Protecting breeding penguins<br />
aim of Sumner beach boulders<br />
FIFTEEN boulders placed on<br />
Sumner beach near Shag Rock<br />
will help protect white-flippered<br />
penguins during their nesting<br />
season.<br />
When the Coastal Pathway<br />
was built, nesting boxes were<br />
included in the rock embankment<br />
by Shag Rock as it as an area where<br />
the penguins are known to nest and<br />
breed between August and February<br />
each year.<br />
Over the last breeding season,<br />
there was evidence of five pairs of<br />
penguins breeding in the area.<br />
Said city council transport<br />
planning and delivery manager<br />
Lynette Ellis: “We want to make sure<br />
these penguins have a secure nesting<br />
spot that is undisturbed by people<br />
or dogs. On the advice of our coastal<br />
rangers we recently placed additional<br />
boulders to give them some more<br />
protection.”<br />
She said the white-flippered<br />
penguin is endemic to Canterbury<br />
and is classified by the Department<br />
of Conservation as acutely<br />
threatened.<br />
“It is important that we do all we<br />
can to protect the nesting areas.<br />
“It’s amazing to have these birds<br />
breeding in a spot so close to an<br />
urban area and we want people to<br />
have a sense of guardianship. The<br />
last thing we want is people or their<br />
animals inadvertently disturbing<br />

SHELTERED: Large rocks have been placed near Shag Rock, Sumner, to protect white-flippered penguin<br />
nesting boxes from dogs and pedestrians.<br />
the nesting penguins.’’<br />
Ms Ellis said people can still access<br />
the beach at Shag Rock from the<br />
Coastal Pathway but they should use<br />
the access stairs, which are located<br />
a bit further along the path towards<br />
Sumner.<br />
The city council gained consent to<br />
place the rocks in January and was<br />
not required to notify the public.<br />
But Redcliffs resident Pat McIntosh<br />
said she believed the city council<br />
should have told the public what it<br />
was doing.<br />
“It came as a bit of a surprise.”<br />
The city council has been<br />
contacted five times by 11 different<br />
people over the boulders – one of<br />
those was a complaint.<br />
Meanwhile, the city council<br />
and Environment Canterbury are<br />
currently investigating options to<br />
address the issue of rock spoil which<br />
has come to the surface of<br />
the sand near Shag Rock following<br />
the construction of the Coastal<br />
Pathway.<br />

THE MYSTERY of why<br />
boulders appeared near Shag<br />
Rock has been solved (see<br />
page 1).<br />
The 15 boulders will help<br />
protect white-flippered penguins<br />
during their nesting<br />
season from dogs and people.<br />
Nesting boxes were<br />
included in the Coastal<br />
pathway embankment but<br />
more protection has been<br />
deemed necessary – hence<br />
the boulders.<br />
The penguins nest and<br />
breed between August and<br />
February.<br />
White-flippered penguins<br />
are acutely threatened so very<br />
good care needs to be taken<br />
for their protection.<br />
So it’s great to see the city<br />
council doing its bit.<br />
And for Joe Public – stay<br />
away and keep your dog on<br />
a lead if you are near Shag<br />
Rock.<br />
That could be easier said<br />
than done, I suspect.<br />

Funding decisions on projects due<br />
• By Jess Gibson<br />
TWO HERITAGE buildings<br />
in the <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News area<br />
could be getting a spruce up<br />
with help from the city council.<br />
Decisions will be made tomorrow<br />
over a $4872 grant towards<br />
works on<br />
Akaroa Lighthouse,<br />
and a<br />
$13,549 grant<br />
towards the<br />
painting of 2<br />
Cunningham<br />
Tce, Lyttelton.<br />
Tori Peden<br />
Both grants<br />
would cover<br />
50 per cent of<br />
the funds needed to complete<br />
each project.<br />
Banks Peninsula Community<br />
Board chairwoman Tori<br />
Peden said having the heritage<br />
landmarks being protected and<br />
taken care of is important.<br />
“It would keep the character<br />
and keep our history. We’ve got<br />
to tell the story of these heritage<br />
structures and how the history<br />
of our people came to be.”<br />
Akaroa’s Lighthouse Preservation<br />
Society applied for funding<br />
to carry out maintenance,<br />
conservation, and display of the<br />
original clockwork mechanism<br />
and machinery of the structure<br />
on Beach Rd.<br />
The heritage item is New<br />
Zealand’s only operating decommissioned<br />
lighthouse and<br />
one of a very limited number of<br />
lighthouses in the world which is<br />
regularly open to the public.<br />
The lighthouse, constructed<br />
RESTORATION: Decisions will be made<br />
tomorrow over two grants which would be<br />
used for works on Akaroa Lighthouse and<br />

