Helping budding surfers D H I to hang 10 

• By Samantha Mythen 

MAKING SURFING accessible 

for everyone is the aim of a new 

project starting in Sumner. 

The Goat Shed is an 

initiative led by friends Lucas 

Sampaio and Carlos Alonso. 

They are beginning to build 

surfboards, with the goal of 

creating a surfboard lending 

library. 

The project combines Sampaio 

and Alonso’s passion for 

surfing, art, creativity, design 

and engineering. 

When the Government announced 

the country would be 

going into lockdown last year, 

Alonso bought all the materials 

he would need to be able to 

make a surfboard. 

He knew it was likely that 

surfing would not be permitted 

but still wanted to connect with 

surfing in some way, having 

engaged with the sport since he 

was six-years-old. 

Sampaio also bought supplies 

to try and shape a surfboard 

from scratch, something he had 

never done before. 

After the lockdown, the two 

formed a team. 

“Then we had an idea 

thinking it would be cool if we 

could make more surfboards. 

But we thought, we cannot try 

out and use all of the boards 

we make ourselves, and where 

would they all go anyway,” 

Sampaio said.

THE BANKS Peninsula 

community has banded together 

to speak out against the upcoming 

removal of pine trees on Moepuku 

Peninsula. 

They fear the removal will result 

in high levels of sedimentation 

entering Lyttelton harbour, 

which will adversely affect the sea 

environment. 

Charteris Bay Residents 

Association chairman, Mike 

Pearson, alongside the Diamond 

Harbour Community Association, 

has approached the city council 

and Environment Canterbury on 

behalf of those concerned. 

Pearson said he understood the 

trees were originally planted by a 

former owner of the land Patrick 

Cotter to stabilise the ground soil, 

not for forestry. 

The peninsula has 5km of sea 

to land borders with access to 12 

beaches. 

Of the peninsula’s 68.88ha, 

50ha is planted with pinus radiata, 

which were planted between 1981 

and 1985.

• From page 1 

He believes the planting of 

the trees was authorised by the 

now amalgamated Mt Herbert 

County Council, approving it as 

a soil conservation forest. This 

was confirmed by David Collins, 

a former chairman of the county 

council. 

Said Pearson: 

“Our view is, if 

the pines have 

not been planted 

for forestry but 

for soil stabilisation, 

that’s what 

it should be there 

for.” 

Pearson said 

Pearson 

the original planting was not for 

commercial purposes and yet it 

is now going to be commercially 

logged. 

“This would be ultra vires with 

respect to the Resource Management 

Act.” 

When submitting their letter 

to ECan, Pearson also attached 

a legal opinion, which states 

the harvesting should not commence 

prior to consents under 

subsection 13-15 of the RMA 

being obtained. 

These subsections relate to 

restrictions on use of riverbeds 

and coastal water and discharge 

of contaminants into an environment. 

ECan told Bay Harbour News 

its legal team will respond to the 

letter this week. 

The associations have consistently 

run community clean-ups 

and ensure residents are aware 

of planting to prevent sedimentation. 

“We have always been supportive 

of Healthy Harbour 

work and have seen much improvement 

in water quality over 

the years. We do not want this 

all to be in vane,” Pearson said. 

“Just this week, I saw a sea

horse and I haven’t seen one

The area adjacent to the peninsula 

at the head of Charteris Bay 

is a breeding area for rig shark. 

The harbour is also a habitat and 

exploring ground for hectors 

dolphin, flounder, stingrays and 

orca. 

“When the sedimentation enters 

the harbour, all of this will 

be severely impacted,” Pearson 

said. 

The group has questioned the 

sedimentation plan in place, 

stating it is not robust enough. 

Its concerns relate to whether 

any sedimentation controls will 

be put in place and how the sedimentation 

will be monitored. 

It has also asked about a 

mitigation plan for the effects 

of future landslides into the 

harbour as a result of the pines 

being removed. 

Representatives discussed 

these concerns at the Banks 

Peninsula Community Board 

meeting last Monday. 

As a result, the board will 

write to ECan on behalf of the 

community, sharing its concerns. 

“We need to make sure ECan 

has controls in place and procedure 

is being followed,” board 

chairwoman Tori Peden said. 

“I understand the 

communities fear that their 

healthy harbour will be 

jeopardised.” 

