Six weeks with no hot pools 

HE PUNA Taimoana will close 

temporarily to allow scheduled 

maintenance work to be 

carried out. 

From February 16, the 

New Brighton hot pools will 

be closed to the public so 

improvements can be made in 

and around the pools. 

The facility is expected to 

re-open on March 31. 

He Puna Taimoana manager 

Merryn Skipper (right) 

said the closure was part 

of a two-yearly planned 

maintenance schedule to 

ensure the facility is fit 

for purpose. 

“We’ll be using this 

six weeks to carry out 

improvement work onsite, 

particularly maintaining and 

replacing pool equipment to 

ensure they continue to 

run well.” 

Skipper said visitors 

will need to be patient 

while the work is carried 

out. 

“We know how much 

people love visiting He 

Puna Taimoana and, while 

there is never a good time 

PHOTO: NEWSLINE 

to shut our doors, this is our 

quietest period. It is important 

to give this well-used facility 

the maintenance it requires to 

keep it running efficiently and 

safely for customers and staff to 

enjoy. The team looks forward 

to welcoming you back soon.” 

Bookings will be available 

for the reopening date from 

next week.

Sleeping 

couple 

targeted 

by rock 

throwing 

vandals 

• By Nathan Morton 

A SHOCKED couple are wondering 

why they were the victims of an 

overnight attack in which a large 

rock was thrown through their 

window. 

Kaveh Mazloomi and his wife 

had just gone to sleep when the 

20cm by 16cm rock smashed 

through the window and landed 

right next to his wife’s head. 

Mazloomi said they woke to the 

sound of a large bang just after 

midnight on Friday. 

“It was (a) windy night, so I 

thought it was lightning next to my 

house,” he said. 

“I had my wife screaming. We 

turned on the lights to see glass all 

over the bed.” 

Mazloomi didn’t spot the rock at 

first as a draft coming through the 

large gaping hole in the window was 

blowing the curtains. It wasn’t until 

the curtains were pulled back that 

the rock was found. 

Photos taken by Mazloomi show 

glass strewn across the bed and 

glass lying on one of their pillows. 

“(The rock) was pretty large – 

it couldn’t have been a kid that 

threw it.” 

The couple live on Pony Lane, a 

no-exit street off Domain Tce in 

Spreydon. It is a quiet street with 

barely any traffic in the area.

$60k to make sure youngsters 

‘reach their potential’ on court 

TENNIS Canterbury has been 

granted $60,000 to get more 

people playing the sport. 

General manager Bevan 

Johns said the grant will allow 

the organisation to focus on 

participation and development 

initiatives to ensure young 

talented players “reach their 

potential at all levels.” 

“Tennis Canterbury delivers 

services to over 7000 members 

and a further 

30,000-plus 

participants 

in various 

programmes 

and casual 

participation 

Bevan 

opportunities.” 

The funding 

from New Zealand 

Johns 

Community Trust aims to keep 

participation costs down and 

remove barriers to participation, 

Johns said. 

“Tennis Canterbury is about 

making it easy for everyone to 

discover or re-discover tennis 

and to help our players find 

enjoyment through tennis for 

life.” 

The grant will help the 

organisation run its beginner 

hotshots programme and 

get juniors to national and 

international competitions. 

“During the current season we 

trialled the first iteration of the 

Canterbury player development 

programme in preparation for 

the annual national teams event. 

The region’s top six girls and six 

boys in the 12U, 14U and 17U 

age groups got together weekly 

to practice and prepare for the 

event. Training included doubles 

strategy, mental preparation, 

fitness and nutrition planning.” 

The grant will help Canterbury 

players like Lucia Gale who 

won the national under-14 title, 

beating fellow Cantabrian Dallas 

King-Ehau in the final. Lucia 

also took out the doubles title 

and competed at the under-16 

nationals where she won the 

doubles. 

Alvin Na won the under-12 

boys singles and doubles final, 

while Aliyah Daly won the 

under-12 girls doubles. 

Five Canterbury players, 

TALENT: The 

grant will 

help young 

tennis players, 

including 

Lucia Gale 

(above) who 

won the 

national 

under-14 title. 

including Lucia, took part in the 

national teams competition in 

Australia last year. 

The funding will go towards 

the New Zealand regional 

programme for 11 to 14-yearolds, 

run by coach Stuart 

Chalmers at Wilding Park. 

It brings the best players in 

Canterbury together to train 

with experts in strength and 

conditioning and other aspects 

of the game. Said Chalmers: 

“This programme ensures 

opportunities for our junior 

players to train together. We 

are now looking to extend it 

for players in the 15-plus age 

bracket. We need to keep these 

young talented players in the 

game.” 

Tennis Canterbury also has 

a strong wheelchair tennis 

community. Travis Moffat won 

the recent national singles title 

and Glenn Barnes was runnerup. 

The two went on to win the 

doubles championship. Seniors 

tennis is also strong in the region 

and there are programmes for 

players in the Tongan tennis 

community. 

With more than 500 juniors 

and 550 adults competing in 

summer interclub across the 

region, Tennis Canterbury relies 

on its small number of staff and 

network of clubs, coaches and 

volunteers to grow the game.

‘You don’t expect this to happen’ 

SMASH: The large 20cm-long rock was thrown through 

Kaveh Mazloomi’s bedroom window and landed right next 

to his wife’s head. 

•From page 1 

Mazloomi said the couple do 

not have any enemies and have 

been living in the city for the past 

two years. 

He had no idea how or why the 

rock was thrown through their 

window. 

“I can’t emphasise enough, the 

window they threw it through 

was the most impractical window 

to target,” he said. 

“If you wanted to break into a 

house or check out what’s inside, 

it’s the last window you would 

choose. I have no idea why it 

happened.” 

