Lyttelton man caught up 

in Covid hotel bus fiasco 

• By Andy Brew 

HAVING ESCAPED the 

turbulence of a Covid-ravaged 

UK, Lyttleton man Kian 

Malone expected his return 

home to be less, not more, 

traumatic. 

But as one of a group of 

returnees potentially exposed 

to the virus while in MIQ, he 

now faces a long wait in isolation 

– and deteriorating mental 

health. 

Malone (right)flew back to 

New Zealand on March 8, 2021 

and entered managed isolation 

at the Grand Mercure Auckland 

hotel for what was, initially, a 

routine stay. But, on the eve 

of completing his mandatory 

two-week stint, Malone was 

told that his stay in quarantine 

would have to be extended, 

as he had been on the same 

exercise bus as a Covid-positive 

case earlier that day. 

Because officials could not be 

sure where exactly the infected 

person sat on the exercise bus, 

all passengers were deemed 

close contacts and told they 

must stay in isolation for longer. 

Initially, Malone was told he 

would have to remain in isolation 

for a further “three to four 

days” while further tests were 

carried out. 

“I was gutted,” Malone said. 

“I was really looking forward 

to going to a café or bar 

and getting back to a sense of 

normality after a year of hell in 

England.” 

To make matters worse, 

however, Malone was then told 

that the brief extension to his 

stay would actually be stretched 

out even further and that all 

those on the exercise bus must 

stay in isolation until at least 

April 4, which for Malone was 

28 days after he first arrived. 

Bus journeys to off-site 

exercise areas have also been 

paused, and an investigation 

has been launched into the offsite 

exercise yards. 

It was the realisation that 

he faced a prolonged stay in 

isolation that hit Malone the 

hardest. 

“I was crestfallen,” he said. 

“My brain felt like it was 

caving in.” 

Malone’s four-week stay in 

MIQ comes on top of a 10- 

day isolation he underwent in 

London to ensure he met the 

strict criteria needed to fly.

Young surfers gearing up for the 

• By Samantha Mythen 

COMING OFF a fantastic 2020 

competitive surf season, the 

young club members of Point 

Surf Team are still taking to 

the sea to practice their surfing 

skills, getting ready for next 

summer. 

Point Surf Team is the local 

board riders club in the Sumner 

and Taylors Mistake area. There 

are 35 members under the age 

of 18, with 14 girls and 21 boys. 

About 100 young surfers compete 

competitively in Canterbury 

overall. 

Bay Harbour News chatted 

with the young surfers earlier 

this month hoping to get an 

insight on what drew them to 

surfing and what motivates them 

to keep working on their craft. 

For all of the young surfers, a 

passion for the long board runs 

in the family. 

Said 10-year-old Kobe: “My 

Dad is a surfer. He helped push 

me on to the waves.” 

Another 10-year-old, Bodhi, 

first started surfing when he was 

three. His mother’s surfer friend 

took Bodhi out on the board 

with him. 

Bodhi’s father pitched in 

to the story: “He scooped up 

Bodhi without him even 

knowing, chucked him on his 

board, paddled out and then

Clark are keen to show off their skills on the boards.

caught a wave.” 

Said Jet, 8: “My dad’s a good 

surfer and he pushed me on to 

a wave when I was about 4. We 

paddled out on his long board 

and he caught a wave with me.” 

Girls are also dominating the 

Sumner surf scene. 

The first time Amelie Clarke, 

12, went surfing was at a competition. 

Her parents both surf and 

they decided to enter Amelie, 

throwing her in the deep end. 

Now older and still in love 

with the sport, Amelie came 

first in the under 12 category 

of the Seventh Wave Women’s 

Canterbury Championships held 

in Sumner over the weekend of 

March 6. 

Tessa Langman, 12, started 

surfing when she was seven, inspired 

by her surfer father. After 

entering her first competition, 

she met Amelie and they have 

been surfing pals since. 

Langman said: “There are 

more young men surfing at the 

moment but a lot more girls are 

getting well into it which is really 

good.” 

Poppy, 12, and Olive, 14, love 

the social part of the competitions. 

“It’s a lot fairer and there’s 

a lot more female’s surfing now,” 

they said. 

Their father bought them 

both surfboards when they were 

three. Poppy came first in the 

under 14 category of the women’s 

champs. 

The training the youth do is 

vigorous, and it’s all on their 

own volition.

big waves 

Jet explained they mostly train 

weekly in the waves of Sumner 

and Taylors Mistake. They work 

with their coaches on creating 

goals they can work towards. 

Most try and surf every day if 

they can, showing boundless 

enthusiasm for the sport. 

“It could be wave counts, or 

carves, and we work on these 

throughout the sessions.” 

Jack said: “Taylors has the best 

waves in Christchurch with a 

nice cove beach.” 

Niwi Ututaonga, a volunteer 

coach with Point Surf Team, said: 

“These guys are really committed. 

They are always out practicing 

in the water and their results 

in the competitions show it.” 

Benji Lowen, 11, came first 

in the under 14 category of the 

Billabong Grom Series Competition 

held in Whangamata in 

February. 

Jack Tyro, 14, came second in 

the under 16 category. 

“We’ve got quite good surfers 

competing from Christchurch, 

but we’ve got competition too,” 

Jack said. 

Bodhi’s first competition was 

the Duke Festival of Surfing, held 

out in the windy waves of New 

Brighton beach over the second 

week of March. 

Prior to the competion, Bodhi 

said: “I’m excited and a little 

scared but I think I’ll give it a shot 

and it’s not really about competition, 

it’s about having fun.” 

The young surfers all offered a 

cool mature outlook when they 

explained what they get out of 

surfing. 

Ryder Townshed, 10, said: “I 

like being in the moment, all 

the adrenaline and if you win, 

you feel really stoked. If you don’t 

win, you just feel really stoked for 

the person who does win.” 

