Group concerned with 

Akaroa wastewater grows 

• By Samantha Mythen 

A GROUP representing 

community concerns on Akaroa’s 

new wastewater system has 

increased in size to give those most 

greatly affected the opportunity to 

share their voice. 

The Akaroa Wastewater 

Community Reference Group 

Terms of Reference were 

discussed at a Banks Peninsula 

Community Board meeting on 

Monday. The group will assist 

the project team on the design 

of the new Akaroa Reclaimed 

Water and Reuse Scheme with the 

community impact in mind. 

It was originally proposed that 

the group would only include 

two to three members of the 

community but this has been 

increased to five, alongside 

the existing two community 

board members, two rūnanga 

representatives, an independent 

chairperson and a city council 

project representative. 

Friends of Banks Peninsula 

secretary Sue Church said the 

group led a deputation at the 

meeting on Monday as they were 

concerned about the reference 

group’s proposed size and the 

terms of reference scope.

A COMMUNITY initiative is 

replanting native trees to protect 

their homes from future fires on 

the Port Hills. 

A large vegetation fire in 

January decimated Drayton 

Reserve, a gully between Mt 

Pleasant and Redcliffs. The fire 

threatened houses and about 

500 sq m of 

trees and 

shrubs were 

destroyed. 

Six 

firefighting 

crews and two 

helicopters 

were 

involved in 

extinguishing the blaze, which 

was contained after about three 

hours. 

Now, after just five weeks 

of planting, members of the 

Drayton Reserve Volunteers 

group have almost reached 

halfway in their project to create 

a green fire break in the reserve. 

“This is a major local biodiversity 

project, but also, with the 

climate changing, very dry summers 

will be more common, and 

the risk of fires will be higher,” 

group co-ordinator Dave Bryce 

said. 

The project involves planting 

800 low flammable native 

species for the first 10m below 

residential properties to create 

the fire break. 

“Creating a fire break along 

the reserve’s boundary has been 

a priority to establish and give 

protection to neighbouring 

properties,” said Bryce. 

He said the residents of the 

houses closest to the reserve are 

helping out themselves. 

“This is a community biodiversity 

area. 

“We want to get the

There are about 200 current 

members of Drayton Reserve 

volunteers. 

The group started in April 

2016. Their aim is to work with 

the city council to return the reserve 

to its original forest cover 

for conservation, recreation and 

educational purposes. 

Bryce said the original forest

farming and grazing. 

They now hope to restore the 

nine different ecosystems that 

exist there, including an aquatic 

ecosystem in the stream that 

runs through the reserve. 

Some of their other work 

includes improving streambed 

and water quality, pest control, 

improving walking tacks, and 

managing litter. 

The group is hoping to have 

completed the fire break by 

August.

In Brief 

BOAT HOUSE BUILDING 

The Bays Boat House Group, set up 

to save the 1923 Canterbury Yachting 

and Motor Boat clubhouse in 

Lyttelton, has been working with 

engineers to develop a concept 

plan to move the building to a 

new home in Governors Bay. The 

project costs will be proposed this 

week. 

RESERVE NAME 

Progress to rename Reserve 

4673 to Hilda Frame Reserve, 

as requested by Governors Bay 

School pupils in April, will stall 

until the city council has adopted 

a new policy on renaming reserves 

and roads. The city council is 

roughly proposing to consult on 

the new policy in October. 

VEGETATION CLEARING 

In spite of recent weather 

setbacks, work to clear vegetation 

along footpaths in Diamond 

Harbour has been prioritised by 

the city council. So far, staff have 

done about 90 per cent of the 

vegetation clearing and around 

half of the silt/debris clearing. 

ANOTHER MARKET LIKELY 

The Lyttelton Craft and Treasure 

Market has applied to the city 

council to operate a market in 

Albion Square every Saturday, to 

complement the Lyttelton Farmers 

Market, London St. A licence could 

be approved in August.

A paw-fect friendship: ‘The Wheelchair 


ARNI IS a cheeky French 

bulldog who lives in Redcliffs. 

Michael Franklin calls himself 

‘the Wheelchair Guy.’ 

He also visits Redcliffs to 

exercise along the smooth 

Coastal Pathway. 

In 2019 Arni sprung into 

Franklin’s life, leading to a 

special friendship that inspired 

Franklin to write a children’s 

book, Arni and the Wheelchair 

Guy. 

The story captures the two 

friends’ adventures and is Franklin’s 

way of teaching children 

about people with disabilities. 

Intensive radiation to rid 

Franklin of a brain tumour in 

2001 meant in August, 2019 he 

had to use a wheelchair. 

He wanted to find a good place 

to practice and found the Coastal 

Pathway by Redcliffs School 

best suited his needs. 

“When you’re practising and 

getting used to using your wheelchair, 

you need something that 

is really smooth, otherwise if 

you are going on the rough stuff, 

you can’t handle it, you tire your 

arms out,” said Franklin. 

“It’s lovely down there. I can 

do up to 3km on the pathway by 

going there and back. It’s good to 

build up my strength.” 

Wheeling along one day, he 

MATES: Michael Franklin and his friend Arni, the inspiration for his children’s book.

saw Arni and his owners, Duncan 

Currie and Natalia Orlova, 

coming up behind him. 

A van of disabled children 

pulled up to the path and as 

the children got out, someone 

produced a big bag of bread and 

started throwing bread to the 

seagulls. 

“The seagulls came, and so did 

Arni,” said Franklin. 

“Arni roared over and started 

gobbling up the crusts and 

Duncan was yelling at him, 

‘Arni, come back!’ But then Arni 

started chasing the seagulls and 

it was chaos.” 

They managed to haul Arni 

back by calling out his formal 

name, Arnold. Arni knows he is 

in trouble when his family bring 

out the full name. 

This was Franklin’s first 

introduction to the black French 

bulldog. 

From there, Franklin and Arni’s 

friendship only grew, as did their 

adventures. 

