‘You only get one dad’
• By Sasha Watson
MADDI McIVOR and Montana
Woods both have a great
relationship with their dads – but
they know it’s not like that for
every teenage daughter.
That is why they are writing
and producing a book,
Dadsitting, on some of the
struggles and experiences a
daughter will face as they grow
into women.
“We think a book will help
educate fathers so they can have
more of an understanding of
what their daughter is going
through, so they can become
closer with their daughters.
“You only get one dad,” said
Montana, 17.
Maddi, 18, said what they have
seen, since starting the project
in February, is a stereotype that
daughters relate more to their
mothers.
“It shouldn’t be that way.
Daughters should feel equally as
close to their dad. Dads should
also feel like they can connect
with their children.
“Having a daughter is probably
really scary for them – they
may not know what women go
through.”
The book, which will be in an
online audio form, will highlight
the experiences an average teen
girl will go through like periods,
starting high school, friendship
conflicts, first parties, first
relationships, first breakups,
social media and body issues.
The pair, who plan to get
in touch with an editor and
a publisher later in the year,
have spent the last school term
exploring what issues teenage
girls face through an online
survey and interviewing students
at the school.
Maddi said the next step will
be to gather information and
views from various fathers.
“After the school holidays, we
are going to talk with more father
figures.
“While we both have a good
relationship with our dads, some
girls are struggling to connect
with theirs.”
The pair completed the first
challenge of the YES scheme/
competition last week, which is
where they submitted evidence
on validation of their product by
taking a prototype to market.
The next challenge for the two
will be pitching their product.
The one-year programme
requires students from across
the country to complete four
challenges before proceeding

judges to be selected as regional

scholarships and awards.

School makes a bid for new campus
• By Dylan Smits
TE PĀ o Rākaihautū students
will travel between Linwood and
Diamond Harbour if a proposed
new campus goes ahead.
A second campus for the
Māori immersion school could
be built on 8 ha of the city
council-owned 39.02 ha block at
the junction of Hunters Rd and
Whero Ave.
Te Pā
board chair
Rangimarie
Parata Takurua
said students
would study
at the planned
new campus
Rangimarie
Parata
Takura
and the existing
Linwood site
on McLean
St (formerly
Linwood Intermediate School).
She said arrival and leaving
times would be staggered
throughout the day, as students
travelled between the campuses.
Many would go to Diamond
Harbour by bus instead of car.
“It’s not like a typical nine-tothree
drop-off plan.”
Parata Takurua said if a land
sale was approved the school
would start releasing more detail
around a transport plan.
The site was chosen to be near
Ngāti Wheke at Rāpaki marae,
who already have a close relationship
with the school.
POTENTIAL: Te Pā o Rākaihautū is looking to purchase 8 ha of a 39.04 ha block of city council-owned land in Diamond
Harbour for a second campus to complement its Linwood site.
PHOTOS: NEWSLINE, GOOGLE
But a survey shows Diamond
Harbour residents are split on
selling the city council land
to Te Pā o Rākaihautū, with
many of those opposed citing
potential increased traffic into
the area.
The survey was conducted
by the Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū
Banks Peninsula Community
Board ahead of a meeting on
Monday.
Provisional land sale agreements
will be approved or rejected
by the community board.
“There’s quite a few people
who probably aren’t too against
the idea of the school, it’s more
we think that there hasn’t been
enough information provided,”
said Diamond Harbour Community
Association chair
Graeme Fraser.
He said it would “go down
quite badly” with people in the
community if a full traffic plan
was only released after a provisional
land sale.
“People will feel much better if
there are concrete details down
in writing.”
Fraser agreed the staggered
arrival of students would help
address traffic concerns, but
more details needed to be made
publicly available.
The survey asked if the proposed
school was a good use for
part of the land.
Of the 424 survey respondents,
168 lived in Diamond Harbour.
The rest were from outside the
area.
Views on the proposed school
were split with 50.9 per cent of
Diamond Harbour respondents
opposed, 34.9 per cent fully in
favour, 8.9 per cent somewhat in
favour, and 5.3 per cent unsure.
Fraser said some Diamond
Harbour residents could be
opposed because of the school’s
Māori focus.
“Diamond Harbour people are
a bit of a mixed bag about things
like that, like everywhere else in
New Zealand. That’s why I’d like
the school to make a stronger
case, because then I think people
like that wouldn’t have anything
to complain about.”
Parata Takarua said “there
may be those elements, but we’ve
got to focus on what the needs of
our communities are.”
The cost of implementing the
land sales or the build are not yet
known.

