Community food pantry<br />

broken into five times<br />

PHOTOS: DANIEL ALVEY<br />

SMASHED: Volunteers Loretta Te Paa and Carmen Smith assess the damage after another break-in at The Pantry on Piko Cres in Riccarton.<br />

• By Daniel Alvey<br />

FRUSTRATED is one word to<br />

describe how the volunteers at a<br />

community pantry feel after five<br />

break-ins in three weeks.<br />

The Pantry is a free<br />

community food distribution<br />

initiative open two days a week<br />

outside the Plunket building on<br />

Piko Cres in Riccarton to help<br />

people in need.<br />

Co-ordinator Loretta Te Paa<br />

said it has been difficult to keep<br />

repairing the damage each time.<br />

“I am frustrated. I don’t know<br />

what else to do,” she said.<br />

“It is just disheartening, we<br />

are trying to feed people and<br />

this happens to us all the time.”<br />

She ruled out the rising cost<br />

of food as a motive for the<br />

break-ins. The pantry, which<br />

has been operating since <strong>20</strong>18,<br />

was based at the Riccarton West<br />

Community Garden on Peverel<br />

St, <strong>20</strong>0m from its current<br />

location.<br />

The Pantry serves<br />

40-50 people a week on<br />

average while open on<br />

Tuesday and Thursday from<br />

11am-noon.<br />

Te Paa said the break-ins<br />

won’t stop them operating<br />

the service. “Not on my shift.<br />

My husband and I have decided<br />

no one is going to get the better<br />

of us. We’re not giving up yet.”<br />

To break-in they ripped down<br />

part of a wall which had just<br />

been built.<br />

“They smashed the new<br />

pailings and ripped them off the<br />

wall.”<br />

They then smashed their<br />

way into the storage room and<br />

ransacked the ice cream and<br />

drinks. When Te Paa arrived<br />

to clean up she found they had<br />

also smashed a table, snapping<br />

its metal legs.<br />

“It’s just a mess there’s<br />

melted ice cream, rubbish, and<br />

smashed bits everywhere,” Te<br />

Paa said.<br />

Te Paa has thought about<br />

installing CCTV but is worried<br />

the cameras would be targeted<br />

too.<br />

“I reckon they’ll just smash<br />

them off.”<br />

Te Paa filed an online report<br />

with police but is yet to hear<br />

back.<br />

So fast to everywhere...<br />

the park, the village, the community, the city<br />

Join Hub Stylist,<br />

Vicki McMillan<br />

for fun<br />

45-minute<br />

workshops<br />

sharing tips<br />

and style tricks<br />

on fashion<br />

The Hub Hornby is again hosting a workshop series<br />

focused on real fashion. This year it’s all about<br />

wardrobe sustainability, trying to make the most<br />

of what you have and how fewer items can create<br />

lots of interest in your wardrobe. Reworking what<br />

you have is a great way to save money, reinvent<br />

items you may have overlooked and styling them in<br />

a way that makes your wardrobe feel fresh and up<br />

to date.<br />

Vicki McMillan from Beauty & Style hosts these<br />

workshops and takes you through different ideas<br />

you can explore and get into the detail of style, such<br />

as textures, shapes, colour and what makes your<br />

personal style. You will be able to look at what your<br />

style is - what different styles can be explored and<br />

how to reinvent your wardrobe, reflecting where you<br />

are at right now! It’s not all about restocking your<br />

wardrobe with everything new but looking at what<br />

you already have, and how items can be coordinated<br />

and combined together, creating new looks with a<br />

couple of well considered new purchases. Let’s all<br />

shop smarter, so when you open your wardrobe, you<br />

can never again say, ‘I have nothing to wear!’<br />

Vicki will be running five different workshops<br />

throughout the year - 45-minute sessions covering<br />

a variety of clothing, beauty, makeup, lifestyle tips<br />

and how to make you feel comfortable and stylish<br />

