Increase in call-outs prompt 

bid for St John volunteers 

• By Samantha Mythen 

AN INCREASE in St John 

emergency call-outs on the 

Akaroa side of the peninsula has 

led to a call for more volunteers. 

Said St John Banks Peninsula 

Area committee member Ian 

Moir: “There has been a growth in 

call-outs over the 

past years and the 

majority of these 

are calls from 

locals, not cruise 

ship passengers.” 

From July 2020 

Ian Moir 

to June 2021, the 

St John Akaroa 

team attended 62 

incidents. 

St John is also looking for a new 

base in Akaroa that Moir hopes 

will attract the volunteers it needs. 

The ambulance is currently 

based at the police station 

with the operational volunteers 

sharing the police office headquarters. 

Moir said he was not sure 

why they were seeing increased 

call-outs but wondered if it was 

potentially because of the ageing 

population in the area, alongside 

there being more construction 

sites.

PARTYING ON the coastal 

pathway is about to come to an 

end. Well, maybe. 

We report (page 3) on the 

long-running saga of functions 

at the Sumner surf club spilling 

onto the coastal pathway. 

To be fair to the surf club, 

these are usually private functions 

held by people who have 

hired the club out. 

The city council now wants 

the club to ensure those hiring 

out the facility know they can’t 

take their celebrations onto the 

pathway. 

Easier said than done, I 

suspect. 

On another note, lots of 

reader feedback (page 11) on 

the next step towards a liquor 

licence being able to be granted 

for whatever is built at the 

former Godley House site. 

Get on with it, I say.

Pathway party issues addressed 


Mark 

Lodder 

THE SUMNER Surf Lifesaving 

Club says it will do its best to 

stop functions spilling out onto 

the Coastal Pathway. 

It comes after months of discussions 

between the club, the 

Christchurch Coastal Pathway 

Group and the city council due 

to ongoing concerns raised of 

people at functions obstructing 

the pathway. 

If club members and guests 

want to use the outdoor area 

for events outside of the club’s 

leased boundary, they must now 

ensure the Coastal Pathway 

remains clear and open at all 

times. 

Surf lifesaving 

club chairman 

Mark Lodder 

said the club 

completely 

appreciates the 

outcome and 

will “undertake 

its best 

endeavours to 

ensure this is not 

breached.” 

“As a club, we are very 

committed to our community 

and especially appreciate the 

community for hiring out our 

venue as it is a valuable source of 

club funds,” he said. 

“However, we are very 

particular about how we hire 

out the venue and we will make 

sure it is clear to people using 

it there are strict rules and 

guidelines. The Coastal Pathway 

is the Coastal Pathway. It is not 

an extension of the club hire 

facility.” 

Concerns were raised with 

the club by the city council 

and the pathway group, resulting 

in a trial over the 2020/21 

summer period from November 

to April allowing for temporary 

closures of the pathway for outside 

events such as weddings. 

However, the Coastal 

Pathway was blocked for longer 

periods than was originally 

agreed. 

Coastal Pathway Group 

chairman Hanno Sanders 

presented a deputation to the 

Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board in February 

to discuss the continued 

concerns. 

In response, the community 

board requested the city 

council work with the interested

groups to find a resolution. 

A memorandum on the matter 

was provided to the community 

board on August 2. 

Community board member 

Sara Templeton acknowledged 

the club facility’s charm in “its 

ability to spill out into the coastal 

environment.” 

“It is important, however, 

that the Coastal Pathway isn’t 

blocked for users, especially in 

this section that has access to the 

beach and a really high amenity 

for everyone,” she said.

In Brief 

FUNDING FOR PLANTS 

THe Summit Road Society has 

been granted $650,382 from the 

Department of Conservation 

as part of its Jobs for Nature 

funding application. This will 

allow the group to plant 45,000 

trees and plants on the Port 

Hills over the next three years. 

The Jobs for Nature programme 

is focused on creating naturebased 

employment to encourage 

the economy post-Covid-19. 

The society is partnering with 

Wai-ora Forest Landscapes to 

deliver this project. 

PESTS CAPTURED 

THe total pest catch reported by 

Predator Free Port Hills for this 

year so far is 6267, with reserve 

data still incoming. Since the 

year’s beginning, the group 

has held three trapping 

workshops, seven community 

events and three trap building 

days, as well as practical sessions 

with three schools and one 

kindergarten. The field team 

for Pest-Free Banks Peninsula 

has now started. They will 

begin with the elimination 

programmes at Kaitōrete and 

the extended Wildside area in 

the south-eastern corner of the 

Peninsula.

Call for land to set up 

ambulance base 

• From page 1 

The age group of 65 plus sees 

the highest amount of call-outs, 

with 40 per cent of call-outs 

related to breathing problems and 

25 per cent of call-outs related to 

chest pains. 

Twelve per cent of the call-outs 

are traffic incident related. 

“We also need more volunteers 

on the team,” said Moir. 

He explained there was 

currently a small, dedicated team, 

made up of eight operational 

volunteers, giving their 

personal time in support of the 

community. 

“We think if St John had a 

more prominent presence, it 

would make it easier to recruit 

volunteers,” said Moir. 

