‘None of them listened to Led Zep’<br />
ST ANDREW’S<br />
COVER SONG GOES<br />
VIRAL<br />
• By Pierre Nixon<br />
ST ANDREW’S College band’s<br />
performance of the classic<br />
Led Zeppelin song Stairway to<br />
Heaven has gone viral.<br />
The performance at the college’s<br />
prizegiving has become<br />
an internet sensation, accumulating<br />
more than 150,000 views<br />
and 4000 likes on Facebook.<br />
The rendition of the 1971 rock<br />
anthem was the main event at<br />
annual prizegiving, leaving the<br />
audience of about 3500 attendees<br />
in awe.<br />
The band, comprising more<br />
than 100 musicians, skillfully<br />
blended the sounds of<br />
the school’s rock band, school<br />
orchestra, senior choir, and jazz<br />
band.<br />
At the helm of the performance<br />
were St Andrew’s head of<br />
the music department, Duncan<br />
Ferguson, and music teacher,<br />
Mark Hodgkinson.<br />
Their guidance, combined<br />
with the talents of lead singer<br />
Grace Burnett (right), lead guitarist<br />
Mia Fraser, and acoustic<br />
guitarist James McIver, played<br />
a pivotal role in bringing the<br />
cover to life.<br />
Ferguson said he “didn’t expect”<br />
the amount of traction the<br />
performance would get online.<br />
“I sat down at breakfast on<br />
Saturday morning and suddenly<br />
discovered there were 12,000<br />
views, and I thought, oh, that’s a<br />
bit interesting,” Ferguson said.<br />
“Then, over the course of the<br />
weekend, it just got a bit nuts<br />
and, it’s exciting.”<br />
Ferguson said co-ordinating<br />
the band was “about a year-long<br />
process” but “wasn’t as hard as<br />
it seemed”.<br />
“The first time all the groups<br />
came together and heard it was<br />
just three days before the prizegiving<br />
where we had our final<br />
dress rehearsal,” he said.<br />
He admitted none of the<br />
students were that excited about<br />
the performance at the start of<br />
the year because “they were all<br />
quite young, and none of them<br />
listened to Led Zeppelin”.<br />
“But once they saw all the<br />
groups together, they suddenly<br />
caught the vision for it, and they<br />
then got quite excited,” Ferguson<br />
said.<br />
Stairway to Heaven was<br />
written in late 1971 by Led<br />
Zeppelin’s guitarist Jimmy Page<br />
and lead singer Robert Plant<br />
for their untitled fourth studio<br />
album (commonly known as<br />
Led Zeppelin IV).<br />
The song is widely regarded as<br />
one of the greatest rock songs of<br />
all time.<br />

Iconic Kingswood back on the road<br />
• By Sasha Watson<br />
IT WAS the VIP car of choice<br />
during the 1974 Commonwealth<br />
Games in Christchurch.<br />
And now one of the distinctive<br />
Holden Kingwoods will be part<br />
of the Santa Parade in New<br />
Brighton on Saturday.<br />
The Kingswood is the New<br />
Brighton Museum’s showpiece<br />
in the parade, which starts at<br />
10.30am.<br />
Museum president Wayne<br />
Hawker said the vehicle is “the<br />
jewel in their crown”.<br />
“After the games, the<br />
Kingswoods were sold off. This<br />
particular vehicle was bought by<br />
the Freakish family and has been<br />
owned by the same family ever<br />
since.<br />
“While its owner, Clint, is<br />
based in Nelson, parents Paul<br />
and Heather care for the car<br />
which is based here.”<br />
The parade will take place on<br />
the corner of Marine Pde and<br />
Hawke St, alongside the seaside<br />
market which opens at 10am.<br />
There will be an array of arts<br />
and crafts, as well as gift-ware<br />
to choose from alongside food,<br />
a bouncy castle for children and<br />
free face painting.<br />
Santa will arrive on New<br />
Brighton Beach at 10.15am and<br />
at about 11.30am, the market<br />
entertainment will begin until<br />
the closure of the event at 2pm.<br />

Collaborative planting efforts win award<br />
A FOREST FULL: (From left) Zara Clark, Tess Sitjes, Sana Fujii and Ruby Young of St Margaret’s College were part of 24 school teams which played a part<br />
in planting more than 30,000 natives this year.<br />
