Jim owns ‘more kites than anyone in NZ’ 

If you’ve seen kites flying 

over New Brighton beach, 

chances are one of them 

belongs to Jim Nicholls. 

For the last 11 years, Mr 

Nicholls has been collecting 

and flying “hundreds” of kites 

and sharing his passion for 

them with others. 

Last month, the 78-yearold 

Parklands resident 

received a Coastal-Burwood 

Community Service Award 

for his contribution. 

“I have more kites than 

anyone in New Zealand, for 

sure,” he said.

issue 

• By Matt Slaughter 

THE BATTLE for the Burwood 

Ward rages on. 

This time it’s over a call from 

Parklands residents to repair the 

Inwoods Rd end of Mairehau Rd. 

Mairehau Rd neighbours Grant 

Donnell and Terry Marsh said 

Burwood Ward city councillor 

Glenn Livingstone has not done 

enough to help them get the road 

fixed. 

Now Burwood Ward city 

council candidate Phil Mauger, 

who is trying to oust Cr 

Livingstone in October’s local 

body elections, is questioning why 

the road has not been repaired. 

“Glenn, sadly, he’s not jumping 

up and down enough to get the 

money spent in the east,” said 

Mr Mauger, who owns Maugers 

Contracting Ltd. 

However, Cr Livingstone said 

the comments were “not fair at 

all” as he has been asking for 

Mairehau Rd to be fixed for some 

time.

Opportunity missed over toilets 

Local

In Brief 

Fire rages, homes at risk 


PEOPLE WITH mobility 

issues will have to wait for toilet 

facilities to be built closer to the 

Taiora: QE II Recreation and 

Sport Centre’s hydrotherapy 

pool. 

Coastal-Burwood Community 

Board member Linda Stewart 

and concerned 

pool user Aileen 

Trist say the 

city council 

has missed an 

opportunity to 

use some of the 

$220,000 left 

Linda 

Stewart 

over from the 

construction of 

the complex on 

new facilities at the pool. 

“The left over money went into 

[the city council] metropolitan 

fund, so it’s gone from the 

east, and now I’ve asked our 

governance manager to find out 

how we can get it back,” said Ms 

Stewart. 

Said city council head of 

recreation, sports and events 

Nigel Cox: “[City council] staff 

don’t have the delegation to 

increase the approved scope of 

a project. It is normal practice 

once a project is completed for 

any under-spend to be returned 

to council and reallocated in

“Staff are currently working

“the next two years.” 

Mrs Trist, who raised the 

original concerns about the 

hydrotherapy pool with the 

community board, said she was 

“disgusted” the leftover funds 

had not been used to build more 

accessible toilet facilities. 

“That is a smack in the face 

for the people with health issues 

and disabilities that they had 

money there to do that and 

didn’t do it, she said. 

“These people are being 

discriminated against.” 

Mrs Trist previously told 

Pegasus Post her husband 

Tony, who is paralysed down 

his left side, was almost left 

embarrassed trying to get to the 

toilet facilities in the past. 

She said two years was too 

long for people like Tony to 

wait for more accessible toilet 

facilities to be built. “That’s 

two or three years too late. You 

know, like, it’s going to happen, 

but meanwhile, that should have 

been on the original plan.” 

Said Ms Stewart: “To 

me, it’s a health and safety 

issue, it’s not something that 

should wait two or three years. 

We should provide for the 

disabled community as soon as 

we can.”

DONNELL SPORTS PARK 

Construction is under way on

on the weather. 

POTHOLES FIXED 

The main pot holes at the 

entrance to Bexley Park have

Veterinary practice 

Dr Steve works his magic again… 

“CoCo” is a three year old speyed bunny 

- a very loved and adored pet who 

recently underwent Bilateral Cataract 

Surgery. This surgery was a first for 

Steve who did his research prior to the 

operation. He has operated many times 

on dogs, cats and even a hawk but not 

a rabbit. 

head end of the patient is impossible. 

