Top 16 Masterchef contestant Aaron Brunet at home in front of his pizza oven

SOD\HG WKH GDXJKWHU RI WKH FHQWUDO ÂżJXUH in  the  New  Zealand   mystery  thriller  series  â€˜This  Is  Not  My  Life’.   With  Ariana’s  drive  and  determination,  explained  Aaron,  the  least  he  could  do  was  take  up  a  challenge  he  felt  passionate  about  himself. The  whole  Brunet  family  obviously  love  a  good  challenge  as  Aaron’s  wife,   Ani,  is  currently  facing  an  even  â€œmore  dauntingâ€?  assignment  as  she  trains  up  for  the  100-­kilometre  Oxfam  Trailwalker Â

event  down-­country  in  April.  Aaron  told  the  Chronicle  he  enjoys  cooking  so  much  that,  with  his  daughter  into  her  teens,  he’d  love  now  to  work  with  food  as  a  main  occupation.  And  he’s  hoping  his  creations  under  the  glare  of  three  of  the  toughest  judges  in  the  culinary  world,  and  thousands  of  armchair  critics,  might  just  take  him  towards  that  goal.   Catch  MasterChef  New  Zealand  on  Sundays,  TV  One  at  7.30pm.  Edith  Symes

Aspiring  chef  Aaron  Brunet’s  got  more  reason  than  most  to  tune  into  the  telly  on  Sunday  nights:   it’s  a  chance  to  relive  his  recent  performances  as  a  contestant  on  a  top-­ rating  reality  show.  Two  episodes  in,  the  Raglan  42-­year-­ ROGÂśV MXVW EHFRPH RQH RI ÂżQDOLVWV RQ MasterChef  New  Zealand’s  latest  series.   And  ZKLOH D FRQÂżGHQWLDOLW\ DJUHHPHQW SUHYHQWV him  letting  anything  out  of  the  bag,  Aaron  does  reveal  that  things  really  â€œstart  to  heat  upâ€?  from  here  on  in. Last  Sunday’s  episode  of  the  show  â€“  which  saw  eight  of  the  original  24  contestants  eliminated  â€“  had  some  â€œpretty  nerve-­rackingâ€?  challenges  dished  up,  Aaron  admitted  this  week  from  his  Wainui  Road  home.  7KHUH ZHUH GHÂżQLWHO\ D IHZ VXUSULVHV LQ the  pressure-­cooker  environment.  â€œYou’ve  got  no  idea  what  to  expect!â€?  he  said. But  the  IT  consultant  seemed  to  keep  his  cool  in  front  of  the  cameras.  Focusing  and  QRW JHWWLQJ Ă€XVWHUHG LV WKH NH\ KH LQVLVWV There  are  still  15  more  episodes,  any  one  of  which  could  see  Aaron  eliminated,  but  it’s  obvious  now  to  viewers  that  Aaron  will  have  got  to  live  in  the  MasterChef  house,  a  clifftop  mansion  looking  out  to  Rangitoto  from  Auckland’s  North  Shore.   But  only  Aaron  and  those  closely  involved  with  the  show  know  for  how  long,  and  of  course  no-­one’s  saying. Aaron  says  he  was  always  keen  on  the  kitchen  as  a  child  and  loved  helping  his  mother,  who  was  from  northern  Italy.   He  started  cooking  on  his  own  as  a  teen  but  QHYHU VHULRXVO\ WKRXJKW DERXW FKHIÂżQJ XQWLO a  decade  or  so  ago  when  daughter  Ariana  was  a  toddler. By  then  however  he  could  see  it  was  an  â€œunsociableâ€?  sort  of  job  for  a  family  man  like  himself. But  as  an  avid  fan  of  the  MasterChef  series  â€“  now  in  its  fourth  season  â€“  Aaron  jumped  at  the  chance  to  try  out  for  a  show  which  attracts  more  than  1000  home  cooks  each  year.  â€œWhat  have  I  got  to  lose?â€?  he  asked  himself.   And  having  applied  he  could  scarcely  bottle  out  as  he’d  seen  his  own  daughter,  now  13,  front  up  to  the  cameras  a  few  years  ago  when  as  a  child  actress  she Â

