Seventeen-year-old who never came home<br />

• By Sophie Cornish<br />

IN HER Redcliffs home<br />

overlooking the sea, you will<br />

find Jan Bargrove, one of a small<br />

handful of people still carrying<br />

the Bargrove name.<br />

Her late husband Robert<br />

Bargrove was the great-nephew<br />

of a young cadet whose life<br />

was tragically cut short during<br />

World War 1.<br />

Tomorrow on Anzac Day,<br />

he will be remembered,<br />

along with more than 18,000<br />

other New Zealanders who<br />

lost their lives during the Great<br />

War.<br />

It was November 19, 1917,<br />

and Geoffrey Bargrove was in<br />

his element, the 17-year-old<br />

was serving as an officer<br />

cadet aboard the S.S. Aparima,<br />

which was steaming from<br />

London to Barry, in South<br />

Wales.<br />

idea has<br />

residents<br />

concerned<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

A PLAN to bring seaplanes<br />

into Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong> has left<br />

residents concerned.<br />

Peninsula Air Ltd has applied<br />

to the Civil Aviation Authority<br />

to construct a waterdrome at the<br />

harbour which would provide<br />

seaplanes with<br />

an area to take<br />

off and land.<br />

Community<br />

Association<br />

Maynard is<br />

concerned<br />

Ken Maynard<br />

noise from the<br />

seaplanes would disturb<br />

residents.<br />

“We live in a port town so<br />

a certain amount of noise is<br />

expected but it does not need to<br />

be noisier than it already is,” he<br />

said.<br />

However, one of the company’s<br />

directors Mark Christensen was<br />

confident the impact on residents<br />

would be minimal.<br />

TOMORROW IS Anzac Day when we<br />

remember those who never returned home<br />

from war.<br />

We profile one of those poor souls,<br />

Geoffrey Bargrove (page 1).<br />

The 17-year-old cadet was from New<br />

Brighton, and one of his family, Jan Bargrove, lives in Redcliffs.<br />

Geoffrey was on the steamer Aparima, which was torpedoed<br />

and sunk by a German submarine in the English Channel in<br />

November 1917. The torpedo struck in the early hours of the<br />

morning.<br />

There was a high chance he would have been asleep with the<br />

other young cadets on the vessel. They would have stood no<br />

chance. Young lives taken well before their time.<br />

So spare a thought tomorrow for young Geoffrey and the<br />

others who went to war and never came home.<br />

Sumner skate park ideas sought<br />

SUMNER RESIDENTS will<br />

get the chance to contribute to<br />

the design of the planned skate<br />

park.<br />

The vacant site at 26 Nayland<br />

St was approved as the location<br />

for the skate park by the<br />

so the finished park meets their<br />

needs.<br />

“The upcoming workshop is<br />

brainstorm ideas and make sure<br />

we come up with a new skate<br />

park that’s a safe, challenging<br />

and practical recreational space<br />

for everyone who uses it,” he<br />

said.<br />

Ideas for the skate park<br />

collected at the workshop will be<br />

incorporated by Richard Smith<br />

from Rich Landscapes when he<br />

develops the design.<br />

Community feedback will be<br />

the funds would be available in<br />

Concerns over noise<br />

•From page 1<br />

“We intend to use a<br />

Cessna Caravan – its<br />

turbine engine is quiet.<br />

There are also noise rules<br />

within both the Regional<br />

Coastal Plan and the City<br />

Plan which the activity will<br />

need to meet.”<br />

Mr Christensen said the<br />

seaplanes would be used to<br />

take people on scenic tours<br />

of the peninsula.<br />

“It is still very early days,<br />

but we are thinking about<br />

providing a service that<br />

would complement all the<br />

other tourist operations in<br />

the peninsula.”<br />

He hoped the project<br />

would emulate the<br />

Sydney seaplanes<br />

experience.<br />

“In concept, it is<br />

a similar operation<br />

to the Sydney one<br />

involving a seaplane<br />

that takes people on<br />

scenic flights, if you<br />

look at the Sydney<br />

operation they also<br />

deliver people to tourist<br />

destinations as well.”<br />

Civil and Naval owner<br />

Louis Dyer shared Mr<br />

Maynard’s concerns.<br />

“THe pro is tourism and<br />

Mark<br />

Christensen<br />

SCENIC: A company is hoping to emulate the<br />

Sydney seaplane experience in Lyttelton.<br />

the con is noise. I live here<br />

on the port, I’m probably<br />

one of the closest houses to<br />

the port,” he said.<br />

Lyttelton Coffee<br />

Company owner<br />

Stephen Mateer<br />

said he did not<br />

like the sound of<br />

seaplanes coming<br />

to the harbour.<br />

“I couldn’t care<br />

less what it brings<br />

here in terms of<br />

tourism, my main<br />

concern would be the<br />

impact it would have on<br />

the marae out in Rapaki,”<br />

he said.<br />

THe Civil Aviation<br />

Authority is currently<br />

conducting an aeronautical<br />

consulted and the<br />

impact on the public<br />

will be assessed. Public<br />

submissions for the<br />

proposal are also open and<br />

will close on <strong>April</strong> 30.<br />

A CAA spokeswoman<br />

said even if the proposal<br />

was approved by the<br />

require resource consent<br />

which could delay or<br />

prevent it from happening.<br />

LYTTELTON’S town centre<br />

could be set to receive a boost.<br />

The city council has agreed<br />

to ask Greater Christchurch<br />

Regeneration Megan Woods<br />

to remove a requirement in the<br />

District Plan for all buildings in<br />

the commercial centre to provide<br />

on-site parking.<br />

The proposal<br />

is expected to<br />

be handed to<br />

she will have one<br />

decision.<br />

Deputy Mayor<br />

and Banks<br />

Peninsula city<br />

councillor<br />

Andrew Turner<br />

said the current<br />

requirements<br />

are inhibiting<br />

the area’s<br />

development.<br />

“What we have<br />

got is a rule that<br />

