Passer-by saves cat from fire
House
goes up
in flames
moments later
• By Jess Gibson
A CHARTERIS BAY man has spoken
of how he ran into a neighbour’s
property fearing the occupants were
inside.
The man, who did not wish to be
named, sprinted up the driveway to the
house on Marine Dr after seeing smoke
pouring from the hillside on Monday.
The blaze started in the bushes below
the property, but it was not long before
the deck caught fire and flames were
ripping through the inside of the house.
“I tell you it’s an absolute heads-up for
anybody about fires. You see the ads about
having to get out in seconds, and it’s absolutely
true,” he told Bay Harbour News
yesterday.
The man was relieved to find no one
was home, however, he did manage to
find and save the occupants’ cat – Plague.
After searching frantically for a way to
put out the fire but having no luck, the
man phoned 111.
Four fire crews attended from
Governors Bay, Diamond Harbour
and central stations at about 5.30pm
and extinguished the fire in about an
hour.

A LUCKY break for Plague the cat on page
1 today.
Plague was in a Charteris Bay house
which caught fire late on Monday afternoon.
The occupants were not home.
Another Charteris Bay resident was
heading into the city and saw smoke. Like any good citizen he
went in to investigate. No-one was inside but a cat was.
He duly picked it up and took it from the property which was
now starting to burn quickly and dialled 111.
And the rescuer, who did not want to be named, has a
message about those fire prevention ads on TV: “I tell you it’s an
absolute heads-up for anybody about fires. You see the ads about
having to get out in seconds, and it’s absolutely true.”

Disappointment at lack of action
on estuary shellfish limits
• By Jess Gibson
A GROUP concerned with
Avon Heathcote Estuary’s daily
shellfish limit are disappointed
it can not be lowered for at least
a year.
Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai
Trust chairman Kit Doudney
wrote to Ministry for Primary
Industries requesting the daily
recreational limit be lowered
from 150 to 25 per person.
The trust agreed last Wednesday
a reduction would become its
short term goal for protecting the
estuary while it worked out a way
to enforce a harvesting ban.
However, MPI director of
fisheries management Stuart
Anderson said it would take a
minimum of one year to lower
the recreational daily limits in
the estuary.
“The process would include
formal consultation and the
government’s approval of any
changes,” he said.
Mr Anderson said signs will
be erected in the estuary enforcing
the limit of 150 in the next
couple of months as there is currently
nothing stating the rules.
The impact of shellfish gathering
in the estuary on shellfish
numbers, birdlife, and human
LET DOWN:

Estuary Ihutai
Trust chairman
Kit Doudney said
residents would

the health of the
Avon Heathcote
Estuary will take
more than a year.
health has been of growing
concern for its surrounding communities.
Mr Doudney said the community
was likely to be “very
disappointed” that reducing
the collection limit would
now have to become one of
the trust’s long term goals.
The trust also has a long
term goal of working with
Ngai Tuahuriri to develop a
mataitai, which would allow
tangata whenua to enforce
a ban.
However, because a
mataitai may take months or
years to instigate, the trust
saw a reduction as a way to
control excessive gathering
in the interim.
He said the trust will
discuss possible short term
goals at its meeting next
month.
Mr Doudney said signs
being put in at the estuary
was a “positive” but he was
sceptical of how long they
would last, as the last set
disappeared.
Fisheries officers regularly
patrol the estuary to ensure
harvesting is lawful. Penalties are
in place for non-compliance.
In Brief
LIQUOR STORE REOPENS
The Redcliffs Fine Wine and
Liquor Store at 1/87 Main Rd
is set to open today. It has been
empty for four months following
a controversial decision by the
alcohol regulatory and licensing
committee to grant Rizak
Enterprises Ltd sole director
Juraj Singh an off-licence.
PARKING CONGESTION
Vehicles parking along Park
Tce in Corsair Bay have been
causing traffic congestion on
busy days. The Banks Peninsula
Community Board has asked
city council staff to provide
information on what could be
done to address the issue and
whether there are any steps that
can be taken prior to the busy
Christmas period to alleviate
congestion.
NIGHT PATROL ENDS

