Rest home serves up a 

fruitcake fit for the king 

• By Claire Reid 

A REST home has created a 

special fruitcake to celebrate the 

royal birthday on Monday. 

For King Charles III’s birthday, 

Arvida Rhodes on Cashmere’s 

cook Margaret Hogan enlisted 

resident Thea Artz to help create 

a fruitcake fit for a king – and all 

for a very good cause. 

The king is a well-known fan 

of fruitcake – he chose one for 

his 1981 wedding to the late 

Princess Diana, and then again 

when he married Queen Camilla 

in 2005, as well as at his coronation 

celebration last year – and 

Margaret reckons this cake is a 

real winner. 

She used a recipe belonging to 

a resident that had been passed 

down for generations and had 

always been a success with her 

family. 

The cake, which is a simple 

‘melt and mix’ recipe, is packed 

with fruit and has a generous 

dash of vanilla. 

“You should always be using 

real vanilla extract,” Margaret 

explained. 

“The cake goes very well with 

custard and ice cream.” 

Margaret was helped in the 

kitchen by keen royalist Thea, 

who has a passion for baking and 

keeps up-to-date with royal news 

– something she’s done for years. 

“I’m a royalist – I always have 

been,” Thea said. 

“I think King Charles has

been a brave man, going out and 

working after his recent cancer 

diagnosis. 

“I wish (him) the happiest of 

birthdays and very good health 

for the year ahead.” 

In a sweet move, the kindhearted 

staff and residents at the 

rest home resisted the urge to 

tuck into the cake and have instead 

decided to deliver it to the 

local Cancer Society office for 

the hard-working team to enjoy. 

“It’s a cause that’s close to 

our hearts and something that 

is important to our residents,” 

Margaret said.

Rose winner honouring her heritage 

• By Nina Tapu 

A FATHER’S love for his Irish 

homeland motivated the national 

winner of the Rose of Tralee to 

enter the event. 

Keely O’Grady, 21, was awarded 

the 2024 title in Invercargill on 

Saturday night after years of 

encouragement from her father 

“to stay connected to her Irish 

culture”. 

Surprised by her win, the Canterbury 

representative credited her 

father’s persistence for exploring 

her Irish identity. 

The Rose of Tralee celebrates 

young women of Irish heritage in 

New Zealand. 

“As soon as I turned 18, I was 

messaged by my dad every year to 

enter but the timing’s never been 

quite right because of my university 

studies,” O’Grady said. 

“I finally entered and was inspired 

by my dad and just wanted 

to make him proud of me.” 

O’Grady will complete her 

bachelor of speech and language 

pathology degree from Canterbury 

University while undertaking 

her Rose of Tralee duties. 

She was chosen from 10 other 

hopefuls to represent New Zealand 

at the International Rose 

of Tralee festival held in Tralee, 

Ireland in August. 

The festival was formed in 1959 

and is held annually in Ireland. It 

celebrates women and appoints 

a female ambassador for Irish 

culture and heritage. 

ROSY GLOW: Keely O’Grady, of Canterbury, was awarded the national Rose of Tralee title in 

Invercargill on Saturday. 

“Over there you will have every 

country’s Rose represented and 

it’s a massive celebration of Irish 

culture and Irish heritage. 

“This is an amazing opportunity,” 

she said. 

PHOTO: FACEBOOK 

Her father’s family hailed from 

County Wicklow and she attributed 

a childhood “growing up

festival with other winners

around Irish sport, Irish music, 

and especially Irish dance” to 

them. 

Irish dance had been a huge part 

of her life since she was six. 

“One day my dad showed me a 

video of Riverdance and from then 

on my heart was hooked and I’m 

still Irish dancing at 21.” 

Being chosen to represent New 

Zealand was an honour, and gaining 

“10 new friends that were some 

of the smartest and most talented, 

kind girls that I’ve met in my life” 

made the competition a “meaningful 

experience”, she said. 

