THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, <strong>2023</strong><br />
THE CULTURE of the small Pacific<br />
nation of Tuvalu was brought to life<br />
at Te Hāpua: Halswell Centre on<br />
Tuesday.<br />
The celebrations were part of<br />
Tuvalu Language Week, which ends<br />
on Saturday.<br />
About 60 people joined celebrations<br />
at Te Hāpua to share the<br />
language week theme, showcase<br />
traditional ceremony, attire, and arts<br />
and crafts.<br />
Tagata Tuvalu Ōtautahi is hosting<br />
the week’s events.<br />
Chair Puava Fiamalua said festivities<br />
aim to bring the Tuvaluan community<br />
closer together.<br />
“The language week theme is<br />
‘Fakatumau kae fakaakoi tau ‘gana<br />
ke mautu a iloga o ‘ta tuā’ which<br />
means to preserve and embrace your<br />
language to safeguard our heritage<br />
identities,” said Fiamalua.<br />
“This aligns with our goal to<br />
strengthen the Tuvaluan culture by<br />
connecting with one another and<br />
sharing our language, traditional<br />
food, games, dance and stories, as a<br />
small but proud community.”<br />
South Island funder Rātā Foundation<br />
is providing support to assist the<br />
removal of cost barriers to participation<br />
among the local community.<br />
Tuvalu is north east of Vanuatu<br />
and has a population of just over<br />
11,000.<br />

Eastgate<br />
mall ATM<br />
charges<br />
anger<br />
users<br />
AN ATM machine screen error<br />
led to public outcry over the<br />
weekend and has now forced the<br />
machine’s company to apologise<br />
for the mistake.<br />
People took to social media to<br />
express their shock after being<br />
informed while using newly<br />
installed ATM machines at<br />
Eastgate Mall that they would<br />
be charged $7.50 for each<br />
transaction.<br />
A plan to organise a gathering<br />
to protest the threatened usage<br />
charges, calling the charges<br />
“disgusting” and “criminal”.<br />
But on Monday morning Next<br />
Payments NZ, the operators of<br />
the machines, confirmed the<br />
charge was an ATM screen error<br />
– caused by a wrong file loaded<br />
on the screen files.<br />
General manager Wibo<br />
Basoma apologised and said the<br />
issue has been addressed and<br />
resolved.<br />
Basoma said all transactions<br />
were checked and no customer<br />
had been charged any of the<br />
advertised fees.<br />
However, he did confirm<br />
the ATMs would only be feesfree<br />
for the first three months<br />
of their operation before a<br />
standard $2.80 fee per successful<br />
cash withdrawal would be<br />
introduced.<br />

‘Bike hui’ first of its kind<br />
A NEW partnership between<br />
the city council, Bike On Trust<br />
and Waka Kotahi is supporting<br />
students to get the maximum<br />
benefit from their bikes and<br />
school tracks.<br />
The first ‘Bikes in Schools<br />
Ōtautahi Hui’, held at Te Ara<br />
Koropiko West Spreydon School,<br />
saw students and teachers from<br />
15 schools join the Cycle Safe<br />
team and Bike on Trust for a day<br />
of information and games.<br />
City council<br />
transport operations<br />
manager<br />
Stephen Wright<br />
said the hui was<br />
the first event of<br />
Stephen<br />
Wright<br />
its kind to be held<br />
in Christchurch.<br />
It was a great<br />
opportunity<br />
for schools to share ideas and<br />
experiences on how to get the<br />
most out of their bikes and bike<br />
tracks, he said.<br />
“Our team are keen to see<br />
our school kids learn new skills<br />
and get the chance to enjoy the<br />
fun that cycling brings,” Wright<br />
said.<br />
The Bikes in Schools programme<br />
involves schools<br />
constructing purpose-built cycle<br />
tracks on the school grounds,<br />
a fleet of new bikes and bike<br />
helmets, and storage facility,<br />
plus skills training for staff and<br />
students.<br />
Paul<br />
McArdle<br />
Paul McArdle<br />
from the Bike<br />
On Trust, said<br />
the trust works<br />
to give children<br />
regular and equal<br />
access to bikes<br />
and bike tracks<br />
within their<br />
school environment.<br />
McArdle is hopeful the hui<br />
model will be picked up by<br />
councils around New Zealand.<br />
“We hope other councils<br />
will follow Christchurch City<br />
Council’s lead, because when the<br />
cycling groups partner up, we<br />

