is set to learn from some of the
best in the acting business.
The 24-year-old will pack her
bags for a 10-week prestigious
acting programme in New
York.
She leaves next week.
She was selected to take
part in a course at Stella Adler
Studio of Acting, where Robert

actor in
1975 for the
role of Vito
Robert
De Niro
Corleone in
The Godfather
Part II and
best actor for
playing Jake LaMotta in Raging
Bull in 1981.
Hay said she had mixed
emotions after finding out
she was accepted into the
course.
“I’m excited but also aware of
the challenge it is going to be,”
she said.

Peacock
dispute
escalates
after five
killed
www.apollopoweryoga.com
• By Louis Day
FIVE WILD peacocks have been
shot on a farm near Lyttelton as a
neighbourhood dispute escalates.
Brenchley Farm owner Sue
Stubenvoll said the peacocks were
killed after they wandered onto
her property. She said it was done
to stop them eating endangered
geckos and skinks on the farm.
The cull has shocked neighbour
Janelle Wills. She told Bay
Harbour News she needed more
time to relocate the peacocks
which gather at her property to
be fed.
In February, Ms Stubenvoll sent
a legal letter to Miss Wills, saying
she had the right to shoot the peacocks
under the Impounding Act.
She gave Miss Wills four weeks
notice of what would happen if
they came onto her property.
Miss Wills said the shootings
were “inhumane.”
“There is no other word for it. It
is affecting all of my family,” she
said.

YOU WOULDN’T want to be a peacock
strutting about in the hills above Lyttelton
at the moment.
That’s because if you stray onto Sue
Stubenvoll’s farm you’re likely to get
shot (see page 1). Stubenvoll has followed
through on her threat to shoot wild peacocks which stray onto
her property.
That has upset neighbour Janelle Wills, who the peacocks have
been heading to for a feed.
Stubenvoll says the peacocks are also interested in snacking on
endangered skinks and geckos she says are on her farm. And that
is the justification for getting the gun out.
Wills has been relocating the peacocks and wanted more time.
She is justifiably angry. I suspect others will be too.
And Stubenvoll’s plan to eat the peacocks? Interesting.

Support for seaplane takes off
• By Louis Day
NOT EVERYONE in Diamond
Harbour is against a plan to
fly seaplanes into Lyttelton
Harbour.
Resident Jane Davison says the
seaplanes will provide a boost to
the economy.
“I think the harbour should
be welcoming
to commercial
business
opportunity
where it can. We
don’t want to
go backwards,
Jane
Davison
Richard
Suggate
we want to go
forwards,” she said.
“I would have
thought that there
is potential to
provide locals with
job opportunities,
and if people come
to the harbour
to do a seaplane
flight, who is to
say they won’t
stop in at a bakery
and buy a doughnut or a coffee
somewhere?”
In last week’s Bay Harbour
News, Diamond Harbour
Community Association
chairman Richard Suggate said
the group made a submission to
the Civil Aviation Authority in
opposition to Rangiora-based
company Peninsula Air Ltd’s
plan to construct a waterdrome
in the harbour.
The proposed 1km long
runway would be located
between Rapaki and Quail
Island and provide seaplanes
with an area to take off and land.
Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi
SCENIC: A company’s bid to emulate the Sydney seaplane
experience in Lyttelton has received a mixed response from
residents.
It would also take people on
scenic tours of the peninsula.
“We are concerned about the
effects on other users of the
harbour, such as waka ama,
kayaks, swimmers, yachts,
motorboats, the list goes on,” Mr
Suggate said.
Peninsula Air Ltd directors
Mark Christensen and Grant
Edmundson did not return Bay
Harbour News’ phone calls.
Mrs Davison said the
association’s view does not
represent the entire community.
She said the majority of people
she has spoken to in Diamond
Harbour are in favour of the
plan.
“The community association
has about 100 members and
about 20 people turned up to
their AGM. They do some good
work but I think it is wrong
to assume that number of
membership could represent a
community of over 1000 people,”
she said.
Mr Suggate said the
association does not claim to
represent the entire community.
“There are always a range of
opinions about any subject – I
was expressing the views of the
association, not the community,”
he said.
Public submissions close at
the end of the month and can
be emailed to aerodromes@caa.

