from the editor’s desk<br />
PROGRESS LOOKS like it is being made<br />
in Lyttelton over the ongoing saga of police<br />
presence and crime (see page 1).<br />
Much of the community concern about<br />
both matters has stirred up a hornets’ nest<br />
on Facebook.<br />
That has led to the a private security company coming in and<br />
patrolling streets when police are not. You have to take your hat<br />
off to the security company for that.<br />
There was a meeting at the weekend where residents were able<br />
to thrash out their concerns. Police attended.<br />
The community patrol also needs more volunteers. What<br />
better way for the people complaining on Facebook to help out?<br />
And then there was the matter of two vehicles being stolen in<br />
Lyttelton after the meeting . . .<br />

Many views on new Akaroa wharf<br />
A NUMBER of Akaroa<br />
wharf users believe cruise<br />
ship-related congestion is<br />
limiting community use.<br />
The city council received 95<br />
submissions during a monthlong<br />
public consultation seeking<br />
ideas or suggestions on the<br />
wharf.<br />
Forty-eight<br />
submissions<br />
cited cruise ship<br />
crowding as<br />
an issue for the<br />
present wharf,<br />
followed by 19<br />
Harry<br />
Stronach<br />
submissions on<br />
safety concerns<br />
relating to the<br />
condition of the 130-year-old<br />
structure.<br />
Akaroa Ratepayers and<br />
Residents Association chairman<br />
Harry Stronach said local people<br />
are unable to use the wharf when<br />
it’s busy with cruise ships.<br />
“There’s just so many people<br />
and so much activity on the<br />
wharf that it becomes quite<br />
difficult. There are issues with<br />
safety as well.”<br />
Fourteen submitters have<br />
raised issues with tourism and<br />
retail premises restricting space,<br />
while <strong>11</strong> have voiced concerns<br />
over refuelling access.<br />
Ten are unhappy about access<br />
for recreational boats and that<br />
buses collecting cruise ship<br />
passengers are causing traffic<br />
congestion.<br />
Fifteen submitters believe any<br />
new wharf needs more seating<br />
while 14 suggest access for local<br />
fishing and tourist operators<br />
needs to be improved. Eleven<br />
want a jetty built south of the<br />
boat ramp or near the recreation<br />
ground to better service tour bus<br />
passengers.<br />
However, 32 submitters cite<br />
recreational fishing as “working<br />
well” with the current wharf<br />
and 24 are happy with the<br />
commercial and tourism use.<br />
Twenty believe boat access also<br />
“works well” and the wharf is a<br />
“historical asset.”<br />
Many favour an “over-water“<br />
restaurant or cafe, along with a<br />
shelter at the end of a new wharf.<br />
Nine submitters want the<br />
“heritage” wharf preserved,<br />
while eight want a new wharf<br />
with improved water and land<br />
access and a structure in keeping<br />
with the history of Akaroa.<br />
Meanwhile, several<br />
submissions favour the<br />
“picturesque” present wharf<br />
and its good location. Formal<br />
consultation on a concept design<br />
for the new wharf is due in early<br />
to mid-2020.<br />
City council head of parks<br />
Andrew Rutledge has welcomed<br />
the high level of community<br />
engagement on the wharf<br />
facilities.<br />
BIG<br />
RESPONSE:<br />
Plenty of<br />
feedback has<br />
been received<br />
about the<br />
future of the<br />
Akaroa wharf. <br />
“The range of views and<br />
suggestions clearly illustrates<br />
the high level of interest in the<br />
wharf, and the importance of<br />
having the community involved<br />
in the process,” he said.<br />
“Our next step will be further<br />
consultation with the Banks<br />
Peninsula Community Board as<br />
we move closer to a formulated<br />
concept design for the Akaroa<br />
wharf.”<br />
City council staff have been<br />
collating information on the<br />
condition of the wharf, including<br />
the impact on the environment<br />
of any new structure.<br />
The information – alongside<br />
the public feedback – will help<br />
with the design of a new wharf.<br />

Residents voice crime<br />
concerns at meeting<br />
•From page 1<br />
Senior Sergeant Appley<br />
was at the meeting and<br />
said residents were mainly<br />
concerned about crimes<br />
like property theft and<br />
damage.<br />
In response to residents’<br />
concerns, he said police will<br />
work on having a “high<br />
profile”.<br />
“We intend on working<br />
with the community to<br />
prevent as many crimes as<br />
possible.”<br />
Police will also meet<br />
more regularly with the<br />
community board, help<br />
explore the option of<br />
security cameras and look<br />
at how police and the<br />
community can work better<br />
together.<br />
The Lyttelton Police<br />
Station is only staffed<br />
between 8am and 5pm –<br />
after that calls are taken at<br />
the Christchurch Central<br />
Police Station.<br />
Private security company<br />
Tactical Response Team has<br />
been patrolling the streets<br />
at night to bridge the gap in<br />
police presence.<br />
Its operations director<br />
Shannon Mudge said<br />
TRT is now discussing the<br />
possibility of becoming<br />
affiliated with the<br />
community patrol, as it has<br />
a good working relationship<br />
with police.<br />