McArdle said school children<br />

Rangers<br />
power<br />
up with<br />
e-utes<br />
CITY COUNCIL rangers are<br />
moving towards being ‘e-rangers’<br />
with the arrival of two new<br />
electric utes.<br />
The twin cab utes are a new<br />
addition for the Port Hills and<br />
Banks Peninsula regional park<br />
rangers, joining the fleet of one<br />
electric ‘side-by-side’ LUV vehicle<br />
and an electric motorcycle.<br />
“These vehicles may look like<br />
a standard park ranger ute, but<br />
they do enable the majority of our<br />
daily work – while helping out the<br />
environment and incurring reduced<br />
operational costs as we do<br />
it,” said Port Hills and Banks Peninsula<br />
head ranger Paul Devlin.<br />
The trucks come with a standard<br />
3-pin plug in the truck, allowing<br />
rangers to run electric tools or<br />
handheld battery chargers off the<br />
truck’s battery pack.<br />
“These basic 2WD EV utes with<br />
a range of 400km can still do 75<br />
per cent of the things we need<br />
ranger trucks to do. Just not off<br />
road, in the snow or towing too<br />
much,” Devlin said.<br />
He said it was a move towards<br />
the city council’s sustainability<br />
policy goals.<br />

The environmental school<br />
facilitating climate action<br />
Last week, young<br />
climate activists<br />
staged a ‘fly in’ at the<br />
city council building,<br />
demanding the<br />
retraction of support<br />
for the proposed<br />
international airport at<br />
Tarras, Central Otago.<br />
Today we look at an<br />
initiative called the<br />
Climate Action Campus<br />
CLIMATE CHANGE has<br />
become a significant concern<br />
worldwide, especially for young<br />
people.<br />
In Christchurch, students are<br />
able to channel their concerns<br />
into action by running projects<br />
through a collaborative Climate<br />
Action Campus, based at the<br />
former Avonside Girls’ High<br />
School site and nearby red zone.<br />
Ao Tawhiti<br />
Unlimited<br />
Discovery is<br />
the lead school,<br />
with primary<br />
and secondary<br />
students from<br />
Niki<br />
more than a<br />
dozen schools<br />
are getting<br />
Stephenson<br />
involved in projects to help bring<br />
environmental change.<br />
Said Climate Action Campus<br />
Ōtautahi director Niki<br />
Stephenson: “We understand<br />
that students have a lot of<br />
what we call climate angst and<br />
concern about the future, and we<br />
know that action is urgent.<br />
“We created this campus<br />
so that they can begin to take<br />
action. Kids will come with their<br />
passions and interests, and we<br />
will help them develop projects<br />
around them, so this campus<br />
has that ethos but with a lens on<br />
climate action.<br />
“Everyone from students,<br />
teachers, community volunteers,<br />
and city and government<br />
agencies are engaged, so the<br />
campus benefits from getting<br />
together as a ‘collective brain’ on<br />
the enormous challenges climate<br />
change presents.”<br />
The campus challenges<br />
students to start making climate<br />
action part of their everyday<br />
life, whether on campus or<br />
not. Students are taking on<br />
projects such as planting in the<br />
red zone, growing their own<br />
food, harvesting and cooking<br />
it, checking the water in the<br />
nearby Ōtākaro/Avon River, and<br />
looking at energy sources.<br />
“The joy of working with<br />
young people is that their<br />
ideas are amazing, and we are<br />
only beginning to scratch the<br />
surface of what is possible,” said<br />
Stephenson.<br />
The campus is supported<br />
by Rātā Foundation funding,<br />
helping students source project<br />
resources like greenhouses,<br />
irrigation equipment, beekeeping<br />
equipment, plants, and solar<br />
energy, which was installed<br />
in July. The panels help power<br />
the school and the Te Aratai<br />
Technology Centre, which shares<br />

