Sam’s holding his own 

• By Sam Coughlan 

YOUNG SAILOR Sam 

Foster, 11, is holding his 

own against much older 

opponents despite regularly 

being the youngest on the 

water. 

The Halswell resident has 

been sailing since he was 

6-years-old and is now competing 

against opponents up 

to eight years his senior. 

Sam said he enjoys the 

competition. 

“It’s fun, but I just don’t 

want to get on the wrong side 

of them,” he said. 

Sam’s father Shane Foster 

was the one who first took

FORMAN 

him out sailing, and is probably 

his biggest supporter. 

Foster hailed the work his 

son was doing in holding his 

own against more experienced 

yachties. 

“It’s phenomenal what Sam 

is achieving,” he said.

Multi-use 

site could 

be on the 

cards for 

Hornby 

2022. • By Sasha Watson 

WOULD constructing a new 

mixed storage and residential 

development in Hornby be a 

positive move? 

Hornby Ward councillor 

Mark Peters believes so, 

following the city council’s 

resource consent approval in 

January of a large-scale mixeduse 

development at 22-24 

Amyes Rd and 16 Branston St. 

The proposed development 

by Williams Corporation Ltd 

is for 274 residential units and 

80 storage units to be built 

with associated 

access ways 

and earthworks. 

Said Peters: 

“I think with 

the increasing 

housing 

demand, it will 

give the area a 

Mark Peters 

number of affordable, modern, 

dry and good quality housing, 

which everyone should have 

the right to. 

“It is also revitalising an old 

industrial site and turning it 

into a usable space.” 

The proposed 80 single-level 

storage units will extend along 

part of the industrial general 

zone and the railway on the 

internal boundary.

ECan to review bus routes 

• By Sasha Watson 

ENVIRONMENT Canterbury 

has started a review into bus 

services in Hornby after it was 

requested by the Greater Hornby 

Residents Association. 

“Hornby cannot continue to 

be ignored,” association spokesperson 

Marc Duff said. 

After considering feedback 

from the community, the association 

unanimously voted to 

send a letter to ECan asking for 

an urgent review to investigate 

how the bus services can be rerouted 

to provide better service 

to passengers in the southwest 

and improve access to the new 

Matatiki Hornby Centre. 

Said Duff: “It is not unrealistic 

to expect many that will be 

wanting to use the centre and its 

hydrotherapy pool will travel via 

bus, especially with the population 

movement and people moving 

back after the earthquakes.” 

The review will look at the 

travel options available and the 

need for the Orbiter or a similar 

city wide service to include the 

centre on its route. 

ECan public transport strategy 

and planning manager Sonia 

Pollard said any alterations 

to the bus services are still to be 

determined. 

“We note that the facility is 

already within walking distance 

for many from routes 140

Addington, Christchurch 

Phone 379 7100 

(Mt Pleasant to Russley), 125 

(Redwood to Westlake) and 5 

(Rolleston to New Brighton), 

which service the nearby The 

Hub Hornby and Carmen Rd. 

“We will be reviewing the letter 

and the requests it makes 

. . . we will liaise 

with the Greater 

Hornby Residents 

Association 

about this 

in due course. 

There is no set 

time frame for 

a review at this 

stage.” 

Marc Duff 

The 130 Hei Hei/Avonhead 

route passes through Hornby 

and stops at The Hub but does 

not go past the Matatiki Centre. 

One bus-goer Jocelyn Harlin 

said she travels from Templeton 

to The Hub’s bus stop but then 

has to board another bus to access 

other parts of Hornby. 

She said the buses don’t “reach 

all of Hornby”. 

“Most of the bus trips take two 

trips to get to where you want.” 

Harlin used to catch the bus 

from Amyes Rd to get to the 

Hornby Medical Centre – but 

now the route is no longer in use 

and she either has to catch multiple 

buses or walk “for a while”. 

Hornby Ward city councillor 

Mark Peters said expanding the 

bus routes in the southwest of 

the city would create less waiting

or walking time to amenities 

and help meet climate emission 

goals. 

“I sincerely hope we can 

institute a quick and adequate 

transport option for Hornby; 

whether it be adding bus routes 

or creating a second orbiter journey,” 

said Peters. 

“I’m willing to work directly 

with ECan staff, or offer suggestions, 

as we’ve got to make 

travelling to and from the nearopen 

Matatiki Centre as easy as 

possible for everyone. 

“The most important and 

immensely sensible thing to 

take on board is making sure 

we service as many patents as 

possible.” 

Duff said the Matatiki Centre 

will be a “popular” destination 

for people living in the “greater 

Hornby areas” and further away. 

“Finding a solution, like adding 

to the Orbiter route, will 

mean anyone wanting to come 

to the centre can without jumping 

on to three buses and having 

to walk part of the way there 

anyway. 

