and Stellar*.<br />
“It means a lot to us. It is<br />
great to have this opportunity to<br />
play in front of such a big crowd<br />
at such a big festival – it<br />
is so exciting,” said guitarist<br />
Reuben Anderson, 17 from<br />
CBHS. The four-piece band was<br />
previously known as The Jehts,<br />
which came third at last year’s<br />
national Smokefree Rockquest<br />
after winning the Canterbury<br />
heat. •Turn to page 4<br />

Fancy working<br />
on a steam tug?<br />
THE STEAM tug Lyttelton<br />
is calling out for deckhands<br />
and stokers to help the historic<br />
vessel continue operating on the<br />
harbour.<br />
The Tug Lyttelton Preservation<br />
Society made the appeal for<br />
volunteer crew members – and<br />
no experience is necessary to fill<br />
the roles.<br />
Society member Michael<br />
Fowke said help is needed on the<br />
wharf and deck. Volunteers are<br />
also needed to stoke the boiler<br />
and keep the old tug in shipshape<br />
condition.<br />
He said the work is not too<br />
physical.<br />
“We are looking for people<br />
from anywhere in the city to<br />
help, working a roster.”<br />
Fowke lives in Rangiora and<br />
comes in every week to help look<br />
after the vessel. The Lyttelton tug<br />
was built in Scotland in 1906 and<br />
was based at Lyttelton Harbour<br />
until 1970. Since then, the vessel<br />
has been taking passengers on<br />
harbour cruises to the Lyttelton<br />
Heads each Sunday afternoon<br />
over summer. The tug is also<br />
available for functions and private<br />
charters.<br />

the vessel if cleaned up and readied<br />

up. The deck crew then prepares<br />
the passenger areas. “We<br />

Zephyr set to blow the crowd away<br />
•From page 1<br />
Zephyr lead singer Cleo Cavell,<br />
16, from CGHS said Selwyn<br />
Sounds will be a big step up.<br />
“It is a big privilege and great<br />
to experience what is going to<br />
be a good time. It’s a bit nervewracking<br />
to be honest, we’ve seen<br />
the set lists of all the bands. It’s us<br />
then all these Kiwi legends really,<br />
so it is a bit nerve-racking to<br />
know these people are listening<br />
to us from back stage, waiting to<br />
go on.”<br />
Anderson said sharing the<br />
stage with musicians who have<br />
decades of experience in the<br />
industry will be both “exciting”<br />
and scary.<br />
“A lot of these people have<br />
been in the music industry for 20<br />
to 40 years. It’s intimidating but<br />
also very exciting to be able to get<br />
that sort of exposure,” he said.<br />
After Rockquest, the group<br />
decided to change their name<br />
to Zephyr. Bass player Scarlett<br />
Robson, 17, (CGHS) said the<br />
members were never really<br />
happy with the old moniker: “We<br />
wanted to freshen our image,”<br />
she said.<br />
Cawood, 17, said they had<br />
always planned to change their<br />
name. “When we came up with<br />
the name (The Jehts) we quickly<br />
decided on it, but we wanted to<br />
expand a bit so decided a name<br />
change was probably the best<br />
idea.”<br />
Rockquest focuses on<br />
GIG: Reuben Anderson, Cleo Cavell, Scarlett Robson and Mya Cawood (inset) at The Bower<br />