70-year-old firefighter gets a rush when
Sumner volunteer
firefighter Paul Groufsky
has just turned 70 and is
still fighting fires. He talks
to reporter Jess Gibson
IT WAS 2001 when Paul
Groufsky moved to Sumner in
search of a fresh start.
After his late wife, Paula,
died suddenly from a brain
haemorrhage in 1993, he waited
until his four children were old
enough before moving out of
Harewood.
Eight years on Mr Groufsky
shifted into his new home and
wanted to get out and meet
people in the community – so he
wandered down to the Sumner
Fire Station.
Now, the 70-year-old is still
fighting fires, driving trucks and
operating the water pumps for
the volunteer brigade, which he
said has become like a family to
him.
Mr Groufsky is the oldest
firefighter in the brigade, and his
fellow members recently threw
a special supper to celebrate his
birthday on November 13.
And after 19 years, he said he
still gets an adrenalin rush every
time the sirens go off.
Since retiring from his job at
the freezing works four years
ACTIVE: At 70, Paul Groufsky is still fighting fires with the Sumner volunteer brigade.

ago, he said he is pretty much
always available to shoot down
the road to the station.
“When you hear it go, your
whole body gets into action,” he
said.
“We fight all types of fires,
rescue animals, save kids who
have got their legs stuck in
bicycle spokes or heads through
gates. We also attend car
accidents, emergency calls like
‘When you hear it go,
your whole body gets into
action’
– Paul Groufsky
heart attacks and do general first
aid,” he said.
He said the hardest, yet most
memorable callout was to the
Port Hills fires in 2017.
“The wind changes all the time
and you’ve got to be so aware
because the fire can come up
behind you.”
However, the most rewarding
callouts for Mr Groufsky are
the ones where the brigade
gives victims a second chance at
survival.
“I love giving back to the
community and giving people
hope.”
Last year, Mr Groufsky
recieved a Community Services
Award from the Linwood-
Central-Heathcote Community
Board.
Mr Groufsky said the brigade
has helped him through some
of his harder times since he
joined.
He said they were extremely
supportive when his oldest
daughter, Kate, died suddenly in
2010 and when he lost his home
soon after in the February 22,
2011, earthquake.

siren sounds
On the other hand, the brigade
has also witnessed some of the
highlights in Mr Groufsky’s life,
like when he met his partner
Ferne in 2009, who he later
married in 2013.
Mr Groufsky said he is lucky
to have the support of his wife
and other family members for
his volunteer work.
Bike rides, walking, swimming
and hiking up the Port Hills
with Mrs Groufsky is part of
how he stays fit for the brigade.
It helped him to pass a simulation
test recently at Woolston
Station, which means he can
continue to attend most callouts.
“If I didn’t feel fit enough I
wouldn’t be going, but I can keep
up with most of the young ones.”
He said he hopes to hang
around for at least another six
years, so he can get a gold star
to represent 25 years on the
brigade.
“If I’m fit enough and able
to keep up and make sure that
I’m safe, and that my fellow
firefighters are safe while I work
with them, I’ll go for as long as
I can.”
Plague now safe at rescuer’s home
• From page 1
After leaving the property, the
man said he had a sore throat and
eyes but was otherwise fine.
Plague is now safe at his home
while the occupants, believed to
be a young couple renting the
one-bedroom property, stay with
family.
“I’m just sorry for them that I
couldn’t save the house,” he said.
Fire investigator Jason Hobbs
was at the scene yesterday trying
to determine the cause of the fire.

minutes to spread through
the house.

Ruth Dyson. She beat out the other
nominees Joe Davies, Tyrone Fields
and Reuben Davidson.
It comes after electoral boundary
changes were proposed for
Canterbury which could see Selwyn
redrawn and a name change for the
Port Hills electorate.
The changes would see Selwyn’s
map redrawn to no longer include
Banks Peninsula, which could
mean the current Port Hills
electorate would be re-named Banks
Peninsula.

