Jill and James prepare for<br />

seventh wedding anniversary<br />

Seven years after<br />

walking down the<br />

aisle with a Lyttleton<br />

community of about<br />

100 in attendance, Jill<br />

and James Dobinson,<br />

a Down’s syndrome<br />

couple, will celebrate<br />

their anniversary next<br />

month. Avneesh<br />

Vincent reports<br />

“I FELT HAPPY and excited. You<br />

can see that in this picture,” said<br />

James as he held a framed photo of<br />

him and his wife Jill in their wedding<br />

attire.<br />

They were, in fact, the first<br />

couple to be wed in Christchurch’s<br />

Transitional Cathedral.<br />

“I remember, both of them<br />

wanted to get married for so long, I<br />

was just happy to see their dreams<br />

come true,” said Jill’s sister-in-law,<br />

Anne-Marie Robinson.<br />

She said, for the wedding, the<br />

couple had collected “time credits”<br />

from the Lyttelton time bank by<br />

delivering community newspapers<br />

and gardening.<br />

The bank then used those credits<br />

in exchange to acquire professional<br />

services from the community for<br />

setting up their wedding.<br />

“It was such a fun day.”<br />

PUBLIC FEEDBACK is being<br />

sought for the development of<br />

the highly-anticipated <strong>Bay</strong>s Skate<br />

Park in Sumner.<br />

People will have until November<br />

9 to have their say on the city<br />

council’s draft designs for the<br />

planned skate and scooter park<br />

at 26 Nayland St.<br />

The city council has said the<br />

features included in the design<br />

will meet the needs of beginner<br />

to intermediate skateboarders<br />

and scooter riders.<br />

“Signage will be included on<br />

completion of the park with<br />

some helpful guidelines on how<br />

to use the park. This will be similar<br />

signage to what is currently<br />

installed at our skate parks in<br />

Halswell and in Lyttelton,” the<br />

city council said.<br />

Feedback is also being sought<br />

for the proposed landscape plan<br />

for the Sumner Village Green.<br />

Submissions for this project also<br />

close on November 9.<br />

The village green will sit beside<br />

the skate park at 24 Nayland St.<br />

The draft landscape plan for the<br />

green proposes a barbecue unit<br />

being installed, with various<br />

seating amongst a vast green<br />

area.<br />

Once public consultation for<br />

the two projects has closed, the<br />

city council will analyse the feedback<br />

and produce a report which<br />

will be given to the Linwood-<br />

Central-Heathcote Community<br />

Board for approval.<br />

“At this stage, we are expecting<br />

that the decision by the board<br />

will be made sometime in March<br />

2021,” the city council said.<br />

PROGRESS:<br />

The draft<br />

design of<br />

the <strong>Bay</strong>s<br />

Skate Park<br />

has been<br />

developed<br />

by Rich<br />

Landscapes.<br />

Call for feedback on projects<br />

If approved by the board,<br />

construction of the skate park is<br />

expected to start in September<br />

2021.<br />

Construction of the village<br />

green is currently unfunded and<br />

well not be scheduled until there<br />

are sufficient funds available.<br />

• Submissions on the<br />

proposals for the two<br />

projects can be made at<br />

Collett’s Corner<br />

nears final<br />

design phase<br />

LYTTELTON development<br />

Collett’s Corner is set to move<br />

into its final design phase.<br />

THe crowdfunding campaign<br />

closes tomorrow but by Monday<br />

it had reached just over $900,000,<br />

exceeding its goal of $800,000.<br />

The public can buy shares in the<br />

project at $120 per share with the<br />

aim of raising up to $1.4m.<br />

Founding partner Camia Young<br />

said with the minimum funding<br />

being secured the project would<br />

head to the final design phase,<br />

which will start on Monday and<br />

would last about a year.<br />

Those behind the development<br />

are forecasting an average return<br />

of about 11 per cent over a 10-year<br />

period for those who invest at this<br />

stage.<br />

The three-storey communityowned<br />

$14 million project by Ohu<br />

Developments is planned for a<br />

974 sq m site on the corner of<br />

