GIVE BACK OUR<br />
WALKING FRAMES<br />
BURWOOD Hospital is making<br />
a plea for patients to return<br />
walking frames as stocks run<br />
low.<br />
Said Canterbury Allied Health<br />
director Jacqui Lunday Johnstone<br />
(right): “Anyone who has forgotten<br />
to return it – no matter how<br />
long ago – is asked to give it back,<br />
no questions asked.”<br />
She said as well as walking<br />
frames, the hospital wants any<br />
borrowed medical equipment to<br />
be returned.<br />
The same problem is also happening<br />
at Christchurch Hospital.<br />
Johnstone said people can<br />
sometimes accidentally overlook<br />
equipment they’ve borrowed, or<br />
store it away and forget about it.<br />

Community<br />
reserve<br />
visions<br />
sought<br />
from Shirley<br />
residents<br />
RESIDENTS ARE being asked<br />
to share their vision for the<br />
future of the Shirley Community<br />
Reserve.<br />
The reserve on Shirley Rd was<br />
previously home to the Shirley<br />
Community Centre.<br />
Damaged by the February<br />
22, 2011 earthquake, it was<br />
demolished in 2012.<br />
Pre-quake, the centre had been<br />
home to numerous organisations<br />
and programmes which<br />
enriched the area and helped the<br />
community.<br />
In place of the centre,<br />
the reserve was fitted with<br />
recreational facilities, such as a<br />
basketball court, playground,<br />
pump track and a large green<br />
space.<br />
Feedback from the<br />
community on the reserve’s<br />
future was sought in 2020,<br />
with 58 submitters split<br />
between replacing the old<br />
community centre or developing<br />
the area into a dynamic open<br />
green space.<br />
In 2021, the city council<br />
approved $3 million funding for<br />
the rebuild of the community<br />
centre and requested an updated<br />
feasibility study.<br />
The Waipapa Papanui-Innes-<br />
Central Community Board<br />
has since made the future of<br />
the reserve a key priority in its<br />
<strong>2023</strong>-2025 plan.<br />

Community input sought<br />
again on future of reserve<br />
Emma<br />
Norrish<br />
•From page 1<br />
Community<br />
board chair Emma<br />
Norrish said the<br />
board is keen to<br />
ensure the reserve<br />
becomes a place<br />
that enhances<br />
the community’s<br />
well-being, while<br />
providing a space<br />
for social connection.<br />
“Together, we want to develop<br />
a meaningful, dynamic and fun<br />
space for everyone, so that the<br />
reserve becomes a destination of<br />
choice for the community.<br />
“The options take into<br />
consideration feedback received<br />
by the Shirley community in<br />
2020, as well as what works well<br />
around Ōtautahi Christchurch.”<br />
The community is being asked<br />
their opinion on three options<br />
for the reserve.<br />
The community’s views will<br />
be included in the updated<br />
feasibility study to be presented<br />
to community board. All<br />
submitters will be contacted<br />
closer to that time with the<br />
meeting details and information<br />
about next steps.<br />
• To have your say on the<br />
reserve’s future, visit https://<br />
letstalk.ccc.govt.nz/SCR<br />
The options for Shirley Community Reserve are:<br />
• A recreation space with a full basketball court,<br />
renewed playground, planting, a picnic and BBQ area,<br />
a community garden and a walkway.<br />
• Creating a community hub that’s open to<br />
partnerships with local organisations.<br />
• Leaving the space as it is.<br />
FEEDBACK: The<br />
community is being<br />
asked for opinions<br />
on three options<br />
for the future of<br />
the Shirley reserve.<br />

Keeping<br />

‘depriving<br />
others in<br />
need’<br />
•From page 1<br />
Said Johnstone: “However, this<br />
appears to have occurred too<br />
frequently as it’s deprived other<br />
patients in need of accessing such<br />
equipment or caused delays in<br />
their discharge from the hospital.<br />
“If we don’t get some of this<br />
equipment back, there will be an<br />
impact on discharges over the<br />
busy winter months.<br />
“If anyone has any equipment<br />
that’s sitting unused and unneeded<br />
in their home or garage,<br />
please return it to Christchurch or<br />
Burwood hospitals.”<br />
The call also applies to secondhand<br />
shops, which may have been<br />
donated equipment that belongs<br />
to Te Whatu Ora.<br />
Hospital officials are on the<br />
hunt for walking frames, shower<br />
stools, toilet frames, bed levers,<br />
crutches, pulse oximeters and<br />
any other hospital equipment expatients<br />
no longer need.<br />
People who still have property<br />
are asked to return the equipment<br />
at specific drop-off locations<br />
at Burwood or Christchurch<br />
hospitals.<br />

SCHOOL OPTIONS - early & middle years 2022<br />
Aidanfield<br />
Christian School<br />
Aidanfield Christian School is<br />
focused on an excellent standard of<br />
learning for all our pupils within a<br />
context of strong biblical values, family<br />
involvement and an emphasis on<br />
knowing all our pupils well.<br />
‘Grow in Wisdom and Stature,<br />
Stand and Be Confident’ is our motto.<br />
We want our pupils to stand and be<br />
confident in the communities they<br />
will take their place in and believe<br />
that education is a lot more than just<br />
learning facts and figures, or training<br />
for employment. The truths of God’s<br />
word address all areas of life and impact<br />
on our response to each child, be it;<br />
spiritual, academic, physical, social or<br />
emotional. We believe that our school<br />
offers pupils the significant benefits of<br />
a local school with a strong community<br />
and family environment.<br />
You may have heard about us, come<br />
see for yourself, call or email to meet<br />
the Principal.<br />

