<strong>Ashburton</strong>’s cyclist Donald Sutton is<br />

hoping he doesn’t have to change gears in<br />

his race thisSaturday.Hewill have to get<br />

off his 1936 wooden­rimmed wheels and<br />

movethe chain himself to adifferentcog.<br />

It is one of the joys of riding aroad bike<br />

that is almost85years old.<br />

Donald and fellow cyclists Brent<br />

Kircher and Ross Templeton will all be<br />

riding old bikes in the final of the Mid<br />

Canterbury Social Wheelers’ winter<br />

series.<br />

Brent will be on a1950 Arnst Special<br />

and Ross will ride a1975 Italian­made<br />

Gios.<br />

Donald said getting the old bikes out for<br />

ablastwas afun waytoend the series. All<br />

three will start together with the main<br />

packleaving them plenty of space.<br />

The winter series ride is a16km out and<br />

back course on Fords Road, andDonald<br />

and his mates would usually cut it out in<br />

25 minutes. They expect to be onlyfive<br />

minutes longer on their old road cycles.<br />

The 1950 Arnst Special was ridden by<br />

Bruce Arnst in an illustrious cycling<br />

careerthat spanned 50 years; he lastrode<br />

the bike in 2000.<br />

Old bikes ready for special spin<br />

From Page 1<br />

Bruce Arnst’s biggest win on the bike<br />

was in the 1952 running of the<br />

Christchurch to Waimateroad race,<br />

in which he wasthe fastest juniorin<br />

5hours 45.56minutes and tookhome<br />

theNew Zealand junior road<br />

champion’s title.Brucehas great<br />

memoriesofthe race, which also<br />

featuredhis brotherReg and local<br />

rivalJim Tait.<br />

‘‘The bike’s done thousandsof<br />

miles, including at masters games,’’<br />

Bruce said.<br />

Donald’s 1936 Gloriacycle is also<br />

Italian­madeand haswooden rims,<br />

whichwere used in the early days<br />

until thefirst aluminium rims<br />

appeared at the1934 TourdeFrance.<br />

Wooden rimsstayed aroundthough,<br />

withthe bestriders still using them<br />

as late as 1951.<br />

He said there was agrowing<br />

interestaroundthe world in old road<br />

cycles, with specialracesevenin<br />

NewZealand. In Saturday’s race he<br />

willbewearingaretro woollen jersey<br />

andleather helmet, likethe cyclists<br />

Donald said whilewheels andbike<br />

frames were mostly the same,<br />

modern daygears, chains and brakes<br />

technology, though the old cycles<br />

were still asmooth ride.<br />

He is planning to ride hisGloria in<br />

Authentic Neapolitan pizza at Giovanni’s<br />

MICK.JENSEN<br />

@ashburtoncourier.co.nz<br />

New Allentonpizzeria<br />

Giovanni's is offering ataste of<br />

authentic Neapolitan­style<br />

pizza.<br />

Gourmetpizzas aremade in a<br />

wood­firedoven andcome with<br />

arangeofingredients, a<br />

number of which are sourced<br />

from Italy.<br />

Thepizza menu include a<br />

margherita, quattro formaggi<br />

(four cheese),funghi<br />

(mushroom), pepperoni, hot<br />

diavolaand other options.<br />

Giovanni’s Pizzeria is the<br />

brainchild of businesscouple<br />

John andAnna McDonald,who<br />

opened neighbouring Harrison<br />

Street fish restaurant Docks<br />

Bar &Seafood Grill in June.<br />

Mr McDonald said Giovanni’s<br />

had beendue to open ayear<br />

ago, but drawn out issues witha<br />

potential staff member’s<br />

working visa, andthen the<br />

covid situation, haddelayed<br />

things.<br />

The search for an<br />

experiencedpizzachef had<br />

been ongoing and he was<br />

delighted to have finally landed<br />

one.<br />

Brazilian­born Thiago Pires<br />

had 10 years experience<br />

working withpizzasand had a<br />

puristapproach andpassionfor<br />

his craft, said Mr McDonald.<br />

