Quake heroes get bravery awards Firefighters who risked their lives to rescue people trapped after the February 2011 earthquake have been honoured for their bravery. Senior firefighters Mark Green of Halswell and Richard Platt of Templeton crawled through narrow tunnels to rescue people trapped in rubble after the earthquake. Both men were awarded The New Zealand Bravery Medal for their efforts. They worked in unstable conditions under constant threat from aftershocks, and were unable to use breathing apparatus or protective gear due to the cramped conditions. Mr Green worked to rescue survivors of the CTV building collapse. He tunnelled into the fourth floor of the building, which had been
compressed to a space about 60cm high. He teamed up with a second firefighter and they took turns tunnelling for long periods in the confined space, often breathing smoke. Debris had to be passed backwards along the bodies of the rescuers and down the tunnel, as there was no room to turn around. Other firefighters were stationed at the tunnel entrance so that when there were significant aftershocks they could quickly pull the tunnellers out by their feet. They were able to reach and rescue two women, and eventually located a small group of students trapped under a beam. •Turn to page 6

Bus route plan extended BY GABRIELLE STUART
About 2000 submissions have been received on proposed changes to the Metro Bus Services, which will affect more than 20 routes. General submissions closed on Monday last week [June 16], but were extended for residents in Southshore and Mt Pleasant because of problems with mailer deliveries. Environment Canterbury spokeswoman Angela Harden said that the extension to the submission deadline was not expected to delay the timing of the changes, which are due to be finalised and put in place in December this year. She said that a rough count of about 2000 submissions had been received before the general deadline last week, but more were expected from suburbs where the deadline was extended. She said that staff would not be able to comment on any possible changes to the draft plan until they had had time to process and consider the submissions. More than 160 submissions were collected by the Bishopdale Community Trust alone, from a stall set up in the Bishopdale Mall. Community development worker Tania Smith said that the submissions came from a variety of people and varied in length. She said that some people were

▌IN ▌ BRIEF Bus stop move
A bus stop on Halswell Junction Rd will be moved, because of access problems for wheelchair users. The current stop, which is next to Leslie Park, has no tarsealed boarding area or cut-down kerbs, and does not have footpath access. The new stop will be located north of the intersection with Foremans Rd.
No stopping restriction A no stopping restriction was approved for the intersection of William Brittan Ave and James Hight Drive, because of safety concerns. Parking on the roads blocked lines of sight around a pedestrian crossing to the Halswell Domain, and caused problems for motorists turning right out of James Hight Drive. The restriction was approved by the Riccarton-Wigram Community Board last week.