O’Grady was thankful for 

being selected and vowed to use 

the opportunity to promote “selfdevelopment 

and confidence” to 

young girls.

We turned to Cameron as we wanted the high profile that we knew would come 

from listing with him. What we didn’t realise prior to dealing with him and his 

amazing team is how geniune he is. Everything happened when it was meant to 

and he held us together when we needed it. I also felt listened to and at no time 

ever did I feel spoken down to, something I know a lot of agents can do. 

Sam, who works as part of his team, was truely amazing and if she ever changes 

her career should consider politics. 

All in all I cannot encourage you enough to consider Cameron when you sell 

your house.

Fruitcake for all 

• From page 1 

Ingredients 

500g sultanas and raisins 

(2 1/2 cups) 

250 ml water (1 cup) 

250 g butter cut into cubes 

385 g sugar (1 3/4 cups) 

260 g plain flour (1 3/4 

cups) sifted 

1 tsp baking powder sifted 

1 tsp vanilla extract 

3 eggs lightly beaten 

Instructions 

1. Preheat oven to 160°C. 

Grease and line a 20 or 

22cm square cake tin. 

2. Place sultanas and 

water in a large saucepan 

and bring to the boil 

over high heat. Boil for 8 

minutes until sultanas are 

plump and most of the 

liquid has been absorbed. 

3. Remove from the 

heat and add the cubes of 

butter. Stir through until all 

the butter is melted. Add 

the sugar and stir in well. 

Set mixture aside to cool 

for 20-30 minutes. If you 

want the mixture to cool 

quickly, place the base of 

the saucepan into a sink 

filled with some iced water. 

4. While the mixture is 

cooling, sift the flour and 

baking powder together in 

a bowl. Once the mixture 

has cooled down, add the 

sifted flour and baking 

powder and stir together 

with a large spoon. Add 

the lightly beaten eggs and 

vanilla extract and continue 

to stir until everything is 

combined and there are 

no flour pockets left in the 

batter. 

5. Pour the batter into the 

prepared baking tin. Bake 

for 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 

hour 25 minutes, or until 

the middle is cooked and 

a skewer inserted into the 

centre of the cake comes 

out clean. You will need 

to cover the top of the 

cake loosely with foil halfway 

through the baking 

time once the top is nice 

and golden (at the 35-45 

minute mark), otherwise 

it will darken too much. 

Once cooked, remove from 

the oven and allow to cool 

in the tin for 15-20 minutes. 

Invert onto a wire cooling 

rack to continue to cool 

completely. 

6. Once cooled, cover 

the cake with cling wrap 

and place in an airtight 

container. Cake will keep 

for five days. This cake can 

also be frozen for up to one 

month – wrap well in cling 

film, then wrap again in 

aluminium foil and place 

in an airtight container or 

sealed glad bag and place 

in the freezer. 

Group show explores 

women at work 

STODDART Cottage in Diamond 

Harbour is celebrating the art 

and work of women throughout 

June, in its major themed group 

exhibition of the year. 

Women’s Work explores the 

way women’s roles in society, and 

as artists, have been defined and 

limited. 

It weaves together work 

from women and non-binary 

artists from a spectrum 

of backgrounds, ages and 

practices, including Scarlett- 

Rose Adamson, Anita 

DeSoto, Raukohe Hallett, 

Turumeke Harrington, Hannah 

Harte, Janna van Hasselt, Sook 

Hwang, Maria Lee, Moana Lee, 

Herbert Stockman and Naomi 

van den Broek. 

The exhibition highlights the 

decorative and applied arts, 

such as textiles, weaving and 

ceramics, which were once were 

separated from conceptions 

of the so-called “high arts” of 

painting and sculpture. 

It aims to be provocative in 

the way the artists approach 

their material and subject 

matter, from embroidery 

depicting emotions spurred 

by exploitation, to a large scale 


painting in the style of the Old 

Masters – a feminist reframing 

of the role of a mythical woman. 

