ANDREW TURNER, a serious<br />
man, or Phil Mauger, the<br />
maverick who dug a trench to<br />
try and stop flooding in the<br />
eastern suburbs.<br />
These are the potential<br />
candidates Lyttelton resident,<br />
poet and radio show host Gary<br />
McCormick would consider<br />
voting for as mayor if there was<br />
an election this weekend.<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News went<br />
to Lyttelton on Monday to<br />
gauge people’s preferences for<br />
who they would like to see as<br />
the next mayor.<br />
McCormick said: “Mostly, I<br />
value passion, and digging up<br />
the drains [trench] sounds very<br />
passionate, so maybe<br />
that guy.”<br />

Pages Rd in April to solve a<br />
flooding problem that had been<br />
unresolved for 10 years.<br />
He was fined $300 by the city<br />

Boy racer<br />
sting nabs<br />
routine<br />
drivers<br />
• By Samantha Mythen<br />
THREE HUNDRED and eighty<br />
tickets were issued to speeding<br />
motorists over the weekend.<br />
Speeding tickets issued included<br />
79 in Cass <strong>Bay</strong>, 91 on Bridle Path<br />
Rd, 81 in the tunnel (all 50km/h<br />
areas) and 129 on Tunnel Rd<br />
(100km/h area).<br />
Police launched an operation<br />
targeting boy racers but caught<br />
many routine motorists, said<br />
Sergeant Gerard Peoples.<br />
A number of local motorists<br />
were among those ticketed.<br />
Peoples said it was “a bit disappointing.”<br />
“The law of physics doesn’t discern<br />
between a ‘boy racer’ and a<br />
mum and dad driver. If you speed,<br />
you’re more likely to crash and the<br />
impact will be greater on you and/<br />
or others,” he said.<br />
It was Lyttelton Police’s latest<br />
road policing operation to stop<br />
speeders and boy racers.<br />
Peoples said they worked alongside<br />
staff from the anti-social road<br />
users section.<br />
“Overall, it was a pretty quiet<br />
weekend,” he said.<br />
“Happy to be proved wrong,<br />
but there seems to be less boy<br />
racer activity around than a few<br />
months ago.”<br />

THAT WAS a heck of a lot of<br />
motorists caught speeding at<br />
the weekend.<br />
On page 1 today we reveal<br />
the numbers from a police<br />
speed and boy racer operation.<br />
A total of 380 tickets were<br />
issued in Cass <strong>Bay</strong>, Bridle Path<br />
Rd, in the Lyttelton tunnel and<br />
on Tunnel Rd.<br />
Police say it was quiet on the<br />
boy racer front, which means<br />
there were a lot of what could<br />
be termed routine drivers<br />
caught. Police have described<br />
them as mums and dads.<br />
Speeding around the bays<br />
with the tight corners and<br />
through the Lyttelton tunnel is<br />
simply dumb and dangerous.<br />

THE ICONIC British Hotel<br />
is applying for a city council<br />
heritage grant to assist with the<br />
cost of building a new roof and<br />
parapet.<br />
The British was badly damaged<br />
during the earthquakes and is<br />
slowly being restored.<br />
Rebecca Lovell-Smith and her<br />
partner Christian Carruthers<br />
bought the building post-quakes.<br />
Lovell-Smith said Carruthers<br />
had always loved the building.<br />
“We didn’t want it to be demolished<br />
after the earthquakes,”<br />
GLORY DAYS:<br />
Restoration is under<br />
way for the iconic<br />
British Hotel, pictured<br />
before it was rebuilt<br />
in the 1940s (left) and<br />
today.<br />
she said.<br />
“We knew how important it<br />
was to Lyttelton; it holds a fond<br />
place in many people’s hearts.”<br />
Work has already begun on the<br />
top floor, which was the former<br />
manager’s flat and hotel rooms.<br />
It is planned to keep this space as<br />
accommodation.<br />
One room will be set up as a<br />
small museum with pieces from<br />
the hotel’s past on display.<br />
With the grant’s help, Lovell-<br />
Smith and Carruthers are hoping<br />
to rebuild the parapet later<br />
this year.<br />
The parapet reflects the building’s<br />
late deco-inspired architecture<br />
in the moderne style, with<br />
rounded corners and porthole<br />
windows.<br />
“The British is an important<br />
part not only of Lyttelton’s<br />
history but also its streetscape<br />
and architecture,” said Lovell-<br />
Smith.<br />
“We want to keep the building<br />
in its original state, there are no<br />
flash renovation plans.”<br />
The hotel is currently home to<br />
four local businesses – Arcana<br />
Tattoo parlour, the Commoners<br />
Bar, the Lost Property junk shop,<br />
and Big Sam’s Tools.<br />
Lovell-Smith said every<br />
Saturday when she opens Lost<br />
Property, people always come in<br />
and tell her diverse stories about<br />
the time they have spent in the<br />
hotel.<br />
Rebuilt in the 1940s, the<br />
British has a rich history with a<br />
colourful reputation.<br />
It was frequented by sailors<br />
from all over the world, who saw<br />
it as home whenever their ships<br />
arrived at the port.<br />
The Banks Peninsula<br />
Community Board has written<br />
a letter in support of the request<br />
for a heritage grant.<br />
LAND TRANSFERRED<br />
About 80ha of Port Hills land<br />
red-zoned after the earthquakes<br />
was transferred from the Crown<br />
to the city council at the beginning<br />
of this month. The 440 Port<br />
Hills properties are spread from<br />
Whitewash Head on Scarborough<br />
Hill to Charteris <strong>Bay</strong>, including<br />
pockets in Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong>,<br />
Lyttelton, Sumner, Redcliffs,<br />
Cashmere, the Avoca, Horotane<br />
and Heathcote valleys, and<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong>.<br />
FUNDS FOR COTTAGE<br />
Stoddart Cottage, the oldest<br />
colonial building in Diamond<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> and the birthplace of<br />
painter Margaret Stoddart, will<br />
benefit from $209,033 of funding<br />
received from Manatū Taonga<br />
Ministry of Culture and Heritage’s<br />

