$1.2m plan for school site
Football fields
and skate park
in draft design
• By Louis Day
PLANS FOR a new $1.2 million
park on the old Redcliffs School
site have been released.
The city council has proposed
converting the site into a park
to compensate for the loss
of Redcliffs Park, which will
accommodate the new school.
The draft landscape plan is
open for public consultation
until December 17. Once
consultation has finished, the
Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board will make a
recommendation on the park’s
future to the city council.
It would be called Te Papa
Kura, a name gifted by local iwi.
Papa means park and kura can
mean both school and red.
One junior and one
intermediate football field,
a toilet, drinking fountain,
additional furniture and new
signage will all be added to the
park.
The existing playground,
furniture, car park and a
community building will be kept
on the site.
The site is also being
considered as a possible location
for a skate park as part of the
Bays Area Skate Project.

“The new park will offer
Real Estate with Integrity
the same sport and recreation
opportunities as the former park
– sports fields, a playground,
a community building, toilets
and car parking. We will also be
adding a perimeter path.”
Ms Russell said the city council
was aiming to start and finish
construction next year, with the
football fields predicted to be
ready before winter.
However, Friends of Redcliffs
Park spokesman Chris Doudney
said the relocation of the park
and the school was “totally
pointless”.
“The old school site is on the
same side of the road to about
80 per cent of its pupils so kids
don’t have to cross the main road.
It’s also higher than the new site
which is a flood plain.”
Mr Doudney also has issues
with the plans for the new park.
“I’m glad they are keeping a
couple of the trees but I think
they should keep a few more. I
thought that they should move
one of the playing fields a bit
further away from the other one
so there is room to keep another
tree or two and to get a path
between the two playing fields.”
Mr Doudney said the best
thing the city council could do
was to move the school back to its
old site and leave Redcliffs Park
where it was.

THE WHEELS of progress are turning
very quickly at the old Redcliffs School site.
We report on page 1 today the plans for
the site, which include football fields and
landscaping.
It will be good use of the contentious
land.
Redcliffs doesn’t have a great deal of public space, so at least
sport and other activities can be played and held on the site.
It will be no consolation to Friends of Redcliffs Park which
has been trying without luck to stop the school being resited
there. That plan, too, is full steam ahead.
Also today, we have the outcome of the eco-burial saga in
Diamond Habrour (page 3) and former reporter Matt Salmons

Widow’s hope fades
• By Louis Day
ANN THORNTON’S hopes
of being buried alongside her
husband are fading following the
city council’s unchanged stance
on pre-purchasing graves.
The city council decided
against altering its Cemeteries
Bylaw and Handbook that prevents
people from pre-purchasing
graves at its meeting last week.
Mrs Thronton’s husband,
Jim, was the first to be buried in
Diamond Harbour’s eco-burial
site last November. Three of the
12 plots have been filled since the
eco-burial site opened and more
than 70 people have signalled an
interest in being buried on the
site.
In spite of fears the cemetery
would fill up, Mrs Thorton remained
optimistic.
“There was the suggestion of
a possibility for the opportunity
to revisit the issue when more
research is completed. With more
research available I am hopeful
that the council will arrive at an
informed and compassionate
solution to the issue.”
Deputy Mayor Andrew Turner
was not happy with the decision.
“The particular area where I
would be keen for us to show
more compassion would be
where when one partner has
already been buried at the green
burial plot in Diamond Harbour
and the ability to reserve a plot
for that other partner.”

the Diamond Harbour eco-burial

Cr Turner said the demand
from the community was too
great to ignore.

would lead to a

to create more space for green
burials which may well be the

City councillor Mike Davidson
said there already a capacity issue
with cemeteries.
“One of the biggest issues
with pre-purchasing plots is that
everyone is taking them and then
we have got these cemeteries
with lots of vacant plots in there
that have been pre-purchased for
decades.”

Confusion
over new
road sign
A NEW road sign has been a
source of confusion for Governors
Bay residents.
The electric sign tells motorists
to watch their speed leaving Governors
Bay, about 400m before the
speed limit increases to 60km/h on
Dyers Pass Rd.
Governors Bay resident John
Bannock said it would have made
more sense to have the sign facing
the other way.
“It seems a bit crazy because it’s
facing the traffic that is leaving
Governors Bay and then if you’re
leaving via Dyers Pass Rd you
go up about 300m and you hit a
60km/h speed sign saying you can
go faster anyway.”
Mr Bannock said the sign was
of no benefit to the residents of
Governors Bay.
City council Transport Operations
Manager Steffan Thomas,
however, said the city council had
no plans to move it.
“When determining the best
locations for the sign within our
context, staff considered where
and in which direction speeding
was most prevalent, and where it
was most important for safety that
speeding is targeted.”

