Not enough
say on plan
to manage
cruise ship
passengers
– residents
• By Jess Gibson
NEW MEASURES have been put
in place to help manage the impact
cruise ship visitors are having on
Akaroa.
But Akaroa Ratepayers and
Residents Association chairman
Harry Stronach says he is
“disappointed” the community
was not consulted more before
action was taken.
With 90 cruise ship visits due
in Akaroa this summer, the city
council is working to ensure
measures are in place to manage
the influx of passengers, as well as
other tourists and visitors.
Tighter controls on tourist bus
parking, more toilet facilities and
“smart” public rubbish bins will all
be in place for the upcoming cruise
ship season.
City council citizens and
community principal adviser
Brent Smith said there has been
a collaborative approach to
supporting the busy cruise ship
season in Akaroa.

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
from the reporter’s desk
IT’S GREAT to see something is finally being done to ease the
impacts of cruise ships in Akaroa (see page 1).
Ninety vessels will enter the harbour this season, and the city
council has new measures in place to minimise congestion from
an influx of tourists and visitors.
Residents have been pushing for action since it first became a
problem eight years ago.
However, it seems the community has been forgotten about
in the city council’s “collaborative” approach to managing
congestion.
City council citizens and community principal adviser
Brent Smith says the city council is working with cruise lines,
transport operators, businesses and other organisations to
improve the experience for residents and visitors.
Interesting move since residents have complained in the past
about businesses being given priority over the community.

Multi-year funding for conservation trust
SINCE 2001, the Banks
Peninsula Conservation Trust
has worked to preserve and
enhance the area’s indigenous
flora and fauna.
And now, it will continue to do
so comfortably, with $120,000 of
funding from
Rata Foundation.
The trust recently
received
approval for
multi-year
funding from
Leighton
Evans
the foundation
under the newly-launched
Sustain priority area.
At the heart of the trust are the
people of Banks Peninsula, and
because of this, it receives plenty
of support from the community.
Said volunteer manager Sophie
Hartnell: “A healthy, natural
environment provides a solid
foundation for everything that is
of value to people – food, water,
shelter and health.”
“We want to inspire people
to be passionate about the
environment around them, to
understand it and take action
to protect and restore it. All of
our programmes are designed
to enable community members
to actively sustain the natural
environment across the Banks
Peninsula.”

BIODIVERSITY: The Banks Peninsula Conservation Trust has
received approval a $120,000 grant from Rate Foundation
under its newly-launched Sustain priority area.
Rata Foundation chief executive
Leighton Evans said the trust
does an amazing job of getting
the community involved in its
projects.
“The trust has created some
strong connections within the
Banks Peninsula community,
bringing people together to preserve
and sustain the biodiversity
in the area,” he said.
Collaboration is one of the
most important aspects of the
trust’s overall vision, working
with private landowners and
organisations including the
Department of Conservation,
Environment Canterbury,
Christchurch City Council, the
HIKING BOOTS
& SHOES

and children
From
$79.95
to $250
Lyttelton Port Company and local
schools.
“We wouldn’t be where we are
without the support of these, and
other key supporting organisations
– collaboration is an essential
part of how we operate.”
The trust is community-driven
and facilitates the protection
of biodiversity on private land
through covenants.
“Covenants allow us to work
with private landowners to
legally protect their land and
important ecological values in
perpetuity. The whole community
benefits from this commitment
to protecting biodiversity
for current and future generations.
We support the landowner
through the covenanting process
which includes legal protection,
fencing of the protected area, as
well as ecological survey and the
development of an ecological
management plan. “
The trust has a 30-year ecological
vision which outlines eight
key priorities: old-growth remnants,
rare ecosystems, connections
between land, freshwater
and marine habitats, core areas
of indigenous forest, land and
freshwater management supporting
indigenous biodiversity, indigenous
flora and fauna, species
reintroduction and a pest-free
Banks Peninsula.
Lyttelton’s Port Saddle is one
of the trust’s projects which is
delivered in partnership with
the Lyttelton Port Company and
strongly encourages community
involvement.
The trust has facilitated predator-control,
plantings, workshops
and other educational opportunities
involving members of the
community on this site.
Said Ms Hartnell: “We have
kids coming from the local
school to do their part in protecting
the biodiversity along Port
Saddle.”

