Frame to line up against<br />
Tour De France winner<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
FORMER CASHMERE High<br />
School student Alex Frame will<br />
take on the world’s best cyclist<br />
next month.<br />
The 23-year-old will go up<br />
against current Tour De France<br />
champion Chris Froome, who<br />
will ride for Team Sky at the<br />
Herald Sun Tour in Victoria,<br />
Australia. The strong international<br />
field also includes<br />
Columbia’s Esteban Chaves who<br />
finished second overall in last<br />
year’s Giro d’Italia.<br />
Frame is part of the six man<br />
JLT-Condor team that will compete<br />
in the tour from February<br />
1-5.<br />
Frame will be disappointed<br />
with his 18th place finish at<br />
the national men’s road race<br />
championship in Napier at the<br />
weekend, however, he can now<br />
turn his attention to riding with<br />
some of the world’s best across<br />
the Tasman.<br />
Frame attended Cashmere<br />
between 2007 and 2011 before<br />
pursuing a professional cycling<br />
career.<br />
In 2015 he was part of the<br />
New Zealand team that won<br />
a gold medal in the men’s<br />
4000m team pursuit at the UCI<br />
Track World Championships in<br />
Paris.<br />
Last year Frame won the final<br />
BIG CHALLENGE: Alex Frame will go up against current Tour de France champion Chris<br />
Froome at next month’s Herald Sun Tour in Australia. Inset: Chris Froome.<br />
stage of the tour of Southland<br />
and finished runner-up on two<br />
other stages.<br />
Frame’s JLT-Condor team<br />
features Australian sprinter<br />
Brenton who is regarded as<br />
one of his country’s up and<br />
coming riders with seven wins<br />
to his name already including<br />
the New Zealand Cycle Classic<br />
in 2014. Ian Bibby, Edmund<br />
Bradbury, James Gullen, Steve<br />
Lampier and Alistair Slater all<br />
of Great Britain make up the<br />
team.<br />
The tour will begin with a<br />
2.1km prologue time trial in<br />
Melbourne.<br />
Centre’s<br />
$60,000<br />
target<br />
reached<br />
for new<br />
garage<br />
• By Caitlin Miles<br />
ROWLEY RESOURCE Centre has<br />
finally hit its funding target to get<br />
the garage rebuilt meaning more<br />
activities will be available.<br />
The centre needed between<br />
$50,000-$60,000 to rebuild the garage<br />
to allow for activities to move<br />
out of the main building, which<br />
centre manager Donna McAleer<br />
said is vital.<br />
In November 2015 the centre<br />
shifted to its current site on Rowley<br />
Ave and while the building could<br />
be used, the garage couldn’t due<br />
to earthquake damage. As a result<br />
they had to cut back on the amount<br />
of activities on offer due to the lack<br />
of space.<br />
“We noticed our numbers start<br />
to decline because there wasn’t a lot<br />
of quiet space for people to come<br />
and talk due to the activities having<br />
to be inside,” Ms McAleer said.<br />
Since the move, the centre has<br />
been fundraising to try and get<br />
the garage rebuilt. Grants from<br />
various organisations and groups<br />
have played a part in beating the<br />
$60,000 target.<br />

THE WORLD is your oyster if you<br />
are a young sporting talent, and<br />
former Cashmere High School<br />
student Alex Frame is making the<br />
most of his.<br />
The 23-year-old will go up<br />
against current Tour De France<br />
champion Chris Froome in Australia<br />
next month (see page 1).<br />
Frame is part of the six man JLT-<br />

the tour from February 1-5, while<br />
Froome will ride for Team Sky.<br />
Also on page 1 today we have<br />
some more good news – the<br />
Rowley Resource Centre has raised<br />
enough money to get its garage<br />
rebuilt.<br />
This is a big deal for the Hillmorton<br />
area; the centre is a well<br />
patronised organisation and the<br />
garage has been the focal point of<br />
its activities.<br />
So well done all for a great fundraisng<br />
effort!<br />

