Birdlife concerns raised<br />

over pathway proposal<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

BIRDLIFE WILL be harmed if a<br />

pathway is built along the western<br />

edge of the Avon-Heathcote Ihutai<br />

Estuary, groups say.<br />

The city council may consider options<br />

for an alternative route.<br />

The Avon-Heathcote Estuary<br />

Ihutai Trust and Redcliffs Residents<br />

Association are opposing the city<br />

council’s proposal to extend its 360<br />

walking and cycle trail along the<br />

estuary edge beside the Bromley<br />

oxidation ponds.<br />

Both groups have raised their<br />

concerns with the Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />

Community Board.<br />

Estuary trust chairman Kit<br />

Doudney said the estuary is home<br />

to about 100 bird species and has<br />

recently been made part of the East<br />

Asian-Australasian Flyway. This<br />

means migratory birds which use<br />

the estuary, such as the bar-tailed<br />

godwit are protected.<br />

But Mr Doudney said constructing<br />

the proposed pathway will put<br />

godwits and other bird species in<br />

jeopardy.<br />

Said Mr Doudney: “The problem<br />

with the pathway incurring into a<br />

wildlife refuge is that the wildlife<br />

suffers from incursion of humans<br />

and often their companion animals<br />

such as dogs and on occasions, in<br />

this case, horses, on the estuary bed.<br />

Mystery odour causing a stink<br />

A MYSTERIOUS odour<br />

Veterinary practice<br />

Brain tumour in a cat<br />

This is a remarkable story where an 13<br />

year old Norwegian Forest cat “ Sashenka”<br />

was diagnosed via CT imaging of having<br />

a brain tumour, “Meningioma” and<br />

successfully had surgery two weeks ago<br />

in a specialist hospital in Auckland to<br />

remove the tumour. Never in 30 years<br />

of being a vet have I had a client willing<br />

to proceed to surgery to remove a brain<br />

tumour in their pet, plus she survived and<br />

is thriving. She’s one very lucky cat with<br />

incredibly caring owners who wanted the<br />

best possible outcome for their precious<br />

cat.<br />

Sashenka first presented just before<br />

Christmas being a bit “off” - more<br />

clingy, vocalising more, seeming to<br />

have trouble going up and down stairs,<br />

difficulty navigating obstacles, seeming<br />

disorientated, scratching the wooden<br />

floor boards, pacing, kneading and off<br />

balance sometimes. She was a cat always<br />

up a tree and she stopped doing this.<br />

She wasn’t chasing her treats and started<br />

walking in circles. She was never seen<br />

seizuring though and continued eating.<br />

We examined Sashenka and ran an<br />

extensive array of blood and urine tests,<br />

X-rays and ultrasound examinations. We<br />

saw her 15 times in about three weeks.<br />

All testing was basically normal. We tried<br />

different medications and she stayed in<br />

the hospital on IV fluids but we couldn’t<br />

get a of handle on her diagnosis and<br />

there was no improvement at home. Her<br />

owner saw a different Sashenka than the<br />

cat we saw at the clinic.<br />

We consulted the services of Feline<br />

consultants and specialists but she was<br />

deteriorating quickly, having difficulty<br />

eating and appeared dull and not<br />

responsive to her owners at times. Steroid<br />

injections showed improvement but her<br />

bizarre behaviours did wax and wane<br />

with her worse clinical symptom being<br />

close to comatosed. We decided to CT<br />

Sashenka to find out what was really<br />

going on. We offer MRI (Forte Health)<br />

and CT (Pacific Radiology at Lincoln)<br />

at McMaster & Heap. The patients are<br />

