Rock climber Matt saves
lamb from certain death
• By Matt Slaughter
SOMEWHERE on the Crater Rim
Walkway near the Greenwood Park
gun emplacements, a lamb will be
thanking its lucky stars because of
Redcliffs’ Matt Winter.
The 34-year-climbing enthusiast,
originally from Yorkshire, England,
received a call from his friend Ria
Holly, of Sumner, on Saturday morning
saying she had found a lamb
perched precariously on a cliff face
on her morning run.
Below the lamb was about a 25m
drop. There was no grass or water for
it to feed on.
Winter and his partner Nina Coyle
didn’t hesitate and were on their way
to help minutes later.
“Ria sounded quite concerned
about the lamb. She said she
wouldn’t live it down if it fell off the
ledge,’’ Winter said. • Turn to page 6
RESCUE: Matt Winter saved a lamb from a cliff edge on Saturday using climbing ropes and help from a
group of his friends. ​

Rising sea levels insurance crisis
Dutch solution
urged to
counter
flooding risk
• By Chris Barclay
REPLICATING flood
prevention measures pioneered
in Holland must be considered
as homeowners in coastal
suburbs risk massive insurance
hikes to safeguard their
properties.
A report forecasting the
impact of climate change on
insurance premiums also feared
some companies may ultimately
refuse to cover seaside dwellings.
Looking ahead to 2050,
climate and insurance specialist
Belinda Storey estimated at least
10,000 homes in New Zealand’s
major cities will effectively
be uninsurable, while policy
exclusions could kick in a decade
from now.
Storey’s study for the
Deep South National
Science Challenge predicted
Christchurch would have 4850
houses affected by premiums
quadrupling after a 13-14cm rise
in sea levels.
Christchurch-based urban
designer James Lunday said the
study should be the catalyst for
action.
“It’s quite dramatic really. It’s
almost as many houses as we lost
in the ‘red zone’. If people want
a scale, it’s kind of that scale,” he
said.
“Those houses won’t disappear
but they could end up like
a lot of properties in the east of
Christchurch after the earthquakes.
Not fixed up, just left, as
is where is.”
While there were no watertight
solutions, Lunday advocated
Christchurch follow Holland’s
example and implement
measures to combat global
warming.
“You can’t just keep building
(sea) walls, Holland gave that up
and they’ve been living with this
forever,” he said.
“What they’ve done is retreat
from certain areas, create wetlands
and build new islands off
the coast. They’re habitat islands
and what they do is they actually
break up waves.
“Clever engineering, building
buildings that are movable . . .
CHALLENGE:
A report
says coastal
properties
in suburbs
like Sumner
could face
spiraling
insurance
premiums
– or not be
covered in
future – due
to climate
change.
floating houses, all the stuff they
do in Holland – that will all be
part of dealing with this.
“We will have to reimagine
and re-engineer our coastlines.
“Everything is coming to a
peak now, and we have to act on
things that we’ve known about
since the 70s.”
Lunday was concerned about
the ramifications for home owners
if insurance costs escalated.
“Ordinary communities, with
ordinary people living out their
lives with no real equity sitting
behind them, these are the people
that will be caught,” he said.
“The exclusive areas are in the
minority. They’ve got the money
to either pay the insurance or
pay off their mortgage and say:
‘I’m happy to take the risk’.
“The majority of people in
New Brighton can’t carry the
risk on their own, they’d lose
everything that they had.”
Ferrymead-based real estate
agent Craig Prier acknowledged
increased insurance premiums
may have an affect on the market
though not “premium waterfront
positions”.
“It’s hard to imagine lying
empty because people can’t afford
to live there,” he said.
“For every one that can’t live
there, there will be someone that
can, or wants to, and they can
afford it,” he said.
The Insurance Council said it
expected companies would keep
covering existing customers – at
higher premiums and excesses –
but might decline new customers
in risky places.
Bindi Norwell, chief executive
of REINZ, admitted insurance
costs and availability was a
developing concern.
“In the next 15 years or
so, as the report suggests, it
could become increasingly
unaffordable to fully insure your
property,” she said.