Musician’s Afghan collaboration for Musician Kerry Coulshed has spent much of the year working with two entrepreneurs in Afghanistan to create a video project. She spoke to Gabrielle Stuart about working creatively across borders, while juggling family, study and her own work. So how did this project begin? I guess it all started with a song, which I originally wrote in response to the earthquakes. It never really went anywhere, and remained unfinished for a while, until I read a book called The Dressmaker of Khair Khana, which is the story of a young woman, Kamila Sidiqi, who secretly employed more than 30 women in Afghanistan under the Taliban rule. One of the themes of the story was the amazing things that people, particularly women, can do in the face of adversity, and the strength of people when they come together. I was trying to express similar themes in the song, and it reinspired me to finish it. I sent the song to Kamila, just to say thanks for the inspiration, really, not expecting to hear anything back. Within 24 hours she had emailed back to say that she loved the song. After emailing and skyping back and forth, we came up with the idea of collaborating to create a music video for the song, and she got a local filmmaker, Roya Sadat, involved. So tell me more about these women? They are both incredible women, who are doing amazing things in Afghanistan and have contacts across the world. Kamila is a powerful enterprising
woman who is running significant programmes around Kabul. Roya is also based in Kabul, and she’s incredibly talented. I believe she was the first person to start a creative business in the city after the fall of the Taliban. Roya’s focus is on empowerment of women through creativity, and she runs several film festivals in Afghanistan. She believes that this could be part of helping to create the new image of the Afghan woman. As you got to know these women, what similarities have you discovered between their lives and yours? A lot, actually. We have young children. We’re passionate about what we do. We believe in the importance of empowering women, and how collaboration can create change. We think outside of the square, and we’re willing to take risks. Of course, the risks I take don’t even compare to what they’re facing. I don’t have a lot to lose at all
POWER OF TECHNOLOGY: Musician Kerry Coulshed has organised most of the Beautiful Beast project via Skype and email from her St Martins home. through this project, but they could lose everything. That’s one of so many things that makes me feel incredibly humbled, and honoured, about getting the chance to work with these women. I think I went into this with a degree of ignorance about the situation over there. I read books and I watched movies about it, but it’s not until you make those real connections that your viewpoint really changes. Has working with these women
changed your own work as a musician? It hasn’t – I think it has reinforced my approach as an artist. I’ve always seen music as a way to respond to things around me in an authentic way, and to connect to people through that. I’ve always been interested in music and performance, since I was a young child, but it wasn’t until a few years ago that I had the courage to share what I wrote. I’ve done a bit of performing
around Christchurch. We formed a band a few years ago, Duchess Swift, and performed at a lot of venues around Christchurch which no longer exist! After the earthquake everything changed, and a lot of people moved or moved on. Taipei Teahouse, the duo I started with Billy Mills, emerged from that. We spent most of last year writing music, and released our EP at the beginning of May, but the fundraising gig we’re holding [this week] will be our first live performance.

new video project A year seems a long time to wait before performing any of your music! It is a long time, and that isn’t something we would normally do. But organising gigs takes a lot of time, and we thought, let’s just make some music, and really focus on the music. Now we’re really excited to be finally performing. So tell me more about Billy. Where did you meet? Billy’s a really interesting guy. He’s doing honours studies in biochemistry at Canterbury University at the moment, and he’s also an incredibly talented musician. We met while he was working in a music shop about four years ago. We had a few days to find a bass player for a gig, and I went in there to ask if they knew of anyone who could do it. He said yeah, I could do it. We’ve come together with quite different skills and backgrounds. He focuses more on the production side of our music. Tell me about your experiences with past bands. What genres have you experimented with? Oh, some of them have been awful, I don’t really want to talk about them! It has been mostly blues, pop, folk music. Genres are difficult to define, because when you sit down to write music you never really know what will come out of it. We define ourselves as indie-tronica, but that is more defined by the way we make our music than the way it sounds. Tell me about the process of writing your music? I’ll usually come up with an
PRODUCTION: Afghan film director and producer Roya Sadat is working on pre-production for the Beautiful Beast project, which will be filmed at four different locations across Afghanistan. idea, a couple of lines or a harmony, with an idea of the sort of emotion I’d like to portray. Then Billy might come up with some chords, and it can all progress pretty quickly from there. Sometimes we’ll end up in a philosophical debate in the middle of the session, which is actually how we came up with the name Taipei Teahouse. I spent some time in Asia, and the teahouses there were where people came to connect, but also where politic leaders had historically come to put their weapons aside and debate issues openly and honestly. Then they’d pick up their weapons and start fighting again! That’s what we’re trying to achieve with our music. It’s not a collection of love songs, we’re trying to say something
through each piece. You’ve spent the last year at the CPIT jazz school. What inspired you to go back to school? The most amazing part of it was just being overloaded with music. I have a passion for learning all there is to know about music, and it has been a great experience. I’ve got two kids, so it is a big juggle to make it all happen, but it has reinforced to me the importance of following things that light your fire. Tell me about your family. I have two boys, who are five and seven. They’re awesome, really active and creative boys who love adventures and are learning how to challenge and question the world. My husband, Mike, runs a business dealing with rockfalls, so he works in a lot of remote areas
and is an amazing problem solver. Have you always lived in Canterbury? No, I’m from the North Island originally. I grew up in Hamilton, and we lived in Auckland for a while. We moved here about 11 years ago, mostly to get away from Auckland! We loved the mountains, and all the opportunities for outdoor adventure here. With so much going on in your life, how do you fit everything in? I’m also working this year, so it is a challenge. We don’t watch TV. There are enough hours in the day, but you just have to make the time for what’s important. These things, family and learning and creating, are all things that I’m really passionate about, so it works. Sometimes it’s a bit too busy, but it’s really just about finding that balance. So what’s next on the agenda for you? The big thing right now is fundraising for the Beautiful Beast project. We’ve got until September to raise $9000 for the filming. Preproduction is already happening over there, and they’ll have about 30 actors in the script filming across four locations. We’ve got our first gig at the Dux Live next week, which I’m really excited about. After this project, do you plan to continue to work with these women? We’ve got no plans for further projects, but I would love to. This project has evolved so smoothly and naturally, it leaves me with a sense that anything could happen.

