Passer-by saves cat from fire<br />

House<br />

goes up<br />

in flames<br />

moments later<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

A CHARTERIS BAY man has spoken<br />

of how he ran into a neighbour’s<br />

property fearing the occupants were<br />

inside.<br />

The man, who did not wish to be<br />

named, sprinted up the driveway to the<br />

house on Marine Dr after seeing smoke<br />

pouring from the hillside on Monday.<br />

The blaze started in the bushes below<br />

the property, but it was not long before<br />

the deck caught fire and flames were<br />

ripping through the inside of the house.<br />

“I tell you it’s an absolute heads-up for<br />

anybody about fires. You see the ads about<br />

having to get out in seconds, and it’s absolutely<br />

true,” he told <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News<br />

yesterday.<br />

The man was relieved to find no one<br />

was home, however, he did manage to<br />

find and save the occupants’ cat – Plague.<br />

After searching frantically for a way to<br />

put out the fire but having no luck, the<br />

man phoned 111.<br />

Four fire crews attended from<br />

Governors <strong>Bay</strong>, Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />

and central stations at about 5.30pm<br />

and extinguished the fire in about an<br />

hour.<br />

A LUCKY break for Plague the cat on page<br />

1 today.<br />

Plague was in a Charteris <strong>Bay</strong> house<br />

which caught fire late on Monday afternoon.<br />

The occupants were not home.<br />

Another Charteris <strong>Bay</strong> resident was<br />

heading into the city and saw smoke. Like any good citizen he<br />

went in to investigate. No-one was inside but a cat was.<br />

He duly picked it up and took it from the property which was<br />

now starting to burn quickly and dialled 111.<br />

And the rescuer, who did not want to be named, has a<br />

message about those fire prevention ads on TV: “I tell you it’s an<br />

absolute heads-up for anybody about fires. You see the ads about<br />

having to get out in seconds, and it’s absolutely true.”<br />

Disappointment at lack of action<br />

on estuary shellfish limits<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

