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.

Students
devise plan
to make
streets near
school safer
VILLA MARIA College students
and staff have come up with a
plan to make the streets near the
school safer.
Deputy principal
Mike Baugh said
the plan started
with senior students
and the student
council raising concerns
about their
safety when travelling
to school.
“Our concerns
Mike
Baugh
revolved around the speed limit
on Yaldhurst Rd, as well as the
lack of signage indicating there
is a school zone and a speed limit
change and the narrow congestion
on Brodie St due to parking on
either side,” he said.
They have been working with
the city council’s community
travel advisor George Booty
to develop a travel plan that
improves road safety and
encourages the whole school
community to use active modes
of transport to get to and from
school.
Baugh said even though some
people may have issues with a
speed limit change, it will improve
safety for their students.
“It will make a significant
difference and we will continue
to promote traffic and students’
safety around the school.
Students’ safety is our first
priority.”

Stores hit in crime spree

NEW DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT!
RUSSLEY, HALSWELL and
Wigram businesses were
among seven targeted during
a smash and grab spree across
Christchurch early on Monday
morning.
The MetroMart on Sparks Rd
in Halswell was targeted at 3am,
a large hole smashed into the
glass shop front and shards scattered
inside the store’s entrance.
Fifteen minutes after the
MetroMart was broken into, another
shop on Wigram Rd was hit.
Then at 6am, the Cutts Rd
Mini Mart in Russley was
raided. Store owner Kinjan
Shah heard a large “bang” at the
time of the incident and quickly
discovered his shop had been
targeted.
“I’m always reading the news
and I know the ram-raids happen
so I know it’s going to happen,
they target each and every
store,” he said.
Shah ran to check his shop
and found a car planted in the
building’s entrance.

Baugh said they presented
their travel plan to the Waipuna
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board, the city
council and Waka Kotahi NZ
Transport Agency, which came
back with some suggestions.
These included promoting ‘Park
and Stride’, which involves parents
parking and dropping their
children off so they can walk the
last bit to school, instead of dropping
them right at the front gate,
to help ease congestion.
Said Baugh: “(The plan included)
adding more signage to
indicate the speed limit change
on Yaldhurst Rd from 60km/h
to 50km/h, with the city council
and transport agency looking
into changing the speed limit to
30km/h during school hours.”
Baugh said Brodie St will not
be altered in terms of parking. He
has been informed the changes
will be made late 2023 to early
2024. He also said it was nice they
got a response so quickly.
“It has been an overall
positive experience, especially
for the students who were
involved as it showed them that
they could voice these issues and
be listened to.”

Promising
response
to rotary
club
call-out
• By Briar Allen
MANY NEW faces were
welcomed to Hornby Rotary
Club’s open night to learn
more about what they do in the
community.
Eighteen new people attended
last Wednesday, with seven indicating
they would like to come
back.
Club president Paul Burns said
it was great to see half of them
were on the younger side, as they
were wanting younger members
as well as new members.
“There were 38 people overall
who came along,” he said.
Pest Free Banks Peninsula team
leader Tim Sjoberg was the guest
speaker, and discussed the plan to
rid Banks Peninsula and Kaitōrete
Spit of predators by 2050.
Burns said club members also
discussed what projects they
had planned for the next 12
months.
“Our most recent one is our
buy a bubble fundraiser, which
contributes to helping build
a hydrotherapy pool for the
community.”
Release of first track
‘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

Cavell and bassist Scarlett Robson.
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 presaved
on their Facebook
and Instagram pages, or
you can catch the band
live at The Bower in the
beer garden from 1pm on
Sunday.

Platform
results in
reduced
speeds
SAFER SPEEDS are being
achieved at one of the city’s
busiest intersections since the
installation of a platform in
September last year.
The platform was put in place
to encourage vehicles to travel
at safer speeds when entering
and exiting the Lincoln Rd, Barrington
St and Whiteleigh Ave
intersection.
They are increasingly being
used around New Zealand as a
way to make roads safer.
Following the installation of the
platform, data recorded over a sixmonth
period has shown a drop
in approach speeds for vehicles
entering the intersection and they
are now more in line with the safe
system.
“Speeds have reduced between
5-13km/h for vehicles travelling
through the intersection, which
shows the system is working effectively,”
said city council transport
operations manager Stephen
Wright.
“With around 50,000 vehicles
a day travelling through the
intersection, we wanted to make it
safer for everyone by encouraging
people to drive at a safer speed.”

Team leader
provides
books with
an 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,
Monday to Friday.
“During library closures, we
work alongside the facilities team
to assist with the reconfiguration
of shelving, moving furniture
and equipment around and
minor maintenance. We also
provide valuable help with the
setting up of exhibitions across
the network.”
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.”
FIX: The city council’s
preservation and
distribution team leader
Jane Hackett says she’s in
her ‘happy place’ repairing
library books. Left – placing
material in archival boxes.

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.

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
become eligible for value-added benefits.

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.

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.
