BY KYLE KNOWLES

A plan to site Shirley Boys’ and Avonside Girls’ high schools at Burwood Park has angered nearby residents.

Dallington Residents’ Associa-tion chairman Mark Beanland said he was opposed to the idea of schools being built on the park.

“Absolutely no to Burwood Park. The eastern suburbs have been hard hit by the earthquakes and there are very few sports fields available. QE II Park is a much big-ger space and in my opinion would be far more suitable.”

Shirley Sports Club president Roger Smith said he was deeply concerned and knew little infor-mation about what would happen to the Shirley Rugby Club and East Christchurch-Shirley Cricket Club, which call the park home, if Burwood Park was picked.

The New Brighton Santa Parade was held last week with the market taking place afterwards. A cool southerley could not keep the crowds away as hundreds of people lined the street to enjoy the vintage cars, community groups, BMX riders and Santa Claus pass by.

• From page 1“We’re obviously very con-

cerned about it. We have got well over a million dollars invested in the clubs. We are concerned that it is up in the air where our future lies.”

For now Mr Smith said the clubs would just carry on as if nothing is going to happen to the park and have to sit tight until the final decision was made.

The Pegasus Post revealed last week the site for the new combined school will be either Burwood Park or QE II.

Mr Smith said there has been no consultation with the clubs up to this point but hoped there would be moving forward from here.

Mr Smith said the clubs were in limbo until the final decision was made which he believed would be around April.

The clubs would also want to be helped out finding a new home if the park was taken for the schools.

“I hope that would be the case. We provide volunteers and run a big social service so we would ex-pect any changes to be in good faith and we were not just left turfed out on our ear,” Mr Smith said.

Selwyn Eagle, of Dallington, said there were better alternatives than Burwood Park and it was not a smart idea.

RoadworksFrom January 12, Pages Rd from An-zac Drive to Breezes Rd will be one-way heading towards the city for the whole year. SCIRT and City Care are install-ing vacuum mains and pressure mains including five major wastewater pipes, vacuum and pressure. These will be in-stalled into two deep trenches to the new pump stations. A detour for east-bound traffic will be in place around Ottawa Rd or Bickerton St. The work is expected to be finished in November.

Light upgrades approvedThe Burwood-Pegasus Community Board gave permission to the New Brigh-ton Rugby Club to restore floodlights at Thomson Park last week. These will be upgraded for training purposes and not be used more than four times a day in winter and be turned off before 9pm. Coastal Spirit Football Club also had light upgrades approved by the Hagley-Ferrymead Community Board last week. They will replace three poles with new ones and in conjunction with Canterbury Softball will form part of a bigger upgrade to Cuthberts Green. More floodlights are planned and they will be built once the exact location for an artificial playing turf is finalised at the ground.

Softball lease renewedThe Canterbury Softball Association has had its lease of Mainland Foundation Ballpark at Cowles Stadium renewed for 20 years. The new lease was approved by the Hagley-Ferrymead Community Board last week. The existing lease ex-pired at the end of September and was being rolled over on a month by month basis. The first lease was granted in 1991 and city council staff see it as a valuable asset to Christchurch and the softball community.

A community project that went sour at the demolished site of the Bridge St shops is still simmer-ing a year on.

Last December community group Renew Brighton along with volunteers were able to get an outdoor restaurant and food caravans set up on the site but some residents complained it looked terrible and would rather have the shops rebuilt.

Recently a hate message was spray painted on a wall opposite the site directed at the former Renew Brighton co-ordinator, Rebecca May (inset).

Before this another message appeared on the wall saying “share the love” which Ms May said she did not paint.

However, someone has be-lieved Ms May painted it and de-cided to paint their own message which read: “F*** off Bec May”.

It has subsequently been removed but Ms May said it was still concerning.

Ms May said she has a fair idea who painted the message and wanted to let them know she did not paint the original “share the love” message on the wall.

“I accept that your feeling hurt about this and that this perhaps didn’t got to your plans but I’m prepared to take responsibility for it. I just wanted to let them know I’m open to criticism but

it does seem kind of ironic,” Ms May said.

She said the idea was to set

up the area as a place for the community and try to ensure graffiti would not be painted and

it was now ironic that someone has graffitied there just to abuse her.

