Massive
effort to
get meals
to those
in need
• By Samantha Mythen
VOLUNTEERS ARE working
through lockdown to get meals
to people in need around the
harbour basin.
Lyttelton Community House,
which is operating as an essential
service, is delivering its normal
20-30 meals a week.
Community house social
worker Claire Coveney, who has
worked with the organisation for
two years, said it was “a massive
community team effort.”
The service began after the
earthquakes, which resulted in
the community house bringing in
a commercial kitchen.
Coveney said most of the people
they help are those who are older,
have disabilities or have health
issues. The meals cost $8.50.
“They may have difficulties
cooking or food shopping, or they
need legitimate rest or have been
unwell in hospital,” she said.
The organisation helps people
with both short and long-term
issues, for however long they
need, Coveney said.

WE WOULD all rather do
without lockdowns – or would
we?
Our photographer Geoff
Sloan has been out and about
across Christchurch during
lockdown getting shots of
people walking their dogs and
doing all the things we did last
year during lockdown.
He was in the Bay Harbour
News area yesterday photographing
people and their
pooches. Like last year everyone
seems happy, he said.
The impending arrival of
spring almost certainly has
much to do with the upbeat
mood. The canines aren’t complaining
either.
On another note, great to
see the Lyttelton Community
House delivering meals to
those who need a bit of a helping
hand.
The community house does
fantastic work.

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
• By Samantha Mythen
A HOTEL worker is facing
deportation after documentation
on her essential skills work visa
application was found to be
bogus.
Argentinian Zaira Valls who
is head chef at the Ōtoromiro
Hotel in Governors Bay was
scheduled to leave New Zealand
last week, but the flight was cancelled
because of the lockdown.
Valls, 27, has lived in New
Zealand for nearly four years,
and has worked at the Ōtoromiro
Hotel for the past two
and a half years.
But Immigration New Zealand
found a reference letter for
her essential skills work visa
application was fake.
To be eligible for the work
visa, a person must be offered a
full-time job for which no other
New Zealanders are available,
and they must have the necessary
qualifications and work
experience.
A person must have three
years of work experience if they
do not have a qualification.
Chefs are currently in demand.
For her visa application, Valls
told Bay Harbour News she had
submitted a reference letter
written by a friend, which said
she had worked as a chef for a
year in Argentina, to make up
Deception costs chef her job
NEWS 3
In Brief
DEPORTATION: Argentinian Zaira Valls will be deported
after documentation on her visa application was found to
be bogus.
the three years of experience
needed.
Valls said it was a “stupid mistake,”
which she now regretted.
Valls said she had heard
of many examples of people
submitting forged documents to
meet visa conditions.
“I was so stupid to think this
could work. I have realised
how silly I was thinking that
my friends give good advice on
this,” she said.
Immigration New Zealand
issued Valls with a deportation
notice on June 22 on the
grounds “false or misleading
information” had been provided.
INZ general manager verification
and compliance Geoff
Scott said applicants must make
truthful declarations on their
applications.
He said it should not be
“viewed as a mistake given how
important providing honest and
truthful information is in relation
to immigration matters.”
Valls employers, Jeremy and
Clare Dyer say the decision to
deport her is “inhumane.”
“I liken Zaira’s error to
stealing a loaf of bread from the
East End in the 1800s and then
deporting them to the colonies,”
said Jeremy.
“In Zaira’s case, she’s being
sent back to Argentina, which is
being ravaged by Covid-19, it’s
not safe for her.”
Argentina has more than five
million reported Covid-19 cases.
Valls does not want to leave,
with her boyfriend and many
friends here.
“I feel safe here, my life is here.
I work so hard at my job and I
feel really at home here. It is so
awful to have to leave.”
What has made it all worse, is
the stress she has felt in trying to
organise her departure.
“There are not many options
at all,” said Valls.
“A single flight is looking to
cost $11,000, which is such a lot
of money.”
DRIVERS TURNED BACK
Sightseers on their way to
Akaroa for the weekend were
stopped and turned around
by police. Police said “six or
seven” vehicles were stopped
by officers during a 50min
blitz at Tai Tapu on Saturday
afternoon. The occupants were
told to turn around and go back
to their bubbles. About half of
the vehicles had been travelling
from Christchurch and half from
the Selwyn district, said Senior
Sergeant Dean Harker. They
could not give a justifiable reason
for going to Akaroa, he said. “You
can’t just decide you are going to
do some sightseeing somewhere
and drive outside of your area,”
Harker said.