Down South
In Search of the Great Southern
Land
by Bruce Ansley
In Down South, writer Bruce Ansley goes on a
journey back to his beloved South Island.
From Curio Bay to Golden Bay, in Down South
writer Bruce Ansley sets off on a vast expedition
across the South Island, Te Waipounamu,
visiting the places and people who hold clues
to the south’s famous character. Not so very
long ago, the South Island had most of New
Zealand’s people and just about all of the
money. Gold miners found fortunes in the hills
and rivers, sheep barons straddled mountains,
valleys and plains. Wealthy southerners ruled
the government. Where now lies the South
Island’s golden fleece? And what is its future?
Murder on Mustique
by Anne Glenconner
Mustique is in a state of breathless calm as
a tropical storm edges towards it. Most villa
owners leave but a few remain to party on.
When the body of a young American heiress is
found the island’s sole policeman must begin
a murder investigation just as the storm hits.
An entertaining mystery from the author of Lady
in Waiting.
Ickabog
by J K rowling
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the
happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold,
a king with the finest moustaches you could
possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers and
cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a
person dance with delight when they ate them.
Everything was perfect - except for the misty
Marshlands to the north which, according to
legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog.
Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just
a myth, to scare children into behav ing. But the
funny thing about myths is that sometimes they
take on a life of their own. Could a myth unseat
a beloved king? Could a myth bring a once
happy country to its knees? Could a myth thrust
two children into an adventure they didn’t ask
for and never expected? If you’re feeling brave,
step into the pages of this book to find out
A Promised Land
by Barack Obama
In the stirring, highly anticipated first volume
of his presidential memoirs, Barack Obama
tells the story of his improbable odyssey
from young man searching for his identity to
leader of the free world, describing in strikingly
personal detail both his political education
and the landmark moments of the first term
of his historic presidency—a time of dramatic
transformation and turmoil. Obama takes
readers on a compelling journey from his
earliest political aspirations to the pivotal Iowa
caucus victory that demonstrated the power
of grassroots activism to the watershed night
of November 4, 2008, when he was elected
44th president of the United States, becoming
the first African American to hold the nation’s
highest office.
Girl in the Mirror
by rose Carlyle
Beautiful twin sisters Iris and Summer are
startlingly alike, but beyond what the eye
can see lies a darkness that sets them apart.
Cynical and insecure, Iris has long been
envious of open-hearted Summer’s seemingly
never-ending good fortune, including her
perfect husband, Adam. Called to Thailand to
help sail the family yacht to the Seychelles,
Iris nurtures her own secret hopes for what
might happen on the journey. But when she
unexpectedly finds herself alone in the middle
of the Indian Ocean, everything changes.
Now is her chance to take what she’s always
wanted - the idyllic life she’s always coveted.
But just how far will she go to get the life she’s
dreamed about? And how will she make sure
no one discovers the truth?

Marina closure on the cards
• By Louis Day
Tori Peden
BOATS MAY no longer be able
to berth at Magazine Bay Marina,
but Lyttelton teenagers could still
be allowed to jump off it for years
to come.
The Banks Peninsula Community
Board has requested the city
council approve the closure of
the marina once existing licences
expire or are
terminated. A
date for a final
council decision
is still yet to be
set.
Community
board chairwoman
Tori
Peden said
closure of the
marina had been recommended
as it was no longer fit for purpose
and becoming “quite dangerous.”
“If the council kept it open it
would become quite expensive to
fix,” she said.
However, the board is hoping
for at least one section of the
marina to remain open for recreational
purposes.
“In the long run we are wanting
to keep one arm of the marina
open so children can jump off it.
Children in the area really like to
jump off the end of it, that is apparently
what Lyttelton teenagers
have done for many, many years.”
While recreational activities
such as jumping off the structure
and also fishing are hoped to
continue at the site, berthing is
no longer seen as viable over the
long-term.
Peden said the majority of
boaties had already shifted from
Magazine Bay to Te Ana Marina
in Lyttelton.
“Most of them have already
gone to Te Ana Marina, the
council are just working with
those still left at Magazine Bay,
there are not many of them, to
find the best solution.”
The Magazine Bay Marina was
devastated in a brutal storm in
the year 2000. The marina disintegrated
and 32 vessels berthed
at it sunk after being struck by
130km/h winds.
The storm left 52 remnant piles
in its wake which remained at the
marina until they were removed
by the city council last year.
CHANGE OF SCENERY: The
Banks Peninsula Community
Board has recommended
the closure of the Magazine
Bay Marina as it is no longer
seen fit for purpose. A lot of
boaties have now moved on
to Lyttelton’s Te Ana Marina
mooring facility (below).

