Local place names<br />
rediscovered in new book<br />
Canterbury University Press (CUP) has<br />
this month published Place Names of Banks<br />
Peninsula and the Port Hills, by award-winning<br />
regional historian Gordon Ogilvie.<br />
With a deep knowledge of this part of<br />
New Zealand, Ogilvie challenged himself to<br />
write a comprehensive successor to Johannes<br />
Andersen’s Place-Names of Banks Peninsula, first<br />
published in 1927.<br />
“Andersen’s work is rightly regarded as<br />
a classic, but it’s been out of print for many<br />
years. This new book is a much-needed<br />
successor and is an important addition to<br />
Gordon’s acclaimed histories of the region,”<br />
CUP publisher Catherine Montgomery says.<br />
Ogilvie’s new book is a history of the<br />
place names of Banks Peninsula, Lyttelton<br />
Harbour, the Port Hills and suburbs including<br />
Heathcote, Halswell and Tai Tapu. He has also<br />
been able to include rarely seen sketches and<br />
paintings from the Alexander Turnbull Library<br />
and Christchurch Art Gallery collections.<br />
Ogilvie says researching the linguistic and<br />
cultural significance of place names was<br />
something of a salvage operation, because<br />
many of the people and places identified in the<br />
book are no longer around.<br />
While that was a challenge, the new version<br />
benefits from resources not available during<br />
Andersen’s research a century ago.<br />
“The National Library’s Papers Past online<br />
database allowed me to go back to almost<br />
the very beginning of some place names –<br />
finally settling arguments about the origins<br />
of place names like Okains and Le Bons Bays.<br />
Maps from the National Geographic Board,<br />
museums and galleries also helped,” he says.<br />
The book provides names, explains<br />
their meaning and gives a short history of<br />
communities. English, French and Mãori names<br />
are included – many of which Andersen<br />
sourced directly from kaumãtua 100 years ago.<br />
Tribal differences and spelling variations are<br />
also captured, but mysteries still remain, with<br />
the origins of some unresolved.<br />
“Banks Peninsula, Lyttelton Harbour and the<br />
Port Hills of Christchurch offer a wonderfully<br />
diverse and kaleidoscopic array of names that<br />
speak of the area’s Mãori and colonial history<br />
and the people who have been there before<br />
you,” says Ogilvie.<br />
“I’ve always found the history of places<br />
intriguing and this area is particularly<br />
fascinating with whalers, flax traders, boat<br />
builders, French Catholic priests, Mãori<br />
pã, shooting ranges, timber-milling, farming,<br />
brickworks, breweries, malt works, battle sites<br />
and vineyards all represented.”<br />
Ogilvie has visited most of the area over<br />
many years of research and leisure activities<br />
and says “researching the book was quite an<br />
adventure”.<br />
“My life’s ambition has been to write on<br />
the hills and peninsula because I love them<br />
so much and wanted to share the love and<br />
knowledge with others. I’ve done that now<br />
and hope readers take what I took from it –<br />
the excitement of discovery.”<br />

history has been a lifelong passion, but his<br />
22 books also include The Riddle of Richard<br />
Pearse (1973) and Denis Glover: His Life (1999),<br />
which were both Book of the Year finalists.<br />
He has twice won the JM Sherrard Award for<br />
New Zealand Regional History for The Port Hills<br />

head of English at St Andrew’s College until his<br />
retirement in 1993. In 2000, he was awarded<br />
an honorary Doctorate of Letters from the<br />

Bridging the technology &<br />
generation gap<br />
Papanui Library, in conjunction with Papanui<br />
High School, has launched a new programme<br />
called GenConnect. The programme was<br />
started at Upper Riccarton Library in 2016<br />
and following its huge success, Papanui<br />
Library is offering this service to residents in<br />
that area.<br />
The idea behind GenConnect is to<br />
increase interactions between the younger<br />
generations and older adults by providing<br />
free technology help. If the programme is<br />
successful at Papanui Library, it will be offered<br />
as a regular programme during the school<br />
terms.<br />
Young people born in the age of digital<br />
technology, and known as digital natives, can<br />
navigate most aspects of it with ease, as they<br />
have an innate understanding of how it works.<br />
But for people who are “digital immigrants”<br />
and have to learn how to use it so they can<br />
enjoy the benefits, they might find it takes a<br />
bit of practice and perseverance before they<br />
feel comfortable using it. Technology is not<br />
particularly intuitive.<br />
This is where GenConnect comes in.<br />
Technology-oriented intergenerational<br />
programmes are a way to bridge the<br />
generational pay gap by providing an<br />
opportunity for interaction. Students help<br />
older adults feel more comfortable with<br />
digital technology such as smart phones,<br />
tablets or laptops, which might be of use to<br />
them. For their part, adults can contribute by<br />
sharing local community history and helping<br />

the students learn skills necessary when<br />
teaching things such as empathy, kindness and<br />
patience.<br />
Even though technology is the core of the<br />
programme, in reality, it is used as a vehicle<br />
to enhance intergenerational relationships<br />
and to stimulate learning and dialogue,<br />
which may result in better communication,<br />
understanding and co-operation.<br />
The high school students that deliver<br />
the programme freely volunteer their time,<br />
and can answer many questions or doubts,<br />
including:<br />
• How to set up and use your smart phone,<br />
tablet or iPad<br />
• How to set up an email account<br />
• How to set up and use Facebook or<br />

