FLAMBOYANT: Marc Johnson, Natasha Johnson and Stacey Brett got dressed up for the Labyrinth Masquerade Ball which was held at Lyttelton’s Wunderbar on June 20. The ball was organised by the Christchurch Faerie Circle with the Wizard among the 120 people who attended the sold-out event, inspired by the 1986 movie Labyrinth. • More photos, pages 6 and 7

In the spirit

The Redcliffs School board of trustees made another move yesterday in its battle to save the school, challenging claims the site is dangerous.

The board presented the Ministry of Education with its 50-page submission yesterday, which included a report by a geotechnical expert.

More than 1000 submissions opposing the closure of the school have already been sent to the ministry.

The possible closure was an-nounced in March, due to con-cerns over rockfalls in the area.

Submissions on the proposal

close today.The school has been tempo-

rarily based at the Van Asch Deaf Education Centre in Sum-ner since 2011 because of rock-fall from the earthquakes.

A rock bund was installed be-tween the school and the cliffs after the September 2010 earth-quake, and it caught most of the rocks that fell during the Febru-ary 2011.

Extra fencing and barriers were put up, but due to after-shocks causing several rockfalls, the decision was made to relo-cate the school.

The closure was proposed be-

cause of the potential for pupils’ education to be disrupted by rockfalls in the future.

But school board of trust-ees spokesman Mark Robberds said the geotechnical report the school commissioned showed that was extremely unlikely.

“With the proposed mitiga-tions in place, the school would face less risk of disruption from rockfall than the risk encoun-tered by many other schools across New Zealand.”

At the time of the proposal, Education Minister Hekia Para-ta said there were ways to make the site safe in the short-term.

“However, any plan for the school would also need to take into account future rockfalls that could damage the embankment or build up behind the embank-ment. Future rockfalls could lead to the school having to re-locate for periods of time while repairs are carried out, or while a reassessment of the site’s vi-ability for schooling takes place. Ongoing disruption to students’ education is a real possibility.”

Once submissions close, an interim decision will be made and time allowed for further consultation before a final deci-sion is made.

Air quality monitoring in Lyttel-ton is likely to begin in October, with locations for the station currently being looked at.

Environment Canterbury agreed to carry out air quality monitoring in the township after concerns were raised by the Lyttelton-Mt Herbert Com-munity Board.

It will monitor the particle pollution in the area for one year to see if it meets the na-tional standards and will also measure a range of toxic gases in diesel exhaust fumes.

ECan commissioner David Bedford, air portfolio lead Na-deine Dommisse and monitor-ing officer Nathan Cross carried

out site visits in Lyttelton last month, and updated the com-munity board on the progress.

They visited a number of sites along Norwich Quay.

Ms Dommisse said there would be one temporary moni-toring site and it was likely to begin in October.

“The focus at the moment is on determining the best loca-tion for the temporary monitor-ing site.

“The details of the time frame for monitoring are still to be finalised but the monitoring will have an investigative focus and so will be for up to 12 months.

“The monitoring has been commissioned in response to community concerns and so will be specifically focused on providing information to ad-

dress these concerns.”Community board chairwom-

an Paula Smith said the board suggested the corner of Nor-wich Quay and Oxford St was a good location to monitor.

“There’s quite a few people living there.”

Air quality was last monitored in Lyttelton in 2003 and the four sites chosen were in residential areas and not where diesel concen-trations were likely to be highest.

The number of pollution sources in a close proximity were a concern for the com-munity board, prompting the request for action.

Those sources included the Lyttelton tunnel ventilation system, diesel locomotives, vessels entering and leaving port, moored vessels, machines

loading and unloading indus-trial sources and an increasing number of freight trucks.

New Zealand Transport Agency is also monitoring air quality in and around the Lyttel-ton tunnel.

Highway manager Colin Knaggs said monitoring within the tunnel and approaches started in April as part of a routine assessment undertaken for all tunnels on the highway network.

“This monitoring is still under way and we don’t expect the re-sults to be available for another few months.”

Ms Smith did not know if there was a pollution prob-lem, but monitoring needed to be carried out to determine whether there was.

Sites sought for air quality monitoring

The possibility of retaining some car parks outside Ferrymead businesses which were removed without consultation last year will be decided today.

The city council extended no stopping restrictions on the southern side of Ferry Rd op-posite Waterman Pl for a further 98m in July last year, without carrying out consultation.

Business owners were angry they had no say on the changes

and said it took away customer parking.

The Hagley-Ferrymead Com-munity board was asked to approve the changes at its last meeting, even though they had already been made, and business owners had the opportunity to speak.

Gary Harris, who owns a hairdressing supplies company on Ferry Rd, went along to voice his concerns.

He was happy to compromise and suggested removing part of the restrictions outside the businesses

to retain two or three parks.The board did not approve

the changes and requested city council staff look at retaining two parks and report back at today’s board meeting.

Last year, Stronger Christ-church Infrastructure Rebuild Team was repairing the road and asked the city council to urgently provide a plan for the road markings.

A right turn bay into Waterman Pl in the painted median island was installed and the no stopping restrictions

were extended.Mr Harris said it was good to

have the chance to speak at the meeting.

“I got a good hearing.”He said nothing was going to

change outside his business, but if parks could be retained some-where else it would be better than the current situation.

“It was a difficult one to make everyone happy.

“If we can get two or three extra car parks I can live with that. I guess I’ll have to live with it if we don’t too.”

The city council has had to apologise to Akaroa Museum staff after a plan outlining the facility’s future was full of inaccuracies.

The plan is now being com-pletely re-written and museum staff have been actively involved this time.

The Friends of Akaroa Mu-seum group and its advisory committee did not believe the original Long Term Plan docu-ment reflected the role the mu-

seum plays in the community.It said the museum attracted

largely tourist visitors over the summer.

But the committee said al-though there are a lot of tourists, 50 per cent of its visitors were New Zealanders, with 25 per cent being Christchurch residents.

It also said the museum was fully funded by the city council, but the facility generates revenue from donations, grants and retail activity as well.

It also stated it made “good

sense” to ask Canterbury Museum to manage the community facility, but the buildings needed to be renovated beforehand.

But committee members said it would not make sense to re-move a well-functioning cultural facility from the city council and transfer it to a non-council organ-isation.

The committee was also frus-trated that it, the Akaroa-Wairewa Community Board and the com-munity had not been consulted on the plan.

Community board chair-woman Pam Richardson said the committee had made a submis-sion on the plan and it was being reviewed.

She said there were no issues with management since sending in the submission.

Friends of the Akaroa Museum chairman David Miller said the city council received the submis-sion graciously and had apolo-gised for the blunder.

“It’s a very satisfactory out-come.”

SUCCESS: Cold and foggy weather did not deter hauls of people coming out to London St to enjoy the street party which was part of the Lyttelton Festival of Lights. Hundreds of people braved the cold to revel at the annual street party which had mulled wine, performers, music and fireworks. The festival ran from June 13-20 with a number of events held throughout the week.

