Innovative student<br />
steers way to success<br />
EV-LUTION: Corey Griffiths has worked on his kart with Burnside High School head of technology John Creighton.<br />
• By Sasha Watson<br />
COREY Griffiths will be<br />
combining a passion for racing<br />
and electronics when he<br />
defends his EVolocity regional<br />
title on Saturday.<br />
The Burnside High School<br />
year 10 student will be among<br />
34 teams of intermediate<br />
and high school students<br />
at the meeting on Saturday<br />
at KartSport racetrack in<br />
Halswell.<br />
“Last year Corey won the<br />
overall performance winner<br />
trophy in the standard kart<br />
category and the engineering<br />
excellence and innovation<br />
trophy,” said his mother,<br />
Janette Griffiths.<br />
“He was later deemed to be<br />
the New Zealand winner of the<br />
drag race in his category.”<br />
Students have worked on<br />
building race-worthy karts<br />
throughout the year at a series<br />
of workshops run by EVolocity.<br />
Griffiths said Corey had been<br />
to a welding workshop at Ara<br />
Institute of Canterbury, and a<br />
arnuino workshop and a 3D<br />
modelling software workshop<br />
at Canterbury University.<br />
“He even got to attend a tour<br />
of Kea Aerospace, giving a taste<br />
of exciting career opportunities<br />
in the field,” she said.<br />

Property<br />
sellers<br />
pocket<br />
extra<br />
$200k<br />
• By Nikki Preston<br />
TWO VENDORS pocketed an<br />
extra $200,000-plus each after<br />
the brought-forward auctions<br />
for their houses shattered their<br />
expectations, selling way over the<br />
reserves.<br />
The Avonhead and Merivale<br />
properties had acceptable preauction<br />
offers made on them<br />
within a week of going to market<br />
and within two weeks both<br />
had sold under the hammer for<br />
hundreds of thousands of dollars<br />
more after heated bidding.<br />
A luxury four-bedroom, twobathroom<br />
home on Aikmans Rd<br />
in Merivale had a pre-auction<br />
offer of $2 million after just one<br />
open home. The offer was accepted<br />
and the auction was brought<br />
forward to Thursday.<br />
But the keen buyer found themselves<br />
up against tough competition,<br />
and after 11 bids of at least<br />
$10,000 each, the property was<br />
bought for $2.35m by someone<br />
else.<br />
Bayleys listing agent Belinda<br />
Ellis said the vendor was “over<br />
the moon” after walking away<br />
with $235,000 more than what<br />
they had been prepared to take.<br />
They had purchased the property<br />
in <strong>October</strong> 20<strong>19</strong> for $1.465m,<br />

ADDRESSING sexual violence<br />
and protecting penguins has<br />
earned two young women national<br />
awards.<br />
Former Christchurch Girls’<br />
High student Hawwa Niyaz, 18,<br />
won the $1000 innovation prize<br />
at the national GirlBoss awards in<br />
Auckland last week, while Lucy<br />
Butterfield, 14, from St Margaret’s<br />
College took out the science,<br />
technology, engineering and maths<br />
title.<br />
Hawwa was a co-lead and<br />
advocate for Students Against<br />
Sexual Harm. She also founded the<br />
Beautiful Light Nurzainah Charitable<br />
Trust, which promotes better<br />
relationships between students and<br />
supports those who have suffered<br />
harm.<br />
“Advocating for connection<br />
and support and discussing these<br />
projects is really important to me.<br />
I have been working on this for<br />
about two years,” said Hawwa.<br />
“I believe the world can change<br />
through understanding intergenerational<br />
trauma, supporting<br />
students who are victims of sexual<br />
and hate crimes, and becoming<br />
open-minded to different educational<br />
avenues.”<br />
Hawwa helped get a report on<br />
sexual harm at CGHS released last<br />
year. It found more than a quarter<br />
of students had been sexually harassed<br />
with 20 saying they had been<br />
raped. The report inspired the<br />

penguin colonies on the Akaroa<br />
waterfront.<br />
