It was all about the fun on the farm at The New Zealand Agricultural Show last week. Children had the chance to get up 

close and personal with furry friends from the farmyard, like year 8 St Andrew’s College pupil Issy Bhatia. Other show 

attractions included an array of livestock and equestrian exhibits, live music, Endurocross, a food and wine village and 

more.

Record 

number of 

objections 

to proposed 

liquor store 

• By Claire Booker 

A RECORD-breaking number 

of objections were submitted to 

the city council over a proposed 

liquor store on Memorial Ave. 

In the last three years, the most 

public objections the city council 

had received on an alcohol licence 

application was 121. 

But 207 people opposed the liquor 

store near the BP petrol station 

on Memorial Ave, which is within 

1km of four primary schools. 

Key concerns for residents are 

a lack of parking, an increase in 

alcohol consumption and alcoholrelated 

anti-social behaviour, and 

frustration around Memorial Ave 

being a memorial for fallen soldiers. 

The proposed liquor store would 

operate from 9am-10pm, seven 

days a week. 

Isobel Anderson lives in the 

property which shares a driveway 

with the proposed store, and she 

said the large number of objections 

was “absolutely wonderful.” 

Said Ms Anderson: “I think 

we’re passionate about our area 

here. There’s obviously been a 

problem with liquor in the area 

because we’ve had a liquor ban 

in place. So we’re pretty keen on 

trying to stop it [liquor store].”

Rocks shatter more windows 


IT SEEMS the “covert 

operations” police have been 

using to catch rock-wielding 

offenders have misfired. 

At least five reports of rocks 

being thrown through windows 

in Bishopdale were reported last 

week, on top of the seven previous 

reports, and one victim was 

a 94-year-old woman. 

A police spokeswoman said 

the damage reported last week 

was mostly on 

Harewood Rd 

and Cotswald 

Ave, but previously, 

Highsted, 

Veitches and Cavendish 

Rds were 

targeted. 

Roy Appley 

The spokeswoman 

said some 

of the reports received last week 

came in some time after the 

damage was caused. 

That brings the total reported 

number of rocks smashing windows 

to about 12. 

A 94-year-old woman was 

sitting at home last Sunday 

evening when a rock smashed 

through her lounge window 

where she sits at night and 

watches television. 

She got up to call the police, 

and when she was out of the 

lounge, a second rock came flying 

through the already broken 

window. 

The woman phoned a neighbour 

for help, and not long after 

the neighbour arrived, a third 

rock was thrown at her kitchen 

window, which luckily did not 

smash. 

Sandra Dougall also had a 

window smashed on her Highsted 

Rd property, and said the 

week before, two rocks hit her 

roof. 

Last week, the Nor’West 

News revealed police had been 

undertaking a series of “covert 

and overt operations” to try and 

catch the people responsible for 

the broken windows. 

Senior Sergeant Roy Appley 

said police had not held anybody 

responsible for the damage as of 

last week, but said the operations 

DAMAGE: 

Rocks 

continue to 

be thrown 

through 

windows in 

Bishopdale 

in spite of an 

increased 

police 

presence. 

would continue. 

He said police are always 

happy to receive anonymous 

information from members 

of the community, and people 

are also able to report through 

crimestoppers. 

Last week, three children were 

seen throwing eggs at the back of 

the Bishopdale Unichem Pharmacy, 

near New World. 

Pharmacy owner Maria 

Morley-Bunker was not sure if 

the damage was connected to the 

rocks but believed police were 

investigating further. 

Said Mrs Morley-Bunker: “I’m 

not aware of it being connected 

[to the rock throwing]. I think 

it was just kids seeing an 

opportunity and being a bit 

silly.” 

In Brief 

ODOUR TREATMENT UNIT 

Work has started on a new 

odour treatment unit on 

Cavendish Rd in Casebrook. 

The unit will treat the odour 

generated by the local sewer 

system. Some on-road parking 

will be lost, and a section of the 

footpath on the eastern side of 

the road will be closed during 

the works. Work is expected to 

run until December. 

