STUDENTS FROM the<br />

<strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News area last<br />

weekend learnt skills needed to<br />

simulate those of Akaroa-born<br />

explorer Frank Worsley.<br />

The Antarctic Heritage<br />

Trust’s inaugural Worsley<br />

Weekend at Akaroa and<br />

Wainui was run as part of its<br />

inspiring explorers youth programme,<br />

with 20 students from<br />

across Governors <strong>Bay</strong>, Lyttelton,<br />

Akaroa and other parts of<br />

Canterbury taking part.<br />

The event saw pupils follow<br />

in the footsteps of Sir Ernest<br />

Shackleton, Frank Worsley<br />

and Tom Crean, retracing their<br />

epic traverse of remote South<br />

Georgia Island. •Turn to page 3<br />

Peninsula’s<br />

tsunami<br />

evacuation<br />

zones<br />

updated<br />

THE TSUNAMI evacuation<br />

zones on Banks Peninsula have<br />

been updated based on new<br />

scientific research.<br />

New computer modelling has<br />

provided the city council with the<br />

updated information about areas<br />

that could flood if a tsunami hit<br />

the Canterbury coastline.<br />

“The latest modelling shows us<br />

that in most areas, flooding from<br />

a tsunami may extend further<br />

inland than allowed for under<br />

the previous tsunami evacuation<br />

zones,” Rob Orchard, city<br />

council’s head of civil defence<br />

emergency management said.<br />

“If you live or own property<br />

on Banks Peninsula, I would<br />

encourage you to go onto our<br />

website and check whether your<br />

property has been affected by<br />

the tsunami evacuation zone<br />

changes.”<br />

The website has a search function<br />

that allows you to enter a<br />

property’s address to see which<br />

tsunami evacuation zone it is in.<br />

“If you are in a tsunami<br />

evacuation zone, it is important<br />

that you have an evacuation plan<br />

for your household,” Orchard<br />

said.<br />

Leash dogs on the beach<br />

DOG OWNERS are being<br />

reminded that on summer days<br />

parts of popular swimming<br />

beaches are off-limits to<br />

unleashed dogs.<br />

“We know many people enjoy<br />

playing with their dogs at the<br />

beach and they can still do that,<br />

but they need to steer clear of<br />

the main swimming areas or go<br />

early in the morning or in the<br />

evening,’’ city council animal<br />

services manager Mark Vincent<br />

said.<br />

“Between 9am and 7pm unleashed<br />

dogs are banned from<br />

specified areas of our swimming<br />

beaches because people who<br />

have come to the beach to have<br />

a splash in the sea or to make<br />

sandcastles with their kids<br />

don’t want lots of dog running<br />

around.<br />

“Although dogs are prohibited<br />

at these beaches between 9am<br />

and 7pm, dog owners can walk<br />

their dogs through these beaches<br />

as long as they are only passing<br />

through and they keep their dog<br />

on a short leash,’’ he said.<br />

The beaches where the daytime<br />

ban applies include the<br />

beach at Cass <strong>Bay</strong>, Corsair <strong>Bay</strong>,<br />

Sandy <strong>Bay</strong>, Paradise <strong>Bay</strong>, Hays<br />

<strong>Bay</strong>, Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong>, Purau,<br />

