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 />
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<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 />

Canterbury which could see Selwyn<br />

mean the current Port Hills<br />
electorate would be re-named Banks<br />
Peninsula.

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 />
By-election preparations<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 />
now been forward to city<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 />

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 />

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 />

columns folder on my<br />
computer to write this, a<br />
number stuck out from the<br />
bottom of the folder – fifty<br />

reading right now, it has<br />
jumped up to the big 52 – a<br />
full year of columns.<br />

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

teeth (well,<br />
one of us did)<br />

changed so<br />
much over<br />
that time, in so<br />
many wonderful<br />
ways.<br />
The very<br />
first Vittoria<br />

about her first steps – and<br />
rueing that they were away<br />
from me.<br />
She definitely still uses<br />
her legs to power herself<br />
away from me (mostly with<br />
me trailing behind going<br />

heck’’), but she’s way faster<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 />
as watching her<br />
try to cuddle<br />

love of dancing<br />
and music or<br />
the beginnings<br />
of her playing<br />

Last week she took her favourite<br />
little soft-toy buddy<br />

sounds.<br />

good times too. Like her<br />

I’ve also learned how<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 />

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.