Sign of the Kiwi cafe returns<br />
• By Caitlin Miles<br />
AFTER NEARLY six years,<br />
the Sign of the Kiwi will reopen<br />
later this month.<br />
The building at the top of<br />
Dyers Pass Rd was closed following<br />
the September 4, 20<strong>10</strong>,<br />
earthquake. It suffered further<br />
damage on February 22, 2011.<br />
Before it was closed, it had a cafe<br />
and shop.<br />
The cafe will reopen on <strong>January</strong><br />
23 after more than $600,000<br />
in strengthening work.<br />
The Sign of the Takahe, another<br />
protected heritage building,<br />
was also closed for repair<br />
work following the February<br />
2011 earthquake. Work on the<br />
building began in 2015 and it is<br />
set to open next month.<br />
City council heritage rebuild<br />
programme manager Richie<br />
Moyle said the Sign of the Kiwi<br />
building was a piece of “old<br />
world heritage.”<br />
“The Sign of the Kiwi is a<br />
treasure of national significance,”<br />
he said.<br />
The Category 1 listed heritage<br />
building was built in 1916 and<br />
1917.<br />
During its restoration and<br />
repair work, contractors found<br />
song lyrics scrawled on the roof<br />
from an Eileen Barton song,<br />
which was released in the 1950s.<br />
The message read: “If we had<br />
of known you were coming we’d<br />
of baked a cake.”<br />
City council heritage adviser<br />
Gareth Wright said it was<br />
likely the message was written<br />
by tradespeople when they battened<br />
the roof of the Sign of the<br />
Kiwi in the 1950s.<br />
Cashmere Ward city councillor<br />
Tim Scandrett said it will be<br />
exciting to have the cafe open<br />
again so locals and visitors can<br />
take in the views.<br />
“It will be great to be able to<br />
sit up there, enjoy an ice cream<br />
and the weather, and just look at<br />
one of the best views in Canterbury,”<br />
Cr Scandrett said.<br />
OPENING: The<br />
Sign of the<br />
Kiwi cafe will<br />
reopen this<br />
month after<br />
being closed<br />

years. <strong>View</strong>s<br />

RIVER FILTER<br />
A new $1.5 million filtration<br />
system could help clean up the<br />
Heathcote River and reduce<br />
flooding in Woolston. The<br />
filtration device could reduce<br />
dissolved metals by up to 25 per<br />
cent and sediment by 40 to 50 per<br />
cent. The filtration device would<br />
be housed in the planned new<br />
pump station at Richardson Tce,<br />
due to be built in <strong>2017</strong>.<br />
ROAD CLOSURE<br />
Sparks Rd will be closed between<br />
Sutherlands Rd and Hendersons<br />
Rd from today due to the installation<br />
of the Southeast Halswell<br />
Waste Water Scheme. The road<br />
will be closed until <strong>January</strong> 29.<br />
Detours have been set up via Hendersons<br />

BOWLING CLUB SAVED<br />
The Spreydon Bowling Club<br />
won’t close down now that the<br />
Kereru Sports and Cultural Club<br />
has taken over its premises at 71<br />
Domain Tce. The Kereru club<br />
needed a new home after the<br />
building it used at Coronation<br />
Hall burnt down. The Kereru<br />
club has taken over the lease of<br />
the bowling club grounds and<br />
will maintain the bowling lawn<br />
for at least the next five years. The<br />
lawn will be available for use by<br />
bowling club members.<br />

Missing war<br />
medals still<br />
a mystery<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
WELL-KNOWN rugby league<br />
identity Bill Whitehead’s war<br />
medals are still missing in action.<br />
Mr Whitehead, of Bishopdale,<br />
approached Star Media about 12<br />
months ago to try and locate his<br />
Queen’s Service Medal and Defence<br />
Service Medal.<br />
But he is yet to hear anything<br />
about them. He gave them to a<br />
friend, but cannot remember who.<br />
They had planned to combine the<br />
medals together.<br />
The friend noticed the medals<br />
sitting on the top of Mr Whitehead’s<br />
cabinet, and said they knew “a place<br />
that could connect those together.”<br />
“I can’t for the life of me remember<br />
who it was,” Mr Whitehead said.<br />
He said he wanted to hand them<br />
on to his “heirs” and is asking<br />
anyone who may know something<br />
about the medals to get in contact.<br />
War historian Alan Polaschek<br />
said he does most of the work<br />
on medals in Canterbury, but had<br />
not seen Mr Whitehead’s medals.<br />
His QSM was presented in 1987<br />
and he was awarded his DSM for his<br />
army service from 1950-1952.<br />
If you can help Mr Whitehead<br />
recover his medals, email andrew.<br />

