Cashmere High School’s 

great sporting week 

Baker wins 

U19 title 

at cycling 

nationals 

• By Jaime Cunningham 

MEG BAKER was named 

the top under-19 female rider 

at the track cycling national 

championships, after winning 

four titles at last week’s event in 

Invercargill. 

The 17-year-old was one of four 

Cashmere students to compete at 

the nationals, alongside Callum 

McGrail, Eliana Beale and Amos 

Beale. 

Meg won four titles, including 

the under-19 200m individual 

pursuit, scratch race, 500m time 

trial and keirin. She also won 

the elite/under-19 women’s title 

for the 4000m team pursuit and 

under-19 women’s team sprint 

with other Canterbury cyclists. 

Eliana came first in the 3000m 

team pursuit with the under-17 

Canterbury team, and then 

achieved fifth in the under-17 

2000m individual pursuit, and 

placed in the top 10 in the points 

and madison. 

Amos competed in the 

under-15 boy’s category, placing 

11th in the points race and 12th 

in the scratch race, while Callum 

(U19 men), placed fifth in the 

4000m team pursuit with the 

Canterbury team, and finished 

11th in the 3000m individual 

pursuit, 12th in the keirin and 

14th in the points race.

TWO CASHMERE High 

triathletes won titles at the 

South Island secondary schools 

triathlon at Oamaru at the 

weekend, ahead of the nationals 

later this month. 

Cashmere had four students 

enter the junior and intermediate 

categories, which included a 

300m harbour swim, 12km cycle 

and 2.5km run to finish. 

Thomas Newsom (left) was 

first overall for both categories, 

although entered in the boys’ 

intermediate event. He finished 

the course in 34m 18sec, almost 

10 seconds in front of the next 

fastest competitor. 

Gwilym Jones won the junior 

boys’ event as well as placing 

eighth overall in both categories. 

He finished almost three minutes 

faster than the next junior boys’ 

participant, in a time of 37m 23sec. 

Felicity Newsom was seventh 

in the junior girls’ category, while 

Silas Jones finished eighth in the 

intermediate boys’. 

The event was hosted by the 

Oamaru Multisport Club alongside 

the 39th annual Oamaru 

Triathlon at the town’s harbour 

on Sunday. 

Athletes will now start their 

preparations for the New Zealand 

schools triathlon championships 

in Glendhu Bay, Wānaka, on 

March 30-31. 

Students will be able to take 

part either as an individual 

or team, a super sprint mixed 

team relay, an open water swim, 

an individual, or in the team 

aquathon.

Rock riffle to help movement of fish 

A NATURALISED rock riffle 

being installed in the Ōtākaro- 

Avon River near Mona Vale 

Homestead will help native and 

sport fish easily move to and 

from the river’s upper catchment. 

The rock riffle has been 

specifically designed for New 

Zealand’s fish species and will be 

similar to those seen in nature. 

A naturalised rock riffle 

is a long ramp with a gentle 

gradient. Rocks are strategically 

placed to allow for a wide 

range of flow conditions to 

cater to the variety of weak and 

strong swimming fish species. 

Larger emergent boulders are 

also placed in the waterway in 

clusters to create resting places 

for fish and spawning habitat for 

invertebrates. 

It will be installed over the 

existing weir. Work began last 

month and is expected to take 

six months to complete. 

Said city council spokesman 

Gavin Hutchison: “Barriers to 

movement in waterways have 

been identified as a significant 

threat to both native and sports 

fish in New Zealand.” 

More than 76 per cent of 

New Zealand’s living native 

freshwater fish are classified 

as threatened with or at risk 

of extinction, Department of 

Conservation figures show. 

“The remediation of this 

weir will allow access to 

approximately 9km of waterway 

upstream of the weir and 

increase migration, diversity 

and abundance of ika in the 

upper river’s catchment,” said 

Hutchison. 

“Limited passage of brown 

trout occurs at this weir but 

likely not full passage. In 

addition, the weir is a barrier to 

many of our native ika (fish) who 

are poor swimmers, in particular 

inanga (whitebait), bluegill bully 

and lamprey, which all have 

conservation status. 

“The native fish are unable 

to swim or jump through the 

barrier and that’s why we find 

very few native species in the 

waterways upstream.” 

More than half of New 

Zealand’s native fish species 

travel back and forth from 

freshwater to the sea to complete 

their life cycle. The new rock 

riffle will enable easy access to 

upstream waterways. 