ECan Banks Peninsula Zone 

lead Gillian Jenkins said the 

logging is a permitted activity 

and they will be monitoring the 

harvest to ensure provisions 

under the National Environmental 

Standards for Plantation 

Forestry are met. 

Said Pearson: “We are really 

proud of our harbour and want 

it to be protected.”

Gulf Wars 

How We Kept The Cup 

by richard Gladwell 

Gulf Wars is a pictorially driven celebration of Emirates Team New Zealand’s 

America’s Cup win in Auckland 2021, written from an on the water perspective 

by one of the world’s most influential America’s Cup photo-journalists, 

Richard Gladwell. 

Richard Gladwell is an international sailing journalist and photographer who 

lives in New Zealand. He began sailing when he was ten years old and first 

wrote about the America’s Cup five years later. A Kiwi representative sailor, 

he competed internationally in dinghies and keelboats for 12 years, sailing 

with and against some of the current senior members of Emirates Team New 

Zealand. He has covered the America’s Cup and Team New Zealand in its 

various renditions for the past 35 years. 

Between Five Eyes 

50 years of Intelligence Sharing 

by Anthony r. Wells 

UK/US intelligence and the wider Five Eyes community of Canada, Australia and New 

Zealand is primarily about one main thing: Relationships. In this remarkable book, 

Anthony Wells charts fifty years of change, turmoil, intense challenges, successes and 

failures, and never-ending abiding Five Eyes relationships. He traces the development 

of institutions that he firmly believes have sustained, and indeed may have saved, 

Western democracies and their allies from those ill disposed to the value system and 

culture of our nations. More than a chronology of the UK/US intelligence community 

during this fifty-year period, it is also a personal insight into key relationships and the 

abiding strength of the United States and the United Kingdom and its Five Eyes allies 

relationships. The author is the only living person to have worked for British Intelligence 

as a British citizen and US Intelligence as a US citizen. He was a fully trained and 

accredited security officer for two US intelligence organizations, and used his own 

extensive unclassified collection of papers, personal notes and diaries, as well as his 

family library for source material to create this book. 

A Nurse’s Story 

by Louise Curtis with Sarah Johnson 

Moving, honest and inspiring – this is a nurse’s true story of life in a busy A&E department 

during the Covid-19 crisis. 

Working in A&E is a challenging job but nurse Louise Curtis loves it. She was newly 

qualified as an advanced clinical practitioner, responsible for life or death decisions 

about the patients she saw, when the unthinkable happened and the country was hit by 

the Covid-19 pandemic. The stress on the NHS was huge and for the first time in her 

life, the job was going to take a toll on Louise herself. 

In A Nurse’s Story she describes what happened next, as the trickle of Covid patients 

became a flood. And just as tragically, staff in A&E were faced with the effects of lockdown 

on society. They worried about their regulars, now missing, and saw an increase in 

domestic abuse victims and suicide attempts as loneliness hit people hard. By turns 

heartbreaking and heartwarming, this book shines a light on the compassion and 

dedication of hospital staff during such dark times. 

The Auschwitz Photographer 

Based on the true story of Wilhelm Brasse 

by Luca Crippa and Maurizio Onnis 

When Germany invaded Wilhelm Brasse’s native Poland in 1939, he was asked to swear 

allegiance to Hitler and join the Wehrmacht. He refused. He was deported to Auschwitz 

concentration camp as political prisoner number 3444. A trained portrait photographer, 

he was ordered by the SS to record the inner workings of the camp. He began by taking 

identification photographs of the prisoners as they entered the camp, went on to capture 

the criminal medical experiments of Josef Mengele, and also recorded executions. 

Between 1940 and 1945, Brasse took around 50,000 photographs of the horror around 

him. He took them because he had no choice. 

Eventually, Brasse’s conscience wouldn’t allow him to hide behind his camera. First he risked 

his life by joining the camp’s Resistance movement, faking documents for prisoners, trying 

to smuggle images to the outside world to reveal what was happening. Then, when Soviet 

troops finally advanced on the camp to liberate it, Brasse refused SS orders to destroy his 

photographs. ‘Because the world must know,’ he said. 

Crusade On! 