“We cater to vegetarians,

Coveney said.
Community House works
with the Black Cat Cruises ferry
to deliver meals to Diamond

“It’s a big task for our Diamond

“The volunteers must be fit

She also said she admired the
Lyttelton volunteers for having

“Our work is important as
it means families know their

“It provides good social

OUR PEOPLE – ALEX HALLATT
From comics to the real world of
Cocooned in a studio
perched on one
of Lyttelton’s hills,
at a desk under a
window looking out
over the harbour, is
writer, cartoonist and
environmentalist Alex
Hallatt. She talks to
Samantha Mythen
How did you land this triad
of roles; writer, cartoonist and
environmentalist?
I’ve been cartooning
since I was a kid, and I’ve
been concerned about the
environment since the lights
first went off in England during
the oil crisis in the 1970s. Back
then we thought that was going
to be the biggest problem, that
and nuclear war. Little did
we know. I’ve always been a
cartoon hobbyist but I actually
love science, so I got a degree in
biochemistry then worked in
the pharmaceutical industry for
seven years. After that, I had a bit
of a breakdown and I had no idea
what else I could do except draw
cartoons. My Kiwi boyfriend
at the time and I moved down
to the south coast of England
and I got a job with the Brighton
Argus, which probably has a
similar circulation to the Bay

Harbour News. I became their
editorial cartoonist. That was in
1999 and I’ve been a full-time,
professional cartoonist ever
since.
So you grew up in England,
then found yourself here?
I grew up in Dorset, in the
hilly, countryside. I don’t think
I could live on the flat. You can’t
see as far on the flat and I think
that’s metaphorical as much as
literal. I love Banks Peninsula. I
feel connected to the peninsula,
the green, the lushness, the
views. All the best ideas are up in
the Port Hills. My mantra to my
partner is ‘hills not pills.’ If you
live somewhere like Lyttelton
and you don’t drive everywhere,
then exercise is automatically
part of your day.
I’d been thinking about New
Zealand since 1977, because
that year, I was seven and my
dad tried to get a job here as
a lawyer. But they didn’t want
him, there were already too
many lawyers. So, New Zealand
has been in my consciousness
since then. I was intrigued by it.
When I got my first proper job
in the pharmaceutical company,
I saved up for a couple of years
and I came out as a backpacker
in 1996. I was 26 then and it blew
my mind.
I spent some time in Australia
after that and then went back
to the United Kingdom. I am a
ping-pong pom. In 2003, I went
back to New Zealand to live. As
soon as I came into Lyttelton, I
thought “Oh wow, this is it. This
is the place.”
Initially, I couldn’t find
anywhere to live, but I got a
studio at number 6 and then I
ended up meeting my partner.
He was in the flat below my
studio and we were daytime
neighbours. He told me when
I’d left my lights on driving
through the tunnel. We’ve been
mostly together and here since
then.
Knowing how difficult things
are going to be in the future for
everybody, I think being part
of a good, strong, resilient and
connected community is so
important. Lyttelton was the
community we wanted to be in.
How did you become a
freelance cartoonist?
I am really a writer first and I
enjoyed writing stories as a kid.
But drawing cartoons gets you
the attention. Making other kids
laugh in class, I did like that.
Then the other thing, I loved
reading comics when I was a kid.

