Peninsula<br />
residents<br />
strong on<br />
fire safety<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
THERE WERE few house fires<br />
in Banks Peninsula compared to<br />
those in Christchurch since 2017.<br />
There were four fires in Akaroa<br />
in 2017 but there have been none<br />
since.<br />
Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> has also<br />
only had four and none so far this<br />
year.<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong> has had two<br />
fires, Little River has had three<br />
and Lyttelton has had 10.<br />
By comparison, 666 of the<br />
689 house fires were in Christchurch.<br />
In July, eight-year-old Braydon<br />
Mulligan-Gibson and ninemonth-old<br />
Arianna Mulligan-<br />
Cooke died when the house they<br />
were in on Vivian St, Burwood,<br />
went up in flames.<br />
Robert William Jones, 69,<br />
also died in July after a blaze at<br />
his home in Conservators Rd,<br />
McLeans Island.<br />
Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> Volunteer<br />
Fire Brigade chief fire officer Bob<br />
Palmer said the reason why Banks<br />
Peninsula has had so few house<br />
fires since 2017 is likely because<br />
many residents there live rurally<br />
and more mindful of the role they<br />
have to play to prevent fires.<br />

Cooking causes fires<br />
•From page 1<br />
“People in isolated areas are<br />
generally more careful because<br />
they realise they are isolated<br />
and that with<br />
everything they<br />
do in their lives<br />
they’ve got to be<br />
a bit innovative<br />
and a bit more<br />
self-reliant and<br />
got to be able to<br />
Bob Palmer<br />
look after themselves<br />
more than<br />
those who are<br />
squashed into a city where they’ve<br />
got resources all over the place,”<br />
he said.<br />
Palmer said in recent years Fire<br />
Emergency New Zealand has<br />
put more of a push on educating<br />
Banks Peninsula residents<br />
on how to avoid fires, including<br />
when it is and is not safe to carry<br />
out controlled burn-offs.<br />
In his 34 years fighting fires in<br />
the area, Palmer said he only recalls<br />
one or two that have resulted<br />
in fatalities and very few which<br />
have caused injuries.<br />
Unattended cooking has been<br />
by far the most common cause<br />
of house fires in Christchurch<br />
and Banks Peninsula since 2017.<br />
One hundred and fifty eight have<br />
started as a result of this.<br />
Christchurch city has had 120<br />

house fires, the most in this time<br />
period, followed by Wigram with<br />
119 and Spreydon with 102.<br />
Harewood has had 80, Redwood<br />
73 and there have been 72<br />
in the area that Anzac Fire Station<br />
serves.<br />
Other notable causes include<br />
combustible items being placed<br />
too close to heat sources, which<br />
has resulted in 52 house fires.<br />
Short-circuiting caused 31 and<br />
other electrical failures caused 65.<br />
Some of the most unusual<br />
causes include falling asleep while<br />
smoking, which resulted in one<br />
house fire, and an animal, which<br />
also caused one.<br />
Of the 689 house fires, 72 were<br />
deemed as suspicious or unlawful.<br />
House fires resulted in three deaths<br />
and 55 injuries, with the most common<br />
being caused by burns.<br />
Cooking appliances caused the<br />
most fires out of all the equipment<br />
in houses. 63 were caused<br />
by microwaves or ovens and 60<br />
were caused by stovetops.<br />
Lighting features such as lamps<br />
or bulbs started 21 house fires<br />
and, noticeably, battery chargers<br />
caused three and a computer<br />
caused one.<br />
Firefighters have helped 587<br />
people get to safety during house<br />
fires since 2017.<br />

Blast from the past at museum<br />
A WORLD War 2 naval sea<br />
mine has “washed up” at Akaroa<br />
Museum.<br />
After spending many years<br />
bobbing on the Waikato River as<br />
a buoy for a hydro scheme, the<br />
deactivated cast iron oval has<br />
found a new home, dropping<br />
into the museum collection in<br />
recognition of the local harbour’s<br />
defensive minefield history.<br />
Akaroa Museum director<br />
Lynda Wallace said the mine is<br />
the same as those laid across the<br />
harbour in January 1943.<br />
“Akaroa was the only South<br />
Island harbour with mines,” said<br />
Wallace.<br />
“At the height of World War 2,<br />
it was protected by a row of 64<br />
mines, each containing 500lb of<br />
TNT.<br />
“Known as J.L.8, the minefield<br />
was laid out in four loops of 16.<br />
Along with nearby infrastructure,<br />
it formed part of New Zealand’s<br />
strategic coastal defences<br />
during the war.”<br />
The Royal New Zealand Navy<br />
could detonate the controlled<br />
mines from the shore base following<br />
any sighting of an enemy<br />
vessel – including a submarine –<br />
creeping into the harbour.<br />
Costing £18,240 and completed<br />
in 1943, the Akaroa Battery<br />
included roads, a jetty, gun<br />
emplacements, searchlights and<br />
an accommodation block, along<br />
with the minefield.<br />
“Today, you can still see the<br />
old depot – a large building<br />
across the harbour from Akaroa<br />
in Tikao <strong>Bay</strong> – built to store the<br />
sea mines,” said Wallace.<br />
However, the Akaroa minefield<br />
soon became a “white elephant.”<br />

More than a year after the<br />
minelayer Alsey and the base<br />
ship Atreus put down the field,<br />
the Defence Department downgraded<br />
the threat of an invasion<br />
by sea and ordered the navy to<br />
blow up the mines.<br />
“Some older Akaroa residents<br />
can still recall the huge explosions<br />
that echoed around the<br />
harbour on February 21, 1944,”<br />
said Wallace.<br />
“All but two of the mines were<br />
detonated. However, the navy<br />
concluded that those mines had<br />
probably flooded and would not<br />
pose a risk to shipping.<br />
“Just a few years later, a fishing<br />
boat working off the heads<br />
of Akaroa <strong>Harbour</strong> reported a<br />
floating mine. It was soon sunk<br />
by the navy offshore.”<br />
Wallace said the sea mine is<br />
being stored behind the scenes<br />
in readiness for a new museum<br />
exhibition that will capture the<br />
story for new generations.<br />

