Countdown to City2Surf 

WITH NEW Year’s resolutions quickly 

approaching, there’s no better time to 

set yourself a personal goal than at one 

of the country’s biggest fun runs – the 

City2Surf. 

On March 22, the Les Mills City2Surf 

will celebrate its 46th running and as 

always will have an option for all types 

of fitness levels with a 14km and 6km 

option. 

The 14km event starts at 9am at Pioneer 

Stadium, and the 6km event starts at 

10am at Hansens Park, all culminating 

for a massive finish at Ferrymead Playing 

Fields where there will be plenty of 

entertainment and prizes on offer. 

“The Les Mills City2Surf gives 

everyone the outlet to do something for 

themselves. Challenge yourself to the 

14km distance or give yourself a first test 

and try to finish the 6km fun run,” said 

event manager Jon Holmes. 

“It doesn’t matter who you are or where 

you’ve come from, running/jogging/ 

walking the Les Mills City2Surf is the 

most welcoming and achievable thing you 

can do in 2020,” he said.

Bus lane project ‘a great idea’ 

• By Bea Gooding 

BUSINESS OWNER Lucas 

Kelly says the $2.5 million 

priority bus lane project on 

Main North Rd will be a good 

thing for the area. 

The construction between 

Winston Ave 

and Sawyers 

Arms Rd is 

due to begin in 

early January, 

but there 

have been 

concerns from 

Lucas Kelly 

businesses 

in the area 

because of the removal of onstreet 

parking and over the time 

it will take to implement the 

changes. 

But Mr Kelly, who owns The 

Barber Lounge said: “We should 

see it as a positive thing. If it’s 

going to lessen the congestion 

and encourage people to take 

the bus more often, then I think 

it’s a great idea.” 

The works are expected to 

take six months to complete, 

in a bid to reduce congestion 

on one of the busiest streets in 

Christchurch. 

There are currently 520 buses 

per day that operate through 

this section on Main North Rd. 

One bus can carry 50 passengers 

at a time, creating the potential 

for 26,000 people movements 

each way. 

Mr Kelly believed people 

should be patient because the 

new bus lanes would benefit 

everyone in the long run. 

“Yes it’s going to take six 

months to complete, but we 

should be patient. We don’t 

think it’ll affect our business, 

but we should focus on 

improvement, not duration,” he 

said. 

A number of businesses on 

Main North Rd would not talk 

to Nor’West News about the 

changes. 

The city council’s contractor, 

CityCare, will begin installing 

northbound bus lanes in 

early January, along with layout 

changes at the Northlands 

Shopping Centre entrance and 

the installation of new traffic 

BUSY: The plan 

showing the 

new priority bus 

lanes that will be 

installed along 

Main North Rd. 

 

lights at the Main North Rd and 

Grassmere St intersection. 

City council transport 

planning and delivery manager 

Lynette Ellis said the project 

will improve the reliability 

of travel times for public 

transport. 

“It’s one of the busiest streets 

in Christchurch and carries high 

volumes of buses taking people 

between the city centre and the 

northern suburbs.” 

In Brief 

MAJOR PRIZE 

The Greater Hornby Residents’ 

Association Facebook page is 

soon set to reach 4000 likes. The 

association has teamed up with 

NZV8 Hot Laps to giveaway to a 

prizewinner three laps of Mike 

Pero Motorsport Park Raceway 

in a V8 Ford or Holden. All 

those that like the page once it has 

reached 4000 likes will go in the 

draw. 

NO STOPPING RESTRICTIONS 

No stopping restrictions will be 

placed on Bartlett St in Riccarton. 

The restrictions are to improve 

visibility for road users when 

exiting driveways in the bend and 

were approved at the Halswell- 

Hornby-Riccarton Community 

Board meeting on Tuesday. 

BUS STOP UPGRADES 

A number of bus stop upgrades 

will be made to the bus stop 

on Halswell Rd. The Halswell- 

Hornby-Riccarton Community 

Board has approved for the bus 

stop on 286 Halswell Rd to be 

relocated to 278/280 Halswell 

Rd. A bus shelter will also be 

installed beside 278 Halswell Rd 

and the existing outbound bus 

stop opposite 284/286 will be 

marked.

