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 />

microscope to perform these very delicate<br />

surgeries.<br />

Leaders in Learning<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 />

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 />