Franklin goes down to the 

Coastal Pathway at least twice 

a week when the sun is shining 

and meets up with Arni, Currie, 

Orlova and their son. 

Just prior to the nationwide 

lockdown last year, Franklin approached 

Currie and said: “How 

would you feel if I wrote a book 

about Arni’s adventures?” 

Franklin, an avid reader, could 

already see the story in his head 

and at night, he would lie awake 

thinking about it. 

In the morning, he would write 

down his thoughts, and then run 

it past Arni’s and his own family 

at The Spur Cafe in Redcliffs. 

“They’d say: ‘Oh, that’s no good, 

chuck that’ or ‘that’s good, work 

on that’,” said Franklin. 

A little more than a year later, 

the book was published. 

Franklin said it was a team 

effort. 

Orlova’s best friend, Albina 

Koldasova, a Sumner artist, 

illustrated the book.

Guy’ and the naughty French bulldog 

“Albina’s artwork makes the 

book. If she hadn’t done such 

great artwork, it wouldn’t be half 

the book it is. All kudos to her,” 

said Franklin. 

Koldasova said when she heard 

the “lovely story” she had to say 

yes. 

She had never done illustrations 

before, her usual practice 

being oil on canvas. 

“I loved the process, it was 

different,” she said. 

Franklin’s wife, Sarah Dawson, 

also contributed to the book, 

editing and helping with the 

technical side of putting a book 

together and self-publishing it. 

“She’s been wonderful, I 

couldn’t have made it without 

her,” he said. 

Franklin’s friend Wendy 

Wethey, who helped with the 

initial editing, read the book to 

her four-year-old grandson, the 

“tester of the book.” He loved it. 

Currie said the book is fantastic. 

“I’m really pleased Michael 

could pull together such an 

uplifting and positive story about 

Covid-19 and friendships,” he 

said. 

“It shows new connections 

can be made even during a lockdown.” 

Some of Arni’s adventures include 

meeting with the construction 

workers during the rebuild 

of Redcliffs School, making a new 

friend with a man on a hand-bike 

who also visits the pathway, and 

living through a lockdown. 

As Arni dreamed of making 

Zoom calls with his dog friends, 

Franklin spent lockdown 

wheeling backwards and 

forwards across the deck at his 

home. He wheeled 50km. 

Franklin’s favourite Arni 

adventure was when the French 

bulldog stole a fish caught by a 

fisherman along the pathway and 

gobbled it down, in spite of his 

owner’s desperate calls to him to 

drop the fish. 

“He is such a naughty dog 

and this is one of the naughtiest 

things he has ever done,” said 

Franklin. 

Arni’s friendship with 

Franklin brought Franklin out of 

himself, providing him with joy 

and something to look forward 

to as he adjusted to life in a 

wheelchair. 

His brain tumour could not 

be removed surgically, so to 

stop it from spreading he had 

to undergo large quantities of 

radiation. 

Franklin has recovered from 

cancer, yet the doctors warned he 

would have trouble in the future 

from the effects of the radiation. 

The doctors were right and in 

2016, Franklin began to limp. 

It became extremely hard to 

walk; Franklin was tripping and 

falling, his legs becoming covered 

in scars. 

A wheelchair became the only 

option. 

“It was not so much a shock but 

took quite a lot of adjusting. Not 

so much physically but mentally,” 

he said. 

“I’m just lucky to be here 

really.” 

Franklin had been a keen 

mountaineer, runner and cyclist, 

and giving up his legs for wheels 

was a “frustrating change” and “a 

steep learning curve.” 

In 1973, Franklin and his 

friends climbed Aoraki / Mt 

Cook. He also spent many 

years completing first ascents 

and technical ice climbing in 

the Arrowsmith Range. In 

1975, Franklin went on an 

expedition with the Canterbury 

Mountaineering Club to 

Patagonia in Chile and Argentina 

to celebrate the club’s 50th 

jubilee. 

“I’ve always loved climbing,” 

he said. “When you’re young and 

bold, you just seem to ignore the 

risks.” 

Franklin has had a colourful 

life, working in soil conservation 

as a science and biology teacher, 

as a stay-at-home dad to his two 

children, and as an instructor 

with Cycle Safe. 

As Franklin’s need for a 

wheelchair was caused by a 

medical event rather than as 

an accident, it is not covered by 

ACC. 

He only received wheelchair 


training in December last year, 

in spite of three years of selfteaching. 

Arni himself, unfortunately, 

had an accident three weeks ago 

and was temporarily paralysed. 

He had to undergo surgery and is 

recovering well now. 

“They can really understand 

each other that much better, they 

have an even stronger bond now,” 

said Currie. 

Seeing Arni barrelling down 

the pathway towards him in 2019 

changed Franklin’s life. 

He hopes when children read 

his book, they will understand 

people in wheelchairs are just 

normal people living out their 

lives. 

“It’s difficult when you are in 

a wheelchair because you say 

hello to people and sometimes 

they just look right through you. 

Sometimes they act as if you are 

invisible,” said Franklin. 

“I want children to understand 

that people in wheelchairs are 

just a perfectly normal part of life 

and that we are normal people 

too.”

POWER VINYASA YOGA 

Many people find Apollo’s Power Vinyasa practice to be effective in 

relieving and preventing back pain and tension-related types of pain 

yoga pose 

of the month 

Pigeon 

Pose 

Pigeon pose is a deep but restful stretch for the muscles of your thighs, hips and 

back. Pigeon pose is highly restorative for anyone required to sit a lot or people 

who walk, run or bicycle a lot. There are many variations of this pose. Here, we 

offer two simple options. 

• Begin in downward facing dog. Step your right 

foot forward towards your left hand and lower 

your right knee to the floor close to your right 

hand. 

• Lower your left knee to the floor. Extend your left 

leg straight back behind you. 

