CONSERVATIONIST FAREWELLED Communities lose a ‘mighty totara’ BRIDGET RUTHERFORD

Corsair Bay and Lyttelton have lost a “mighty totara” dedicated to conservation work and the community. Long-time resident and conservationist Thomas Hay died peacefully on April 2 at the age of 92. Forest and Bird life member Diana Shand said a “mighty totara” had fallen. “He was just an extraordinary man.” Mr Hay was well known for his conservation work, which included campaigning to save Northland’s Waipoua Forest in the late 1940s. Along with that work, he was part of the Corsair Bay Residents’ Association, where he had lived for 64 years. He and his wife of 69 years, Joan, were custodians of Lyttelton Museum. Mr Hay also campaigned against nuclear weapons to save Lake Manapouri in Fiordland.

INSIDE:

His conservation work took him to the role of Forest and Bird Canterbury branch chairman in the 1970s during the Battle for the Beeches. His daughter Brenda Rainsbury said her father had a great sense of humour and was a kind and gentle man. “He was very concerned about the environment and what was happening to it.” Mr Hay grew up in Lyttelton and attended both Lyttelton Main and West schools before going to Christchurch Boys’ High School. He moved to a cottage in Corsair Bay after he married Mrs Hay, who he had known since they were children. They built onto their cottage, and planted native bush on the section behind their home, and lived there until the earthquakes. Mr Hay was in the Merchant Navy from 1944-48 and was at one stage part of the team that guarded the ammunition in Cass

Bay during World War 2. He then worked on the wharves in Lyttelton until he retired. In 2010, Mr Hay was presented with an Old Blue award for his voluntary work – Forest and Bird’s highest honour. He will be farewelled at a service at Lyttelton Club today, and is survived by Mrs Hay, his two children, five grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

CELEBRATION: Long-time Corsair Bay and Lyttelton resident Thomas Hay will be farewelled today at Lyttelton Club.

Dog owners may face changes Registration, licence among proposed changes Sumner and Banks Peninsula dog owners may soon see some changes to the rules for their pets and rural working dogs. A hearings panel has considered issues raised by more than 250 submitters on the proposed new Dog Control Policy and Dog Control Bylaw. The panel last week recommended changes to the proposed policy and bylaw, which will be considered by the city council next month. If adopted, the bylaw will come into force on September 1. Under the proposed bylaw, Banks Peninsula residents living on properties under 10,000 sq m may soon have to seek a licence to own more than two dogs. There is currently no requirement for this in Banks Peninsula, but Christchurch residents have to get a licence to own

PAVILION DECISION Redcliffs Community Pavilion will be on the table at tomorrow’s city council meeting. Councillors will decide whether to approve the repair of the pavilion to a basic standard, and transfer the ownership to the Redcliffs Residents’ Association for $1. The residents’ association would then lease the land the pavilion sits on from the city council. PHARMACY MOVING Redcliffs Pharmacy has moved to the former LOOK Gallery, at 95 Main Rd, opposite New World while it has temporary repairs carried out to its building. The pharmacy moved on Monday and its services, hours and phone number will remain the same.

more than one dog. The panel has also recommended to create a new dog registration category for ‘rural working dogs’. This would mean those dogs could be subject to lower registration fees, because they are well-trained and actively contribute to farming activities and remain on their farms. Other proposed changes would see dogs prohibited from Sumner beach from November 1 to March 31. They are currently not al-

lowed on the beach from December 1 to March 1. Dogs would only be prohibited from Akaroa beach in the summer under the proposed policy. Dogs are currently prohibited on the beach all year round. Other broad changes would require dog owners to carry plastic bags to clean up their dog’s faeces in public, and require dog owners to know where their dog is and what it is doing when they are off their leashes in public.

