ZEPHYR IS preparing to rock 

out in front of the biggest crowd 

they have ever played to on 

Saturday. 

Made up of students from 

Avonside Girls, Christchurch 

Girls and Christchurch Boys’ 

high schools, the band opens 

Selwyn Sounds at Lincoln 

Domain. 

A sell out crowd is expected 

for the day-long music festival, 

which features Blam Blam 

Blam, Sir Dave Dobbyn, Mi-Sex, 

Hoodoo Gurus, Gin Wigmore 

and Stellar*. 

“It means a lot to us. It is 

great to have this opportunity to 

play in front of such a big crowd 

at such a big festival – it 

is so exciting,” said guitarist 

Reuben Anderson, 17 from 

CBHS. The four-piece band was 

previously known as The Jehts, 

which came third at last year’s 

national Smokefree Rockquest 

after winning the Canterbury 

heat. •Turn to page 4

Fancy working 

on a steam tug? 

THE STEAM tug Lyttelton 

is calling out for deckhands 

and stokers to help the historic 

vessel continue operating on the 

harbour. 

The Tug Lyttelton Preservation 

Society made the appeal for 

volunteer crew members – and 

no experience is necessary to fill 

the roles. 

Society member Michael 

Fowke said help is needed on the 

wharf and deck. Volunteers are 

also needed to stoke the boiler 

and keep the old tug in shipshape 

condition. 

He said the work is not too 

physical. 

“We are looking for people 

from anywhere in the city to 

help, working a roster.” 

Fowke lives in Rangiora and 

comes in every week to help look 

after the vessel. The Lyttelton tug 

was built in Scotland in 1906 and 

was based at Lyttelton Harbour 

until 1970. Since then, the vessel 

has been taking passengers on 

harbour cruises to the Lyttelton 

Heads each Sunday afternoon 

over summer. The tug is also 

available for functions and private 

charters.

Zephyr set to blow the crowd away 

•From page 1 

Zephyr lead singer Cleo Cavell, 

16, from CGHS said Selwyn 

Sounds will be a big step up. 

“It is a big privilege and great 

to experience what is going to 

be a good time. It’s a bit nervewracking 

to be honest, we’ve seen 

the set lists of all the bands. It’s us 

then all these Kiwi legends really, 

so it is a bit nerve-racking to 

know these people are listening 

to us from back stage, waiting to 

go on.” 

Anderson said sharing the 

stage with musicians who have 

decades of experience in the 

industry will be both “exciting” 

and scary. 

“A lot of these people have 

been in the music industry for 20 

to 40 years. It’s intimidating but 

also very exciting to be able to get 

that sort of exposure,” he said. 

After Rockquest, the group 

decided to change their name 

to Zephyr. Bass player Scarlett 

Robson, 17, (CGHS) said the 

members were never really 

happy with the old moniker: “We 

wanted to freshen our image,” 

she said. 

Cawood, 17, said they had 

always planned to change their 

name. “When we came up with 

the name (The Jehts) we quickly 

decided on it, but we wanted to 

expand a bit so decided a name 

change was probably the best 

idea.” 

Rockquest focuses on 

GIG: Reuben Anderson, Cleo Cavell, Scarlett Robson and Mya Cawood (inset) at The Bower 

last Sunday.

songwriting and musicianship, 

which prompted them to write 

three original songs – The Relay, 

She Ain’t Got No Shame and 

Someplace New. 

Said Anderson: “The way 

we’ve written our originals is 

that I’d come up with some sort 

of riff or idea then I’d take it to 

the band and collectively we’d 

all work on that riff and create 

different sections and Cleo would 

add lyrics and vocal melodies 

and we’d all work together on 

structure from the original idea.” 

The band has similar musical 

influences. 

“Led Zeppelin, we really dig 

The Doors and Jimi Hendrix 

as well. Just that classic 70s 

psychedelic rock,” Anderson said. 

He has been playing guitar for 

two years and was influenced 

by some of the great rock 

guitarists. 

“I just fell in love with that 

sort of guitar work. You know, 

Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray 

Vaughan – all these amazing 

guitar legends, their music was so 

interesting.” 

They are all in year 13 and are 

under the wing of Selwyn Sounds 

director David Parlane. 

Cavell said Parlane’s industry 

contacts have come in handy. 

“It came about through a family 

friend, Debbie Haywood. 