• Align your right thigh straight forward parallel to 

the right edge of your mat. Align your lower right 

leg at an angle that avoids any strain in your right 

knee. The most mobile practitioners may be able 

to have their lower right leg parallel with the front 

edge of their yoga mat. Others may need to have 

their right foot much further back closer to their 

left hip. 

• Do not roll your weight into your right hip and 

buttock. Instead, rotate your left hip forward 

and downwards. You may use a yoga block or a 

cushion under your right hip and thigh for support. 

• For a more energised experience in pigeon, flex 

your right foot towards your right shin. 

• You may lift your torso up away from the floor 

and support yourself with your hands alongside 

or just forward of your hips. This will create a 

stronger stretch for the front of your left thigh 

and hip. 

• You may lower your torso forward over your right 

lower leg and support yourself on your forearms 

or even stretch your arms out in front of you. 

• Breathe calmly and slowly through your nose for 

3 to 5 minutes. Then repeat the pose with your 

left leg forward. 

In pigeon pose relax away the physical tension in 

your legs, hips and back. At the same time, relax 

your nervous system and restore a calm, present 

state to your whole being.

Redcliffs School mural 

helps guide pupils 

• From page 1 


TE RAEKURA Redcliffs 

School is embracing its cultural 

narrative with a new school 

mural and an upcoming hangi to 

celebrate Matariki. 

On Monday, a mural 

created by the pupils was placed 

in the school cafeteria. The 

mural, completed in week one of 

term two, recreates the school’s 

story. 

The mural reflects the school’s 

early environment and also acts 

as a guide for the pupils to get 

to know the names of spaces in 

their school. 

For example, Tamahika 1 an 

2 pays homage to the nearby 

mudflats, and Te Ana 9 and 10 

reflects the nearby cave Te Ana o 

Hineraki/Moa Bone Point Cave. 

During the process to create 

the mural, the pupils learned 

about the space names, which 

were gifted by Te Hapū o Ngāti 

Wheke and Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri. 

They then sketched out the 

place names and created the 

mural design, which they painted 

onto a large canvas. 

On June 24, at 5pm, the 

school will be having a hangi to 

celebrate Matariki.

is under way, despite the group 

still not being set up.” 

“The community reference 

group must give the community 

a fair say,” said Church. 

In December last year, the 

city council approved plans to 

upgrade the system based 

on recommendations 

from a hearings panel. 

The Akaroa Treated 

Wastewater Options 

Hearings Panel considered 

343 written and 65 

oral submissions in October. 

A recommendation 

included establishing the 

community reference group. The 

wastewater treatment plant serving 

Akaroa and the surrounding 

bays was built in the early 1960s 

at Takapūneke, a historical and 

culturally sensitive area, with 

the treated wastewater being 

discharged to Akaroa Harbour. 

The proposed plan involves 

planting 40 hectares of native 

trees in Robinsons Bay and 

Takamatua and using the treated 

wastewater stored in two new 

storage ponds to irrigate them. 

Calls for interest for community 

members to join the 

reference group will open at the 

end of the month.

Working bee 

to replace 

poisoned 

cabbage trees 

A WORKING bee will be held 

on Sunday to replace the cabbage 

trees along the Coastal Pathway 

on Main Rd that were deliberately 

poisoned in 2018. 

Several hundred other natives 

will also be planted in Beachville 

Rd during the working bee at 

10am. 

Cabbage tree fan Oliver Lewis 

said he was “stoked” at the level 

of community support after a 

Givealittle page he set up to buy 

replacement trees exceeded the 

fundraising goal of $633.60 in just 

four hours. The page raised $778 

in total. Mayor Lianne Dalziel and 

Heathcote Ward city councillor 

Sara Templeton contributed to the 

page. Lewis said he was “delighted” 

they’d thrown their weight 

behind the campaign. 

“It was a petty and disgraceful 

thing to kill trees in the public 

domain,” he said. 

Said Templeton: “I personally 

think that they’re beautiful 

trees and I’m really hopeful 

the community buy-in and 

involvement in funding and 

planting them will stop anyone 

trying something like that again.” 

The 24 replacement trees means 

the original planting design along 

the causeway will be restored. 


Author in running for award 

• By Ella Somers 

A CHILDHOOD dream to be 

like “both Beatrix Potter and 

Dr Seuss” has turned into a 

career for children’s author and 

illustrator Helen Taylor. 

The Lyttelton resident has 

been named as a finalist in The 

Wright Family Foundation Te 

Kura Pounamu Award for her 

children’s book Pīpī Kiwi. She is 

now in the running for a $7500 

prize. 

Taylor said it was “really 

lovely” to be a finalist and it was 

validation for her work “as it’s 

really needed in this industry.” 

The Wright Family 

Foundation Te Kura Pounamu 

Award is for children’s literature 

available in te reo Māori. 

It is one of six main award 

categories at this year’s New 

Zealand Book Awards for 

Children and Young Adults. 

Pīpī Kiwi was translated into te 

reo Māori by Hēni Jacob and 

published in April last year. 

It tells the story of a young 

kiwi who is impatiently waiting 

for the birth of his new kiwi 

sibling and asking his father 

constant questions about what it 

will be able to do when it’s born. 

The book was inspired by 

Taylor’s own experience of 

“dealing with one kid with a 

baby on the way.” 

While she was pregnant 

with her daughter, she had to 

respond to her three-year-old 

son’s questions and expectations 

about the new baby. 

Taylor has been a children’s 

book illustrator for 30 years and 

started writing and illustrating 

her own books for children in 

2009. 

STORIES: Helen Taylor, 

with her children’s 

book, Pīpī Kiwi, is a 

finalist in the Wright 

Family Foundation 

Te Kura Pounamu Award. 

Pīpī Kiwi is her fourth book. 

Taylor said she wore “two 

different hats” when creating the 

book, but she loves every aspect 

of writing and illustrating stories 

for children. 

Her advice to aspiring writers 

– “just do it and believe in 

yourself.” 

“Get the work done and give 

it to friends, family, get it seen. 

