A REDCLIFFS couple has<br />
returned from their trip to<br />
Hawaii with extra luggage.<br />
Annie Crombie, 51, and<br />
husband Terry Beentjes, 53,<br />
each bagged two trophies<br />
after placing in the US Slalom<br />
Windsurfing Nationals in Maui<br />
late last month.<br />
Crombie won sport section<br />
and finished third in the<br />
women’s competition, while<br />
Beentjes finished second in<br />
both the semi-pro and men’s<br />
40-59 racing events.<br />
“We’re stoked,” Crombie<br />
said. “We didn’t have any<br />
expectations to be on the<br />
podium.”<br />
Both took part in 24 races<br />
over the three-day event and<br />
had only trained for one<br />
week in the lead-up to the<br />
competition.<br />

ONE OF the owners of Sumner’s<br />
Cave Rock Apartments says he<br />
will appeal a High Court decision<br />
if an order is made for the land to<br />
be sold.<br />
Peter Foster is one of four<br />
owners who have refused to sell<br />
the abandoned complex at 11<br />
Marriner St for a split settlement<br />
from IAG and the Earthquake<br />
Commission, which was made<br />
last year.<br />
Forty-six out of 50 owners<br />
agreed to the sale after fighting<br />
a long battle with IAG and EQC<br />
for an amount which remains<br />
confidential.<br />
About 70 per cent of the offer<br />
has been paid to owners while the<br />
rest remains invested in a trust<br />
account because the remaining<br />
four have refused to sell.<br />
The High Court is expected<br />
to make an order as to whether<br />
they must adhere to the sale of<br />
the complex or not at a hearing<br />
which is expected to begin on<br />
October 21.<br />

A GREAT effort from husband and wife<br />
windsurfers Annie Crombie and Terry<br />
Beentjes in Hawaii on page 1 today.<br />
Annie won the sport section and was<br />
third in the women’s competition at the US<br />
slalom nationals in Maui.<br />
Terry was second in both the semi-pro event and the men’s<br />
40-59 age group racing. He was lucky he got to compete. He<br />
broke his thumb the day after their flights to Hawaii were<br />
booked.<br />
The couple also hadn’t been doing much windsurtfing for<br />
several months, making their performances even more sweeter.<br />
“We’re stoked. We didn’t have any expectations to be on the<br />
podium,” Annie said.<br />
Also on page 1 today, we have more developments in the long<br />
running saga over the Sumner apartments.<br />

‘Banks-centric’ film in the works<br />
• By Jess Gibson<br />
A SHORT film showcasing Port<br />
Levy is set to be made.<br />
Peninsula will be a fictional<br />
drama about three isolated<br />
people who manage to connect<br />
in a very surprising way.<br />
Award-winning editorturned-producer<br />
Scott Flyger<br />
and screenwriter/director Fiona<br />
McKenzie have teamed up to<br />
produce the film, which has been<br />
inspired by real-life events.<br />
Flyger, who lives in Governors<br />
<strong>Bay</strong>, said the project will be<br />
“Banks-centric.”<br />
“We wanted it to be based in<br />
a small township in the Banks<br />
Peninsula, as it has very beautiful<br />
aspects and scenery. It’s moody<br />
and can have lots of sunshine or<br />
dark clouds. It’s quite a dramatic<br />
landscape.”<br />
He said the film will<br />
incorporate a cast, music talent,<br />
crew members and props from<br />
around the peninsula.<br />
Flyger was editor of the<br />
BAFTA award-winning comedy<br />
series, That Mitchell and Webb<br />
Look, and his other works have<br />
won awards around the globe.<br />
After writing for children’s<br />
staples Play School and What<br />
Now, McKenzie was a journalist<br />
on CTV, before training as a<br />
director at South Pacific Pictures.<br />
Lyttelton resident and theatre<br />
actor Tom Trevella has been cast<br />
as Mark, a sound engineer who<br />
moves to Banks Peninsula to<br />
try and find his place within the<br />
world.<br />
Mr Trevella said he is excited<br />
to see the film put a spotlight on<br />
the area and its creative people as<br />
“so much of the industry is based<br />
in the North Island.”<br />
Trevella will star in the film<br />
alongside Jasper Sutcliffe, who<br />
is set to play Toby, and Amber<br />
Ranson.<br />
Ranson, who has Down’s<br />
syndrome, has a goal to star in a<br />
film before the end of the year.<br />
The team are on track to<br />
fundraise the $15,000 production<br />
budget, which will cover props<br />
and costumes, location and<br />
accommodation fees, equipment,<br />
publicity, money for the cast and<br />
crew, and catering contributions.<br />
Screen CanterburyNZ is<br />
supportive of the project and is<br />
helping with marketing, as the<br />
organisation wants to grow the<br />
area as a filming destination.<br />