The dogs must be responsive to commands and not being a nuisance. The current (2008) Dog Control Policy and Bylaw will remain in force until the city council makes its final decision on the proposals next month. HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you think rural working dogs should have lower registration fees? What do you think of the proposed changes? Email your views in 200 words or less to bridget. rutherford@starmedia.kiwi

BYLAW REVIEW The Navigation Safety Bylaw is being reviewed and people can make submissions on the proposed changes until May 2. One of the proposed changes includes a compulsory identification consisting of letters or numbers that are not in the vessel’s brand, make or model. It would be required to have a minimum height of 90mm and be distinguishable to the naked eye from at least 50m away. There would be exemptions for on-power driven vessels of less than 6m in length, paddle craft and vessels powered solely by oars.

Call for safer pathway after pedestrian hit BRIDGET RUTHERFORD

No complaints over freedom campers after temporary ban BRIDGET RUTHERFORD

Freedom campers seem to be abiding by the rules after a temporary ban was put in place at Ferrymead’s Windsport Park and Wainui. A city council spokeswoman told Bay Harbour News there had been no complaints of freedom campers at both locations since it was temporarily banned last month. No complaints had been received about freedom camping in Akaroa over the past two months either, she said. City council chief executive Karleen Edwards announced on

March 10 that freedom camping would be temporarily banned until May 30 at Windsport Park and Wainui. French Farm was immediately closed to the public due to contamination from overflowing septic tanks. The closures came after reports of freedom campers parking up at those spots, overstaying their allowed time and overusing the toilets. Freedom camping was also temporarily banned at Addington Park and Lower Styx River A city council spokeswoman said contractors and city council staff had continued to conduct

monitoring patrols across the city and Banks Peninsula. She said the city sites were monitored nightly, when the gates were locked. “The sites subject to temporary closures on the peninsula have also received weekly visits to assess compliance with the closure,” she said. HAVE YOUR SAY: Have you seen freedom campers in these spots since it was temporarily banned? Do you think a permanent ban should be put in place?

Calls have been made for safety improvements to the Moncks Bay pathway, three weeks after a pedestrian was hit by a drunk driver while using it. City councillor Yani Johanson (right) has asked the city council to look into whether any temporary safety improvements can be made to the pathway along Main Rd. The Coastal Pathway will be built where the footpath is, however, that is not likely to be completed until 2020. Last month, three pedestrians were walking along the pathway when alleged drunk-driver Sarah Jane Arrow, 45, drove through the wooden barrier near Deans Head knocking one onto the rocks below. Cr Johanson said it was “inadequate” and something needed to be done. “Following that crash that happened through the safety barrier, I’ve asked staff to look at what we can do, to look at if there are any short-term improvements.”

He said with the upcoming rockfall remediation works, it would be a good time to try and make improvements to the footpath. “We’ve had the crash that happened, we’ve got huge works planned for that area, and we’ve got a deteriorating pathway.” If Redcliffs School was to close, which he was against, more children and parents would have to use that footpath, he said. Redcliffs Residents’ Association member Fletcher Stanton said the footpath was very narrow in places and the wooden barriers were flimsy. He said putting steel barriers up would make it safer. “If a car hit that it would bounce off.” Cr Johanson hoped to hear back from the city council within the next two to three weeks.

Jenn Bestwick

Facing the challenge of merging CPIT and Aoraki polytechs merged last week and will now be called Ara Institute of Canterbury. Jenn Bestwick, of Governor’s Bay, the entity’s chairwoman spoke to Gabrielle Stuart about the merger, her student days, travel, hats and dreadlocks So take me back to your own study. Where did you go to university? It was years and years ago now! I was brought up in Derbyshire in the United Kingdom, so I studied law in Nottingham. It was very different to studying now. In those days there were all big classes in big lecture theatres, so you turned up in the lecture theatres dragging your books and they’d read things out to you and then give you more to read. So I qualified as a solicitor, but once I started work it all looked very boring to me, so rather than tell my parents I had wasted four years I decided to do a big OE. New Zealand was meant to be a stopover. Were you a nerd as a student, or were you trouble? Put it this way, I think I probably balanced my time well between the library, the bar and the sports clubs. I was a fairly good student, although a lot of the time my parents probably thought, ‘what are you doing?’. Did your own experience as a student influence the decisions you make at Ara? One of things I found useful at the time, and all through my career really, was that study gave me a way to think about challenges and problems and work my way through them.