is impossible to<br />

achieve. If you look at this in<br />

terms of the Collett’s Corner<br />

building, under the current<br />

District Plan the parking<br />

requirements for that site are to<br />

provide 64 on-site car parks,” he<br />

said.<br />

Cr Turner said the current<br />

regulations are scaring off<br />

developers.<br />

“We are now over eight years<br />

on from the earthquakes and<br />

there are still a number of gaps<br />

on London St and a number of<br />

these have already had buildings<br />

planned for them but never<br />

happened, often because the<br />

development economics for them<br />

did not work under the current<br />

regulations,” he said.<br />

resource consent for a variation<br />

Bid to boost development in Lyttelton<br />

which means they don’t have<br />

process.<br />

Ohu Development founding<br />

partner and Collett’s Corner<br />

developer Camia Young said the<br />

process of applying for a resource<br />

consent for the variation had<br />

cost the project a lot of time<br />

and money. “This has slowed<br />

down and increased the costs<br />

there is always the chance<br />

that the council says no,” she<br />

said. “This is not a problem for<br />

Collett’s Corner but for the entire<br />

township of Lyttelton.”<br />

Lyttelton Community<br />

Association chairman Ken<br />

Maynard said the current<br />

restrictions as an obstacle to the<br />

centre’s revitalisation.<br />

“It is an obstacle and it needs<br />

removing because you don’t need<br />

more obstacles when there are<br />

enough problems already,” he<br />

contest elections in Christchurch<br />

Said Mr Fields: “It was a<br />

huge privilege to be voted in by<br />

Lytteltonians last year. It has<br />

been a massive learning curve<br />

but I have worked hard and I look<br />

forward to getting out there and<br />

talking to everyone again this<br />

year.”<br />

Mr Davidson works as a<br />

television series producer. “My<br />

values are Labour values, and as<br />

a Lyttelton resident, I’m aware of<br />

the issues and here to serve. I see<br />

the community board as a bridge<br />

between residents and local<br />

government, allowing residents<br />

to be involved in decisions that<br />

affect all of our everyday lives,”<br />

Young cadet’s death ‘devastating blow’ for family<br />

•From page 1<br />

At 12 knots the steamer moved<br />

slowly, it had recently been released<br />

from troopship duties, due<br />

to her slow pace.<br />

It was early in the morning and<br />

the ship was about 10km southwest<br />

of Anvil Point, nearing the<br />

Isle of Wight.<br />

Below the deck, near the ship’s<br />

stern, the cadets were in their<br />

sleeping quarters.<br />

At 12.50am, the Aparima met<br />

her fate.<br />

A German submarine, UB-40,<br />

fired a torpedo, which slammed<br />

into the ship’s stern.<br />

It shuddered, and sank rapidly,<br />

in a matter of minutes.<br />

Geoffrey, who had only been<br />

on the ship for three months,<br />

died, along with 55 others, including<br />

16 cadets. There were 110<br />

men on board. It was one of the<br />

worst losses of New Zealand lives<br />

at sea during World War 1.<br />

Except for the men on duty, the<br />

crew woke to find chaos.<br />

Of the three row boats that<br />

were launched, one overturned<br />

and survivors had to cling to it for<br />

some time in the icy waters. Fiftyfour<br />

men managed to survive.<br />

The cadets aboard the ship<br />

were not paid, but were provided<br />

with seagoing experience on the<br />

working cargo steamer.<br />

Parents of the young men had<br />

paid the Union Steamship Company<br />

for their service.<br />

A year before the ship’s last<br />

voyage, the company had written<br />

to the families of cadets about<br />

increased dangers, given Germany’s<br />

decision to wage unrestricted<br />

warfare against merchant<br />

shipping.<br />

The company offered parents<br />

the option to remove their boys<br />

from ships.<br />

However, few parents chose<br />

that course, often because they<br />

did not want to be seen as letting<br />

their country down.<br />

Cadets’ families saved hard to<br />

send their boys to sea, in the hope<br />

they would be repaid once their<br />

sons entered the navy.<br />

Geoffrey’s death was a “devastating<br />

blow” for his family; he was<br />

the youngest of four children.<br />

As one of the last few living<br />

Bargroves in Christchurch, Mrs<br />

Bargrove has Geoffrey’s memorial<br />

plaque, also known as a ‘dead<br />

man’s penny,’ which was given to<br />

next of kin of every person who<br />

died at sea during the war.<br />

Mr Bargrove, was a joiner and<br />

woodwork teacher and made an<br />

ornament out of it, by placing<br />

it inside a small wooden ship’s<br />

wheel, which she continues to<br />

clean and maintain.<br />

“My husband did it years ago,<br />

putting the wheel around it. It’s<br />

beautiful. I have heard of other<br />

people with the pennies, but<br />

not anyone who has put it into a<br />

ship’s wheel,” she said.<br />

TRAGIC<br />

LOSS: New<br />

sailor<br />

Geoffrey<br />

Bargrove<br />

was aboard<br />

the S.S.<br />

Aparima<br />

when it<br />

was sunk in<br />

November,<br />

1917.<br />

The couple have three children,<br />

one son named Grant who had<br />

two boys, who will carry on the<br />

Bargrove name.<br />

Tomorrow will be Mrs Bargrove’s<br />

first Anzac Day without<br />

her husband, and she plans to<br />

spend it with family in Akaroa.<br />

Geoffrey was survived by his<br />

brother Stanley, who was a radio<br />

operator during the war, and two<br />

sisters, Violet and Grace.<br />

They lived in New Brighton,<br />

running his father Robert’s business,<br />

Bargroves Drapery and<br />

Clothing Emporium on Seaview<br />

Rd.<br />

Geoffrey attended New Brighton<br />

District School prior to Christ’s<br />

College and received prizes for<br />

attendance in 1912 and 1913.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