Diamond Harbour firefighter fifth up tower
• By Louis Day
FIREFIGHTERS from across the
Bay Harbour News area raced
up the Sky Tower’s 1103 steps on
Saturday to raise money for those
with leukaemia and blood cancer.
The effort was part of the 15th
annual Firefighter Sky Tower
Stair Challenge where participants
heaved 25kg of gear up 52
flights of stairs.
Diamond Harbour Volunteer
Fire Brigade member Mark
Patterson was the fastest
volunteer up the tower with a
time of 10min 6sec and was fifth
overall out of more than 1000
firefighters.
“I was pretty chuffed actually,
because I had been a bit crook
building up to it. I was pretty
nervous that I was not going to do
that well so I am really stoked to
get the time I did,” he said.
Three firefighters from the
Diamond Harbour brigade raised
$3500. In total, the Auckland
event raised $1 million.
The Lyttelton Volunteer Fire
Brigade raised $15,000 for the
cause.
Lyttelton chief Mark Buckley,
who was part of the support crew,
was immensely proud of the
effort shown from his team.
“It was really good to see, I
have got a great deal of respect for
them and their enthusiasm was
just fantastic,” he said.
Six firefighters from the Governors
Bay volunteer brigade
managed to raise $11,000.
Akaroa Volunteer Fire Brigade
member Jeroen Hartman also
raised $1768.

ROCK ON: Catherine Hay in
costume for We Will Rock You.
•From page 1
“I am feeling like I am ready
for a new challenge though, and
hoping to soak up whatever they
throw at me over there.”
Hay usually sticks to musical
theatre but is hoping to branch
out during the course.
“I am doing this acting
course and throwing myself in
the deep end without the security
of being able to hide behind a
song.”
She has participated in a
number of professional musical
productions, including a leading
role in We Will Rock You.
“It was my first kind of lead
role in a bigger company, it was
at the Isaac Theatre Royal, two
and a half weeks of shows, a
1200-seat audience, doing seven
shows a week and it was rock
music so it was very vocally
demanding and then trying to
balance a day job with that was a
challenge.”
Hay is currently balancing
her time as an organisational
psychology consultant, singing
teacher and aspiring actor.
She said she would sometimes
spend 30 to 35 hours a week in
rehearsals while balancing her
other commitments.
She is hoping the 10-week
acting course will help her transition
into acting full-time.
“My goal is to become
competitive in auditioning for
professional roles throughout
New Zealand and possibly even
going over to London for a little
bit.”
Five wild peacocks shot
•From page 1
Miss Wills said 10 peacocks
had been relocated with the help
of Serendipity Animal Rescue.
But others hadn’t been because
they would flee when trying to be
captured.
More time was needed to catch
the peacocks, she said.
Department of Conservation
senior biodiversity ranger Anita
Spencer said there were rare
geckos and skinks in the area.
“DOC hasn’t carried out any
formal surveys to confirm there
are lizards on the farm, but we
understand a herpetologist has
visited the property and identified
the lizards,” she said.
However, Ms Spencer said
chickens posed the same threat to
geckos and skinks that peacocks
did, which Ms Stubenvoll keeps
on her farm.
Ms Stubenvoll said her chickens
were not eating the geckos
and skinks.
“You can tell from the droppings
of a chicken what it has
been eating, if it has been eating
something with blood in it the
droppings go black. Guess what
the colour of the peacock droppings
are? Black! The chickens’ is
a wispy white.”
Ms Stubenvoll also told Bay
Harbour News she plans to eat
the peacocks, and more will be
culled.
“It would be an awful waste to
not eat them,” she said.
Miss Wills said she was “disgusted”
by the plan to eat the
peacocks.

Sharp perspex shards
left on toddler swing
• By Louis Day
VANDALS left a
sinister calling card at
the Diamond Harbour
Playcentre – sharp perspex
on a toddler swing.
Police said the act could
have caused injury.
“A mindless and
dangerous act that could
cause serious harm to
babies,” said Sergeant
Franco Lovrich.
Diamond Harbour
Playcentre president Anna
Blundell
found the
perspex
window
of the
boat in its

had been
kicked in
on Monday
last week, with shards
scattered all over the
ground.
She then saw someone
had placed the shards on
the swing with the sharp
edges facing upwards.
Miss Blundell cut her hand
removing the shards from
the swing.

described the act as
mindless and dangerous.
“We will certainly be
following up on this with
the view to potentially
fingerprinting items at the
scene, as well as looking
at their security measures
and providing advice to
them where necessary,”
he said. “We also ask the
public for any information
and that any suspicious
behaviour is reported to
us.”
Miss Blundell, who has
three children of her own
attending the playcentre,
was disgusted by the
incident. “It makes me
very angry that someone
would intentionally hurt
our children, the plastic
was in the baby toddler
swings that is for under
two-year-olds. It just
makes me angry that they
think it is funny to do
that,” she said.
Miss Blundell said
vandalism was something
the playcentre used to
experience quite regularly
before security cameras
were put in six months
ago.

