Chess-inspired blockades<br />
installed at Hornby Hub<br />
ROOK NO FURTHER: Following a ram raid earlier this year pawn-shaped bollards have been installed at the Hub, blocking the entrance from future<br />
attempts. The metal barriers shown above remain present along the side of the road.<br />

GIANT chess-board pawns<br />
now guard the entrance to<br />
the Hub Hornby.<br />
After looking at options<br />
for traditional bollards,<br />
Hub Hornby senior centre<br />
manager Jason Marsden<br />
said while there were a lot,<br />
there were not many that<br />
were “actually capable of<br />
stopping a vehicle at speed.”<br />
Said Marsden: “Most are<br />
more visual markers to<br />
Jason<br />
Marsden<br />
delineate pedestrian and<br />
vehicle spaces.<br />
“Those that are capable<br />
of stopping a vehicle<br />
require major belowground<br />
installation<br />
works which adds a huge<br />
amount of cost and once<br />
installed it really cannot<br />
be relocated.”<br />
Marsden then set about<br />
looking for mass-based<br />
above-ground options.<br />
“Whilst there were some<br />
available in New Zealand,<br />
typically they were on the small<br />
side and I was sceptical about<br />
their ability to stop a vehicle<br />
travelling at speed which could<br />
potentially just push them aside<br />
rendering them useless,” he<br />
said.<br />
Marsden settled on the shape<br />
based on a chess pawn and<br />
went through many iterations<br />
looking at proportions, base<br />
size and height, along with the<br />
size of the top sphere while<br />
considering the centre of mass<br />
and its stability.<br />
“The Hub has a culture of innovation,<br />
so I set about designing<br />
something that would meet<br />
our requirements. The target<br />
weight was 1.5t and would require<br />
lifting points to be able to<br />
be easily placed and relocated,”<br />
said Marsden.<br />
“Further, something that<br />
would be pedestrian and<br />
trolley-friendly without corners<br />
or sharp edges. Once I was<br />
happy with the design, I then<br />
had to locate a company that<br />
could produce them.”<br />
After an extensive search,<br />
the perfect company for the job<br />
was located just down the road<br />
in Rolleston.<br />
Said Marsden: “Cancast had<br />
the skills and knowledge to<br />
produce the mould, design the<br />
required internal reinforcing<br />
to incorporate the single top<br />
lifting bolt and successfully<br />
cast the bollards to a very high<br />
standard of finish.<br />
“We are very happy with the<br />
result and have received a lot of<br />
positive feedback.”

Friendly gym provides a sense of belonging<br />
For those people considering joining<br />
a gym but are not sure if it’s for them,<br />
Wigram Culture Fitness offers an<br />
experience unlike any other.<br />
As owner Heather Peterson explains:<br />
“We have created an environment at<br />
our gym in Wigram that is supportive.<br />
Our members come from a wide<br />
range of ages, from fathers and sons<br />
to mothers and daughters, through to<br />
husbands and wives in their 80s.<br />
“Our gym provides a sense of<br />
belonging and an environment where<br />
everyone feels welcome and part of the<br />
Culture Fitness family.<br />
“We have various workout zones and<br />
gym facilities and, in conjunction with<br />
these, our gym offers Express Fitness<br />
Lanes combined with the Fitness App<br />
Myzone.”<br />
Finding the best gym can be compared<br />
to forging a new relationship. With a bit<br />
of personal reflection, pre-planning,<br />
and some vetting, you will be on the<br />
path to what could be a match made in<br />
heaven (at least when it comes to this<br />
key element of your fitness journey).<br />
Remember, you are investing your<br />
time, money, and energy into a gym,<br />
and you need to be certain that you<br />
have made the best choice for you<br />
and your training goals. You may be<br />
enticed to base your decision on online<br />
reviews or friends’ recommendations,<br />
and while that’s an excellent starting<br />
point, there should be a few more<br />
components to consider. Here at<br />
Wigram Culture fitness we want you to<br />
come in and have a look around, and<br />
make sure we are the best fit for your<br />
Fitness Journey.<br />
“People are sometimes fearful of being<br />
watched and judged at a gym,” Heather<br />
says, “but Wigram Culture Fitness is<br />
not like that. We’re full of locals of all<br />
shapes and sizes, ages and ethnicities.<br />
“Everyone is on a different journey,<br />
so come and share yours with us and<br />
discover a really friendly, supportive<br />
environment.”<br />

