Young disc golf star hoping to 

go the distance in Oklahoma 

• By Emily O’Hagan 

SARAH Wadsworth already 

holds two disc golf distance 

throwing world titles – and she’ll 

soon be competing for another at 

the world junior champs in the 

United States. 

The nine-year-old from Banks 

Avenue School will take part in 

the under-10s competition in 

Tulsa, Oklahoma, where she will 

be the youngest competitor. 

Sarah is confident her skills 

and determination will take her 

far in the sport. 

“It’s going to be a career one 

day, but at the moment it’s 

(about) having fun.” 

After learning about disc golf 

through a friend, Sarah picked 

up a frisbee and discovered what 

the growing sport was all about. 

Not only is Sarah a top disc 

golf player, she is excelling in 

other sports. 

She won the Canterbury 

8-years girls discus and shot put 

championship in March, after 

weeks earlier breaking the Canterbury 

shot put record by 1.85m. 

Her father Paul has also developed 

a passion for the sport. 

“We found it was a fantastic 

game to play as a family and 

that’s why we went out and 

bought a starter pack so we could 

all go out and play together.” 

Her sporting prowess is not 

surprising. 

Paul was a top javelin thrower 

in the 1990s. He represented

championships in July. As 

Sarah has progressed in the 

sport, her father Paul has also 

developed a passion for it.

New Zealand, and was based 

in Europe for a while in a bid 

to qualify for the 1994 Commonwealth 

Games in Victoria, 

Canada. But an injury at a training 

camp in Germany dashed 

any hopes of qualifying for the 

games. 

“People say she (Sarah) is a 

chip off the old block. But she’s 

far ahead of the old block,” he 

laughed. 

Paul said it has taken a lot of 

passion and dedication to get 

Sarah to where she is today. 

“Trying to learn the actual 

idiosyncrasy of throwing one of 

these and getting the maximum 

distance or the best flight out of 

it and how the angles work and 

how the discs work, it’s been 

rapid. We’ve been going just over 

two years.” 

Sarah competed in the US last 

year and met some disc golf pros 

there, including current mentor 

and sponsor Kona Montgomery, 

a top-ranked professional and 

disc golf social media star. 

The Wadsworths had been 

approached by a number of potential 

sponsors, but Sarah said 

she connected with Kona. 

“Kona really hit us because 

she wanted to mentor me as a 

child, which I thought was just so 

unreal that I would have someone 

mentoring me and I would 

be going to world champs and 

maybe there’s a chance I could 

actually win.” 

However, getting to international 

events is expensive 

so Sarah’s family have set up a 

fundraising page at givealittle. 

co.nz/cause/world-juniors-2024 

and are working on other fundraising 

ideas to help get her to 

Oklahoma in July.

Award-winner inspired 

by quake experience 

THIRTEEN YEARS ago, Ben 

Exton was shovelling sand 

and liquefied silt out of his 

great-uncle’s garden – now he 

has become the first engineer 

outside of academia to win a 

prestigious EQC award. 

The former Riccarton High 

student received the Ivan Skinner 

Award at the New Zealand 

Society of Earthquake Engineering 

conference last week in recognition 

of his work to develop 

and commercialise cost-effective 

quake engineering solutions. 

“What I 

remember from 

the Canterbury 

earthquakes was 

the enormous 

damage, but also 

the incredible 

human impact,” 

said Exton, who 

was a year 12 

Ben Exton 

student when the February 22, 

2011, quake struck. 

“I particularly recall my greatuncle, 

who was a keen gardener, 

and his beloved garden was 

completely covered in sand and 

silt from liquefaction. Watching 

a stoic Kiwi bloke like him 

totally devastated and helpless 

against the effects of an earthquake 

made a huge impact on 

me.” 

Exton, 29, is now the chief 

executive and co-founder of 

Seismic Shift Ltd. 

He is the first engineer outside 

of academia to receive the 

award, which is funded by EQC 

Toka Tū Ake. 

