A LOOKOUT spot on the Port<br />
Hills has become a dumping<br />
ground.<br />
It started off with smaller litter<br />
like cans, bottles and fast food<br />
waste being left in and around a<br />
car park at the top of Mt Pleasant<br />
Rd, near the intersection with<br />
Summit Rd.<br />
But now, the scale of the<br />
problem has escalated, with<br />
people leaving large piles of<br />
household rubbish and building<br />
waste, says a resident.<br />
Dmitri Rechkunov lives<br />
on Summit Rd and he has<br />
been spending a lot of time<br />
picking up rubbish within a<br />
radius of about 500m around<br />
the area where there are no<br />
public bins.<br />
“I’ve called the city council a<br />
number of times asking them<br />
to put a rubbish bin on the<br />
intersection of Mt Pleasant Rd<br />
and Summit Rd,’’ he said.<br />

from the editor’s desk<br />
Dmitri Rechkunov has a very good point<br />
about rubbish being dumped on the Port<br />
Hills (see page 1).<br />
He lives on Summit Rd and he’s getting<br />
rightly frustrated with people leaving their<br />
rubbish at a lookout spot near the junction<br />
with Mt Pleasant Rd.<br />
But it’s not the only place on the Port Hills where people going<br />
for walks or parking up are leaving their trash.<br />
The Port Hills are an amazing resource, right on the back door<br />
of Christchurch with a web of tracks to walk, run and cycle.<br />
There are places you can park up and look at the incredible views<br />
across the city to the Pacific and out to Southern Alps, and back<br />
down to Lyttelton and the peninsula.<br />
So why spoil it?<br />

Group says estuary pathway<br />
will not harm birdlife<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
THE CHRISTCHURCH 360<br />
Trail group says birdlife will not<br />
be harmed if a pathway is built<br />
along the western edge of the<br />
Avon-Heathcote Ihutai Estuary.<br />
This is based on the final draft<br />
of a Boffa Miskell report commissioned<br />
by the city council<br />
that says: “Actual levels of<br />
disturbance to birds as a result<br />
of the pathway constitute very<br />
low, low or moderate ecological<br />
magnitudes of effect.<br />
“Opportunities to avoid and<br />
minimise these effects are available.”<br />
The trail is 135km so far and<br />
includes walking tracks around<br />
the city’s radius. The section beside<br />
the estuary is one of the last<br />
needed to complete the trail.<br />
Trail chairwoman Judith Millar<br />
said the pathway proposal<br />
includes measures which will<br />
protect birds from threats such<br />
as pedestrians, cyclists and dogs.<br />
However, Avon Heathcote<br />
Estuary Ihutai Trust chairman<br />
Kit Doudney said the trust “absolutely<br />
refute that.”<br />
The trust and Redcliffs<br />
Residents Association are<br />
concerned building the pathway<br />

PROTECTION: Christchurch 360 Trail chairwoman Judith Millar<br />

in the proposed area beside the<br />
Bromley Oxidation Ponds will<br />
put godwits and about 100 other<br />
bird species which use the estuary<br />
in jeopardy.<br />
Mr Doudney believes the<br />
pathway proposal goes against<br />
the estuary’s status as part of the<br />
East Asian-Australasian Flyway,<br />
which is supposed to protect<br />
birds that use it.<br />

He wants the pathway built<br />
further away from the estuary<br />
and the city council is investigating<br />
this option.<br />
But Mrs Millar said the current<br />
proposal includes measures to<br />
stop birds from being harmed.<br />
“The [city] council is investigating<br />
mitigation procedures<br />
to deal with the issues that the<br />
estuary trust people raised<br />
and we agree that there should<br />
be measures. We think there<br />
should be screening, we think<br />
that a low barbed wire between<br />
the trail and the pond [estuary]<br />
levee is all that’s necessary.”<br />
Said city council head of parks<br />
Andrew Rutledge: “The pathway<br />
would be flanked by a security<br />
fence several metres to the<br />
pond side of the path, and screen<br />
planting along the estuary<br />
shore. Planting along most of<br />
the estuary shore already<br />
exists; the project is to provide<br />
screening of most of the remaining<br />
gaps.”<br />
Mr Rutledge said additional<br />
protective measures, which<br />
may also be considered include<br />
“educational signage promoting<br />
the site values, dog exclusion<br />
signage, regular monitoring of<br />
compliance, track closure at certain<br />
times” and “vehicle barriers<br />
at entry points.”<br />
Mr Doudney said these measures<br />
won’t work and birds will<br />
suffer.<br />
“Since last winter, we’ve got<br />
new data from a student who<br />
was working over the summer<br />
on bird disturbance. There will<br />
be a massive impact.”<br />