He was posthumously awarded<br />

the British War Medal and the<br />

Mercantile Marine Medal.<br />

He is commemorated in a<br />

stained glass window at The Arts<br />

Centre, as well as London’s Tower<br />

Hill Memorial for Merchant Marine<br />

casualties, who have no grave.<br />

He is incorrectly recorded there<br />

as Bargrove, Cadet T, instead of<br />

Bargrove, Cadet G.<br />

Coastal Ward city councillor<br />

David East is also a descendant of<br />

the Bargrove family.<br />

His grandfather was Stanley<br />

Bargrove, Geoffrey’s brother.<br />

“My great-grandparents were<br />

still alive (when Geoffrey passed),<br />

I think it was quite a devastating<br />

blow to the family. He was<br />

never really spoken of . . . for my<br />

great-grandparents, it was a bitter<br />

blow.”<br />

Cr East called the story a “dark<br />

and murky part of history.”<br />

“We never really found out a<br />

huge amount about the family<br />

. . . it was probably just how death<br />

was treated in those days. You<br />

had a period of grieving and<br />

mourning for someone who was<br />

lost, but you didn’t commemorate<br />

it eternally afterwards.”<br />

As for the Aparima, she lies<br />

on the seafloor, 42m deep off<br />

the south coast of England. It is<br />

possible to dive down to see the<br />

wreck.<br />

Tiny houses up for sale<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

TINY HOUSES made by carpentry<br />

students will be auctioned off at<br />

Ray White Ferrymead next month.<br />

The auction will take place on<br />

May 18 at noon.<br />

The two double-glazed, fully<br />

insulated buildings were made by<br />

Ara carpentry students between<br />

the ages of 16 and 18.<br />

The proceeds made from the<br />

auction will be put towards<br />

funding a trip to Fiji where<br />

students will build homes for those<br />

affected by the tropical cyclones.<br />

Ara carpentry tutor Mick<br />

Cooke said he was blown away<br />

by the effort shown from his 20<br />

students.<br />

“The students have done a great<br />

job and I take my hat off to them.<br />

They have done everything a<br />

qualified tradesman would do,” he<br />

said.<br />

The homes come with a<br />

bathroom, shower, kitchen, living<br />

area and sleeping quarters.<br />

Ray White Ferrymead sales<br />

consultant Eddie Spry thought the<br />

student-made homes were better<br />

than some he had come across<br />

made by professionals.<br />

“Compared to the commercial<br />

ones that are made I would say that<br />

these ones are better, they have got<br />

a nice feel to it they flow and it has<br />

been made with a lot of pride,” he<br />

said.<br />

GOOD CAUSE: Profits made from the tiny houses will go<br />

towards funding a trip to Fiji where Ara students will build<br />

homes for those affected by the tropical cyclones.<br />

BRAVO: The Sumner Theatre Group following last year’s<br />

sell-out production.<br />

Production members sought<br />

AFTER A sell-out season last<br />

year, the Sumner Theatre Group<br />

is looking for new members for<br />

this year’s production.<br />

Auditions will be held at 7pm,<br />

Sunday, at the Matuku Takotako:<br />

Sumner Centre for this year’s<br />

production of Carnival by the<br />

Sea.<br />

The group is calling for<br />

performers, stage crew and wardrobe,<br />

musicians for the band.<br />

“The 2018 show was our<br />

best ever,” said president Colin<br />

Evans.<br />

“It’s amateur, it’s irreverent,<br />

it’s quite often politically incorrect;<br />

that’s the Sumner Theatre<br />

Group’s annual cabaret show and<br />

I tell you it’s a lot of hard work<br />

but heaps of fun.”<br />

“This is local theatre – the<br />

people you see on stage are painters,<br />

dentists, shop assistants or<br />

council workers, accountants or<br />

students – ordinary members of<br />

the community.”<br />

Each season of the production<br />

is a fundraising opportunity for<br />

local community groups who<br />

book out a whole show, then onsell<br />

the tickets.<br />

Mr Evans said the theatre<br />

group has always prided itself<br />

on being open to anyone with<br />

something to contribute.<br />

“Community theatre enriches<br />

the lives of all who take part in<br />

it – whether on stage or in the<br />

audience.”<br />

Chris conquers Tour of NZ<br />

• By Julia Evans<br />

CHRIS TODD has ticked<br />

the Tour of New Zealand<br />

off her bucket list.<br />

The former<br />

Christchurch<br />

Boys’ High<br />

School teacher<br />

has 27 tumours<br />

she calls “the<br />

fockers” and says<br />

she lives her life<br />

to the fullest “to<br />

spite them” –<br />

which is why she<br />

completed the tour.<br />

She didn’t cycle the full<br />

630km, saying she had to<br />

sit parts out because of the<br />

weather and her health.<br />

But she said while<br />

“conquering the fockers”<br />

and making it over<br />

Chris Todd<br />

the Crown Range was<br />

her favourite physical<br />

achievement, she was<br />

most proud of raising he<br />

Unicorn Foundation’s<br />

profile, which<br />

supports people<br />

with her form of<br />

cancer.<br />

“I was proud to<br />

raise awareness; just<br />

to give other people<br />

the opportunity for<br />

treatment,” she said.<br />

Since her<br />

diagnosis, the active<br />

Sumner resident has been<br />

doing everything in her<br />

power to finish her bucket<br />

list, which has included<br />

several trips to cycle the<br />

Alpes d’Huez section of the<br />

Tour de France, as well as<br />

making it up Evans Pass<br />

and Sumner Rd. But while<br />

Miss Todd had been in<br />

remission, the cancer has<br />

come back. She hasn’t been<br />

able to eat properly and has<br />

been on an IV.<br />