“I love the feeling of being 

in the water and having a little 

challenge. It’s fun with friends 

because it’s good company when 

you’re on the waves,” he continued. 

The best thing about surfing for 

them all is the freedom it offers. 

Said Kobe: “When you pop up, 

you don’t always know exactly 

what to do but you just do what 

feels right.” 

This idea was echoed by the 

others. 

“You’re so free. You feel like 

you can do whatever you want!” 

When the waves are big and 

the skies are foggy, they get nervous. 

Amelie is scared of sea creatures. 

Tessa is scared of seaweed. 

another is scared of stingrays. 

But nothing keeps them from 

loving the ocean and practicing 

their surfing as much as they can. 

They all say surfing offers them 

too many fun experiences to 

count. 

‘I felt like I’m losing my mind’ 

• From page 1 

“I will have been in isolation 

for almost six weeks by the time 

I’m due out. 

“I’m desperate to re-integrate 

back into society.” 

“I can’t even remember the 

last time I shook hands with 

somebody or gave out a highfive.” 

Malone, a primary school 

teacher, said he had spoken to a 

Ministry of Health nurse each 

day about his mental health 

situation. He said he had found 

himself drinking every day to 

offset the boredom and that his 

sleeping patterns had changed 

dramatically. 

“I feel like I’m losing my 

mind,” he said. 

“I don’t get up in the mornings 

anymore. The later I get up, 

the better, as it feels as though a 

third of my day is gone.” 

In spite of a traumatic few 

weeks, Malone had nothing but 

praise for the Grand Mercure 

Auckland hotel staff and was 

grateful to be back home in New 

Zealand having seen the chaos 

that Covid had caused overseas. 

“I’ve got to keep things in 

perspective,” he said. 

“I’m just looking forward to 

getting out there into a 

Covid-free society and being 

able to hug family and friends 

again.”

Life on the ocean wave suspended 

• By Samantha Mythen 

HELEN SHREWSBURY lives 

by the motto: ‘To discover new 

lands, you must first lose sight of 

the shore.’ 

“You have to take the risk to 

have the adventure,” she said. 

A year ago, Lyttelton residents 

Shrewsbury and her husband 

Stephen Prendergast, flew to 

England where they brought 

a yacht with the intention to 

explore the world on a two-year 

adventure leading them back 

home again. 

Unfortunately, Covid-19 took 

the wind from their sails and 

they are staying with Shrewsbury’s 

sister in the United Kingdom. 

Their first stop, France, is 

not allowing people from the UK 

into the country. 

The idea for the grand adventure 

was a collaboration between 

the couple. 

“I always had wanted to explore 

the South Pacific. Prendergast 

said he wanted to sail in the 

Mediterranean,” she said. 

“The idea to buy a boat in the 

UK and then sail through those 

places back to New Zealand, 

grew and morphed quickly from 

there.” 

Both in their 50s, they decided 

to sell up and make their dreams 

a reality. 

“I want to die with memories, 

not dreams,” Shrewsbury said. 

Cerulean, the boat they purchased 

once they arrived in the 

UK, is a 43ft MkIII Sea Stream, 

designed specifically for blue 

water – long distance -– sailing. 

At first sight, they fell in love 

with the design of it. 

The boat was originally customised 

by former BBC radio and 

television reporter Peter Snow. 

As a tall man, the boat was 

designed with 6.7ft of headroom 

– also perfect for Shrewsbury 

and Prendergast who are 6ft and 

over. Shrewsbury is in touch 

with Snow today. The boat 

was named after Snow and his 

wife’s love of Lake Cerulean in 

Canada. 

The rough plan was to sail 

around France, Spain and Portugal, 

across the Atlantic, down to 

the Caribbean, through Panama 

to the Galapogas Islands, then 

to explore around Tahiti and Fiji 

and land on Kiwi shores. 

“Unfortunately 2020 was not 

the best time to do it but we’ve 

just got to roll with the punches.” 

The sailing couple have not 

wasted their time though. In 

May, they sailed around the 

British Isles. 

“Luckily, we had few disagreements 

and really enjoyed each 

other’s company. It was a good 

tester for how we could cope,” 

Shrewsbury said. 

“It was wonderful sailing as 

it was all new to us both. It was 

also challenging with the new 

currents and tides and all the 

traffic to be aware of . . . there are 

huge wind farms, navy ships and 

we even saw a submarine.” 

“Nothing compares to sailing 

in New Zealand though.” 

In October, they removed their 

boat from the water and have 

began to prepare it for when they 

can depart. 

The sailing dream has been a 

lifetime in the making; boating 

and the ocean being the great 

passion of Shrewsbury’s life. 

Shrewsbury was born in 

Cambridge, England, “about the 

furthest you can get from the 

sea,” she said. 

In spite of being surrounded 

by rolling hills instead of crashing 

waves, Shrewsbury started 

sailing at the age of three and 

sailed almost every weekend 

during her childhood. 

It was a family affair. 

Sailing was something that her 

father had always wanted to try, 

and he rallied together his wife

Helen 

Shrewsbury 

and Stephen 

Prendergast

from the UK 

to Lyttelton 

when borders 

around the 

world reopen. 

and four daughters. 

Her father believed “a family 

that plays together stays together.” 

Their weekends and holidays 

were spent out in the ocean 

where the family competed both 

with each other and against each 

other. 

Said Shrewsbury: “I’ve been 

sailing all my life. 

“The connection you have and 

the memories you create with 

your family is something I feel 

incredibly lucky to have shared. 

We always have something to 

agree on or talk about.” 

While in Perth in 1987, watching 

the America’s Cup, Shrewsbury 

met her first husband, who 

was a Kiwi. 