Giovanni’s had enjoyed a<br />

‘‘soft’’ opening over thepast two<br />

weekstotestsystems andthe<br />

response had beenextremely<br />

positive.<br />

‘‘We’ve had feedback from<br />

people who have eatenpizzas<br />

in Italy andinItalian run<br />

restaurants elsewhere, and the<br />

overwhelmingresponse has<br />

beenabig thumbs up.’’<br />

Mr McDonald said mostofthe<br />

ingredients for the pizzas were<br />

Italian made and of the highest<br />

quality.<br />

Neapolitanpizza had avery<br />

thin crust at the base, with<br />

dough that puffedup around<br />

the sides.<br />

The specialised pizzaoven is<br />

firedupto450 degrees Celsius<br />

and uses kilndriedbeech.<br />

Pizzas made from scratch can<br />

be ready to eat in five minutes<br />

and up to five at atimecan go in<br />

the oven.<br />

Pizzas can be eaten in or<br />

taken away.<br />

Mr McDonald said Giovanni’s<br />

would offer adeliveryservice<br />

in the future,but not in the<br />

current economic climate.<br />

It would also look to expand<br />

its menu to include pasta and<br />

gnocchi and would look to add a<br />

liquor licence.<br />

Those wantingtoenjoy abeer<br />

or wine with their pizza could<br />

elect to eat it next door at<br />

Docks, whichheowned, and<br />

which had alicence.<br />

Pizzascome in aclassic 30cm<br />

size and are suitable for oneor<br />

two people.<br />

Fatima<br />

ReviewedbyRowenaHart<br />

Recently it was the hundredth anniversary<br />

of the time that three shepherd children of<br />

Fatima,Portugal,saw the Virgin Mary in 19<strong>17</strong>.<br />

At the time this caused chaos in the family.<br />

Their mother didn’t believe them, and when<br />

others in their little village heard their story<br />

they were prettynegativeaswell.<br />

But when others heard about itthey flocked<br />

to the placeonthe hillside where thechildren<br />

sawMary.<br />

And today it is estimated thatsome 4-5 million<br />

people visit the Fatima shrine eachyear.<br />

The countryside ofFatima was beautiful, and<br />

manager Shyamal Ram said the<br />

pipeline sideofthe project was 84<br />

per centcomplete in terms of money<br />

budgeted to spend on it. The<br />

contractor has installed the entire<br />

pipeline.<br />

‘‘Ecanhas beenvery happywith<br />

how the project is being managed and<br />

they refer to the project as an<br />

example for others.’’<br />

Thenew pumping stationisabout<br />

Roger Sutton<br />

EA Networkschief executive<br />

Roger Sutton says thatsome<br />

residents in Mid Canterbury<br />

arepaying higherpower<br />

prices than theyshould be.<br />

He said data from the<br />

Ministry of Business<br />

Innovation and Employment<br />

(MBIE) showedretailer<br />

margins appeared high<br />

comparedtoother regions.<br />

‘‘Data from MBIE suggests<br />

that on average power<br />

retailersinMid Canterbury<br />

areoffering energyprices that<br />

are13to24per centhigher<br />

than our neighbouring regions<br />

and the New Zealand average.<br />

‘‘We arefrustrated that our<br />

low residential line charges<br />

are not always clearly passed<br />

on to customers in our network<br />

region.’’<br />

He said thebestthing<br />

customers could do is to shop<br />

aroundand look for the best<br />

deal. ‘‘Go to Powerswitch or<br />

another comparison website<br />

and see what'sout there ­it's<br />

easy to getabetter deal.’’<br />

Comparisonsites take the<br />

information customers<br />

provide about how they use<br />

electricity,plus information<br />

from their bill (if they provide<br />

it) and estimate howmuch<br />

energy householdswill use in<br />

ayear. Usingthisestimate,<br />

customers can compare the<br />