Church rebuild a fusion<br />
of tradition and technology<br />
• By Caitlin Miles<br />
THE REPAIRED Opawa<br />
Community Church may look<br />
like the old one but is full of new<br />
technology after a $3.5 million<br />
rebuild.<br />
The old brick Methodist<br />
church on the corner of Opawa<br />
Rd and Aynsley Tce was built<br />
in 1907. It suffered significant<br />
damage in the February 22, 2011,<br />
earthquake.<br />
The church was officially<br />
reopened on Saturday after a<br />
two-year rebuild, with members<br />
of the congregation and the<br />
community able to look at<br />
the new church and hall<br />
facilities.<br />
The roof of the church was<br />
salvaged but the rest of the<br />
building was demolished.<br />
Opawa Community Church<br />
treasurer Bruce Hille said the<br />
new building incorporated the<br />
style of the old church with<br />
modern technology.<br />
The original building’s roof,<br />
timber beams and pillars<br />
were reused, along with the<br />
rose window, which was an<br />

important aspect of the church.<br />
Mr Hille said the rebuild was<br />
undertaken with the future in<br />
mind. Broadband, projectors and<br />
cameras have been designed into<br />
the building<br />
“It’s an absolute thrill to be<br />
back in the church,” Mr Hille<br />
said.<br />
The project took nearly<br />
two years to complete and<br />
cost $3.5 million. The church<br />
congregation took out a $300,000<br />
mortgage from the Methodist<br />
Church of New Zealand to help<br />
cover some of the costs.<br />
To raise the money to cover<br />
the mortgage, members of the<br />
church held several fundraisers<br />
and author Marlene Bennetts<br />
wrote a book titled The Little<br />
Drummer Boy.<br />
She said another church<br />
member asked her to write a<br />
Christmas-inspired children’s<br />
book.<br />
Mr Hille said the congregation<br />
had so far raised $75,000<br />
towards the mortgage with more<br />
fundraisers planned.<br />
Higgs Construction was tasked<br />
with the rebuild. Mr Hille said<br />
the firm was chosen because of<br />
the work it did on Knox Church<br />
in Bealey Ave.<br />
The city council also<br />
contributed towards furniture<br />
for the new hall, which is<br />
frequently used by community<br />
groups.<br />

Margaret Urlich and<br />
Sharon O’Neill at<br />
Lincoln’s Selwyn Sounds<br />
concert in March<br />
IT HAS been a long time since<br />
we’ve heard anything new from<br />
Annie Crummer but the singer<br />
is hopeful her fans won’t have to<br />
wait too much longer.<br />
Crummer hasn’t released a full<br />
album of original material since<br />
1996’s Seventh Wave. Since then<br />
fans have had to make do with<br />
a best of collection in 2002 and<br />
three songs released in 20<strong>10</strong> as<br />
singles only.<br />
While she is reluctant to talk<br />
about release dates, she has been<br />
working on songs for an album<br />
which has a working title of Project<br />
Annie C.<br />
“I have got a bunch of songs<br />
that I am dying to get out of the<br />
demo situation and get into the<br />
studio and smash that stuff out,<br />
I’m the only one stopping me,”<br />
she said.<br />
“I’ve got a lot more to say musically,<br />
I will just have to get over<br />
myself and get on with it.”<br />
Crummer said that while she<br />
was known more as a singer than<br />
a songwriter, she had become<br />
more confident dabbling in song<br />
writing.<br />
“Melodies come really good to<br />
me but the way I write lyrics is<br />
quite odd because I am fully dyslexic<br />
so the way I explain things,<br />
I don’t think it’s the same as a<br />
non-dyslexic song writer.”<br />
Crummer only discovered she<br />
was dyslexic well into her adult<br />
years but the revelation came as a<br />
big relief.<br />
“When I look back I think: ‘Oh,<br />
I have been blessed with dyslexia,<br />
that’s all.’ I just learn things differently,”<br />
she said.<br />
“I forgave myself for feeling<br />
so dumb all these years because<br />
I left school really early and<br />
now when I look back at all the<br />
subjects I took it had nothing to<br />
do with anything technical, it all<br />
had to do with creative stuff.”<br />
Those subjects included<br />
classes on art, Maori culture and,<br />
perhaps surprisingly, typing –<br />
because she could just copy the<br />
patterns without thinking about<br />
the words.<br />
That ability to recognise patterns<br />
helped her land a leading<br />
role in the Australian version of<br />
Ben Elton’s hit musical-theatre<br />
production We Will Rock You,<br />
based on the songs of British rock<br />
band Queen, in 2003. To get the<br />
part of Killer Queen, Crummer<br />
had to audition in front of Queen<br />
guitarist Brian May and drummer<br />
Roger Taylor.<br />
“I had to learn the English phonetically<br />
and that is actually how<br />
I learn music too, I listen to where<br />
heart is needed and where anger is<br />
needed and all the emotions, I just<br />