Graffiti stirs up dispute

SITE IN QUESTION: This is the area that Renew Brighton set up as a community space but was met with criticism from some residents a year ago.

Speed limits on Prestons Rd are set to be lowered further than first thought.

The Burwood-Pegasus Community Board has recommended to the city council the road’s speed limit be lowered from 80km/h to 50km/h.

It was originally recommended by city council staff to be lowered to 60km/h but a number of submissions that the community board received wanted it lowered to 50km/h.

Alpine View Lifestyle Village director Jeremy O’Dowd gave a deputation at the community board meeting last week and was “wrapped” the board had recommended the speed limit of 50km/h.

“The biggest concern we have is a lot of our folks are finding it hard to mange the road and the trucks going past are particularly bad.”

Mr O’Dowd said with the development in the area it was “nuts” to have the limit at such a high speed.

“Those trucks just rocket past. I’ve got to motor to just get out of our village. One day one of my folks isn’t going to make it.”

He said he was appreciative of the community board for taking his warnings seriously and recommending the lower limit.

The recommendation will now be put before the city council early next year but ultimately the New Zealand Transport Agency has the final say.

A speed decrease on Marshland Rd of 80km/h to 70km/h and an increase on Frosts Rd from 50km/h to 70km/h were also recommended.

Party a lift for kids and familiesBY BRIDGET RUTHERFORD

Children suffering from cancer had something to smile about on Saturday when they attended their annual Christmas party.

The event, which was or-ganised and funded by the Smulders Family Charitable Trust, saw more than 200 people gather at Selwyn House school for three hours of carnival-themed fun.

Charlotte and Pier Smulders are the owners of The Christchurch Star Company.

Some of the fun included a merry-go-round, a bouncy castle, face painting, a visit from Santa and a number of different activities.

Santa arrived on a YikeBike and gave pres-ents to all of the children who attended.

It was the fourth year Mrs Smulders had organised the event after she took over from the late Diana and Robbie Robinson who had run the parties for more than 20 years.

Mrs Smulders said it was another fantastic and meaningful day for the children and their families.

The best part about organising the Christmas party was seeing the children smile and the enjoyment on their faces, she said.

“It’s an escape for them.”She said the Christmas party would con-

tinue to run in years to come.Selwyn House assistant principal Juliana

Rae said the event had run very well and the school would be more than happy to host it again.

“We provided the venue which we were delighted to be able to do.”

The organisers wished to thank Selwyn House, Marcel Gray from Pak ’N Save Wainoni, Jo Grams from Moda Fotografica, Frucor and Traiteur of Merivale.

Last week Banks Avenue School farewelled its two deputy principals who both retired after a combined 80 years of teaching.

Kay Robson and Rae McDonald have both put the duster down with Mrs Mc-Donald leaving behind almost two decades worth of memories at the Dallington school.

Mrs McDonald has been deputy princi-pal in the senior school since 1995.

In her career she has taught at a number of schools including Rangiora Borough School and Leamington School in Cam-bridge.

Mrs McDonald is passionate about read-ing and literacy and it is due to her vision and hard work that Banks Ave has a stand out library and information centre.

She is also passionate about growing young teachers and has given many hours to guiding and mentoring beginning teach-ers.

After 45 years of teaching and leadership, Mrs McDonald is looking forward to an extended holiday overseas in 2015 and the chance to relax over a coffee with friends.

Kay Robson joined Banks Ave as associ-ate principal in the junior school in 2002.

Prior to joining the Banks Ave team Miss Robson had taught in a number of schools including Russley and Riccarton primary schools.

She has led the junior team ensuring that our new pupils get a sound foundation in

literacy and numeracy. Miss Robson has also been responsible

for introducing very successfully, family reading and maths initiatives where parents and grandparents are invited to school every term, to join in with either reading or maths activities.

Both of these dedicated teachers and leaders have worked tirelessly for the ben-efit of our pupils and staff.

They will both be missed. Staff, pupils and families thank them for all of their ef-forts and hard work over the yearsand wish them all the best in their retire-ment.

Banks Ave School’slong-serving teachers farewelled

RETIRED: Rae McDonald retired last week after being at Banks Ave School for 19 years.

