LYTTELTON PORT COMPANY UPDATE<br />
The Fairway leaves our shores after spending <strong>12</strong> weeks on our Channel Deepening Project.<br />
One of our bigger projects is<br />
the deepening of the navigation<br />
channel, which started in<br />
August when one of the world’s<br />
largest dredges, the Fairway,<br />
arrived in Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
The Fairway was a fixture<br />
in Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong> for <strong>12</strong><br />
weeks, as she worked around<br />
the clock to widen, lengthen<br />
and deepen the navigation<br />
channel. She has dredged more<br />
than five million cubic metres of<br />
mud and silt off the sea floor.<br />
The dredging programme means<br />
larger container ships, which have<br />
virtually doubled in size during<br />
the last 10 years, will now be able<br />
to call at Lyttelton. Prior to the<br />
Channel Deepening Project some<br />
vessels had to wait for high tide<br />
before they could arrive or depart<br />
our Port – now larger vessels can<br />
access the Port at all times.<br />

• By Louis Day<br />
SUMNER RESIDENTS may<br />
know in February if ratepayers<br />
will help fund the security<br />
cameras they want.<br />
Safer Sumner has approached<br />
the Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />
Community Board for a grant<br />
of $16,000 after the police were<br />
unable to fund the cameras.<br />
The board will make a decision<br />
in February when it works<br />
through the grant requests.<br />
Safer Sumner’s Kath Preston<br />
said in her submission to the<br />
board, it was in desperate need<br />
of support after the cost of the<br />
cameras skyrocketed from $4000<br />
to $20,000.<br />
“The reason why the cost of the<br />
cameras has gone up is because<br />
we have had to align our cameras<br />
with the cameras that the police<br />
use.”<br />
The cameras would be<br />
installed at the entrance to<br />
Sumner on Main Rd, with one<br />
camera monitoring incoming<br />
traffic and one monitoring<br />
outgoing traffic.<br />

WE TAKE a walk down memory lane on<br />
pages 6 and 7 today, looking back at the<br />
old British Hotel, after the recent closure of<br />
the Hell Fire Club.<br />
Every port has its rough and tumble<br />
pubs and in Lyttelton it would be fair to say the British has its<br />
conveyor belt of great old stories.<br />
No doubt other pubs in Lyttelton have had theirs, too.<br />
Our headline: ‘Bikies, booze, brawls’ does fairly well sum up<br />
the British. If anyone was looking for a decent scrap, there’d be<br />
plenty of takers there.<br />
As former seaman Jack Mahoney mentioned: “Someone was<br />
saying to me the other day after the world title fight, I’ve seen a<br />
better fight in the British and they’re not wrong.”<br />

Akaroa rock not suitable for drilling<br />
DEEP-BORE injection is<br />
unlikely to be a suitable method<br />
for disposing of Akaroa’s treated<br />
wastewater, test drilling has<br />
shown.<br />
The city council has completed<br />
drilling at two sites on the outskirts<br />
of Akaroa.<br />
Test drilling and site remediation<br />
cost<br />
$550,000. At<br />
this stage,<br />
there are no<br />
plans to do<br />
more drilling.<br />
The first<br />
hole, on Old<br />
Kylie Hills<br />
French Rd,<br />
was drilled<br />
to a depth of<br />
250m.<br />
The second hole, at the site of<br />
the new wastewater treatment<br />
plant at the top of Old Coach Rd,<br />
was drilled to a depth of 150m.<br />
Senior project manager<br />
Kylie Hills said the drilling<br />
showed the rock to be highly<br />
competent (lightly fractured)<br />
basalt and tuff (a mix of rock<br />
and volcanic ash).<br />
“We wanted to know if the<br />
area around Akaroa was suitable<br />
for deep-bore injection,” Mr<br />
Hills said.<br />
“We found some fracturing,<br />
but the fractures across the target<br />
depths were high in mineral<br />
deposits, which had in-filled and<br />
restricted many of the flow paths<br />
through the rock.”<br />
The city council is looking at<br />
options for recycling Akaroa’s<br />
wastewater before its consent<br />
to discharge into the harbour<br />
expires in 2020.<br />
Options include reusing the<br />
treated wastewater to irrigate<br />
trees or pasture in nearby areas,<br />

or to provide non-drinking<br />
water for garden watering and<br />
toilet flushing in Akaroa.<br />
Deep-bore was also being<br />
investigated.<br />
But Mr Hills said it would take<br />
many more holes than expected<br />
to achieve the flow rate needed<br />
to dispose of the town’s wastewater,<br />
making it much more<br />
expensive than other options<br />
available.<br />
Mr Hills said the core<br />
recovered from the first<br />
hole is now on loan to the<br />
Canterbury University’s<br />
geology department.<br />
“They’re pretty interested in<br />
it because it’s the only drill core<br />
ever recovered at these depths<br />
from the Akaroa area,” he said.<br />
“It offers a unique insight into<br />
the volcanic history of Banks<br />
Peninsula.”<br />

Slippery steps take their toll on ferry users<br />

Association chairman Richard<br />
Suggate said something needed<br />
to be done now.<br />
“The council should do<br />
something because there have<br />
been enough incidents that keep<br />
repeating themselves.”<br />
Deputy Mayor and Banks<br />
Peninsula councillor Andrew<br />
Turner said the city council<br />
was taking steps to improve the<br />
state of the jetty in the short<br />
term.<br />
“They get cleaned on a sixweek<br />
cycle but that clearly hasn’t<br />
worked. We are also working<br />
towards putting some plastic<br />
netting on the helm.”<br />
Things were made worse<br />
when the city council removed<br />
five portaloos at the start of the<br />
month before 7816 cruise ship<br />
passengers and crew arrived in<br />
the area.<br />
The city council has since<br />
installed a toilet block on the end<br />
of the wharf.<br />
Mr Hamilton, however,<br />
was not convinced this would<br />
stop tourists from abusing his<br />
facilities.<br />
“After refusing to buy<br />
anything, I have had<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
CONCERNED: Richard Suggate on the Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
jetty steps.<br />
confrontations with people who<br />
refuse to leave.”<br />
Mr Hamilton said the<br />
behaviour of tourists was putting<br />
off the majority of his local<br />
clientele from visiting his cinema<br />
and cafe.<br />
“There’s definitely a lack of<br />
locals around until the ship<br />
leaves, we have a number of<br />
clients and customers who have<br />
said they won’t come when the<br />
boat is out.”<br />

not the answer.<br />
“It certainly isn’t my view that<br />
we should just continue putting<br />

there to cater for more and more<br />
visitors.”<br />
Cr Turner suggested that a<br />
“smaller number of higher value<br />

