Skydivers buzzing over beach 

Plan to 

restore 

headstones 

in Akaroa 

cemeteries 

ADRENALINE: Tandem jumpers floating down to Sumner beach at the weekend. 

SUMNER WAS buzzing with 

excitement at the weekend as 

Skydiving Kiwis took the first 

25 adrenaline junkies for a 

spectacular tandem jump out of a 

helicopter onto Sumner beach. 

Skydiving Kiwis has partnered 

with GCH Aviation’s Christchurch 

operation Garden City Helicopters 

to offer the country’s only helidive 

skydiving adventure onto a 

beach. 

The first jumpers boarded a 

BK117 at Garden City Helicopters 

and got some stunning views over 

the city and Banks Peninsula, 

before jumping out over the 

Pacific Ocean and landing on 

Sumner beach. 

“It couldn’t have gone any 

better. The weather was amazing, 

the jumps went like clockwork 

and our customers were buzzing,” 

said Skydiving Kiwis director 

Lee Barraclough. 

Caroline Blanchfield, group 

marketing manager of GCH 

Aviation, said that Garden City 

Helicopters is thrilled to work 

alongside Skydiving Kiwis in 

launching this new tourism 

experience. •Turn to page 4

A NEW bid to restore historicallysignificant 

headstones in Akaroa 

has been launched as the city 

council re-evaluates spending in 

the wake of the global pandemic. 

If successful, it is hoped the 

early settlers’ headstones will be an 

important part of work that could 

also see one of the town’s cemeteries 

expanded and a memorial 

entrance installed. 

The Comte de Paris Descendants 

Group and the Akaroa Cemeteries 

Group put their plans to the city 

council ahead of the most recent 

annual plan deliberations. 

As the city council pared-down 

its Covid-19 affected budget, 

the groups asked for the town’s 

nationally important cemeteries to 

be made a priority in the new year. 

Representatives will meet city 

council staff in the coming weeks 

to discuss council plans for headstone 

conservation, landscaping 

and cemetery development. 

Comte de Paris Descendants 

Group chairwoman and Akaroa 

Cemeteries Group member Linda 

Sunderland said the September 4, 

2010, earthquake damaged many 

headstones. • Turn to page 5

Church bell ready to ring 

• By Devon Bolger 

THE BELL will again ring out on the 

grounds of the St Saviour’s at Holy 

Trinity Church, in Lyttelton, after 

$150,000 was raised for a new one. 

The new bell tower is now complete 

following five years of fundraising by 

the church. 

It has been named ‘The Mariners’ 

Bell Tower’ in memory of Captain 

John Cleaver who died in 2013 and 

was a long-time community member, 

and other seafarers who have helped 

shape Lyttelton. 

The original bell and the bell tower 

roof were rescued when the Holy 

Trinity Church building was demolished 

after being badly damaged in 

the February 22, 2011, earthquake. 

Said Mark Penn, who is part of the 

vestry: “We approached a number of 

individuals who generously dug into 

their pockets and came up with a very 

significant chunk of the money. 

“Six well-established organisations 

also helped by donating money. 

“After the quake, John Cleaver was 

very keen on keeping as much as the 

old church as possible. He spent many 

months going down to the church 

during the demolition and ensuring 

anything that could be saved was 

saved.” 

Penn said they are very happy to see 

the bell tower restored. 

“The tower itself is capped with 

what I call the witch’s hat which was

on the old bell tower of the original 

church. 

“The bell inside is the pilgrim’s bell 

which came out from England during 

the first days of colonisation.” 

Following the demolition of the 

Holy Trinity Church, the wooden St 

Saviour’s church was relocated onto 

the site from Cathedral Grammar 

School. 

It had also been damaged in the 

earthquake and the school donated 

it back to the Lyttelton parish to be 

relocated and restored.

In Brief 

Questions over recreation site safety 

WASTEWATER FEEDBACK 

• By Matt Slaughter 

THE SAFETY of a $1.19 million 

park which will be developed on 

the old Redcliffs School site has 

been questioned. 

The construction of the recreation 

reserve, Te Papa Kura Redcliffs 

Park on Main Rd, Redcliffs 

begins this month and is set for 

completion by late this year or 

early next year. 

It will include two junior 

sports fields, the existing playground 

facilities, paths and space 

for future public gatherings. 

Redcliffs 

School moved 

to a new 

campus on 

Beachville Rd, 

Redcliffs in 

June. 

Said 

Darrell 

Latham 

Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community 

Board member 

Darrell Latham: “I’m very happy 

that Redcliffs School is on its new 

site and absolutely 100 per cent 

celebrate the school being back 

in the community. However, I 

find it somewhat ironic that it 

was never considered safe for a 

school to be there, but it’s going 

to be considered safe for the site 

to be used for sports activities 

DEVELOPMENT: The plan to transform the former Redcliffs 

School site into a park for sport and recreation has led to 

questions around how safe this will be.

for children and for the community,” 

said Latham. 

Redcliffs School principal Rose 

McInerney said the decision for 

the school not to return to the 

site was not because it was ruled 

as unsafe. 

She said it was actually because 

of the disruption another 

earthquake could cause to pupil’s 

education if the cliffs behind it 

had to be assessed again. 

“The geotechnical engineering 

from that site actually came back 

that there was a one in a million 

life risk. 

“We believe that site was 

absolutely safe to return to, and 

Rose 

McInerney 

so I think for 

those reasons 

it would be absolutely 

perfect 

to be a park as 

well,” she said. 

Said Latham: 

“As long as 

the correct 

mitigation 

measures are 

implemented to ensure the safety 

of the public and children that 

use the park, then that’s fine 

from my perspective, and my 

understanding is that they’re 

going to put in the required 

fencing to ensure that that 

becomes a reality.” 

City council head of parks 

Andrew Rutledge said the reason 

why the site is considered safe for 

a park is that “the psychosocial 

implications of children 

attending a school at the site do 

not apply to park use, due to the 

lower risk profile for park use 

activity. 

“The hazardous area below the 

cliff is fenced off. Areas where 

people are likely to gather and 

linger are planned away from the 

hazardous area. 

“Various assessments were 

undertaken at the time of the 

land swap and the site was 

considered safe for park use,” 

Rutledge said. 