“When I was lying on<br />

the IV drip, I thought what<br />

the hell am I doing. But I’m<br />

really pleased I did.”<br />

Her next treatment will<br />

be on <strong>April</strong> 30 and she<br />

plans to ask her doctors<br />

how long she has left, then<br />

she plans to prove them<br />

wrong.<br />

Your Local Views<br />

Back to childhood<br />

LAST WEEK my mum and stepdad<br />

welcomed two new additions<br />

to their household.<br />

Two dogs, just in case you<br />

suddenly thought it was me and<br />

Vittoria.<br />

VITTORIA<br />

Bubs would react to seeing them,<br />

with dogs.<br />

We went out to their house for<br />

childish fun with my daughter and<br />

a whānau dinner and she spent<br />

doing but obviously were happy<br />

weekly.<br />

Time of year for reflection<br />

Port Hills MP<br />

Ruth Dyson<br />

says its time<br />

to remember<br />

what is<br />

important<br />

THE MORNINGS and the<br />

evenings are certainly telling<br />

us that autumn is here and that<br />

winter is on the way.<br />

The strong seasonal changes in<br />

our part of the country are spectacular<br />

with the vivid colours of<br />

autumn leaves surrounding us.<br />

And it is also a time of the year<br />

for reflection. The Easter period<br />

is a significant Christian time of<br />

reflection and coming so close<br />

to Anzac Day, and the terrorist<br />

events of March 15 still so fresh<br />

in our minds, is time for us all<br />

to remember what is important<br />

in our lives – our family and our<br />

communities.<br />

I was disappointed at the negative<br />

response from some about<br />

the merging of some RSA Anzac<br />

Day services, on the advice of<br />

police.<br />

I would have thought that we<br />

would take the advice of our<br />

police seriously on matters such<br />

as security and safety. We are<br />

fortunate that all the Anzac Day<br />

events in our areas are going<br />

ahead and I know that they will<br />

all be well supported as they<br />

always are.<br />

Another local event that will<br />

receive widespread support is the<br />

recent “handing over” of 14ha of<br />

land in the Heathcote Valley to<br />

a charitable trust – Kahukura.<br />

The riding school started 36 years<br />

ago, buying the land in the valley<br />

from farmers. The city council<br />

later bought some of the land<br />

to improve water flow through<br />

Heathcote and develop the<br />

Ferrymead sports fields and lake.<br />

The owners wanted to protect<br />

this special piece of green space<br />

so have vested the land in this<br />

trust so that the riding school can<br />

continue in the future and the<br />

green space will be protected.<br />

This is a great gift for the<br />

environment of the valley<br />

and will mean that the special<br />

character which this space<br />

provides will be retained for<br />

future generations.<br />

And it’s a great reflection on<br />

the generosity of those involved.<br />

Thank you.<br />

Ensure our estuary<br />

birds continue to thrive<br />

Linwood-<br />

Central-<br />

Heathcote<br />

Community<br />

Board<br />

member Tim<br />

Lindley writes<br />

about the East<br />

Asian-Australasian Flyway<br />

network<br />

IN OCTOBER 2018 the Avon<br />

Heathcote Estuary (Ihutai)<br />

joined an exclusive list of<br />

wetlands making up the East<br />

Asian-Australasian Flyway<br />

network. The application was<br />

a two-year joint effort by the<br />

Department of Conservation<br />

and the Avon-Heathcote<br />

Estuary/Ihutai Trust.<br />

The estuary is very special, as<br />

it is the only Australasian wetland<br />

in the Flyway that is within<br />

a city boundary. This new status<br />

of the estuary presents both an<br />

opportunity and a responsibility<br />

for our city.<br />

The flyway’s urban setting<br />

means that there is a new opportunity<br />

to promote the estuary<br />

as a reason to spend time in<br />

Christchurch.<br />

People are generally aware of<br />

the annual arrival of 1500 or so<br />

godwits non-stop from Alaska<br />

and their departure as summer<br />

ends, however, godwits represent<br />

only about five per cent of the<br />

birdlife. The estuary has well<br />

over 100 species altogether including<br />

other migratory species.<br />

Birdwatchers – or ‘birders’ as<br />

devotees are sometimes called –<br />

can be big business. According<br />

to a United States Fish and<br />

Wildlife Service study, birders<br />

contributed $36 billion to the US<br />

economy in 2006 and birding<br />

is an important form of ecotourism.<br />

Our country is already<br />

well known for adventure tourism.<br />

Just maybe Christchurch<br />

can also become known for its<br />

stunning natural setting and the<br />

different eco-tourism opportunities<br />

right here within the city.<br />

Having a flyway also places a<br />

responsibility on the people of<br />

Christchurch to ensure the birds<br />

continue to thrive.<br />

Here are a few things we might<br />

think about:<br />

•Estuary birds will see a dog as<br />

a potential predator (ie as a wolf)<br />

and react accordingly, even if the<br />

dog is minding its own business.<br />

Even if they don’t fly away they<br />

are likely to stop feeding and be<br />

in a high alert state for quite a<br />

period of time. The bylaws are a<br />

bit hard to follow but it’s probably<br />

illegal to walk a dog on the mudflats,<br />

and even if it’s not it may be<br />

kinder to the birds to stay on the<br />

paths when walking a dog.<br />

•Drones will also be really<br />

scary for birds, again because<br />

they look like a predator. A<br />

permit is required to use one<br />

over the estuary and associated<br />

wetlands so do take care about<br />

