Effectiveness of Sumner 

sea wall under investigation 

• By Louis Day 

THE effectiveness of the 

Sumner Esplanade rock 

retaining wall is being 

investigated. 

The 1.2km wall extends 

from Cave Rock to 

Scarborough Beach and 

protects Sumner from 

flooding. 

The assessment comes 

six years after a report 

from environmental and 

engineering consultants 

Tonkin & Taylor found the 

condition of the rock wall 

left Sumner vulnerable to 

flooding. 

Linwood-Central- 

Heathcote Community 

Board member Darrell 

Latham said an assessment 

of the wall was long 

overdue. 

“The overall effectiveness 

of the current sea wall is 

questionable. As a matter 

of priority, Sumner residents 

require a functional sea wall 

to mitigate climate change 

predictions and storm 

surges. Funding should be 

allocated in the Long Term 

Plan to undertake this work 

as soon as possible,” he 

said.

WE HAVE a great spread of photos from 

the various Anzac Day services in the Bay 

Harbour News area (see pages 4-5). 

As usual the services were well 

patronised by young and old alike. 

It must have been a tremendously proud feeling for those who 

have personal ties to the services, and for those who have had 

family fight in long gone conflicts and wars. 

Sumner Redcliffs RSA’s Bernie Godden also reflects on Anzac 

Day in the aftermath of the city’s terrorist attack. 

He says: “The decision to go ahead with the Anzac Day parade 

was unanimous, unequivocal. Those attending were not to be 

bowed by the horrific events of March 15.” 

And thanks to the RSAs which sent in photos for our spread.

Boy racers burn up Naval Point 


BURNOUTS IN the early hours 

of the morning are upsetting 

campers and nearby residents at 

Naval Point. 

Boy racers have been an ongoing 

issue at Naval Point since the 

barrier arm was removed by the 

city council since in November. 

A nearby resident 

who wished to 

remain anonymous 

said the situation 

had been getting 

progressively worse 

since then. 

Andrew 

Rutledge 

“You have 20 

freedom campers 

lined up in their 

vans and you get two or three 

cars that come in and intimidate 

everybody, I watched one guy 

who burnt up so much that he 

blew his tyres out and drive back 

to Lyttelton on his rims,” they 

said. 

Sergeant Franco Lovrich said 

boy racers found to be causing a 

disturbance would be fined $600. 

“It is a nuisance and there is 

enforcement action that will be 

taken if those responsible are 

found doing it,” he said. 

Several reviews complaining 

about the behaviour of boy racers 

at the site have been left on the 

tree trouble?

“Stayed here on Saturday and 

was unfortunately woken up at

and racing in the camp site!? 

What on earth?! It was disgraceful 

and dangerous so will never 

return here again.” 

City council head of parks 

Andrew Rutledge said the barrier 

arm was removed because constant 

damage was costing the city 

council $15,000 a year in repairs. 

Mr Rutledge said there was a 

development plan under way for 

the Naval Point area and that 

consideration of public access 

would go out for consultation 

later in the year.

Anzac Day services 

Anzac Day services went ahead as usual and were well attended across the Bay Harbour News area. 

Past and present members of the military, war veterans and descendants of those lost in conflict 

came together to commemorate the occasion. Here are some images from the Sumner, Lyttelton and 

Diamond Harbour events. 

FULL VOLUME: The City of Christchurch Highland Pipe Band at the

LEGEND: World War 2 veteran and Private William Joker watches on during the

RSA’s Bernie 

Godden 

reflects on 

Anzac Day in 

the aftermath 

of the March 15 shootings 

THE DECISION to go ahead 

with the Sumner Anzac Day 

parade was unanimous, 

unequivocal. 

Those attending were not to be 

bowed by the horrific events of 

March 15. 

So many familiar faces turned 

up and a lot of new ones too. 

Representatives from all the 

services past and present took 

part in the parade along Wakefield 

Ave to the Sumner Redcliffs 

RSA memorial gates, where the 

service was held, the reassuringly 

familiar laying of wreaths, the 

sounding of the Last Post, the 

lowering of the flags, followed by 

a minute’s silence. 