the site.<br />
Said Stephenson: “Climate<br />
change is going to present many<br />
challenges, key amongst them<br />
is clean drinking water, food<br />
security, and energy security – so<br />
we are keen for students to tackle<br />
those with our support.<br />
“We’re hoping to be a very<br />
practical national and global<br />
example of how educators<br />
collaborating can support<br />
students to take action for their<br />
futures.<br />
“And we keep finding all sorts<br />
of groups and individuals who<br />

want to be involved, which is<br />
fantastic.<br />
“The big idea is that we would<br />
like to become a community<br />
energy hub so that when<br />
communities lose energy, there<br />
are places they can go to ensure<br />
they can charge their phones and<br />
cook a meal.<br />
“Ultimately the even bigger<br />
concept is a solar farm. We<br />
need something like 70 per cent<br />
more renewable energy in New<br />
Zealand over the next 20 years.<br />
That’s enormous, and schools are<br />
great places for it.”<br />
Rātā Foundation chief<br />
executive Leighton Evans said<br />
the programme’s strength is<br />
educating young people about<br />
climate change and its impact<br />
while empowering them to<br />
implement change.<br />
“Educating young people<br />
about the importance of<br />
sustainability, with hands-on,<br />
practical examples, gives them<br />
the confidence and agency to do<br />
their bit to combat the climate<br />
crisis,” said Evans.<br />
“Undoubtedly, the campus is<br />
a unique initiative with hopes<br />
it will inspire others. We are<br />
looking forward to seeing the<br />
project ideas it generates and the<br />
results.”<br />
In term four, a natives play<br />
forest project will start at the<br />
campus. A collaboration with<br />
Citycare and Sport Canterbury,<br />
the project aims to engage<br />
students in designing a natives<br />
play forest that will be accessible<br />
to everyone. Students will go to<br />
campus every week and work<br />
with experts on alternate weeks,<br />
to learn about propagation and<br />
be responsible for growing some<br />
of the plants from seed, planting<br />
saplings and being guardians.<br />
Climate Action Campus also<br />
runs events for adults, which<br />
can be found on their Facebook<br />
page. For all queries, message<br />

Young<br />
ballerina<br />
TOUCH THE SKY:<br />
Olivia Russell,<br />
Tamison’s dance<br />
instructor, has ‘helped<br />
her get to where she<br />
is today’.<br />
faces<br />
decision of<br />
a lifetime<br />
EN POINTE: Tamison Soppet has gained a scholarship to some of the world’s best ballet<br />
schools after winning a major competition in Sydney.<br />
• By Sasha Watson<br />
TAMISON SOPPET might only<br />
be 13, but she has what could be<br />
a life-defining decision to make.<br />
The Convergence Dance<br />
Studios student has been offered<br />
scholarships to the Royal Ballet<br />
School in London, John Cranko<br />
Ballet in Germany, Princess<br />
Grace Dance Academy in<br />
Monaco and the Australian<br />
Ballet School in Melbourne.<br />
Tamison has the opportunity<br />
to follow in the footsteps of<br />
Italian Alessandra Ferri, who<br />
attended the Royal Ballet School<br />
in the early 1980’s; or Queen<br />
Elizabeth II’s appointed prima<br />
ballerina assoluta of the school,<br />
Dame Margot Fonteyn; or even<br />
the famous Rudolf Nureyev.<br />
“Tamison has been competing<br />
all her life and dancing since<br />
she was four. Her dream is to<br />
become a professional dancer,”<br />
said her mother, Toni Soppet.<br />
“Now, she has an opportunity<br />
to travel the world, experience<br />
dancing at different schools, and<br />
see what is out there for her.”<br />
Tamison competed at the<br />
Youth America Grand Prix ballet<br />
competition, held in Sydney late<br />
last month, against more than<br />
200 dancers aged 12-14.<br />
After three days of performing<br />
and attending masterclasses,<br />
Tamison was called back for<br />
further judging, where the junior<br />
grand prix title was officially<br />
awarded to her by consensus of a<br />
four-judge panel.<br />
The scholarship enables her<br />
to attend one of four top ballet<br />
schools in the world for a period<br />
of up to four weeks.<br />
“Winning is one thing and<br />
absolutely something to be proud<br />
of, but the scholarships and<br />
exposure is where the ‘excel’ part<br />
starts,” said Soppet.<br />
“Tamison is over the moon to<br />
have such an accomplishment<br />
under her belt. This is the<br />
first time she’s been overseas<br />
to compete - which is pretty<br />
incredible.”<br />
She said Tamison was judged<br />
for her ‘artistry, technicality,<br />
musicality, and performance’ in<br />
both classical and contemporary<br />
categories.<br />
“We moved to Convergence<br />
Dance Studios a couple of years<br />
ago and I cannot give Olivia<br />
Russell, her dance instructor,<br />
enough credit,” said Soppet.<br />
“Her incredible nurturing,<br />
time, effort and training has<br />
helped Tamison get to where she<br />
is today.”<br />
Outside of dancing, Soppet<br />
said Tamison enjoys swapping<br />
her ballet shoes for gumboots<br />
while hanging out at her friend’s<br />
alpaca farm, and doing ‘normal<br />
kid’ things.<br />