“I have 35 traps in Akaroa<br />
Harbour, which can only be<br />
accessed by boat. These traps are<br />
set up to prevent predation,” said<br />
Lucy.<br />
“I’ve been passionate about<br />
birds since I was young. For my<br />
10th birthday, I did a tour of the<br />
colonies and noticed the penguins<br />
needed help,” she said.<br />
“Predators have a massive effect<br />
on wildlife and the penguin<br />
population, which has grown again<br />
since we started the project.”<br />
Lucy volunteers with her father<br />
Matt and has worked with the<br />
penguins for about three years.<br />
“Receiving this award was so<br />
cool, as the work is all volunteer<br />
and, after a long time, it is nice to<br />
have been recognised,” she said.<br />
“The award means that<br />
hopefully, I can raise more<br />
awareness for these penguins.”<br />
Lucy also won $1000 with her<br />
STEM award and hopes to use it to<br />
expand her trap lines and get the<br />
community involved.<br />
Hawwa and Lucy were joined by<br />

Due to unforeseen circumstances we had to sell a property at a time when<br />
the market was not favorable. It is times like that where an agent with<br />
Cameron’s experience and expertise is worth their salt. Unphased by what the<br />
market was doing, Cameron provided us with a realistic (and ultimately very<br />
accurate) expectations about what we might expect price wise, and he gave<br />
sage advice on how we were best to achieve a sale.<br />
There is no BS with Cameron - he and his team just focus on getting<br />
the job done. It is no accident that he is the number one agent at<br />

Festival<br />
of flowers<br />
returns<br />
WIGRAM LIONS Club and<br />
primary schools are getting creative<br />
again with the return of the 6th<br />
annual Festival of Flowers.<br />
The festival, which will be held at<br />
South Hornby School on <strong>October</strong><br />
28 from 10am to 3pm, is a display<br />
of arts and crafts with plants and<br />
flowers.<br />
“About a thousand year 1 to year 8<br />
students from Gilberthorpe Primary,<br />
St Bernadettes Primary, Hornby<br />
Primary, South Hornby Primary<br />
and Hornby High School have had<br />
the opportunity to take part,” said<br />
organiser Syd Horgan.<br />
The students have worked on their<br />
entries since March, in 14 sections<br />
ranging from everlasting sand saucers<br />
to students’ photos of flowers<br />
and gardens.<br />
The funds raised from the Festival<br />
of Flowers will support children<br />
attending Camp Quality at Living<br />
Springs in January 2024.<br />
“Camp Quality brings fun, hope<br />
and happiness into the lives of<br />
children living with cancer, inspiring<br />
them to get on with being kids<br />
again,” said Horgan.<br />
Hamper tickets will be sold for $2<br />
and the winners will be drawn at<br />
2.30pm. Entry on the day is a gold<br />
coin donation.<br />

Homes sold at auction more<br />
likely to sell for record prices<br />
PLEASANTLY SURPRISED: Both the modern Merivale home (left) and the Avonhead property sold for $200,000-plus<br />
more than the vendors initially expected.<br />
• From page 1<br />
Said Ellis: “It just enables them<br />
to make some other decision<br />
and opens up their next move<br />
considerably. It was fabulous.”<br />
There were three registered<br />
bidders, but only two were active.<br />
“They were very motivated to<br />
get something.”<br />
She said the property attracted<br />
locals looking for a contemporary<br />
base in Merivale with its<br />
striking exterior of a black and<br />
cedar finish.<br />
Ellis, who had sold the Aikmans<br />
Rd property four years<br />
ago to the vendors, said they had<br />
improved an already exceptional<br />
home by adding an outdoor<br />
louvre system and the gardens<br />
had also been established in that<br />
time.<br />
In the past few months, there<br />
has been a rise in the number of<br />
auctions brought forward, but<br />
Ellis said few had sold for that<br />
much more than the reserve.<br />
It didn’t always come down to<br />
