Teen cycling length of NZ for grandad<br />

HUGE EFFORT: William Hickford in Wellington, halfway through riding the length of the country to raise money for<br />

Alzheimer’s New Zealand. ​<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

LYTTELTON teenager William<br />

Hickford is following in the<br />

footsteps of his grandfather<br />

by cycling the length of New<br />

Zealand.<br />

The 17-year-old is halfway<br />

through his estimated 3000km<br />

journey from Cape Reinga to<br />

Bluff to raise money and awareness<br />

for dementia.<br />

As of yesterday $6370 had<br />

been raised.<br />

William’s grandad Roy Pemberton<br />

cycled the length of New<br />

Zealand to raise money for St<br />

John New Zealand seven years<br />

ago.<br />

And the reason William is<br />

doing his ride for dementia is<br />

because his grandfather suffers<br />

from it.<br />

Mr Pemberton has gone into<br />

permanent care at Windsorcare<br />

Dementia Unit after a “heartbreaking<br />

decision” by his<br />

family.<br />

William will be joined by his<br />

friend, Holly Ffowcs Williams<br />

on the South Island leg of the<br />

ride.<br />

They have started a Givealittle<br />

page aiming to raise $10,000 for<br />

Alzheimer’s New Zealand and<br />

are calling themselves Team<br />

Wolly. • Turn to page 5<br />

Neighbours’<br />

quick work<br />

saves house<br />

from fire<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

IT PAYS to have good neighbours.<br />

Without them, Trevor and Dulcie<br />

Turner’s Charteris <strong>Bay</strong> home<br />

would have gone up in flames<br />

when an electrical meter box<br />

sparked a fire in their garage.<br />

They were on holiday in Twizel<br />

when they recieved<br />

the news their<br />

Ngaio Lane property<br />

had been saved<br />

thanks to the alertness<br />

of neighbours.<br />

Said Mr Turner:<br />

“It’s a goosebumpy<br />

sort of feeling. A<br />

Trevor<br />

Turner<br />

complete and utter disaster was<br />

prevented by some really good<br />

teamwork by fire brigades and<br />

neighbours.”<br />

After hearing smoke alarms<br />

going off next door, Georgia<br />

Brown went to check on the<br />

property and discovered smoke<br />

coming from the garage about<br />

4.30pm on December 27.<br />

She then rushed to another<br />

neighbour’s house, who phoned<br />

111.<br />

A fast response from Diamond<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> and Governors <strong>Bay</strong> fire<br />

