Residents<br />

frustrated<br />

by tram<br />

shelter<br />

delays<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

RESIDENTS ARE frustrated they<br />

will have to wait until the end of<br />

December to use the Moncks <strong>Bay</strong><br />

tram shelter.<br />

City council transport<br />

operations manager Steffan<br />

Thomas told <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News<br />

in April the 85-year-old shelter on<br />

Main Rd was likely to be repaired<br />

and re-opened before the end of<br />

September.<br />

However, he now says further<br />

design work on the maintenance<br />

and strengthening of the shelter<br />

is required, which will then need<br />

to be signed off by the city council<br />

heritage team.<br />

In January, the Redcliffs<br />

Residents Association was<br />

critical of the progress made on<br />

the shelter after the city council<br />

closed it the month before due to<br />

earthquake vulnerability.<br />

Now association chairwoman<br />

Christine Toner says she is “very<br />

disappointed” city council staff<br />

did not keep their word to have it<br />

finished by September.<br />

She said the association was not<br />

told about the delay.<br />

GREAT MEMORIES today from Jim<br />

Wilson (see page 1) of his time with Sir<br />

Edmund Hillary.<br />

Jim, shares some top yarns with reporter<br />

Sophie Cornish which coincides with the<br />

just released movie Hillary: Ocean to Sky.<br />

Jim, a mountaineer himself, recalls being in a Dunedin flat<br />

when he met Sir Ed.<br />

“I can remember our mutual friend, Michael, brought him to<br />

our flat in Dunedin and forever after he (Sir Ed) always claimed<br />

we fed him a whole sack of potatoes and a whole side of mutton,<br />

but he was exaggerating, it was only a quarter of mutton.<br />

“We were hugely in awe of Ed, but he just immediately put us<br />

at ease. He was a lovely, friendly man.”<br />

It sums them all up, really.<br />

Peden to head community board<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

TORI PEDEN has been sworn<br />

in as the new chairwoman of the<br />

Banks Peninsula Community<br />

Board.<br />

The Little River resident of 18<br />

years is “nervous and excited”<br />

to take on a range of projects<br />

coming up over the next three<br />

years.<br />

The main issue she wants to<br />

push hard for is establishing a<br />

destination management plan<br />

that ensures communities are<br />

looked after during tourism<br />

seasons.<br />

Ms Peden was elected to the<br />

position during an inaugural<br />

meeting on Monday, with<br />

Tyrone Fields re-elected to serve<br />

as deputy chairman for another<br />

term.<br />

She will fill the shoes of former<br />

chairwoman Pam Richardson,<br />

who retired from the position<br />

last term along with four other<br />

board members.<br />

Ms Peden is one of three to<br />

return to the community board,<br />

along with Mr Fields and Deputy<br />

Mayor and city councillor<br />

Andrew Turner.<br />

She believes continuity and<br />

experience helped secure her<br />

spot as chairwoman over<br />

newcomers Howard Needham,<br />

Jamie Stewart and Nigel<br />

Harrison. She said she is excited<br />

to learn the dynamics of the new<br />

community board.<br />

“New personalities come on<br />

board and also new strengths,<br />

which we are looking forward to<br />

working with,” she said.<br />

The community board<br />

had three women last term<br />

but now Ms Peden is the only<br />

female representing Banks<br />

Peninsula.<br />

However, she said having<br />

three women in the “fantastic”<br />

governance team will help to<br />

balance it out.<br />

The Linwood-Central-<br />

Heathcote Community Board<br />

also has its inaugural meeting on<br />

Monday.<br />

Sally Buck has been<br />

unanimously re-elected as<br />

chairwoman and Alexandra<br />

Davids will take on the role of<br />

deputy chairwoman for the first<br />

time.<br />

Governors <strong>Bay</strong> jetty likely to sell today for $1<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