looking after the environment
So, I think I was about sixyears-old
when someone gave
me an old copy of a Peanuts
collection, and I went: ‘Oh
my god, this is a world of kids
without grown-ups and I love
this.’ You could just create this
whole world. A picture tells a
thousand worlds, but actually,
you get the point across better if
you have some worlds as well. It’s
a great way to communicate.
In 2006, I was syndicated. In
the United States of America,
comics are a lot bigger than here
and so things like Peanuts, and
Garfield and Far Side, they get
syndicated, which means one
company sells them to lots of
newspapers all over the world.
That, as a cartoonist at the
time, was like winning the
lottery. Back then, a syndicate
got 3000 submissions a year and
launched three comics. Now,
they launch maybe one comic a
year. Because newspapers, you
know what’s happening. So it was
a big deal. I got in and I’m still
syndicated. It is a dual challenge
of newspapers being in decline
in the US and newspapers in the
US tend to be read by people who
are not that progressive when it
comes to environmental issues
and my syndicated comic Arctic
Circle has an environmental
theme.
Arctic Circle is a daily comic,
running seven days a week,
which appears in about 40
newspapers, mainly in the US
and Canada.
It has been really rewarding
because I am living the dream. It
was my childhood dream to be a
syndicated artist. So that comic
takes up half my time.
I’ve been moving into writing
and illustrating my own books. I
self-publish, which has been an
incredible learning process. I’m
currently trying to write a novel.
When did you write your first
book and what was that about?
I wrote my first book when I
was 13. It was called Soggy the
Dinosaur. I’ve been illustrating
books for other publishers, with
cartoons, for a while though. My
first one The More I see of Men,
the More I Love my Dog, was
in 2002. My first self-published
book was Hoover the Hungry Dog
in 2014. I primarily create kids
books and humour books.
Where do you get your
inspiration for your content?
It depends, things come to me
all the time. For the books about
bullying, it was because I was
bullied as a kid. I had a really
happy home life but when I was
at school, I had no friends. I was
bullied psychologically, I was

teased. It wasn’t until we moved
and I met my friends who were
geek likes me. I felt really, really
alone before that. My parents
were wonderful but they didn’t
know what to do, and I thought,
“I want to write the books I
would’ve liked to have read as a
kid.”
So I did. I get amazing
feedback from kids. One boy
said: ‘I love this book, I just wish
it was real.’
In 2008, I spent two years in
Basque, Spain with Duncan
(my partner). I am not good at
languages so I really wanted to
learn. I had been talking to some
friends about the bullying books
and they thought they would
be perfect in Basque. A Basque
publisher then picked them up
and translated them. It’s a trilogy
and the last book is coming out
later this year. Usually, it takes a
while to earn out the advance, but
the first two books have already
done that and now I’m earning
royalties. But for me, it’s not the
money, it’s never been about the
money for those books, it’s the
fact that kids are reading them.
It’s not just the kids that are being
bullied but the kids that are seeing
other people being bullied and are
unsure what to do about it. It’s this
idea that bullying is not okay in
any situation and you can stand
up to it.
How did Arctic Circle evolve?
I saw it has featured in the New
York Times.
I came up with the idea for the
characters in 1992, when I wasn’t
quite as good at drawing and at
the time, comic strips were black
and white. I thought, if I base
this in the Arctic, I won’t have to
draw any backgrounds.
Polar bears and penguins look
great together, but as a scientist,
this is a terrible thing to do as
penguins are from Antarctica.
So, I made them immigrant
penguins. They talk too, it’s
obviously not the real world.

