tsunami 

impact 

– study 

• By Jess Gibson 

RISING SEA levels will see tsunamis 

have an even bigger impact on 

Lyttelton and Akaroa harbours. 

A study by the National Institute 

of Water and Atmospheric Research 

shows a tsunami triggered by an 

earthquake in Peru would impact on 

bays within the harbours if sea levels 

continue to rise due to climate change. 

The extent of the tsunamis 

predicted in the report are almost 

entirely within the existing tsunami 

evacuation areas, but 12 additional 

Banks Peninsula properties will have 

to be added to the areas. 

City council head of civil defence 

and emergency management Rob 

Orchard said staff engaged with a 

handful of property owners on Banks 

Peninsula “to make sure they’re 

aware of the new information and 

ways they can stay safe in the event of 

a tsunami flooding their land.” 

The simulation study presented 

the potential flooding risks from a 

tsunami triggered by a magnitude 

9.28 earthquake in Peru, an event 

predicted to happen once every 500 

years on average.

THE SPOTLIGHT will be on city 

councillors post election – over their pay. 

On page 3 today, we reveal a change in 

the way city councillors are remunerated. 

They will receive money from a fund 

called a governance pool. They will set their 

own salaries, including any increase, and how community board 

members, including those representing Banks Peninsula, will be 

funded. 

The issue of what Banks Peninsula members get paid has been 

a hot topic during this current term, and I fully agree with their 

concerns. 

Community board pay rates have previously been based on 

population. But Banks Peninsula members have big distances to 

travel to get to meetings and carry out local body business that is 

more time-consuming than city board members.

• By Louis Day 

THE FUNDING of the Banks 

Peninsula Community Board 

will lie in the hands of city 

councillors following the 

October local body elections. 

City councillors will vote 

on how much of a $1,843,200 

governance pool will go towards 

increasing their own salaries 

and decide if any should be put 

towards increasing the remuneration 

of the Banks Peninsula 

Community Board and other 

community boards. 

Elected members will vote 

on the allocation of funds and 

make a recommendation to the 

Remuneration Authority, which 

will have the final say. 

In spite of receiving a pay rise 

of $194, the Banks Peninsula 

Community Board is still paid 

less than half of what inner-city 

board members are. 

As it stands, Banks Peninsula 

Community Board members 

are set to receive $9864 and the 

chairperson $19,729 after the 

elections. 

Whereas members of the 

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board will receive 

$24,580 and their chair $49,160. 

They say what they are paid 

fails to account for the time and 


Funding review after elections 

travel that the role requires. 

The current remuneration 

model is set by population, so 

community boards with bigger 

populations get better remuneration. 

Banks Peninsula Community 

Board member Jed O’Donoghue 

thought they were paid a pittance 

for the work they were 

required to do. 

He said the low level of remuneration 

contributed to his decision 

to not stand for re-election. 

Half of the board have said 

they may not seek reelection 

because of what they are paid. 

“I think to attract more candidates 

and make the democratic 

process better you would need 

better remuneration,” he said. 

Deputy Mayor and Banks 

Peninsula councillor Andrew 

Turner said he would like to see 

some of the governance pool 

used to increase the funding of 

the Banks Peninsula Community 

Board. 

“The work of a community 

board member is not solely 

driven by the population that it 

represents. A lot of the work of 

a community board is driven 

by the environment and on the 

Banks Peninsula we have a lot of 

environmental issues,” he said. 

Andrew Jed 

Turner O’Donoghue 

City councillor James Gough 

agreed there needed to be more 

consistency in the remuneration 

of community board members. 

However, he thought it was 

also important city councillors 

were paid their fair share. 

“You would be mad to not 

appreciate that remuneration is 

going to factor in the attraction 

of quality candidates,” he said. 

Councillors will receive a 

minimum base salary of $97,280 

– $5120 less than what they are 

currently paid. 

But the mayor will get an 

increase, receiving $195,000 – a 

$1901 rise from the current 

$193,099 the role pays. 

Funds from the pool could 

be used to increase the base 

salary of city councillors 

and additional pay could be 

allocated towards roles with 

extra responsibilities, such as the 

mayor, deputy mayor, chairs and 

deputy chairs of committees.

Akaroa under fire on Facebook 


A WEEK after Lyttelton was 

targetted by the notorious 

Facebook page Sh** Towns of 

New Zealand, Akaroa has come 

under fire. 

A satirical review of Akaroa 

which was posted to the page 

last Tuesday attracted more 

than 200 comments and 50 

shares. 

Sh** Towns of New Zealand, 

which humorously writes about 

“all the best places not to go on a 

holiday,” is followed by more than 

125,000 people. 

“The Banks Peninsula outpost 

of Akaroa had the misfortune of 

being settled by the French and 

has been filled with pretentious, 

foul-smelling weirdos ever since,” 

it read. 

Akaroa resident and Frenchman 

Steve Le Lievre does not 

have Facebook but has read the 

post and said it was “way the hell 

off from the truth.’’ 

