Rogue `baiters cause<br />
problems in red zone<br />

FRUSTRATING: Rule-abiding whitebaiters are frustrated by what is happening in the red zone.<br />
• By Emily Ansell<br />
SOME whitebaiters are<br />
knocking down fences and<br />
camping illegally in the red<br />
zone, frustrating authorities<br />
and law-abiding fishers.<br />
Two weeks into the new<br />
season, the city council has<br />
been dealing with whitebaiters<br />
forcing entry and parking up<br />
illegally along the Ōtākaro<br />
Avon River in tents and selfcontained<br />
buses.<br />
Two fences were broken at<br />
Locksley Ave and River Rd in<br />
the first few days.<br />
Dallington Residents<br />
Association chairwoman Bebe<br />
Frayle said the area already had<br />
a problem with unauthorised<br />
vehicles “hooning round” in the<br />
red zone, which she says invites<br />
more trouble.<br />
“People see that there are<br />
people in there over the fences,<br />
and then it just encourages<br />
other people to do it as well.<br />
“It creates a bit of a free-forall,<br />
which is not great.”<br />
One whitebaiter, who doesn’t<br />
want to be named, said this is<br />
the kind of behaviour that gives<br />
the rest of them a bad rap.<br />
He said the rules are there<br />
for a reason and wants other<br />
whitebaiters to be fair about it.<br />
“Breaking down fences and<br />
setting up full-on campsites is a<br />
step too far.<br />
“And it annoys the rest of us.<br />
That’s where fights between<br />
whitebaiters start, and again<br />
that just makes us look bad.”<br />

Work on<br />
nor’west<br />
arc cycle<br />
route link<br />
underway<br />
THE NEXT stage of<br />
construction on the Nor’West<br />
Arc Cycleway is underway.<br />
The new section of the<br />
cycleway will run from<br />
Canterbury University to<br />
Aorangi Rd and is expected to be<br />
complete by mid-2024.<br />
Work started on Monday along<br />
Ilam Rd between Aorangi Rd<br />
and Maidstone Rd.<br />
City council head of transport<br />
Lynette Ellis said the cycleway<br />
will make it safer and easier for<br />
people to bike to school, the<br />
university, the local shops and<br />
Jellie Park.<br />
“Making it safer for people to<br />
bike helps reduce congestion,<br />
lowers emissions and makes it<br />
easier for cyclists to get around,”<br />
Ellis said.<br />
“As part of this work we’re<br />
also making it safer for Cobham<br />
Intermediate and Burnside<br />
Primary School students to<br />
safely cross Ilam Rd by installing<br />
a signalised crossing with a safe<br />
speed platform.”<br />
Additional improvements<br />
include new trees and<br />
landscaping, upgrading the<br />
layout at signalised intersections<br />
and installing tactile pavers. This<br />
will encourage people to travel at<br />
lower speeds to make it safer for<br />
everyone.<br />

$120k ‘discount’ on retro house<br />
• By Nikki Preston<br />
A RETRO home with red<br />
and orange zig-zag carpet<br />
rescued from the Tivoli Theatre<br />
Cathedral Square in the<br />
mid-1990s has sold under the<br />
hammer for $460,000 – $120,000<br />
below its RV.<br />
Just one person bid on the<br />
three-bedroom, two-bathroom<br />
home on Coopers Rd, Burwood.<br />
The auction paused at<br />
$400,000 leaving the owner and<br />
buyer to negotiate a sale behind<br />
closed doors. But after almost<br />
half an hour later the 1960s<br />
property was announced on the<br />
market and sold for $460,000.<br />
The property, which had been<br />
marketed as being “budgetfriendly”,<br />
was bought by a<br />
woman for her family.<br />
Bayleys listing agent Angela<br />
Webb said the mother and<br />
daughter planned to live in it and<br />
slowly renovate it, she said.<br />
“They loved the property and<br />
are really looking forward to<br />
moving in,” she said.<br />
The size of both the home and<br />
the section, as well as the price,<br />
had been big drawcards, Webb<br />
said.<br />
“It’s become harder and harder<br />
to buy affordable properties in<br />
Christchurch. That price bracket<br />
is getting quite swamped out;<br />
there’s a lot of first-home buyers<br />
shopping.”<br />
ART DECO: The carpet was taken from the Tivoli theatre and transported to 58 Coopers<br />
Rd over 30 years ago.<br />
When asked about the unusual<br />