A GROUP concerned with<br />

Avon Heathcote Estuary’s daily<br />

shellfish limit are disappointed<br />

it can not be lowered for at least<br />

a year.<br />

Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai<br />

Trust chairman Kit Doudney<br />

wrote to Ministry for Primary<br />

Industries requesting the daily<br />

recreational limit be lowered<br />

from 150 to 25 per person.<br />

The trust agreed last Wednesday<br />

a reduction would become its<br />

short term goal for protecting the<br />

estuary while it worked out a way<br />

to enforce a harvesting ban.<br />

However, MPI director of<br />

fisheries management Stuart<br />

Anderson said it would take a<br />

minimum of one year to lower<br />

the recreational daily limits in<br />

the estuary.<br />

“The process would include<br />

formal consultation and the<br />

government’s approval of any<br />

changes,” he said.<br />

Mr Anderson said signs will<br />

be erected in the estuary enforcing<br />

the limit of 150 in the next<br />

couple of months as there is currently<br />

nothing stating the rules.<br />

The impact of shellfish gathering<br />

in the estuary on shellfish<br />

numbers, birdlife, and human<br />

LET DOWN:<br />

Avon-Heathcote<br />

Estuary Ihutai<br />

Trust chairman<br />

Kit Doudney said<br />

residents would<br />

be disappointed<br />

a plan to improve<br />

the health of the<br />

Avon Heathcote<br />

Estuary will take<br />

more than a year.<br />

health has been of growing<br />

concern for its surrounding communities.<br />

Mr Doudney said the community<br />

was likely to be “very<br />

disappointed” that reducing<br />

the collection limit would<br />

now have to become one of<br />

the trust’s long term goals.<br />

The trust also has a long<br />

term goal of working with<br />

Ngai Tuahuriri to develop a<br />

mataitai, which would allow<br />

tangata whenua to enforce<br />

a ban.<br />

However, because a<br />

mataitai may take months or<br />

years to instigate, the trust<br />

saw a reduction as a way to<br />

control excessive gathering<br />

in the interim.<br />

He said the trust will<br />

discuss possible short term<br />

goals at its meeting next<br />

month.<br />

Mr Doudney said signs<br />

being put in at the estuary<br />

was a “positive” but he was<br />

sceptical of how long they<br />

would last, as the last set<br />

disappeared.<br />

Fisheries officers regularly<br />

patrol the estuary to ensure<br />

harvesting is lawful. Penalties are<br />

in place for non-compliance.<br />

In Brief<br />

LIQUOR STORE REOPENS<br />

The Redcliffs Fine Wine and<br />

Liquor Store at 1/87 Main Rd<br />

is set to open today. It has been<br />

empty for four months following<br />

a controversial decision by the<br />

alcohol regulatory and licensing<br />

committee to grant Rizak<br />

Enterprises Ltd sole director<br />

Juraj Singh an off-licence.<br />

PARKING CONGESTION<br />

Vehicles parking along Park<br />

Tce in Corsair <strong>Bay</strong> have been<br />

causing traffic congestion on<br />

busy days. The Banks Peninsula<br />

Community Board has asked<br />

city council staff to provide<br />

information on what could be<br />

done to address the issue and<br />

whether there are any steps that<br />

can be taken prior to the busy<br />

Christmas period to alleviate<br />

congestion.<br />

NIGHT PATROL ENDS<br />

Private security company<br />

Tactical Response Team has<br />

called it quits on night patrols<br />

in Lyttelton. Director Shannon<br />

Mudge and colleague Shane<br />

Fuller have ended more than two<br />

months of patrolling because<br />

70-year-old firefighter gets a rush when<br />

Sumner volunteer<br />

firefighter Paul Groufsky<br />

has just turned 70 and is<br />

still fighting fires. He talks<br />

to reporter Jess Gibson<br />

IT WAS 2001 when Paul<br />

Groufsky moved to Sumner in<br />

search of a fresh start.<br />

After his late wife, Paula,<br />

died suddenly from a brain<br />

haemorrhage in 1993, he waited<br />

until his four children were old<br />

enough before moving out of<br />

Harewood.<br />

Eight years on Mr Groufsky<br />

shifted into his new home and<br />

wanted to get out and meet<br />

people in the community – so he<br />

wandered down to the Sumner<br />

Fire Station.<br />

Now, the 70-year-old is still<br />

fighting fires, driving trucks and<br />

operating the water pumps for<br />

the volunteer brigade, which he<br />

said has become like a family to<br />

him.<br />

Mr Groufsky is the oldest<br />

firefighter in the brigade, and his<br />

fellow members recently threw<br />

a special supper to celebrate his<br />

birthday on <strong>November</strong> 13.<br />

And after 19 years, he said he<br />

still gets an adrenalin rush every<br />

time the sirens go off.<br />

Since retiring from his job at<br />

the freezing works four years<br />

ACTIVE: At 70, Paul Groufsky is still fighting fires with the Sumner volunteer brigade.<br />

ago, he said he is pretty much<br />

always available to shoot down<br />

the road to the station.<br />

“When you hear it go, your<br />

whole body gets into action,” he<br />

said.<br />

“We fight all types of fires,<br />

rescue animals, save kids who<br />

have got their legs stuck in<br />

bicycle spokes or heads through<br />

gates. We also attend car<br />

accidents, emergency calls like<br />

‘When you hear it go,<br />

your whole body gets into<br />

action’<br />

– Paul Groufsky<br />

heart attacks and do general first<br />

aid,” he said.<br />

He said the hardest, yet most<br />

memorable callout was to the<br />

Port Hills fires in 2017.<br />

“The wind changes all the time<br />

and you’ve got to be so aware<br />

because the fire can come up<br />

behind you.”<br />

However, the most rewarding<br />

callouts for Mr Groufsky are<br />

the ones where the brigade<br />

gives victims a second chance at<br />

survival.<br />

“I love giving back to the<br />

community and giving people<br />

hope.”<br />

Last year, Mr Groufsky<br />

recieved a Community Services<br />

Award from the Linwood-<br />

Central-Heathcote Community<br />

Board.<br />

Mr Groufsky said the brigade<br />

has helped him through some<br />

of his harder times since he<br />

joined.<br />

He said they were extremely<br />

supportive when his oldest<br />

daughter, Kate, died suddenly in<br />

2010 and when he lost his home<br />

soon after in the February 22,<br />

2011, earthquake.<br />

siren sounds<br />

On the other hand, the brigade<br />

has also witnessed some of the<br />

highlights in Mr Groufsky’s life,<br />

like when he met his partner<br />

Ferne in 2009, who he later<br />

married in 2013.<br />

Mr Groufsky said he is lucky<br />

to have the support of his wife<br />

and other family members for<br />

his volunteer work.<br />

Bike rides, walking, swimming<br />

and hiking up the Port Hills<br />

with Mrs Groufsky is part of<br />

how he stays fit for the brigade.<br />

It helped him to pass a simulation<br />

test recently at Woolston<br />

Station, which means he can<br />

continue to attend most callouts.<br />

“If I didn’t feel fit enough I<br />

wouldn’t be going, but I can keep<br />

up with most of the young ones.”<br />

He said he hopes to hang<br />

around for at least another six<br />

years, so he can get a gold star<br />

to represent 25 years on the<br />

brigade.<br />

“If I’m fit enough and able<br />

to keep up and make sure that<br />

I’m safe, and that my fellow<br />

firefighters are safe while I work<br />

with them, I’ll go for as long as<br />

I can.”<br />

Plague now safe at rescuer’s home<br />

• From page 1<br />

After leaving the property, the<br />

man said he had a sore throat and<br />

eyes but was otherwise fine.<br />

Plague is now safe at his home<br />

while the occupants, believed to<br />

be a young couple renting the<br />

one-bedroom property, stay with<br />

family.<br />

“I’m just sorry for them that I<br />

couldn’t save the house,” he said.<br />

Fire investigator Jason Hobbs<br />

was at the scene yesterday trying<br />

to determine the cause of the fire.<br />

mean the current Port Hills<br />

electorate would be re-named Banks<br />

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

gets petrol station<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

FILLING UP is now<br />

a whole lot easier for<br />

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

community.<br />

For the first time in 13<br />

years, residents can whip<br />

downtown to fill up instead<br />

of heading at least 25km to<br />

the nearest service station<br />

in Cashmere or Tai Tapu.<br />

NPD has recently opened<br />

a 24/7 self-service station<br />

on Marine Drive, which<br />

offers regular 91, premium<br />

95 and diesel.<br />

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

Fire Brigade chief<br />

officer Bob Palmer said<br />

crew members are pleased<br />

with the new facility.<br />

After attending an hour<br />

and a half callout to a serious<br />

crash on Pigeon <strong>Bay</strong> Rd<br />

on <strong>November</strong> 15, he said<br />

a quick refuel enabled the<br />

brigade to be ready to take<br />

its next call.<br />

For several years, the<br />

brigade had been using a<br />

small tank of diesel at the<br />

fire station to fill up its<br />

vehicles and before that,<br />

fuel was bought over from<br />

the city.<br />

Now, Mr Palmer said<br />

NPD will be the new regular.<br />

On the Spot Diamond<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> is right next door<br />

