Rescuers recount saving<br />
eight from burning boat<br />
• By Samantha Mythen<br />
RESCUERS HAVE described<br />
how they saved eight people<br />
from a boat fire in Lyttelton<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
Kim Clinch, acting<br />
commodore of the Charteris<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> Yacht Club, was on a<br />
moored boat running a<br />
regatta when she saw the<br />
boat in distress. She phoned<br />
emergency services.<br />
“We saw it unfold, starting<br />
with seeing smoke. Our most<br />
important priority is to save<br />
lives first, rescues are a part of<br />
what we do and so the regatta<br />
support boat – a rib [rigid<br />
inflatable boat] – headed over<br />
to the boat,” she said.<br />
The club’s support crew,<br />
including Steve Palmer, were<br />
first on the scene.<br />
Palmer had been watching<br />
over the <strong>February</strong> 6 regatta<br />
when he first noticed the<br />
smoking boat.<br />
He jokingly asked his<br />
fellow support crew whether<br />
it was a fire or an out-ofcontrol<br />
barbecue. They soon<br />
realised it was serious and<br />
headed to the boat, about 2min<br />
away from their position.<br />

Teenager<br />
fined for<br />
risky stunt<br />
through<br />
tunnel<br />
• By Samantha Mythen<br />
AN 18-YEAR-OLD has been<br />
fined and severely reprimanded<br />
for risking his life by riding<br />
on the back of a moving freight<br />
truck through the Lyttelton<br />
tunnel.<br />
The truck was carrying a 40ft<br />
container to its Lyttelton port destination<br />
after 11pm on Thursday.<br />
It had stopped at the entrance<br />
to the Lyttelton tunnel on the<br />
Christchurch side due to tunnel<br />
maintenance.<br />
The teenager was a passenger in<br />
a burgundy Mazda3 which had<br />
stopped behind the truck.<br />
While they were stationary, the<br />
teenager jumped onto the back of<br />
the container, where he perched<br />
on the edge. After the lane was<br />
opened, the truck continued on<br />
through the tunnel.<br />
The truck driver was unable<br />
to see him due to the position<br />
of the container. The driver of a<br />
pilot vehicle noticed the teenager<br />
as the truck pulled up to the port<br />
gates.<br />
The teenager then jumped off<br />
and quickly ran up the road.<br />

BARNETT PARK users are<br />
disappointed three large rocks<br />
that tumbled onto the park from<br />
Clifton Hill during the <strong>February</strong><br />
22, 2011 earthquake have been<br />
removed.<br />
The rocks have been taken to<br />
the Te Pae convention centre by<br />
Ōtākaro Ltd, the Government<br />
agency responsible for anchor<br />
projects in the central city. They<br />
will be used as part of the landscaping.<br />
The city council said<br />
yesterday it gave permission<br />
for Ōtākaro Ltd to remove the<br />
rocks.<br />
“The community was<br />
not consulted over their<br />
removal, however, their<br />
presence in Barnett Park was<br />
only temporary – they were<br />
originally put in a pile here<br />
by the council following the<br />
earthquakes,” a city council<br />
spokesperson said.<br />
Elsa Truscott, who walks<br />
dogs in Barnett Park, said the<br />
community should have been<br />
consulted before the rocks were<br />
taken.<br />
“They were quite a cool feature<br />
in a park that is quite empty.<br />

They were also a good memory<br />

The rocks had become a natural<br />

People also liked to have their<br />

rocks.<br />
Mt Pleasant resident Amanda<br />
Rudkin lived on Clifton Hill<br />
before the earthquake still regularly<br />

children, Quinn and Ava.<br />
“The rocks are an iconic part<br />
of the community,” she said.<br />

long-time resident of Diamond<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>, found her curious cat<br />
Coco, a burmese-himalayanpersian-ragdoll<br />
cross, trapped<br />
in a gap between a fence and a<br />
water tank on her property.<br />
The proud owner of three cats<br />
had already found herself in<br />
this situation last year in March<br />
when her ragdoll Cookie had<br />
also got itself trapped in the<br />
same place.<br />
After trying to reach a neighbour<br />
for help to no avail, Mehalski<br />
knew who to call to the<br />
rescue. She promptly got a hold<br />
of the volunteer fire brigade.<br />
“They must have thought: ‘Oh<br />
not again,’ after I rang them,”<br />
laughed Mehalski.<br />
Nathan Graham, chairman<br />
of the Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> Resident’s<br />
Association, navigated the<br />
tricky rescue.<br />
Coco was soon back in the<br />
arms of Mehalski, not too soon<br />
after the fire brigade all received<br />
a cuddle from the cat too.<br />
Graham had also rescued<br />
Cookie the year before.<br />
Mehalski said: “We are so<br />
lucky to have such a fantastic<br />
fire brigade. I’m so grateful and<br />
I hope I don’t have to call them<br />
again.”<br />
She intends to place some<br />
wire-netting over the gap.<br />

Two people were in the water,<br />
five people and a dog were standing<br />
near the back of the smoking<br />
boat, and one person was in a<br />