Cutting a path through to a new direction 


TRANSFORMATION: Barber Zarian Taungahihifo has gone from mixing with the wrong crowd to 

claiming a top award at the New Zealand Association of Registered Hairdressers competition. 

PHOTOS: GEOFF SLOAN 

GROWING UP, Zarian 

Taungahihifo never experienced 

being in the spotlight. 

The 19-year-old encountered 

issues many young people of 

today commonly face – a lack of 

direction after high school or the 

discovery of one’s identity and 

place in the world. 

Rubbing shoulders with 

the “wrong crowd” pulled Mr 

Taungahihifo down a dangerous 

path of drugs and delinquency 

at a young age, but after a sitdown 

with his father, he decided 

enough was enough. 

“One day I sat down with my 

dad and evaluated where I was 

at, and nothing positive was happening. 

So we started looking for 

other options,” he said. 

He undertook work experience 

at The Barber Lounge for a few 

months before being offered 

an apprenticeship through the 

Ministry of Social Development’s 

Mana and Mahi programme, 

designed to help young people 

acquire valuable qualifications 

and skills. 

It was not long before he tasted 

success, competing at the New 

Zealand Association of Registered 

Hairdressers competition 

at Ara Institute of Canterbury, 

which showcased talent from 

hairdressers and barbers nationwide 

last August. 

Said Mr Taungahihifo: “Growing 

up my whole life the spotlight 

has never been on me, and 

to hear my name being called 

out for first place was pretty 

overwhelming.” 

He took out the top prize in 

two categories – Men’s En Trend 

Classic Barbering: The Fade and 

the Ray Astwood Barbering 

Award, both in the new talent 

category. 

He said his proudest 

achievement would not have 

been possible without the 

mentorship and support of his 

“family” at The Barber Lounge in 

Papanui who welcomed him like 

a brother. 

“I love life a lot better now. 

I’m in a better headspace, in a 

better environment and around 

positive people who have goals,” 

he said. 

“Back then I was hanging out 

with people who would only put 

me in the wrong positions and 

didn’t really care about me.” 

It has been said that it takes a 

village to raise a child, and The 

Barber Lounge senior barber 

Lucas Kelly felt this to be true. 

Mr Kelly and the team were 

the driving force behind Mr 

Taungahihifo’s success, instilling 

in him the Polynesian way of 

humility, respect and hospitality. 

Said Mr Taungahihifo: “Once 

I started working at the lounge, 

I learned how to respect myself, 

the peers around me and to just 

be myself.” 

Mr Kelly saw himself in 

the 19-year-old when he went 

through similar issues in his own 

life, fuelling his desire to mentor 

the teenager. 

“That’s what I identified 

in Zarian when I met him, 

that he was just a new generation 

of what I was, growing up 

with similar backgrounds,” he 

said. 

“Something that stuck out 

was if I had someone like me 

when I was in my own situation, 

I would’ve wished somebody 

would help me too.”

in life 

Born and bred in Mairehau, 

Mr Taungahihifo was in a “tough 

place” during school when he was 

dealing with the separation of his 

parents and being bullied for his 

size. 

“I was a bit of a bully too as I 

got older because I was lacking 

self-confidence, so it made me 

feel better about myself,” he said. 

As much as it was a learning 

curve, he believed that in the 

future he would become a mentor 

for someone else, passing on the 

knowledge and experiences that 

were shown to him. 

Said Mr Taungahihifo: “With 

what’s happened to me, I want to 

change someone else’s life 

too, someone who was in my 

position and be like how Lucas is 

to me.” 

Amongst the pumping 

music, buzzing conversations 

and warmth of brotherhood 

within the walls of The Barber 

Lounge, Mr Taungahihifo was 

proud of his journey and perseverance. 

He advised young people stuck 

in a difficult situation to surround 

themselves with positive 

people and to take a chance on 

something new. 

