Rose of Tralee National Final

The Rose of Tralee National Final took place recently at the Legends Lounge in Addington. The Rose of

Tralee festival is a celebration of the women of Ireland and the vivacity of Irish culture. Started 55 years ago, the festival attracts young women of Irish decent to County Kerry in Ireland to take part in the grand fi nal in August. Following dinner, the ball got into full swing; guests partied with true Irish fun and enthusiasm, dancing to the sounds of The Shameless Few.

Quake heroes getbravery awards

Firefighters who risked their lives to rescue people trapped after the Feb-ruary 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 ef-forts.

They worked in unstable condi-tions 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 sur-vivors 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 fire-fighter and they took turns tunnel-ling for long periods in the confined space, often breathing smoke.

Debris had to be passed back-wards along the bodies of the res-cuers 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 tun-nellers out by their feet.

They were able to reach and res-cue two women, and eventually located a small group of students trapped under a beam.

▌▌ IN BRIEF

Bus stop moveA 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 tar-sealed boarding area or cut-down kerbs, and does not have foot-path access. The new stop will be located north of the intersection with Foremans Rd.

No stopping restrictionA 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 Commu-nity Board last week.

Pool operating hoursAn extension of the Templeton Pool operating season by one week has been recommended, as an amendment to the city council draft annual plan. The pool opens seasonally, from December to February. A decision on the pro-posed extension will be made at city council annual plan meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. 800 public submissions on the draft plan were received.

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 spokes-woman Angela Harden said that the extension to the submission dead-line 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 con-sider the submissions.

More than 160 submissions were collected by the Bishopdale Com-munity Trust alone, from a stall set up in the Bishopdale Mall.

Community development worker Tania Smith said that the submis-sions came from a variety of people and varied in length.

She said that some people were

“very passionate” and filled a whole page in their submissions, while others just raised a couple of points.

She said many people were con-cerned about losing services in the area, with direct routes into the city

and access to services like medical centres were some of the points most commonly raised.

A consultation mailer was redeliv-ered last week in Southshore and Mt Pleasant, where residents have until

Monday next week [June 30] to send in their submissions.

More information on the routes affected by the proposed changes can be found at www.metroinfo.co.nz.

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 un-finished 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, par-ticularly women, can do in the face of adversity, and the strength of people when they come together. I was try-ing 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 film-maker, Roya Sadat, involved.

So tell me more about these women?

They are both incredible women, who are doing amazing things in Af-ghanistan 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 incred-ibly talented. I believe she was the first person to start a creative busi-ness 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 discov-ered between their lives and yours?

A lot, actually. We have young children. We’re passionate about what we do. We believe in the impor-tance 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 fac-ing. I don’t have a lot to lose at all

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 situ-ation over there. I read books and I watched movies about it, but it’s not until you make those real con-nections that your viewpoint really changes.

Has working with these women

changed your own work as a musi-cian?

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 authen-tic way, and to connect to people through that.

I’ve always been interested in mu-sic 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 lon-ger exist! After the earthquake ev-erything 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 be-ginning of May, but the fundraising gig we’re holding [this week] will be our first live performance.

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.

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 ex-cited 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 bio-chemistry at Canterbury Universi-ty 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 produc-tion 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 de-fined by the way we make our mu-sic than the way it sounds.

Tell me about the process of writing your music?

I’ll usually come up with an

idea, a couple of lines or a har-mony, 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 mid-dle of the session, which is actual-ly 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 histori-cally 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, re-ally 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 Can-

terbury?No, I’m from the North Island

originally. I grew up in Hamil-ton, and we lived in Auckland for a while. We moved here about 11 years ago, mostly to get away from Auckland! We loved the moun-tains, 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 re-ally 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 fun-draising for the Beautiful Beast project. We’ve got until September to raise $9000 for the filming. Pre-production 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.

Work will begin this summer on sec-tions 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 cycle-ways constructed to link suburbs, shopping areas and popular recre-ational 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 chair-man Phil Clearwater said that the route was a clear standout to be con-sidered as one of the first to be built.

“It will be a safe, convenient, sepa-rated connection to and from the central city for cyclists. This includes tertiary students attending Canter-bury University and College of Edu-cation as well as pupils attending schools along the route.”