to the new station, and<br />

owner James Grant said the<br />

communities reaction has<br />

been “very positive.”<br />

FILL UP: Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> Volunteer Fire Brigade<br />

senior firefighter Jeremy Palmer fills a truck after<br />

attending a serious crash on Pigeon <strong>Bay</strong> Rd, Port<br />

Levy. ​<br />

He said it will be a big<br />

change for residents as<br />

most had learned to keep<br />

spare petrol and diesel in<br />

their garage.<br />

“It also means there’s less<br />

tourists getting stranded<br />

here on the weekends, as<br />

well as less answering questions<br />

about where the closest<br />

place to get fuel is and<br />

seeing people’s face when<br />

you tell them.”<br />

He said the new NPD<br />

would also be positive for<br />

people visiting the area as<br />

they could stick around<br />

longer.<br />

Community Board seat<br />

opened this week.<br />

The city council is seeking<br />

candidates for a position<br />

representing the Mt<br />

Herbert subdivision from<br />

now until December 23.<br />

A by-election to fill the<br />

seat will be held on February<br />

18.<br />

The extraordinary vacancy<br />

has arisen because only<br />

one of the two positions<br />

representing Mt Herbert<br />

was filled at October’s local<br />

body elections.<br />

Newcomer Howard<br />

Needham was elected<br />

unopposed.<br />

While candidates do not<br />

need to live in the Mt Herbert<br />

subdivision, they will<br />

need to be nominated for<br />

the position by two people<br />

who do.<br />

They must be New Zealand<br />

citizens and enrolled<br />

in the electoral roll.<br />

Said city council electoral<br />

officer Jo Daly: “This byelection<br />

is a great opportunity<br />

for someone who wants<br />

to represent the community<br />

to have a seat at the community<br />

board table.<br />

“Nominations close at<br />

noon on December 23.<br />

If you leave it to the last<br />

minute, we may not have<br />

enough time to address<br />

any issues with your<br />

nomination.”<br />

Private<br />

artwork<br />

collection<br />

to be<br />

auctioned<br />

A PRIVATE collection of<br />

artwork will be auctioned in<br />

Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> on Sunday.<br />

Now on display at Stoddart<br />

Cottage, the collection includes<br />

several 19th-century oil paintings<br />

and watercolours.<br />

All 23 artworks have been<br />

donated to the Stoddart Cottage<br />

Trust by a Church <strong>Bay</strong> family,<br />

who wish to remain anonymous.<br />

It is understood all seven of<br />

the 19th century watercolours<br />

were brought from Scotland by<br />

the donor’s forebears who settled<br />

in Southland about 1879.<br />

The auction is a special fundraising<br />

event to raise money for<br />

the trust’s collection and heritage<br />

activities.<br />

Proceeds will be used for<br />

maintaining and adding to its<br />

own collection of artefacts associated<br />

with the cottage and the<br />

Stoddart family who lived in the<br />

cottage in the 1860s and 1870s.<br />

The trust hopes to be able<br />

to acquire one or two original<br />

Margaret Stoddart paintings for<br />

public display at the cottage.<br />

Said trust chairwoman Paula<br />

Smith: “We were blown away<br />

when the donor told us what she<br />

planned to do.”<br />

The cottage at 2a Waipapa<br />

Ave will be open every day during<br />

the week leading up to a live<br />

auction, including weeknights<br />

on Tuesday, Thursday and<br />

Friday.<br />

Visitors can place written bids<br />

on works they like, culminating<br />

the live auction which will take<br />

place on Sunday at 5pm.<br />

Entrepreneurs strap in for success<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

