Premiership
starts with
big clash for
Boys’ High
• By Sam Coughlan
CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High
School will open their defence of
the Miles Toyota Premiership
title in a rematch of last year’s
final.
Boys’ High travel north to take
on Nelson College on Saturday
– they beat Nelson 30-26 in the
final last season.
Assistant coach and rugby
master Mike Drury said taking
on Nelson had become the
biggest game on the calendar in
recent years.
“Over the last decade or so it
has become the really big game
for us each year.
“Nelson are consistently a
top-four side, they’ve had a lot
of success in that competition in
recent years, so they are definitely
a team to beat, and they’ve
become a real benchmark side of
the competition.”

Youth Hub gets $300k boost from Rotary
PROGRESS: A Youth Hub tour at Open Christchurch 2024.
PHOTO: PEANUT PRODUCTIONS
STAGE ONE construction of
the country’s first purpose-built
youth hub has been boosted with
a $300,000 donation from the
Riccarton Rotary Youth Trust.
Youth Hub Christchurch is
under construction in at 109
Salisbury St, with a focus on
providing services young people
need to improve and maintain
their mental health.
Construction of the $21 million
stage one – which includes a
supported housing wing with 23
bedrooms, a wraparound services
block for youth providers to work
from and an outdoor activities
courtyard – is expected to be
completed in July.
The Youth Hub Trust
will then spend the rest
of the year fitting out the
facility before opening it
progressively from late
2024.
Said Riccarton Rotary
Youth Trust chair Murray
Compton: “We’re
delighted to be able to
support the Youth Hub with
this $300,000 donation. We have
never previously given a single
grant of this magnitude, but we
believe the objectives of the
Youth Hub closely align to
those of our trust.
“The youth trust has been
operating for more than
30 years and has provided
more than $3 million in
support of youth. We look
forward to being part of
Murray
Compton
this exciting project that
will benefit all young people
in our region.” • Turn to page 5

Nature challenge reveals web of biodiversity
DR FRANK Ashwood plunged
his hands into a compost pile and
scattered the decaying material
onto a sheet, then waited and saw
movement.
His prey led him on a merry
chase around the small community
garden plot at Canterbury
University campus.
But the soil biologist managed
to corner the invertebrate and
collect his prize – a macro-photo
of Maratus griseus, a white-banded
house jumper posing for the
camera.
Those are the lengths scientists,
citizen scientists and city council

to as they catalogued
as much
biodiversity as

during the City
Nature Challenge
from April 26-29.
The challenge
Frank
Ashwood
encouraged people to head out
into nature and capture photos
of plants, animals and fungi then
log them on the iNaturalist app.
Christchurch made the most
observations of any city in
Oceania with more than 20,000
registered during the challenge.
A prizegiving held last week
saw Ashwood take home the
“most inspiring invertebrate”
award.

Caring for the biggest mother of all
A MAMMOTH effort was
undertaken over the weekend to
remove rubbish from the Avon-
Heathcote Estuary and Lyttelton
Harbour.
More than 50 groups took part
in the Mother of All Clean Ups,
held annually on the Saturday
before Mother’s Day.
From 10am to noon, volunteers
from schools, community groups
and workplaces were busy
chatting and picking up litter.
The final weigh in was 2.06
tons. Last year it was 2.37 tons.
Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai
Trust manager Tanya Jenkins
said the decrease showed an
improvement in the amount
of litter around Christchurch
waterways.
TEAM-BUILDING: Mitre10 Ferrymead staff after a successful collection at

Experienced players
to steer young side
• From page 1
With an influx of new faces –
just eight players remain from
last season’s squad – Drury said
the side will rely on those with
more experience to lead the
team.
In particular, third-year players
Will Haig, Finn McLeod and
James Moore.
“Normally there will be a
single person that has played two
years previously, but to have the
three third-year players this year
does give a lot of experience,”
said Drury.
“Having those boys in the
team with that experience,
leading the other lads, will be
important.”
Drury said a lot rests on the
shoulders of Haig, a talented
first-five-eighth who has
represented Canterbury in touch
and was in the Crusaders junior
camp last year.
“He’s vastly experienced, one
of our third-year players.
“We’re expecting a lot from
him to steer the team around the
park.”
Drury highlighted a few new
players to keep an eye on.
“Jonty Leary, he’s our blindside
flanker, he’s come up from the
under-15s last year.

