patrol 

a fizzer 

• By Samantha Mythen 

THE LYTTELTON community 

has failed to rally together to 

create a dedicated community 

patrol, but one supporter is not 

giving up. 

In spite of receiving numerous 

online support, no one showed up 

to the meeting resident Rhodry 

Yates had organised on Sunday. 

Only Yates, Banks Peninsula 

Community Board member 

Reuben Davidson, and an 

invited member of the City to 

Sumner Community Patrol were 

present. 

“This is what tends to happen,” 

he said. 

“People say: ‘Yeah, I’m on 

board.’ But then, when it comes 

to taking practical action, it’s just 

crickets.” 

Yates said, in spite of the lack 

of numbers, the meeting went 

well and he is forging ahead with 

practical action.

NEWS 

THE BEST of intentions 

can often fall short, and that 

seems to have happened with a 

meeting to get people involved 

in a community patrol (see 

page 1). 

Lyttelton resident Rhodry 

Yates is trying to rally support 

for a dedicated community patrol 

in the port and surrounding 

areas to curb what he and 

others say is a lot of petty 

crime. He should be applauded 

for that. 

The area is currently covered 

by the City to Sumner Community 

Patrol. 

But nobody turned up to 

the meeting - except for two 

specific invitees, community 

board member Reuben 

Davidson and a City to 

Sumner Community Patrol 

member. 

So either there isn’t the petty 

crime that is being discussed 

on social media, or nobody 

really cares.

Long battle to beat boy racers 

NEWS 3 

In Brief 

‘It’s a bit 

like 

clearing 

gorse’ 


POLICE ARE in it for the 

long-term when it comes to 

stopping boy racers. 

Lyttelton police Sergeant 

Gerard Peoples said the issue 

requires a long-term effort. 

“It is like clearing gorse, you 

have to get on 

top of it and 

keep at it, otherwise 

it will 

keep coming 

back. We are 

in this for the 

long-term,” he 

Gerard 

Peoples 

said. 

Lyttelton 

police, together 

with city traffic units, have been 

conducting operations targeting 

anti-social driver behaviour in 

the harbour area over recent 

months. 

Peoples said they have since 

been receiving positive feedback 

from the local community, such 

as residents from Cass Bay, and 

because of this, know they are 

making an impact. 

In spite of these efforts, 

Governors Bay residents are 

still being woken up in the 

early morning hours by noisy 

vehicles. 

A key problem area is the Dyers 

Pass Rd, Governors Bay Rd 

and Main Rd intersection. 

Jessica Watson said she has 

been woken up at least twice a 

week between 1-3am from people 

doing burnouts. 

She said it was “such a shame” 

as Governors Bay is usually such 

a peaceful place. 

Boy racers have long been an 

issue but police want residents 

to know it is an issue they 

are continually working to 

address. 

Police data from the last two 

months has shown complaints 

received about boy racers in 

Governors Bay has been decreasing. 

For example, police received 

10 complaints about boy racers 

and general traffic issues 

in January compared to six 

complaints in February and 

three in March. 

Said Peoples: “We are aware 

that there are still issues in the 

Gebbies Pass area and that the 

reopening of Dyers Pass Rd will

too. 

result in more through traffic 

but Lyttelton is a small station 

with competing demands, so we 

have to be very targeted in what 

we do.” 

Peoples is encouraging 

the community to continue 

reporting any boy racers, either 

through calling 105 or by 

reporting it online. 

He said, although a unit 

may not be available to attend, 

reporting it will mean the local 

police can accurately track when 

and where the anti-social driver 

behaviour is happening. 

This will mean they can 

tailor future operations 

accordingly. 

OUTWARD BOUND 

THe Sumner Ferrymead 

Foundation is providing the 

opportunity for two residents 

to take part in an Outward 

Bound ‘classic’ course or an 

adapted programme (for 

those with impairments and 

disabilities) in the Marlborough 

Sounds. Application for both 

these courses close June 19. 

Refer to the website www. 

sumnerferrymeadfoundation. 

co.nz/awards.php for criteria and 

application forms. Phone 0274 326 

972 for more information. 

RESERVE MANAGEMENT 

THe Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board recommended 

that the city council accept the 

control and management of the 

reserve at 50 Bridle Path Rd, 

taking over from the Department 

of Conservation. The land area 

will subsequently be managed as 

apart of Birdsey Reserve. 

PUMP KEEPS WATER AWAY 

City council contractors worked 

with Fire and Slice, a pizzeria, 

in Sumner using a pump to 

keep flood water away from the 

business during the weekend 

weather. Fire and Slice has 

previously flooded during storms, 

including in April. 

Outward Bound 

Scholarships 

The Sumner Ferrymead Foundation invites 

applications for two Outward Bound scholarships:

NEW RELEASES 

Churchill & Son 

by Josh Ireland 

A moving and revealing new portrait of Winston Churchill through the most important 

relationship in his life - that with his son, Randolph. 

