Pole stops crashed car 

from falling into houses 

• By Matt Slaughter 

A MOTORIST can thank his 

lucky stars for a round metal pole. 

That was all that saved 

him from an 80m drop onto 

houses and a beach below after 

he crashed at Charteris Bay last 

week. 

His Toyota RAV4 sport utility 

vehicle was left 

teetering on the 

edge of a cliff, 

with him in 

it, on Marine 

Drive, between 

James Drive and 

Franco 

Lovrich 

Black Rock Rd 

about 10am last 

Wednesday. 

The crash also 

damaged a device believed to be a 

chairlift used to access a property 

below the cliff. 

Sergeant Franco Lovrich said 

the man will appear in the district 

court at a later date on “a number 

of charges” relating to his “manner 

of driving’’ and “ability to 

drive safely.” 

“He was definitely under the 

influence of something.” 

Lovrich said a passer-by 

was first on the scene and helped 

the man get out of the vehicle.

Drink driving: How the numbers 

stack up in Banks Peninsula 

• By Matt Slaughter 

POLICE CHARGED 88 people 

with drink driving offences in 

Banks Peninsula between 2017 

and 2019. 

An Official Information Act 

request by Bay Harbour News 

has revealed out of eight areas in 

Christchurch and Banks Peninsula, 

the Sumner and Lyttelton 

police stations coverage areas 

sit sixth and seventh on the list 

of areas where the most people 

have been charged for being over 

the legal breath and blood alcohol 

limits in this time period. 

Christchurch central is first 

on this list, with officers there 

charging 1993 drivers with such 

offences, followed by Papanui 

with 915 and south Christchurch 

with 675.

CHECKPOINT: Statistics have revealed which areas of 

Christchurch the most drink drivers were caught between 

2017 and 2019. 

in New Zealand is 250mcg/l. 

There were 4812 excess breath 

and blood alcohol offences in

2019.

offences decreased over this 

three-year period. There were 

1742 offences in 2017, 1539 offences 

in 2018 and 1531 in 2019.

Manager Greg Cottam said 

2018 – 220

2019 – 130 

Sumner Police Station 

2017 – 21 

2018 – 19 

these statistics are promising but 

any drink driving at all is too 

much. 

“Over time we’ve seen a drop, 

which is great, but it comes 

back to the fact that any drink 

driving is one too many and the 

potential for serious harm for 

other road users is unacceptable. 

We have a no-tolerance policy 

for alcohol and one is one too 

many.” 

Meanwhile, in July a police 

clamp-down on drink driving 

saw them stop and breath test 

14,042 Canterbury motorists. 

Of these, 68 were over the legal 

breath alcohol limit. 

They trialled micro-checkpoints 

as part of this, which 

require as few as one police car 

and officer to set up and carry 

out the checks.

Houses 

below cliff 

evacuated 

• From page 1 

The vehicle was “precariously 

perched on a pole,” which was the 

only thing that saved it 

from going over the cliff, said 

Lovrich. 

The crash prompted fears the 

four-wheel-drive vehicle could 

fall onto the properties below. 

A fire crew from the nearby Diamond 

Harbour station worked 

to stabilise the vehicle and secure 

it to the cliff face. 

Along with this crew, three police 

cars and a St John ambulance 

attended. 

Ambulance staff treated the 

driver at the scene. 

He walked away after receiving 

treatment and was placed in a 

police car. 

Several houses below the cliff 

were evacuated as a precaution 

while the vehicle was removed 

about two hours after the crash 

and Marine Drive was closed. 

How the man crashed was being 

investigated, said Lovrich. 

A Fire and Emergency NZ 

spokesman at the scene said it 

appeared the four-wheel-drive 

had been driven off the road and 

no other vehicles were involved.

Social distancing underpins Sumner challenge 

SOCIAL distancing rules and 

the vagaries of the season made 

the Brad Richards Building 

Sea2Sky Challenge even more 

memorable. 

Based at Scarborough Park, 

the event was held on Sunday 

after the Covid-19 lockdown 

forced its postponement in 

March. 

It is traditionally a triathlon 

but the swim leg was cancelled 

because of the time of the year, 

organiser John Newsom explained. 

The challenge was broken into 

a series of events with groups of 

75 athletes in each zone. 