tips for gardening in <strong>July</strong>!<br />
Now is the time to have a<br />
great tidy up! If you have a<br />
problem with pests in your<br />
greenhouse empty it out and<br />
give it a good clean with<br />
weak solution of bleach.<br />
This will kill any bugs or<br />
diseases that are in their<br />
dormant stage waiting for<br />
warm weather to reappear.<br />
Protect any frost<br />
sensitive plants by<br />
covering them with<br />
a frost cloth. Plant<br />
strawberries and<br />
deciduous fruit trees<br />
and roses now.<br />
Prune your grape vines,<br />
fruit trees and your<br />
hydrangeas. Add lime to<br />
your pink hydrangeas<br />
to keep them pink and<br />
Sulphur peat to the soil<br />
for your blue hydrangeas<br />
to keep them blue.<br />
Indoor plants can be<br />
a little more difficult<br />
over Winter especially<br />
where watering is<br />
concerned, water your<br />
house plants when the<br />
potting mix is dry. It is<br />
easy to over water at<br />
this time of year.<br />

A pest-free peninsula possible<br />
• By Samantha Mythen<br />
CASS BAY residents have rallied<br />
together against rats and other<br />
predators in their community as<br />
part of a wider initiative to make<br />
Banks Peninsula pest free.<br />
Twenty-five people gathered<br />
together on Sunday to learn<br />
about predator control and how<br />
to set their own traps.<br />
The afternoon was organised<br />
by Predator Free Port Hills, a<br />
backyard trapping initiative that<br />
aims to get Port Hills communities’<br />
involved in protecting<br />
native species.<br />
Predator-free project co-ordinator<br />
Marie Gray said the day<br />
went really well with attendees<br />
showing great interest and enthusiasm.<br />
She said there has been a<br />
recent surge in interest from<br />
households in learning about<br />
predator control in their own<br />
backyards. She thought this was<br />
inspired by people watching the<br />
Fight for the Wild documentary<br />
film and podcast series.<br />
“People are realising the<br />
importance of predator control<br />
and what they can do to help,”<br />
she said.<br />
The project is aiming for a trap<br />
to be in one in every five backyards<br />
by 2024.<br />
It was launched by the Summit<br />
Road Society in 2016, with the<br />
goal to create a buffer zone between<br />
Christchurch city and the<br />
wider Banks Peninsula area.<br />
The project has since started<br />
working alongside Whaka-ora<br />
Healthy <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
Whaka-ora programme<br />
manager Karen Banwell also<br />
attended the Sunday workshop.<br />
“We are all working for a pestfree<br />
Banks Peninsula,” she said.<br />
She has caught 116 rats and<br />
one weasel over the last three<br />
years in her two backyard traps.<br />
Brent Barrett led the workshop.<br />
Barrett manages a number of<br />
landscape pest control projects<br />
around the Port Hills, including<br />
in red-zoned land.<br />
“With predator control, it’s<br />
essential to think in a landscape<br />
way, not just about your own<br />
patch of land,” he said.<br />
“In [a] dynamic approach, you<br />
should team up with others in<br />
your neighbourhood.”<br />
He said targeting stoats and<br />
weasels is essential as they are<br />
very successful predators and if<br />
not controlled, their populations<br />
grow quickly.<br />
However, Barrett said he was<br />
TRAP THOSE<br />
RATS: Brent<br />
Barrett shared<br />
his insights<br />
on predator<br />
behaviour<br />
and trapping<br />
with Cass <strong>Bay</strong><br />
residents. <br />
quite optimistic about pest<br />
control in the Port Hills.<br />
“The Port Hills are more on<br />
top of this than people realise,<br />
receiving funding and focus<br />
from various groups,” he said.<br />
“We are working in a large<br />
area, but with only a few gaps.”<br />
Predator Free Sumner <strong>Bay</strong>s is<br />
currently working to eradicate<br />
pests on the other side of the<br />
Port Hills.<br />
Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> School<br />
pupils and their families joined<br />
in the initiative earlier in June,<br />
building their own traps.<br />