songwriting and musicianship,<br />
which prompted them to write<br />
three original songs – The Relay,<br />
She Ain’t Got No Shame and<br />
Someplace New.<br />
Said Anderson: “The way<br />
we’ve written our originals is<br />
that I’d come up with some sort<br />
of riff or idea then I’d take it to<br />
the band and collectively we’d<br />
all work on that riff and create<br />
different sections and Cleo would<br />
add lyrics and vocal melodies<br />
and we’d all work together on<br />
structure from the original idea.”<br />
The band has similar musical<br />
influences.<br />
“Led Zeppelin, we really dig<br />
The Doors and Jimi Hendrix<br />
as well. Just that classic 70s<br />
psychedelic rock,” Anderson said.<br />
He has been playing guitar for<br />
two years and was influenced<br />
by some of the great rock<br />
guitarists.<br />
“I just fell in love with that<br />
sort of guitar work. You know,<br />
Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray<br />
Vaughan – all these amazing<br />
guitar legends, their music was so<br />
interesting.”<br />
They are all in year 13 and are<br />
under the wing of Selwyn Sounds<br />
director David Parlane.<br />
Cavell said Parlane’s industry<br />
contacts have come in handy.<br />
“It came about through a family<br />
friend, Debbie Haywood.<br />
“She talked to (Parlane) and<br />
said we were a young rock group<br />
that were trying to promote<br />
ourselves and he was looking for<br />
a group to work with so we met<br />
through that.”<br />
Cavell was the last to join the<br />
band. “Thankfully we all just<br />
ended up liking the same music,<br />
we never have to argue about<br />
what style of music we play,” she<br />
said.<br />
Robson has been playing bass<br />
for four years. “For a few years<br />
before we started the band, we<br />
all separately had an interest in<br />
the same music. We just came<br />
together and it worked out well<br />
that we loved to play it as well,”<br />
she said.<br />
The band plays at The Bower<br />
in North New Brighton every<br />
Sunday afternoon, which means<br />
they need to increase their<br />
repertoire of cover songs.<br />
Robson said: “At the<br />
moment we’re learning a lot of<br />
covers to do at gigs, including<br />
Selwyn Sounds, but we’d like<br />
to focus on making our own<br />
originals outside of Rockquest<br />
and expanding our own<br />
discography.”<br />

Yarham makes junior White Sox<br />
CHALLENGE: Halswell’s Sophie Yarham is one of nine<br />
Canterbury softball players set to travel to the United States<br />
in June with two Junior White Sox teams.<br />
• By Jaime Cunningham<br />
HALSWELL’S SOPHIE Yarham<br />
is one of nine Canterbury players<br />
named in two Junior White Sox<br />
teams set to travel to a United<br />
States tournament in June.<br />
Sophie has been selected alongside<br />
McKenzie Bailey-McDowell,<br />
Caitlin Henderson, Kaiyah Ratu,<br />
Sydelle Sipiki-Samuelu and Trinity<br />
Mackley-Flutey (non-travelling<br />
reserve) in the under 18 team,<br />
while Maddison Parsons, Katerina<br />
Sumner, and Shyla de Latour<br />
(non-travelling reserve) have been<br />
selected in the under 16 side.<br />
About 250 teams are expected<br />
to attend the Top Gun invitational<br />
tournament in Kansas City, Missouri,<br />
including the New Zealand<br />
teams named last week.<br />
Sophie has travelled to Australia<br />
and Indonesia for softball tournaments<br />
before, but the 16-year-old<br />
said going to the country known<br />
as the “home of softball” makes<br />
the upcoming trip more exciting<br />
than previous ones.<br />
“This trip will expose us to some<br />
great softball against challenging<br />
competition which will allow us to<br />
grow as individuals,” she said.<br />
“I can’t wait to head over to<br />
America and embrace the whole<br />
experience.”<br />
Former White Sox captain and<br />
Olympian Kiri Shaw will resume<br />
her role as head coach of the Junior<br />
White Sox, but will be joined<br />
by new assistant coach, Carley<br />
Ratu.<br />
“You would have to say, American<br />
girls’ softball is the best in the<br />
world and we are lucky enough<br />
to get this opportunity to see and<br />
compete against the best,” Shaw<br />
said.<br />
“This whole experience is going<br />
to be massive, I can’t think of<br />
anything better than throwing<br />
ourselves into the firing line, so to<br />
speak.”<br />
The tournament is the start of<br />
the Junior White Sox’s preparations<br />
for the first world cup<br />
regional qualifers next year, ahead<br />
of the 2<strong>02</strong>5 U18 softball world cup.<br />
Canterbury<br />
representatives:<br />
•Under-18 team: McKenzie<br />
Bailey-McDowell (Kaiapoi),<br />
Caitlin Henderson<br />
(Parklands-Christchurch<br />
United), Kaiyah Ratu<br />

United), Sophie Yarham<br />
(Halswell), Sydelle Sipiki-<br />
Samuelu (Papanui) and<br />
Trinity Mackley-Flutey<br />
(Parklands-Christchurch<br />