Resurgence for Sumner rugby<br />
• By Chris Barclay<br />
WHILE NEW Zealand Rugby<br />
plots in accordance with World<br />
Cup cycles, the brains trust<br />
behind Sumner’s resurgent Colts<br />
side took an even longer term<br />
view in the quest for success.<br />
Realising there was a competent<br />
group of teens at the club in<br />
2014, they also knew they faced<br />
the age-old issue of making sure<br />
the boys returned to play after<br />
their secondary schooling.<br />
So club management formulated<br />
a plan to ensure the boys,<br />
many of whom had played<br />
alongside each other as five-yearolds,<br />
were coaxed back in a bid<br />
to win a championship.<br />
“The thing with Sumner is it’s<br />
a great junior club with plenty of<br />
numbers, but because we have<br />
no real recognised rugby high<br />
school in our area the kids go<br />
off to school and turn out for<br />
Boys’ High or Christ’s College<br />
or wherever,” explained Richie<br />
Dimbleby, who coached the boys<br />
when they were in primary.<br />
“And once they’ve played their<br />
first XV rugby they don’t come<br />
back to the club, they’re snapped<br />
up by those town clubs.”<br />
So the club organised an annual<br />
get together between players<br />
and their parents to maintain<br />
friendships during the five-year<br />
hiatus.<br />
SUCCESS: The bulk of Sumner’s under-13 squad in 2014<br />
returned to the club in <strong>2020</strong> to team up and take out the<br />
Metro Premier Colts competition.<br />
PHOTO: RICHIE DIMBLEBY<br />
“We thought they’d end up<br />
being pretty good so we thought<br />
‘Why don’t we try and keep<br />
them all together so when they<br />
finish school they come back<br />
and play their colts rugby for<br />
Sumner,” Dimbleby said.<br />
The “Sumner Storm <strong>2020</strong>”<br />
strategy gained traction when<br />
a dozen of the boys fronted for<br />
pre-season training in December,<br />
where Sumner life member<br />
and Crusaders coach Scott<br />
Robertson oversaw some early<br />
drills, which drew interest from<br />
potential players.<br />
With the old boys in tow,<br />
manager Ryan Turner and head<br />
coach Gareth D’Almeida recruited<br />
the rest of the 30-strong<br />
roster for Sumner’s ambitious<br />
return to the Metro Premier<br />
Colts competition.<br />
“It all came together better<br />
than we’d ever dreamed of, we<br />
were aiming for top four,” Dimbleby<br />
admitted.<br />
Ultimately Sumner achieved<br />
that goal before eliminating New<br />
Brighton and thrashing Lincoln<br />
University 33-0 in the <strong>September</strong><br />
12 decider at St Leonards Square.<br />
The squad disperses after another<br />
celebration this weekend,<br />
though the game is far from<br />
over.<br />
All but one of the key players<br />
– flanker Alby O’Shannessey has<br />
returned to the US on a rugby<br />
scholarship at Washington State<br />
University – are eligible to defend<br />
the title, though some have<br />
been set other goals by the club.<br />
A batch will graduate to a rebuilding<br />
Metro Premier division<br />
one side, which struggled this<br />
season after Covid-19 sabotaged<br />
their usual ploy of signing overseas<br />
players.<br />
The situation was so dire<br />
Sumner had to default their final<br />
round game because they could<br />
not field <strong>23</strong> fit personnel.<br />
“Four or five will move up to<br />
our senior team and we’ll keep<br />
feeding in more kids from the<br />
bottom, keep building the club<br />
that way,” Dimbleby said.<br />
Ollie Lewis, a New Zealand<br />
secondary schools rep and now<br />
member of the Crusaders academy,<br />
is among those earmarked<br />
for promotion.<br />
So the title was especially<br />
meaningful for the first fiveeighth<br />
who reunited with<br />
kindergarten mate Josh Stenberg<br />
and fellow Sumner under-6s<br />
Harri Langworthy and Mitch<br />
Cox.<br />
“It’s probably been my most<br />
enjoyable year with just a bunch<br />
of good mates playing footy.<br />
There’s no pressure going on, it<br />
was almost like we were playing<br />
junior rugby again,” he said.<br />

Parliament only eight weeks into<br />
her tenure on the council.<br />
The 24-year-old, who had lived<br />
in Riccarton all her life, said she<br />
has moved to Mt Pleasant to show<br />
how serious she was about becoming<br />
the MP for the peninsula.<br />
“I think leading up to the<br />
election, because I really want<br />
to represent the community,<br />
I thought it was important to<br />
actually live in the community,”<br />
she said.<br />
However, she insisted fulfilling<br />
her duties as a councillor<br />
remained a priority for her.<br />
“I have always said, even when I<br />
am campaigning, my priority is to<br />
be a councillor for Riccarton.”<br />