Youth Hub thrilled
with big donation
• From page 1
Youth Hub trust chair Dame
Sue Bagshaw is thrilled with the
donation.
“This project would simply
not be possible without donors
like the Riccarton
Rotary Youth Trust
believing in what we’re
trying to build for our
city’s young people,”
she said.
“Youth Hub
Christchurch will help
all Christchurch youth,
especially those who
have had a rough start
in life, break the intergenerational
cycle of adversity and give
them the skills, support and
confidence they need to meet
their potential.”
More than 8000 young people
between 10 and 24 are expected
Sue
Bagshaw
to walk through the hub’s doors
annually. The Rotary donation
will go towards furniture and
equipment purchases for the
project and the large meeting
room in the youth services
block will be named in
recognition of their generosity.
The Youth Hub Trust
continues to fundraise to
fitout the facility, as well
as for stage two which includes
an apartment block
with five apartments each
with two-three bedrooms,
and communal spaces for
training, education, creativity,

Deliciously nutty
delights to perk
up your autumn
If the shorter days and
cooler nights are urging you
to turn on the oven, try these
Nigel Slater recipes making
use of crunchy nuts for added
texture and flavour
Pistachio and lemon cake
Serves 8-10
Ingredients
250g butter
250g caster sugar
100g shelled pistachios
1 lemon
3 eggs
100g ground almonds
1 tsp rosewater
75g plain flour
To decorate
150g icing sugar
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp, chopped pistachios
2 Tbsp crushed crystalised rose petals
A few dried roses (optional)
Method
• Preheat the oven to 150°C fan. Line a
20cm loose-bottomed cake tin with baking
parchment.
• Cream the butter and sugar in a food
mixer until very light and fluffy.
• Process the pistachios to coarse
crumbs using a food processor (you can
chop them by hand if you like). Finely
grate the zest of the lemon.
• Break the eggs into a small bowl.
Beat them with a fork, then add to the
butter and sugar a little at a time with the
mixer still beating. If there is any sign of
curdling, add a little of the flour. Add the
pistachios, ground almonds, lemon zest
and rosewater. Lastly, mix in the flour.
• Transfer the batter into the cake tin,
then bake in the preheated oven for about
45-50 minutes until springy to the touch.
Remove from the oven, leave to settle for
5 minutes then, using a palette knife, ease
the cake from its tin and place on a cooling
rack.
• To make the icing, sieve the icing
sugar into a bowl, stir in the lemon juice
until you have an icing thick enough to
cover the cake and drip down the sides.
Spoon the icing over the cake then scatter
with the pistachios and crystalised
rose petals and, if you wish, a few dried
rosebuds.
Green olive, thyme and pine nut
buns
Makes 9
Ingredients
500g plain flour
1½ tsp fast-acting yeast
½ tsp sea salt
200g natural yoghurt
3 Tbsp olive oil
100ml warm water
250g green olives, stoned
5 bushy sprigs thyme
3 Tbsp pine nuts
To finish
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp, chopped thyme leaves, plus a few
whole sprigs
2 Tbsp pine nuts
Method
• You will need a deep-sided baking tin
measuring 20cm x 20cm with a piece of
baking parchment.
• In a large, warm mixing bowl, mix
the flour, yeast and salt. Put the yoghurt
in a jug, whisk briefly to break it up, pour
in the olive oil and the warm water, and
stir well.
• Combine the yoghurt mixture with
the flour and yeast using your hands or a
wooden spoon. You should end up with a
somewhat sticky dough.
• Roughly chop the olives. Chop the
thyme leaves and add to the olives. In a
dry pan, toast the pine nuts until golden.
(Keep a close watch on them as they start
slowly then burn rather quickly.)
• If you are making the dough by hand,
tip on to a floured board and knead the
olives, thyme and pine nuts into it. If
you prefer, use a food mixer fitted with a
dough hook.
• Continue kneading for a couple of
minutes, adding a little more flour to stop
the dough sticking if necessary, then put
it back in its bowl, cover with a clean,
warm cloth and put it in a warm place.
Leave the dough in peace until it has
risen to almost twice its original size.
• Cut it into 6-8 equal pieces (depending
on how large you like your buns),
then shape each one into a round. Place
them in the baking tin, one in the middle
and the rest round the edge, then return
to the warm place, cover with the cloth
and leave for about 30 minutes, until
nicely risen and nudging one another.
• To finish, mix together the olive oil,
chopped thyme leaves and pine nuts.
• Set the oven at 210°C fan. Bake the
buns for about 20 minutes, until well
risen and lightly golden brown.
• Spoon the pine-nut mixture over
the buns and return to the oven for five
minutes.

