Support mounts for skate ramp<br />
SUMNER RESIDENTS have<br />
come out strongly for the<br />
Wakefield Ave skate ramp to be<br />
left where it is.<br />
Last week, <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News<br />
reported concerns of Sumner Re<br />
Treat owners Chris and Roydon<br />
Gage-Smart who said the skate<br />
ramp had created serious noise<br />
issues and was impacting on<br />
their business.<br />
But reaction to their bid to<br />
move the skate ramp to another<br />
site has been swift and sharp.<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News has<br />
received numerous readers’<br />
responses – the vast majority<br />
saying it needs to stay where it is.<br />
(See responses pages 4 and 5).<br />
City council head of<br />
compliance Tracey Weston said a<br />
noise reading had not been taken<br />
for the skate ramp because it had<br />
not been used in the past week<br />
or so.<br />
“Council will continue to be<br />
in regular contact with the principal<br />
complainant to determine<br />
when the ramp is in use to enable<br />
effective monitoring.”<br />
The ramp was not consented,<br />
so this month the city<br />
council ordered it to be either<br />
removed, consented or reduced<br />
in size.<br />
But that order was put on hold,<br />
after the city council discovered<br />
it had been built using a transitional<br />
city grant.<br />
The ramp’s future will be<br />
decided when the noise test had<br />
been completed, but it is unknown<br />
when that will be done.<br />
Mrs Gage-Smart said the ramp<br />
had been much quieter since last<br />
week’s story featured.<br />
“The whole decision of the<br />
notified or non-notified consent<br />
is resting on him [noise control<br />
officer] getting a reading, but<br />
the kids just aren’t there making<br />
enough noise.”<br />
She had been told to call the<br />
city council when it was noisy,<br />
she said.<br />
“We don’t mind the ramp, we<br />
just don’t want it on our front<br />
door.”<br />
The Sumner Community Residents’<br />
Association has agreed to<br />
lock the ramp between 9.30pm<br />
and 8am each day to prevent<br />
noise at night.<br />
Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />
Community Board member<br />
Darrell Latham said a permanent<br />
location for a skate park was<br />
needed urgently.<br />

FROM<br />
THE<br />
EDITOR’S<br />
DESK<br />
THERE’S BEEN a big reaction to<br />
our front page article last week on<br />
the Wakefield Ave skate park.<br />
And almost all of the readers<br />
who have responded want the park<br />
to stay where it is (see page 1, and<br />
for reaction pages 4-5).<br />
Of course <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News has<br />
been given a serve for our coverage<br />
– some of it Trump-like possibly?<br />
Ouch!<br />
We of course were reporting<br />
the concerns of a business couple<br />
who want the skate park shifted,<br />
and they have the right to air their<br />
views.<br />
Today we also report on Edith<br />
Cavell Lifecare resident Jean<br />
Thompson who has celebrated her<br />
100th birthday.<br />
Jean spent decades protesting<br />
against war and in a time when it<br />
was more than just frowned on. She<br />
also plays bowls at the rest home.<br />

New principal<br />
appointed for<br />
Lyttelton<br />
Primary<br />
School<br />
TO GO: These properties on Nayland St were bought to create<br />
a car park for Matuku Takotako: Sumner Centre.<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
NEARLY $1 million has been<br />
spent on land to create a new car<br />
park in Sumner.<br />
The city council spent<br />
$900,000 on buying two properties<br />
on Nayland St to create a<br />
car park for Matuku Takotako:<br />
Sumner Centre, which is currently<br />
under construction.<br />
The properties, 31 and 33 Nayland<br />
St, cost one-tenth of the $10<br />
million budget for the centre, on<br />
the corner of Wakefield Ave and<br />
Nayland St.<br />
City council property consultancy<br />
manager Angus Smith<br />
said it bought the two properties<br />
to support its application<br />
when applying for the centre’s<br />
resource consent.<br />
The centre includes a new<br />
community centre, library and<br />
museum and is expected to be<br />
completed in April.<br />
COMING ALONG: The two properties will be used for a car<br />
park for the new Matuku Takotako: Sumner Centre, which is<br />
due to open in April.<br />
$1m bid to overcome parking woes<br />
The properties will provide<br />
between 20 and 30 car parks,<br />
depending on final design, Mr<br />
Smith said.<br />
Since the Sumner Village<br />
Master Plan was brought in to<br />
redevelop the area, the loss of<br />
car parking has been a contentious<br />
issue within the community.<br />
As part of the plan, parking<br />
in the village would be reduced<br />
by 26 spaces. Once the plan goes<br />
ahead there will only be six car<br />
parks on Wakefield Ave.<br />
Last month, the Linwood-<br />
Central-Heathcote Community<br />
Board voted to relocate the existing<br />
bus stop on the bend of<br />
Marriner St and Wakefield Ave<br />
to outside Stoked Surf Shop and<br />
other businesses on Wakefield<br />
Ave.<br />
That will also see the removal<br />
of three on-street car parks<br />
outside those stores.<br />
LYTTELTON Primary<br />
School will have a new<br />
principal when school starts on<br />
Monday.<br />
Brendan Wright was<br />
previously principal at Hanmer<br />
Springs School.<br />
The school, a merger of the<br />
former<br />
Lyttelton<br />
Main and<br />
Lyttelton<br />
West schools,<br />
operated<br />
from two<br />
different<br />
sites for two<br />
years before<br />
opening on<br />
Brendan Wright<br />
the same site in May last year.<br />
Mr Wright’s appointment<br />
followed the resignation of<br />
former principal Diana Feary<br />
last year, after a number of<br />
complaints from parents<br />
about management,<br />
communication, teacher morale<br />
and the impact on children’s<br />
education.<br />

Lyttelton’s festival season<br />
Project<br />
Lyttelton event<br />
co-ordinator<br />
Lucette Hindin<br />
talks about<br />
the upcoming<br />
activities<br />
at this year’s Lyttelton<br />
SummerFest<br />
Everyone likes the idea of<br />
learning something new. But<br />
making time for creativity often<br />
comes last these days. Busy lives<br />
mean self-expression, imagination<br />
and fun can fall off the bottom<br />
of the priority list.<br />
If you can relate to this, the<br />
Creative Sampler might be for<br />
you. It’s a day of short, creative,<br />
taster workshops that Project<br />
Lyttelton is organising for Lyttelton<br />
SummerFest.<br />
The sampler is a day of speed<br />
workshops starting on the hour<br />
and lasting 45 minutes each.<br />
Four workshops run each hour,<br />
with a total of 20 offered. You<br />
can dabble, get a taste for something<br />
you are interested in, and<br />
come and go throughout the day,<br />
without the commitment of a<br />
longer or weekly class.<br />
The second new event in the<br />
SummerFest this year is the Big<br />
Whakaraupo Lyttelton Community<br />
Barbecue on The Grassy.<br />
Planned as a farewell to summertime,<br />
it’ll be on March 5. There<br />
will be a bouncy castle, heritage<br />
games, a licensed bar and<br />
barbecues to cook up your own<br />
favourite food, plus local DJs will<br />
be providing sounds. There will<br />
be a simultaneous party at the<br />
pool next door too.<br />
SummerFest will also feature<br />
the fifth Strange Bedfellows at<br />
the Lyttelton Arts Factory on<br />
February 26. With a whole new<br />
group of artists mixing it up<br />
together and presided over by the<br />
inimitable Viktor Kropotski, the<br />
premise is ‘what happens when<br />
my art form meets yours?’ See local<br />
creative folk taking risks and<br />

others in fresh unexpected ways.<br />
SummerFest’s goal is to bring<br />
people together through the arts,<br />
music and broad appeal social<br />
events. We also list other community<br />
events in the programme<br />
to help promote all the wonderful<br />
things that are happening in<br />
our community this summer.<br />