sedated and the images taken from<br />

very fancy expensive computors. It’s<br />

painless for the pet and can give us many<br />

answers that other means of testing<br />

can’t deliver. The radiologist diagnosed<br />

Sashenka with a large intracranial brain<br />

lesion , most probably a meningioma.<br />

Other differentials included a glioma or<br />

astrocytoma.<br />

We consulted an experienced surgical<br />

team in Auckland who were keen to take<br />

over her case. After lengthy discussions<br />

with the owners it was decided to push<br />

forward with brain surgery, so Sashenka<br />

and her devoted owners headed to<br />

Auckland. Brain surgery isn’t a walk in the<br />

park and more tests had to be carried<br />

out on Sashenka. She was getting very<br />

used to needles now and thermometers??<br />

She had an MRI before the surgery and a<br />

CT after the surgery to confirm position<br />

of the titanium screws used to secure<br />

her cranium back in place. She received<br />

a blood transfusion on the day of the<br />

surgery and had an oesophageal feeding<br />

tube placed so that we were able to<br />

supply her nutritionally post surgery, in<br />

case she didn’t feel like eating. Once the<br />

tumour was removed it measured 2.6cm x<br />

3cm x 1.2cm - quite sizeable. She made an<br />

excellent recovery from her anaesthetic<br />

and stayed in the specialist hospital to be<br />

closely monitored for a few days.<br />

She had very specific discharge<br />

instructions including cage confinement<br />

for four weeks (an impossible requirement<br />

for Sashenka), physiotherapy on her<br />

back muscles and legs and medications<br />

including steroids, pain relief and<br />

antibiotics. Catherine has seen her<br />

recently and she appears to be doing<br />

really well - she even escaped her cage<br />

and was seen running up a tree - her<br />

favourite place to be, a birds eye view of<br />

life.<br />

Day 1 after the surgery.<br />

The tumour may grow back and<br />

Catherine is exploring chemotherapy<br />

options but for now Sashenka has her full,<br />

active life back again which is great news<br />

for everybody. She may pave the way in<br />

the future for other patients with brain<br />

tumours. Thank you to Sashenkas mum<br />

and dad for allowing me to write this<br />

article on her.<br />

More police to<br />

respond<br />

to break-ins<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

POLICE WILL increase<br />

patrols across south<br />

Christchurch after a spike<br />

in the number of vehicles<br />

being broken into.<br />

Detective Senior Sergeant<br />

Damon Wells said<br />

vehicle break-ins have<br />

been increasing throughout<br />

this area, particularly<br />

in Halswell but did not say<br />

by how much.<br />

“We don’t have statistics<br />

available at this time but<br />

anecdotally have seen an<br />

increase.”<br />

Detective Senior Sergeant<br />

Wells did not say<br />

how many police officers<br />

will be patrolling the areas<br />

or how many hours they<br />

will devote a week.<br />

“For operational<br />

reasons, we’re not able to<br />

share specific detail on<br />

police resourcing,” he<br />

said.<br />

Halswell Residents’ Association<br />

secretary David<br />

Hawke said he is not<br />

aware of the recent spike<br />

in vehicle break-ins in the<br />

area but it is good police<br />

are responding to this if it<br />

is an issue.<br />

Said Mr Hawke: “I guess<br />

from a general statement,<br />

our expectation is that<br />

they [police] respond to<br />

the level of the problem.”<br />

Mr Hawke hopes increased<br />

patrols will also<br />

lead to police reducing<br />

