Teen track stars eyeing 

spots at world champs 

• By Sam Coughlan 

TWO YOUNG middle 

distance runners are chasing 

qualification for the junior 

world championships – one on 

the back of a national record. 

Cooper Wightman, 16, 

and Daniel Prescott, 17, will 

compete in the 1500m at the 

U20 national championships, 

starting in Wellington today. 

Wightman is a year 12 

student at Christchurch Boys’ 

High School while Prescott 

finished up at St Thomas’ last 

year and will be attending 

college in the United States on 

an athletics scholarship from 

August. 

Wightman recently broke 

the national U17 record for the 

800m in a time of 1:50.46 at 

the International Track Meet at 

Ngā Puna Wai, a race in which 

Prescott set a personal best. 

Last year Wightman also set 

the record for the fastest time 

as a 15-year-old New Zealander 

in the 800m. 

But neither will run the 

800m at the U20 nationals. 

Instead they are competing 

in the 1500m, with the heats 

on Saturday and the final on 

Sunday, because it is more of 

stacked field. 

The junior world 

championships will be held in 

August in Lima, Peru. 

Wightman said it would 

mean a lot to represent his

country if he got the chance. 

“One of my goals from 

when I started running was to 

represent New Zealand. So, just 

keep pushing away at it and 

we’ll just see how it goes.” 

Despite both having achieved 

the required qualifying time in 

the 1500m, they are far from 

confirmed to take part. 

Seven runners have achieved 

the qualifying time, but 

Athletics New Zealand can 

only select two to compete 

internationally. 

It makes this weekend’s race 

essentially a straight shootout. 

“I don’t know if there’s ever 

been that many other runners 

that have ran that so it’s just 

based off whoever gets top-two 

at nationals,” said Wightman.

Cycleway 

planning 

gets started 

despite calls 

for delay 

• By Sasha Watson 

A FIVE-WEEK-long investigation 

into the $19 million Wheels to 

Wings cycleway started this 

week, despite the Government’s 

draft proposal to cut funding for 

transport projects. 

City council staff are looking 

into Bishopdale roads to help plan 

a construction approach for the 

cycleway. 

It is concurrent with 

investigations into a replacement 

water main on Harewood Rd and 

wastewater pipes on Chapel St and 

Sails St as well as installing traffic 

lights at the Langdons and Greers 

Rd intersection. 

Papanui Ward city councillor 

Victoria Henstock said it is 

irresponsible to proceed with the 

investigation into the cycleway. 

“The city council relies on cofunding 

from NZTA for over 95 

per cent of its transport projects 

so NZTA’s funding decision 

will determine whether W2W 

proceeds. 

“Harewood Ward city councillor 

Aaron Keown and myself 

proposed an amendment in the 

Long Term Plan for all works on 

the cycleway to be halted pending 

full disclosure of the updated costs 

and confirmation of funding from 

NZTA. 

“Our amendment failed with the 

majority of councillors voting in 

favour of continuing this.”

Cinema’s new lease of life 

• By Dylan Smits 

MAJOR renovations to the 

Hollywood Cinema in Sumner 

are under way. 

Contractors from Bushnell 

Builders have torn down the 

front canopy facing Marriner St 

as part of the first stage of the 

makeover. 

“It’s been a long time coming, 

so it’s good to see things finally 

under way,” said project manager 

Andy Wilkinson. 

Built in 1938, the oldest 

cinema in Christchurch will become 

part of the high-end Silky 

Otter Cinemas chain. 

It was owned by cinema 

pioneer Lang Masters for more 

than six decades. He died, aged 

92, in August last year. 

Masters sold the cinema to 

the Doig family in September 

2021, who are leasing it to Silky 

Otter. 

Wilkinson said the construction 

part of the renovation will 

hopefully be complete in December 

with the opening date 

yet to be determined. 

“What we’re figuring out right 

now is how the tenant’s needs 

are going to integrate with that. 

They have to install the seating, 

the audiovisual equipment and 

the fit out of the bar.” 

It will be determined in 

the coming weeks whether 

VISION: Work has started on the Hollywood Cinema in 

Sumner. Below – an artist’s impression of the cinema 

after it is converted into part of the Silky Otter Cinema 

chain. 

Silky Otter can refurbish the 

interior at the same time as the 

construction work, Wilkinson 

said. 

Three 48-seater luxury cinemas 

and a bar will be created. 

Wilkinson said the back end 

of the building will be extended, 

making room for an additional 

cinema to complement the 

previous two. 