while still feeling like yourself. The sessions will<br />

cover capsule wardrobes, curvy (dressing beyond<br />

a size 14), menopause, plus one on one single<br />

store-style sessions.<br />

All of the main sessions are free to attend,<br />

however, if you want to come along as a style<br />

VIP, you receive an exclusive ‘goodie-bag’ with<br />

extra styling information to help you at home and<br />

goodies!<br />

As well as our Free workshops, Vicki will offer<br />

individual Shopping experiences working with you<br />

one-on-one. These are at the discounted price<br />

of $100 and include fantastic discounts from<br />

participating retailers giving you the opportunity to<br />

redeem your booking fee back!<br />

Remember fashion should be fun. Creating<br />

wardrobe choices to represent your style and<br />

lifestyle is key to a wearable collection. Whether<br />

you need staple investment pieces to last a few<br />

seasons or pops of fashion items to update your<br />

current wardrobe, these sessions are designed<br />

to get you inspired about your wardrobe again.<br />

CAPSULE AUTUMN/WINTER<br />

WARDROBE WORKSHOP<br />

How to pick the perfect items to suit your<br />

lifestyle and personal taste.<br />

Let Vicki teach you the tricks in this masterclass on<br />

choosing the right pieces for your capsule and how to<br />

mix and match them to create multiple looks. A denim<br />

jacket or a blazer, a black skirt or a wide leg trouser.<br />

FREE to attend, no booking required<br />

TARGET: Rangi Ruru’s<br />

Aggie Weston takes aim<br />

during the New Zealand<br />

secondary schools’ water<br />

polo championships. Inset<br />

– after winning the South<br />

Island champs two weeks<br />

ago, Rangi went on to finish<br />

fifth.<br />

Respectable fifth place for Rangi<br />

• By Jaime Cunningham<br />

RANGI RURU Girls’ School<br />

have come away with a<br />

respectable fifth place to finish as<br />

the top South Island school at the<br />

New Zealand secondary schools’<br />

water polo championships.<br />

Rangi Ruru, alongside St<br />

Margaret’s College, St Bede’s<br />

College and Christchurch<br />

Boys’ High, represented the<br />

South Island at the division 1<br />

tournament, held at Jellie Park<br />

and Tairoa: QEII last week.<br />

After a tough loss against<br />

Diocesan’s second team<br />

(Auckland), Rangi went on to<br />

win four games to finish fifth in<br />

a tournament often dominated<br />

by North Island schools.<br />

Rangi were challenged with<br />

many tight games – a different<br />

story from their dominance at<br />

the South Island champs two<br />

weeks ago, which they won<br />

convincingly.<br />

With eventual winners St<br />

Cuthbert’s (Auckland) and<br />

bronze medallists Baradene<br />

College (Auckland) in pool B<br />

FOCUS: South Island champions St Bede’s College finished<br />

10th after a 7-6 loss against Christchurch Boys’ High<br />

School.<br />

with Rangi, the team did well<br />

not to lose by more than six goals<br />

in any of the games.<br />

St Margaret’s struggled in<br />

the competitive pool A, and<br />

suffered heavy deficits in the<br />

pool play.<br />

However, the team found some<br />

form in the latter matches of the<br />

tournament, narrowly losing<br />

8-6 to Diocesan A in the plate<br />

semi-final before finishing with a<br />

5-5 draw against Westlake Girls’<br />

High (Auckland).<br />

In the boys’ competition,<br />

neither St Bede’s nor<br />

Christchurch Boys’ made the<br />

championship quarter finals<br />

after close losses in pool play.<br />

St Bede’s narrowly missed out<br />

on qualifying from pool C with<br />

their win, loss and draw against<br />

<strong>Western</strong> Springs, Rangitoto<br />

(Auckland) and Hamilton Boys’<br />

High respectively.<br />

Similarly, Christchurch Boys’<br />

finished third in pool D after<br />

only managing one win, against<br />

Kings College (Auckland).<br />

Both St Bede’s and<br />

Christchurch Boys’ went on<br />