During the incident,<br />
witnesses pulled Mr Imrie<br />
out of the vehicle, but it<br />
was swept away before they<br />
were able to rescue Mrs<br />
Imrie.<br />
The memorial seat,<br />
which has a plaque paying<br />
tribute to Mrs Imrie, has<br />
been an idea of Mr Imrie’s<br />
since shortly after the<br />
crash. However, he had to<br />
wait until the section of<br />
the Christchurch Coastal<br />
Pathway was approved by<br />
the city council before it<br />
could go ahead.<br />
He has visited the site<br />
every week since the crash<br />
and hopes he will have a<br />
sense of closure now that<br />
the seat has been installed.<br />
Four flags are embellished<br />
on the plaque – the Welsh<br />
flag which represents Mrs<br />
Imrie’s birthplace and the<br />
English, Australian and<br />
New Zealand flags which<br />
symbolise the countries she<br />
lived in throughout her life.<br />

“We are quite willing to<br />

willing to, we can get them<br />

Lyttelton resident Vicki<br />
Tahau-Paton was satisfied<br />
with the outcomes reached<br />
at the meeting.<br />
“It’s a bit soon to tell and I<br />
don’t want to get too excited<br />
but I have faith (police) will<br />
come to the party with it,”<br />
she said.<br />
But she said it will not<br />
just be up to the police to<br />
make the difference.<br />
“I’m happy now.<br />
Hopefully it will be there<br />
forever,” he said.<br />
“We were together for 58<br />
years, so it means a lot to<br />
me.”<br />
The Coastal Pathway is a<br />
community-driven project<br />
directed by a committee<br />
with help from the city<br />
council.<br />
The 6km path from<br />
Ferrymead to Scarborough<br />
Beach will cater for<br />
children, pedestrians,<br />
cyclists, skateboarders, and<br />
people using scooters and<br />
wheelchairs.<br />
Ms Tahau-Paton said<br />
there was an emphasis at<br />
the meeting on residents<br />
helping to reduce crimes,<br />
such as closing garage<br />
doors.<br />
“It’s up to everyone in<br />
Lyttelton to partake in it,<br />
it’s not just one-sided.”<br />
Deputy mayor and<br />
city councillor Andrew<br />
Turner said there is an<br />
“understanding on the<br />
part of the police that some<br />
work needs to be done to<br />
restore the confidence of<br />
the community.<br />
“Equally, there are some<br />
things the community can<br />
do to work better with the<br />
police in terms of reporting<br />
crime and protecting<br />
property.”<br />
•The City to Sumner<br />
Community Patrol is<br />
seeking volunteers to help<br />
out in Lyttelton. If you are<br />
interested, phone Allan<br />
Bain on 021 361 434.<br />
Seat provides closure<br />
Mr Imrie paid for the seat<br />
out of his own pocket, and<br />
hopes it will be enjoyed by<br />
people using the walkway<br />
who knew Mrs Imrie.<br />
“She was well-known and<br />
liked in the area, especially<br />
with the kiddies and quite a<br />
few of the locals.”<br />
•A meet-up will be<br />
held at the site on<br />

The Girl Who Lived Twice:<br />
New dragon Tattoo Story<br />
by david Lagercrantz<br />
Lisbeth Salander’s mentor and protector Holger Palmgren<br />
is dead, and she has been gone from Stockholm since his<br />
funeral. All summer, Mikael Blomkvist has been plagued by<br />
the fear that Salander’s enemies will come after her. He should,<br />
perhaps, be more concerned for himself. In the pocket of an<br />
unidentified homeless man, who died with the name of a<br />
Swedish government minister on his lips, the police find a list<br />
of telephone numbers. Among them, the contact for Millennium<br />
magazine and the investigative journalist Mikael Blomkvist.<br />
Following the scorched trail of her twin sister Camilla to<br />
Moscow, Salander nevertheless continues to watch over her old<br />
friend. Soon Blomkvist will need her help. But first, she has an<br />
old score to settle; and fresh outrage to avenge. In a climax of<br />
shattering violence, Lisbeth Salander will face her nemesis. For<br />
the girl with the dragon tattoo, the personal is always political -<br />
and ultimately deadly.<br />
Driven<br />
By Hayden Paddon<br />
Hayden Paddon was just a boy growing up in Geraldine - in love<br />
with driving and dreaming big. Starting with nothing, and determined<br />
to beat the odds, he set out on a phenomenal 20-year pathway to<br />
the World Rally Championship, where he footed it with the best rally<br />
drivers on the planet. But it didn’t come easy. In Driven, Paddon<br />
details the many highs and lows along his road to the top. He opens<br />
up about his struggles with bullying and depression as a young<br />
man. He also goes on public record for the first time about his<br />
2017 accident in which a spectator was killed and his controversial<br />
dismissal from the Hyundai Motorsport team in 2018. It’s the real<br />
account from Paddon himself, in his own words, as he sets the<br />
record straight about his dramatic life on and off the road. Driven is<br />
a mile-a-minute autobiography that celebrates self-belief, hard work<br />
and turning dreams into reality.<br />

