TRIUMPHANT: St Andrew’s College’s first XI celebrate the school’s first ever Gillette Cup title.
• By Gordon Findlater
ST ANDREW’S College made
history at Hagley Park last
week by winning the country’s
top prize in secondary school
cricket for the first time.
Playing Hamilton Boys’ High
School in the final round top
of the table Gillette Cup clash,
the St Andrew’s first XI carded
a 174-run victory to claim the
piece of silverware for the first
time in its 29-year history. This
year is also the first time St Andrew’s
had qualified for the six
strong national tournament after
winning their way through
the Canterbury regional qualifiers
which has been dominated
by Christchurch Boys’ High
School in recent years.
“It’s bigger than all of us in
the team, knowing that a lot of
old boys that have been texting
in support is great. It’s huge for
the school,” said St Andrew’s

captured the win was extra

Mike Johnston, who has been
with the first XI for close to two
decades.

MAYOR LIANNE Dalziel has
labelled the expansion of Merivale
Mall as “absolutely nuts.”
Speaking at what was a packed
house at former Mayor Garry
Moore’s weekly Tuesday Club, Ms
Dalziel fielded questions from the
audience after delivering
a speech.
A member of
the audience labelled
the expansion
as “absolutely
stupid.”
Ms Dalziel responded
by stating “it’s absolutely
nuts” but went on to clarify the
city council’s hands were tied in
the decision to grant the mall resource
consent for the expansion
without public consultation.
“It is so frustrating when people
assume that you can make decisions
because you think they are
the right decision to make, but
under planning law you will just
be appealed to the environment
court and the environment court
will settle it anyway.

Reg’s Royal cooking buddy
• By Sophie Cornish
REG STEDMAN is usually lively
and full of jokes – but the 92-yearold
was left speechless when he was
joined by a special sous chef during
his cooking class.
The Duchess of Cornwall visited
the cooking course Mr Stedman
was on during her visit with Prince
Charles to Christchurch.
Everyone on the course had
been vetted by police prior to the
visit, so he knew Camilla would
be there.
But Mr Stedman, from Papanui,
was a little more than
surprised when he was placed
next to Camilla as they prepared
a bean salad.
Mr Stedman, who hails from
Essex in England, and came to
New Zealand in 1958 to marry
his pen pal, was lost for words
standing next to Camilla.
“Backward in coming forward,”
he said.
“It never dawned on me, I was
surprised, I thought ‘what have I
done to deserve this?
“I’m quite a retiring person, it
wouldn’t have bothered me if I
had been standing behind two or
three people.”
Mr Stedman shook Camilla’s
hand and spoke with her about
her farm in Gloucestershire, and
whether the food was organic.
“In hindsight, I realised all eyes
were probably on me because I
was with the knife!,” he said of
the security staff which follow
the Royals.
After the cooking demonstration
at the Salvation Army building in
the central city, Camilla helped
to launch the new Senior Chef
cookbook, Easy Recipes for One
or Two.
Senior Chef, is a free programme
for older people living
alone or with one other person
and is funded by the Canterbury
District Health Board and
Pegasus Health.
It has a focus on connecting
the community, combating loneliness
and providing a new sense
of purpose.
Active ageing is a key focus of
Camilla’s work, who said she was
“delighted” to be at the event,
during their six-day visit of New
Zealand.
“It’s a real pleasure to be for
once surrounded by people my
age. I’m feeling a lot better and
I’m so impressed by everything
you’re doing here.
“I do think it is so important as
you grow older to be able to cook.
MASTERCHEF: Reg Stedman was lost for words when the Duchess of Cornwall appeared beside
him at his cooking class.
PHOTO PEGASUS HEALTH
This school will re-energise older
people to like cooking again, and
eating good food for your body
and your mind is vitally important
as you get older,” she said.
• GO ALONG: The Senior Chef programme is free and runs
classes through-out the city and in Rangiora, Kaiapoi, Lincoln,
Ashburton and Kaikoura. Contact Pegasus Health for more
information.