how many bidders there were,<br />
she said, but more their level of<br />
motivation and how much they<br />
wanted the property.<br />
Ellis said they now needed to<br />
find a similar property for the<br />
underbidders who missed out.<br />
The other auction brought<br />
forward for a family home on<br />
Abingdon Court in Avonhead<br />
opened and was announced on<br />
the market at $948,500.<br />
But with nine registered bidders<br />
and three buyers battling it<br />
out until the end, it finally sold<br />
for $1.165m.<br />
Harcourts Grenadier salesperson<br />
Andrew Steele said the<br />
vendor was in Croatia at the<br />
time and had been asleep while<br />
the auction was on, so had been<br />
“absolutely ecstatic” when he<br />
woke up to the good news.<br />
“He was very surprised, and<br />
pleasantly surprised at the extra<br />
amount achieved.”<br />
Steele said there was a lot of<br />
demand for the home, mainly<br />
from families looking to upsize<br />
and to get into the school zones.<br />
“The property had potential to<br />
add value to it and I just think<br />
that price point in that market<br />
there seems to be a bit of heat<br />
on.”<br />
Steele believed taking it to<br />
auction helped achieve an<br />
“exceptional result” and he did<br />
not think they would have got<br />
the same price using another<br />
method of sale.<br />
“I always say if you are going<br />
to get a record price, it’s the auction<br />
process that will achieve it,<br />
and that was a classic example of<br />
that happening.”<br />

BIGGER AND<br />
BETTER: Corey<br />
Griffiths has<br />
worked on<br />
building his<br />
race-worthy kart<br />
throughout the<br />
year at a series of<br />
EVolocity-arranged<br />
events.<br />
Bright future ahead<br />
• From page 1<br />
Said Corey: “I’m quite nervous about<br />
the final as I still need to finish the<br />
steering this week. Once that’s done I’ll<br />
be relieved.”<br />
EVolocity co-ordinator Susan Siu<br />
Grobler said the event was an important<br />
one for students.<br />
“This event is the pinnacle of the students’<br />
hard work as they can see results,<br />
experience competition and get ideas<br />
from other students’ creations.”<br />
The race day will feature three different<br />
types of race; a 100m drag race based<br />
on speed, a gymkhana where karts and<br />
students will have to go around, over and<br />
through obstacles, and a 2-3km endurance<br />
race where each lap is counted.<br />
Each kart will also be judged in four<br />
‘special’ categories; engineering and design,<br />
electronic innovation, showstopper,<br />
and earth care.<br />
“Electronics is Corey’s passion. Last<br />
year he received the Best in Class Excellence<br />
award for electronics, so having<br />
the opportunity to put his skills to use<br />
in EVolocity has been amazing,” said<br />
Griffiths.<br />
“He has loved the process of building<br />
and improving the kart and is very<br />
grateful to Mr Creighton whose hard<br />
work and dedication have made it possible<br />
for Corey and the other teams to be<br />
part of EVolocity.”<br />
EVolocity is a not-for-profit charitable<br />
organisation that tutors students in<br />
STEM – science, technology, engineering<br />
and mathematics – all over the country.<br />
Students from Avonside Girls High,<br />
Hagley College, Hillmorton High,<br />
Hornby High, Hurunui College, Rangiora<br />
New Life, Riccarton High School,<br />
Roncalli College and St Thomas of Canterbury<br />
will compete alongside Corey,<br />
showcasing their hand-built electric<br />
vehicles at Kartsport race track.<br />
At the event there will be opportunities<br />
to meet and chat with Canterbury<br />
University’s Formula SAE electric race<br />
car team and to test drive a Melo Yelo<br />
e-bike. Food and drinks will be available<br />
on the day.<br />

Brachycephalics<br />
and their airways<br />
Dogs evolved more than 40 million<br />
years ago.<br />
Around 150-200 years ago, the concept of<br />
“breed” as we know it today was invented.<br />