Akaroa, French Farm, Le Bons<br />

<strong>Bay</strong>, Little Akaloa, Okains <strong>Bay</strong>,<br />

Port Levy and Tikao <strong>Bay</strong>.<br />

At Sumner beach dogs are<br />

prohibited for a distance of<br />

100m north of the Sumner<br />

Surf Lifesaving Club’s pavilion<br />

through to Cave Rock.<br />

At Taylor’s Mistake beach dogs<br />

are prohibited for a distance of<br />

50m either side of the surf lifesaving<br />

club pavilion.<br />

At Spencer Park, Waimairi,<br />

North and South New Brighton<br />

beaches dogs are prohibited for<br />

a distance of 100m either side<br />

of the surf lifesaving clubs’ pavilions.<br />

At New Brighton beach dogs<br />

are prohibited for a distance of a<br />

100m in a northerly direction of<br />

RESPONSIBLE:<br />

Dogs are<br />

off-limits on<br />

parts of some<br />

beaches this<br />

summer<br />

unless they are<br />

on a lead.<br />

the surf lifesaving club’s pavilion<br />

to a point 100m south of the pier.<br />

Said Vincent: “We have a big<br />

coastline so there is still many<br />

kilometres of beach where dog<br />

owners can have fun with their<br />

pets over the summer. Just<br />

remember you need to keep your<br />

dog under effective control and<br />

clean up after them if needed.’’<br />

Tracing footsteps<br />

of Frank Worsley<br />

• From page 1<br />

Worsley captained the ship Endurance<br />

during Shackleton’s Imperial<br />

Trans-Antarctic Expedition.<br />

He is best known for navigating<br />

the expedition party to safety after<br />

the ship was crushed by ice floes.<br />

What followed was an epic journey<br />

across South Georgia Island.<br />

The 11 to 13-year-old students<br />

did a range of activities, including<br />

building and paddling a raft,<br />

learning about navigation and orienteering,<br />

climbing, exploring the<br />

bush and visiting the commemorative<br />

bronze bust of Worsley.<br />

Said Sasha Harwood from Governor’s<br />

<strong>Bay</strong> School: “My favourite<br />

activity was orienteering. That<br />

was really fun. I’m not great with<br />

heights, so I found the high ropes<br />

course quite hard.<br />

“I love exploring. I love that feeling<br />

where you set out and its quite<br />

cold, and you walk up a mountain<br />

and the clouds just break open<br />

and you can see everything and<br />

look down on where your campsite<br />

was. It’s like ‘wow, I’ve come<br />

all that way,” she said.<br />

Nico Blundell from Lyttleton<br />

Primary School said it is clear<br />

what an icon Worsley was.<br />

“His navigating skills were<br />

incredible, and because he’s from<br />

Akaroa, this all adds up to Frank<br />

being a local hero,” he said.<br />

METRO<br />

Look out for<br />

Metro changes<br />

Next week, Metro passengers will see<br />

some timetable changes and different buses<br />

on some routes.<br />

New public transport contracts coming<br />

into effect on Sunday 29 <strong>November</strong> bring<br />

with them a host of benefits. Passengers in<br />

the western and eastern suburbs will enjoy<br />

increased frequency on Route 3 (previously<br />

the Purple Line), while new electric and low<br />

emission vehicles are gradually coming into<br />

service across the network in the coming<br />

months.<br />

Buses may look different<br />

The change in contracts sees many<br />

services change to a different operator. The<br />

consequence for passengers is that different<br />

buses will be used on many routes from<br />

Sunday 29 <strong>November</strong>.<br />

If you are used to seeing a Red Bus<br />

branded vehicle on your route, it may now<br />

be a Go Bus branded vehicle instead, and<br />

vice versa. Your bus might also be in the new<br />

teal livery as it continues to roll out across<br />

the network.<br />

Checking the destination screen on the<br />

bus is the best way to confirm it’s your<br />

service.<br />

Timetables changes from Sunday<br />

Environment Canterbury senior manager<br />

public transport Stewart Gibbon says this<br />

is the second of three stages of timetable<br />

changes.<br />

“We’ve phased the changes to reduce the<br />

impact on our customers,” says Gibbon.<br />

“The majority of changes being made this<br />

month are necessary to implement the new<br />

operator contracts and to ensure compliance<br />

with changes to the Employment Relations<br />

Act.”<br />

Gibbon advises passengers to check now if<br />

their timetable or operator is changing on 29<br />

<strong>November</strong>, and plan ahead.<br />

“Our Journey Planner tool allows you to<br />

forward plan – you can plan your trip for 29<br />

<strong>November</strong> onwards to see if the timetable<br />

changes impact your usual journey,” he says.<br />

A full list of all changes, including the<br />

operator for each service and the timetable<br />

from 29 <strong>November</strong> onwards, is available at<br />

metro.co.nz<br />

Look for your evacuation zones and<br />

be ready to head to high ground<br />

•From page 1<br />

“You need to think about<br />

the route you would take<br />

to evacuate and where you<br />

would go.”<br />

On most of Banks Peninsula,<br />

there are two tsunami<br />

evacuation zones – a red<br />

zone and an orange zone.<br />

In Birdlings Flat there are<br />

three – red, orange and<br />

yellow.<br />

The red tsunami evacuation<br />

zone is most likely to<br />

be affected by a tsunami. It<br />

includes estuaries, rivers,<br />

beaches and harbours,<br />

where a tsunami of any<br />

size could cause strong<br />

currents and surges in the<br />

water.<br />

The orange tsunami<br />

evacuation zone covers<br />

areas on land that could<br />

be flooded in the event of a<br />

large tsunami.<br />

“If you’re in the red or<br />

orange zones and feel a<br />

rolling motion earthquake<br />

for longer than a minute or<br />

a strong earthquake that<br />

makes it hard to stand up,<br />

you need to leave the area.<br />

“When the shaking<br />

stops, head immediately<br />

to the nearest high ground<br />

or as far inland as you can,<br />

out of the red and orange<br />

Check the evacuation zones map at ccc.govt.<br />

nz/services/civil-defence/hazards/tsunamievacuation-zones-and-routes.<br />

zones,” Orchard said.<br />

The yellow tsunami evacuation<br />

zone is least likely<br />

to be affected by a tsunami,<br />

but could be flooded or<br />

isolated in a very large<br />

tsunami.<br />

“If you are in the yellow<br />

zone, you only need to<br />

leave the area if you receive<br />

an official warning from<br />

Civil Defence emergency<br />

management.<br />

“These warnings will be<br />

given through an emergency<br />

mobile alert to your<br />

phone, on radio, television<br />

and social media,” Orchard<br />

said.<br />

Drop-in sessions where<br />

you can talk to council<br />

staff about the new evacuation<br />

zones will be held on:<br />

• Sunday, <strong>November</strong> 29,<br />

Life with Highland dancing no short fling<br />

Colleen Cole started<br />

Highland dancing as<br />

a five-year-old and<br />

76 years later she<br />

is still immersed in<br />

a quintessentially<br />

Scottish passion in<br />

New Zealand’s ‘English’<br />

city. The Lyttelton<br />

woman reflects on a<br />

life-long interest with<br />

Chris Barclay<br />

When did you take up<br />

Highland dancing, and why?<br />

I started when I was five in<br />

Invercargill. My parents thought<br />

I had a bit of a cough, so they<br />

thought Highland dancing<br />

would do me good. So here I am<br />

76 years later. I faintly remember<br />

the first teacher I went to had a<br />

lot of kids so my parents took me<br />

away to a high school girl, her<br />

name was Betty Thompson. She<br />

just gave me one-on-one lessons.<br />

When we came to Christchurch<br />

I went to Betty Carnachan when<br />

I was eight-ish. She used to teach<br />

Highland, ballet and tap …<br />

modern dance.<br />

You finished up Highland<br />

dancing in a competitive sense<br />

when you were 18, an age where<br />

many are lost to the discipline.<br />

Yet you persevered. What is the<br />

enduring appeal?<br />

DEDICATED: Colleen Cole has been involved in the Scottish tradition of Highland dancing<br />