Then the Ode to the Fallen, recited 

by the president Pat Boland. 

The Sumner Silver Band burst 

forth with the Reveille as the flags 

go back up. 

The Reverend Thomas Brauer 

then led the Lord’s Prayer, inviting 

people of all faiths, and those 

without, to plea for peace. It was a 

poignant recital. 

The guest speaker Colonel 

Craig Duane, is a man with considerable 

military experience. He 

highlighted the many conflicts in 

which New Zealand servicemen 

have taken part over the years 

and continue to this day. They 

defend our principles across the 

globe. They have our respect. Let 

us not forget that many need our 

continuing support. 

Following the Thanksgiving 

and Benediction, the crowd 

joined in the singing of the 

National Anthems of the United 

Kingdom, Australia and New 

Zealand, bringing the event to a 

fitting conclusion. 

SOLIDARITY: Sumner Redcliffs RSA president Pat Boland 

makes her way to the memorial gates on Wakefield Ave.

News 

Hollywood to Redcliffs for cinema owner 

• By Julia Evans 

A FORMER writer for major 

Hollywood film studios who left 

the bright lights of Los Angeles 

for love is getting ready to open 

the new Arts Centre cinema. 

Redcliffs resident Max 

Hoffman co-owns the Lumiere 

Cinemas with cinephile Nick 

Paris. It is expected to show its 

first film soon – although it was 

planned to open by Easter. 

“It will open 

very soon, within 

the next couple 

of months, but 

we really want to 

get it right.” 

The pair have 

been hands-on 

Max 

Hoffman 

throughout the 

whole process, 

travelling to 

China to work 

with the manufacturer on every 

centimetre of the Lumiere’s fit 

out. 

“We went over and sat in 

the chairs. You can try and 

order things online, but we had 

everything custom done.” 

But before moving to 

Christchurch after the 

February 22, 2011, earthquake, 

Mr Hoffman worked as a 

screenwriter for 20th Century 

Fox and Disney studios. 

He was not credited for the 

AT THE MOVIES: The new Lumiere Cinemas will open soon in the Arts Centre. 

work, which included re-writing 

scripts. 

“I was an in-house writer with 

the writers’ guild for 10 years . . . 

it’s hard work and if I’m honest, 

it was thankless,” Mr Hoffman 

said. 

He left the Hollywood industry 

five years before moving to 

Christchurch. 

“I’d done it, it was a hard job, 

and as a writer, I just didn’t 

have anything else to say,” Mr 

Hoffman said. 

“Then I met my husband, he 

was a Kiwi travelling in LA.” 

Mr Hoffman left his 

home in LA to live with his 

husband Sebastian Stapleton 

in Christchurch after the 

earthquake. 

“I said I’m going to move there 

and help you. I’d never been here 

before, I didn’t know where it 

was, which is embarrassing to say 

now.” 

Mr Hoffman then fell in love 

again. 

“It truly is the best city in the 

world. There’s no better city than 

Christchurch.” 

He met Mr Paris on a visit to 

Christchurch’s iconic Alice in 

Videoland, which is where the 

idea for Lumiere Cinema was 

hatched. 

Mr Paris has worked in local 

cinema for the last 40 years - 

from being a cinema projectionist 

to helping ensure the Isaac 

Theatre Royal was equipped for 

screen movies. 

“I got to meet Nick, who has 

this incredible passion for film 

and my husband, and I knew we 

had to get behind him,” he said. 

“Christchurch is very fortunate 

to have Nick running and 

programming the Lumiere as 

his depth of knowledge in film is 

most impressive and people who 

love movies will be able to benefit 

from that when they talk with 

him.” 

When it opens, the cinema will 

feature two theatres and a bar 

overlooking the Botanic Gardens. 

Mr Hoffman said it would also 

host outreach programmes for 

prospective film makers. 

“They used to do that at the 

Arts Centre, so we want to bring 

it back,” he said. 