on material for her first album<br />
of original material in two<br />
decades.<br />
emulate those inflections without<br />
really knowing what I am talking<br />
about, but I have just fooled everyone,”<br />
she said.<br />
“I can’t believe I got that role, if<br />
only they knew how I did it. But<br />
it did catch up on me a couple of<br />
times on stage where I’d fumble<br />

with Sharon O’Neill (not pictured).<br />
over a word because I didn’t fully<br />
understand it and I had to dig my<br />
way out of it, live.”<br />
She said that while the way<br />
dyslexic people figured things out<br />
might be different, the outcome<br />
could be incredible.<br />
Crummer, who lives in<br />
Auckland, said she loved that<br />
performing enabled her to travel.<br />
She always looked forward to<br />
playing with Harwood, Urlich<br />
and O’Neill, sometimes joined<br />
by Shona Laing, with the singers<br />
typically doing about three or<br />
four shows together a year.<br />
She was looking forward to<br />
reuniting with them for Selwyn<br />
Sounds.<br />
“I’m a huge fan of theirs and we<br />
have the utmost respect for each<br />
other so it’s a joy all round, a real<br />
buzz.”<br />
The concert will also feature<br />
Kiwi rock heavyweights Mi-Sex,<br />
Dragon, The Jordan Luck Band<br />
and Jason Kerrison.<br />
When she was not performing<br />
with Harwood and co or<br />
going solo, she often joined her<br />
father’s band, Will Crummer<br />
and the Rarotongans, playing<br />
songs which mostly sung in Cook<br />
Island Maori. Crummer took a<br />
more low key role in the band,<br />
playing the pahu and putting in<br />
some occasional backing vocals.<br />
She didn’t mind stepping back<br />
from the spotlight and credited<br />
her father with setting her on the<br />
path to stardom.<br />
“He gave me the gift of music,”<br />
she said.<br />
“I do count my blessings, that’s<br />
a daily ritual for me, the fact that<br />
I can do music and have never<br />
had a job.”<br />
•Selwyn Sounds will be held<br />
on March 4, from 11.30am-<br />
8.30pm. Tickets can be<br />