The city council issued a 

building consent in November. 

Bushnell Builders was selected 

as the contractor last month. 

Before major structural work 

can begin, asbestos in the walls 

and ceilings will be removed. 

Then new foundations for 

the existing building and the 

extension will be constructed. 

“There’s quite a lot of work 

that’s got to be done inside 

with the structure before that 

rear wall can be taken out,” 

Wilkinson said. 

The neighbouring Coffee 

Culture, which is attached 

to the building, will also be 

renovated with designs still in 

the planning stage, he said. 

The owner of Sumner Bar 

and Grill next door, Shubham 

Kumar, welcomed the start of 

the renovations. 

“It will definitely be good. If 

customers go there, they will 

come here too.” 

Community 

board chair’s 

resignation 

on the table 

• By Chris Barclay 

HELEN Broughton’s future as 

chair of the Waipuna Halswell- 

Hornby-Riccarton Community 

Board should be clarified today, 

despite her resignation from the 

role following 

pressure from 

colleagues. 

Although the 

city’s longestserving 

local 

government 

politician tendered 

her resignation 

ahead of the 

board’s monthly 

meeting, standing down was 

Helen 

Broughton 

contingent on Broughton being 

able to act as board spokesperson 

on planning and housing 

intensification. 

Broughton, who has represented 

Riccarton on the board since 1995, 

included that caveat, which was set 

to be a major talking point on this 

afternoon’s agenda. 

If her stipulation is denied she 

planned to revoke her resignation, 

exacerbating an impasse. 

Appointed unopposed as chair 

in 2022 elections, Broughton’s 

final term before retirement came 

under scrutiny following a difficult 

meeting on February 15.

Mixed Messages in 

the Current Market 

Whether it’s the newspaper, the television 

or online commentary, there’s currently 

plenty of optimism around the property 

market and – to be fair – it’s contagious. 

But the real question we need to ask 

ourselves is whether it’s true. 

Let’s face it, after the rollercoaster of the 

past four years, including the highest price 

increases ever seen post-Covid and a harsh 

correction in 2023, who doesn’t want to 

celebrate just a little? But I’m of a mind we 

need to take a pause and reflect. 

So, why don’t we dive in together, look at 

what’s happening locally and then decide 

what’s fact, fiction or even conjecture? 

Because it’s all there! 

Here’s what I’m currently seeing … 

Let’s start with listing numbers, which are 

up. 

As are auction numbers. Our own company 

currently has some 74 auctions booked for 

the month ahead at the time of writing and 

this is creating significant buyer interest. 

Although the number of auctions reflects a 

strong push by people to be on the market 

in February, it’s by no means unusual. 

Who doesn’t dream at Christmas and 

through the New Year of changing 

direction, whether that means purchasing 

instead of renting, upsizing, downsizing 

or leaving the city? So, I’m not one for 

jumping to conclusions based on the 

current increase in available properties. 

It’s definitely seasonal and this summer 

momentum can often be seen ebbing in 

the autumn months of April and May. 

But here’s something not so customary 

of late: being pleasantly surprised by the 

number of those auctions brought forward 

(a term used when the owners receive an 

unconditional offer that brings everything 

forward from the scheduled auction date). 

It’s a sign that people don’t want to wait 

because they fear competition – and that 

happens when there are more buyers 

around. Only this week, out of a catalogue 

of 19 properties, we had four that were 

brought forward, and all had additional 

strong, competitive bidding. Tears, smiles 

and applause from those in the busy room 

followed. 

Attendances at open homes are also up, as 

are multiple offers, so these three elements 

are certainly supportive of a strengthening 

market which owners, realtors and the 

media are taking heart from. 

Now let’s look at what I’m currently 

hearing. 

Most of us have short memories and it’s 

easy to slide into a belief pattern that all 

is well and prices will jump back to those 

extraordinary figures we came to expect 

two years ago. For context, prices across 

New Zealand peaked in November 2021, 

then were seen to drop by almost 18% to 

bottom-out in May of last year. 

Since then, they have increased by 4% 

according to statistical data up until 

December of last year. 

So, it’s a cautious journey and although 

banks and others are sticking with low 

growth figures, there’s still room for 

optimism – though it needs to be mixed 

with realism too. 

Finally, what am I thinking? 

There is still a world of pain out there for 

many people. 

Increased interest rates are hurting and 

that’s across every demographic. Banks are 

proving extremely pedantic in what they 

expect of their clients. It means that some 

people are finding it too tough to hang on. 

