Big honour for sports broadcaster 

Speed 

limits in 

Sumner 

under 

scrutiny 

• By Louis Day 

HEATHCOTE’S Grant Windsor 

has been recognised in the 

Queen’s Birthday Honours for 

his contribution to sport and 

broadcasting. 

Mr Windsor was made a 

Member of the New Zealand 

Order of Merit. 

In 1978, he was a part-time 

sports reporter at Radio New 

Zealand, and he used those skills 

in a wide range of voluntary 

community broadcasting roles.

• By Louis Day 

SUMNER SPEED limits could be 

set for a complete overhaul. 

The city council is proposing 

various changes to the speed 

limits across Sumner. 

Public consultation for the plan 

will open on June 17. 

The plan proposes the speed 

limit be reduced in the wider 

Sumner residential area from 

50km/h to 40km/h as well 

as a drop to 30km/h at the 

entrance to Sumner, through 

the township and along the 

Esplanade. 

Heathcote Ward city councillor 

Sara Templeton saw the change as 

necessary. 

“I know that many people have 

concerns about the large trucks 

going back through the town on 

their way to Lyttelton so I think it 

will be well supported. There have 

also been some issues with boy 

racers in the area,” she said.

THAT’S A well deserved accolade for Grant 

Windsor on page 1 today. 

The Heathcote resident has been around 

the sporting scene for decades, particularly 

as a reporter and broadcaster on radio. 

I remember as a young sports reporter 

(print) bumping into Grant around the traps and he would 

always have a big smile and laugh. And he was a knowledgeable 

bloke too, of course. 

He now volunteers at Radio Lollipop, a station for children in 

hospital, and has also worked with disabled children and at rest 

homes. 

So well done Grant for being made a Member of the New 

Zealand Order of Merit in the Queen’s Birthday Honours for 

your contribution to sport and broadcasting. 

An all round top bloke, you might say.

Funding boost for life savers 

Taylors Mistake 

to get five 

new rescue 

surf skis 

TAYLORS MISTAKE Surf 

Life Saving Club will be able 

to buy five new rescue surf skis 

following a grant from the New 

Zealand Community Trust. 

Club administrator Adrian 

Mouldey said the club was 

overwhelmed by the $15,936 

grant. 

“It is a great confidence 

booster. It signals to us that 

organisations such as NZCT 

believe in the benefits surf 

lifesaving clubs like ours provide 

to the community in keeping 

the beach safe over summer,” he 

said. 

Taylors Mistake and the 

nearby bays are popular in the 

warmer months. On a hot day, 

over 2000 people can be at the 

beach at Taylors Mistake with 

up to 20 lifeguards from the club 

being present. 

A normal patrol would see 10 

to 12 lifeguards present. 

In the past year, the club 

has had 95 active lifeguards 

volunteering over 1800 hours. In 

this time, 12 rescues have been 

made and 15 first aid treatments 

given. 

“Our volunteer lifeguards 

undergo extensive training in

rescue and recovery procedures 

that usually require various 

forms of equipment to assist 

them.” 

“The equipment used includes 

rescue surf skis, rescue boards 

and inflatable rescue boats. It 

is this equipment that the club 

needs funding for. Each piece of 

equipment has a limited lifespan 

and in the case of rescue surf skis 

this is usually five to six years.”

CAR LEAVES SUMMIT RD 

Two people were rescued after the

a bank on Thursday morning. 

Governors Bay Volunteer Fire 

Brigade chief Andrew Norris said 

the two occupants “were lucky

difficult job,” it only took 

firefighters two minutes to put the 

fire out. Mr Wright said the cause 

of the fire remains unclear.

Cr Templeton thought a 

reduction in the speed limit

Piaka was designed by

Over the past month

A PLAN TO cover every aspect of 

the city’s water over the next 100 

years is in the pipeline. 

An integrated strategy to 

manage the water supply, as well 

as wastewater, stormwater, surface 

water, groundwater and flood 

management for the next century 

is being developed by the city 

council. 

Water accounts for 25 per cent 

of the city council’s projected 

spend over the next 10 years with 

$10 billion budgeted for it in the 

Long Term Plan. 

“The strategy is a high-level, 

overarching strategy, developed 

to consider water resources 

and water services, values and 

demands, and set a framework 

to help the council to manage 

them in an integrated way for at 

least the next 100 years,” said city 

council water supply programme 

manager Helen Beaumont. 

The point of the plan is to 

address 11 “key strategic 

issues” relating to water: 

•Different perceptions of the 

value of the water. 

•Poor state of some 

waterways. 

•Vulnerability of 

Christchurch’s groundwater 

source to contamination. 

DO IT ONCE - DO IT RIGHT 

•Retaining Walls 

•Drain-laying 

•Driveways 

•Trenching 

•Wastewater overflows and 

effects on surface water. 

•Treated wastewater 

discharges into Akaroa 

Harbour. 

•Stormwater discharges and 

the effects on surface water. 

•Flooding and flood 

management. 

•Responding/ 

adapting to the 

anticipated effects of 

sea level rise on water 

resources and related 

infrastructure. 