Dan Leech, another of the support<br />
crew, picked up the two in<br />

No one was injured.<br />
As they pulled away from<br />
the stricken vessel and headed<br />
towards Naval Point, flames engulfed<br />
the boat, which then sank.<br />
The Coast Guard arrived on<br />
scene around 20min later, Palmer<br />
said.<br />
Skippers are legally required to<br />
carry a correctly-sized life jacket<br />
for every person on board. However,<br />
Maritime NZ only recommends<br />
everyone on board wears<br />
a life jacket if the boat is under<br />
6m. In this case, the boat named<br />
Aroha Mai, was 12m, and it was<br />
fully equipped with safety gear,<br />
including life jackets.<br />
Although at the time of the fire<br />
no one on board was wearing life<br />
jackets, apart from Mannie.<br />
“I want to praise and thank the<br />
quick-thinking of our support<br />
boat crew,” said Clinch.<br />
Palmer said: “It was right place,<br />
right time. It’s usually pretty quiet<br />
as a support crew for the regatta<br />
so it was good to be really useful<br />
for a change.”<br />

Land<br />
How the Hunger for Ownership Shaped<br />
the Modern World by Simon Winchester<br />
In 1889, thousands of hopeful people raced southward<br />
from the Kansas state line and westward from the Arkansas<br />
boundary to stake claims on the thousands of acres of<br />
unclaimed pastures and meadows. Across the twentieth<br />
century, water was dammed and drained in Holland so that a<br />
new province, Flevoland, rose up, unchartered and requiring new<br />
thinking. In 1850, California legislated the theft of land from Native<br />
Americans. An apology came in 2019 from the governor, but what of the<br />
call for reparations or return? What of government confiscation of land<br />
in India, or questions of fairness when it comes to New Zealand’s Maori<br />
population and the legacy of settlers?<br />
The ownership of land has always been complicated, opaque, and more<br />
than a little anarchic when viewed from the outside. In this book, Simon<br />
Winchester explores the stewardship of land, the ways it is delineated<br />
and changes hands, the great disputes, and the questions of restoration –<br />
particularly in the light of climate change and colonialist reparation.<br />
A global study, this is an exquisite exploration of what the ownership of<br />
land might really mean – not in dry-as-dust legal terms, but for the people<br />
who live on it.<br />

A beautiful story of love and loss from the winner of Romantic Novel of the Year<br />
He’d have done everything differently if he’d known she’d be gone so soon...<br />
When Lisa married Alex, she gave his life meaning. She was a professional<br />
astronomer: a stargazer. And when she gazed at Alex, she saw that behind his<br />
tough exterior was a man she could love.<br />
Alex, Lisa and their young son Connor made a happy little universe. But when<br />
Lisa dies suddenly, their universe is destroyed. Alex is shattered by loss, and<br />
overwhelmed by the difficulties of being a single father to a six-year-old boy.<br />
Then Alex meets four strangers. Two men and two women, who never met<br />
Lisa, but whose lives changed profoundly because she died. As Alex hears<br />
their stories, he begins to realise the world may not be as cruel and senseless<br />
as it seems. Perhaps, after all, the future is written in the stars...<br />

THE BYO Pub in Heathcote<br />
Valley is opening its doors once<br />
more on Friday to commemorate<br />
10 years since the <strong>February</strong> 22,<br />
2011 earthquake.<br />
The quake and the September<br />
4, 2010 quake devastated the<br />
Heathcote Valley, significantly<br />
damaging the historic Valley Inn<br />
Tavern and several cafes.<br />
Two weeks after the <strong>February</strong><br />
earthquake, St Mary’s church –<br />
built in 1860 – transformed itself<br />
into a local pub, opening Friday<br />
and Saturday nights with bring<br />
your own drinks and food.<br />
Malcolm Rickerby was the<br />
vicar’s warden in 2011. He was<br />
part of the team, including the<br />
vicar Mary Giles, who came up<br />
with the idea for the BYO Pub.<br />
“We knew we had to do<br />
something for our tight-knit<br />
community,” said Rickerby.<br />
Luckily, the hall that hosted<br />
the pub had been restored in August<br />
2010 and was undamaged<br />

to see something good come out<br />
of the earthquake. The community<br />
spirits were high,” she said.<br />
Heathcote Ward city<br />
councillor Sara Templeton said:<br />
“It was a safe place to connect<br />
and share. It was the heart of the<br />
village.”<br />
Templeton’s three children<br />
were four (twins) and six in 2011.<br />
She reflected on how the BYO<br />
Pub was perfect for both adults<br />
and the young people of the<br />
community.<br />
“It was all so much fun for the<br />
kids. I remember looking outside<br />
into the dark and seeing all these<br />
little lights running around in<br />
the paddock behind the church<br />
where kids were playing hide and<br />
seek.”<br />
Rickerby said it never rained<br />
on a Friday night. About 80-100<br />
people gathered each weekend.<br />
Although the patronage<br />
decreased over the years, and the<br />
BYO Pub dropped to opening<br />
only one day a week (Friday),<br />
it continued running until July<br />
2014.<br />
Rickerby is looking forward to<br />
joining everyone at the pub on<br />
Friday.<br />
“It’s a fantastic idea to have<br />
the 10 year anniversary there.<br />
The BYO Pub was a large part<br />
of the community’s earthquake<br />
recovery, it brought everyone<br />
together.”<br />
Said Templeton: “The event<br />
will be a time to look back and<br />
reflect, both on how long it has<br />
been since the earthquakes but<br />
also on how time has passed<br />
in the blink of an eye. We have<br />
come a long way.”<br />
The BYO Pub event will<br />
depend on alert levels.<br />