for 76 years. (Right): Dressed in her attire aged 8.<br />

PHOTO (left): GEOFF SLOAN<br />

You do make a lot of good<br />

friends, though by the time you<br />

reach my age (81), you’ve lost a<br />

few of them. When I finished<br />

dancing I was already a teacher<br />

and a judge. I’ve always enjoyed<br />

teaching the kids. A lot of<br />

people come up to me and say:<br />

‘I remember you teaching at the<br />

Cale (Canterbury Caledonian<br />

Society) when I used to come<br />

along and now I’ve got my<br />

grandchildren here.’<br />

Your parents got you involved<br />

to benefit your health, but did<br />

you ever suffer any injuries when<br />

doing, say, the Sword Dance?<br />

I never had any, but they seem<br />

to have a lot of injuries these<br />

days. They seem to pull muscles<br />

and pull tendons and goodness<br />

knows what. Maybe it’s because<br />

of some of the flooring they<br />

dance on. We had tongue and<br />

groove all the time when we were<br />

kids. It (discomfort) was only an<br />

issue for me when I got older and<br />

I couldn’t turn my knees out so<br />

far because of my hips.<br />

The Scots are known for their<br />

fiscal restraint. Is it expensive<br />

to get kitted out in a kilt?<br />

Some get their kilts made<br />

locally, some of them get them<br />

from Canada. You can spend a<br />

lot of money on kilts, $500 off<br />

the top of my head for a new one.<br />

When I was a kid we wore the<br />

plaid, the jacket. We were really<br />

weighed down with brooches<br />

and things. Nowadays up to the<br />

age of 14 they can wear a nice<br />

little waistcoat and a lighter<br />

weight kilt.<br />

Does the dancer decide<br />

what tartan they wear, or is it<br />

specified?<br />

Do they ever. We only had the<br />

Royal Stewart which was all red.<br />

Then the dress tartans came in<br />

and became popular. There’s a<br />

rule on how it should be worn,<br />

there’s no rule regarding the<br />

actual tartan they should wear.<br />

Is Highland dancing<br />

primarily confined to people of<br />

Scottish heritage?<br />

My heritage is actually Irish.<br />

My maiden name was Fergus.<br />

‘I’m always there to be called upon if needed’<br />

• From page 5<br />

How popular is Highland<br />

dancing in New Zealand’s<br />

‘English city, surely it’s a<br />

bigger deal in Dunedin, the<br />

‘Edinburgh of the South?’<br />

We have about 20 teachers in<br />

Christchurch. Canterbury-West<br />

Coast as we call it is the largest<br />

centre for dancers and pipers in<br />

New Zealand. The Caledonian<br />

Society and the Scottish Society<br />

of New Zealand contribute to<br />

the large numbers. We have<br />

winter lessons there on Saturday<br />

and that brings the children in.<br />

Well, we try to bring the children<br />

in. There’s a lot of uphill work<br />

getting new kids to start. You’ve<br />

got to have the parents wanting<br />

to do it.<br />

Highland dancing was<br />

originally a male bastion, but<br />

now it’s associated more with<br />

females isn’t it? How do you get<br />

more laddies involved?<br />

Highland dancing was for men<br />

in the beginning, not the women,<br />

way, way back. Quite often boys<br />

come along because their sisters<br />

are learning and then the boys get<br />

a bit of a grip on it and away they<br />

go. But they want to play rugby as<br />

well, or football. We’ve got some<br />

very strong male dancers in New<br />

Zealand, but not many. I could<br />

probably count them on two<br />

hands, but they carry on dancing<br />

right into their 20s.<br />

SKILLS: Young Highland dancers go through their routine<br />

at the Hororata Highland Games, an event that has<br />

boosted the profile of the pursuit.<br />

You have two boys, were they<br />

encouraged to give it a go?<br />

Jason had lovely feet (for ballet).<br />

The teacher I took him to, she<br />

had a son and he’d come to the<br />

class too. As soon as that boy<br />

stopped that was it for Jason.<br />

He started to learn the bagpipes<br />

but I think his friends told him<br />

it wasn’t the thing to do and<br />

he gave it up. I never pushed<br />

(eldest boy) Gregory. Wendy,<br />

my daughter, learnt Highland<br />

dancing. When she got to about<br />

14 her friends said to her: ‘It’s not<br />

the thing to do Wendy.’<br />

Which is the hardest dance to<br />

learn?<br />

first dance they learn and there’s<br />

a lot of pressure on their little<br />

legs. To turn your knees out and<br />

understand the time count and<br />

everything.<br />

At what age can you start<br />

Highland dancing?<br />

About five. Some children start<br />

younger but you’ve got to be able<br />

to count to 16. The Highland fling<br />

puts a lot of pressure on one leg at<br />

a time. There’s four counts on one<br />

leg and then four counts on the<br />

other. That’s quite a lot of springing<br />

on one leg for a little kid.<br />

Talk up the selling points of<br />

Highland dancing?<br />

It’s good for posture, they<br />

carry themselves well. I also find<br />

they’re very respectful. I think it’s<br />

the discipline of Highland dancing.<br />

They also need determination<br />

to achieve what’s required.<br />

Where and when are the<br />

major Highland Games in New<br />

Zealand?<br />

There’s Waipu on January<br />

1, then there’s Turakina<br />

(Wellington) at the end of<br />

January. Hastings is at Easter<br />

and then there’s Hororata<br />

(<strong>November</strong>). Hororata would<br />

probably be one of the biggest in<br />

the southern hemisphere.<br />

You had an eye operation<br />

recently but were you still<br />

able to take in the Hororata<br />

Highland Games weren’t you?<br />

I helped organise the Highland<br />

dancing. We had 93 dancers out<br />

there (on <strong>November</strong> 7). At the<br />

games most of our dance pipers<br />

were involved in pipe bands they<br />

couldn’t commit to playing for<br />

the Highland dancing so we had<br />

to use iPod music.<br />

Have the now decade-old<br />

Hororata Highland Games been<br />

beneficial in terms of dancing’s<br />

profile?<br />

It’s good exposure to the<br />

general public. A lot of people<br />

bring their little kids along, they<br />

watch the dancing for quite<br />

a while and think: ‘I wonder<br />

where you have to go to learn<br />

that?’. You’ve only got to go on<br />

the young ones can’t come in to<br />

teach. You’ve got to make room<br />

for young ones. I’m always there<br />

to be called upon if needed.<br />

How do you see the future<br />

of Highland dancing in New<br />

Zealand?<br />

I think it’s positive but we have<br />