ON-RAMP TO RE-OPEN 

The Chaneys on-ramp is 

scheduled to re-open on 

Monday. The left-hand turn 

from Marshland Rd, and Hills 

Rd, are also set to re-open 

by Monday. There have been 

delays the completion of this 

work due to broken machinery. 

The Chaneys on-ramp will 

close permanently when 

the Christchurch Northern 

Corridor opens next year. 

BOARD MEETING 

The Papanui-Innes 

Community Board will hold 

its first ordinary meeting on 

Friday at 9.15am. Newly elected 

board members will meet at the 

Board Room in the Papanui 

Service Centre to go over the 

first agenda set by the city 

council since October’s local 

body elections. The meeting is 

open for the public to attend.

discover the latest trends, Yvonne attends NZ Gift 

Fairs three times a year – twice in Auckland and

“By going to the fairs where they have all the new 

gift items on display, I am able to source and 

stock different items from what other pharmacies 

may have,” Yvonne says. “This year we have some 

new suppliers as well.” 

Some of the most popular items currently in-store 

include: ceramic family heads, (which can be used 

as pot plant holders or simply as décor items), 

boxed toiletry sets for men and women, hypo 

allergenic jewellery, makeup and makeup brush 

sets and the fantastic Moana Rd sunglasses range. 

The new Moana Rd unisex Jandal selection has 

just arrived. Another new favourite range is from 

Hauland and includes recycled and reusable gift 

bags as well as toothbrush covers. 

Yvonne says they receive frequent and 

consistently positive feedback from customers 

about the pharmacy’s gift selection. These include: 

“I always buy my gifts from here.” 

“Friendly, helpful staff and they try to reorder in 

specific gifts when they can” 

“It’s the best pharmacy in Christchurch.” 

The pharmacy provides a free gift-wrapping 

service with quality paper and ribbon. This is 

available for all gift purchases, no matter what 

they cost.

Maori playground for school 


A NEW playground designed 

around pre-European Maori 

huts is being planned for St 

Albans School. 

The playground, which will 

cost about $250 000, will be 

based around a central hut-like 

structure, 

leading out 

to multiple 

islands, with 

a reference to 

the marshes 

the city is 

built on. 

The main 

Ginnie Warren 

play space for 

the school was 

damaged in the earthquakes and 

has mostly been demolished, 

which sparked fundraising for 

the new playground. 

The school has raised $100,000 

from its parent teacher association, 

a further $100,000 from its 

board of trustees and it will now 

apply for $50-$70,000 to fund 

the rest of the project. 

St Albans School has the 

oldest Maori bilingual unit 

in Canterbury and principal 

Ginnie Warren said it is 

important the school celebrates 

its unique cultural values. 

“It is important to us that we 

weave that cultural narrative 

EXPERT: Play consultant Tina Dyer (centre) worked with 

St Albans School pupils Clark (left), Sabrina and Charlie to 

brainstorm ideas for the new school playground. 

through our playground design, 

and it is fantastic to see how our 

designer is already bringing that 

to life in the concept drawings,” 

Mrs Warren said. 

Playground designer Adrian 

Taylor, who is a landscape architect 

and parent of the school said 

designing playgrounds is one 

of the most fun and rewarding 

parts of his work. 

“I love the concept of kids 

learning through play, so when 

I saw the opportunity to be involved 

in the playground project 

at my daughter’s school I jumped 

at the chance,” Mr Taylor said. 

The school held a workshop 

for parents and students to meet 

with play consultant Tina Dyer 

on October 31, to help with the 

design. 

Said Mr Taylor of the workshop: 

“This workshop has 

provided us with some gems 

of ideas that will really help to 

shape the detailed design stage, 

which we are moving onto next.” 

Ms Dyer said because people 

know more about the importance 

of play in learning, she is 

able to help design play spaces 

which encourage children to 

develop their creativity, cooperation 

and social skills. 

She said having the pupils 

involved in the design process 

is the best way to make sure 

the play space will be used, and 

a good way to come up with 

unique designs that many adults 

would probably never think of. 

“I always get blown away 

by the gems the kids come up 

with,” she said. 

Overhaul for 

Armitage Reserve 

BISHOPDALE’S Armitage 

Reserve playground has come to 

the end of its lifespan and will get 

a major overhaul. 

