Teen track stars eyeing<br />
spots at world champs<br />
• By Sam Coughlan<br />
TWO YOUNG middle<br />
distance runners are chasing<br />
qualification for the junior<br />
world championships – one on<br />
the back of a national record.<br />
Cooper Wightman, 16,<br />
and Daniel Prescott, 17, will<br />
compete in the 1500m at the<br />
U20 national championships,<br />
starting in Wellington today.<br />
Wightman is a year 12<br />
student at Christchurch Boys’<br />
High School while Prescott<br />
finished up at St Thomas’ last<br />
year and will be attending<br />
college in the United States on<br />
an athletics scholarship from<br />
August.<br />
Wightman recently broke<br />
the national U17 record for the<br />
800m in a time of 1:50.46 at<br />
the International Track Meet at<br />
Ngā Puna Wai, a race in which<br />
Prescott set a personal best.<br />
Last year Wightman also set<br />
the record for the fastest time<br />
as a 15-year-old New Zealander<br />
in the 800m.<br />
But neither will run the<br />
800m at the U20 nationals.<br />
Instead they are competing<br />
in the 1500m, with the heats<br />
on Saturday and the final on<br />
Sunday, because it is more of<br />
stacked field.<br />
The junior world<br />
championships will be held in<br />
August in Lima, Peru.<br />
Wightman said it would<br />
mean a lot to represent his<br />

country if he got the chance.<br />
“One of my goals from<br />
when I started running was to<br />
represent New Zealand. So, just<br />
keep pushing away at it and<br />
we’ll just see how it goes.”<br />
Despite both having achieved<br />
the required qualifying time in<br />
the 1500m, they are far from<br />
confirmed to take part.<br />
Seven runners have achieved<br />
the qualifying time, but<br />
Athletics New Zealand can<br />
only select two to compete<br />
internationally.<br />
It makes this weekend’s race<br />
essentially a straight shootout.<br />
“I don’t know if there’s ever<br />
been that many other runners<br />
that have ran that so it’s just<br />
based off whoever gets top-two<br />
at nationals,” said Wightman.<br />

Community<br />
board chair’s<br />
resignation<br />
on the table<br />
after discord<br />
• By Chris Barclay<br />
HELEN Broughton’s future as<br />
chair of the Waipuna Halswell-<br />
Hornby-Riccarton Community<br />
Board should be clarified today,<br />
despite her resignation from the<br />
role following pressure from<br />
colleagues.<br />
Although the<br />
city’s longestserving<br />
local<br />
government<br />
politician<br />
tendered her<br />
resignation ahead<br />
of the board’s<br />
monthly meeting,<br />
standing down<br />
was contingent on Broughton<br />
being able to act as board<br />
Helen<br />
Broughton<br />
spokesperson on planning and<br />
housing intensification.<br />
Broughton, who has represented<br />
Riccarton on the board since<br />
1995, included that caveat, which<br />
was set to be a major talking point<br />
on this afternoon’s agenda.<br />
If her stipulation is denied she<br />
planned to revoke her resignation,<br />
exacerbating an impasse.<br />
Appointed unopposed as chair<br />
after the 2022 local government<br />
elections, Broughton’s final<br />
term before retirement came<br />
under scrutiny following a<br />
difficult meeting on February<br />
15 dominated by road safety<br />
improvements at Church Corner.<br />

