Backlash<br />

leads to<br />

Show Day<br />

event<br />

floundering<br />

in Lyttelton<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

A PLAN TO hold a Show Day<br />

party on Lyttelton’s main street<br />

appears to have floundered after<br />

a backlash from businesses and<br />

residents.<br />

Multi Events Ltd had planned<br />

to hold the ticketed ‘Long Lunch’<br />

on London St, which would have<br />

seen it cordoned off from 7am to<br />

6pm on November 15 – one of the<br />

busiest trading days of the year.<br />

The event management company<br />

proposed placing a row of<br />

tables along the road from Oxford<br />

to Canterbury Sts, and hospitality<br />

businesses were encouraged to<br />

participate by creating their own<br />

set menu.<br />

However, a city council<br />

spokesman said the traffic<br />

management plan required<br />

to close the street has been<br />

withdrawn by Multi Events Ltd,<br />

and it has not heard from them<br />

since.<br />

The move comes after the city<br />

council received 26 objections to<br />

the planned event from businesses<br />

and residents.<br />

get in touch<br />

from the editor’s desk<br />

I’M NOT surprised there was widespread<br />

opposition to closing London St on Show<br />

Day (see page 1).<br />

An events company wanted to set up a<br />

party of sorts between Canterbury and<br />

Oxford streets, which would see that part<br />

of London St closed.<br />

Called the Long Lunch, hospitality businesses would have<br />

tables with set menus.<br />

Not a bad idea, but there was one big snag.<br />

Lyttelton bars and cafes were unhappy if they took part in the<br />

event with a set menu, they would not be able to sell alcohol.<br />

Parking too was gong to be a big problem for other businesses.<br />

Said SuperValue owner Rob de Their: “It made us really unhappy,<br />

it would have killed business. Even though there are car<br />

parks below us they would have been taken up.”<br />

We’re getting ready for a busy<br />

tourist season in Akaroa<br />

Here’s what we’re doing to support the township and community<br />

through the busy summer tourist and cruise ship season.<br />

Managing traffic flows<br />

to improve safety and efficiency – especially when many people are<br />

on the move.<br />

Trialling changes to our traffic plans for<br />

cruise ship days<br />

such as monitoring bus idling and bus parking, and asking tour operators<br />

to arrive closer to pick-up times to avoid congestion. We’ll make further<br />

changes if needed.<br />

Opening new public toilets at Place de la Poste<br />

and installing new signage at Akaroa Wharf to direct visitors to the<br />

nearest facilities.<br />

Maintaining public spaces and parks<br />

including emptying litter bins in Akaroa and Little River.<br />

Installing six solar-powered Bigbelly rubbish bins<br />

at key spots around Akaroa that take five times more rubbish than<br />

standard bins. They have smart sensors to detect when they need<br />

to be emptied and some also have free public wifi.<br />

Distributing freedom camping information<br />

and we’ll also be out and about monitoring freedom<br />

campers throughout the summer.<br />

Repairing Akaroa Wharf<br />

so it remains open for commercial<br />

and recreational activities. Concept plans<br />

for the new wharf are being developed<br />

and we will be seeking public feedback<br />

on the designs next year.<br />

CROWDED: About 1<strong>30</strong> residents from Sumner and nearby<br />

areas attended the ‘Future Sumner Community Meeting’<br />

last Tuesday to hear speakers from multiple agencies give<br />

presentations on relevant issues. ​<br />

the village centre, evacuation<br />

methods, Richmond Hill<br />

footpath and road upgrades,<br />

public safety and an update on<br />

Linwood College were among<br />

the topics discussed.<br />

All information from the<br />

meeting is being collated and<br />

will be available on the SCRA<br />

Facebook page next week.<br />

Presentations were given by<br />

city councillor Sara Templeton,<br />

and representatives from the<br />

city council, police, Linwood<br />

College, Sumner Volunteer Fire<br />

Brigade, Land Information NZ<br />

and SCRA on issues relevant to<br />

their organisation.<br />

Each presentation incorporated<br />

questions which were sent<br />