Expertise and experience with rabbit 

anaesthetics is essential when your 

surgery may last one to two hours. Often 

they require you to ventilate for them, 

they must be kept warm, hydrated and 

constant recordings of blood pressure 

need to be recorded. 

Straight away Coco was placed on 

intravenous fluids, had blood taken 

(no kidney or liver compromise was 

seen) and was allowed to snack 

on veggies and hay before her GA. 

Prior to her anaesthetic she was 

supplemented with oxygen to 

increase oxygen concentration in 

UP AND AWAY: Jim 

Nicholls owns kites of 

all different shapes and 

sizes, including this 

teddy bear, which he 

flies at New Brighton 

beach. 

Coco was having real difficulty finding 

her food bowls and manoeuvring 

around outside. She had always 

loved charging around outside with 

the other rabbits. Her cataracts had 

developed fast in approximately 

two months, the right eye more 

mature than the left eye. Cataracts in 

rabbits can be congenital, traumatic, 

metabolic as in diabetes, inflammatory 

secondary to uveitis or infectious, as in 

the case of E Cuniculi. Coco was being 

treated for E Cuniculi, which is a parasite 

ingested and eliminated in the urine. 

This parasite causes inflammation in the 

lens and a capsular cataract can develop, 

leading to uveitis and sometimes 

glaucoma. It is painful and the rabbits 

will often scratch at the eye. 

Coco was referred to Steve and her 

primary vet and nurse came over to 

monitor Coco’s anaesthetic. Rabbits 

on the whole are difficult patients to 

monitor under anaesthetic due to 

their size and eye surgeries are difficult 

anyway because monitoring the 

the blood. Once anaesthetised she was 

hooked up to a blood pressure monitor 

and pulsoximeter (measuring her oxygen 

saturation in the blood) and positioned 

for cataract surgery. 

The surgery went really well with Steve 

removing the crystalline lenses in both 

eyes. A Cataract is a lens opacity and is 

due to the loss of architecture of the lens 

or capsule fibres. To us the lens appears 

cloudy (the lens is in the middle of the 

eye). The cataract is then sucked out with 

a phacoemulsification machine. This 

machine vibrates, cuts and vacuums the 

cataract out. If all goes well, the visual 

axis is clear and vision is restored. 

So far so good. Steve has frequently 

checked her eyes and Coco can 

visually see well out both her eyes, her 

intraocular pressures are good, she is 

comfortable and happier now her ocular 

world has opened up again. 

I think its brilliant Coco’s owner gave her 

a chance at restored sight. The other 

option would have been removing the 

eyes, as the uveitis and glaucoma could 

have been too painful for her to live with. 

For any questions on cataract 

surgeries please contact Steve 

directly at McMaster & Heap Vet 

Practice. He has just invested in a 

new phacoemulsification machine so 

hopefully will get to test drive it soon.

Encouraging 

kids to fly kites 

•From page 1 

His love of kites has seen 

him become a fixture at 

community events across 

the east, including the 

annual Kite Day at New 

Brighton beach. 

He said he enjoys getting 

out and showing people 

how great kite-flying can 

be. 

“One of the things I do 

is try to encourage other 

people to fly, and especially 

children. I’ve given away 

lots and lots of kites over 

the years in an effort to 

encourage children to fly 

because I think it’s a great 

thing. It gets them outside 

and gives something of 

interest to do other than 

sitting in front of a screen 

all day.” 

Mr Nicholls also has 

a YouTube channel with 

more than 1000 videos 

devoted to kites, which 

is watched by 3000 

subscribers from all over 

the world. 

He says what started off 

as an interest turned into 

much more after he first 

attended Kite Day. 

“I attended one . . . there 

was a stall on the beach 

selling kites and I thought, 

oh, I’ll get one and have a 

go. 