Flyger said the crew hopes<br />
to start shooting in September<br />
so the film is wrapped up by<br />
December. People who donate<br />
to the film will be offered an<br />
on-screen credit and will be<br />
kept up to date throughout preproduction<br />

Double<br />
cause for<br />
celebration<br />
•From page 1<br />
“We came out of winter<br />
and haven’t windsurfed since<br />
February so it was a hard seven<br />
days. I got blisters all over my<br />
hands and feet,” Crombie<br />
said.<br />
She said they stayed fit before<br />
heading over by mountain<br />
biking and doing yoga.<br />
Beentjes almost opted out of<br />
competing after he broke his<br />
thumb the day after the flights<br />
were booked.<br />
“He was only three weeks<br />
out of his plaster when he<br />
competed. Once we got up<br />
there the vibe of the event got a<br />
hold of him,” Crombie said.<br />
The couple had more than<br />
just trophies to celebrate<br />
during the prize-giving as it<br />
was on the same day as their<br />
31st wedding anniversary.<br />
Crombie and Beentjes<br />
have both been windsurfing<br />
since the early 1990s and<br />
have competed in many<br />
competitions in New Zealand<br />
and overseas.<br />
Crombie said their two<br />
teenage daughters, Kate and<br />
Emma, have been all “around<br />
the world to windy places.”<br />
Four apartment owners prevent sale<br />
•From page 1<br />
The complex, which includes<br />
49 apartments and the Cave<br />
Rock Tavern, suffered damage<br />
in the February and June, 2011,<br />
earthquakes.<br />
Mr Foster, who owns the<br />
tavern, is unhappy with how the<br />
money has been split as the area<br />
he owns covers more land than<br />
the other units.<br />
About 30 of the units were<br />
demolished in 2012, while the<br />
rest remain damaged.<br />
Mr Foster said members of the<br />
body corporate committee who<br />
no longer have a standing unit<br />
should not have been able to vote<br />
on the sale of the land.<br />
He said if he has to appeal<br />
he will request an appointed<br />
administrator to deal with the<br />
matter, which he believes has<br />
been handled poorly.<br />
“We’ve had the tavern valued<br />
by a professional valuer and<br />
what he is going to get under the<br />
reassessed ownership interest is<br />
more than the tavern is worth<br />
anyway.”<br />
“What he wants is a<br />
substantially bigger sum out of<br />
the total sum for the tavern than<br />
it’s actually worth,” he said.<br />
Thirteen of the 50 owners<br />
which formed a body corporate<br />
after the quakes have since<br />
died and some of their family<br />
members have taken over the<br />

battle.<br />
Mr White said he hopes the<br />
process will be over soon for the<br />
46 owners “who just want to get<br />
on with their lives.”<br />
“The rest of us will be<br />
absolutely delighted if the<br />
four individuals would at<br />
least agree to the sale,” Mr<br />
White said.<br />
Meanwhile, Mr White said<br />
the complex remains a target for<br />
vandalism including graffiti and<br />
deliberate flooding.<br />
“It’s not good for the<br />
neighbours or the community in<br />
Sumner to see the place getting<br />
bashed around. It’s dreadful.”<br />

Policing concerns for Lyttelton<br />
• By Jess Gibson<br />
A COMMUNITY meeting has<br />
been set up to address crime and<br />
policing in Lyttelton.<br />
Residents are growing increasingly<br />
frustrated over a lack<br />
of police presence, which is<br />
believed to have made the area a<br />
target for offenders.<br />
In response, Deputy Mayor<br />
and Banks<br />

councillor<br />

David, Carol & Mike<br />
and candidate<br />
Reuben Davidson<br />
have<br />
organised the public discussion.<br />
Mr Fields said police are<br />
yet to be invited to the meeting<br />
as he and the other hosts are<br />
still organising how it will be<br />
run.<br />
“We will certainly be inviting<br />
them . . . but it would be a bad<br />
look if they didn’t come,” he<br />
said.<br />
“The ideal outcome would be<br />
a 24/7 police presence in Lyttelton.<br />
Not just as a community<br />
board member but as a person<br />
concerned about the well-being<br />
of people.”<br />
It will be held at 5pm on September<br />
8 in the Lyttelton Arts<br />
Factory, 1 Sumner Rd.<br />
A petition to increase police<br />
presence started by Cr Turner,<br />
Mr Fields and Mr Davidson last<br />
week has been signed by more<br />
than 200 residents.<br />
It is likely to be presented to<br />
police at the meeting to show<br />
the level of interest in the community.<br />

