Teaching others to lava volcano<br />

CLEVER: Associate professor and volcanologist Ben Kennedy has won Canterbury University’s highest teaching award.<br />

• By Sophie Cornish<br />

SUMNER volcanologist Ben<br />

Kennedy liked blowing up<br />

vinegar and baking soda when<br />

he was a young boy. Now he<br />

travels the world studying lava<br />

at active sites and has used his<br />

experiences, as well as years of<br />

study, to educate others on how<br />

and why volcanoes erupt.<br />

Dr Kennedy has won<br />

Canterbury University’s highest<br />

teaching award. The associate<br />

Lyttelton and Sumner<br />

Seawall will<br />

need to be<br />

rebuilt to<br />

protect<br />

coast from<br />

future storms<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

AN EXPERT says the Sumner<br />

Esplanade rock retaining wall<br />

will need to be rebuilt.<br />

Otago University associate<br />

geography professor Mike Hilton<br />

said if the 1.2km seawall is not<br />

rebuilt within 10 years or so,<br />

there will be an<br />

increased risk of<br />

exposure to waves<br />

coming over the<br />

wall.<br />

Prof Hilton<br />

has examined a<br />

report on the wall<br />

from engineering<br />

Mike Hilton<br />

consultant, Jacobs, which found<br />

there are 19 points along the wall<br />

where repairs are required.<br />

However, Prof Hilton<br />

said there is no immediate<br />

danger.<br />

“In the next few years, the<br />

storm surge on that coast is not<br />

particularly large. However,<br />

when you look beyond the<br />

short-term to the medium-term,<br />

those storms are going to get<br />

significantly larger and will have<br />

a greater impact because the sea<br />

level will be higher,” he said.<br />

INTERESTING STUFF about the state of<br />

the sea wall in Sumner (see page 1).<br />

University professor Mike Hilton said if<br />

the 1.2km sea wall is not rebuilt within 10<br />

years or so, there will be an increased risk<br />

of exposure to waves coming over the wall.<br />

His insight comes after a report found 19 points along the wall<br />

need to be repaired.<br />

Climate change, rising sea levels and storm surges will all<br />

combine in the future to potentially cause issues. But the city<br />

council is confident a set back wall will prevent flooding.<br />

However, community board member Darrell Latham says<br />

there is a strong case for rebuilding the wall.<br />

On another note, he has been cleared over the code of conduct<br />

complaint (page 5).<br />

Trees pay respect to terror victims<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