to win their three games that<br />

followed pool play, and met in<br />

the plate final on Sunday.<br />

Although St Bede’s went<br />

into the match as South Island<br />

champions, Christchurch Boys’<br />

found the net more in the ninthplace<br />

playoff, winning the<br />

game 7-6.<br />

COMPETITION: Christchurch Boys’ overcame St Bede’s<br />

College to win the plate final.<br />

ANZAC DAY<br />

TUESDAY APRIL 25, <strong>20</strong>23<br />

Remembering our Anzacs<br />

“The darkness, calm and chill of the early morning; the sound of<br />

the single tap of the drum of the parade; the emotionless faces<br />

of the catafalque guard, and the mournful notes of Last Post<br />

sounded by a lone bugler, combine to give a feeling of deep<br />

solemnity. It is the intensity of the symbolism which contributes<br />

to its powerful impact upon participants; indeed what underlies its<br />

popularity. In a country with few public rituals, the Dawn Service<br />

continues to provide a sense of occasion as a meaningful ritual of<br />

remembrance.”<br />

rsa.org.nz<br />

Every year Anzac Day is observed on <strong>April</strong> 25 by communities<br />

throughout New Zealand and Australia to remember those who have<br />

served and those who lost their lives in war. The term ANZAC is the<br />

acronym for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, and was first<br />

used in World War 1. These groups of soldiers back then were known<br />

as ‘the Anzacs’.<br />

Anzac commemorations may consist of one or more ceremonies –<br />

one at dawn (timed to coincide with the initial landings at Gallipoli<br />

by Australian troops who were the first ashore) and/or one later<br />

in the morning. The ceremonies are rich in tradition and generally<br />

begin with a parade of returned servicemen and military personnel<br />

followed by cadets, youth groups and local dignitaries. War veterans,<br />

proudly sporting their medals lead the parade, which leads to a local<br />

cenotaph or memorial gate where the ceremony includes a service<br />

with hymns, laying of wreaths, dedications, prayers and the Last Post<br />

played on a bugle. Morning tea follows and allows people to share<br />

memories and catch up with friends and neighbours.<br />

Anzac Day was first observed by servicemen in 1916 to mark the<br />

anniversary of New Zealand and Australian soldiers landing on the<br />

Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915. It soon became a day where all New<br />

Zealanders and Australians took time to remember the men and<br />

women who perished in the Great War. In 1921, Anzac Day became<br />

an official holiday and by 1922 it was declared a full public holiday<br />

where shops, banks and hotels remained closed for the day.<br />

Symbol of remembrance<br />

The red (or Flanders) poppy is a symbol of remembrance and hope<br />

all over the world and, in some countries, is worn on Armistice<br />

Day, however in New Zealand the red poppy is commonly worn<br />

on Anzac Day. The first Poppy Day appeal was on <strong>April</strong> 24 in 1922,<br />

where funds from the sales of small and large silk poppies helped<br />

relieve suffering in war-ravaged northern France. A paper version<br />

of the poppy is now sold by the Royal New Zealand Returned<br />

Services Association on Poppy Day to raise awareness for Anzac<br />

Day and funds for returned soldiers and their families and local<br />

communities.<br />

‘They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:<br />

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.<br />

At the going down of the sun and in the morning<br />

We will remember them.’<br />

ANZAC Biscuits<br />

Energy and fibre dense, and able to store for long periods of time, these humble<br />

biscuits helped give the New Zealand and Australian soldiers the energy they<br />

needed during the war. Wives, mothers and daughters at home wanted to do<br />

something to help, and the result was these Anzac biscuits, which were shipped<br />

