Zephyr 

releases 

debut 

single 

• By Briar Allen 

A RISING young rock band 

is set to release its debut single 

tomorrow. 

Former and current students 

from Christchurch Boys’ High, 

Christchurch Girls’ High and 

Avonside Girls’ High Schools 

make up the band Zephyr. 

(She Ain’t Got No) Shame is the 

band’s first single since forming 

in 2022. It follows their success at 

last year’s Rockquest, where they 

were third in the national final. 

They also opened the Selwyn 

Sounds music festival in March. 

There, they performed to 

about 5000 people and shared 

the stage with renowned New 

Zealand musicians Sir Dave 

Dobbyn, Stellar, Mi-Sex and Gin 

Wigmore.

School 

pupils 

have 

say on 

crossing 

changes 

THERE AREN’T many people 

who know what it’s like getting 

to and from school better than its 

pupils. 

That’s why the city council 

is taking a slightly different 

approach to gathering feedback 

on proposals to upgrade the 

pedestrian 

crossing on 

Woodham Rd in 

Linwood and put 

in safety measures 

on Ngarimu and 

Holland Sts. It 

has asked Whītau 

School pupils for 

help. 

“Before we 

Lynette 

Ellis 

started designing, we knew we 

needed to get some intel straight 

from the kids who use the streets 

around the school every single 

weekday,” city council head of 

transport Lynette Ellis said. 

“The pupils told us a lot of 

different stories about vehicles not 

stopping for them when trying to 

cross at the pedestrian crossing 

outside the school, because drivers 

were not paying attention and 

were on their phone or driving 

too fast. 

“So we’ve taken that feedback 

and incorporated it into our 

designs.”

SHOW: Te Aratai College students working on their production of Grease. 

Grease first on stage 

at new auditorium 

A WOP ba-ba lu-bop a wop

It will be the first show in

everyone to connect. 

“It’s a chance to connect with 

the kura (school) and celebrate 

our amazing akonga (students)

effort to put on such an amazing 

show,” she said.

Council staff, pupils and 

parents talk road safety 

•From page 1 

City council staff met with 

the pupils and parents to find 

out what made them feel unsafe 

while travelling to school and 

what would make them feel safer. 

Staff then presented the 

proposed road safety designs to 

the children and asked them for 

feedback. 

Their feedback, which 

was gathered on post-it notes, 

included: This gate is not 

accessible or safe. They speed 

and hurt people. They don’t 

stop at this crossing. Hard to 

get out of side street. I almost 

got run over because the person 

wasn’t looking. 

Said Ellis: “It’s been a really 

valuable process and the team 

will now take that away and 

incorporate any changes in the 

final design.” 

Work to upgrade the crossing, 

install new kerbing, no-stopping 

restrictions and speed cushions 

is part of the city council’s “way 

safer streets programme”. 

The programme includes 

a range of improvements to 

make it safer to walk, drive, 

scooter, cycle and bus around 

the city, which will help reduce 

congestion, lower emissions and 

make it easier to get around.

Bridge design a big step in right direction 

Coastal Side 

Celeste Donovan 

Coastal Ward city 

councillor Celeste 

Donovan writes about 

developments with the 

Pages Rd bridge 

COASTAL residents will get a 

first look at the new Pages Rd 

bridge project by the end of the 

month. 

The long-awaited bridge was 

born in the city council’s capital 

works programme and money 

put aside in 2020/21 Annual 

Plan, but delayed nearly two 

years by the complexity of the 

over-all project. 

The 90-year-old bridge suffered 

damage in the February 

22, 2011 earthquake and there 

has long been an expectation it 

had to be replaced rather than 

repaired. 

This project is not just about 

the bridge but the roles contributing 

streets are likely to play 

in the future of New Brighton, 

including allowing for increased 

traffic flow in and out and for 

special events, as well as mass 

evacuations resulting from a 

tsunami warning. 