Putting Amberley on the map<br />
A group of 37 Amberley business owners<br />
have joined forces to launch AmberleyNZ, a<br />
new promotional strategy that highlights the<br />
wide range of eateries, attractions, boutique<br />
retail, experiences and accommodation that<br />
Amberley has to offer.<br />
They were inspired by the fact that business<br />
is booming in Amberley, with 12 new small<br />
businesses having set up shop in the town<br />
over the last two years.<br />
Although Amberley has suffered hardship<br />
following years of ongoing droughts and the<br />
devastating November 2016 earthquake that<br />
impacted the flow of north-bound traffic<br />
through the town, these Amberley business<br />
owners are determined to build on the unique<br />
vibe of their town and cement its reputation<br />
as a memorable destination.<br />
The project was the brainchild of Trish<br />
Coleman, owner of Mumma T’s Trading<br />
Lounge, who approached local designer<br />
Margot Korhonen from Spruce Design +<br />
Marketing to put together a map showcasing<br />
all the exciting places to visit in Amberley.<br />
Claire Inkson from Claire Inkson Photography<br />
then introduced the idea of expanding<br />
the project to include more retailers. The<br />
motivated trio developed the project scope to<br />
promote Amberley, as well as supporting the<br />
entire North Canterbury region. The final step<br />
in the process was approaching other business<br />
owners, who welcomed the “wonderful<br />
step forward” for their town. AmberleyNZ<br />
was launched in late July at the popular<br />
Nor’Wester Café.<br />
A Map showcasing all that Amberley and<br />
the wider region has to offer is available<br />
from a number of retailers, stores and cafes<br />
throughout the town. Trish, Margot and Claire<br />
hope that the map and the new promotion<br />
strategy will encourage visitors to spend more<br />
time in Amberley, while uncovering some of its<br />
hidden gems.<br />
What you will find there…<br />
Just 40 minutes north of Christchurch,<br />
Amberley is the perfect location for a day trip.<br />
Previously considered as an ‘ice-cream stop’,<br />
Amberley now incorporates a unique boutique<br />
shopping experience with plenty of free<br />
parking and not a chain store in sight.<br />
After exploring the main street, stroll<br />
along the side streets to uncover hidden<br />
treasures including quirky Kiwiana stores and<br />
homeware emporiums filled with everything<br />
from Balinese décor to country, modern and<br />
vintage-style interior items. Many retailers<br />
stock items that showcase the artistic talents<br />
of local craftspeople and make ideal gifts.<br />
Lovers of fashion are also catered for with<br />
two edgy clothing boutiques, along with an<br />
iconic clothing store with a cult following built<br />
up during two decades of catering for “real<br />
women”.<br />
When it’s time for a snack or lunch you<br />
will find every need catered for, with choices<br />
including an authentic French bakery, artisan<br />
cafes, fine cuisine and even a craft brewery<br />
with wood-fired pizzas. On Saturdays, the<br />
highly regarded Waipara Valley Farmers’<br />
Market is a great way to experience local<br />
produce and meet the regional growers. The<br />
neighbouring Amberley Craft Market presents<br />
a delightful handicraft experience.<br />
Offering much more than just shopping,<br />
Amberley’s attractions include sculptures,<br />
murals, historic buildings, established parks and<br />
playgrounds, stunning beaches and a growing<br />
network of walking and cycling trails.<br />
After some retail therapy and refuelling<br />
with sumptuous local fare, you can indulge<br />
and pamper yourself at one of the local hair<br />
salons or beauty therapy clinics. These clinics<br />
and salons use quality products, and provide a<br />
Margot Korhonen, left, Claire Inkson and Trish Coleman at the launch of<br />
AmberleyNZ<br />
peaceful and unhurried atmosphere in which<br />
to relax and unwind.<br />
The real ingredient that makes Amberley<br />
such a unique and pleasurable experience is<br />
the people. You will meet motivated locals,<br />
inspiring entrepreneurs and business owners<br />
who are passionate about local ingredients,<br />
products and supporting each another. That’s<br />
what makes Amberley the perfect place to eat,<br />
shop, pamper, play and stay.<br />