Council sorry over museum mistakes

Cold weather does not stop party fun

Walking tracks supportedThe city council has supported the ‘Spine of the Lizard’ network of Banks Peninsula walking tracks in the Long Term Plan. Last week city councillors voted to get behind the project which will see the develop-ment of the network of trails link-ing valley communities and the Summit Walkway from Gebbies Pass to Hilltop into a recreational asset.

Key local projectThe Lyttelton-Mt Herbert Commu-nity Board will decide today wheth-er to nominate Project Lyttelton as a key local project to the metro-politan strengthening communities fund for 2015/16. City council staff have recommended the community board nominate the organisation for $14,550 of funding for the work it does in the community.

Grant for hall upgradeDiamond Harbour Community Association has been granted $3317 from the Lyttelton-Mt Herbert Community Board’s discretion-ary response fund. The money will be used to buy a new dishwasher as part of the Diamond Harbour Community Hall upgrade.

Lego contest offThe Ferrymead Rotary Club will not hold its annual Rotary Lego competition this year. The club lost its major fundraiser, emptying rub-bish bins at Ellerslie Flower Show, and is unable to do its regular proj-ects. In spite of not running this year, the club intends to run the event again in July 2016 and will look for sponsorship.

Our People Lisa Brignull

Running a 42km marathon is challenging enough for most people but for Lisa Brignull she competes in ultramarathons includ-ing the 88km Comrades Marathon in South Africa last month. She finished in just under eight hours to be the 34th woman across the line. Kyle Knowles asked her all about it

First things first, what is an ultramarathon?

An ultra is anything over the normal marathon distance. Anything over 42 km is an ultra.

Why did you get into ultra-marathon running?

I am originally from South Africa and when I moved to the United Kingdom 18 years ago I was always asked if I was from South Africa and that I must have done the Comrades Marathon. So in 2003 I decided to run Comrades which changes direction each year. In 2003 I did the down run and I always made it my mission to do the up run which was this year.

Which one was harder?Well back then that was my first

ultramarathon so I found that one

harder. This time I knew what to expect.

And you had an amazing race.Yes I wanted to do it in less than

eight hours and then when we looked at previous year’s results and thought maybe I could come in the top 50. I was quite happy I was under eight hours. I finished 720th out of 17,423 runners and ninth in my age category (40-49 years).

Was the climate something you had to adjust to?

Absolutely I had factored that into my training and I tried to run in warm weather with more than one layer so I was more use to running in the heat. Right from the start of the race it was 18 deg C at 5.30am so I made sure I was well hydrated throughout the race. I would pour water over my head and back at every water station. It

got to 32 deg C during the middle of the day.

How long is Comrades?The official distance is 88km.How do you keep running for

such a long time?What I did in this race and most

races whether it is 15km or 42km or anything, I set myself little goals and never start without a plan in place. I am a very organised person at the best of times so I

do each stage individually and accomplish each part of the race bit by bit. At that distance it ends up being a mind game. Every morning I run a 17km circuit so I set my self little goals and make them relevant.

How many ultramarathons have you done?

I’m not really one that counts them. I’ve done the Kepler Challenge five times in Te Anau. When I lived in London I did the London Marathon about eight times. I did the London 2 Brighton Challenge three times too. I was worried you’d ask me this but maybe I’ve done 20, then maybe another 50 marathons on top of that. I’m 41 and have been running pretty much all my life so it is hard to know an exact number.

What keeps you going?I think what’s really good is

with running endurance sports is they say you almost get better and peak when you’re in your 40s because your muscles get used to it. I did a stint of cycling and found that difficult but I never get that in ultras and marathons. I really enjoy it and it is for my sanity more than anything else. My husband likes throwing me out the house to go for a run to clear my head, which it does.

SUCCESS: Lisa Brignull crosses the finish line in the Comrades Marathon in just under eight hours.

What was your training like for such a long race?

My training for this race was very different to what I had done before. I was quite fortunate actu-ally, in February I went to South Africa because my mum was ill and ended up meeting Comrades coaching guru Ivor Williams who saw me running and he ended up taking me on a wee project. He has coached a lot of Comrades runners and I was worried I wouldn’t meet his criteria. He got me training at a faster intensity and instead of running hundreds of kilometres a week I would do 30km runs a week at a higher intensity and a lot faster than race day. Ivor talked about muscles talking to each other which was a whole different approach to what I normally do. I was still running 130km a week but doing it a lot quicker. It was quite different to what I had done previously but it worked. Most of my training is generally done in the morning; with a young family I try get it done before anyone notices I am even gone.

What’s next?My next event will be the Auck-

land Marathon in November.Do you see yourself running

Comrades again?Absolutely, I would love to go

back and do Comrades again and get a silver medal which means you

finish under 7hr 30min. They give you different medals for different times. I got a Bill Rowan medal which is for finishers between 7hr 30min and nine hours. I’d like to get a silver. Ivor’s convinced me I can do it.

How much does it cost to run the Comrades?

That’s the funny thing, interna-

tional entrants are $210 but for a local it would cost $20. You do get a different colour number, a blue one as an international runner and you get into special international areas and tents.

How did you recover from the race?

To be honest I recovered really well. I was able to do an 18km

walk with the family two days after Comrades and pretty much back in to the swing of things three days later but other people say they suf-fer for three weeks.

What do you do to recuperate?For me I just like to keep my

body ticking over with walks and gentle running. I just run without looking at the watch and enjoy it. Running for me is my sanity.

You said you were from South Africa?

Yes, I left South Africa 18 years ago, then I was in the United Kingdom for seven years. Then I moved to New Zealand to follow my husband, Lee. We decided Christchurch would be the best place to live which is a bit less crazy than London.

What does an ultramarathon-er’s diet look like?

I watch what I eat. No junk food touches my mouth and I just stick to a healthy diet. After each run I replenish what I’ve lost each day. I’ll have a smoothie with banana, egg and seeds.

You have always lived in Mt Pleasant?

Basically. My husband lived in Kaiapoi and when I moved to Christchurch I met a lot of running people and got to run in different places and the place I loved the most was the hills by Mt Pleasant. So I said to Lee if I moved across

the world, you can move across town for me, so we found a place and I love it.

What do you do for a job?Before having children I was a

travel agent, that brought me to Christchurch because I was able to get a job here but I have been a full-time mum lately and now I am doing some teacher-aid work at Mt Pleasant School.

You have children?Yes, eight-year-old Cara and one

son Chris, who is five. They were my key at Comrades. They followed me around the 88km circuit.

You have always run for the Sumner Running Club too?

I actually run for the Anglican running club when I first arrived but have been running for Sumner for five years.

You are involved with organis-ing a big race aren’t you?

Yes the Boulder Bay classic. We’re just busy preparing details but it is going to happen on November 1. It will be at Taylors Mistake and be a 10km trail race. More information is at www.boulderbayclassic.com.

What is your favourite holiday spot?

A marathon somewhere. In terms of cities, the New York mara-thon would be my best, that was a good holiday. Otherwise, Durban which has the site of the finish line of the Comrades.

a way to stay sane

SUPPORT: Brignull with her husband, Lee, and two children Cara and Chris who followed her around the Durban course.