Diamond Harbour
gets petrol station
• By Jess Gibson
FILLING UP is now
a whole lot easier for
the Diamond Harbour
community.
For the first time in 13
years, residents can whip
downtown to fill up instead
of heading at least 25km to
the nearest service station
in Cashmere or Tai Tapu.
NPD has recently opened
a 24/7 self-service station
on Marine Drive, which
offers regular 91, premium
95 and diesel.
Diamond Harbour Volunteer
Fire Brigade chief
officer Bob Palmer said
crew members are pleased
with the new facility.
After attending an hour
and a half callout to a serious
crash on Pigeon Bay Rd
on November 15, he said
a quick refuel enabled the
brigade to be ready to take
its next call.
For several years, the
brigade had been using a
small tank of diesel at the
fire station to fill up its
vehicles and before that,
fuel was bought over from
the city.
Now, Mr Palmer said
NPD will be the new regular.
On the Spot Diamond
Harbour is right next door
to the new station, and
owner James Grant said the
communities reaction has
been “very positive.”
FILL UP: Diamond Harbour Volunteer Fire Brigade
senior firefighter Jeremy Palmer fills a truck after
attending a serious crash on Pigeon Bay Rd, Port
Levy.
He said it will be a big
change for residents as
most had learned to keep
spare petrol and diesel in
their garage.
“It also means there’s less
tourists getting stranded
here on the weekends, as
well as less answering questions
about where the closest
place to get fuel is and
seeing people’s face when
you tell them.”
He said the new NPD
would also be positive for
people visiting the area as
they could stick around
longer.
By-election preparations
get under way
NOMINATIONS FOR the
vacant Banks Peninsula
Community Board seat
opened this week.
The city council is seeking
candidates for a position
representing the Mt
Herbert subdivision from
now until December 23.
A by-election to fill the
seat will be held on February
18.
The extraordinary vacancy
has arisen because only
one of the two positions
representing Mt Herbert
was filled at October’s local
body elections.
Newcomer Howard
Needham was elected
unopposed.
While candidates do not
need to live in the Mt Herbert
subdivision, they will
need to be nominated for
the position by two people
who do.
They must be New Zealand
citizens and enrolled
in the electoral roll.
Said city council electoral
officer Jo Daly: “This byelection
is a great opportunity
for someone who wants
to represent the community
to have a seat at the community
board table.
“Nominations close at
noon on December 23.
If you leave it to the last
minute, we may not have
enough time to address
any issues with your
nomination.”