‘We’ve got the best bar in town’
• By Louis Day
THE SUMNER Tennis and
Squash Club’s renovated courts
and a brand new bar are the
best in town, president Phil
Loughnan says.
The club reopened at the
weekend after six months of
being closed and members were
able to see the renovated tennis
and squash courts, changing
rooms, kitchen and bar.
Mr Loughnan said the new
bar made it one of the best sports
clubs to have a beer at in the city.
“Now that we have the new
sliding doors which open out, the
new bar, the leaners that look on
to the tennis courts, it’s the best
bar in bloody Christchurch,” he
said.
The club suffered significant
damage following the February
22, 2011, earthquake with cracks
stretching across the tennis
courts.
The 1970s building was also
beginning to show its age.
“In the 70s when they built
buildings I think they just
chucked them together, for the
last 50 odd years it never had
anything done to it. It was an
untidy dirty old place, we needed
to start again,” Mr Loughnan
said.
The renovated building has

themselves whether the club had

Port Hills tracks add to fire threat
• By Louis Day
UNAUTHORISED cycle and
walking tracks in the Port Hills
could contribute to the start of
another disastrous fire.
Lyttelton resident Wendy
Everingham said the city council
desperately needs to adopt a
policy that stopped people from
creating their own cycle and
walking tracks across the Port
Hills.
“If the water is on an ordinary
surface, it is dispersing through
that land mass
more evenly,
but as soon as
you open up the
land with tracks,
you create little
streams and

parts of the
reserve and you
get some places
which are drier than others.”
Mrs Everingham said she
was appalled by the number of
unauthorised tracks that were
being made on the Port Hills.
“Up on the Urumau Reserve I
saw someone had come through
and cut down quite a lot of trees,
so they were opening up an
area that was supposed to be for
forest.”
Mrs Everingham said she had
also noticed an unauthorised
track which went through
Steadfast land and the
Whakaraupo Reserve.
City council acting head
of parks Kate Russell said
the illegal track that entered
Steadfast land and Whakaraupo
Reserve had been closed and
rangers were investigating other
tracks in the Port Hills.
“We have out signs reading
‘track closed, no access’,” she
said.
“We have discussed with local
community-users and reserve
committees that the track is not
to be used and developed any

work may be carried out to
further exclude access to the
track.”
Ms Russell warned that some
of the unauthorised tracks
ventured into areas of potential
rockfall risk.
“This [Steadfast and
Whakaraupo Reserve] track did
follow a route that would take
people into a zone of rockfall
that has not been mitigated or
had recent inspections.”
Ms Russell said a geotechnical

undertaken to determine how
great the risk of rockfall was in
those areas.
Ms Russell asked people to
consider the consequences of
their actions before forming
their own tracks.
“If people carry out
unauthorised work, there is
the risk of unsafe tracks
being developed as well
as serious impacts to the
environment which can take
many years to repair. We
invite people to contact the
council or their local reserve
committee to provide ideas on

Fire rages, homes at risk
35-year bach
leases a
step closer
TAYLORS MISTAKE bach
owners have moved a step closer
to securing 35-year licences.
The city council accepted the
recommendations from the Taylors
Mistake working party, led by
city councillor Sara Templeton, to
grant licences to baches of heritage
value.
Thirteen of the baches assessed
have been classed as moderate to
high risk from natural hazards.
This means owners will have to
mitigate the hazards out of their
own pocket.
Taylor Mistake Association
president Brent Gilpin remained
optimistic any risk of damage
could be mitigated. He was satisfied
with the 35-year licences as
long as there was the option to renew
them. “This is not about just
managing them in my lifetime,
I want them to be used for generations.
If the licence was for 35
years and that was it, that would
be a disappointing outcome.”
The city council plan for the
baches is out for public consultation
until January 14. A hearings
panel will then consider submissions
before making a recommendation
to the council next year.

Principal goes for swim at school fair
Event raises $30k in spite of weather
• By Louis Day
REDCLIFFS SCHOOL still
managed to raise more than
$30,000 at its fair on Sunday
in the face of wet and windy
weather.
School principal Rose
McInerney, who went for a swim
in the dunk tank, said there was
still more money to come.
“We had two amazing cubby
houses at the fair and because we
couldn’t paint them at the fair
because of the weather, they still
have to be finished and auctioned
off on Trade Me, so they will
potentially bring in another
$5000,” said Mrs McInerney.
More than 2000 people
attended the fair and were treated
to a wide variety of sideshows and
activities, such as mini golf, dunk
the teacher, mini jeep trucks and
a horizontal bungy.
Pupils opened the fair by
performing kapa haka and
singing choir songs.
“Our (pupils) were incredible,
I think they got about 4min of
singing without rain and sung
their little hearts out for another
20min in the rain.”
Mrs McInerney said the money
raised would go a long way in
improving the experience of
pupils at the school.
“Some of it will go towards
additional teaching resources to
provide extra opportunity for
our students and some of it is
definitely going to go towards the
outdoor areas and seating for our
new school.”
Mrs McInerney said the fair
could have quite easily been
a failure if it were not for the
resilience of the community.
“For our school community
and the wider community to get
behind the school fair and come
along out in the wind and rain, I
just think it speaks volumes about
who they are.”