• By Sasha Watson<br />
ST MARGARET’S College was<br />
one of 24 schools which played<br />
a part in planting more than<br />
30,000 natives in the city’s red<br />
zone this year.<br />
They have been recognised<br />
as part of an outstanding<br />
collaboration<br />
with the Eco<br />
Action Nursery<br />
Trust, and<br />
the wider<br />
community.<br />
Trust chair<br />
David Newton<br />
said while it<br />
David<br />
Newton<br />
was the trust<br />
which received<br />
the outstanding collaboration<br />
award at the Sustainable<br />
Business Network awards<br />
ceremony, it was the “multiple<br />
collaborations between the trust,<br />
the community, the council,<br />
the schools and organisations”<br />
which played an integral part in<br />
the win.<br />
Said Newton: “It shows us<br />
that we can’t do this alone<br />
and recognises the strength of<br />
working together.”<br />
The trust grows native trees<br />
and plants suitable for native<br />
bird food and habitats within<br />
the red zone, sourced from the<br />
Travis Wetlands.<br />
Said St Margaret’s director<br />
of community relations Jane<br />
Lougher: “We are thrilled to have<br />
been part of a collective effort to<br />
plant more than 30,000 native<br />
plants this year, 5500 of which<br />
were propagated in our own St<br />
Margaret’s College nursery with<br />
the support of our middle and<br />
senior students.<br />
“Congratulations to<br />
Eco-Action Nursery Trust,<br />
Õtautahi-Christchurch and<br />
Waitaha-Canterbury for this<br />
well-deserved recognition.”<br />
The trust was founded in<br />
2016 as a way to create learning<br />
opportunities for students<br />
by taking action in their<br />
communities to tackle climate<br />
change.<br />
Said Newton: “The schools<br />
are a fundamental part of<br />
the project, as the students<br />
learn practical skills, more<br />
about horticulture and the<br />
environment.<br />
“They have expressed how they<br />
feel better about their impact<br />
on climate change through this<br />
project.”<br />
To date, the satellite nurseries<br />
have contributed 20,764<br />
volunteer hours of planting.<br />
The sustainable business<br />
awards, which have been<br />
running for 21 years, recognise<br />
and celebrate success in<br />
sustainability.<br />
Next year, the trust is looking<br />
to double the number of plants<br />
grown to about 60,000.<br />
Said Newton: “We’ll just keep<br />
doing what we do – I want to get<br />
as many plants in the ground<br />
within the next 10 years before<br />
I die.”<br />
Santa will be in centre from Saturday<br />

AN OLYMPIC hopeful wants<br />
to go all the way in<br />
racewalking, but first he has<br />
to raise the funds to fly to the<br />
world championships.<br />
Jonah Cropp, 18, will<br />
represent New Zealand in<br />
the 10km event at the World<br />
Athletics racewalking team<br />
championships in Turkey in<br />
April.<br />
“It does feel really good<br />
with how far I’ve come with<br />
it, but I still plan to go way,<br />
way further,” he said.<br />
The recently graduated St<br />
Andrew’s College student<br />
began racewalking when he<br />
was 10. His peers did not take<br />
the sport seriously when he<br />
first started.<br />
“People just thought it was<br />
a wee silly thing. But, as I got<br />
more and more awards for it,<br />
they started being, like, even<br />
if they didn’t know me, oh,<br />
that’s the speedwalking guy.”<br />
Racewalking is similar to<br />
speed or powerwalking and<br />
has two main rules – one foot<br />
must be on the ground at all<br />
times and competitors must<br />
keep their bottom leg straight<br />
until the leading leg lands.<br />
Cropp said the most<br />
difficult challenge is<br />
maintaining speed over a<br />
long distance.<br />
“You have to really work to<br />
try and keep the same pace<br />
for every single kilometre.”<br />
He won the 10km<br />
event at the New Zealand<br />
road running championships<br />
in September. His time of<br />
47min, 23sec in the under-20<br />
event qualified him for the<br />