‘Flying boats’ part of Lyttelton Harbour’s past 

Bay Harbour News 

reported last week on 

a plan to bring 

seaplanes to Lyttelton 

Harbour – but it would 

not be the first time 

they have taken off 

in the area. Louis Day 

looks at previous visits 

PENINSULA AIR Ltd is working 

to bring seaplanes to the harbour. 

If the Rangiora-based company 

is successful, it would not be the 

first time seaplanes have operated 

in the area. 

On January 3, 1938, a flying 

boat from 

Wellington 

was welcomed 

by thousands 

of spectators 

at Lyttelton 

Harbour. 

It took just over 

Maryanne 

Jackson 

90min for the 

plane to complete 

its journey from 

Wellington. 

The Imperial Airways flyingboat 

Centaurus was the largest 

aeroplane to enter the South 

Island at the time. 

It came from the south-west, 

flying swiftly over Gebbies Pass 

and landing near Erskine Point 

less than 2min after it was first 

spotted by the crowd standing on 

the port wharves. 

The flying boat had successfully 

completed what was the longest 

flight in the history of British 

commercial aviation three days 

before arriving in Lyttelton, 

making the journey from 

England to Wellington. 

Former Lyttelton resident 

Maryanne Jackson remembers 

several seaplanes coming into the 

harbour during the 1950s. 

“I would have been in primary 

school at the time. I remember 

them coming and landing, it 

happened a few times.” 

“It was quite exciting for us, we 

were quite young and we had not 

seen a plane land in the sea,” she 

said.

CHANGE: Restrictions on property owners in the Port Hills could reduce. 

Proposal to ease restrictions 

on Port Hills properties 


PROPERTY restrictions 

on Port Hills’ homeowners 

could be reduced. 

The city council has 

agreed to ask Minister for 

Greater Christchurch Regeneration 

Megan Woods 

to update the slope instability 

overlays in the District 

Plan to reflect the changed 

risk profile. 

The proposal is expected 

to be handed to Dr Woods 

in July and she will have a 

month to make a decision. 

After the earthquakes,

A DECISION on the 

funding of Sumner’s crime 

cameras will not be made 

until August 5. 

A key figure behind the 

bid to bring crime cameras 

to the suburb said this was 

too long to wait. 

Chief executive of security 

company October 

Protection 

and Sumner 

resident Matt 

Wood, was 

ready to 

supply Safer 

Sumner with 

security 

cameras after they raised 

$4000. 

However, the cost of 

the cameras skyrocketed 

to $20,000 after police 

requested the cameras be 

aligned with their system. 

This led to Safer Sumner 

approaching the Linwood- 

Central-Heathcote 

Community Board in 

December. 

Hills to identify properties 

affected by – or potentially 

at risk from – rockfall, cliff 

collapse or movement. 

However, the current 

outdated slope instability 

overlays are imposing unnecessary 

restrictions on 

Port Hills homeowners. 

Deputy Mayor Andrew 

Turner said the updated 

overlays would reduce 

restrictions on affected 

homeowners. 

“It would give the property 

owner more flexibility 

and it, therefore, means 

when the property is sold 

it gives the future owner 

more flexibility, which may 

The community board 

requested further technical 

information on the 

cameras following their 

presentation. 

Safer Sumner made 

a formal application to 

the Strengthening Communities 

Fund once the 

community board received 

the technical information 

which will be decided on in 

August. 

“We have had a measure 

to reduce crime, I have 

purchased the cameras, 

they are sitting in my office 

well be reflected in property 

values,” he said. 

The city council’s regulatory 

performance committee 

said without an amendment 

to the slope instability 

overlays, affected property 

owners would continue to 

have unnecessary restrictions, 

costs and uncertainty 

imposed on them. 

“This may result 

in property owners 

being unable to carry 

out activities on their 

properties, may hinder 

property sales and may 

be affecting property 

values,’’ a report from the 

committee said. 

