Plans for final<br />

of pathway<br />
progressing<br />
THE SPEED limit on Main Rd,<br />
Redcliffs, could be lowered to<br />
40km/h as part of the multimillion<br />
dollar project to complete<br />
the final section of Te Ara Ihutai<br />
Christchurch Coastal Pathway.<br />
The speed limit reduction is one<br />
of several proposed changes the<br />
city council is seeking community<br />
feedback on as it moves to finalise<br />
plans for the final section of the<br />
pathway, around Moncks <strong>Bay</strong>.<br />
“The final section of the Christchurch<br />
Coastal Pathway runs<br />
through a complex coastal environment,’’<br />
city council transport<br />
planning and delivery manager<br />
Lynette Ellis said.<br />
“We are going to be building<br />
in a narrow, busy corridor along<br />
the coastal marine edge that has<br />
wildlife and natural hazards so it<br />
requires a lot of detailed planning.<br />
“Our goal is to substantially<br />
upgrade the existing narrow grit<br />
path to create a 4m-wide, safe,<br />
high-quality pathway for a variety<br />
of users. •Turn to page 5<br />
CONNECTION: A 4m-wide section will complete the Christchurch Coastal Pathway. It will be accessible to a variety of users.<br />

Meeting to discuss<br />
rising sea levels<br />
PEOPLE LIVING in the<br />
Lyttelton and Mt Herbert areas<br />
will be the first to be consulted<br />
on over the impact of rising sea<br />
levels.<br />
The city council has agreed<br />
to start adaptation planning<br />
with low-lying<br />
coastal and<br />
inland communities<br />
likely to<br />
be impacted by<br />
rising sea levels.<br />
A meeting<br />
will be held<br />
Mike<br />
Davidson<br />
on Monday,<br />
6-7.30pm, Allandale<br />
Hall,<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong>.<br />
Said urban development and<br />
transport committee chairman<br />
Mike Davidson: “We have a big<br />
coastline and a lot of low-lying<br />
land, so one of the most significant<br />
challenges facing us is how<br />
do we respond to the coastal<br />
hazards caused by climate<br />
change and sea level rise.<br />
“First up, it’s important we<br />
have a city-wide conversation<br />
about the adaptation planning<br />
process as there are implications<br />
for all residents, not just people<br />
CONSULTATION: The city council will be talking to<br />
communities likely to be impacted by rising sea levels.<br />
living in coastal and low-lying<br />
communities. We have some big<br />
decisions ahead of us that will<br />
likely have an impact not just on<br />
this generation, but on generations<br />
to come.<br />
“We then need to work closely<br />
with our first tranche of communities,<br />
to develop an adaptation<br />
plan together.<br />
“The adaptation planning<br />
programme that we have<br />
PHOTO: NEWSLINE<br />
formally endorsed today is<br />
based on the Ministry for the<br />
Environment’s guidance and<br />
puts community engagement<br />
at the centre of our decisionmaking.”<br />
The city council sessions will<br />
give interested residents across<br />
the district an opportunity to<br />
learn more about the coastal<br />
hazards adaptation planning<br />
programme.<br />
Spirit of Enderby first<br />
to use new berth<br />
LYTTELTON’S new $67<br />
million cruise ship berth<br />
was meant to be vessel<br />
empty for a while – until<br />
Spirit of Enderby arrived<br />
on Monday.<br />
The Christchurchbased<br />
Heritage Expeditions<br />
flagship has claimed<br />
the honour of being the<br />
first cruise ship to berth at<br />
the new facility.<br />
The berth will be officially<br />
opened next Wednesday.<br />
Covid-19 will mean cruise<br />
ships arriving in Lyttelton will be<br />
scare, if non-existent, until the<br />
pandemic is over.<br />
But the Spirit of Enderby was<br />
a welcome insight of what is to<br />
come.<br />
Lyttelton Port Company<br />
engagement and sustainability<br />
general manager Phil de Joux<br />
said he was not expecting the<br />
berth would be used by a cruise<br />
ship so soon.<br />
The port was also busy at the<br />
moment so having the new berth<br />
was helping ease congestion.<br />
“We’ve been looking at other<br />
uses for it … a Korean Antarctic<br />
research ship will be using it<br />
next week but at the moment we<br />
actually have quite a bit of berth<br />
HONOUR: The Spirit of Enderby was<br />
the first ship to use Lyttelton’s new<br />
cruise liner berth.<br />
congestion in our inner harbour,<br />
so it will be good,” said de Joux.<br />
De Joux said that in spite of the<br />
dampener Covid-19 had put on<br />
the cruise industry, he was proud<br />
his team was able to finish the<br />
berth on time and on budget.<br />
“We are nearly at the end of five<br />
years of reconstruction now following<br />
the earthquakes. It is the<br />
end of an era and it is a great asset<br />
for the future.”<br />
The Spirit of Enderby sailed<br />
directly from Vladivostok in<br />
eastern Russia and the crew have<br />
been in isolation for 44 days.<br />
Russian crew members received<br />
another Covid-19 test on Monday<br />
morning and have to remain on<br />
the ship for now.<br />
The 50-passenger ship will sail<br />
to Invercargill to pick up its first<br />
passengers on <strong>November</strong> 24 for a<br />
Kiwi-only cruise.<br />