world championships.<br />
To save the $3000 required<br />
for the trip to Turkey, Cropp<br />
will host sausage sizzles and<br />
offer a lawn mowing service.<br />
He plans to study<br />
psychology and sports<br />
coaching at Canterbury<br />
University next year.<br />
“I’m going to be focusing a<br />
lot more on my sport.”<br />
Cropp’s long-term goal is<br />
to qualify for the Los Angeles<br />
Olympics in 2028 or Brisbane<br />
in 2032.<br />
To prepare for the world<br />
championships he trains in<br />
the gym twice a week and has<br />
a cardio session on Sunday<br />
and a race on Saturday.<br />
“It’s very enjoyable. I’ve<br />
made tonnes of progress,<br />
looking back at what I was<br />
doing last year compared<br />
to this year, or the year<br />
beforehand.”<br />

With the year racing towards<br />
the Christmas break and Santa<br />
dusting off his red suit I thought<br />
I’d outline something I took part in<br />
recently that’s been enlightening,<br />
and I hope worthy of sharing.<br />
I’ve just completed a character strengths<br />
survey.<br />
No big deal, I can hear you say. Surely you<br />
know your own strengths. But sometimes<br />
you don’t – or the things you perceived to<br />
be strengths aren’t as high up the list as<br />
you’d envisaged.<br />
The actual survey was the VIA Character<br />
Strengths Survey.<br />
It’s easily accessible online, deemed to<br />
be psychometrically validated (which is a<br />
term that attests to a tool’s accuracy and<br />
meaning) and all very necessary when<br />
you consider the information you’ll be<br />
receiving.<br />
You can choose the free test, like me,<br />
rather than joining up to anything greater<br />
and after answering some 90-plus multichoice<br />
questions you get your five top<br />
strengths. In fact, you actually get each of<br />
the 24 strengths identified as Top, Middle<br />
or Lesser.<br />
The strengths themselves are derived<br />
from Virtues originally defined by<br />
Peterson and Seligman, who co-authored<br />
Character Strengths and Virtues. These<br />
virtues are Wisdom, Courage, Humanity,<br />
Justice, Temperance and Transcendence.<br />
Hailed as groundbreaking, this book was<br />
the culmination of a three-year research<br />
project involving 55 social scientists<br />
and was described as “descriptive not<br />
prescriptive, endeavouring to classify<br />
ingredients of goodness in humans across<br />
all cultures and nations.” I really like this<br />
idea and although it all sounds fairly lofty,<br />
the actual survey, once taken – and I’m<br />
encouraging everyone I know to do just<br />
that – shines a light on what makes you,<br />
you!<br />
So here were some of my top strengths,<br />
starting with number one.<br />
Drumroll and no surprise:<br />
Leadership followed by Kindness and<br />
Bravery.<br />
Bravery resonated deeply with me because<br />
it is deemed as acting on conviction, even<br />
if it’s unpopular, something that’s been a<br />
constant in my career. And here I’ll switch<br />
to the least of my strengths, Humour.<br />
Although I’d love to feign surprise, it’s a<br />
definite reminder to work on having more<br />
fun and trying to see the lighter side of life.<br />
And the benefits of knowing all of this?<br />
Quite simply, to build resilience and reduce<br />
stress and anxiety, whilst increasing your<br />
wellbeing. To continue to nurture the<br />
qualities that allow you to flourish and<br />
work on attributes that, once identified,<br />
could be further developed.<br />
There you have it. With 24 strengths<br />
there’s more than enough for all of us to<br />
find the right fit and I’m sure if you decide<br />
to do it you won’t be disappointed.<br />
Now some reflections based on the year<br />
that’s been.<br />
Travel<br />
I’m deeply committed to learning more<br />
about the world and this year I’ve seen<br />
lots of it. I’ve observed changes in climate<br />
and habitats, and seen up-close some of<br />
the consequences of this with travel to<br />
the Amazon, Antarctica and South Africa.<br />
Family and Friends<br />