No easy task<br />
narrowing<br />
down squad<br />
• From page 1<br />
New Zealand coach Kiri Shaw<br />
said it had not been an easy<br />
process to narrow down the<br />
squad.<br />
“We are very excited<br />
about this team after a<br />
lengthy but thorough selection<br />
process.<br />
“The opportunity for squad<br />
members to play in a number<br />
of tournaments where they<br />
have been exposed to a higher<br />
level of play and compete against<br />
more experienced women has<br />
been an invaluable exercise,’’<br />
Shaw said.<br />
“Just as important were<br />
observations made at under-18<br />
nationals.<br />
“We have learnt a lot about<br />
players as well as the things we<br />
want to implement in terms of<br />
the team culture we want in<br />
place for this Junior White Sox<br />
team.<br />
“This was an extremely tough<br />
team to select. But it was a good<br />
problem to have. Consistency,<br />
versatility, attitude and<br />
improvement were the basis of<br />
our final 16 women roster for the<br />
World Cup,” she said.<br />
‘Fly-tippers’ could face prosecution<br />
• From page 1<br />
“I still pick up bottles from my<br />
property, people sit on the intersection<br />
drinking beer and throw<br />
them over the fence.”<br />
He said there are a lot of people<br />
walking on Summit Rd who pick<br />
up rubbish and ask to use his<br />
rubbish bin.<br />
“It’s totally fine that [visitors]<br />
use my bin, but you can see how<br />
many people worry about it.”<br />
City council manager of city<br />
streets maintenance Mark Pinner<br />
said staff are aware of the<br />
problem.<br />
“We have received three reports<br />
in the past three days. Two<br />
of these were to report builder<br />
waste and one for household<br />
waste.”<br />
Before this, he said staff<br />
had only received and actioned<br />
only one report in the past 12<br />
months.<br />
“There are no public bins in<br />
the area, and waste, once identified,<br />
is typically removed within<br />
two days.”<br />
He said this type of dumping<br />
is classed as ‘fly-tipping’ and<br />
individuals face prosecution if<br />
caught. Fines range between<br />
$100 and $400 depending on<br />
how much is dumped and what it<br />
contains.<br />
“We encourage the public to<br />
report any such issues. If people<br />
can identify anyone responsible,<br />
we request they provide as much<br />
information as possible so that<br />
we can follow up with them.”<br />
Mt Pleasant is not the only<br />
place which has been treated as a<br />
tip this year.<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News reported in<br />
February that rubbish had been<br />
spilling out of bins at Taylors<br />
Mistake Beach onto the ground<br />
and in January, there were issues<br />
with people dumping green<br />
waste at public areas in Diamond<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
‘It’s totally fine that<br />
[visitors] use my bin,<br />
but you can see how<br />
many people worry<br />
about it.’<br />

INSTALLED: A large pipeline being pulled along Ferry Rd overnight on<br />
Saturday before being drawn through a tunnel under the Heathcote River by<br />
a specialist drill rig.<br />
Lyttelton wastewater<br />
pipeline flows into place<br />
A 535M wastewater pipeline<br />
has been installed under the<br />
Heathcote River, marking<br />
a major milestone in work<br />
on the Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
wastewater project.<br />
The pipeline will attach<br />
the Alport Place pump<br />
station to the Heathcote<br />
Valley pipeline – signalling<br />
a major step in the project<br />
to connect Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong>’s<br />
wastewater system<br />
to the main Christchurch<br />
system.<br />
JOIN US NOW!<br />
The installation was<br />
completed early on Sunday,<br />
with the pipeline pulled<br />
along Ferry Rd overnight.<br />
The pipeline was drawn<br />
through the tunnel under<br />
the river and Ferry Road<br />
roundabout by a specialist<br />
drill rig.<br />
The rig is the only one of<br />
its kind in New Zealand.<br />
The work team will pressure<br />
test the pipe this week<br />
to ensure it is ready for use.<br />
The multi-million dollar<br />
See website for details<br />
project will put an end to<br />
the routine discharge of<br />
treated wastewater into<br />
Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
There were delays drilling<br />
the tunnel underneath<br />
the Heathcote River and<br />
Ferry Rd roundabout.<br />
Contractors working for<br />
the city council had hoped<br />
to drill the tunnel as part<br />
of the Lyttelton wastewater<br />
project in January, however<br />
the start date was pushed<br />
out to mid-February.<br />

Twins prepare for new art exhibition<br />
MT PLEASANT twins Bella and<br />
Demeter Kenton-Dau had their first<br />
exhibition in Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> at<br />
just seven years old.<br />
Now, 10 years on, they are preparing<br />
to launch their new exhibition<br />
at the Pumanawa Gallery in the<br />
Christchurch Arts Centre on <strong>March</strong><br />
16.<br />
Through New Eyes features the<br />
latest work from Bella and Demeter<br />
who will use the funds raised<br />
through the sale of their art to travel<br />
to Europe later in the year.<br />
TWIN TALENT: Bella and<br />
Demeter Kenton-Dau will use<br />
funds from the sale of their art to<br />
travel to Europe and to donate<br />
to their favourite long-standing<br />
charity, DogWatch.<br />
A portion of sales will also be<br />
donated to their favourite longstanding<br />
charity DogWatch.<br />
The exhibition runs for a week<br />
and original canvases, prints and<br />
gift cards from their work will be<br />
for sale.<br />
There will be wine to celebrate the<br />
launch at 6pm. Space is limited to<br />
the first 70 people who arrive.<br />

States, Bella and Demeter are<br />
another example of New Zealand’s<br />
vibrant art community.<br />