Canterbury University art 

history department senior 

lecturer Dr Rosie Ibbotson will 

explore histories of women’s art 

at 2pm on Saturday (free, no 

booking required). 

• Women’s Work is 

showing until June 30. 

Stoddart Cottage is 

open 10am-4pm Fridays, 

Saturday and Sundays 

and most public holidays, 

including King’s Birthday 

Monday

MP sets up survey on 

SH75 speed limits 

BANKS Peninsula MP Vanessa 

Weenink is surveying her 

constituents on whether speed 

limits on State Highway 75 

should be increased. 

After recent 

reporting on 

the issue by 

Bay Harbour 

News, Weenink 

has received 

increased 

feedback from 

the public which 

has encouraged 

her to seek a clear 

community view before the 

Vanessa 

Weenink 

Government’s speed limit review. 

“It’s something we were 

planning on doing anyway 

closer to the review process, 

but sometimes you have to go 

with the timing of things when 

people’s eyes are on an issue,” she 

said. 

The online survey can be 

accessed through the QR code. 

It asks for views on the speed 

limit from Halswell to Little 

River and from Little River to 

Akaroa. 

“A lot of the feedback I’ve 

had is that some sections of 

road may be safer than others, 

and that we do need to consider 

it part by part. I think that’s

quite sensible.” 

If the survey has a high 

number of responses, Weenink 

will present the results during 

the review process. 

The results will not wholly 

determine Weenink’s position 

on SH75 speed limits, but will 

provide a key reference point for 

her submission.

Enjoying scents and sensibilities 

Nigel Slater finds 

hearty, herby butter 

beans and a frangipane 

tart add fragrance to a 

chilly day 

Butter beans, cannellini 

and cavolo nero 

Serves 2 

Beans in jars are more plump 

and juicy than those in tins, 

but either works well here. It is 

essential to include some of the 

aquafaba – the bottling liquor. 

It adds a creamy quality without 

the need for any dairy products. 

Ingredients 

150g cavolo nero 

200g hispi (pointed) cabbage 

2 plump cloves garlic 

2 Tbsp olive oil 

2 Tbsp dill 

400g butter beans 

250g cannellini beans 

1 lemon 

Method 

• Trim the tough ends of the 

cavolo nero stalks, then place 

the leaves on top of one another, 

roll tightly, then slice them into 

wide shreds, like pappardelle. 

Repeat with the pointed 

cabbage. Have a bowl of iced 

water to hand. 

• Put a pan of water on to 

boil and, when boiling, dunk 

the cavolo nero in, leave for 2 

minutes, then lift it out and 

transfer to the iced water. When 

the water returns to the boil, 

repeat with the cabbage. 

• Peel the garlic, then crush 

to a paste with a good pinch of 

salt – use a pestle and mortar, 

but the flat side of a knife and a 

chopping board works too. 

• In a wide sauté or frying 

pan, warm the oil and garlic 

paste. You don’t want the garlic 

to colour, so stir as it warms and 

softens. Finely chop the dill and 

stir into the garlic. 

• Tip the butter beans and 

cannellini together with their 

liquor into the pan and stir 

to coat them with the oil and 

garlic. Leave over a moderate 

heat, covered by a lid, for a few 

minutes until the beans are hot. 

Finely grate the lemon zest and 

squeeze the juice. 

• Season the beans generously 

with salt and black pepper, then 

stir in the lemon zest and, if you 

wish, a little of the juice. Drain 

the greens thoroughly, stir them 

into the beans and heat through 

briefly before spooning on to 

deep plates. 

Prune, chocolate and 

orange frangipane 

Serves 8 

I have been tweaking the old 

frangipane fillings since I 

made my first in the late 1970s. 

This latest version has barely a 

sprinkling of flour in it and I feel 

is better for it. 

