Helping hand for coffee shop<br />

owners to stay trading<br />

• By Samantha Mythen<br />

A HEATHCOTE coffee outlet is<br />

making its bid to the city council<br />

in the next few days to stay open.<br />

Upshot Coffee co-owners<br />

Megan Geels and Justin Good<br />

said they are now in a position<br />

to submit a resource consent<br />

application this week so they can<br />

keep trading past the end of the<br />

month.<br />

They have been working with a<br />

Resource Management Act lawyer<br />

and planner on the application to<br />

the city council.<br />

Geels and Good were thrown<br />

a financial lifeline by Redcliffs<br />

resident and semi-retired land development<br />

consultant, David Fox,<br />

who paid $10,000 to help with the<br />

application.<br />

“We would have struggled to get<br />

as far as we have without David’s<br />

support,” said Good.<br />

“He has been so generous with<br />

not only his money but also his<br />

time and knowledge. We are so<br />

lucky.”<br />

Said Fox: “Urban design is<br />

about people, property and places.<br />

Upshot Coffee is an iconic site<br />

with personality, charm and vitality<br />

that is loved by the Heathcote<br />

community. More than 2000<br />

people have signed a petition to<br />

keep them open.”<br />

NEW RELEASES<br />

Steve Hansen - The Legacy<br />

the making of a new Zealand coaching great by Gregor paul<br />

Between the years 2012 and 2019, Sir Steve Hansen oversaw an era of such remarkable<br />

success that it would be almost impossible to repeat. His 15-year career in the All Blacks<br />

coaching team is the heaviest footprint in rugby history. Of the 210 tests he was involved with,<br />

his team lost just 25 times. Of the 107 tests he served as head coach, Sir Steve accumulated<br />

a record 4 World Rugby Coach of the Year awards and orchestrated 93 victories - a winning<br />

percentage of 87 per cent, the highest of any All Blacks coach. Steve Hansen: The Legacy delves<br />

into the highs and the lows that earned the New Zealand rugby knight a place in the pantheon<br />

of world rugby coaching greats. Revealing and perceptive, the book uncovers how<br />

OUR<br />

PRICE<br />

$39.99<br />

RRP $49.99<br />

Hansen dealt with the immeasurable pressure of leading the world’s most famous<br />

rugby team; the tension created by being re-appointed specifically to win the Rugby<br />

World Cup. Much more than a biography, in Steve Hansen: The Legacy, awardwinning<br />

writer Gregor Paul tells the compelling story of the former policeman from<br />

Mosgiel, his quest for world rugby dominance and his journey to coaching greatness.<br />

WE WILL BE OPEN<br />

IN ALERT LEVEL 2<br />

Imposter<br />

by Matt Chisholm<br />

Country boy and television host Matt Chisholm seemed to have it all. With a plum job on TV and<br />

a great family, his future looked bright.?<br />

But behind the happy facade, Matt was barely coping, driving himself into the ground with work<br />

and withdrawing from everyone but his family. One day something snapped. After admitting in a<br />

social media post that he was struggling with depression, Matt was shocked at the outpouring of<br />

public support. It would be the catalyst for him to face up to his unhappiness and change his life.<br />

Growing up in Otago, Matt was the sensitive youngest child in a family of four boys, with a<br />

difficult home life in which high standards were paramount. After trying his first drink at fourteen,<br />

Matt found himself in a decades-long spiral of aimlessness and heavy drinking - despite the<br />

physical and mental toll the booze took on him.?<br />

It would take Matt until his thirties to find success as a journalist, always doubting himself and<br />

his abilities. After finally giving up drinking at 34, his career went from strength to strength, but<br />

the unrelenting pressure of having to perform and his own perfectionist tendencies came at a<br />

high cost and he was diagnosed with depression. Something had to give.<br />

The Big Bike Trip<br />

by Freddie Gillies<br />

Four Kiwis on an epic journey to discover the world and themselves. ‘When you’re<br />

hurting and coughing on a steep incline, it’s hard to see or even think of the top,<br />

but you just gotta push a pedal at a time and keep pushing.’ At Auckland Airport,<br />

a group of young Kiwis began an audacious - some would say crazy - journey,<br />

huddled together and wiping tears from their eyes. Fourteen months later, they had<br />

cycled 23,000 kilometres, from Bali to Buckingham Palace, across more than<br />

20 countries and adventured through some of the most exotic parts of the world.<br />

