• By Jess Gibson 

A REDCLIFFS couple has 

returned from their trip to 

Hawaii with extra luggage. 

Annie Crombie, 51, and 

husband Terry Beentjes, 53, 

each bagged two trophies 

after placing in the US Slalom 

Windsurfing Nationals in Maui 

late last month. 

Crombie won sport section 

and finished third in the 

women’s competition, while 

Beentjes finished second in 

both the semi-pro and men’s 

40-59 racing events. 

“We’re stoked,” Crombie 

said. “We didn’t have any 

expectations to be on the 

podium.” 

Both took part in 24 races 

over the three-day event and 

had only trained for one 

week in the lead-up to the 

competition.

ONE OF the owners of Sumner’s 

Cave Rock Apartments says he 

will appeal a High Court decision 

if an order is made for the land to 

be sold. 

Peter Foster is one of four 

owners who have refused to sell 

the abandoned complex at 11 

Marriner St for a split settlement 

from IAG and the Earthquake 

Commission, which was made 

last year. 

Forty-six out of 50 owners 

agreed to the sale after fighting 

a long battle with IAG and EQC 

for an amount which remains 

confidential. 

About 70 per cent of the offer 

has been paid to owners while the 

rest remains invested in a trust 

account because the remaining 

four have refused to sell. 

The High Court is expected 

to make an order as to whether 

they must adhere to the sale of 

the complex or not at a hearing 

which is expected to begin on 

October 21.

A GREAT effort from husband and wife 

windsurfers Annie Crombie and Terry 

Beentjes in Hawaii on page 1 today. 

Annie won the sport section and was 

third in the women’s competition at the US 

slalom nationals in Maui. 

Terry was second in both the semi-pro event and the men’s 

40-59 age group racing. He was lucky he got to compete. He 

broke his thumb the day after their flights to Hawaii were 

booked. 

The couple also hadn’t been doing much windsurtfing for 

several months, making their performances even more sweeter. 

“We’re stoked. We didn’t have any expectations to be on the 

podium,” Annie said. 

Also on page 1 today, we have more developments in the long 

running saga over the Sumner apartments.

‘Banks-centric’ film in the works 


A SHORT film showcasing Port 

Levy is set to be made. 

Peninsula will be a fictional 

drama about three isolated 

people who manage to connect 

in a very surprising way. 

Award-winning editorturned-producer 

Scott Flyger 

and screenwriter/director Fiona 

McKenzie have teamed up to 

produce the film, which has been 

inspired by real-life events. 

Flyger, who lives in Governors 

Bay, said the project will be 

“Banks-centric.” 

“We wanted it to be based in 

a small township in the Banks 

Peninsula, as it has very beautiful 

aspects and scenery. It’s moody 

and can have lots of sunshine or 

dark clouds. It’s quite a dramatic 

landscape.” 

He said the film will 

incorporate a cast, music talent, 

crew members and props from 

around the peninsula. 

Flyger was editor of the 

BAFTA award-winning comedy 

series, That Mitchell and Webb 

Look, and his other works have 

won awards around the globe. 

After writing for children’s 

staples Play School and What 

Now, McKenzie was a journalist 

on CTV, before training as a 

director at South Pacific Pictures. 

Lyttelton resident and theatre 

actor Tom Trevella has been cast 

as Mark, a sound engineer who 

moves to Banks Peninsula to 

try and find his place within the 

world. 

Mr Trevella said he is excited 

to see the film put a spotlight on 

the area and its creative people as 

“so much of the industry is based 

in the North Island.” 

Trevella will star in the film 

alongside Jasper Sutcliffe, who 

is set to play Toby, and Amber 

Ranson. 

Ranson, who has Down’s 

syndrome, has a goal to star in a 

film before the end of the year. 

The team are on track to 

fundraise the $15,000 production 

budget, which will cover props 

and costumes, location and 

accommodation fees, equipment, 

publicity, money for the cast and 

crew, and catering contributions. 

Screen CanterburyNZ is 

supportive of the project and is 

helping with marketing, as the 

organisation wants to grow the 

area as a filming destination.

meeting.

Flyger said the crew hopes 

to start shooting in September 

so the film is wrapped up by 

December. People who donate 

to the film will be offered an 

on-screen credit and will be 

kept up to date throughout preproduction 

and production.

