Exploring greatness<br />
• By Noah Graham<br />
HILLVIEW Christian School’s<br />
biennial production is exploring<br />
the idea of greatness while<br />
highlighting a traditional<br />
New Zealand tale.<br />
The show Invitation will<br />
boast 63 year 7 to 10 pupils<br />
and will emphasise grace,<br />
forgiveness and love through<br />
three different stories.<br />
The three stories portray<br />
an overarching message of<br />
how every person is invited<br />
to greatness but will often<br />
miss the opportunity because<br />
it could be through someone<br />
we love, a problem to solve or<br />
a job to be done – something<br />
human’s tend to overlook,<br />
music teacher and co-director<br />
of the show, Philippa Becker<br />
said.<br />
Mrs Becker said she was codirecting<br />
the show with the school’s<br />
drama teacher, Xanda Eves, and it will<br />
feature a variety of singing, dancing<br />
and drama.<br />
•The show will be performed<br />
on <strong>April</strong> 11 and 12 in the<br />
school’s gymnasium with<br />
tickets available from the<br />
school’s office.<br />

• By Noah Graham<br />
THE CITY council needs to<br />
stop changing its mind for the<br />
problematic Cracroft intersection,<br />
Westmorland Residents<br />
Association chairman Bill<br />
Kingston says.<br />
Mr Kingston said he was<br />
frustrated city council kept<br />
delaying its plans for the Hoon<br />
Hay, Cashmere and Worsleys Rds<br />
intersection.<br />
Mr Kingston’s anger came as<br />
construction for the intersection<br />
was re-phased through the<br />
Annual Plan process with an<br />
expected completion date pushed<br />
back to the 2018/19 financial year<br />
and a $800,000 increase in costs,<br />
totalling about $3.7 million.<br />
“It’s totally disappointing. It<br />
seems any plan they make, they<br />
change,” Mr Kingston said.<br />
At a council meeting in September<br />
last year, funding to improve<br />
the intersection was brought<br />
forward for the earliest practical<br />
construction date in the <strong>2017</strong>/18<br />
year, and an increase in the available<br />
budget after residents singled<br />
out the Hoon Hay, Worsleys and<br />
Cashmere Rds intersection with<br />
concerns the Port Hills Adventure<br />
Park was due to open.<br />

WOOLSTON MAN Michael<br />
Reynolds has a pretty cool idea –<br />
a community fruit and vegetable<br />
garden in his local park.<br />
Michael wants a group of local<br />
residents to help him establish<br />
the garden in Radley Park.<br />
The produce would then be<br />
distributed to those who can’t afford<br />
to buy fruit and vegetables.<br />
Far too many kids these days<br />
go without fruit and vegetables.<br />
I can’t understand why because<br />
it’s cheaper than KFC and Mc-<br />
Donald’s, which they seem to eat<br />
a lot of.<br />
So a pat on the back for Michael<br />
in his bid to get families<br />
eating more healthily. If you<br />

Funds sought to fix car park<br />
• By Noah Graham<br />
SPREYDON residents make a<br />
bid tomorrow to get funding<br />
to make an exit from the<br />
Barrington shopping centre<br />
safer.<br />
The Spreydon Neighbourhood<br />
Network has a deputation to the<br />
Spreydon-Cashmere Community<br />
Board to push for money to<br />
improve the exit on Barrington<br />
St. The network wants improvements<br />
funded from the current<br />
city council budget.<br />
If it does not, the group will<br />
be hoping to fund the project<br />
through this<br />
year’s Annual<br />
Plan, Spreydon<br />
Neighbourhood<br />
Association<br />
secretary Sonya<br />
Hodder (left)<br />
said.<br />
However, if the<br />
project was to be funded from<br />
the Annual Plan, she was worried<br />
work would not begin on<br />
the car park entrance and exit for<br />
another year, she said.<br />
If it were to be funded through<br />
minor works, the project could<br />
be started within months, she<br />
said.<br />
For more than three years, the<br />
group has been lobbying to stop<br />
drivers exiting right out of the<br />
car park onto Barrington St as<br />
well as removing the right-hand<br />
turn from Barrington St into the<br />
car park.<br />
She said cars turning right<br />
must cross a line of traffic and<br />
with the amount of vehicles it is<br />
just a “disaster waiting to happen”.<br />
“It’s concerning for pedestrians,<br />
cyclists and the elderly who<br />
want to cross the entrance on the<br />
footpath.”<br />
Mrs Hodder said there had<br />
been numerous engineers assigned<br />
to their project with the<br />
closest of any real progress being<br />
one engineer producing nine options<br />
for the exit.<br />
She said the community board,<br />
Barrington shopping centre and<br />
TRICKY EXIT:<br />
Residents<br />
want changes<br />
made to the<br />
right-hand<br />
exit of the<br />
mall onto<br />
Barrington<br />
St because<br />
of safety<br />
concerns for<br />
motorists and<br />
pedestrians.<br />
PHOTO:<br />
GEOFF<br />
SLOAN <br />
residents were supportive of<br />
removing the right-hand turn<br />
out of the car park but shopping<br />
centre management did not want<br />
to remove the right-hand turn<br />
into it.<br />
She said the shopping centre<br />
was the closest shopping hub for<br />
most of the Spreydon and surrounding<br />
communities with the<br />
exit impacting a lot of people.<br />
In Brief<br />
BARRINGTON PARK<br />
Consultation for the<br />
Barrington Park playground<br />
renewal is likely to get under<br />
way in June. City council staff<br />
told the Spreydon-Cashmere<br />
Community Board last month<br />
that community governance<br />
staff will work with parks staff<br />
to ensure local community<br />
groups are involved in the<br />
process.<br />
NOMINATIONS WANTED<br />
Nominations for community<br />
services awards will close<br />
this month. Time is running<br />
out to nominate community<br />
members in your area who<br />
deserve recognition. Those<br />
who you think have made their<br />
community a better place need<br />
to be nominated by 5pm, <strong>April</strong><br />
13, through the city council<br />
website.<br />
AYLMER ST CHANGE<br />
THe Spreydon-Cashmere<br />
Community Board has<br />
approved no stopping<br />
restrictions for vehicles at<br />
any time on the southern<br />
side of Aylmer St. The no<br />
stopping restrictions will<br />
affect 70m west of the<br />
Aylmer and Colombo Sts<br />
intersection and will extend<br />
west for 20m.

Idea for food hub in park<br />
• By Noah Graham<br />
A WOOLSTON resident needs<br />
a show of support to help his<br />
communal food hub dream<br />
flourish.<br />
Michael Reynolds wants to<br />
establish the Roimata Community<br />
Food Hub at Radley Park,<br />
to help serve the Woolston and<br />
Opawa communities with fresh<br />
fruit and vegetables.<br />
However, to get<br />
things under way,<br />
he needs clear<br />
support from a<br />
core group of the<br />
community who<br />
would be willing<br />
to undertake the<br />
Sally Buck<br />
project, Mr Reynolds said.<br />
The Te Waka Unua School<br />
board of trustees member said<br />
it would be great if a regular<br />
group of community members<br />
were to put their hands up and<br />
be willing to help maintain the<br />
food hub on a consistent basis.<br />
“Around 20, consistent people<br />
who would be committed to getting<br />
it off the ground are needed<br />
and will help give us a strong<br />
base to work from,” he said.<br />
Mr Reynolds said the multifaceted<br />
community food hub<br />
would function similarly to others<br />
around the city and would<br />
Be warm in<br />
winter with<br />
mohair and<br />
alpaca rugs,<br />

feature an orchard area with<br />
fruit and berries and large beds<br />
to grow vegetables and herbs.<br />
“It would be a completely<br />
public project where, if you are<br />
willing to contribute with some<br />
sort of labour, you’d be able to<br />
take your share of the produce.”<br />
The produce harvested from<br />
the hub could also be used to<br />
Wedding<br />
or Event?<br />
Get an outfit from<br />
Smith & Boston!<br />
help those in the community<br />
who need it.<br />
Ideally, the hub would have a<br />
strong emphasis on sustainability<br />
with a rainwater harvesting<br />
and composting toilet systems<br />
to help reduce the impact on<br />
water systems, while maximising<br />
the available space.<br />
Mr Reynolds was unsure how<br />
much of the 3ha park land the<br />
hub would use, he said.<br />
However, he said city council<br />
and the Linwood-Central-<br />
Heathcote Community Board<br />
chairwoman Sally Buck were<br />
supporting the project.<br />
Ms Buck said she fully supported<br />
the project and would<br />
mention it at the next community<br />
board meeting.<br />
She said it was a “fantastic<br />
idea” to have a community garden<br />
for residents to use.<br />
Community projects such as<br />
the food hub are exactly what<br />
Woolston needs to reinvigorate<br />
the area and to change people’s<br />
opinions, Ms Buck said.<br />
She said the hub could become<br />
focal point for the community.<br />
Ms Buck said she would work<br />
with Mr Reynolds to fund the<br />
project but first the community<br />
needs to show they want the hub.<br />
Those interested in being a<br />
part of the project should email<br />
woolstonwarriors@gmail.<br />
com or contact Mr Reynolds<br />
through the Roimata Community<br />
Food Hub Facebook page.<br />

corner delayed<br />
•From page 1<br />
The intersection is one of a<br />
number of safety projects within<br />
the 10-year LTP programme<br />
and has had 21 crashes in the<br />
2010-2014 five-year period, with<br />
a KiwiRap Christchurch priority<br />
listing at 47th.<br />
The city council asset planning<br />
team leader, Richard Holland,<br />
said the project had been pushed<br />
back one year in order to allow<br />
design to proceed in <strong>2017</strong>/18 and<br />
construction in 2018/19.<br />
“In effect that only delays<br />
the work by six months,’’ he<br />
said.<br />
Mr Kingston said he has been<br />
trying to get city council to sort<br />
out the intersection for more<br />
than 20 years but felt there has<br />
been a lack of communication<br />
between the community and city<br />
council.<br />
He said there was a mentality<br />
within city council to “avoid<br />
working with the community.”<br />
Spreydon-Cashmere Community<br />
Board chairwoman Karolin<br />
Potter said the intersection was<br />
only going to get more complicated<br />
and with the announcement<br />
of a 380-home Cashmere Estates<br />
subdivision, will be an important<br />
part of the area.<br />

