‘Dumb’ drivers caught at
114km/h in Lyttelton tunnel
• By Samantha Mythen
“JUST REALLY stupid.”
That is the response from
police after they caught two
young drivers speeding through
Lyttelton tunnel
at 114km/h.
The two
drivers, in their
late teens, were
caught driving
through the
tunnel from
Gerard
Peoples
Lyttelton to
Christchurch at
about 7.30pm
last Thursday. The speed limit is
50km/h.
Said Sergeant Gerard Peoples:
“This was a really dumb and
stupid thing where they weren’t
thinking about the extra risks
involved with driving through a
tunnel.”
They were following closely
behind each other and were
stoped by a patrol car travelling
to Lyttelton.
The police officer clocked the
excessive speed on his radar, did
a U-turn and followed the two
drivers who pulled over outside
of the tunnel.
They have both been suspended
from driving for 28 days and
have received a summons to appear
in court for excessive speed.
Police have the power to
automatically suspend someone’s
licence for 28 days for several
different reasons, including if
you are caught travelling
40km/h or more over the speed
limit.
Peoples said motorists travelling
through the tunnel usually
stick to the speed limit. If drivers
were caught speeding, it was
usually at about 70km/h.
Peoples called this instance
extreme.
“Some people don’t really
appreciate the hazards in the
tunnel,” he said.
“It is relatively narrow, it
often sees heavy traffic, there
are areas where there can be
water on the road from leakage,
tunnel maintenance and
cleaning and this can make the
road quite greasy being an extra
hazard.”
CRAZY: Two
young drivers
were caught
travelling
at 114km/h
through
Lyttelton
tunnel.
Peoples said crashing in the
confines of a tunnel could be a
major problem.
If there was a crash it
magnifies further problems
that can occur such as fire and
accessibility for emergency
services.

MADNESS. THAT’S all
that can be said of the two
teenagers who raced through
the Lyttelton tunnel at
114km/h (see page 1).
Years ago when I was
a reporter at The Press I
covered a horrific crash in
the tunnel, on a late Sunday
afternoon from memory,
caused by a group of young
guys on their way back to
Christchurch.
The driver lost control
of the vehicle they were in
at speed. The walls of the
tunnel meant there was no
room for other vehicles to
escape.
The offending vehicle
went up the side of the wall
like a skateboard ramp
and smashed into another
vehicle, causing carnage. It
was a shocking scene, the
innocent victims in the other
car had no chance.
Slow down.

Community board
weighs in on rock issue
• By Samantha Mythen
THE CITY council must
provide a plan to remove excess
rocks from Clifton Beach, as
requested by Redcliffs residents,
and now supported by their
community board.
The Redcliffs Residents
Association took a deputation
to the Waikura/Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community
Board last Wednesday.
They asked the community
board to request the city council
produce a concrete action plan
for removal of the rocks on
Clifton Beach.
These rocks were leftover from
roadworks done in 2019.
After hearing the deputation,
the community board decided
to pass a resolution requesting
an options report from the city
council for a plan to remove the
excess rocks.
Said community board
chairwoman Alexandra Davids:
“We are asking the city council
to produce a holistic plan and
time frame for when remediation
work can take place.”
They want to see an
explanation of costing, as well
as information on when and
DISAPPOINTED: Pat McIntosh with some of the rocks
that are sitting on Clifton Beach. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
how the rocks will be removed.
This is in spite of Environment
Canterbury telling the city
council in April that removal of
the rocks is not a priority and
no action is currently required
for removal. The correspondence
from ECan comes after they held
last year, the city council was
non-compliant with their resource
consents for the roadwork that resulted
in the leftover rocks, meaning
the city council is eventually
required to remove the rocks.
During the meeting, it was
asked why the city council is
spending money on commissioning
reports on the origin
of the rocks, on challenging
the finding of non-compliance
with their original roadworks
consents and on seeking legal
opinions, instead of making a
plan for the rocks’ removal.
Residents’ association
secretary Pat McIntosh
said both it and the community
board shared disappointment in
the city council spending time,
money and effort on avoidance
measures rather than working
on a potential solution.
“From this length of time, it
is reasonable to expect the city
council is working on plans
for the rocks’ removal,” said
McIntosh.
She explained that although
currently, the rocks are not an
issue because they are covered
in sand, as confirmed by ECan,
the conditions will eventually
change and ECan’s order will
have to be re-visited.
“The city council needs to have
plans in place,” McIntosh said.
Davids said it was disappointing
the city council was
spending ratepayers’ money on
challenging the non-compliance
rather than spending it on remediating
the issue.
The city council is wanting
to challenge ECan’s finding of
non-compliance.
Said city council transport
planning and delivery manager
Lynette Ellis:: “City council
does not consider that there is a
breach of the resource consent
and the non-compliance by
Environment Canterbury was
wrongly issued.”
She explained city council
held this view as it does not
consider the rocks to be ‘spoil’
or ‘waste material’ left on the
site, rather they are excavated
material that has been reused on
the site in compliance with the
consent.