Because things shouldn’t hide in 

cupboards.” 

The 2021 New Zealand Book 

Awards for Children and Young 

Adults has 166 entries with 28 

authors making the shortlist. 

The winners will be 

announced on the August 11. 

One winner from each of the six 

main categories will receive a 

$7500 prize. 

The six winners will then go in 

the running to have their book 

named the Margaret Mahy Book 

of the Year and a further $7500 

in prize money.

Passion for pottery as much about 

Pottery is seeing 

a resurgence in 

popularity, with sell-out 

classes at the Sumner 

Hub. Samantha 

Mythen reports on the 

hobby and the hub, 

and why it’s become 

an epicentre of the 

community 

POLLY Hutchinson’s current 

pottery project is a mosaic-like, 

colourful square platter. 

Working with her hands, the 

Sumner resident creates long 

rope shapes out of clay, draping, 

folding and layering them on 

top of one another to capture 

texture, movement and rhythm 

on the plate’s surface. 

Hutchinson is a part of a 

growing resurgence of pottery 

in Christchurch. Demand for 

classes and workshops has grown 

exponentially in recent years. 

Hutchinson, an “absolute 

beginner” at pottery, took her 

first class at the Sumner Hub in 

February. 

“I never felt like I succeeded in 

art during school but I wanted to 

do something creative,” she said. 

“Painting and drawing were 

never going to be a hit, but I 

thought I would have a go at 

pottery. I saw this opportunity 

and liked the idea of the small 

class and the local community 

base.” 

In spite of having “hands full 

of thumbs,” eight pottery classes 

later Hutchinson ended up with 

a collection of coffee mugs, 

plates, platters, pinch pots and a 

planter, all of her own creation. 

At the end of the introductory 

class, Hutchinson decided she 

loved making pottery so much 

she would sign up for the next 

course. 

She especially loves the social 

aspect of the group. 

“I’ve met people whose 

paths I wouldn’t have crossed 

otherwise.” 

With their heads down and 

their hands busy, the intimate 

class of eight share funny 

anecdotes from their week as 

well as advice on household 

dilemmas. 

Pottery also helps Hutchinson 

express her creativity and 

gratitude, form connections and 

learn new things – a holistic pot 

of gold for her well-being. 

“I like to do things with my 

hands, like gardening,” she said. 

“This is a natural segue from 

working with my hands in the 

soil to working in clay to create 

something usable.” 

Teacher and talented 

ceramicist Nikki Wallace-Bell 

guides people of all ages in the 

classes at the hub. 

The first thing Wallace- 

Bell teaches beginners is how to 

create a pinch-pot. This is made 

by pushing your thumb into a 

ball of clay, making the round 

ball hollow. The end result is a 

quaint dipping bowl, good for 

holding hummus in a platter. 

“It is great as Nikki gets you 

making things right away,” said 

Hutchinson. 

Wallace-Bell teaches her 

students techniques and then 

encourages them to experiment 

and explore what their creative 

juices can fuel. 

Hutchinson said everyone 

always ends up with something 

quite different, even if the base 

POTTY FOR POTTERY: Polly Hutchinson (left) has taken 

up pottery classes in Sumner, taught by Nikki Wallace-Bell

workshop to celebrate Sea Week. 

idea is the same. After Wallace- 

Bell’s intermediate school art 

teacher inspired her to pursue 

art, she studied 3D design at 

university and then became an 

art teacher herself. 

Three years ago, she left 

her full-time job teaching 

art at Christchurch South 

Intermediate, hoping to pursue 

community work. 

She did not know what 

this would look like until she 

joined the Sumner Community 

Residents’ Association and 

thought several rooms in 

the Sumner Hub were being 

underutilized. They were still full 

of furniture leftover from when 

the hub was a police station. 

In March last year, 

Wallace-Bell proposed 

turning one room into a 

pottery studio and holding 

community classes. 

She paid community 

members in handmade ceramic 

pots to help build benches, then 

paint and decorate the room. 

It now has hanging plants and 

student-made art adorning the 

walls. 

As the classes got busier, 

Wallace-Bell took over the 

second room in the hub, 12 

months after decorating the 

first. There are now four pottery 

wheels in place.

craft as it is about community 

Wallace-Bell teaches four classes 

a week, two for adults and two for 

children, with one-off workshops 

for the community held throughout 

the year. Many are subsidised 

to remove any barriers preventing 

members of the community from 

trying out pottery. 

“Every pottery class I know is 

fully booked with wait lists,” said 

Wallace-Bell. 

“My classes are packed and oneoff 

workshops sell out in just two 

hours.” 

Due to the popularity, social 

pottery nights will start today, running 

every Wednesday evening for 

those who have pottery skills but 

want to keep practising, as well as 

form new connections with fellow 

potters. 

“It’s not just about developing 

clay, it’s about developing personalities 

and relationships in my 

classes,” she said. 

For Wallace-Bell, the essence of 

her role is fostering connections 

and improving people’s well-being, 

rather than seeing the marvellous 

creations her students produce. 

Creating something out of clay 

is a lengthy process. Many things 

can go wrong, but Wallace-Bell 

believes people are craving this 

kind of activity. 

“Pottery is a process, you have 

to follow steps to make something 

out of clay. It’s not just a 

quick push of a button to make 

something happen,” she said. 

“Pottery provides an opportunity 

to get away from our life of 

looking at screens.” 

The hardest things for potters 

is the time and patience needed 

to complete a project. But Wallace-Bell 

said this is also the best 

thing. 

“People really enjoy making 

something with their hands. They 

especially want to make things 

they can use,” she said. 

The most popular objects 

to make are cups, mugs and 

planters. However, everyone’s 

desires are catered for, whether 

their preference is for sculpture or 

homewares. 

Wallace-Bell hopes that in the 

future she can work with Women’s 

Refuge and the Red Cross to offer 

classes, to spread her passion 

further into the community.