Dancer stepping up to world stage
• By Louis Day
SAM Richardson wants
to become one of the best
dancers in the world. Now,
the 19-year-old from Mt
Pleasant has the chance to
get there.
He is one of three
performer from Team
Cozy crew, which
has qualified for the
World Hip Hop Dance
Championship in the
United States in August.
Richardson is set to
dance alongside Caleb
Gopal, 18, and Chloe
Wright, 15, in Phoenix.
They finished second in
the mini-crew category
at the Hip Hop New
Zealand Championship
in Auckland last month
and were one of just three
teams from the category
to qualify for the world
champs.
Richardson balances
full-time work as a
barber with weekly dance
practices.
“I just dance as soon as
I finish work, it’s pretty
busy, but I enjoy both of
them so it’s no stress,” he
said.
The crew will have to
showcase three styles of
hip-hop dancing at the
world champs. Richardson
feels confident ahead of
the competition.
“I think we can do
it, we have just got that
chemistry. It would mean
everything if we got it.”
The styles include
breakdancing, house and
new school swag.
The team will pay
for some of the trip
themselves, but are
looking for donations and
sponsorship.

Ranulph Fiennes – Mad, Bad and
Dangerous to Know
Ranulph Fiennes has travelled to the most dangerous and
inaccessible places on earth, almost died countless times, lost
nearly half his fingers to frostbite, raised millions of pounds for
charity and been awarded a polar medal and an OBE. He has
been an elite soldier, an athlete, a mountaineer, an explorer, a
bestselling author and nearly replaced Sean Connery as James
Bond.
In his autobiography he describes how he led expeditions all over
the world and became the first person to travel to both poles on
land. He tells of how he discovered the lost city of Ubar in Oman
and attempted to walk solo and unsupported to the North Pole - the expedition that cost him
several fingers, and very nearly his life.
His most recent challenge was scaling the north face of the Eiger, one of the most awesome
mountaineering challenges in the world. Sir Ranulph Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes OBE, 3rd
Baronet, looks back on a life lived at the very limits of human endeavour.

See you in the Piazza
By Frances Mayes
The Roman Forum, the Leaning Tower, the Piazza San Marcothese
are the sights synonymous with Italy. But such landmarks
only scratch the surface of this magical country’s offerings. In
See You in the Piazza, Frances Mayes introduces us to the Italy
only the locals know, as she and her husband, Ed, eat and drink
their way through fifteen regions - from Friuli to Sardinia. Along
the way, she seeks out the cultural and historic gems not found
in traditional guidebooks. Frances conjures the enchantment of
the backstreets, the hubbub of the markets, the dreamlike wonder
of that space between lunch and dinner when a city cracks open
to those who would wander or when a mind is drawn into the
pages of a delicious book - and discloses to us the secrets that only someone who is on
intimate terms with a place could find.

From Scratch
A Memoir of Love, Sicily, and Finding Home
By Tembi Locke
A poignant and transporting cross-cultural love story set against
the lush backdrop of the Sicilian countryside, where one woman
discovers the healing powers of food, family, and unexpected
grace in her darkest hour. It was love at first sight when Tembi
met professional chef, Saro, on a street in Florence. There was
just one problem: Saro’s traditional Sicilian family did not approve
of him marrying a black American woman, an actress no less.
However, the couple, heartbroken but undeterred, forges on. They
build a happy life in Los Angeles, with fulfilling careers, deep
friendships and the love of their lives: a baby girl they adopt at
birth. Eventually, they reconcile with Saro’s family just as he faces a formidable cancer that
will consume all their dreams. From Scratch chronicles three summers Tembi spends in
Sicily with her daughter, Zoela, as she begins to piece together a life without her husband in
his tiny hometown hamlet of farmers. Where once Tembi was estranged from Saro’s family
and his origins, now she finds solace and nourishment—literally and spiritually—at her
mother in law’s table. In the Sicilian countryside, she discovers the healing gifts of simple
fresh food, the embrace of a close knit community, and timeless traditions and wisdom that
light a path forward. All along the way she reflects on her and Saro’s incredible romance—an
indelible love story that leaps off the pages.

