Security company’s bid to
lower crime in Lyttelton
• By Jess Gibson
CLAIMS OF a lack of policing
in Lyttelton has led to a private
security company patrolling the
streets.
Residents have been complaining
about an increase in crimes such
as vehicle damage and theft during
hours where there is no police
presence.
The Lyttelton police station is
only staffed between 8am-5pm –
after that, any calls are taken by
police in Christchurch.
In response, private security
company Tactical Response Team
has been patrolling the streets since
August 20, on Tuesdays, Thursdays
and Saturdays, 9pm until 3am.
However, police statistics show
that crime has not significantly
increased in Lyttelton.
A trend shows levels of reported
crime in Lyttelton have remained
relatively stable over the past two
years.
There has been no consistent
increase this year, with crime
numbers fluctuating from month
to month.
The highest number of crimes
reported this year was 53 in
February, the lowest number
reported was 28 in April – the
average number of crimes for the
year so far is 41.

THE LEGACY of the 2011 earthquakes
still continue to wreak havoc.
Right now they continue to tear the
heart out of Sumner business (see page
4-5).
It took a long time for the retail and
cafe area to recover from the three big quakes in 2011. But
now roadworks which are under way as part of upgrades to
the village have put some back to square one.
Chrissie Beardsley, who owns Chrissie’s Label Clothing on
Nayland St, is feeling the full force of the downturn.
She has managed to stay afloat with other funding, otherwise
and she would have been forced to shut-up shop.
The silver lining is once the roadworks and other
improvements to the area are finished, Sumner will be
looking pretty good.

Reserve status unlikely to be revoked
• By Jess Gibson
THE DEPARTMENT of
Conservation does not believe
an argument could be made to
revoke the reserve status of a
former Maori burial ground.
There have been ongoing discussions
about returning ownership
and management of Purau
Maori Reserve to local runanga
over the past century.
A report
was presented
to the Banks
Peninsula Community
Board
in May last year
which gave two
options to return
Andrew
Turner
ownership to
local hapu Ngati
Wheke, one of
which would reclassify
the land from recreation
reserve to historic reserve.
The second and preferred
option was to revoke the reserve
status, which would enable the
city council to then consider
returning the land to Te Hapu o
Ngati Wheke.
The report was laid on the
table while clarification was
sought on the derivation of the
reserve and claims of error in
the report.
This was because the Purau
Residents Association argued
any decision to revoke the
tree trouble?

LAND: Reserve status is unlikely to be revoked at a Maori burial ground on Purau Ave, which
must happen in order for local runanga to reclaim the land.
reserve status would be an illconsidered
act of privatisation.
However, that report has now
been “formally withdrawn by
city council staff.”
The community board was
presented with information
within the area report at its
meeting on Monday.
It said the report was withdrawn
due to it being unlikely
that the original recommendation
from staff can proceed.
DoC staff stated that given
the current location, use and
historical significance of the
reserve, they did not believe an
argument could be made that
the land has no reserve value.
Ngati Wheke representatives
have indicated to the city council
they are now seeking further
advice from Ngai Tahu and the
process is ongoing.
Rapaki representative Yvette
Couch-Lewis was unable to
respond before the Bay Harbour
News’ deadline.

Peninsula councillor Andrew
Turner requested clearer wording
around DoC’s statement
that they did “not believe” the
reserve status could be revoked.
He said wording needed to
be clearer before the community
board accepted the statement
as there has been a lot of
community interest in the
issue.
It is expected that a revised
report will come to the
community board within the
next three years.

City council staff will investigate
problems with rubbish at
Corsair Bay. There have been
ongoing issues with bins not
being emptied regularly enough,
which has upset residents. There
has also been concern over the
proximity of the bins to the water
and the visual impacts this has
for visitors. Meanwhile, graphics
and colours for new Bigbelly Bins
being installed in Akaroa are set
to be considered at a meeting
today.
2500 PLANTS FOR RESERVE
THe Diamond Harbour reserve
management committee estimates
about 2500 plants have been dug
in around the reserve so far this
year. It compares to 1800 which
were planted last year. There are
still 400 plants available for use
by the committee for 2019 and it
is yet to be decided how these will
be used.