JULIE TOBBELL has been<br />
recognised for her selfless<br />
efforts.<br />
The Somerfield Residents’<br />
Association chairwoman and<br />
nurse was presented with a<br />
‘pride of workmanship’ plaque<br />
by the Garden City Rotary<br />
Club for dedication to her<br />
community.<br />
Mrs Tobbell founded the<br />
association four years ago and<br />
as chair has been involved in<br />
various projects to help bring<br />
positive change to the community.<br />
Her most recent efforts<br />
included setting up a petition<br />
to reinstate a bus service<br />
along Selwyn and Somerfield<br />
Sts, encouraging city council<br />
to maintain city cemeteries<br />
and supporting Studholme St<br />
residents’ action against multiunit<br />
development along their<br />
street.<br />
SURPRISE: Garden City Rotary Club president Roger<br />
Pollard presents Somerfield Residents’ Association<br />
chairwoman Julie Tobbell with a ‘pride of workmanship’<br />
award.<br />
Mrs Tobbell had no idea<br />
the award was going to be<br />
presented to her that morning,<br />
her husband having to<br />
convince her to attend the<br />
monthly Rotary club meeting<br />
SCHOOLS<br />
STAR: Coco Harty-Eugster<br />
has been awarded the Kip<br />
McGrath Barrington Star of<br />
the Month award. Coco’s<br />
tutors said she is selfmotivated,<br />
focused and has<br />
a positive attitude towards<br />
mathematics.<br />
alongside him.<br />
However, when she got<br />
there, the club sprung the<br />
award on her.<br />
“It was totally unexpected<br />
but really very nice.”<br />
New entrants<br />
ACHIEVERS<br />
Mrs Tobbell said she was<br />
honoured to have received the<br />
award and she just did what<br />
she felt needed to be done.<br />
She thanked her family as<br />
well for how patient they have<br />
been with the number of community<br />
projects she has been<br />
involved with.<br />
Rotary club president Roger<br />
Pollard said Mrs Tobbell fully<br />
deserved the award because<br />
she had put so much time and<br />
work into making the Somerfield<br />
community better.<br />
“She does it quietly and does<br />
not expect any accolades.”<br />
He said Mrs Tobbell’s efforts<br />
were “selfless.”<br />
Mr Pollard said she is an<br />
invaluable member of the<br />
community and continues to<br />
be a positive influence.<br />

Born in 1969, Kirsty lives in Auckland<br />
with her husband and two children.<br />
She has been a full-time artist since<br />
1977. She says “Although it can be<br />
such a rewarding, frustrating, joyous,<br />
terrifying occupation I can’t imagine<br />
not having it in my life.”<br />
About her latest exhibition, “It was<br />
a natural step for me to introduce<br />
our striking native birds to my work.<br />
They quietly snuck in without me even<br />
thinking about it too much. We often<br />
hear the heavy swoop of wood pigeon<br />
as they move from branch to branch<br />
and I am woken to the melodic call of<br />
the Tui most mornings at home and<br />
often surprised by their lively dives<br />
through the garden. Fantails pick<br />
bugs from our path as we walk the<br />
dog through the bush near home. And<br />
yet we live in a city. We are fortunate<br />
Kirsty Nixon<br />
ON THE WING<br />
to still have these creatures share our<br />
space and enhance our landscape.<br />
Up close, their feathers shine with a<br />
metallic luminous quality and when<br />
painting the whites of their eyes they<br />
each develop personalities.<br />
Interestingly the birds in this show<br />
have mainly been on the wing and<br />
it seems to reflect a current state of<br />
mind with a sense of escapism and<br />
freedom.<br />
Colour excites me and the time<br />
seemed right to challenge myself with<br />
a fresh exciting palette along with my<br />
new subject matter. Embracing colour<br />
in my new pieces has been a joy and<br />
wonderfully liberating.”<br />
Kirsty’s latest exhibition named ‘On<br />
The Wing’ takes place at Little River<br />
Gallery from <strong>April</strong> 8th until May 3rd.<br />

Hard copy dictionaries still relevant in schools<br />
Ferrymead<br />
Rotary Club<br />
member Barbara<br />
Crooks talks<br />
about the value<br />
and importance<br />
of hard copy<br />
dictionaries in schools<br />
It’s a developing debate –<br />
dictionaries in traditional<br />
book form against the ethereal<br />
internet.<br />
It’s a poser that crops up each<br />
year for Ferrymead Rotary<br />
members and several schools.<br />
For some years now<br />
Ferrymead Rotary has supplied<br />
colourful illustrated dictionaries<br />
for year 4 children in some local<br />
schools.<br />
This year, 160 dictionaries<br />
in total were given to Bromley,<br />
Te Waka Unua and St Anne’s<br />
schools.<br />
Each child is given a dictionary<br />
to use at school and eventually to<br />
take home.<br />
In most schools, they are used<br />
as a class set until the end of the<br />
year when the children are able<br />
to keep them.<br />
The schools say that if the<br />
dictionaries were given to the<br />
children at the beginning of the<br />
year, there would be none in the<br />
classroom by the end of the year.<br />
As a result, children who came<br />
to the school during the year<br />
would not have a dictionary to<br />
work with.<br />
In spite of the growing lure of<br />
technology and computerised access<br />
to information, teachers say<br />
the hard copy dictionaries are<br />
still valued and used alongside<br />
the internet.<br />
For some children, the dictionary<br />
will be the first book they<br />
have ever owned.<br />
Ferrymead Rotary hopes these<br />
dictionaries will help launch the<br />
children on a lifelong reading<br />
journey.<br />
Ferrymead Rotary is assisted<br />
in providing the dictionaries by<br />
the Lorna and Bill Boyd Trust.<br />
The trust offers all Rotary<br />
clubs in New Zealand subsidised<br />
dictionaries to give to low-decile<br />
schools.<br />
If you want to come along<br />
and see what we get up to at<br />
Ferrymead Rotary, you would be<br />
very welcome.<br />

WELL READ: This year, the Ferrymead Rotary Club donated 160<br />
dictionaries to pupils at Te Waka Unua, Bromley, and St Anne’s<br />
schools.<br />
We said:<br />
The proposed<br />
construction of four<br />
two-storey units at 23<br />
Studholme St has some<br />
residents worried the<br />
development will ruin<br />
the family-friendly<br />
neighbourhood<br />
You said:<br />
Jennifer Riley – I’d hardly<br />
call four two-storey town<br />
homes “intensive development.”<br />
Families come in all shapes, sizes<br />
and budgets. Diversity in our<br />
neighbourhoods is a strength<br />
and should be encouraged.<br />
Ishty Fulop – Get a grip,<br />
idiots. Christchurch needs the<br />
infrastructure.<br />
We said:<br />
I feel so bad for the staff,<br />
permanently traumatised<br />
because of one person’s actions.<br />
Rick Ives – It’s only going<br />
to be a matter of time before<br />
pubs and dairies start arming<br />
themselves in order to<br />
defend their staff and<br />
livelihoods.<br />
Charmaine Hicks-Paul<br />
– This is getting ridiculous. I<br />
love this bar and the staff are<br />
awesome. My heart goes out to<br />
you guys. Kia kaha.<br />
Julie Van Meer – It was<br />
always on the cards, even 25<br />
years ago. It is very wrong to take<br />
away from the character of the<br />
old street, but it has all changed.<br />
Even the trees have gone, my old<br />
house has three other houses on<br />
the property now.<br />
Andrew Palliser – Clearly<br />
the majority of people are happy<br />
to live in multi-storey units,<br />
otherwise there wouldn’t be the<br />
UNITS: The red outline gives a rough idea of the height of the<br />
four two-storey townhouses proposed for 23 Studholme St.<br />
demand to build them in the first<br />
place.<br />
William Hutson – Build<br />
housing but keep it in character<br />
with the properties around<br />
them . . . plus they make<br />
properties either side cold and<br />
dark usually.<br />
Graeme Palmer – There<br />
appears to be a glut of houses<br />
in Christchurch. So why build<br />
more?<br />
Sonja Waine – Multilevel<br />
units are ruining streets<br />
everywhere.<br />
A man shot his way into<br />
The Brickworks bar on<br />
Centaurus Rd in Cashmere<br />
on Wednesday night,<br />
forcing a staff member to<br />
their knees as the tills were<br />
emptied in the robbery<br />
You said:<br />
Kathryn Thompson – This<br />
is getting seriously dangerous.<br />
Someone is going to get killed.<br />
For all your blind repair and cleaning requirements<br />
The Blind Care Company has been<br />
cleaning and repairing the region’s blinds<br />
for over 60 years. Those six decades<br />
have seen changes in both fashion and<br />
technology. Styles have ranged from<br />
festooned fabric swags to straightforward<br />
and still popular holland roller blinds,<br />
from vertical to horizontal slat systems,<br />
and in every colour or pattern popular<br />
since the 1960s.<br />
Whatever your style, the Blind Care<br />
Company has the expertise to keep your<br />
window treatments looking fresh and<br />
working efficiently. Using only ecofriendly<br />
chemicals, the build-up of dirt,<br />
dust, grease, nicotine and smoke residue<br />
can be removed so that your blinds<br />
smell fresh and are restored to their<br />
original glory. The company can repair<br />
blinds also, having a huge range of parts<br />
in stock. And if you want something<br />
completely new, a great range of blinds is<br />
available for purchase.<br />
The company prides itself on efficient<br />
service, providing a fast turn-around,<br />
with most work taking one or two<br />
days, and a same day cleaning option is<br />
available. It makes it as easy as possible<br />
for clients. The Cashel Street location<br />
couldn’t be more convenient and a pickup<br />
and drop-off service is available. 150<br />
blinds per day can be cleaned at this site,<br />
or one of their mobile vans can do up to<br />
50 per day. That means they will come to<br />
your home or office, remove and clean<br />
your blinds on the spot and reinstall them<br />
for you.<br />
A cut-down and size alteration service<br />
is available in order that the blinds you<br />
bought are a perfect fit.<br />
They are experts in their field with a<br />
huge amount of experience to draw on.<br />
In fact, all their staff has been on board<br />
for at least 8 years, and many up to 20<br />
years. Whatever the job involves, they<br />
will work hard to make sure it gets done,<br />
including one job of 800 blinds which<br />
they completed in 4 days.<br />