Readers respond to last<br />
week’s article about<br />
Redcliffs Residents’<br />
Association’s ongoing<br />
frustration over rock spoil at<br />
the surface at Clifton Beach<br />
Garry Smith – Sumner locals<br />
are a mad bunch all looking for<br />
their 10min of fame. I would<br />
rather be avoiding the doggy<br />
poos than the rocks on the<br />
beach. Walking bare feet is such<br />
a challenging exercise at Sumner<br />
with so many obstacles to avoid<br />
like rocks, crabs, doggy poos . . .<br />
when will the bureaucracy end.<br />
Rosemary Neave – I appreciate<br />
the commitment of<br />
Redcliffs resident Pat McIntosh in<br />
advocating for our area. However,<br />
I believe the concern about rocks<br />
being exposed at Clifton Beach<br />
is not something that money<br />
should be spent on at this time.<br />
Yes, maybe shoes need to be worn<br />
– but within a stone’s throw the<br />
shoes can be removed and toes<br />
wiggle in the sand in beautiful<br />
Sumner beach. Let’s support Linwood,<br />
Phillipstown and Brighton<br />
… where more investment is<br />
needed desperately.<br />
Sean Thomson – I’m going<br />
to try to write this without swearing<br />
though many expletives can<br />
be imagined in the background.<br />
This is such a non-problem. So<br />
there are rocks there – they affect<br />
a pathetic percentage of the beach.<br />
If there is such an issue, use the<br />
second set of steps. And they’re<br />
getting covered by sand? Great,<br />
that’s what we want surely. You<br />
can’t complain that they’re getting<br />
covered up while also complaining<br />
that the situation hasn’t<br />
changed. Instead of monitoring<br />
at least once a month why not go<br />
and pick up the ones that really<br />
annoy you. For the council to<br />
spend ratepayers money to “fix”<br />
this would be ludicrous. Maybe<br />
Those complaining would like to<br />
offer to do something about it.<br />
Laurie O’Neill – My walking<br />
buddy and I continue to wonder<br />
what all the fuss is about. The<br />
very small section of rocks appear<br />
to be a natural part of the<br />
beach environment and afford no<br />
inconvenience when some form<br />
of footwear is worn. I suspect<br />
the complainants are a tiny [but<br />
quite vocal] section of locals with<br />
nothing better to do. As usually<br />
happens the vast majority, who<br />
see no problem here, will not<br />
respond but just hope sanity prevails.<br />
The beach, east from Shag<br />
Rock, with its new rock wall and<br />
the rock bund in the background<br />
[now partially covered in flourishing<br />
small trees and shrubs] is<br />
aesthetically far more attractive<br />
than the original. The designers,<br />
engineers and contractor deserve<br />
honest credit for this excellent<br />
project.<br />
Julie Riley responds to the<br />
February 19 article about<br />
about Lyttelton’s Mitre<br />
Tavern, which has become<br />
increasingly derelict since it<br />
was closed due to damage<br />
from the February 22, 2011,<br />
earthquake<br />
In addition to the Mitre Tavern<br />
being an eyesore for so long l<br />
would like to draw attention to<br />
the guard fences that surround<br />
it. My partner is 81 years old and<br />
I’m 75. We find with our slow<br />
mobility there are safety issues<br />
where we are forced to walk up<br />
Canterbury St on the road. Also<br />
when driving and turning right<br />
onto Norwich Quay the red barriers<br />
block vision to oncoming right<br />
hand traffic. The sooner these<br />
barriers can be moved the better.<br />
Charity yacht race to benefit<br />
Cholmondeley children<br />
A NEW sailing regatta created<br />
to support Cholmondeley<br />
Children’s Centre will see<br />
businesses race around Lyttelton<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
The event, on <strong>March</strong> 20, will<br />
be the first charity yacht race to<br />
take place in Christchurch in<br />
more than a decade.<br />
Started by the Naval Point<br />
Club and sponsored by Lyttelton<br />
Port Company, the regatta aims<br />
to bring together the community<br />
behind local children and<br />
families who are in crisis.<br />
Cholmondeley Fundraising<br />
and marketing manager Tanya<br />
Cooke said the race is a unique<br />
way for businesses to show they<br />
care for Canterbury families,<br />
while taking part in a challenging<br />
team competition.<br />
“Seeing the Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
community join together to<br />
support our local tamariki and<br />
whānau through this new event<br />
is incredible. Our services are in<br />
high-demand and this regatta<br />
will help usto continue providing<br />
respite and family support to<br />
the more than 500 children that<br />
stay at Cholmondeley each year,”<br />
she said.<br />
GOOD CAUSE: A sailing<br />
regatta on Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
will be held on <strong>March</strong> 20.<br />
With the support of a skipper<br />
and expert crew member, each<br />
team of sailors will traverse a<br />
course through Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
and spend three-to-four<br />
hours on the water learning as<br />
they race.<br />
Naval Point Club manager<br />
Richard Matterson said the<br />
event will be a one-of-a-kind<br />
team building activity for businesses<br />
and a great chance to<br />
experience the thrill of sailing.<br />
Lyttelton Port Company is not<br />
only sponsoring the event, but<br />
also entering a team.<br />
The Cholmondeley Sailing<br />
Regatta start at Naval Point Club<br />
Lyttelton at 12.30pm.<br />
Lunch will be included, with<br />
a barbecue dinner and awards<br />
ceremony to be held afterwards<br />
at the club.<br />

