very thinly<br />

sliced<br />

4 carrots, julienned or sliced as<br />

thinly as possible<br />

½ red onion, sliced thinly<br />

4 leaves kale, cavolo nero, stalks<br />

removed and sliced very thin<br />

1 tsp salt<br />

6 eggs, lightly beaten<br />

½ cup flour or rice flour<br />

Oil for frying<br />

To serve<br />

2 spring onions, sliced thinly<br />

Japanese mayonnaise<br />

Okonomiyaki sauce<br />

Directions<br />

Toss all the prepared vegetables<br />

and salt together in a large bowl.<br />

Mix through the eggs and flour<br />

until evenly combined.<br />

Heat a large fry pan on<br />

medium-high heat. Coat the<br />

bottom of the fry pan with oil.<br />

When hot, add pancake<br />

mixture.<br />

Make either four large or eight<br />

small. These pancakes should<br />

be thick (½cm) and full of<br />

vegetables.<br />

If making the large ones you<br />

may only be able to cook one at<br />

a time. If this is the case, you can<br />

refresh them in a warm oven.<br />

Cook them until golden and<br />

crispy (3min).<br />

Carefully flip and continue<br />

cooking until golden on the other<br />

side. When cooked, remove and<br />

keep warm. Serve with sauces<br />

squiggled over the top and<br />

sprinkle with spring onions.<br />

Optional toppings are pork<br />

belly slices or shrimps.

237 Mt Pleasant Road, Mount Pleasant<br />

Auction: Thur 7 Nov at 4pm, on site (unless sold prior)<br />

3 Bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 car garaging | Listing Number OPA24823<br />

Impeccably crafted and executed, this<br />

spectacular brand new property overlooks<br />

outstanding scenery, combining striking<br />

visual form with the utmost convenience to<br />

comfortably accommodate modern family<br />

living.<br />

Newly constructed to the latest<br />

specifications, this build will provide peace<br />

of mind, the architectural finish satisfying an<br />

appetite for elegance.<br />

Bold black cedar and Rockcote over<br />

Integra panel cladding complements<br />

the oak flooring indoors where designer<br />

detailing include a David Trubridge feature<br />

light, quality McKenzie and Willis window<br />

furnishings and an exquisite kitchen.<br />

Magnificent ocean and estuary views with<br />

the sensational mountain views out to the<br />

Kaikoura’s provide a sense of serenity, and<br />

the glistening city lights ensure your outlook<br />

is idyllic, even by night.<br />

The intelligent layout places a strong<br />

emphasis on lifestyle, which will appeal<br />

to both families and couples who adore<br />

entertaining.<br />

Anchoring the open plan living is the chic<br />

kitchen, complete with island bench, walk-in<br />

pantry, high-end tiling and appliances. Eco<br />

and hardwood decking effortlessly extends<br />

from the home to provide outdoor living<br />

areas across both floors, with a level lawn and<br />

utilised in many ways: extra living, study or<br />

even a media room if required.<br />

access garaging is a bonus for any hillside<br />

home, while zoning for Mt Pleasant and<br />