‘An incubator for local

DEMAND FOR community 

skill-sharing is at a high, as seen 

by the sell-out workshops and 

classes at Sumner Hub. 

The hub was originally established 

in 2011 in the old police 

station by the Sumner Community 

Residents’ Association, as 

a community response to the 

February 22, 2011, earthquake. 

The hub started out in one 

room and has since taken over 

the entire building, including 

the driveway where the hub 

van sits on standby, waiting to 

transport residents to their next 

community activity. 

Advocacy and providing community 

assistance is also a large 

part of what the hub provides. 

The rest of the hub is packed 

full of workshops and community 

projects. 

These include the Bikery, for 

bike maintenance, the Goat 

Shed, which makes surfboards 

and the Refillery, where people 

bring reusable containers 

to refill pantry items. It also 

includes the plant-powered 

workshop, where people learn to 

make eco-friendly skincare and 

household cleaning products, 

the pottery workshop, and other 

art workshops. 

When activities are on your 

doorstep, it is easy to engage 

and take part. 

Sumner Community Residents’ 

Association co-chairperson 

Liza Sparrow said: “The 

Hub allows people to connect 

in a physical place, and it offers 

a one-stop-shop for everything 

you need to know about the 

community.” 

The space is available for 

everyone to use. 

“It is not exclusive to those already 

in there. Anyone is always 

welcome to come in and chat 

about their idea,” said Sparrow. 

Sumner Hub co-ordinator 

Charlie Hudson said: “Having a 

space like the Hub provides the 

opportunity for people to share 

their skills without the normal 

set-up cost of setting up a longterm 

lease.” 

The hub not only provides a 

skill-sharing place with all the 

necessary facilities, but it also 

helps with setting up and promoting 

the event. 

“This breaks down many of 

the barriers that daunt individuals 

to share their skills,” said 

Hudson. 

Nikki Wallace-Bell, who holds 

the pottery workshops, believes 

the hub is so important for the 

community. 

“It is an incubator for local 

projects to happen,” she said.

sharing your skills at the hub, or

How Stella Learned to Talk 

by Christina Hunge 

An incredible, revolutionary true story and surprisingly simple guide to teaching your dog to talk from 

speech-language pathologist Christina Hunger, who taught her dog, Stella, to communicate using simple 

paw-sized buttons associated with different words. When speech-language pathologist Christina Hunger first 

came home with her puppy, Stella, it didn’t take long for her to start drawing connections between her job 

and her new pet. During the day, she worked with toddlers with significant delays in language development 

and used Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices to help them communicate. At night, 

she wondered: If dogs can understand words we say to them, shouldn’t they be able to say words to us? 

Can dogs use AAC to communicate with humans? Christina decided to put this to the test with Stella and 

started using a paw-sized button, programmed with her voice to say the word ‘outside’ when clicked, 

whenever she took Stella out of the house. 

Stella now has a bank of more than thirty word buttons, and uses them either individually or together 

to create near-complete sentences. How Stella Learned to Talk is part memoir and part how-to guide. It 

chronicles the journey Christina and Stella have taken together from the day they met to the day Stella 

‘spoke’ her first word, and the other breakthroughs they’ve had since. It also reveals the techniques Christina 

used to teach Stella, broken down into simple stages and actionable steps any dog owner can use to 

start communicating with their pets. 

My Amy 

by Tyler James 

Written with a searing honesty and published for the tenth anniversary of Amy Winehouse’s death, My 

Amy is an evocative portrait of unbreakable lifelong friendship – and a devastating study into fame, 

addiction and self-sabotage. 

Only one person knows what really happened to Amy, other than Amy herself. He is Tyler James, Amy’s 

best friend from the age of thirteen. They met at stage school as two insecure outsiders, formed an 

instant connection and lived together from their late teenage years right up until the day she died, aged 

just twenty-seven. 

Tyler was there by her side through it all. From their carefree early years touring together to the creation 

of the multiple Grammy-winning Back To Black, which she wrote on their kitchen floor. From her volatile 

marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil through her escalating addictions, self-harm and eating disorders as the 

toxic nature of fame warped Amy’s reality. For the last three years of her life, Tyler was with her every day 

when she’d beaten drugs and was close to beating alcoholism too. He also knew better than anyone the 

real Amy Winehouse who the tabloid-reading public rarely saw – the hilarious, uncompromising forceof-nature 

busy taking care of everyone else. 

We all think we know what happened to Amy Winehouse, but we don’t. This definitive insider’s story 

tells us all, finally, the truth. 

The Forager’s Treasury 

by Johanna Knox 

A New Zealand guide to the art of foraging - a comprehensive guide to finding sustainable, 

free and fascinating plants. 

In the urban and rural wildernesses, there is an abundance of food just waiting to be 

discovered, if only you know what to look for. Foraged food is healthy, economical and 

sustainable, but the best part is the fun you will have finding it. 

This book is guaranteed to make you look at the plants around you in a different light.

Bob Dylan - No Direction Home 

by robert Shelton, foreword & afterword by elizabeth Thomson 

Robert Shelton met Bob Dylan when the young singer arrived in New York in 1961. He became 

Dylan’s friend, champion, and critic. His book, first published in 1986, was hailed as the definitive 

unauthorized biography of this moody, passionate genius. Shelton tells the intimate and first-hand story 

of Bob Dylan’s formative years in Greenwich Village NYC, and it is the only biography that has been 

written with his active cooperation. 

Dylan gave Shelton access to his parents, Abe and Beatty Zimmerman – whom no other journalist has ever 

interviewed; to his brother, David; to childhood friends from Hibbing; to fellow students and friends from 

Minneapolis; and to Suze Rotolo, the muse immortalized on the cover of Freewheelin’ , among others. 

Concluding Dylan’s story backstage during his triumphant 1978 world tour, No Direction Home took 

20 years to complete and when it was finally published the book received widespread critical acclaim. 