“There would be a base and 

home that is theirs.” 

With a new station, the 

team would be able to build 

an ambulance bay, provide 

a meeting and storage area, 

alongside a kitchenette and 

bathroom for the volunteers. 

Earlier this month, Moir, 

St John Banks Peninsula area 

committee chairman Brent 

Stanaway, and St John territory 

manager Ian Rex talked to the 

Banks Peninsula Community 

Board about their quest to find a 

site for a new station. 

At the meeting, the St John 

team discussed potential city 

council-owned land they could 

use. 

This includes a site off Rue 

Balguerie, a piece of land on the 

hill rise between Takamatua 

and Akaroa next to the western 

side of Old Coach Rd, and the 

preferred site of the parking area 

near the Akaroa tennis/netball 

courts and croquet green. 

St John is also asking the 

community for available land. 

“Within the township would be 

quite good,” said Moir. 

“That’s why the parking area 

would work well as we can service 

Akaroa but also get out of town 

quite quickly too.” 

Moir said it would be a fantastic 

result if someone gifted a suitable 

area of land to St John as they are 

hoping for a long-term solution. 

City council head of facilities, 

property and planning Bruce 

Rendall said the city council 

was currently collaborating 

with St John in relation to its 

search for a suitable ambulance 

station site. 

“Discussions between St 

John and council and site 

investigations are at a very early 

stage,” he said. 

•If you have any land St 

John could potentially use 

for a new station in Akaroa, 

email ian.moir@stjohn.org.

Early interest as Cressy House 

Lyttelton goes on the market 


COLOURFUL Cressy House, 

with its rich history, rumoured 

hauntings and ghost tales, is now

Real estate agent 

Michelle Situe 

said she had 

received many 

inquiries about 

the property on 

Michelle

Cressy Tce in 

Lyttelton since 

it was listed last 

Tuesday. 

“It’s surprising how many 

people have inquired,” she said. 

“It’s such a unique property, 

it’s definitely not for everyone.” 

Realestate.co.nz listed its 

capital value as $999,000 in 

November 2019. 

With the first open home this 

Saturday, Situe expects “quite a 

few” people to stop by, with 13 

groups already registered for a 

viewing. 

She said most people interested 

in Cressy House were keen to 

restore it. 

“People love the property and 

would like to restore it to how it 

was.” 

The property – about 600m2 

with 22 bedrooms and 11

the Lyttelton harbour. 

It is currently rented out on a 

room-by-room basis. 

The property was bought by 

its present owner for $375,000 in 

2012. 

Originally built as a caretaker 

home for the old orphanage, by 

1906 Cressy House was owned 

by the Ashburton and 

North Canterbury Charitable 

Aid Board, which became the 

North Canterbury Hospital 

Board in 1928. 

Four years later, the house

was rebuilt and extended and 

opened in 1933 as the Lyttelton 

Maternity Hospital. 

After the maternity hospital’s 

closure, it was rented out as a 

retirement home. 

It is being sold as is where is, 

price negotiable.

New dedication for VC winner’s plot 

• By Chris Barclay 

THE RESTORED family plot 

of Lincoln-born Sergeant Henry 

Nicholas, Canterbury’s first 

Victoria Cross recipient, will be 

rededicated on the anniversary 

of his death with co-ordinated 

ceremonies in Christchurch and 

France. 

Nicholas, who was awarded 

the highest military award for 

valour following an attack on 

a German position in Belgium 

in 1917, will be remembered on 

October 23 at his family grave in 

Bromley cemetery. 

When the same day dawns in 

Europe, flowers will be laid at 

his resting place in Vertigneul 

churchyard in northern France. 

Nicholas, who was killed three 

weeks before the armistice on 

November 11, 1918, was initially 

buried in Beaudiginies but later 

the 27-year-old’s remains were 

exhumed and reinterred among 

other war graves. 

Canterbury district Returned 

and Services Association 

president Stan Hansen said the 

ceremonies would be a fitting 

conclusion to a restoration project 

inspired by English Korea 

War veteran Ken Wright. 

The RSA and New Zealand 

Remembrance Army – a war 

grave-restoring charity – mobilised 

after Wright noticed the 

earthquake-damaged family 

plot while walking through the 

cemetery last November. 

Restoration work to right the 

toppled headstone and repaint 

lettering was carried out last 

month. 

A member of the New Zealand 

Infantry Canterbury Regiment, 

Nicholas was presented with his 

VC by King George V at Buckingham 

Palace in July, 1918. 

He subsequently returned to 

France, where he was awarded

been taken off the front lines and 

he was actually on guard duties. 

He was guarding a bridge, there 

was a German thrust and he was 

taken out,” Hansen said. 

The rededication also coincides 

with the New Zealand Infantry’s 

Corps Day, selected because 

October 23 marks the start of the 

second Battle of El Alamein in 

Egypt in 1942. 

A military presence is planned 

at Bromley, while the RSA is 

negotiating with Canterbury 

Museum to have Nicholas’ 

VC and Military Medal at the 

ceremony. 