One of my main tasks since 

taking up the Coastal Ward 

city councillor role has been to 

get this back on track and give 

people certainty around dates 

and progress. There have been 

a lot of variables for planners to 

consider and the project is bigger 

than originally thought, but 

ultimately it will be an enormous 

boost to New Brighton and cater 

for the increasing population in 

the central area. This plan will 

include the entry to the massive 

and exciting Ōtākaro Avon 

River corridor, likely to bring 

world class attention not only 

to Christchurch but also New 

Brighton. 

With the start of the project 

scheduled for 2026, significant 

upgrades will be made to main 

streets as well as landscaping 

and flood mitigation protection, 

including improvements for 

walkers and cyclists. We will also 

be looking to put out expressions 

of interest for a special sculptural 

design welcoming people to 

New Brighton. The draft plan 

drawings of all the road modifications 

leading to the bridge 

will be released at the end of this 

month, and I urge people to take 

advantage of extensive feedback 

and submission opportunities. 

I will release more details about 

this later. 

As the city councillors will be 

making the final decision rather 

than the Coastal Community 

Board once public submissions 

have closed, the final revised and 

updated plan is likely to go to 

our council hearings panel. From 

the end of July, the designs will 

be available for public feedback 

and CCC staff will be available 

in person to discuss the plans. 

After seeing the design, I 

believe it is a big step in the right 

direction but no doubt there will 

be some refinement once people 

have their say.

you have any questions at

Team leader provides 

books with extra life 

WITH A background as a 

bookbinder and as a trainer on 

the construction of commercial 

books, each day is different for 

the city council’s preservation 

and distribution team leader 

Jane Hackett. 

“Whether I’m organising 

my team to deliver books and 

exhibition items across the city, 

or I’m spending time repairing 

books, no day is ever the same,” 

said Hackett. 

Hackett said her team works 

hard to make sure books are 

relocated to fill customers’ holds, 

and to give books that need to 

remain in the collection an extra 

life. 

“Every library book is examined 

on return and will be passed 

along to my team if it is in need 

of repair. We’ll determine what 

needs to be done and then restore 

it to the best of our ability. 

“When I come home with a 

huge smile on my face, my husband 

can always tell I’ve been repairing 

books. I love this aspect 

of my job, it’s my happy place.” 

Books that are no longer 

needed in the collection skip the 

repair process and instead are 

kept for the Christchurch City 

Libraries Big Bargain Book Sale 

– an event planned and managed 

by Hackett. 

Hackett said the preservation 

and distribution team deliver a 

selection of books to at least 10 

rest homes each fortnight. 

“This is a joint effort with our 

outreach team who put these selections 

together, and we deliver 

them. 

“To encourage tamariki to engage 

with books and reading, we 

also deliver a range of children’s 

books to low decile preschools 

three times a term.” 

Hackett said another significant 

part of her role is to manage 

the distribution of books 

between the libraries, using two 

trucks to visit 20 sites a day, 

PHOTO: 

NEWSLINE 

Monday to Friday. 

The collaboration list continues 

as Hackett works together 

with the archivists at CCL and 

the city council. 

“This is an important aspect 

as I can provide advice on how 

material can be preserved for the 

future – whether this is by creating 

specialised archival boxes for 

loose-leaf material, or mending 

books with fragile bindings. 

“We work hard each day to 

keep the collections looking at 

their best, and to move books 

around the city to refresh 

collections on a regular basis 

and to meet customer demand.” 

Release of first 

track ‘has been 

a big process’ 

• From page 1 

Guitarist Reuben Anderson, 17, 

bassist Scarlett Robson, 17, and 

drummer Mya Cawood, 18, have 

been friends since they were 13. 

Vocalist Cleo Cavell, 17, joined 

the band after being approached 

by Robson to be their singer. 

Anderson said it is quite 

exciting to be releasing their 

debut song. 

“It has been a big process but 

very happy it’s happening,” he 

said. 

He said it has taken awhile 

because they have been learning 

about the process and what goes 

on behind the scenes of recording 

a song. 

“We want to thank Chris 

van de Geer from the band 

Stellar* for helping us with the 

distribution and everyone at 

Big Pop Records and Regan 

Barker for helping us with the 

recording.” 

