Judy’s 

bid to be 

‘fastest’ 

to 100 

marathons 

• By Chris Barclay 

JUDY BROCK is agonisingly 

close to an acrylic running shoe 

fitting the occasion perfectly, 

a fairy tale ending to what has 

been a hasty marathon journey 

for the distance athlete. 

Brock, who lives in Mt 

Pleasant, is two certified race 

finishes, or 84.39km away, 

from upgrading her associate 

membership of the 100 

Marathon Club New Zealand to 

the ‘fastest’ runner to reach the 

milestone. 

She has a bib for the Alpine 

Marathon in Hanmer Springs 

on Saturday and seven days later 

in Wanganui, fitness permitting, 

Brock will usurp Christchurch 

marathon man Norman Chan, 

who took six years, five months 

and eight days to go from zero 

to 100. 

Brock ran her first marathon 

in New York on November 2, 

2014 after a mate dared the pair 

to tackle the iconic route to mark 

their 50th birthdays. 

The challenge also enabled 

Brock to follow in father Bob’s 

footsteps. The senior constable 

was killed when a helicopter 

crashed at Franz Joseph glacier 

in 1986, a few months after his 

10th marathon at Buller.

Green light for $27m Naval Point plan 

Closure of 

Magazine Bay 

marina 

on cards 

A $27 million plan to redevelop 

Lyttelton’s Naval Point has been 

given the goahead by the Banks 

Peninsula Community Board. 

The Naval Point Development 

Plan, which was developed in 

partnership with Te Hapū o 

Ngāti Wheke (Rāpaki) Rūnanga, 

includes an 

expanded public 

boat ramp, 

reorganised 

waterfront and 

new breakwater. 

The board 

Tori Peden 

also has 

requested city 

council staff start working on a 

leasing plan for all Naval Point 

users and recommended the city 

council approve the closure of 

the Magazine Bay marina, once 

existing licences expire or are 

terminated according to their 

licence terms and conditions. 

This will go to a future council 

meeting, with the date still to be 

set.

Board chairwoman Tori 

Peden said approving the 

Naval Point plan, which is 

an overall vision for the area 

and not detailed design, is a 

significant step forward in 

improving the area for the many 

users of Naval Point and the 

wider public.

number of years, wanting to see 

Naval Point developed to better

suit the needs of its recreational 

users and for it to be more 

accessible to the public,” she 

said. 

“We recognise that it will 

take time for the plan’s vision 

to be fully achieved but 

approval of the plan means that 

stakeholders, such as Canterbury 

Coastguard and Lyttelton 

Rugby, can pursue funding 

opportunities for their projects 

on the site. 

“While the board has 

approved this concept plan 

for the site, we recognise 

there will be ongoing work with 

users and key stakeholders to 

firm up the detailed designs 

needed for future phases 

of the development work – 

especially elements such as the 

breakwater.”

plan will take place in stages

NATURAL CYCLE: Thousands of dead krill turned Southshore beach pink last week. 

PHOTO: MARGARET ELLINGFORD 

Cycleway growth 

CYCLISTS SAY the growing 

network of major cycle routes 

in the city is encouraging them 

to make more trips by bike, new 

survey findings show. 

Earlier this year the city 

council repeated the Cycle Users’ 

Survey that first ran in 2018. 

This year 303 surveys were 

completed, which involves interviews 

with people found riding 

their bikes on the city’s major 

cycle routes. 

City council transport 

operations manager Steffan 

Thomas said 82 per cent of those 

who took part this year stated 

the new cycleways have 

encouraged them to use their 

bikes more. 

“It is clear from the responses 

to the survey that the growing 

network of major cycle routes in 

the city is making a difference 

to how people move around,” he 

said. 

“It was great to see people 

talking about how they are now 

happy for their kids to bike to 

school or how they now cycle 

into town if they are going to 

meet friends for dinner. 

Washed up krill 

turns beach pink 

SOUTHSHORE beach turned 

bright pink last week after the 

high tide left millions of whale 

krill washed up. 

Sea birds are feasting at the 

beach on the swimming crabs 

which form important food for 

whales and other sea life. 

Otago University’s Marine 

Science Professor Steve King said 

the summer stranding is nothing 

to be alarmed about. 

“It’s a natural cycle of the pelagic 

food where climate change 

is happening but it is mostly 

manifested in the warm water 

conditions we are seeing right 

now. 

“There’s a raft of red-pink 

animals on the wave wash on 

the beach, that’s a very typical 

thing to happen in the summer 

time in these sub-antarctic 

waters.” 

King said the red crabs have a 

pigment which reflects the pink 

colour.

encourages more riders to get on bikes 

Steffan 

Thomas 

“The reason we are building 

the cycleway network is to make 

it safer and easier for people of 

all ages to get around the city by 

bike so it is really heartening to 

hear about how the cycleways 

are making people re-think their 

transport options.’’ 

The survey 

covered topics 

such as 

trip-purpose, 

cycling frequency, 

mode 

of transport 

prior to cycling, 

cycleway 

influence on 

participation 

and safety and 

comfort perceptions. 

The largest individual age 

group of respondents were those 

aged between 35 and 49-yearsold, 

representing 30 per cent of 

the results. 

Overall, nearly 60 per cent 

said they ride at least five times a 

week, and more than 80 per cent 

twice a week for work, education, 

meeting friends and family, or for 

fitness purposes. 

Cyclists have also reported that 

they feel safer on the road – in 

2020, 92 per cent agreed that the 

cycleways improved safety, which 

was a decrease from 94 per cent 

in 2018. 

However, safety was still a

your views to bea.gooding@ 


concern. Many described being 

knocked from their bikes due 

to vehicles using the cycle lane 

when turning into driveways or 

approaching intersections. 

“Safety is still a concern for 

some. As part of the survey, we 

received lots of comments about 

the behaviour of drivers and the 

constant need for people cycling 

to be vigilant around cars,” said 

Thomas. 

“Whether you are going by bike 

or by car, we all need to take care 

on the roads and keep an eye out 

for other road users.” 