in by residents in the lead up to<br />

the meeting.<br />

SCRA co-ordinator Charlie<br />

Hudson said knowing what is of<br />

concern and interest to residents<br />

will enable the association to<br />

“work more effectively on the<br />

communities behalf.”<br />

“[The association] will continue<br />

to be involved with groups<br />

Flex MSE ® is a Patented engineered solution for<br />

vegetated retaining walls and erosion control.<br />

and residents assisting with<br />

advocacy and communication<br />

support where needed,” Mrs<br />

Hudson said.<br />

City councillor Sara Templeton<br />

spoke on the current status<br />

of the Sumner Masterplan, a<br />

vision for the centre’s redevelopment<br />

which was created after the<br />

earthquakes and has the ability<br />

to be refreshed.<br />

Plans to have an alcohol-free<br />

village, especially around<br />

Matuku Takotako: Sumner Centre<br />

and skate ramp, are being investigated<br />

and can be submitted<br />

to SCRA as part of the Master<br />

Plan refresh.<br />

Residents were advised that<br />

the best way to co-ordinate an<br />

emergency response to a tsunami<br />

was at a community level<br />

with the help of the city council<br />

on how to investigate, establish<br />

and communicate local emergency<br />

response advice.<br />

Sumner Volunteer Fire brigade<br />

chief officer Daryl Sayer offered<br />

evacuation advice, which was for<br />

those in cars to proceed as far as<br />

up the hill roads as possible to<br />

avoid congestion and to organise<br />

a plan to stay with friends if<br />

possible.<br />

Senior Sergeant Roy Appley<br />

spoke about how police are<br />

working in communities<br />

across Christchurch, including<br />

Sumner.<br />

He said Sumner has relatively<br />

low numbers of burglaries and<br />

domestic harm compared to the<br />

rest of the city and encouraged<br />

residents to report everything to<br />

police.<br />

In Brief<br />

WATERMAIN RENEWAL<br />

Work on a watermain renewal<br />

on Libeau Lane, Akaroa, will<br />

start on Monday and will<br />

last for seven weeks. The<br />

existing system has reached<br />

the end of its life and requires<br />

replacing. Contractors will be<br />

on-site from 7.<strong>30</strong>am to 5pm<br />

Monday to Friday. There may<br />

be times when vehicle access<br />

to properties is restricted,<br />

however, contractors will<br />

door-knock beforehand so<br />

residents can move vehicles<br />

if necessary. The work may<br />

also result in increased dust,<br />

noise and vibration. For more<br />

The objections raised<br />

concerns over the potential<br />

loss of income for shops, a<br />

lack of access and parking<br />

Association chairwoman<br />

Vicki Tahau-Paton said a<br />

months ago between<br />

businesses and Multi Events<br />

event.<br />

She said business owners<br />

supported the concept but<br />

wanted the ‘Long Lunch’ to<br />

be held on another day.<br />

However, Multi Events<br />

Ltd still went ahead with<br />

its application to hold the<br />

OPPOSED: Lyttelton<br />

business owners and<br />

residents were against a<br />

plan to close off London<br />

St on Show Day.<br />

event on November 15.<br />

Ms Tahau-Paton said the<br />

company did not contact<br />

the businesses which would<br />

have been impacted by<br />

the event and did not tell<br />

them it was still planning<br />

to hold it on November 15.<br />

Instead business owners<br />

and residents learned<br />

about Multi Events Ltd’s<br />

application in a newspaper<br />

notice on <strong>October</strong> 7.<br />

When Ms Tahau-Paton<br />

posted the city council<br />

notice to the Lyttelton<br />

Facebook group, many<br />

business owners and<br />

residents said it was the first<br />

time they had heard the<br />

planned event was still set<br />

to go ahead.<br />

“The idea is great, but at<br />

one of the busiest times of<br />

the year, it’s just unfair,” Ms<br />

Tahau-Paton said.<br />

The notice said people<br />

had until <strong>October</strong> 15 to<br />

email their objections to<br />

the city council, which<br />

were passed onto the event<br />

organiser.<br />

However, the city council<br />

spokesman told <strong>Bay</strong><br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> News it was the<br />