carpet, Webb said: “It’s nothing<br />
like I have ever seen.”<br />
Three people had registered<br />
for the Coopers Rd auction<br />
including two home buyers and<br />
one property trader.<br />
The previous owner had<br />
owned the rental property for<br />
almost three decades and said<br />
she had decided to sell because of<br />
the rising costs facing landlords.<br />
She was happy with the result<br />
and pleased to be able to move<br />
on and look for new investments,<br />
HISTORIC: The<br />
Tivoli Theatre<br />
closed in 1994.<br />
Webb said.<br />
The property was described as<br />
an affordable project and it had<br />
an original kitchen along with<br />
the carpet reclaimed from the<br />
Tivoli Theatre when it closed in<br />
the 1990s.<br />
Long-term tenants of the<br />
property previously embraced<br />
the home’s art deco vibe and<br />
created a different 1950s theme<br />
in every room complete with tea<br />
trolleys and old ashtrays.<br />
“They used to have real tours<br />
through the house showing all<br />
the stuff. They were there for<br />
years and years . . . it was quite<br />
remarkable what they had in<br />
there,” the previous owner said.<br />

Call for Girl Guides volunteers<br />
• By Briar Allen<br />
A LACK of volunteer leaders is<br />
affecting the number of girls who<br />
can participate in Girl Guides.<br />
Girl Guides New Zealand<br />
volunteer and programme team<br />
leader Belinda Turnbull said<br />
they have seen a drop of girls<br />
enrolling in Girl Guides because<br />
there has been no real marketing<br />
or push to get more girls to join<br />
the programme.<br />
“The reason for that is because<br />
we cannot offer everyone the<br />
positive experience we know we<br />
can until we get more volunteer<br />
leaders, as we want to be able<br />
to provide a positive and safe<br />
experience for both our leaders<br />
and our girls,” she said.<br />
Turnbull said the drop in<br />
volunteers is due to people’s lives<br />
changing as well as the economy.<br />
“People’s lives change, the<br />
shortage of leaders at the<br />
Northcote unit is due to one<br />
just having a baby, another has<br />
moved overseas and the other<br />
found it overwhelming with<br />
work, study and volunteering.<br />
“But volunteers from other<br />
units have rallied together to<br />
support Northcote while we<br />
recruit new volunteers and<br />
train them. They have all been<br />
working together as a team to<br />
create an experience for the<br />
girls.”<br />
She said the economy is a bit of<br />
a problem, with most households<br />
GUIDING: Girl Guiding New Zealand is wanting more adult volunteers to help lead their<br />
Guide units. <br />
unable to live off of one income.<br />
“Both parents are usually<br />
working and between work<br />
and raising their own kids,<br />
most people don’t have time to<br />
volunteer.”<br />
Turnbull said volunteering<br />
is a great way to give back and<br />
make new connections and<br />
friendships.<br />
“Part of it is also raising our<br />
next generation of girls to be<br />
confident and adventurous.<br />
Volunteers can also gain<br />
development and training<br />
qualifications and first aid from<br />
volunteering.”<br />
Local coordinator and regional<br />
hub coordinator Lisa Milroy has<br />
been volunteering for the past<br />
decade and said she grew up<br />
guiding.<br />
“Guiding has been my life<br />
since I was six years old. I started<br />
in Pippin and Brownie units in<br />
South Waikato as a fresh leader,<br />
I then shifted to Rotorua to start<br />
my nursing training, and ran<br />
a unit there for a year, before<br />
having to step back to focus on<br />
placements. This was such a hard<br />
decision,” she said.<br />
Milroy said she then moved up<br />
to Auckland and found the local<br />
coordinator role perfect and was<br />
in the role for just under a year.<br />
“Then the decision to move<br />
to Christchurch relocated me<br />
once more. I stepped straight<br />
into being the local coordinator<br />
down here in April last year, and<br />
then applied for the regional hub<br />
coordinator position.”<br />
She said she truly believes<br />
volunteering changes you<br />
and that giving back to the<br />
community is one of the greatest<br />
things you can do with your<br />
time.<br />