PLEASE SIR: Rahui Lee played Oliver Twist in van Asch Deaf Education Centre’s first production since the earthquakes last week. It was performed in New Zealand Sign Language with voiced interpretation. Students from all four of the van Asch satellite classes; Sumner, Wharenui, Hillmorton High School and Hagley Community College were involved, with the students ranging in age from six to 21.

Progress is finally being made into the rebuild and, more importantly, regrowth of Lyttelton.

New and exciting public spaces have seemingly constantly been pop-ping up; first-class restaurants and groovy sidewalk cafes are in the mix too for the port side town.

Lyttelton Community House manager Christine Wilson was very happy with the progress so far.

“Now we (Lyttelton) are really starting to move ahead of where we were pre-earthquakes; and with that come a lot of positives. The swim-ming pool is repaired, the rec cen-tre is on its way, and Albion Square looks great too,” she said.

Albion Square, the newest addi-tion to the town centre, is vibrant and colourful, just like the commu-nity; and is a great place to meet peo-ple, or simply go for an early morn-ing coffee with friends.

Lyttelton Information Centre chairwoman Wendy Everingham re-members back to the ‘old’ Lyttelton.

“(the land that is now) Albion Square became where everyone gathered after the earthquakes ... it’s so good for the Lyttelton community to now have an actual town square,” she said.

Sixth-generation Lytteltonian Mrs Wilson looks forward for Albion Square.

“It’s turned into a great place for the festival of lights, the Matariki celebrations ... the farmers’ market, a place for school kids to perform; and it all seems way more accessible than previously thought.”

Mrs Everingham’s initial attrac-tion to the town, strangely, was its similarity to Australia.

“We’ve been here since 2003; it felt quirky – it has an arty feel to it, like Melbourne. We were looking for something similar and Lyttelton felt

right.”Mrs Everingham’s role in the re-

build is in her words “a hub for social connection,” chair of the Informa-tion Centre, co-ordinating the time bank and assisted in the creation of the local newspaper, the Lyttelton Review.

Outreach manager of the Com-munity House, Kathy Bessant was upbeat about the fresh start Lyttelton has been handed.

“We lost everything in the earth-quakes. But now the school is thriv-ing, full of new blood, new ideas; the regrowth is happening, and we’re adding to the existing community.”

Also contributing to the rebuild through social connections is Proj-ect Lyttelton, a non-profit organisa-tion committed to building a con-nected community, who “specialise in building social capacity and con-nections.”

Anne Jaiswal spoke on behalf of Project Lyttelton, saying there’s still the ‘old’ attractions in the ‘new’ Lyttelton.

“It’s definitely the sense of com-munity (that brings people here). It’s the same with observers and

new people. (Lyttelton) has a sense of warmth, with social connections everywhere. It’s the unique culture and identity we have . . . it takes me half an hour to walk down the main street, and it’s not a big main street; it’s just because I stop every few min-utes to chat with someone.”

It’s that same culture and identity that led Wendy Everingham to buy shares in Harbour Co-Op, a com-munity owned produce store.

“Nearly 200 of us own Harbour Co-Op, which used to be part of Piko (Wholefoods); they needed the money so they sold it to the com-

munity. It was a creative result out of adversity.”

Project Lyttelton also have a time bank, which is a way of trading skills in a community. Instead of money, people trade ‘time credits’ to pay for jobs they need doing, and earn them by completing someone’s task.

Mrs Jaiswal commented on the time bank.

“The two sections are offers and wanted. If people need help with cutting a tree, or help with the gar-den, or driving lessons they’ll list it as wanted. If they can offer, if we have people going overseas, that’s somewhere for someone to stay, or offer items in their house they won’t need.”

The Garage Sale is also ran by Proj-ect Lyttelton. This is where donated goods are resold to loving homes; as their website states:

“. . . every penny of the money goes directly to support community groups in the Lyttelton Harbour.”

Although, it does seem there are still those in the community that aren’t coping, even with everything that’s going on around them; and the combined efforts of Project Lyttelton and the Community House.

Said Christine Wilson: “There is still a lot of people struggling here . . . a lot of stress is still around.”

Kathy Bessant also believes Lyttel-ton’s residents need to help each oth-er, now more than ever.

“We’re wanting people to move into Lyttelton who really buy into the Lyttelton philosophy of everyone helps everyone. Instead, I’ve heard new people saying, ‘I came here for the community’, and yet they don’t volunteer – how does that work?”

“Unfortunately there are a lot of new people that aren’t interested in helping out, with any sort of volun-teering or contribution.”

Anne Jaiswal agreed.“After a traumatic event, you can

expect a change of lifestyle, which could mean leaving volunteering, or even Lyttelton.”

•From page 11However, Wendy Everingham

doesn’t see a need for change.“I have a volunteer pool of 700.

For the Festival of Lights, I put up a timesheet of different volunteer roles, and within a week they were all filled. I have no worries for volunteers.”

Kathy Bessant loves the ‘old’ com-munity, even pointing out where people live and used to live on the hill, but says she looks forward to the ‘new’ Lyttelton.

Mrs Bessant said: “I think the most exciting thing for the community now, would be if they could rebuild the timeball; it’s like a beacon for Lyttelton. It was one of the few work-ing timeballs in the Southern Hemi-sphere, and it would really show re-growth in Lyttelton.”

The part of the old Lyttelton that Anne Jaiswal misses the most is, “...

the unique style of architecture that really captured Lyttelton. The colours and designs. The unique flair is still here, it’s the buildings that we really miss.”

Whereas, Wendy Everingham misses the musical atmosphere and tourists.

“(what I miss is) The musicians, the artists. Lyttelton’s a music desti-nation . . . There’s very little accom-modation now, we need someone to invest in a motel . . . and the cruise ships need to come back.”

If there’s one constant in Lyttelton throughout these past few years, it’s that here is a community that won’t just lie down and die after such trau-matic events, which have affected ev-eryone in one way or another.

Although the fight isn’t nearly over, there’s always hope with Mrs Ever-ingham.

What makes them successful?• They have evolved over time and have responded to the

different demographic changes since 1877.• They are located in neighbourhoods; they cater for

families and respond to community needs.• They are staffed by highly trained teachers who know

curriculum levels from level 1 – 5 who have had the same teacher training as teachers in other year 7 and 8 school types.

• Teachers in the students current full primary school know about individual students learning progress and learning style from year 1 – 8.

• Developing the whole child, flexibility, nurture, innovation and child centered learning sum up full primary schools.

• Year 7 and 8 intermediate age students are the leaders and role models along with the adults in a full primary school.

• School organisation in a full primary school fits the needs of students not the timetable.

• All year 7 and 8 students are included in leadership opportunities, sporting opportunities, school community job opportunities, buddy responsibilities and role model expectations. They are seen by others in the school as the leaders and younger students to look up to them.

• These opportunities and strategies to build leadership, key competencies and resilience are available to all intermediate age children in a full primary.