Athletes arrived at separate, set 

times and groups stayed within 

fenced off areas until being 

called to the start line. 

It was a “socially distanced 

start line” comprised of groups 

of 10-15 athletes. They had to 

leave the race site as soon as they 

could after their race. 

Athletes were only allowed to 

use portaloos in their zone, and 

volunteers could interact only 

with athletes in their designated 

zone, Newsom said. 

The measures, approved by 

the city council, Triathlon New 

Zealand and Sport New Zealand, 

were designed for the Covid-19 

alert level guidelines, Newsom 

said. 

The winner of the men’s race 

was Mt Pleasant-based Mike 

Phillips, a professional ironman 

who won Ironman New Zealand 

in 2019 when he broke the run 

course record. 

His time was 1hr 18min, less 

than a minute ahead of Flavio 

Vianna and Sola Kuwasaki. Julia 

Tully won the female race, ahead 

of Annabel Ramsay and Nicole 

Wilson. 

The 17km run only option was 

a new addition to a list that also 

included a Junior Challenge and 

a Kids (5-9) Challenge. 

The Sea2Sky Challenge will be 

held on March 14, 2021.

Jerusalem: The Biography 

by simon sebag Montefiore 

Jerusalem is the universal city, the capital of two peoples, the shrine of three 

faiths; it is the prize of empires, the site of Judgement Day and the battlefield of 

today’s clash of civilizations. From King David to Barack Obama, from the birth 

of Judaism, Christianity and Islam to the Israel–Palestine conflict, this is the epic

Digital needs increasing in communities 

• By Bea Gooding 

A SCHEME to provide 

computers to community 

organisations in need across the 

city has proven popular, with 

digital needs increasing due to 

Covid-19. 

The city council’s Computers 

to the Community Scheme 

offers computers for free to notfor-profit 

groups to help them 

deliver services more efficiently. 

Excluding the lockdown, 

between July 2019 and June this 

year, 220 laptops and desktops 

were distributed to organisations, 

including the Diamond 

Harbour Community Association 

and the City to Sumner 

Community Patrol. 

The Lyttelton Harbour Information 

Centre is staffed by volunteers 

who promote Lyttelton’s 

local services and activities and 

received two laptops from the 

scheme to help speed up productivity 

and to make brochures. 

Said manager Ruth Targus: 

“It’s saved us an absolute fortune, 

we couldn’t have afforded them. 

We would’ve had to fundraise 

otherwise. 

“With cruise ships coming in, 

we’re having to offer customers 

with more tours, therefore we’re 

selling more and needed a laptop 

with a better system.

“It’s meant a lot less time 

writing notes from meetings, it’s 

portable and it’s made things a 

lot more professional.” 

In the past few months, the 

city council noted an increase in 

requests from groups working 

with multi-cultural communities 

and have allocated about 

50 computers to organisations 

with a variety of cultural backgrounds. 

City council head of community 

support, governance and 

partnerships John Filsell said the 

cost associated with purchasing 

the technology was often a barrier. 

Said Filsell: “Covid-19 

highlighted the need and use of 

technology to feel connected, to 

keep in touch with friends and 

family both overseas and within 

New Zealand to get information, 

continuing education and 

support the ability to continue 

to work. 

“Some groups have made the 

computers available to those 

who do not have them, or used 

them to provide information and 

support to their communities 

by building up an electronic 

network. 

Meeting demand was not a 

major issue but at times the city 

council experienced a higher demand 

which meant some groups 

had to wait longer to receive 

their computers. 

Positive feedback from groups 

so far highlighted the impact of 

having the donated technology 

for productivity, as funding often 

lies with wages or rent. 

“At times we have a higher 

demand than others. In these 

cases, we do have a waiting list 

until such a time as we can get 

their needs met,” said Filsell. 

“If groups are looking to 

expand their supports or are 

just starting out and need 

technology, then the council’s 

computers are a good start.”

Banks Peninsula Water Zone Committee 

Kaitiakitanga key for community project 

More than 30 community members helped plant 400 trees along the Okuti 

River, in Little River, to preserve aquatic life, encourage more habitat for 

native birds, and protect the river margin. 

The river is extremely rich in biodiversity, with fish species including tuna/ 

eel and kanakana/lamprey, and an impressive array of freshwater insects. 