They are worthy of prioritizing and I’m so<br />
grateful for the love I share with both.<br />
Kindness<br />
A little goes a long way and whether in<br />
business or in life I’m sure all of us could<br />
benefit from more.<br />
So, with that can I wish you a happy<br />
Christmas, encourage you to follow<br />
your heart at least a little and live your<br />
strengths.<br />
Who knows where they will take you.<br />

Just a little bit naughty<br />
Banana and chocolate<br />
chip mug cakes<br />
Serves 2<br />
Ingredients<br />
2 very ripe bananas, peeled<br />
2 eggs<br />
1 tsp vanilla extract<br />
25g butter, melted<br />
½ cup flour<br />
1 tsp baking soda<br />
1 tsp cinnamon<br />
pinch of salt<br />
½ cup milk chocolate chips<br />
walnuts, roughly chopped, to<br />
serve<br />
Cream cheese icing<br />
50g butter, melted<br />
100g cream cheese, at room temperature<br />
2 heaped Tbsp icing sugar<br />
Method<br />
• For the cream cheese icing,<br />
The creator of the sweet chilli jam, ham and cream<br />
cheese scrolls that went viral during lockdown, Kitty<br />
Williams, is sharing more of her “naughty, indulgent’’<br />
recipes in her first cookbook, Kitty’s Kitchen: Just a<br />
Little Bit Naughty.<br />
The city centre resident started out with a<br />
sandwich making business, then a food truck,<br />
followed by a small catering business before she<br />
discovered the power of Instagram. It enabled her to<br />
fully indulge in her passion for “naughty ingredients”.<br />
As she says, “butter is good for the soul”. – ODT<br />
PHOTOS: CHRIS SHARPE<br />
put the butter in a small bowl.<br />
Heat in the microwave on high<br />
for 30 seconds or so, until melted.<br />
Add the cream cheese and icing<br />
sugar. Whisk until smooth then<br />
set aside.<br />
• Mash the bananas in a large<br />
bowl until smooth. Add eggs,<br />
vanilla essence and melted butter<br />
and stir until well combined.<br />
• Sift in the flour, baking soda,<br />
cinnamon and salt. Stir until well<br />
combined but take care not to<br />
over-stir. Fold in chocolate chips.<br />
• Divide the mixture between<br />
two mugs. One at a time, cook<br />
the mug cakes in the microwave<br />
for 2 minutes on high. (Every<br />
microwave is different so test after<br />
1 minute and go from there.) It’s<br />
better to be undercooked than<br />
overcooked – when you press<br />
the cake it should feel light and<br />
springy.<br />
• The cakes will be quite hot so<br />
it’s best to leave them for a couple<br />
of minutes to cool down slightly<br />
before icing. Pop the cream<br />
cheese icing into a snap-lock bag,<br />
or use a piping bag. You want<br />
to fill the corner. Twist the bag<br />
around until it feels tight, then<br />
snip the corner off using scissors.<br />
Do whatever design you desire,<br />
then top with the walnuts.<br />
Spicy prawn spaghetti<br />
with whipped parmesan<br />
ricotta<br />
Serves 4<br />
Ingredients<br />
500g tomatoes, halved (I used<br />
vine tomatoes)<br />
1 red onion, roughly chopped<br />
4 garlic cloves<br />
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar<br />
2 Tbsp olive oil<br />
500g ricotta<br />
150g Parmesan, grated<br />
juice of ½ lemon<br />
200g spaghetti<br />
2½ cups thawed frozen prawns,<br />
peeled and deveined<br />
1 tsp chilli flakes<br />
butter for cooking<br />
handful of parsley, roughly<br />
chopped<br />
handful of basil, roughly<br />
chopped<br />
handful of coriander, roughly<br />
chopped<br />
Method<br />
• Preheat the oven to 180°C.<br />
• Put the tomatoes, red onion,<br />
garlic, balsamic vinegar and a<br />
drizzle of olive oil in an ovenproof<br />
dish and season with<br />
salt and pepper. Give it a good<br />
toss then chuck in the oven for<br />
35-40 minutes. The tomatoes<br />
should collapse into a sauce by<br />
this point and the house should<br />
smell divine!<br />
• Put the ricotta, Parmesan,<br />
lemon juice, a pinch of salt and<br />
a glug of olive oil into a blender<br />
and blitz until smooth.<br />
• Bring a pot of water to the<br />
boil and add the spaghetti.<br />
Cook until al dente.<br />