FIFTY-ONE TREES bursting<br />

with colour will soon stand tall<br />

in Cass <strong>Bay</strong> to remember those<br />

who were killed in the March 15<br />

terror attacks.<br />

Among displays of red, green<br />

and pink – kowhai trees will<br />

pay tribute to 14-year-old victim<br />

Sayyad Milne, whose favourite<br />

colour was yellow.<br />

A planting event held at<br />

Pony Point Reserve on<br />

Sunday was the idea of nineyear-old<br />

Harry Tayler, of Cass<br />

<strong>Bay</strong>, who adored Sayyad during<br />

their “special” three-year<br />

friendship.<br />

Sayyad was a senior at Harry’s<br />

current school, Lyttelton Primary<br />

School, two years ago before<br />

he moved on to Cashmere High<br />

School.<br />

Upset after losing Sayyad,<br />

Harry decided to fundraise<br />

$420 for the tree seedlings<br />

himself by collecting donations<br />

and reselling used bikes.<br />

About 100 volunteers were<br />

involved, including Sayyad’s<br />

family, residents, members of<br />

the Active Muslim Explorers<br />

rising leaders and Canterbury<br />

University’s Muslim Students’<br />

Association.<br />

Before he died, Sayyad was<br />

a part of AME with his sister,<br />

Cahaya, and his brother,<br />

Shuayb.<br />

AME is a programme for<br />

intermediate to high school students,<br />

started in 2016 to encourage<br />

young people to become role<br />

models for their peers in the<br />

community.<br />

Sayyad’s mother, Noraini, said<br />

she was proud her son showed<br />

the qualities of a leader.<br />

Cass <strong>Bay</strong> Reserve Management<br />

Committee chairwoman<br />

Jenny Healey organised the<br />

planting day.<br />

“There was an amazing<br />

atmosphere and warmth which<br />

could be felt during the event,”<br />

she said.<br />

She said planting colourful<br />

trees was chosen as a useful<br />

way to pay respect to the victims,<br />

as it would attract and feed<br />

birds and provide a tranquil<br />

space for the Muslim community<br />

to visit.<br />

BIG<br />

TURNOUT:<br />

About 100<br />

volunteers<br />

were<br />

involved<br />

in the<br />

planting of<br />

51 trees to<br />

remember<br />

the March<br />

15 terror<br />

attack<br />

victims,<br />

including<br />

the family<br />

of Sayyad<br />

Milne (inset). ​<br />

It also tied in with the Muslim<br />

belief that planting trees provides<br />

a gift of service.<br />

At the event, Harry was gifted<br />

Sayyad’s football by his father.<br />

The ball, which was Sayyad’s<br />

14th-birthday present, was<br />

placed at the memorial wall<br />

at Al Noor Mosque following<br />

March 15.<br />

Sayyad loved football and<br />

aimed to play professionally<br />

overseas.<br />

In Brief<br />

TOILETS UNDER SCRUTINY<br />

City council staff will investigate<br />

options for public toilet upgrades<br />

in Lyttelton. The Banks Peninsula<br />

Community Board requested that<br />

staff look at improving facilities at<br />

the Information Centre and Albion<br />

Square after it received a letter<br />

of correspondence at its meeting<br />

on Monday. It suggested the city<br />

council’s plan to increase the<br />

frequency of cleaning of the current<br />

public toilets was not enough and<br />

that a proper refurbishment should<br />

be carried out before summer.<br />

Meanwhile, the city council wants<br />

the public to have its say on a<br />

proposal to replace the existing<br />

Cass <strong>Bay</strong> toilets with new, fully<br />

accessible toilet blocks that also<br />

function as changing rooms.<br />

Consultation is open until <strong>August</strong><br />

DEFENCE: Darrell Latham says the Sumner seawall needs to<br />

be maintained.<br />

PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />

Strong case for<br />

rebuilding seawall<br />

•From page 1<br />

City council manager of<br />

regional parks Kay Holder said<br />

there are no plans to rebuild the<br />

wall.<br />

“We know that in large<br />

storms, seawater can overtop<br />

the revetment, however, the<br />

water is then contained by the<br />

setback wall, which separates the<br />

promenade from the Esplanade,”<br />

she said.<br />

“The whole structure provides<br />

two lines of defence, which<br />

effectively manages existing sealevel<br />

conditions. We’ll be using<br />

the findings of this report to help<br />

prepare a multi-year repairs and<br />

strategy work programme.”<br />

Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />

Community Board member<br />

Darrell Latham said there is a<br />

strong case for rebuilding the<br />

wall.<br />

“The community needs the<br />

reassurance that the seawall is<br />

not only well maintained but<br />

designed to optimum and ideal<br />

standards and is fully fit for<br />

purpose,” he said.<br />

Award for Sumner volcanologist<br />

•From page 1<br />

In Vancouver, Canada, Dr<br />

Kennedy did a post-doctorate<br />

on teaching, with training from<br />

Nobel Prize winning scientist<br />

Carl Wieman.<br />

“That’s how this teaching<br />

award kind of came about,<br />

because I spent a lot of time<br />

researching good ways to teach,”<br />

he said.<br />

Dr Kennedy has been teaching<br />

at Canterbury University for<br />

10 years, and now works in a<br />

facility where rock can be melted<br />

to make lava.<br />

“We can do experiments<br />

and pour it out down a lava flow.<br />

We also have a cannon here that<br />

can fire rocks at things, so we<br />

can see for example if your roof<br />

is strong enough to withstand an<br />

impact from a volcanic bomb.<br />

We’re the only lab with that in<br />

New Zealand.”<br />

His sons Noah, 8, and Viggo,<br />

5, share the same passion.<br />

“Viggo loves doing<br />

experiments, it drives me<br />

up the wall. We go through<br />

more baking soda and vinegar<br />

than any other family on the<br />

planet.”<br />

Dr Kennedy has travelled to<br />

Vanuatu, Chile and Hawaii,<br />

among other places, to see active<br />

volcanoes and experiment with<br />

lava.<br />

filmed a show called Lava<br />

Low interest in community building<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

