Digging her way to<br />

victory<br />

• By Isabella Adams<br />

“I WON IT for the girls.”<br />

That was the reaction from<br />

Georgia Lyford after she beat out<br />

25 other digger operators at a<br />

region-wide competition.<br />

Georgia Lyford from Schick<br />

Civil Construction Ltd in Middleton<br />

was the only female competitor<br />

at the Canterbury/Westland<br />

regional excavator operator<br />

competition.<br />

Lyford won the experienced<br />

category, and will move on to the<br />

national finals competition in<br />

Feilding in March.<br />

It was Lyford’s third time in<br />

the competition, and she wanted<br />

to redeem herself after not being<br />

satisfied with her performance at<br />

last year’s event.<br />

“I’m only 23 so it will be cool<br />

to go to the finals in Feilding and<br />

prove to other young girls considering<br />

a career in civil construction<br />

that we can do it too,” she said.<br />

The competition included a<br />

range of challenges to test operators’<br />

precision, from slam dunking<br />

a basketball using an excavator’s<br />

bucket, to deftly pouring a cup of<br />

tea using a special attachment on<br />

the end of their excavator’s arm.<br />

It also included more conventional<br />

tests of skill such as truck<br />

loading and traversing obstacles,<br />

as well as theory-based challenges<br />

requiring operators to demonstrate<br />

health and safety knowledge<br />

and awareness of underground<br />

services and on-site hazards.<br />

Organiser James Flower said the<br />

year’s event was a success.<br />

“The weather was perfect, and<br />

the enthusiastic support from<br />

friends, family, and the public<br />

contributed to a lively atmosphere<br />

throughout the day.<br />

“One of the standout challenges<br />

was the ‘egg and spoon’<br />

event, where competitors had to<br />

delicately pick up an egg from a<br />

sandpile with a spoon attached to<br />

their excavator and place it into a<br />

small cup,” Flower said.<br />

“There were certainly moments<br />

that left the audience in stitches, as<br />

a few competitors ended up with<br />

their eggs scrambled.”<br />

Flower said there was a shortage<br />

of excavator operators nationally<br />

and the event aimed to both<br />

celebrate existing operators and<br />

inspire other people to consider<br />

joining the industry.<br />

FOR THE GIRLS: Georgia Lyford, the only female competitor, won the experienced<br />

category at the Canterbury/Westland regional excavator operation competition. Tasks like<br />

the egg and spoon challenge (above) were part of a range of skills competitors needed to<br />

demonstrate.<br />

Not-for-profit developer buys<br />

Sandilands housing complex<br />

THE CITY council has sold<br />

the old Sandilands community<br />

housing complex in Linwood<br />

to a not-for-profit developer.<br />

The council started an<br />

expression of interest process<br />

to identify potential buyers<br />

for the property, with a focus<br />

on organisations who would<br />

include social or affordable<br />

homes in their development<br />

plans for the property.<br />

Kāinga Maha, which is part<br />

of Home Foundation Charitable<br />

Trust, will acquire 18 of the<br />

22 sites, while Ōtautahi Community<br />

Housing Trust will<br />

take over the remaining four.<br />

The existing 22 units (44<br />

bedrooms) will be replaced by<br />

an estimated total of 51 units<br />

(98 bedrooms), significantly<br />

increasing the housing capacity.<br />

The properties, located on<br />

Griffiths Ave, Nicholas Drive,<br />

and Coulter St, were closed<br />

progressively from late 2016<br />

due to the presence of asbestos.<br />

After remediation programme<br />

on two units proved<br />

uneconomical, the council<br />

decided in 2023 to sell the<br />

properties to organisations<br />

committed to building social<br />

or affordable housing.<br />

Mayor Phil Mauger said the<br />

AFFORDABLE: The city council will sell the former Sandilands community housing<br />