The city council is asking 

the public for feedback on the 

equipment chosen for the new 

playground. 

But as well as undergoing a 

revamp, the playground will be 

moved due to it currently being 

located under power pylons. 

This also means the playground 

is closer to the street to improve 

access and is further away from 

the nearby houses to limit noise. 

All of the existing equipment will 

be removed and replaced with 

new modern equipment. 

The smaller area available for 

the playground (away from the 

pylons) will mean there will be 

less equipment. 

Once consultation has closed 

city council staff will make 

a recommendation to the 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board. 

Annandale playground in Ilam 

will also undergo a revamp.

the proposed plans, visit

highlights 

Dux 

PETER BRYANT MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP is 

awarded to the Dux of the school Ethan Ng 

This is an annual award, established by 

the Board of Trustees, to acknowledge the 

outstanding contribution to Burnside High 

School of the late Dr Peter Bryant, in his role 

as the Chairperson of the Board of Trustees. 

When Ethan joined us in Year 12, his previous 

school provided a thorough record of all of 

his achievements while he was a student 

there. This was a star studded resume 

including massive academic accolades and 

top prizes in everything from Cantamath to 

Mathmatical Olympiad’s with first place and 

distinction awards aplenty. 

It also included medals and distinction 

awards for Australian Mathematics, Digital 

Technology, Science, English and Spelling. 

The school described Ethan as “highly 

articulate and with a hunger for learning that 

drives an insatiable quest for knowledge”. 

They also describe him as having an 

“infectious giggle” which is confirmed by 

our staff and students as they report to me 

that he is “just a nice guy to hang out with” 

“and that he has a warm sense of humour”. 

At all levels of his schooling he has worked 

far beyond the expected curriculum level, 

demonstrating astounding ability to absorb 

new information. 

Earlier this year, Ethan was named New 

Zealand’s Top School Mathematician - 

being described as a “once in a generation 

mathematician”, likely due to the fact that he 

will only turn 15 next week, and the school he 

came to us from two years ago was Merrin 

School. 

The 47 NCEA credits he has earned this year 

are exclusively at Excellence level and he is 

entered for no less than seven Scholarship 

exams on top of his other SIX subjects. 

At graduation Ethan collected awards 

including First Place in Chemistry, Accounting 

and Economics and Excellence Awards for 

Calculus, Physics and Statistics. 

We wish Ethan well for his examinations and 

future endeavours as he aims for selection 

in the New Zealand Olympiad Mathematics 

team before beginning a double degree in 

Mathematics and Mechatronics Engineering 

at the University of Canterbury. 

Proxime Accessit Award 2019 

Felix Backhouse 

When Felix came to Burnside High School, the enrolment notes supplied, 

described him as a highly capable, quiet and studious person, and that an 

advanced Mathematics programme would be advised. He was very serious and 

focussed on his academic work from the outset and his love of learning was a 

common observation by all his teachers at both Westburn and his early years 

at Burnside High School. While Music has been a passion for him throughout 

his time at Burnside High School earning him countless awards, his academic 

dominance has seen him earn top placings in every subject he has studied since 

2015, including the General Excellence Award for West Division last year. 

He puts his success down to not much more than just doing the work and keeping up with 

things, however his teachers have described him as incredibly thoughtful and analytical – deep thinking and 

with a wry sense of humour – he is the one they need to watch when they make a mistake because he WILL 

pick up on it. 

His Cambridge and NCEA results earned make for impressive reading. In NCEA, he has amassed 257 credits at 

Excellence Level, with few lower grades and he enters his exams with a clean sweep of 34 Excellence credits 

at level three behind him. He also will tackle Scholarship examinations in FIVE subjects this year. 

Felix was offered a $20 000 Top Achievers Scholarship to Auckland University in 2020, however his intention 

is to study at University of Canterbury and he has secured Emerging Leaders and High Achievers Scholarships 

to go there. 

We wish Felix well as he embarks on his very impressive and exciting future. 