Feedback on the city council’s 

options for treated wastewater 

from Akaroa closes on Sunday. 

The city council has put 

forward four options. One is 

to continue discharging the 

treated wastewater into the 

harbour and the other three 

are to use the highly treated 

wastewater to irrigate new 

areas of native trees at various 

sites on Banks Peninsula. 

Information outlining the 

options is available online at ccc. 

govt.nz/haveyoursay. Printed 

booklets can be picked up at any 

council service centre or library. 

Submissions can be made 

online or by filling out the form 

at the back of the booklet and 

posting it. Contact details need 

to be included – anonymous 

submissions are not accepted. 

CORRECTION 

A publishing error meant the 

Ferrymead Night Markets were 

incorrectly included in the 

events listings last week. The 

Ferrymead Night Market runs 

4pm-6pm the first Saturday of 

each month.

EXPERIENCE: Clear skies provided great views as skydivers weaved their way down to 

Sumner beach. 

Positive impact on local business 

•From page 1 

“This is a totally new product 

for Christchurch and especially 

right now it’s great to be bringing a 

totally new tourism experience to 

the market,” says Blanchfield. 

The first weekend immediately 

showed the positive impact the 

new operation will have on local 

business, as every jumper had a 

large support crew, scouring the 

skies to spot the helicopter at 10,000 

feet and cheering as the parachutes 

were landing on the well-marked 20 

x 20m landing zone. 

Locals also got caught up in 

the excitement, as other visitors 

stopped to join the helicopter 

spotting on the beach. 

Barraclough and his partner 

are Sumner residents and they 

hope their operation will become 

another treasured asset to 

Christchurch’s surfing and outdoor 

adventure spot. 

“It is our aim for tandem 

skydivers to experience Sumner 

differently, for residents to share 

in the excitement that skydiving 

creates, but also for other 

businesses to benefit from the 

visitors we bring into Sumner,” 

Barraclough said.

40 headstones need to be repaired 

• From page 1 

The groups identified 40 needing work 

soon after the earthquake. 

The city council initially proposed 

tackling up to 13 restorations, which was 

reduced to six in 2018. 

That work had yet to start, so the groups 

proposed four heritage headstones should 

be restored this financial year. It was hoped 

two could be fixed by early next year. 

Sunderland said the headstones of 

Christian Jacob Waeckerle and Marie Eteveneaux, 

and of Eli and Anette Bouriaud, 

should be in the first tranche of restorations. 

Waeckerle and Eteveneaux arrived in 

Akaroa in 1840 on the Comte de Paris. 

They married and Waeckerle was Akaroa’s 

mayor from 1878 to 1880. They are buried 

in the Anglican Cemetery. 

Anette and Eli Bouriaud also arrived on 

the settler ship. Their substantial home is a 

landmark on Rue Grehan, one of the earliest 

French streets. They are buried in the 

Catholic Cemetery. 

Sunderland hoped the headstones could 

be restored by March, in time to belatedly 

celebrate the anniversary of the arrival of 

the French settler ship Comte de Paris. 

The 180th-anniversary celebrations were 

scheduled to take place last weekend, but 

were postponed due to Covid-19 alert 

level 2 restrictions, she said. 

It was hoped a memorial entrance 

commemorating the region’s early settlers 

would be installed at the top of the Catholic 

Cemetery ahead of the commemoration. 

Sunderland said the cemeteries were a

under way. 

heritage drawcard and, crucially, an important, 

inter-generational link to the Akaroa 

community’s past. 

The groups hoped this link would be reinforced 

if the city council mapped out plots 

on adjacent land offered by the Catholic 

Church for burials of all denominations. 

A 2016 city council report suggested the 

cemeteries were approaching capacity and 

future burials may be shifted from Akaroa 

to Duvauchelle Cemetery. 

Beauty and 

tragedy in 

cemeteries 

THERE IS beauty and tragedy in the 

Akaroa cemeteries. 

The beauty is in headstones, carefully 

carved and intricately designed. With the 

towering plinths, they suggest hard-won 

prosperity in the newly-settled town. 

The tragedy is in the descriptions etched 

into stone, and the stories that surface 

when their backgrounds are explored. 

The Friends of the Akaroa Museum has 

been working to photograph the headstones 

and record the associated biographical 

details. 

The work is being shared on the find a 

grave section of the ancestry.com website. 

Linda Sunderland has so far photographed 

the headstones up to 1880, and 

Patsy Turner is working on the biographies. 

Sunderland said many children’s 

names featured on the 42 headstones 

recorded so far. 

One boy died when accidentally dragged 

behind his father’s horse. Horse-related 

accidents were numerous among the early 

settlers, as were drownings. 

Infectious diseases were also noted, 

particularly diphtheria. 

She hoped the work would further 

contribute to local, national and family 

histories, while reinforcing the historic 

value of – and the need to preserve – the 

cemeteries. 

“We tend to forget that there is often 

more accessible history in headstones than 

there is in buildings,” she said. 

“They are a wonderful link to our past.”

Crusaders fan thanks lifesavers 


JACQUI TURNBULL was 

waiting in the line to watch the 

Crusaders play the Blues with 

her family last month. 

The next thing she remembers 

is darkness. 

The 55-year-old had collapsed 

after an asthma attack and if it 

wasn’t for three doctors behind 

her in the line, St John paramedics, 

police and security staff, 

Turnbull said she would be dead. 

Said Turnbull: “We had parked 

down on Lyttelton St and I was 

walking quite fast because I 

didn’t want Jack, my little grandson 

to miss out on seeing the 

horses going around.” 

She didn’t have her inhaler 

with her and when she got to the 

gate and her family members 

were getting tickets Turnbull was 

feeling faint and decided to sit on 

a nearby grass verge. 

“That was the last thing I 

remember,” she said. 

St John ambulance staff came 

to her aid and started doing cardiopulmonary 

resuscitation but 

she was not breathing. 

That’s when doctors Tom 

Brown, David Lyons-Ewing and 

Rob Cole who were standing behind 

her, stepped in and inserted 

a tube into Turnbull’s mouth to

Cole, the doctors who saved her life.

“If they hadn’t have been 

there, I was a goner.” 