“I just loved the feeling so 

much of having this kite up 

in the air that I decided to 

buy another one and then

• Community Board 

another and another and it 

just sort of snowballed and 

it just became a bit of an 

addiction.” 

Mr Nicholls said the cold 

weather hardly ever puts 

him off flying his kites and 

not even the aftershocks 

from the 2011 earthquake 

stopped him. 

“I kept going right 

through the earthquakes. I 

was often the only person 

down the beach because 

the beach was shaking too 

much sometimes. 

“The pure enjoyment of 

being outside and having 

kites up in the air on a nice

There’s nothing better I

Work on clock tower 

starts ticking along 


THE NEW Brighton clock tower 

repairs have started. 

The work is expected to take 

about six months. 

It was supposed to start in 

September but was delayed after 

a detailed investigation revealed 

more damage and overdue 

maintenance-related issues than 

expected. 

City council manager of capital 

delivery community Darren 

Moses said the contractors were 

on site last week removing some 

of the old concrete from the 

dome area at the top of the clock. 

Said Mr Moses: “Reinforcing 

will be repaired and replaced. 

The dome will be propped and 

measures put in place to protect 

the historic newspapers lining 

the under-side of the dome.” 

The repair work will also 

involve the replacement of two 

internal floors, which have 

significant cracks. 

“The project team will take the 

opportunity to address access 

into each floor and ensure it is 

made safe,” said Mr Moses. 

The structure will be repainted 

in the original colours it featured 

when it was first built in 1934 – 

green, sand and ochre. 

“The lead paint has been 

removed from the entire surface, 

exposing the original multicoloured 

plaster finish,” he said. 

Said Mr Moses: “If possible 

the project team will also look 

at alternative ways to mount the 

clock mechanisms within the 

tower to minimise vibrations. 

Vibrations from earthquakes 

have been a cause of the clocks 

showing the incorrect time over 

the years.” 

Other repair work will involve 

fixing drainage issues around the 

dome, the application of concrete 

and corrosion treatments to the 

entire structure and upgrading 

electrical wiring before the tower 

is plastered and painted. 

The clock tower will be 

fixed at the same time as the 

Scarborough clock tower. 

JOB’S ON: Vincent Fuentes 

was hard at work on the New 

Brighton clock tower repairs 

last week. 


Tension between candidates over Mairehau Rd repairs 

FED UP: Grant Donnell and Terry Marsh want the city council to fix the 

potholes on Mairehau Rd. 


•From page 1 

“I’ve constantly raised this at 

[Coastal-Burwood] community 

board level. I’ve called on [city 

council] staff to come back with a 

date for the transport team to report 

to the community board on both 

this and other roads in the Burwood 

and Coastal wards,” he said. 

Said city council head of transport 

operations manager Steffan Thomas: 

“The resurfacing of this section 

of Mairehau Rd is currently still 

programmed for the 2021 financial 

year. However, we continually 

review our programme and this may 

change depending on its condition 

relative to other streets across the 

city.” 

Cr Livingstone has asked city 

council staff to repair this section of 

Mairehau Rd before 2021. 

Mr Donnell and Mr 

Marsh said their houses are being 

shaken and damaged by trucks 

and heavy vehicles driving through 

potholes on Mairehau Rd. 

In response to a Pegasus Post 

article about the damage, Cr 

Livingstone asked the city council to 

prioritise the repair of the road and 

consider reducing the speed limit to 

mitigate further damage. 

The city council recently decided 

Cr Livingstone’s request to lower 

the 50km/h speed limit along the 

stretch of road wasn’t necessary. 

Mr Mauger believes repairing 

Mairehau Rd would be a simple job 

and says Cr Livingstone has not 

pushed hard enough to get it started. 

“It has to be done through the 

right processes, but it could be done 

very easily and there’s no reason 

why it can’t be done tomorrow if 

they make the money available,” 

said Mr Mauger. 

Cr Livingstone said it was not this 

easy. 

“I totally understand people want 

the roads fixed yesterday . . . but, 

there are many, many wheels in this. 