“Receiving this award is really 

encouraging for me, but I hope 

also for others in the private 

sector seeking to make the 

world a better place through 

innovation. 

“It is important to test new 

ideas in the laboratory for 

scientific grounding, and then 

turn these ideas into real-life 

solutions that are cost-effective 

and fit the current building 

environment.” 

After finishing his degree at 

Canterbury University, Exton 

cut his engineering teeth at 

Structex and further expanded 

his skills at Building Revolutions 

Group and Maynard Marks, 

before co-founding his company 

with fellow engineer Geoff 

Banks. 

Exton’s wife Miki has an 

architectural background, and 

provides the perfect foil to 

explore new ideas. 

Seismic Shift Ltd is currently 

developing a low-cost base 

dissipation system for residential 

homes to prevent or minimise 

damage to buildings during an 

earthquake. 

“I had this picture forming in 

my head at 3am, so I sketched 

it and then decided to get the 

design printed in 3D. We didn’t 

have too much confidence in the 

sketch on paper, but when Miki 

and I put the 3D pieces together, 

it actually worked.” 

Fundraiser aims 

to fill beds at 

children’s centre 

CHOLMONDELEY Children’s 

Centre has turned to the 

Canterbury community to ask 

for help to fill the beds at its 

respite care facility. 

It has launched ‘Give a Good 

Nights Sleep’, a fundraising 

campaign with three of the 

centre’s beds installed throughout 

the city to help drive both 

awareness and donations. 

“We wanted to install something 

in the city that reminded 

the public about Cholmondeley’s 

role in the community and that 

every night for 50 weeks of the 

year there are tamariki in need 

being cared for by us,” said 

Cholmondeley Children’s Centre 

general manager, Toni Tinirau. 

Cholmondeley has 23 beds 

for children to stay in during 

times of family stress or crisis, 

but on average just 17 of these 

beds are filled due to financial 

limitations. 

“We work hard to provide 

a free safe haven for as many 

Canterbury tamariki as we can 

but we can’t do it alone, we need 

the community to come together 

and help us fill our beds,” Tinirau 

said. 

The ‘Give a Good Nights Sleep’ 

campaign has the three beds

installed at Riverside Market, 

The Palms shopping centre and 

Ballantynes department store. 

“Every empty bed is a missed 

opportunity to support a child 

in need, if you can help us out 

at all please donate to give Canterbury 

tamariki a safe place to 

sleep,” Tinirau said. 

Cholmondeley is an independent 

charity and costs just 

under $3 million to run per year 

with 20 per cent of that met by 

Government funding and the 

remainder coming from the support 

of the community.

Shining a spotlight on buildings, culture 

THE ANNUAL festival of 

architectural excellence, Open 

Christchurch, returns on 

May 3-5 with a celebration 

of the city’s architecture and 

a combination of innovative 

and heritage buildings from 

the northwestern suburbs, 

spanning a range of uses, styles 

and ages. 

The festival, presented by Te 

Pūtahi Centre for Architecture 

and City Making, shines a spotlight 

on adaptive reuse and one 

of this year’s highlights is the 

fascinating Marian College. 

A chance for attendees to 

understand reuse at the scale 

of the building, this school is 

entirely housed in a converted 

supermarket distribution centre. 

The chapel, with its star-light 

ceiling based on the night sky 

of when the school first opened, 

is one of many features within 

the site. 

Open from 10am-2pm on 

Saturday, May 4, with talks 

from the architects and staff 

and a last entry at 1.30pm, 

festival organisers expect this to 

be popular and advise visitors 

should be prepared to queue. 

Other buildings in the area 

among the 50 open for exploration 

over the festival weekend 

include two historically important 

beauties at Rangi Ruru, 

open on Sunday, May 5, from 

12-3pm. 

St Andrew’s Church, a timber

Gothic Revival building moved 

from near the Christchurch 

hospital to rest at its current 

site, will be brought to life with 

a free bookable event at 2pm 

on Sunday – a talk from deputy 

principal Juliet Collins on its 

links to early settlers and an 

architecture tour with William 

Fulton, who will share details 

about its architectural significance 

and restoration. 