Following his Nobel Prize for Literature Award in 2016, Dylan’s standing is higher than at any time 

since the 1960s and Shelton’s book is now seen as a classic. This new illustrated edition, published 

in the year of Dylan’s 80th birthday, includes key images of Dylan throughout his incredible, enduring 

career, making it a must for all Dylan fans. 

You Are a Champion: How to Be the Best You Can Be 

by Marcus rashford, with Carl Anka 

Marcus Rashford is famous worldwide for his skills both on-and-off the pitch – but before he was 

a Manchester United and England footballer, and long before he started his inspiring campaign to 

end child food poverty, he was just an average kid from Wythenshawe, South Manchester. Now, 

Marcus Rashford MBE wants to show YOU how to achieve your dreams, in this positive and inspiring 

guide-for-life. 

No matter who you are and no matter where you come from, every single person in the world has 

the potential to be a champion. In You Are a Champion, the world’s favourite footballer gives you the 

tools you need to reach your full potential, showing you how to be the very BEST version of yourself 

you can be. Written with journalist Carl Anka, this empowering guide is packed full of stories from 

Marcus’s own life, brilliant advice and top-tips from performance psychologist Katie Warriner. Perfect 

for readers who need to hear that they already are champions – they just might not know it yet. 

This book shows kids how to: Be comfortable with who you are – you can’t be a champion until 

you’re happy being you! Dream big Practise like a champion – good things take hard work and 

time. Get out of your comfort zone and learn from your mistakes. Navigate adversity in a positive 

way. Find your team. Use your voice and stand.

PLANTING: The memorial grove will be planted at the Christchurch Gondola 

site in memory of Prince Philip. 

Memorial to remember 

Duke of Edinburgh 

• By Matt Slaughter 

A MEMORIAL GROVE of 100 native 

trees will be planted to commemorate 

what would have been Prince Philip’s 

100th year. 

The Duke of Edinburgh’s Hillary 

Award is partnering with Canterbury’s 

Te Tapuwae o Rakau Trust (The Tree Footprint 

Trust), Ngati Wheke, Rapaki and 

Christchurch Attractions/Christchurch 

Gondola to plant the trees in Heathcote 

Valley in September. 

The memorial grove at the Christchurch 

Gondola site will be a nature-based memorial 

for Prince Philip. 

Hillary Award participants will help 

with the upkeep as part of their voluntary 

service. 

The grove will be a part of the trust’s 

initiative to carry out cultural and ecological 

reforestation of the Port Hills and 

support the return of native birds, insects 

and reptiles. 

Said Christchurch Attractions chief 

executive Sue Sullivan: “The Christchurch 

Gondola is thrilled to be an integral part 

of this commemoration project. 

“The planting of 100 native trees at the 

base of the Gondola will bring life to the 

site and further enhance our relationships 

with our community.” 

National director of the Hillary Award 

Karen Ross said it is honoured to be part 

of this initiative and help create a memorial 

in the Heathcote Valley’s natural 

landscape. 

“As well as the memorial to the duke, 

this initiative more than ever reflects the 

attributes the award equips rangatahi 

with, including engagement with our 

native landscape and in their communities 

and the service provided through the 

award,” said Ross. 

Te Tapuwae o Rakau Trust chairman 

Phillip Duval said its goal is to eventually 

plant 10 million trees on the Port Hills. 

Duval said tree planting appears to have 

grown in popularity across Christchurch 

in the last few years and it is an activity all 

age groups have been taking part in. He 

said it is a great thing to do for the future 

of the environment. 

“Where there’s an opportunity for 

people to plant something that is native 

their own country and that will grow, 

potentially, for decades, if not 100 years, 

that’s a very uplifting, almost a spiritual 

thing for a lot of people, because it gives 

them hope.”

Coriander’s Sumner is your winter 

haven for Indian comfort food 

Coriander’s Sumner is one of the great 

winter warmers in Christchurch’s seaside 

suburbs. 

It’s a cosy establishment serving up 

absolutely top Indian food, with a team 

dedicated to making every experience a 

winner. 

Coriander’s is committed to superior fresh 

ingredients, excellent service, and a fun 

atmosphere. 

The location has been serving delicious 

Indian food to the Sumner community for 

18 years, and in October last year it changed 

hands to become the newest Coriander’s 

restaurant. 

After a renovation, the building is looking 

stunning, with carefully restored doors and 

other interior elements including some of the 

original post boxes from its first life as a post 

office as well as a brand new mural featuring 

a beautiful tiger in the Indian jungle. 

Managing director Gaurav Soni said 

Coriander’s group of restaurants was 

dedicated to the communities it served. 

“It’s been a great year so far, getting to know 

the very welcoming Sumner community and 

getting involved in local events,” he said. 

“Check out the Sumner mid-winter swim 

next month – Coriander’s will be 

donating a prize for one of the 

brave swimmers.” 

The restaurant is organising 

a winter series of live music, 

Gaurav said. 

“We’ve got some exciting 

announcements to make soon, 

with some very cool local artists 

coming to serenade our guests on 

Friday evenings.” 

He said the restaurant had also 

gotten involved with supporting 

local sport. 

“We’re sponsoring a player 

from Ferrymead Bays Football 

Club, and offering some exclusive 

deals to members,” Gaurav said. 

“It’s a great club, and their teams represent 

the area proudly. 

“I really recommend getting down to 

Ferrymead Park when they’ve got a game on 

and getting behind them,” he said. 

Coriander’s Sumner is the fourth premier 

dining establishment in the 14-year-old 

Coriander’s family, alongside Coriander’s St 

Asaph Street, Coriander’s Bush Inn, and the 

original Coriander’s restaurant in Rolleston. 

The restaurant specialises in authentic, 

delicious North Indian dishes including 

favourites like butter chicken and lamb 

vindaloo as well as less-known dishes and 

Coriander’s specials. 

Coriander’s has a special vegan menu, 

featuring a range of plant-based dishes made 

with delicious textured soy pieces, all cooked 

without ghee. 