At the end of the 1990s, 

Shrewsbury and her family, including 

her two young children, 

settled in Lyttelton. 

Prior to the move, Shrewsbury 

had visited Lyttelton to see a 

friend. As soon as she walked 

down the main street, she knew 

she wanted to make it her home. 

“I felt a connection with the 

place with has never ended. 

There is a special vibe there 

within the community,” she said. 

Shrewsbury brought up her 

family in the port and lived there 

for the next 20 years. 

She had numerous sailing adventures 

during this time, joining 

the Naval Point Yacht Club 

and racing a 22ft trailer-sailer 

every weekend. 

It was the lifestyle and the sailing 

environment which fuelled 

Shrewsbury’s sailing passion. 

“I love the challenge of sailing 

and the freedom I feel when I am 

on the water,” she said. 

“I can let go of any pressure or 

any stress. I feel myself relax.” 

Lyttelton Harbour is a special 

place for Shrewsbury. Almost 

every time she went out she saw 

dolphins. 

After her first marriage split 

up, Shrewsbury decided a change 

was needed and she wanted to 

discover new seas. 

“I spent a lot of time with 

my girlfriends sailing around 

the fantastic bays of the Banks 

Peninsula but I really wanted to 

go somewhere different, where 

I could continue to enjoy the 

beauty New Zealand has to 

offer,” she said. 

“I had to follow my dreams.” 

She moved her New Zealand-designed 

Whiting 29 boat 

to Auckland and then two years 

later, she met Prendergast. 

Prendergast had only been 

sailing once before, but Shrewsbury 

showed him the ropes. As 

the lead sailor, Shrewsbury has 

found it frustrating how she is 

treated as a woman. 

“It is unusual for the woman to 

be a sailor where the man isn’t,” 

she said. 

“Lots of people, particularly 

in the UK, find it difficult to 

accept.” 

In spite of leaving, Shrewsbury 

still has a strong connection with 

Lyttelton. 

She said: “I love going back to 

Lyttelton. I don’t feel like I have 

ever left. A sense of belonging is 

really hard to find but you could 

find it there. I’m really proud to 

have brought my children up 

there.” 

Shrewsbury and Prendergast 

were married in 2020 on Banks 

Peninsula. 

“We are looking forward to 

starting our journey back to New 

Zealand.” 

Shrewsbury said in their cabin, 

they have a photo taken by a 

friend of Mitre Peak in Fiordland. 

“It’s a reminder of the land 

we’re aiming for,” she said.

Pupils get virtual visit of Scott Base and 

SCOTT BASE’S oldest building, 

a hut built by a Sir Edmund 

Hillary-led team, visited Akaroa 

Area School on Friday, in virtual 

reality form. 

Developed in partnership 

with Auckland University of 

Technology, the virtual reality 

experience allows users to explore 

Sir Edmund Hillary’s hut 

in Antarctica. The experience 

provides insight into how the 

23 men of Sir Ed’s team lived 

and worked in the world’s most

60 years ago. 

The Antarctic Heritage Trust’s 

general manager operations

Eathorne, who oversaw the 

project development, hopes the 

VR tour inspires people to learn 

more about Antarctica and the 

nation’s most famous son. 

“Sir Ed’s hut is part of the rich 

history of Antarctic exploration 

and we will be taking this 

experience to as many students 

around New Zealand as we can. 

“Most people will never get 

the chance to visit Antarctica 

so virtual reality is a fantastic 

way to give people a glimpse of 

what it would be like to visit this 

special place.

Eathorne said. 

Hillary’s hut was Scott Base’s 

first building and was built by a 

team led by Sir Ed to support the 

Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic 

Expedition and the International 

Geophysical Year. 

The trust cares for this hut and 

four other historic expedition 

bases in Antarctica. It conserved 

Hillary’s Hut in time for Scott 

Base’s 60th anniversary in 2017. 

Users can tour the five rooms 

of the building, viewing hundreds 

of artefacts from the early 

years of New Zealand’s Antarctic 

programme. 

Ryman Healthcare is the principal 

sponsor for the project with 

Dulux New Zealand sponsoring 

the national tour. 

The Antarctic Heritage

not-for-profit with a vision of

than 20,000 artefacts left behind 

by Antarctic explorers, including 

Carsten Borchgrevink, Captain 

Robert Falcon Scott, Sir Ernest 

Shackleton and Sir Edmund

New Linwood pool on track 

for end of year opening 

LINWOOD’S NEW pool 

complex is starting to take shape. 

The walls and roof of Te Pou 

Toetoe: Linwood Pool have 

gone up and contractors, Apollo 

Projects Ltd, are now focusing 

on constructing the inside of the 

$22 million complex. 

All the pools are in place and

There will be a multi-use 25m 

lane pool, a deep-water manu/ 

splash pool, a family spa pool, 

learn-to-swim pool, and a pool 

for toddlers and water deck. It 

will also have community meeting 

rooms and a kitchen. 

“Work on the facility is progressing 

really well and we’re on 

track to have it open later this 

year,’’ city council head of recreation, 

sports and events Nigel 

Cox said. 

“We’ve started recruiting 

for team leaders for the facility 

and will advertise for frontline 

workers – lifeguards, fitness 

instructors and customer service 

people – in May and June. 

“We’re taking bookings now. 

Any groups that we haven’t 

already spoken to who are 

interested in booking space at Te

The Bravest Voices by Ida Cook 

This timeless memoir documents two sisters’ bravery leading up 

to WWII — a singular historical account that shines a light on 

one of humanity’s darkest hours. 