complex to Kāinga Maha and Ōtautahi Community Housing Trust.<br />

PHOTO: NEWSLINE<br />

agreement is a win-win for the<br />

council and community.<br />

“We want our city to be a<br />

place where people have access<br />

to affordable, warm and secure<br />

housing and we also know that<br />

we can’t do this on our own.<br />

“Both KM and ŌCHT<br />

have a proven track record of<br />

award-winning developments<br />

that deliver positive housing<br />

outcomes for our community.<br />

“Our goal for these sites was<br />

to see them redeveloped in a<br />

similar way to their historical<br />

use and this ticks all the boxes.<br />

“The redevelopment will<br />

have a mixture of tenure<br />

types, including social rental,<br />

affordable rental, affordable<br />

ownership, and market housing.<br />

“I’m really pleased we’ve<br />

been able to make the land<br />

available for this purpose.”<br />

The planned units will range<br />

from one to four bedrooms,<br />

catering to diverse housing<br />

needs.<br />

The council is currently<br />

finalising its commercial<br />

negotiations with the two<br />

organisations.<br />

The Strategists Churchill, Stalin, Roosevelt, Mussolini and Hitler<br />

– How War Made Them, And How They Made War<br />

by Phillips Payson O’Brien<br />

A compelling revisionist history which explores the impact of WW1 on the mindsets and<br />

strategic decisions of WW2’s most important leaders If we want to understand military<br />

strategy, we must first understand the strategist. In THE STRATEGISTS, Professor Phillips<br />

Payson O’Brien delves deep into the psyches of five of the most impactful leaders in<br />

modern history - Churchill, Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini and Roosevelt - and their respective<br />

strategic methods and choices. The implications of the power of leaders remain with us<br />

to this day - to truly understand what is happening in Ukraine, for example, requires us<br />