Lyttelton’s British Hotel: Bikies,<br />
The bar that occupied<br />
the basement in the old<br />
British Hotel building<br />
has lost its liquor<br />
licence and closed.<br />
Julia Evans looks back<br />
on the colourful history<br />
of the iconic Lyttelton<br />
landmark<br />
FOR THE last 71 years, the<br />
British Hotel has been a watering<br />
hole for sailors, Lyttelton locals,<br />
cross-dressers, punk rockers,<br />
Epitaph Riders motorcycle gang<br />
members and even Iggy Pop.<br />
But, while the bar in the hotel<br />
on the corner of Norwich Quay<br />
and Oxford St – most recently<br />
known as the Hell Fire Club –<br />
has closed its doors for now, it is<br />
remembered for its history.<br />
The British Hotel first opened<br />
in 1874, and was named after its<br />
predominantly United Kingdombased<br />
clientele.<br />
It reopened in 1947 after a<br />
fire and, ever since, the hotel<br />
has been home to a number of<br />
infamous bars – most notably<br />
The Dive.<br />
Other incarnations have<br />
included El Santo Porteno before<br />
the quakes, the Back Bar and the<br />
British Basement.<br />
HISTORY: The British Hotel has had a long and colourful history since it opened in 1947 on the<br />
corner of Lyttelton’s Norwich Quay and Oxford St.<br />
Former sailor Jack Mahoney<br />
lived and drank at the hotel every<br />
day for 17 years from 1960 when<br />
he wasn’t at sea.<br />
“The best part was the great<br />
people who lived there. There<br />
aren’t many of them left, but they<br />
were good people.”<br />
But there was a flip side, in<br />
which the bar earned a notorious<br />
reputation for fights.<br />
“There were quite a few fights,<br />
but no one really got hurt. A<br />
punch on the chin never hurt<br />
anyone.”<br />
He said boxers like Joesph<br />
Parker would not have held their<br />
own at the British.<br />
“Someone was saying to me<br />
the other day after the world title<br />
fight, I’ve seen a better fight in the<br />
British and they’re not wrong.”<br />
The bar was notorious for after<br />
hours parties with black out curtains<br />
pulled so the police couldn’t<br />
see what was going on inside.<br />
“On Sundays, when the ferry<br />
was in, all the boys would come<br />
up from the ferry and start<br />
drinking, which was a big no, no<br />
on Sundays, but we covered for<br />
them,” Mr Mahoney said.<br />
“I was playing pool and the<br />
next thing I get a tap on the<br />
shoulder by the senior sergeant. I<br />
told him they were my guests . . .<br />
and gave him phoney names.”<br />
Mr Mahoney said the next<br />
minute the police were back and<br />
asking for the names – which he<br />
couldn’t remember.<br />
“But he left it. They knew it was<br />
better off them drinking there<br />
than on the streets.”<br />
Canada native Guy Daigneault<br />
owned the hotel from 1961-1974,<br />
he opened the Back Bar in 1967,<br />
when 6pm drinking restrictions<br />
were lifted.<br />
“The place was so well-known<br />
around the world. I was in<br />
Montreal once and someone said<br />
there’s Guy over there from the<br />
British. I couldn’t believe it.”<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
booze, brawls . . . and Iggy Pop<br />
But Mr Daigneault said he<br />
had “to sleep with one eye open”<br />
as the place was renowned for<br />
fighting.<br />
To this day, blood remains<br />
on the roof from a knife fight<br />
between Russian seamen.<br />
“Most of the violence was<br />
locals, not even<br />
the seamen<br />
like everyone<br />
thought,” he<br />
said.<br />
Mr<br />
Daigneault said<br />
some of the<br />
Rebecca<br />
Lovell-Smith<br />
best days of his<br />
life were spent<br />
there.<br />
“I chose to<br />
raise my four kids there. But it<br />
was hard work, I devoted my life<br />
to that pub . . . I spent a lot of<br />
money doing it up.”<br />
The lease was taken over by<br />
late Lyttelton legends, Hilary and<br />
Jack McKenna, throughout the<br />
1970s and 80s.<br />
Mr Mahoney said the McKennas<br />
and Mr Daigneault took him in<br />
and treated him like family.<br />
During their stint, the hotel<br />
became home to the first gay bar<br />
in the city.<br />
The British was divided into<br />
three separate bars. The Back Bar<br />
COLOURFUL: Everyone from Lyttelton locals to seamen and<br />
motor-cycle gang members have visited the British Hotel.<br />
– the gay bar out the back, The<br />
Dive – which was down in the<br />
basement and upstairs a bar for<br />
Lyttelton locals.<br />
The hotel made its mark<br />
throughout the 80s by hosting<br />
early gigs of The Androidss and<br />
Louie and the Hotsticks.<br />
Famously, United States punk<br />
icon Iggy Pop watched The<br />
Androidss play there in 1979.<br />
Their set included a cover of<br />
Iggy Pop’s The Passenger and he<br />
shared a whisky with them at the<br />
bar afterwards.<br />
“They’re tough as bitches, but<br />
they’re beautiful,” Iggy Pop was<br />
quoted by The Press.<br />
In the same decade, it was<br />
often filled with members of the<br />
Epitaph Riders motor-cycle gang.<br />
The gang was formed in<br />
Christchurch in 1969 and was involved<br />
in the country’s first gang<br />
war with the Devils Henchmen<br />
in 1974.<br />
But the building was closed after<br />
the February 22, 2011, earthquake,<br />
before it was saved from<br />
the bulldozer in 2015 by Rebecca<br />
Lovell-Smith and her husband,<br />
Christian Carruthers.<br />
Almost daily, former patrons<br />
stopped by the hotel to tell tales<br />
of its history.<br />
Ms Lovell-Smith said it was<br />
moments like that which made<br />
the building’s ongoing restoration<br />
worth while.<br />
“I get a lot of people who come<br />
out just to talk to you about their<br />
experiences. I had a sailor or a<br />
fisherman just yesterday tell me<br />
stories about how he used to stay<br />
there when he was in port. He<br />
said he remembers the publican<br />
falling down the stairs,” she said.<br />
And she promises pints will be<br />
pulled in the basement again.<br />
“We just need to do a bit more<br />
work. But even next year something<br />
will be there,” she said.<br />
“We want to honour all the<br />
different stages of the bar from<br />
way back, to more recently. It’s<br />
a good place that has good<br />
bands.”<br />

Crime camera funding<br />
•From page 1<br />
The plan for the cameras<br />
was prompted by a spate<br />
of aggravated burglaries in<br />
Sumner and Mt Pleasant<br />
last year.<br />
A 31-year-old man was<br />
jailed for three years in<br />
relation to them and other<br />
offences.<br />
Ms Preston said additional<br />
cameras would also<br />
be needed with Sumner Rd<br />
expected to reopen next<br />
year, which is expected to<br />
cost an additional $20,000.<br />
“When we started<br />
going down this track it<br />
was nearly two years ago<br />
and at that point, we didn’t<br />
know if the road was going<br />
to reopen.”<br />
Linwood-Central-<br />
Heathcote Community<br />
Board member and city<br />
councillor Sara Templeton<br />
supported the installation<br />
of security cameras.<br />
“I know that this is a<br />
real issue in the area with<br />
a range of burglaries and<br />
incidents with cars, trailers<br />
and boats.”<br />
Linwood-Central-<br />
Heathcote Community<br />
Board member Darrell<br />
Latham said the cameras<br />
would only be part of the<br />
solution.<br />
“From my perspective,<br />
the cameras must be complemented<br />
by a sufficient<br />
level of monitoring from<br />
a credible organisation,<br />
that is the New Zealand<br />
Police.”<br />

Brutally Honest<br />
by Melanie Brown<br />
The tell-all memoir from the loudest, proudest Spice Girl -<br />
and the truth behind the headlines<br />
As one-fifth of the iconic Spice Girls and judge on X Factor<br />
and America’s Got Talent, Melanie Brown, a.k.a Scary<br />
Spice, has been an international star since her twenties.<br />
Brutally Honest is an expose of the struggles and acute pain<br />
that lay behind the glamour and success.<br />
With deep personal insight, remarkable frankness and<br />
trademark Yorkshire humour, the book removes the mask<br />
of fame and reveals the true story behind the Spice Girls, as<br />
well as the horror of her most recent marriage and her 10<br />
year struggle to be free.<br />