It is a marathon, not a sprint.” 

Mr Donnell says it has cost 

$10,000-$15,000 to repair the 

damage to his house, and it has 

worsened since he last spoke to 

Pegasus Post.

GIFTED: Te Pou 

Toetoe Linwood 

Pool has been 

chosen as 

the name for 

Linwood’s new 

$22 million pool 

complex, which 

is set to open in 

late 2021. 

Name for planned Linwood pool 

TE NGĀI Tūāhuriri has gifted 

a special name to Linwood’s 

planned $22 million pool 

complex. 

The community facility will 

be known as Te Pou Toetoe: 

Linwood Pool, and is set to open 

in late 2021. 

City council head of recreation, 

sports and events Nigel Cox said 

the name reflects both the local 

environment and the passing of 

knowledge. 

“The term pou is a reference to 

both the building itself, and to 

the way we pass knowledge from 

person to person and generation 

to generation,” Mr Cox said. 

“The toetoe comes from the 

clusters of toetoe and vegetation 

originally found in the area on 

the sand dunes near Ihutai (the 

estuary).” 

The concept designs for the 

pool were approved by the 

Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board in May 

following extensive community 

engagement. 

The planned facility will be 

adjacent to Linwood Park and 

include a multi-use 25m lane 

pool, which will feature a deepwater 

area, a family spa pool, 

learn to swim pool and a pool for 

toddlers, complete with a water 

deck. 

Community meeting rooms 

and a kitchen are also part of the 

design. 

“Food has traditionally been a 

great reason for people to connect 

socially, and the bookable kitchen 

will be a major point of difference 

that Te Pou Toetoe has for the 

community. When integrated 

with our outdoor gathering area 

and picnic tables, the kitchen will 

let the community come together 

to prepare and eat food in a way 

you don’t always get in a public 

space.” 

The outdoor community 

space will connect the facility 

to Linwood Park and include a 

picnic tables, tennis and multiuse 

courts and cycle stands. 

Libraries celebrate 160 

years with exhibition 

of rare memorabilia 

WHEN Christchurch residents 

borrowed their first books from 

a library, it was from a single 

room on High St in 1859. 

Now, the 160th birthday of 

Christchurch City Libraries 

is being celebrated with 

the exhibition 

Illuminate: 

Unearthing 

Treasures from our 

Collection, which 

opened on Saturday 

in the Southbase 

Gallery at Tūranga. 

It will run until 

October 27. 

The exhibition 

features rare 

books, including 

An Account of a 

Voyage Around 

the World, by James 

Cook, published 

in 1773; original New Zealand 

artworks, historic maps, vintage 

posters from the 1970s and 

1980s, including some printed 

by record label Flying Nun and 

a typescript of catalogue of the 

Universe by Margaret Mahy. 

Library branches around 

the city will also mark the 

anniversary with displays 

of historic photographs and 

Carolyn Robertson 

memorabilia. 

City council head of libraries 

Carolyn Robertson said the 

importance of libraries has 

grown hugely over the past 160 

years. 

“It’s amazing to think that 

libraries have been 

serving local people 

for so long. In those 

early days books 

were all people 

could borrow, but 

today’s libraries are 

a source of so much 

information across 

many different 

platforms, as well as 

being home to a huge 

range of programmes 

and events.” 

“Regardless 

of changes in 

technology, 

libraries have always been a 

place to inspire knowledge, 

foster creativity, challenge 

our curiosity and meet other 

people,” she said. 

“This anniversary is a great 

opportunity to celebrate that 

role. Illuminate is all about 

showing how libraries can 

open our eyes, and bring new 

information to light.”

Volunteer awarded for keeping 

Banks Avenue School beautiful 


BANKS AVENUE School 

volunteer Margaret Edmonds 

has been recognised with a Keep 

Christchurch Beautiful award. 

The 62-year-old Burwood 

resident has been volunteering 

at the school for about five years. 