to know what has influenced the leaders involved.<br />

Enviro Master helping<br />

Cantabrians<br />

Enviro Master has been helping<br />

Cantabrians get the balance right when<br />

it comes to choosing the perfect heat<br />

pump or air conditioning system for<br />

their home or office since 2002.<br />

Their team of expert sales people,<br />

qualified electricians, heating and<br />

refrigeration engineers, help to supply<br />

and install one of Christchurch’s<br />

widest range of heat pumps including<br />

Panasonic, Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin<br />

and Fujitsu. Because they have no<br />

affiliation with any one brand, you can<br />

be assured their advice on the benefits<br />

and differences between each product is<br />

unbiased.<br />

They will recommend the most<br />

energy-efficient and cost-effective system<br />

for your individual situation, and will<br />

have you regulating the heat in your<br />

home or office in no time.<br />

Nowadays, customers are often<br />

wanting whole home solutions to be<br />

able to maintain even temperatures<br />

throughout the home both in Winter<br />

and Summer. This can be achieved by<br />

using ducted systems or multi systems<br />

and Enviro Master are experts in<br />

designing, installing and commissioning<br />

these systems.<br />

Help is currently available with a<br />

government subsidy offering 80 per cent<br />

of the cost of a new heat pump up to<br />

$3000 including GST.<br />

The subsidy is part of the Warmer<br />

Kiwi Homes initiative and is available<br />

to Home owner/occupiers with a<br />

Community Services Card, a SuperGold<br />

combo card or who live in a low-income<br />

area as determined by deciles 8-<strong>10</strong> on<br />

the New Zealand Deprivation Index.<br />

advertorial<br />

The applicant’s home must also have<br />

been built before 2008, have insulation<br />

up to code (insulation subsidies also<br />

available) and have no fixed heating<br />

in any living area, such as an existing<br />

operational heat pump or fireplace.<br />

To ensure you choose the right system<br />

for your home or business, one of Enviro<br />

Master’s experts will visit to assess your<br />

individual situation, offer advice and<br />

answer any questions you may have.<br />

This consultation is at no cost to the<br />

customer and is always provided before a<br />

heat pump is installed.<br />

Anyone wondering about their<br />

eligibility for a subsidised heat pump are<br />

welcome to get in touch for details and<br />

help with the application process.<br />

“A local team for local people”<br />

Play a way to keep<br />

Dutch heritage alive<br />

• By Isabella Adams<br />

A DUTCH drama group is on cue<br />

for a successful run of its annual play<br />

performance.<br />

The Toenail Culture Ale drama group<br />

formed in 2001 and performs its plays in<br />

Dutch.<br />

Next week, they will be performing<br />

Marathon, a comedy drama adapted from<br />

the 2012 Dutch movie De Marathon.<br />

The play follows four women who are<br />

trying to save their car garage by running a<br />

marathon.<br />

The group currently has <strong>10</strong> members, all<br />

of whom where born in the Netherlands.<br />

Member Hank Steffors said the group<br />

began as a way to give Dutch immigrants<br />

an opportunity to perform in their native<br />

language.<br />

“We are really cultural. Even the pieces<br />

we perform, we get them from Holland.<br />

“We like to perform still because it’s important<br />

to keep your Dutch heritage intact.”<br />

Stoffers said the group selects plays written<br />

in the Netherlands, and re-works them<br />

to fit the demographics of the group at that<br />

point in time.<br />

Most of the group is female, with Stoffers<br />

being the only male member.<br />

De Marathon revolves around a group<br />

of four men, so some parts of the plot and<br />

characters have been re-worked due to the<br />

group’s gender imbalance.<br />

The play has been written by group member<br />

Annekatrien Verbraak.<br />

Due to the lack of male actors, Stoffers<br />

will be playing three male characters, and<br />

HARD WORK: The group have been<br />

preparing for the show since February.<br />

stand-in actor Vincent Nydam will play the<br />

remaining two men.<br />

The group uses the Dutch-owned<br />

Everglades Golf Club in Ouruhia as its<br />

home base, and Stoffers built the stage they<br />

perform and practice on.<br />

The group have been preparing Marathon<br />

since February, and will perform three<br />

shows from <strong>October</strong> 18-20.<br />

Stoffers said the group is always looking<br />

for more members, particularly in the<br />

younger demographic.<br />

“I think it’s important we keep this going,<br />