Uni-cycle route plan for summer
Work will begin this summer on sections of the uni-cycle route, which will connect Canterbury University to the central city. The cycleway is part of the $68 million city council Major Cycleways project, which will see 13 new cycleways constructed to link suburbs, shopping areas and popular recreational destinations to the city. The uni-cycle route will provide a link through Hagley Park, Matai St, Hinau St and Ilam Rd through the university campus. Environmental Committee chairman Phil Clearwater said that the route was a clear standout to be considered as one of the first to be built. “It will be a safe, convenient, separated connection to and from the central city for cyclists. This includes tertiary students attending Canterbury University and College of Education as well as pupils attending schools along the route.” Public consultation has been done on improvements to Matai St, including new signal-controls to provide safe crossing of Deans Ave. Cr Clearwater said that most of those who responded were enthusiastic about the opportunities for the route. Several car parks will be removed to create the route, but he said that every effort would be made to limit the impact of those changes. Staff will present a report on the feedback received to the RiccartonWigram Community Board, which will then make recommendations to the city council on how to proceed with the project.

Quake heroes get bravery awards
SERIOUS PERFORMANCE: St Bernadette’s School pupil Oscar Prince played at the monthly meeting of the Hei Hei Leisure Club for Older Adults. The school senior choir also performed, as well as several individual pupils who sung or read poetry that they had written. The performance concluded with an afternoon tea and a chance for the adults and students to talk.
•From page 1 Two bodies had to be removed before the students could be reached. One student was trapped by her ankle and it took a long time to free her, while another student was trapped by his head, but was pulled from beneath the beam. A third student could not be freed without an amputation, which could not be carried out in the tunnel. Mr Green used a concrete cutter to create a hole above the student, so a doctor could be lowered into the hole to perform the amputation. Mr Platt worked to rescue survivors at the Pyne Gould Corporation building, where about 30 people were trapped. In order to enter the office space of the collapsed building, Mr Platt and other firefighters had to break through layers of concrete with hand tools and grinders before tunnelling through office equipment, furniture and debris to reach trapped victims. Platt and a team of three other firefighters located two women trapped beneath a balcony overhang at the rear of the building. The tunnel they created between the collapsed floors ranged from 30 to 70 centimetres high and was too narrow for protective gear to be worn. One woman was located around five metres inside the tunnel, and the firefighters were able to clear an access hole and extract her. The team then located a second woman pinned to her chair by a concrete beam, who was also rescued. When he was not actively tunnelling Mr Platt provided support to trapped persons nearby. He worked for about four hours before he was relieved.