Walking with grief after double cancer blow<br />
• By Daniel Alvey<br />
JADE BELL’S solution to<br />
grief was to walk with it, after<br />
winning her cancer battle but<br />
losing her partner to the disease.<br />
To continue her walk,<br />
the Templeton resident will<br />
participate in the Selwyn Relay<br />
for Life in Rolleston on Saturday<br />
as a solo participant for the 12-<br />
hour event.<br />
Bell, 44, was diagnosed<br />
with hodgkins lymphoma on<br />
Christmas Eve 2004 and after<br />
undergoing treatment in 2005,<br />
was able to beat the cancer.<br />
“The cancer is behind me. I<br />
do have a couple of health issues<br />
now that are treatment-related<br />
from the radiation and chemo,”<br />
she said.<br />
Bell was hoping to put the<br />
disease behind her, but that<br />
proved not to be. In 2022 she lost<br />
her partner of almost 18 years,<br />
John Wood, to pancreatic<br />
cancer.<br />
“John died on October 25, a<br />
day before our 18th anniversary<br />
and three days before his<br />
birthday.”<br />
Bell said his battle was<br />
“horrific”.<br />
“We only had two-and-a-half<br />
months from finding out that<br />
he had cancer to his passing<br />
so everything happened really<br />
quickly.<br />
“We hadn’t long been together<br />
when I was diagnosed and he<br />
helped me through my cancer<br />
ON TRACK: Jade Bell<br />
started walking after the<br />
death of her partner, and<br />
last year walked more than<br />
2400km.<br />
and my treatment. So it was<br />
really lovely to be able to care for<br />
him, but really hard to know that<br />
I wasn’t going to be able to help<br />
him through,” Bell said.<br />
After John died, Bell began<br />
walking.<br />
“I joined the Walk1200km<br />
challenge soon after he passed,<br />
and last year I walked over<br />
2400km.<br />
“I don’t say it helped me<br />
through my grief, I say I walk with<br />
my grief.”<br />
At first, she started walking<br />
around her neighbourhood,<br />
continuing her journey around<br />
the hills.<br />
“I spent many hours walking<br />
over the Port Hills, which was just<br />
amazing. I quite often say when<br />
you’re on a track like that you<br />
don’t feel alone but sometimes you<br />
can be in a room crowded with<br />
people and feel quite alone.”<br />
Bell’s first Relay for Life was last<br />
year when her friends invited her<br />
to complete a lap. This year<br />
it will be a bit different as she<br />
aims to complete a minimum<br />
of 40km and could walk up to<br />
70km.<br />
“I really want to do as much<br />
I can for the Cancer Society<br />
because they don’t receive any<br />
Government funding and the<br />
work they do is priceless,” she<br />
said.<br />
For Bell, the event offers her a<br />
chance to remember John.<br />
“It is another challenge to keep<br />
me moving forward, to remember<br />
John and other loved ones who<br />
lost the battle, to celebrate my<br />
survival and support those<br />
fighting.”<br />
• Relay for Life runs from<br />
10am-10pm on Saturday at<br />
Brookside Park, Rolleston.<br />

St thomaS of canterbury college<br />
rowing SquadS <strong>2024</strong><br />
Rowing provides young people with a unique<br />
opportunity to engage in a sport unparalleled<br />
by most. Perseverance, resilience, and a rich<br />
culture of community are but a few of the<br />
many benefits offered to our young men at St<br />
Thomas of Canterbury College. Our students<br />
are encouraged to involve themselves in the<br />
rowing program, which instills similar notions<br />
of dedication and determination built upon the<br />
foundation of brotherhood - a value<br />
at the heart of the college’s special<br />
character. Our rowers are inspired<br />
by both the collective history of the<br />
sport as well as a shared sense of<br />
commitment to each other.<br />
Rowing at school-aged level<br />
promotes effective time<br />
management skills and has<br />
a notable effect on academic<br />
achievement, as students become<br />
MajOR<br />
SquaD<br />
SPOnSORS<br />
more productive with their time. Most of the<br />
students cite these benefits themselves as<br />
the reason for continuing their service to the<br />
sport while also noting a real sense of personal<br />
growth achieved as a result.<br />
Currently, we are at the business end of the<br />
season with training and fitness taking place<br />
most days throughout the week. Despite windy<br />
conditions at some major regattas, our boys<br />
QUALITY<br />
CONCRETE Ltd<br />
DECORATIVE CONCRETE SPECIALISTS<br />
have managed to pull off some successful<br />
performances and achieve some top honours<br />
at the club regattas. The squad has now turned<br />
its attention to the major school regattas - the<br />
South Island Secondary School Champs from<br />
the 1st of <strong>March</strong> and the famous, week-long<br />
Maadi Regatta starting in the 18th of <strong>March</strong>.<br />
None of this would be possible without the<br />
hard work from our parent community and the<br />
ongoing support of our sponsors - the boys<br />
and the coaching staff are incredibly grateful for<br />
all that you do.<br />