“Don’t be scared, I was, but 

once you step through that door 

of being scared, the sooner you 

step outside your comfort zone,” 

WARMTH: The Barber 

Lounge in Papanui fosters 

a brotherhood that includes 

Zarian Taungahihifo. 

he said. 

From public speaking, finishing 

his qualification, entering 

next year’s NZARH competition 

and attending industry awards 

– 2020 will prove to be a big year 

for Mr Taungahihifo. 

“In a short space of time, a lot 

has changed and it’s only going to 

go up from here.” 

Gillies overcome with award 


JENNY GILLIES is no stranger 

to receiving awards in the 

costume-making industry. 

And she has now been 

recognised with a Christchurch 

Civic Award. 

For 25 years, the costumemaker 

has helped foster 

Christchurch’s “garden city” 

image through her fabric floral 

creations, both in the city and 

abroad. 

Mrs Gillies was overcome 

with the news of her nomination. 

“It felt pretty fantastic; I was 

quite overcome when I found 

out about it,” she said. 

“To me, it’s very important, 

especially after everything the 

city has gone through in the last 

10 years.” 

The Civic Awards are presented 

each year by the city 

council and are awarded to 10 

groups or individuals who have 

gone above and beyond to make 

a difference in their community. 

Civic Awards committee chair 

councillor Yani Johanson said 

the awards acknowledge those 

who generously gave their time 

and energy to benefit others. 

“The groups and individuals 

who are receiving awards 

have worked tirelessly over 

COLOURFUL: Jenny Gillies has been recognised with a 

Christchurch Civic Award. 

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

many years to make a positive 

difference and we owe them 

a debt of gratitude,” said Cr 

Johanson. 

Nestled in the heart of the 

city, Mrs Gillies’ Enchanted 

Garden was a popular hot-spot 

for tourists and locals alike, with 

wearable works inspired by the 

surroundings of the Botanic 

Gardens. 

She has always had a keen interest 

in flowers, gardening and 

sewing which has further grown 

her passion in the costumemaking 

industry, creating works 

of art to bring joy to others. 

Said Mrs Gillies: “It’s also a 

haven for people that have been 

in the hospital getting treatment, 

we’ve found that it’s very 

therapeutic for them here.” 

Born and bred in Canterbury, 

her pride for the city remained 

unshaken. 

“For me, this is quite 

special and I’m very proud 

of Christchurch – even when 

rattled and shaken it doesn’t 

matter, I love it here.”

Rangi Ruru’s high-achieving school 

leavers presented with awards 

DESCRIBED AS a young 

woman of integrity, humility 

and intelligence, Emily Davy is 

Rangi Ruru Girls’ School’s Dux 

for 2019. 

Announced at last week’s endof-year 

prize-giving in front of a 

packed audience at Christchurch 

Town Hall, school principal Dr 

Sandra Hastie said Ms Davy 

demonstrated an outlook beyond 

her years and lead by example. 

“Emily has repeatedly gained 

Elite Academic Colours, however, 

this is only one of her exceptional 

attributes with music, 

future problem solving, service 

and sustainability tracking 

alongside,” said Dr Hastie. 

“This year she is ranked at 

or near the top in all six of her 

subjects. We know that behind 

the successes are hours of commitment 

and plain hard work 

that contribute to this.” 

Year 13 student Tulsi Lathia 

won the title of Best All-Round 

Girl, a highly respected award at 

the school. 

An entrepreneur at heart, a 

humanist, and a self-starter, Dr 

Hastie said Ms Lathia lived to 

help others which empowered 

the people that she was helping. 

PRIZE: Year 13 student Tulsi 

Lathia was named Best All- 

Round Girl at the Rangi Ruru 

Girls’ School prize-giving. 

Said Dr Hastie: “She has a 

wonderful, positive attitude. 

Tulsi has willingly given many 

hours of her time mentoring 

younger students, in leadership 

roles, in sports and was on the 

Service Council.” 