Pathway to marina under way<br />
CONTRACTORS have started<br />
constructing a pathway, two<br />
new pedestrian crossings and<br />
relocating the Sutton Quay<br />
port access gate, creating a<br />
pedestrian link from Norwich<br />
Quay to Te Ana Marina in<br />
Lyttelton.<br />
Currently, there is no<br />
pedestrian<br />
access from<br />
the quay to Te<br />
Ana Marina,<br />
meaning<br />
people must<br />
either use the<br />
stairs from<br />
Simeon Quay<br />
to the back<br />
Andrew<br />
Turner<br />
of Te Ana<br />
Marina, or<br />
walk down to<br />
Godley Quay.<br />
Banks Peninsula Ward<br />
councillor and Deputy Mayor<br />
Andrew Turner said it was great<br />
to seee the Lyttelton community<br />
gain additional access to the<br />
waterfront.<br />
“Whakaraupō/Lyttelton<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> is a special place<br />
to many people. We know<br />
that particularly during the<br />
Covid-19 level 4 lockdown<br />
earlier this year Te Ana Marina<br />
was a very popular spot for<br />
locals to walk and enjoy some<br />
fresh air,” he said.<br />
“Providing this walkway<br />
will mean people can now<br />
easily walk from Lyttelton’s<br />
town centre to Te Ana<br />
Marina.<br />
“I’m looking forward to<br />
seeing more families and<br />
visitors down on the waterfront<br />
this summer – this is the perfect<br />
spot for a picnic, a walk along<br />
the promenade or a chance to<br />
take in the stunning harbour<br />
views.”<br />
Lyttelton Port Company<br />
engagement and sustainability<br />
general manager Phil de<br />
Joux said since Te Ana<br />
Marina was opened in 20<strong>18</strong>,<br />
it has been fantastic to see the<br />
community use the recreational<br />
area as a space to connect and<br />
enjoy.<br />
“While the new pathway is<br />
being constructed, no vehicles<br />
or pedestrians will be able to<br />
access the inner harbour via<br />
Sutton Quay. Alternative access<br />
and traffic management is in<br />
place for LPC’s customers and<br />
port users.”<br />
The new pathway is expected<br />
to be completed by mid-<br />
December.<br />
“We’re expecting to have<br />
the pedestrian pathway ready<br />
in time for the community<br />
to enjoy over the summer<br />
holidays,” de Joux said.<br />
Construction<br />
expected to start<br />
in June next year<br />
•From page 1<br />
“We also want to create some new<br />
pedestrian connections so we can<br />
make the pathway more accessible<br />
for locals,’’ Ellis said.<br />
“This will require some changes,<br />
including relocation of some existing<br />
bus stops and removal of some<br />
on-street parking on Main Rd.<br />
“With considerably more pedestrians<br />
and cyclists expected, a<br />
lower speed limit will help to keep<br />
everyone safe as they move through<br />
the area.’’<br />
To help maintain the availability<br />
of on-street parking in this popular<br />
area, the city council is proposing<br />
to upgrade the car park on the<br />
pump station site on Main Rd and<br />
add angle parking on Cliff St and<br />
<strong>Bay</strong>view Rd.<br />
“We are working towards a construction<br />
start in the middle of next<br />
year,’’ Ellis said.<br />
“We want to get this final section<br />
of the pathway completed so we can<br />
realise the Christchurch Coastal<br />
Pathway Group’s vision of having<br />
a coastal pathway that stretches all<br />
the way from Ferrymead Bridge<br />
through to Scarborough.’’<br />
Construction of the final section<br />
of the pathway is being funded<br />
by the Government as part of its<br />
Covid-19 response. It is one of<br />
the ‘shovel ready’ projects that are<br />
designed to stimulate the economy.<br />
Christchurch<br />
Hospital’s<br />
Emergency<br />
Department<br />
is on the move.<br />
From 7.30am on<br />
Wednesday <strong>18</strong> <strong>November</strong>,<br />
if you need emergency<br />
hospital care, you’ll need<br />
to come to the new<br />
Emergency Department<br />
in Waipapa – Christchurch<br />
Hospital, Hagley.<br />
Entry to the Emergency Department drop off<br />
area is off Riccarton Ave.<br />
Turn left in front of Christchurch Women’s<br />
Hospital for drop off and accessible parking<br />
in front of the new building.<br />
Please keep the<br />
Emergency Department<br />
for emergencies.

