Comedian’s work stretches 

to cleaning up Godley Head 

• By Samantha Mythen 

SHAY HORAY’S weekend 

started with a morning 

stroll around Godley Head 

and ended with a truck 

full of other people’s 

rubbish. 

Horay, a comedian and 

actor from Lyttelton – also 

known as the Rubberband 

Boy – was walking his dog 

in the historic scenic reserve 

when Riley got some broken 

glass stuck in his paw. 

Said Horay: “I looked 

around, saw heaps and heaps 

of rubbish and thought: ‘This 

is gross’.” 

Rather than taking to social 

media to complain about 

those who had littered, Horay 

decided to do something 

about it. 

After getting back from his 

walk, Horay posted an idea 

on the Lyttelton Facebook 

group. 

He asked that any interested 

members of the community 

meet at the top of Evans Pass 

at 10am the next morning to 

“lend a hand on the ‘pick the 

s**t up day’.” 

Horay said he just wanted 

to “get into it and go for it.”

Police issue 

52 tickets 

in one day 

to drivers 

ignoring 

stop signs 

POLICE HAVE clamped 

down on motorists running 

intersections – issuing 52 tickets 

in a single day. 

The campaign in Lyttelton 

came after residents’ complained 

about driving behaviour. 

Said Sergeant Gerard Peoples: 

“We recently noted local concerns 

about drivers not stopping 

at the Lyttelton stop signs 

including some occasions where 

pedestrians have almost been 

hit. 

“As a result of these concerns 

we conducted an operation to 

target stop sign runners. An 

incredible 52 tickets were issued 

in the course of one day, often 

while police staff and vehicles 

were in plain view.’’ 

Motorists were fined $150. 

“Surprisingly, many people 

thought they were give way 

signs, and out of the 52 only two 

were not locals. 

“I understand that giving 

out tickets is not popular but 

people running stop signs and 

putting others at risk is even less 

popular.”

WORK TO remove the 

apocalyptic graffiti poem on 

the historic Lyttelton Gaol wall 

by the primary school will be 

completed in the next two to 

three weeks. 

Two city council parks staff 

began the removal process last 

Wednesday. Three sets of cleaning 

products 

have been 

applied, paired 

with scrubbing 

work, which 

has almost 

removed the 

wording. 

The removal 

will continue 

this week. 

Complaints 

were first made about the poem 

in September last year. 

The lack of progress on 

the removal of the graffiti 

drew the attention of Deputy 

Mayor Andrew Turner who 

requested answers from city 

council staff on why the graffiti 

was still there six months from 

the first complaint. 

The city council told Bay 

Harbour on March 17 the delays 

in the graffiti removal would be 

resolved within the following 

week. 

However, there were further 

delays as the specialised contractor 

used by the city council is 

currently unavailable. They had 

been working to find someone 

else to remove the graffiti in the 

meantime. 

As the wall is a heritage item, 

a special process is required 

to remove the graffiti and not 

damage the structure. 

“Being a heritage wall, our advice 

is to use different methods 

and chemicals for each material,

PROCESS: The graffiti on the historic Lyttelton Gaol wall has almost been removed,

not as straight forward as normal 

graffiti removal,” Turner 

said. 

Because of these circumstances, 

a special contractor was 

needed to complete the work. 

Said Turner: “I have 

encouraged staff to prioritise 

this and I have been assured the 

graffiti will be removed.” 

Paul Dietsche, a Lyttelton 

resident, was among several 

people who reported the graffiti 

to the city council via their 

Snap, Send and Solve feature in 

September. 

Many residents said they did 

not mind the poem, but opposed 

its location right by a playing 

field for young children. 

Turner said he would be 

following up the graffiti at 

Magazine Bay as a separate 

issue.

Concerted 

effort to 

target 

speeding 

•From page 1 

Police have also been making a 

concerted effort to target speeding 

drivers and riders along the 

main roads through the bays. 

A significant number of speeding 

tickets have been issued in 

recent weeks, said Peoples. 

“However, it astounds me that 

motor-cyclists continue to ride 

through the area in the manner in 

which they do, especially after the 

tragic death of one of their own 

only a few weeks ago,” he said. 

“Anybody can drive or ride 

through these roads at speed but 

the speed limits are in place as 

you not only need to stick to the 

road, you also need to be able to 

stop in time when something unexpected 

appears in front of you 

such as coming across a broken 

down car, a kid running out in 

front of you or a car tuning in 

your path.” 

Meanwhile, Lyttelton police 

will be conducting a number 

of night shifts in the area to 

disrupt and discourage thefts 

from cars, much of which takes 

place in the dead of the night. 

• Gerard Peoples’ column, p10 


REDCLIFFS residents are 

resigned that their village 

upgrades may only happen in 10 

years time. 

If the city council’s draft Long 

Term Plan goes ahead, village 

improvements under the Redcliffs 

(Main Rd) Master Plan will 

only happen in 2030. 