OUR PEOPLE
‘Environmentalism really permeates my entire life’
• From page 7
When I relaunched the strip,
environmentalism had become
an intrinsic part of who I was and
it was becoming more and more
important. Now, it is the most
important thing I think.
How do you include
environmentalism in your day
to day life?
Duncan’s pride and joy is his
dirty, diesel Land-Rover. I don’t
think you should dictate to
anyone how to live their life but
I have an electric bicycle and a
regular bicycle.
My electric bike is my car and
I charge that via the solar energy
collected from my studio. I also
absolutely love the Zilch car
share, borrowing the electric car
from the Rec Centre. But most
of the time, I walk or bike and
then I love the number 28 bus. So
that’s transport.
Environmentalism really
permeates my entire life. I think
the biggest thing we can do is
reduce our consumption. There
is so much stuff in the world
already. I gave up eating meat
about a year ago.
I think it’s important globally
for us to eat less meat. I also
garden and shop locally. I buy
my groceries, first at the Farmer’s
Market, second at the Harbour
Co-op, third at Lyttelton
Supervalue.
I go to the supermarket once a
month to get the things I can’t get

from those places.
How has your comic practice
evolved and your drawing style
changed?
It’s got better. Because actually,
I don’t think I am very good at
drawing. I’m totally faking it
because I enjoy writing. I mean,
I like being a cartoonist but
there are lots of people probably
reading this article who can draw
better than me.
It’s just putting the two
together and doing it in a way
that is engaging to people and
luckily, I think I’ve improved
over time.
How do you manage your
time as a freelancer?
I think the tasks expand to
fill the time available. When
I’m really good and am putting
out a couple of books a year,
it’s because I have planned the
year and then I’ve planned the
quarters, then I look at each
quarter and I plan the weeks.
At the beginning of each week,
I plan the week. That’s a skeleton
that I hang everything on. At the
beginning of each day, I write
down how I am actually going to
get today’s things done, and then
I do most of it.
You have to be flexible but
you have to have a target, a
destination because if you don’t
then you will drive all over the
road. You’ve got to map things
out so you know where you are
going.
You recently ran a planting
day called Adopt the Zig-Zag,
tell me about that?
We need to think about where
everything drains because if it
is going into a storm drain, it is
going into the Lyttelton Harbour.
At the bottom of the Zig-Zag
(on Joyce St), there is a storm
drain that collects the weed
spray and the dirt from the park
after heavy rain and then it goes
into the harbour. I swim in the
harbour, I love the harbour. I
recently chatted to a city council
contractor who looks after
the park and asked if I found
some people to help me and we
adopted this, would they stop
spraying.
Their major concern was health
and safety, letting loose a bunch
of residents in a public space. I’m
not great with bureaucracy but
I know a guy who is. Hamish
Fairburn from Conservation
Volunteers. So I collared him at
the library and explained there
was this public area that I wanted
to adopt. He was on board.
The city council supplied
the plants and mulch, Hamish
supplied the high-vis vests and
tools, I got the word out. Initially
in the morning, it was a really
revolting rainy day, Hamish
looked at us and then at the 200
plants and said, maybe we won’t
put all of these out.
We thought we will just see
how much we can get done by
12.30pm. But then more and
more people showed up, which
was just fantastic. And everyone
was beaming.
It was cold but we had a green
chain gang passing buckets of
mulch up and empty buckets
down and we were done in an
hour. There are plans to do more,
so stay tuned.