In Brief
FREEDOM CAMPING
The city council is calling for
public feedback on proposed
changes to the Freedom
Camping Bylaw. The bylaw has
been in place for five years and
it legally has to be reviewed.
The bylaw has generally been
working well, but city council
staff are recommending a small
number of changes, including
creating a specified area at Naval
Point in Lyttelton where freedom
campers can stay, and limiting
the number of freedom camping
spots to 18 vehicles.
CAR CRASH
Police attended a car crash in
Diamond Harbour at 4.30pm
on Friday. Only one car was
involved. It had left the road and
collided with a large boulder
causing it to overturn. Both
occupants were able to get out of
the car before emergency services
arrived and were lucky to suffer
only minor cuts and bruising.
LIBRARIES BUSY
THere has been a steady increase

Alchemy And Rose
by Sarah Maine
Alchemy And Rose was inspired by the last great gold rush on the west coast of
New Zealand’s South Island in the 1870s.
The quest for gold lured a flood of hopefuls from Europe, America, Australia and Asia
and it brought Will from Scotland, with a price on his head. A shipwreck at the mouth
of the Hokitika river also brought Rose, borne like flotsam upon a wave. It brought
others too, the disgraced and the determined, each with their own quest to follow.
Alchemy is the means by which men seek to turn base metal into gold but, for the
characters in ALCHEMY AND ROSE, there are transformations of another kind. They
come from the old countries to the new, and follow their quests through recklessness,
misadventure, mischief and attempted murder. From Scotland to the goldfields of
New Zealand and on to the booming cities of Victorian Australia they wrestle with fate
to find their fortunes.
Other People’s Houses
by Kelli Hawkins
The perfect house. The perfect family. Too good to be true.
Kate Webb still grieves over the loss of her young son. Ten years on, she spends her weekends
hungover, attending open houses on Sydney’s wealthy north shore and imagining the lives
of the people who live there.
Then Kate visits the Harding house - the perfect house with, it seems, the perfect family. A
photograph captures a kind-looking man, a beautiful woman she knew at university, and a
boy - a boy that for one heartbreaking moment she believes is her own son.
When her curiosity turns to obsession, she uncovers the cracks that lie beneath a glossy
facade of perfection, sordid truths she could never have imagined.
But is it her imagination? As events start to spiral dangerously out of control, could the real
threat come from Kate herself?
The Last Truehart
by darry Fraser
A woman alone and a charismatic private detective are caught up in a dangerous quest
to discover her true identity in this thrilling historical adventure romance set in 19th
century Victoria, from a bestselling Australian author.
1898, Geelong, Victoria. Stella Truehart is all alone in the world. Her good-for-nothing
husband has died violently at the hands of an unknown assailant. Her mother is dead,
her father deserted them before she was born, and now her kindly Truehart grandparents
are also in their graves. Private detective Bendigo Barrett has been tasked with finding
Stella. He believes his client’s intentions are good, but it is evident that someone with
darker motives is also seeking her. For her own part Stella is fiercely independent, but as
danger mounts she agrees to work with Bendigo and before long they travel together to
Sydney to meet his mysterious client where they discover more questions than answers.
What role do a stolen precious jewel and a long-ago US Civil War ship play in Stella’s
story? Will sudden bloodshed prevent the resolution of the mystery and stand in the way
of her feelings for Bendigo? It is time, at last, for the truth to be revealed...
Pretty Things
by Janelle Brown
Nina once bought into the idea that her fancy liberal arts degree would lead to a fulfilling
career. When that dream crashed, she turned to stealing from rich kids in L.A. alongside her
wily Irish boyfriend, Lachlan. Nina learned from the best: Her mother was the original con
artist, hustling to give her daughter a decent childhood despite their wayward life. But when
her mom gets sick, Nina puts everything on the line to help her, even if it means running her
most audacious, dangerous scam yet.
Vanessa is a privileged young heiress who wanted to make her mark in the world. Instead
she becomes an Instagram influencer - traveling the globe, receiving free clothes and
products, and posing for pictures in exotic locales. But behind the covetable facade is a life
marked by tragedy. After a broken engagement, Vanessa retreats to her family’s sprawling
mountain estate, Stonehaven: a mansion of dark secrets not just from Vanessa’s past, but
from that of a lost and troubled girl named Nina. Nina’s, Vanessa’s, and Lachlan’s paths
collide here, on the cold shores of Lake Tahoe, where their intertwined lives give way to a
winter of aspiration and desire, duplicity and revenge.
Someone We Know
by Shari Lapena
It can be hard keeping secrets in a tight-knit neighbourhood.
In a tranquil, leafy suburb of ordinary streets - one where everyone is polite and friendly
- an anonymous note has been left at some of the houses.
‘I’m so sorry. My son has been getting into people’s houses. He’s broken into yours.’
Who is this boy, and what might he have uncovered? As whispers start to circulate,
suspicion mounts.
And when a missing local woman is found murdered, the tension reaches breaking point.
Who killed her? Who knows more than they’re telling? And how far will all these very nice
people go to protect their secrets?
Maybe you don’t know your neighbour as well as you thought you did . . .