Few fathers and sons can ever have been so close as Winston Churchill and his only 

son Randolph. Both showed flamboyant impatience, reckless bravery, and generosity 

of spirit. The glorious and handsome Randolph was a giver and devourer of pleasure, 

a man who exploded into rooms, trailing whisky tumblers and reciting verbatim whole 

passages of classic literature. But while Randolph inherited many of his fathers’ talents, 

he also inherited all of his flaws. Randolph was his father only more so: fiercer, louder, 

more out of control. Hence father and son would be so very close, and so liable to 

explode at each other. As much as he idolised Winston and never lost faith in his father 

during the long, solitary years of Winston’s decline, he was never able to escape from 

the shadow cast by Britain’s great hero. The world, big as it was, only had space for one 

Churchill. Instead of the glory he believed was his birthright, Randolph died young, his 

body rotted by resentment and drink, before he could complete his father’s biography. 

Billie Eilish 

by Billie eilish 

Billie Eilish is a phenomenon. With distinctive visual flare and darkly poignant lyrics 

that are unparalleled among music icons of the 21st century, Billie is a musician 

who stands out from the crowd. 

Between her record-shattering award-winning music and her uncompromising and 

unapologetic attitude, it’s no surprise that her fanbase continues to grow by millions 

month after month. She is that rare combination of wildly popular and highly respected 

for her prodigious talent, a once in a generation superstar. 

Now in this stunning visual narrative journey through her life, she is ready to share 

more with her devoted audience for the first time, including hundreds of neverbefore-seen 

photos. 

This gorgeous book will capture the essence of Billie inside and out, offering readers 

glimpses into her childhood, her life on tour, and more. A must-have for any fan. 

The Missing Sister 

by Lucinda riley 

They’ll search the world to find her. From the Sunday Times number one bestselling 

author Lucinda Riley, The Missing Sister is the seventh instalment in the multimillioncopy 

epic series The Seven Sisters. 

The six D’Apliese sisters have each been on their own incredible journey to discover 

their heritage, but they still have one question left unanswered: who and where is the 

seventh sister? 

They only have one clue - an image of a star-shaped emerald ring. The search to find 

the missing sister will take them across the globe - from New Zealand to Canada, 

England, France and Ireland - uniting them all in their mission to complete their family 

at last. In doing so, they will slowly unearth a story of love, strength and sacrifice that 

began almost one hundred years ago, as other brave young women risk everything to 

change the world around them. 

Bridge Over Troubled Dreams 

by delta Goodrem 

The emotional stories behind Delta Goodrem’s sixth studio album. 

In her first-ever book, Australian singer-songwriter Delta Goodrem shares the intimate 

stories behind each of the tracks on her sixth studio album, Bridge Over Troubled Dreams, 

taking readers on a deep dive into her inspiration for each song and revealing the truth 

behind the lyrics. 

From the touching account of her birth – two months premature – to battling bouts of 

missing home and many incredible self-discoveries along the way, Bridge Over Troubled 

Dreams is truly the book of the artist’s life. She speaks candidly about love, family, highs 

and lows, patience, freedom, faith, hope and survival, and how she uses lessons learned 

to drive herself forward. 

Delta’s heartfelt stories are accompanied by never-before-seen pictures from her personal 

collection: candid behind-the-scenes shots, unreleased tour photos and even personal 

snaps from her childhood. 

Faking It: My Life in Transition 

by Kyle Mewburn 

Kyle Mewburn grew up in the sunburnt, unsophisticated Brisbane suburbs of the 1960s and 

‘70s in a household with little love and no books, with a lifelong feeling of being somehow 

wrong - like ‘strawberry jam in a spinach can’. 

In this book, Kyle describes this early life and her journey to becoming her own person - a 

celebrated children’s book author, a husband and, finally, a woman. She shares the dreams, 

the prejudice and the agony of growing up trans and coming out, the lengthy physical ordeal 

of facial feminisation surgery, and her experiences as a woman - good, bad and creepy. 

This is a heartbreaking, often hilarious, candid true story about what it means to hide 

from yourself, your partner and the world, and then to attain the freedom and acceptance 

of being yourself. 

A story with the bittersweet beauty you’d expect from the writer of Old Huhu that is relevant 

for anyone wanting to know and understand the trans experience - or anyone wanting to 

discover who they are and what they are meant to be.

Learning Exchange 

re-inspiring Timebank 


LYTTELTON Timebank has a 

new initiative that encourages 

the community to share its 

passions and skills with others. 

It is called the Learning Exchange. 

Community members run 

workshops teaching others different 

skills and knowledge on a 

diverse range of subjects. 

On Saturday, Marcia Bryant 

talked fashion, helping workshop 

attendees learn about picking 

colours and clothing styles to suit 

their specific selves. 

The first workshop in April 

was held by Pat Scott, who 

shared her ideas of living in a 

carbon neutral planet. 

Another weekly workshop 

focuses on mending clothes. 

Participants meet every Tuesday 

at 10.30am at The Shroom Room 

when sunny, or in Lyttelton 

Library when raining. 