– Jacqui Turnbull 

help her start breathing again. 

“The doctors were actually 

ICU doctors, it was so crazy, and 

they just finished their shift to go 

to the game. 

“If they hadn’t have been there, 

I was a goner,” she said. 

The three doctors then left 

Turnbull in the hands of ambulance 

staff. 

Said Turnbull: “The ambulance 

apparently worked on me for 20 

minutes or so before they even 

left the stadium.” 

TITLE-WINNERS: After suffering a life-threatening asthma 

attack at the Crusaders v Blues game last month, Jacqui 

Turnbull received tickets to watch the red and blacks beat 

the Highlanders on August 8. 

PHOTO: GETTY 

She was transported to the intensive 

care unit at Christchurch 

Hospital. 

Turnbull’s family was told she 

may suffer brain damage, but 

miraculously, she recovered and 

was discharged two days after 

her asthma attack. 

Crusaders staff heard 

Turnbull’s story and invited 

her, her daughter Jess Blomeley 

and Blomeley’s friend Sophie 

Thompson to the team’s training 

in the lead-up to the Highlanders 

clash, where she met with 

Brown, police and security staff 

who helped her, and coach Scott 

Robertson. 

Said Turnbull: “Tom [Brown] 

the young doctor had actually 

come in to see me when I was in 

the ward, it must have been Monday 

morning, so I had actually 

met him prior to this. But because 

I was so spaced out, just saying 

thank you didn’t even cut it. 

“It was really cool to be able to 

go back there a few weeks later 

and meet up with everybody and 

it was very overwhelming.” 

Meanwhile, Turnbull and her 

family got free tickets to see the 

Crusaders beat the Highlanders 

on August 9 and said she will 

never be caught without her 

inhaler again.

Helping Canterbury kids reach their 

A myriad of groups 

help keep our 

community moving. 

Reporter Bea Gooding 

speaks to the Graeme 

Dingle Foundation 

Canterbury manager 

Chris Davis about how 

its programmes help 

children build resilience 

and important life skills 

Could you tell me about the 

Graeme Dingle Foundation? 

Graeme Dingle Foundation 

Canterbury has been supporting 

young people in our community 

through the delivery of positive 

child and youth development 

programmes since 2002. We 

work with communities, 

predominantly in areas with 

high levels of social deprivation, 

to provide life-changing 

opportunities for young people. 

To date, we have delivered our 

programmes to 33,042 young 

people across Canterbury. 

Our vision is to empower 

our young people by providing 

them with the tools to overcome 

any obstacles that may come 

their way. Our programmes 

are currently benefitting over 

3700 young people every week 

in 22 schools across Canterbury 

of which 2592 students are in 

Christchurch specifically. These 

programmes build lifelong 

skills, positive relationships 

and qualities such as integrity, 

respect and resilience that will 

last the students a lifetime. 

What kind of programmes 

are available? 


Canterbury runs three 

programmes, Kiwi Can, Stars 

and Project K. Kiwi Can is the 

primary school programme. 

The students attend a Kiwi 

Can session each week and 

learn core values and life skills 

through games and activities. 

Stars is a year 9 peer mentoring 

programme. Year 12 and year 

EMPOWERING 

YOUNG: Chris 

Davis of the 

Graeme Dingle 

Foundation 

is providing 

children 

with tools 

to overcome 

obstacles. 

PHOTO: GEOFF 

SLOAN 

13 students are trained to run 

mentoring classes once a week for 

year 9s. The students learn about 

bullying, social media, positive 

relationships, teamwork and 

respecting each other. Project K 

is a 21-day wilderness expedition 

for year 10 students. The students 

are taken 200 km away from 

school into the Southern Alps 

and then hike, camp and cycle 

their way back to school. Project 

K is a journey of self-discovery. 

I understand the programme 

has experienced an increased 

demand recently. Why has this 

been the case? 

The last few years have been 

very difficult for young people 

in Christchurch, more so than 

in other parts of Aotearoa. The 

psychosocial impacts of the 

earthquakes are still lingering, 

with parts of East Christchurch 

remaining uninhabitable due 

to the earthquake-ravaged “red 

zone.” 

More recently, these same 

young people have had to deal 

with the horror forced upon them 

by an act of terrorism, right on 

their doorstep. Now they are faced 

with Covid-19, with the “new 

normal” that this brings and with 

likely job losses impacting their 

home lives – the mental health 

and well-being of these families 

may be negatively impacted, 

adversely affecting many young 

people across these communities. 

Census 2018 statistics across 

the communities we work in a 

paint a sobering picture, with 

nearly a quarter of all school 

leavers not gaining qualifications 

and a NEET rate (Not in 

Employment, Education and/or 

Training) of above 15 per cent.

full potential 

What kind of issues have 

been impacting school children 

recently? And how has the 

programme helped them 

overcome these barriers? 

School principals ask for the 


programmes to come into their 

schools because we provide 

positive youth development that 

complements and extends the 

positive behaviour for learning 

work that schools are already 

doing for their students. 

“Many of [our] students lack 

the privilege of being immersed 

in and surrounded by positive 

role models in their life. The Kiwi 

Can programme has provided the 

opportunity for our kids to learn, 

practice and demonstrate the 

implementation of values into their 

everyday actions and behaviours. 

I can confidentially say that the 

programme will undoubtedly have 

long term benefits for our students 

and their ability to positively 

contribute to our community.” – 

Janeane Reid, principal of Te 

Waka Unua School. 

What are the common 

barriers that hold children 

back from reaching their full 

potential in life? 

It is always so important to 

remember that not all childhoods 

are created equal. Some kids 

have a tough start and it can 

hold them back. Big factors 

are poverty, family instability 

with lots of moving house and 

changing schools, lack of good 

housing and hunger. Our goal as 

an organisation is to help those 

kids to know that, no matter 

what their start is in life, what 

they have inside is strong enough 

to overcome any obstacle. 

Why is an organisation like 

this important for Canterbury 

kids? 

I think a school principal can 

answer this better than I can: 

“Kiwi Can has a positive impact 

on the students at Bamford 

School. Through the programme, 

senior students have become more 

confident and have developed the 

ability to take risks in front of their 

peers without being embarrassed. 