•Under-16 team: Maddison<br />

Getting<br />
to school<br />
safely<br />
THE ANNUAL Walk or Wheel<br />
to School Week is back with 76<br />
schools and a kindergarten taking<br />
part next week.<br />
City council transport<br />
operations manager Stephen<br />
Wright said the event will focus<br />
on getting to school safely.<br />
“Walking or wheeling to<br />
school helps reduce our carbon<br />
emissions and keeps our kids safe<br />
with a reduction of vehicle traffic<br />
at the school gate,” he said.<br />
It also shows children they<br />
can enjoy the health benefits of<br />
exercise, he said.<br />
There will be prizes during the<br />
week, including bikes, scooters<br />
and helmets.<br />
“We want to show children that<br />
there’s a bunch of alternatives to<br />
taking the car to and from school<br />
and ones that can be a lot of fun,”<br />
said Wright.<br />

This gazpacho is perfect for a warm<br />

Ingredients<br />
6 medium red tomatoes, roughly<br />
chopped<br />
½ telegraph cucumber, chopped<br />
1 clove garlic<br />
¼ cup chopped red onion<br />
½ red chilli, chopped<br />
2 tsp fish sauce<br />
1 tsp brown sugar<br />
1 tsp sesame oil<br />
¼ cup lime juice<br />
Salt and pepper, to taste<br />
¼ cup chopped parsley or coriander<br />
Directions<br />
Into a blender place the tomatoes,<br />
cucumber, garlic, onion, chilli, fish sauce,<br />
sugar, sesame oil and lime juice, blitzing<br />
until smooth.<br />
Season with salt and pepper, place into a<br />
jar and cool.<br />
When ready to serve, stir through the<br />
chopped parsley or coriander.<br />
Serve on ice cubes with some extra<br />
sliced chilli and green leaves.<br />
Salmon bibimbap<br />
Bibimbap is a korean-style bowl which<br />
is all about mixing the ingredients<br />
together to incorporate the flavours and<br />
the delicious spicy sauce. Change it up by<br />
trying it with fried chicken or tofu. There<br />
are endless options for such a dish. The<br />
secret is in the sauce’s sweet and spicy<br />
umami flavour. You will find gochujang at<br />
the supermarket.<br />
Serves 4<br />
Ingredients<br />
Sauce<br />
2 Tbsp gochujang<br />
2 Tbsp sesame oil<br />
1 Tbsp runny honey<br />
1 Tbsp cider vinegar<br />
2 Tbsp water<br />
1 tsp black sesame seeds<br />
1 clove garlic, crushed<br />
Bowls<br />
3-4 cups cooked rice<br />
400g salmon, cut into cubes<br />
1 apple, cut into sticks<br />
1 small courgette, grated<br />
1 carrot, coarsely grated<br />
1 avocado<br />
½ lemon<br />
1 cup coriander, leaves picked<br />
Directions<br />
Firstly make the sauce. In a small jug<br />
combine the gochujang, oil, honey, vinegar,<br />
water, sesame seeds and garlic, then<br />
set aside.<br />
Into your serving bowl place some rice.<br />
Add the salmon, apple, courgette and<br />
carrot.<br />
Peel and cut the avocado into slices,<br />
place in the bowl and squeeze over a little<br />
lemon.<br />
When ready to serve, drizzle with the<br />
sauce and dot around some coriander.<br />
Serve at room temperature.<br />
Sticky eggplant with chickpeas<br />
and noodles<br />
Long eggplants are skinnier than the<br />
regular large purple ones, and cook more<br />
quickly because of their shape. If you can’t<br />
find any, chop a large eggplant into 2cm<br />
cubes. I have used dried organic ramen<br />
noodles here.<br />
Serves 4<br />
Ingredients<br />
2 Tbsp olive oil<br />
4 long eggplant, sliced 1cm thick<br />
1 small red onion, chopped<br />
1 Tbsp grated ginger<br />
½ cup chopped garlic chives<br />
1 cup chickpeas, drained<br />
200g noodles, cooked<br />
Salt and pepper<br />
Sauce<br />
¼ cup soy<br />
2 Tbsp gochujang<br />
1 Tbsp runny honey<br />
1 clove garlic, grated<br />
¼ cup water<br />
Directions<br />
In a large frying pan warm the oil.<br />
Add the eggplant slices, cooking for 8-10<br />
minutes until soft. Add the red onion,<br />
ginger and chives, continuing to cook for<br />
5 minutes until soft.<br />
For the sauce, combine in a bowl the soy,<br />
gochujang, honey, garlic and water.<br />
Add the chickpeas to the eggplant, then<br />
add the sauce, cooking until everything<br />
is well coated. Fold through the noodles,<br />
season and serve hot.<br />