• From page 1<br />
Police units patrolled from<br />
Sumner, Redcliffs, Heathcote,<br />
Lyttelton and the various bays,<br />
through to Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
and over Gebbies Pass to the<br />
Motukarara area.<br />
Said Peoples: “The speed<br />
enforcement we conducted was<br />
targeting narrow and windy roads<br />
where speed is an issue and causes<br />
an extra hazard due to the road’s<br />
nature.”<br />
Static observation posts also<br />
captured speeding drivers via<br />
video recordings.<br />
“I want to impress upon<br />
offending drivers that even if they<br />
don’t see police they may still<br />
be recorded and stopped by an<br />
unmarked car when they leave the<br />
area or get a door knock days later<br />
and receive an impoundment<br />
notice and summons,” said<br />
Peoples.<br />
“Paranoia is the best prevention.”<br />
A static observation post<br />
at Naval Point resulted in the<br />
impoundment of a car over the<br />
weekend. The driver was charged<br />
with sustained loss of traction<br />
after a prolonged burnout.<br />
Peoples said they would<br />
continue to conduct these<br />
operations monitoring anti-social<br />
road use in Banks Peninsula.<br />

Young scholars rewarded for work<br />
SUCCESS: Isobel Gould with Viv Cotter, who<br />
supported the science scholarship.<br />
• By Samantha Mythen<br />
THE SUMNER Ferrymead<br />
Foundation recognised and<br />
awarded young students of<br />
their community during their<br />

Three scholarships and a grant,<br />
totalling more than $18,000 were<br />
awarded to four worthy recipients<br />
on Thursday evening.<br />
Isobel Gould was awarded<br />
a scholarship of $5000 for her<br />

study.<br />
Gould is majoring in<br />
pharmacology at Otago<br />

she will not be running<br />
for a fourth term as mayor. It<br />

to be a hotly-contested mayoral<br />

Turner, deputy mayor<br />

councillor has previously said he<br />
would not run against Dalziel.<br />
The door is now open for him.<br />
Heathcote resident Jasmine<br />
Bishop who was in Lyttelton on<br />
Monday, said she was likely go<br />
with Turner if he ran due to his<br />
connections with the Labour<br />
Party, as a People’s Choice<br />
councillor.<br />
In contrast, John Creagh, of<br />
Lyttelton, said: “Not Andrew, as<br />
he hasn’t done a lot to be seen<br />
for Lyttelton.”<br />
Other potential mayoral<br />
candidates are Heathcote<br />
Ward city councillor Sara<br />
Templeton and fellow city<br />
councillors Mike Davidson and<br />
James Gough.<br />
A Heathcote resident, who<br />
did not want to be named, said<br />
he knows Templeton personally<br />
and that he would vote for her<br />
if she ran because she is quite<br />

Kiwibank’s<br />
Ferrymead<br />
branch closes<br />
• By Samantha Mythen<br />
THE KIWIBANK branch in<br />
Ferrymead closed on Friday.<br />
The branch has been operating<br />
out of Take Note on Ferry Rd,<br />
alongside a New Zealand Post<br />
branch.<br />
A Kiwibank spokesperson said:<br />
“For customers, Kiwibank would<br />
have liked to maintain services<br />
in Ferrymead, however the host<br />
business, Take Note, has decided<br />
not to continue its contract with<br />
us.”<br />
Take Note declined to comment.<br />
Kiwibank has been in touch<br />
with the seven customers who<br />
exclusively use the Ferrymead<br />
agent to work through alternative<br />
banking options.<br />
Kiwibank was originally<br />
relocated to Ferrymead from its<br />
branch in Woolston in 2015.<br />
The community enthusiastically<br />
campaigned against the move<br />
with 240 people signing a petition<br />
to stop its closure. The city<br />
council joined the campaign by<br />
sending a letter to New Zealand<br />
Post, which owns Kiwibank.<br />
However, the relocation still<br />
went ahead.<br />
At the time, New Zealand<br />
Post retail distribution general<br />
manager Tracey Berry said the<br />
company was investing in a<br />
full-service post shop and Kiwibank<br />
branch in Ferrymead.<br />
Deputy mayor Andrew Turner<br />
said banks are often at the heart<br />
of communities.<br />
“For every one facility like this<br />
that closes in the community, we<br />
lose one more element of community<br />
connection,” he said.<br />
“While I realise banking is<br />
moving online to the digital<br />
environment, there are still many<br />
people in communities, such as<br />
the elderly and business owners,<br />
who value the service on-site<br />
banks provide and the face-toface<br />
contact.”<br />
Turner said with the Woolston<br />
closure in 2015, the Ferrymead<br />
bank became even more essential,<br />
yet with its closure on Friday,<br />
residents are going to have to<br />
travel even further for their contact<br />
banking.<br />
The nearest Kiwibank service<br />
to Ferrymead is in St Martins or<br />
on Colombo St.<br />