“I may not donate hundreds<br />
or thousands, but the time I<br />
give, I reap rewards. This is my<br />
space away from home to enjoy<br />
being a woman, enjoy seeing<br />
girls gain skills and grow in their<br />
confidence, and see leaders make<br />
connections, in a world where<br />
that isn’t always easy.”<br />
Milroy said Guides is a<br />
unique opportunity for girls to<br />
reach their potential and have<br />
a safe place to explore, grow<br />
their confidence, find their<br />
passions, discover things that<br />
are important to them, and learn<br />
and exercise responsibility.<br />
“Girls learn better without<br />
having to compete with boys,<br />
and guiding provides exactly<br />
that. In my time as a member I<br />
abseiled, learned to use a bow<br />
and arrow, shoot a BB gun, and<br />
sea kayak. Now I aim for leaders<br />
to get the same experience.”<br />

Schools collaborate<br />
to restore sculpture<br />
• By Briar Allen<br />
SIX SCHOOLS rallied together<br />
to breathe life back into an art<br />
sculpture in Hornby.<br />
South Hornby School, Hornby<br />
Primary School, Yaldhurst<br />
Model School, Templeton<br />
School, Gilberthorpe School and<br />
Wigram Primary School were all<br />
invited to paint river rocks to go<br />
in the sculpture.<br />
The sculpture, located in<br />
Denton Park, was originally<br />
created by Judith Streat in 2004<br />
and drew inspiration for her<br />
design from timelines, family<br />
trees and the geography of the<br />
area.<br />
South Hornby School deputy<br />
principal Kristen Harris-Tatana<br />
said the original rocks were more<br />
like pebbles and people kept<br />
taking them out, so those in the<br />
updated sculpture are more like<br />
river rocks.<br />
“The children have been busy<br />
painting the stones to put into<br />
the sculpture over a few weeks.<br />
Some have pictures representing<br />
their home countries, reflecting<br />
on how we are a multi-cultural<br />
society and some are pictures of<br />
the school post-earthquake, but<br />
all reflect the story of the area,”<br />
she said.<br />
ROCKS: Pupils from some of the schools involved in the<br />
project, along with helpers, celebrate the unveiling of the<br />
rejuvenated sculpture.<br />
Harris-Tatana said they were<br />
approached by city council<br />
ranger Holly Whitaker who<br />
asked if they wanted to be<br />
involved with the project.<br />
“This project has helped<br />
the children gain more of an<br />
understanding of people in the<br />
community and has let them<br />
create artwork that has brought<br />
them together and hopefully will<br />
bring the community together<br />
too.”<br />
Whitaker said it was amazing<br />
to have the kids involved in this<br />
project and that the sculpture<br />
will not go unnoticed anymore.<br />
“This park will benefit from<br />
the extra care and it will give the<br />
community a bit of ownership<br />
and pride,” she said.<br />
Greater Hornby Residents<br />
Association chair Kim Moss<br />
said it was lovely to see how the<br />
children have been able to work<br />
together.<br />
“It is fantastic to have the<br />
artwork displayed. It gives us and<br />

Cycleway work<br />
detours in place<br />
• From page 1<br />
“Traffic will travel one way in<br />
a northbound direction along<br />
Ilam Rd with southbound traffic<br />
detoured. There is no access<br />
to Ilam Rd from the Clyde Rd<br />
roundabout,” said Ellis.<br />
“The detour routes are<br />
signposted. Please use Clyde Rd<br />
to the east, and Waimairi Rd/<br />
Greers Rd to the west.”<br />
The traffic lights at Ilam/<br />
Memorial and Ilam/Maidstone<br />
will be temporarily turned off<br />
for about eight weeks during the<br />
upgrade.<br />
The Nor’ West Arc will provide<br />
an important link connecting<br />
Cashmere to the Northern Line<br />
Cycleway, near St James Park in<br />
Papanui.<br />
Sections of the cycleway<br />
between Cashmere Rd and<br />
Annex Rd and Blenheim Rd to<br />

A notice of motion on the<br />
process to adopt a different<br />
design for the Aorangi Rd<br />
between Ilam Rd and Brookside<br />
Tce section of the Nor’West Arc<br />
was approved by the city council<br />
on last week. It does not impact<br />

Join our Open Days<br />
in <strong>September</strong><br />