AN EMPTY building available<br />

for lease at the old Redcliffs<br />

School site has struggled to<br />

gain interest from community<br />

groups.<br />

Redcliffs Residents’<br />

Association chairwoman<br />

Christine Toner sent out more<br />

than 200 emails<br />

to help the city<br />

council find a<br />

group which<br />

wants to lease the<br />

building.<br />

However,<br />

after very few<br />

Christine<br />

expressions of<br />

interest, the<br />

association<br />

Toner<br />

wants to form either a new<br />

sub-committee or independent<br />

group to lease and manage it.<br />

The modern building, which<br />

is owned by the city council,<br />

has four rooms and opens out<br />

on to a courtyard overlooking<br />

Redcliffs Park and playing fields.<br />

“It’s such a good building and<br />

I’m sure eventually people will<br />

realise it’s too good to pass up,”<br />

said Ms Toner.<br />

She said the association does<br />

not have an interest in leasing or<br />

managing the building itself.<br />

“It’s still important that it’s<br />

managed locally. We don’t want<br />

a commercial user or somebody<br />

far away being in charge of the<br />

EMPTY: The Redcliffs Residents’ Association wants the empty<br />

council-owned building at the old Redcliffs School site to be<br />

managed by a community group or organisation.<br />

building, that’s why I’m stepping<br />

up and trying to organise this.”<br />

City council head of parks<br />

Andrew Rutledge said staff are<br />

currently conducting an open<br />

expression of interest process to<br />

find occupants for the building.<br />

The occupants would be<br />

expected to have a building<br />

manager who would oversee<br />

bookings, insurance, security<br />

and cleaning, among other<br />

things.<br />

A meeting will be held on<br />

<strong>August</strong> 16 at the building<br />

for residents, groups and<br />

organisations to learn more.<br />

Once that has been completed<br />

a further request for proposals<br />

will follow, with the results<br />

and lease recommendations<br />

then presented to the Linwood-<br />

Central-Heathcote Community<br />

Board for a final decision.<br />

Latham cleared of code<br />

of conduct complaint<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

THE CITY council has chosen<br />

not to proceed with code of<br />

conduct complaints against<br />

Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />

Community Board member<br />

Darrell Latham.<br />

Dr Latham was one of three<br />

individuals to be cleared over<br />

the code of conduct complaints<br />

relating to allegations city council<br />

staff tampered with the District<br />

Plan. The complaints against<br />

Coastal-Burwood Community<br />

Board chairwoman Kim Money<br />

and deputy chairman Tim Sintes<br />

were also resolved.<br />

The board members had<br />

been facing the code of conduct<br />

complaints since September.<br />

Their allegation city council staff<br />

had tampered with the District<br />

Plan led to Greater Christchurch<br />

Regeneration Minister Megan<br />

Woods approving the city<br />

council’s proposal to amend it.<br />

They claimed city council<br />

staff omitted a clause which<br />

gave leeway to people in specific<br />

coastal areas, deemed at risk of<br />

flooding, to build and extend<br />

homes.<br />

However, an audit which the<br />

city council commissioned,<br />

by Environment Canterbury<br />

councillor and former<br />

Environment Court judge Peter<br />

Skelton found there never was a<br />

missing clause.<br />

Said Dr Latham: ‘’It was very<br />

disappointing that the previous<br />

CEO relentlessly pursued the<br />

process and wasted ratepayers’<br />

money when legal advice found<br />

that community board members<br />

are not bound by the council’s<br />

code of conduct.<br />

“I took the actions that I<br />

would expect that any elected<br />

representative would do for me<br />

and I would do it all again for my<br />

community if required.”<br />

Mrs Everingham<br />

wants to ensure more<br />

transparent and open<br />

decision-making and said<br />

city council seminars<br />

with staff, city councillors<br />

and community board<br />

members should be open<br />

to the public.<br />

She believes there should<br />

be no decision-making<br />

behind closed doors.<br />

“The more open the<br />

system, the more faith<br />

people can have in the<br />

outcomes,” she said.<br />

Mrs Everingham believes<br />

a key to satisfactory<br />

outcomes for smaller<br />

places will be to let<br />

communities take more<br />

responsibility for their<br />

areas.<br />

She wants the city<br />

council to acknowledge it<br />

does not have the resources<br />

to actively manage all<br />

the areas that need to be<br />

looked after, and when<br />

communities want to<br />

help out, they should be<br />

resourced to manage their<br />

own assets.<br />

Eco-village idea for Redcliffs<br />

CLOCK TOWER REPAIRS<br />

Structural repairs to Sumner’s<br />

Scarborough Clock Tower are set<br />

to start this week, with internal<br />

work starting today. The tower,<br />

built in the 1930s, has damage<br />

that is the result of earthquake,<br />

historical and environmental<br />

factors. Work is expected to be<br />

complete by November.<br />

CAR FIRE<br />

The Sumner Volunteer Fire<br />

Brigade attended a car fire on<br />

Evans Pass at 11pm on Saturday.<br />

One vehicle with six crew spent<br />