using drones to capture nature<br />

videos when birds are about.<br />

•Shellfish gathering is becoming<br />

increasingly common on the<br />

tidal flats close to Beachville Rd.<br />

While there are early indications<br />

that the level of gathering may<br />

be unsustainable (and more<br />

work needs to be done on that),<br />

there is another aspect to think<br />

about. The south island pied<br />

oyster catchers and many other<br />

birds only feed at low tide. If we<br />

want them to stay in the estuary<br />

as a healthy population they<br />

really need to be left in peace<br />

during their mealtime.<br />

The estuary is a great natural<br />

asset of the city and a fun water<br />

sports playground when the<br />

tide is in. Let’s all recognise that<br />

when the tide is out, it may not<br />

look like much is happening, but<br />

its dinner-time for the birds. If<br />

we value them being there, and<br />

the granting of flyway status<br />

suggests we do, maybe let them<br />

eat in peace because they don’t<br />

have all day to feed.<br />

Ake Ake Kia Kaha E!: Forever Brave<br />

History of B Company Maori Battalion 1939-1945<br />

By Wira Gardiner<br />

A truly unique insight into the impact the Second World War<br />

had on the iwi of the central North Island and <strong>Bay</strong> of Plenty<br />

districts (including Te Arawa, Ngati Tuwharetoa, Tuhoe,<br />

Whanau-a-Apanui, Ngati Maru and Ngati Paoa) focusing<br />

on the region’s war effort not only overseas, but also at<br />

home and in government. Through personal recollections,<br />

eyewitness accounts, numerous anecdotes and highly<br />

illustrated throughout, the book tells the fascinating story<br />

of the B Company’s war, capturing the special `spirit’ of the<br />

Maori Battalion. Features over 200 images, many not seen in print before, plus hundreds<br />

of portraits of the men of B Company (650+ our of approx 900 who served) generously<br />

provided by whanau. Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Harawira Wira Tiri Gardiner, KNZM, is a<br />

former professional soldier, senior public servant and writer. He was contracted to write B<br />

Company’s history in 2015. His tribal affiliations are Ngati Awa, Ngati Pikiao, Whakatohea<br />

and Te Whanua-a-Apanui.<br />

Frensham: A New Zealand Garden<br />

By Margaret Long and Juliet Nicholas<br />

In this lavishly illustrated book, Canterbury gardener, Margaret<br />

Long, tells the fascinating story of Frensham, considered one<br />

of New Zealand’s finest gardens. As though we are right there<br />

with her, the reader is taken on a tour through the seasons,<br />

listening as we go to Margaret’s thoughts and insights about<br />

why this plant was placed here or that tree there, what is<br />

behind her choices not just of plantings but also structures,<br />

materials, colours. This very personal and yet informative<br />

perspective on thirty years of gardening with passion makes<br />

for a delightful book to be treasured and shared. Highly acclaimed garden photographer,<br />

Juliet Nicholas, has “lived” with Frensham for an entire year, photographing its changes<br />

through the months and the seasons and providing a unique insight into the growth and<br />

development of these beautiful gardens.<br />

Where’s my room<br />

The Neil and Liam Finn summer 2018 tour of<br />

Aotearoa<br />

By Ian Jorgensen<br />

In the summer of 2018 Neil & Liam Finn teamed up with A<br />

Low Hum for a tour that took them to spots even the most<br />

ardent of Kiwi nomads would be hard-placed to point out<br />

on a map. It was a way to connect with audiences often<br />

neglected by touring musicians combined with an epic<br />

summer road-trip. ‘Where’s My Room’ was both a vacation for the Finns and their friends<br />

and a celebration of that li’l kiwi battler, the community hall. Nineteen shows in all, the tour<br />

stretched throughout January and saw Neil and Liam Finn debut live a wealth of material<br />

from their new collaborative album, Lightsleeper, as well as digging into the various band<br />

members’ envious and deep back catalogue of hits. Utilising his privileged position as<br />

promoter and tour manager, notorious music photographer Ian Jorgensen captured intimate<br />

moments of the Finns, crew and the visited communities on 35mm film. His candid<br />

portraiture documents the tour behind-the-scenes, showing what it’s like to be out on-theroad<br />

in rural New Zealand from the perspective of one of touring’s most roadworn advocates.<br />

Wake up, drive, load-in, set-up, sound-check, rest, perform, pack-down, load-out, sleep,<br />

repeat. This is what happens when twenty-odd friends, family, band and crew head out on<br />

the road in rural New Zealand and attempt something out-of-the-ordinary.<br />

Magnolia Kitchen<br />

Inspired Baking with Personality<br />

By Bernadette Gee<br />

Well known for her artistic cake designs, Bets of Magnolia<br />

Kitchen is a force to be reckoned with. From humble<br />

beginnings, she now runs a sweet cafe, wholesale distribution<br />

business and online shop delivering her retail products<br />

worldwide, while maintaining a strong following on Instagram.<br />

As well as her amazingly creative custom cakes, Bets is<br />

celebrated for her macarons, doughnuts, brioche, gourmet<br />

s’mores and many more mouth-watering treats. In her first<br />

cookbook she shares her journey and her widely sought-after<br />

recipes so that you can enjoy the deliciousness at home. With step-by-step instructions for<br />

cake decorating and making macarons, and a full range of allergy-friendly recipes, this is a<br />

must-have book for anyone interested in baking and eating.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Treasures found under fire station<br />