SLOW: Many water supplies on Banks Peninsula are stream-fed and are<br />
now running low due to dry conditions. Residents are being warned to save<br />
water.<br />
Residents urged to save<br />
water as streams run low<br />
STREAM-FED water<br />
supplies on Banks<br />
Peninsula are dropping,<br />
and the city council is<br />
pleading for residents to<br />
start saving water.<br />
Data from the city<br />
council shows Akaroa’s<br />
cumulative rainfall this<br />
year is the lowest it has<br />
been in a decade – its total<br />
rainfall this year is 447mm,<br />
less than half the 10-year<br />
average of 957mm.<br />
Duvauchelle’s water supply<br />
was also under extra<br />
pressure, with the streams<br />
that supply it running particularly<br />
low for <strong>November</strong>.<br />
“Most water supplies in<br />
Banks Peninsula<br />
are<br />
fed by small<br />
streams,<br />
which are<br />
usually at<br />
their lowest<br />
when Summer<br />
water demand<br />
is at its<br />
Helen<br />
Beaumont<br />
highest,” city council head<br />
of three waters and waste<br />
Helen Beaumont said.<br />
“Right now, streams<br />
are exceptionally low and<br />
expected to keep dropping,<br />
so we need residents to get<br />
on board early and start<br />
saving water now please.’’<br />
The city council had not<br />
imposed water restrictions,<br />
but were watching weather<br />
forecasts, stream flows,<br />
and daily water use “very<br />
closely.”<br />
“Even if we get scattered<br />
rain over coming days, it<br />
won’t do much to change<br />
the overall situation with<br />
the streams,’’ Beaumont<br />
said.<br />
The city council also<br />
needed to ensure it was not<br />
taking too much water from<br />
the streams, as doing so<br />
would have an impact on<br />
the plant, fish and insects<br />
that live in the waterways,<br />
as well as the long-term<br />
quality of the water.<br />

Redcliffs School’s steel<br />
construction award-winning<br />
THE STEEL construction<br />
of Redcliffs School has won<br />
an award.<br />
The school was opened<br />
by Prime Minister Jacinda<br />
Ardern in June, after being<br />
forced to move from its old<br />
site by the February 22,<br />
2011, earthquake.<br />
This week, it was singled<br />
out in the Excellence in<br />
Steel Awards.<br />
Christchurch firm VIP<br />
Steel won the Up To $1.5<br />
million category for the<br />
way it used steel to get<br />
around quake and coastal<br />
ground challenges.<br />
A Steel Construction<br />
NZ spokesperson said the<br />
judges were impressed<br />
with the construction of<br />
the school and its use of<br />
blended materials, and<br />
commended the team’s<br />
focus on buildability and<br />
collaboration.<br />
“The team has shown<br />
out-of-the-box thinking<br />
to produce a resilient<br />
building on a site with<br />
a history of earthquake<br />
damage.”<br />
The site sits in a flood<br />
plain and a coastal inundation<br />
zone, and is subject to<br />
lateral spread and liquefaction<br />
settlement.<br />
Almost 170 structural<br />
steel industry leaders and<br />
specialists gathered at<br />
Skyline, Queenstown, to<br />
celebrate the best of the<br />
best at the awards.<br />
VIP Steel also won a second<br />
award for The Spur in<br />
the Standalone Residential<br />
category.

ADVERTORIAL<br />
Customer feedback<br />
sparks A-Four-Dable idea<br />
at Four Square Redcliffs<br />
When Four Square Redcliffs<br />
opened its doors in June <strong>2020</strong>,<br />
operator Heath De Garnham<br />
promised the team would have<br />
their ears wide open to listen<br />
to their customers.<br />
It’s a promise the team are<br />
staying true to, says Heath<br />
“we’re a community store<br />
and a big part of being a part<br />
of a tight knit community is<br />
supporting each other, listening<br />
and responding to what our<br />
customers want and need.”<br />
One message the Four Square<br />
Redcliffs team have been<br />
hearing loud and clear is that<br />
providing excellent value for<br />
money, as well as convenience<br />
and choice in their community<br />
store is extremely important.<br />
The team put their heads<br />
together and have taken action,<br />
introducing ‘Local Deal’, specials<br />
that are personally selected by<br />
the Four Square Redcliffs team,<br />
plus a brand new idea called<br />
‘A-Four-Dable Everyday’.<br />
The A-Four-Dable concept<br />
came about as a result of<br />
listening to our customers says<br />
Heath, “they’ve been telling<br />
us they’d appreciate some<br />
certainty around the price of their<br />
everyday grocery items.”<br />
It was a challenge the Four<br />
Square Redcliffs team were keen<br />
to find a solution for and set<br />
about identifying everyday items<br />
that regularly feature in most<br />
Redcliffs resident’s weekly shop.<br />
With fruit and veg, bread, milk,<br />
cheese, yogurt, biscuits, frozen<br />
fruit, beer, wine and shampoo<br />
all on the A-Four-Dable list, Four<br />
Square Redcliffs customers<br />
can now look out for the yellow<br />
A-Four-Dable tickets and choose<br />
them in the confidence they’ll<br />
be able to get everything they<br />
need at a consistent everyday<br />
price, with the convenience of<br />
shopping and supporting local.<br />
With our combination of specials<br />
and our new A-Four-Dable<br />
everyday option, our customers<br />
can now have the best of both<br />
worlds” says Heath.<br />
“It’s fantastic to be able to<br />
bring new ideas to life at<br />
Four Square Redcliffs, at<br />
the moment everyone is<br />
watching the dollars,<br />
so looking out for the<br />
A-Four-Dable shelf<br />
tickets makes Four<br />
Square Redcliffs<br />
a really easy<br />
place to shop<br />
for the every-<br />
day things you want and need<br />
while supporting your community<br />
store.”<br />
So come on in, check out the<br />
Local Deals and new A-Four-<br />
Dable prices. We’re here for the<br />
Redcliffs community and we’d<br />
love your support by making<br />
Four Square Redcliffs your<br />
regular place to shop. It’s very<br />
A-Four-Dable!<br />