Pablo Escobar’s wife reveals the real man behind the notorious drug<br />
lord’s legend. This is the closest you’ll ever get to the most infamous<br />
drug kingpin in modern history, told by the woman who stood by<br />
his side.<br />
**A Sunday Times Book of the Year**<br />
The closest you’ll ever get to the most infamous drug kingpin in<br />
modern history, told by the person who stood by his side<br />
The story of Pablo Escobar, one of the wealthiest, powerful and<br />
violent criminals of all time has fascinated the world. Yet the one<br />
person closest to him has never spoken out – until now. Maria<br />
Victoria Henao met Pablo when she was 13, eloped with him at<br />
15, and despite his numerous infidelities and violence, stayed by<br />
his side for the following 16 years until his death. At the same time,<br />
she urged him to make peace with his enemies and managed to<br />
negotiate her and her children’s freedom after Pablo’s demise.<br />
Through Ice & Fire<br />
By Sarah Laverick<br />
The wild and desolate expanses of Antarctica have been the setting<br />
for many famous exploits and misadventures: a place where every<br />
decision has life-or-death consequences.<br />
Legendary explorers such as Shackleton, Mawson and Scott<br />
continue to inspire to this day, and their faithful ships, the<br />
Endurance, Aurora and Tera Nova are vivid characters in their fateful<br />
voyages of discovery. The first and only Australian-built Antarctic<br />
flagship, Aurora Australis, and her crews have likewise secured a<br />
place in Antarctic history.<br />
This is the 30-year story of Aurora Australis and of her diverse<br />
charges - crew, technicians, scientists, explorers, writers and artists.<br />
It’s the tale of a problem-plagued construction, two devastating fires,<br />
a crippling besetment in ice and a blizzard-induced grounding in<br />
Antarctica. It tells of brave rescue missions of other ships and their<br />
grateful crews, and of the heroic administering of medical help while<br />
battling life-threatening temperatures and hurricane-force winds.<br />

Grant helps keep tug afloat<br />
LYTTELTON’S <strong>11</strong>2-year-old<br />
tugboat has been thrown a<br />
$41,620 funding lifeline.<br />
Tug Lyttelton Preservation<br />
Society was relying on a grant<br />
from the city council’s social,<br />
community development and<br />
housing development committee<br />
to help fund a $83,240 dry dock<br />
survey.<br />
The committee approved the<br />
grant on Wednesday, which will<br />
help cover conservation and<br />
maintenance<br />
work,<br />
including the<br />
survey.<br />
The ship<br />
has been out<br />
of service<br />
for the past<br />
two summer<br />
Phil Clearwater<br />
sailing<br />
seasons due to<br />
the need for repairs. This has led<br />
to financial losses for the society,<br />
whose members voluntarily keep<br />
the tug in full working order.<br />
The boat now has to go<br />
into dry dock before it can<br />
return to operation as a<br />
passenger vessel.<br />
Society board member Roger<br />
Ellery said the grant will help<br />
keep the tug operational.<br />
“We’ve put in hundreds of<br />
voluntary hours to preserve<br />
the tug, which really is a piece<br />
of living history. But it’s also<br />
tree trouble?<br />
call us 384 9630<br />

an interesting, unique tourist<br />
attraction that’s of great benefit<br />
to Christchurch,” he said.<br />
“We really want to become<br />
financially sustainable in the<br />
long term and, along with our<br />
other fundraising, this grant is a<br />
step in that direction.”<br />
Committee chairman and city<br />
councillor Phil Clearwater said<br />
the tug has historical and social<br />
significance and its retention<br />
and repair is worthy of support.<br />
“This is a much-loved piece of<br />
local history and a wonderful<br />
piece of craftsmanship that’s<br />
very accessible to the public as<br />
a passenger boat and tourist<br />
attraction.<br />
“The society’s volunteers have<br />
done a wonderful job of keeping<br />
it shipshape and we’re happy to<br />
offer some support to help keep<br />
the tug in action.”<br />
It is the first heritage<br />
incentive grant made under<br />
new guidelines which provide<br />
funding for “significant<br />
moveable heritage”.<br />
The society also recently<br />
received a $10,000 grant from<br />
the city council’s metropolitan<br />

who<br />
maintain<br />
Lyttelton’s<br />
<strong>11</strong>2-year-old<br />
tugboat.<br />
discretionary response grant<br />
fund. For several decades the tug<br />
helped ships get safely in and out<br />
of the harbour.<br />
On January 1, 1908, it escorted<br />
Antarctic explorer Ernest<br />
Shackleton’s ship Nimrod<br />
to Lyttelton Heads as people<br />
gathered on the surrounding<br />
hills to watch.<br />
The tug was retired from<br />
service in 1971, but since then<br />
has forged a new career as a<br />
passenger steamer, taking people<br />
on cruises around the harbour<br />
and on charter trips.<br />

IT IS JUST one month until<br />
residents and visitors can<br />
immerse themselves in French<br />
culture, history, entertainment<br />
and romance at Akaroa’s unique<br />

and music, featuring the bands<br />
Mundi and Dangerbaby.<br />
Early on Saturday morning,<br />
watch the theatrical history reenactment<br />
of The Landing on the<br />
main beach.<br />
It will tell the history and<br />
stories of the many and varied<br />
intrepid souls who travelled<br />
far and wide to make Banks<br />
Peninsula their home. It portrays<br />
the lead up to the arrival of The<br />
Comte de Paris in 1840, bringing<br />
59 French and German settlers to<br />
Akaroa.<br />
Stories are told of these first<br />
encounters; of local iwi, the<br />
whalers, trading sailors and<br />
the first farmers who set up in<br />
Akaroa.<br />
The characters will be played<br />
by local community members,<br />
with some playing their own<br />
ancestors. They will tell these<br />
stories in a lively, historically<br />
accurate, fun, immersive and<br />
audience inclusive way.<br />
Aided by the professional<br />
support of actors Michael Hurst,<br />
Jennifer Ward-Lealand, Nathan<br />
Bonner and The Wellington Sea<br />
Shanty Society, this performance<br />
was widely acclaimed as “the best<br />