First week on the job and
baby takes her first steps
VITTORIA HAS taken
her first independent steps.
And all five of them were
away from me.
I don’t mean that in
some metaphorical sense,
they were literally away
from me and she hasn’t
walked again . . . yet.
While we played in the
hall, my wife Laura called
her over and she turned
away from me and walked
the half metre over to her
mum.
Laura’s proud as punch
and I’m super-excited
about what this means for
my time as a stay-at-homedad.
However, I’m still
jealous that all five of her
steps so far have been away
from me. Dumb, huh?
Luckily, I did not have
time to spend moping –
November 13 was B-Day.
My first official stay-athome-dad
day.
It was like D-Day, except
without the guns, the
soldiers, the beach landing
or other adults.
I think I did really well,
but it showcased what I
think will be a hurdle for
me.
I’d had a couple of
training days over the
weekend as Laura went
out with friends and to
organise a few things
before starting back at
work.
On the Friday, I took
Vittoria for a walk, got a
slice of pizza and chased
some ducks.
All good stuff in lieu of
baby times at the library,
which would’ve been on if
it wasn’t Show Day.
However, the weather
last week put walks out
of the question and there
were still no free activities
on nearby.
It forced me to think of
something to do. Before I
could have just followed
Laura’s routine.
But that’s just it, it’s
Laura’s routine.
Now that I’m in charge
(in theory, Vittoria tends
to dispute that) on the
home front, organising
outings and thinking up
things to do is on me.
VITTORIA
& Matt
In stereotypical male
fashion, I decided on a
trip to get some bits to do
some repairs at home – fix
all Vittoria’s broken bibs
using hammered in snap
fasteners.
But I wonder if I’ll
manage to keep conjuring
ideas to keep us occupied
before I hit a wall of sorts
and spend every day
there’s no activity at home
in my pyjamas being hit in
the head with toys.
More to the point, I
hope those ideas can
include other grown-ups
so I can sneak in the odd
conversation that doesn’t
include the phrases “please
don’t cry” and “eat that” or
“the cat doesn’t like being
climbed on.”

WHAT DO you get when
you combine a cheap

skilled wood carving, grey
paint and an old bedside

Along with a good dose
of clever software engineering,
the answer is a simulated
x-ray control panel
that looks and acts like the
real thing.
At a fraction of the price
of a normal x-ray control
panel, the device has been
created by staff at Christchurch
Hospital and Ara
Institute of Canterbury.
It will allow radiology
students to be able to
practice x-ray techniques
in a safe, radiation-free environment
in the Manawa
Simulation Centre.
The health and education
facility has a simulation
floor which enables largescale
simulations in real
world health-care environments.
Students also get access
to clinical equipment
that they would normally
only see during placements.
Functioning X-ray control
panels are required in
the medical imaging area,
said bio-medical engineer
Michael Sheedy.
“These are very expensive
but in a few weeks we were
able to design and produce
a replica at an extremely
reduced cost that emulates
everything the real one can
do,” he said.

More than
1000 signatures
on cafe petition
• By Louis Day
THE PETITION to extend the
building approval at the Godley
House site currently occupied by
Dark Star Ale House and Cafe
has received more than 1000
signatures.
Statutory building approval for
the cafe building, the equivalent
of a building and resource consent,
was obtained by a previous
owner through emergency earthquake
legislation.
That approval expired in April
but was extended to June 2021.
The petition on change.org calls
for the sites statutory building approval
to be extended “until such
time as new services are built on
the Godley House site” to attract
a new business to take over from
the Dark Star when it closes in
March.
Dark Star co-owner Donna
Richardson said she and her husband
had tried to sell the business,
but the limited time remaining
on the site’s building approval
put potential buyers off. She said
the signatures showed the community
wanted another cafe to
take over from the Dark Star.
Mrs Richardson plans to
present the petition to the Banks
Peninsula Community Board
within the next couple of months.

City2Surf to celebrate 45 years
STAR MEDIA will celebrate
45 years since participants in
the City2Surf hit the ground
running.
Since 1975, Star Media’s
City2Surf, one of the South
Island’s largest participation
events, has brought thousands
of people together for fun and
fitness.
On March 24, City2Surf will
celebrate its 45th anniversary.
A lot has changed since the
event’s humble beginnings.
However, it still remains first
and foremost a fun run.
Originally, the City2Surf
would start in Cathedral Square
and end at New Brighton beach.
Later, the finish line was
changed to QE II stadium.
In 2011, following the
earthquake, the event had to be
cancelled as parts of the eastern
route were broken.
Now the start line for the
14km event is at Centennial Park
and the Sport Canterbury 6km
event begins at Hansen Park,
Opawa.
Both events finish at the
Ferrymead playing fields with
FREE entry given to participants
into Ferrymead Historic Park.
Over the years, City2Surf
has helped to burn more than
184,730,000 calories, says event

manager Jon Holmes.
“The amount of kilometres
run during this event is enough
to run around the world 120
times,” he said.
Entries to participate in
the 2019 City2Surf open on
Saturday.
The Star Media 14km event
with Les Mills and Sport
Canterbury 6km option means
there is always something
suitable for all runners and
walkers of all fitness types.
Participants can choose to
either take part individually or
in a team.
At this year’s event, there were
more than 170 team entries,
including teams of doctors,
construction works, accountants
and scientists.