School production dazzles<br />
• By Samantha Mythen<br />
BIG, SPECTACULAR and<br />
exciting were some of the words<br />
used to describe Diamond<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> School’s production of<br />
The Lion King.<br />
The show was held over the<br />
weekend.<br />
Acting deputy principal and<br />
production director Sally Craw<br />
said there was a huge buy-in<br />
from the community.<br />
The Friday and Saturday<br />
evening shows sold out and<br />
people had to be turned away<br />
on Saturday.<br />
There were only four tickets<br />
left for the opening night on<br />
Thursday.<br />
“It was really exciting seeing<br />
everyone in their costumes and<br />
with their masks,” said Craw.<br />
The entire school was involved,<br />
either taking on a lead role or<br />
acting in the wider chorus.<br />
Teachers, parents and other<br />
family members helped with<br />
creating costumes and the background<br />
set.<br />
Craw said they have received<br />
great positive feedback from<br />
everyone who saw the show.<br />
Several parents commented on<br />
the school’s Facebook page that<br />
it was the best school production<br />
they had ever seen.<br />
“I am really proud of the kids,”<br />
said Craw.<br />
“There is quite a lot of talent<br />
here.”<br />
Several performing pupils will<br />
be attending Cashmere High<br />
School next year, where Craw<br />
expected they would engage with<br />
the high school’s great drama<br />
department.<br />
Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> School has<br />
a production every two years.<br />
“We now have two years to<br />
recover,” said Craw with a laugh.<br />

Keeping the old post office lines<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
“SOME PEOPLE preserve family<br />
heirlooms, some people preserve<br />
cakes, but why? If we stop doing<br />
these things then I think we’ve<br />
lost the plot.”<br />
Those are the words of George<br />
Wealleans, who has mastered the<br />
art of preservation as founder<br />
and inaugural president of the<br />
Ferrymead Post and Telegraph<br />
Historical Society.<br />
It is why the 75-year-old is in<br />
charge of the group responsible<br />
for conserving the country’s<br />
communications’ history in<br />
a 1920s post office building,<br />
nestled within Ferrymead<br />
Heritage Park.<br />
“If I don’t, then who’s going<br />
to?” said Wealleans.<br />
“It’s partly ego, partly a desire<br />
to preserve our history. You<br />
might as well preserve something<br />
you’re keen on.”<br />
The society collects and<br />
restores vintage telegraphy,<br />
telephone and switching systems<br />
mainly from the New Zealand<br />
Post Office and formerly Telecom<br />
New Zealand.<br />
The items, sourced from all<br />
over the country, are in working<br />
order, allowing visitors to get a<br />
feel for what life was like before<br />
the digital age.<br />
The exhibition may look like a<br />
CALLING: George Wealleans with one of the old telephones in the Ferrymead Post and<br />
Telegraph Historical Society building.<br />

museum, but it has not<br />
strayed too far from its original<br />
purpose – the building still<br />
provides postal agency services<br />
and philatelic (postage stamp)<br />
sales.<br />
Wealleans and a few others<br />
established the society in 1977<br />
during a time when the country’s<br />
morse system and telegraph<br />
service were closing down in<br />
1963 and 1988, respectively.<br />
One of the members already<br />
worked at the Ferrymead<br />
tramways, so the heritage park<br />
was seen as the perfect location<br />
to keep the practice alive.<br />
Otherwise, it would have<br />
“ended up on shelves in a shed.”<br />
“When some of the equipment<br />
out there was ready to be<br />
taken out, we wanted to see it<br />
preserved. So I called a meeting<br />
with post officers in town and<br />
established a group,” he said.<br />
“[Now] we have been tasked, or<br />
dumped, with the idea of looking<br />
after this stuff on behalf of the<br />
people of New Zealand.<br />
“But there’s no benefit of<br />
looking after this stuff other than<br />
our hobby.”<br />
Born in Oamaru, Wealleans<br />
was raised in Timaru by his<br />
uncle and aunt when his father<br />
left the picture.<br />
In the 23 years that followed,<br />
he completed school certificate<br />
and locked in his first job at the<br />
Timaru Post Office at 16-yearsold<br />
as a trainee telephone<br />
mechanician.<br />
In search of love, he<br />
relocated to Christchurch in<br />
1971 to get hitched, eventually<br />
building a house, raising three<br />
children of his own, and starting<br />
a new role at the telephone<br />
exchange.<br />

of communication open<br />
“We’re still at the same address<br />
with the same phone number in<br />
Avondale.”<br />
Wealleans loved the idea<br />
of being able to help facilitate<br />
communication between others.<br />
The biggest change he<br />
witnessed over time was cell<br />
phones. But as someone who<br />
championed communication,<br />
they were “abhorrent,” as they<br />
created too many distractions.<br />
He also prided himself on<br />
accuracy – his boss once said his<br />
wire tying and lacing skills were<br />
always neat. “It’s the technology<br />
too that got me hooked, and<br />
the data from one computer to<br />
another. The theory of how a cell<br />
phone works is just as important<br />
as the piece of equipment,” he<br />
said.<br />
“Each component leads to a<br />
core computer, then it goes out<br />
through a cellular network and<br />
up to a satellite, passing bits of<br />
messages, then back down to say,<br />
the phone of your mate who just<br />
happens to be having lunch in<br />
San Francisco.”<br />

in New Zealand in the 1880s. Left – George Wealleans using some of the old post<br />
office equipment.<br />