Looking your best -<br />
<strong>50</strong>-plus and onwards<br />
Looking their best is important to women<br />
of any age. <strong>Forward</strong> <strong>50</strong> asks Personal Style<br />
Consultant Joanna Giles of Love Your Look<br />
how women <strong>50</strong>+ can dress to look great and<br />
feel confident.<br />
What advice do you have for<br />
women over <strong>50</strong> who want to<br />
dress ‘on trend’ without looking<br />
as if they are trying too hard to<br />
appear young?<br />
Women <strong>50</strong>+ often mention to me that<br />
they are worried about looking like ‘mutton<br />
dressed as lamb’, but it is actually a problem I<br />
rarely see. My bigger concern is that women<br />
sometimes have a tendency to veer too far<br />
the other way, and dress too old for their age,<br />
‘mutton dressed as dead.’<br />
To avoid this tendency, remember that<br />
Baby Boomers rule the world! Because Baby<br />
Boomers are such a large proportion of the<br />
population they are re-creating the rules for<br />
how women dress at <strong>50</strong>, 60, 70 and beyond.<br />
Just look at what celebrities like Hallee Berry<br />
(<strong>50</strong>), Michelle Pfeiffer (58), Christie Brinkley<br />
(63), Helen Mirren (72) and Judi Dench (82)<br />
are wearing and looking absolutely stunning in.<br />
To feel confident about dressing well for your<br />
age group, choose a celebrity Muse to get<br />
ideas of the fashion looks you could try.<br />
It is important to stay up to date with<br />
fashion and easy to lose your confidence<br />
and get left behind. For a confidence boost<br />
and to keep up with current fashion trends<br />
that will suit you I recommend joining a Style<br />
Course to learn which colours suit your eye<br />
colour and current hair and skin colour, (these<br />
change as we age), which clothing cuts work<br />
for your current body shape (which often also<br />
changes around menopause) and the modern<br />
ways to create stunning outfits out of fashion<br />
separates.<br />
Depending on individual sizes<br />
and body shapes, what types of<br />
garments are most flattering<br />
for women in this age group?<br />
I believe every woman is beautiful. Beauty<br />
is not a particular size, shape, age or skin or<br />
hair colour. Any woman, whether a size 6 or<br />
26+, can look great in colours and clothing<br />
cuts that highlight her assets and quietly<br />
camouflage any problem areas.<br />
The first step is learning which colours suit<br />
you and which cuts of clothes suit your body<br />
shape. The problem is we are all trying to get<br />
a tailor-made fit from off-the-rack garments.<br />
The secret to getting a great fit is to choose<br />
garments that are designed for your body<br />
shape.<br />
This is based on your build, frame or<br />
silhouette. There are three female body shapes,<br />
Straight, Curve and Softened Curve, and each<br />
has unique assets and problems areas and<br />
comes in every size.<br />
Straights go ‘straight up and down’ with no<br />
waist or hips, but have great shoulders and<br />
legs. They feel conscious of weight around the<br />
tummy and upper hips (muffin top, spare tyre).<br />
Kate Middleton and MP Paula Bennett are<br />
Straights. They look great in ‘long lean’ clothing<br />
that defines shoulders and legs and bypasses<br />
the tummy, e.g. volume in top garments and<br />
fitted in trousers and skirts.<br />
Curves go ‘all-in-and-out’ and have beautiful<br />
curvy waists and upper bodies and a totally<br />

Joanna Giles<br />
flat tummy (so are very rare). They feel<br />
conscious of carrying weight on hips, bottom<br />
and thighs. They suit fitted garments on top<br />
that cinch in at the waist and suit lots of<br />
volume in pants and skirts. Racquel Welch and<br />
Jennifer Lopez are Curves.<br />
Softened Curves have developed a little<br />
tummy after having kids or getting older. They<br />
have beautiful upper bodies (especially their<br />
décolletage) and suit top garments that have<br />
a wider open neckline and soft shaping at the<br />
waist. They suit relaxed trousers and skirts<br />
that hang straight but have a lot of fabric in<br />
them e.g. ‘drape not cling’.<br />
How important is colour and<br />
what role does it play?<br />
Colour is very important as colours that<br />
suit you can make you look healthy and give<br />
you a youthful glow, whereas colours that<br />
don’t suit you can age you, making you look<br />
dull or even unwell.<br />
Your eye colour and current hair and skin<br />
colour determine what types of colours will<br />
suit you. The great news is that everyone<br />
can wear every colour, as long as they wear<br />
it in the clarity or strength that best suits<br />
them – and you don’t need to carry around a<br />
colour swatch to get a perfect match. I teach<br />
clients this Clarity Based system to help them<br />
use colour combinations to elongate their<br />
silhouette and make them look taller and<br />
slimmer.<br />
Half of us look best in clear, fresh, brighter<br />
colours at the light-reflecting end of the<br />
spectrum. (Bright and Light-Bright). The other<br />
half of the population is most enhanced by<br />
richer, light-absorbing colours from the duller<br />