• Drain, reserving a cup of the<br />
starchy cooking water.<br />
• Drain off any excess liquid<br />
from the prawns, then pat them<br />
dry with a paper towel.<br />
• Coat the prawns in chilli<br />
flakes then pop them into a<br />
hot pan with a knob of butter.<br />
Once the prawns are almost<br />
cooked (they should still be just<br />
a touch translucent), add the<br />
tomato sauce to the prawns, stir<br />
through, then add the spaghetti<br />
and the reserved starchy water.<br />
Turn off the heat and add all of<br />
the fresh herbs, then stir again.<br />
• Grab a large serving dish.<br />
Put the whipped Parmesan<br />
ricotta on first, then top with<br />
the prawn spaghetti.<br />

Start a new<br />
Christmas tradition<br />
What could be better than starting some new family traditions this year? Christmas traditions are memories<br />
in the making and help spread a little festive cheer whether with your loved ones or out in the community.<br />
10 great ideas to help make Christmas a magical time of the year<br />
1. Create a Christmas playlist with some of<br />
your favourite carols and songs – play it<br />
loud and every day, if that’s your thing.<br />
Or plan a pre-Christmas sing-along<br />
evening – don’t forget to supply the song<br />
sheet so everyone can join in too.<br />
2. Get into the spirit of Christmas by getting<br />
together with family or friends to help<br />
decorate each other’s houses – turn up<br />
the music, drink the wine and go all out<br />
to deck the halls.<br />
3. Make and send homemade Christmas<br />
cards – there’s nothing more exciting<br />
than getting mail, right? Or how about<br />
writing some generic ones and dropping<br />
them into your nearest retirement<br />
home to brighten up an elderly person’s<br />
Christmas.<br />
4. Buy your family Christmas tee-shirts or<br />
Santa hats to wear on the day and don’t<br />
forget to take a family selfie.<br />
5. Fill a shoebox with gifts for a child, wrap<br />
it with a bow, and deliver to the nearest<br />
community gift tree – check with your<br />
local library and label with age and<br />
gender.<br />
6. Have a yearly family, friends or neighbour<br />
outdoor games night with drinks and<br />
nibbles leading up to the big day – think<br />
Pétanque, hoopla, mini golf, giant chess,<br />
or croquet.<br />
7. Take a leaf out of Iceland’s traditional<br />
‘Jolabokaflod’ or Christmas Book Flood,<br />
and give a book as a gift on Christmas<br />
Eve each year – don’t forget to write<br />
inside the cover who it’s from and the<br />
date.<br />
8. Make a list of must see Christmas movies<br />
to watch a week before Christmas day<br />
and tick off the ones you’ve watched.<br />
Don’t forget the popcorn and hot<br />
chocolate or nibbles and wine.<br />
9. Make and give a handmade ornament<br />
as a gift each year – the lucky receiver’s<br />
Christmas tree will be covered with<br />
beautiful, handmade memories.<br />
10. Make homemade hot chocolate on<br />
Christmas Eve or on Christmas morning<br />
to drink while the presents are being<br />
opened – decorate with whipped cream,<br />
grated chocolate, marshmallows, or<br />
crushed candy canes.<br />

THE ICONIC Jeep is trail blazing<br />
a new path for the brand as<br />
it enters for the first time the low<br />
emission world or electrification,<br />
by offering a plug-hybrid<br />
(PHEV) option across many of<br />
its models.<br />
The Renegade fires the opening<br />
shot in the new electrified<br />
Jeep range in the form of a<br />
$69,990 AWD plug-in hybrid<br />
being reviewed in this road test.<br />
It is pricey for an aging, small<br />
and quirky looking SUV. Carrying<br />
the 4xe badge, PHEV and EV<br />
Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />
models will underpin the most<br />
efficient and environmentally<br />
responsible Jeeps ever. The company<br />
is shooting for the electrified<br />
stars and aiming to have EV<br />
offerings in each SUV segment<br />
in the next few years. It’s already<br />
started that journey here with<br />
the recent launched fully electric<br />
Avenger.<br />