However, 

the Redcliffs 

Residents’ Association 

would like 

to see the village 

rejuvenated before 

then. 

They have 

made a submission 

requesting the Master Plan 

be implemented earlier. 

After the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake, the city council in 

consultation with community 

boards, created a set of suburban 

master plans to assist with rebuild 

and urban regeneration. 

The Redcliffs (Main Rd) 

Master Plan was adopted in 

November 2014. 

Association secretary Pat 

McIntosh explained work on the 

Redcliffs village street improvements 

was meant to happen last 

year, yet, the money allocated 

to the project was deferred. 

They thought it was because of

Covid-19. 

However, this aspect of the 

Master Plan has since been 

assigned to the 2030/31 period 

in the city council’s draft Long 

Term Plan. 

McIntosh said what disappointed 

her most was how they 

were blindsided by the Master 

Plan being pushed back 10 years. 

The residents’ association only 

knew about this after reading 

the draft Long Term Plan themselves. 

The Linwood-Heathcote- 

Central Community 

Board has put forward the 

recommendation that this 

is a high priority and the 

urban regeneration should be 

reinstated for occurring at an 

earlier period. 

McIntosh said it should 

be reinstated based on two 

concerns. 

She believes the village centre 

is in need of general landscape 

improvements and also needs 

markers at each end indicating 

to thorough-fare a village has 

been entered. 

“It’s not just a through road,” 

McIntosh said.

will be a long wait 

“We want to encourage people 

to stop and use the shops and 

cafe.” 

Clifton resident Eric Smart said 

he thought Redcliffs was becoming 

“quite dead.” 

“There aren’t as many people 

wandering around the shops,” he 

said. 

Vinod Manu, owner of the 

Redcliffs Dairy said the village 

“needs a boost.” 

McIntosh would also like to see 

a lowered speed limit through the 

village centre and 

for this to happen 

sooner rather 

than in 10 years 

time. 

“This is 

something the 

Catherine 

Sayer 

resident’s association 

has been 

advocating about 

for years,” she said. 

“We are disappointed to see 

this has no longer been given 

priority for action.” 

Said Redcliffs Pharmacy owner 

Catherine Sayer: “It would be a 

good idea if the speed was lowered 

– we have seen the odd crash 

out here.” 

Redcliffs Butchery Brian 

Jennings said there were always 

many children walking down to 

the dairy, as well as cars turning 

on and off Main Rd. He thought 

it would be a good idea to impose 

the lower speed limit. 

Manu suggested a 30km/h 

speed limit as seen through the 

central city. 

Furthermore, it has been seven 

years since the community board 

was consulted about the village 

improvements. McIntosh said so 

much has changed since then and 

a re-think on the plan is needed. 

“We support a review of what’s 

needed in the area, as the Master 

Plan improvements are an investment,” 

McIntosh said. 

Said Jennings: “It was that long 

ago, I’d already forgotten about 

it.” 

Admin and dental assistant at 

Redcliffs Dental, Leanne Price, 

agreed saying there was a lot of 

change in the area. 

“Quite a lot is up in the air at 

the moment, such as the supermarket 

closing,” she said. 

“We need to get the plan 

right and do these improvements 

once rather than in dribs and 

drabs.” 

Sayer said the proposal to push 

the village regeneration to 2030 

was a shame but was understandable. 

“There are so many other projects 

going on in Christchurch,” 

she said. 

“For example, a lot of money 

has been spent on the Coastal 

Pathway through the village 

and we’re very grateful for those 

facilities.” 

The Sumner Master Plan has 

also been allocated to the 2030/31 

period in the draft plan. 

IMPROVEMENTS: Main Rd through Redcliffs may 

now only see upgrades in 10 years time. Brian (left) 

and James Jennings at Redcliffs Butchery hope to

The Sumner Community 

Residents’ Association has 

requested a funding amount be 

released from the Master Plan 

in order for the Village Green to 

be constructed at the same time 

as the skate park in the coming 

year. This is supported by the 

community board. 

Its argument is that this will 

reduce costs overall, minimise 

disturbance for residents and will 

make the site safer. 

Sumner Hub co-ordinator 

Charlie Hudson said fencing 

was needed along the back of the 

Sumner Green and it would be 

safer to fence the whole area at 

the same time. 

Furthermore, water fountains 

and rubbish bins only feature in 

the green area. If the two projects 

are not delivered at the same 

time, the skate park will be lacking 

these facilities. 

“We also want the skate park to 

not just be a silo facility for one 

group.” 

“Having the picnic area, means 

the space is integrated for everyone’s 

use. That is the vision for 

the Sumner Green,’’ Hudson said. 

Said McIntosh: “We now just 

have to wait and see what the city 

council decides when they take 

into account the consultations.”