TWO BUDDING entrepreneurs<br />

have been given a chance to<br />

present their product on the<br />

national stage.<br />

Wayo Whyte, of Lyttelton, and<br />

Riley Flanagan, of Governors<br />

<strong>Bay</strong>, are two of four Cashmere<br />

High School students who<br />

invented “Pivot,” the world’s first<br />

instant ice strapping tape.<br />

The group of year 13 students<br />

also includes Josh Dalley and<br />

Luisa Birkenhake.<br />

The team has recently been<br />

recognised by winning one of<br />

two regional spots to compete<br />

for Young Enterprise Scheme’s<br />

Company of the Year award in<br />

Wellington on December 4.<br />

Pivot is a strapping tape that<br />

goes ice-cold with the addition<br />

of water.<br />

Pivot chief executive Josh said<br />

winning this award would mean<br />

Pivot would gain great exposure.<br />

The product also won the<br />

regional excellence award for innovation<br />

and the regional award<br />

for enterprising technology.<br />

Josh said winning these awards<br />

made all of the hard work that<br />

went into designing the product<br />

pay off.<br />

Local girls help bag ethics gold medals<br />

• By Claire Booker<br />

MONCKS BAY residents Lucy<br />

Sawyer and Hannah Wylie<br />

have bagged gold medals from<br />

Christchurch’s Middle School<br />

Ethics Olympiad competition.<br />

They were part of a group of<br />

St Margaret’s College Year 9<br />

students to win the competition,<br />

during its first year being held in<br />

New Zealand, with previous ones<br />

being in Australia.<br />

The group of five students,<br />

which also included Claudia<br />

Hundlby, Tessa Sitjies and Emily<br />

Harris, beat Hillmorton High<br />

School in a close finish.<br />

They answered questions<br />

on subjects including lying,<br />

donations, tracking apps, relationships,<br />

dog ownership, the<br />

environment and charities.<br />

ACHIEVEMENT: Teacher Matt Benassi with Luisa Birkenhake,<br />

Riley Flanagan, Wayo Whyte and Josh Dalley, one of two<br />

Canterbury teams to be selected to compete for Young<br />

Enterprise Scheme’s Company of the Year award in Wellington.<br />

“It was absolutely fantastic, a<br />

real honour, to be honest. I suppose<br />

it’s when you work really<br />

hard at something for a whole<br />

year and it’s in a big group of<br />

people, every once in a while a<br />

fire sort of gets lit and we feed off<br />

each other and we managed to<br />

do something really amazing.”<br />

The girls took part in a senior<br />

competition earlier in the year, but<br />

group member Hannah Wylie said<br />

the girls wanted to try competing<br />

against students of their own age.<br />

Said Hannah: “Preparing for<br />

the competition was slightly<br />

tricky because we didn’t know<br />

which one of three questions they<br />

would ask for each case.”<br />

The students practised every<br />

Monday and Tuesday in their<br />

lunch hour for more than a<br />

month prior to the competition<br />

and went over questions in their<br />

term 3 school holidays.<br />

Hannah said the students look<br />

forward to competing in the<br />

senior competition next year.<br />

“It has been such a great experience<br />

competing and preparing for<br />

these events.”<br />

He said the team hopes to keep<br />

growing Pivot’s brand and some of<br />

its members are planning to study<br />

business at university, while others<br />

will study engineering.<br />

“We’re looking to move on and<br />

expand and get a real manufacturer<br />

on board hopefully and<br />

we’ve got some big sales channels<br />

SUPPORTED: Pivot tape being<br />

used by students.<br />

and opportunities with some<br />

celebrities actually for endorsement,<br />

said Josh.<br />

“We’re looking to go into the<br />

medical industry, not just the<br />

sporting industry.”<br />

In 2018 there were over<br />

250,000 sports-related ACC injury<br />

claims. The top five injuries<br />

were different types of sprains<br />

which could have been treated<br />

with the Pivot tape, said Josh.<br />

“We are working hard to<br />

revolutionise first-aid for the<br />

world. No longer is your firstaid<br />

kit complete without the<br />

addition of our product,” he said.<br />

WINNERS: St Margaret’s College year 9 students Lucy<br />

Sawyer (left), Hannah Wylie, Tessa Sitjes, Emily Harris and<br />

Claudia Hundleby beat Hillmorton High School and took<br />

out first place in the Christchurch Middle School Ethics<br />

Olympiad competition.<br />

Dyers Pass on list of places<br />

to get back its Maori name<br />

• HAVE YOUR SAY: What do<br />

you think about the proposed<br />

name alterations across<br />

Banks Peninsula? Email your<br />

views to - jess.gibson@starmedia.kiwi<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

TRADITIONALLY known as<br />

Pukeatua, Dyers Pass was once<br />

a route used by Lyttelton’s Ngai<br />

Tahu settlements to travel into<br />

what is now known as central<br />

Christchurch.<br />

In 1942, it was named after<br />

John Dyer, a well-known farmer<br />

who owned several properties<br />

at Governors <strong>Bay</strong> and Lyttleton<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />

Now, the existing place name<br />

may be altered to reflect its<br />

Maori history, as the New Zealand<br />

Geographic Board is seeking<br />

feedback on the assignment<br />

or alteration for the names of<br />

13 locations, requested by local<br />

hapu Rāpaki Rūnanga.<br />

If approved, Dyers Pass would<br />

become a dual name with Pukeatua,<br />

used together as one name.<br />

Eleven of the proposals are<br />

for the restoration of traditional<br />

Ngāi Tahu names alongside the<br />

current English names.<br />

Cass Peak would be made into<br />

a dual name with Ōrongomai,<br />

which means “the place where<br />

voices are heard.” Ōrongomai<br />

signifies a historic battle between<br />

CONSULTATION: Dyers Pass could soon also be known as Pukeatua, if a proposal to change<br />

13 place names in Banks Peninsula is successful. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />

Ngāi Tahu chief Te Rakiwhakaputa<br />

and tribal group Ngāti<br />

Māmoe, which could be heard<br />

by people nearby.<br />

Adderley Head, a scenic reserve<br />

near Godley Head, would be run<br />

alongside the Maori name Te<br />

Piaka, which refers to the edible<br />

root or bulb of the bulrush plan.<br />

Historic Maori names would<br />

also be added to existing names<br />

for King Billy Island, Mansons<br />

Peninsula, Coopers Knob, Evans<br />

Pass, Sugar Loaf, The Tors, Castle<br />

Rock and Witch Hill.<br />

Two proposals are not for dual<br />

names as there were no English<br />

names for those features - these<br />

include changing Rapaki to Te<br />

Rāpaki-o-Te-Rakiwhakaputa<br />

and Rapaki Rock to Te Ahi-a-<br />

Tamatea.<br />

An NZGB spokesperson said<br />

restoring traditional Ngāi Tahu<br />

names alongside well-known<br />

and established English names<br />

would recognise the significance<br />

of both and provide a window<br />

into the heritage of both cultures.<br />

Deputy Mayor and councillor<br />

Andrew Turner said he was in<br />

support of the proposals.<br />

“This is adding value whilst<br />

taking nothing away. It gives effect<br />

to and recognises the values of the<br />

local Rūnanga, and is an opportunity<br />

for greater understanding,<br />

education and recognition.”<br />

Consultation on the proposals<br />

opened last Wednesday and will<br />

close on December 2 and NZGB<br />

will consider submissions at its<br />

first meeting in 2020.<br />

Shops bursting with<br />

festive gift ideas<br />

The countdown to the big day is well underway, so making up the<br />

Christmas gift list will now be a top priority… if you haven’t already done so.<br />

Finding those special gifts and stocking fillers as<br />

well as the Christmas treats for the table is so easy at<br />

our city’s malls and shopping centres, where the shops<br />

are bursting with festive merchandise.<br />

Every woman likes to receive body pampering<br />

gifts, and there is a huge selection of these priced<br />

to suit all budgets at the many pharmacies and gift<br />

shops around the city. Perfume is another favourite<br />

and again there is a wide selection to choose from,<br />

ranging from exciting new releases to the well-known<br />

fragrances that have stood the test of time. Lingerie,<br />

jewellery, fashion accessories, homewares and decor<br />

items – there’s no end to the ideas for the women on<br />

the list.<br />

The men are equally well catered for, from the<br />

sophisticated metro-male boyfriends, to the car-crazy<br />

brothers and the DIY enthusiast and keen gardener<br />

husbands and dads. Choose from clothing, books,<br />

tools, personal grooming items and gadgets to put a<br />

smile on their face on Christmas morning.<br />

Speaking of smiles, nothing gives families more joy<br />

than seeing the excitement of the children opening<br />

their presents. Whether they are delivered by Santa<br />

or snuck under the tree by mum and dad, the cuddly<br />

toys, games, dolls and building blocks, the candy<br />

canes, toy trucks and pretty dresses currently filling<br />

the shops will bring squeals of sheer happiness from<br />

the smallest family members.<br />

The tweens and teens usually have their own ideas<br />

about what they want for Christmas, so the gift cards<br />

offered by a wide range of retailers are the perfect way<br />

to please.<br />

Akaroa reopens doors to colonial cabinet<br />

A 122-YEAR-OLD cabinet<br />

carved by a Banks Peninsula<br />

farmer will be on display at<br />

Akaroa Museum.<br />

Known as the Stanford<br />

Family Pataka Cabinet, it was<br />

made by John Henry Menzies<br />

in 1897 for his daughter, Charlotte.<br />

It will feature in J H Menzies:<br />

Design and Decoration at<br />

Akaroa Museum from December<br />

7 until March 2020.<br />

The cabinet is laden with<br />

carving and incorporates a<br />

pātaka or Maori storehouse<br />

form, unique in New Zealand<br />

furniture.<br />

It has been repatriated from<br />

Australia after being bought by<br />

the Christchurch Art Museum<br />

and Akaroa Museum.<br />

Akaroa Museum director<br />

Lynda Wallace said that<br />

to “have repatriated such a<br />

significant piece of furniture<br />

is a coup for the gallery, the<br />

museum and, by extension, for<br />

the country.”<br />

Friends of Akaroa Museum<br />

has also helped with the acquisition.<br />

Said FOAM president David<br />

Miller: “We have returned an<br />

item of immense importance<br />

to the place where it was made<br />

and we are thrilled that it has<br />

come home.”<br />

J H Menzies was both a<br />

Banks Peninsula farmer and<br />

a designer and decorator of<br />

buildings and furniture.<br />

Self-taught, he is known for<br />

his deep interest in Māori art<br />

and architecture, appropriating<br />

Māori figures and patterns<br />

Pontoon bid at wharves<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

A BID has been made to have<br />

floating pontoons built at the<br />

Takamatua and Robinsons <strong>Bay</strong><br />

wharves.<br />

The Robinsons <strong>Bay</strong> Ratepayers’<br />

and Residents’ Association<br />

and the Takamatua Ratepayers’<br />

Association plan to make a<br />

submission to the city council’s<br />

Long Term Plan next year.<br />

The Takamatua wharf closed<br />

in 2011 following earthquake<br />

damage and was reopened for<br />

late last year, while the Robinsons<br />

<strong>Bay</strong> wharf closed in 2010<br />

and opened in August.<br />

The pontoons would allow<br />

safe access on and off the<br />

wharves for swimmers and<br />

boaters.<br />

The two associations have<br />

informed the Banks Peninsula<br />

Community Board of their<br />

plans with a letter, which has<br />

council staff to work out what<br />

steps are required to make a<br />

submission.<br />

This included requesting an<br />

estimate of capital and ongoing<br />

maintenance costs.<br />

into his decoration.<br />

Colonial furniture specialist<br />

William Cottrell has restored<br />

the cabinet.<br />

Said Dr Cottrell: “The upper<br />

pātaka cabinet had its backboards<br />

partially stoved in, apparently<br />

as a result of toppling<br />

backwards during the Cheviot<br />

earthquake in 1951.”<br />

“The crushed backboards<br />

were removed and knitted<br />

back together with new kauri<br />

set in where fragments had<br />

been lost and parts of the<br />

broken glass screen framing<br />

were recreated,” he said.<br />

UNIQUE: The cabinet made<br />

by John Henry Menzies<br />

in 1897 will be on display<br />

at Akaroa Museum from<br />

December 7. ​<br />

responds to the article<br />

in last week’s <strong>Bay</strong><br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> News about<br />