Private
artwork
collection
to be
auctioned
A PRIVATE collection of
artwork will be auctioned in
Diamond Harbour on Sunday.
Now on display at Stoddart
Cottage, the collection includes
several 19th-century oil paintings
and watercolours.
All 23 artworks have been
donated to the Stoddart Cottage
Trust by a Church Bay family,
who wish to remain anonymous.
It is understood all seven of
the 19th century watercolours
were brought from Scotland by
the donor’s forebears who settled
in Southland about 1879.
The auction is a special fundraising
event to raise money for
the trust’s collection and heritage
activities.
Proceeds will be used for
maintaining and adding to its
own collection of artefacts associated
with the cottage and the
Stoddart family who lived in the
cottage in the 1860s and 1870s.
The trust hopes to be able
to acquire one or two original
Margaret Stoddart paintings for
public display at the cottage.
Said trust chairwoman Paula
Smith: “We were blown away
when the donor told us what she
planned to do.”
The cottage at 2a Waipapa
Ave will be open every day during
the week leading up to a live
auction, including weeknights
on Tuesday, Thursday and
Friday.
Visitors can place written bids
on works they like, culminating
the live auction which will take
place on Sunday at 5pm.
Entrepreneurs strap in for success
• By Matt Slaughter
TWO BUDDING entrepreneurs
have been given a chance to
present their product on the
national stage.
Wayo Whyte, of Lyttelton, and
Riley Flanagan, of Governors
Bay, are two of four Cashmere
High School students who
invented “Pivot,” the world’s first
instant ice strapping tape.
The group of year 13 students
also includes Josh Dalley and
Luisa Birkenhake.
The team has recently been
recognised by winning one of
two regional spots to compete
for Young Enterprise Scheme’s
Company of the Year award in
Wellington on December 4.
Pivot is a strapping tape that
goes ice-cold with the addition
of water.
Pivot chief executive Josh said
winning this award would mean
Pivot would gain great exposure.
The product also won the
regional excellence award for innovation
and the regional award
for enterprising technology.
Josh said winning these awards
made all of the hard work that
went into designing the product
pay off.
Local girls help bag ethics gold medals
• By Claire Booker
MONCKS BAY residents Lucy
Sawyer and Hannah Wylie
have bagged gold medals from
Christchurch’s Middle School
Ethics Olympiad competition.
They were part of a group of
St Margaret’s College Year 9
students to win the competition,
during its first year being held in
New Zealand, with previous ones
being in Australia.
The group of five students,
which also included Claudia
Hundlby, Tessa Sitjies and Emily
Harris, beat Hillmorton High
School in a close finish.
They answered questions
on subjects including lying,
donations, tracking apps, relationships,
dog ownership, the
environment and charities.
ACHIEVEMENT: Teacher Matt Benassi with Luisa Birkenhake,
Riley Flanagan, Wayo Whyte and Josh Dalley, one of two
Canterbury teams to be selected to compete for Young
Enterprise Scheme’s Company of the Year award in Wellington.
“It was absolutely fantastic, a
real honour, to be honest. I suppose
it’s when you work really
hard at something for a whole
year and it’s in a big group of
people, every once in a while a
fire sort of gets lit and we feed off
each other and we managed to
do something really amazing.”
The girls took part in a senior
competition earlier in the year, but
group member Hannah Wylie said
the girls wanted to try competing
against students of their own age.
Said Hannah: “Preparing for
the competition was slightly
tricky because we didn’t know
which one of three questions they
would ask for each case.”
The students practised every
Monday and Tuesday in their
lunch hour for more than a
month prior to the competition
and went over questions in their
term 3 school holidays.
Hannah said the students look
forward to competing in the
senior competition next year.
“It has been such a great experience
competing and preparing for
these events.”
He said the team hopes to keep
growing Pivot’s brand and some of
its members are planning to study
business at university, while others
will study engineering.
“We’re looking to move on and
expand and get a real manufacturer
on board hopefully and
we’ve got some big sales channels
SUPPORTED: Pivot tape being
used by students.
and opportunities with some
celebrities actually for endorsement,
said Josh.
“We’re looking to go into the
medical industry, not just the
sporting industry.”
In 2018 there were over
250,000 sports-related ACC injury
claims. The top five injuries
were different types of sprains
which could have been treated
with the Pivot tape, said Josh.
“We are working hard to
revolutionise first-aid for the
world. No longer is your firstaid
kit complete without the
addition of our product,” he said.

Dyers Pass on list of places
to get back its Maori name
• HAVE YOUR SAY: What do
you think about the proposed
name alterations across
Banks Peninsula? Email your
views to - jess.gibson@starmedia.kiwi
• By Jess Gibson
TRADITIONALLY known as
Pukeatua, Dyers Pass was once
a route used by Lyttelton’s Ngai
Tahu settlements to travel into
what is now known as central
Christchurch.
In 1942, it was named after
John Dyer, a well-known farmer
who owned several properties
at Governors Bay and Lyttleton
Harbour.
Now, the existing place name
may be altered to reflect its
Maori history, as the New Zealand
Geographic Board is seeking
feedback on the assignment
or alteration for the names of
13 locations, requested by local
hapu Rāpaki Rūnanga.
If approved, Dyers Pass would
become a dual name with Pukeatua,
used together as one name.
Eleven of the proposals are
for the restoration of traditional
Ngāi Tahu names alongside the
current English names.
Cass Peak would be made into
a dual name with Ōrongomai,
which means “the place where
voices are heard.” Ōrongomai
signifies a historic battle between
CONSULTATION: Dyers Pass could soon also be known as Pukeatua, if a proposal to change
13 place names in Banks Peninsula is successful. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
Ngāi Tahu chief Te Rakiwhakaputa
and tribal group Ngāti
Māmoe, which could be heard
by people nearby.
Adderley Head, a scenic reserve
near Godley Head, would be run
alongside the Maori name Te
Piaka, which refers to the edible
root or bulb of the bulrush plan.
Historic Maori names would
also be added to existing names
for King Billy Island, Mansons
Peninsula, Coopers Knob, Evans
Pass, Sugar Loaf, The Tors, Castle
Rock and Witch Hill.
Two proposals are not for dual
names as there were no English
names for those features - these
include changing Rapaki to Te
Rāpaki-o-Te-Rakiwhakaputa
and Rapaki Rock to Te Ahi-a-
Tamatea.
An NZGB spokesperson said
restoring traditional Ngāi Tahu
names alongside well-known
and established English names
would recognise the significance
of both and provide a window
into the heritage of both cultures.
Deputy Mayor and councillor
Andrew Turner said he was in
support of the proposals.
“This is adding value whilst
taking nothing away. It gives effect
to and recognises the values of the
local Rūnanga, and is an opportunity
for greater understanding,
education and recognition.”
Consultation on the proposals
opened last Wednesday and will
close on December 2 and NZGB
will consider submissions at its
first meeting in 2020.
Submissions can be made
online at www.linz.govt.nz/
regulatory/place-names/placename-consultation,

