AS SUMMER approaches, baches

travel amid
the Covid-19
pandemic.

according to figures released by

Ray White New Zealand South

Meyer said interest in baches was
indicative of the broader market.
“Obviously people have looked
at their money in the bank and
thought ‘it’s not earning me
anything’, mortgages are cheap,
we’re not going overseas and

Sea-level rise in council focus
Mitigating risk
could start in
Lyttelton and
Mt Herbert areas
David Griffiths
THE LYTTELTON, Mt Herbet
area could be prioritised for
work aimed at mitigating the
impacts of sea-level rise on
communities.
The city council wants to
begin adaptation planning work
with communities likely to be
impacted in the future by rising
sea levels.
City councillors will decide
tomorrow
whether
to endorse
the Coastal
Hazards
Adaptation
Planning
programme.
Endorsement
of the
programme
would see
adaptation planning start with
some communities in the Lyttelton,
Mt Herbert area. These
communities have been identified
as a priority for a variety
of reasons that includes their
exposure to coastal hazards.
“While sea level rise will happen
over a longer period of time,
we do need to start planning now
for how we respond to it, and to
the associated coastal hazards
like flooding, erosion and rising
groundwater,” said city council
head of planning and strategic
transport David Griffiths.
Within the next 30 years, the
Ministry for the Environment
predicts that sea levels will rise
by around 370mm and by just
over 1m by 2100. For a low-lying,
coastal city like Christchurch,
this means around 25,000 properties
will be exposed to coastal
flooding and around 1000 properties
will be at risk of coastal
erosion over the next 100 years.
“We’re proposing to follow
the Ministry for the Environment’s
guidance which sets out
a 10-step process for how we can
adapt to the actual and expected
changes from climate change,”
Griffiths said.
“It’s a process that puts community
engagement at the centre
of decision-making. It also gives
PRIORITY:

planning

communities

impacted in
the future
by rising sea
levels. ​
us a way to progress things and
make decisions, even when there
is uncertainty about the rate and
effects of climate change.”
In May 2020 a Coastal Hazards
Working Group with representatives
from the city council,
Environment Canterbury and
Ngāi Tahu was established to
provide direction and feedback
on the programme.
City council staff have been
working closely with the working
group to get the programme
to this point.
Work to improve
Dyers Pass Rd
safety to start soon
WORK TO improve the safety of
Dyers Pass Rd will begin shortly.
The city council has awarded
Higgins Construction a contract
to widen the winding road in
places and to install 3km of
guardrail.
“There are guardrails along
about a quarter of the length
of the road at moment but the
road is fairly narrow and cars
and cyclists are competing for
road spaces,” said city council
transport planning and delivery
manager Lynette Ellis.
“The road has a high crash rate
and the steep terrain means that
when crashes do happen, they
often result in severe injuries.
“This safety upgrade will result
in a slightly wider road crosssection
and new guardrails will
be installed in high-risk locations,
which should reduce the severity
of crashes. By the end of the
project there will be guardrails
along almost 70 per cent of the
route.”
The safety improvements are
budgeted to cost about $7.2 million.
The New Zealand Transport
Agency is meeting three-quarters
of the cost as it has included the
project in its safer networks programme.
The work is expected to be
finished in June next year.

Primary sports director retiring after
Dedicated Primary
Sports Canterbury
sports director Lyn
Miles is poised to blow
the final whistle on her
association with the
role she has occupied
since 1997
• By Chris Barclay
THE FINISH line is in sight for
Lyn Miles, her race is run once
she watches hundreds of kids
circle the athletics track at Nga
Puna Wai one last time.
Miles, the sports director for
Primary Sports Canterbury,
signs off at the organisation’s
athletics championships on December
2, the event marking the
end of a serious leisure pursuit
that started in 1997.
Back then Miles, a former
teacher at Selwyn House School
and development officer for Netball
New Zealand, had six sports
to organise events for – now the
calendar covers 32 disciplines
from your stock-standard rugby
and football to boccia and hiphop
dancing.
Though netball and athletics
are the 72-year-old’s forte, Miles
has had to absorb the rules of