Incapacity & the elderly Trustee<br />
As a nation, our population is ageing.<br />
Alongside this is an increase in the number of<br />
people who can no longer continue to manage<br />
their own affairs due to mental incapacity.<br />
Where the incapacitated person is the Trustee<br />
of a family or discretionary trust that can<br />
make the administration of the trust, all but<br />
impossible.<br />
As most trust deeds require that Trustees<br />
act unanimously, if one Trustee is incapacitated,<br />
and therefore unable to act or participate in<br />
decision making, it will leave the remaining<br />
Trustees, and the Trust itself, in limbo until<br />
such time as that incapacitated Trustee has<br />
been removed.<br />
The removal of an incapacitated trustee can<br />
be effected by:<br />
1. Using the Trust Deed<br />
Where there is a specific power of<br />
appointment held by someone who is alive,<br />
and who is not the incapacitated Trustee,<br />
they can use that power to remove a Trustee,<br />
whether that Trustee is incapacitated or not.<br />
This may require having a difficult conversation<br />
with an ageing Trustee but will save all parties<br />
anxiety, time and money.<br />
2. Section 43 of the Trustee Act 1956<br />
If the Trust Deed is silent as to who<br />
holds the power of appointment, or the<br />
incapacitated Trustee is the Trustee with the<br />
power of appointment, s 43 can be used to<br />
remove the incapacitated Trustee but only<br />
where that Trustee is being replaced by a new<br />
Trustee.<br />
3. Section 51 of the Trustee Act<br />
The Court can, under s 51, exercise its<br />
power to remove an incapacitated Trustee<br />
but only when it is “inexpedient, difficult or<br />
impractical to do so without the assistance<br />
of the Court …” 1 and, as with s 43 above,<br />
only where the incapacitated Trustee is being<br />
replaced.<br />
The Courts also have an inherent<br />
jurisdiction to remove an incapacitated<br />
trustee if the Court is satisfied that it is in the<br />
interests of the beneficiaries and where “…<br />
the continuance of the Trustee would prevent<br />
the trusts being properly executed …” 2<br />
Transferring the Trust Property<br />
Once the incapacitated Trustee has been<br />
removed, any real property owned by the<br />
trust will need to be transferred into the<br />
names of the new Trustees.<br />
An Enduring Power of Attorney in relation<br />
to Property (EPA Property) cannot be used<br />
for this purpose, as this document deals with<br />
personal property and does not extend to<br />
property owned as a Trustee.<br />
Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) has<br />
confirmed that an Attorney appointed under<br />
an EPA Property cannot sign an Authority &<br />
Instruction Form for an incapacitated Trustee.<br />
That being the case, an application to the<br />
High Court will need to be made for a Vesting<br />
Order, under s 52 of the Trustee Act 1956, to<br />
vest the trust property in the names of the<br />
new Trustees.<br />
As Trustees get older, regular meetings of<br />
the Trustees will be critical for the on-going<br />
management of the Trust. At Harmans we<br />
have experience in dealing with trust law and<br />
estate planning and can help you to ensure<br />
your Trust operates as it should. Give Fleur<br />
McDonald a call on 03 352 2293 to arrange an<br />
appointment to discuss your situation.<br />

It’s important to get your colours rechecked<br />

anytime you have a drastic change.<br />
What are the staples that form<br />
the basis of a versatile and<br />
stylish wardrobe?<br />
There are several tricks of the trade for<br />
turning a wardrobe full of separates into<br />
stunning co-ordinated outfits. You can also use<br />
these tricks for packing a small co-ordinated<br />
travel wardrobe and as the basis of your<br />
shopping list for effectively adding to your<br />
current wardrobe this season.<br />
1. The Base: a Base is an all-one-colour<br />
look created by wearing a top and bottom in<br />
the same colour and then adding a differentcoloured<br />
outer layer and a necklace or scarf<br />
that references both colours.<br />
2. Bring Bottom Colour Up: when wearing<br />
two contrasting colours e.g. light top with<br />
dark bottom or dark top with light bottom<br />
you will need to ‘bring the bottom colour up’<br />
to create symmetry in your outfit. Simply<br />
choose a necklace or scarf the same colour<br />
as the bottom garment to bring the colour<br />
up. Our eyes like symmetry and you will look<br />
co-ordinated. This principle is particularly<br />
important if adding a third or multiple<br />
additional colours to an outfit.<br />
3. Capsule Wardrobe Formula: 2+2+5=20<br />
Two ‘suits’ e.g. an outer and bottom that work<br />
together as if they were a suit + two necklaces<br />
or scarves the same colour as the bottoms<br />
of the ‘suits’ + five tops that work with all the<br />
other items = 20 different outfits. Each top<br />
has four outer layer combinations.<br />
What about jewellery – is this a<br />
matter of personal taste or are<br />
larger, chunkier pieces not so<br />
appropriate in this age group?<br />
Accessories are the links that turn separates<br />
into great outfits and are also a great way to<br />
express your personality and personal style.<br />
Which jewellery (earrings and necklaces),<br />
scarf-tying techniques, glasses shapes, hair<br />
style and necklines suit you is governed by<br />
whether the natural shape of your inner facial<br />
characteristics (eyebrows, eyes, nose, cheeks,<br />
lips & chin) are more angular or more curved.<br />
Inner facial characteristics often change as we<br />
age, so get yours checked at least every seven<br />
years.<br />
When choosing jewellery also keep in mind<br />
your personal style and scale.<br />
Do you have any suggestions for<br />
what to wear as the seasons<br />
change from winter to spring?<br />
Trans-seasonal dressing is an excellent<br />
technique to use as the seasons change. Simply<br />
layer merino under lighter-weight tops, e.g.<br />
chiffon top with merino underneath and a<br />
jacket or cardigan over the top. Alternatively,<br />
you can use a lighter-weight top without an<br />
under layer and use an outer layer that you<br />
can remove if you need to.<br />
Just remember, if your outfit is like a suit, but<br />
the top you wear underneath and the pants<br />
are contrasting colours on top and bottom,<br />
add a necklace the same colour as the pants,<br />
as that ties the top and bottom together<br />
symmetrically and allows you to remove your<br />
matching outer layer if you get too warm and<br />
you will still have a co-ordinated outfit.