VICTOR CLAUDE was<br />
contracted to create a marketing<br />
campaign for Cholmondeley<br />
Children’s Centre, but that<br />
turned into more than 20 years<br />
working with the trust and<br />
children.<br />
Mr Claude received a Queen’s<br />
Service Medal in the New Year<br />
Honours for his work<br />
The Spreydon resident first became<br />
involved with the trust to<br />
make a professional advertising<br />
campaign and when he thought<br />
about his own three sons he<br />
wanted to get involved.<br />
“I couldn’t help but compare<br />
those boys to some of those kids<br />
and what they had and what they<br />
needed,” Mr Claude said.<br />
He was invited to become a<br />
board member which he did for<br />
21 years, five of which he spent<br />
as president. One of his proudest<br />
achievements was progressing<br />
the trust’s financial status.<br />
“Over the five years we made a<br />
bit of progress which was important,”<br />
he said.<br />
During his time as president<br />
Mr Claude used his own<br />
marketing company to assist<br />
with marketing for the trust,<br />
particularly in the production of<br />
its Care magazine. For his work<br />
he became a life member of the<br />
trust.<br />
He said he “had an idea”<br />
HONOURED: Victor Claude spent 21 years<br />
working with Cholmondely Children’s Trust.<br />
that he was being nominated.<br />
A childhood friend of his wife<br />
spent time in Cholmondely<br />
and when he found out that Mr<br />
Claude was involved with the<br />
trust he wanted to nominate<br />
him.<br />
“He asked if I would be okay<br />
with it and I said ‘yes’ and<br />
thought nothing of it. Then this<br />
fancy envelope turned up, it was<br />
quite a thrill,” he said.<br />
Mr Claude was required to<br />
ACCOMPLISHED: The late Graham Leslie<br />
received a Queen’s Service Medal before he<br />
passed away last month.<br />
make an advertising campaign<br />
for the Christchurch Children’s<br />
Holiday Camps Trust as well.<br />
Which is what let him to more<br />
than 30 years of work with it.<br />
The aim of the trust is to raise<br />
money to send at risk kids to<br />
camps around Christchurch.<br />
Graham Leslie also received<br />
the Queen’s Service Medal for<br />
his 46 years of service to education.<br />
He was the deputy principal<br />
at Hillmorton High School,<br />
where he had worked for his<br />
entire 46-year career. In 2015 he<br />
retired due to motor neurone<br />
disease. He received his honour<br />
before he passed away aged 73,<br />
on December 22. His award was<br />
approved by the Queen before<br />
his death, so Governor-General<br />
Dame Patsy Reddy announced<br />
his honour was changed to take<br />
effect from December 21 due to<br />
the circumstances.<br />
Mr Leslie mentored hundreds<br />
of young teachers and generations<br />
of students over his career.<br />
He was also a coach of the senior<br />
boys basketball team, running<br />
7.30am practices and Friday<br />
evening games. He introduced<br />
the computer studies department<br />
and ran community classes to<br />
help the wider community into<br />
the digital age.<br />
More than 250 former students<br />
and staff paid tribute to<br />
Mr Leslie in a function held<br />
at Hillmorton High School in<br />
December 2015 to celebrate his<br />
years of service.<br />
Hillsborough resident Geoffrey<br />
Harrow received a Queen’s<br />
Service Medal for his services to<br />
mountaineering and conservation<br />
work. He is a longstanding<br />
Forest and Bird Society member<br />
and was responsible for the<br />
rediscovery of the endangered<br />
colony of Hutton’s Shearwaters<br />
on the Kaikoura Range in 1965.<br />
Mr Harrow has worked<br />
closely with the Department of<br />
Conservation and Te Runanga<br />
o Kaikoura to create a colony<br />
for Hutton’s Shearwater on the<br />
Kaikoura Peninsula to protect<br />
this species from predation.<br />
He established the Hutton’s<br />
Shearwater Charitable Trust in<br />
2008 to raise funds to construct<br />
a predator proof fence at the<br />
colony.<br />