“With the opening of the 

new Matatiki Centre, the 

Dress Smart shopping centre, 

the Hornby Mega Centre, the 

largest club in New Zealand via 

membership and the planned 

high residential housing, 

Hornby cannot continue to be 

ignored.”

Struggling wastewater system a concern 

• From page 1 

Exclusive access to the storage 

units, which will operate 

independently of the residential 

complex and will be available for 

general hire, will be from a noexit 

right of way off Branston St 

via a security gate. 

The residential complex is to 

consist of 22 single-storey onebedroom 

studios, 23 two-storey 

one-bedroom lofts, 40 dual key 

one-bedroom studios across 

20 units, 54 two-storey onebedroom 

units, 102 two-storey 

two-bedroom units, 18 twostorey 

two-bedroom units with 

a garage, 11 two-storey threebedroom 

units with a garage, and 

four two-storey four-bedroom 

units with a garage. 

There are to be 33 single garages 

and 211 uncovered parking 

spaces, alongside an additional 

24 uncovered visitor parks and 

33 spaces in front of each of the 

garages, and for the units without 

garages, there will be cycle parking 

facilities. 

Greater 

Hornby Residents 

Association 

chairperson 

Derek Phelps 

said he agrees 

with Peters, 

seeing as the site 

otherwise could 

Derek 

Phelps 

be left “largely empty and ugly” 

in a residential area. 

MULTI-USE: The proposed residential complex could be situated at 16 

Branston St, currently occupied by Terra Cat. Right – The site at 22 Amyes 

Rd is currently empty. 

However, Phelps said: “The 

biggest questions that need 

to be answered, are how the 

wastewater system and traffic 

movement would be affected by 

such a development. 

“The association held a meeting 

about two weeks ago which 

brought forward more questions 

than answers. The wastewater 

system is struggling at the 

moment and there have been 

back-ups and blockages in close 

vicinity to the development site. 

“We are wondering how the 

extra strain on the system will 

fare as the infrastructure won’t 

be able to handle it. The other 

big aspect is how busy our roads 

are already - Amyes Rd, in 

particular, has enough problems 

with normal traffic. Trucks using 

Branston St and Boston Ave, now, 

have a lot of traffic.” 

Another concern Phelps 

mentioned was about how the 

council put out the approval 

as a non-notified application, 

meaning “staff don’t have to 

come and ask residents what they 

think.” 

Said Peters: “The application 

report states community 

concerns about infrastructure 

and traffic were taken into 

account including sewer 

capability and ability to host the 

units. 

“I also questioned staff 

repeatedly to ensure such matters 

were seriously considered and 

adequate means are taken should 

the development go forward.” 

The application report has 

considerations of multiple effects 

of the potential development 

including; noise, odours and 

dust, residential character 

and amenities, shading, trees, 

outdoor living, surface drainage, 

earthworks, transport efficiency, 

crime prevention, industrial 

hours of operations, availability 

of industrial land, servicing, and 

construction effects. 

The city council’s head of 

planning and consent John 

Higgins said the decision was 

considered and made by a 

planning commissioner. 

“There is a specific framework 

under the Resource Management 

Act and Christchurch District 

Plan which applications are 

assessed against. While a 

resource consent has been 

granted, no building consent 

has been received. The property 

is currently being marketed for 

sale.” 

Until 2025, the site will 

continue to be occupied by Terra 

Cat, which provides industrial 

construction vehicle/equipment 

services. 

The company will then vacate 

to newer purpose-built premises 

elsewhere and part of the 

company’s operations will move 

to 20 Branston St, to the south of 

the application site. 

Williams Corporation Ltd 

did not respond to a request for 

comment about its plans.

Open day offers 

insight into 

Freemasonry 

THE CANTERBURY Masonic 

Charitable Trust will be hosting 

an information desk at the 

Freemasons Open Day, at 

Ferrymead Heritage Park on 

Sunday (10am–4pm). 

Local groups, charities and 

community organisations are 

encouraged to attend to discuss 

how to apply for funding. 

In celebration of its 60th year, 

the trust committed $60,000 

to the Air Rescue Trust to 

support annual training costs 

for helicopter rescue pilots on 

Instrument Flight Rules. 

IFR allows pilots to fly in 

low visibility, such as in fog 

or low light. The ability to 

perform in challenging terrain 

and conditions is central to 

the crew’s effectiveness in 

responding to emergency 

situations. All rescue pilots 

must undergo annual training 

and checks, and the significant 

donation helps to support this 

service. 

Over the past nine years, the 

trust has funded the Freemasons 

Christchurch nursing 

scholarship, for applicants 

undertaking the Bachelor of 

Nursing at Ara Te Pūkenga. 