different pricingplans<br />

available andidentify the<br />

Mid Canterbury farmers say<br />

Canterbury already has a<br />

‘‘But this policy statement<br />

has dampened that<br />

Well-being,Preparation and Prevention<br />

In my last musings Ispoke of personal wellbeing,<br />

preparation and prevention -all things<br />

that need regular visiting to maintain an overall<br />

wellness.<br />

One thing that young people don’t realise fully,<br />

is that regular investment in maintenance can<br />

save time, money and mental stress inthe long<br />

run. Whether that begetting your car serviced,<br />

painting the houseormanaging your finances.<br />

At the time of writingthisarticle themajority of ourYear9students have<br />

had aclass-by-class presentation on oral health. The balance ofYear 9<br />

classes willhavethe same presentation beforetermend.<br />

Acoupleofpointswere really highlightedduring these sessions where<br />

things are falling short. The first observation made by the oral health<br />

presenters wasthataconsiderable number of students arenot looking<br />

aftertheir teeth properly on adaily basis–hopefully,having taken part<br />

in the presentation, that will improve.<br />

The second was around the fact that aserious number were not aware<br />

that dental care was generally free up until the age of eighteen. What<br />

was evident was that many had not registered with adental clinic<br />

perhapsbecause,prior to arrivalatCollege,the dentalteam oftenvisited<br />

them at school.<br />

Senior Students’FutureOptions Guidance<br />

At this time of the year, wewould normally behaving visits from<br />

University and Polytechnics to help guide our senior students around<br />

the next phase of their educational pathway.<br />

Much of that is still happening but, like so many things, in a somewhat<br />

modified format so that we are still able to follow the safe boundaries<br />

recommended to us in these times of COVID-19. We have had some<br />

visitorsand some have delivered their messages via zoom.<br />

The important fact isthat the information is still available so that our<br />

seniors can make informedchoices.<br />

Music Evening<br />

Music Eveningisonusagainand auditions have been taking place. The<br />

eventmay be compromised as aresultofCOVID,but it is very positiveto<br />

see agood number ofparticipants turning up. Many are there making<br />

sure that theHouse Pointwar is maintained,and they aredoingso with<br />

enthusiasm and talent. Time will tell whether the actual performance<br />

happens –fingerscrossed. Weare hopeful.<br />

Lip Sync<br />

This year sawLip Sync go digital,and competitors have submitted their<br />

entries online. The creativity ofsome of these budding entertainers is<br />

outstanding.<br />

College Choir Performances<br />

The choirs have been busy rehearsing for their concert onthe last<br />

nightofthe term.Inlinewith currentprotocols this will be asmall affair<br />

held in the <strong>Ashburton</strong> Trust Event Centre foyer where asmall audience<br />

will enjoy the amazing sound of the Phoenix Chorus when they take<br />

‘Cocktails with the Chorus’.<br />

This will be a‘glam event’, cocktail dresses and mocktails designed by the<br />

Chorus will make anighttoremember.<br />

The first Monday ofthe holidays sees the choir out again, singing for<br />

the Pakeke Lions' 40thBirthdaycelbrations at the Hotel <strong>Ashburton</strong>.The<br />

Pakeke Lionshave been strong supporters of the CollegeChoirs over the<br />

years,and it will be greattojoininwith their celebrations.<br />

Drug Detection Service<br />

Wednesday 09<strong>September</strong> saw another visit by the New Zealand Drug<br />