Decision on crime cameras 

will be made in August 

Matt Wood 

when they could have deterred 

a serious amount of 

crime and we just continue 

to face red tape,” Mr Wood 

said. 

Mr Wood said Sumner 

desperately needed some 

form of crime prevention. 

“Criminals look for 

weakness and wealth. 

Sumner portrays wealth 

and the absence of cameras 

and a permanent police 

presence in Sumner is 

creating weakness and 

therefore opening ourselves 

up to crime.”

HISTORY: The footpath along the rock wall following a storm in July 1978. 

Sea wall investigation 

•From page 1 

Emails obtained by Bay 

Harbour News show the purpose 

of the assessment was to report 

on the present condition of the 

rock wall and identify the best 

way to restore its effectiveness. 

The report from Tonkin & 

Taylor stated the rock wall was 

likely to be overtopped during a 

one per cent annual exceedance 

probability event, resulting 

in seawater flowing over the 

Esplanade and potentially 

flooding the first row of houses 

in the area. 

AEP is the probability of a 

certain size of flood occurring 

in a single year. 

A one per cent AEP flood flow 

has a one per cent chance of 

occurring in any one year and a 

10 per cent chance of occurring 

in any 10-year period. 

Dr Latham said the 

community board was not 

informed about the assessment 

before it was undertaken. 

“I had to hear about the 

project details through 

unofficial sources and I’m 

angry that the city council did 

not take the time to update the 

community board or the 

Sumner community about 

the scope and significance of 

the assessment before it was 

undertaken.” 

Dr Latham said he would be 

requesting that the findings of 

the assessment be made public 

once completed. 

BOOST: John McLister with a group of seafarers from the 

Philippines outside the Lyttelton Seafarers’ Centre. 

Seafarers’ centre may 

get more funding 


THE LYTTELTON Seafarers’ 

Centre could receive a boost. 

Mayor Lianne Dalziel has met 

with Lyttelton Port Company 

chairwoman Margaret Delvin to 

discuss ongoing funding options 

for the centre. 

The city council has also 

requested Christchurch City 

Holdings Ltd engage with LPC to 

support the centre. 

Further discussions with the 

Banks Peninsula Community 

Board will happen before a 

final decision is made on future 

funding. 

LPC currently gives $5000 

to the centre every year, while 

Christchurch City Holdings Ltd 

does not provide the centre with 

funding. 

The centre has had more than 

10,000 visits from seafarers since 

it opened three years ago. 

Lyttelton Seafarers’ Centre 

Charitable Trust chairman 

John McLister said more funding 

will allow the centre to offer a 

more complete service. “With 

the current limited funding 

we have, we can only be open 

certain nights of the week. More 

funding would mean we could do 

longer hours and provide a better 

service,” Rev McLister said.

happening at the club 

LYTTELTON Rotary has been 

blooming daffodil bulbs as our 

first fundraising project of the 

year. 

Thank you to all of you who 

have purchased our quality 

bulbs – we are aiming to make 

this an annual fundraiser as it 

has been a sell-out this year. 

We will be blooming again 

next year so come to us for your

Rotary Youth Leadership Award

it is in fact the spring of my new

to lift visitor numbers 

at Lyttelton rec centre 

THE LYTTELTON Recreation 

Centre is offering a fresh 

programme of events, classes 

and activities. 

It comes after the city council 

partnered with Project Lyttelton 

to revitalise the centre. 

City council head of 

community support, 

governance and partnerships 

John Filsell said he felt 

the centre could be put 

to better use if it was 

actively managed by a 

community group. 

“Since reopening in 

2016, it was clear the 

centre wasn’t achieving 

the numbers it had 

enjoyed pre-quake,” he 

said. 

“We reached out to 

Project Lyttelton to see 

if they’d be interested to form 

a partnership to activate and 

manage the centre.” 

Project Lyttelton chairwoman 

Margaret Jefferies said the 

partnership would help bring 

the community together.

Centre is the largest facility 

available for community use

Sri Lankan, Filipino, Maori, and

We are all just New Zealanders 

getting on with making 

Christchurch and the Port Hills 

a great place to live. 