Synchro Dolphins take silver<br />
THE PROVINCE’S future in<br />
synchronised swimming looks<br />
to be in good hands, following<br />
Canterbury Dolphins’ success at<br />
last week’s Artistic Swimming<br />
Nationals in Auckland.<br />
The Canterbury Dolphins,<br />
a team of five swimmers, took<br />
second place in the Dolphin<br />
Combo under 16s competition,<br />
against six other teams from<br />
across the country.<br />
The talented young synchro<br />
swimmers showcased their<br />
abilities during a three-minute<br />
routine set to a medley of<br />
Mission Impossible, James Bond,<br />
and Pink Panther tunes.<br />
All but two of the girls joined<br />
the team in recent months.<br />
12-year-old Georgie Halliwell<br />
was introduced to the sport<br />
earlier this year by her school<br />
friend Emily Betteridge, 12.<br />
Emily has been a part of<br />
Canterbury Artistic Swimming<br />
for two years, alongside<br />
teammate Alex Macfarlane, 12.<br />
“It’s like underwater<br />
gymnastics,” said Emily about<br />
the sport.<br />
“And you’re doing it in perfect<br />
sync with the rest of the team –<br />
it’s challenging! We count, and<br />
we listen to the music.”<br />
Georgie shared her excitement<br />
about participating in the event.<br />
“Synchronised swimming is a<br />
combination of all my favourite<br />
things, with swimming, music,<br />
and creating routines all being<br />
important,” she said.<br />
“It’s really fun being part of a<br />
team, and we train hard.”<br />
The team’s dedication is<br />
evident in their rigorous training<br />
regimen, which consisted of five<br />
hours a week throughout the<br />
year.<br />
Coach Jo Biddle expressed her<br />
pride in the girls’ dedication and<br />
focus.<br />
“I’m super proud of these girls<br />
and how they’ve truly committed<br />
themselves to achieve these<br />
remarkable results,” she said.<br />
“They’ve come a long way<br />
and have truly earned this<br />
recognition.”<br />
Team member Kayla Camm-<br />
Rule also demonstrated her<br />

Canterbury Artistic<br />
Swimming is on a high as<br />
these young athletes continue<br />
to make waves in the world<br />
of synchronised swimming,<br />
showcasing their talent,<br />
dedication and passion for<br />
the sport.<br />
Kōrero mai, let’s talk about our<br />
Safer speed plan<br />
Way safer for everyone<br />
We’re planning to make more speed limit<br />
changes in some areas across Christchurch.<br />
Lower speeds can save lives and prevent serious injury.<br />
Reducing our speed makes a major difference in a crash.<br />
People make mistakes on our roads, and those mistakes<br />
shouldn’t cost our neighbours, whānau or pets their lives.<br />
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency have changed the way<br />
speed limits are set. This gives us an opportunity to plan an<br />
area-wide approach for speed changes.<br />
We’re asking for feedback on our 10-year vision and<br />
principles for safe speeds across Christchurch and Banks<br />
Peninsula, as well as our first three years of implementation.<br />