Many of these species are unique to Banks Peninsula and aren’t found 

anywhere else in the world. 

The planting day was organised by the Okuti River Project, a community-led 

initiative which aims to raise awareness of the value of the river, and the 

importance of kaitiakitanga/guardianship to sustaining life in it. 

The project receives $10,000 each year from Environment Canterbury’s 

Immediate Steps Biodiversity (IMS) fund until 2022, following a 

recommendation from the Banks Peninsula Water Zone 

Committee in 2018. The Christchurch City Council funded 

fencing for the area and helped prepare it for planting. 

For more information on the project, or its future community 

events,go to www.littleriver.org.nz. 

If you would like to know more about IMS funding, or other ways 

to protect biodiversity on your land or in your community

Solving congestion conundrum 

A strategy is under way 

to prevent Canterbury 

roads becoming 

congested like 

Auckland’s. Louis Day 

reports 

THE GREATER Christchurch 

Partnership’s mode shift plan, 

a collaboration from councils 

across the region, states that if 

current travel patterns continue 

unchanged and the population 

grows as expected, cars travelling 

in and out of the city could 

increase by 34 per cent by 2048. 

With already 87 per cent of 

household trips across Greater 

Christchurch being made in 

single-occupant vehicles, this 

would likely lead to a significant 

increase in congestion as well as 

emissions. 

“Action is needed now,” the 

report says. 

“This action must be sustained 

over the longer term, to avoid 

Greater Christchurch following 

in the footsteps of other major 

centres, where investment in mode 

shift has only occurred once congestion 

reached crisis point.” 

‘Mode shift” involves moving 

people away from single-occupancy 

vehicle use to alternative forms 

of transport such as public transport, 

ridesharing and active modes 

such as walking and cycling. 

Mayor Lianne Dalziel agreed 

action was needed now. 

“I look at Auckland and I 

look at essentially gridlock and 

we know that if Auckland is 

gridlocked the price if paid by the 

The Greater Christchurch 

Partnership is a 

group comprising the 

Christchurch City Council, 

Environment Canterbury, 

Selwyn District Council, 

Waimakariri District 

Council, Ngai Tahu, 

New Zealand Transport 

Agency, Canterbury 

District Health Board, 

the Greater Christchurch 

Group and Regenerate 

Christchurch.

whole country,” she said. 

“We have an opportunity to get 

ahead of the gridlock and actually 

make good decisions now 

that will assist us in the future.” 

The mode shift plan outlines 

short term priorities to encourage 

people to pursue alternative 

forms of transport. This includes 

spending $68 million on filling 

in “critical gaps” in the cycleway 

network, $10 million on public 

transport service improvements 

and up to $3 million on encouraging 

behaviour change. 

NZTA director of regional 

relationships Jim Harland said 

the next step was to figure out 

whether the money to fund the 

project could come out of existing 

transport budgets or have to 

be pursued elsewhere. 

This will not be the end of 

investment in this area, the plan 

states for the objectives of the 

plan to be delivered it will require 

significant ongoing investment. 

Greater Christchurch’s proliferating 

population puts emphasis 

on the need to alter travel habits 

to prevent future congestion. 

Its population is expected to 

increase from the 428,000 it was 

in 2013 to 640,000 in 2048. 

This combined with private 

vehicle centred travel habits 

only adds to the urgency. Single 

occupancy vehicle use remains 

high at 87 per cent while public 

transport use has remained 

stagnant since the earthquakes at 

about 2.5 per cent of peak hour 

travel. 

This equates to 13.5 million 

passenger trips a year. 

Patronage peaked at 17.2 

million trips per year in 

2010, but levels dropped 

by more than 40 per cent 

immediately after the 

earthquakes. 

Meanwhile, the plan 

outlines that cycling 

investment has resulted 

in “significant” increases in 

cycling numbers. The city council 

recorded 2234 cycle trips during 

a morning peak count in March, 

a decent increase from the 1869 

recorded during a morning peak 

period last year. 

This is an increase of nearly 20 

per cent, and follows a pattern of 

yearly increases since the council 

began building a network of 

major cycle routes around the 

city. 

The gender breakdown shows 

that 59 per cent of cyclists 

counted this year were men and 

41 per cent were women. This is 

a significant increase from the 

Axel Wilke 

32 per cent of women cyclists 

counted in 2016. 