VOLUNTEER firefighters
wearing 25kg of kit will tackle
1103 steps up 51 flights of
Auckland’s Sky Tower on
Saturday.
The sweat-fest is all in the
name of raising funds and
awareness for the Leukaemia
and Blood Cancer Foundation
as part of the Sky Tower Stair
Challenge.
Rohin Palmer is the challenger
from the Diamond Harbour
Volunteer Fire Brigade.
This year will be his second
time taking part in the event.
“It’s definitely not easy,” he said.
“It’s more of a mental game,
telling yourself to not give up.”
Last year, he completed the challenge
in 14min 26sec. He’s hoping
to clock in around that time again,
or perhaps even beat it.
Palmer said it’s both a great
cause to support and a great
weekend away meeting other
firefighters from around the
country.
“We all know someone who
has had cancer or been lost to
cancer,” he said.
“It’s good to do this challenge
on their behalf.”
A team from the Lyttelton Volunteer
Fire Brigade is also competing.
They are Andrew Legge,
Craig Smith, Peter Lauryssens,
Coral Mazlin-Hill, Walter Gray,
Philip Leabourn and Kevin Hurl.
Legge is the group’s leader and
it will be the fifth time he has
completed the challenge.
Every year he says he will give
it a miss, but every year he takes
up the mission.
He said it’s pretty tough but
usually “wings it.” His goal is to
complete the challenge in under
20min.
Legge’s favourite part of the
event is the dinner where a cancer
survivor guest speaker takes
to the stage to tell their story.
“There’s always certain stories
that stick with you and you
remember,” he said.
The Lyttelton team has been
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
training for the challenge by
walking up and down the stairs
by Lyttelton tunnel, although
Legge said with a chuckle, some
people have been training more
than others.
“Coral has been walking up
the stairs almost every day since
the first week of January, others
have been walking a few times
a week, I’ve done the staircase
about three times,” he said.
Mazlin-Hill said she looked
“quite the spectacle.”
During their training, she
wears ski pants, heavy gloves,
2kg ankle weights and a 20kg
weight vest, attempting to
replicate the firefighting kit they
will be climbing in. The weight
is basically another third of her
body weight.
“It’s definitely a big challenge
but the fitness and strength gains
have been really relevant and
helpful for my confidence and
performances as a firefighter,’’
she said.
In the last seven years, Lyttelton
has raised $123,270 for the
challenge. Over the past few
years they have had a first, several
second places and a third for
fundraising.

Chief Fire Officer Andrew
Norris said it has been sending
a team for the past six years,
usually raising around $10,000
each time.
“Mike Smith is the eldest (in
his late 50s), but he is usually the
fastest,” Norris said.
“It’s a good bunch heading up
this year. They all put in a fair bit
of training.”
The Sky Tower is the tallest
building in the southern

Lifestyle choice for many living in the
The diverse settlements
on Banks Peninsula
may be small and
far-flung but they
are extremely
engaged. Samantha
Mythen reports on
the latest Banks
Peninsula population
demographics
PEOPLE LIVING in Banks
Peninsula earn, on average, more
than their Christchurch city
counterparts.
Twenty-two per cent of the
Banks Peninsula population,
aged 15 years and older, earn
$70,000 or more. This is higher
than for Christchurch city as a
whole, where only 16 per cent of
the population earn this amount.
The data is detailed in a wardbased
community profile created
by the city council based on data
from the 2018 census.
These have been conducted
since 2011, when the project
first began after the February
22 earthquake to profile the
worst affected suburbs across
Christchurch.
They are ‘snapshots’ of a
community at a certain period
of time.
Banks Peninsula Ward is
made up of eight census areas
– Akaroa, Akaroa Harbour,
Banks Peninsula eastern bays,
Diamond Harbour, Lyttelton,
Governors Bay, Little River and
Port Levy.
Geographically, the area encompasses
the entire peninsula
from the summit of the Port
Hills; 1150 sq km of hills, harbours
and bays.
Alongside, the higher income
levels, on New Zealand’s
Deprivation Index, the
percentage of people living at
the highest end of deprivation in
Banks Peninsula is zero.
In comparison with
Christchurch city as a whole,
Banks Peninsula experiences
lower levels of socio-economic
deprivation with 79 per cent
of the area rated as 1-4 on the
deprivation index.
The factors used to determine
ward’s deprivation scores were
people aged 18-64 receiving a
means tested benefit, those living
in households with income
below an income threshold and
people with no access to internet
at home.
The other factors were those
aged 18-64 without any qualifications,
people aged less than 65
living in a single parent family,
people not living in own their
home, those living in households
below a bedroom occupancy
threshold, people aged 18-64
who were unemployed, and
those living in dwellings that
are always damp or always have
areas of mould bigger than an
A4 piece of paper.
Living in Banks Peninsula is
to many, a lifestyle choice. It is
said to be the “playground” of
Christchurch, with diverse geography
and easy access to nature
being perfect for recreational
activities.
There are an estimated 8850
residents living in this primarily
rural area.
The largest township is Lyttelton
with an estimated 2982
people.
The largest age group living in
Banks Peninsula are those between
30-64 – making up more
than half of the population.
This is significantly more than
the 45 per cent population in
Christchurch.
Those aged between 15-29
make up the smallest proportion
of the population (only 11 per
cent), significantly less than the
22 per cent in Christchurch.
Sixteen per cent of the population
are under 15 years old and
20 per cent are aged 65 years and
over.
There are many holiday homes
scattered throughout the area.