Ida and Louise Cook are two ordinary Englishwomen, 

seemingly destined never to stray from their quiet London 

suburb and comfortable jobs — Ida as a budding romance 

novelist and Louise as a civil service typist. But in 1923, 

a chance hearing of an aria from Madame Butterfly sparked 

a passion for opera in the sisters that led to the formation of 

friendships with some of Europe’s leading singers and their network, 

many of them Jewish. As the Nazis rose to power, Ida and Louise began 

working with the opera world’s insiders to save members of the community from 

persecution and death. Through ingenuity, thrift and bottomless goodwill, the sisters 

eluded the suspicion of the Nazis and helped secure safe passage for dozens of refugees. 

No one would have predicted such daring lives for Ida and Louise Cook — but that 

underestimation is exactly how they were able to save lives. 

First published in 1950, Ida’s memoir of the adventures she and Louise shared remains 

as fresh, vital and entertaining as the woman who wrote it, and is a moving testament to 

the extraordinary acts of courage by two everyday heroes. 

Sparks Like Stars by Nadia Hashimi 

Kabul, 1978: The daughter of a prominent family, Sitara Zamani lives a privileged life in 

Afghanistan’s thriving cosmopolitan capital. The 1970s are a time of remarkable promise 

under the leadership of people like Sardar Daoud, Afghanistan’s progressive president, 

and Sitara’s beloved father, his right-hand man. But the ten-year-old Sitara’s world is 

shattered when communists stage a coup, assassinating the president and Sitara’s entire 

family. Only she survives. 

Smuggled out of the palace by a guard named Shair, Sitara finds her way to the home 

of a female American diplomat, who adopts her and raises her in America. In her new 

country, Sitara takes on a new name—Aryana Shepherd—and throws herself into her 

studies, eventually becoming a renowned surgeon. A survivor, Aryana has refused to look 

back, choosing instead to bury the trauma and devastating loss she endured. 

New York, 2008: Thirty years after that fatal night in Kabul, Aryana’s world is rocked again 

when an elderly patient appears in her examination room—a man she never expected to 

see again. It is Shair, the soldier who saved her, yet may have murdered her entire family. 

Seeing him awakens Aryana’s fury and desire for answers—and, perhaps, revenge. 

Realizing that she cannot go on without finding the truth, Aryana embarks on a quest 

that takes her back to Kabul—a battleground between the corrupt government and the 

fundamentalist Taliban—and through shadowy memories of the world she loved and lost. 

Bold, illuminating, heartbreaking, yet hopeful, Sparks Like Stars is a story of home—of 

America and Afghanistan, tragedy and survival, reinvention and remembrance, told in 

Nadia Hashimi’s singular voice.

Dear friends of Aotearoa, 

To those of you who work at the ports, 

thank you. 

It’s been a tough twelve months. 

You know who you are. Every fourteen days, 

and sometimes every seven, you have had nasal 

swabs or throat swabs. Every day at work, you 

have worn PPE and kept physical distancing. 

You are the ones who have been at alert level 4 

every single day. 

You are the unsung heroes, who have 

unloaded the ships at our ports, kept goods 

on supermarket shelves and medical supplies 

flowing. Without you, we wouldn’t have had 

presents for Christmas, toys for our children’s 

birthdays, or chocolate for Easter. Without 

you, life would have been a whole lot harder. 

Thank you for your part in 

keeping New Zealand going.

COVID-19 

vaccine 

for border 

workers 

Over 230 frontline workers at 

LPC have now had their first 

dose of the COVID-19 Pfizer 

vaccine. 

LPC border workers including cargo 

handlers, marine pilots, security and other 

members of the team are some of the first 

essential workers in New Zealand to get 

vaccinated in the fight against COVID-19. 

The vaccine provides another layer of 

protection for our border workers, who 

remain focused on physical distancing, 

using PPE and masks and having increased 

hygiene and cleaning measures. 

Our border-facing staff are also 

continuing to undergo weekly and 

fortnightly COVID-19 testing, depending 

on their role. 

LPC foreman Robbie Winder, who had his 

vaccination in the first week of clinics, says 

he’s excited to be one of the first. 

“I’m happy to play my part to keep COVID-19 

out of the country. Getting the vaccine is really 

to support the wellbeing of New Zealand.” 

As part of Robbie’s role as a foreman, he is 

a main point of contact for foreign crew on 

vessels that visit the Port. 

“Every time there is a vessel in Port, there is 

a foreman on the ship, so I deal a lot with crew. 

“It’s great to have the vaccine to know that 

we are as safe as we can be out there and we 

can get on with our job.” 

“ I’m happy 

to play my 

part to keep 

COVID-19 out 

of the country. 

Getting the 

vaccine is really 

to support the 

wellbeing of 

New Zealand.” 

As more doses are made available, 

household contacts will also be eligible to 

get the vaccine. 

“I can’t wait for my whole family to get it. 

It’s a big step towards relieving the impact 

of COVID-19.” 

The vaccine clinics are held on site and 

run by Canterbury District Health Board 

who work with Pegasus Health to provide 

vaccination and testing clinics. 

With a second dose required three weeks 

after the initial shot, clinics will continue to 

be held in the coming months to cover LPC’s 

border-facing workforce.

OUR PEOPLE 

ENVIRONMENT 

Essential, 

proud, 

respected 

Here at LPC, we have a 

workforce of over 600 good 

sorts carrying out essential 

work for the Canterbury 

community, ensuring the 

goods you need keep moving. 

We chatted to skilled general 

hand Eamon O’Toole to find 

out more about why he enjoys 

working at LPC. 

OUR PEOPLE 

Port 

scholarship 

supports 

next step 

The winner of LPC’s Director 

scholarship, Charlotte Holt, 

is excited about the new 

opportunities that university 

will bring. 

The annual scholarship is awarded to the 

child of an LPC employee who is going into 

their first year at University of Canterbury. 

In February, Charlotte started study for a 

double degree in law and history. 

The scholarship was established after the 

Christchurch earthquakes in 2010 and 2011 

to recognise the hard work and commitment 

of LPC staff to keep operations running in 

difficult and uncertain times. 