THE GOVERNORS <strong>Bay</strong> Jetty is<br />

scheduled to be sold today for $1.<br />

The historic, 300m wooden<br />

structure has been closed since<br />

2011 after a post-earthquake<br />

inspection found it to be unsafe.<br />

PHOTO: NEIL MACBETH<br />

Now the Governors <strong>Bay</strong> Jetty<br />

Restoration Trust is buying it<br />

from the city council to enact an<br />

agreement and take ownership of<br />

the jetty so it can start its repair<br />

project.<br />

Deputy Mayor and city councillor<br />

Andrew Turner will be at<br />

the jetty today to officiate the sale<br />

during a ceremony set to be held<br />

at 11am.<br />

Due to the deteriorated state of<br />

the piles, the sub-structure needs<br />

replacing.<br />

The trust will raise the deck<br />

height by 1m to allow for<br />

sea-level rise caused by climate<br />

change.<br />

Over the years, money to<br />

rebuild the jetty has been raised<br />

by the community in many<br />

ways – including music festivals,<br />

calendar sales, art sales and<br />

Christmas gift packs.<br />

In Brief<br />

RESCUES DURING TRAINING<br />

Twelve rescues were made by<br />

lifeguards from the Sumner Surf<br />

Life Saving Club on Sunday.<br />

Three of the rescues were made<br />

during a lifeguard course, where<br />

25 new members were being<br />

trained for the season to gain<br />

their lifeguard award. Nine<br />

rescues were then made by<br />

lifeguards who were in inflatable<br />

rescue boats training to complete<br />

their IRB driver award.<br />

MILITARY EXERCISE<br />

The New Zealand Defence Force<br />

will be conducting an exercise in<br />

the Port Hills from Tuesday to<br />

Friday next week. The exercise<br />

will involve up to 120 personnel<br />

from Burnham Military Camp. It<br />

will start at Halswell Quarry with<br />

overnight stops at Mt Vernon,<br />

Taylors Mistake and Godley Head<br />

and will finish at Sumnervale<br />

Reserve. For more information,<br />

phone Major Aaron Williamson<br />

on 021 920 375.<br />

PLANTING DAY<br />

A community planting day will<br />

be held as part of the Mahoenui<br />

bush restoration project on<br />

Saturday. Mahoe-nui is a patch of<br />

forest in one of the gullies above<br />

Sumner Valley. If you wish to get<br />

The Dark Island<br />

Leprosy in New Zealand and the Quail Island<br />

Colony by Benjamin Kingsbury<br />

From 19<strong>06</strong> to 1925 Quail Island, in Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong>, was the site<br />

of New Zealand’s leprosy colony. The colony began by accident, as it<br />

were, after the discovery of a leprosy sufferer in Christchurch. As further<br />

patients arrived from across the country, it grew into a controversial<br />

and troubled institution – an embarrassment to the Health Department,<br />

an object of pity to a few, a source of fear to many.<br />

This remarkable narrative reveals a little-known aspect of New<br />

Zealand’s past, shedding light on the treatment of some of society’s<br />

most marginal, unfortunate and isolated people. Written in lucid,<br />

compelling prose, The Dark Island heralds the arrival of a significant<br />

historical voice.<br />

Me Elton John<br />

Sir Elton John, CBE, is a multi-award winning solo artist who has achieved<br />

38 gold and 31 platinum or multi-platinum albums, has sold more than<br />

300 million records worldwide, and holds the record for the biggest-selling<br />

single of all time, ‘Candle in the Wind 1997’. In August 2018 Elton was<br />

named the most successful male solo artist in the Billboard Hot 100 chart<br />

history, having logged 67 entries, including nine Number 1s and 27 Top<br />

10s. Elton launched his first tour in 1970 and since then has performed<br />

over 4,000 times in more than 80 countries. When not recording or<br />

touring, Elton devotes his time to a number of charities, including his own<br />