to keep getting it out there in the<br />

public eye. You’ve got to keep<br />

promoting it otherwise they’ll go<br />

and do something else.<br />

Your service to Highland<br />

dancing has been recognised in<br />

recent years hasn’t it?<br />

I was made a Member of the<br />

New Zealand Order of Merit in<br />

2008 for services to Scottish stuff.<br />

They called it the Scottish arts.<br />

In June I was made a life member<br />

of the Highland dancing section<br />

of the Caledonian Society (www.<br />

canterburycaledonian.org.nz). I<br />

do appreciate the recognition.<br />

Does a love of the pipes and<br />

drums go hand in hand with<br />

Highland dancing?<br />

I do like pipe band music. I do<br />

a programme, I’ve been doing<br />

it for 15 years, on Plains FM<br />

96.9. It’s a Scottish session. I go<br />

in there and pre-record it about<br />

once a month.<br />

Property management experts back home in Sumner<br />

The Ray White brand of property management<br />

has been known and trusted<br />

in Sumner and surrounding areas since<br />

they opened their first local office at 10B<br />

Wakefield Street in 2005.<br />

Following the Canterbury earthquakes<br />

of 2010 and 2011 the team were forced to<br />

move from their premises, initially relocating<br />

to an office in Opawa, and later into<br />

their office at Ferrymead, where they were<br />

situated until last month.<br />

Now, under their new brand name of<br />

Ray White Morris & Co Property Management,<br />

their services are once again based<br />

in Sumner – this time in Marriner Street.<br />

“We had the opportunity to come<br />

home to Sumner, which has given us the<br />

chance to reconnect with a lot of our previous<br />

clients,” says property manager Ray<br />

Hastie, who has been with the company<br />

since 2005.<br />

“It’s so convenient too, with most of our<br />

clients’ properties just a few minutes’ drive<br />

away,” he says.<br />

Selecting the right tenants for the right<br />

property is a key aspect of property management,<br />

and property owners can have<br />

confidence that the Ray White Morris & Co<br />

team will find them the best tenants using<br />

their thorough systems and processes,<br />

and good old-fashioned local knowledge<br />

and expertise.<br />

Working alongside Ray as his property<br />

management assistant in the Marriner St<br />

office is Amber Hill, who has been part of<br />

the team for over four years.<br />

Not only has Ray provided his experience<br />

and expertise in the area of<br />

property management, he also helped<br />

many property owners deal with complex<br />

issues that arose during the difficult<br />

Katrina Green, left, Ray Hastie and Amber Hill of Ray White Morris & Co are pleased to offer<br />

their property management expertise in Sumner again<br />

post-earthquake times.<br />

Morris & Co property management operations<br />

manager Katrina Green is very proud<br />

of her award-winning team and cites their<br />

philosophy on going the extra mile for their<br />

clients as what makes them stand out.<br />

“Property management is not just about<br />

property, it’s actually more about people,”<br />

she says. “We recognise that our clients are<br />

individuals and all have different needs,<br />

and we work closely alongside them to<br />

ensure their expectations are not only met<br />

but exceeded.”<br />

The new legislation covering rental<br />

properties is another area where the team<br />

is providing valuable help and advice for<br />

property owners. While the number of<br />

requirements owners of rental properties<br />

need to meet may seem daunting, if you<br />

do it right the first time, they say, there’s<br />

nothing to be scared of.<br />

The team highlights that property<br />

owners may have been misled by some of<br />

the information that has been circulated,<br />

causing them unnecessary concern.<br />

“It is important that landlords don’t be<br />

scare-mongered by gossip and hearsay, but<br />

instead find out the facts,” says Katrina.<br />

“While there is no doubt that the<br />

incoming legislation is enormous, when<br />

you understand it, it is not as daunting as<br />

you first may think, the key really is to seek<br />

advice from the experts.”<br />

To help landlords get all the information<br />

they need on the new legislation, including<br />

the Healthy Homes Standards, as well as<br />

the Residential Tenancies Act 2019 Amendments,<br />

throughout the month of <strong>November</strong><br />

Ray White has been running a free<br />

weekly online Landlord Academy series.<br />

Anyone that has missed the series can call<br />

the Ray White Morris & Co Property Management<br />

office on 331 6755 and they will<br />

send you a link to watch the recordings.<br />

Ray White Morris & Co is located at 19/42<br />

Marriner Street, Sumner. They welcome enquiries<br />

from anyone looking for professional<br />

property management of their rental properties,<br />

so give them a call to make a time for<br />

a chat – they would love to help out.<br />

Sick of late night tenant phone calls and being on call 24/7?<br />

Tenants not paying their rent on time?<br />

Can’t find a tenant for you vacant property?<br />

To Have & To Hold, <strong>November</strong> 28 - December 15 at Little River Gallery.<br />

A shorter than most exhibition in order to allow for early pick up for Christmas.<br />

Contributors are Christchurch women Lorelei Jenner and Jenny Wilson and local<br />

Jane Downes. Jasmine Keir’s studio is in Keri Keri and Debra Powell is from the<br />

rural Waikato hamlet of Te Pahu.<br />

Lorelei Jenner paintings are somewhere between abstract and landscape. The<br />

images can be both familiar and interpretive, while at the same time mysterious,<br />

atmospheric and other worldly.<br />

Debra Powell’s alias in the pottery studio is ‘Little Betty’, her ceramic work has<br />

strong narrative themes, exploring relationships between people and nature,<br />

playing with convention and infusing the result with a gentle humour.<br />

Oxidised copper artist Jasmine Keir endeavours to create and understand the<br />

pure alchemy of the colours achievable using a vast variety of natural ingredients<br />

to react and colour her copper panels.<br />

Jenny Wilson has recreated a series of white porcelain moths these light<br />

mysterious creatures are pinned in reference to museum specimens; others rest<br />

on circles – an ancient Chinese symbol of the cycles of life, and of the cosmos.<br />

Jane Downes’ delicate themes are fabricated in steel. “A joyful look at the<br />

symbiotic relationship between bees and flowers and an observation of nature’s<br />

