Couple thought honours 

recognition was a scam 

• By Samantha Mythen 

WHEN FRANCIS and Shireen 

Helps opened up their email 

and saw ‘Queen’s Birthday 2021 

Honours’ in the subject line, 

they almost deleted the email, 

thinking it was a scam. 

On better judgement and 

noting the formality of the 

email, Shireen decided to read 

further. 

The Helps, who have 

dedicated 40 years of their life 

to conservation work protecting 

kororā blue penguins and 

hoiho yellow-eyed penguins, 

and nurturing biodiversity on 

their home at Pōhatu Flea Bay, 

south-east of Akaroa, were 

“surprised” to learn they had 

both become members of the 

New Zealand Order of Merit. 

They shared a giggle when 

they realised the email was 

legitimate. 

“We didn’t expect it, we are 

just doing things that have to be 

done, like New Zealanders do,” 

said Francis. 

“It was quite a surprise and 

quite a thrill,” said Shireen. 

She said it was a nice 

confirmation what they had 

done over the years had been 

recognised.

WELL DONE: Francis and Shireen Helps were recognised in the Queen’s Birthday 

Honours for their conservation work, which includes protecting kororā blue penguins. 

IN ASSOCIATION WITH 

Research 

shows 

high tide 

increase 

NEW RESEARCH has found 

the biggest increase in high tide 

levels across Christchurch is at 

the Ferrymead Bridge. 

The maximum increase was 

84mm. 

This, alongside other new high 

tide statistics, has provided the 

city council with a greater understanding 

of the flood risk in 

Christchurch’s tidal areas. 

Engineering consultancy GHD 

Christchurch, in collaboration 

with Netherlands-based flood 

risk experts HKV, put the statistics 

together using advanced 

analysis that looks at sea level 

influences. 

These include weather patterns, 

such as significant rainfall events, 

sea-level rise, and the effects of 

wind and waves on the sea. 

The companies were 

commission by the city council, 

which hopes to understand the 

frequency of high water levels at 

various locations around the city. 

The research shows a slightly 

higher water level for most 

high tide levels than was calculated 

when the statistics for 

Christchurch were last reviewed 

in 2018.

CHAOS: The damage caused by a drink driver and volunteers who turned up to help with repairs. 

Drink driver ploughs into fence 


VOLUNTEERS donned gloves 

and shovels and got to work on 

Saturday after a drink driver 

ploughed through The Bays 

Kidsfirst kindergarten and 

community garden fence in Mt 

Pleasant. 

The 44-year-old driver was 

uninjured in the incident last 

Tuesday night. He has been 

charged with excess breath 

alcohol and will appear in court 

in July. 

Community garden co-ordinator 

Jocelyn Papprill said the 

fence was shattered, trees were 

uprooted, garden beds destroyed 

and pieces of the vehicle strewn 

everywhere. 

Papprill was out of the city 

when she got the call about the 

chaos. After she arrived home 

on Friday she reached out to 

the community, and a working 

bee was promptly organised for 

Saturday. 

Nine residents turned up 

including city councillor Sara 

Templeton, who brought a freshly-baked 

banana loaf along. 

“While it was gutting to have 

the fence so badly damaged, 

the community response was 

wonderful and it was great to get 

stuck in to tidy up as a group,” 

said Templeton. 

They spent two-and-a-half 

hours clearing up the damage. 

A large trailer load of green 

waste went into landfill, along 

with the broken car pieces. Uprooted 

trees were broken down 

for firewood or saved to rot into 

insect homes at the back of the 

garden. 

A raised tyre bed had been 

shunted sideways by the crash. 

It was placed back into position, 

refilled with dirt and replanted 

with seedlings donated by 

community members and by the 

Linwood Community Garden. 

“The area certainly looked 

much tidier but to repair the 

gap in the fence will take a while 

longer,” said Papprill. 

Hot tea, paired with Templeton’s 

banana loaf and a rhubarb 

crumble cake specially baked by 

the Mt Pleasant cafe, ended the 

working bee. 

“What would we do without 

people willing to volunteer their 

time – a team effort gets a job 

done quicker and it’s much more 

fun,” said Papprill.

Recognition a 

Māori, disability and 

group effort 

• From page 1 

Francis said that it was a nice 

thanks for all they had done, but 

it also held meaning for the next 

generation, encouraging them to 

continue the work to protect the 

penguins. 

Shireen said there are people 

out there just as deserving of the 

honours. 

She said they were originally 

inspired by their neighbour Mark 

Armstrong and the predator 

trapping he was doing on his 

property. 

They took up the protection 

call, and after years of trapping, 

making nest boxes, monitoring 

and rehabilitation, the Helps have 

stabilised the penguin colony at 

Pōhatu Flea Bay. 

Pōhatu Flea Bay now has 1260 

breeding pairs, the single largest 

little penguin population on the 

mainland. 