NEW DIRECTIONS | 7<br />
A new business built on skills & experience<br />
Starting a new career or business after the age of<br />
<strong>50</strong> can be both exciting and daunting. <strong>Forward</strong> <strong>50</strong> talks<br />
to educator Kate Brown about how she developed a<br />
consultancy business where she could use her skills and<br />
experience in a new and rewarding way.<br />
What age were you when you decided<br />
to leave teaching to start your<br />
consultancy business?<br />
I was 58.<br />
What prompted you to make that change<br />
after a long and successful career as<br />
an educator?<br />
I had been working overseas in International Schools<br />
for 17 years and wanted to bring some of the best<br />
practice in international education into New Zealand<br />
schools.<br />
What have been the greatest challenges<br />
in starting and running your own<br />
business and what are the rewards?<br />
The challenges: drumming up business and staying<br />
organised. I find I have to be very disciplined to organise<br />
myself, having worked to bells for over 40 years.<br />
The rewards: a great sense of pride in what I have<br />
achieved, working with a variety of amazing New Zealand<br />
educators in different settings, and being able to organise<br />
my own time. When I wish to pick up my grandchildren<br />
from school and kindy my current boss is always willing<br />
to let me out early!<br />
What is the main focus of your<br />
consultancy?<br />
My main focus is supporting schools to develop a<br />
curriculum that is engaging for students, relevant to their<br />
learning needs and with a focus on understandings not<br />
memorisation. We have to educate our students for<br />
their future not our past.<br />
You have had considerable overseas<br />
experience in education, so does that<br />
help you in your business and if so, how?<br />
For the last 14 years I have been working with the<br />
International Baccalaureate Curriculum (IB), which is<br />
concept-based and delivered through inquiry pedagogy.<br />
I became a workshop leader for the IB, going round the<br />
world leading professional development for teachers in IB<br />
schools. I had also had several stints of working with the<br />
IB to develop their curriculum, and with this experience,<br />
and my understanding of the gains of a concept-based<br />
curriculum for student learning, I began my mission to<br />
support New Zealand schools to create the best possible<br />
curriculum for their students.<br />
What advice would you give anyone<br />
considering starting a new business<br />
after the age of <strong>50</strong>?<br />
Work hard and don’t falter at the setbacks – just class<br />
it as experience and move on to the next opportunity.<br />
Have faith in your own ability.<br />
Go for it. Join a networking group – I joined Venus.<br />
This not only gives you the support of other motivated<br />
business people with networking opportunities, but also<br />
provides workshops and education sessions on the nitty<br />
gritty of how to get your business buzzing.<br />
If there is something in your business you don’t like<br />
doing (e.g. accounting), get someone else to do it. Don’t<br />
waste your time and worry over something that is not<br />
building your business. Enjoy the journey and constantly<br />
remind yourself of how amazing you are.<br />