•Long-term 

availability of water for 

water supply. 

•Long-term 

sustainable 

wastewater treatment 

and disposal. 

•Infrastructure efficiency and 

resilience. 

The plan will include short, 

medium and long-term goals, 

such as achieving a high standard 

of surface and groundwater 

quality, increasing awareness 

within the community and 

adapting to climate change. 

“The review of the strategies 

began back in 2015 and external 

costs to date total $302,350,

development of a working draft 

strategy, and external stakeholder

reviews,” Ms Beaumont said. 

Staff costs are in addition and 

come out of existing budgets for 

policy development. 

Aotearoa Water Action Group 

spokesman Peter Richardson said 

it was a great move by the city 

council. 

“I think it sounds 

absolutely fantastic. Our 

councillors have shown 

such leadership in the 

water space,” he said. 

City councillor Yani 

Johanson said it was an 

important process for 

the whole community to 

engage in. 

“Water is such a 

fundamental thing for our 

community and particularly with 

all that we’ve been through.” 

However, he is worried that the 

process is being rushed. 

“I think this is really an 

important document for us as a 

city. It’s really important 

we spend as much time as 

required to really embrace the 

ideas from across our city to make 

sure we get something people buy 

into.” 

Public consultation on the 

strategy is expected to take 

place next month after the draft 

is approved by a city council 

working group. 

Our success is built on obtaining respect 

and repeat business for our honesty, 

skills and innovation.

Your Local Views 

Readers respond to last 

week’s Bay Harbour News’ 

article about a liquor store 

planned for Redcliffs 

Donald and Jan Simpson – 

We wish to express very strong 

opposition to the proposed liquor 

outlet on Main Rd, Redcliffs 

Village. 

We do not need any more 

liquor outlets in our area, bearing 

in mind there are already more 

than enough between Ferrymead 

and Sumner and we have a New 

World supermarket offering good 

quality wines and beers already. 

There is already an unwanted 

and unpleasant problem in nearby 

Beachville Reserve with drinking 

and disorderly behaviour. We do 

not need tobacco items or RTDs 

sold there either. 

Already there are too many, 

with too easy access and the 

granting of far too many new 

licences. This is helping to 

increase the appalling statistics 

we have in New Zealand with too 

much alcohol being consumed, 

and the related problems of 

alcoholism, family violence, 

youth drinking, drink driving 

and health-related illnesses. 

The financial cost of the 

problems relating to the drinking 

and supply of alcohol and 

cigarettes and the human cost is 

eye-watering and we are at a loss 

to understand why the granting 

of yet another, and unwanted 

licence in our area, is even being 

considered. 

Paddy Brocherie – Let’s 

stop this now. We do not want 

this in our Redcliffs Village. 

Thank you for the opportunity 

to have my say on the proposed 

wine store. I say “no”. 

Anna Majendie – Not sure 

why Dr Fox mentioned the terror 

attacks . . . had nothing to do 

with alcohol. As far as I’m aware, 

the whole of Christchurch was 

affected. 

Robyn Pearson – Living 

within the required 1km 

radius of this proposed liquor 

application I put in a written 

submission as required back 

in January then attended the 

hearing. 

I felt obliged to do this as Jo 

Bloggs average Redcliffs resident 

representing the many in my 

street who literally couldn’t go 

through the requirements to 

make opposing submissions. 

However, even in my street, 

and I’ve spoken to most, no 

one had any enthusiasm for this 

application – sensing a liquor 

store could change what we 

have – many of whom had made 

a deliberate choice to live on the 

flat, close to amenities to enjoy 

the peace, quiet and safety that 

Redcliffs offers. 

It is a family and elderlyfriendly, 

safe, quaint little 

village with all essential 

amenities established, including 

a fully stocked New World 

supermarket with well stocked 

and monitored wine and beer 

products. 

Those who did manage to 

negotiate the hoops and hurdles 

of the process itself and attended 

the two-da hearing found it 

heavily weighted against the 

community for a number of 

reasons but mainly because 

the agencies – police, medical 

officer of health and city 

council licensing inspector 

‘have no issue’ with this planned 

liquor outlet. 

Therefore, the whole procedure 

is expensive in time and 

resources. Basically, it’s a lot of 

rubber-stamping although the 

tribunal is yet to make its final 

decision. 

This is astonishing given 

alcohol-related harm is not only 

acknowledged by the Liquor 

Licensing Act 2012, but plenty 

of research shows when a liquor 

outlet opens, crime increases and 

violent crime is up to 50 per cent. 

It states harm from sale, 

purchase and consumption must 

be minimised. 

Also good order and amenity 

maintained. The greater 

the availability and visibility - 

the greater the alcohol-related 

harm. 

QUICKER, SAFER 

TSUNAMI 

EVACUATIONS 

Those who live or work in Sumner are warmly 

invited to attend a workshop to contribute their local 

knowledge of the area, to help improve tsunami 

evacuation planning for Sumner.

for tsunami preparedness.

fragile coastline, is now 

under construction. 

Redcliffs Village is the 

only group of shops the 

pathway passes through. 