They battled extreme heat, sub-zero temperatures, culture shock and loneliness as<br />

they pushed their bodies to their limits. They overcame injury, illness, heartbreak,<br />

and, above all, their own fears and self-doubt. It was the time of their lives. Packed<br />

with stunning photography by Sean Wakely, The Big Bike Trip is an inspirational<br />

account of self-discovery, friendship and turning your dreams into reality.<br />

The Nine<br />

the true story of a Band of Women Who survived the Worst of<br />

nazi Germany by Gwen strauss<br />

The Nine follows the true story of the author’s great aunt Hélène Podliasky, who led a band of<br />

nine female resistance fighters as they escaped a German forced labor camp and made a tenday<br />

journey across the front lines of WWII from Germany back to Paris.<br />

The nine women were all under thirty when they joined the resistance. They smuggled arms<br />

through Europe, harbored parachuting agents, coordinated communications between regional<br />

sectors, trekked escape routes to Spain and hid Jewish children in scattered apartments. They<br />

were arrested by French police, interrogated and tortured by the Gestapo. They were subjected to<br />

a series of French prisons and deported to Germany. The group formed along the way, meeting<br />

at different points, in prison, in transit, and at Ravensbrück. By the time they were enslaved at the<br />

labor camp in Leipzig, they were a close-knit group of friends. During the final days of the war,<br />

forced onto a death march, the nine chose their moment and made a daring escape.<br />

Drawing on incredible research, this powerful, heart-stopping narrative from Gwen Strauss is a<br />

moving tribute to the power of humanity and friendship in the darkest of times.<br />

Supercars<br />

the Great australian sporting rivalry story by luke West<br />

V8 Supercars is a great Australian sporting success story, still going strong for over a quarter<br />

of a century. It was the first local race series to gain a mainstream national following,<br />

catapulting the likes of Peter Brock and Dick Johnson to fame against the backdrop of<br />

Mount Panorama, Bathurst. These days the sport draws huge crowds, attracts big-dollar TV<br />

rights deals and a new generation of heroes have appeared battling over old territory, plus<br />

a host of new street circuits, turning this Australian motor sport into a globally recognised<br />

phenomenon.<br />

The V8s have evolved into today’s Supercars Championship, creating household megastars<br />

such as Craig Lowndes, Marcos Ambrose, Jamie Whincup and Scott McLaughlin. Supercars<br />

gives detailed insight into how each and every championship was won, tracking the<br />

development of the Supercars class between 1993-2010.<br />

This comprehensive and absorbing account of a uniquely Australian sport is a must for any<br />