“LET’S GET the bugger over
there and see what can happen.”
That was the plan behind
a fundraising effort that has
gone into getting Lytteltonbased
performer Tom Trevella
to England to work under
established actor and director
Adrian Rawlins.
At the end of the month, the
long-standing Lyttelton Arts
Factory actor will fly to the town
of Beverley, near Hull, to star in
a contemporary murder mystery
play named Chippy, which will
premiere at the East Riding
Theatre.
He will be working under the
direction of Rawlins, who is best
known for his role of James Potter
in the Harry Potter films and
Arthur Kidd in the 1989 horror
film The Woman in Black.
More than $3500 was raised
at a quiz night on Saturday held
at the theatre company to help
cover Trevella’s travel costs –
including airfares, train tickets,
insurance and visas.
Trevella said it was really
“humbling” to see the Lyttelton
community turn out to support
his trip overseas and was looking
forward to being able to give
back next year.
Chippy is earmarked to be
performed in the LAF next
MURDER MYSTERY: Lyttelton Arts Factory actor Tom Trevella and Hester Ullyart will perform at
the East Riding Theatre in an original play by Joe Bennett, named Chippy. The show will come to
Lyttelton next year.
year.
“It is a chance for me to broaden
my horizon and get to work
in a different environment,”
Trevella said.
Trevella described Rawlins
as an “actor’s director” and was
most looking forward to taking
advantage of his knowledge and
experience.
“Just working with a professional,
he has been working in
the industry for so many years
He is going to have a lot to pass
on,” Trevella said.
The opportunity for Trevella
to travel overseas is born out
of the strong professional relationship
between LAF
creative director Mike Friend
and Rawlins.
The relationship between the
two theatre companies has led
to the formation of an artist

exchange programme which has

In the past four years,
the theatre companies have
collaborated on a range of
projects. It has seen English
actresses Annie Kirkman and
Hester Ullyart travel to the city
to perform in The Butler Dresses
Again at LAF.
Ullyart also returned to LAF
this year to be mentored by
Friend to direct the show of Our

The show will see Trevella
perform alongside Ullyart,
who has worked at a range of
theatre companies including
Northern Broadsides, West
Yorkshire Playhouse and
Sheffield Theatres.
Trevella said the beauty of having
worked with Ullyart before is
already having a rapport which
makes it easier because there
is only two weeks to rehearse
together.
As well as heading to England,
he has numerous projects on
the go including television pilot

He will also perform in The

Residents pleased with removal of Balmoral Hill fence
• By Louis Day
THE FENCE at the bottom
of Balmoral Hill has been
removed.
The fence, which was put there
following the February 22, 2011,
earthquake, was removed on
Tuesday after the city council
found it was no longer needed.
Over the last 18 months the
city council has been undertaking
a review and clean-up of the
fences remaining around the
city post-earthquake.
“There was a delay in removing
the fence as there was a
redundant drain that had to
be made safe. As this has happened,
and other maintenance
was undertaken
(trimming of vegetation),
the fence has been removed,’’
said city council
delivery transport and
planning manager Lynette
Ellis.
Redcliffs Residents
Association chairwoman
Christine Toner was delighted
to see the fence removed.
“It is just fantastic, we are just
absolutely thrilled about it,” she
said.
Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board member
Darrell Latham thought the
removal of the fence
would enhance the entrance
into the village.
“This is a such
stunning location
with beautiful cliffs
and coastal areas
through which
thousands of people
Christine transit daily. The

removal of the fence
and the trimming of the
vegetation is really positive
and it is another box ticked
in the return to normality for
residents on this side of town,”

$150k boost
for harbour
restoration
A PLAN to restore the condition
of Lyttelton Harbour has received
a $150,000 boost.
Whaka-Ora Healthy Harbour
partnership chairwoman Yvette
Couch-Lewis, of Ngāti Wheke,
said the funding, which comes
from the Ministry for the
Environment, will go towards
consultation with farmers and
implementing some of the
projects which come out of the
consultation.
“People who live in the harbour
basin all care deeply about the
land and the harbour. We’ll be
working with the local farmers
and landowners to re-establish
wetlands, undertake stream
plantings and take other steps
that will reduce the sediments and
contaminants that are going in
the harbour.”
The partnership consists of
Ngāti Wheke, Te Rūnanga o Ngāi
Tahu, Environment Canterbury,
the city council and Lyttelton Port
Company, with input from the
community.