Timebank members can go 

along to any of the workshops 

and pay two timebank credits. 

Other people, who are not 

timebankers, are also welcome to 

attend for a donation. 

Timebank co-ordinator Jill 

Larking said that over the years 

EXCHANGE: Lyttelton Timebank members share their 

passion for sewing and mending. PHOTO SUPPLIED 

they have explored different ways 

of reinvigorating the exchange 

to gather new members and 

keep old members engaged and 

excited. 

“The Learning Exchange is a 

way to re-inspire and breathe 

new light into the Timebank,” 

she said. 

The Lyttelton Timebank 

was the first timebank in New 

Zealand; their moto: “Creating 

community, one trade at a time.” 

Timebanking is a way to trade 

skills in a community. Instead 

of using dollars, time credits 

are used as payment. Timebank 

members earn time credits for the 

work they do, and then use them 

to ‘buy’ another member’s time to 

get the services they need. 

One hour of work always 

equals one time credit, so everyone’s 

time is equal. 

Over the 15 years of activity, 

the Timebank has seen more 

than 800 members. 

“Through trading, you meet 

someone new, you learn something 

new, you can create and 

support the community,” said 

Larking.

In discussion with Davidson, 

Yates has decided to discard his 

original idea of a petition for a 

“better safeguarded community.” 

“Petitions are great for lobbying,” 

he said. 

“But with this stuff, people 

will happily sign it, and then 

that’s it. But that’s not enough.” 

The group discussed 

putting up a billboard 

advertising the patrol 

with a call for new 

members, as well as 

passing out flyers with 

information on who to 

call if suspicious activity 

is seen. 

“We need to advertise 

the community patrol 

and get at least 20 new 

members inducted and on 

board,” he said. 

Yates and friend, Lyttelton 

business owner Matteo Sgaggero 

are hoping to join the community 

patrol. 

“It takes nothing to complain 

but a whole level of effort is 

required if you want change,”

Police encourage

Yates 

said Yates. 

“If you want extra, you have to 

do extra.” 

Said Davidson: “Rhodry is a 

great example of someone who 

has spoken out on an issue and 

who is also committing their 

own time and energy to doing 

something about it.” 

Davidson hopes this will inspire 

more people to commit. 

“If they do, we will 

end up with a dedicated 

Lyttelton community 

patrol.” 

Lyttelton police 

Sergeant Gerard 

Peoples said: “I 

encourage anyone who 

is keen to be involved 

with the community 

patrol to become a 

member.” 

Police were not specifically invited 

as it was just a meeting to 

test the waters and gather ideas 

for the patrol. 

“If people want the Lyttelton 

community to be safer, people 

need to be on board, taking 

action, sacrificing their time and 

energy,” said Yates.

BNZ Akaroa closes its doors 


AKAROA’S BNZ bank has 

closed after 140 years of service 

to the community. 

Last Friday was its final day 

and the staff were thanked by 

the community. 

The employees were offered 

new positions in an on-call service 

with BNZ. 

Akaroa Heartlands co-ordinator 

Kerry Little said the closure 

of the BNZ bank, which was the 

only bank in the village, would 

have a huge impact on the community. 

“Another face-to-face service 

has been lost,” she said. 

“Services like the bank are so 


LIBRARIES CAN be so much 

more than books on shelves. 

They can be a community hub. 

This is why Akaroa resident 

Victoria Andrews and Akaroa 

Heartlands co-ordinator Kerry 

Little are making a bid to start 

a Friends of the Library in their 

village. 

This is a community-based 

group of library supporters who 

work together in partnership 

with Christchurch City Libraries 

important to a rural and isolated 

community such as Akaroa. It is 

more important than ever to stay 

connected.” 

The closest BNZ bank to 

to advocate and raise funds to 

support the work of the library. 

Akaroa library has been lacking 

any form of volunteer team 

since 2019. 

City council head of libraries 

and information Carolyn Robertson 

said the volunteer team 

was disestablished in order to 

create a consistent approach to 

staffing and process across the 

Christchurch City Libraries 

network. 

“At the time it was felt that 

the volunteers could continue

employees.

Akaroa is in Rolleston. 

This poses a problem to 

Akaroa residents as an ageing 

population and there is also no 

public transport in the village. 

The expectation is that people 

will use online services. 

Said Little: “This is just 

another service we are 

losing.” 

“The bank is more than a 

bank. The bank tellers know the 

community really well. They 

have seen children grow up. 

They can check in on people 

when they visit the bank, helping 

the community to keep an eye 

on each other.” 

Akaroa BNZ has closed alongside 

38 other BNZ branches in 

the past six months. 

BNZ said the decision to 

close the branches is due to the 

majority of banking now being 

conducted online. 

Group forming community hub at library 

to support the library in other 

ways, such as forming a Friends 

of the Library,” she said. 

However, a friends of the 

library group was never created. 

Andrews and Little are hoping 

to form the group this year 

though. The possibility is currently 

being explored with the 

city council. 