No decision yet on proposal to alter place names<br />
• By Jess Gibson<br />
A DECISION is still to be made<br />
on a plan to assign or alter the<br />
names of 13 locations across<br />
Banks Peninsula.<br />
The New Zealand Geographic<br />
Board proposal, requested by<br />
local hapu Rāpaki Rūnanga,<br />
would see Maori names restored<br />
alongside 11 current place names<br />
and would change the names of<br />
two locations.<br />
Land Information New Zealand<br />
ran a public consultation on<br />
the proposal in November and<br />
December.<br />
Feedback received will be<br />
considered by NZGB at its next<br />
meeting on April 2.<br />
NZGB secretary Wendy Shaw<br />
said if there are only supporting<br />
submissions then the board will<br />
make the final decision.<br />
However, if there are<br />
submissions objecting to the<br />
names, and the NZGB doesn’t<br />
agree with them, then the<br />
Minister for Land Information<br />
Eugenie Sage will make the final<br />
decision.<br />
“As such we are unable to say<br />
when final decisions will be made<br />
at this stage in the process,’’ Ms<br />
Shaw said.<br />
If approved, historic Maori<br />
names would be added to existing<br />
names for Cass Peak, Dyers<br />
Pass, King Billy Island, Mansons<br />
Peninsula and Coopers Knob,<br />
among others.<br />
Two proposals are not for dual<br />
names as there were no English<br />
names for those features –<br />
Rapaki and Rapaki Rock.<br />
DILIGENT: Sebastian Fergusson will study a Bachelor of Business while developing his idea of<br />
a more efficient rescue paddle board.<br />
Bid to design a more efficient<br />
surf lifesaving paddle board<br />
FORMER SUMNER Surf<br />
Life Saving Club member<br />
Sebastian Fergusson is using his<br />
scholarship to save lives at sea.<br />
The 18-year-old has won a<br />
scholarship to Gold Coast’s Bond<br />
University to design a more efficient<br />
rescue paddle board.<br />
He will study a Bachelor of<br />
Business while developing his<br />
idea under a transformer scholarship<br />
for student entrepreneurs.<br />
Fergusson has competed in surf<br />
lifesaving since he was seven.<br />
He has won a gold and a<br />
bronze medal at the New Zealand<br />
Surf Life Saving Championships,<br />
and made three finals at<br />
the Australian Surf Life Saving<br />
Championships.<br />
Fergusson said his long-term<br />
goal was to set up a company to<br />
redesign the traditional<br />
surf lifesaving rescue paddle<br />
board.<br />
“Like gears on a bike, I believe<br />
the paddle board design can be<br />
more efficient,” Fergusson said.<br />
“Gears on a bike, you’re climbing<br />
up a hill, you chop down a<br />
gear, it makes it easier.<br />
Fergusson is currently in the<br />
research stage of his project and<br />
intends to test other products<br />
on the market to see how strong<br />
they are and how well they travel<br />
through water, before moving<br />
ahead.<br />
He hopes to be able to use<br />
computer aided design to<br />
maximise a board’s strength and<br />
speed.<br />
Lifeguard benefits<br />
from Aussie<br />
leadership college<br />
TONI CRANKO had a lot<br />
to gain from a prestigious<br />
week-long course at the Surf<br />
Life Saving Australia National<br />
Leadership College.<br />
The Sumner Surf Life Saving<br />
Club member attended the college<br />
in Sydney from February 2<br />
to 8 along with 21 Australians<br />
and James Lloyd from <strong>Bay</strong> of<br />
Plenty’s Waihi Beach Lifeguard<br />
Services.<br />
The intensive annual leadership<br />
and development programme<br />
recognises the brightest<br />
and best surf lifeguard leaders<br />
aged between 20 and 30.<br />
It is designed to challenge,<br />
inspire and motivate the participants<br />
and involves a range of<br />
leadership activities and challenges.<br />
Cranko said the course was<br />
challenging, fun and very educational.<br />
“A highlight was getting to<br />
connect with different people<br />
and talking about sharing resources<br />
and different ideas that<br />
we can bring back to our own<br />
clubs. Even though we are different<br />
organisations we still have a<br />
lot of similarities.”<br />
Cranko said one of the greatest<br />
takeaways from the college is<br />
the network that has been created<br />
across Australia and New<br />
Zealand.<br />
“We now have this group of<br />
people who we can go to, to<br />
share ideas, seek advice and<br />
Toni Cranko <br />
discuss problems.”<br />
The week gave Cranko the<br />
confidence to back herself as a<br />
leader, to try new things, challenge<br />
people and ideas.<br />
Being involved in, and seeing<br />
how Surf Life Saving Australia<br />
runs its national leadership programme<br />
was really valuable, she<br />
said.<br />
“I plan to bring back some<br />
of these ideas for our national<br />
leadership programme – BP<br />
Leaders for Life.”<br />
Success for Redcliffs Mt Pleasant Bowling Club<br />
The New Brighton Bowling Club hosted the<br />

with the Redcliffs Mt Pleasant team winning<br />
the Trophy. This is the first time our club has<br />
won this coveted Canterbury title.<br />
Jude Main was runner-up in the 1st and 2nd<br />