something’s not working quite as
it should be or could be,” she said.
Take slow pitch softball and
touch rugby.
Miles noticed some sly softball
teams were deliberately pitching
out of an opponent’s reach to
limit the amount of runs they’d
concede in a 15min inning,
knowing the scores were tallied
at the end of the game.
“We changed the rule so the
batting team also supplied the
pitcher so the kids can actually
NOW OPEN
get through as fast as they can to
get some runs.”
In touch rugby, girls were
awarded two points for a try, double
the lads, so they weren’t left out.
“We give the girls two points
otherwise the boys just hog the
ball. Now they’re more keen on
giving the girls the chance to
score a try.
“Little things like that might
make a difference when it comes
to primary school kids wanting
to play sport.”
While taking part is obviously
key, Miles is old-school in
a way when asked if winning is
important.
“My views on that are probably
not what they should be. I believe
children do need competition.
They actually like to win,” she
said, adding: “I think it should be
a mixture of winning and trying.
“We do cross-country and it’s
just amazing how many parents
take children all around the
country to compete at primary
school level. A few may keep
doing it at high school but a lot
of them won’t because they’re
pushed so much by their parents.
I don’t believe in that.”
Miles has naturally witnessed
the excesses of overzealous parents
and realises abuse is part of
the game, though behaviour has
improved.

two decades of service
LEGACY: The annual primary schools cross-country event,
one of many organised by Miles over the years.
“We haven’t had a lot of
problems (recently) because the
schools are quite good at dealing
with it now. If it really gets bad
I go to the sports coordinator
and then maybe the principal.
A few years ago we had a school
that banned parents from going
to any of the events. The school
stepped up for us.”
Occasionally the participants
also need a word in their ear,
with Miles happy to lay down the
law.
“If the children are at fault,
we’ll stop a game and tell them
we won’t continue unless they
change. We haven’t had a lot of
that lately, hopefully that’s because
the schools are educating
the children before they get to
events.”
Miles, who became a member
of the New Zealand Order of
Merit in 2010 for services to
netball, nominated the increased
interest in duathlon as a highlight
of her tenure.
“I also enjoy orienteering
because kids that are not excellent
at sport but just want to do
something . . . it gives them the
chance. So does bowls.”
Given she has seen thousands
of kids go through their paces,
there were bound to be a couple
who matured into household
names, Miles remembered a
couple of recognisable internationals.
“I went to Chisnallwood Intermediate
and Ryan Crotty accepted
one of the rugby plaques.
I remember (former Silver Fern)
Anna Stanley (nee Rowberry)
playing netball.”
Templeton-based Miles is
succeeded this week by Michael
Wilson from the Selwyn Sports
Trust, though she will stay on to
ease his transition.
She will continue to umpire
in the Selwyn Netball Centre
competition and groom her successors
in that role as well. Over
summer she plans to officiate
athletics.
Those gigs maintain a life-long
love of sport, but she will still
miss her full-time job.
“I’ll miss the smiles on the
kids’ faces, the interaction with
everybody. It’s so good to go to a
venue like Hagley Park and think
‘well I made this possible’,” she
said.
“What I won’t miss is looking
at the weather every day, and
having to decide whether we
have things on or not.”

•From page 1
“That’s just building the whole
momentum in the market. It’s
been driven from the first home
buyers right through, this is the
market we’ve found ourselves in.
Covid has kind of created a miniboom,”
she said.
While Akaroa and Wainui were
popular spots in Canterbury, there
was even more demand elsewhere
on the Mainland.
It’s absolutely boom time down
there in Wanaka and Arrowtown,”
Meyer said.
“Te Anau … Golden Bay, people
are just snapping up anything that
comes on the market.
Meyer expected transactions to
spike again in the new year after
bach owners had enjoyed one last
summer in their home away from
home.
“Maybe the family didn’t come
this year, or the kids are all gone.
Maybe it’s too small because
they’ve got eight grandchildren,”
she said.
“We tend to see more come on
(the market) post-Christmas once
decisions are made.”