EXPLORER: Ara Institute of Canterbury chairwoman Jenn Bestwick first came to New Zealand more than 25 years ago as a stopover on her big OE, and is still passionate about travelling the world.

That’s held true no matter what endeavour it is. And that’s important more now than ever, as there is increased availability of information and content. The value is not what you know it’s how you access information and work out what’s important and what’s credible. The other important thing I value is really clear vocational training, helping students to hone skills that are relevant to the local workforce. And that’s one piece of feedback we get constantly: That our students have got real-life experience, although they’re pretty green they’ve been in the workforce and understand how it works. Were there things you hated as a student, and swore you’d never do? There are always things we

hate, like the exams and the late night study after leaving things to the last minute. And the way we assess has already changed and will change further. But in reality, the things you hate aren’t always bad things. Talk me through why Ara was chosen as the name for the new combined polytechnic? Well, Ara means pinnacle or summit. When we came together we wanted to show we were not one organisation being folded into another, we wanted to have a fresh name and identity, as much as anything to provide clarity to our own students and community. So both boards came together and we looked at history of both organisations and where we’ve come from, and that was the starting point. We wanted something aspirational

which unified all our regions, but you still have to have a name which talks to where you are. It represents our strong connection to Aoraki Mt Cook, and the multiple pathways and braided rivers. But the whole process took about nine months, and the brand agency ended up checking well over 160 names, because some meant dreadful things in other languages! What’s been the biggest challenge for you on the council? Well I’ve been on the council for about 10 years and chair for six, but I think one of hardest things was just after I became chair. The then chief executive, bless him, decided to follow his heart and move to Tauranga. So we were an all new council and didn’t necessarily know the

organisation well, so choosing the chief executive was very difficult. And it’s very good we got Kay (Giles), because right after she arrived suddenly the earthquakes happened. Obviously it was a huge challenge to work through that because we were in the red zone so we had to start from scratch with no facility. It was one of the hardest things we have ever done, but looking back it was also one of the most rewarding. We had to make huge decisions on the fly, and it was a huge learning curve, but our staff are incredible and they used their initiative and their connections to find places and ways of making things happen. And we’ve taken a lot of learning from that, which is one reason we can handle a big challenge like this.

two polytechs You wear a huge number of hats on boards and organisations around the city: Have you picked them up consciously or has it just happened along the way? I was actually talking about this the other day, because more and more the idea of a career path doesn’t seem to happen, these days it’s more about responding to opportunities around you. And I thought, actually, I’ve been doing that for 20 years. But I find most of my work is in the health and education sectors, and increasingly in science and innovation. When thinking about taking something on, my first question, once I know the business is viable, is what contribution the organisation is going to the community. It’s got to be a project giving something positive back. So when you were travelling the world, why did you choose New Zealand to make home? Well, one of things I loved at the time and still appreciate now is the positive attitude people have and the ease of doing things. It still strikes me when I go back to the UK, the bureaucracy and crowding, and just the amount of time it takes to do anything. As opposed to New Zealand, which is a country where if you work hard you can pretty much do anything. I arrived with $600 and

a backpack. Yes, I had a degree, but I never practised law in New Zealand, I just worked hard. And that remains true for many of our students, a great attitude turns into opportunities. And why Christchurch? I actually landed in Auckland in 89, and spent the first few years in Auckland in my early 20s. I decided to move south in 96, but it was a toss up between Hawkes Bay, Wellington and Christchurch. But I did a lot of whitewater kayaking then, and I’ve always been a keen tramper, so Christchurch won because of the ease of getting outdoors. Christchurch was a sleepy little town back then, of course. So I did a big road trip in an old 1980s Mercedes-Benz coupe, Thelma and Louise style. I stayed in Sumner initially, and then I brought a house in Governors Bay, and I’ve never looked back. You’ve never thought about going back to the UK? Well, my family’s there so I visit a lot, but I definitely won’t move back. I’ve been here more than half my life now, and pretty much all my adult life, so I can’t imagine leaving. You’ve got me for good, unfortunately. It doesn’t sound like you have much of it, but what do you get up to in your free time? Well, I have a lovely husband and three step-kids. I just got into