‘playground’
In Akaroa, 62 per cent of
homes are unoccupied dwellings
– used mostly as holiday homes.
However, because of this rental
properties are difficult to secure
in the long-term and this is
limiting opportunities for young
people and families to establish
themselves permanently there.
House prices in Akaroa
are also inflated. The village
experienced the highest median
house price increase in New
Zealand up 58 per cent year-onyear
to $830,000 for the three
months to November 2021,
compared to $525,000 in the
same period the previous year.
Gentrification in Lyttelton
after the earthquakes has
also resulted in rental prices
increasing.
Although the Banks Peninsula
comprises of just two per cent
of the population under the city
council, it makes up 70 per cent
of the total land area.
This rural and natural
environment is highly valued.
There are 145 council owned
parks, including sports parks,
garden and heritage parks,
and regional parks. Many
volunteering groups active in
the ward focus on protecting
the environment, such as for
predator control and native
vegetation regeneration.
In spite of the small population
THE IMPACTS of climate
change and maintenance of
infrastructure remain clear
community issues.
Many Banks Peninsula
communities are likely to be
impacted by sea level rise as
a result of climate change,
including from coastal
erosion, inundation and rising
groundwater.
This can also create further
issues such as access to safe
drinking water.
With increasing temperatures,
there also comes the increased
risk of wildfires.
Due to the geographical
spread over a sparse and diverse
land area, Banks Peninsula is
made of strong communities
who take pride in managing
their environment and engaging
people in both leisure and
volunteering activities.
Community halls, local
wharfs, and reserves provide
“bumping spaces,” where
members of the community can
meet and engage.
For example, community
groups manage 16 of the 19 city
council-owned community
facilities, and there are five
volunteer fire brigades.
There are also 18 community
and residents groups, eight
community development and
support organisations and over
100 sports and recreational
groups.
The area’s foundations are
rich with history, which have
built the societies of today.
Many buildings and structures
are listed with Heritage New
Zealand.
The area also has a significant
Maori heritage with four Ngāi
Tahu Paptipu rūnanga.
However, in spite of the
heritage, the population
comprises of 93 per cent
European ethnicity compared to
eight per cent of Maori. This is
similar to the demographics in
Christchurch city.
distance between communities,
the risk of isolation during
emergencies is also increased.
Many communities can easily
be cut off, often having only one
road in and out of their settlement.
Because of this, communities
need to be as self-reliant as
possible.
A number of wastewater
systems are old and are no
longer compliant with new
regulations. However, the aim to
end discharge of wastewater into
Lyttelton Harbour is on track to
end by 2021.
Further work is needed to
consider the impact of sea level

Banwell, who is the Governors
Bay Community Association
chairwoman, said for the vast
majority of people living in the
Banks Peninsula – it’s because
they can afford too – and they
choose to as living there as it
aligns with their values.
These values foremost include
being close to nature, having
active communities and a village
life.
“We know where we live,
there’s village boundaries.”
Banwell chose to move to Governors
Bay after spending several
years in Australia. Her mother,
drove her over the hill, when
she saw the sun setting over Mt
Evans and thought: “It’s Central
Otago by the sea.”
This access to the sea, city and
nature, sealed her desire to live in
Banks Peninsula.
Banwell not only lives in the
Banks Peninsula, but she works
there as well.
She is programe manager for
rise on septic tanks in low-lying
peninsula communities, and
other aging wastewater systems
need to be addressed,
The maintenance of unsealed
roads and bridges remains an
issue in several communities
such as Birdlings Flat, Little
River and Pigeon Bay.
Although, the annual budget
for rural road maintenance in
the 2020/21 city council budget
was increased, and the Inner
Harbour Road Improvement
Project, from Lyttelton to
Diamond Harbour, is ongoing
to improve that connecting
road.
Whakaraupō as part of the Whaka-Ora

