Group concerned with<br />
Akaroa wastewater grows<br />
• By Samantha Mythen<br />
A GROUP representing<br />
community concerns on Akaroa’s<br />
new wastewater system has<br />
increased in size to give those most<br />
greatly affected the opportunity to<br />
share their voice.<br />
The Akaroa Wastewater<br />
Community Reference Group<br />
Terms of Reference were<br />
discussed at a Banks Peninsula<br />
Community Board meeting on<br />
Monday. The group will assist<br />
the project team on the design<br />
of the new Akaroa Reclaimed<br />
Water and Reuse Scheme with the<br />
community impact in mind.<br />
It was originally proposed that<br />
the group would only include<br />
two to three members of the<br />
community but this has been<br />
increased to five, alongside<br />
the existing two community<br />
board members, two rūnanga<br />
representatives, an independent<br />
chairperson and a city council<br />
project representative.<br />
Friends of Banks Peninsula<br />
secretary Sue Church said the<br />
group led a deputation at the<br />
meeting on Monday as they were<br />
concerned about the reference<br />
group’s proposed size and the<br />
terms of reference scope.<br />

• By Samantha Mythen<br />
A COMMUNITY initiative is<br />
replanting native trees to protect<br />
their homes from future fires on<br />
the Port Hills.<br />
A large vegetation fire in<br />
January decimated Drayton<br />
Reserve, a gully between Mt<br />
Pleasant and Redcliffs. The fire<br />
threatened houses and about<br />
500 sq m of<br />
trees and<br />
shrubs were<br />
destroyed.<br />
Six<br />
firefighting<br />
crews and two<br />
helicopters<br />
were<br />
involved in<br />
extinguishing the blaze, which<br />
was contained after about three<br />
hours.<br />
Now, after just five weeks<br />
of planting, members of the<br />
Drayton Reserve Volunteers<br />
group have almost reached<br />
halfway in their project to create<br />
a green fire break in the reserve.<br />
“This is a major local biodiversity<br />
project, but also, with the<br />
climate changing, very dry summers<br />
will be more common, and<br />
the risk of fires will be higher,”<br />
group co-ordinator Dave Bryce<br />
said.<br />
The project involves planting<br />
800 low flammable native<br />
species for the first 10m below<br />
residential properties to create<br />
the fire break.<br />
“Creating a fire break along<br />
the reserve’s boundary has been<br />
a priority to establish and give<br />
protection to neighbouring<br />
properties,” said Bryce.<br />
He said the residents of the<br />
houses closest to the reserve are<br />
helping out themselves.<br />
“This is a community biodiversity<br />
area.<br />

A paw-fect friendship: ‘The Wheelchair<br />
• By Samantha Mythen<br />
ARNI IS a cheeky French<br />
bulldog who lives in Redcliffs.<br />
Michael Franklin calls himself<br />
‘the Wheelchair Guy.’<br />
He also visits Redcliffs to<br />
exercise along the smooth<br />
Coastal Pathway.<br />
In 2019 Arni sprung into<br />
Franklin’s life, leading to a<br />
special friendship that inspired<br />
Franklin to write a children’s<br />
book, Arni and the Wheelchair<br />
Guy.<br />
The story captures the two<br />
friends’ adventures and is Franklin’s<br />
way of teaching children<br />
about people with disabilities.<br />
Intensive radiation to rid<br />
Franklin of a brain tumour in<br />
2001 meant in August, 2019 he<br />
had to use a wheelchair.<br />
He wanted to find a good place<br />
to practice and found the Coastal<br />
Pathway by Redcliffs School<br />
best suited his needs.<br />
“When you’re practising and<br />
getting used to using your wheelchair,<br />
you need something that<br />
is really smooth, otherwise if<br />
you are going on the rough stuff,<br />
you can’t handle it, you tire your<br />
arms out,” said Franklin.<br />
“It’s lovely down there. I can<br />
do up to 3km on the pathway by<br />
going there and back. It’s good to<br />
build up my strength.”<br />
Wheeling along one day, he<br />
MATES: Michael Franklin and his friend Arni, the inspiration for his children’s book.<br />
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
saw Arni and his owners, Duncan<br />
Currie and Natalia Orlova,<br />
coming up behind him.<br />
A van of disabled children<br />
pulled up to the path and as<br />
the children got out, someone<br />
produced a big bag of bread and<br />
started throwing bread to the<br />
seagulls.<br />
“The seagulls came, and so did<br />
Arni,” said Franklin.<br />
“Arni roared over and started<br />
gobbling up the crusts and<br />
Duncan was yelling at him,<br />
‘Arni, come back!’ But then Arni<br />
started chasing the seagulls and<br />
it was chaos.”<br />
They managed to haul Arni<br />
back by calling out his formal<br />
name, Arnold. Arni knows he is<br />
in trouble when his family bring<br />
out the full name.<br />
This was Franklin’s first<br />
introduction to the black French<br />
bulldog.<br />
From there, Franklin and Arni’s<br />
friendship only grew, as did their<br />
adventures.<br />
Franklin goes down to the<br />
Coastal Pathway at least twice<br />
a week when the sun is shining<br />
and meets up with Arni, Currie,<br />
Orlova and their son.<br />
Just prior to the nationwide<br />
lockdown last year, Franklin approached<br />
Currie and said: “How<br />
would you feel if I wrote a book<br />
about Arni’s adventures?”<br />
Franklin, an avid reader, could<br />
already see the story in his head<br />
and at night, he would lie awake<br />
thinking about it.<br />
In the morning, he would write<br />
down his thoughts, and then run<br />
it past Arni’s and his own family<br />
at The Spur Cafe in Redcliffs.<br />
“They’d say: ‘Oh, that’s no good,<br />
chuck that’ or ‘that’s good, work<br />
on that’,” said Franklin.<br />
A little more than a year later,<br />
the book was published.<br />
Franklin said it was a team<br />
effort.<br />
Orlova’s best friend, Albina<br />
Koldasova, a Sumner artist,<br />
illustrated the book.<br />