Church Cnr<br />
upgrade on<br />
agenda<br />
• From page 1<br />
Discord was developing within<br />
the board after that meeting,<br />
with first-term Halswell city<br />
councillor Andrei Moore<br />
expressing concern at Broughton’s<br />
competency with social media in<br />
terms of communicating with the<br />
public.<br />
He wanted her position to be<br />
reviewed at today’s meeting,<br />
though Broughton’s resignation<br />
pre-empted that course of action.<br />
The Church Corner intersection<br />
also features on the agenda with<br />
staff recommending last month’s<br />
decision not to implement safety<br />
improvements be reconsidered<br />
following legal advice.<br />
Broughton said the February 15<br />
meeting was not ideal but she was<br />
satisfied with her stewardship,<br />
while conceding shortcoming<br />
with social media.<br />
“I got so involved in planning<br />
issues I probably didn’t learn how<br />
to manage Facebook effectively. I<br />
was busy last year and I’d have to<br />
be taught this too,” she admitted.<br />
Her resignation was based<br />
on a “degree of pressure” from<br />
some board members, but she<br />
was optimistic her demand to<br />
oversee planning matters would<br />
be endorsed.<br />
“I’m reasonably confident the<br />
majority are comfortable with<br />
that. This has been a strength of<br />
mine,” she said.<br />

“It is something I have been<br />

Trust gifted building<br />
EXPANSION: The Hornby Community Trust will take<br />
over the old library building next door.<br />
The trust was also granted<br />
$315,400 from the city council’s<br />
Capital Endowment Fund to go<br />
towards refurbishing the space.<br />
“We are looking to fix up the<br />
roof, get on to differed maintenance,<br />
and make the space fit<br />
for purpose. There is still a lot<br />
of money needed for the full<br />
fit-out,” Shearing said.<br />
City council community<br />
support and partnerships head<br />
John Filselll said the trust is doing<br />
wonderful work to encourage<br />
community well-being.<br />
“It offers a broad range of<br />
services and activities including<br />
support groups, exercise classes,<br />
and life skill programmes .<br />
. . It is keen to expand into the<br />
library building and we are<br />
happy to help facilitate that.”<br />
Should the trust decide the<br />
building is no longer required,<br />
the city council may take back<br />
ownership of it for $1.<br />

“They will get the advantage for<br />
selection, so it really just comes<br />
down to one race.”<br />
The pair represent Selwyn at club<br />
meets and are coached by former<br />
New Zealand Commonwealth<br />
Games representative Angie Petty<br />
and her partner, Briton Sam Petty.<br />
Angie Petty said it would be<br />
‘insane’ if the pair were to qualify<br />
together.<br />
“Of those runners (that have<br />
made the qualifying time), Daniel<br />
is second-fastest and Cooper is<br />
fourth,” she said.<br />
“But Cooper ran his in a local<br />
event while all the rest were in<br />
big meets like (the Sir Graham<br />
Douglas International in Auckland<br />
last weekend).<br />
“It’s easier to run faster in those<br />
big meets with other runners<br />
around you and I know Cooper’s<br />
got more in him.”<br />
Wightman said the prospect was<br />
exciting.<br />
“It’s just down to one simple race,<br />
who comes out better on that day.<br />
“I quite like that instead of<br />
having points and stuff where you<br />
have to worry about all the races<br />
you’re running.”<br />

work.<br />

HAYDN LAUNCHES A CLEARANCE<br />
STORE OFFERING EXCEPTIONAL<br />
VALUE ON PAINTING AND<br />
DECORATING TOOLS<br />
Haydn, a revered name in the Painting<br />
& Decorating industry for over five<br />
decades, proudly announces the opening<br />
of its first-ever factory seconds shop. As a<br />
100% New Zealand owned and operated<br />
family business, Haydn has been a trusted<br />
supplier for more than 50 years, serving<br />
more than 1,300 retailers nationwide.<br />
Located at 8 Detroit Drive in the<br />
Rolleston Industrial Zone area of<br />
Christchurch, Haydn Outlet Store<br />
accessories, cleaning products, tapes and<br />
much more.<br />
CEO Trevor Haydon explains, “Our<br />
main goal with the outlet store is to<br />
provide our customers with access to<br />
items that, for commercial reasons, would<br />
not be available through our traditional<br />
retail channels. In practice this means<br />
we will stock anything from short run,<br />
discontinued or deleted lines, through<br />
to products with minor imperfections,<br />
Mix it up with tasty<br />
vegetarian dinners<br />
Nutritional therapist Amelia<br />
Freer’s book The Organised<br />
Cook not only has recipes<br />
but also plenty of advice<br />
and practical tips to help<br />
turn people from frazzled<br />
and frustrated into calm and<br />
organised in the kitchen<br />
Season to taste with salt and pepper.<br />
Serve warm with a little yoghurt (or dairyfree<br />
alternative) swirled through, if you<br />
fancy, and coriander sprinkled on top.<br />
Best black bean burger<br />
This is definitely<br />
the best bean<br />
burger I have<br />
made and I’ve<br />
made a lot. The<br />
recipe was inspired<br />
by a wonderful<br />
bean burger<br />
on Sally’s Baking<br />
Addiction blog,<br />
but I’ve reduced<br />
the number of<br />
ingredients.<br />
Vegetarian, gluten<br />
free.<br />
Haydn Outlet Store at 8 Detroit Drive<br />
Head Office at 2 Link Drive, Izone<br />