We said:<br />
Apartment owners near<br />
the skate ramp on the<br />
bend of Marriner St and<br />
Wakefield Ave in Sumner<br />
are upset about the<br />
amount of noise users are<br />
causing and want the ramp<br />
to go<br />
You said:<br />
Sarah Agnew – I really<br />
enjoyed reading your very biased<br />
article this morning. It’s sad<br />
once again that you give such<br />
a negative light on something<br />
in our community that has functioned<br />
without any problems for<br />
more than four years. We have<br />
been campaigning tirelessly to<br />
get these kids a permanent place<br />
to skate and this will just stuff<br />
this completely. Yes, there was<br />
a noise problem and we very<br />
quickly put a group of people<br />
together to lock the ramp and<br />
unlock it everyday and every<br />
night. You didn’t write this at the<br />
start of your article did you? It’s<br />
a shame the media has the power<br />
with no facts of the situation<br />
to portray what is happening in<br />
a community. The ramp needs<br />
to stay! What will the kids do?<br />
At any one day, there are easily<br />
more than 100 kids that use that<br />
ramp. That’s all I have to say.<br />
Erin Baker – For as long as<br />
I can remember, 20 years plus,<br />
there have been attempts to<br />
have a skate park in sumner.<br />
Sumner had always been a community<br />
that attracts young<br />
families to our healthy outdoors<br />
environment. During the<br />
same period, there has always<br />
been complaints by groups or<br />
individuals about the location<br />
of a skate park. It’s time that the<br />
greater good wins out in this<br />
issue. What residents and groups<br />
sometimes fail to understand is<br />
that these various activities of<br />
skateboarding, surfing, biking<br />
etc keep youth active, engaged<br />
and out of trouble. We do not<br />
see Sumner youth out vandalising<br />
or spray painting fences at<br />
night and we don’t see broken<br />
glass and litter strewn through<br />
Sumner each morning. Too long<br />
now we have had individuals<br />
making unsubstantiated statements<br />
about the effect of a skate<br />
park. The last person to make<br />
such a complaint has now set up<br />
a freedom camping free for all<br />
on the corner of the Esplanade<br />
and Marriner St.<br />

Yet another example of<br />
self-serving individualism.<br />
The community board and<br />
council should stop worrying<br />
about ‘keeping their jobs at the<br />
next election’ and get on and<br />
make a decision for the youth of<br />
our community.<br />
Danella Rielly – It’s actually<br />
a fantastic spot as it’s just an<br />
empty lot. I can grab a coffee<br />
next door and watch my kids.<br />
The apartments are next to<br />
restaurants on the main road.<br />
Noise was always going to be a<br />
factor. My four, five and sevenyear-old<br />
get hours of fun from it.<br />
Karen Letchford-Cross –<br />
Kids can’t win . . . skate and they<br />
are ‘purposely causing noise’<br />
or stay inside and the wowsers<br />
whinge about kids spending<br />
all their time on a screen! Look<br />
at Washington Reserve in<br />
Christchurch, loads of skaters<br />
and having fun! Yes, there will<br />
always be some ‘bad element’<br />
but don’t tar all the kids with the<br />
same brush!<br />
Stephanie Hagerty – It’s<br />
a catch 22 really. The kids need<br />
something to do other than<br />
vandalising or creating mayhem<br />
but you want to live in a peaceful<br />
neighbourhood. Perhaps there<br />
could be a shut off time for week<br />
(days) and later on weekends.<br />
Charlotte Anne Dooley<br />
– Would have been much noisier<br />
at night when the Ruptured Duck<br />
(Pizzeria) was there – it’s zoned<br />
commercial so always going to be<br />
noisy – lucky for the residents it’s<br />
only during the daytime! Live in<br />
a residentially-zoned area if you<br />
don’t like it.<br />
Kirsty Rueppell – The skate<br />
ramp is a lot more appealing than<br />
those hideous apartments that<br />
would be more suited to the Gold<br />
Coast. You’ve picked the wrong<br />
crew to do battle with. Sumner<br />
wants/deserves a skate ramp.<br />
Thank you to the team who are<br />
backing this and continue to fight<br />
tirelessly in a voluntary capacity.<br />
Thank you to the locals happily<br />
locking up/unlocking each day.<br />
It’s such a great community to be<br />
a part of. City council is slowly<br />
but surely starting to realise this.<br />
Gavin French – If you’re<br />
going to live in a built up area,<br />
expect noise. Pay for triple<br />
glassed windows to give you<br />
quiet. Stop trying to rule other<br />
people’s lives and get real.<br />
Tiffany Burke – Put a<br />
curfew on it, not sure how it’ll be<br />
enforced, maybe a call to noise<br />
control if people are skating past<br />
the curfew. At least these kids are<br />
outside and active, not glued to a<br />
screen!<br />
Nicola Clark – It’s a healthy<br />
activity for the kids.<br />
Ben Perkins – I lived in<br />
Sumner for like six months and<br />
saw that in use maybe three<br />
times, all in the afternoon. It is<br />
within a 20 second walk from the<br />
coast, where half the tourists in<br />
Christchurch can be found, it’s<br />
literally in the middle of a shopping<br />
centre, and there aren’t even<br />
any houses next to it! It’s in the<br />
carpark of a cafe! Whoever wants<br />
this gone, needs to be gone.<br />
You’re crying about nothing.<br />
Alan Hane – Looks like wood<br />
and plywood no wonder it’s<br />
noisy. Needs to be concrete.<br />
Fleur Chalk – Maybe those<br />
people in the apartment should<br />
give skating a try.<br />
Sam Glassey – Build a<br />
proper skate park? Would do better<br />
than removing it all together.<br />
Chelsea Berry – Can’t the<br />
ramp be moved somewhere?<br />
Maybe extended as compensation<br />
for the inconvenience to the<br />
boarders.<br />
Michael Cochrane<br />
– Pathetic. Probably going to be<br />
moaning about the vandalism<br />
that will no doubt happen to the<br />
apartments when it gets taken<br />
away.<br />
Jess Howie – Always someone<br />
to complain about kids having<br />
fun – my thought was all that<br />
sand ruining your bearings.<br />
Penny Conaghan – Some<br />
people just need something to<br />
complain about.<br />
Timo Costelloe – Tell the<br />
apartment heads to chill out<br />
Leonie Underdown – What<br />
a pity it can’t be solved.<br />
Michael Cook – What a<br />
stupid place for a ramp.<br />
Nikita Woodford – Let them<br />
skate!<br />
Grayson Rae – No way?!<br />
Noise in a busy looking area?! No<br />
way?!<br />
Joanne Parker, Sumner<br />
– In my opinion, I would rather<br />
walk past a skateboard facility for<br />
people my age (46) than<br />
be subject to odd start<br />
up businesses that don’t<br />
last in Sumner and are not<br />
thinking about the health of the<br />
community. The reason people<br />
move to Sumner is because of<br />
the vibrant options for all age<br />
groups, and good community<br />
communication.<br />
This community co-exists<br />
because there is space for<br />
everyone. The Sumner<br />
Community Residents’<br />
Association must continue to<br />