Two Shakes of a Lamb’s Tail 

The diary of a Country Vet 

by danielle Hawkins 

Two Shakes of a Lamb’s Tail is the funny, illuminating diary of a year in the life of a 

New Zealand farm vet With a husband and two children, 1200 sheep and 400 cattle, 

farm dogs and pet lambs, pigs bent on excavation and a goat bent on escape, country 

life is never dull. From calving cows to constipated dogs, weddings to weaning lambs, 

daffodils to ducklings to droughts, each season brings new challenges and delights. 

Sometimes it’s exhausting but it’s almost always a lot of fun - anyway, it’s all part and 

parcel of the life of a Kiwi mother, farmer’s wife and vet. 

A Biker’s Tale 

by John Hellemans 

An hilarious tale about an epic event, written from a unique perspective. To be able to 

appreciate the story, the reader needs to be young at heart, have a vivid imagination and 

a love for adventure. If that sounds like you, join the writer on his journey, and experience 

his daily ups and downs with him. The Tour Aotearoa is a mountain bike ‘brevet’ (a timed, 

long-distance cycling event) covering the length of New Zealand. It starts at the most northern 

point of the North Island, Cape Reinga, and finishes at Stirling Point, just south of Bluff at 

the bottom of the South Island. The Tour is held biennially and requires participants to follow 

a set route covering 3,000 km which consists of existing mountain bike trails scattered 

throughout the country and connected by back country roads. The Tour is unsupported, so 

participants carry their own gear. To be awarded the brevet, the riders need to cover the full 

distance within 30 days. The writer took part in the 2018 edition of the Tour. His experience 

was different from what he expected. He encountered all types of challenges, from getting 

lost to physical ailments, serious weather events and loneliness. In between he had plenty 

of time to contemplate and let his thoughts and imagination run free. 

A High Country Life 

Tales & recipes from a New Zealand Sheep Station 

by Philippa Cameron 

Life on Otematata Station, a 40,000 hectare high country station in Otago, is busy and 

varied. Philippa Cameron and her husband, Joe, who is the fifth generation to work the 

farm, help care for this vast tract of land with 30,000 merino sheep and 500 head of 

cattle. It’s a sparse environment completely at the mercy of the elements, bringing with 

it many challenges and seasonal demands. Told through the eyes of Philippa in her 

role as station cook, this is the story of mustering in autumn, lambing in spring, the 

freezing days of winter and the scorching heat of summer. Along with looking after her 

two small girls, her garden and various animals, Philippa feeds the teams of workers. 

She collects and shares a selection of delicious, hearty recipes with other farm cooks 

on her popular Instagram page @whats_for_smoko. This book also features Philippa’s 

most trusted recipes, tested on many approving musterers. 

My Mother and Other Secrets 

by Wendyl Nissen 

When Wendyl Nissen’s mother was suffering with Alzheimer’s, she told some extraordinary 

stories about her background that Wendyl had never heard before. Determined to get to the 

bottom of these family secrets, Wendyl found some wild and intriguing stories of loss, grief 

and love. She uncovered new relatives, deeply sad adoptions, harsh parenting, complex 

marriages and a few rogues. These stories often highlighted how tough life was for women 

and children in an era when women had to fight for every bit of independence they gained. 

This compelling, moving book is about mothers and daughters, ageing and the way deep 

family traumas echo down through the generations. It is also spliced with wisdom on caring 

for someone with dementia.

families and the violent destruction of their communities, a cadre of Jewish women in 

Poland - some still in their teens - became the heart of a wide-ranging resistance network 

that fought the Nazis. With courage, guile and nerves of steel, these ‘ghetto girls’ smuggled 

guns in loaves of bread and coded intelligence messages in their plaited hair. They helped 

build life-saving systems of underground bunkers and sustained thousands of Jews in safe 

hiding places. They bribed Gestapo guards with liquor, assassinated Nazis and sabotaged 

German supply lines. The Light of Days at last reveals the real history of these incredible 

women whose courageous yet little-known feats have been eclipsed by time.

A SHORT FILM shot on Banks 

Peninsula, edited and produced 

by Governors Bay resident 

Scott Flyger is premiering at the 

Tribeca Film Festival in New 

York. 

This year is the festival’s 20th 

anniversary and Flyger is excited 

beyond belief that Peninsula is 

screening there. 

“It is a privilege to be selected 

for a pretty competitive and 

top-tier film festival. Our film 

was chosen by people who don’t 

know us,” Flyger said. 

“This shows that it appeals to a 

global audience.” 

Flyger is a long-time friend 

of the film’s writer and director 

Fiona McKenzie. After catching 

up several years ago, they both 

lamented over the lack of narrative 

projects made on Banks 

Peninsula. 

An idea began to brew. They 

discussed making a television 

web-series focused on real and 

heart-warming content. 

However, in order to source 

the funds to start the series, 

Flyger said, they “needed to 

put themselves back on the 

map.” 

Peninsula was born. 

It was then shot over three 

days in Port Levy. 

Flyger said Banks Peninsula is 

the fourth character in the triage 

character film. 