Getting away for Mother’s Day
JUST IN CASE you didn’t read last
week’s column, we all got away for a
short family vacation/Mother’s Day
escape to Greymouth at the end of
last week.
Vittoria also only naps once a day
now. It’s a tough transition for me.
Whatever, don’t judge me parents of
older kids.
Pro-tip; a long car ride across the
Southern Alps can give the illusion
of a much longer nap time. As long
as they can’t ask: “Are we there yet?”
We managed to get away for
our trip a mere 40min after our
scheduled departure time.
Vittoria went straight
into her nap as we left the city,
but with a couple of stops
through the mountains
(including the wonderful Otira
Stagecoach Hotel) the total trip
took longer than it would have on
the bus.
I actually enjoyed that though, it
felt more like an old-school Kiwi
whānau getaway. We even stayed in
a holiday park and had a pub meal
on the first night.
Love it.
We managed to get in a fair
amount of sightseeing and
relaxation in a couple of days, with
Friday’s perfect weather making a
great accompaniment to the views
at Punakaiki.
I even managed to sneak in a tour
at the Monteith’s Brewery. Just me

& Matt
though, can you imagine taking a
toddler to a brewery?
For Vittoria, the best part
was quite probably the
playground at the holiday
park. Unfortunately, it started
pouring down with rain not long
after we arrived so she only got to
play on it for like five minutes on
day one.
You should have seen how
heartbroken she was when I took
her back to the room.
There were “everyone-thinks-
I’m-a-bad-parent” level crying and
screaming.
The next day, her reaction
when she saw that it was still there
and able to be played on
was awesome. She actually said
“wow.”
She’s not even talking yet but the
playground managed to coax out
what could be considered an actual
recognisable word.
Damn, that’s a good playground.
To finish off our trip we took
even longer to come home on
Saturday, adding in more stops.

Portray your love story, your way
Planning a wedding is a huge project. There is so much to do - choosing a location and
venue, invitations, the dress, music, cake, catering, the guest list, just to name a few
tasks. But top of your list should be finding the right celebrant to officiate the ceremony.
Meet Robyn O’Brien.
THESE days a majority of NZ weddings are
conducted by independent wedding celebrants.
They offer an alternative to the traditional church or
registry office ceremonies giving couples flexibility
and choice for their service.
Robyn is a locally based NZ registered Marriage
Celebrant and she’d love to help you organise your
special day.
“The most important day in your life is the time
where, in front of family and friends, you declare your
love to each other for the rest of your life,” said Robyn.
I’m 100% committed to guiding you through
the entire ceremony process, organising the legal
requirements, rehearsing and conducting the
ceremony ensuring that your special day runs
perfectly. It’s so important that your ceremony
tells your love story, reflects your personalities and
includes your ideas.
Whether you’re planning something traditional,
casual, themed or a little bit different, I can work
with you to achieve your ultimate ceremony with
the least amount of stress. You may want to include
readings, poems, family traditions, children, even
animals - nothing is impossible! I’m confident at
public speaking and I love weddings. Having attended
a ceremony writing course I know how important it is
to portray your love story your way.
As well as officiating your occasion, Robyn can
provide her own PA system and is also a calligraphist,
so is able to offer a calligraphy service for invitations
and place name tags.
Ceremonies are not limited to marriages. Robyn
also performs name giving, renewal of vows,
anniversaries, blessings, commemorations, pets and
animals, and elopements.
Here’s what happy couple Rebecca & Louis said:
Thank you Robyn for helping us create a beautiful
wedding ceremony that was special and unique for us
as a couple. We really appreciate the work you put in to
make the ceremony run smoothly, particularly since our
vows were multilingual. With your help. we could enjoy
a wedding ceremony which was truly our own, and
one in which we could honour our respective cultural
background.
To ensure you find the right celebrant, Robyn offers
a no obligation first meeting so you can decide if she
is the right celebrant for you.