stand-up paddleboarding, and I do a bit of sea kayaking and a lot of tramping. I’m a passionate photographer, so I recently went to Japan to do landscape photography in the snow. And I have three dogs, a burmese cat, and I do a lot of riding. There can’t be many people working in business at your level who have dreads. Do you get many comments? Well actually, three weeks ago my dreads went, after 12 years. So I have straight hair at the moment, which is feeling a bit boring. I decided it was time for a change, and they were a bit of a pain doing stand-up paddleboarding, because they take forever to dry. But they’ve never an issue. Actually the first day after I got them I had a meeting with the then deputy prime minister, and I was so nervous. I walked in thinking what have I done, I’ve committed career suicide. But he didn’t say anything until I was leaving, and then he just said ‘nice dreads’. It’s never been a problem.

Tumour operation inspires sixth book BRIDGET RUTHERFORD

After Barry Southam had three ribs and most of his left lung cut out to remove a cancerous tumour, he decided to get on with writing his sixth book. Now, that book, Exits and Entrances, has been on the shelf since February, and has since received good reviews, including in this month’s edition of North & South. The Mt Pleasant resident put together the book of short stories and poems in about a year. It came after he had a “huge” cancerous tumour removed in an operation that took seven hours, and had three surgeons working on it. He had been coughing for a couple of months, and went to have an X-ray which discovered the 10cm by 6cm cancerous tumour. Along with three of his

ribs, and most of his left lung having to be removed with the tumour, surgeons had to pull muscle from the back of his shoulder to the front to act as his replacement ribs. “It gave me a big fright. As part of my recovery I started scribbling around furiously.” He said his sixth book was the best he had done so far for short stories. His inspiration comes from his “eyes and ears”. “I’m a good people studier, most are based on the things that actually happened. The names are changed to protect the guilty of course.” The front cover of the book, a red door in the middle of a paddock, was a photo taken by Mr Southam two years ago when he was walking in Orton Bradley Park, which suited the book. The book can be bought at Scorpio Books, Paper Plus and University Book Shop.

Rural life – getting down to business

Separate ward for Banks Peninsula

KATE PREECE

Sharing my life with a stubbywearing, gumboot thrashing, genuine country man, it was only natural we tune in to the new season of Rural New Zealand. The picturesque setting overlooking Banks Peninsula was a great backdrop to meet new presenter, Gordon Findlater, the man who promised to take us from Prebbleton to Geraldine and back. On the flat of South Canterbury, the educational value offered by Geraldine High School’s Primary Industry Academy was highlighted well. The enthusiasm of the next-generation of farming folk an encouraging sight to see. As Gordon (right) tried – and failed – to tie off a wire fence alongside the students, however, some dismissive noises came from the seat beside me. While the city slickers might find humour in this part of the programme, Gordon will need to toughen up if he is going to earn any points with the farmers. The stories that followed provided snapshots of rural life, from up-and-coming entrepreneurs to those making a liveli-

hood out of living off the land. By exploring the different aspects of what it means to live a rural lifestyle, viewers are shown the diversity offered beyond the city limits. In that respect, Rural New Zealand ticks a few boxes for us. “That’s the beauty of farming in New Zealand – it’s an open book, no one keeps their cards to their chest,” explains the accredited armchair critic. “Everyone wants to hear of people doing well for themselves as it’s a

hard way of life.” Our favourite part of the show was the speed shearing competition in Geraldine. In classic ‘country comes to town’ style, the sheep had centre stage in the Village Inn’s backyard, and the community were there to support the shearers and experience what is quite often too far from their own doorstep. As well as the pros, we heard from those beginning their quest for the sharpest shears, once again presenting the future of the vastly varied rural industry in good form. Farmers will appreciate seeing the successes of like-minded souls on Rural New Zealand,