a fad with surfers not<br />

wearing leg ropes,<br />

which is putting<br />

children at risk<br />

Well done on bringing<br />

this to a discussion point,<br />

and Aaron Lock for making<br />

a stand on a very contentious<br />

issue. As a longtime<br />

shortboard surfer and father<br />

who has stopped his son<br />

from surfing Sumner for<br />

this very reason, it’s dangerous<br />

and so are stand up<br />

paddleboards.<br />

Leashes yes. For older<br />

learner surfers and stand-up<br />

paddleboarders, please utilise<br />

the larger open spaces<br />

from Waimairi to South<br />

Shore.<br />

If you must come and<br />

The Fowl Twins by Eoin Colfer<br />

Criminal genius runs in the family…<br />

Myles and Beckett Fowl are twins but the two boys are wildly different.<br />

Beckett is blonde, messy and sulks whenever he has to wear<br />

clothes. Myles is impeccably neat, has an IQ of 170, and 3D prints<br />

a fresh suit every day – just like his older brother, Artemis Fowl.<br />

A week after their eleventh birthday the twins are left in the care<br />

of house security system, NANNI, for a single night. In that time,<br />

they befriend a troll on the run from a nefarious nobleman and an<br />

interrogating nun both of whom need the magical creature for their<br />

own gain . . .<br />

Prepare for an epic adventure in which The Fowl Twins and their new troll<br />

friend escape, get shot at, kidnapped, buried, arrested, threatened, killed<br />

(temporarily) . . . and discover that the strongest bond in the world is not the<br />

one forged by covalent electrons in adjacent atoms, but the one that exists<br />

between a pair of twins.<br />

The first book in the blockbusting new series from global bestseller Eoin Colfer.<br />

The End of the Ocean<br />

by Maja Lunde<br />

From the author of the number one international bestseller The History of<br />

Bees, a captivating new novel about the threat of a worldwide water shortage<br />

as seen through the eyes of a father and daughter.<br />

In <strong>2019</strong>, seventy-year-old Signe sets out on a hazardous voyage to cross an<br />

entire ocean in only a sailboat. She is haunted by the loss of the love of her<br />

life, and is driven by a singular and all-consuming mission to make it back<br />

to him. In 2041, David flees with his young daughter, Lou, from a war-torn<br />

Southern Europe plagued by drought. They have been separated from their<br />

rest of their family and are on a desperate search to reunite with them once<br />

again, when they find Signe’s abandoned sailboat in a parched French<br />

garden, miles away from the nearest shore. As David and Lou discover<br />

personal effects from Signe’s travels, their journey of survival and hope<br />

weaves together with Signe’s, forming a heartbreaking, inspiring story about<br />

the power of nature and the human spirit in this second novel from the author<br />

of the “spectacular and deeply moving” The History of Bees.<br />

computer to write this, a<br />

number stuck out from the<br />

bottom of the folder – fifty<br />

With these words you’re<br />

reading right now, it has<br />

jumped up to the big 52 – a<br />

full year of columns.<br />

Which also means a full<br />

365 days of being a stay-athome<br />

much over<br />

that time, in so<br />

ways.<br />

The very<br />

first Vittoria<br />

about her first steps – and<br />

rueing that they were away<br />

She definitely still uses<br />

her legs to power herself<br />

me trailing behind going<br />

now.<br />

There’s plenty of walking<br />

and running towards me<br />

to of course, but running<br />

is not the only milestone<br />

we’ve hit this year.<br />

Hearing the<br />

odd word come<br />

out, or seeing<br />

her understand<br />

the things I say<br />

still give me the<br />

wee heart-swell<br />

of pride. Much<br />

CONTINUING EDUCATION<br />

From computer<br />

novice to digital<br />

whizz<br />

A simple desire to become more<br />

confident using computers has opened up<br />

a world of possibilities for Thomas King, a<br />

co-director of a logistics business.<br />

“The world is rapidly changing and to<br />

keep pace with it, having some confidence<br />

and competence in computing is crucial,”<br />

he says. “I realised that I’d have to embrace<br />

this scary but exciting new tech-driven<br />

world sooner or later, and now here I am<br />

today, loving what I once feared.”<br />

Thomas got the skills he was looking<br />

for at Ara Connect, a network of<br />

community hubs operated by Ara Institute<br />

of Canterbury which<br />

offer free, non-assessed<br />

computing courses for<br />

anyone wanting to gain<br />

skills and confidence<br />

using digital technology.<br />

Thomas says the tutors<br />

at Ara Connect made<br />

learning an enjoyable<br />

experience and were<br />

very supportive. “I felt<br />

so inspired during my<br />

journey. The tutors were<br />

very attentive and always<br />

eager to assist. They want<br />

you to succeed and they<br />

encourage you to push<br />

BAY HARBOUR<br />

PAGE 17<br />

your boundaries without ever throwing<br />

you in the deep end.”<br />

His advice for anyone else considering<br />

the computing courses at Ara Connect<br />

is to just go for it. “Knowing how to use<br />

computers in a way that delivers results can<br />

make life so much easier, especially in the<br />

world of business. I certainly wish I’d taken<br />

courses like these two decades ago. My<br />

advice is to pluck up the courage and just<br />

go for it.”<br />

courses is available at ara.ac.nz or by<br />

Selwyn Sounds<br />

Zed reforms for the love of it<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