The couple called the police 

and submitted a report on the 

incident. 

Mazloomi and his wife are 

both working professionals and 

say they have not spent enough 

time in the area determine 

whether it is safe or not. 

“I hear and read stuff, but you 

don’t expect this to happen to 

you,” he said. 

“I’m probably going to need to 

do something – I just don’t know 

what to do. I can’t stop people 

from throwing things at my 

window so something needs to 

be done, I just haven’t thought it 

through yet.”

A word from Ilam MP 

Sarah 

Pallett 

I hope you have had a fantastic start to 

2023. It’s shaping up to be another very 

busy year and I’m excited to continue 

working hard for Ilam. 

As many of you will be aware, I have 

been engaging with the community 

and liaising with Spark on behalf 

of local residents, businesses, and 

recreational users to work towards a 

solution to the network connection 

issues for customers in the McLeans 

Island area. 

The lack of adequate cell phone 

coverage has had a daily impact on 

a wide range of organisations and 

visitors to McLeans Island. I have been 

particularly concerned by the health 

and safety issues, the limitations on 

businesses and organisations, and the 

impact on events. 

Therefore, I am absolutely delighted 

to share that Spark has committed to 

building a new site to resolve this issue. 

The acquisition of the site is to begin 

early this year, with construction to 

occur in the July 2023 – June 2024 

financial year. I am so pleased with 

the positive engagement from Spark 

and their willingness to take action to 

resolve this. 

I really appreciate the input of all those 

in the community who reached out to 

me to discuss their experiences with 

the cell phone coverage issue. I have 

been told that the information and 

testimonies which I gathered from the 

community and passed on to Spark 

have been critical in the decisionmaking 

process. 

As always, I’m here to help. I will be 

holding regular constituent clinics 

throughout the electorate, please get in 

touch with my office on 0800 727 244 

to book a spot in a clinic near you.

Wrap up summer’s best in a sandwich 

Nigel Slater whips up a 

slow and easy focaccia 

for summer, and a 

dreamy vegan filling to 

complement it 

Olive and rosemary 

focaccia 

Serves 4 

Ingredients 

400ml warm water 

2 tsp easy-bake dried yeast 

1 tsp sea salt 

1 tsp caster sugar 

500g strong white bread flour 

6 Tbsp olive oil, plus a little 

extra 

125g green or lemon-marinated 

olives, stoned 

1 Tbsp rosemary leaves 

Sea salt flakes to finish 

A high-sided baking dish 

Directions 

Put the water and yeast into a 

large mixing bowl and add the 

salt and sugar. Mix in the flour 

either by hand or with a wooden 

spatula. Add 2 tablespoons of 

the olive oil and mix loosely into 

the dough. Cover the bowl with 

a cloth and refrigerate overnight. 

(The dough will need a good 

eight hours.) 

Next day, when the dough has 

risen somewhat (don’t expect it 

to be as high as if you had proved 

it in a warm place) halve the 

olives and chop the rosemary 

leaves and mix them into the 

dough along with another 2 tablespoons 

of the olive oil. Lightly 

oil the baking tin and turn the 

dough out into the tin. Push the 

dough out to fit the tin with your 

fist, gently pushing it almost 

into the corners – it will swell 

during second proving – then 

wrap the tin in a cloth and place 

in a warm spot for a good hour, 

perhaps two, until it has risen to 

twice its size. 

Set the oven at 220degC. 

When the oven is ready, use a 

floured finger to push several 

hollows into the dough, then 

scatter the surface lightly with 

sea salt flakes and bake for 30 

minutes until golden. Remove 

from the oven, pour the remaining 

oil over the surface, then 

release from its tin with a palette 

knife. 

Roast aubergine and 

preserved lemon 

sandwiches 

Serves 4 

Ingredients 

3 medium to large aubergines 

(about 800g) 

4 Tbsp olive oil 

3 cloves garlic 

PHOTO: GETTY 

1 small preserved lemon 

12 basil leaves 

1 focaccia (see recipe) 

2 handfuls rocket 

Directions 

Warm 4 tablespoons of oil in 

a shallow pan over a moderate 

heat. Add the aubergines scoredside 

down, tuck the unpeeled 

garlic cloves around them, then 

let the aubergines fry for 4-5 

minutes until the cut sides are 

starting to take on a pale golden 

colour. You may need to do this 

in two pans or in relay. Turn the 

aubergines over, using a palette 

knife then pour 100ml of water 

7 

into the pan. (Keep a lid handy 

to deal with the spluttering.) 

Cover with a lid, lower the 

heat and continue cooking for 

10 minutes until the aubergine 

flesh is soft and silky. Check it is 

cooked right through by prizing 

the flesh apart with a spoon. 

Remove from the heat and 

allow to cool. Lift the cloves of 

garlic from the pan, scrape their 

flesh from the skins and put it 

in a bowl. Crush the cloves to a 

paste with a spoon or fork. Using 

a tablespoon, slide the aubergine 

flesh from its skin into the garlic 

bowl. Pour in any juices from the 

pan – there won’t be a lot – then 

mash together with a fork. 

Remove and discard the flesh 

from inside the preserved lemon, 

then chop the skin very finely. 

Add to the aubergine. Shred the 

basil leaves and stir in. Taste for 

seasoning. You may need a little 

black pepper. 

To fill the focaccia: using a 

long, sharp bread knife, slice the 

bread in half vertically to give 

two rectangles then cut each in 

half horizontally. Remove the 

top half of each, then cover the 

bottom half with the mashed 

aubergine and rocket leaves. 

Place the upper halves on top 

and press gently down. Leave for 

a good half hour, for the juices 

to soak in to the bread, then cut 

into slices at the table.
