‘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 />

band’s cover of the<br />

Led Zeppelin classic<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 />

The Holden Kingswood is in<br />

its original condition (upholstery,<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 />

2 nd <strong>December</strong> until Christmas Eve.<br />

will receive a FREE book.*<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 />