WHEN ZED formed in the late<br />

1990s, they were fresh-faced<br />

teenagers from Cashmere High<br />

School.<br />

The band’s transition from<br />

the classroom to reaching<br />

international audiences and<br />

being managed by New Zealand<br />

music legend Ray Columbus<br />

happened quickly. Their first album<br />

Silencer debuted at number<br />

one on the New Zealand album<br />

charts in 2000 and included hit<br />

singles Renegade Fighter and<br />

Glorafilia.<br />

Zed lead singer and guitarist<br />

Nathan King said highlights<br />

of their young career included<br />

opening for Robbie Williams<br />

and Coldplay and touring<br />

Europe.<br />

Now, fans who want to take<br />

a trip down memory lane and<br />

hear a set filled with Kiwi<br />

classics can do so when Zed<br />

reunites after 15 years to play<br />

Selwyn Sounds on March 7.<br />

Lead singer Nathan King said<br />

the band is looking forward to<br />

playing in front of fans whose<br />

lives may have been impacted by<br />

their music.<br />

“We love bringing a show<br />

which involves the crowd. We<br />

will be playing all the hits but<br />

also there [will be] some surprises<br />

there and there are some<br />

nods to our heroes in terms of a<br />

cover or two that we do which<br />

I think people will love. We’re<br />

just very conscious as a band,<br />

we were a big part of a lot of<br />

people’s lives growing up.”<br />

The Selwyn Sounds crowd<br />

will be treated to Zed’s original<br />

line up of King, fellow Cashmere<br />

High old boys Ben Campbell<br />

and Adrian Palmer and<br />

the band’s only non-Cashmere<br />

connection Andy Lynch.<br />

King said the band had developed<br />

musically in the years<br />

the members had been apart<br />

and they are looking forward to<br />

showing this off.<br />

“Musically, I think we’ve all<br />

developed and matured over the<br />

years. We got together for our<br />

comeback shows that we had in<br />

September and as the frontman<br />

with essentially three guys playing<br />

with me, I was blown away<br />

by the calibre of musicianship<br />

ROCKERS:<br />

Zed members<br />

Ben Campbell,<br />

Adrian Palmer,<br />

Nathan King<br />

and Andy Lynch<br />

will perform at<br />

Selwyn Sounds<br />

on March 7.<br />

•Selwyn<br />

Sounds tickets<br />

are on sale<br />

now at https://<br />

selwynsounds.<br />

co.nz/<br />

that was still there and still evident<br />

after all these years.”<br />

King said the pressure on Zed<br />

in its early days to make a living<br />

is gone. Himself and Lynch<br />

now run Auckland-based music<br />

studio Hum Studios, Campbell<br />

owns Akaroa restaurant Ma<br />

Maison and Palmer is theowner<br />

of Addington Coffee<br />

Co-op.<br />

Zed will play Selwyn Sounds<br />

purely for the love of it, said<br />

King.<br />

Pop-rock<br />

melodies<br />

from Parsons<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

JED PARSONS will be taking<br />

his pop-rock melodies to Selwyn<br />

Sounds.<br />

The former Lincoln High School<br />

student will be performing songs<br />

from his album Midnight Feast,<br />

which was nominated for an award<br />

at the Taite Music Prize ceremony<br />

earlier this year.<br />

Parsons said he and his band<br />

members Moses Robbins and<br />

Matt Andrews will play a diverse,<br />

energetic set for the Selwyn Sounds<br />

crowd.<br />

“You’ll expect anything from sort<br />

of very mellow, acoustic folk songs,<br />

right through to pretty ridiculous<br />

and silly indie rock songs,’’ he said.<br />

“I think we’ll definitely look<br />

to kick the day off with a bang<br />

because we’re one of the first acts to<br />

play on the day. We’ll be hopefully<br />

playing exactly what every single<br />

person in the crowd wants to hear.”<br />

Parsons said he is looking<br />

forward to performing in the area<br />

where he grew up in front of familiar<br />

faces.<br />

“Maybe they [the crowd] might<br />

find it quite entertaining to see<br />

how I’ve developed since being an<br />

annoying little child hogging the<br />

limelight in school productions.”<br />

BAY HARBOUR<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />

Mercedes-Benz wagon packs a punch<br />

Motoring<br />

Ross Kiddie<br />

IT WAS ONLY a rumour but I’m a<br />

little worried. I was in conversation<br />

with a colleague about cars and he<br />

told me that Mercedes-Benz was<br />

engineering the sound out of all of<br />

their models.<br />

Well, most Mercedes-Benz cars<br />

are well hushed, and you would<br />

expect that, the engineering is<br />

such that when you are paying for<br />

a luxury car you wouldn’t want<br />

the travelling experience to be<br />

ruined by loud noise.<br />

However, there are some Mercedes-Benz<br />

cars which are loud,<br />

and the company would make no<br />

apology for that, sound is a large<br />

part of their appeal.<br />

The cars I’m talking about are<br />

the performance models, those<br />