Rangi Ruru students’
cookbook launch a success
• By Bea Gooding
A YEAR of hard work has paid
off for a group of Rangi Ruru
Girls’ School entrepreneurs after
last week’s successful launch
of their unique cookbook -
“Spoonful of Spice.”
Year 13 students Lucy Johnson,
Tulsi Lathia, Sarah Lawrence,
Victoria Park and photographer
Mette Van Pallandt made sure
their project was more than just a
cookbook.
The 100-page spread dished
up recipes, stories and “nuggets
of wisdom” from migrants and
refugees in Christchurch.
Spoonful of Spice head of production
Victoria Park felt proud
because the cookbook was not
for the benefit of the team, but for
the benefit of the community.
“It feels great to be doing something
that will also be helping
others as well,” she said.
The last two years saw the
team involved with The Lion
Foundation Young Enterprise
programme, where the venture
was presented to a panel of business
experts and the idea came to
fruition.
City councillor Anne Galloway,
also involved in the project, was
present at the launch, sharing

how food “evokes memories of
old” - just like her grandmother’s
steamed pudding.
Said Cr Galloway: “One day
we talked about how wonderful
it was bringing different cultures
and food together - and the idea
was born.”
Head of finance Tulsi Lathia
said the team learned a great deal
from the immigrant women they
collaborated with.
“What I’ve learned is they’re
always determined to do something
positive and share what
they know in the community,”
she said.
Spoonful of Spice is now available
for purchase at Rangi Ruru
and on their website. All proceeds
will go to Immigrant Resettlement
Services in Christchurch.
TREEmendous
start to 2020
NOR’WEST NEWS
THE NEXT school year is
already looking like it will be
off to a TREEmendous start for
Burnside Primary School which
will be getting new outdoor
learning spaces in the new year.
TREEmendous – a joint initiative
between Project Crimson
and the Mazda Foundation has
selected four schools across the
country including Burnside
to receive $10,000 towards
bringing their outdoor learning
dreams to life.
The school was selected alongside
Hobsonville Point Primary
School, Roslyn School and Stanhope
Road School to transform
an unused area of their school
grounds into an outdoor learning
area through the planting of
native trees and shrubs.
Six finalists also received $500
towards their projects.
The TREEmendous team will
help each school develop an area
that encourages a deeper connection
with nature and the chance
to learn first-hand about the environment
in an outdoor setting.

Principal Matt Bateman said
Burnside aims to create pupils
that are successful in a changing
world with the challenges
that they will face with climate
change.
“Pupils need to respect their
environment and be the instruments
for change. To do this,
they need a place where they
feel connected with the environment,
which is why it is so important
to have outdoor learning
spaces in schools,” he says.

Judicial review in August
• From page 1
“If the law says you don’t notify
then there is no ability to listen to
the community and neighbours,”
she said.
This comes as a date for the judicial
review over the expansion,
which was launched by Merivale
residents, has been confirmed for
August 31.
Merivale resident and former
barrister John Burn, who is
spearheading the review alongside
Aikmans Bar and Restaurant
owner Frank van Schaijik, did
not share the Mayor’s perspective
on the matter.
“The Mayor has indicated that
the legislation gave the commissioner
little choice, but had he
accepted that a significant effect
on traffic was likely, he and the
council would have been obliged
by that legislation to hear public
opposition,” he said.
Mr Burn felt the public deserved
input into the proposal.
A city council hearings panel led
by commissioner Ken Gimblett
concluded there would be no
adverse effects on the community,
and the expansion would have
“negligible” impact on Papanui
Rd traffic volumes. City council
head of resource consents John
Higgins said the panel appreciated

the public concerns but was bound
by the statutory process under the
Resource Management Act.
The mall’s owner, TEL Property
Nominees Ltd, was granted
a resource consent from the city
council, without any public consultation,
in August to almost double
the size of the mall, build a threelevel
car park and 24 homes.
If the judge finds the decision to
grant the resource consent without
public consultation to be unjust,
they will ask the city council to
reconsider their decision.