“It has so many extremes, big 

clouds or blue skies, you never 

know what you’ll get but it’s a 

beautiful place each way,” said 

Flyger. 

The film follows actors Tom 

Trevella, McKenzie’s son Jasper 

Sutcliffe and Amber Ranson 


as they navigate nurturing old 

relationships and making new 

connections. 

As an independent film, Flyger 

said it was immensely fun to 

make as they only had to answer 

to themselves. 

The film was largely

crowd-funded – with almost 

$18,000 raised on Boosted. 

After completing the film, 

they sent it away to independent 

film festivals but Covid-19 led 

to further delays for its 

premiere. 

Said Flyger: “It was quite wonderful 

to get this news so long 

after we started.” 

The filmmakers are hoping 

Peninsula will move the audience. 

“Our measure of the film’s 

success is connecting people,” 

said Flyger. 

“When people watch the film, 

we want them to leave feeling 

changed and uplifted; seeing 

the world a bit differently than 

before.” 

The film festival was founded 

by film producer Jane Rosenthal 

and actor Robert de Niro in 

2001. 

It runs from June 9-20.

THE MOTHER of All Clean 

Ups, where community groups, 

schools and individuals alike 

take to Christchurch’s urban 

waterways to clean them up will 

be held on Saturday. 

Local groups taking part 

include the Estuary Trust, Ferrymead 

Rotary, the Mt Pleasant 

Yacht Club, and the Redcliffs 

Residents’ Association. 

Avon-Heathcote Estuary 

Ihutai Trust manager Tanya 

Jenkins said there are three 

places members of the public 

can meet to help with the clean 

up around the estuary. 

People should meet at 10am 

at either Ferrymead Park Drive 

at the water’s edge (turning off 

from Bridle Path Rd); the corner 

of Settlers Cres and Tussock 

Lane; or at South New Brighton 

Park at the end of Beatty St by 

the jetty. 

Said Jenkins: “Wear closed 

footwear, clothing to suit weather 

on the day and bring gloves if 

you have any.” 

In spite of not having any 

nearby waterways, Lyttelton 

School is participating in the 

Operation Riverquest schools

event on Friday. 

The rubbish the school collects 

will help inform the Lyttelton 

community about where 

further action is needed. 

They will be clearing up rubbish 

found in the stormwater 

drains instead. 

Launched in 2015, the Mother 

of All Clean Ups has run every 

year, with a home edition during 

the Covid-19 lockdown. 

During the 2019 clean-up, 

more than 3.6 tonnes of rubbish 

were collected from the city’s 

rivers and the estuary. 

The high five campaign is 

also running alongside the 

main event, where every one 

is encouraged to pick up five 

pieces of rubbish around their 

local area. 

ACTION: Lyttelton residents took to the Port Hills to clean up 

rubbish during a spontaneous event. 

2000 bottles collected 

• From page 1 

About 20 people from 

Lyttelton, varying in ages, met 

up on the Sunday and they spent 

the next two hours clearing up 

rubbish dumped on the Godley 

Head grounds. 

“Everyone had a smile on their 

face,” Horay said. 

“It was such a good vibe, just 

‘let’s get this done’.” 

The spontaneous event proved 

to be extremely successful. 

After two hours the group 

collected seven car tyres, a stereo 

system with sub and speakers, 

more than 2000 bottles and much 

more general rubbish. 

It cost about $200 to dump the 

rubbish. The money needed for 

disposal was donated by one of 

the volunteers. 

There have been some discussions 

on another clean-up occurring. 

Many more people had 

commented on Horay’s Facebook 

post that they were eager to help 

out another time. 

“With more little groups doing 

this regularly the better,” said 

Horay. 

“Sunday proved how much of 

a positive affect small action can 

have.”

Decked out Sumner Hub 

van gets community moving 


THE SUMNER Hub’s van, 

newly decked out with flash 

logos, is seeing significant use 

from the community since its 

purchase late last year. 

Sumner Hub co-ordinator 

Charlie Hudson said the van is 

well used by all sections of the 

community, such as sports teams 

and youth groups. 

It is also used for school education 

trips, transporting the 

elderly to functions or shopping, 

and is available for private hire. 

Said Hudson: “At its core, the 

van is used to grow community. 

It encourages groups not only to 

love where they live, but to also 

explore wider Christchurch.” 

The purchase of the new van 

was made possible by the Ferrymead 

Lions Club. 

Said club president Bernie 

Godden: “The Lions club is 

delighted to see its investment 

support growing community and 

connection.” 

More than two years ago, the 

Sumner Community Residents’ 

Association asked the club for 

assistance in raising funds to 

replace the old van. 

The club then ran fundraising 

events, including pea straw sales

and sausage sizzles, from which 

they donated $3500 to the purchase 

of the new van. 

A further $9500 was donated 

from the Lloyd Morgan Trust. 

Each Lions member in NZ 

makes a small donation to the 

trust each year. 