benefitted from the City2Surf

GREAT READS INSTORE NOW
Becoming
by Michelle Obama
In a life filled with meaning and accomplishment, Michelle Obama
has emerged as one of the most iconic and compelling women
of our era. As First Lady of the United States of America-the first
African-American to serve in that role-she helped create the most
welcoming and inclusive White House in history, while also
establishing herself as a powerful advocate for women and girls
in the U.S. and around the world, dramatically changing the ways
that families pursue healthier and more active lives, and standing
with her husband as he led America through some of its most
harrowing moments. In her memoir, a work of deep reflection
and mesmerizing storytelling, Michelle Obama invites readers
into her world, chronicling the experiences that have shaped
her-from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years
as an executive balancing the demands of motherhood and work,
to her time spent at the world’s most famous address. Warm,
wise, and revelatory, Becoming is the deeply personal reckoning
of a woman of soul and substance who has steadily defied
expectations-and whose story inspires us to do the same.
Houses of Aotearoa
by Andrew Patterson
In Maori culture, architecture is approached as a construction
of beliefs: a building must emulate and amplify personalities,
hopes and aspirations, becoming the physical expression of
those who inhabit it. These ideas and others are the inspirations
behind the house projects of New Zealand architect Andrew
Patterson, who has been designing houses and civic projects
in the country for over thirty years and was awarded the New
Zealand Institute of Architects 2017 Gold Medal. This book
showcases seventeen of Patterson’s recent houses, in some of the most dramatic locations in New Zealand,
from stunning seascape retreats to hillside cabins. Each house reveals how Patterson’s architecture responds
to the region’s breathtaking landscapes to tell the story of the country’s cultural history and to create a sense
of place and belonging. This fully illustrated, large-format overview is interspersed with thematic sections that
present Patterson’s key influences and the culture and lifestyles of New Zealand more broadly, particularly
Maori language, history and mythology.
Homebody
A Guide to Creating Spaces you Never Want to Leave
by Joanna Gaines
In Homebody, Joanna Gaines walks you through how to create
a home that reflects the personalities and stories of the people
who live there. Using examples from her own farmhouse as well
as a range of other homes, this comprehensive guide will help
you assess your priorities and instincts, as well as your likes and
dislikes, with practical steps for navigating and embracing your
authentic design style. Room by room, Homebody gives you an
in-depth look at how these styles are implemented as well as how
to blend the looks you’re drawn to in order to create spaces that
feel distinctly yours. A removable design template at the back of
the book offers a step-by-step guide to planning and sketching out
your own design plans. The insight shared in Homebody will instill
in you the confidence to thoughtfully create spaces you never want
to leave.
The Great Cave Rescue
The extraordinary story of the Thai boy soccer team
trapped in a cave for 18 days
by James Massoda
Keen to go exploring after soccer practice, the boys of the Wild Boars
soccer team ignored the sign at the cave entrance warning visitors not
to enter during the monsoon season. What followed was a high-stakes
international mission that very nearly didn’t succeed. The ordeal riveted
millions around the world. First came the awful news that twelve Thai
boys, aged 11 to 17, and their young coach were missing. Then the
flickering video of the huddle of anxious and hungry boys found by a pair
of British divers nine days later. But the most difficult part was yet to come.
Monsoon rains had raised the water level in the cave system, and the
boys were trapped in an air pocket, surrounded by rising muddy water,
over two kilometres from the cave entrance. None of them knew how to
dive. Expert British, Australian, American, Chinese and other international
divers joined the Thai Navy SEALs and hundreds of local volunteers to
mount one of the most risky and complex rescue operations the world
has ever seen. Australian doctor Richard Harris and his dive partner, Craig
Challen.