The growing number of 

female cyclists was seen as 

a positive trend because 

international experience shows 

women particularly are unlikely 

to get on their bikes if they feel 

unsafe. 

Transport specialist 

Axel Wilke said if 

Greater Christchurch 

continued on the route it 

is currently on it would 

end up like Auckland. 

“When you talk about 

mode shift you have to 

stop building big roads 

beause it achieves the opposite,” 

he said. 

Wilke said reducing the 

amount of cars on the road 

was also imperative in meeting 

carbon emission goals. 

The city council is aiming 

to of halve Christchurch’s gas 

emissions by 2030 and reach net 

zero emissions by 2045. 

An investigation into 

Christchurch’s greenhouse gas 

emissions found the city emitted 

far more gas than it offsets. 

In 2016/17 the city emitted 

an estimated 2,485,335 gross 

tonnes of carbon dioxide which 

is the equivalent of 6.6 tonnes 

BY THE NUMBERS: 

• Statistics show 87 per cent of 

household trips across Greater 

Christchurch are being made in 

single-occupant vehicles 

• The public transport network 

currently accounts for 2.5 per 

cent of peak hour travel demand 

in Greater Christchurch, which 

equates for 13.5 million passenger 

trips per year. 

• Bus patronage peaked at 

17.2 million trips per year 

in 2010, but patronage levels 

dropped by more than 40 per 

cent post-earthquake. 

• Cycling counts from seven 

locations across the central city 

during the morning peak has 

increased from 1251 in 2016 to 

2234 in 2020. 

• The proportion of women 

cycling has increased from 31 

per cent in 2016 to 41 per cent in 

2020. 

• The greater Christchurch 

population is expected to 

increase from the 428,000 it was 

in 2013 to 640,000 in 2048. 

• In 2016/17 Christchurch 

emitted an estimated 2,485,335 

gross tonnes of carbon dioxide 

equivalent. 

• Transportation was the 

largest contributor to emissions 

at 53 per cent, followed by 

stationary energy at 22 per 

cent, agriculture at 10.5 per 

cent, waste at 9 per cent, 

and industrial processes and 

product use at 4.7 per cent. 

per person. While that is lower 

than Auckland (7.9 tonnes per 

person) and Dunedin (11 tonnes 

per person), it is more than 

Wellington (5.7 tonnes). 

Transport was also 

Christchurch’s largest 

contributor to emissions at 53 

per cent, followed by stationary 

energy at 22 per cent, agriculture 

at 10.5 per cent, waste at nine per 

cent 

and industrial processes at 4.7 

per cent.

No time frame to 

finish work at cemetery 

THERE SEEMS no 

guarantee a memorial 

entrance will be installed 

at a cemetery and a 

settlers’ headstones will be 

restored before anniversary 

celebrations in Akaroa. 

Events marking the 

180th anniversary of 

organised European 

settlement are slated for 

March. The Covid-19 

lockdown scuttled plans to 

mark the anniversary this 

year. 

The Comte de Paris 

Descendants Group and 

the Akaroa Cemeteries 

Group hoped work 

restoring two historically 

significant headstones 

would continue 

ahead of next year’s 

commemorations. 

The descendants group 

also hoped to get the goahead 

to install a memorial 

entrance at the Catholic 

cemetery. 

The headstones were 

among those identified 

as needing restoration 

after the Canterbury 

earthquakes. The gate 

was sought for the 175th 

anniversary. 

City council head of 

parks Andrew Rutledge 

confirmed the council 

knew what the group 

wanted achieved ahead of 

the commemorations. 

Headstone repair funds 

were frozen in the wake of 

the pandemic but another 

budget would be used to 

complete repairs in the 

Catholic cemetery. That 

work continued. 

A draft conservation 

plan would inform the 

resource consent needed to 

install the memorial gate 

at the Catholic cemetery. 

It was due this month, he 

confirmed. 

“At this stage we do not 

have a fixed time frame, 

but are very aware of the 

group’s wishes and are 

RESTORATION: Volunteers repairing headstones 

and graves in Akaroa. 

working hard to meet their 

needs,” he said. 

Elected members have 

had meetings with the 

group where requirements 

and time frames have been 

discussed, he said in a 

statement. 