Ingredients 

For the pastry: 

200g plain flour 

90g butter 

1 egg yolk 

1-2 tbsp iced water 

For the filling: 

150g butter 

100g caster sugar 

Finely grated zest of 1 orange 

75g dark chocolate 

2 eggs 

150g ground almonds 

2 Tbsp self-raising flour 

150g, stoned soft prunes 

2-3 Tbsp flaked almonds 

Method 

• You will need a 20cm tart tin 

with a removable base. Make 

the pastry: put the flour and 

butter into a food processor 

and process to fine crumbs. 

(Alternatively, do it by hand, rub 

the butter into the flour with 

your fingertips until it resembles 

breadcrumbs.) Mix in the egg 

yolk, then a little iced water (a 

tablespoon or two will do) and 

mix to a thick, rollable dough. 

• Tip the dough on to a lightly 

floured board and pat into a 

thick disc, wrap it in baking 

parchment, then rest it in the 

fridge for 30 minutes. 

• Set the oven at 190°C and 

place a baking sheet in the oven. 

You will bake the tart on this. 

• Remove the pastry from the 

fridge and place on a floured 

board. Roll it out to roughly 

3mm thick, then lower into the 

tart tin, pushing it gently into 

the corners and up the sides. 

• Trim any overhanging 

pastry, then rest the pastry a 

second time, in the fridge or 

freezer, for 20 minutes. 

• Fill the case with baking 

parchment and baking beans, 

then place on top of a hot baking 

sheet already in the oven. 

• Bake for about 20 minutes, 

then carefully lift out the paper 

and beans. If the pastry isn’t 

dry to the touch, return it to the 

oven for a few minutes, then 

remove and set aside. Turn the 

oven down to 160°C. 

• While the pastry is baking, 

make the filling: put the butter, 

caster sugar and the orange zest 

into the bowl of a food mixer. 

Beat until pale and fluffy. 

• Chop the chocolate into 

small nuggets, no bigger than a 

hazelnut. 

• Beat the eggs in a small bowl, 

then add to the sugar and butter, 

a little at a time (if it shows 

any sign of curdling, drop in a 

couple of tablespoons of flour). 

Introduce the flour and then, 

lastly, the chocolate and the 

ground almonds. 

• Transfer the mixture to 

the tart case. Add the prunes 

without pressing them too 

deeply into the batter. 

• Scatter the flaked almonds 

over the top and bake for an 

hour, maybe a little longer, until 

the filling is golden and lightly 

set. 

Helping Your Cat Live Their Best Life 

Is your athletic kitty bounding around the house from 

benchtop to shelves, leaping onto fences, and scaling 

trees during outdoor adventures? Or are they curled up 

inside, basking by the fire? As winter sets in, it’s easy 

to assume that cats prefer the warmth and comfort of 

indoors. But what if there’s more to their behaviour than 

just a seasonal shift? Your feline friend might be hiding 

some aches and pains that make moving around less 

appealing. 

Arthritis in cats is more common than you might think. 

By age seven, about 30% of cats show signs of arthritis, 

and by age twelve this jumps to 90%. Unlike humans, cats 

rarely display obvious signs of pain. Instead, they exhibit 

subtle changes in behaviour. Here’s what to watch for: 

Early Signs of Arthritis: 

• Reluctance to jump onto countertops, fences, 

or climb stairs 

• Decreased agility, grooming, and activity levels 

• Less inclination to hunt, play, and run 

• Changes in preferred sleeping spots 

• Spending more time sleeping 

Advanced Signs of Arthritis: 

• Inability to jump onto high surfaces and reduced 

overall activity 

• Difficulty grooming, resulting in an unkempt coat, 

especially around the back 

• Irritability when stroked or handled 

• Toileting outside the litter tray or preferring the litter 

tray to going outside 

• Seeking isolated sleeping spots and reduced 

interaction with owners 

Lameness is often not a common sign, as multiple joints 

might be affected, making them equally uncomfortable on 

both sides. 

How Can We Help? 

Managing your cat’s weight and encouraging moderate 

activity are essential, but pain management is crucial. Cats 

are sensitive to many medications, limiting our options. 