London and Oxford Sts.<br />

It will feature a wellness centre,<br />

hospitality outlets with shops on<br />

the ground floor, and 20 privatelyowned<br />

apartments above.<br />

The project gained resource<br />

consent in March, with a goal<br />

to open by June 2023 – about<br />

six months later than what was<br />

forecast before the Covid-19<br />

pandemic struck.<br />

Couple first met on a bus<br />

• From page 1<br />

Jill said she remembers a funny<br />

thing about her pink cardigan<br />

she wore that day.<br />

“It was a bit difficult getting<br />

into the dress, maybe because<br />

I ate too much,” said Jill as she<br />

blushed.<br />

However, the couple’s story,<br />

started 15 years ago when they<br />

first met on a bus. They didn’t<br />

communicate much but just<br />

looked at each other.<br />

“We automatically married, at<br />

first sight, that’s what happened<br />

basically,” said James.<br />

A few years later, both of them<br />

moved in together along with a<br />

flatmate and started living independently,<br />

until they got engaged<br />

and later married.<br />

“We gradually fell in love,<br />

which was quite nice.”<br />

Before the couple met, Jill<br />

used to live with her late mother<br />

Margaret Jefferies who was<br />

well-known in the Lyttelton community<br />

for her internationallyrecognised<br />

initiatives.<br />

Margaret took Jill into her care<br />

after her parents divorced and<br />

taught her skills for independent<br />

living.<br />

“I can cook and can bake. I can<br />

swim and do the breaststroke<br />

and do the butterfly, and dance.”<br />

James said that Jill had won<br />

TALENT: James and Jill Dobinson busking near the<br />

farmers’ market in Lyttelton.<br />

several medals at regional swimming<br />

competitions.<br />

On the other hand, James lived<br />

in the “independence house” in<br />

Christchurch which helped him<br />

learn how to flat, catch a bus,<br />

cook, and so forth. He lived with<br />

one of his two brothers after their<br />

parents passed away.<br />

“I remember, my mum taught<br />

me piano lessons.”<br />

He said he started playing the<br />

piano when he was 15 and then<br />

gradually started busking as a<br />

hobby.<br />

Jill and James can be seen<br />

busking in the streets of<br />

Lyttelton, near the farmers’<br />

market.<br />

While James plays a 60-key<br />

Casio synthesiser, playing The<br />

Beatles music, Jill can be seen<br />

energetically dancing in a multicoloured<br />

outfit.<br />

The couple have plans for a special<br />

dinner on the Saturday night<br />

of their anniversary.<br />

And that means they won’t<br />

miss their weeknight viewing slot<br />

of Shortland Street.<br />

Pontoon idea to<br />

improve wharf access<br />

A FLOATING pontoon may be<br />

added to the Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />

wharf to improve access to<br />

passenger ferries and other boats<br />

that call into the harbour.<br />

Accessibility issues with the existing<br />

wharf meant it can often be<br />

difficult for passengers embarking<br />

or disembarking from vessels.<br />

“The steps are often underwater<br />

or slippery. It is difficult to manoeuvre<br />

bikes or pushchairs and<br />

it is simply not suitable for wheelchairs,”<br />

said city council regional<br />

parks manager Kay Holder.<br />

“To make access easier and<br />

safer for everyone, we are proposing<br />

to add a floating pontoon to<br />

the south side of wharf, where<br />

there is the most protection from<br />

the wind and the tides.”<br />

The decommissioned crane that<br />

currently sits on the wharf will<br />

need to be relocated in order to accommodate<br />

the new pontoon.<br />

“As well as adding a floating<br />

pontoon, we’re proposing to<br />

upgrade the existing decking,<br />

handrails and seating on the<br />

main wharf and to improve the<br />

bike shed storage,” said Holder.<br />

“We’re also looking at how we<br />

can provide some shade on the<br />

wharf and improve the lighting.”<br />

If the city council decides<br />

to proceed with its plans for<br />

SAFETY: The city council<br />

has proposed to install<br />

a pontoon at Diamond<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> Wharf to improve<br />