Musician of the year 

The winner of the Peter Rowe Cup for Musicianship is Felix Backhouse 

Felix is an outstanding all-round musician who has contributed at the highest 

level to every facet of the music department in his five years at Burnside High 

School. 

He came through the Specialist Music Programme at Westburn School and 

started Burnside as a very good violinist who also played trombone. He leaves 

as an outstanding trombonist who may still play a bit of violin! 

Felix has been a member of Malestrom for five years, experiencing every 

competition success they have achieved. He has been a member of the Symphonic 

Band and the lead trombonist for the Big Band for five years; during which time he has 

won countless awards, including Best Trombonist at the Manawatu and NZSM Jazz Festivals 

in 2018 and Best Overall Musician. 

He has been a member of the award winning Funk Band for five years and the Burnside Orchestra for five 

years, four as section leader. Felix has been selected for membership of the New Zealand Secondary Schools’ 

Symphony Orchestra and the New Zealand Youth Jazz Orchestra and has experienced success in the NZCT 

Chamber Music Contest. 

Sportsman of the Year 

Sang-Yong Park 

Sang-Yong won his third NZSS Table Tennis Teams title at the NZ Secondary 

Schools Championships, and also placed 2nd in the U19 Individual singles at this 

tournament. At the South Island Championships he placed 1st in U18 Boys singles, 

U18 Boys doubles and U18 Mixed doubles and 2nd in the Mens Open singles. 

Internationally he competed at the ITTF Oceania Junior Championships in Tonga, 

claiming Silver in the Boys Team and Bronze in Boys Doubles. In the recent ITTF- 

Oceania NZ Open Championships, he could only compete in two events due to a 

back injury, but gained a gold medal in the U18 mixed doubles and a silver in the 

U21 mixed doubles. He has recently been awarded the 2019 Junior Player of the 

Year Cup, from Table Tennis NZ. He is also a Table Tennis Coach of junior players. 

Sportswoman of the Year 

Ellena Firth 

Ellena captained our Canterbury Secondary Schools’ Champion Burnside High 

School Girls Football 1st XI team this year. Ellena plays for Canterbury United 

Pride which were National League winners, and for Coastal Spirit Premier 

Womens - the team who were runners-up in the NZ Cup. Ellena was named in 

the U19 NZ Secondary Schools team, and selected for their tour to America. 

She also plays Cricket for Burnside High and the St Albans Cricket Club and 

made the Canterbury U18 Girls Cricket team this year.

Commuter bus plan 

to lower traffic volumes 


PROPOSED commuter 

buses from the Waimakariri 

District could help to lower 

the number of vehicles set to 

travel through St Albans when 

the Christchurch Northern 

Corridor opens next year. 

The buses will utilise a carpool 

lane from the Waimakariri on the 

Christchurch Northern Corridor. 

The motorway extension will 

increase the number of vehicles 

which will travel on Cranford 

St to the central city, through St 

Albans. 

Traffic volumes on Cranford 

St are expected to increase from 

21,000 vehicles per day to 48,000 

each day within five years. 

St Albans resident Mark Wilson, 

who has been advocating 

for the mitigation effects of the 

motorway in St Albans said the 

proposed commuter buses is a 

step in the right direction. 

Said Mr Wilson: “It’s the right 

direction, that’s what we’ve been 

screaming and shouting about 

for months. But the real question 

is, how does the Waimakariri 

District Council and ECan make 

the buses enticing? 

“It’s all about the city council, 

PROPOSED: Environment Canterbury is consulting with 

residents in the Waimakariri District over a possible commuter 

bus lane which could help to mitigate the effects of the 

Christchurch Northern Corridor. 

PHOTO: NEWSLINE 

ECan and the Waimakariri 

District Council being brave and 

actually making decisions for 

the future,” he said. 

But if the commuter bus plan 

is implemented, it would require 

additional targeted public 

transport rates from those in the 

Waimakariri to pay for it. 

Environment Canterbury, 

Waimakariri District Council 

and NZ Transport Agency will 

consult with the Waimakariri

which would also see park and 

ride facilities in Rangiora and 

Kaiapoi. 