Recognition for Lyttelton restaurant<br />
Roots makes<br />
world’s best<br />
fine-dining list<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
DON’T BOTHER trying to<br />
find a menu for Lyttelton<br />
restaurant Roots – it doesn’t<br />
have one.<br />
In spite of that, it still managed<br />
to land a placing on the<br />
prestigious list of the world’s<br />
1000 best eateries, La Liste.<br />
The coveted list is a restaurant<br />
guide compiled from hundreds<br />
of guidebooks and online review<br />
sites of the world’s 1000 top<br />
restaurants.<br />
Eight New Zealand restaurants<br />
made the list and Roots was the<br />
only one outside of Auckland to<br />
make the cut.<br />
It’s an honour for owner and<br />
head chef, Chilean national Giulio<br />
Sturla, who only celebrated<br />
Roots fourth anniversary last<br />
November.<br />
“It’s been such a short period<br />
of time and we’ve achieved so<br />
much already but we’ve just<br />
started,” he said.<br />
“We’re so new we feel we can<br />
do more, so it’s reinforcing that<br />
we’re doing the right thing and<br />
TOP NOSH: Giulio Sturla’s Lyttelton restaurant Roots has been named in La Liste, which ranks<br />
the top 1000 eateries in the world.<br />

this is pushing us to do go even<br />
further.”<br />
Mr Sturla, who has worked<br />
in restaurants in Mexico, the<br />
United States, Jamaica, Ecuador,<br />
Chile and Spain moved to New<br />
Zealand in 2009 with his wife<br />
Christy Martin.<br />
The pair opened up Roots<br />
in 2012 and created a dining<br />
experience different to most by<br />
removing the menus and relying<br />
heavily on local produce.<br />
“We wanted to do something<br />
completely different people<br />
haven’t seen before,” he said.<br />
With that in mind, he started<br />
creating fresh dishes daily out of<br />
whatever Mother Nature had to<br />
offer.<br />
Nearly five years on, Mr Sturla<br />
still relies on seasonal vegetables<br />
and fresh fish and meat to create<br />
his seasonal five, eight and<br />
12-course dinners.<br />
“People like eating several<br />
courses, with several colours<br />
and textures over a longer<br />
period of time instead of just<br />
one big plate in one sitting,” he<br />
explains.<br />
“I knew people disliked a<br />
lot of foods like seafood and<br />
mushrooms and I wondered how<br />
people could dislike something<br />
that tasted so good,” he said.<br />
“The moment you read something<br />
on a menu, you’ll decide<br />
whether you like it and if you<br />
want to eat it. The moment it’s<br />
on the plate you have a different<br />
appreciation of what you have.<br />
We play a little with people’s<br />
minds to show them that food<br />
they thought they didn’t like can<br />
be good. Trust me, I’m not going<br />
to serve you bad food – I’m a<br />
chef.”<br />
Auckland-based restaurants<br />
The French Cafe, The Grove,<br />
Sidart, Kazuya, Cocoro, Merediths<br />
and Baduzzi also feature<br />
on La Liste.<br />

Advertorial<br />
Canterbury Aero Club provides a<br />
wide variety of training and offers a<br />
wealth of experience. As one of the<br />
oldest aero clubs in New Zealand, it’s<br />
the place to go for all things aviation:<br />
from one-off introductory flights, to<br />
private licences and right through to<br />
commercial licences. It is also home to<br />
the International Aviation Academy<br />
of New Zealand, which runs a range<br />
of programmes to train commercial<br />
pilots. Members enjoy free rein of the<br />
club’s premises, which overlooks the<br />
Christchurch Airport runway, and are<br />
given access to club’s planes. Imagine<br />
taking to the skies with the family in<br />
tow!<br />
If you’ve ever had a Top Gun fantasy,<br />
phone Canterbury Aero Club and<br />
book yourself an Introductory Flight<br />
Lesson. For a very reasonable $150,<br />
you will be in the air before you<br />
know it, and have a great<br />
conversation starter for years<br />
to come.<br />
Urban Myth #1<br />
Flying a plane is really<br />
difficult.<br />
Urban Myth #2<br />
It’s really expensive – I need<br />
to be the CEO of Microsoft to<br />
afford that.<br />
Kate Preece tells us about<br />
her experience:<br />
Flying a plane was never<br />
something I thought I could do.<br />
I assumed it was well beyond<br />
my skill level and would send<br />
the budget into a tailspin.<br />
However, I was very wrong.<br />
Canterbury Aero Club takes<br />
the difficulty out of flying. Anyone can<br />
fly a plane, and they’re<br />
quick to let you know<br />
that’s the case. The<br />
qualified team are<br />
experts at banishing<br />
self doubt, and treat<br />
this unfathomable feat<br />
as a walk in the park.<br />
I had no experience in<br />
aviation, yet I taxied a<br />
four-seater plane, took<br />
off, flew out to Banks<br />
Peninsula, and landed.<br />
With an instructor<br />
beside you, there’s<br />
always a safety net, and never an issue.<br />
Taking a flying lesson should be on<br />
everyone’s bucket list. Why? Why not!<br />
-Kate Preece<br />
Becoming a recreational pilot operates<br />
on a ‘pay as you go’ system, so there’s<br />
no big outlay. In fact, a typical flight<br />
will cost you around the same as a<br />
day’s skiing. Kids and partners are<br />
welcome at the club and the facilities<br />
make for a great place to hang out and<br />
be entertained.<br />
The reception is manned seven days<br />
a week by flight instructors who are<br />
more than happy to help with any<br />
questions.<br />

Market Comment with Craig Prier<br />
Just as we are all getting used to shorts and jandals, bbq’s and the beach the New Year rolls<br />
around and we are straight back into work mode. Hopefully you all enjoyed some time<br />
away from work with your family and friends and you are still sporting the remnants of a<br />
summer tan!<br />
Invariably Christmas holidays are the time that real estate decisions are made. As people<br />
have time to talk without the pressures of work there are discussions around whether this<br />
is the year to shift house, move into a particular school zone, trade up or trade down as<br />
your particular needs change, maybe look at buying an investment property or perhaps you<br />
have a job transfer looming. Whatever your reasons for change are this is the time of year where<br />
we see the most activity in the market.<br />
So with that in mind we suggest you make contact with your real estate agent early. Our team is back on board and<br />
currently taking property bookings for our February and March Auction and Deadline Sale campaigns. We have a<br />
number of marketing packages available that may suit your property or we can design an exclusive campaign tailor<br />
made just for your property. Call any one of our team today to talk it through.<br />

Water Safety Tips<br />
Our newest agent, and long time surf lifesaver Eddie Spry<br />
is passionate about water safety. Here he shares his tips<br />
on rips, one of the biggest dangers at the beach; a strong<br />
current of water running out to sea.<br />
Take two minutes today to brush up on how to identity a<br />
rip, and what to do if you get caught in one:<br />
Features of a rip:<br />
1. Discoloured or murky water caused by stirred up sand<br />
2. A smoother surface with much smaller waves, larger<br />
waves breaking on either side<br />
3. Debris floating out to sea<br />
4. A rippled look, when the water around is generally<br />
calm<br />

If you get caught in a rip:<br />
1. Try not to panic<br />
2. Don’t try to swim against the rip back to shore<br />
3. Let the rip caryy you out until the current subsides<br />
4. Then swim parallel to the beach for 30-40m before you<br />
swim back to shore<br />

