Fast-track to success<br />

• By Sasha Watson<br />

ANTHONY KUTOVOY is<br />

weeks away from the next step<br />

in a promising future in speed<br />

skating.<br />

The St Andrew’s College year<br />

11 student will compete in the<br />

junior world cup speed skating<br />

series in the Netherlands in late<br />

November and early December.<br />

After winning the national<br />

title for the sub junior men<br />

(under 15) division at the New<br />

Zealand open short track<br />

championship in Dunedin in<br />

September, he gained entry to<br />

the first two junior world cups.<br />

At these competitions, he will<br />

be seeking to qualify for a third<br />

junior world cup and the junior<br />

world championship, held in<br />

February 2024.<br />

“At the Dunedin competition,<br />

I also set a new record in the<br />

1000m distance for my age<br />

group,” said Anthony.<br />

“Since I’ve started skating,<br />

I have improved a lot . . . as<br />

well as being the New Zealand<br />

champion for my age group.”<br />

The 15-year-old is part of<br />

the Canterbury Alpine Ice<br />

Skating Club. He has been<br />

skating since 2019, originally<br />

for the Mainland Ice Racing<br />

Club before transferring to<br />

Canterbury Alpine in 2021.<br />

Said the Parklands resident:<br />

“One of the things that caught<br />

my eye with short track is the<br />

competitiveness and adrenaline<br />

of trying to hit your top speed<br />

and push your boundaries.<br />

“All while having to try to<br />

pass and block other skaters. I<br />

love skating because you get to<br />

CARVING OUT A FUTURE: Anthony Kutovoy (right) will compete in the junior world<br />

cup speed skating series in the Netherlands in late November and early December.<br />