RD Petroleum (RDP) is a familiar sight<br />
for farm and rural residents around the<br />
Canterbury region, however now days urban<br />
residents also enjoy the same excellent<br />
customer service for which RDP is known for<br />
in rural communities, through their home<br />
heating diesel.<br />
RDP began its home heating diesel delivery<br />
service to the lower South Island’s main urban<br />
centres of Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin<br />
and Invercargill a number of years ago.<br />
Customer demand has continued to increase<br />
year upon year, and RDP has responded<br />
with specialised improvements to its delivery<br />
equipment.<br />
The trucks that deliver RDP’s home heating<br />
diesel in each urban centre are drawn from<br />
the company’s extensive vehicle fleet. This<br />
means they have the latest communication<br />
and GPS tracking technology on board, so<br />
the operations team always know where they<br />
are and how far away they are from their next<br />
delivery stop.<br />
RDP’s home heating diesel trucks come<br />

“A local team for local people”<br />
Get the balance<br />
right this winter<br />
Enviro Master has been helping Cantabrians<br />
get the balance right when it comes to<br />
choosing the perfect heat pump or air<br />
conditioning system for their home or office<br />
since 20<strong>02</strong>.<br />
Their team of expert sales people, qualified<br />
electricians, heating and refrigeration<br />
engineers, help to supply and install<br />
Christchurch’s widest range of heat pumps,<br />
and because they have no affiliation with any<br />
one brand, you can be assured their advice<br />
on the benefits and differences between each<br />
product is unbiased.<br />
They will recommend the most energyefficient<br />
and cost-effective system for your<br />
individual situation, and will have you<br />
regulating the heat in your home or office in<br />
no time.<br />
Nowadays, customers are often wanting<br />
whole home solutions to be able to maintain<br />
even temperatures throughout the home both<br />
in Winter and Summer. This can be achieved<br />
by using ducted systems or multi systems<br />
and Enviro Master are experts in designing,<br />
installing and commissioning these systems.<br />
Help is currently available with a<br />
government subsidy covering 80 per cent of<br />
the cost of a new heat pump up to $3000.<br />
The subsidy is part of the Warmer Kiwi<br />
Homes initiative and is available to Home<br />
owner/occupiers with a Community Services<br />
Card, a SuperGold combo card or who live in<br />
a low-income area as determined by deciles<br />
8-10 on the New Zealand Deprivation Index.<br />
Enjoy more<br />
comfort, control<br />
save energy and<br />
Enhance your ducted heat pump<br />
with AirTouch, a smart controller<br />
to manage your climate control<br />
from a touch screen, smartphone,<br />
tablet or voice control.<br />

The applicant’s home must also have been<br />
built before 2008, have insulation up to code<br />
(insulation subsidies also available) and have<br />
no fixed heating in a living area, such as an<br />
existing operational heat pump or fireplace.<br />
With new regulations now in place for<br />
Landlords to provide heating in rentals, it’s<br />
time to ensure you are meeting the new<br />
standards.<br />
Inadequate heating and ventilation can<br />
lead to mould growth and dampness in your<br />
property, leading to costlier maintenance<br />
and an unhealthy living environment.<br />
Providing a fixed heater with a higher heat<br />
output and lower running costs, like a heat<br />
pump, will enable your tenants to heat the<br />
area effectively. Enviro Master are well<br />
experienced with the Tenancy Services<br />
software to ensure that you are meeting your<br />
requirements.<br />
To ensure you choose the right system<br />
for your home or business, one of Enviro<br />
Master’s experts will visit to assess your<br />
individual situation, offer advice and<br />
answer any questions you may have. This<br />
consultation is at no cost to the customer<br />
and is always provided before a heat pump is<br />
installed.<br />
Anyone wondering about their eligibility<br />
for a subsidised heat pump are welcome to<br />
get in touch for details and help with the<br />
application process. To find out more, call<br />