The effective use of low level laser<br />
treatment for assisting in the healing<br />
of deep tissue and joint problems has<br />
been used for more than 40 years.<br />
This treatment, which uses photo<br />
stimulation of mitochondria in cells,<br />
is able to penetrate into the site of<br />
injury to promote healing and reduce<br />
inflammation – relaxing muscles and<br />
reducing pain.<br />
<strong>Southern</strong> Chiropractic principal<br />
chiropractor Andre Grob has seen<br />
how the non-invasive treatment has<br />
resulted in impressive results for his<br />
clients.<br />
“I attended the World Congress<br />
conference on lower back pain in<br />
Singapore last year where they<br />
reinforced the use of low level laser<br />
treatment on lower back pain.<br />
“It was great to confirm the<br />
technology I have been treating<br />
my patients with has been highly<br />
researched with clinical studies<br />
showing the positive effect on acute<br />
and chronic musculoskeletal pain.”<br />
The treatment, which only takes 15<br />
to 20 minutes, is especially effective<br />
with muscle and joint pain, stiffness<br />
<strong>Southern</strong><br />
ChiropraCtiC<br />
290 halSwell road<br />
associated with arthritis, neck and<br />
lower back pain. It is approved by<br />
the FDA and Meta analysis by the<br />
Lancet Medical Journal also endorses<br />
the treatment saying it can reduce<br />
pain intensity, disability and the<br />
reoccurrence of pain.<br />
Andre can also provide other<br />
treatments including adjustments,<br />
exercises, stretches and muscle<br />
therapy – to readjust the body or<br />
help it heal from conditions that are<br />
physical in origin.<br />
These can include problems such<br />
as back pain, muscle spasms,<br />
headaches and poor posture.<br />
What you may not know is that it<br />
is also completely appropriate to<br />
receive chiropractic care even though<br />
you may not have symptoms. Unlike<br />
standard medical doctors who you<br />
visit when you have symptoms that<br />
need to be treated, chiropractors<br />
offer adjustments to improve spinal<br />
alignment and overall wellbeing –<br />
and can prevent the pain or other<br />
symptoms even starting.<br />
Going to a chiropractor is much the<br />
same as going to the dentist or gym<br />
or even leading a healthy life – it<br />
5 Warning Signs<br />
prevents problems from reaching<br />
critical stage where you can become<br />
incapacitated and as long as you<br />
keep up with regular visits, then you<br />
continue to enjoy the benefits of a life<br />
feeling well.<br />
“I have been providing Chiropractic<br />
Care for patients for more than<br />
15 years and during that time I have<br />
gained outstanding results. If you are<br />
experiencing back or neck pain or feel<br />
that treatment may be of benefit to<br />
you please give me a call.”<br />
ACC recognises chiropractors as<br />
primary health care specialists when<br />
it comes to spinal care so you do not<br />
need a referral from a GP to seek<br />
treatment for a back or neck injury as<br />
a result of accidental causes. In the<br />
event of an accident we can initiate<br />
a claim directly and if it is accepted,<br />
treatment costs will be subsidised.<br />

HORNBY HIGH’S REDEVELOPMENT UNDERWAY<br />

S<br />
Hornby High School & T<br />
The first steps in the major<br />
redevelopment of Hornby High School have<br />
been taken with the library and<br />
administration building vacated and the staff<br />
and students accommodated in temporary<br />
structures elsewhere on the school grounds.<br />
The vacated buildings are now awaiting<br />
demolition, principal Robin Sutton says, with<br />
the Ministry of Education soon to announce<br />
the successful contractor for the<br />
construction of the first new building. The<br />
80-metre-long, L-shaped building will occupy<br />
the footprint of the present building as well<br />
as a large open area on the school grounds.<br />
In addition to the administration<br />

Te Huruhuru Ao o Horomaka<br />
In 2016 we reconsidered our vision as a school,<br />
and resolved that our aspiration is to be ‘A centre<br />
of creative excellence’ in everything that we do,<br />
whether visual arts or chemistry, volleyball or<br />
music. The world demands fewer people who<br />
can do repetitive tasks and more people who<br />
can think creatively and critically. In doing this<br />
we haven’t forgotten the importance of the<br />
strong relationships that we build with all of our<br />
students, and the importance of individualising<br />
learning pathways so that we come as close<br />
as we can to meeting every individual student’s<br />
needs. With term one gone, there is such<br />
department and library, this expansive<br />
building will also house the science, art and<br />
technology departments, the whare,<br />
student café and the Learning Commons area<br />
(formerly the library). The first stage of the<br />
rebuild project includes a new gymnasium<br />
complex of basketball-court size, which will<br />
sit alongside the existing gymnasium.<br />
A key feature of the building will be<br />
flexibility. As Mr Sutton points out, it is<br />
expected to last for many decades, but there<br />
is no way of knowing how education<br />
methods might change and what the<br />
requirements of teachers and students might<br />
be, even in 10 or 20 years’ time. For that<br />
reason this and all the school’s new buildings<br />
have been designed on flexible rather than<br />
rigid, old-school lines.<br />
Contractors are expected to set up on<br />
site within one to two weeks following the<br />
demolition, with construction likely to start<br />
by late May, Mr Sutton says.<br />
Another innovation at Hornby High, which<br />
doesn’t involve a new build but rather a<br />
re-design, has been the development of the<br />
performing arts school, which has seen<br />
buildings being remodelled and the<br />
auditorium, drama and music departments<br />
incorporated under one roof.<br />
“Already this has brought more<br />
wonderful evidence of our students embracing<br />
our vision for creative excellence, and everything<br />
that it demands.<br />
Our focus is firmly on improved academic<br />
performance. Central to that is our participation<br />
in the Manaiakalani Outreach programme that<br />
causes learning using an approach called ‘Learn<br />
Create Share’. Chromebooks are vital to support<br />
student learning and the evidence is growing<br />
almost daily to show that this has a massive<br />
positive effect on student learning. Thank you to<br />
all whanau who have so far been able to make<br />
this significant investment in their tamariki’s<br />
education. Our relationships with students and<br />
whanau and vital, and we continue to emphasise<br />
these as the essential base for all learning.<br />
Our student group performing at Polyfest in<br />
March were everything that we could want, while<br />
we also saw the re-emergence of rugby league<br />
as a sport at Hornby High School with teams<br />
in both the secondary schools junior and senior<br />
league Nines competitions. Their performances<br />
revealed a depth of talent that bodes well for the<br />
next few years. Their approaches on the field<br />
were also examples of students taking calculated<br />

Email: office@hornby.school.nz www.hornby.school.nz<br />
collaboration between teachers from the two<br />
departments, and students working together<br />
on projects,” Mr Sutton says.<br />
The principal has a vision for his school<br />
and his students as ‘A centre of creative<br />
excellence’, and this is based around three<br />
goals – learning, well-being and a willingness<br />
to take risks.<br />
“It’s an ongoing process and we are already<br />
seeing signs of improvement, with students<br />
gaining increased self-confidence and<br />
self-belief. It’s very rewarding to see that.”<br />
A centre of creative excellence<br />
risks in the approaches to sport, and examples<br />
of the sort of risk taking and leadership that<br />
we have set as a strategic goal for the school.<br />
We are very proud of them all.<br />

BUSINESS PARK DEVELOPMENT<br />
A BUZZ OF ACTIVITY<br />
The development of Hornby’s Waterloo<br />
Business Park is progressing at an impressive<br />
pace, assistant development manager Joel<br />
Webber says.<br />
“It’s a dynamic and constantly evolving<br />
landscape. There are currently 12 individual<br />
sites under construction and we are expecting<br />
ground to be broken on a further three sites<br />
in the near future, so there’s a real buzz of<br />
activity on-site at the moment.”<br />
Roading work presently underway in the<br />
area will boost the profile of the park once it<br />
is completed, Mr Webber says.<br />
“The NZTA-sponsored realignment of<br />
Pound Road through to Main South Rd is<br />
progressing well, with completion<br />
programmed to occur in the fourth quarter<br />
of <strong>2017</strong>. This will significantly increase heavy<br />
vehicle movements along Pound Rd and<br />
provide unparalleled profile and visibility to<br />
Waterloo Business Park sites with frontage to<br />
Pound Rd,” Mr Webber says.<br />
“We understand that the programmed<br />
stage two of this work, which will eventually<br />
connect an extended Pound Rd to the<br />
<strong>Southern</strong> Motorway extension between<br />
Springs RD and Rolleston, has been<br />
fast-tracked for completion ahead of the<br />
original three-year timeframe.<br />
“Since our last update, Waterloo Rd has<br />
been diverted and the course of the new road<br />
runs internally within Waterloo Business Park,<br />
which fits part of the bigger roading upgrades<br />
and realignments in the area.”<br />
In terms of land subdivision, Waterloo<br />
Business Park has only a further two stages of<br />
development to deliver (Stages 5 and 6) prior<br />
to completion of the project, Mr Webber says.<br />
Stage 5 (6.3ha) is programmed to be<br />
completed and titled by early August <strong>2017</strong>,<br />
while Islington Green, Waterloo Business<br />
Park’s central Parkland, measuring nearly<br />
24,000sqm, will be completed as part of the<br />
Stage 5 works.<br />
Mr Webber says Islington Green will deliver<br />
“unprecedented open/green space and<br />
recreational facilities within a business park<br />
context for staff, visitors and local residents<br />
to enjoy”.<br />
Stage 6 (6.87ha) will round out the land<br />
subdivision at Waterloo and completion is<br />
expected by the fourth quarter <strong>2017</strong>, he says.<br />
To support the commercial development,<br />
there are plans to redevelop the historic<br />
Islington Meat Processing Plant as a retail<br />
precinct, with a focus on retaining and<br />
redeveloping a number of the historic,<br />
Victorian-era industrial buildings. To be known<br />
as Islington Square, this will provide a<br />
comprehensive convenience retail offering<br />
within the business park, Mr Webber says.<br />
“We have had a number of studies<br />
commissioned that estimate that once it’s<br />
completed, built-out and fully operational,<br />
Waterloo Business Park will have between<br />
3000 and 5000 employees.<br />
“With so many employees on site, it was a<br />
logical progression to provide a convenience<br />
retail offering within the development,” Mr<br />
Webber says.<br />
Uses under consideration include food &<br />
beverage, pharmacies, drycleaners, and<br />
childcare facilities.<br />