COMBATING screen time
and encouraging children
to connect with nature and
the world around them on
a deeper holistic level are
the goals of an educational
programme based
at Orton Bradley
Park.
Bush Farm Education
recently
received $10,000
from the city
council Sustainability
Fund, which
will go towards
developing a farm,
food and fibre
curriculum for
children taking part in the
programme.
Founder, director and
teacher Katie Earle started
Bush Farm Education four
years ago due to a “deep
desire to offer alternative
schooling to kids where
they can get out of the
classroom for at least one
day a week.”
She is “stoked” to receive
the funding.
“This is hopefully the
start of many more grants.”
The curriculum to be
developed from the fund
will focus on helping children
understand they are
part of a wider ecosystem,
learning about where
things such as meat and
wool fibre come from.
Said Earle: “I hope
this will then encourage
children to make different
decisions about what they
are choosing to eat and
wear.”
Earle, who originally
worked as a primary
school teacher, could see
children increasingly
struggling in large classrooms,
where technology
Katie Earle
is integrated into every
lesson.
“Kids need time to be
outside and to involve
themselves in real-life
learning,” she said.
Maths and science are
incorporated into the programme,
such as
with the harvesting
of pumpkins,
teaching about the
living world, and
spending time
with animals.
Bush Farm
aims to provide
young people with
a “deep nature
connection.”
Earle explained
the programme focuses
on developing children’s
sensory experiences as this
empowers their learning
and helps them to remember
what they have learned
for years to come.
Students are meant
to commit to at least six
months of taking part in
the programme but Earle
said many have stayed on
for several years.
Isaac Fahey’s 10-year-old
daughter Maddi has just
started the programme.
They live in Rāpaki.
Fahey said he wanted
Maddi to attend Bush
Farm as “it’s important
for kids to spend time
outdoors in a learning
environment where life
skills can really be put to
use.”
Maddi said, in just two
lessons, she had learned
how to make a fire, work
on a tractor, and about
what cows eat.
“I love getting out of the
classroom to learn about
nature and what is surrounding
me,” she said.
“Katie is one of the best
teachers I’ve ever had.”
Rod Millynn’s son
Lachie is seven and has
attended the programme
for a year. They live in
Heathcote Valley.
“Lachie is a really
outdoorsy kid and this
provides him with an
opportunity to learn about
and connect with nature,”
Millynn said.
“He has been diagnosed
with dyslexia and so he
thrives on these intellectual
interactions. He always
comes home beaming.”
Lachie said his favourite
part of the programme was
being in nature and learning
about animals.
Earle decided to base
Bush Farm Education at
Orton Bradley Park due to
its diverse environment,
with two farms, a bush
area, and a flowing river.
“It is the taonga at
Christchurch; an amazing
resource right at our doorstep.”
Over the coming
months, Earle said she is
planning to build relationships
with Christchurch
schools.
“This place is a resource
they can use,” she said.
Earle is also hoping
to work with businesses
that align with the programme’s
values such as
sustainability and well-being.
“I’d love to work with
businesses who could
provide scholarships for
young people, removing
the monetary barriers for
them,” she said.
“To have this support
would be phenomenal. If
anyone is interested, please
reach out.”

Hunt on for Wally
REPAIRED: A historic retaining wall on Coleridge Tce in
Lyttelton has been rebuilt. PHOTO: ANDREW TURNER
Wall repairs completed
• By Samantha Mythen
THE HISTORIC retaining wall
on Lyttelton’s Coleridge Tce has
finally been repaired.
The walls, made out of volcanic
rock from Lyttelton Harbour,
were damaged during the February
22, 2011, earthquake.
The city council started work
to fix the wall in February this
year.
Work included demolition of
the existing wall, construction
of a new concrete retaining wall
and a partial road re-construction.
The contractors saved and reused
the historic red rock facing
from the historic wall.
Said Deputy Mayor Andrew
Turner, who lives in Lyttelton:
“These repairs have been
undertaken on many of the
heritage retaining walls around
Lyttelton which were damaged or
destroyed in the earthquakes.
“The result is a modern fully
functioning and fully compliant
retaining wall that also retains
the red rock that is such a part
of Lyttelton’s character and
heritage.”
Lyttelton Club which operates
from a building in front of
the wall shared images of the
completed wall on its Facebook
page.
“It sure is great to see it now
repaired and looking so good,”
the organisation said.