yoga pose
of the month
Aeroplane Pose
Aeroplane strengthens your feet, legs, buttocks,
abdomen and back while stretching the back
of your standing leg. It improves balance and
proprioception. It also encourages you to be
confident and courageous as you reach your
chest out in front of your standing foot.
• Stand upright with your feet together, your arms
by your side and your palms turned forwards.
• Centre yourself on your left foot. Ground the
centre of your left heel and the big toe and
inner ball of your left foot firmly into the floor.
• Do not over extend your left knee. Allow there
to be a slight bend at your left knee but make
your left thigh firm. Contract your left thigh
muscles from skin, to muscle, to bone.
• Turn your right thigh inwards a little and
sustain that action throughout the pose.
• Draw inwards and upwards at your belly to
engage your abdominal muscles.
• Reach your right leg straight back behind
you and tilt your torso forwards. Lift your
right leg up to hip height.
• Turn the toes of your right foot straight down
towards the floor, swivel your left hip out
towards the left side slightly and turn your
right hip down to be level with your left hip.
• Draw your shoulder blades towards your spine
and down your back towards your hips. Expand
your chest and reach your chest forward.
• Extend your arms strongly backward alongside
your body towards the back of the room with
the palms of your hands facing the floor.
• Rest your gaze at the floor in front of you. Take
five long, calm breaths before returning to
standing then repeating on the opposite leg
Everything that is disengaged will collapse towards the floor. Contract your muscles to their bones
and create lift and lightness. Soar over the mundane cares of your day and free your mind.

‘I’m trained to do that, it’s all in a day’s work’
• From page 1
“I’m a bit of an animal lover
myself and I work as a rope access
technician, that’s my job.
So, she just asked me if I could
lend my skills, so I got my rock
climbing gear and headed up to
meet her.”
When Winter got there, he
made sure the cliff was safe to
attach his ropes to and abseiled
down to the lamb.
“When I got quite close it tried
darting, so I put my hand out,
grabbed it and stopped it from
jumping off.”
If the lamb had jumped off
Winter said “it would have died
on impact on the jagged rocks
beneath.”
But thanks to his efforts this
didn’t happen. Once it was in
Winter’s arms he climbed up
about 3m and brought it to
safety.
Holly, whose partner Matt
Doherty helped carry the lamb
to safety on foot after it had been
rescued from the cliff, said it was
noticeably light and she is not
sure how long it had been without
water or food.
“It must have been there for
days because it was so light.”
The lamb was carried
away from the cliff and as
this was happening Coyle
saw two strangers with water
bottles.
“They handed over all of their
water. The guy sat there for ages
putting little dribbles in his
hands and then letting the lamb
drink it.”
Once the lamb had the water
and grazed on some grass, the
group let it go free in the hope it
would find its mother again.
Winter said he does not
consider himself a hero saying:
“I’m trained to do that, it’s all in a
day’s work.”
However, he said his family
back home in Yorkshire will be
proud.
SAFE: Nina Coyle helped carry the lamb to safety and
looked on while Ria Holly and a stranger gave it water.
Edith Cavell Corner
Edith Cavell
refurbishment a
real positive for
residents and staff
Having initially working at Edith Cavell as a registered nurse,
Maria Crone has now been Clinical manager there since the
beginning of September. She sees the new refurbishment as
a real positive for both the residents and staff.
Edith Cavell’s Clinical Services Manager, Maria Crone, with resident, Wendy Theobald.
“Edith Cavell has been part of the Sumner community for a long time
and people always comment of the warm and friendly character of the
place,” says Maria.
Although it has a lovely feel, it has been getting a bit tired and she
believes the new improvements will give everyone a renewed sense
of pride. Maria says, “This is many people’s home and to know that
there’s being a real investment in it gives them that sense of really
being cared for.”
Maria tells us the residents are already enjoying the bright new colours
in the gardens. “It’s a special place where people can choose from
a number of different spaces to sit and enjoy the outlook and we’re
looking forward to new plantings to come,” she says.
Maria says the new reception will be a really big plus. “It was difficult
during COVID due to reception being tucked away and difficult to find.
The new reception will be right up front so that when people come in,
they will be greeted straight away by a friendly face,” she says.
Watch this space for more news and updates on Edith Cavell’s refurbishment.