MORE REASONS FOR SHOPPERS<br />
TO VISIT THE HUB<br />
Already a huge drawcard for Hornby<br />
shoppers, The Hub Hornby is now offering<br />
even more reasons for people from there<br />
and right around the city to visit, with school<br />
holiday attractions, new shops and a new<br />
customer service.<br />
Bound to create a buzz, Lego will be at<br />
The Hub during the <strong>April</strong> school holidays.<br />
From Tuesday, <strong>April</strong> 25 until Saturday <strong>April</strong> 29<br />
between 11am and 2pm every day, children of<br />
all ages will be able to have an authentic Lego<br />
experience.<br />
Brought in from Australia, the Lego<br />
immersive zone features Lego build<br />
challenges and other Lego-themed activities,<br />
all within a special Lego-themed area.<br />
Stores that sell Lego at The Hub will also<br />
be promoting their Lego ranges at this time.<br />
“Lego has such a universal appeal,” centre<br />
manager, Jason Marsden says.<br />
“Whilst it has been around since 1932 it<br />
has stayed very current, both with the<br />
technology it now incorporates and<br />
partnerships with some great movie<br />
franchises such as the very popular Star Wars<br />
range.”<br />
Another new arrival at The Hub is the<br />
brand-new Spark store. Situated at the north<br />
end of the new food court, the store features<br />
an open-plan layout, timber finishes and large<br />
digital screens on the two main walls.<br />
The most apparent feature of the new site<br />
is the large, glazed end wall, which faces north<br />
and lets lots of natural light into the site.<br />
From the food court, the natural light and<br />
external view draws the eye to the store.<br />
The introduction of plastic gift cards at The<br />
Hub means the days of dog-eared gift<br />
vouchers or vouchers that have gone through<br />
the wash are now over. Available in a choice<br />
of two designs with matching holders, the<br />
new gift cards are a convenient way to buy<br />
a gift for that hard-to-shop-for person, or a<br />
great way to reward staff.<br />
The cards can be loaded with any amount<br />
and used at almost every shop in the centre.<br />
A quick and easy online page will tell<br />
customers how much credit is left on a<br />
card, so all the value can be easily used and<br />
balances tracked. Using a new card is even<br />
easier – it takes just a simple swipe in the<br />
Eftpos terminal with no PIN required.<br />

Just Cuts Hornby, Shop 49A, The Hub, Christchurch<br />
The ‘Just Cuts’ Salon in The Hub, Hornby is completely Christchurch owned and<br />
operated. Hairdresser Michael Turner, with over 40-plus years’ international experience, is<br />
the owner and ‘on the floor’ Team Leader, while his wife Angela works behind the scenes<br />
looking after admin, advertising and marketing.<br />
Their staff members are all local people, with nigh on 200 years of hairdressing between<br />
them. Four of the stylists are mums with children, boys and girls, and ages ranging from<br />
seven to 18, so there is very little they don’t know about the latest styles, be it shaves, quiffs,<br />
bobs, comb-overs, undercuts, layers – and there’s some hair tattooing going on as well!<br />
Michael and Angela are proud to provide jobs for three mums returning to the workforce.<br />
Three of their staff live in Hornby (and just walk to work), then three in Rolleston, Leeston<br />
and the furthest away is from Ilam.<br />
Many clients and staff know each other from school or various activities their children<br />
are involved in – even dance school for one of the staff. So the atmosphere in the salon<br />
is distinctively ‘very family and very friendly’, with many a catch-up happening right at the<br />
reception desk!<br />
Just Cuts also offers the exclusive Justice Hair Care Products range, and the staff are fully<br />
qualified to advise on which products are perfect for your specific needs. These products<br />
are not tested on animals, are biodegradable, and being concentrated are very cost effective.<br />
Angela and Michael are also involved with the local community, generously supporting<br />
local schools and organisations with contributions whenever possible.

Navy is one of the most popular colours this season. Best of all, because it’s a darker shade of blue, it is both flattering and slimming, too.<br />
It’s also a better alternative to black, as it’s less harsh and carries an air of sophistication. Victoria Tait believes navy is most certainly the new black.<br />

TRAVEL BAGS<br />
FOR EVERY DESTINATION<br />
As the name suggests, Just Bagz in Dressmart Hornby is filled with hundreds of<br />
bags, with the main focus being on travel bags of every description.<br />
This family-run business, owned and operated by Graham and Julieann Griffiths,<br />
specialises in quality luggage from leading manufacturers including Samsonite,<br />
Eminent and Riccardo, with 90 per cent of the stock being brought in by the couple.<br />
Graham has been in the industry for over 40 years, covering manufacturing,<br />
wholesaling and retailing, so with that experience and knowledge he can advise<br />
customers on the right bag to suit their requirements and budget.<br />
The bag purchased may depend on how many people will be using it, for example<br />
a family, how they are travelling – whether by road or air, and how much they want<br />
to take with them, or bring back.<br />
The first choice customers have, is between hard and soft luggage and this comes<br />
down to personal preference, Graham says. In both types there is a huge selection<br />
of sizes, styles and fashion colours – with modern luggage also being much more<br />
user-friendly. Ninety per cent of bags now have four wheels, making them very easy<br />
to manoeuvre and transport. Just Bagz also has a range of travel accessories<br />
including TSA locks and adaptors, passport holders and luggage labels.<br />
There is also a wide selection of backpacks – adult sizes in various styles, and<br />
children’s styles with novelty designs of their favourite cartoon characters.<br />
Also on display are wallets, shoulder bags and handbags in both leather and<br />
man-made materials, in a wide range of prices.<br />
So, call in for a browse, and have a chat to Graham or Julieann about what you<br />
are looking for. They will be very happy to give you some advice for your travel<br />
needs.<br />

Heat pump specialists offer expertise & hot prices<br />
As winter approaches and thoughts turn to home heating, the idea of having a heat pump installed is seen as an ideal and<br />
cost-effective solution for many homeowners.<br />
That’s where advice from residential<br />
heat pump specialists DC Installation<br />
Services can be invaluable.<br />
A small Christchurch owned and<br />
operated business run by husband<br />
and wife Daniel and Mel Cooper, DC<br />
Installation Services not only has the<br />
heat pump expertise and experience,<br />
it also has the buying power to offer<br />
customers top-brand heat pumps at<br />
very competitive prices, Daniel says.<br />
“We can come to your home to carry<br />
out a site inspection and then advise on<br />
the best heat pump for your situation.<br />
We can give a quick,on-the-spot<br />
quote with no obligation. Once you<br />
book us, installation is done quickly<br />
too, and we offer a full guarantee<br />
on our workmanship for the life<br />
of the unit.”<br />
The company supplies all the major<br />
brands, but highly recommends<br />
Mitsubishi Electric heat pumps, as they<br />
believe the quality and reliability exceed<br />
that of other brands on the market.<br />
“Mitsubishi Electric has carried out<br />
extensive research and development to<br />
produce heat pumps that are specially<br />
designed to work efficiently in our<br />
climate,” says Daniel.<br />
Another advantage is that customers<br />
having an existing heat pump replaced<br />
with a Mitsubishi Electric model can<br />
use the existing pipe work, which cuts<br />
down on the cost.<br />
DC Installation Services has an online<br />
Trade Me store, which has generated a<br />
lot of positive feedback.<br />
“We have had well over 150<br />
independent customer reviews, and<br />
they are all 100 per cent positive,”<br />
Daniel says.<br />

LOCALS TO HAVE THEIR SAY ON NEW LEISURE CENTRE<br />
Stephanie Bushell Audrey Kimble Lyndsay Ellis Carl Dodds<br />
“It will make the whole area much<br />
better.”<br />
“A new place to go would be lovely.” “I would definitely use the pool.” “A nice addition to Hornby.”<br />
From late <strong>April</strong>, Hornby residents will have<br />
the opportunity to have their say on the<br />
planned Southwest Leisure Centre when the<br />
Christchurch City Council begins the<br />
consultation process.<br />
At present there are three potential sites<br />
for the new centre – Denton Park, Kyle Park<br />
and Warren Park, with residents being able to<br />
state their preference, or suggest another site.<br />
As part of the consultation, the council will<br />
also ask if residents want the pool, library and<br />
service centre to be built in the same locality<br />
or separately.<br />
The consultation will run from late <strong>April</strong><br />
through until June, which will enable groups<br />
that meet monthly to discuss the options<br />
when they meet in May.<br />
Council representatives will be going out<br />
to meet the local residents and will also be<br />
contacting all the schools in the area.<br />
Councillor Vicki Buck says there will be<br />
lots of opportunity for formal and less formal<br />
feedback, with formal drop-in centres at a<br />
number of venues, meetings with all groups<br />
who use the parks and also newspaper<br />
advertising.<br />
“The council’s ‘Have your say’ will seek<br />
people’s views as well as many other ways<br />
including signs at the parks and we’ll ask all<br />
local schools and preschools to put it in their<br />
newsletter. There will also be a letterbox drop<br />
to all neighbours,” Ms Buck said.<br />
Western News canvassed Hornby shoppers<br />
about their thoughts on the planned centre<br />
and what facilities they would be most likely<br />
to use.<br />
Hornby resident Stephanie Bushell said she<br />
would use all the facilities.<br />
“I have young nieces, so for them the pool<br />
will be brilliant. It will make the whole area<br />
much better.”<br />
Audrey Kimble of Hornby said she would<br />
use the library.<br />
“I go to the library here all the time, and it<br />
would be nice to have a bigger library. A new<br />
place to go would be lovely.”<br />
Lyndsay Ellis, also a local Hornby resident,<br />
said he would definitely use the pool. His<br />
wife Elizabeth agreed, saying she goes to the<br />
Graham Condon pool, but it’s a long way to<br />
go, so it would be good to have a pool closer<br />
to where they live.<br />
Hornby resident Carl Dodds said the pool<br />
would be a “nice addition to Hornby”.<br />
Most people spoken to believed that<br />
Denton Park would be the best location for<br />
the new centre.<br />
Dr Chris Hendry, a health service<br />
researcher, said that before building new<br />
facilities councils needed to look at the<br />
demographics of the particular area, to see<br />
what was needed and what was most<br />
appropriate.<br />
“There should also be a point of difference<br />
between community hubs like this, so they are<br />
not competing with each other,” Dr Hendry<br />
said.<br />
It would be a good idea if the new<br />
Southwest Leisure Centre had a pool that<br />
was suitable for the elderly to use, she said.<br />
“It needs to be an indoor pool or at least<br />
have some roof cover. I also think it would<br />
be good if rest home residents from the local<br />
area could be brought to the pool,” she said.<br />

COSY COFFEE SHOP TASTY FOOD<br />
A quirky little coffee shop in Hornby is set to become a destination for anyone who enjoys<br />
freshly made food and good coffee in a quiet, cosy spot where they can chat.<br />
Owned and operated by Rebecca Robertson, Catering in a Box is built almost entirely from<br />
recycled pallets, and was constructed by Rebecca herself.<br />
“I have a creative background and I’ve always tried to build my own furniture and upcycle<br />
where I can. I had a vision for the café and it turned out to be much more than my vision,”<br />
Rebecca says.<br />
Having built her café, Rebecca, who is also a former truck driver, turned her wide-ranging<br />
talents to creating delicious food for her customers.<br />
“I bake everything from scratch. I use free-range eggs and I don’t use any pre-mixes. My<br />
passion for food comes from my granddad who taught me to cook from a very young age.”<br />
The selection of food includes pies, sausage rolls, filled rolls, muffins and cakes, which<br />
customers can buy to take away or sit and enjoy.<br />
“It’s quiet here, so people can have a conversation without a lot of background noise,”<br />
Rebecca says.<br />
“I also have mums coming in for a takeaway coffee and going to Branston Park with their<br />
children.”<br />
Catering in a Box can also cater for your next event, corporate or private, from platters to<br />
buffet and even the cake.<br />
Catering in a Box is located in Witham Street, off Amyes Road. Opening hours are from<br />
7.30am to 3.30pm Monday to Friday.