about 30 minutes extinguishing<br />

the fire. Police also attended but<br />

were unable to determine the<br />

cause of the fire.<br />

NAVAL POINT FEEDBACK<br />

The city council received more<br />

than 300 responses from people,<br />

groups and organisations for<br />

the public consultation on the<br />

development of Naval Point.<br />

Feedback will be made public<br />

once it has been analysed, which<br />

is likely to take around four weeks<br />

due to the number and length<br />

of submissions received. It is<br />

the first of two rounds of public<br />

consultation that are being<br />

carried out. The initial round<br />

will help form a development<br />

plan, which the public will get to<br />

comment on through a second<br />

feedback round.<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

DAVID BRYCE wants to turn<br />

Redcliffs into the city’s first<br />

eco-village.<br />

A new draft strategy<br />

developed by Mr Bryce, 71,<br />

with the Redcliffs Residents’<br />

Association, aims to help the<br />

community reduce its impact on<br />

the environment.<br />

It comes after the city council’s<br />

decision to declare a climate and<br />

ecological emergency in May.<br />

Mr Bryce, an ex-resource<br />

management consultant, has<br />

been passionate about the<br />

environment for as long as he<br />

can remember.<br />

The plan proposes residents<br />

follow a list of 20 actions,<br />

including reducing fossilfuelled<br />

vehicle travel, growing<br />

a vegetable garden, picking up<br />

litter and reducing household<br />

energy.<br />

“It’s just a start, there are<br />

hundreds of different things that<br />

people do,” Mr Bryce said.<br />

Residents who want to take<br />

part can measure how they are<br />

reducing their environmental<br />

impact at www.enviro-mark.com,<br />

which has a calculator to compare<br />

household CO2 emissions with<br />

the New Zealand average.<br />

The goal is for residents to<br />

reduce their emissions by one<br />

per cent each month so they are<br />

halved by 2030.<br />

“We are very keen for other<br />

areas to follow the same path.<br />

If they did then we would have<br />

a totally different country, and<br />

world, for that matter,” he said.<br />

The first public meeting and<br />

discussion on the strategy will<br />

be on <strong>August</strong> 14 at 7.30pm in the<br />

Mt Pleasant Bowling Club and<br />

Function Centre on James St.<br />

Following the meeting other<br />

events will be organised, such<br />

as documentary screenings,<br />

public talks with guest speakers,<br />

workshops, working bees and<br />

tours around eco-homes to<br />

promote the strategy.<br />

Mr Bryce retired at 56<br />

after he became frustrated<br />

with developers who did not<br />

want to do more than they<br />

had to in terms of addressing<br />

environmental issues.<br />

He then developed Ti Kouka<br />

Eco Lane, an environmentallyfriendly,<br />

12-lot subdivision. It<br />

has extensive use of site-rock,<br />

minimal pavement, stormwater<br />

swales, high solar access,<br />

extensive indigenous plantings<br />

for micro-climates and wildlife<br />

habitat, and solar lighting.<br />

CHOICE: David<br />

Bryce, who lives<br />

in an eco-home<br />

surrounded with<br />

native trees and<br />

bush, wants to<br />

turn Redcliffs into<br />

an eco-village.<br />

PHOTOS:<br />

MARTIN HUNTER<br />

Mr Bryce lives nearby in his<br />

eco-home, where he and his<br />

wife grow their own fruit and<br />

vegetables.<br />

“We’ve got a little ecocommunity<br />

here, it’s just a<br />

matter of making it into an even<br />

bigger one with the whole of<br />

Redcliffs.”<br />

Designer turns heads<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

Lucy Hill<br />

EIGHTEEN-YEAR-OLD Lucy<br />

Hill, of Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong>,<br />

has proven that when you mix<br />

yellow with purple, you get<br />

success.<br />

The Hagley School of Fashion<br />

student won<br />

<strong>2019</strong> Young<br />

Designer<br />

of the Year<br />

on July 27<br />

at the MLT<br />

Hokonui<br />

Fashion Design<br />

Awards<br />

in Gore for<br />

her Open Nightlife entry.<br />

Lucy’s dress, made of bright<br />

yellow faux-fur and purple lace<br />

trimmings with a picture of one<br />

of her paintings in the centre,<br />

was the product of 10 weeks of<br />

work.<br />

The painting represents an<br />

exploration of the human form<br />

and gender roles.<br />

The awards took place at a<br />

transformed Gore Town &<br />

Country Club Stadium before<br />

an appreciative audience of 700,<br />

hailing from as far afield as<br />

China.<br />

It was Lucy’s first time bagging<br />

any prizes in her second year<br />

entering the Hokonui fashion<br />

awards – and she was surprised<br />

her hard work had paid off.<br />

“Cutting up the fur was a<br />

What dastardly thing could I have<br />

The truth is we’re off on holiday.<br />

No, we didn’t book it in the last<br />

week, this is a serious trip.<br />

We are going to Italy to spend<br />

five weeks with Laura’s family in<br />

the village where she grew up.<br />

Apart from the excitement of<br />

getting in a bonus summer with<br />

easy access to the beach and<br />

nightmare,” she said.<br />

The garment has earned her<br />

free flights and accommodation<br />

to New Zealand Fashion Week<br />

in Auckland from <strong>August</strong> 26 to<br />

September 1, as well as monetary<br />