PEDAL POWER: Cycle routes like the Coastal Pathway 

from Ferrymead Bridge to Scarborough are encouraging 

more people to get on bikes.

GREAT NEW READS INSTORE 

Meghan Misunderstood 

by Sean Smith 

Meghan Misunderstood is a pioneering book that sets the 

record straight on the most talked about, unfairly vilified and 

misrepresented woman in the world. Meghan was eleven when she 

first advocated for women’s rights; a teenager when she worked in 

a soup kitchen feeding the homeless; a popular actress when she 

campaigned for clean water in Africa and passionately championed 

gender equality in a speech to a United Nations Women’s 

Conference. Even before she met Prince Harry, hers was an 

extraordinarily accomplished life. Now, Sean Smith, the UK’s leading 

celebrity biographer, pulls no punches as he reveals the remarkable 

and powerful story of this self-made, intelligent American woman 

with a strong social conscience who has made such an impact on 

our lives.

The Untold Story of the British Family Firm that Became 

a Global Brand - reebok 

By Joe Foster 

The remarkable story of how Joe Foster developed Reebok into one of 

the world’s most famous sports brands, having started from a small 

factory in Bolton. 

Since the late 19th century, the Foster family had been hand-making 

running shoes, supplying the likes of Eric Liddell and Harold 

Abrahams - later immortalised in the film Chariots of Fire - as well 

as providing boots to most Football League clubs. But a family feud 

between Foster’s father and uncle about the direction of their business 

led to Joe and his brother Jeff setting up a new company, inspired by 

the success of Adidas and Puma, and so Reebok was born. 

No Time Like The Future 

An Optimist Considers Mortality 

By Michael J Fox 

The entire world knows Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly, the teenage 

sidekick of Doc Brown in Back to the Future; as Alex P. Keaton in 

Family Ties; as Mike Flaherty in Spin City; and through numerous other 

movie roles and guest appearances on shows such as The Good Wife 

and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Diagnosed at age 29, Michael is equally 

engaged in Parkinson’s advocacy work, raising global awareness of the 

disease and helping find a cure through The Michael J. Fox Foundation 

for Parkinson’s Research, the world’s leading non-profit funder of PD 

science. His two previous bestselling memoirs, Lucky Man and Always 

Looking Up, dealt with how he came to terms with the illness, all the 

while exhibiting his iconic optimism. His new memoir reassesses this 

outlook, as events in the past decade presented additional challenges. 

Down South 

In Search of the Great Southern Land 

by Bruce Ansley 

In Down South, writer Bruce Ansley goes on a journey back to his 

beloved South Island. 

From Curio Bay to Golden Bay, in Down South writer Bruce Ansley 

sets off on a vast expedition across the South Island, Te Waipounamu, 

visiting the places and people who hold clues to the south’s famous 

character. Not so very long ago, the South Island had most of New 

Zealand’s people and just about all of the money. Gold miners found 

fortunes in the hills and rivers, sheep barons straddled mountains, 

valleys and plains. Wealthy southerners ruled the government. Where 

now lies the South Island’s golden fleece? And what is its future. 

Speed Kings 

Australia and New Zealand’s quest to win the Indy 500, 

the world’s greatest motor race. By John Smailes 

The fascinating, definitive story of Australia and New Zealand’s quest to 

win the world’s greatest motor race. Winning the Indianapolis 500, the 

greatest spectacle in motorsport, has been a quest for Australians and 

New Zealanders since the first race in 1911. Seventeen have tried and two 

have succeeded: Scott Dixon in 2008 and Will Power in 2018. Rupert 

Jeffkins, Australia’s original speed king, entered the first Indy 500 and on 

his second attempt in 1912 came within five kilometres of victory. He and 

Italian Ralph De Palma created legend when they pushed their car to the 

finish line after it blew up while leading. Speed Kings tells Jeffkins’ full story 

for the first time. it tells the story of the Australian and New Zealand drivers, 

team owners, engineers, even commentators who’ve made the Brickyard 

their quest.

‘I’d crawl to the end, I want that bling’ 

“I ran with his photo on 

my back when I did my 10th 

marathon (also Buller) which was 

really neat as a memorial to him,” 

Brock said. 

The 56-year-old admin worker 

originally figured she would 

be one and done after the Big 

Apple but her mindset changed 

somewhere along the route from 

Staten Island through Brooklyn. 

“I was really nervous. I trained 

hard, I didn’t drink alcohol for 

six months. 

“I really took it seriously and 

during it I felt like Forrest Gump, 

I felt like I could keep going 

round Central Park. It was just 

the most amazing experience.” 

Brock was the 20,675th finisher 

in 4.16:43, and since then her 

placing and time haven’t exactly 

been her driving force – stopping 

the clock has been key. 

And providing she completes 

the Wanganui 3 Bridges course 

on December 12 she will beat 

Chan’s mark by four months 

and become the 14th female club 

member – and 51st overall – to 

bring up three figures. 

Ironically, had a global pandemic 

not emerged in 2020, 

Brock would have probably 

reached century status on November 

1, back where it all began. 

“It was going to be one to a 100, 

New York and back again, but 

obviously Covid stuffed that up. 

It’s sad, but it’s not a big deal is it? 

People are dying.” 

MEMORY: 

Judy Brock 

ran her 10th 

marathon with 

this photo 

of her father 

Bob Kram, 

who died in 

a helicopter 

crash shortly 

after he 

reached the 

milestone. 

Brock then targeted Hanmer 

Springs to reach the century 

with family and friends, but 

the cancellation of the Aoraki 

Mount Cook Marathon due to 

bad weather on October 3 forced 

another revision. 

She battled through the recently-verified 

Kaikoura Mountain to 

Sea Marathon on October 24 – 

the only time she has finished last 

– in a touch under six hours. 

That still sits uncomfortably 

after she was convinced to enter 

at short notice by husband Stu. 

“I had this ‘tail-end Charlie’ on 

his push-bike for company. He 

had a very sore arse by the end. I 

told him I was sorry to keep him 

out there so long,” she said. 

Brock, whose best time is the 

3.55:00 or so she recorded in 

New Plymouth’s Mountain to 

Surf Marathon, bounced back in 

Queenstown last weekend and 

is well primed for the challenge 

ahead. 