Other recent recipients of 

charitable grants from CMCT 

include NZ Spinal Trust, 

Gilberthorpe School, Seabrook 

MacKenzie, Christchurch Land 

Search and Rescue, and Graeme 

Dingle Foundation. 

By raising funds from car 

parking near the Hagley 

Netball Courts during winter, 

plus a donation from the trust 

that was matched by a national 

charity, CMCT raised enough 

to purchase all the netball 

goal posts for the new indoor 

Canterbury Netball Centre at 

Ngā Puna Wai. 

Young yachtie making a 

mark, learning the ropes 

• From page 1 

Sam placed fifth out of 14 

at the Canterbury starling 

championships at the weekend 

while being the youngest there 

by almost two years, and will be 

in the nationals at Lyttelton this 

weekend. 

Foster thinks Sam’s got a shot 

of doing well. 

“At the South Island and 

Canterbury competitions he got 

fifth, and he was the youngest 

competitor there. 

“If he keeps it up, he’ll do 

well.” 

Foster said good coaching 

helped. 

“It’s really important as well to 

have people around you. We’re 

with the Waimakariri club and 

Jeff O’Leary, who’s the coach out 

there, has lifted his game quite 

a bit.” 

Sam attends Hillmorton 

Intermediate and lives in 

Halswell. 

He has already met sailing 

royalty as well. 

“He was at the P-Class 

nationals a few weeks ago, and 

met Peter Burling, and got a 

selfie with him,” said Foster. 

He says Sam has put the 

hard yards into everything, 

sailing-wise. 

SUPPORT: Sam with dad 

Shane Foster. Above – Sam 

snapped a selfie with sailor 

Peter Burling. 

“He’s had to work hard for his 

boat, a big portion went into it 

from him with making money 

by feeding cats and dogs and 

things like that. 

“But it’s turning him into a 

pretty handy guy, he can just 

about repair it by himself 

now.” 

Sam says he’s constantly 

working on improving. 

“If I’m not on the water, I’m on 

land doing theory stuff. 

“Visualisation, so going 

through a plan in my head of 

how I’m gonna sail that race, 

and fitness, and I’m on the water 

every day I can.”

• Meanwhile, for the duxelle, 

heat the olive oil in a large frying 

pan, add the mushrooms and fry 

over a medium heat for 10-15 

minutes until softened. 

• Add the garlic and fry for 

another minute. Add the mustard, 

soy sauce, lemon zest and chopped 

thyme, and season with salt and 

pepper. Transfer the mixture to a 

food processor and blitz until very 

finely chopped, then set aside. 

• Drain the cabbage leaves and 

pat dry with a paper towel or clean 

dish towel. 

• Unroll the puff pastry on to the 

lined baking tray. Neatly place the 

cabbage leaves along the middle 

of the pastry and top with a layer 

of the mushroom duxelle. Next 

place the beetroot on top. Finally, 

spoon the remaining mushroom 

duxelle over the beetroot, packing 

everything in with your hands and 

making an even layer of duxelles 

around the beetroot. Make sure 

you leave at least a 5 cm border 

around the pastry edge. 

• Lift and pull the pastry over 

the beetroot and mushroom 

duxelle horizontally on one side, 

gently stretching the pastry if 

necessary, then repeat on the other 

side to create a log. Fold the ends 

of the Wellington under. Lightly 

score the top with a knife, making 

a criss-cross pattern (or whatever 

pattern you like). 

• Brush with a little non-dairy 

milk and bake in the oven for 

35-45 minutes until golden brown. 

Serve with gravy, mashed potatoes 

and green vegetables. 

Berry crumble cereal bars 

Makes 16 

Gluten, Nut and Soy Free 

Ingredients 

For the crumble 

280g rolled oats 

180g Medjool dates, stoned 

80ml maple syrup or use agave 

syrup 

1 tsp ground cinnamon 

60ml coconut oil 

½ teaspoon vanilla extract 

splash of non-dairy milk 

(optional) 

For the berry chia jam 

200g fresh or frozen berries 

1 Tbsp maple syrup 

1 Tbsp chia seeds 

grated zest and juice of ½ lemon 

handful of mixed seeds 

(optional) 

Method 

• Preheat a fan oven to 180°C. 

Grease a baking tray and line with 

baking parchment or a silicone 

sheet. 

• Add all the crumble 

ingredients to a food processor 

and blitz until they come together 

to form a crumbly dough. 

• Add two-thirds of the mixture 

to the baking tray and press down 

firmly with the back of a spoon 

to fill the tray. Leave to set in the 

refrigerator while you make the 

berry chia jam. 

• Make the berry chia jam by 

adding all the ingredients to a 

saucepan over a medium heat. 

Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, 

mashing the berries as they soften, 

until slightly reduced. Don’t worry 

too much if the jam is still runny, 

as it will thicken up in the oven. 