Banks Peninsula will be represented by one ward after this year’s local body elections. The Akaroa-Wairewa and Lyttelton-Mt Herbert community boards currently cover the area, with one councillor, Andrew Turner. However, under the city council’s representation review, the area will be cut to one ward, with one councillor. Heathcote Valley, Sumner, Redcliffs, Mt Pleasant and Ferrymead would be represented by the new Heathcote ward. The western part of the Heathcote Estuary has been included in the Heathcote ward, instead of the Coastal ward, as originally proposed. Across the city there would be 16 wards, with one councillor each, and the mayor. There are currently six wards and 13 councillors. The new wards were approved by the Local Government Commission last week. Mayor Lianne Dalziel said in keeping Banks Peninsula as a separate ward, the commission had recognised the unique nature of the community. Local body government elections will be held in October.

Lying in bed and looking at the view out of my bedroom windows each morning was the initial inspiration for this series of work. The view is always different and waking and looking at it each day does feel like the landscape and sky are a continually changing stage set. It is always different influenced by weather, light and season. Sometimes partially hidden by curtains and sometimes framed by them.

I attended Canterbury University School of Fine Arts in the early 1980s and have been exhibiting widely in New Zealand and overseas for the past 20 years. Past work has included several series related to the landscapes of the Port Hills and Lyttelton Harbour as well as more domesticated scenes, and a fascination with clothing and fabrics.

My work here attempts to explore the concept of I live in Lyttelton where I have a studio in my home staged views and hidden views. It incorporates both overlooking the inner harbour. my love of fabric and the landscape. I have also played with more traditional concepts of objects on stage.

CRASHING OVER: Lyttelton captain Stefan Vaiola dots down in their 22-15 win over Lincoln University on Saturday.

BIG WIN: The Ferrymead Bays first team registered their first win of the season against FC Twenty 11 on Saturday.

Bays find their feet after first season win FRASER WALKER-PEARCE

Ferrymead Bays have got their season back on track thanks to a last-minute winning goal against FC Twenty 11. On Friday night Bays took on FC at ASB Park, and it was a 92nd minute stoppage time goal for striker Chris Anderson that won the game after he headed a sweeping cross into the back of the opposition net. The 1-0 win ended newly promoted FC’s unbeaten start to the season, and lifted Bays from the bottom of the table. Prior to the game, FC had five points from their first three games, while Bays had just one. Bays coach Danny Halligan

said he expected the same result this weekend. “It was only a matter of time until we had a win. It’s pleasing for the players to get those points and now we will look forward to the next game,” he said. Halligan said stand-out performances from Anderson, as well as James Deehan, and Canterbury United player Andreas Wilson contributed to the win. Bays face Nelson Suburbs this weekend, who are currently in third place, and will be playing off the back of a 2-1 win against Universities last weekend. The game against Nelson will be played at Ferrymead Park this Saturday at 1pm.

Grant’s Health Tips

Lyttelton’s close win in ‘grudge match’ The Lyttelton Rugby Club senior side held onto a slim lead to win against Lincoln University in their second round game on Saturday. Lyttelton took to the field against top of the table Lincoln University, in what Lyttelton Rugby Club committee member Clint Williams said was a “huge grudge match”. It was a close affair right up until the end of the match when Lyttelton captain Stefan Vaiola crashed over for the side’s fourth and final try to clinch the win. That earned them a close 22-15 win over Lincoln, with Vaiola’s try earning his side a bonus point. Lyttelton now have nine points from their first two games, and will take on Belfast at home this weekend.

Banks Peninsula also played on the weekend, and took to the field against Springston away. The team travelled to last year’s division two winners Springston, aiming to get their first competition points. Banks Peninsula Rugby Committee member Michael Wilson said the team struggled to contain Springston from the outset. “They had the wind behind them in the first half but struggled from the kick off and had to withstand prolonged Springston pressure inside their own quarter,” he said. After a try was scored by flanker Troy Stanbury, the score was 7-6 after the first quarter of play. But at half time the score was 18-7 to Springston after they scored twice before the break.