The Vegan Lovers’ Menu features vegan 

versions of classics such as do pyaza, jalfrezee 

and saag, as well as traditionally plant-based 

dishes such as daal and aloo jerra. 

There’s even a vegan butter ‘chicken’ – a 

new addition to the menu. 

The restaurant is fully licensed and offers 

BYO, with an extensive menu of beer – 

including Lyttelton’s Eruption Brewing – as 

well as wine, cocktails and non-alcoholic 

beverages including the ever-popular mango 

lassi. 

It’s a family friendly restaurant, with a 

kids’ menu featuring child-friendly curries 

and desserts, and regularly runs special 

promotions for families – kids aged 10 and 

under can eat free when accompanied by 

paying adults all June. 

Coriander’s Sumner is open for dine in, 

take away and delivery in the Sumner area 

and offering two free chicken drumsticks 

with any two dine-in meals. 

The restaurant is also running a June 

promotion for free delivery of any order over 

$50 within 4km of Coriander’s Sumner. 

To claim the offer, use the code SUMNER 

when checking out on the Coriander’s app or 

Coriander’s website. 

You can find Coriander’s Sumner in 

Wakefield Avenue, across the road from the 

Sumner Community Centre.

FOOD 


Use garlic and onions to jazz up roast 

Sunday roasts are 

a traditional Kiwi 

favourite. Try adding 

some powerful flavours 

for a change that 

should please the 

whole family 

Roast beef with garlic and 

onions 

Ingredients 

1.5kg rolled roast beef 

2 medium onions 

2 carrots 

2 sticks celery 

1 bulb of garlic 

1 bunch of mixed fresh herbs , 

such as thyme, rosemary, bay, 

sage 

olive oil 

Directions 

Remove the beef from the 

fridge 30min before you want to 

cook it, to let it come up to room 

temperature. 

Preheat the oven to 240 deg C. 

Wash and roughly chop the 

vegetables – there’s no need 

to peel them. Break the garlic 

bulb into cloves, leaving them 

unpeeled. 

Pile all the veges, garlic and 

herbs into the middle of a large 

roasting tray and drizzle with oil. 

Drizzle the beef with oil and 

season well with sea salt and 

black pepper, then rub all over 

the meat. Place the beef on top of 

the vegetables. 

Place the tray in the oven, 

then turn the heat down 

immediately to 200 deg C 

and cook for 1 hour for 

medium beef. If you prefer it 

medium-rare, take it out five to 

10min earlier. For well done, 

leave it in for another 10 

to 15min. 

If you’re doing roast potatoes 

and veges, this is the time to 

crack on with them – get them 

into the oven for the last 45min 

of cooking. 

Baste the beef halfway through 

cooking and if the veges look dry, 

add a splash of water to the tray 

to stop them from burning. 

When the beef is cooked 

to your liking, take the tray out of 

the oven and transfer the beef to 

a board to rest for 15min. Cover 

it with a layer of tin foil and a tea 

towel and leave 

aside while you make your 

gravy, horseradish sauce and 

yorkshire puddings. 

Baked chicken breasts 

Ingredients 

4 tablespoons olive oil 

3 tablespoons honey 

2 tablespoons whole grain 

mustard 

1 tablespoon smooth and mild 

Dijon mustard 

4 cloves garlic, peeled and 

minced 

1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon 

juice 

1/2 teaspoon paprika 

2 pounds (1 kg) boneless skinless 

chicken breasts, (4 large 

chicken breasts) 

Salt and cracked black pepper, 

to season 

2 tablespoons fresh chopped 

parsley, to garnish (optional) 

Lemon wedges, to serve 

(optional) 

Directions 

Onions roast 

up well in 

the oven 

with beef, 

don’t forget 

to garnish 

with herbs 

before 

serving. 

Preheat oven to 200 deg C. 

Lightly grease a baking tray/ 

sheet with oil and line with foil or 

parchment paper. 

Combine the oil, honey, 

mustards, garlic, lemon juice 

and paprika in a small bowl to 

combine well. 

Place the chicken onto the 

prepared baking sheet (tray). 

Season generously with salt and 

pepper. Spoon three-quarters 

of the honey mustard mixture 

evenly over the chicken and 

spread evenly all over each 

breast. Pour a quarter of a cup of 

water onto the baking sheet to 

prevent burning, creating a sauce 

while baking. 

Bake until cooked through 

(about 20-30min, depending 

on the thickness of the breasts). 

Spoon the remaining sauce over 

each breast and broil (or grill) for 

a further three-to-four minutes 

on medium-high heat to brown 

the chicken and caramelise the 

edges. 

Cover with foil and allow to 

rest for 10min to let the juices 

settle before serving. 

Garnish with parsley and serve 

immediately with lemon wedges. 

Notes 

To include roasted asparagus, 

arrange them onto the same 

baking sheet around the chicken 

in the last 10 minutes of cooking 

time. Rotate them in the pan 

juices or pan sauce and season 

with salt and pepper. 

Most elder abuse is 

hidden in plain sight 

Abusers are often someone close – A family member, a caregiver, 

someone trusted. If you’re concerned about how someone is being treated, 

it’s OK to help.

50 Shades of Grey 

50 McCormacks Bay Road, 

Mount Pleasant 

Auction 1 July (Unless Sold Prior) 

4 bedrooms 2 bathrooms 2 living rooms 

2 car garage Listing No. SM0487 


ADVERTISING FEATURE 

Showcasing eye-catching qualities from a 

front-row position in McCormacks Bay, this 

architectural abode affords effortless 

comfort and accommodates modern living 

with considerable ease. 

Skilfully composed by the late architect, 

Bruce Banbury, and constructed by the 

experienced team at Chris Beer Construction 

in 2014, the home's cleverly configured 

design is in-tune with family living and 

responds to the requirements of every 

generation. 