What unites us is that we 

sit as one family in the Port 

Hills, irrespective of where our 

heritage might once have come 

from. That is who we are. 

That is the Port Hills I chose to 

work for. 

I may be retiring from 

in Lyttelton. In years past, it 

had high use for recreational 

sport, community groups and 

occasional hire. Many a child’s 

birthday party was held at the 

rec centre.” 

“We’re delighted to partner 

with the city council and 

the Lyttelton community to 

transform our much-loved 

recreation centre into a 

thriving, self-sustaining

project was started last

Balancing sugar intake 

I HOPE you’ve all had an 

awesome Easter break and 

ate more chocolate than I 

did. 

Not that I didn’t have 

heaps, I’m just generous 

with my hopes. 

Maybe it’s because she’s 

our first child but Laura 

and I are pretty strict on 

how much sugar we let 

Vittoria have. If we’re 

having something sweet to 

eat in front of her, she’ll get 

a wee bit to taste, but we 

don’t normally give her one 

of her own. 

Secretly, I think we 

limit it so that she might 

continue being a healthier 

eater than us for her 

lifetime. 

Long story short, Vittoria 

did not get an Easter egg. 

However, she did eat 

a lot of good food at 

multiple family meals and 

even scoffed a few pieces 

of Laura’s mum’s famous 

italian prune cake (once 

erroneously translated 

as “mum’s sweet affair of 

prunes” by Facebook). 

Her other little Easter 

treat was getting to take 

one of mum’s new dogs 

for a walk to work off the 

meals. She was super cute 

leading the wee pooch 

about with the lead. 

Didn’t last a whole walk,

she eventually just got over 

it and dropped the lead. 

Recently, we’ve begun 

noticing a new behaviour 

in Vittoria; jealousy – 

especially of Laura. 

If I’m holding Vittoria 

and Laura comes up for a 

hug too, Vittoria pushes her 

hand into her face to shove 

her away.

Big first-up test for Lincoln Combined 

• By Jacob Page 

Tom 

Hooper 

LINCOLN COMBINED will 

start their UC Championship 

rugby campaign with a tricky 

home assignment on Saturday. 

Under new coach Tom Hooper, 

they will take on last year’s semifinalists 

Rangiora High School. 

Lincoln Combined had their 

most successful season in the 

competition last year, finishing 

seventh but challenging for a 

top-four spot over 

the majority of the 

season. They were 

also undefeated 

at their Lincoln 

High School-base 

during the roundrobin. 

Lincoln 

Combined beat 

Waitaki Boys’ 

High School 17-7 on Saturday in 

their final preseason game. 

Hooper, who takes over from 

Mike Wilson, said he is happy 

with the squad’s preseason 

work, which has seen them train 

together for the past eight weeks 

and get a 37-0 win over Mid- 

Canterbury Combined. 

The squad has 15 players 

returning from last season, 

including captain and playmaker 

Wil Gualter. 

Hooper said with the cyclical 

nature of secondary school rugby 

teams, he is keen to focus on 

what his team does well to get off 

to a strong start this season. 

TEAM: Lincoln Combined are looking to improve on last year’s UC Championship rugby 

campaign in which they finished seventh. 

“Overall, I’m really pleased 

with how the preseason has 

gone,” he said. 

“The squad is fit and any 

preseason niggles we had are 

clearing up and we have a good 

base of players in our squad to 

start the season,” he said. 

He said it will be important 

for his team to make the most of 

their home games this season. 

Hooper said if any teams 

underestimate them, particularly 

in the forwards where they have 

been traditionally under-size, he 

will welcome the challenge. 

“We’ll be going into every 

game respecting the teams we’re 

playing and expecting to come 

up against some really good 

sides. We wanted to have a squad 

that we felt could go the full 

70min and we are confident we 

have that.” 

Hooper said he hopes the 

boys who have returned from 

last season have learnt from 

their experiences playing 

against traditional competition 

heavyweights, like Christchurch 

Boys’ High School and Christ’s 

College, to improve their play in 

crucial moments. 