Volunteers shape mountain bike park
• By Samantha Mythen
THE KEEN mountain bike
riders of Heathcote are pumping
their pedals through the valley,
planning winter working bees to
continue the build of a mountain
biking skills park.
Their first get-together was on
Sunday.
The working bees will continue
on the second Sunday of each
month throughout winter: June
13, July 11, and August 8.
Although more than 250
people are members of their
Facebook group, Heathcote
resident Grant Brokenshire
said usually only three to four
people turned up to the previous
working bees.
“The park’s progress is based
on the number of people who
come to help,” he said.
“If 20 people show up each
time with wheelbarrows and
a good attitude, it will be
fantastic.”
Brokenshire is also calling for
anybody interested in helping
build platforms and other timber
structures.
The bike park is next to
Truscotts Rd by Ferrymead
Heritage Park.
The idea for the park started
out as a family project. Last year
during lockdown, Brokenshire’s
two sons and their friends
wanted somewhere local to play
on their bikes. There were some
basic features already around the
place, but they were all quickly
improving on their skills and
wanted more of a challenge.
More and more features and
tracks were built, and it was
eventually decided they would
create a fun space where riders of
all ages and abilities could meet
up, play and learn new biking
skills.
Last year more than 300m³ of
clay was brought in to create over
50 features from beginner to
advanced skill levels. One such
feature is a 1.5m high step down
named Bob.
Brokenshire said more than
1000 hours of work have been
put into building the park, and it
has all been from volunteers.
“We want to promote
community engagement,” he
said.
This year they are hoping to
plant 500 native plants and build
50 more features, including
trials features for those keen trial

bikers in Heathcote Valley. A

They are built this way to allow
the rider to work on difficult

Brokenshire said: “Our longterm
plan is to incorporate the
park with greater bike trails
being built around the

Fruit used as fundraiser for food bank
• By Samantha Mythen
THE FRUITS of a community
organisation’s labour has
resulted in boxes of cleaning
products and personal hygiene
items donated to a food bank.
The Heathcote Valley
Community Fruit Harvesting
group made $180 in two hours
selling quince and marmalade
made from fruit off trees
owned by Heathcote residents.
This money, paired with a
voucher donated from New
World Woolston, was spent on
cleaning products and hygiene
items such as sanitary products,
razers and soap, which
were donated to St Ambrose
Church Aranui Food Bank on
Friday.
Heathcote residents Paula
Aitken and Amelia Knight-
Baré started the harvesting
group last year. They usually
donate fresh fruit, home-made
jam and marmalade to the
food bank.
A team of other volunteers
also help to make the preserves.
At their most recent interaction
with the food bank,
they thought of donating the
essential cleaning and hygiene
products.
“If you can’t afford to buy
food, you won’t be going to
the supermarket to get those

Valley, which they sold to raise funds for buying extra

products,” said Aitken.
Aitken and Knight-Baré did
not know each other prior to
starting their group.
However, they were sharing
the same idea, wondering
about what to do with all the
excess fruit on trees in the
valley.
A mutual friend brought
them together and the group
was formed last year.
The goal is to pick unwanted
fruit from backyards and
orchards to share with those
in need.
Aitken explained ‘fruit fatigue’
is one of the issues with
fruit waste.
“Some trees produce huge
quantities of fruit, year
after year, which can become
burdensome to homeowners.
Busy people often lack the
time it needs to harvest fruit
trees, and to deal with a large
quantity of fruit,” she said.
Aitken said they are both
concerned about the rising
cost of living, and how this
filters to the families food
budget.
“We are mindful that fresh
fruit can be a luxury for some
whanau, so have jumped at the
chance to redistribute fruit
that would otherwise have
gone to waste,” she said.
Aitken said one of the most
special things was meeting
people in the community and
making connections, especially
with those who live alone.
“Heathcote Valley is a generous
community, and has been
a continuous source of support
for our initiative,” she said.
They are hoping to see more
community fruit harvesting
around Christchurch, planning
to advertise on community
message boards to link up
with like-minded people.
“We would love to see
community fruit harvesting
in every area in Christchurch,
and we’re willing to support
those wanting to start up their
own group,” Aitken said.
The group can be found on
Facebook – Heathcote Valley
Community Fruit Harvesting.