His mother Hannah 

bequeathed the medals to the 

museum after her death in 1932. 

Hansen said the plans for the 

French ceremony were in the 

formative stages but he was confident 

the New Zealand embassy 

could provide representation. 

“It’s a fitting tribute to 

someone who we haven’t 

forgotten and someone whose 

heroic deeds forged a way for 

New Zealand to be the country it 

is,” Hansen said.

National Identity 

Confessions of an outsider by Simon Bridges 

An open, honest and at times intensely personal memoir about race, fatherhood, 

marriage, masculinity, fitting in, and the things that shape our national character. 

Simon Bridges grew up as the son of a working-class Baptist preacher in Te 

Atatu, as the youngest of six children. In many ways he had a typical Kiwi 

upbringing, at a time when having little didn’t seem to matter much. Yet 

for Bridges, his was the life of an outsider: experiencing otherness for 

being Maori, and yet an otherness from other Maori; a Westie with 

a thick accent, trying to break into the upper reaches of society; 

distanced from his father, an ageing man in his own world. As 

a young politician, Bridges soon came to realise he was an 

introvert in an extrovert’s world, and a male leader who has 

never identified with New Zealand’s idealised version of the 

strong, laconic, rugby-loving man. 

In National Identity, Bridges offers an attempt to question himself 

and the country he loves. Politics, crime, kai, music, nature: these 

are the stuff of a life. Through candid and self-aware reflections, he 

points out that politicians have become less robust, and that people 

don’t participate as much anymore - eroding our institutions and national life. 

He speaks his mind on an education system in crisis, the decline of Christianity, 

and how being the smallest, most isolated developed country in the world 

explains why we are how we are. 

Authentic, brilliant, humorous and poignant, National Identity is a must-read 

New Zealand memoir. 

The Girl Behind The Wall 

by Mandy Robotham 

From the USA Today and internationally bestselling WWII novelist of The German 

Midwife, The Secret Messenger and The Berlin Girl comes a story set at the dawn 

of the Cold War in Berlin. A city divided. When the Berlin Wall goes up, Karin is on 

the wrong side of the city. Overnight, she’s trapped under Soviet rule in unforgiving 

East Berlin and separated from her twin sister, Jutta. Two sisters torn apart. 

Karin and Jutta lead parallel lives for years, cut off by the Wall. But Karin finds 

one reason to keep going: Otto, the man who gives her hope, even amidst the 

brutal East German regime. 

One impossible choice… 

When Jutta finds a hidden way through the wall, the twins are reunited. But the 

Stasi have eyes everywhere, and soon Karin is faced with a terrible decision: to 

flee to the West and be with her sister, or sacrifice it all to follow her heart? 

A timely reminder that, even in darkness, love will always guide you home, this 

gripping and emotional tale is perfect for fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz by 

Heather Morris and The Last Correspondent by Soraya M. Lane.

CENTRAL CITY department 

store Ballantynes is again running 

its Bring it to the Boardroom 

competition, offering 

budding designers and entrepreneurs 

the opportunity to submit 

their products and potentially 

have them sold in the store. 

Finalists will be selected from 

the entries and in early September 

will provide a presentation 

to Ballantynes’ buyers and 

executive team, who say they 

will be looking for items that are 

innovative and have that “special 

Kiwi flair”. 

The winner receives the rights 

to sell their product exclusively 

at Ballantynes for up to 

12 months or while stocks last, 

retaining 100 per cent of the 

product’s sales revenue. Additionally, 

the winner will benefit 

from expert mentoring and a 

promotional package. 

The competition was launched 

in 2016, to run every second 

year. However, due to Covid, last 

year’s competition was postponed 

until 2021. 

“This is our third time doing 

Bring it to the Boardroom 

and we are really happy to have 

this back on our calendar. For 

us, this is about giving back to 

our community,” says chief executive 

Maria O’Halloran. 

“We want to open up an 

avenue for those entrepreneurs, 

budding designers and creators 

from across the country to 

showcase their work and along 

the way, gain an insight into the 

whole retail process. We’re so 

excited to see what unfolds.” 

Marketing manager Shelley 

Gayford says the previous 

competitions have seen a diverse 

range of products being put 

forward, including children’s 

items, fashion accessories and 

pantry items. 

Winners of the 2016 edition of 

Bring it to the Boardroom were 

Lianne de Jong and Lee Scheepers 

from Marlee and Jo, who 

presented a range of children’s 

keepsake books, which are still 

being sold at Ballantynes. 

“We started selling the Marlee 

and Jo product just after they 

won the Ballantynes Bring it to 

the Boardroom competition back 

in 2016,” Ms O’Halloran says. 

“To this day, their product 

continues to be very popular 

with our customers – they offer 

a product with a real point of 

difference and something no 

other supplier offers in our store. 

It is great to support local and we 

have loved watching, and being a 

part of, Lee and Lianne’s successful 

journey.“ 

Anyone can register their 

interest online, www.ballantynes. 

com.nz/boardroom, providing 

the product they are submitting 

is not currently being sold in a 

physical store, is not already in 

commercial arrangements with 

another company and does not 

infringe on the copyright, patent 

or trademark of another product 

or brand. 