Thirty-three victims have<br />
responded to her request so far –<br />

CRIME: At<br />
least 19<br />
vehicles were<br />
damaged and<br />
six were stolen<br />
in Lyttelton<br />
between July 11<br />
and <strong>August</strong> 11.<br />
two female staff members while<br />
taking their belongings and<br />
money from cash registers.<br />
A police spokesperson said<br />
staff workloads are monitored<br />
throughout the district to ensure<br />
officers are deployed in the right<br />
areas at the right time.<br />
“We are comfortable with<br />
how we have our staff deployed<br />
and are confident in how we<br />
prioritise our resources. Police<br />
deploys officers to areas based on<br />
demand, which means districts<br />
have more flexibility to deploy<br />
staff where and when they are<br />
needed most.”<br />
We have active buyers keen to find their dream home, and<br />
yours could be the answer.<br />
Find out what your home could be worth to eager buyers<br />

Planting day<br />
to improve<br />
waterways<br />
THE BANKS Peninsula Water<br />
Zone Committee wants to<br />
protect mahinga kai for future<br />
generations.<br />
It will hold a community<br />
planting day on <strong>August</strong> 25, centred<br />
around the Okuti River and<br />
improving its health.<br />
It is a priority action of the<br />
water zone committee to use<br />
mahinga kai as an indicator of<br />
the health of waterways around<br />
Banks Peninsula.<br />
Mahinga kai is about more<br />
than just survival for Ngāi Tahu,<br />
it is about maintaining the<br />
things that sustain and nourish<br />
people and that bring well-being<br />
like clean water, air, soil and sufficient<br />
shelter.<br />
Access to, and being able to<br />
gather, clean and healthy kai as<br />
Ngāi Tahu ancestors did, and<br />
doing this in a sustainable way is<br />
also important.<br />
Another planting day was<br />
held for Te Wharau – one of<br />
four priority streams in<br />
Whaka-Ora – at Orton Bradley<br />
Park on <strong>August</strong> 4.<br />
For more information on the<br />
planting days, including what to<br />
bring, head to the Canterbury<br />

Richard Emerson: The Hopfather<br />
by Michael donaldson<br />
The life and times of the man who built the modern beer scene in<br />
New Zealand, an iconic brewer and businessman – Richard Emerson<br />
of Emerson’s Brewery. Richard Emerson is one of our pre-eminent<br />
brewers, a trailblazer who is often lauded as the godfather of craft beer<br />
in New Zealand.<br />
Born profoundly deaf in 1960s Dunedin, Emerson triumphed against<br />
all odds to launch Emerson’s Brewery in 1992. He went on to create<br />
a string of unique, award-winning beers, spark a cult-following,<br />
attract global recognition, and become a millionaire – all from doing<br />
something he loved. For Richard, it came after 20 years of unrelenting<br />
commitment to the cause of good beer. They were two decades of<br />
hard graft, physically and emotionally, of little or no pay, and of long<br />
hours, during which he watched his father, mentor and friend die just<br />
as the business began to stand on its own two feet. This is the story<br />
of an adventurous boy who wouldn’t let anything get in the way of<br />
what he wanted to do; a boy who fought for his place in the world and<br />
refused to let anyone tell him ‘no’.<br />
Johnathan Thurston: The<br />
Autobiography<br />
by Johnathan Thurston, with James Phelps<br />
The bestselling autobiography of a league legend.<br />
Johnathan Thurston is widely regarded as rugby league’s<br />
greatest player. This autobiography will follow Thurston’s<br />
journey from a Brisbane kid who was written off as too skinny,<br />
too slow and too wild to play professionally, to his debut with<br />
the Canterbury Bulldogs in 2003, to State of Origin star, to<br />
Dally M and Clive Churchill Medal winner, and the fairytale<br />
premierships.<br />
Brothers in Black<br />
The Long History of Brotherhood in New<br />
Zealand rugby<br />
by Jamie Wall<br />
The All Blacks have had a brilliant run of brothers in the last<br />
decade, with the Barretts, Whitelocks, Saveas and Franks,<br />
but there have also been many more standouts throughout<br />
New Zealand rugby history like the Meads, Whettons, Gears,<br />
Bachops and Brownlies.<br />
Jamie Wall writes insightfully, revealing fascinating stories and<br />
providing analysis of some of the massive changes that have<br />
occurred in New Zealand rugby over the years, while sharing<br />
great yarns about the high-profile tests that live on in every<br />
rugby fan’s memory.<br />
R.A. Lawson - Victorian Architect &<br />
designer of Dunedin<br />
by Norman Ledgerwood<br />
Following the discovery of gold in Otago, Dunedin quickly grew<br />
to become the largest and richest city in New Zealand. Among<br />
the architects who influenced the young city was the Scottish<br />
architect, Robert Arthur Lawson.<br />
Lawson became more than a leading architect of the day, he<br />
was deeply involved in the management and affairs of his<br />
beloved Presbyterian Church. Over a short period Lawson<br />
played a major role in the growth of Dunedin — taking it<br />
from a small township to a city of remarkable and enduring<br />
Victorian architecture.<br />
Lawson’s most significant works — First Presbyterian Church<br />
of Otago, Knox Presbyterian Church, Larnach Castle, Otago<br />
Boys’ High School, Dunedin Municipal Building — take<br />
their place amongst the country’s most important historical<br />
buildings and grace Dunedin to this day.<br />