yoga pose of the month
Thunderbolt
Thunderbolt pose builds strength in your legs, core and back.
It aligns your spine and shoulders and is a great pose for
many different sports people. Rugby players, golfers, cyclists,
skiers and rock climbers, to name just a few, will benefit from
this pose. It helps to restore good postural alignment to your
body and infuse you with a sense of personal power.
• Stand with your feet together on your mat.
• Bend your knees, keeping your heels at the
floor.
• Hug your lower belly in towards your spine
and lift your torso and arms up towards the
sky.
• Move your weight mainly into your heels. You
may be able to lift your toes off the mat.
• You may find it helps to squeeze your knees
and thighs together for support. If you are
able, separate your knees a centimeter or
two.
• Draw your tailbone down towards the floor
and keep your abdominal muscles engaged.
• Reach your arms up alongside your ears with
your palms turned towards one another.
• Draw your shoulders back and expand your chest.
• Knit your front ribs
in towards the
centreline of your
body.
• Draw your shoulder
blades down your back
and inwards towards your
spine. This involves strong
engagement of the spinal
erectors – muscles in
your back that keep you
upright.
• If it does not bother your neck, lift your gaze
up towards your hands.
• Hold this pose for five deep breaths before
gently bowing forward from the hips. Allow
your arms to hang towards the floor.
In Thunderbolt, be struck by the vital energy of the pose, by the strength in your body
and the resolve and commitment in your heart.

Matchmaking in property and romance
• By Chris Barclay
YVETTE WRIGHT is single,
and looking – looking out
for Christchurch’s hopeless
romantics.
The Lyttelton-based real
estate agent has diversified into
matchmaking, with a dinner
party-based club for the wary
and lovelorn scheduled to hold
its first get-together later this
month.
The 52-year-old would have
launched Connect2Twelve
earlier had Covid-19 not crashed
the party though the pandemic
might actually pay off in the long
run.
“I think it’s made people look
at their lives a little bit as well
and maybe be a bit more proactive
in relationships and social
networking,” Wright said.
She went to ‘Table for Eight’
events during a 22-year stint in
Sydney, the catalyst for establishing
her own alternative to online
dating.
“I love dinner parties and
meeting people that way,” she
said.
“I’ve tried online dating, it can
be soul-destroying. I know some
people do have success, I’m not
knocking it, I just didn’t like it.”
Of course she has her own
online horror stories, the sort of
staple dinner conversations she
hopes to avoid around her tables

“It’s the usual story, they don’t
look anything like their picture.
One gentleman was nearly 20
years older when he finally
sent me a current photo. I felt
so humiliated and betrayed,
I had invested my emotions
into this communication and
right from the start it was a lie,”
Wright said, before relaying a
girlfriend’s brief, though galling,
encounter.
“He sat down and asked her:
‘Are we going to be having sex
tonight?’ and when she said: ‘No’
he just got up and walked out.
He only sat down with her for
five minutes.”

to Christchurch three years ago,
acknowledged online dating
was an obstacle, yet the likes of
Tinder might also work in her
favour.
“There’s a lot of fake profiles
with girlfriends, husbands and
wives trying to catch each other
out,” she said.
There are also safety issues
associated with meeting at
random.
“At least with a matchmaking
type of service you’re eyeballing
somebody. You can see their face
and their emotions, you can read
people.”
Wright vets all her prospective
clients before they are cleared to
pay the $375 annual membership
fee.
“I have a really good instinct
with people and if I want to do a
bit of a (police) check, my clients
know about that up front,” she
said.
Wright revealed she had rejected
two women already. One
was recently divorced and probably
not ready, the other seemed
too competitive.
“The (divorcee) needed to take
some time out and I thought
the other one would take over
conversations. There was a bit of
a jealous streak there.”
Meanwhile, Wright insisted
female clients had nothing to
fear from her as a potential love
rival in spite of her privileged
position.
“I don’t want to be competing
with them and it’d be easy for
me to do that considering I’m
meeting the men first,” she said.
“It’s unfair to the women if
I’m putting myself out there.
I’ll probably end up meeting
someone who runs a restaurant.”