A WHERE’S Wally scavenger
hunt is encouraging Heathcote
Valley residents to get outside,
have some fun and keep active
this lockdown.
On Sunday, Anna Marsden
and her three children put up
15 pictures of the red and white
striped T-shirt wearing, glasses-adorned
Wally.
Marsden was inspired by
Katie Wallis, an Australian
school teacher she follows on
Instagram.
“Katie sews and I sew, hence I
follow her for inspiration,” said
Marsden.
“I saw she had created a
Where’s Wally scavenger hunt
around her neighbourhood and
thought my boys would love to
do that too.”
Wallis shared the pictures, allowing
anyone to download the
file and also create a scavenger
hunt.
Two of Marsden’s sons,
Frankin and Arthur, helped her
to set up the Wally trail.
“We put on our face masks,
took our hand sanitiser and
went out to create the hunt,” she
said.
When they got home, Marsden
shared the scavenger hunt
on Facebook, encouraging other
people to see if they can find all
15 pictures of Wally.
SCAVENGER HUNT: Arthur and Franklin helped to create
a Where’s Wally scavenger hunt in Heathcote Valley. Can
you find Wally in the photo above?
“In just 24 hours from going
live on Facebook, we heard
about heaps of people who were
out looking for Wally,” said
Marsden.
“It’s a light-hearted and fun
thing to do, providing a different
focus. The kids love hearing
that their friends are out looking
as well, helping to nurture
connections during this time.”
The scavenger hunt begins at
the Heathcote war memorial
cenotaph.

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.

If you could change one thing
in NZ would it be and why?
NZ is certainly not a utopia and
there are many things that I
would change.
I think there is this idea that
we are a post gender and post
racial society when neither of
those things are true and I would
like to see more social advocacy
and more acknowledgement of
the problems we do have in areas
of gender and race.
I was fortunate enough to
go to an all-girls school so the
idea of people still being sexist
was absolutely foreign to me.
However, I’ve come to learn that
sexism is subtle and a lot of the
historic ideas around what it
means to be a man or a woman
or whatever are still super
prevalent particularly in regard
to sexual assault.

But it also means a lot to me that the
community here is so supportive, and I
would love to be able to give back in the
future.
What would you like to be doing in
10 years time?
Hopefully, working in an area that
I’m passionate about. I haven’t thought
too much about it. I don’t like to put too
much pressure on it because things can
change so quickly.
What is the biggest challenge facing
people of your generation and why?
I think the biggest challenge is how
to adapt to a rapidly changing world
environment.
There have been so many political,
social and environmental changes. As
well as this there has also been a big
shift in employment opportunities.
Being able to adapt to change has
become essential for our generation.
What is the biggest challenge facing
humanity and why?
Honestly, I think there is a lot of
challenges facing humanity and they’re
all serious. Climate change has a huge
impact on everyone, and we can see the
effects of it every day.
I think it’s one of the biggest
challenges because we can still turn it
around, but it means globally everyone
is going to have to change the way they
live.
If you could change one thing in NZ,
what would it be and why?
Mental health services. I think that
more funding needs to go towards them
so they’re more accessible to everyone.
Sarah Cody

Health sciences
scholarship
What are you
aiming to do when
you graduate?
After completing
my undergraduate
degree I am hoping
to continue my
studies and complete a phd degree
in psychology focusing my thesis
around the role of micronutrients and
macronutrients in mental illness.
However, I also have an ambition to
be considered for one of New Zealand’s
clinical psychology programmes at
some stage in my career.
What does the scholarship mean for
you?
This scholarship allows me to avoid
financial stress and consequently I
am able to reach my full potential and
dedicate my time and energy towards
my studies.
In addition it drives me knowing I have
support from my community in which
hope to be working with in the future.
What would you like to be doing in
10 years time?
In 10 years time I picture myself
building my career either working
in the health sector as a mental
health practitioner/health care
professional and placing an emphasis
on the increased need for available
mental health resources and support
throughout the nation.
Alternatively I would love to undergo
further research in the growing field of
nutritions role in mental illness. In addition
I hope to be financially stable, surrounded
by loved ones and in good health.
What is the biggest challenge facing
people of your generation and why?
The biggest challenge facing my
generation is the extreme potency of
social media within our everyday lives.
The integration of the ‘tool’ is
associated with several mental health
issues and is an extreme facilitator of
abuse, isolation, social skill degradation,
feelings of inadequacy and has the
potential to create a false reality along
with carrying an addictive nature.
What is the biggest challenge facing
humanity and why?
The biggest challenge facing humanity
today is break down of the global
community with the rise of nationalism
in which countries isolate themselves.
In turn this prevents the ability to
progress with global agreement and
decisions regarding pressing current
issues such as human induced climate
change, Covid-19, population growth
and food insecurity.
If you could change one thing in NZ,
what would it be and why?
One thing I would change about
New Zealand is the low accessibility of
funded mental health care.
I believe mental health professionals
should be far more available and
communities should receive further
education on detaching the stigma
associated with mental illness and
seeking help.
This is due to many lacking a strong
support network who should be able to
receive the care they deserve.