What does your job involve? 

As a skilled general hand, we are involved in 

a wide range of jobs at LPC. I operate plant 

including the sweeper truck and mobile 

cranes. I am also a certified diver, so I work 

at the Dry Dock when they are switching 

vessels as well as around the wharves in 

the inner harbour. We also relieve in Marine 

when they are short staffed as a deckhand 

for the launch vessels. There isn’t much we 

can’t do! 

What’s the most unique part of your role? 

The variety of work is great. One day, I’ll be 

working on a digger in the morning, in a 

crane by lunchtime and in a punt in the 

afternoon. It keeps the job exciting. 

What challenges do you enjoy in 

your job? 

Things can change just like that. You can 

get asked to drop your work and head to 

a completely new job that needs urgently 

doing. 

What makes you proud to work at the Port? 

You don’t realise how much comes through 

the Port and how, without it, the rest of the 

city wouldn’t be able to function. From fuel 

to supplies, our job means that so many 

other people around Canterbury can carry 

on with theirs. 

Who or what inspires you? 

I am inspired by my workmates. We have 

a good team here, and they make this a 

great place to work. 

Charlotte’s father Chris Holt has worked 

at LPC since 2010 and is currently Scheduling 

Manager for the Container Terminal. 

“I’m extremely proud of Charlotte, she has 

worked very hard in the past couple of years 

and the scholarship provides a fantastic 

opportunity,” says Chris. 

“I’m really pleased she is going to the 

University of Canterbury and is already 

embracing uni culture with open arms.” 

Charlotte says she is nervous and excited 

about all the changes university will bring. 

“I’m looking forward to meeting new 

people, exploring the campus and learning 

more about the things I am passionate about. 

It’s scary, but it’s part of growing up.” 

Charlotte’s decision to study law and 

history came from a growing fascination 

with the subjects throughout high school. 

“I am definitely stronger at writing and 

loved my legal and psychology, history, 

classics and theology classes. 

“I think New Zealand history is important 

for everyone to learn as it helps shape our 

future.” 

The double degree will take about five 

years, and after that, Charlotte wants to get 

into social work and criminal justice. 

“A law degree is very versatile, and it’s a 

great base that can take me anywhere, but 

at the moment, I would like to work with the 

New Zealand prison system.” 

Charlotte wants to thank LPC for the 

scholarship and helping relieve the financial 

pressure of university. 

“This whole opportunity is a chance to 

learn more about LPC, and I am so proud 

of my dad for being part of the shipping 

industry as an essential worker. 

“After receiving the scholarship, [LPC CEO] 

Roger told me I was a part of the LPC family, 

and it’s great to know I have that support, 

tackling my first year of university.”

more dust deposition stations. These are 

essentially gauges that measure total dust 

levels over a given time period. Two stations 

have been situated in residential areas, and 

two are located on the coastal edge of the coal 

yard, where they will help us understand any 

potential impacts on the marine environment. 

What we’ve found so far 

We’re pleased to let the community know 

that data collected by the highly sensitive live 

monitoring station has shown that all dust 

levels, including coal dust, are sitting well 

below the National Environmental Standards 

for Air Quality for PM 10 and the proposed 

standards for PM 2.5 . That’s good news for 

human health as it shows that even very fine 

particles are at low levels. 

Our dust deposition stations have shown 

that dust levels have remained below the 

limits set by our existing resource consent. 

While this is a positive result, we would 

still like to hear from residents who might 

be experiencing dust so that we can take 

samples in order to identify the source. 

Please contact us at lpccommunications@ 

lpc.co.nz.

deposition stations and preliminary results 

from the live monitoring station at our

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 manager Tanya Jenkins writes 

about a trial to save native grass 

from extinction 

The estuary trust is not just encouraging 

estuary and wetland restoration projects 

for the protection of the many bird species 

we can find there. 

Healthy and thriving native plants are 

equally important, for example. Let’s look 

at a historically famous plant - the Cook’s 

Scurvy Grass, or known by its Maori 

name “Nau.” 

One of the famous stories of Captain 

James Cook was his ability to keep his 

crew relatively healthy by feeding them 

“greens” to ward off scurvy that killed so 

many sailors at the time. 

Captain Cook was renowned for his 

leadership skills, and in particular for 

sailing around the world without losing 

a single man to scurvy, for which he won 

the Copley Medal in 1776. 

He understood that fresh food, and 

in particular fresh greens, acted as an 

anti-scorbutic in keeping away the scurvy 

disease. 

Captain Cook and many other earlier 

sailors used to harvest huge amounts 

of this plant from New Zealand coastal 

areas. 

But due to coastal development, introduced 

plants and animals, this endemic 

(only found in NZ) plant is now classed as 

“threatened” and found only sporadically 

throughout the country. 

In fact, now such a concern for the 

threat of its extinction, that the Department 

of Conservation prepared a Threatened 

Plant Recovery Plan in 1998. 

By trialling the reintroduction of this 

plant in a number of potentially suitable 

areas it is hoped that it will re-establish 

itself. 

Now, why is the estuary trust so keen to 

share this information? 

Because we are so proud to be able to 

share that this plant has been introduced 

in the Charlesworth Wetland Reserve by 

ESTUARY MATTERS 

Fussy plant that has 

links to Captain Cook 

DOC as a trial, hoping it will survive and 

thrive here. 

And guess what? It’s working. The few 

introduced plants are doing well and is 

spreading. 

This fussy plant needs gravelled, open 

coastal areas, no competition from introduced 

weeds, and it needs to be occupied 

regularly by seabirds who leave the plant 

lots of guana, or bird poo, to feed on. 

The restored Charlesworth Wetland 

islands are now able to provide all this. 