Tasty Bites
Start the day a healthy way with muesli
MAKING YOUR own muesli is
by no means a cheap alternative
to the store-bought ones but it is
an easy way to get a delicious and
healthy cereal jam-packed with all
your favourite fruits and nuts.
You can use any combination
of ingredients that you like and
recipes can should be treated as a
guide.
Check out the self-serve bins for
fruit and nut ideas.
There is not a lot of honey in
these recipes as the fruit provides
most of the sweetness but you can
add more if you like.
Don’t omit the pinch of salt; it
makes a world of difference to the
finished product.
And finally, watch it carefully as
it cooks. It should be just starting
to colour up and become aromatic.
If you cook it too much, it will
become hard and crunchy.
Muesli
Ingredients
1/3 cup oil
2 tblsp honey
2 cups organic rolled oats
1 cup wheat flakes
¾ cup all bran or bran flakes
1/3 cup sunflower seeds
1/3 cup pumpkin seeds
pinch of salt
½ cup dried apricots
½ cup dried papaya
Sick of late night tenant phone calls and being on call 24/7?
Tenants not paying their rent on time?
½ cup dried mango
½ cup dried pineapple
½ cup Brazil nuts
a few figs or dates
Pre-heat your oven to
150 deg C.
Roughly chop the dried fruit
and nuts and set aside. In a large
bowl combine the oats, wheat
flakes, all bran or bran flakes,
sunflower and pumpkin seeds
and the pinch of salt.
Soften the honey and mix with
the oil. Stir into the dry ingredients
until thoroughly coated.
Cover a baking tray with baking
paper and spread the mixture
Can’t find a tenant for your vacant property?
evenly over it. Place in the centre
of the oven and bake for six
or seven minutes. Remove from
the oven and give it a good stir
around. Return to the oven and
bake for a further five or six minutes.
Remove from the oven and
stir in the fruit. Place back in
the oven for another minute or
two. Take it out of the oven and
leave until completely cold before
storing in an airtight container.
(Makes about nine cups).
Bircher muesli
Named after Swiss nutritionist
Dr Bircher-Brenner, this raw
muesli is left to soak overnight
in fruit juice to create a scrumptious,
creamy concoction which is
enhanced by the addition of fresh
fruit and yogurt just before it is
eaten. It is a delicious way to start
the day.
The following recipe will make
enough for about six servings,
once you have added all the fresh
fruit and yogurt.
You can use a flavoured yoghurt
but the tang of a plain unsweetened
yoghurt compliments the
sweet fruit and creamy oats
nicely. Replace the orange juice
with milk if you prefer a creamier
muesli.
Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
½ cup desiccated coconut
1/3 cup dates
1/3 cup dried apricots
1 dsp honey
1¼ cup fresh orange juice
To serve
2 bananas
1 apples
1 orange
plain yoghurt
Wash and roughly chop the dates
and apricots and mix with the
oats and coconut. Add the honey
and orange juice and stir well to
combine. Cover tightly and place
in the refrigerator overnight.
In the morning, grate the
apple, skin and all, and mash the
bananas. Stir into the oat mixture
along with a few tablespoons of
yoghurt. You can also add fresh
fruit such as an orange and milk
if you wish.
If you just want to make one
serving at a time, you can mix
together the oats, coconut, dates
and apricots and store them in an
airtight container.
That way you have the start
of a delicious breakfast that
just needs orange juice and a little
honey for the overnight soak and
the fruit in the
morning . . . yum.

Impossible: My Story
by stan Walker
A startling and important memoir about family and
forgiveness, love and redemption For the first time, Stan
Walker speaks with startling honesty about abuse and
addiction, hardship and excess, cancer and discrimination,
and growing up in a family where love and violence were
horribly entwined. From one of the finest singers to emerge
from Australia and New Zealand Aotearoa in a generation,
Impossible is a story of redemption and the power of
forgiveness. It’s also a story about courage and hope; about
a young Maori boy finding his place and purpose, never
forgetting who he is and where he came from.