Cavell said the biggest obstacle 

was deciding on the cover art for 

the single. 

“When you have four people 

with all different visions and 

styles it can take a while to agree 

on something,” she said. 

Originally the band was called 

The Jhets but they changed the 

name as people kept thinking 

they were like Bennie and 

the Jets. “We didn’t like the 

association and we didn’t like 

how it wasn’t original, so from 

the beginning of this year we 

have been Zephyr, which Mya 

came up with and we all liked,” 

she said. 

The single follows the story 

of a young female waltzing her 

way through life in a groupie 

fashion with attacking guitar 

riffs, a pounding bass, powerful 

drumming and a stunning vocal 

range. 

With three of the musicians 

still at school, Anderson and 

Cavell said they hope to continue 

the band for a while. 

“The goal is to write as much 

music as we can and get it 

recorded and released,” he said. 

• (She Ain’t Got No) Shame 

will be available on Spotify, 

iTunes and Apple Music and 

can be pre-saved on their 

Facebook and Instagram 

pages, or you can catch the 

band live at The Bower in 

the beer garden from 1pm 

on Sunday.

HOME & HEATING 

Ground moisture barrier 

under low sub-floor 

Now with the colder and wetter weather on 

its way, home owners are focusing on ways 

to make their homes comfortable, warm 

and healthy for their families throughout 

winter. Rising damp is an issue that affects 

many of our older properties which suffer 

from poor, or no, ground moisture barrier. 

In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many 

people have relocated to homes that suffer 

from rising damp which can be associated 

with health problems. Independent tests have 

shown that up to 40 litres of water can rise 

from the ground and enter a house every day, 

leading to mildew, mould, condensation and 

musty smells. Moulds can produce various 

allergic reactions and the frail, elderly and 

very young are especially vulnerable. 

Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a 

locally owned and operated firm. The team 

understands the problems caused by rising 

damp and are there to help. They will come 

to your damp home and pump a lightweight, 

flowable foam concrete under your timber 

floored home. 

While insulation is important, it has been 

recognised that it is dampness that is the real 

villain in the house. The new Healthy Homes 

Standards introduced by the government 

effective from the 1st July 2019 now has 

a requirement to install ground moisture 

barriers, a key element in the armory to fight 

moisture in the home. 

Dr Larry Bellamy BE (hons) PhD in a 

report dated 1988: Foam Concrete Under 

Timber Floors: An Energy Analysis assessed 

the effects of placing Foam Concrete over 

damp soil and had this to say: Condensation 

on the underside of a timber floor can occur 

where the floor is suspended over damp 

ground and the inside air temperature falls 

close to the crawl space air temperature. 

Much energy is required to vaporize moisture 

that penetrates the structure. By avoiding 

underfloor condensation, foam concrete can 

reduce floor heat losses by up to 90%. 

• Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd can in most 

cases, install a Ground Moisture Barrier 

under the suspended wooden floor of your 

home, even when there is no crawl space. 

• BRANZ Appraised; Appraisal Number 961

New Zealand. 

• We offer a free measure and quote in the 

Canterbury region with no obligations. 

• Assessments can be made in all other 

regions by arrangement.

ground moisture barrier needs.

Keep cosy with 

RD Petroleum 

this winter 

RD Petroleum (RDP) is a familiar sight 

for farm and rural residents around the 

Canterbury region, however now days urban 

residents also enjoy the same excellent 

customer service for which RDP is known for 

in rural communities, through their home 

heating diesel. 

RDP began its home heating diesel delivery 

service to the lower South Island’s main urban 

centres of Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin 

and Invercargill a number of years ago. 

Customer demand has continued to increase 

year upon year, and RDP has responded 

with specialised improvements to its delivery 

equipment. 

The trucks that deliver RDP’s home heating 

diesel in each urban centre are drawn from 

the company’s extensive vehicle fleet. This 

means they have the latest communication 

and GPS tracking technology on board, so 

the operations team always know where they 

are and how far away they are from their next 

delivery stop. 