Full Primary Years 1 – 8 135 Hackthorne Rd Cashmere 8022 Phone: 03 3326786 www.cashmereprimary.school.nz

Parents of year 6 students are encouraged to take a good look at their child’s full primary school when choosing schooling for 2016. Why change schools when you don’t need to? Full Primary schools are tried and tested and have developed in innovative and cost effective ways since their inception in 1877. They are as important to the provision of education in 2016 as they were in 1877.

What does the research tell us about the learning needs of Year 7 and 8 students?• Curriculum that is relevant, challenging,

integrative, and exploratory• Multiple learning and teaching approaches• Assessment and evaluation programs that

promote quality learning• Organizational structures that support

meaningful relationships and learning• Educators who value working with the

age group • Courageous, collaborative leadership• School-wide efforts and policies that foster

health, wellness, and safety• Multifaceted guidance and support services• School-initiated family and community

partnerships

Looking at the above list it becomes clear that it isn’t school type or school architecture that makes the difference for intermediate age children. It is instead the learning and the attitude of professionals to this cohort of students. This can happen in any school setting as long as the leadership, teachers and non-teaching staff are committed. Full Primary Schools are providers of intermediate aged education in every way that other types of schools are.

“Encouraging life-long learners. Expanding Horizons”

Our school offers…

§ Fun and authentic learning.

§ A family orientated environment.

§ Quality teaching with high expectations.

§ A full primary education - New Entrants - Year 8.

§ Quality learning programmes.

§ Opportunities in sport, the arts, outdoor education and leadership.


And alsoThe research also provides insight into what works for intermediate age children: Ministry of Education by Dinham and Rowe of the Australian Council for Educational Research. 2007• From the broader ‘teaching and learning literature’,

there is strong evidence that the quality of teaching which students receive at all levels and stages of schooling is of major importance in influencing achievement outcomes for students.

• While productive and positive student-teacher relationships are identified as an important characteristic of highly performing schools catering for middle years students, it needs to be acknowledged that good teachers and school leaders at all levels of schooling is what works.

• It is therefore debateable whether at least some aspects of the philosophy and enactment of middle schooling is any different from ‘good’ teaching and effective schooling generally in all school types.

The literature is clear in advocating ‘middle schooling approaches focusing on quality teaching and enhanced learning’ rather than on school type. Therefore it is what happens in the classroom to support learning and what happens across the school to cater for the specific developmental, cognitive, physical, emotional and social needs of intermediate age children that makes the difference. Not school type. The research on middle schooling and its implications to provision of quality education to year 7 and 8 students is as applicable to full primary schools as it is for other intermediate schooling types.

BY JAIMIE KEAYFish and chips is still the No 1 Kiwi favourite when it comes to takeaways and Carl Miln knows the way to cook the perfect piece of fish.

Freshness and a good batter is the key to a good piece of fish said Mr Miln.

“As long as a piece of fish is fresh it will taste good and the batter needs to be not too thick, not to thin. The right balance.

“We pre-cook all of our fish for about two minutes and then once the customer orders them, we then cook them again for around three-four minutes. If we overcook it then it isn’t a nice experience for the customer, the fish just doesn’t taste right.”

Just like KFC’s Colonel Sanders, Mr Miln was not willing to give up his secret recipe for his batter.

“It has been something I have worked out over the years and it has taken a lot of practice to get it right.”

The Ferry Road Fisheries shop owner hung up his apron on Fri-day at the age of 77 after working in the industry for 53 years.

Starting in 1962 in Otautau out-side of Invercargill, he was offered the chance to begin his fish and chip career.

“My brother-in-law, who was also a fisherman, he offered me the chance to lease the business so I took the chance.

[Laughing] “I only got a week’s

tuition to get up to speed on things. It probably wasn’t enough but I learnt as I went from then on.”

In 1964 he moved to Christch-urch and owned a New Brighton fish and chips shop where his

children first joined him behind the counter.

“It was while they were teen-agers and working part-time. It was money in the bank for them. Every dollar counted for them.”

While the price may have changed over his 53 years in the industry, Mr Miln said he believes it is still New Zealand’s No 1 takeaway food due to its price.

“When I started all those years

ago, a piece of fish was around 4 pence which today would prob-ably be around 3 cents and now we charge $2.80 so it’s quite a bit different.”

Over the decades Mr Miln has sold thousands of dozens of oys-ters. He has seen the prices rocket from $3.75 for 57 dozen to more than $20 a dozen today.

But are they the aphrodisiac that they are reputed to be?

The price of oysters has also changed drastically and he recalled a number of occasions when customers came in for their romantic dinner.

“I don’t know if what they say about oysters is correct it might help when you’re on a date. I’ve had a number of people over the years pop in and grab them for their special night. I always had a good chuckle.”

With the price being less obtain-able for the average Kiwi family, Mr Miln said he has cut back on oysters in the store.

“There is just hardly any profit on oysters these days, the last few years I have decided against hav-ing them available at the store.”

Although in his store they offer a variety of types of fish, Mr Miln said the all-round favourite hasn’t changed over the years.

“Cod is and has been the favourite for a while now. Some-times people get a bit upset if we run out but it is always a winner with the customers.”

When it comes to personal preference however, Mr Miln said over the years after sam-pling his fair share of fish types he doesn’t have a particular favourite.

“I prefer my fish crumbed, I just feel it tastes better but if it is a battered piece then it must be crispy. The crispier the better.”

He also resists the urge to eat it every day but said it can be hard.

“I live by myself so there is no-one there to cook for me when I get home,” he said.

“Although I do have a small snack each day, it is just easier but it’s only a small bit of chips and maybe a small piece of fish.”

When it came to recalling the strangest order he has encoun-tered, he said it was usually quite an expensive order.

“We have had the odd $500 order which always raised a few eyebrows. Those usually came in from school or church groups and included quite a few scoops of chips, probably around 10 and above, fish and hot dogs to please everyone.”

The store closed its doors on Friday after Foodstuffs New Zealand purchased the build-ing and declined to renew the current lease to allow the store to continue to trade.

“After spending the last 16 years here I’m sad to leave the

store but the cost and lack of availability of places to relocate means we can’t move some-where else.

“It has been frustrating that we only got six weeks’ notice and we were unable to get an extension from them.”

Mr Miln said he wasn’t sure what he would do with his time after Friday. In spite of work-ing in a fish and chip shop his whole life, fishing isn’t a skill he has mastered.

“I have never been much into fishing, it is probably because I was never any good at it. Catching the fish was never my skill but I was good at cooking it.”

The fish and chip store on Ferry Rd, Woolston, served its last meal on Friday.

to an end• Deferring delivery of the scheme, for inclusion in the 2018-28 Long Term Plan.• Proceeding as planned in the finan-cial year beginning July 1, 2015.

Stage one of the Wainui wastewa-ter upgrade was completed in May 2013, removing the treated wastewa-ter being discharged into the Akaroa Harbour.