prizes.<br />

Lucy is in her second year at<br />

Hagley School of Fashion and<br />

has always had an interest in the<br />

subject.<br />

good reading for you next week.<br />

But before all that we’ve still got to<br />

get all the packing out of the way.<br />

Which is a whole lot more<br />

tactical with a toddler than it was<br />

before she was born.<br />

My clothes and essentials took<br />

about the usual five minutes to get<br />

together and Laura’s packing took<br />

much longer, as per standard.<br />

But getting Vittoria’s things together<br />

was much more involved.<br />

“I think it’s really interesting<br />

how everyone can express themselves<br />

through fashion.”<br />

Head of fashion Vicki Dixon<br />

said it was very exciting to see<br />

Lucy’s design do so well.<br />

“She’s a true artist – she’s a<br />

painter, a print-maker, and does<br />

ceramics. She’s very talented,”<br />

Ms Dixon said.<br />

Speaking on behalf of fellow<br />

judges Sally-Ann Mullin and<br />

Wynn Crawshaw, Sara Munro,<br />

of Company of Strangers,<br />

Dunedin, praised the “amazing”<br />

calibre of entries from schools,<br />

and from those entering the<br />

open sections.<br />

The judging panel had scoured<br />

more than 340 garments from<br />

250 entrants to identify section<br />

and overall winners, and had<br />

been “astonished” by the level of<br />

skill and attention to detail, she<br />

said.<br />

Southern designers were<br />

well represented among open<br />

section winners, including Viv<br />

Tamblyn, of Gore, in the Open<br />

Streetwear section and Debbie<br />

Smith, of Waimumu, in the<br />

Open Recycled section.<br />

Founder Heather Paterson’s<br />

husband, Wade, who kept the<br />

event going following her death<br />

in 2015, announced on Saturday<br />

night his family’s continued<br />

sponsorship of the awards until<br />

2024.<br />

Cable powered up<br />

LYTTELTON’S new 11kV<br />

electricity cable through the road<br />

tunnel was switched on by Orion<br />

last Wednesday.<br />

The $3 million, 2.2km cable<br />

runs through the Lyttelton<br />

tunnel and connects up with Lyttelton’s<br />

electricity grid at Orion’s<br />

Dublin St substation.<br />

The cable was expected to be<br />

fully operational by the end of<br />

May but was delayed while other<br />

works were being undertaken in<br />

the area to ensure the integrity of<br />

the cable.<br />

The service will boost the<br />

capacity, resilience and reliability<br />

of the power service to the Lyttelton,<br />

Corsair <strong>Bay</strong> and Cass <strong>Bay</strong><br />

community.<br />

The project is the culmination<br />

of three years of work by<br />

Orion to address reliability and<br />

resilience issues with the power<br />

supply to Lyttelton.<br />

Said Deputy Mayor and Banks<br />

Peninsula councillor Andrew<br />

Turner: “This increased resilience<br />

in the power network is important<br />

to the Lyttelton area. It gives<br />

more security to the people living<br />

here, and to the businesses operating<br />

in this community.”<br />

Orion general manager of<br />

infrastructure Steve Macdonald<br />

said the new cable will operate<br />

in tandem with the existing two<br />

11kV power supply lines that run<br />

over the Port Hills.<br />

Obviously, as a husband, I’m<br />

completely unqualified to do that<br />

unsupervised, so I’ve provided<br />

consultation on the content of Vittoria’s<br />

bag about three times.<br />

Once we were reasonably confident<br />

that Vittoria had enough<br />

clothes in everyone’s bags (just in<br />

case), it was time to move on to<br />

all of the other things – food, toys,<br />

books, distractions, medicines. The<br />

list goes on and likely won’t be complete<br />

until minutes before take-off.<br />

It won’t be Vittoria’s first flight,<br />

but I doubt she remembers her<br />

last one. She cried for like 10<br />

minutes when we took off and I<br />

stress-sweated like I was one the<br />

surface of the sun.<br />

So fingers crossed that the power<br />

of occasional walks, copious episodes<br />

of Pingu and in-flight snacks<br />

will prevent meltdowns and keep<br />

my armpits dry for as much of the<br />

24-hour flight as possible.<br />

It may or may not be enjoyable.<br />

“The lines over the hill are<br />

vulnerable to weather, vegetation<br />

and pests. With the cable<br />

protected in the tunnel, we have<br />

alternatives to keep the power on.<br />

“The port is an essential lifeline<br />

writes about<br />

the Sumner<br />

Art Society,<br />

which is<br />

popular for<br />

its weekly<br />

painting<br />

groups and annual art<br />

exhibitions<br />

IT HAS BEEN 70 years since<br />

artists in the Sumner area<br />

first met at Sumner artist Reg<br />

Holcroft’s home to paint, critique<br />

and support each other by<br />

forming the Sumner Art Society<br />

and it is still going strong.<br />

Early members of the<br />

group like 93-year-old Ralph<br />

Woodward are still actively<br />

creating and learning new<br />

methods, and many others –<br />

such as Beth Cook, Ruth Palmer<br />

and Helen Egglestone to name a<br />

few – regularly attend the weekly<br />

painting group and pass on<br />

their extensive knowledge of the<br />

mysteries of watercolour.<br />

Although the earthquakes<br />

have resulted in many residents<br />

moving away and therefore a<br />

much-reduced membership,<br />

new residents are joining the<br />

Wednesday painting group, so it<br />