Guy’ and the naughty French bulldog<br />
“Albina’s artwork makes the<br />
book. If she hadn’t done such<br />
great artwork, it wouldn’t be half<br />
the book it is. All kudos to her,”<br />
said Franklin.<br />
Koldasova said when she heard<br />
the “lovely story” she had to say<br />
yes.<br />
She had never done illustrations<br />
before, her usual practice<br />
being oil on canvas.<br />
“I loved the process, it was<br />
different,” she said.<br />
Franklin’s wife, Sarah Dawson,<br />
also contributed to the book,<br />
editing and helping with the<br />
technical side of putting a book<br />
together and self-publishing it.<br />
“She’s been wonderful, I<br />
couldn’t have made it without<br />
her,” he said.<br />
Franklin’s friend Wendy<br />
Wethey, who helped with the<br />
initial editing, read the book to<br />
her four-year-old grandson, the<br />
“tester of the book.” He loved it.<br />
Currie said the book is fantastic.<br />
“I’m really pleased Michael<br />
could pull together such an<br />
uplifting and positive story about<br />
Covid-19 and friendships,” he<br />
said.<br />
“It shows new connections<br />
can be made even during a lockdown.”<br />
Some of Arni’s adventures include<br />
meeting with the construction<br />
workers during the rebuild<br />
of Redcliffs School, making a new<br />
friend with a man on a hand-bike<br />
who also visits the pathway, and<br />
living through a lockdown.<br />
As Arni dreamed of making<br />
Zoom calls with his dog friends,<br />
Franklin spent lockdown<br />
wheeling backwards and<br />
forwards across the deck at his<br />
home. He wheeled 50km.<br />
Franklin’s favourite Arni<br />
adventure was when the French<br />
bulldog stole a fish caught by a<br />
fisherman along the pathway and<br />
gobbled it down, in spite of his<br />
owner’s desperate calls to him to<br />
drop the fish.<br />
“He is such a naughty dog<br />
and this is one of the naughtiest<br />
things he has ever done,” said<br />
Franklin.<br />
Arni’s friendship with<br />
Franklin brought Franklin out of<br />
himself, providing him with joy<br />
and something to look forward<br />
to as he adjusted to life in a<br />
wheelchair.<br />
His brain tumour could not<br />
be removed surgically, so to<br />
stop it from spreading he had<br />
to undergo large quantities of<br />
radiation.<br />
Franklin has recovered from<br />
cancer, yet the doctors warned he<br />
would have trouble in the future<br />
from the effects of the radiation.<br />
The doctors were right and in<br />
20<strong>16</strong>, Franklin began to limp.<br />
It became extremely hard to<br />
walk; Franklin was tripping and<br />
falling, his legs becoming covered<br />
in scars.<br />
A wheelchair became the only<br />
option.<br />
“It was not so much a shock but<br />
took quite a lot of adjusting. Not<br />
so much physically but mentally,”<br />
he said.<br />
“I’m just lucky to be here<br />
really.”<br />
Franklin had been a keen<br />
mountaineer, runner and cyclist,<br />
and giving up his legs for wheels<br />
was a “frustrating change” and “a<br />
steep learning curve.”<br />
In 1973, Franklin and his<br />
friends climbed Aoraki / Mt<br />
Cook. He also spent many<br />
years completing first ascents<br />
and technical ice climbing in<br />
the Arrowsmith Range. In<br />
1975, Franklin went on an<br />
expedition with the Canterbury<br />
Mountaineering Club to<br />
Patagonia in Chile and Argentina<br />
to celebrate the club’s 50th<br />
jubilee.<br />
“I’ve always loved climbing,”<br />
he said. “When you’re young and<br />
bold, you just seem to ignore the<br />
risks.”<br />
Franklin has had a colourful<br />
life, working in soil conservation<br />
as a science and biology teacher,<br />
as a stay-at-home dad to his two<br />
children, and as an instructor<br />
with Cycle Safe.<br />
As Franklin’s need for a<br />
wheelchair was caused by a<br />
medical event rather than as<br />
an accident, it is not covered by<br />
ACC.<br />
He only received wheelchair<br />
Wednesday <strong>June</strong> <strong>16</strong> <strong>2021</strong> <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News<br />
training in December last year,<br />
in spite of three years of selfteaching.<br />
Arni himself, unfortunately,<br />
had an accident three weeks ago<br />
and was temporarily paralysed.<br />
He had to undergo surgery and is<br />
recovering well now.<br />
“They can really understand<br />
each other that much better, they<br />
have an even stronger bond now,”<br />
said Currie.<br />
Seeing Arni barrelling down<br />
the pathway towards him in 2019<br />
changed Franklin’s life.<br />
He hopes when children read<br />
his book, they will understand<br />
people in wheelchairs are just<br />
normal people living out their<br />
lives.<br />
“It’s difficult when you are in<br />
a wheelchair because you say<br />
hello to people and sometimes<br />
they just look right through you.<br />
Sometimes they act as if you are<br />
invisible,” said Franklin.<br />
“I want children to understand<br />
that people in wheelchairs are<br />
just a perfectly normal part of life<br />
and that we are normal people<br />
too.”<br />

POWER VINYASA YOGA<br />
Many people find Apollo’s Power Vinyasa practice to be effective in<br />
relieving and preventing back pain and tension-related types of pain<br />
yoga pose<br />
of the month<br />
Pigeon<br />
Pose<br />
Pigeon pose is a deep but restful stretch for the muscles of your thighs, hips and<br />
back. Pigeon pose is highly restorative for anyone required to sit a lot or people<br />
who walk, run or bicycle a lot. There are many variations of this pose. Here, we<br />
offer two simple options.<br />
• Begin in downward facing dog. Step your right<br />
foot forward towards your left hand and lower<br />
your right knee to the floor close to your right<br />
hand.<br />
• Lower your left knee to the floor. Extend your left<br />
leg straight back behind you.<br />
• Align your right thigh straight forward parallel to<br />
the right edge of your mat. Align your lower right<br />
leg at an angle that avoids any strain in your right<br />
knee. The most mobile practitioners may be able<br />
to have their lower right leg parallel with the front<br />
edge of their yoga mat. Others may need to have<br />
their right foot much further back closer to their<br />
left hip.<br />
• Do not roll your weight into your right hip and<br />
buttock. Instead, rotate your left hip forward<br />
and downwards. You may use a yoga block or a<br />
cushion under your right hip and thigh for support.<br />
• For a more energised experience in pigeon, flex<br />
your right foot towards your right shin.<br />
• You may lift your torso up away from the floor<br />
and support yourself with your hands alongside<br />
or just forward of your hips. This will create a<br />
stronger stretch for the front of your left thigh<br />
and hip.<br />
• You may lower your torso forward over your right<br />
lower leg and support yourself on your forearms<br />
or even stretch your arms out in front of you.<br />
• Breathe calmly and slowly through your nose for<br />
3 to 5 minutes. Then repeat the pose with your<br />
left leg forward.<br />
In pigeon pose relax away the physical tension in<br />
your legs, hips and back. At the same time, relax<br />
your nervous system and restore a calm, present<br />
state to your whole being.<br />