responsibility of the event<br />

applicant to decide whether<br />

to consult with businesses<br />

and people who may be<br />

affected by the event.<br />

Ms Tahau-Paton said she<br />

visited 90 per<br />

cent of the<br />

businesses<br />

in Lyttelton<br />

and all of<br />

them, except<br />

four from the<br />

hospitality<br />

sector, told<br />

being held on November 15.<br />

The businesses in support<br />

were planning to participate<br />

in the event, and one was<br />

not located on London St.<br />

SuperValue owner Rob de<br />

Their said the event would<br />

have been “devastating”<br />

for his business. “It made<br />

us really unhappy, it would<br />

have killed business. Even<br />

though there are car parks<br />

below us, they would have<br />

TRICKY: The Redcliffs Residents’ Association is trying to figure<br />

out the best way to remove rocks which have come to the<br />

surface at Clifton Beach near Shag Rock.<br />

No history of beach rocks<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

A WELL-KNOWN Redcliffs<br />

historian is disputing claims that<br />

piles of small rocks are natural<br />

to the beach near Shag<br />

Rock.<br />

Two weeks ago <strong>Bay</strong><br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> News revealed<br />

debris has come to the<br />

sand’s surface following<br />

the construction of the<br />

Coastal Pathway, which<br />

caused concerns for the<br />

Redcliffs Residents’ Association.<br />

City council delivery transport<br />

manager Lynette Ellis said it will<br />

not be removed as it is “naturally<br />

occurring.”<br />

However, Sumner Redcliffs<br />

Historical Society honorary<br />

secretary Topsy Rule has<br />

checked old photos and records<br />

Topsy Rule<br />

at Matuku Takotako: Sumner<br />

Centre’s museum and stones did<br />

not appear anywhere.<br />

Mrs Rule has lived between<br />

Sumner and Redcliffs for the<br />

past 80 years and has<br />

never seen rocks at the<br />

beach. However, she said<br />

they may have formed<br />

after the original tram<br />

embankment in 1916<br />

before being washed out or<br />

covered by sand.<br />

Meanwhile, RRA<br />

secretary Pat McIntosh said<br />

members are still trying to figure<br />

out the best way to remove the<br />

rocks before the rocks spread<br />

and the task becomes too hard.<br />

THe Redcliffs Residents’<br />

Association is concerned that<br />

the amenity of the sandy beach<br />

has been affected by the debris.<br />

Tram shelter deemed unsafe<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

A HISTORIC quake-damaged<br />

tram shelter in Sumner has<br />

become a safety hazard – but the<br />

city council has no money to fix<br />

it.<br />

Council staff will consult with<br />

the Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />

Community Board and other<br />

interested parties over whether to<br />

remove or repair the 97-year-old<br />

tram shelter.<br />

Depending on the option<br />

chosen, funding will need to be<br />

requested for the work in the<br />

next Long Term Plan.<br />

The structure has continued to<br />

degrade since the earthquakes<br />

and has become unsafe.<br />

Resident Alisdair Hutchison<br />

has concerns over a big rock<br />

which has been sitting on the<br />

cliff near the shelter after it fell<br />

two years ago.<br />

He is also concerned about the<br />

roof, which is in danger of falling<br />

as one of the concrete beams<br />

holding it up is sitting half off its<br />

pillar.<br />

“It’s an absolutely life-threatening<br />

situation,” Mr Hutchison<br />

said.<br />

Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />

Community Board member Darrell<br />

Latham sent a request to the<br />

city council on August 1 asking<br />

for information on when the<br />

tram shelter would be fixed on<br />

REPAIRS<br />

NEEDED:<br />

The historic<br />

Sumner tram<br />

shelter has<br />

deteriorated<br />

since it was<br />

damaged by<br />

earthquakes.<br />

behalf of Mr Hutchison.<br />

A response said the tram shelter<br />

would be assessed and fixed<br />

by August 15.<br />

However, while vegetation has<br />

been cleared away and the fence<br />

was removed for a short period,<br />

Mr Hutchison has not seen any<br />

repairs to the damage.<br />

A city council spokesperson<br />

said the tram shelter has been<br />

fenced off to prevent access,<br />

limiting risk to the public and<br />

residents.<br />

But Mr Hutchison said it<br />

would be better to have the<br />

shelter repaired as the fence was<br />

an “unwelcome reminder of the<br />