Wilson said the first few minutes of the second spell was a tight affair. “Both sides had their moments but it was with half an hour to go that the score was 23-7 to Springston. We had the better of the last part of the game, and strung many phases together, but struggled to get the ball over the line,” he said. It was only in the last five minutes that the away side were rewarded with a penalty try. The game ended 30-14 to the home side after they were able to hit straight back from the penalty try. Wilson said the players will learn from the loss and be ready for next weekend. Banks Peninsula are currently second from bottom on the table.

Protect yourself for up to 3 months from cold & flu It’s coming into the time of year to be thinking about prevention of colds & flu. Buccaline is an oral antibacterial prophylaxis for the prevention of secondary bacterial infections associated with cold and flu. Buccaline provides active immunisation against bacterial colds. Illnesses of the upper respiratory are often caused by bacterial infections. Viral and influenza-like illnesses are frequently made worse by an additional bacterial infections and take longer to recover from. Immunology investigations show that Buccaline significantly improves resistance to colds and flu. Protection becomes effective after taking the last set of tablets. To maintain effectiveness as well as taking Buccaline at the beginning of the cold season take it again in the middle of the cold season. Tablets should be swallowed whole with some liquid one-hour before breakfast or lunch.

World champs for kayak juniors FRASER WALKER-PEARCE

Sumner’s Jake Koekemoer has been selected to represent New Zealand at the upcoming junior world canoe racing championships. Koekemoer is one of three Arawa Canoe Club members selected to represent the country in July, for the competition in Belarus. Papanui’s Shani Clark was selected for the under-18 women’s squad, and Ilam’s Ben Duffy will join Koekemoer in the under-18 men’s squad. The three kayakers will be busy fundraising over the next few months though – apart from a small amount of funding from High Performance New Zealand, they will have to stump up with the rest of the money themselves. They are still yet to find out how much the cost could be. Koekemoer and Duffy are brand new to the under-18 men’s squad this year, while for Clark, this is her second world championships after having represented New Zealand in last year’s under-18 women’s squad. Arawa Canoe Club coach Paul Fidow said he was proud of all three kayakers for making the teams.

Johnson makes team for lifesaving championships FRASER WALKER-PEARCE

WORLD CLASS: Ilam’s Ben Duffy (left), and Jake Koekemoer (right) have been selected for the under 18 New Zealand men’s canoe racing team. Shani Clark was selected for the under 18 women’s squad.

“Shani was selected last year to go to Portugal, after a big training camp in Hungary. But for Jake and Ben it’s their first world champs, and their second international tournament,” he said. Fidow said the athletes will travel to Slovenia before taking on the world championships. “They’ll be leaving for the world champs on July 6, and coming back in August . . . they will have a training camp in

Slovenia before the real competition kicks off later in July,” he said. The competition venue is a specially made regatta course just outside of Belarus’ capital, Minsk. This comes after Arawa Canoe Club won the top club award at the National Sprint Kayaking Championships in February, and the Tyro Cup for juniors aged under-13.

Sumner’s Seb Johnson has been selected for the upcoming Lifesaving World Championships in the Netherlands. Surf Life Saving New Zealand last week announced the junior Black Fins team that will compete at the biennial world championships, Rescue 16, in September. Sumner Surf Lifesaving Club member Johnson, 16, is the only one from the South Island to be picked for the squad. His selection comes after a stellar year, which includes six gold medals at the Southern Regional Championships and second place at the Dunga Classic. The world championships is held every two years and attracts competitors from more than 40 nations. The junior Black Fins will take part in four days of competition, two days of pool events and two

days of beach and ocean events. Junior Black Fins coach Jonelle Quane said there is a great mix of athletes in the team which she feels is one of the strongest yet. “These athletes have performed really well, particularly in recent months at regional and national champs, and I look forward to seeing them come together and fight hard to win the youth title this year,” she said. The world championships will be held in Eindhoven and Noordwijk in the Netherlands from September 1 to 18. The youth team will travel alongside the New Zealand open team, the Black Fins, which will be announced next month.