Follow whitebaiting rules<br />
FINES: Keep within the gear limits if you go whitebaiting.<br />
PEOPLE ARE reminded to follow<br />
the conservation laws protecting<br />
native species in the peninsula<br />
region as the Department of<br />
Conservation’s new enforcement<br />
system rolls out.<br />
The wider region is one of the<br />
pilot areas for the new enforcement<br />
system which allows DOC<br />
to issue infringement notices,<br />
as well as the existing tools of a<br />
warning letter or prosecution.<br />
Infringement notices can come<br />
with a $200 to $800 fine. They do<br />
result in a criminal conviction.<br />
Repeat offenders or those committing<br />
serious offences can still<br />
be prosecuted.<br />
Mahaanui operations manager<br />
Andy Thompson said the region<br />
features special places which are<br />
home to amazing species, such as<br />
the Akaroa and Pohatu marine<br />
reserves, and the Kaitorete dunelands.<br />
“Our two marine reserves<br />
are home to iconic South<br />
Island species like rawaru/blue<br />
cod, paua and koura/crayfish.<br />
Pohatu is home to the largest<br />
little blue penguin colony on<br />
mainland New Zealand, and both<br />
reserves are visited by endangered<br />
hector’s dolphins.<br />
“Pohatu is also a popular recreational<br />
spot, with many people<br />
visiting to enjoy the biodiversity<br />
offered in the reserve. The notake<br />
rules help to conserve this<br />
ecosystem.”<br />
Most people understand the<br />
rules and are happy to follow<br />
them, but there are some instances<br />
where people did not, he said.<br />
“Some of the most common<br />
offences we see are in relation<br />
to dogs and wildlife, fishers<br />
breaking whitebaiting rules, and<br />
people disturbing the rare birds<br />
that live on our braided rivers.<br />
“The highest number of prosecutions<br />
is in relation to the marine<br />
reserves at Banks Peninsula.”<br />
DOC has installed new signs<br />
on the cliffs above the marine<br />
reserve, to make the boundaries<br />
clearer. There are also improved<br />
signs at boat ramps.<br />
“We want to educate people in<br />
the first instance, but for those<br />
who do continue to break the<br />
rules, there is now a chance you<br />
will be fined.”<br />
Whitebaiting season had<br />
started and fishers were reminded<br />
to follow the rules, including<br />
keeping within the gear limits<br />
and staying within 10m of their<br />
net.<br />
“We do have warranted officers<br />
out there in the field, keeping an<br />
eye to make sure people are following<br />
the rules.<br />
Offences will be recorded in<br />
DOC’s new enforcement system<br />
database, helping to build a<br />
national picture of complaince<br />
across the country.<br />

as a Category 2 historic site.<br />

A PAIR of straight terraces in<br />
Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> have been<br />
recognised as historically and<br />
archaeologically significant.<br />
Stoddart Weirs, in the <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
Sports Ground at Stoddart Point,<br />
have been added to the New Zealand<br />
Heritage List as a Category 2<br />
historic site.<br />
The two straight terraces in<br />
a gully are the remains of two<br />
weirs built in 1862 by early pakeha<br />
settler Mark Stoddart.<br />
They created a pond as a reliable<br />
water supply for his stock<br />
and horticultural business.<br />
“The weirs tell an important<br />
story of how early pakeha settlers<br />
modified their environment,”<br />
Heritage New Zealand senior<br />
heritage assessment adviser Robyn<br />
Burgess said.<br />
The upper weir was “unusually”<br />
constructed of local volcanic<br />
rocks and was wide enough<br />
to drive a horse and cart across,<br />
Burgess said.<br />
The lower weir is of earth and<br />
stone.<br />
The weirs are connected to<br />
Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong>’s oldest building,<br />
Stoddart Cottage, home to<br />
Stoddart and his wife, Anna.<br />
Their orchards, extensive vegetable<br />
gardens and crops relied<br />
on the weirs’ water.<br />
Heritage New Zealand senior<br />
archaeologist Frank van der Heijden<br />
assessed the site as having<br />
moderate to high archaeological<br />
values.<br />
If investigated using<br />
archaeological methods, they<br />
could provide significant<br />
information on the construction<br />
methods used by early pakeha<br />
settlers,” he said.<br />

THE AVON-Heathcote<br />
Estuary has welcomed<br />
back the first of the<br />
godwits from Alaska, who<br />
have made the eight-day,<br />
11,000km journey back to<br />
their feeding spots.<br />
About 125 bar-tailed<br />
godwits have so far arrived<br />
from their breeding<br />
grounds from the other<br />
side of the world to enjoy<br />
the warmer months in<br />
Canterbury, and many<br />
more were to be expected<br />
over the next few weeks.<br />
The city council ornithologist<br />
Andrew Crossland<br />
said they arrived on<br />

date as the previous years<br />
of 2015 and 2017, and was<br />

after flying<br />
11,000km<br />

Godwits return to<br />
estuary feeding spots<br />
expecting between 1300 to<br />
1500 more godwits arrivals<br />
by the end of November<br />

During NZ’s winter, 306<br />
godwits were counted on<br />

Tanya Jenkins is the manager of the Avon-Heathcote<br />
Estuary Ihutai Trust, a non-profit organisation formed in<br />
2002 to protect one of New Zealand’s most important<br />
coastal wetlands. Each week she introduces a new bird found<br />
in the estuary. Her column aims to raise the understanding of<br />
the values and uniqueness of the area.<br />
Safe home for gull hard to find<br />
THE BLACK billed gull/<br />
tarapuka is found only<br />
in New Zealand and is<br />
unfortunately the most<br />
endangered of all the<br />
world’s gull species.<br />
Classified as ‘nationally<br />
critical’ we may well loose<br />
this species all together.<br />
THey normally nest<br />
in colonies in braided<br />
rivers but for some reason<br />
(believed to be frightened<br />
away from braided rivers<br />
due to floods, four-wheeldrive<br />
vehicles and motorcycle<br />
disturbance) a colony<br />
established itself on the<br />
islands in Charlesworth<br />
reserve four years ago<br />
believing this to be<br />
sanctuary.<br />
However, its nesting<br />
attempt was a failure due<br />
to the savage attack of<br />
the chicks by the much<br />
larger black backed gull<br />
whose numbers have<br />
increased manyfold<br />
since colonisation and<br />
its consequent waste<br />
produced.<br />
Quite happy to scavenge<br />
in landfills near the<br />
estuary, it thrived here<br />
and an has now become a<br />
major threat to other bird<br />
species by preying on eggs<br />
and chicks.<br />
THe black billed gulls<br />
tried again to raise chicks<br />
in Charlesworth Reserve<br />
three years ago but were<br />
again, not very successful<br />
due to predation of<br />
the black backed gulls<br />
although some chicks<br />
managed to survive.<br />
Is it then that out of<br />
desperation they decided<br />
to try to establish up a<br />
colony in the central city<br />
among the debris of a half<br />
demolished building in<br />
Armagh St?<br />
Not exactly an ideal<br />
nor natural nesting site<br />

