Strongman 

lifts his 

game 

to the 

next level 

PERSONAL TRAINER Malcolm 

Dixon-Searle is now ranked 

among the strongest men in 

Australasia. 

The 21-year-old finished second 

at the globally renowned 

weightlifting competition, 

Australia’s Strongest International 

Showdown, at Yapeen in central 

Victoria. 

“It was such a life-changing 

and humbling experience,” 

Dixon-Searle said. 

The competition pits some of 

the strongest men and women 

from across the world against 

each other to battle it out in five 

rigorous events: The Ukraine 

deadlift, overhead medley, frame 

carry conans wheel, backwards 

drag arm over arm, and atlas 

stone run. 

“To go up against top athletes 

on the world stage takes incredible 

discipline and endurance. I 

trained over six hours a day to 

achieve the elite strength needed 

to compete at an international 

level,” Dixon-Searle said.

STATS: Drivers on a restricted licence are seven times more 

likely to be involved in a fatal or serious injury crash than 

other drivers, said city council transport operations manager 

Stephen Wright. PHOTOS: NEWSLINE, MARJORIE COOK/ODT 

Crash Bash aims to keep drivers safe 

THE DANGERS of open roads 

and driving to the conditions are 

the focuses of this year’s Crash 

Bash programme. 

The Crash Bash road safety 

education programme is 

rolling out across Christchurch 

schools with the aim of keeping 

teenagers safe on the open road. 

The programme tours secondary 

schools as an interactive 

stage performance with actors 

from the Court Theatre. 

This year, Crash Bash 

celebrates its 30th year touring 

schools, with the focus on the 

dangers of open roads and 

driving to the conditions. The 

performance is targeted at Year 

11 to 13 students. 

“Poor handling and speed are 

our contributing factors in fatal 

crashes involving young drivers 

and many of these crashes occur 

on the open road. So that is 

why we have decided to make 

it a focus of this year’s Crash 

Bash,” said city council transport 

operations manager Stephen 

Wright. 

“We want 

young people to 

be aware of the 

risks that come 

with driving 

too fast and to 

understand that 

the choices they 

make when they 

Stephen 

Wright 

get behind the wheel of a car 

have consequences – potentially 

life changing consequences,” he 

said. 

“The sad reality is that drivers 

on a restricted licence are seven 

times more likely to be involved 

in a fatal or serious injury crash 

than other drivers. 

“Data also shows that young 

restricted drivers are more at 

risk of having a serious crash in 

the first six to twelve months of 

driving solo on their restricted 

licence than at any other time in 

their lives. 

“We want our young drivers 

to stay safe on the roads. Crash 

Bash will hopefully make them 

think about how they are driving 

and how they can avoid risky 

situations.” 

Crash Bash is funded by the 

city council and developed by the 

Court Theatre in collaboration 

with Canterbury Police.

Bus fire lights up southern motorway 

• By Nathan Morton 

A BUS caught fire on the 

southern motorway last 

Thursday morning. 

When firefighters got there 

the bus was well alight, Fire and 

Emergency NZ shift manager 

Simon Lyford said. 

There were no passengers on 

board, just the driver who was 

not injured. 

A fire crews from the 

Wigram and Rolleston stations 

responded after a call was 

received at 6.30am to report the 

bus was on fire. 

The motorway was closed 

while the blaze was brought 

under control. 

The fire was fully 

extinguished at 7.20am and the 

bus was then towed from the 

scene. 

Weightlifter turns ‘love 

for sport into a career’ 

•From page 1 

Dixon-Searle was selected 

to represent New Zealand at 

the international showdown 

after finishing third in the 

80kg division at the 2022 

New Zealand Strongest Man 

competition in Hamilton. 

“As one of the only 10 Kiwis 

to qualify for the international 

competition, I’m proud to hold

standards, and turn my love for 

sport into a career. 

“I’m grateful to NZIS for

Orchestra’s Music Trails enchants 

young audience 

LIVE MUSIC: CSO principal bassoon 

Selena Orwin explains the working 

of her instrument, while youngsters 

were enthralled by the wind 

quartet. 

PHOTOS: GEOFF SLOAN 

• By Geoff Sloan 

THE SILENCE was broken at 

Fendalton Library as orchestral 

performers staged the first in 

series of interactive concerts. 

The Christchurch Symphony 

Orchestra has partnered with 

Christchurch City Libraries 

to perform 11 free concerts, 

especially aimed at children aged 

2-6. 

Their 45-minute concert in 

Fendalton last week featured a 

wind quartet, which combined 

song, dance and storytelling 

to entertain the young crowd. 

CSO principal bassoon and 

head of programme development 

Selena Orwin believes the 

concerts are a great opportunity 

for young children to see 

orchestral instruments up close 

and join the musical fun. 

“We want to be as relevant 

as we can to the community 

and engage as many different 

types of people. 

“And concerts are not the 

only way of doing this. We 

love to get out and about in the 

community,” Orwin said. 

The CSO musicians will 

continue Music Trails with 

concerts at different libraries 

throughout the year.

As I write this, we are in a National 

State of Emergency in response to 

Cyclone Gabrielle, and rescue and 

clean up efforts are underway across 

the North Island. My thoughts are 

with all those affected by the extreme 

weather events of the past few weeks, 

especially those who have lost loved 

ones, homes, and livelihoods. 