A NEW mountain bike<br />
track built predominantly by<br />
volunteers has opened on the<br />
Port Hills.<br />
The 3.8km route, currently<br />
called the Montgomery Spur<br />
Loop Track until it is formally<br />
named, is the first new public<br />
track to be built on the hills in<br />
about a decade.<br />
It’s the result of work by<br />
about 40 volunteers, contractors<br />
and city council staff.<br />
“It’s been 75 per cent<br />
volunteer labour, 15 per cent<br />
contracted construction and<br />
about <strong>10</strong> per cent council<br />
oversight, planning and helping<br />
to transport gear up there,”<br />
Christchurch Singletrack Club<br />
Port Hills track liaison and<br />
development officer Graham<br />
Allan said.<br />
He co-ordinated the team<br />
of volunteers who worked on<br />
the project over the past 18<br />
months. He’s been a regular<br />
volunteer, helping the city<br />
council with track maintenance<br />
on the Port Hills for <strong>10</strong><br />
years.<br />
The new track sits within<br />
Montgomery Spur Reserve<br />
on land that was mandated<br />
in 20<strong>10</strong> for a mountain bike<br />
track.<br />
It’s close to the Rapaki Track<br />
NEW: The Montgomery Spur Loop Track is the first public<br />
track to be built on the hills in about <strong>10</strong> years.<br />
but provides an additional loop<br />
that’s designed for beginner to<br />
intermediate riders.<br />
The only access to the track<br />
is from the mid-way point of<br />
the Rapaki Track, but there are<br />
plans to introduce other access<br />
points.<br />
It takes about 25 minutes<br />
to ride, but Mr Allan said the<br />
track provided a lot of variety<br />
and challenges without too<br />
much risk.<br />
“The scenery looking out<br />
over the city is amazing. It<br />
has really filled that niche of<br />
a track that helps people get<br />
from the flat lands up on to the<br />
hills because there are no steep<br />
drop-offs,” Mr Allan said.<br />
“It gives them a bit of a<br />
playground where they can ride<br />
without fear of taking a tumble<br />
because there’s nothing to fall<br />
on but tussock. We’re really<br />
pleased to see it open and being<br />
discovered and enjoyed by a<br />
wide range of riders.”

SOUTHERN VIEW<br />
Mitsubishi upgrades popular Outlander<br />
• By Ross Kiddie<br />
I KNEW the media car<br />
evaluation fleet wouldn’t escape<br />
disruption after the devastating<br />
earthquake which crippled<br />
Kaikoura.<br />
A car which I was scheduled<br />
into was trapped north of the<br />
township, and I guess it is still<br />
sitting there and will remain so<br />
until that road reopens.<br />
That is of little consequence to<br />
the loss of life and the devastation<br />
those in the area are living with<br />
every day, we Cantabrians know<br />
full well what that is like.<br />
All car manufacturers and distributors<br />
are having to re-evaluate<br />
the way they move cars through<br />
the South Island and I’m expecting<br />
more disruption to the media<br />
vehicles I have scheduled.<br />
That aside, Mitsubishi did well<br />
to keep my diary intact, a brand<br />
new Outlander sport utility<br />
vehicle was placed in my care and<br />
it filled the void until such time<br />
as the Mirage I was originally<br />
scheduled into becomes available.<br />
The Outlander has just received<br />
another major makeover; interestingly,<br />
it’s just a year or so since<br />
the last facelift. While the shell in<br />
which it arrives hasn’t changed<br />
a lot, there are a lot more safety<br />
components built into the<br />
vehicle, and it has also had engineering<br />
changes which make it<br />
more capable and better value for<br />
MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER: New safety package.<br />
money.<br />
What’s more, the newcomer<br />
is available in seven, seven-seat<br />
variants, two and four-wheeldrive,<br />
and 2-litre, 2.4-litre and<br />
2.3-litre (diesel) variants listing<br />
from $32,990 to $56,990.<br />
The test car was the entry-level<br />
LS, albeit with 4WD capability<br />
and the 2399cc engine.<br />
Even though XLS and VRX<br />
specification vehicles get a huge<br />
technology boost, mostly for<br />
safety, the LS misses out, but<br />
it still has enough safety kit to<br />
qualify for a five-star Australasian<br />
New Car Assessment Program<br />
safety rating.<br />
New features on the higher<br />
grade models include lane departure<br />
warning, blind spot warning/<br />
lane change assist and rear cross<br />
traffic alert.<br />
Elsewhere, the LS gets new 18in<br />
alloy wheels (up an inch), keyless<br />
entry and ignition, new centre<br />
console with electronic park<br />
brake, upgraded infotainment<br />
system with Android Auto and<br />
Apple Car Play, the latter aligned<br />
to a new central screen display<br />
which has deep and comprehensive<br />
graphics.<br />
The interior certainly looks<br />
fresher with the new additions,<br />
and it goes a long way towards<br />
keeping the Outlander appealing.<br />
It feels like a new SUV<br />
and, as I’ve mentioned many<br />
times before when I’ve driven<br />
Outlander, it is still a key vehicle<br />
in this very popular part of the<br />
market.<br />
Under the bonnet sits a wellproven<br />
four-cylinder petrol<br />
engine, the twin camshaft unit<br />
is rated by Mitsubishi at 126kW<br />
and 224Nm, that hasn’t changed<br />
from the previous generation<br />
model, nor has its transmission<br />