Traditionally, anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) like 

meloxicam have been used with good results, but they 

come with potential side effects, especially with long-term 

use. 

A newer treatment, Solensia, is available as a monthly 

injection. This is an antibody that targets and blocks 

nerve-growth factor (NGF), a protein which is involved in 

chronic pain and increases in arthritic joints. 

Whilst nutritional supplements marketed for helping with 

arthritis in pets, may be a helpful additional tool in some 

cases, none of them are a suitable substitute for effective 

pain management. 

At Kōwhai Vet, we aim to improve the quality of life for 

our patients, ensuring you enjoy a happy, healthy pet for 

longer. We know that treating chronic pain with regular 

medications such as meloxicam has a positive impact and 

our cat owners have reported significant improvements 

with Solensia, such as increased activity levels, ease in 

jumping onto beds or couches, more enjoyment of being 

stroked, and better grooming habits. 

If your feline friend isn’t quite themselves, bring them in 

for a check-up. Let’s discuss how we can help them keep 

living their best life.

A trio of quality food stores 

Three neighbouring businesses at Beckenham Central offer the 

ingredients you and your family need to enjoy delicious, healthy 

meals every day. They are a specialist butchery, a fish and 

seafood shop and an organic vegetable shop, and between them 

they supply a wide range of quality foods to inspire creativity in 

the kitchen and satisfaction at the dining table. 

Lisa from Oceans North Seafood, left, 

Charlie from Untamed Earth and Mike 

from Beckenham Butchery in front of 

their Beckenham Central stores. 

Succulent and flavoursome 

As a specialist butchery offering 

locally sourced organic meats, 

Beckenham Butchery takes pride in 

providing its customers with these topquality 

products at the best possible 

prices. The range includes organic 

beef sourced from trustworthy farms 

around Canterbury, organic lamb, 

free-farmed pork and Bostock organic 

chicken. 

As well as being available 

individually, products can also be 

purchased as a selection in meat packs, 

which come in a variety of sizes and 

prices. 

To enhance the flavours of the 

meats and to accompany your dishes, 

Beckenham Butchery stocks a large 

range of condiments, marinades and 

barbeque rubs, and locally sourced 

honey. 

As well as shopping in store, 

customers can order online at 

beckenhambutchery.co.nz, either 

click and collect, or have their order 

delivered – anywhere in the South 

Island. 

Beckenham Butchery also has a 

Facebook page, where news and 

specials are regularly posted 

Fresh from the sea 

The family owned and operated 

business Oceans North Seafood has 

earned a reputation as a top-choice 

wholesaler, supplying premium, 

sustainably sourced seafood to 

restaurants and food service 

establishments across New Zealand. 

In addition, they cater directly to 

discerning Kiwis, who are seeking 

the freshest and most flavourful 

seafood varieties through their online 

marketplace, and most recently 

through the newly opened shop in 

Beckenham Central. 

The new shop has provided Oceans 

North Seafood with the opportunity 

to broaden its range to encompass 

not only specialised seafood, but also 

sought-after items such as cheeses, wild 

game pies, artisan condiments, and 

more. 

This extensive selection adds to 

the offerings of the adjacent organic 

vegetable and butcher shops, all of 

which is very fortunate for local 

residents, and the food aficionados that 

come from around the city to shop at 

Beckenham Central. 

Organic veggies an inspiration 

Untamed Earth at Beckenham 

Central is a veggie shop with a 

difference – it’s a farm and a shop. All 

the vegetables come straight from the 

organic certified growers to the shop, 

so they are always fresh and nutritious. 

The large range includes root 

vegetables such as potatoes and carrots, 

cauliflower, Romanesco cauliflower, an 

attractive vegetable that tastes a bit like 

broccoli, spinach, leeks and more. 

The shop also brings in organically 

certified fruit from around New 

Zealand. Business owner Oliver Platt 

says good-quality produce such as 

this is an inspiration for customers, 

and to inspire them further, there is a 

selection of recipe cards for cooking 

seasonal produce. 