Pupils’ cards a fundraiser for school
• By Samantha Mythen
COLOURFUL cards created
by children are being sold as
a school fundraiser.
At the end of each year,
Lyttelton Primary School
takes its year 8 pupils to
Wellington, a trip that costs
about $500 a person.
Teacher Rachel Cummins
said it is a way to celebrate
the pupils finishing primary
school and acknowledging
their input as seniors.
The yearly trips began in
2015 and were also a way
to show pupils a “city experience,”
with Christchurch
still recovering from the
earthquakes.
Cummins said, while in
Wellington, they visit places
such as Parliament, Te Papa,
and Weta Workshop, “the
whole shebang.”
Due to the costs involved,
the school always raised a
significant amount of money
from fundraising to pay for
it.
This year, Ange Hyland,
a parent of Tyler, one of the
year 8 pupils, suggested
they design cards to sell as a
fundraiser.
She is the manager of
Printable Solutions and
offered to provide the card
materials, printing and marketing
for the project.
FUN FUNDRAISER:
Manager of Printable
Solutions and mother
of year 8 pupil Tyler
at Lyttelton Primary
School, helped the
group make cards to sell
for their school trip to
Wellington.
The pupils came up with
the card designs themselves.
There are three packs of 10
cards, grouped in themes of
animals, birdlife and nature,
and birthdays.
Said Cummins: “I think
this is a great idea. Our kids
love art and Ange has provided
them with a platform
to express this creativity.”
Cards can be purchased
from the school or at gift
shop the Lyttel Kiwi; a 10-
pack costs $20.

Speakers
share
their stories
• By Samantha Mythen
COMMUNITY Conversations,
a new weekly speaker series held
in Lyttelton, is providing people
with the opportunity to share
stories, learn something new and
connect with others.
There have been three speakers
since the project’s beginnings
in August, discussing a diverse
range of topics.
The events are organised by
Lyttelton Timebank as part of
Project Lyttelton and are held
on Tuesday evenings at Eruption
Brewing on London St.
Timebank co-ordinator Jill
Larking said the speakers so far
had been “really amazing.”
“It has been quite cool to see the
positive response from all the different
people attending,” she said.
“The work at Project Lyttelton is
all about offering the community
opportunities to connect and this
seems to be a winning formula.”
The series began with a conversation
with Duncan Wilcox.
He shared his story on the
founding of Lyttelton Farmer’s
Market.
The next conversation is set to
be with a speaker from charitable
trust Community Energy Action,
providing advice on how to create a
healthy and energy-efficient home.