It will be similar to a rock riffle 

previously installed near the 

Antigua Boatsheds. 

The history of the Mona Vale 

weir dates back to the 1860s 

when the Deans family leased 

six acres of their land adjoining 

the Avon River loop (including 

water rights) to William Derisley 

Wood for the construction of a 

flour mill. 

In November 1860 Wood 

called for tenders from ditchers 

and excavators to cut the 

mill race across the river, and 

construction began around 

FLOW: A naturalised rock 

riffle being installed in 

the Ōtākaro-Avon River 

near Mona Vale will allow 

fish such as brown trout 

access to 9km of waterways 

upstream. 

PHOTO: NEWSLINE 

February 1861. 

In order for the mill race 

to obtain a sufficient flow of 

water to turn the mill’s wheel, 

Wood was required to install a 

weir within the channel of the 

Avon River loop as a means of 

controlling the water flow. 

Extensive repairs to the 

original timber weir were carried 

out in 1939 and the existing 

concrete weir was renewed by the 

Christchurch Drainage Board in 

the mid-1980s.

Young band flying high after 

• By Darryl Baser 

YOUNG BAND Zephyr are 

on cloud nine after playing to 

thousands of people at Selwyn 

Sounds. 

The members are all in year 

13, with drummer Mya Cawood, 

17, at Avonside Girls’ High, 

guitarist Reuben Anderson, 17, 

at Christchurch Boys’ High, and 

bassist Scarlett Robson, 17, and 

singer Cleo Cavell, 16, both at 

Christchurch Girls’ High. 

Cawood said playing to 

between 4000 and 5000 people 

was “bloody brilliant.” 

“We played well as a band 

and met a lot of amazing 

people – Dave Dobbyn, Mi-Sex, 

Greg Johnson, he was a bit of a 

favourite, he was a really nice 

man. Sometimes I pinched 

myself and thought: ‘What are 

we doing here?’ 

“It was such an amazing 

opportunity, really.” 

Cawood had a great time in 

the band’s engine room, keeping 

her mates in time from her 

throne on the drums. 

“We played perfectly, 

everything went as planned, it 

was a really good experience 

being here. All thanks to David 

Parlane.” 

The band was chosen to open 

the day-long Selwyn Sounds 

music festival at Lincoln Domain 

on Saturday by promoter and 

festival director David Parlane. 

Cawood said it was an exciting 

experience. 

“It really does amp you 

up playing to a bigger crowd, 

gets you really excited, it is so 

good.” 

Said Anderson: “It went about 

as well as it could have, we all 

played really well, I’m proud of 

the rest of the band. 

“We’re really thankful to him, 

we really appreciate it.” 

Robson said playing in front 

of a big crowd was a big step 

forward for the band. 

“The energy is completely 

different, it was full on – so 

much fun.” 

They estimated 4000 to 5000

at 10.50am. 

“It was about 10 times bigger 

than the biggest crowd we 

played to when we played at 

the Rockquest finals last year,” 

Anderson said. 

When 80s band Blam Blam 

Blam took the stage after 

Zephyr’s set, they mingled with 

the crowd and received many 

positive comments. 

Said Robson: “When we were 

playing, we got some good claps

SOLO: Guitarist Reuben Anderson said the band received 

many positive comments from the crowd. 

Then afterwards, when we 

went out into the crowds, people 

stopped us and gave us really nice 

compliments. That was really 

nice to hear.” 

They agreed playing on the 

same stage at Sir Dave Dobbyn, 

Gin Wigmore, Stellar*, Greg 

Johnson, and Hoodoo Gurus 

was the definite highlight of their 

career to date. 

The band plays at The Bower 

in North New Brighton each 

Sunday as part of a three-month 

residency. 

Playing at Selwyn Sounds and 

at The Bower every weekend will 

help their career. 

Said Anderson: “I think it’ll 

really help us get out into the 

local music scene. 

“A lot of people who watched 

us were from Christchurch and 

the surrounding area. I think 

it’ll really help our publicity. As 

Scarlett said, so many people 

came up to us afterwards and 

said how much they enjoyed our 

set. 

“We had a lot of people say 

they’re going to come to our next 

gig and they’re going to look out 

for us. It is really encouraging to 

hear that people are digging the 

sort of music we’re playing.” 

Zephyr played some Led 

Zeppelin and Blondie covers, as 

well as their own originals during 

the 40-minute set at Lincoln.

at The Bower beer garden 

from 1pm on Sunday.