The second stage of the scheme, which is the subject of this consulta-tion, is to provide individual proper-ties with a reticulated wastewater system and new treatment plant that will discharge to land.

The final stage of the Wainui wastewater upgrade will pro-ceed in three years’ time.

Last week the city council decided the scheme would proceed with the final stage in 2018, but it would explore other options to bring the im-plementation date forward.

Councillors voted for the scheme to go ahead in the financial year beginning July 1, 2018, although were keen to explore the possibility of a cost-share agreement or a targeted rate so work can begin sooner.

Banks Peninsula councillor Andrew Turner said deferring the second stage of the scheme for three years was a difficult decision for the city council, which was balancing the needs of the community with grow-ing financial pressures due to the earthquakes.

“While we acknowledge this is not the outcome the Wainui community was hoping for, solutions like cost sharing and targeted rates need to be ex-plored further to help the city council meet all of the financial demands being put on it.”

Community consultation was carried out in March on three proposed options for the next stage of the project. They were:• A cost-share proposal between the city council and property owners to deliver the project.

Andrew LePine, Director, and Tim Hopkins, Project Manager, of Beech Construction with homeowner Susie Rivers following the CHRP repair of her home.

EQC works with customers to find best way forwardWith over 98 percent of its 69,000 Canterbury home repairs completed or under way, the Earthquake Commission is working with the final 700 customers who have not yet been able to commit to a managed repair to determine the best way forward for them.

EQC chief executive Ian Simpson says many of the repairs yet to complete are more complex than those completed so far.

“Because of this complexity, we need to keep talking with these customers to determine the best options for them.

“EQC is as committed as ever to completing its work in Canterbury. We do not currently have an end date for the Canterbury Home Repair Programme and will be here for as long as it takes to get the job done,” Mr Simpson says.

“However, with the vast majority of repairs now complete, we cannot keep the repair programme running indefinitely.”

The Earthquake Commission Act 1993 allows EQC to choose to settle building claims by cash payments or by repairing or replacing earthquake-damaged buildings.

“We know that a managed repair is not the best option for some customers, and we know that a simple cash settlement may not work for others. We are keen to work with remaining customers on a case-by-case basis to find the nature of support they need to enable the resolution of their claim,” Mr Simpson says.

“We’re actively working with these customers to resolve their claims in a way that best suits their circumstances. To do this, we are working with other agencies and support networks.”

Customers in the programme can still choose to opt out up until the point that repair work is underway.

Customers uncertain about their claim status can contact EQC by phoning 0800 DAMAGE (0800 326 243) or request an appointment with a member of the Community Contact Team.

A world first: settlement of Increased Flooding Vulnerability land damageThe Earthquake Commission (EQC) has been settling claims for properties with potential Increased Flooding Vulnerability (IFV) land damage since March.

It is the first time in the world that IFV has been recognised as a form of land damage for compensation. This required groundbreaking work and a lot of time to ensure customers could be confident their IFV settlements were soundly based, says EQC Head of Canterbury Land, Keith Land.

“Once the High Court confirmed in December 2014 that EQC’s policy is lawful and the appeal period finished earlier this year, we moved to start settling these claims in mid-March,” Mr Land said.

By mid-June over 500 customers received their packs. There are currently about 9,000 customers still to hear whether their property qualifies for IFV land damage or not.

“We understand customers have waited some time for IFV settlements to begin and we’re working hard to confirm the IFV status for each property as soon as we can. There’s so much complexity involved, we want to make sure the information received is useful and clear.”

Customer settlement packs include engineering and, where applicable, valuation assessment summaries, to show how EQC reached its decision about the property. EQC has been working closely with community and support groups to ensure good quality information in the packs. EQC then calls customers when they receive their packs to take them through the material and answer questions.

“Customers are encouraged to contact us with any questions. Alternatively they can seek support from groups such as Residential Advisory Service and Canterbury Support Line. Customers can also ask for a review of our decision at any point, even after a payment has been made.”

As for properties with potential Increased Liquefaction Vulnerability (ILV) land damage, EQC aims to finalise its policy for settling this type of land damage in the next couple of months. An update of the settlement timeline for ILV will be provided once the policy is established, but it is likely that settlements will continue during 2016.

Hub to stay open Customers’ demand for more time to meet multiple agencies face-to-face has resulted in the Eastgate Shopping Centre In The Know Hub being kept open until 27 August, 2015.

Originally, the plan was to close the hub on 25th June, but demand has remained constant from customers to discuss their individual claims with agencies such as the Earthquake Commission (EQC), Christchurch City Council, Earthquake Support Coordinators, Residential Advisory Service, CanCERN and CERA.

EQC’s Acting General Manager Customer and Claims, Michael Price, says the number of customers who have been booking appointments with the EQC Customer Contact Team at the hub has averaged around 60 each week.

“Most customers have wanted to talk about their EQC claims and it’s increasingly apparent that the majority just want to talk to a person. EQC’s always had a Community Contact Team to meet people face-to-face but the hub means we work alongside community and other agencies, so we supported keeping the Hub open for a longer period.

“EQC is now into the last two percent of its home repair programme, involving the more difficult claims to resolve. We are also in the process of settling land claims for increased flooding and liquefaction vulnerability land damages. With that in mind, we want to make ourselves available to our customers as much as possible.”

Around 200 people a week are visiting the hub to discuss their individual claims.

Meet the ResearchersIn this series, Meet the Researchers, we talk to EQC researchers about their important work.

Earthquake expert, Dr Mark Quigley, describes the Canterbury series of earthquakes as one of the most significant events in New Zealand’s history. “We tend to forget how hard it really was; living without power, water and sewerage for long periods, constantly having the house shaken to bits, balancing huge workloads and being really stressed. There is no doubt that the earthquakes changed our lives forever.”

As a local earthquake scientist and Christchurch resident affected by the quakes, Dr Quigley says he took the opportunity to do the best science he could with his students and colleagues to share the knowledge.

Associate Professor of Active Tectonics and Geomorphology in Geological Sciences at the University of Canterbury, Dr Quigley joins the School of Earth Sciences at the University of Melbourne in October 2015, but retains an Adjunct Associate Professorship at the University of Canterbury and his ties to Christchurch.

BY FRASER WALKER-PEARCE

Just three months after retiring, vicar Neil Struthers is loving every minute of his new, relaxed lifestyle.

Lyttelton’s long-serving vicar of the Holy Trinity Church recently retired at age 65. Mr Struthers helped the Lyttelton community through the earthquakes which desolated much of the port side.

He aided the people most af-fected in Lyttelton by cooking and distributing lunch and dinners, visiting door to door praying for those affected; even host-ing people in his own home and giving them rides wherever they needed to go.

However, Mr Struthers also wanted to thank the tireless ef-forts of the emergency services. “The amount of effort from the firefighters, ambulance, police, Civil Defence, Project Lyttelton and so many other groups, it was amazing.”

When asked, what makes this church so special? Mr Struthers said: “Because it’s been there since December 1850, it’s a real community church. The church has been there through all those major events; World War 1 and 2. We have had major changes in the village since then – and for a time it was the last church left in Lyttelton.”

