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 />

In Brief<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 />

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 />

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 />

By Victoria eugenia Henao<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 />

www.fourseasonstreecare.co.nz<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 />

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 />

FrenchFest.<br />

A traditional Maori powhiri<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 />

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 />

programme will commence with<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 />

Owners are being urged to<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 />

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 />

year should be a once<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 />

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 />

•Former <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News<br />

journalist Matt Salmons has<br />

become a stay-at-home<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 />

conveniently located in the<br />

heart of the Christchurch CBD. Drop off your car, and you can<br />