In November, Ms Lathia and 

her Young Enterprise teammates 

DUX: Rangi 

Ruru student

her award 

from year 13 

dean Angela 

Lidstone. 

recently launched their unique 

cookbook, Spoonful of Spice, 

which presented the stories 

behind the recipes of refugee and 

immigrant women. 

Said Ms Lathia on last month’s 

cookbook launch: “You need to 

persevere to get to your end goal. 

It’s not easy, it never will be, and 

you just need to keep on trying.” 

Rangi Ruru student Amber 

Spurway was also named this 

year’s Proxime Accessit and received 

the Dorothy Bates Trophy 

for outstanding potential. 

Dr Hastie said she was a mentor 

for junior students, and her 

passion for learning had seen her 

gain 100 per cent of excellence 

grades in NCEA Level 2. 

“Amber is never willing to 

leave an assumption untested, or 

an argument half-spun. She has 

the ability to interpret and infer 

meaning beyond the words she’s 

presented with,” she said. 

Rotary 

supports 

families 

in need 

NEARLY $4000 worth 

of groceries were packed 

and distributed by the 

Christchurch Rotary Club 

to help families in need with 

Christmas. 

The club gathered at the 

Cashmere Club hall recently 

to pack 125 boxes of groceries 

for distribution amongst city 

charities and organisations 

who are at the front line when 

dealing with families feeling 

the financial pressures during 

the season. 

The organisations include 

Christchurch East Primary 

School, Family Help Trust, 

Prisoners Aid and Rehabilitation 

Society, Christchurch 

(Anglican) City Mission, Salvation 

Army, Canterbury Core 

Daddy’s and Battered Women’s 

Trust. 

The groceries were 

purchased from Pak’nSave 

Moorhouse Avenue, who 

supported the project.

CHRISTCHURCH GIRLS’ 

High School will have to wait 

12 months to be national 

cricket champions after 

finishing runners-up last week 

at Hagley Park and Christ’s 

College. 

The entire squad will be 

back in 12 months time, eager 

to go one better after falling at 

the final hurdle of the Gillette 

Venus Cup. 

CGHS went unbeaten 

through pool play, including 

beating Dunedin’s St Hilda’s, 

who knocked them out 

last year, to make the final 

before falling by 80 runs to 

Auckland’s Epsom Girls’ 

Grammar in the final. 

CGHS coach Hannah 

Beatson said her team 

showed real intensity in the 

field throughout, capitalising 

on the opportunities they 

created. 

Opener Casey Liddington 

starred with the bat, scoring 

174 runs in six innings, laying 

the platform for major wins 

in the early rounds including 

a six-wicket win over St 

Matthew’s Collegiate and a 

pair of nine wicket wins over 

Hutt Valley High School and 

Epsom Girls’. 

“Our top-order did a great 

SO CLOSE: The Christchurch Girls’ High School cricket team finished second at the 

Gillette Venus Cup national tournament last week. 

job, lead by Casey and we 

tried to keep that momentum 

throughout the three days,” 

she said. 

In the final, it was a different 

story. 

“I thought Epsom gained the 

momentum in the first over of 

the game and never let us get 

SPORT 

into the game. 

“We had a young team this 

year and we didn’t have one 

year 13 player so it is very 

exciting to try to win it all in 

2020.” 

Beatson has already 

organised a warm-up 

game against St Hilda’s for 

October, a repeat of the first 

women’s match ever played 

at the well-known ground at 

Loburn. 

Now that exams are over, 

kickstart your career in 2020!

Young ballerina takes 

second place in exams 


FOURTEEN-year-old 

ballerina Riley Lyons knew 

she would be competing 

against dancers much 

older than herself at the 

New Zealand Association 

of Modern Dance annual 

examinations last month. 

But when she pirouetted 

her way into second place 

at the scholarship awards 

event in Wellington, 

against dancers up to year 

13, her surprise was an 

understatement. 

Riley, a year 9 student 

at St Andrew’s College 

said it felt “surprising but 

amazing” to not only be 

nominated for the scholarship 

prize but to take out 

second place. 

“I went to the awards 

hoping that I might be able 

to make the finals, but to 

come second was a huge 

shock,” she said. 