The city’s history<br />
with a camera<br />
THE SEARCH is on once again<br />
for unique photos that tell the<br />
stories of Christchurch.<br />
The annual Christchurch City<br />
Libraries’ photo hunt started this<br />
week and will run alongside the<br />
city’s heritage festival.<br />
The photo hunt aims to gather<br />
and preserve photographs from<br />
across the community, along<br />
with the unique stories of their<br />
creators. The theme this year is<br />
‘Our Stories of Living and Learning’.<br />
Susan Hanham won last year’s<br />
photo hunt with a portrait of<br />
herself and her sister Catherine<br />
during the 1974 Commonwealth<br />
Games at Queen Elizabeth II<br />
Park.<br />
Hanham recalled the Commonwealth<br />
Games being a “really<br />
big deal” for the city. Her mother<br />
had sewn special clothes in the<br />
games’ colours.<br />
“Mum handled the finances<br />
in our family, and she always set<br />
money aside in a tin, called the<br />
fun tin. So, in this instance we<br />
got to go to the opening of the<br />
Commonwealth Games in our<br />
‘special’ games outfits.”<br />
Acting head of libraries and information<br />
Erica Rankin said the<br />
hunt aims to highlight the key<br />
moments in the city’s history.<br />
“We find the photo hunt<br />
incredibly valuable in preserving<br />
these stories for our future generations<br />
to learn from and enjoy,”<br />
she said.<br />
“We have many stories, from<br />
Ngāi Tahu and other iwi, European<br />
settlers, Pasifika and people<br />
of many ethnic and cultural<br />
backgrounds who have made this<br />
place home.”<br />
Submitted photographs will be<br />
showcased on the Discovery Wall<br />
at Tūranga, and as part of the<br />
permanent heritage collections at<br />
Christchurch City Libraries.<br />
Māori history, climate<br />
change key concerns<br />
PROTECTING Māori history<br />
and dealing with adverse<br />
weather events are key points<br />
to emerge from community<br />
consultation for the Te Pataka<br />
o Rakaihautū Banks Peninsula<br />
Destination Management Plan.<br />
The plan has entered a final<br />
focused review before it is<br />
completed in November.<br />
Key points from community<br />
consultation include finding<br />
better mechanisms to<br />
manage cruise ships, better<br />
infrastructure to deal with<br />
adverse weather events, and<br />
protecting the region’s Māori<br />
history and community<br />
character with slower, more<br />
engaged tourism.<br />
In May, initial feedback on the<br />
draft plan was shared and since<br />
then further submissions have<br />
been received.<br />
Considerations include<br />
continued mana whenua<br />
consultation, the community<br />
hui on cruise ships held in<br />
August, and peer reviewing of<br />
the plan by an industry expert.<br />
PHOTO: NEWSLINE<br />
The plan is being developed<br />
with specific areas of<br />
community focus, such as<br />
encouraging longer stays<br />
for visitors, reducing the<br />
environmental and social<br />
impact of tourism, emphasising<br />
the unique culture and<br />
natural environment of the<br />
area, and giving attention to<br />
infrastructure and facilities.<br />