product PopCoin.<br />
It was named the winner<br />
of the Canterbury Young<br />
Enterprise Product launch,<br />
which was sponsored by the Ara<br />
Institute of Canterbury.<br />
The business, which creates<br />
freshly-flavoured popcorn<br />
was founded by the year 13<br />
students – Meghan, and Eileen<br />
Prasad and Arnie Ferreras,<br />
of Riccarton, as well as New<br />
Brighton’s Tara Blackmore.<br />
The idea was formed<br />

after the students took part<br />
in the national Young Enterprise<br />
scheme – a programme aimed<br />
at inspiring young people to<br />
become involved in business.<br />
As part of the scheme, their<br />
challenge was to create a<br />
business idea. The students were<br />
debating between a salad bowl<br />
or popcorn.<br />
After undertaking research,<br />
they found there was a demand<br />
for popcorn.<br />
The students have made $100<br />
in the four months since the<br />
business has been running stalls.<br />
They have stalls at ARA, the<br />
New Brighton Seaside Market<br />
and the Riccarton Sunday<br />
Market.<br />
The flavours the students have<br />
created include savoury herb and<br />
cheese, salted caramel, chocolate<br />
popcorn and caramel banana.<br />
“We as a group have got a lot<br />
of interest in making food so<br />
we used our own knowledge<br />
and came up with the flavours,”<br />
Eileen said.<br />
Each student plays an<br />
important role in the<br />
business with Arnie as the<br />
finance manager, Tara as the<br />
communication and marketing<br />
manager and Meghan as the<br />
production manager.<br />
Social studies teacher Richard<br />
Jolly said the product has been<br />
so well-crafted they have sold<br />
out every time they have gone<br />
to market. The quirky name for<br />
the business emerged after the<br />
students were joking around<br />
about the term “popcoin” which<br />
featured in a children’s cartoon<br />
called The Big Lez Show.<br />

RESPONSIBILITY: Animal control officers will step up their<br />

Council keeping an eye<br />

frequently in the Lyttelton area to<br />
educate dog owners and enforce<br />
the bylaws.<br />

Owners are being urged to<br />
make sure their dogs are properly<br />
contained on their property and<br />
that they clean up after their dog<br />
when out and about.<br />
“That means having good<br />
fences and gates, not leaving dog<br />
poop lying around your property<br />
attracting flies, and always<br />
carrying suitable bags when<br />
you’re out with your dog,” Mr<br />
Vincent said.<br />
Any breach of the city’s dog<br />

fine.<br />

Smart bins to deal with rubbish<br />
in peninsula’s tourist hot spots<br />
NINE SMART rubbish bins<br />
costing $86,000 will be put<br />
across Banks Peninsula before<br />
November.<br />
The Ministry of Business,<br />
Innovation and Employment’s<br />
tourism infrastructure fund<br />
has paid for the bins as part of<br />
the Christchurch smart waste<br />
network.<br />
Six solar-powered Bigbelly<br />
rubbish bins will be installed in<br />
Akaroa, along with one in Little<br />
River, Corsair <strong>Bay</strong> and Naval<br />
Point in Lyttelton.<br />
They will be put in before the<br />
summer visitor season to help<br />
ease the pressure on collection<br />
services and facilities.<br />
The double bins will have wi-fi<br />
capability for members of the<br />
public to use<br />
within a 60m<br />
radius.<br />
A built-in<br />
solar cellpowered<br />
compactor<br />
means the<br />
bins can<br />
swallow<br />
Andrew<br />
Rutledge<br />
up to five<br />
times more<br />
rubbish than<br />
a standard waste bin, helping<br />
to deal with the influx of daytrippers,<br />
cruise ship visitors and<br />
freedom campers.<br />
The city council bins utilise<br />
smart sensors that detect<br />
rubbish levels and alert<br />
maintenance contractors when<br />
they are nearing capacity and<br />
need to be emptied.<br />
City council head of parks<br />
Andrew Rutledge said the smart<br />
‘Once in 50-year party’ at Redcliffs School this weekend<br />
hard and focused for so<br />
long now on bringing our<br />
school home,” she said.<br />
“It is very fitting that<br />
our major fundraiser this<br />
year should be a once<br />
in 50-year party and<br />
absolutely everyone is<br />
invited.”<br />

