tourism<br />

soars but<br />

challenge<br />

remains<br />

• By Bea Gooding<br />

AKAROA BUSINESSES are<br />

pleased by tourism’s return but<br />

some fear the worst may yet come.<br />

Many retail, hospitality and accommodation<br />

providers reported<br />

a better <strong>July</strong> compared to last year,<br />

buoyed by local tourists emerging<br />

from lockdown.<br />

However, the prospect of<br />

operating without international<br />

tourists sparked concern.<br />

Bully Hayes Restaurant and Bar<br />

owner Wayne Jones said business<br />

bounced back to pre-Covid 19<br />

levels, and was 5 per cent better<br />

than last year.<br />

Eased travel restrictions, then<br />

the winter school holidays, meant<br />

the village bustled during a traditionally<br />

quiet time of the year.<br />

Seventy per cent of the market<br />

in Akaroa was domestic, but it<br />

would be a “big hole to fill” the<br />

absence of international visitors,<br />

he said.<br />

Things would be “very difficult”<br />

before Christmas. The loss of the<br />

government’s wage subsidy may<br />

have an impact, he said.<br />

Surf event honours ‘kind-hearted’ man<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

THE SINGLE Fin Mingle<br />

surfing event in Sumner over the<br />

weekend honoured a special past<br />

contributor who died last year<br />

after a battle with mental illness.<br />

Event<br />

organiser,<br />

Ambrose<br />

McNeill’s<br />

brother<br />

Abraham<br />

McNeill, who<br />

Ambrose<br />

McNeill<br />

Abraham<br />

McNeill<br />

was from<br />

Sumner, died<br />

in November<br />

aged 38.<br />

Abraham<br />

was a talented<br />

jazz musician<br />

who played<br />

at a number<br />

of Single Fin<br />

Mingle’s since<br />

the event<br />

began in 2015.<br />

Ambrose<br />

used this year’s event to spread<br />

awareness of mental health and<br />

the need for alternative treatments<br />

by handing out “Abrahands”<br />

stickers with hands reaching out<br />

to each other on them for a small<br />

donation.<br />

It has not been decided exactly<br />

where the money raised will be<br />

donated but Ambrose said it will<br />

CELEBRATION: The Single Fin Mingle event over the weekend featured surfing<br />

competitions, live music, surfing movies and an art exhibition.<br />

go towards an alternative mental<br />

health therapy.<br />

Said Ambrose: “One thing<br />

Abe was pretty passionate about<br />

was that there needs to be an<br />

alternative to treating mental<br />

health than there is at this point<br />

in time.<br />

“For me personally, and for<br />

my family, the event was pretty<br />

important and it will be every<br />

year for our healing and grieving<br />

of my brother.<br />

“Abe was involved with the<br />

event and would play music at<br />

the Single Fin Mingle and he was<br />

definitely still a part of the fabric<br />

this year and we felt his presence<br />

throughout and we had it pretty<br />

beautiful. I think he turned on<br />

the weather for us, that’s for<br />

sure,” he said<br />

Ambrose said Abraham was<br />

a “gorgeous, kind-hearted,<br />

loving man.”<br />

“[He was] an extremely gifted<br />

musician, talented musician. He<br />

played jazz guitar and would play<br />

at the Single Fin Mingle on our<br />

opening night and prizegiving<br />

most years.<br />

“He wasn’t so much a surfer<br />

himself like me but he’d grown<br />

up by the beach here in Sumner<br />

and everyone that knew him met<br />

a special human,” said Ambrose.<br />

This year’s Single Fin Mingle<br />

event itself included longboard<br />

surfing competitions, live music,<br />

surfing movies, and an art<br />

exhibition.<br />

Challenge<br />

for Akaroa<br />

• From page 1<br />

“The worst is still to come, we’re<br />

in a nice, honeymoon period<br />

but next year the hurt will really<br />

start. All support will disappear,<br />

there will be more job losses and<br />

businesses gone.<br />

“Some businesses don’t think<br />

that far ahead and only think to<br />

next week - you can’t plan like<br />

that. You’ve got to look six to eight<br />

months ahead and make plans to<br />

survive on domestic tourism until<br />

at least the end of next winter.”<br />

Just Souvenirs shop owner<br />

Graham Toner said demand was<br />

“nothing out of the ordinary for<br />

winter”. Not having cruise ships<br />

over summer would “put a huge<br />