the number of speeding<br />

vehicles driving through<br />

Halswell, which the<br />

residents’ association has<br />

SAFER: Police patrols will increase in south<br />

Christchurch, particularly Halswell, to address an<br />

increase in vehicle break-ins.<br />

raised as a concern in the<br />

past.<br />

“I guess the interest<br />

we’ve had more recently<br />

was more police patrols to<br />

enforce speed limits.”<br />

He said police appeared<br />

to be doing a good job<br />

of slowing down drivers<br />

since speed was raised as<br />

a concern by the association.<br />

He believes increased<br />

patrols could help reduce<br />

speeding in the area even<br />

further.<br />

Said Detective Senior<br />

Sergeant Wells: “Police<br />

patrolling in the area<br />

will perform a number of<br />

tasks, including providing<br />

prevention advice and responding<br />

to any offending<br />

that takes place.”<br />

Meanwhile, police<br />

would like to remind<br />

residents of measures they<br />

can take to make their<br />

vehicle less appealing to<br />

thieves.<br />

Police ask residents to<br />

help deter burglars by<br />

not leaving valuables or<br />

documents with personal<br />

information in vehicles,<br />

parking in well-lit areas,<br />

locking vehicles and taking<br />

keys with them.<br />

Boats or vehicles should<br />

be disabled so they can’t<br />

be moved or towed away<br />

and locked in secure<br />

garages. People are also<br />

urged to keep in contact<br />

with neighbours.<br />

Tradies are encouraged<br />

to get their tools engraved<br />

with their driver licence<br />

number and secure them<br />

inside vehicles with chains<br />

and padlocks.<br />

Another board decision delayed<br />

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding<br />

HALSWELL-Hornby-Riccarton<br />

Community Board chairman<br />

Mike Mora has told his fellow<br />

board members to “grow some<br />

whatevers and actually make a<br />

decision on the board.”<br />

The outburst was during a<br />

debate at the board’s public<br />

meeting recently over whether<br />

some yellow<br />

lines should<br />

be painted on<br />

three residential<br />

streets in<br />

Halswell.<br />

City council<br />

Mike Mora ​<br />

Mark Peters<br />

staff had<br />

recommended<br />

no stopping<br />

restrictions were<br />

installed on<br />

parts of Bronco<br />

Drive, Bibiana<br />

St and Stallion<br />

Ave.<br />

But now an<br />

overhaul of the<br />

original report on the parking<br />

restrictions is in motion after<br />

concerns from board members<br />

not enough public consultation<br />

on the proposal was initially<br />

carried out.<br />

But before the decision was<br />

made Mr Mora said: “We have<br />

just got to grow some whatevers<br />

and actually make a decision on<br />

Call for pathway not to go ahead close to estuary<br />

•From page 1<br />

“We absolutely welcome the<br />

idea of walking and cycling<br />

paths, it’s just that this is the<br />

wrong area to put it,” he said.<br />

Said Redcliffs Residents<br />

Association secretary Pat<br />

McIntosh: “It would be a very<br />

nice facility for people to be<br />

able to walk around the estuary<br />

edge but unfortunately it’s a<br />

nature reserve and it’s incredibly<br />

important for the wildlife at<br />

the estuary that they actually<br />

have some space where they’re<br />

understood.”<br />

A motion passed at the<br />

residents’ association’s <strong>February</strong><br />

NO CHANGE: The city council has received complaints from residents of inconsiderate<br />

parking taking place on residential streets including Bronco Drive. It has proposed no stopping<br />