Her husband Murray was also 

the caretaker. 

Mrs Edmonds plants gardens 

and maintains them. She also 

helps pupils to bake in the staff 

kitchen. 

Said Mrs Edmonds: “I enjoy 

the kids, I really enjoy the kids 

. . . they’re just so enthusiastic 

when they come up for 

mentoring, they just love the 

time they have with you, they 

love to show off what they’ve 

done. 

“I think it actually brightens 

everyone up, too, to have flowers 

in the gardens and see . . . an 

extra somebody working in the 

gardens.” 

She said the award was a 

surprise. 

“I didn’t expect an award. I 

mean, it was quite lovely to get 

one, it really was . . . there’s so 

many people who do so much 

around the place . . . I just enjoy 

the kids and the atmosphere and

Construction on last 

section of the Avon 

Loop to start this year 

WORK ON the final section of 

the Avon Loop is expected to 

start later this year. 

The section is on Oxford 

Tce between Kilmore St and 

Fitzgerald Ave. The area has been 

closed to traffic for years due to 

earthquake damage and most of 

the properties have 

been removed. 

The loop will 

connect the recently 

completed City 

Promenade to any 

future developments 

in the residential red 

zone. 

Ōtākaro Ltd is 

in the process of 

completing the design 

for the final section and seeking 

tenders for its construction. 

“The loop has become 

incredibly popular with 

pedestrians and dog walkers and 

this work will make the area a 

safer, more pleasant place to be,” 

said Ōtākaro chief executive John 

Bridgman. 

“A smooth, safe pathway 

for pedestrians and cyclists, 

boardwalk, canoe/kayak ramp, 

native planting and new lighting 

John Bridgman 

will be incorporated into the 

area, along with some car 

parking,” he said. 

“People will be able to walk, 

bike or scooter along the Avon 

River all the way from the health 

precinct, past the Canterbury 

Earthquake National Memorial, 

the terraces, Te Pae 

Christchurch Convention 

Centre, Victoria Square 

and the Margaret Mahy 

Family Playground, right 

through to Fitzgerald 

Ave. 

“It will be a significant 

asset for the city as an 

alternative transport 

route, or as somewhere 

to take visitors to 

Christchurch,” said Mr 

Bridgman. 

The design for the Avon 

Loop has been developed with 

input from the city council and 

Matapopore Charitable Trust to 

ensure the cultural significance 

of the area is respected. 

The cost, and start and finish 

dates, for the Avon Loop work 

will be determined in the coming 

months, when a main works 

contractor is appointed.

Haeata student’s speech 

earns her a scholarship 


HAEATA Community Campus’ 

Taiaopo Tuilaepa has won the 

FAGASA Samoan National 

Speech Competition. 

The year 13 student was 

awarded a three-year scholarship 

at Otago University for her 

efforts. Year 10 student Cattleya 

Fruean finished fourth at the 

event in Auckland. 

“I’m so proud of myself 

because I hadn’t done it before, 

it’s my first time,” said Taiaopo. 

“I didn’t want to go to the 

university, I wanted to go to 

ARA and study to be a Samoan 

teacher. And then, surprise, I’m 

going to the university, Otago 

University,” 

Competitors gave speeches on 

the theme of weaving together an 

environment for a better future 

and the differences between 

Samoa and New Zealand. 

“There are three key points, 

the first one is life in Samoa, life 

in New Zealand and differences 

about the school back in Samoa 

and the school here,” Cattleya 

said. 

“The difference in Samoa is 

there’s only one teacher and 

like 30 kids . . . it’s been a big 

challenge for me . . . in Samoa I 

didn’t speak English,” she said. 

Cattleya said she had enjoyed 

taking part in the competition. 

“At first, I didn’t know that 

I could complete the speech 

competition but I gave it a try. I 

felt nervous at first but I got used 

to it.” 

Taiaopo said the competition 

was an opportunity to share her 

culture with others. 