The Helps believe this success 

is because of a collaborative effort 

with the other farmers and the 

Banks Peninsula Conservation 

Trust. 

Shireen said one of the highlights 

of all their work was when 

a rehab penguin they had nursed 

back to health went away to sea 

and then came back to successfully 

go on and breed. 

“We were told rehab birds 

hardly ever survive,” said Shireen. 

“It was great to have confirmation 

what you’re doing makes a 

difference.” 

The couple run Pōhatu Penguins 

on their property, a tourism 

business offering penguin and 

nature tours, kayaking and 

accommodation. This provides 

them with the revenue to continue 

their conservation and 

education work. 

University students often 

frequent the bay, focusing their 

projects on penguin conservation. 

Said Francis: “We appear to 

have run a farm in a sensitive 

ecological area with streams, 

native bush, and wildlife all doing 

quite well.” 

His new concern is making 

sure research is conducted on 

how sea surface temperature 

change impacts the penguins and 

their wider ecosystem. 

Francis said they will 

keep continuing with their 

conservation work for as long as 

they can.

refugee work noted 

Alongside this major project, 

Couch-Lewis has worked with 

the Department of Conservation 

to recover the orange-fronted 

parakeet, the kākāriki, as well 

as the hoiho, the yellow-eyed 

penguin. 

She has been a Ngāi Tahu 

representative on the Te 

Waihora Co-Governance Group 

since 2007. She has championed 

employment opportunities for 

hapū in conservation and for 

a joint management approach 

between DOC and Ngāti Wheke 

for Ripapa and Otamahua/Quail 

Island. 

In 2020, Couch-Lewis was 

appointed as one of the newly 

created “Tumu Taiao” roles 

aimed at supporting better 

city council decision-making 

outcomes for mana whenua and 

for ECan. 

Former MP Ruth Dyson was 

awarded the Queen’s Service 

Order. 

Dyson held several ministerial 

roles with previous Labour 

governments and was MP for 

Lyttelton, Banks Peninsula and 

the Port Hills, and has also 

worked in the disability sector 

for more than 30 years. 

She was the first Minister for 

Disability Issues in 1999. She 

advocated for reform of the 

disability support system, led 

work to promote inclusivity for 

disabled people in employment 

and education, and provided 

leadership through various 

changes to ACC legislation. 

Dyson also took part in 

driving the legislation that 

recognised sign language as an 

official 

language. 

Suzanne 

Blakely, 

from 

Redcliffs, 

was 

awarded 

the 

Queen’s 

Service 

Ruth Dyson 

Medal for 

her dedication 

to helping refugees create a 

new home in New Zealand. 

She has spent 30 years 

supporting refugee women as 

an English as a second language 

teacher. Blakely started this 

ESOL role in 1990, teaching 

English to Cambodian women 

and children when she worked 

at Mairehau Primary School. 

In 1992, the programme 

extended to teaching families 

from Somalia. 

She created a specialised ESOL 

programme for refugee women 

and has continued to teach 

marginalised refugee parents, 

especially women. 

Her methods of teaching 

have been incorporated into 

mainstream ESOL teaching 

programs for refugees 

nationwide. 

Blakely’s teaching has been 

a combination of paid and 

voluntary work, and she has 

always supplemented class 

resources from her own pocket 

She has spent thousands 

of hours not only making 

resources suitable for learners 

who are illiterate in their own 

language, but also enabling 

them to travel to attend class 

and source childcare. 

Her work is about more 

than teaching English. Blakely 

supports women in attending 

health and school appointments, 

and with supermarket 

shopping. 

She has taught many how to 

drive, has helped refugees in 

their search for employment, 

and was a pillar of support in 

the aftermath of the February 

22, 2011 earthquake, and the 

March 2019 terror attack.

Students seeking 

shorter travel time 


PARENTS OF Cashmere High 

School students from Cass 

Bay are hoping to find a more 

convenient way for their children 

to get to and from school. 

Currently children must catch 

the route 28 bus 

at 7am and travel 

for over an hour, 

including another bus 

change, to be able to 

get to school on time. 

After school, it is 

another hour’s journey 

home. 

There are about a 

dozen students living 

in Cass Bay who attend 

Cashmere, with 

this set to double next 

year. 

The Cass Bay 

Residents’ Association has 

sent a letter to Environment 

Canterbury, requesting an open 

dialogue around adjusting the 

timetable to leave at 7.30am. 

Parent Frank Costello said: 

“Either the Ministry of Education 

and or ECan need to work 

out and provide a service that 

works.” 

“If ECan could sort more 

Frank Costello 

appropriately timed buses to 

enable them to connect with 

the Orbiter, they (my children) 

would be sorted.” 

Although students would still 

have to take two buses to get 

to school, the association said 

the students would 

have more time at 

home and would get 

to school at a more 

appropriate time for 

starting the day. 