After the September and Febru-ary earthquakes, the Holy Trinity Church was the only church left standing in Lyttelton, and it was

totally broken. “It was completely destroyed.

All rubble. Nothing was use-able. This hugely affected the community, we’re still very much on a journey of recovery,” Mr Struthers said.

After that, the church slowly began to fall apart, rendering it completely impossible for Mr Struthers to conduct a service for the Lyttelton faithful.

“We were outside for five ser-vices. We endured all weather, we then spent two months at Lyttel-ton Primary, then 13 months in a Catholic church, before we were

able to go back to Lyttelton, it’s now called Saint Saviours.”

There have been many ups and downs in his time as vicar of the church, but doesn’t regret a minute of it.

“The hardest time I can recall, was seeing the church come down after 160 years of service. (After the earthquake) In February we lost the south wall, in June it all came down; and the worst thing was the way it affected the people. People moved and since then, we’ve buried 13 parishioners. The happiest times have been anniversaries, midnight services

at Christmas; weddings and bap-tisms.”

Exciting times are planned ahead for the church, with the appointment of Reverend Peter Williams, but Mr Struthers firmly believes that if Saint Saviours is to flourish, the only way to over-come the hurdles holding them back is substantial and consistent growth.

Now that he has retired, he has taken a laid back and slower ap-proach to life, enjoying the small things with friends and family.

“I’ve been attending the transi-tional cathedral, enjoying every-thing there, my granddaughter comes too. I’m living one day at a time, just enjoying life.”

Mr Struthers still lives in Lyttelton, “right in the heart of the community, because of the people and the view of course”.

New Government funding for cycle ways in the city will see $9.4m go into three which will serve the south.

The Rapanui-Shag Rock Cycleway will receive $4.42 million, the Heathcote Expressway will receive $2.94 million and the Quarryman’s Trail will receive $2.04 million.

The Rapanui-Shag Rock Cycleway will connect Ferrymead to the central city, and provide a link to the Christchurch Coastal Pathway.

The Heathcote Expressway will connect Heathcote Valley, Hillsborough, Opawa and Woolston with the central city. It will also provide a link between the main CPIT campus and the CPIT Trades Innovation Institute campus.

The Quarryman’s Trail will provide a link to the central city for Somerfield and Hoon Hay.

Port Hills list MP Nuk Korako welcomed the funding and was glad there would be a safer network of cycleways for the future.

“This new funding will accelerate the build, meaning we’ll all be able to take advantage of these cycleways earlier.

“These cycleways will complement other transport options we have in the area. The addition of an extensive cycle network will make Christchurch, and particularly the suburbs south of the city, a very attractive place for people to live.”

RUGBYSumner currently sit top of

the table in the bottom six of Christchurch club rugby’s first di-vision, and have secured a place in the semi-finals of the Hawkins Plate.

They have won all three of their games since the split took place, in-cluding a 36-19 victory over Belfast last weekend, scoring five tries to three, including two from fullback Hushton Tohovaka.

Sumner will host Linwood in the next round on Saturday, at St Leon-ard’s Park; kick off is at 2.45pm.

Lyttelton’s challenge for the Hawkins Division Two title is still on, after they beat High School Old Boys last weekend.

Lyttelton made light work of the HSOB side, winning 27-8..

They now sit third in the table on 49 points after 13 games.

HOCKEYCarlton Redcliffs’ men’s side sit third on the Canterbury Premier League ladder with 16 points; just six be-hind joint leaders Southern and Harewood (although Harewood are ahead of Southern with a 27-goal ad-vantage) after nine rounds.

Last weekend they played

Southern in a game which could’ve catapulted them into second place, however, they lost 3-1 at St Bedes.

In the next round they will play Canterbury University, who are fifth on 13 points. If Southern win, they could overtake Redcliffs.

That game starts at 11am at Marist Park on Saturday.

The Carlton Redcliffs women’s side are also third in their com-

petition; behind High School Old Boys-Burnside, on 19 points, and Harewood, on 22.

Last week, Redcliffs played Horn-by and won 3-2 at Marist Park. Hornby sit fourth on 10 points, so that could be an important result come the end of the season.

This week they will play league leaders Harewood. Marist Park will be the venue, and the game starts at 12.30pm.

FOOTBALLFerrymead Bays have experi-

enced an up and down 2015 sea-son, to say the least; and their position in the Mainland Premier League reflects that.

They’re currently third on 24 points after 14 games.

Their last league match was a vic-tory, a 5-0 thumping of Halswell, leaving them just four points from second placed Nelson Suburbs, although Nelson have a game in hand.

The next test for Bays will be on Saturday against bottom of the table side Christchurch United.

That game kicks off at 2.45pm at ASB Football Park.

However, Bays will not be so pleased with their result last Satur-day in the Chatham Cup.

A disappointing performance at Garrick Park saw them exit the national knockout tournament, as current Cup holders, Cashmere Technical won 2-1.

It was a slow game that saw Tech impose their game plan early on an ill-prepared Ferrymead side which had little forward momentum.

A Tom Schwarz double saw the game out for Tech who never looked in trouble, even after Chris Ander-son pulled one back for the visitors with half an hour to go.

Fraser Walker-Pearce wraps the weekend sport and also looks at what is coming up

Sumner in plate semi-finals

QUICK HANDS: Sumner half-back Sam Corston spreads the ball wide to help ensure a convincing 36-19 win over Belfast last weekend.

A Mt Pleasant resident has been honoured by the Japanese Government for his services to international relations.

David Bolam-Smith has been named as one of 15 worldwide recipients of The Rising Sun Gold and Silver Rays category of the Order of the Rising Sun.

A ceremony will be held in Wellington later this year to present Mr Bolam-Smith with his medal.

Mr Bolam-Smith has been a volunteer on the Christchurch and Kurashiki sister-city com-mittee for 27 years.

He commissioned artist An-nabel Menzies-Joyce to cre-ate two sculptures to honour the Japanese people who lost

their lives in the February 2011 earthquake.

The identical sculptures were unveiled in 2012, with one sitting at the Transitional Cathedral site while the other is in Toyama City, Japan.

The order acknowledges those who have made distin-guished achievements in inter-national relations, promotion of Japanese culture, advance-ments in their field, develop-ment in welfare or preserva-tion of the environment.

The awards are held twice a year in spring and autumn.

Mr Bolam-Smith felt hon-oured to be named as a recipi-ent.

“I felt it was really lovely that the Japanese Government rec-ognised sister-cities, and the goodwill that’s generated be-tween cities and countries.”

CEREMONY: David Bolam-Smith and wife Junko (left) show Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe one of the sculptures he commissioned at a ceremony inside the Transitional Cathedral last year.

THANKS: Sumner’s Our Lady Star of the Sea School after its annual lip-sync held at the Sumner Hall. This year it had more than 350 people packed into the hall to watch the pupils perform. They wanted to thank everyone in and around the Sumner community for their support of the lip-sync.