Road works in Sumner Village push
Road works being
undertaken as part of the
Sumner Village Master
Plan are causing havoc
for businesses. Jess
Gibson reports
TEN YEARS ago, Chrissie
Beardsley’s dream of owning a
second-hand designer clothing
store became a reality.
With Sumner in mind as the
perfect location, she opened
Chrissie’s Label Clothing on
Nayland St and quickly saw her
business thrive.
She faced turmoil in 2011
when the earthquake struck
and resulted in a downturn in
business – but the friendships she
had formed with customers gave
her the motivation to hang on.
Now the road works which
are being done as part of the
city council’s Sumner Village
upgrades have pushed her to her
limit.
Ms Beardsley said she was
lucky she managed to keep afloat
with other funding, otherwise
and she would have been forced
to “shut up shop.”
Dust and noise have permeated
through Sumner’s main streets
since work began in March to
build new road surfaces, kerbs,
DOWNTURN: Chrissie Beardsley has put up 30 per cent off signs at her store Chrissie’s Label
Clothing in an attempt to make back the average loss of $1000 a week she has suffered f.
footpaths, stormwater drains,
landscaping, and add feature
paving.
Diggers, fencing and road
cones can be seen on Marriner
St, Wakefield Ave, Burgess St and
Nayland St.
Outside shops, some footpaths
have been closed, parking has
been reduced and Marriner St
and Wakefield Ave are often
reduced to one lane of traffic.
Eventually, the enhancement
works will improve the
functionality, safety, connectivity
and amenity of Sumner Village.
It will provide new street
furniture, landscaped areas, cycle
lanes, a paved shared space and
crossing points, wider footpaths
and a slower speed environment.
And with construction ball
parked to be completed by the
end of the month, Ms Beardsley
has “no idea” what she will feel
when it is all over.
She described the entire
process as “soul-destroying.”
‘Thirty per cent off’ signs
remain in her shop window at a
time when they would usually
be stored away in an attempt to
make back the average loss of
$1000 a week she has suffered.
“I’ve been crying over it,” she
said.
“No one has come and talked
to me and asked how the business
is going. I could have shown
them my financial books which
had dropped from $2000 to $300
a week – that’s a big change.”
Ms Beardsley’s is not the only
business to take a hit.
Two shops, one of which has
been in Sumner for 21 years, now
lie vacant.
“Customers have been
struggling to get around with the
one-ways and no parking. It’s just
about wiped us off the planet,”
Ms Beardsley said.

business owners to the limit
CLOUD cafe and Korean Tapa
Bar owner Marty Moon opened
his business on Marriner St five
months ago, about the same time
work started on the upgrades.
“We have been affected quite a
lot,” he said.
But in spite of the hit he has
taken while trying to make a
name for his
business, Mr
Moon said he
has been happy
with the way
contractors have
dealt with the
process.
Sara
Templeton
He said they
have made an
effort to keep him
regularly updated
as the project progresses through
its different stages.
Across the road, Joe’s Garage
Sumner owner Callum Brownlee
said he usually notices a steady
increase in business year on
year. However, there has been no
growth this year so far.
Heathcote Ward city councillor
Sara Templeton acknowledged
the road works have been a
difficult feat for the shops which
had to wear the downturn.
But she said once they are
completed, it will be a great
payoff.
TAKING THE HIT: CLOUD cafe and Korean Tapa Bar owner
Marty Moon says he has been affected by the road works.
“Making a much more

of what the community wanted
to enable the area to thrive.

amazing.”

understand the upgrades have
been a disruptive time for the
community.
“The council and contractor
engaged with the local businesses
prior to construction to minimise
the impact of any disruption,”
she said.
Ms Ellis said it was agreed
early in the project that the works
would be undertaken during the
winter when visitor numbers are
generally lower.
She said weekend work was
limited to Saturday mornings
to ensure businesses received a
break from construction activity.
“Our team are talking with the
businesses on a weekly basis to
discuss issues and where possible
work in with them to alleviate
concerns.”

