AT 99, Grace Hartley still plays 

her favourite board game, 

Scrabble, every night – and she 

hardly ever loses a game. 

Like clockwork in the early 

evening and after reading 

her newspaper, the Arvida St 

Albans wordsmith sets up the 

board to play against nurse 

Natasha Patterson. 

Grace said they help each 

other when they get stuck 

finding a word but are still 

competitive. 

“I’m not afraid to use a few 

risqué words to try and win 

a game and make Tash laugh 

at the same time. I do the big 

words and Tash does the small 

words.” 

Grace took up playing 

Scrabble about 10 years ago 

when she moved into the 

retirement village.

WINNING WORDS: Grace Hartley plays Scrabble nightly against enrolled nurse Natasha Patterson at Arvida St Albans. 

Patterson became her playing 

partner when Grace’s daughter 

could no longer take part due to 

the Covid restrictions. 

She played so much the letters 

wore off her original Scrabble 

set due to overuse. 

But Grace has now received 

a new set to make sure she 

is always game-ready and 

thinking of the next big word 

for the win.

Burglar 

who 

targeted 

rugby 

club was 

after safe 

• By Chris Barclay 

THE HORNBY Rugby Football 

Club’s premier men’s team might 

have only won twice since 2019, 

but for one cunning burglar they 

are still hot 

property. 

Club apparel 

was stolen during 

a well-planned, 

though ultimately 

unsuccessful, raid 

on the Denton 

Park-based club, 

with HRFC 

chairperson Steve Steve Deans 

Deans sure the 

intruder had club connections or 

had staked out the Chalmers St 

premises. 

“The way he broke in, he’s clearly 

been in our clubrooms before. 

He’s jumped a fence at an area 

undetected by security cameras 

and once inside he knew exactly 

where he was going,” Deans said. 

He would not elaborate on how 

the man gained access – security 

has been bolstered – but he did 

squeeze through a tight crawl 

space before ransacking the 

committee room. 

“We think he was there for one 

thing, he was looking for a safe.”

WE’LL PUSH THROUGH: 

Kevin Cole received his 

civic award for leading 

the Hornby Club through 

multiple crises. 

Club stalwart led 

through tough times 

• By Sasha Watson 

HELPING navigate the 

Hornby Club through 

tough times has led to a city 

council civic award for Kevin 

Cole. 

Cole, who was a board member 

at the club for more than 30 

years and a president for just over 

20 years, led the club through 

several major crises, including 

the 2008 financial crisis, the 

Covid-19 pandemic and the 

earthquakes. 

Cole joined the club in 1974, 

before taking up leadership 

roles. He was voted onto the 

club’s board in 1990, and then 

appointed president in the 

early 2000s. He was made a life 

member in May last year. 

Cole arranged popular 

concerts at the club throughout 

the 90s and early 2000s, 

and oversaw venue alterations. 

Said Hornby Club general 

manager Tim Matthews: “I have 

worked with Kevin since 2021; 

he has always made sure to look 

out for club members, advocate 

for entertainment and leadership, 

and had a very strong belief in 

what the club should look like 

and be run. 

“The award recognises the 

many years of effort Kevin has 

put into not just the club, but 

the Hornby Ward as well. I 

enjoyed his direct manner, 

and he’s one who doesn’t suffer 

fools.” 

Cole also managed the recent 

building redevelopment and 

relaunch. 

In May, more than 140 people 

celebrated Cole becoming a life 

member. 

Cole also managed the Hornby Club’s redevelopment.

Bridge Club 

Do you enjoy cards, like challenges & want to 

stay mentally alert? 

….then learn to play Bridge 

The Christchurch Bridge Club, established in 1952, is the largest in New Zealand with a 

membership of approximately 800 members. Our modern clubrooms are centrally located in Nova 

Place, off Barbadoes Street, with extensive off-street parking and consist of three large rooms and 

excellent catering facilities. 