Recalling artist Bill Hammond’s generosity<br />
Long-time<br />
Lyttelton<br />
resident<br />
and coowner<br />
of<br />
Busy C’s<br />
Preschool<br />
Caro Davidson writes<br />
about iconic artist Bill<br />
Hammond who died<br />
recently<br />
I WANT to acknowledge Bill<br />
Hammond’s extraordinary<br />
generosity on behalf of the<br />
Lyttelton tamariki/children,<br />
their whānau, the local schools<br />
and the local artists.<br />
In 2003 the first Peninsula Art<br />
Auction was held, which came<br />
about to raise funds for a teacher<br />
salary at Lyttelton Main School,<br />
due to a temporary dip in role<br />
numbers which meant we were<br />
losing a teacher.<br />
We knew a lot of local artists,<br />
and were aware of the talent we<br />
were surrounded by, with the<br />
most notable local artist being<br />
Bill Hammond – one of New<br />
Zealand’s greatest contemporary<br />
artists.<br />
I met Bill in a supermarket car<br />
park and told him of our plan for<br />
the fundraiser art auction and<br />
asked if he would be interested<br />
to be part of it. With no fuss or<br />
hesitation he said “sure, for the<br />
children of Lyttelton – when do<br />
you want the work?”<br />
With that, he has single-handedly<br />
raised tens of thousands of<br />
dollars every second year (when<br />
the Peninsula Art Auction’s are<br />
held) for the schools (now the<br />
one school, Lyttelton Primary)<br />
with his art work which he donated<br />
each year.<br />
He was so talented, unassuming,<br />
efficient – and he inspired<br />
our local and emerging artists<br />
to exhibit (with the privilege of<br />
appearing in the same exhibition<br />
as such an esteemed artist as<br />
Bill), and bidding interest from<br />
all over Aotearoa.<br />
He joined us in our <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
Kitchen’s cookbook fundraiser<br />
in 2009 (which is being repeated<br />
this year) with his favourite recipe<br />
of sliced beetroot and Marmite<br />
on toast – along with an illustration<br />
of the same. A stunning<br />
combination of flavours.<br />
He donated works each year to<br />
the Sculptures on the Peninsula<br />
for Chomondeley Children’s<br />
Centre in Governor’s <strong>Bay</strong> –<br />
BRILLIANT: Artist<br />
Bill Hammond<br />
lived and worked<br />
in Lyttelton before<br />
he passed away<br />
in January. This<br />
painting is titled<br />
Fall of Icarus<br />
(1995).<br />
working wonderful art creations<br />
on whatever medium was supplied<br />
to the artists – saws, chairs,<br />
shovels, wheelcaps.<br />
He and wife Jane opened a<br />
Busy C’s Preschool art exhibition<br />
held in the late 90s at Tony<br />
Palmer’s new gallery opposite the<br />
medical centre, because he was a<br />
neighbour, and so generous and<br />
interested in the well-being of<br />
our tamariki.<br />
A highlight was being parent<br />
help with Bill at his own survey<br />
exhibition Jingle Jangle Morning<br />
in 2007 at the Christchurch Art<br />
Gallery when his granddaughter<br />
was attending Lyttelton Main<br />
School.<br />
Those tamariki received<br />
information about his works<br />
that I believe no journalist<br />
ever got – and Bill also got to<br />
hear the wonderful accolades<br />
the public were giving his work,<br />
as he was rarely photographed,<br />
therefore people were unaware<br />
the artist himself was in their<br />
midst.<br />
The tamariki were set an<br />
exercise to study and draw one of<br />
Bill’s works, and he was having<br />
fun signing some of them . . .<br />
which may or may not cause<br />
some future confusion in the art<br />
market.<br />
Deepest condolences and<br />
best wishes go to Jane and his<br />
family.<br />