Double 

cause for 

celebration 

•From page 1 

“We came out of winter 

and haven’t windsurfed since 

February so it was a hard seven 

days. I got blisters all over my 

hands and feet,” Crombie 

said. 

She said they stayed fit before 

heading over by mountain 

biking and doing yoga. 

Beentjes almost opted out of 

competing after he broke his 

thumb the day after the flights 

were booked. 

“He was only three weeks 

out of his plaster when he 

competed. Once we got up 

there the vibe of the event got a 

hold of him,” Crombie said. 

The couple had more than 

just trophies to celebrate 

during the prize-giving as it 

was on the same day as their 

31st wedding anniversary. 

Crombie and Beentjes 

have both been windsurfing 

since the early 1990s and 

have competed in many 

competitions in New Zealand 

and overseas. 

Crombie said their two 

teenage daughters, Kate and 

Emma, have been all “around 

the world to windy places.” 

Four apartment owners prevent sale 

•From page 1 

The complex, which includes 

49 apartments and the Cave 

Rock Tavern, suffered damage 

in the February and June, 2011, 

earthquakes. 

Mr Foster, who owns the 

tavern, is unhappy with how the 

money has been split as the area 

he owns covers more land than 

the other units. 

About 30 of the units were 

demolished in 2012, while the 

rest remain damaged. 

Mr Foster said members of the 

body corporate committee who 

no longer have a standing unit 

should not have been able to vote 

on the sale of the land. 

He said if he has to appeal 

he will request an appointed 

administrator to deal with the 

matter, which he believes has 

been handled poorly. 

“We’ve had the tavern valued 

by a professional valuer and 

what he is going to get under the 

reassessed ownership interest is 

more than the tavern is worth 

anyway.” 

“What he wants is a 

substantially bigger sum out of 

the total sum for the tavern than 

it’s actually worth,” he said. 

Thirteen of the 50 owners 

which formed a body corporate 

after the quakes have since 

died and some of their family 

members have taken over the

Mr White said he hopes the 

process will be over soon for the 

46 owners “who just want to get 

on with their lives.” 

“The rest of us will be 

absolutely delighted if the 

four individuals would at 

least agree to the sale,” Mr 

White said. 

Meanwhile, Mr White said 

the complex remains a target for 

vandalism including graffiti and 

deliberate flooding. 

“It’s not good for the 

neighbours or the community in 

Sumner to see the place getting 

bashed around. It’s dreadful.”

Policing concerns for Lyttelton 


A COMMUNITY meeting has 

been set up to address crime and 

policing in Lyttelton.

target for offenders.

have 

organised the public discussion. 

Mr Fields said police are 

yet to be invited to the meeting 

as he and the other hosts are 

still organising how it will be 

run. 

“We will certainly be inviting 

them . . . but it would be a bad 

look if they didn’t come,” he 

said. 

“The ideal outcome would be 

a 24/7 police presence in Lyttelton. 

Not just as a community 

board member but as a person 

concerned about the well-being 

of people.” 

It will be held at 5pm on September 

8 in the Lyttelton Arts 

Factory, 1 Sumner Rd. 

A petition to increase police 

presence started by Cr Turner, 

Mr Fields and Mr Davidson last 

week has been signed by more 

than 200 residents. 

It is likely to be presented to 

police at the meeting to show 

the level of interest in the community.

Planting day 

to improve 

waterways 

THE BANKS Peninsula Water 

Zone Committee wants to 

protect mahinga kai for future 

generations. 

It will hold a community 

planting day on August 25, centred 

around the Okuti River and 

improving its health. 

It is a priority action of the 

water zone committee to use 

mahinga kai as an indicator of 

the health of waterways around 

Banks Peninsula. 

Mahinga kai is about more 

than just survival for Ngāi Tahu, 

it is about maintaining the 

things that sustain and nourish 

people and that bring well-being 

like clean water, air, soil and sufficient 

shelter. 

Access to, and being able to 

gather, clean and healthy kai as 

Ngāi Tahu ancestors did, and 

doing this in a sustainable way is 

also important. 

Another planting day was 

held for Te Wharau – one of 

four priority streams in 

Whaka-Ora – at Orton Bradley 

Park on August 4.

planting days, including what to

GREAT READS INSTORE NOW 

Richard Emerson: The Hopfather 

by Michael donaldson 

The life and times of the man who built the modern beer scene in 

New Zealand, an iconic brewer and businessman – Richard Emerson 

of Emerson’s Brewery. Richard Emerson is one of our pre-eminent 

brewers, a trailblazer who is often lauded as the godfather of craft beer 

in New Zealand. 