• By Samantha Mythen
IN 1954, a group of bright-eyed
and eager five-year-olds huddled
together for a class photo at
Sumner School.
Sixty-seven years later, on
May 10, that same group met
up at Scarborough Fare Cafe for
another class reunion.
Wendy Watson had flown
down from Wanganui. Sarah
Lovell-Smith had driven over the
hill from Governors Bay. Carol
Morton drove in from Oxford.
Russell Craw walked down the
road, still living in Sumner all
these years on.
The class first met up 25 years
after they had finished school,
in October, 1986. The idea for
a reunion was started by Carol
Morton and Linda Cave (née
Brady).
They explained the reason
behind their idea was simply
because they thought it would be
nice to catch up with everyone.
“We wanted to gather people
together,” said Carol.
“We thought it would be fun
and interesting.”
Without the ease of instant
connections via the internet and
social media, the two women
gathered addresses and phone
numbers from parents, other
relatives and phone books.
They then sent a letter to the
classmates they could locate both
in New Zealand and overseas.
Thirty ex-pupils and their families
showed up for the first reunion,
reminiscing over dinner and
drinks into the early hours of the
morning.
They have been catching up
regularly ever since then, with
reunions every five years, and
now every six months for those
who can attend.
Carol said over the years,

through their own detective
work and word of mouth, they
have located more of their classmates.
“One class member said it’s
like a family catch-up. Even if
you haven’t spoken in years,
when we catch up, it’s like nothing
has changed.”
Carol said everyone in her
class went in different directions
with their lives.
When they catch up, she said
there is never any comparisons
or no one “blowing their trumpet.”
At this latest reunion, Carol
said their chatter was paired
with lots of laughter as usual,
discussing the highs and lows of
their days at school.
Some classmates recalled being
cared for by others on the first
day as each other’s “buddies.”
Two women laughed about a
fight behind the dental clinic but
neither recalls why they fought
in the first instance.
Carol said they also shared
stories about their families and
working lives as well as their
lives now.
They all share special memories
of their standard five teacher,
Frank Wreggleswort. He kept in
touch with Linda.

Boat
Pose
POWER VINYASA YOGA
Many people find Apollo’s Power Vinyasa practice to be effective in
relieving and preventing back pain and tension-related types of pain
Boat is a tremendous pose for building strength throughout the mid-section
of your body. It calls for engagement of back muscles, abdominal muscles,
quadriceps and hip flexors. At the same time it stretches your hamstrings. Boat
strengthens your back, confers good posture, builds core stability, improves
balance and gives you a strong sense of self-esteem.
• Sit on the floor with your legs bent, your feet
flat on the floor and your legs together.
• Place your hands behind you around shoulder
width apart.
• Draw your shoulder blades down your back,
lift your chest and lift your chin off your chest.
Do not let your low back collapse towards the
floor.
• Now, bring your hands around and hold the
backs of your knees lightly. Lift your feet off
the floor and straighten your legs. If this is too
much for you have your legs bent with your
shins parallel to the floor.
• Reach your arms straight forward from your
shoulders. Again, if this is too much you may
cup the backs of your knees with your hands
for support or return your hands to the floor
behind you.
• Lift your eye gaze and take five long, slow
breaths before gently releasing down.
Pull in from skin, to muscle, to bone in boat pose
and generate a sense of lift and lightness in your
body. The strength you get from boat pose will
resonate throughout your life, whether in carrying
your child, picking up grocery bags, balancing on
a surfboard or maintaining good posture

Picture framing by
qualified craftsman
Lyttelton Picture Framing in London
Street offers high-quality picture framing
at realistic prices. Malcolm Carne has
owned and operated the business for
over 22 years and has the qualification to
undertake all types of framing – he is a
Guild Commended Framer (GCF), which
is a British qualification in conservation
framing.
“Conservation framing is
about making sure the artwork is
preserved inside the frame, including fitting
UV glass to prevent sunlight damaging it,”
Malcolm says.
He stocks an extensive selection of
mouldings to suit all types of artwork
whether prints or originals, ranging from
beautiful ornate styles to the modern
Scandinavian style of frame.
To complement the artwork and the
frame, Malcolm
has mounts in
a wide range of
colours, and he is
happy to advise
customers on the
right frame and
mount to set off
the artwork.
That artwork
may not
necessarily be
a two-dimensional piece – Malcolm also
frames memorabilia such as medals or other
precious objects a customer may want to
display on the wall.
Lyttelton Harbour 1886
and Lyttelton Heads
1881 by John Gibb
He carries out all
the framing on the
premises, with most
jobs completed within
two weeks, as long as the moulding is
available from the manufacturer, he says.
Lyttelton Picture Framing is located
at the Air, Sea & Land Gallery, a unique
gallery where the focus is on aviation,
automotive and maritime themes. The
fascinating display includes die cast model
cars, artwork depicting seafaring vessels
and cars, books, and
Christchurch’s largest
range of barometers
by German brand
Fischer, still made in
the Black Forest area
of Germany. So, for
Christmas gifts, there
are plenty of unusual items to choose from
here.
You will find Lyttelton Picture Framing