Surf club engages with community<br />
Tayors Mistake Surf Life<br />
Saving Club volunteer<br />
Dave Mills reports on<br />
what is happening at the<br />
club<br />
THE TAYLORS Mistake Surf<br />
Life Saving Club is in great<br />
shape. Our volunteer lifeguard<br />
talent and depth is strong. Our<br />
junior programme is bulging<br />
at the seams with enthusiasm<br />
and numbers, and our new<br />
clubrooms will be finished in<br />
December.<br />
The club is also very proud<br />
of its high-performance programme<br />
for those who choose<br />
to compete in addition to their<br />
volunteer lifeguard role.<br />
The club recognises that the<br />
world has changed, and as more<br />
of the wider community are<br />
likely to enjoy more of the local<br />
environment this summer, our<br />
volunteers are very ready to help<br />
the community enjoy the beach<br />
and stay safe.<br />
To try and reach out to the<br />
community, a small community<br />
engagement project has been<br />
developed and is now underway.<br />
We are using our social media<br />
sites (Facebook and Instagram)<br />
to introduce the community to<br />
some of our volunteers, and to<br />
allow our volunteers to tell our<br />
TALENT: Josh Ryan on Taylors Mistake beach creating a community engagement video<br />
for the surf lifesaving club which features Georgia (left) and Lucy Stroud. (Above right): The<br />
new clubrooms under construction.<br />
story to the community. We are<br />
fortunate to be helped with this<br />
project by Josh Ryan, a talented<br />
postgraduate marketing student<br />
from Canterbury University.<br />
Each week we will post short<br />
video clips fronted by our volunteers,<br />
as they seek to highlight in<br />
their own way the beauty of Taylors<br />
Mistake, what the beach and<br />
surrounds has to offer, and to<br />
highlight that the public should<br />
feel very confident approaching<br />
our friendly volunteer lifeguards<br />
to ensure they stay safe and enjoy<br />
their day at the beach.<br />
We even have a surprise in<br />
store with a video clip during the<br />
summer from one of our famous<br />
Taylors lifeguard TV stars!<br />
We are reaching out to the<br />
community to highlight our volunteers<br />
as real people, with real<br />
day jobs and diverse personalities.<br />
They are all passionate about<br />
the beach that they help keep<br />
safe. We are a small club, but we<br />
are hoping that as people engage<br />
with and share our videos on<br />
social media, more of the public<br />
will see the talent we have in our<br />
volunteers. We hope that the<br />
public will recognise just how<br />
approachable our volunteers are.<br />
We are delighted that the Sumner<br />
Ferrymead Foundation has<br />
supported this project. We see<br />
strong alignment with our values<br />
and the values that the foundation<br />
promotes.<br />
Stay close to our social media<br />
sites over the summer and check<br />
out the stories of some of our<br />
volunteers.<br />
Our volunteers will be<br />
patrolling the beach each<br />
weekend and on public holidays<br />
starting from Show weekend.<br />
Remember – swim between the<br />
flags.<br />
When we call, hundreds<br />
of Kiwi businesses answer.<br />
At Fire and Emergency, 80% of our people are volunteers, many running or working at businesses<br />
just like this. In an emergency, their businesses proudly allow them to rush out and help.<br />