Don’t expect Toyota’s big Land Cruiser 200<br />
to change much in the next few years.<br />
The reason being is that the platform on<br />
which it is based has already served the test<br />
of time in terms of how it has been<br />
engineered for purpose. It has also been<br />
constantly upgraded to earn the reputation as<br />
one of the industry’s best off-road drivelines.<br />
The ladder chassis, the four-wheel-drive<br />
mechanicals and the big engine all combine to<br />
provide a vehicle which is an off-road<br />
champion and a station wagon/sport utility<br />
vehicle with few competitors.<br />
The Land Cruiser 200 has just had another<br />
make-over, and I think that is all you can<br />
expect from Toyota and Land Cruiser at this<br />
stage. The changes Toyota has made to the<br />
Land Cruiser go a long way to keep the model<br />
fresh without compromising its ability.<br />
For 2016 the Land Cruiser gets new frontal<br />
treatment – bonnet, grille and bumper – while<br />
TOYOTA’S<br />
LAND CRUISER 200<br />
By Ross Kiddie<br />
the inside gets some new kit including a rear<br />
entertainment system with two<br />
individual screens. The latter kept a nine-yearold<br />
entertained during the time I travelled a<br />
long highway route.<br />
Little has changed under the bonnet. Sitting<br />
there is a 4.5-litre, twin-turbocharged diesel<br />
engine. It is rated with mammoth power<br />
outputs of 200kW and 650Nm, power is<br />
available all through the rev band, it is strong<br />
and energetic, taking into account that it does<br />
have to haul up to nearly three-tonne.<br />
The Cruiser in this form has a willingness<br />
beneath the throttle that is uncanny, and it<br />
does so with a characteristic V8 growl that is<br />
delightful to listen to.<br />
It also has reasonable fuel usage statistics.<br />
Toyota claims a combined cycle average of<br />
9.5-litres per 100km (30mpg), which is not<br />
that far distant to my 11.1l/100km (25mpg)<br />
which incorporated a long highway drive,<br />
achieving an 8l/100km (35mpg) instantaneous<br />
figure at 100km/h, the engine barely turning<br />
over at just 1800rpm.<br />
Drive is sent through a six-speed<br />
transmission and it is a beauty in terms of<br />
refinement and shift quality. How it harnesses<br />
that huge torque flow yet delivers with such<br />
sophistication amazes me.<br />
The Land Cruiser has ride quality to envy, it<br />
floats over bumps and ruts, yet has the<br />
rugged essentials so that off-road travel can<br />
be completed capably. And that is the secret<br />
of Land Cruiser, it is soft and sultry to drive in<br />
the everyday environment, yet it is technically<br />
superior when it comes to life off-the-beatentrack.<br />
I took the evaluation car on a riverbank<br />
route which follows the Ashley River, it was<br />
perfect for the role with huge grip and drive<br />
programs which can be dialled in depending<br />
on the surface likely to be encountered.<br />
The two main dials are for low and high<br />
range, but there is also a crawl control<br />
mechanism and multi-terrain select which<br />
regulates wheelspin depending on the type of<br />
ground encountered. The driver can dial up<br />
the appropriate setting within the choices.<br />
The Land Cruiser is complex, there’s no<br />
denying that, but the result is extraordinary<br />
off-road prowess, it is so capable the driver<br />
can glean confidence from the vehicle, and yet<br />
at the same time each occupant is cocooned<br />
in a lap of luxury.<br />
The test car was the range-topping VX<br />
Limited model which sits at $133,490, there is<br />
a lower spec model at $121, 900; however, if<br />
you are serious about off-roading the Limited<br />
would be the best pick with its kinetic<br />
dynamic suspension system which improves<br />
ride quality and performance off-road.<br />
Not only has the Land Cruiser been given<br />
a makeover, it is still the quintessential family<br />
wagon with eight seats, perfect for the school<br />
run or whatever the constraints are during<br />
city driving. Interior space and<br />
WESTERN SOUTHERN NEWS VIEW<br />
associated comfort is vast, and it has a high<br />
level of safety for all occupants.<br />
Convenience features are too numerous to<br />
mention but there are the usual high profile<br />
items such as satellite navigation, electric<br />
driver’s seat, four-zone climate control,<br />
sophisticated audio and complex trip<br />
computer, the latter displayed through two<br />
digital dash panel readouts.<br />
At almost 5m the Land Cruiser makes no<br />
apologies for its size, but it has ability in a<br />
corner which adds to the feeling of control, it<br />
sits solidly on the road, while steerage is<br />
relatively precise through huge tyres (285/60<br />
x 18in Yokohama Geolander).<br />
The Land Cruiser is most certainly an<br />
off-road champion, yet it also serves in the<br />
every day role. Thousands of buyers new and<br />
pre-owned from Japan will attest to that, there<br />
are many on our roads, and the facelift model<br />
builds heavily on that success.<br />

The Lexus F series cars have always been<br />
one of my favourites from the marque.<br />
It all started with the introduction of the<br />
IS series in 2007; that car was available with<br />
a 5-litre V8, the concept of a big engine in a<br />
small car has always appealed to me.<br />
There have been several V8s across the<br />
Lexus lineup before and since, although I<br />
think it would be fair to say that the 5-litre<br />
V8 has been Lexus’ best kept secret given<br />
that today the brand has a huge emphasis on<br />
hybrid power.<br />
That aside, a new generation GS F has<br />
landed and, as you can guess, the F represents<br />
V8, the same 4969cc unit which has powered<br />
the performance arm of the Lexus brand.<br />
The GS is a lot bigger than the IS<br />
mentioned in my introduction, but<br />
performance isn’t hindered, the GS F is a<br />
monster regarding power output and<br />
performance, and it arrives in a coupe-like<br />
sedan body style which oozes desire and<br />
practicality.<br />
Landing here at $174,900, the GSF also<br />
comes loaded with goodies, and much of that<br />
is sight unseen. It has all of the latest technical<br />
components which combine for safety and<br />

performance. It is a complicated car which<br />
is designed for high-speed motoring but also<br />
has the manners which promote casual<br />
driving for city speeds.<br />
However, it is mostly a car which beckons<br />
for the open roads, and there are driverselectable<br />
sport mode protocols which can<br />
be tailored to suit any driving style or<br />
conditions.<br />
In simple mechanical terms, the GS has a<br />
longitudinally-mounted engine up front with<br />
drive channelled through an eight-speed<br />
automatic transmission to the rear wheels.<br />
Up front, the engine is rated with a massive<br />
351kW and 530Nm of torque. If you take<br />
into account that peak power is available at<br />
7100rpm and torque across a wide spread<br />
from 4800rpm to 5600rpm, it is not only a<br />
powerhouse, but it revs freely to the top end<br />
and is strong from all points of the rev band.<br />
Lexus claim a 4.6sec from a standstill to<br />
100km/h time, and by my stopwatch, it will<br />
lunge from 80km/h to 120km/h in 3.8sec.<br />
These are quick times which easily satisfy, and<br />

rear audio speakers.<br />
Such are the power outputs a lot is asked<br />
of the traction control system. Even with<br />
huge rear rubber (275/35 x 19in), the grip is<br />
challenged, the low profile Michelin tyres are<br />
as good as you can get in a sporty car, but<br />
under load even they struggle.<br />
The fully independent front wishbone/rear<br />
multiple link system aids traction along with<br />
providing a fabulous, comfortable ride. In<br />
standard mode the ride is glorious, and even<br />
if you select the sports modes which firm the<br />
suspension, there is little compromise in ride<br />
quality.<br />
I took the test car on the road I only use<br />
for quick cars, the route to Lake Coleridge<br />
Village is a mix of corners which will test<br />
any chassis. The GS was in its element in the<br />
quick and slow stuff. It has steering to envy,<br />
feedback and control is millimetre precise,<br />
turn-in is direct, and body balance perfectly<br />
even. With the force of the engine out of a<br />
corner it is a car which pleases the driver<br />
immensely; and, of course, if a corner looms<br />
a little too quickly, huge brakes with Brembo<br />
calipers quickly slow speed, pedal feel is solid<br />

and totally reassuring.<br />
It’s hard to believe that with so much<br />
performance on offer the GS F also beholds<br />
the Lexus concept of luxury, the entire<br />
in-cabin area is an experience to be in. Not<br />
only is there every conceivable convenience<br />
item, but that area is laid out so that five<br />
people can enjoy the driving experience.<br />
As much as I enthused with the engine outputs,<br />
it also delivered respectable fuel usage<br />
readouts. My five-day average<br />
constantly listed around 12.9-litres per<br />
100km/h (22mpg). That sits well with Lexus’<br />
claim of 11.3l/100km (25mpg) on a combined<br />
cycle average.<br />
The GS F is also a car which you could<br />
enjoy as an occasional on-track experience.<br />
The first time I was acquainted with the car<br />
was on the sealed track at Ruapuna’s Mike<br />
Pero Motorsport Park. I was a passenger<br />
with a professional race driver at the wheel.<br />
The GS F responded to the high-speed<br />
workout just as if it was built for<br />
competition; it is an all-rounder which, in<br />
comparison to other desirable sports cars,<br />
seems all so affordable.<br />