Detection Service, who came in foracouple of hours to carry outsome<br />

canine visits to randomly selectedclassrooms.<br />

Like all other establishments we are keen to progress our educational<br />

Engaging Presentations and Workshops<br />

Read NZ, Te Pou Muramura, Writers in Schools Programme brought<br />

PhilippaWerry to our College Library on Tuesday08<strong>September</strong>for awhole<br />

day ofvery engaging presentations and workshops, said Teacher Librarian<br />

Anne Williams.<br />

Anne advised that Philippa (pictured above) delighted our students with<br />

stories about her writing world, giving insights into how she collects ideas<br />

and expandsthem into books. Givenour experiencewith COVID-19 it was<br />

really interesting for our students to hear about the polio epidemic that<br />

featured in her book ‘Enemyatthe Gate’.<br />

Philippa talked about taking snippets of history, or family stories and using<br />

them as starters for writing. Her book ‘The Telegram’, about a post-girl who<br />

had to deliver telegrams to people during World War I, was an example of<br />

this. Philippa is apublisher of many ‘MyStory’style books.<br />

Philippa ran apresentation (pictured below) during Period 1for students<br />

interested in books, reading and writing, attended by thirty students. For<br />

the balance ofthe day, she facilitated writing workshops for many ofour<br />

talented junior and senior writers, numbering twenty of each level. These<br />

students were thoroughly engaged,insmall groups,taking partinavariety<br />

of writingexercises, andworking on their ownideas andtechniques.<br />

Some of the many positiveresponses from our students to ‘what<br />

did youlearn’included:<br />

• Ilearnedmanyprocesses and ways to build acharacter,setting,and also<br />

howtouse dialogue to my advantage.<br />

• A huge amount! How to create characters, dialogue etc. How towrite<br />

shortstories andfind ideas.<br />

• Ilovedall the adviceand tips she gave us,Iwill definitely be usingthem<br />

forfuturestories.<br />

• The way small ideas can grow into books.The idea of using the‘what if’<br />

statements to bring more to the story.<br />

When asked if students had been inspired tocontinue with your<br />

ownwriting,some answers included:<br />

• Yes, the workshop has made me want to get back into writing. Iforgot<br />

howmuch fun writing wasand the workshopreally justreminded me of<br />

how good it wasand definitely inspired me to writemore.<br />

• Ithas beenhelpfulasitmademeunderstand thatthere is acertain logic<br />

to writing stories.Inthisaspectithas,inits ownway,encouraged me to<br />

keep at it.<br />

• I have. Her Workshop has helped me develop abrand new story idea!<br />

AndI’m very grateful forit.<br />

OutdoorEducation Classes Tackle Little Mt Peel<br />

TwoYear 10 Outdoor Education classes benefitted from superb weather at<br />

the startoflast week fortheir tramps to the topofLittle Mt Peel. Weenjoy<br />

the reports from both parties.<br />

Monday07<strong>September</strong> Trip<br />

Teacher-in-charge Ron Carlson said that Monday dawned bright and clear<br />

and one of the groups of the Year 10 Outdoor Education classes gathered to<br />

travel to Peel Forest wherethey were set to tackle Little Mt Peel.<br />

Nineteen students, with two staff (Ron Carlson and Rachel Donaldson) set<br />

off on the journey to walk up the South Ridge track to the Trig Station at the<br />

top, and planning to returnvia the Deer Spur track.<br />

The trek uptook about three hours with some steep sections and alittle<br />

bit of snow along the way. Ashort lunch break at the top inthe hut was a<br />

welcome break,albeit with acoldwind blowing from the mountain tops.<br />

The journey down was much easier, and with the help of aseries of<br />

boardwalks on the upper slopes. However, most ofthe way was through<br />

alittle run-off causing alot of mud with many squeals and yells emitting,<br />

givenbalancewas oftendifficult.<br />

The quicker-footed students completed the downward journey inonly an<br />

hour and ahalf, and then spentalittle time in the cold creek at the car park<br />

cleaning off the layers of mud!<br />

Tuesday 08 <strong>September</strong> Trip<br />

On Tuesdaythe second Year 10 Outdoor Education group went on their hike<br />

up Little Mt Peel, accompanied by teacher-in-charge Luke Martin and Phys<br />

Ed teacher Annabelle Simpson.<br />

Luke said that many students had fond memories from their Year 8<br />

experienceofclimbing Little Mt Peel,only to find this time would be slightly<br />