Te Koraha, now the school’s 

administrative centre, is also 

open for exploration from 

12-3pm on Sunday, offering a 

chance to experience a former 

way of life. 

Originally designed as a large 

home for early settlers, it was 

the setting for society gatherings. 

Former guests include 

Robert Falcon Scott and the 

Duke and Duchess of Cornwall 

– before becoming part of the 

school. 

Over at Elmwood Park and 

highlighting the importance of 

recreation to its community, the 

Jim Wakefield Pavilion is opening 

its doors on Sunday from 

10am-2pm. Attendees can explore 

this small but distinctive 

clubhouse, delve into cricket 

lore through memorabilia and 

chat to an expert on site. 

Colin McKean from Athfield 

Architects will be present to 

answer questions about this 

tent-like pavilion that floats 

above the green. 

Open Christchurch 2024 

features fifty buildings opening 

their doors for the public to 

explore over the course of one 

weekend, for free (apart from a 

handful of residential buildings 

and guided walks, which are $5 

plus booking fees). 

A public programme of 40- 

plus activities – talks, tours and 

exhibitions – allows visitors to 

find out more.

Still feeling the buzz after years 

of service to amateur athletics 

Papanui Toc H life 

member Lawrence 

‘Buzz’ Jones is a 

great contributor to 

local athletics. Sports 

reporter Sam Coughlan 

caught up with him to 

discuss his time in the 

sport 

WORKING WITH one of New 

Zealand’s best athletics coaches 

was “bloody marvellous,” says 

Buzz. 

A talented sprinter across the 

100 and 225-yard distances, in 

1956 Buzz was searching for 

something extra that would 

propel him into the reckoning 

for the 1958 Commonwealth 

Games in Wales. 

It came in the form of 

Valdemar ‘Valdy’ Briedis – a 

Latvian-born coach based in 

Christchurch. 

“I went and saw him in 1956 

and I said, ‘right, I want you to 

coach me and I’ll give you two 

years’,” Buzz said. 

The effect was immediate – 

Buzz was Canterbury champion 

in 1956, 1957 and 1958 across 

both sprinting disciplines. 

He said Briedis was a fantastic 

coach. 

“He was a hard guy, but he 

was a good coach. We used to 

go up to his place after a Sunday 

run up the Port Hills and come 

back and he’d make pancakes 

for us. 

“He sort of gave you the inspiration 

to actually perform a 

little bit better than you actually 

were. He boosted you up a wee 

bit and he brought the best out 

of his athletes, all the time.” 

The coaching had Buzz on the 

verge of Commonwealth Games 

selection – before a horrific 

injury struck. 

“Three weeks before the team 

was announced, I pulled two

hamstrings. Not one, bloody 

two of the bastards. 

“They told me, they reckon I 

went about eight feet in the air. 

They went like rubber bands.” 

COACH: Latvian born Valdemar “Valdy” Briedis played a major role in Buzz Jones’ training. 

A former president of Papanui 

Toc H, Buzz, who recently 

celebrated his 87th birthday, 

started doing athletics at high 

school before joining the Crichton 

Cobbers club at 15. 

He started working with Briedis 

when he was 19. 

He was already Buzz at that 

point – the nickname given to 

him as a child by his sister, after 

he would run around with his 

arms out pretending to be an 

airplane. 

In the 1960s, Buzz travelled 

to Melbourne to represent the 

Power House Athletic club. 

“It was the greatest time of my 

life,” he said. 

“I ran great times over there. 

I met bloody great athletes over 

there. I met some of the greatest 

athletic coaches in the world 

over there.” 

When Buzz returned to New 

Zealand and joined Toc H in 

1962, he organised annual 

meets between his two clubs – 

the events alternating between 

Melbourne and Christchurch 

each year, with the final one 

held in 1970. 

Buzz was an official at the 

1974 Commonwealth Games 

held at QEII stadium in 

Christchurch, in charge of the 

starting blocks for sprinters. 