Akaroa reopens doors to colonial cabinet
A 122-YEAR-OLD cabinet
carved by a Banks Peninsula
farmer will be on display at
Akaroa Museum.
Known as the Stanford
Family Pataka Cabinet, it was
made by John Henry Menzies
in 1897 for his daughter, Charlotte.
It will feature in J H Menzies:
Design and Decoration at
Akaroa Museum from December
7 until March 2020.
The cabinet is laden with
carving and incorporates a
pātaka or Maori storehouse
form, unique in New Zealand
furniture.
It has been repatriated from
Australia after being bought by
the Christchurch Art Museum
and Akaroa Museum.
Akaroa Museum director
Lynda Wallace said that
to “have repatriated such a
significant piece of furniture
is a coup for the gallery, the
museum and, by extension, for
the country.”
Friends of Akaroa Museum
has also helped with the acquisition.
Said FOAM president David
Miller: “We have returned an
item of immense importance
to the place where it was made
and we are thrilled that it has
come home.”
J H Menzies was both a
Banks Peninsula farmer and
a designer and decorator of
buildings and furniture.
Self-taught, he is known for
his deep interest in Māori art
and architecture, appropriating
Māori figures and patterns
Pontoon bid at wharves
• By Jess Gibson
A BID has been made to have
floating pontoons built at the
Takamatua and Robinsons Bay
wharves.
The Robinsons Bay Ratepayers’
and Residents’ Association
and the Takamatua Ratepayers’
Association plan to make a
submission to the city council’s
Long Term Plan next year.
The Takamatua wharf closed
in 2011 following earthquake
damage and was reopened for
late last year, while the Robinsons
Bay wharf closed in 2010
and opened in August.
The pontoons would allow
safe access on and off the
wharves for swimmers and
boaters.
The two associations have
informed the Banks Peninsula
Community Board of their
plans with a letter, which has
now been forward to city
council staff to work out what
steps are required to make a
submission.
This included requesting an
estimate of capital and ongoing
maintenance costs.
into his decoration.
Colonial furniture specialist
William Cottrell has restored
the cabinet.
Said Dr Cottrell: “The upper
pātaka cabinet had its backboards
partially stoved in, apparently
as a result of toppling
backwards during the Cheviot
earthquake in 1951.”
“The crushed backboards
were removed and knitted
back together with new kauri
set in where fragments had
been lost and parts of the
broken glass screen framing
were recreated,” he said.
UNIQUE: The cabinet made
by John Henry Menzies
in 1897 will be on display
at Akaroa Museum from
December 7.

wearing leg ropes,
which is putting

Well done on bringing
this to a discussion point,
and Aaron Lock for making
a stand on a very contentious
issue. As a longtime
shortboard surfer and father
who has stopped his son
from surfing Sumner for
this very reason, it’s dangerous
and so are stand up
paddleboards.
Leashes yes. For older
learner surfers and stand-up
paddleboarders, please utilise

