Choral joy after tragic loss<br />
DYNAMIC DUO: Juliana<br />
Osman and her daughter<br />
Aleyna, 14, are part of the<br />
Christchurch City Chorus<br />
heading to Kansas City<br />
for the Sweet Adelines<br />
International Jazz<br />
Competition.<br />
FOND MEMORIES: Aleyna Osman chose to join the chorus after her father, Husaini Bin Hafiz, died suddenly in 2017<br />
from a cardiac condition. Right, the Christchurch City Chorus.<br />
• By Sasha Watson<br />
WHEN ALEYNA Osman’s father,<br />
Husaini Bin Hafiz died suddenly<br />
in 2017 from a cardiac condition,<br />
her mother offered her whatever<br />
she needed to cope with the loss.<br />
The 50-year-old was living with<br />
undetected Wellens syndrome and<br />
died while on his way to work as<br />
a Christchurch Hospital mental<br />
health registrar after dropping<br />
Aleyna at school.<br />
The then eight-year-old chose to<br />
sing to deal with her grief.<br />
“I thought she would have asked<br />
for a stuffed bear or a doll but<br />
strangely she said she wanted to<br />
join a choir,” her mother Juliana<br />
Osman said.<br />
“By luck, the Christchurch City<br />
Chorus had a Treatme offer for six<br />
weeks of training and just after<br />
her 11th birthday, Aleyna joined<br />
as a junior choir member. She<br />
competed in her first regionals at<br />
the age of 12.”<br />
Now, the 14-year-old Cashmere<br />
High student is off to Kansas City,<br />
Missouri, in October, to sing at<br />
her first Sweet Adelines International<br />
Jazz Competition with the<br />
Christchurch City Chorus, which<br />
her mother is also part of.<br />
“The prep . . . mental, psychological,<br />
physical . . . the experience . .<br />
. the journey is what we are most<br />
excited about. It’s no easy feat, but<br />
you never feel alone,” said Osman.<br />
“And of course, a mum-anddaughter<br />
team is so much more<br />
fun – when we practice together<br />
in the car or the kitchen, it’s great<br />
harmony.<br />

BREATH: Big crowds turned out for the sunrise yoga sessions at New Brighton and Sumner beaches.<br />
Beaches become yoga studios<br />
A YOGA teacher with a specialist<br />
interest in women’s health and<br />
hormones is turning Sumner<br />
and New Brighton beaches into<br />
temporary sunrise yoga studios.<br />
Hundreds of people lined New<br />
Brighton beach from 6.30am on<br />
Sunday for Sunrise Yoga with<br />
Posh Porridge – and a swim.<br />
And on March 3 from 7am,<br />
Hillsborough resident Jess<br />
Campbell will be taking her<br />
Sunrise Yoga Club back to<br />
Sumner beach.<br />
The mum of three young girls<br />
and two stepchildren runs the<br />
online yoga studio She Blooms<br />
but teaches mainly from the<br />
O-Studio in the central city.<br />
She started the free beach<br />
classes at Sumner and New<br />
Brighton to help people and offer<br />
something different.<br />
“(We) finish off with an<br />
optional dip in the ocean,<br />
taking time to connect with the<br />
community.”<br />
Following the<br />
30-minute class,<br />
they meet up<br />
for a porridge<br />
breakfast.<br />
Said Jess:<br />
“You’ll also find<br />
me teaching<br />
Jess<br />
Campbell<br />
a community<br />
sunrise yoga class<br />
every second<br />
week here in<br />
Christchurch, these are such<br />
special events that have taken on<br />
a life of their own.<br />
“We move between New<br />
Brighton and Sumner beach,<br />
depending on tides, do a<br />
30-minute flow and then a dip in<br />
the water.<br />
“Sometimes we even<br />
have fabulous people come along<br />
and make food and coffee so<br />
we can chat and connect on the<br />
beach.”<br />
After going through her share<br />
of ups and downs with mental<br />
health and hormonal imbalance,<br />
Jess aims to help others in the<br />
community.<br />
“Having endometriosis since<br />
my teenage years and post-natal<br />
depression after my second child,<br />
it’s needless to say that yoga,<br />
mindfulness and horse riding has<br />
been an unwavering friend and<br />
tool through it all.”<br />

Association<br />
‘upset’ after<br />
tree vandals<br />
strike again<br />
• By Dylan Smits<br />
A TREE in Beachville Reserve has<br />
been cut for the third time since<br />
2020, frustrating efforts to shade<br />
park benches.<br />
The Redcliffs Residents’<br />
Association is “upset and<br />
disappointed” the top half of a<br />
ngaio tree in the council-owned<br />
reserve has been cut off.<br />
The ngaio was planted by the<br />
city council in January 2023 as<br />
a replacement for the second<br />
tree cut in the small reserve in<br />
December 20<strong>22</strong>. The first tree was<br />
cut down to the stump in 2020.<br />
“People are going around,<br />
