Lego fun for all ages 

CREATIVE: Adults and children alike have a go at building 

with Lego Bricks at Hornby Hub, including Lexie Hedley, 7, 

from Avonhead. PHOTOS: BRIAR ALLEN 

• By Briar Allen 

AGE IS NO barrier to letting 

out your inner child at the 

Hub Hornby these school 

holidays. 

The shopping mall has set up 

a Lego Bricks area for people to 

enjoy over the last week of the 

holidays. 

Along with plenty of bricks to 

build with, Lego Masters NZ season 

2 semi-finalist and House of Bricks 

co-owner Rachel de 

Vries has been helping out and 

providing tips. 

De Vries said the first day was really 

busy, and positive. 

“It has been absolutely amazing.” 

She said she especially loves seeing 

adults get involved. 

“It is nice to see people being creative, 

including parents and caregivers, not 

just the children. Everyone stops past 

the play area, it is really therapeutic and 

Lego Bricks has changed a lot, say from 

20 years ago. There is something for 

everyone.” • Turn to page 3 

Battle to 

keep 

airport 

on bus 

route won 

• By Briar Allen 

A PLAN TO remove the airport 

terminal stop from a bus route 

which travels through the western 

suburbs has been scuttled. 

Halswell Ward city councillor 

Andrei Moore, Environment 

Canterbury councillor Deon 

Swiggs and the Greater Hornby 

Residents 

Association have 

won their bid to 

make sure the 

No 125 Halswell 

& Westlake 

to Redwood 

bus continues 

to stop at the 

Christchurch 

Airport 

terminal. 

Andrei 

Moore 

The change was proposed by 

ECan in April last year because 

of a lack of available space at the 

terminal stop before the Covid-19 

pandemic hit. 

An ECan spokesperson said it is 

not seeing as many bus travellers 

stopping at the airport terminal as 

it did before the pandemic. 

“Since there is currently 

available capacity at the airport 

bus stop, route 125 will continue 

to stop at the airport. 

“This is based on up-to-date 

information on numbers of 

tourists and bus operators using 

the airport stop.”

Embracing your inner child 

• From page 1 

“It is different from what it was 

– there is so much you can do,” 

said De Vries. 

“There is no wrong way to 

build with Lego Bricks, it is your 

idea you are building.” 

Hub Hornby senior centre 

manager Jason Marsden said the 

community mall hosted a creative, 

artistic and hands-on event 

each year. 

“This really ticks all of the 

boxes. There has been an amazing 

turn out here of adults and 

kids alike, it is relaxing, and it is 

cool to see people relax here,” he 

ALL AGES: Cathy Stevenson and her grandson 

Malachy, 5, play with the Lego while they wait for a 

haircut. 

PHOTOS: BRIAR ALLEN 

said. Marsden thinks the event 

will only get busier as the week 

goes on as it provides a good opportunity 

for people to come and 

go as they please – especially as 

it is free. 

“It is good to see people focus 

on something that is more tactical 

than technological-based. 

We’ll definitely bring this event 

back in the future.” 

De Vries said House of Bricks 

also hosts several community 

events, such as smaller versions 

of the Christchurch Brick Show, 

and would love to get more 

people involved. 

“It is part of what we do to 

inspire people to be creative, 

and inspire creative children to 

continue to be who they are so 

they can go on to fill those creative 

jobs.” 

Cathy Stevenson lives just 

down the road from Hub Hornby 

and was enjoying the Lego 

Bricks. 

“We came here for a haircut, 

but we had to wait for it, so this 

was ideal to do while we waited,” 

she said. 

• The play area will be 

open from 10am-2pm 

today and tomorrow 

DROP-OFF: A plan to stop the No 125 bus from going to 

the Christchurch Airport terminal has been dropped. 

‘Totally silly to go near 

the airport but not to it’ 

•From page 1 

The spokesperson said when 

tourism returns to the same level 

as before Covid-19, capacity will 

become an issue, but ECan will 

address this as required and the 

125 bus will operate as normal. 