The residents’ association 

raised the remaining funds 

needed. After consulting with 

the community and community 

groups to assess what they 

needed, a vehicle was sourced for 

community use in 2020. 

Due to delays caused by 

Covid-19, the new van was purchased, 

delivered and fitted out 

just before Christmas with the 

help of Paul Kelly Motors. 

Said Godden: “The van is now 

fully branded with logos and is a 

bright, cheerful recognition to all 

the people that contributed to its 

purchase.”

AKAROA’S HISTORIC Red 

House and section will become 

a historic reserve. 

The Banks Peninsula 

Community Board approved 

a proposal for the house in 

Takapūneke, Akaroa, to be 

formally declared 

and recognised as 

a historic reserve 

at a meeting on 

Monday. 

Last year the 

city council 

Jamie 

Stewart 

purchased the 

house for $2.55 

million, more 

than double its rating valuation 

of $1.2 million. 

Said Community board member 

Jamie Stewart: “The history 

of that site is right up there 

with Waitangi [and] the Treaty 

of Waitangi. It plays such a 

huge part in the history of New 

Zealand, a lot of people don’t 

realise it.

able to run any businesses, or 

anything like that. It just means 

that the whole lot’s now part of

Takapūneke is a site of 

significant history and most of 

the land is officially classified as 

a historic reserve, but the land 

on which the Red House sits has 

been in private ownership for 

decades. 

Takapūneke was once a 

thriving commercial centre for 

Ngāi Tahu under the authority 

of Ngāi Tahu Rangatira Te Maiharanui. 

This significant Ngāi Tahu 

trading centre supplied 

travelling vessels from Europe, 

America and Australia in the 

1820s. 

The original Red House was 

built in 1839 for William Green 

and his family, who set up the 

first cattle station in the South 

Island. That house, which got 

its name because it was painted 

bright red, was destroyed by fire 

in 1888. In 1924-25 a new Red 

House was built to replace it.

Dealing with boy racers and bad driving 

Lyttelton Sergeant Gerard 

Peoples talks about 

policing in the area 

THE LYTTELTON station 

comes under the community 

services group within the 

Canterbury district, which 

means the staff here are 

community liaison officers, or 

what is commonly known as 

community constables. 

Lyttelton has a staff of one 

sergeant and four constables. 

Currently, one of the constables 

has been seconded to the 

burglary squad, based at central, 

for 12 months, one is seconded to 

the managed isolation facilities 

until mid-June and another 

will be seconded there for three 

months in about two weeks’ 

time. 

Each station in the city also 

has community constables, 

except for Christchurch South, 

and Lyttelton staff cover some of 

that area. 

The primary role of 

community constables is to 

work with their communities 

to identify and address areas of 

concern. 

One area that we have been 

working on recently has been 

concerns raised by locals 

regarding driving behaviour in 

the area, including anti-social 

road users or boy racers. 

Local police have conducted a 

number of operations targeting 

GERARD PEOPLES 

Lyttelton Police 

COMMUNITY: The Lyttelton station has a staff of one 

sergeant and four constables. 

anti-social road users with 

support from district road 

policing units. This has resulted 

in a number of cars being 

impounded, and a number of 

drivers being disqualified by the 

district court for six months. 

A focus of these operations 

has been to order vehicles with 

noisy exhausts off the road as 

the noise produced by these have 

such a significant impact on the 

residents of the area. 

These cars will not be allowed 

back on the roads until they are 

corrected and independently 

certified. 

A significant portion of our 

work is investigating complaint 

files regarding matters varying 

from protection order breaches 

and neighbours at war to theft 

and assaults. 

This makes up the majority of 

our work. 

The geographic area that 

we have responsibility for 

community policing and lower 

level enquiry files is quite a 

bit bigger than most realise. 

This includes the Christchurch 

South station areas of Woolston, 

Waltham, Sydenham, 

Beckenham, Cashmere, and 

Westmorland. 

We also cover Sumner 

through to Lyttelton, and the 

bays through to Diamond 

Harbour and over to Port Levy. 

In addition to the community 

liaison and lower level inquiry 

files for the Sumner/Lyttelton/ 

Bays areas we are normally first 

to be called to urgent matters in 

those area such as family harm, 

vehicle collisions and assaults, as 

we are normally closer than city 

units. 

Having said all of that, there 

are a number of centralised work 

groups tasked with districtwide 

responsibilities and these 

extend to the Sumner, Lyttelton 

and Bays areas. These include 

specialist squads that deal with 

burglaries, thefts of cars, fraud, 

drug dealing, gang liaison, 

family harm follow up and road 

policing. 

As station sergeant, I review 

all offences reported to police 

within our area in order to keep 

up to date with what is going 

on and to look into adjusting 

what we are doing to address 

emerging issues. 

The boy racer issue is an 

ongoing one and won’t be solved 

overnight, but we will conduct 

operations this month to 

continue to address the issue. 