Originally, a school 

bus was funded by 

the Ministry of Education, 

however this 

was cancelled when 

it was discovered that 

the students were not 

entitled to the bus 

because they lived 

outside of the transport 

eligibility zone. 

A spokesperson from ECan 

said route 28 has been identified 

as needing service improvements 

and community engagement will 

be included in this. 

“Consideration could be given 

to adding other options,” the 

spokesperson said. 

The service review is expected 

to commence in the second half 

of this year.

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.

Why stopping moisture is important for a healthy home 

Having a warm, dry and well-ventilated home is essential, not just 

for comfort, but also to help you avoid serious health issues. The 

average NZ family home produces up to 8 litres of moisture each day. 

Condensation and mould are visual identifiers that there is a problem. 

How you can stop moisture to make your home healthier 

There are several ways to tackle dampness and prevent moisture in the home. 

• Moisture barrier - A waterproof sheet installed over the ground 

underneath your house. This prevents the damp from rising inside 

your home, reducing condensation and mould. 

• Dehumidifiers - Remove moisture from the air inside your home to 

prevent mildew. 

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 

Good quality insulation helps keep the heat in during winter 

and out during summer. The priority for insulating your home 

should be ceiling and underfloor, followed by walls. Using 

insulation wrap on your hot water cylinder and pipes can also 

reduce heat loss and save you around $80 a year. Insulated 

houses are easier and cheaper to heat, saving resources and 

making your home more comfortable and healthier to live in.

NEWS 7 

From earthquake ruins to popular bar 

The Brewery at The 

Tannery is celebrating 

10 years this month. 

Founder Alasdair 

Cassels recalls how it 

all came about 

THE YEAR was 2011 and the 

city had just been shaken to 

its core. People were panicked, 

businesses were scrambling and 

lights were out in restaurants, 

bars and clubs right across town. 

But in times of chaos inspiration 

can strike, and that’s exactly 

what happened for Alasdair 

Cassels. 

“Two days after the earthquake 

the family was up in Wellington 

for a wedding, still covered in 

dust and licking our wounds. 

Three of us lost our houses and 

my daughter Pippi was almost 

killed by a falling chimney. All 

the same we wanted to get back 

on our feet. The question was, 

how?” 

With plans already underway 

to create a brew bar at the then 

undeveloped Tannery, it seemed 

like the right place to start. But 

only one building in the precinct 

was relatively undamaged by the 

earthquake – a 1970s building 

next to Garlands Rd. 

“It was just a rundown old 

INSTITUTION: Joe Shanks (left), Alasdair Cassels and Zak Cassels at The Brewery at The Tannery, 

building we had planned to 

knock down,” said Cassels. 

“I proposed we go back to 

Christchurch and turn it into 

a bar. I was definitely the most 

enthusiastic ringleader!” 

It didn’t take long to get 

everyone behind the idea. On the 

family’s return to Christchurch 

they all got stuck in, with the 

help of a few friends. 

“It was quite a strange time 

because nobody was really doing 

anything. That worked perfectly 

for us. Sometimes we had 50 

people down here helping out. 

Even Gerry Brownlee and Jim 

Anderton got on the same page 

to short-circuit a whole lot of 

building consents for us.” 

The Brewery as we know it 

today opened in the middle of 

winter, on June 21, 2011. The 

turnaround was fast - just 100 

days from the earthquake until 

the family was pouring pints 

from behind the bar. 

Said Cassels: “We were the 

only bar between Beckenham 

and Taylors Mistake, there were 

no bars in Brighton or Lyttelton 

and you couldn’t get into town. 

The east side of town was in 

pieces. 

“Because there were no bars, 

there was no music. So we 

decided to become a venue too. 

It’s actually a bit inconvenient 

having live music in a restaurant, 

but we ended up having gigs just 

about every night of the week. 

“We wanted to create something 

for everyone. We’d have 

tradies in for breakfast, followed 

by mum’s groups for coffee. 

There were people having EQC 

meetings, people watching bands 

playing. It was quite an eclectic 

gathering place.” 

Over time, The Brewery has 

expanded its food menu and 

become less of a watering hole. 

But the fundamentals remain the 

same, and that’s just the way the 

family wants it. 

“We’re known as a place where 

you can enjoy good beer, good 

food, friendly staff and it’s not 

too expensive. That’s our trademark. 

It’s a family business and 

I think families feel comfortable 

here. 

“At the end of the day, I 

don’t think of The Brewery as 

my achievement. It was the 

earthquake that did it and the 

people that came together to 

help. The earthquake was an 

awful, horrible thing, but some 

good did come from it. That’s 

worth raising a glass to,” 

said Cassels.

Learning 

to care for 

waterways 



MT PLEASANT School pupils 

went to Drayton Reserve recently 

to better understand waterways 

and how to care for them. 