Said the spokesperson: 

“According to data from recent 

months, an average of around 

1000 people per day use route 

125 on weekdays, with the total 

number of passengers for the 

full month of June 2023 being 

27,138.” 

The bus travels through 

Halswell, Westlake to Redwood 

and stops at the Hub Hornby, 

Russley, Christchurch Airport, 

Bishopdale Village Mall, and 

Northlands. 

Moore said keeping the 

airport stop means passengers 

have retained access to the 

airport for $2 or less. 

“I was quite perplexed when 

hearing the reason for the move 

while I was looking at a mostly 

empty bus terminal. I thought 

it was totally silly to go near the 

airport but not to it.” 

Moore said he has caught the 

bus many times. The airport 

terminal stop was usually empty 

and the bus would only stop at 

the airport for about 30 seconds 

before moving on, he said. 

“I was told the bus terminal 

area was at capacity and couldn’t 

handle any additional routes, 

but it looked empty most times 

when I was there, so hence my 

confusion as to why this stop 

would be removed.” 

He credited Swiggs for his 

hard work. 

“Many are not aware that 

this bus route to the airport 

is available to them, so now 

hopefully it will get used more 

now that people are being made 

aware,” Moore said.

A BUSY WEEK 

away from the clinic 

Steve, Connor and myself recently 

attended the NZL Veterinary Conference 

in the Capital. My very first vet 

conference, attending with my son. Was 

a fabulous 3 days reconnecting and 

sharing ideas with colleagues, learning 

new medical treatments and more 

about diseases, visiting the trade stands 

and formulating our “wish lists”, and 

spending time with Connor. 

Steve tested Pomeranians through to 

Great Danes, checking for diseases such 

as: 

• Distichiasis - an extra row of eyelashes 

that are directed towards the cornea 

(window of the eye) 

• Cataracts - cloudiness of the lens which 

is normally like a clear marble in the 

middle of the eye 

GOVERNMENT FUNDED: The Jobs for Nature scheme has provided $1.19 

billion in Government funding over four years. 

Nature work scheme 

making a difference 

I attended lectures on heart disease in 

cats and dogs, airway disease ( BOAS) 

in the Brachycephalic dog breeds, 

anaesthetic regimes for cardiac and 

respiratory patients, nutrition in heart 

disease and the coughing dog. I actually 

love being back in lecture theatre, 

soaking up new knowledge, new 

medications and what’s new in research. 

In veterinary medicine you can never 

know enough, and I realised early on 

that to get the most of my job and help 

as many patients as I can, I was going to 

have to keep up the study and constantly 

keep improving and bettering myself. 

Which is what I have done for 33 years. 

It’s the degree that just keeps on giving. 

Steve also recently held an “eye testing” 

day in Auckland, organised and run 

by the Auckland Poodle Club. It was a 

jammed packed, fun day, with 104 dogs 

in attendance to have their eyes checked 

by Steve for inherited diseases. Steve 

started at 8am, finishing at 4pm with 

only a 10 minute break. I joined as Steve’s 

secretary, uploading patient details and 

making sure the microchip numbers 

matched the dogs. 

• Retinal Dysplasia - the retina is the 

“nerve” at the back of the eye that 

collects all the visual information. Retinal 

dysplasia with when the retina is not 

formed properly when the puppy is an 

embryo being formed 

• Progressive retinal atrophy - a disease 

where the retina starts to “die away” 

when the dog is an adult. It is a little bit 

like macular degeneration is people. 

• Glaucoma - is an increase in pressure 

within the eye caused by a blockage of 

the internal drainage angle. This is nearly 

always a nasty painful disease in dogs. 

THE JOBS for Nature scheme has 

provided $1.19 billion in Government 

funding over four years to with an 

aim to bring people into nature-based 

employment and support skills training. 

Mitch Thorn is one of a team of five 

young people employed through the 

scheme by the city council as part of the 

Government’s Covid-19 recovery 

package. 

“It’s been a hell of an opportunity, we’re 

really lucky I reckon,” Mitch said. 