Redcliffs School mural<br />
helps guide pupils<br />
• From page 1<br />
• By Samantha Mythen<br />
TE RAEKURA Redcliffs<br />
School is embracing its cultural<br />
narrative with a new school<br />
mural and an upcoming hangi to<br />
celebrate Matariki.<br />
On Monday, a mural<br />
created by the pupils was placed<br />
in the school cafeteria. The<br />
mural, completed in week one of<br />
term two, recreates the school’s<br />
story.<br />
The mural reflects the school’s<br />
early environment and also acts<br />
as a guide for the pupils to get<br />
to know the names of spaces in<br />
their school.<br />
For example, Tamahika 1 an<br />
2 pays homage to the nearby<br />
mudflats, and Te Ana 9 and 10<br />
reflects the nearby cave Te Ana o<br />
Hineraki/Moa Bone Point Cave.<br />
During the process to create<br />
the mural, the pupils learned<br />
about the space names, which<br />
were gifted by Te Hapū o Ngāti<br />
Wheke and Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri.<br />
They then sketched out the<br />
place names and created the<br />
mural design, which they painted<br />
onto a large canvas.<br />
On <strong>June</strong> 24, at 5pm, the<br />
school will be having a hangi to<br />
celebrate Matariki.<br />

New members for<br />
wastewater group<br />
They asked for increased fair<br />
representation from the most<br />
affected communities.<br />
“This scheme will have a huge<br />
footprint over the three bays,”<br />
said Church.<br />
Two large storage ponds as<br />
part of the new wastewater system<br />
plan are only 100m<br />
away from residents’<br />
homes.<br />
“We want to see<br />
the risks mitigated<br />
as much as possible<br />
with community input<br />
listened to,” Church said.<br />
“We still wanted to<br />
keep the group small in<br />
size to allow for logistics,” said<br />
community board chairwoman<br />
Tori Peden.<br />
“The aim is for the group to<br />
have members with the necessary<br />
skill set needed to help the<br />
discussion.”<br />
Jamie Stewart and Nigel<br />
Harrison, who both represent<br />
the Akaroa subdivision, were<br />
chosen as the community board<br />
representatives.<br />
“We are in tune with public<br />
sentiment,” said Harrison.<br />
Church hopes the group will<br />
be up and running soon.<br />
“This has all been taking quite<br />
a long time, the city council<br />
Tori Peden<br />
passed the resolution six months<br />
ago and planning for the system<br />
is under way, despite the group<br />
still not being set up.”<br />
“The community reference<br />
group must give the community<br />
a fair say,” said Church.<br />
In December last year, the<br />
city council approved plans to<br />
upgrade the system based<br />
on recommendations<br />
from a hearings panel.<br />
The Akaroa Treated<br />
Wastewater Options<br />
Hearings Panel considered<br />
343 written and 65<br />
oral submissions in October.<br />
A recommendation<br />
included establishing the<br />
community reference group. The<br />
wastewater treatment plant serving<br />
Akaroa and the surrounding<br />
bays was built in the early 1960s<br />
at Takapūneke, a historical and<br />
culturally sensitive area, with<br />
the treated wastewater being<br />
discharged to Akaroa <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
The proposed plan involves<br />
planting 40 hectares of native<br />
trees in Robinsons <strong>Bay</strong> and<br />
Takamatua and using the treated<br />
wastewater stored in two new<br />
storage ponds to irrigate them.<br />
Calls for interest for community<br />
members to join the<br />
reference group will open at the<br />
end of the month.<br />

Working bee<br />
to replace<br />
poisoned<br />
cabbage trees<br />
A WORKING bee will be held<br />
on Sunday to replace the cabbage<br />
trees along the Coastal Pathway<br />
on Main Rd that were deliberately<br />
poisoned in 2018.<br />
Several hundred other natives<br />
will also be planted in Beachville<br />
Rd during the working bee at<br />
10am.<br />
Cabbage tree fan Oliver Lewis<br />
said he was “stoked” at the level<br />
of community support after a<br />
Givealittle page he set up to buy<br />
replacement trees exceeded the<br />
fundraising goal of $633.60 in just<br />
four hours. The page raised $778<br />
in total. Mayor Lianne Dalziel and<br />
Heathcote Ward city councillor<br />
Sara Templeton contributed to the<br />
page. Lewis said he was “delighted”<br />
they’d thrown their weight<br />
behind the campaign.<br />
“It was a petty and disgraceful<br />
thing to kill trees in the public<br />
domain,” he said.<br />
Said Templeton: “I personally<br />
think that they’re beautiful<br />
trees and I’m really hopeful<br />
the community buy-in and<br />
involvement in funding and<br />
planting them will stop anyone<br />
trying something like that again.”<br />
The 24 replacement trees means<br />
the original planting design along<br />
the causeway will be restored.<br />

Author in running for award<br />
• By Ella Somers<br />
A CHILDHOOD dream to be<br />
like “both Beatrix Potter and<br />
Dr Seuss” has turned into a<br />
career for children’s author and<br />
illustrator Helen Taylor.<br />
The Lyttelton resident has<br />
been named as a finalist in The<br />
Wright Family Foundation Te<br />
Kura Pounamu Award for her<br />
children’s book Pīpī Kiwi. She is<br />
now in the running for a $7500<br />
prize.<br />
Taylor said it was “really<br />
lovely” to be a finalist and it was<br />
validation for her work “as it’s<br />
really needed in this industry.”<br />
The Wright Family<br />
Foundation Te Kura Pounamu<br />
Award is for children’s literature<br />
available in te reo Māori.<br />
It is one of six main award<br />
categories at this year’s New<br />
Zealand Book Awards for<br />
Children and Young Adults.<br />
Pīpī Kiwi was translated into te<br />
reo Māori by Hēni Jacob and<br />
published in April last year.<br />
It tells the story of a young<br />
kiwi who is impatiently waiting<br />
for the birth of his new kiwi<br />
sibling and asking his father<br />
constant questions about what it<br />
will be able to do when it’s born.<br />
The book was inspired by<br />
Taylor’s own experience of<br />
“dealing with one kid with a<br />
baby on the way.”<br />
While she was pregnant<br />
with her daughter, she had to<br />
respond to her three-year-old<br />
son’s questions and expectations<br />
about the new baby.<br />
Taylor has been a children’s<br />
book illustrator for 30 years and<br />
started writing and illustrating<br />
her own books for children in<br />
2009.<br />
STORIES: Helen Taylor,<br />
with her children’s<br />
book, Pīpī Kiwi, is a<br />
finalist in the Wright<br />
Family Foundation<br />
Te Kura Pounamu Award.<br />
Pīpī Kiwi is her fourth book.<br />
Taylor said she wore “two<br />
different hats” when creating the<br />
book, but she loves every aspect<br />
of writing and illustrating stories<br />
for children.<br />
Her advice to aspiring writers<br />
– “just do it and believe in<br />
yourself.”<br />
“Get the work done and give<br />
it to friends, family, get it seen.<br />
Because things shouldn’t hide in<br />
cupboards.”<br />
The <strong>2021</strong> New Zealand Book<br />
Awards for Children and Young<br />
Adults has <strong>16</strong>6 entries with 28<br />
authors making the shortlist.<br />
The winners will be<br />
announced on the August 11.<br />
One winner from each of the six<br />
main categories will receive a<br />
$7500 prize.<br />
The six winners will then go in<br />
the running to have their book<br />
named the Margaret Mahy Book<br />
of the Year and a further $7500<br />
in prize money.<br />