The club offers lessons which are provided by professional teachers utilising the latest technologies 

which enable practice and review at home on the internet. After 11 weeks you will be ready to 

set out on your bridge journey armed with enthusiasm and skills to last a lifetime. Opportunities 

to represent your club, province or country in a variety of grades will be open to you. In addition, 

the enjoyment of social interaction and friendship with like-minded people of all ages cannot be 

underestimated, especially in these challenging times. Playing bridge has helped many of our 

members to survive the tedium of lockdown with the club arranging on-line competitions to allow 

people to keep in touch. Now that we are playing face-to-face, vaccination certificates are required 

for entry to the club as the safety of our members is paramount. We look forward to meeting you! 

The next beginner’s course commences on Wednesday, January 

31, 7.30pm at the Christchurch Bridge Club, 21 Nova Place. 

Back to Bridge classes for 4 weeks starting Wednesday March 

4 at 7.30pm. Cost $25. Three further beginners courses will start 

on Wednesday, May 8 and August 28 at 7.30pm and Sunday, 

June 23 at 1pm.

Said Deans: “It looks like it’s 

had a tornado over it, he’s ripped 

open every locked cupboard. The 

committee room was not alarmed 

but it was activated when the 

burglar entered the bar area, where 

he forced open an empty till before 

leaving via a fire exit early on New 

Year’s Eve.” 

No cash, alcohol, sentimental 

memorabilia or electronic 

equipment was stolen, but a 

quantity of valuable club-branded 

clothing was missing. 

Club members spent six hours 

on Saturday cleaning up, with 

Deans expecting the repair bill to 

approach $10,000. 

CCTV footage at 2.54am on 

December 31 – the time stamp 

on the images is out by an hour 

– showed the burglar wearing a 

HRFC beanie to aid his disguise as 

he carried a club-issue bag. 

“What really upsets us is not 

only the extensive damage, it’s the 

stolen apparel,” Deans said. 

“We’re funded by grants and 

sponsorship. The stuff we hold in 

our committee room is dedicated 

to this season, whether it be 

seniors, women or our juniors. 

“It’s just not fair, you’re taking 

away from our community as 

well,” said Deans, who urged 

anyone with information to 

contact the club or police. 

“We hope someone may have an 

idea on who this waste of space is.” 

The man, who is about 

CUNNING: The burglar unsuccessfully searched for cash at the Chalmers St 

clubrooms and took valuable club-branded clothing. 

1.8-metres tall, was wearing a 

retro-style black, white and red 

stripped top with a white collar, 

tan or brown chino pants and red 

Huarache Nike shoes. 

The break-in soured a 

memorable year for the club, 

which celebrated the men’s 

Ellesmere rugby division 1 side’s 

first victories since Rolleston were 

defeated in 2019. 

They beat Oxford in April and 

then Springston in the regular 

season, though the latter exacted 

revenge in the 17th/18th place 

playoff in July.

Centre lacks extra funds to help 

CHOLMONDELEY Children’s 

Centre has seen demand for 

its services climb as the cost of 

living bites. 

The centre in Governors 

Bay provides free respite care 

for children and support for 

families. 

Centre 

general 

manager Toni 

Tinirau said 

in recent years 

there has been 

a constant 

demand for its 

services. Toni Tinirau 

She said 

there were “countless weekly 

phone inquiries” and a current 

wait list of 51 children. 

In the 2022-2023 financial 

year 351 children from 295 

families accessed the centre’s 

facilities. It was an increase on 

the 2021-2022 financial year 

which saw 331 children from 

267 families, and the 2020–2021 

year with 318 children from 229 

families. 

Said Tinirau: “The need for 

our services hasn’t gone away, 

it’s grown. And as the cost of 

living puts more pressure on 

whānau doing it tough, it’s 

only natural there’ll be more 

demand.” 

The centre has 23 beds to stay 

overnight and on average only 17 

of these beds are occupied. 

“It’s my dream to have every 

one of those 23 beds filled every 

night. But it’s just not achievable 

at the moment because we 

don’t have the funding or the 

resources. 

“The space is there, the 

demand is there, we are just 

lacking the consistent financial 

support. It’ll cost an additional 

estimated $250,000 annually 

to have all 23 beds filled every 

night,” said Tinirau. 

Cholmondeley costs $2.8 

million to run each year with 

20 per cent covered by the 

Government. The remaining 80 

per cent is generated through 

community fundraising. 

Said Tinirau: “We have been 

looking really closely at how to 

raise the much needed funds 

for Cholmondeley as it’s been a 

difficult time globally to raise 

funds for charities.” 

