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 />

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 />

moves into the Matatiki Centre<br />

in April, its former building<br />

will no longer be required for<br />

The trust’s chair Bob Shearing<br />

said it has been a long<br />

process.<br />

“It is something I have been<br />

about the library moving.<br />

there was never going<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 />

Makes 4<br />

promises to be a haven for DIY aficionados<br />

& tradies alike that are seeking an eclectic<br />

range of painting and decorating tools and<br />

hardware at incredible prices.<br />

The outlet store will offer a constantly<br />

changing array of products including<br />

paint brushes, artist and cosmetic brushes,<br />

rollers, roller sleeves, paint tools and<br />

hardware, protective wear, clothing and<br />

accessories, surface protection, painting<br />

incorrect or obsolete packaging,<br />

essentially lines that are either no longer in<br />

production or possessing any defect that<br />

will not adversely affect any performance<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 />