Bid to raise $5000 for championship dream Two young former New Zealand line dancing champions have less than six months to raise $5000 in order to compete in the Australian championships next year. Hornby line dancer Christina Newland and her dance partner Gail Cook, both in their twenties, have been unable to compete at an international level since the New Zealand line dancing championships closed in 2007. They hope to compete in the Australian Line Dancing Championships, which will be held in the city of Tamworth in February next year alongside the Tamworth Country Music Festival. Ms Cook said that line dancers under 30 had become rare in New Zealand, but things were different in Australia. “The under-30 age group is now the largest line dancing category over there, and it’s growing. I think that the whole country music scene is a lot bigger in Aussie. “In New Zealand it’s not frowned upon exactly, but it’s definitely not mainstream. A lot of people here seem to think that line dancing is old-school, with a whole lot of older people dancing to old music. A lot of what we dance to is actually very contemporary.” The pair met when they were 11 and 12-years-old in line dancing classes in Christchurch, and have been dance partners for more than 15 years. Ms Cook believed that they had a good chance of placing well at

the competition. “We’re already training hard for it, and have the rest of the year to perfect our style. We’ve spoken to a lot of people who have been over there and think we have a good chance, so I’m pretty confident.” The pair will need to raise about $5000 before December this year to pay for flights, accommodation, entry fees and costumes for the competition.
DANCERS WITH DREAMS: Line dancers Christina Newland, left, and Gail Cook are fundraising to compete in the Australian Line Dancing Championships next year. They have set up a Givealittle page under the name Boogaloo Babes, and hope to raise funds through raffles and giving line dancing demonstrations. They can be contacted by email at gail_cook@icloud.com.
Motor accidents were down a bit this week which is pleasing. They’re never a funny proposition but I had to smile reading the call sheet for a crash last Wednesday. The caller reported the car rolling and ending up in a paddock. Not that unusual, except this paddock turned out to be Hagley Park. Not the normal description for our famous green centre. We appreciate the early call to fires that the people of Christchurch provide. So we don’t really mind when they get it wrong as in the Friday 13 call to smoke on Huntsbury Hill. Turned out to be cloud. Is it the altitude I wonder that affects the eyes? Aranui residents generally care
about each other. The community centre in Hampshire St is a hub for this so the low-life, possibly local, who torched the centre on Sunday has sunk the boot into a long suffering community about as deep as you can go. It wouldn’t be snitching to drop this individual in it. Because he hasn’t hurt the police, or the city council. He’s hurt Aranui. Finally national media picked up on the bungling burglar who trapped himself in the extraction system of a fish and chip shop in Northcote early on Tuesday. Two fire trucks attended and had to cut the flue to free the blue-tinged criminal who was treated for hypothermia. Amusing? Sure. But spare a thought for the shopkeepers. Repairs and loss of trade. Unlikely to receive restitution.

Hornby High School Years 7 – 13 A 21st century school for 21st century learners Kia Ora koutou. Talofa. Kia Orana. Malo e lelei. Bula. Fakaalofa atu. Hello and warm greetings to the Hornby High School community. Attention is now turning to the rebuilding of our school. Last year the Ministry of Education announced that this rebuilding was to occur 2015-2017, and initial scoping discussions about the process of this are shortly to begin between our Board and the Ministry. This process will, of course, be founded on wide community consultation – our present and future families and students, our partnership schools, Te Taumutu Runanga, local businesses, and others. We are in for another busy time, but what a golden opportunity we have! (And let us not forget how overdue Hornby HS is for new buildings.) Yes of course we know that buildings and equipment aren’t the most important thing for students’ learning – nothing matters more than the quality of the teacherstudent relationship – but, equally, there is no doubt that well-designed buildings and the wise use of technology can significantly assist learning. We will have a 21st century school for 21st century learners. Hornby HS’s primary focus, however, remains the academic and social well-being of our wonderful students, Yr 7-13, and our 2014 mantra of “Actively Involved Learners”. This page itself shows the positive activity in a busy secondary school. Common sense and formal research are united and very clear on the attitudes, skills and knowledge that lead secondary school students on to a successful post-school pathway, both in tertiary study and in employment. It is the daily focus on these attributes, principally through our CARR values – Commitment, Achievement, Resilience, Respect – that is at the heart of our school. Finally schools can be complex places. If for any reason you wish to talk to me about an issue please contact the office to arrange a time for this to occur. My door is open.
- mihi nui, best wishes Nga Richard Edmundson Principal

Commitment, Achievement, Resilience, Respect
Time to start the journey When a student enrols at Hornby High School they are setting out on a journey of up to seven years which takes them from childhood to young adulthood. At each step along the way, with the help of their teachers, each student gains the knowledge, skills, attitudes and dispositions which will help them create their own bright future. This month we present a range of photos showing students learning and practising skills in preparation for their career pathways beyond school. At right: 7Bn host the learning hui for the Junior College presenting what they have learnt this week.