Registrations close on Monday, 

August 23, 2021, with the 

finalists taking their products to 

the Ballantynes’ boardroom on

All in favour, say aye 

Treasures from 

the past 

DEMOLISHED: The former Godley House was a popular meeting place. 

Readers respond to 

last week’s article that 

licensed premises maybe 

able to return to the 

former Godley House site 

in Diamond Harbour 

The Godley House site should be 

able to have a licensed activity 

there. 

It will bring the community 

together on this historic site, it 

will encourage visitors to come 

to Diamond Harbour, therefore 

increasing visitation to Stoddard 

[Cottage] and use of the new 

supermarket, and increasing 

the activity and vibrancy of our 

beautiful Diamond Habour. It 

will also increase the visitors on 

the ferry, which will be excellent. 

Hopefully there will be a 

building there architecturally 

designed to enhance the beauty 

of the place and honour the 

history that was lost in the 

earthquake. 

–Thomas Proctor 

I absolutely think there should 

be a licensed venue in place of 

Godley House. We have lived in 

the bays area for over 20 years 

and the best place to meet the 

community was always Godley 

House. 

There were always many 

visitors that came across on the 

ferry every weekend who enjoyed 

the scenery and hospitality 

as much as the locals. We made 

many of our long-term friends 

from meeting in this lovely 

space, which also showcased 

the area when it was used as a 

wedding venue as well. 

–Karen Boswell 

There is no question whether 

it should be a licensed premises 

in the venue-to-be on the old 

Godley House site. It absolutely 

must be licensed. 

–Ross Denton 

My wife and I moved to 

Diamond Harbour after visiting 

on the ferry. A lovely journey, a 

gentle walk up through the trees, 

and then a beer and food outside 

Godley House while watching 

the ships and Lyttelton activity. 

Now a ferry load of tourists 

can sit or queue by the road, 

without any views, while waiting 

for their food. 

What we have now is very 

much a cafe in its size, capacity, 

and location. While it tries its 

hardest to accommodate, it is 

what it is. When we had two 

venues both were often full . . . 

there is plenty of custom to go 

around (and more). 

–Mark Simon 

Since the earthquakes put paid 

to Godley House the community 

has become very disjointed. After 

the quakes we had nowhere 

to meet and heal as a community. 

It was only because the rugby 

club stepped in that we actually 

started to come together again 

and there were a few that fell by 

the wayside. 

We have already started to 

show that the community can 

start healing with the ‘Live at the 

Point’ music that happens for a 

few months at the beginning of 

the year, but there is nowhere 

else big enough for that to 

continue throughout the year 

and nowhere else [where] we as 

a community can come together 

and enjoy each other’s company 

over a drink to heal. 

Since we lost the Dark Star 

we have only one very small 

licensed bar that is very nice and 

does some of the task admirably, 

although it is too small to allow 

for music and larger gatherings. 

I hope that enough of us can 

get together to show the council 

We want to hear your views 

on issues in the 

Bay Harbour News area 

Send emails to: 

barry@starmedia.kiwi 

PHOTO: ODT 

that Godley House needs to be 

replaced to allow us all to enjoy 

it in it’s full capacity. 

–Jules Holdstock 

Please consider this amazing 

venue spot and how it was for 

our community before and [how 

we were] promised something all 

those years ago and still nothing. 

This place is a haven for 

weekend gatherings, for people 

to leave the madhouse of 

Christchurch, [for a] music 

venue with licenced venue like it 

was before. 

–Paru Clarke 

We would like to support a licensed 

venue for Godley House. 

My husband and I are residents 

of Diamond Harbour and would 

like to have a relaxing venue 

with seating on the grass. It 

would be patronised more (particularly 

by us) if it was licenced. 

–Claire Taylor 

We are new holiday residents to 

Diamond Harbour and we love 

the idea of a pub or bar in the 

Godley Reserve area. It’s a short 

and beautiful ferry ride over from 

Lyttelton and then people need 

somewhere easy to walk after that 

hill climb! The cafe in that vicinity 

is not particularly good and 

doesn’t cope well with crowds. 

And the new block of shops near 

the 4 Square is unattractive with 

no view and is too far away. We 

hope you can continue to raise the 

profile of this story to encourage 

conversation.

REFIT: The Napier dredge Whakarire in dry dock (above) and 

getting a new boiler fitted, 1950-2000. 

PHOTOS: Te Ūaka The Lyttelton Museum online collection 

LYTTELTON’S dry dock (or 

graving dock) has been an 

essential backbone to New 

Zealand shipping since it opened 

with great ceremony in January 

1883. 

Owned by the Lyttelton Port 

Company, it is a registered 

Category 1 historic place and is 

still a working site. You may have 

seen the steam tug Lyttelton in 

its steady embrace recently for its 

annual survey. 

“The dock was used to repair 

and maintain Scott’s Discovery 

and Terra Nova in the early 

years of this century, and as such 

serves as a reminder of Lyttelton’s 

significant link with Antarctica 

from the earliest days of polar 

exploration. Although many 

modern ships are too large to fit 

into the graving dock today, it 

continues to serve an important 

function within the port.” 