Lyttelton parking
feedback sought
• By Jess Gibson
ASSOCIATE Minister Poto
Williams has asked the public
to weigh in on a proposal which
could help the regeneration of
Lyttelton.
It seeks to lift a requirement in
the Christchurch District Plan
that requires business developers
to provide a certain number of
car parking spaces.
The city council submitted the
proposal to Ms Williams, the
Associate Minister for Greater
Christchurch Regeneration, as
the rule was causing issues for
potential developments.
Ms Williams is able to use her
powers under the Greater Christchurch
Regeneration Act to make
amendments to the District Plan.
But before making her decision,
she will consider written feedback
from the public which can be submitted
from now until November
14.
“It is important that anyone
interested in these proposals
makes a written comment,’’ Ms
Williams said.
She said the current requirements
do not take into account
Lyttelton’s unusual geography
and the size and shape of sites.
•The proposal can be viewed
and written comments made

Plan to beat midge problem
MORE THAN 9000 native
shrubs and trees will be planted
beside the Bromley oxidation
ponds over the next few weeks
as part of ongoing efforts to keep
the midge population down.
The trees and shrubs will create
a natural screen
between the oxidation ponds
and nearby homes and help cut
down the light from the residential
area.
Midges, like moths, are naturally
attracted to light.
“We’ve prepared the ground
for planting and over the next
few weeks our contractor, Fulton
Hogan, will be putting in 9330
native trees and shrubs,’’ said
city council three waters and
waste operations manager Adam
Twose.
“As the plants grow up, they
will shield the ponds from the
light from neighbouring homes
and roads which should make
the residential area less attractive
to the midges.’’
The planting work is part of a
multi-pronged approach the city
council is taking to control the
midge population around the
oxidation ponds.
Midges are not harmful but
over the warm summer months,
they are an unwanted nuisance
for nearby residents.

“Unfortunately midges breed
well in the shallow, warm waters
of the oxidation ponds so we
are continually working to find
new ways of keeping the midge
population down,’’ Mr Twose
said.
“Last summer we
mechanically disturbed the floor
of the oxidation ponds by using
a slow-moving boat fitted with
a raft of chains that dragged
behind it. By doing this, we were
able to create a less hospitable
environment for the midges to
breed in.
“As a result we saw a 35
per cent decline in the midge
population around the ponds
and received fewer complaints
about the midges from nearby
residents.
oN sAle Now!
NUISANCE:
Nine
thousand
native
shrubs will
be planted
beside the
Bromley
oxidation
ponds in a
bid to reduce
the midge
population.
“We’ll be using the same approach
again this summer so we
hope to see a further decline in
midge numbers.
“We will also have contractors
working on extending the spur
in Pond 2 so that we can alter
the inflow of treated wastewater,
which should also make the
ponds a less attractive breeding
ground for midges.’’

Spray to be used to
clear Heathcote weed
INVASIVE weeds clogging
the Heathcote River and
taking over its banks will
soon be targeted in a weed
spraying programme.
The programme is due to
start early next month, but
the work is weather and
tide dependant.
The weeds are covering
the riverbanks and will
eventually wipe out native
species. Some are also
restricting flood flows and
increasing the amount of
sediment in the river.
“The weeds are starting
to impact on the river’s
ecosystem and capacity so
they need to be removed,’’
said city council land
drainage manager Keith
Davison.
“We have bank stabilisation
and planting work
happening along the
Heathcote River as part of
our flood mitigation programme
in the area and we
need to get rid of the weeds
before we progress this
work any further,” he said.
The chemical herbicide
glyphosate will be used to
target the weeds.

of glyphosate and in our
parks and reserves we are
using organic fatty acid
alternatives to combat
weeds.
“Unfortunately, the
organic fatty acid alternatives
that are available are
not safe to use around
waterways because of their
toxicity to aquatic invertebrates.
“We can’t physically remove
all the weeds in and
along the Heathcote River
so our best option is to use
glyphosate, which becomes
inactive in soil and sediment,
so safe to use around
water,’’ Mr Davison said.
Mr Davison said the
contractors will follow
strict protocols when
spraying with glyphosate
to minimise the impact on
the surrounding environment
and to avoid the
risk to people travelling
through the area.
“The areas that have
been sprayed will be
clearly marked with
warning tape and signage
to keep people and their
dogs out until the spray has
dried,” he said.

Work soon on Ferrymead cycleway
CONSTRUCTION WILL soon
begin on the last stretch of a
cycleway connecting Ferrymead
with other suburbs.
Already linking the central
city with The Tannery in
Woolston, the Heathcote Expressway
will soon continue out
to Heathcote.
Once complete, it will provide
a key commuter route as well as
easy access by bike to Ferrymead
Heritage Park.
Work is also due to commence
on two other sections
of Christchurch’s cycleway
network.
The South Express cycleway,
which was consulted on last year,
will run from the CBD through
Riccarton, Sockburn and
Hornby, to reach Templeton.
The third cycleway soon to be
on the map is the Nor’West Arc,
which will connect nine schools
as it runs across the west of the
city.
“These new routes are not
only for the benefit of people
on bikes,” said city council’s
planning and delivery transport
manager Lynette Ellis.
“Motorists and pedestrians
will also enjoy improved safety
and lighting at intersections,
plus we’ll be repairing damaged
infrastructure as we go.”
As more of the cycleways link
together, it becomes easier for
people for give cycling a go, Ms
Ellis said.
“People who are new to biking
feel comfortable using the new
cycleway and current riders are
more likely to make different
trips, like cycling with a child to
school.”
The co-owner of Action Bicycle
Club, Ken Ching, is finding
the cycleways are not just providing
a safe and pleasant pathway
to different parts of the city.
“The infrastructure is more
than just about transport,” he
said.
“It’s improving our public
space and social cohesion. It’s
helping create a liveable city.”
Said Alice Terrien, of Bellbird
Bakery: “The cycleways are great;
direct and safe. Biking is the fastest,
easiest, most hassle-free way
for me to get to work.”
Her bakery uses a cargo-bike
to make deliveries and run errands
around the central city.
“We didn’t want to purchase a
second delivery van. Compared
to a car, the cargo-bike is more
convenient to use, is often faster,
and it’s fun.”
Ms Terrien believes the cycleway
network makes the city
more appealing to locals and
visitors alike.
“I can’t see why Christchurch
couldn’t become the Amsterdam