NEW VISITORS: Eileen Ward and Arthur Hall with Our Lady Star of the Sea School pupils Harry Withers and Alice Wehi who were visiting the school as part of a new initiative.

WINTHIS BOOKIn the Quiet

by Eliza Henry-JonesA moving, sweet and uplifting novel of love, grief and the heartache of letting go, from a wonderful new Australian author.Cate Carlton has recently died, yet she is able to linger on, watching her three young children and her husband as they come to terms with their life without her on their rural horse property. As the months pass and her children grow, they cope in different ways, drawn closer and pulled apart by their shared loss. And all Cate can do is watch on helplessly, seeing their grief, how much they miss her and how - heartbreakingly - they begin to heal. Gradually unfolding to reveal Cate’s life, her marriage, and the unhappy secret she shared with one of her children, In the Quiet is compelling, simple, tender, true - heartbreaking and uplifting in equal measure.“You will weep, and marvel, and pass this book on, and on, to your friends.” Nikki Gemmell

Bull Mountainby Brian PanowichIn the mountains of North Georgia, a small town sheriff is forced to confront his family’s past... and present. Clayton Burroughs is the Sheriff of Bull Mountain and the black sheep of the brutal and blood-steeped Burroughs clan. In the forties and fifties, the family ran moonshine over six state lines. In the sixties and seventies, they farmed the largest above-ground marijuana crop on the East Coast, and now they are one of the largest suppliers of methamphetamine in the Southern states. An uneasy pact exists between the law man and his folk, but when a federal agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms shows up in Clayton’s office with a plan to shut down Bull Mountain, his agenda will pit brother against brother, test loyalties, and lead Clayton down a path to self-destruction. At its heart, BULL MOUNTAIN is a story about family, and the lengths men will go to protect it, honor it, or, in some cases, destroy it.

You may not realise it, but your sugar consumption has likely in-creased over the past several years.

Beyond what you add to your coffee or the occasional sweet treat, you may be getting hidden sugar from an array of processed foods, such as tomato sauce and salad dressing. Even conventional baby food contains added sugar. And all those additions can be troubling to your health, say experts.

“Sugar is directly linked to obesity, tooth decay, diabetes, fatigue, headaches, arthritis, adrenal burnout and physiologi-cal and emotional problems,” says Steve Weston, director of ambas-sador relations/ nutrition expert of Sunwarrior, a producer of raw, plant-based supplements.

For improved health, here are several ways to become more mindful about your sugar con-sumption:

•There are many names and forms of sugar so learning to read food labels helps. Generally speak-ing, if an ingredient ends with -ose, then it’s a sugar.

•Keep the sugar off the table and in the pantry. You’ll be less likely to add it to your meals. There are plenty of foods that you may be adding sugar to that are already sugary on their own – from cereal to fresh fruit.

•Don’t use artificial sweeteners. It may seem natural to reach for an artificial sweetener when you’re attempting to cut back on the real

deal, but it’s a mistake. Most arti-ficial sweeteners actually increase cravings for sugary foods. If you do need a boost of sweetness, stick

to more healthy options, such as honey, date sugar, coconut sugar and pure organic maple syrup.

•Seek out sweet flavours, while

reaping the benefits of plant-based proteins with a protein blend such as Sunwarrior Protein, an easily digestible nutrient-filled superfood that tastes great and has zero grams of sugar and no unhealthy additives.

“A healthy protein powder can ensure you’re getting a complete array of the essential amino acids needed to build and repair muscle, drive metabolism, keep skin young and elastic, build and balance hormones and carry out a host of other processes by allowing the body to create the right enzymes,” says Weston.

Using low temperatures, en-zymes, whole grains and super-foods, Sunwarrior’s process creates plant-based proteins that taste great and supply all the essential amino acids your body craves.

•Pay attention to your skin, which is a reflection of your health and the quality of your nutrition. If you consume too much sugar, particularly from processed foods, a chemical reaction can form a rogue molecule known as an ad-vanced glycation end product. Un-desirable effects include wrinkles and droopy skin.

By learning more about the foods you eat and making wise choices, you can reduce your sugar intake without missing out on flavour.

The fat surrounding blood vessels can help fight heart disease.

The new research might help explain the paradox that people with a body mass index that signifies obesity are actually more likely to live longer after a heart attack than someone who has a healthier BMI.

The studies, led by a British Heart Foundation research fellow Professor Charalambos Antoniades, involved analysis of tissue collected from heart surgery patients.

Antoniades found the heart, and the arteries supplying blood to it, send out an SOS to the fat surrounding these tissues to stimulate a defence mechanism against early stages of coronary heart disease.

The research revealed that during oxidative stress – a process that leads to the fur-ring of the arteries known as atherosclerosis – the fat surrounding the vessels and heart releases chemicals that minimise it and also help prevent the development of heart disease.

The chemicals are anti-inflammatory to minimise the inflammation triggered

by oxidative stress and anti-oxidant to target the process itself.

Antoniades acknowl-edged that “fat has a bad reputation.”

“But we’re learning more and more about how and why certain types of fat in the body are actually essential for good heart health.”

The team is looking at how these healthy processes can be weakened if the fat is unhealthy, as can be the case if a person has type 2 diabetes.

The researchers are devel-

oping treatments to reverse this.

By using a newly devel-oped technology based on high-resolution computer-ised tomography, they are also trying to monitor the behaviour of fat in the hu-man body, and guide future therapeutic interventions to prevent cardiovascular diseases.

This could allow doctors to detect the earliest stages of heart disease and direct treatment to prevent the development of the disease, which can lead to a heart attack.

MOTORING

IT WAS nearly 20 years ago when Honda introduced its sport utility vehicle – the CRV.

CRV is a common abbreviation for compact recreational vehicle, but by all accounts it is what we have largely termed an SUV. The CRV is mid-size and it is still true to the original concept, even though it is now well through its fourth lifecycle.

Honda has just refreshed the CRV which suggests it is on track for another generational change in a couple of years’ time.

For 2015 the CRV gets a mild facelift up front with the inclusion of daytime running lights, there are bigger wheels, and it gets a heap of fitment inclusions, most for safety.

The test car was badged Sport NT, and it is the range-topping model within the line-up. It sits at $54,990, bearing in mind that the range starts at $38,990 for a two-wheel-drive, 2-litre variant.

For its price the Sport NT repre-sents amazing value. The level of fitment is way too comprehensive to list in detail, but major items include full leather trim (heated

seats up front and electrically adjustable), satellite navigation, active cruise control, dual-zone air conditioning, and electric sunroof.

For safety the list is very com-prehensive, new features include collision mitigation braking and lane watch camera which is linked to lane keep assist and lane depar-ture warning, these features on top of what are now deemed to be usual safety inclusions.

Under the bonnet sits Honda’s tried and trusted four-cylinder, twin-camshaft engine of 2354cc.

It is rated with 140kW and 222Nm of torque. As we have come to expect from Honda, it is an engine which is quite peaky at the top end. If you take into

account that maximum power sits at 7000rpm and peak torque doesn’t arrive until 4000rpm, there’s a belief that it needs to work hard to achieve results.