crews meant the blaze was able<br />

to be contained to the garage and<br />

extinguished.<br />

get in touch<br />

from the editor’s desk<br />

A GREAT effort is unfolding from young<br />

Lyttelton resident William Hickford (see<br />

page 1).<br />

The 17-year-old is cycling the length of<br />

New Zealand to raise money and awareness<br />

for dementia.<br />

As of yesterday he had raised just over $6000 of his $10,000<br />

target.<br />

William has taken up the dementia cause because his<br />

grandfather Roy Pemberton suffers from it.<br />

Roy himself cycled the length of New Zealand seven years ago<br />

to raise money for St John.<br />

William was in Wellington yesterday where his bike was<br />

undergoing running repairs before catching the ferry to Picton.<br />

He plans to be in Bluff by <strong>January</strong> 23.<br />

I suspect he’ll reach his fundraising goal, but I hope he gets a<br />

strong northerly on his cycle south.<br />

Independent candidates go<br />

head to head in by-election<br />

• By Jess Gibson<br />

Dawn Sutton ​<br />

Scott Winter<br />

A CHURCH <strong>Bay</strong> and<br />

Teddington resident are vying<br />

for a position on the Banks<br />

Peninsula Community Board.<br />

Dawn Sutton and Scott Winter<br />

will both run as independents<br />

in a by-election to fill the Mt<br />

Herbert Community Subdivision<br />

seat on February 18.<br />

An extraordinary vacancy<br />

arose for one of two Mt Herbert<br />

Community Subdivision seats<br />

after it failed to attract enough<br />

candidates in October’s elections.<br />

Ms Sutton, of Church <strong>Bay</strong>,<br />

wants to help deliver what people<br />

in the area want and need – in<br />

particular, roading and maintaining<br />

and improving councilowned<br />

properties and facilities.<br />

The registered nurse of almost<br />

40 years believes her people<br />

skills and familiarity with a busy<br />

lifestyle gives her the experience<br />

required to fill the role.<br />

“I like busy. It keeps me interested<br />

and I like being part of the<br />

community, I always have.”<br />

Mr Winter, of Teddington,<br />

said he put his hand up because<br />

he was sick of “sitting on the<br />

sidelines” looking in on the communities’<br />

issues.<br />

The building company owner<br />

said he wants to tackle roading<br />

maintenance, infrastructure and<br />

bringing public amenities up to<br />

scratch at places like wharves<br />

and the Godley House site.<br />

Low pay has been cited<br />

as one of the reasons five<br />

former board members<br />

chose not to stand after<br />

the last term.<br />

Community board<br />

members receive $9864<br />

and the chairperson<br />

$19,729. As members<br />

work about 20 hours a<br />

week, they would receive<br />

roughly $120 a week after<br />

tax.<br />

However, both Ms Sutton and<br />

Mr Winter said pay did not factor<br />

into their decision to run for<br />

the position.<br />

Said Mr Winter: “If 20 hours<br />

is what it takes to speak on behalf<br />

of the people and mediate with<br />

PHOTO: GETTY IMAGES<br />

the council, that’s what I’ll put<br />

in.”<br />

Voting will open on <strong>January</strong><br />

27 and close at noon on February<br />

18. A first past the post electoral<br />

system will be used to determine<br />

the successful candidate.<br />

Residents within the subdivision<br />

area who are not on the<br />

electoral roll can enrol by phoning<br />

<strong>08</strong>00 36 76 56, visiting www.<br />

vote.nz or obtaining enrolment<br />

forms at post shops or city<br />

council libraries up until 4pm on<br />

February 17.<br />

Estuary trust volunteers transform wetlands<br />

IN 20 YEARS, an industrial<br />

plot of land in Ferrymead has<br />

been transformed into a reserve<br />

teeming with native bush and<br />

wildlife.<br />

Charlesworth Reserve and<br />

Wetland is one of the projects<br />

spearheaded by the Avon-Heathcote<br />

Estuary Ihutai Trust.<br />

Trust chairman Kit Doudney<br />

said the group has come a long<br />

way since forming almost two<br />

decades ago.<br />

“Charlesworth Reserve is a<br />

great example of how an entire<br />

landscape has been transformed<br />

and returned to its natural state,”<br />

he said.<br />

“The trust and its volunteers<br />

have put so much work and effort<br />

into maintaining and enhancing<br />

the land. By planting native bush<br />

and trees we have seen birdlife<br />

return and thrive in that area.”<br />

The trust was formed in 2002<br />

with support from the city council,<br />

Environment Canterbury and<br />

Ngai Tahu.<br />

Its aim is to enhance and<br />

sustain the Avon-Heathcote<br />

Estuary area by creating healthy<br />

eco-systems, protecting natural<br />

resources, monitoring and maintaining<br />

land, and connecting the<br />

community.<br />

The trust is funded by Rātā<br />

Foundation, and chief executive<br />

Leighton Evans said he is “in<br />

awe” of the work staff and volunteers<br />

have done.<br />

“It’s incredible to see how much<br />

work and effort has been put in<br />

FLOURISHING: The Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust chairman Kit Doudney said volunteers<br />