“You don’t have to train. I 

swim twice a week and I bike 

twice a week. I was doing a lot of 

5ks and 10ks but (now) walking 

the dog is enough. At the height 

of it, I was doing 25 to 30 (marathons) 

a year. One weekend I did 

two,” she said. 

Brock originally thought she’d 

stop hitting the tarmac after 

running Hawaii for her 50th, but 

decided to push on. 

She nominated Paris and 

Auckland as her favourite endurance 

tests and given the current 

climate, Brock was grateful to 

have run overseas. 

“I feel very blessed that I did 

the Great Wall of China, Buenos 

Aires in Argentina and London,” 

she said. 

And no, Brock does not have a 

DNF on her record, bristling at 

the mere suggestion. 

“I’d crawl to the end, I want 

that bling, we love the medal.” 

Yet, Wanganui is the end of the 

road. The club’s shoe will take 

pride of place with the framed 

medals from London and New 

York. 

“I’m booked in with the surgeon 

the day after I finish,” Brock 

revealed. 

“After about 80 marathons I 

said to my doctor: ‘I’m having 

trouble, I’m running like crap.’ I 

knew I had a tear in my hip flexor 

so he sent me to a surgeon who 

told me: ‘You need a new hip’. 

“People go: ‘It’s all that running’. 

Unfortunately it’s a 

hereditary thing. I’ve had to runwalk 

and I’ve had some painful 

moments. 

“I’ll run as far as I can, it takes 

me a couple of hours longer 

now,” she said, eyeing a more 

leisurely pursuit – lawns bowls at 

Redcliffs.

Time to change 

our culture 

Dave Bryce of 

the Redcliffs/ 

Te Rae Kura 

Eco Village 

group says it 

is focusing on 

culture and recreation 

CULTURE IS the way we live, 

the combination of our beliefs, 

what we do and how and why we 

do it. 

Locally and throughout New 

Zealand there are many different 

cultures. The original Maaori 

culture, is strongly based on the 

interdependence between people 

(taangata) and the environment 

(whenua) with the belief that the 

health of the people comes from 

the health of the environment. 

Western culture is dominant 

across NZ, and while there 

was strong connection to the 

environment centuries ago, it has 

gradually changed to one which 

believes people are independent 

of nature, can take whatever 

resources they want, and have 

limitless growth. These beliefs are 

leading to massive degradation 

of much of our biosphere, and 

ironically, risk irreversibly changing 

our earth to be uninhabitable 

for humans. 

Locally and throughout NZ/ 

Aotearoa we could change this 

culture, by listening to, learning 

from and working with Maori, 

and incorporating more of their 

culture and knowledge into our 

daily lives. 

We could all make a start by 

saying “hi” or “kia ora” to a 

neighbour, instead of keeping to 

ourselves and rushing here and 

there, and working long hours 

for some things we later find we 

didn’t really need. 

Chat to neighbours, and spend 

a little more time being active in 

our community, doing recreation 

or helping others or enjoying and 

caring for the environment. 

We may then see our community 

as part of an environment, 

where people recognise, connect 

to, and care for each other, their 

locality and wildlife, as guardians 

(kaitiaki), because the key to 

healthy and prosperous people 

is a healthy and productive environment. 

Our pledge on culture and 

recreation for 2020 is support 

a (low carbon emissions) local 

cultural or sporting activity every 

month. 

ESTUARY MATTERS 

Sea captain one of 

Woolston’s biggest fans 

The Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust is a non-profit 

organisation formed to protect one of New Zealand’s most 

important coastal wetlands. Each week, board members will 

discuss matters regarding the estuary, its rich history and what 

makes it unique. This week Bill Simpson writes about the man 

behind Charlesworth Wetland Reserve 

CHARLESWORTH Wetland 

Reserve on the edge of the 

estuary is a living memorial to 

one of Woolston’s biggest fans. 

Captain William 

Charlesworth was a sea captain 

trading between Australia, 

India and England but on his 

first voyage to Christchurch in 

the mid-1850s he instantly fell in 

love with the new town. 

Within days, he had purchased 

land on Ferry Rd near 

the steam wharf on the Heathcote 

River. 

He acquired other properties 

including three hotels in Lyttelton, 

pastoral land along the 

estuary edge and urban properties 

on the corner of Kilmore 

and Madras Sts. 

He named his Ferry Rd property 

Saxon Farm (his trading 

ship was the Royal Saxon) and 

built himself a grand house 

which he called Saxon Villa. 

Newspapers referred to him 

as a gentleman and he had local 

status as a sea captain but he 

kept a low profile in local affairs. 

His only recorded public 

position was as a member of the 

Woolston School Committee. 

Across the Tasman, Charlesworth 

is known as the man who 

first bought elephants, tigers 

and bears to Australia. 

He collected the 

animals in India and 

then sold them to 

colonists in Hobart, Melbourne 

and Sydney. One of his 

elephants, Tommy, toured 

widely within Australia and 

become quite famous. 

After buying land here, 

Charlesworth persuaded siblings 

to come to New Zealand 

with their families, but his only 

child, Frederick Towns Charlesworth, 

died at the age of 23 from 

diphtheria. 

Charlesworth died in 1875 

aged 60 of blood poisoning from 

an accident while chopping a 

tree down near his house. 

Volunteers are welcome to 

assist in maintaining Charlesworth 

Reserve, the team meets 

every Sunday at 3pm.

Water safety plan called a milestone 

THE CITY council’s Akaroa 

and Takamatua Water Safety 

Plan has been approved by the 

drinking water assessor on 

behalf of the Ministry of Health. 

The plan is one of seven the 

council is responsible for, under 

the Health Act, that need to be 

updated and submitted to the 

drinking water assessor every 

five years. 

To date, 

only the city 

council and 

Hurunui District 

Council 

have had water 

safety plans 

approved 

Pauline 

Cotter 

under the 

Government’s 

Drinking 

Water Safety Plan Framework, 

which was introduced in 2018 

following the Havelock North 

Drinking Water Inquiry. 