in 1878, is run entirely by<br />
the community volunteers of<br />
the LPS, which is reliant on<br />
donations and grants to support<br />
their work and maintain the<br />
structure.<br />
A separate report by Resource<br />
Management Group Ltd<br />
recommends the approval of a<br />
grant to paint the building at<br />
2 Cunningham Tce, Lyttelton,<br />
which was built in the 1870s.<br />
The recommended grant<br />
would pay for part of the proposed<br />
works to the property,<br />
which has high historical and<br />
social significance for its association<br />
with prominent Canterbury<br />
businessmen and civic figures<br />
John Thomas Peacock and Peter<br />
Cunningham.<br />
In a slightly later period, the<br />
house has significance for its<br />
use as a boarding house, and for<br />
the long period of ownership<br />
and occupation by the Robson-<br />
Merrifield family.<br />
It reflects a characteristic<br />
feature of Lyttelton life through<br />
to the mid-20th-century, where<br />
properties were commonly<br />
retained in and passed down<br />
through families over multiple<br />
generations.<br />
In Brief<br />
CRASH SITE INVESTIGATION<br />
City council traffic engineers<br />
and police were set yesterday<br />
to investigate a fatal crash on<br />
Summit Rd. It would focus on the<br />
role road infrastructure played in<br />
a <strong>May</strong> 19 crash where Anthony<br />
Deverson, 78, of Wigram, died<br />
after his car went over a bank<br />
about 1km from Evans Pass Rd.<br />
The city council is also looking<br />
at road safety improvements<br />
for a different section of the<br />
road following the death of<br />
sisters Tayla, 17, and Sunmara<br />
Alexander, 15, in a crash last year.<br />
FUNDS FOR PATHWAY<br />
Funding has been secured for a<br />
project which will see the Moncks<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> section of the Coastal<br />
Pathway temporarily widened to<br />
enable social distancing. The city<br />
council has received more than<br />
$80,000 from the Government<br />
to pay for the project, as well as<br />
another one in the central city<br />
which involves putting temporary<br />
measures in place at pedestrian<br />
and cycling pinch points.<br />
JETTY BEAM REPLACEMENTS<br />
Two rotten beams and one rotten<br />
pile will be replaced at Redcliffs<br />
Jetty, off Beachville Rd. The<br />
jetty will be closed and unusable<br />
during the maintenance period,<br />
which is scheduled to take place<br />
from June 2 to June 19.<br />