Is your child on track for high school?<br />
Will their intermediate school option offer<br />
their best preparation? How will you know?<br />
At St Michael’s, we know, and why. Our<br />
Year 7 & 8 teachers are subject specialists.<br />
With almost 50% of our timetable<br />
committed to English and Maths, your<br />
child’s essential foundations for secondary<br />
school are guaranteed.<br />
In our classes of 10-20, we know<br />
your child. We aim for every Year 8 to<br />
graduate up to 18 months ahead of Year 9<br />
expectations.<br />
This academic rigour underpins our<br />
wider curriculums in History, Geography,<br />
Science and Spanish. IT literacy is<br />
taught, not assumed, and computer use is<br />
measured. We like teaching and talking to<br />
our pupils!<br />
Specialist art and music classes<br />
are enjoyed weekly, and many pupils<br />
participate in individual itinerant lessons.<br />
Our several choirs, Stage Band and<br />
Orchestra perform regularly. Sporting and<br />
Inter-house events raise passions.<br />
Our senior programme, Parare, advances<br />
our Year 7 & 8 education outside the box,<br />
from financial literacy to new sports and<br />
outdoor ed; leadership challenges to civics<br />
and citizenship.<br />
To discover the best preparation for your<br />
child, you are warmly welcome to visit us<br />

Does Mazda’s 1.9-litre diesel turbo deliver?<br />
MAZDA IS hoping for an uplift<br />
in buyer interest in two of the<br />
most affordable versions of its<br />
BT-50 ute, as it feels the sales<br />
heat from a host of rivals.<br />
Mazda’s response is a new<br />
1.9-litre turbo-diesel motor<br />
for its price-leading 2WD GSX<br />
and GTX double cabs, the only<br />
body style offered here. Can this<br />
motor with its modest engine<br />
capacity and power output add<br />
more spring to the BT-50’s sales<br />
step?<br />
Just to refresh your memory –<br />
the latest BT-50 has been around<br />
since early 2021. Apart from cosmetic<br />
differences, it is a rebadged<br />
Isuzu D-Max.<br />
Offering a 1.9-litre turbo diesel<br />
gives the BT-50 a major point<br />
of difference over its rivals with<br />
its low CO2 output of 205g/km.<br />
Mazda claim it’s the lowest CO2<br />
figure of any diesel double cab<br />
Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />
ute on our market. This means<br />
it attracts a lower government<br />
clean car fee than most of its<br />
rivals.<br />
The 1.9-litre motor also saves<br />
a fair wad of your hard-earned<br />
cash compared to the 3.0-litre<br />
turbo diesel in its AWD sibling.<br />
The smaller power plant incurs a<br />
$1868 fee. That’s $3767 less than<br />
the clean car fee bounty on an<br />
AWD BT-50.<br />
This new, smaller motor<br />
capacity is exclusive to the price<br />
leading GSX and mid-spec GTX<br />
2WD. The GSX supplied for this<br />
road test heads the BT-50’s value<br />
for money charge at $48,740, plus<br />
the clean car fee.<br />
This frugal four-cylinder<br />
turbo diesel is feisty enough with<br />
110kW of power and 350Nm<br />
of torque. The latter is about<br />
100Nm down on the larger<br />
3.0-litre put to work in the AWD<br />
BT-50. Despite less power and<br />
torque, its towing capabilities are<br />
only marginally down on these<br />
models.<br />
The Isuzu-sourced 1.9-litre is<br />
widely used in BT-50 and D-Max<br />
models sold in Southeast Asia,<br />
including Thailand, where both<br />
models are produced. It’s a tough<br />
wee motor, yet unexpectedly<br />
smooth and refined. Acceleration<br />
from standing starts and in-gear<br />
is brisk, but you are always aware<br />
that with its modest engine<br />
capacity it has to work harder<br />
for the same results delivered by<br />
the larger diesels powering in<br />
its competitors. Enabling it to<br />
punch above its weight is a smart<br />
six-speed automatic well versed<br />
in selecting the right gear at the<br />
right time.<br />
A generously proportioned<br />
cabin has plenty of front and<br />
rear legroom, while the seats<br />
are supportive and comfy. The<br />
instruments and controls for key<br />
functions such as lights, wipers<br />
and indicators are easy to operate<br />
and read.<br />
For a price-driven model the<br />
GSX lacks for little in the way<br />
of features and driver creature<br />
comforts. A touch screen infotainment<br />
system supports both<br />
Apple CarPlay and Android<br />
Auto, with a multi-information<br />
display providing key driving<br />
information are standard.<br />
This model has a host of classleading<br />
active safety technologies<br />
to help keep the driver out of<br />
trouble. These include Autonomous<br />
Emergency Braking with<br />
Pedestrian/Cyclist Detection,<br />
Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind<br />
Spot Monitoring, and Lane Departure<br />
Warning.<br />
The delicate balance between<br />
ride comfort and road holding<br />
is right on the mark and as<br />
good as you will find among the<br />
current crop of utes. With the<br />
BT-50 you get as standard class<br />
leading suspension refinement,<br />
although the firmer rear spring<br />
settings make its low-speed ride<br />
over uneven surfaces fidgety. The<br />
test ute cornered confidently,<br />
with the experience made more<br />
enjoyable by well weighted and<br />
communicative steering.<br />