taking the law into their own<br />
hands, thinking that they’re<br />
entitled to cut down and damage<br />
trees in a public reserve,” said<br />
association secretary<br />
Pat McIntosh.<br />
The association believes the<br />
vandalism is likely a targeted act.<br />
City council community<br />
parks manager Al Hardy said<br />
the vandalism could “reduce<br />
the overall benefits the tree<br />
provides for current and future<br />
generations.”<br />
The health of the tree is<br />
being monitored by the city<br />
council before a replacement is<br />
determined to be necessary.<br />

Cameron Bailey of Harcourts gold is exceptionally good at what he does. Do not<br />
waste your time (and potential life savings) going with anyone else other than<br />
Harcourts gold in Christchurch and surrounding areas. Cam and his team sold<br />
our house in just 3 weeks and the efficiency and professionalism in which they<br />
achieved our desired result was very impressive. I had it on the market originally<br />
with another company for 3 months to no avail.<br />
Cam’s team was a real pleasure to deal with from day one and we knew our<br />
investment was in safe hands. Thanks again Cam, you are awesome.<br />

Servicemen awarded Nuclear Test medals<br />
• By Dylan Smits<br />
LONG-AWAITED medals<br />
have been awarded to United<br />
Kingdom servicemen for their<br />
work during Pacific nuclear<br />
testing from 1957-1962.<br />
Moncks Bay resident Mike<br />
Rossiter was recognised alongside<br />
Ernest Robb during an<br />
informal ceremony at the Our<br />
Lady Star of the Sea Church<br />
service on Sunday.<br />
The award is the first military<br />
medal issued by King Charles III.<br />
Robb died in the UK in 1996<br />
and his family, who live in Sumner,<br />
received the medal on his<br />
behalf.<br />
Rossiter was head air technician<br />
at the Royal Air Force base<br />
on Christmas Island, now part<br />
of Kiribati, during Operation<br />
Dominic – a series of American<br />
atmospheric tests conducted on<br />
UK territory.<br />
“You actually felt the heat,” the<br />
84-year-old said.<br />
“You had to face away for<br />
the initial blast because even<br />
with dark goggles you would be<br />
blinded.”<br />
Robb was a squadron leader<br />
in the air force and served on<br />
Christmas Island during the<br />
first series of UK nuclear testing<br />
in 1957, codenamed Operation<br />
Grapple.<br />
He was a radar specialist<br />
and witnessed the first-ever<br />
UK hydrogen bomb test<br />
HONOURED: Mike Rossiter (left) and Ernest Robb’s son John<br />
with the Nuclear Test medals. Right, Rossiter’s Nuclear Test<br />
Medal engraved with the profile on King Charles. <br />
from the air in May 1957.<br />
The involvement of UK personnel<br />
in nuclear tests was not<br />
publicly recognised by the UK<br />
government until 20<strong>22</strong> when<br />
mounting pressure led to the<br />
creation of the Nuclear Test<br />
Medal.<br />
“It’s good to finally have recognition<br />
after all these years, that’s<br />
the main thing,” said Rossiter.<br />
He served in the air force until<br />
1977 and moved to Moncks Bay<br />
in 2007 after two of his three<br />
children moved to New Zealand.<br />
Two of his children and three<br />
of his grandchildren attended<br />
the service to see him receive the<br />
medal.<br />
Rossiter’s key role on Christmas<br />
Island was to prepare an<br />
aerial evacuation in case of<br />
emergency.<br />
“We were curious about what<br />
we were going to see, what we<br />
were going to hear, but everyone<br />
was in the same boat so we just<br />
got on with the job,” he said.<br />
Many veterans and civilians<br />
who lived on the island during<br />
the nuclear tests believe they<br />
were exposed to negative health<br />
effects from the heat and radiation.<br />
“Some people got sick, some<br />
people died. Whether they died<br />
as a result of radiation sickness,<br />
nobody will ever know,” said<br />
Rossiter.<br />
The UK Ministry of Defence<br />
maintains almost all the British<br />
servicemen involved in the<br />
nuclear tests received “little or no<br />
additional radiation as a result of<br />
participation”.<br />
No conclusive links have been<br />
made between the radiation<br />
exposure and negative health effects<br />
for military personnel.<br />
Christmas Island was home<br />
to a small population of local I-<br />
Kiribati who had to live with the<br />
tests occurring offshore.<br />
In 2015, Kiribati’s UN<br />
representative Makurita Baaro<br />
said “our communities still suffer<br />
from the long-term impacts of<br />
the tests, experiencing higher<br />
rates of cancer, particularly<br />
thyroid cancer, due to exposure<br />