The classes are studying the 

water cycle, with a special focus 

on waterways, understanding how 

they function, how humans impact 

them, and how we can better 

care for them. 

Drayton Reserve Volunteers coordinator 

Dave Bryce, who spoke 

to the group of 45 pupils, said: 

“It was inspiring to experience 

their level of interest, engagement, 

and enthusiasm for improving 

the health of the stream and the 

reserve.” 

As a result of the reserve visit, 

the classes are hoping to make a 

brochure to deliver to households 

in the reserve water catchment, 

explaining how they too can make 

changes to improve water quality 

and protect biodiversity in the area. 

Drayton Reserve is currently 

being replanted in natives by volunteers. 

A fire in the reserve during 

January’s hot summer wiped out 

much of the native vegetation. 

Visit https://www.draytonreservevolunteers.org.nz/ 

for more 

information on planting days. 


SUMNER ARTIST Allie 

Rees has hosted her first solo 

exhibition since returning from 

art studies in Sydney three 

months ago. 

Her self-described “playful, 

honest, expressive and bold” art 

is adorning the walls of The Rock 

throughout June. 

Rees is pursuing her passion 

for art in Sumner after she had 

sculpture, at the National Art 

School due to Covid-19. 

Said Rees: “I have been in love 

with colour ever since I put paint 

down during my first year of 

school.” 

She said being able to study 

art opened her mind as a 

creative artist, helping her to 

believe in herself and push her 

limits. 

The inspiration for her art work, 

often painted on large canvases, is 

260 x 180 

to leave her studies, majoring in 

her personal journey, how her life 

is continuously evolving, and also 

her religious beliefs. 

“I have definitely grown to 

have a liking to working bigger. 

Hide your walls from me, that’s 

for sure,” Rees said. 

Being able to share her work at 

The Rock makes Rees happy. 

“I love it and it brings me alive 

into a oneness with how life is to 

me and the freedom I have in it 

through my faith in Jesus. 

BOLD: Allie Rees 

draws from life 

experiences and 

religious beliefs in her 

solo exhibition at The 

Rock in Sumner. 

Creative homecoming for artist 

“It is a really warm beautiful 

feeling, and I am so thankful for 

the opportunity to be able to also 

see it in the space every Sunday 

service at church.” 

Outside of the exhibition, Rees 

is finding spontaneous freedom 

and creativity painting on 

wall spaces, and is working on 

commissions for several cafes in 

Auckland.

Line-up revealed for Selwyn Sounds 

AUSTRALASIAN heavyweights 

Jimmy Barnes and Jon Stevens 

will headline a star-studded act 

at next year’s Selwyn Sounds. 

The line-up was announced 

yesterday for the annual iconic 

event at Lincoln Domain on 

Saturday, March 5. 

Event promoter David Parlane 

said the travel bubble with 

Australia was great news for 

Selwyn Sounds. 

“Jon is particularly pleased 

as he was booked for our 2021 

event, but could not make it due 

to all the travel restrictions,” he 

said. 

Choirboys will also be coming 

from across the Tasman. 

Said Parlane: “They are still 

doing what they have always 

done best, play great Australian 

pub rock. From where they first 

started in 1978 to where they are 

now, so much has happened. 

“They’ve had hit records, full 

houses, and travelled all over the 

world . . . living the rock ‘n’ roll 

dream.” 

•The other acts lining up 

at Selwyn Sounds are: 

•Rietta Austin: From 

Rotorua, Austin has spent the 

last 20-plus years performing 

in the United Kingdom and 

Europe. Known as the Aotearoa 

Angel, she may not be known by 

many in New Zealand, but when 

you are asked to be the opening 

performer at the London O2 

Arena, you are up there with 

the best. She has featured on an 

international compilation album, 

alongside legendary artists 

Luther Vandross, Marvin Gaye, 

Gladys Knight, Maxwell, Dionne 

Warwick and Earth Wind 

And Fire. Other recordings 

include Bonnie Tyler, INXS and 

Sam Smith. In the UK, Austin 

appeared as a support artist 

for Bryan Adams and Jocelyn 

Brown and on tour in Russia for 

Johnny Gill and Joe Cocker. 

She has recently signed a UK 

record deal with Strictly Come 

Dancing and Dancing With The 

STARS: Jimmy Barnes (left) and Jon Stevens will play at 

Selwyn Sounds on March 5. 

Stars Australia and NZ judge 

Craig Revel Horwood for a duets 

album to be released this year. 

•Stella: They are Sony Music 

NZ’s highest selling Kiwi band, 

collecting eight New Zealand 

Music Awards along the way. All 

three albums charted within the 

top 10 of the NZ album chart, 

securing their status as a classic 

mainstay in the New Zealand 

music scene. They have performed 

at Selwyn Sounds before. 

•Greg Johnson: “I’m 

excited to be home in New 

Zealand again, and to make my 

first appearance at the muchheralded 

Selwyn Sounds festival. 