Furthermore, they have learnt 

valuable lessons about resilience, 

honesty, integrity and leadership 

through fun and engaging 

activities,” – Shona Hewlett, 

principal of Ngutuawa School. 

What advice would you 

give parents and educators to 

instil positivity, resilience and 

confidence in kids, and why? 

The teachers and principals 

BUILDING RESILIENCE: Demand for programmes at the Graham Dingle Foundation is 

soaring, with many more schools coming on board in recent weeks. 


we meet and work with are 

fantastic and are all working 

really hard on behalf of 

Canterbury’s youth. 


Canterbury’s role is to provide a 

set time each week where 

the students can really focus on 

learning about respect, positive 

relationships, resilience and 

integrity. 

These positive values are of 

course also being learned about 

during regular class time and at 

home. 

Our foundation’s role is to 

focus strongly on these topics 

in a whole-class format every 

week. The students get a chance 

to play games that model positive 

behaviours and to carefully 

consider and discuss their values 

and actions. 

Our classes are a chance to 

talk about values regularly with 

young people and our school 

leaders model good values and 

behaviours. 

Kids become what they see and 

hear. 

POWER VINYASA YOGA 

Many people find Apollo’s Power Vinyasa practice to be effective in 

relieving and preventing back pain and tension-related types of pain. 

yoga pose of the month 

Standing forward bend is a great counter pose 

to relieve tightness in the back of your body 

caused by running, cycling, sitting and so forth 

and relieves compression and pain in your back. 

It is also a good pose to relax tension from your 

shoulders, neck and jaw. Standing forward bend 

creates a relaxed state of mind. 

STANDING 

FORWARD 

BEND 

• Stand with your feet parallel at hip width. 

Evenly spread your weight through the length 

and breadth of your feet. 

• Bend your knees a little. Fold your upper body 

down towards the floor from your hips. Avoid 

rounding your back as much as possible. 

• Do not bounce or try to force your body to 

bend deeply. Relax gently and gradually into 

greater depth. 

• Set the palms of your hands at the back of 

your Achilles tendons or calves. Draw your 

elbows towards one another behind your legs. 

• Draw your shoulder blades away from your 

ears. Relax your neck and allow your head to 

hang free. 

• As you progress, shift the weight of your hips 

forward and stack your hips over your ankles. 

Press the backs of your thighs towards the 

back of your room. 

• Relax your jaw and soften the features of your 

face. 

• Breathe calmly through your nose for 5-10 

breaths then slowly return to standing on an 

inhale.

INCREASING demand 

for free legal services due 

to Covid-19 has prompted 

the Government to provide 

significant funding to 

community law centres 

across the country. 

Community Law Canterbury 

is among dozens 

to benefit from a $3.47 

million funding boost over 

three years – in addition 

to the almost $8 million in 

funding that was already 

announced in Budget 2020. 

The increase will add 

$1.2 million to community 

law services in the current 

financial year. 

Said Community Law 

Canterbury board chairman 

Jeremy Finn: “We’re 

delighted to get it in recognition 

of the huge, unmet 

demand that will continue 

to increase post-Covid-19. 

“But we also know that 

demand is at full capacity 

now, so we would expect 

the funding will allow us 

to increase our staffing and 

retain experienced lawyers.” 

He said the majority of 

issues clients have faced 

recently involved employment, 

changing work conditions, 

family law matters, 

immigration, finances and 

Government’s funding boost. 

tenancy issues. 

The extra funding comes 

at a time when Community 

Law Centres around 

the country have been 

experiencing a significant 

decline in donations because 

of Covid-19. 

The Canterbury facility 

will receive their share of 

about $120,000 a year for 

the next few years. 

The extra funding was 

important to retain and 

increase staff levels to allow 

for higher volumes of casework 

work to be completed, 

and for part-time staff to 

move into full-time roles. 

This was especially the 

case in Canterbury. 

“Our staff have great

“Christchurch clients

Said Sue Moroney,

In the Jaws of the Dragon 

How China Is Taking Over NZ 

by ron asher 

China Inc., the business arm of China’s repressive dictatorship, is trying to 

take over the world by grabbing key sectors of various countries’ economies 

as part of its strategic plan for global control of the world’s resources. China’s 

rapid arms build-up suggests that it is preparing to back its ever increasing 

demands on other countries with force.China chose New Zealand as the first 

Western country with which to have a free trade agreement, which is more 

about colonising and dominating our economy than about free trade. 

This book should be read by every New Zealander since it affects the 

future prospects of the country in respect of economic welfare, sovereignty 

and national security. It is a case of getting a grip on the situation now or 

sleepwalking to a situation where New Zealanders will finish up as lowly paid 

serfs in the land that was built by the sweat and toil of the pioneers. 

Searching for Charlie 

by tom scott 

Charles Upham was the most highly decorated soldier in the Commonwealth 

forces of WWII, and could arguably be called the bravest soldier of the war. 

An unassuming stock worker/ valuer at the beginning of the war, he stormed 

through Crete and the Western Desert amazing and confounding his comrades 

with his exploits. He won two Victoria Crosses (the only combat soldier ever to 

do so) and in the opinion of his superiors deserved many more. Captured, he 

became an escape artist and ended his war in the famous Colditz POW camp. 

Shy and reluctant to take credit for his actions, he deflected all praise onto his 

soldiers and was described as “distraught” that he had been honoured. He 

then farmed in North Canterbury until his death in 1994, avoiding the limelight 

wherever possible. There has been one previous biography, “Mark of the Lion” 

published in 1962, which was a major bestseller and sells to this day 

Taking the Punches 

by Mike edwards 

A story of the cut-throat world of promoting in New Zealand boxing, from the 

1960s to the modern era, as told by legendary trainer and promoter Mike 

Edwards. ‘Who would want to be a boxing promoter? It’s like being on a 

treadmill you can’t get off, as you forever chase the elusive pot of gold at the 

end of the rainbow.’ 

Taking the Punches is legendary trainer and promoter Mike Edwards’ story, 

from an Otahuhu gym in the 1960s through to the height of modern era. It’s a 

world of showmen, superstars, larger-than-life characters, brawlers, shysters, 

fraudsters and out-and-out criminals. Anyone who is anyone in the story of New 

Zealand boxing has worked with (or against) Mike, including Tuna Scanlan,

Get behind Redcliffs Four Square 

MP Ruth 

Dyson writes 

about the 

new Four 

Square 

supermarket 

in Redcliffs 

CHANGES are 

always challenging. 