Passion for pottery as much about<br />
Pottery is seeing<br />
a resurgence in<br />
popularity, with sell-out<br />
classes at the Sumner<br />
Hub. Samantha<br />
Mythen reports on the<br />
hobby and the hub,<br />
and why it’s become<br />
an epicentre of the<br />
community<br />
POLLY Hutchinson’s current<br />
pottery project is a mosaic-like,<br />
colourful square platter.<br />
Working with her hands, the<br />
Sumner resident creates long<br />
rope shapes out of clay, draping,<br />
folding and layering them on<br />
top of one another to capture<br />
texture, movement and rhythm<br />
on the plate’s surface.<br />
Hutchinson is a part of a<br />
growing resurgence of pottery<br />
in Christchurch. Demand for<br />
classes and workshops has grown<br />
exponentially in recent years.<br />
Hutchinson, an “absolute<br />
beginner” at pottery, took her<br />
first class at the Sumner Hub in<br />
February.<br />
“I never felt like I succeeded in<br />
art during school but I wanted to<br />
do something creative,” she said.<br />
“Painting and drawing were<br />
never going to be a hit, but I<br />
thought I would have a go at<br />
pottery. I saw this opportunity<br />
and liked the idea of the small<br />
class and the local community<br />
base.”<br />
In spite of having “hands full<br />
of thumbs,” eight pottery classes<br />
later Hutchinson ended up with<br />
a collection of coffee mugs,<br />
plates, platters, pinch pots and a<br />
planter, all of her own creation.<br />
At the end of the introductory<br />
class, Hutchinson decided she<br />
loved making pottery so much<br />
she would sign up for the next<br />
course.<br />
She especially loves the social<br />
aspect of the group.<br />
“I’ve met people whose<br />
paths I wouldn’t have crossed<br />
otherwise.”<br />
With their heads down and<br />
their hands busy, the intimate<br />
class of eight share funny<br />
anecdotes from their week as<br />
well as advice on household<br />
dilemmas.<br />
Pottery also helps Hutchinson<br />
express her creativity and<br />
gratitude, form connections and<br />
learn new things – a holistic pot<br />
of gold for her well-being.<br />
“I like to do things with my<br />
hands, like gardening,” she said.<br />
“This is a natural segue from<br />
working with my hands in the<br />
soil to working in clay to create<br />
something usable.”<br />
Teacher and talented<br />
ceramicist Nikki Wallace-Bell<br />
guides people of all ages in the<br />
classes at the hub.<br />
The first thing Wallace-<br />
Bell teaches beginners is how to<br />
create a pinch-pot. This is made<br />
by pushing your thumb into a<br />
ball of clay, making the round<br />
ball hollow. The end result is a<br />
quaint dipping bowl, good for<br />
holding hummus in a platter.<br />
“It is great as Nikki gets you<br />
making things right away,” said<br />
Hutchinson.<br />
Wallace-Bell teaches her<br />
students techniques and then<br />
encourages them to experiment<br />
and explore what their creative<br />
juices can fuel.<br />
Hutchinson said everyone<br />
always ends up with something<br />
quite different, even if the base<br />
POTTY FOR POTTERY: Polly Hutchinson (left) has taken<br />
up pottery classes in Sumner, taught by Nikki Wallace-Bell<br />
(below centre). Raewyn Smith with two of her children<br />
Victoria and Carlos (above) took part in a recent pottery<br />
workshop to celebrate Sea Week.<br />
idea is the same. After Wallace-<br />
Bell’s intermediate school art<br />
teacher inspired her to pursue<br />
art, she studied 3D design at<br />
university and then became an<br />
art teacher herself.<br />
Three years ago, she left<br />
her full-time job teaching<br />
art at Christchurch South<br />
Intermediate, hoping to pursue<br />
community work.<br />
She did not know what<br />
this would look like until she<br />
joined the Sumner Community<br />
Residents’ Association and<br />
thought several rooms in<br />
the Sumner Hub were being<br />
underutilized. They were still full<br />
of furniture leftover from when<br />
the hub was a police station.<br />
In March last year,<br />
Wallace-Bell proposed<br />
turning one room into a<br />
pottery studio and holding<br />
community classes.<br />
She paid community<br />
members in handmade ceramic<br />
pots to help build benches, then<br />
paint and decorate the room.<br />
It now has hanging plants and<br />
student-made art adorning the<br />
walls.<br />
As the classes got busier,<br />
Wallace-Bell took over the<br />
second room in the hub, 12<br />
months after decorating the<br />
first. There are now four pottery<br />
wheels in place.<br />

craft as it is about community<br />
Wallace-Bell teaches four classes<br />
a week, two for adults and two for<br />
children, with one-off workshops<br />
for the community held throughout<br />
the year. Many are subsidised<br />
to remove any barriers preventing<br />
members of the community from<br />
trying out pottery.<br />
“Every pottery class I know is<br />
fully booked with wait lists,” said<br />
Wallace-Bell.<br />
“My classes are packed and oneoff<br />
workshops sell out in just two<br />
hours.”<br />
Due to the popularity, social<br />
pottery nights will start today, running<br />
every Wednesday evening for<br />
those who have pottery skills but<br />
want to keep practising, as well as<br />
form new connections with fellow<br />
potters.<br />
“It’s not just about developing<br />
clay, it’s about developing personalities<br />
and relationships in my<br />
classes,” she said.<br />
For Wallace-Bell, the essence of<br />
her role is fostering connections<br />
and improving people’s well-being,<br />
rather than seeing the marvellous<br />
creations her students produce.<br />
Creating something out of clay<br />
is a lengthy process. Many things<br />
can go wrong, but Wallace-Bell<br />
believes people are craving this<br />
kind of activity.<br />
“Pottery is a process, you have<br />
to follow steps to make something<br />
out of clay. It’s not just a<br />
quick push of a button to make<br />
something happen,” she said.<br />
“Pottery provides an opportunity<br />
to get away from our life of<br />
looking at screens.”<br />
The hardest things for potters<br />
is the time and patience needed<br />
to complete a project. But Wallace-Bell<br />
said this is also the best<br />
thing.<br />
“People really enjoy making<br />
something with their hands. They<br />
especially want to make things<br />
they can use,” she said.<br />
The most popular objects<br />
to make are cups, mugs and<br />
planters. However, everyone’s<br />
desires are catered for, whether<br />
their preference is for sculpture or<br />
homewares.<br />
Wallace-Bell hopes that in the<br />
future she can work with Women’s<br />
Refuge and the Red Cross to offer<br />
classes, to spread her passion<br />
further into the community.<br />

