Six personal bests: Luka
blazes a trail in the pool
• By Jaime Cunningham
LUKA WILLEMS has qualified
for the Virtus Global Games,
after a successful six weeks of
international competion as the
only Down Syndrome athlete
representing the country in the
pool.
The Jellie Park JASI club
athlete was the first and only
New Zealander to compete at
the World Down Syndrome
Championships in Portugal
last month, celebrating his 20th
birthday as well as six personal
bests in eight races over the six
days.
Although sometimes he
“wanted to go home,” Willems,
of Papanui, produced some
strong results, particularly
in the T21 senior 50m
breaststroke, where he finished
13th.
“My breaststroke is really
improving, and I like it more
and more,” he said.
Shortly after the Portugal
event, he was one of 15 New
Zealanders to participate in the
Virtus Oceania Asia Games in
Brisbane.
As the first Kiwi athlete to
compete in the II-2 (Down
Syndrome) category, Willems
certainly made his mark,
winning bronze in the 50m
freestyle as well as gaining three
fourth placings in the games.
He has now qualified for the
2023 Virtus Global Games.

travelled with the 13-strong
swimming team to Brisbane
and said
they
did an “amazing
job”.

Luka set
for global
games after
making a
splash
• From page 1
The three-time Paralympic
gold medallist said Willems is
a “unique” athlete in the way
he is “blazing a trail for others
living with Down Syndrome and
swimming”.
“While as a swimming nation
we are very early into our Down
Syndrome inclusion, we are
committed to helping Luka
and the next generation of
swimmers with Down Syndrome
who haven’t made it into our
competitive events as yet,” Leslie
said.
Willems’ mother Anqelique van
der Velden said without Leslie’s
help, the opportunity for Willems
to compete at the Virtus Games
“wouldn’t have happened”.
“He is trying to open up
accessibility for swimming
athletes with disabilities at an elite
level. It’s so awesome.”
For Willems, it’s just the start
of a successful international
swimming career, as he begins
preparations for the Virtus Global
Games, held in France next year.
“I hope my journey inspires
people to do something new and
maybe challenging too.”
Part of Ilam Rd closed
for cycleway repairs
A SHORT section of Ilam
Rd will be closed for a week
as part of the cycleway is
repaired.
For the contractor to finish
the work as quickly as
possible, the road near the
intersections of Kirkwood
and Rountree Aves will be
shut to traffic from Saturday
to December 11.
“During the cycleway
resurfacing works that were
completed earlier this year,
the road wasn’t showing signs
of failure. Since then we have
we found significant cracking
in an area from 71 Ilam
Rd for around 80m south to
the paved threshold near the
Kirkwood Ave intersection.
“This has worsened over
time with the volume of daily
traffic, including buses and
trucks,” city council transport
planning and delivery manager
Jacob Bradbury said.
“We carried out tests and
discovered there wasn’t
enough gravel beneath the
asphalt, so we need to remediate
that.”
Traffic detours will be
in place, while pedestrian
and cycle access will be
maintained through the
closure.
“We know it’s not ideal
having to come back to do
repairs in a short space of
time so we really want to
thank residents and those at
the University of Canterbury
for their patience,” Bradbury
said.

This is a belated thanks from me for the efforts of you and your team in the
sale of Conifer Place.
You did an outstanding job of marketing the property and Mark really
appreciated the work you did on the day of the auction to get the sale over
the line at a price I was more than happy with.
Apologies for the lateness of this acknowledgement, but once again, a
big thanks to you and the team at Harcourts Gold!

Packed with the spirit of Christmas
• By Natalie Pham
THIS YEAR marks the fifth
annual Christmas giveaway by
Furnitoyz – a Hornby-based
company that makes children’s
toys and furniture by hand.
Furnitoyz has delivered a new
mud kitchen and 30 backpacks
filled with essential school supplies
to Pareawa Banks Avenue
School, after the school was the
lucky winner of its giveaway.
Owner Michelle Dickie said it
was a chance to give back to the
community.
Since opening Furnitoyz, the
former pre-school teacher and
her husband Euan have been
trying to have a giveaway every
year.
“Last year we were watching
the news . . . and people were
struggling to get schoolbags
and all the bits and bobs that
go along with it to get kids into
school,” she said.
“So we thought this year, we
will see if we can do roughly a
classroom-size worth of schoolbags.”
The giveaway, which was
open to all schools across New
Zealand, received more than 150
entries.
Pareawa Banks Avenue School
principal Toni Burnside said it
was nice for some pupils to get a
bit extra at this time of year.
“We are proud of our school
and our tamariki. And it’s nice
GIVEAWAY: Ebony-Rose (left) and Claire, with two of the backpacks won by Pareawa
Banks Avenue School. Top right – Furnitoyz owner Michelle Dickie (left) with principal Toni

to have that positive community
recognition. We know that when
our tamariki get those backpacks,
they will be so excited,”
she said.
Two pupils from each class
who represent the school’s values
will be selected to receive the
backpacks.
Burnside said there will also be
a small, added criteria.
“We know some of the children
in those classes need a wee
‘pick me up’. Things are tough
at the moment for families and
the community, so teachers will
be looking through that lens as
well.”
The new mud kitchen is now
ready to go, but has not yet been
installed in the school playground.
Said Burnside: “To get that
as part of the prize, it’s amazing.
Our juniors love playing with
water and pretending to make
plates.”
Last year, Furnitoyz also
donated three pallets of foods
and hygiene products to
Christchurch, Auckland and
Wellington city missions.