Former Sumner School<br />
principal remembered<br />
Former Sumner<br />
School teacher<br />
Nancy Meherne<br />
writes about Peter<br />
Vesty, a former<br />
principal at the<br />
school, who died<br />
on Christmas Eve<br />
PETER WAS headmaster<br />
at the school for 16 years<br />
from 1976 to 1992.<br />
The teachers, parents<br />
and children attending<br />
the school during these<br />
years will be upset with<br />
death, but will have strong<br />
feelings for his ability in all<br />
respects.<br />
The response from children,<br />
parents and teachers<br />
to his energetic and highly<br />
responsive personality, and<br />
his ability to develop good<br />
humour, meant laughter<br />
was most evident in this<br />
school.<br />
Children loved and respected<br />
him, and if a message<br />
had to be taken to the<br />
office, everyone put their<br />
hands up to volunteer.<br />
I know, I had a list of all<br />
names on the blackboard<br />
and as they were chosen<br />
their name was rubbed out.<br />
One time in weekly<br />
assembly, juniors were<br />
told a very important man<br />
• By Samantha Mythen<br />
FURTHER amenities<br />
will be added to Te Papa<br />
Kura Redcliffs Park as it<br />
transforms into the new<br />
community locale.<br />
The former school site<br />
is to receive a new toilet<br />
block, drinking fountain,<br />
signage and furniture.<br />
More plants and trees will<br />
also be added to the area.<br />
All of this will feature<br />
alongside the two sports<br />
fields – junior and intermediate<br />
– which opened in<br />
December.<br />
Said city council head of<br />
parks Andrew Rutledge:<br />
“The park has been a huge<br />
boost for the area and it’s<br />
been great to see lots of<br />
people making the most of<br />
it as we know it is a really<br />
significant space for the<br />
community.<br />
“We’re getting under way<br />
with plans to make this<br />
asset an even better space<br />
for people to visit.”<br />
Heathcote Ward city<br />
councillor Sara Templeton<br />
said the development of<br />
this park has been a longtime<br />
coming.<br />
from the Royal Family was<br />
coming to walk along the<br />
Esplanade in the weekend.<br />
Who would that be?<br />
So many children’s<br />
hands went up, the children<br />
saying: “Mr Vesty.”<br />
The answer was: “No.”<br />
They all looked puzzled<br />
and disappointed until one<br />
small boy put his hand up,<br />
then down and up again,<br />
saying loudly: “Is it, (pause)<br />
God?”<br />
The answer was: “No. It<br />
is Prince Charles”.<br />
“Oh,” everyone sighed,<br />
and their heads were shaking<br />
with disbelief.<br />
One boy in my classroom<br />
was so impressed by<br />
the head, he always had<br />
an eye on the door ready<br />
to open it and salute Peter,<br />
and close it when he left.<br />
We teachers knew that<br />
we could discuss our ideas<br />
and desires with Peter. He<br />
A lot of the delay with<br />
the park’s development was<br />
because of the extensive archaeological<br />
work that had<br />
to be carried out first.<br />
The park is next to the<br />
Moa Bone point cave,<br />
which is an area of extreme<br />
cultural significance to<br />
local iwi. The cave and surrounding<br />
area are thought<br />
to have been the site of<br />
some of the earliest Māori<br />
settlement in New Zealand<br />
around the 14th-century.<br />
Said Templeton: “Having<br />
the park up and running<br />
now is very exciting. It has<br />
been a community-focused<br />
project.”<br />
trusted us to work hard.<br />
One idea he supported<br />
was a music scheme involving<br />
the whole school<br />
which developed into 230<br />
children playing together<br />
for concerts, and groups<br />
visiting aged people homes<br />
and other schools.<br />
As well as good relationships,<br />
other aspects of the<br />
school received attention<br />
and real improvement<br />
occurred.<br />
The Education Department<br />
planned to pull two<br />
old classrooms down, but<br />
Peter knew we needed a<br />
school hall for all our assemblies,<br />
concerts, breakups,<br />
and fundraising for<br />
school improvement.<br />
At that time we had to<br />
use the village hall.<br />
He succeeded in producing<br />
a good sized hall and<br />
later a big swimming pool.<br />
This resulted in a high<br />
standard of swimming<br />
ability, necessary for safe<br />
swimming in a seashore<br />
zone.<br />
Mr Vesty’s hard work,<br />
energy and determination<br />
to achieve a fully<br />
functional school has never<br />
been forgotten; so highly<br />
appreciated and valued,<br />
which has perpetuated the<br />
high standard of Sumner<br />
School today.<br />
Transformation planned<br />
for Redcliffs Park<br />
UPGRADES: New amenities are on the way at<br />
the former Redcliffs School, which is now Te<br />
Papa Kura Redcliffs Park.<br />
Before the former<br />
Redcliffs School buildings<br />
were demolished, members<br />
of the community were<br />
taken round the area and<br />
asked what they would like<br />
to keep.<br />
The playground was a<br />
key focus and has since<br />
been refurbished and is<br />
extensively used.<br />
The community also<br />
wanted to keep a classroom<br />
which was not badly<br />
damaged.<br />
The Mt Pleasant<br />
Pottery Club has recently<br />
taken up that lease and will<br />
be operating from there<br />
soon.<br />

Veterinary practice<br />
Dental issues in puppies<br />
and kittens<br />
We seem to be seeing or are more aware<br />
of a number of our young patients with<br />
teeth issues at an early age. A thorough<br />
dental check needs an accommodating<br />
patient and a patient vet and is not always<br />
easy! Your initial training of your puppy<br />
and yes your kitten with handing the feet,<br />
looking in the mouth and ears certainly<br />
helps. Positive reinforcement with praise<br />
and play or treats afterwards really helps<br />
this become an experience they look<br />
forward to rather than shy away from.<br />
At our vaccination checks which we do<br />
every 3-4 weeks until your puppy or kitten<br />
is 16 weeks, we will give them a full health<br />
check and examine the mouth to try and<br />
identify any dental issues early so we can<br />
hopefully correct them and not need<br />
major surgery later on.<br />
Some of the things we usually see are<br />
malocclusions where often due to face<br />
shape and size the teeth don’t align in a<br />
normal way. Often these may not cause<br />
any major problems and simple dental<br />
care to help keep the teeth clean will be all<br />
that is needed.<br />
Unfortunately sometimes we have teeth<br />
that erupt in the wrong place or the bone structure<br />
of the mouth does not have enough room for the<br />
teeth to come<br />
up where they<br />
should do.<br />
One situation<br />
is where the<br />
lower canines<br />
hit the roof of<br />
the mouth and<br />
can cause big<br />
painful holes.<br />
Sometimes<br />
we can<br />
correct these<br />
with specific<br />
ball therapy<br />
techniques<br />
but others may<br />
require surgical<br />
extractions<br />
as soon as<br />
possible. Our<br />
goal is to try<br />
and keep your<br />
puppy or kitten<br />
pain free and<br />
to try and sort<br />
Macy at 12 weeks<br />
out issues early<br />
so hopefully<br />
we can save the adult teeth.<br />
Retained teeth are a common problem and it is<br />
often the canines involved. The big issue is that<br />
if we don’t remove these teeth quickly then they<br />
can displace by blocking the normal pathway of<br />
the adult canine teeth. Then we can have long<br />
term problems. This is one of the reasons your<br />
vet may suggest a check up around 6 months<br />
of age so we can recognise this issue early and<br />
prevent permanent problems.<br />