This proposed site is the 

only store on the Coastal 

Pathway. The city council’s 

pathway plans illustrate 

this corner as a cafe. 

Or else put in a bike shop 

catering for bikes, scooters 

trikes and e-bikes. 

We are a healthy fitnessconscious 

community 

and passionately love our 

tranquil and beautiful 

environments, such as 

Beachville Reserve (70m 

away from the proposed 

site). 

Trends show local 

parks and reserves 

become youth drinking 

lounges with increased 

noise, litter, petty crime 

and vandalism. 

A liquor outlet store just 

does not suit the village or 

its environment – it has 

the ability to change its 

character. 

There are schools, 

reserves, parks and three 

red zones all within a 

1km radius – all attractive 

for unsupervised night 

drinkers. 

There are 39 licenced 

liquor outlets between 

the CBD and Sumner. 

Redcliffs residents are, in 

general, a highly mobile 

demographic, but there are 

also many elderly people 

living alone and vulnerable 

youth. The proposed 

site also has dozens of 

residential homes close by. 

This is a proposal to 

sell addictive products 

for private profit at the cost 

of the community.

LAURA’S recovery is going 

well, however, now she has 

a nasty cold so family-funtime 

continues, with added 

sniffling and groaning. 

Before the dreaded 

lurgy took hold here Laura 

had some time out with 

a friend and fellow mum 

while I took Vittoria to the 

movies. Alone. 

We have taken her to the 

movies before, but when 

she was a proper wee baby. 

With her being a full-on 

toddler, I was worried 

about how it would go. 

The session I picked had 

a lot going in my favour. It 

was a special screening for 

parents with small kids and 

we were watching Pokemon 

Detective Pikachu. 

Bright colours, fun characters. 

Attention-grabbing, 

with a healthy amount of 

adult humour and nostalgic 

value for a former 

Pokemon Red aficionado. 

In theory, good for both 

of us. 

We managed to get there 

the perfect amount of late 

to watch only the better 

trailers. 

The start time also 

lined up with Vittoria’s 

lunchtime, which was 

great as she is food obsessed. 

It will give you angelic 

behaviour and blissful 

silence for as long as the 

food lasts. 

Vittoria happily sat, had 

her lunch and was watching 

so cheerfully that I 

started mentally planning 

regular daddy/daughter 

movie dates. 

That lasted until the dialogue 

turned to some fairly 

key story points. At that 

moment Vittoria got up, 

jumped off her back row 

seat and climbed through 

the seat in front. 

Now I’m trying to give 

Vittoria as much freedom 

to explore as possible but 

I’m lucky the theatre was 

pretty empty as she just 

booked it down the line of 

seats, ran down the stairs 

and explored. 

With offers of popcorn 

and other snacks, I 

managed to limit her laps 

around the theatre to the 

manageable and enjoy the 

whole film. 

It wasn’t until the 

climactic final battle scene 

that she turned it up to “oh 

no”. 

She went down the stairs, 

smiled at a family to gain 

their trust then snuck 

down the row behind their 

seats and pinched their entire 

popcorn box through 

the seat. 

I retrieved it and gave it 

back to the family – who 

VITTORIA 

& Matt 

FUN-TIME: This level of concentration lasted about 

30sec into the movie. 

were very understanding, 

they had children too and 

I imagine most parents 

have been through snackthievery. 

All in all, an excellent 

outing. Ten out of ten, 

would do again. 

For those of you on 

social media, check out 

the Instagram page I just 

started for the column – 

Vittoria & Matt. I’ll do my 

best to share photos and 

videos as often as possible.

BRAVO: The Sumner Theatre Group following last year’s sell-out production. 

Musicians wanted to 

perform with theatre group 

THE SUMNER Theatre 

Group is on the hunt for 

a band to accompany it in 

this year’s production. 

The theatre group produces 

a yearly show to help 

local community groups 

raise money. 

“We’re a fun lot, and are 

in need of a band to work 

with us this year,” said 

secretary Jesse Rogers. 

“Our show always has 

a range of cover songs to 

perform which are sung by 

the cast, but after the show, 

the floor is yours and year 

after year the audience get 

their dancing shoes on to 

join in.” 

“Ideally we’d like an 

established band that is 

willing to work with us to 

adapt songs to fit the show. 

Keyboard, guitar, bass and 

drums and whatever else 

you like.” 

Rehearsals will begin in 

mid-June and happen every 

Monday night. 

Shows will begin in 

August and be held every 

Friday and Saturday night.

something you’re interested

Personnel changes at Sumner 

• By Gordon Findlater 

SUMNER ARE set to get a 

welcome boost following their 

3-29 loss to New Brighton in the 

battle of the beaches on Saturday. 

With star centre Alistair 

Crossdale – who missed the 

match against New Brighton due 

to a groin injury – returning to 

the United Kingdom this week, 

Sumner are 

preparing 

to welcome 

fellow 

Englishman 

James Elliot 

for the 

remainder of 

the season. 

Elliot, a 

Martin 

Dodgson 

half back, 

was part of 

the Newcastle 

Falcons junior 

academy before playing for Leeds 

Beckett University. 