access to boats and other<br />

vessels at the harbour.<br />

PHOTO: NEWSLINE ​<br />

upgrading the wharf, it will need<br />

to apply to Environment Canterbury<br />

for resource consent.<br />

“Before we move to the next<br />

phase of the project, we want to<br />

get the public’s feedback on our<br />

plans. People can share their<br />

views via Have Your Say until<br />

November 11,” she said.<br />

“Council staff will also be<br />

running a drop-in session at<br />

the Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> wharf<br />

on November 7 between 8.30<br />

and 10.30am where people can<br />

find out more about what is<br />

proposed.”<br />

Reports of big cat in Heathcote Valley<br />

• By Matt Slaughter<br />

A MYSTERIOUS big black<br />

cat reportedly spotted at the<br />

Halswell Quarry last month may<br />

now be on the prowl in Heathcote<br />

Valley.<br />

There have been reports<br />

a big cat has been in several<br />

Canterbury locations including<br />

the Halswell Quarry.<br />

A Christchurch man even<br />

called talk back radio, claiming<br />

he had also seen the cat at the<br />

quarry. Halswell-Hornby-<br />

Riccarton Community Board<br />

member Mike Mora heard the<br />

call and discussed the sighting at<br />

a board meeting.<br />

Now Tom Lewis, his uncle<br />

Andrew Lewis and Tom’s son,<br />

Theo, are the latest to claim they<br />

saw the creature.<br />

Tom said it was spotted among<br />

the trees and long grass at the<br />

back of their house on Horotane<br />

Valley Rd.<br />

Said Tom: “My son Theo first<br />

saw it [on <strong>October</strong> 15]. [He said]<br />

‘dad look at that huge black cat<br />

in the back paddock’.<br />

“I thought: ‘Oh yeah’. Five<br />

minutes later [Theo said] ‘dad<br />

that cat’s massive’.<br />

“Then I took a look from 85m<br />

away and it was huge.<br />

“[I] first saw it sitting up.<br />

Looked maybe 800mm tall. Then<br />

MYSTERIOUS: This big, black cat-like creature was snapped just metres from a property<br />

on Horotane Valley Rd, Heathcote Valley.<br />

PHOTO: TOM LEWIS<br />

it moved to behind the<br />

tree where it sat down,” Tom<br />

said.<br />

He took photos of the animal<br />

through binoculars.<br />

He told Andrew and his other<br />

family members at home to take<br />

a look.<br />

“All of us [were] blown away<br />

with the size,” he said.<br />

At dusk, Tom took his deer<br />

tracking dog Moose out to find<br />

the big cat.<br />

They were successful and he<br />

says they got within 10m of the<br />

cat before it ran off.<br />

“It was larger than Moose who<br />

is a hungarian vizsla,” said Tom.<br />

There has been a re-emergence<br />

of reported sightings of big black<br />

cats in recent months. Over the<br />

years, the mysterious animal<br />

has also been spotted in Otago,<br />

Southland and Marlborough.<br />

Hospitality<br />

beckons<br />

over-50s<br />

THE NUMBER of Christchurch<br />

baby boomers signing up to<br />

work in the hospitality industry<br />

has skyrocketed over the last six<br />

months.<br />

Data from Barcats, a hospitality<br />

platform which connects<br />

venues to job seekers, shows<br />

Christchurch has experienced<br />

the highest increase in over-50s<br />

signing up to work in pubs,<br />

clubs, restaurants and cafes.<br />

Christchurch has experienced<br />

an 875 per cent increase, followed<br />

by Auckland with a 325<br />

per cent increase.<br />

There has been a 550 per cent<br />

national increase in over-50s<br />

signing up for work in the hospitality<br />

industry.<br />

Barcats founder and chief<br />

executive Jeffrey Williams said<br />

he thinks the increase is a result<br />

of Covid-19.<br />

“I think most people thought<br />

that hospitality is just for young<br />

people or travellers.<br />

“One of the things we’ve seen<br />

as we’ve reopened hospitality in<br />

Christchurch after the lockdown,<br />

is that actually when they want<br />

to start re-employing, the people<br />

they had just weren’t there<br />

anymore.”<br />

Garden plant hits peninsula natives<br />

A COMMON garden plant<br />

has hopped the fence and is<br />

wreaking havoc on Lyttelton<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong>’s native vegetation.<br />

Spur valerian, a cottage garden<br />

plant with pink, magenta<br />

or white flowers, is spreading<br />

across rocky outcrops and coastal<br />

cliffs around Banks Peninsula<br />

and Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />

“Don’t let that<br />

pretty splash of<br />

pink fool you<br />

– spur valerian<br />

has no place<br />

in our natural<br />

environment,”<br />

Di Carter<br />

said city council<br />

park ranger Di<br />

Carter.<br />

“Spur valerian, originally<br />

from the Mediterranean, is an<br />

aggressive species and a serious<br />

threat to the rare native plants<br />

that call Whakaraupō home.”<br />

The rocky volcanic bluffs and<br />

coastal cliffs of Whakaraupō<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> and Banks Peninsula<br />

are home to many rare and fragile<br />

native species found nowhere<br />

else in the world. Many of these<br />

plants are threatened with extinction<br />

from weed invasion.<br />

Spur valerian seeds have<br />

blown from gardens around<br />

Whakaraupō <strong>Harbour</strong>. Once<br />

in the rocks it grows into<br />

thickets and outcompetes small<br />

plants, including one of the<br />

THREAT: Don’t let the pretty colour fool you – spur valerian is wreaking havoc in<br />