Planting winter vegetables<br />
The Redcliffs<br />
Residents<br />
Association has<br />
launched an<br />
“eco-village”<br />
initiative in<br />
response to<br />
our climate and ecological<br />
emergency. This month<br />
member Dave Bryce is<br />
focusing on sustainable food.<br />
IF YOU were too late to get<br />
a vegetable garden started in<br />
spring, now is the time to get one<br />
started for winter.<br />
If you need any persuasion, try<br />
these reasons:<br />
1. You will get high quality,<br />
fresh, in-season, nutrient rich<br />
food that you will want to cook<br />
yourself.<br />
2. You will know where your<br />
food comes from and what’s in it,<br />
no additives or processing.<br />
3. You will reduce your carbon<br />
emissions, by eliminating “food<br />
miles” transporting your food,<br />
and by storing carbon in your soil<br />
when you compost the left-overs.<br />
4. You will improve your<br />
health and well-being by regularly<br />
engaging with nature, getting<br />
out in the fresh air and sunshine,<br />
and getting exercise.<br />
The simplest way to make your<br />
garden is to get one or more of the<br />
old green rubbish bins (with the<br />
holes for handles and a hole in the<br />
bottom), fill with soil/compost/<br />
potting mix and place in a sunny<br />
spot where you can water it.<br />
A more permanent way is to<br />
dig over a few square meters of<br />
your ground, in a sunny spot<br />
which you can water.<br />
If you don’t want to dig, you<br />
can just cut and lay down the<br />
grass or weeds, poke extensively<br />
with a garden fork in to loosen<br />
and aerate, and then lay down<br />
overlapping sheets of newspaper<br />
at least six sheets thick<br />
(or cardboard), followed by a<br />
layer of sheep or cow manure,<br />
layer of straw, layer of grass or<br />
kitchen scraps, layer of fine bark,<br />
then compost and potting mix<br />
(Google: Lasagne Garden).<br />
At this time of year you can<br />
sow carrots, beetroot, turnips,<br />
parsnips, kohlrabi, radishes, spring<br />
onions, swedes or root crops,<br />
BENEFITS:<br />
Maintaining a<br />
vegetable garden<br />
can be good for your<br />
health and wellbeing<br />
for a number<br />
of reasons.<br />
dwarf beans, peas, broad beans<br />
or legumes and lettuces, mesclun,<br />
rocket, silverbeet, florence fennel,<br />
spinach, kale, cabbages, Chinese<br />
cabbages, broccoli and cauliflowers<br />
or leaf crops.<br />
Decide which of these you<br />
would like to eat, and buy packets<br />
of seed – take into account<br />
that some crops will take a few<br />
months to mature, although you<br />
could buy plants of some to get a<br />
head-start.<br />
It is good practice to have<br />
a separate container/bed for<br />
each of the groups like roots,<br />
legumes and leaf, and rotate<br />
them at the next planting time<br />
so that the same soil isn’t used<br />
for the same group two years in<br />
a row.<br />
This puts less pressure on soil<br />
nutrients and organisms and<br />
avoids disease build-up.<br />
Tackling peninsula’s<br />
community issues<br />
• By Jess Gibson<br />
A CROWD of about 50 gathered<br />
in Akaroa on Thursday to review<br />
the main issues affecting the<br />
community.<br />
It was the second hui hosted<br />
by the Akaroa Resource Collective<br />
Trust at Heartlands,<br />
following several working parties<br />
which were held to analyse<br />
topics raised at the first meeting<br />
in November.<br />
Some of the things discussed<br />
in depth at the second hui were<br />
the Akaroa Health Centre, a<br />
Destination Management Plan,<br />
FrenchFest and Akaroa Area<br />
School.<br />
ARCT at Heartlands provides,<br />
promotes and supports<br />
charitable services that benefit<br />
the Akaroa community and surrounding<br />
areas.<br />
Manager Kerry Little said<br />
from the meeting, there came<br />
a goal to seek wider community<br />
representation, including<br />
younger people.<br />
She said there are still questions<br />
around how that can be<br />
achieved, but next step is to go<br />
out into other areas such as Duvauchelle<br />
to share information<br />
with residents and see what is<br />
happening in their communities.<br />
PROGRESS: Some of the<br />
main issues affecting Akaroa<br />
were discussed by the<br />
community following several<br />
working parties.<br />
“It’s not just all about Akaroa,’’<br />
she said.<br />
The event, held at The Gaiety<br />
on Rue Jolie, was attended by<br />
residents, community groups<br />
and Banks Peninsula Community<br />
Board members, among<br />
others and presentations were<br />
given by key stakeholders.<br />
Said community board member<br />
Nigel Harrison: “It was a<br />
good way of trying to engage the<br />
community. I think there’s been<br />
a lot of good work done with<br />
the information and there were<br />
more issues collected that will be<br />
collated.<br />
“What’s really good is that it’s<br />
going to validate what we are<br />
putting in the three year plan,’’<br />
he said.<br />

BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY<br />
Tanya Jenkins is the manager of the Avon-<br />
Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust, a non-profit<br />
organisation formed in 2002 to protect one of<br />
New Zealand’s most important coastal wetlands.<br />
Each week she introduces a new bird found<br />
in the estuary. Her column aims to raise the<br />
understanding of the values and uniqueness of<br />
the area.<br />
Vocal duck pairs for life<br />
THE PARADISE duck, or<br />
putangitangi, are a colourful and<br />
very vocal endemic waterfowl<br />
species – and they are only found<br />
in New Zealand.<br />
Numbers of these birds have<br />
drastically increased since<br />
European settlement as these<br />
ducks adapted well to farmland<br />
and open areas created by the<br />
colonists and can now be found<br />
throughout NZ.<br />
The females are easily recognised<br />
by their white heads but also by the<br />
loud high-pitched shrieking noises<br />
they make when constantly communicating<br />
to the males.<br />
Charming to know that most<br />
Paradise ducks pair up for life;<br />
feeding, nesting, flying together<br />
and protecting their territory. It is<br />
only during the moulting season<br />
(when they lose all their feathers<br />
and are temporarily unable to fly)<br />
that they will team up with other<br />
pairs as in larger groups they feel<br />
safer from predators such as dogs<br />
and cats.<br />
Pairs build their nest in long<br />
grass along our streams, rivers<br />
and estuary and the female will<br />
incubate the some nine eggs<br />
while the male fiercely protects<br />
his family from anyone or anything<br />
coming near.<br />
How can we help the Paradise<br />
duck numbers to thrive? Keep dogs<br />
on the lead at all times as dogs are<br />
a huge threat to birds needing to<br />
nest, rest and feed in peace.<br />
ENDEMIC: Paradise<br />
ducks are known to pair<br />
up for life – feeding,<br />
nesting, flying and<br />
protecting their territory<br />
together.<br />