Little said it is really important 

to have a group like this as the 

Akaroa community is isolated 

and aging. 

“We don’t have a shopping 

mall or many places where we 

can gather to talk,” she said. 

“This is about having a hub 

where people can meet face to 

face.” 

Andrews suggested the new 

group could help support book 

groups, organise educational 

guest speakers, and run programs 

for adults and children. 

“This would help people to feel 

apart of the community through 

the service they provide,” she 

said. 

“It can be a special hub.”

of Redcliffs 

school earns 

major award 

TE RAEKURA Redcliffs School 

has been awarded the supreme 

award at the New Zealand 

Commercial Project 2021 

Awards. 

The school, constructed by 

Naylor Love Canterbury and its 

project partners, took out the 

coveted top award along with the 

construction marketing services 

education category award and 

the commercial project over 

$15m value award. 

The winning project team was 

tasked with the challenge of constructing 

a new school on top of 

an important archaeological site. 

The area was home to one of the 

largest Māori settlements in the 

South Island. 

“This project responds to the 

many challenges of the site, 

including residential neighbours, 

difficult ground conditions, 

proximity to the shoreline and 

archaeological significance,” 

comments this year’s judges. 

The $18.5 million campus 

opened in June 2020, almost 

nine years after the Christchurch 

earthquakes forced the school to 

relocate. It features 13 teaching 

spaces, several administration 

rooms, a library and a multipurpose 

hall.

Harbour maintenance in good hands 

Crew formed 

company 

named 

after Last of 

the Summer 

Wine 


AT 10AM every Wednesday at 

the Charteris Bay Yacht Club, 

a group of retired and semiretired 

people gather, including a 

mariner, an engineer, a professor, 

a couple of builders, a US Air 

Force general, and a lawyer. 

Together, they form the Last of 

the Summer Wine Construction 

Company. 

Started in 1998 by avid seafarers 

and yacht enthusiasts – Paul 

Pritchett, Malcolm Pearson and 

Ken Nesbit – the company helps 

the community through maintenance 

and construction jobs. 

“Ken and I were both builders. 

I was building boats with my 

business in Church Bay and 

Ken had just retired. We started 

doing odd jobs over at Charteris 

Bay,” Paul recounted of the 

group’s beginnings. 

“Then Malcolm joined, and we 

put seats up along the shoreline 

and started doing a few things 

for the yacht club.” 

One of their first jobs was 

fixing the jetty, at what locals call 

“Traffic Cops Bay.” 

Paul recalled previous Bay 

Harbour News editor Rob Davison 

had stopped by and asked 

the men what they were doing. 

Ken piped up: “We’re the Last 

of the Summer Wine Construction 

Company.” 

And in a spur of the moment, 

the group was named. 

The company had just three 

members for about three years 

but as friends and members of 

the yacht club retired, they too 

joined the construction crew, the 

group increasing in numbers. 

Alan Poore, had been living 

overseas and in planning to 

come back to New Zealand asked 

if he could join the company. 

With their cheeky nature, 

the men requested Alan write a 

formal application letter to join 

the group and said he must pass 

an IQ test. 

Luckily, he passed. 

The oldest member now is 

nearly 92 with several in their 

80s. 

All of the company members 

have been given relevant nicknames 

of characters from the 

BBC comedy the group is named 

after. 

Paul said he is “the short, little 

grubby one, Compo.” 

Ken, as “leader of the show,” is 

Foggy. 

Every Wednesday morning, 

once the tea cups are empty and 

the cheese and cracker plates 

cleared, they don gumboots and

paint-covered clothes, and head 

out to work on their next project. 

Over the past 23 years, the 

LOTSW construction company 

has taken part in numerous 

maintenance projects for the 

yacht club, as well as for the 

Head to Head Walkway, Orton 

Bradley Park, and on Tug Lyttelton. 

Some of their biggest projects 

include assisting in the rebuild of 

the club’s main jetty, rebuilding 

the jetty for the boat Te Wharau, 

stripping down, repairing and 

repainting Te Wharau, extending 

Te Wharau’s shed and building 

a new trolley for the boat, 

re-bracing the clubhouse interior 

and re-cladding and repainting 

the entire exterior of the clubhouse 

in a brilliant sky blue. 

The clubhouse was built in 

1946, constructed by working 

bees, and since then, as the hive 

of the club’s activities, has undergone 

many more modifications. 

“I really enjoyed doing maintenance 

on the boat Te Wharau, 

who is about the same age as I 

am,” said Philippa Drayton, the 

group’s sole female member. 

“Malcolm did most of the 

painting and I was left with the 

parts to paint where there was 

almost no room to paint at all,” 

she said. 

Philippa joined the club in 

2014. 

She had been taking part in 

a working bee helping out with 

maintenance of the Te Wharau 

shed. They did not finish the job 

that day and someone told her to 

come back on Wednesday. 

That Wednesday, she was 

introduced to the LOTSW construction 

company. 