DEMAND FOR community<br />
skill-sharing is at a high, as seen<br />
by the sell-out workshops and<br />
classes at Sumner Hub.<br />
The hub was originally established<br />
in 2011 in the old police<br />
station by the Sumner Community<br />
Residents’ Association, as<br />
a community response to the<br />
February 22, 2011, earthquake.<br />
The hub started out in one<br />
room and has since taken over<br />
the entire building, including<br />
the driveway where the hub<br />
van sits on standby, waiting to<br />
transport residents to their next<br />
community activity.<br />
Advocacy and providing community<br />
assistance is also a large<br />
part of what the hub provides.<br />
The rest of the hub is packed<br />
full of workshops and community<br />
projects.<br />
These include the Bikery, for<br />
bike maintenance, the Goat<br />
Shed, which makes surfboards<br />
and the Refillery, where people<br />
bring reusable containers<br />
to refill pantry items. It also<br />
includes the plant-powered<br />
workshop, where people learn to<br />
make eco-friendly skincare and<br />
household cleaning products,<br />
the pottery workshop, and other<br />
art workshops.<br />
When activities are on your<br />
doorstep, it is easy to engage<br />
and take part.<br />
Sumner Community Residents’<br />
Association co-chairperson<br />
Liza Sparrow said: “The<br />
Hub allows people to connect<br />
in a physical place, and it offers<br />
a one-stop-shop for everything<br />
you need to know about the<br />
community.”<br />
The space is available for<br />
everyone to use.<br />
“It is not exclusive to those already<br />
in there. Anyone is always<br />
welcome to come in and chat<br />
about their idea,” said Sparrow.<br />
Sumner Hub co-ordinator<br />
Charlie Hudson said: “Having a<br />
space like the Hub provides the<br />
opportunity for people to share<br />
their skills without the normal<br />
set-up cost of setting up a longterm<br />
lease.”<br />
The hub not only provides a<br />
skill-sharing place with all the<br />
necessary facilities, but it also<br />
helps with setting up and promoting<br />
the event.<br />
“This breaks down many of<br />
the barriers that daunt individuals<br />
to share their skills,” said<br />
Hudson.<br />
Nikki Wallace-Bell, who holds<br />
the pottery workshops, believes<br />
the hub is so important for the<br />
community.<br />
“It is an incubator for local<br />
projects to happen,” she said.<br />
If you are interested in<br />

NEW RELEASES<br />
How Stella Learned to Talk<br />
by Christina Hunge<br />
An incredible, revolutionary true story and surprisingly simple guide to teaching your dog to talk from<br />
speech-language pathologist Christina Hunger, who taught her dog, Stella, to communicate using simple<br />
paw-sized buttons associated with different words. When speech-language pathologist Christina Hunger first<br />
came home with her puppy, Stella, it didn’t take long for her to start drawing connections between her job<br />
and her new pet. During the day, she worked with toddlers with significant delays in language development<br />
and used Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices to help them communicate. At night,<br />
she wondered: If dogs can understand words we say to them, shouldn’t they be able to say words to us?<br />
Can dogs use AAC to communicate with humans? Christina decided to put this to the test with Stella and<br />
started using a paw-sized button, programmed with her voice to say the word ‘outside’ when clicked,<br />
whenever she took Stella out of the house.<br />
Stella now has a bank of more than thirty word buttons, and uses them either individually or together<br />
to create near-complete sentences. How Stella Learned to Talk is part memoir and part how-to guide. It<br />
chronicles the journey Christina and Stella have taken together from the day they met to the day Stella<br />
‘spoke’ her first word, and the other breakthroughs they’ve had since. It also reveals the techniques Christina<br />
used to teach Stella, broken down into simple stages and actionable steps any dog owner can use to<br />
start communicating with their pets.<br />
My Amy<br />
by Tyler James<br />
Written with a searing honesty and published for the tenth anniversary of Amy Winehouse’s death, My<br />
Amy is an evocative portrait of unbreakable lifelong friendship – and a devastating study into fame,<br />
addiction and self-sabotage.<br />
Only one person knows what really happened to Amy, other than Amy herself. He is Tyler James, Amy’s<br />
best friend from the age of thirteen. They met at stage school as two insecure outsiders, formed an<br />
instant connection and lived together from their late teenage years right up until the day she died, aged<br />
just twenty-seven.<br />
Tyler was there by her side through it all. From their carefree early years touring together to the creation<br />
of the multiple Grammy-winning Back To Black, which she wrote on their kitchen floor. From her volatile<br />
marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil through her escalating addictions, self-harm and eating disorders as the<br />
toxic nature of fame warped Amy’s reality. For the last three years of her life, Tyler was with her every day<br />
when she’d beaten drugs and was close to beating alcoholism too. He also knew better than anyone the<br />
real Amy Winehouse who the tabloid-reading public rarely saw – the hilarious, uncompromising forceof-nature<br />
busy taking care of everyone else.<br />
We all think we know what happened to Amy Winehouse, but we don’t. This definitive insider’s story<br />
tells us all, finally, the truth.<br />
The Forager’s Treasury<br />
by Johanna Knox<br />
A New Zealand guide to the art of foraging - a comprehensive guide to finding sustainable,<br />
free and fascinating plants.<br />
In the urban and rural wildernesses, there is an abundance of food just waiting to be<br />
discovered, if only you know what to look for. Foraged food is healthy, economical and<br />
sustainable, but the best part is the fun you will have finding it.<br />
This book is guaranteed to make you look at the plants around you in a different light.<br />
The Forager’s Treasury features profiles of many edible plants commonly found in New<br />
Zealand; advice on where to find them, how to harvest them and how best to use them;<br />
and over 60 delicious food recipes as well as more than 30 recipes for medicine, natural<br />
dyes, perfumes and skin care.<br />
This fully revised and updated edition of a classic bestseller is an exhaustive treasure<br />
trove of information about our wild plants.<br />
Bob Dylan - No Direction Home<br />
by robert Shelton, foreword & afterword by elizabeth Thomson<br />
Robert Shelton met Bob Dylan when the young singer arrived in New York in 1961. He became<br />
Dylan’s friend, champion, and critic. His book, first published in 1986, was hailed as the definitive<br />
unauthorized biography of this moody, passionate genius. Shelton tells the intimate and first-hand story<br />
of Bob Dylan’s formative years in Greenwich Village NYC, and it is the only biography that has been<br />
written with his active cooperation.<br />
Dylan gave Shelton access to his parents, Abe and Beatty Zimmerman – whom no other journalist has ever<br />
interviewed; to his brother, David; to childhood friends from Hibbing; to fellow students and friends from<br />
Minneapolis; and to Suze Rotolo, the muse immortalized on the cover of Freewheelin’ , among others.<br />
Concluding Dylan’s story backstage during his triumphant 1978 world tour, No Direction Home took<br />
20 years to complete and when it was finally published the book received widespread critical acclaim.<br />
Following his Nobel Prize for Literature Award in 20<strong>16</strong>, Dylan’s standing is higher than at any time<br />
since the 1960s and Shelton’s book is now seen as a classic. This new illustrated edition, published<br />
in the year of Dylan’s 80th birthday, includes key images of Dylan throughout his incredible, enduring<br />
career, making it a must for all Dylan fans.<br />