have done a great amount of work to transform the surrounding wetlands.<br />

by the trust and the community<br />

to bring these wetlands back to<br />

life,” he said.<br />

“Volunteers are the backbone<br />

of the community sector and<br />

have been instrumental in<br />

ensuring the Ihutai project and<br />

its wetland remain an environmental<br />

asset to Christchurch for<br />

generations to enjoy.”<br />

Ihutai also works strategically<br />

to translate objectives into practical<br />

outcomes and leveraging<br />

action from outside the group to<br />

support those objectives.<br />

Dr Doudney said involving and<br />

engaging with the community is<br />

a key part of how the trust works.<br />

“We co-ordinate and facilitate<br />

a range of different meetings and<br />

education opportunities with the<br />

community.”<br />

The trust has a number of<br />

events and working bees which<br />

draw volunteers from across the<br />

city.<br />

“We have the ‘mother of all<br />

clean-ups’ event, now in its fifth<br />

year, where on mother’s day<br />

weekend up to 1200 volunteers,<br />

representing 36 community<br />

groups, collect litter from our<br />

waterways.”<br />

This year, the estuary was<br />

awarded the status of being a<br />

wetland of ‘international significance’.<br />

“We received the award in<br />

October from the East Asia-<br />

Australasian Flyway Network,<br />

based in Korea.”<br />

BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY<br />

Tanya<br />

Jenkins is<br />

the manager<br />

of the Avon-<br />

Heathcote<br />

Estuary<br />

Ihutai Trust, a non-profit<br />

organisation formed in<br />

2002 to protect one of New<br />

Zealand’s most important<br />

coastal wetlands. Each<br />

week she introduces a new<br />

bird found in the estuary.<br />

Her column aims to raise<br />

the understanding of the<br />

values and uniqueness of<br />

the area.<br />

IT’S HARD to miss the skinny, black<br />

and white pied stilt on their long, bright<br />

orange legs.<br />

They are often seen in small groups but<br />

they also quite like the company of the<br />

godwit and the oystercatchers and are<br />

often seen roosting alongside those birds.<br />

They are extremely shy and nervous<br />

birds and when approached, even at a fair<br />

distance, fly away.<br />

They like to eat insects and worms<br />

while wading in shallow water or<br />

swampy Linwood paddocks utilising<br />

their long legs to do so.<br />

Nests are near water or even surrounded<br />

by water and are made by piling<br />

up mud a few centimetres high.<br />

When they cannot see you nearby the<br />

nest (use binoculars and patience at a safe<br />

distance) you may be lucky enough to<br />

see adults with the cutest little fluffy grey<br />

chicks, on their comparatively ridiculously<br />

long legs, learning how to catch<br />

food themselves.<br />

How can we help these, and all other<br />

birds? Keep dogs on the lead when<br />

walking near the estuary and pick up<br />

litter.<br />

Shepherd steering A&P show<br />

• By David Hill<br />

TANIA KIELY admits to being<br />

‘‘a bit daunted’’ as she looks<br />

ahead to the Duvauchelle A&P<br />

Show on Saturday.<br />

The Banks Peninsula shepherd<br />

has been elected president<br />

ahead of the annual show in the<br />

in what is likely to be a two-year<br />

term.<br />

‘‘I’m feeling a bit of trepidation,<br />

but I’ve got a good team<br />

around me,’’ she said.<br />

‘‘Just knowing that you’re in<br />

charge is a bit daunting. Last<br />

year we had our 150th anniversary<br />

show so it was a big show,<br />

but this year is a routine show.’’<br />

Ms Kiely said this year the<br />

committee had a Royal Agricultural<br />

Society medal to present<br />

in the shearing section, which is<br />

one of the feature sections along<br />

with the horse section.<br />

A highlight of the show is<br />

the presentation of the Banks<br />

Peninsula Appreciation Award<br />

immediately after the grand<br />

parade. Nominations have just<br />

closed.<br />

Mayor Lianne Dalziel, Deputy<br />

Mayor Andrew Turner and<br />

Selwyn MP Amy Adams have<br />

all been invited to the show and<br />

to join the grand parade, Ms<br />

Kiely said.<br />

• From page 1<br />

Said William: “Since he [Mr<br />

Pemberton] got diagnosed with<br />

dementia this year, I thought I<br />

just wanted to help support him<br />

and what our family’s going<br />

through because it’s quite a tough<br />

time so I just wanted to give back<br />

to him by raising funds for Alzheimer’s<br />

New Zealand.”<br />

William started his ride on December<br />

28 and has biked about<br />

100km a day, with the aim of<br />

reaching the bottom of the South<br />

Island on <strong>January</strong> 23.<br />

Holly was sceduled to meet<br />

William in Picton after his ferry<br />

ride from Wellington yesterday<br />

and they will ride from Picton to<br />

the finish line together.<br />

‘I’m feeling a bit of<br />

trepidation, but I’ve got a<br />

good team around me’<br />

– Tania Kiely<br />

‘‘It’s a good opportunity to<br />

recognise what they do for the<br />

community and a chance for<br />

them to meet and greet.’’<br />

Ms Kiely said Duvauchelle<br />

had a reputation for having the<br />

most scenic showgrounds in the<br />

country, with the grounds looking<br />

out on the Akaroa <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />

‘‘The campers like it here.<br />

They come and spend the week<br />

here, use the grounds to train<br />

their horses and walk them<br />

down to the beach and then<br />

carry on to the Little River<br />

Show the following week.’’<br />

Ms Kiely has a 20ha block<br />

where she has a small flock of<br />

ewes and finishes lambs and a<br />

few cattle.<br />

She works casually as a shepherd<br />

for various farmers around<br />

the eastern bays, Wainui and<br />

Little River.<br />

‘‘I get to see most of the<br />

peninsula . . . and it’s good<br />

to catch up with people and<br />

most of them are on the show<br />

committee.’’<br />