of the south,” she said.
As the infrastructure for
Christchurch’s bicycles continues
to develop, so too does the city’s
biking culture.
Biketober, the annual, monthlong
festival of the cycle, is on
now and offers a diverse programme
of events, from guided
rides to workshops, competitions
to seminars, for all ages. The
full programme can be found at

Skate park
construction
under way
• By Jess Gibson
WORK IS under way to have
a new dirt bike pump track
and skate bowl installed in
Governors Bay Reserve.
Part of the reserve will be
fenced off during construction,
which is expected to take about
two months.
The city council originally
had plans to build a pump
track, skate bowl, half pipe and
treehouse in 2017 but had to
ask the community to prioritise
after it ran out of money to fund
everything.
After the second round
of consultation, which
attracted 62 submissions, the
pump track and skate bowl
came out on top and could be
built within the city council’s
$170,000 budget.
Prior to the consultation, the
community had wanted a skate
park for several years.
Some of the money has also
been put towards the renewal of
the junior playground space and
landscape work around the new
community hall and pool, which
is complete.

Said Mr Smith: “We’re
working with the cruise
lines, transport operators,
businesses and other
organisations, such as
NZ police to improve the
experience for locals and
visitors in Akaroa during
the cruise ship days.
“We’ve introduced

high visitor numbers, and
believe these multiple
improvements will benefit
everyone.”
But Mr Stronach said
while he is “delighted” to
see the city council take
action, he wanted more

“The city

“The city council has
demonstrated that they are

He said the success of
the measures “can only be
judged by the results seen
on the streets of Akaroa in

new “smart” rubbish bins,
which will be in place by
mid-November. A new
public toilet block at Place
de la Poste – behind the
Akaroa Service Centre on
Rue Jolie – will replace the
old toilets. It will contain
eight toilets.
Six solar-powered
Bigbelly rubbish bins will
also be operating at key
spots around Akaroa.
A built-in compactor
means the bins can swallow
up to five times more
rubbish than a standard

The bins utilise smart

Readers respond to last week’s article about rock piles left on
Clifton Beach near Shag Rock following the construction of the
Coastal Pathway
Bruce Whitfield
– Dr Pat McIntosh and
her discovery of sizeable
rocks that have come to
notice around Shag Rock
following the new Coastal
Pathway build in the area
is interesting for all the
wrong reasons.
The reported statement
by city council delivery
manager Lynette Ellis
about not being able to
supply the Fulton Hogan
contract for viewing
because it contains
“commercially sensitive
information” is just a load
of nonsense.
It’s so disappointing,
especially given we have
just finished another
election round, that again
we see clear evidence of
the city council, through
its employees, deliberately
choosing to be secretive,
and being sparse with
the facts when asked for
some information. For
goodness sake, if the city
council don’t want anyone
to know what Fulton
Hogan got financially out
of the contract or how
the contract work maybe
was structured for them,
they can easily redact the
contract document as
much as they like, but still
supply the information
that Dr McIntosh wants
– for example, what size
filtering was applied and
how the process was
carried out.
It might be that
the issue has to be
regarded as unavoidable
“collateral damage” to the
environment, given the
sizeable pathway project.
The use of large quantities
of filter cloth was evident
during the construction
work, so one would have
thought that this material
could have been used to
prevent the leakage of
the stone rubble that Dr
McIntosh has discovered.
All that said, our city
council still needs to
seriously practice its skills
at being open and honest
with its ratepayers, and
more importantly be
seen to be, especially as
we all pour in more and
more money into the rates
bucket.
Alan Truscott – The
debris will always be
there unless it is removed,
as the larger
particles will always wash
to the surface and not disappear
into the sand. The
sieve they used was way
too big. I actually watched
them doing it and there
is no way they were ever
going to return the beach
to what it was using the
equipment they had.