COLLINS<br />
although very popular<br />
attracting many people to<br />
peer through the windows<br />
of the fenced off area to<br />
view these unique and<br />
threatened birds.<br />
It is hoped that the ‘powers<br />
to be’ agree to adopt a<br />
proposed black backed gull<br />
management plan around<br />
the estuary to provide the<br />
species a chance to return<br />
to the estuary to nest.<br />
We can only hope that<br />
with predator control of<br />
cats, rats, hedgehog, stoats<br />
and the black backed gull<br />
we may see these stunning<br />
but sadly threatened black<br />
bills nest successfully<br />
around our estuary again.

McMaster & Heap<br />
Veterinary practice<br />
EXCITING<br />
SURGICAL<br />
TIMES AHEAD<br />
What is “dull”. No such day at McMaster & Heap. Each<br />
day brings new excitement, a large, interesting caseload<br />
and complex cases to work through and solve. We<br />
are extremely fortunate to have a close team of 9<br />
veterinarians who enjoy collaboration, problem solving<br />
and just helping each other out – all for the patients<br />
benefit. Having a surgical specialist (Dr Helen Milner)<br />
on board means we get referred the more challenging,<br />
complicated, often acute trauma cases that are too<br />
difficult to manage in a private practice. Your whole team<br />
needs to be passionate about this referral process which<br />
over the years has<br />
grown substantially.<br />
Twenty Years ago<br />
it started with just<br />
Steve seeing eye<br />
referrals for the<br />
South island and<br />
it has grown to<br />
include specialists<br />
in Ultrasonography<br />
and Referral Surgery.<br />
Hence why we<br />
recently built a new<br />
addition to allow<br />
us the space and<br />
resources to grow<br />
our referral business.<br />
It is definitely cool to<br />
see these complexes<br />
surgeries happening<br />
under our very own<br />
roof.<br />
We see referral<br />
consultations 7 days<br />
a week if required.<br />
Often the calls come<br />
late in the evening<br />
or over the weekend<br />
so we have systems<br />
in place whereby<br />
the patient can<br />
be seen and the<br />
referral process started. Our whole team helps to ensure<br />
the client feels comfortable and happy with our service<br />
as often these people are meeting us for the first time.<br />
Their pet is our priority though and measures are quickly<br />
taken to make sure their condition is stabilised, they are<br />
not in pain and they are getting the hospital nursing care<br />
they require. Obtaining the entire set of records from the<br />
primary vet clinic is essential for the best deliverance of<br />
care from our end. We need to know what diagnostic tests<br />
have been run and what medications prescribed.<br />
Recently we had 2 very special patients presented with<br />
excellent surgical outcomes.<br />
The first was a 9 year old “Maximus”, a 70kg Dogue de<br />
Bordeaux, who with the expertise of Helen Milner and<br />
Richard Lucy, had his pacemaker replaced as the battery<br />
life was nearing its end. They typically last 4-5 years in<br />
dogs and the first cardiac pacemaker was successfully<br />
implanted in a dog in 1968.<br />
Maximus first had a pacemaker inserted 4 years ago due<br />
to 3rd degree heart block (a degeneration of the hearts<br />
conduction system) resulting in a low heart rate of 40<br />
bpm. Hence he would collapse if he became excited<br />
or tried to exercise. He has had several adjustments<br />
to his pacemaker over the years due to scarring and<br />
fibrosis around the epicardial lead implantation site.<br />
Consequently pacemaker output was adjusted and<br />
this increased battery consumption. However he<br />
has maintained an excellent quality of life with the<br />
pacemaker set at 75 bpm.<br />
The battery life has been closely monitored over the<br />
past 6 months and during this time we were seeing<br />
degeneration of his own cardiac conduction system,<br />
resulting in total loss of his native rhythm. He became<br />
100% reliant on the pacemaker to keep him alive.<br />
Our team felt it necessary to replace the pacemaker<br />
generator as the battery output was low. We called<br />
on the expertise of Rose<br />
from Medtronic ( a Cardiac<br />
Electrophysiology Technician) to<br />
replace the generator.<br />
Maximus needed a<br />
full anaesthetic and a<br />
team of experienced<br />
people to help replace<br />
the pacemaker battery.<br />
At one point 9 people<br />
were in theatre, all<br />
with important jobs<br />
to do from monitoring<br />
his anaesthetic, to the<br />
surgical placement and<br />
through to setting up<br />
the pacemaker.<br />
Complications<br />
documented are seromas around<br />
the surgical site, dislodgement of<br />
the pacing lead, tissue reaction<br />
sufficient to prevent the pacing capture, heart<br />
failure, infections and system malfunctions<br />
within the pacemaker itself.<br />
Maximus’s new generation generator was<br />
Bluetooth enabled and works through his<br />
owners’ mobile phone app. It sends all the<br />
information on Maximus’s cardiac activity<br />
(stored by the generator) to a central database,<br />
where the information can be instantly analysed<br />
and adjustments made from<br />
a distance if deemed necessary.<br />
Maximus has enjoyed years of a care<br />
free, pain free life with a pacemaker.<br />
He’s everyone’s friend and living his<br />
best life, now he has a regular heart<br />
rhythm. He just needs to stare clear of<br />
magnetic fields ( No MRI’s for him).<br />
The second case was a 3 year old<br />
“Mac”, a20kg Border Collie who was<br />
involved in a serious road traffic<br />
accident and suffered multiple<br />
fractures to his pelvis and hindlegs,<br />
ligament injuries involving his stifle<br />
and hock, and severe muscle trauma<br />
and bruising to both hindlegs. He was<br />
unable to weight bear on arrival and<br />
urinating was near impossible due to<br />
pain.<br />
Immediately our surgical team was all over him, providing<br />
multimodal pain relief, antiobiosis, IVF support and initial<br />
patient stabilization. He needed to be heavily sedated<br />
to assess, clean and bandage his wounds, catheterize<br />
his bladder and radiograph to evaluate what his injuries<br />
were so Helen Milner could start to plan for the multiple<br />
surgeries that lay ahead for Mac.<br />
In 21 years of working<br />
at McMaster & Heap, we<br />
have never had such a<br />
complicated surgical<br />
patient necessitating<br />
a high level of care on<br />
every level. Mac underwent three orthopaedic surgeries<br />
to repair fractures and ligament injuries over a week,<br />
afterhours care at our clinic (thanks to Dr Kirsty who<br />
stayed awake all night with him on an airbed) and<br />
intensive 24hr hospitalisation care. He was on so many<br />
medications to cover pain, inflammation, infection, gastro<br />
protectants and anxiety medications, that it was lucky we<br />
had “Smartflow” ( a computorized monitoring system) to<br />
record exactly what he required and when it was given.<br />
Nothing was forgotton. He needed his urine output<br />
measured via a closed catheterization system, he needed<br />
assisted sling walking and proper kennel hygiene. Lucky<br />
for us he liked his tucker, so the<br />
nutrition side was easy.<br />
The client travelled home as she<br />
lived out of town so we were<br />
responsible for all Macs care for 7<br />
days. The entire case was hugely<br />
rewarding and we all quickly grew<br />
attached. His owner adopted<br />
him 2 years previously from the<br />
Rotorua Rescue centre, so we<br />
knew then Mac was a survivor.<br />
Helen and her surgical team did a<br />
fantastic job and from what I hear<br />
Mac is continuing to heal and get<br />
stronger daily. He should make a<br />
full recovery.<br />
The two surgical cases above<br />
highlight the need in the veterinary world to have<br />
Veterinary specialists available, who are highly<br />
and technically skilled and equipped to handle any<br />
surgical emergency thrown at them. Both these<br />
patients needed their expertise to survive.<br />