Turning light gets thumbs up<br />
• By Sasha Watson<br />
RESIDENTS SAY they feel safer<br />
since a green arrow was added<br />
to the Amyes Rd/Goulding Ave/<br />
Shands Rd intersection lights<br />
two weeks ago.<br />
The Greater Hornby<br />
Residents Association has been<br />
campaigning for the turning<br />
light at the busy intersection<br />
for several years – and says the<br />
feedback so far has been very<br />
positive.<br />
Said former<br />
association<br />
member and now<br />
Hornby Ward<br />
city councillor<br />
Mark Peters: “I’m<br />
hearing from<br />
Mark<br />
Peters<br />
many sources<br />
how fabulous the<br />
green arrows are<br />
working.<br />
“I’ve even heard reports that<br />
the arrows even help clear<br />
approaching, not just already<br />
queued, traffic, thus making<br />
a huge improvement on travel<br />
flow and planning.”<br />
The residents association<br />
started advocating for a green<br />
arrow from Amyes Rd into<br />
Shands Rd about five years ago.<br />
Said Halswell councillor<br />
Andrei Moore: “I remember<br />
when I first started as the<br />
Halswell councillor about four<br />
years ago, the association had<br />
already been pushing for the<br />

green arrow – the project has<br />
been going on for years.<br />
“It’s great that the lights were<br />
all done at the same time, and<br />
the community can now drive<br />
safely through Hornby and<br />
Halswell.” The new right-turn<br />
arrow was described by Peters<br />
as “an absolute win”.<br />
“There are now further<br />
requests for additional arrows<br />
to be added onto Shands Rd<br />
approaching Amyes and Goulding,”<br />
said Peters.<br />
“A huge thanks to all those<br />
involved in getting this done, it’s<br />
a great example of community<br />
and council working together to<br />
get the results the community<br />
desperately need.”<br />
The push for the arrow came<br />
after a traffic light pole at the<br />
intersection had been hit by<br />
several vehicles and the community<br />
had to wait 18-months<br />
for a new pole to be put in.<br />
A previous online discussion<br />
regarding the difficulty of<br />
turning right also saw about<br />
100 people commenting on the<br />
issue.<br />
Between January 1, 2018,<br />
and January 1, 2021, there were<br />
seven crashes at the intersection,<br />
one of which resulted in a minor<br />
injury.<br />

BUDDING media enthusiasts<br />
will be able to expand their<br />
knowledge of professional<br />
recording and editing<br />
equipment in Hornby’s new<br />
library.<br />
The Matatiki Hornby Centre<br />
will include a bookable recording<br />
space, editing equipment<br />
and other creative resources.<br />
The new centre, which will<br />
see the relocation of Hornby<br />
Library from Goulding Ave to<br />
Kyle Park, is currently under<br />
construction and is due to open<br />
in early 2024.<br />
City council head of libraries<br />
Carolyn Robertson said the<br />
Auahatanga Creative Space is<br />
an exciting addition following<br />
the success of similar resources<br />
at other libraries.<br />
The space will be equipped<br />
with professional-grade video,<br />
sound and image editing<br />
software, as well as hardware<br />
including microphones, sound<br />
mixing boards and computers.<br />
Classes to learn how to use the<br />
equipment will be available<br />
to book. The Auahatanga<br />

3D printer, sewing machines<br />
and overlocker, heat press,<br />
embroidery machine, and other<br />
resources.<br />
I couldn’t praise Cameron more highly for his communication - I<br />
felt fully informed throughout.<br />
It’s always an interesting line with agents as to whether<br />
they’re just wanting a quick sale vs looking after your best<br />

delivered the latter.<br />

Christmas parade in four years<br />
• By Geoff Sloan<br />
THE FESTIVE season was<br />
launched in style with the first<br />
ever Christmas Show Parade at<br />
Canterbury Agricultural Park.<br />
Blue skies and warm temperatures<br />
attracted more than<br />
35,000 people to the colourful<br />
spectacle on Sunday.<br />
Parade director Jason Reekers<br />
said it was great to finally<br />
get the event up and running<br />
after a four-year break due to<br />
Covid and rain last year.<br />
“We have all of the old traditional<br />
Santa parade floats that<br />
date back 75 years,” he said.<br />
The last Christmas parade<br />
in the city was held in 2019 on<br />
Madras St.<br />
“We’ve restored them<br />
all, fixed all the motors, and<br />
we’ve got some new ones.<br />
We’ve got 66 entries in the<br />
parade, all singing,<br />
all dancing and they’re looking<br />
beautiful.”<br />
The floats will include a giant<br />
Mother Goose, Disney Princesses<br />
and traditional favourites<br />
like the Mad Hatter.Reekers<br />
said logistics meant rethinking<br />
the event and combining the<br />
parade with a festival.<br />
“We couldn’t get the parade<br />
in the city. Christchurch has<br />
been designed in a way that it<br />
can’t really host a parade. So<br />
we’ve had everything here at<br />
the park, but we couldn’t just<br />
bring people here to the park<br />
just for a parade. So we’ve had<br />
to supply entertainment.”<br />
The event is run by the<br />
Christchurch Children’s Christmas<br />
Parade Trust, which want<br />
to re-establish it as the city’s<br />
premier Christmas celebration.<br />