The people of Canterbury have 

been very kind to me over the 

years and I can’t wait to play

Free computing 

course delivers 

unexpected benefits 

A simple desire to become more digital 

savvy has opened a world of possibilities for 

business owner Thomas King. 

A co-director of a logistics business for 20 

years, Thomas has seen huge changes in the 

way business is conducted. 

“The world is rapidly changing and to keep 

pace with it, having some confidence and 

competence in computing is crucial,” he says. 

“I realised that I’d have to embrace this new 

tech-driven world sooner or later, and now 

here I am today, loving what I once feared.” 

Thomas took his first steps in computing at 

Ara Connect which offers free, non-assessed 

computing courses for anyone wanting to gain 

skills and confidence using digital technology. 

Thomas says the tutors at Ara Connect 

welcomed him warmly, made learning 

an enjoyable experience and were 

very supportive. “I felt so inspired 

during my journey. The tutors want 

you to succeed and they encourage 

you to push your boundaries without 

ever throwing you in the deep end.” 

Discovering something new and 

amazing every time he got on a 

computer was one of the things 

Thomas enjoyed most about his time 

at Ara. “There are some amazing 

apps and software out there. 

I’ve especially fallen in love with 

collaboration tools which can help 

Explore this option 

today at ara.ac.nz 

me complete a host of project management 

tasks.” 

Thomas is now considering further study 

and possibly a complete career change. “I’m 

keeping my options open but a future in IT 

is becoming more likely for me with every 

passing day.” 

His advice for anyone else considering the 

computing courses at Ara Connect is to just 

go for it. “Knowing how to use computers can 

make life so much easier. I certainly wish I’d 

taken courses like these two decades ago. My 

advice is to pluck up the courage and just go 

for it.”

REGENERATION: Enthusiastic volunteers take part in an autumn planting 

day in Avoca Valley. 

PHOTO: MARIE GRAY 

‘Eco-corridor’ underway 

for Avoca Valley area 


THE SUMMIT Road Society wants to 

plant 87,000 native trees and plants across 

33 hectares of Avoca Valley, and it needs 

the public’s help. 

The project will progress as funding 

allows. It has currently raised $1020 out of 

its goal of $6000. 

The project aims to restore 

the valley to its original state 

before humans inhabited the 

area; a dry lowland podocarp 

forest. This type of forest is 

now classed as a nationally rare 

ecosystem. 

Summit Road Society 

secretary Marie Gray said the 

project has huge community 

benefits. 

“It will bring birds back to 

the valley and will connect 

Christchurch city and the harbour 

through an ecological corridor,” she said. 

Gray said in time this will mean native 

birds will frequent residential areas. 

A newly added feature will be walking 

tracks throughout the reserve for the community 

to explore and enjoy the valley. 

The planting project has been a long 

time coming. Twenty-five years ago, the 

Marie Gray 

FOUR PROJECTS ON the Banks 

Peninsula and Port Hills have benefited 

from the Christchurch Biodiversity Fund. 

The city council set up the Christchurch 

Biodiversity Fund in 2017 to support and 

encourage initiatives that protect and 

enhance indigenous biodiversity on private 

land. 

Chair of the council’s three waters infrastructure 

and environment committee, 

Councillor Pauline Cotter said: “The fund 

is a practical way we can support landowners 

who are investing their own time and 

money to look after biodiversity on their 

properties.” 

The owners of Oashore Station, in the 

southern bays of Banks Peninsula, are 

receiving a grant to help pay for fencing to 

keep stock out of two areas of native forest. 

It will result in a 15-hectare extension of 

an existing QE11 covenant, which is part 

of a multi-stage project to restore native 

areas on the station. 

local community, including residents, 

landowners, iwi, the city council, and 

environmental experts, began working 

together on a plan to restore the Avoca 

Valley stream, which runs dry for most of 

the year. 

Since then, a small wetland area in 

Duncan Park has been developed, with 

planting alongside the stream. 

A main part of the plan included 

planting trees in the upper 

valley catchment. 

Older residents remember 

playing in the stream when they 

were younger. The valley has 

great cultural significance too; 

it was used as a route for Ngāti 

Wheke between Rāpaki and 

Ihutai, the estuary, and was an 

important source of mahinga kai 

(food gathering). 

The winter planting days have already 

begun with two more planned for this 

Sunday and on June 26. If you would like 

to head along to the planting days, visit the 

Summit Road Society for more 

information. 

To donate to this project, you can visit: 

https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/avoca-valleyplanting-project 

Biodiversity enhanced by fund 

Wairewa Four in Little River has also 

been granted funds to prevent stock from 

entering 21 hectares of regenerating hardwood 

and podocarp forest. 

Several species are present in the forest 

that are classified as nationally threatened 

and rare, including species endemic to 

Banks Peninsula. 