Santa’s Grotto helps fill events void
A 10-DAY Christmas
extravaganza is set to provide
a whirlwind of entertainment
in the city following the
cancellation of major family
events this year.
QE II Park will be transformed
into Santa’s Mega Grotto from
tomorrow to replace the annual
Santa Parade that was scrapped
in light of Covid-19 – a first in its
73-year history.
It also replaces Coca-Cola
Christmas in the Park and the
Canterbury A&P Show, both of
which were cancelled due to the
pandemic.
Organisers The Christchurch
Children’s Christmas Parade
Trust and MultiMedia Communications
did not want
Canterbury children to miss out
this year.
Said trust manager Pam
Morris: “With the cancellation of
all three family-aligned events,
the trust didn’t want the children
of Canterbury to miss out
completely on a little Christmas
joy and entertainment, so we
decided on this contingency
event.
“The trust now owns a huge
building with a mezzanine floor
in the middle, with viewing on
both sides.”
The building will be adorned
with Christmas lighting, and

Specials available South Island only from Monday 30th November until STAFFORD Sunday STREET 13th
December 2020 or while stocks last. Wine and beer available at stores with an off
licence. Wine and beer purchases restricted to persons aged 18 years old and over.
ONE OF the early industries in Heathcote
was the Zealandia Soap and Candle
Company.
In 1896 the company purchased land
near the current Mitre 10 Megastore at
Ferrymead. The site was formerly used by
a carpet factory.
The new factory was large and produced
washing soap, wax and candles.
Fifty tons of soap was made each month.
The popular brand names were Velvet
soap and Searchlight candles.
The speciality product was a coldwater
soap patented by a Mr Biggs of
Christchurch.
Just a year after opening tragedy struck
when the manager, 38-year-old John
Myles Maxwell, was killed by a 4cwt cask
of tallow.
As it was being raised into a soap tank
the cask fell across Maxwell’s chest and
head.
He died immediately. The Star of
February 5, 1897, says: “The deceased,
who leaves a wife and three children, was
greatly esteemed by all who knew him,
and his untimely death will be deeply
regretted”.
The jury at the inquest returned a
verdict of accidental death and made
several recommendations to improve
safety at the factory.
There is no sign today of the soap works
other than the occasional piece of concrete
or iron dug up by volunteers as they plant
native trees and shrubs.
The city council created new ponds
there in 1999 and more than 130,000
plants have been put in to recreate the
coastal wetland.
On Sunday afternoons at 3pm
volunteers meet to plant, weed and mulch
at the reserve. You are very welcome to
join them.

Alex Todd: League player of the decade
• By Will Evans
LINWOOD KEAS and
Canterbury Bulls stalwart
Alex Todd’s naming as the
Canterbury Rugby League player
of the decade is a reminder
there will always be a place for
hard-working, consistent, tough
grafters in the code.
Following in the footsteps of
Jonny Limmer, the CRL’s player
of the 2000-10 decade, the prop
was judged Canterbury’s standout
player of the 2010s by a panel
comprising the Bulls’ coaches
over that time frame – Brent Stuart,
Mike Dorreen, Darrell Coad
and Andrew Auimatagi.
The judges voted for their
three top players of the decade
on a 3-2-1 basis – Todd was the
resounding winner with 10 of a
possible 12 votes.
Hornby duo James Baxendale
and Corey Lawrie, Celebration
great Kyle Leka, Riccarton icon
Shane Tamatea and Linwood veteran
Erwin Sauni also received
votes.
“It means bloody heaps,” said
Todd, the son of Sumner Surf
Life Saving Club stalwart Craig.
“Considering the players I’ve
played alongside, to be receiving
this award is pretty unbelievable.”
Todd grew up in Redcliffs and
developed through Linwood’s
junior ranks. After dabbling in
rugby union with Sumner, he returned
to the Keas as a teenager
and made his senior debut as the
club took out the 2007 premier
reserves title.
A year later he helped the Keas
lift the Pat Smith Trophy by beating
Papanui in the grand final
and in 2009 he made his debut
as a 19-year-old in the Stuartcoached
Bartercard Premiershipwinning
side.
Todd briefly returned to the
15-a-side game with Sumner in
2014, but he was back on Linwood’s
roster the following
season and immediately regained
his representative spot.
“I definitely missed the league
environment, but going to rugby
was something I wanted to do –