Home for sale with its own football pitch
• By Nikki Preston
A NEAR-NEW characterinspired
home in Cashmere
kicks all others out of the
park and could even become a
training ground for an up-andcoming
football star.
The four-bedroom, two-bathroom
home at 156 Hackthorne
Rd is gaining fans not only for
its colonial-inspired modern
twist but also for its 125 sq m
astro-turf in the backyard.
Scottish-born Darren Bruce
built the home for his family
three years ago and said they
wanted to combine the best
attributes of warm United Kingdom
homes, while also admiring
New Zealand’s character weatherboard
houses.
Totem Architects was enlisted
to design the solid heritagestyle
weatherboard home with
wooden detailing and a raft of
mod cons including a hydronic
in-slab heating system, Earthwool
insulation, a 10.5Kw twoway
solar system, an ultra-low
emission wood burner, two heat
pump and Argon-filled timber
windows.
Bruce’s own building firm BD
Construction then took a year to
build the house on the sloping
Cashmere section which, according
to OneRoof property records,
was purchased in June 2018 for
$525,614.
The existing house was demolished
to make way for the new
home and large retaining walls
were put up to create a large flat
area for the astro-turf.
The house was completed at
the end of 2020.
“We’ve got a boy who is addicted
to football so the astro-turf
pitch just seemed like the best
thing to do to keep them busy,”
Bruce said.
And while he admits they may
have underestimated the cost of
building an artificial pitch, the
end result has provided hours of
entertainment for his kids.
“Obviously we were a little bit
naïve about how much it would
actually cost to do it, but they
love it because it’s just used so
much. We’ve got kids here all the
time because it’s here.
“It doesn’t get bogged down,
doesn’t get muddy so the kids are
on it all the time.”
The high nets also mean the
ball stays on the right side of the
property, he said.
Bruce said the property is perfect
for entertaining and would
suit a family with two or three
children.
“They would love having awesome
views, but also conscious
that the electricity bills are pretty
low because of the way it is built
and the solar and that.”
Bruce said, even though they
had “spent everything on the
house”, he now has his sights

Rd property

and stylish

on a renovation project with a
bigger section so they could have
not only an astro-turf but also a
workshop and enough parking
for his caravan and boat.
“If we can get the same and
still be able to bring the caravan
back that would be perfect.”
Harcourts Grenadier listing
agent Fernanda Hammett, who
is set to auction the home next
month, said the football pitch
is proving a big hit at the open
homes.
A family with three boys
attended an open home at the
weekend when it was pouring
down with rain and she said they
raced straight down to play on it.
“They didn’t even care it was
raining, they just kept playing
because you don’t get dirty do
you, it’s artificial grass.
“It’s amazing that you get to
have this kind of backyard in
your own home plus you have
a view – you have everything
there.”
Parents can sit under the veranda
and unwind while watching
the kids play on the turf, she
said, or relax in the spa in the
undercover pergola at the back of
the section.
In spite of being on a hill and
having views over Christchurch
city, the section itself is flat and
the house is both warm with
underfloor heating and solar
panels.
“It’s an economical house and
it is very good for the environment.”
It had also been beautifully
crafted with impressive attention
to detail, she said.
“Everything is new, but has a
character feel.”

at the signage on one of the main
routes from Lincoln to Halswell.
Now they say a temporary speed
sign which was put up on Trices Rd
near the bend with Sabys last week
takes the cake.
Motorists heading from Sabys onto
Trices towards Lincoln and Prebbleton
would have seen a 30km/h sign as
maintenance work was carried out.
But the other side of the sign, which
was for motorists heading on Trices
towards Sabys read 80.
A 30km/h temporary sign was
also put up on Ellesmere Rd close to
the tricky Trices Rd bend, meaning
motorists travelling in that direction
were first confronted with a temporary
30 sign, then the permanent 35km/h
sign on the bend, then the confusing
80 sign, followed by the permanent
60km/h sign and then the permanent
25 sign at the Trices, Sabys bend – all
within about 250m of each other.
The confusing 80 sign was removed
the day after it was put up.
“Traffic management? More like
traffic mis-management,” a motorist
told Western News.
“No different to further back on
Ellesmere by Tosswill Rd.’’
Near that junction, motorists
travelling towards Halswell on
Ellesmere Rd have a 45km/h sign
warning of a bend at Tosswill Rd,
followed shortly after by an 80 sign,
and then the 45 warning sign on the
bend itself.
“So we have a 45 sign then an 80 and
then just after that its 45 again at the
bend. Crazy,” the motorist said.
Above – The temporary 80km/h sign and the permanent 60 and 25 signage
on Trices Rd near Sabys, and below the 45 followed by the 80 with another
45km/h sign further along Ellesmere Rd.