Start a new<br />
Christmas tradition<br />
What could be better than starting some new family traditions this year? Christmas traditions are memories<br />
in the making and help spread a little festive cheer whether with your loved ones or out in the community.<br />
10 great ideas to help make Christmas a magical time of the year<br />
1. Create a Christmas playlist with some of<br />
your favourite carols and songs – play it<br />
loud and every day, if that’s your thing.<br />
Or plan a pre-Christmas sing-along<br />
evening – don’t forget to supply the song<br />
sheet so everyone can join in too.<br />
2. Get into the spirit of Christmas by getting<br />
together with family or friends to help<br />
decorate each other’s houses – turn up<br />
the music, drink the wine and go all out<br />
to deck the halls.<br />
3. Make and send homemade Christmas<br />
cards – there’s nothing more exciting<br />
than getting mail, right? Or how about<br />
writing some generic ones and dropping<br />
them into your nearest retirement<br />
home to brighten up an elderly person’s<br />
Christmas.<br />
4. Buy your family Christmas tee-shirts or<br />
Santa hats to wear on the day and don’t<br />
forget to take a family selfie.<br />
5. Fill a shoebox with gifts for a child, wrap<br />
it with a bow, and deliver to the nearest<br />
community gift tree – check with your<br />
local library and label with age and<br />
gender.<br />
6. Have a yearly family, friends or neighbour<br />
outdoor games night with drinks and<br />
nibbles leading up to the big day – think<br />
Pétanque, hoopla, mini golf, giant chess,<br />
or croquet.<br />
7. Take a leaf out of Iceland’s traditional<br />
‘Jolabokaflod’ or Christmas Book Flood,<br />
and give a book as a gift on Christmas<br />
Eve each year – don’t forget to write<br />
inside the cover who it’s from and the<br />
date.<br />
8. Make a list of must see Christmas movies<br />
to watch a week before Christmas day<br />
and tick off the ones you’ve watched.<br />
Don’t forget the popcorn and hot<br />
chocolate or nibbles and wine.<br />
9. Make and give a handmade ornament<br />
as a gift each year – the lucky receiver’s<br />
Christmas tree will be covered with<br />
beautiful, handmade memories.<br />
10. Make homemade hot chocolate on<br />
Christmas Eve or on Christmas morning<br />
to drink while the presents are being<br />
opened – decorate with whipped cream,<br />
grated chocolate, marshmallows, or<br />
crushed candy canes.<br />

Santa’s Brekkie Pancakes<br />
with fresh berries<br />
This one is not just for the kids – the sweetness of the bananas makes these<br />
pancakes scrumptious and a delicious, healthy breakfast hit for everyone!<br />
You will need:<br />
• 4-5 bananas (soft enough to mash)<br />
• 4 eggs<br />
• ½ cup rice flour<br />
• 2 tbsp whole linseed<br />
• ½ tsp salt<br />
• grated lemon rind<br />
• juice from 1 lemon<br />
• splash of vanilla<br />
• butter to cook the pancakes<br />
Method:<br />
1. Peel and mash the bananas in a bowl.<br />
2. Stir in the eggs, vanilla, linseed, salt<br />
and lemon ingredients.<br />
3. Add flour and mix to a smooth batter.<br />
4. Cook pancakes in frypan on one side<br />
until they bubble on the surface or hold<br />
together enough to be flipped over.<br />
5. If the mixture is thick, flatten the<br />
pancakes out once they’ve been turned<br />
over. Each pancake should be around<br />
1cm thick.<br />
Kid’s version:<br />
Decorate each pancake with red berries<br />
for Santa’s hat, Greek yoghurt or<br />
whipped cream for Santa’s beard and<br />
chocolate buttons or grape halves for<br />
Santa’s eyes.<br />
Adult’s version:<br />
Serve with a mix of fresh strawberries,<br />
blueberries, raspberries, and<br />
boysenberries. Top off with Greek<br />
yoghurt.<br />