(Heritage New Zealand) 

Another vessel to use the 

dry dock in the late 1950s was 

the twin-screw steam dredge 

Whakarire. Built in Scotland 

in 1903, the dredge initially 

worked on land reclamation in 

Wellington, and then worked 

for many years in Napier to 

deepen that harbour. It was 

commissioned by the Royal 

New Zealand Navy as a boom 

defence vessel in Auckland 

Harbour for two years during 

World War 2. 

The Whakarire had major refits 

in Lyttelton in 1958 and 1960. In 

these images from the late 1950s, 

a new boiler for the dredge was 

unloaded and then craned into 

place in the vessel in dry dock. 

The Whakarire was finally 

retired in 1973, although the 

Auckland Harbour Board saved 

the driving wheels, which are still 

on display at Wynyard Wharf 

in Auckland.

NEWS 13 

Professor reaches beyond the stars 

Jenni Adams has never 

been to Antarctica but 

her work, remotely, 

with a giant detector 

buried under the ice 

at the South Pole, has 

enabled the Oxford 

University graduate 

to become the first 

female winner of a New 

Zealand physics award. 

The Christchurch-based 

theoretical physicist 

puts her career under 

the microscope with 

Chris Barclay 

You were at Kaiapoi High 

School when you decided to 

reach for the stars, do you still 

have your first telescope? 

I didn’t have a telescope but I 

did a lot of reading about beyond 

just the stars we can see, this 

whole idea of the universe and 

cosmology. It was good growing 

up in the country and actually 

being able to see stars and the 

Milky Way. I wanted to be an 

astronaut when I was younger, 

around the fifth form. It was 

the exploration, discovering 

and frontiers (that appealed). I 

thought about joining the air 

force, that’s where you go to be 

an astronaut. Then I realised 

astronauts didn’t do the actual 

discovering and they are kind 

of limited to the solar system. I 

wanted to go beyond our solar 

system into galaxies and the 

universe. 

Did you have a teachers that 

navigated you to this career 

path? 

My father (Jim) was my maths 

teacher and I had another maths 

teacher – Graham Moore. They 

gave me the confidence to do 

anything mathematical. Physics 

and chemistry rely on logic 

and confidence. They built the 

foundation I needed. 

After the old 7th form it was 

straight to the lecture halls at 

Canterbury University wasn’t 

it? 

I enrolled in an astronomy 

degree. I was interested that 

people were trying to figure out 

how things worked with the 

universe. I thought I’d take it as 

far as I could. 

Mission accomplished then. 

You were made a Professor of 

Physics last year November. 

Your students can’t all be 

experts in Astroparticle 

physics and cosmology so 

does mastering this branch of 

science set you up for success in 

other spheres? 

I was doing a PHd (in 

theoretical/particle physics) at 

Oxford and three or four of the 

students I was with went into 

investment banking because our 

modelling skills could be applied 

to financial markets, derivatives 

or whatever. They could (make 

decisions) very quickly on the 

floor if necessary. Professor 

Shaun Hendy is the Covid-19 

modeller shaping New Zealand’s

sensor once used in the multi-national IceCube research project in Antarctica. 

response, he’s a physicist. 

Modelling how a virus infects 

populations is really similar do 

the sorts of modelling we do. 

You were awarded a Rhodes 

Scholarship which took you to 

Oxford University from 1992 

to the end of 1995. How was life 

in Magdalen College, where the 

alumni includes Oscar Wilde, 

Dudley Moore, and King 

Edward VIII? 

The theoretical physics 

department was a converted 

terrace house, we had the lounge 

room. There were six of us. 

We were from Russia, Canada, 

Australia and there were a 

couple of Brits. To be honest, 

I think we give more support 

to our graduate students. 

Academics there are often very 

busy, and they kind of expect 

their students to be good and 

be able to look after themselves. 

If you aren’t you really struggle 

there but I’d always encourage 

students to try and get to Oxford. 

You meet the people from other 

countries and have the access to 

speakers that come through. We 

had Nelson Mandela talk there 

once. 

Did you ever investigate how 

the laws of physics applied to 

the Boat Race with Cambridge? 

I actually rowed for Magdalen. 

Almost everyone is expected 

to have a go at rowing. All the 

colleges have boat sheds that any 

club here would envy. I knew 

a bit about rowing, I’d been a 

coxswain for school and club 

crews on Kerrs Reach. 

So you obviously kept an eye 

on the rowing in Tokyo, and the 

Black Sticks 

I play hockey for Hinemoa 

Kaiapoi, I started when I was 

seven. I’ve played for a midweek 

open team for about 10 years. 

It’s great, it’s the people I went 

to school with. I also coach my 

youngest daughter’s school and 

club team. 

You did some post-doc (PHd) 

research on cosmology at the 

University of Uppsala north of 

Stockholm, which dovetailed 

with your prime sporting 

passion, what they call ‘cunning 

running’ 

I love orienteering (running 

point to point using a map and 

compass). Once I finished my 

PHd I went to Sweden (from 

POLAR DISCOVERY: The IceCube observatory at the South 

Pole in Antarctica is the focal point of a decade-long 

project to unearth the mysteries of the universe.