Untamed Earth opened exactly one 

year ago, and since then Oliver has 

seen a growing interest in vegetables 

– even children get excited about 

the bright and vibrant colours of the 

freshly grown produce in this special 

Beckenham shop.

Hybrid S-Cross a pleasing performer 

THESE DAYS, the Suzuki 

S-Cross compact SUV is charting 

a cleaner, greener and more fuelefficient 

course as a hybrid-only 

model. 

Almost two years ago, a 

heavily revised version of the 

S-Cross arrived here. Suzuki had 

done a fine of reinventing and 

modernising a model that had 

been part of their SUV catalogue 

for more than a decade. 

A major overhaul of the styling 

ensured a convincing start in 

getting this model back on the 

radar of compact SUV buyers. 

There was decent dash of 

sophistication added to the visual 

mix with a raised bonnet, and 

hexagonal gloss piano-black grille. 

Engineered in Japan and built 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

in Hungary, the new S-Cross in 

its pre-hybrid days was offered in 

price leading JX trim and more up 

market JLX grades. 

Now, with both feet firmly 

planted in the hybrid camp, the 

range has been trimmed back to 

a couple of generously appointed 

JLX variants, a $43,990 2WD 

with another $3k for the AWD 

provided for this road test. 

The S-Cross scores the same 

hybrid system Suzuki developed 

for its smaller sibling the Vitara. 

This smartly engineered, 

compact hybrid system comprises 

an integrated starter generator, 

engine control module, and an 

auxiliary power module. This uses 

a lithium-ion battery and sensors 

and a DC/DC (48V to 12V) power 

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

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

for money 7; Safety – Five Star ANCAP crash rating. 

Overall points out of 10: 7 

converter. In its hybridised state, 

the system’s combined output is 

95kW of power at 5500rpm and 

235Nm of torque ready to apply its 

low speed heft at 2000-3000rpm. 

Automatic stop/starting saves 

fuel while the lithium-ion battery 

powers all the electrics 

The hybrid’s integrated starter 

generator uses braking energy to 

efficiently recharge the battery. 

In spite of the improvement 

in fuel consumption and less 

emissions, the hybrid turbo is 

energetic enough with good 

low-speed pulling power tuned to 

flourish over our hilly roads and 

debilitating hill climbs. 

It’s smoother and more refined 

than the now departed 1.4-litre 

turbo motor on its own. A quick, 

accurate, and sweet shifting sixspeed 

automatic is an agreeable 

gear-changing companion for this 

hybrid power plant. 

Front seats offer a generous 

929mm of legroom and 814mm in 

the rear – excellent for a smallish 

SUV. 

Up to 440 litres of boot space 

is available with the 60/40 split 

folding rear seats upright. 

The test vehicle has a four 

camera view system linked to 

a nine-inch display, the largest 

ever factory head unit offered 

on a Suzuki passenger car. This 

provides a 360-degree view and 

3D opening view, allowing you to 

check the vehicle surroundings, 

while the fascia runs Android 

Auto, wireless Apple CarPlay, and 

voice recognition. 

The S-Cross features a host 

of ever-vigilant safety tech that 

is constantly working to keep 

you safe, including autonomous 

emergency braking. This assesses 

the risk of a collision with an 

obstacle in front of the vehicle, 

while collision mitigation brake 

assist increases the driver’s 

braking force and automatic 

braking. 

The suspension is fairly lowtech 

affair but does a good job 

and seems well set-up to see off 

most challenges served up by our 

demanding roads, terrain, and 

weather. 

Suzuki has played it safe with 

the suspension tune, opting 

for comfort over outright 

road holding. The handling is 

competent and well balanced, but 

less at ease when pushed with a bit 

of purpose through tight corners. 

However, savvy drivers quickly 

learn this isn’t the vehicle’s happy 

place, and adjust their driving 

accordingly.

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.