restrictions but further consultation is required.<br />

the board.”<br />

But board member Mark<br />

Peters hit back.<br />

He said: “I actually find that a<br />

slight bit offensive, Mr Chair, being<br />

told to grow something and<br />

make a decision.”<br />

Mr Mora responded “fair<br />

enough.”<br />

He later said while it was probably<br />

the wrong choice of words,<br />

people do need to realise the<br />

board is there to make decisions.<br />

“I am a straight shooter – I say<br />

3 meeting and emailed to the<br />

Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />

Community Board said the<br />

proposed pathway “is in<br />

breach of local, national and<br />

international protections.<br />

“This area – the oxidation<br />

ponds, Linwood paddocks,<br />

Sandy Point and the adjacent<br />

shoreline – is a crucial refuge for<br />

a large variety of birds, including<br />

endangered migratory birds and<br />

rare New Zealand species. It is<br />

the last bastion of estuary edge<br />

that does not allow easy access by<br />

humans and dogs, and the only<br />

remaining mainly undisturbed<br />

area for waterfowl roosting in the<br />

what I think”.<br />

The comments were after<br />

Mr Peters raised concerns the<br />

entirety of Bronco Drive had not<br />

been consulted on the no stopping<br />

restrictions.<br />

City council traffic engineer<br />

Barry Hayes said generally he<br />

goes about three properties beyond<br />

the extent of the proposal<br />

and he contacted the Halswell<br />

Residents’ Association.<br />

But Mr Peters put forward<br />

an amendment for the decision<br />

estuary,” the motion said.<br />

Said city council head of parks<br />

Andrew Rutledge: An Ecological<br />

Impact Assessment is under way<br />

to report on how the pathway<br />

would impact on the ecological<br />

values of the site (primarily<br />

birdlife and lizards) and what<br />

the overall impacts would be if<br />

a range of potential mitigation<br />

measures were put in place.<br />

“Following further investigations<br />

and cost estimates, the<br />

Council may be asked to consider<br />

options for the pathway, including<br />

a potential alternative route<br />

and whether to put the proposal<br />

forward for public consultation.<br />

over the no stopping restrictions<br />

to be delayed until further<br />

consultation had been held with<br />

all residents of Bronco Drive and<br />

Stallion Ave.<br />

Already, the board had voted<br />

to delay making a decision on<br />

a safety upgrade to the Ilam/<br />

Middleton/Riccarton Rd intersection.<br />

“I don’t want to be obstructive<br />

but I want to ensure we have got<br />

the consultation absolutely correct<br />

and right.<br />

Because the details of the pathway<br />

haven’t been decided, the<br />

construction costs are not yet<br />

known,” he said.<br />

Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />

Community Board member Tim<br />

Lindley, who is a member of the<br />

estuary trust, didn’t speak for<br />

the whole board but believes the<br />

pathway should not go-ahead<br />

close to the estuary. Instead, he<br />

said there are grass areas further<br />

away, which would be more<br />

suitable.<br />

He said he hopes the board will<br />

discuss the community’s concerns<br />

about the proposal this year and<br />

decide on the next step.<br />

The fact we had seen the surprise<br />

on Colligan St, I want to make<br />

sure we don’t sneak up on people<br />

through consultation and we get<br />

it right,” Mr Peters said.<br />

Concerns were raised by<br />

residents on Colligan St when<br />

the board made a decision to<br />

cut parking on their street to<br />

make way for the weekly rubbish<br />

collection truck without their<br />

knowledge.<br />

The vote on the amendment<br />

drew a tie with board members<br />

Helen Broughton, Ms Mora, Mr<br />

Peters and city councillor Catherine<br />

Chu voting for.<br />

Mr Mora, board member<br />

Gamal Fouda, city councillor<br />

Jimmy Chen voted against while<br />

board member Andrei Moore<br />

abstained.<br />

A second vote was called after<br />

further questions with all board<br />

members voting the same except<br />

for Mr Moore – who voted against<br />

the decision being delayed.<br />

Transports operations manager<br />

Steffan Thomas said the new<br />

report will recommend the same<br />

proposal as previously reported<br />

on but will include any new<br />

submissions following additional<br />

consultation.<br />

Previously staff consulted<br />

30 properties in total – an<br />

additional 10 properties will<br />

receive further consultation.<br />

Idle locomotive has family fuming<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

HAVING A locomotive’s engine<br />

running next to your house at<br />

the crack of dawn would be a<br />

nightmare for most people.<br />

For Saman Farahani, it is a<br />

harsh reality he and his family<br />

face up to three times a week.<br />

His home on Lowe St in<br />

Addington sits right next to the<br />

railway.<br />

Mr Farahani said over the<br />

past three months a train would<br />

occasionally stop between 6am<br />

and 6.30am and the locomotive’s<br />

engine would be idling outside<br />

the house.<br />

He said the combination of the<br />

noise and the shaking from the<br />

engine would wake up himself,<br />

his wife Sara and three-monthold<br />

daughter.<br />

He also said the smell of<br />

fumes fills up his house to the<br />

point where he cannot stop<br />

coughing.<br />

“First thing when I wake up, I<br />

cough because the house is full<br />

of the smell of gas,” he said.<br />

Mr Farahani said he was<br />

concerned for the health of his<br />

daughter.<br />

He said moving was not<br />

an option for him, with his<br />

tenancy contract at the<br />

property not running out<br />

until October.<br />

“The driver will stop outside<br />

UP CLOSE: Saman Farahani’s home will shake and fill up with fumes when a locomotive stops<br />