Celebrating 25 years Of The Crusaders 

By Matt McIlraith 

The Crusaders are not just another sports team. Out of a modest beginning grew the 

most formidable professional club entity rugby has ever seen. Yet sustained on-field 

excellence is just part of the story of a team that succeeded by living its stated ethos of 

hard work, the embracement of diversity, and a commitment to represent its people with 

pride and humility. Join the crusade as Matt McILraith takes you inside the club’s first 

25-years, dissecting the key moments, the successes and the rare failures, complete with 

season analysis, biographies of all 245 players, and the five head coaches, as well as 

statistics from all 370 games the team played. A 360-degree portrait, Crusade On also 

introduces some of the larger-than-life personalities, from within the team and off the 

field, all of whom helped to make the Crusaders what they are. The way the Crusaders 

accomplished their success, with no one person more important than any other, and 

the enduring culture they created to sustain it, is an example of continued achievement 

that is as relevant for the boardroom as it is for the sporting arena. On-going success in 

any pursuit is not achieved by accident. This is why the Crusaders’ story is so important.

Approval given to 

progress wharf upgrade 


THE DIAMOND Harbour 

Wharf upgrade project has been 

given approval to progress to the 

next stage. 

Last Thursday, the city 

council’s Transport and Urban 

Development Committee made 

the decision allowing the project 

to move ahead to the detailed 

design phase. 

This phase will allow for detailed 

cost estimates. 

Banks Peninsula councillor 

and Deputy Mayor Andrew 

Turner said preliminary 

estimates during the concept 

development have indicated the 

project will be delivered within 

the existing budget. 

After the design phase has 

been completed, a contractor for 

construction will be procured 

and then construction on the 

wharf will begin. 

Said Turner: “After some time 

in the planning it is great to 

see this much needed upgrade 

happening. This is a significant 

improvement to accessibility and 

public safety – great news for the 

community and for ferry users.” 

Said Diamond Harbour Community 

Association chairman 

Nathan Graham: “The association 

is very happy that the wharf 

will be more accessible to those 

with young children, the elderly 

and others who struggle with 

accessibility.” 

A time line on how the project 

will commence is yet to be 

released. 

• From page 1 

“I’ve always wanted to be 

involved in the community and 

then we came up with the idea 

for the library of boards, and 

lending them out to the community.” 

Said Alonso: “We realised this 

was something we wanted to 

keep doing. We are enjoying the 

process and pushing each other. 

It’s hard work but trying out the 

boards makes it all worth it.” 

The idea is that people will be 

able to borrow a surfboard for a 

koha. 

“People can’t always afford a 

board, plus the library would 

mean people can try out and 

experiment with different styles 

of boards,” Sampaio said. 

Alonso explained they had 

brainstormed the idea that if 

people liked a surfboard they 

tried, they could then buy the 

board for a low cost price covering 

the materials for the board 

and the materials for another 

board to then be made for the 

library. 

“It’s not just about us making 

the boards, but we want it to be a 

community initiative. We would 

love for people to provide feedback 

on the boards too,” said Alonso. 

The Sumner Hub is home to

Initiative to benefit community 

It is a non-profitable project, 

and the two men are currently 

spending mostly their own money 

and time to fund the venture. 

The project is in its early stages 

and they are currently shaping 

their first few surfboards. 

In the meantime, they are thinking 

of offering to repair boards 

to bring in more income to help 

develop the project further. 

Said Sampaio: “We want people 

to believe in us and to do that 

we have to show we are doing

THIS YEAR’S Single Fin Mingle 

event for women features 33 

longboarders. 

The high number of entries 

compares well to the 48 who have 

entered the men’s event. 

Event founder Ambrose 

McNeil said: “There are some 

amazing female surfers and we 

want to support them and ensure 

women’s surfing will keep being 

increasingly promoted.” 

The event always awards equal 

prize money for both the male 

and female surfing categories. 

This happened even before 

the World Surf League started 

to offer equal prize money to its 

female competitors in 2019. 

Several Sumner women will 

be competing including Brittany 

Andrews and Lili Bay. 

Andrews has been surfing for 

most of her life, thanks to her 

dad. 

“He has surfed for 40-plus 

years, so being his only child I 

had no choice,” she said. 

“The first time I went surfing 

was in a competition when I was 

super young, he just entered me 

in it for a laugh I think.” 

She began to specialise in longboarding 

with again motivation 

from her dad, the longboarding 

community and the Mingle 

crew. 

“For me longboarding is quite 

relaxing . . . being able to cruise 

along the waves brings a big 

sense of calm and connection to 

the ocean,” said Andrews. 

The Mingle is Andrews’ favourite 

event of the year. 

“Everyone is supported and 

welcomed no matter if you surf 

or not. The inclusion of everyone 

and love shown makes it so 

special.” 