Lyttelton.<br />

most threatened species in New<br />

Zealand, the Banks Peninsula<br />

forget-me-not, which is found<br />

naturally around Mt Evans, and<br />

the Banks Peninsula sun hebe.<br />

Both are endemic to Banks Peninsula<br />

and found nowhere else<br />

in the world.<br />

City council and Environment<br />

Canterbury have provided<br />

resources to help control spur<br />

valerian on private land. Park<br />

rangers are working closely with<br />

landowners to prevent spread<br />

beyond Whakaraupō and to<br />

protect the special plants within<br />

the Whakaraupō basin.<br />

The control work covers 18<br />

sites and will run twice a year in<br />

spring and autumn, for the next<br />

six years.<br />

“Flowering occurs in two<br />

main bursts, so control is done<br />

in spring and autumn before<br />

any flowering plants set seed,”<br />

Carter said.<br />

“We need to carry out ongoing<br />

survey and control to make<br />

sure no new plants are spreading<br />

beyond the containment zone.”<br />

People who wish to keep the<br />

plants in their gardens can help<br />

reduce the seed volume by removing<br />

flowers prior to seeding,<br />

or remove and replace with less<br />

spreading garden plants, such as<br />

lavender for the “cottage” look<br />

or a local native plant like the<br />

New Zealand linen flax (Linum<br />

monogynum).<br />

These projects, combined with<br />

roadside control to prevent the<br />

spread along road corridors<br />

beyond Corsair <strong>Bay</strong>, Governors<br />

<strong>Bay</strong>, Church <strong>Bay</strong> and Diamond<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong>, and with help from<br />

gardeners in the townships of<br />

Whakaraupō, will help protect<br />

the special rock outcrop and<br />

coastal cliff vegetation across the<br />

wider Peninsula.<br />

Every Day is Open Day<br />

Once again, the New Zealand educational curriculum is<br />

in the firing line – and it is perhaps hard to argue that it<br />

shouldn’t be.* On the all-important international stage, the<br />

latest data from PISA, the Programme for International<br />

Student Assessment, indicates our Kiwi kids are on the<br />

slide. The downward trend in results over the last decade<br />

shows a lost equivalent of three to six terms of schooling in<br />

the key subjects of Reading, Maths and Science.<br />

This is despite a 32% increase in per-child spending since<br />

2001 and, in Christchurch at least, the construction of<br />

purpose-built modern learning environments deliberately<br />

designed to foster the national curriculum’s child-centred<br />

orthodoxy.<br />

Of course, every child should be at the heart of their own<br />

learning. How could they now be! But let’s not throw the<br />

baby out with the bathwater. A child’s education should be<br />

a balance of subject knowledge; essential skills; teaching<br />

programmes developed to suit their demonstrated<br />

knowledge, understanding and progress; and assessment<br />

that offers you, your child and their teachers, honesty and<br />

evidence of this progress.<br />

All parents, teachers and coaches know that children learn<br />

best when they are interested in what they are learning.<br />

Making subject knowledge and skills<br />

interesting is the ongoing and exciting<br />

challenge for all of us who educate and<br />

motivate our children.<br />

Located in the heart of our city, St<br />

Michael’s has been educating and<br />

nurturing the children of Christchurch<br />

for 169 years. For our young pupils<br />

have limitless potential to lead exciting<br />

and generous lives, and we have the<br />

responsibility to educate and inspire<br />

them, to encourage every child to flourish<br />

in mind, body and spirit.<br />

St Michael’s is a prep school for girls and<br />

boys in Years 1-8. ‘Prep’ as in preparation<br />

for secondary school, a foundation for a<br />

fine life. For at the heart of St Michael’s<br />

are the essential values of Christian faith<br />

and good citizenship: respect, integrity, community, faith,<br />

hope and love.<br />

An independent school education at the primary level is<br />

a great gift. Our classes are small, with year-groups of 20<br />

pupils, ensuring your child is an individual, well known by<br />

staff and fellow pupils alike.<br />

Traditional foundations in English and Maths are<br />

assured. This academic rigour then underpins our wider<br />

curriculums in History, Geography, Science and Spanish.<br />

IT literacy is taught, not assumed, and computer use is<br />

measured. We like teaching and talking to our pupils!<br />

A prep education offers balance. St Michael’s cultural<br />

and sports’ programmes further develop your child’s<br />

foundation, as creativity and problem-solving come in<br />

many forms. Specialist art and music classes are enjoyed<br />

weekly. We have three choirs, and most pupils participate<br />

in instrumental or speech & drama lessons with our ten<br />

itinerant staff.<br />

Nestled on the banks of the Avon, opposite the Riverside<br />

Farmers’ Market, our extended campus is spectacular: the<br />

Art Gallery, Museum, Tūranga – the<br />

central library, and Hagley Park are<br />

just minutes away.<br />

Many of our parents now work in<br />

the thriving city centre or Lincoln<br />

and Riccarton Road hubs, but they<br />

live city-wide. They comment on the<br />

comfort of knowing their children are<br />

in school nearby and the benefits of<br />

popping over for an hour to catch a<br />

performance or watch a race. With the<br />

central exchange only a block away,<br />

senior children arrive by bus from all<br />

corners of the city.<br />

You and your child are warmly<br />

welcome to discover our purposeful,<br />

wholehearted and inclusive prep<br />

school. Our next Open Day is<br />

coming up, on Tuesday 3 November. Pop in during<br />

the day between 8.30am – 4.00pm for a tour, and to<br />

Homesteads<br />

The Story of New Zealand’s Grand Country Houses<br />

by debra Millar<br />

A stunning tribute to the grand homes built by New Zealand’s pioneering pastoralists,<br />