Myriad groups help<br />
keep our community<br />

Gooding speaks to<br />
Life Education Trust<br />
Canterbury community<br />
engagement manager<br />
Andy Gray about why<br />
the trust has been an<br />
iconic fixture in schools<br />
for the past 30 years<br />
and why he’s involved<br />
Could you tell me a bit<br />
about what the Life Education<br />
Trust does, and how it came<br />
to be what it is today in<br />
Canterbury?<br />
The Life Education Trust<br />
started over 30 years ago, which<br />
started in Canterbury. There’s<br />
now 32 regional trusts across<br />
the country, and one national<br />
branch. The vision is to inspire<br />
tamariki and rangatahi to make<br />
positive choices and to give them<br />
the power to do that. The trust<br />
addresses challenges including<br />
obesity, substance use, mental<br />
health and well-being and<br />
bullying.<br />
We operate in three mobile<br />
classrooms in Canterbury,<br />
they’re like big container shells<br />
that have been turned into<br />

classrooms and are moved<br />
around different schools –<br />
whether it was as far as Omihi in<br />
North Canterbury, right down<br />
to Rakaia. Whether schools have<br />
35 students or 500 students, we<br />
end up making our way there no<br />
matter where they are.<br />
What issues is the trust<br />
currently facing in the wake of<br />
Covid-19?<br />
Quite a few in all fairness –<br />
when Covid-19 hit during the<br />
first lockdown, even though we<br />
were still continuing to support<br />
the teachers and tamariki during<br />
lockdown, we didn’t get any<br />
school fees come in, and the<br />
funders that we usually used<br />
were all closed down.<br />
It’s been tough, but we<br />
managed to get through it<br />
and we’re in a better position<br />
now. We reached out to a lot<br />
of people that have done quite<br />
well throughout Covid-19, like<br />
supermarkets, and to the Rata<br />
Foundation and Lottery Grants<br />
Board who have helped us out.<br />
With Covid-19 it’s a doubleedged<br />
sword. It’s great that<br />
we’re busier now and we’re<br />
looking to expand to a fourth<br />
classroom because of it. But the<br />
double-edged side of that sword<br />
is obviously with increased<br />
demand it means that more<br />
people are affected, there are<br />
higher anxiety levels.<br />
We’ve learned a lot about<br />
mental health from the<br />
earthquakes in the past 10 years<br />
and also the mosque attacks<br />
where kids have been affected.<br />
Things like a lack of employment<br />
that comes from it just filters<br />
through to the kids, so we expect<br />
to see increased demand over the<br />
next few months.<br />
The trust has been iconic in<br />
Canterbury schools for the past<br />
30 years. What do you attribute<br />
towards its success?<br />
Obviously, the most<br />
memorable thing about Life<br />
Education is Harold the Giraffe.<br />
But the reason why I think we’re<br />
so iconic is because we tend to<br />
react to the issues currently at<br />
hand.<br />