compete overseas against other,<br />

like-minded people whose goal<br />

is like mine – to be the best version<br />

of myself.”<br />

Anthony said he is training<br />

six times a week with<br />

Canterbury Alpine coach Ben<br />

Whiteside.<br />

The first junior world cup<br />

is from November <strong>26</strong> to<br />

27. Anthony and his coach<br />

have self-funded flights for<br />

November 18, to train in<br />

the Netherlands for a week<br />

beforehand.<br />

“It is very hard to train in<br />

New Zealand with the very<br />

limited ice time and old equipment,”<br />

said Anthony.<br />

“(Speed skating) is very<br />

competitive and requires a lot of<br />

training and self-improvement,<br />

which results in a healthy<br />

lifestyle.”<br />

New<br />

structure<br />

for red<br />

zone<br />

projects<br />

THE ŌTĀKARO Avon River<br />

Corridor co-governance<br />

establishment committee has<br />

adopted a new framework to<br />

assess any city council-led<br />

projects planned for the former<br />

residential red zone.<br />

Co-chairs Te<br />

Maire Tau and<br />

Lianne Dalziel said<br />

the new assessment<br />

framework will be<br />

used as a sounding<br />

board for future<br />

projects.<br />

“The framework<br />

covers factors such<br />

as climate change<br />

resilience, ecological<br />

improvements,<br />

innovation and the<br />

ability to practice<br />

mahinga kai,” the<br />

co-chairs said.<br />

“As well as being<br />

a measuring stick<br />

Te Maire<br />

Tau<br />

Lianne<br />

Dalziel<br />

for us to determine the merits of<br />

council-led projects, the new assessment<br />

framework also be used<br />

by anyone proposing projects in<br />

the ‘activity areas’ of the OARC,<br />

where non-council-led projects<br />

can occur.<br />

“Our overwhelming interest is<br />

to ensure we return the area to its<br />

original state, so we can prepare<br />

ourselves for climate change and<br />

mitigate the flooding risk to the<br />

city. • Turn to page 7<br />

Community groups ‘grateful’<br />

for city council support<br />

WALKING DOWN Merivale’s<br />

Church Lane on a Tuesday<br />

morning, you might hear music<br />

and laughter coming from the<br />

All Souls Church.<br />

That’s the sound of the ukulele<br />

session at The Corner, when<br />

a group of musicians gather<br />

weekly to play their instruments<br />

together and enjoy each other’s<br />

company.<br />

Every third Thursday,<br />

you’ll find 96-year-old Diana<br />

Satterthwaite at The Corner.<br />

Diana hosts morning tea and<br />

leads a group that knit and sew<br />

blankets that are then donated<br />

to those in need.<br />

Co-ordinator Frankie Roake<br />

says these groups are two of the<br />

many enjoyed at The Corner, a<br />

community hub offering a place<br />

for locals to meet for fun and<br />

companionship.<br />

The Corner has a busy<br />

timetable of crafts, boardgames,<br />

exercise, dance, books, films,<br />

guest speakers on a variety of<br />

topics, bi-monthly weekday<br />

outings and a weekend social<br />

event once a month.<br />

Together, group members<br />

support other members who<br />

struggle with homelessness and<br />

mental health with clothing and<br />

other items.<br />

Members are typically older<br />

than 50, retired and single, but<br />

anyone is welcome to join and<br />

become part of the community.<br />

Roake says the group provides<br />

a place for people to find friendship<br />

and companionship outside<br />

of their home.<br />

“In today’s world, it’s easy<br />

for people to become isolated,<br />

particularly if they are not<br />

working, and they’ve lost<br />

friends and family as they<br />

become older.<br />

“This is a place where they can<br />

come for banter and to be part<br />

of an inclusive community. “<br />

The Corner is supported<br />

by the All Souls Church, who<br />

provide the space, and funding<br />

comes from the city council and<br />

lottery grants.<br />

The organisation is also<br />

supported by the city council’s<br />

Computers to the Community<br />

scheme, which Roake says is<br />

hugely helpful.<br />

The Corner has received free<br />

computers for office use, as well<br />

as a laptop that can be used by<br />

members of the community<br />

who need access to a computer,<br />

COMMUNITY: Diana<br />

Satterthwaite, 96, hosts craft<br />

mornings at The Corner<br />

every third Thursday.<br />

and for guest speakers to use.<br />

“It’s great to have computers<br />

available for people to use<br />

whenever they want, as well<br />

as myself and my colleague.<br />

We really are grateful for the<br />

scheme.”<br />

City council head of community<br />

support and partnerships<br />

John Filsell said the Computers<br />

to the Community scheme<br />

started in 2007 as a partnership<br />

between the city council’s community<br />

support unit and the<br />

information amd technology<br />

unit.<br />

The scheme is administered<br />

by the Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />

Harewood community governance<br />

team based at Fendalton<br />

Library.<br />

As part of the city council’s<br />

computer replacement programme,<br />