“It’s good because other people 

don’t know Samoan culture. I’m 

so proud of my culture and my 

language, because it’s my first

Both Cattleya and Taiaopo

They earned 16 NCEA level

Whiz kids gather for 

ODT quiz challenge 

• By Claire Booker 

MORE THAN 200 

current events whizzes 

put pen to paper at the 

Otago Daily Times Extra! 

Canterbury quiz at 

Cobham Intermediate. 

Pupils from across the 

region formed teams 

of three on Tuesday 

and were tested with 

questions including who 

am I, what am I, New 

Zealand places, around 

the world mapping and 

famous faces. 

Tai Tapu School won 

the year 5 and 6 section 

with 82 points out of a 

possible 100. 

Closely following in second 

was Fendalton Open-Air School, 

which was only two points 

behind the champions with 80. 

Prebbleton School secured 

third with a score of 79. 

Tai Tapu champions Ethan 

Garrett-Burke, 9, Edward Bull,10, 

and Caleb O’Leary, 10, were 

pleasantly pleased with their win. 

Edward said he “didn’t like 

the faces” questions, but the 

team enjoyed the challenges. 

North Loburn School won the 

year 7 and 8 quiz with 89 points. 

William Hassall, 12, Charley 

Ward, 13, and Harry Witt, 12, 

said they were happy to win the 

quiz, but “it wasn’t planned.” 

“The newspaper was the 

hardest part,” Charley said. 

PEGASUS POST 

WINNERS: Tai Tapu School year 5 

and 6 pupils Ethan Garrett-Burke, 9, 

Edward Bull, 10, and Caleb O’Leary, 10, 

were stoked with their win. 

The teams had to find answers 

to questions from an Otago Daily 

Times newspaper, which caught 

them off guard. 

Two Hillview Christian School 

teams took second and third with 

88 and 87 points. Extra! editor 

Tricia Rowe was pleased the 

event went smoothly. 

“The year 7 and 8 group were 

really lively, which made the quiz 

go fast,” she said. “The lead up to 

the event has been stressful, with 

balancing writing papers and 

writing the quizzes, but I’ve got a 

really good team.” 

The quiz was run by the 

Otago Daily Times through 

Extra! – its monthly Newspapers 

in Education publication for 

primary, intermediate and junior 

secondary school pupils. 

420 new trees planted 

at wetland in an hour 

GREEN: School students and community members planted 

trees at Travis Wetland Nature Heritage Park. 


ABOUT 80 people have planted 

420 trees at Travis Wetland 

Nature Heritage Park. 

Community members and 

students from Shirley Boys’ High 

School, Rangi Ruru Girls’ School 

and Christ’s College made light 

work of the job, planting the trees 

in about an hour. 

The event was organised by the 

Eco-Action Nursery Trust. 

Trustee David Newton said for 

the students involved “they’re all 

trees that they’ve participated in 

growing.” 

“We propagate and send out 

nursery kits to satellite nurseries 

at different schools and then 

school students at those 

schools pot them up from small 

seedling size to the larger pots, 

keep them growing for a year and 

then participate in planing them 

out.” 

The planting session finished 

with biscuits and a brief chat 

about service to the community 

and carbon sequestration, a 

process where carbon dioxide is 

removed from the atmosphere 

and held in solid or liquid form.

Tahlia earns 

her way 

to national 

honours 

• By Jacob Page 

COASTAL SPIRIT’S Tahlia 

Herman-Watt says missing out 

on the New Zealand under-20 

team 12 months ago only 

intensified her desire to make it 

this year. 

The 18-year-old defender, who 

is studying sports coaching at 

Canterbury University, was one 

of the last names cut, but she 

used the experience to motivate 

her in 2019. 

“It was sad to miss out at the 

time because I gave it everything 

but it probably makes this feeling 

even better.” 

The team will head to the OFC 

under-19 championship at the 

end of this month in the Cook 

Islands. 

