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.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
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

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

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
• By Matt Slaughter
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.

there, I was a goner.”

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?
Graeme Dingle Foundation
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

obstacles.

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
Graeme Dingle Foundation
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

we meet and work with are
fantastic and are all working
really hard on behalf of
Canterbury’s youth.
Graeme Dingle Foundation
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.

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.

• 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

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

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.

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

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

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.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
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.
Takiwatanga is a performance

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

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.

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.

liveliness to the texture. A fresh,
tangy note hangs on the long
finish. Delightful.

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.

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,
add patties. Cook for 3-4min
each side or until golden.

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.’

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

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.

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.

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.