The 71-year-old is a well-known 

identity in Akaroa as he is the 

town crier and has lived there his 

whole life. 

The page took several jabs at 

the town’s French history which 

dates back to 1840 when the first 

group of settlers landed. 

Mr Le Lievre is a direct descendant 

of one of those settlers, 

Francois Le Lievre. 

The post read: “French 

origins are still evident in the 

inhabitants’ laziness, aversion 

to personal hygiene, unnatural 

lust for baguettes and eagerness 

to surrender at the first possible 

opportunity,” it read. 

“Oh god, it’s rather strange 

to me. It has no bearing on the 

history of Akaroa,” Mr Le Lievre 

said. 

“It’s bloody crazy, I know the 

history because I’m part of it,” he 

said. 

The post also served a backhanded 

compliment at the town’s 

attractive views. 

“Akaroa’s main claim to fame 

DESCENDANT: 

Akaroa town 

crier Steve Le 

Lievre is not 

impressed 

with a harsh 

write-up on 

his home of 71 

years. 

is its supposed ‘picturesque 

charm’, which is pimped out 

twice daily when hordes of 

norovirus-afflicted cruise ship 

passengers descend on the 

hamlet to buy dodgy croissants 

and take a picture next to an old 

lighthouse,” it read. 

Mr Le Lievre said he loves 

“everything” about Akaroa 

including the bustling tourism 

scene.

New study shows 

impacts of tsunami 

•From page 1 

Different sea level rise 

scenarios are considered – 

ranging from 19cm to 1.06m – 

over the next 50-100 years. 

Lyttelton has a steep 

topography on the coast 

protecting most of its shoreline 

from a tsunami but low-lying 

bays in the harbour, like Purau 

Bay, Charteris Bay, Governors 

Bay and Head of the Bay, are 

more exposed to inundation. 

Using 2018 seas levels, 

NIWA discovered during the 

magnitude 9.28 earthquake 

scenario the inundation at Head 

of the Bay would reach 1.5km 

inland with a maximum depth 

of 7m. 

The inundation depth for 

Head of the Bay is expected to 

reach 8m with 2065 sea levels, 

and 9m by 2120. It would extend 

about 90m inland in both 

scenarios. Port areas see severe 

damage to infrastructure. 

Low-lying areas in Akaroa 

Harbour are the most likely to 

be affected in a tsunami, namely 

Wainui, Akaroa, Takamatua, 

Duvauchelle Bay, Barrys Bay and 

French Farm Bay. 

In a 9.28 earthquake with 2018 

sea levels, the inundation depth 

in Akaroa would be more than 

5m and reach as far as 250m 

inland, flooding most of the 

historical town. 

In a 2120 sea level scenario, 

it shows inundation would 

increase in Akaroa by 100m 

inland. In Takamatua with 

2018 levels, inundation would 

reach beyond the Christchurch- 

Akaroa Rd as far as 440m inland 

with a maximum depth of 6.5m. 

In 2120, flooding would have 

increased by 60m inland. 

Scenarios with higher sea 

levels also amplified inundation 

in other bays. 

“Modelling like this is so 

important in allowing us to 

better understand how tsunamis 

flood the land. In turn, it allows 

us to make the best-informed 

emergency management 

decisions,” Mr Orchard said. 

“We are always growing 

our understanding, and as we 

learn more, we will update 

information in our tsunami 

evacuation zones,” he said. 

The modelling was done by 

NIWA at the city council’s 

request as part of a multi-hazard 

analysis project.

How to Escape from Prison 

by Paul Wood 

The Remarkable Story of How One Man Defied the Odds 

At 18, Paul Wood thought he had lost everything. He 

had committed an act he knew would send him to prison 

for many years. To a young man like Paul, it might as 

well have been for the rest of his life. 

Plunged into a nightmarish world of extreme violence, solitary 

confinement, gang allegiances, drugs, vindictive wardens 

and regular stabbings, Paul spent the next 11 years confined in some of New 

Zealand’s toughest jails. 

Based on an account of his experiences he wrote while still inside, How to Escape 

from Prison chronicles Paul’s road to redemption and a new life as a doctor of 

psychology, helping others strive to fulfil their potential and develop the resilience 

to flourish, even in adversity. This is a gripping read about a man who sank to the 

depths of despair, before scaling the heights of true freedom. 

‘Paul’s transformation is unbelievable. We are sometimes brought up to think 

a zebra can’t change its stripes. Paul Wood’s story is proof that anyone can 

change. It gives you great courage that you can do anything.’ 

- Sir John Kirwan 

The Last Widow 

by Karin Slaughter 

New York Times bestselling author Karin Slaughter brings back Will Trent and 

Sara Linton in this superb and timely thriller full of devious twists, disturbing 

secrets, and shocking surprises you won’t see coming. 

It begins with an abduction. 

The routine of a family shopping trip is shattered when Michelle Spivey is 

snatched as she leaves the mall with her young daughter. The police search for 

her, her partner pleads for her release, but it’s as if she disappeared into thin air. 