Average Chch exercise 44min Christchurch adults do an average of 44 minutes of rigorous exercise daily – the fifth highest out of 14 cites studied. A study published in the British journal The Lancet looked at 14 urban areas in 10 countries with 6822 adults being monitored using accelerometers. But Wellingtonians came out on top doing 50.1 minutes of exercise a day, followed by Olomouc, Czech Republic, with 47 minutes daily, and in third the North Shore with adults doing 45.7 minutes daily. Residents of Baltimore were the least active, at 29.2 minutes a day. On average, participants did 37.3 minutes per day of moderate to vigorous physical activity – the equivalent of at least a brisk walk. The authors of the study looked for environmental factors within participants’ neighbourhoods that might explain their varying amounts of physical activity. They found that higher levels of activity were linked to greater housing density, more road intersections, more parks within walking distance and more public transport stops.

FITNESS: Studies show adults in the city do 44 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity a day.

Average minutes spent in moderate to vigorous physical activity a day: All cities studied showed adults did an average of 37.3 minutes of physical activity a day.

“Neighbourhoods with high residential density tend to have connected streets, shops and services, meaning people will be more likely to walk to their local shops,” said one of the lead authors of the study California University Professor James Sallis. He says the distance to the nearest public transport stop was not associated with higher levels of physical activity, although the number of nearby stops was.

The study’s New Zealand participants lived in areas of much lower average housing and intersection density than those for the 14 areas internationally taken together. Three of the New Zealand areas on average also had more public transport stops within 1km than the norm, although Waitakere participants had fewer. The North Shore, Waitakere and Christchurch neighbourhoods had more parks within

1km of the participants’ homes than average while Wellington had fewer. The Ministry of Health recommends a minimum of two-and-a-half-hours of moderate or one and a quarter hours or vigorous physical activity a week. They said a healthy diet and physical activity helps maintain a healthy weight, which can reduce the risk of heart disease, type two diabetes and some cancers.

Sport sedan concept kept intact by BMW When I was a teenager I used to subscribe to the American motoring magazine Road & Track. One of the cars I was really smitten with during those years was BMW’s 2002 sports sedan, I studied in depth the advertising and any reference to that car in the articles. The 2002 loosely evolved into the 3-Series and it has just ticked over 40 years of production. Today’s 3-Series draws heavily on the technological development process BMW has set in motion during that time frame, yet it still retains the fundamental principals of those early models. The 3-Series has just had a bit of a makeover to celebrate 40 years, and in many ways the choice to buy a 3-Series has been made simpler. Sure, there are sedan and wagon variants, and four-wheel-drive options, but the basic package comes down to petrol or diesel – all with four-cylinder engines. The test car was the 320i, as its nomenclature suggests it is petrol-fuelled 2-litre model. Interestingly, I’m due to drive the 330i soon which shares much the same engine, albeit with higher power outputs. Therein lies a bit of a secret, all 3-Series variants

ve Remo ells g sm n i k o co m! a e t s and

have turbocharged engines which result in feisty power delivery, a hallmark of BMW’s manufacturing technique throughout the generations. The 320i is rated with 135kW and 270Nm, and if you take into account that those outputs are realised at very usable points of the rev band – 5000-6500rpm and 1350-4600rpm respectively – the result is a fluid flow of power delivery right through the rev range, which is also transported through the low and close ratios of an eight-speed automatic transmission. I have great admiration for clever technology, and the driveline in the 320i really impresses. It is strong, smooth, quiet, and won’t tax the wallet when it comes time to filling the tank. BMW rates the 320i with a 5.3-litre per 100km (53mpg) combined cycle rating. I must admit to be a little throttle heavy during my time with the test car, but when I took it back to the dealer the fuel usage readout was still

Price: BMW 320i, $72,000. Dimensions: Length,4633mm; width, 1811mm; height, 1429mm. Configuration: Four-cylinder longitudinal, rear-wheel-drive, 1998cc, 135kW, 270Nm, eightspeed automatic. Performance: 0-100km/h, 7.3sec.