Chairwoman of the council’s 

three waters, infrastructure and 

environment committee Pauline 

Cotter said it represents a huge 

milestone. 

“This is Christchurch City 

Council’s first water safety plan 

approved under the Government’s 

new risk assessment 

criteria,” she said. 

“Staff should be congratulated 

on a major achievement for 

the Akaroa and Takamatua 

water supply, and the residents 

of those towns can be extra 

confident their drinking-water 

supply network is safe and 

secure.” 

The Akaroa and Takamatua 

shared water supply network 

draws its drinking water 

from four streams and two 

wells before being filtered and 

chlorinated at a local treatment 

plant which was constructed in 

2015. 

The city council is currently 

working to resubmit its 

Christchurch and Lyttelton 

Water Safety Plan before the 

end of this year to demonstrate 

it is supplying safe and secure 

drinking water for residents. 

General manager city services 

David Adamson said having the 

first water safety plan across the 

line will benefit the process for 

the others. 

“Having the approval of 

the drinking water assessor 

means we’re now in a better 

position to fully understand the 

expectations and to apply what 

we’ve learned to our other water

safety plans,” he said. 

“We have confirmation that 

the way we assess and manage 

public health risks to our water 

supply networks, under the new 

framework, is robust and valid. 

We can now take this model and 

apply it to our other water safety 

plans, which will benefit the 

approval process as we need to 

resubmit those plans.”

Box 88 

by Charles Cumming 

The unforgettable new book from award-winning 

writer and comedian Mark Watson. 

An organisation that doesn’t exist. 

A spy that can’t be caught. 

Years ago, a spy was born… 

1989: The Cold War will soon be over, but for BOX 

88, a top secret spying agency, the espionage game 

is heating up. Lachlan Kite, recruited from an elite 

boarding school, is sent to France, tasked with gathering intelligence on an 

enigmatic Iranian businessman implicated in the Lockerbie bombing. But 

what Kite uncovers is more terrifying than anyone expected… 

Now he faces the deadliest decision of his life… 2020: MI5 hear rumours 

of BOX 88’s existence and go after Kite – but Iranian intelligence have got 

to him first. Taken captive and brutally tortured, Kite has a choice: reveal 

the truth about what happened in France thirty years earlier – or watch his 

family die. 

In a battle unlike anything he has faced before, Kite must use all his skills 

to stay alive. 

The Berlin Girl 

by Mandy Robotham 

From the bestselling author of The German Midwife comes the heartwrenching 

story of a country on the brink of war, a woman who puts 

herself in the line of fire, and a world about to be forever changed 

Berlin, 1938: It’s the height of summer, and Germany is on the brink of 

war. When fledgling reporter Georgie Young is posted to Berlin, alongside 

fellow Londoner Max Spender, she knows they are entering the eye of the 

storm. Arriving to a city swathed in red flags and crawling with Nazis, 

Georgie feels helpless, witnessing innocent people being torn from their 

homes. As tensions rise, she realises she and Max have to act – even if it 

means putting their lives on the line. But when she digs deeper, Georgie 

begins to uncover the unspeakable truth about Hitler’s Germany – and the 

pair are pulled into a world darker than she could ever have imagined.

Alpine Fault rupture: What will it feel like? 

• By Jamie Morton 

THE NEXT major rupture of the 

South Island’s Alpine Fault will 

prove one of the largest – if not 

the biggest – that earthquakes 

Kiwis have ever experienced. 

But what will it actually feel 

like? 

The geology of New Zealand 

makes that an incredibly 

complex question to answer 

– but a new study evaluating 

millions of different earthquake 

scenarios will give us a much 

better idea. 

The Alpine Fault, which runs 

about 600km up the western 

side of the South Island between 

Milford Sound and Marlborough, 

poses one of the biggest 

natural threats to New Zealand – 

especially Canterbury, the West 

Coast, and Otago. 

It has a clear geologic record 

of rupturing around every three 

centuries – and 2017 marked 

the 300th anniversary of what is 

thought to have been a magnitude 

8.0 earthquake that moved 

one side of the fault by about 8m 

in a matter of seconds. 

Recent studies undertaken 

as part of the joint AF8 project 

have suggested a big quake could 

block South Island highways 

in more than 120 places, leave 

10,000 people cut off, and cost 

the economy about $10 billion. 

BIG THREAT: The Alpine Fault, which runs about 600km up the western side of the South 

Island, poses one of the biggest natural threats to New Zealand. PHOTO: GETTY IMAGES 

Now, a team of scientists led 

by Professor John Townend 

of Victoria University of 

Wellington—Te Herenga Waka 

and Dr Caroline Holden of GNS 

Science aim to build a state-ofthe-art, 

3D picture of the ground 

shaking effects we could expect 

from future large earthquakes on 

the fault. 

“When the Alpine Fault next 

ruptures, it will produce seismic 

waves that propagate out in 

all directions,” 

Townend said. 

“The ground 

shaking we feel 

in different parts 

of the country 

during an earthquake 

is controlled 

by the size 

of the earthquake 

and aspects of 

John 

Townend 

how the fault is slipping but also 

by the geological structure the 

seismic waves encounter as they 

propagate over long distances 

and by the local geology right 

beneath our feet. 

“What we’re interested in is, 

how do variations in the likely 

characteristics of the earthquake 

affect ground shaking at different 

locations in the country?” 

Scientists say the intensity of 

the shaking in the most affected 

areas – particularly West Coast 

spots – could be unlike anything 

we’ve felt before. 

The next Alpine Fault earthquake 

would likely also be a 

long-duration event – unzipping 

the crust for as much as three 

minutes – because of the sheer 

length of the fault. 

“By comparison, the Kaikōura 

earthquake in 2016 ruptured a 

total fault length of 200km in the 

space of about two minutes,” said 

Holden. 

“Given what we know from 

geological studies of the Alpine 

Fault, we’re anticipating a major 

magnitude 8.0-plus earthquake, 

rupturing 500km of the crust, 

so the shaking will be felt 

throughout the South Island, but 

the intensity and duration will 

ultimately depend on what happens 

on the fault.” 