A month later, on a sleepy Sunday afternoon, medical examiner Sara Linton 

is at lunch with her boyfriend Will Trent, an agent with the Georgia Bureau of 

Investigation. But the serenity of the summer’s day is broken by the wail of sirens. 

Sara and Will are trained to run towards an emergency, not away from it. But 

on this one terrible day that instinct betrays them. Within hours the situation 

has spiralled out of control. And the fallout will lead them into the Appalachian 

mountains, to the terrible truth about really happened to Michelle, and to a remote 

compound where a radical group has murder in mind...

ANOTHER five peacocks 

have been shot as a 

neighbourly dispute in 

Lyttelton continues to 

escalate. 

In February, Brenchley 

Farm owner Sue Stubenvoll 

sent a legal letter to her 

neighbour Janelle Wills, 

who feeds the wild 

peacocks. It said she had 

the right to shoot the birds 

under the Impounding Act. 

She gave Miss Wills four 

weeks notice of what would 

happen if they came onto 

her property. 

In May, Ms Stubenvoll 

arranged for someone to 

shoot five of the peacocks. 

Last week, she had 

someone shot another five. 

She said it is possible 

more may be killed. 

Ms Stubenvoll said she 

had eaten some of the 

peacocks. 

“They are pretty tough so 

sometimes I give bits to the 

dog,” she said. 

The cull comes right in 

the middle of a relocation 

effort to move the peacocks 

out of harm’s way. 

There are now only 

four peacocks left. 

Seventeen have been 

relocated. 

There were originally 

more than 30 peacocks in 

the area. 

Miss Wills said the 

TARGETED: 

Five more 

peacocks 

have 

been shot 

before they 

could be 

moved off 

a Lyttelton 

property. 

Five more wild peacocks 

shot – and some eaten 

peacocks that were shot all 

had new homes and were 

about to be moved. 

“I don’t get it when they 

have all got homes they are 

set to move in to. Why kill 

them when you can save 

them?” she said. 

She wants more time 

to relocate the remaining 

peacocks. 

Ms Stubenvoll said she 

killed the peacocks in a bid 

to protect the rare geckos 

and skinks that live on her 

farm. 

However, Miss Wills 

does not believe her. 

“The reason she has done 

this is because she wanted 

to eat them, it has nothing 

to do with geckos.”

MISSED: Douglas James (Jim) 

McArthur received a Gold Star in 

1998 for 25 years service to the 

Sumner Volunteer Fire Brigade. 


AFTER 25 years, volunteer 

firefighter Marty Stanley still 

gets an adrenaline rush when the 

sirens go off at the Governors Bay 

station. 

Since joining the Governors 

Bay Volunteer Fire Brigade in 

1994, Mr Stanley has responded 

to a range of call-outs in 

the community and across 

Christchurch. 

But he said his biggest feat “by 

far” was the Port Hills fires in 

2017, where he helped out for 

more than a week. 

Now the 60-year-old has been 

recognised with a gold star pin, 

which represents 25 years of 

service to the brigade. 

“It was a pretty awesome 

feeling. The years have gone really 

fast, that’s for sure,” Mr Stanley 

said. 

“Working for the brigade is 

great and it has been an amazing 

ride. There’s great camaraderie.” 

Mt Stanley works full-time at 

Saeco Wilson in Sydenham and 

says he is fortunate to have a 

supportive company that allows 

him to attend the brigade’s 

Sumner 

Volunteer 

Fire Brigade 

chief officer 

Daryl Sayer 

remembers 

retired chief 

fire officer 

Douglas James (Jim) 

McArthur, who died on 

July 1 aged 75 

JIM FIRST joined the Sumner 

fire brigade in 1967. 

In 1983, Jim and his family 

moved to Timaru for work, 

but he rejoined the brigade 

on their return in 1987 and 

served another 13 years until 

Firefighter honoured for 25 years of service 

call-outs. About 75 people 

attended the presentation of Mr 

Stanley’s award at Allandale Hall, 

including firefighters and their 

families. 

Presenting the pin was 

Queen’s Service Medal-holder 

Chris Price from the Ashburton 

Volunteer Fire Brigade, who was 

representing the United Fire 

Brigades’ Association of NZ. 

Fire chief Andrew Norris said 

the highlight of the evening was 

Mr Stanley’s award, as well as 

the service awards for 15 other 

members, including certificates 

for three years and five years of 

service. 

The brigade was started in 

1988 and Mr Stanley is the sixth 

member to have received the 

award in 31 years. 

COMMENDED: Marty Stanley 

stands beside a giant 

version of the gold star he 

wears on his formal uniform 

to represent 25 years of 

service to the Governors Bay 

Volunteer Fire Brigade. 


Remembering a veteran 

of the Sumner brigade 

his retirement in 2000. Jim was 

made a life honorary member 

of the brigade in 1985, but the 

pinnacle of his service was 

when he received his Gold Star 

for 25 years service in 1998. 