www.mcmasterheap.co.nz<br />
Another condition that happens is that some teeth<br />
don’t erupt or are missing. This seems to affect<br />
dogs more commonly and we notice that there are<br />
missing teeth, often when they are<br />
neutered. This seems to be relatively<br />
common in Boxers, Shih Tzus and<br />
Chihuahuas. If there are teeth under<br />
the gum line we sometimes can do<br />
a simple technique to allow them to<br />
erupt but unfortunately others may<br />
just be too deep. These teeth can<br />
form huge cysts in the bone and if<br />
not detected can end up with a dog<br />
needing it’s lower jaw removed!<br />
These are a couple of x-rays from a<br />
wonderful patient Pepper whose<br />
lower canine teeth hadn’t erupted and<br />
caused these massive cysts.<br />
All in all it is about early detection to<br />
prevent long term problems, your help<br />
with handling training and rewards<br />
can really make a big difference in our<br />
ability to examine your puppy or kitten.<br />

about their inaugural paddling<br />
event<br />
On Sunday, <strong>February</strong> 14, Te RaeKura<br />
participated in a ‘paddle to school’ day.<br />
Around 80-100 people were involved and<br />
we were all very impressed. Most people<br />
came to school either by paddleboard,<br />
kayak, blow up rafts, canoes and much<br />
more.<br />
Everyone arrived at about 2pm at<br />
Moncks <strong>Bay</strong> and waited for about half<br />
an hour for the wind to calm down a bit<br />
and for the sail races to finish. We got<br />
back into the water around 2.30pm after a<br />
sandcastle competition.<br />
Paddle to school day was a blast and<br />
we all had a lot of fun! After a lot of hard<br />
work, swimming and pushing people off<br />
of their rides, we finally arrived at the<br />
school around 3.15pm.<br />
There were a lot of safety precautions<br />
and water stops if people got tired. Seven<br />
surf lifesavers from Sumner Surf Club in<br />
inflatable rescue boats and on surf boards<br />
were there to help us out.<br />
After we arrived everyone changed into<br />
warm clothing and huddled around on the<br />
grass for a delicious picnic and later played<br />
some games.<br />
Abby, our deputy principal came<br />
around and handed out some tasty ice<br />
blocks which we all enjoyed very much.<br />
A big thank you to Abby and Darren<br />
and all the helpers and organisers. We<br />
couldn’t have done it without you!<br />
Overall the project was so much fun, not<br />
many kids get to paddle to their school.<br />
We all enjoyed it a lot and would definitely<br />
do it again!<br />