FAREWELL: Kay Robson has retired after 12 years at the school.

[Edition datE]2

Accredited practising dietitian Duncan Hunter (independent advisor to Atkins Nutritionals) says that needn’t be the case if

we take a few simple steps to avoid the silly season spread.• Never go to a party hungry. Ever. Eat

dinner beforehand and avoid the buffet bar completely or have a light snack, such as an Atkins Chocolate Hazelnut Crisp Bar, and then only have a few healthy nibbles when you get there. Remember though, highly processed/high carb crackers and dips are not a healthy snack!

• Unless you have thewill power of steel,aiming to lose weight over Christmas is

Tips to avoid piling on

the party season pounds

With Christmas and the party season well and truly upon us, slipping into that New Year’s number may be beginning to look a little daunting, especially since research has shown most adults put on

between half and one-and-a-half kilos over Christmas, but don’t lose it afterwards.

probably unrealistic. So don’t. Just plan to maintain your pre-Christmas weight and work hard to do it. If you set unachievable goals, it will be way too easy to fail and then to jump off the wagon altogether.

• Sizeiseverything.Useasmallplateratherthan a dinner plate and dish up half of what you think you’ll want to make sure you don’t overeat.

• Trade low-fat for low-carb. There’s agrowing body of evidence showing that restricting carbohydrates is a more successful strategy for long-term weight loss than opting for low-fat products that are often laden with added sugars instead. The New Atkins programme advocates

limiting “bad” refined carbohydrates, such as white bread, pasta and processed foods, instead choosing “good” carbohydrates, from fresh fruit, vegetable, dairy as well as sources of lean protein.

• Whatever you do, steer clear of creamydips, pastries, chips and cakes.

• Hunteradvisesbringingyourownplateoflow-carb snacks to share to ensure there’s something at the party you know you can eat, such as veggie sticks with homemade hummus or beetroot dip, sashimi, meat and vegetable kebabs or fruit salad.

• Too much alcohol will show up on thescales, plain and simple. Of course the best weight loss strategy is to avoid

alcohol altogether, but if that’s not going to happen then go for small glasses, hide from diligent staff topping up drinks all night (finish one at a time) and for every glass of wine have a water as well.

• Try to find time to exercise. Take thekids for a bike ride. Ask for gym gear or personal training sessions as Christmas presents. Go for a long walk in the soft sand on holidays. Every bit you movemakes a difference.

FOOD

CHRISTMAS CHOCOLATE ROULADEThis pavlova-like mixture is rolled around a filling of Christmas mincemeat and whipped cream. It can be frozen for up to two months.

4 egg whites 1 cup sugar 1 tsp each: vanilla essence, white vinegar 1 tbsp each: dark cocoa pow-der, cornflour Filling ¾ cup cream 2 tbsp icing sugar ¾ fruit mincemeat extra ic-ing sugar to dust

Heat the oven to 180 deg C. Lightly grease and line a 24cm x 30cm sponge roll tray with baking paper.

Beat egg whites until stiff. Gradually add sugar, beating well, until all the sugar is dissolved. Fold in vanilla essence, vinegar, cocoa powder and cornflour.

Spread the mixture evenly into the sponge roll tray. Bake for 15 minutes, until set.

Sprinkle a piece of baking paper with extra icing sugar. When the meringue log is cooked, turn onto paper. Cool.

Whip cream and 2 tablespoons of icing sugar together, until stiff. Fold in fruit mincemeat. Spread over meringue and roll up from a long edge, using the edge of the paper to help. Use a long spatula to place the roll onto a serving dish. Dust with extra icing sugar and serve with fresh berries. — Serves 6-8



Q A&DO YOU HAVE A RECIPE FORZUCCHINI SOUP?Saute 250g chopped onion in25g butter, then add 250gpeeled and diced potatofollowed by 500g roughly-chopped zucchini.

Stir-fry a fewminutesmore, then add 1 tsp saltand 2 cups chicken stock.Cover and cook 20minutesor until vegetables aretender, stir in 1 cupmilk andblend until smooth. Addmore salt if necessary plusfreshly ground black pepperand 1 tbsp chopped freshherbs, such as parsley,chives and thyme. Reheatgently, sprinklingindividual serves withgrated cheddar.