Catholic Cathedral College
To live by faith
To Live by Faith Our faith-based education is at the heart of helping our young people be the best they can be. Catholic Cathedral College has been educating girls and boys from Year 7 to Year 13 on this historic central city site for 27 years. Today the College is a vibrant, multi-cultural centre of learning where the key values of our founders are very much alive. These are based on the Gospel message of Jesus, to love and care for one another. This sense of social justice is developed with students focussed on how they can give service and work for a just and fair society for everyone.
Family Spirit The Year 7 to 13 model works well here, as it enables the ‘family spirit’ to be such an important element of the College. With small class sizes and an effective and caring pastoral care system, we strive to meet the individual needs of each student, and track their progress and offer support and extension to individuals. Students feel cared for and develop confidence in their own learning plan – they are not just a number in a system. This close ‘family spirit’ that the students experience is extended to their families as well, as we are a community of learners, and our motto: ‘To live by faith’ can best be achieved if we have strong links with our families.
Leadership Opportunities In a small school there are many opportunities for students to develop leadership skills from Year 7 onwards. In Special Character, Sport, Cultural, Environment, Student Council, House Captains, students are mentored and supported to be the best leaders, based on the model of servant leadership that Jesus displayed. With such a focus on respect for the dignity of others, and the equality of all, this model of leadership is very effective. Catholic Cathedral College is a state integrated coeducational College. Our attendance dues are kept to a very modest level to enable all Catholic families to access quality education. We have excellent facilities including modern classrooms, Science laboratories, Technology suites, and Gymnasium. We welcome enquiries at any time. Visit our Website for more information: www.cathcollege.school.nz
Little Shop of Horrors
Musical Production Little Shop of Horrors was recently performed over a number of nights and entertained a wide spectrum of people. Talented students from each year level worked together under the direction of Peter Rutherford to perform this great story of a plant that craves blood and consumes people. Student musicians under the direction of Becky Brunton and Sophie Ralph provided the toe-tapping music for the singers. The witty script and very talented lead roles combined to make this a very memorable production.
Learning Pathways We offer a range of learning pathways, as we believe that one size does not fit all. Alongside a full academic programme leading to Level 3 NCEA, University Entrance and Scholarship, we offer a ‘Vocational Pathways’ programme for those who aim for trades or tertiary-based training. Our aim is that every student who graduates from Catholic Cathedral College will be engaged in further training, education, or employment. Every student will be moving confidently towards a future destination that will ensure they are positive members of society.
Scholarship winner Robert Falcasantos achieved an NZQA Scholarship in Media Studies in 2013, but what makes this achievement more special is that he was 15 years old, and a Year 12 student at the time. Robert is clearly a gifted and talented student, and he has been offered Robert Falcasantos opportunities for extension since starting as a Year 9 student in 2011. After a successful first year, Robert went straight to Year 11 and achieved Level 1 NCEA with Excellence. The following year, 2013, he achieved Level 2 with Excellence, as well as this Scholarship in Media Studies. This year Robert is an effective College Leader and mentor to younger students. He is a Head of House and was elected by his peers to be the student representative on the Board of Trustees. Robert is planning to undertake an exchange to France later this year through AFS and has been studying French as an additional subject. In 2015 he plans to return to New Zealand to study at the University of Auckland.
National Korfball team We congratulate Chelsea Ruiz who has recently won selection for the national Korfball Team that will compete at an Chelsea Ruiz international tournament in the Netherlands. Chelsea is a Year 10 student who has excelled in a number of areas. She is a member of our Filipino Performance Group, and enjoys netball and basketball as well as Dragon Boating.