Townend said detailed 

geological and geophysical studies 

of the Alpine Fault over the past 

decade – and the Canterbury 

and Kaikōura quakes themselves 

– had done much to fill in 

knowledge gaps about potential 

Alpine Fault scenarios. 

“But we haven’t yet witnessed 

a rupture of this fault ourselves, 

so our understanding of what

New Manager for 

Edith Cavell as 

Refresh Takes Shape 

These are exciting times for Edith Cavell as a refresh has begun to 

brighten, lighten and modernise Sumner’s very own Care Home, 

whilst retaining all the charm and features that we know and love. 

Edith Cavell also welcomes a new face, as we bid a sad but fond farewell 

to Moira when she handed over the reigns to new Manager, Scott. 

Scott joins after a long and successful career in the hotel industry in 

New Zealand and Australia. 

Scott explains, “I got to the stage when I was looking for a change, 

and as my parents became older I realised the real need for them to 

have an enjoyable retirement with quality care available. This really 

became front of mind and set me on a new pathway.” 

Scott says there are a lot of similarities between running a hotel and 

a Care Home, in terms of really putting the residents first. “Creating 

an exceptional experience for the residents is first and foremost, so 

managing the day to day aspects such as cleaning and cooking are 

pretty similar,” says Scott 

However, one key difference is the important task of overseeing quality 

nursing care. Scott says, “We have a genuinely passionate and caring 

team including our fantastic Clinical Services Manager, Maria Crone, 

who is doing an outstanding job.” 

Another very positive difference is the enjoyment Scott is finding from 

forging personal relationships with residents and their families. “To 

meet these wonderful people and hear their amazing stories is the 

best job satisfaction anyone could wish for,” he says. 

Scott believes the refurbishment will reaffirm Edith Cavell as a truly 

valuable asset to the Sumner Community. 

“You can already see the new, but true to character, colour scheme 

from the street and we’ve already been receiving favourable 

comments,” he says. 

Scott is really looking forward to meeting more of Edith Cavell’s wider 

family members at the Christmas BBQ on December 9th. 

“I’ve been really blown away by the support and enthusiasm shown 

from our local community, offering to come and sing and support us 

as one of their very own,” says Scott.

Newly-developed methods 

of extracting information 

• From page 16 

“By analysing these rupture 

scenarios mathematically, 

you can calculate the 

ground shaking in different 

places – but you can realistically 

only do that for a 

limited range of scenarios 

because simulating the 

propagation of seismic 

waves through complex 

geological structures is a 

very large computational 

task.” 

The key to evaluating 

a broader range of 

earthquake rupture 

scenarios could lie in 

newly-developed methods 

of extracting information 

from background seismic 

noise – or what Townend 

called the Earth’s “hum”. 

“Much of what we record 

with seismometers is noise 

generated by ocean waves,” 

he said. 

“It looks pretty random 

but embedded in the 

incoherence are useful 

signals that tell us how 

seismic waves propagate 

between different parts of 

the Alpine Fault and, say, 

locations in Christchurch 

or Nelson or wherever you 

like.” 

Techniques for extracting 

those signals from the 

noise recordings have been 

developed by members 

of the team and applied 

successfully to faults in 

PEOPLE ARE being invited 

to play an interactive online 

game that will test their 

knowledge of what items 

belong in the red, yellow 

and green wheelie bins. 

The game, which people 

can play on their smartphones 

and online has been 

developed by city council 

staff and is the latest tool in 

the ongoing campaign to 

help people bin good. 

The game requires players 

to drag selected items into 

either the red, green or yellow 

bin.If they put the item 

in the right bin, they earn 

points. If they put the item 

in the wrong bin, the bin 

shakes and they get an X on 

the scoreboard. The correct 

bin will light up. 

The items used in the 

game were selected because 

they are ones that people 

often get confused about 

and put in the wrong bin. 

Said council resource 

recovery manager Ross 

Trotter. “The success of 

our kerbside rubbish and 

recycling service depends 

on people putting the right 

California and Japan. 

The novelty of this approach 

is that calculating 

how different patterns of 

slip on the fault affected 

ground shaking at locations 

of interest throughout 

the South Island and 

southern North Island 

could be done without having 

to simulate the entire 

wave propagation process. 

Townend said the approach 

meant they could 

efficiently and accurately 

simulate millions of different 

earthquakes. 

“This enables us to 

compute realistic ground 

shaking in population 

centres and at other 

vulnerable locations in 

stuff in the right bin. This 

new game is a fun, interactive 

way of teaching people 

about what bin they should 

use for different items. 

“The contents of the green 

wheelie bin get processed 

and turned into compost. 

That cannot happen if there 

is too much non-organic 

material in the bin. Likewise, 

the contents of the 

yellow wheelie bin cannot 

be recycled if non-recyclable 

items are included. 

“Our goal is to minimise 

the amount of waste going 

to landfill so that’s why we 

need people to put the right 

stuff in the right bin. 

response to many more 

earthquake rupture 

scenarios than can be 

practicably studied using 

conventional approaches,” 

Townend said. 

“This means that we 

can investigate a far more 

comprehensive range of 

scenarios that take into 

account the latest information 

we have about the 

fault’s current state, and 

obtain realistic probabilistic 

estimates of the shaking 

that will occur in inevitable 

future large Alpine Fault 

earthquakes.” 

The new study is being 

supported with a $960,000 

grant from the Marsden 

Fund. – NZ Herald 

Game to test your 

bin waste knowledge 

“If you are confused 

about what goes in each 

of the bins, give the game 

a try. I also recommend 

that you use our updated 

wheelie bin app. It has a 

great search function which 

you can use if you are 

uncertain about which bin 

a particular items belongs 

in. All you have to do is 

enter the name of the item 

you want to dispose of and 

it will tell you which bin to 

put it in.’’

More funds 

to preserve 

heritage? 

• By Louis Day 

MAYOR LIANNE Dalziel has 

floated the idea of rolling out 

a targeted rate which would 

be used to preserve the city’s 

heritage. 

This would result in an additional 

charge being added on to 

the overall rates bill residents and 

businesses receive. 