by Marcus rashford, with Carl Anka<br />
Marcus Rashford is famous worldwide for his skills both on-and-off the pitch – but before he was<br />
a Manchester United and England footballer, and long before he started his inspiring campaign to<br />
end child food poverty, he was just an average kid from Wythenshawe, South Manchester. Now,<br />
Marcus Rashford MBE wants to show YOU how to achieve your dreams, in this positive and inspiring<br />
guide-for-life.<br />
No matter who you are and no matter where you come from, every single person in the world has<br />
the potential to be a champion. In You Are a Champion, the world’s favourite footballer gives you the<br />
tools you need to reach your full potential, showing you how to be the very BEST version of yourself<br />

Marcus’s own life, brilliant advice and top-tips from performance psychologist Katie Warriner. Perfect<br />
for readers who need to hear that they already are champions – they just might not know it yet.<br />
This book shows kids how to: Be comfortable with who you are – you can’t be a champion until<br />
you’re happy being you! Dream big Practise like a champion – good things take hard work and<br />
time. Get out of your comfort zone and learn from your mistakes. Navigate adversity in a positive<br />
way. Find your team. Use your voice and stand.<br />

PLANTING: The memorial grove will be planted at the Christchurch Gondola<br />
site in memory of Prince Philip.<br />
Memorial to remember<br />
Duke of Edinburgh<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
A MEMORIAL GROVE of 100 native<br />
trees will be planted to commemorate<br />
what would have been Prince Philip’s<br />
100th year.<br />
The Duke of Edinburgh’s Hillary<br />
Award is partnering with Canterbury’s<br />
Te Tapuwae o Rakau Trust (The Tree Footprint<br />
Trust), Ngati Wheke, Rapaki and<br />
Christchurch Attractions/Christchurch<br />
Gondola to plant the trees in Heathcote<br />
Valley in September.<br />
The memorial grove at the Christchurch<br />
Gondola site will be a nature-based memorial<br />
for Prince Philip.<br />
Hillary Award participants will help<br />
with the upkeep as part of their voluntary<br />
service.<br />
The grove will be a part of the trust’s<br />
initiative to carry out cultural and ecological<br />
reforestation of the Port Hills and<br />
support the return of native birds, insects<br />
and reptiles.<br />
Said Christchurch Attractions chief<br />
executive Sue Sullivan: “The Christchurch<br />
Gondola is thrilled to be an integral part<br />
of this commemoration project.<br />
“The planting of 100 native trees at the<br />
base of the Gondola will bring life to the<br />
site and further enhance our relationships<br />
with our community.”<br />
National director of the Hillary Award<br />
Karen Ross said it is honoured to be part<br />
of this initiative and help create a memorial<br />
in the Heathcote Valley’s natural<br />
landscape.<br />
“As well as the memorial to the duke,<br />
this initiative more than ever reflects the<br />
attributes the award equips rangatahi<br />
with, including engagement with our<br />
native landscape and in their communities<br />
and the service provided through the<br />
award,” said Ross.<br />
Te Tapuwae o Rakau Trust chairman<br />
Phillip Duval said its goal is to eventually<br />
plant 10 million trees on the Port Hills.<br />
Duval said tree planting appears to have<br />
grown in popularity across Christchurch<br />
in the last few years and it is an activity all<br />
age groups have been taking part in. He<br />
said it is a great thing to do for the future<br />
of the environment.<br />
“Where there’s an opportunity for<br />
people to plant something that is native<br />
their own country and that will grow,<br />
potentially, for decades, if not 100 years,<br />
that’s a very uplifting, almost a spiritual<br />
thing for a lot of people, because it gives<br />
them hope.”<br />

Coriander’s Sumner is your winter<br />
haven for Indian comfort food<br />
Coriander’s Sumner is one of the great<br />
winter warmers in Christchurch’s seaside<br />
suburbs.<br />
It’s a cosy establishment serving up<br />
absolutely top Indian food, with a team<br />
dedicated to making every experience a<br />
winner.<br />
Coriander’s is committed to superior fresh<br />
ingredients, excellent service, and a fun<br />
atmosphere.<br />
The location has been serving delicious<br />
Indian food to the Sumner community for<br />
18 years, and in October last year it changed<br />
hands to become the newest Coriander’s<br />
restaurant.<br />
After a renovation, the building is looking<br />
stunning, with carefully restored doors and<br />
other interior elements including some of the<br />
original post boxes from its first life as a post<br />
office as well as a brand new mural featuring<br />
a beautiful tiger in the Indian jungle.<br />
Managing director Gaurav Soni said<br />
Coriander’s group of restaurants was<br />
dedicated to the communities it served.<br />
“It’s been a great year so far, getting to know<br />
the very welcoming Sumner community and<br />
getting involved in local events,” he said.<br />
“Check out the Sumner mid-winter swim<br />
next month – Coriander’s will be<br />
donating a prize for one of the<br />
brave swimmers.”<br />
The restaurant is organising<br />
a winter series of live music,<br />
Gaurav said.<br />
“We’ve got some exciting<br />
announcements to make soon,<br />
with some very cool local artists<br />
coming to serenade our guests on<br />
Friday evenings.”<br />
He said the restaurant had also<br />
gotten involved with supporting<br />
local sport.<br />
“We’re sponsoring a player<br />
from Ferrymead <strong>Bay</strong>s Football<br />
Club, and offering some exclusive<br />
deals to members,” Gaurav said.<br />
“It’s a great club, and their teams represent<br />
the area proudly.<br />
“I really recommend getting down to<br />
Ferrymead Park when they’ve got a game on<br />
and getting behind them,” he said.<br />
Coriander’s Sumner is the fourth premier<br />
dining establishment in the 14-year-old<br />
Coriander’s family, alongside Coriander’s St<br />
Asaph Street, Coriander’s Bush Inn, and the<br />
original Coriander’s restaurant in Rolleston.<br />
The restaurant specialises in authentic,<br />
delicious North Indian dishes including<br />
favourites like butter chicken and lamb<br />
vindaloo as well as less-known dishes and<br />
Coriander’s specials.<br />
Coriander’s has a special vegan menu,<br />
featuring a range of plant-based dishes made<br />
with delicious textured soy pieces, all cooked<br />
without ghee.<br />
The Vegan Lovers’ Menu features vegan<br />
versions of classics such as do pyaza, jalfrezee<br />
and saag, as well as traditionally plant-based<br />
dishes such as daal and aloo jerra.<br />
There’s even a vegan butter ‘chicken’ – a<br />
new addition to the menu.<br />
The restaurant is fully licensed and offers<br />
BYO, with an extensive menu of beer –<br />
including Lyttelton’s Eruption Brewing – as<br />
well as wine, cocktails and non-alcoholic<br />
beverages including the ever-popular mango<br />
lassi.<br />
It’s a family friendly restaurant, with a<br />
kids’ menu featuring child-friendly curries<br />
and desserts, and regularly runs special<br />
promotions for families – kids aged 10 and<br />
under can eat free when accompanied by<br />
paying adults all <strong>June</strong>.<br />
Coriander’s Sumner is open for dine in,<br />
take away and delivery in the Sumner area<br />
and offering two free chicken drumsticks<br />
with any two dine-in meals.<br />

