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 />

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 />
On his trip to Hawaii, he<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 />

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 />

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 />

The Sumner Volunteer Fire<br />

One vehicle with six crew spent<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 />

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 />
Venice, it’ll be the first time any of<br />

Young Designer of the Year<br />
with a yellow fur dress which<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 />

Steve Macdonald, celebrates<br />
the switching on of the new<br />

and Banks Peninsula councillor<br />
Andrew Turner, inside Orion’s<br />
Dublin St substation. <br />
“The lines over the hill are<br />
vulnerable to weather, vegetation<br />
and pests. With the cable<br />
installed underground and<br />
protected in the tunnel, we have<br />
alternatives to keep the power on.<br />
“The port is an essential lifeline<br />
for Canterbury and increasing<br />
the resilience of the power supporting<br />
it is important for the<br />
wider region.”<br />
To allow for future growth,<br />
the new cable, actually three<br />
separate single-core cables, has<br />
a power rating of 10 megawatts,<br />
three megawatts greater than the<br />
current average demand.<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 />
of work in the Redcliffs Mt<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 />
chat to your neighbours and<br />
maybe join the society which is<br />

in the <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News<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 />

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 />

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 />