GAINING KNOWLEDGE: Okains <strong>Bay</strong> School pupils learn taiaha<br />
skills as part of this programme discussing Māori taonga and<br />
technology.<br />
OKAINS BAY School pupils have<br />
started working on a project which<br />
aims to heighten their creativity.<br />
The school was one of 33<br />
selected nationally to take part in<br />
the Ministry of Education programme,<br />
Creatives in Schools,<br />
for the first two terms of <strong>2020</strong>.<br />
It aims to to improve their<br />
well-being, skills in communication,<br />
collaboration, creative<br />
thinking, and raise their awareness<br />
of creative careers.<br />
Curator and project manager<br />
Holly Cunningham is helping the<br />
students connect with artists and<br />
experts in their field to learn skills<br />
like painting, photography, weaving,<br />
and drawing, among others.<br />
They will use the printing<br />
presses at Okains <strong>Bay</strong> Museum<br />
to produce images and text, and<br />
will learn about Māori technology<br />
and Te Reo sentence structures to<br />
describe the museum’s taonga.<br />
During this programme the<br />
pupils will discover more about<br />
their history and become advocates<br />
for their museum.<br />
Their creative efforts will result<br />
in a museum brochure, created<br />
by the pupils with the help of a<br />
graphic designer as a tour guide<br />
for visitors.<br />
Said principal Colin Hammond:<br />
“It is great the ākonga are<br />
learning about local history and<br />
taonga in our untapped local<br />
museum, possibly the best museum<br />
in the country for Māori<br />
artefacts and our history.”<br />
The community will be invited<br />
to a celebration, also organised<br />
by the pupils to mark the end of<br />
the project in May.

All good things come to an end<br />
YOU KNOW what they say<br />
about good things and what they<br />
inevitably do?<br />
Well, this week brings big<br />
changes in our house. One being<br />
the end of my time as a stay-athome-dad<br />
and returning to the<br />
workforce.<br />
The other, sadly, being the end<br />
of this column.<br />
It’s been amazing having an opportunity<br />
to share thoughts and<br />
stories like this. It’s also been a<br />
real treat to have people recognise<br />
us (mostly Vittoria) when we’re<br />
out and about. If you’ve been one<br />
of those people, thank you, you<br />
made my day every time.<br />
But over and above it all, the<br />
last 16 months have been something<br />
beyond description in<br />
terms of the privilege of spending<br />
so much time with my daughter.<br />
I was nervous about how I’d<br />
cope going into it, but over time<br />
I’ve developed my parenting skills<br />
so much that I’d be confident to<br />
care for her on my own anywhere<br />
and for, pretty much, any length<br />
of time.<br />
I’ve witnessed my little girl<br />
grow from cute, mumbling bug<br />
to a sassy little speed demon who<br />
loves music, singing and a select<br />
series of bedtime stories. I’ve had<br />
a front row seat to help her grow<br />
into her own little person.<br />
VITTORIA<br />
& Matt<br />
THEN AND NOW: Vittoria at the beginning of the stay-at-home<br />
dad experience, and 16 months later.<br />
There’s definitely been hard<br />
times. Any parent could tell you<br />
that it can be easy to feel cut off<br />
from the ‘adult world’. Being a<br />
full-time, stay home, parent it can<br />
be hard to escape that without<br />
the ‘adult world’ involving only<br />
other parents. Probably with kids<br />
in tow.<br />
Not that that can’t be a great<br />
time, because it definitely can be,<br />
but you definitely find yourself<br />
appreciating any non-kid focussed<br />
events more than before.<br />
•Former <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News<br />
journalist Matt Salmons has<br />
spent 16 months as a stay-athome<br />
dad. We have followed<br />
his journey weekly but he<br />
is now heading back to the<br />
workforce<br />
Another difficulty I found was<br />
a kind of guilty feeling from not<br />
financially contributing substantially<br />
to the household income.<br />
I’m not talking about feeling<br />
FAMILY: Laura, Vittoria and Matt.<br />
pressure to be a provider of cash,<br />
that had only lasted a couple<br />
weeks. It’s more feeling guilty<br />
about spending on yourself because<br />
it’s ‘not your money’.<br />
It took a lot of Laura reassuring<br />
me that I didn’t need to feel guilty<br />
before I got myself my first stayat-home-parent<br />
takeaway coffee.<br />
Still, I wouldn’t change anything<br />
about the experience. It is one of<br />
the best things I’ve ever done.<br />
Now I’ll have to get used to<br />
the working world all over again,<br />
including having to be out of my<br />
PJs before 6am.<br />
I’ll also have to get used to the<br />
idea of walking out of the house<br />
most days and leaving my little<br />
girl behind, which is hard to even<br />
think about. So as exciting as<br />
these changes are, it’s sad to leave<br />
the life of the last year behind.<br />
So, wish us luck and I thank<br />
you, dear reader, for all the time<br />
you’ve spent with us over this<br />
time. It’s been an honour sharing<br />
it with you.<br />