Use garlic and onions to jazz up roast<br />
Sunday roasts are<br />
a traditional Kiwi<br />
favourite. Try adding<br />
some powerful flavours<br />
for a change that<br />
should please the<br />
whole family<br />
Roast beef with garlic and<br />
onions<br />
Ingredients<br />
1.5kg rolled roast beef<br />
2 medium onions<br />
2 carrots<br />
2 sticks celery<br />
1 bulb of garlic<br />
1 bunch of mixed fresh herbs ,<br />
such as thyme, rosemary, bay,<br />
sage<br />
olive oil<br />
Directions<br />
Remove the beef from the<br />
fridge 30min before you want to<br />
cook it, to let it come up to room<br />
temperature.<br />
Preheat the oven to 240 deg C.<br />
Wash and roughly chop the<br />
vegetables – there’s no need<br />
to peel them. Break the garlic<br />
bulb into cloves, leaving them<br />
unpeeled.<br />
Pile all the veges, garlic and<br />
herbs into the middle of a large<br />
roasting tray and drizzle with oil.<br />
Drizzle the beef with oil and<br />
season well with sea salt and<br />
black pepper, then rub all over<br />
the meat. Place the beef on top of<br />
the vegetables.<br />
Place the tray in the oven,<br />
then turn the heat down<br />
immediately to 200 deg C<br />
and cook for 1 hour for<br />
medium beef. If you prefer it<br />
medium-rare, take it out five to<br />
10min earlier. For well done,<br />
leave it in for another 10<br />
to 15min.<br />
If you’re doing roast potatoes<br />
and veges, this is the time to<br />
crack on with them – get them<br />
into the oven for the last 45min<br />
of cooking.<br />
Baste the beef halfway through<br />
cooking and if the veges look dry,<br />
add a splash of water to the tray<br />
to stop them from burning.<br />
When the beef is cooked<br />
to your liking, take the tray out of<br />
the oven and transfer the beef to<br />
a board to rest for 15min. Cover<br />
it with a layer of tin foil and a tea<br />
towel and leave<br />
aside while you make your<br />
gravy, horseradish sauce and<br />
yorkshire puddings.<br />
Baked chicken breasts<br />
Ingredients<br />
4 tablespoons olive oil<br />
3 tablespoons honey<br />
2 tablespoons whole grain<br />
mustard<br />
1 tablespoon smooth and mild<br />
Dijon mustard<br />
4 cloves garlic, peeled and<br />
minced<br />
1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon<br />
juice<br />
1/2 teaspoon paprika<br />
2 pounds (1 kg) boneless skinless<br />
chicken breasts, (4 large<br />
chicken breasts)<br />
Salt and cracked black pepper,<br />
to season<br />
2 tablespoons fresh chopped<br />
parsley, to garnish (optional)<br />
Lemon wedges, to serve<br />
(optional)<br />
Directions<br />
Onions roast<br />
up well in<br />
the oven<br />
with beef,<br />
don’t forget<br />
to garnish<br />
with herbs<br />
before<br />
serving.<br />
Preheat oven to 200 deg C.<br />
Lightly grease a baking tray/<br />
sheet with oil and line with foil or<br />
parchment paper.<br />
Combine the oil, honey,<br />
mustards, garlic, lemon juice<br />
and paprika in a small bowl to<br />
combine well.<br />
Place the chicken onto the<br />
prepared baking sheet (tray).<br />
Season generously with salt and<br />
pepper. Spoon three-quarters<br />
of the honey mustard mixture<br />
evenly over the chicken and<br />
spread evenly all over each<br />
breast. Pour a quarter of a cup of<br />
water onto the baking sheet to<br />
prevent burning, creating a sauce<br />
while baking.<br />
Bake until cooked through<br />
(about 20-30min, depending<br />
on the thickness of the breasts).<br />
Spoon the remaining sauce over<br />
each breast and broil (or grill) for<br />
a further three-to-four minutes<br />
on medium-high heat to brown<br />
the chicken and caramelise the<br />
edges.<br />
Cover with foil and allow to<br />
rest for 10min to let the juices<br />
settle before serving.<br />
Garnish with parsley and serve<br />
immediately with lemon wedges.<br />
Notes<br />
To include roasted asparagus,<br />
arrange them onto the same<br />
baking sheet around the chicken<br />
in the last 10 minutes of cooking<br />
time. Rotate them in the pan<br />
juices or pan sauce and season<br />
with salt and pepper.<br />
Most elder abuse is<br />
hidden in plain sight<br />
Abusers are often someone close – A family member, a caregiver,<br />
someone trusted. If you’re concerned about how someone is being treated,<br />
it’s OK to help.<br />