Warmer months are just around the corner<br />
That means gardens need to be prepared, repairs and maintenance planned, and spring<br />
cleaning started.<br />
Here at Summerset on Cavendish in Casebrook, we’re busy getting the village ready too.<br />
But our residents don’t need to lift a finger, as we take care of the chores, leaving them to<br />
spend their days how best they wish. Although some do still love to look after their gardens<br />
of course.<br />
If you’ve ever been curious about village life with fewer chores, now could be the time. We’re<br />
holding an Open Day every Thursday in <strong>September</strong> between 10am and 2pm, so you can get<br />
a taste of the Summerset life that our residents love so much.<br />

Whitebaiter camps<br />
‘disappointing’<br />
• From page 1<br />
He added they’re all in the same boat,<br />
and have to do what they can to make<br />
sure future generations get to fish as well.<br />
Last year the city council<br />
ruled whitebaiters were no<br />
longer able to purchase keys to<br />
access fenced areas around the<br />
riverbank.<br />
City council residential red<br />
zone manager Dave Little said<br />
the situation is disappointing,<br />
but he hopes things will<br />
improve.<br />
“It’s probably one of those<br />
situations that we’ll get at the start of the<br />
season, and then our rangers go out and<br />
talk to those individuals . . . we’re hoping<br />
that then they’ll start to even out.”<br />
Little said they’re managing the<br />
issue, and those they’ve spoken to have<br />
complied so far. “If that becomes a<br />
repeated pattern, and it starts to look like<br />
it’s going to escalate, then our rangers<br />
would have to hand those matters on to<br />
police.”<br />
Frayle (left) said the city<br />
council has become good at<br />
dealing with this situation, but<br />
antisocial and disrespectful<br />
behaviour is a problem every<br />
season.<br />
“There are people who are<br />
whitebaiting along that river<br />
(who) don’t leave any mess, and<br />
they’re respectful . . . but there<br />
are lots of people who aren’t.”<br />
She added that whitebaiters need to be<br />
mindful they’re entering a community<br />
who have been through a lot, and while<br />
they want to share their space, they need<br />
to feel safe. – NZ Herald<br />
Nationwide first<br />
for swim team<br />
THE CITY council swim education team<br />
has become the first organisation in New<br />
Zealand to get accreditation as a water<br />
skills for life provider.<br />
City council swim education manager<br />
Tina de Boer said the accreditation is<br />
recognition of the team’s dedication to<br />
the Swimsafe programme which educates<br />
children about water safety.<br />
“Teaching children water safety is a<br />
crucial skill they will use for the rest of<br />
their life. Our goal is to give children the<br />
skills and knowledge they need to<br />
assess risk and make smart decisions<br />
around water.<br />
“We are very proud to have received this<br />
significant recognition for the hard work<br />
and effort we have put into our successful<br />
programme.”<br />
De Boer said the Swimsafe programme<br />
has been developed over a number of<br />
years.<br />
No other organisation or individual<br />
in New Zealand has received this<br />
accreditation to date.<br />
Water Skills for Life is a national water<br />
safety education programme, supported by<br />
Water Safety New Zealand and ACC.<br />
It was developed for children in years<br />
1-8 to learn water safety while at school.<br />
GIVING BLOOD TO SAVE A LIFE<br />
Recently my Macy and Hannah’s<br />
greyhound gave up their blood to help<br />
save a life, both within days of each other.<br />
The dog needing the blood ended up<br />
with 4 blood transfusions over 10 days<br />
and sadly we couldn’t save her. When a<br />
patient requires a blood transfusion, things<br />
need to happen fast as the patient has lost<br />
too much blood for sustainability of life.<br />
For patients that have lost blood volume,<br />
whole blood or packed red blood cells are<br />
required.<br />
Left: Percy getting<br />
a toy after being a<br />
blood donor.<br />
Below:<br />
Macy gave up<br />
400 mls of blood.<br />
Here she is sedated<br />
for the procedure.<br />
We fairly commonly<br />
see blood loss<br />