race fan’s bookshelf.<br />

Checkpoint<br />

turns around<br />

15 vehicles<br />

• By Samantha Mythen<br />

A POLICE checkpoint between<br />

Ferrymead and Sumner worked to<br />

make sure people were following<br />

alert level 3 restrictions.<br />

A checkpoint was set up by Ferry<br />

Rd and Main Rd to ensure people<br />

were complying with the lockdown<br />

rules last Friday.<br />

Canterbury road policing manager<br />

Inspector Natasha Rodley​ said 15<br />

cars were turned around for undertaking<br />

travel that was not permitted<br />

under the level 3 restrictions.<br />

“People generally had good reasons<br />

for travelling, but we remind<br />

people that exercise should be done<br />

locally and travel only for accessing<br />

essential services or essential work,”<br />

Rodley said.<br />

Officers did not count the number<br />

of cars that went through the<br />

checkpoint. Police were present for<br />

around 30min.<br />

The checkpoint was part of ongoing<br />

work in Canterbury and across<br />

wider New Zealand to ensure that<br />

people are aware of and are complying<br />

with alert level restrictions.<br />

As Christchurch is under level<br />

2 restrictions from today and<br />

travel restrictions are eased, police<br />

would like to remind people to<br />

refresh themselves with new rules,<br />

especially regarding scanning in<br />

using the NZ Covid Tracer QR and<br />

mask-wearing.<br />

Call for more smart bins<br />

in community spaces<br />

• By Samantha Mythen<br />

NEW SMART bins have been<br />

installed around Christchurch’s<br />

community parks and public<br />

spaces, however, the Sumner<br />

community say they need more.<br />

The village saw many visitors<br />

over the weekend, which resulted<br />

in overflowing bins along<br />

the esplanade.<br />

The Sumner Community<br />

Residents’ Association said the<br />

“new smart bins are excellent<br />

but there are not enough of<br />

them.”<br />

“They were not up to the<br />

challenge,” said the association<br />

on the Sumner NZ Facebook<br />

group.<br />

It is keenly aware of the coming<br />

summer months, which<br />

will draw more people to the<br />

beaches, resulting in more rubbish.<br />

They are in the process of<br />

requesting two additional bins<br />

from the city council.<br />

One of the current smart bins<br />

had a broken sensor and will be<br />

replaced.<br />

Said Sumner Hub co-ordinator<br />

Charlie Hudson: “There are<br />

gaps where bins should be<br />

. . . they need to be more spaced<br />

out and accessible, especially in<br />

NEED FOR<br />

MORE BINS:<br />

After a busy<br />

weekend<br />

in Sumner<br />

saw bins<br />

overflowing,<br />

the Sumner<br />

Community<br />

Residents’<br />

Association<br />

are hoping for<br />

more.<br />

areas where people are leaving<br />

Sumner.”<br />

The smart bins have a larger<br />

capacity and sensor technology<br />

which provides the city council’s<br />

maintenance contractor<br />

with daily data on how full each<br />

bin is.<br />

The data means the contractor<br />

only needs to send crews<br />

out to empty the bins when required,<br />

saving time and money.<br />

The smart bins were trialled<br />

in the Botanic Gardens, Hagley<br />

Park, Akaroa and other popular<br />

parks and attractions prior to<br />

being rolled out city-wide from<br />

June.<br />

RENOWNED SAILOR and<br />

broadcaster Peter Lester will be<br />

visiting Lyttelton as a fundraiser<br />

for St John.<br />

Lester, who lived in Lyttelton,<br />

THE GREEN fire break in<br />

Drayton Reserve has been<br />

completed, with more than 800<br />

native trees planted by local<br />

volunteers.<br />

For the past four months,<br />

members of the Drayton Reserve<br />

Volunteers group have been<br />

working in rain or shine to plant<br />

low-flammable native species for<br />

the first 10m below residential<br />

properties.<br />

A large vegetation fire in January<br />

decimated the gully between<br />

Mt Pleasant and Redcliffs. The<br />

fire threatened houses and about<br />

500 sq m of vegetation was<br />