Public consultation has been done on improvements to Matai St, includ-ing new signal-controls to provide safe crossing of Deans Ave.

Cr Clearwater said that most of those who responded were enthusi-astic 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 Riccarton-Wigram Community Board, which will then make recommendations to the city council on how to proceed with the project.

•From page 1Two 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 with-out an amputation, which could not be carried out in the tunnel.

Mr Green used a concrete cutter to cre-ate 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 fire-fighters had to break through layers of con-crete with hand tools and grinders before tunnelling through office equipment, fur-niture and debris to reach trapped victims.

Platt and a team of three other firefight-ers located two women trapped beneath a balcony overhang at the rear of the build-ing.

The tunnel they created between the col-lapsed floors ranged from 30 to 70 centi-metres high and was too narrow for pro-tective gear to be worn.

One woman was located around five me-tres inside the tunnel, and the firefighters were able to clear an access hole and ex-tract 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.

Two young former New Zealand line dancing champions have less than six months to raise $5000 in order to compete in the Australian champi-onships next year.

Hornby line dancer Christina Newland and her dance partner Gail Cook, both in their twenties, have been unable to compete at an inter-national level since the New Zealand line dancing championships closed in 2007.

They hope to compete in the Aus-tralian Line Dancing Champion-ships, 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 per-fect 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, en-try fees and costumes for the com-petition.

They have set up a Givealittle page under the name Boogaloo Babes, and hope to raise funds through raf-fles and giving line dancing demon-strations. They can be contacted by email at [email protected].

NEW NURSERY: Educator Tamsin Ingle (centre), has joined the team at Portobelo Preschool in Avonhead to help run a new nursery and expansion of the centre. She was officially welcomed by Lyn Eder of Portobelo Preschool and Peter Mason of the Nga Hau e Wha Marae.

BY MARK THOMAS – FIRE RISK MANAGEMENT OFFICER

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 pad-dock. 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 pro-vide. 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 al-titude 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 suffer-ing 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. Amus-ing? Sure. But spare a thought for the shopkeepers. Repairs and loss of trade. Unlikely to receive restitution.

ACHIEVEMENTS: Hillmorton High School’s Te Hepi Taukiri and St Thomas of Canterbury College’s Taani Taufau and Klayton Waikato, were rewarded for their efforts in the latest round of The Star Cup secondary schools rugby league competition. Hillmorton were playing their first game in the cup, and put in a brilliant first-half effort against league leaders St Thomas, before fading in the last 15 minutes and eventually losing 48-0. Taukiri and Taufau were named Star players of the day, and Waikato was named man of the match.

Keri Low is representing New Zealand at the eightball pool world championships in Eng-land, which start this weekend.

The Sydenham resident started playing competitive pool in 1995.

Over the years she has col-lected six Canterbury Ladies ti-tles, and around 10 South Island Ladies titles, two of those while playing with her 14-year-old daughter, Toni Blair.

She has also claimed one na-tional title and one North Island

Ladies title.Up until four years ago, com-

petitions in the South Island were separated by gender. Low applied and was accepted to play in the men’s first division in Christchurch.

The world championships are being held from June 22 to July 2.

POOL PLAY: Keri Low will com-pete in the eightball pool world championships, which start this weekend in England.

The Domanation Fight Night was held last Saturday at the Templeton Community Centre. The fight card featured six Muay Thai kickbox-ing fights followed by three mixed martial arts fights, which all took place in a large cage. The event was Unanimous Decisions first official event, and attracted more than 400 people. Domanation II will be held later this year at Cowles Stadium. Photos: Geoff Sloan

Hornby High School

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.

Commitment, Achievement, Resilience, RespectYears 7 – 13

Nga mihi nui, best wishesRichard EdmundsonPrincipal

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.

Time to start the journey

Right: Michael and Anthony Day take on opponents from

Cashmere HS in the inter-school Chess competition.

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 teacher-student 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.

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 co-educational 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

Musical ProductionLittle 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.

Scholarship winnerRobert 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 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.

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.

Chelsea Ruiz

Learning PathwaysWe 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.

Christchurch Intermediate Schools

Specialists in Year 7 and Year 8 Education

ENQUIRIES WELCOME

This is a great opportunity to

see Intermediates in action

Intermediates are exciting places for students to

begin their adventure into adolescence. In addition

to providing a rich, age and stage, middle-years-

specific curriculum in a stimulating, challenging and

rewarding environment, intermediates cater for many

interest groups and clubs.