During the lockdown, I heard 

many comments from people 

about the value of our “essential 

workers” and how much more 

they were appreciated. Of course, 

all those who work in our health 

system were high on the list. But 

so were others, less obvious but 

very important. 

They included our shop workers 

who kept us supplied with 

our groceries but also worked 

exceptionally hard to ensure that 

we shopped in safety. At the local 

Redcliffs New World, as I stood 

in the social distanced queue, 

many people noted the staff’s 

attention to sanitation and how 

friendly they were to people who 

were sometimes impatient but 

who were also anxious about the 

Covid-19 situation. 

So when the announcement 

came that New World Redcliffs 

was to be no longer and was being 

replaced by Four Square, and 

that some of these valued staff 

would not have their jobs, there 

was understandably a negative 

community response. 

So I want to put in a big 

plug for our new Four Square 

supermarket. I remember very 

soon after the February 22, 2011, 

quakes when the supermarket 

was destroyed, Foodstuffs was 

very hesitant about rebuilding. 

I argued strongly for the 

supermarket to come back but 

understood that even prior to the 

earthquakes, the viability of the 

business was not strong. 

That situation has, sadly, not 

changed. What has changed is 

our shopping habits and the 

local New World was not sustainable. 

Foodstuffs could have taken 

the call to just quit the area 

completely. But they remain 

committed to serving the local 

community so took the tough 

call to change to Four Square. It 

has been a very tough time for 

everyone but especially for the 

workforce. 

We all need to get behind this

local business if it is going to 

survive. No-one would want to 

see it fail so, now more than ever, 

it’s time to put our money where 

our mouth is and watch this 

supermarket flourish.

OPTIMISTIC: Jolt Dance founder Lyn Cotton and dancer Carl Te Tone Huia were meant to 

perform their original works in London this year, but it was postponed due to Covid-19. 


CANTABRIANS will soon be 

treated to a performance which 

challenges perspectives about 

dance and disability in the 

creative arts industry. 

Representatives from Jolt 

Dance company were due to 

showcase their work at performance 

art theatre Lyric Hammersmith 

in London during 

May but it was cancelled due to 

Covid-19. 

Jolt founder Lyn Cotton is 

feeling optimistic in spite of the 

growing uncertainty in the coming 

months. 

“We’re looking at it positively 

and view it as a postponement, 

we still want to show London 

what New Zealand is capable of,” 

she said. 

“We’re not angry about it, this 

is a time of patience and reflection 

and it’s given us an opportunity 

to look at the work again in 

more depth.” 

Including Cotton, Jolt dancers 

and tutors Carl Huia, Aleasha 

Seaward, Rochelle Waters and 

Renee Ryan were meant to spend 

a week in London to take part in 

Amici Dance Theatre Company’s 

40th-anniversary celebrations 

and raised $10,000 to do so. 

Amici is also an inclusive 

dance company and invited the 

team to present two original 

works, discuss their achievements 

and host teaching sessions. 

They Call Me Sam is a short 

film that chronicled life with 

down syndrome and challenges 

attitudes about having a disability.

which is shaped by Huia’s Māori 

culture and his lived experience 

of autism. 

The word “takiwatanga” is 

used to describe autism and 

means “in his or her own time 

and space.” 

Cotton met Amici founder 

$34 99 

 

Wolfgang Strange in 1995, and 

after spending a few years under 

his wing, she was inspired to 

open her own dance studio with 

a similar concept of breaking 

barriers within the disability 

community. 

“Wolfgang was my teacher for

Available in any amount from $20.

Redeemable at Dress-Smart stores nationwide 

Visit www.dress-smart .co.nz for terms & conditions 

three years, and when I came 

back to NZ I set up my own Jolt 

classes and it grew from there,” 

she said. 

“We take what the dancers 

give us which shapes our work – 

it’s not just about participation, 

it’s about excellence and for 

people with disabilities to have 

their voices heard.” 

Not only do they offer dance 

classes, teaching and choreography 

training was also available 

which leads to industry level 

pathways through performance 

and leadership. 

Jolt’s “Move” programme is 

the country’s only teacher training 

programme for people with 

disabilities, taking their work 

into mainstream schools to teach 

non-disabled children. 

Said Cotton: “All peer pressure 

starts to drop away when they 

come together and dance. It’s 

okay to be different. 

“The bar was set low for what 

people with disabilities can 

achieve, and now they’re playing 

catch up because they’ve been 

denied that opportunity for so 

long.” 

Jolt Dance celebrates their 20th 

anniversary next year and has 

since grown to more than 150 

dancers. 

They will plan to showcase 

their original works in 

Christchurch in October.

Wine 

Class borne out in a long-stemmed glass 

• By Mark Henderson 

EXPECTATIONS are a funny 

thing. 

Naturally, I try to avoid them 

when I’m tasting, as they could 

cloud one’s judgement and 

impartiality. 

I know the identity of the wines 

in a tasting, but they are always 

masked and in random order: this 

is dubbed “single blind tasting”. 

My regular tasting duo 

of Collins and McLaren are 

informed of the wine style and 

vintage spread, but know neither 

the identities nor order in which 

they are served: this is “double 

blind tasting”. 

The average price of today’s 

wines created an expectation of 

class, which was borne out in the 

glass. 

2018 Chard Farm The Tiger 

Central Otago Pinot Noir 

Price: $81 

Rating: Excellent/outstanding 

Beguiling nose showing 

subtlety and elegance, mixing 

strawberry, raspberry, perfume, 

savoury nuances and wild herb/ 

lavender notes. 

Juicy, sappy, power without 

weight, sweet fruit courses 

through this aligned with herbal 

notes and savoury qualities. 

Builds in texture and richness. 

Lovely integration and balance, a 

real charmer. 

www.chardfarm.co.nz 

2018 Chard Farm Mason 

Vineyard Central Otago 

Pinot Noir 

Price: $81 

Rating: Very good to excellent 

Subtle nose with sweet berry 

compote, wood smoke, perfume 

and schisty notes. Darker fruits, a 

hint of cough lolly, perhaps whole 

bunch ferment stalk notes and 

chewy tannins. 