WASTE SOLUTION: Nine smart bins will be installed on<br />
Banks Peninsula before the busy summer visitor season<br />
starts.<br />
waste solution better addresses<br />
the needs of visitors who pour<br />
into the popular recreational<br />
areas.<br />
“By pin-pointing tourist<br />
hot spots and introducing<br />
more Bigbelly bins, we can<br />
better keep up with the<br />
demands on waste services,”<br />
Mr Rutledge said.<br />
“The smart bins prevent<br />
rubbish overflows, ensuring<br />
public spaces are better<br />
maintained during high-use<br />
periods over summer.<br />
“We can also optimise our<br />
waste collection service.<br />
“We will place the bins in the<br />
region’s high-demand areas,<br />
including the waterfront in<br />
The entertainment will include<br />
locally revered cover band<br />
Puree, while <strong>11</strong> prize packages<br />
worth more than $10,000 will be<br />
auctioned on the night.<br />
“Every year we are<br />
overwhelmed by the generosity<br />
shown by the community. It’s<br />
been eight years of working<br />
We will deliver!<br />
Akaroa.”<br />
The compacting and online<br />
alert systems also ensure<br />
optimum use of waste collectors’<br />
time while the technology<br />
prevents rubbish overflow, he<br />
said.<br />
Daily data provides updates<br />
on the capacity status of each<br />
bin.<br />
Akaroa’s public toilet facilities<br />
will also undergo an upgrade<br />
in preparation for the summer<br />
visitor rush.<br />
The existing block of public<br />
toilets in Rue Jolie – behind the<br />
Akaroa Service Centre – will<br />
be demolished to make way for<br />
a 13m long prefabricated block<br />
housing eight toilets.<br />
toward moving into a new<br />
school.”<br />

Wednesday <strong>September</strong> <strong>11</strong> <strong>2019</strong><br />
Bidding farewell to Italy<br />
OUR FINAL days here in Italy<br />
have arrived in what seems like a<br />
flash.<br />
Now we’re faced yet again with<br />
saying goodbye to friends and<br />
relatives, with hopeful boasts of<br />
returning again in three years.<br />
There’s also the upcoming long<br />
flights with Vittoria.<br />
We’ve wisely included a fourday<br />
stopover in Brisbane to catch<br />
up with people and re-adjust our<br />
body clocks to the Antipodean<br />
cycle.<br />
To be honest, due to the magic<br />
of international time zones,<br />
newspaper deadlines and my<br />
inability to write these while<br />
chasing my daughter around a<br />
metal tube with wings 30,000ft<br />
above the ground – we’re likely<br />
already in Australia as you read<br />
this.<br />
We’ve managed to fit quite a bit<br />
into our last week, including taking<br />
Vittoria on her first train rides.<br />
Over three days we forged a<br />
rough triangle around northwest<br />
Italy to visit some of Laura’s<br />
relatives who live in Turin and<br />
Pisa (obligatory Leaning Tower<br />
photo time).<br />
The trip was particularly<br />
special as it was the first time said<br />
relatives had met Laura, let alone<br />
Vittoria.<br />
Vittoria was great with them,<br />
OPEN SPACE: Vittoria at Piazza<br />
San Marco in Venice.<br />
and like all her family here, she<br />
warmed to them quickly and was<br />
soon rushing to them for cuddles<br />
after only knowing them for a<br />
matter of hours.<br />
Fortunately my wee darling<br />
even behaved herself on the up to<br />
four-hour train journeys, giving<br />
us the confidence needed to take<br />
her to Venice on Friday.<br />
I was fully against letting her<br />
out of her pram there as the<br />
headline “Kiwi toddler rescued<br />
from Venetian canal” practically<br />
writes itself. It also goes along<br />
VITTORIA<br />
& Matt<br />
with the phrase “father’s decisions<br />
questioned”.<br />
Lucky for me, Vittoria seemed<br />
to agree, and was content to<br />
watch her parents sweat to death<br />
under the baking sun while we<br />
carried her pram over the city’s<br />
billion or so canal bridges on the<br />
two-hour expedition to Piazza<br />
San Marco. She was so relaxed<br />
that she fell asleep briefly as we<br />
arrived in the famous square.<br />
However, against my better<br />
judgement, we let her out there<br />
(after she woke up) so she could<br />
take a run about the place I asked<br />
her mother to marry me.<br />
In another fit of good luck,<br />
grapes worked as a bribe to get<br />
her back in for the return trek<br />
and the only downside of the<br />
adventure was a scrapped knee.<br />
I hope such luck holds out for<br />
the return home.<br />

journalist Matt Salmons has<br />

dad. We follow his journey<br />
weekly.<br />
Brian Johnston responds<br />
to last week’s <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
News article about road<br />
works being undertaken<br />
as part of the Sumner<br />
Village Master Plan,<br />
which is causing havoc for<br />
businesses<br />
There is much wrong with the<br />
Sumner Village upgrade. I do not<br />
wish to be negative, but the bus<br />
stop should have stayed where it<br />
was.<br />
The buses could have pulled to<br />
the left. It only stops for one minute<br />
every hour and passengers<br />
would be able to see their bus<br />
coming. Instead, the bus stop will<br />
be outside the dairy, around the<br />
corner, where passengers cannot<br />
see the bus coming and it will<br />
take valuable parking away from<br />
dairy.<br />
Motorists will be tempted to<br />
park on the bus stop, which possibly<br />
could be okay if one knows<br />
the timetable.<br />
They have replaced the old tar<br />
footpaths with hot mix. They look<br />
dreadful and cannot be lifted and<br />
replaced for any maintenance.<br />
All of the footpaths should have<br />
been paved right along to Clink<br />
Restaurant and Bar (29 Wakefield<br />
Ave). There are pavers on the<br />
road, and tar on the footpath . . .<br />
what?<br />
Parking has been removed,<br />
replaced with raised hot mix<br />
and it serves no purpose . . . not<br />
aesthetic.<br />
Street lights are out of line and<br />
it does not look right, which is<br />
not pleasing to the eye and there<br />
is an unsatisfactory explanation<br />
for this.<br />
Also, the explanation the area<br />
will be more pedestrian-friendly<br />
is debatable. I am all for making<br />
Sumner attractive.<br />