Due to the popularity of showing and<br />
breeding in the early <strong>19</strong>00’s, there was<br />
a need to create a spectrum of diverse<br />
breeds. The modern domestic dog became<br />
mans greatest genetic experiment - in<br />
some cases genetic triumph, in others<br />
genetic disaster.<br />
Health and welfare concerns about<br />
Brachycephalic dogs has become an<br />
increasingly high profile and contentious<br />
topic among the veterinary profession<br />
over recent years. There is no doubt these<br />
dogs have fabulous personalities and<br />
the popularity of this cherished breed is<br />
on the rise, but these dogs are strongly<br />
predisposed to a range of disorders due to<br />
their conformation. The most concerning<br />
is respiratory disease but they also get<br />
spinal disease, eye diseases, dystocia and<br />
heat stroke. It has been reported they live<br />
significantly shorter lifespans compared to<br />
non- Brachycephalic dogs.<br />
Brachycephalic breeds have a shorter wider<br />
skull, which leads to a narrow nasal passage<br />
and altered pharyngeal anatomy. Pugs<br />
and English bulldogs can have a dorsal<br />
rotation of the maxillary bone (upper<br />
jaw). Breathing is just really difficult, they<br />
are often snorers from a young age and<br />
exercising becomes an effort. If severe<br />
enough, these dogs will collapse, especially<br />
after a bout of over activity, excitement or<br />
excessive heat. Some dogs will gag, retch<br />
or reverse sneeze due to choking on their<br />
overly long soft palate. Regurgitation of<br />
food is common and this can be what<br />
they are seen for first. This can lead to<br />
bronchopneumonia.<br />
Diagnosis of elongated soft palate, tonsil<br />
enlargement and laryngeal collapse can<br />
only be made visually under carefully<br />
managed anaesthesia. Stenotic nostrils can<br />
be observed on physical exam.<br />

home<br />
before<br />
her<br />
exciting<br />
day at<br />
the vets<br />
Steve Heap<br />
performing soft<br />
palate shortening<br />
From all accounts Posh is experiencing no<br />
exercise intolerance, is a snorer though but<br />
healthy otherwise. Early surgical correction<br />
of this condition is advised before<br />
secondary changes develop in the airways,<br />
causing severe breathing issues that<br />
become irreversible, affecting her quality of<br />
life and exercise ability.<br />
The finished product - an open<br />
unobstructed airway<br />
We take extra precautions with the<br />
anaesthetic and drugs used because<br />
of her breed. Posh only had her palate<br />
shortened as her nostrils were of good<br />
width ( which is unusual for this breed).<br />
Posh breezed through her spey and palate<br />
surgery, waking up uneventfully, looking<br />
comfortable and settled.<br />
Recent studies have shown that 90% of<br />
BOAS dogs are significantly improved with<br />
surgery. If treatment is undertaken early<br />
before we see laryngeal collapse, these<br />
dogs can enjoy exercise and play without<br />
shortness of breath.<br />
Recently we had the pleasure of meeting<br />
“ Posh”, a much loved 7 month old French<br />
Bulldog. Posh was admitted for her<br />
desexing procedure and BOAS surgery<br />
with Dr Steve Heap ( BOAS is a combination<br />
or narrow nostrils and an overly long soft<br />
palate at the back of the throat) because<br />
she’s a breed to go on and develop severe<br />
respiratory disease later in life.<br />

Principals Note<br />
Kia ora koutou and warm greetings to families and<br />
friends of Burnside High School.<br />
As we start the last term of <strong>2023</strong><br />
I want to take this opportunity<br />
to pass on my thanks and<br />
acknowledgements for the warm<br />
welcome that I received from The<br />
Burnside High School community.<br />
I feel very privileged to have been<br />
given the opportunity and the<br />
responsibility of working with you.<br />
The transition to Burnside High<br />
School has been smooth and I am<br />