1996 to mid-1998). You don’t 

play hockey in Sweden unless 

you can skate but it’s mecca for 

orienteering. There’s beautiful 

forests there that are very 

runnable, it’s perfect orienteering 

terrain. 

I’m no astronomy expert 

but I’ve heard of the Northern 

Lights. No doubt you saw them 

in Sweden? 

I have seen Aurora. That’s 

kind of related to what I study 

because it’s cosmic rays. They are 

high energy particles. The sun 

produces high energy particles 

and they’re channelled in by the 

magnetic fields near the (North 

and South) poles. The glow you 

see is them interacting in our 

atmosphere. 

During your time in 

Scandinavia you were offered 

an opportunity to return home 

and lecture at what was then 

the University of Canterbury’s 

Department of Physics and 

Astronomy (now the School of 

Physical Sciences). 

I would have liked to have 

stayed longer in Sweden but 

academic jobs are hard to get. I 

wasn’t saying no to it. 

What was it like lecturing 

engineering students – they must 

do physics – when you started 

out. Their shenanigans might not 

rival Otago during orientation 

week, but that student body does 

have a reputation. 

I was 28 when I started 

lecturing and many of the 

students were 19-20 so I wasn’t 

that much older than them. I 

taught first-year physics which is 

basically engineering students. 

There were predominately male 

classes of 300-400 . . . if they 

turned up. They could be a bit 

slack, or hungover. I was telling 

someone the other day, they’d 

do these lecturer evaluations 

and they’d write: ‘Wear shorter 

skirts’. But I held my own. It 

didn’t stop me going out there 

and lecturing, I didn’t cry about 

it but I was just like: ‘Those rude 

%@*#!’ There were a few swear 

words. Thankfully there are 

more women in there nowadays. 

You were the first female 

winner of the Dan Walls Medal 

last month. It’s a New Zealand 

Institute of Physics accolade 

honouring the influential 

New Zealand physicist who 

died of cancer in 1999. It was 

introduced in 2008 when you 

were president of the NZIP, so 

have you figuratively broken the 

glass ceiling? 

When I accepted the award 

people asked me about being a 

woman in physics. I have really 

supportive colleagues. One of 

the guys wrote the nomination 

for me. He knew I wasn’t going 

to make the time to do it. When 

I’d bring my little daughter 

in and be breastfeeding in my 

office there was no ‘tut tutting’. I 

never thought I’d ever get it (the 

medal). The idea was to celebrate 

physics down in New Zealand 

because there is this sort of 

‘overseas expert’ mentality. We’ll 

ask the overseas expert whereas 

we’re doing equally good work as 

the overseas expert. 

What are you teaching now, 

in the aptly named Ernest 

Rutherford Building? 

Right now I’m doing the 

Special Relativity course. It’s a 

great subject to teach because 

they really want to get their head 

around time and distance being 

relative, so they do ask a lot of 

questions.

Unravelling the mysteries of the universe 

• From page 13 

Perusing your resume, you 

obviously have a particular 

interest in Astroparticle 

physics. Which is? 

It involves research at the 

interface of astronomy and 

particle physics. It is a synergy 

which operates in both directions 

– particle physics is applied to 

better understand astrophysical 

objects as well as using the 

universe as a laboratory for highenergy 

physics. 

You’ve spent decades studying 

Astroparticle physics, the 

cosmos, black holes. Where has 

that work been put to good use 

in our mundane, everyday lives? 

You can’t have any kinds of 

music playing without lasers, 

there’s lasers in medical physics 

. . . lasers scan groceries at your 

supermarket 

checkout. 

They’re 

everywhere 

and they were 

a quantum 

phenomena 

that someone 

Albert 

Einstein 

(American 

physicist 

Charles 

H Townes) was trying to 

understand. If you limit yourself 

you never make those huge 

jumps. The understandings 

Einstein brought meant we can 

have GPS. You shouldn’t be 

limited to the phenomenon you 

understand. 

You meet someone for the 

first time in a social setting. 

What’s the reaction when 

you say: ‘Oh, I’m a professor 

specialising in Astroparticle 

physics? 

They’d usually say: ‘Oh, I 

wasn’t very good at maths’ and 

that was the end of it. So I used 

to say I was a teacher, then after 

a while I thought I’d just bite 

the bullet. If you say astronomy 

people are usually more 

interested. 

Apparently you can drop 

‘neutrinos’ into casual 

conversation and eyes don’t 

necessarily glaze over? 

You hear about how Americans 

are ignorant so travelling there 

you’d think they have no idea 

if I say: ‘I’ve been studying 

neutrinos’. But sometimes they’ll 

say: ‘Yeah, I’ve read about them, 

the solar neutrino problem’. 

These are people you meet in 

a hostel, they’re not physicists. 

In New Zealand that just won’t 

happen. 

So, neutrinos, bring us up to 

speed then. 