He said they were the “greatest 

games in the world,” and he 

was disappointed the stadium 

was neglected after being damaged 

in the Christchurch earthquakes. 

“I thought personally they 

could have rebuilt it there. I 

honestly do. 

“Ngā Puna Wai, I don’t like 

it down there, it’s too bloody 

cold.” 

These days he helps with fundraising 

for the club – selling 

honey and running pub quizzes, 

as well as chipping in himself 

to help young athletes play and 

travel for the sport. 

“I do a life membership-type 

fund and we put in and help 

athletes who can’t afford to pay 

for their fees,” he said. 

“Also I give honey to the kids 

and we sell them for ten bucks 

a jar and they can make up to 

four dollars a jar. 

“So it’s good fundraising for 

them.” 

Each jar of honey has a thankyou 

note on the back – a token 

of appreciation for those willing 

to help out. 

Keeping young people, he 

says aged 16-23, in athletics, 

and helping others get into the 

sport, is one of the main aims 

for Buzz. 

“I can remember one day I 

went down to the club and we’ve 

got a shed there with all the 

equipment in. 

“There was a bunch of kids sitting 

there, and they had a bag 

beside them full of graffiti spray 

cans, so I knew, obviously, what 

was going to happen,” he said. 

“I went in and I grabbed a 

couple of javelins, and I brought 

them out, and I told them ‘have 

a throw’, and one of the little 

bastards could throw the bloody 

thing! 

“I said, ‘I want you here Tuesday 

night’. Bugger me, he turns 

up Tuesday night. And he ended 

up getting a placing in the Canterbury 

champs. 

“That gives you a bit of joy in 

yourself, a bit of satisfaction.”

ANZAC DAY 

THURSDAY APRIL 25, 2024 

Remembering our Anzacs 

“The darkness, calm and chill of the early morning; the sound of 

the single tap of the drum of the parade; the emotionless faces 

of the catafalque guard, and the mournful notes of Last Post 

sounded by a lone bugler, combine to give a feeling of deep 

solemnity. It is the intensity of the symbolism which contributes 

to its powerful impact upon participants; indeed what underlies its 

popularity. In a country with few public rituals, the Dawn Service 

continues to provide a sense of occasion as a meaningful ritual of 

remembrance.” 

rsa.org.nz 

Every year Anzac Day is observed on April 25 by communities 

throughout New Zealand and Australia to remember those who have 

served and those who lost their lives in war. The term ANZAC is the 

acronym for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, and was first 

used in World War 1. These groups of soldiers back then were known 

as ‘the Anzacs’. 

Anzac commemorations may consist of one or more ceremonies – 

one at dawn (timed to coincide with the initial landings at Gallipoli 

by Australian troops who were the first ashore) and/or one later 

in the morning. The ceremonies are rich in tradition and generally 

begin with a parade of returned servicemen and military personnel 

followed by cadets, youth groups and local dignitaries. War veterans, 

proudly sporting their medals lead the parade, which leads to a local 

cenotaph or memorial gate where the ceremony includes a service 

with hymns, laying of wreaths, dedications, prayers and the Last Post 

played on a bugle. Morning tea follows and allows people to share 

memories and catch up with friends and neighbours. 

Anzac Day was first observed by servicemen in 1916 to mark the 

anniversary of New Zealand and Australian soldiers landing on the 

Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915. It soon became a day where all New 

Zealanders and Australians took time to remember the men and 

women who perished in the Great War. In 1921, Anzac Day became 

an official holiday and by 1922 it was declared a full public holiday 

where shops, banks and hotels remained closed for the day. 

Symbol of remembrance 

The red (or Flanders) poppy is a symbol of remembrance and hope 

all over the world and, in some countries, is worn on Armistice 

Day, however in New Zealand the red poppy is commonly worn 

on Anzac Day. The first Poppy Day appeal was on April 24 in 1922, 

where funds from the sales of small and large silk poppies helped 

relieve suffering in war-ravaged northern France. A paper version 

of the poppy is now sold by the Royal New Zealand Returned 

Services Association on Poppy Day to raise awareness for Anzac 

Day and funds for returned soldiers and their families and local 

communities. 