When contacted, 

descendants group 

spokeswoman Linda 

Sunderland was 

disappointed the council 

could not commit to 

getting the work done by 

March. 

After a decade of missed 

deadlines and broken 

promises, the group 

was not confident in the 

council’s ability to help 

deliver the entrance, or the 

headstones, in time. 

The headstones were 

on a list prepared soon 

after the September 2010 

earthquake. The council 

originally offered to make 

fixing them a pilot project, 

she said. 

The list shrunk as 

council budgets and work 

plans changed. None 

had been fixed before the 

group asked for at least two 

to be completed for the 

anniversary. 

The group asked for 

help with the memorial 

entrance before the 2015 

anniversary. Council staff 

offered to help with the 

consents and plans were 

provided, she said. 

The group provided 

updated plans about 

18 months ago. It was 

disappointing there was 

now no fixed time frame to 

get the consent sorted, she 

said. 

The group had not asked 

for funding. That would 

come from the group and 

Heritage NZ, she said. 

“We have met their 

requirements plus a lot 

of voluntary labour and 

information has been 

handed over. The council 

have consistently not met 

their promises.” 

Deputy Mayor Andrew 

Turner said the council 

was “working with them 

to achieve their vision for 

the headstones and the 

memorial gates in the best 

way we can and as quickly 

as we can.”

Jane Potts 

Covid hero’s passion for medicine 

Jane Potts was 

recognised as a ‘Covid 

hero’ for her work 

volunteering as a St 

John ambulance officer 

during the lockdown. 

The former Redcliffs 

woman speaks to 

Devon Bolger about 

her commitment to 

the job and passion for 

medicine 

When did you start 

volunteering for St John? 

It would have been about 

eight years ago now. We moved 

[from the city] out to Selwyn 

after the earthquake and I 

started about six months to a 

year after that. 

Was your house badly 

damaged in the earthquake? 

Yes, we weren’t allowed to 

go back to our house it was 

so badly damaged. We were 

in Redcliffs at the time. The 

garage collapsed down on to the 

house. We just picked the kids 

up from school that day and left 

Christchurch. We were lucky, we 

had a bach at Whitecliffs which 

had clothes, food and water so 

we lived out there for about a 

year and a half. 

Do you have a call-out you 

attended that is the most 

memorable? 

There was one incident I 

remember where a lady had 

a baby in the back of the 

ambulance. We had the midwife 

with us in the back so there 

wasn’t too much to do but it was 

a nice job. Some of them are not 

very nice as you can imagine. 

Everybody was really happy 

and the mother and baby were 

fine so that was really cool to 

experience. 

You were nominated for your 

GIVE BACK: 

Former 

Redcliffs 

woman Jane 

Potts has been 

volunteering for 

St John Darfield 

for eight years 

after moving 

to the district 

following the 

earthquake. 

work during the lockdown, 

what was that like? 

We were reasonably quiet, I 

guess, over lockdown. Most of 

the call-outs were for medical 

things because people were not 

out and about or on the roads 

and things like that. When we 

did go to someone’s house we 

did have to stand quite far away 

from them. We had to ask them 

all of the Covid-19 questions 

before we could get close and 

check them over. 

I kept a change of clothes at 

the station and would have a 

shower, take my uniform home 

in a separate bag and wash it 

as soon as I got home. We also 

had to wear gloves and masks. 

Driving into town was great 

though because there was no 

traffic on the road so it was 

much quicker. There were a lot 

of things we had to do to be safe. 

We had to be very conscious of 

bringing it back to our houses. 

Can you tell me about your 

family? 

Rob and I have four 

children. The oldest is 29 and 

the youngest is 24. so they all 

don’t live at home anymore. 

The oldest is living in London, 

I’m not too sure when we will 

be able to see her again so that’s 

not very nice but she’s coping 

okay over there. The next oldest 

is a boy who is living down in 

Alexander with his partner. 

Then we have another boy who 

lives in Christchurch and our 

youngest is in her last year of 

university in Christchurch. 

They are all great kids we can’t 

complain.

Tasty Bites 

Crispy crumbed pork 

schnitzel served with 

rich mushroom gravy – 

that’s Jägerschnitzel. It’s 

one of Germany’s most 

popular and delicious 

foods. This authentic 

Jägerschnitzel recipe 

will absolutely delight 

your taste buds 

Authentic German Jägerschnitzel 

CRISPY: 

Authentic German 

Jägerschnitzel 

(Hunter schnitzel 

with mushroom 

gravy). 