Luke Thelning Reserve in Okains Bay has 

received a grant for weed control work in 

the ecologically significant reserve, which 

includes centuries-old lowland totara. 

A grant for weed control has also been 

given to the Summit Road Society for its 

work in the Linda Woods Reserve in the 

Port Hills. This will mean several plant 

species that threaten the ecological integrity 

of the volcanic bluff ecosystems will be 

eliminated. 

So far the fund has allocated $775,871 

to 37 projects, which has resulted in more 

than 384 hectares of ecologically significant 

vegetation and fauna being protected.

Mental Fitness 

by Paul Wood 

The bestselling author of How to Escape from Prison, 

prisoner-turned-psychologist Paul Wood on developing 

the mental strength and fitness to take on all of life’s 

challenges 

Getting and staying mentally fit, just like getting and 

maintaining a high level of physical fitness, involves hard 

work, effort, and consistency. Our level of mental fitness 

determines how effectively we can flourish through adversity, 

realise our potential, and be happier with our lives - regardless of 

what the universe has in store. 

We all know about mental stress (or we think we do). We’ve definitely all experienced 

it, and none of us like it. Yet this is not a threat to be avoided. Mental stress is perfectly 

analogous to physical stress: it is the mind’s way of telling us that what we are 

attempting to perform is challenging our resource. This is a catalyst for growth, and a 

sign we are pursuing our potential. When we experience stress, we have a choice: we 

can heed that signal and give up - after all, we’re meant to stay in our psychic comfort 

zone all the time, right? Or we can recognise the discomfort we are feeling is simply 

nature’s way of enabling us to rise to the occasion. 

Still Life 

by Sarah Winman 

From the bestselling author of When God was a Rabbit and Tin Man, Still Life is a bighearted 

story of people brought together by love, war, art, flood and the ghost of E.M. Forster. 

We just need to know what the heart’s capable of, Evelyn. 

And do you know what it’s capable of? 

I do. Grace and fury. 

1944, in the ruined wine cellar of a Tuscan villa, as the Allied troops advance and bombs 

fall around them, two strangers meet and share an extraordinary evening together. 

Ulysses Temper is a young British soldier, Evelyn Skinner is a sexagenarian art historian 

and possible spy. She has come to Italy to salvage paintings from the wreckage and relive 

memories of the time she encountered EM Forster and had her heart stolen by an Italian 

maid in a particular Florentine room with a view. 

These two unlikely people find kindred spirits in each other and Evelyn’s talk of truth and 

beauty plants a seed in Ulysses’ mind that will shape the trajectory of his life – and of those 

who love him – for the next four decades. 

Moving from the Tuscan Hills and piazzas of Florence, to the smog of London’s East End, 

Still Life is a sweeping, joyful, richly-peopled novel about beauty, love, family and fate.

Canterbury, we need to talk 

about our changing climate 

Climate change is already affecting our 

local ecosystems and communities. It is 

not an easy or small topic. That’s why our 

local and regional councils have pooled 

resources, knowledge and expertise to help 

people understand, prepare for and adapt 

to the climate change impacts Canterbury 

is likely to experience. 

The new It’s time, Canterbury website 

is home to reputable information and 

resources on the topic. People can explore 

these pages to learn about what is expected, 

as well as ideas on how we can each help 

lessen and adapt to the impacts of climate 

change. 

What is climate change? 

Over many years, scientists and tohunga 

have learnt a lot about Earth’s climate 

system. Through observation, we know 

Earth’s temperature is currently warming 

much faster than experienced before. As 

Earth’s temperature continues to rise it 

causes changes in rainfall, weather patterns, 

and the frequency of extreme events, as 

well as ice melt and sea level rise. This 

results in a range of effects we experience in 

our natural environment and the areas we 

live in. 

Climate change in Canterbury 

Under a ‘business as usual’ scenario, 

where greenhouse gas emissions continue 

to increase, average temperatures in 

Canterbury are projected to increase by 

up to 3.5°C by the end of the century. The 

likelihood of drought conditions is also 

projected to increase, and fire risk will 

increase as soils and plants become drier. 

Alongside drought, over the next two 

decades, we can expect wetter winters in 

many eastern, western and southern parts 

of Canterbury, with up to 40% more rain. 

What’s being done? 

The more learnt about the challenges 

associated with climate change in 

Canterbury, the more they’re shaping 

decision-making. Councils are thinking 

differently about biodiversity, water 

availability, flood protection, coastal 

erosion, energy, land, urban design, 

infrastructure and industry so you, your 

whānau, your community or your business 

can be supported to better understand 

and proactively respond - Mō tātou, ā, mō 

kā uri, ā muri ake nei – for us, and our 

children after us. 

At a national level, the Climate Change 

Response (Zero Carbon) Amendment 

Act 2019 has a target for New Zealand to 

reduce net greenhouse gas emissions to 

zero by 2050, except biogenic methane, 

which has its own separate reduction target. 