“They seemed to accept me 

with my skill set,” she laughed. 

“Most of these guys have 

an amazing range of skills – I 

mean master mariner who can 

climb anything and use sky 

hooks, then engineers, farmers 

and builders – real professional 

trades,” she said. 

Philippa said if she wants to 

learn something new, she just 

asks for help and the others are 

more than happy to share their 

knowledge. 

The members of the LOTSW 

construction company know 

Rome was not built in a day, and 

work is competed at a steady 

pace accompanied always by 

good humour. 

“It does not necessarily look 

like we do a lot,” said Philippa. 

HARD AT WORK: Members of the LOTSW Construction 

Company rebuilding a launching ramp at Charteris Bay 

Yacht Club, 

“But by the time you put in 

eight hours times five to 10 people 

a week, that’s a heck of a lot 

of work.” 

Peter Harding said every 

Wednesday they are blessed 

with good weather – the yacht 

club is a haven in sunlight 

breaking through the cloud-covered 

city. 

Jeff Morrison added that if the 

weather is bad, there are always 

cups of tea to demolish. 

“But we do get a lot of work 

done,” said Malcolm. 

Malcolm, a nonagenarian at 

91, is involved in most projects, 

although, he’s not allowed up 

ladders now. 

In his youth, able-bodied seaman 

Malcolm, ran across ropes 

and climbed the four 180ft masts 

of Pamir – the last commercial 

sailing ship to round Cape Horn. 

The barque was taken from 

Finland as a prize during World 

War 2. 

It remains the only “enemy” 

vessel ever to be seized by New 

Zealand. 

When Malcolm was very 

young, his sailor father once ordered 

him by saying: “You’ll never 

go to sea with that drunken 

lot,” however, Malcolm dedicated 

his life to exploring the world via 

the ocean highway. 

Paul said: “We’ve always had 

trouble holding Malcolm back. 

He has absolutely no fear of 

heights.” 

A few years ago, a strong 

southerly gale had blown a catamaran 

over in the water and it 

was stuck on a pile. The company 

put a plank out to try and reach 

the boat, and it was Malcolm 

who walked out. 

“No one else was game. The 

wind was gale force,” said Paul. 

Most of the members live 

around the area, such as in Purau 

or Church Bay, or they have 

baches nearby. 

“I’m the club’s next door 

neighbour,” said Philippa. 

“I live at the top of the driveway.” 

Several members commute 

from Christchurch for the weekly 

catch up. 

Jeff Morrison said he was 

“sucked in” to the group. His 

border collie Penny always joins 

him at the meet-ups, constantly 

nosing into the groups activities, 

dropping sticks at feet in the 

hope they will be thrown and a 

game of fetch will commence. 

Jeff was given a copy of the 

Last of the Summer Wine TV 

show for Christmas from the 

group. 

David Nesbit, Ken’s son, joined 

the group after becoming a 

“chauffeur” for his father. Ken 

had a stroke and was told he 

could not drive, so “young and 

strong” David took him to the 

meet-ups. 

“I thought it was the least I 

could do,” he said. 

Retired lawyer Hec Dawson 

said he joined the company “because 

of the companionship.” 

“It is something to do in my 

retirement.” 

Every week someone will turn 

up at the yacht club. 

“It’s a way of contributing to 

the local community, picking 

up some skills, it’s a good social 

activity,” said Philippa. 

However, as the group have 

got older, they chose to leave the 

strenuous work for others. 

“Yes we move more slowly 

than a 20-30 year old, but the 20- 

30 year olds are out working and 

aren’t available to do that work. 

We older folk can get a heck of a 

lot done over a period of time,” 

said Philippa. 

“We are just doing a little bit 

by little bit but gradually, it all 

comes together.” 

The group was not allowed to 

fix the clubhouse roof. 

“We’re a danger to each other, 

let alone ourselves,” chuckled 

Paul. 

Lunch is at 12.30pm. The 

members head back into the 

clubhouse for more tea, sandwiches, 

and storytelling. 

“Another Malcolm incident,” 

recalls Paul. 

They were moving a heavy 

umbrella and were trying to lift 

it up and put it into the hole. 

Retired Brigadier General for 

the United States Air Force Tom 

Kuenning, a new member at 

the time, was left holding the 

heavy end of the umbrella, while 

Malcolm and the others tried to 

pull it up with guy ropes. 

Tom, “left breaking his back 

for 10 minutes,” said in exasperation 

to Malcolm, “We’re in the 

nuclear age, not the sailing ship 

days.” He could not understand 

why it was taking so long to lift 

the umbrella up with the rope 

system when there were more 

“modern” ways to complete the 

action. 

Philippa comes back each week 

for the stories that Malcolm and 

the rest of the company share 

about their life experiences. 

“They say women can talk, but 

these guys . . . well, once they get 

going.” 

“It’s good company, never 

boring,” she said.

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 Tanya Jenkins writes 

about the annual “Mother of all clean-ups”. 