but we need to have some young people to<br />

fall in love with drama productions.<br />

“It’s a very good thing to keep up your<br />

language, and if you want to learn the<br />

Dutch language then this is quite a good<br />

pathway for young people to keep their<br />

heritage.”<br />

Enjoy the BEST<br />

of city’s active heritage<br />

IF YOU’VE got interesting old photos<br />

tucked away in your cupboard, left on a<br />

digital camera SD card or stashed on your<br />

phone – now’s the time to dig them out.<br />

The annual Christchurch City Libraries’<br />

Photo Hunt is under way and will run<br />

until <strong>October</strong> 31.<br />

The event aims to digitally gather<br />

photographs from across the community<br />

alongside the Christchurch Heritage<br />

Festival which opens on Saturday.<br />

This year’s theme is Active Heritage –<br />

Sport, Recreation and Leisure.<br />

Said city council head of libraries and<br />

information Carolyn Robertson: “The<br />

photo hunt gives people the chance to<br />

share some of their precious memories<br />

and highlight key moments in our city’s<br />

history, each photo comes with its own<br />

unique story.<br />

“We’ve held the event every year<br />

since 2008 and it’s a wonderful way to<br />

help with our goal of creating a photographic<br />

archive of the life and times of<br />

Ōtautahi-Christchurch and Te Pātaka o<br />

Rākaihautū-Banks Peninsula.”<br />

The 2023 overall winner New Beginnings<br />

in NZ features a sun-drenched Dutch<br />

migrant leaning against a doorframe in<br />

1950s Christchurch.<br />

Said the judges: “This well composed<br />

photograph gives us an insight into the<br />

life of a Dutch migrant who has arrived<br />

in 1950s Christchurch. After having lived<br />

through the horrors of the Second World<br />

War, she looks relaxed and happy while<br />

standing casually in the doorframe holding<br />

a cigarette in her hand.<br />

“The presence of the bicycle, a common<br />

form of transport in both the Netherlands<br />

and Christchurch in the 1950s, shows that<br />

she is maintaining a connection to her<br />

former life while learning to live in a new<br />

country.”<br />

Submitted photos will be highlighted on<br />

the Discovery Wall at Tūranga, the mobile<br />

Discovery Wall, as well as on the digital<br />

heritage repository Canterbury Stories.<br />

Centuries-old folk remedy<br />

supports good health!<br />

A fermented liquid health tonic offers an<br />

array of powerful health benefits. It is none<br />

other than the popular apple cider vinegar<br />

or ACV. Since the time of Hippocrates –<br />

the “Father of Medicine” – ACV has been<br />

renowned for its curative properties.<br />

In his famous book “ARTHRITIS & FOLK<br />

MEDICINE,” DR. D.C. Jarvis reports how<br />

he found that Vermonters who regularly<br />

consumed ACV & Honey had excellent<br />

health, with many putting in a vigorous day’s<br />

work on the farm even when well into their<br />

eighties. Jarvis also noted the effects of ACV<br />

& H on arthritis to be remarkable, with many<br />

patients reporting almost total relief after<br />

taking a course of the mixture. Dr. Jarvis<br />

surmised that the acid and potassium in cider<br />

vinegar counteracted calcium deposits and<br />

helped the body control calcium use. Jarvis<br />

also noted that Vermonters who consumed<br />

ACV & H around mealtime had excellent<br />

blood pressure and circulation. He found<br />

that protein foods thickened the blood and<br />

vinegar thinned it. As the blood thickens, it<br />

cannot pass easily through the blood vessels<br />

and capillaries. This poor blood flow would<br />

reduce cellular health by limiting nutrients to<br />

the cells and eliminating waste from the cells.<br />

The body naturally increases blood pressure<br />

to prevent cellular damage, which puts more<br />

stress on the blood vessels, organs, and the<br />

heart. Having ACV & H with meals will help<br />

avoid protein-raising blood pressure. It also<br />

contributes to a feeling of greater well-being<br />

because the thinner blood circulates quickly<br />

& more easily through the blood vessels. Dr.<br />

Jarvis found regular consumption of CV & H<br />

to be an excellent health tonic with numerous<br />

health attributes.<br />

ACV is highly nutritious as it contains all<br />

the goodness of the apple in a form that is<br />

readily accepted by the body. Good health<br />

starts with good digestion and assimilation<br />

of nutrients. ACV taken before food will<br />

stimulate and promote healthy digestion<br />

and assimilation of vital nutrients for good<br />

health. A well-functioning digestive system<br />

helps prevent disease by neutralising toxic<br />

substances that enter the body.<br />

It is important to note that not all ACV is<br />