anemias with<br />
poisonings like rat<br />
bait, bleeding spleens or ruptured tumours<br />
and trauma like road traffic accidents. Some<br />
of these patients will exhibit weakness,<br />
laboured breathing and wobbliness.<br />
Transfused blood to a dog with a non<br />
regenerative anemia will last 120 days, so it<br />
can stabilise a dog for 2-3 months allowing<br />
diagnostic tests to be completed.<br />
We don’t keep stored fresh blood products<br />
so if we can’t source from the NZL Blood<br />
Bank, we have a few of our own donors<br />
with staff pets.<br />
To become a donor first the dog has to be<br />
healthy, fully vaccinated and parasite free,<br />
not on medications and not had cancer or<br />
chemotherapy in the past. They need to<br />
weight over 25kg and have a PCV over 35%.<br />
Greyhounds are perfect donor dogs for this<br />
reason. We then need to get their blood<br />
type to make sure they are the donor type<br />
( Ideally DEA 1.1 or DEA 1.2 negative). The<br />
recipient dog also needs the same blood<br />
type as the donor and both dogs need to<br />
Last week I operated on my beautiful<br />
<strong>14</strong> year old Labrador Lola to remove a<br />
potentially malignant, life threatening<br />
Anal Gland cancer ( I’m still awaiting the<br />
histology results). I took her for a CT scan<br />
at Pacific Radiology to check she was<br />
cancer free elsewhere before embarking<br />
on this major surgery. She flew through<br />
the anaesthetic, even getting a teeth clean<br />
and pedicure before wake up. She is doing<br />
fabulously, taking all her medications<br />
be cross matched at the laboratory, on the<br />
day of the transfusion.<br />
Usually we sedate the donor dog to remove<br />
the blood needed for the patient in need.<br />
We check the donor dogs amount of red<br />
blood cells ( PCV) before we remove 10%<br />
to 15% of the donors blood volume. To<br />
prevent hypovolemia ( low blood volume)<br />
the donor should receive intravenous<br />
fluids (IVF) at the commencement of the<br />
transfusion. A dogs total blood volume is<br />
90mls/kg bodyweight so Macy could give<br />
between 300-400mls blood safely.<br />
The donor blood is given to the patient<br />
in need via the jugular or cephalic vein<br />
through a filtered giving set, which reduces<br />
clots entering the circulation. Blood can<br />
be warmed to body temperature before<br />
administration. Slow blood flow rates<br />
are advised for the first 30 minutes of the<br />
transfusion to detect a possible reaction.<br />
Signs of a transfusion reaction are hives,<br />
intense scratching, vomiting,<br />
fevers, depression, changes<br />
in breathing and heart rates,<br />
convulsions or cardiac arrest.<br />
Luckily I haven’t witnessed<br />
a transfusion reaction ever,<br />
probably because we type<br />
and crossmatch our donors<br />
carefully, and have a nurse<br />
sitting with these patients<br />
observing their vitals.<br />
Transfusion medicine isn’t<br />
common, but if and when you<br />
need to to save a patients life,<br />
your whole team need to be<br />
ready to go fast. Having donor dogs and<br />
cats in the practice we have typed and we<br />
know are healthy saves a huge amount<br />
of time and potentially a life. If you’d like<br />
your dog to be a donor dog then let us<br />
know. You can never have too many blood<br />
donors.<br />

Herby chicken dippers<br />
This is the perfect recipe to make<br />
when zucchini is in season. Serve<br />
with a fresh green salad for dinner<br />
or make smaller dippers to share<br />
as nibbles at a party or barbecue.<br />
Dippers - makes 24<br />
2 medium zucchini<br />
500g chicken mince<br />
½ cup breadcrumbs<br />
1 egg<br />
2 spring onions, finely chopped<br />
2 cloves garlic, crushed<br />
2 Tbsp finely chopped mint<br />
2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh<br />
parsley<br />
1 tsp ground cumin<br />
1 tsp salt<br />
¼ tsp cracked black pepper<br />
Minty dipping sauce<br />
¾ cup Greek yoghurt<br />
1 handful fresh mint, finely<br />
chopped<br />
1 tsp finely grated lemon zest<br />
1 Tbsp lemon juice<br />
¼ tsp salt<br />
Method<br />
• Coarsely grate the zucchini on<br />
to a clean tea towel. Pull up the<br />
edges and wring out as much<br />
liquid as possible.<br />
• Transfer to a large mixing<br />