She said children are given 

round-the-clock care, outdoor 

experiences, learning activities 

designed to build wellbeing 

and resilience, and a fun 

environment where they are 

only asked “to be kids”. 

“The support Cholmondeley 

provides doesn’t stop when 

tamariki turn 12. It also has the 

‘Awhi Team’ (care team) made 

up of social workers, youth 

workers and whānau 

ora navigators who walk 

alongside whānau in their own 

homes to address issues they’re 

facing. 

“We support tamariki coming 

from homes where there 

could be issues with health, 

accommodation, interpersonal 

relationships, single-parent 

whānau, family violence, 

family harm, mental health or 

addiction. 

“We just need Cantabrians’ 

help. Do not underestimate the 

level of support you can provide 

a charity like Cholmondeley. 

Never think that you could 

never give enough, because 

whatever you can do, however 

you can support us, will 

certainly help our whānau,” she 

said. 

Organic 

college 

moving to 

old school 

THE FORMER Avonside Girls’ 

High School site is the new base for 

the Biological Husbandry Organic 

College. 

The college, which was first 

established on Lincoln University 

farmland in 1976, will move 

to the Climate Action Campus 

Ōtautahi on Avonside Drive and 

offer tertiary courses from late 

February. 

The move will allow more people 

to access its combination of 

hands-on training and classroom 

courses, said college trust chair 

Penny Platt. 

She said the move will open up a 

new era for the college. 

“We will be more central and 

accessible for everyone who seeks 

knowledge and skills to grow 

food in the most natural and 

sustainable ways, whether they’re 

working in local food systems or 

bigger organics industries,” said 

Platt. 

“We provide a solid grounding 

in the practice and theory of 

organic growing, delivered by 

tutors with a wealth of knowledge 

and experience and all in a 

friendly, supportive environment.” 

The campus, which sits on the 

Avonside site and an adjoining 

1.8ha, is designated as a state 

school for primary and secondary 

students.

Feta filo turnovers 

Serves 4 

Ingredients 

4 sheets of filo pastry 

200g feta cheese 

½ a bunch of marjoram (10g) 

25g shelled unsalted pistachios 

runny honey, to serve 

Directions 

Lay a sheet of filo on a damp tea towel 

and brush lightly with olive oil. 

Crumble a quarter of the feta across 

one side of the pastry, leaving a 3cm gap 

around the edges, and pick over a quarter 

of the marjoram leaves. 

Carefully fold over the filo, press the 

edges to seal, then fold in half again, 

pressing down gently to secure. Brush 

lightly with olive oil. 

Place a large non-stick frying pan on 

a medium heat with a splash of olive oil, 

add the filo parcel and cook for 2 minutes 

on each side, or until golden and crisp, 

then transfer to a serving plate. 

Meanwhile, bash or roughly chop the 

pistachios. Drizzle the parcel with honey 

and scatter over a quarter of the pistachios. 

Repeat with the rest of the ingredients, 

serving each parcel as soon as it’s 

ready.

Rogue ratatouille risotto 

Serves 4 

Ingredients 

700g frozen chargrilled Mediterranean veg 

300g risotto rice 

1.2 litres chicken or vegetable stock 

1 bunch of basil (30g) 

100g goat’s cheese 

Directions 

Tip the frozen veg into a large, deep 

pan on a medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons 

of olive oil. Cook for 10 minutes, 

or until soft, stirring regularly, then 

remove half to a bowl. 

Add the rice to the pan and stir for 2 

minutes. Add a good splash of hot stock 

and wait until it’s been fully absorbed 

before adding another, stirring constantly 

for 16 to 18 minutes, or until the rice is 

perfectly cooked, adding extra splashes of 

water, if needed. 

Pick and finely slice most of the basil 

leaves and stir into the pan with the reserved 

veg, most of the goat’s cheese and 

1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, and 

season to perfection. 

Adjust the consistency so it’s nice and 

oozy with a splash of boiling kettle water, 

if needed. 

Divide between plates, then scatter 

over the remaining basil leaves and goat’s 

cheese, to finish.

Papanui High School 

Our School, Our Success, 

Our Responsibility 

“Our aim is simple... to provide the best 

education possible for every student.” 