earthquakes.”<br />

However, the city council<br />

spokesperson said staff will have<br />

to consider, in consultation with<br />

the Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />

Community Board and other<br />

interested parties, whether to remove<br />

or repair the tram shelter.<br />

Said Dr Latham: “The tram<br />

shelter is a delightful and historical<br />

reminder of a bygone era and<br />

should be retained.”<br />

Meanwhile, the Moncks <strong>Bay</strong><br />

Tram Shelter has still not been<br />

repaired.<br />

City council manager of transport<br />

operations Steffan Thomas<br />

told <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News in April<br />

the 85-year-old structure was<br />

expected to be open before the<br />

end of September.<br />

However, Redcliffs Residents’<br />

Association chairwoman<br />

Christine Toner said it had<br />

not been fixed and was still<br />

surrounded in fencing.<br />

•HAVE YOUR SAY: Would<br />

Young entrepreneurs make<br />

their mark on business world<br />

•From page 1<br />

The group also won the<br />

opportunity to present JELF at<br />

the national finals in Wellington<br />

on December 4.<br />

Finn said the members put<br />

their heads together at the start of<br />

the year in a bid to invent a new<br />

product as part of their business<br />

studies<br />

project.<br />

He said as<br />

they discussed<br />

their ideas,<br />

they wrote<br />

them down<br />

on a sheet of<br />

laminated<br />

Matt Benassi<br />

paper.<br />

However,<br />

it ended up<br />

being the<br />

laminated paper itself which<br />

sparked their product idea.<br />

The awards were held at Ara,<br />

where the finalists pitched their<br />

ideas in front of a panel of judges<br />

and fought for the title.<br />

There were 132 teams entered<br />

in the competition, which was<br />

narrowed down to six finalists.<br />

Along with the top award, JELF<br />

also won the Powell Fenwick YES<br />

Regional Excellence Award for<br />

Sustainability.<br />

Finn said the accolades felt<br />

FRESH IDEAS: Year 13 Cashmere High School students Josh<br />

McKernan, Eddie Hogan, Lukas Hornell and Finn McCabe at the<br />

Young Enterprise Scheme regional finals and awards.<br />

“absolutely amazing.”<br />

“We never expected this at the<br />

start of the year.”<br />

He is moving to Wellington to<br />

study a Bachelor of Commerce at<br />

Victoria University next year but<br />

said he will continue to focus on<br />

getting JELF off the ground with<br />

his teammates.<br />

“At the moment we haven’t<br />

sold anything, but we’ve started<br />

making pre-sales,” he said.<br />

The group is also looking to<br />

create other products such as<br />

shrink wrap. Another group of<br />

Cashmere High School students<br />

finished second at the awards<br />

with their company Pivot.<br />

The students business teacher<br />

Matt Benassi won the National<br />

Teacher of the Year Award at the<br />

event.<br />

UPGRADES: Akaroa Community and School Library will be<br />

closed for four weeks from November 18 while improvements<br />

are made to the building.<br />

Repairs planned for library<br />

THE AKAROA Community<br />

and School Library will soon<br />

be closed for repairs and<br />

refurbishment.<br />

The building at 2 Selwyn Ave<br />

will be closed for about four<br />

weeks from November 18, while<br />

work is done to modify the<br />

library’s layout and improve its<br />

energy efficiency.<br />

City council head of<br />

libraries and information<br />

Carolyn Robertson said the<br />

improvements are aimed at<br />

making the library a more<br />

comfortable space for both<br />

customers and library staff.<br />

“Because the library is only<br />

going to be shut for about four<br />

weeks we have made the decision<br />

not to set up temporary<br />

library facilities in Akaroa.<br />

Instead, we are encouraging<br />

library members to borrow a<br />

month’s load of items before the<br />

library closes.<br />

“While the library is closed,<br />

customers will be able to return<br />

borrowed items to the Service<br />

Centre in Akaroa. They will<br />

also still be able to access our<br />

full range of digital resources<br />

including e-books, e-magazines,<br />

and digital newspapers,’’ Ms<br />

Robertson said.<br />

It is expected the Akaroa<br />

Community and School Library<br />

will reopen to the public on<br />

December 16.<br />

During the library’s closure,<br />

the nearest libraries for Akaroa<br />

residents will be Little River<br />

Library and Te Hapua: Halswell<br />

Centre.