off and delivered to their men on the front line.<br />

• ½ cup wholemeal flour<br />

INSTRUCTIONS<br />

Preheat oven to 180°C/355 Fahrenheit. Line a large<br />

baking/oven tray with baking paper. If you don’t have<br />

a large tray, use 2 medium sized trays and bake the<br />

biscuits in two batches.<br />

Place golden syrup, butter or coconut oil and brown<br />

sugar in a medium saucepan and melt over a low heat,<br />

mixing well.<br />

Mix baking soda with boiling water to dissolve, then<br />

add to melted butter mixture in the pot, along with<br />

the rolled oats, coconut and flour. Stir all ingredients<br />

together until well combined. If the mixture looks too<br />

wet, add a tiny bit more flour. Leave mixture until cool<br />

enough to handle and firm enough to roll into balls. You<br />

can speed this up by placing the mixture in the fridge<br />

for 5 minutes.<br />

Roll heaped tablespoons of mixture into balls and<br />

arrange on prepared baking tray (leaving them at least<br />

3cm apart to allow them to spread during baking).<br />

Flatten slightly with the back of a fork. Bake for 15-18<br />

minutes or until light golden brown.<br />

Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before storing<br />

in an airtight container. They will crisp up as they cool.<br />

We’re planning for our<br />

Christchurch’s housing and business development rules are changing<br />

Ōtautahi Christchurch’s population is growing. Over the next 30 years, it’s predicted we’ll need more than 40,000<br />

new houses to ensure everyone has a place to live, and Christchurch City Council is planning for that now.<br />

Our growth challenge<br />

We need to provide for the growth of housing and<br />

business in the best locations in Christchurch, to<br />

help address issues like climate change and housing<br />

shortage. This means more houses where there’s good<br />

access to shops, services, work, school, public transport<br />

networks and infrastructure.<br />

Where there’s good reason, we also need to ensure<br />

development remains restricted or limited to protect<br />

and maintain areas of value.<br />

These changes won’t happen overnight. Over time the<br />

look and feel of the city will change, and we want to plan<br />

for that and keep what people value.<br />

A new direction in urban planning<br />

The planning rules have changed for New Zealand’s main urban areas. We need to<br />

follow the new national direction to allow greater housing and business development<br />

within Christchurch’s existing urban footprint.<br />

There are new national standards for multi-unit housing developments called the<br />

Medium-Density Residential Standards (MDRS). These aim to make it easier for denser<br />

housing developments to happen. Once they come into effect, up to three dwellings<br />

of up to three storeys can be developed on a property in Christchurch without needing<br />

to apply for a resource consent, as long as all other rules have been met.<br />

Not all parts of Christchurch are suitable for the MDRS, so we’re proposing special<br />

rules, called Qualifying Matters, apply to recognise heritage and cultural features, to<br />

protect major utility, infrastructure, and people in areas vulnerable to natural hazards,<br />

among other things.<br />

What we’re proposing<br />

We’re proposing important changes to the city’s planning rulebook, the District Plan, via two plan changes – the Housing and Business Choice<br />

Plan Change (Plan Change 14), and the Heritage Plan Change (Plan Change 13). Both plan changes were formally notified on 17 March <strong>20</strong>23.<br />

Replacing some existing residential zones in<br />

the city with two new ones – a Medium-Density<br />

Residential Zone and a High-Density Residential<br />

Zone. The Medium-Density zone is the baseline for<br />

increasing housing in our city. The High-Density<br />

zone would allow apartment buildings and multistorey<br />

flats in the central city.<br />

Increased height limits for residential and<br />

commercial buildings in and around the<br />

central city, suburban centres and along public<br />

transport routes, as well as enabling residential<br />

development in some industrial areas around the<br />

central city and larger suburban centres.<br />

Special rules (Qualifying Matters) to limit greater<br />

development of housing and business under<br />

the MDRS, in order to better reflect our city’s<br />

environment and climate. One proposes changing<br />

recession planes to increase sunlight access from<br />

what would be possible under the MDRS. This<br />

applies citywide and means the MDRS won’t come<br />

into effect for Christchurch until <strong>20</strong>24, when Plan<br />

Change 14 is decided on.<br />

Heritage that should be protected, with a number<br />

of new buildings, items and interiors added to<br />

the Schedule of Significant Historic Heritage.<br />

Have your say on our growing city<br />

You can make a submission on the Housing and Business Choice Plan Change (Plan Change 14) and Heritage Plan<br />