Gaining entry into the 

nationwide competition 

was not an easy feat as she 

had to gain the top ballet 

mark in her examinations 

and be personally 

nominated by an NZAMD 

examiner for the prize. 

Riley began her ballet 

journey when she was just 

four-years-old and splits 

SUCCESS: Riley Lyons, of St Andrew’s College, was 

shocked with her second place at the New Zealand 

Association of Modern Dance annual examinations. 

her training between Garden 

City Dance Academy 

and St Andrew’s Ballet 

Academy, where she was 

nominated for the award. 

Subsequently, she was 

the only ballet dancer from 

Christchurch to attend the 

scholarship awards. 

She credited her success 

to the support from her 

family and teachers, hard 

work and countless hours 

of training. But Riley is 

determined to continue 

improving and broaden 

her knowledge of the dance 

world. 

“One of my main goals 

this year was to be reaccepted 

into the associates 

programme at the New 

Zealand School of Dance 

in Wellington for 2020,” 

she said. 

“Fortunately, I was 

accepted and I get to 

train intensively with 

world-class teachers. It’s 

an inspiring place and I’m 

very privileged to be a part 

of this elite programme.”

Young explorer leads 

classmates to the ice 

FOLLOWING IN his ancestor’s 

footsteps, seven-year-old 

Ollie Criglington led his own 

expedition to the ice treating 

his Cotswold School classmates 

to a day at the International 

Antarctic Centre. 

The year 2 pupil recently 

won a “dress as your favourite 

explorer” competition at the 

ChristchurchNZ Explore Antarctica 

fun day, and because of 

this, he was able to discover the 

wonders of Antarctica with 23 of 

his classmates and their parents. 

The young explorer represented 

the fifth generation of 

his family with links to the icy 

continent. His great-great grandfather, 

William McDonald, was 

an able seaman on the Terra 

Nova of Robert Falcon Scott’s 

last expeditions. 

The International Antarctic 

Centre general manager Todd 

Schmidt said he was “delighted” 

to learn of the many connections 

that Ollie’s family had with the 

ice. 

“Ollie is a true Antarctic 

ambassador, a wonderful local 

example of the way our younger 

generation is challenging us all 

to do more,” said Mr Schmidt. 

Ollie and his classmates were 

able to learn about climate 

change in Antarctica, the vital 

research scientists carried out 

and the legacies of explorers 

before him. 

His great grandfather, Alan, 

and grandmother Anne also 

have significant links with the 

continent, along with Ollie’s 

“Uncle Richie,” a field training 

instructor who is currently on 

his eighth season in Antarctica. 

Ollie’s favourite parts about 

his visit to the International 

Antarctic Centre was riding in 

the Hägglund, the Antarctic 

storm experience and patting the 

Huskies. 

He wished to explore 

Antarctica one day, working in 

the field “just like Uncle Richie.” 

FAMILY LINKS: 

Ollie Criglington 

with his 

grandmother, 

Anne Hunter, 

sister, Emma and 

his mother, Sarah

Antarctic Centre.

New manager excited 

for challenge ahead 


MEET SMITHS City 

Northwood’s newest store 

manager: Davin Vaikvee. 

Born and raised in Wellington, 

he began his Smiths City journey 

in 2012 as a manager, relocating 

from Lower Hutt, to Invercargill 

and now here in Christchurch. 

Mr Vaikvee said he was excited 

for the challenge ahead, working 

in a location that offers customers 

choice and competition with a 

“community feel about it.” 

“I’m proud of my progression 

within Smiths City and the support 

I’ve received from management,” 

he said. 

“I’m now the manager of a flagship 

store in the city where it all 

began over 100 years ago, and I’m 

excited at the challenge of providing 

home solutions to Northwood 

and surrounding communities.” 

He had a “typical” kiwi 

upbringing, spending plenty of 

time in the outdoors - whether it 

was at the beach or spending the 

summer on the family farm in 

the Waikato. 

Before he joined the Smiths 

City family, he worked in the 

food and beverage industry as 

a regional manager in the lower 

North Island, along with a stint 

in Wanaka. 