The curry should not need any<br />
salt and pepper, or spices as<br />
the curry paste is full of strong<br />

Don’t allow the mixture to<br />

Sorrow and Bliss<br />
by Meg Mason<br />
Spiky, sharp, intriguingly dark and tender, full of pathos, fury<br />
and wit, Sorrow and Bliss by Meg Mason is a dazzling,<br />
distinctive novel from a boldly talented writer. For fans<br />
of Sally Rooney, Taffy Brodesser-Akner and Fleabag. This<br />
novel is about a woman called Martha. She knows there is<br />
something wrong with her but she doesn’t know what it is.<br />
Her husband Patrick thinks she is fine. He says everyone<br />
has something, the thing is just to keep going. Martha told<br />
Patrick before they got married that she didn’t want to have<br />
children. He said he didn’t mind either way because he has<br />
loved her since he was fourteen and making her happy is all<br />
that matters, although he does not seem able to do it. By the time Martha finds<br />
out what is wrong, it doesn’t really matter anymore. It is too late to get the only<br />
thing she has ever wanted. Or maybe it will turn out that you can stop loving<br />
someone and start again from nothing - if you can find something else to want.<br />
The book is set in London and Oxford. It is sad and funny.<br />
The Women’s Pages<br />
by Victoria Purman<br />
Sydney 1945 The war is over, the fight begins.<br />
The war is over and so are the jobs (and freedoms) of tens of thousands of<br />
Australian women. The armaments factories are making washing machines instead<br />
of bullets and war correspondent Tilly Galloway has hung up her uniform and been<br />
forced to work on the women’s pages of her newspaper - the only job available to<br />
her - where she struggles to write advice on fashion and make-up.<br />
As Sydney swells with returning servicemen and the city bustles back to post-war<br />
life, Tilly finds her world is anything but normal. As she desperately waits for word<br />
of her prisoner-of-war husband, she begins to research stories about the lives of<br />
the underpaid and overworked women who live in her own city. Those whose war<br />
service has been overlooked; the freedom and independence of their war lives lost<br />
to them.<br />
Meanwhile Tilly’s waterside worker father is on strike, and her best friend Mary is<br />
struggling to cope with the stranger her own husband has become since being<br />
liberated from Changi a broken man. As strikes rip the country apart and the news<br />
from abroad causes despair, matters build to a heart-rending crescendo. Tilly<br />
realises that for her the war may have ended, but the fight is just beginning...<br />