Every year you should review whether your chosen investment option is still appropriate. The difference between options such as conservative, balanced and growth is the weighting given toward income assets (cash and fixed interest) and growth assets (property and shares). A recent survey of KiwiSaver funds by Mercer shows that over the past five years, the average rate of return for conservative funds is 7.79 per cent per annum, compared with 10.22 per cent for balanced funds and 12.27 per cent for growth funds. Although growth funds offer the
highest rate of return over the long term, they are more volatile, which means that from year to year the return can vary widely and may even be negative.

New Zealand’s economy grew at a 3.3 per cent rate in the year through March, the fastest pace in eight years, supporting the central bank’s view that it must press on with interest rate increases to keep inflation at bay. The economy grew at a 1 per cent pace in the first three months of the year, from an upwardly revised 1 per cent gain in the fourth quarter, marking three quarters of growth at 1 per cent or above, Statistics NZ said. Quarterly growth was below the Reserve Bank’s 1.1 per cent expectation and the 1.2 per cent expected in a Reuters poll of economists although the annual rate beat the Reuters forecast for 3.1 per cent. New Zealand’s economic expansion in the latest quarter was helped by a 12.5 per cent rise in construction, which accounted for two-thirds of GDP growth and marked its largest increase in 14 years. Last week, the Reserve Bank hiked the official cash rate by a quarter point to 3.25 per cent and said the economy’s expansion had “considerable momentum”, raising its estimate for growth in the first half of the year to 4 per cent from 3.5 per cent. “While the headline was a bit

Eliminate aches and pains at

ost of us who don’t hold good posture throughout the day suffer from aches and pains. Holding proper posture makes us feel more confident and reduces the likelihood of back/neck discomfort and injury. When we have poor posture, this can lead to tension, fatigue and pain, and cause wear and tear on your joints. At Form Fitness, the expert team can work with you to improve your posture by designing a personalised corrective exercise programme specifically for you to eliminate these problems. “Optimal posture is when the body is fully aligned where there is little stress on the joints and nerves, and muscles work in synergy with each other. Achieving this balance is crucial to reaching your goals, whatever they are,” says Janelle from Form Fitness. Along with poor posture, muscle imbalances can also be a common precursor to injury. When the body’s muscles aren’t working in synergy with each other, it puts more stress on the compensating muscles and eventually leads to wear and tear of the joints.

leaf extract DNA more complex Olive - nature’s extraordinary immune support than first thought A s far ago as 1927, doctors used olive leaf to reduce fevers and knock out malaria. Scientists have discovered that olive leaf contains powerful nutrients that can directly interfere and even destroy nearly every type of diseasecausing micro-organisms including bacteria, fungi, mould, parasites, viruses and even yeast infections. As well as this, olive leaf has immune-enhancing benefits by activating immune cells that fight infection. For these reasons, it has become a popular tonic herb that can be used to keep the immune system strong as well as when needed to dramatically speed up recovery of conditions like colds and flus, pneumonia, tuberculosis, herpes, shingles, urinary infections, yeast infections and much more. It has also been found beneficial for
T
chronic fatigue syndrome, low energy levels, exotic and deadly tropical diseases, two types of leukaemia and some cancers. In many chronic health conditions (e.g. cancer), the immune system is rundown and it is easy to have complications that are often life-threatening. Olive leaf may be an ideal option to boost the immune system and allow the body to have more energy to help heal itself. Olive leaf has also been found to be an effective cardiovascular tonic, helping normalise high blood pressure, improve cholesterol quality, improve heartbeat irregularities, improve blood flow and vascular disorders.