On the matter of driver 

behaviour in the area, Lyttelton 

police have been making a 

concerted effort to target 

speeding drivers and riders along 

the main roads through the bays, 

with a significant number of 

speeding tickets being issued in 

recent weeks.

NINE-YEAR-old Victoria 

Smith, a young fashionista, 

has created a uniquely 

Kiwi outfit out of beeswax 

fabric to enter in the Toi 

Wearable Art competition. 

The event is for school 

students and is run in collaboration 

with the World 

of WearableArt, which 

also supplies the judges. 

Victoria attends Heathcote 

Primary School. 

Victoria chose Aotearoa, 

one of three briefs created 

with WOW to inspire 

her design. Pairing this 

brief with her love of bees, 

Victoria decided to create a 

dress made out of beeswax 

covered fabric. 

Her eight-year-old sister, 

Scarlett, also worked on 

her own design, but with 

the time restraints, she 

took on a new role as 

Victoria’s design assistant. 

Parents cannot assist 

with the creations, so the 

sisters have been working 

on their own volition – 

choosing the fabric, making 

a prototype, learning 

how to sew, measuring, 

cutting and hand-sewing 

the dress together. 

Using Canterbury-produced 

beeswax, they also 

covered the base fabric 

with the medium themselves. 

Victoria said her favourite 

part of the process was 

sewing, in spite of pricking 

her fingers many times. 

“The hardest part was 

measuring and estimating 

the length of the dress,” 

she said. 

Victoria is hoping to 

wow judges in the wearable 

arts competition. 

Once the WOW 

competition is over 

Victoria and Scarlett will 

re use the outfit and make 

it into beeswax wraps

that they will then sell 

to raise money for the 

Christchurch Beekeepers 

Club to help protect and 

support bees. 

Their mother, Raewyn 

is extremely proud of the 

work they have done. 

“Victoria loves fashion 

and she loves designing 

outfits,” she said. 

“It wasn’t about the final 

product, but the making 

of it.”

Night sky to light up during glow festival 

Cindy Driscoll 

HORORATA Domain is ready 

to glow on Saturday with a 

crowd of 10,000 expected for the 

Hororata Glow Festival. 

Cindy Driscoll, of the 

Hororata Community Trust, 

said tickets were selling fast. To 

control numbers, there would be 

no gate sales after a huge turnout 

of 14,000 people at the last 

festival in 2019. 

“(This) was an overwhelming 

response for 

just our second 

event,” Driscoll 

said. 

This year, to 

manage crowd 

size and Covid-19 

requirements, 

numbers 

will be limited to 10,000. 

“Our community is looking 

forward to this magical festival. 

We have heaps of new activities 

this year, including the UV Art 

Zone, Mitre 10 Mega Warm Up 

Cube and a fairy tree, just to 

name a few,” Driscoll said. 

“We also have the popular 

activities from past years 

returning, like the hot air 

balloon walk through, the 

University of Canterbury 

interactive science activities and 

the glow circus.” 

Live music from the Selwyn 

Community Choir, Sam 

Bambery and The Bluesettes 

and Chilton House would 

entertain the crowd until the sun 

went down and things began to 

glow. 

The festival’s trademark night 

MAGICAL: The festival’s trademark night glow promises to be a highlight. 

glow would happen any time 

from 5.30pm. 

Michael Oakley, of 

Ballooning Canterbury, is looking 

forward to the event, as are 

the attending balloonists who 

will be travelling from all over 

New Zealand. 

“They are so excited to be 

coming back to our community. 

We will be flying for the four 

days leading up to the festival 

so keep an eye on the skies,” 

Oakley said. 

Getting the balloons inflated 

and ready to glow required 

a huge team effort. Weather 

conditions had to be perfect, he 

said. 

The balloons would be on 

the ground and lit up like 

giant lanterns, glowing in a 

choreographed performance to 

music. 

Following the night glow 

will be a special lighting effects 

display that promises to be a real 

show stopper, Driscoll said. DJ 

Craig Shaw would keep the party 

going as he cranked the tunes, 

getting the young and young-atheart 

up and dancing. 

Surrounding the activities 

and performances will be 80 

stalls, including food, wine 

tasting, treats for the kids, produce, 

and a huge range of food 

trucks. 

With large numbers expected, 

people are advised to allow extra 

travel time and arrive early. The 

gates open at 3pm. 

The event is weather 

dependent and if postponed will 

be held on Sunday. A call on 

postponement will be made by 

7pm on Friday, and announced 

on the event’s Facebook page. 

Restoration draws wildlife back to reserve 

THISTLEDOWN Reserve 

is situated in Woolston, at 

Thistledown Pl. 

It comprises only 2258 sq m of 

wetland area and is the source of 

the Steam Wharf Stream which 

connects with Heathcote River 

at the Lyttelton Roundabout in 

Ferry Rd. 

A small city gem – a true example 

of the original Canterbury 

wetland with freshwater springs 

continuously bubbling up keeping 

this pure and clean water 

temperature in the steam at a 

constant cool 15 deg C. 