With the recent release of the Ministry of<br />
Health’s Healthy Ageing Strategy there is<br />
an increased focus on living not just longer,<br />
but also maintaining health and wellbeing by<br />
creating opportunities in a range of areas for<br />
older people.<br />
While medical care and access to medical<br />
services is an important part of the strategy,<br />
the focus is also on developing communities,<br />
encouraging active and connected lives and<br />
preventative services.<br />
However, adults aged 65 years and over are<br />
more likely to be sedentary than those under<br />
65 years. These activity rates decline even<br />
more as adults aged 75 years and over are less<br />
likely to be physically active than those under<br />
75 years.<br />
Older adults that are not active are missing<br />
out on many of the benefits of being active,<br />
and it’s not just about being able to live a full<br />
life. There are very real benefits to all aspects<br />
of life that sedentary older adults are missing<br />
out on through their inactivity.<br />
Any physical activity is better than none at all.<br />
It can be as simple as aiming to sit less and<br />
get out and about more, adding movement<br />
into everyday tasks, as well as seeking<br />
opportunities for more structured exercise.<br />
Many exercise facilities, recreation centres and<br />
pools offer classes and sessions that are most<br />
suitable for the older exerciser.<br />
While exercising can be added to regular<br />
tasks, the advantages of getting involved with a<br />
facility or group are many, including being able<br />
to access expert advice. As well, it has been<br />
proven that spending time with others adds to<br />
our sense of wellbeing.<br />
The Healthy Ageing Strategy vision is that<br />
Exercising as we age<br />
has many benefits<br />
“older people live well, age well, and have<br />
a respectful end of life in age-friendly<br />
communities”; it seeks to maximise health and<br />
wellbeing for all older people.<br />
Getting involved in several physical activities<br />
is best, allowing variety and benefits across<br />
a range of activity areas. Anything that gets<br />
your heart rate up and makes your breathing<br />
heavier will have a positive effect on aerobic<br />
levels and heart health. Balance exercises will<br />
help prevent falls, and strength exercises can<br />
assist with maintaining posture and help with<br />
daily tasks.<br />
If you are a senior and new to exercising, it<br />
is wise to start off slowly. Do speak to your<br />
doctor before starting or increasing physical<br />
activity. They are likely to be supportive of<br />
your increased activity, and can offer advice on<br />
making sure any medical conditions or injuries<br />
are managed.<br />
The Ministry of Health suggests older adults<br />
do 30 minutes of moderate physical activity<br />
on five days or more per week. They have<br />
several resources available on their website to<br />
help you on your way to physical activity as an<br />
older adult.<br />

BY ROSS KIDDIE<br />
I HAD to think hard trying to remember the<br />
last time I picked up a manual evaluation car.<br />
It was six months ago and that wasn’t even a<br />
car as such, but Toyota’s Land Cruiser 70 light<br />
truck.<br />
The latest manual to come my way was<br />
from an unexpected source – Kia’s new Rio.<br />
However, amongst the four variations it’s only<br />
the entry-level model that has the manual<br />
option. Prices start at $22,490 for the LX as<br />
tested, automatic transmission adds $1000,<br />
while an EX variant sits at $25,490 and the<br />
range-topping Ltd is listed at $26,990.<br />
These are budget prices for what would be<br />
deemed a well-made desirable, small hatchback.<br />
When I say small, it would be noted that the<br />
new Rio is longer and wider than the model<br />
it replaces, but it is just a fraction lower. The<br />
latter makes no appreciable difference to entry<br />
and exit, it is still an easy car to access and it is<br />
better for its new proportions.<br />
The Rio can’t really be considered a fiveseater;<br />
there are three seat belts in the rear<br />
but it is tight back there, although head and leg<br />
room are plentiful.<br />
In terms of styling, the newcomer shares<br />
many of the similarities for which we know<br />
the model, it’s not flashy but it is far from<br />
conservative and is easily a strong contender in<br />
the five-door hatchback market.<br />
Up front sits a 1.4-litre engine, regular<br />
readers will recall my recent Hyundai i20 Cross<br />
evaluation, the Rio shares the same driveline<br />
and it stands out for its willing nature and quiet<br />
operating manner.<br />
Not surprisingly, it feels a little different<br />
paired with a manual but the result is still<br />
satisfactory performance. The engine is rated<br />
with a 74kW power output along with 133Nm<br />
of torque, both outputs realised just a little<br />
lower than previously, 6000rpm and 4000rpm<br />
respectively. Although those figures are still<br />
high, in manual form, the engine pulls from low<br />
revolutions.<br />
The gearbox, too, is a beauty, the shifts<br />
are clean and precise and the gearing is well<br />
matched to the power outputs. There are also<br />
fuel economy benefits to be gleaned from the<br />
way the engine and transmission are matched,<br />
that taking into account the engine is a bit<br />
busier at highway speed than I was expecting,<br />
turning over at 2400rpm at 100km/h. That<br />
aside, there is still an instantaneous fuel usage<br />
reading of just 5l/100km (56mpg). I made an<br />
early reset of the trip computer and during my<br />
time with the test car it never consumed more<br />
than a 7l/100km (40mpg) average which sits<br />
well with Kia’s claim f 5.6l/100km (<strong>50</strong>mpg).<br />
I took the test car on my normal scenic<br />
highway route. The Rio cruises the open road<br />
quietly and has solid road presence. When it<br />
comes time to tackle the odd corner or two<br />
it has deliberate steering and nice chassis<br />
balance, that taking into account the rear<br />
suspension has limited movement due to the<br />
use of a cross beam tube axle, which doesn’t<br />
offer the freedom of a fully independent type.<br />
Nevertheless, the spring and damper rates have<br />
been worked out intelligently, there is just the<br />
right amount of firmness needed to arrest body<br />
movement along with the compliance needed<br />
for comfort.<br />
Interestingly, the Kumho tyres are smallish<br />
in stature at 185/65 x 17in, and they are a low<br />
rolling resistance type, which help promote<br />
realistic fuel usage figures. They are also<br />
quiet-riding and don’t complain about New<br />
Zealand’s course chip seal. They also provide<br />
secure feedback to the steering wheel and are<br />
directional when presented with a quick corner.<br />
There are a plethora of small cars landing<br />
in the global market at the moment, especially<br />
those from Korea. The interesting thing to note<br />
is that many of them are now arriving in hybrid<br />
form and I’ll be evaluating several in the next<br />
few months.<br />
For those who like the traditional, the Rio is<br />
there to please. I’m not sure how many manual<br />
units will be sold, New Zealanders just like<br />
their autos way too much, and with only $1000<br />
difference the automatic is by far the most<br />
tempting proposition.<br />
However, Kia here must be confident it can<br />
sell the stick-shift in enough numbers to justify<br />
its inclusion in the line-up. If I was a Rio buyer it<br />
would be the one for me.<br />