very grateful for the support of<br />
the Senior Leadership Team and<br />
staff.<br />
Focus for the Term<br />
Burnside High School is already<br />
a high performing school. It has been led well, it is achieving well,<br />
and it is a school in good heart with an excellent reputation. A<br />
platform of success therefore does not need to be built, but built<br />
upon.<br />
I am really looking forward to working with our staff, students<br />
and our parent community to build on this platform of success<br />
together. Together we will create a culture where our students are<br />
at the centre of everything that we do. A culture where we won’t<br />
rest until every student in our care is engaged and achieving.<br />
Every student, every day in every class deserves our best effort<br />
and we will strive to make sure that we live up to this expectation.<br />
My focus for term 3 was to connect with students, staff and<br />
families. I have enjoyed getting out and about in the grounds<br />
and in the classrooms to meet our students, as well as meeting<br />
parents and caregivers at PTA meetings, parent-teacher<br />
interviews and subject selection evenings.<br />
We now move in to a very busy Term 4 and I look forward to<br />
celebrating the successes of our young people at the various<br />
award ceremonies coming up.<br />
Ngā mihi mahana,<br />

Hei Hei hub reaches fundraising goal<br />
• By Sasha Watson<br />
THREE YEARS ago, the Hei<br />
Hei Broomfield Community<br />
Development Trust needed to<br />
raise $250,000 to renovate its 126<br />
On The Corner building.<br />
But the cost blew out to<br />
$350,000 because of inflation.<br />
That didn’t deter the<br />
community group, which<br />
continued its fundraising with<br />
a high tea, getting it over the<br />
magic number needed.<br />
“I don’t think we’ll be doing<br />
any more fundraisers for a while,<br />
but we will hold an opening<br />
evening for the building, as well<br />
as hopefully a Christmas gettogether,”<br />
said trust co-ordinator<br />
Tracey Buunk.<br />
“We started fundraising<br />
about three years ago and we<br />
were struggling with the funds.<br />
Inflation drove prices up and<br />
there were a few roadblocks<br />
along the way.<br />
“It’s exciting to see the<br />
progress. We can now afford<br />
the extra amenities we need like<br />
SUCCESS: 126 On The Corner has sourced all necessary funding, including a $5000 donation from Hornby Rotary Club.<br />
power points. This will also be<br />
the first time the property has<br />
actually had tapped hot water<br />
running.”<br />
The trust has received several<br />
grants including from the city<br />
council, Hornby Rotary Club<br />
and Lotteries Commission.<br />
It also held many sausage<br />
sizzles, high teas and sold raffles.<br />
Buunk said the building<br />
has ‘taken shape’ with the<br />
construction of the kitchen and<br />
toilet block about three-quarters<br />
of the way through. It will be<br />
finished at the end of November.<br />
“We’ve got the walls up,<br />
though not the cladding yet, and<br />
last week Tuesday the roof and<br />
tin went up too,” she said.<br />
“We are thankful to Kitchen<br />
Express for allowing us to<br />
build the kitchen without them<br />
requiring a deposit. I cried when<br />
I was told. We have had some big<br />
donations like a big fridge to go<br />
in our storage room.<br />
“Without the help of our<br />
amazing community, especially<br />
those who didn’t have a lot, and<br />
our supporters, funders, helpers<br />
and many others, none of this<br />
would have happened.”<br />
126 On The Corner is a hub<br />
that hosts activities for the<br />
community, such as cooking,<br />
crafts, outings, walking group,<br />
tai chi, men’s group, monthly<br />
community lunches, tea and<br />
more.<br />

Volunteering is a ‘full-time job’ for some<br />
BUSY:<br />
Wayne<br />
Carey<br />
gathers<br />
pinecones<br />
to sell, and<br />
collects<br />
the funds<br />
to give to<br />
charities<br />
like<br />
Ronald<br />
McDonald<br />
House<br />