Thirteen species of native 

wetland birds had been recorded 

there and 18 species of them have 

been non-native. 

The most common native 

species being the grey warbler, 

silvereye and fantail. 

Pre-earthquake, it provided 

habitat for short-finned eel and 

whitebait. The 2010 and 2011 

earthquakes caused the creek 

banks to collapse, trees to fall 

over, bird and fish life disappeared. 

Temporary water drainage into 

the reserve had been allowed 

from local properties resulting in 

pollution of this waterway. 

Willow trees were left to thrive 

to very quickly take over from 

the native trees as maintenance 

of this reserve by the city council 

has been reduced post-earthquake 

events. 

Some urgency was required to 

do something as the paths were 

disappearing due to weed growth 

and the reserve became a wilderness, 

where locals became afraid 

to walk through it. 

The Estuary Trust stepped in 

after we received permission, 

support and supervision by city 

council park rangers. 

In 2016 the trust rounded up 

local residents and started the 

huge task of restoring this special 

little place. 

Volunteers, supervised by city 

council ranger Karen Smith, 

meet every third Saturday of each 

month between 10am and noon 

where we prune, weed and plant 

and are amazed and delighted 

with the return of birds, eel and 

whitebait. 

We would welcome an extra 

pair of hand to weed, prune and 

plant. We meet at the Thistledown 

Pl entrance to the reserve. 

No need to book, just turn up. 

WILD: A pathway has been 

restored at Thistledown 

Reserve as part of the Avon- 

Heathcote Estuary Ihutai 

Trust’s restoration projects.

Plenty of trick gear in Subaru’s 

A READER emailed me the other 

day. He had read my recent article 

on the Subaru Forester hybrid. 

I had made mention of the 

horizontally-opposed (boxer) 

engine that powers most Subaru 

models, and how I related to the 

design harking back to the 60s 

when I first became interested in 

motor vehicles. 

Because I mentioned Jowett, 

Porsche and Volkswagen the 

reader suggested I had forgotten 

other important manufacturers 

that built flat-four engines – Alfa 

Romeo and Lancia. 

Sure, both those manufacturers 

did produce flat-four engines, 

Lancia certainly during the 60s, 

but they weren’t commercially 

available in New Zealand, and 

Alfa Romeo’s flat-four came in 

1971. I can reassure my correspondent 

that I have fond memories 

of the Alfa 33 that I evaluated 

in 1989, its boxer engine was 

indicative of the sporty image 

that Alfa generated at that time. 

This evaluation surrounds the 

Forester, a non-hybrid model 

new to Subaru’s books, of course, 

powered by a boxer engine; it’s 

a Sport variant also wearing an 

X badge, a model that carries a 

lot more cosmetic bling than the 

model it is based on. The Forester 

X Sport sits at $47,490, which is 

bang in the middle of the range. 

The series starts at $42,490 and 

ends at $49,490 for the top-spec 

Limited. Incidentally, the hybrid 

model also lists at $47,490. 

It would take some convincing 

to get me into the X Sport, simply 

because I find the entry-level 

model more appealing, but for 

those who want something just 

that little bit out of the ordinary 

in terms of looks, there’s no doubt 

the X Sport has that appeal. 

Bright orange cosmetic detailing 

is used both inside and out, 

there are orange accents on the 

front, side and rear underguard 

and roof rails, also on the dash 

panel and centre console. The 

seats are orange-stitched and, 

in a nice touch, the cloth trim is 

heated and is water-guarded. 

To top it all off, the X Sport 

SUBARU FORESTER X SPORT: High level of fitment for popular four-wheel-drive SUV. 

model gets 18in black wheels, 

the whole package is designed to 

capture attention and it certainly 

does that, it received favourable 

comment during the time it was 

in my care. 

Elsewhere the X Sport model 

gets plenty of other specification. 

Major items include satellite 

navigation, electric front seat 

adjustment, keyless entry and 

ignition, electric sunroof and 

tailgate, and SI drive – Subaru’s 

take on engine management 

protocols – which can be 

adjusted by the driver to suit 

driving styles and the type of 

journey ahead.

Forester X Sport 

• Price – Subaru Forester X 

Sport, $47,490 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4625mm; width, 1815mm; 

height, 1730mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder 

(boxer), fourwheel-drive, 

2498cc, 

136kW, 239Nm, 

continuously variable 

automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 9.5sec 

• Fuel usage – 7.4l/100km 

It must also be mentioned that 

the X Sport model also gets the 

latest version of Subaru’s clever 

Eyesight technology, a driver 

assist system that contributes 

greatly to a five-star Australasian 

New Car Assessment Program 

safety rating. 

The Forester in this form hasn’t 

lost sight of its fundamental concept, 

even though it looks racy, 

it is still the genuine off-the-seal 

sport utility vehicle that will take 

you to places many other SUVs 

would balk at. 

