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 />
Recipe & photo: Nadia Lim www.nadialim.com/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 />

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 />

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 />
Car Programme fee.<br />