Striking a bold silhouette and spanning two 

levels, the home's primary open-plan 

entertaining space occupies the top floor and 

steps out to the balcony, where you can 

admire the elevated outlook over the park. 

An alternative living space and large decks 

are found on the ground floor, which assures 

flexibility for growing families. 

The two-level layout also comprises four 

double bedrooms that are evenly distributed 

across both levels, with the master enjoying 

a first-floor position and the luxury of a 

walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. 

The décor is desirable and features an array 

of contemporary neutrals as well as freshly 

laid carpet, while the presence of two heat 

pumps will keep you cosy winter-long. 

Easy-care grounds are contained within the 

fully fenced section, and they could easily be 

enhanced with professional landscaping 

should you choose. 

The internal access garage provides secure 

storage, plus a rear roller door for a boat, 

which is a bonus given the convenience of 

the location, with the Saturday Farmers' 

Market only a stroll away while the coastal 

walkway and wealth of amenities in 

Ferrymead are also close to home. 

Making its market debut since its construction, 

this property will be a captivating prospect 

to many, and with the vendors having 

downsized and purchased elsewhere, it's 

recommended that interested buyers act 

quickly.

Plenty of appeal in base model Yaris Cross 

I’D NEVER BE put off by entrylevel 

cars if a range has several 

variants. 

Sure, there’s a lot of exciting 

technology in the high-spec, top 

grade models, but in this modern 

age all new vehicles have bling - 

features and enough gadgetry to 

satisfy. 

Take, for example, Toyota’s 

Yaris Cross, it’s a range that starts 

at $29,990 for a petrol-only GX 

model. For my money that’s good 

buying for a vehicle that looks like 

an SUV, but given its compact size 

is probably best described as a 

crossover model, a large hatchback 

which caters well for the 

small family. 

The Yaris Cross is also available 

in a higher grade – Limited - but 

that is a $38,990 hybrid model, 

although there is also a GX 

hybrid that lists at $33,990. As I’ve 

alluded to, GX grade is perfect for 

someone who doesn’t need overly 

flashy. 

It’s important to note, though, 

the GX grade still includes a raft 

of technology included in the 

Toyota Safety Sense suite of kit. 

I evaluated the Yaris Cross 

hybrid in these columns in March 

and liked its trendy style and 

involving driving dynamics – the 

hybrid system is coupled to a willing 

three-cylinder 1.5-litre engine 

that charms with its response and 

characteristics. 

That same engine powers the 

petrol-only model. It’s fair to 

say that in the Yaris Cross’ case 

I’m torn between hybrid and 

non-hybrid, each variant has its 

own merits, and it’s fair to say the 

hybrid would probably win out in 

my situation. However, the petrol-only 

model will save you a bit 

of cash it you can’t come up with 

the $4k to buy into the hybrid. 

As an aside, the entire Yaris 

range is powered by the new 

driveline, and I’m yet to be disappointed 

with the new configuration 

from Toyota. 

Developing 88kW and 145Nm, 

the outputs are reached a little 

tall in the rev band (6600 and 

4800rpm respectively), but 

three-cylinder units develop a lot 

of natural torque and you end up 

with solid acceleration and easy 

motion at highway speed. 

The Yaris Cross won’t set any 

speed records, but it will reach 

100km/h from a standstill in 

TOYOTA YARIS CROSS GX: Well-equipped for a budget price. 

under 12sec and plough through 

a highway overtake (80-120km/h) 

in 7.5sec. If you are brave enough 

to risk your licence, the petrol-only 

Yaris Cross is also listed with a 

180km/h top speed. 

Drive is channelled to the front 

wheels through a continuously 

variable transmission. There are 

no surprises there, Toyota has 

developed CVT well so it works 

almost like a traditional automatic. 

The benefit is little drain on the 

engine, power that isn’t wasted 

through a torque converter. As 

a consequence, Toyota claims 

some quite startling fuel usage 

figures for the Yaris Cross, that’s 

no surprise, when I evaluated the 

standard Yaris, the wee three-potter 

was an absolute fuel miser. 

The Yaris Cross is listed with 

a 5.4-litre per 100km combined 

cycle average. That fits well with 

the readout on the evaluation 

car – 7l/100km. That figure was 

helped by a long highway drive, 

the engine turning over freely 

at 2100rpm at 100km/h, returning 

an instantaneous figure of 

4l/100km. 

I had an item to pick up in the 

McKenzie Country, so the Yaris 

Cross was presented with the 

fabulous State Highway 72 scenic 

route for the round trip. It cruises 

well with little noise intrusion and 

an amazingly comfortable ride. 

The suspension is all class, even 

given there’s a tube beam rear axle 

tying the two rear wheels together. 

That aside, the spring and damper 

rates are a perfect compromise 

between ride comfort, absorbing 

road ripples and containing body 

balance in a corner. 

• Price – Toyota Yaris Cross 

GX, $29,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4180mm; width, 1765mm; 

height, 1590mm 

• Configuration – Threecylinder, 

front-wheeldrive, 

1490cc, 88kW, 

145Nm, continuously 

variable automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 11.8sec 

• Fuel usage – 5.4l/100km 

It’s not often you get a clean run 

through the twisty, hilly section 

leading in and out of Fairlie, but I 

scored that section free of traffic on 

my return journey and punted the 

Yaris Cross through there with a 

bit of motion. I can report it steers 

beautifully through its Bridgestone 

tyres (205/65 x 16in), directional 

change is accurate and the entire 

car is composed under pressure. 

The GX Yaris Cross is aimed at 

the budget buyer but those people 

will still feel as if they have scored 

a bargain. Major features include 

full electrics, radar cruise control 

and multi-function steering wheel. 

It’s been a heady year or so 

for Toyota New Zealand, new 

models have landed constantly 

and the choice for the Toyota 

buyer has never been better. The 

Yaris Cross is just one model 

in a comprehensive range. I 

particularly like the concept and I 

particularly like the entry-level 

model.