Young tennis stars to play on big stage
FOUR YOUNG tennis players
have earned the opportunity
to play centre-court in a new
tournament in the lead up to
Auckland’s ASB Classic early
next year.
Bishopdale players Aliyah
Daly, 11, and Nicholas Rayner,
12, along with Burnside Park’s
Sakeri Parnell, 13, will compete
in the Road to the ASB Classic
competition in January after
qualifying through regional
playoffs last week. Cashmere’s
Emmeline Gale, 11, has also
qualified.
The inaugural Road to the ASB
Classic is presented by Jaguar
and the Lavie Tennis Academy, a
performance tennis organisation
based in Auckland.
The tournament consists
of players under the age of 14
from all areas of the country
competing in a 16-player pool,
with finals of the competition
being played before the ASB
Classic men’s singles final on
January 14.
Academy founder and owner
Sebastian Lavie said the organisation
is “delighted” to give
young tennis players the opportunity
to compete on the courts
of the ASB Classic.

Apprentice baker’s swift rise to the top
• By Natalie Pham
EMILY BAILLIE was in the
third year of her apprenticeship
when she rose to become the
best young bread baker in the
country.
The 20-year-old said she
never expected to win the New
Zealand Association of Bakers
competition.
“I was in shock. I was the
youngest competitor with the
least experience and I thought
my competitors would win it. I
actually almost cried.”
Besides the title, Baillie was
also awarded a $10,000 research
grant.
This year, there were four
craft bakers and two plant bread
bakers taking part in the twoday
competition in Auckland,
which included a presentation on
a given topic, a 90-minute theory
test and a five-hour baking
session.
Each participant was required
to make a range of breads,
including two loaves of white
sandwich bread, two different
types of white loaves, four
different types of smallgoods,
two variety loaves of grain or
wholemeal bread, and four
different types of sweet bun.
Baillie said recipes for the
breads were given two months
before the competition so
participants could memorise and
use them on the day.
However, there were many
things that could affect the result
of the breads, in spite of having
the same recipe.
“My competitor had the same
recipe, but she didn’t know them.
So in one of the breads, it was
supposed to be 1.5 per cent salt
but she put 1 per cent salt. Little
things like that can really affect
the bread and how it works,”
Baillie said.
“It’s also personal skills like
how you shaped it, how you mix
it, how long you let it rest for – all
sorts of different things.”
The young baker is now
planning to represent New
Zealand at the prestigious LA
Judge Awards in 2024 – a threeday
competition recognising the
best young baking apprentices in
Australia and New Zealand.
Baillie discovered her love for
baking in a one-year cooking
course, which then led to an
apprenticeship with a bakery in

baker after winning a two-day competition in Auckland
with this delicious selection. She also received a $10,000
research grant as part of the award. PHOTO: STAR MEDIA
Hokitika in her final year of
high school.
Six months later, she moved
to Christchurch to broaden her
horizons. Since then, Baillie has
been working at the Bohemian
Bakery.
So far, the unusual working
hours have been the biggest
challenge.
“It’s not normal to wake up
and get to work at 1am. It’s
definitely a challenge to change
your body clock completely and
working at a completely different
time to everybody around you.
“It’s a bit hard to have any type
of social life,” she said.
The $10,000 award will go towards
a baking course overseas.
However, Baillie has not decided
where to go yet.
At the moment, she is looking
to specialise in pastry after
completing her qualification in
baking.