produced traditionally, and results are likely<br />

to prove disappointing with some other cider<br />

vinegar.<br />

Marshall’s Premium ACV & ACV with<br />

20% Manuka Honey, a Canterbury product,<br />

is produced traditionally from organic<br />

whole apples. It is double strength, ensuring<br />

you can use less. This unique product is<br />

recommended for its traditional production<br />

and double strength, offering a unique health<br />

tonic that stands out.<br />

Hearty fare with new season flavours<br />

Spring sunshine and fat<br />

bunches of asparagus<br />

are here to lift our<br />

spirits, but these early<br />

spring days often end<br />

with a chill and the<br />

need for a ‘proper<br />

dinner’, writes Nigel<br />

Slater<br />

Asparagus with<br />

wild garlic hollandaise<br />

When I first started cooking,<br />

hollandaise carried a certain<br />

terror. A fear that vanished once<br />

I cottoned on that all will be well<br />

as long as you add the butter<br />

slowly, drop-by-drop at first, and<br />

that the sauce mustn’t get too<br />

hot.<br />

Ingredients<br />

Serves 2 as a light lunch<br />

400g asparagus<br />

4 slices sourdough bread or<br />

focaccia<br />

For the hollandaise:<br />

3 egg yolks<br />

2tsp white wine vinegar<br />

200g melted butter<br />

50g wild garlic leaves<br />

a squeeze of lemon juice<br />

Method<br />

• To make the hollandaise<br />

sauce, put a pan of water on to<br />

boil and find a heatproof glass<br />

or china bowl that will fit neatly<br />

into it without touching the<br />

water. Drop in the egg yolks and<br />

vinegar. Whisk in the melted<br />

butter, very slowly at first, then in<br />

an intermittent stream, whisking<br />

all the time until you have a<br />

thick, creamy sauce.<br />

• Finely chop the garlic leaves<br />

and stir into the sauce, along<br />

with the lemon. Remove the<br />

pan from the heat, but leave the<br />

bowl over the water. Whisk from<br />

time to time to prevent it from<br />

separating.<br />

• For the asparagus, bring a<br />

large pot of water to the boil.<br />

Trim the asparagus, removing<br />

any dry ends.<br />

• Lower in the asparagus and<br />

leave to cook for 5-7 minutes,<br />

depending on the thickness of<br />

the spears. I like to cook them<br />

until they are just tender enough<br />

to bend. Remove from the water<br />

with a draining spoon or kitchen<br />

tongs (tipping into a colander<br />

may damage the fragile tips),<br />

then let them drain.<br />

• Toast the slices of bread<br />

lightly, then place a spoonful<br />

of sauce on each. Divide the<br />

asparagus between them, then<br />

spoon over some of the sauce<br />

and serve any extra at the side.<br />

Lamb with rose harissa<br />

and apricots<br />

Like many such casseroles, this<br />

is something of a keeper and will<br />

come to no harm if kept in the<br />

fridge for a couple of days.<br />

Ingredients<br />

Serves 4<br />

2 tsp ground cinnamon<br />

2 tsp ground cumin<br />

2 tsp ground turmeric<br />

1 tsp hot paprika<br />

2 tbsp olive oil<br />

1kg diced lamb shoulder<br />

2 medium onions<br />

4 garlic cloves<br />

250g dried apricots<br />

60g sultanas<br />

2 tbsp honey<br />

750ml stock<br />

2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes<br />

2 tbsp rose harissa<br />

1 lemon<br />

Method<br />

• Put the ground spices –<br />

cinnamon, cumin, turmeric,<br />

paprika – into a mixing bowl, add<br />

the lamb, toss thoroughly and set<br />

aside for a couple of hours. If it’s<br />

an option to leave overnight, that<br />

would be even better.<br />

• Set the oven at 180C. Warm<br />

the oil in a deep, heavy-based<br />

casserole dish over a moderate to<br />

high heat, then add the lamb and<br />

fry until lightly browned, stirring<br />

and turning the meat from time<br />

to time. Take care not to let the<br />

spices burn.<br />

• While the meat is frying, peel<br />

and roughly chop the onions.<br />

Lift the meat out with a draining<br />

spoon and set aside, then add the<br />

onions to the pan (with a little<br />

more oil if necessary) and let them<br />

cook for a good <strong>10</strong>-15 minutes,<br />

stirring regularly over a moderate<br />

heat. Peel and thinly slice the<br />

garlic, then add to the onions.<br />

• Halve and stone the apricots,<br />

if they have stones. Add the<br />

sultanas, honey, stock, tomatoes<br />

and apricots and bring to the boil.<br />

Lower the heat, add the browned<br />

meat and cover with a lid.<br />

• Transfer the casserole to the<br />

oven and cook for 2 hours till the<br />

meat is tender, but not soft.<br />

• Stir in the rose harissa and the<br />

juice of half the lemon; taste and<br />

adjust with more lemon, harissa<br />

and salt if you wish.<br />