Born profoundly deaf in 1960s Dunedin, Emerson triumphed against 

all odds to launch Emerson’s Brewery in 1992. He went on to create 

a string of unique, award-winning beers, spark a cult-following, 

attract global recognition, and become a millionaire – all from doing 

something he loved. For Richard, it came after 20 years of unrelenting 

commitment to the cause of good beer. They were two decades of 

hard graft, physically and emotionally, of little or no pay, and of long 

hours, during which he watched his father, mentor and friend die just 

as the business began to stand on its own two feet. This is the story 

of an adventurous boy who wouldn’t let anything get in the way of 

what he wanted to do; a boy who fought for his place in the world and 

refused to let anyone tell him ‘no’. 

Johnathan Thurston: The 

Autobiography 

by Johnathan Thurston, with James Phelps 

The bestselling autobiography of a league legend. 

Johnathan Thurston is widely regarded as rugby league’s 

greatest player. This autobiography will follow Thurston’s 

journey from a Brisbane kid who was written off as too skinny, 

too slow and too wild to play professionally, to his debut with 

the Canterbury Bulldogs in 2003, to State of Origin star, to 

Dally M and Clive Churchill Medal winner, and the fairytale 

premierships. 

Brothers in Black 

The Long History of Brotherhood in New 

Zealand rugby 

by Jamie Wall 

The All Blacks have had a brilliant run of brothers in the last 

decade, with the Barretts, Whitelocks, Saveas and Franks, 

but there have also been many more standouts throughout 

New Zealand rugby history like the Meads, Whettons, Gears, 

Bachops and Brownlies. 

Jamie Wall writes insightfully, revealing fascinating stories and 

providing analysis of some of the massive changes that have 

occurred in New Zealand rugby over the years, while sharing 

great yarns about the high-profile tests that live on in every 

rugby fan’s memory. 

R.A. Lawson - Victorian Architect & 

designer of Dunedin 

by Norman Ledgerwood 

Following the discovery of gold in Otago, Dunedin quickly grew 

to become the largest and richest city in New Zealand. Among 

the architects who influenced the young city was the Scottish 

architect, Robert Arthur Lawson. 

Lawson became more than a leading architect of the day, he 

was deeply involved in the management and affairs of his 

beloved Presbyterian Church. Over a short period Lawson 

played a major role in the growth of Dunedin — taking it 

from a small township to a city of remarkable and enduring 

Victorian architecture. 

Lawson’s most significant works — First Presbyterian Church 

of Otago, Knox Presbyterian Church, Larnach Castle, Otago 

Boys’ High School, Dunedin Municipal Building — take 

their place amongst the country’s most important historical 

buildings and grace Dunedin to this day.

A COLOURFUL message 

of unity by an aspiring artist 

from Litter River School 

will take centre stage in 

the city. 

Alex Sands, 11, has 

been named as one 

of two winners in the 

primary school category 

of SCAPE Public Art’s 

Re:ACTIVATE Aspiring 

Artists competition for her 

work We Are One! 

Along with four other 

designs, it will go on show 

at Hack Circle on the 

corner of Cashel and 

High Sts as part of SCAPE 

Public Art’s annual Season 

festival from October 5 to 

November 16. 

Alex’s work features a 

multi-coloured stained 

glass-like panel representing 

unity amid cultural 

diversity. 

Sticks of Rock by 12-yearold 

Tessa Marshall has also 

been recognised. The Ao 

Tawhiti Unlimited Discovery 

School pupil’s work 

integrates Maori concepts 

with English “rock” confectionery. 

The talented young 

artists are among a 

record number of 

competition entries, with 

14 local schools submitting 

artworks. 

TOP PICK: 

Alex 

Sands’ We 

Are One! has

selected for 

the Season 

festival. 

Meaningful message for festival 

SCAPE executive director 

Deborah McCormick 

said fostering young artists 

is integral to maintaining 

a flourishing cityscape for 

future generations. 

“Over the past 21 years, 

SCAPE has been instrumental 

in helping to make 

Christchurch a dynamic 

city that showcases a 

world-class collection of 

public art, including that 

created by emerging artists,” 

she says. 