The grass Captain Cook used to 

gather to help prevent scurvy on 

his ship.

ARA INSTITUTE OF CANTERBURY 

Flexible business 

courses at Ara 

Work, family and other commitments can 

sometimes feel like a barrier to study, but 

they needn’t be. Ara Institute of Canterbury’s 

business degrees and graduate diplomas come 

with a level of flexibility that make it possible 

to work, study and have a life. 

Part-time options and a choice of daytime or 

evening classes mean you can create a schedule 

that works for you. If you have pre-schoolers, 

Ara’s City campus offers two on-campus 

childcare options where your tamariki can be 

cared for while you attend daytime classes. 

Ara also offers comprehensive student 

support services, and its tutors are known for 

going above and beyond to ensure students 

achieve their study goals. Olivia Smith says she 

felt supported throughout her time at Ara. “The 

tutors were amazing – 100% supportive and 

they helped us every step of the way.” Fellow 

business student Rachel Fraser describes her 

tutors as “lovely” and says they cared about 

students’ wellbeing and education. 

As well as creating a flexible, 

supportive study environment, 

Ara offers extensive subject choice. 

Its business degrees and graduate 

diplomas come in a wide range of 

specialties including accounting, 

entrepreneurship, 

project 

management, operations and 

production management, human 

resources, strategic management, 

event management, marketing and 

sales and hospitality management. 

Originally from Italy, Anita 

Dazzi enrolled to study a Graduate 

Diploma in Business at Ara, specialising in 

human resources. 

“I chose Ara because it had really good 

graduate options and it’s very practical. I’d 

already studied for five years so I only wanted 

to study for one more year. I knew after a year 

I’d have a qualification and skills that I could 

start putting into practise.” 

At university, Anita recalls being among 

300-or-so other students in lectures. “The 

lecturers wouldn’t know if I was there or not, 

let alone know my name. At Ara, the tutors 

have a real ability to share their passion 

and engage students. They’re approachable, 

personable and always there to support you. 

If I had questions or I wasn’t able to attend a 

class because I was working, they were happy 

to meet me and go over what I’d missed.”

WINE 

Rose setting its own 

identity and style 

with grape combos 

• By Mark Henderson 

AS ROSE becomes more 

about its own identity 

and style, we are seeing 

less mention of the grape 

varieties that produce it. 

Two of today’s featured 

wines have chosen interesting 

grape combos, with the 

Brennan example utilising 

tempranillo and zinfandel 

(they are the only winery 

in Central Otago growing 

this latter grape), while 

the Helio is a tempranillo, 

montepulciano and cabernet 

franc blend. 

What might otherwise be 

a mouthful becomes simply 

rose, and is all the better 

for it. 

2019 Brennan 

Gibbston rose 

Price: $35 

Rating: Very good 

Subtle but attractive nose, 

flecks of strawberry and 

peach, a savoury nuance 

with stony salinity. 

A rush of sweet and sour 

on the palate, an almost 

tingly quality offers bracing 

refreshment, which softens 

over time. Dry, a savoury 

touch, running to a saltinflected 

close. 

Salinity more marked 

with time; would neatly 

cut through the fattiness of 

sausages off the barbie. 

www.brennanwines.com 

attractive creaminess building, 

making this round and 

supple. 

Hints of spice with a ripe 

cranberry/fruit pastille 

element carrying on to the 

long finish. 

Develops a grainy edge to 

the texture with time, adding 

palate interest. 

A lot of appeal here. 

www.rabbitranch.co.nz 

2020 Helio Hawke’s 

Bay rose 

Price: $25 (500ml) 

Rating: Excellent 

An intriguing scent of 

mixed white flowers and 

dried strawberry, time sees 

this open up adding savoury 

nuances and a brown 

bread-like note. 

Tangy palate, a savoury 

quality, quite dry, whipped 

into line by the zesty acidity. 

There’s a bittersweet edge 

to the finish which really 

gets the gastric juices going. 

More of a food style than a 

fruit bomb. 

www.helio.wine 

and good with food too. 

www.mahiwine.co.nz 

2020 Taylors 

Adelaide Hills pinot 

noir rose 

Price: $19.99 


Subtle nose of musk, 

strawberry and citrus zest, 

growing over time. 

There’s a suppleness to 

this, textural richness building 

as boysenberry, summer 

berries and orange citrus 

grow yet 

with 

a lovely tanginess on the 

close. 

Initially feels just off-dry, 

but feels drier as the acidity 

becomes more racy and a 

chalky phenolic note adds 

extra grip. 

Lots of appeal here.

Marlborough rose 

Price: $24.90 

Rating: Very good to

Brightly scented and 

boldly aromatic with lashings 

of strawberries and 

cream. 

Creamy entry, tangy, 

hitting the refreshment 

button. 

Bright acidity and a saline/sea-shell 

character. 

Fruit jube and mixed berries 

appear on the close. Really 

gets the salivary glands 

going. Warm day aperitif, 

Price: $34.99 


Boldly scented nose, 

musk, gum, dried 

strawberry, savoury 

elements, clotted cream 

with time. 

A rush of strawberry and 

berryfruit with stony/minerally 

nuances. 

With aeration there’s a 

little sea-salt entwined with 

a ‘sucking on hard candy’ 

thing going on. A cool 

touch to this. 

Good depth, nicely 

balanced and eminently 

drinkable.

Try this relatively quickto-assemble 

chicken pie 

— you can make it as one 

large family pie around 

eight individual pies. It will 

cook in around 90min. Or if 

you prefer a pork meal, our 

hoisin pork belly is a twist 

on this modern favourite. 