“She talked to (Parlane) and 

said we were a young rock group 

that were trying to promote 

ourselves and he was looking for 

a group to work with so we met 

through that.” 

Cavell was the last to join the 

band. “Thankfully we all just 

ended up liking the same music, 

we never have to argue about 

what style of music we play,” she 

said. 

Robson has been playing bass 

for four years. “For a few years 

before we started the band, we 

all separately had an interest in 

the same music. We just came 

together and it worked out well 

that we loved to play it as well,” 

she said. 

The band plays at The Bower 

in North New Brighton every 

Sunday afternoon, which means 

they need to increase their 

repertoire of cover songs. 

Robson said: “At the 

moment we’re learning a lot of 

covers to do at gigs, including 

Selwyn Sounds, but we’d like 

to focus on making our own 

originals outside of Rockquest 

and expanding our own 

discography.”

Yarham makes junior White Sox 

CHALLENGE: Halswell’s Sophie Yarham is one of nine 

Canterbury softball players set to travel to the United States 

in June with two Junior White Sox teams. 

• By Jaime Cunningham 

HALSWELL’S SOPHIE Yarham 

is one of nine Canterbury players 

named in two Junior White Sox 

teams set to travel to a United 

States tournament in June. 

Sophie has been selected alongside 

McKenzie Bailey-McDowell, 

Caitlin Henderson, Kaiyah Ratu, 

Sydelle Sipiki-Samuelu and Trinity 

Mackley-Flutey (non-travelling 

reserve) in the under 18 team, 

while Maddison Parsons, Katerina 

Sumner, and Shyla de Latour 

(non-travelling reserve) have been 

selected in the under 16 side. 

About 250 teams are expected 

to attend the Top Gun invitational 

tournament in Kansas City, Missouri, 

including the New Zealand 

teams named last week. 

Sophie has travelled to Australia 

and Indonesia for softball tournaments 

before, but the 16-year-old 

said going to the country known 

as the “home of softball” makes 

the upcoming trip more exciting 

than previous ones. 

“This trip will expose us to some 

great softball against challenging 

competition which will allow us to 

grow as individuals,” she said. 

“I can’t wait to head over to 

America and embrace the whole 

experience.” 

Former White Sox captain and 

Olympian Kiri Shaw will resume 

her role as head coach of the Junior 

White Sox, but will be joined 

by new assistant coach, Carley 

Ratu. 

“You would have to say, American 

girls’ softball is the best in the 

world and we are lucky enough 

to get this opportunity to see and 

compete against the best,” Shaw 

said. 

“This whole experience is going 

to be massive, I can’t think of 

anything better than throwing 

ourselves into the firing line, so to 

speak.” 

The tournament is the start of 

the Junior White Sox’s preparations 

for the first world cup 

regional qualifers next year, ahead 

of the 2025 U18 softball world cup.

representatives:

Getting 

to school 

safely 

THE ANNUAL Walk or Wheel 

to School Week is back with 76 

schools and a kindergarten taking 

part next week. 

City council transport 

operations manager Stephen 

Wright said the event will focus 

on getting to school safely. 

“Walking or wheeling to 

school helps reduce our carbon 

emissions and keeps our kids safe 

with a reduction of vehicle traffic 

at the school gate,” he said. 

It also shows children they 

can enjoy the health benefits of 

exercise, he said. 

There will be prizes during the 

week, including bikes, scooters 

and helmets. 

“We want to show children that 

there’s a bunch of alternatives to 

taking the car to and from school 

and ones that can be a lot of fun,” 

said Wright.

flavours, it will surprise guests expecting 

a traditional gazpacho recipe. Serve on ice 

for extra chill factor. 

Serves 4 

Ingredients 

6 medium red tomatoes, roughly 

chopped 

½ telegraph cucumber, chopped 

1 clove garlic 

¼ cup chopped red onion 

½ red chilli, chopped 

2 tsp fish sauce

¼ cup lime juice 

Salt and pepper, to taste

Salmon bibimbap 

Bibimbap is a korean-style bowl which 

is all about mixing the ingredients 

together to incorporate the flavours and 

the delicious spicy sauce. Change it up by 

trying it with fried chicken or tofu. There 

are endless options for such a dish. The 

secret is in the sauce’s sweet and spicy 

umami flavour. You will find gochujang at 

the supermarket. 