“The park rangers have got a lot of work 

that needs doing and being able to have 

five field crew put the hours in and get 

stuff done on the ground has helped free 

them up to work on other projects that 

they wouldn’t normally have the time for, 

which increases the conservation gain 

from the wider team.” 

Alongside him are Matt, Mackenzie, 

Hannah and Georgia, who are all in their 

twenties. 

For 23-year-old, Mackenzie the variety 

of her job is a draw card. Along with pest 

plant control and animal control there’s 

also planting, maintenance and habitat 

restoration on the Port Hills and Banks 

Peninsula. 

Hannah was a summer seasonal ranger 

at Bottle Lake Forest Park before starting 

with Jobs for Nature in February last year. 

She sees a future for herself in some sort 

of conservation field work. 

“Everything I’ve been doing is quite new 

so I’m still learning all the different areas,” 

she said. 

Matt was also on a seasonal summer 

contract before starting and welcomed the 

longer-term position. 

He enjoys wildlife and has since had 

opportunities with city council ecologists 

to do skink monitoring and bird counts 

around Te Waihora Lake Ellesmere. 

“Long-term I want to work with 

wildlife in New Zealand. My wife is from 

Zimbabwe so eventually we might end up 

going there and I’d like to carry on doing 

conservation work,” Matt said. 

City council head of regional parks Kay 

Holder said the Jobs for Nature staff had 

been invaluable. 

“The scheme has provided the 

opportunity for 10 more staff to work 

in Christchurch parks and natural 

environments across the city. Not only 

has this seen a great increase in plant 

and animal pest control, planting and 

maintenance, it has also given training 

and learning opportunities to people who 

will now be better placed to continue this 

important work,” Holder said. 

Steve has organised more clinics around 

the country to eye test breeding dogs. 

It’s very important for the specific breeds 

and breeders that hereditary conditions 

are identified are not passed on to future 

generations.

Unbeatable St Andrew’s side 

dominate junior championships 

• By Jaime Cunningham 

THE NEXT generation of St 

Andrew’s College netballers 

showcased their talent at the 

South Island secondary schools 

junior championships. 

The school claimed the year 9 

title and finished second in the 

year 10 grade. The year 9 side 

went one better than last year, 

winning the grade for the first 

time since 2018 at Hagley Park 

last week. 

St Andrew’s comfortably beat 

St Hilda’s Collegiate School 44- 

20 to win the tournament. 

Coach Jo Andrew said they are 

a new team but have developed 

strong connections across the 

court quickly. 

“Their ability to score a high 

volume of goals were remarkable 

for such young players,” she said. 

The team’s average of more 

than 40 goals a game and 

accuracy of over 80 per cent was 

largely due to Tactix shooter 

Vika Koloto helping the team 

throughout the season. 

“She is a great role model 

for the shooters and they have 

benefitted from her advice and 

support,” said Andrew, who is 

a former Canterbury Flames 

player. 

St Andrew’s went through the 

three-day tournament unbeaten 

and a dream run saw them win 

all their playoff games by more 

than 10 goals. 

Andrew said the team 

executed their game plans and 

showed steady improvements. 

“They are a group of girls who 

love playing netball together.” 

The school’s year 10 side 

suffered a heartbreaking 30-21 

loss to Dunedin’s Columba 

College in their final. A majority

Sweetness at start and finish of the day 

Nigel Slater turns to 

brilliantly colourful 

rhubarb and chard for 

two dishes that look as 

good as they taste 

Roast rhubarb with 

porridge and oat crumble 

Serves 4 

Ingredients 

800g rhubarb stalks 

2 medium oranges 

2 heaped Tbsp caster sugar 

6 juniper berries 

For the oat crumble: 

75g plain flour 

75g butter 

A good pinch of sea salt 

50g caster sugar 

55g rolled oats 

For the porridge: 

400ml water 

100g pinhead oatmeal 

Salt to taste 

Directions 

Trim any dry ends from the 

rhubarb and discard, then cut 

each stalk into pieces roughly 

5cm long. Pack the rhubarb into 

a non-reactive baking dish. Preheat 

the oven to 200 deg C. 