ADVERTORIAL<br />
<strong>17</strong>0 years of Prep School Excellence<br />
Educational matters have<br />
been much in the news at the<br />
start of the school year. At St<br />
Michael’s, we are delighted<br />
that history teaching has finally<br />
been acknowledged as essential<br />
for developing well-informed,<br />
articulate Kiwi citizens.<br />
For at St Michael’s, history<br />
is our foundation. As New<br />
Zealand’s oldest prep school,<br />
for <strong>17</strong>0 years we have educated<br />
and nurtured the visionaries and<br />
dreamers who have built our<br />
city and country, shaping our<br />
history and future.<br />
At St Michael’s, our<br />
young pupils have limitless<br />
potential to lead exciting and<br />
generous lives, and we have<br />
the responsibility to educate<br />
and inspire them, to encourage<br />
every child to flourish in<br />
mind, body and spirit.<br />
St Michael’s is a prep school<br />
for girls and boys in Years<br />
1-8. ‘Prep’ as in a preparation<br />
for secondary school, and a<br />
foundation for a fine life. For<br />
at the heart of St Michael’s<br />
are the essential values of<br />
Christian faith and good global<br />
citizenship: respect, integrity,<br />
faith, hope and love.<br />
Our small co-ed classes and<br />
specialist teachers ensure that<br />
each child is an individual,<br />
well known by staff and fellow<br />
pupils alike. Every child has a<br />
desk and chair, locker and peg<br />
– their own space in which to<br />
establish their own sense of<br />
place and identity.<br />
Traditional foundations<br />
in English and Mathematics<br />
are assured at St Michael’s.<br />
The mechanics of English –<br />
punctuation, grammar, spelling,<br />
vocabulary and sentence<br />
construction – are taught,<br />
practised and tested. Learning<br />
to read develops into reading<br />
to learn, and the delights of<br />
children’s literature, poetry<br />
and drama. Simple sentences<br />
become finely crafted creative<br />
writing, accounts and studies.<br />
Maths teaching has been<br />
in the media firing line again<br />
recently as our national results<br />
continue to slide against key<br />
international markers. At St<br />
Michael’s, we keep it simple<br />
and teach proper, ‘good, old<br />
fashioned’ maths. Our pupils<br />
are taught and have to learn<br />
basic facts, times tables and<br />
essential algorithm methods.<br />
We don’t bundle anything! Our<br />
parents can help their children<br />
with their maths homework,<br />
because they recognise it!<br />
This academic rigour then<br />
underpins our wider curriculums<br />
in History, Geography and<br />
Science. Spanish and, for the<br />
older pupils, Latin, offer the<br />
enrichment of learning another<br />
language and about another<br />
culture. IT literacy is taught,<br />
not assumed, and computer use<br />
is measured. We like teaching<br />
and talking to our pupils!<br />
A prep education offers<br />
balance. St Michael’s cultural<br />
and sports’ programmes<br />
further develop each child’s<br />
foundation, as creativity and<br />
problem-solving come in many<br />
forms. Specialist art and music<br />
classes are enjoyed weekly.<br />
Many pupils participate in<br />
individual instrumental, singing<br />
or speech & drama lessons with<br />
one of our ten itinerant staff.<br />
Our several choirs, Stage Band<br />
and Orchestra offer key early<br />
steps in group performance.<br />
Our senior programme,<br />
Parare, advances our Year 7&8<br />
education outside the box, from<br />
financial literacy to outdoor ed,<br />
leadership challenges to new<br />
sports, citizenship and civics to<br />
art and technologies.<br />
Nestled as we are on the<br />
banks of the Avon, opposite<br />
the Riverside Farmers’ Market,<br />
ST MICHAEL’S ALUMNI<br />
To help us celebrate <strong>17</strong>0 years of St<br />
Michael’s Prep School excellence at the<br />
heart of our city, alumni and former staff<br />
are warmly invited to contact us so we can<br />
share our anniversary plans with you.<br />
alumni@saintmichaels.co.nz<br />
St Michael’s extended campus<br />
is spectacular: the art gallery,<br />
museum, library, theatres and<br />
Hagley Park are frequent haunts<br />
only minutes away.<br />
Many of our parents work<br />
in the thriving city centre, and<br />
Lincoln and Riccarton Road<br />
hubs, but they live city-wide.<br />
They comment on the comfort<br />
of knowing their children are in<br />
school nearby and the benefits<br />
of popping over for an hour to<br />
catch a performance or watch a<br />
race.<br />
With the central bus exchange<br />
only a block away, senior<br />
children arrive from all corners<br />
of the city.<br />
An independent school<br />
education is a precious gift<br />
and it doesn’t have to break the<br />
bank. If you think a St Michael’s<br />
education would suit your<br />
child, you are warmly welcome<br />
to discover for yourself our<br />
purposeful, wholehearted and<br />
inclusive prep school.<br />
Our next Open Day is coming<br />
up, on Wednesday 3 March.<br />

between 9.00am – 4.00pm<br />

ESTUARY MATTERS<br />
NEWS 13<br />
Festival to celebrate the estuary’s beauty<br />
The Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust is a non-profit<br />
organisation formed to protect one of New Zealand’s most<br />
important coastal wetlands. Each week, board members will<br />
discuss matters regarding the estuary, its rich history and what<br />
makes it unique. This week Vicky Southworth writes about<br />
Estuary Fest that will be held on <strong>February</strong> 27.<br />
WHETHER CHOPPY water<br />
and dark brooding sky, or mirror<br />
smooth reflecting the bright<br />
blue of a summer’s morning,<br />
looking across the estuary to the<br />
mountains is a spectacular scene.<br />
I joined the Estuary Trust as<br />
the Environment Canterbury<br />
councillor representative just over<br />
a year ago. I have come to see the<br />
estuary as so much more than a<br />
picture-perfect landscape; it is<br />
home to many species, of which<br />
the birds are the most visible.<br />
Riding my bike along the<br />
Coastal Pathway, I can now name<br />
the birds I see, and know something<br />
about them.<br />
There’s the sharply dressed pied<br />
oystercatchers with red bill and<br />
crisp black and white attire – they<br />
take their time picking through<br />
the exposed shellfish beds at low<br />
tide.<br />
ACTIVITIES: Children taking part in past Estuary Fest<br />
events, there will be fun for all ages on <strong>February</strong> 27.<br />
The godwits in brown blend<br />
in but are worth a closer look for<br />
their unfeasibly long beaks. I love<br />
how the cormorants congregate;<br />
wings outstretched soaking up the<br />
sun after diving for fish.<br />
However, my favourite is the<br />
royal spoonbill which, in spite of<br />
its pure white feathers, reminds<br />
me of a bulldozer, head down<br />
trundling through the muddy<br />
shallows to feed.<br />
Go along to the annual Estuary<br />
Fest to celebrate the beauty of<br />
everything estuary; its wildlife, its<br />
beauty and the recreational opportunities<br />
provides.<br />
The free event will be held<br />
on <strong>February</strong> 27, 1-5pm,<br />
McCormacks <strong>Bay</strong> Reserve (turn<br />
right just before the causeway).<br />
There will be ample and<br />
controlled parking space, live<br />
music, pony rides, food stalls,<br />
children activities, native plants<br />
sale, several stalls providing you<br />
with information on everything<br />
estuary and so much more.<br />
When we call, hundreds<br />
of Kiwi businesses answer.<br />
At Fire and Emergency, 80% of our people are volunteers, many running or working at businesses<br />
just like this. In an emergency, their businesses proudly allow them to rush out and help.<br />