Premium CX-90 joins Mazda’s ranks<br />
Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />
MAZDA HAS launched a twopronged<br />
attack on our medium<br />
and large SUV market with its<br />
new CX-60 and CX-90, a couple<br />
of genuine standouts that should<br />
have their rivals worried.<br />
The CX-90 is a worthy flagship<br />
that’s wider, longer, and more aggressively<br />
proportioned than any<br />
current Mazda. Joining Mazda’s<br />
respected SUV range, these two<br />
are the first products to launch<br />
off Mazda’s new Large Product<br />
platform, bringing fresh new designs<br />
paired with highly efficient,<br />
electrified power trains.<br />
Both the CX-60 and the CX-<br />
90 are the most important new<br />
models for Mazda in a generation.<br />
Easily the largest and most<br />
imposing model is the highly<br />
specified $92,990 CX-90 Takami<br />
inline six being evaluated here,<br />
amidst claims about it using<br />
less fuel and producing fewer<br />
emissions from a fair lump of an<br />
engine.<br />
The CX-90 is offered exclusively<br />
with Mazda’s most powerful<br />
production engine ever – a<br />
3.3L inline six-cylinder motor<br />
featuring 48V mild-hybrid assist<br />
technology. Engines of this type<br />
and size are almost a throw back<br />
to the 1980s and 1990s, to the<br />
large Ford and Holden Aussie<br />
sixes back then. Of course those<br />
motors and this newcomer have<br />
absolutely nothing in common,<br />
apart from similar engine capacities.<br />
The CX-90 motor is a totally<br />
different beast, with 254kW of<br />
power and heaps of low speed<br />
heft thanks to 500Nm of torque.<br />
Not surprisingly it’s easily outpointed<br />
in just about every direction<br />
on the performance compass<br />
by this mighty new sophisticated<br />
and refined six. It’s a highly<br />
accomplished and well-crafted<br />
motor in real-world driving, and<br />
a class standout for smoothness<br />
and refinement that not only<br />
equals, but also betters a number<br />
of more costly rivals. This is one<br />
of the most relaxing, yet responsive,<br />
large, luxury SUVs I have<br />
driven in the $100k price bracket,<br />
with excellent low-speed throttle<br />
Ratings out of 10: Performance 8; Handling 7; Build<br />
Quality 8; Comfort 8; Passenger and Load Space 8; Value<br />
for money 8; Road test avg consumption 10.2L /100km;<br />
Safety – ANCAP crash rating 5 star.<br />
Overall points out of 10: 8<br />
response and pulling power.<br />
This new generation motor has<br />
a new polished gear-changing<br />
companion in the form of a<br />
freshly developed 8-speed automatic.<br />
That’s two extra ratios<br />
than the long serving 6-speed<br />
automatic that’s still a mainstay<br />
current Mazda range.<br />
The CX-90 Takami offers<br />
voluminous amounts of people<br />
and load space and 7-seat versatility.<br />
Mazda have got the luxury<br />
detailing right with a 12-speaker<br />
Bose surround sound system,<br />
360 View Monitor camera system<br />
plus Adaptive LED Headlights<br />
with glare-free high beam. Black<br />
Nappa leather trim with heated<br />
and ventilated front seats and<br />
bright roof rails give the CX-90<br />
a good nudge even further up<br />
Quality St.<br />
Mazda i-Activsense safety<br />
throws an all-encompassing<br />
security blanket around the vehicle’s<br />
occupants, with 10 airbags<br />
Radar Cruise Control and Blind<br />
Spot Monitoring with vehicle exit<br />
warning function. The system<br />
isn’t done there, with a driver<br />
fatigue Monitoring camera and<br />
a Lane-keep Assist System with<br />
Departure Warning.<br />
For its size and weight, body<br />
roll is well disciplined and<br />
managed even when travelling<br />
briskly over undulating roads.<br />
The all-wheel drive system brings<br />
commendable stick ability and<br />
tenacity to the road holding and<br />
handling party.<br />
Mazda sets a high benchmark<br />
for consistently communicative<br />
and nicely weighted steering, and<br />
this vehicle delivers. I admire<br />
how the CX-90 intelligently<br />
blends exceptional luxury, space,<br />
pace, ride and road holding, to<br />
create one of the most convincing<br />
large premium luxury seven seat<br />
SUVs on our market.<br />