Online book<br />
initiative for seniors<br />
AN ONLINE book programme has<br />
been set up with older Cantabrians<br />
in mind, aiming to maintain social<br />
interaction with others while physically<br />
distanced.<br />
Campfire - Stories Read Aloud for<br />
Adults was created by the city council’s<br />
libraries staff, featuring a fresh chapter<br />
read by librarians from a book every<br />
Wednesday and Friday.<br />
City council head of libraries and<br />
information Carolyn Robertson said<br />
library staff produced the programme<br />
with “our older adult community in<br />
mind and in collaboration with Age<br />
Concern.”<br />
“It is a story time for seniors as we<br />
help ensure that our older library users<br />
remain engaged during the lockdown,”<br />
she said.<br />
“We believe<br />
Campfire can boost<br />
well-being for older<br />
adults and bring a<br />
fresh face – and voice<br />
– to their day. They<br />
can watch and listen<br />
to our librarians as<br />
they read aloud.<br />
Ms Robertson<br />
said for many older<br />
people who have enjoyed books, listening<br />
to another voice can bring comfort in<br />
connection.<br />
“Some may have also lost the ability to<br />
read because of poor eyesight or physical<br />
impairments. We want to hold on to that<br />
social interaction and love of books.”<br />
Age Concern Canterbury chief<br />
executive Simon Templeton has<br />
welcomed the story time programme,<br />
describing Campfire as “a great<br />
initiative.”<br />
“Older people are often avid readers,<br />
so any programme that enables people<br />
to stay connected with their library, with<br />
others and with reading is great,” Mr<br />
Templeton said.<br />
“Some specific groups will benefit,<br />
including those with vision impairment,<br />
dexterity issues, or the housebound. I<br />
think this type of programme will grow<br />
in popularity as the population ages.<br />
“I see it as a daily part of residential<br />
care therapy for rest home residents, and<br />
the means to have a ‘book club’ for those<br />
who can’t read.<br />
“While many older people do not use<br />
the internet, there is a large number who<br />
do – and this is growing,” he said.<br />
Anyone can access Campfire via the<br />
libraries’ website.<br />
Stabilisation work<br />
on slip under way<br />
• By Jess Gibson<br />
Carolyn<br />
Robertson<br />
A NEW retaining wall is being installed<br />
on Wainui Main Rd in French Farm to<br />
stabilise a localised slip which happened<br />
early last year.<br />
As well as building the retaining wall,<br />
city council contractors will carry out<br />
a partial reconstruction of the road,<br />
minor drainage works and associated<br />
civil works.<br />
The cost of the remediation work will<br />
cost between $250,000 and $<strong>27</strong>5,0000.<br />
There will be some noise disturbance<br />
during the work, which will be carried<br />
out from 7am to 7pm, Monday to<br />
Saturday, and the road will be reduced<br />
to one lane.<br />
For residents on Wainui Main Rd,<br />
bins are to be put out as usual before<br />
6am on the set collection day and the<br />
crew will move and return them.<br />

Black Cat retains ferry contract<br />
Phil Clearwater<br />
BLACK CAT Cruises will<br />
continue to connect Diamond<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> with Lyttelton by<br />
sailing across the harbour for<br />
another 12 years.<br />
The company, which has been<br />
operating the Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
ferry service since 2000, has<br />
retained its contract by completing<br />
Environment Canterbury’s<br />
public transport procurement<br />
process.<br />
Transport<br />
portfolio lead<br />
councillor<br />
Phil Clearwater<br />
said that<br />
ECan is looking<br />
forward to<br />
continuing its<br />
partnership with Black Cat.<br />
Together they are still looking<br />
at options to get a new, lowemission<br />
vessel as the current<br />
ferry is nearing end of life.<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News reported in<br />
October they aimed to have the<br />
new vessel in service by 2021 but<br />
Cr Clearwater said it may now<br />
be another year out.<br />
“It’s slower than myself or<br />
Black Cat would desire but<br />
equally they are working on it as<br />
hard as they can.<br />
“As we investigate options<br />
for a new vessel, top of mind<br />
will be our community’s desire<br />
for a low-emission public<br />
transport fleet, something we<br />
heard resoundingly through our<br />
Regional Public Transport Plan<br />
consultation.<br />
He said over the next two<br />
years, ECan will work alongside<br />
Black Cat to make an informed<br />
decision on the propulsion system<br />
of a new ferry.<br />
“This will include closely<br />
watching the results of other<br />
electric ferry implementations as<br />
they progress, as well as engaging<br />
with local Canterbury boat<br />
builders.”<br />
The new contract allows for essential<br />
maintenance work to be<br />
undertaken on the current ferry<br />
so it can continue operating for<br />
the next few years, while plans<br />
and costs for a new vessel are<br />
finalised.<br />
Cr Clearwater said the contract<br />
period has been extended<br />
SMOOTH SAILING:<br />