Cameron Bailey recently sold a home for our family and I am very pleased to
recommend him. Our home was relatively modest but we got a Rolls Royce
service from the first meeting until the keys were handed over.
He and his team supported our decision making with good data and plenty of
communication.
They were always a step ahead of us and never needed to be chased for
anything. Totally professional and empathetic, brought a human approach
to a stressful process and achieved a very good price for us.

Six-a-side league tournament about
• By Will Evans
NGĀ PUNA Wai played host
to Canterbury Rugby League’s
innovative Backyard Footy
primary school tournament
last week, bringing together 42
teams from 26 schools – with
an unprecedented 400-plus kids
participating in partnership
with Primary Sports
Canterbury.
Backyard Footy is six-a-side
rugby league with modified
rule to encourage high player
involvement and exciting, freeflowing
10-minute long games.
“Backyard Footy is all about
kids getting their hands on a
rugby league ball and having
fun,” CRL director of football
Jamie Lester said.
“We want the kids that already
play rugby league to continue
their love for the game and for
the kids experiencing rugby
league for the first time to create
a love for rugby league.
“Games are six versus six,
played on a small field so all
players are heavily involved, and
games are action-packed.
“There are no scrums, and
minimal kicks or stoppages in
play.
“We don’t give out medals or
trophies to the winners. Instead,
we encourage a great attitude
and your best effort. That’s
the message from Canterbury
Rugby League and Primary
Sport Canterbury.”

growing love for the game
After 24 teams featured in the
2023 edition, this year’s tournament
included 12 year 5 and 6
teams, 26 sides in the year 7 and
8 boys grade and four year 7 and
8 girls teams, the first time all-girl
teams have played in this agegroup.
Schools from all corners of the
wider Christchurch area entered
teams, while Canterbury Rugby
League’s burgeoning relationship
with West Coast Rugby League
– Greymouth Greyhounds made
their CRL Men’s Premiership
debut last weekend – further
reflected by Grey Main School
youngsters making the trip over.
“It was so great to see so many
kids playing around 100 games
throughout the day at Ngā Puna
Wai,” Lester said.
“It was cool to have four all-girls
teams which was a new addition
this year. Most girls were trying
rugby league for the first time, so
we did a ‘how to play’ coaching
session with them.
“Seeing so many smiling faces
throughout the day was truly
rewarding,’’ he said.
“We want to send out a big
thank you to Primary Sports
Canterbury for organising the
event and to Haeata Community
College students and our other
volunteers for all their amazing
work. It was a fantastic day and
I’m already excited for the 2025
tournament.”