Three-cylinder BMW heralds resurgence<br />
I CAN’T remember the last time<br />
I had two three-cylinder cars in<br />
my driveway.<br />
It was probably when I was<br />
driving Star Media’s Suzuki Alto<br />
pool car on a daily basis, it was<br />
bound to have coincided with a<br />
three-cylinder evaluation car of<br />
some description.<br />
Well, BMW New Zealand offered<br />
me a short notice drive in<br />
its 118i, it was a case of having<br />
to squeeze it in overlapping with<br />
another car – Mitsubishi’s Mirage.<br />
Of course, both of these<br />
vehicles have three-pot engines<br />
and those drives once again<br />
reinforced my interest and<br />
highlighted the resurgence in this<br />
configuration.<br />
In BMW’s case, it was only<br />
a matter of time before its<br />
application of this type of<br />
engine trickled across more of<br />
the company’s product. The<br />
turbocharged 1.5-litre unit first<br />
made its appearance here in the 2<br />
Series Active Tourer in 2015, and<br />
has been used in its X1 and, of<br />
course, variations of the Mini.<br />
BMW New Zealand has just<br />
introduced a new 1 Series, there<br />
three variations at present, two of<br />
which incorporate the three-pot<br />
unit, the M135i is fitted with a<br />
high performance four-cylinder<br />
engine.<br />
However, the three-cylinder<br />
engine punches well above its<br />
weight and you would expect<br />
nothing less from a performance<br />
car manufacturer. The 1499cc<br />
unit is rated with 103kW and<br />
220Nm, both outputs realised<br />
wonderfully low in the rev band<br />
at 4400rpm and 1250rpm for<br />
torque.<br />
The engine is a real honey in<br />
terms of honesty and performance.<br />
It is also rated with rather<br />
amazing fuel usage figures, such<br />
as a 5.9l/100km combined cycle<br />
average.<br />
My test figures hovered around<br />
7l/100km with 4.4l/100km<br />
available instantaneously on a<br />
100km/h cruise, the engine very<br />
unstressed, ticking over at just<br />
1750rpm at that speed thanks to a<br />
tall top gear.<br />
BMW has done well to disguise<br />
the harmonics which are usually<br />
associated with three-cylinder<br />
engines. I guess that’s no surprise,<br />
the company produces vehicles<br />
of high standard and the engine<br />
feels vibration-free, working<br />
solidly through the rev band<br />
and easily filling the short gaps<br />
between gears.<br />
BMW 118I: Comfortable ride on Christchurch’s uneven<br />
roads.<br />
If you are intent on driving<br />
a car without wanting to know<br />
the mechanics or engineering<br />
aspects, you would think the 118i<br />
had nothing out-of-the-ordinary<br />
under the bonnet.<br />
With those generous power<br />
outputs, it is quite spirited. Sure,<br />
the acceleration times are not<br />
startling, but with an 8.5sec time<br />
to make 100km/h from a standstill<br />
it will keep easy pace with<br />
traffic, while power through the<br />
mid-range means overtaking<br />
manoeuvres can be completed<br />
swiftly and safely. As a guide to<br />
its performance, it is capable of a<br />
218km/h top speed.<br />
The evaluation car was the<br />
entry-level Sport Line Edition at<br />
$49,990 which is a front-wheeldrive<br />
model only, as is its stablemate<br />
the M Sport variant at<br />
$53,900. The M135i gets BMW<br />
four-wheel-drive system – xDrive<br />
– and lists at $83,500.<br />
At just over 4.3m, the 118i<br />
is a compact vehicle, but it is a<br />
genuine five-seater, and those on<br />
board won’t feel too cramped, it<br />
makes good use of available space<br />
and it has a comfortable operating<br />
environment.<br />
The spring and damper rates,<br />
through fully independent<br />
underpinnings, are set as<br />
medium-to-firm. In saying that,<br />
the quality of the suspension<br />
allows for wheel freedom and it<br />
will deal well with the upsetting<br />
nature of Christchurch’s rough<br />
roads, along with providing<br />
secure steering feel.<br />
There are optional drive<br />
modes that the driver can select<br />
depending on journey type.<br />
Sport and economy are pretty<br />
much what they represent, but<br />
I mostly preferred the normal<br />
default setting, and in that mode<br />
• Price – BMW 118i, $49,990<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4319mm; width, 1799mm;<br />
height, 1434mm<br />
• Configuration – Threecylinder,<br />
front-wheeldrive,<br />
1499cc, 103kW,<br />
220Nm, seven-speed<br />
automatic<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 8.5sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 5.9l/100km<br />
the 118i is honest and does<br />
everything you’d expect in terms<br />
of response.<br />
Inside, it shares much of the<br />
componentry you would find in<br />
other BMWs, even though the<br />
entry-level model doesn’t carry<br />
all of the trick gear BMW have on<br />
offer, you can up-spec from a long<br />
list of BMW options depending<br />
on how much you want to spend,<br />
but if you aren’t tempted into<br />
those then the standard car will<br />
still satisfy as a daily drive.<br />
I particularly like the combination<br />
cloth/leather trim, the seat<br />
squabs are cloth trimmed yet they<br />
also have heaters, it’s the best of<br />
both worlds, sitting in them on<br />
those frosty Canterbury mornings<br />
isn’t onerous.<br />
I’ve always been quite fond<br />
of the 1 Series, it is a good<br />
combination of size and<br />
practicality. I’ve also always<br />
been charmed by three-cylinder<br />
engines and BMW’s unit certainly<br />
delivers with much satisfaction.<br />

Inner Lands<br />
Standing at the edge of the Inner land<br />
Looking within and out again.<br />
All is clouded and clear with<br />
Insight, foresight, hindsight,<br />
and still much unknown.<br />
There was a time when,<br />
the land was stilled and hushed.<br />
As if resting, from the itchy human<br />
activity, the earth sighed with relief.<br />
The wind played its song<br />
over the ridge lines and<br />
the voices of birds rang out clear<br />
into a cleaner, quieter air.<br />
The streams chattered down into<br />
gullies of bush and ferns, and the<br />
passing of days were, at last,<br />
observed by many, from inside<br />
their bubbles.<br />
A time of meditative connection<br />
to leave distractions of everyday life<br />
and find the meaning in being.<br />
Now take me to those Inner Lands,<br />
on the journeys of the mind,<br />
where coastal forests give way<br />
to the place of dreams, and<br />
the mind can settle and rest,<br />
and sustain the momentary<br />
beauty of existence.<br />