The Fowl Twins by Eoin Colfer
Criminal genius runs in the family…
Myles and Beckett Fowl are twins but the two boys are wildly different.
Beckett is blonde, messy and sulks whenever he has to wear
clothes. Myles is impeccably neat, has an IQ of 170, and 3D prints
a fresh suit every day – just like his older brother, Artemis Fowl.
A week after their eleventh birthday the twins are left in the care
of house security system, NANNI, for a single night. In that time,
they befriend a troll on the run from a nefarious nobleman and an
interrogating nun both of whom need the magical creature for their
own gain . . .
Prepare for an epic adventure in which The Fowl Twins and their new troll
friend escape, get shot at, kidnapped, buried, arrested, threatened, killed
(temporarily) . . . and discover that the strongest bond in the world is not the
one forged by covalent electrons in adjacent atoms, but the one that exists
between a pair of twins.
The first book in the blockbusting new series from global bestseller Eoin Colfer.
The End of the Ocean
by Maja Lunde
From the author of the number one international bestseller The History of
Bees, a captivating new novel about the threat of a worldwide water shortage
as seen through the eyes of a father and daughter.
In 2019, seventy-year-old Signe sets out on a hazardous voyage to cross an
entire ocean in only a sailboat. She is haunted by the loss of the love of her
life, and is driven by a singular and all-consuming mission to make it back
to him. In 2041, David flees with his young daughter, Lou, from a war-torn
Southern Europe plagued by drought. They have been separated from their
rest of their family and are on a desperate search to reunite with them once
again, when they find Signe’s abandoned sailboat in a parched French
garden, miles away from the nearest shore. As David and Lou discover
personal effects from Signe’s travels, their journey of survival and hope
weaves together with Signe’s, forming a heartbreaking, inspiring story about
the power of nature and the human spirit in this second novel from the author
of the “spectacular and deeply moving” The History of Bees.

AS I OPENED up the
columns folder on my
computer to write this, a
number stuck out from the
bottom of the folder – fifty
one.
With these words you’re
reading right now, it has
jumped up to the big 52 – a
full year of columns.
Which also means a full
365 days of being a stay-athome
parent (as of Tuesday)
and spending almost
every waking hour with
Vittoria. We’ve swam, explored,
played,
sang, grown
teeth (well,
one of us did)
and travelled
overseas and
around Canterbury.
She’s
changed so
much over
that time, in so
many wonderful
ways.
The very
first Vittoria
& Matt column I wrote was
about her first steps – and
rueing that they were away
from me.
She definitely still uses
her legs to power herself
away from me (mostly with
me trailing behind going
GROWING UP: Vittoria

“no, no, not there, that’s
dangerous/dirty. Oh bloody
heck’’), but she’s way faster
now.
There’s plenty of walking
and running towards me
to of course, but running
is not the only milestone
we’ve hit this year.
Hearing the
odd word come
out, or seeing
her understand
the things I say
still give me the
wee heart-swell
of pride. Much
as watching her
try to cuddle
the cats, her
love of dancing
and music or
the beginnings
of her playing

Last week she took her favourite
little soft-toy buddy
Dragon and made him ride
her rockinghorse. She even
held the toy’s arms to the
handles and made “wheee”
sounds.

good times too. Like her

getting pneumonia (just
before we left for Italy) or
the discovery of tantrums.
But over the last 12
months I’ve also grown in
my confidence as a parent.
Learned what to actually
worry about, what behaviour
to curb and how to
respond to the tantrums
and grumps.
I’ve also learned how
to play again and how to
(I hope) stoke Vittoria’s
interest in the world
around her. The way she
says “wow” all the time at
the things she sees on our
walks and drives gives me
hope.
All and all, this has been
a truly unique and
rewarding experience that
I may never get the chance
to have again. While I
might not be heading back
to work in the immediate
future, I very much doubt
I’ll be still doing this next
November.
So happy anniversary

CONTINUING EDUCATION
From computer
novice to digital
whizz
A simple desire to become more
confident using computers has opened up
a world of possibilities for Thomas King, a
co-director of a logistics business.
“The world is rapidly changing and to
keep pace with it, having some confidence
and competence in computing is crucial,”
he says. “I realised that I’d have to embrace
this scary but exciting new tech-driven
world sooner or later, and now here I am
today, loving what I once feared.”
Thomas got the skills he was looking
for at Ara Connect, a network of
community hubs operated by Ara Institute
of Canterbury which
offer free, non-assessed
computing courses for
anyone wanting to gain
skills and confidence
using digital technology.
Thomas says the tutors
at Ara Connect made
learning an enjoyable
experience and were
very supportive. “I felt
so inspired during my
journey. The tutors were
very attentive and always
eager to assist. They want
you to succeed and they
encourage you to push