The Forester with its 220mm 

ground clearance, permanently 

engaged four-wheel-drive and 

X-mode driver selectable power 

proportioning system is adept offroad. 

Just like the XV I evaluated 

recently, the Forester had only 

done just a few kilometres so I 

didn’t venture off the seal, but 

DETAIL: Orange stitching and trim garnish is used 

extensively throughout the Forester X Sport’s interior. 

I can report from my previous 

experience in the Foresters I’ve 

driven before that it has substantial 

cross-country ability and 

will cocoon the occupants with a 

controlled, comfortable ride. 

That’s the essence of the Forester, 

it has beautiful suspension, the 

ride is almost soft, but such is the 

compliance within the front strut/ 

rear wishbone system that it is 

delicate to ride in yet doesn’t lean 

awkwardly in a sealed road corner. 

Steering feel is tight, and 

the suspension can be felt 

moving providing the occupants 

with a secure feel, one that 

exudes confidence at the steering 

wheel. 

Like its stablemates, the X Sport 

Forester gets the 2.5-litre version 

of the quad-camshaft horizontally-opposed 

engine. It is rated by 

Subaru at 136kW and 239Nm, 

these figures more than enough 

to propel the vehicle in good 

speed, you can expect a standstill 

to 100km/h acceleration time of 

around 9.5sec, with 6sec to make 

120km/h from 80km/h. 

Drive is channelled to each 

corner through a seven-step 

continuously variable transmission. 

Subaru has done a good 

job making this gearbox work 

and feel like a traditional automatic, 

I like the noticeable way 

it changes ratios and, of course, 

if you want to lock it in to any of 

BLING: Muscular looks and attention to detail characterise 

the Forester X Sport. 

the pre-set steps you can do that 

by paddle-shifters or at the main 

gearshift lever itself. 

One of the most important 

figures that a Forester buyer 

would be looking at is that of 

its fuel consumption. It seems 

we are in the age where that’s one 

of the first questions I’m asked 

when an evaluation car is in my 

care. 

Subaru has given the non-hybrid 

Forster range a 7.4-litre per 

100km combined cycle rating 

(6.7l/100km hybrid). During 

my time with the evaluation car 

it was constantly listing around 

8.2l/100km with 6l/100km showing 

instantaneously at 100km, the 

engine turning over slowly at just 

1500rpm. 

In my opinion these figures 

are good for a mid-size SUV, and 

when you factor in the many 

other ingredients the Forester is a 

worthy challenger in the crowded 

SUV market. 

I’ve made no secret over the 

years of my enthusiasm for Subaru 

product, it just feels so right to 

be in, yet the range competes in 

the mainstream market. Subaru 

will be quick to point out that it 

sees its product as being niche 

market, and to a certain extent 

that is correct, but when you pitch 

the Forester against the multitude 

of mainstream models it does slot 

in perfectly. 

I guess that’s why there is major 

appeal, the Forester is a lot of 

vehicle for the money, and in X 

Sport form there is just that little 

bit of extra individualism that will 

lure those who like to stand out in 

a crowd.

Vendors have their new project 

150 Camp Bay Road, Purau 

Price by negotiation 

5 bedrooms 3 bathrooms 40.02ha land 

360m² floor area 2 car garaging 

Listing no. 5513758 



Enjoying stunning panoramic views of 

Purau Bay and the Lyttelton Harbour, this 

immaculate hillside home on 40.0200 

hectares is a must-see. Available to purchase 

on a smaller piece of land (subject to survey). 

The design of every room in this spacious 

360sqm residence puts the fantastic outlook 

centre stage. Large sliders open out from the 

two living areas as well as the four bedrooms, 

providing a natural flow from indoors to 

out. The master suite is a standout and 

includes a huge walk-in wardrobe and a 

beautiful private bathroom with twin basins, 

shower and a bath to enjoy a soak. 

The well thought-out layout of this property 

means you have options for home and 

income with the bedrooms at one end of the 

house equipped with an ensuite, lounge and 

kitchenette, which our vendors have designed 

with the idea of running an Air BnB. 

The tasteful design extends to the outdoors 

with the expansive outdoor living and 

luxurious inground swimming pool 

surrounded by mature native planting 

blending beautifully with the natural 

environment. This summer, entertain 

friends and family and dine al fresco on the 

sheltered patio, complete with outdoor fire. 

A four-bay shed with two closed and two 

open bays provides storage for farm gear 

plus the boat and any extras living seaside 

requires. 

Purau Bay is situated approximately 40 

minutes from Christchurch by car and near 

to the thriving community of Diamond 

Harbour where the local school, convenience 

store and cafe five minutes from your doorstep. 

Purau Bay is a popular sheltered spot and 

boasts lovely sandy beaches perfect for 

swimming and making the most of those 

long summer days. The local area offers an 

array of possibilities for your leisure time 

with boating, fishing, hiking and mountain 

biking within easy reach. On the weekends, 

a trip to the Lyttelton market is just a leisurely 

ferry ride away.