In 2017, he linked back up 

with the Falcons and was part 

of their squad last year before 

missing out on a new contract 

with the club, which has created 

an opportunity for him to ply his 

trade in Sumner. 

A familiar face will also return 

this week with Wesley Mauafu 

coming back after study and 

work commitments in Auckland. 

Mauafu played a key role in 

Sumner’s No 12 jersey before he 

moved north. 

Sumner coach Martin 

Dodgson is looking forward 

CHANGE: James Elliot (left) will arrive in Sumner this week after two seasons at the Newcastle 

Falcons academy in England, while Wesley Mauafu is set to turn out for Sumner after returning 

from Auckland. 

to having Mauafu back at his 

disposal. However, it will be 

bittersweet with Crossdale 

departing as Dodgson believes 

the pair could have been a killer 

combination in the midfield. 

“If you have (Mauafu) at 12 

and Ali [Crossdale] at 13 . . . 

far out, that’s an NPC quality 

midfield right there,” said 

Dodgson. 

Following the loss to New 

Brighton, Sumner are 10th in the 

premier metro competition with 

no chance of qualifying for the 

top six. 

On Saturday, they will go up 

against High School Old Boys, 

which will be Sumner’s final 

game in the first phase of the 

competition before they turn 

their attention to restarting in 

the bottom six the following 

weekend. 

The loss to New Brighton 

also saw Sumner surrender the 

Falton Shield, which is played 

for between the two rival seaside 

clubs. 

The match was played in heavy 

rain and wind at St Leonards 

Square, meaning metres were 

hard to gain with the ball in 

hand. 

After trailing 3-10 at halftime, 

Sumner conceded an intercept 

try and two more tries from 

rolling mauls. 

“The lineout throw was a 

lottery, rucks were a lottery, ball 

carrying was a lottery, kicking 

was a lottery, just because of the 

wind, the rain and the field,” said 

Dodgson. “It was always going to 

come down to things you could 

control like discipline and our 

discipline really let us down. We 

gave away some soft penalties 

for offside and with the wind 

they were reeling off 40m or 50m 

kicks for touch.” 

•Sumner’s match against 

HSOB kicks off at 2.45pm on 

Saturday at St Leonards Square. 

SPORT 

Win would help 

Bays secure 

spot in the SFL 

FERRYMEAD BAYS’ hopes of 

securing a spot in the Southern 

Football League will get a 

massive boost if they can defeat 

Nomads United on Saturday. 

Bays are currently sixth in the 

Mainland Premier League – one 

point behind Nomads. The top 

five teams in the MPL will qualify 

for the SFL. With just two 

rounds remaining in the MPL, 

Bays will need at least one win 

to have a chance of securing a 

SFL spot. They play defending 

MPL champions and current 

leaders Cashmere Technical in 

their final match. 

Bays had a busy Queen’s 

Birthday weekend. On Saturday, 

they drew 0-0 with Coastal 

Spirit at English Park in the 

MPL. Bays’ best chance came 

from a Nathan Townsend free 

kick, which just sailed over the 

crossbar. 

On Monday, Bays advanced to 

the third round of the Chatham 

Cup by defeating FC Twenty 

11 4-0 at Avonhead Park. 

Townsend netted a hat-trick, 

while stalwart defender Chris 

Murphy also found the back of 

the net. Bays will find out their 

opposition for the opposition 

for the next round when the 

draw is made this afternoon.

Sumner runners take titles at marathon 

SPORT 

CHAMPION: Nathan Jones won the men’s 40-49 age group 

in the half-marathon. 

SUMNER RUNNING Club 

members braved Sunday’s wet, 

windy and chilly conditions to 

compete in the Christchurch

The highlight of the event for 

the Sumner runners came in 

the form of two age group titles 

going to Nathan Jones and Robyn 

Perkins. 

Jones won the men’s 40-49 

group in the half-marathon in a 

time of 1hr 14min 30sec. His time

13sec. 

There was also a podium finish 

for Lisa Brignull who was second 

in the women’s 40-49 group with 

a time of 3hr 4min 31sec. 

Her effort was also good 

enough to see her finish 11th 

overall in the marathon open 

women’s category. 

In other results, Blair 

McWhirter finished eighth 

overall in the marathon in a time 

of 2hr 36min 32sec. Meanwhile, 

Shaun McWhirter finished 21st 

overall and 15th in the men’s 

20-29 category in a time of 2hr 

47min 40sec. 

Rosie Hay finished 15th in 

the women’s 20-29 age group in 

the marathon in a time of 3hr 

23min 16sec. Her time was also 

good enough for 21st in the open 

women’s category. 

In the half-marathon, Evan 

YOUNG GUN: Hero Barrettello finished fourth in the seveneight 

age group in the 2km kids event on Sunday. (Below) Lisa 

Brignull finished second in the women’s 40-49 age group in the

GREAT READS INSTORE NOW 

A Biker’s Life 

Misadventure on (and off) two wheels 

By Henry Cole 

A BIKER’S LIFE is the dramatic, humorous and candid memoir of 

one of the most recognisable names in motorcycling. 