In the secondary school 

category, three works by 

five 17-year-old girls will 

also go on show during the 

Season festival.

‘Unsung hero’ gets award 


THE HUNT will soon be on to 

find Lyttelton’s next top dog. 

Popular children’s television 

show What Now is looking to 

feature pet dogs while it films 

in the port town on September 

8 at Te Ana Marina. 


“UNSUNG HERO” Ian 

McLennan has been 

recognised for 12 years of 

dedication to restoring Quail 

Island. 

The Redcliffs 

environmentalist is the 

Otamahua (Quail Island) 

Ecological Restoration Trust 

chairman and has taken part 

in countless working bees on 

the island. 

Mr McLellan (left) received 

a Keep Christchurch Beautiful 

community award for his 

efforts at a ceremony last week. 

Planting, clearing weeds and 

pest control are among the 

tasks he takes part in when he 

heads over with volunteers at 

least twice a month. 

The nomination, which was 

Presenters will team up with 

the children’s show Fanimals 

for a dual broadcast and will 

run prospective pet dogs 

through their paces on site. 

Parents can sign their 

children and dogs up to go 

along and be part of the 

audience while the show is 

submitted by a volunteer, said 

Mr McLellan “works tirelessly 

to restore this neglected and 

abused island to its native 

glory.” 

He first got involved with 

the trust when his brother was 

chairman. 

Said Mr McLellan: “The 

main thing for me is the 

almost complete loss of native 

biodiversity over the last 

couple of hundred years. It’s 

a small effort to recreate what 

was once there.” 

During his time on the trust, 

Mr McLellan said he has seen 

all pests eradicated except for 

mice. 

“Making the island 

predator-free has been a major 

achievement for the trust.” 

The trust is running its 

annual planting programme 

filmed and can register them to 

participate in games. 

On the day, Lyttelton 

Primary School principal 

Brendan Wright will also 

get covered in gunge in the 

segment ‘target ya teacher’. 

Presenters were pre-filming 

in Lyttelton on Thursday to 

this month, which will see 

3000 native trees planted over 

four weekends. It will bring 

the total number of trees 

planted to more than 98,000. 

At the ceremony 10 groups, 

eight individuals and three life 

members received awards. 

Among the life membership 

recipients was Governors Bay 

resident John Thacker. He 

has been involved with Keep 

Christchurch Beautiful since 

before its electronic records 

began. He used to carry out 

the litter count contract for the 

city council, in tandem with 

John Macaulay. 

Mr Thacker is an active 

member and will often put up 

Keep Christchurch Beautiful 

signs where he thinks people 

need to be more conscious of 

litter.

IT IS 3AM, it is dark, there is 

light rain and the wind is picking

sleeping community is broken 

suddenly by the sounds two old 

air raid sirens, one at each end of

In the houses of 20 local men 

and women, emergency pagers 

and text alerts also sound. These

basic details of the reason they 

have been woken to respond to

of paradise. 

They quickly dress and either

Some of the “now awake”

AS I SAID in my last column, 

we’ve travelled to Italy so Vittoria 

can meet the family. And what a 

journey it’s been. 

Before we even left, Vittoria 

caused her parents a heap of stress 

with her first ambulance trip to 

the emergency department, starting 

on a course of antibiotics for 

pneumonia, setting us back a day 

on doctor’s orders. 

It sounds bad, and it wasn’t ideal, 

but it was all okay apart from 

unsettling our sleep patterns. 

So we were lucky, our pre-dawn 

flight on Saturday went swimmingly. 

Vittoria was happy to nap, 

draw or watch cartoons all the 

way to Brisbane where we stayed a 

night with my sister-in-law Sarah. 

The only niggle was that she 

leaked on me because her nappy 

was askew but, like for most parents 

I think, that’s a non-event. 

It looked like either the antibiotics 

or time were working a treat 

flurry of emotions from initial 

annoyance to having been 

woken, then quickly followed by 

concerned thoughts about who 

is in trouble and what has happened. 

Is it a fire, has someone 

had a heart attack, have trees 

blown over onto power lines 

causing fire and power outage, 

has the community received an 

upgraded warning of tsunami, 

or has some tired driver driven 

off the road and crashed? 