But after 31 years in the<br />
industry, it all changed when he<br />
was made redundant in 1992 –<br />
two years after deciding to take<br />
a decade-long hiatus as president<br />
of the historical society.<br />
He spent the next 17 years after<br />
that working in a factory making<br />
plastic bags before he “weaseled”<br />
his way back into the society’s<br />
presidential role about 10 years<br />
ago.<br />
“In every job I’ve had, there’s<br />
been an element of being your<br />
own master,” said Wealleans.<br />
“Obviously you’re following<br />
the instructions. Like at the<br />
plastic bag machine, you’re given<br />
instructions on how long to<br />
make the bag, but they didn’t tell<br />
you how fast to make it.<br />
“So I fine-tuned the machine a<br />
bit to get it going at say, 65 bags a<br />
minute, instead of 50.”<br />
Wealleans is at the<br />
heritage park nearly every day,<br />
and he would not have it any<br />
other way.<br />
But a major regret was not<br />
becoming an architect after<br />
nearly failing a technical exam<br />
in high school – a dream that<br />
grew momentum the second he<br />
received his first Meccano set.<br />
Said Wealleans: “I wouldn’t<br />
go as far as saying I’m an artist<br />
but I can visualise things from a<br />
technical perspective, put it on<br />
paper and draw it, like a circuit<br />
diagram. I’ve always treated my<br />
job as a hobby because I love my<br />
work. I’m able to share all my<br />
experiences with a whole lot of<br />
people, even those who aren’t<br />
ex-post office.”<br />

Readers respond to last week’s article in the <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News about a call<br />
for a powered vessel ban in Rapaki<br />

thought Rapaki <strong>Bay</strong> was already<br />
powerboat free. It really should<br />
be.<br />
People can launch small boats<br />

with the bay becoming more<br />

safety concerns, especially for<br />

There does need to be beaches<br />

I certainly think there should<br />
be a ban on motorised vessels at<br />
Rapaki and that includes jet skis.<br />
Rapaki is a very special area<br />
and popular with swimmers. Jet<br />
skis are dangerous and the noise<br />
destroys the calm of the bay. The<br />
same goes for motor boats.<br />
It is also important for kai<br />
moana gathering for the people<br />
who live at Rapaki. I would like<br />
to see more areas of the harbour<br />
protected from motor boats and<br />
jet skis. It must upset birds and<br />
wildlife too, it is their home. –<br />

enviable beach front location.<br />
Thus I took up stand-up<br />
paddle boarding as a hobby.<br />
Even then I was troubled by<br />
those motorised vehicles with<br />
irresponsible handlers.<br />
I often return to the bays<br />
to walk the tracks offered in<br />

Sunshine coinciding with<br />
school holidays and public holidays<br />
see greatly increased traffic,<br />
water activities, jet skis and<br />
smaller boats and dingies with<br />
outboard vehicles coming into<br />
the bay areas.<br />
Water safety and speed restriction’<br />
protocols often lapse.<br />
Moreover, an increasing amount<br />
of alcohol is bought to beaches,<br />
consumed, and water etiquette is<br />
compromised.<br />
I certainly would not feel<br />
confident to confront a jet skier<br />
who I suspected was under the<br />
influence of alcohol. I’d simply<br />
remove myself from the water.<br />
Now more than ever, when<br />
it is critical to reverse and<br />
protect our larger environments<br />
from further degradations and<br />
personal injury, should policies<br />
place environment stewardship,<br />
before those pleasure seekers<br />
that have no regard to what<br />
damage or anxiety they might<br />
cause.<br />
I strongly support a ban on<br />
motorised vessels in Rapaki.<br />
And support it being extended<br />
in other coastal areas of the<br />
Banks Peninsula.<br />
I hope that residents and<br />
non-residents can see improvements<br />
and that increased safety<br />
measures become the new norm.<br />
Enabling sustainable pleasure<br />
for the greater majority of<br />
people to enjoy together. – P J<br />

WELL, IT was another busy few<br />
weeks in the Banks Peninsula<br />
electorate as we hurtled toward<br />
the shortest day of the year.<br />
Some of the highlights for<br />
me were a visit to Kidsfirst<br />
Lyttelton where the enthusiastic<br />
youngsters opted to show me<br />
how to clamber up the slopes of<br />
the impressive backyard – I was<br />
regrettably far less sure-footed<br />
and, although fun, it was also<br />
lovely to catch up in the warm<br />
with the wonderful team at<br />
Project Lyttelton and call in to<br />
see Sergeant Peoples at the local<br />
police station.<br />
Similarly, I was very grateful<br />
for the hospitality at the Woolston<br />
Fire Station when Elaine,<br />
one of my excellent electorate<br />
staffers, and I called in with some<br />
afternoon tea. I credit the quality<br />
of the baking with the chance to<br />
get behind the driver’s wheel.<br />
Principal Chris and I were<br />
treated to an impromptu haka at<br />
Mt Pleasant School after a lovely<br />
visit with Liza and the team at<br />
kindy down the hill.<br />