Cycling for grandad
• By Matt Slaughter
WILLIAM HICKFORD’S
grandad Roy Pemberton cycled
the length of New Zealand to
raise money for St John New
Zealand seven years ago.
Now, William will do the same
to raise money for people like Mr
Pemberton, who was diagnosed
with dementia earlier this year.
The year 13 Cashmere High
School student will be joined by
his friend since childhood, fellow
Cashmere student Holly Ffowcs
Williams on the South Island leg
of the ride.
They have started a Givealittle
page aiming to raise $10,000 for
Alzheimer’s New Zealand and
are calling themselves Team
Wolly.
Said William: “Since he [Mr
Pemberton] got diagnosed with
dementia this year, I thought I
just wanted to help support him
and what our family’s going
through because it’s quite a tough
time so I just wanted to give
back to him by raising funds for
Alzheimers New Zealand.”
William will start his ride at
Cape Reinga on December 28
and bike about 100km a day until
January 23, when he estimates
he will finish the about 3000km
journey to the bottom of the
South Island.
NUMBER ONE
Holly will meet William on
January 8 in Picton and they will
ride to the finish line together.
Holly said she was inspired
to join William on part of his
journey after seeing the effects of
Alzheimer’s and dementia firsthand
in a volunteer role she does.
“In the past few years, I’ve been
a volunteer at a Nurse Maude
Hospice Shop in Christchurch
and we get a lot of customers who
are from lots of different retirement
villages across Christchurch
and a few have come in with
family members that have had
dementia and Alzheimer’s, so it’s
just been really heartbreaking to
see, she said.
“I think putting my love
cycling towards something like
this, it’s the way I can [help].”
Holly said the ride will be hard
work but the cause she and William
are riding for will make it
worth it.
“The most of done in one day
has been about 112km and some
days we’re doing at least 100km
with a good radical climb, so it’s
going to be really mentally challenging
but I think you’ve got to
remember why you’re doing it.”
William said his grandad and
granny Hilda Pemberton are
appreciative of what he is setting
out to do.

A year in review
When I was a child the year used to drag
itself slowly through its 12-month cycle,
but now, so many decades later, it’s
practically breaking speed records! 2019
has been a strong year for highlights and
the challenges have felt ever-so-slightly
easier – or maybe I’m just finally learning
to adapt and modify my response to
continued stress.
It’s true, sometimes you’re so busy with
the mechanics of your occupation that the
opportunity to reflect on the bigger picture
doesn’t present itself, but it’s so worthwhile
when you do. So, where did I get it right? In
the interests of simplicity, I said ‘yes’ more
than ‘no’. ‘Yes’ to requests for help, especially
if they delivered on our desire to give back
or lift up those members of our community
who are vulnerable or in great need. ‘Yes’
was also the answer when asked if I’d speak
or present on personal or professional
topics including business culture, resilience,
consistent high performance and
mentoring. And some of the biggest ‘yeses’
went to incredible people who approached
us about the possibility of joining our
company in the search for a business
that provided inspiration in addition to a
rewarding career path.
I firmly believe this commitment to getting
good people on board, people that embrace
our culture and our values, is why we hold
the awards for No. 1 Residential Office
nationally and internationally for Harcourts
and No. 1 Franchise in New Zealand for earnings
per consultant. A firm ‘no’ (or two) also made
an appearance, however, when I met people
considering a real estate career while wanting
to avoid accountability, hosting open homes or
training – the list went on, unlike my tolerance! I
may be old-fashioned, but it will always be a ‘no’ if
you front up to an interview in jeans or arrive late,
under-prepared and over-entitled.
So, what else has stood out this year? An active,
even marketplace with interest rates at very
low levels making first-home owners feel more
optimistic than they have for a long time. More
and more legislation and an acceptance that
the AML (anti-money laundering) requirements
which began last year, whilst inconvenient at
times, are here to stay. Landlords have also had to
continue incorporating changes in the way their
rental properties are presented, maintained and
tenanted, and this looks unlikely to abate.
Professionally, we have also had the incredible
benefit of Chris Kennedy (formerly the CEO for
Harcourts NZ) joining us as General Manager.
To those of you that read my monthly column, I
wish you a Christmas that makes you feel happy
rather than stretched and stressed, and a 2020
full of promise.