ON THE weekend of 

Mothers Day (May 8) the 

Estuary Trust, together 

with Drinkable Rivers 

group, the Avon River and 

Heathcote River network 

groups, Cassels Tannery 

and City Care, conducted 

the annual “Mother of all 

clean-ups” event. 

Forty-three community 

groups (1009 volunteers) 

plus 20 schools (approx. 

1,300 students) collected 

carelessly discarded 

rubbish from our two 

rivers’ banks and along the 

estuary edge. 

From Southshore to 

Shag Rock and along both 

the Avon and Heathcote 

Rivers, volunteers spent 

two hours picking up 

cans, straws, glass, tyres, 

polystyrene pieces, plastic 

wrapping and bags, bottle 

tops and more, which 

otherwise would have 

ended up in our rivers and 

estuary, and from there in 

our ocean. 

Once in the ocean, 

many of these items become 

killing devices. We 

have all seen recordings or 

documentaries, or heard 

of sea turtles choking on 

plastic bags, birds eating 

polystyrene pieces (thinking 

it is food), animals cut 

by broken glass and birds 

entangled in litter. 

Did you know that a 

few years ago we found a 

Hector’s dolphin floating 

in the estuary, which was 

killed after a single plastic 

blue bottle top lodged in 

its blowhole, causing it to 

suffocate? 

A whopping 2.6 tonnes 

of rubbish was collected 

(519 rubbish bags), plus 

over 100 large items, 146 

piles of dog poo and 19 car 

tyres. 

McCormacks Bay 

sportsground had the 

dubious honour of being 

the “worse site of the year” 

where just over 1200 food 

and drink packaging items 

were collected. 

But one clean up event 

does not solve the issue, as 

next month there will be 

more litter. 

What can we do to stop 

this problem? Think “High 

Five – I can pick up five.” 

When supporting a 

sports game outside, going 

for a walk with the dog or 

just heading out for fresh 

air and enjoyment, take a 

bag and pick up just five 

items. 

Also remember to take 

rubbish home and dispose 

of it properly, including 

your dog’s poo. 

Do not litter yourself, 

and regularly check the 

gutters in front of your 

home for litter, as this will 

end up in the stormwater 

system, then in our rivers 

and estuary. 

Imagine if we all did 

that? We would no longer 

have a litter problem to 

take care of. It is too 

easy really.

Locals helping locals 

THE SUMNER Community 

Garden is an organisation that 

plants, cultivates and harvests 

produce. 

A small group of enthusiastic 

gardeners meet every Tuesday 

morning at Ko Taku Reo (formerly 

van Asch School for the 

Deaf) where they work on a 

number of different gardens; 

there’s the apple orchard, the 

food forest, the heritage fruit garden 

and the community garden. 

And as any gardener knows, it’s 

not just growing produce that’s 

important, it’s the camaraderie 

that goes with gardening with 

others that adds to the enjoyment. 

The Sumner Community Garden 

had inherited a tunnel house 

when it moved to the van Asch 

site after the earthquakes, but 10 

years on it was way past its use 

by date so the call went out for 

funds to buy a new one. 

They approached the Sumner 

Ferrymead Foundation for help 

because of the synergy between 

the two organisations – locals 

helping locals. 

“We have had a diverse group 

of people who have worked with 

us over the years” Kathryn Newbery 

of the Sumner Community 

Garden said. 

“While some of them are 

passionate gardeners others 

may have come along because 

they are new to the area and 

want to meet others, or they are 

recovering from an illness and 

find gardening is a great form of 

therapy. 

“During lock down last year 

we had quite a few people from 

overseas who were staying with 

their families and were unable to 

travel home, so they too enjoyed 

coming down to help with the 

garden. Really it’s about the 

people rather than the plants,’’ 

she said. 

The Sumner Ferrymead Foundation 

was established in the 

early 90s to help locals achieve 

their dreams be it in education, 

the arts, environment, health, 

sport and recreation to name a 

few so supporting the Sumner 

Community Garden was a natural 

fit for the Foundation. 

Said Jane Paterson, a trustee 

of the Foundation: “Community 

gardens are a wonderful way to 

bring a community together, plus 

it’s great to see surplus produce 

being given to the local community 

either through the ‘plenty to 

share’ table in Sumner Village or 

the ‘ninja produce drops’ where 

residents discover an unexpected 

bag of, say, tomatoes on their 

doorstep. 

“We’re always pleased when we 

can help local residents, and it’s 

even better when they can pay it 

forward and help others too.’’ 

The Sumner Community 

Garden is keen to recognise 

those that help them so the 

Sumner Ferrymead Foundation 

logo will appear on the tunnel 

house. 

“We’ve had the occasional bequest 

too so we want to work out 

the best way to recognise those 

people,” Kathryn said. 

“Raising money is always a 

challenge, so we really want to 

acknowledge those that help us.” 

And raising funds is not the 

only challenge the community 

garden faces; they want to future 

proof the garden by recruiting 

more locals who are prepared to 

regularly join them on Tuesday 

mornings. 