Protester bowling along at 100<br />
• By Caitlin Miles<br />
TURNING 100 wasn’t going<br />
to stop Jean Thompson playing<br />
indoor bowls with friends and<br />
family on Friday.<br />
Mrs Thompson lives at Edith<br />
Cavell Lifecare in Sumner and<br />
celebrated her birthday playing<br />
bowls and folk dancing.<br />
Over the decades Mrs Thompson<br />
has been a lifelong advocate<br />
for peace and has never shirked<br />
from protesting against what she<br />
believed in, including the 1981<br />
Springbok tour when she was in<br />
her mid-60s.<br />
“One time we were sitting<br />
protesting the war (World War<br />
2) and I refused to move, then<br />
a police officer came along<br />
and told me to move, I think<br />
I did quickly after that,” Mrs<br />
Thompson said.<br />
Protesting against the war was<br />
not the fashionable thing to do<br />
in the 1940s, but that didn’t stop<br />
Mrs Thompson.<br />
That attitude changed with the<br />
Vietnam War in the late 1960s<br />
and early 70s, when her late<br />
husband Noel also joined in the<br />
protest.<br />
She also campaigned to keep<br />
New Zealand nuclear free.<br />
“It was always important to<br />
stand for peace,” she said.<br />
Her daughter, Janet Thompson,<br />
told <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News it was<br />
amazing that she was so strong<br />
in her views as a young female<br />
during World War 2.<br />
“For her to stand up like that<br />
it was pretty incredible,” Janet<br />
Thompson said.<br />
Mrs Thompson was 17 when<br />
he met her husband, Noel, she<br />
was short at 1.5m tall, while Noel<br />
was much taller.<br />
“My father used to laugh<br />
because she had to stand on a<br />
step to be able to kiss him good<br />
night,” she said.<br />
Mrs Thompson trained as a<br />
teacher, working in Woolston<br />
before she had three children,<br />
Tom, Bruce and Janet.<br />
Now she has turned 100, Mrs<br />
Thompson still insists on enjoying<br />
the sunshine when she can,<br />
enjoying the warmth on her face,<br />
she said.<br />
STILL PLAYING: Jean Thompson’s 100 birthday celebrations<br />

Yulia to sing live at Ferrymead<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
WHEN YULIA’S mother<br />
passed away last year, the<br />
musician never thought she<br />
would sing again.<br />
She said it broke her into a<br />
million pieces.<br />
But now, the multi-platinum,<br />
best-selling artist is about to<br />
record her new album in front<br />
of a live audience in Ferrymead.<br />
It will be her first major work<br />
in New Zealand for 10 years because<br />
she took a break to have<br />
her two children.<br />
The album will be recorded in<br />
front of a live audience in two<br />
sessions at Ferrymead’s Orange<br />
Studios on February 3 and 4.<br />
A hundred tickets will be<br />
available for the two sessions.<br />
“The exclusivity of this event<br />
is comparable to an experience<br />
of Bluff oysters – available to a<br />
select few, first in, first served,”<br />
she said.<br />
The new album, which<br />
follows Into the West and Montage,<br />
will feature five of Yulia’s<br />
original songs. as well as covers<br />
of Lionel Richie and Leonard<br />
Cohen.<br />
She will be joined by guitarist<br />
Hanafi Machirus, Michael<br />
Russell on the trumpet, and<br />
Michael Story on the bass.<br />

NEW: Yulia will record her new album in front of a live studio next week, which will be her first<br />
major work in a decade.<br />
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
Yulia’s first self-produced album<br />
while she was at school, will<br />
master this one.<br />
She said it would be different<br />
to her previous music, but<br />
thought her fans would like it.<br />
“They are going to come out<br />
and think years down the track,<br />
I may not remember what she<br />
sang, or what she said, but I<br />
will always remember how she<br />
made me feel.”<br />
Yulia said the concerts would<br />
be in part dedicated to her<br />
mother, Galina, who died of<br />
cancer in July.<br />
“I feel it everyday.”<br />
The five songs in the new<br />
album were among about 12 she<br />
wrote in November 2015.<br />
She said it took about two<br />
weeks to write all of them,<br />
which were triggered when she<br />
returned to Christchurch and<br />
reunited with family.<br />
Yulia was born in Russia and<br />
emigrated to Christchurch with<br />
her mother in 2002.<br />
At 18-years-old she landed a<br />
deal with Sony before becoming<br />
the first female vocalist in the<br />
country to have two back-toback<br />

Agriculture provides a second<br />
AT THE end of its first year,<br />
19 people on community<br />
sentences with the Department<br />
of Corrections have become<br />
the first to graduate from a<br />
new agricultural skills training<br />
programme.<br />
They leave with qualifications<br />
– and the chance to change their<br />
lives. The ongoing project is a<br />
partnership between Lincoln<br />
University, Port Levy’s Koukourarata<br />
Marae and Community<br />
Corrections. It is intended to deliver<br />
practical horticultural skills<br />
with a focus on tikanga (Maori<br />
way of doing things).<br />
Corrections Canterbury lead<br />
service manager Katey Gibling<br />
said the intention was for offenders<br />
to reconnect with the land<br />
while gaining skills for employment<br />
and a taste for achievement<br />
and further training.<br />
“Many of those we work with<br />
are drifting, their lives have<br />
become chaotic and without<br />
purpose. Through this partnership,<br />
and projects like this, we<br />
help them to reconnect with their<br />
culture and find a way forward,”<br />
she said.<br />
“Lincoln provide the qualification<br />
and having them involved<br />
has helped the offenders see<br />
that this is a real qualification<br />
and they are very capable of<br />
MAKING A DIFFERENCE: Lincoln University’s biological husbandry unit manager Bill Martin (left),<br />

doing something they had never<br />
thought possible for them.”<br />
The 12 graduates were presented<br />
with certificates recognising<br />
proficiency in chainsaw operation,<br />
quad-bike driving, tractor<br />
driving and the use of farming<br />
implements.<br />
For Brent, the first graduate of<br />
the course, the programme has<br />
been truly life changing.<br />
“This programme was critical<br />
to me getting the confidence to<br />
have a go and get back in charge<br />
of my life,” he said.<br />
Last year, Brent was studying<br />
horticulture, then when things<br />
‘got stressful,’ he started to drink<br />
heavily and found himself on a<br />
community work sentence with a<br />
drink driving conviction.<br />
“When I committed my offences,<br />
I wasn’t thinking ahead.<br />
I was dealing with alcohol and<br />
anxiety issues. I was losing my<br />
friends, failing my studies. I was<br />
in a dark place and ended up on<br />
a community work sentence,” he<br />
said.<br />
“This programme was the first<br />
big mental shift for me. I started<br />
to plan forward again.<br />
“I did the chainsaw course<br />
thinking that it could make me<br />
more employable and I thought<br />
the quad bike training could also<br />
lead to something. It gave me the<br />
confidence to try again. I had<br />
gained these skills and thought, ‘I<br />
can do this’.”<br />
Brent said that in addition to<br />
starting to learn again, it was<br />
the mentoring support of the<br />
community work supervisor who<br />
helped him see opportunity.<br />
The project’s community<br />
work supervisor Reuben Gent<br />
said the partnership offered<br />
new opportunities for people on<br />
community work sentences to<br />
access skills and qualifications<br />
for employment. The tikanga<br />
element helped offenders<br />
reconnect with Maori principals<br />
and culture.<br />
“In addition to practical skills<br />
and work aptitudes, the offenders<br />
on the programme are gaining<br />
confidence and the personal<br />
skills and motivation to move on<br />
with their lives,” Mr Gent said.<br />