Elton John AIDS Foundation, which has raised over $300 million and<br />

funded programmes across four continents in the twenty-four years it has<br />

existed. He is married to David Furnish, and they have two sons. Me is his<br />

first and only official autobiography.<br />

The Fabulous Bouvier Sisters<br />

The Tragic and Glamorous Lives of Jackie and Lee<br />

by Sam Kashner: Conversation Starters<br />

Jackie was more traditional, private and quiet, while Lee explored<br />

the modern and experimental. Lee was the flirtatious, outgoing and<br />

fun-loving sister who loved to be in the limelight. The irony was that<br />

it was Jackie who became the famous one and Lee was relegated as<br />

the lady-in-waiting. Lee was original in her style, Jackie copied from<br />

her and took the credit from the applauding international media, which<br />

made Lee even more jealous. The Fabulous Bouvier Sisters peeks into<br />

the private and public lives of these two women, showing their close<br />

yet complicated relationship marked by rivalry and jealousy. The book<br />

is written by Sam Kashner and Nancy Schoenberger who also wrote<br />

about other famous personalities in their books A Talent for Genius<br />

and Furious Love. Kirkus Reviews lauds the book’s “explorations of the<br />

truths and fictions of Camelot [that] continue to mesmerize.”<br />

Big Ideas for Small Houses<br />

By Catherine Foster<br />

A look at a range of small houses around New Zealand, and the<br />

strategies the owners used to get a toehold in the tight housing market.<br />

From building a secondary dwelling on an existing family section, to<br />

tiny houses on pocket handkerchief pieces of land, these approaches<br />

to housing will give ideas and inspiration to all wondering how it can<br />

be possible to own a first home in the twenty-first century. Each entry<br />

begins with a statement about the strategy the owner used to achieve a<br />

home of their own. The houses range in size from 100 square metres<br />

right down to a very cosy 34 square metres! Beautifully photographed,<br />

and including plans and costs, the houses presented are in Puhoi,<br />

west and north Auckland, Raglan, Tamahere, Taupiri, Whanganui,<br />

New Plymouth, Wellington and Christchurch.<br />

A Memoir of My Hollywood years by Julie Andrews<br />

In this follow-up to her critically acclaimed and bestselling memoir<br />

Home, the enchanting Julie Andrews picks up her story with her arrival<br />

in Hollywood, sharing the career highlights, personal experiences and<br />

reflections behind her astonishing career, including such classics as<br />

Mary Poppins, The Sound of Music, Victor/Victoria and many others.<br />

Told with her trademark charm and candour, Julie Andrews takes us<br />

Man with bow and arrow<br />

sought after lamb shot<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

POLICE WANT to know<br />

whether reports of a man<br />

seen carrying a bow and<br />

arrow on the Port Hills<br />

are linked to an incident<br />

involving a lamb being shot<br />

with a crossbow bolt.<br />

Two people were driving<br />

on Summit Rd near<br />

Godley Head Park when<br />

they found a lamb with an<br />

arrow through the front of<br />

its body on October 23 – it<br />

was euthanised the following<br />

day.<br />

Following the incident,<br />

the SPCA launched an<br />

investigation and has since<br />

received a call from someone<br />

who has seen a man<br />

in the area carrying a bow<br />

and arrow.<br />

An SPCA spokeswoman<br />

said the caller reported<br />

having seen the man on “a<br />

recently at the beginning of<br />

September.<br />

The SPCA’s inspectorate<br />

alerted police to the complaints.<br />

Said Senior Sergeant Roy<br />

Appley: “The police are<br />

very concerned about this<br />

sort of activity and if the<br />

‘The police are very<br />

two are linked we would<br />

or sees any person carrying<br />

a bow and arrow in the<br />

vicinity of the Port Hills, to<br />

phone police straight away.<br />

‘It was the highlight of our lives’<br />

BAY HARBOUR<br />

PAGE 7<br />

•From page 1<br />

“But he was exaggerating, it<br />

was only a quarter of mutton,”<br />

Mr Wilson said.<br />

“We were hugely in awe of Ed,<br />

but he just immediately put us<br />

at ease. He was a lovely, friendly<br />

man. We were mountaineers and<br />

he was the first mountaineer who<br />

had made the first ascent of Everest<br />

(1953). He was very famous.”<br />

The very next year the pair,<br />

who soon became close friends,<br />

embarked on their first expedition<br />

together to Nepal – Sir Ed’s<br />

schoolhouse expedition.<br />

“He would persuade young<br />

mountaineers to come with him<br />

to Nepal. Well, he didn’t persuade<br />

us, he invited us and we would<br />

leap at the chance.”<br />

The movie, starring both Mr<br />

Wilson and Sir Ed, showcases<br />

and recounts their most dangerous<br />

expedition, navigating the<br />

length of the Ganges, a 2500km<br />

river which flows through India<br />

and Bangladesh, then climbing a<br />

peak above the river’s headwaters.<br />

But it’s not the first time<br />

film-maker Michael Dillion has<br />

explored the subject. In 1979,<br />

Dillion released From the Ocean<br />

to the Sky, based on the experiences<br />

he and the crew had in<br />

1977 during Sir Ed’s Ocean to<br />

Sky expedition.<br />

The re-made film weaves in the<br />

original footage, while the men<br />

still alive from the expedition,<br />

now in their 60s, 70s and 80s,<br />

recount the events.<br />

When approached by Dillion<br />

about the re-make, Mr Wilson,<br />

now 82, admits he thought Dillion<br />

was crazy.<br />

“He interviewed all us survivors,<br />

I thought it was a crazy idea.<br />

We old folk can hardly remember<br />

our names, let alone what happened<br />

43 years ago. But when<br />

prompted, I could remember<br />

virtually everything. It was the<br />

highlight of our lives, with Ed,<br />

driving jet boats up this sacred<br />

river in India,” Mr Wilson said.<br />

With barely any training, Sir<br />

Ed took Mr Wilson as one of the<br />

jet boat drivers for the trip.<br />

“Only Ed would decide it was a<br />

good idea to take a novice jet boat<br />

driver. Ed liked to have some of<br />

his mates along, rather than just<br />

experts. Despite the fact nine<br />

years before I had sunk a boat<br />

of his in Nepal, he still chose me<br />

again. He was very loyal.”<br />

Nine years earlier Mr Wilson<br />

had misread a wave and drove<br />

one of Sir Ed’s jet boats into the<br />

river bed, causing it to overturn.<br />

“That halved the fleet and put<br />

the whole expedition at risk.<br />

Feeling very sheepish, I crawled<br />

up the riverbank and went to<br />

apologise to Ed and all he said<br />

was: ‘C’est la vie.’ Not a word of<br />

incrimination.”<br />

The movie also features scenes<br />

of Sir Ed visiting the crash site<br />

where his wife Louise and daughter<br />

Belinda were killed in a plane<br />

crash near Kathmandu in 1975.<br />

Sir Ed blamed himself for the<br />

disaster.<br />

Mr Wilson has lived in<br />

Redcliffs for 54 years with his<br />

wife Ann. He is now retired and<br />

spends his time with his grandchildren,<br />

playing tennis and<br />

e-biking. “It’s a wonderful period<br />

of life,” he said.<br />

Said Ms Toner: “We would<br />

like it to be given priority. It’s a<br />

precious piece of equipment and<br />

one of the few historic treasures<br />

we have left on the waterfront.<br />

Said Linwood-<br />

desirable that the<br />

Christine<br />

Toner<br />

“If for whatever reason there is<br />

a change of time line, it is much<br />

better to keep them informed.”<br />

Meanwhile, there are concerns<br />

a 97-year-old tram shelter in<br />

Sumner has become a safety<br />

hazard. City council staff will<br />

consult with the community<br />

board and other interested<br />

parties on whether to remove or<br />

repair the structure at the corner<br />

of Main Rd and Nayland St.<br />

chosen, funding for work would<br />

LESSONS: Environmental scientist Kirsty Brennan gives<br />

Mt Pleasant School pupils Matthew Marshall and Holly<br />

Crooks directions on how to survey the stream.<br />

Pupils learn about aquatic eco-systems<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