– Central Rural Life<br />

Holly said she was inspired<br />

to join William on part of his<br />

journey after seeing the effects of<br />

Alzheimer’s and dementia firsthand<br />

in a volunteer role she does.<br />

“In the past few years, I’ve been<br />

a volunteer at a Nurse Maude<br />

Hospice Shop in Christchurch<br />

and we get a lot of customers who<br />

are from lots of different retirement<br />

villages across Christchurch<br />

and a few have come in with<br />

family members that have had<br />

dementia and Alzheimer’s, so it’s<br />

just been really heartbreaking to<br />

see, she said.<br />

“I think putting my love<br />

cycling towards something like<br />

this, it’s the way I can [help].”<br />

Holly said the ride will be hard<br />

DAUNTING: Tania Kiely is preparing for Saturday’s<br />

Duvauchelle A&P Show.<br />

work but the cause she and William<br />

are riding for will make it<br />

worth it.<br />

“The most of done in one day<br />

has been about 112km and some<br />

days we’re doing at least 100km<br />

with a good radical climb, so it’s<br />

FUNDRAISER: William<br />

Hickford is cycling across the<br />

country to raise money for<br />

Alzheimer’s New Zealand and<br />

people like his grandad,<br />

Roy Pemberton.<br />

going to be really mentally challenging<br />

but I think you’ve got to<br />

remember why you’re doing it.”<br />

William said his grandad and<br />

granny Hilda Pemberton are<br />

appreciative of what he is setting<br />

out to do.<br />

Smoke alarms<br />

alerted<br />

neighbours<br />

• From page 1<br />

Mr and Mrs Turner lost a motorcycle,<br />

whiteware and tools, among<br />

other items.<br />

“Had we not put new alarms into<br />

the garage, the fire definitely would<br />

have tracked its way into the house<br />

and probably have doubled in size<br />

within 30 minutes.”<br />

Mr Turner said knowing neighbours<br />

“absolutely” helped the situation.<br />

“We are lucky.”<br />

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

Brigade chief fire officer Bob Palmer<br />

said the incident was a good example<br />

of how working smoke alarms<br />

and neighbours keeping an eye on<br />

each other’s property can make a<br />

big difference.<br />

“Smoke alarms don’t only save<br />

people in occupied houses but are<br />

loud enough to alert neighbours<br />

as well. Early alerting like this gets<br />

us there in time to make a huge<br />

difference to the outcome.”<br />

Grandad inspires teen to raise funds for Alzheimer’s<br />

“My granny’s very proud of me<br />

obviously trying to help support<br />

him [Mr Pemberton] as much as<br />

possible. My grandad’s just pretty<br />

happy that I’m riding a road bike<br />

instead of a mountain bike. He’s<br />

always being trying to convert<br />

me to road bikes so he’s quite<br />

stoked that I’m doing it on a road<br />

bike for him.”<br />

William said what he is doing<br />

would also not be possible without<br />

support from his mum and<br />

dad Kim and Jon Hickford, who<br />

have helped organise the ride.<br />

INVOLVED: Lyttelton children get busy painting the steps at the<br />

museum site on Oxford St.<br />

Children brighten<br />

up museum site<br />

SEA CREATURES,<br />

boats and birds painted<br />

by Lyttelton children<br />

have helped brighten up<br />

the steps at the museum<br />

site.<br />

Artist Amber Moke<br />

was commissioned by<br />

the Lyttelton Historical<br />

Museum Society to<br />

design a mural full of<br />

colour based on the<br />

natural world at 33 London St<br />

last month.<br />

She chose to invite about 25<br />

children to draw “anything to do<br />

with water” on the bottom two<br />

steps to help make the museum<br />

site full of life.<br />

Now, the community can<br />

Amber Moke<br />

enjoy the artwork while<br />

the society raises the<br />

money to build a new<br />

museum.<br />

The former museum<br />

building was home<br />

to a range of the harbour’s<br />

history since<br />

1968, however, it was<br />

demolished following<br />

damage from the Canterbury<br />

earthquakes.<br />

An extensive collection was<br />

rescued during a series of daring<br />

emergency recovery operations<br />

by the Lyttelton Volunteer Fire<br />

Brigade and staff from the Air<br />

Force Museum of New Zealand<br />

(AFMNZ) and has been safely<br />

stored away.<br />

SIX SUMNER Running Club<br />

athletes will compete at the South<br />

Island Colgate Games next week<br />

at Nga Puna Wai Sports Hub.<br />

The three-day event will see<br />

more than 900 seven-to-14-yearold<br />

athletes compete from <strong>January</strong><br />

17 to 19.<br />

Sumner junior co-coaches Ann<br />

Wells and Marty Lukes will send<br />

a small but talented team to the<br />

event, including four eight-yearolds.<br />

“When they are that young, we<br />

just tell them to go out there and<br />

run fast and enjoy themselves,”<br />

Wells said.<br />

She said 14-year-old track<br />

walker Jonah Cropp will be a<br />

favourite in the 14th grade 1600m<br />

track walk event. Jonah won the<br />

under-18 category at the Canterbury<br />

road championships at<br />

Bottle Lake Forest in August.<br />

Ten-year-old Miriam Lemon<br />

will focus on the 400m, 800m,<br />

1500m and high jump events after<br />

switching her focus from cross<br />

country to compete on the track.<br />

It is the first time Christchurch<br />

has hosted the event since 20<strong>08</strong>.<br />

Wells said it was great to see the<br />

event back in Christchurch.<br />

“This is like a homecoming. My<br />

kids competed without a track<br />

like this so to host this event is<br />

a big milestone for athletics in<br />

Canterbury.”<br />

Christchurch will have 331 athletes<br />

competing with Christchurch<br />

Avon Athletic Club sending<br />

the most athletes in the city (96).<br />

More than 980 athletes from<br />

66 clubs will be competing across<br />

the three days.<br />

•Former <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News journalist Matt Salmons has become a stayat-home<br />