Henry Cole’s passion for motorbikes began when, at the age of 

eight, he was first introduced to a ‘man cave’. His great-uncle 

Redbeard’s corrugated iron shed was ‘stuffed to the gills with old 

motorbikes’ which Henry helped rebuild and ride. Since then, 

Henry’s life can be charted through the bikes and journeys he has 

been on - from a stifling public-school education, via many years 

battling addiction, to the big-sky iconic routes Henry has ridden 

for over twenty series as presenter of numerous TV shows. 

This book reminds millions of motorcyclists why their bike gives them the freedom to be 

exactly who they want to be: to say ‘I’m doing my thing.’ When you ride a motorbike you 

become part of a worldwide community of kindred spirits - those of us who will not be 

pacified by driving a car, but instead live for adventure and the sheer thrill of the throttle. 

Repurposed 

New Zealand Homes Using Upcycled Materials 

and Spaces 

By Catherine Foster 

New ways to use old materials, spaces and buildings, by the 

author of Small House Living. 

An on-trend home design book, featuring an inspiring array 

of homes that have made good use of recycled and upcycled 

materials, structures, spaces and furnishings. Included in the 

mix are industrial and farm buildings that have been converted 

for living and furnished appropriately with vintage and repurposed industrial fittings. 

The book features 20 homes located throughout the country that feature a variety of clever 

solutions and design styles. There is everything from repurposed container homes to army 

barracks, farm utility buildings, churches and urban spaces finished with upcycled and 

repurposed furnishings. 

Tim Cook 

The Genius Leading Apple into a New era of 

Success 

By Leander Kahney 

In 2011, Tim Cook took on an impossible task - following in the 

footsteps of one of history’s greatest business visionaries, Steve 

Jobs. Facing worldwide scrutiny, Cook (who was often described 

as shy, unassuming and unimaginative) defied all expectations. 

Under Cook’s leadership Apple has soared: its stock has nearly 

tripled to become the world’s first trillion-dollar company. From 

the massive growth of the iPhone to new victories like the Apple 

Watch, Cook is leading Apple to a new era of success. 

But he’s also spearheaded a cultural revolution within the company. Since becoming CEO, 

Cook has introduced a new style of management that emphasizes kindness, collaboration 

and honesty, and has quietly pushed Apple to support sexual and racial equal rights and 

invest heavily in renewable energy. 

The Billion Dollar Bonfire 

How Allan Hubbard and the Government 

destroyed South Canterbury Finance 

By Chris Lee 

The collapse of South Canterbury Finance (SCF) is one of the 

biggest New Zealand stories of the last decade. 

The sweep of events, from Timaru to the Beehive, include some 

of the most revealing moments on issues critical to this country 

- everything from poor governance and systemic issues in the 

finance sector, through to the structural risks this exposed and 

the costs it ultimately presented to all New Zealanders. There has 

not yet been a book that has attempted to tell this story, certainly 

not one from an `insider’ perspective. The Billion Dollar Bonfire by Chris Lee will be the first 

book to do both these things. Chris tells this fascinating story as both a long-standing New 

Zealand financial advisor and a protagonist in the narrative. As he writes in the opening 

chapter, he knew Alan Hubbard personally and, from the late 1990s, had clients invest with 

SCF. His main motivation for writing the book, made explicit throughout, is his overriding 

concern that this could all happen again without significant changes to our law and the 

culture of the capital markets industry.

GT-Line gives the Kia brand extra bite 

Motoring 

Ross Kiddie 

KIA MOTORS New Zealand is 

doing everything it can to raise 

the profile of its ever-increasing 

line-up. 

Amidst its range of sport utility 

vehicles and passenger cars is new 

branding, the GT-Line is stretching 

further into the company’s mix. 

GT-Line can be found in new 

Cerato and Sportage, and those 

variants generally have more 

features and a slant towards 

higher performance – engine and 

suspension. 

One other model stands out 

with its GT-Line badge, and that 

is the Rio, a smallish hatchback 

which has already made a name 

for itself in the market for its 

practicality and economy. 

The Rio lands here in entry-level 

form at $23,490 which makes it an 

affordable package and there are 

higher grade options depending 

on how you would like it specced. 

Topping the range is a $28,990 

GT-Line which has an engine 

totally devoid from that of its stablemates. 

Instead of the tried and 

tested 1.4-litre naturally-aspirated 

four-cylinder unit, the GT-Line 

gets a turbocharged three-potter 

which is squarely aimed at Suzuki’s 

$28,500 Swift Sport, in terms of its 

position in the market. 

The 1-litre engine is considerably 

more powerful than the base 

model unit, yet it is also more 

economical and, being lightweight 

in design, it promotes an 

agile handling feel. 

Power is rated at a healthy 

88kW and 171Nm, the turbo 

boost ushering in a long torque 

curve – 1500rpm to 4000rpm. 

Maximum power arrives at 

6000rpm, but bottom end 

strength is strong enough to meet 

the red-line without becoming 

breathless. 