Call for strategies to
get people voting
Port Hills MP
Ruth Dyson
writes about
election
results and the
city council’s
proposal to
ease parking
requirements for developers
in Lyttelton
MY WARMEST congratulations
to our newly-elected community
board, councillors, ECan councillors
and District Health Board
members.
We look to have a fine mix of
new faces and experience. My
commiserations to those who stood
but were unsuccessful this time. It
takes a lot of courage, energy and
passion to put your hand up for
these positions and I am confident
that everyone who put their names
forward did so with a commitment
to their community and our wellbeing
at heart.
A lot of people didn’t vote at the
election and this is a worrying
situation. I think that a big part of
this (alongside the postal voting
system) is the fact that many have
no idea what a community board
does – or what a city councillor
does, let alone what the district
health board does.
This lack of knowledge doesn’t
seem to be a huge barrier to overcome.
So I would like to challenge our
elected representatives to put their
collective thinking caps on and
develop some strategies to educate
people locally – and let’s see if we
can have the highest voter turnout
next time.
One of the city council’s recent
proposals is to amend the District
Plan to remove the minimum
on-site parking rule for developments
in the commercial zone in
Lyttelton.
Currently, all development has
to comply with the minimum
and maximum car parks required
under the plan. The amount of
on-site parking required currently
is unnecessary and in many cases,
impossible. If this rule changes,
it would return to the situation
pre-earthquake, where most commercial
sites did not provide, or
provided very little, on-site parking.
This rule is a challenge for developers
and a number of sites are
still vacant with developers slow to
invest.
Minister Poto Williams is
consulting on this right now –
feedback closes on November 14 –
and can be accessed on dpmc.govt.
nz/lyttelton-parking. If you have a
view – share it now.
Overconfidence and scraped nose
CONFIDENCE IS a wonderful
thing.
Vittoria’s certainly getting that
in spades and it’s impacting our
walks.
For example, when she and
I took Mum’s dogs for a beach
walk on Saturday, she was happy
to walk one of the dogs both
there and back by herself without
complaint.
Good right?
However, that same level
of I’m-a-professional-walker
confidence led to some serious
grumpiness and a decent scrape
on her nose on Sunday.
We all spent that night in
Akaroa and we’d managed to
arrive before it stated raining, so
we took the chance to wander
the Francophile waterfront before
it got all grey and wet.
Walking up to the lighthouse
was perfection. Vittoria sat
calmly in her pram, made
excited noises at passing dogs
and seemingly enjoyed the view.
By the time we arrived, her
composure was slipping and she
was practically jumping out in
desperation to walk on her own
feet.
As soon as I got her out
though, she turned and sped off
too fast. She barely got two feet
before tripping over her own
boots and faceplanting into the
concrete. A scaring me kind of
faceplant.
Although her poor wee nose
SKILLED: Vittoria confidently
jumping on a trampoline,
repleat with scraped nose.
got all scraped up and bloody,
I’m glad that was the worst of it.
In spite of that, she was more
than happy to sprint about
concreted areas and then run
downhill and give me more
heart attacks.
Trying to hold her hand
was no good, she’d just
growl at me and do her best
washing machine impression
before stamping off as if to
VITTORIA
& Matt
say: “No, I can do it!”.
An ultimatum was just met
with more running away, so I
just had to wrestle her back into
the pram. Literally.
Let’s see if a scab on her nose
will chill the over confidence. I
doubt it.
So, quick update on the cot
and potty training efforts before
we go.
The potty is still terrifying, so
no real movement there (ha, see
what I did there?)
On the other hand, the cot
training is going great guns.
I’m getting a whole night sleep
without tiny limbs in my eye
socket or ribs.
On Tuesday morning Vittoria
jumped out of bed, wandered
over to me and Laura’s bed, and
jumped up for a cuddle before
getting up. It’s cute when I’m
already awake and it’s not 3am.
To be 100 per cent honest, I
kind of miss the co-sleeping.