‘It’s the kids’ reactions which I find the most rewarding’<br />
•From page 11<br />
We don’t get any government<br />
or Ministry of Education funding,<br />
so we aren’t led by their<br />
agenda, and it’s why we’re the<br />
number one health education<br />
provider. We don’t want to be led<br />
by what they want, which is why<br />
we work with teachers to adapt<br />
[the lesson]. I think that’s what<br />
makes us so successful.<br />
Why did you decide to join<br />
the trust?<br />
I’ve got a wee eight-year-old<br />
boy and things are a little bit different<br />
now than back in my day;<br />
kids have got different challenges<br />
now, so I just wanted to make<br />
sure I was getting in touch with<br />
what was going on. Kids seem to<br />
be a lot more involved and more<br />
aware of what’s happening around<br />
them because of social media and<br />
access to the internet. That was<br />
my excuse to get involved and<br />
understand what’s happening in<br />
my own child’s head.<br />
What are the rewarding parts<br />
of your job?<br />
The kids – when Harold comes<br />
on board, the kids wander in and<br />
when they see him, they all get<br />
pretty excited to hear what he<br />
has to say. It’s the kids’ reactions<br />
which I find the most rewarding.<br />
Like most jobs, it’s not always<br />
fun and games. What can be<br />
challenging about your role?<br />
I think seeing the statistics<br />
that are pretty grim, like when I<br />
hear about the teen suicide rates<br />
or how many kids are stressed.<br />
About 35 per cent of kids are<br />
stressed at least once a week.<br />
It’s like, bloody hell, these kids<br />
are eight or nine-years-old, they<br />
shouldn’t be stressed, they should<br />
be watching Pokémon on TV or<br />
something.<br />
Tell me a bit about where life<br />
began for you – where did you<br />
grow up? How about family?<br />
I was born in Salford, UK.<br />
When I was about 13-years-old<br />
my folks decided to ship us all<br />
over, with my brothers and sister,<br />
and start life afresh over here. I<br />
ended up going to school down<br />
the road at Christchurch Boys’<br />
High School, and eventually at<br />
the University of Canterbury.<br />
After travelling overseas for a<br />
while, I came back and became<br />
the director at Specsavers (Papanui)<br />
after opening up a franchise<br />
here. After selling that I was<br />
lucky that I had a bit more free to<br />
pick and choose the jobs I wanted<br />
to do, and that’s when the Life<br />
Education Trust job came up.<br />
BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY<br />
ICON: The Life Education Trust has been visiting Canterbury<br />
schools for more than 30 years.<br />
My two brothers live in Sunshine<br />
Coast and Gold Coast in<br />
Australia. My sister is here in<br />
Christchurch so she’s not very<br />
far from me, and my parents<br />
are retired now and live in the<br />
Hurunui District.<br />
Do you remember much from<br />
life back in England?<br />
I remember quite a lot of it. It’s<br />
quite a rough spot where we were,<br />
a lot of cars were being nicked<br />
every night and there were a lot<br />
of fights, you could just watch it<br />
from your window - that’s what it<br />
was all to me.<br />
One of my favourite parts<br />
about my home town is the<br />
football, everyone enjoyed a bit<br />
of soccer. You could play it in<br />
the streets, you’d just jump over<br />
the back fence after school and<br />
go play with your friends in the<br />
streets.<br />
Aside from your work, what<br />
do you like to do in your spare<br />
time?<br />
I enjoy any sport, especially<br />
soccer being English and all.<br />
I’ve always the idea of making<br />
something myself so I make short<br />
films on the side.<br />
I make any type of short film,<br />
it’s just a matter of writing a<br />
script and trying to gain funding<br />
to do it.<br />
I’ve always loved movies, the<br />
idea for me growing up was to<br />
become either a football player, a<br />
fireman or a moviemaker.<br />
Tanya Jenkins is the manager of the Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust, a non-profit organisation formed in 2002 to<br />
protect one of New Zealand’s most important coastal wetlands. This is her last Birds of the Estuary column. A new column<br />
will start next week – Estuary Matters.<br />
Greenfinch is a sparrow lookalike<br />
THE GREENFINCH was introduced<br />
from England when some 100 birds<br />
were released here between <strong>18</strong>62 and<br />
<strong>18</strong>68.<br />
Like many other introduced birds,<br />
they rather enjoyed our environment<br />
and settled here nicely with the result<br />
that they are now commonly found<br />
throughout New Zealand.<br />
This greenfinch is a small bird and<br />
is actually often confused for a house<br />
sparrow due to its size and its plain<br />
brownish colourings. But then spring<br />
arrives and the male produces its<br />
stunning green and yellow breeding<br />
plumage and certainly can no longer<br />
be called plain.<br />
Nests are being built in early spring<br />
when four to six eggs are produced, and<br />
this can be repeated twice during the<br />
nesting season. The female incubates<br />
the eggs alone but is assisted by the<br />
male who will bring her food to the<br />
nest to save her from having to leave the<br />
eggs alone. Feeding the chicks is done<br />
by both the parent birds.<br />
They are not fussy eaters and they<br />
will eat most tree seeds, but the seeds<br />
of the pine trees do tend to be their<br />
favourite and that is why you may<br />
have seen the greenfinches along the<br />
South Brighton side of the estuary<br />
more often than the hillside.<br />
Apart from seeds though<br />
they will also at caterpillars, aphids,<br />
moths and other small bugs. Fill up<br />
your bird feeders, the greenfinch is<br />
easily attracted by “wild bird seed”<br />
available from supermarkets.<br />

If there is less than about a cup<br />
of liquid in the pot, add a little<br />
more water. Strain into a small<br />
pot. If there is a lot of oil on the<br />
surface, skim some off, but leave<br />
behind a few spoonfuls to enrich<br />
the sauce.<br />
Use a sharp knife to peel the<br />
oranges, including all the pith,<br />
then cut out the segments one by<br />
one, leaving the membranes and<br />
core behind. Use your hand to<br />
squeeze the core over the pot of<br />
sauce to extract any remaining<br />
orange juice.<br />
Bring the sauce to the boil,<br />
whisk to emulsify the oil, then<br />
taste and correct the seasoning.<br />