Biscuits, torn paper<br />

and new decades<br />

WOWEE, a whole new<br />

decade. A whole new year.<br />

And one where we can<br />

all clearly see the future . . .<br />

because it’s <strong>2020</strong>.<br />

Get it? Come on, it’s<br />

begging for awful dad<br />

jokes. Happy New Year<br />

everybody, here’s to it<br />

bringing us all happiness,<br />

adventure and new<br />

experiences.<br />

This week I’ll run you<br />

through a couple of my<br />

highlights of Vittoria’s<br />

second Christmas.<br />

On Christmas Eve I got<br />

brave and baked biscuits<br />

with her for the first time.<br />

I even let her cut them into<br />

Christmas shapes with my<br />

new moulds, something<br />

she took to like a duck<br />

cutting water.<br />

She was more than happy<br />

to cooperate and stir or<br />

mix when needed for the<br />

actual biscuit part of the<br />

task, which was one of<br />

those amazingly affirming<br />

parenting moments. It felt<br />

like we were a real team.<br />

That feeling even lasted<br />

into the icing, only slipping<br />

a little as she continously<br />

dipped her finger into<br />

the sugary mixture to eat<br />

it while simultaniously<br />

pouring the majority of<br />

it onto one heart shaped<br />

bikkie.<br />

And it completely<br />

disappeared later while<br />

Laura and I prepped for<br />

our traditional family<br />

Christmas Eve dinner,<br />

although Vittoria was<br />

clearly just tired and<br />

feeling left out. She kind of<br />

disolved into a mix of over<br />

excited running around<br />

the kitchen, or crying<br />

and wanting to be picked<br />

up while my hands were<br />

covered in prawn juice.<br />

However, I think the<br />

yuletide joy had really<br />

clicked for Vittoria<br />

earlier in the day, when our<br />

amazing neighbour came<br />

over to spoil her with the<br />

gift of her first bicycle.<br />

Not only was it a large<br />

box covered in bright paper<br />

she could tear open, but<br />

there was something for<br />

her inside. Something she<br />

never knew she wanted<br />

so much, but now she was<br />

literally bringing me tools<br />

and bike bits in an effort<br />

for me to build it faster<br />

so she could sit on it and<br />

pretend to ride it.<br />

While that definitely<br />

whetted her appetite for<br />

tearing open gifts, she<br />

managed to contain herself<br />

when we arrived at my<br />

mum’s in Waikuku for<br />

Christmas Day lunch.<br />

VITTORIA<br />

& Matt<br />

BAKING: Big smiles while mixing the biscuit<br />

dough.<br />

She only made one<br />

“ooooo” sound as she<br />

passed the presents under<br />

the tree on the way in and<br />

didn’t try to take things<br />

into her own hands before<br />

the official opening time<br />

started, once people could<br />

move again after lunch.<br />

With her grandad very<br />

obediently working as<br />

torn paper holder, Vittoria<br />

boldly tore through<br />

unwrapping her gifts with<br />

100 times more interest<br />

than she had shown on her<br />

first Christmas.<br />

I’m sure she’ll be<br />

even more excited next<br />

Christmas. Just as I’m sure<br />

that that will be just one<br />

of the many adventures<br />

awaiting us this year.<br />

FIVE YOUNG sailors from<br />

Lyttelton’s Naval Point Yacht<br />

Club have their sights set on<br />

victory at the CRC <strong>Bay</strong> of<br />

Islands Sailing Week later this<br />

month.<br />

The teenage crew of Isaac<br />

Armstrong, Rebecca Lee,<br />

Claude Southwick, Thomas<br />

Pirker, and Mitchell Rennie,<br />

will compete as a team at New<br />

Zealand’s biggest keelboat<br />

regatta from <strong>January</strong> 21 to 24.<br />

The team, led by 18-year-old<br />

Armstrong, are aiming to win<br />

the Young 88 division. They<br />

will compete in a borrowed<br />

boat which none of them have<br />

sailed before, and their interisland<br />

campaign is paid for entirely<br />

by their own fundraising<br />

efforts and sponsorship.<br />

Although they will be going<br />

up against the largest fleet<br />

of Young 88 class yachts the<br />

regatta has seen in its 18-year<br />

history, he says his team have<br />

what it takes to win.<br />

“We’ve got a good fleet and<br />

lots of rock stars in the fleet as<br />

well,’’ said Armstrong.<br />

“It’ll be a tough ask, but I<br />

reckon we can surprise a few<br />

people.”<br />

Armstrong is no stranger<br />

CONFIDENT: Naval Point Yacht Club sailors Isaac Armstrong, Rebecca Lee, Claude<br />

Southwick, Thomas Pirker and Mitchell Rennie are aiming to win the Young 88 division at<br />

CRC <strong>Bay</strong> of Islands Sailing Week.<br />

to the podium, with wins in<br />

each of the previous three<br />

years he has sailed in the event,<br />

although none yet as skipper.<br />

In addition, four of his five<br />

crew recently won the Elliott<br />

6 South Island Youth championships,<br />

and says they are<br />

keen to keep up the winning<br />

performance.<br />

He said they also want to send<br />

a message to other youth sailors<br />

that anything is possible.<br />

Running a campaign on a<br />

shoestring budget, and raising<br />

funds to cover the cost by doing<br />

odd jobs on other people’s<br />

boats, is all part of the team’s<br />

efforts to show other young<br />

sailors what they can achieve<br />

with a bit of effort.<br />

Armstrong said many young<br />

sailors drop out of the sport<br />

after school, and he’s keen to<br />

show sailors his age there are<br />

other pathways available that<br />

could keep them interested in<br />

the sport.<br />

The team will arrive in<br />

Auckland just days before the<br />

regatta to collect their yacht<br />

called Undercover.<br />

The Young 88 was loaned<br />

to them for the regatta by<br />

Akaroa man Jonny Bell, who<br />

Armstrong said didn’t take<br />

much convincing to get behind<br />

the campaign and support the<br />

local sailors.