and St<br />
Vincent<br />
de Paul.<br />
• By Sasha Watson<br />
WAYNE CAREY does not let<br />
his health dictate his love for<br />
supporting the community.<br />
The 56-year-old has been<br />
involved with community activities<br />
for the last 18 months after<br />
he and his wife Vickie moved to<br />
Christchurch from Blenheim.<br />
On Saturday, Carey will be<br />
hosting a sausage sizzle at Mega<br />
Mitre10 Hornby (9am to 1pm) to<br />
raise funds for Ronald McDonald<br />
House.<br />
“This is my first sausage sizzle<br />
ever, so I hope it brings forward<br />
heaps of people,” he said.<br />
“Illness has affected my life in<br />
many different ways – some days<br />
I struggle.”<br />
Carey was a bus driver in Blenheim<br />
for several years and said<br />
he ‘loved it’.<br />
“But a few ago, I was diagnosed<br />
with several health issues,<br />
and needed to stop doing what I<br />
loved,” said Carey.<br />
“I have hearing loss from a<br />
surgery gone wrong, which led<br />
to balance problems. I also have<br />
concussion syndrome from<br />
sporting accidents and osteoarthritis<br />
and I get tired very easily.”<br />
Carey spends four hours a<br />
day when he is<br />
able, collecting<br />
pinecones to sell<br />
alongside fundraisers,<br />
to which<br />
he donates the<br />
money to Ronald<br />
McDonald House<br />
Wayne<br />
Carey<br />
and St Vicent de<br />
Paul.<br />
He has also<br />
worked alongside<br />
Wigram’s Megan Woods, giving<br />
out flyers and door-knocking.<br />
“I wanted to give back to<br />
organisations who have helped<br />
me through difficult times,” said<br />
Carey.<br />
“I can’t explain the feeling it<br />
gives me to be able to do something<br />
good. I feel grateful and<br />
humbled and I don’t expect to<br />
get anything in return. It’s like a<br />
full-time job now.”<br />
Carey has been involved in<br />
many community-led projects<br />
such as 126 On the Corner and<br />
the Greater Hornby Residents<br />
Association’s new hydrotherapy<br />
pool.<br />
“These projects will keep me<br />
going until Christmas, and then<br />
I’ll get stuck back into pinecone<br />
collecting. I have about nine<br />
regular customers so I’m kept<br />
busy,” said Carey.<br />
“I also have help from a young<br />
man once a week. He absolutely<br />
loves it, and always gives me a<br />
handshake or a hug after we’ve<br />
finished for the day,” he said.<br />
“Fundraising is one way to<br />
take away some stress for those<br />
with health issues. For people<br />
who don’t think there’s anything<br />
out there for them to do: There<br />
is.”<br />

Chinese inspired creations<br />
SAM LOW is known for three<br />
things – winning New Zealand’s<br />
MasterChef last year, making<br />
award-winning coffee and<br />
going viral on social media for<br />
re-plating his quarantine room<br />
service.<br />
Now he can add cookbook<br />
author to that list with the<br />
release of Modern Chinese,<br />
Low’s attempt to demystify<br />
modern Chinese cooking with<br />
accessible, easy recipes made<br />
from ingredients from the<br />
supermarket.<br />
Low, born in Fiji, moved to<br />
New Zealand when he was 8<br />
years old. His parents bought<br />
a dairy, and later took over a<br />
takeaway outlet.<br />
This was where Low got his<br />
first taste of commercial food<br />
production, starting out on the<br />
Microwave Milo Cakes<br />
Makes 1 big portion<br />
Ingredients<br />
2 Tbsp flour<br />
⅛ tsp baking soda<br />
Pinch of salt<br />
3 Tbsp Milo or malt drink or hot<br />
chocolate powder<br />
1½Tbsp brown sugar (or any<br />
sugar)<br />
1 egg<br />
15g butter or coconut oil, melted<br />
+ Ice cream or whipped or<br />
pouring cream to serve<br />
wok station when he was 15.<br />
He soon realised he had an<br />
affinity for food and attended<br />
hospitality classes, worked<br />
part-time at Auckland Seafood<br />
School and completed a food<br />
and beverage apprenticeship at<br />
SkyCity.<br />
After winning the New<br />
Zealand Barista Championship<br />