The targeted rate would charge 

each property the same unlike 

the majority of the rates bill 

which is calculated based on 

property value. 

The money would then be used 

to establish a fund which would 

only be put towards the repair 

and maintenance of the city 

council’s tangible and intangible 

heritage, ringfencing the money 

and protecting it from the tug of 

war between projects and assets 

that can occur when the council 

arranges its budget. 

Dalziel thought protecting 

Christchurch’s heritage was 

especially important after losing 

so much of it to the Canterbury 

earthquake sequence.

Call for rates adjustment 

• By Louis Day 

AN ADJUSTMENT to how the 

city council charges for rates 

which would see expensive 

properties pay more and those 

on the other end of the spectrum 

pay less, has been called for. 

City councillor Jake McLellan 

from left-leaning Labour-aligned 

group The People’s Choice is the 

person behind the call. He sees the 

adjustment as a progressive move 

towards ensuring everybody pays 

according to their means. 

However, councillors from 

opposing right-leaning political 

group Independent Citizens see 

this as “completely ridiculous” 

and an attempt to implement a 

wealth tax “through the backdoor 

of local government.” 

While the majority of the 

rates bill residents across the city 

council’s jurisdiction are charged 

is determined by property value, 

there is a relatively small fixed 

charge called the uniform annual 

general charge. 

This charge is currently set 

at $132 and is added on to the 

overarching rates bill of all properties 

regardless of their value. 

This is less than half the $439 the 

Auckland Council charges its 

constituents. 

McLellan thought this “flat 

tax” approach was regressive and 

should be scrapped entirely or at 

least reduced.

PRINCIPLE: 

Jake McLellan 

says the “flat 

tax” approach 

should be 

scrapped. 

He believed a more progressive 

strategy was needed where the 

value of properties were taken 

into account. 

He said this was less about 

money and more about principle. 

“Under this approach, most 

people would actually be better 

off, people in Fendalton would 

have to pay a little more, but I’m 

happy with that,” he said. 

“This is about people paying 

their fair share and paying according 

to their means. 

“We should be trying to reduce 

the rates burden to those who 

need it in these trying times.” 

City council staff have been 

asked by councillors to provide 

them with a report on a review

of the uniform annual general 

charges. Any changes to the 

charge would require public consultation 

before being made. 

Deputy Mayor and The 

People’s Choice caucus leader 

Andrew Turner said he would 

not like to see these charges increase 

but would not say whether 

he wanted to see them decrease 

until he had seen the work produced 

from staff. 

Ensuring there was a “fair and 

equitable” distribution of charges 

was needed though, he said. 

City councillor and member 

of Independent Citizens Sam 

MacDonald thought abolishing 

or reducing the uniform annual 

general charges would be “completely 

ridiculous.” 

“It is out of touch with the 

hard-working ratepayers of 

Christchurch,” he said. 

MacDonald questioned why a 

Labour-aligned councillor from 

The People’s Choice was pursuing 

what appeared to be a wealth 

tax when Prime Minister Jacinda 

Ardern had ruled one out this 

term. 

“I don’t know why they are 

trying to implement one through 

the back door of local government.” 

Fellow city councillor and 

Independent Citizens member 

James Gough saw this as a “very 

blunt and poorly thought out attempt 

at a wealth tax.” 

“Just because someone resides 

in an area that has a higher average 

land value does not in any 

way correspond to their affluence, 

cashflow or ability to pay,” 

he said. 

“You would essentially be saying 

that a pensioner who has the same 

sized house on the same sized 

section in one part of town needs 

to pay considerably more for their 

rubbish collection and council 

services than someone who lives 

on the other side of town. 

“The people who it would 

really punish are those on fixed 

incomes such as pensioners 

who struggle as it is to pay their 

rates.”

Message from the Principal 

At Marian College, as 2020 draws to a 

close, we celebrate our students who have 

all persevered during this challenging year. 

This year began with excitement for the Year 

9 students starting high school and we all 

looked forward to the busy calendar of events, 

making new friendships and taking on new 

learning. No-one could have anticipated a 

global pandemic, but our students coped 

with the changes required with courage and 

commitment. As a Catholic Special Character 

school, our Gospel and school values have 

stood us in good stead in 2020. 

We are proud of our staff who worked hard 

to provide home learning during lockdown, 

quickly adapting to full online teaching 

practices and keeping in close contact with our 

students. They were committed to maintaining 

every opportunity for progress and success. 

We are equally proud of our students who 

also had to adjust to a new way of working 

and managed very well. On their return 

to school, they had a renewed respect for 

the relationships in our school-both with 

friends and with their teachers. Our sports 

and cultural teams quickly picked up their 

competitive spirit on our return back to school 

and were involved in summer and winter 

events ranging from Theatre sports to korfball. 

We were also fortunate to be able to celebrate 

our Marian College Feast Day – a wonderful, 

long-standing tradition. 

Thank you to our families for their support 

during this year, we have 

valued working with you. 

As a family, faith-based 

school, we appreciate 

working together for the 

benefit of the students. 

We look forward to an exciting year in 

2021, as the design and plans for our new 

school will be finalised and work begins on 

building, ready for our opening in 2023 at the 

new site in Papanui. We anticipate sharing 

the innovative design with our community at 

the start of the school year. 

Wishing you every blessing this Christmas.

Start a new 

Christmas tradition 

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

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

10 great ideas to help make Christmas a magical time of the year 

1. Create a Christmas playlist with some of 

your favourite carols and songs – play it 

loud and every day, if that’s your thing. 

Or plan a pre-Christmas sing-along 

evening – don’t forget to supply the song 

sheet so everyone can join in too. 

2. Get into the spirit of Christmas by getting 

together with family or friends to help 

decorate each other’s houses – turn up 

the music, drink the wine and go all out 

to deck the halls. 

3. Make and send homemade Christmas 

cards – there’s nothing more exciting 

than getting mail, right? Or how about 

writing some generic ones and dropping 

them into your nearest retirement

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas 

Christmas is a great time for passing down recipes that are tried and true becoming 

traditional family favourites. The owner of this recipe says her mum used to make 

the pudding on Christmas Eve and would take the bowl and wooden spoon around 

everyone in the house to stir the mixture and make a wish. 