Papanui pupils plant
natives for the future
Win for STAC
in schools’ top
• By Bea Gooding
ATTENTION: Landscaping Co-ordinator Justin Farrell from
GSL (Grounds and Services Ltd) instructs pupils from Papanui
Primary School how to plant the trees. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
TAKING ownership of the
environment was what motivated
Papanui Primary School students
to lend a hand in the planting
of native vegetation along the
Christchurch Northern Corridor
(CNC).
The planting took place at the
newly constructed Cranford St
roundabout over three days last
week, teaching the young helpers
the importance of maintaining
their environment.
More than 60 students between
five and ten-years-old participated,
planting native seeds sourced
locally such as Kowhai trees.
The school’s principal Paul
Kingston said the children often
worked together in a buddy system
which developed a “positive
school culture.”
Mr Kingston believed more
young people should get involved
in taking care of local environments.
“There is only one earth - start
small with your own community
and your own actions,” he said.
The $240m motorway project
began construction in November
2016, aiming to reduce congestion
on routes flowing in and out
of Christchurch.
CNC Alliance engagement
manager Melanie Williams said
the planting on the CNC motorway
was a “big part” of the plan.
“The project won’t just be a ribbon
of asphalt through the landscape;
the concept is to create a
parkland corridor which softens
the edges of the new motorway,”
she said.
Ms Williams said the children
understood the positive impact
on the environment by planting
trees and were “really keen” to
help out.
“Along the corridor, we’ll be
planting 400 trees and 800,000
plants and shrubs. This will bring
native birds back into the area
and create more oxygen.”
Construction of the CNC
motorway is expected to be
completed halfway through
2020.

“It’s been an amazing journey
this year with these boys.
It’s been 18 years I’ve been
coaching St Andrew’s, it’s the
first time we’ve been here and
we’ve won it. We’ve just got a
great team culture and they’ve
worked for each other,” said
Johnston.
After being put into bat,
St Andrew’s opening pair of
Mariu and Harrison Darling
made a composed start before
picking up the run rate and
producing what turned out to
be a match-winning opening
stand of 142 before Mariu fell
for 89.
The solid foundation allowed
the team to reach 276/8 from
their 50 overs.
“We were really surprised
that Hamilton put us into bat
and Rhys [Mariu] and Harrison
[Darling] set the tone
this morning with some great
batting and we knew if we got
more than 250 it was going to
be too many for them to chase
down,” said Johnston.
St Andrew’s went about
defending their total by restricting
Hamilton Boys’ early
in their chase which resulted
in a required run rate of eight
an over by the 20th over. The
pressure eventually took its toll
resulting in Hamilton Boys’
being dismissed for 102 in the
35th over.
“We knew that is we set the
right fields and bowled to them
it was going to be really tough
for them,” said Mariu.
The St Andrew’s captain
capped off the great day by being
named as the player of the
tournament at the closing ceremony
after scoring 254 runs
at an average of 50.80 while
leading his side to their first
title. Alongside Mariu in the
tournament team where fellow
St Andrew’s players Jesse Frew,