ADVERTISING FEATURE<br />
Showcasing eye-catching qualities from a<br />
front-row position in McCormacks <strong>Bay</strong>, this<br />
architectural abode affords effortless<br />
comfort and accommodates modern living<br />
with considerable ease.<br />
Skilfully composed by the late architect,<br />
Bruce Banbury, and constructed by the<br />
experienced team at Chris Beer Construction<br />
in 2014, the home's cleverly configured<br />
design is in-tune with family living and<br />
responds to the requirements of every<br />
generation.<br />
Striking a bold silhouette and spanning two<br />
levels, the home's primary open-plan<br />
entertaining space occupies the top floor and<br />
steps out to the balcony, where you can<br />
admire the elevated outlook over the park.<br />
An alternative living space and large decks<br />
are found on the ground floor, which assures<br />
flexibility for growing families.<br />
The two-level layout also comprises four<br />
double bedrooms that are evenly distributed<br />
across both levels, with the master enjoying<br />
a first-floor position and the luxury of a<br />
walk-in wardrobe and ensuite.<br />
The décor is desirable and features an array<br />
of contemporary neutrals as well as freshly<br />
laid carpet, while the presence of two heat<br />
pumps will keep you cosy winter-long.<br />
Easy-care grounds are contained within the<br />
fully fenced section, and they could easily be<br />
enhanced with professional landscaping<br />
should you choose.<br />
The internal access garage provides secure<br />
storage, plus a rear roller door for a boat,<br />
which is a bonus given the convenience of<br />
the location, with the Saturday Farmers'<br />
Market only a stroll away while the coastal<br />
walkway and wealth of amenities in<br />
Ferrymead are also close to home.<br />
Making its market debut since its construction,<br />
this property will be a captivating prospect<br />
to many, and with the vendors having<br />
downsized and purchased elsewhere, it's<br />
recommended that interested buyers act<br />
quickly.<br />

26 <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News Wednesday <strong>June</strong> <strong>16</strong> <strong>2021</strong> Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
Plenty of appeal in base model Yaris Cross<br />
I’D NEVER BE put off by entrylevel<br />
cars if a range has several<br />
variants.<br />
Sure, there’s a lot of exciting<br />
technology in the high-spec, top<br />
grade models, but in this modern<br />
age all new vehicles have bling -<br />
features and enough gadgetry to<br />
satisfy.<br />
Take, for example, Toyota’s<br />
Yaris Cross, it’s a range that starts<br />
at $29,990 for a petrol-only GX<br />
model. For my money that’s good<br />
buying for a vehicle that looks like<br />
an SUV, but given its compact size<br />
is probably best described as a<br />
crossover model, a large hatchback<br />
which caters well for the<br />
small family.<br />
The Yaris Cross is also available<br />
in a higher grade – Limited - but<br />
that is a $38,990 hybrid model,<br />
although there is also a GX<br />
hybrid that lists at $33,990. As I’ve<br />
alluded to, GX grade is perfect for<br />
someone who doesn’t need overly<br />
flashy.<br />
It’s important to note, though,<br />
the GX grade still includes a raft<br />
of technology included in the<br />
Toyota Safety Sense suite of kit.<br />
I evaluated the Yaris Cross<br />
hybrid in these columns in March<br />
and liked its trendy style and<br />
involving driving dynamics – the<br />
hybrid system is coupled to a willing<br />
three-cylinder 1.5-litre engine<br />
that charms with its response and<br />
characteristics.<br />
That same engine powers the<br />
petrol-only model. It’s fair to<br />
say that in the Yaris Cross’ case<br />
I’m torn between hybrid and<br />
non-hybrid, each variant has its<br />
own merits, and it’s fair to say the<br />
hybrid would probably win out in<br />
my situation. However, the petrol-only<br />
model will save you a bit<br />
of cash it you can’t come up with<br />
the $4k to buy into the hybrid.<br />
As an aside, the entire Yaris<br />
range is powered by the new<br />
driveline, and I’m yet to be disappointed<br />
with the new configuration<br />
from Toyota.<br />
Developing 88kW and 145Nm,<br />
the outputs are reached a little<br />
tall in the rev band (6600 and<br />
4800rpm respectively), but<br />
three-cylinder units develop a lot<br />
of natural torque and you end up<br />
with solid acceleration and easy<br />
motion at highway speed.<br />
The Yaris Cross won’t set any<br />
speed records, but it will reach<br />
100km/h from a standstill in<br />
TOYOTA YARIS CROSS GX: Well-equipped for a budget price.<br />
under 12sec and plough through<br />
a highway overtake (80-120km/h)<br />
in 7.5sec. If you are brave enough<br />
to risk your licence, the petrol-only<br />
Yaris Cross is also listed with a<br />
180km/h top speed.<br />
Drive is channelled to the front<br />
wheels through a continuously<br />
variable transmission. There are<br />
no surprises there, Toyota has<br />
developed CVT well so it works<br />
almost like a traditional automatic.<br />
The benefit is little drain on the<br />
engine, power that isn’t wasted<br />
through a torque converter. As<br />
a consequence, Toyota claims<br />
some quite startling fuel usage<br />
figures for the Yaris Cross, that’s<br />
no surprise, when I evaluated the<br />
standard Yaris, the wee three-potter<br />
was an absolute fuel miser.<br />
The Yaris Cross is listed with<br />
a 5.4-litre per 100km combined<br />
cycle average. That fits well with<br />
the readout on the evaluation<br />
car – 7l/100km. That figure was<br />
helped by a long highway drive,<br />
the engine turning over freely<br />
at 2100rpm at 100km/h, returning<br />
an instantaneous figure of<br />
4l/100km.<br />
I had an item to pick up in the<br />
McKenzie Country, so the Yaris<br />
Cross was presented with the<br />
fabulous State Highway 72 scenic<br />
route for the round trip. It cruises<br />
well with little noise intrusion and<br />
an amazingly comfortable ride.<br />
The suspension is all class, even<br />
given there’s a tube beam rear axle<br />
tying the two rear wheels together.<br />
That aside, the spring and damper<br />
rates are a perfect compromise<br />
between ride comfort, absorbing<br />
road ripples and containing body<br />
balance in a corner.<br />
• Price – Toyota Yaris Cross<br />
GX, $29,990<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4180mm; width, 1765mm;<br />
height, 1590mm<br />
• Configuration – Threecylinder,<br />
front-wheeldrive,<br />
1490cc, 88kW,<br />
145Nm, continuously<br />
variable automatic<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 11.8sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 5.4l/100km<br />
It’s not often you get a clean run<br />
through the twisty, hilly section<br />
leading in and out of Fairlie, but I<br />
scored that section free of traffic on<br />
my return journey and punted the<br />
Yaris Cross through there with a<br />
bit of motion. I can report it steers<br />
beautifully through its Bridgestone<br />
tyres (205/65 x <strong>16</strong>in), directional<br />
change is accurate and the entire<br />
car is composed under pressure.<br />
The GX Yaris Cross is aimed at<br />
the budget buyer but those people<br />
will still feel as if they have scored<br />
a bargain. Major features include<br />
full electrics, radar cruise control<br />
and multi-function steering wheel.<br />
It’s been a heady year or so<br />
for Toyota New Zealand, new<br />
models have landed constantly<br />
and the choice for the Toyota<br />
buyer has never been better. The<br />
Yaris Cross is just one model<br />
in a comprehensive range. I<br />
particularly like the concept and I<br />
particularly like the entry-level<br />
model.<br />