Bay has competed in the event 

since its beginnings in 2014. 

“It’s always awesome to surf in 


the competition and it has been 

incredible seeing it grow over 

the years with the whole Sumner 

community getting involved,” 

she said. 

“I watch in awe as it unfolds. 

The competition is always the 

small part, the biggest and best 

part is having fun with friends.” 

Bay moved to New Zealand 

with her family from Germany 

when she was 13. The first thing 

her family did was try surfing. 

SKILLED: 

Brittany 

Andrews 

shows her 

longboarding 

talent. 

The longboarding community 

and its surf has inspired Bay’s 

own interest in the style. 

“The beauty about longboarding 

is that it is a completely even 

playing field between men and 

women as it is about grace and 

style more than force and energy,” 

she said. 

“Many of my friends are beautiful 

longboarders and everyone 

has a different aesthetic and style 

that they bring into their surfing 


NEWS 7 

Longboard competition attracts 33 women 

that can’t be compared with each 

other.” 

Surfing New Zealand general 

manager Ben Kennings said: “I 

think a lot of females love the 

longboard and can enjoy it whatever 

the wave. It offers a lot more 

opportunities to get in the water.” 

Both Andrews and Bay love 

the surfing community, especially 

the women who make up a 

large portion of it. 

“I feel lucky for this community. 

I am grateful that so many 

women here are into it. I know 

other wahine around Aotearoa 

don’t have the same sense of 

community we experience here, 

again we have events like the 

Mingle to thank for that, there is 

always a big turnout of women 

longboarders that come which 

creates a bigger sense of community 

and empowerment for 

women,” Andrews said. 

Bay explained she had never 

felt a disadvantage as a woman 

surfing in Sumner but had heard 

about struggles of other female 

friends in places around the 

country. 

“I feel really lucky. I’ve never 

felt out of place,” she said. 

“It’s cool to see so many girls 

surfing in Sumner, especially 

seeing the increase over the last 

few years.”

Celebrating surfing, music and culture 


CELEBRATION TIME: The Single Fin Mingle festival starts 

on Thursday with two musical events planned for the 

weekend featuring Kiwi talent There’s a Tuesday and Jed 

Parsons. 

SINGLE FIN Mingle founder 

Ambrose McNeil is quarantining 

in managed isolation before 

heading to Sumner, to run the 

longboard surfing event. 

The four-day festival celebrates 

a love of longboarding which 

will run from Thursday to 

Sunday this week and is in its 

seventh year. 

McNeil is most looking forward 

to seeing the community 

come together to celebrate and 

have a good time at the Mingle. 

“It is pretty special to be able 

to bring friends from around the 

country and the Sumner community 

together to participate in 

the competition plus do all the 

fun things.” 

Sumner is the best place to run 

the event, McNeil said. 

Although the waves are not always 

the greatest, the enthusiasm 

from the community makes the 

event so special. 

“The community there are 

so supportive and tight-knit. 

There are great venues, a beautiful 

theatre, amazing bars and 

restaurants, surf clubs. The local 

businesses really get behind the 

event,” McNeil said. 

The biggest hurdle for this 

year’s Mingle for McNeil has 

been actually getting back to 

Sumner, having lived in Australia 

for the past five years. 

“It was touch and go for a 

while there,” McNeil said, booking 

a spot in managed isolation 

proving to be quite difficult. 

He is only allowed to leave isolation 

the day before the event starts. 

The core of the event is the 

longboarding competition. 

Although the competition is 

divided by gender, there are no 

age categories, with the youngest 

competing 14 and the oldest in 

their 60s. 

“What makes longboarding 

special is that is spans a full age 

and gender divide, we can all 

chat about the same thing, no 

matter your background.” 

It is an invitational festival 

meaning you have to be invited 

to participate. 

McNeil said: “The idea behind 

this was to make it prestigious 

so we can showcase world-class 

longboarders.” 

McNeil and a few others across 

New Zealand scout out potential 

participants at surfing competitions, 

look for people who stand 

out at local beaches and find 

others through word of mouth. 

But it is not meant to be an 

exclusive event. 

“Half of it is how good you are; 

the talented longboarders who 

put effort into perfecting the fine 

art of this traditional style of 

PHOTO: JONATHAN SMIT 

surfing,” McNeil explained. 

“The other part of the criteria 

is just being a cool, laid-back, 

good person.” 