Change (Plan Change 13) until 3 May <strong>20</strong>23. Detailed information about the plan changes and everything you<br />

need to make your submission is available at ccc.govt.nz/growingcity

HOME & HEATING<br />

Get the balance<br />

right this winter<br />

Enviro Master has been helping Cantabrians<br />

get the balance right when it comes to<br />

choosing the perfect heat pump or air<br />

conditioning system for their home or office<br />

since <strong>20</strong>02.<br />

Their team of expert sales people, qualified<br />

electricians, heating and refrigeration<br />

engineers, help to supply and install<br />

Christchurch’s widest range of heat pumps,<br />

and because they have no affiliation with any<br />

one brand, you can be assured their advice<br />

on the benefits and differences between each<br />

product is unbiased.<br />

They will recommend the most energyefficient<br />

and cost-effective system for your<br />

individual situation, and will have you<br />

regulating the heat in your home or office in<br />

no time.<br />

Nowadays, customers are often wanting<br />

whole home solutions to be able to maintain<br />

even temperatures throughout the home both<br />

in Winter and Summer. This can be achieved<br />

by using ducted systems or multi systems<br />

and Enviro Master are experts in designing,<br />

installing and commissioning these systems.<br />

Help is currently available with a<br />

government subsidy covering 80 per cent of<br />

the cost of a new heat pump up to $3000.<br />

The subsidy is part of the Warmer Kiwi<br />

Homes initiative and is available to Home<br />

owner/occupiers with a Community Services<br />

Card, a SuperGold combo card or who live in<br />

a low-income area as determined by deciles<br />

8-10 on the New Zealand Deprivation Index.<br />

The applicant’s home must also have been<br />

built before <strong>20</strong>08, have insulation up to code<br />

(insulation subsidies also available) and have<br />

no fixed heating in a living area, such as an<br />

existing operational heat pump or fireplace.<br />

With new regulations now in place for<br />

Landlords to provide heating in rentals, it’s<br />

time to ensure you are meeting the new<br />

standards.<br />

Inadequate heating and ventilation can<br />

lead to mould growth and dampness in your<br />

property, leading to costlier maintenance<br />

and an unhealthy living environment.<br />

Providing a fixed heater with a higher heat<br />

output and lower running costs, like a heat<br />

pump, will enable your tenants to heat the<br />

area effectively. Enviro Master are well<br />

experienced with the Tenancy Services<br />

software to ensure that you are meeting your<br />

requirements.<br />

To ensure you choose the right system<br />

for your home or business, one of Enviro<br />

Master’s experts will visit to assess your<br />

individual situation, offer advice and<br />

answer any questions you may have. This<br />

consultation is at no cost to the customer<br />

and is always provided before a heat pump is<br />

installed.<br />

Anyone wondering about their eligibility<br />

for a subsidised heat pump are welcome to<br />

get in touch for details and help with the<br />

application process. To find out more, call<br />

Enviro Master on (03) 366 0525 or visit<br />

their website www.enviromaster.co.nz<br />

Keep cosy with<br />

RD Petroleum<br />

this winter<br />

RD Petroleum (RDP) is a familiar sight<br />

for farm and rural residents around the<br />

Canterbury region, however now days urban<br />

residents also enjoy the same excellent<br />

customer service for which RDP is known for<br />

in rural communities, through their home<br />

heating diesel.<br />

RDP began its home heating diesel delivery<br />

service to the lower South Island’s main urban<br />

centres of Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin<br />

and Invercargill a number of years ago.<br />

Customer demand has continued to increase<br />

year upon year, and RDP has responded<br />

with specialised improvements to its delivery<br />

equipment.<br />

The trucks that deliver RDP’s home heating<br />

diesel in each urban centre are drawn from<br />

the company’s extensive vehicle fleet. This<br />

means they have the latest communication<br />

and GPS tracking technology on board, so<br />

the operations team always know where they<br />