mitre 10 mega ferrymead
lend a helping hand
On tuesday 7th of May, the Mitre10 Mega Ferrymead team lent a
helping hand to the Mt Pleasant community centre.
After our original date was postponed due to poor
weather, opening the curtains a week later to see
a drizzly overcast day wasn’t all that appealing for
the Mitre10 Mega Ferrymead Helping Hands team.
However, with forecasts clearing the decision was made
to chuck on the ‘wet weathers’ and get stuck into a bit
of DIY for the local Mount Pleasant Community Centre.
Three key projects were on the menu for the day. The
first was building five raised Macrocarpa garden beds
on the empty lawn beside the community centre.
Varying in sizes, the team quickly notched together a
smorgasbord of healthy beds the
local community can now grow,
share and enjoy seasoned vegetables
all year round.
The second project included clearing,
levelling and paving a run-down BBQ
pit. Deciding on a paving pattern
was a hot debate between teams but
after drawing straws a design was finally agreed upon.
A big thank you to the team at Firth Industries, who
provided all the pavers for the job.
Although it wasn’t needed on the day our last task
included erecting a shade sail to complete the BBQ
space. The team at Mitre 10 Mega Ferrymead were
proud of their efforts on the day and wish to thank
the friendly locals who gave up their time to get these
projects over the line. We trust the Mount Pleasant
Community will enjoy their new and improved outdoor
space.

One of our projects was to build raised garden beds in varying sizes for the local community to grow, share and enjoy.
a message from
the community centre...
"The Mt Pleasant Memorial Community Gardens will
provide a place for locals to meet and share their
gardening expertise. It will also be used by the children
at Bays Kidsfirst to learn about gardening, " said the
project convenor, Jocelyn Papprill. "The memorial" in
the name refers to both the fact that the original hall
was a war memorial, and the present hall is a memorial
to the 2011 earthquakes.

TIDY KIWI: Ferrymead Rotary Club member Ingrid Robertson
transports rubbish to the pick-up point during the Mother of All
Clean Ups.
THE REMOVAL of remnant
piles at Naval Point has been
delayed.
The 52 concrete piles –
originally from the planned
Magazine Bay marina, which
was devastated by a storm in
2000 – were set to be removed
during April but will now
be removed at the end of the
month.
The delay comes after
equipment required for the
removal project was needed on
the West Coast to help with the
clean-up following the flooding
in March.
The work will now begin in
the final week of this month and
is expected to take four weeks,
depending on sea and weather
conditions.
City council head of parks
Andrew Rutledge said it was
important for the equipment to
have been diverted to help on
the West Coast.
“Although this has caused a
small delay, we are happy the
pile removal will start at the end
of the month, improving the
safety of the popular recreational
spot for the different people and
groups that use the bay for water
activities.”
The piles will become part of
the Lyttelton Port Company’s
reclamation work, saving on
disposal costs.
A wider piece of work is being
carried out by the city council to
develop Naval Point, which will
involve public consultation later
this year.

Cleaning up our rivers
and cooking meals
Ferrymead
Rotary Club
member
Barbara Crooks
writes about
how the charity
has been giving
back to the
community
FERRYMEAD Rotarians have
been hands-on in the community
over the past few weeks.
They got their hands dirty
clearing rubbish from the
McCormacks Bay causeway,
then made sure those hands were
clean as they scrubbed up a few
days later to cook an evening
meal at Ronald McDonald
House.
Tanya Jenkins, a Ferrymead
Rotary member and Mother
of All Clean Ups co-ordinator,
identified some encouraging
trends. There were more helpers
than last year, and there was
less rubbish. Even so, the 835
volunteers from 42 groups
gathered 3.6 tonnes (588 bags)
and 61 car tyres.
This was the clean-up’s seventh
year. It encompassed the Avon
and Heathcote rivers, as well
as the estuary. It was organised
by the Avon-Heathcote Estuary
Ihutai Trust, the Avon River
and Heathcote River networks,
with City Care collecting and
disposing of the bags.
A few days later, Ferrymead
Rotarians cooked dinner for
out-of-town families staying at
Ronald McDonald House while
their children receive treatment
at Christchurch Hospital. The
facility caters for children
under-21 who have to come
to Christchurch for long-term
treatment.
Ferrymead Rotary has joined a
growing number of organisations
and businesses on the cooking
roster. There is no upper or lower
limit – some do it once a year,
others much more regularly.
This was Ferrymead’s second
time, and the crew kept it simple
Fire rages, homes at risk
– chicken legs, roast vegetables,
coleslaw and apple pie for 45 or
so. It might not have been cordon
bleu, but it got a big tick from
one Nelson 12-year-old: “That
was a lot better than the hospital
meals,” she said.
The families – some of whom
have to stay in Christchurch for
months because the children
need care not available in their
home towns – were unanimous
in their appreciation of the
difference it makes not having
to organise and cook after a long
day at the hospital.
And it was a salutary
experience for the ‘chefs’ as they
sat down to share their meal with
youngsters and parents. They felt
they had done something that
was very worthwhile and much
appreciated, and they learnt a lot
from hearing the families’ stories.