Make a Wish Christmas Pudding 

You will need: 

• 1 ½ tbsp butter 

• 1 ½ tsp baking soda 

• 1 ½ cups of boiling water 

• 1 ½ cups flour 

• 1 ½ cups mixed fruit or sultanas 

• ¾ cup sugar 

Method: 

1. In a glass or stainless steel bowl, 

melt the butter (over hot water) 

and dissolve the baking soda. 

2. Add the boiling water and 

sugar. 

3. When cool, add flour and 

mixed fruit. 

4. Stir all the ingredients together 

and make a Christmas wish. 

5. Cover bowl with a tea towel and 

allow to stand overnight. 

The next day: 

• Place mixture into a greased 

bowl or ice-cream container, 

cover with tinfoil and place in a 

pot of water, just deep enough 

so the bowl doesn’t float. 

• Boil pudding for four hours and 

check regularly to make sure 

the water has boiled dry. Top 

up carefully with extra water if 

required. 

• Serve with heaps of Chantilly 

cream! 

Chantilly 

Cream 


• 1 x bottle of cream 

• ½ tsp vanilla essence 

• 1 tbsp icing sugar to 

sweeten 

Method: 

Put cream, vanilla essence 

and icing sugar in a bowl and 

whisk until light and fluffy with 

softly formed peaks. Cover and 

refrigerate until ready to serve.

Santa’s Brekkie Pancakes 

with fresh berries 

This one is not just for the kids – the sweetness of the bananas makes these 

pancakes scrumptious and a delicious, healthy breakfast hit for everyone! 


• 4-5 bananas (soft enough to mash) 

• 4 eggs 

• ½ cup rice flour 

• 2 tbsp whole linseed 

• ½ tsp salt 

• grated lemon rind 

• juice from 1 lemon 

• splash of vanilla 

• butter to cook the pancakes 

Method: 

1. Peel and mash the bananas in a bowl. 

2. Stir in the eggs, vanilla, linseed, salt 

and lemon ingredients. 

3. Add flour and mix to a smooth batter. 

4. Cook pancakes in frypan on one side 

until they bubble on the surface or hold 

together enough to be flipped over. 

5. If the mixture is thick, flatten the 

pancakes out once they’ve been turned 

over. Each pancake should be around 

1cm thick. 

Kid’s version: 

Decorate each pancake with red berries 

for Santa’s hat, Greek yoghurt or 

whipped cream for Santa’s beard and 

chocolate buttons or grape halves for 

Santa’s eyes. 

Adult’s version: 

Serve with a mix of fresh strawberries, 

blueberries, raspberries, and

Shops bursting with 

festive gift ideas 

The countdown to the big day is well underway, so making up the 

Christmas gift list will now be a top priority… if you haven’t already done so. 

Finding those special gifts and stocking fillers as 

well as the Christmas treats for the table is so easy at 

our city’s malls and shopping centres, where the shops 

are bursting with festive merchandise. 

Every woman likes to receive body pampering 

gifts, and there is a huge selection of these priced 

to suit all budgets at the many pharmacies and gift 

shops around the city. Perfume is another favourite 

and again there is a wide selection to choose from, 

ranging from exciting new releases to the well-known 

fragrances that have stood the test of time. Lingerie, 

jewellery, fashion accessories, homewares and decor 

items – there’s no end to the ideas for the women on 

the list. 

The men are equally well catered for, from the 

sophisticated metro-male boyfriends, to the car-crazy 

brothers and the DIY enthusiast and keen gardener 

husbands and dads. Choose from clothing, books, 

tools, personal grooming items and gadgets to put a 

smile on their face on Christmas morning. 

Speaking of smiles, nothing gives families more joy 

than seeing the excitement of the children opening 

their presents. Whether they are delivered by Santa 

or snuck under the tree by mum and dad, the cuddly 

toys, games, dolls and building blocks, the candy 

canes, toy trucks and pretty dresses currently filling 

the shops will bring squeals of sheer happiness from 

the smallest family members. 

The tweens and teens usually have their own ideas 

about what they want for Christmas, so the gift cards 

offered by a wide range of retailers are the perfect way 

to please. 

Give a Christmas 

gift to remember! 

With summer on the way there’s 

never been a better excuse to take 

a break and head to Hanmer Springs. 

Just 90 minutes north of Christchurch,

offers something for everyone - whether 

it’s that hard-to-buy-for friend or a well 

deserved treat for yourself. 

We’ve got packages to suit every 

occasion. Relax and unwind in our

BMW X6 challenges design rules 

CAR MAKERS are always 

looking for a point of difference 

in their designs. 

A good example of that is 

BMW’s X6 sport utility vehicle. 

Well such is its style it doesn’t really 

fit the SUV mould, its coupetype 

rear quarter tapers markedly 

to provide a fast-back look, one 

which is distinctive and eyecatching. 

If you add in genuine 

bulk – the X6 is big – then you 

have a bold, brash SUV that has a 

polarising style. 

Most of the people who I talked 

about it liked it, but then there 

were others who said it was a bit 

over the top and unnecessarily 

complicated as a design, especially 

up front where an angular, 

illuminated grille commands 

attention. 

The X6 has always been 

controversial, when it was first 

launched it had only four seats 

which seemed a bit of a waste in 

such a big car. However, BMW 

has addressed that, it has been a 

five-seater for several years now. 

The X6 lands here with three 

engine options; well, two are pretty 

much the same design, a 3-litre 

six-cylinder diesel with two different 

power outputs, but for those 

who like to stick with a high-performance 

petrol engine, the M50i 

is V8-powered. All have BMW’s 

xDrive four-wheel-drive system. 

The two diesels have nomenclatures 

of 30d and 50d respectively. 

This evaluation surrounds the 

entry-level model which lists at 

$149,400, the 50d and M50i are 

both priced at $187,100. 

Given its stature, the X6 has a 

plush, spacious interior, and for 

those onboard you are cocooned 

in the lap of luxury, and there is 

an abundance of trim details that 

will provide a pleasurable travelling 

experience for all occupants. 