4xe models offer strong performance<br />
and driving dynamics<br />
across the Jeep catalogue, from<br />
the Renegade to the Grand Cherokee<br />
and everything between.<br />
Each model features legendary<br />
4x4 abilities fine tuned for more<br />
than 80 years, while still an ideal<br />
choice for everyday city driving<br />
with an average all electric range<br />
of 45-50km.<br />
With E-Select modes – the<br />
4xe driver can tailor the hybrid<br />
power train to best suit each<br />
trip from daily commuting in<br />
pure-electric mode to extended<br />
Incorporating<br />
best motorbuys<br />
www.drivesouth.co.nz<br />
Trailblazing Jeep Renegade leads the way<br />
highway road trips with no range<br />
anxiety, except for the totally<br />
paranoid. All three modes are<br />
selectable via three buttons. In<br />
the test vehicle these are located<br />
in the centre console.<br />
The 4xe hybrid solution combines<br />
enhanced performance<br />
up to 177kW. This is a lot of<br />
power for a small SUV. Given<br />
its off-beat looks, it’s a performance<br />
wolf in sheep’s clothing.<br />
This impressive power output is<br />
achieved by pairing a 1.3-litre<br />
turbo petrol engine with an electric<br />
motor nestled between the<br />
rear axle, which is powered by an<br />
11.4kW battery that can be recharged<br />
while driving or through<br />
an external power outlet.<br />
While not the smoothest or<br />
sweetest sounding motor, it is, if<br />
nothing else a highly entertaining<br />
drive – a little less so when<br />
it runs out of battery power to<br />
hurry things along. A six-speed<br />
automatic does a competent<br />
enough job. The test vehicle’s<br />
transmission isn’t the most polished<br />
in its class, with a few more<br />
rough edges than you would<br />
expect given its lofty price tag.<br />
If you are looking for loads of<br />
Ratings out of 10: Performance 7; Handling 7; Build<br />
Quality 6; Comfort 6; Styling 6; Average fuel consumption<br />
on road test 6.1L/100km; Value for money 5; Safety – Five<br />
Star ANCAP crash rating. Qualifies for a $4025 clean vehicle<br />
rebate until Dec 31, <strong>2023</strong>.<br />
Overall points out of 10: 6.5<br />
cargo and cabin space the Renegade<br />
offers little of either. Back<br />
seat passenger space is particularly<br />
tight, as is access in and out<br />
of the rear doors. When it comes<br />
to room it is shaded, or should<br />
that be eclipsed, by the cheaper<br />
top spec VRX Mitsubishi Eclipse<br />
PHEV. The passenger compartment<br />
design is neat, but a bit<br />
fussy looking and has a bit too<br />
much hard plastic trim on show<br />
for a vehicle in this price bracket.<br />
For a small SUV this one<br />
makes a big play for the safety<br />
tech high ground with standard<br />
features that include Full LED<br />
headlights, Forward Collision,<br />
Lane Departure Warnings and<br />
Traffic-Sign Recognition. Also<br />
making the safety cut for this<br />
model is Blind Spot Detection,<br />
Park View Rear Backup Camera<br />
with dynamic grid lines, and<br />
Keyless Go.<br />
Handling is safe and predictable<br />
while body roll in faster<br />
cornering is well contained.<br />
Generally the test vehicle felt<br />
as well-planted as much larger<br />
vehicles across a variety of surfaces.<br />
There is just enough road<br />
feel to keep you connected and<br />
involved in the steering action.<br />
Suspension noise in low speed<br />
around-town driving, especially<br />
when travelling over poor road<br />
surfaces, isn’t as well suppressed<br />
as it should be for small SUV<br />
with an almost $70k asking price<br />
on its head.<br />
My off-road rambling wasn’t<br />
extensive and limited to a couple<br />
of modest creek crossings and<br />
a similar number of some farm<br />
tracks that offered up a few steep,<br />
short, sharp and well-weathered<br />
gradients to test the Renegade’s<br />
mettle. These challenges were<br />
easily dispatched, and gave me<br />
a timely reminder of why Jeep<br />
has been an off-road champ for<br />
decades.<br />