HUNTER<br />
from nine years to 12 years and<br />
will start from November this<br />
year.<br />
“The first two years will see<br />
the contract price remain as it is<br />
now, except to accommodate the<br />
critical maintenance work on the<br />
current vessel. The remaining 10<br />
years will reflect the new vessel<br />
build and running costs.<br />
'The feasibility work done so<br />
far indicates that the cost of an<br />
electric vessel could be similar to<br />
a diesel-powered vessel, so if we<br />
can be confident that an electric<br />
vessel can meet the requirements<br />
of the service then we will<br />
commission one.”<br />
Boy racer<br />
numbers reach<br />
pre-Covid levels<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
POLICE ARE disappointed<br />
the number of boy racers in<br />
Lyttelton has increased to pre-<br />
Covid-19 levels since level 2<br />
started.<br />
Canterbury road policing<br />
manager Inspector Greg Cottam<br />
said extra police were on patrol<br />
over the weekend and saw an<br />
increase in the number of boy<br />
racers compared to during alert<br />
level 3.<br />
“We’re seeing them popping<br />
up in the normal spots, at the<br />
airport and over in Lyttelton<br />
way.<br />
“Everything’s probably<br />
returning to normal, which is<br />
disappointing because we still<br />
want people behaving. The<br />
reality is that Covid is still<br />
here.<br />
“We have seen more activity<br />
from that sort of community,”<br />
he said<br />
Inspector Cottam said it is<br />
important drivers take the rules<br />
of level 2 seriously and police<br />
will be there to enforce them if<br />
they do not.<br />
“We’ll be enforcing the<br />
restrictions that are set down for<br />
that, along with any breaches of<br />
the Land Transport Act.”<br />

Concerns problem gambling<br />
could rise under Covid-19 climate<br />
With financial hardship<br />
and unemployment<br />
on the rise as a result<br />
of the Covid-19 crisis,<br />
could problem gambling<br />
follow suit? Louis Day<br />
investigates<br />
THE NUMBER of people on<br />
the job seeker benefit across<br />
Canterbury rose by 4.8 per cent<br />
last month compared to the same<br />
period last year.<br />
The situation is likely to worsen<br />
with the city’s economic development<br />
agency ChristchurchNZ<br />
forecasting<br />
up to 36,500<br />
jobs will be<br />
lost across the<br />
region over<br />
the next 12<br />
months.<br />
A recent<br />
Dr Ekant Veer<br />
survey from<br />
the Canterbury<br />
Employers’<br />
Chamber of Commerce<br />
showed 63 per cent out of 470<br />
businesses across the region were<br />
experiencing “significant financial<br />
impacts” from Covid-19. The<br />
survey also showed 30 per cent<br />
of businesses believed their staffing<br />
numbers would have to be<br />
reduced by more than 25 per cent<br />
in order to survive.<br />
Canterbury University professor<br />
of marketing Dr Ekant Veer,<br />
who closely studies social change<br />
and consumption patterns, said<br />
research showed there was a link<br />
between problem gambling and<br />
financial hardship.<br />
“We know that people who<br />
are facing financial hardship in<br />
general, not necessarily who are<br />
unemployed, are more likely to<br />
gamble. As we see a society in<br />
where everyone’s incomes are<br />
taking a hit we may see gambling<br />
rise as a result of that,” he said.<br />
Statistics show gambling in<br />
New Zealand has been on a<br />
steady incline for the last nine<br />
years.<br />
SPIKE: The financial hardship brought on by Covid-19 restrictions and economic downturn is<br />
expected to bring a spike in problem gambling.<br />
PHOTO: GETTY<br />
In 2011 New Zealanders spent<br />
$2 billion on gambling. Last<br />
year it had increased to $2.4 billion.<br />
The most popular form of<br />
gambling last year was gaming<br />
machines outside of casinos at<br />
$924 million which was followed<br />
by the $616 million spent inside<br />
of casinos.<br />
Salvation Army Oasis Centre<br />
for Problem Gambling team<br />
leader Graham Payne expected to<br />
see a spike in gambling as restrictions<br />
eased, with a particular<br />
concern over pokie machines<br />
within pubs and bars. He has<br />
helped problem gamblers with<br />
their addictions since 1992.<br />
“When people who have got<br />
gambling issues haven’t done it<br />
for a while there is going to be<br />
that catch-up phase, that is how<br />
they operate, ‘I haven’t done it for<br />
a while I need to catch up I have<br />
saved all this money.’ I feel that<br />
issues could really increase over<br />
the first three to six months with<br />
the pubs reopening,” he said.<br />
Mr Payne had also witnessed<br />
an increase in online gambling<br />
over the lockdown period and<br />
expected it to continue even as<br />
other forms of gambling are<br />
made available.<br />
He said early signs of gambling<br />
becoming an addiction were that<br />
Andrée<br />
Froude<br />
you were spending more time<br />
and money gambling than<br />
intended, starting to lie about<br />
your behaviour, constantly<br />
thinking about<br />
gambling,<br />
chasing your<br />
losses, isolating<br />
yourself from<br />
loved ones and<br />
blaming others<br />
for your problems.<br />