Rare bird<br />

spotted near<br />

Birdlings Flat<br />

A TINY and very rare Arctic<br />

wader has been spotted near<br />

Birdlings Flat.<br />

It was one of just five recorded<br />

sightings of the bird ever in New<br />

Zealand.<br />

The little stint or calidris<br />

minutus (above), which is<br />

smaller than a sparrow, was seen<br />

at Kaitorete Spit by Keystone<br />

Ecology ornithologist Niall<br />

Mugan.<br />

City council ornithologist<br />

Andrew Crossland said the<br />

unusual sighting is a case of<br />

“migration overshoot” and the<br />

bird is about 12,000km from<br />

home.<br />

“This sighting is pretty awesome<br />

and it really cements the<br />

legend of Lake Ellesmere in the<br />

ornithological world. It’s such an<br />

amazing place for wildlife.”<br />

Mr Crossland said Lake<br />

Ellesmere is one of New<br />

Zealand’s most important sites<br />

for migratory birds from Siberia<br />

and Alaska.<br />

Timeball light designer recognised<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

KEVIN CAWLEY designed the<br />

lights at Lyttelton’s Timeball<br />

Station to make an iconic<br />

structure become a beacon of<br />

pride to the community at night.<br />

And now, the lighting designer<br />

has been recognised for his work<br />

with two awards<br />

of excellence at<br />

the Illumination<br />

Engineering<br />

Society lighting<br />

awards on<br />

<strong>October</strong> 18.<br />

After 5pm every<br />

Kevin<br />

Cawley<br />

night, a “shaft of<br />

light” accentuates<br />

the difference<br />

between the two types of stone<br />

on the 143-year-old structure,<br />

which is one of five working<br />

timeballs in the world.<br />

Mr Cawley who took on the<br />

lighting project after being<br />

asked by Heritage New Zealand<br />

director for the southern region<br />

Sheila Watson.<br />

His aim was to “respect the<br />

architectural integrity of the<br />

tower and enhance the beauty of<br />

the structure by night.”<br />

At the awards, Mr Cawley<br />

received one award from<br />

IES and one from the Royal<br />

Astronomical Society of NZ<br />

for efficiently, effectively,<br />

sustainably protecting the night<br />

environment.<br />

“I was stoked. I felt extremely<br />

proud,” he said.<br />

Built in 1876 to a design by<br />

architect Thomas Cane, the<br />

timeball signalled the correct<br />

time for ships in Lyttelton<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> until 1934.<br />

THe reconstruction of<br />

the station after it was<br />

destroyed in the February 22,<br />

2011, earthquake was completed<br />

in <strong>October</strong> last year.<br />

Back to swimming after a long absence<br />

YOU KNOW how I said I missed<br />

the whole co-sleeping thing?<br />

Well on Tuesday I woke up<br />

to Vittoria breaking the laws of<br />

physics by putting her entire body<br />

weight onto my face through her<br />

face while lying down. She was also<br />

singing in my ear.<br />

It was way too early to make<br />

me miss waking up like that. No<br />

amount of adorable singing is<br />

enjoyable before sunrise.<br />

Laura flat out denied inserting<br />

a toddler between us, so I have no<br />

idea how she got into that position<br />

either. I’m not sure if I was woken<br />

up earlier and grabbed her into bed<br />

to settle her, if she jumped up on<br />

her own accord or if she has actually<br />

mutated the ability to teleport.<br />

Hell, can you imagine if it was<br />

the last one? Absolute nightmare.<br />

Beyond face-based wrestling<br />

moves, we finally started back to<br />

swim classes last week.<br />

It’d been three months since Vittoria<br />

had last been in a pool, so I<br />

was worried her water confidence<br />

would have waned.<br />

My ability to handle washing,<br />

drying and dressing both myself<br />

and a much less cooperative toddler<br />

post-swim was also in question<br />

(mostly in my head). Fortunately<br />

Laura had the day off so I had both<br />

change-time support and a photographer<br />

on call.<br />

Concerns around (Vittoria’s) confidence<br />

disappeared as soon as the<br />

water hit her face and she cracked a<br />

massive smile. It was like she’d not<br />

missed a whole term and she aced<br />

each activity. She even remembered<br />

the actions to the Aquagym class<br />

song better than me.<br />

The only thing I thought had<br />

VITTORIA<br />

& Matt<br />

slipped was remembering to kick<br />

her legs when she did the activities<br />

designed to introduce her to swimming<br />

techniques, but she improved<br />

during the class.<br />

Unfortunately, time away hadn’t<br />

dulled her dislike of swimming on<br />

her back and it still held the same<br />

risk of being uppercut, hair pulled<br />

or getting fingers up your nose.<br />

Of course, her favourite thing is<br />

to jump off the foam mat into the<br />

pool, it remained top of the list.<br />

Hopefully this week the smooth<br />

sailing continues in the pool.<br />

Especially as Laura will be working<br />

and I’ll be having to address my<br />

concerns for my post swim admin<br />

ability.<br />

Sculpture unveiled in Teddington<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