Wine<br />

• By Mark Henderson<br />

I MUST admit to having<br />

been caught out once again<br />

this year, as the festive<br />

season came rushing<br />

headlong towards me,<br />

though I’m certain I’m not<br />

the only one in that boat.<br />

It all seemed so far away,<br />

then suddenly . . . it’s not.<br />

What to feature? Recent<br />

warmer weather has had<br />

me reaching for riesling.<br />

So be it.<br />

Canto Dry Riesling<br />

Price: $37<br />

Rating: Excellent<br />

Smoke and struck match,<br />

white flowers, mandarin<br />

and orange, some burnt<br />

toast with time. This is a<br />

powerfully expressed style,<br />

textural, viscous with spice,<br />

dry honey and beeswax<br />

leading, notes of lime and<br />

tobacco also appearing. As<br />

always, a fascinating wine<br />

built on complexity, weight<br />

and richness.<br />

A wine to contemplate,<br />

and probably best with<br />

food.<br />

Price: $30<br />

Rating: Excellent to<br />

outstanding<br />

Alluring nose, a waft<br />

of struck match, musk,<br />

mandarin, white flowers<br />

and toast. The palate<br />

leads with honey, but the<br />

acidity whips this into<br />

shape, offering up lime and<br />

orange citrus as the wine<br />

flows to a musk and honey<br />

accented, yet relatively dry<br />

finish. Delightful texture,<br />

richness, complexity and<br />

real interest here with<br />

lovely freshness on the<br />

close.<br />

Delicious and very<br />

CONTINUING EDUCATION<br />

Trade skills help<br />

solo dad build a<br />

better future<br />

Newly qualified carpenter Tim Crawford<br />

hopes his experience of overcoming<br />

challenges and finding a new direction in<br />

life will inspire others to do the same.<br />

In 2006, while he was working as a gym<br />

instructor and personal trainer, Tim took<br />

full custody of his two children. Becoming<br />

a solo parent meant he had to quit his job<br />

and go on the domestic purposes benefit.<br />

He remained on the DPB for seven years<br />

while raising his kids, but never lost his<br />

motivation or desire to get back to work.<br />

He studied business, but when that didn’t<br />

lead to work, he got a job as a laundry<br />

driver.<br />

“The driving job wasn’t challenging me<br />

or helping me reach my potential,” he says.<br />

“So in 2015 I got a new job as a builder’s<br />

labourer. That company saw my potential<br />

and they offered me an apprenticeship<br />

which I grabbed with both hands.”<br />

As part of his apprenticeship, and in<br />

order to become qualified in the trade,<br />

Tim studied a National Certificate in<br />

Carpentry at Ara Institute of Canterbury.<br />

“It was awesome, even better than I’d<br />

expected,” he says. “I was treated like I<br />

was important and not just a number, and<br />

the staff went out of their way to help me<br />

succeed. I was supported and guided all<br />

the way.”<br />

Tim says the classroom environment at<br />

PAGE 13<br />

Ara was interactive and fun. “It was easy to<br />

ask questions and the course information<br />

was clear and concise with easy-to-follow<br />

book work and presentations.”<br />

Tim says although he didn’t do well at<br />

school, he’s made up for it at Ara. “I love<br />

to learn and Ara made it easy for me to do<br />

so. My story of getting off the benefit and<br />

at the same time looking after my children<br />

and running a household is something<br />

I’m really proud of. I hope it will inspire<br />

others who are in the same position I was,<br />

especially as an adult apprentice. I’m a<br />

better, happier person for it and some of<br />

my best moments in life were spent in the<br />

classrooms at Ara.”<br />

This is ‘‘together’’ and<br />

nicely integrated, the nose<br />

botrytis hints. Power<br />

and richness without<br />

weight, lovely balance<br />

to a long and appealing<br />

close lifted by a whisper of<br />

aniseed, and zestiness.<br />

Simply wonderful.<br />

textural front palate. Good<br />

fruit weight and flow<br />

good balance, finishing just<br />

very easy drinking for<br />

those summer evenings.<br />

High comfort levels in Mitsubishi ASX<br />

Motoring<br />

Ross Kiddie<br />

YOU SURE know you’re hurting<br />

when you’ve got a painful back.<br />

Mine has been bugging me<br />

for a few weeks now, and it’s<br />

brought to my attention how<br />

difficult it is getting in and out<br />

of some cars, yet highlights how<br />

easy it is to do the same in a sport<br />

utility vehicle.<br />

I’ve just driven two Mitsubishi<br />

SUVs, one after the other,<br />

an Outlander and ASX. I felt<br />

comfortable in both and the seat<br />

height made for easy entry and<br />

egress.<br />