Archaeology Week<br />

runs from Saturday<br />

to May 5. In the lead<br />

up to it, the New<br />

Zealand Archaeological<br />

Association is highlighting<br />

some of Lyttelton’s<br />

history<br />

•Fire station site<br />

a treasure trove of<br />

archaeology<br />

When the Lyttelton Fire<br />

Station on London St was<br />

demolished due to earthquake<br />

damage, archaeologists<br />

uncovered more than 1000 items<br />

of historical interest. In total,<br />

1991 fragments, comprising<br />

1312 artefacts, were found (some<br />

items had been broken and/or<br />

had pieces missing). The official<br />

archaeological report prepared<br />

by Underground Overground<br />

Archaeology states the site is<br />

“unique and unusual.”<br />

“The number of artefacts,<br />

their location when found, the<br />

grouping of the objects, and<br />

how the site was modified over<br />

time, including rubbish pits,<br />

basements, and other features –<br />

all this makes the fire station site<br />

fascinating,” said New Zealand<br />

Archaeological Association<br />

president Katharine Watson.<br />

“In particular, this is the first<br />

archaeological analysis of a site<br />

where aerated water was bottled<br />

in the Christchurch region.”<br />

•Sparkling water not a<br />

new craze<br />

During the latter half of the<br />

19th century and early decades of<br />

the 20th century, the fire station<br />

site was used for the manufacture<br />

of at least five different brands of<br />

aerated water.<br />

From today’s standpoint,<br />

combining coal and sparkling<br />

water may be odd, but it did<br />

not seem so to Charles Curtis,<br />

who operated as both a coal<br />

merchant and an aerated<br />

water manufacturer at the site.<br />

Excavation found layers of black,<br />

ashy material in the ground and<br />

coal dust scattered across the site.<br />

Archaeology Week is a<br />

Association initiative, which<br />

highlights the importance<br />

of protecting archaeological<br />

heritage.<br />

Events are hosted in<br />

various cities by consultant<br />

archaeologists, museums,<br />

heritage organisations and<br />

Co stoneware and glass bottles<br />

were also buried in these layers.<br />

By dating some of the bottles<br />

and cross-checking this with<br />

historical records, archaeologists<br />

have concluded that Mr Curtis<br />

probably produced aerated water<br />

in London St “off and on until at<br />

least the 1920s.” Almost half of<br />

all the aerated water bottled and<br />

found on-site were Curtis and Co<br />

bottles, which the archaeologists’<br />

report describes as “curious,” in<br />

aerated water business is all but<br />

invisible in the historical record.”<br />

In local newspapers of the<br />

day, Mr Curtis advertised his<br />

coal business but not his water,<br />

prompting speculation that<br />

perhaps the water business<br />

was a sideline and not very<br />

profitable. The Trade Mark Act<br />

of New Zealand would also<br />

have prevented any subsequent<br />

business from using the<br />

embossed bottles, so perhaps<br />

they were dumped en masse<br />

In all, 291 aerated water bottles<br />

were recovered. Along with<br />

Curtis and Co, the other London<br />

St producers were J.B. Milsom<br />

(who manufactured on the site<br />

from 1885 to an unknown date),<br />

N.C. Schumacher (1891-1915), N.<br />

Seaforth (1915-unknown), and<br />

T.W. Firmin (1920-1942).<br />

In addition, there were bottles<br />

from five producers over the<br />

hill in Christchurch – Ballin<br />

Brothers (1885-1980s), Phil<br />

Kortegast (1930s-plus), Lister and<br />

Co (1894-1906), H. Mace and Co<br />

(1902-plus), and Were Brothers<br />

(1911-plus).<br />

•Illegal bottle<br />

scandal<br />

Along with local<br />

water bottles, the<br />

archaeological dig<br />

recovered water<br />

bottles from Australia,<br />

England and Ireland.<br />

How and why these<br />

bottles came to be<br />

on-site is unclear, but<br />

it is possible one or<br />

more manufacturers<br />

were illegally re-using<br />

someone else’s bottles<br />

– an offence under<br />

the Trade Mark Act.<br />

And Lyttelton did<br />

indeed have an illegal<br />

bottle scandal. On<br />

September 7, 1892,<br />

The Press published<br />

an open apology from<br />

London St producer<br />

N.C. Schumacher<br />

to a Christchurch<br />

manufacturer<br />

Henry Mace for<br />

“unknowingly” selling<br />

Mace’s bottles to a West<br />

Coast company. The<br />

following year, a report<br />

in The Star suggested<br />

Mr Schumacher again<br />

had issues over the provenance of<br />

bottles, this time with J.B. Milson<br />

of Lyttelton.<br />

•Not exactly ‘temperance<br />

town’<br />

Lest all this evidence of water<br />

drinking prompts questions<br />

about Lyttelton’s beer drinking<br />

credentials, the fire station site<br />

also contained a large number<br />

of early black beer bottles. “They<br />

are called ‘black’ but are actually<br />

a dark olive green in colour,”<br />

said Heritage New Zealand<br />

archaeologist Gwen Jackson.<br />

The bottles were mostly<br />

dumped on-site in the 1860s<br />

and early 1870s, which would<br />

correspond to the period when<br />

the Rising Sun Hotel operated at<br />

the north-east corner.<br />

Other bottles from a similar<br />

period may have contained<br />

whisky, gin, rum and other<br />

spirits.<br />

BIG WIN: Estella Hungerford performed well beyond her years to win the women’s title at the<br />

