ANDREW TURNER, a serious<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 />

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 />

RUBBISH BINS<br />

Rubbish bins have been replaced<br />

along the Sumner Esplanade<br />

as part of the city council park<br />

team smart bin roll-out across<br />

all city parks. The new bins are<br />

be placed at the end of Head St<br />

• By Samantha Mythen<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 />

received from Manatū Taonga<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 />

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 />

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 />

In contrast, John Creagh, of<br />

Lyttelton, said: “Not Andrew, as<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 />

PHOTOS: GEOFF SLOAN<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 />

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 />

I live in Cass <strong>Bay</strong> and go<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 />

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 />

<strong>Bay</strong>. My house backed onto an<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 />

Please use your real name, not a nickname, alias, pen<br />

both directions.<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 />

Stylianou<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 />

OPINION 13<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 />

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 />