Reconnect<br />
in style<br />
with<br />
neighbours<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
WE MAY soon be reconnecting<br />
with our neighbours in style.<br />
Summer with your Neighbours<br />
is due to start next<br />
month.<br />
A strong focus this year was<br />
for neighbours to re-establish<br />
connections with each other<br />
following the Covid-19 lockdown.<br />
People were able to apply for<br />
funding from the city council,<br />
to organise events such as street<br />
parties, neighbourhood cleanups,<br />
fundraisers or sports days.<br />
Council head of community<br />
support, governance and<br />
partnerships, John Filsell,<br />
said getting to know<br />
your neighbours creates a<br />
greater sense of community<br />
connectedness and safety.<br />
Following the 2010 and 2011<br />
earthquakes, he said there was<br />
a huge swell of community<br />
connections with neighbours<br />
developing strong relationships<br />
and supporting each other.<br />
The same could be said for<br />
the current pandemic.<br />
“Due to the Covid-19<br />
lockdown, people were out<br />
in their neighbourhoods<br />
again and connecting from<br />
a distance; checking on<br />
vulnerable people and making<br />
sure they had access to food,”<br />
said Filsell.<br />
Summer with your Neighbours<br />
starts October <strong>23</strong> and<br />
will run until March.<br />
Group tackling social isolation<br />
THE COVID-19 pandemic,<br />
social dislocation and even<br />
geography conspire to further<br />
isolate already vulnerable<br />
seniors from their communities,<br />
a community development<br />
advocate says.<br />
Social isolation is an emerging<br />
issue brought to the fore by the<br />
response to Covid-19, Sumner<br />
<strong>Bay</strong>s Union Trust community<br />
development team leader Eddie<br />
Hayes said.<br />
The lockdown and the subsequent<br />
movement through the<br />
alert levels has exacerbated anxiety,<br />
reduced the push to go out,<br />
and has affected many socialising<br />
options, he said.<br />
Social distancing rules meant<br />
groups had to downscale or even<br />
temporarily stop the regular<br />
events that provided interaction<br />
and companionship, he said.<br />
“The lockdown highlighted<br />
many of the issues already<br />
experienced by some of the most<br />
vulnerable in our community,<br />
and they are issues that persist<br />
even out of lockdown.<br />
“Older and vulnerable people<br />
were encouraged to get others<br />
to get their groceries, but there<br />
were isolated people who simply<br />
did not have someone else to get<br />
their groceries.<br />
“People were encouraged to<br />
use the internet for their shopping,<br />
but there were people who<br />
were isolated and just not loaded<br />
into the internet.<br />
“This was a situation that was<br />
accentuated where vulnerable<br />
people were not involved in<br />
activities, not part of groups, and<br />
did not have the connections to<br />
get support.”<br />
However, plenty of that potentially<br />
life-affirming need was met<br />

Source: The <strong>Bay</strong> Area Seniors Project<br />
Group<br />
Community and school<br />
groups, neighbourhood associations<br />
and neighbours, and social<br />
services all pitched in, just as<br />
they did in the wake of the Canterbury<br />
earthquakes.<br />
“Our community is used to<br />
responding. We have a wonderfully<br />
supportive community. The<br />
problems arise when we go back<br />
to how things were before.”<br />
There remained many potential<br />
obstacles for improving<br />
social connections and beating<br />
social isolation in the bay area,<br />
Hayes explained.<br />
The popular retirement base<br />
had an ageing population – the<br />
resident population over the age<br />
of 65 is between 15 per cent and<br />
20 per cent – and its hills and<br />
steep streets limit mobility.<br />
Many older people cannot rely<br />
upon the immediate support of<br />
family members, who may be<br />
elsewhere in the city or out of<br />
town entirely.<br />
Neighbours often kept an eye<br />
out for each other, but the pressures<br />
of modern life – multi-job<br />
families, long working hours<br />
and frequent household moves –<br />
made things difficult.<br />
It was in this context that<br />
identifying people who needed<br />
help, and providing ways to<br />
connect people with each other<br />
and the wider community, was<br />
important, Hayes said.<br />
The Sumner <strong>Bay</strong>s Union Trust<br />
is part of the <strong>Bay</strong> Area Seniors<br />
Project Group which is tackling<br />
social isolation in the Sumner,<br />
Mt Pleasant, Heathcote Valley,<br />
Lyttelton and Woolston area.<br />
The group is sharing information<br />
about social isolation and<br />
the need for connections, and<br />
is actively linking seniors with<br />
groups, services and activities in<br />
its communities.