ROCKERS: Natalie Hutton (left), of Fendalton, and Minnie Robberds, of Sumner,<br />
will head to the Smokefreerockquest finals this week.<br />
Robberds makes rockquest finals<br />
• By Jess Gibson<br />
SUCCESS ON the Kiwi<br />
music scene is on the<br />
horizon for Sumner<br />
resident Minnie Robberds.<br />
The 18-year-old has been<br />
selected to compete in<br />
the Smokefreerockquest<br />
national final in Auckland<br />
on September 18.<br />
She will perform alongside<br />
Natalie Hutton, 18, in<br />
the solo-duo act There’s a<br />
Tuesday Between a Monday<br />
and a Wednesday.<br />
They will be up against<br />
two other line-ups in the<br />
solo/duo category.<br />
Minnie is a student at<br />
Christchurch Girls’ High<br />
School and her love for<br />
music came from listening<br />
to her parent’s music growing<br />
up.<br />
“Artists like Patti Smith<br />
and Neil Young,” she said.<br />
Natalie, of Fendalton, is<br />
the St Margaret’s College<br />
co-head of arts and has<br />
been singing and songwriting<br />
since she was in<br />
primary school.<br />
They said they always<br />
hoped they would get to<br />
the rockquest final, but<br />
they doubted their ability.<br />
Just 10 high-school acts<br />
across the country made it<br />
through to the finals out of<br />
more than 800 bands which<br />
competed in this year’s<br />
regional heats and finals.<br />
At stake are prize<br />
packages that include<br />
$22,000 in Rockshop<br />
vouchers, a $16,000 NZ<br />

‘Unsung hero’ gets award<br />
• By Jess Gibson<br />
THE HUNT will soon be on to<br />
find Lyttelton’s next top dog.<br />
Popular children’s television<br />
show What Now is looking to<br />
feature pet dogs while it films<br />
in the port town on September<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />
“UNSUNG HERO” Ian<br />
McLennan has been<br />
recognised for 12 years of<br />
dedication to restoring Quail<br />
Island.<br />
The Redcliffs<br />
environmentalist is the<br />
Otamahua (Quail Island)<br />
Ecological Restoration Trust<br />
chairman and has taken part<br />
in countless working bees on<br />
the island.<br />
Mr McLellan (left) received<br />
a Keep Christchurch Beautiful<br />
community award for his<br />
efforts at a ceremony last week.<br />
Planting, clearing weeds and<br />
pest control are among the<br />
tasks he takes part in when he<br />
heads over with volunteers at<br />
least twice a month.<br />
The nomination, which was<br />
Presenters will team up with<br />
the children’s show Fanimals<br />
for a dual broadcast and will<br />
run prospective pet dogs<br />
through their paces on site.<br />
Parents can sign their<br />
children and dogs up to go<br />
along and be part of the<br />
audience while the show is<br />
submitted by a volunteer, said<br />
Mr McLellan “works tirelessly<br />
to restore this neglected and<br />
abused island to its native<br />
glory.”<br />
He first got involved with<br />
the trust when his brother was<br />
chairman.<br />
Said Mr McLellan: “The<br />
main thing for me is the<br />
almost complete loss of native<br />
biodiversity over the last<br />
couple of hundred years. It’s<br />
a small effort to recreate what<br />
was once there.”<br />
During his time on the trust,<br />
Mr McLellan said he has seen<br />
all pests eradicated except for<br />
mice.<br />
“Making the island<br />
predator-free has been a major<br />
achievement for the trust.”<br />
The trust is running its<br />
annual planting programme<br />
filmed and can register them to<br />
participate in games.<br />
On the day, Lyttelton<br />
Primary School principal<br />
Brendan Wright will also<br />
get covered in gunge in the<br />
segment ‘target ya teacher’.<br />
Presenters were pre-filming<br />
in Lyttelton on Thursday to<br />
this month, which will see<br />
3000 native trees planted over<br />
four weekends. It will bring<br />
the total number of trees<br />
planted to more than 98,000.<br />
At the ceremony 10 groups,<br />
eight individuals and three life<br />
members received awards.<br />
Among the life membership<br />
recipients was Governors <strong>Bay</strong><br />
resident John Thacker. He<br />
has been involved with Keep<br />
Christchurch Beautiful since<br />
before its electronic records<br />
began. He used to carry out<br />
the litter count contract for the<br />
city council, in tandem with<br />
John Macaulay.<br />
Mr Thacker is an active<br />
member and will often put up<br />
Keep Christchurch Beautiful<br />
signs where he thinks people<br />
need to be more conscious of<br />
litter.<br />