On top of that, the ride the<br />

modern SUV provides doesn’t<br />

tax the body, there is plenty of<br />

suspension movement, and there<br />

is an element of suppleness within<br />

the spring and damper rates that<br />

easily cushions the hits from road<br />

ripples, bumps and ruts.<br />

This evaluation focuses on<br />

the ASX, a Lancer-based midsize<br />

SUV that has been with<br />

Mitsubishi since 2011. Meaning<br />

active smart crossover, the<br />

ASX has undergone a raft of<br />

changes throughout its lifecycle<br />

and I’m pleased to report that<br />

the upgrades and refinements<br />

over the years easily make it a<br />

tempting proposition in today’s<br />

market.<br />

For <strong>2020</strong> the ASX had a fairly<br />

hefty makeover; well, in that<br />

context it has had a strong refresh<br />

up front, the frontal area now<br />

has a bold, edgy design which<br />

sure captures attention, it is a<br />

departure from the soft, curvy<br />

lines of its predecessor.<br />

The test car was painted a nice<br />

new colour – sunshine orange –<br />

which also aroused favourable<br />

comment. The upgrade doesn’t<br />

finish there either, there are<br />

cosmetic changes inside, notably<br />

the inclusion of a larger screen<br />

which makes navigating the<br />

vehicle’s functions just that much<br />

easier.<br />

In terms of mechanical<br />

changes, the ASX has changed<br />

direction slightly. No longer is<br />

there a four-wheel-drive model,<br />

all variants are front-drive only<br />

and all are powered by a petrol<br />

engine – gone is the diesel option.<br />

Mitsubishi also state that for<br />

buyers who want an SUV with<br />

four-wheel-drive, its Eclipse<br />

Cross captures that part of the<br />

market.<br />

The ASX range starts at<br />

$29,990, and ends at $41,090 for<br />

the 2.4-litre VRX as evaluated. It’s<br />

important to note that there are<br />

two entry-level models and both<br />

are 2-litre powered.<br />

However, the 2360cc unit<br />

develops 123kW and 222Nm,<br />

and is paired to a six-step<br />

MITSUBISHI ASX: Facelift for <strong>2020</strong>.<br />

continuously variable automatic.<br />

These power and torque outputs<br />

are traditional, they arrive tall<br />

in the rev band at 6000rpm<br />

and 4100rpm respectively;<br />

nevertheless, when you have the<br />

benefit of CVT there is a constant<br />

point of gearing which instantly<br />

meets throttle request.<br />

The ASX feels lively and will<br />

cut out a standstill to 100km/h<br />

time in 9.2sec, it’s also quite smart<br />

on a highway overtake, 5.5sec to<br />

make 120km/h from 80km/h is<br />

about the norm for a vehicle such<br />

as this.<br />

I took the test car inland<br />

following the course of the<br />

Waimakariri River and home<br />

through Darfield and Burnham.<br />

It cruises quietly at highway speed<br />

and affords a smooth ride.<br />

Benefitting from the original<br />

four-wheel-drive chassis<br />

engineering, the ASX is sprung<br />

on a fully independent front<br />

strut/rear multiple link system.<br />

While the rear end doesn’t carry<br />

driveshafts any more, the set-up is<br />

compliant and as I’ve alluded to it<br />

is dampened only moderately so<br />

that the occupants benefit from a<br />

smooth, controlled ride.<br />

I pointed the test car at a<br />

couple of tricky corners along<br />

my test route, it turns nicely and<br />

feeds positive information to the<br />

steering wheel as to how the tyres<br />

react under pressure.<br />

Even without four-wheel-drive<br />

there is still the feel that grip<br />

levels are elevated, while balance<br />

is fully retained. I like the way<br />

the ASX drives, it’s no sports car<br />

but it does have performance and<br />

handling ability which is far in<br />

excess of its purpose.<br />

In terms of fuel use, Mitsubishi<br />

has done well to lean out the<br />

engine. As I remarked previously,<br />

it has been around for some time,<br />

but it is a fuel miser and carries<br />

• Price – Mitsubishi ASX<br />

VRX, $40,090<br />

• Dimensions – Length,<br />

4365mm; width, 1810mm;<br />

height, 1640mm<br />

• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />

front-wheeldrive,<br />

2360cc, 123kW,<br />

222Nm, continuously<br />

variable automatic.<br />

• Performance –<br />

0-100km/h, 9.2sec<br />

• Fuel usage – 7.9l/100km<br />

a 7.9-litre per 100km (36mpg)<br />

combined cycle claim.<br />

The fuel usage readout was<br />

constantly listing at around<br />

8.4l/100km (33mpg) during<br />

my time with the test car, and I<br />

can report a 5l/100km (56mpg)<br />

instantaneous figure sitting at a<br />

steady 100km/h. At that speed the<br />

engine is working over at a lazy<br />