The team will face several 

road trips this season with two 

to Timaru to take on Roncalli 

Combined on May 18 and 

Timaru Boys’ High School on 

July 6. 

They’ll also head to Ashburton 

to play Mid-Canterbury 

Combined on June 1, and play 

their penultimate round-robin 

fixture in Nelson against Waimea 

Combined on July 27. 

Saturday’s game against 

Rangiora High School at Lincoln 

High School kicks-off at 2.30pm.

Aaron's Surf Report 

A PROLONGED flat spell 

through the school holidays 

was broken just in time for the 

Exit Surf Canterbury men’s surf 

championships over the weekend. 

THe contest started in 60cm 

waves at New Brighton and was 

moved to Taylors Mistake for the 

finals day. This was the first time 

the event had been at Taylors for 

many years and it was great to 

see New Zealand’s top surfers 

ripping it up on our beach. 

After a messy and windy start 

to the day, conditions turned 

it on for the finals with winds 

swinging offshore and a low tide 

creating punchy, peeling left and 

right-handers across the bay. 

Gisborne’s Maz Quinn put 

on a clinical display of high 

performance surfing to win 

the open men’s. Local surfers 

performed well, too, with Rodney 

Somogyvari (Sumner) winning

our best months for surf. The 

water temperature is still hanging

the weather this week and we 

should enjoy some nice little

weather pattern before the winter

Sea People, The Puzzle of Polynesia 

by Christina Thompson 

For more than a millennium, Polynesians occupied the remotest islands in the 

Pacific Ocean, an enormous triangle stretching from Hawaii to New Zealand to 

Easter Island. Polynesians today can trace their roots back to a group of epic 

voyagers who first explored this vast expanse Sailing in large, double-hulled 

canoes, they were the first and, until the era of European discovery, the 

only people ever to have reached this part of the globe. Today, they 

are widely acknowledged as the world’s greatest navigators. 

But how did these ancient mariners find all these islands? 

How did they reach them? Diving deep into the history of the 

Pacific, Christina Thompson uncovers who these voyagers 

were, where they came from, and how they managed to 

colonise every habitable island in Remote Oceania. A thrilling 

intellectual detective story, Sea People combines the thrill of 

exploration, the wonder of pursuit, and the drama of a gripping 

historical puzzle.

the first in an exciting series featuring enigmatic investigator Colter Shaw. 

A student kidnapped from the park. 

Nineteen-year-old Sophie disappears one summer afternoon. She wakes up to find

cases. But this will be a test even for him. 

A killer playing a dangerous game. 

Soon a blogger called Henry is abducted – left to die in the dark heart of a remote 

forest – and the whole case gets turned on its head. Because this killer isn’t 

following the rules; he’s changing them. One murder at a time…

Big blow to 

Sumner’s 

metro rugby 

top six hopes 

• By Gordon Findlater 

A PLACE IN the top six appears 

to be out of reach for Sumner 

after they fell to their fifth 

straight defeat in the premier 

metro rugby competition. 

Sumner once again conceded 

a flurry of late tries at the 

weekend to go down 15-37 to 

Belfast at Sheldon Park. They 

now head into Saturday’s match 

against competition frontrunners 

Lincoln University 

without a win. 

Sumner trailed by just one 

point at half-time against Belfast 

after tries to Alistair Crossdale 

and Eiji Kaneda. However, they 

were only able to amass an 

early penalty in the second half 

before Belfast retook the lead 

and never relinquished it. 

Sumner coach Martin 

Dodgson said they will now 

readdress their goals for the 

season with a top six place all 

but out of reach. 

However, Sumner’s division 

two side won their first match 

in almost two years when they 

claimed the ‘golden jandal’ from 

Suburbs in a 40-14 win at Hoon 

Hay Park. 

•Sumner v Lincoln University 

kicks off at St Leonards Square 

at 2.45pm.