The function for this was held 

at the Sumner RSA. I seem to 

recall a night of rock and roll 

and dancing. 

Not all of Jim’s fire brigade 

activity was within the Sumner 

brigade. 

He had active roles in both 

the Canterbury Provincial Fire 

Brigades Association and the 

Mid-Canterbury Fire Brigades 

Sub Association, serving as 

president of each (at different 

times) and being made a life 

member of each. Jim has 

remained a firm supporter of 

these organisations, and of 

the Sumner Volunteer Fire 

Brigade. He was always a 

regular attendee of AGMs and 

social events. 

Last month we had our 

annual AGM, which celebrated 

125 years of the brigade’s 

existence. 

To mark this historic 

occasion, we had speakers 

relate their experiences of the 

Sumner brigade. We had the 

treat of hearing Jim speak 

about some of his experiences 

in the brigade, which in 

hindsight turned out to be 

excellent timing.

Bid to reduce 

freedom 

camping 

at reserve 


AN ATTEMPT is being made to 

address freedom camping issues 

in Diamond Harbour by changing 

a popular app. 

The Diamond Harbour 

Residents Association expressed 

concerns in May over freedom 

campers littering and causing 

parking congestion for other 

vehicles at Stoddart Point Reserve. 

The city council has now 

requested an app providing 

information about freedom 

camping at the reserve change its 

wording to help reduce the issues. 

CamperMate is a popular 

phone app referenced on the city 

council’s “know where to camp” 

brochure, which lists freedom 

camping locations nationwide 

and specifies guidelines for those 

areas. 

CamperMate currently refers 

to the city council’s freedom 

camping bylaw from 2015 for the 

whole of Diamond Harbour. 

It states that certified selfcontained 

vehicles can park at any 

city council-owned site, except 

a prohibited area of Purau Bay, 

for a maximum of two nights per 

month. 

The city council has asked 

CamperMate to update its 

guidelines specifically for 

Stoddart Point Reserve to 

say “certified self-contained 

campervans can stay in this 

parking area for up to two 

nights in any 30-day period. 

Proof of self-containment will 

be required. Regular monitoring 

and enforcement. Please take 

all rubbish with you. Popular 

parking area for visitors, and for 

locals commuting by ferry.”

Southworth to stand in south seat 


A FOURTH candidate 

will contest Environment 

Canterbury’s Owhanga – 

South seat. 

Geologist Vicky Southworth, 

of Sumner, has 

announced she will stand 

for a seat which covers 

Canterbury’s bays, inlets 

and harbours in October’s 

local body elections. 

Mrs Southworth will be 

standing independently against 

Labour-aligned People’s Choice 

candidate’s James Dann and 


A 168-YEAR-OLD cottage in 

Lyttelton will get a $50,888 

upgrade. 

The city council’s social, 

community development and 

housing committee approved the 

heritage incentive grant for Islay 

Cottage in Ticehurst Rd. 

The cottage was built in 1851 

by carpenter Thomas Kent and 

later occupied by Lyttelton 

harbourmaster, Captain Hugh 

McLellan. 

It is considered a landmark 

early colonial dwelling, which 

retains many original heritage 

features. 

Vicky

Phil Clearwater and one other 

independent, Hamish Keown. 

Mrs Southworth has a Master 

of Water Resource Management

University which ties into 

15 years of scientific and

She is trained as

The grant will cover 

conservation and maintenance 

work for the earthquakedamaged

Committee chairman and 

city councillor Phil Clearwater 

said it is important to hold on to 

heritage in a rapidly changing 

world. 

“The cottage reminds us of our 

history and we need to retain 

these past connections as we

Clearwater said.

As a community representative 

on the Canterbury water 

management strategy regional 

committee, she has been involved 

in the complex issue of 

freshwater management. 

“I’ve seen how ECan works 

and have got a good sense of 

what’s working and what isn’t, 

at least in the water space,” Mrs 

Southworth said. 

Within the boundary that 

the south seat covers, Mrs 

Southworth wants to see habitat 

expansion in the Port Hills and 

Banks Peninsula. 

“Linking up the bits we have 

so that species can migrate and 

repopulate areas is an efficient 

way to build resilience. Akaroa 

has a reintroduced tui population 

that’s doing well now,” she said. 

She would also like to work 

more closely with central Government 

to explore options for 

planting native trees as climate 

change mitigation, which could 

bring in revenue. 

“I like to talk to people, listen 

and then mull over what I hear,’’ 

she said.

Time capsule 

found in 

school ceiling 

A 25-YEAR-OLD time capsule 

has been discovered at Okains 

Bay School. 

A builder found the capsule in 

the school’s ceiling. It contained 

memorabilia from 1994, such as 

newspaper clippings, magazines, 

coins, stamps and several letters 

from a roll of 19 pupils. 

In one of the letters, a group 

of senior pupils shared what was 

happening at the time. 