T EFFECTIVE: Researchers have developed an oral vaccine which is 86 per cent effective in preventing cholera infection.
New hope in cholera scourge A cheap and easy-to-deliver oral vaccine against cholera is 86 per cent effective in preventing the infection, which causes severe diarrhoea and can be fatal, researchers say. About 1.4 billion people around the globe were at risk for cholera in 2012, says the World Health Organisation. Cholera is caused by Vibrio cholerae bacteria, which can spread through the water supply in places where sanitation and hygiene are poor. The study in last month’s New England Journal of Medicine was the first to measure the effectiveness of a vaccine Shanchol in response to a cholera outbreak under field conditions, in Guinea. Previously, the vaccine had been tested only under experimental conditions in India. The research in Guinea, by Doctors Without Borders (Medecins Sans Frontieres), involved more than 300,000 doses of the two-dose vaccine, administered during a cholera outbreak in 2012. It was 82 to 86 per cent effective, and had few side effects. However, researchers were unable to compare one versus two doses in preventing cholera, and it remains unknown how long the vaccine can remain effective at room temperature. Three cholera vaccines are currently on the world market. Shanchol is less expensive and easier to store than another leading vaccine, Dukoral, and the two are comparable in terms of effectiveness. Shanchol costs US$1.85 a dose, compared to Dukoral at US$5.25. Both may offer some protection against cholera for up to five years. The World Health Organisation has approved two vaccines for UN agencies to buy. A third vaccine, mORC-VAX, is licensed and produced only in Vietnam. More than 1.6 million doses of Shanchol have been distributed worldwide in the past three years. The Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation has pledged support for 20 million doses over the next five years. — AFP
Using an iPhone to control diabetes A device that uses a modified iPhone to help regulate the blood sugar of people with type 1 diabetes appears to work better than an insulin pump, researchers say. The so-called “bionic pancreas” is the latest in the search to improve the lives of people who have type 1 diabetes, which means their bodies do not produce insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar. Three million people in the United States have type 1 diabetes, which is far less common than type 2 diabetes. It is commonly known as juvenile diabetes because it tends to appear in children and young adults. People with type 1 diabetes must prick themselves for blood samples multiple times daily in order to monitor their glucose levels, and then either inject insulin or receive it from a pump. The new method involved an iPhone 4S, which ran a control algorithm for insulin and glucagon, combined with a tiny needle that is inserted under the skin to monitor real-time glucose levels. A total of 52 adults and youths tried the combination for five days.

Little Lexus gets hybrid power SPECIFICATIONS
I’ve made no secret over the years of my enthusiasm for the Lexus IS series. Well, I like all Lexus product really, but the IS sports sedan concept really appeals to me. That being the case, it was with anticipation that a new-generation IS came my way. The IS has long been regarded as a performance model, yet the new range includes a hybrid and it was the first fourcylinder IS that I’ve driven. All IS models of previous generations have been V6 or V8-powered. Badged the IS300h, it is powered by a 2.5-litre engine which is rated at 133kW (164kW with electric power) and 221Nm, it is coupled to the hybrid system which Lexus and Toyota are using in an everincreasing petrol/electric line-up, taking into account the driveline in the IS300h will go into new ES and GS series cars. Importantly, the IS300h is designed to save fuel as it travels. Lexus claim a 4.9-litre per 100km (57mpg) combined cycle average. Even after a hard high country run into a howling nor’wester the test car was listing respectably at 6.3l/100km (45mpg). Bearing in mind that the petrol engine doesn’t always operate, depending on load and battery charge the electric motor power
Price: Lexus IS300h, $80,995. Dimensions: Length, 4665mm; width, 1810mm; height, 1430mm. Configuration: Four-cylinder longitudinal, rear-wheel-drive, 2494cc, 133kW (164kW), 221Nm, six-step continuously variable automatic. Performance: 0-100km/h, 8.5sec.
OPTIONS: Four-cylinder and V6 engines for the Lexus IS range. The IS300h gets a hybrid driveline. will operate alone. I doubt that that happened much during my time with the test car for I was seeking performance from the car that has long been a model I’ve revered for its enthusiasm. The hybrid IS doesn’t quite have the sparkle of its petrol powered stablemates, but it does have a respectable 8.5sec standstill to 100km/h time and will lunge through a highway overtake in 5.5sec, the force fed from a high electric power torque output ushers in mid-range acceleration willingly. And take into account that the IS in this form is a little chubby at 1720kg, it doesn’t have the sting of other lightweight sports sedans. Nevertheless, it isn’t disgraced, especially so in sport mode, throttle response is eager, just not vivid. On that subject there are three drive modes, eco, normal and sport. I far preferred normal so that is the mode I used mostly. While I was also looking for the
dynamism from the powertrain I was also anxious to experience the handling that has epitomised the IS of the past. I’m pleased to report that it is still there along with the steering feel and turn-in accuracy. The steering is incredibly involving and has the right amount of load for without being overly firmed. The driver is tightly connected with the turning wheels, grip is high through 225/45 x 17in Bridgestone Turanza rubber while information available at the steering tiller is well promoted. Lexus claim the IS300h is the first use of the hybrid drive system in a longitudinal layout and I have no hesitation is saying that it works perfectly and fits well that is the IS concept of front engine and rear wheel-drive. The latter offers natural handling characteristics within a chassis that is engineered to deliver grip under high corner force conditions. The sophisticated front double wishbone rear multiple link set-up