in 2016, Low turned to his<br />
passion for sharing chinese<br />
dishes on social media.<br />
While Low grew up eating<br />
Cantonese food, he started to<br />
explore the diversity of regional<br />
Chinese cuisine as it arrived in<br />
New Zealand. He said Sichuan<br />
cuisine has probably had the<br />
most impact on the way he cooks<br />
and the recipes in his new book –<br />
Modern Chinese.<br />
– ODT<br />
Method<br />
• In a small bowl, mix all the<br />
ingredients until well combined.<br />
• Pour the batter into a<br />
medium-sized microwave-proof<br />
bowl or large mug. The bowl/<br />
mug should be only half full.<br />
Microwave, uncovered, for 60-<br />
90 seconds depending on the<br />
strength of your microwave.<br />
• When cooked, the cake<br />
should double in height. Serve<br />
with your favourite ice cream,<br />
whipped cream or pouring<br />
cream for one of the quickest<br />
cake desserts ever.<br />
Steamed Salmon in<br />
Chilli Bean Sauce<br />
Serves 2-4 as a side with rice<br />
Ingredients<br />
600g-800g pin-boned, skin-on<br />
salmon fillets<br />
2 Tbsp Shaoxing or any aromatic<br />
rice wine<br />
½ tsp salt<br />
30g fresh ginger, sliced<br />
Chilli sauce<br />
3 Tbsp oil<br />
1 Tbsp preserved black bean<br />
2 Tbsp Sichuan chilli bean paste<br />
(doubanjiang) or sriracha or<br />
your favourite chilli sauce<br />
30g fresh ginger, finely chopped<br />
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped<br />
100ml water<br />
1 Tbsp light soy sauce<br />
2 tsp sugar<br />
2 Tbsp black vinegar<br />
Salt to taste<br />
1½ Tbsp cornflour mixed with<br />
3 tablespoons water to make a<br />
thickening slurry<br />
Small handful of coriander,<br />
chopped, to garnish (optional)<br />
Method<br />
• For the fish, prepare a<br />
steamer with a lid over a wok or<br />
a large pot with at least 2 litres of<br />
boiling water. Rub the rice wine<br />
and salt over salmon fillets and<br />
lay them on the dish skin-side<br />
down. Top with the ginger slices.<br />
• Steam the fish for 15-20<br />
minutes until cooked. Use a<br />
chopstick to poke through the<br />
flesh at the thickest point; if<br />
there’s resistance, steam for a<br />
little longer. Once the fish is<br />
cooked, remove the sliced ginger<br />
and turn off the steamer but let it<br />
sit in the residual heat so the fish<br />
stays hot.<br />
• For the chilli sauce, place<br />
the oil, black bean and chilli<br />
bean paste in a wok or medium<br />
pan and cook over a high heat,<br />
constantly moving it around to<br />
prevent burning, until fragrant<br />
(about a minute). Add the ginger<br />
and garlic and fry for another<br />
minute. Add in the water plus<br />
the cooking liquid from the<br />
steamed fillets (hold the fish in<br />
place with chopsticks and tilt<br />
the juices from the dish into the<br />
wok/pan). Add in the soy sauce,<br />
sugar and black vinegar. Bring to<br />
a simmer for 1 minute and taste.<br />
Add salt if required.<br />
• Reduce the heat to medium.<br />
Slowly stir in as much of the<br />
slurry as needed to reach your<br />
desired consistency — it should<br />
resemble a thick pouring gravy.<br />
Turn off the heat.<br />
• Pour the sauce over the top of<br />
the fish. Garnish with coriander,<br />
if desired.<br />

Suzuki Vitara Hybrid lively and effortless<br />
DESPITE BEING offered in<br />
Europe, the UK and Japan<br />
for the last five years, Hybrid<br />
versions of Suzuki’s SUV range<br />
have just made to this side of the<br />
automotive globe.<br />
It’s a case of better late than<br />
never. The government’s clean<br />
car fee and rebate scheme<br />
have no doubt played a part in<br />
Suzuki’s decision to offer a hybrid<br />
version of their popular Vitara<br />
here earlier this year. Ironically,<br />
the arrival in July of tougher<br />
thresholds to qualify for a rebate<br />
Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />
meant most hybrids, including<br />
the Vitara, no longer qualified for<br />
a rebate. Even worse, some not-so<br />