characteristic.”<br />
Operating from Monday to Friday, 7:30<br />
am to 4:00 pm, the store welcomes both<br />
trade professionals and the general public<br />
to explore this unique selection of painting<br />
and decorating items.<br />
One-pot green dahl<br />
This is a one-pot wonder that we often<br />
make for Sunday night dinner at our<br />
house. Nourishing and wholesome,<br />
it really sets us up for the week ahead. I’ve<br />
added extra greens here with some Swiss<br />
chard, but you could easily swap this for<br />
spinach, beet leaves or even a couple of<br />
handfuls of peas, if that’s what you have<br />
to hand. Gluten free, dairy free, vegan/<br />
vegetarian.<br />
Ingredients<br />
2 × 400g tins of black beans, drained and<br />
rinsed<br />
1 Tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling<br />
½ red pepper, deseeded and roughly<br />
chopped<br />
1 shallot or small onion, roughly chopped<br />
220g mushrooms, roughly chopped<br />
2 cloves garlic, crushed<br />
1½ tsp ground cumin<br />
½ tsp sweet smoked paprika<br />
½ tsp dried mixed herbs<br />
65g breadcrumbs (use gluten-free, if necessary)<br />
80g feta, crumbled<br />
1 large free-range egg<br />
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce<br />
Serves 4<br />
Ingredients<br />
1 shallot or ½ medium white onion,<br />
sliced<br />
1 Tbsp coconut oil or mild olive oil<br />
1 large piece of fresh root ginger (about<br />
3cm), peeled and grated<br />
2 cloves garlic, grated<br />
1 green chilli, deseeded and chopped<br />
1 tsp mustard seeds<br />
1 tsp ground coriander<br />
1 tsp ground cumin<br />
1 tsp ground turmeric<br />
300g dried black/brown lentils<br />
1 × 400ml tin of coconut milk<br />
200g Swiss chard, washed and roughly<br />
chopped<br />
Natural or dairy-free yoghurt, to serve<br />
(optional)<br />
Fresh coriander, chopped<br />
Directions<br />
In a shallow saucepan, fry the shallot<br />
or onion in the coconut or olive oil over<br />
a medium heat for 5 minutes, until it<br />
starts to soften and caramelise, stirring occasionally.<br />
Add the ginger, garlic and chilli and all<br />
of the spices, and fry for another 5 minutes,<br />
stirring often.<br />
Mix in the lentils, coconut milk and<br />
650ml water.<br />
Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and<br />
simmer for about 40–50 minutes, stirring<br />
occasionally, until the lentils are soft and<br />
the water absorbed. Add the Swiss chard<br />
and cook for 5 minutes, until wilted.<br />
Directions<br />
Preheat the oven to 150degC<br />
fan/170degC.<br />
Spread the drained beans on a baking<br />
tray and bake for 15 minutes until slightly<br />
dried out. (This is important.) Add the oil to<br />
a medium-large saucepan over a mediumhigh<br />
heat. Add the pepper, shallot or onion,<br />
mushrooms, garlic, cumin, paprika and<br />
mixed herbs and saute for around 8 minutes<br />
until soft. Remove from the heat and set<br />
aside to cool a little.<br />
Place the sauteed vegetables and all the<br />
remaining ingredients, including a good<br />
pinch of salt and grind of pepper, in a large<br />
food processor and pulse until combined,<br />
leaving some larger chunks.<br />
Using wet hands (as it helps prevent the<br />
mixture sticking), shape the mixture into<br />
6 patties (each roughly 8–10cm). Line a<br />
baking tray with parchment paper and place<br />
the patties on top. Put the tray in the fridge<br />
for a couple of hours, to help the patties stick<br />
together.<br />
Preheat the grill to a medium heat or the<br />
oven to 190degC fan 210degC.<br />
If grilling, drizzle a little olive oil over the<br />
patties and place them under the grill for<br />
8 minutes. Turn them over, then grill for 4<br />
minutes on the other side, checking every<br />
few minutes as every grill is different. They<br />
should look a little golden.<br />
If baking, drizzle a little olive oil over<br />
the patties, then bake in the oven for 10<br />
minutes.<br />
Flip them over and bake for a further 10<br />
minutes.<br />