NEW RELEASES
Vegful
by Nadia Lim
With vegetarianism and veganism on the rise, New Zealanders are
not only becoming more aware of the benefits of following a plantbased
diet, but also of the negative impact farming animals can
have on the environment. Celebrity cook, nutritionist and co-founder
of My Food Bag, Nadia Lim, says she has wanted to put out a
cookbook dedicated entirely to vegetables for a while, but has been
waiting “for the right time”. That time is now.
Nadia has just released Vegful, a book she describes as “a
vegetable cookbook” rather than a vegetarian cookbook.
It provides inspiration for those of us who know we can do better
with vegetables - we just need a little guidance!
Elton John
The definitive portrait, with unseen images
by Terry O’Neill
“Looking at Terry’s photographs is like gazing through a window at the
most extraordinary and exciting moments of my life. I’m so glad he was
with us throughout the madness: in his evocative and stylish photos he
captured those moments as no other photographer could.” - Elton John
Elton John and iconic photographer Terry O’Neill worked together for
many years, taking in excess of 5,000 photographs. From intimate
backstage shots to huge stadium concerts, the photographs in this
book represent the very best of this archive, with most of the images
being shown here for the first time.
O’Neill has drawn on his personal relationship with Elton John to write
the book’s introduction and captions.
The Giver of Stars
by JoJo Moyes
Inspired by a remarkable true story, the unforgettable journey of five
extraordinary women living in extraordinary and perilous times.
Alice Wright has travelled halfway across the world to escape her
stifling life in England. Handsome American businessman Bennett
Van Cleve represents a fresh start. But she soon realises that
swapping the twitching curtains of suburbia for newlywed life in
the wild mountains of Kentucky isn’t the answer to her prayers. But
maybe meeting Margery O’Hara is. The heart and backbone of the
small community of Salt Lick, a woman who isn’t afraid of anything
or anyone, Margery is on a mission.
Tall Tales
And Wee Stories by Billy Connolly
‘Coming from Glasgow, it’s weird, I don’t really tell jokes, like Irish jokes and
all that. I tell wee stories. And some of them don’t even have punchlines. But
you’ll get used to it as the night goes on, and on, and on, and on and on...’
In December 2018, after fifty years of belly-laughs, energy and outrage, Billy
Connolly announced his retirement from live stand-up comedy. It had been
an extraordinary career
Tall Tales and Wee Stories brings together the very best of Billy’s storytelling
for the first time and includes his most famous routines including, The Last
Supper, Jojoba Shampoo, Incontinence Pants and Shouting at Wildebeest.
With an introduction and original illustrations by Billy throughout, it is an
inspirational, energetic and riotously funny read, and a fitting celebration of
our greatest ever comedian.

Plan to upgrade playgrounds
• By Jess Gibson
TWO PLAYGROUNDS in the
Bay Harbour area are set to get
a refresh.
The city council is seeking
feedback on proposals for the
Radley playground in Woolston
and King Park playground in Mt
Pleasant until November 6.
Both playgrounds are reaching
the end of their life span and
will receive new equipment for a
range of ages and abilities.
Radley playground was built at
Radley Park on Woolston Cres in
the mid-1980s.
Before that, the area was
part of Troutdale Farm, where
Andrew Mensal Johnson bred
the first brown trout in New
Zealand.
The farm was a popular picnic
area until it closed in the early
1930s and a number of the
original trees remain in the park
today.
There is a plaque along the
• By Jess Gibson
PRIZE-WINNING “Kelliher”
paintings will be showcased in
Akaroa.
Sir Henry Kelliher was a longstanding
patron of the arts and
set up the Kelliher Art Award
in 1956.
The objective of the
competition, which lasted until
1977, was to encourage realistic
portrayals of New Zealand
landscapes and the way of life
of its people for the entire world
to see.
The Kelliher Art Exhibition
will be held at the Powerhouse
Gallery from Saturday to
November 24.
The paintings to be displayed
in Akaroa are either Kelliher
competition prize-winners
or paintings acquired by the
Kelliher Art Trust.
It will be the second time
in 63 years a selection of the
paintings have been shown in
banks of the Heathcote River
which commemorates Mr
Johnson.
The city council has proposed
new equipment which would be
suitable for both the park setting
and the community, including
swings, a slide, a carousel, a seesaw
and a fish-rocker.
King Park playground,
which is off Quarry Rd and
Rangatira Tce, dates back to the
1930s.
The proposed new equipment
includes swings, a slide, a “space
shuttle” with rope climbing, and
a choice between a dinosaur
rocker or a kiwi rocker.
Once the consultation
period has closed for both
playgrounds, the project
team will analyse feedback
and produce a report with
a recommendation to the
Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board.
A decision from the board
is expected sometime in April
the South Island.
Peter McIntyre, Cedric
Savage, David Barker, Austen
Deans, Colin Wheeler, Robert
McDowell and Richard
McWhannell are among the
artists to be exhibited are.
and if the plans are approved,
construction of the playgrounds
is likely to start in May or June.

Feedback sought on
improvement plan
for busy Akaroa road
• By Jess Gibson
A CROSSING build-out has
been proposed for a busy road in
Akaroa.
The city council has asked for
feedback on the planned changes
to Beach Rd next to Stanley Park.
The proposal includes a
crossing point, with a kerb buildout,
to align with the park steps.
The changes will create a safer
crossing point for pedestrians,
make the park entrance more
visible and prevent cars and
buses from parking in front of it.
Consultation opened on
Thursday and will close
on November 6, and a
recommendation will go to the
Banks Peninsula Community
Board.
If the community board
approves the recommendation,
construction is likely to start
halfway through next year.
Meanwhile, work will begin to
replace the old stone steps where
Stanley Park meets Beach Rd at
the end of the month.
Approval was granted to
replace the steps several years
ago.
The steps will be realigned for
better access and provide room
for the possible future instalment
of the bell tower.
Locally-sourced stone will be
incorporated into the design and
a handrail will also be included
on one side of the steps.