to radiation”.<br />
Rossiter said the tests were<br />
an unfortunate necessity due<br />
to threat of the Soviet Union’s<br />
nuclear program.<br />
“The Western powers couldn’t<br />
just stand by and do nothing.<br />
People will debate this, but in my<br />
opinion it has actually kept the<br />
peace for 50 odd years.”<br />

Trio race<br />
to raise<br />
funds<br />
• By Dylan Smits<br />
THREE PLUMBERS have<br />
raised $15,000 for a construction<br />
workers mental health charity by<br />
competing in the Coast to Coast.<br />
Chris Dick, 64, from Sumner<br />
completed the race earlier this<br />
month with his two colleagues<br />
Clyde Andrews, 61, and Steve<br />
Millson, 55.<br />
“We had a lot of fun just getting<br />
to the other side and doing<br />
something like this with your<br />
mates, helping raise money,<br />
bringing some awareness to the<br />
problem, made it all extra special,”<br />
said Dick.<br />
The 243km race is an annual<br />
competition running from the<br />
west to east coast of the South<br />
Island featuring running, cycling<br />
and kayaking.<br />
Their team competed in the<br />
two-day, three-person team<br />
event, with Dick running,<br />
Millson kayaking and Andrews<br />
cycling.<br />
The trio each run a branch of<br />
the national brand Laser Plumbing,<br />
with Dick’s branch based in<br />
Ferrymead.<br />
They chose the mental health<br />
charity MATES in Construction<br />
due to the high rate of suicide<br />
ACCOMPLISHED: Three plumbers, from left, Clyde Andrews,<br />
Steve Millson and Chris Dick at the Coast to Coast finish<br />
line in New Brighton. They have more than 125 years of<br />
plumbing experience between them.<br />
and mental illness in the construction<br />
industry.<br />
“We have seen this in our<br />
business over the years and we<br />
work hard to talk openly or in<br />
confidence and support each<br />
other through tough times,” said<br />
Dick.<br />
A University of Otago study<br />
in 2021 found people working in<br />
the construction sector were at<br />
two times greater risk of suicide<br />
compared to the rest of the<br />
workforce.<br />
Dick said there are strong parallels<br />
between the Coast to Coast<br />
and increased mental health<br />
wellbeing.<br />
“There is a community of<br />
support and encouragement<br />
shared between competitors and<br />
supporters that helps each other<br />
achieve their purpose.”<br />
The team had no position goal<br />
and simply wanted to enjoy their<br />
racing journey.<br />
“These positive experiences can<br />
really help when dealing with<br />
mental health issues.”<br />
Donations can be made to the<br />
fundraiser until <strong>February</strong> 27<br />
at givealittle.co.nz/fundraiser/<br />
Fundraising tours<br />
for Kansas City trip<br />
• From page 1<br />
“I’m so grateful to the director,<br />
Virginia, who allowed an 8-yearold<br />
to join alone... we wouldn’t be<br />
where we are now... getting ready<br />
for Internationals.”<br />
However, sending such a big<br />
group overseas comes with a big<br />
cost - and the chorus needs help<br />
with funding and donations.<br />
That is why Penny Wenlock,<br />
another chorus member and the<br />
founder of Pukeko Junction Cafe,<br />
is hosting a private event at her<br />
restored 1850s historical home,<br />
the Glenmore House.<br />
“It is one of the few<br />
old historical homes left<br />
after the earthquakes. My<br />
partner and I have spent<br />
about two years repairing<br />
the damage and building<br />
the old house up to a<br />
place of modern living,”<br />
said Wenlock.<br />
“It is such an extreme<br />
joy to be in the chorus,<br />
to be standing on the rises with<br />
100 plus women and making<br />
the most compelling chords<br />
together.”<br />
The fundraiser begins at three<br />
different times; 11am-1pm; 1-3pm<br />
and 3-5pm, and will take place on<br />
March 3.<br />
Those who take part in each<br />
of the sessions will be seated and<br />
served rustic homemade food for<br />
Virginia<br />
Humphrey-<br />
Taylor<br />
morning tea or afternoon tea, and<br />
then be guided on a tour through<br />
the house and gardens.<br />
The profits from the event<br />
will be donated to the chorus,<br />
which was co-founded in 1985 by<br />
Virginia Humphrey-Taylor, who<br />
continues today as the musical<br />
director.<br />
The chorus is one out of about<br />
650 groups which took part in the<br />
preliminary competitions in each<br />
of the participating countries.<br />
Out of those groups, only 36<br />
will go to the states to compete in<br />
the competition.<br />
“The top 11 choruses<br />
in the world will get to<br />
compete further for a<br />