Serves 4 

Ingredients 

Sauce 

2 Tbsp gochujang 

2 Tbsp sesame oil 

1 Tbsp runny honey 

1 Tbsp cider vinegar 

2 Tbsp water 

1 tsp black sesame seeds 

1 clove garlic, crushed 

Bowls

carrot. 

Peel and cut the avocado into slices, 

place in the bowl and squeeze over a little 

lemon. 

When ready to serve, drizzle with the 

sauce and dot around some coriander. 

Serve at room temperature. 

Sticky eggplant with chickpeas 

and noodles 

Long eggplants are skinnier than the 

regular large purple ones, and cook more 

quickly because of their shape. If you can’t 

find any, chop a large eggplant into 2cm 

cubes. I have used dried organic ramen 

noodles here. 

Serves 4 

Ingredients 

2 Tbsp olive oil 

4 long eggplant, sliced 1cm thick 

1 small red onion, chopped

Directions 

In a large frying pan warm the oil. 

Add the eggplant slices, cooking for 8-10 

minutes until soft. Add the red onion, 

ginger and chives, continuing to cook for 

5 minutes until soft. 

For the sauce, combine in a bowl the soy, 

gochujang, honey, garlic and water. 

Add the chickpeas to the eggplant, then 

add the sauce, cooking until everything 

is well coated. Fold through the noodles, 

season and serve hot.

RD Petroleum (RDP) is a familiar sight 

for farm and rural residents around the 

Canterbury region, however now days urban 

residents also enjoy the same excellent 

customer service for which RDP is known for 

in rural communities, through their home 

heating diesel. 

RDP began its home heating diesel delivery 

service to the lower South Island’s main urban 

centres of Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin 

and Invercargill a number of years ago. 

Customer demand has continued to increase 

year upon year, and RDP has responded 

with specialised improvements to its delivery 

equipment. 

The trucks that deliver RDP’s home heating 

diesel in each urban centre are drawn from 

the company’s extensive vehicle fleet. This 

means they have the latest communication 

and GPS tracking technology on board, so 

the operations team always know where they 

are and how far away they are from their next 

delivery stop. 

RDP’s home heating diesel trucks come 

equipped with a specially-designed hose, 

through which the diesel is pumped from 

the truck into house tanks. The length of 

the hose allows the trucks to access tanks 

without having to enter the property, avoiding 

damaging the driveway. RDP is the place to 

go if you require diesel conveniently delivered 

to your home and as a loyal RDP customer 

you’re offered discounted pricing and can 

become eligible for value-added benefits.

regulating the heat in your home or office in 

no time. 

Nowadays, customers are often wanting 

whole home solutions to be able to maintain 

even temperatures throughout the home both 

in Winter and Summer. This can be achieved 

by using ducted systems or multi systems 

and Enviro Master are experts in designing, 

installing and commissioning these systems. 

Help is currently available with a 

government subsidy covering 80 per cent of 

the cost of a new heat pump up to $3000. 

The subsidy is part of the Warmer Kiwi 

Homes initiative and is available to Home 

owner/occupiers with a Community Services 

Card, a SuperGold combo card or who live in 

a low-income area as determined by deciles 

8-10 on the New Zealand Deprivation Index. 

Enjoy more 

comfort, control 

save energy and 

Enhance your ducted heat pump 

with AirTouch, a smart controller 

to manage your climate control 

from a touch screen, smartphone, 

tablet or voice control.

The applicant’s home must also have been 

built before 2008, have insulation up to code 

(insulation subsidies also available) and have 

no fixed heating in a living area, such as an 

existing operational heat pump or fireplace. 

With new regulations now in place for 

Landlords to provide heating in rentals, it’s 

time to ensure you are meeting the new 

standards. 

Inadequate heating and ventilation can 

lead to mould growth and dampness in your 

property, leading to costlier maintenance 

and an unhealthy living environment. 

Providing a fixed heater with a higher heat 

output and lower running costs, like a heat 

pump, will enable your tenants to heat the 

area effectively. Enviro Master are well 

experienced with the Tenancy Services 

software to ensure that you are meeting your 

requirements. 

To ensure you choose the right system 

for your home or business, one of Enviro 

Master’s experts will visit to assess your 

individual situation, offer advice and 

answer any questions you may have. This 

consultation is at no cost to the customer 

and is always provided before a heat pump is 

installed. 

Anyone wondering about their eligibility 

for a subsidised heat pump are welcome to 

get in touch for details and help with the 

application process. To find out more, call 

Enviro Master on (03) 366 0525 or visit