The event has developed in 

many different ways each year. 

In the early days of the Mingle, 

its biggest party held 100 people 

at a local venue. 

This year, it is building its own 

venue in the Sumner Village 

Mall which can hold 800. 

The event has also extended an 

extra day and night with more 

going on throughout the days. 

There are two musical soirees 

showcasing local musicians such 

as There’s a Tuesday; a film gala 

of surf cinematics, and an art 

show at LEstrange Gallery. 

The ‘Wonderful Warm Up” gig 

including Two Minds from Mt 

Pleasant was held on Saturday. 

A special part of the event 

will be the sale of Abrahands 

stickers, available for a donation. 

The donations will go towards 

an alternative mental health 

therapy, in memory of McNeil’s 

brother Abraham McNeil who 

committed suicide in 2019. 

“We want to keep the conversation 

around mental health 

going,” McNeil said. 

The Mingle has caught the 

attention of an international 

audience too. 

In 2019, more than 50 surfers 

from around the world competed 

in the Sumner surf and more 

than 100 other internationals 

attended the festival. 

“I’m blown away every year by 

how the festival is growing. It’s 

not about getting bigger but it’s 

about trying new things to make 

the experience better. 

“Our goal has always been to 

make this the best weekend of 

the year,” McNeil said.

COMMUNITY groups are 

taking the lead on a new 

trapping initiative in the Port 

Hills to help with predator 

control. 

The city council is working 

alongside community groups 

in Purau Reserve, Birdsey 

Reserve, Barnett Park and 

Giants Nose Reserve. 

It will be a six-month project 

to investigate how trapping 

can be safely supported in the 

smaller community reserves. 

This is a part of the city 

council’s commitment to 

make the Port Hills and Banks 

Peninsula pest-free by 2050. 

City council community 

parks manager Al Hardy said 

a training workshop was conducted 

at the end of last year, 

equipping volunteers with the 

necessary skills needed to set 

and monitor traps. 

Many of those involved in 

this project have already been 

trapping in the reserves for 

some time. 

Said Hardy: “Other community 

groups are new to 

trapping but have been doing 

planting and maintenance 

work in their local park. They 

see trapping as the next step 

towards restoring urban biodiversity.” 

Community group Friends 

of Purau Reserve has been 

working over the past few 

years to weed and then replant 

the reserve with indigenous 

vegetation. 

After discovering hedgehogs, 

mice and rats in 

the reserve, they are now 

implementing a trapping 

programme as part of this

Community helps with predator trapping 

initiative. 

Since first setting traps at 

the beginning of March, they 

have already caught four rats. 

Said Purau Reserve volunteers 

co-ordinator Bronwyn 

McLennan: “I got involved because 

we need a habitat bridge 

or link between the city and 

Banks Peninsula for our native 

species, especially our birds, 

to be safe and proliferate. It’s 

possible that if we actively trap 

predators in our cities that we 

could create a haven for our 

wildlife.”

Fire station set to be demolished 

Sumner 

Volunteer 

Fire 

Brigade 

chief fire 

officer 

Daryl 

Sayer provides 

an update on the 

volunteer team 

OVER MARCH 27-29, 

the Sumner Volunteer Fire 

Brigade moved into temporary 

premises on Wakefield Ave. 

This marks the next phase 

of the rebuild of the existing 

station in Wiggins St, which 

suffered extensive, although 

not crippling, damage in the 

2011 earthquakes. 

Temporary premises, 

including a two-vehicle 

appliance bay, offices and 

a training room have been 

constructed on the former site 

of the Sumner gasworks, on 

the corner of Truro St. 

Demolition of the old 

station will take place in the 

THE MEETING to discuss the 

establishment of a community 

garden in Diamond Harbour 

last Tuesday confirmed the 

NEW BUILD: The Sumner Volunteer Fire Brigade building will soon be demolished 

and another facility will be built on the Wiggins St site. 

next couple of weeks before 

construction of the new 

station begins. 

The new station will be built 

on the Wiggins St site, but 

will also take in the section on 

the corner of Wakefield Ave, 

resulting in a larger footprint 

for the station. 

The station will have a 

two-vehicle appliance bay, 

office space and a meeting and 

training room in a purposebuilt 

modern facility. 

Locals should be aware 

that during the build process 

the normal fire siren will 

not be operating, but will 

be reinstated when the new 

station is operational. 