sacred geometry and spontaneity.”<br />

Trust is a<br />

non-profit<br />

organisation<br />

formed to protect one<br />

of New Zealand’s most<br />

important coastal<br />

wetlands. Each week,<br />

board members<br />

will discuss matters<br />

regarding the estuary,<br />

its rich history and what<br />

makes it unique. This<br />

week Bill Simpson writes<br />

about carpet maker<br />

Nimrod Mitchell<br />

AN EARLY hero of the<br />

industry in Christchurch was<br />

Nimrod Mitchell who built a<br />

carpet-making factory on a site<br />

which is now part of Charlesworth<br />

Wetland Reserve.<br />

He arrived in Christchurch<br />

from the United Kingdom in<br />

1879 and in 1884 opened the<br />

Zealandia Carpet Factory. He<br />

exported to other parts of the<br />

colony and also to Sydney.<br />

Christchurch and Neighbourhood<br />

of 1885 praised Mitchell<br />

ESTUARY MATTERS<br />

Carpet factory key part of<br />

Charlesworth Reserve’s history<br />

DESTROYED: How the Zealandia Carpet Factory looked in the 1880s.<br />

as “the right man in the right<br />

place,” and described the<br />

opening as “a red letter day<br />

truly, not only for the promoter<br />

but also for the whole<br />

colony of New Zealand.”<br />

But perhaps the carpet business<br />

was not so rosy.<br />

In 1886 Mitchell was<br />

charged with burning down<br />

his own factory to defraud his<br />

insurers. A witness in the trial,<br />

George Richardson, said he<br />

was offered £40 by Mitchell to<br />

burn the factory down.<br />

Richardson suggested kerosene<br />

and Mitchell had replied<br />

“that will do and I will give<br />

you the key of the factory.”<br />

However, Richardson later<br />

told Mitchell he would not<br />

set fire to the factory; but two<br />

weeks later the factory was<br />

burnt down and Mitchell<br />

himself was judged to be the<br />

culprit.<br />

That is not the end of the<br />

story. In August 1887, Sir Julius<br />

of New Zealand and also<br />

Three artists come<br />

together for exhibition<br />

THREE artists – Sheila<br />

Brown, Jo Loughnan and<br />

Jo Ogier – will come<br />

together this weekend<br />

for an open studio art<br />

exhibition in Sumner.<br />

The exhibition will take<br />

place for third year in a<br />

row at Ogier’s studio on<br />

Scarborough Hill, 68 Taylor’s<br />

Mistake Rd.<br />

It will be open from<br />

10am to 4pm on Saturday<br />

and Sunday.<br />

The event will be an opportunity<br />

to meet the artists,<br />

visit a working studio,<br />

discuss their art practises<br />

and the meaning behind<br />

their work this year.<br />

This year Covid-19 has<br />

affected how we all live,<br />

work and play. For the<br />

three artists this has made<br />

them reflect, appreciate<br />

local surroundings and<br />

value close relationships.<br />

Loughnan’s figurative<br />

work has captured<br />

these treasured moments<br />

with loved ones and also<br />

inspired a study of herself,<br />

creating a series of selfportraits.<br />

Brown’s work has seen<br />

a more intimate approach<br />

CREATIVE: (Left to right) – Jo Ogier, Jo<br />

Louhgnan and Sheila Brown have their artwork<br />

on display this weekend.<br />

to her paintings, mainly<br />

of seascapes and birdlife,<br />

capturing small moments<br />

in time that have become<br />

so important to take the<br />

time to notice, to reflect,<br />

to protect.<br />

Ogier has always had a<br />

strong affinity with the<br />

natural world and focuses<br />

on what she has observed<br />

and experienced on her<br />

excursions around the<br />

South Island.<br />

Always a tricky topic to discuss with a committed<br />

pet owner as we all try to do the right thing by our<br />

special friends. Lets face it we hate letting them<br />

down! Plus we love seeing them enjoy their food and<br />

we love rewarding them.<br />

Weight management and nutrition should always<br />

be a part of every consultation with a pet I believe.<br />

There is an overload of nutritional information online,<br />

a lot of it incorrect. It amazes me how people with<br />

no veterinary or nutritional knowledge at all, claim to<br />

know everything about what their dog should eat.<br />

I blame Dr Google!Some diets do more harm than<br />

good. We have seen puppies as young as 12 weeks of<br />

age with Ricketts and severe gastrointestinal disease<br />

( leading to lifelong inflammatory bowell disease) if<br />

they are started on raw food diets exclusively. It is<br />

now not recommended by vets to feed grain free<br />

diets to puppies under 1 year of age due to links to<br />

cardiomyopathy ( heart disease).<br />

As veterinarians we need to be able to offer clients<br />

clear honest advice before they decide what to feed<br />

their pet. There are many great foods out there and<br />

some pets do better on one brand over another. It<br />

can be a bit of trial and error but you do want a food<br />

your pet loves to eat.<br />

As veterinarians<br />

and nurses we are<br />

always upskilling on<br />

the different diets<br />

bought out by the<br />

food companies. We<br />

can make the link<br />

between weight gain<br />

and disease states,<br />

age appropriate diets<br />

and try to prescribe<br />

a diet in line with the<br />

owners nutritional<br />

beliefs ( if it doesn’t<br />

harm the pet). Home<br />

prepared diets for<br />

a particular disease<br />

can be formulated<br />

through Massey<br />

University as well.<br />

There are many great<br />

premium diets on the<br />

market for the puppy,<br />

adult and geriatric<br />

pet. What we like to<br />

concentrate on are<br />

the prescription diets,<br />

only sourced through<br />

Veterinary clinics, which are an important part of a<br />

medical treatment plan for pets with certain diseases<br />

( ie kidney disease, diabetes, inflammatory bowel<br />

disease, dental disease, joint disease, weight loss<br />

diets etc)<br />

Fortunately most pets we see now are not obese.<br />

This is part due to better diets sourced and fed, dogs<br />

getting more exercise generally, pets cementing<br />

themselves in a family thus having more importance<br />

and more awareness of obesity in pets. It’s not “cute”<br />

anymore to be podgey and round. The resurgence of<br />

puppy daycare centres and dog walking businesses<br />

means dogs are socialising and playing more<br />

therefore controlling metabolic rate. Balanced,<br />

premium commercial foods are preferred over bones,<br />

dog roll and feeding human scraps.<br />

Obesity usually occurs due to gross overfeeding,<br />

Chrisy checking Clios Bloods<br />

Cleo at 30 kg<br />

excessive treat feeding, feeding high fat diets, and<br />

lack of aerobic exercise where dogs especially run,<br />

chase, play and fetch. Some breeds are predisposed<br />

like the Labrador and Beagle due to their voracious<br />

appetites and great nose for finding food.<br />

Medical conditions like Hypothyroidism, Diabetes<br />

or Cushings disease also can lead to obesity. This<br />

is where the annual check becomes important as<br />

your veterinarian should consider the pets weight<br />

and body score, explore what foods are fed and<br />

recommend blood and urine testing to determine<br />

if certain disease states exist. A leaner pet will live a<br />

happier, healthier and longer life? Not rocket science.<br />

Clio, a delightful 7.5 year old Chocolate lab presented<br />

to me 6 months ago excessively overweight at<br />

40kg. She had lived with<br />

elderly owners who fed<br />

her household leftovers,<br />

