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

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.”

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

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.