At Papanui High School positive 

relationships are at the forefront of 

what we do. Connecting through a 

responsive local curriculum we provide 

an opportunity for all students to learn 

in a productive and future-focused 

environment. 

The opportunity to learn from an 

innovative and broad curriculum is 

critical to providing a pathway that meets 

each student’s individual needs. Papanui 

High School allows for a greater range 

and flexibility in subject choice including 

the utilization of the secondary/tertiary 

interface. This reinforces the philosophy 

underpinning personalised learning and is 

strongly supported by understanding our 

students’ interests, passions, talents, and 

ultimately their career aspirations. 

We understand that for effective learning 

to take place, it has to be implemented 

in such a way that students will be highly 

engaged. The school does this in a ‘forward 

thinking’ way by creating learning 

environments that allow our students to 

see value in what they do and achieve. 

Papanui “PRIDE” is what we represent, 

and we demonstrate this by having young 

adults leave our school as confident 

7 

learners who have gained the appropriate 

qualifications and social skills to become 

valued contributing members of society. 

All that we do here is reinforced by 

positive relationships, an ethos of caring, 

cultural responsiveness, inclusion, and 

high expectations. The school highly 

values the connectedness between 

curricular and co-curricular learning 

and forming partnerships with our 

wider school community. We have a 

philosophical understanding that the 

holistic development of the student is 

critical to individual success. 

The school is working hard to 

consolidate recent initiatives to ensure 

sustained and continuous improvement. 

You are invited to view our website, school 

charter, ERO report, and/or contact the 

school for more information. 

In 2024 we are looking forward to 

welcoming new students along with a 

new principal Mr Robert Gilbert. Robert 

returns to Christchurch after serving 

as Deputy Principal at Tauranga Boys’ 

College for the past eight years. He has a 

background in the Arts, and previously 

held positions of responsibility at Aranui 

High School and Rangi Ruru Girls’ School.

Say hello to 

continuing education 

It’s never too 

halloumi this 

late for music 

summer 

Are you an adult who learned an 

instrument in your childhood but gave 

up because it got too hard or life just got 

busy? Or have you always wanted to learn 

a musical instrument but never had the 

opportunity? Well , it’s not too late! 

The Christchurch School of Music, Te 

Kura Puoro offers tuition in a wide range of 

instruments and has lots of ensembles that 

adults of all ages and stages can join. There 

are orchestras, wind ensembles, a string 

ensemble, concert band, jazz bands and 

rock bands – something for everyone. 

Our adult students tell us that getting 

involved in music experiences in their later 

years has been life changing. Learning 

something new is good for the brain, 

activating neural pathways, strengthening 

motor skills and and bringing about a sense 

of well-being. New and lasting friendships 

are formed and there is always lots of 

laughter.

Make your mark with new art 

courses at Risingholme 

For almost 80 years Risingholme Learning has been 

delivering adult and community courses that help people 

expand their skills and explore their creative side. 2024 

is no different with a lineup of new creative art courses 

including printmaking, collage, and bookmaking. Taking 

the humble art materials of paper and ink, each course 

dives into the creative potential of each of these materials 

and the various techniques that can be applied to turn a 

blank piece of paper into a truly unique work of art. 

In Printmaking for Beginners, learners will try a 

range of printmaking techniques including stamping, 

monotype, and intaglio prints. Course tutor Meg Nicoll 

says that “with an emphasis on experimentation and fun, 

this course will be a friendly introduction to printmaking 

that will celebrate both the making and sharing of prints 

without needing lots of specialist equipment”. 

Also in keeping with the spirit of resourcefulness, 

those enrolled in Collage for Beginners will be guided 

through different techniques used to create textured and 

painted papers that can then be cut, pasted, swapped, and 

arranged into collages which emphasise each person’s 

creative flair. For those interested in a more collaborative 

approach, there will also be the chance to contribute to a 

group collage throughout the 8-week course. 

Rounding off the new course offerings is a weekend 

workshop, also run by Meg, on Bookmaking for 

Beginners. Having previously worked at the Eric Carle 

Museum of Picture Book Art in the USA, Meg is very 

familiar with the book format and will lead participants 

through how to create colourful bindings out of folded 

and sewn paper with lots of room for personalization. 