older model surplus<br />

staff laptops and desktops are<br />

repurposed and gifted to local<br />

not-for-profit community organisations.<br />

“We see this as a way to<br />

acknowledge the amazing<br />

efforts of local groups who work<br />

hard to help build strong and<br />

inclusive communities, like The<br />

Corner.”<br />

Approximately 400 devices<br />

are donated each year to a<br />

wide range of groups across<br />

the city. These groups include<br />

local sports clubs, social<br />

service providers, heritage and<br />

environmental groups and<br />

multicultural organisations.<br />

Filsell said many groups<br />

struggle to compete for limited<br />

funding, and priority is given to<br />

key costs such as staff wages and<br />

programme costs.<br />

“Obtaining funding for<br />

computers is often difficult and<br />

feedback from the groups say<br />

that this scheme has been a<br />

lifesaver.”<br />

Filsell said the scheme was<br />

particularly useful following the<br />

September 2010 and February<br />

22, 2011 earthquakes as a<br />

number of not-for-profit groups<br />

required replacement computer<br />

equipment, as theirs had<br />

either been damaged or were<br />

inaccessible due to their offices<br />

being located in the central city.<br />

It was also heavily relied on<br />

during Covid with isolation and<br />

many groups needing devices<br />

for staff working from home.<br />

“We have also been able to<br />

give some of the older devices<br />

to help out Tonga, the Solomon<br />

Islands and Fiji following<br />

devastating natural disasters, as<br />

one-off donations and as part of<br />

relief and support already going<br />

to them,” he said.<br />

The scheme is open all<br />

year round and groups can<br />

download an application form<br />

on the city council’s website.<br />

City’s young creatives<br />

showcase their wares<br />

• By Sasha Watson<br />

THE KIND Foundation will be<br />

hosting its annual youth market,<br />

where young business owners,<br />

aged 13-25, can showcase their<br />

goods.<br />

There will be over 30 stalls<br />

at the market on Saturday, November<br />

4, from 10am to 2pm, at<br />

Oxford Terrace Auditorium.<br />

Said the Kind Foundation’s<br />

youth co-ordinator Brittany<br />

Mackie:<br />

“We have some incredible<br />

young entrepreneurs and creatives<br />

in our city and this market<br />

gives them a space to experience<br />

being stall-holders.<br />

“This is a unique opportunity<br />

for them to bring their businesses<br />

to the community.”<br />

Stalls will include items such<br />

as jewellery, art prints, clothing,<br />

baking, pottery, pounamu carvings,<br />

and plants.<br />

“We saw an awesome turnout<br />

at our last event with more than<br />

300 people from the community<br />

coming along to shop and<br />

support these local small businesses,”<br />

said Mackie.<br />

“We also had live music from<br />

a bunch of different bands which<br />

made for an awesome vibe –<br />

the music will be back at this<br />

market.”<br />

This event is run by young<br />

people as part of the Raise Up<br />

youth leadership programme,<br />

and thanks to funding from the<br />

foundation stallholders do not<br />

need to pay a fee.<br />

“This is so that we can minimise<br />

obstacles for young business<br />

owners,” said Mackie.<br />

Sixteen-year-old Burnside<br />

High School student Isabella<br />

Fenton went to the last market<br />

and said: “I enjoyed getting to<br />

express myself creatively around<br />

like-minded young people.”<br />

The secret lives<br />

of sheds revealed<br />

• By Sasha Watson<br />

THE FIRST shed tour<br />

in Canterbury, held by<br />

Rotary Ōtautahi Passport, will<br />

showcase crafters, collectors,<br />

classic car rebuilders, and more.<br />

The sheds are located all over,<br />

from Parklands, New Brighton,<br />

South Brighton to Lincoln,<br />

West Melton, Rolleston and<br />

Clarkville.<br />

“We were looking for ideas<br />

for a fundraiser that was fun,<br />

novel and different to other<br />

fundraisers,” said Rotary<br />

Ōtautahi Passport founding<br />

member Deb Gimblett.<br />

“The tour will be a self-drive<br />

excursion, from 9am-4pm on<br />

Saturday, November 4, and will<br />

cover 10-plus locations.<br />

Said Gimblett: “We have sheds<br />

for everyone;<br />

they are not<br />

just men’s<br />

sheds. Start<br />

early so you<br />

can take your<br />

time, choose<br />

the sheds that<br />

interest you<br />

and stop along<br />

the way for<br />

refreshments<br />

at two of the sites.”<br />

Deb<br />

Gimblett<br />

Tour tickets are $45 and all<br />

proceeds from the day will<br />

go to charities that encourage<br />

Guiding the way for young girls<br />

• By Sasha Watson<br />

CIARA GIBSON has just<br />

returned from representing New<br />

Zealand at an international Girl<br />

Guiding governance forum.<br />

Now, the 20-year-old<br />

Canterbury University student<br />

wants to see more girls step up to<br />

leadership positions.<br />

Gibson, who lives in Ilam,<br />

was selected as one of two New<br />

Zealand representatives at the<br />

38th World Association of Girl<br />

Guiding and Girl Scouting world<br />