Twenty years supporting
Bishopdale community
THE BISHOPDALE Community
Trust celebrated its anniversary
last week. Community
Development Worker Chris
Coles reflects on 20 years of
supporting the Bishopdale
Community.
The initial idea for the trust
was formed well before the date
of the anniversary- when the
trust was incorporated under
the Charitable Trusts Act on
December 2.
Eric Park, a member of the
local methodist parish, had
seen the work that was being
done by the Bryndwr Churches
Community Support Society and
decided to research the need in
Bishopdale for a similar group.
He visited local churches to
gauge their interest and support
and, with representatives of local
groups, the trust was founded.
Although Eric is no longer part
of the trust, many original trust

members are still actively involved
today.
The trust was set up to help
residents and families develop
skills for family and community
life, and to help people with
needs to be part of the community.
Over the past two decades,
it has successfully achieved these
aims, meeting the changing
needs of the community with an
impressive range of activities.
Looking back, BCT has run
courses on leadership, self-esteem
and confidence, parenting,
first aid, cooking and many more
helpful skills and activities.
It’s run family camps, garage
sales, antique shows, games and
has mentored, supported and
welcomed new residents to the
area.
The trust has been home to
groups interested in gardening,
craft, yoga, walking, and
games, as well as hosting regular
coffee mornings and community
lunches where folk can get
together, have a bite to eat and a
good old natter.
None of this would have been
possible without active involvement
and support from the wonderful
Bishopdale community.
Whilst usually employing a
small number of part-time staff,
a huge amount of work over the
years has been carried out by
volunteers. Currently BCT has
over sixty volunteers; people who
care enough to freely give their
time to make Bishopdale a better
place to live, work and play.
Here’s to the next twenty years.
Roadworks cause
restaurant closure
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A BANGLADESHI restaurant
has become a casualty of the
ongoing Riccarton Rd roadworks.
Nobanno manager Christopher
Palma said the roadworks
were the “last straw”.
The site near the intersection of
Clarence St and Straven Rd is its
third location in Christchurch in
12 years.
The restaurant first opened
on the corner of Armagh and
Colombo St in the central city
before it was destroyed in the
February, 2011, earthquake.
“We lost everything in the
earthquake,” Mr Palma said.
They then moved to Ferry Rd
in Ferrymead, but the business
suffered there too from roadworks.
“We have gone through loss
after loss, it is heartbreaking,” he
said.
The city council halting roadworks
on Riccarton Rd to help
businesses leading into Christmas
had come too late, he said.
“It is not enough because the
damage has been done,” Mr
Palma said.
The year of ongoing roadworks
NOR’WEST NEWS
had put the restaurant in debt,
he said.
Mr Palma is now job hunting.
Since February, Fulton Hogan
has been working on the
Harakeke to Matipo Sts section
of Riccarton Rd.
Dumplings on Riccarton
owner Peter Wah said it has
been a very “strenuous” past six
months.
On top of a family tragedy
which forced the business to
close temporaily, the roadworks
were also causing major issues
attracting customers.
“It has been quieter, it is very
hard to make up for all those
losses we will never catch up.
In any business, you need car
parks on the front,” Mr Wah
said.
But he had very loyal customers
who have helped in every way
they can.
They don’t plan to close.
He is concerned businesses
on Riccarton Rd will lose most
of its car parking following the
roadworks.
The city council said when
work is completed there will be
time-restricted parking provided
to the east of Rotherham St and
south of Riccarton Rd.
Our region of Canterbury can
boast easy access to many
wonderful recreational spaces
and as we head into the summer
holidays, this is a great way to
spend time with friends or family.
We love taking our dog down to
the Groynes, so I enjoyed being
invited as local MP to be a judge
at the opening of the new Kaiapoi
Dog Park. Dog parks provide
great opportunities for community
building and I’m thrilled we now
have another venue for our
residents to meet new friends and
connect to old ones.
My community constituent
clinics in the Papanui RSA are
proving popular, with great uptake
within the community. I enjoyed
meeting with Northern Christchurch
constituents in back-to-back
meetings last week. I’m here to
help, so if you or someone you
know needs help, please email
belfast@parliament.govt.nz .
Meeting with the White Ribbon
riders during their ride through
Canterbury to raise awareness
around domestic violence was
a great way to hear more about
this powerful initiative and the
life-changing work so many of our
fellow Cantabrians are undertaking
to prevent domestic violence
and mental-health issues in our
communities. Well done to all the
participants and everyone who
supported them.
From my family to yours, we
wish you a Merry Christmas and
a peaceful and healthy new year.
I’m looking forward to continuing to
work hard for you in 2020. I entered
my previous career in the mentalhealth
field because I wanted to
make a difference and politics
is a way of continuing to make
that difference. It’s through being
accessible to you and ensuring our
region has the infrastructure and
resources we need that I can be an
effective and relevant MP.