next to it.<br />

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />

the house and the whole house<br />

will start shaking and it will be so<br />

loud you won’t be able to sleep.<br />

“I’m just asking for a bit of<br />

respect.”<br />

Mr Farahani said he had<br />

pleaded with the driver on<br />

numerous occasions park the<br />

locomotive further along the<br />

railway line where there are no<br />

houses, but was ignored.<br />

KiwiRail acting South Island<br />

general manager of operations<br />

Mark Heissenbuttel said it<br />

apologised for the disturbance<br />

and was investigating how to<br />

solve the issue as quickly as<br />

possible.<br />

“KiwiRail endeavours to be<br />

a good neighbour to those who<br />

live alongside the rail corridor,”<br />

he said.<br />

“Occasionally residents raise<br />

issues like this with us and wherever<br />

possible we try to adjust<br />

our operations to remove the<br />

nuisance.”<br />

Community<br />

boards to get<br />

public input<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

THE PUBLIC will have a say<br />

on the priorities of community<br />

boards for the first time.<br />

The city council is publicly<br />

consulting on the three-year plans<br />

of community boards which set<br />

out their priorities for local communities.<br />

City council head of support,<br />

governance and partnerships John<br />

Filsell said the idea behind the<br />

initiative was to get community<br />

feedback in order to inform board<br />

priorities.<br />

These plans will guide the<br />

boards’ decisions on local activities,<br />

projects and facilities and advocacy<br />

on behalf of communities.<br />

Each plan will identify three<br />

priorities per ward area, so the<br />

Burwood-Coastal Community<br />

Board for example which comprises<br />

of two wards will have six<br />

priorities. Burwood-Coastal is the<br />

only board to have its plan out for<br />

consultation at this stage. It has<br />

proposed prioritising service delivery<br />

at QEII Recreation and Sport<br />

Centre, planning for an additional<br />

community facility in Burwood,<br />

the transformation of the red zone<br />

and improving roading.<br />

Mr Filsell said all boards would<br />

have their plans out for public<br />

consultation until early March.<br />

Schools prep for<br />

garden festival<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

SCHOOL PUPILS from St<br />

Mark’s School are amongst those<br />

who have been preparing for the<br />

Grow Ō Tautahi Christchurch<br />

Garden Festival.<br />

St Mark’s, Heathcote Valley<br />

School, Banks Avenue School,<br />

St Albans Catholic School, West<br />

Rolleston, West Eyreton, West<br />

Melton, Burnside Primary and<br />

Diamond Harbour School are<br />

taking part in the festival, creating<br />

display gardens that reflect<br />

their values and surroundings.<br />

It will be held in the Botanic<br />

Gardens from March 20-22.<br />

The gardens have been growing<br />

since late last year, but extra work<br />

was needed over the holidays.<br />

Said St Mark’s teacher Liz<br />

Coster: “The importance of caring<br />

for our community through<br />

sustainable practices will be<br />

reflected in the St Mark’s garden<br />

entry at the Grow Ōtautahi Garden<br />

Show.”<br />

Grow Ō Tautahi festival director<br />

Sandi MacRae said school kids<br />

will be on-site during the festival<br />

to talk to visitors about their gardens<br />

and what they represent.<br />

“When we were planning the<br />

Festival, we were clear it had<br />

ENVIRONMENTAL: Ruby-<br />

from St Mark’s School putting<br />

together a display for the<br />

Grow Ō Tautahi Christchurch<br />

Garden Festival. ​<br />

to reflect local people and local<br />

ideas. It has been fantastic to get<br />

so many local primary schools<br />