Said ECan senior manager 

for public transport Stewart 

Gibbon: “To provide a direct 

commuter service from both 

Rangiora and Kaiapoi would 

require additional Waimakariri 

targeted public transport 

rates, beyond what is currently 

rated for. We need to know if 

the community supports the 

concept and agrees that partly 

funding the proposed service via 

rates is a good idea.”

Ms Anderson and Fendalton 

resident Ashley Seaford were set 

to meet with the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community 

Board at its meeting which was 

scheduled yesterday in a bid to 

get the board’s backing and 

support in attending the public 

hearing. 

No date has been set for the 

public hearing yet, but it is likely 

it will be held early next year. 

Ms Anderson, who has lived in 

Fendalton for 27 years, did not 

believe the community would be 

interested in compromising with 

the applicants. 

“We don’t want or need it in the 

community,” she said.

“I think [the person in favour

Anderson said. 

A series of reports will be completed 

by the police, the medical 

officer of health and an inspector

liquor store. 

The file will then be referred to 

the district licensing committee, 

and a hearing will be held, which 

members of the public will be 

able to attend and make verbal 

submissions.

Library 

wall mural 

PLANS FOR a mural in 

Mairehau are finally under way 

about a year after a resident 

floated the idea. 

Earlier this year, the Papanui- 

Innes Community Board 

secured $1000 to go towards the 

cost of a mural on the back of 

the Mairehau Library. 

Now a competition is under 

way to find a colourful design to 

brighten the grey brick wall on 

the rear of the library. 

People over five-years-old have 

been invited to create an A3 plan 

for a bright mural to decorate 

the wall on the Patrick St side of 

the library. 

Mairehau Library staff may 

use more than one design in the 

final mural, and artwork must 

be an original piece. 

Any medium is acceptable for 

the designs, including pastel, 

ink, acrylic, crayon or digital 

designs. 

Send your designs to the 

Mairehau Library by December 

16 to be in the running to have it 

displayed on the wall. 

Eco-friendly transport use on the rise 

PEOPLE ARE using their cars less 

and walking, biking or scooting 

more, a survey has found. 

The life in Christchurch 

transport survey findings show 

while travel by car is still the 

most popular mode of transport 

in the city, there has been an 

increase in the use of alternative 

ways to get around. 

The survey questioned about 

3500 Christchurch residents 

about their travel habits and the 

city’s transport network. 

Said city council monitoring 

and research team leader Kath 

Jamieson: “The proportion of 

people who say they are using 

their car less now compared to 

12 months ago is 27 per cent – 

up from 19 per cent in 2018.” 

More than 40 per cent of 

respondents said they cycle more 

often now than they did a year 

ago while 21 per cent say they 

walk more often. 

Ms Jamieson said the arrival 

of electric scooters in Christchurch 

has also impacted the way 

people move around the city. 

“Nineteen per cent of 

survey participants reported 

that they have used a rental e- 

scooter more than once a month 

in the past 12 months, while 

two per cent of those surveyed 

said they own their own e-scooter 

so it has become a popular 

alternative form of transport,’’ 

ECO-FRIENDLY: The life in Christchurch transport survey has found more people are opting to 

cycle, walk and scooter around the city. 

Ms Jamieson said. 

The number of people using 

public transport has risen from 

29 per cent in 2018, to 32 per 

cent this year. 

Ms Jamieson said the survey 

showed the condition of roads 

and footpaths are continuing to 

trouble people. 

“Fifty-one per cent of the people 

surveyed said they were dissatisfied 

or very dissatisfied with 

the condition of Christchurch’s 

roads. Ongoing patch repairs to 

road, potholes and uneven road 

surfaces are the main reasons 

people gave for their dissatisfaction,’’ 

Ms Jamieson said. 

The city council recently 

revealed an investment case that 


seeks $25-30 million funding to 

improve the safety and condition 

on more than 100 roads in 

suburban areas of the city. 

The areas proposed for 

roading upgrades are New 

Brighton, Richmond, Linwood, 

Woolston, Spreydon, Somerfield, 

Waltham, Beckenham and 

Riccarton.

HISTORY: 

St Andrew’s 

College will 

play in the 

Gillette Cup 

national 

tournament 

for the first 

time next 

month. 