Wine<br />
Pleasures from off the beaten track<br />
• By Mark Henderson<br />
RECENTLY, I was reading Wines<br />
of the French Alps, which focuses<br />
on some very much lesser-known<br />
regions and grape varieties.<br />
The author commented on the<br />
growing number of people actively<br />
seeking these little-known,<br />
uncommon and esoteric wines,<br />
which were little known even<br />
within France 20 years ago, but<br />
are now being exported to hipster<br />
restaurants and wine bars in London,<br />
New York, Hong Kong and<br />
around the world.<br />
Today’s selection isn’t quite that<br />
“out there’’, but is a reminder of<br />
the pleasures to be found when<br />
you venture off the beaten path.<br />
2017 Riverby Marlborough<br />
Gruner Veltliner<br />
Price: $22<br />
Rating: Very good to excellent<br />
Floral and expressive with<br />
peach, citrus and tangy grassiness,<br />
stonefruits with aeration.<br />
Fatness on entry, almost a soapy<br />
softness, but the acid floods in<br />
to snap it back into line. Lime,<br />
cut grass and some exotic fruit<br />
flavours on a luscious, rich midpalate<br />
before a little chalkiness on<br />
the close.<br />
Bright, fresh and fun with different<br />
flavours to explore.<br />
www.riverbyestate.com<br />
2018 Hunter’s Marlborough<br />
Gruner Veltliner<br />
Price: $24.90<br />
Rating: Excellent<br />
The nose gives an impression of<br />
fatness and richness, along with<br />
a little funk, matchstick, pepper,<br />
lime and grapefruit. Creamily<br />
textured, filling the mouth,<br />
pepper and spice through the<br />
mid- palate, backed by lime and<br />
cooked lentils. A lifted grapefruit<br />
note brings freshness to the close.<br />
Fascinating, different: Pinot gris<br />
lovers could branch out and find<br />
a friend here.<br />
www.hunters.co.nz<br />
2018 Carrick Bannockburn<br />
Pinot Blanc<br />
Price: $36<br />
Rating: Excellent<br />
Fragrantly spiced nose of cinnamon<br />
and vanilla pod, the fruit<br />
backed by a waft of dried herb,<br />
butterscotch and almond with<br />
aeration. There’s a Mackintosh’s<br />
toffee-like note on the palate, enlivened<br />
by citrus before air allows<br />
greengage plum to shine. Nicely<br />
textural, crisp acidity gives freshness,<br />
the finish is long and nutty.<br />
Threatens to tighten up, then<br />
blossoms and opens up.<br />
www.carrick.co.nz<br />
2018 Tohu Whenua<br />
Awa Upper Awatere<br />
Marlborough Pinot Blanc<br />
Price: $34.99<br />
Rating: Excellent<br />
A creamy, lactic note meets<br />
with cashews, grilled nuts and<br />
caramel, with a little citrus in the<br />
wings. These notes carry on to<br />
the palate as sweet, tropical fruit<br />
notes build, while a core of acidity<br />
keeps this vibrant as a little chewy<br />
fruit pith gives texture.<br />
Threatens to soften but spiced<br />
nuts and zestiness hanging on the<br />
long finish hold it together.<br />
www.tohuwines.co.nz<br />
2018 Main Divide North<br />
Cantebury Gewurztraminer<br />
Price: $20.99<br />
Rating: Excellent<br />
While fragrant and floral with<br />
its rose petal and lychee, this gives<br />
a drier impression. Lovely texture<br />
on entry, sweetly fruited, continuing<br />
the lychee theme on a rich<br />
and slightly dry palate. Excellent<br />
varietal expression, good depth of<br />
flavour and freshness too. With<br />
aeration the nose swells and the<br />
wine grows nicely in depth.<br />
A lovely rendition for Gewurz<br />
fans.<br />