NRL PROGRAMME<br />
DESIGNED TO PROMOTE MENTAL HEALTH<br />
Jessica Macartney and Brent Tomlinson display<br />
the State of Mind jersey the players wear.<br />
The Hornby Rugby League Club is one of two Christchurch league clubs that has put in place<br />
a programme designed to foster a healthy mental state in its players.<br />
Recognising the devastating effects that can occur if mental health issues are not addressed,<br />
the NRL has developed its NRL State of Mind grass roots programme. Now in its second<br />
season, it comprises a six-step recognition process targeted at club leadership level – club<br />
administrators, coaches, managers and senior members.<br />
Australian Jessica Macartney, community manager – NRL Health, who was in Christchurch<br />
recently to present the programme, says the idea is to change the culture of the clubs by<br />
educating these leaders about mental health and how to deal with difficulties young players may<br />
have around mental health, and passing this on to them through mentoring.<br />
“Each club has its own needs,” Jessica says, “so it’s a matter of working out what’s best, and<br />
we do this through the six-step recognition process. It takes two seasons to get through the<br />
six-step process.”<br />
In 2016 there were five New Zealand clubs and 30 Australian clubs participating in the<br />
programme. This year a further five clubs have joined the programme in New Zealand, and<br />
in Australia, after a substantial State Government funding boost, there are 105 clubs going<br />
through the programme, Jessica says.<br />
Two leading NRL players, Simon Mannering and Tofofoa Sipley, have been appointed as<br />
Ambassadors for NRL State of Mind in New Zealand.<br />
As stated on the NRL State of Mind website, the key outcomes of the programme are: to<br />
Come enjoy the atmosphere and<br />
our Friendly efficient Team<br />
reduce the stigma around mental ill health within the club and community; increase mental<br />
health literacy across grassroots rugby league clubs; and stimulate help-seeking behaviours of<br />
club members and community.<br />
The outline of the programme was introduced at the Hornby Rugby League clubrooms in<br />
May 2016, and that meeting drew a good crowd of club members, players and friends, who got<br />
right behind the concept, club president Brent Tomlinson says.<br />
“People knew it was needed, that something had to be done. They just didn’t know how, so<br />
this came at just the right time.”<br />
The club has set up a special Education Centre where the programme is presented, equipped<br />
with sound system, computers and screens. The redecoration of the room and the installation<br />
of equipment were carried out by club members in their free time, with the costs covered by<br />
fundraising.<br />
“Our teenage members can also come in here if they want some time out in a safe,<br />
comfortable environment,” Brent says.<br />
As part of the State of Mind programme, and to reinforce the message, all the teams wear<br />
the special State of Mind jersey when they are playing.<br />
Hornby Rugby League Club has produced Kiwis and other representative players and<br />
coaches over the years. Later this year, members and local residents will have the opportunity<br />
to see some of the world’s current top rugby league players in action, when they come here to<br />
compete in the Rugby League World Cup taking place between October and December.<br />

The award-winning team: from left, Paula Waldeck,<br />

TIME TO PLAN WINTER HOLIDAYS<br />
WITH AWARD-WINNING TEAM<br />
See our full page advert on the back page and start planning your next holiday.<br />
There have been more celebrations in the House of Travel<br />
Hornby office recently as the team have recently been named<br />
‘Best performing Small Outlet’ in New Zealand for House of<br />
Travel for the second year in a row.<br />
“We are absolutely delighted with the win,” says owner/<br />
operator Paula Waldeck.<br />
“We are only two and a half years old, so to have this title<br />
under our belt twice is such a credit to our fabulous team,” she<br />
says.<br />
As the temperatures in Christchurch cool down, that’s when<br />
people start thinking seriously about winter breaks in warmer<br />
climes, Paula says. And the hot destinations this<br />
season, are the South Pacific islands – especially Fiji and<br />
Rarotonga.<br />
“These destinations are popular because they are close, safe<br />
and easy to travel to. And with the direct flights now on offer<br />
to both destinations from Christchurch, not going via Auckland<br />
or Sydney, it’s much easier not having to negotiate another<br />
airport – plus it means more time on the beach.”<br />
Cheap travel to Europe is the other big news of the<br />
moment, Paula says.<br />
“These deals are the most competitive I’ve ever seen.<br />
Destinations like Greece and Spain, for example, are great<br />
places to be during the New Zealand winter and we look<br />
forward to organising trips to exciting places like these for our<br />
clients.”<br />
The consultants at House of Travel Hornby are all<br />
passionate about travel themselves, as well. Christine Gilliver<br />
has just returned from a 10-day, five-star trip to Japan, which<br />
she says was “amazing”, especially visiting the mountains.<br />
Kirsty Stewart is heading off to India this month, Shaunice<br />
Ross has just come back from Fiji and will be travelling to The<br />
Philippines in May.<br />
All these diverse travel experiences enable the consultants<br />
to advise their clients on what to expect and how to make the<br />
most of the various destinations they visit.<br />
This month House of Travel Hornby will be welcoming a new<br />
member to the team – senior consultant Amanda Ellis. Amanda<br />
has a wealth of experience in the travel industry, and is another<br />
keen traveller. Her next trip will be to the Great Barrier Reef.<br />
House of Travel Hornby is located at 40 Carmen Road, with<br />
easy parking right outside the door, so call in soon and start<br />
planning your winter holiday with one of their friendly and<br />
knowledgeable consultants.<br />

Travel<br />
Gourmet delights on Emerald Princess<br />
• By Mike Yardley<br />
LOSING WEIGHT while<br />
on-board an ocean cruise is a<br />
forlorn goal.<br />
Virtuously though, I circumnavigated<br />
the promenade deck<br />
of the Emerald Princess so many<br />
times, I felt as if I’d walked my<br />
way to Tasmania. All the more<br />
reason to succumb to the great<br />
slate of culinary salivation bursting<br />
forth.<br />
The old-faithfuls can be found<br />
throughout the ship, from the<br />
billowing buffet ballast at Horizon<br />
Court, to the more formal a<br />
la carte dining rooms of Boticelli,<br />
Da Vinci and Michelangelo.<br />
Cheap and cheerful snacks<br />
abound, whether it’s a slice or<br />
three of poolside pizza from<br />
Prego Pizzeria, hamburgers and<br />
hot dogs at Trident Grill or sweet<br />
servings on a whim from Scoops<br />
ice cream bar.<br />
Generously studded with 13<br />
dining venues, it’s the specialty<br />
MOUTH-WATERING: Two gourmet plates at The Salty Dog.<br />
dining experiences that lure the<br />
gastronomes for a sense of culinary<br />
discovery, flavourful fun and<br />
design finesse.<br />
The headliner is Share by Curtis<br />
Stone. But my first stop was The<br />
Salty Dog, a playful gastropub<br />
cheerily garlanded in Union Jack<br />
bunting. It’s the share-plates experience<br />
that you should plump for,<br />
whereby for an $18 cover charge,<br />
you can select two gourmet plates<br />
from the cravable menu, spanning<br />
melt-in-your-mouth lobster<br />
mac and cheese to wild caught<br />
calamari frites.<br />
Another unmissable gastronomic<br />
encounter can be found at<br />
the premium seafood, steak and<br />
chop house, Crown Grill.<br />
I started with chilean sea<br />
bass and brioche-breaded king<br />
prawns, before hitting the meat.<br />
The globally-sourced range of<br />
premium chops elicited a patriotic<br />
pick on my part, opting for the<br />
New Zealand double lamb chops<br />
in rosemary essence with garden<br />
fresh vegetables. Divine.<br />
The piece de resistance is the<br />
stirring six-course degustation<br />
fine dining affair at Share. With<br />
supreme ocean views over the<br />
ship’s wake, the fresh, instantly<br />
agreeable and homely design<br />
elements mark a huge departure<br />
from the standard cruise ship<br />
aesthetic.<br />
Decorative curios, books and<br />

A more youthful appearance<br />
When it comes to dentures, Christchurch<br />
people have access to world-leading<br />
techniques and oral aesthetics right on their<br />
doorstep.<br />
At his Montreal St studio Lovebite,<br />
internationally-renowned dental technician<br />
Richard Greenlees creates beautiful<br />
bespoke dentures with small nuances in<br />
the fabrication, colour and shape and even<br />
slight imperfections to create a uniquely<br />
individual smile.<br />
Not only do Lovebite teeth look real, the<br />
whole structure and shape of the patient’s<br />
face is transformed with Richard’s top-ofthe-line<br />
dentures – something he calls his<br />
signature ‘denture lift’. “With appropriate<br />
facial support, the facial tissues are brought<br />
back into the correct position, the lips are<br />
reformed, and beauty is restored,” he says.<br />
It is the interior architecture of a Lovebite<br />
denture that helps to create a more youthful<br />
appearance by<br />
recovering the<br />
face and skeletal<br />
shape that can be<br />
lost after years of<br />
wearing dentures.<br />
As the smile<br />
is transformed,<br />
so is the patient’s<br />
confidence, and the<br />
way they feel about<br />
themselves.<br />
There<br />
is no<br />
need for<br />
These Lovebite dentures have been handcrafted by internationally-renowned<br />
dental technician Richard Greenlees to closely resemble natural teeth, resulting<br />
in a beautiful smile, tailored to the patient’s character and individuality.<br />
dentures to look false. Richard takes a great<br />
deal of satisfaction in making bespoke<br />
dentures that look 100 percent real and<br />
natural, personally guiding his patients<br />
through the transformation process, to craft<br />
a smile that reflects their individuality and<br />
personality, and recreates their natural predenture<br />
smile.<br />
Richard’s vast experience includes 15 years<br />
running his own clinic in the prestigious<br />
Harley St, London, where he treated people<br />
from all walks of life, from barrow boys to<br />
the rich and famous, politicians, actors and<br />
musicians.<br />
His techniques are recognised as worldleading<br />
amongst his international peers<br />
and he is regularly asked to lecture and run<br />
courses worldwide.<br />
Miles Cone (DMD, MS, FACP, CDT),<br />
a prosthodontist from Oregon, US, said<br />
in November 2015: “Richard Greenlees’<br />
craftsmanship is as stunning as it is<br />
unique. There is liberation in the calculated<br />
imperfection, indeed an asperity that reflects<br />
a purely human element”.<br />
In addition to dentures, Richard also<br />
carries out crown and bridge, veneer and<br />
implant work, in conjunction with likeminded<br />
dental surgeons who complement<br />
his creative and aesthetic work.<br />
“Teeth are as different as fingerprints and<br />
vary greatly depending on a person’s age,<br />
sex and race. Dentures from Lovebite reflect<br />
this, and are as unique and individual as the<br />
people they are made for,” says Richard.<br />
There is nothing more satisfying for<br />
Richard, than to see his patients leave the<br />
Lovebite studio with their self-confidence<br />
and identity restored, as well as their smile.<br />