St Andrew’s finally crack 

Gillette Cup competition 

• By Gordon Findlater 

FOR ST Andrew’s College first 

XI coach Mike Johnston, 18 

years of coming agonisingly 

close was worth the wait 

when his side qualified for 

the Gillette Cup for the 

first time. 

When St Andrew’s 

defeated Christ’s College 

by 186 runs in the 

Gillette Cup Canterbury 

regional qualifying final 

at Mainpower Oval in 

Rangiora they created 

history. 

St Andrew’s have never 

qualified for the national 

tournament, which has been the 

Mike 

Johnston 

pinnacle of secondary school 

cricket since it was established 

in 1990. 

“It’s taken a long time. I’ve 

been to a lot of finals before, 

but to finally crack it is 

awesome,” said Johnston. 

The final against 

Christ’s was the sixth 

Johnston has been 

involved in while 

coaching the team. Many 

have gone right down 

to the wire and one of 

the most heart-breaking 

losses even resulted in a 

draw. 

That loss came in 2008 

when the St Andrew’s team, 

containing Black Cap Henry 

Nicholls, Wellington allrounder 

Logan van Beek and 

Auckland pace bowler Matt 

McEwan, lost in a bowl off to St 

Bede’s College which featured 

Matt Henry. The Gillette Cup 

tournament will take place at 

Lincoln University and Hagley 

Oval from December 1-6. St 

Andrew’s will play the winners 

of the regional qualifying 

tournaments in Otago, Central 

Districts, Wellington, Auckland 

and Northern Districts. 

“Now we’ve got there our aim 

is to perform really well and 

hopefully we can win it because 

we’ve got a very well balanced 

side,” said Johnston.

New Zealand Young Shakespeare 

Company. 

The Rangi Ruru year 13 student

Cashmere High School’s Jorja 

Farrant and Michael Higgs, as 

well as Catholic Cathedral’s 

Lucy Sparks, will be among the 

24 secondary school students 

to head to the United Kingdom

The students will attend workshops 

at Shakespeares’ Globe 

in London, have question and 

answer sessions with actors and 

directors, and go on behind-thescenes 

tours of the globe in their 

two weeks in London. 

Sarah and the other young actors 

will watch professional performances 

and attend rehearsals 

with a globe director, before 

performing scenes from one of 

Shakespeare’s plays on the globe 

stage in front of an audience. 

They will also spend a week in 

Stratford-upon-Avon, the village 

where Shakespeare was born. 

Sarah was selected for the trip

Living together 

with a hearing loss 

Living with an unaided hearing loss is 

basically no fun at all: It’s upsetting for 

the person with a hearing loss, but it’s also 

frustrating for you as a relative, whether 

you are a spouse, daughter, grandchild, 

friend or colleague – it affects all of you. 

For you as a relative living or being close 

to someone with a hearing loss you have 

most probably experienced: 

• You have to behave as a translator or a 

buffer. 

• Your loved ones’ social life declines 

because going out can be exhausting for 

both of you. 

• You sometimes feel as if you are slowly 

losing your partner, parent or friend to 

isolation. 

5 Tips to talk about hearing 

1. Express care and support. Talk from 

your heart with deep compassion and let 

them know they have your full support. 

2. Guide them through their journey. 

Help your loved one discover their 

hearing loss – they might not fully 

comprehend the extent of it, and neither 

do you.

TALENTED: The Christchurch Girls’ High School sevens team will be contenders 

at the Condor Sevens tournament from from November 28 to December 1. 

CGHS aim to impress 

at Condor Sevens 

• By Jacob Page 

THE Christchurch Girls’ 

High School sevens team 

will look to earn a medal 

at the Condor Sevens later 

this month in Auckland. 

The South Island 

secondary school 

champions will head to 

the tournament at Kings 

College on November 28 as 

one of the favourites after 

finishing second in 2017 

and third last year. 

The team won the 

Canterbury qualifiers a 

fortnight ago and will look 

to impress against strong 

North Island opposition. 