is a suspension that offers freedom along with geometry to keep solid tyre to road contact. Gravitational forces don’t take control while the handling aspects aren’t compromised by a set-up that isn’t firm but sprung and dampened soft to medium. The IS has always been well appointed, it gets the usual Lexus tricks and a few new ones such as the slide/touch in-cabin temperature controls. I also like the feel of the audio volume and tuning dials, they are so tactile and form part of the quality feel for which we know Lexus. Other specification items include radar cruise control, satellite navigation, heated and cooling seats, Mark Levinson audio and paddle shift gearbox levers on the steering wheel. The latter work with a continuously variable automatic transmission, a similar type to that utilised throughout Lexus and Toyota’s hybrid range. In terms of styling the new IS is

appealing with an aggressive front end gently easy with fluid lines to provide a sleek, swept-up look. It looks sharp and provides accessible accommodation for five adults. I had four adults on board and it was comfortable, leg and head room registers above satisfactory. One of the biggest surprises for me is the driving cockpit, console and dash panel area. It is very dimensional with shapes and edges all on varying planes. It’s not untidy but it isn’t fluid and it will take a bit of time to find favour. Lexus is no stranger to making that area different. The first IS to land here had gauges combined to resemble a Swiss watch-like chronograph, the thousands of Altezza owners will attest to what I mean. That aside, the IS is a smart piece of kit and one which hasn’t dented my respect for the brand. I’m so looking forward to drives of the rest of the series, I can’t wait to feel that smooth, sultry V6 to lunge into action.

Incredible value! Great choice!
An iconic central city restaurant has changed - Tiffany’s Restaurant in the historic Tudor House has had a bold change of direction. “Our city has been affected by change. Being situated in the Christchurch CBD we wanted to support our changing city by creating a business that is willing and able to adapt to suit the area and the customers. We listened to our customers and this is what we came up with,” said Kristin McLay, co-owner. Now operating as Regatta on Avon, it offers top quality casual restaurant/café dining and an extensive bar service that includes boutique wine and beer - all with a stunning river view. Totally refurbished, what was Tiffany’s now resembles a comfortable, modern alehouse. The decor is classy in warm metallic brown, gold, silver and black toning with bold striped feature walls, chunky dark stained furniture and a well appointed bar sporting an attractive retrodesign tiled surround. For those not wishing to dine in the open bar area, there is a separate dining room. The main bar/restaurant area opens out onto a paved courtyard that steps down to the banks of the Avon River. “We’re in an exciting position,” said Kristin. “We’re located directly across from the repositioned Re-Start Mall, so we’re nice and handy for shoppers wanting anything from a simple coffee through to snacks and meals - plus the Council has plans of developing the riverside.” Regatta On Avon is perfect for any occasion, from a business lunch through to
