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

The moment St Andrew’s 

captured the win was extra 

special for St Andrew’s coach 

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

students have compiled a book of recipes, stories and “nuggets

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 


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. 

Burnside Primary plans to 

transform an unused area next 

to its field by planting hundreds 

of native trees, as well as adding 

seating, worm farms, native ed-

ible plants and further developing 

its existing butterfly garden. 

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

Higgins said the panel appreciated

by the statutory process under the 

Resource Management Act. 

The mall’s owner, TEL Property

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

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

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, 

Zak Foulkes and Jordy 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 


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.

commitment honoured at prizegiving ceremonies. Well done on your achievements. 

This year the Board has been working closely with the Bishop and the Diocese Property 

Group in overseeing planning for our new school at Papanui in 2023. Alongside 

technical work, students and staff have been contributing, through workshops, a 

survey and providing input into the development of our cultural narrative, which will 

be reflected in the new school buildings and grounds. 

While this whole new layer of work progresses, Marian College continues to deliver 

high quality teaching and learning and providing wonderful opportunities and 

experiences for students. Thank you to Marian staff, Marian College Foundation, 

PTA, the Bishop and the Catholic Diocese of Christchurch for your support this year. 

We have been thrilled by the steady growth of Rauru – for past students and staff of 

Marian College, St Mary’s College Christchurch and McKillop College. To reconnect 

with us, please register on the Marian website and follow us on Facebook. 

Finally, congratulations to our 2019 graduates.

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.

council’s “Have Your Say” page.

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

Competition. 

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.

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. 

Located at 164 Kendal Avenue, the 

business has expanded as they continue 

to welcome customers old and new. Visit 

allansauto.co.nz to find out how they can 

keep your vehicle safe and on the road this 

summer. Open Monday to Friday, 8am- 

5pm and Saturday, 8.30am-1pm. Call in 

or telephone (03) 358 9399 to book your 

vehicle in.

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

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.

REAL ESTATE 

Timeless classic with 

magnificent views 

24 and 26 Bayview Road, Charteris Bay 

Asking price: $950,000 

4 bedrooms | 1 bathroom | open plan living/dining/kitchen 

3 car-garage | 1 boatshed | Listing 10651 



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.