Technology boost for Kia Sorento<br />
THERE’S NOT a lot in an<br />
automobile that fazes me.<br />
As technology has advanced,<br />
I’ve usually embraced it. However,<br />
I was very reluctant to use the<br />
remote control function in Kia’s<br />
new Sorento.<br />
Put simply, you can drive the<br />
Sorento autonomously from the<br />
outside. Say it is jammed into a<br />
car park and you can’t access the<br />
driver’s door, you can start the<br />
vehicle with the key remote and<br />
drive it out of the car park. It will<br />
stop if it detects an object.<br />
While I applaud the concept<br />
and it is rather amazing, it just<br />
doesn’t seem natural for someone<br />
who always likes to be in total<br />
control behind the wheel.<br />
That’s just one of the many clever<br />
features in the new Sorento; it’s<br />
fair to say, though, that that function<br />
is only available in the top<br />
spec Premium model – as evaluated.<br />
The Sorento Premium could<br />
well be described as a premium<br />
car, it is a big sport utility vehicle<br />
absolutely crammed with features<br />
and built with high quality trim<br />
materials.<br />
The Sorento for <strong>2021</strong> is all-new.<br />
The fourth-generation model has<br />
a new platform, new engine and<br />
new styling, it’s quite a departure<br />
from its predecessor. However,<br />
none of the changes have altered<br />
the concept of Sorento because,<br />
as mentioned, it is big and fulfils<br />
many roles.<br />
There are four models in the<br />
range starting at $59,990, the<br />
Premium tops out at $76,990,<br />
with an EX sitting at $63,990 and<br />
Deluxe $69,990.<br />
All variants are powered by a<br />
2.2-litre diesel engine. Regular<br />
readers will remember that I<br />
wrote with enthusiasm about the<br />
R-Series diesel unit that powered<br />
Sorentos of the past. Well, that<br />
engine is gone, the new Smartstream<br />
diesel is a totally new<br />
development; as opposed to the<br />
iron-block R-Series, the newcomer<br />
is all aluminium and, of<br />
course, it has the benefit of being<br />
much lighter as well has having<br />
a heightened awareness around<br />
smooth and quiet operation. It is<br />
also incredibly efficient.<br />
Kia’s claims for the diesel<br />
are 148kW and 440Nm, both<br />
pumping out at low engine<br />
revolutions 3800rpm and<br />
<strong>17</strong>50-2750rpm for torque. It<br />
is also rated with an inspiring<br />
6.1l/100km combined cycle<br />
fuel usage average. The latter<br />
figure is no hurdle, during my<br />
highway run the readouts were<br />
listing at an amazing 4.5l/100km<br />
instantaneously at 100km/h<br />
(engine speed 1600rpm).<br />
When I returned the Sorento<br />
back to the dealership it was<br />
showing a 7.5l/100km combined<br />
average, which I thought was very<br />
CAPABLE: The Santa Fe’s four-wheel-drive system has been<br />
enhanced to take you further off-road.<br />
KIA SORENTO PREMIUM: Advanced features are incorporated into the range-topping<br />
model.<br />
respectable given the Premium<br />
spec model weighs in rather<br />
tubby at close to two-tonne.<br />
The other benefit is that of<br />
its 67-litre fuel tank, when I<br />
picked up the car it was showing<br />
a distance to empty figure of<br />
850km, that would stretch if a<br />
long highway run was planned.<br />
That’s the benefit of diesel,<br />
economy is spectacular and you<br />
lose nothing in the way of performance.<br />
The Sorento will accelerate<br />
to 100km/h from a standstill in<br />
8.9sec along with 6sec to make 80-<br />
120km/h. The latter figure has the<br />
benefit of that fabulous mid-range<br />
torque that big turbocharged<br />
diesel engines offer, response is<br />
lively and forceful, and those who<br />
can’t get their heads around diesel<br />
power don’t know what they are<br />
missing out on, the Sorento’s performance<br />
is fabulous.<br />
The engine is something special,<br />
the way it drives through an<br />
eight-speed dual clutch automatic<br />
transmission also contributes to<br />
the feel of sophistication. It, too,<br />
is smooth and quick to change.<br />
If you feel like overriding the<br />
changes or shift protocols, paddle-shifters<br />
allow you to do that.<br />
Not only does the new Sorento<br />
look smart and have power on<br />
its side, so does it cover distance<br />
and handle well beyond its design<br />
brief. Kia’s engineers have also<br />
• Price – Kia Sorento<br />