Warrior<br />
by Simon Mannering<br />
Simon Mannering is one of elite sport’s great enigmas. From<br />
2005 to <strong>2018</strong> he was a regular fixture in the Warriors and<br />
Kiwis rugby league teams and has captained both. He is one<br />
of only a handful of players to have played 300 NRL games<br />
for one club and, remarkably, he’s the only one who has ever<br />
done it flying back and forth across the Tasman every second<br />
weekend. Yet little is known about him as he shuns the spotlight<br />
and seldom does interviews.<br />
Warriors and former All Blacks doctor John Mayhew rates<br />
Simon alongside Richie McCaw and Buck Shelford for sheer<br />
toughness and his ability to play through pain and illness is<br />
legendary.<br />
While the Warriors have been up and down over the years,<br />
Simon Mannering has maintained a consistently high standard<br />
of play and regularly led tackle counts.<br />
Yet he was not a sporting prodigy. In Warrior, Simon explains<br />
how he transformed himself from a sports-mad kid with<br />
mediocre talents into one of the greats of New Zealand sport.<br />

A Diamond in the Dust<br />
by Frauke Bolten-Boshammer<br />
The powerful true story of how one woman turned outback dust<br />
into a diamond empire.<br />
Within minutes of landing in Kununurra, Frauke Bolten had made<br />
up her mind to get on a plane back home to Germany. The dusty<br />
frontier town was no place for a woman. However, Frauke stayed,<br />
determined to help her husband carve out a new life farming.<br />
Tragedy struck just three years later when Friedrich took his own<br />
life and she was left to raise their family alone.<br />
Twenty-six years after she sold her first necklace, Kimberley Fine<br />
Diamonds in Kununurra is now home to one of the world’s largest<br />
collections of Argyle pink diamonds, with a client list that includes<br />
Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. Frauke is credited for not only<br />
pioneering an industry, but for putting the tiny outback town and its<br />
precious diamonds on the map.<br />
A Diamond in the Dust is a tale of love and loss, hardship and<br />
heartache, but ultimately the inspiring story of how a young girl<br />
from Germany overcame tragedy to pioneer a diamond empire in<br />
one of the most unforgiving terrains on earth.<br />
The Rescuers<br />
by Laura Greaves<br />
Dogs are renowned for their loyalty, and those saved from<br />
animal shelters or rescue groups seem to be especially<br />
devoted to the humans who have offered them a second<br />
chance. In this extraordinary collection, meet the brave<br />
dogs that have shown incredible courage – even risking<br />
death – to protect their people.<br />
There’s Leala, the Staffy who raced for help when her<br />
two-year-old owner fell in a dam; Buddy, the labrador who<br />
licked his owner awake to save her from a house fire; and<br />
Brian, the pit bull who valiantly fought off three other dogs<br />
to protect his owner.<br />
From unforgettable moments of courage to heart-warming<br />
tales of true loyalty, these are the stories of some of the<br />
most heroic rescue dogs in the world.<br />

Foundation marks 25 years of work<br />
in Sumner and Ferrymead<br />
contribution to the charitable<br />
community trust. Since<br />
1993 the foundation has<br />
given almost $100,000 in<br />
grants to people pursuing<br />
education, cultural or<br />
sporting endeavours, and to<br />
community groups.<br />
The foundation was the<br />
vision of former Sumner resident<br />
Dora Grut, who married<br />
a Canadian and moved to<br />
Vancouver.<br />
In 1991, she donated<br />
$10,500 to start the Sumner<br />
Community Trust, which she<br />
based around the Vancouver<br />
Foundation.<br />
The Vancouver Foundation<br />
was started in 1943<br />
with $1000 donated by a<br />
receptionist, Alice McKay.<br />
She donated the money to<br />
assist the wives and families<br />
of Vancouver soldiers killed<br />
in France during World War<br />

CELEBRATION: Chairman<br />
John Taylor and founding<br />
member Julie Cunningham<br />
cut the cake to celebrate the<br />
Sumner Ferrymead Foundation’s<br />
25th anniversary.<br />
was impressed with her generosity<br />
and donated a further<br />
$10,000, then encouraged<br />
nine others to do the same.<br />
Since Dora Grut’s initial<br />
donation, the Sumner<br />
Ferrymead Foundation<br />
has grown significantly<br />
through the generosity of<br />
many benefactors within the<br />
community.<br />
Only the interest from the<br />
invested funds is used for<br />
grants, and the foundation<br />
considers applications from<br />
groups and individuals in a<br />
catchment area running from<br />
east of Tunnel Rd to Taylors<br />
Mistake. Donations to the<br />
foundation can be made for<br />
a specific community use<br />
or asset, or as discretionary<br />
funds.<br />

Lyttelton band to hold benefit<br />
concert for seafarers centre<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
LYTTELTON country band<br />
The Eastern is holding a benefit<br />
concert with proceeds going<br />
towards the Lyttelton Seafarers<br />
Centre.<br />
The Light House Benefit<br />
Concert will be held on <strong>December</strong><br />
22 at Blue Smoke in<br />
Woolston.<br />
Chairman of the Lyttelton<br />
Seafarers Centre Charitable Trust<br />
Reverend John McLister said the<br />
centre was seriously underfunded<br />
and the proceeds made from the<br />
concert would go a long way in<br />
ensuring they could continue to<br />
support seafarers.<br />
The centre has had over 10,000<br />
visits from seafarers docking in<br />
Lyttelton since it opened three<br />
years ago.<br />
The centre provides seafarers<br />
with assistance, amenities, care,<br />
support and Wi-Fi so they can<br />
speak to their family back home.<br />
Rev McLister said seafarers<br />
were often poorly paid and<br />
exploited by the companies that<br />
they worked for.<br />
He spoke of the experience of a<br />
HELPING HAND: Chairman of the Lyttelton Seafarers Centre<br />
Charitable Trust Reverend John McLister with three seamen<br />
from China.<br />
Filipino seafarer called Benji.<br />
“For every US$100 he converts<br />
into Kiwi dollars, Benji is $40 out<br />
of pocket on the exchange rate.”<br />
Rev McLister said without the<br />
support of the community, the<br />
centre would struggle to continue<br />
to help seafarers like Benji.<br />
“Last month, that man wanted<br />
to go to the city, so he called a<br />
taxi. The taxi driver charged him<br />
US$100 for a ride into town. That<br />
is 10 per cent of what Benji earns<br />
in a month”<br />
Sumner library to close over Xmas<br />
REPAIRS: The Sumner Library will close on Christmas Eve.<br />
SUMNER LIBRARY will be<br />
closed between Christmas and<br />
New Year to allow work to be<br />
done to fix “minor defects” on the<br />
building.<br />
The Matuku Takotako: Sumner<br />
Centre will close on Christmas<br />
Eve and reopen on New Year’s<br />
Eve.<br />
“We’re taking the opportunity<br />
over the Christmas period to allow<br />
contractors to complete some<br />
work on the polished ground<br />
floor,” city council head of libraries<br />
and information Carolyn<br />
Robertson said.<br />
“The work is part of some<br />
minor defects still outstanding<br />
from when the facility was built<br />
in 2017, and is a normal part of<br />
any new build.”<br />
Ms Robertson said the Christmas<br />
holiday period was chosen<br />
to cause as little disruption to the<br />
community as possible.<br />
“All the other Christchurch<br />
City Libraries in the network are<br />
staying open between Christmas<br />
and New Year, so people can still<br />
have plenty of options for getting<br />
their holiday fix of library items<br />
and services.”<br />
Normal hours at the Matuku<br />
Takotako: Sumner Centre will<br />
resume from January 3, after the<br />
New Year holidays.<br />
CAROL SINGING in Lyttelton<br />
is set for a return this Christmas<br />
after a seven-year absence.<br />
Three of Lyttelton’s historic<br />
churches were destroyed in the<br />
February 22, 2011, earthquake,<br />
putting an end to the longstanding<br />
custom of carol singing<br />
at church.<br />
However, after the reopening<br />
of the restored St Saviour’s<br />
Anglican Church, Lyttelton residents<br />
will have the opportunity<br />
to sing Christmas carols again<br />
on Friday.<br />
Vicar of the Lyttelton Parish<br />
John McLister said he was<br />
delighted to see a Lyttelton<br />
tradition of over 150 years be<br />
restored.<br />
Local<br />
News<br />
Now<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
JINGLE BELLS: St Saviour’s Anglican Church will hold<br />
Christmas carols, the first time a church has hosted carols in<br />
Lyttelton for seven years.<br />
Carol singing to return<br />
to Lyttelton church<br />
“It will be lovely to see this<br />
tradition return to Lyttelton,<br />
there is something magical<br />
about singing carols in a church<br />
surrounded by stained-glass<br />
windows and with candles<br />
burning. Before the quakes,<br />
all the local churches had<br />
carol services. The midnight<br />
Christmas service was a bit of a<br />
Lyttelton institution.”<br />
Carols will be held in the<br />
church at 7pm, 17 Winchester St.<br />
Music from The Saints<br />
Youth Orchestra and Irish music<br />
from The Rice Paddies will be on<br />
offer.<br />
Mulled wine will be served<br />
and there will be a prize for best<br />
Christmas hat.<br />