morechallenging due to taking the South Ridge routetothe top. This route<br />

is just alittle bit steeper than the usual Deer Spur route.<br />

(Pictured below): Students making their wayupSouth Ridge to the summit<br />

of Little Mt Peel.<br />

The weather was again superb, which meant agreat day’s hiking for the<br />

group. There were some students who found the climb pretty tough but<br />

they persevered and made it to the top, with many ofthe students feeling<br />

proud of what they had achieved. Itwas great tosee the groups working<br />

together and helping each other along the way.<br />

Congratulations<br />

CanterburySchools’Equestrian Dressage<br />

on Monday07<strong>September</strong> at McLean’s IslandNational Equestrian Centre.<br />

Teacher-in-ChargeKaren McKenzie said thatthe eventwas held understrict<br />

COVID-19 rules. This meant there was very little contact with other teams<br />

and, following completion of the two dressage tests, teams then had to<br />

leave the facility.<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> College currently has anew, young team, and is in arebuilding<br />

phase. (Pictured below, left to right): Jessica Taylor and My Majic Mike,<br />

Junior Students’Ski Trip<br />

The second of two Junior Ski Trips was held onTuesday 08 <strong>September</strong> in<br />

very hot spring conditions. The first trip washeld on 30 July.<br />

Teacher-in-charge KarenMcKenzie said that, fortunately,the 40cmsnowfall<br />

the previous week meant that thesixty seven students hadawonderful day<br />

skiing andridingthe whole mountain. Most students had aski/snowboard<br />

lesson, inorder to improvetheir skills.<br />

With Mt Hutt operating under strict COVID-19 conditions, purchasing food<br />

and drinkswas advised as rather challenging, but it was areal bonus to be<br />

able to hold the day.<br />

Staff involved, aside from Karen, were Vaughan Matheson, James List,<br />

Ron Carlson and Bridget McConnochie who all enjoyed the day and said<br />

it was good to see students participating in an outdoor activity, while<br />

respecting the COVID rulesand behaving well.<br />

Rural Accountants for Rural People<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> accounting firm Falloons has rebranded and is starting anew era as Rural Business Accountants.<br />

Anewera...<br />

Rural Business Accountants director<br />

Aaron Allred understands farming and<br />

the challenges it presents. He has<br />

lived most of his life in Methven, in a<br />

district whose economic strength is<br />

what grows on or from the land.<br />

He is the third generation of Allreds<br />

to do business in Mid Canterbury and<br />

takes pride in getting to know his<br />

clients and building close relationships.<br />

His father Selwyn was in real estate<br />

and his grandmother once owned the<br />

Brown Pub in Methven.<br />

Aaron came to the boutique<br />

accounting firm 10 years ago,<br />

becoming apartner in the business<br />

then owned by John Falloon, in<br />

anticipation of taking it over once he<br />

bought the business.<br />

Aaron studied at the University of<br />

Canterbury and spent several years at<br />

accounting firms in Ireland and Egypt<br />

before returning home, where he’s<br />

now amember of the Methven Lions<br />

Club and still loves to ski.<br />

Wife Tracey is anurse in ward one at<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> Hospital, son Jackson (20)<br />

is studying engineering at Canterbury<br />

and daughter Holly (18) plans to study<br />

nursing at Otago next year.<br />

Aaron says he enjoys being part of a<br />

small firm and meeting clients on-farm<br />

or in Rural Business Accountants’<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong> office to help them with a<br />