Preserving summer’s goodness for later 

Keep some of the 

departing sun around a 

little longer by storing it 

in jars. For Nigel Slater, 

preserving tomatoes is 

an annual ritual that lets 

summer play out in the 

cooler months to come 

THERE IS MUCH to do in the 

kitchen. I made the last of the 

plums into jam last week – a 

softly-set version for spooning 

over yoghurt – there are 

damsons to be frozen for winter 

and I just managed to catch the 

tail end of the decent apricots 

before they disappeared. 

More organised cooks than me 

will have done this a couple of 

weeks ago, but hey ho. 

What matters is that I have 

something of the departing 

summer on the shelf for the cold 

months to come. 

I spent an entire morning 

this week preserving tomatoes 

in olive oil: fat-bellied jars of 

orange, red and yellow fruits to 

use during the winter months. It 

has become an annual job, one 

of the more calming of tasks, 

usually on one of those days 

that, despite the sun, feels faintly 

autumnal. 

The tomatoes are skinned 

and seeded, then cooked slowly 

in deep, green oil with spikes 

of rosemary, peppercorns and 

thyme. They will keep in the cool 

– I put them on the top shelf of 

SUMMER’S BEST: Preserve excess tomatoes for use during 

the winter months. 

PHOTO: GETTY 

the fridge – a squirrel store for 

the first frosts. 

Once the tomatoes are soft and 

starting to brown here and there, 

crush them into a rough-edged 

sauce. 

The tomatoes will be brought 

out as an instant sauce for pasta. 

Mostly for orecchiette, a shape 

that will hold the tomatoes and 

any other vegetables – peas, 

chopped green beans – in their 

hollows. I use them in a salad, 

too, their oil as the dressing, 

tossing them with toasted bread, 

olives and wedges of crisp lettuce, 

the bread sponging up the 

herby juice. 

The tomatoes may also find 

themselves baked with whole 

fish. 

They are good for toast, the 

bread cut thick, the hot, herbscented 

oil soaking through the 

toast, topped with the tomatoes, 

anchovy fillets and black olives. 

A taste of summer at any time of 

year. 

As with any form of preserving 

there are a few rules of which we 

should probably take note. 

Your jars do need to be sterilised 

before use – it is crucial to 

the success of the recipe. Sterilise 

your jars with boiling water or 

bake them, empty, in a cool oven 

and let them dry naturally or use 

a spotlessly clean tea towel. 

While I am happy to reuse 

the rubber seals over and over 

again for dried goods, such as 

pasta, I use new ones, ensuring a 

tight seal, for any bottled fruit or 

vegetables. 

The jars should be stored in 

a cool, dark place once they are 

ready, though I tend to keep 

mine in the fridge. The oil may 

solidify in the cold, but will 

return to liquid at room temperature. 

The recipe can be multiplied 

happily, should you have a glut of 

homegrown fruits. 

Tomato confit 

Makes 2 × 750g storage jars 

Ingredients 

1kg tomatoes, medium sized 

1kg cherry tomatoes 

6 bushy sprigs rosemary 

12 black peppercorns 

8 cloves, peeled garlic 

8 bushy sprigs thyme 

2 tsp sea salt 

3 tbsp caster sugar 

500ml olive oil 

You will also need 2 x 750ml 

storage jars 

Directions 

Put the kettle on. Cut a small 

cross at the tip of each of the 

medium tomatoes and put them 

in a heatproof bowl. When the 

water boils, pour it over the 

tomatoes and leave them for 4 or 

5 minutes. Remove the tomatoes 

from the water, then peel and 

discard the skins. 

Halve the tomatoes 

horizontally, then use a small 

teaspoon to remove the seeds. 

Place the peeled and seeded 

tomatoes, cut side up and tightly 

packed, in a roasting tin. 

Set the oven at 120degC. 

Slice the cherry tomatoes in 

half, but don’t skin them, remove 

the seeds with a teaspoon and 

tuck them among the larger 

tomatoes. 

Push the rosemary, 

peppercorns, garlic and thyme 

among the tomatoes. Scatter over 

the salt and sugar, pour over the 

olive oil and place in the oven. 

Leave to bake for 3 hours, then 

remove. 

Sterilise the storage jars, either 

by baking them or by pouring 

boiling water into them, tipping 

it out then leaving them to 

dry. 

While they are still hot, spoon 

in the tomatoes, herbs and garlic 

and pour over the olive oil and 

juices. Seal, cool, then refrigerate 

until needed.