SAR duo always packed and ready to go bush Blair  Hanna  and  Matt  Hassard  can  go  bush  for  days  on  end  at  a  moment’s  notice  â€“  and  their  bosses  don’t  mind  a  bit. That’s  because  the  pair  â€“  one  a  Raglan  real  estate  DJHQW WKH RWKHU D :KDWDZKDWD SOXPEHU DQG JDVÂżWWHU who  does  a  lot  of  his  work  here  in  town  â€“  are  local  members  of  Search  and  Rescue  (SAR).  Their  unpaid  efforts  in  callouts  at  any  time  of  day  or  night  can  potentially  mean  the  difference  between  life  and  death. “Every  minute  you  wait  increases  the  distance  of  the  search  area,â€?  says  Matt,  who  with  10  years’  experience  behind  him  is  an  old  hand  at  land-­based  search  and  rescue  missions. In  fact  as  operations  co-­ordinator,  Matt’s  FRQÂżGHQW WKDW ZLWKLQ KDOI DQ KRXU RI D SROLFH FDOO demanding  an  immediate  response  â€œwe  could  get  20  of  us  out  here  from  Hamiltonâ€?. That’s  from  Hamilton’s  pool  of  45  or  50  volunteers  like  himself  to  call  on,  both  men  and  women,  prepared  to  do  what  it  takes  anywhere  in  the  Waikato. It  might  be  to  search  for  lost  tourists  on  Mt  Karioi  which  has  not  been  uncommon  in  the  past  six  months,  Matt  adds.  It  could  equally  be  a  couple  of  pighunters  overdue  around  Waingaroa,  trampers  missing  on  Pirongia  or  someone  who’s  broken  their  leg  in  the  bush,  requiring  a  â€œstretch  and  carryâ€?  exercise. And  while  volunteers  are  sometimes  put  on  standby,  with  time  to  prepare  themselves,  they’re  expected  always  to  have  their  own  survival  packs  ready  for  emergencies.  Everything  from  boots  and  torches  to  tents,  cookers  and  sleeping  bags  are  included  in  the  average  14-­16  kilo  pack,  says  Matt,  WR HQVXUH HDFK PHPEHU RI WKH WHDP LV VHOI VXIÂżFLHQW for  at  least  24  hours  in  the  bush.  7HDPV FDQ EH JRQH IRU DQ\WKLQJ XS WR ÂżYH GD\V Matt  explains,  and  are  often  choppered  into  dense  bush  in  rough  weather.  And  occasionally  they  must  deal  with  back-­to-­back  callouts.  Hamilton  SAR  recently  deployed  a  team  at  midnight  to  Maungatautari,  and  then  at  six  in  the  morning  to  Karioi.  â€œThere’s  no  pattern,â€?  Matt  adds  of  the  15  to  20  callouts  each  year.   SAR  could  be  called  out  three  times  in  one  week,  for  instance,  and  then  not  again Â

Search and Rescue duo: Matt Hassard and Blair Hanna for  another  couple  of  months.   â€œNew  boyâ€?  Blair  Hanna,  as  Matt  jokingly  calls  him,  reckons  his  24-­hour  SDFN Âą NHSW LQ KLV FDU RXWVLGH WKH RIÂżFH Âą still  needs  to  be  tested  however.   â€œBring  it  on,â€?  says  Blair,  who’s  keen  to  get  into  the  bush  after  not  much  more  than  an  â€œurbanâ€?  callout  so  far  in  which  the  search  for  someone  missing  takes  place  in  the  streets. Blair  was  one  of  28  who  trained  up  last  year  at  Te  Akau  on  an  overnight  Search  and  Rescue  Exercise  (SAREX)  coordinated  by  Matt,  whose  job  it  is  to  â€œput  new  people Â

through  their  pacesâ€?.  Raglan  Coastguard  transported  the  volunteers  across-­harbour. Typically,  says  Matt,  volunteers  like  Blair  love  the  outdoors  and  are  expected  to  EH UHDVRQDEO\ ÂżW DV ZHOO DV WR KDYH EDVLF bush  experience  and  navigation  skills.  Then  they’re  â€œwhipped  into  shapeâ€?,  Blair  told  the  Chronicle,  through  an  induction  process  over  months.  But  for  all  the  so-­called  â€œtoughening  upâ€?  involved,  Blair  reckons  it  beats  being  in  front  of  the  computer  all  day  and  it’s  good  to  â€œdo  something  for  the  communityâ€?. Matt  agrees.  The  day  job  can  be Â

shelved,  families  learn  to  live  with  untimely  interruptions  and,  yes,  â€œit’s  always  good  to  give  back  to  your  communityâ€?. Finding  people,  especially  children,  is  the  best  thing  about  Search  and  Rescue,  Matt  insists.  And  the  job’s  one  of  the  few  that  has  the  satisfaction  of  total  closure  â€“  one  way  or  another  â€“  even  if  a  missing  person’s  sometimes  found  a  little  further  down  the  track  than  during  the  initial  callout.