Can I really make a difference? 

Absolutely! The easiest thing you can 

do is be informed and become part of the 

conversation. Make sure you have verifiable 

facts to base your discussions and actions 

on and talk with others about what you 

know. On the It’s time, Canterbury website, 

you can show and share your support 

simply by putting your name to the cause, 

as well as learn about projected changes in 

your district. 

For those who want to act, there are ideas 

showing how simple changes can support 

New Zealand’s commitment to reducing 

greenhouse gas emissions. Examples 

include reducing electricity use, walking, 

biking, or catching the bus instead driving, 

and shopping locally. 

Everyone has a role to play and it starts 

at itstimecanterbury.co.nz. 

We’re here to help you understand, manage and prepare for more changes Canterbury is likely to face in the future. 

Because as well as taking action to reduce the impacts of climate change, we need to ready ourselves to adapt to them.

Full steam ahead for Kia’s Stonic 

MOST NEW car distributors 

these days will tell you supply 

is awkward due to the ongoing 

effects of Covid-19 and shipping 

delays. 

Production of semi-conductors 

and other electronic componentry 

is well below demand and 

that has meant headaches for 

the automobile industry. Due 

to shortages of these products, 

manufacturers simply can’t build 

enough cars, and sales are also 

on the rise which compounds the 

situation. 

One company that is weathering 

the storm relatively well is 

Kia, and Kia in New Zealand is 

maintaining good market position. 

A lot of that has to do with 

the introduction of the Stonic, a 

small sport utility vehicle that has 

often topped sales in that part of 

the market. I guess that is helped 

a little by the withdrawal of the 

Sportage due to supply issues, a 

wait for the Sportage will mean 

that when the new generation 

model lands here later in the year, 

forward orders will buy you into 

that variant. 

That aside, the Stonic joins a 

multitude of small SUVs that 

have landed recently including 

Ford’s Puma, Toyota’s Yaris Cross 

and a revamped Suzuki Ignis, to 

name just some. 

The Stonic lands here in five 

variants with two engine options. 

The range starts at $22,990 for the 

base model LX with a 1.4-litre, 

four-cylinder engine, an extra $5k 

will buy you into a mid-range EX 

while the Limited specification 

model, as tested, lands at $29,990. 

In contrast, there’s the option of 

a three-cylinder turbocharged 

1-litre GT Line unit that lists 

at $31,990, and a GT Line+ at 

$33,990. 

If these driveline options look 

familiar, yes, they are pretty much 

as what is specified for the Rio 

range. The Stonic is based on the 

Rio platform, yet it has higher 

ground clearance and it is taller. 

That’s why it slots into the SUV 

category, it also has a chubby, 

muscular, wagon-type body style. 

Bear in mind though, the Stonic 

is just front-wheel-drive, it’s not 

a vehicle designed for cross-country 

travel but it does serve its 

design concept well, it is an urban 

commuter and exudes capable 

highway travel. It will also satisfy 

in an everyday role, access is easy, 

and for someone with old bones 

like mine, that is important, along 

with a comfortable ride. 

Coming from the modern 

Korean factories, the Stonic 

is chock-full of specification 

although there is one minor 

omission in the Limited model 

that would have me looking at the 

mid-spec LX for purchase. The 

Limited has leather seat coverings 

but there are no seat heaters. 

While I appreciate the cost has 

EASY ACCESS: The Stonic’s elevated ride height makes it 

an attractive purchase for those not so agile. 

KIA STONIC LIMITED: Small sport utility vehicle based on Rio platform. 

been kept down for desirability, 

those seats aren’t inviting when 

a cold Canterbury frost hits. The 

LX has cloth trim. 

Elsewhere, though, there is all 

the kit to satisfy, satellite navigation, 

radar cruise control and a 

raft of safety kit that comes under 

the guise of advanced driver 

assistance systems. There are no 

surprises there, but to say the 

Stonic gets a heap of kit to keep 

you out of trouble and to protect 

you if the worst case scenario 

evolves. 

Under the bonnet, the 1.4-litre 

engine and smooth-shifting sixspeed 

automatic transmission are 

all traditional, and that is a good 

thing, I like a little bit of simplicity 

in vehicles and the driveline 

in the Stonic is set-up well for its 

role. 

Kia claims power outputs of 

74kW (6000rpm) and 133Nm 

(4000rpm), even though they are 

generated tall in the rev band the 

engine doesn’t work hard. The 

Stonic weighs in at just under 

1.2-tonne, so there isn’t a lot of 

demand on the engine. Power is 

willing across the rev band and 

it is generated smoothly without 

much fuss. For the record, the 

Stonic in this form will accelerate 

to 100km/h in 11sec and make 

120km/h from 80km/h in 7sec. 

On the subject of figures, 

the four-cylinder Stonic also 

fares well in the fuel usage area. 