Cut the oranges in half and 

squeeze their juice into a bowl. 

Stir in the sugar then press the 

juniper berries with a heavy 

weight to crack them open, and 

add to the orange juice. Pour 

the juice and berries over the 

rhubarb and bake for about 30 

minutes until soft. 

Make the crumble: Put 

the flour and butter in a food 

processor and process to coarse 

crumbs, then stir in the salt, 

sugar and oats. Drop in 1 Tbsp 

of water and shake the bowl 

backward and forwards until the 

mixture forms crumbs. Tip on 

to a baking sheet and slide into 

the oven, it can go in at the same 

time as the rhubarb. Bake until 

pale gold (about 20 minutes), 

then remove and set aside. 

Remove the rhubarb from the 

oven while you make the porridge. 

Bring the water to the boil, 

rain in the oatmeal and stir for 

3 or 4 minutes while it thickens. 

Stir in a pinch of salt and divide 

between 4 small bowls. Put some 

of the rhubarb in each bowl, then 

spoon over the rhubarb juice. 

Scatter some of the crumble over 

each dish of fruit and porridge. 

Sweet, hot chard 

I have had this as a side dish 

for chargrilled mackerel and 

with tempura-style fried broccoli, 

but it is also good on top of 

steamed rice. 

Serves 2 as a side dish 

Ingredients 

For the dressing: 

2 garlic cloves 

1 stalk of lemongrass 

2 hot red chillies 

A small (40g) piece of ginger 

2 Tbsp vegetable oil 

1 Tbsp light soy sauce 

1 Tbsp lime juice 

1 Tbsp fish sauce 

3 Tbsp runny honey 

400g chard stalks 

3 Tbsp groundnut oil 

Directions 

Peel and crush the garlic to a 

paste with a pinch of salt, then 

scrape into an empty screw-top 

jar. Peel away the outer leaves 

of the lemongrass, then roughly 

chop the tender shoot within. 

Put the chopped lemongrass into 

an electric spice mill or coffee 

grinder and process to a dry 

paste, then add it to the garlic. 

Roughly chop the chillies and 

add to the garlic and lemongrass. 

Peel the ginger, then grate to a 

paste and add to the jar. Add 

the vegetable oil, soy sauce, lime 

juice and fish sauce, then spoon 

in the honey, tighten the lid and 

shake to combine to a thin, syrupy 

dressing. 

Cut the chard stalks into short 

pieces, roughly 10cm in length. 

Warm the groundnut oil in a 

large, shallow pan over a moderate 

heat, then add the chard 

stalks and cover with a lid. Let 

the chard cook for 10 minutes, 

turning the stalks over occasionally 

until they are tender. 

Pour the dressing into the pan 

and toss the chard stalks in it. 

Let the dressing bubble for 4-5 

minutes until it coats the stalks, 

then transfer to a serving dish.

Sustainable and sporty with a lot of space 

MERCEDES-BENZ continues 

its push to offer a broader range 

of electric models by adding an 

EV version of its compact but 

enormously practical EQB SUV. 

The EQB follows in the 

footsteps of the smaller EQA 

SUV, which alphabetically is a 

logical evolution. Since its launch 

in 2021, it’s become a popular 

choice for those keen to commit 

to a more sustainable lowemission 

vehicle, with premium 

looks and an inherently sporty 

disposition. 

What you get with the EQB is 

all that plus lots more space for 

people and luggage, in a vehicle 

capable of seating up to seven – 

or you can reconfigure the cabin 

to create a whooping 1600L of 

load capacity. 

Powering the EQB is an 

electric drivetrain developed by 

Mercedes-EQ. Its lithium-ion 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

battery has a usable energy 

content of 66.5 kWh. Weighing a 

respectable 469kg, it’s positioned 

beneath the vehicle floor, giving 

the EQB an ideal centre of gravity. 

The EQB has more in common 

with its GLB petrol powered 

sibling than you might think, 

including heaps of useable space 

from its compact footprint. With 

its flat floor and tall roofline, 

you are set to cart all manner of 

things from bikes to surf boards. 