Diamond Harbour has a magnificent 

bunch of volunteer firefighters 

who are highly trained, 

multi-skilled and committed to 

providing the very best support 

in all sorts of emergencies to this 

community – their people. 

Their families sit at home and 

worry about their firefighting 

partner, or family members and 

on Vittoria, so we were quietly 

confident going into the 14-hour 

leg to Dubai on Sunday night. 

And again, it went pretty good. 

Fourteen uneventful hours. 

Arriving in Dubai we were all 

tired, dishevelled, probably smelly 

and definitely over trying to sleep 

in an aircraft seat with a fidgety 

toddler. Between us and relaxation, 

were only four hours in an 

airport and a six-hour flight. Easy 

right? Spoiler alert – no. 

Our luck ran out 20 minutes before 

boarding started for our flight 

to Venice when Vittoria vomited 

all over the floor in the middle 

of a packed terminal. And a little

VITTORIA 

& Matt 

on my shirt and shoes. Honestly, 

what’s the protocol for that? 

I just floundered in surprise for 

a bit until Laura went into nurse 

mode and sent me off to clean 

Vittoria up while she “dealt with 

it” in the splash zone. 

Once we were as “fresh” as 

possible and a suddenly exhausted 

toddler crying in my arms, we 

made our way to the gate where 

we were told we could get Vittoria 

checked up for free at the airport 

clinic and wouldn’t miss our 

flight. 

However, once the “ambulance” 

arrives (literally a push trolley) 

we were told that a full check at 

volunteer fire brigades in New 

Zealand and around 49 are 

trained and equipped for “medical 

first response”, which in our 

brigade accounts for about 60 

per cent of our “calls for service.” 

Even delivering babies is in our 

repertoire. 

They say variety is the spice 

of life, so it is in the brigade, 

we have been to fires caused by 

swans flying into high voltage 

cables at night, burning possums 

falling into and setting alight to 

hedges, cats up trees, sheep in 

the clinic might make us miss our 

flight – great. 

With all the vitals coming back 

healthy, and Vittoria totally out to 

it asleep, I was offered a difficult 

choice; do further checks and 

miss the flight or sign a waiver 

saying “refused treatment” and 

that if it gets worse it’s all on you. 

Although I was confident to 

sign away and just get to the flight 

so we could be done with it, I felt 

terrible anyway. So for three long 

and stressful hours of the last flight 

we thought of all the worst things 

it could be – dehydration, gastro, 

some sort of never-wake-up 

disease. 

And what does Vittoria do when 

she finally wakes up? Sits up, laughs 

and becomes the flight staff’s 

darling by running laps around the 

plane with a huge grin on her face 

for the duration of the flight. 

Anyway, we’re in Italy now and 

ready for family time.

our brigade has identified a 

significant gap in our response 

around our need to purchase a

emergencies in difficult to reach 

locations. 

Our rural areas cause us 

concern as our existing response 

vehicles, the fire medical vehicle 

and fire appliance are not able to 

go “off-road.” 

We have, with the help of major 

supporters, including James 

and Laura at On the Spot, so far 

raised nearly $45,000 towards a 

new vehicle. 

We have a quite bit more to 

raise so any help would be appreciated, 

(fundraising account

We can then purchase a 

purpose-built vehicle we and 

our community can be proud 

of.

Tutors’ commitment brings 

results for students 

A genuine commitment to helping 

students achieve in education and concern 

for what happens to them are what brings 

the results for children tutored at Kip 

McGrath Ferrymead, says franchise owner 

Helen Hudson. 

“As they progress through the sessions we 

see them blossom and grow in confidence 

with their learning and that’s so rewarding,” 

Helen says. 

The other key factors that set Kip McGrath 

apart and contribute to students’ success are 

that all tutors have to be qualified teachers, 

and that students have the same tutor every 

time they attend, Helen says. 

“This allows the tutors to build a rapport 

with their students. They work on an 

individualised programme within a small 

group of three to five students.” 

Communication with parents is another 

important aspect, Helen 

points out. 

“We have to be meeting 

the needs of the children 

as the parents see it, as well 

as what we see is needed.” 

Kip McGrath Ferrymead 

has six tutors offering 

students from Year 1-13 

tutoring in maths and 

English – covering a broad 

spectrum of spelling, 

writing and reading, with 

the tutors fully conversant 

with NCEA requirements. 