A natural approach to health<br />
WARNING: A hot paint-stripping<br />
gun and dry wood is a dangerous<br />
combination.<br />
Take care when<br />
stripping paint<br />
• By Mark Thomas – Fire Risk<br />
Management Officer<br />
ABOUT ONCE a year we get called to a<br />
house that has been set on fire with a paint<br />
stripping heat gun.<br />
Of course, houses that have paint of<br />
so many coats and thickness that they<br />
require a heat gun, are normally made of<br />
timber, generally many years old and dry<br />
as a bone.<br />
We had one of these fires on Tuesday in<br />
Jutland St, North New Brighton.<br />
Thankfully, this time the occupants of<br />
the house noticed the wisps of smoke and<br />
called the Fire Service nice and early. So<br />
that a garden hose and a thermal imaging<br />
camera check for hot spots were all that<br />
was needed.<br />
Sometimes the result is much worse. It<br />
pays to check for any gaps between weatherboards<br />
before starting.<br />
Birds or rodent nests in wall cavities are<br />
often responsible for fire development.<br />
Don’t burn your house down trying to<br />
improve it.<br />
Smoke was also seen seeping out of a<br />
house by neighbours in Skipton St, Mairehau,<br />
a week ago. This time it turned out to<br />
be muffins too long in the oven so it was<br />
a matter of clearing the smoke away for<br />
the attending crew. Sad for the St Albans<br />
watch that attended. They like muffins.<br />
Daylight saving ended on Sunday. If<br />
you haven’t already done it, take the time<br />
to replace the batteries in your smoke<br />
alarms.<br />

What do you consider to be the main<br />
moderator of your health? Do you consider<br />
what you eat to be the number one<br />
influence on the way your body operates,<br />
or is it the amount and type of exercise?<br />
Maybe you feel that the way you handle<br />
or deal with the stress of modern life to<br />
be the major determinant in how well and<br />
healthy you are. It could be that you feel<br />
there is a more spiritual component at<br />
play or that your genes or family history<br />
determines your health. What about<br />
health literacy? Is there a correlation<br />
between your knowledge of your own<br />
body’s workings and how healthy you<br />
are? Health literacy is about having the<br />
ability to obtain, understand and process<br />
information and services related to health<br />
and to make appropriate health decisions<br />
based on this knowledge. All of these<br />
things play an important role in health and<br />
obviously some will have more of a role<br />
than others depending on the individual.<br />
How you understand and choose to<br />
deal with your health is a complex issue<br />
involving many influences. As a natural<br />
health practitioner I see my role as being<br />
McKenzie Lifestyle Village<br />
is in the final stages of<br />
completion. There are still<br />
great sites available and we also<br />
have a number of affordable<br />
villas ready for immediate<br />
occupation.<br />
Our beautiful Leisure Centre<br />
was opened last year and the<br />
pools, gymnasium and library<br />
and lounge area are in use<br />
daily. Outside, the bowling<br />
green is very popular along<br />
with Petanque, Mini-golf and<br />
Table Bowls. By next summer<br />
the Croquet Lawn will also be<br />
available.<br />
The residents enjoy an enviable resort style<br />
lifestyle. It is also surprisingly affordable.<br />
A former Christchurch resident, Judith,<br />
says “We couldn’t have all this for what we<br />
are paying if we were still in Christchurch.”<br />
Another resident, David, says “my wife and<br />
I have never been so well off as we are now<br />
we moved to McKenzie Lifestyle Village.”<br />
There are fuller testimonials on the village<br />
homepage at mlv.co.nz.<br />
someone that can help other people<br />
to recognise the importance of these<br />
moderators, identifying the ones that are<br />
central to their health and to give them the<br />
tools and knowledge to make the choices<br />
they want to in order to achieve their<br />
health goals. I help people understand their<br />
health - explaining tests and diagnosis’s as<br />
well as researching treatments available<br />
to them. The most important approach to<br />
your health is one that is informed - we<br />
need to remember that we have choices<br />
and that it is our responsibility to question,<br />
research, explore all of the moderators<br />
involved in this aspect of our lives. No<br />
matter how you choose to deal with your<br />
health, if you are feeling uninformed,<br />
confused, frustrated, blasé or overwhelmed<br />
reach out to someone to help you feel more<br />
knowledgeable. I don’t believe there is one<br />
single approach to health (or to anything<br />
in life!), at times this is overwhelming<br />
especially if you are dealing with a chronic<br />
or life threatening issue. This is the time<br />
when you want someone to tell you the<br />
one thing that you can do that will turn<br />
things around. Unfortunately even in these<br />

Pain management<br />
Living with pain can be the hardest part<br />
of living with arthritis. For some forms of<br />
arthritis, the cause of the pain is often not<br />
well understood.<br />
There are over 620,000 New Zealanders<br />
living with a diagnosis of arthritis. That’s<br />
one in six, but one in two is over 75 years<br />
of age.<br />
Arthritis-related pain causes significant<br />
difficulties for many people. They find<br />
that it impacts on their ability to conduct<br />
everyday activities and to live life as fully<br />
as possible. Sleeping at night becomes a<br />
challenge and for many they hide their pain<br />
from family and friends.<br />
It’s important that those with arthritis<br />
pain seek advice from their GP, pharmacist<br />
or an Arthritis Educator.<br />
SOUTHERN VIEW<br />
Pain management programmes, (such as<br />
those held by Arthritis New Zealand), tend<br />
to work well for older people. There is a<br />
focus on what you can do rather than what<br />
you cannot do. Pain may limit some of the<br />
things that you can do, but it doesn’t have<br />
to control your life. You can learn ways to<br />
manage your pain. You may have to try<br />
different self-management techniques until<br />
you find what works best for you.<br />
The key points of pain management will<br />
be explored at the Workshops on 19th and<br />
20th <strong>April</strong>.<br />

Golden Health Care<br />
Golden Healthcare Group’s position at<br />
the forefront of Canterbury’s residential<br />
care services is cemented by a state-ofthe-art<br />
facility being developed at Lady<br />
Wigram Retirement Village.<br />
The concept is to provide hotel-style<br />
accommodation for those residents<br />
who enjoy being part of a vibrant, social<br />
community.<br />
The group has already completed 50<br />
villas with an additional 17 to be completed<br />
by early <strong>2017</strong>. Until the full project is<br />
finalised, one of the villas built during<br />
the first stage of construction has been<br />
converted to accommodate social events<br />
such as bowls, happy hours, high teas and<br />
television viewing of sports fixtures.<br />
Once the project is complete, it will<br />
comprise 101 villas, 73 apartments, and<br />
100 care beds. The proposed facilities will<br />
include a rest home, hospital, and dementia<br />
facilities, and permanent amenities such<br />
as a community centre, Bowling Green,<br />
swimming and spa pools, a gym, a theatre,<br />
a library, and a hairdressing salon.<br />
The villas will be offered in a<br />
combination of two and three bedrooms<br />
whereas apartment residents will have a<br />
choice between one and two bedrooms.<br />
The Lady Wigram Retirement Village is<br />
a short stroll from The Landing, the central<br />
retail hub of the Wigram Skies subdivision,<br />
and only a short drive to Hornby Mall, the<br />
Hornby Working Men’s Club and the city.<br />
Lady Wigram Retirement Village is<br />
one of eight facilities operated by Golden<br />
Healthcare Group that offer a variety of<br />
residential care services.<br />
The large Christchurch-based group is<br />
a privately owned provider that strives to<br />
support every aspect of aged care.<br />
Rest home care is provided in the Golden<br />
Age Rest Home and Brookhaven Rest<br />
Home, both of which also encompass<br />
retirement villages. Brookhaven also<br />
has a dementia care unit along with the<br />
dedicated Camellia Court, Albarosa, and<br />
Somerfield rest homes. Furthermore,<br />
the Hoon Hay Rest Home is a dedicated<br />
dementia wing, but the Hoon Hay House<br />
on the same site specialises in mental<br />
health.<br />
Within the facilities, there are plenty<br />
of opportunities to create unique<br />
environments for differing requirements<br />
for residents. Nursing care is provided<br />
by registered nurses, regular scheduled<br />
medical appointments and on-call doctors<br />
ensure residents’ health is well monitored.<br />
An activities co-ordinator ensures residents<br />
will never be bored and they participate in<br />
programmed activities, games, sing-alongs<br />
with performances by visiting entertainers,<br />
library book exchange and exercise<br />
programmes. The group has four vans to<br />
utilise for residents outings.<br />
Each facility has its own kitchen and<br />
offers nutritious home-style meals and<br />
baking, and special diets are catered for.<br />
Golden Healthcare employs 260 at its<br />
facilities which care for about 350 residents.<br />
All staff are highly trained, experienced,<br />
and qualified in their roles.<br />
Each facility offers regular resident and<br />
family meetings to ensure feedback is<br />
encouraged, and dementia facilities also<br />
offer educational evening for families to<br />
understand the dementia process. Respite<br />
care is also provided at all facilities.<br />

According to a country Doctor “D.C.<br />
Jarvis” from Vermont in the USA cider<br />
vinegar and honey (CV & H) can be an<br />
important part of a long healthy life. Dr.<br />
Jarvis noted Vermonters who regularly<br />
consumed cider vinegar and honey had<br />
excellent health with many putting in a<br />
vigorous day’s work on the farm even when<br />
well into their eighties.<br />
Dr. Jarvis found the effects of cider vinegar<br />
and honey on arthritis can be remarkable<br />
with many patients reporting almost total<br />
relief after taking a course of the cider<br />
vinegar and honey. Dr. Jarvis surmised that<br />
the acid and potassium in cider vinegar<br />
counteracted calcium deposits and helped<br />
the body control calcium use.<br />
As well as a general tonic Dr. Jarvis found<br />
regular administration of cider vinegar and<br />
honey at the onset of complaints such as the<br />
common cold, sinusitis, asthmatic<br />
attacks, hay fever, and childhood<br />
diseases such as chicken pox and<br />
measles, was accompanied by an<br />
improvement in the condition with<br />
symptoms either disappearing,<br />
or the conditions were extremely<br />
mild and soon over.<br />
Apple cider vinegar contains<br />
all the goodness of the apple in a<br />
form that is readily accepted by<br />
the body. Scientists have found<br />
over 90 different substances in<br />
ACV, among them 20 important<br />
trace elements, minerals, essential<br />
enzymes, a number of different<br />
acids including malic acid, amino<br />
acids and roughage in the form<br />
of potash and pectin. A scientific<br />
121 Skyhawk Road<br />
study at the Shizuka University in Japan<br />
has proven ACV to have potent antioxidant<br />
benefits (It can destroy free radicals,<br />
which are a major factor in ageing.) and<br />
also the ACV can break down cholesterol<br />
formations in the blood vessels.<br />
ACV and H is a powerful tonic that<br />
also promotes digestion, assimilation of<br />
nutrients and elimination of waste, and<br />
helps neutralize any toxic substances that<br />
enter the body.<br />
It is important to note not all cider<br />
vinegar is made in the traditional way and<br />
results are likely to prove disappointing<br />
with these other vinegars.<br />