pokie machines.<br />
“Pokies are the most harmful<br />
form of gambling in New<br />
Zealand. The majority of people<br />
that seek help for a gambling<br />
problem do so because of pokie<br />
machines,” she said.<br />
The foundation is currently<br />
urging the Government to cut<br />
back the country’s pokie machines<br />
in coalition with The<br />
Salvation Army and Māori health<br />
agency Hapai te Hauora.<br />
Ms Froude said the main reason<br />
behind this was to reduce the<br />
reliance community groups have<br />
on grants from pokie trusts,<br />
but also to reduce gamblingrelated<br />
harm across the country.<br />
A letter from the coalition to<br />
Internal Affairs Minister Tracey<br />
Martin said the Government<br />
could easily replace the $242<br />
million worth of pokie grants<br />
from within its own funds and<br />
argued the shutdown of pubs<br />
and pokie machines due to the<br />
pandemic presented a “golden<br />
opportunity” for an overhaul of<br />
the system.<br />

Your Local Views<br />
Readers respond to<br />
last week’s article<br />
about Foodstuffs<br />
South Island’s decision<br />
to transform Redcliffs<br />
New World into a Four<br />
Square<br />
Julia Pringle – I am<br />
still disappointed that New<br />
World will now become a<br />
Four Square. I will likely<br />
go to another New World<br />
instead.<br />
Ann Newsom – I think<br />
it may backfire on them actually,<br />
I’ve spoken to quite<br />
a number of people who<br />
have said they’re not going<br />
to be shopping there if it’s<br />
going to be a Four Square. I<br />
wouldn’t do a weekly shop<br />
there now, like I have been.<br />
Helen Peate – I do<br />
all my grocery shopping<br />
at Redcliffs New World as<br />
do many of my friends. Nowhere<br />
have I read or heard<br />
the reason that it is more<br />
financially viable for the<br />
name to change from New<br />
World to Four Square. Both<br />
are owned by Foodstuffs.<br />
So why the name change<br />
and reduction in staff<br />
numbers? Are we going to<br />
get less choice and cheaper<br />
products or a reduction in<br />
service? Why has there not<br />
been an explanation?<br />
Michaela Hicks – I<br />
read the article in the newspaper<br />
about the transition<br />
for Redcliffs New World to<br />
become a Four Square. As<br />
a previous employee there,<br />
I think that a rebrand is<br />
good for the store as it is<br />
not turning over a sustainable<br />
income. However,<br />
I would’ve thought they<br />
could rebrand it to a mini<br />
Pak’n’ Save like they have<br />
at Levin, as it would be of<br />
good size, and the prices<br />
would be cheaper. I think<br />
because Four Square is<br />
more expensive than a New<br />
World it may not thrive as<br />
people may go to another<br />
supermarket.<br />

ONE OF the more<br />
colourful native birds seen<br />
around the estuary is the<br />
welcome swallow or warou.<br />
In fact, people are often<br />
surprised the swallow’s<br />
appearance when they see<br />
a photo as there are not<br />
many opportunities to see<br />
them close up.<br />
But large flocks are<br />
common on the edges<br />
of the estuary and<br />
particularly around the<br />
oxidation ponds when<br />
they are erratically darting<br />
above the water to catch<br />
midgets.<br />
Elsewhere they will also<br />
feed on flies, moths and<br />
other small insects.<br />
Did you know that the<br />
swallow even drinks water<br />
in flight? They swoop up<br />
water as they fly above the<br />
ponds or estuary.<br />
The swallow is also one of<br />
few bird species that sleep<br />
or rest in flight as they<br />
prefer to stay airborne 24/7<br />
BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY<br />
Tanya Jenkins is the manager of the Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai<br />
Trust, a non-profit organisation formed in 2002 to protect one of<br />
New Zealand’s most important coastal wetlands. Each week she<br />
introduces a new bird found in the estuary. Her column aims to raise<br />
the understanding of the values and uniqueness of the area.<br />
Swallow likes to be airborne<br />