“New Zealand’s prime minister 

is Jim Bolger, for $1 you can buy 

a pie or a Crunchie bar, we drive 

to school in a 1991 Falcon, 1973 

Holden, 1991 Honda and 1981 

Mazda,” the letter read. 

“We’d like NZ to be clean, 

pollution-free and war-free by 

2050.” 

Principal Colin Hammond 

said the discovery was “very 

exciting” for teachers and the 

school’s 11 pupils. 

Mr Hammond was in his 

20s in 1994 and said he shared 

what it was like to be a “spring 

chicken” in those times. 

Pupils will create their own 

capsule before placing both back 

in the ceiling to be discovered at 

a later date.

Port Hills 

MP Ruth 

Dyson shares 

her views 

on current 

projects in 

Sumner and 

the Banks 

Peninsula 

If I never see another road 

cone again . . . 

One of the many things that 

Christchurch folk are over is 

road cones and traffic works, 

detours and changed street 

layouts. Driving in our city is a 

bit like adventure tourism – you 

never quite know what route you 

will be taking or where you will 

end up. 

But I haven’t detected this 

frustration (or at least not quite 

as much as other times) with 

the extensive road work that is 

going on in Sumner Village. I 

think there are two reasons for 

tolerance. 

The first is that every day the 

Shag Rock to Surf Club section 

of the Coastal Pathway gets 

closer to finishing – and it is 

going to be such an asset for 

Canterbury once the next two 

stages are completed. 

And in the village itself, the 

extensive work is the delivery of 

the concept part of the village 

masterplan – which we started 

working on eight years ago. 

It will really lift the look of 

the village and I am sure will 

be warmly welcomed by all 

residents. (And hopefully, boost 

the “Shop Local” campaign). 

The other significant piece of

work which is just starting is 

the development at Naval Point 

(as featured in the Bay Harbour

This is definitely an “at 

last” moment and the many 

people who use Naval Point for 

recreation, particularly on the 

water, will be so pleased that 

at last the area is going to be 

improved. 

The new Yacht Club and

valuable asset to two very welldeserving

& Matt 

Week of highs and lows 

AS PART of the Matariki 

celebrations, Vittoria recently had 

her first hangi meal. 

She loved it so much she started 

using a fork on her own just to 

eat it. I’m not even exaggerating, 

it was literally the first time she’d 

used a fork on her own. A fork 

she took off Laura. 

She was even scooping wee bits 

up to feed to her grandparents in 

exchange for more chicken. 

After munching down on the 

stuffing, pumpkin and potato on 

her own plate, she was banging 

on Laura’s potato with her fork for 

more. 

Truly, her father’s daughter. 

This week has not been so full 

of fun however, I’ve been sick with 

a cold and a cough, the first time 

since becoming the stay-at-home 

parent. 

I also had my first “concerned 

parent” trip to the 24-hour surgery 

on Tuesday. 

To save those who read last 

week’s edition from further poobased 

trauma, I’ll quickly summarise 

the reason; there was the 

stinkyness, ’twas a strange colour 

and Dr Google got me all stressed. 

I started by calling Plunket, who 

informed me that it would be a 

good idea to take her to the doctors, 

just in case. 

As is typical in cases where you 

present to a packed surgery with 

a fairly benign concern, you wait 

– for ages. 

Pro tip; a giggling patient who is 

comedian? Racism, child abuse, 

abortion, sexual misconduct, 

rape, family violence, bullying, 

and other examples of sensitive 

issues, exploitation and misuse of 

power. 

Comedian Ray Shipley explores 

their gender fluidity in creative 

ways, with a strong following. We 

laugh at our weaknesses, blind 

spots, inconsistencies. 

Vote with your feet. Keep 

staying away from racism. 

TASTY: Vittoria enjoying a 

hangi meal. 

happy to run around and eat her 

snacks is not high on the priority 

list. 

Needless to say, when I finally 

saw the doctor it was a definite 

non-emergency. But not wasted 

time; I was reassured and what I 

was worried about was a totally 

legit concern. I am winning at 

parenting. 

So finally, to the family who 

kindly lent me books and toys for 

Vittoria to help entertain her and 

to the wee lad who chatted with 

her through the long wait, thank 

you.

SUMNER WILL need a miracle 

to qualify for the premier metro 

rugby competition plate semifinals 

after their 15-48 loss to 

Linwood at Linfield Park on 

Saturday. 

The result means Sumner 

now have to defeat Sydenham 

on Saturday and hope Burnside 

and Linwood suffer upset 

losses to University and Belfast 

respectively. 

Sumner showed plenty of 

promise in the opening half 

against Linwood, with close to 

80 per cent of the possession. 

However, they found themselves 

trailing 7-12 at half-time. 

“To have all that possession 

and territory and only score 

runs came from Millie Junge, Sam 

Bailey, Zara Percasky, Abigail 

Junge and Neve Majendie. 

The senior racing was 

highlighted by titles for Lisa 

Brignull, David Fitch and Graham 

Batchelor. 