PAGE 17
your boundaries without ever throwing
you in the deep end.”
His advice for anyone else considering
the computing courses at Ara Connect
is to just go for it. “Knowing how to use
computers in a way that delivers results can
make life so much easier, especially in the
world of business. I certainly wish I’d taken
courses like these two decades ago. My
advice is to pluck up the courage and just
go for it.”

courses is available at ara.ac.nz or by

Selwyn Sounds
Zed reforms for the love of it
• By Matt Slaughter
WHEN ZED formed in the late
1990s, they were fresh-faced
teenagers from Cashmere High
School.
The band’s transition from
the classroom to reaching
international audiences and
being managed by New Zealand
music legend Ray Columbus
happened quickly. Their first album
Silencer debuted at number
one on the New Zealand album
charts in 2000 and included hit
singles Renegade Fighter and
Glorafilia.
Zed lead singer and guitarist
Nathan King said highlights
of their young career included
opening for Robbie Williams
and Coldplay and touring
Europe.
Now, fans who want to take
a trip down memory lane and
hear a set filled with Kiwi
classics can do so when Zed
reunites after 15 years to play
Selwyn Sounds on March 7.
Lead singer Nathan King said
the band is looking forward to
playing in front of fans whose
lives may have been impacted by
their music.
“We love bringing a show
which involves the crowd. We
will be playing all the hits but
also there [will be] some surprises
there and there are some
nods to our heroes in terms of a
cover or two that we do which
I think people will love. We’re
just very conscious as a band,
we were a big part of a lot of
people’s lives growing up.”
The Selwyn Sounds crowd
will be treated to Zed’s original
line up of King, fellow Cashmere
High old boys Ben Campbell
and Adrian Palmer and
the band’s only non-Cashmere
connection Andy Lynch.
King said the band had developed
musically in the years
the members had been apart
and they are looking forward to
showing this off.
“Musically, I think we’ve all
developed and matured over the
years. We got together for our
comeback shows that we had in
September and as the frontman
with essentially three guys playing
with me, I was blown away
by the calibre of musicianship
ROCKERS:
Zed members
Ben Campbell,
Adrian Palmer,
Nathan King
and Andy Lynch
will perform at
Selwyn Sounds
on March 7.
•Selwyn
Sounds tickets

co.nz/
that was still there and still evident
after all these years.”
King said the pressure on Zed
in its early days to make a living
is gone. Himself and Lynch
now run Auckland-based music
studio Hum Studios, Campbell
owns Akaroa restaurant Ma
Maison and Palmer is theowner
of Addington Coffee
Co-op.
Zed will play Selwyn Sounds
purely for the love of it, said
King.
Pop-rock
melodies
from Parsons
• By Matt Slaughter
JED PARSONS will be taking
his pop-rock melodies to Selwyn
Sounds.
The former Lincoln High School
student will be performing songs
from his album Midnight Feast,
which was nominated for an award
at the Taite Music Prize ceremony
earlier this year.
Parsons said he and his band
members Moses Robbins and
Matt Andrews will play a diverse,
energetic set for the Selwyn Sounds
crowd.
“You’ll expect anything from sort
of very mellow, acoustic folk songs,
right through to pretty ridiculous
and silly indie rock songs,’’ he said.
“I think we’ll definitely look
to kick the day off with a bang
because we’re one of the first acts to
play on the day. We’ll be hopefully
playing exactly what every single
person in the crowd wants to hear.”
Parsons said he is looking
forward to performing in the area
where he grew up in front of familiar
faces.
“Maybe they [the crowd] might
find it quite entertaining to see
how I’ve developed since being an
annoying little child hogging the
limelight in school productions.”