continues to grow and flourish<br />

as will be seen in the much<br />

anticipated annual exhibition<br />

to be held at the Redcliffs Mt<br />

Pleasant Bowling Club from<br />

SENIOR LIVING<br />

<strong>August</strong> 9-11. Please mark it in<br />

your calendars.<br />

Our member of Parliament<br />

Ruth Dyson will open the<br />

exhibition at 5pm on Friday<br />

so come along and thank her<br />

for her sterling work on our<br />

behalf as she steps down from<br />

the political arena and take<br />

the opportunity to view and<br />

purchase items on Friday night.<br />

The exhibition will also run<br />

between 10am and 4pm on<br />

Saturday and Sunday.<br />

The Sumner Art Society<br />

maintains, throughout the year,<br />

a regularly changing exhibition<br />

The Wednesday painting<br />

group exhibited successfully at<br />

the Christchurch South Library<br />

again this year, as this library<br />

has a policy of promoting<br />

community initiatives. The<br />

opportunity to hang larger<br />

works in such an open space is<br />

always exciting.<br />

Luckily these artists have<br />

many more new paintings to<br />

show, along with works from the<br />

other members of the Sumner<br />

Art Society, presenting large as<br />

well as small pictures in a wide<br />

range of mediums to enliven<br />

your homes.<br />

Come along, meet the artists,<br />

area<br />

Christchurch Coastal<br />

Pathway Group chairman<br />

Scott Babington – It was<br />

great to read the article in the<br />

<strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News about work at<br />

Penfold’s Cottage finally going<br />

ahead.<br />

It has been such a shame to<br />

have this historic asset under<br />

covers since the earthquakes.<br />

There has been a lot of consultation<br />

about this, and no action.<br />

It will be a great asset, and<br />

point of interest, on the coastal<br />

pathway. We were initially unsure<br />

about the clear glass, but the<br />

plans sound interesting and there<br />

is so much history to show.<br />

I think that it is<br />

unique in a New<br />

Zealand city, especially<br />

near the place that it<br />

was originally built.<br />

Hopefully, it will be<br />

further enhanced by a<br />

more suitable historic<br />

planting, which should<br />

compliment the surrounding<br />

native planting.<br />

Andrew Docking – I haven’t<br />

commented on the cottage<br />

before but the thought of wasting<br />

$530,000 on this when it will<br />

provide no returns seems crazy.<br />

A good place for an ice cream<br />

shop, chippy shop or cafe maybe.<br />

The history of the cob house is<br />

pretty average, to say the least,<br />

and doesn’t need to be celebrated<br />

this way. There must be other<br />

places to spend this amount of<br />

money that are more fruitful for<br />

us poor old ratepayers.<br />

Edward Foate – We think<br />

the news that Richard Pebbles is<br />

heading the development of The<br />

Woolstore tenancies is<br />

absolutely fantastic.<br />

We live above the<br />

marina in our recently<br />

finished home and have<br />

been watching with interest<br />

and a touch of caution<br />

in the hope it would<br />

be approached properly<br />

and with a longer-term<br />

view for success and not<br />

in a piecemeal fashion.<br />

This alongside the potential<br />

new navel point development<br />

and Collett’s Corner development<br />

will reinvigorate Lyttelton<br />

and hopefully reach the tipping<br />

point for sustainable development<br />

and business success for all<br />

of Lyttelton. Lyttelton will be a<br />

true destination. Still along way<br />

to go but positive signs.<br />

Advertising Feature<br />

When people think about moving into a<br />

retirement village or rest home, they<br />

sometimes worry about a loss of freedom.<br />

Ensuring our residents have choice<br />

and variety are key priorities at Nazareth<br />

Community of Care.<br />

Offering continuum of care, we have<br />

65 architecturally designed two and three<br />

bedroom, two bathroom villas, and<br />

Nazareth House, our spacious 80 bed rest<br />

home and hospital.<br />

We respect all faiths. Residents are<br />

welcome to spend some quiet time in our<br />

on-site chapel or join our daily services.<br />

Whether you’re in a villa or living at<br />

Nazareth House, we will work hard to<br />

meet your individual needs – in a secure<br />

and friendly environment.<br />

Your family and friends are always<br />

welcome. The rest home has four large<br />

lounges, each with Sky TV, and eight<br />

smaller lounges, four of these with a<br />

fridge and tea and coffee making facilities.<br />

A community within a community,<br />

Nazareth incorporates a market style<br />

square, featuring amenities such as a<br />

café, hairdresser, medical consulting<br />

suite, gift shop, large function space,<br />

chapel and comfortable cinema. It’s all<br />

here at Nazareth.<br />

Life is as varied outside the village as it<br />

is in, with Sydenham Bowling Club next<br />

door, The Colombo shopping centre<br />

nearby and it’s only a short drive to the<br />

city. Villa residents can do their own garden<br />

or have help from our team if they’d prefer.<br />

Raised communal garden beds mean you<br />

can grow your own vegetables and herbs.<br />

In everything we do at Nazareth<br />

Community of Care, we are guided by<br />

our values of love, respect, patience,<br />

justice, hospitality and compassion.