Learning to share stuff<br />
OF ALL THE things I<br />
expected to deal with<br />
as a stay-at-home-dad,<br />
Vittoria being mean to<br />
another baby was not one<br />
of them.<br />
Maybe that was a foolish<br />
assumption, I don’t know,<br />
I’ve only got the one kid<br />
remember.<br />
What are you supposed<br />
to do in that situation?<br />
And what is the other parent<br />
supposed to do?<br />
Is there a book on this?<br />
On Tuesday I took Vittoria<br />
to a Plunket playgroup<br />
in Papanui on the advice of<br />
a fellow full-time dad.<br />
It was an enjoyable<br />
morning, the sun was out<br />
and there was plenty of<br />
toys and other kids for Vittoria<br />
to play with.<br />
During the course of her<br />
rambling about exploring,<br />
she went inside and sat<br />
next to another wee lass,<br />
only a couple of months<br />
younger than her who was<br />
playing with a book.<br />
So, naturally, she steals<br />
said book off the poor kid.<br />
The other baby’s mum<br />
was really good about it,<br />
even told her daughter to<br />
share.<br />
However, Vittoria was<br />
not satisfied with just taking<br />
her book. Oh no, she<br />
started grabbing anything<br />
this kid was holding,<br />
ignoring my vain pleas for<br />

David, Carol & Mike<br />
ELEVATED: Vittoria<br />
getting a unobstructed<br />
view of Mother Goose<br />
and other classic floats<br />
at the recent Santa<br />
Parade.<br />
her to desist or share.<br />
Eventually the other<br />
baby got sick of Vittoria’s<br />
shtick and went to grab her<br />
book back.<br />
Vittoria promptly hit her<br />
in the head with it.<br />
I was mortified, I’d never<br />
seen her hit anyone else<br />
before (she’s hit me heaps,<br />
but not in anger).<br />
The wee lass started<br />
crying and I profusely<br />
apologised to the mum<br />
We will deliver!<br />
VITTORIA<br />
& Matt<br />
and told Vittoria off – but I<br />
don’t know if I did enough?<br />
Vittoria’s had bigger kids<br />
do similar to her and I<br />
didn’t know what I should<br />
have done then either.<br />
Other people’s kids seem<br />
like a minefield topic.<br />
Either way, I took Vittoria<br />
back outside to where<br />
there were older kids than<br />
her so she couldn’t cause<br />
any more grief.<br />
I suppose I’ll get better at<br />
this, I really don’t think I<br />
want a bully for a daughter,<br />
regardless of how dang<br />
cute she is.<br />
In a much nicer update,<br />
we took Vittoria to the<br />
recent Santa Parade in the<br />
city.<br />
I’m stoked the old floats<br />
like Mother Goose and the<br />
Haunted House are still<br />
about. I haven’t been to a<br />
parade in quite a few years<br />
so it was cool to see the old<br />
classics and share them<br />
with Vittoria.<br />

establishing itself as a notto-be-missed<br />
event on the<br />
Banks Peninsula calendar.<br />
“Banks Peninsula<br />

said.<br />
The youngest race-goers<br />
can expect activities ranging<br />
from bouncy castles<br />
and sack racing to junior<br />

Archibalds giving $100k to charities<br />
WE ARE ON THE<br />
MOVE AGAIN...<br />
TO CELEBRATE 100 years<br />
of business in Christchurch,<br />
Archibalds Motors has decided<br />
to give money away rather than<br />
spend it on a party.<br />
Ten charities have been shortlisted<br />
for the chance to win part<br />
of $100,000 in the Drive for<br />
Good campaign, organised by<br />
the motor company.<br />
Members of the public are able<br />
to vote for the charity they think<br />
should get the money.<br />

at a breakfast for<br />
Drive for Good<br />
on Friday, in<br />
the company’s<br />
new Porsche<br />
showroom.<br />
He<br />
congratulated the charities on<br />
making it to the top 10 “final”<br />
and for their efforts to give back<br />
to the community.<br />
The charities were nominated<br />
by staff and include Canterbury<br />
West Coast Air Rescue Trust,<br />
Christchurch Early Intervention<br />
Trust, Cholmondeley Children’s<br />

The charity with the most<br />
votes will get $50,000 and the<br />
other two will get $25,000 each.<br />

HELPING: Representatives from the 10 charities that have been chosen as ‘finalists’ in the<br />
Archibalds Motors Drive for Good campaign.<br />
executive John Fairhall said a<br />
staff member came up with the<br />
donation idea and others agreed<br />
it was the right thing to do.<br />
“Plus, they still had their usual<br />
Christmas party.”<br />
“Turning 100 is really<br />
the first major milestone<br />
that we’ve celebrated in a<br />
significant way,” he said.<br />
Voting runs for three<br />
months, with the winning<br />
charities to be named in March.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
THE MT Pleasant Community<br />
Centre will hold a Christmas<br />
gathering for people without<br />
family or friends over the<br />
holidays.<br />
Community development coordinator<br />
Kathy Bartlett said she<br />
did not want anyone who did not<br />
want to spend Christmas alone to<br />
have to.<br />
“I think we all know it can<br />
be an isolating time of year if<br />
you don’t have the cosy family<br />
atmosphere.”<br />
There will be a barbecue and<br />
guests are welcome to bring<br />
a shared plate and their own<br />
refreshments to the gathering.<br />
Ms Bartlett said everyone will<br />
be welcome.<br />
“We know that there are a wide<br />
range of people here. There are<br />
lonely, older people, but there are<br />
also recent immigrants that don’t<br />
have family here.”<br />
If you want to attend call the<br />
community centre to reserve a<br />

Deck the halls<br />
Christmas isn’t Christmas without a decoration or two around the home.<br />
Whether its outdoor lights with a waving Santa or<br />
just draping tinsel across your mantelpiece, there are<br />
many ways to celebrate the festive season in your home.<br />
Go natural<br />
Driftwood painted white with LED lights wrapped<br />
around, or pine cones with a touch of silver spray<br />
paint, make beautiful natural additions to the home<br />
at this time of year. If you have a tree branch around<br />
the home, why not cut it up into discs and spray paint<br />
white stars and reindeer on the disc. Drill a hole in the<br />
top and thread some gardeners string through the hole<br />
and you have an instant decoration to hang on the tree<br />
or somewhere around the home. Cover polystyrene<br />
balls in ripped linen, hessian and cotton strips. These<br />
can either be hung up or a number placed in a bowl on<br />
the table.<br />
Tinsel town<br />
Many love the glitter and sparkle that tinsel brings<br />
but how about using it in different ways. A threetiered<br />
cake plate with tinsel laid on each plate with<br />
baubles then placed on top, can look really impressive<br />
as a centrepiece for the table. Make your own wreath<br />

by wrapping tinsel around and around a polystyrene<br />
circle. Hang just as it is, or hot glue gun baubles on to<br />
create extra wow.<br />
Table setting<br />
Sometimes the simplest decorations on the table<br />
can look the most stunning. A beautiful napkin rolled<br />
up with a piece of red and white ribbon, or rosemary<br />
wreath looks amazing. Why not place a hessian runner<br />
down the middle of the table and add greenery and<br />
candles in jars on top to create a wonderful centrepiece.<br />
If you have a children’s eating table, why not put a<br />
long piece of brown paper as a table cloth. Draw large<br />
circles where the plates can go and write Christmas<br />
questions beside each plate outline. A little bottle with<br />
a red and white paper straw is great too. Put a jar of<br />
red and green crayons on the table. When the kids are<br />
finished their dinner, they can play noughts and crosses<br />
or hangman or just draw pictures.<br />