FISHERMAN’S<br />
WHARF<br />
“Working alongside each<br />
other provides time and opportunity<br />
to talk about what<br />
is going on in people’s lives.<br />
Projects like this work at many<br />
levels,” Mr Gent said.<br />
Koukourarata Marae representative<br />
Manaia Cunningham<br />
said he was very proud<br />
of the way the project was<br />
progressing and the difference<br />
it was making in the lives of<br />
the people working on it.<br />
“As a marae we are thrilled<br />
to support our community<br />
service whanau and we are<br />
here to support each other,”<br />
Mr Cunningham said.<br />
“This education programme<br />
has a Maori education framework<br />
that ensures everyone’s<br />
whakapapa is respected.”<br />
For some of those in the project,<br />
they will find the confidence<br />
and passion to continue<br />
their studies in a related field,<br />
for example, horticulture or<br />
forestry at Lincoln University.<br />
Bill Martin, manager of the<br />
biological husbandry unit, is<br />
the university’s delivery partner<br />
in the partnership.<br />
“This programme delivers<br />
skills that growers want,” Mr<br />
Martin said.<br />
“The people graduating from<br />
STUCK IN: People on community sentences with<br />
Corrections have been learning new agricultural skills,<br />
such as proficiency with a chainsaw.<br />
this programme have certificates<br />
of proficiency in useful<br />
skills.”<br />
The programme offers a way<br />
to engage in the community<br />
and partner in the Koukourarata<br />
gardens. While the<br />
initial programme was about<br />
rebuilding and shaping lives,<br />
the partnership has taken a<br />
new turn with the BHU engaging<br />
in a two-year research<br />
project to develop commercial<br />
seed lines of organic taewa, or<br />
Maori potatoes, and ensure<br />
their availability into the<br />
future.<br />
“Through this project, we<br />
will enable Koukourarata to<br />
develop commercial scale<br />
production of organic taewa,”<br />
Mr Martin said.<br />
The tikanga element of<br />
the programme also sat well<br />
with the university’s whenua<br />
strategy and recognition of the<br />
importance of engaging with<br />
Maori and Pasifika and the<br />
land.<br />
“Between the three partners<br />
we bring commitment, tikanga,<br />
the labour, the science and<br />
the will to make a difference to<br />
the future of this food source<br />
which is culturally significant<br />
to New Zealand, and especially<br />
to iwi,” Mr Martin said.<br />
“We are helping people<br />
reconnect with the earth,<br />
traditional planting and horticultural<br />
methods. It’s not just<br />
seeds we are growing. It’s ideas<br />
and futures.”<br />
As for Brent, he felt very<br />
positive about his future. He<br />
had returned to Lincoln to<br />
study landscape architecture<br />
and had completed and passed<br />
his first two papers.<br />
“I stuffed up so much for so<br />
long. I needed this, but I didn’t<br />
know I needed it. It seems<br />
strange to say, but it has been<br />
a really important experience<br />
for me,” he said.<br />
“My sentence gave me purpose.<br />
I came home feeling engaged<br />
and positive again. Since<br />
I have been on sentence, my<br />
whole life has turned around<br />
and Corrections has been a big<br />
part of this.”<br />

Rapaki Rd parking plan stalls<br />
• By Caitlin Miles<br />
A PLAN to ban parking on busy<br />
Rapaki Rd has been put on hold<br />
due to nearby residents’ concerns of<br />
the impact on surrounding streets.<br />
The road is the main access route<br />
to Rapaki Track, which is popular<br />
with walkers, runners and mountain<br />
bikers – causing issues for<br />
people who live on Rapaki Rd.<br />
In November, the city council<br />
proposed banning parking on<br />
Rapaki Rd due to ongoing concern<br />
from residents about safely accessing<br />
the street and their driveways.<br />
A parking ban on one side of<br />
Erewhon Tce was also included in<br />
the plan, because cars<br />
are often parked on that<br />
street if Rapaki Rd is full.<br />
The proposal was meant<br />
to go to the Spreydon-<br />
Cashmere Community<br />
Board next month for<br />
approval, but that will be<br />
put on hold.<br />
Following the submissions<br />
received, city council acting<br />
head of transport Steffan Thomas<br />
said the project has been put on<br />
hold due to concerns raised over<br />
how the surrounding roads will be<br />
effected by the ban.<br />
The city council received 93 submissions<br />
on the plans, 66 supported<br />
the idea, 24 were against and three<br />
submissions were unclear.<br />
Thirty of those submissions, both<br />
for and against the parking restrictions,<br />
were concerned over the<br />
impact on the surrounding streets,<br />
namely Vernon Tce.<br />
One submitter opposed the plans<br />
because Vernon Tce is “already<br />
dangerously congested” and banning<br />
parking on Rapaki Rd will<br />
only add to the congestion.<br />
A Vernon Tce resident said they<br />
were “terrified that restrictions<br />
proposed on Rapaki Rd will have<br />
an extremely detrimental effect on<br />
traffic, congestion, parking and<br />
safety on Vernon Tce,” and opposed<br />
the parking ban unless more parking<br />
is provided elsewhere.<br />
“As a result, the project<br />
has been put on hold temporarily<br />
to consider whether<br />
any additional parking<br />
controls should be proposed<br />
further afield,” Mr Thomas<br />
said.<br />
City councillor Tim Scandrett<br />
(left) said Vernon Tce<br />
residents had a right to be<br />
concerned.<br />
“The ideas raised in the submissions<br />
were very good ones and we<br />
do need to look at the plan again<br />
and see what we can do,” Cr Scandrett<br />
said.<br />
Mr Thomas said the next step<br />
of the project will be to undertake<br />
further consultation with affected<br />
properties if changes are made to<br />
the plan.<br />
CONGESTED: The city council will reconsider a parking ban on busy Rapaki Rd until a<br />
solution can be found.<br />

Turkey is one of my all time favourite countries. Spend time<br />
wandering the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul and appreciate<br />
the amazing palaces and mosques. But take time to head<br />
around the Coast and take in a visit to Gallipoli which is truly<br />
a memorable place. With amazing ancient ruins to visit,<br />
carpets to haggle over and a game of backgammon to win!<br />

This area and the Baltics are certainly popular and after<br />
travelling there I can see why! Everywhere has fairytale<br />
old towns combined with cutting edge modern cities – the<br />
range of tours on offer here have something to everyone –<br />
particularly if you are wanting longer days with midnight<br />

Harriet Babe - Travel Specialist<br />
I think a European overview of any size to suit is a fantastic<br />
way to get a taste of many popular and amazing destinations<br />
so that you get a good look around and see where you may<br />
want to go back to! It depends how much time you have but<br />
I think a good 10-15 day tour that takes in the Eiffel tower and<br />
Sistine Chapel in Rome is a must on any first time trip.<br />

Explore Sumner’s treasure<br />
trove of pre-loved fashions<br />
The holidays might be over, but there is still<br />
plenty of summer to enjoy so why not boost<br />
your summer wardrobe with quality preloved<br />
clothes from Time & Time Again in<br />
Sumner. This fascinating shop is always full of<br />
surprises – with an ever-changing selection of<br />
clothing for men and women and for children<br />
from newborn to 14 years.<br />
The business has been run by owner Ali for<br />
two years now and she and her staff have a<br />
strong sense of current fashion trends and<br />
are happy to give their opinion and advice if<br />
customers would like it.<br />
“The atmosphere is very relaxed and we<br />
like our customers to have fun while they’re<br />
shopping – there’s no pressure to buy,” Ali<br />
says.<br />
Clothing ranges in sizes from 4-24, and all<br />
the pre-loved clothing is of excellent quality.<br />
Everything from everyday gear to retro<br />
looks, designer brands to glamorous special<br />
occasion wear can be found on the constantly<br />
changing racks, with people supplying the<br />
shop coming not just from Christchurch,<br />
but also as far afield as Auckland, Blenheim<br />
and the West Coast. Items bought in highend<br />
stores overseas can also be found in this<br />
treasure trove of fashion.<br />
There is also an eclectic range of accessories<br />
including shoes and sandals, boots, new and<br />
pre-owned jewellery and new sunglasses.<br />
“Tassel jewellery is a strong fashion item<br />
this summer and we have the full range of<br />
colours in the My Tassel range of jewellery,<br />
which is brand-new and comes from<br />
Kaikoura – we like to support New Zealand<br />
designers,” Ali says.<br />
The range of sunglasses includes the brand,<br />
Happy to Sit on Your Face, and a wide choice<br />
of replica branded sunglasses.<br />
Time & Time Again also sells through<br />
Trade Me and Facebook so they get the most<br />
they can for the seller and the best deal for<br />
the customer.<br />
The income from the sale of clothing is<br />
split 50/50 between the owner of the clothing<br />
and Time & Time Again. Items that don’t sell<br />
quickly are marked down, so there are always<br />
bargains to be had, especially on the $5 rack.<br />
Clothing that doesn’t sell within six weeks is<br />
donated to charity organisations such as St<br />
Vincent de Paul.<br />
Time & Time Again, in the Village Mall,<br />