‘They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: 

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. 

At the going down of the sun and in the morning 

We will remember them.’

Dairy-free ‘cheesecake’ a crowd pleaser 

YOU WON’T believe this 

gorgeous creamy and decadent 

cheesecake is plant-based and it’s 

rather nutritious for a dessert. 

The base is a decadent blend 

of natural nuts and coconut and 

the filling gives you lusciously 

creamy cashews and coconut 

yoghurt bursting with the tart 

zing of fresh lemons (this one is 

good and lemony). 

It takes a little prep to soak the 

cashews, but I promise it’s well 

worth it – this is a very special 

dessert that everyone will enjoy 

whether they eat dairy or not. 

LEMON MOUSSE 

‘CHEESECAKE’ 

Vegetarian and Vegan friendly 

Prep time: 45 minutes 

Serves 12 

Ingredients: 

Cheesecake base 

1 ½ cups Alison’s Pantry deluxe 

natural nuts 

1 cup Alison’s Pantry shredded 

coconut 

3/4 cup Alison’s Pantry 

wholegrain oats 

1/3 cup Alison’s Pantry sultanas 

Zest of 1 lemon, plus 2 tsp juice 

1 tbsp coconut oil 

1/4 tsp salt 

Cheesecake filling 

2 cups Alison’s Pantry natural 

cashews (pre-soaked, in water for 

at least 4 hours – or overnight in 

the fridge, then drained and well 

rinsed) 

1/2 cup lemon juice 

1/2cup coconut oil, melted 

1/2 cup caster sugar 

1 tsp pure vanilla extract 

3/4 tsp salt 

1 ¼ cups thick (Greek-style) 

coconut yoghurt 

Zest of 4 lemons 

1 x 400g can chickpeas 

Cheesecake topping 

Berries of your choice 

Method: 

• Line the base and sides of a 

23cm tin with baking paper. 

• Add the base ingredients to a 

food processor and whizz until 

you have a nice fine crumb – 

tilting the processor sometimes 

helps it blend better. It will 

probably need a good couple 

of minutes, process until the 

mixture gums a bit when you 

press it between your fingers. 

Tip out into the prepared tin and 

flatten into an even layer. 

• Add to the food processor 

prepared cashews, lemon juice, 

coconut oil, sugar, vanilla and 

salt. Whizz on high for a few 

minutes (scrape down the sides 

once or twice) until the mixture 

silky smooth – it may take a 

while. Scrape the mixture into a 

large mixing bowl. 

• Add the coconut yoghurt and 

lemon zest to the bowl, and fold 

to combine. 

• Drain the tin of chickpeas 

so the liquid (aquafaba) goes 

straight into another medium 

mixing bowl (keep the chickpeas 

to use in another recipe). Using 

an electric beater, beat on high 

for a good few minutes, until 

the mixture is super thick and 

voluminous, white and fluffy, 

and forms very stiff peaks. Add 

1/4 cup of the aquafaba fluff to 

the cashew mixture and fold 

with a spatula to aerate it. Then 

add about three-quarters of the 

remaining fluff and fold in to 

evenly combine (if you add the 

whole lot that’s fine, it will just be 

a very light cheesecake texture). 

• Scrape the lemon mixture into 

the tin on top of the base and 

smooth out. Cover tightly and 

freeze for 4-5 hours, or overnight. 

• To serve, remove from the 

freezer about half an hour 

beforehand. (If you need to wait 

longer than that you can put it in 

the fridge it will keep its shape 

perfectly). Pull off the paper 

and adorn the top with berries 

of your choice. Dust with icing 

sugar. Use a hot sharp knife to 

cut into slices. 

Chelsea’s helpful tips 

• You can freeze the cheesecake 

(unadorned) for up to a month 

– just make sure it’s in a tightly 

sealed container so it doesn’t 

taste like the freezer. 