Estuary.<br />

unless they are nesting.<br />
They only reach the age<br />
of about six years, but they<br />
sure make the most of<br />
their time by producing<br />
two, sometimes even three<br />
clutches of eggs per season.<br />
The female will incubate<br />
the eggs alone but feeding<br />
the chicks is a shared<br />
task with help from other<br />
swallow family members.<br />
It is so lovely to see how<br />
some bird species use this<br />
combined effort and share<br />
the load of chick feeding<br />
duties.<br />
The other notable fact<br />
is how the swallow has<br />
adapted so cleverly to<br />
civilisation and now prefers<br />
to build their cup-shaped<br />
nests under the eaves of<br />
homes away from direct<br />
sunlight, or under bridges<br />
or culverts.<br />
The swallow is another<br />
truly stunning and amazing<br />
bird in our estuary<br />
worth looking after - so<br />
how can we help them to<br />
thrive?<br />
Predator control, picking<br />
up litter when we see it and<br />
of course, keeping our dogs<br />
on the lead. Luckily the<br />
city council has established<br />
great dog parks all around<br />
the city so no excuse to<br />
let dogs roam around our<br />
estuary.<br />

Tasty Bites<br />
Quick and easy fried rice<br />
• By Ian Knott<br />
Quick, easy and versatile,<br />
fried rice can be used<br />
as a side dish or main<br />
meal. This tasty version is<br />
loaded with vegetables<br />
and can be transformed<br />
into something even<br />
greater by adding your<br />
favourite protein<br />
The best fried rice<br />
4-6 servings<br />
Ingredients<br />
3 tbsp butter, divided<br />
2 eggs, whisked<br />
2 medium carrots, peeled, diced<br />
1 small white onion, diced<br />
½ cup frozen peas<br />
3 cloves garlic, minced<br />
salt and black pepper<br />
4 cups cooked and chilled rice<br />
3 green onions, thinly sliced<br />
3-4 tbsp soy sauce<br />
2 tsp oyster sauce (optional)<br />
½ tsp toasted sesame oil<br />
Directions<br />
Heat ½ tbsp of butter in a large<br />
sauté pan over medium-high<br />
heat until melted. Add egg, and<br />
cook until scrambled, stirring<br />
occasionally. Remove egg, and transfer<br />
to a separate plate.<br />
Add an additional 1 tbsp of butter<br />
to the pan and heat until melted. Add<br />
carrots, onion, peas, garlic, and season<br />
with a generous pinch of salt and<br />
pepper. Sauté for about 5min or until<br />
the onion and carrots are soft. Increase<br />
heat to high, add in the remaining ½<br />
tbsp of butter, and stir until melted.<br />
Immediately add the rice, green onions,<br />
soy sauce and oyster sauce (if using),<br />
and stir until combined. Continue stirring<br />
for an additional 3min to fry the rice.<br />
Then add in the eggs and stir to combine.<br />
Remove from heat, and stir in the sesame<br />
oil until combined. Taste and season with<br />
extra soy sauce, if needed.<br />
Serve immediately, or refrigerate in a<br />
sealed container for up to 3 days.<br />
Top tips<br />
It’s important to use cold, cooked rice.<br />
So plan ahead and have some prepared.<br />
Warm rice doesn’t tend to fry well when<br />
it hits the hot pan and becomes soggy,<br />
sticky clumps.<br />
If you haven’t planned ahead, just<br />
cook up a fresh batch of rice, spread it<br />
out as thinly as possible on a backing<br />
tray and put it in the fridge for 30min<br />
(or freezer for 10-15min).<br />
Use a high heat. This will help<br />
brown the rice and vegetables, and<br />
prevent the rice from steaming in<br />
the pan. Don’t leave it sitting too<br />
long though. Nobody wants burnt<br />
fried rice.<br />