bowl. Add all the remaining<br />
ingredients and mix until<br />
combined.<br />
• Roll the mixture into about 24<br />
balls about the size of golf balls.<br />
Place on a plate, flatten slightly<br />
with the palm of your hand and<br />
chill for 10 minutes to firm up.<br />
• To make the minty dipping<br />
sauce, combine the ingredients<br />
in a bowl and chill until needed.<br />
• Cook the chicken dippers on a<br />
hot barbecue for 15-20 minutes<br />
until nicely browned and cooked<br />
through.<br />
• Serve with the sauce on the<br />
side, and garnish with extra<br />
mint.<br />
Notes<br />
This mixture could also be made<br />
into chicken burger patties.<br />
To save time I use a pull chopper<br />
to finely chop my herbs and<br />
spring onion together.<br />
Lemon and blueberry loaf<br />
This is a lovely, light loaf, perfect<br />
for morning tea that just looks so<br />
pretty when glazed.<br />
Loaf<br />
150g butter, melted<br />
1 cup white sugar<br />
1 Tbsp finely grated lemon zest<br />
½ cup lemon juice<br />
2 eggs, whisked<br />
2 cups plain flour<br />
1 tsp baking powder<br />
1 tsp baking soda<br />
¾ cup frozen blueberries, thawed<br />
Lemon glaze<br />
1 cup icing sugar<br />
1 tsp finely grated lemon zest<br />
2 Tbsp lemon juice<br />
Method<br />
• Preheat the oven to 170°C fan<br />
bake. Line a 27 x 13 cm loaf tin<br />
with baking paper.<br />
• Mix together the butter and<br />
sugar in a large bowl. Stir in the<br />
lemon zest and juice. Add the<br />
eggs and mix again.<br />
• Sift in the flour, baking powder<br />
and soda. Fold together until just<br />
combined.<br />
• Pour one-third of the batter<br />
into the lined tin. Scatter half of<br />
the blueberries on top. Repeat<br />
with one-third more of the<br />
mixture and the remaining<br />
blueberries. Finish with the<br />
remaining loaf mixture and<br />
smooth the top.<br />
• Bake for 50-60 minutes, until<br />
a skewer inserted into the centre<br />
comes out clean. Allow to cool.<br />
• To make the lemon glaze, mix<br />
the icing sugar, lemon zest and<br />
juice. Add the boiling water a<br />
little at a time until a drizzling<br />
consistency is achieved.<br />
• Drizzle the lemon glaze over<br />
the cooled loaf. Allow to set<br />
before slicing and serving. Store<br />
in an airtight container in the<br />
pantry.<br />
Notes<br />
Use fresh blueberries if they are<br />
in season.<br />

New look Valentines open now<br />
Hornby restaurant offers more choices and familiar favourites<br />
Thousands of Christchurch families will<br />
have fond memories of enjoying the tasty<br />
food and friendly vibe of Valentines buffet<br />
restaurant, which was located for many<br />
years in the central city.<br />
A New Zealand-wide franchise<br />
operation, the business went through many<br />
changes over the years, then with new<br />
owners taking over the company six years<br />
ago, it gained a new momentum.<br />
A third franchise was set up in Auckland,<br />
its Rotorua restaurant reopened, and in July<br />
2019, Valentines Christchurch opened at a<br />
new location – Chalmers Street, Hornby.<br />
As company director Ron Lal explains,<br />
Valentines has a rich history in Kiwi culture<br />
and they wanted to retain that feeling of<br />
nostalgia, but with some new concepts<br />
added to the mix.<br />
“We wanted to offer our customers a new<br />
experience that’s up with the times, and<br />
with a modern twist on hospitality.<br />
“Customers have a lot more choice of<br />
food now,” he says, “for example you can<br />
choose your own meat, which will be<br />
cooked individually for you. We offer a big<br />
selection of dishes, seafood and desserts,<br />
and of course there are the familiar<br />
favourites that the children love, like the<br />
chocolate fountain and an endless supply of<br />
ice-cream.<br />
“We want to wow the customers and<br />
at the same time we want to create that<br />
nostalgic Valentines feel.”<br />
The Valentines tradition of a free meal<br />
for a customer on their birthday has been<br />
upgraded to a celebratory birthday treat<br />
and, of course, with the famous birthday<br />
song being sung by staff, too. Families are<br />
also invited to take advantage of the school<br />
holiday special from time to time. During<br />
the holidays, one child under the age of<br />