• If you have a bullet/high speed 

blender, you can use this for the 

cashew mixture as it will give 

a silkier texture. You may need 

to do the mixture in two lots, 

though. 

• Once it’s been frozen, it will 

keep covered in the fridge for a 

few days. You don’t have to store 

it in the freezer. 

• If you can’t find fresh berries, 

some half-defrosted blueberries 

will work fine.

Ageing ASX off the pace in compact market 

NEARLY 15 years into its model 

life, and well past automotive 

retirement age, Mitsubishi’s ASX 

continues to feature prominently 

among our top 10 selling new 

vehicles. 

The on-going popularity of this 

stalwart of the Mitsubishi family 

is built around sharp pricing, a 

long warranty and an enviable 

reputation for reliability. This is 

enough for the ASX to counter 

smarter looking, more refined 

and better driving compact urban 

SUV rivals. The company does 

this by offering a well appointed 

and priced model line-up new car 

purchasers know and trust. 

About three years ago, the 

ASX underwent one the biggest 

upgrades in its long and successful 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

career that started way back in 

2009. 

The most obvious change was 

a more modern and aggressive 

facelift, so well executed it visually 

took years off the vehicle’s life. 

You can get behind the wheel 

of an ASX in entry-level LS trim 

from for just $27,990. The more 

generously equipped XLS retails 

for the $31,990 and the fully 

loaded VRX is good value at 

$35,995. 

Power, and not a whole lot, is 

provided by a basic non-turbo 

112kW 2.0 litre petrol motor with 

plenty of years on the clock, but 

still as honest and earnest as ever. 

Throttle response is meek 

until the rev counter cracks 

the 4000rpm mark when the 

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

6; Comfort 6; Passenger and Load Space 6; Styling 6; Value 

for money 8; Safety – Five Star ANCAP crash rating. 

Overall points out of 10: 6.5 

Incorporating 

best motorbuys 

www.drivesouth.co.nz 

motor feels more convincing and 

purposeful, but still off the pace set 

by newer motors. 

However, this belated burst 

of enthusiasm is all bit too little 

to the party. Some lethargy is 

down to the decent 200Nm wad 

of torque being a no-show until 

4200rpm. It should be on the 

job at least 1000rpm earlier to 

make a meaningful performance 

contribution. 

Some constant variable transmission 

(CVT) gearboxes are 

better than others and Mitsubishi 

have made incremental improvements 

to this one over the years. 

While far from perfect, it’s 

perfectly adequate in a pricedriven 

model such as the ASX. 

Passenger space is okay by 

compact SUV standards although 

rear headroom isn’t great for taller 

back seat passengers. Rear hatch 

cargo space is modest and isn’t 

helped by the vehicle’s high floor 

area and lack of load height. 

The 8-inch smartphone link 

display audio system offers 

intuitive design to complement its 

Apple Carplay and Android Auto 

connectivity. The VRX doesn’t 

disappoint as the most lavishly 

appointed member of the ASX 

family. Underlining that status 

are leather-trimmed seats, rainsensing 

wipers and dusk sensing 

headlights. 

All models, including the VRX, 

have an integrated system of active 

and passive safety features. This 

comprises seven airbags (driver, 

driver’s knee, passenger, side and 

curtain), hill start assist, electronic 

brake-force distribution, active 

traction control, active stability 

control and multi-mode anti-lock 

braking system. 

A proven fully-independent 

suspension set-up lays the 

foundation for a competent 

rather than rewarding handling 

experience, and its effort to 

achieve aren’t helped by the 

vehicle’s extra ride height, that 

under hard cornering ups the 

body lean ante. 

The steering is light, and 

short on the levels of road feel 

to consistently deliver sufficient 

grip and road holding that would 

lift the vehicle out of the fair to 

middling handling zone. Overall, 

the ride and handling is acceptable 

for an aging, price driven compact 

urban SUV that remains a 

consistently strong seller here.

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.