dent” in summer trading.<br />

“It will be very difficult, so we’re<br />

rearranging business to mitigate<br />

that by aiming our products at Kiwis<br />

rather than overseas tourists.”<br />

Akaroa Village Inn owner<br />

Darren Angus said Kiwi travellers<br />

were “doing us proud,” with<br />

demand tracking better than <strong>July</strong><br />

last year.<br />

Akaroa District Promotions<br />

chairman Kevin Parthonnaud<br />

was pleased to see visitors from<br />

Canterbury, the West Coast and<br />

the North Island.<br />

“Demand has been good, the<br />

weekends seem to be fairly busy.<br />

Accommodation properties are<br />

reporting that weekends are<br />

busier than previous winters.”<br />

Lyttelton resident<br />

vying for Selwyn<br />

• By Devon Bolger<br />

BANKS Peninsula<br />

Community Board member<br />

Reuben Davidson is making<br />

a bid to be the next MP in<br />

Selwyn.<br />

“I can see in Selwyn, there<br />

is a large group of people who<br />

think they could be better<br />

served and so that is what<br />

motivated me to put my hand<br />

up and accept that challenge,”<br />

he said.<br />

“People who have traditionally<br />

voted for National can really<br />

see that the plan Labour<br />

has to recover and rebuild is<br />

going to be good for Selwyn<br />

as well as New Zealand.”<br />

The 42-year-old lives in<br />

Lyttelton and has been on the<br />

Banks Peninsula Community<br />

Board since last year.<br />

At the last election in 2017,<br />

Labour candidate for Selwyn<br />

Tony Condon received 20.77<br />

per cent of the votes against<br />

current Selwyn MP Amy<br />

Adams 65.86 per cent.<br />

Davidson said he would<br />

move to Selwyn if he happened<br />

to win the seat or<br />

becomes a Labour list MP. He<br />

is currently ranked 67th on<br />

the Labour list.<br />

He will still keep his role on<br />

the community board if he is<br />

elected.<br />

Davidson works as a series<br />

producer at Whitebait Media<br />

where he has been for 15 years.<br />

Most recently he created<br />

the T.V show Fanimals but he<br />

helped to produce What Now<br />

for seven years.<br />

Davidson said his time with<br />

the community board proved<br />

his passion for politics.<br />

“I have loved it so far. The<br />

work I have done through my<br />

life and also really recently at<br />

a community level has really<br />

motivated me to get more<br />

involved at a political level.”<br />

He said a key value for him<br />

is hard work.<br />

“I got my first job by the time<br />

I was 14, working at Espresso<br />

124 on the terrace. I lived within<br />

walking distance of school<br />

but I’d bus into the city to work<br />

starting at about 6.30am and<br />

then bus back for school.”<br />

Lifesaving device just a precaution<br />

THE SUMNER Tennis and<br />

Squash Club has bought a<br />

defibrillator – and it hopes it<br />

may never have to use it.<br />

The lifesaving machine can be<br />

taken offsite, is effectively fully<br />

automatic, and will be available<br />

for use in the community.<br />

Confirming the details, club<br />

president Glenn Seymour said<br />

it was installed at the club and<br />

could found using the AED<br />

locator app.<br />

Club membership “tends<br />

toward an older demographic,<br />

and although we hope the<br />

machine is never used, it may<br />

be a lifesaver.”<br />

“We would also like to alert<br />

the wider Sumner community<br />

to the machine’s presence,” he<br />

said.<br />

“With our membership having<br />

grown substantially in the<br />

past two years there are people<br />

at the club a good deal of the<br />

time and we are also looking at<br />

ways of providing emergency<br />

access to the club grounds.”<br />

The defibrilator was bought<br />

with the help of SBS Bank,<br />

which sponsors the club’s<br />

Tuesday night business house<br />

competition.<br />

The official AED locations<br />

website lists eight defibrilator<br />

sites in Sumner and Taylors<br />

Mistake. Not all machines are<br />

available at all times.<br />

National success for junior cyclist<br />

ACCOMPLISHED<br />

junior cyclist Amelia<br />

Sykes distinguished<br />

herself at two national<br />

competitions during<br />

<strong>July</strong>, buoyed by the<br />

support of a local trust.<br />

The Sumner athlete<br />

won the U17 girls time<br />