FOR ONLY
100-YEARS: Dorothy Perkins (middle in red) marked her 100th birthday on Friday
with family who travelled from Dunedin, Invercargill, Tauranga and England.
Sumner centenarian
celebrates with family
DOROTHY Perkins
celebrated her 100th
birthday on Friday.
She was joined by family
and friends from Dunedin,
Invercargill, Tauranga and
as far away as England at
Edith Cavell Lifecare and
Village in Sumner.
Miss Perkins received
letters congratulating
her from the Queen, Port
Hills MP Ruth Dyson and
several people living on
Stewart Island. She was the
district nurse on Stewart
Island from 1965-1972,
where she would look after
seasick ferry passengers,
newborn babies, the elderly,
and accident victims.
Miss Perkins became
famous throughout the
community for driving
what relatives described as
a “green army jeep” to see
patients across the island.
Her cousin Robert
Overton said Miss Perkins
was often on call 24 hours
a day as she was the only
nurse on the island.
“She had to be a bit of
everything there. There
wasn’t even a doctor on the
island.”
Before she was the
district nurse on Stewart
Island, Miss Perkins
worked at St Helen’s
Hospital in Sydenham, Dee
St Maternity Hospital in
Invercargill and was also
matron at the Lumsden
Maternity Centre.
After seven years
of service on Stewart
Island, Miss Perkins
retired in Christchurch
but continued to care for
family and friends.
“Dot has been the lady
who has moved where the
need has been to look after
people. She looked after
both my wife’s parents and
my parents before they
passed away,” Mr Overton
said.
Miss Perkins was driving
people to church, getting
her own groceries and
looking after herself in
her Redcliffs home until
Christmas last year, when
she moved to Edith Cavell
Lifecare and Village.
Mr Overton said Miss
Perkins would always put
the needs of other people
before her own. “Dot never
wanted to be a worry. If she
fell at two in the morning
she would wait till six to
call the buzzer. One day
she had a fall in the garden
so she shuffled into a bush
and did some weeding
while she waited for help
to arrive. She’s not one to
cause a fuss.”

New manager for Health Harbour plan
Fire rages, homes at risk
GOVERNORS BAY resident
Karen Banwell has been
appointed manager of the Whaka
Ora Healthy Harbour plan.
The final plan, which was
launched in March, sets out
an aspirational vision for
the harbour to restore the
ecological and cultural health of
Whakaraupō/Lyttelton Harbour
from the mountains to the sea.
Dr Banwell started in the role
this month. She will be based at
Rapaki Marae, but will also have
the opportunity to spend time
with each partner organisation.
However, her main time will be
out among the community.
Whaka Ora Healthy Harbour
governance group chairwoman
Yvette Couch-Lewis said
community involvement was
important to the five partners
– Environment Canterbury,
Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke, Te
Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, the city
council, and the Lyttelton Port
Company.
ECan zone delivery manager
Paul Hulse said Dr Banwell
would be an asset to the plan
implementation team.
“She comes with a wealth
of experience within plan
implementation and has great
connections with people in the
harbour already,” he said.
Dr Banwell has previously
worked for city council and
ECan as a senior strategy adviser,
but more recently worked as a
strategic planning advisor at
Regenerate Christchurch.
She is currently chairwoman of
the Governors Bay Community
Association, a trustee of the Avon
Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust
NEW ROLE: Whaka Ora

by Lyttelton Primary School
students.
and recently completed a PhD
in geography on community
resilience.
Dr Banwell said she could not
wait to start her new role.
“I was sent the job description
by multiple people who said this
is written for you.”
“This job was pretty much
a culmination of my work
experience and what I love to do
and I’m committed to working
with the harbour community
for ecological and cultural
outcomes,” Dr Banwell said.
Dr Banwell’s appointment
was officially announced at
Lyttelton Primary School on
Thursday.
Sumner woman in new baby theatre
BABIES AND theatre are not
usually two things that are put
together.
In fact, any parent who have
taken a baby to a performance
know it can be challenging at
best and a disaster at worst.
Turning that whole idea on
its head is Sumner’s Hannah
Wheeler, Burwood’s Melanie
Luckman and Strowan’s Amy
Straker.
The three performers will
perform their show Up And
Away, which is designed
especially for pre-walking
babies in New Brighton and
Phillipstown.
The show will be staged
through the newly launched
Cubbin Theatre Company.
The company aims to develop
genuine theatre works for
children under the age of five.
Each performance will
last about 30-40min with an
opportunity for families to stay
and play at the end.
The show will also be taking
place in a carefully crafted tent.
“Our vision is of a world where
high-quality art is as integral to
early childhood as the
playground and as accessible,”
Luckman said.
She said it has been great
working with the city council’s
Enliven Places Project Fund for
this tour.
Luckman said with the
MAGICAL: Hannah Wheeler and Amy Straker performing in
their show Up and Away –which is designed especially for
pre-walking babies.
funding’s help, it could offer the
show for $5 for a baby and adult
together.
The show is informed by
neuroscientific research and has
been developed in consultation
with a speech and language
therapist through a series of
rehearsal workshops with babies.
Wheeler was working at LATT
Children’s Theatre and living in
South Korea when she saw her
first baby theatre performance.
“It was five years ago and what
I experienced has stuck with me
ever since. I am really excited
about bringing high quality,
respectful and intelligent theatre
to children in Christchurch,” she
said.
Up and Away runs Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday at The
Old School Te Kura Tawhito
on Hawke St in New Brighton
and December 6 and 7 at the
Phillipstown Hub on 39 Nursery
Rd. Bookings can be made