Bees to benefit from book
• By Jess Gibson
A FICTIONAL sun bear
illustrated by Lyttelton artist
Celia Allison is helping to save
bees.
Ms Allison, author Teresa
Kiddell and editor Sorcha
O’Malley are preparing to
launch the new children’s book
Gwendolyn Bear and the Honey
Bees this month, which is bee
awareness month.
In a lighthearted, rhyming tale
with an important message, the
book signifies the plight of bees
and the importance of looking
after the species to ensure the
survival of mankind.
“I’ve been up to the gift fair in
Auckland recently and there was
an enormous response to it,” Ms
Allison said.
Port Hills MP Ruth Dyson
will be a guest speaker at the first
launch event, which will be held
at The Lyttel Kiwi, 15 London St
on September 13.
“I’m really pleased I’ve got a
wonderful guest speaker, it will
be neat. People can come in, have
a drink, listen to her speak and
buy a book if they want to,” Ms
Allison said.
More than 5000 copies have
been printed so far and will be
sold in stores across the country
and in Christchurch including
Scorpio Books, Piccadilly Books
and Take Note Ferrymead.
GOOD CAUSE: Illustrator Celia Allison and author Teresa
Kiddell will launch their book Gwendolyn and the Honey Bees
in Lyttelton on September 13. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
Fifty cents from each $22.99
book will go towards the Trees
for Bees NZ programme, which
aims to maximise the health and
survival of bees.
Gwendolyn Bear and the
Honey Bees has been a concept of
Ms Kiddell’s for 42 years and the
new book will be the first she has
ever published.
Ms Kiddell has been an
accountant for Ms Allison for
almost 20 years and pitched the
idea to her in January.
Ms Allison described her
illustrations as “a whimsical,
watercolour pencil style with a
lot of detail.”
She is best known for her
illustrations Cecily and Moa
Revival, which have been printed
onto merchandise such as
stationery and tea towels.
“I haven’t done a children’s
book for years, it’s going back a
couple of decades now,” she said.
Ms Kiddell said she is very
excited to have the book
published after having it “in the
back of her mind” for so long.
“I can’t believe it’s out.”

Traffic controls to stay
along Sumner Rd
• By Jess Gibson
THE PARKING restrictions
and traffic controls which
allowed Sumner Rd to be
safely re-opened will be made
permanent.
Temporary traffic
management measures, like
no stopping, no overtaking, no
right turn, no entry restrictions
and stop and give way signs,
enabled the road to reopen on
March 29.
Now those controls will be
made permanent after the
Banks Peninsula Community
Board approved the move at its
meeting on Monday.
The restrictions aim to make
Sumner Rd safer, as it is the
dangerous goods route for
trucks travelling to Lyttelton
and is popular with tourists,
sightseers and residents.
Section of planned controversial
walkway given the green light
• By Jess Gibson
A SMALL part of the
contentious Head to Head
Walkway route has been
approved.
The Banks Peninsula
Community Board signed
off the section from Marine
Drive at Paradise Beach to the
Charteris Bay Yacht Club.
The city council received
mixed feedback from the
community on route options
between Orton Bradley Park
and the Charteris Bay Yacht
Club. The five options the
city council proposed for the
section through Charteris Bay
were opposed by the residents’
association.
However, there was wider support
for the small route which
has been approved.
During the board meeting on
Monday, two affected residents
spoke about their concerns
over how the track would be
developed. They are worried
about privacy, environmental
impacts, health and safety and
anti-social behaviour. The city
council is working to develop
the rest of the track in stages.

UP TO 3000 native
seedlings will be planted
in Port Levy to help
biodiversity flourish.
The Banks Peninsula
water zone committee
is holding a community
planting day at
Koukourārata Marae
on Saturday. One of the
committee’s priorities is
protecting and enhancing
environmental values.
The planting will help
protect the quality of the
stream on the marae’s
boundary, which runs
from the mountain to
the sea, as well as provide
shelter for native species.
Peter Ramsden,
of Koukourārata
Marae, said the project
was possible because
of funding from the
committee’s immediate
steps programme.
“The land is joint
between Koukourārata
and the wider community,
so there is some farmers’
land in there too,” he said.
“All trees going in will
be native, they always are,
but this is a big number
of trees, all because of the
IMS funding.”
Banks Peninsula
zone facilitator Shelley
Washington said the
planting will “complete
the connection” between
the Kakanui conservation
covenant and the coast.
“This stream or gully
could be seen as the
umbilical cord that
connects Kakanui, which
represents papatūānuku
and Te Ara Whanui
Makwhui (Koukourarata
Bay) which represents
Tangaroa,” she said.
“It is part of a goal that
FLOURISH:
Native
seedlings will
be planted
by the
community at
Port Levy on
Saturday.
Help plant out the peninsula
the Banks Peninsula is
recognised in the region
for showcasing flourishing
biodiversity.
“The committee
has many other goals,
such as supporting the
implementation of the
Whakaraupō catchment
management plan;
increasing community
understanding of mahinga
kai; minimising sediment
discharge into waterways,
and supporting freshwater
education programmes
and community-led
projects.”
•Anyone attending
the planting day should
take a pair of gardening
gloves, a spade, water
bottle and warm
clothing. Meet at the
Port Levy jetty, Puari Rd,
at 9am to walk to the
marae.