The siren acts as an 

additional means of 

alerting the members – 

pagers are not 100 per cent 

reliable, particularly in the 

hill-lined locality of the 

Sumner valley. 

The siren has been 

reported to be a comfort 

to those nearby who have 

requested the brigade’s 

assistance as it assures them 

that their call for help has 

been heard. 

Sumner Fire Brigade 

has operated in the local 

community for 127 years, 

and is entirely staffed by 

volunteers. 

Recruiting is currently 

aimed at people who are 

available to respond during 

working hours. 

If you wish to inquire about 

joining and are available 

during the week, phone chief 

fire officer Daryl Sayer on 027 

229 2402. 

Interest grows in Diamond Harbour community garden 

desire for the project. 

Potential sites and reasons 

for the garden were discussed. 

THe next steps will be 

to form a management 

committee that then put 

forward a project proposal to 

the city council.

Hill dwellers need to be vigilant with water 

In April, the 

Redcliffs/ 

Te Rae Kura 

Eco Village 

Group will 

be focusing 

on water. 

Co-ordinator 

Dave Bryce discusses 

water seepage on Banks 

Peninsula 

IF YOU LIVE on the hills and 

have a problem with water 

seepage and clay, you are not 

alone. 

The hills of Banks Peninsula 

have varying amounts of a clay 

material called loess on them. 

This came as wind-blown dust 

from the retreating glaciers in 

the various “Ice Ages”. 

It is comprised of tiny particles 

which become suspended in 

water, making it cloudy, like the 

waters of glacial lakes such as 

Lake Tekapo. 

When the hills were covered 

in native forest, rain water 

dripped lightly from the leaves 

The Avon- 

Heathcote 

Estuary Ihutai 

Trust is a 

non-profit 

organisation 

formed 

to protect 

one of New 

Zealand’s most important 

coastal wetlands. Each 

week, board members will 

discuss matters regarding 

the estuary, its rich history 

and what makes it unique. 

This week Bill Simpson 

writes about the influential 

Peacock family 

ONE OF THE mementoes of 

the 2010 and 2011 Christchurch 

earthquakes is the large mass 

of netting on the cliff face 

protecting the road at Clifton 

Beach on the way to Sumner. 

This area has had various 

names – Shag Rock Reserve, 

Clifton Beach and Peacocks 

Gallop. 

and soaked slowly through the 

leaf litter into the soil. 

Much of it was absorbed 

by plant roots, but some 

emerged in streams keeping 

them flowing constantly 

throughout the year (with 

minor fluctuations). This clean 

water supported ecosystems 

including water plants, mussels, 

invertebrates, koura, inanga, 

kokopu and eels. 

Since the removal of native 

forests from the Port Hills, rainwater 

pounds the grass and soil, 

taking up chemical residues, 

some water running down on 

the surface, some soaking quickly 

into the soil. 

Some of this water triggers 

downhill soil creep, and some 

washes out loess underground, 

collapsing the soil above it as 

“under-runners”. 

This water quickly discharges 

into streams, depositing sediment, 

smothering water plants, 

degrading ecosystems, causing 

major fluctuations in stream 

water flows (from torrents to 

prolonged dry spells). 

The result is much faster 

erosion of the hills than before, 

and much more sedimentation 

of streams, rivers, estuaries, 

harbour beds and the ocean. 

Many ecosystems across the 

Peninsula cannot adapt to such 

erosion, and many roads, houses 

or other buildings may also be 

at risk. 

Hill dwellers need to be 

vigilant – water gardens by 

timers or by hand (and no 

more than necessary); make 

sure downpipes discharge 

to roadsides, city council 

stormwater pipes or appropriate 

on-site storage tanks; wash 

cars in water-recycling “carwashes” 

or on lawns, but not 

on driveways; never allow 

water or soil to cross your 

boundaries; never excavate or 

fill land without appropriate 

advice or city council 

approval; never allow paint or 

other contaminants to enter 

stormwater; always check that 

taps are off and not leaking.

Shag Rock 

Reserve, 

The Peacocks, father and son, 

were influential businessmen in 

the early days of Christchurch. 

John Jenkins Peacock (1798– 

1868) from Sydney owned several 

ships which traded around 

New Zealand’s coastal towns in 

the 1840 and 1850s. 

He was known as a hard-worker 

and would think nothing of 

wading into the Lyttelton harbour 

in all weathers to load sacks 

of potatoes onto his brig. 