South Island championships in Dunedin.<br />

Hunger for titles pays off<br />

TAYLORS MISTAKE surfer<br />

Estella Hungerford won her<br />

first open women’s South Island<br />

championships title in Dunedin<br />

over the weekend.<br />

Estella, 17, posted an 11.6<br />

point total in the open division<br />

final for a comfortable victory<br />

over the all-South Island cast of<br />

surfers at St Clair Beach.<br />

She also competed in the<br />

under-18 final on Sunday, where<br />

a score of 5.9 saw her finish<br />

third.<br />

“In 18s it didn’t go my way<br />

earlier in the day. I had one good<br />

ride in that final but couldn’t<br />

find a back-up and lost,” she<br />

said.<br />

“I wanted to win the 18s more<br />

but had a bad heat so that fired<br />

THE SELWYN Futures Golf Hub<br />

is offering “time poor” families a<br />

chance to taste the sport together.<br />

​The initiative, launched by<br />

Canterbury Golf, aims to get<br />

more young people and their<br />

families onto the golf course.<br />

​The clubs involved include<br />

Charteris <strong>Bay</strong>, Ellesmere,<br />

Greendale, Hororata, Lincoln,<br />

McLeans Island and Tai Tapu.<br />

Membership is open to anyone<br />

under-19 with memberships for<br />

parents and guardians to play<br />

with their child at any of the<br />

clubs.<br />

Members also get an apparel<br />

pack, an official New Zealand<br />

Golf number and handicap, as<br />

me up for the open women’s . . .<br />

I surfed a good heat, which I was<br />

most happy about. The sets were<br />

inconsistent but I waited for<br />

them and got a couple.”<br />

In the open men’s division,<br />

Piha surfer Zen Wallis defended<br />

his title and recorded his second<br />

career win on the New Zealand<br />

Surf Series.<br />

In the longboard division,<br />

Wallis was forced to settle for<br />

second after being outclassed<br />

by defending champion Hugh<br />

Ritchie, who finished with an<br />

impressive 11.6.<br />

Meanwhile, the women’s<br />

longboard division was taken<br />

out by Donna Henderson with<br />

an 11.7. Her daughter Ava<br />

Henderson finished second in<br />

well as subsidised coaching and<br />

off-peak playing rights.<br />

Dave Williams and his two<br />

sons, Benji, 8, and Joshua, 5,<br />

became members of the hub after<br />

starting off at Wakatipu.<br />

“I’m time poor, I’d rather go<br />

out and play with my boys. To<br />

be playing golf with my boys is<br />

a bit of a dream and who knows<br />

when it will end because that’s up<br />

to them, but they’re sports mad,”<br />

Mr Williams said.<br />

He said another positive of the<br />

concept is meeting and playing<br />

golf with other families.<br />

“At this age, we aren’t expecting<br />

Tiger Woods . . . so as long as it’s<br />

fun and the kids are enjoying<br />

the under-20 girls division final.<br />

There was also success for<br />

Blair Cooke, who won the standup<br />

paddleboard with a score of<br />

9.9 in the final.<br />

The three-day event was<br />

hosted by South Coast<br />

Boardriders and was dual<br />

sanctioned by Surfing New<br />

Zealand and the South Island<br />

Surfing Association.<br />

Almost 200 entries were<br />

received for the event, with the<br />

majority coming from South<br />

Island surfers eager to contest<br />

the southern-most nationally<br />

sanctioned event.<br />

Surfers will now turn their<br />

attention to the Exit Surf men’s<br />

Canterbury championships at<br />

Gore <strong>Bay</strong> this weekend.<br />

themselves, that’s all that<br />

matters.”<br />

Mr Williams’ father Graham is<br />

a member at McLeans Island and<br />

enjoys having three generations<br />

on the same golf course.<br />

“The important thing is for it to<br />

be affordable and to play a range<br />

of golf courses,” Mr Williams<br />

said.<br />

”This suits me and my boys and<br />

the coaches tell me that both of<br />

them hit a nice ball so that’s good<br />

enough for me.”<br />

”I don’t want to make time for<br />

golf, unlike my dad, so if I can<br />

squeeze in some time to play with<br />

my boys on a Saturday or Sunday,<br />

then that’s great.”<br />

A SECOND drubbing in as<br />

many weeks means Sumner will<br />

be looking for their first win of<br />

season when they travel<br />

to Belfast on Saturday.<br />

On Good Friday,<br />

Sumner capitulated<br />

in their 22-76 loss to<br />

Linwood at Linfield<br />

Park. The result comes<br />

on the back of a 26-83<br />

loss to Marist Albion a<br />

week earlier. However,<br />

the results have not been<br />

a complete loss for the<br />

side, which gained fourtry<br />

bonus points in both games.<br />

In the loss to Marist,<br />

Sumner missed 46 tackles. But<br />

coach Martin Dodgson was<br />

impressed with his side’s initial<br />

improvement against Linwood,<br />

in which they missed 12 tackles<br />

to trail 10-26 at halftime.<br />

“It’s still wasn’t great, but was a<br />

marked improvement on the last<br />

week,” said Dodgson.<br />

However, the floodgates<br />

opened in the final stages of the<br />

match, which saw Sumner miss<br />

20 tackles in the final 18min.<br />

Sumner were able to secure a<br />

point from the match with tries<br />

SPORT<br />

Sumner aim to get<br />

rugby season on track<br />

after heavy defeats<br />

to Alistair Crossdale, Ben Shaw,<br />

William Sakura and Mathew<br />

Tuala.<br />

Dodgson believes there is light<br />

at the end of the tunnel due to<br />

their form on attack.<br />

“The tries we’re scoring<br />

are bloody good tries,<br />

so we know we’re not<br />

far away from a good<br />

performance . . . we’re<br />

attacking really well and<br />

low on confidence, so<br />

what’s going to happen<br />

when we’re attacking<br />

Martin with confidence and start<br />

Dodgson getting the bounce of the<br />

ball and making our own<br />

luck?”<br />

Sumner sit 10th in the 12-team<br />

premier metro competition with<br />