Old Skellerup factory
demolition under way
• By Jess Gibson
A LARGE portion of the
remaining abandoned Skellerup
factory is being demolished at its
former Woolston site.
The BL Family Trust own
the 59,801 sq m section of land
on Garlands Rd and is in the
process of clearing more than
70 per cent of the earthquakedamaged,
asbestos-filled
buildings.
Skellerup, which makes
rubber goods, moved out in 2016
to a new $60 million premises
in Wigram. It sold the Woolston
site ‘as is where is’.
BL Family Trust representative
Vipan Garg said the demolition
is taking place in order to
clean up the “eyesore” which is
derelict and attracting vandals.
“It was a problem within the
community. People were getting
into the buildings, as they were
left unattended.”
National Steel, the main site
occupant, processes and sorts
metal on the empty
land and will continue
to use one building as a
“hub” which has been
deemed safe by an
engineer.
Fair Auto
Dismantlers, Lowe
Industries and NZ
Besthome Furniture
also occupy the shedlike
buildings on the
site, which have been
assessed as safe.
The BL Family Trust
has applied for a proposed
boundary adjustment to three
main lots on the site and wants
it to be processed by the city
council.
However, demolition project
manager Jarrad Smith said there
are no plans to sell or develop
the area at this stage.
He said the purpose
of the boundary
adjustment is to
square off the land
into three clear
parcels.
“Potentially,
at some point,
something will
happen with the site.
What that is and
when that is hasn’t
been determined.
Vipan Garg There is still a year
or so of work to be
done,”Mr Smith said.
The demolition may take up
to a year and the remaining
materials will be dumped at the
Kate Valley landfill.
Crime may be
going unreported
•From page 1
Lyttelton Police Sergeant
Franco Lovrich said incidents
may be going unreported.
“If it’s not life-threatening,
call 105 and report
incidents so we can
monitor what is going
on and target it as appropriate,”
he said.
Residents have been
taking to Facebook
pages such as Lyttelton
– Ain’t No Place I’d
Rather Be – to post
about crimes which
are mainly happening
outside of police presence
hours.
However, fewer
people have been
posting about crime
since the patrols started.
A community meeting
has been set up
to address residents’
concerns. It will be held
on Sunday, 5pm, in the
Lyttelton Arts Factory,
1 Sumner Rd.
The meeting will be
attended by Sergeant
Lovrich, residents and
community board members.
Tactical Response Team operations
director Shannon Mudge is
a Lyttelton resident and wanted
to put the concerns of fellow
residents at ease with help from
his colleague Shane Fuller.
Said Mr Mudge: “We’re not the
police, we’re just there to deter
any crime. If we can stop it before
it happens that’s a win for us.”
“If we can manage the situation
we will deal with it, but if it’s
out of our control we will log it
and report it to the police,” Mr
Mudge said.
“If there is one person breaking
in and we see it, by all means, we
will try and stop it.”
Mr Mudge said the patrols have
been quiet and they have not had
to deal with anything problematic
so far.
Superintendent Lane Todd
said police would be
interested in having
“further conversations
with them in
relation to how they
are going to operate.”
He said he would
rather them be affiliated
with one of the
community patrols
as they have a good
working relationship
with police.
Community
patrollers are volunteers
working
closely with police
as extra “eyes and
ears” to help build
safer communities.
Tactical Response
Team is licensed and
all of its security
guards are vetted,
selected, trained and
equipped to attend
incidents.
They patrol in a vehicle and on
foot in areas which are targeted
by offenders, dressed in black
uniforms showing the TRT logo.
Mr Mudge and Mr Fuller
are also offering “welfare
checks.”
“If someone is away for the
weekend and they want us to
look around their property to
make sure the doors and windows
are okay or if someone is
sick and they need a checking up
on, we will do that as well,” Mr
Mudge said.
Said Lyttelton Community
Association Ken Maynard: “It
would be better if the police were
doing this, but if they can’t or
won’t this is probably better than
not having anything at all.”