wide range of accounting and financial<br />

needs, from tax returns and wages to<br />

succession planning.<br />

“Farmers are under strain at the<br />

moment because of Government<br />

regulations. They have been<br />

encouraged to grow and now<br />

they face environmental rules that<br />

are putting unfair pressure on<br />

their businesses. The amount of<br />

improvement Ihave seen on-farm has<br />

been massive but the<br />

amount of credit given to farmers<br />

for this has been minimal.”<br />

Ruralsectorspecialists<br />

Having timely and accurate business<br />

information is critical to making the right<br />

business decisions, whether you own<br />

an 800-cow dairy farm, contract milk,<br />

run stock or grow specialty seeds.<br />

Rural Business Accountants director<br />

Aaron Allred says his firm isall about<br />

analysing financial information collected<br />

during the regular course of business<br />

and helping clients make decisions that<br />

improve their lives. They crunch the<br />

numbers, make sure you are compliant,<br />

advise how to reduce tax and help with<br />

cashflow.<br />

Aaron says they can objectively assess<br />

how your business is performing and<br />

make suggestions, especially if you<br />

are looking togrow, change or borrow<br />

money.<br />

The rural sector specialists offer budget<br />

advice and analysis, sale and purchase<br />

advice, dotax returns and tax planning.<br />

“The main reason people have<br />

accountants is compliance, soyou<br />

can get your accounts into aformat<br />

to supply them to the Inland Revenue<br />

Department.<br />

We can also save you money, help<br />

structure your affairs, we can deal with<br />

things like ACC, borrowing money and<br />

know where you can improve things.”<br />

While compliance isstandard business<br />

for accountants, Aaron says an<br />

important part is building arelationship<br />

of trust and meeting clients face to face<br />

helps him understand how they are<br />

feeling about their businesses. That<br />

may bring about areview of finances,<br />

adiscussion about cutting back on<br />

drawings, or scrutinising costs.<br />

“We can also give afew ideas about<br />

how other people are succeeding and<br />

share good practice.”<br />

An area ofincreasing work is<br />

succession.<br />

Aaron says this can sometimes be a<br />

blunt conversation about money, but it<br />

is often atime for families to think about<br />

and acknowledge work done in the<br />

The whole team at Rural Business<br />

Accountants specialises in the rural<br />

sector and the core team has been<br />

together for along time. Long-serving<br />

employees including Rosemary Adlam<br />

(GST specialist) and Rebecca Hawkes<br />

(tax specialist) anchor ateam with<br />

loads of experience.<br />

Rhea Booker is aspecialist<br />

management accountant, who takes<br />

on alot of one-off jobs like profitability<br />

or systems analysis, budgeting and<br />

other bespoke projects.<br />

Accountants Tracey Milne, Charlotte<br />

Kelly, Tia Young and Carissa Morgan<br />

are also apart of the team, along with<br />

payroll specialist Kerri Preece.<br />

People calling or calling in to the<br />

Havelock Street office are likely to<br />

first encounter Philippa Hadley-Chinn<br />

at reception. She comes from five<br />

generations of Mid Canterbury farmers,<br />

and recently moved back south after<br />

nine years in Wellington.<br />

past, and hopes and ambitions for the<br />

future.<br />

“I am really enjoying getting toknow<br />

the people Ihave been doing work for<br />

and helping them.”<br />

Clients usually fall into four categories:<br />

Dairying, sheep, beef and mixed<br />

cropping; rural related business such<br />

as contractors and share milkers; and<br />

lastly Family Trusts and the children<br />

of long-time clients in various types of<br />

business.<br />

Covid-19 brought anew worry to<br />

businesses and Aaron fielded many<br />