Subaru that won’t get your goat
THE GOOAT – greatest Outback
of all time is Subaru’s slogan
for its latest generation station
wagon.
It’s a kind of corny catchphrase
but there’s no disputing the claim,
the new Outback is surely worthy
of high praise. I see it as competing
squarely with European cars
of similar concept.
The reason for my statement
simply comes down to the quality
of build in the new Outback, it is
full of appointments, the controls
are extensive and the layout
borders on what you would get in
any luxury car.
Yet the Outback hasn’t lost sight
of its purpose, which is the reason
why it is the vehicle of choice for
recreational enthusiasts who see
the model as reliable transport in
and out of low grip sites.
And that is something Subaru
has done well with every iteration
of the Outback, it is a wagon that
could easily double as any sport
utility vehicle, yet it looks and
functions like a station wagon
should. Anyone who knows me
will tell you I like station wagons
and the cavernous load section is
full of purpose.
The Outback will also carry
five occupants in comfort on any
surface, sealed, unsealed or as
Subaru hints – on any goat track.
A few years ago Subaru New
Zealand adopted the policy of
selling all new vehicles here
complete with its symmetrical
four-wheel-drive system. It’s
worked well for the company, and
any buyer who has purchased a
new Subaru will have reaped the
benefits.
For one it is a complete safety
system, providing grip even when
you aren’t aware of it, plus there
is the other benefit of travelling
cross-country or off-road at will,
and that’s where the Outback
comes in, it lives up to its name
with 213mm of ground clearance
and suspension travel that deals
well to uneven surfaces.
On that score, and because the
evaluation car had seen some
loose surface travel, I drove
along the shingle tracks that run
parallel to the Waimakariri River
and experienced a soft, controlled
ride. You can certainly feel the
suspension absorbing the uneven
surfaces, and on a slippery, gentle
incline the driveline can be felt
working to keep wheelspin at bay.
Most of all, the Outback’s
ability to cocoon the occupants
with a sublime ride is pretty
much a miracle and is testament
to those who have developed the
spring and damper rates. I know
Subaru’s association with German
USER-FRIENDLY: Large screen and icons make using the
Outback’s display console easy.
SUBARU OUTBACK: Capable when tackling the high country goat tracks.
shock absorber company Bilstein
has paid dividends over the years,
today’s Outback capitalises on
that development.
There is little trade-off when
cruising the highway. The soft
ride could suggest on-road handling
would be jeopardised, that’s
not the case, even at 1675mm tall
the Outback doesn’t lean awkwardly
and gravitational movement
is well arrested.
Much of the Outback’s overall
handling prowess must be put
down to the quality of the tyres.
The Bridgestone Alenza’s (225/60
x 18in) are a new compound to
me and, although they can’t be
described as deep-treaded as
you would expect for an off-road
vehicle, they have a pattern that
copes well on all surfaces, they
are quiet and provide much information
to the steering wheel.
The loading in a corner is
well-weighted, the entire vehicle
is fully directional. I like vehicles
that give you confidence through
the steering and suspension, the
Outback’s front-strut/rear-double
wishbone system is fully informative,
the messages the driver
receives are very much confidence-boosting.
There’s also a bit of a surprise
under the bonnet, Subaru has introduced
an almost entirely new
engine. Well the boxer design is
the same as before and it’s much
the same capacity – a 2.5-litre. It’s
a four-cylinder unit I’ve long had
an affinity for.
Developing 138kW and
245Nm, the horizontally-opposed
unit is punchy and torquey, delivering
with a distinctive sound
• Price – Subaru Outback
Touring, $57,490
• Dimensions – Length,
4870mm; width, 1875mm;
height, 1675mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder
(boxer), fourwheel-drive,
2498cc,
138kW, 245Nm,
continuously variable
automatic
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 9sec
• Fuel usage – 7.3l/100km
that lets you know there is something
special sitting up front.
Drive is directed through a
continuously variable transmission,
one which Subaru has
constantly developed to the
point where it feels much like a
traditional automatic. However,
it has the advantage of a direct
transfer of power, there is nothing
lost through the transmission.
Consequently, the Outback feels
sprightly, there’s no obvious feel
of weight within the car, even
though it comes in at 1661kg.
Acceleration is strong, the Outback
will reach 100km/h from a
standstill in 9sec, and it will lunge
through a highway overtake (80-
120km/h) in 6sec.
On the subject of figures, Subaru
must be well satisfied with the
fuel usage figures in the newcomer.
It is listed with a 7.3l/100km
combined cycle average. That’s
achievable, when I took the evaluation
car back to the dealership
the internal readout was showing
9l/100km, that aided by a thrifty
4.7l/100km instantaneous readout
at 100km/h (engine speed
1500rpm).
The new Outback is available
in three variants, all with the
same driveline. The series starts
at $49,990, the evaluation car
was the range-topping Touring
at $57,490; in-between there is a
$54,990 X model.
The Touring wants for nothing,
it is a plush, luxury vehicle with
all the trimmings for comfort and
convenience. Full leather trim,
paddle-shifters, clever Eyesight
safety system, SI drive intelligent
drive modes, Harman Kardon
audio and heated and electrically
adjustable seats are all fitted.
I particularly like the large
central console display. It’s about
as big as any I’ve seen previously
in any car and it makes reading
and touching the icons so very
easy. The system displays are
deep and comprehensive, all
of these factors contributing to
why I rate the Outback as a full
luxury car market contender, yet
it offers so much more in terms
of ability.
As much as I enjoyed the
Outback, the Touring model
would be a little out of my reach.
However, my wife has been easily
convinced that the XV is the
Subaru for us as we look towards
retirement.
Subaru’s philosophy and
direction is proving to be a
winning combination, from
where I sit I can say without any
hesitation that interest is growing
strongly, drawing people to the
brand, and its fine vehicles like
the Outback and its stablemates
that are doing that.