Homesteads shares a remarkable legacy of this country’s rural heritage. These houses<br />

are among some of the country’s most iconic, many of them surrounded by equally<br />

notable gardens, and all still lived in today. Jane Ussher’s evocative photographs<br />

capture the unique character and architectural diversity of each homestead, while Debra<br />

Millar explores the stories that have shaped these landmark rural properties through<br />

generations. Featured homesteads include Mount Peel Station, Longbeach Estate, Terrace<br />

Station, Surrey Hills and Blue Cliffs Station in Canterbury; Gwavas Garden and Oruawharo<br />

in Hawke’s <strong>Bay</strong>; Merchiston Station and Pukemarama Station in Manawatu; Puketiti<br />

Station on the North Island’s remote East Coast; and Kuriheka Estate in Otago. This is a<br />

book that showcases an extraordinary range of architecture, interiors and gardens, and<br />

brings the past into the present day.<br />

Wild at Heart<br />

The Dangers and Delights of a Nomadic Life<br />

by Miriam lancewood<br />

Gripping sequel to the international bestseller Woman in the Wilderness, Miriam<br />

Lancewood’s story of the quest for a simple life, unfettered by society’s norms.<br />

Miriam Lancewood’s first book Woman in the Wilderness told her story of living for seven<br />

years in the wilderness of New Zealand with her husband, hunting and gathering, and<br />

roaming the mountains like nomads.<br />

Miriam and Peter left New Zealand to explore other wild places. They walked 2000 km<br />

through the forests of Europe and along the coast of Turkey, mostly camping under trees<br />

and cooking by fire.<br />

They lived on the edge, embracing insecurity, and found the unexpected: sometimes it<br />

was pure bliss, sometimes it was terrifying.<br />

But when they moved on to the Australian desert, they met with disaster.<br />

The Second Life of Tiger Woods<br />

by Michael Bamberger<br />

From Michael Bamberger, author most recently of the New York Times bestseller Men in Green, the<br />

intimate and extraordinary Tiger Woods comeback story, in which the iconic golfer—his game,<br />

body, and life in shambles—makes not only a triumphant return to the winner’s circle (his 2019<br />

Masters title), but discovers along the way more widespread love and admiration than he had ever<br />

known before.<br />

Only Two For Everest<br />

How a First Ascent by Riddiford and Cotter Shaped Climbing History<br />

by lynley McKinnon<br />

The First New Zealand Himalayan Expedition, in 1951, was initiated by Earle Riddiford,<br />

who with Ed Cotter and Pasang Dawa Lama made the first ascent of Mukut Parbat, their<br />

target peak in the Garhwal Himalaya. Accompanying them on that expedition, though not<br />

to that summit, were two other New Zealand climbers, Edmund Hillary and George Lowe.<br />

Hearing of the success on Mukut Parbat, the New Zealand Alpine Club suggested to the<br />

Alpine Club in London that acclimatized New Zealanders would be a valuable asset on<br />

the forthcoming 1951 British Reconnaissance of Mt Everest, to be led by Eric Shipton.<br />

This resulted in an invitation for two New Zealanders to join the party: thrilling news the<br />

four climbers received while they were ensconced in the hill-country village of Ranikhet. A<br />

day and a half of bitter dispute rent the party asunder. Which two should go to Everest? In<br />

this enthralling narrative, journalist Lyn McKinnon tells the stories of Earle Riddiford and<br />

Ed Cotter, two extraordinary New Zealanders whose climbing achievements were forever<br />

eclipsed by the exploits of others.<br />

Wild Horses of the World<br />

by Kelly Wilson<br />

An honest study of the diverse beauty of the world’s wild horses and the harsh, yet<br />

picturesque landscapes they call home.<br />

Wild horses have been an important part of wildlife on Earth for centuries, yet many herds<br />

now face serious threats — and very few people can claim to have seen them galloping free<br />

across the plains, or scaling mountain passes.<br />

Kelly Wilson has. For this book, she spent years researching the world’s wildest herds,<br />

travelling the globe and living among them. From the remote forests of Canada and<br />

snowcapped mountains of America, to the unforgiving deserts of Australia and windswept<br />

beaches of New Zealand, Kelly has captured a raw and honest portrayal of these animals<br />