Bob Palmer<br />
writes about<br />
the highly<br />

and the different types of<br />
callouts it responds to<br />
IT IS 3AM, it is dark, there is<br />
light rain and the wind is picking<br />
up. It’s cold. The silence of the<br />
sleeping community is broken<br />
suddenly by the sounds two old<br />
air raid sirens, one at each end of<br />
the village.<br />
In the houses of 20 local men<br />
and women, emergency pagers<br />
and text alerts also sound. These<br />
men and women receive very<br />
basic details of the reason they<br />
have been woken to respond to<br />
an emergency in this small piece<br />
of paradise.<br />
They quickly dress and either<br />
run, cycle or drive to the local<br />
fire station to join their team.<br />
Some of the “now awake”<br />
residents will experience a quick<br />
AS I SAID in my last column,<br />
we’ve travelled to Italy so Vittoria<br />
can meet the family. And what a<br />
journey it’s been.<br />
Before we even left, Vittoria<br />
caused her parents a heap of stress<br />
with her first ambulance trip to<br />
the emergency department, starting<br />
on a course of antibiotics for<br />
pneumonia, setting us back a day<br />
on doctor’s orders.<br />
It sounds bad, and it wasn’t ideal,<br />
but it was all okay apart from<br />
unsettling our sleep patterns.<br />
So we were lucky, our pre-dawn<br />
flight on Saturday went swimmingly.<br />
Vittoria was happy to nap,<br />
draw or watch cartoons all the<br />
way to Brisbane where we stayed a<br />
night with my sister-in-law Sarah.<br />
The only niggle was that she<br />
leaked on me because her nappy<br />
was askew but, like for most parents<br />
I think, that’s a non-event.<br />
It looked like either the antibiotics<br />
or time were working a treat<br />
flurry of emotions from initial<br />
annoyance to having been<br />
woken, then quickly followed by<br />
concerned thoughts about who<br />
is in trouble and what has happened.<br />
Is it a fire, has someone<br />
had a heart attack, have trees<br />
blown over onto power lines<br />
causing fire and power outage,<br />
has the community received an<br />
upgraded warning of tsunami,<br />
or has some tired driver driven<br />
off the road and crashed?<br />
Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> has a magnificent<br />
bunch of volunteer firefighters<br />
who are highly trained,<br />
multi-skilled and committed to<br />
providing the very best support<br />
in all sorts of emergencies to this<br />
community – their people.<br />
Their families sit at home and<br />
worry about their firefighting<br />
partner, or family members and<br />
on Vittoria, so we were quietly<br />
confident going into the <strong>14</strong>-hour<br />
leg to Dubai on Sunday night.<br />
And again, it went pretty good.<br />
Fourteen uneventful hours.<br />
Arriving in Dubai we were all<br />
tired, dishevelled, probably smelly<br />
and definitely over trying to sleep<br />
in an aircraft seat with a fidgety<br />
toddler. Between us and relaxation,<br />
were only four hours in an<br />
airport and a six-hour flight. Easy<br />
right? Spoiler alert – no.<br />
Our luck ran out 20 minutes before<br />
boarding started for our flight<br />
to Venice when Vittoria vomited<br />
all over the floor in the middle<br />
of a packed terminal. And a little<br />

the one used by the Rakaia brigade.<br />
don’t go back to sleep themselves<br />
until they have returned home<br />
safe.<br />

every Tuesday night and many<br />
weekends developing their firefighting<br />

There are more than 640<br />
Highs and lows of travelling overseas<br />
VITTORIA<br />
& Matt<br />
on my shirt and shoes. Honestly,<br />
what’s the protocol for that?<br />
I just floundered in surprise for<br />
a bit until Laura went into nurse<br />
mode and sent me off to clean<br />
Vittoria up while she “dealt with<br />
it” in the splash zone.<br />
Once we were as “fresh” as<br />
possible and a suddenly exhausted<br />
toddler crying in my arms, we<br />
made our way to the gate where<br />
we were told we could get Vittoria<br />
checked up for free at the airport<br />
clinic and wouldn’t miss our<br />
flight.<br />
However, once the “ambulance”<br />
arrives (literally a push trolley)<br />
we were told that a full check at<br />
volunteer fire brigades in New<br />
Zealand and around 49 are<br />
trained and equipped for “medical<br />
first response”, which in our<br />
brigade accounts for about 60<br />
per cent of our “calls for service.”<br />
Even delivering babies is in our<br />
repertoire.<br />
They say variety is the spice<br />
of life, so it is in the brigade,<br />
we have been to fires caused by<br />
swans flying into high voltage<br />
cables at night, burning possums<br />
falling into and setting alight to<br />
hedges, cats up trees, sheep in<br />
the clinic might make us miss our<br />
flight – great.<br />
With all the vitals coming back<br />
healthy, and Vittoria totally out to<br />
it asleep, I was offered a difficult<br />
choice; do further checks and<br />
miss the flight or sign a waiver<br />
saying “refused treatment” and<br />
that if it gets worse it’s all on you.<br />
Although I was confident to<br />
sign away and just get to the flight<br />
so we could be done with it, I felt<br />
terrible anyway. So for three long<br />
and stressful hours of the last flight<br />
we thought of all the worst things<br />
it could be – dehydration, gastro,<br />
some sort of never-wake-up<br />
disease.<br />
And what does Vittoria do when<br />
she finally wakes up? Sits up, laughs<br />
and becomes the flight staff’s<br />
darling by running laps around the<br />
plane with a huge grin on her face<br />
for the duration of the flight.<br />
Anyway, we’re in Italy now and<br />