the Canterbury Rugby League’s player of the 2010-20 decade.
go back to my junior club where I
played rugby as a kid, give it a go
and see what it was about,” Todd
said.
The durable Todd has been at
the forefront during the Keas’
run of five straight CRL grand
final triumphs from 2016-20.
Incredibly, he has won the Mel
Cooke Trophy as the standout

player in the decider an unprecedented
three times – in 2017-18
and again this season.
He has also been a fixture for
his province over the past six
seasons, again captaining an
experienced Bulls squad in the
NZRL National Premiership
campaign.
The 31-year-old credits his individual
success to some simple
rugby league principles.
“My fitness, and just turning
up and helping my mate out on
the field. I’m not the flashest of
players, but I try and get in and
do my job,” he said.
“A lot of it’s to do with our
culture at Linwood as well. You
always want to be there for your
mate and not let them down.”
A regular skipper for Linwood
and Canterbury, the battle-hardened
Todd has slipped seamlessly
into a leadership role in recent
seasons.
“It’s something I’ve slowly
moved into. I’d been at Linwood
for a wee while and when Aga
(Fiso) stepped away from the
leadership group (he retired in
2017) it was a natural progression
to move into that role with Paul
(Sauni).
“I’m probably not the biggest
talker but I do try to lead
through my actions.”
If there has been one constant
in Todd’s career, it’s the guidance
of Auimatagi.
He was Todd’s first premier
reserves coach, while the pair
played together in the Keas’ 2008
grand final win and the Bulls’
successful Bartercard Premiership
campaign a year later.
Auimatagi and Todd then
teamed up as coach and frontrow
anchor in five straight grand
finals (2015-19) for four wins,
and in every Bulls campaign
since 2016.
“Andrew’s had a huge influence
on my career,” Todd said.
“When I started playing premier
Bs in 2007 he was my coach,
and I came through and played
alongside him at club and rep
level, now he’s coached me for a
long time. But he’s a really good
bloke and really knows the game.
“Another guy is (former
teammate and current Keas
coach) Aga, he’s a pretty amazing
leader and someone I’ve always
looked up to,” he said, adding he
was in no rush to hang up the
boots.
“As long as the body keeps
holding up alright I’ll keep playing
for as long as I can. You’re a
long time retired.”
The 150-game milestone for
the Keas is the next achievement
on Todd’s horizon in 2021 after
he brought up three figures in
2017.
CRL chief executive Duane
Fyfe praised Todd’s contribution
when the award was presented.
“‘Toddy is a great ambassador
when representing his club and
province, and has a reputation
for doing his talking on the field
with his direct style of play.
“This is an outstanding
accolade based on his
commitment, perseverance and
achievement over the previous
decade.”

Wine
Tickle the urge with chilled rose
• By Mark Henderson
WHILE ROSE sells year round,
I’m still a bit “old school” in my
habits.
For me, the combination
of warmth, fresh air and the
sun caressing the hilltops in a
cloudless sky at the end of a busy
day begins to tickle the urge for a
glass of chilled rose.
I hope that some of the
following might help to tickle that
urge for you.
2019 Aurum Organic pinot
gris rose
Price: $28
Rating: Excellent
Peachy onion skin hue.
Savoury notes lead with
nectarine and stonefruit, a hint of
yeasty Marmite later.
Delightfully creamy texture,
a burst of fruit, stonefruit, red
apple, pear with time.
Generously flavoured, with
richness and depth to the fruit.
A full-bodied Rose in the slot
for summer drinking, while its
power will readily complement
food.
www.aurumwines.com
2020 Durvillea
Marlborough rose
Price: $20
Rating: Very good to excellent
Pale, peachy pink hue.
Attractive fragrance with
strawberries and cream. Dried
strawberry, pink grapefruit, gum
and musk are joined on the palate
by a wisp of savouriness.
Builds surprising power and
richness, a sour cherry/cranberry
nuance providing a counter to the
sweet fruit.
An apricot kernel bittersweet
note adds to the lip-smacking
close.