SEVENTY descendants of
Samuel Manson, who was
known as “head of the bay”,
recently gathered at the stone
cottage in Orton Bradley
Park to celebrate their ancestor.
Samuel Manson, who
was believed to be the first
carpenter in Christchurch,
built the original cottage
in 1848. After a seven-year
restoration process following
the February 22, 2011,
earthquake, the cottage
reopened its doors to the
public in May.
Great great grandson
of Samuel, Max Manson,
presented a portrait of the
carpenter to the Orton
Bradley Park Board
chairman Simon Mortlock.
Mr Manson spoke of the
pride which the Mansons
have in the history of
pioneers in the family. That
also included Jean Manson,
who mothered 17 children.
Mr Manson also paid
tribute to his cousin Janet
O’Loughlan, who organised
the day with her niece,
Robyn Cody, printed a
booklet y and organised
displays of old photographs
and other memorabilia in the
old school house.
PRIDE: Janet Loughlan, Max Manson, Simon Martin and Robyn Cody presented of the
portrait of Samuel Manson to the Orton Bradley Park Board.

McKay exhibition in Akaroa
• By Louis Day
AKAROA MUSEUM is
holding an exhibition that
celebrates the career of retired
photographer Donald McKay.
At the start of the year, Mr
McKay donated more than
40,000 individual frames to the
museum which date from the
late 1940s to the early 1980s.
The collection of photos
document social and community
events, weddings, farming
activities and other aspects of
life across the Banks Peninsula.
Mr McKay, 84, grew up on a
farm in Le Bons Bay and began
taking photos at Christchurch
Boy’s High School when he
joined the camera club.
Mr McKay sold his bike and
his best pair of shoes to buy a
second-hand camera from H.E
Perry in Colombo St.
“We had some really, really
good instructors, including Len
Casbolt and Frank McGregor.
Also, I used to spend a lot of
time at my uncle Stan McKay’s
as he was the Christchurch Star
Sun photographer and his son
Ross was a skilled horse racing
photographer. I used to admire
their beautiful cameras and

Mr McKay started his first
photography job in 1961 at
Burwood Hospital as a medical
photographer, but would still
travel back to the peninsula
during the weekend to photograph
various community
events. Museum collections
manager Daniel Smith said the
exhibition would focus on Mc-
Kay’s work during the 1950s.
“During the 50s he was doing
a lot of odd jobs as well as
photography. He did a lot a lot
of farm work and he would also
take his camera with him when
he was working on his farm
jobs.”
Mr Smith said the exhibition
would include some of McKay’s
most explicit work.
“I’ve included a photograph
from a series that follows the

of lambs at Lavericks Bay
in 1951. It was a grisly affair.
The tails were cut off with
knives, and you can see all the

The exhibition will open
on December 7 at 5pm at the

Developing young surfers
Steve Tyro
from the Point
Surf Team
writes about
getting his
club of young
groms ready
for a summer
of surfing competitions
POINT SURF Team was formed
in 1983 and is the local surf
boardriders club in the Sumner
and Taylors Mistake area.
In the past, the club has had
several national champions and
dominated the South Island
circuit for many years.
The current focus of the club is
on developing its junior surfing
section by encouraging primary
and high school-aged surfers to
enter surfing contests around the
country and locally, and also act
responsibly/respectfully in the
surf.
We meet regularly for surf
training and drills at Hardwicke
St or at Taylors Mistake. The
past winter’s focus has been on
preparing for the New Zealand
primary school champs in
Gisborne.
The club sent a team of two
boys and three girls to the event
last month.
We have been preparing for
the South Island grom series
on Saturday and events over

summer in Christchurch,
Westport, Dunedin, Southland
and Kaikoura. Last year’s South
Island contest results were very
encouraging for the club with
Amelie Wink, Jack Tyro, Jordan
Sparrow, Holly Campbell, Ruby
Armstrong, Benji Lowen and
Kobe Coleman all making the
podium.
As well as Sumner and Taylors
Mistake, we especially want to
encourage kids from Lyttelton,
Redcliffs, Heathcote and Mt
Pleasant to consider getting into
competitive surfing.