“As an American down under for more than 37 years, I realise I have<br />
become addicted to the Southern Latitudes and the continuously<br />
changing landscape of New Zealand. The bounteous flora, fauna,<br />
landscape and weather provide a rich smorgasbord of images, never<br />
static.”<br />
“My painting process usually begins with a single object. Following<br />
several preparatory sketches. I then start the process of adding other<br />
images, as well as fabricated bits and pieces. It is the unforgiving<br />
aspect of watercolour painting and the flexibility of moving three<br />
dimensional components around on the surface that excites me.<br />
Using a combination of fabricated tromp l’oeil paper objects and<br />
the underlying painted surface, I hope to create work that is both<br />
completely familiar and yet new again. Like life itself, each work<br />
resonates with both the story and history associated with some objects,<br />
and the imagined potential of others.”<br />
This exhibition is John’s fourth at Little River Gallery. His passions in<br />
life clearly drive the content of his art. Fishing, observing birds and<br />
weather, nostalgic collections, conservation, typography and word<br />
play are skillfully rendered and arranged with the designer’s eye. It is<br />
difficult to appreciate the three dimensionality of John’s work without<br />
the work before you. We love the appreciative sounds coming from<br />
the gallery as the observer realises the extra dimension and life like<br />
qualities John manages to achieve with paper.<br />

Dead to Her<br />
by Sarah Pinborough<br />
From the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author<br />
of Behind Her Eyes<br />
There’s nothing like a woman scorned.<br />
Something old…When Marcie met Jason Maddox,<br />
she couldn’t believe her luck. Becoming Jason’s second<br />
wife catapulted her into the elite world of high society. But<br />
underneath the polite, old money manners, she knows she’ll<br />
always be an outsider, and her hard-won life hangs by a thread.<br />
Something new… Then Jason’s widowed boss brings back a new wife from<br />
his trip to London. Young, beautiful, reckless – nobody can take their eyes off<br />
Keisha. Including Jason.<br />
Something you can never, ever undo…<br />
Marcie refuses to be replaced so easily. People would kill for her life of luxury.<br />
What will Marcie do to keep it?<br />

She was slipping away. The further she fell, the closer the clouds seemed<br />
to come. Wispy transparent slipstreams of white. Cirrus. Pain smashed her<br />
head. Floating …<br />
When investigative journalist Chrissie O’Brian lands a senior job at The<br />
Argus, she is desperate to escape the nightmares of her past. Her life has<br />
become a daily battle to numb the pain. But her job is something she can do<br />
better than anyone else – and the only thing that keeps the memories at bay.<br />
A face-off on the waterfront between the unions and big business is just the<br />
kind of story to get her career back on track. But after a dockworker who<br />
confided in her turns up dead, Chrissie becomes obsessed with unravelling<br />
the truth. When a gruesome threat lands on her desk, it’s clear someone is<br />
prepared to do anything to stop her.<br />
But who is more dangerous – a ruthless enemy or a woman pushed to<br />
the edge? Used to fighting her own demons, this is one battle Chrissie is<br />
determined not to lose.<br />

Tasty Bites<br />
Feijoa season signals the end of summer<br />
• By Ian Knott<br />
It’s <strong>March</strong> already, and that<br />
means the start of feijoa<br />
season. Has there ever been<br />
a more polarising fruit than<br />
feijoas? Love them or hate<br />
them, these green, oval<br />
nuggets of floral tartness can<br />
bring an extra dimension to<br />
many sweet dishes<br />
Feijoa and blueberry<br />
shortcake crumble<br />
Serves 12<br />
Ingredients<br />
2 cups peeled and chopped feijoas<br />
1 punnet (125g) fresh blueberries<br />
1 Tbsp sugar<br />
1 tsp ground ginger<br />
Crumble topping<br />
¼ cup ground almonds<br />
¼ cup flour<br />
½ cup wholegrain oats<br />
¼ cup soft brown sugar<br />
50g butter, melted<br />
Shortcake<br />
100g butter, softened<br />
½ cup sugar<br />
1 egg<br />
1 ½ cup flour<br />
1 tsp baking powder<br />
Directions<br />
Preheat oven to 170 deg C<br />
(fan assisted). Line the base and<br />
IN SEASON: Feijoa and blueberry shortcake crumble (left), and warm spiced feijoa doughnuts.<br />
sides of a 23cm square cake tin<br />
with baking paper. Mix together<br />
chopped feijoas, blueberries,<br />
sugar and ground ginger and set<br />
aside.<br />
Prepare the crumble topping.<br />
Put ground almonds, flour,<br />
wholegrain oats and sugar into a<br />
mixing bowl. Stir through melted<br />
butter. Set aside.<br />
Prepare the shortcake. Beat<br />
together butter and sugar until<br />
pale. Beat in the egg. Mix in flour<br />
and baking powder to form a soft<br />
dough. Press dough evenly into<br />
the base of the prepared tin.<br />
Spoon over the prepared fruit<br />
to cover the base. Scatter over the<br />
crumble mix.<br />
Bake for 40-45min until top is<br />
golden and base cooked. Leave<br />
in the tin for 20min before<br />
carefully lifting it out, with the<br />
baking paper onto a cake rack to<br />
cool. Serve cut into pieces with<br />
yoghurt, ice-cream or cream.<br />
Warm spiced feijoa<br />
doughnuts<br />
Makes about 14<br />
Ingredients<br />
1¼ cups plain, gluten-free flour<br />
½ tsp baking powder (gf)<br />
Pinch of salt<br />
½ tsp each of ground cinnamon<br />
and mixed spice<br />
3 Tbsp caster sugar<br />
1 egg<br />
3 Tbsp milk<br />
1 Tbsp melted butter<br />
1 tsp vanilla extract<br />
5 medium feijoas, peeled and<br />
diced into 1cm pieces<br />
Vegetable oil<br />
Cinnamon sugar<br />
½ cup caster sugar<br />
¼ tsp ground cinnamon<br />
Directions<br />
Put 5cm of vegetable oil in a<br />
deep, medium-sized saucepan<br />
and heat to 170 deg C on a sugar<br />
thermometer or until a piece of<br />
bread dropped into the oil turns<br />
golden within 30sec.<br />
Combine the sugar and<br />
cinnamon in a shallow dish and set<br />
aside for rolling cooked doughnuts.<br />
Combine all the dry ingredients<br />
in a large bowl. Whisk the egg,<br />
milk, butter and the vanilla together<br />
then stir into the flour along with<br />
the feijoas until well combined.<br />
Carefully drop tablespoons of<br />
the batter into the pan and cook<br />
for about 2min until a golden<br />
colour and puffed, turning<br />
to cook on all sides. Don’t<br />
overcrowd the pan as the oil<br />
temperature will drop rapidly and<br />
the doughnuts will be heavy.<br />
Remove with a slotted spoon<br />
and drain on paper towels. Roll in<br />
the cinnamon sugar then place on<br />
a wire cooling rack in a 100 deg C<br />
oven until all the doughnuts are<br />
cooked. Eat immediately.<br />