News<br />
Harnessing creativity<br />
from recycled ‘junk’<br />
Myriad groups<br />
help keep our<br />
community moving.<br />
Reporter Bea<br />
Gooding speaks<br />
to Creative Junk<br />
co-ordinator<br />
Christine Jackson<br />
about the<br />
importance of<br />
sustainable creativity<br />
What does Creative<br />
Junk do, and how did<br />
it come to be what it is<br />
today?<br />
Originally set up in<br />
1981, we service a demand<br />
for affordable materials<br />
that are used to promote<br />
creative, imaginative<br />
play and events in the<br />
community — for<br />
children, their families,<br />
artists, designers, crafters,<br />
cosplayers, wearable art,<br />
early childhood services,<br />
schools and a variety of<br />
other organisations.<br />
Our motto — Recycle,<br />
Reuse, Rethink — reflects<br />
the organisation’s ideals<br />
and its ethical and<br />
environmental stance.<br />
We are now looking to<br />
expand our outreach to<br />
more actively embrace the<br />
environmental side of our<br />
values<br />
What are the issues that<br />
your charity is currently<br />
facing, and what is being<br />
done to overcome them?<br />
Our biggest issue at<br />
present is funding, it’s been<br />
affected nationwide for<br />
everyone by the Covid-19<br />
crisis, so we here at<br />
Creative Junk are trying<br />
to become more selfsupporting.<br />
We have our “spare parts<br />
boxes” which raises money<br />
for us, with schools or<br />
anyone wanting creative<br />
goods all over the country,<br />
these boxes are posted to<br />
them. We have also held<br />
open days, sip ’n’ craft<br />
nights and car boot sales.<br />
A local Lego group has<br />
also stepped forward and<br />
provided displays in our<br />
upstairs space and charged<br />
a gold coin donation to<br />
view as a fundraising<br />
event for us, as some of<br />
the builders use materials<br />
from our warehouse to<br />
create landscapes for their<br />
displays.<br />
Another issue would be,<br />
not enough people know<br />
about us. Ideally, we would<br />
like to employ another<br />
person to assist with the<br />
co-ordinator in being able<br />
to get out to schools and<br />
other groups to learn about<br />
Creative Junk. Also to go<br />
out to businesses educate<br />
them, what we can use<br />
instead of things going to<br />
landfill.<br />
Why is an organisation<br />
like this important<br />
for Christchurch in<br />
terms of sustainability<br />
and providing creative<br />
resources?<br />
We help businesses<br />
and local people reduce<br />
the amount of products<br />
going into landfill, which<br />
is currently a big problem<br />
in Christchurch. We are<br />
constantly connecting<br />
with new companies who<br />
have what they thought<br />
was “rubbish” but we see<br />
as products to turn into<br />
useful creative items. Our<br />
workshops also help to<br />
educate children that they<br />
can look around their own<br />
homes and find things<br />
to be creative with that<br />
mum or dad was going to<br />
throw away, and that’s the<br />
most important step in<br />
sustainability - education.<br />
Creative Junk is unique<br />
and is important to all of<br />
New Zealand.<br />
What impact has<br />
Creative Junk had on<br />
groups who benefit from<br />
the service?<br />
We work with Ara, The<br />
Repair Shed, The children’s<br />
university, UCA, Learning<br />
Exchange Timebank,<br />
Otautahi Christchurch<br />
Creative Spaces, Skillwise<br />
retraining, Waitaha School<br />
and Volunteer Canterbury<br />
to name but a few over our<br />
39 years of being in the<br />
community.<br />
We have been able<br />
to provide classes with<br />
REPURPOSE: Creative<br />
Junk manager<br />
Christine Jackson<br />
and volunteer Alexia<br />
Martin, with creations<br />
made from recycled<br />
materials destined for<br />
landfill.<br />
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN <br />
materials for projects<br />
ranging from classroom<br />
activities right up to<br />
materials for school<br />
performance costumes.<br />
We have found<br />
during hard times, like<br />
earthquakes, people with<br />
anxieties or wellbeing<br />
and at the moment with<br />
Covid-19, people go to<br />
a happy place of craft,<br />
drawing, knitting or just<br />
making whatever for a feelgood<br />
feeling within.<br />
With families being at<br />
home together because of<br />
Covid-19 they are doing,<br />
crafting, making things<br />
together and thinking<br />
outside the box, this is<br />
what Creative Junk is<br />
about.<br />
In what ways can<br />
people implement<br />
environmentally<br />
sustainable practices<br />
while promoting<br />
creativity?<br />
The best way is to think<br />
of a way to repurpose an<br />
item before they consider<br />
disposing of it. For<br />
instance, an old golf club<br />
can be repurposed into<br />
a colourful bird garden<br />
decoration or theheads of<br />
a golf club can be fixed to<br />
a board and turned into<br />
a coat rack. An old lawn<br />
bowl or bowling ball can<br />
be turned into a bright<br />
animal-themed doorstop.<br />
The best thing people can<br />
do is to stop and think<br />
before they put anything in<br />
the bin.<br />

Thoughtfully designed to respond to the magnificent Sumner seascape, this<br />
tastefully refurbished apartment offers an immensely low-maintenance<br />
lifestyle in one of the city’s finest beachside settings. Enjoying easy-care<br />
construction and benefiting from a clever design, this north-facing property<br />
showcases style and comfort with upgrades in both the kitchen and<br />
bathrooms. The open plan living and dining area forms the social centre of<br />
the home and flows directly off the kitchen for easy entertaining. Embracing<br />
the outdoors is effortless with the superbly positioned hardwood deck<br />
basking in afternoon sunshine while the designer courtyard provides a<br />
brilliant backdrop for afternoon drinks or evening meals during summertime.<br />
Magnificent sea views will have you staying in, especially from the top level<br />
lounge/bedroom with its amazing round window giving you an eye over the<br />
admirable vista. The other two bedrooms positioned on the middle level are<br />
supported by a well-sized bathroom, and the presence of a single garage<br />
completes the package.<br />
Situated upon a private rear section that’s mere footsteps from the sea<br />
and a short stroll from the myriad of amenities in Sumner village, this<br />
three-bedroom apartment represents the ultimate lock-and-leave,<br />
first home or downsizer in a supremely sought-after location.<br />

Pascoe Beach House: An Architectural Icon<br />
58 Colenso Street, Sumner 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 Car<br />
Eye-catching aesthetics and a rich history are compelling qualities of this<br />
admired mid-century beach house, originally designed and owned by<br />
renowned local architect, Paul Pascoe.<br />
Constructed in 1948, this exceedingly unique home was recognised as one of<br />
the 50 best homes of the 20th century by Home and Entertaining Magazine’<br />
as the first great New Zealand Beach House. It was also listed with the<br />
Historic Places Trust as a building of architectural merit.<br />
A considered upgrade over the years occurred under the watchful eye of<br />
Pascoe’s son, Simon, with the property now enjoying a kitchen and two<br />
bathrooms by acclaimed designer, Ingrid Geldof. The interior effortlessly<br />
pairs contemporary enhancements with classic, coastal style, and includes<br />
modernist fixtures and timber floors that impart a welcoming and timeless<br />
ambience.<br />
Showcasing a remarkable use of space across two levels, the distinctive<br />
layout hosts the living zones and breath-taking balcony on the first floor,<br />
perfectly placed to capture glimpses of the ocean. The property’s versatile<br />
configuration comprises three bedrooms and a study which is a natural fit for<br />
busy lifestyles.<br />
Considerable comfort is offered indoors by heat pumps, a gas fire and central<br />
heating, with the presence of two bathrooms providing convenience.<br />
Outside, the established garden and private patio provide a peaceful<br />
backdrop for entertaining, with a sizeable double studio delivering extensive<br />
storage and utility space options.<br />
This exceptional home is beyond compare and will attract high levels of<br />
interest from those who adore the property’s remarkable origins through<br />
to others who appreciate the mid-century architecture or supreme setting<br />
within Sumner’s golden triangle.<br />