with AMG badging and those<br />

with high performance engines,<br />

there are too many to list individually,<br />

but almost all of those have<br />

the 63 S engine, the 4-litre V8 that<br />

characterises the AMG range is<br />

especially loud and I would hate it<br />

if that beautiful exhaust note was<br />

ever stifled.<br />

The latest car to come my way<br />

with that twin-turbocharged V8<br />

was the C 63 S estate, or station<br />

wagon as we have come to know<br />

them down under.<br />

It’s fair to say I was in heaven<br />

with this car, I love wagons and,<br />

of course, that howling V8 up<br />

front is something absolutely<br />

special.<br />

Mercedes-Benz rates the<br />

quad-camshaft unit with a<br />

massive 375kW and a staggering<br />

700Nm of torque, the latter<br />

available all of the way from<br />

2000 to 4500rpm. Hence the C<br />

63 S is a vibrant, lusty vehicle, it<br />

will lunge to 100kmh in 4.1sec<br />

and will complete an 80km/h to<br />

120km/h overtaking manoeuvre<br />

in 3.8sec. They are quick figures<br />

and ones which will satisfy the<br />

sports car buyer immensely. Such<br />

is the strength of the engine, the<br />

traction control network is challenged,<br />

under hard acceleration<br />

you can hear the rear tyres chirping<br />

as they eke grip.<br />

Yes, the C 63 S estate drives<br />

through a nine-speed transmission<br />

to the rear wheels only, to my<br />

way of thinking that’s also a benefit,<br />

while I like the 4Matic system<br />

that is fitted to other Mercedes-<br />

Benz product, the weight saving<br />

and pure driving feel you get<br />

through rear-wheel-drive only is<br />

something rather special.<br />

Of course, the driveline is engineered<br />

for safety and there is little<br />

chance of rear-end breakaway, but<br />

MERCEDES-BENZ AMG C 63 S: Performance car with handy<br />

wagon section.<br />

if you are tackling the back roads<br />

at speed, you can ask the<br />

C 63 S to be a little playful.<br />

Time was a little against me<br />

during testing so I didn’t get all<br />

of the way to the Lake Coleridge<br />

Village, that road is my favourite<br />

for cars of this ilk, but I did get to<br />

Terrace Downs and I was thrilled<br />

with the zest and vibrancy of the<br />

engine, and chassis package.<br />

In terms of sound, there is a<br />

button which amplifies exhaust<br />

tone and I had that activated all of<br />

the time, there’s a bark out of the<br />

pipes when the gears change up<br />

and it is absolutely tantalising.<br />

There are also a multitude of<br />

drive modes and they can be<br />

individually tailored, or you can<br />

use either of the many pre-programmed<br />

settings.<br />

You won’t get away with driving<br />

the V8 C-Class quickly without<br />

• Price – Mercedes-Benz<br />

AMG C 63 S estate,<br />

$172,700<br />

• Dimensions – Length,<br />

4702mm; width, 1810mm;<br />

height, 1457mm<br />

• Configuration – V8,<br />

rear-wheel-drive, 3982cc,<br />

375kW, 700Nm, ninespeed<br />

automatic.<br />

• Performance –<br />

0-100km/h, 4.1sec<br />

• Fuel usage – 10.7l/100km<br />

noticing a corresponding effect<br />

on fuel use, after my long highway<br />

burst, the readout was showing<br />

a 12.9- litre per 100km (22mpg)<br />

fuel burn, that’s somewhat higher<br />

than Mercedes-Benz’s combined<br />

cycle claim of 10.7l/100km<br />

(<strong>27</strong>mpg), but if that target is<br />

achievable then it deserves<br />

credit. For the record, on an easy<br />

100km/h cruise the dash panel<br />

readout sits at 7l/100km (40mpg),<br />

the engine largely unstressed at<br />

1400rpm.<br />

Personally, I was too preoccupied<br />

having fun in the estate<br />

to concentrate too much on<br />

economy, it’s an absolute blast to<br />

drive, everything it does it does so<br />

competently.<br />

I guess at $172,700 you would<br />

want that to be the case, but you<br />

do get a lot of car for the money<br />

and it is fully loaded with everything<br />

for comfort, convenience<br />

and safety.<br />

The C-Class isn’t big in statute<br />

but it is a capable five-seater, and<br />

in estate form it adds just that little<br />

bit of practicality, the load space<br />

will take in up to 490-litres and<br />

that easily translates into a multitude<br />

of cargo carrying options.<br />

The face of motoring is changing<br />

rapidly, there’s a global ground<br />

swell of rhetoric calling for greater<br />

emphasis on alternative fuels as<br />

opposed to the oil we pump out of<br />

the ground - electric and hydrogen-based<br />

alternatives are fast<br />

becoming the buzz words.<br />

That being the case, if there are<br />

buyers out there like me, who like<br />

the pumping sound that is only<br />

available from V8 power, then<br />

now is the time to buy. I’ll never<br />

be able to afford one, but I am<br />

certainly delighted for those who<br />

can find their way into one of<br />

the greatest driving experiences<br />

available in the market today.