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ACT 1991
CHRISTCHURCH DISTRICT PLAN
PROPOSED PLAN CHANGE 7
MANAGING SIGNIFICANT INDIGENOUS
VEGETATION
Christchurch City Council has proposed Plan Change 7 – Managing Significant
Indigenous Vegetation to the Christchurch District Plan.
Plan Change 7 proposes to amend:
a) The definition of improved pasture (contained in Chapter 2 (Abbreviations and
Definitions)) to improve its clarity and application within its associated rule
framework;
b) Six policies contained in Chapter 9.1 (Indigenous Biodiversity and Ecosystems)
to provide clearer direction that assessments of significance should be
provided as part of applications for resource consent to undertake clearance,
and how adverse effects should be managed in coastal and non-coastal areas.
The affected policies are listed below:
i. 9.1.2.2.4 - Mechanisms for the management and protection
of other indigenous vegetation and habitats;
ii. 9.1.2.2.6 - Protection and management of significant indigenous
vegetation and habitats of indigenous fauna listed in Schedule A of
Appendix 9.1.6.1;
iii. 9.1.2.2.7 - Protection and management of other indigenous
vegetation and habitats;
iv. 9.1.2.2.8 - Protection of indigenous vegetation and habitats of
indigenous fauna in the coastal environment;
v. 9.1.2.2.11 – Farm biodiversity plans; and
vi. 9.1.2.2.14 – Offsetting.
c) Appendix 9.1.6.6, which lists indigenous vegetation present on Banks
Peninsula and the Port Hills, and includes size and scale limits that indicate a
point at or above which the vegetation is likely to be ecologically significant,
and that the rules rely on for clearance as a permitted activity below those
limits. Five amendments are proposed to provide a greater level of protection
for the listed vegetation:
1. Table 1: Limit Descriptors – Occupying a contiguous area of
(hectares), canopy cover (%) of, and height (metre) of any
individual plants – Replace all “N/A” values with “0”, so that “N/A”
cannot be interpreted in such a way that the listed vegetation can
be cleared as a permitted activity without compliance with any
limits;
2. Table 1(c): Indigenous coastal vegetation – Extend its geographic
extent to the entire Coastal Environment of Banks Peninsula as
it is currently limited to Kaitōrete Spit and the listed species are
present elsewhere in the coastal environment;
3. Table 1(c): Indigenous coastal vegetation – Introduce a limit for
contiguous area occupied of 0.1 hectare (except for Kaitōrete
Spit in recognition of its significant ecological values, where “0”
(previously “N/A”) is proposed). The proposed maximum limit of
0.1 hectares for clearance as a permitted activity is limited to a
five year period;
4. Table 1(a)(i),(ii) and (c): Indigenous trees and forest and
indigenous coastal vegetation – Introduce a definition of
“contiguous” to include individual plants associated with larger
contiguous plant communities that are likely to be significant.
The effect is that plants are not cleared as a permitted activity
where contiguous; and
5. Table 1(d)(ii): Indigenous wetland vegetation – Introduction of
Three-square (Schenoplectus pungens) a key salt-marsh species
present within Canterbury wetland ecosystems that is not listed in
Appendix 9.1.6.6.
d) Introducing a new permitted, restricted discretionary, and non-complying
activity rule framework that applies to the clearance of indigenous vegetation
within areas of improved pasture in the coastal environment. This results in:
i. Rule 9.1.4.1.1 (Permitted Activities):
A. New rule P5; and
B. Consequential amendments to existing rules P1 and P4.
ii. Rule 9.1.4.1.3 (Restricted Discretionary Activities):
A. New rule RD7.
iii. Rule 9.1.4.1.5 (Non-Complying Activities):
A. Consequential amendment to rule NC1.