All of these courses are deigned to be accessible 

with no previous art-making experience required, so 

enrol today and ‘book’ your spot early. Find all the 

details and search for other courses we offer at 

www.risingholme.org.nz.


Everest Wildtrak sets new SUV benchmark 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

THE WILDTRAK, one of the 

most identifiable and desirable 

nameplates in the popular Ford 

ute range, has transitioned to its 

SUV sibling the Ford Everest, 

where it is poised to enjoy similar 

sales success. 

With its crisp assertive styling, 

class-leading sophistication, 

refinement, safety, and immense 

on and off road capabilities, it’s a 

large SUV that ticks all the boxes 

that matter. 

Tucked between the priceleading 

$77,990 Everest Sport and 

$86,990 flagship Platinum model, 

the $84,490 Everest Wildtrak 

is OK rather than outstanding 

value for money. 

Those wanting the extra cred of 

the Wildtrak badge won’t see this 

heftier price as an issue. For them 

it is money well spent for the 

exclusivity factor alone, including 

unique exterior and interior 

detailing and finishes, and a 

comprehensive suite of driver 

assistance systems. It intelligently 

blends tough-truck 

credentials in a package 

loaded with car-like 

comforts that will satisfy 

those seeking more style 

and off-road attitude in 

their full-size SUV. 

The ‘look at me’ 

treatment that’s liberally 

used on this vehicle is at 

play on multiple fronts. 

Incorporating 

best motorbuys 

www.drivesouth.co.nz 

For example, the test vehicle was 

well garnished with Wildtrak 

logos. Among the targets are the 

front doors, tailgate, and leading 

edge of the bonnet. In fact it has 

more badges than a boy Scout 

Jamboree. 

With 184kW of power and 

600Nm of torque the 3.0-litre V6 

turbo diesel arrived here with a 

big and well-deserved reputation. 

Strong acceleration and excellent 

low speed pulling power enable 

it to effortlessly front-foot the 

many and varied challenges 

posed by our tough roads, 

terrain and weather. Wind and 

road noise on the open road are 

barely audible in the passenger 

compartment. The motor shows 

its all-round class, by making 

light work of demanding long 

haul trips that would weigh 

heavily on the shoulders of 

lesser vehicles. It rolls back the 

kilometres with ease to deliver 

you at your destination relaxed 

and refreshed. The 10-speed 

automatic is well-schooled in 

the art of quick well-judged gear 

changes, expertly matching the 

right ratio for most imaginable 

driving scenarios. 

A spacious seven-seat cabin has 

room for everyone. A power-fold 

third-row of seats, and fold-flat 

second row, add both flexibility 

and versatility to this impressive 

SUV. The central focus of the 

tech laden cabin is a 12.4-inch 

fully digital instrument cluster 

and the portrait-oriented 12- 

inch touchscreen that controls 

Ford’s SYNC 4A infotainment 

system. In the Wildtrak, guise 

also scores a ten-speaker stereo 

system, wireless device charging 

and wireless Apple CarPlay and 

Android Auto. 

Top-notch safety and drive 

assist technology are to the 

fore with 9 airbags and Lane 

Departure Warning, plus Rear 

Cross Traffic Alert. The latter 

warns you of approaching 

vehicles that you may not be 

able to see when reversing out 

of car parks. Keeping an allencompassing 

electronic eye out 

for hazards around the vehicle is 

an excellent 360-degree camera 

with clean and sharp imagery. 

Road holding and handling 

sets a new benchmark for a large 

SUV in this price bracket. For its 

size it feels remarkably light and

rating. 

Overall points out of 10: 8 

agile to drive over undulating 

roads and through corners with 

the sort of pace and composure 

rarely found in a vehicle this big. 

The Everest is a true champion 

that revels in the rough stuff. 

My off-tarmac excursions 

were limited to a selection of 

weathered farm tracks that 

offered up a few muddy hill 

climbs as well. All of these were 

easily dispatched by the test 

vehicle with minimal effort, 

leaving me with a sense that its 

4WD capabilities extended well 

beyond mine. The Wildtrak is an 

interesting and worthy addition 

to the ranks as one of New 

Zealand’s favourite full size ‘go 

anywhere’ SUVs that’s right at 

the top of its game.