A DISAPPEARING dress on a<br />

dissolving staircase at Loudon<br />

Farm in Teddington explores life<br />

and the unknown future.<br />

Sculptor Anna Korver has<br />

finished her artwork on the<br />

farm in preparation for the<br />

South Island’s largest sculpture<br />

exhibition, Sculpture on the<br />

Peninsula, which runs from<br />

November 8-10.<br />

Korver set off from her studio<br />

in Taranaki with a dismantled<br />

steel staircase in the back of her<br />

Cold Storage<br />

by David Koepp<br />

When Pentagon bioterror operative Roberto Diaz was sent to investigate<br />

a suspected biochemical attack, he found something far worse: a highly<br />

mutative organism capable of extinction-level destruction. Now, after decades<br />

of festering in a forgotten sub-basement, the specimen has found its way out<br />

and is on a lethal feeding frenzy. And only Diaz knows how to stop it. He<br />

races across the country to help two unwitting security guards –<br />

one an ex-con, the other a single mother. Over one harrowing<br />

night, the unlikely trio must figure out how to quarantine<br />

this horror again . . . before it’s too late,<br />

The Sequel To PS, I Love You<br />

by Cecelia Ahern<br />

The long-awaited sequel to the international bestseller PS, I Love You! It’s<br />

been seven years since Holly Kennedy’s husband died - six since she read<br />

his final letter, urging Holly to find the courage to forge a new life. She’s<br />

proud of all the ways in which she has grown and evolved. But when a<br />

group inspired by Gerry’s letters, calling themselves the PS, I Love You<br />

Club, approaches Holly asking for help, she finds herself drawn back into<br />

a world that she worked so hard to leave behind. Reluctantly, Holly begins<br />

a relationship with the club, even as their friendship threatens to destroy the<br />

peace she believes she has achieved. As each of these people calls upon<br />

Holly to help them leave something meaningful behind for their loved ones,<br />

Holly will embark on a remarkable journey - one that will challenge her to<br />

ask whether embracing the future means betraying the past, and what it<br />

means to love someone forever....<br />

HARD WORK has paid off<br />

for Redcliffs resident Shaun<br />

Halliwell, owner of Merivale’s<br />

No.4 Restaurant and Bar.<br />

The business was named number<br />

one at the Hospitality New<br />

Zealand Awards for Excellence<br />

last week.<br />

The restaurant now holds the<br />

title of ‘best neighbourhood bar<br />

and eatery.’<br />

Mr Halliwell said it wasn’t the<br />

first award the business has won,<br />

but it was the first of such a high<br />

magnitude.<br />

“Since we opened No.4 in<br />

2006, real hospitality has been at<br />

the centre of everything we do.<br />

We look after our team, and they,<br />

in turn, stick around, often for<br />

many years and look after our<br />

customers. Some of them even<br />

recall individual loyalty card<br />

numbers,” he said.<br />

Mr Halliwell said the award is<br />

Award for restaurant owner<br />

great recognition of all the hard<br />

work his staff put into their work.<br />

“They do a great job, they work<br />

incredibly hard,” he said.<br />

He thought the reason behind<br />

the businesses success is that<br />

its spaces cater to a range of<br />

occasions.<br />

“We can have a rowdy party<br />

going on in the bar, live music<br />

outside, and a formal dinner<br />

in the library, and everybody’s<br />

happy,” Mr Halliwell said.<br />

He submitted an application<br />

to Hospitality New Zealand to<br />

be entered in the running for the<br />

award and was pleased with the<br />

result.<br />

Head chef Ian Mulling – who<br />

has been with the No.4 team<br />

since it ran the Clarendon<br />

Restaurant on Oxford Tce which<br />

was destroyed in the earthquakes<br />

– accepted the award on behalf<br />

of the team at a ceremony in<br />

Hawke’s <strong>Bay</strong>.