the cameras at Rolleston Reserve

NEW FRIENDS: Vittoria and grace share a moment.
Bonding with cousins
I’M PLEASED to say that I
believe the seeds have been sown
for a grand ambition of mine.
A solid friendship between
Vittoria and her similarly aged,
Italian-based cousin Grace seems
to be growing.
I dearly hope the two will have
a lifelong intercontinental mateship
with constant communication,
visits and bilingual teenage
gossip. Although I dare say it
started off a little rocky.
We’re still in Italy and took a
quick trip to stay at my sister-inlaw
Christine’s place in Roveredo,
a town about 30min drive north
of Pravisdomini. It’s roughly
Rangiora-size and is pretty close
to the alps and a large United
States Air Force base.
Christine’s place is 2min up
the road (literally the same road)
from her son William, his partner
Sara and their daughter Grace’s
place. Although the two cousins
had briefly met a week after we
arrived, they were both tired and
we went out to eat soon after.
On our way to Christine’s, we
stopped in for a long and leisurely
lunch at William and Sara’s, giving
the two the perfect opportunity
to start bonding. But being
a toddler is tough they say, and
sharing is a hard lesson to learn.
So of course Vittoria rushed to
claim all of her cousin’s toys as
soon as we arrived.
As I’m a bloke, and because
there was a barbecue on, I made
a beeline for the beer and banter
outside, cleverly escaping the ensuing
screaming match between
the cousins. From what I did see
they seemed like they’d never
learn to peacefully coexist.
But, lo and behold, after Grace
had a nap and Vittoria had a
(huge) feed they were suddenly
like two different, non-screaming
people. There was even a few
cute wee cuddles. Although we
weren’t together all day, every day
while we were there, you could
tell they were growing fonder of
each other each time they met
up; touching hands, sharing toys
(mostly) and babbling away to
each other. Vittoria even learned
to say her cousin’s name.
What really proved it for me
was when we were saying our
goodbyes. Vittoria was waving
away in my arms to Grace as she
sat in the back of her mum’s car.
As the car started to move and
Vittoria realised her new friend
was leaving, she burst into tears
(the real ones with the big bottom
lip) and reached out for the car.
I love seeing a plan come
together, especially mine.

mitre 10 mega ferrymead
lend a helping hand
On thursday 8th August, the Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead team
lent a helping hand to the Diamond Harbour croquet club.
The Croquet Club had reached out to Mitre 10 MEGA
Ferrymead asking for assistance in re-levelling their
greens, as overtime, and due to an earthquake, some
patches had sunk and warped. Given that the youngest
club member was 70, there was a need for some
spring-chickens to come in for the heavy lifting.
After the original date was postponed due to heavy
rain, the Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead team finally made
tracks for the beautiful Diamond Harbour setting on
Banks Peninsula. The day began with a quick croquet
lesson, then unloading the 2-tonne tipper truck, thanks
to Kennards Hire, full of soil. Once
the truck was emptied it was
obvious that the job required
more soil, so a couple of the crew
headed back to base to pick
up another load, while the rest
began spreading the soil.
The club’s members kindly
served up a delicious homemade
morning tea, lunch and
afternoon snack.
After a full day of shovelling, raking, rolling and
smoothing it was clear that the job was a little bigger
than anticipated. So, the team finished up in the
evening and decided to come back for a couple of
hours the following week to add the finishing touch –
sewing the grass seed.
The Diamond Harbour Croquet Club were so grateful
for the work that went into the project. They are lovely
people that put on a delicious feast in return for the
work. I’m sure the team will be back (once the grass has
grown) to try their hand at a game of croquet!

We were thrilled to learn that Mitre 10 Mega offered a

and improve the grass quality. The price was providing
lunch, morning and afternoon teas for a group of six
very pleasant and hardworking staff.
We are thrilled that our biggest challenge for next

Tasty Bites
Creating healthy food to reduce stress
Stress is normal and often
healthy. In everyday life,
stress plays a role in alerting
us to life’s occasional
dangers and challenges, so
we can prepare ourselves for
them and find solutions to
impending problems. Poke
bowls (pronounced pohkay)
are based on the bitesized
marinated fish salad
famous in Hawaii and have
some great stress-relieving
qualities
Poke bowl