Business broker offers wide-ranging
skills and experience
Business broker Graeme Brenssell has
extensive experience in business, ranging
from high-end corporate management to
successful business ownership. After being
a client of LINK Business, he decided to
become a broker, bringing with him 30
years of business knowledge.
As he explains: “Buying or selling a
business is one of the most important
decisions in your life and having been there
myself my aim is to achieve the best result
for my client and make the process as stress
free as possible.”
For many years Graeme was at ‘the coal
face’, making the tough decisions, bearing
the risk, seeing the rewards, and ultimately
growing his business into a nationwide
wholesaler and importer with international

can help
you sell your
business
business connections. Therefore, having
been in the same position as many of his
clients, he understands how important this
process is to a business owner, as well as
knowing the intricacies and nuances that
come with such a transaction.
Prior to becoming a business owner,
Graeme began his career as an accountant
in a Christchurch CA firm. From there
he developed his skills in the corporate
world, becoming a financial controller for
companies in New Zealand and overseas,
widely recognised for his ability to think
strategically and for his strengths in
strategic planning, financial control, and
systems development.
As a business broker Graeme says he
brings a broad, in-depth knowledge of
business operations complemented by
financial skills, and a strong desire to help
his clients.
“I have a well-rounded skill set and
considerable knowledge in business
development, financial management,
business appraisal, due diligence, change
management and business restructuring,
but first and foremost, I have been where
many of you are now,” he says.
In business broking Graeme was seeking
a partner with the same values he has of
working hard for the client.
“The company had to be exceptionally
professional and ethical, as well as ticking
several other key boxes. I was also seeking
a highly recognisable and respected brand.
This led me directly to LINK Business, the
largest business broker in the world with an
international network. Without question
they have more brokers, more listings and
more sales than any other business broking
company,” Graeme says.
BAY HARBOUR
“Balancing this, LINK is also a niche
business, only brokering businesses, not
real estate sales or commercial property
sales. This means that LINK focusses
strongly on supporting the sale process
of business and with 25 years’ experience,
has developed and refined its systems and
processes to achieve exceptional results.
“LINK has invested significantly in an
award-winning business appraisal tool and
consistently 95 per cent of businesses sell
within four per cent of the appraised value
– a great advantage to a business owner
thinking of selling.