Principal<br />
surprised<br />
with signage<br />
• By Caitlin Miles<br />
SIGNS WARNING motorists of<br />
St Anne’s Catholic School have<br />
been installed on Ferry Rd.<br />
The signs come after Southern<br />
View highlighted concerns the<br />
school had over pupil safety on<br />
the busy road in Woolston.<br />
School principal Dallas<br />
Wichman said while he was<br />
happy the signs had been<br />
installed, 40km/h speed<br />
limits still needed to be put in<br />
urgently.<br />
“The signs are good but after<br />
a while people will forget about<br />
them, at least something that is<br />
flashing will get more attention<br />
for just 10 minutes and that’s<br />
what we need,” Mr Wichman<br />
(left) said.<br />
During the holidays, the city<br />
council installed four school<br />
signs at a cost of $1200.<br />
City council acting head of<br />
transport, Steffan Thomas, said<br />
they were installed to make<br />
people aware they are near a<br />
school and children are about.<br />
Mr Wichman said he didn’t<br />
know the signs were going in.<br />
He said he arrived at the school<br />
and saw them there.<br />
RIBBON CUTTING: Eric Devos and Janice Thornton (the cafe<br />
managers), Paula Jameson, Lianne Dalziel and Jill Simmonds<br />
(the granddaughter of original builder Charles Calvert) cut the<br />
ribbon opening the cafe and historic building.<br />
Sign of Kiwi back in business<br />
AFTER NEARLY six years,<br />
the Sign of the Kiwi reopened<br />
on Monday.<br />
The building at the top of<br />
Dyers Pass Rd was closed following<br />
the September 4, 2010,<br />
earthquake. It suffered further<br />
damage on February 22, 2011.<br />
Before it was closed, it had a cafe<br />
and shop.<br />
More than $900,000 of work<br />
was done strengthening the<br />
building to 67 per cent of the<br />
new building standard.<br />
The Sign of the Takahe,<br />
another protected heritage<br />
building, was also closed for<br />
repair work following the<br />
February 2011 earthquake.<br />
Repair work on the building<br />
began in 2015 and it is set to<br />
open next month.<br />
City council heritage rebuild<br />
programme manager Richie<br />
Moyle said the Sign of the Kiwi<br />
building was a piece of “old<br />
world heritage.”<br />
“The Sign of the Kiwi is a<br />
treasure of national significance,”<br />
he said.<br />
Mayor Lianne Dalziel said it<br />
was wonderful to see the building<br />
reopen.<br />
“Many who grew up in<br />

Christchurch will have their<br />
own memories of the Sign of the<br />
Kiwi. A hundred years since it<br />
was first built, it’s wonderful to<br />
be able to welcome the Sign of<br />
the Kiwi back,” Ms Dalziel said.<br />
The Category 1 listed heritage<br />
building was built in 1916 and<br />
1917.<br />
During its restoration and<br />
repair work, contractors found<br />
song lyrics scrawled on the<br />
roof from an Eileen Barton<br />
song, which was released in<br />
the 1950s.<br />
The message read: “If we had<br />
of known you were coming we’d<br />
of baked a cake (sic).”<br />
City council heritage adviser<br />
Gareth Wright said it was<br />
likely the message was written<br />
by tradespeople when they battened<br />
the roof of the Sign of the<br />
Kiwi in the 1950s.<br />
Cashmere Ward city councillor<br />
Tim Scandrett said it will be<br />
exciting to have the cafe open<br />
again so locals and visitors can<br />
take in the views.<br />
“It will be great to be able to sit<br />
up there, enjoy an ice cream and<br />
the weather, and just look at one<br />
of the best views in Canterbury,”<br />
Cr Scandrett said.<br />

Meanwhile, Mt Pleasant’s<br />
Juliet Freeman, 9, is ranked<br />
third in the UCI 10 class.<br />
Hollie and Juliet’s<br />
rankings were gained in<br />
the South Island BMX<br />
champs on <strong>January</strong> 14 to<br />
15 at the North Avon BMX<br />
Club in Bexley Reserve.<br />
Sumner’s Blake Steensen,<br />

event and gained a ranking<br />
of 12th in the UCI 11 class,<br />
while Noah Cole, 9, also of<br />
Sumner, is ranked fourth<br />

The riders’ rankings<br />
allow them to compete<br />
at the national<br />

19th in the South Island, and one of 102<br />
across the country.<br />
“When the opportunity arose to set up in<br />
Ferrymead we saw it as an ideal location<br />
for Pita Pit, due to the significant growth<br />
taking place there and also there are<br />
very few Pita Pits on the eastern side of<br />
the city,” Simon says. “The nearest ones<br />
are at The Palms and South City.”<br />
ADVERTORIAL<br />
High-profile takeaway opens in Ferrymead<br />
They are also confident it will be warmly<br />
welcomed.<br />
“Brand awareness of Pita Pit has risen<br />
steadily since the first stores opened in<br />
2010, so it’s now well known and well<br />
patronised. We believe the people from<br />
Ferrymead and the surrounding areas<br />
will be very glad that it has finally arrived<br />
in the area.”<br />
Simon attributes the popularity of Pita Pit<br />
to the freshness of the food, making it a<br />
healthy option, the fact that customers<br />
can choose from a wide range of food<br />
items and they can see the food in front<br />
of them.<br />
“We also have a gluten free option,<br />
which has been very popular in<br />
Christchurch. We believe the new Pita<br />
Pit will attract Ferrymead shoppers and<br />
staff from the surrounding businesses,<br />
as well as people who live locally and as<br />
far as Sumner and Scarborough, who<br />
regularly pass by,” Simon says.<br />
Pita Pit Ferrymead will be open seven<br />
days a week from 9am to 8pm, with offstreet<br />
car parking available.<br />