4 tbsp all-purpose flour 

2 cups strong beef broth 

1-2 tsp balsamic vinegar (according 

to taste) 

½ tsp sea salt plus more to taste 

½ tsp sugar 

¼ tsp dried thyme 

¼ tsp freshly ground black 

pepper 

Optional: For a creamy gravy, 

add a few tbsp of heavy cream at 

the end 

Authentic German 

Jägerschnitzel 

(Hunter schnitzel with 

mushroom gravy) 

4 servings 

Ingredients 

Neutral-tasting oil for frying 

4 pieces of pork schnitzel 

Salt and freshly ground black 

pepper 

½ cup all-purpose flour 

combined with 1 tsp salt 

2 large eggs, lightly beaten 

¾ cup plain breadcrumbs 

Chopped fresh parsley, garnish 

Directions 

Lightly sprinkle both sides of 

the pork with salt and freshly 

ground black pepper. 

Place the flour mixture, egg, and 

breadcrumbs in three separate 

shallow bowls. 

Dredge the pork in the flour, 

the egg, and the breadcrumbs, 

coating both sides and all edges 

at each stage. Be careful not to 

press the breadcrumbs into the 

meat. Gently shake off the excess 

crumbs. (Note: Don’t let the 

schnitzel sit in the coating or they 

will not be as crispy once fried - 

fry immediately.) 

Heat the oil to 170 deg C (not 

hotter or the schnitzel will burn 

before the meat is done, not lower 

or the schnitzel will absorb the oil 

and be greasy). Use just enough 

oil so that the schnitzels ‘swim’ 

in it. Fry the schnitzel for about 

2-3min on both sides until a deep 

golden brown. Transfer briefly to 

a plate lined with paper towels. 

Serve immediately topped with 

mushroom gravy and garnished 

with chopped fresh parsley. 

Avoid completely drenching the 

schnitzel with gravy so that it still 

remains crispy. 

Mushroom gravy 

Ingredients 

2 tbsp butter or lard 

1 onion, finely chopped 

1 clove garlic, minced 

450gm button mushrooms, 

cleaned and sliced 

4 tbsp butter 

Directions 

Melt the butter (or lard) in a 

pan over medium-high heat and 

fry the onions until beginning to 

brown. Add the garlic and cook 

another minute. 

Add the mushrooms and cook 

5-7min or until golden and the 

liquid from the mushrooms has 

evaporated. 

Add the butter and melt. Add 

the flour, stir to combine and 

cook for about 2min, stirring 

continually. 

Add the beef broth, vinegar, 

thyme, sugar, salt and pepper. 

Whisk continuously until 

the gravy is thickened. Cover 

and simmer on low, stirring 

occasionally, for 5-10min. Add 

salt and pepper to taste. If you 

prefer the gravy thinner add a 

little more water (or heavy cream 

if using).

Wine 

Depth and character 

reds produce 

increased drinkability 

• By Mark Henderson 

WINE LOVERS of 

a certain age will 

remember references to a 

characteristic called “Kiwi 

green”. 

No, I’m not talking about 

another mind-altering 

substance now under 

debate, but a pronounced 

green, leafy, capsicum 

note that was prevalent 

in cabernet-based New 

Zealand reds from the 80s 

and 90s. 

It is derived from a 

chemical compound called 

methoxypyrazine, which 

is also found in sauvignon 

blanc. 

Discussion during 

the tasting centred on 

the eradication of this 

character, with the 

increased drinkability this 

has given New Zealand 

reds.

4 bedrooms 3 bathrooms 2 car garage 2 offstreet parks - Listing Number: SM0375 

This substantial executive property, with its 

attractive exterior, is a standout amongst 

others. 

Well positioned off the road, on a 1008sqm 

site with flat area for the kids to play, that is 

private and protected from the easterlies, 

the home offers few clues as to what to expect 

once inside. 

On entering the dwelling, you will be instantly 

impressed by the abundance of 

space, light, and the sensational expansive 

views. The home is beautifully presented 

making it clear that my owners have taken 

great pride in maintaining the property to 

a high standard during their tenure. 