MT PLEASANT School pupils got<br />

stuck in during a project to help<br />

improve water quality at Drayton<br />

Reserve Stream.<br />

Groups in years 5 and 6 headed<br />

out with teachers and EOS Ecology<br />

staff last week to carry out<br />

a comprehensive survey of our<br />

stream under the “nature agents”<br />

programme.<br />

The initiative aims to provide<br />

schools and children with the<br />

tools and the knowledge to understand<br />

aquatic eco-systems in their<br />

areas.<br />

GRENADIER<br />

Preliminary results from the<br />

survey, which was held over<br />

Wednesday and Thursday, were<br />

mixed.<br />

Good aspects included water<br />

temperature, pH levels, canopy<br />

cover and bank and riparian vegetation<br />

cover.<br />

The poor ones included water<br />

clarity, variety and numbers of<br />

aquatic invertebrates, algae bed<br />

cover, aquatic plants, silt bed cover,<br />

silt depth and water velocity.<br />

Pupils will now analyse<br />

results and produce conclusions<br />

SCULPTOR Christine Davey was<br />

born and raised in Governors<br />

<strong>Bay</strong> and has always loved its<br />

prominent birdlife.<br />

That love has inspired a display<br />

of ceramic birds titled Feathers<br />

in Focus which will be exhibited<br />

alongside photographs at Stoddart<br />

Cottage Gallery in Diamond<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> throughout <strong>November</strong>.<br />