Auctions are still<br />

running hot!<br />

Results aren’t everything but when you boil it down, what<br />

else can you go by? Whatever the weather, whatever<br />

market conditions may prevail, sale by auction is still<br />

proving to be the most effective way to sell at Ray White<br />

Ferrymead. Our year to date auction figures are still<br />

showing sales under the hammer are occurring at a rate<br />

of 69% within 28 days of going to the market. This is<br />

in stark contrast to all other methods of sale which are<br />

taking significantly longer to achieve an unconditional<br />

sale. In fact recent figures released from REINZ show the<br />

average number of days a property stays on the market<br />

in Canterbury is now out to 47 days. The reality is when<br />

a property owner lists their property for sale they would<br />

normally expect buyers in the market are made aware their<br />

property is for sale, provide enough time for buyers to do<br />

their homework and then to receive offers for it. However,<br />

without the deadline that an auction brings buyers are not<br />

really encouraged to act with<br />

any speed, and can take their<br />

time making a decision. The<br />

consequence is that properties<br />

will spend longer languishing<br />

on the market. I’m not aware<br />

of any property owners wanting to have their property<br />

on the market for an extended period. Organising family<br />

life around inspections and open homes can be difficult<br />

enough at the best of times but to have to do this for weeks<br />

if not months on end can be hard work for even the most<br />

organised home owner.<br />

With a high success rate achieved in only 28 days, a<br />

well planned auction marketing campaign eliminates<br />

the anguish around a property being on the market any<br />

longer than it needs to be. Talk to the team at Ray White<br />

Kodiaq RS continues Skoda sport tradition<br />

Motoring<br />

Ross Kiddie<br />

THERE’S NO denying that sport<br />

utility vehicles are the cars of<br />

choice for today’s buyer. Sales<br />

figures globally are heavily biased<br />

in that direction.<br />

The choice is overwhelming,<br />

especially in the mid-size<br />

sector. If family or recreational<br />

requirements facilitate the<br />

need for an SUV, but you want<br />

something just a little bit different<br />

in your purchase – something<br />

biased towards sporty – then<br />

Skoda has the car for you, the<br />

Kodiaq RS.<br />

The Kodiaq has been with<br />

us for a year or so now, and it<br />

lands here in three variants, an<br />

entry-level model at $44,990, a<br />

high-grade Sportline at $64,990,<br />

and just recently an RS model has<br />

joined the ranks. The RS sits at<br />

$71,990 and is characterised by its<br />

flashy looks, inside and out, and<br />

high power driveline.<br />

Herein lies a secret. Under<br />

the bonnet sits a 2-litre diesel<br />

engine, and while you wouldn’t<br />

ordinarily expect diesel to be the<br />

basis for performance, you have to<br />

remember that Skoda, in the past<br />

has had many sports models with<br />

diesel engines, and I can report<br />

that is a concept the company does<br />

very well, even in motorsport.<br />

In the Kodiaq, the<br />

turbocharged four-cylinder unit<br />

pumps out 176kW and a feisty<br />

500Nm at the bottom end. The<br />

latter is the ingredient that makes<br />

the RS so special, not only is the<br />

specific output high, maximum<br />

torque is available from 1750rpm<br />

to 2500rpm, which is the area<br />

where the engine wants to<br />

constantly work. As a result, there<br />

is dynamic engine performance,<br />

mid-range boost will offer a<br />

4.2sec overtaking time (80-<br />

120km/h), and an off-the-mark<br />

time of 7sec to make 100km/h<br />

from a standstill.<br />

Even if you aren’t in a hurry,<br />

there is a constant willingness<br />

from the engine that tantalises<br />

the driver, and if you take into<br />

account there is manufactured<br />

exhaust sound which throbs<br />

constantly, the RS is hard to drive<br />

without wanting to give it some<br />

freedom.<br />

There are several drive modes,<br />

and depending on which is<br />

activated the exhaust sound can<br />

be encouraged or left in a more<br />

subtle tone. The Kodiaq is also<br />

a pretty useful off-roader, there<br />

are modes which channel power<br />

more usefully through the fourwheel-drive<br />

platform.<br />

SKODA KODIAQ RS: Sporty variant with diesel engine.<br />

There is also another element<br />

which adds spice to the<br />

driveline, power is channelled<br />

through a seven-speed direct<br />

shift transmission, and this<br />

configuration is one of my<br />

favourites.<br />

DSG is more of a manual-type<br />