involved to show off their gardening<br />

skills in creations that<br />

reflect their values.<br />

“We’re working closely with<br />

the schools to support their displays,<br />

but these are all their own<br />

creations and it’s their hard work<br />

that has gone in to producing the<br />

exhibits,” she said.<br />

The school garden creations<br />

will include an edible salad bowl,<br />

a celebration of native plants, a<br />

focus on wellness, a reflection<br />

on life in the red zone and many<br />

more ideas.<br />

Programme warns of<br />

dangers of speeding<br />

THE CRASH Bash road safety<br />

programme being performed<br />

across Canterbury schools over<br />

the next few weeks will aim to<br />

make teenagers aware of the<br />

dangers of speeding.<br />

The performance is targeted at<br />

year 11-13 students and will tour<br />

about 30 schools during term<br />

one including Cashmere High<br />

School, Hillmorton HighSchool<br />

and Rudolf Steiner School.<br />

Crash Bash is an interactive<br />

stage performance that tours<br />

secondary schools, spreading the<br />

message to young people about<br />

the importance of making safe<br />

choices when driving.<br />

This year’s performance,<br />

What’s the Rush? is going to<br />

focus on intersection safety and<br />

the risks of speed.<br />

Said city council transport<br />

operations manager Steffan<br />

Thomas: “Speed determines<br />

both the likelihood of a crash<br />

occurring and the severity of<br />

the outcome. Regardless of what<br />

causes a crash, whether people<br />

walk away or are carried away<br />

will depend on the speed their<br />

vehicles are travelling.<br />

DANGER: Interactive performance Crash Bash will aim to<br />

discourage teenagers from speeding. PHOTO: GETTY<br />

“We want young people to<br />

be aware of the risks that come<br />

with driving too fast and to<br />

understand that the choices<br />

they make when they get<br />

behind the wheel of a car have<br />

consequences – potentially<br />

life-changing consequences,’’<br />

Mr Thomas said.<br />

Mr Thomas said drivers on<br />

a restricted licence are seven<br />

times more likely to be involved<br />

in a crash resulting in a fatal<br />

or serious injury than other<br />

drivers.<br />

SOUTHERN VIEW<br />

“Data also shows that young<br />

restricted drivers are more at risk<br />

of having a serious crash in the<br />

first six to 12 months of driving<br />

solo on their restricted licence<br />

that an at any other time in their<br />

lives,” he said.<br />

Crash Bash is led by the city<br />

council, with funding support<br />

from the New Zealand Transport<br />

Agency.<br />

The performance is developed<br />

by the Court Theatre in<br />

collaboration with Canterbury<br />

I've been running a bespoke software development company in<br />

Christchurch since the end of 20<strong>18</strong>. One of my biggest struggles has always<br />

been to find reliable and talented developers to help me with projects when<br />

things get busy. I originally reached out to the team at Vision College to do<br />

some mentoring. I mentioned my struggles and they put me in contact with<br />

one of their students, Declan.<br />

Declan has been such a help, his ability to be productive right away and the<br />

ease in which he picked up new concepts was impressive. It really is a<br />

testament to the fact that vision college isn't just teaching specific<br />

technologies and theory, but rather empowering their students to become<br />

lifelong learners. In the software development industry, you never stop<br />

learning. There is always something new and better,<br />

and Declan has really proven himself more than capable of keeping up. I<br />

look forward to a long term relationship with Vision College and am already<br />