If the family needs more 

variety a seared beef salad 

or fish cakes could make a 

refreshing change 


FOOD 17 

Chicken pie will tempt the taste buds 

Chicken and cider pie 

Serves 6 

Ingredients 

2 tbsp oil 

2 boneless skinless chicken 

breasts, sliced or chopped into 

small pieces 

1 leek, sliced lengthwise then 

finely chopped 

1 medium apple, peeled, quartered 

and sliced 

1 carrot, peeled, sliced lengthwise 

and cut in thin semi-circular 

slices 

2 tbsp plain flour 

300ml apple cider 

1 tsp chicken stock powder 

½ tsp dried thyme or a few 

sprigs of fresh thyme 

a pinch of mixed herbs 

salt and pepper to taste 

1 x 400gm block or three sheets 

frozen flaky or rough 

puff pastry, defrosted 

1 tbsp wholegrain mustard beaten 

egg or a little milk to glaze 

Directions 

Preheat the oven to 210 deg C. 

Grease a pie dish if using. 

Heat one tablespoon of the oil 

in a large frying pan and seal 

the chicken in batches, stirring, 

setting each batch aside once it is 

sealed. Then add the remaining 

oil to the pan and, when heated, 

add the leek, sliced apple and 

carrot, and cook gently until the 

leek is softened. 

Return the chicken and any 

juices to the pan, then stir in the 

flour, mixing well. Add the cider 

a bit at a time, mixing it in with 

a wooden spoon so the flour 

doesn’t form lumps. 

When all the cider is added, 

sprinkle in the chicken stock and 

herbs and stir in the mustard. 

Simmer gently until the liquid 

has almost evaporated, season 

with salt and pepper and allow 

to cool. 

If using a pie dish, roll out 

enough pastry to line the base. 

Use the rolling pin to lift the pastry 

and press it gently into the tin 

with your fingers. Spoon in the 

cooled filling. Roll the remaining 

pastry to make a lid. Brush the 

pastry edges with water, then 

place the lid on top. 

Use a sharp knife to neatly 

trim the edges, then pinch, crimp 

or use a fork to press all the way 

around the edge to fuse the pastry 

together. Use any trimmings 

for decorations; a dab of water 

will make them stick. Brush the 

pie or pies with beaten egg or a 

little milk. 

Bake for 35-45min until golden 

and crisp. This filling can also 

be used for pasties or turnovers. 

Hoisin pork belly 

Serves 4 

Ingredients 

500-600gm boned pork belly 

roast 

1 tbsp canola oil 

fresh flaky sea salt 

2 tbsp hoisin sauce 

1 tbsp lightly toasted sesame 

seeds 

Directions 

Preheat oven to 220 deg C. 

If using a traditional pork belly 

roast, remove skin. While roast 

is cooking, rub skin with oil and 

grill to make crackling. 

Trim any excess fat off roast, if 

preferred. 

Brush with oil and rub with sea 

salt. 

Cover with baking film. Place 

pork in an oven pan. 

Roast for 30min at 200 deg C 

then reduce the temperature to 

170 deg C and continue roasting 

until cooked, about 30min. This 

will depend on thickness. The 

internal temperature should be 71 

deg C. Cover and rest for 10min 

before serving. 

Brush pork with hoisin sauce 

and sprinkle with sesame seeds. 

Seared beef and couscous 

salad 

Serves 4 

Ingredients 

500gm beef fillet 

1 tsp ginger 

2 cloves crushed garlic 

2 tsp brown sugar 

1 tbsp oil 

200g couscous 

500ml chicken stock 

1 red onion, sliced 

½ red pepper, sliced 

200gm pumpkin, sliced 

½ tsp turmeric 

1 tsp coriander 

½ tsp cumin 

2 tbsp olive oil 

100gm beans, blanched 

1 cup fresh herbs, chopped 

roughly 

Dressing 

2 tbsp Lemon juice 

2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce 

2 tbsp olive oil 

This chicken pie filling can also be made 

into individual pies, pasties or turnovers. It’s 

not too late in autumn to try a seared beef 

and couscous salad. 

Directions 

Place the beef in a small bowl. 

Add ginger, garlic, brown sugar 

and 1 tablespoon oil. Combine 

well and set aside for 20min or 

until ready to cook. 

Cook couscous in the 

chicken stock following packet 

instructions. 

Heat oven to 180 deg C. Place 

red onion, pepper, pumpkin, 

turmeric, coriander, cumin and 

paprika on an oven tray. Toss in 

the 2 tablespoons of oil and bake 

for 20min until slightly brown 

and cooked through. 

Heat a pan to a high heat and 

sear beef on all sides and place in 

the middle of the vegetables. This 

will also take 20min. Remove and 

rest for 10min. 

In a large bowl, mix couscous 

with dressing and gently add 

vegetables. 

Place on a platter. Slice beef and 

arrange with the salad. 

Smoked fish and kumara 

hash cakes 

Serves 8 

Ingredients 

2 tbsp butter 

700g kumara 

2 lemons 

400gm smoked fish 

4 spring onions 

¼ cup fresh parsley 

1 to dust flour 

2cm oil 

Directions 

Peel and cut kumara into 

chunks and cook in boiling salted 

water until tender. Drain well 

and coarsely mash with melted 

butter and the juice of 1 lemon. 

Set aside to cool. 

Combine flaked fish with 

kumara, finely chopped spring 

onions and parsley. Season well 

with salt and pepper. Form 

mixture into eight patties. Dust 

patties with flour. 

Heat a nonstick frying pan 

with a little oil and gently fry fish 

cakes over a medium heat for 

three to four minutes on each 

side until golden brown. Serve 

with lemon wedges.

Toyota Supra – return of a true icon 

I KNOW MY son regrets selling 

his Toyota Supra. You see, it 

was a rare targa top model, 

twin turbocharged and it had 

had a manual transmission 

conversion. 

He still talks about that car 

with much enthusiasm, and from 

my time driving it I can recall it 

was a ferocious, wild beast, hard 

to tame but immense fun at the 

same time. 