eight gets a free lunch if accompanied by a<br />
full paying adult. (T’s & C’s apply.)<br />
Valentines has always been seen as a<br />
100 per cent family restaurant, a tradition<br />
that the new Valentines team is keen to<br />
continue, but Valentines is also a restaurant<br />
for everyone, from families to couples,<br />
to friends getting together to celebrate a<br />
special occasion.<br />
Situated in the heart of the Hornby<br />
shopping precinct, not only is Valentines<br />
the ideal place for people from the Hornby<br />
community to enjoy tasty food and a warm,<br />
friendly vibe, it also employs local staff,<br />
who are treated well and therefore enjoy<br />
working there and giving their customers<br />
the best possible service.<br />
Valentines is open seven days a week,<br />
from 10am till late. Outside the buffet<br />
times they also do the popular Valentines<br />
Shareboxes, which offer a range of<br />
amazing dishes.<br />

Hyundai Sante Fe hybrid strong and sporty<br />
HYUNDAI’S Sante Fe has joined<br />
the electrification party and<br />
celebrates its arrival by offering<br />
standard and plug-in hybrid<br />
models, with the leap to full<br />
electrification expected in 2024<br />
with the arrival of an all-new<br />
replacement for the current<br />
model.<br />
The Santa Fe is Hyundai’s<br />
longest-running SUV now with<br />
23 years on the clock. In this<br />
time, it’s built a strong following<br />
here, hitting the sweet spot for<br />
many with its 7-seater capability,<br />
spaciousness, and a raft of safety<br />
kit that has helped power it to the<br />
maximum 5-star ANCAP crash<br />
rating.<br />
The Santa Fe is available with<br />
Hyundai’s stalwart 1.6-litre<br />
turbocharged four-cylinder<br />
petrol engine combined with<br />
either a 169kW standard Hybrid<br />
version or a 195kW Plug-in<br />
Hybrid option. The Santa Fe<br />
www.drivesouth.co.nz<br />
Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />
Hybrid uses a 44.2kW electric<br />
motor and 1.49kWh lithium-ion<br />
polymer battery, with claimed<br />
fuel consumption figures of<br />
6.3L/100km. The Plug-in Santa<br />
Fe can travel up to 56km on<br />
battery power, perfect for the<br />
daily commutes. This figure is<br />
eclipsed by the 89km you get<br />
with the slightly smaller but more<br />
affordable Mitsubishi Outlander<br />
PHEV.<br />
Prices for the three-model<br />
hybrid range start at $88,990 for<br />
the entry version and a steepish<br />
$99,990 ask on the elite being<br />
evaluated here. For another $10k<br />
you can have this model as a<br />
plug-in hybrid. This is a hefty<br />
premium to pay for plug-in<br />
capability, when there is not<br />
an enormous difference in real<br />
world performance separating it<br />
and the standard hybrid.<br />
An energetic 169kw hybrid<br />
power train in the test vehicle<br />
Incorporating<br />
best motorbuys<br />
proved surprisingly zesty<br />
compared to the less than<br />
animated performance of some<br />
hybrids, with the test vehicle<br />
especially energetic between<br />
1,500-4,500rpm. This is the rev<br />
sweet spot for ensuring a driving<br />
experience like a good coffee;<br />
smooth, strong, and leaves you<br />
feeling invigorated. Acceleration<br />
is strong for a standard hybrid<br />
and is almost verging on sporty.<br />
A rich vein of torque and the<br />
extra kick of a battery pack<br />
ensures punchy take-offs from<br />
standing starts, and purposeful<br />
mid-range pulling power.<br />
These qualities make light<br />
work of undulating roads and<br />
long energy sapping hill climbs.<br />
Managing this impressive hybrid<br />
petrol electric is an equally<br />
accomplished uprated 6-speed<br />
automatic.<br />
Passenger and load space<br />
is outstanding with every<br />
centimetre of capacity utilized. It<br />
gives its rivals a lesson in smart<br />
interior packaging and space<br />
maximization. Adding a touch of<br />
class to the elite is a full leather<br />
interior and power front seat<br />
adjustment to lock in the perfect<br />
seating position.<br />
I liked the intuitive 8”<br />
touchscreen multimedia system,<br />
incorporating Apple CarPlay &<br />
Android Auto for fully integrated<br />
smartphone functionality. Also<br />
included is wireless smartphone<br />