Flavoursome, developing a 

bittersweet element and sweet ‘n’ 

sour interplay on the long finish. 

This is showing its youthfully 

brash side for now. 


2016 Pegasus Bay Prima 

Donna Pinot Noir 

Price: $100 

Rating: Excellent to 

outstanding 

Appealing nose, darker 

register to the fruit, plum, 

tamarillo, bonfire embers, 

building in fragrance. Richly 

fruited, mouth-filling, this is 

clearly a ripe and powerful wine, 

yet it doesn’t stray into excess. 

Some chalky/fruit pith and 

zesty acid interplay brings lovely 

liveliness to the texture. A fresh, 

tangy note hangs on the long 

finish. Delightful. 

www.pegasusbay.com 

2018 Quartz Reef Bendigo 

Single Ferment Pinot Noir 

Price: $85 

Rating: Excellent 

A nose of intrigue, balsamic/ 

umami influences shift to 

perfume and dusty stones, 

raspberry with time. 

Richly fruited entry, loganberry, 

mixed berries, cinnamon and 

spices lead, evolving to savoury 

notes and fresh, sour cherry 

on the long close. Weight but 

no excess, growing in richness 

and integration, adding earthy 

touches. Lots of interest. 

www.quartzreef.co.nz 

2018 Chard Farm Viper 

Vineyard Central Otago 

Pinot Noir 

Price: $81 

Rating: Excellent 

Subtle yet attractively expressed 

nose of berryfruit, rhubarb, 

perfume and savoury notes, 

kid leather perhaps. Somewhat 

enigmatic, starting subtly, spices 

and wisps of balsamic giving way 

to sweet fruit as this blossoms 

in the glass, showing deceptive 

power and structure. Crisp acidity 

keeps this lively with a lifted, tart 

note on the long finish. 


2014 Misha’s Vineyard 

Verismo Central Otago 

Pinot Noir 

Price: $75 

Rating: Very good to excellent 

Notably fragrant nose with 

additions of stewed fruits, 

balsamic notes, anise and dusty 

stones. 

A boldness to the palate, 

leading with spice and savoury 

notes, a little tilled earth, 

mushroom and forest floor/ 

funkiness building with aeration. 

Already round and supple, 

this bottle-aged release can be 

enjoyed now.

Tasty Bites 

Hashing up a breakfast of champions 

Corned beef/silverside 

isn’t everyone’s cup 

of tea and it’s often 

a textural thing. But 

leftover corned beef 

makes for an amazing 

fry-up the next day, 

which crisps it up nicely. 

In fact, forget leftovers, 

these recipes are worth 

cooking corned beef for 

by themselves 

Corned beef hash 

8 servings 

Ingredients 

3 tbsp butter 

3 cups potatoes, diced 

1 cup red capsicum, chopped 

½ cup onion, chopped 

500g corned beef, cooked/cubed 

1 tbsp Italian seasoning 

4 eggs 

¼ tsp salt (optional, as corned 

beef is already salty) 

¼ tsp pepper 

Pinch chilli flakes (optional) 

Directions 

Preheat oven to 200 deg C. In a 

medium sized oven-proof skillet, 

melt butter then add 

diced potatoes. Cook 5-7min, 

until the potatoes are tender and 

slightly crispy. Add capsicum and 

onions, and cook 4-6min until 

tender. 

Add the corned beef and cook 

until warmed and slightly brown. 

Crack the eggs on top of the 

hash. Place the skillet in the oven 

and bake for 8-10min until eggs 

are set. Season with salt, pepper 

and pinch of chilli flakes. 

Corned beef hash 

breakfast cakes 

10 servings 

Ingredients 

1.2kg Desiree potatoes, whole, 

unpeeled 

350g corned beef, roughly 

chopped 

2 tbsp wholegrain mustard 

¼ cup finely chopped chives 

2 eggs, lightly beaten 

1 cup plain flour 

2 tbsp olive oil 

1 tbsp butter, melted 

Fruit chutney, to serve 

Directions 

Boil potatoes for 25-30min or 

until tender. Drain. Cool for 10min. 

Roughly smash potatoes (so that 

they are still chunky). Set aside for 

30min to cool completely. 

Add beef, mustard, chives, eggs, 

and salt and pepper to potato. 

Stir until combined. Place flour 

into a separate bowl. Using ¼ 

cupful of mixture at a time, shape 

potato mixture into 8cm patties. 

Refrigerate for 2hr or until firm. 

Lightly coat patties in flour. 

Preheat a non-stick pan over 

medium heat. Combine oil and 

butter in pan. When sizzling,

BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY 

Tanya Jenkins is the manager of the Avon-Heathcote Estuary 

Ihutai Trust, a non-profit organisation formed in 2002 to protect 

one of New Zealand’s most important coastal wetlands. Each 

week she introduces a new bird found in the estuary. Her 

column aims to raise the understanding of the values and 

uniqueness of the area. 

To hear a bellbird is a privilege 

WHAT A privilege it is 

when you hear a bellbird at 

your home. 

For me in town, that is an 

irregular event but if you 

live near the estuary/on or 

near the Port Hills you may 

be lucky enough to regularly 

see bellbirds in your 

garden. 

Explorer Captain Cook 

described its song “like 

small bells exquisitely 

tuned”. Well described 

I thought and hence its 

name. 

The bellbird is endemic to 

NZ and found throughout 

the country. Unfortunately 

numbers declined when 

native forest were cleared 

for farmland and predators 

were introduced. 

However, the bellbird 

managed to adapt somewhat 

to this change of its 

native habitat and can now 

be seen in native as well as 

in exotic forests and even 

urban parks. 

Better still, in areas where 

predator control is in place 

numbers are steadily increasing 

again. With many 

homeowners around our 

estuary brave enough to 

trap predators we can hear 

an increase in the bellbird 

numbers again. 

The bellbird is a honey 

eater but will also eat 

insects and fruit and plays 

a very important ecological 

role by the pollinating 

native vegetation flowers 

but also by dispersing the 

native fruit seeds. 