SOUTHERN VIEW<br />
Mazda MX-5 offers<br />
thrilling drive<br />
• By Ross Kiddie<br />
WHEN MAZDA first<br />
produced its MX-5<br />
convertible, the concept<br />
was loosely based around<br />
the high performance<br />
Lotus Elan of the 60s.<br />
There’s no denying the<br />
success Mazda has had<br />
with the MX-5, every<br />
generation has been true<br />
to the original, and I don’t<br />
know anyone who isn’t<br />
smitten with the affordable<br />
sports car.<br />
That being the case, I was<br />
a little surprised to find<br />
that the latest generation<br />
model was designed in<br />
collaboration with the<br />
Fiat/Chrysler group. We<br />
are unlikely to see the Fiat<br />
equivalent here in New<br />
Zealand, it’s rumoured<br />
to be a left-hand-drive<br />
model only; but we will<br />
see Abarth versions here<br />
in right-hand-drive, and<br />
it will arrive with a 1.4-<br />
litre turbocharged engine.<br />
Incidentally, Abarth is the<br />
performance arm of Fiat<br />
in Italy.<br />
I’m not here to praise<br />
the Abarth, I doubt that<br />
I’ll ever get a drive of<br />
that vehicle, but what I<br />
do know is that Mazda is<br />
determined not to lose grip<br />
on the popularity of MX-5,<br />
nor its market share, and<br />
have launched it here in<br />
four variations to cater for<br />
all driving tastes. In simple<br />
terms, there is a 1.5-litre<br />
manual model, a 2-litre<br />
manual or automatic, and a<br />
2-litre convertible hardtop.<br />
I’ve driven all but the<br />
hardtop, and have come<br />
to appreciate what Mazda<br />
have done with the MX-5,<br />
it is still the fun, beautifully<br />
balanced sports car<br />
which has a chassis and<br />
suspension that can only be<br />
described as delightful.<br />
This evaluation focuses<br />
on the 2-litre manual,<br />
and it sits in the market<br />
at $46,995. $40,995 will<br />
get you into the 1.5-<br />
litre manual, automatic<br />
transmission on the 2-litre<br />
adds $1500.<br />
Effectively, the engine is<br />
the same, but for bore and<br />
stroke differences which<br />
determine cubic capacity.<br />
The 2-litre model pumps<br />
out 118kW and 200Nm<br />
against 96kW and 150Nm,<br />
and if you add in its weight<br />
of just over 1000kg the<br />
power-to-weight balance<br />
is definitely biased towards<br />
performance.<br />
When you fire up the<br />
Mazda MX-5 you know<br />
you are in for a thrilling<br />
ride; the engine is raspy<br />
MAZDA MX-5: Designed with the Fiat/Chrysler group.<br />
and a little raw, not so<br />
that it’s overbearing, but<br />
it does have sound which<br />
lets you know that there is<br />
something just a little bit<br />
different about the car. It<br />
has always been that way,<br />
it’s just part of the ethos<br />
that harks back to my<br />
introduction, the Lotus<br />
Elan was also vibrant from<br />
under the bonnet.<br />
• Price – Mazda MX-5<br />
Ltd, $46,995<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
3915mm; width,<br />
1735mm; height,<br />
1230mm<br />
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />
rear-wheeldrive,1998cc,<br />
118kW,<br />
200Nm, six-speed<br />
manual.<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 6.6sec<br />
• Fuel usage –<br />
6.9l/100km<br />
Where Mazda has<br />
excelled with the MX-5 is<br />
in its driving dynamics,<br />
you feel so very much a<br />
part of the car, everything<br />
from the short-shifting<br />
gear lever through to the<br />
feel from the suspension<br />
and the way you as a driver<br />
are connected to the rearwheel-drive<br />
feel, the MX-5<br />
involves the driver and<br />
drags him/her tightly to the<br />
elements which make it the<br />
sports machine it is.<br />
In terms of performance,<br />
the MX-5 in 2-litre form<br />
will haul to 100km/h from<br />
a standstill in 6.6sec, and<br />
will make an overtaking<br />
manoeuvre in 4.9sec (80-<br />
120km/h). And at the<br />
same time it will also sip<br />
fuel frugally, Mazda claim<br />
a 6.9l/100km (41mpg)<br />
combined cycle average.<br />
The twin-camshaft, fourcylinder<br />
unit is one from<br />
the new range of SkyActive<br />
engines which have found<br />
their way into most of<br />
Mazda’s current product, it<br />
has character and likes to<br />
be heard; at highway speed<br />
it settles down, but if you<br />
use the power on tap it<br />
is there to entertain<br />
audibly.<br />
The MX-5 is all about<br />
character, and it has a<br />
chassis that delivers one<br />
of the finest handling<br />
sensations you are ever<br />
likely to experience. The<br />
steering is pin-sharp, and<br />
by sitting almost over<br />
the rear axles you get a<br />
lot of feel as to what the<br />
suspension is doing in<br />
relation to the road surface.<br />
Short-wheelbase, rearwheel-drive<br />
cars can be<br />
twitchy at the rear under<br />
power, and the MX-5 is no<br />
exception, but grip through<br />
the 205/45 x 17in sport<br />
specification Bridgestone<br />
Potenza rubber is high and<br />
you really have to work<br />
hard to lose traction. Of<br />
course, that is immediately<br />
arrested through the<br />
traction control electronics,<br />
but the point is the MX-5<br />
can be playful and, as a<br />
buyer, you wouldn’t want<br />
anything less.<br />
I took the test car inland<br />
from Windwhistle almost<br />
all of the way to Lake<br />
Coleridge Village, my<br />
favourite high country<br />
road, and thoroughly<br />
enjoyed the way the MX-5<br />
attacked the corners yet<br />
drives in a fashion which<br />
allows the driver to use its<br />
qualities to full potential.<br />
The driving environment<br />
is one of massive appeal,<br />
everything about the MX-5<br />
is beautifully engineered,<br />
from the cockpit to<br />
lowering the roof down<br />
with one hand in one<br />
easy movement, there is<br />
nothing to criticise, and<br />
the newcomer is true to<br />
the concept which has<br />
made it so successful and<br />
appealing.<br />
Of course, it is a selfish<br />
car, any buyer will only be<br />
able to have one passenger<br />
at a time as it has two seats<br />
only, and that in itself<br />
suggests that everything<br />
about the MX-5 is a little<br />
different.<br />
Warming winter with<br />
EnviroMaster<br />
Are you struggling with the heat of Summer<br />
or wanting to get organised for Winter? With<br />
the ever changing weather patterns, heat<br />
pumps have the flexibility of being able to<br />
heat and cool which is an advantage no other<br />
appliance can offer. This represents great<br />
value for your investment as you can use it all<br />
year round. The team at Enviro Master Ltd<br />
can help keep you cool this Summer either at<br />
home or work. Enviro Master supplies, installs<br />
and services all the leading brands including<br />
Panasonic, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi and Daikin.<br />
This means our team can show you which<br />
system and brand will best suit your needs.<br />
We currently have savings up to $600<br />
off the recommended retail price on<br />
selected models.<br />
Would you like to maximise the number<br />
of days you can use your swimming pool?<br />
Heating your pool can do this and one of the<br />
most cost effective ways is with a water heat<br />
pump. Enviro Master Ltd can supply, install<br />
and service you swimming pool heat pump<br />
providing you with a comfortable, extended<br />
swimming season.<br />
Servicing your heat pump is extremely<br />
important to ensure that it is working as<br />
effectively and efficiently as possible resulting<br />
in a healthy, hygienic heat pump, lower power<br />
bills and greater comfort. But beware, not<br />
all cleaning companies are equal. We are<br />
constantly hearing of people being charged<br />
huge amounts for servicing and all they are<br />
getting is a heat pump clean. We at Enviro<br />
Master, are qualified engineers and therefore<br />
are able to fully test and diagnose any problems<br />
you may or may not be aware of with your<br />
heat pump. Also, as we are associated with all<br />
major brands, we are able to repair these under<br />
warranty if they are still within the warranty<br />
period.<br />
It is important to remember, when selecting<br />
an installer, the manufacturer’s warranty does<br />
not cover the installation and consumers could<br />
be responsible for any repair or damage caused<br />
to the system due to poor installation. Enviro<br />
Master’s five-star installation guarantee ensures<br />
correct installation, and a demonstration so<br />
customers have an understanding on how it<br />
will best meet their needs.<br />

The facts about<br />
home ventilation<br />
Balanced Pressure vs Positive Pressure<br />
Under the New Zealand Building Code,<br />
all buildings, including residential, need to<br />
be suitably ventilated, either with opening<br />
windows or forced ventilation. Clause G4.1<br />
states: “The objective of this provision is<br />
to safeguard people from illness or loss of<br />
amenity due to lack of fresh air.” There are<br />
many benefits to forced, or mechanical,<br />
ventilation over opening windows, including<br />
warmth, security, reduction of outside noises<br />
and reduction of condensation.<br />
Traditional domestic ventilation systems<br />
are ‘positive pressure’. They bring air in from<br />
outside via the roof space and force the stale air<br />
out through gaps around windows and doors.<br />
The incoming air from these<br />
systems has to be heated or<br />
cooled to keep the house warm<br />
in winter or cool in summer.<br />
The Smooth-Air HEX390 is<br />
a ‘balanced pressure’ system. It<br />
extracts air from the house and<br />
at the same time brings in fresh<br />
air. These two streams of air<br />
pass through a heat exchanger,<br />
which warms incoming air in<br />
winter and cools in summer if<br />
air conditioning is being used.<br />
This means that up to 80% of<br />
the energy which would be<br />
wasted using a traditional positive pressure<br />
system is recovered, resulting in significant<br />
energy savings and therefore lower heating or<br />
cooling costs.<br />
Until recently, balanced pressure ventilation<br />
systems have been considerably more<br />
expensive than traditional positive pressure<br />
systems. However, with Smooth-Air’s unique<br />
manufacturing capabilities, a HEX390<br />
balanced pressure system can be installed for<br />
a similar price as a traditional positive pressure<br />
system.<br />

then whip into Barrington on<br />
the way home to quickly pick<br />
them up. It’s great” - Michele<br />
“We are loving this<br />
new service and find it<br />
very easy to use.”<br />

are playing, then my husband collects<br />
them on the way home from work - It’s<br />
ideal for our busy home.” - Kay<br />

has been straight<br />
forward and very user<br />
friendly.” - Sheridan<br />