2020 The Vegan Wine
Project South Australian
rose
Price: $18-$19
Rating: Excellent
Onion skin shade. Subtle
at first, but quickly sees sweet
fragrance, fruit sherbet,
strawberry and rhubarb crumble
notes build.
Drier than the nose might
suggest, the cool and racy
palate highlighting strawberry,
rockmelon and green herb hints.
Refreshing interplay between
the growing sweet fruit and tangy
acidity.
Appealing style with lovely
crispness.
www.theveganwineproject.com
2020 Jules Taylor The
Jules Rose
Price: $24.99
Rating: Very good to excellent
Pale rose petal shade. Spicy,
smoker’s lolly, turkish delight, red
berries.
A touch of sweetness leads,
mixed summer berries and
cream followed by a toffee apple
hint. Nice flavour weight and
integration, a subtle hint of
sweetness, while still fresh, juicy
and crisp with a relatively dry
finish. I can see a lot of consumer
appeal here.
www.julestaylor.com
2020 Otuwhero Estate
Hawke’s Bay rose
Price: $19.95
Rating: Very good to excellent
Rose with a copper tinge.
Savoury at first, sweeter fragrance
growing, rose petal, a wisp of
gooseberry.
Crunchy and bright in the
mouth, sweeter fruits hinting at
summer berries, a little lavender.
This builds nicely with aeration,
showing a touch more sweetness,
yet finishing relatively dry and
crisp. Very easy drinking.
www.otuwine.com
2019 Invivo SJP Sud de
France rose
Price: $19.99
Rating: Excellent
Invivo’s collaboration with
Sarah Jessica Parker.
Palest onion skin hue. Beguiling
nose, umami and earth hints
shifting to cream, stonefruit and
spices. Really tangy, crisp palate,
racy acidity driving this. Ripe yet
not sweet with mandarin/pink
grapefruit notes.
Mouthwatering close. High on
the refreshment factor and a great
food choice.
www.invivowines.com
2019 Saint Clair Pinot gris
rose
Price: $20
Rating: Excellent
Peachy onion skin hue.
Intriguing nose, herbs and river
stones at first, moving to ripe
peach, spices and perfume.
After the delicacy of the nose,
there’s a burst of flavour on the
palate with stonefruits, musk,
wine gums and boiled sweets with
zesty acidity keeping this fresh
and crisp.
A juicy, long, lip-smacking
finish. Drinking superbly now.

2019 Ngatarawa
Glazebrook Black Label
Hawke’s Bay rose
Price: $25
Rating: Very good
Orange/onion skin hue. Smoke,
wildness, tilled earth spices.
Brooding palate with power
and weight, the berryfruit notes
growing as it opens up.
A quinine like bittersweet
element brings things to a zesty
close. With its powerful build,
this would complement richer
summer foods: a nice foil to a
barbecue perhaps?