However, that’s not quite how it operates, the engine management protocols are structured so that the engine doesn’t work unecces-sarily hard. Especially so if you use the economical approach, encouraged by the inclusion of a button which deliberately numbs the engine down to an operating manner which is a little lazier, yet far more efficient.

According to Honda, the CRV in four-wheel-drive form will use fuel at the rate of 8.7-litres per 100km (33mpg). That fits well

with the fuel usage readout which was constantly hovering around 9.4l/100km (30mpg).

Drive flows through a five-speed automatic gearbox. Shifts are smooth, kick-downs are quick and the ratios are structured so that engine load is minimal. And, of course, the 2015 CRV gets steering wheel-mounted paddles for driver involvement.

However, the CRV is all about practicality. With just 170mm of ground clearance it couldn’t be described as an off-roader, but it is what has loosely been termed a soft-roader and is capable in low grip situations.

I experienced a long section of road works when I was out testing,

so in order not to get the vehicle overly dirty I ventured along a ditch to a dry, clean surface. Grip wasn’t lost in the transition, but it was a bit of a test for four-wheel-drive and suspension ability.

The spring and damper rates are structured for comfort. Most crit-ics will tell you that double wish-bone suspension offers the best occupant comfort, the CRV’s rear end has that type.

On-road handling is far from compromised. Honda has done a lot of work with steering and suspension settings for the facelift model, it feels very car-like to drive with composed body bal-ance.

You can guarantee Honda is working tirelessly on the next gen-eration CRV. In the interim, the fresh model now in showrooms will satisfy. Sales are still buoyant for CRV which is recognition for how well it has stood the test of time.

Hornado de chancho marinated roast pork leg

Ingredients4½ kgs Pork, leg, boned and rolled (ask your butcher to do this for you)2 Tbsp Ground cumin2 Tbsp Sea salt1½ Tbsp Ground paprika2 tsp Freshly ground black pepper4 Limes, juice only3 bottles Lager, 375ml each80g Butter, melted

DirectionsUse a small sharp knife to score the skin of the pork and make several deep incisions in the pork leg. Place in a non-reactive tray. Combine the garlic, cumin, salt, paprika and pepper in a bowl. Pour the lime juice over the pork and rub into all sides, then rub the spiced garlic paste over the pork, pushing it into the inci-sions. Cover and leave to marinate in the refrigera-tor for 12 to 24 hours. Pour the beer over the pork, cover and return to the refrigerator to mari-nate for a further 12 to 24

hours, turning occasional-ly so that the leg marinates evenly. Preheat a gas barbecue fitted with a rotisserie to 200 deg C. All the burn-ers should be turned to medium. Insert the rotisserie rod lengthwise through the leg of pork, ensuring the pork leg is evenly balanced. Secure the rotisserie spit according to the manufac-turer’s instructions. Turn off the burners di-rectly underneath the pork, leaving the side burners on medium. Place a drip tray filled with 1cm water underneath the pork. Baste the pork with the melted butter. Reduce the heat to 180 deg C and cook the pork for 1½ to 2 hours, or until the skin is crisp and golden brown and the meat is just cooked through. Test with a skewer, the juices should run clear. Use barbecue mitts to remove the rotisserie rod. Take the pork off the rod and place on a large tray. Cover with foil and set aside to rest for 10 minutes. Cut into slices and serve with Peruvian Onion Salsa, Brazilian Rice, and Grilled Red Capsicum.

Macaroni and cauliflower cheese

Ingredients1 Cauliflower1 Macaroni1 Cheese1 White sauce2 drops Worcester-shire sauce1 Salt1 to decorate Tomato, sliced1 Bacon bits, (op-tional)

DirectionsBlanch the cauliflower. Cook the macaroni in salted water until tender. Make a simple white sauce and melt a good amount of cheese into it. A little Worcester-shire sauce helps boost the flavour. Sit the macaroni and cauliflower in a baking dish. Pour over the cheesy sauce and gently mix through the con-tents. You could add grilled bacon pieces. Decorate with some tomato slices, add a lit-tle more grated cheese to the top and bake in a moderate oven until brown and bubbling.

A combination of gentle chiropractic, acupressure, homeopathy & kinesiology

Owners Emma Nijman and Sharnelle Mitchell saw a gap in Sumner Village for opening a highly professional beauty

therapy clinic that o� ers a wide variety of services, from waxing to expert skin therapy without travelling in to the city.

“We decided to create a clinic that focuses on modern, results-driven treatments delivered with an elevated level of luxury and personalised service,” says Emma. “Renaissance is run with strong old-fashioned values by a positive and tight-knit team who always puts the clients � rst.”

Testament to their excellent service is that over half of their clients come from outside the local area, travelling to Sumner for their treatments and specialised products.

Mother’s Day is the perfect time to enjoy being pampered. Renaissance has two special edition bliss packages on o� er to celebrate Mother’s Day:

and a relaxing back and scalp massage for $129 (valued at $188).

massage combined with a divine re� exology foot massage for only $89 (valued at $120).

Renaissance’s in-store retail boutique is home to the results-driven Ultraceuticals and Gatineau skincare brands, and the stunning range of Ecoya gi� ware, perfect for Mother’s Day.

From waxing and tinting to a range of massages and advanced body treatments, Renaissance also employs a botox and injectables practitioner and makeup artist as required.

Only in its second year, Top Shop winner Renaissance is currently working towards yet another accolade as Best New Business Model at the NZ Beauty Industry

so all of their clients are in safe hands.Located at 16/42 Marriner St, Renaissance

is currently undergoing its own makeover with a spruced up look on the exterior.

from Monday to Saturday with four late nights, making Renaissance an easy choice both for locals and clients from further a� eld.

Like them on Facebook and you can receive special o� ers. To make an appointment, go online at www.renaissancespa.co.nz, or give the team a call on 326 5279 to purchase one of their bliss packages in time for Mother’s Day.

Irresistibly Elegant! In my opinion less is more! When handle-less design meets high

gloss lacquer the effect is entirely harmonious with a contemporary , streamline,

linear appearance. Come and see why our newly installed kitchen is the star of the

Stunning & Seamless! This Durable Melamine kitchen with Laser fused PVC edging

has removed the unsightly glue marks that are prevalent in many Melamine kitchens,

at the low end of the price range (Price Group.2) this makes Laser an extremely

Chic French inspired! A favourite of mine with a

beautifully soft honed lacquer finish, ideal if sun

reflection is an issue.

Complimented with a realistic and price effective reproduction

laminate timber top. Antique iron handles and framed glass

doors with delicate curved lighting above ensures you will have a

one of a kind kitchen.

I love this high quality Lacquered finish. The stunning Lacquer high

gloss surfaces lends the kitchen a modern, fresh appearance.

In price group 1 Speed gives you the opportunity to own a fantastic quality kitchen

at the most affordable of prices. All of our kitchens are of the same quality

cabinet for every price group, it is only the door that changes, so you can be

assured that if you choose an entry level range you are not compromising on quality!