by Jazz thornton<br />
A hard-hitting, thought-provoking account of surviving suicide attempts<br />
and moving on to a better life, which provides practical help and<br />
inspiration to anyone affected by depression or suicide. Jazz Thornton first<br />
attempted to take her own life at the age of 12. Multiple attempts followed<br />
and she spent time in psychiatric wards and under medical supervision as<br />
she rode the rollercoaster of depression and anxiety through her teenage<br />
years - yet the attempts continued. Find out what Jazz learned about<br />
how her negative thought patterns came to be, and how she turned those<br />
thoughts - and her life - around. Who and what helped, and what didn’t<br />
help. The insights she gives will help create greater understanding of those<br />
grappling with mental illness, and provide support for those around them<br />
who desperately want to help. Jazz went on to attend film school, and to co-found Voices of Hope, a<br />
non-profit organisation dedicated to helping those with mental health issues and show them there is<br />
a way forward. She creates online content to provide hope and help.<br />

Chardonnay a true<br />
peach of a grape<br />
• By Mark Henderson<br />
A HUGE number of<br />
variables can influence<br />
the retail price of a bottle<br />
of wine, including the<br />
amount and consequent<br />
cost of viticultural and<br />
winemaker input, yield per<br />
hectare, oak usage, scarcity,<br />
demand, market position<br />
and market forces.<br />
Today’s collection of<br />
chardonnays covers the<br />
gamut of pricing from<br />
widely available value-formoney<br />
offerings through<br />
to scarce, limited-release<br />
bottlings.<br />
It’s a reminder of the<br />
variety of styles produced<br />
with this grape that can<br />
certainly offer something<br />
for everyone.<br />

charry notes dominate<br />
the palate, while the fruit<br />
has a sweet ’n’ sour zing to<br />
it. No doubting the fruit<br />
intensity, and possibly<br />
crowd appeal, but the<br />
apricot kernel bittersweet<br />
note masks the finish for<br />
me.<br />

Brooding nose offering<br />

Lifted nose with<br />
(West’s) pineapple & pear,<br />
fruit sherbet and melon.<br />
There’s a cool wellspring<br />
filling the palate led by<br />
nectarine hints, though<br />
with riper pineapple and<br />
topical fruit seasoned with<br />
oak as the wine aerates.<br />
Creamy texture, notable<br />
viscosity, with power and<br />

Price: $24.99<br />
Rating: Very good to<br />
excellent<br />
Fruit jubes and ripe<br />
pears lead, evolving<br />
to peach, spices and<br />
perfumed oak. An oily<br />
richness frames the palate.<br />
Peach and stonefruits flow<br />
through the palate to a<br />
lightly tannic, long nutty<br />
finish. The bright acidity<br />
adds a lemony hint and<br />
freshness. Youthful, but<br />
already drinking very<br />
nicely.<br />