conference in Cyprus.<br />

About 400 delegates from 106<br />

countries attended the event<br />

to discuss strategy, policy and<br />

leadership at a global level, elect<br />

new world board members<br />

and participate in a range of<br />

workshops.<br />

Gibson said the conference<br />

connected her with other people<br />

around the world who are<br />

passionate about empowering<br />

young women.<br />

“But I also learned young<br />

women can have much more<br />

of a voice on numerous issues<br />

and take advantage of a whole<br />

range of different opportunities<br />

compared to our peers in some<br />

other countries,” she said.<br />

“Guides has inspired me over<br />

the years and has offered me<br />

a wonderful chance to really<br />

challenge myself and to learn<br />

and grow.<br />

“I want to offer the same<br />

support and mentoring to other<br />

girls and young women who<br />

may want to become the leaders<br />

of tomorrow, or who may just<br />

want to have fun and enjoy new<br />

challenges with a great group of<br />

other girls in a safe space.”<br />

Gibson sits on the<br />

GirlGuiding NZ<br />

national board, as the young<br />

leader representative, and was<br />

a member of the national girl<br />

advisory group, which focuses<br />

on giving young women a voice<br />

within the organisation.<br />

She has also attained the<br />

Queen’s Guide award (the<br />

highest achievement in guiding)<br />

and has served as both a leader<br />

and co-ordinator for the central<br />

South Island region.<br />

“It sometimes takes guts<br />

to put your hand up and step<br />

out of your comfort zone, and<br />

that’s where I’ve been lucky as a<br />

Girl Guide,” she said.<br />

“It’s important for girls to see<br />

other girls in leadership positions<br />

and Guiding has been invaluable<br />

in that respect. The organisation<br />

GOING GLOBAL:<br />

Ciara Gibson<br />

was one of two<br />

New Zealand<br />

Girl Guide<br />

representatives<br />

at the world<br />

conference.<br />

has done so much to help me<br />

overcome those barriers and help<br />

me become a leader.”<br />

Gibson didn’t have to look<br />

far for inspiration to become<br />

a Girl Guide. Her mother and<br />

both of her grandmothers were<br />

Guides, and her father and both<br />

her grandfathers were involved<br />

in Scouting. She joined the<br />

organisation aged 7 as a Brownie.<br />

Her mum, Sharon, is still a<br />

Guide leader and her younger<br />

sister, Brianna, is also a leader.<br />

Established in 1908,<br />

GirlGuiding NZ offers a<br />

GirlGuiding NZ has<br />

partnered with Griffin’s<br />

again to bring the<br />

kiwi favourite choc<br />

guide biscuits back to<br />

supermarket shelves.<br />

While not being sold by<br />

Girl Guides, the biscuits will<br />

be available at Countdown,<br />

SuperValue and<br />

FreshChoice supermarkets<br />

for a limited time to raise<br />

funds for the organisation.<br />

non-competitive learning<br />

environment which is openminded<br />

and values-based.<br />

“It’s a supportive place to grow<br />

confident, adventurous girls<br />

who are ready to be tomorrow’s<br />

leaders,” said Gibson.<br />

“Given its strong focus on<br />

inclusivity, and given the<br />

challenges girls and young<br />

women face in today’s society,<br />

it’s a special place where girls<br />

and young women can learn<br />

new skills, create lifelong<br />

connections, and nurture<br />

personal growth and confidence.<br />

“There’s still much more we<br />

need to do at home to encourage<br />

young Kiwi women to step<br />

up. Our ‘tall poppy’ syndrome<br />

means we often still hold<br />

ourselves back.”<br />

OARC co-governance options investigated<br />

• From page 1<br />

“The early settlers referred to<br />

the eastern seaboard as a ‘delta’<br />

and Ngāi Tahu valued the area<br />

for mahinga kai. Both views<br />

are compatible and we must<br />

work together for the common<br />

good.”<br />

The co-governance<br />

establishment committee was<br />

established in August 2022 to<br />

make decisions around both<br />

permanent and transitional uses<br />

within the OARC regeneration<br />

area, and to investigate options<br />

for a permanent co-governance<br />

entity.<br />

Ngāi Tūāhuriri Upoko Dr<br />

Te Maire Tau and former<br />

Christchurch Mayor Lianne<br />

Dalziel co-chair the committee.<br />

In addition to Dr Tau, Ngāi<br />

Tūāhuriri appointed four<br />

members – Tania Wati, Dr John<br />

Reid, Thomas Hildebrand, and<br />

Tutehounuku Korako – to the<br />

committee.<br />

Community members of<br />

the committee include Hayley<br />

Guglietta, Dr Cynthia Roberts<br />

and Julyan Falloon. After last<br />

year’s local body elections,<br />

Councillor Kelly Barber was also<br />

appointed.<br />

The committee has also<br />

determined a shortlist of options<br />

for a permanent co-governance<br />

entity for the OARC. These<br />

options are being investigated in<br />

more detail before the committee<br />

makes a recommendation to the<br />

city council.<br />

It’s expected the permanent<br />

entity will replace the<br />

establishment committee<br />

sometime in 2024.<br />