calls in lockdown as clients tried to<br />

plan for an uncertain future. “Igot alot<br />

of calls from worried clients who had<br />

financial issues. Idecided tohelp them<br />

rather than charge them by utilising<br />

my own team who were working from<br />

home during lockdown.”<br />

Months down the track clients have<br />

been needing help with cash-flow<br />

forecasting, wage subsidy claims and<br />

compliance, and finance restructuring.<br />

‘‘If you can drive asnow<br />

Neil Brown said.<br />

The ski season will<br />

Contractors aredesperate<br />

Council has pledged to keep<br />

pressure on government to<br />

allow essential migrant<br />

workers into thecountry to<br />

work in the district’s agribusiness<br />

sector.<br />

Cr StuartWilson said the<br />

decision­makers needed<br />

reminding that thebusiest<br />

time of the season on dairy<br />

farms was calving andthat<br />

was already over. Harvest<br />

was next and they neededto<br />

Construction was slowing<br />

BY ROSS KIDDIE<br />

I've always dismissed it,but<br />

now IfearI’m colour­blind.<br />

Thereason being is that<br />

whenIpicked up anew<br />

MitsubishiMirage from the<br />

dealership, Iaskedthe very<br />

friendly salesman: “Isitthe<br />

brown car out the front?’’<br />

He replied by saying it<br />

wasn’tbrown, butyellow, and<br />

we got intoadebate. We<br />

finished by agreeing it wasa<br />

mustard colour and, as such,<br />

it is very unusual anddifficult<br />

to describe. It is the colourin<br />

the photograph that<br />

accompanies thisarticle, it is<br />

vivid and not acolouryou<br />

oftensee on today’s roads.<br />

However, I’ve beenassured<br />

it is apopular choiceand, as<br />

in my case,acolour which<br />

draws interest and<br />

discussion.<br />

The new colourcoincides<br />

withanew exterior designfor<br />

the Mirage.The new<br />

generation model is sharper,<br />

less rounded, it is edgy and<br />

boldupfront. There’s alsoa<br />

new interior package,there’s<br />

alot morekit in the car,<br />

especially for safety, while<br />

the controls and functions<br />

havebeenfurther designed<br />

for easeofuse and simplicity.<br />

Eventhough the Mirage is<br />

built in Thailand, it<br />

encompassesthe easy­to­use<br />

Japanesedesignphilosophy.<br />

Insidethe compact body<br />

shell, the wee Mirage makes<br />

gooduse of its proportions.<br />

It’s abit of asqueeze in the<br />

rearfor any morethan two<br />

occupants, but there is<br />

appropriate leg andhead<br />

room, likewise up front. The<br />

driver sitsalittle high in the<br />

seat, but other than that the<br />

driving positionis<br />

comfortable. For those who<br />

are less thanagile,gettingin<br />

and out of the driver’s seatis<br />

abreeze because of its height,<br />

there’s no stressput on the<br />

hips.<br />

Elsewhere, the Mirage sits<br />

on much the sameplatformas<br />

before,although asI’ve just<br />

alluded to, thereare<br />

upgradesthroughout which<br />

further enhances itsfive­star<br />

Australasian NewCar<br />

Assessment Program safety<br />

rating.<br />

Underthe rear hatchback<br />

arealies a235­litre load area,<br />

extendingto912 litres with<br />

the rear seats folded. At the<br />

other end sits a1.2­litre,<br />

three­cylinder,twincamshaft,<br />

12­valvepetrol<br />

engine. It hasmodest power<br />

outputs of 58kW and 102Nm,<br />

but the Mirage is light at<br />

895kg so the engine creates<br />

useful, adequateand thrifty<br />

performance.<br />

Mitsubishi has been busy<br />

refining this engine. There’s<br />

no denying the characteristic<br />

tone that accompanies the<br />

three­pot design, but it’s not<br />

overbearingand Iquite like<br />

the honest, deliberate wayin<br />

which it sounds.<br />

Drive is through<br />

continuously variable<br />

transmission. Thereare no<br />

surprises here and no driveractivated<br />

controls. What you<br />

get is asimplesystem that<br />