Young volleyballers thrive
on beach and court
• By Jacob Page
BURNSIDE HIGH School junior
girls volleyballers dominated on
both the sand and the court last
week.
Not only did their indoor volleyball
team win back-to-back
South Island titles but Rosa Vesty
and Taylah Holdem took out the
beach title as well.
The duo will head to Auckland
in February to represent their
school at the nationals, where
they finished fifth last year.
Teacher in charge of volleyball
Sam Ryburn said they had a
good chance of medalling this
year.
“Last year they made the quarter-finals
and lost to the eventual
winners so if they can improve
on that they should go close.”
He said both Rosa and Taylah
were key parts in the indoor success
having been named co-most
valuable players at the South
Island championships at Pioneer
Stadium.
Burnside took down Cashmere
High School 25-22, 25-9 in the
final.
Both teams had to overcame
an early loss in crossover pool
play to make the final.
Burnside suffered a loss to
Christchurch Girls’ High School,
while Cashmere High went
down to Richmond’s Waimea
College.
Ryburn said the team refocused
well after the loss and was
able to bounce-back.
SPORT
TALENT: Burnside High School junior volleyball team won the
South Island title for the second year in a row.
“They came at us and really
pushed us but sometimes you
need a loss like that in a tournament
just to get you on the right
track again.”
He said it was great the team
could win back-to-back Canterbury
and South Island titles which
was a first for the school.
BRIGHT FUTURES: Rosa
Vesty, left, and Taylah Holdem
capped a stellar week by
claiming the South Island junior
beach volleyball title at the
Pioneer Stadium Pit.
“We have a lot of depth in
volleyball at the school and a
supportive environment which
helps bring success at both a junior
and senior level over a number of
years,” he said.

Avonhead
Park
Cemetery
name
change
A CEMETERY remembering
those who lost their lives in the
February 22, 2011 earthquake
could be one step closer to
having its name changed.
The city council is seeking
feedback on whether the Avonhead
Park Cemetery should be
renamed the Avonhead Memorial
Cemetery.
It has gone out for consultation
following a request from the
Friends of Avonhead Cemetery
for the name change and this is
supported by the Quake Families
Trust.
The cemetery was developed
in the late 1970s as a lawn
cemetery without visible grave
markers to give the cemetery a
park-like appearance.
Following the February 22
2011 earthquake, the city council
designed an interment site for victims
at Avonhead Park Cemetery.
Feedback can be made to the
city council until January 22.