Tux and tinned food and<br />

she was pretty exclusively<br />

an inside dog with very<br />

little exercise, although<br />

lots of love and pats.<br />

About a year ago she had<br />

been heavier at 47kg!! At<br />

this weight she could no<br />

longer get into the car<br />

herself, was slow to get up<br />

from rest and generally<br />

looked sore and stiff in her<br />

hips. She had no energy<br />

nor desire to play.<br />

She was rehomed<br />

within the family, her<br />

new owners committed<br />

to her weight loss and<br />

improving her life. When<br />

I first met Clio I checked<br />

bloods and urine mainly<br />

for thyroid disease and<br />

diabetes. She had low<br />

normal thyroid levels but<br />

I decided to start with the<br />

reduced calorie diet (Hills Science diet Metabolic dry)<br />

first. Her intake was 245g per day ( approx 2 cups)<br />

with NO treats whatsoever. Her new owners where<br />

fanatical, feeding her only what was recommended.<br />

Her weight loss success has been excellent, with Clio<br />

now weighing 31.60kg. She still could be at risk of<br />

becoming hypothyroid in the future, so 6 monthly<br />

thyroid tests will continue. She plays with dogs now,<br />

can easily walk for 30 minutes and wears a constant<br />

smile. She just looks and feels amazing and now has<br />

a waist. Even her coat is glossy.<br />

A rule of thumb to determine if your pet is<br />

overweight is that they should have a waist when<br />

you look down on them and you should be able to<br />

easily feel the last 3 ribs. If you are worried your cat or<br />

dog may be at risk of becoming obese, book a visit<br />

with us today. Your pet will thank us in the long run.<br />

Serves 4<br />

Ingredients<br />

500g skinned and boned<br />

chicken breasts<br />

salt and pepper to taste<br />

1 small onion, diced<br />

1 cup blueberries<br />

Dressing: <strong>25</strong>0g creme fraiche<br />

or light sour cream<br />

1-2 tbsp Dijon-style mustard<br />

2 tbsp milk, lemon juice<br />

packet instructions.<br />

Saute the onion in the remaining<br />

oil, until softened.<br />

Combine ingredients for<br />

dressing.<br />

Place blueberries in a<br />

large bowl.<br />

Using two forks, flake the<br />

chicken. Place in the bowl<br />

Start a new<br />

Christmas tradition<br />

What could be better than starting some new family traditions this year? Christmas traditions are memories<br />

in the making and help spread a little festive cheer whether with your loved ones or out in the community.<br />

10 great ideas to help make Christmas a magical time of the year<br />

1. Create a Christmas playlist with some of<br />

your favourite carols and songs – play it<br />

loud and every day, if that’s your thing.<br />

Or plan a pre-Christmas sing-along<br />

evening – don’t forget to supply the song<br />

sheet so everyone can join in too.<br />

2. Get into the spirit of Christmas by getting<br />

together with family or friends to help<br />

decorate each other’s houses – turn up<br />

the music, drink the wine and go all out<br />

to deck the halls.<br />

3. Make and send homemade Christmas<br />

cards – there’s nothing more exciting<br />

than getting mail, right? Or how about<br />

writing some generic ones and dropping<br />

them into your nearest retirement<br />

home to brighten up an elderly person’s<br />

Christmas.<br />

4. Buy your family Christmas tee-shirts or<br />

Santa hats to wear on the day and don’t<br />

forget to take a family selfie.<br />

5. Fill a shoebox with gifts for a child, wrap<br />

it with a bow, and deliver to the nearest<br />

community gift tree – check with your<br />

local library and label with age and<br />

gender.<br />

6. Have a yearly family, friends or neighbour<br />

outdoor games night with drinks and<br />

nibbles leading up to the big day – think<br />

Pétanque, hoopla, mini golf, giant chess,<br />

or croquet.<br />

7. Take a leaf out of Iceland’s traditional<br />

‘Jolabokaflod’ or Christmas Book Flood,<br />

and give a book as a gift on Christmas<br />

Eve each year – don’t forget to write<br />

inside the cover who it’s from and the<br />

date.<br />

8. Make a list of must see Christmas movies<br />

to watch a week before Christmas day<br />

and tick off the ones you’ve watched.<br />

Don’t forget the popcorn and hot<br />

chocolate or nibbles and wine.<br />

9. Make and give a handmade ornament<br />

as a gift each year – the lucky receiver’s<br />

Christmas tree will be covered with<br />

beautiful, handmade memories.<br />

10. Make homemade hot chocolate on<br />

Christmas Eve or on Christmas morning<br />

to drink while the presents are being<br />

opened – decorate with whipped cream,<br />

grated chocolate, marshmallows, or<br />

crushed candy canes.<br />

Christmas shopping made easy!<br />

Delicious mueslis, granolas and porridges.<br />

A great gluten free range as well.<br />

For the cooks amongst you, a good selection<br />

of nuts, seeds and dried fruit.<br />

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas<br />

Christmas is a great time for passing down recipes that are tried and true becoming<br />

traditional family favourites. The owner of this recipe says her mum used to make<br />

the pudding on Christmas Eve and would take the bowl and wooden spoon around<br />

everyone in the house to stir the mixture and make a wish.<br />

Finding those special gifts and stocking fillers as<br />

well as the Christmas treats for the table is so easy at<br />

our city’s malls and shopping centres, where the shops<br />

are bursting with festive merchandise.<br />

Every woman likes to receive body pampering<br />

gifts, and there is a huge selection of these priced<br />

to suit all budgets at the many pharmacies and gift<br />

shops around the city. Perfume is another favourite<br />

and again there is a wide selection to choose from,<br />

ranging from exciting new releases to the well-known<br />

fragrances that have stood the test of time. Lingerie,<br />

jewellery, fashion accessories, homewares and decor<br />

items – there’s no end to the ideas for the women on<br />

the list.<br />

The men are equally well catered for, from the<br />

sophisticated metro-male boyfriends, to the car-crazy<br />

brothers and the DIY enthusiast and keen gardener<br />

husbands and dads. Choose from clothing, books,<br />

tools, personal grooming items and gadgets to put a<br />

smile on their face on Christmas morning.<br />

Speaking of smiles, nothing gives families more joy<br />

than seeing the excitement of the children opening<br />

their presents. Whether they are delivered by Santa<br />

or snuck under the tree by mum and dad, the cuddly<br />

toys, games, dolls and building blocks, the candy<br />

canes, toy trucks and pretty dresses currently filling<br />

the shops will bring squeals of sheer happiness from<br />

the smallest family members.<br />

The tweens and teens usually have their own ideas<br />

about what they want for Christmas, so the gift cards<br />

offered by a wide range of retailers are the perfect way<br />

to please.<br />

Give a Christmas<br />

gift to remember!<br />

With summer on the way there’s<br />

never been a better excuse to take<br />

a break and head to Hanmer Springs.<br />

Just 90 minutes north of Christchurch,<br />

Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools and Spa<br />

offers something for everyone - whether<br />

it’s that hard-to-buy-for friend or a well<br />

NEW RELEASES<br />

GREAT NEW READS INSTORE<br />

A Promised Land<br />

by Barack Obama<br />

In the stirring, highly anticipated first volume of his presidential memoirs,<br />