For the three-cylinder novice 

you will firstly notice the harmonics 

associated with the design, it 

appears lumpy and doesn’t always 

seem balanced, that’s not really 

the case it just seems that way. 

However, it does have a characteristic 

tone and that is manifested 

through the cabin, that’s not a bad 

thing, I like the sound and the 

feeling it generates, it adds to the 

sporty sensation Kia is trying to 

achieve with the GT-Line. 

Drive is channelled through a 

seven-speed, dual clutch transmission, 

therein lies another 

notable sensation, there isn’t total 

harmony between the engine and 

gearbox, there are times when the 

two don’t feel thoroughly connected, 

notably when entering or 

leaving reverse. 

That aside, in all other circumstances 

it works sweetly, shifts are 

quick and combine to promote 

the feel you would expect from a 

car wearing a GT badge. 

Performance is quite lively given 

the engine has a displacement 

of just 998cc. It will launch the 

Rio to 100km/h from a standstill 

in around 10sec and will happily 

shift down for a highway overtake 

in 6.6sec (80km/h to 120km/h). 

The Rio in this form hasn’t lost 

sight of its purpose, it is still the 

economical fuel miser of its counterparts 

- the LX, EX and Limited. 

Kia NZ gives the turbo Rio 

a 5.4-litre per 100km (52mpg) 

combined cycle average. 

Unfortunately, my time on the 

highway was thwarted by a puncture 

and I didn’t do anywhere 

near the amount of kilometres I 

would have preferred. However, 

I can report that the Rio GT-Line 

has spirited behaviour and tidy

handling manners. 

Kia has uprated the suspension 

quite noticeably, the GT-Line sits 

very firm on the road and doesn’t 

absorb much in the way of road 

ripples. A bit of that has to do 

with the low profile of the tyres 

(205/45 x 17in) and the restricting 

nature of the tube beam rear 

axle that prohibits rear wheel 

freedom. However, the handling 

benefits are at the forefront, the 

Rio GT-Line has sporty dynamics, 

it steers sweetly into a corner 

and powers out with composure. 

Directional accuracy is sharp and 

body balance over the suspension 

is well contained thanks to the 

firming. 

As sporty as the Rio GT-line 

suggests, it is still the practical 

family car, the five-door layout is 

appealing and the levels of comfort 

aren’t overly compromised, 

bearing in mind that at just over 

4m, the Rio as a range isn’t big on 

space,however, it does make good 

use of its compact proportions and 

will satisfy with its level of comfort. 

Kia in New Zealand knows it 

has to compete hard, in all of its 

markets there are other brands 

with tempting product. 

I’m not sure the Rio GT-Line 

has the spark to pip the Swift 

Sport, but I do know is that Kia 

NZ will be aggressive with its 

marketing, and it will certainly 

sell to those who want something 

just a little different in their performance 

car purchase.

Sunrise to sunset 

7A Ranui Crescent, Diamond Harbour 

Price: $418,000 

2/3 bedrooms | 1 bathroom | Open plan living/dining/kitchen | Listing Number: 9394 

Sitting as centre stage to the water, this is 

a quirky, retro and totally unique property. 

Sitting as centre stage to the water as you can 

get, the views here out to the hills and the 

head of the harbour are unbeatable. 

In a well-established, private garden which 

adjoins the reserve, this is a property which 

begs closer inspection. It’s functional in 

layout, and there is certainly opportunity 

here to add value and create something quite 

remarkable with the interior, which oozes 

potential. 

Two decent sized bedrooms and a 

bathroom downstairs, and on the middle 

level is open-plan living/dining and kitchen 

with more phenomenal views. Ascend the 

spiral staircase to the upper level where 

you will find more space for potentially the 

master bedroom or additional living. 

The house itself is tidy but requires some 

structural work to continue its longevity - 

this is a project best suited to someone with 

construction skills or experience. There is an 

engineer’s report available.

property in a stunning harbour position,

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand 

has b en a proached in a bid to 

fina ly repair the potholes in New 

Brighton’s Hawke St car park. 

Coastal-Burw od Ward city 

counci lor David East wants 

WorkSafe to pre sure the car 

park’s private owners into 

repairing the potholes which are 

a “trip and vehicle” hazard. 

WorkSafe chief inspector 

a se sment southern Da ren 

Handforth said it may be able to 

take action under the Health and 

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a 

person conducting a busine s or 

undertaking.” 

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe 

is aware of the concerns raised by 

Cr East abou the car park. 

“WorkSafe has completed 

an a se sment visi to the site 

and is engaging with the owner 

to advise them that it is their 

responsibility to manage their 

risks a propriately.” 

Different parts of the car park 

are owned by various people 

and the Coastal-Burw od 

Community Board recently 

wrote to them about its concerns 

around health and safety. 

Cr East said the bi gest i sue 

in the past has b en ge ting in 

touch with the landlords and 

owners and ge ting them to 

agr e to anything. “The board 

a preciates that multi-ownership 

of the parking space may present 

a difficulty in co-ordinating 

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged 

to pa s these concerns onto you,” 

said the le ter. 