Keeping active is a must for Mr 

Vaikvee, especially heading out 

of town with his fishing rod in 

tow. Being in Canterbury meant 

the excitement of catching wild 

salmon, something he looked 

forward to. 

Even though Christchurch was 

ideal for its close proximity to 

rivers, beaches and back country, 

it’s the people he liked the most 

about Canterbury. 

“I find Cantabrians likeminded 

in that they are practical 

people and don’t shy away from 

a good conversation or offer for 

help. They’re great people.”

Tasty Bites 

The perfect Xmas 

table centerpiece 

The most perfect sticky 

glaze is slathered all 

over this juicy, tender, 

baked Brown Sugar 

Mustard Glazed Ham, 

with crisp edges and an 

incredible flavour 

Brown Sugar 

Mustard-Glazed Ham 

Ingredients 

4-5kg bone-in fully cooked 

ham 

½ cup water 

½ cup unsalted butter 

1 cup brown sugar 

½ cup honey 

2 tablespoons Dijon 

mustard 

¼ teaspoon ground 

cinnamon 

¼ teaspoon ground cloves 

4 cloves garlic, smashed 

Directions 

Preheat the oven to 150 

deg C. and arrange a rack 

in the lower third. Remove 

any plastic packaging or 

netting from the ham. Trim 

away the rind and discard. 

Set the ham aside to rest 

at room temperature for 

1-2hr. 

Line a baking tray or 

dish with several sheets of 

aluminium foil or baking 

paper if you prefer (it will 

make clean-up a lot easier). 

Remove the rind or skin 

of the ham, ensuring you 

leave the fat on. Using a 

sharp knife score a 2-3cm 

wide diamond pattern 

(don’t cut more than 5mm 

deep) over the entire ham. 

Place the ham in the baking 

tray; pour ⅓ cup of water 

into the base of the pan 

and cover the ham with 

two pieces of foil or baking 

paper and bake for 30min. 

Meanwhile, heat the 

butter in a small pot or 

saucepan over medium 

heat until golden browned. 

Add in the brown sugar, 

honey, mustard, cinnamon 

and cloves, stirring to mix 

How to remove 

ham rind 

1. Cut a line through the 

skin all around the shank 

end. 

2. Insert a sharp knife 

between the rind and fat 

and run it along to detach 

the rind. 

3. Using your fingers, 

gently separate the rind 

from the fat, insterting 

your hand deeper into the 

ham to keep detaching it. 

4. Peel off and discard the 

rind. 

together well until the 

brown sugar has completely 

dissolved, (about 2min). 

Reduce heat to low and 

add in the garlic. Allow it to 

become fragrant, cooking 

for a further minute or two 

until the glaze just begins 

to simmer, then set it aside 

and let cool to lukewarm 

(the glaze should be the 

consistency of roomtemperature 

honey). 

After 30min baking time, 

carefully remove the ham 

from the oven and increase 

the oven temperature to 

220 deg C. Discard the 

foil or parchment paper 

and pour ⅓ of the glaze all 

over the ham, brushing in 

between the cuts to evenly 

cover. Return to the oven 

and bake uncovered for 

15min. 

Remove from the oven, 

brush with another third 

of the glaze and some of 

the pan juices, and repeat 

again after 15min more 

1 2 

3 4 

minutes of baking until a 

dark golden-brown crust 

has formed, (about 30min 

total). For added depth of 

flavour, mix some of the 

ham pan juices together 

with the glaze in the pot 

which will help keep it 

runny enough for brushing. 

If your crust is still pink 

after there suggested baking 

time, turn on your broiler 

(or oven grill), and allow it 

to broil for 2-5min, while 

keeping an eye on it so 

it doesn’t burn from the 

sugar. 

Let the ham rest 10- 

20min before slicing. 

NOTES 

If your glaze has been 

over simmered and begins 

to thicken between each 

baste, add some of the 

pan juices to it and heat it 

up over low heat until it 

warms through and is the 

consistency of warmed 

honey.