Despite the promise of Brightline and tax 

deductibility changes, that includes recent 

landlords. And other vendors are preferring 

to downsize rather than struggle with hefty 

monthly mortgage payments. 

There’s also a belief that we are likely at 

the bottom of the market and good times 

are around the corner, in which case now 

is the time to buy. For the entrepreneurial 

amongst us, this is a signal to hunt hard for 

opportunities. 

It’s always a crystal-ball game and mine 

is a little cloudy at the moment, so I’d 

encourage anyone making a property 

decision to get good advice, keep your 

expectations intact and, if you’re selling, 

hope that you just might have a property 

that causes people to applaud your result. 

After all, this market might be exactly right 

for your circumstances and yours might 

be one of the good news stories that we’re 

starting to see.

Investigation work questioned 

in face of possible funding cut 

• From page 1 

Henstock said the budgets in the 

LTP are based on the original costings, 

which are now out of date. 

“Those figures are misleading. 

We have been told that on average 

our transport projects have 

increased by about 27 per cent 

so we can reasonably expect the 

W2W project costs to increase 

substantially.” 

She said many people were 

confused about the project’s status, 

with media reporting earlier in 

the Long Term Plan process that 

council staff had proposed the 

cycleway be deferred, due to it not 

being a priority project. 

“The public generally were not 

aware the project was back in the 

LTP. 

“Now they see a CCC Newsline 

article and social media post about 

investigative works soon to be undertaken. 

Residents are now asking 

how can this project continue 

if funding is not available.’’ 

Canterbury Charity Hospital 

chief executive Carl Shaw said the 

hospital board was not looking 

forward to seeing the project 

continue. 

City council city infrastructure 

general manager Jane Parfitt said 

it is common practice that detailed 

investigations are commissioned 

in advance of construction, which 

will not start until later this year. 

PLANNING: Investigations 

into potential construction 

plans for the Wheels to 

Wings cycleway have 

started. The investigation will 

also look into water system 

upgrades on Harewood Rd 

and traffic light installation 

at the Greers and Langdons 

intersection. 

When Copenhagen Bakery 

owner Donna Thomsen was 

approached for a comment by 

Norwest News, it was the first time 

she had heard about the investigations 

going ahead and she said she 

couldn’t comment further without 

having all the facts. 

NZ rep 

dream 

closer for 

athletes 

• From page 1 

“They will get the advantage for 

selection, so it really just comes 

down to one race.” 

The pair represent Selwyn at club 

meets and are coached by former 

New Zealand Commonwealth 

Games representative Angie Petty 

and her partner, Briton Sam Petty. 

Angie Petty said it would be 

‘insane’ if the pair were to qualify 

together. 

“Of those runners (that have 

made the qualifying time), Daniel 

is second-fastest and Cooper is 

fourth,” she said. 

“But Cooper ran his in a local 

event while all the rest were in 

big meets like (the Sir Graham 

Douglas International in Auckland 

last weekend). 

“It’s easier to run faster in those 

big meets with other runners 

around you and I know Cooper’s 

got more in him.” 

Wightman said the prospect was 

exciting. 

“It’s just down to one simple race, 

who comes out better on that day. 

“I quite like that instead of 

having points and stuff where you 

have to worry about all the races 

you’re running.”

Ryman’s Northwood village ticking all the boxes 

CHOOSING Northwood 

Retirement Village has worked 

out very well for David and 

Eileen Jorgensen, allowing for 

pastimes including David’s 

passion for outdoor spaces. 

His volunteer work in a nearby 

memorial garden allows him 

to both stay part of the wider 

community, and to keep fit. 

When the couple decided 

to sell their lovely home in 

Rangiora, they eyed up a couple 

of Canterbury villages – and 

are now very happy with their 

Ryman Healthcare choice at 

Northwood. 

They love that they get all-day 

sun in their swish townhouse 

and that they can keep up a 

social whirl in both their village 

setting and within their existing 

circle of friends from Rangiora 

and Christchurch. 

David has been keeping busy 

with his gardening tools. As 

well as tackling the garden and 

vege patch that surrounds their 

home, he has recently started 

volunteering at Belfast-based 

Otukaikino, a living memorial 

garden that allows people to 

honour their loved ones after 

they’ve passed away. 

There is also an Otukaikino 

walk, that gives people a chance 

to walk around a 13-hectare 

freshwater wetland reserve. 