Sumner’s club day comeback
SPORT
• By Gordon Findlater
CLUB DAY was celebrated
in style at St Leonards Square
when Sumner’s premier side
overturned a 17-point deficit
to beat Sydenham 28-22 on
Saturday.
Sumner found themselves
in a tricky situation after just
20min. A try
to winger
Charles
Oswald was
all the they
had on the
board while
Sydenham
ran rampant
to take a 5-22
Martin
Dodgson
lead.
“We got
ourselves into
a hole playing some horrible
rugby. It was reminiscent of
the first five rounds . . . we were
absolutely gone,” said coach
Martin Dodgson.
However, Sumner didn’t
replicate the trend that saw them
start the season with five straight
losses. A try to Mathew Tuala
and a penalty try following a
high shot on Oswald before the
end of the half saw them turn the
tide to trail 21-22 at the break.
“It shows how far the team
has come, especially the leaders.
The leaders were really calm and
came up with some really clear
solutions and then the boys went
to work,” Dodgson said.
As the home crowd came
alive, Sumner dominated the
second half. Their set piece and
defence came to the fore, which
resulted in Sydenham being kept
scoreless – the first time Sumner
hadn’t conceded points in a half
this year. A converted try from
halfback Hayden O’Donnell
proved to be the difference.
“That second half was really
reminiscent of the second half
against Lincoln University. We
forced them into a lot of errors,
which caused a lot of set piece
which we were dominating,” said
Dodgson.
The win was Sumner’s third
on the trot following results
against Lincoln University and
Canterbury University. They
still have a mathematical chance
of sneaking into the top six for
the second half of the season.
However, they will need other
results to go their way in the final
three rounds of the competition’s
Bays fight to achieve their SFL goal
FERRYMEAD Bays are entering
do or die territory in their bid to
qualify for the Southern Football
League.
Bays are two points off a spot
in the Mainland Premier League
top five after a 0-2 away loss to
Nelson Suburbs at the weekend.
The top five teams at the
conclusion of the MPL will
qualify for this year’s SFL.
With five rounds remaining
in the MPL, Saturday’s match
against Western AFC at
Ferrymead Park will be crucial
in their bid to make the cut for
the SFL.
When Bays and Western met
on April 6, Western took the
honours 1-2 at Walter Park.
Over the weekend, keeper
Adam Highfield ensured Bays
went into the break 0-0 in
Nelson. He did well to shut out
Nelson Suburbs in the second
half. However, with just 13min to
play, Nelson Suburbs broke the
deadlock through Ben Wright.
Six minutes later Cameron
Gordon found the back of the net
from a Ryan Stewart corner to
double the lead.
Bays will also play in the
second round of the Chatham
Cup after a 2-1 win over Halswell
United.
They will meet FC Twenty 11
on Queen’s Birthday for a place
in the next round.
SUCCESS: (Clockwise) – Halfback Hayden O’Donnell scored
Sumner’s match-winning try against Sydenham. Harry Hawkes
and Liam Taylor picked up awards after the Sumner Kingfish’s
70-30 win over Halswell-Wigram on club day. The Sumner
Sharks started club day early with a 32-5 win at Christchurch
Park on Friday night.
first phase. Other club day
results saw the Sumner Sharks
start their celebration early in the
classics division with a 32-5 win
over the Christchurch Canardly
Heroes at Christchurch Park
on Friday night. Meanwhile,
Sumner’s reserve side went down
5-63 to Sydenham’s reserves at St
Leonards Square.
Sumner and Suburbs’
combined under-16 girls team
also played at St Leonards
on Saturday, going down to
Prebbleton 22-50.
But it was a club day to
remember for Sumner’s junior
teams. Their 12 junior sides
all played at McCormacks Bay
and enjoyed huge success. The
only loss of the day came in
an all-Sumner affair, meaning
all opposition sides were left
winless.
On Saturday, Sumner’s
premier side will face Burnside,
which are in ninth spot, tied
with Sumner on 17 points. The
match at Burnside Park kicks off
at 2.45pm.
Metro premier standings:
Christchurch 33pts, 1; Lincoln
University 33pts, 2; Marist