Recently re-clad in Abodo Vulcan timber 

and 40mm EPS plaster on 20mm cavity system, 

the freshly painted home has a modern 

day look and appeal. 

The entrance level is mainly dedicated to 

living, with two generous interconnecting 

living areas. One combining open plan living/ 

dining/kitchen, with sliding doors to a 

sun-soaked balcony. The separate lounge 

overlooks the beautifully presented garden 

and extends to another outdoor space 

where you can sit and soak in the breathtaking 

day, night views and stunning sunsets, 

overlooking the city, through to the 

snow-capped Southern Alps. 

Also on this level is an area that could be 

utilised as a gym, work from home space or 

as a child's play area, plus there is a study, 

along with a generous double bedroom 

with ensuite. 

The functional floor plan focuses on comfort 

and busy modern day living, making 

the home ideal for families, and those who 

love to entertain, host visitors or work from 

home. In total there are four double bedrooms, 

one with its own living space, two 

with their own ensuites, plus a separate 

family bathroom. 

Whilst benefiting from the frequently 

warmer air temperature of Mt Pleasant, the 

double glazing and all-day sun, ensure the 

home stays warm and cosy. 

Add internal garaging, off street parking 

and tons of storage for all the modern toys. 

For those with green fingers the grounds 

will impress and delight and there is still 

ample room for the children and pets too.

Family wagon with performance 

MERCEDES-BENZ is certainly 

covering all bases in the sport 

utility vehicle market. 

Its product line-up is extensive 

and it’s still growing. The 

company has just launched a 

brand new range of SUVs – the 

GLB series. 

There are three variants in the 

line-up – 200, 250 and 35, all 

turbocharged. Put simply the 

designations represent a 1.3-litre 

variant at 120kW, and two 2-litre 

variants at 165kW and 225kW 

respectively, the latter essentially 

utilise the same power plant but 

with greater boost for the 35. 

This evaluation surrounds the 

250, it is priced at $92,900, the 

200 and 35 list at $78,900 and 

$104,900 respectively. These 

prices are relatively familyfriendly; 

sure it’s out of the 

mainstream, but if you want 

an SUV and are interested in 

a premium brand, the GLB is 

competitive. 

The GLB series is very 

traditional in its design, it’s a 

seven-seater, albeit compact, 

and it carries four-wheel-drive 

mechanicals, well at least it does 

in 250 and 35 form, the entrylevel 

model is front-wheel-drive 

only. 

Powering the GLB are the 

engines which have filtered 

through other Mercedes-Benz 

product. I’ve experienced the 

250 engine many times before 

and I have always commented 

on its smooth, quiet operation; 

it needs to be, there are a raft 

of other four-cylinder, 2-litre 

turbocharged engines on the 

market and they are all refined, 

the GLB’s unit is up to par and 

lacks nothing, even in low power 

form. 

The 250 is also rated with 

350Nm of torque, which is an 

impressive and useful figure, 

but if you are interested in more 

bottom end grunt the 35 pumps 

out an extra 50Nm. 

I’d be comfortable with the 

250, it’s no slouch when it comes 

to performance, Mercedes-Benz 

claims a 6.9sec run to 100km/h 

and through the mid-range 

it fairly hunts through an 

overtaking manoeuvre taking just 

4.7sec to make 120km/h from 

80km/h. 

These are good times for a 

chunky SUV, the GLB weighs in 

at 1721kg, so it’s no lightweight, 

which reinforces how versatile and 

honest the engine is, and if you 

listen carefully you can just pick 

that something exciting sits under 

the bonnet, there’s a well-muffled 

MERCEDES-BENZ GLB250: Sport utility vehicle available in 

three levels. 

exhaust throb when the engine is 

under load. 

The engine is also the fuelmiser 

that modern turbocharging 

techniques provide us with. 

A combined cycle average of 

7.7-litres per 100km is claimed. 

During my time in the test car the 

fuel usage readout was constantly 

listing around 8.6l/100km with 

an instantaneous readout of 

6l/100km recorded at 100km/h in 

eighth gear. 

On the subject of fuel usage, 

I must mention the display 

graphics make saving fuel easy, 

the fonts and colours are easy 

to read and understand, and 

their constant presence reminds 

the driver to take it easy on the 

throttle. 