A neutrino is a particle, it’s 

one of the so-called fundamental 

particles. Neutrinos are members 

of the most famous fundamental 

particle, the electron. They’re the 

most abundant massive particle 

in the universe, there are about 

15 million neutrinos from the Big 

Bang in the average room. They 


could be the reason that matter 

exists in the universe. They were 

discovered in 1956 and tricky to 

study. 

Let’s imagine we’re back 

in 3rd form and someone has 

their hand up: ‘Miss, why do 

I need to know about 

neutrinos?’ 

You can live your life perfectly 

well without knowing about 

neutrinos. Why I want to know 

about neutrinos is so I can 

study the high energy objects 

in the universe. By studying 

those maybe we’ll learn some 

new physics that might well 

mean your life is completely 

different than it was. We’re 

not researching so we’ll make 

something that’ll grow your 

hair back or whatever. It hasn’t 

got a use like that, or a medical 

use but it is going to improve 

our understanding of some 

phenomena out in the universe.

Neutrinos are the focus of 

a US-led project based at the 

$US279 million ‘IceCube’ at the 

Amundsen-Scott South Pole 

Station. For most of it’s the 

stage name of rapper O’Shea 

Jackson Sr. What is actually 

going down in Antarctica? 

IceCube is an observatory 

dedicated to finding neutrinos 

with a 1km telescope under the 

ice. The neutrinos we collect 

are like fingerprints that help 

us understand the objects and 

phenomena where the neutrinos 

are produced. IceCube gives us 

new ways to study the mysteries of 

our universe, it is likely to uncover 

or lead to the discovery of things 

we could have anticipated. 

Your work on IceCube, 

alongside experts among 53 

institutions from 12 countries 

formed the bedrock of your 

award didn’t it? 

It was quite nice to be 

NEWS 15 

acknowledged because 

sometimes people in 

collaborations don’t get 

acknowledged as individuals. 

When you close your eyes 

do you see stars? How do you 

switch off? 

I run most nights because it 

helps me sleep better. We live 

near the hills (in Beckenham) so 

I run up the Bowenvale Valley 

track. 

Serious question – Star Wars 

or Star Trek? 

Probably Star Trek, it was more 

exploration based. I didn’t like 

the fighting stuff in Star Wars. 

Has The Big Bang Theory 

sitcom boosted the image of your 

average theoretical physicist? 

I think it’s funny, I think 

Sheldon makes physics a little bit 

cool doesn’t he? It makes it cool 

to be geeky. 

Thanks for bringing up the 

‘nerdy’ stereotype. It is an 

occupational hazard for the 

scientific community isn’t it? 

Definitely they’re known as 

geeky but I feel it’s a bit more 

accepted these days. I always say 

to my (eldest) daughter Kaia: 

‘Celebrate your geekiness.’ By 

the time you get to university it’s 

much easier. The kids walking 

around here are much less into 

that ‘popular kids’ mode you 

get at school where they’ve got 

their hair right and all that. They 

look much freer and able to be 

themselves here.

New identity looms for Kia Carnival 

IN THE YEARS I’ve been writing 

about automobiles, only on 

very rare occasions has a badge 

changed. Most car makers are 

very keen to keep their brand 

identity intact and protect their 

image even if the design is many 

years old. 

It came as some surprise then 

that Kia is in the process of 

changing its logo, the new design 

is more stylised and abstract 

than before and is certainly a 

departure from the original 

and it is now a genuine point of 

difference. 

So, take a good look, is this 

Carnival the last Kia I drive with 

the old badge? I don’t know, 

but what I do know is that even 

though it is about to get a new 

point of identity, it still shares 

the concept that it has made it a 

people mover of choice for many 

families and service providers. 

The Carnival multi-purpose 

vehicle has been around for 

many years, it has been a popular 

seven or eight-seater and the new 

model hasn’t lost sight of that 

original concept, it is versatile and 

practical, yet it also has dynamics 

which often disguise its bulk and 

concept. 

The Carnival arrives here 

with a 2.2-litre four-cylinder 

turbocharged R-series diesel 

engine that has earned itself a 

healthy reputation for power 

and economy in other Kia and 

Hyundai models. The old V6 

petrol engine that has given 

faithful service throughout the 

Carnival’s life is not available in 

New Zealand now, diesel is all 

you can get. However, to me that’s 

a good thing, the R-series unit is 

an absolute cracker, it is strong 

and silent. 

There are three specification 

levels in Carnival – EX, Deluxe 

and Premium. The range starts 

at $59,990 and ends at $74,990 

for the Premium as tested, 

in-between the Deluxe sits at 

$69,990. 

In terms of figures, the twincamshaft, 

16-valve diesel has 

148kW and 440Nm power output 

to consider, it is rated with a 

6.5-litre per 100km combined 

cycle fuel usage rating and it 

accelerates to 100km/h in 8.8sec. 

These are impressive figures 

considering the Carnival weighs 

in bulky at just over two-tonne. 

Drive is channelled through an 

eight-speed automatic gearbox 

through to the front wheels. 

Yes, the Carnival is two-wheeldrive 

only, and that is one of the 

reasons why it can’t be considered 

a sport utility vehicle. Therein lies 

further appeal, many SUVs don’t 

get used to their full potential. If 

you do have a need to transport 

several occupants frequently, 

then the Carnival will do that in 

comfort and style, making full 

use of its design role. 