height, 1695mm<br />
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />

eight-speed automatic<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 8.9sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 6.1l/100km<br />
placed a greater emphasis on the<br />
four-wheel-drive mechanicals,<br />
the potential to travel cross-country<br />
has been enhanced, there are<br />
several drive modes that can be<br />
pre-selected depending on the<br />
surface ahead.<br />
The Sorento is all about<br />
transporting your family in<br />
comfort. The newcomer is larger<br />
than before, and the interior<br />
layout has been designed so that<br />
it is more practical than before.<br />
It is a genuine seven-seater, and<br />
for those assigned to the rear row,<br />
that area has been made even<br />
more spacious with easier access.<br />
Cargo space is generous, with<br />
the two rear rows folded there is<br />
up to 2011-litres available. With<br />
the rear rows in place 187-litres<br />
and 821-litres are available. In<br />
Premium form rich black leather<br />
is used as seat trim material.<br />
As you would expect, the new<br />
Sorento also has a higher level of<br />
fitment; comfort and convenience<br />
items abound, and while column<br />
space doesn’t allow major<br />
detailing, I must mention the<br />
large, wide central display panel/<br />
touch screen the functions and<br />
its capability are deep. Also, the<br />
Sorento has a significant number<br />
of new safety features.<br />
The Sorento has been a<br />
popular and important model<br />
for Kia New Zealand. It also has<br />
global popularity and Kia, as a<br />
manufacturer, has recognised<br />
that it needed to change with the<br />
times.<br />
That has certainly happened,<br />
and Kia won’t be sitting back<br />
resting on the success of the<br />
newcomer. The engineering<br />
changes that have been made<br />
to the fourth-generation model<br />
allow flexibility, soon there will<br />
be hybrid and plug-in models<br />
landing.<br />
It’s been a busy couple of<br />
years for Kia NZ, it has landed<br />
a succession of new models,<br />
and judging by the information<br />
coming out of the company, there<br />
are more exciting models on their<br />
way. If the Sorento is anything<br />
to go by, the Kia faithful will be<br />
well rewarded and those who<br />
do buy into the brand won’t be<br />
disappointed.<br />

Position Perfection<br />
64 Wakatu Avenue, Redcliffs 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 living, 1 dining, 4 car garaging<br />
A supreme park-side position provides a magnificent backdrop to this<br />
sizeable 70s home which offers an effortless lifestyle in Redcliffs.<br />
Boasting immediate access through to neighbouring Barnett Park, this<br />
property is well-positioned to embrace Redcliffs various offerings, with<br />
a mere stroll leading you to the beach, cafes and bars while in-zone<br />
Redcliffs School is also nearby.<br />
Superbly presented and meticulously maintained, this appealing<br />
family home is tastefully styled and has enjoyed refreshed flooring, an<br />
upgraded kitchen and refurbished bathroom over the past decade and<br />
a half.<br />
The expansive five-bedroom layout is arranged across two floors, with<br />
bedrooms and a bathroom on each for ultimate everyday ease. The<br />
home’s ground floor accommodation is ideal for teens, with a bathroom<br />
supporting the three bedrooms, two of which open out to a patio. An<br />
additional bathroom separates the two upper-level bedrooms which<br />
boast elevated views, one of which is the generously sized master.<br />
Large living spaces occupy the ground floor, including the kitchen,<br />
dining and lounge area as well as a sunroom that leads outdoors to<br />
the spacious deck and garden. A courtyard at the front of the section<br />
soaks up the morning sun to provide the perfect spot for enjoying your<br />
morning coffee.<br />
Extensive insulation, double glazing and a new log burner keep this sunbathed<br />
home incredibly comfortable throughout the seasons.<br />
Storage has been thoughtfully considered throughout, with a four-car<br />
garage, two garden sheds and on-site parking offering abundant space<br />
outdoors.<br />

location, and prospective purchasers are encouraged to act quickly.<br />

Repair, Rejuvenate or Redevelop<br />
16 Hurst Seager Lane, Sumner<br />
5 Bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 4 toilets, 2 living, 2 car garaging<br />
Enjoying an elevated position to take in unrivalled coastal views and set on<br />
a substantial parcel of land, this large family home tucked away at the end of<br />
a quiet cul-de-sac on Clifton Hill is offered to the market on “as is, where is”<br />
basis. With both the interior and exterior remaining true to its origins, the<br />
property represents a unique opportunity for a savvy buyer with vision and<br />
flair to repair, rejuvenate and reap the benefits.<br />
With double garaging on the ground floor, and living and accommodation<br />
arranged over two light-filled upper levels, the cleverly-configured floorplan<br />
has been designed to take full advantage of the spectacular outlook with<br />
sweeping views across the Avon-Heathcote Estuary to the Southern Alps<br />
from almost every room. Incorporating five bedrooms, three bathrooms plus<br />
a guest toilet, and a generously proportioned interconnected kitchen, dining<br />
and living space with adjoining study, the home will accommodate modern<br />
living with ease and with a multitude of flexible spaces, will appeal to those<br />
seeking to work from home.<br />
Rich with bird life and featuring easy-care plantings, the magnificent<br />
1.8-hectare section’s sloping gradient ensures you’ll never be built out and<br />
imparts a sense of space and seclusion while being just a few minutes’ drive<br />
from Sumner Beach and 20 minutes from the central city.<br />
Designed and built to our vendors’ specifications, this property has served as<br />
a very special family home for many years but with the decision to sell firmly<br />
made, this property is a must-see for buyers ready to tackle a new project.<br />