Since its establishment, the<br />

committee has also gained<br />

an understanding of the city<br />

council’s wide programme of<br />

works and the opportunities that<br />

the OARC provides, approved<br />

the council’s community<br />

planting programme for the <strong>2023</strong><br />

season, and worked with thirdparty<br />

groups on their proposals<br />

to temporarily use the land.<br />

Punchy take-offs ensured with Tucson<br />

ADDING PLUG-IN hybrid<br />

technology means one of<br />

Hyundai’s best-selling SUVs,<br />

the mid-sized Tucson, is just a<br />

step removed from taking the<br />

inevitable full electrification<br />

plunge.<br />

With its bold looks, digital<br />

capabilities, and upgraded ride<br />

and handling, Hyundai expects<br />

this Tucson to add significantly<br />

to the more than 7 million sold<br />

globally since the original model<br />

was launched 19 years ago. For<br />

Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />

our market, the Tucson is only<br />

sold in short-wheel base form,<br />

while its cousin the Kia Sportage<br />

rides on a long-wheel base.<br />

The Tucson Hybrid comes<br />

in 2WD and AWD forms with<br />

the plug-in model exclusively<br />

AWD, and road tested here in<br />

top spec Elite guise. Power is<br />

distributed to the front and rear<br />

wheels depending on traction<br />

conditions, while the Terrain<br />

Mode selector maximizes power,<br />

torque and braking depending on<br />

the conditions you’re driving in.<br />

The Tucson plug-in hybrid<br />

isn’t cheap compared to many<br />

of its rivals with the entry-level<br />

version retailing for $83,990,<br />

with a $5000 premium on the<br />

more lavishly attired Elite. This<br />

pricing pushes it over the $80,000<br />

price cap to qualify for a $4000<br />

clean car rebate available until<br />

31 December, when the new<br />

government pulls the plug on<br />

the two-year-old clean vehicle<br />

scheme.<br />

A high tempo 195kW plug-in<br />

hybrid powertrain is strong and<br />

feisty with acceleration that<br />

bristles with sporty intent. It’s<br />

not just show – it’s got plenty of<br />

go too. A rich vein of torque and<br />

the extra kick of the fully charged<br />

battery pack, ensures punchy<br />

take-offs from standing starts,<br />

and purposeful pulling power<br />

for most driving situations.<br />

These attributes make light work<br />

of undulating roads and long<br />

energy draining uphill grinds.<br />

The plug-in has an all-electriconly<br />

range of up to 65km, similar<br />

to several rivals including the<br />

Mitsubishi Eclipse and Ford<br />

Escape. Both pack a much lighter<br />

performance punch than the<br />

heavy hitting Tucson PHEV’s<br />

195kW.<br />

For a model with glowing<br />

fuel economy credentials, the<br />

test car was disappointing. I<br />

knocked off a 500km roadie in<br />

it with four adults on board, on<br />

a trip covering some sections<br />

of hilly driving, and averaged<br />

Ratings out of 10: Performance 8; Handling 7; Build<br />

Quality 7; Comfort 7; Passenger and Load Space 7; Avg fuel<br />

consumption on road test 6.8L/100km; Value for money 6;<br />

Safety – Five Star ANCAP crash rating. No clean car fee.<br />

Overall points out of 10: 7.5<br />

7.3L/100km. That number is well<br />

north of the claimed 1.5L/100km.<br />

This might be doable in low<br />

speed town driving when the car<br />

can spend extended periods in<br />

EV mode, but well out of reach<br />

on open road romps.<br />

Expertly managing what is<br />

one of the more potent non-full<br />

EV’s on Hyundai New Zealand’s<br />

books is a smart rework of<br />

the company’s proven 7-speed<br />

automatic.<br />

For a compact SUV, front and<br />

rear legroom is adequate rather<br />

than generously provisioned. I<br />

found the rear door openings<br />

too narrow to easily navigate<br />

bulkier items through, like child<br />

car seats. The rear cargo hatch<br />

does the job, but isn’t helped by<br />

the batteries being stored under<br />

the floor, raising its elevation and<br />

restricting load height.<br />

SUV buyers demand top rate<br />

connectivity in their vehicles<br />

these days and the Tucson has<br />

that well covered with some of<br />

the best in class digital tech.<br />

Hyundai’s Digital Key is great,<br />

turning your smartphone into a<br />

smart key.<br />

The suspension is sportier than<br />

many hybrids with its nimble<br />

and playful character, and<br />

composed in managing sudden<br />

deviations in the road surface.<br />

No complaints about passenger<br />

comfort that is largely free of the<br />

choppy listless ride traits of some<br />

short wheelbase SUVs.<br />

Little in the way of suspension<br />

noise penetrates the passenger<br />

compartment, even under<br />

severe provocation from sub<br />

standard roads. Well weighted,<br />

communicative steering responds<br />

quickly to the driver inputs,<br />

and allows you to accurately<br />

and effortlessly place the vehicle<br />

where you want it on the road.<br />

This vehicle puts fun with a<br />

capital ‘F’ into the sub $90,000<br />

plug-in hybrid class.<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 />