gearbox, although there are only<br />

two foot pedals; the beauty of<br />

this is the lack of load through<br />

the transmission, engine power<br />

is mostly unimpeded, and<br />

with quick shifts the feeling of<br />

performance is well enhanced.<br />

I took the test car through<br />

some of the tight, hilly roads<br />

close to Sheffield, and although<br />

the weather had closed in and the<br />

roads were greasy I felt at ease in<br />

the RS. Grip in the first instance<br />

is supplied by sticky Pirelli<br />

Scorpion tyres (235/45 x 20in)<br />

and they offer substantial steering<br />

feel along with direct turn-in.<br />

It has to be remembered the<br />

Kodiaq has traditional SUV<br />

handling, it sits high at almost<br />

1.7m, and with long-travel<br />

suspension it isn’t as nimble as<br />

a sedan, however, the spring<br />

and damper rates arrest body<br />

movement well, along with the<br />

parameters that allow for high<br />

occupant comfort. You’d expect<br />

nothing less from this Czech<br />

Republic manufacturer which has<br />

drawn significant build quality<br />

direction from the Volkswagen<br />

group.<br />

Perhaps one of the most<br />

exciting aspects the RS offers is<br />

the point-to-point ability, it will<br />

lunge out of corner and blast<br />

without lag through the paddle<br />

shift system to the point where<br />

speed needs to be chiselled off,<br />

high grade brakes take care of<br />

that and with the grip naturally<br />

associated with four-wheel-drive<br />

• Price – Skoda Kodiaq RS,<br />

$71,990<br />

• Dimensions – Length,<br />

4699mm; width, 2087mm;<br />

height, 1685mm<br />

• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />

four-wheel-drive,<br />

1968cc, 176kW, 500Nm,<br />

seven-speed automatic.<br />

• Performance –<br />

0-100km/h, 7sec<br />

• Fuel usage – 7.7l/100km<br />

the RS feels well attached to the<br />

road, it is dynamic and forceful<br />

when asked to respond.<br />

This is all from a car which<br />

has a vastly different role to play<br />

as well, it is the quintessential<br />

mid-size seven-seater that also<br />

looks after its occupants in terms<br />

of fitment and specification and<br />

safety. At $72k it needs to be well<br />

appointed, and I can report it<br />

leaves little to chance.<br />

It also has fuel economy on its<br />

side, Skoda claims a combined<br />

cycle average of 7.7-litres per<br />

100km (36mpg).<br />

It takes a very special car to<br />

win the New Zealand Motoring<br />

Writer’s Guild Car of the Year<br />

Award and the Kodiaq took<br />

honours for 2017.<br />

Obviously, that recognition<br />

speaks for itself, the RS adds<br />

another ingredient into the<br />

equation, it certainly captured my<br />

attention with its performance,<br />

economy yet practicality all<br />

thrown in for good measure.<br />

Relentless:<br />

A Story of Grit and Endurance from the<br />

First Person to Kayak the Tasman Solo<br />

by Scott Donaldson<br />

The story of Scott Donaldson’s relentless journey to<br />

be the first person to cross the Tasman sea solo in a<br />

kayak<br />

Unpredictable and unforgiving, the Tasman Sea is one<br />

of the most hostile stretches of water in the world. An Australian<br />

adventurer attempted to kayak across in 20<strong>07</strong>, disappearing<br />

without a trace. In 2018 Kiwi adventurer Scott Donaldson spent<br />

two months alone at sea to achieve a world first. It was his third<br />

attempt, having fallen a heartbreaking 80 kilometres short in 2014.<br />

Donaldson’s world first is an inspirational story of dogged<br />

perseverance, true Kiwi grit and relentless endurance.<br />

Tidelands<br />

by Philippa Gregory<br />

England 1648. A dangerous time for a woman to be different . . .<br />

Midsummer’s Eve, 1648, and England is in the grip of civil war between<br />

renegade King and rebellious Parliament. The struggle reaches every<br />

corner of the kingdom, even to the remote Tidelands - the marshy<br />

landscape of the south coast.<br />

Alinor, a descendant of wise women, crushed by poverty and superstition,<br />

waits in the graveyard under the full moon for a ghost who will declare<br />

her free from her abusive husband. Instead she meets James, a young<br />

man on the run, and shows him the secret ways across the treacherous<br />

marsh, not knowing that she is leading disaster into the heart of her life.<br />

Suspected of possessing dark secrets in superstitious times, Alinor’s<br />

ambition and determination mark her out from her neighbours. This is<br />

the time of witch-mania, and Alinor, a woman without a husband, skilled<br />

with herbs, suddenly enriched, arouses envy in her rivals and fear among<br />

the villagers, who are ready to take lethal action into their own hands.<br />