David says there is always 

weeding to do at Otukaikino, 

even in the winter season. 

“The weeds keep growing. . . 

HAPPY HOME: Eileen and David Jorgenson couldn’t be happier with their decision to 

relocate to Ryman Healthcare’s village at Northwood. 

And Otukaikino can really use 

people to volunteer.” 

Gardening is a way to keep 

active while working with others 

on a worthwhile project. His 

friend Ian Pitt, whom he has 

known since their children were 

in scouts together, alerted him to 

the project and has built seats for 

the large garden space. 

Eileen says the couple moved 

into the Northwood village 

in mid-September last year, 

following their house sale. The 

couple agree it has a great aspect 

looking onto the gardens outside 

a set of apartments within the 

village. 

“I think we’ve got one of the 

pick of the setups. We get the sun 

all day,” David says. 

“Here there is an amazing 

group of people with similar 

thoughts.” 

He has reflected on what the 

couple have in terms of a safety 

net. He’s talked to friends of 

their age and they agree people’s 

health and retirement needs can 

change very quickly. 

David says he can maintain 

his fitness through weeding 

some of the gardens near their 

townhouse, and he also helps 

with other gardens for friends on 

the east side of Christchurch. 

“I don’t see gardening as work 

really. I enjoy it as it helps me 

keep fit and I like things being 

tidy,” he says. 

It is also the people who are 

important at Northwood, and 

these include fellow residents 

and the wonderful village team, 

who help organise outings and 

events such as the once a week 

Happy Hour for residents. 

“They’re brilliant. . . couldn’t 

be better,” he says of the staff. 

He and Eileen like the ‘lockup 

and leave’ aspect of the 

village. 

Eileen, for example, has 

recently been on a trans-Tasman 

cruise, and the couple plan to 

fly into Cairo in April for an 

Egyptian getaway including a 

cruise on the Nile river. 

Eileen says she loves the 

atmosphere of the village: “It’s 

like being on holiday all the 

time. It’s great.” 

Sales advisor Sharyn Wilson 

says it has been a privilege to 

welcome the Jorgensens among 

the first residents to move 

into the village in the north of 

Christchurch. 

“Watching the village 

transform at the rate it has 

continues to add to the 

excitement here,” Sharyn says. 

“It’s been wonderful seeing 

our village grow and watching 

our residents form new 

friendships. We truly have so 

many lovely people moving in.”

it really sets us up for the week ahead. I’ve

chopped

220g mushrooms, roughly chopped 

2 cloves garlic, crushed 

1½ tsp ground cumin

range of painting and decorating tools and 

hardware at incredible prices. 

The outlet store will offer a constantly 

changing array of products including

characteristic.” 

Operating from Monday to Friday, 7:30 

am to 4:00 pm, the store welcomes both 

trade professionals and the general public 

to explore this unique selection of painting 

and decorating items. 

Serves 4 

Ingredients 

1 shallot or ½ medium white onion, 

sliced 

1 Tbsp coconut oil or mild olive oil 

1 large piece of fresh root ginger (about 

3cm), peeled and grated 

2 cloves garlic, grated 

1 green chilli, deseeded and chopped 

1 tsp mustard seeds 

1 tsp ground coriander 

1 tsp ground cumin 

1 tsp ground turmeric 

300g dried black/brown lentils 

1 × 400ml tin of coconut milk 

200g Swiss chard, washed and roughly 

chopped 

Natural or dairy-free yoghurt, to serve 

(optional) 

Fresh coriander, chopped 

Directions 

In a shallow saucepan, fry the shallot 

or onion in the coconut or olive oil over 

a medium heat for 5 minutes, until it 

starts to soften and caramelise, stirring occasionally. 

Add the ginger, garlic and chilli and all 

of the spices, and fry for another 5 minutes, 

stirring often. 

Mix in the lentils, coconut milk and 

650ml water. 

Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and 

simmer for about 40–50 minutes, stirring 

occasionally, until the lentils are soft and 

the water absorbed. Add the Swiss chard 

and cook for 5 minutes, until wilted. 

Directions 

Preheat the oven to 150degC 

fan/170degC. 

Spread the drained beans on a baking 

tray and bake for 15 minutes until slightly 

dried out. (This is important.) Add the oil to 

a medium-large saucepan over a mediumhigh 

heat. Add the pepper, shallot or onion, 

mushrooms, garlic, cumin, paprika and 

mixed herbs and saute for around 8 minutes 

until soft. Remove from the heat and set 

aside to cool a little. 