Contacts<br />
by Mark Watson<br />
The unforgettable new book from award-winning writer<br />
and comedian Mark Watson. One man’s last journey. One<br />
hundred and fifty-eight chances to save his life. James<br />
Chiltern boards the 23:50 sleeper train from London to<br />
Edinburgh with two pork pies, six beers and a packet of<br />
chocolate digestives. At 23:55 he sends a message to all<br />
158 people in his contacts, telling them that he plans to end<br />
his life in the morning. He then switches his phone to flight<br />
mode. He’s said goodbye. To him, it’s the end of his story –<br />
and time to crack open the biscuits. But across the world, 158<br />
phones are lighting up with a notification. Phones belonging to his mum.<br />
His sister. His ex-best friend. The woman who broke his heart. People he’s<br />
lost touch with. People he barely knows. And for them, the message is only<br />
the beginning of the journey. Funny and wise, tender and deeply moving,<br />
Contacts is a beautiful story about the weight of loneliness, the importance<br />
of kindness – and how it’s never too late to reach out<br />
Betrayals<br />
by Bridget Collins<br />
From the Number 1 bestselling author of THE BINDING. If everything<br />
in your life was based on a lie Would you risk it all to tell the truth? At<br />
Montverre, an exclusive academy tucked away in the mountains, the<br />
best and brightest are trained for excellence in the grand jeu: an arcane<br />
and mysterious contest. Léo Martin was once a student there, but lost<br />
his passion for the grand jeu following a violent tragedy. Now he returns<br />
in disgrace, exiled to his old place of learning with his political career in<br />
tatters. Montverre has changed since he studied there, even allowing a<br />
woman, Claire Dryden, to serve in the grand jeu’s highest office of Magister<br />
Ludi. When Léo first sees Claire he senses an odd connection with her,<br />
though he’s sure they have never met before. Both Léo and Claire have<br />
built their lives on lies. And as the legendary Midsummer Game, the climax<br />
of the year, draws closer, secrets are whispering in the walls…<br />

Directions<br />
Select about 12 of the best berries<br />
for the top. Put the rest in a<br />
saucepan with 3 tablespoons of<br />
sugar and the water.<br />
Bring to a gentle simmer, then<br />
cook for about 2min. Place the<br />
cut sponge pieces in the bottom<br />
of a clear glass bowl. Add the<br />
Grand Marnier and allow it to<br />
soak in. Ladle in the strawberries<br />
and juice.<br />
To make the custard, beat the<br />
egg yolks and sugar until light and<br />
thick. Heat the milk and vanilla<br />
bean in a heavy-based saucepan<br />
until almost boiling. Tip the hot<br />
milk onto the egg mixture in a<br />
bowl and stir well to combine.<br />
Rinse the pan that the milk<br />
was heated in, return it to the<br />
heat and strain the egg, sugar and<br />
milk mixture into it. Carefully<br />
reheat the custard, stirring constantly<br />
until the mixture thickens<br />
enough to coat the spoon.<br />
Do not let this boil, as the mixture<br />
will curdle. If the mixture<br />
starts to curdle around the edges,<br />
immediately remove from the<br />
heat and whisk vigorously until<br />
smooth.<br />
Once the custard is cool,<br />
tip it over the strawberries.<br />
Finally, lightly whip the cream<br />
then spread it over the custard.<br />
Decorate with reserved halved<br />
strawberries. Chill before serving.<br />

vulnerable populations – Māori;<br />
Pasifika; young people not in<br />

And what are we doing?<br />
We are supporting the journey<br />

Peri Drysdale, chief executive<br />
of Untouched World, told us that<br />
while technical support was helpful,<br />
“it’s been really nice to know<br />
people are out there looking after<br />
the business community”.<br />
“The support we received will<br />
make the climb out of this much<br />
more effective and has set us up<br />
for growth,” Drysdale said.<br />
I’ve also been working personally<br />

They felt the pinch from January<br />
<strong>2020</strong> and were forced to close<br />
their Arts Centre store. They were<br />
worried keeping the store open<br />
would negatively impact their<br />
stores on New Regent St and in<br />
Cashel Mall, the latter of which<br />
opened just eight weeks before<br />
the March lockdown.<br />
They reached out for support<br />
We are also developing a<br />
Regional Workforce Plan that<br />
identifies the skills available and<br />
needed now and in the future.<br />
This plan will inform central<br />
government investment and<br />
policy in education, immigration<br />
and community interventions;<br />
and will enable us to better<br />
understand what skills<br />
Christchurch’s future economy<br />
will require. That in turn will<br />
allow us to work with education<br />