WHY DO SO MANY DISHES CALLFOR AN ONION COOKED INBUTTER BEFORE THE MAINCOOKING?

For flavour. Some recipessuggest cooking untiltender but not brown,others go on until the

onions are golden orcaramelised. Either way it’sworth it if you enjoy tastyfood. You can cut theamount of fat used bycovering the pot while youronion cooks— the lidcollects moisture thatwould normally evaporate,and by returning this to theonion, it avoids burning.

y FoodHumble spuds get a sweet fix

‘‘Whenharvested, theywerekeptexclusively forthe Incakings.

WHOwould havethought that thehumble spudwasonce regarded asboth a food and a

fashion accessory fit for royalty?Native to South America,potatoes were first cultivated bythe Incas about 200BC. The jewelin the crownwas the Peruvianpurple potato— royally purpleinside and out.When harvested,theywere kept exclusively forthe Inca kings.And in 18th-century France,

Marie Antoinette made aWorldofWearable Art-type fashionstatement by parading aroundthe countryside wearing potatoblossoms on her expensivedresses.Whenmost of us think of

packet ‘‘chips’’ we tend to thinkof fatty, salty occasional treats.But I was recently pleasantly

surprised to discover amoreishrange of proper chips— 100 percent natural, gluten-free, GMO-free and hand-cooked in high-oleic sunflower oil. Ned andMina Smith, the expatriateAmerican couple who run thefamily-style Proper Crispsoperation in Nelson, brandedtheir delights ‘‘crisps’’ todistinguish them frommass-produced ‘‘chips’’. And they are

different. I just love themcrushed and sprinkled overicecream. The rapport between

the salty tang of the chips andthe sweetness of the icecream isa taste treat.The potato is certainly

common and a staple worldwide.They are cheap, hardy and easyto grow, and are high in starch,protein and vitamins. They arealso versatile.We all love thetraditional potato favourites butthis week I’m serving upsomething funky— potatoeswith icecream, in chocolatetruffles, with squid and in agluten-free pastry.

RECIPESTOFFEE&POTATOCRISPSVANILLAICECREAMProper Crisps are delicate.Perfect for coating icecream.

Refreeze the scoops oficecream.When hard, roll in thecrushed crisps and coconut.Freeze, until ready to serve.

Tomake the toffee, placesugar and water in a large,microwave-proof glass bowl.Microwave on high for 2minutes.

Stir to dissolve sugar.Continuemicrowaving for 3-4minutes until liquid is lightgolden. Remove— the toffeewill continue to colour onstanding.

Remove icecream fromfreezer. Place inmeringuenests, if using. Drizzle withtoffee. Serve immediately.

Serves 4.

Melt1 tbsp honey in a saucepan,remove from the heat thenstir in 1 & 1/2 cups nuts (egwalnuts, blanched peanuts,almonds), plus 1/4 tsp salt.Add 1/2 tsp Chinese five-spice powder if you like,then spread the nuts in ashallow baking dish linedwith baking paper. Bake forabout 20minutes, until lightgolden brown, stirringevery 5minutes. Note thatthe nuts become crisper andless sticky once cold. Storein an airtight container.

IS ALMOND MEAL THE SAME ASGROUND ALMONDS?Yes— and in the US it’s alsoknown as almond flour.Ground almonds add to the‘‘keeping’’ qualities of acake, and help keep it moist.You can grind your ownalmonds in a foodprocessor, but there’s notmuch point when theproduct is widely available.packaged ground almondsshould keep for up to a yearif stored airtight in a cooldark place, or they can befrozen. Almonds are gluten-free, and used in some cakesto replace the flour.

Amsterdam’s ‘My Baby’ is touring and plays the Wunderbar in Lyttelton this Saturday.

The trio has been gaining notoriety worldwide for their unrelenting voodoo trance stylings combining folk, blues roots, funk and dance.

Comprising Joost van Dyck, sister Cato van Dyck, and NZ guitarist Daniel ‘Da Freez’ Johnson, My Baby released their debut album My Baby Love Voodoo at the end of 2013.