Tasty Bites<br />

Dishes of the world<br />

These sweet and savoury treats from Russia and Japan are quick to prepare<br />

and very adaptable<br />

Russian apple cake<br />

Serves 8-10<br />

Ingredients<br />

6 large apples (granny smiths are<br />

perfect for this)<br />

3 large good-quality eggs, at<br />

room temperature<br />

1 cup sugar<br />

1 tsp vanilla<br />

1 cup flour<br />

Pinch cinnamon<br />

Directions<br />

Grease an 18cm round cake<br />

tin with removable bottom. Line<br />

with greaseproof paper.<br />

Prepare the apples by peeling<br />

and removing core. Cut the<br />

apples into small chunks and<br />

place directly into prepared cake<br />

tin.<br />

Using an electric mixer, whisk<br />

the eggs with the sugar and<br />

vanilla until thick and airy and<br />

ribbons form on the surface.<br />

Sift in the flour and fold<br />

through until just combined.<br />

Pour over the apples – the egg<br />

mixture should end up level with<br />

the apples. Bake in a pre-heated<br />

oven for 40-45min or until a<br />

skewer comes out clean. Cool for<br />

10min in the tin then remove and<br />

cool. This cake is delicious warm<br />

or cold.<br />

Okonomiyaki pancake<br />

Makes 4 large or 8 small<br />

Ingredients<br />

½ small cabbage, very thinly<br />

sliced<br />

4 carrots, julienned or sliced as<br />

thinly as possible<br />

½ red onion, sliced thinly<br />

4 leaves kale, cavolo nero, stalks<br />

removed and sliced very thin<br />

1 tsp salt<br />

6 eggs, lightly beaten<br />

½ cup flour or rice flour<br />

Oil for frying<br />

To serve<br />

2 spring onions, sliced thinly<br />

Japanese mayonnaise<br />

Okonomiyaki sauce<br />

Directions<br />

Toss all the prepared vegetables<br />

and salt together in a large bowl.<br />

Mix through the eggs and flour<br />

until evenly combined.<br />

Heat a large fry pan on<br />

medium-high heat. Coat the<br />

bottom of the fry pan with oil.<br />

When hot, add pancake<br />

mixture.<br />

Make either four large or eight<br />

small. These pancakes should<br />

be thick (½cm) and full of<br />

vegetables.<br />

If making the large ones you<br />

may only be able to cook one at<br />

a time. If this is the case, you can<br />

refresh them in a warm oven.<br />

Cook them until golden and<br />

crispy (3min).<br />

Carefully flip and continue<br />

cooking until golden on the other<br />

side. When cooked, remove and<br />

keep warm. Serve with sauces<br />

squiggled over the top and<br />

sprinkle with spring onions.<br />

Optional toppings are pork<br />

belly slices or shrimps.<br />

Boot goes into exciting Mazda 3<br />

Motoring<br />

Ross Kiddie<br />

IT’S TOO early to be talking<br />

about the <strong>2019</strong> New Zealand<br />

Motoring Writer’s Guild Car of<br />

the Year award, the nominations<br />

have only just been released and<br />

judging won’t take place until<br />

December.<br />

However, I’m pleased to say<br />

the new Mazda3 is on the list of<br />

finalists. I say this because the<br />

latest generation model has made<br />

quite an impact on me, it is one<br />

very fine vehicle.<br />

Effectively, I’ve driven three<br />

models back-to-back, two hatches<br />

and a sedan, and each stands out<br />

as being competent, quality built,<br />

efficient and purposeful, what’s<br />

more it’s such a darn nice car to<br />

drive and to be in.<br />

I’ve mentioned many times<br />

in these columns how I’m very<br />

much a sedan buyer and although<br />

I’ve owned hatches and liftbacks<br />

over the years, I’m always drawn<br />

to the traditional concept.<br />

This evaluation surrounds<br />

the Mazda3 sedan, and it would<br />

be the car for me if I had funds<br />

to buy new in today’s market.<br />

I would settle for the entry<br />

level GSX at $36,595, but the<br />

evaluation car – a Limited at<br />

$48,795 – is a model which<br />

borders on the luxury car class<br />

for just a fraction of the cost.<br />

As opposed to the GSX with<br />

its 2-litre engine, the GTX and<br />

Limited both get a 2.5-litre<br />

four-cylinder engine. Each has<br />

its merits, and both deliver<br />

outstanding performance.<br />

The 2.5 is rated at 139kW and<br />