It is not surprising that New Zealand and overseas

research concludes that the quality of teaching is

one of the most significant factors influencing how

well students learn at school. Given that quality

teaching occurs in most New Zealand schools

regardless of their type, it’s only natural to consider

other factors that might make a difference for early

adolescents.

The young people at intermediates are changing

rapidly – physically, emotionally and socially.

Intermediates focus solely on this age group and

are well positioned to meet their needs. A mix

of specialist and home room teachers helps to

provide the choices, challenge, love for practical

activities and academic rigour in the students’

learning. Resourcing, both human and physical, that

is developed deliberately to meet early adolescent

student needs, helps to build self esteem, assist

students to develop and find strengths and links

learning with career aspirations. Teachers who are

focussed solely on the middle years are able to work

collaboratively to provide level-appropriate engaging

programmes that connect learning to students’ lives

and interests and provide challenge for all students

to achieve to the best of their ability.

Current intermediate school students list these

points:

1. “There are more children of my own age here

because our school takes all the year sixes from a

few different schools and they come to one school.

And because we’ve got bigger numbers of pupils

we can have more sports teams and … there’s

something for everyone” Y8 child

2. “Our school has different specialist teachers for

subjects like music art, P.E. and technology, so we

get used to that – which is good preparation for

secondary school” Y7 girl

3. “At intermediate school everything is for our two

years (age group).” Y8 girl

4. “I like that we don’t have to look out for little

children. That was neat at our old (primary) school

but it’s nice to just have our own age here. Y7 boy

5. “It’s good that we don’t have big secondary kids

here. We can worry about them when we’re older…

and then we’ll be big too. Y8 boy

Your KiwiSaver investment should be reviewed annually, and June is the best time to do this for a number of reasons.

The Government tax credit of around $521 is paid into your KiwiSaver account every July, and the amount you receive will be based on your contributions for the year ended June 30.

To receive the full amount of tax credit, you will need to have contributed around $1042 between July 1, 2013 and June 30, 2014. You can make a direct contribution into your KiwiSaver account to top it up if required.

June is also the time to make sure the tax rate for your KiwiSaver is correct. By now, you should know what your taxable income was for the past two years, and this will determine your prescribed investor rate. The tax you pay on KiwiSaver is a final tax and if your tax rate is set too high you will not be able to get a refund, so it is important to make sure the tax rate is correct.

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. Choose an option that matches your attitudes towards risk and return.

will be offered the choice tomove those physical cards into avirtual wallet, stored inside asmartphone.It works as a downloadable

app onAndroid phones andusers can access their cards andchoose which to use, tapping thephone on an electronic paymentterminal inmuch the samewayas contactless cards such asPayWave and PayPass.A new joint venture between

key banks, as well as Vodafone,Telecom, 2degrees andPaymark, has resulted in thecreation of a trusted servicemanager (TSM).It provides the secure

infrastructure between banks,

merchants, loyalty schemeproviders, mobile phoneproviders and the consumer,allowing them to use theirsmartphone for payments.Similar models are already

operating overseas.TSM chief executive Rob Ellis

says the service will launch infull this year, although a datehas not been finalised and abrand name has yet to beannounced.When it does launch, many

consumers will be able to use theservice to pay for goods—effectively bypassing the need touse cash or traditional Eftposcards.

What can you use itfor?Ellis says amobile wallet will

be useful for a wide range ofservices, but will initially startwith payments.“What you’d have in your

[mobile] wallet is a digitalmirror card of your physicalcard you’d have in your wallet or

purse.” Other services such asloyalty scheme cards, publictransport cards like Snapper andHOP, and gift cards willgradually be added, he says.An additional aspect is

ticketing, where consumers canuse their phone as an entranceticket to a concert instead ofprinting a physical ticket.“You’d be able to scan it at

the door.”

How the future looksAlthough Eftpos has long

been the recognised paymentsystem in New Zealand, movestowards contactless technologylike amobile wallet could spellthe end of its dominance.Ellis says Eftpos could be

incorporated into the newtechnology but how or if thathappens is yet to be determined.In terms of fees, a mobile

wallet works the sameway as acontactless card, so consumerswould be subject to the samebank fees they now pay usingthose cards.