• Price – Mitsubishi<br />
Outlander LS, $43,990<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />

height, 17<strong>10</strong>mm<br />
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />

• Fuel usage – 7.2l/<strong>10</strong>0km<br />
through a continuously variable<br />
automatic gearbox.<br />
However, what has changed<br />
are the transmission mapping<br />
management protocols which<br />
provide the driver with a more<br />
fluid feel under wide throttle<br />
openings, the acceleration<br />
process is smoother and quieter.<br />
And that has always been a<br />
hallmark of the Outlander, it is<br />
a smooth and responsive vehicle<br />
to drive, and that is part of its<br />
charm, I like CVT, and the system<br />
is now just that much more<br />
intuitive.<br />
The Outlander feels even<br />
more spritely, that’s probably not<br />
reflected in a <strong>10</strong>.5sec standstill to<br />
<strong>10</strong>0km/h acceleration time, but<br />
it is no slouch all the same, and<br />
through the mid-range that big<br />
four-potter delivers good torque<br />
and associated strength.<br />
On the subject of figures, the<br />
14km<br />
Outlander is also a fuel thrifty<br />
vehicle. Mitsubishi rate it with a<br />
7.2-litre per <strong>10</strong>0km/h (39mpg)<br />
combined cycle average, and that<br />
fitted with the comprehensive<br />
trip computer display in the<br />
car, it was constantly registering<br />
around 8.8l/<strong>10</strong>0km (32mpg)<br />
with a 6l/<strong>10</strong>0km (47mpg) instantaneous<br />
reading at <strong>10</strong>0km/h<br />
(engine speed 1900rpm).<br />
I didn’t venture off-road in the<br />
test car, but I did take to a series<br />
of badly corrugated shingle roads<br />
near Hororata and can report<br />
it has spring and damper rates<br />
which absorb well the big hits,<br />
thus providing the occupants with<br />
a controlled and comfortable ride.<br />
When it comes time to<br />
tackle a quick corner or two the<br />
Outlander feels stable and strong<br />
through the steering. Body movement<br />
is noticeable, but it is well<br />
controlled.<br />
The Outlander has been a huge<br />
success story for Mitsubishi, and<br />
that level of acceptance doesn’t<br />
appear to be waning. I guess<br />
some of its appeal can be attributed<br />
to Mitsubishi’s comprehensive<br />
<strong>10</strong>-year warranty programme,<br />
but also the fact it is a versatile<br />
seven-seater which is big but not<br />
oversize.<br />
When it comes time to go full<br />
force into another generation<br />
model, Mitsubishi will be well<br />
aware the current Outlander is<br />
going to be a 14km<br />

Pine bark may support<br />
brain function<br />
Recent news from Auckland University<br />
of Technology has people excited about a<br />
pine bark extract called Enzogenol. AUT<br />
reported that patients suffering memory<br />
loss and other brain problems after a<br />
traumatic brain injury recovered better<br />
when taking Enzogenol compared to a<br />
control group.<br />
Enzogenol is not a new product, though.<br />
In fact, it was developed at Canterbury<br />
University and has been in our health<br />
food shops for over <strong>10</strong> years. According to<br />
ENZO Nutraceuticals, the company that<br />
produces the product, a number of research<br />
studies have shown how Enzogenol can<br />
help improve brain function and support<br />
healthy blood circulation.<br />
The amazing thing is, it is made from<br />
the bark of New Zealand Pinus Radiata<br />
with an extraction method that uses only<br />
purified water. Apparently, the pine bark<br />
is full of healthy plant compounds that<br />
are naturally part of our diet when we eat<br />
fruits and vegetables. Yet, the pine bark is<br />
loaded with these natural antioxidant and<br />
anti-inflammatory compounds and makes<br />
a great starting material for this health<br />
product. Keen on a chewing a bit of pine<br />
bark?<br />