We here in Canterbury have seen our 

fair share of tragedy, with the twelfth 

anniversary of the 2011 earthquake 

a poignant reminder this week of the 

devastation our city has seen. 

I know there will have been many here 

in Canterbury trying to get hold of 

loved ones cut off without reception. 

While emergency response teams 

worked as hard as they could to get 

communications back online, it has 

been an anxious time for a lot of us. 

Community organisations have moved 

quickly to provide flood relief and 

to support whānau and an all-of- 

Government response is already well 

underway. Our Government’s recent 

$11.5 million community support 

package will help to provide immediate 

relief for individuals, families, and 

households. 

In the coming weeks, we will have a 

better idea of what is needed where, 

but the initial response has been 

extraordinary. We will continue to 

support communities through this 

unprecedented event, as well as the 

recovery and rebuild. 

While the full impact of Cyclone 

Gabrielle is yet to be realised, we will 

get through this together. 

Finally, I’d like to acknowledge our 

emergency responders. They’ve 

put in the hard yards and put their 

lives on the line in the service of 

their communities. We all owe you 

enormous gratitude, thank you.

Making the most of the garden’s bounty 

Summer produce is 

in abundance at this 

time of year, but there’s 

no need to let it go 

to waste, writes the 

team at Love Food 

Hate Waste 

COURGETTES, tomatoes, corn, 

and stone fruits are a few of our 

favourite summer produce and at 

this time of the year they can be 

found readily available in stores, 

or your gardens may be full of 

ready-to-harvest produce. 

Make the most of these 

seasonal fruits and vegetables 

and turn them into delicious 

meals, tasty desserts or freeze or 

preserve them so you can enjoy 

them at any time of year. Here 

are some ideas: 

- Courgettes: Use as pizza 

topping; add into pasta or use 

as lasagne sheets; add to salads, 

risotto, and soups; make fritters, 

cake, ice cream, stuffed courgette, 

vegie bake, ratatouille, kebabs; 

grill on the bbq, or pickle. 

- Tomatoes: Make a salsa, 

stuffed tomatoes, pasta sauces, 

tomato sauce, or freeze to turn 

into a soup or to add to stews at 

another time. 

- Corn: Make fritters, corn 

ribs, succotash, soup or chowder, 

salad, cheesy corn, creamed 

corn, corn bread, add to stews 

and quiches, grill them to make 

elotes (grilled Mexican corn), 

or for a sweet dish make corn 

pudding. 

- Stone fruits: Turn into sweet 

or savoury sauces like peach 

sauce or cherry compote, make 

jam, preserve them, or enjoy in 

desserts such as pies, tarts, or a 

quick danish (see the recipe on 

this page). 

Late summer also means back 

to school and back to wondering 

how to make the most of the uneaten 

or half-eaten sandwiches, 

wraps, fruits, veges, or crackers 

brought home in lunch boxes. 

In many cases these foods can 

be saved so here are some of our 

ideas on what you can do: 

- Carrot sticks and corn 

cobs: If you are making a stir fry, 

stew, frittata, bolognese, or other 

mince dish for dinner add the 

veges in or save in a container or 

freezer bag and add to the meals 

another time. 

- Fruit: This can be frozen 

even if it is half eaten or has a 

few bites. Cut around the bitten 

area and cut into smaller pieces 

if needed and place in a freezer 

bag. Turn into smoothies, cakes, 

sorbets, or fruit filling for pies 

and crumbles. 

- Leftover sandwiches: Can 

be toasted in the sandwich press 

and eaten for dinner or as weekend 

lunch with soup. (However, 

if the original sandwich contained 

ham or chicken it is best 

not to keep them as the heat may 

have compromised their safety.) 

- Crackers: Save them and 

SEASONAL PRODUCE: 

Make a salsa with ripe 

tomatoes or a quick danish 

with plentiful peaches. 

PHOTOS: ODT, GETTY 

place in a sealed container and 

once you have enough you can 

crush them and use them as you 

would use breadcrumbs. Stale 

crackers can also be revived by 

heating in the oven and they will 

be crisp again, ready to eat as 

they are. 

Quick peach danish 

Ingredients 

6 medium-sized peaches, thinly 

sliced 

¼ cup brown sugar 

2 Tbsp plain flour 

½ tsp cinnamon 

pinch of salt 

2 sheets puff pastry, thawed 

Optional 

¼ tsp nutmeg 

¼ cup sliced almonds 

1 egg, beaten 

Directions 

Heat the oven to 200degC 

(180degC fan bake), line a tray 

with baking paper or a baking 

mat. 

Mix sliced peaches, brown 

sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, 

and salt together in a bowl. 

Cut pastry sheet into nine 

squares, place on tray, brush 

with egg (if using). 

Arrange peach slices on the 

pastry, about four slices per 

pastry. Sprinkle sliced almonds 

on top. 

Bake for 15 minutes, reduce to 

180degC (160degC fan bake) and 

bake for a further 10 minutes. 

You may want to rotate the tray 

if it is browning unevenly. 

Once cooked, cool on the tray 

for five minutes then transfer to 

a wire rack. 

Tip: Try this with apples, 

nectarines, apricots, pears, or 

even pineapples.