1750rpm in the tallest part of the<br />

gearing.<br />

In VRX specification, the<br />

ASX gets a healthy level of<br />

specification including full leather<br />

trim with heated front seats and<br />

keyless entry and ignition. There<br />

are also many additions for safety<br />

and infotainment.<br />

I was a little disappointed<br />

when I took the ASX back,<br />

I’m convinced it helped in the<br />

recovery of my back muscles.<br />

Now it’s back to battling the low<br />

seat position in the Kiddie-family<br />

Toyota, I’m hoping my back will<br />

last out until the scheduled drive<br />

I have in the new year for the<br />

upgraded Outlander Sport.

Directions<br />

Wash the jar in hot water and<br />

set aside. Prepare the vegetables<br />

and set aside.<br />

Put the vinegar, water, sugar,<br />

garlic and aromatics in a medium<br />

saucepan. Bring to the boil.<br />

Add carrots and cook for two<br />

minutes. Add the fennel and<br />

celery and cook for a further two<br />

minutes.<br />

Carefully put all the vegetables<br />

into the clean jar and pour over<br />

the pickling solution so the vegetables<br />

are completely submerged.<br />

Seal the jar and allow to cool.<br />

For best results, allow the<br />

vegetables to pickle for at least<br />

a week before eating. This will<br />

keep in the fridge for a couple of<br />

months.<br />

Garnishing<br />

75g pistachio nuts<br />

1 pomegranate, peeled and seeds<br />

separated<br />

a handful of micro mint<br />

a handful of edible flowers<br />

Directions<br />

Prepare the maple glaze. Place<br />

the beef stock, maple syrup,<br />

sugar and mustard in a saucepan<br />

and bring to a boil. Let it boil for<br />

eight to 10min, until thick and<br />

sticky. Set aside.<br />

Score the skin of the lamb,<br />

then season well with salt, pepper<br />

and sumac.<br />

Place a large frying pan over<br />

high heat and heat until it is<br />

smoking. Add the olive oil,<br />

followed by the lamb, skin-side<br />

down. Let it cook until the skin<br />

is caramelised and golden in<br />

colour.<br />

Preheat the oven to 240 deg C.<br />

Remove the lamb and place<br />

skin-side up in an oven dish.<br />

Brush with the maple glaze and<br />

roast for 30min.<br />

Brush with the maple glaze<br />

every 10min until a thermometer<br />

inserted into the thickest<br />

part of the leg reads 54 deg C for<br />

medium rare.<br />

Remove and place on a wire<br />

rack. Cover with aluminium foil<br />

and let rest for 10min.<br />

Arrange on a serving plate<br />

and garnish with pistachio nuts,<br />

pomegranate seeds, micro mint<br />

and edible flowers.<br />

The Lost Summers of Driftwood<br />

by Vanessa McCausland<br />

The Lost Summers of Driftwood is a story of lost<br />

loves, rekindled passions, tragedy and betrayal set<br />

against the backdrop of an idyllic south coast town.<br />

Is it more dangerous to forget ... or to remember?<br />

Phoebe’s life has fallen apart and there’s only one<br />

place left to go. Alone and adrift after a failed marriage<br />

proposal, she flees Sydney to her family’s abandoned<br />

holiday cottage. On the slow-moving river Phoebe is confronted with<br />

the legacy of her older sister’s suicide, a year before. Why did Karin<br />

leave a note written in flowers and walk into the water?<br />

Phoebe’s childhood love, Jez, has moved back to the beautiful old<br />

house, Driftwood, one jetty down. He’s married now and the home<br />

has become a refuge for an unlikely little community. As the river<br />

begins to give up its secrets, Phoebe finds herself caught up in old<br />

feelings and new mysteries.<br />

The Kid Who Came From Space<br />

by Ross Welford<br />

The stunning new 10+ story from the bestselling and award-winning author<br />

of TIME TRAVELLING WITH A HAMSTER, for anyone who loved the humour of<br />

WALL-E, the action of STAR WARS and the deeply touching emotion of ET.<br />

A small village in the wilds of Northumberland is rocked by the<br />

disappearance of twelve-year-old Tammy. Only her twin brother, Ethan,<br />

knows she is safe – and the extraordinary truth of where she is. It is a secret<br />

he must keep, or risk never seeing her again.<br />

But that doesn’t mean he’s going to give up.<br />

Together with his friend Iggy and the mysterious (and very hairy) Hellyann,<br />

Ethan teams up with a spaceship called Philip, and Suzy the trained chicken,<br />

for a nail-biting chase to get his sister back… that will take him further than<br />

anyone has ever been before.<br />

A remarkable story of sibling connection, friendship and interstellar adventure<br />

from the author Kiran Millwood Hargrave called “one of my favourite middle<br />

grade writers”.<br />