All the benefits of<br />
double glazing<br />
Amazing Glazing has been going from<br />
strength to strength since it’s inception in<br />
2004. Max Dorfliger who established the<br />
business that offers specially run mouldings<br />
of Peninsula macrocarpa to secure a second<br />
pane of 4mm glass onto existing wooden<br />
frames, has recently brought Gunter Dehne<br />
into the business. Gunter, a Cabinetmaker<br />
by trade and a technology teacher for many<br />
years, was keen to be back on the tools and<br />
excited to be adding such value to people’s<br />
lives. Existing timber joinery is preserved<br />
while a home is effectively double ‐glazed.<br />
All the benefits of double ‐glazing like<br />
insulation, reduced heating cost and<br />
noise reduction are obtained, without the<br />
prohibitive cost of complete replacement.<br />
The insulation of Amazing Glazing is<br />
better than many standard double glazing<br />
solutions due to the increased air space<br />
between the panes.<br />
The dryer conditions during the summer<br />
months make this the best time to install<br />
Amazing Glazing.<br />
Frames can be oiled for a natural wood<br />
finish, or painted in the colour of your<br />
choice, to blend in with the existing look.<br />

Life is better with clearer thinking, sharper mind, healthier brain and body.<br />
Enzogenol, is a potent natural antioxidant & anti-inflammatory, produced<br />
from an extract of the New Zealand pine bark. In one study researchers<br />
concluded it can reduce the average age of the brain by 12 years in as<br />
little as 5 weeks. Studies show it can improve response time as well as<br />
long & short term memory, concentration & brain performance. Enzogenol<br />
also helps protect the body from the aging process, including supporting<br />
the cardiovascular, nervous system & improving recovery after illness.<br />
ENZO:PROFESSIONAL contains 240mg of Enzogenol + 30mg Vitamin C.<br />
It is the most potent Enzogenol formula available.<br />

The importance of<br />
good blood<br />
pressure!<br />
Aspire<br />
Canterbury<br />
Blood Pressure is an indicator of<br />
cardiovascular as well as overall health.<br />
Healthy blood flow is vital for a healthy<br />
body as the blood plasma transports<br />
nutrients, hormones, metabolic waste,<br />
oxygen and CO2 throughout the body. An<br />
area in the brain keeps check on blood flow<br />
to ensure health of all cells and the organs<br />
they make up. If blood flow is reduced the<br />
brain will try to normalise blood flow by<br />
adjusting the heart strength, frequency<br />
(Pulse Rate) as well as the width of blood<br />
vessels all via the nervous system. Over<br />
a period of time the blood pressure may<br />
keep increasing due to the deterioration<br />
of blood flow. A higher B/P is not ideal<br />
and is considered a major risk factor for<br />
strokes, aneurysm, organ failure and heart<br />
failure. Even moderate elevation of B/P is<br />
considered a major reason for shorter life<br />
expectancy. If we can maintain our B/P in<br />
the normal range our overall health will be<br />
improved. Systolic B/P (The upper figure)<br />
is when the heart contracts and pushes<br />
blood around the body. Ideally at rest this<br />
should be between <strong>10</strong>0 to 120. The diastolic<br />
B/P (The lower figure) is the pressure in the<br />
arteries between beats and ideally at rest<br />
this should be between 60 to 70.<br />
It has been found in around 90% of<br />
cases high blood pressure is caused by<br />
an increase in the resistance to blood<br />
flow in the blood vessels. It is believed<br />
inflammation and stiffness of the blood<br />
vessels are major reasons for this increased<br />
resistance. Checking our blood pressure on<br />
a regular basis allows us to adjust our diet<br />
and lifestyle and see the benefits in our B/P<br />
readings.<br />
Blood Pressure monitors and further<br />
information on how to improve your<br />
overall health and B/P naturally is<br />
available from the natural health advisers<br />