Tutors’ commitment brings<br />
results for students<br />
A genuine commitment to helping<br />
students achieve in education and concern<br />
for what happens to them are what brings<br />
the results for children tutored at Kip<br />
McGrath Ferrymead, says franchise owner<br />
Helen Hudson.<br />
“As they progress through the sessions we<br />
see them blossom and grow in confidence<br />
with their learning and that’s so rewarding,”<br />
Helen says.<br />
The other key factors that set Kip McGrath<br />
apart and contribute to students’ success are<br />
that all tutors have to be qualified teachers,<br />
and that students have the same tutor every<br />
time they attend, Helen says.<br />
“This allows the tutors to build a rapport<br />
with their students. They work on an<br />
individualised programme within a small<br />
group of three to five students.”<br />
Communication with parents is another<br />
important aspect, Helen<br />
points out.<br />
“We have to be meeting<br />
the needs of the children<br />
as the parents see it, as well<br />
as what we see is needed.”<br />
Kip McGrath Ferrymead<br />
has six tutors offering<br />
students from Year 1-13<br />
tutoring in maths and<br />
English – covering a broad<br />
spectrum of spelling,<br />
writing and reading, with<br />
the tutors fully conversant<br />
with NCEA requirements.<br />
Chemistry, Physics<br />
and Biology along with<br />
English and Maths tutoring is<br />
available for Year 11, 12 and<br />
13 students.<br />
“With the senior students<br />
we work alongside them, but<br />
they are really the leader of<br />
the lesson, which is tailormade<br />
to their needs,” Helen<br />
says.<br />
There is also a focus on<br />
children with learning<br />
difficulties, such as dyslexia,<br />
and for accelerant students,<br />
who need extra challenges.<br />
Each tutoring session lasts<br />
one hour 20 minutes, with<br />
about six different activities<br />
included each time. Sessions are run<br />
outside school hours, either before or after<br />
school, with most students attending once<br />
a week.<br />
“We also offer one-on-one tutoring for<br />
adult students, who may need to improve<br />
their English or maths skills for work they<br />
want to apply for.”<br />
There are several funding subsidies<br />
available for Kip McGrath tutoring.<br />
Kip McGrath Ferrymead franchise owner Helen<br />
Hudson helping a student<br />
Registered Ngai Tahu members receive<br />
some funding, as do registered members<br />
of the Rotorua-based Tauhara No. 2 Trust.<br />
Fletchers also provide funding subsidies for<br />
family members of their employees.<br />
Free assessments are offered, and students<br />
can enroll at any time of the year.<br />

Vote keeps clubs in reserve grade<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
LYTTELTON, Otautahi and<br />
Suburbs will continue to<br />
compete in the metro rugby<br />
premier reserve grade after a<br />
decision was overturned at a<br />
meeting last week.<br />
A Canterbury Rugby Football<br />
Union decision made three years<br />
ago meant teams wanting to<br />
compete in the premier reserve<br />
grade would have needed a team<br />
in the premier competition from<br />
next season.<br />
However, this requirement<br />
was overturned last week at a<br />
meeting between all 16 metro<br />
sub-union clubs. The three clubs<br />
which don’t have a team in the<br />
premier competition will now<br />
still be able to compete in the<br />
reserve grade.<br />
All of the metro sub-union<br />
clubs voted in favour of no<br />
changes being made to the teams<br />
currently competing in the<br />
premier reserve grade.<br />
“The clubs were given some<br />
material by the metro committee<br />
to talk to their boards about and<br />
come back with their boards’<br />
feelings based on the material<br />
we’d given them, which they<br />
did,” said metro sub-union<br />
committee chairman Brent<br />
Goldsmid.<br />
“It was basically unanimous<br />
that given the player number<br />
difficulties the sport faces,<br />
to restrict teams from the<br />
competition would make no<br />
Bid to promote<br />
squash in Sumner<br />
THE SUMNER Tennis and<br />
Squash Club wants to prevent<br />
squash from fading as a sport.<br />
The club will host the<br />
Canterbury masters and<br />
under-23 squash tournaments on<br />
Saturday and Sunday as part of<br />
an effort to promote the game in<br />
the region.<br />
Said president Phil Loughnan:<br />
“Hopefully this will be the<br />
first of many, with the club<br />
reintroducing a Sumner open<br />
next year.”<br />
“Squash nationally is a fading<br />
game, but it’s a great game the<br />
club is committed to growing,”<br />
Mr Loughnan said.<br />
STILL ALIVE: Lyttelton will continue to compete in the metro premier reserve competition after<br />
a decision to exclude them, Suburbs and Otautahi was overturned last week.<br />
He said it will be an<br />
opportunity to showcase the<br />
club’s rejuvenated facilities,<br />
which are “arguably the best in<br />
Christchurch.”<br />
The club on Heberden Ave<br />
has spent more than $1 million<br />
renovating the squash and tennis<br />
courts and associated facilities,<br />
which were reopened late last<br />
year.<br />
“The courts have new floors<br />
and lighting and have been<br />
heavily insulated to give excellent<br />
playing conditions,” he said.<br />