place in the top ten – and<br />
as the overall international<br />
champions,” said<br />
Humphrey-Taylor.<br />
“This year our focus<br />
is on music from The<br />
Greatest Showman. Being<br />
in the choir, it’s like being<br />
on Broadway.”<br />
Tickets for the private event at<br />
Penny Wenlock’s are limited and<br />
cost $39 per person. They can be<br />
purchased from trybooking.com/<br />
nz/QZP by <strong>February</strong> 27.<br />

Stylish, smooth EV ticks all the right boxes<br />
THE ID.4 is a milestone on<br />
the road to full electrification<br />
for German automotive giant<br />
Volkswagen, clocking in as the<br />
company’s first vehicle built on a<br />
dedicated EV platform.<br />
There’s plenty going for<br />
the ID.4 in terms of space,<br />
technology, performance, and<br />
versatility. For our market, it’s<br />
a two model show comprising<br />
the generously appointed PRO<br />
$74,990 that’s under scrutiny<br />
in this road test, or the more<br />
lavishly appointed $79,990 PRO+.<br />
Both go the EV distance better<br />
than most with a real world<br />
electric ranges of 519km.<br />
The ID.4 has the standard<br />
SUV body shape with its<br />
sibling the ID.5 opting for a<br />
Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />
more sophisticated coupe-like<br />
appearance. I preferred the cleancut<br />
and less intricate styling of<br />
the ID.4.<br />
Getting behind the wheel of<br />
the ID.4 is a tad surreal with the<br />
vehicle sensing your presence<br />
and automatically starts when<br />
you sit in the driver’s seat using<br />
the smart key.<br />
The test car had heaps of heft<br />
from a beefy 77kWh battery<br />
and an electric motor producing<br />
150 kW of power and 310 Nm<br />
of torque. This is more than<br />
enough and with some to spare,<br />
to shift this decent sized SUV<br />
with genuine zip, cocooning<br />
you in silence, whether it’s a laid<br />
back around town excursion, or a<br />
lively open road dash.<br />
Ratings out of 10: Performance 8 Handling 8; Build Quality<br />
8; Comfort 7; Passenger and Load Space 8; Value for money<br />
7; Safety – Five Star ANCAP crash rating.<br />
Overall points out of 10: 8<br />
Throttle response is<br />
exhilarating and addictive.<br />
Standing start acceleration<br />
provided by the electrified system<br />
makes most conventional engines<br />
look like slouches. A single<br />
speed automatic is super efficient<br />
and its computer brain’s task of<br />
choosing what gear to select is<br />
about as easy as it gets.<br />
A roomy and welcoming<br />
cabin has an abundance of<br />
usable passenger and cargo<br />
space. Instruments and controls<br />
are designed with meticulous<br />
attention to detail. There’s a<br />
12-inch central touch display,<br />
multifunction steering wheel,<br />
push button start, heated front<br />
seats and steering wheel, with the<br />
latter adjustable for height and<br />
reach.<br />
Safety is paramount, and the<br />
ID.4 delivers in emphatic fashion<br />
with a coveted 5-Star ANCAP<br />
safety rating. This was earned<br />
through leading edge safety<br />
tech such as Front Assist with<br />
Predictive Pedestrian and Cyclist<br />
Protection. Side Assist with Rear<br />
Traffic Alert warns the driver of<br />
collisions with other vehicles,<br />
cyclists, pedestrians and static<br />
obstacles.<br />
All the excellent ride and road<br />
holding traits associated with<br />
Volkswagen are embodied in<br />
the ID.4. The suspension sees<br />
Macpherson struts fitted at the<br />
front and a multi link set-up<br />
at the rear. Both work their<br />
magic to deliver an immensely<br />
satisfying drive, that’s right out<br />
of the top draw. Rear-wheel drive<br />
offers effective traction over most<br />
road surfaces from the good, the<br />
bad, and the down right hideous.<br />
The high-voltage battery fits<br />
snuggly into the floor of the<br />
ID.4 between the axles, with its<br />
low centre of gravity giving the<br />
vehicle exceptional agility and<br />
balance during brisk cornering.<br />
With its solid and compact<br />
European feel the test vehicle<br />
ID.4, had a genuine and desirable<br />
point of difference over many<br />
of its peers. This is decidedly<br />
advantageous in one of the fastest<br />
growing and most competitive<br />
segments of our new car market.<br />
The test vehicle was subjected<br />
to an unrelenting assortment of<br />
bruising bumps and potholes,<br />
on a couple of lengthy drives on<br />
rural roads, that didn’t show a<br />
shred of country hospitality. I<br />
emerged from this experience<br />
with a deeper respect of the ride<br />
comfort and handling talents of<br />
this outstanding EV.<br />