Triathlete humble with success
One of the world’s
most gruelling events
took place this month
when more than 2000
athletes competed
in the Ironman World
Championship in
Hawaii. To mark the
occasion sports
reporter Gordon
Findlater caught up
with Sumner resident
and two-time winner
of the event Erin Baker
ARGUABLY THE greatest
triathlete of all time will
be quick to talk down her
accomplishments when you ask
her about them.
In 1987 Erin Baker won
her first Ironman World
Championship and also smashed
the women’s record at the time in
Hawaii. She won the event again
in 1990. Baker is one of only two
triathletes to win all four world
championships – Ironman, long
distance, Olympic distance and
duathlon.
However, the humble Baker
says her success came simply
through hard work and growing
up being “good at running,
good at biking and good at
swimming.”
Good is an understatement –
in 1994 she finished her triathlon
career with a record of 104 wins
from 121 triathlons – including
four Ironman New Zealand
titles, two world duathlon titles,
two wins at Zofingen, four at
Nice and two Olympic distance
world titles.
These days Baker, 58, takes
the same approach to life she
took when she was competing
and makes sure she excels at
whatever she is doing. She is the
managing director of Orthomed
– supplying hip replacement
solutions and servicing a number
of district health boards.
Baker lives in Sumner with
husband and fellow triathlete
Scott Molina – who won the 1988
World Ironman Championship.
After retiring from triathlon
Baker also had a stint as a city

came about because people knew
her name and because she was at

“That was the worst part of
my life, therefore I got out of it
. . . I never think anything is a
mistake, but that is the thing I
wouldn’t chose to do again if I
had to start over,” said Baker.
Baker was seen by many as
a controversial figure while
competing. She was outspoken
about equal pay for men and
women in triathlon and is one
of the key reasons the sport
has done so for more than two
decades.
However, she’s not sure the

media only wants to follow men
and like to look at men. It’s a

in 1981, which meant Baker
couldn’t apply for a US visa for
five years.
“It’s no different than what
people are doing now with
climate change . . . it was an
injustice, it’s wrong. Someone
has to do something about it, so
you go and do something about
it,” she said.
“It’s got a different set of
issues to it, but it’s only through
protest action that you change
things and certainly I don’t
know that any person in their
right mind if they were looking
at it clearly would think that
a group of people by virtue of
their colour would be considered
legally inferior, which is what
they were at the time . . . I
wouldn’t change anything about
that. It was a good thing to have
done.”
In the coming years Baker
hopes to be able to spend less
time working in the business
herself and cast an eye towards
retirement. While still unsure
exactly what her next venture
will look like, she has a fairly
good idea what lines it is likely to
follow.
“I’ve always like supporting
women, it’s just a thing, so I
think something will come of
a women’s aspect which I will
do in my retirement,” said
Baker.

National medals for boxers
• By Jacob Page
WOOLSTON BOXING Club
coach Holly Sullivan is on
the hunt for international
opportunities for her twotime
New Zealand champion,
Hamuera Tainui.
The 14-year-old won back-toback
national titles at Hastings in
the junior under-63kg class.
“He’s a bit of a golden boy, he
fought very well and deserved it,”
Sullivan said.
“He’s still young for a junior so
it would be great to get him some
more opportunities, particularly
internationally.
“That’s what I’m doing now,
just see what opportunities may
be out there just so he gets used
to travelling and competing in a
new environment.”
Sullivan said while trips to
Australia for junior camps
were always beneficial, she said
competitions further away like
Ireland were in her sights.
“It’s important to try to keep
these guys in the sport and show
others coming through what is
possible.
Hamuera’s gold medal was a
highlight, but the Woolston team
also managed three silver medals
and a bronze.
Trevor Swainson was second in
the under-81kg elite class but received
the best runner-up award
at the tournament.
“I thought Trev fought really
well, he had three fights and
earned that silver medal,” Sullivan
said.
WINNER: Woolston boxer Hamuera Tainui won his second
national title at Hastings.
PHOTO: HOLLY SULLIVAN
Byron Antal also won silver in
the junior 80kg plus category,
“I think nerves got the better
of Byron but he has the skills he
just needs more fights,” she said.
Ryley Sutherland was
runner-up in the under-50kg
cadet class.
“He fought well but didn’t land
the big, flashy blows probably he
needed to win the fight,” Sullivan
said.
Tegan Burdett-Clark earned a
bronze medal in the under-57kg
elite class.
Sullivan said it was a good
return for the club at a pinnacle
event of the year, but the hard
work continues into the new
year.