Young humanitarian wins
Fred Hollows award
• By Claire Booker
BEN DOWDLE has been
recognised in New Zealand’s
first-ever Fred Hollows Humanity
Awards.
The Mairehau Primary School
pupil was presented a certificate
last Friday at a school assembly.
The awards, which were open
to all Year 6 students throughout
New Zealand, are part of a global
movement created to acknowledge
passionate children striving to
improve the world around them.
A spokeswoman from the Fred
Hollows Foundation said humanity
in New Zealand’s young people
was “deeply evident” in the
large number of students across
the country who were nominated
for the awards.
Said assistant principal
Amanda Chisnall, who nominated
Ben for the award: “Ben is a
kind and caring student who goes
out of his way to help others. He
embodies our Mairehau Primary
School values of respect, believe,
aspire and achieve.
“Nothing is ever an issue for
Ben. He always puts in 110 per
cent effort into everything that
he sets his mind to. Ben truly embodies
the values of compassion,
integrity and kindness.”
YOUNG ACHIEVER:
Mairehau Primary
School assistant
principal Amanda
Chisnall was
pleased to see
Year 6 student Ben
Dowdle presented
with a Fred Hollows
Humanity Award by
William McGrath
from Specsavers.
About 70 students were nominated
for the awards across New
Zealand, and Ben said it was an
honour to receive the certificate.
He “felt special that not everyone
could be nominated” and is
looking to develop his leadership
skills within the school.
“It’s nice to receive awards for
the effort that is put in,” he said.
13-year-old
achieves dream
MONET SCHUTTE has achieved
her dream at 13-years-old.
From a very young age, Monet
has had a dream to perform
internationally.
And last week, she received a
standing ovation at the Vienna
Concert Hall in Austria after
performing her original song,
Like You Did Before.
“Singing on stage in Vienna
was a dream come true. I am so
excited that I now have reached
one of my musical goals. It was
the first song I ever wrote, and
it has a very special meaning,”
Monet said.
Written about a friend with
depression, the song won the International
Sounds of Children’s
Rights Songwriting Competition
held in Austria.
She was awarded two prestigious
gold coin awards for her
achievement.
She wrote and recorded the
song with her mentor Sacha Vee
at SOLE Music Academy earlier
this year and decided to enter it
into the competition sponsored
by UNICEF.
Said Monet: “One of my
friends, unfortunately, suffers
from depression and so I wrote
this song about how I tried to

help.”
When Monet received the
news she had made it to the top
10 contestants from around the
world, she only had two months
to prepare for the trip and get
performance-ready.
This was a challenge, since
Monet had to learn piano to accompany
herself.
However, with the guidance
from Vee she put in the time and
is now reaping the reward.

Qualified team with a focus
on vehicle safety
The team at Allan’s Tyre & Auto, Burnside
includes fully qualified, MTA-approved
and highly experienced mechanics, who
can turn their hand to most types of vehicle
repairs and maintenance.
Although they are Mitsubishi specialists
with over 20 years’ experience between
them, they welcome cars of all makes and
models and the friendly team are there to
make sure that all their customers leave in a
vehicle that is safe on New Zealand roads.
They can give your car a thorough check,
and their well-equipped workshop and
expertise means that if your car needs
repairs or new parts to pass its WOF, these
can be carried out on-site with as little
disruption to your busy life as possible.
Their focus is on making sure customers
leave in a vehicle that is safe – they provide
wheel alignments, which improve handling
and fuel economy, service and repair CV
joints, check and replace cambelts, and will
inspect your brakes to make sure they are
fully operational.
Summer is a key time to check your
car’s coolant – before heading off on your
summer holidays.
In short, at Allan’s Tyre & Auto they can
do anything from changing oil to extend
the life of the engine, inspecting your car
exhaust and muffler to make sure it is
not leaking, right through to checking,
repairing or replacing your car’s suspension,
shock-absorbers and steering.
Although their experience means they
can work on any car, Allan’s Tyre & Auto
is the only independent workshop in
Christchurch specialising in Mitsubishi.
That means they are experienced with
Mitsubishis of all models including the
newer ones with common rail diesel and
they have the latest Mitsubishi Factory Scan
tool. This can code keyless entry remotes,
immobiliser keys and scan your vehicle for
fault codes.