Barack Obama tells the story of his improbable odyssey from young man<br />

searching for his identity to leader of the free world, describing in strikingly<br />

personal detail both his political education and the landmark moments of<br />

the first term of his historic presidency—a time of dramatic transformation<br />

and turmoil. Obama takes readers on a compelling journey from his earliest<br />

political aspirations to the pivotal Iowa caucus victory that demonstrated<br />

the power of grassroots activism to the watershed night of <strong>November</strong> 4,<br />

2008, when he was elected 44th president of the United States, becoming<br />

the first African American to hold the nation’s highest office. Reflecting on the<br />

presidency, he offers a unique and thoughtful exploration of both the awesome<br />

reach and the limits of presidential power, as well as singular insights into the<br />

dynamics of U.S. partisan politics and international diplomacy.<br />

Mark Skaife<br />

The complete illustrated autobiography of one of Australia’s most<br />

successful touring car drivers ever<br />

This is a portrait of a racing legend featuring photos from Mark’s<br />

private collection, plus toasts and roasts from the racing people who<br />

know him the best.<br />

For more than three decades across the Holden Racing Team’s<br />

golden era, Skaife was the chosen one. Imposing, sometimes<br />

polarising and always revered, his legend is immeasurable and he<br />

remains a pillar of Australian motorsport as a media ambassador<br />

and presenter.<br />

I’m in a United State<br />

by Paul Henry<br />

Paul Henry reflects on his life and times in this homage to the<br />

land of the slightly shabby stars and stripes. Despite his best<br />

intentions, Paul Henry has written his third book. It’s a charming<br />

and eccentric ramble through the United States and back to New<br />

Zealand during the Covid-19 pandemic. There are two weddings,<br />

an election, a new TV show and his love affair with Palm Springs,<br />

sad desert motels, road trips and other passions. A fascinating<br />

window into the intriguing world of Paul Henry. ‘I love the USA.<br />

And in this book, in real time, over the first six months of <strong>2020</strong>,<br />

I chronicle my thoughts and actions and draw from my past to<br />

try and work out why. I’m brutally honest and clearly disturbed,<br />

magnificently so! I literally don’t care what people think. You will<br />

be surprised. This is me, now . . . You’re welcome.’ Paul Henry<br />

60 Years Of Coronation Street<br />

by ITV Ventures Limited & Abigail Kemp<br />

Celebrating 60 years since the show’s creation, this book is an<br />

exhaustive, compelling and entertaining history packed full of features<br />

and long-forgotten imagery. Everything you need to know about<br />

Britain’s longest running and most popular soap is found here in this<br />

impressive book.<br />

Bella My Life in Food by Annabel Langbein<br />

For the first time, Annabel Langbein, New Zealand’s most popular cookbook<br />

author, writes about her remarkable life and how food has shaped it,<br />

highlighting some of the recipes that have resonated most strongly with her<br />

over the years. From her childhood fascination with cooking to a teenage<br />

flirtation as a Maoist hippie, to possum trapping and living off the land as<br />

a hunter and forager, to travelling and starting her own croissant business<br />

in Brazil, Annabel’s life has always been centred on food and nature. Out of<br />

this came an obsession with creating cookbooks, introducing a generation<br />

of cooks to her simple recipes for delicious, stylish meals. Annabel<br />

has lived a huge and varied life, and she writes vividly about her many<br />

adventures. From throughout this rich life in food she has chosen 60 key<br />

recipes, created with her signature style and flair that make cooking easy<br />

for everyone, sharing them in this beautifully photographed book.<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />

Wednesday <strong>November</strong> <strong>25</strong> <strong>2020</strong><br />