Diabetes-friendly keto creations<br />
WHEN CHEF Nerys<br />
Whelan started living<br />
the keto lifestyle in<br />
2019, she began a<br />
mission to make keto<br />
more sustainable long<br />
term by providing<br />
inspiration and recipes<br />
to others<br />
She has worked with Dr Glen<br />
Davis, a doctor working in<br />
metabolic disease and lifestyle<br />
medicine, who says food is more<br />
than nutrients and fuel and it is<br />
possible to have health and wellness<br />
without compromising on<br />
the joy of food.<br />
A keto diet significantly<br />
reduces using glucose as fuel,<br />
turning off the making of new<br />
fat and leaving only dietary fat<br />
and stored fat for fuel. Insulin<br />
controls the balance as it carries<br />
the glucose around the body to<br />
use as energy, and controlling the<br />
insulin in your body has been<br />
proved to be helpful for those<br />
with diabetes.<br />
Turmeric Thai chicken<br />
curry<br />
Makes 4 portions<br />
Suitable for GF, sugar-free, DF,<br />
egg-free<br />
Ingredients<br />
3 Tbsp olive oil<br />
8 chicken thighs, skinless, boneless<br />
3 Tbsp red curry paste, lowsugar<br />
1 small onion, sliced<br />
1 Tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated<br />
1 clove garlic, crushed<br />
2 tsp ground coriander<br />
1½ tsp ground turmeric<br />
1 tsp salt<br />
½ tsp white pepper<br />
400ml coconut milk<br />
½ head broccoli or 2 bunches<br />
broccolini<br />
1 lime, zest and juice<br />
Method<br />
• Preheat a heavy-based pot<br />
over a high heat. Once hot, add<br />
2 tablespoons of oil and sear the<br />
chicken thighs on both sides until<br />
golden brown. Remove them<br />
from the pot and set aside.<br />
• In the same pot, add another<br />
tablespoon of oil and the<br />
sliced onion, and cook until<br />
translucent. Then add the curry<br />
paste, ginger, garlic, coriander,<br />
turmeric, salt and pepper. Cook<br />
for another 2–3 minutes until<br />
fragrant.<br />
• Add the coconut milk and<br />
return the chicken to the sauce.<br />
Turn it down to a low heat and<br />
simmer for 15–20 minutes until<br />
the chicken is cooked through.<br />
• Cut the broccoli into florets,<br />
or trim the broccolini, and add<br />
them to the sauce. Cover the<br />
pot and simmer for another 4–7<br />
minutes until the broccoli is<br />
tender.<br />
• Lastly, stir through the lime<br />
zest and juice, then taste and<br />
adjust the seasoning, if needed.<br />
Nutrition Note: Turmeric is well<br />
known for its anti-inflammatory<br />
and antioxidant properties.<br />
Peanut butter cup slice<br />
Makes 24 slices<br />
Suitable for GF, sugar-free, vegetarian,<br />
egg-free<br />
For the base<br />
150g butter, melted<br />
200g ground almonds<br />
90g allulose<br />
50g cocoa powder<br />
35g peanuts, chopped<br />
½ tsp ground cinnamon<br />
For the peanut butter layer<br />
500g smooth peanut butter (no<br />
added sugar)<br />
80g unflavoured or vanilla, lowcarb<br />
protein powder<br />
150g Allulose<br />
1 tsp Vanilla paste or essence<br />
For the chocolate<br />
200g sugar-free dark chocolate,<br />
chopped, or baking bits<br />
40g coconut oil<br />
35g peanuts, chopped<br />
Method<br />
• Preheat your oven to 170°C<br />
fan bake and line a 20cm × 30cm<br />
slice tray with baking paper.<br />
• In a bowl, mix the base ingredients<br />
together and press evenly<br />
into the bottom of the lined tray.<br />
• Bake for 8-10 minutes until<br />
the top looks dry, then press the<br />
base down with a flat object or<br />
the back of a spoon. Allow the<br />
base to cool completely at room<br />
temperature before continuing.<br />
• Heat the peanut butter in a<br />
double boiler or in a microwavesafe<br />
bowl on low, stirring every<br />
30 seconds, until it has thinned<br />
out and is easy to mix.<br />
• Stir in the protein powder.<br />
If you’re using a vanilla protein<br />
powder, it may have sweetness in<br />
it already, so start with half the<br />
sweetener, then taste the mix and<br />
add more as needed.<br />
• Stir through the vanilla and<br />
mix until combined, then set it<br />
aside.<br />
• Melt the chocolate and coconut<br />
oil in a double boiler, or in<br />
a microwave-safe bowl, stirring<br />
every 30 seconds.<br />
• Once the chocolate is<br />
smooth, pour it into the peanut<br />
butter bowl and fold it through<br />
3-5 times. You don’t want to<br />
completely mix the chocolate<br />
and peanut butter so the less<br />
mixing the better. Alternatively,<br />
you can do a layer of peanut<br />
butter filling, then just pour the<br />
chocolate on top.<br />
• Spread the peanut butter<br />
chocolate layer over the base<br />
and sprinkle with the chopped<br />
peanuts. Set it in the fridge for<br />
