<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 />

He is planning to ride hisGloria in<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 />
Giovanni’s Pizzeria is open<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 />

EA Networks chief executive<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 />
cheapest.<br />
EA Networks will be starting<br />

highlightwhich electricity<br />
retailersavailable in Mid<br />

Mid Canterbury farmers say<br />
the new rulesare not workable<br />
andnot needed in Canterbury<br />
because Environment<br />
Canterbury already has a<br />
regional plan to improve water<br />
quality in amuch more<br />
targeted and effective way.<br />
Ecan’s plan requires<br />
intensive farms to holda<br />

must follow good management<br />
practices, account for all<br />
fertiliser use and have farm<br />

‘‘They are doomed to fail and<br />
it is not helping morale.’’<br />
He said morale had lifted<br />
through the Covid10<br />
lockdown, and prices for stock,<br />
milk and grains were high.<br />
‘‘But this policy statement<br />
has dampened that<br />
enthusiasm. It is very poor<br />
policy from the Government.’’<br />

on the regulations last year,<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 />

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 />

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 />

<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 />

The ski season will<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 />

mixed outcomes overall the<br />

Construction was slowing<br />
withall builderspositive but<br />
very cautious of thefuture,<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 />
roadjourney which offered an<br />
amazing 3.4l/100km<br />
instantaneous figureat<br />
100km/h, the enginespinning<br />
overfreely at 2000rpm.<br />
Threecylinder engines are<br />
generally strongon torque and<br />
it responds well to midrange<br />
throttle request, an overtaking<br />
manoeuvre (80120km/h) can<br />
be achieved in 9sec. With the<br />
freedomofCVT the engine<br />
builds revs andinitiates<br />
momentum quickly,well akin<br />
to its roleanyway.<br />
The Mirage also feels light<br />
from behind the wheel, the<br />
electric power steeringsystem<br />
doesn’t affordalot of<br />
feedback,but the tyres (<strong>17</strong>5/55<br />

are of highqualityand have<br />
high grip levels.<br />
It is also the perfect city<br />

like it for its build quality and<br />

The award wasrevoked<br />
from the couple who had<br />

(of the tweets) was dealt<br />
with at thetime,and howa<br />
similar situation could be<br />
avoided in the future.<br />
Ms Hughes said it was<br />
important that“all<br />
involved in these awards<br />
recognise the dangers of<br />

to remind allparties of this<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 />
But Mr Frew said they werenot into<br />

known Australian publisher of Antiques and<br />
Collectables Price Guide Books, and we were<br />