It’s no less secure than usinga physical wallet either, he says.“If you lose your phone you

think about it in the sameway asyou lost your wallet— you’d dosomething about it straightaway.”That includes contacting

banks and cancelling lost cards.“What’s important as well is

with a smartphone you haveother levels of security whichare above and beyondwhat youhave on your purse or wallet.”Users can set up PIN access

to the wallet in addition to theirusual smartphone PIN, Ellissays.“Over time I would see the

mobile wallet being central tothe lives of New Zealandersbecause it’s about convenienceand reducing our life admin.“If this is successful as we

think it will be, it’ll be just anatural thing for Kiwis to wantto use it.“It’s like Eftpos— 30 years

agowe didn’t know that weneeded it and now it’s central toour lives.”

Time to review KiwiSaver investment

Economic growth will keep rate hikes comingNew 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

softer than we or the Reserve Bank had expected, taking revisions to previous quarters into account, today’s result still suggests that the economy had developed considerable momentum at the start of the year,” Westpac senior economist Michael Gordon said in a note.

“Today’s numbers will do nothing to dissuade the Reserve Bank from its intention to continue hiking the OCR in its July review.”

New Zealand’s central bank is expected to deliver another two rate rises this year, according to a Reuters poll of economists.

HEALTHY: New Zealand’s economic expansion in the latest quarter was helped by a 12.5 per cent rise in construction.

Most of us who don’t hold good posture throughout the day su� er from aches and pains. Holding proper posture

makes us feel more con� dent 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 speci� cally 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.

“Lower back pain is an example and commonly caused by poor posture. In most cases, by identifying the imbalances present and correcting them, the pain associated with injury goes away and the body is able to heal itself.”

� e team at Form Fitness undertake a full postural and muscle imbalance assessment, including strength and � exibility testing, before designing your individual exercise programme to ensure they have a full understanding of how your body is functioning and can design a speci� c programme to target your strengths and weaknesses.

“By incorporating corrective exercise into

your training regime and improving your body’s awareness, we reduce the stress on your structure and decrease the likelihood of injury so you can reach your potential faster and do the things you want to, pain-free.”

� ere are no membership costs or joining fees at Form Fitness - you only pay for your trainer’s time. � e studio is located in the heart of Beckenham and is equipped with high quality equipment and all you need to succeed and reach your � tness aspirations.

Eliminate those aches and pains and learn how to live a pain-free life by contacting Form Fitness on 0800 FORM FITNESS (0800 367 634) or visit their website to � nd out more at www.form� tness.co.nz.

Enterprising young bakers raise money for charityWith assistance from parents, enterprising Year 2 pupils of Cathedral Grammar School have been busy baking and decorating cup cakes for the purpose of raising funds for Ronald McDonald House.The children set up shop to sell these delicious creations to staff and pupils at school on Tuesday 10th June.

The outstanding efforts of these young entrepreneurs raised a grand total of $1045.60! This was an excellent learning opportunity for the children and a great way to support the community.

Cathedral Grammar School has a strong link with Ronald McDonald House. Ronald McDonald House is a charity which provides accommodation and support for families who have relocated from

out-of-town to be with mothers, fathers or children who are long-term patients at Christchurch Hospital.

Every year, the children of one or two families join Cathedral Grammar School to continue their education while staying at Ronald McDonald House on Montreal Street.

NICI WICKES’ PORK LEG ROASTED WITH APPLE, FENNEL & CRACKLE Roasting whole apples along with your pork roast is a great way to create a truly delicious apple sauce, and everyone knows nothing beats a pork roast with crackling!

INGREDIENTS 2.5-2.8kg leg pork, bone in, skin on and scored (get your butcher to do this) 1/4 cup olive oil2 tsp sea salt 2 tsp fennel seeds 2 tbsp chopped rosemary 4-6 cloves of garlic 2 large onions, peeled and quar-tered 1 and 1/2 cups Selaks Reserve Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay 8-10 small Granny Smith apples (or one per person)Salt and pepper to season gravy

METHOD Set the oven to 250 deg C. Rub skin and the flesh of pork with olive oil, salt, fennel seeds and chopped rosemary.