The most affordable EQB is 

the $99,900 five-seat 250. A 

$2900 optional third row extends 

the seating to seven. A 140kW 

single e-motor dispatches power 

directly to the front wheels with 

efforts backed up by a hard 

working 385Nm of torque. It has 

a handy enough driving range of 

371km according to the WLTP 

test standard. The EQB 350 

Incorporating 

best motorbuys 

www.drivesouth.co.nz 

4MATIC AWD lined up for this 

road test is priced at $109,900. 

Both models are covered by a 

five-year unlimited kilometre 

warranty and eight years cover 

on the battery. 

The tall styling is interesting 

rather than eye catching. 

Reduced lines and precise seams 

are a feature, while the upright 

front section with its dominant 

headlights has Mercedes Benz 

SUV DNA all over it. 

Torque and power arrive 

instantly, no engine revs 

required. It makes most internal 

combustion engines seem a 

tad like yesterday’s technology, 

which they probably will be 

in about five years. The EQB 

delivers exceptional performance 

across the board and does it 

with ease, and is brilliantly 

supported by two outstanding 

electric motors and a one speed 

automatic. 

The fit and finish of the passenger 

compartment is excellent. 

A large and spacious interior 

ensures plenty of room for everyone. 

The EQB 350 adds more significant 

features. Among them 

are sports seats with adjustable 

head restraints and micro fibre 

inserts with red stitching. A 

multi-function sports steering 

wheel wrapped in Nappa leather 

adds a touch of class. 

A Driver Assistance Package 

features a comprehensive suite 

of active safety and convenience 

systems. As with other vehicles 

in the Mercedes-EQ passenger 

vehicle line-up, the EQB has 

acoustic ambient protection to 

reduce the risk to pedestrians 

and cyclists by the vehicle’s 

silent drivetrain. It sounds an 

audible warning at speeds below 

20km/h, plus a reversing tone. 

Handling is as good as you 

will find in a luxury compact 

SUV with deep reserves of real 

world grip. This isn’t a bona fide 

off-road battler; the vehicle’s 

modest ground clearance limits 

excursions in rougher terrain. 

As expected, the nicely 

weighted steering with its 

excellent road feel is everything 

we’ve come to expect from 

Mercedes Benz.

GIVE YOUR EARS A TREAT! 

Come and meet the highest rated hearing care provider in Christchurch 

In today’s 24/7 instant access, throwaway society, it is good to 

know that there are still places where you can get good old 

fashioned service with a big smile. And, when it comes to your 

ears and hearing it pays to know you are in hands which have 

been trusted by thousands of people in the local area. 

Hear Again at the Hub in Hornby are the professional team 

who make delighting their clients the very top of their agenda. 

From a simple removal of earwax to the highly specialized 

fitting of the very latest hearing instruments, the 100% NZ 

owned team are never satisfied until you are. Their long list of 

5 star Google reviews speak for themselves. 

NZAS Audiometrist Neil Hardisty is frequently praised for his 

patience and expertise. Ear Nurses, Ken and Sam provide a

By processing the sound lightningfast, these incredible little 

devices align your natural hearing with amplified sounds as 

close as possible, allowing you to hear as nature intended. 

Throw away fiddly batteries with the very latest rechargeable 

devices: simply drop your hearing aids into an easy to use 

charging station every night for the simplest hearing possible.

directly to your hearing aids, enjoy handsfree phone calls and 

your favourite music or audiobooks with ultimate discretion. 

Call for your FREE DEMONSTRATION 

HEAR AGAIN are proud to bring a world first to New Zealand. 

A leading Danish hearing aid manufacturer has recently 

launched a range of hearing aids that provide the most natural 

listening experience ever. Even a great hearing aid has always 

sounded like a hearing aid until now. 

The revolutionary new devices change the game to deliver the 

most pure, natural sound ever. Typically, sound processed in 

a hearing aid reaches your eardrum later than sound heard 

directly; when these two ‘out of sync’ signals mix, you get an 

artificial sound. This has been a problem for many years!