Tracey McLellan<br />
Member of Parliament Banks Peninsula<br />
A chance to catch up<br />
with the electorate<br />
Saturday started with the<br />
chance to acknowledge World<br />
Refugee Day at Rapaki Marae.<br />
Thank you to everyone for making<br />
it so special, especially Nuk,<br />
Sally, Ta Mark and Ahmed.<br />
Speaking of sparkle. While I<br />
had heard about the famous Star<br />
of the Sea Sumner school lipsync<br />
competition I hadn’t seen it<br />
with my own eyes until Saturday<br />
night where I was stoked to be<br />
a judge alongside James Daniels<br />
and Marianne Delaney-Hoshek.<br />
Highly recommend and congratulations.<br />
It’s rare that I venture out of<br />
Banks Peninsula in a recess<br />
week, but it was an honour to<br />
support my colleague Kiri Allen<br />
as she continues her recovery<br />
from cervical cancer treatment. I<br />
spent Wednesday and Thursday<br />
visiting wonderful organisations<br />
doing fantastic work in Whakatane<br />
and Opotiki.<br />
I know Kiri would want me to<br />
take this opportunity to remind<br />
everyone to keep their regular<br />
checks up to date.<br />

False Witness<br />
by Karin Slaughter<br />
He saw what you did ... He knows who you are. The<br />
stunning new standalone from the no.1 international<br />
bestselling author<br />
They thought they’d got away with it ... they were<br />
wrong.<br />
Leigh and her sister Callie are not bad people - but one<br />
night, more than two decades ago, they did something<br />
terrible. And the result was a childhood tarnished by secrets,<br />
broken by betrayal, devastated by violence.<br />
Years later, Leigh has pushed that night from her mind and become a successful<br />
lawyer - but when she is forced to take on a new client against her will, her world<br />
begins to spiral out of control.<br />
Because the client knows the truth about what happened twenty-three years ago.<br />
He knows what Leigh and Callie did. And unless they stop him, he’s going to tear<br />
their lives apart ...<br />
Just because you didn’t see the witness ... doesn’t mean he wasn’t there.<br />
Sisters of the Resistance<br />
A Novel of Catherine Dior’s Paris Spy Network<br />
by Christine Wells<br />
Two sisters join the Paris Resistance in this page-turning new novel inspired by the<br />
real-life bravery of Catherine Dior, sister of the fashion designer and a heroine of<br />
World War II France—perfect for fans of Kate Quinn and Jennifer Chiaverini.<br />
“As dazzling as a Dior gown! With a gorgeous blend of fashion, heartbreak, heroism,<br />
and love this book will transport you to France...” —Natasha Lester, New York Times<br />
bestselling author of The Paris Secret<br />
Paris, 1944: The war is nearly over, but for members of the Resistance in occupied<br />
France, it is more dangerous than ever before. Twenty-five-year-old Gabby Foucher<br />
loathes the Nazis, though as the concierge of 10 rue Royale, she does her best to<br />
avoid conflict—unlike her bolder sister Yvette, who finds trouble at every turn.<br />
Then they are both recruited into the Resistance by Catherine Dior and swept into<br />
a treacherous world of spies, fugitives, and intrigue. While Gabby risks everything<br />
for the man she is hiding from the Nazis, Yvette must decide whether to trust an<br />
enigmatic diplomat who seems to have guessed her secret. As the threat of betrayal<br />
draws ever-closer, one slip could mean the deaths of many, and both sisters must<br />
make choices they might regret.<br />