An important role for 

this tiny bird with the male 

weighing a mere 34gm 

and the female only 27gm. 

Laying three to four eggs, 

the female will incubate the 

eggs by herself but the feeding 

duties of the chicks is 

ADAPTABLE: 

The bellbird 

sings ‘like 

small bells 

exquisitely 

tuned.’ 

PHOTO: CLIVE 

COLLINS 

shared by both parents. 

Predator control around 

the estuary is undertaken 

by the city council but we 

can all help by placing rat 

and/or possum traps in 

our gardens to support 

this. Planting native trees 

on your section like the 

kowhai will also assist in 

bringing the bellbird to 

your garden. 

The Department of 

Conservation website has a 

list of recommended native 

trees and scrubs to plant 

on your section to attract 

the bellbird and other 

bird species. Worth an 

investigation.

This wonderful home designed by wellrenowned 

local architect John Chaplin, has 

been a love affair and their home of over 40 

years. 

This young couple’s dream was for a 

perfect site with enticing views for a family 

home. An amazing vision for this new home 

began in the late 1970s, with changes in 

the 1980s, then an extensive alteration and 

landscape design in the 2000s. The final 

stage post-earthquake in 2015. 

So many interesting features, seductive 

angles, light filled spaces, a well thought 

about and much loved home over a series of 

half levels, with endless options. 

Generous living areas flow into outdoor 

garden spaces, decks and boardwalks. The 

main deck, a magnificent structure to enjoy 

the sunrises, sunsets and everchanging views 

of the estuary and across Pegasus Bay. 

The perfect home for entertaining, with a 

sensational private and sheltered courtyard 

garden, well planted and designed for a 

wonderful experience both night and day. 

Sitting proudly on the hill, among the tree 

tops, this is a complete artistic package and a 

timeless design.

Vibrant Veloster joins long line of coupes 

I KNOW LIFE often means 

disappointments but it will take 

me a bit of time to get over missing 

out on a drive of Hyundai’s new i30 

N fastback – a high-performance 

car based around its hot-hatch 

stablemate. 

See, the turbocharged 2-litre 

manual was a casualty of the 

coronavirus level 4 lockdown, I was 

due to have it within that period 

but it has since been seconded to 

duties in other parts of the country. 

That aside, the other Hyundai 

models I was scheduled into have 

arrived, and a week with the latest 

generation Hyundai Veloster 

almost made up for not stepping 

into the i30 N. 

The Veloster has been around 

since 2012, and has just undergone 

a major transformation. Saying 

that, the one element that makes 

the Veloster stand out from the 

crowd hasn’t been changed. What 

appears to be a traditional twodoor 

coupe is actually a three-door. 

Yes, there are two doors on the 

passenger side and just one on the 

driver’s side. 

The concept was first introduced 

with safety in mind, the rationale 

being that when children are seated 

in the rear they can only exit from 

the footpath side of the vehicle, 

egress to the road is denied. Bear in 

mind, too, that the Veloster is only 

a four-seater. 

Some might say the design of 

the Veloster is outlandish, I’d say 

it is bold yet trendy, it is fresh and 

with an aggressive body and with 

vivid colours to choose from, 

the Veloster certainly makes a 

statement. The evaluation car was 

finished in a matte gun metal grey, 

it drew a lot of attention during the 

time it was in my care. 

The Veloster arrives with two 

engine options – a 2-litre naturally 

aspirated unit that develops 

110kW. Or else there is a 1.6-litre 

turbocharged option – the 150kW 

engine that powers several other 

Hyundai and Kia models. 

The evaluation car was the 

latter, and it is an engine I’m quite 

familiar with, it is no outright 

powerhouse like the engine in the 

i30 N, but it is a feisty little unit and 

stands out for its honesty and fussfree 

behaviour. Although it must 

be said there is genuine exhaust 

sound, there’s a constant throb 

under load and an enticing crackle 

between gears. 

When the Veloster first 

appeared, it was Hyundai’s first 

full-production vehicle with a 

dual clutch gearbox; that type of 

transmission is still used, although 

it now gets seven gears that can 

be manipulated through steering 

wheel-mounted paddle shifters. 

In terms of driving, DCT units 

can be treated much like a normal 

STYLISH: The Hyundai Veloster is characterised by a short, 

squat rear quarter. 

HYUNDAI VELOSTER: Bold wheels add to its aggressive looks. 

automatic transmission, the big 

difference is that in itself it works 

like a manual but without a manual 

clutch and, of course, there’s no 

power-robbing characteristics 

of traditional torque converter 

system. 

The result is a quick shifting unit 

that doesn’t load the engine, power 

is clean, and with a strong torque 

figure (265Nm) and available low, 

and all of the way between 1500 

to 4500rpm, the Veloster turbo is 

a quick-reacting car which is no 

slouch against the stopwatch. 

It will lunge to 100km/h in 

7.5sec, which will satisfy those 

who are happy with moderate 

performance, but for me the 

big surprise is the mid-speed 

performance, it will scorch through 

a highway overtake (80-120km/h) 

in 4.2sec, made possible through 

solid turbo boost and quickshifting 

ratios which are ideal 

for the wide cross-section of our 

driving styles and journeys. 

On the subject of figures, 

the Veloster turbo is rated by 

Hyundai with a 7.1-litre per 

100km combined cycle fuel usage 

average. At 100km/h I recorded an 

instantaneous readout of 5l/100km 

with the engine working over freely 

at 2000rpm. 

I guess if you explore the 

turbo boost frequently it will be 

hard to match Hyundai’s claim, 

• Price – Hyundai Veloster, 

$52,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4250mm; width, 

1800mm; height, 1409mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

front-wheeldrive, 

1591cc, 150kW, 

265Nm, seven-speed dual 

clutch automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 7.5sec 

• Fuel usage – 7.1l/100km 

and with just a 50-litre fuel tank 

you need to be mindful fill-ups 

may come around quicker than 

expected. 

Nevertheless, I enjoyed the 

power and strength of that wee 

engine, it is delightful and provides 

the fun factor when you feel the 

need for a quick burst, taking into 

account that several drive modes 

allow the driver to choose how the 

car behaves, from economical to 

sport. 