Golf production shows no sign of slowing
GET YOUR head around this –
Volkswagen’s Golf has reached 47
years in production and is now in
its eighth generation.
Only a few nameplates see that
kind of distance, those that have
carved out a healthy reputation in
the marketplace.
According to Volkswagen, it
has produced over 45 million
Golfs from production sites, not
just in Germany but scattered in
plants globally, and there’s no sign
that production will end anytime
soon.
Golf 8 has just landed in New
Zealand and at present it is
available here in three variants
– two TSi models and a GTi.
I’m sure the high performance
Golf R will find its way here as
production comes on stream and
supply lines are generated to 100
per cent. The two TSi models
consist of the base specification
$37,990 variant which is
designated Life, and the R-Line
model as tested, it adds $10k. For
interest’s sake, the GTi is listed at
$61,490.
The R-Line evaluation car
lived up to all expectation. It
is the quintessential five-door
hatchback that makes you feel
particularly good to be in.
Volkswagen has been
careful not to depart from the
fundamental concept of Golf, it’s
exactly what you’d expect from a
generational change, the driveline
has been further refined, the
exterior style has been sharpened,
while the interior has gone very
high-tech.
In terms of the latter, even
though the electronic functions
are vast they are minimalistic
and intuitive. There’s a strong
presence of haptic switches and
buttons, fingertip controls that
make understanding and working
the controls simple.
The entire dash panel and
layout is clean and fresh, in
keeping with the rest of the
ultra-modern interior. When
you are inside the Golf 8 you feel
part of the vehicle, and at home
with its ergonomics, it has that
unmistakeable European feel.
Comfort levels are also high
and space for five adults is far
from compromised. The Golf
over the years hasn’t dramatically
increased in size, so you still
have that compact feel yet know
there’s enough room on board
for the time when it will be full to
capacity.
I have a friend who has the
previous generation model and
she has often had a full load onboard,
that’s something you can
do easily with Golf, it makes good
use of its proportions.
Under the bonnet sits a 1.4-litre
ULTRA-MODERN: Comprehensive but minimalistic display
and control systems are intuitive to use.
VOLKSWAGEN GOLF TSI: Eight-generation model is now available in Kiwi market.
turbocharged four-cylinder
engine that is pretty much a
carryover. It’s a real honey in
terms of how it operates, it is
smooth, quiet and efficient.
Volkswagen claim power outputs
of 110kW and 250Nm, the
secret to its keen performance
are the areas where power and
torque are developed, both low
down at 5000rpm and 1500rpm
respectively. Consequently, there
is strong boost from take-off and
no drop-off of power through
to the redline, all of the time the
engine is singing sweetly, it is well
isolated and shows no sign of
breathlessness.
Drive is carried through
an eight-speed automatic
transmission that has paddle
shifters if you wish to manually
work up and down the ratios.
Not only is the driveline such
a strong performer – 0-100km in
8.7sec – but it is also a fuel miser.
Volkswagen claim a combined
cycle average of 5.8-litres per
100km. That sits well with the
readout during my time with the
TSi, it was constantly listing at
7l/100km with 4l/100km showing
instantaneously at 100km/h
(engine speed 1800rpm).
When I mentioned that
European feel from inside the car,
that presence is also carried on
through movement. It feels firmly

connected to the road and has
handling that has you thinking
you are driving something far
more exotic.
Drive is channelled to the front
wheels, and that has been a Golf
fundamental since day one. The
suspension is a mix of struts
up front with an independent
multi-link rear. The combination
provides wheel freedom and
adequate suspension movement.
The spring and damper
rates are exactly what you
would expect, and want, just
enough firming to contain body
movement along with the ability
to tackle the hits from uneven
road surfaces.
Providing the grip are
beautiful Bridgestone tyres,
at 225/40 x 18in the profile is
such that there is just enough
sidewall flex to maintain onboard
comfort, along with the
footprint to promote feedback to
the driver.
I took the evaluation car on
the inland scenic route (SH72)
through to Glenroy from
Darfield, the Golf dispenses
distances with ease and is
a competent handler when
the wide, flowing corners are
presented. In the tight stuff,
steerage is sharp and direct, the
Golf almost dances through
the twisty bits, it is athletic and
nimble, providing the driver with
a great deal of satisfaction.
As an everyday drive, my five
days with the evaluation car
involved the urban commute and
I’ve deemed it the quintessential
city car, it dawdles the traffic with
a smooth operating manner and
doesn’t tax the occupants in any
way.
That’s why Golf has done so
well globally, it is a car that does
nothing wrong but everything
right. In R-Line form it has those
extra bits that you could say gives
it a more luxurious feel.
However, I’d be saving the $10k
and pick up the Life variant, it
just seems such a bargain and
would certainly make you feel
like a million dollars every time
you are in it.