That’s part of a comprehensive 

display graphic structure, a 

wide panel stretches across the 

dash area and it contains much 

depth in terms of functionality 

and detail. There’s also the 

voice command system that 

is being incorporated into all 

Mercedes-Benz product. Say 

“Hey Mercedes’’ and with further 

prompts many of the operating 

systems will be adjusted at your 

beck and call. 

On the road the GLB rides 

beautifully, it doesn’t get air 

suspension, but such is the quality 

of the underpinnings I had to 

keep constantly reminding myself 

of that. 

I took the test car west through 

the Malvern Hills on one of my 

favourite high country roads, 

returning to the city via Hororata 

and Burnham. The GLB is a 

fabulous cruiser, it is superbly quiet 

and, as mentioned, the suspension 

affords a ride that doesn’t tax the 

driver on a long journey. 

As is traditional fare, the 

GLB gets several dynamic drive 

modes, I didn’t use either of the 

sport modes other than just for 

exploratory purposes, the 

• Price – Mercedes-Benz 

GLB250, $92,900 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4634mm; width, 1834mm; 

height, 1658mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

four-wheel-drive, 

1991cc, 165kW, 350Nm, 

eight-speed automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 6.9sec 

• Fuel usage – 7.7l/100km 

engine is feisty enough in 

normal mode and is easily a 

match for the role of a mid-size 

SUV, and in true luxury car 

fashion the entire driveline reeks 

of refinement. 

The GLB is also incredibly 

well appointed, there’s nothing 

you’d want for, and if you take 

into account Mercedes-Benz’s 

extensive list of options and 

extras, then it can be tailormade 

to suit each and every individual’s 

requirements. 

I can’t imagine that 

Mercedes-Benz will be developing 

another SUV any time soon; 

however, I suspect another couple 

of models will be added to the 

GLB series as time goes on. 

Mercedes-Benz is in a good 

situation, SUV sales are showing 

no signs of slowing, and even 

though the market is tough due 

to the coronavirus pandemic, 

buyers are still looking for the 

complete family wagon. 

The GLB goes a long way to 

address that.

HARRIET 

MILLAR 

ARTISTS BIOGRAPHY 

Harriet was born in Manchester and 

brought up in a place called Wirral 

(Merseyside) just south of Liverpool. 

Drawing and painting for her was 

all consuming. 

At 18 she left Wirral Art School for a 

place at Derby University to study Art 

History and Psychology, this was 

followed by a Post Graduate Diploma in 

Sport Science at John Moore’s University 

Liverpool. Then came a move to New 

Zealand and five children later, Harriet 

decided after her parents died and left 

her a few bob (not much) she would love 

to spend it on a piece of art work. 

After about six months of searching 

Harriet wondered if she could actually 

make the art she was searching for. 

Harriet then invested in a $400 huge 

canvas and painted her two youngest 

children. This was followed by a painting 

of all five children. 

After several people asking if Harriet 

could do the same for them she 

wondered if I was onto something. 

Harriet realised that if she was on this 

path she needed to train after so many 

lost years. Harriet trained at a workshop 

in Sydney Australia with her favourite 

and hero artist Richard Claremont who 

changed everything, he taught Harriet 

to paint looser! 

Harriet does not regard herself as an 

artist, a designer of artwork seems 

more accurate. This is because she 

does not believe she is technically 

brilliant . Harriet does know a good 

composition when she sees one. It’s 

taken Harriet a lifetime to realise you 

don’t have to be Michelangelo, you 

need to find your niche, the thing that 

works for you. Harriet couldn’t work 

with the rules, they don’t work for her, 

that’s not to say she does not get the 

rules! Harriet never clicked with the 

academic side of art (she does 

understand it), it’s just not for her. 

Harriet paints what she see at that 

moment, nothing else matters and 

whatever happens, happens. All sense 

of time is lost, she does not actually 

remember doing the work. Harriet 

paints the composition that fits with 

the way her mind works. She loves 

geometric shapes, reflections of light 

and naturally forming patterns. 

The New Zealand landscape offers a 

perfect opportunity to discover new 

shapes and colour tones while 

providing the story of people’s lives. 

What makes a person buy a particular 

piece of work is what interests her, 

their story! Whether they were married 

in that spot or the flowers remind them 

of their mother, it means a lot to Harriet 

and she loves hearing about it, it means 

you have a connection.