BMW 320I: Performance and efficiency.

sitting at a healthy 7l/100km (40mpg). That, along with a 5l/100km (56mpg) instantaneous readout at 100km/h, provides economical motoring. And if you stack that up against a 7.3sec standstill to 100km/h acceleration time and a top speed well in excess of 200km/h, the combination of performance and economy is rather remarkable. The 320i also stands out for its handling, it has all of the rear-wheel-drive attributes you look forward to as a driver. BMW has developed the chassis to the point where the vehicle is classed as a most definite sports sedan. It’s a concept I’ve really come to enjoy in cars

Ventilation Equipment Suppliers to trade and retail

over the years and the 3-Series is a product of that extensive development process. I took the test car on one of my favourite roads to Whiterock in North Canterbury, and enjoyed its athleticism and feel through the suspension and steering. It points and turns like it’s on rails. and with the way the power ebbs and flows it feels like a true performance car. The 320i can be quick when requested, yet it is also the gentle everyday dawdler when city traffic is at its worst. The driving position is ergonomically-friendly and the controls simply fall to hand. There’s a lot of kit in a 3-Series, and using BMW’s

option lists the buyer can choose from a raft of specification items way too numerous to list. In base form the 320i sits at $72,000 which, to my of thinking, is a tidy package given you have satellite navigation, steering wheel-mounted paddle gear shifters, head-up display and an extensive safety package. Another feature I really like, although I used normal mode mostly, is the eco-pro or sport engine management protocols. As their titles suggest, they are for economy driving or creating a livelier throttle response when open roads beckon. Consistently, there’s a lot of fine product landing from BMW’s factories, and if you take into account the diversity of models, there’s a vehicle for almost all tastes. Why I mention this is because BMW’s city car – the plug-in, electric powered i3 – won the New Zealand Motoring Writers’ Guild Car of the Year title for 2015.

Keeping TracK Of YOur HealTH Elly McGuinness takes a look at the new fitness sensation Fitbit. What is it and how does it work? Most importantly, how do we incorporate it into our fitness regime?

itbit consists of a family of products designed to track every part of your day – including activity, exercise, food, weight and sleep – to help you stay motivated, and see how small steps make a big impact. There’s something for every taste, budget and technical requirement from the everyday category of wrist bands to performancespecific watches. All Fitbit products track steps, distance, calories burned and active minutes. All but the most basic Fitbit also track sleep patterns. At the performance end of the range you’ll also have access to things like heart rate and GPS tracking. All of the products feature wireless syncing and online and mobile tools, such as the Fitbit app to help track your exercise, sleep, hydration and food, and connect with friends. Seeing your progress can really help you realise what’s possible, and investing in a Fitbit may help to take you on the next step of your health and fitness journey. Fitbit was built on the premise that fitness is not just about gym time; it’s about

all the time. So, it can be a great addition to your fitness regime.

There are many things to consider when choosing a health and fitness regime to follow through with.

For example: • What type of exercise to choose: indoor, outdoor or a mixture of both? Running, walking, cycling, swimming, yoga, pilates, dancing, group fitness, a team sport, or something else? • Who to exercise with: just yourself, with a buddy, in a group, or to enlist the help of a personal trainer? • What nutrition guidelines to follow: enlist the help of a nutritionist, or just cut back on processed food, for example? • Balance: how will you ensure you get a good balance of enough rest and recovery as well as the right frequency, duration and intensity of exercise? • Motivation: how will you motivate yourself to get out the door in the first place?! Professional advice from a registered exercise professional should always be your first port of call. They can help get you set up with an appropriate personalised programme, help you with exercise techniques, and help you stay accountable to your goals. Once you’re in the swing of things you may find you want some extra assistance to ramp up your progress towards your goals. Investing in a Fitbit could help you to achieve this, especially if you’re a ‘details’ person who likes to be well organised and able to measure progress from each and every workout. Similarly, if you find you’re in a bit of a rut and could do with a mini accountability ‘buddy’, then a Fitbit could be just the ticket.