Chemistry, Physics 

and Biology along with 

English and Maths tutoring is 

available for Year 11, 12 and 

13 students. 

“With the senior students 

we work alongside them, but 

they are really the leader of 

the lesson, which is tailormade 

to their needs,” Helen 

says. 

There is also a focus on 

children with learning 

difficulties, such as dyslexia, 

and for accelerant students, 

who need extra challenges. 

Each tutoring session lasts 

one hour 20 minutes, with 

about six different activities 

included each time. Sessions are run 

outside school hours, either before or after 

school, with most students attending once 

a week. 

“We also offer one-on-one tutoring for 

adult students, who may need to improve 

their English or maths skills for work they 

want to apply for.” 

There are several funding subsidies 

available for Kip McGrath tutoring.

Registered Ngai Tahu members receive

Vote keeps clubs in reserve grade 

• By Gordon Findlater 

LYTTELTON, Otautahi and 

Suburbs will continue to 

compete in the metro rugby 

premier reserve grade after a 

decision was overturned at a 

meeting last week. 

A Canterbury Rugby Football 

Union decision made three years 

ago meant teams wanting to 

compete in the premier reserve 

grade would have needed a team 

in the premier competition from 

next season. 

However, this requirement 

was overturned last week at a 

meeting between all 16 metro 

sub-union clubs. The three clubs 

which don’t have a team in the 

premier competition will now 

still be able to compete in the 

reserve grade. 

All of the metro sub-union 

clubs voted in favour of no 

changes being made to the teams 

currently competing in the 

premier reserve grade. 

“The clubs were given some 

material by the metro committee 

to talk to their boards about and 

come back with their boards’ 

feelings based on the material 

we’d given them, which they 

did,” said metro sub-union 

committee chairman Brent 

Goldsmid. 

“It was basically unanimous 

that given the player number 

difficulties the sport faces, 

to restrict teams from the 

competition would make no 

Bid to promote 

squash in Sumner 

THE SUMNER Tennis and 

Squash Club wants to prevent 

squash from fading as a sport. 

The club will host the 

Canterbury masters and 

under-23 squash tournaments on 

Saturday and Sunday as part of 

an effort to promote the game in 

the region. 

Said president Phil Loughnan: 

“Hopefully this will be the 

first of many, with the club 

reintroducing a Sumner open 

next year.” 

“Squash nationally is a fading 

game, but it’s a great game the 

club is committed to growing,” 

Mr Loughnan said. 

STILL ALIVE: Lyttelton will continue to compete in the metro premier reserve competition after 

a decision to exclude them, Suburbs and Otautahi was overturned last week. 

He said it will be an 

opportunity to showcase the 

club’s rejuvenated facilities, 

which are “arguably the best in 

Christchurch.” 

The club on Heberden Ave 

has spent more than $1 million 

renovating the squash and tennis 

courts and associated facilities, 

which were reopened late last 

year. 

“The courts have new floors 

and lighting and have been 

heavily insulated to give excellent 

playing conditions,” he said.

sense. The environment over the 

last three years has changed . . . 

three years ago, it was probably 

the right decision, now it’s not 

and we’re happy to change that.” 

Lyttelton club president 

SPORT 

Clinton Norris said he was 

confident going into the meeting 

about the future of the three 

clubs, but was surprised by the 

amount of support for the clubs 

to continue competing in the 

reserve competition. 

“To listen to what the clubs 

had to say was overwhelming. It 

means we can all work together 

and make something better for 

our local rugby,” said Norris. 

The decision, which would 

have ruled Lyttelton, Otautahi 

and Suburbs out of the premier 

reserve grade, came to light 

recently, with vocal support for 

it to be overturned on social 

media. 

“We got up two months ago 

and just spilt the beans about 

what effect it would have on our 

clubs and how hard it would 

be. No one had thought about a 

pathway and then we asked for a 

full review,” said Norris. 

Lyttelton currently have two 

senior teams and eight junior 

teams. Suburbs have two senior, 

a colts, a women’s and seven 

junior teams. Otautahi have two 

senior and four junior teams. 

Experienced new coach appointed 

THE REDCLIFFS Tennis Club 

has appointed an internationally 

experienced new head coach. 

Originally from Canterbury, 

Alan Adair has been coaching 

at a high level in Germany 

for many years, but recently 

returned to Christchurch with 

his family. 