Place in a roasting dish large enough so there’s room for the whole apples part way through cooking. Roast at a high heat to get the crackle started—be patient, this can take up to 45 minutes before it is browned and blistered enough to make great crackling. Keep an eye on it to ensure it crackles but doesn’t burn.

Reduce the oven temperature to 180 deg C. Add one cup of the wine to dish, scatter onions and garlic cloves around pork, then cover with foil and cook for 60 minutes.

Using a sharp knife, score apples around the ‘‘waist’’ to stop them bursting while cooking.

Remove roasting dish from oven

and remove foil (carefully to avoid steam burns).

Add the apples to dish, baste each one with roasting juices and add a sprinkle of salt.

Continue cooking for a further 30 minutes, uncovered, until apples and pork are cooked through. The crack-ling will crisp up again during this time, too.

Prick meat with a sharp knife. If juices run clear, it’s done; if not, pop it back in oven for 10-15 minutes.

Remove from oven and remove pork and apples carefully from roast-ing dish. Set aside so pork can rest for 10 minutes while you make gravy.

To make gravy, pour away most of the fat from the roasting dish and add remaining half cup of white wine. Simmer until liquid has re-duced by half. Add half a cup of wa-ter and scrape all the gooey goodness off the bottom of the roasting dish, simmer and season with salt and pepper to taste. Pass this through a sieve into a serving jug.

Serve sliced pork with cooked ap-ples, shredded red cabbage coleslaw and gravy.

Scientists exploring the obscure world of human pro-teins have uncovered a large number no one knew existed.

Regions of DNA not pre-viously thought to code for proteins produced 193 novel molecules, whose functions remain a mystery.

The findings suggest that the human genome, or genetic code, is much more complex than had been assumed.

The early first draft of the “proteome”, the complete pro-tein catalogue, includes pro-teins encoded by 17,294 genes — 84 per cent of all the known genes in the body.

Proteins are complex organ-ic molecules responsible for the vast array of life processes. They act as building blocks of living tissue, drivers of count-less chemical reactions, and a fuel source.

Genes are stretches of DNA containing sequences of chemicals that provide the coded “instructions” for pro-teinmaking cell machinery.

Although science has made a great deal of headway unrav-elling the secrets of DNA, it has only scratched the surface of proteins.

Professor Akhilesh Pandey, from Johns Hopkins University in the US, who led the new research reported in the journal Nature, says: “You can think of the human body as a huge library where each protein is a book.

“The difficulty is that we don’t have a comprehensive catalogue that gives us the titles of the available books and where to find them. But we think we now have a good first draft.”

The research team began by taking samples of 30 tis-sues, extracting their proteins, and using enzymes as “chemi-cal scissors” to cut them into smaller pieces.

The fragments, called pep-tides, were then run through a series of instruments designed to identify them and measure

their abundance. Many proteins were char-

acterised for the first time, including some never pre-dicted.

The most unexpected find-ing was that 193 of these mol-ecules could be traced to sup-posedly non-coding regions of DNA.

“This was the most excit-ing part of this study, find-ing further complexities in the genome,” says Professor Pandey.

“The fact that 193 of the proteins came from DNA sequences predicted to be noncoding means that we don’t fully understand how cells read DNA, because clear-ly those sequences do code for proteins.”

He thought scientists would never finish cataloguing the proteome because it was so extensive and complex.

But the new work provided a “solid foundation” for other researchers. — AAP

HEALTH

DNA more complex than first thought

BREAKTHROUGH: Scientists have uncovered a large number of human proteins no one knew existed.

Women who have their babies less than a year apart are twice as likely to give birth prematurely, a new study suggests.

About one in five mothers whose babies are born less than 12 months apart will give birth to their babies before they reach 37 weeks of pregnancy—also classed as a pre-term birth.

This compared with just 7.7 per cent of mothers who wait for the “optimal” time of 18 months or more between children.

Babies born prematurely can suffer a range of problems— generally the earlier a baby is born, the higher the risk of health issues.

The US study, published in BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology,

examined 450,000 births from women who had two or more pregnancies during a six-year period in Ohio.

They found that mothers with “inter-pregnancy intervals” of less than 18 months were more likely to give birth before 39 weeks of pregnancy than those who waited longer between children.

More than half of those who had an IPI of less than 12 months had their babies before 39 weeks compared with 37.5

per cent of those who had an “optimal IPI”, the authors said.