Sound of thunder from V8 SUV<br />
THERE’S LITTLE doubt that<br />
the way we view automobiles is<br />
changing with a global demand<br />
for fuel efficiency and fewer<br />
emissions.<br />
Most manufacturers are<br />
looking at ways to address those<br />
issues, and that’s showing with<br />
an ever-increasing number of<br />
hybrids and electric vehicles<br />
reaching our market.<br />
I’m not rebelling against the<br />
electric revolution, but the reality<br />
is I’ll find it hard to give up my<br />
desire for internal combustion<br />
engines, and the bigger and<br />
more powerful they are, the<br />
better.<br />
Mercedes-Benz has already<br />
introduced an electric vehicle<br />
down under and the company<br />
is indicating more will arrive en<br />
masse.<br />
Where that leaves its big cars,<br />
and the big engines, I don’t know,<br />
but in the interim I can be very<br />
grateful that I’ve sampled some<br />
of the best engines to come out of<br />
Germany, as well as some of the<br />
most powerful.<br />
My latest foray into the highperformance<br />
driveline was in<br />
the AMG GLC 63S sport utility<br />
vehicle, a mid-size wagon that<br />
also comes in coupe-like form,<br />
both sharing the 4-litre, twinturbocharged<br />
V8.<br />
It’s a monster in terms of power<br />
outputs – 375kW and 700Nm –<br />
the latter available all of the way<br />
from 1750rpm to 4500rpm and,<br />
if you take into account peak<br />
power is on tap all of the way<br />
to 6250rpm, it’s no wonder I’m<br />
hooked.<br />
The GLC is a super-quick,<br />
high top speed wagon, and you’d<br />
expect nothing less from the<br />
performance arm of Mercedes-<br />
Benz. AMG claims a 3.8sec<br />
standstill to 100km/h acceleration<br />
time along with a governed<br />
250km/h top end.<br />
These figures are fantastic,<br />
making the GLC one of the<br />
quickest cars I’ve driven, and it<br />
does so in a way that you know<br />
you are travelling fast; even in<br />
standard mode the engine is<br />
quite audible, it bellows out of<br />
the exhaust and if you want extra<br />
sound a console-mounted pushbutton<br />
will increase the decibels.<br />
The 63S fairly thunders under<br />
acceleration.<br />
This engine is utilised in a wide<br />
FUNCTIONAL: A cavernous load area lies under the tailgate<br />
of the GLC 63S.<br />
MERCEDES-BENZ GLC AMG 63S: Speed and acceleration which is uncharacteristic for a<br />
sport utility vehicle.<br />
range of Mercedes-Benz product,<br />
and in some cases it drives<br />
through to the rear wheels<br />
only, delivering a true sports<br />
car feel, but the GLC has drive<br />
to all four wheels and that adds<br />
an element of reassurance. As a<br />
driver, you know that delivering<br />
that power to the ground is going<br />
to be channelled in a fashion<br />
that won’t catch you out with<br />
oversteer.<br />
If you also take into account<br />
the huge 21in wheels with<br />
massive tyres then grip levels<br />
are high. Even so, on my highcountry<br />
evaluation drive there<br />
were a couple of instances<br />
when I felt traction control<br />
complaining, such as powering<br />
out of a corner.<br />
Drive is channelled through<br />
a nine-speed automatic<br />
transmission, and there are<br />
varying drive modes that the<br />
driver can select or individualise<br />
to suit his/her driving style.<br />
Even in standard mode the<br />
engine management protocols<br />
are structured so that the driver<br />
can enjoy the V8 experience at<br />
all times; it rumbles and burbles<br />
away, tantalising with its response<br />
and urgency.<br />
• Price – Mercedes-Benz<br />
AMG GLC 63S, $<strong>18</strong>4,400<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4744mm; width,<br />
2090mm; height,<br />
1577mm<br />
• Configuration – V8,<br />
four-wheel-drive, 3982cc,<br />
375kW, 700Nm, ninespeed<br />
automatic<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 3.8sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 12.2l/100km<br />
Not that it is a handful in lowspeed<br />
situations, the 63S<br />
has perfect inner-city manners,<br />
the combination of brawn<br />
and beauty is an engineering<br />
masterpiece.<br />
The GLC is a true SUV, it<br />
has a cavernous rear load area,<br />
and for five adults there is<br />
comfort in abundance. It is<br />
also built in the traditional<br />
Mercedes-Benz style that is high<br />
in luxury and specification,<br />
sharing the look and feel with a<br />
layout that is systematic across<br />
most of the Mercedes-Benz<br />
range.<br />
Column space doesn’t allow<br />
comprehensive detailing of the<br />
features and fitment. However,<br />
it’s fair to say the GLC wants for<br />
little and the interior is state-ofthe-art<br />
with all of the electronic<br />
goodies you’d want in a car<br />
that sits towards $200k. Yes, if<br />
you add in a lot of the options<br />
from Mercedes-Benz’s extensive<br />
catalogue of extras, the base price<br />
tag of $<strong>18</strong>4,400 could be well<br />
stretched.<br />
However, for my money the<br />
pleasure to be had from the<br />
fabulous bi-turbo engine would<br />
be well worth the outlay. And<br />
don’t go believing that it is going<br />
to overly create havoc with the<br />
environment, as, for all of its<br />
brute force, the GLC 63S has<br />
respectable fuel usage figures.<br />
AMG claims a 12.2-litre per<br />
100km combined cycle average,<br />
which sits well with the trip<br />
computer’s 12.8l/100km figure<br />
during my time in the car.<br />
I know for certain the drive<br />
in the GLC 63S won’t be my<br />
last in a V8, but I do know such<br />
opportunities will become fewer<br />
and further between.<br />
For those who feel like me, now<br />
is the time to buy before they face<br />
extinction.