RDP’s home heating diesel trucks come 

equipped with a specially-designed hose, 

through which the diesel is pumped from 

the truck into house tanks. The length of 

the hose allows the trucks to access tanks 

without having to enter the property, avoiding 

damaging the driveway. RDP is the place to 

go if you require diesel conveniently delivered 

to your home and as a loyal RDP customer 

you’re offered discounted pricing and can

“A local team for local people”


Substantial overhaul for Nissan Pathfinder 

ARMED WITH a raft of 

improvements and a lot more 

style, the latest iteration of the 

Nissan Pathfinder should find 

the road to success smoother 

than its underwhelming 

predecessor. 

It borrows some bits from the 

old model, including the same 

3.5-litre petrol V6, but has had 

an emphatic styling overhaul to 

make a telling and compelling 

difference. This Pathfinder demands 

attention with its strong, 

muscular appearance, shorter 

front overhang, slimmer pillars, 

C-shaped LED headlights and a 

“floating” roofline. 

Seven drive and terrain 

settings are available for the 

all-wheel drive system. A new 

innovation is Pro-PILOT featuring 

semi-autonomous driving. 

Safety is nailed in one, thanks to 

nine airbags, including curtain 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

bags spanning all three rows of 

seats. Towing of braked trailers 

up to 2700kg is made safer and 

easier with a two-mode on-board 

trailer-stability programme. 

Sold here initially in 2022 as a 

three model line-up, Nissan NZ 

didn’t wait long to hit the delete 

button on the entry-level ST. 

Instead, they’ve opted for a two 

high-spec line-up starting with 

the $83,490 Ti. The lavishly appointed 

Ti-L I road tested is the 

‘cherry on the cake’ model. 

The engine’s maximum power 

of 202kw is about the same as 

the old model, while the 340Nm 

of torque is under done in an 

SUV of this size and weight. 

Consequently, low-speed pulling 

power suffers and isn’t as 

strong as it needs to be to cope 

with long punishing hill climbs 

under load. This leads to the 

transmission hunting between 

Incorporating 

best motorbuys 

www.drivesouth.co.nz 

gears in search of more power to 

keep the vehicle moving along 

at a respectable clip. At times, all 

nine gears the transmission has 

at its disposal need to be called 

into play to do their bit. 

A large and welcoming cabin 

looks and feels the real large 

upmarket SUV deal. Comfort is 

assured regardless of what the 

weather is doing. Making this 

happen is the excellent tri-zone 

climate controlled air-conditioning 

with air vents all the way 

through to the back row of seats. 

Rear sunshades do a good job of 

reducing heat and glare. 

A huge 10.8-inch Head Up 

Display is standard, projecting 

key information, including turnby-turn 

satellite navigation, to 

keep the driver focused on the 

road ahead. An upgraded infotainment 

system has integrated 

wireless Apple CarPlay and 

wired Android Auto, four USB 

charging points plus two 12-volt 

outlets. 

There’s a comprehensive safety 

package from Nissan’s Intelligent 

Mobility Suite. Included is a 

rearview camera, an Advanced 

Drive-Assist instrument cluster 

and LED dusk-sensing headlights 

with high-beam assist. 

A well-sorted double wishbone 

front suspension and an 

independent multi-link rear end 

with coils, brings a fair degree 

of handling composure to the 

road holding table. However, the 

Pathfinder’s sheer size and 2000- 

plus kg kerb weight compromises 

the vehicle’s handling at its outer 

extremities. This comes to the 

fore when driving on tight, 

twisty terrain, which we have an 

abundance of on our roads. The 

vehicle’s handling limitations 

aren’t helped by light steering. 

To my mind, the latest Ford 

Everest is the road-holding 

benchmark model for our large 

SUV market. Because it’s based 

on the latest Ford Ranger ute, 

it has genuine go anywhere 

off-road capabilities that are 

superior to the Pathfinder. It’s 

okay on ski-field access roads 

and that type of driving, but 

little more with its average 

ground clearance.