They said women should be counselled on the importance of “optimal birth space”.

“Short inter-pregnancy interval is a known risk factor for pre-term birth, however this new research shows that inadequate birth spacing is associated with shorter overall pregnancy duration,” said study co-author Emily DeFranco, assistant professor of maternal fetal medicine at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine in Ohio.

“This study has a potential clinical impact on reducing the overall rate of pre-term birth across the world through counselling women on the importance of adequate birth spacing.” — AAP •More health, p25

Love right and followpassionPeople canmake their ownchoices toachievehappiness,writes SarahWiedersehn

IT’S ABOUT YOU: Marry a caring person and give to others and you will be happy.

"The key tohappiness is tohave thosepositive caringrelationshipswith others."Dr Jean Twenge

TRUMPET playerextraordinaire JamesMorrison believesfinding your passionwill lead to happiness.

Morrison uncovered hispassion at a very young age andspoke about his love of jazzmusic at the Happiness & ItsCauses conference in Sydney.Indigenous artist Gail Mabo

also discovered her source ofhappiness at a young age.The daughter of late land

rights activist EddieMabo is arespected artist andchoreographer.One of seven children, Gail

Mabo says her father inspiredher to dance.Mabo says dance and

painting take her to a “happyspace”.But what do amonk and

leading psychologists say abouthappiness and how to achieve it?ProfessorMihaly

Csikszentmihalyi is a pioneeringresearcher and best-sellingauthor of Flow: The Psychologyof Optimal Experience, theclassic work on how to achievehappiness.Csikszentmihalyi says too

many people are caught upworrying about what everyoneelse is doing and go through lifenever really questioning whothey are, what they like to doandwhat they are good at.“And so they end up kind of

twisted out of shape and notreally happy,” he says.“You have to learn to figure

out what feels good to you, interms of what youwould like todo for the rest of your life, whatmakes life meaningful. You canthen perhaps craft a life that youfeel good about.”Matthieu Ricard, a French-

born Buddhist monk from theShechenMonastery in Nepal,has worked as an interpreter tothe Dali Lama and is the best-selling author ofHappiness: AGuide to Developing Life’s MostImportant Skill.

Bemore altruistic—whatreallymatters is howwe care forothers, Ricard says.“The quality of social

network is not just measured byhowmany people you knowsocially, it’s based on thenumber of people onwhom youcan count, of whom you can askadvice, the people you can trust.“It’s giving and receiving not

just a commercial exchange offavours. It’s care, helping eachother, the joy of co-operation.“We are now seven billion

people deciding the fate ofbillions of billions of generationsto come, so we cannot say thatthis is not our job, it’s not ourresponsibility.”Dr Jean Twenge is professor

of Psychology at San Diego StateUniversity and co-author of TheNarcissism Epidemic: Living inthe Age of Entitlement.Don’t marry a narcissist—

relationships are one of themostimportant keys to truehappiness, says Twenge.Twenge says it’s a smart

move to think about narcissismwhen it comes to partners.“Unfortunately, narcissists

are not good at relationships.They are not good at connecting

with others; caring andcompassion is not really theirthing. That tends tomean in thelonger term they are isolatedand unhappy.“In the short term, people in a

relationship with a narcissistsay it’s great. They’re confident,they’re fun to be with but aboutthreemonths in you suddenlyrealise that person doesn’tactually care about you. It’s allabout them.“The key to happiness is to

have those positive caringrelationships with others. Thosefriends and family and socialsupport is what life is all about.”Professor Roy Baumeister,

the social psychologist who

wroteNewYork Times best-sellerWillpower: Rediscoveringthe Greatest Human Strength,says willpower is one of the keysto finding happiness. He saysplenty of research shows peoplewith good self control arehappier andmore satisfied.“They aremore successful,

more popular, have bettermental health, better physicalhealth, better behaviour, lessstress, longer life. All thosethings go with the good life.”Baumeister says you can

strengthen your self controlevery day and advises parents tostart teaching this skill early onin life.“Start making changes in

your life. Start small, find someminor things that bothers you ormakes you unhappy and changethat. Then once you’vemadethat change then identifyanother. Big things like getting adivorce or quitting smoking, putthose off for a little bit build upyour self control strength.“Forget about self esteem,

concentrate on self control. It’sthe best gift you can give yourchild. It makes them a betterperson and is better for society.”