WITH MARY IN FAITH<br />
TĀTOU KO MERE E WHAKAPONO ANA<br />
MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD<br />
This year has been particularly special in that so many of our past students and staff<br />
have responded to our call to join a new group. Named Rauru, the group has been<br />
formed to strengthen and support our Marian College community. Past students and<br />
staff of Marian College, St Mary’s College (Christchurch) and McKillop College, are<br />
warmly invited to register for Rauru and help us shape the future of Marian.<br />
Collective dialogue and strategic visioning are underway as we prepare for a new<br />
school. Work includes development of a brief to ensure our Special Catholic Character,<br />
values and culture are captured and reflected in our new school.<br />
We appreciate Marian College is part of the bigger picture and we support the Bishop<br />
in taking due care of process and in making informed decisions for the benefit of the<br />
Catholic Diocese of Christchurch as a whole. The old saying is true – good things<br />
take time.<br />
Thank you to our Board of Trustees, our school staff and community, and members of<br />
the Marian Foundation for your support and fantastic work throughout <strong>2018</strong>.<br />
To our Marian girls – relax and enjoy a well-earned holiday. We look forward to<br />
having you back refreshed, inspired and ready for 2019 at Marian College.<br />
And finally, congratulations to our <strong>2018</strong> Marian leavers:<br />
we wish you all the very best and please stay in touch.<br />
Wishing you good health and blessings this Christmas.<br />
Jan Paterson<br />
Marian College Board of Trustees<br />
THE GIFT OF GIVING<br />
Our Young Vinnies Group helps support the important work of the<br />
Society of St Vincent de Paul. Recently the group spent a lunchtime<br />
wrapping Christmas presents for the Vinnie’s Christmas Party for<br />
people in need.<br />
Marian College has a long tradition of service. Both students and staff<br />
members are actively involved and contribute positively to the wider<br />
community. All students complete at least six hours of meaningful<br />
service within the school and community every year.<br />
PRIZE WINNERS<br />
WHIRLWIND<br />
WOW TRIP<br />
Congratulations to Catherine Ryan (right)<br />
and Louise Daly (left) who have been<br />
awarded <strong>2018</strong> Marian College dux and<br />
proxime accessit respectively.<br />
Marian College Principal Mary-Lou<br />
Davidson says major prize winners<br />
demonstrate exceptional performance<br />
and dedication across all aspects of life<br />
at Marian College – in academia, special<br />
character, leadership, music, sport,<br />
environment, culture and service.<br />
The Marian College PTA Grace Awards<br />
are very special awards for senior students<br />
who quietly go about their learning, being<br />
kind and caring, participating in school<br />
life and sometimes managing through<br />
challenges. These students often go ‘under<br />
the radar’ and as the award criteria says<br />
– they just get on with school and are not<br />
always officially recognised. This year<br />
Grace Awards were presented to Mia<br />
Blyth, Renee Rae, Zoe Frame, Molly Ford<br />
and Hannah Manalaysay.<br />
A full list of prize recipients and<br />
photographs are on the College website.<br />
IT’S<br />
BUSINESS TIME!<br />
Recently, Year 10 Marian College<br />
students had the opportunity to pitch<br />
their business ideas to a panel of judges<br />
as part of the three-day Young Enterprise<br />
BP Business Challenge programme.<br />
The hands-on learning event creates<br />
opportunities for students to develop<br />
their skills, engage with local business<br />
people and learn how a good business<br />
works. The programme covers learning<br />
in English, Mathematics and Statistics,<br />
Social Sciences, Digital Technology and<br />
Commerce subjects.<br />
Described by some as the highlight<br />
of the year, senior students studying<br />
textiles at Marian College have the<br />
opportunity to travel to Wellington for a<br />
two-day whirlwind WOWtrip. The group<br />
experienced the World of WearableArt<br />
Awards Show, explored two tertiary<br />
institutes offering textile and design<br />
programmes and visited the Beehive.<br />
“The show was incredible with amazing<br />
outfits and dancers. This was a wonderful<br />
way to end the term,” says Year <strong>12</strong> Marian<br />
College student Phoebe O’Regan.<br />
The group also attended the Suffrage <strong>12</strong>5<br />
exhibition Whakatū Wāhine at Museum of<br />
New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.<br />

Boy Erased<br />
A Memoir of Identity, Faith, and Family<br />
by Garrard Conley<br />
The son of a Baptist pastor and deeply embedded in church life<br />
in small town Arkansas, as a young man Garrard Conley was<br />
terrified and conflicted about his sexuality.<br />
When Garrard was a nineteen-year-old college student, he was<br />
outed to his parents, and was forced to make a life-changing<br />
decision: either agree to attend a church-supported conversion<br />
therapy program that promised to “cure” him of homosexuality; or risk<br />
losing family, friends, and the God he had prayed to every day of his<br />
life. Through an institutionalised Twelve-Step Program heavy on Bible study, he was<br />
supposed to emerge heterosexual, ex-gay, cleansed of impure urges and stronger in his<br />
faith in God for his brush with sin. Instead, even when faced with a harrowing and brutal<br />
journey, Garrard found the strength and understanding to break out in search of his true<br />
self and forgiveness.<br />
By confronting his buried past and the burden of a life lived in shadow, Garrard traces<br />
the complex relationships among family, faith, and community. At times heartbreaking,<br />
at times triumphant, this memoir is a testament to love that survives despite all odds.<br />
She Was The Quiet One<br />
by Michele Campbell<br />
The gripping new novel from Sunday Times bestselling author Michele Campbell<br />
Because murderers are never who you expect…<br />
She was the quiet one… but is she guilty?<br />
For twin sisters Rose and Bel, enrolling at the prestigious new boarding school<br />
should have been a fresh start. But with its sinister rituals and traditions, Odell<br />
soon brings out a deadly rivalry between the sisters.<br />
For Sarah and husband Heath, the chance to teach at Odell seems like the best<br />
thing that ever happened to their small family – a chance to rise through the ranks<br />
and put the past behind them.<br />
Until one dark night ends in murder.<br />
But who’s guilty and who’s telling the truth? And who’s been in on it all along..?<br />