Tiny SUV packed with pep and personality<br />
ALONG WITH the new<br />
generation Jimny and the Ignis<br />
are the funky, fun and affordable<br />
members of the otherwise staid<br />
Suzuki NZ model line-up.<br />
They are the smallest new<br />
SUVs sold but have giant sized<br />
personalities. Alongside the<br />
popular Swift hatch, they are<br />
driving the brand’s continuing<br />
strong sales growth.<br />
With a unique design and<br />
trendy, yet slightly retro,<br />
appearance, the Ignis made a<br />
triumphant return in 2016 after<br />
a long absence, having an almost<br />
immediate and positive impact.<br />
Distinctive SUV looks, a<br />
roomy cabin, plus sharp pricing,<br />
meant it ticked a lot of boxes for<br />
those on a budget.<br />
Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />
The Ignis gets runs on the<br />
board right away with its cute<br />
front end, chunky wheel arches<br />
and eye catching angled roofline.<br />
I like how the styling touches<br />
pay homage to previous Suzuki<br />
models from the mists of time.<br />
These include the “C” pillar<br />
slits from the 1970s Giugiarodesigned<br />
Fronte coupe, while the<br />
clamshell-shaped bonnet and<br />
guard garnish are a nod to the<br />
original 1988 Vitara SUV.<br />
The three-strong model lineup<br />
leads off the $22,990 GLX<br />
manual with a $1500 premium<br />
for the automatic. The higher<br />
spec LTD reviewed here is only<br />
available as an automatic sells for<br />
$26,500.<br />
A 1.2 litre 4-cylinder, 16-valve<br />
Ratings out of 10: Performance 6 Handling 7; Build Quality<br />

Overall points out of 10: 7<br />
Incorporating<br />
best motorbuys<br />
www.drivesouth.co.nz<br />
double overhead camshaft engine<br />
is common across all three<br />
models. This multi-point fuel<br />
injected power plant has variable<br />
valve timing technology and<br />
produces 66kW and 120Nm of<br />
torque at 4400rpm.<br />
Dualjet engine technology<br />
engine reduces emissions. It does<br />
this brilliantly, with the manual<br />
producing just 107 grams per<br />
litre of CO2, and the automatic<br />
slightly more at 1<strong>14</strong> grams per<br />
litre. These figures better several<br />
hybrids costing considerably<br />
more than the humble Ignis.<br />
While these aren’t the<br />
ingredients for fire breathing<br />
performance, the engine<br />
has sufficient flexibility and<br />
responsiveness to satisfy most<br />
owners without sending their<br />
pulses racing.<br />
Acceleration is lively and the<br />
motor shows far more tenacity<br />
than its modest capacity would<br />
suggest. However, at higher revs<br />
it does become coarse and lumpy.<br />
The automatic in the test car<br />
proved smooth and efficient in<br />
lower speed urban driving. At<br />
open road pace it’s less agreeable,<br />
proving slow to kick down under<br />
hard acceleration when you need<br />
that extra burst of power.<br />
The cabin is modern, inviting<br />
and offers a decent amount of<br />
space for a diminutive hatch.<br />
There is plenty of head and leg<br />
room for both front and rear<br />
occupants, while good ground<br />
clearance makes it easy to enter<br />
and leave.<br />
The LTD is well appointed<br />
with cruise control, power<br />
steering, electric windows and<br />
electric mirrors. A computer<br />
displays fuel consumption, sixspeaker<br />
audio system, Bluetooth<br />
audio-streaming and hands-free<br />
calling.<br />
Playful and surprisingly<br />
composed road holding are<br />
a good fit with the vehicle’s<br />
effervescent personality.<br />
However, being taller and<br />
narrower than other cars in<br />
this class, body lean enters the<br />
handling frame sooner when<br />
nudging things along through<br />
tight corners or over undulating<br />
terrain. This only becomes worse<br />
if you continue to unreasonably<br />
push the vehicles handling<br />
limits. A plus for urbanites is<br />
the vehicle’s excellent turn-ona-dime<br />
4.7 metre turning circle,<br />
that makes light work of U-turns<br />
in narrow streets.<br />