Stylish Yaris Cross SUV shades its sibling
TOYOTA’S decision to create
an SUV version of the Yaris, its
smallest car, has been a master
stroke, although naming it the
‘Cross’ less so, but even that hasn’t
stopped it becoming one of the
company’s best selling small
vehicles.
It shares the same well-proven
and engineered chassis, suspension
and powertrain from the
fourth generation Yaris.
The end result is a highly
competent, functional, and stylish
vehicle packed with a full suite of
safety and driver assist technologies.
Practicality, more room and
style make even its higher price a
more desirable vehicle for many
compared to the diminutive fivedoor
Yaris.
Motoring with Bob Nettleton
There is a sizeable difference
between the Yaris hatch and it’s in
favour of the Cross sibling.
Overall, it’s 240mm longer, has
50mm more front overhang and
a whopping 180mm at the rear.
It has an additional extra 30mm
worth of ground clearance and
stands 90mm taller, enabling the
Yaris Cross to stand tall in the
mini urban SUV class.
First step on the Yaris Cross ladder
is the $38,990 GX. From there
it’s a sizeable monetary leap to
the $45,190 GR Sport, and a more
modest $1000 jump into the flagship
Limited. You can personalise
for a further $1000 with a nifty
two-tone paint job.

something cleaner and greener,
the distinctive Yaris Cross makes
a compelling case with super low
CO 2 engine emissions of just 76g/
km. The 1.5-litre three-cylinder
petrol electric hybrid system has a
combined power output of 85kW.
In urban motoring, the hybrid
has amazingly low engine noise
levels. The cabin becomes a cone
of silence when the hybrid system
is running in electric-only mode,
something it regularly does for
long periods on flat urban roads.
City driving is very much the
happy place for this fashionable
little SUV, an environment it was
designed for.
Taking the Cross beyond urban
limits nudges it, and the driver,
ever-so-slightly out of their respective
comfort zones.
Longer open road trips are
doable and the test vehicle was
comfortable enough on a 200-kilometre
roadie. A direct shift CVT
(continuously variable transmission)
is purpose-built to deliver
on its claimed 3.5L/100km fuel
economy.
The cabin has a sophisticated
and comfortable feel and its
390-litre luggage capacity is good,
but not class leading.
While larger than the Yaris
hatch, the cabin still feels snug and
taller back seat passengers will
lament the lack of rear legroom as
they rest their chin on their knees.
This is tolerable for short
around town trips, which to be fair
is what the vehicle is built for, but
it’s not a fun place for the longerlegged
on long journeys.
This is another Toyota model
that benefits from the company’s
acclaimed Safety Sense systems
and advanced driver assistance
functions. They help those behind
the wheel avoid a wide range of
common crash risks using driver
information, early warnings, and,
if needed, automatic braking and
steering intervention.
The ride and handling exemplify
this, proving neat and tidy, hardly
putting a foot out of place. The
suspension is balanced and nimble
and answered the big questions
asked of it over twisty terrain.
The extra height and ground
clearance means more body roll
if you quicken the pace through
tight corners, and is an area where
the lower slung Yaris hatch has a
distinct edge.
The steering could do with more
road feel, although the weighting
is right on point making the test
vehicle easy to park in even the
most confined parking spaces.