He replaces Jack Tiller, who 

has taken up a role in Ashburton 

as head coach of the Mid- 

Canterbury region. Adair brings 

a great deal of expertise to the 

club and can coach at all levels 

– from absolute beginners to 

professionals. 

His goal is to teach tactically 

intelligent tennis, which 

suits each player’s individual 

strengths and weaknesses. 

The former junior New 

Zealand age group champion 

has previously been the 

Southland regional coach and 

also coaches at the Kaiapoi and 

Amberley clubs. 

TACTICAL: 

Alan 

Adair has 

replaced 

Jack Tiller 

as Redcliffs 

Tennis Club 

head coach. 

Adair will be available to 

meet potential new members at 

the ‘love tennis’ open day from 

1-4pm on September 7 and 8 at 

the Redcliffs club.

High build quality for new Toyota RAV4 

Motoring 

Ross Kiddie 

IT HAS TO be said – Toyota has 

really upped the ante with its new 

RAV4. 

I remember writing about the 

interior of the previous generation 

model, referencing the hard plastic 

trim and low grade materials 

which formed the cockpit. 

That has all changed, the new 

RAV4 is a quantum leap, premium 

linings have been used, 

soft-touch surfaces have been 

included, and the layout of the 

controls is comprehensive but 

simplistic to understand. 

All this from a model which 

isn’t graded as high-specification. 

This evaluation surrounds the 

GXL model which still gets cloth 

seat trim – yet I believe these are 

the seats for Christchurch. Every 

morning the RAV4 was in my 

care the temperature was below 

0 deg C and freezing. It was nice 

to get into the relative warmth of 

cloth as opposed to leather. 

The 2019 RAV4 lands in eight 

variants. I evaluated the rangetopping 

hybrid in July, and 

reported that it was the most 

sensible model in the series. However, 

there are petrol-only models 

for those who don’t want to go 

down the hybrid road. There are 

three models with 2-litre engines 

driving through the front wheels 

only, and two 2.5-litre all-wheeldrive 

variants – the GXL and 

Adventure. 

The GXL 4WD lands at $41,990 

($48,990 Adventure), which to 

me represents good buying and, 

as my introduction suggested, it 

is now a car which borders on the 

luxury car class such is its build 

quality and drive comfort. 

A lot of the latter has to do with 

a brand new platform, the RAV4 

is totally fresh from the ground 

up, and it’s something Toyota has 

put a big effort into. Well, when 

the car you are marketing sits 

in the one of the busiest market 

segments, then it has to be good 

to compete. 

Yes, the mid-size sport utility 

market is crowded, but the RAV4 

has a healthy reputation and solid 

grounding. 

Under the bonnet sits a revised 

version of the four-cylinder 

2487cc engine that has served 

Toyota well for several years. 

While its basic construction 

hasn’t changed a lot, it has been 

refined for higher power outputs 

and greater efficiency. Toyota rate 

it with 152kW and 243Nm, both 

outputs peaky at 6600rpm and 

4000-5000rpm respectively. 

TOYOTA RAV4 GXL: Significant off-road capability. 

That matters little, the specific to be honest, I felt it a little unnecessary, 

but it’s there for when 

outputs are high enough to provide 

solid performance, an 8.5sec maximum performance is needed

comfort. Sure, at almost 1.7m tall 

the body does have some gravitational 

movement, but it is well 

arrested and handling balance is 

unaffected. 

Bear in mind too, the fourwheel-drive 

RAV has several offroad 

drive modes which provide 

the model with serious off-road 

potential. 

As much as I enjoyed the GXL’s 

traditional driveline, I’m sticking 

by my comment that the hybrid 

is the pick of the range and would 

certainly be my choice. 

Yet, I’m fully aware that RAV4 

buyers want just that little point 

of difference to other SUV owners 

and, I guess, that’s what Toyota 

was thinking of when it included 

an Adventure model into the 

range. It has body kits and an 

interior colour contrasts which 

are vivid and striking. 

I’m due to evaluate it soon and 

from what I’m hearing it is the 

go-to model. Just as well, then, 

Toyota has a RAV4 for all tastes.

have seen & experienced as much in a destination 

if they had been free wheeling it themselves – the Tour 

Directors really add value and bring a destination alive and save you time 

and energy figuring out the good spots! Not to mention the cost of parking’.