— their rugged beauty, their unique way of life, and the harsh, yet picturesque landscapes<br />

they call home.<br />

Live the adventure alongside her, as Kelly looks into the secret lives of wild horses, how<br />

their populations are managed, and the many hardships they must overcome in their fight<br />

for survival.<br />

Tasty Bites<br />

Make some marvellous muffins<br />

A QUICK AND tasty snack,<br />

muffins are popular with just<br />

about everyone and these sweet,<br />

moist date and bran muffins have<br />

the advantage of being high in<br />

fibre as well as delicious.<br />

The date mixture has to be cool<br />

before you add it so make it in<br />

advance. You can speed up the<br />

cooling time by placing the pot of<br />

hot dates in a sink of cold water.<br />

And, of course we all know<br />

that, when it comes to muffins,<br />

the less mixing of the batter that<br />

you can get away with, the better.<br />

Bran and Date Muffins<br />

Ingredients<br />

1 cup dates<br />

¾ cup boiling water<br />

½ cup brown sugar<br />

1¼ cup plain flour<br />

1 cup bran flakes<br />

½ cup brown sugar<br />

½ tsp salt<br />

2 tsp baking powder<br />

1 egg<br />

1/3 cup melted butter<br />

1 cup milk<br />

Directions<br />

Begin by making the date mixture.<br />

Rinse the dates well to get<br />

rid of any dust or dirt and chop<br />

finely. Place them, along with the<br />

Josh Bashford<br />

& Fatu Feu’u<br />

Line a 12-hole muffin pan with<br />

paper cases and preheat your<br />

oven to 190 deg C.<br />

Place the flour, baking powder<br />

and salt into a large bowl.<br />

Add the grated cheese and mix<br />

through so that it is well dispersed.<br />

Melt the butter and mix it with<br />

the lightly beaten eggs and milk.<br />

Break the feta into smallish<br />

pieces and gently stir it through<br />

the egg mix along with the finely<br />

chopped tomatoes, basil or parsley.<br />

Add this wet mix to the dry<br />

ingredients and stir lightly so that<br />

it is only just mixed through.<br />

Spoon into the muffin cups and<br />

bake for 10-15min.<br />

There are a number of<br />

variations that work well with<br />

this recipe. You can add a little<br />

chopped ham, salami or cooked<br />

bacon if you wish or cut out the<br />

feta and add your own favourite<br />

cheese.<br />

Cheese and Onion<br />

Muffins<br />

Just leave out the feta and<br />

tomatoes from the previous<br />

recipe and replace them with<br />

a couple of finely sliced onions<br />

that have been cooked in the<br />

microwave or a pan, with a little<br />

butter until very soft. The onion<br />

becomes lovely and sweet and<br />

makes the muffins moist as well.<br />

Add about half a cup extra of<br />

grated cheese.<br />

Wine<br />

On the trail of red grape tribidrag<br />

• By Mark Henderson<br />

MENTIONING THE Croatian<br />

red grape tribidrag will likely<br />

result in blank looks. Its claim<br />

to fame, however, is that it was<br />

the end point of a great deal<br />

of research and DNA profiling<br />

centred around zinfandel, most<br />

commonly (and extensively)<br />

found in California.<br />

There had been suspicions that<br />

zinfandel might be connected<br />

or related to primitivo, which<br />

is grown in Puglia, the “heel”<br />

of Italy. Advancements in DNA<br />

profiling technology in the 1990s<br />

led to the confirmation of this<br />

hypothesis, with further research<br />

unearthing a parent/offspring<br />

relationship to the Croatian<br />

grape plavac mali.<br />

This discovery led scientists<br />

to the Dalmatia area of Croatia,<br />

where a local grape called<br />

crljenak kastelanski was found to<br />

be a genetic match to zinfandel.<br />

Further research on this latter<br />

grape led to the discovery of<br />

a genetic match with the even<br />

more ancient Croatian variety<br />

tribidrag.<br />

Tribidrag/crljenak kastelanski,<br />

Croatia’s most successful grape<br />

export, thrives under its new<br />

monikers in both Puglia and the<br />

United States, where it initially<br />

arrived on the East Coast in the<br />

1820s before being taken west<br />

during the great gold rush.<br />

In California, its roughly<br />

20,000ha make it the secondmost-planted<br />

red grape after<br />

cabernet sauvignon and some<br />

60 per cent greater than the<br />

plantings in Puglia.<br />

It is also found in Montenegro,<br />

Mexico, other US states, the<br />

Languedoc and Australia,<br />

while the latest New Zealand<br />

Winegrowers figures list a scant<br />

2ha planted in New Zealand.<br />

Wines made from zinfandel/<br />

primitivo are typically opulent,<br />

lush, relatively high in alcohol,<br />

with bold fruit flavours such<br />

as raspberry, blueberry, dark<br />

cherry, plum and jam, backed<br />

by spice, liquorice and pepper<br />

characters. Super-ripe examples<br />

can move into the pruney, porty<br />

spectrum, while lighter versions<br />

emphasise red fruits.<br />

Mostly flying solo but<br />

sometimes seen in blends, they<br />

are generously flavoured and<br />

supple, invariably offering great<br />

bang for buck.<br />

allows the native biodiversity to flourish.<br />

With a bold vision for a Pest Free Banks<br />

Peninsula by 2050, the tūī and other iconic<br />

species like ruru (morepork), pīwakawaka<br />

(fantail), kororā (white flippered little blue<br />

penguin), hoiho (yellow-eyed penguin) and<br />

tītī (sooty shearwater), jewelled geckos,<br />

spotted skinks, the Banks Peninsula Tree<br />

Weta and Akaroa daisies, are getting a<br />

helping hand.<br />

<strong>Bay</strong>leys are proud to support the Trust and<br />

the tūī by donating $100 from every house<br />

sold on Banks Peninsula to assist with<br />

predator control and habitat restoration.<br />

Together we can protect our native taonga<br />

for the people of Banks Peninsula and<br />

Ōtautahi - Christchurch.