Mercedes-Benz wagon packs a punch
Motoring
Ross Kiddie
IT WAS ONLY a rumour but I’m a
little worried. I was in conversation
with a colleague about cars and he
told me that Mercedes-Benz was
engineering the sound out of all of
their models.
Well, most Mercedes-Benz cars
are well hushed, and you would
expect that, the engineering is
such that when you are paying for
a luxury car you wouldn’t want
the travelling experience to be
ruined by loud noise.
However, there are some Mercedes-Benz
cars which are loud,
and the company would make no
apology for that, sound is a large
part of their appeal.
The cars I’m talking about are
the performance models, those
with AMG badging and those
with high performance engines,
there are too many to list individually,
but almost all of those have
the 63 S engine, the 4-litre V8 that
characterises the AMG range is
especially loud and I would hate it
if that beautiful exhaust note was
ever stifled.
The latest car to come my way
with that twin-turbocharged V8
was the C 63 S estate, or station
wagon as we have come to know
them down under.
It’s fair to say I was in heaven
with this car, I love wagons and,
of course, that howling V8 up
front is something absolutely
special.
Mercedes-Benz rates the
quad-camshaft unit with a
massive 375kW and a staggering
700Nm of torque, the latter
available all of the way from
2000 to 4500rpm. Hence the C
63 S is a vibrant, lusty vehicle, it
will lunge to 100kmh in 4.1sec
and will complete an 80km/h to
120km/h overtaking manoeuvre
in 3.8sec. They are quick figures
and ones which will satisfy the
sports car buyer immensely. Such
is the strength of the engine, the
traction control network is challenged,
under hard acceleration
you can hear the rear tyres chirping
as they eke grip.
Yes, the C 63 S estate drives
through a nine-speed transmission
to the rear wheels only, to my
way of thinking that’s also a benefit,
while I like the 4Matic system
that is fitted to other Mercedes-
Benz product, the weight saving
and pure driving feel you get
through rear-wheel-drive only is
something rather special.
Of course, the driveline is engineered
for safety and there is little
chance of rear-end breakaway, but
MERCEDES-BENZ AMG C 63 S: Performance car with handy
wagon section.
if you are tackling the back roads
at speed, you can ask the
C 63 S to be a little playful.
Time was a little against me
during testing so I didn’t get all
of the way to the Lake Coleridge
Village, that road is my favourite
for cars of this ilk, but I did get to
Terrace Downs and I was thrilled
with the zest and vibrancy of the
engine, and chassis package.
In terms of sound, there is a
button which amplifies exhaust
tone and I had that activated all of
the time, there’s a bark out of the
pipes when the gears change up
and it is absolutely tantalising.
There are also a multitude of
drive modes and they can be
individually tailored, or you can
use either of the many pre-programmed
settings.
You won’t get away with driving
the V8 C-Class quickly without
• Price – Mercedes-Benz
AMG C 63 S estate,
$172,700
• Dimensions – Length,
4702mm; width, 1810mm;
height, 1457mm
• Configuration – V8,
rear-wheel-drive, 3982cc,
375kW, 700Nm, ninespeed
automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 4.1sec
• Fuel usage – 10.7l/100km
noticing a corresponding effect
on fuel use, after my long highway
burst, the readout was showing
a 12.9- litre per 100km (22mpg)
fuel burn, that’s somewhat higher
than Mercedes-Benz’s combined
cycle claim of 10.7l/100km
(27mpg), but if that target is
achievable then it deserves
credit. For the record, on an easy
100km/h cruise the dash panel
readout sits at 7l/100km (40mpg),
the engine largely unstressed at
1400rpm.
Personally, I was too preoccupied
having fun in the estate
to concentrate too much on
economy, it’s an absolute blast to
drive, everything it does it does so
competently.
I guess at $172,700 you would
want that to be the case, but you
do get a lot of car for the money
and it is fully loaded with everything
for comfort, convenience
and safety.
The C-Class isn’t big in statute
but it is a capable five-seater, and
in estate form it adds just that little
bit of practicality, the load space
will take in up to 490-litres and
that easily translates into a multitude
of cargo carrying options.
The face of motoring is changing
rapidly, there’s a global ground
swell of rhetoric calling for greater
emphasis on alternative fuels as
opposed to the oil we pump out of
the ground - electric and hydrogen-based
alternatives are fast
becoming the buzz words.
That being the case, if there are
buyers out there like me, who like
the pumping sound that is only
available from V8 power, then
now is the time to buy. I’ll never
be able to afford one, but I am
certainly delighted for those who
can find their way into one of
the greatest driving experiences
available in the market today.