Tasty Bites<br />
Exotic food with the least hassle<br />
If you are going to cook<br />
for a large dinner party,<br />
organisation and preparation<br />
are key, starting with<br />
working out a menu well<br />
ahead of the event. Try<br />
including this tasty Asianinfluenced<br />
starter to your<br />
list<br />
Tamarind chilli crispy-skin<br />
salmon with green mango<br />
herb salad<br />
Serves 4<br />
Ingredients<br />
600g salmon fillets, cut into 4cm<br />
cubes, patted dry with paper<br />
towels<br />
Sea salt<br />
Fresh cracked black pepper<br />
Crispy shallots<br />
Oil<br />
Tamarind chilli dressing<br />
5-10g large dried red chillies<br />
2 cloves garlic, peeled, minced in<br />
a mortar and pestle with a pinch<br />
of salt<br />
5g belacan (shrimp paste)<br />
65g gula melaka, shaved<br />
25g tamarind pulp, soaked in<br />
150ml<br />
hot water, rendered and sieved<br />
1½ Tbsp lemon juice<br />
2 large kaffir lime leaves, finely<br />
julienned<br />
Green mango herb salad<br />
½ telegraph cucumber or one<br />
lebanese cucumber, unpeeled,<br />
shaved into ribbons<br />
1 green mango, peeled, shaved<br />
into ribbons<br />
1 small bunch coriander leaves<br />
1 small bunch Thai basil leaves<br />
2 wing beans, finely sliced<br />
Squeeze of lemon juice<br />
Pinch of sugar<br />
Olive oil<br />
Directions<br />
Season the fish with salt and<br />
pepper and a drizzle of oil.<br />
Place the soaked dried chillies<br />
and garlic in a food processor<br />
and blend until a fine paste.<br />
Heat two tablespoons of oil in<br />
a small saucepan over medium<br />
heat, add the shrimp paste and<br />
mash with a wooden spatula.<br />
Cook for 1min until the shrimp<br />
paste becomes fragrant and<br />
starts to toast.<br />
Add the chilli garlic paste<br />
and continue to cook, stirring<br />
frequently, until fragrant.<br />
Add the gula melaka and cook<br />
until dark, glossy and sticky.<br />
Slowly pour in the tamarind<br />
puree. Cook until slightly<br />
thickened, then stir in the lemon<br />
juice and sprinkle on the kaffir<br />
lime leaves. Remove from heat<br />
and set aside.<br />
Heat a non-stick fry pan over<br />
high heat. Place the fish pieces<br />
skin side down evenly around<br />
the pan and cook until crisp and<br />
golden.<br />
To ensure that the skin is<br />
evenly crispy, you may need to<br />
gently press with a spatula to<br />
keep the skin flat on the pan.<br />
Turn over, and cook the other<br />
side until three-quarter cooked.<br />
Pour over the tamarind chilli<br />
sauce and toss very gently to just<br />
coat. Be careful not to break up<br />
the fish pieces.<br />
Combine the salad ingredients,<br />
and dress with lemon juice,<br />
sugar and olive oil just before<br />
serving.<br />
Transfer the fish to a serving<br />
plate along with all the sauce<br />
and top with the green mango,<br />
cucumber and herb salad.<br />
Sprinkle with crispy shallots and<br />
serve immediately.<br />
Note: Adjust the quantity<br />
of the large, red dried chillies<br />
according to your taste. Also,<br />
leave the seeds in if you like<br />
the dish extra spicy, otherwise,<br />
deseed them.<br />
In any case, soak the chillies in<br />
hot water until softened before<br />
using them.<br />

To be a horse, or not<br />
to be a horse, that’s<br />
the equestrian!<br />
That line doesn’t really have anything to do with real estate<br />
but it just appealed to my sense of humour. Let’s face it,<br />
you’ve got to have a bit of a laugh sometimes otherwise<br />
work and life can get way too serious. Selling property<br />
is serious business. In most cases we are dealing with<br />
people’s number one asset let alone the emotion and<br />
angst that can accompany the process around buying or<br />
selling. For many it can be a relatively straightforward<br />
transaction, however for others it’s a complete emotional<br />
rollercoaster. One minute you’re up, the next minute it all<br />
comes crashing down again. And as much as our customers<br />
are affected by it, so too are our sales team. Make no<br />
mistake, we feel it too! The responsibility placed on us to<br />
achieve the best result for all parties can feel overwhelming<br />
at times but there is always a sense of satisfaction to see<br />
a great result come from a<br />
well run marketing campaign,<br />
a considered and respectful<br />
negotiation process and a positive sale and purchase<br />
experience. And that’s what we strive to do at Ray White<br />
Ferrymead. We want to be proud of every transaction,<br />
to provide a 10/10 service where everyone we are in<br />
contact with are willing to not only use our company again<br />
but to refer us to friends or family. And if we can all have<br />
a bit of fun along the way, then that’s even better! So,<br />
given that we’ve just had Fathers Day it seems completely<br />
appropriate to let you know that last week my wife asked<br />
me to stop acting like a flamingo. So I had to put my foot<br />
down!<br />