No prior gardening knowledge 

or experience is required, just 

a keen interest to learn and get 

involved. 

“We love sharing this little 

beautiful oasis in the heart of 

Sumner and welcome everyone 

of all ages and abilities; although 

if you were strong enough to 

dig and lift, so much the better,” 

Suzie Kaschula, who has been 

gardening at the community 

garden for 10 years said.

When will I get 

my COVID-19 

vaccinations? 

A quick guide for people in Canterbury | Waitaha 

We are currently vaccinating Group 1, Group 2 and a limited number of people in Group 3*. 

Group 1 

Group 2 

Includes border and MIQ workers and their household contacts. 

Includes frontline health workers, people working and living in long-term 

residential care, and older Māori and Pacific people being cared for by 

whānau, the people they live with and their carers. 

Group 3 

Includes people aged 65 and over and those with underlying conditions and 

disabilities * . 

*The people we’re currently vaccinating in Group 3 include some people aged 65 and 

older and some people residing in rural areas. 

We’re vaccinating people in Group 3 in rural areas with small populations because of 

the time and cost associated with visiting the location several times. 

We’ll continue to invite more people in Group 3 to book through June and July. 

If you are in Group 3, you don’t need to do anything right now. 

We’ll contact you by text, phone call or letter when it’s your turn. 

Group 4 

Includes everyone, aged 16 or over. Group 4 vaccinations will start from July. 

Please be patient – we will have enough 

vaccine for everyone in New Zealand

FOOD & WINE 


Versatile rice can be used many ways 

Rice is very much a 

staple food, these 

recipes are simple yet 

tasty and can be served 

as pre-dinner nibbles 

or as part of a meal. 

Arborio rice could be 

substituted for the 

sticky rice. In spite of 

its alternative name of 

‘‘glutinous rice’’, sticky 

rice does not contain 

the form of gluten 

dangerous to those 

with gluten intolerance 

Sticky coconut rice with 

fresh mango 

Serves 4 

Ingredients 

2 cups rice, (glutinous) 

2 cups coconut cream, plus extra 

for garnish 

½ cup sugar 

1 tsp Salt 

2 pandan leaves, (optional) 

2 mangoes, ripe, sliced 

1 garnish sesame seeds 

Directions 

Rinse the rice well. Place in a 

bowl and cover with water up to 

6cm above the rice. Leave to soak 

overnight. 

Drain the rice and place in a 

muslin-lined steamer (or a conical 

Thai rice steamer). 

Cover with a lid, then allow the 

rice to steam over boiling water 

for 30min until it is translucent, 

softened and chewy. While the 

rice is steaming, tip the coconut 

cream into a separate saucepan 

and stir in the sugar, salt and 

pandanus leaves. 

Simmer for about 10min over 

a very gentle heat. Remove from 

the heat, allowing the leaves to 

flavour the sauce. 

When the rice is cooked, 

remove the leaves from the sauce 

and pour most of it over the rice, 

keeping a little for drizzling over 

the completed dish. 

When ready to serve, spoon 

the rice onto individual plates, 

arrange mango slices or cubes 

beside it and garnish with a little 

extra sauce and sesame seeds. 

Sticky rice cakes with 

cheese and herbs 

Ingredients 

Cakes: 

1 cup sticky rice 

1/½ cups cold water 

2 each: shallots, garlic cloves, 

diced 

1 tbsp olive oil 

¾ cup grated tasty cheese 

½ cup finely grated parmesan 

cheese 

¼ cup chopped mixed 

herbs such as thyme, basil, 

oregano 

Flaky sea salt and freshly 

ground black pepper 

2 large egg whites 

Coating: 

½ cup breadcrumbs 

¼ cup finely grated parmesan 

cheese 

Rice and 

mangoes 

are a perfect 

combination, 

add a 

coconut 

sauce for 

extra taste. 

Directions 

Put rice in a saucepan with 

water. Bring to boil, cover 

and simmer for about 15min 

until rice is cooked and water 

absorbed. Drain and cool. 

Preheat oven to 220 deg C. 

Lightly oil an oven tray. 

Saute shallots and garlic in oil, 

until softened. 

Stir, together with cheeses, 

herbs and seasonings into rice 

mixture. 

Whip egg whites until stiff 

peaks form and fold in. 

Form into large walnut-sized 

balls. Coat in combined crumbs 

and cheese, place on tray and 

cook for about 20min until golden. 

Stand for 5min before 

transferring to a serving platter. 

Great with chutney. Serve warm 

or at room temperature. 

Makes 20 

Feijoa and lime muffins 

Serves 10 

Ingredients 

3 limes 

60gm butter, (melted) 

2 large eggs 

200gm plain flour 

2½ tsp baking powder 

100gm sugar 

1 cup feijoa, peeled and 

diced(about 6-8) 

Directions 

Preheat the oven to 180 deg C. 

Place paper cup liners in a muffin 

pan. 

Using a zester, take strips of 

zest from one of the limes and 

reserve for the top of the muffins. 