trial at the Age Group National<br />

Road Cycling Championships<br />

Amelia Sykes<br />

at Waipukurau.<br />

It was her first national<br />

road cycling title<br />

and a welcome addition<br />

to her collection of<br />

national track titles.<br />

Amelia also finished<br />

10th in the U17 road<br />

race.<br />

Earlier in <strong>July</strong>, she competed<br />

in the National Track Cycling<br />

Series at Avantimore in Cambridge.<br />

She was the overall leader in<br />

the B grade women (all ages)<br />

with wins in the points race,<br />

elimination, tempo and madison<br />

finals<br />

The former ice speed skater,<br />

who recently turned 16, said<br />

the competition had been<br />

invaluable.<br />

“I have learned new things,<br />

getting back into track again<br />

and building my base, and<br />

it was a nice atmosphere and<br />

community there.”<br />

Amelia was supported by<br />

a grant from the Sumner<br />

THOUGHTFUL: Lyttelton Primary<br />

School pupil Arlo Withell hopes<br />

the seafarer who gets this bag of<br />

chips will soon see their family.<br />

Pupils send messages<br />

to ship-bound seafarers<br />

SCHOOLS<br />

“I HOPE you see your<br />

family soon.”<br />

That was the simple,<br />

heartfelt message written<br />

by a Lyttelton Primary<br />

School pupil to one of the<br />

many seafarers unable<br />

to disembark their ships<br />

during the Covid-19 pandemic.<br />

It was written on a<br />

sticky label, and stuck to<br />

the side of one of more<br />

than a hundred bags of<br />

chips donated by Nelsonbased<br />

Proper Crisps.<br />

The donation was<br />

secured by Andrea Solzer,<br />

a Lyttelton-based parent<br />

of three children at the<br />

school. The chips will be<br />

safely distributed by the<br />

Seafarers Mission.<br />

Donations from Whittaker’s<br />

chocolates will<br />

accompany a package<br />

she hoped would lift the<br />

spirits of seafarers caught<br />

in a difficult situation.<br />

“They cannot come<br />

ashore they cannot leave<br />

to see their families. This<br />

is all out of their hands,<br />

and that touched me, like<br />

it has for many others.”<br />

Many of the school’s<br />

children took time last<br />

week to write their own<br />

messages to the sailors,<br />

in an act teacher Francie<br />

Graham reflected one<br />

of the school’s values –<br />

empathy.<br />

BEST WISHES: Carmella de<br />

la Maza Macpherson with her<br />

message to a seafarer, carefully<br />

stuck to the back of a bag of chips.<br />

Solzer said the<br />

message idea was<br />

inspired by those written<br />

on some of the goods<br />

donated to Canterbury<br />

families in the wake of<br />

the February 22, 2011,<br />

earthquake.<br />

New Zealand’s Covid-19<br />

alert level 1 rules mean<br />

anyone entering the<br />

quarantine for 14 days<br />

general population.<br />

This effectively means<br />

short-stay visitors on<br />

board visiting ships<br />

cannot leave their vessels<br />

unless they have been<br />

in New Zealand for two<br />

weeks and have tested<br />

negative for Covid-19.<br />

Tasty Bites<br />

Sweet parsnips the perfect winter warmers<br />

If it’s a spicy parsnip soup<br />

you’re after, this curried<br />

parsnip soup is sure to<br />

deliver. This gently spiced<br />

soup recipe is made<br />

with cumin, coriander,<br />

turmeric and ginger. It<br />

really is a heart-warming<br />

bowl of goodness<br />

Curried parsnip soup<br />

6 servings<br />

Ingredients<br />

750g parsnips (about 6-7), peeled<br />

2 tbsp olive oil<br />

¼ tsp ground cumin<br />

1 tsp ground coriander<br />

¼ tsp ground turmeric<br />

1½ tsp ground ginger<br />

½ tsp chilli powder, plus extra<br />

1 large onion, finely chopped<br />

2 garlic cloves, crushed<br />

2 bay leaves<br />

1.3 litres fresh vegetable stock<br />

Fresh coriander leaves to serve<br />

Directions<br />

Heat the oven to 180 deg C/160<br />

deg C fan. Slice about 100g of<br />

the parsnips very thinly on a<br />

mandoline or using a sharp knife.<br />

Pat dry with kitchen paper, toss<br />

with 1 tbsp of the oil, the cumin<br />

and some salt and pepper, then<br />

spread out on a large baking<br />

sheet. Bake for 20-25min until<br />

crisp and golden at the edges.<br />

Meanwhile, put the rest of the<br />

ground spices in a small frying<br />

pan and toast for 1-2min over a<br />

medium heat until fragrant.<br />