squeaky-green hybrid credentials<br />
cop a clean car fee.<br />
Three petrol/electric “mild”<br />
Hybrids are available for our<br />
market including a rangetopping<br />
all-wheel drive. Suzuki<br />
claim the Vitara Hybrid Turbo<br />
is at least 15 per cent more<br />
economical than its non-Hybrid<br />
Vitara siblings. It will help us all<br />
breathe a little easier with up to<br />
18 per cent lower CO2 emissions.<br />
Prices start at $39,990<br />
for the Hybrid JX 2WD<br />
manual, with the auto<br />
retailing for $41,990.<br />
Rounding at the range is<br />
the $44,990 JLX AWD<br />
auto that was fronted<br />
for this road test. Some<br />
customisation is offered<br />
with two-tone body<br />
colours as an $800 option.<br />
Suzuki has developed a simple,<br />
light, compact and affordable<br />
Hybrid system comprising an<br />
integrated starter generator,<br />
engine control module, and<br />
an auxiliary power module.<br />
This incorporates a lithium-ion<br />
battery and sensors and a DC/<br />
DC (48 volt to 12 volt) power<br />
converter.<br />
In its new hybridised state, the<br />
motor produces 95kW of power<br />
at 5,500rpm and the maximum<br />
torque of 235Nm at 2,000 to<br />
3,000rpm, up 6.8 per cent<br />
compared to the standard Vitara.<br />
Peak torque inches up by 15Nm.<br />
In spite of the improvement<br />
in fuel consumption and less<br />
emissions, the Hybrid Turbo<br />
retains the lively performance<br />
that helped the Vitara build a<br />
large fan base here. What makes<br />
this engine a real champion is<br />
the 235Nm of torque that is ready<br />
for action from just 1500rpm.<br />
This good mid-range throttle<br />
response makes it one of the most<br />
effortless drives you will find in<br />
a compact urban SUV in this<br />
price bracket. A quick, accurate,<br />
and sweet shifting six-speed<br />
automatic is a very agreeable<br />
Ratings out of 10: Performance 7; Handling 7; Build<br />
Quality 6; Comfort 7; Passenger and Load Space 5; Avg fuel<br />
consumption on road test 6.1L/100km; Value for money 6;<br />
Safety – Five Star ANCAP crash rating. Clean car fee neutral.<br />
Overall points out of 10: 7<br />
gear-changing device and a good<br />
match to the hybrid engine.<br />
There isn’t an abundance of<br />
usable passenger space in a cabin<br />
that always seems a bit tight<br />
and light on headroom for taller<br />
types. One redeeming feature is<br />
the 60/40 split folding rear seat<br />
allowing you to maximise the<br />
limited rear hatch cargo area. An<br />
unexpected bonus is a cleverly<br />
concealed floor in the rear hatch<br />
compartment, perfect for keeping<br />
valuables out of sight of potential<br />
thieves.<br />
The cabin is an obvious area<br />
where the Vitara is showing its<br />
age, and with an eight-year-old<br />
vehicle that’s difficult to disguise.<br />
The test car was let down on<br />
quality by plenty of hard plastic<br />
surfaces throughout the cabin.<br />
It needs to be better, given its<br />
$44,995 asking price.<br />
One of the biggest and<br />
most welcome changes is the<br />
introduction of a range of<br />
new safety technology that<br />
is instrumental in lifting the<br />
Vitara’s safety game a good notch<br />
or two. Heading an extensive<br />
list of worthwhile safety tech<br />
is rear cross traffic alert, blind<br />
spot monitoring, lane departure<br />
warning and adaptive cruise<br />
control.<br />
Handling feels more composed<br />
and planted on the road than<br />
any Vitara I have driven. For a<br />
smallish SUV, the ride is supple<br />
enough, although the suspension<br />
can get a bit vocal over high<br />
frequency bumps in lower speed<br />
urban driving. In the final wash<br />
up, the Hungarian-made Vitara<br />
turbo hybrid is an enjoyable<br />
drive; versatile and with AWD<br />
well suited to out gnarly roads<br />
and weather. On the downside,<br />
fuel economy isn’t much better<br />
than the turbo motor model,<br />
making it hard to justify the<br />
hybrid variant’s premium<br />
pricing.<br />