Nothing prickly about Citroen’s Cactus 

Motoring 

Ross Kiddie 

WHEN CITROEN’S Cactus 

first made its way onto the 

global market it raised eyebrows 

everywhere with its styling. 

The cheeky five-door hatchback 

was unorthodox, to say the least, 

with its heavy frontal styling and 

controversial bubble wrap-type 

Airbumps on the doors which 

protected the bodywork from 

damage. Nevertheless, buyers 

warmed to the Cactus, and it has 

been pretty much a success in all 

of the markets it’s been sold in. 

In New Zealand Citroen isn’t 

a big player, but if you study the 

product line-up you’ll find practical, 

affordable vehicles which are 

thoroughly appealing through 

design flair. I guess, you’d expect 

nothing less from this French car 

maker which has had a reputation 

for bold styling cues as they are a 

considerable part of the appeal. 

A new Cactus has just been 

released, and while it incorporates 

the styling elements of its predecessor, 

it is a little more orthodox 

and gone are the Airbumps which 

were a major talking point on the 

original. 

That’s a bit of a disappointment 

to me, I liked the concept, 

and anything practical on a car 

that keeps it looking fresh and 

dent-free certainly finds favour 

with me. 

Gone, too, is the predecessor’s 

diesel engine, the Cactus arrives 

here in just one specification and 

it gets a 1.2-litre turbocharged 

three-cylinder engine which is also 

used in Citroen’s C3 and Peugeot’s 

2008. I’ve experienced this engine 

before in both those cars and can 

safely say it is one of my favourite 

engines of this design, it is quiet, 

smooth, and doesn’t overly let 

the occupants know of its design 

through the harmonics often associated 

with its three-pot layout. 

The twin-camshaft petrol 

engine is listed with a 81kW 

and 205Nm rating, these are 

healthy outputs, and if you take 

into account the light weight of 

the Cactus at just 1090kg, it is 

a lively model under acceleration. 

Citroen claim a standstill to 

100km/h time of 10.9sec which 

is all the acceleration you need in 

today’s motoring environment. 

Drive is channelled through a 

conventional six-speed automatic 

transmission, together there is 

reasonable harmony and gearing 

CITROEN CACTUS: Economical three-cylinder engine. 

which manufactures that lively 

performance along with healthy 

fuel economy. 

The latter is listed by Citroen 

at 5.3-litres usage per 100km 

(53mpg) on a combined cycle 

average. The evaluation car’s dash 

display was constantly sitting 

around 6.7l/100km (42mpg). 

If you also take into consideration 

the Cactus’ weight, then it 

has benefits in all areas, the engine 

isn’t working hard to maintain 

momentum, hence the light fuel 

load, and there is a feel through 

the chassis and suspension that 

promotes a sporty sensation. 

The suspension deserves a worthy 

mention. Anyone familiar with 

Citroen product will relate to the 

hydropneumatic and air suspensions 

systems of eras gone by. 

The Cactus doesn’t get anything 

quite to sophisticated; however, it 

• Price – Citroen C4 Cactus, 

$35,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4170mm; width, 1710mm; 

height, 1480mm 

• Configuration – Threecylinder, 

front-wheeldrive, 

1199cc, 81kW, 

205Nm, six-speed 

automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 10.9sec 

• Fuel usage – 5.3l/100km 

does get what Citroen describe as 

magic carpet ride engineering. 

Put simply, what appear to be 

conventional shock absorbers 

actually incorporate two hydraulic 

stops, one for compression and 

one for decompression, they dissipate 

energy from road bumps, 

helping to create a smooth ride. 

In effect, the ride is well cushioned, 

I had an errand to run 

over the far east side of the city, 

and broken roads on that journey 

were a good test for the suspension, 

the Cactus has a controlled, 

comfortable ride. It can also 

attack corners, there is strong 

steering feel, turn-in is also direct 

and precise. 

In my introduction I mentioned 

the Cactus’ styling. It isn’t 

radical as it could be, but it is a 

departure from the norm. The 

interior is modernistic and minimalist 

in its detailing, however, 

it all works cosmetically. You can 

also mix and match with interior 

trim colours and materials. 