½ cup chopped fresh coriander
½ cup edamame beans, boiled
3 Tbsp tamari/soy sauce
2 Tsp sesame oil

with sesame seeds and sliced
lemon, then take an Instagramworthy
photo of it, feel grateful
for your nourishing food, and
then enjoy every mouthful.
Cabbage crisps
Ingredients
12 good-quality
cabbage leaves,
remove tough, centre
stalk
2 Tbsp good-quality
oil
1 tsp sea salt flakes
½ tsp cumin or caraway
seeds
Directions
Preheat oven to 120

Mazda convertible still has wow factor
Motoring
Ross Kiddie
I HAD TO look a long way back
in my diary to work out when
I last drove a manual gearbox
evaluation car. It was October last
year and it wasn’t actually a car, it
was a ute.
However, I was surprised and
delighted to pick up the latest
specification Mazda’s MX-5 twoseat
convertible, it was a six-speed
manual and is the subject of this
evaluation. It was also my favourite
of the series, the RF Limited
with its retractable hard-top.
The MX-5 needs no introduction,
it has led the way in affordable
performance models and
brings a smile to the face of all
who drive it.
There are three models in the
MX-5 range, the entry-level roadster
soft-top which gets a 1.5-litre
engine and starts at $41,895, and
there are two 2-litre models, one
is a soft-top at $49,195, the other
is the RF Limited, and at $53,745
it would most certainly be my
choice if I was in the convertible
market.
It’s fair to say, I’m not a huge
convertible fan, Christchurch’s
weather isn’t perfect for open top
driving, but the folding hard-top
is a work of art, the car looks
stunning, the convertible process
is quick, the mechanism is brilliant,
and when you are driving
with the roof closed over you’d
think for all money that it was
permanently sealed.
I’m not exaggerating when I
refer to the MX-5 as being genius.
It is adorably desirable, and is
probably the most amount of fun
you can get for the money. What
makes it so special is the engineering
layout, it is rear-wheeldrive,
and with its low ride height
and near perfect 50:50 weight
split there is a fully involving
driving feel.
The MX-5 is a result of continual
development, and in
2-litre form it has just had a safety
specification upgrade, it also
gets more power – up to 135kW
from 118kW and more torque at
205Nm, up from 200Nm. Perhaps
what makes the engine even
more exciting is that it is now
calibrated to rev more freely, the
point of maximum revolutions
has been raised to 7000rpm from
6000rpm, and it will explore the
entire rev band willingly.
As a consequence, the engine is
constantly eager – in all gears – it
is throttle sensitive and an absolute
joy to be behind the wheel of.

in around 6sec, and will move
through an overtaking opportunity
in 4.5sec (80-120km/h).
While these figures aren’t electrifying,
they are the foundation
of an exciting package, the way
the mechanicals combine to provide
the feel-good factor makes
you think that speed is greater
and, of course, sitting so low to
the ground the feeling of speed is
constant.
It must be considered as well
that in the manual gearbox model
the feel through the shift mechanism
is exciting in itself, the lever
has short throws both up and
down and through the gate, it
feels delightful and is one of the
reasons I like manual gearboxes so
much, the feeling of involvement
is constant. If the thought of using
a clutch is scary, the pedal on the
MX-5 is delicate with perfect feel,
the thought of stall need not be
considered.
Even though the MX-5 would
be at home on the Port Hills

Elevator Pitch
by Linwood Barclay
It all begins on a Monday, when four people board an elevator in a Manhattan office
tower. Each presses a button for their floor, but the elevator proceeds, non-stop, to the
top. Once there, it stops for a few seconds, and then plummets. Right to the bottom
of the shaft. It appears to be a horrific, random tragedy. But then, on Tuesday, it
happens again, in a different Manhattan skyscraper. And when Wednesday brings yet
another high-rise catastrophe, one of the most vertical cities in the world – and the
nation’s capital of media, finance, and entertainment – is plunged into chaos. Clearly,
this is anything but random. This is a cold, calculated bid to terrorize the city. And it’s
working. Fearing for their lives, thousands of men and women working
in offices across the city refuse leave their homes. Commerce
has slowed to a trickle. Emergency calls to the top floors of
apartment buildings go unanswered. Who is behind this? What
do these deadly acts of sabotage have to do with the fingerless
body found on the High Line? Two seasoned New York detectives
and a straight-shooting journalist must race against time to find
the answers . . . Pulsating with tension, Elevator Pitch is a riveting
tale of psychological suspense that is all too plausible . . . and will
chill readers to the bone.
A Single Thread
by Tracy Chevalier
If she was to make a mark on the world, she would have to do so in another
way… It is 1932, and the losses of the First World War are still keenly felt.
Violet Speedwell, mourning for both her fiancé and her brother and regarded
by society as a ‘surplus woman’ unlikely to marry, resolves to escape her
suffocating mother and strike out alone.
A new life awaits her in Winchester. Yes, it is one of draughty boarding-houses
and sidelong glances at her naked ring finger from younger colleagues; but it is
also a life gleaming with independence and opportunity. Violet falls in with the
broderers, a disparate group of women charged with embroidering kneelers for
the Cathedral, and is soon entwined in their lives and their secrets. As the almost
unthinkable threat of a second Great War appears on the horizon Violet collects a
few secrets of her own that could just change everything…
Warm, vivid and beautifully orchestrated, A Single Thread reveals one of our
finest modern writers at the peak of her powers.