252Nm, although the outputs<br />

are reached a little tall in the rev<br />

band at 6000rpm and 4000rpm<br />

respectively, the management<br />

protocols are structured so that<br />

effective torque is spread broadly.<br />

Drive is carried to the front<br />

wheels through a traditional sixspeed<br />

automatic transmission.<br />

In limited form the driver has<br />

the use of paddle shifters should<br />

he or she want to get involved in<br />

the gearchange process. Shifts are<br />

smooth and satisfactorily quick,<br />

the engine has no trouble filling<br />

the gaps between gears but with<br />

six cogs the ratios are quite close,<br />

so there are no surprises there.<br />

The gearing is also structured<br />

so that the engine isn’t loaded<br />

at highway speed, at 100km/h it<br />

is turning over at just 1900rpm,<br />

quite relaxed and sipping fuel<br />

at the instantaneous rate of<br />

5.5-litres per 100km (51mpg).<br />

That contributes to the efficient<br />

7.6l/100km (37mpg) dash panel<br />

MAZDA3 LIMITED SEDAN: Increase in boot space.<br />

average during my time with the<br />

evaluation car. Mazda claims<br />

a combined cycle average of<br />

6.5l/100km (44mpg), which<br />

correlates well with my figures.<br />

In terms of figures, the new 3<br />

also has a good turn of speed,<br />

it’s no rocket, but with an 8.8sec<br />

time to make 100km/h from a<br />

standstill, it easily keeps pace<br />

with traffic and disgraces cars<br />

with a far higher pedigree. A lot<br />

of that can be attributed to its<br />

relative lightweight, at 1388kg, it’s<br />

not burdened, and is a tribute to<br />

the Mazda engineers who, early<br />

in the company’s manufacturing<br />

process, realised how important it<br />

is to build cars minimising weight<br />

in all components.<br />

That also has a beneficial effect<br />

on handling. The Mazda3 is tight<br />

and composed when presented<br />

with quick corners. I took the<br />

test car on a short hilly burst and<br />

enjoyed its directional accuracy<br />

and stability. Saying that, the new<br />

model doesn’t have the benefit<br />

of four-wheel independent<br />

suspension, there are struts up<br />

front, but the rear is a torsion<br />

beam-type linking the two rear<br />

wheels. Nevertheless, I’m yet to<br />

find a reason why I don’t like it,<br />

there is solid direction control in<br />

a corner, and comfort levels are<br />

far from compromised.<br />

If today’s new car buyer isn’t<br />

hell-bent on buying a sports utility<br />

vehicle, then the next option would<br />

generally be a hatch or liftback.<br />

That being the case, the Mazda3<br />

sedan would probably be a final<br />

choice for many. However, it’s there<br />

for those like me who are drawn to<br />

having good boot space. Yes, the<br />

load space in the Mazda3 sedan<br />

is deep and cavernous – 444-litres<br />

of cargo can be carried there. That<br />

compares to 295-litres of the hatch<br />

with the rear seats upright.<br />

There’s no compromise in<br />

styling; while the hatchback<br />

is bold and daring around the<br />

C-pillar, the sedan is a little more<br />

conservative, but it still looks<br />

smart and desirable.<br />

Limited specification is Mazda’s<br />

high grade variant, and it misses<br />

out on nothing. All the traditional<br />

items are fitted including the latest<br />

generation i-Activesense suite<br />

of safety technologies, safety has<br />

reached a new pinnacle in modern<br />

cars, and Mazda’s inclusions are<br />

first class and uncompromised.<br />

It easily meets the five-star<br />

Australasian New Car Assessment<br />

Program criteria.<br />

It’s been a big year for Mazda<br />

New Zealand, it has launched<br />

a raft of new models and I’ve<br />

evaluated all of those.<br />

Each stands out for varying<br />

reasons but the one thing<br />

common to all is the involvement<br />

and enjoyment that can be<br />

gleaned from being in the<br />

company’s line-up. It is indicative<br />

of the passion it has for making<br />

engaging, mainstream cars that<br />

punch well above their weight<br />

in terms of where they sit in the<br />

market.