works well. CVTdoesn’t load<br />

the engine whichallows it to<br />

workwithin its ownfreedom<br />

parameters, it never feels low<br />

on revs,pick­up is always<br />

deliveredatthe driver’s will.<br />

The Mirageisno<br />

powerhouse and acceleration<br />

fits within its designconcept,<br />

it will make astandstill to<br />

100km/h in 13sec.<br />

However, what doesmatter<br />

the most is whatthe Mirage<br />

achievesin terms on fuel<br />

usage,Mitsubishi claimsa<br />

five­litre per 100km combined<br />

cycle average. During my time<br />

in the test car Idid alot of<br />

inner­city commuting and<br />

short low speed journeys,<br />

evenso, the fuel usage<br />

readout was listing an average<br />

of 6l/100km when Itook the<br />

car back to the dealership.<br />

That included my longopen<br />

to 8000m.<br />

Amwolf Artz said he<br />

enjoyed cycling because it<br />

was ‘‘fun, competitive and<br />

awesome’’.<br />

Graeme Frew and his Russian fighter Yak3<br />

plane at <strong>Ashburton</strong> Airport at the weekend.<br />

Noisy Yak<br />

finds fans<br />

At least four thrillseekers took up the<br />

chance to fly in aRussianYak 3fighter<br />

plane, aptly named Full Noise, at the<br />

weekend.<br />

The Russian fighter Yak3 plane,<br />

scheduled to be here last month, was at<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong>Airportoffering those who were<br />

willing, and able to pay, aonce­in­a­lifetime<br />

opportunity of a20­minute flightoverthe<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong>district and beyond.<br />

Full Noise ownerGraemeFrew, of<br />

Blenheim,said it was one of the best fighter<br />

planes that theRussians produced in the<br />

Second WorldWar.<br />

He has owneditsince 2004 and considers<br />

its purchase amemorable moment.<br />

‘‘It was one of those Iwish, Iwonder,why<br />

not moments,and Ijust made it work,’’ he<br />

said.<br />

The Yak3 was restored over time at Jem<br />

AviationLtd in Blenheim and finally flew at<br />

the Wanaka Air Show in 2012.<br />

‘‘I bought it as aproject and had it<br />

restored in Blenheim ... andI’ve been<br />

figuring out how to try and pay for it ever<br />

since.’’<br />

Its ongoing maintenance has nottobeen<br />

too difficulttomaintain,<br />

‘‘It’s agood mixofRussianand American<br />

hardware and believeitornot alot of the<br />

Russian stuffispretty easy to findstill. The<br />

enginescan still getthem overhauled and<br />

the propeller is offaDC3 so it’s all pretty<br />

common stuff,’’ he said.<br />

It’s been‘‘flying beautifully’’.<br />

Mr Frewhas beenanAir NewZealand<br />

pilot for the past25years.<br />

Prior to that he was in the New Zealand<br />

Air Force first signing up as an engineer<br />

aged 16 years old. He thendid apilots<br />

course while in the air force.<br />

In his Yak 3heregularly stopsoveratthe<br />

<strong>Ashburton</strong>Airportasit’s apopular fuelling<br />

destination.<br />

‘‘They’re so supportive,’’ he said of the<br />

district’s aviation community.<br />

He was joined on the <strong>Ashburton</strong>flying<br />

trip by fellow pilot Ryan Southam who also<br />

tookover some ofthe flying duties.<br />

Mr Frewsaid during national Covid­19<br />

lockdownaplan was hatched to offer rides<br />

to people in the Yak 3.<br />

Arear seat wasinstalled andanitinerary<br />

planned. Aplanned visit to <strong>Ashburton</strong>last<br />

monthwas delayed due to Covid­19 but it<br />

went aheadatthe weekend.<br />

The Yak 3has aV12 engine with 1250<br />

horsepower and travels at an average speed<br />

of 420km/hour. It has atop speed of 600km/<br />

hour.<br />

‘‘It burns afair bit of fuelgoingfrom Ato<br />

Bbut you’re also going afair speed as well,’’<br />

he said.<br />

It was built as ashort range interceptor so<br />

afull tank will empty in around 90 minutes<br />

flyingtime.<br />

The rides were tailoredtosuitcustomers<br />

andcould include thethrill of speed or<br />

acrobatic flying.<br />