Nickie Wellbourn as Sister Mary Lazarus<br />
Scene from Sister Act<br />
The latest production from Christchurch theatre company Showbiz<br />
Christchurch demonstrates that, while many of today’s popular shows<br />
feature a young cast, there are still opportunities for the more mature<br />
singers, actors and dancers to perform on stage.<br />
Sister Act – A Divine Musical Comedy is the company’s final production<br />
for the <strong>2017</strong> season, and as marketing manager Wendy Riley explains,<br />
the story requires a number of the cast members to be in the older<br />
age group.<br />
One of the principal nuns, Sister Mary Lazarus, is being played by longtime<br />
Showbiz member Nickie Wellbourn. Nickie has been involved in<br />
theatre for over 30 years, and played her first role for Showbiz in their<br />
1987 production of Chicago. She describes Sister Act as a “blessing in<br />
disguise”, and says that while many stage productions feature young<br />
actors and dancers, this one calls for a more “worldly-wise” cast,<br />
and even though it is a role that requires some physical effort, she is<br />
thoroughly enjoying it.<br />
“It’s great being with the same age group and catching up with people<br />
and being all together. I’m looking forward to opening night.”<br />
For productions when she is not on stage, Nickie is involved in much<br />
of the backstage work, including makeup. Like many of the Showbiz<br />
company members, she has a full-time job, but outside work she is<br />
“fully immersed” in theatre activities, including being artistic director<br />
for a corporate entertainment organisation. She has also been part of<br />
the Canterbury Children’s Theatre and other theatre groups.<br />
Wardrobe manager for Showbiz Diane Brodie QSM has been involved<br />
with the company since 1973. She is responsible for keeping all the<br />
company’s costumes in tip-top condition and organising fittings for<br />
every production, a role she calls a “lifetime vocation”.<br />
“I enjoy the creativity involved, the contact with people and the<br />
general excitement of being caught up in the productions, but it’s very<br />
challenging too.”<br />
Diane says Sister Act is “one of the most enjoyable shows” she’s been<br />
involved with.<br />
“It’s great fun. It’s a joyous show, and that rubs off on the whole<br />
production. I’m enjoying being part of it. It’s also an opportunity for<br />
some of the company members, who are not suitable for some other<br />
shows, to perform.”<br />
Both Nickie and Diane say there is no age limit to being part of a<br />
theatrical company like Showbiz, whether on stage or behind the<br />
scenes.<br />
“People don’t realise that for any show there is a whole production<br />
team back stage. And I appreciate that, because I couldn’t do what I do<br />
without them,” Nickie says.<br />
And as Diane points out, “Showbiz has opportunities for all age groups.<br />
There is no age limit, and we have a large team of volunteers and<br />
helpers.”<br />
Wendy Riley says many Showbiz members juggle careers with their<br />
voluntary theatre activities, finding the time to rehearse and perform in<br />
the evenings and weekends.<br />
“It’s a big commitment – for rehearsals and during the season.”<br />
The Showbiz team is “like a big extended family, and a lot of joy comes<br />
out of it”, Wendy says.<br />
About Sister Act - A Divine Musical Comedy<br />
The story follows the exploits of 1970s wannabe disco diva Deloris Van<br />
Cartier as she escapes from her gangster boyfriend. Having witnessed<br />
him commit a murder, she is put in protective custody in the one place<br />
the cops are sure she won’t be a found: a convent!<br />
Disguised as a nun, Deloris finds herself at odds with the rigid lifestyle<br />
of the nuns and their uptight Mother Superior. Using her unique<br />
disco moves and singing talent, she inspires the nuns to create a more<br />
contemporary choir and they become the hit of the community. Word<br />
of their success reaches her ex-boyfriend Curtis, who arrives with his<br />
gang to settle the score with Deloris.<br />
The Showbiz Christchurch production of Sister Act – A Divine Musical<br />
Comedy will be presented at the Isaac Theatre Royal from September<br />
8-23.<br />