Steel mesh class action lawsuit looms<br />
• By Tom Doudney<br />
ABOUT 3000 Canterbury<br />
homeowners have been sent letters<br />
inviting them to join a class action<br />
lawsuit against three companies<br />
which allegedly supplied substandard<br />
steel mesh.<br />
Auckland firm Adina Thorn<br />
Lawyers has proposed taking the<br />
lawsuit against the companies<br />
which are also set to be prosecuted<br />
by the Commerce Commission<br />
this year under the Fair<br />
Trading Act.<br />
The steel mesh, alleged to be<br />
below the national building<br />
standard, is typically used in<br />
concrete slab foundations and<br />
driveways.<br />
The letter stated that if the<br />
companies were found guilty in<br />
the Commerce Commission’s<br />
prosecution they would face<br />
fines but this was “very unlikely”<br />
to deliver financial compensation<br />
to affected home owners.<br />
“Unless the owners of affected<br />
properties take legal action, they<br />
will likely face losses in terms of<br />
resale values, as well as possible<br />
complications with insurance<br />
claims in the event of an earthquake,”<br />
it said.<br />
The three companies were not<br />
named by the Commerce Commission<br />
but one, Steel & Tube,<br />
chose to identify itself. Steel &<br />
SAFETY ISSUE: About 3000 Canterbury homeowners have<br />
received letters inviting them to take part in a class action<br />
lawsuit over sub-standard steel mesh allegedly being used in<br />
their homes.<br />
Tube has said the commission’s<br />
decision in relation to itself was<br />
about the application of testing<br />
methodologies and mistaken use<br />
of a testing laboratories logo on<br />
test certificates, not the performance<br />
characteristics<br />
of its seismic<br />
mesh.<br />
Adina Thorn<br />
Lawyers senior<br />
associate Richard<br />
Hart (left) said<br />
homes which received<br />
the letters had been chosen<br />
based on having had a building<br />
consent issued during the four<br />
years that the non-complying<br />
mesh was being supplied. He<br />
acknowledged the firm did not<br />
know whether it had been used in<br />
any of the specific homes it sent<br />
letters to.<br />
The 3000 was just a subset of<br />
potentially affected homes with<br />
the total number “too difficult to<br />
obtain at this stage,” Mr Hart said.<br />
“This is a potentially serious<br />
problem, we don’t want to alarm<br />
people but on the other hand<br />
it’s an opportunity for people to<br />
perhaps find out a bit more and<br />
find out whether or not [joining<br />
the lawsuit] is worthwhile.”<br />
Letters had been sent to new<br />
Auckland subdivisions as well but<br />
Mr Hart said Canterbury had the<br />
potential to be worse affected due<br />
to the possibility of future seismic<br />
activity in the region.<br />
Steel & Tube communications<br />
manager Tanya Katterns said<br />
Adina Thorn had not provided<br />
information to support its claims<br />
that resale values and insurance<br />
claims could be affected.<br />
“We believe our seismic mesh<br />
ensures building safety,” she said.<br />
Last year Ministry of Business<br />
Innovation and Employment<br />
general manager building system<br />
performance Derek Baxter said<br />
he was not concerned that the<br />
mesh posed a safety risk for<br />
newly-built houses and was confident<br />
they would still comply<br />
with the Building Code.<br />
The Structural Engineering<br />
Society has also said homeowners<br />
should not be unnecessarily<br />
concerned about the steel mesh<br />
in their houses.<br />
The city council referred questions<br />
from The Star to the Commerce<br />
Commission. A spokeswoman<br />
for the commission said<br />
it did not wish to comment on<br />
the class action.<br />

Optima tempts in shrinking market<br />
• By Ross Kiddie<br />
ELEGANCE, STYLE and<br />
performance don’t always go<br />
hand-in-hand in motor vehicle<br />
manufacture.<br />
But Korea’s Kia Corporation<br />
has certainly done that with the<br />
new mid-to-large sedan, the<br />
Optima. Well, when I say new,<br />
the Optima is mostly all new, it<br />
has a new chassis and it is bigger<br />
than before, but it looks little<br />
different, it still has the same<br />
sleek body style, and the latest<br />
iteration builds on those values<br />
I’ve just mentioned.<br />
The Optima reeks of flair and<br />
fashion, it sits low and it has a<br />
body style that oozes desire, that<br />
element is also carried over to the<br />
interior, the entire car has had a<br />
refresh with a renewed emphasis<br />
on quality trim and materials.<br />
There is little difference in price<br />
either, in fact it could well be<br />
cheaper than the outgoing model<br />
depending on specification.<br />
Limited specification comes<br />
in at $48,990; for that money<br />
the Optima comes well specced,<br />
major features include satellite<br />
navigation, radar cruise control,<br />
full leather trim with heated<br />
front seats with electric seat<br />
adjustment, heated steering wheel<br />
and paddle shift gearbox.<br />
KIA OPTIMA LTD: Design flair oozes desire.<br />
It’s fair to say, though, the<br />
evaluation car was top spec, an<br />
EX variant sits $3200 below that<br />
and it would probably be my<br />
choice given it doesn’t miss out<br />
on much and it has cloth trim<br />
which is my preference.<br />
All that aside, both variants<br />
get a 2.4-litre petrol engine. It’s<br />
not a new unit, but I wouldn’t<br />
be at all surprised if has had a<br />
bit of a makeover in terms of<br />
refinement, such is the quiet and<br />
sophisticated way the Optima<br />
drives, the engine is a major part<br />
of the hushed way in which the<br />
car travels. And as I eluded to in<br />
my introduction, the Optima isn’t<br />
short on performance.<br />
Rated at 138kW and 241Nm,<br />
the twin-camshaft, 16-valve<br />
unit has plenty of urge. It drives<br />
through the low and close ratios<br />
of a six-speed automatic gearbox,<br />
together the driveline promotes<br />
swift acceleration and easy<br />
momentum when it reaches the<br />
driver’s desired speed.<br />
It’s hard to detect how hard the<br />
engine is working, for a big block<br />
four-cylinder it is uncannily<br />
subdued, and even under<br />
acceleration sound is well isolated<br />
from the cabin.<br />
Unfortunately, my testing time<br />
was cut a little short, an engine<br />
maintenance warning light<br />
flicked up on the dash during the<br />
time the test car was in my care,<br />
so I was very circumspect as to<br />
how I drove the car, and how far.<br />
That aside, the engine has a lot<br />
of usable torque through the mid<br />
range which means it is happy<br />
slugging it out in the areas where<br />
fuel use is minimised.<br />
Kia claims an 8.3-litre per<br />
100km (34mpg) combined cycle<br />
average for the Optima and that<br />
figure is quite realistic, during<br />
my time with the test car the fuel<br />
usage readout was constantly<br />
listing around 9l/100km (31mpg)<br />
along with a 6l/100km (47mpg)<br />
figure available instantaneously<br />
at 100km/h (engine speed<br />
1700rpm).<br />
The Optima cruises beautifully,<br />
it has a plush ride and sound is<br />
deadened. Kia has utilised a fully<br />
independent, front stunt/rear<br />
multiple link set-up. I like these<br />
arrangements, the rear wheels<br />
have freedom and springs and<br />
shocks are allowed to do their job<br />
unimpeded. Mid-corner bumps<br />
are dealt to without deviation<br />
off-line, while at the other end<br />
steerage is direct and turn-in is<br />
accurate.<br />
Riding on high quality<br />
• Price – Kia Optima Ltd,<br />
$48,990<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />

Michelin Pilot rubber (235/45<br />
x 18in), the sport specification<br />
tyres have strong grip properties<br />
along with little sound. They are<br />
also partly responsible for the<br />
strong steering feel, the driver is<br />
fully involved with the handling<br />
process.<br />
Creating a new car and<br />
building on the success of its<br />
predecessor is a complicated<br />
and difficult process, but Kia has<br />
always done that well, and the<br />
Optima is a good example of how<br />
sophisticated the modern sedan<br />
has come to be.<br />
It’s just a pity that the sedan<br />
market in languishing in an<br />
age where a buyer’s first choice<br />
is generally a sport utility<br />
vehicle.<br />
Good cars like the Optima<br />
deserve to do better.<br />