But he must have tired of that 

because in 1857 he built the harbour’s 

second jetty. It was known 

initially as Peacock’s Wharf but 

with enlargements and improvements 

it later became known as 

“No 7 Wharf.” 

His son, Hon John Thomas 

Peacock, (1827–1905) is probably 

best known today as the donor of 

funds for the Peacock Fountain 

in the Botanic Gardens. 

He was born in Sydney but 

arrived in Christchurch in 

1844 with his parents. John 

Thomas was a businessman 

and politician. He was also a 

philanthropist, most notably 

through his generous support 

of the Christchurch Beautifying 

Association. 

He was also the member of 

Parliament for Lyttelton from 

1868 to 1873, and then appointed 

to the Legislative Council from 

1873 to his death in 1905. 

He also found time to be the 

first mayor of St Albans from 

1881. 

Prominent on the Tramways 

Board he made an impassioned 

plea in 1905 for widening the 

road to Sumner so that traffic 

would be protected from rocks 

falling off Clifton. 

“In the old days I used to 

gallop along that bit of road 

in order to get over it as fast as 

possible, and it used to be called 

‘Peacock’s Gallop,’” he told The 

Press on January 13, 1905. 

He would have been an 

enthusiastic admirer of the 

netting there today.

TĀTOU KO MERE E WHAKAPONO ANA 

A message from the Board 

To finally be able to reveal the plans for the new building is something we are all 

incredibly excited about. When Archbishop Paul Martin, was appointed as Bishop 

of Christchurch, he promised us he would make the rebuild of Marian College a 

priority, and he was true to his word. Although it has taken somewhat longer than 

originally planned, we think it has been worth the wait! 

NCEA 2020 results 

In the words of Mother Teresa “I can do things you cannot, you can do things I 

cannot. Together we can do great things.” This could not be truer in the design 

and planning of the new look Marian College. There have been so many people 

involved in this project, from the students, staff and school community to the 

professionals, who can do the things we cannot, it truly is a team effort. 

On behalf of the Board, I would like to acknowledge the incredible work of the 

Architects, Sheppard and Rout, and the Diocesan project management team, who 

have listened and share our excitement about this build. They have all worked 

hard to ensure the Catholic Special Character of Marian College is maintained in 

a design which is quite unique. I’d also like to acknowledge the Marian College 

Senior Leadership Team who have ensured the new school build meets the needs 

of the staff and students for the future. 

The significance of this new build project cannot be underestimated and as a 

Board we feel very privileged to be a part of this. We look forward to working 

alongside the team to ensure Marian College continues to thrive in the future.

Huge load space in Hyundai Santa Fe 

MY SON recently purchased 

a new television, a giant 65in 

model. 

The key question I asked 

the salesperson at the time of 

purchase was: “Would I be able 

to transport it home in a sport 

utility vehicle?’’ He answered yes, 

if it was a big wagon. 

Well, I was driving one of the 

biggest mainstream SUVs in the 

market – Hyundai’s new Santa 

Fe – and although it was a bit of a 

squeeze we did manage to get the 

new TV home. 

That’s one of the benefits of 

the modern SUV concept, they 

are adaptable with a multitude 

of uses, and the new Santa Fe 

Limited with its 2.2-litre diesel 

engine is a class act. Well, I guess 

it needs to be, at almost $90k it is 

an SUV that commands a serious 

financial outlay. 

Of course, there are other model 

options – seven variants make 

up the new range which starts at 

$62,990 for a 2.5-litre four-cylinder 

petrol model, and there’s also 

a V6 petrol in the line-up. 

The new Santa Fe is exactly 

that, it is an all-new shape and 

sits on an all-new platform, what’s 

more it gets a new diesel engine, 

and while the cubic capacity is 

much the same as the previous 

generation model, it’s an all-aluminium 

unit which is smooth, 

quieter, more powerful and 

efficient than before. 

CAPABLE: Up to 1625-litres of cargo can be transported 

beneath the Santa Fe’s tailgate. 

HYUNDAI SANTA FE LIMITED: Plush, luxury SUV with a choice of engines. 

The Limited model gets the 

new diesel, although, as mentioned, 

you can get it with petrol 

power as well, but the V6 Limited 

doesn’t have drive to all four 

wheels. 

That aside, the four-cylinder 

turbocharged diesel is rated at 

148kW (3800rpm) with 440Nm 

of torque available from 1750rpm 

to 2750rpm. 