Veggie burgers offer a healthy alternative
VEGGIE BURGERS
Vegetarian & vegan friendly
Prep & cook time: 60 minutes
Makes 6 patties
Ingredients:
Burger patties
⅓ cup brown rice
¾ cup Alison’s Pantry brown
lentils
1 brown onion, finely chopped
250g portobello mushrooms,
finely chopped
¾ cup grated beetroot
½ cup Alison’s Pantry
wholegrain oats
¼ cup flour
1 tbsp Alison’s Pantry chia seeds
1 ½ tsp paprika
1 ½ tsp vegetable stock powder
¾ tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp salt
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tbsp tomato paste
to sit for 15 minutes – or cover
and leave as long as you need.
Burger fillings
6 burger buns
Mayonnaise (store-bought or
make your own vegan-friendly
mayo)
Crunchy cos or iceberg lettuce
leaves
Thinly sliced red onion
Sliced gherkins or pickle
Mustard & ketchup
Cheese or vegan cheese
(optional)
Method:
• In a large pot add the rice and
4 cups of lightly salted water (big
enough to let the lentils double or
triple in). Bring to a boil, reduce
the heat and simmer for about 10
minutes. Add the lentils, cover
and simmer for a further 25-30
minutes or so, or until the lentils
are tender. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tbsp oil in
a pan over medium heat. Add
the onion and cook, stirring
every now and then, for 7-10
minutes until softened. Add
the mushrooms, beetroot and
a big pinch of salt and cook for
another 10 minutes, stirring
frequently until the mixture is
mushy and reduced. Set aside.
• Whizz the oats, flour, chia seed,
paprika, stock powder, pepper
and salt in a processor until fine.
Add to a large mixing bowl along
with drained lentils and rice, the
onion mixture, garlic and tomato
paste. Mix vigorously to combine
so you mush the lentils and rice
up a bit and get it the mixture
nice and sticky. It might look
too wet right now but that’s OK.
Cover and refrigerate for half an
hour (or until needed).
• Preheat the oven to 180c on fan
bake.
• Shape the mixture into six
patties (using clean damp hands
so the mixture doesn’t stick).
• Arrange on a baking tray and
bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow
• When ready to serve, fry
the patties in a little oil over
medium-high heat for about
minute each side, until browned
and crispy – they won’t need
long.
• Serve on lightly grilled buns
halves (you can spread them with
dairy-free spread or butter first if
you like) topped generously with
your choice of condiments and
fillings.
Lovely served with oven baked
chips and tomato sauce.

50 years in the trade a major milestone
Five decades, 50 years, half a century – no
matter how you put it, that’s a long stretch of
time in anyone’s reckoning. And that’s how
long Greg Box, owner/operator of Amazing
Auto Electric, has been involved in the autoelectrical
trade.
It all started when he began as an apprentice
with Benson Bros in Gisborne on June 24,
1974, learning the nuts and bolts of the trade
and acquiring the skills needed to pursue
a successful career as an auto-electrical
engineer.
After spending almost seven years there,
Greg headed overseas, and over the following
eight years he worked in the motor trade in
the UK, and for a large part of the time, in
the mining industry in Alaska, Australia and
Africa.
Family matters brought him back to New
Zealand, plus he was also keen to start his own
business here. With that in mind he re-located
to Christchurch in 1989, initially working for
a local firm, before launching out as a sole
trader in 1993.
A decade later he established his current
business, Amazing Auto Electric, opening a
workshop in Coleridge Street and employing
staff.
As a business it has proved a great success,
and while it is a challenging trade, and
one that can be stressful, it’s a trade he has
thoroughly enjoyed over the last 50 years. He
says for a person that enjoys working with
machinery and fixing things as he does, it’s an
ideal career.
“For an apprentice starting out it takes five
years to qualify, but for those that can stick to
it, it’s a great trade to be in.”
With auto-electrical systems
being re-designed every five to
10 years, ongoing training with
online and on-site courses
is also an important part of
keeping up in the industry,
Greg says.
He is proud of the service

he and his two staff – one
fully qualified and the other
undergoing his apprenticeship,
offer customers.
“Many of the problems
people have with their vehicles
are related to the electrical
system. When that warning
light comes up on the dashboard, it
indicates there’s something wrong, and we
can fix it,” Greg says, adding, “Over the years
we have been blessed with the best customers
and staff any business could wish for and we
wouldn’t be here without them.”
Amazing Auto Electric provides service for
all types of vehicle from trucks, to commercial
vans to family cars. Located at 65 Coleridge
Street, it is open 8am to 5pm Monday to
Friday.
And in just a few weeks’ time, Monday June
24 will be a red-letter day for owner Greg, as
he reaches his 50th anniversary in the trade, a
significant milestone by any measure.

We need your help to fill our beds.
Cholmondeley Children’s Centre has
23 beds for tamariki to stay during
times of whānau stress or crisis. On
average just 17 of these beds are filled
due to resourcing constraints.
Every empty bed is a missed
opportunity to support a child in need.
Donate today to give Canterbury
tamariki a safe place to sleep.
Cholmondeley Children’s Centre provides
short term emergency or planned respite care
for tamariki when they need extra support due
to complications at home.
Cholmondeley is an independent charity
and costs just under $3,000,000 per year to
run. 20% of this figure is met by Government
funding, and the remaining 80% comes from
the generous support of the Canterbury
community.