• Price – Kia Stonic Limited, 

$29,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4140mm; width, 1760mm; 

height, 1520mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

front-wheeldrive, 

1368cc, 74kW, 

133Nm, six-speed 

automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 11sec 

• Fuel usage – 6.7l/100km 

Kia also claims a 6.7-litre per 

100km/h combined cycle average. 

On my long highway run through 

Mid-Canterbury the instantaneous 

readout was constantly listing 

at around 4.4l/100km (engine 

speed 2400rpm at 100km/h), 

and when I took the evaluation 

car back to the dealership a 

7.2l/100km average was showing 

on the readout. 

On the open road the Stonic 

travels quietly with little wind 

noise and thorough sound-proofing 

underneath.There is a solid 

feel of communication through 

the steering, the high grade 

205/55 x 17in Continental tyres 

send all the right messages to the 

driver and provide direct steering 

accuracy. 

Steering input is quick and 

reactive, while the entire body 

structure feels balanced and controlled 

through the suspension. 

Incidentally, the latter is a 

front-strut/rear-torsion beam 

design. Even though the rear 

wheels are tied together through 

the beam there is just the right 

amount of movement on each 

side to deal with uneven surfaces. 

The spring and damper rates 

are biased towards firm, which 

helps contain gravitational 

movement, but they are not so 

hard that occupant comfort is 

jeopardised, especially in the rear 

where the seats are supportive 

and cocooning. 

Even though the Stonic is 

compact, there is satisfactory leg 

and head room all through the 

model. There are three seat belts 

in the rear and for three adults 

there wouldn’t be too much of a 

squeeze. 

As much as I enjoyed the 

evaluation, I’d like to have a drive 

in the three-potter, I recall that 

engine from the Rio and I can 

report it is absolutely delightful. 

I’m always happy to report 

when a friend buys a new car. 

When the Stonic was destined for 

our market an acquaintance put 

her name down early for one. She 

has since received that car and is 

delighted with the purchase. 

With that type of feedback it’s 

no surprise why Stonic sales are 

elevated, it’s my hope that supply 

is maintained so that others like 

my friend can enjoy an affordable 

and desirable SUV experience.

Seascapes and Sunrises 

239 Richmond Hill Road, Sumner 

4 bedrooms, 2 living, 1 study, 2 bathrooms including en-suite, 2 car garaging 

Occupying a prime vantage point on the upper slopes of Richmond Hill 

this architecturally designed 4 bedroom residence provides an enviable 

coastal lifestyle where spectacular sunrises and expansive ocean/hill side 

vistas provide an everchanging backdrop to everyday life. Within moments 

of entering this home you are rewarded with a light infused reception area 

followed by a truly breath-taking view which extends in front of you across 

the full width of the spacious kitchen and living area. 

The thoughtfully designed floor plan incorporates the main living spaces, 

master bedroom/en-suite and 2nd bedroom upstairs with a further lounge, 

2 bedrooms, bathroom and gym/office downstairs. Excellent in/outdoor 

flow is achieved via stack sliders to the garden from the downstairs lounge 

and bedrooms or a choice of sheltered outdoor entertainment areas from 

upstairs. Buyers needing to accommodate multiple generations may look 

to introduce kitchen facilities on the lower level to make it completely 

self-contained. 

The property also features: 

• Double garage with easy drive on access 

• Gentle sloping section with rarely available generous flat lawn area 

for the kids 

The owners instructions are - must be sold. 

Auction: Saturday 3 July at 1pm, on site (unless sold prior)

Seaside Privacy + Style 

19b Beachville Road, Redcliffs 

3 bedrooms, 1 living, 1 study, 2 bathrooms, 2 car garaging 

Occupying an extremely private site off the ever-desirable Redcliffs 

waterfront, this architecturally designed townhouse by Wilkie + Bruce 

epitomises low-maintenance living to offer an exceptional lifestyle in a 

privileged location. 

Superbly presented and considerately upgraded over the years this home 

hosts a contemporary kitchen and stunning master bathroom, along with 

refreshed carpet and paintwork, which creates an attractive setting for 

daily routines. 

The sun-lit layout covers 170m² approx across two levels and has been 

logically arranged for modern family living. Offering a total of three 

bedrooms and two bathrooms, there’s one of each conveniently placed 

on the ground floor while the remainder, along with a study, are located 

upstairs. The master suite is a relaxing upper-level retreat and enjoys hill 

views as well as glimpses of the estuary. 

The primary living zone is well-proportioned and free-flowing, opening 

outdoors to two hardwood decks and the landscaped grounds which bask 

in northwest sunshine. Better yet, you cannot be built out, with the local 

tennis club residing next door. 

A picture of practicality, the floor plan also includes excellent insulation, 

a heat pump, a separate toilet, dedicated laundry and an internal access 

double garage. 

Auction: Saturday 19 June at 1pm, on site (unless sold prior)