• Remove the baking tray from 

the refrigerator and pour over 

the jam. Top with the remaining 

crumble mixture. You can also 

add a sprinkle of seeds for added 

goodness and crunch. 

• Bake in the oven for 30 

minutes, or until golden brown. 

Once cooked, leave to cool in the 

baking tray for 5-10 minutes, then 

transfer to a wire rack for about 1 

hour, or until the crumble reaches 

room temperature before cutting 

into 16 bars. 

Tips 

• Make sure you leave the 

bars to cool completely before 

slicing as this will stop them from 

crumbling. Plus, the jam will set 

better. 

• The bars can be stored in 

an airtight container in the 

cupboard for up to three days and 

in the refrigerator for a week. Or 

freeze and defrost the day before 

enjoying.

Futuristic VW ID.4 goes the extra mile 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

THE ID.4 is a milestone on 

the road to full electrification 

for German automotive giant 

Volkswagen, clocking in as the 

company’s first vehicle built on a 

dedicated EV platform. 

There’s plenty going for the 

ID.4 in terms of space, technology, 

performance, and versatility. 

For our market, it’s a two model 

show comprising the generously 

appointed PRO $74,990 

that is under scrutiny in this 

road test, or the more lavishly 

appointed $79,990 PRO+. Both 

go the EV distance better than 

most, with real world electric 

ranges of 519km. The ID.4 has 

the standard SUV body shape 

with its sibling, the ID.5, opting 

for a more sophisticated coupelike 

appearance. I preferred the 

clean-cut and less intricate styling 

of the ID.4. 

The honeymoon is over for 

EVs. In a double whammy 

they lost the generous clean car 

rebates on January 1, and from 

April 1 they must pay Road 

User Charges. This is the date 

the RUC exemption EV owners 

enjoyed for over five years comes 

to an abrupt end. From that date 

owners will be charged $76 for 

every 1000km they travel in their 

EV – the same amount light diesel 

vehicles such as Utes pay. 

Getting behind the wheel of 

the ID.4 is a tad surreal with 

the vehicle sensing your presence 

and automatically starts 

when you sit in the driver’s seat 

Ratings out of 10: Performance 8; Handling 8; Build 

Quality 8; Comfort 7; Passenger and Load Space 8; Value 

for money 7; Safety – Five Star ANCAP crash rating. 

Overall points out of 10: 8 

using the smart key. The test car 

had heaps of heft from a beefy 

77kWh battery and an electric 

motor producing 150kW of 

power and 310Nm of torque. 

This is more than enough and 

with some to spare, to shift this 

decent-sized SUV with genuine 

zip. It cocoons you in silence, 

whether it’s a laid back aroundtown 

excursion, or a lively open 

road dash. 

Throttle response is exhilarating 

and addictive. Standing 

start acceleration provided by 

the electrified system makes 

most conventional engines look 

slouches. 

A roomy and welcoming cabin 

has an abundance of usable passenger 

and cargo space. Instruments 

and controls are designed 

with meticulous Germanic 

attention to detail, and are easy 

to read and use. There’s a 12-inch 

central touch display, multifunction 

steering wheel, push button 

start, heated front seats and 

steering wheel, with the latter 

adjustable for height and reach. 

A 30-colour ambient light palette 

lets you have a lot of fun around 

choosing the mood of the cabin, 

from bright and bouncy 

to laid back and chilled. 

Safety is paramount, 

and the ID.4 delivers in 

emphatic fashion with a 

coveted 5-Star ANCAP 

safety rating. This was 

earned through leading 

edge safety tech such as 

Front Assist with Predictive 

Pedestrian and 

Cyclist Protection. Side 

Assist with Rear Traffic 

Alert warns the driver of 

collisions with other vehicles, 

cyclists, pedestrians and static 

obstacles. 

All the excellent ride and road 

holding traits associated with 

Volkswagen are embodied in 

the ID.4. The suspension sees 

Macpherson struts fitted at the 

front and a multi link set-up at 

the rear. Both work their magic 

to deliver an immensely satisfying 

drive, right out of the top 

draw. Rear-wheel drive offers 

effective traction over most road 

surfaces from the good, the bad, 

and the down right hideous. 

The high-voltage battery fits 

snugly into the floor of the ID.4 

between the axles, with its low 

centre of gravity giving the 

vehicle exceptional agility and 

balance during brisk cornering. 

With its solid and compact European 

feel the test vehicle had 

a genuine and desirable point of 

difference over many of its peers. 

This is decidedly advantageous 

in one of the fastest growing and 

most competitive segments of 

our new car market. 

The test vehicle was subjected 

to an unrelenting assortment of 

bruising bumps and potholes, 

on a couple of lengthy drives 

on rural roads that didn’t show 

a shred of country hospitality. I 

emerged from this experience 

with a deeper respect of the ride 

comfort and handling talents of 

this outstanding EV.