In terms of handling, the 

Veloster feels sharp up front with 

definite turn-in. Sport specification 

Michelin tyres (225/40 x 18in) 

have high-grip properties and 

combined with a fully independent 

suspension the car feels well 

attached to the road. 

Ride quality isn’t jeopardised by 

a definite firming of the dampers 

and springs and at just 1.4m tall 

gravitational movement in a corner 

needn’t be considered. 

The Veloster turbo is only 

available in one fully-specced 

level – Limited. It is loaded with 

goodies such as full leather, heated 

and cooled seats, heated steering 

wheel, head-up display, satellite 

navigation, keyless entry and 

ignition, and all the other bells and 

whistles that make up Hyundai’s 

top level trim spec. It also gets a full 

safety suite of technologies. 

Hyundai has had a long 

history of producing two-door 

coupes, even though you could 

argue the Veloster is essentially a 

three-door. When I first started 

writing about cars in 1988, one of 

the first I drove was the Scoupe, 

Hyundai’s first sporty car, that 

transformed into what Hyundai 

called simply Coupe around 1996, 

the Tiburon followed, then in 2012 

the Veloster first landed in New 

Zealand. 

That history has served 

Hyundai well, the Veloster is a 

beautifully-made car and one 

which is both fun and exciting. It 

dares to be different with its styling, 

but that is part of its appeal, if you 

want to stand out in a crowd, at 

$52,990 ($45,990 non-turbo), it’s a 

relatively affordable way to make a 

statement.

IT COULD be a while until 

the eastern suburbs start to 

see Lianne Dalziel’s campaign 

aspirations for the area come to 

fruition. 

During October’s local body 

elections, Ms Dalziel identified 

repairs to the eastern part of the 

city’s footpaths, pipes and roads 

as one of her main priorities for 

this term. 

“We need a fully integrated 

programme of works for the 

east, I have loosely called this 

the eastern alliance, which 

would essentially be an alliance 

of contractors who can take 

the whole area bit by bit and 

systematically get the work 

done,” she said during the 

campaign. 

But chief executive Dawn 

Baxendale said any request to 

pursue a specific project in the 

east would have to be agreed 

upon by council. 

City councillors are yet to pass 

on any guidance to staff around 

this, she said.

“The community will be somewhat

CALLS HAVE been made to 

stop rates increases in response 

to the Covid-19 crisis. 

City councillors James Gough, 

Sam MacDonald, Catherine 

Chu, Phil Mauger, Aaron Keown 

and James Daniels have sent a 

letter to Mayor Lianne Dalziel 

asking her to lead a conversation 

as to how a zero per cent rates 

increase could be achieved this 

year. 

The city council is proposing 

an average rates increase of 4.65 

per cent across all ratepayers in 

this year’s Draft Annual Plan 

which is currently under public 

consultation until April 5 and 

will be finalised before July 1. 

The 2018-2028 Long Term 

Plan also predicts a 50 per cent 

rates increase over 10 years. 

Said Cr MacDonald: “In 

the current environment it’s 

clear business as usual is not 

appropriate and the council 

needs to look at how we enable 

this 12-month rates increase 

freeze to occur, it’s crucial for 

the economic confidence of our 

city.” 

Ms Dalziel said the las thing 

the city council needed was for 

someone to hi the panic button. 

“Calm heads must and will 

prevail,” she said. 

“Our residents and businesses 

will be depending on us to 

make adjustments, and we will, 

however, we will need advice 

on the impacts on all aspects of 

Vaping rules 

in CDHB 

spotlight 

the council’s budget, which is 

not entirely funded by rates, and 

the consequences that will flow 

from decisions we make. 

“The Annual Plan is not 

signed off for three months so 

we have time to ge this advice. 

A the same time, the council 

is meeting with our economic 

development agency, ChristchurchNZ, 

the Canterbury Employers’ 

Chamber of Commerce 

and other key players so we are 

best prepared for the economic 

challenges that lie ahead.” 

City council chief executive 

Dawn Baxendale did not rule a 

zero rates rise out. 

“We’re considering a series of 

options in light of the extraor- 

– page 4 

dinary circumstances related to 

Covid-19. We will discuss these 

options with elected members 

as we develop the Annual Plan,” 

she said. 

The push from city councillors 

for a freeze on rates rises comes 

shortly after Minister of Finance 

Grant Robertson announced 

a $12.1 billion package to aid 

the economy in response to the 

Covid-19 pandemic. 

The biggest boost is $5.1 

billion towards wage subsidies 

for affected businesses in all 

sectors and regions.

Options Aplenty by the Beach 

24 Stoke Street, Sumner 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 living, 1 study, 1 dining, 2 off street parks 

Countless opportunities exist at this grand, character-rich residence occupying 

a substantial 1025m² approx site only a block from Sumner Beach. Those with 

an eye for opportunity will appreciate the immense development potential. 

Zoned residential medium density and set on two titles, the possibility for 

buyers to construct multiple dwellings or a multi-level complex is presented. 

The unique arrangement and sheer size of the section will also draw the 

attention of investors and developers. 

This expansive four-bedroom home has served as a magnificent family 

residence, and the fine finishes throughout will draw those who value classic 

yet contemporary style. 

A superb Palazzo kitchen forms the social centre of the open plan area where 

bi-fold doors invite you to entertain on the hardwood deck or the generously 

proportioned lawn. 

Also situated downstairs is a formal lounge, the first of the bedrooms and two 

of the bathrooms. 

The first floor enjoys an excellent outlook over the Scarborough hinterland and 

hosts an office, sunroom, third bathroom and the remaining three bedrooms. 

Re-roofing, re-wiring and re-plumbing coupled with extensive heating 

solutions, ensures comfort and peace of mind. A further benefit is considerable 

off-street parking that complements the garage. 

Constructed in the late 19th century, the home was originally organised as 

three separate flats. Investment-focused buyers could revert to the previous 

configuration with ease, particularly as the property also contains two 

kitchenettes. 

From here, you can embrace the Sumner lifestyle, with the beach, cafes, bars 

and schooling all a leisurely walk away and the sound of the surf superb. 

Uniquely appealing in every respect, this property will attract a wide range of 

buyers, and commands your earliest viewing.