Wine
Chardonnays to keep an eye out for
• By Mark Henderson
THIS WEEK’S assortment is a
group of 2017 chardonnays.
With Mr McLaren away travelling,
McLaren jun joined my
regular panelist, Mr Collins, and
me to taste through a range from
across the regions.
A grapefruit note came up in
one of the early wines, and once
that character was identified,
I kept finding it in most of the
wines.
The power of suggestion? A
character of the vintage? Or perhaps
my succumbing to cognitive
bias?
More study will be needed.
2017 Mahi Alchemy Single
Vineyard Marlborough
Chardonnay
Price: $39.90
Rating: Excellent
Gunflint, struck match, powerful
peach and melon fruit, citrus
with time. At first, playing in the
sweet and sour spectrum with
grapefruit in focus and biscuity/
oatmeal notes, but this fattens up
nicely, aeration adding a wisp of
buttered popcorn.
All the while, there’s delicious
drive and crispness with a
delightfully long, fresh and tangy
finish.
www.mahiwine.co.nz
2017 Hunters Offshoot
Marlborough Chardonnay
Price: $34.99
Rating: Very good to excellent
Grapefruit, struck match, fresh
baguette, a little toastiness. Powerful
in the mouth, the lemony
citrus notes play off grilled nuts
and toasty elements, with stonefruit
and apple joining in with
aeration. Crisp, salivatory, there’s
a real lip-smacking element to
the acidity.
Tightens a little over time,
but a good swirl helps to coax it
back.
www.hunters.co.nz
2017 Tohu Whenua Awa
Single Vineyard Awatere
Valley Chardonnay
Price: $39.99
Rating: Very good to excellent
Struck match, burnt toast,
warm baguette, grapefruit.
Showing its youthful side, yet
also its richness, texture and
supple acidity. Grilled nuts,
caramel, some fruit pith bittersweet
elements and a petrol-like
note.
This becomes more zesty with
aeration but seems to be holding
its cards close to its chest.
www.tohuwines.co.nz
2017 Craggy Range Les
Beaux Cailloux Gimblett
Gravels Chardonnay
Price: $150
Rating: Excellent
Bonfire smoke, spices, peach
almost a deeper register, developing
perfume and struck
match. This could be perceived
as underpowered but there’s
quiet depth in the mouth. This
grows in texture, picking up
notes of orange peel, spice and
toffee, enlivened as the acidity
becomes more racy.
Elegant and with potential.
www.craggyrange.com
2017 Mahi Marlborough
Chardonnay
Price: $29
Rating: Good to very good
A little wild funkiness, wild
yeast, matchstick and spice lead.
Full and creamy entry with
toasty oak in support and just
when you think it might be a
little soft, the racy acidity floods
in, giving this a mouth-puckering
lift.
Quite linear through the
mouth — as the matchstick subsumes
a little cheesiness grows
— though just a little short on
the finish.
www.mahiwine.co.nz
2017 Pegasus Bay Waipara
Chardonnay
Price: $43
Rating: Very good to excellent
Powerful struck match, wood
smoke and toast notes, adding
lactic hints and white peach. Real
acid drive to this giving brisk
freshness, leading with a bittersweet
citrusy element reminding
me of grilled grapefruit.
Fragrant top notes and a long,
mellow finish.

Food and a View to Die For!
NESTLED on the hillside in Lyttelton is perhaps one of
Canterbury’s best kept secrets - e Lyttelton Club -
also known as the Top Club. But with recent
renovations and a new master chef heading the kitchen,
the word is out!
Situated in the heart of Lyttelton the Top Club boasts
some of the best harbour views in the area - evident the
minute you step foot inside. An open plan bar drops
down to the dining area with oor to ceiling windows
providing a panoramic view. e innovative design and
decor adds to the appeal making it instantly warm and
inviting. What was previously the club restaurant has
been transformed into a snug sports bar with pool table,
TAB and even more amazing harbour views.
e Bistro offers a compact yet diverse range of
meals created by Master Chef Lloyd Millar. With over
40 years experience, Lloyd has a wealth of experience.
Born in Lyttelton and trained in Canterbury, Lloyd’s
career has seen him in many notable kitchens not only
across New Zealand but overseas too, including his
private dining ‘Dinner By Design’ business. Recent years
has seen him based predominately in Banks Peninsula
where he has cooked at local greats including She Cafe
in Governors Bay, the Akaroa Wharf Hotel, award
winning Monster Yakitori Bar in Lyttelton, and the
Fishermans Wharf in Lyttelton.
While Lloyd’s food knowledge is extensive, he is
renowned for his skill in Yakitori and for this reason the
Club has installed a charcoal grill. So on the menu is a
great selection of these delicious Japanese style skewers,
as well as classic Sirloin, Ribeye and Italian style Sausage
mains that are served with fries and garden salad. Other
mains options include twice cooked Pork Belly, a choice
of Burgers, Hoki & Chips, Dory Fillet, and a Potato,
Chickpea Tofu Laska. ere is also a good selection of
starters and desserts, as well as a kiddies menu. Gluten
free, vegan and vegetarian options are also available.
And price wise the menu is extremely affordable.
e Bistro also offers regular specials, such as All You
Can Eat Dumplings every Wednesday and a Sunday
Carvery & Dessert at the end of each month.
If you’re planning an event, the Top Club is well
worth considering. Talk to Lloyd about holding a
function. He can design catering to t any budget.
In the bar there’s live coverage of international rugby
with food and beverage specials accompanying All
Blacks games, Housie at 7pm every Tuesday, and a
lucky members draw every ursday at 5.30pm. And if
you enjoy a utter the Club has a 12 machine gaming
room and the one and only TAB facility in Lyttelton -
something to keep in mind with Melbourne Cup and
NZ Trotting Cup coming up next month.
New members are most welcome. Enquire about
joining today! For a limited time the club is offering $10
memberships.