Finely grate the zest of the other 

two and squeeze the juice from all 

three. Tip this into a large bowl 

with the melted butter and eggs. 

Whisk together until light and 

fluffy. Sieve the flour with the 

baking powder and fold gently 

into the mixture with the sugar. 

Finally, fold in the feijoas and 

fill the muffin cups three-quarters 

full. 

Sprinkle the tops with a 

little extra sugar and the reserved 

zest. 

Bake for 20-25min until 

golden and firm to the touch 

when patted. 

Now is the time for rieslings to shine 

• By Mark Henderson 

LIKE A LOT of people involved 

in the wine industry, I love 

riesling, and have also sometimes 

pondered whether it might be 

riesling’s moment to shine in the 

sun. It never does, as the broader 

public just don’t seem to ‘‘get’’ 

riesling. 

Visiting one of the major 

supermarkets recently reinforced 

this thinking. 

There was but the tiniest wedge 

devoted to riesling – they clearly 

don’t feel they have demand, so 

don’t stock them. That may make 

some of the following wines 

harder to find, but they are well 

worth the hunt. 

2019 Pegasus Bay Bel 

Canto dry riesling 

Price: $38 

Rating: Very good to excellent 

A whiff of struck match, 

honey, apple skin, lemon drops. 

At the drier end of the riesling 

spectrum, fresh and bright, with 

fruit sweetness underpinning it 

all. 

Quite a weighty palate, time 

exposing a little apricot kernel 

and citrus. 

Easy drinking. Tried later and 

this has fattened, the flavours 

hanging forever on the finish. 

May have been a little closed; I 

may be underscoring this. 

www.pegasusbay.com 

2018 Pegasus Bay 

riesling 

Price: $30 

Rating: Excellent 

Subtle at first, yet attractively 

floral with citrus, spice and sweet 

fruit lift. 

Powerful in the mouth, a 

textural weight and richness, yet 

retaining freshness and vibrancy 

with the acidity deftly cutting 

through the honeyed richness. 

The flavours hang in the mouth 

on the long finish. Already 

delicious, but history tells us this 

will amply reward cellar time. 


2019 Main Divide North 

Canterbury riesling 

Price: $20.99 

Rating: Outstanding 

A deeper, almost brooding 

character with smoke, herbs, 

apple and a lifted fragrance 

building with air. 

Full of flavour yet with a 

lightness and delicacy in the 

mouth. 

Honey and summer fruits with 

a little orange/mandarin zest, the 

acidity neatly judged to keep this 

fresh and lively. Super balance 

and a gorgeous finish. 

Superb stuff and great value 

here. 

www.maindivide.com 

2018 Pegasus Bay Aria 

Late Harvest riesling 

Price: $42 

Rating: Excellent 

Musk and comb honey, spices, 

red apple, white flowers. 

Rich and weighty, almost oily 

in its density, the musk and honey 

driving the palate, adding spiced 

apple, with the acidity sweeping 

in to give this lift. 

A hint of almond gives a 

bittersweet note as a foil to the 

sweetness. 

Intense, powerful and a dessert 

in itself, or perhaps pair this with 

fresh fruit? 


2020 Felton Road 

Bannockburn riesling 

Price: $41 

Rating: Outstanding 

Powerfully floral and fragrant 

with honey, lavender; a warm 

baguette note with time. While 

there is sweetness here, the racy 

acidity neatly balances that 

making it appear drier than it is. 

This grows in the glass, 

displaying its inherent power and 

texture, completely filling the 

mouth and drawing you back for 

more. 

The flavours hang on the lipsmacking 

close. Delicious. 

www.feltonroad.com 

2018 Riverby Estate 

Sali’s Block Single 

Vineyard Marlborough 

riesling 

Price: $22 

Rating: Very good 

Floral and fragrant, herb, apple, 

a spicy note. 

The lighter bodied palate 

continues the theme on the nose 

and while clean and fresh it 

initially feels somewhat reticent. 

Aeration allows this to come out 

of its shell, with fruit sweetness 

growing as it builds in flavour 

intensity. 

Very easy drinking.

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.

Insulate your home! 

Heat can escape your home through 

the walls, floors and ceilings. 

Insulation prevents this, acting as a 

barrier between inside and outside 

temperatures. It’s an ideal, low cost way 

to maintain a comfortable temperature 

all year round, and it’ll also make your 

home more energy efficient.

Healthy homes start here 

Our homes play an important role in our lives 

It’s estimated that 70% of a person’s time is spent inside their home, so it should be a place we feel 

safe, healthy and comfortable in. 

On average, a New Zealand household spends around $2,500 per year on energy and heating. A healthy home is one that is warm 

and dry, connected with nature, and uses energy and water efficiently - saving you money. 

Whether you’re a homeowner, renter or landlord looking to comply with the Healthy Homes Standards, there are lots of big and 

small changes that can make a home healthier. 

Visit mitre10.co.nz/healthyhomes to find out how we can help you make your home healthier.