Not only are these outputs 

impressive in terms of flexibility 

and outright grunt, it is one of 

the smoothest oil burners you are 

ever likely to find in a vehicle of 

this type. 

It is hooked to a recently-developed 

eight-speed dual clutch automatic 

transmission, something 

that is shared with Hyundai’s 

partnership with Kia. Interaction 

between the engine and gearbox 

is smooth and seamless, and the 

gear ratios are structured so that 

they work efficiently with the 

engine’s power and torque bands, 

especially so the mid-range rev 

spread. 

In this form, the Santa Fe is relatively 

quick for a vehicle which 

weighs in at almost two-tonne. 

According to my stopwatch it will 

make 100km/h from a standstill 

in under 9sec. 

As you would expect in the 

new-age SUV, the Santa Fe 

is fitted with the latest drive 

technologies, it has all-corner 

propulsion which can be activated 

by the driver at the turn of a 

dial through a complex series of 

modes and functions. Because of 

the driveline mechanicals there is 

a lot of suspension complexity. 

Mostly, though, there is feel 

and grip that the driver can use 

with confidence and reassurance. 

The ride is also quiet, and a lot 

of that has to do with the quality 

of the tyres – the big Continental 

rubber (255/45 x 20in) has a firm 

road feel and transports messages 

to the steering wheel in a solid, 

communicative way. 

The Santa Fe is a fine touring 

vehicle, and after years of development 

the ride/handling balance 

is as good as you would get in any 

SUV, least of all one that sits in 

the large luxury segment. 

I presented the evaluation car 

with a tight set of corners between 

Darfield and Burnham, the 

Santa Fe leans a little bit, but such 

are the spring and damper rates 

body movement isn’t excessive 

and the occupants shouldn’t be 

disappointed with the in-cabin 

comfort levels. 

Add in a vehicle that weighs in 

at around 1900kg, there is a lot 

of vehicle to get through a tight 

corner, yet it does so with dignity 

and purpose. 

That’s one of the reasons why 

SUVs have become so popular, 

they perform admirably and, 

in the Santa Fe’s case, it is also a 

plush luxury car which impresses 

• Price – Hyundai Santa Fe 

Limited, $89,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4785mm; width, 1900mm; 

height, 1710mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

four-wheel-drive, 

2151cc, 148kW, 440Nm, 

eight-speed automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 8.9sec 

• Fuel usage – 7.5l/100km 

with its refinement. 

Major items of specification include 

full leather trim with electrically 

adjustable seats up front 

(also heated). There is head-up 

display, paddle-shift gear selectors 

and new display graphics which 

change face when the indicator 

stalk is activated, side views of the 

vehicle give the driver clear vision 

of what is happening outside. 

Also, it must be mentioned the 

Limited model also gets remote 

starting and movement, should 

the driver’s door be hard to access, 

such as a tight car park, the 

vehicle can be driven forward or 

reversed using the remote key. 

Hyundai has upped the ante in 

terms of fuel use. The Santa Fe 

returned some interesting fuel usage 

information during my time 

with the test car. At 100km/h 

in top gear the big diesel sips 

fuel instantaneously at around 

4.5-litres per 100km, turning over 

at just 1600rpm. A test average of 

7l/100km is respectable for vehicle 

weight, and compares well to 

Hyundai’s combined cycle claim 

of 6.1l/100km. 

Although the television wasn’t 

heavy, it was bulky and claimed a 

fair hunk of space made easy by 

the clever seat folding system. In 

terms of figures, the load area can 

claim up to 547-litres, 1625-litres 

with the rear second row of 

seats folded. Yes, the Santa Fe is a 

useful seven-seater. 

I was scheduled into Hyundai’s 

new Santa Fe just before Christmas, 

however, a shipping mix-up 

meant it wasn’t dispatched to 

Christchurch. 

Fast forward two months 

and the range-topping Limited 

arrived. The wait was really 

worth it, it’s sophistication speaks 

volumes, the Santa Fe is a model 

that sits on the outer periphery 

of the luxury wagon market, yet 

it competes admirably with all of 

the big names. 

However, its biggest competition 

will come from Kia’s new 

Sorento; the two South Korean 

companies are partners, yet battle 

each other fiercely, especially in 

terms of pricing. 

The new Sorento, with a similar 

driveline, has an advantage 

there, how it all plays out in 

the marketplace will be very 

interesting to watch.