Her home environment influences<br />

Davey’s art, whether it is<br />

the clay she uses, the design, or<br />

the firing process which may involve<br />

seaweed, shells or saltwater.<br />

Davey is a ‘raku’ clay specialist<br />

as it suits her sculptural forms.<br />

Said Davey: “I enjoy the excitement<br />

of the firing where your<br />

pieces are removed at a thousand<br />

degrees centigrade from a special<br />

kiln and placed into combustibles.<br />

At this stage the piece is so<br />

hot it is translucent, like molten<br />

glass.<br />

“The metallic results are unpredictable<br />

but sometimes stunning,<br />

which keeps you returning to try<br />

for perfection.”<br />

One of her raku pieces was<br />

purchased by the Canterbury<br />

Museum in 2010.<br />

Davey is a former member of<br />

Mount Pleasant Pottery Group<br />

ON DISPLAY:<br />

Christine Davey’s<br />

ceramic birds<br />

titled Feathers<br />

in Focus will be<br />

exhibited alongside<br />

photographs<br />

at Stoddart<br />

Cottage Gallery in<br />

Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />

throughout this<br />

month. ​<br />

Ceramic birds on display<br />

and current member of Halswell<br />

Pottery Group.<br />

She helped establish a small<br />

pottery group in Governor’s <strong>Bay</strong><br />

which has been running for 20<br />

years.<br />

Davey has entered several exhibitions<br />

and has many pieces in<br />

private collections, including the<br />

Peninsula Art Auction <strong>2019</strong>.<br />

Stoddart Cottage Gallery at 2<br />

Waipapa Ave is the birthplace<br />

of well-known Canterbury<br />

impressionist Margaret Stoddart.<br />

It is open to the public every<br />

The Redcliffs<br />

Residents<br />

Association<br />

has launched<br />

an ecovillage<br />

initiative in<br />

response to<br />

the climate<br />

and ecological emergency.<br />

Member Dave Bryce<br />

encourages awareness of<br />

sustainable recreation<br />

TO ADDRESS the climate and<br />

ecological emergency, we all<br />

need to reduce the extent of<br />

fossil fuel-assisted recreational<br />

pursuits and increase the extent<br />

of “natural powered” recreation.<br />

We will also need to reduce<br />

activities which adversely impact<br />

on the environment and ecosystems<br />

in other ways.<br />

These actions will also give<br />

us a cleaner environment, more<br />

exercise, and will be better for<br />

our general health and probably<br />

easier on expenses.<br />

The range of options is still<br />

large and can include walking,<br />

tramping, running, orienteering,<br />

geocaching, climbing, kayaking,<br />

paddling, rowing, sailing, surfing<br />

and swimming, to name a<br />

few.<br />

A tip is to think about how you<br />

travel to do your sport – is it possible<br />

to avoid driving to the start<br />

of the activity?<br />

Maybe you can walk or bike,<br />

or perhaps car pool so that<br />

the emissions per person are<br />

reduced.<br />

Biking to your local gym<br />

or tennis court can be a great<br />

warm-up activity.<br />

If you are going for a walk,<br />

run, bike etc, perhaps you can<br />

design a loop from your home<br />

and even via your friends’ houses<br />

so that no emissions occur for<br />

the exercise.<br />

Also, consider events which<br />

start and finish at the same<br />

place, rather than different<br />

places, so that extra vehicle travel<br />

can be avoided.<br />

Your Local Views<br />

Answering your questions about boating safety<br />

Navigational safety officer<br />

Gary Manch responds to<br />

readers’ feedback and<br />

offers up some safety<br />

advice<br />

IN MY LAST article, I asked for<br />

feedback about boating and it<br />

was great to hear from you.<br />

One question was sent<br />

in on the identification of<br />

vessels under the operating<br />

requirements of the Navigation<br />

Safety Bylaw 2016, relating to<br />

belonging to a sporting body as<br />

approved by the harbourmaster.<br />

The sporting clubs are listed on<br />

the Environment Canterbury<br />

website as required by the bylaw.<br />

It’s probably appropriate at this<br />

stage to remind you that your<br />

boat does require identification,<br />

as per the bylaw.<br />

For those of you with<br />

Pirate’s Corner<br />

powerboats on a trailer,<br />

including jet skis, you will<br />

require the registration number<br />

of your trailer on either side of<br />

the vessel above the waterline<br />

visible to the naked eye from<br />

50m away and the size of the<br />

lettering must be at least 90mm<br />

high. See clause 20 of the<br />

Navigation Safety Bylaw 2016 for<br />

more specific details or email me<br />

with your questions.<br />

Another reader found the title<br />

of my column offensive due to its<br />

name ‘Pirate’s Corner’ because<br />

pirates are not very nice people<br />

A postcard quality day out<br />

YOU REALLY have to love<br />

spring in Christchurch.<br />

Beyond the fact it’s such a<br />

relief to see the colour green<br />

after weeks of living under<br />

the world’s biggest summer’s<br />

“coming soon” sign, that is<br />

Christchurch, there is a lot more<br />

to do in the city.<br />

On Monday, Laura and I<br />

took advantage of the perfect<br />

sunshine and temperature to<br />

take Vittoria to the Big Band<br />

Picnic in Victoria Square.<br />

We had taken her last year and<br />

the music moved her before she<br />

could even walk. She held herself<br />

up on her pram and started, for<br />

want of a better word, twerking.<br />

So we were confident she<br />

would enjoy it and were not<br />

disappointed.<br />

There were so many jazz hands<br />

and sways being thrown about<br />

from Vittoria that Laura and I<br />

could eat an entire pizza without<br />

fending off the hungering<br />

mouth.<br />

Possibly the fact that it was<br />

a mushroom pizza may have<br />

helped, but I doubt it.<br />

Her dance moves and obvious<br />

enjoyment were super cute.<br />

The music and the atmosphere<br />

even stopped her running off, in<br />

spite of her normal tendencies,<br />

whenever we want to sit down<br />