Huge power from Lexus hybrid SUV<br />
THE HYBRID technology that<br />
has been so successful for Lexus,<br />
and Toyota, has largely been<br />
based around the four-cylinder<br />
powertrain that first arrived in<br />
Prius 23 years ago.<br />
Of course, the system has been<br />
fundamentally improved and<br />
refined over the years but the fact<br />
remains most manufacturers still<br />
use four pots in the petrol part of<br />
the equation.<br />
One of the exceptions is Lexus<br />
and its V6 petrol-powered RX<br />
series hybrid. Well actually, all<br />
of the Lexus RX range has a V6<br />
engine but the hybrid version is<br />
rather special.<br />
For one you get all the benefits<br />
of that fabulous smooth engine<br />
and all the power it generates, as<br />
well as the economy benefits of<br />
the petrol/electric hybrid system.<br />
The RX450h is the rangetopping<br />
model in the eight-model<br />
series, there are four non-hybrids<br />
and four hybrids. All have recently<br />
undergone a fairly healthy<br />
facelift and upgrade.<br />
I covered many of the additions<br />
in my RX350 article in January.<br />
However, the changes consist<br />
mostly of a refresh around the<br />
frontal area and the inclusion of a<br />
bit of extra kit.<br />
One of the new features are the<br />
clever adaptive headlights that<br />
dim automatically when another<br />
car approaches at night and will<br />
aim towards the left hand side of<br />
the road for greater visibility.<br />
Elsewhere, the RX450h is the<br />
large five or seven-seat sport<br />
utility vehicle that tempts with<br />
its onboard space, style, elegance<br />
and luxury.<br />
It also has to be remembered<br />
that the RX450h is a hybrid, you<br />
tend to forget that, it rides and<br />
drives much like its non-hybrid<br />
stablemate. Sport utility vehicles<br />
have become the car of choice<br />
for many buyers globally, and<br />
the RX450h is there for those<br />
who like the idea of a luxurious<br />
medium-to-large wagon, with the<br />
added benefit of being environmentally-friendly.<br />
The hybrid system is traditional<br />
from the Toyota/Lexus manufacturing<br />
system. The petrol engine<br />
starts automatically when the<br />
electric system is under load, such<br />
as immediate acceleration or to<br />
maintain momentum. Petrol power<br />
also provides the generation<br />
to keep recharging the batteries,<br />
although there is some regeneration<br />
available on deceleration.<br />
The entire drive system<br />
LEXUS RX450h: Hybrid driveline with V6 engine.<br />

family wagon for the everyday<br />
role, yet it also pleases the buyer<br />
with its plush interior and high<br />
level of specification.<br />
Lexus has interesting sales<br />
figures for the RX, not only is<br />
it the largest selling model in<br />
the company’s range, the hybrid<br />
accounts for 30 per cent of RX<br />
sales.<br />
I can see why, the two variants<br />
I have evaluated in a short space<br />
of time have reinforced my desire<br />
for the Lexus product. So much<br />
so that I tell all of those who are<br />
interested in what I drive that I<br />
am a Lexus owner, albeit one that<br />
is nearing 20 years old.<br />
That car still feels tight and<br />
mechanically sound, given its age.<br />
That’s the reason why I’m reluctant<br />
to part with it, it’s one of the<br />
cars that still feels good to drive<br />
and has reliability and reputation<br />
on its side.<br />
The entire RX series carries<br />
the pampering elements that<br />
makes Lexus the sophisticated car<br />
maker it has carved out a huge<br />
reputation for.