Place the sauteed vegetables and all the 

remaining ingredients, including a good 

pinch of salt and grind of pepper, in a large 

food processor and pulse until combined, 

leaving some larger chunks. 

Using wet hands (as it helps prevent the 

mixture sticking), shape the mixture into 

6 patties (each roughly 8–10cm). Line a 

baking tray with parchment paper and place 

the patties on top. Put the tray in the fridge 

for a couple of hours, to help the patties stick 

together. 

Preheat the grill to a medium heat or the 

oven to 190degC fan 210degC. 

If grilling, drizzle a little olive oil over the 

patties and place them under the grill for 

8 minutes. Turn them over, then grill for 4 

minutes on the other side, checking every 

few minutes as every grill is different. They 

should look a little golden. 

If baking, drizzle a little olive oil over 

the patties, then bake in the oven for 10 

minutes. 

Flip them over and bake for a further 10 

minutes.

Tiny SUV packed with pep and personality 

ALONG WITH the new 

generation Jimny and the Ignis 

are the funky, fun and affordable 

members of the otherwise staid 

Suzuki NZ model line-up. 

They are the smallest new 

SUVs sold but have giant sized 

personalities. Alongside the 

popular Swift hatch, they are 

driving the brand’s continuing 

strong sales growth. 

With a unique design and 

trendy, yet slightly retro, 

appearance, the Ignis made a 

triumphant return in 2016 after 

a long absence, having an almost 

immediate and positive impact. 

Distinctive SUV looks, a 

roomy cabin, plus sharp pricing, 

meant it ticked a lot of boxes for 

those on a budget. 

www.drivesouth.co.nz 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

The Ignis gets runs on the 

board right away with its cute 

front end, chunky wheel arches 

and eye catching angled roofline. 

I like how the styling touches 

pay homage to previous Suzuki 

models from the mists of time. 

These include the “C” pillar 

slits from the 1970s Giugiarodesigned 

Fronte coupe, while the 

clamshell-shaped bonnet and 

guard garnish are a nod to the 

original 1988 Vitara SUV. 

The three-strong model lineup 

leads off the $22,990 GLX 

manual with a $1500 premium 

for the automatic. The higher 

spec LTD reviewed here is only 

available as an automatic sells for 

$26,500. 

A 1.2 litre 4-cylinder, 16-valve 

Ratings out of 10: Performance 6 Handling 7; Build Quality

Overall points out of 10: 7 

Incorporating 

best motorbuys 

double overhead camshaft engine 

is common across all three 

models. This multi-point fuel 

injected power plant has variable 

valve timing technology and 

produces 66kW and 120Nm of 

torque at 4400rpm. 

Dualjet engine technology 

engine reduces emissions. It does 

this brilliantly, with the manual 

producing just 107 grams per 

litre of CO2, and the automatic 

slightly more at 114 grams per 

litre. These figures better several 

hybrids costing considerably 

more than the humble Ignis. 

While these aren’t the 

ingredients for fire breathing 

performance, the engine 

has sufficient flexibility and 

responsiveness to satisfy most 

owners without sending their 

pulses racing. 

Acceleration is lively and the 

motor shows far more tenacity 

than its modest capacity would 

suggest. However, at higher revs 

it does become coarse and lumpy. 

The automatic in the test car 

proved smooth and efficient in 

lower speed urban driving. At 

open road pace it’s less agreeable, 

proving slow to kick down under 

hard acceleration when you need 

that extra burst of power. 

The cabin is modern, inviting 

and offers a decent amount of 

space for a diminutive hatch. 

There is plenty of head and leg 

room for both front and rear 

occupants, while good ground 

clearance makes it easy to enter 

and leave. 

The LTD is well appointed 

with cruise control, power 

steering, electric windows and 

electric mirrors. A computer 

displays fuel consumption, sixspeaker 

audio system, Bluetooth 

audio-streaming and hands-free 

calling. 

Playful and surprisingly 

composed road holding are 

a good fit with the vehicle’s 

effervescent personality. 

However, being taller and 

narrower than other cars in 

this class, body lean enters the 

handling frame sooner when 

nudging things along through 

tight corners or over undulating 

terrain. This only becomes worse 

if you continue to unreasonably 

push the vehicles handling 

limits. A plus for urbanites is 

the vehicle’s excellent turn-ona-dime 

4.7 metre turning circle, 

that makes light work of U-turns 

in narrow streets.