and relax in a public area.<br />

The only thing that distracted<br />

her from the music for any<br />

length of time were a couple of<br />

dogs, her new favourite animal.<br />

To celebrate how well it was all<br />

going, we decided to take part<br />

in a century-old Christchurch<br />

tradition and get a treat from Ice<br />

Cream Charlie.<br />

So far we’d managed to<br />

tick off two big ticket items from<br />

the list of stuff to do in the city<br />

VITTORIA<br />

& Matt<br />

IN SYNC:<br />

Vittoria<br />

busting out<br />

the moves at<br />

the Big Band<br />

Picnic.<br />

when it’s sunny. To round out<br />

the day we made the daring<br />

call to skip Vittoria’s afternoon<br />

nap and head to the Sign of the<br />

Takahe to get the trifecta. And<br />

a coffee. Fortunately the gamble<br />

paid off and the wee trooper<br />

held her own on all of 10<br />

minutes of pram-sleep, lasting<br />

through the coffees and even a<br />

News journalist Matt<br />

Salmons has become a<br />

stay-at-home dad. We<br />

follow his journey weekly.<br />

If you have a boating<br />

question, email<br />

gary.manch@ecan.govt.nz<br />

and cause all sorts of mayhem<br />

and harm.<br />

So where do I go with this?<br />

Do we change the name of the<br />

column or keep it as it is? When<br />

I named the column, I was<br />

looking for a light-hearted title<br />

that would draw attention, and<br />

to be honest, I have never heard<br />

of a pirate giving safety advice<br />

before, so it was intended to be<br />

a bit tongue-in-cheek. However,<br />

please email me if you think<br />

the title should stay the same or<br />

change, I am happy to open it up<br />

to discussion.<br />

Lastly, during <strong>November</strong>, there<br />

are two nationwide initiatives<br />

from Maritime New Zealand<br />

to promote boating safety –<br />

Water Safety Month and Safer<br />

Boating Week. These promotions<br />

have the full support of ECan’s<br />

harbourmaster’s office. The<br />

purpose of these promotions<br />

is to bring home the fact that<br />

being on or in the water has its<br />

own risks. We want to remind<br />

people to make sure they think<br />

about the risks when boating and<br />

ensure they have the appropriate<br />

safety gear for the task at hand.<br />

This might seem like a simple<br />

message, but sadly we have had<br />

18 recreational boating deaths<br />

this year and we don’t want any<br />

more. So remember: Prepare<br />

your boat, check your gear and<br />

know the rules – get home safe<br />

this summer.<br />

Why pick Linwood College?<br />

Heathcote Ward<br />

city councillor<br />

Sara Templeton<br />

writes about<br />

the Linwood<br />

College rebuild<br />

and making it the<br />

secondary school of choice<br />

in the area<br />

I WAS APPALLED to hear about<br />

the arson at the Linwood College<br />

site on Aldwins Rd last week.<br />

While there has been no<br />

disruption to classes, the fact<br />

someone would set fire to the<br />

old school will have absolutely<br />

impacted students and staff.<br />

Just a few days before, I had seen<br />

the principal, Dick Edmundson,<br />

speaking at the Future Sumner<br />

meeting about the school, the<br />

students and its plans. The school<br />

is currently operating from at<br />

the old Avonside Girls’ High site,<br />

while Linwood is demolished and<br />

completely rebuilt.<br />

It’s an exciting time and<br />

everyone I talk to is impressed<br />

by the fact it is being designed<br />

by Architectus, the same firm<br />

behind Tūranga. The project is<br />

fully school and ministry-led, not<br />

a public or private partnership,<br />

and the school has also chosen to<br />

take a midway approach between<br />

the old-style classrooms and the<br />

newer, open plan learning spaces.<br />

This will give a familiar feel<br />

to the spaces, but still cater for<br />

modern learning and technology.<br />

Two years ago, after walking<br />

around open nights at various<br />

schools, we enrolled our eldest<br />

child at Linwood. Few parents<br />

from our area made the same<br />

choice, so there were some raised<br />

eyebrows and I have had many<br />

conversations with parents about<br />

how it has gone since then.<br />

It wasn’t easy for her to<br />

choose a school that none of<br />

her friends were going to and<br />

I’m so proud she did. She is<br />

enjoying her high school years<br />

and she is thriving. At end of<br />

year Music Extravaganza, I<br />

watched students show enormous<br />

empathy and support for each<br />

other as they performed their<br />

NCEA assessment pieces,<br />

some performing in front of an<br />

audience for the first time.<br />

I’m really looking forward<br />

to seeing how Linwood<br />

College progresses under Mr<br />

Edmundson’s leadership, and<br />

how the rebuild takes shape and<br />

the community around it grows<br />

strong.<br />

Finn’s Fudge<br />

and Mary Gray<br />

Confections<br />

THERE’S nothing more satisfying than sinking your teeth<br />

into a decadently smooth and creamy piece of fudge and<br />

savouring the flavour as it melts in the mouth.<br />

That’s exactly how it is with Finn’s Fudge. It’s exquisite and<br />

one could admit it’s almost impossible to stop at just one piece<br />

and even more difficult to share!<br />

“Our fudge has a wonderful mix of rich flavour and<br />

luxurious texture that is made right here in Ferrymead from<br />

natural ingredients and contains no preservatives or gluten,”<br />

said Gary Price, co-owner.<br />

But it is not only the ingredients that are important in<br />

making such delicious fudge. The process plays a major role<br />

in creating the right amount of flavour and achieving the<br />

right texture. Exact timing and temperature requirements are<br />

essential to providing a consistent and high quality product<br />

and the team at Finn’s in Ferrymead are proud their handmade<br />

process meets this standard.<br />

“Because everything is precisely prepared and carefully hand<br />

poured we are able to produce a traditional homemade style<br />

fudge that ensures a beautiful ‘melt-in-the-mouth’ experience.<br />