The tournament will take place 

from 29 August to 14 September 

with New Zealand being drawn 

in Group B with Samoa, American 

Samoa and Tahiti. 

The winner of the tournament 

will qualify for the 2020 FIFA 

U-20 Women’s World Cup as the 

OFC representatives.

High School student, who 

started her football career as a

five-year-old at Amberley, said 

she had worked on her attacking 

game over the past 12 months. 

“Playing at fullback, there’s a 

lot of organisation that needs to 

be done but also a bit of attacking 

and that’s something I think has 

got better over time.” 

She will start her fourth 

year with the Mainland Pride 

women’s premier team and she 

praised current coach Alana 

Gunn and former Pride coach 

Mike Di Bono as being influential 

in her progression. 

“Gunny has been a big part of 

who I am today, when she asked 

me to come to Coastal (three 

years ago), I jumped at it - I didn’t 

need to think twice.” 


Coastal Spirit defender balances 

education with his Olympic goal 

• By Jacob Page 

COASTAL SPIRIT defender 

Sean Liddicoat will shift his 

attention back to his civil 

engineering degree before 

trying to make the New Zealand 

under-23 team for their Olympic 

qualification campaign. 

The 22-year-old, who lives in 

Marshland, has returned from 

the Pacific Games in Samoa, 

where New Zealand won gold. 

They defeated New Caledonia 

2-1 in the final. 

“I think it was a great 

achievement. It was certainly 

more physical than what we are 

used to and a definite step up on 

the club stuff in New Zealand, 

but it was a good challenge,” 

Liddicoat said. 

The Brunei-born defender 

said the heat and tricky underfoot 

conditions provided some 

challenges, as did playing 

matches with only one day off in 

between. 

“Physically it was demanding, 

conditions could get quite boggy. 

It was hot and we played a fair 

few games in a short amount of 

time, which took some getting 

used to.” 

The team will have the 

ideal preparation for their 

bid to qualify for the 2020 

Tokyo Olympics by taking on 

Australia in two matches next 

month.

will meet the Australia under-23s 

in New South Wales, shortly 

before heading to Fiji for the

tournament. 

The games against Australia 

will take place at Wollongong 

on September 6 and at 

Campbelltown three days later. 

PEGASUS POST 

The Olympic qualifying 

tournament will be held in 

Fiji from September 21 to 

October 5. 

Before Liddicoat focuses on 

his football goals, he said he 

will prioritise his final year 

of an engineering degree at 

Canterbury University.

Simple ways to cut back on the calories 

Making a simple swap from 

pastry to a tortilla wrap 

instantly brings down the 

calories. Filled with fresh 

ingredients, these samosas 

and simple chicken curry 

recipes are a great way to 

eat well and lose weight 

Samosas 

Makes 6 

Prep time 10min 

Cooking time 15min 

Ingredients 

2 medium potatoes, peeled and 

diced into 1cm pieces 

75g frozen peas 

Low-calorie cooking spray 

½ onion, diced 

1 garlic clove, crushed 

1 tsp grated root ginger 

Generous pinch of chilli powder 

½ tsp ground coriander 

¼ tsp ground cumin 

¼ tsp ground turmeric 

½ tsp garam masala 

30g spinach 

Juice of ½ lemon 

Sea salt 

3 low-calorie tortilla wraps, cut 

in half 

1 egg, beaten 

Fresh coriander, to serve 

Directions 

Cook the diced potatoes in a 

pan of boiling salted water for 

5min, then drain. Cook the peas 

in boiling salted water and drain. 

Heat the oven to 200 deg C 

(fan 180 deg C) and line a baking 

tray with some greaseproof 

paper or baking paper. 

Spray a pan with some lowcalorie 

cooking spray and place 

over a medium heat. Add the 

onion, garlic and ginger and 

cook for 3-4min until softened 

but not browned, then add the 

spices and cook for another 

minute. Stir in the cooked potato 

and mash it slightly with a fork 

or the back of a spoon before 

adding the uncooked spinach, 

lemon juice and peas. Add a 

pinch of salt and stir. 