Coach Jamie Livingstone 

has been with the team 

for the past five years and 

they have not finished 

FOR RANGI Ruru Girls’ 

School twins Maddy and 

Georgia Sheat, touch used 

to be a social sport they 

played at the Nunweek 

Touch competition. 

Seven years on, the pair 

are now set to debut for 

New Zealand at the 2020 

youth transtasman test 

series in Newcastle. 

Maddy said their 

involvement in the sport 

continued “because 

of how cool the touch 

environment is compared 

to other sports.” 

She will join a six-team 

contingent to take on the 

Australian Emus in a best 

of three match series in 

January. 

The pair have differing 

strengths on the touch 

field. Georgia is more of a 

rucking player who loves 

yards, while Maddy is the 

better passer who plays a 

more supportive role on 

lower than sixth under his 

guidance. He said the team 

are motivated to maintain 

their high standards. 

“I feel we have a good 

mix of power and speed 

and we try to attack using 

both of those,” he said. 

“The girls are very driven 

and set their own goals 

and want to get out of their 

pool and then see what 

happens once they make 

the top eight.” 

Livingstone said 

traditionally the team have 

struggled on day one of 

the tournament and it was 

something he was eager to 

rectify. 

“We get up there and we 

always start very slow. 

“We don’t play a game 

the field. However, they 

will be playing for different 

in the three weeks leading 

into the tournament and 

that really affects us. 

“We gained a lot of 

confidence from the South 

Islands win three weeks 

ago and so hopefully that 

carries through to this 

tournament.” 

Livingstone said he 

was lucky to have a squad 

which was committed to 

the sport. 

“We know the 

competition in Auckland 

will be much tougher 

than what we are used to 

seeing down here, but we 

think we can match it with 

anyone on our day.” 

•The tournament will 

run from November 28 

to December 1.

While the Australians 

are the current youth 

world champions, the Kiwi 

teams will be looking to 

display enough moments 

of brilliance to turn the 

tide. 

Said Maddy: “I’m 

looking forward to the 

challenge the games and 

heat will bring and getting 

to play with an exceptional 

bunch of girls from around 

the country.” 

The twins will join 

four other sibling duos 

representing New Zealand 

at the competition. 

Said Georgia: “Growing 

up we have done most 

things together, both on 

and off the sports field, so 

it’s pretty exciting to add 

this to the list.”

Tasty Bites 

How to make a cake taste as good as it looks 

There is not much better 

than a cup of tea or 

coffee and a slice of cake, 

especially when it almost 

looks too good to eat. Here’s 

one you can easily decorate 

yourself 

Morning Magpie’s carrot 

cake 

For the cake 

2 free-range eggs and 2 freerange 

egg yolks 

4 free range egg whites 

320g flour 

1 tsp baking powder 

1 tsp baking soda 

2 tsp cinnamon 

2 tsp ground cloves 

400g neutral-tasting oil such as 

sunflower or canola 

540g white sugar 

100g chopped walnuts 

100g desiccated coconut 

270g peeled and grated carrot 

(about two carrots) 

For the icing 

525g cream cheese 

210g softened (to room 

temperature) butter 

105g icing sugar 

75g honey 

fresh thyme 

Directions 

Cake 

Separate the eggs (six in total). 

Put the whole eggs and yolks 

in one bowl, and the whites in 

another large, clean and dry 

metal bowl. 

You will be left with two 

spare egg yolks (with a little 

imagination you can find a way 

to put them to good use in some 

other noble kitchen endeavour). 

Add a pinch of salt to the egg 

whites and, with an electric 

beater, whisk until they form 

stiff white peaks (the salt helps to 

stabilise them). Set aside. 

In a large bowl, beat the 

sugar and oil on high for 2min. 

Add the whole eggs and egg 

yolks, continuing to mix until 

incorporated. 

Use a rubber spatula to mix the 

walnuts, coconut, and carrot into 

the creamed oil and eggs. 

Sift the flour, baking powder 

and soda, and spices into the wet 

mix, and delicately fold through. 

Fold one-third of the whipped 

egg whites into the rest of the 

batter, followed by the rest of 

them. Don’t worry if there are a 

few streaks of white left – this is 

far preferable to over-mixing the 

cake batter. 