Roast pork from the oven or rotisserie
Cook your Christmas
pork a little differently
this year, after all, 2020
has been very different.
And for Boxing Day
brunch, try macaroni
cheese with a difference
Hornado de chancho
marinated roast pork leg
Ingredients
4½ kg pork, leg, boned and
rolled (ask your butcher to do
this for you)
2 tbsp ground cumin
2 tbsp sea salt
1½ tbsp ground paprika
2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
4 limes, juice only
3 bottles lager, 330ml each
80g butter, melted
Marinated roast pork leg will make a tasty treat for Christmas Day. Macaroni and cauliflower cheese will make an
effortless, fun meal for Boxing Day.
Directions
Use a small sharp knife to score
the skin of the pork and make several
deep incisions in the pork leg.
Place in a non-reactive tray.
Combine the garlic, cumin, salt,
paprika and pepper in a bowl.
Pour the lime juice over the
pork and rub into all sides, then
rub the spiced garlic paste over the
pork, pushing it into the incisions.
Cover and leave to marinate in
the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours.
Pour the beer over the pork,
cover and return to the refrigerator
to marinate for a further 12 to
24 hours, turning occasionally so
that the leg marinates evenly.
If you don’t have a rotisserie the
park will cook in a normal oven
using the same time frame.
Preheat a gas barbecue fitted
with a rotisserie to 200 deg C. All
the burners should be turned to
medium.
Insert the rotisserie rod lengthwise
through the leg of pork,
ensuring the pork leg is evenly
balanced. Secure the rotisserie spit
according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Turn off the burners directly underneath
the pork, leaving the side
burners on medium. Place a drip
tray filled with 1cm water underneath
the pork.
Baste the pork with the melted
butter. Reduce the heat to 180 deg
C and cook the pork for 1½ to 2
hours, or until the skin is crisp and
golden brown and the meat is just
cooked through. Test with a skewer,
the juices should run clear.
Use barbecue mitts to remove
the rotisserie rod. Take the pork
off the rod and place on a large
tray.
Cover with foil and set aside to
rest for 10 minutes.
Cut into slices and serve with
peruvian onion salsa, brazilian
rice, and grilled red capsicum.
Macaroni and cauliflower
cheese
Ingredients
1 cauliflower
1 1/2 cups macaroni
cheese
white sauce
2 drops worcestershire sauce
pinch salt
Sliced tomato to decorate
1 bacon bits, (optional)
Directions
Banch the cauliflower.
Cook the macaroni in salted
water until tender.
Make a simple white sauce and
melt a good amount of cheese into
it. A little worcestershire sauce
helps boost the flavour.
Sit the macaroni and cauliflower
in a baking dish.
Pour over the cheesy sauce and
gently mix through the contents.
You could add grilled bacon
pieces.
Decorate with some tomato
slices, add a little more grated
cheese to the top and bake in a
moderate oven until brown and
bubbling.

New Yaris buyer faces tough decisions
MAKE NO MISTAKE, Toyota’s
new hatchback Yaris is everything
you would want – cheeky styling,
fuel efficiency and value pricing.
However, there is a challenge
facing any potential buyer, that
being the hybrid is the best in
the series, and that may be a step
too far price-wise for those in the
budget car market.
I base those comments on the
three drives I’ve had in the new
Yaris, I’ve driven two petrol-only
models and a hybrid, and the latter
wins out with its economy and
driving experience, the connection
to electric power makes for
effortless motoring.
Now, I’m not saying the
petrol-only model isn’t worth
consideration, I still like it, and
most of that is because its threecylinder
engine is also thrifty and
truly delightful in terms of honesty.
This evaluation focuses on the
high-spec ZR variant which lists
at $29,990, an extra $3000 buying
you into the hybrid. Bear in mind,
too, that the range starts at $25,990
for the GX petrol model which
I evaluated in these columns in
September. It is also available in
hybrid form at $27,990.
All models have the same basic
petrol powerplant – a 1.5-litre
unit that, as I’ve mentioned, it only
has three combustion chambers.
Regular readers will recall my
enthusiasm for that layout and in
recent years many manufacturers
have opted for that configuration.
To me it makes a lot of sense, the
less reciprocating mass you have
the more efficient and smooth the
engine becomes.
However, those who do go the
three-cylinder way will need to
keep in mind that it is an experience
just that little bit different, there are
sounds that are foreign to that of say,
a four-cylinder engine of the same
capacity there is a distinctive tone
and the Yaris buyer in all forms will
need to adjust to that.
In petrol form it is listed with
an 88kW power output and
145Nm of torque. These figures are
relatively healthy for its capacity,
and if you take into account that
it is small and light at just 4m and
1075kg respectively, the five-door
hatchback feels nimble and is no
slouch against the clock. You can
expect a standstill to 100km/h
acceleration time of around 10sec
and 7.5sec to make 80-120km/h.
On the subject of figures Toyota
claims a 4.9-litre per 100km
combined cycle fuel usage average.
That’s a bold claim, but it is one
that is within target. I took the
evaluation car on a long highway
loop, and on the open road
straights the fuel usage readout was
TOYOTA YARIS ZR: Petrol-only model has tough
competition from its hybrid stablemate.
listing 4l/100km instantaneously
at 100km/h. That resulted in a
dash display average of 5.5l/100km
when I took the test car back to
the dealership, which is not that far
distant from Toyota’s claim.
Of course, those figures are
nowhere near those of the hybrid
with its 3.3l/100km, but I wasn’t
disappointed given that on
occasion I allowed the wee engine
to work freely towards the top end.
Drive is sent to the front wheels
through a continuously variable
transmission, this is fast becoming
Toyota’s gearbox of choice in
the models it offers that are
earmarked for efficiency. In the
ZR-spec petrol-only Yaris there
are paddle-shifters which will lock
the transmission into any one of
10 pre-set steps. That function is
useful when slowing for corners, or
for inclines, up or down.
The CVT ratio has been
structured to provide that
reasonable acceleration to highway
speed, and once there the engine is
relaxed at 100km/h, turning over
slowly at 2000rpm.
Aimed at the twists and turns
out of the Waimakariri River gorge
bridge, the Yaris felt sprightly and
agile. The chassis isn’t disturbed
by mid-corner bumps or road
deviations, the suspension does
a good job of controlling body
balance.
The Yaris is also a comfortable
car for four adults; it’s a bit of a
squeeze width-wise for three adults
in the rear, and leg room depends
totally on how far back the front
seat passengers have their seats, but
there’s no shortage of head room, it
is clever in the way it translates its
limited space into occupant comfort.
In ZR spec, the Yaris gets a
good level of fitment that should
please the budget-conscious buyer
and those who rate safety as a key
ingredient. To that end, when
• Price – Toyota Yaris ZR,
$29,990
• Dimensions – Length,
3940mm; width, 1695mm;
height, 1500mm
• Configuration – Threecylinder,
front-wheeldrive,
1490cc, 88kW,
145Nm, continuously
variable automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 10.8sec
• Fuel usage – 4.9l/100km
crash tested, the series should
easily earn a five-star Australasian
New Car Assessment Program
rating, thanks to the Toyota
SafetySense suite of technologies.
There are too many features to
mention in detail, but I particularly
like the head-up display and radar
cruise control.
My daughter works for an
organisation that has at least a
dozen Yaris’ – mostly all white
– that are used as pool cars on
a daily basis. I told her they will
probably be replaced in time with
the newcomer. She’s hoping some
of the trendy colours Toyota is
offering in the new model will be
incorporated into the fleet.
I hope that when that time comes
some would be hybrids, but if not,
then the petrol-only model is still a
very worthy consideration.
Just as you would expect from
Toyota, the new Yaris is a smart car
and one which pleases in all forms,
you can expect it to last forever and
at the same time be charmed at
every drive with that delightful wee
engine up front.