Mercedes SUV can be sporty or tame<br />

THERE’S BEEN a lot of debate in<br />

the Star Media newsroom lately as<br />

to what constitutes a four-wheeldrive<br />

vehicle.<br />

When reporting, there’s a general<br />

belief that anything that sits high<br />

and looks like an enlarged station<br />

wagon is a 4WD.<br />

Of course, that’s not the case,<br />

many of today’s tall wagons just<br />

have drive to front or rear wheels<br />

only, and they fall into the category<br />

of sport utility vehicles. To complicate<br />

the matter many SUVs do have<br />

four-wheel-drive.<br />

One car which squarely fits into<br />

the SUV and 4WD categories,<br />

and adds a luxury element as well,<br />

is Mercedes-Benz’s GLA 250, an<br />

entirely new model that has just<br />

landed in New Zealand.<br />

The GLA has been a steady seller<br />

for the brand, and the newcomer<br />

will easily pick-up where its predecessor<br />

left off.<br />

At just over 4.4m the GLA is<br />

firstly a compact SUV, but one<br />

that is versatile and capable as an<br />

all round family vehicle, and one<br />

which can be sporty or tame all in<br />

the one package.<br />

The GLA lands here in four variants<br />

depending on power outputs,<br />

all engines have four-cylinders. The<br />

200 (2WD) has a 1.3-litre unit, the<br />

250, AMG 35 and AMG 45 S have<br />

the same basic 2-litre engine with<br />

varying power outputs depending<br />

on how much turbo boost<br />

you require as a driver and, as I’ve<br />

alluded to, those three models get<br />

Mercedes Benz’s 4Matic all-corner<br />

drive system.<br />

The GLA 250 lists at $86,500;<br />

others in the range start at $73,300<br />

and end at $126,400 for the full<br />

noise 45 S.<br />

In recent years I’ve evaluated several<br />

Mercedes-Benz vehicles with<br />

the low power 2-litre turbocharged<br />

engine, and have never been disappointed.<br />

The GLA 250 sits with that<br />

well, it is capable and competent,<br />

it’s just that it doesn’t have the massive<br />

injection of power that comes<br />

with its AMG stablemates.<br />

Interior features are extensive<br />

and too numerous to mention<br />

but I must make mention of the<br />

large centre screen display which<br />

flows across the dash panel, much<br />

like the size of two iPads joined<br />

together horizontally. Most of the<br />

in-cabin features can be controlled<br />

through it, but if you would prefer<br />

to make adjustments through voice<br />

command, a simple ‘hey Mercedes’<br />

will prompt a reply, and you can<br />

talk to the vehicle instructing it<br />

through a multitude of commands.<br />

Up front sits a 1991cc, twincamshaft,<br />

engine which is rated<br />

with 165kW and 350Nm of torque.<br />

On the subject of figures, it also<br />

MERCEDES-BENZ GLA 250: Four-wheel-drive provides a<br />

feeling of control and balance.<br />

fares quite well with fuel usage,<br />

Mercedes-Benz claiming a 7.5-litre<br />

per 100km combined cycle average.<br />

During my testing time the<br />

trip computer was constantly<br />

listing around 8.5l/100km which<br />

wasn’t that far distant along with a<br />

5l/100km instantaneous reading at<br />

100km/h (engine speed 1500rpm).<br />

The GLA 250 drives through an<br />

eight-speed dual clutch automatic<br />

transmission. The low and close<br />

proximity of ratios allow for a solid,<br />

unbroken flow of power. When the<br />

pressure is on, the GLA 250 will<br />

launch to 100km/h from a standstill<br />

in 6.7sec and easily complete<br />

an 80km/h to 120km/h overtaking<br />

manoeuvre in 5sec. These<br />

are quick times and will satisfy<br />

the performance driver, when the<br />

turbo is boosting strongly the feel<br />

of power is dynamic, inviting spirited<br />

motoring.<br />

I took the test car through the<br />

gentle undulating twists and turns<br />

of the inland scenic route of the<br />

Selwyn district, returning home<br />

through Dunsandel and Lincoln.<br />

The balance and feel of grip is quite<br />

phenomenal through some of those<br />

tight corners heading towards<br />

Ellesmere. Even though the 4Matic<br />