down on the water
Lyttelton
navigational

Gary Manch
WELL our
first seasonal
boating
weekend has
been and
gone, with show weekend in
Canterbury traditionally the
start of the boating season.
It was a weekend where the
weather turned out better than
forecast. We had quite a few
boats out and about on our waterways
through the region.
The good news is we had very
few complaints about bad behaviour
on the water, and I thank all
the responsible power boat and
jet ski users out there for that.
The bad news is I still received
complaints from some of the
residents in the bays, and it was
the annual comment about
speed. As I have mentioned several
times before, our role is not
to stop you having fun out there,
but we want everyone using the
waterways to be safe.
I keep stressing this and it’s
disappointing that some people
either chose to ignore the advice
or just don’t care. As my dear old
mum used to say: “Don’t care
was made to care.”
I would much rather educate
than use the other option, which
is issuing an infringement notice
to people who are boating unsafely.
However, there may come
a time when education is clearly
not working.
Now, I am guessing that if you
are out on the water for the day,
you are going to use a lot of fuel.
Let’s say $50 to $100 on a smaller
vessel.
Taking the scenario a step
further, if you are reported for
travelling faster than five knots
when within 50m of another
vessel or swimmer in the water,
or within 200m of the shore
unless the area is a designated
water-ski, or uplifted area, the
fine is $200.
I was not the greatest at maths
at school, but even I can work
out by going slower and keeping
to the safe limits, $200 is a lot of
money to save.
My advice this week is keep
your speeds to the required limit
as designated by the bylaw or
signs in the area. That way, you
will save money and I will save
ink.
Remember, nobody’s faster
than disaster

SUMNER LOST to Lancaster
Park on Saturday in their third
consecutive defeat of the season.
Sumner now sit in sixth place
on the championship ladder and
will be relying on other results
and a win against Burnside at the
weekend to make the semi-finals.
Sumner club captain Dan
Vann said the side have been
struggling to rediscover their
early season form in recent
weeks.
Sumner lost the toss and
batted first. Lancaster bowled
well and took early wickets to
have Sumner in trouble at 14/3.
A small fight back from opener
George Moore (25) and Dan
Vann (15) settled things slightly
before wickets continued to fall
until a last wicket partnership
of 22 gave Sumner a total of 100
all out.
In reply, Sumner made a great
start, picking up early wickets
and having Lancaster in serious
trouble at 39/5, largely due to
Dean Smith taking three early
wickets (3/3).
Slow bowlers Dan Vann (1/11)
and Jonny Percasky (1/13) put
the squeeze on, only conceding
24 from their 16 overs and
picking up a wicket each.
Lancaster Park eventually
decided to make a dash to get
over the line and it came off with
their No 8 batsman Will Ainsley
making a quick 27 to get them to
the total and the win.
Vann said it was the
side’s batting that let them
down.
“We just aren’t scoring enough
runs as a team,” he said.
“Early in the season, we were
the leading batting side in the
league and we still have four
of our batsmen in the top 10
run-scorers in the league. So we
know we have the ability to score

prevent Sumner falling to their third consecutive defeat.
the runs, it’s just a matter of
getting ourselves in and going on
to bigger scores.”
Vann remains confident his
side can bounce back against
seventh-place Burnside on
Saturday and reach the semifinals.
“The boys were disappointed
for sure but we know what we
need to do and how to address
it.”

THE Christchurch City Chorus
is putting on a festive show to
get everyone into the Christmas
spirit.
On December 15 the choir will
take the stage to perform The
Magic of Christmas.
Musical director Virginia

she said.
“We want everyone to come

She said about 80 members of

“We’ve got quartets singing,
we’ve got small groups singing,
we’ve got about 20 children who
will be performing,” she said.
“We’ll sing a lot of the classic
Christmas carols, but there will
also be a few songs that people
won’t know; songs from around
the world about Christmas.”

Drive past the petrol stations in a Kona
• By Ross Kiddie
THE FUTURE is now. Electric
vehicles are the talking point,
and while Tesla is seen as the
glamour brand and has stolen
the limelight in that part of the
market, it’s now time for the
mainstream manufacturers to
stand up and be counted.
Sure, there are a plethora of
petrol/electric hybrids available
in our market, and heaps
of pre-owned Nissan Leafs from
Japan, but there are just a few
electric-only models that can be
purchased new here.
One manufacturer which is
offering a good cross-section
of electric and hybrid models
is Hyundai. In recent times it
has launched a smallish liftback
model – the Ioniq – in electriconly
form (as well as hybrid), and
just lately the Kona has landed
with electric propulsion, bearing
in mind the small sport utility
vehicle is also here in normallyaspirated
and turbocharged petrol
variants.
When I look back in my diary
for this year, I see I’ve spent more
time in Kona than any other
model. It’s just as well then that
I like it, the Kona a neat mid-size
SUV which punches above its
weight in terms of driveability
and practicality. It lands here
HYUNDAI KONA: Plug it in and charge it up.
from $31,990, but it is a bit of a
step up to buy the electric Elite
64kWh at $79,990. Sure, there’s
a soon-to-be-launched lower
power version (39kWh), but
as with most new electric-only
models in the market there is a
price premium.
However, that’s no detraction,
the Kona EV is a fine piece of
work and it is a car which will go
a long way towards meeting the
sales target for EVs.
As mentioned, the Kona is
mid-size and there is little compromise
in the electric model.
Yes, the boot space is slightly
diminished but elsewhere you’ll
find little difference inside. That
is, unless you are the driver, the
controls and layout of the console
and dash area is quite different to
the standard car.
Notably, there are four push
buttons for the direct drive transmission,
all self-explanatory –
drive, reverse, park and neutral.
There are also paddle shifters;
well, they don’t really shift gears,
they simply add or reduce drag
on the electric motor to promote
the feeling of gearing. There
are also several drive modes to
increase or lower a sporty feel.
Ordinarily, the electric power
is ushered in with a solid surge
right from the point of first
movement. That’s because full
power is available instantly, and
if you take into account there
• Price – Hyundai Kona EV
Elite, $73,990
• Dimensions – Length,