charging.<br />
A head-up display projects<br />
relevant driving and safety<br />
information directly onto the<br />
windshield. This makes for a<br />
much more relaxing driving<br />
experience, enabling the driver<br />
to keep their eyes on the road,<br />
because now this information is<br />
right under their noses!<br />
The Santa Fe put its best<br />
safety foot forward with driving<br />
assistance technologies including<br />
blind-spot collision warning,<br />
forward collision-avoidance<br />
assist with pedestrian detection,<br />
and lane keeping assist.<br />
There has been a re-work of<br />
the suspension to ensure this<br />
Santa Fe has more control and<br />
less body lean on twisty roads,<br />
or when called on to make<br />
unexpected changes in direction.<br />
A 15mm reduction in ground<br />
clearance over the old model<br />
brings a more composed feel<br />
to the suspension. Through the<br />
bends, it sits noticeably flatter<br />
and is less distracted by uneven<br />
road surfaces, with minimal<br />
lateral vehicle movement from<br />
the rear suspension.<br />
The Santa Fe’s serious off-road<br />
adventuring aspirations are<br />
firmly held in check. It does<br />
a decent enough job and feels<br />
assured traversing reasonably<br />
well-formed tracks.<br />

Mission Without Borders<br />
visit the Sechka’s house<br />
with support to lift them<br />
out of poverty.<br />
Families in Ukraine<br />
need your help!<br />
The Sechka family live in a rural area<br />
of Sarny region, western Ukraine, in<br />
an old dilapidated house. Mykhailo,<br />
40, and his wife Nadiya, 31, work hard to<br />
provide for their family. They face a massive<br />
challenge as three of their five children have<br />
severe disabilities. One of their daughters<br />
is unable to walk at all. The health of<br />
their children means they need medical<br />
examinations, check-ups, and treatment.<br />
Which costs money.<br />
Mykhailo used to work in forestry, but<br />
when the war began, he lost most of his<br />
wages then he had to quit. Since then, he<br />
has focused on farming and keeps cows,<br />
pigs, geese, and poultry to survive.<br />
Son Mieko loves his parents and sees they<br />
are hardworking. Mykhailo must cultivate<br />
a lot of land to grow forage for the animals,<br />
and vegetables and grain for the family. He<br />
was using an old tractor that he bought 15<br />
years ago. The tractor is 50 years old and<br />
required constant repair. Mykhailo says that<br />
after each working day he had to repair it<br />
and it wasn’t worth the money. Since then,<br />
the old tractor became a place where Mieko<br />
and his siblings play.<br />
Despite Mykhailo and Nadiya’s efforts,<br />
the family’s situation became very difficult.<br />
The loss of income, health issues and the<br />
ongoing war has taken its toll.<br />
Mieko’s family need help with resources,<br />
such as tools and machinery, so they can<br />
grow food for themselves.<br />
Right now, the Ukrainian economy<br />
is shrinking, and inflation is rising. So,<br />
supporting families just like Mieko’s with a<br />
self-sufficiency project will be a lifeline.<br />
Mieko’s anxiety and uncertainty and have<br />
resulted in physical and psychological<br />
issues. There is no doubt that the impact<br />
of war will be felt by his family and many<br />
others for years to come.<br />
Support MiSSion Without BorderS<br />
At Mission Without Borders, we regularly reach<br />
out to Kiwis who respond by giving, praying,<br />
and offering their unwavering support.<br />
If you would like to help, here are<br />
some ways we can make a difference<br />
together:<br />
1. A gift of $30 will supply an emergency<br />
food and hygiene parcel to help<br />
displaced and vulnerable people in the<br />
Ukraine.<br />
2. Sponsor a family: we have families<br />
in Ukraine waiting right now for<br />
sponsorship. You can enable and<br />
encourage a whole family to lift<br />
themselves out of poverty and become<br />
self-sufficient for $45 a month.<br />
3. Consider donating towards a selfsufficiency<br />
project for a family like<br />
Mieko’s. This will give them the<br />
opportunity to not only survive but<br />
thrive ‒ $25 will provide a packet of<br />
seeds to grow life-sustaining fruits<br />
and vegetables.<br />