three points after four rounds,<br />

while Belfast are yet to register a<br />

point.<br />

“We’re struggling to fight our<br />

way out of a paper bag at the<br />

moment,” Dodgson said.<br />

“Out at Belfast has always<br />

been a tough battle, so we’ll go<br />

back to the drawing board and<br />

really have to sort ourselves out<br />

mentally, as well as tactically.”<br />

Mercedes-Benz CLS a real head-turner<br />

Motoring<br />

Ross Kiddie<br />

I DOUBT I’ll ever know the real<br />

answer. Why, after many years,<br />

has Mercedes-Benz gone back to<br />

a straight six-cylinder engine in<br />

one of its models?<br />

It goes like this – for as long as<br />

I can remember its mainstream<br />

engines were straight-sixes,<br />

then in the late 90s the company<br />

reconfigured them to a V6-type<br />

that were highly successful, now<br />

the new CLS-Class arrives with<br />

an engine that has gone full<br />

circle – an inline six.<br />

I can work out the answer to a<br />

certain extent, and no-one knows<br />

better than me – most of the<br />

cars I have ever owned have had<br />

straight-six engines – they are<br />

renowned for their smoothness<br />

and refinement, and I guess that’s<br />

where Mercedes-Benz is coming<br />

from, the CLS450 is the epitome<br />

of sophistication and elegance.<br />

The CLS is classed as a coupe,<br />

to me it’s pretty much a coupetype<br />

sedan with its four doors<br />

yet definite sloping rear which<br />

incorporates a deep underliftback<br />

boot.<br />

The evaluation car was painted<br />

black, and it captured attention<br />

from everyone who gazed at<br />

it, it’s a stunning looker and<br />

measures up in the area of<br />

performance. Mercedes-Benz<br />

label it a mild hybrid, there<br />

are engineering aspects which<br />

gather, store and deliver energy;<br />

however, for me I still see it as a<br />

traditional power plant, and that<br />

fabulous six-potter is amazing<br />

with its outputs and polish on<br />

delivery.<br />

Mercedes-Benz rates the<br />

turbocharged 3-litre unit<br />

at 270kW and 500Nm of<br />

torque, both outputs realised<br />

at usable points in the rev<br />

band – 5500rpm and 1600rpm<br />

respectively. Drive from the<br />

engine, and small electric motor,<br />

is channelled through a ninespeed<br />

automatic gearbox to all<br />

four wheels, yes the CLS in this<br />

form utilises the 4Matic system<br />

carried across many other<br />

models from this stable.<br />

Put simply, in the CLS’ case,<br />

the 4Matic system is a device to<br />

enhance grip levels on sealed<br />

surfaces, and that characterises<br />

the model, it is a slick open road<br />

charger with handling ability<br />

to address the power outputs.<br />

Of course, there are several<br />

drive modes, and some of those<br />

are structured so that the high<br />

country roads can be tackled<br />

with speed and dignity.<br />

MERCEDES-BENZ CLS450: Classed as a coupe but with the<br />

benefit of four doors.<br />

I took the test car on a short<br />

Port Hills loop and thoroughly<br />

enjoyed its ride and handling<br />

balance.<br />

The CLS is low (1.4m), as a<br />

consequence there is little body<br />

movement over the suspension,<br />

and if you add in the quality of<br />

the air suspension elements there<br />

is little doubt the CLS is made for<br />

those quick highway journeys.<br />

Huge low profile 20in Good Year<br />

Eagle tyres add to the equation,<br />

grip is high and performance<br />

barely equalled in a car of this<br />

type.<br />

In terms of figures, the CLS<br />

450 will accelerate to 100km/h<br />

in 4.8sec and will make a<br />

highway overtake in 3.8sec, it<br />

simply scorches through the<br />

acceleration process, and there’s<br />

no point where the engine stops<br />

giving, it is forceful, yet you<br />

would never know it is working<br />

hard, it simply delivers without<br />

sound.<br />

As honest as it is with its<br />

response, the engineers have also<br />

developed the driveline with fuel<br />

economy in mind. Mercedes-<br />

Benz claims an 8.7-litre per<br />

100km (32mpg) combined cycle<br />

average. That sits well with the<br />

9.4l/100km (30mpg) figure<br />

showing constantly on the dash<br />

display graphics. At 100km/h it<br />

is sipping fuel at just 5l/100km<br />

(56mpg) with the engine turning<br />

over amazingly low at 1250rpm.<br />

All of these computations add<br />

up to a beautifully engineered<br />

vehicle, it also stands out for its<br />

dignity and all of those values<br />

you look to Mercedes-Benz for.<br />

The CLS 450 has a magnitude<br />

of safety kit, and that’s evident<br />

every time you drive it. There are<br />

• Price – Mercedes-Benz<br />

CLS450, $157,890<br />

• Dimensions – Length,<br />

4988mm; width,<br />

2069mm; height,<br />

1435mm<br />

• Configuration – Sixcylinder,<br />

four-wheel-drive,<br />

2999cc, 270kW, 500Nm,<br />

nine-speed automatic.<br />

• Performance –<br />

0-100km/h, 4.8sec<br />

• Fuel usage – 7.6l/100km<br />

almost autonomous-like devices<br />

which keep you out of trouble.<br />

There’s also a plethora of<br />

features for comfort and<br />

convenience, the CLS just feels<br />

so right to be in. While it is a<br />

big car at almost 5m, you don’t<br />

actually feel its size when you are<br />

driving it.<br />

As a driver it gives you<br />

all of the feel and satisfaction<br />

you would expect from a car<br />

which lists in standard form at<br />

$157,890.<br />

Although it may<br />

seem like a big outlay, I’d happily<br />

pay that amount for such a true<br />

luxury car, one which delivers<br />

so much in terms of overall<br />

performance.<br />

Every time now I get in the<br />

Kiddie-family Toyota I’m looking<br />

for the six-cylinder smoothness<br />

that also makes the CLS so<br />

desirable. It’s not quite there in<br />

the Toyota, but it is certainly an<br />

indication of what the inline-six<br />

can deliver.