One piece is never enough!<br />

They are also individually wrapped for freshness.”<br />

“We sell boxes, bars and individual treats and, due to the<br />

high quality of our products, our fudge is used for both<br />

fundraising and Corporate Gifts,” said Gary.<br />

As well as their wide selection of fudge comprising of<br />

Chocolate, Choc Coconut, Choc Mint, Russian, Caramel Sea<br />

Salt, Ginger, Manuka Honey, and NZ Kiwifruit, Finn’s Fudge<br />

produce a range of boiled lollies and is also the home of highly<br />

respected Mary Gray Confections.<br />

Finn’s Fudge is currently available at New World, Fresh<br />

Choice, Caltex and Mobil Garages and is served on Air New<br />

Zealand regional flights. However you can also buy their<br />

products direct, either online at www.finnsfudge.co.nz or visit<br />

What should you expect<br />

from your agent?<br />

Placing your property in the hands of a real estate agent<br />

can be, and in fact should be, a huge decision. Your<br />

property, whether its your family home or an investment<br />

property, is often your number one asset. Consequently<br />

there is a lot at stake so it’s not unreasonable to anguish<br />

over who you should entrust with the responsibility of not<br />

only presenting your home to the market, but who you<br />

feel will provide a high level of service and is most likely<br />

to achieve the best result. Without wanting to focus on<br />

the negative, there’s a lot that can go wrong. The current<br />

post-quake environment is still throwing a few curve<br />

balls in regard to reports, repairs, and the expectations<br />

and demands of insurers. Your agent needs to be well<br />

versed and equipped with the knowledge and skills to<br />

deal with this. Of course buyers also have an expectation<br />

of full disclosure and transparency when it comes to<br />

matters that may affect a decision to purchase. However,<br />

above all, communication is still<br />

the number one expectation of a<br />

vendor/seller relationship. Or more<br />

specifically, a lack of communication<br />

is usually the biggest cause of<br />

complaint. Sometimes things don’t<br />

go quite as planned; some agents will shy away from<br />

delivering bad news, afraid of letting their vendor down or<br />

perhaps not wanting to own up to a mistake. As much as<br />

we want everything to go well when a property is on the<br />

market, sometimes it just doesn’t. Therefore, if you are<br />

in the process of selecting an agent it’s probably a good<br />

question to ask in the early stages, “when and how often<br />

will you communicate with me?” and “What can I expect<br />

from you regarding communication?”<br />

bowl and stir well to combine.<br />

Set aside.<br />

Put the melted butter, dark<br />

cane sugar, eggs and vanilla<br />

extract into a medium-sized<br />

bowl and beat together for<br />

several minutes on high speed<br />

until thick and creamy.<br />

Reduce the speed and<br />

gradually add the mashed<br />

bananas, beating until well<br />

combined. Make a well in the<br />

centre of the dry ingredients and<br />

stir in the banana mixture a third<br />

at a time, mixing well after each<br />

addition.<br />

Tip into the prepared tin<br />

(either loaf tin or cake tin) and<br />

smooth the top.<br />

Bake until golden brown – it<br />

should be firm to the touch<br />

and a skewer inserted into the<br />

centre should come out clean<br />

(about 50-55 minutes). You may<br />

need to cover the bread with<br />

baking paper for the last 15min<br />

of cooking if it is browning too<br />

much.<br />

Remove from the oven and<br />

cool on a wire rack for about<br />

20min. Slide a knife between<br />

the side of the tin and the bread<br />

to loosen it. Invert the tin on to<br />

a wire rack, remove the baking<br />

paper, turn right way up and<br />

leave to cool.<br />

To serve the loaf, cut it into<br />

thick slices and toast if you wish.<br />

Cuts into 14-15 slices.<br />

To serve as a cake, use ice<br />

with lemon icing or leave plain.<br />

Without the icing, the banana<br />

flavour is more pronounced.<br />

Cuts into 16-20 slices.<br />

Ingredients<br />

400g ricotta<br />

2 eggs<br />

1 egg yolk<br />

120g freshly grated parmesan,<br />

basil<br />

Directions<br />

In a large bowl, mix together<br />

ricotta, eggs, egg yolk, flour,<br />

seasoning and parmesan cheese.<br />

Mix to combine. Put into a<br />

piping bag with large plain<br />

nozzle.<br />

Dust a tray heavily (5mm)<br />

with semolina and pipe 2cmwide<br />

tubes the length of the tray.<br />

Continue until all the mix is used<br />

and gently roll the tubes in the<br />

semolina.<br />

Chill for as long as possible (an<br />

hour or overnight).<br />

Bring a large pot of salted<br />

water to the boil.<br />

While the water is coming<br />

to the boil, heat a large fry pan<br />

asparagus and cook until the<br />

asparagus becomes tender (about<br />

4min).<br />

3-4min) remove and drain.<br />

High comfort levels in Honda CRV<br />

CARS ARE always a great<br />

conversation starter.<br />

The other day a former<br />

work colleague came into the<br />

office meeting up with old<br />

acquaintances. We had a bit of a<br />

chat and he asked me what I had<br />

driven lately, I responded, and<br />

then asked what he was driving.<br />

He answered by saying he was in<br />

a company-supplied sport utility<br />

vehicle but was anxious that it<br />

would be replaced soon with a<br />

sedan. He said he liked the SUV<br />

and felt that a traditional sedan<br />

wouldn’t measure up – literally.<br />

That’s part of the reason why<br />

the SUV market is so buoyant,<br />

they are practical, functional and<br />

mostly car-like to drive, it’s easy<br />

to become attached to that type of<br />

transport.<br />

One of the models that kickstarted<br />

the SUV revolution was<br />

Honda’s CRV, that was around<br />

1996, and since then it has gone<br />

through several life-cycles and<br />

facelifts. The CRV has just been<br />

upgraded and there is now the<br />

choice of a seven-seat version<br />

which will excite the traditional<br />