Miss Treadway & the Field of Stars<br />
by Miranda Emmerson<br />
How do you find a missing actress in a city where everyone’s<br />
playing a role?<br />
A mystery, a love-story and a darkly beguiling tale of secrets and<br />
reinvention set in 1960s London. Soho, 1965.<br />
In a tiny two-bed flat above a Turkish café on Neal Street lives<br />
Anna Treadway, a young dresser at the Galaxy Theatre.<br />
When the American actress Iolanthe Green disappears after an<br />
evening’s performance at the Galaxy, the newspapers are wild with<br />
speculation about her fate.<br />
But as the news grows old and the case grows colder, it seems Anna is the only<br />
person left determined to find out the truth.<br />
Her search for the missing actress will take her into an England she did not know existed: an<br />
England of jazz clubs and prison cells, backstreet doctors and seaside ghost towns, where<br />
her carefully calibrated existence will be upended by violence but also, perhaps, by love.<br />
For in order to uncover Iolanthe’s secrets, Anna is going to have to face up to a few of her<br />
own...<br />
Hidden Figures: The Untold Story of the<br />
African American Women Who Helped<br />
Win the Space Race<br />
by Margot Lee Shetterly<br />
SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE. New York Times Bestseller. Set amid the civil<br />
rights movement, the never-before-told true story of NASA’s African-American female<br />
mathematicians who played a crucial role in America’s space program. Before Neil<br />
Armstrong walked on the moon, a group of professionals worked as ‘Human Computers’,<br />
calculating the flight paths that would enable these historic achievements. Among these<br />
were a coterie of bright, talented African-American women. Segregated from their white<br />
counterparts, these ‘coloured computers’ used pencil and paper to write the equations that<br />
would launch rockets, and astronauts, into space. Moving from World War II through NASA’s<br />
golden age, touching on the civil rights era, the Space Race, the Cold War, and the women’s<br />
rights movement, ‘Hidden Figures’ interweaves a rich history of mankind’s greatest adventure<br />
with the intimate stories of five courageous women whose work forever changed the world.<br />

Stretch<br />
your way back to it<br />
As we return to our normal daily routines after the holidays you<br />
may begin to find the odd ache or pain creeping in.<br />
This is a good indicator from our<br />
bodies, that the holiday routine<br />
was somewhat different. Perhaps<br />
you sit a lot for work and you<br />
were on the go or, you are normally more<br />
active and the holiday break was more<br />
sedentary. Either way the sooner you pay<br />
attention to these signals the easier it will<br />
be to deal with it.<br />
So what can you do to ward off pain<br />
and stiffness and boost your energy and<br />
alertness? 10 simple stretching exercises<br />
at your desk that will release tension from<br />
head to toe. They take only a few minutes.<br />
Set the alarm on your cell phone or<br />
computer to go off every hour to remind<br />
you it’s time to get up and stretch.<br />
Just stand up and sit down - no hands<br />
If you stand up and sit down (over and<br />
over) without using your hands it can be a<br />
challenge, do it while you’re on the phone;<br />
no one will know.<br />
Shrug your shoulders - to release the neck and shoulders<br />
Inhale deeply and shrug your shoulders,<br />
lifting them high up to your ears. Hold.<br />
Release and drop. Repeat three times.<br />
Loosen the hands with air circles<br />
Clench both fists, stretching both hands<br />
out in front of you.<br />
Make circles in the air, first in one direction,<br />
to the count of ten. Then reverse the circles.<br />
Shake out the hands.<br />
Point your fingers - good for hands, wrist, and forearms<br />
Stretch your left hand out in front of you,<br />
pointing fingers toward the floor. Use your<br />
right hand to increase the stretch, pushing<br />
your fingers down and toward the body.<br />
Be gentle do the same with the other hand.<br />
Now stretch your left hand out straight<br />
in front, wrist bent, with fingers pointing<br />
skyward. Use your right hand to increase<br />
the stretch, pulling the fingers back toward<br />
your body. Do the same on the other side.<br />
Release the upper body with a torso twist<br />
Inhale and as you exhale, turn to the right<br />
and grab the back of your chair with your<br />
right hand, and grab the arm of the chair<br />
with your left. With eyes level, use your<br />
grasp on the chair to help twist your torso<br />
around as far to the back of the room as<br />
possible. Hold the twist and let your eyes<br />
continue the stretch see how far around<br />
the room you can peer. Slowly come back<br />
to facing forward. Repeat on the other side.<br />
Do leg extensions<br />
Grab the seat of your chair to brace yourself<br />
and extend your legs straight out in front of<br />
you so they are parallel to the floor.Flex and<br />
point your toes five times. Release. Repeat.<br />
Stretch your back with a “big hug”<br />
Hug your body, placing the right hand on<br />
your left shoulder and the left hand on your<br />
right shoulder. Breathe in and out, releasing<br />
the area between your shoulder blades.<br />
Cross your arms - for the shoulders and upper back<br />
Extend one arm out straight in front of you.<br />
With the other hand, grab the elbow of the<br />
outstretched arm and pull it across your<br />
chest, stretching your shoulder and upper<br />
back muscles. Hold. Release. Stretch out the<br />
other arm in front of you - repeat.<br />
Stretch your back and shoulders with a “leg hug”<br />
Sit on the edge of your chair (if it has<br />
wheels, wedge the chair against the desk or<br />
wall to make sure it does not roll). Put your<br />
feet together, flat on the floor.<br />
Lean over, chest to knees, letting your arms<br />
dangle loosely to the floor. Release your<br />
neck. Now bring your hands behind your<br />
legs, right hand grasping left wrist, forearm<br />
(or elbow if you can reach that far), left hand<br />
grasping the right. Feel the stretch in your<br />
back, shoulders and neck. Hold. Release<br />
your hands to the floor again. Repeat three<br />
times or as often as it feels good.<br />
Look up to release upper body<br />
Sit up tall in your chair, or stand up. Stretch<br />
your arms overhead and interlock your<br />
fingers. Turn the palms to the ceiling as<br />
you lift your chin up, tilt your head back,<br />
and gaze up at the ceiling, too. Inhale,<br />
exhale, release.<br />

1<strong>25</strong> Main Road, Governors <strong>Bay</strong><br />
From $700,000<br />
3 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom | 2 Car Garaging | 2023m 2 section - Listing No. 3502<br />
NOTE: The owners have just had a subdivision report completed by a Registered<br />
Survey Company, a Geotechnical Report completed by Registered Consulting<br />
Engineers and a subdivision application has been submitted to council. This is<br />
currently in the approval process and applies for two separate titles to be issued for<br />
the property. Title 1 - House on 1023m 2 and Title 2 - Separate section of 1000m 2 .<br />
On a 2023m 2 section which occupies a prime position right in the heart of the bay. Enjoy<br />
the space and the stunning harbour / hill views. Last on the market in 1948, this was home<br />
to one of our much loved local identities. The comfortable family home offers three double<br />
bedrooms and open plan living opening to wrap-around verandah. You will be super cosy<br />
in winter with the Kent Duo wood-burner and heat-pump, plus a still operational “chippy”<br />
in the kitchen. There is easy, sealed access to a detached double garage plus a single<br />
carport and woodshed. This is a golden opportunity to own a good chunk of the bay right<br />
at its centre. Spread out and keep the whole half acre (2023m 2 )for yourself, develop into<br />
a beautiful garden or just keep as real country space for the kids to romp. For a gardener<br />
it is a blank canvas, an additional way to enhance the future value of this property.<br />

28 Esplanade<br />
Properties in this location are tightly held and are rarely becoming available and it is almost impossible<br />
to find an original character home let alone on Sumner’s waterfront. Positioned right opposite Cave Rock,<br />
Scarborough and Sumner Beaches and boasting one of the few homes on the Esplanade with rear access and<br />
views in both directions. Views encapsulate Scarborough Heads sweeping over Sumner Beach and right along<br />
the coastline to the Kaikoura Ranges and the Southern Alps. Built 100 years ago when craftsmanship<br />
was valued this graceful character home has great street appeal, good bones and untapped potential.<br />