talking to another student<br />

there to help more.<br />

BUSY: Woolston Boxing coach Holly Sullivan will run the New<br />

Zealand Golden Gloves in June for the first time in six years.<br />

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />

Woolston to hold<br />

NZ Golden Gloves<br />

• By Jacob Page<br />

SPORT<br />

THE WOOLSTON Boxing<br />

Club will host the New Zealand<br />

Golden Gloves event on June 27.<br />

The national tournament is<br />

seen as one of the pinnacle events<br />

on the amateur boxing calendar<br />

each year.<br />

Woolston Boxing Club coach<br />

and tournament organiser Holly<br />

Sullivan said she wanted to host<br />

the event after seeing how successful<br />

it was in Rotorua last year.<br />

“We hosted it back in 2014 and I<br />

thought it was time we did it again.<br />

“Rotorua had 40 bouts but<br />

that’s with it being easier for the<br />

North Island boxers to travel to<br />

it so if I got 75 per cent of that I<br />

would be really happy.<br />

She said ideally each weight class<br />

would have two South Island boxers<br />

and two North Island boxers<br />

who would compete for the right to<br />

be called New Zealand No 1.<br />

It will be a busy year for the<br />

sport in the area with the club<br />

hosting the South Island novice<br />

championships in the lead-up to<br />

the big event on March 21 and 22.<br />

Sullivan said it would be her<br />

10th time running the South<br />

Island novice tournament which<br />

was Woolston’s traditional annual<br />

event.<br />

“It is certainly going to be a<br />

busy time but it is exciting.”<br />

Both events will be held at the<br />

Woolston Club.<br />

Record-breaking effort<br />

for cancer fundraiser<br />

CHRISTCHURCH Boys’<br />

High School’s rowing team<br />

has set a new world record and<br />

raised more than $22,000 for<br />

Leukaemia and Blood Cancer<br />

New Zealand in the process.<br />

Ed Lopas, a member of the<br />

school’s rowing team, was<br />

diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma<br />

– a form of blood cancer<br />

– last year. It was only fitting that<br />

the 16-year-old had the honour<br />

of finishing the last stint of the<br />

successful world record attempt<br />

last Tuesday. The team of 61 rowers<br />

set a new world record for the<br />

longest continual team erg (rowing<br />

machine) by a group aged<br />

under-19. Their time of 145hr<br />

10min smashed the previous<br />

record of 96hr.<br />

“It was pretty special having<br />

everyone cheer me on to the finish,”<br />

said Lopas.<br />

The team travelled a total<br />

distance of 1937km. On a map,<br />

their travels took them from<br />

school, north to Blenheim, west<br />

to Greymouth, south to Queenstown,<br />

east to Dunedin and up<br />

SH1 back to school.<br />

The school’s rowing manager<br />

Ricardo De Sousa said he’s been<br />

blown away by the team’s commitment<br />

to the record-breaking<br />

achievement.<br />

“The boys have been absolutely<br />

incredible. We thought it would<br />

be a bit of a headache trying to get<br />

team’s new world record of more than 145hr on the erg.<br />

boys on the egg at silly hours of<br />

the morning. It’s not the most fun<br />

thing to be on and the boys tend to<br />

shy away from it, but they wanted<br />

to do it for Ed,” said De Sousa.<br />

Senior rowers did shifts of<br />

90min with some of the movies<br />

doing shifts between 30-45min.<br />

The team began the world record<br />

big on <strong>February</strong> 5 and had<br />

surpassed the previous world<br />

record by the following Sunday<br />

afternoon.<br />

Ed was diagnosed with<br />

Hodgkin’s lymphoma in July last<br />

year.<br />

After five months of successful<br />

chemotherapy, Ed was cleared to<br />

start physical activity again and<br />

hopes to row at the Maadi Cup<br />

regatta on Lake Ruataniwha near<br />

Twizel next month.<br />

He’s not one to gossip but....<br />

No one is recognised as knowing more about Hollywood than<br />

celebrity journalist David Hartnell MNZM.<br />

He’s spent a lifetime reporting on Hollywood’s scandals of<br />

the rich and famous and counts a handful of celebrities as<br />

lifelong friends.<br />

Tuesday 25 <strong>February</strong>, 10am, is your chance to meet David and get the inside<br />