Toyota Yaris hybrid pick-of-the-bunch
THERE WAS A time in Japan
when nearly all of Toyota’s new
vehicles were offered to the
domestic market with hybrid
technology.
In New Zealand we had a
smattering of them arrive here in
pre-owned form and, of course,
Toyota New Zealand had Prius and
its off-shoots – Prius C and Prius V.
Demand for hybrid technology
has allowed TNZ to broaden its
hybrid range, of course Lexus is well
represented in hybrid form, and
models within Toyota’s mainstream
range are becoming increasingly
available with hybrid options, take
Corolla and Rav4 as examples.
The latest Toyota hybrid to
land here is the new Yaris, a
small hatchback that needs little
introduction, only that the new
series is a completely new design
from the previous generation.
The shape is more cutesy and the
driveline is vastly different, even if
you discount the hybrid variants.
All new Yaris models have threecylinder
engines, and that is the
way engine build is trending, many
manufacturers are leaning towards
the three-pot layout to glean
efficiency advantages.
Recently I evaluated the entry
level petrol-only Yaris and was
charmed by the 1.5-litre, naturallyaspirated
three-pot engine, it is a
real honey. That same engine is
coupled to the hybrid system that is
an option in the four-model Yaris
range. There are two petrol-only
models and two hybrids, both with
varying specification levels.
This evaluation surrounds the
range-topping hybrid – ZR to be
exact. It lists at $32,990, adding
$5000 to the entry-level GX which
is most tempting and easily within
the budget of eco-conscious buyers.
It doesn’t seem that long ago that
when Prius arrived its price tag was
something one had to really aspire to;
today hybrids are affordable and the
Yaris definitely sits in that category.
For the record, the petrol-only
Yaris is priced at $25,990 and
$29,990. The pricing is structured
so that if you felt you wanted to do
something for the environment,
then a step up to hybrid isn’t
onerous. As an aside, both variants
have a $500 two-tone paint option.
To be honest, if I was a Yaris
buyer, I’d be into the hybrid, for
me it’s the best of both worlds,
that cheeky wee three-cylinder
engine and the benefits of battery
propulsion.
Yes, the Yaris in this form feels
sprightly; the electric boost on
top of the engine’s 67kW is very
noticeable. What’s more, battery
power comes in from a zero point,
it is immediate and adds to the
TOYOTA YARIS ZR: Fitted with economical hybrid system.
torquey nature of the engine. For
the record, Toyota claims a 120Nm
low end figure, while hybrid boost
adds18kW at the top end.
Take into account, too, that
the Yaris hybrid is light at just
1130kg, there is a constant feisty
feeling, the engine is a delight with
its characteristic harmonics and
free-revving nature. In traditional
Toyota hybrid fashion, drive is
sent to the front wheels through
continuously variable transmission.
The Yaris wants to run on electric
power mostly, of course the engine
has to charge the batteries, but it
seems to me the batteries have a
high and lasting charge, the engine
is quick to cut out, only reluctantly
coming on-board when immediate
acceleration is needed.
That’s no surprise, high power
batteries are the norm in hybrids
these days, and with further
efficiencies all-round the Yaris is a
lean operator.
Toyota claims an amazing
combined cycle fuel usage figures
of 3.3-litres per 100km for the Yaris
hybrid; that was a hard target but
I took the evaluation car back to
the dealership with the fuel usage
readout listing at 4l/100km, which
I was quite pleased with, and it
was up with the lowest readings
I’ve ever had testing a car with an
internal combustion engine.
For interest’s sake, the petrolonly
model is rated at 4.9l/100km,
so there are noticeable advantages
to be gained from buying hybrid.
While the Yaris might be
considered the quintessential city
runabout, it is also happy on a long
journey, I completed my usual
Malvern Hills circuit and it simply
cruises beautifully, fuss-free and
happy to tackle a quick overtake.
Toyota also claims a 10.2sec
standstill to 100km/h acceleration
time, which is marginally quicker
than petrol-only. The Yaris hybrid
will also complete a highway
overtake in 7.1sec (80-120km/h),
that strong mid-range push making
this time very acceptable.
• Price – Toyota Yaris ZR
hybrid, $32,990
• Dimensions – Length,
3940mm; width, 1695mm;
height, 1500mm
• Configuration – Threecylinder,
front-wheeldrive,
1490cc, 67kW,
120Nm, continuously
variable automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 10.2sec
• Fuel usage – 3.3l/100km
As capable as it is, the Yaris
hybrid will most definitely
appeal to those who will use it
as a city commuter and for the
occasional highway journey and,
for that matter, it is perfect for that
role.
In ZR form it gets a healthy level
of specification – keyless entry
and ignition, satellite navigation,
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto,
radar cruise control and headup
display. The latter sit with
Toyota’s extensive suite of safety
technologies which, when tested,
should easily earn a five-star
Australasian New Car Assessment
Program rating.
Not only does the entire Yaris
range stand out for its honesty and
frugal operating nature, the new
model has design flair and style on
its side. It competes well with the
raft of new-age fuel efficient models
which are landing in New Zealand
at the moment.
Toyota can relax though, its
hybrid systems are widely regarded
and you’d be hard pressed to find a
driveline with greater efficiency.

When setting your annual mileage you also agree to standard wear and tear, and we establish a value that the car will be worth at the end of the
contract term (the “guaranteed future value”). If you decide to retain the vehicle at the end of the contracted term, you simply pay this agreed value.

Sport R Dynamic S. Just one of the many options available across the range.
At the end of the term, you can choose to retain your Discovery Sport by paying the guaranteed future value, or hand back the keys. If your Discovery
Sport is worth more than the guaranteed future value, you can use this amount as a discount on the latest Land Rover model of your choice.