Start a new
Christmas tradition
What could be better than starting some new family traditions this year? Christmas traditions are memories
in the making and help spread a little festive cheer whether with your loved ones or out in the community.
10 great ideas to help make Christmas a magical time of the year
1. Create a Christmas playlist with some of
your favourite carols and songs – play it
loud and every day, if that’s your thing.
Or plan a pre-Christmas sing-along
evening – don’t forget to supply the song
sheet so everyone can join in too.
2. Get into the spirit of Christmas by getting
together with family or friends to help
decorate each other’s houses – turn up
the music, drink the wine and go all out
to deck the halls.
3. Make and send homemade Christmas
cards – there’s nothing more exciting
than getting mail, right? Or how about
writing some generic ones and dropping
them into your nearest retirement
home to brighten up an elderly person’s
Christmas.
4. Buy your family Christmas tee-shirts or
Santa hats to wear on the day and don’t
forget to take a family selfie.
5. Fill a shoebox with gifts for a child, wrap
it with a bow, and deliver to the nearest
community gift tree – check with your
local library and label with age and
gender.
6. Have a yearly family, friends or neighbour
outdoor games night with drinks and
nibbles leading up to the big day – think
Pétanque, hoopla, mini golf, giant chess,
or croquet.
7. Take a leaf out of Iceland’s traditional
‘Jolabokaflod’ or Christmas Book Flood,
and give a book as a gift on Christmas
Eve each year – don’t forget to write
inside the cover who it’s from and the
date.
8. Make a list of must see Christmas movies
to watch a week before Christmas day
and tick off the ones you’ve watched.
Don’t forget the popcorn and hot
chocolate or nibbles and wine.
9. Make and give a handmade ornament
as a gift each year – the lucky receiver’s
Christmas tree will be covered with
beautiful, handmade memories.
10. Make homemade hot chocolate on
Christmas Eve or on Christmas morning
to drink while the presents are being
opened – decorate with whipped cream,
grated chocolate, marshmallows, or
crushed candy canes.

Potato gnocchi with
roasted tomato sauce
Serves 4
Ingredients
Roasted tomato sauce:
1.5kg tomatoes, halved
Shredded beetroot,
onion, apples and
capsicum make a
delicious combination.
4 each: garlic cloves, thyme
sprigs
1 sprig rosemary
2 tbsp olive oil
Flaky sea salt and freshly
ground black pepper to taste
Gnocchi:
500g floury potatoes
1 cup plain flour
1 egg, lightly beaten
1-2 tbsp olive oil
Directions
To make roasted tomato sauce,
preheat oven to 180 deg C. Place
all ingredients in a large roasting
pan. Roast for about 45min or
until tomatoes are soft and pulpy
and starting to caramelise. Cool
a little, then puree in a blender
and pass through a sieve. Reheat
when required. Makes about
three cups.
Meanwhile, prepare the gnocchi.
Peel and chop potatoes. Boil
in salted water, until soft. Drain
well and mash.
Beat flour and egg into potato
in the saucepan. Mix until a soft
dough forms. Add a little more
flour if too soft. Knead until
smooth and sticking together.
This could take up to five minutes.
Divide dough into four. Roll
out on a lightly floured bench to
form long skinny sausages, about
2cm in diameter.
Cut into 2cm-long pieces.
The tops can be indented with a
fork.
Bring a large saucepan of salted
water to the boil. Gently poach
gnocchi in batches until they rise
to the surface.
Drain and drizzle with a little
olive oil to prevent sticking. Serve
topped with roasted tomato
sauce.
Great finished with freshly

Directions
Preheat oven to 200 deg C.
Boil or steam kumara until
just tender. Meanwhile, trim
asparagus and cut into 2cm
lengths.
Add to kumara during the last
two minutes of cooking.
Halve peppers lengthwise.
Remove ribs and seeds. Brush
with olive oil.
Place on a baking paper-lined
tray and bake for two to three
minutes until slightly softened.
Combine kumara, asparagus
and rocket with pesto and
seasonings. Spoon into peppers.

MISSING
Our lovely cat has been missing since
6th November and was last seen on
Leicester Crescent, Hoon Hay on the
16th November.
HAVE YOU
SEEN HER?
She is recognisable
as her eye is weeping
and looks sore.
She will be scared as she has always lived on a
quiet farm until we brought her into the city.
If you see her can you please phone us as soon
as you can on 0274 330 616 or try to encourage
her to come inside for some food. Thank you.

We’re resurfacing a section of Ilam Road near Kirkwood Avenue from
Saturday 3 December until Sunday 11 December.

Detours will be in place so please allow extra travel time.
Pedestrian and cycle access will be available through the closure.
We know road works are disruptive for you and we’ll get out

Who can you trust with your hearing?
Hearing loss can creep up on you very
gradually, quite often over several years.
The first signs of this are often a reduction
in speech clarity, or difficulties conversing
with people in social situations, such as a
restaurant or family gathering. Other early
signs are ringing in the ears (tinnitus) or a
gradual increase in your TV volume level.
These issues can be very frustrating, and
are quite often first noticed by your family.
Hear Again have extensive experience of
helping to overcome hearing difficulties.
From a simple check to see if your ears
are blocked with wax, to the provision and
highly personalized fine tuning of the very
latest hearing devices; the professional,
friendly team are here to help, even if you
need to be seen on a weekend.
We take the time to listen to you and do
everything at your pace. There is a reason
we have so many 5 star Google reviews.
Come have a chat with us at The Hub,
418 Main South Road, Hornby, next to
Japan Mart from Monday to Saturday.