Divide the 

batter between 

two greased 

round silicon cake 

moulds. Make sure 

to weigh as you 

are filling them, 

so that the two 

rounds end up 

evenly sized. 

Bake in the 

centre of the oven 

for 40min at 160 

deg C. 

After baking, 

let the cake cool 

completely in the 

moulds (at least 

four hours). 

If you are 

leaving it overnight 

before icing – this 

is a good idea – 

wrap the rounds 

in cling film 

once cooled and removed from 

moulds. 

Assembly and decoration 

Make sure all ingredients are at 

room temperature, and also clear 

a shelf in your fridge that a large 

chopping board will fit on. 

In a large bowl, beat the 

cream cheese on high for about 

4min, until it takes on a silky 

consistency. Beat in the butter. 

Add the icing sugar and honey, 

and reduce the beater to a lower 

speed until they are fully mixed 

through. Then your icing is 

ready. 

If the cake rose into a dome 

shape while baking, remove the 

rounded top with a bread knife 

to make sure both rounds are 

level. 

Place one cake round on a 

large chopping board, and spread 

a 1cm thick layer of icing on top 

of it. Stack the other round on 

it, making sure the two are well 

aligned. Don’t worry if some of 

the filling comes out the sides. 

Use an offset spatula to spread 

a thin layer of icing over the top 

and sides of the assembled cake. 

It doesn’t matter if you can see 

the cake through this layer. Once 

it is covered, place the cake in the 

fridge for one hour. When this 

first layer of icing sets, it prevents 

any dark cake crumbs getting 

mixed up in the final layer of 

white icing. 

Once the first layer is set, 

remove the cake from the fridge 

and apply the rest of the icing as 

you see fit. You can put a thick 

layer on the top and a scant layer 

around the sides, but this is just 

a matter of taste – you should 

experiment and find a style you 

like. Chill the cake for another 

hour before cutting. Garnish 

with fresh thyme leaves and flaky 

sea salt. Use a hot bread knife to 

cut the cake, cleaning it between 

each slice.

Summerset at Wigram serviced apartment resident, Alma with daughter Maree

Alma to stay active and thrive

“ Since Mum’s been here, 

she’s just blossomed” 

From growing up in a big family in Christchurch to being happily married for 63 years, Alma’s had 

plenty of company throughout her whole life. 

So, when the option to move to a Summerset serviced apartment came up, Alma and daughter 

Maree were naturally a little nervous it might be a bit on the quiet side for her. But, since the move, 

they’ve discovered it’s been anything but quiet. 

“I don’t think you’d ever need to feel lonely here. It’s just like a big family and there’s always 

something going on,” remarks Alma. 

When she first arrived at her serviced apartment, Alma had her husband by her side. Sadly, he 

passed away shortly after due to on-going health issues. “I thought it might take her a little while to 

deal with the loss of dad and… the new surroundings, but it was quite amazing really how quickly 

she settled, and I think that was down to the staff,” recalls daughter Maree. 

Alma with Maree as a toddler 

While the move was a big decision, the whole family feel that Alma has “blossomed” since and 

has become more herself again. 

“ She’s involved herself in things that she hadn’t done for years, Choir. Exercising. 

She’s just taken it with both hands, made friends and it’s all been just amazing.” 

Maree and Alma both admit that the stigma of retirement living put them off for longer than it 

needed to. “I think mum was just so delighted when she came here and realised how welcoming 

and how well-run [the place was] and what care was here for her. I think it was an eye-opener, really.” 

Having Alma living at home with her would have been a dream for Maree, but with the reality of 

working all day, she worried her mum would be very bored. But Alma hasn’t had time for boredom 

at all since moving to Summerset. “There’s so much to keep you occupied. Music. Happy Hour, little 

outings. It’s a lovely place to be.” 

Alma also fills her time with a cheeky bit of cleaning, even though she doesn’t need to lift a finger. 

“I don’t think she leaves a lot for the staff to clean, but that’s mum,” laughs Maree. 

“It’s a relief for us to know that she’s taken care of. Dad would be so pleased to see she’s in a 

place like this. It’s just been a godsend.”