One reply has b en received so 

far from an owner who is wi ling 

to discu s the i sue. However, a l 

the owners would have to agr e 

to undertake work. 

Cr East said there had b en 

a “number of incidences” in 

the car park of people injuring 

themselves which had gone 

unreported. 

“I’ve always though that it 

has b en quite amazing that we 

haven’t had any serious a cidents 

or senior citizens perhaps 

tri ping in those potholes and 

doing themselve some damage.” 

He is confiden the new 

a proach wi l bring results. 

“I think the WorkSafe 

involvement may prove to be the 

lever that we are l oking for.”

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.”

Cave Rock 

Apartments’ 

owners 

expect EQC 

sign-off 

this week 

• By Sarla Donovan 

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.”

A WOOLSTON butcher proved 

to be a cut above the rest in an 

international competition. 

New World Fe ry Rd butcher 

Jeremy Garth and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently 

came second a the World 

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern 

Ireland. 

It was the firs time Mr Garth 

had competed in the cha lenge 

and he was “rea ly proud” of 

how the team performed. 

“We produced some top quality 

products and came away 

with a g od result so we’re very 

ha py,” he said. 

The preparation for this year’s 

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was 

intense as the team members 

met in Auckland every two 

months for lengthy w ekend 

practices. 

Mr Garth, who has b en a 

butcher for 14 years, said the 

competition brought back his 

pa sion for the job. 

“Doing a l thi stuff and 

m eting new people, s eing new 

ideas, it just brings that flair 

back for you,” he said. 

Mr Garth hopes to own a 

butcher shop of his own someday 

but says for now he wi l focus 

on ge ting mor experience 

and on the 2020 cha lenge. 

“In two years’ time, we’ l be 

going back to try and win the 

title,” he said.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile

be l oming. 

However, the public has li tle 

interest in having input into the 

i sue. 

Only eight submi sions were 

received for a potential bylaw 

aimed at regulating commercial 

activities in public places. 

The district council wi l be 

holding a hearing for the Public 

Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial 

Activities and Events in 

Public Places. 

A hearing i scheduled to be 

held on Thursday. 

The bylaw comes as an increasing 

number of mobile traders 

are s eking to operate in Selwyn, 

especia ly during the summer 

months. 

In the past year, the district 

council has received five inquiries 

about se ting up a mobile busine s

A report said there are two

Pupils learn about role of war horses

Mark A pleton and member 

Mike Donaldson t ok their

in a bid to educate pupils on the 

sacrifice their ancestors made in 

World War 1 and World War 2. 

Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson

in World War 1 uniforms while 

their horses Tommy and Kruze 

wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated 

to the trust. 

The presentation is a prelude 

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve 

Management Commi t e’s 

upcoming Anzac Day service. 

As a tribute to those who 

served, members of the trust wi l 

ride horseback to the service. 

Mr A pleton said it was 

important children were 

educated on what soldiers 

wen through during World 

War 1 and World War 2. 

But he said the presentation 

didn’t go into t o much detail 

and was more of a “show and

the soldiers l oked like. 

Children were shown the type

AN U PER Ri carton butcher 

has proven himself to be a cut 

above his Au sie rivals at an 


Elite Meats owner Corey 

Winder was named in the a l 

star team a the World Butchers’ 

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland. 

Mr Winder and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which 

includes W olston butcher 

Jeremy Garth, finished second 

in the competition. 

He said the cha lenge started 

as a “transtasman test match” 

seven years ago. 

The preparation for this 

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge 

was intense as the team 

members met in Auckland 

every two months for lengthy 

w ekend practices. Mr Winder 

said coming second against 1 

other countries was a “fantastic” 

result. 

“To get second behind Ireland 

was a huge achievement and to 

be ahead of Australia is an 

even bi ger thing for us,” he 

said. 

But Mr Winder admires the 

Australian team. 

“Those guys over there 

[Australia] are on top of their 

game, they do a g od job,” he 

said. 

“And it just showcases that 

New Zealand has got some 

of the best butchers in the 

world,” he said. 

Mr Winder has b en a butcher

“You can just about guarant e

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if 

the city council would endorse the

“I’d like to think so because the 

city council has had their eyes

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand 

has b en a proached in a bid to 

fina ly repair the potholes in New 

Brighton’s Hawke St car park. 

Coastal-Burw od Ward city 

counci lor David East wants 

WorkSafe to pre sure the car 

park’s private owners into 

repairing the potholes which are 

a “trip and vehicle” hazard. 

WorkSafe chief inspector 

a se sment southern Da ren 

Handforth said it may be able to 

take action under the Health and 

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a 

person conducting a busine s or 

undertaking.” 

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe 

is aware of the concerns raised by 

Cr East abou the car park. 

“WorkSafe has completed 

an a se sment visi to the site 

and is engaging with the owner 

to advise them that it is their 

responsibility to manage their 

risks a propriately.” 

Different parts of the car park 

are owned by various people 

and the Coastal-Burw od 

Community Board recently 

wrote to them about its concerns 

around health and safety. 