Brush the edges of the halved 

wraps with the beaten egg. Fold 

each half into a cone shape and 

seal the edge, leaving the top 

open to add the filling. 

Divide the filling equally 

between the wraps, being careful 

not to overfill them (if you do, 

you will not be able to seal them 

properly). 

Brush the open end of the 

wraps with some more beaten 

egg, leave for 30-40sec, until it 

becomes tacky, then press the 

edges together firmly. ] 

You can use a fork to do this, 

but be careful not to rip the 

wrap. Arrange the samosas on 

the tray. 

Brush each samosa with plenty 

of beaten egg, make sure the 

edges are sealed, then place in 

the oven for 10min, or until they 

are golden brown. 

Remove from the oven and 

serve warm. You can also 

allow to cool, wrap in baking 

parchment and freeze for 

another day. 

Super simple chicken curry 

Serves 4 

Prep time 5min 

Cooking time 30min 

Ingredients 

Low-calorie cooking spray 

1 large onion, sliced 

450g chicken breast (skin and 

visible fat removed), diced 

3 garlic cloves, crushed 

400ml water 

3 Tbsp curry powder 

1 Tbsp ground turmeric 

1 Tbsp tomato puree 

Sea salt and freshly ground black 

pepper 

To serve (optional) 

Samosas (see previous recipe) 

Cooked rice 

Ingredients 

Spray a large frying pan with 

low-calorie cooking spray and 

place over a medium heat. 

Add the onion and cook for 

2min until softened slightly, 

then add the diced chicken to 

the pan and cook for 5min until 

browned. 

Add the garlic to the pan and 

cook for 1min, then add all the 

other ingredients. The water 

should just about cover the 

chicken – you may need a little 

more or less depending on the 

size of your pan. 

Leave to simmer gently for 

20min. 

Turn the heat up and boil the 

curry for another 5min, stirring 

frequently to ensure it doesn’t 

catch on the bottom of the pan, 

this will reduce and thicken the 

sauce slightly. 

Serve the curry with your 

choice of accompaniment. 

Tip: This curry recipe works 

well with lean diced lamb (all 

visible fat removed) too.

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS 

Specialists advise a vehicle 

check before winter sets in 

Winter weather can present a range of tricky driving conditions 

for motorists – from wet, slippery roads and heavy frosts to fog 

and driving rain. That’s why it is important to make sure your 

vehicle is in tip-top shape and ready to deal with these hazards 

before winter really sets in. 

The team at Roses Auto Electrical in Cranford Street recommends 

checking that your lights and windscreen wipers are in working 

order, and to ensure your vehicle will start on cold mornings they 

offer free battery and alternator and starter tests, and free battery 

fitting. 

Their well-equipped workshop includes specialised diagnostic 

equipment designed to find any faults with vehicles’ electronics, air 

bags or ABS braking system, which the qualified and experienced 

auto electrical specialists will repair quickly and efficiently. 

Roses Auto Electrical provides full electrical services for all 

makes and models of European, Japanese and light commercial 

vehicles. Any time a warning light flashes up on the dashboard, 

they advise calling into their workshop to have it checked out. 

Roses Auto Electrical has been in business for more than 20 years, 

and the workshop team are constantly updating their knowledge 

with industry training, as well as having the latest state-of-the-art 

equipment in the workshop. 

The customer comes first for the friendly, professional team at 

Roses Auto Electrical, and motorists having their vehicle serviced 

there can have confidence in its performance and safety, especially 

with the cold weather approaching when driving is often more 

hazardous. 

Roses Auto Electrical is located at 518 Cranford Street, 

Papanui. Phone 352 5090 to book in for service or repairs, 

or visit their website www.roseselectrical.co.nz for more 

information.