sense. The environment over the<br />
last three years has changed . . .<br />
three years ago, it was probably<br />
the right decision, now it’s not<br />
and we’re happy to change that.”<br />
Lyttelton club president<br />
SPORT<br />
Clinton Norris said he was<br />
confident going into the meeting<br />
about the future of the three<br />
clubs, but was surprised by the<br />
amount of support for the clubs<br />
to continue competing in the<br />
reserve competition.<br />
“To listen to what the clubs<br />
had to say was overwhelming. It<br />
means we can all work together<br />
and make something better for<br />
our local rugby,” said Norris.<br />
The decision, which would<br />
have ruled Lyttelton, Otautahi<br />
and Suburbs out of the premier<br />
reserve grade, came to light<br />
recently, with vocal support for<br />
it to be overturned on social<br />
media.<br />
“We got up two months ago<br />
and just spilt the beans about<br />
what effect it would have on our<br />
clubs and how hard it would<br />
be. No one had thought about a<br />
pathway and then we asked for a<br />
full review,” said Norris.<br />
Lyttelton currently have two<br />
senior teams and eight junior<br />
teams. Suburbs have two senior,<br />
a colts, a women’s and seven<br />
junior teams. Otautahi have two<br />
senior and four junior teams.<br />
Experienced new coach appointed<br />
THE REDCLIFFS Tennis Club<br />
has appointed an internationally<br />
experienced new head coach.<br />
Originally from Canterbury,<br />
Alan Adair has been coaching<br />
at a high level in Germany<br />
for many years, but recently<br />
returned to Christchurch with<br />
his family.<br />
He replaces Jack Tiller, who<br />
has taken up a role in Ashburton<br />
as head coach of the Mid-<br />
Canterbury region. Adair brings<br />
a great deal of expertise to the<br />
club and can coach at all levels<br />
– from absolute beginners to<br />
professionals.<br />
His goal is to teach tactically<br />
intelligent tennis, which<br />
suits each player’s individual<br />
strengths and weaknesses.<br />
The former junior New<br />
Zealand age group champion<br />
has previously been the<br />
Southland regional coach and<br />
also coaches at the Kaiapoi and<br />
Amberley clubs.<br />
TACTICAL:<br />
Alan<br />
Adair has<br />
replaced<br />
Jack Tiller<br />
as Redcliffs<br />
Tennis Club<br />
head coach.<br />
Adair will be available to<br />
meet potential new members at<br />
the ‘love tennis’ open day from<br />
1-4pm on September 7 and 8 at<br />
the Redcliffs club.<br />