Cr East said the bi gest i sue 

in the past has b en ge ting in 

touch with the landlords and 

owners and ge ting them to 

agr e to anything. “The board 

a preciates that multi-ownership 

of the parking space may present 

a difficulty in co-ordinating 

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged 

to pa s these concerns onto you,” 

said the le ter. 

One reply has b en received so 

far from an owner who is wi ling 

to discu s the i sue. However, a l 

the owners would have to agr e 

to undertake work. 

Cr East said there had b en 

a “number of incidences” in 

the car park of people injuring 

themselves which had gone 

unreported. 

“I’ve always though that it 

has b en quite amazing that we 

haven’t had any serious a cidents 

or senior citizens perhaps 

tri ping in those potholes and 

doing themselve some damage.” 

He is confiden the new 

a proach wi l bring results. 

“I think the WorkSafe 

involvement may prove to be the 

lever that we are l oking for.”

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

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was 

intense as the team members 

met in Auckland every two 

months for lengthy w ekend 

practices. 

Mr Garth, who has b en a 

butcher for 14 years, said the 

competition brought back his 

pa sion for the job. 

“Doing a l thi stuff and 

m eting new people, s eing new 

ideas, it just brings that flair 

back for you,” he said. 

Mr Garth hopes to own a 

butcher shop of his own someday 

but says for now he wi l focus 

on ge ting mor experience 

and on the 2020 cha lenge. 

“In two years’ time, we’ l be 

going back to try and win the 

title,” he said.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile 

traders acro s the districts could 

be l oming. 

However, the public has li tle 

interest in having input into the 

i sue. 

Only eight submi sions were 

received for a potential bylaw 

aimed at regulating commercial 

activities in public places. 

The district council wi l be 

holding a hearing for the Public 

Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial 

Activities and Events in 

Public Places. 

A hearing i scheduled to be 

held on Thursday. 

The bylaw comes as an increasing 

number of mobile traders 

are s eking to operate in Selwyn, 

especia ly during the summer 

months. 

In the past year, the district 

council has received five inquiries 

about se ting up a mobile busine s 

on private or public land. 

A report said there are two 

str et operators in Darfield, a 

coff e cart is parked beside the 

railway in Ro leston, and a pi za 

cart visits Lincoln w ekly betw en 

September-May along with a Thai

Pupils learn about role of war horses 

GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils 

have taken a step back in time, 

s eing first hand what men and 

horses l oked like during war. 

The New Zealand Mounted 

Rifles Charitable Trust president 

Mark A pleton and member 

Mike Donaldson t ok their 

horses to the sch ol on Monday, 

in a bid to educate pupils on the 

sacrifice their ancestors made in 

World War 1 and World War 2. 

Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson 

a rived a the sch ol dre sed 

in World War 1 uniforms while 

their horses Tommy and Kruze 

wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated 

to the trust. 

The presentation is a prelude 

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve 

Management Commi t e’s 

upcoming Anzac Day service. 

As a tribute to those who 

served, members of the trust wi l 

ride horseback to the service. 

Mr A pleton said it was 

important children were 

educated on what soldiers 

wen through during World 

War 1 and World War 2. 

But he said the presentation 

didn’t go into t o much detail 

and was more of a “show and 

te l” to make them aware of what 

the soldiers l oked like. 

Children were shown the type 

of kits horses were required to 

wear in the war.

AN U PER Ri carton butcher 

has proven himself to be a cut 

above his Au sie rivals at an 


Elite Meats owner Corey 

Winder was named in the a l 

star team a the World Butchers’ 

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland. 

Mr Winder and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which 

includes W olston butcher 

Jeremy Garth, finished second 

in the competition. 

He said the cha lenge started 

as a “transtasman test match” 

seven years ago. 

The preparation for this 

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge 

was intense as the team 

members met in Auckland 

every two months for lengthy 

w ekend practices. Mr Winder 

said coming second against 1 

other countries was a “fantastic” 

result. 

“To get second behind Ireland 

was a huge achievement and to 

be ahead of Australia is an 

even bi ger thing for us,” he 

said. 

But Mr Winder admires the 

Australian team. 

“Those guys over there 

[Australia] are on top of their 

game, they do a g od job,” he 

said. 

“And it just showcases that 

New Zealand has got some 

of the best butchers in the 

world,” he said. 

Mr Winder has b en a butcher 

since the age of 19.

THE HALSWE L-Hornby- 

Ri carton Community Board 

has b en given the gr en ligh to 

o pose the pla ned qua ry near 

Templeton. 

Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the 

board on Thursday it had the okay 

from the city council to make a 

submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies 

for a resource consen to create a 

qua ry. 

Board chairman Mike Mora 

told Western News the submi sion 

would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s 

plan. 

“You can just about guarant e 

it . because we [the community 

board] don’t believe qua ries 

should be so close to residential 

areas,” he said. 

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if 

the city council would endorse the 

board’ submi sion. 

“I’d like to think so because the 

city council has had their eyes 

open as we l ove recent years over 

the crysta line silica risk,” he said. 

Mr Mora said the community 

board wi l be “representing and 

advocating” for the Templeton 

community.