Lexus UX – gateway into the luxury brand
Motoring
Ross Kiddie
I NEVER would have picked the
change of direction that Lexus has
travelled in the last few years.
The company came onto the
global market in 1989 with a
large sedan and since then sport
sedans, coupes and convertibles,
along with a luxury four-wheeldrive
vehicle, have accounted for
a large part of its sales.
However, in recent times, to
capitalise on the global demand
for sport utility vehicles, Lexus
has changed direction slightly,
there are a large number of SUVs
in the company’s line-up, and it is
ever-increasing.
Just recently, a compact SUV
has been launched by Lexus.
Badged simply UX, it sits beneath
the small-to-medium NX and
RX. If you think of Toyota RAV4
size, then the UX is about that
stature, however, it gets a heap of
upmarket kit that clearly has it
sitting in the luxury car category.
The UX lands here in force,
there are seven front-wheel-drive
and all-wheel-drive variants, all
are 2-litre powered, yet there is
the option of hybrid technology.
From what I’m picking up from
Lexus New Zealand and at local
dealer level, the hybrid is the
car to beat and it is the subject
of this evaluation , an F-Sport
Limited to be exact. It sits at
$72,900.
Incidentally, the UX hits the
showroom floors at $59,900 for
a 2-litre petrol, while a rangetopping
4WD Limited hybrid sits
at $75,900.
I’ve driven a lot of hybrids out
of the Lexus and Toyota stables
recently, and I agree, the UX in
hybrid form takes a lot of beating.
For one the hybrid system has
become what I would call normal.
Whereas once hybrids took a little
understanding and a technique
to drive them effectively, that
has all changed. Today’s hybrid
works much like any other petrolpowered
car, it feels just so right,
and in Lexus form the refinement
within the driveline mechanicals
makes it hard to detect any
transfer of power between electric
delivery and when the petrol
engine kicks in.
Of course, there are many
other benefits other than the
sophistication, the UX hybrid is
rated with a 4.5-litre per 100km
(63mpg) combined cycle fuel
usage rating. That claim sits
well with the readout on the
evaluation car, it was showing
around 7l/100km (40mpg) when
I took it back to the dealership.
The UX is also quick, that’s the
LEXUS UX F-SPORT: Two-litre engine with or without hybrid
option.
benefit of electric delivery. It will
scamper to 100km/h in 8.6sec,
and will complete an overtake
manoeuvre in 5sec. The latter
is attributed to the solid midrange
delivery between electric
and petrol, the UX has dynamic
performance, Lexus claiming
power outputs of 135kW and
188Nm.
Not only is the UX a spirited
drive, it also handles with aplomb.
I guess it doesn’t wear a F-Sport
badge for nothing, the UX has
accurate corner turn-in and
definite steering feel.
This is something Lexus does
so well, the steering is involving
and communicative. Riding on
beautiful Bridgestone Turanza
tyres (225/50 x 18in), there is a lot
of rubber in contact with the road
and it shows, grip levels are high
even without the four-wheeldrive
option.
There is little sensation power
is coming out the front wheels
only, the UX is balanced and
controlled and, of course, you
get an amazingly compliant ride,
traditional with all Lexus models.
That luxury feel doesn’t end
there, the cockpit and cabin area
is plush, the way Lexus create
interiors is a real credit. The test
car was trimmed with white
leather, yet there are contrasting
elements which work effectively
to tone down the overpowering
effect of light.
There are also the ingredients
which luxury car owners would
expect even from an SUV. The
UX is chock full of the latest
technology for safety, comfort
and convenience, and its styling
and design inside and out is eyecatching
and desirable. All of the
ingredients are in place to make
the UX very much a part of the
• Price – Lexus UX 250h
F-Sport, $72,900
• Dimensions – Length,
4495mm; width, 1840mm;
height, 1520mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
front-wheel-drive,
1987cc, 135kW, 188Nm,
continuously variable
automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 8.4sec
• Fuel usage – 4.5l/100km
Lexus family.
Lexus claim the UX is the
gateway model into the brand. I
guess that’s a good call, however,
the company will have to market
that hard, Toyota have just
launched an amazing new RAV4,
and some models have similar
drivelines to the UX. While it’s nice
to step up into Lexus luxury, some
buyers may well be happy with the
cheaper option.
Wherever the UX goes in
terms of sales, it is just part of
a spectacular range of Lexus
models.
Personally, I’d still be sticking
to one of the sport sedans or
coupes from the stable, but for
those who do need or want an
SUV, the UX will certainly be
a purchase which will keep the
buyer happy for many years, and
it will definitely put a smile on
their face every time they see
the savings hybrids offer when it
comes to fill-up time at the local
service station.

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

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