NewEngland Journal ofMedicinewas the first tomeasure the effectiveness of avaccine Shanchol in response toa cholera outbreak under fieldconditions, in Guinea.Previously, the vaccine had beentested only under experimentalconditions in India.The research in Guinea, by

DoctorsWithout Borders(Medecins Sans Frontieres),involvedmore than 300,000doses of the two-dose vaccine,administered during a choleraoutbreak in 2012. It was 82 to 86per cent effective, and had few

side effects.However, researchers were

unable to compare one versustwo doses in preventing cholera,and it remains unknown howlong the vaccine can remaineffective at room temperature.“Furthermore, can Shanchol

be used in pregnancy and inchildren younger than 1 year ofage?” asked a pair of doctors inHaiti and the United States, in anaccompanying article.“AlthoughWHO

recommendations suggesttargeting pregnant women athigh risk for cholera, themanufacturer has not approveduse of the vaccine in pregnancy,and there are no guidelines forchildren under 1 year old.”Three cholera vaccines are

currently on the worldmarket.Shanchol is less expensive andeasier to store than anotherleading vaccine, Dukoral, andthe two are comparable in termsof effectiveness.Shanchol costs US$1.85 ($2.15)

a dose, compared to Dukoral atUS$5.25. Bothmay offer someprotection against cholera for upto five years.TheWorld Health

Olive leaf extract - nature’s extraordinary immune support

As 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 disease-causing micro-organisms including bacteria, fungi, mould, parasites, viruses and even yeast infections. As well as this, olive leaf has immune-enhancing bene� ts by activating immune cells that � ght 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 � us, pneumonia, tuberculosis, herpes, shingles, urinary infections, yeast infections and much more. It has also been found bene� cial for

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 o� en 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 e� ective cardiovascular tonic, helping normalise high blood pressure, improve cholesterol quality, improve heartbeat irregularities, improve blood � ow and vascular disorders.

Vitamin C is responsible for the formation, maintenance and repair of collagen - the substance that forms the foundation of

skin, ligaments, cartilage, vertebral discs, joint linings, capillary walls and the bones and teeth. It is also important for adrenal function and the release of stress hormones. It is a powerful antioxidant, helping protect our cells from damage and ageing. It stimulates the immune system and helps prevent and treat infections and other diseases,

Vitamin C - a powerful antioxidant

including chronic diseases like cancer. It is also extremely important for cardiovascular health. Research shows it helps strengthen the arteries and capillaries, improve blood � ow, reduce high blood pressure and prevent abnormal blood clotting. One study found that men who consume 300 to 400 milligrams of vitamin C per day have an average of 45 fewer deaths from heart attacks.

New hope in cholera scourgeA 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 bacte-ria, 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 vac-cine, 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 tempera-ture.

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 pro-tection against cholera for up to five years.

EFFECTIVE: Researchers have developed an oral vaccine which is 86 per cent effective in preventing cholera infection.

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 them-selves 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.

Serviced by specialists: Brent at City South Van Spares.

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 con-cept 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 four-cylinder 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 ever-increasing 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 pet-rol engine doesn’t always operate, depending on load and battery charge the electric motor power

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 sta-blemates, but it does have a respect-able 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, throt-tle 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 hes-itation 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 compro-mised 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 con-trols. 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 navi-gation, heated and cooling seats, Mark Levinson audio and paddle shift gearbox levers on the steering wheel. The latter work with a con-tinuously variable automatic trans-mission, a similar type to that uti-lised 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 reg-isters 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.

OPTIONS: Four-cylinder and V6 engines for the Lexus IS range. The IS300h gets a hybrid driveline.

The Star Home Show was a huge success for us. The patrons were genuinely interested in building/renovating... The event was well organised, publicised and well attended...

Paul WaltonThe Granite Benchtop Company

We were impressed with the quality of the leads gathered at The Star Home Show. We found visitors had done their research before attending the show, they even came prepared with questions & house plans. Exhibiting at the show was the best way for us to further demonstrate to these visitors the benefits of our systems.

Wendy Shephard, Marketing Manager Central Heating New Zealand

Thanks for the fantastic show. Sold out on Sunday afternoon and sent an empty van back to Tauranga. Well worth the trip!