Heat the remaining oil in a<br />

large saucepan over a mediumhigh<br />

heat and fry the onion<br />

for 7-8min until softening.<br />

Meanwhile, chop the rest<br />

of the parsnips. Add the garlic<br />

to the onion pan and cook for<br />

2min more. Add the toasted<br />

spices and bay leaves and stir for<br />

a minute, then add the chopped<br />

parsnips and stock. Bring to the<br />

boil, then turn down to a medium<br />

heat and cook for 30min until the<br />

parsnips are tender.<br />

HEART-WARMING: (Left)<br />

– Curried parsnip soup,<br />

roasted parsnip and<br />

garlic puree.<br />

Remove and discard the bay<br />

leaves, then whizz the soup<br />

using a stick blender (or in a<br />

blender with the cap removed and<br />

a folded tea towel held over to<br />

stop the hot soup exploding out)<br />

until smooth. Season to taste.<br />

Sprinkle with the parsnip<br />

crisps, extra chilli powder and a<br />

few coriander leaves to serve.<br />

Roasted parsnip and<br />

garlic puree<br />

4 servings<br />

Ingredients<br />

1kg parsnips, peeled and cut<br />

into 5cm pieces<br />

3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil,<br />

divided<br />

Salt and freshly ground black<br />

pepper<br />

1 head garlic<br />

¾ cup milk<br />

4 tbsp butter<br />

2 tsp thyme leaves<br />

Directions<br />

Preheat oven to 200 deg C.<br />

Place parsnips on a large baking<br />

sheet and drizzle with 2 tbsp oil.<br />

Season with salt and pepper. Cut<br />

off top of garlic head and drizzle<br />

with remaining 1 tbsp oil. Wrap<br />

tightly in foil and place on a<br />

baking sheet with parsnips. Bake<br />

until parsnips are very tender,<br />

40min. Garlic should be golden<br />

and very soft; if not, place back<br />

in oven and continue to bake<br />

another 15min. Set aside until<br />

cool enough to handle.<br />

Place parsnips into a large<br />

bowl or food processor. Squeeze<br />

each clove of garlic into bowl<br />

with parsnips. Add milk, butter,<br />

and thyme and blend until smooth.<br />

Season with salt and pepper.<br />

I was born in the deep south, Tuatapere, gateway to Fiordland.<br />

I grew up among some stunning scenery but it wasn’t really until I<br />

travelled the world that I saw just how special it was.<br />

I am a Christchurch based, self-taught artist painting semi-abstract<br />

landscapes that are earthy and textural. My paintings are inspired<br />

by New Zealand landscape, particularly Central Otago, Mackenzie<br />

Country and Canterbury.<br />

My works are descriptive of landforms shaped by both natural<br />

forces and man. Weathering, erosion and human activity lead to an<br />

ever-changing terrain.<br />

There is often a touch of both flora and water in my paintings that<br />

allude to the idea of the land sustaining life.<br />

Flowing Through<br />

The paintings have layers of colour and texture through<br />

which I chisel, scrape, eliminate, add back and interact<br />

with the painting to reveal the essence of a landscape.<br />

I hope painting our NZ landscape may encourage the<br />

viewer to recognise the beauty of the land and to feel<br />

responsibility for looking after it.<br />

comes a book about the unlikely, extraordinary, obscure and<br />

often tragic ways humans meet their end.<br />

A dead body without a trace of trauma; alien parasites; worms<br />

of the brain; crocodile attacks and bizarre eating disorders ...<br />

In The Quick and the Dead, pathologist Dr Cynric Temple-Camp<br />

takes readers into a world of disease and death as he seeks<br />

answers for those who were unlucky, and those still alive to tell<br />

the tale.<br />

What are you<br />

waiting for?<br />

We’ve watched<br />

how resilient the<br />

property market<br />

has been over the<br />

past few months, so<br />

rather than asking ‘if<br />

you should sell’, we<br />

want to know ‘why<br />

would you wait?’<br />

Now is a great time to sell!<br />

Craig Prier<br />

Strong buyer demand and less properties<br />

on the market means favourable selling<br />

conditions for vendors. It’s a simple<br />

situation of demand outstripping<br />

supply. Pre-approved buyers are taking<br />

advantage of record low interest rates<br />

and are turning up in droves to open<br />

homes and auctions. Multi offers are<br />

being presented and record prices are<br />

being achieved at auction.<br />

So, the question is “What are you<br />

waiting for?”<br />