I particularly like the permanently 

exposed panoramic roof 

which is out-of-the-ordinary but 

also adds to the character of the 

car, it was a $1500 option, but it 

represents the ideology of Cactus. 

In terms of specification, the 

Cactus is also well appointed. You 

get all of the kit you’d expect on a 

$35k car with many of the functions 

operated by voice recognition 

technology. I guess one omission 

is the lack of tachometer. 

That aside, the Cactus 

incorporates all things practical 

in a modern, stylish package. It’s 

a compact five-seater, but also a 

funky purchase for anyone who 

dares to be different. The last 

model sold well in New Zealand, 

and I’m expecting the newcomer 

to be just as popular.

I chose ‘The Anatomy of Melancholy’ 

as the title for the trilogy because I 

feel that it best represents my work 

and the person I am. 

*Melancholy: a feeling of pensive 

sadness, typically with no obvious 

cause. 

Part I: Identity 2018 

Part II: Dissectum 2019 

Part III: Lost & Found 2020 

Dissectum means ‘deeply cut’ and 

in its original meaning refers to the 

deep cuts in foliage. For me the 

deep cuts are not just the ones we 

need to make to understand the 

workings of an organism but also 

the potential deep cuts we need to 

consider when we have to make 

big decisions (as in: ‘Murderous 

Intent’). To be deeply cut can also 

be the result of our experiences in 

life. And with deep cuts comes the 

need to heal, to find ways to put 

what is left back together again or to 

form a ‘new’. 

The exhibition is in two parts – 

the front of the gallery is ‘The 

Wunderkammer*’ where various 

objects, boxes and other curios are 

shown. 

*Wunderkammer: A cabinet of 

scientific curiosities, especially 

during the Renaissance 

In the back of the gallery I am 

exhibiting a series of, mainly 

charcoal drawings, all working with 

or referring to ‘Dissectum’, plus 

4 small bird paintings embellished 

with embroidery. 

Simon van der Sluijs is an artist 

of Dutch descent and traditional 

painting and drawing training. 

His themes are deeply personal, 

unconventional, dark, humorous and 

disturbing.

Time for Pre-winter 

Plumbing & Gas Check 

With winter coming, the 

professionals at Laser Plumbing 

Christchurch East in Ferrymead 

suggest that now is a good time to 

prepare by ensuring that your gas 

appliances are safe and in good 

working order. 

Leaks can happen over time causing 

a reduction in efficiency of the 

appliance, more gas to be used and, 

most importantly, create a danger to 

those living in the home. 

For your safety they recommend 

annual servicing and a safety 

inspection of: 

• Gas fires 

• Gas water heaters 

• Gas hobs 

• Outdoor fires and BBQ’s 

This can be done quickly and 

efficiently by Laser Plumbing’s 

qualified technicians. 

The business is owned and 

operated by Sumner locals Chris 

Dick and his wife Carol McCann. 

Chris has 40 years’ experience in 

the industry, and as he says, a small 

amount of time spent now can help 

to avoid nasty surprises later on. 

“The last thing you want are issues 

mid-winter when you need hot 

water and heating the most.” 

In fact, if you have any plumbingrelated 

concerns around your home, 

give Chris a call. He will be happy 

to offer advice and sort out the 

problem, which may very well be a 

simple job. 

WINTER ChECkLIST 

1. Gas appliance check. 

2. Drains – if you have an older 

home with ceramic pipes 

and you haven’t had a free 

drainage check yet, make sure 

you call and book this in. EQC 

are still covering the cost of 

earthquake-damaged drainage 

repairs and Laser Plumbing 

are experts at helping clients 

deal with the EQC process and 

making it all seem very easy. 

3. Gutters and downpipes – 

autumn leaves can get caught 

in guttering and downpipes, 

which can cause water leakage 

into your home. To prevent 

this from happening, they 

recommend clearing these 

out at least once a year. If you 

need help to do this, give 

them a call.