Brignull was dominant in 

the 45-49 women’s 5000m. She 

finished more than 40sec ahead of 

her nearest rival with a winning 

time of 20min 31sec. Fitch was 

seven points is one thing. Then 

to give them two opportunities 

and have them score two tries 

was another,” said coach Martin 

Dodgson. Sumner scored a first 

half try through second-five Willy 

Saukura after working their way 

into Linwood’s territory after a 

dozen fazes. 

Dodgson said he couldn’t fault 

his side’s mentality in the first half 

after their subpar performance 

against Burnside a week earlier. 

In the second half, Sumner 

dotted down for their second try 

through fullback Poasa Cama. 

After a scrum, Sumner went 

down the blindside and Saukura 

put Cama in to score with an 

impressive off-load. Cama only 

recently returned to rugby after 

a serious knee injury at Linfield 

Medal haul at South Island cross-country champs 

even more dominant in winning 

the 40-44 men’s 9000m. His time 

of 30min 17sec saw him finish 

nearly 4min clear. Meanwhile 

Batchelor won the 70-plus 7000m 

in 33min 3sec. 

There were also podium finishes 

for Robyn Perkins 

in the 55-59 women’s 5000m, 

Morgan Strong in the 45-49 

women’s 5000m and Alistair Cory-

Park early last year. Linwood then 

went on to score two tries in quick 

succession and seized the match. 

“That’s when our mentality 

probably started to drop off a bit. 

We started missing tackles and 

we conceded two late tries,” said 

Dodgson. 

From an individual standpoint, 

Dodgson pin-pointed the 

performance of lock Josh Loader, 

who picked up the players’ player 

of the match. “He carried the ball

He really ripped into things,” said

Embracing the blend – it’s a matter of balance 

• By Mark Henderson 

THIS ASSORTMENT of wine 

eschews the concept of single 

variety wines in favour of 

embracing the blend. 

It is all a matter of balance 

and synergy, where two, three 

or more ingredients can create 

a complete whole, while the 

freedom of the blend allows 

wine-makers to experiment and 

‘’have a little fun’’. 

Pegasus Bay’s Sauvignon 

Semillon and Millton’s Les Trois 

Enfants are old hands at this 

game, while the new Vergence 

typifies the test-bed approach, 

with the Untitled range marrying 

a startlingly diverse, multivintage, 

region and variety 

approach (Back label Lot 

numbers will unlock the details). 

Game on indeed. 

2016 Pegasus Bay Sauvignon 

Semillon 

Price: $32 

Rating: Excellent 

Matchstick and a little wild 

yeast funk soon blow off leaving 

ripe pear, pea and grassy hints. 

Powerful fruit offers breadth on 

the palate, pear, pea pod, citrus, 

sweetly fruited yet dry, a little 

chalky grip a counterpoint to 

the fruit. A zesty tangy element 

runs like a laser beam through 

the wine, to the delightfully long 

finish that hangs in the 

mouth. 

A lovely food choice. 

www.pegasusbay.com 

2017 Millton Les Trois 

Enfants Co-fermentation 

Price: $21 

Rating: Very good to 

excellent 

Surprisingly evolved colour 

yet a fragrant and complex nose 

of honey, citrus, roses and hints 

of Turkish delight. The nose 

suggests sweetness but this is 

dry; the silky and supple palate 

offering dry honey and musk, 

orange zest, grilled grapefruit 

and a bittersweet almond note 

on the fresh, lifted finish. 

Beguiling, intriguing and 

rather fascinating. 

www.millton.co.nz 

2016 Vergence White by 

Pegasus Bay 

Price: $27 

Rating: Very good to excellent 

Somewhat subtle nose, struck 

match, smoke and bramble, a 

little wildness too. A game of 

two halves perhaps, as the palate 

is bold with intense grapefruit, 

orange, mandarin, dried herbs 

and nuts. 

There’s complexity on this 

finely balanced, silky palate; a 

zesty rush of acidity on the close 

keeps this clean as a whistle, 

while time sees an attractive 

chewiness evolve. 

www.pegasusbay.com 

NV Untitled Pink Blend 

Price: $20 


Multi region and variety blend. 

Youthful, fresh and complex 

nose of strawberry, apple skin, 

citrus peel, peach and wine gum. 

Creamy and attractive palate of 

mixed berries apple and musk 

moving into some savoury notes. 

Delightfully, bright and zesty, dry 

finish that hangs in your mouth. 

A neat each-way bet here, both 

as an aperitif, or with food. 

www.untitled.nz 

NV Untitled White Blend 

Price: $25 

Rating: Very good 

Multi vintage, variety and 

region blend. Fragrant nose 

that evokes tropical fruit salad. 

Creamy entry, a crisp, fresh 

palate with notes of cooked 

apple, pip fruits, toffee and 

a refreshing, ripe grapefruit 

character that gives zestiness. 

Fresh and appealing drinking 

with a little wisp of salinity on 

the finish that gets the salivary 

glands going. 