Christmas<br />
Pirate’s Corner<br />
Boaties’ Xmas list<br />
I’M LOOKING out over the<br />
Opawaho/Heathcote River as I<br />
think about this column.<br />
The willows are resplendent<br />
in their greenery, the birdlife is<br />
out in force and in chorus, and<br />
nature is signalling the approach<br />
of Christmas.<br />
And, of course, as our work<br />
lives wind down, our family<br />
lives are winding up as we<br />
frantically buy presents, set<br />
menus, and try and lose that<br />
last pound, knowing that pound<br />
will be replaced with five more<br />
after Christmas Day. And we<br />
wouldn’t change this for the<br />
world.<br />
Because Christmas is a time<br />
to put aside the weight of the<br />
world, put on some weight, and<br />
focus on family, friends and<br />
a small period of feasting to<br />
celebrate a year that will have<br />
been many things to us all.<br />
For me, <strong>2018</strong> has seen a<br />
dramatic change from being<br />
in Government to being in<br />
FEAST: Nuk Korako says Christmas is a time to put aside the<br />
weight of the world and focus on family, friends and feasting.<br />
Opposition. And it’s been a time<br />
of renewal for my wife Chris<br />
and I as we’ve thought about<br />
what being in opposition means<br />
and how we can still make a<br />
difference for the Port Hills and<br />
for New Zealand. I’ve embraced<br />
the opportunity and can’t wait<br />
for 2019.<br />
It’s also an appropriate<br />
moment to acknowledge what<br />
we are all trying to achieve,<br />
whether we are on one political<br />
side or the other – and that<br />
is a better life for all New<br />
Zealanders. So I would like<br />
to wish my Parliamentary<br />
colleagues, Ruth Dyson and<br />
Eugenie Sage and their families,<br />
a merry Christmas.<br />
And from my whanau to you<br />
all – a very merry Christmas.<br />
If you’re heading away for the<br />
holidays, I hope you travel safely<br />
and get the rest and relaxation<br />
you’ve worked so hard for this<br />
year. And for those who are<br />
staying here, well, I often ask<br />
myself why I would want to<br />
head away from the loveliest<br />
part of Christchurch – the Port<br />
Hills. Enjoy all the pleasures of<br />
our beautiful electorate over the<br />
Christmas holiday break.<br />
Meri kirihimete me nga mihi<br />
o te tau hou – wishing you<br />
a happy festive season and a<br />
prosperous new year.<br />
CHRISTMAS IS not far away<br />
and for those of you who are<br />
thinking about what to buy your<br />
boatie husband, wife, boyfriend,<br />
girlfriend, daughter or son, here<br />
are some ideas from Gary, Santa’s<br />
new boating adviser.<br />
1. A new lifejacket. Throw the<br />
old kapok one away and get a<br />
modern lifejacket that will keep<br />
your loved one afloat should you<br />
end up in the water. Go to your<br />
local boating retailer and ensure<br />
you buy the right jacket for the<br />
type of boating they will partake<br />
in. Make sure there is a crotch<br />
strap fitted.<br />
2. A waterproof hand-held<br />
VHF radio. This is a must and<br />
can be purchased at any good<br />
boat shop or chandler.<br />
3. A personal locator beacon<br />
(PLB). For those boating in lakes<br />
or areas where there is no cellphone<br />
coverage, these are a musthave<br />
item. Remember to register<br />
them when purchased, all the<br />
information is in the instructions.<br />
4. First-aid kit. This is a nobrainer;<br />
every boat should have<br />
one.<br />
5. Sunscreen. It might seem<br />
silly, but nothing can spoil a day<br />
quicker than sunburn.<br />
6. Wind and waterproof jacket.<br />
Sometimes the weather can turn,<br />
even if the forecast was initially<br />
good. Hypothermia is not something<br />
you want.<br />
7. A good pair of sunglasses.<br />
The glare on the water is not good<br />
for visibility or the eyes.<br />
8. A thermos so you can either<br />
have a nice cuppa or cold drink<br />
on hand.<br />
9. A boating safety course.<br />
Put this list somewhere safe,<br />
give the items some thought,<br />
leave a note for Santa, and I am<br />
sure he will be able to assist. On<br />
that note, remember two things:<br />
“If you can’t be heard, you can’t<br />
be helped” and “nobody’s faster<br />
than disaster.”<br />
Take care out there. Have a<br />
great Christmas and New Year.<br />

Heathcote chasing historic season<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
HEATHCOTE CRICKET Club<br />
are one win away from becoming<br />
the first winners of metro<br />
cricket’s one-day championship.<br />
On Sunday, Heathcote defeated<br />
St Albans by <strong>12</strong>5 runs in<br />
their metro championship semifinal<br />
at Heathcote Domain. The<br />
win means they will now host<br />
Merivale-Papanui in the championship<br />
final on Sunday.<br />
The championship grade was<br />
established this year, replacing<br />
the former senior A grade. The<br />
championship consists of some<br />
former teams from the senior A<br />
grade, such as Heathcote, and<br />
reserve teams from some of the<br />
bigger premiership clubs.<br />
Heathcote are also looking<br />
like early favourites to gain<br />
promotion to the premiership<br />
at the end of the summer. The<br />
top overall side on points from<br />
the one-day, T20, and two-day<br />
formats in the championship will<br />
have the option to move to the<br />
premiership next summer.<br />
“That’s been the objective since<br />
the start of the season. We’re off<br />
to a really good start and feel we<br />
have a really complete team more<br />
than capable of winning promotion,”<br />
said Heathcote bowler Ben<br />
Cochrane.<br />
Batting first on Sunday, Heathcote<br />
got off to a bright start.<br />
Captain Jordan Horrell and Matt<br />
House put on an opening stand<br />
of 53. Horrell went on to make<br />
ON A ROLL: Heathcote are one win away from capturing<br />
the one-day championship title and going unbeaten in the<br />
competition.<br />
52, while No 3 Nick Durham<br />
top-scored with 76.<br />
Healthy contributions from<br />
the lower order, highlighted by<br />
a quick fire 31 from 20 deliveries<br />
by Craig Davenport, helped<br />
Heathcote through to a healthy<br />
total of 257/7 from their 50 overs.<br />
In defending their total, two<br />
wickets in the opening four overs<br />
to Cochrane and Nick Turner<br />
put Heathcote on the front foot.<br />
Consistent wicket-taking meant<br />
St Albans were unable to ever<br />
mount any real challenge, with<br />
just two players scoring more<br />
than 20.<br />
Heathcote dismissed St Albans<br />
in the 36th over for 132. Tom<br />
Payne was the best of the bowlers<br />
with 3-20, Turner picked up<br />
3-32, while Cochrane finished<br />
with 2-25.<br />
That continued an unbeaten<br />
run for Heathcote in the one-day<br />
competition after recording eight<br />
wins in the round-robin.<br />
It was a busy weekend for<br />
SPORTS<br />
Heathcote. On Saturday they<br />
increased their promotion hopes<br />
with a strong opening day in<br />
their two-day match with East<br />
Christchurch Shirley.<br />
Heathcote hold a strong first<br />
innings lead after batting first<br />
and scoring 245. Payne top<br />
scored with 75, while Horrell<br />
contributed 57. Young Shirley<br />
Boys’ High School seamer Marek<br />
Bungard then did the damage,<br />

helped his side roll East Shirley<br />
for 107.<br />
Meanwhile, Sumner have<br />
a first innings lead in their<br />
two-day match against Merivale-<br />
Papanui at Edgar MacIntosh<br />
Park. After electing to bowl<br />
first Sumner dismissed their<br />
opposition for 154. Jonny<br />
Percasky 4-51 and Dan Vann<br />
3-41, were the best of the<br />
bowlers.<br />
Sumner just managed to<br />
eclipse the total in their first<br />
innings. Opener George Moore<br />