Mercedes-Benz puts boot into A-Class<br />
Motoring<br />
Ross Kiddie<br />
I HAVE A certain amount of<br />
affection for the Mercedes-Benz<br />
A-Class.<br />
When that model first appeared<br />
in 1998 it was the first car from<br />
that company I had a chance to<br />
evaluate.<br />
It also stood out for<br />
controversy, Scandinavian<br />
drivers were very sceptical of<br />
the A-Class, it was claimed it<br />
didn’t pass the local elk test – an<br />
evasive manoeuvre procedure.<br />
However, as you would expect<br />
from Mercedes-Benz, evolving<br />
safety systems have long put that<br />
rationale to the bin.<br />
The A-Class has been a solid<br />
seller in the small hatchback<br />
market, and I’ve come to really<br />
like the entry-level vehicle into<br />
this luxury car brand. It must also<br />
be said that I’m even more excited<br />
about the range for it now includes<br />
a sedan and, what’s more,<br />
it’s a beauty in terms of practicality<br />
and driveability.<br />
Sure, the basic fundamentals of<br />
the A-Class haven’t been interfered<br />
with, however, it is a little<br />
longer at 4549mm compared for<br />
4419mm for the hatchback, but<br />
that is marginal, and for the extra<br />
versatility I’d certainly throw my<br />
hat in the ring for one.<br />
MERCEDES-BENZ A200: Available in hatchback or sedan.<br />
It also looks special, I’ve made<br />
no secret of my desire for the<br />
traditional, and the A-Class sedan<br />
looks sporty and almost sits apart<br />
from the hatchback it is based on.<br />
The fundamental mechanicals are<br />
also still the same, the engine sits<br />
transversely under the bonnet and<br />
drive is sent to the front wheels.<br />
The A-Class sedan lands here<br />
with two turbocharged engine<br />
options – A180 and A200. Effectively,<br />
it’s the same four-cylinder<br />
engine other than varying power<br />
outputs; the A180 gets 100kW<br />
and 200Nm, the A200 gets higher<br />
turbo boost, lifting the ratings to<br />
120kW and 250Nm.<br />
Interestingly, the engine is just<br />
1.3-litre, but if you are thinking<br />
it’s a little underwhelming then<br />
you had better think again.<br />
I’ve recently evaluated the B180<br />
which shares the 100kW engine<br />
and it punches well above its<br />
weight in terms of performance.<br />
Forcing an extra 20kW and<br />
50Nm through the system, the<br />
A200 feels feisty and lively, the<br />
engine is one of the sweetest you’d<br />
ever get a chance to experience,<br />
and it delights in meeting throttle<br />
request.<br />
Power is directed through a<br />
seven-speed dual-clutch transmission<br />
– effectively you treat it<br />
as an automatic, there is no clutch<br />
pedal. The gearbox is characterised<br />
by quick shifts and ratios<br />
which extract the power well and<br />
provide the economy an A-Class<br />
buyer would be searching for.<br />
Mercedes-Benz claims a 5.7-litre<br />
per 100km (49mpg) combined<br />
cycle average for the 1332cc unit.<br />
During my time in the evaluation<br />
car the fuel usage readout<br />
was constantly listing around<br />
7l/100km (41mpg), while a<br />
4.5l/100km (63mpg) figure is on<br />
offer instantaneously at 100km/h,<br />
the engine turning over at just<br />
1800rpm.<br />
On the subject of figures, the<br />
A-Class sedan claims an 8.1sec<br />
standstill to 100km/h time,<br />
while it will also complete an<br />
overtaking manoeuvre (80km/h-<br />
120km/h) in 5sec.<br />
All of these figures stack up to<br />
provide wallet-friendly motoring<br />
along with satisfactory performance.<br />
What’s more, the A-Class<br />
is a darn nice thing to drive, it is<br />
quiet, comfortable, and provides<br />
a feel that initiates confidence and<br />
security within the car.<br />
When presented with a few<br />
tight corners, the A-Class steers<br />
with precision. Grip in the first<br />
instance is provided by Hungarian-moulded<br />
Hankook tyres<br />
which measure 225/45 x 18in,<br />
even though their profile is a little<br />
low, ride comfort isn’t jeopardised,<br />
the fully independent<br />
suspension is all class, ruts and<br />
bumps are willingly absorbed,<br />
while the firming is such that<br />
body balance stays controlled.<br />
At just over 1.4m tall the A-<br />
Class sedan doesn’t move much<br />
over the suspension and because<br />
there’s not a lot of weight in the<br />
car (1350kg), gravitational force<br />
doesn’t work against balance.<br />
The A-Class sedan is what I<br />
• Price – Mercedes-Benz<br />
A200 sedan, $62,900<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4549mm; width, 1796mm;<br />
height, 1440mm<br />
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />
front-wheel-drive,<br />
1332cc, 120kW, 250Nm,<br />
seven-speed automatic.<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 8.1sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 5.7l/100km<br />
would call realistically priced.<br />
At $62,900 in standard form it<br />
comes complete with much of<br />
the kit that I’d be comfortable<br />
with. There’s a huge option list<br />
and buyers will no doubt explore<br />
that willingly. The evaluation car<br />
had a few extras added in such as<br />
driving assistant and seat comfort<br />
packages, which added just over<br />
$3k to the list price.<br />
There’s no doubt that Mercedes-<br />
Benz will have to market the<br />
A-Class sedan well. Sedans aren’t<br />
selling in large numbers any more<br />
and those that are in the market<br />
are all quality and compete on<br />
largely equal terms. The A-Class<br />
sits $14k above what you’d pay for<br />
say a Mazda3 Limited, that being<br />
the case, it needs to be good, and<br />
I can safely say that it is.<br />
If you also look at the bigger<br />
picture and are thinking of<br />
buying into one of the world’s<br />
greatest luxury/sporty brands,<br />
you can do that for a smidgeon<br />
over $60k, that in itself has much<br />
appeal.<br />
advertorial<br />
City Auto Services<br />
in the heart of the CBD<br />
Second generation mechanic Paul Welbeloved, director of<br />
City Auto Services started learning about cars as a youngster<br />
alongside his father. He has always worked in the Automotive<br />
industry and has a real passion for cars.<br />
City Auto services is centrally located on Walker Street<br />
and has customers raving about their educational attitude.<br />
“Paul made it so simple for me to understand with his layman<br />
explanations about what happened to my car. He even had<br />
props to show me how they all work together and what role they<br />
play and why my car was having the problem it was having. It<br />
was easy to understand and was very helpful,” said satisfied<br />
customer Bridgette.<br />
“Making sure my customers understand what has been<br />
repaired on their car, why<br />
it happened and how we<br />
have fixed it while getting<br />
value for money makes it all<br />
worthwhile.” Paul shared with<br />
a smile.<br />
Paul bought the business<br />
with his wife Rachel about<br />
two and a half years ago<br />
and since then it has been<br />
a labour of love to build the<br />
business up alongside the<br />
redevelopment of the central<br />
city.<br />