NV Untitled Red Blend 

Price: $30 


Intriguing multi vintage, multi 

region and multi variety wine 

with a nose of red fruits, malt 

biscuits, wild herbs and a tangy, 

resiny note. 

This nods its hat to Europe, 

its tanginess and juicy, 

crunchiness suggesting a Kiwi 

Beaujolais. 

Fresh, bright, vibrant, nicely 

balanced with an appealing 

bittersweet element before 

flowing to a long, cool, dry 

finish.

Eat healthy using delicious ingredients 

Salads never need to 

be boring, as seasonal 

ingredients are just that 

– seasonal. Winter brings 

delicious flavours and 

textures which go great with 

grains. But don’t forget to 

add a punchy dressing 

Buckwheat with 

autumn vegetables and 

pomegranate dressing 

Ingredients 

250g buckwheat groats, rinsed 

well 

1 bulb fennel, cut into thin 

wedges 

250g pumpkin, peeled and 

deseeded, cut into cubes 

1 red onion, peeled and cut into 

wedges 

¼ cup parsley, roughly chopped 

2 Tbsp fennel tops, roughly 

chopped 

Dressing 

2 Tbsp pomegranate molasses 

1 Tbsp maple syrup 

4 Tbsp olive oil 

¼ tsp ground cinnamon 

Pinch of salt 

Directions 

Heat the oven to 200 deg C. 

Bring a medium-sized pot of 

lightly-salted water to the boil. 

Add the rinsed buckwheat and 

cook for 25-35min. The groats 

should be tender when cooked. 

Drain and rinse under cold 

water. Put into a large bowl. 

While the groats are cooking, 

prepare the vegetables. 

Put the chopped vegetables 

into a bowl with enough olive 

oil to coat them well. Season 

with salt and cracked pepper. 

Toss to combine. Spread evenly 

over a suitably-sized oven dish. 

Roast, turning occasionally so 

the vegetables cook evenly and 

colour all over (30min). 

Add the ingredients together 

and pour over the dressing in a 

small bowl and whisk together. 

Add the roasted vegetables to 

the cooked buckwheat, drizzle 

over the dressing and add the 

herbs. Toss gently to combine, 

taste and adjust, seasoning if 

necessary. 

Top off your healthy salad 

with a nutritious treat 

Hazelnut bliss balls 

Ingredients 

½ cup hazelnuts 

½ orange (juice and grated zest) 

1 cup fine coconut 

1 Tbsp coconut oil 

½ tsp cinnamon 

1 Tbsp dark cacao powder 

1 tsp vanilla essence 

Pinch of salt 

Chunks of your favourite (storebought) 

dark chocolate for the 

centre of each bliss ball. 

Directions 

Place all the bliss ball 

ingredients (except the chunks 

of chocolate) into a bowl and 

mix well. Then roll balls out of 

the mixture. 

Push a chunk of chocolate into 

the centre of each bliss ball while 

shaping them in your hands. You 

can choose how big you make 

the bliss balls.

BMW X5 – performance with comfort 

Motoring 

Ross Kiddie 

THE LAST place I expected to 

see a brand new BMW X5 was in 

Cootamundra, a small town near 

the New South Wales/Victoria 

border. 

I had been to a rock concert in 

Sydney, and took the train to Melbourne 

to have a few days at the 

formula one grand prix event. 

I spotted the latest generation 

sport utility vehicle sitting in a 

car park near the railway station 

and, although I couldn’t see the 

nomenclature it had a remarkable 

resemblance to the very car 

I picked up soon after my return 

home – it was even the same 

colour – white. 

BMW New Zealand is landing 

the X5 here in three specifications 

at launch, with other variants sure 

to follow. At present there is the 

choice of two six-cylinder 3-litre 

diesels or a 3-litre six-cylinder 

petrol engine. The test car was 

the xDrive30d, the entry model 

at $135,200. The other variants 

are the xDrive40i at $147,900 and 

M50d at $177,900. The new X5 is 

true to its heritage, it is the large 

sport utility vehicle that impresses 

with its build quality, performance 

and economy. 

It is also chock full of specification, 

the list is way too long 

to detail considering it was also 

fitted with many of the specification 

items from BMW’s long list 

of optional extras. 

Personally, I could do without 

all the bells and whistles, the X5 

is a car with purpose, it is there 

for the family car buyer who also 

needs practicality, and it does that 

well within its design parameter, 

even though it is just a five-seater 

only. Comfort levels are high, 

and the X5 travels quietly and 

smoothly. 

Much of the latter is due to the 

sophistication within the suspension 

and driveline. BMW rates 

the 2993cc diesel at 195kW and 

620Nm; as a performance car 

builder, the company has produced 

an engine with remarkable 

outputs, both developed low in 

the rev band at 4000rpm and 

2000rpm respectively. 

Drive is passed through an 

eight-speed transmission to all 

four wheels, this process almost 

seamless and contributes to the 

refinement of the entire package, 

it’s uncanny how the gearbox can 

harness the high power outputs 

without notice. There are also 

several drive modes which can be 

BMW X5: Serious four-wheel-drive system. 

tempered to suit each individual’s 

driving preference. 