system only comes into play when<br />

grip at the front is marginal, there<br />

is a feeling through the driveline of<br />

control and balance.<br />

Fitted to the GLA 250 are high<br />

profile Continental tyres (235/50<br />

x 19in), and because of their tall<br />

structure they absorb a lot of road<br />

nuances, imparting high levels of<br />

in-cabin comfort. They are also<br />

• Price – Mercedes-Benz<br />

GLA 250 4Matic, $86,500<br />

• Dimensions – Length,<br />

4410mm; width,<br />

1834mm; height, 1611mm<br />

• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />

four-wheeldrive,<br />

1991cc, 165kW,<br />

350Nm, eight-speed<br />

automatic<br />

• Performance –<br />

0-100km/h, 6.7sec<br />

• Fuel usage – 7.5l/100km<br />

quiet and allow strong feedback at<br />

the steering wheel along with positive<br />

directional accuracy.<br />

With its 4Matic system the GLA<br />

250 has useful off-the-seal ability.<br />

I didn’t take it off-road bar for a<br />

short burst on a shingle track, but I<br />

can imagine it would be a great car<br />

to tackle the winter skifield access<br />

road or, as we come into summer,<br />

the perfect vehicle to travel to the<br />

peninsula batch.<br />

It is also a good example of why<br />

the word utility is part of the SUV<br />

acronym.

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ACT 1991<br />

CHRISTCHURCH DISTRICT PLAN<br />

PROPOSED PLAN CHANGE 5<br />

PACKAGE OF CHANGES<br />

Christchurch City Council has initiated Plan Change 5 to the District Plan.<br />

The proposed Plan Change<br />

Proposed Plan Change 5 is a group of plan changes which seeks to:<br />

• Reinforce direction that offices and shops are to be primarily located in the<br />

Central City and commercial centres as well as clarifying the role of these<br />

centres as commercial focal points (5A).<br />

• Clarify and better reflect the intent and outcomes sought in the Commercial<br />

chapter, including the role of centres and the types and scale of retail, offices<br />

and other activities that are anticipated in centres amongst other changes<br />

including definitions (5B).<br />

• Clarify what is sought and/or required in the Industrial chapter, including<br />

clearer direction for the redevelopment of former industrial land for residential<br />

and mixed uses that support good neighbourhood design amongst other<br />

changes including definitions (5C).<br />

• Make sure that home-based businesses are of a type and scale appropriate in<br />

residential and rural areas through various changes including to definitions<br />

(5D).<br />

• Simplify a rule for noise insulation near railways and roads (5E).<br />

• Changes to zoning and overlays on the planning maps for identified sites,<br />

including to reflect what is already happening or anticipated, zone new roads<br />

and open spaces for their intended purpose, as well as realigning the zone<br />

boundaries between Christchurch and our neighbouring Districts, amongst<br />

other changes (5F).<br />

• Make changes arising from the implementation of new national direction that<br />

requires removal of car parking requirements. This includes consequential<br />

changes arising such as a landscaping rule for car parking areas, which is based<br />

on the number of car parks required (5G).<br />

• Provide for antenna associated with telecommunications at an appropriate<br />

scale (5H).<br />

• Enable temporary signs associated with general and local government<br />

elections (candidate and party) and referendum (5I).<br />

lovingly constructed from the ground up by the vendors<br />

and is reluctantly farewelled following a lengthy tenure<br />

to accommodate a move out of town. Enjoying premium<br />

positioning on the prestigious lower slopes of Clifton<br />

Hill, this property is nestled within the landscape and<br />

captures exceptional views over Sumner Beach. The<br />

classically designed home offers ample space and features<br />

multiple living zones that effortlessly flow outdoors. Three<br />

bedrooms provide accommodation, with two bathrooms<br />

servicing the household. Contact Paula or Simon for more<br />

information.<br />