• Configuration – Electric
motor, front-wheeldrive,
150kW, 395Nm,
automatic transmission.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 7.6sec
is 395Nm of torque on tap, the
Kona EV feels feisty.
In technical terms, there’s also
150kW of power available which
if you stack up against a petrol
engine, then it is biased towards
sporty.
If you are thinking that there
must be some trade-off in terms
of range then think again, the
Kona EV has a claimed travelling
distance of up to 480km between
charges.
That’s simply due to the number
of batteries, as mentioned, there is
64kWh of storage, and that along
with the latest generation Lithiumion
Polymer technology makes
the Kona outstanding in terms of
capacity.
The only downside of having
such capacity is the charge time;
to fully charge from empty takes
around nine hours, or 43 hours
from a three-pin plug wall socket.
That aside, most drivers don’t let
the batteries go that low, and with
the number of charging stations
being installed nationwide, that
needn’t be an issue.
The Kona is also a blast to
drive, it is fast – a standstill to
100km/h time of 7.6sec is possible
and it will scorch through
a highway overtake in 4sec, the
time it takes to make 120km/h
from 80km/h is blisteringly fast,
and that’s attributable to that high
torque figure the electric motor
develops.
For an SUV, the Kona is
delightfully agile, and I’m talking
about a car which has a lot of
weight, the batteries add around
236kg to the standard car, yet it
still feels nimble and balanced.
Depending on your service
provider, the Kona will cost
around $8 to charge, and would be
more favourable on a night rate.
That being the case, it’s easy
to see why EVs are becoming so
popular in an age where fossil
fuel costs are spiralling. If I was
an EV buyer, the Kona would be
by far my pick, it is a genuinely
functional all-round vehicle,
and one which has quality
engineering aspects.

The Invitation
by Belinda Alexandra
In Gilded Age New York, money buys everything. What is your
price? Sometimes the ties that bind are the most dangerous of
all ...
Paris, 1899. Emma Lacasse has been estranged from her older
sister for nearly twenty years, since Caroline married a wealthy
American and left France. So when Emma receives a request from
Caroline to meet her, she is intrigued. Caroline invites Emma to visit
her in New York, on one condition: Emma must tutor her shy, young
niece, Isadora, and help her prepare for her society debut.
Caroline lives a life of unimaginable excess and opulence as one of New York’s Gilded
Age millionaires and Emma is soon immersed in a world of luxury beyond her wildest
dreams - a far cry from her bohemian lifestyle as a harpist and writer with her lover,
Claude, in Montmartre.
Emma hopes for an emotional reunion with her only family, but instead she finds
herself in the vice-like grip of her charismatic and manipulative sister, who revels in the
machinations of the ultra rich. As Emma begins to question her sister’s true motives, a
disaster strikes, and New York society is stripped bare - beneath the glittering exterior lies a
seething nest of deceit, betrayal, moral corruption ... and perhaps even murder.

THE PAPANUI-I nes
Community Board has taken the
rare step of starting a petition
to figh the city council over
funding.
Signatures are being co lected
in a bid to get funding for a community
facility in Shirley.
It comes after the city council
removed funding for the centre
pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the
intersection with Hi ls Rd. This
was the site of the former community
centre, which was badly
damaged in the February 2,
20 1, earthquake.
The removal o funding
prompted community board
chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten
to stan down, citing it as her “die
in the ditch” project.
Ms Jone said the board’s role
is to represen the community,
and by gathering signatures from
residents, it was fulfi ling that
role.
“One of the roles of a community
board is to represent and act
as advocate for the interests of its
community and this is what we
are doing. The LTP and a nual

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave
Rock Apartments ar expecting the
Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off
on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.
Body corporate chairman Mike
White said the group had gone
into mediation with IAG and EQC
on February 20, and signed off
on a deal with IAG on February
2 – coincidenta ly seven years
to the day after the February 2,
20 1, earthquake. However, they
are waiting for EQC to sign the
agr ement.
“Given that EQC actua ly drafted
the agr ement, there’ l be no
problem with them doing that.”
The apartment suffere damage
in the February and June, 20 1,
earthquakes and were demolished in
late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the
difference betw en indemnity value,
$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,
$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body
corporate.
The mediation agr ement
prevented Mr White from disclosing
the se tlement amount, but he said it
involved the two parties paying “a bit
more money than they’d wanted to

A NEW 60km/h sp ed limit and
double ye low lines wi l be in
place on Dyers Pa s Rd by early
May.
The sp ed limit change was
a proved by the city counci last

The changes are designed to try