BOLD: Black wheels on the Premium model give the 

Carnival a sporty look. 

KIA CARNIVAL PREMIUM: Versatile eight-seater with adaptable seating configurations. 

IDENTITY: Out with the old and in with the new - Kia’s 

logo going forward (right). 

It is also extremely practical, 

the seating configurations are 

many-fold, the centre row is 

adaptable for easy access to the 

rear, and the rear seats also fold 

down deep into a cargo area for 

increased interior load space. 

Not only does the Carnival 

have on-board versatility, access 

is also easy with automatic sliding 

doors on each side, and a high-lift 

rear tailgate. 

At the other end, the R-Series 

diesel is a tireless worker, it 

develops all of its power low in 

the rev range at 3800rpm, and 

if you take into account that the 

area of peak torque lists from 

1750rpm to 2750rpm, you don’t 

need to constantly work the 

engine, it is happy slugging it out 

at low revs. 

Power through the 

transmission is well harnessed. 

Shifts are quick and smooth, 

while the ratios are structured 

for that healthy acceleration time 

and the ability to sip fuel gently 

at open road speed – 6l/100km at 

100km/h with the engine turning 

over slowly at just 1650rpm. The 

driver can also choose an active 

economical driving mode that 

eases the load on the engine for 

fuel efficiency gains. Take into 

account as well the Carnival’s 

72-litre fuel tank, long distances 

can be travelled before fill-ups are 

necessary. 

In Premium specification, the 

Carnival is fully loaded with 

kit, much of it new-generation 

equipment. There’s also a healthy 

level of safety kit, both passive 

and active. 

Features for convenience and 

comfort include full leather trim, 

satellite navigation, triple-zone 

climate control, electric seat 

adjustment (also heated and 

cooled up front), heated steering 

wheel and reversing camera. All 

of these features are included 

in an ultra-modern interior 

that relies heavily on operation 

through the central dash touch 

screen command centre. 

I took the test car on my 

normal inland route – State 

Highway 72 – the scenic route 

through to Glenroy. At both low 

and cruising speeds, the Carnival 

has quiet motion and a beautiful 

ride, the front-strut and multiplelink 

rear suspension has soft 

spring and damper rates and, as 

such, they absorb ruts and bumps 

well. That along with the strongly 

bolstered seat cushioning means 

the ride is more than plush. 

• Price – Kia Carnival 

Premium, $74,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

5155mm; width, 1995mm; 

height, 1775mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

front-wheeldrive, 

2151cc, 148kW, 

440Nm, eight-speed 

automatic 

• Performance – 0-100km/h, 

8.8sec 

• Fuel usage – 6.5l/100km 

There is a little trade-off when 

it comes time to tackle our 

country’s tight and twisty corners. 

The Carnival is large, which 

means there is a lot of vehicle to 

get around a corner in the first 

instance. The body leans over 

the suspension thanks to its tall 

centre of gravity; however, the 

weight transfer is gradual and 

doesn’t affect vehicle balance. 

There aren’t a lot of vehicles of 

this type new in the New Zealand 

market, and to be fair, demand is 

spasmodic. 

However, Kia has stuck with 

the Carnival, and for those who 

do travel as a group it is the 

perfect choice and one that will 

gain recognition with a wide 

cross-section of the community. 

Kia has styled the Carnival so 

that it will appeal with its shape, 

it has attitude, disguising well 

the van-like look that has often 

accompanied multi-purpose 

vehicles and people movers.

Auction (unless sold prior) 12pm, Thu 9 Sep 2021 

4 Bedrooms / 5 Living / 4 Bathrooms / 4 Car Garaging / Listing: bayleys.co.nz/5513617 

Open homes: Sun/Wed 2-3pm & Thu 6-7pm 

A substantial home that can 

accommodate everyone and everything 

with its multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, 

living rooms, studio rooms, garaging 

for 4 cars, workshop and huge off-street 

parking area. All set on 1820 m 2 – on 2 

titles. 

Offering the perfect partnership of 

luxury and location; this four bedroom 

520m 2 residence enjoys an elevated 

situation with outstanding 180-degree 

uninterrupted views. 

Modern minimalism and refinement 

create clean lines enhanced by natural 

light and neutral colours. 

There are bedrooms on every level 

with the main upstairs with a luxurious 

ensuite, walk in wardrobe, private 

sun room and three balconies. 

Fabulous for entertaining 

with a well-appointed new 

kitchen, a number of generously 

proportioned living and dining 

areas, decks and outdoor 

sheltered spaces that all enjoy the day and 

night views. The heated salt-water pool is 

an alfresco highlight to enjoy. 

An expansive office provides a peaceful 

retreat for those who work from home, 

and a sizeable lower-level studio offers 

versatility and would be well-suited as a 

gym, media room or games room. 

Secure parking is provided by garaging 

for at least four cars, plus a workshop, and 

abundant off-street space perfect for any 

additional vehicles, boats and caravans. 

The owners have moved to their new 

home dictating that 27 Assisi Street must
