• By Jess Gibson<br />

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 />

to start shooting in September<br />

so the film is wrapped up by<br />

December. People who donate<br />

on-screen credit and will be<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 />

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 />

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 />

8 at Te Ana Marina.<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 />

chief officer<br />

Bob Palmer<br />

writes about<br />

the highly<br />

trained crew<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