Motoring<br />
• By Ross Kiddie<br />
MY WIFE will tell you I’m not a<br />
big fan of supermarkets, and she<br />
is right, I see them as a necessary<br />
evil.<br />
However, there is one thing<br />
that I find favour with, and that is<br />
when it comes to pay, the item is<br />
scanned through the barcode and<br />
that is what it costs.<br />
It should be that simple when it<br />
comes to buying cars – one price,<br />
no discounts, what you see on the<br />
price tag is what you pay.<br />
Honda has utilised that price<br />
promise concept for several years,<br />
and it’s been very successful for<br />
the company, people rock up and<br />
there is no need to talk turkey<br />
over the price.<br />
Toyota, too, have just incorporated<br />
that method of selling and<br />
judging by recent sales figures it’s<br />
keeping Toyota in a comfortable<br />
position as the end-of-year sales<br />
figures roll in.<br />
Toyota’s success this year has<br />
also been buoyed by the arrival<br />
of a new Corolla, a car which<br />
doesn’t look that much different<br />
to that of the previous generation,<br />
but underneath it has had some<br />
significant changes for comfort,<br />
safety and driveability.<br />
The Corolla lands with a choice<br />
of five different models, two of<br />
those are hybrid. Regular readers<br />
will recall my hybrid evaluation<br />
at the beginning of last month,<br />
and it served to convince me that<br />
hybrids are a viable future as we<br />
head into the electric revolution.<br />
However, this evaluation surrounds<br />
the mid-spec SX model<br />
which has a traditional power<br />
plant, a 2-litre four-cylinder<br />
petrol engine. Gone is the 1.8-litre<br />
unit of the previous generation;<br />
in the name of progress, the new<br />
power plant is more refined than<br />
before, has more power and marginally<br />
greater fuel economy.<br />
Toyota rates the new engine<br />
with <strong>12</strong>5kW at the top end and<br />
200Nm of torque, up 21 per cent<br />
and 15 per cent respectively. The<br />
points of delivery are quite tall<br />
in the rev band – 6600rpm and<br />
4800rpm, however, such are the<br />
overall outputs there is still a<br />
broad spread of power. Take into<br />
Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi<br />
Nothing has changed in Corolla – except everything<br />
TOYOTA COROLLA SX: No-haggle price of $32,490<br />
account as well, the engine drives<br />
through a paddle-shift continuously<br />
variable transmission which<br />
is stepped through 10 points,<br />
which means the engine isn’t<br />
loaded.<br />
Together there is good harmony<br />
and fluid response to accelerator<br />
input. The engine feels quite zingy<br />
and strong, it works the rev band<br />
freely and, I guess, you’d expect<br />
nothing less, Toyota has built millions<br />
of Corolla engines and I’d be<br />
surprised if it didn’t feel right.<br />
It is also an engine which is<br />
light on fuel use. That’s a necessary<br />
criteria in these days of wayward<br />
fuel prices. Toyota claims<br />
a six-litre per 100km (47mpg)<br />
combined cycle average, which<br />
sits well with the fuel usage readout<br />
in the test car. It was showing<br />
a constant 7.2l/100km (39mpg)<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
during a mix of pre-Christmas<br />
inner-city driving and a Port Hills<br />
loop. At 100km/h the engine<br />
is working over slowly at just<br />
1500rpm, returning an instantaneous<br />
fuel usage consumption of<br />
just 4.5l/100km (63mpg).<br />
My wife had a work Christmas<br />
function to attend in Barrys <strong>Bay</strong>,<br />
so the Corolla was used to travel<br />
to that event.<br />
The Christchurch/Akaroa<br />
Highway isn’t my favourite piece<br />
of road given the volume of traffic,<br />
but the Corolla responded<br />
well on the few overtaking<br />
opportunities that presented<br />
themselves. An overtaking time<br />
of 6.8sec is possible (80km/h-<br />
<strong>12</strong>0km/h), while from a standstill<br />
it will also launch to 100km/h in<br />
9.2sec.<br />
Those figures give you some<br />
indication of its zest and ability. It<br />
also handles nicely with beautiful<br />
steering and strong steering<br />
feedback. That’s no surprise,<br />
over the years Corollas destined<br />
for our market have had chassis<br />
engineering developed for our<br />
roads and that certainly showed<br />
on the twists and turns of the<br />
Akaora hill.<br />
Add in the development<br />
work Toyota has done with the<br />
chassis in the latest generation<br />
car and you have a dynamic<br />
handling vehicle, one which<br />
belies its role as a mainstream<br />
hatchback.<br />
Elsewhere, the Corolla stands<br />
out for its quality of build and<br />
high amount of fitment. At the<br />
new no-haggle price of $32,490,<br />
the SX includes all the features<br />
you need for convenience and, of<br />
course, comfort has been a high<br />
manufacturing priority.<br />
On the subject of prices, an<br />
entry-level base model Corolla<br />
is available for $29,990, and that<br />
would be the car for me, but if<br />
you want all the bells and whistles<br />
then the ZR at $37,490 is also<br />
there to tempt.<br />
According to Toyota’s<br />
advertising slogan, nothing has<br />
changed for the new generation<br />
Corolla – except everything. Sure,<br />
it looks like the Corolla we have<br />
come to know and love, and it<br />
certainly drives like a Corolla<br />
should, the only thing is that it is<br />
much better in every respect.

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand<br />
has b en a proached in a bid to<br />
fina ly repair the potholes in New<br />
Brighton’s Hawke St car park.<br />
Coastal-Burw od Ward city<br />
counci lor David East wants<br />
WorkSafe to pre sure the car<br />
park’s private owners into<br />
repairing the potholes which are<br />
a “trip and vehicle” hazard.<br />
WorkSafe chief inspector<br />
a se sment southern Da ren<br />
Handforth said it may be able to<br />
take action under the Health and<br />
Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a<br />
person conducting a busine s or<br />
undertaking.”<br />
Mr Handforth said WorkSafe<br />
is aware of the concerns raised by<br />
Cr East abou the car park.<br />
“WorkSafe has completed<br />
an a se sment visi to the site<br />
and is engaging with the owner<br />
to advise them that it is their<br />
responsibility to manage their<br />
risks a propriately.”<br />
Different parts of the car park<br />
are owned by various people<br />
and the Coastal-Burw od<br />
Community Board recently<br />
wrote to them about its concerns<br />
around health and safety.<br />
Cr East said the bi gest i sue<br />
in the past has b en ge ting in<br />
touch with the landlords and<br />
owners and ge ting them to<br />
agr e to anything. “The board<br />
a preciates that multi-ownership<br />
of the parking space may present<br />
a difficulty in co-ordinating<br />
repair/resurfacing but felt obliged<br />
to pa s these concerns onto you,”<br />
said the le ter.<br />
One reply has b en received so<br />
far from an owner who is wi ling<br />
to discu s the i sue. However, a l<br />
the owners would have to agr e<br />
to undertake work.<br />
Cr East said there had b en<br />
a “number of incidences” in<br />
the car park of people injuring<br />
themselves which had gone<br />
unreported.<br />
“I’ve always though that it<br />
has b en quite amazing that we<br />
haven’t had any serious a cidents<br />
or senior citizens perhaps<br />
tri ping in those potholes and<br />
doing themselve some damage.”<br />
He is confiden the new<br />
a proach wi l bring results.<br />
“I think the WorkSafe<br />
involvement may prove to be the<br />
lever that we are l oking for.”<br />
New bid to fix potholes<br />
Action looms<br />

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

Cave Rock<br />
Apartments’<br />
owners<br />
expect EQC<br />
sign-off<br />
this week<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave<br />
Rock Apartments ar expecting the<br />
Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off<br />
on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.<br />
Body corporate chairman Mike<br />
White said the group had gone<br />
into mediation with IAG and EQC<br />
on February 20, and signed off<br />
on a deal with IAG on February<br />
2 – coincidenta ly seven years<br />
to the day after the February 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake. However, they<br />
are waiting for EQC to sign the<br />
agr ement.<br />
“Given that EQC actua ly drafted<br />
the agr ement, there’ l be no<br />
problem with them doing that.”<br />
The apartment suffere damage<br />
in the February and June, 20 1,<br />
earthquakes and were demolished in<br />
late 20<strong>12</strong>. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the<br />
difference betw en indemnity value,<br />
$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,<br />
$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body<br />
corporate.<br />
The mediation agr ement<br />
prevented Mr White from disclosing<br />
the se tlement amount, but he said it<br />
involved the two parties paying “a bit<br />
more money than they’d wanted to<br />
earlier.”<br />