The driver also gets a wealth of 

functions and controls, many of 

which are voice activated while, 

of course, the X6 has the benefit 

of a multitude of safety systems 

incorporated into the vehicle. 

Up front sits the big diesel, it 

has massive power outputs even 

in what is considered low-power 

form. BMW claims 195kW and 

620Nm, if that is not enough 

grunt for you the 50d adds 99kW 

and 140Nm. For me, though, the 

30d has enough to satisfy. Power 

is sufficient enough to claim a 

6.5sec time to reach 100km/h. 

That’s not bad for a tubby vehicle 

which weighs just over twotonne. 

The engine is strong and wilful, 

it is grunty under load and in a 

subdued way it lets you know it is 

enjoying its work. It throbs away 

and is free-revving in its nature, 

hauling to the 5000rpm redline 

willingly, and that is unusual for 

a big diesel. Not that there is any 

real need to explore high revolutions, 

diesels of this type have 

mammoth mid-range torque, and 

for that matter, the X6 is an absolute 

dynamo during a highway 

overtake. Such is the acceleration 

BMW X6 30d: Sports sedan feel with notable power/handling balance. 

you need to keep a close watch on 

the speedometer, the X6 charges 

to dizzy speeds with little effort 

and little sensation of speed. 

It also seems unfathomable 

that you can have this huge 

charge of energy from under the 

bonnet and still achieve remarkable 

fuel usage economy. BMW 

also claims a 7.1-litre per 100km 

combined cycle average. On my 

long highway run the readout was 

listing a 5.2l/100km instantaneous 

figure at 100km, the engine 

almost idling at just 1350rpm. 

That contributed to an overall 

9l/100km figure when I had finished 

evaluating. 

Overall, that’s perfectly acceptable, 

and figures that will continually 

surprise the X6 buyer, you 

can have huge impetus without 

needlessly scoffing fuel. 

The engine drives to all four 

corners through an eight-speed 

• Price – BMW X6 30d, 

$149,400 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4941mm; width, 2019mm; 

height, 1693mm 

• Configuration – Sixcylinder, 

four-wheel-drive, 

2993cc, 195kW, 620Nm,

automatic transmission. It is a 

sequential shifting type with 

paddles attached to the steering 

wheel should the driver desire 

to take control of the gearshift 

process. Left to its own devices 

the gearbox works the torque pattern 

of the engine well, upshifting 

early to minimise fuel usage. 

Perhaps the biggest surprise 

of all with the X6 is that of its

handling. I’ve mentioned it is a 

big car and you’d expect there 

to be limitations when twisty 

backroads are encountered. That’s 

far from the reality, the X6 belies 

its bulk, it feels tightly connected 

with the road and it is remarkably 

agile. A lot of that can be attributed 

to the massive 22in Continental 

tyres which have amazing 

sidewall flexibility along with 

unyielding grip. 

Steerage is informative and 

the entire vehicle is balanced 

over the suspension. Of course, 

you are paying a premium price 

for the X6 and you’d expect all 

the ducks to be in row, but the 

power/handling balance of the 

X6 is something quite extraordinary, 

it feels like a sports sedan, 

it is something quite special 

when the never ending mixture 

of New Zealand’s road types are 

presented. 

The X6 is a complicated car to 

describe. For one it is the quintessential 

family wagon, it is also a 

recreational model which would 

be at home on the Mt Hutt skifield 

access road, and it is a performance 

SUV that is very wilful 

with its high power outputs. 

For my money the ‘baby’ of the 

series would win out. As much 

as I like big V8 petrol engines, 

the 3-litre diesel charms with its 

honesty and economy; however, 

deciding between the 30d 

and 50d is another conundrum 

altogether. 

From family cars to work trucks and 

supercars to fixer-uppers.

REAL ESTATE 

Resort Style Living... 

4 Gazelle Lane, Redcliffs 

Auction 17 December 

4 bedrooms 4 bathrooms 2 living rooms 

2 car garage - Listing Number: SM0435 

A distinctive split-level design and 

sensational city-to-sea vistas are served up 

at this architectural residence that offers a 

lifestyle of luxury from a peaceful setting on 

the lower sheltered side of Redcliffs hillside. 

Crafted by Lonsdale Architectural; this 2007 

build naturally has a modern presence, with 

touches of stonework and the abundant use 

of glass offering visual elegance and 

framing the property's sublime outlook. 

Covering 440m2 across three floors; the 

exceptional layout can accommodate families 

in supreme comfort, with each of the four 

bedrooms located on the ground floor, two 

of which boast an ensuite and walk-in 

wardrobe. A family bathroom caters to the 

two remaining bedrooms, while the laundry 

is also logically placed on this lower level 

along with storage and a wine cellar. With new 

carpet and gleaming new tiles throughout and 

under floor heating for the cooler months. 

The tiered upper levels are dedicated to 

everyday living and maximise the 

property's phenomenal views. An expansive 

open plan kitchen, dining area and lounge 

spill out to your choice of two substantial 

balconies that ensures your summer can be 

well-spent entertaining in style. A discreet 

study and walk-in pantry peel off either 

side of the contemporary kitchen, the 

latter of which is finished with elegant 

granite countertops. 

Set on the top floor is a well-appointed 

media room that provides a private spot for 

movie night, and its own balcony for yet 

another elevated area where you can admire 

the spectacular surroundings. Undeniable ease 

is assured, with the double internal access 

garage also accessing these central floors. 

The home is well-appointed throughout, 

with further features including a gas fire, 

heat pump, C-Bus wiring and an abundance 

of storage. Adding further allure is the low 

maintenance 1187m2 section and its heated 

swimming pool basking in all day sun 

which will undoubtedly be the focus of 

summertime gatherings. 

Located at the base of the hill and only a 

short drive is McCormacks Bay Reserve 

and Redcliffs flat with its local amenities 

and Redcliffs Primary School (decile 10). 

At the weekends pop down to the Farmers 

market or take a walk around the coastal 

walkway to Sumner or Ferrymead. 

Our owners have relocated north relinquishing 

this opportunity.