are and how far away they are from their next<br />

delivery stop.<br />

RDP’s home heating diesel trucks come<br />

equipped with a specially-designed hose,<br />

through which the diesel is pumped from<br />

the truck into house tanks. The length of<br />

the hose allows the trucks to access tanks<br />

without having to enter the property, avoiding<br />

damaging the driveway. RDP is the place to<br />

go if you require diesel conveniently delivered<br />

to your home and as a loyal RDP customer<br />

you’re offered discounted pricing and can<br />

become eligible for value-added benefits.<br />

For all enquiries please phone<br />

Tiguan R offers speed, poise and balance<br />

VOLKSWAGEN’S R series<br />

of performance models has<br />

received a significant boost with<br />

three new variants joining the<br />

line-up.<br />

I’ve recently evaluated T-Roc<br />

R and Golf R, they have been<br />

joined by Tiguan R – a mid-size<br />

sport utility vehicle.<br />

The Tiguan R is rated at<br />

235kW and 400Nm, it gets all<br />

the trick gear that makes the R<br />

(Race) series so desirable – fourwheel-drive,<br />

adaptive dampers<br />

and torque vectoring control.<br />

Race mode is activated by a<br />

steering wheel-mounted button;<br />

once pushed, the entire<br />

driveline goes into a manic state,<br />

it is excitable and eager to blast<br />

through any given highway. It<br />

also imparts angry sound, the<br />

engine and exhaust spit and bark<br />

in unison, it’s infectious and<br />

could be a trap because, like its<br />

stablemates, the R series is biased<br />

toward exhilaration on any given<br />

journey, a constant watch on the<br />

speedometer is recommended.<br />

In terms of power outputs,<br />

take note of where the specific<br />

points of delivery are – 5600 to<br />

6500rpm and <strong>20</strong>00 to 5600rpm<br />

for torque, that is a constant supply<br />

of energy which means you<br />

don’t have to hammer the engine<br />

hard to make it work freely, the<br />

flow of power is constant and<br />

forceful at any given point. Drive<br />

is through a direct shift gearbox.<br />

Effectively it is a manual, but<br />

there are only two pedals in the<br />

car – brake and accelerator. Gear<br />

changes are automated unless<br />

the driver takes control through<br />

a sequential shifting system from<br />

the main gearshift lever itself or<br />

through paddles.<br />

Incorporating<br />

best motorbuys<br />

www.drivesouth.co.nz<br />

Against the clock the Tiguan<br />

R will scorch to 100km/h in<br />

5.2sec and will make a highway<br />

overtake (80-1<strong>20</strong>km/h) in 4sec.<br />

These are fast times and ones<br />

that are very rewarding when<br />

circumstances allow.<br />

It’s on the open road that the<br />

Tiguan R really struts its stuff,<br />

powering out of a corner doesn’t<br />

force any wayward cornering<br />

motion, of course there are<br />

those electronic and mechanical<br />

systems working to correct any<br />

physical force off-line; however,<br />

the Tiguan R doesn’t rely on<br />

these devices as it has poise and<br />

grip provided by clever suspension<br />

elements and, of course, the<br />

transfer of power to each corner.<br />

The test car was riding on<br />

19in wheels fitted with Hankook<br />

low profile tyres which, along<br />

with the 4Motion driveline, vast<br />

amounts of grip can barely be<br />

tested. It must be said as well the<br />

Tiguan R doesn’t handle like a<br />

traditional SUV, it has poise and<br />

balance which is quite unusual<br />

for a vehicle well over 1.6m tall.<br />

The Tiguan R also satisfies as<br />

an all-round family wagon, it has<br />

speed which stuns the senses, but<br />

it also is a complete package in<br />

terms of practicality. Those on<br />

board are treated to a decent ride<br />

and plenty of space; that’s the<br />

ethos of SUVs and the Tiguan R<br />

is no exception.<br />

What the Tiguan R represents<br />

well is the word sport in sport<br />

utility vehicle, it’s a sensational<br />

package and one that gives you<br />

a relatively good bang for your<br />

buck. At $80,990 ($85,990 high<br />

grade) it’s not too wayward in<br />

terms of pricing. However, you<br />

can guarantee the Government<br />

will come knocking for a few<br />

extra dollars as part of its Clean<br />