Singing in a chorus an uplifting experience<br />
• By Eva Munro<br />
IT WAS QUITE an effort for<br />
my friends to convince me to<br />
audition for the Christchurch City<br />
Chorus in February.<br />
Retired last year, I was already<br />
pretty busy with my garden and<br />
oil painting. I wasn’t looking for<br />
more hobbies.<br />
How wrong I was because singing<br />
turned out to be more than<br />
a hobby. It’s a new and inspiring<br />
way of life – new knowledge,<br />
new skills, new experience, new<br />
acquaintances, even a new reality.<br />
I am not a native English speaker<br />
and thought I would struggle<br />
with my accent. I had never heard<br />
of the songs we perform. Each<br />
week at practice, we are taught<br />
clear and correct pronunciation<br />
and breathing techniques and<br />
even acting while singing.<br />
I then just download each song<br />
10 times in a row onto my phone<br />
and keep listening and singing<br />
along while gardening or doing<br />
my house chores.<br />
I keep discovering my voice,<br />
which I never even thought I had.<br />
Long ago, I sang at after-school<br />
care.<br />
Later, I sang Happy Birthday at<br />
parties. These were my only experiences<br />
of performing until in<br />
April, as one of over 100 women<br />
in the chorus, I got standing ovations<br />
at my first concerts.<br />
A crucial part of the learning<br />
process and the atmosphere in the<br />
chorus are our leaders. Our musical<br />
director, Virginia Humphrey-<br />
Taylor began her training singing<br />
in opera and musical theatre.<br />
Richard Marrett also supports<br />
us as a vocal coach and pianist.<br />
Apart from being highly qualified<br />
professionals, they are kind,<br />
joyful, cordial people with a great<br />
sense of humour.<br />
Nataliia, the friend who introduced<br />
me to the chorus, agrees<br />
that it offers a lot more than<br />
merely singing.<br />
“The chorus is a ‘me’ time away<br />
from the constant stress of everyday<br />
life. It gives a sense of belonging<br />
and connection, the pleasure<br />
of doing something together,<br />
constant development of vocal<br />
skills … the whole atmosphere<br />
feels benevolent and uplifting,’’<br />
Nataliia said.<br />
Nataliia sings to her baby to<br />
practice, and the clever child is<br />
already singing along.<br />
Singing aloud and thinking<br />
about making it clear and<br />
expressive shuts the mind to the<br />
challenges and problems of these<br />
days.<br />
Singing in the chorus is indeed<br />
a way to a better world.<br />

Facelift for Suzuki Ignis adds to appeal<br />
A SALESMAN once told me cars<br />
sell on style.<br />
That doesn’t surprise me,<br />
but for my money it’s what is<br />
underneath the body shell that is<br />
most important as a purchase.<br />
Suzuki New Zealand has done<br />
really well with its cheeky and<br />
charming compact sport utility<br />
vehicle – the Ignis.<br />
That comes down to what<br />
is good to look at, along<br />
with engineering that is built<br />
for efficiency along with<br />
performance and reliability.<br />
I’m not talking about speed<br />
and acceleration, the Ignis is not<br />
designed for that kind of role,<br />
but what it does do really well<br />
is combine some out-of-thebox<br />
thinkingdesign-wise along<br />
with the mechanicals that fit the<br />
mould of the car.<br />
For <strong>2021</strong> the Ignis has just had<br />
a bit of a facelift, those alluring<br />
looks are now even stronger<br />
with a new grille, bumpers and<br />
chunky wheel arches. According<br />
to Suzuki, the changes promote<br />
a more rugged look. I’m not<br />
convinced that’s what draws<br />
people to the model, I kind of<br />
liked its more pretty look, but in<br />
no way am I’m suggesting buyers<br />
won’t flock to the Ignis, just<br />
likethey have previously.<br />
There’s also been a refresh<br />
inside, there are new seat<br />
coverings along with upgraded<br />
trim details and highlight accents.<br />
Importantly, the new Ignis<br />
also gets a driver’s seat height<br />
adjuster. The reason being is<br />
the Ignis is a car that tempts<br />
those not quite so agile. With<br />
a tallish ride height the Ignis is<br />
easy to access, and with those<br />
extra few centimetres of seat<br />
height that task has just become<br />
even more comfortable. One<br />
of Suzuki’s descriptions for the<br />
Ignis is a high-riding hatchback<br />
with a benefit of that being its<br />
accessibility.<br />
The Ignis also lands here at a<br />
very tempting price - $19,990.<br />
That will buy you into the series<br />
with a manual gearbox, an extra<br />
$3000 will get you continuously<br />
variable automatic transmission,<br />
while the Limited specification<br />
version, as tested, lists at $24,490.<br />
With all of the changes it’s<br />
important to remember the<br />
concept of Ignis hasn’t changed<br />
one bit. It’s also been described<br />
as a mini-SUV, which makes it<br />
a practical load carrier, but in<br />
Limited form it’s only a car for<br />
four people, there are only two<br />
seat belts in the rear. However, if<br />
you are an Ignis buyer and would<br />
like the opportunity to carry<br />
three in the rear, then the GLX<br />
will seat five, albeit it’s a tight<br />
five-seater.<br />
SQUAT: The Ignis is short at 3.7m but it has definite style.<br />
SUZUKI IGNIS LIMITED: Chunky bumper sets the <strong>2021</strong> Ignis apart from its predecessors.<br />
All that aside, under the<br />
hatchback there’s 264-litres of<br />
storage space, if you fold those<br />
rear seats down you can add up<br />
to 516-litres.<br />
Up front sits the delightful<br />
1242cc four-cylinder engine.<br />
It’s a real honey, characterised<br />
by its sweet tone and honest<br />
performance through the<br />
CVT. Suzuki rates the engine<br />
with 66kW and 120Nm power<br />
outputs, even though torque<br />
peaks tallish in the rev band<br />
(4400rpm), the engine works<br />
freely thanks to it being free of<br />
gearbox load.<br />
According to Suzuki’s<br />
promotional material, the<br />
Ignis will return a 4.9-litre per<br />
100km combined cycle fuel<br />
usage average. In my opinion<br />
that would be quite achievable,<br />
during my evaluation time the<br />
readout was constantly listing<br />
at 5.9l/100km, with a 4l/100km<br />
figure cruising gently at 100km/h,<br />
the engine turning over at just<br />
2000rpm in the tallest part of the<br />
gearing.<br />
In terms of performance, the<br />
Ignis will accelerate to 100km/h<br />
in 12sec and will complete a<br />
highway overtake in 8.7sec (80-<br />
120km/h). The engine is a willing<br />
worker and charms with its quiet<br />
operating manner, there’s even a<br />
sport mode if you want to have<br />
the engine working over with a<br />
bit more freedom.<br />
When the corners arrive the<br />

• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 12sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 4.9l/100km<br />
Ignis has tidy handling manners.<br />
It’s important to note the Limited<br />
version gets wheels an inch in<br />
diameter bigger than the GLX<br />
models. Shod with grippy 175/60<br />
x 16in Bridgestone tyres, the<br />
Limited has solid steering feeland<br />
definite directional accuracy.<br />
In terms of suspension control<br />
the Ignis does well given the<br />
limitation of its torsion beam<br />
rear axle, but sensible spring and<br />
damper rates provideacceptable<br />
levels of in-cabin comfort with<br />
little body movement in a<br />
corner. That comes down to the<br />
lightweight of the Ignis, even<br />
in Limited form it weighs just<br />
over 900kg, that not only reaps<br />
handling benefits but is one of the<br />
contributors to sassy performance<br />
and amazing fuel economy.<br />
For a small car the Ignis is big<br />
on specification. Some of the<br />
major items include keyless entry<br />
and ignition, digitally controlled<br />
air conditioning, cruise control<br />
with speed limiter, satellite<br />
navigation, and Apple Car Play<br />
and Android Auto. The latter<br />
functions are operable through<br />
a large centre dash mounted<br />
screen. It is intuitive, simple to<br />
navigate, and doubles as the<br />
viewer for the rear camera.<br />
Importantly, the Ignisalso gets<br />
a high level of electronic kit for<br />
safety, there’s a suite of safety<br />
features that are too numerous<br />
to list in detail, but I can report<br />
that you can relax in the Ignis,<br />
there are protection systems and<br />
a myriad of functions to keep you<br />
out of trouble in the first instance.<br />
Even though Suzuki is<br />
marketing the Ignis as a mini-<br />
SUV, it must be remembered that<br />
it is just a two-wheel-drive (front)<br />
model only and shouldn’t be<br />
asked to travel cross-country.<br />
However, it is a car that charms<br />
with its ability, and don’t let its<br />
diminutive stature fool you, it is<br />
a fun car to drive and to be in. If<br />
you are a person who is drawn to<br />
abstract and like things just a little<br />
out of the ordinary, then the Ignis<br />
is the car for you, its interesting<br />
shapes, colours and standalone<br />
exterior will surely please.<br />
Least of all, its five-year<br />
warranty by Suzuki New Zealand<br />
and the enterprising maintenance<br />
programme from Christchurch’s<br />
dealership makes it an affordable<br />
and rewarding purchase.<br />
has motoring covered!<br />

A Lifestyle of Luxury<br />
9 Beachville Road, Redcliffs<br />
4 bedrooms, 2 living, 1 study, 4 bathrooms, 3 car garaging<br />
Enjoying a prime yet private position off the prestigious Redcliffs waterfront,<br />
this luxuriously appointed residence responds magnificently to the needs<br />
of modern lifestyles and achieves comfort and flexibility within a skilfully<br />
composed floor plan. Designed by local architect Marcus Stufkens, the twolevel<br />
layout has been exquisitely arranged with well-considered spaces and<br />
serves up exceptional living and accommodation options across both floors.<br />
The home’s upper level is dedicated to everyday living and hosts the primary<br />
open-plan entertaining area, which exudes modern appeal and steps outdoors<br />
to two sheltered balconies that capture views of the water. An attractive<br />
family bathroom and two of the home’s four bedrooms are also situated<br />
upstairs, including the master suite that comes complete with a luxurious<br />
walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. An alternative living zone and additional kitchen<br />
occupy the ground floor, which is favourable for families craving space, or<br />
buyers simply seeking a well-appointed area where they can work from home<br />
or have extended guests. Further bedrooms and bathrooms are positioned<br />
downstairs, ensuring your options are cleverly distributed across both floors.<br />
Entertaining in style outdoors is assured with a supreme alfresco environment<br />
that comprises a volcanic stone fireplace and spa, while the outdoor shower<br />
provides the perfect spot to freshen up after a day at the beach. Versatility<br />
is heightened by the presence of a media room and dedicated study with<br />
stunning in-built cabinetry, while an extensive three-car garage, ample on-site<br />
parking and a sauna round out this endlessly appealing residence.<br />