services, says executive director of Arts Access<br />
Aotearoa Richard Benge.<br />
“This is research that applies equally to New<br />
Zealand, and can help us meet some of the<br />
very real challenges facing our health and social<br />
services,” he says.<br />
“Challenges such as our ageing population<br />
and the increase in people experiencing mental<br />
illness and distress.”<br />
Creative Health: the arts for health and<br />
wellbeing is a 190-page report based on<br />
research commissioned by an All-Party<br />
Parliamentary Group on Arts, Health and<br />
Wellbeing in the UK. Research over two<br />
years included hundreds of interviews and<br />
dozens of case studies with patients, medical<br />
and social work professionals, artists and arts<br />
administrators, academics, policy-makers and<br />
politicians.<br />
A 2014 Creative New Zealand survey shows<br />
nearly 90 per cent of New Zealanders think<br />
the arts are good for us and more than 80 per<br />
cent think the arts help improve society.<br />
Providing access to artistic<br />
expression<br />
In towns and cities throughout New Zealand,<br />
there are community-based art hubs – “creative<br />
spaces” – providing people with access to<br />
artistic expression (visual art, dance, drama,<br />
music making) in supportive and empowering<br />
settings.<br />
Many of these spaces cater for mental health<br />
service users, people with intellectual or<br />
physical disabilities, or young people. Others<br />
are open to everyone and attract a crosssection<br />
of the community.<br />
Unfortunately, most of these creative spaces<br />
in New Zealand are underfunded and underresourced,<br />
Mr Benge says.<br />
“This UK research is an opportunity for local<br />
and central government to recognise the role<br />
of creative spaces in our communities, fund<br />
them adequately, and enable them to continue<br />
using creativity to address the demands on our<br />
health and social services.”<br />
Pablos Art Studios in Wellington, for example,<br />
provides free access to an art studio, materials<br />
and tutor support. The recipient of the Arts<br />
Access Holdsworth Creative Space Award<br />
<strong>2017</strong>, it has supported thousands of people<br />
who have experienced mental ill-health or<br />
become socially isolated.<br />
Director of Pablos, Deidre Dahlberg, says<br />
people whose self-esteem and sense of<br />
connection have been damaged often require<br />
a bridge between the health system and their<br />
family, friends and the wider community.<br />
“Pablos provides that bridge,” she says.<br />
“People can use creativity as a means to<br />
get back out into the world, whether they<br />
SPECIAL PRICE<br />
have burnt out, gone through depression<br />
or are living on the street. People can leave<br />
their troubles at the door and rebuild their<br />
confidence and resilience through creative<br />
work and overcoming creative challenges.”<br />

a stroke in this country every year – basically<br />
3<br />
one an hour, every day of the year. In 2009, it<br />
was estimated that stroke costs the country an<br />
estimated $4<strong>50</strong> million every year.<br />
The UK report highlights a music therapy<br />
project between an orchestra and a stroke<br />
service. An evaluation of the music project<br />
showed that 86 per cent of patient participants<br />
cited relief in disability symptoms such as<br />
reduced anxiety, improved concentration, and<br />
increased confidence and morale.<br />
In Auckland, the creative space Mãpura<br />
Studios runs an art therapy programme for<br />
people who have experienced stroke. Its<br />
director, Diana McPherson, says that hospitals<br />
deal with healing the body but when people<br />
who have had a stroke go back to their<br />
community, they are not equipped to deal with<br />
the emotional and psychological impact.<br />
“The programme has been running for seven<br />
years and we’ve worked with more than 100<br />
people in that time,” Ms McPherson says.<br />
“We’ve seen significant improvements in<br />
their confidence and ability to adjust and fit<br />
back into their changed lives.”<br />

“We’ve never been so social”<br />
Joy and Bill have been at Summerset for just over<br />
three years and held their golden wedding anniversary<br />
celebration at the retirement village last year.<br />
Their spacious villa is often filled with family when<br />
they’re not flat out enjoying village activities with friends,<br />
including the very popular Wine Appreciation Group.<br />
They’re loving the life, and as Bill says, “The added<br />
advantage is that you have a support crew if something<br />
goes wrong and that to me is reassuring.”<br />