REAL ESTATE
Risque, Renowned and Rich with History
15 Voelas Rd, Lyttelton
Asking price $669,000
3 bedrooms 1 bathrooms 2 car garage
Listing no. OPA25226
ADVERTISING FEATURE
If the walls of this historic villa could talk, they
would have stories to tell, they undoubtedly
hold secrets. Dating back to the 1880s,this
period residence is timeless in design and
offers exceptional views over the Harbour and
the newly built Te Ana Marina.
While it is well-suited as a family or first home,
this hasn't always been the case. Previously, it
was reserved as a place of pleasure having
famously operated as the local Massage Parlour,
and then conversely was the residence of a
Lyttelton Police Officer.
Timber floors, leadlight windows, the charming
verandah and the home's high ceilings all serve
as elegant reminders of the past. Due to the
home's era, it could naturally benefit from some
upgrades, and buyers will appreciate that they
can live incredibly comfortably while deciding
how they will refresh the decor and ultimately
add value to the property.
Arranged across two floors, the layout is
exceedingly practical and includes an open
plan kitchen, dining and family area on the
ground floor which is complemented by a
separate lounge that enjoys the warmth of a
new pellet fire. A study, bedroom and the
bathroom are also placed downstairs while the
remaining two bedrooms are positioned
upstairs. Toilet facilities are conveniently
located on each level.
Contemporary comfort has been introduced
in the form of a heat pump that provides
comfort throughout the year. The kitchen and
bathroom are both highly functional but
would respond superbly to modernisation.
Located only a short stroll from London Street
with its bespoke shops, cafes and eateries, it's
also near Lyttelton Primary School which
broadens the home's appeal.
This property is well-recognised in the
community and has been home to many locals,
so if you wish to secure a distinctive slice of
history, then you are advised to act quickly.