It was one of the last Supras 

Toyota made, until now. 

Well, you could be forgiven 

because the new Toyota Supra 

isn’t entirely a Toyota, it’s been 

developed in conjunction with 

BMW and even gets a BMW 

engine. What’s more, the sleek, 

sporty, very desirable body shell 

sits on a BMW Z4 platform and is 

built in Graz, Austria. 

I’m not knocking that concept, 

and it’s not the first Toyota 

collaboration that has been 

successful, take its 86 sport 

coupe, it was shared with Subaru 

and has gone on to claim healthy 

sales amongst a wide buyer 

demographic. 

The Supra, though, is 

something else. It’s a car for those 

who want a little more grunt in 

their sports car purchase, and 

being built under the influence 

of Toyota’s vast manufacturing 

machine you can guarantee 

it’s going to last you for many 

years to come and will be totally 

reliable along the way. 

Much like it was with my son’s 

Supra, it was bullet-proof, no 

matter how hard it was driven. 

The newcomer is a touch of 

class, its looks stunning, low, sleek 

and sharp and is every inch the 

desirable two-seater coupe you 

would expect wearing that badge. 

Under the skin there’s no 

mistake it has a lot of BMW 

input, the controls, displays 

and materials are much the 

same as you would find in other 

models from the German brand. 

Nevertheless, I’m hooked. It’s the 

best of both worlds really. 

The Supra lands here at 

$98,990, and to me that’s a bit of a 

sports car bargain, the evaluation 

car was a limited edition high 

spec variant that added an extra 

$1000. 

Buyers of the Supra will also 

want performance, and I’m 

pleased to report that the 3-litre 

engine is true to the design of 

the past. There are six-cylinders 

boosted by a twin-scroll 

turbocharging arrangement. 

Toyota claims power outputs of 

285kW and 500Nm, the torque 

figure available all of the way 

from 1800 to 5800rpm. If these 

outputs look familiar, yes they 

are the same as Z4 and the 340i 

wagon that I evaluated in these 

columns recently. 

I recall saying that engine was 

an absolute dynamo in terms 

of strength, it is responsive and 

constantly wanting to work hard. 

The Supra will lunge from 

a standstill to 100km/h in a 

blistering 4.1sec, and will push 

through a highway overtake 

in 3.8sec (80-120km/h). These 

are quick times and will satisfy 

any driver who likes to feel the 

urgency of a genuine sports 

vehicle. 

What’s more, the engine is 

quiet and smooth, it howls a 

little towards the redline but 

that’s a traditional six-cylinder 

characteristic, and a Supra buyer 

would like to have the sound of 

energy. 

Drive is through an eight-speed 

automatic gearbox, there are few 

surprises there, quick, clean shifts 

are on offer, and there are paddle 

shifters if you want to change 

manually. 

Power is then channelled 

rearwards, and the feel you get 

from that is traditional, there’s 

something about the push you 

get from the rear wheels and, for 

that matter, the Supra delivers a 

forceful feel and sitting almost 

above the rear axles all that 

movement and feel is delivered to 

the driver. 

I took the evaluation car on 

my favourite Canterbury high 

EYE-CATCHING: Low, sleek lines of the new Supra compares well to the 1999 Kiddie-owned targa top. 

• Price – Toyota Supra, 

$99,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4379mm; width, 2026mm; 

height, 1292mm 

• Configuration – Sixcylinder, 

rear-wheel-drive, 

2998cc, 285kW, 500Nm, 

eight-speed automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 4.3sec 

• Fuel usage – 7.7l/100km 

country run. The Supra feels 

tight on the road and although 

the spring and damper rates are 

firmish there is still on board 

compliance, you don’t get tired or 

sore sitting in it for long periods, 

it just feels so right, it is balanced 

and controllable. 

Sure, there are extensive 

traction control systems, but they 

aren’t put to the test. Huge rear 

Michelin Pilot tyres (275/35 x 

19in) have grip in abundance and 

it’s actually quite hard to make 

the rear playful while turn-in 

up front is direct and feedback 

of what the tyres are doing in 

relation to the road surface is 

TOYOTA 

SUPRA: 

BMW 

technology 

used 

throughout. 

communicated fully. 

Powering out of some of those 

tight corners, the rear squats and 

grips,propulsion is mustered in 

quickly, and if you need to stamp 

on the brakes for the next corner 

a premium Brembo system 

generates huge stopping force. 

You could well be excused for 

thinking all of this fun comes at 

the price of fuel use. Instead, you 

may well be surprised, Toyota 

claims a 7.7-litre per 100km 

combined cycle average, much 

the same as BMW claims with 

the Z4. 

My time with the test car was 

surprising given I did explore 

high revolutions on many an 

occasion, it went back to the 

dealership showing 8.6l/100km 

on the readout. For the record, 

at 100km/h the engine is turning 

over at just 1600rpm, merely 

sipping fuel at the rate of just 

5l/100km. 

There’s nothing quite like 

the feel of a turbocharged sixcylinder 

engine, I’ve hung on to 

my trusty old Toyota in the event 

finances would allow that to 

become a project whereby I could 

afford to hook a turbo kit onto 

that engine, it’s the same design as 

my son’s old Supra. 

I’ll never be able to afford 

a new Supra, but I consider 

myself privileged to have had 

a week with the evaluation car, 

it certainly is something very 

refreshing and is a car you would 

never tire of. 

However, you may tire of the 

attention you will receive, never 

before have I been in a car that 

has received so much comment 

and adoring looks.

Get your Home insulated! 

Handy Hint: 

Without ceiling insulation, up to 

30% of your homes heat can be 

lost through your roof. Installing 

ceiling insulation will help keep

and cooler in Summer. It can also 

help reduce your power bills.