scoop on some of the outrageous gossip he can’t print in his columns.<br />

Tasty Bites<br />

SOUTHERN VIEW<br />

No more beeting around the bush<br />

• By Ian Knott<br />

Beetroot deserves so<br />

much more than being<br />

dumped from a can onto<br />

a green salad. Packed<br />

with essential nutrients,<br />

this vibrant vegetable is a<br />

great source of fibre, folate,<br />

manganese, potassium,<br />

iron, and vitamin C<br />

Beetroot and halloumi<br />

sliders with chilli jam<br />

Serves 4<br />

Ingredients<br />

400g tin chickpeas, rinsed and<br />

drained<br />

1 tsp ground cumin<br />

1-2 hot green chillis, finely<br />

chopped<br />

250g raw beetroot, peeled and<br />

grated (wear gloves to avoid<br />

staining your hands)<br />

2 Tbsp chopped parsley<br />

50g fresh wholemeal<br />

breadcrumbs<br />

1 egg<br />

olive oil<br />

Halloumi 1 slice per slider<br />

Handful of rocket<br />

8 or 12 small buns (brioche if you<br />

can get them), split and cut side<br />

toasted<br />

Chilli jam to serve<br />

Directions<br />

Put the chickpeas in a bowl<br />

and mash them roughly, add<br />

the cumin and chilli and mash<br />

again. Add the beetroot, parsley,<br />

breadcrumbs, egg and plenty of<br />

seasoning. Mix well and form into<br />

8 or 12 small patties.<br />

Heat about 1cm of oil in a<br />

frying pan and fry the patties on<br />

each side until they are crisp and<br />

brown. Drain on kitchen paper.<br />

Fry the halloumi briefly until it<br />

starts to brown a little. Put a few<br />

rocket leaves on the base of each<br />

bun, add a patty and a slice of<br />

halloumi followed by a spoon<br />

of chilli jam then put the lid on.<br />

A cocktail stick will hold the lot<br />

together. Serve 2 or 3 per person.<br />

Roast beetroot soup with<br />

caramelised onion and blue<br />

cheese toast<br />

Serves 6<br />

Ingredients<br />

1kg beetroots, topped, tailed,<br />

scrubbed clean and cut into large<br />

pieces<br />

1 red onion, cut into wedges<br />

3 cloves garlic<br />

½ a small bunch of thyme, plus a<br />

few leaves<br />

500ml vegetable stock<br />

100ml crème fraîche<br />

½ lemon, juiced<br />

For the toast<br />

3 slices sourdough, cut in half<br />

4 Tbsp caramelised onion<br />

chutney<br />

150g blue cheese<br />

handful of walnuts, roughly<br />

chopped<br />

Directions<br />

Heat the oven to 200 deg C<br />

(<strong>18</strong>0 deg C fan forced). Put the<br />

beetroots, red onion and garlic<br />

into a roasting tin, pour in 150ml<br />

of water, season well and scatter<br />

over the thyme. Cover with a<br />

double layer of foil and put into<br />

the oven for 1hr 15min or until<br />

the beetroots are very tender to<br />

the point of a knife.<br />

Remove the foil, peel the<br />

beetroots and discard the skin,<br />

then chop into small pieces. Put<br />

into a pan with the onion, garlic<br />

and vegetable stock, bring to the<br />

boil then use a hand blender to<br />

whizz until completely smooth,<br />

or ladle into a blender and whizz.<br />

Season, then stir in the crème<br />

fraîche and lemon juice, and<br />

whizz again. Keep warm.<br />

Heat the grill to high. Put the<br />

bread pieces onto a baking tray<br />

and toast on either side. Spread<br />

each piece with the chutney and<br />

then add a piece of blue cheese,<br />

some thyme leaves and walnuts.<br />

Grill until melted.<br />

Spoon the soup into bowls and<br />

top with the toast.