roads, I’m loathe to use those
routes these days, there is a lot of
foot traffic and too many cyclists,
also speed restrictions are frustrating.
That being the case, I took
the test car on my usual highway
loop just east of the Malvern
Hills, taking in the twisty section
out of the Waimakariri River
gorge.
The wee MX-5 has extraordinary
handling, it steers with
absolute precision and is entertaining
through the rear when
power is applied forcibly. It has
been designed so that oversteer
is easily accessible, however, the
electronic traction control system
intervenes, although it is not
overly invasive, the fun factor
is still available. Of course, TCS
can be switched off, but even
with it activated the MX-5 is
still the handling champion, it is
entertaining and that is what has
always aroused buyers.
It wouldn’t be fair if I closed
this evaluation without mentioning
fuel use. While the MX-5 is
largely seen as a model which
entices throttle use, it still has
respectable fuel use statistics, with
a combined cycle claim by Mazda
of 6.9-litres per 100km (41mpg).
My time in the test car returned
figures of a respectable 8l/100km
(35mpg), which was good considering
I constantly applied heavy
throttle pressure. At 100km/h the
engine is turning over at a steady
2500rpm, providing an instantaneous
figure of 5.1l/100km
(55mpg).
As much as I delighted in the
RF Limited and all it represents,
I’m still fingers crossed that we
haven’t seen the end of the rotary
era. An RX-8 is very much on
my wish list, and if another
generation RX model should
roll off the production lines then
it’s fair to say I’m very much
interested.
However, in the interim it is
great cars like the MX-5 that
will keep petrol heads like me
entertained with their wow
factor.

REAL ESTATE
Private, peaceful
Purau rural retreat
52 Purau Port Levy Road, Purau Valley, Lyttelton Harbour
Price: $850,000 plus GST if any
2 bedrooms | 1 bathroom | 2 living rooms | 13ha | Listing Number: 9736
Seldom do properties such as this come
to the market but retiring vendors of 30
years have decided the time has come.
This is a wonderful location, peaceful
and private with wonderful bird song. Set
on 13.1369 hectares or 32.5 acres approx.
this charming 100m 2 home is both easycare
and warm. Commanding beautiful
views of the Purau Valley, Purau Bay and
Mt Evans, if you are looking for peace and
privacy then this one could be for you.
Set well off the road the house has
two double bedrooms, two living areas,
lovely decking and one bathroom. North
East facing and sheltered with a garage/
workshop adjacent to the house. The
garden is easy care and the land is a
mixture of pasture in five paddocks for
grazing, some bush and about 250 approx.
30 year old pine trees ready for harvesting.
The property is well fenced and has an
excellent water supply, a small stream and
a natural pond. Further down the driveway
there is a set of yards, a four bay implement
shed, a tractor shed with high stud and a
large high stud workshop with three phase
power. There is also a semi derelict house
from about the 1930s on the property.
This is an idyllic location and perfect for
a retiring farmer, someone wanting to get
into the firewood business or someone with
a portable mill to make use of all the trees.
Purau Bay is approximately 30 minutes’
drive from Christchurch, making it a
highly desirable destination as it is so
useable being close to Christchurch.
Properties in this lovely valley and by such
a safe swimming beach are defying all the
odds and selling fast generally as they come
up very seldom.
Excellent swimming, boating, walking
and stunning sunsets on the hills, quick
and easy access to Lyttelton via the
Diamond Harbour ferry (approx. five
mins), local shops, cafés and bar make this
a fun filled place to visit. Properties here
make an excellent investment and Purau
Bay and valley is a truly magical place to
live.