CRV buyer who has occasionally<br />

craved for extra seats.<br />

The CRV lands here in several<br />

Motoring<br />

Ross Kiddie<br />

variations – starting at $33,990 and<br />

ending at $48,990. Interestingly,<br />

the five-seat S model, as evaluated,<br />

gets a 2-litre, single-camshaft,<br />

naturally-aspirated engine, and<br />

while that’s not unusual in an<br />

SUV, what is surprising is that<br />

it is the only model in the range<br />

that doesn’t get Honda’s new<br />

turbocharged 1.5-litre engine that<br />

has gained quite a reputation in<br />

this part of the market.<br />

As opposed to the four-wheeldrive<br />

system of its stablemates,<br />

the entry-level model is also<br />

front-drive only, yet that would<br />

suit me, I’m not big on off-theseal<br />

travel, and if you treat it with<br />

respect it will provide most of<br />

the fundamentals mid-size SUV<br />

buyers are looking for.<br />

As you would expect from the<br />

Honda manufacturing process, the<br />

CRV is clinical in terms of interior<br />

design, comfort and function. The<br />

trim elements are high grade and<br />

the specification level is high.<br />

The CRV S is rated at 113kW<br />

and 189Nm. Honda also claims<br />

a 7.6-litre per 100km (37mpg)<br />

combined cycle fuel usage rating.<br />

That’s a healthy target and is<br />

indicative of the Honda goal of<br />

reducing fuel use. I saw that as<br />

HONDA CRV: Several engine and driveline options.<br />

a benchmark during my time<br />

with the test car, and instead<br />

of exploring power outputs I<br />

concentrated on trying to meet<br />

that average fuel use figure. I<br />

couldn’t, but I did get close at<br />

8.2l/100km (35mpg) with a<br />

6l/100km (47mpg) figure sitting<br />

at the 100km/h legal limit. The<br />

engine is turning over at just<br />

1800rpm at that speed, which isn’t<br />

working hard, and that contributes<br />

to the thrifty way in which it<br />

operates.<br />

Drive is channelled through a<br />

continuously variable automatic<br />

transmission. It allows the engine<br />

to work at the area of maximum<br />

efficiency, it draws on as much<br />

torque as it can so that the engine<br />

isn’t loaded unnecessarily.<br />

Of course, there are drive modes<br />

which the driver can choose for<br />

each given journey. The default<br />

mode is normal, but eco and sport<br />

modes can be selected at will.<br />

As mentioned, I didn’t explore<br />

sport mode other than a short<br />

highway burst, and it will stimulate<br />

the engine so that it feels peaky<br />

and responsive. The opposite<br />

applies in eco mode, the throttle is<br />

numb and dull; however, if you are<br />

prepared for that, fuel savings in<br />

that mode are generous.<br />

I took the test car west, cruising<br />

the long straight roads between<br />

Coalgate and Dunsandel, the<br />

CRV feels lithe yet involving<br />

from behind the wheel. In S<br />

specification it rides on 235/65<br />

x 17in Good Year tyres and they<br />

help contribute to the strong<br />

steering feel and accurate corner<br />

turn-in.<br />

The CRV sits high at almost<br />

1.7m so there is a bit of<br />

gravitational movement over the<br />

suspension, but as a by-product<br />

of having a four-wheel-drive<br />

• Price – Honda CRV S,<br />

$33,990<br />

• Dimensions – Length,<br />

4596mm; width,<br />

1855mm; height, 1679mm<br />

• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />

front-wheeldrive,<br />

1998cc, 113kW,<br />

189Nm, continuously<br />

variable automatic.<br />

• Performance –<br />

0-100km/h, 8.8sec<br />

• Fuel usage – 7.6l/100km<br />

option, even the front-drive CRV<br />

gets a fully independent set-up<br />

underneath, and that has both ride<br />

and handling benefits. Comfort<br />

levels are extraordinarily high,<br />

the suspension willingly absorbs<br />

bumps and ruts, just floating over<br />

uneven surfaces. This is one aspect<br />

that the CRV excels in, it simply<br />

has a magical ride.<br />

Honda has had to work hard<br />

to keep the CRV a desirable<br />

purchase. There’s so much<br />

competition in the mid-size SUV<br />

market, but I’m pleased to report<br />

that it is still a front-runner and<br />

will constantly please those who<br />

relate to all that it represents.<br />

There’s also a model for all<br />

budgets and each has significant<br />

presence. Regular readers will<br />

recall I’m not a big leather trim fan<br />

and the cloth seat covering of the S<br />

model really appeals to me. It’s that<br />

ability to cater for all tastes that<br />

will keep the CRV ticking over the<br />

market for many years to come.

Public Notices<br />

Consultation on two proposed mātaitai<br />

bylaws for Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong><br />

Tangata Tiaki/Kaitiakai for the Whakaraupō Mātaitai and the Rāpaki Mātaitai have proposed<br />

bylaws that would; reduce recreational daily limits for a number of local fish and shellfish<br />

species, close two small areas to cockle harvest to allow enhancement to occur, and prohibit<br />

taking seaweed except karengo and wakame (Undaria).<br />

The Whakaraupō Mātaitai and the Rāpaki Mātaitai, between them, cover most of Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />

The proposals follow surveys conducted by Te Tiaki Mahinga Kai (a customary research<br />

and monitoring team based at the University of Otago) which indicate risk of decline and<br />

overharvesting in these mātaitai. The bylaws relate only to recreational fishing as commercial<br />

fishing is already prohibited with the mātaitai.<br />

The proposed bylaws may be inspected at the MPI offices, Sir William Pickering Drive,<br />

Christchurch and the Rāpaki Marae Office at 39 Rāpaki Drive, Governor’s <strong>Bay</strong>.<br />

Or, on the Fisheries New Zealand web site:<br />

www.mpi.govt.nz/fisheries-consultations<br />

You can make submissions on either or both proposed sets of bylaws by emailing<br />

fmsubmissions@mpi.govt.nz<br />

Please put “Mātaitai bylaws proposal” in the subject line of your email.<br />

While we prefer email, you can also post your written submission to:<br />