High build quality for new Toyota RAV4<br />
Motoring<br />
Ross Kiddie<br />
IT HAS TO be said – Toyota has<br />
really upped the ante with its new<br />
RAV4.<br />
I remember writing about the<br />
interior of the previous generation<br />
model, referencing the hard plastic<br />
trim and low grade materials<br />
which formed the cockpit.<br />
That has all changed, the new<br />
RAV4 is a quantum leap, premium<br />
linings have been used,<br />
soft-touch surfaces have been<br />
included, and the layout of the<br />
controls is comprehensive but<br />
simplistic to understand.<br />
All this from a model which<br />
isn’t graded as high-specification.<br />
This evaluation surrounds the<br />
GXL model which still gets cloth<br />
seat trim – yet I believe these are<br />
the seats for Christchurch. Every<br />
morning the RAV4 was in my<br />
care the temperature was below<br />
0 deg C and freezing. It was nice<br />
to get into the relative warmth of<br />
cloth as opposed to leather.<br />
The <strong>2019</strong> RAV4 lands in eight<br />
variants. I evaluated the rangetopping<br />
hybrid in July, and<br />
reported that it was the most<br />
sensible model in the series. However,<br />
there are petrol-only models<br />
for those who don’t want to go<br />
down the hybrid road. There are<br />
three models with 2-litre engines<br />
driving through the front wheels<br />
only, and two 2.5-litre all-wheeldrive<br />
variants – the GXL and<br />
Adventure.<br />
The GXL 4WD lands at $41,990<br />
($48,990 Adventure), which to<br />
me represents good buying and,<br />
as my introduction suggested, it<br />
is now a car which borders on the<br />
luxury car class such is its build<br />
quality and drive comfort.<br />
A lot of the latter has to do with<br />
a brand new platform, the RAV4<br />
is totally fresh from the ground<br />
up, and it’s something Toyota has<br />
put a big effort into. Well, when<br />
the car you are marketing sits<br />
in the one of the busiest market<br />
segments, then it has to be good<br />
to compete.<br />
Yes, the mid-size sport utility<br />
market is crowded, but the RAV4<br />
has a healthy reputation and solid<br />
grounding.<br />
Under the bonnet sits a revised<br />
version of the four-cylinder<br />
2487cc engine that has served<br />
Toyota well for several years.<br />
While its basic construction<br />
hasn’t changed a lot, it has been<br />
refined for higher power outputs<br />
and greater efficiency. Toyota rate<br />
it with 152kW and 243Nm, both<br />
outputs peaky at 6600rpm and<br />
4000-5000rpm respectively.<br />
TOYOTA RAV4 GXL: Significant off-road capability.<br />
That matters little, the specific to be honest, I felt it a little unnecessary,<br />
but it’s there for when<br />
outputs are high enough to provide<br />
solid performance, an 8.5sec maximum performance is needed<br />
standstill to 100km/h time can be and/or that quick hill burst over to<br />
expected, along with a highway the peninsula bays.<br />
overtake of 5sec (80-120km/h), Interestingly, the 2.5-litre<br />
and there are drive modes which engine is coupled to a traditional<br />
you can choose from to suit every six-speed automatic transmission;<br />
driving journey – normal, sport or there are no surprises there,<br />
economical.<br />
but I’ve mentioned it because<br />
When in the latter, there’s a the 2-litre variant utilises a<br />
good chance you could meet continuously variable automatic.<br />
Toyota’s combined cycle fuel usage<br />
claim of 6.7-litres per 100km 2.5 has smooth shifts and can be<br />
The conventional gearbox on the<br />
(42mpg). During my testing time manipulated through a sequential<br />
the average readout was listing shifting system at the main<br />
at around 9l/100km (32mpg) gearshift lever.<br />
with 6l/100km (47mpg) available<br />
instantaneously at 100km/h, certainly excels. and that is a trib-<br />
In terms of handling, the RAV4<br />
the engine just loping over at ute to the way the new platform<br />
1600rpm.<br />
is designed. It is a true driver’s car<br />
Even in normal mode the engine with solid turn-in and fabulous<br />
feels free and lively, there’s a lot of suspension control. The fullyindependent<br />
front-strut/rear-<br />
reciprocating mass, but it is smooth<br />
in its delivery and responsive to wishbone system has spring and<br />
throttle request. In sport mode damper rates beautifully compromised<br />
between handling there is a constant eagerness and,<br />

• Price – Toyota RAV4 GXL,<br />
$41,990<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4600mm; width, 1855mm;<br />
height, 1685mm<br />
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />
four-wheel-drive,<br />
2487cc, 152kW, 243Nm,<br />
six-speed automatic.<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 8.5sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 6.7l/100km<br />
comfort. Sure, at almost 1.7m tall<br />
the body does have some gravitational<br />
movement, but it is well<br />
arrested and handling balance is<br />
unaffected.<br />
Bear in mind too, the fourwheel-drive<br />
RAV has several offroad<br />
drive modes which provide<br />
the model with serious off-road<br />
potential.<br />
As much as I enjoyed the GXL’s<br />
traditional driveline, I’m sticking<br />
by my comment that the hybrid<br />
is the pick of the range and would<br />
certainly be my choice.<br />
Yet, I’m fully aware that RAV4<br />
buyers want just that little point<br />
of difference to other SUV owners<br />
and, I guess, that’s what Toyota<br />
was thinking of when it included<br />
an Adventure model into the<br />
range. It has body kits and an<br />
interior colour contrasts which<br />
are vivid and striking.<br />
I’m due to evaluate it soon and<br />
from what I’m hearing it is the<br />
go-to model. Just as well, then,<br />
Toyota has a RAV4 for all tastes.

‘Feedback I get from clients is that they never would<br />
have seen & experienced as much in a destination<br />
if they had been free wheeling it themselves – the Tour<br />
Directors really add value and bring a destination alive and save you time<br />
and energy figuring out the good spots! Not to mention the cost of parking’.<br />

‘From the touring I have done there was no way I<br />
could put together an itinerary & price that offered<br />
better value than a coach tour. When you consider you<br />
have all of your accommodation, transport, key sightseeing and sometimes<br />
special dining experiences all included – it’s unbeatable’!<br />