MERCEDES-Benz has a huge<br />
range of sport utility vehicles.<br />
That is no surprise, the market<br />
is demanding cars that cater for<br />
many roles – family transport as<br />
well as practicality.<br />
The most popular SUV in the<br />
luxury car maker’s range is the<br />
GLC and, not surprisingly, it is<br />
available in a series which accounts<br />
for eight variants. There<br />
is a petrol-electric hybrid model,<br />
a plug-in EV, and those with<br />
the choice of four, six or eightcylinder<br />
engines; there’s even a<br />
two-wheel-drive model.<br />
However, most incorporate the<br />
4Matic system which sends drive<br />
to each corner.<br />
It must also be noted that the<br />
GLC is a series which incorporates<br />
coupe-type models as well<br />
as the traditional SUV.<br />
The entire GLC range has just<br />
had a bit of a refresh, there’s been<br />
a styling change, and buyers now<br />
have the choice of varying suspension<br />
types, depending on how<br />
the vehicle will be used, and the<br />
surfaces it is likely to travel on, on<br />
a daily basis.<br />
The range spans prices from<br />
$87,600 to $187,400.<br />
The vehicle this evaluation focuses<br />
on is GLC 300, a mid-range<br />
SUV which lists at $102,500 in<br />
standard form.<br />
The 300 effectively replaces<br />
the 250 from a year or two back.<br />
Put simply, the four-cylinder<br />
turbocharged petrol engine has<br />
had a power and torque increase,<br />
up from 155kW and 350Nm to<br />
190kW and 370Nm.<br />
The increase doesn’t affect the<br />
silent and smooth operation of<br />
the 2-litre, four cylinder unit. It is<br />
a high-performing engine but it<br />
does everything without making<br />
a fuss, it searches the rev band<br />
well but works fluidly through<br />
the mid-range, maximum torque<br />
arrives at 1800rpm and spreads to<br />
4000rpm, and with peak power<br />
arriving at just 5800rpm there is<br />
no drop-off in performance.<br />
A lot of that is also garnered<br />
through the seamless flow of<br />
gearing courtesy of a nine-speed<br />
automatic transmission.<br />
This engine is a powerhouse<br />
through the whole acceleration<br />
process, it will cut out a standstill<br />
to 100km/h time of 6.1sec, and<br />
will make 120km/h from 80km/h<br />
in 3.8sec. Steering wheel-mounted<br />
paddle shifters will assist the<br />
driver if he/she decides to take<br />
control over the acceleration<br />
process.<br />

Many options in Mercedes-Benz GLC range<br />
MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300: Boost in power for <strong>2020</strong>.<br />
It wouldn’t be a world-class<br />
engine unless you get the benefits<br />
of thrifty fuel usage, and that is<br />
certainly the case in the 300. It<br />
is rated by Mercedes-Benz with<br />
an 8.1-litre per 100km combined<br />
cycle average.<br />
These figures are all quite<br />
remarkable for a vehicle which<br />
weighs in a little tubby at 1804kg,<br />
but the point is that the engineering<br />
which is coming out of<br />
European factories at the moment<br />
is at the forefront of technology,<br />
and the GLC is just one example<br />
of performance and economy all<br />
rolled into one.<br />
Time was a little against me on<br />
the day I went testing and I didn’t<br />
venture as far as I would normally<br />
travel in an evaluation car. However,<br />
on the roads west heading<br />
home through Burnham and Lincoln<br />
I got a thorough understanding<br />
of the GLC’s behaviour on<br />
the seal, and I enjoyed its nimble<br />
and agile nature given that it is a<br />
mid-size SUV.<br />
Riding on huge 20in Pirelli rubber,<br />
there is positive steering feel<br />
and unyielding grip.<br />
As you would expect from<br />
Mercedes-Benz, the GLC is full<br />
of luxury appointments, it has<br />
the kit to make you feel you<br />
have bought a lot of car, and it is<br />
intensely comfortable to ride in,<br />
even for five occupants.<br />
One of the standout features<br />
is the voice recognition operating<br />
system which takes command<br />
over many of the in-cabin<br />
functions. By opening with “hey<br />
Mercedes’’ you can instruct the<br />
vehicle to do many of the adjustments<br />
you would normally do by<br />
hand. This could well be seen as a<br />
safety device allowing the driver’s<br />
hands to remain on the steering<br />
wheel and to keep concentration<br />

Safety has been at the forefront<br />
of Mercedes-Benz’s manufacturing<br />
operation for as long as I can<br />
remember, and the company’s<br />
entire range has a high ingredient<br />
of built-in-safety features. The<br />
GLC is brimming with all the<br />
electronic functions which are<br />
not far from offering autonomous<br />
operation.<br />
Some of them I could do without,<br />
but the automotive world is<br />
demanding vehicles intervene<br />
on their own accord if collisions<br />
seem imminent and Mercedes-<br />
Benz has answered that call.<br />
The GLC is just another<br />
example of what make<br />
Mercedes-Benz so desirable as<br />
a manufacturer. The company<br />
has recognised that buyers want<br />
plenty of choice and the GLC<br />
coupe and SUV options are<br />
extensive.<br />
Personally, I’d be opting for<br />
the 63 S, just the thought of that<br />
thundering V8 under the bonnet<br />
is enough to make my heart race.<br />