Tasty Bites
Vegan alternatives to favourite dishes
Taco lovers - you owe it to
yourselves to indulge in these
delicious meatless tacos.
These can also be enjoyed
with soft tortillas
Tacos de Hongo
(Mushroom Tacos)
Serves 2
Ingredients
For the black beans
1 can black beans, drained and
rinsed
For the mushroom filling
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
vegetable stock
30 button mushrooms, stemmed
and chopped
2 ½ Tbsp (non-spicy) chilli powder
1 ½ Tbsp paprika (plus more for
tomato salad)
1 Tbsp dried minced onion
sea salt
¼ cup fresh lime juice (from
about 2 limes), divided
2 ½ Tbsp natural tomato sauce
For the tomato salad and
guacamole
2 tomatoes, diced
½ red onion, diced
1 handful of fresh corriander,
chopped
1 avocado
garlic powder
For serving
4 lettuce leaves
6 hard-shelled tacos
hot sauce (optional)
Directions
Saute the garlic in a bit of
vegetable stock in a saucepan over
medium heat; add the chopped
mushrooms and sauté, stirring
occasionally, until mushrooms
shrink and become chewy. Add
the chilli, paprika, dried minced
onion, sea salt, and a couple of
tablespoons of fresh lime juice;
stir well to combine. Add the
tomato sauce and cook, stirring
occasionally. Taste and add more
tomato and/or spices, if desired.
Make the tomato salad:
Combine the diced tomatoes, red
onions, and corriander in a bowl
and squeeze some fresh lime juice
over; season with paprika and sea
salt to taste.
Make a quick guacamole:
Mash the avocado in a separate
bowl and season with sea salt, garlic
powder, and lime juice to taste.
Prepare a bed of lettuce for the
black beans.
Heat the taco shells. Build each
taco, starting with the mushroom
base, followed by the guacamole,
then finish with the tomato
salad on top. Drizzle with hot
sauce (if using). Serve with black
beans (simply heat and season as
desired).
Replace greasy wings at
a party with these spicy,
crunchy cauliflower bites.
Crispy Buffalo Cauliflower
Bites
Makes 6 cups
Ingredients
⅔ cup brown rice flour
2 Tbsp almond flour
1 Tbsp tomato paste
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp dried parsley
1 head cauliflower, cut into
medium florets
⅓ cup hot sauce or barbecue
sauce
Directions
Preheat oven to 230 deg C. Line
two trays with baking paper.
Combine the brown rice flour,
almond flour, tomato paste, garlic
powder, onion powder, paprika,
parsley, and ⅔ cup of water in a
blender. Puree until the batter
is smooth and thick. Transfer to
a bowl and add the cauliflower
florets; toss until the florets are
well coated with the batter.
Arrange in a single layer on the
trays, making sure that the florets
do not touch each other. Bake
for 20-25min, until crisp on the
edges. They will not get crispy all
over while still in the oven.
Remove from the heat and let
stand for 3min to crisp up a bit
more. Transfer to a bowl, drizzle
with sauce and serve immediately.

Architecturally designed to blend in
to the hill and maximise the sun and
stunning uninterrupted views this 1977
pole house has an air and feel of quality
and longevity about it.
Over engineered and extremely strong,
there are 4 double bedrooms, bathroom
and laundry etc. on the middle level whilst
on the 3rd floor lovely large open plan
living, dining and kitchen flowing on to
a large North, Northwest facing deck,
perfect for drinking in those captivating
and ever changing views.
Cleverly designed to maximise the
winter sun whilst giving some relief from
the summer sun this property is both
sheltered from the prevailing wind and
very very private. Is set over 1723m2 on
2 separate titles which gives the option of
selling one if required. The properties are
both beautifully landscaped and planted
attracting plentiful birdlife and birdsong.
The lower level of the house is a
triple garage with excellent storage and
workshop areas and gives internal access
in to the house. Classical simplicity with
floor to ceiling windows, well insulated
and double glazed, all timbers are treated
and the property is on mains water and
sewerage. Good access and off-street
parking round off a very appealing
package.
This is the first time to the market but
my vendors are retiring reluctantly and
this very special and unique property will
need to have a new owner. Includes boat
shed on Paradise Beach.
Viewing by appointment only.