A WOOLSTON butcher proved<br />
to be a cut above the rest in an<br />
international competition.<br />
New World Fe ry Rd butcher<br />
Jeremy Garth and his team, the<br />
Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently<br />
came second a the World<br />
Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern<br />
Ireland.<br />
It was the firs time Mr Garth<br />
had competed in the cha lenge<br />
and he was “rea ly proud” of<br />
how the team performed.<br />
“We produced some top quality<br />
products and came away<br />
with a g od result so we’re very<br />
ha py,” he said.<br />
The preparation for this year’s<br />
World Butchers’ Cha lenge was<br />
intense as the team members<br />
met in Auckland every two<br />
months for lengthy w ekend<br />
practices.<br />
Mr Garth, who has b en a<br />
butcher for 14 years, said the<br />
competition brought back his<br />
pa sion for the job.<br />
“Doing a l thi stuff and<br />
m eting new people, s eing new<br />
ideas, it just brings that flair<br />
back for you,” he said.<br />
Mr Garth hopes t own a<br />
butcher shop of his own someday<br />
but says for now he wi l focus<br />
on ge ting mor experience<br />
and on the 2020 cha lenge.<br />
“In two years’ time, we’ l be<br />
going back to try and win the<br />
title,” he said.<br />

In the past year, the district<br />

AN U PER Ri carton butcher<br />
has proven himself to be a cut<br />
above his Au sie rivals at an<br />
international competition.<br />
Elite Meats owner Corey<br />
Winder was named in the a l<br />
star team a the World Butchers’<br />
Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.<br />
Mr Winder and his team, the<br />
Pure South Sharp Blacks, which<br />
includes W olston butcher<br />
Jeremy Garth, finished second<br />
in the competition.<br />
He said the cha lenge started<br />
as a “transtasman test match”<br />
seven years ago.<br />
The preparation for this<br />
year’s World Butchers’ Challenge<br />
was intense as the team<br />
members met in Auckland<br />
every two months for lengthy<br />
w ekend practices. Mr Winder<br />
said coming second against 1<br />
other countries was a “fantastic”<br />
result.<br />
“To get second behind Ireland<br />
was a huge achievement and to<br />
be ahead of Australia is an<br />
even bi ger thing for us,” he<br />
said.<br />
But Mr Winder admires the<br />
Australian team.<br />
“Those guys over there<br />
[Australia] are on top of their<br />
game, they do a g od job,” he<br />
said.<br />
“And it just showcases that<br />
New Zealand has got some<br />
of the best butchers in the<br />
world,” he said.<br />

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if<br />

take action under the Health and<br />
Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a<br />
person conducting a busine s or<br />
undertaking.”<br />
Mr Handforth said WorkSafe<br />
is aware of the concerns raised by<br />
Cr East abou the car park.<br />
“WorkSafe has completed<br />
an a se sment visi to the site<br />
and is engaging with the owner<br />
to advise them that it is their<br />
responsibility to manage their<br />
risks a propriately.”<br />
Different parts of the car park<br />
are owned by various people<br />
and the Coastal-Burw od<br />
Community Board recently<br />
wrote to them about its concerns<br />
around health and safety.<br />
Cr East said the bi gest i sue<br />
in the past has b en ge ting in<br />
touch with the landlords and<br />
owners and ge ting them to<br />
agr e to anything. “The board<br />
a preciates that multi-ownership<br />
of the parking space may present<br />
a difficulty in co-ordinating<br />
repair/resurfacing but felt obliged<br />
to pa s these concerns onto you,”<br />
said the le ter.<br />
One reply has b en received so<br />
far from an owner who is wi ling<br />
to discu s the i sue. However, a l<br />
the owners would have to agr e<br />
to undertake work.<br />
Cr East said there had b en<br />
a “number of incidences” in<br />
the car park of people injuring<br />
themselves which had gone<br />
unreported.<br />
“I’ve always though that it<br />
has b en quite amazing that we<br />
haven’t had any serious a cidents<br />
or senior citizens perhaps<br />
tri ping in those potholes and<br />
doing themselve some damage.”<br />
He is confiden the new<br />
a proach wi l bring results.<br />
“I think the WorkSafe<br />
involvement may prove to be the<br />
lever that we are l oking for.”<br />

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

Cave Rock<br />
Apartments’<br />
owners<br />
expect EQC<br />
sign-off<br />
this week<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave<br />
Rock Apartments ar expecting the<br />
Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off<br />
on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.<br />
Body corporate chairman Mike<br />
White said the group had gone<br />
into mediation with IAG and EQC<br />
on February 20, and signed off<br />
on a deal with IAG on February<br />
2 – coincidenta ly seven years<br />
to the day after the February 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake. However, they<br />
are waiting for EQC to sign the<br />
agr ement.<br />
“Given that EQC actua ly drafted<br />
the agr ement, there’ l be no<br />
problem with them doing that.”<br />
The apartment suffere damage<br />
in the February and June, 20 1,<br />
earthquakes and were demolished in<br />
late 20<strong>12</strong>. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the<br />
difference betw en indemnity value,<br />
$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,<br />
$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body<br />
corporate.<br />
The mediation agr ement<br />
prevented Mr White from disclosing<br />
the se tlement amount, but he said it<br />
involved the two parties paying “a bit<br />
more money than they’d wanted to<br />
earlier.”<br />

A WOOLSTON butcher proved<br />
to be a cut above the rest in an<br />
international competition.<br />
New World Fe ry Rd butcher<br />
Jeremy Garth and his team, the<br />
Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently<br />
came second a the World<br />
Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern<br />
Ireland.<br />
It was the firs time Mr Garth<br />
had competed in the cha lenge<br />
and he was “rea ly proud” of<br />
how the team performed.<br />
“We produced some top quality<br />
products and came away<br />
with a g od result so we’re very<br />
ha py,” he said.<br />
The preparation for this year’s<br />
World Butchers’ Cha lenge was<br />
intense as the team members<br />
met in Auckland every two<br />
months for lengthy w ekend<br />
practices.<br />
Mr Garth, who has b en a<br />
butcher for 14 years, said the<br />
competition brought back his<br />
pa sion for the job.<br />
“Doing a l thi stuff and<br />
m eting new people, s eing new<br />
ideas, it just brings that flair<br />
back for you,” he said.<br />
Mr Garth hopes t own a<br />
butcher shop of his own someday<br />
but says for now he wi l focus<br />
on ge ting mor experience<br />
and on the 2020 cha lenge.<br />
“In two years’ time, we’ l be<br />
going back to try and win the<br />
title,” he said.<br />

AN U PER Ri carton butcher<br />

above his Au sie rivals at an<br />
international competition.<br />
Elite Meats owner Corey<br />
Winder was named in the a l<br />

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.<br />
Mr Winder and his team, the<br />
Pure South Sharp Blacks, which<br />
includes W olston butcher<br />
Jeremy Garth, finished second<br />
in the competition.<br />
He said the cha lenge started<br />
as a “transtasman test match”<br />
seven years ago.<br />
The preparation for this<br />
year’s World Butchers’ Challenge<br />
was intense as the team<br />
members met in Auckland<br />
every two months for lengthy<br />
w ekend practices. Mr Winder<br />
said coming second against 1<br />
other countries was a “fantastic”<br />
result.<br />
“To get second behind Ireland<br />
was a huge achievement and to<br />
be ahead of Australia is an<br />
even bi ger thing for us,” he<br />
said.<br />
But Mr Winder admires the<br />
Australian team.<br />
“Those guys over there<br />
[Australia] are on top of their<br />
game, they do a g od job,” he<br />
said.<br />
“And it just showcases that<br />
New Zealand has got some<br />
of the best butchers in the<br />
world,” he said.<br />