Ford Focus continues tradition of old
Motoring
Ross Kiddie
WHEN I LOOK back over time
I simply can’t understand why I
let two of my favourite cars go to
new owners, I made some very
bad decisions.
They were both three-door
Escorts, a Mk 1 and Mk 2 Sport.
Today I’m hankering to own
an Escort again, but prices are
astronomical and they don’t often
come up for sale.
The Escort of eras gone by
represented honesty and sporty
performance, depending on the
model. Over the years it morphed
into various shapes and designs,
its concept retained in today’s Focus
– the natural successor to that
incredibly successful nameplate.
The Focus has just been transformed
for 2019, there are four
models for New Zealand, three
hatchbacks and a wagon. The
latter has a 2-litre diesel engine,
but all the others share a threecylinder
petrol driveline. There
are three levels of specification, a
Trend opens the series at $31,990,
ST-Line adds around $5000,
while a Titanium variant lists at
$41,990. This evaluation focuses
on the latter (pardon the pun).
For interest’s sake, the Trend
wagon is listed at $37,990.
The Titanium is plush, it is very
well specced and a value choice. It
is a compact car but it will easily
cater for four, or even five when
necessary. Each occupant gets a
respectable amount of head and
leg room, even in the rear. Load
space is also on a par with what
you would expect from a mid-size
hatchback, but those interested
in more cargo carrying ability
could well be interested in the
entry-level wagon, it would be my
choice in the series.
Under the bonnet sits the
delightful three-cylinder, 1.5-litre
engine. It must be said that threepotters
are different in the way
they sound and react, not that
that is a problem, but there are
harmonics which the occupants
can pick up. I’m a big threecylinder
engine fan, they develop
strong low down torque, and that
FORD FOCUS: Three-cylinder enigne.
is what you want in any engine,
and if you add in turbocharged
boost then the Focus feels feisty
and decisive when asked to perform.
Ford claims a very impressive
134kW (6000rpm) and
240Nm power outputs from the
twin-camshaft unit. The torque
output is delivered low in the rev
band at 1600rpm with a long,
broad stretch to 4500rpm and
that contributes to the feeling of
willingness and urgency. Sure,
a standstill to 100km/h time of
8.9sec isn’t earth-shattering, but
the Focus in this form does have
punch through the mid-range
and that’s what is important, it
will easily make a 5sec 80km/h to
120km/h overtaking manoeuvre.
Drive is channelled through an
eight-speed automatic transmission
and it harnesses the available
power beautifully, the proximity
of ratios means the engine never
goes off song and the correct gear
is always selected for each moment.
The gearing is such that it also
makes economic use of fuel. Ford
claims a 6.1l/100km (46mpg)
combined cycle average. The fuel
usage readout on the evaluation
car was mostly listing around
7.6l/100km (37mpg) with tempting
4.6l/100km (61mpg) available
instantaneously at 100km/h, the
engine turning over leisurely at
1600rpm.
Like its predecessors, the Focus
has quality handling. I’ve long
admired the way European Fords
tackle tight and twisty terrain,
• Price – Ford Focus
Titanium, $41,990
• Dimensions – Length,
4378mm; width, 1823mm;
height, 1454mm
• Configuration – Threecylinder,
front-wheeldrive,
1497cc, 134kW,
240Nm, eight-speed
automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 8.9sec
• Fuel usage – 6.1l/100km
the Focus steers with precision
and accuracy. The Titanium-spec
Focus does sit a little firm on the
road and that has a lot to do with
the low profile tyres (235/40 x
18in), however, the ride isn’t compromised
greatly, there is compliance
within the suspension.
Ford of New Zealand, and the
dealerships, must still be happy
with their position in the marketplace.
Ranger is still the number
one seller nationwide, and the rest
of the Ford line-up is ticking over
consistently.
The Focus is there to tempt
the small-to-mid hatchback
(or wagon) buyer and it is very
capable in all conditions. And
with petrol sitting at around $2.20
a litre, that wee engine is a real
money-saver.