Plenty to choose from at Kia dealership<br />

THE SHOWROOM and forecourt<br />

was jam-packed with cars<br />

when I went to pick up Kia’s small<br />

sport utility vehicle – the Seltos<br />

– the Limited all-wheel-drive<br />

version, to be exact.<br />

Extracting the evaluation car<br />

was a mission of moving several<br />

vehicles and squeezing mine out<br />

of the showroom.<br />

I quipped to the sales manager<br />

there were too many cars on the<br />

lot and he should sell a few.<br />

He replied by saying the business<br />

was in a good position, stock<br />

was plentiful and there was a<br />

steady supply chain.<br />

I mention this because many<br />

of today’s car manufacturers are<br />

struggling with continuum of<br />

supply due to Covid-19 affecting<br />

the workforce both in the<br />

factories and with component<br />

suppliers.<br />

South Korea has a good handle<br />

on the pandemic, and Kia (along<br />

with its partner, Hyundai),<br />

factories haven’t been affected<br />

dramatically.<br />

The Seltos has been in the New<br />

Zealand market for a year or so<br />

now, it lands here in five specifications<br />

and with the choice of two<br />

engines, pricing starts at $27,990<br />

and ends at $46,990 for the allwheel-drive<br />

Limited. In-between,<br />

an LX Plus, EX and Limited<br />

(2WD) list at $35,990, $37,990<br />

and $42,990 respectively.<br />

All except the Limited AWD<br />

get a naturally aspirated 2-litre<br />

petrol engine, a 1.6-litre turbocharged<br />

four-cylinder engine<br />

powers the range-topper. It’s an<br />

engine I’ve experienced before in<br />

several Kia and Hyundai models,<br />

it is a delightful, honest unit<br />

which has always impressed me.<br />

I drove the 2-litre Seltos shortly<br />

after its arrival here and remarked<br />

on its price-friendly positioning<br />

and smooth nature of its engine.<br />

Well, the 1.6-litre engine is just as<br />

good, of course it gets more power,<br />

up 20kW and 85Nm to 130kW<br />

and 265Nm, and the outputs are<br />

developed at usable points of the<br />

rev band – 6000rpm at the top<br />

end with maximum torque available<br />

all of the way from 1500rpm<br />

to 4500rpm.<br />

What’s more, the 1.6 doesn’t<br />

use much more fuel, Kia rate it<br />

with a 7.6-litres per 100km combined<br />

cycle average, the 2-litre at<br />

6.8l/100km.<br />

The latter figures fare well with<br />

the fuel usage readout in the<br />

evaluation car, when I took it<br />

back to the dealership the meter<br />

KIA SELTOS LIMITED: Turbocharged engine and fourwheel-drive<br />

provides power and sure-footed handling.<br />

was reading 8.6l/100km, while<br />

on the highway an instantaneous<br />

figure of 4.5l/100km was showing,<br />

the engine turning over freely<br />

at 2000rpm in seventh gear.<br />

Yes, the 1.6 Seltos drives to all<br />

corners through a seven-speed direct<br />

shift transmission, the beauty<br />

of this gearbox is its clean, quick<br />

shifts and smooth operating<br />

manner. If the driver so desires, a<br />

manual sequential function at the<br />

main gearshift lever will override<br />

the gear change protocols.<br />

The engine and gearbox<br />

combination is delightful, there<br />

is nothing harsh within the<br />

driveline, everything is smooth<br />

and fluid, and such is the way the<br />

turbocharger is boosted there’s<br />

no lag and there is a responsive<br />

feeling of strength beneath the<br />

accelerator.<br />

Saying that, the Seltos isn’t<br />

quick, but it is spirited enough<br />

with an 8.8sec standstill to 100km<br />

acceleration time on offer.<br />

What the Seltos does do well<br />

is provide the driver with an<br />

uninterrupted flow of power, it is<br />

reactive without being punchy.<br />

For an SUV the Seltos also has<br />

a delightful handling manner.<br />

Much of that can be attributed<br />

to the firm steering feel. Full<br />

marks to Kia here, the weighting<br />

is perfect for me, there is genuine<br />

firmness without being overly difficult<br />

to manipulate.<br />

That’s a fine line to get right for<br />

the Seltos’ target market, it would<br />

need to be easy to drive for the<br />

over-50s, yet it will also appeal<br />

to the youthful who like positive<br />

feedback when a quick corner is<br />

presented.<br />

• Price – Kia Seltos Limited,<br />

$46,990<br />

• Dimensions – Length,<br />

4370mm; width, 1800mm;<br />

height, 1615mm<br />

• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />

four-wheel-drive,<br />

1591cc, 130kW, 265Nm,<br />

seven-speed direct shift<br />

automatic<br />

• Performance –<br />

0-100km/h, 8.8sec<br />

• Fuel usage – 7.6l/100km<br />

In Limited specification the<br />

Seltos also has the goodies you<br />

would expect in a high grade<br />

model, especially for safety where<br />

it is fitted with all the modern<br />

trickery to keep you out of trouble<br />

in the first instance.<br />

Usually, if there is a choice<br />

of models within a series, I’m<br />

angling at the base specification<br />

models, I like them for their<br />

simplicity and pricing, there are<br />

many bargains to be found there,<br />

and yes, the entry-level Seltos at<br />

under $30k is a genuine bargain.<br />

However, I’d opt for the rangetopper<br />

in this instance, it feels just<br />

so right to be in, it doesn’t feel like<br />

an SUV with its spirited engine<br />

and tight steering, it exudes<br />

something far more sporty.<br />

Not only is Kia cranking along<br />

with supply and the promise of<br />

more exciting new models, it is a<br />

company that has much faith in<br />

its product, all new Kias sold here<br />

come with a five-year/100,000km<br />

warranty. That surely adds the<br />

peace-of-mind factor as well.

REAL ESTATE<br />

Family space with character grace<br />

6 Sumnervale Drive, Sumner<br />

Auction: Wednesday 9 December <strong>2020</strong> 12pm - On site (unless sold prior)<br />

4 bedrooms, 2 living, 1 dining, 1 study, 2 bathrooms<br />

rwferrymead.co.nz/OPA24292<br />

Pairing traditional charm with modern<br />

flair; this superbly presented character<br />

property offers an incredibly comfortable<br />

lifestyle from an exceptionally private pocket<br />

of Sumner. Situated upon a substantial<br />

919m 2 approx section, the home itself was<br />

originally constructed in the 1950s of brick<br />

but underwent a significant extension in the<br />

2000s which introduced a top floor to this<br />

former single level abode. Lovingly retained<br />

features include rimu floors and classic<br />

décor, while sleek upgrades sit effortlessly<br />

within the home and enhance its aesthetic<br />

appeal. The sheer size of the floor plan is a<br />

unique drawcard, and depending on your<br />

requirements, this home could either be<br />

arranged to host five bedrooms or four plus<br />

a study. The freshly renovated kitchen makes<br />

a statement in modern style and interacts<br />

flawlessly with the dining area. The presence<br />

of two living zones will be greatly appreciated<br />

by families, with each enjoying immediate<br />

access outside. Bi-fold doors off the lounge<br />

extend your space out to the expansive<br />

hardwood decking that ideally contains builtin<br />

seating and borders the established garden<br />

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />

and impressive lawn which will provide<br />

endless hours of summertime enjoyment. This<br />

premium outdoor setting is perfectly aligned<br />

for privacy, sunshine and valley views to offer<br />

the ultimate space for entertaining and family<br />

living. The upper-level embraces privacy and<br />

features an expansive master that boasts an<br />

idyllic outlook, dedicated ensuite, another<br />

bedroom and a separate toilet. If you need to<br />

accommodate a large number of residents,<br />

then the ground floor bedrooms would be<br />

well suited as a dedicated setting for guests or<br />

extended family members. A heat pump, log<br />

burner, gas hot water, partial double glazing<br />

are further highlights which complete the<br />

picture. Situated within moments of the area’s<br />

many offerings, you have Sumnervale Reserve<br />

and the Captain Thomas Track positioned on<br />

your doorstep, and have effortless access into<br />

Sumner Village with its bars, beach, schools,<br />

restaurants and boutiques.<br />
