Thousands explore Rapaki trails
THOUSANDS OF mountain
bikers and walkers have
explored two new trails above
the lower half of Rapaki Track
over the summer break.
The Elevator dual-direction
mountain bike trail and
Kowhai walking trail opened in
early December – and
regional parks manager
Kay Holder says they’re helping
ease the pressure on the busy
track.“Rapaki Track is one of
the most popular routes in the
Port Hills, but in the past there
have been safety issues as some
mountain bikers came down
at high speeds and caused
conflicts with walkers and
runners,” she said.
“With both the Elevator and
Kowhai trails opened in time
for the summer break, we’ve
noticed a significant decrease
in traffic on Rapaki Track itself
as walkers and mountain bikers
explore and use the new trails.”

Big rock
hurled
through
window
lands next
to head
• By Nathan Morton
A SHOCKED Spreydon 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. It is a
quiet street with barely any traffic in
the area.

‘You don’t expect this to happen’
•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

“I hear and read stuff, but you

Trails prove
popular
with walkers
and riders
•From page 1
Said Holder: “We’re really
pleased with the positive response
we’ve received to these new trails
and to see thousands of people
enjoying them over the Christmas
holiday period.”
Both trails begin on the lefthand
side of the track, about
100m above the end of the
tarsealed road.
The intermediate-level Elevator
trail climbs and joins the existing
Taramea mountain bike loop
track. The Kowhai track leads to
the top of Montgomery Spur.
Both trails then rejoin Rapaki
Track about halfway up near the
stockyards. The two new trails
were built by contractors and
volunteers over winter and spring.
A public consultation process
and a hearings panel held before
the trails were created saw more
than 300 individuals and groups
provide their feedback on the
plans.

$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.
TALENT:
The grant
will help
young tennis
players,
including
Lucia Gale
(above) who
won the
national
under-14 title.
Five Canterbury players,
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.
Hot pools closing for maintenance
HE PUNA Taimona is closing
temporarily so scheduled
maintenance work can be carried
out.
From Thursday, February 16 the
New Brighton hot pools will be
closing its doors to the public to
allow improvements to be made in
and around the pools.
It is expected to re-open on
Friday, March 31, 2023.
He Puna Taimoana manager
Merryn Skipper said the closure
was part of a two-yearly planned
maintenance schedule to ensure
the facility was 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 thanked visitors for
their patience while the work was
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.”
Bookings will be available for
the reopening date onwards the
end of January.

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
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.