In terms of performance, the 

big X5 has a solid turn of speed, 

it will accelerate to 100km/h in 

6.8sec, and will return a fuel usage 

combined cycle average of 7.2-litre 

per 100km (39mpg), that fits 

with the evaluation car’s readout, 

it was showing a constant average 

of around 8.8l/100km (32mpg). 

It also showed a 5.5l/100km 

(51mpg) instantaneous figure at a 

steady 100km/h cruise, the engine 

unstressed at a lowly 1300rpm. 

On the road, the X5 cruises 

with much dignity and poise, as 

you would expect from a luxury 

European car. I drove the fabulous 

high country roads taking 

in State Highway 72, the scenic 

route between Canterbury’s two 

main river gorges. 

The X5 has handling and control 

that is akin to models from 

the company that has such an enviable 

sporty car heritage. I’m not 

saying the X5 is a sports car but it 

does have attributes that draws in 

that technique as a car maker. The 

30d rides on huge 22in wheels 

and that contributes greatly as to 

how the X5 feels from behind the 

wheel, not withstanding that fourwheel-drive 

enhances grip in the 

first instance. 

The X5 buyer can push quickly 

into a corner with the knowledge 

that it has ability, and offers reassurance 

at the same time. While 

• Price – BMW X5 30d, 

$135,200 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4922mm; width, 

2004mm; height, 1745mm 

• Configuration – Sixcylinder, 

four-wheel-drive, 

2993cc, 195kW, 620Nm, 

eight-speed automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 6.8sec 

• Fuel usage – 7.2l/100km 

its handling and surety must be 

described as well above average, 

it does so without compromising 

comfort, body movement is well 

controlled without the spring 

and damper rates being overly 

firmed. 

As I’ve alluded to, the X5 is a 

large SUV, it sits at just under 

5m and it has a wealth of internal 

space so that occupants can 

spread out and enjoy the associated 

benefits. If you think that 

comes at the cost of rear load 

space, that’s certainly not the case, 

BMW claims an 645-litre cargo 

carrying capacity, stretching to 

1860-litres with the rear seats 

folded flat. 

The X5 has carved out a healthy 

part of New Zealand’s SUV 

market, the new model will only 

add to its appeal, it’s a versatile, 

practical all-rounder, and one 

which through its quality build 

will serve and last for many years. 

I certainly hope to get a drive 

with the other engine choices.

4 car-garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing Number SM0222 


BAY HARBOUR 

PAGE 21 

This striking executive home makes 

an immediate impression and enjoys 

an irreplaceable dress circle position 

opposite Nicholson Park at the top of 

Scarborough Hill. Incredibly positioned 

with breathtaking 270˚ views that cannot 

be built out over Sumner Beach and the 

city with a backdrop of the Southern Alps 

and the Kaikoura Ranges. 

This spectacular level corner site was a 

determining factor in the distinctive design 

by acclaimed architect Alick Bellerby which 

won ‘house of the year’ on completion. 

Spread over a 360sqm of approximate 

floor plan with generously proportioned 

living areas, 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 

level access to 4 car garaging. 

The kitchen is the hub of the home 

connecting 2 of the living rooms. Warm oak 

floors and full height windows flood the 

home with warmth and light and optimise 

the sea views. A separate downstairs media 

room is a great space for teenagers, a work 

from home office space or maybe a gym. 

Look out over the manicured gardens 

or step outside to a private Halswell stone 

courtyard and BBQ area. Here you have 

the ability to host everything from intimate 

dinner parties to large gatherings in a very 

private and sheltered setting. 

The established and easily maintained 

1613sqm grounds include level lawns, rose 

gardens, planted borders and offers an 

enviable microclimate with total privacy. 

Located between Sumner Beach and 

Taylors Mistake Beach, allows plenty of 

recreational pleasures such as surfing, 

boating, walking and cycling right on your 

doorstep. While close by in the Sumner 

Village you can enjoy the cafes, restaurants, 

library and boutique shops. 

Sublime design, superior construction 

and a prestigious location combine to make 

this a compelling lifestyle offering. With 

our owner now committed to Auckland 

you could secure this home for immediate 

possession. Present all offers. 

Open Homes: Sunday 14 July 2:00pm -

SOVEREIGN PAGE 27 

To give you a genuine swimming experience the X-Series delivers stronger 

resistance and less turbulence than ordinary jetted swim spas. The design 

features five jets - three on top for resistance and two underneath for lift – that 

create a smooth, air-free current for superior low-impact, total-body exercise. 

Need a spa that fits a narrow patio or backyard? The Sovereign is spacious 

enough for 6 adults to relax in comfort and features a more rectangular shape 

to fit in tighter spaces. It includes all the luxury features from the Highlife® 

Collection with a lounge seat featuring our patented Moto-Massage® DX jet.