destroyed.<br />

Six firefighting crews and two<br />

helicopters were involved in<br />

extinguishing the blaze, which<br />

was contained after about three<br />

hours.<br />

“The area will retard any<br />

future fire that might occur in<br />

the reserve as it approaches the<br />

houses,” said the group’s co-ordinator<br />

Dave Bryce.<br />

“We have been planting native<br />

species of low-flammability, with<br />

a combination of fleshy leaves<br />

and low levels of sap or resin.”<br />

Now the fire break has been<br />

completed, the volunteer group<br />

will continue with infill work<br />

and has 350 seedlings to plant in<br />

the reserve’s burnt area.<br />

Bryce also said he is working<br />

to eliminate stormwater<br />

‘Frustrating process’<br />

• From page 1<br />

Good said he thought they had<br />

a good case for consent being<br />

granted. But they will have to<br />

bring the site up to building code.<br />

“I do believe the city plan provides<br />

scope for us to be provided<br />

consent,” he said.<br />

“The city plan should not be a<br />

rigid document that doesn’t allow<br />

for changes that support the<br />

community.”<br />

Upshot Coffee has been operating<br />

with a temporary accommodation<br />

licence under the Greater<br />

Christchurch Regeneration Act.<br />

However, the legislation expired<br />

in June, meaning the cafe’s<br />

licence also became void that<br />

month.<br />

The city council compliance<br />

team since agreed to non-enforcement<br />

until <strong>September</strong> 30, allowing<br />

the coffee shop to operate<br />

until the end of the month.<br />

While the resource consent<br />

is being processed, the owners<br />

are hoping to get an extension<br />

of non-enforcement from the<br />

city council’s compliance team,<br />

meaning the coffee shop could<br />

stay open longer. They are currently<br />

negotiating for this.<br />

“This is a frustrating process<br />

but we are committed to continue<br />

operating here in the valley,” said<br />

Good.<br />

The Greater Christchurch<br />

Regeneration Act was created to<br />

allow businesses displaced by the<br />

February 22, 2011, earthquake to<br />

operate out of temporary<br />

homes.<br />

Businesses can apply for specific<br />

resource consents relevant<br />

to their trading area, in order to<br />

stay open.<br />

City council head of resource<br />

consents John Higgins said about<br />

80 out of the 950 businesses<br />

granted temporary accommodation<br />

permits after the<br />

earthquakes have applied for new<br />

resource consents to continue<br />

operations.<br />

Upshot Coffee has been operating<br />

in Heathcote since 2005.<br />

It has operated at the Heathcote<br />

Valley riding school since the<br />

earthquake damaged its original<br />

premise.<br />

Heathcote residents call Upshot<br />

Coffee their community hub and<br />

are eager for it to stay.<br />

“The support we have received<br />

so far is incredibly humbling,”<br />

said Geels.<br />

“It almost brings me to tears.”<br />

Jack Fletcher has lived in<br />

Heathcote for three years.<br />

“Local cafes add flavour and<br />

culture to a neighbourhood, and<br />

Upshot is such a great example of<br />

this. It’s super busy there in the<br />

weekends with cyclists and local<br />

families, and the outlook over<br />

the Heathcote horse paddocks is<br />

beautiful,’’ he said.<br />

“It’s been such a shame to<br />

lose this local gathering place,<br />

which contributes so much to the<br />

Heathcote vibe.”<br />

Opening up a new world with wheels<br />

Learn<br />

to skate<br />

with the<br />

experts<br />

• By Samantha Mythen<br />

A COUPLE with a passion for<br />

roller skating are sharing their<br />

love of the sport.<br />

Long-time skaters Laurie<br />

Brunot and her partner, Benjamin<br />

Gellie are both from France<br />

but they have found their home<br />

on a boat at Te Ana Marina in<br />

Lyttelton.<br />

They have lived in New<br />

Zealand for six years, three of<br />

those spent living on Lyttelton<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />

Brunot works as a baker and<br />

patisserie chef. They both work<br />

at Vic’s Bakehouse.<br />

Outside of creating delicious<br />

buttery treats, Brunot and Gellie<br />

will be found teaching people<br />

how to skate, whether it’s freestyle,<br />

recreational or roller derby.<br />

Brunot picked up skating at<br />

three years old after “falling in<br />

love” with her nanny’s daughter.<br />

She said she wanted to “be just<br />

like her,” with a “little girl’s awe.”<br />

“Whatever sport she did, I<br />

would have picked up,” Brunot<br />

said.<br />

“It just happened to be roller<br />

skating.”<br />

Although the daughter<br />

stopped skating, Brunot continued<br />

on with the sport.<br />

Now 31, she has been skating<br />

for more than 25 years.<br />

Gellie has also been skating<br />

since he was a child.<br />

“For me, I started it as a<br />

commute sport. It’s good for you<br />

like running but it doesn’t put a<br />

strain on your knees or back,” he<br />

said.<br />

“It’s a great way to stay sharp.”<br />

For Brunot, achieving new<br />

skills and working on skating<br />

techniques, such as jumping<br />

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />

and landing, has made the sport<br />

“addictive.”<br />

“It’s such a great feeling<br />

when you can skate efficiently,”<br />

she said, loving the motion of<br />

skating.<br />

Previously, Brunot trained as<br />

a figure skater on quad skates,<br />

competing in events around the<br />

world.<br />

“You trained for hours<br />

and hours and hours, just to<br />

PASSION:<br />

Couple Laurie<br />

Brunot and<br />

Benjamin<br />

Gellie have<br />

been skating<br />

on eight<br />

wheels since<br />

they were<br />

children,<br />

taking part in<br />

figure skating<br />

and roller<br />

hockey.<br />

master six to seven jumps,” she<br />

said.<br />

“But the sport draws you in.<br />

You have to be a little bit psycho<br />

in this world as you must strive<br />

for perfection.”<br />

It was only once moving to<br />

New Zealand that she tried out<br />

roller derby, joining the Dead<br />

End Derby team and then the<br />

Ōtautahi Rollers.<br />

“It is really cool to work on<br />

strategy in a team,” she said.<br />

Quickly finding out she was<br />

a natural at the volatile and aggressive<br />

sport, was also quite “a<br />

boost to her ego.”<br />

As a member of Dead End<br />

Derby, Brunot and her team were<br />

undefeated in New Zealand for<br />

two years.<br />

Gellie took part in roller hockey<br />

and freestyle competitions<br />

growing up.<br />

After receiving several injuries,<br />

he decided to take up coaching,<br />

travelling with his teams around<br />

the world, winning several European<br />

championships.<br />

Gellie continued coaching after<br />

they moved to New Zealand.<br />

“When Laurie said she wanted<br />

to move to New Zealand, I<br />

thought why not? It will be a<br />

good challenge,” he said.<br />

He helped coach Brunot and<br />

Dead End Derby.<br />

“I didn’t know a lot about roller<br />

derby but I spent a lot of time<br />

watching the best team in the<br />

world on Youtube and went from<br />

there,” he said.<br />

“We had lots of fun, and as<br />

well as the coaching helping<br />

improve my English, we were<br />

undefeated for a few years.”<br />

Brunot has been a skating<br />

coach since she was 16.<br />

She said during her skating<br />

career, she received so much help<br />

and guidance, ever since she has<br />

“wanted to give back” and pay it<br />

forward.<br />

“It’s my duty to give back the<br />

love of roller skating.”<br />

Brunot helps coach children<br />

for roller derby.<br />

Training young people is her<br />

favourite part of skating.<br />

“When they learn to do a new,<br />

cool thing, they come up to me<br />

and are so happy to show me this<br />

new thing, and knowing that I’ve<br />

helped with that makes me so<br />

happy,” she said.<br />

The couple helped to start<br />

the junior derby league in<br />

Christchurch.<br />

The spirit of skating<br />

is about having fun<br />

• From page 8<br />

There are now more<br />

than 40 junior skaters now<br />

under their guidance.<br />

“The goal is to build team<br />

spirit and have fun, focusing<br />

on active play over the<br />

competition,” she said.<br />

Brunot believes this<br />

is why Ōtautahi Rollers<br />

is so successful, offering<br />

different classes for everyone<br />

of all ages and simply<br />

encouraging everyone to<br />

try skating.<br />

Their oldest member<br />

is 70, and they play roller<br />

derby.<br />

“Everyone is welcome, no<br />

matter your age or who you<br />

are,” she said.<br />

“This makes skating<br />

different from other sports.<br />

With roller skating, your<br />

competition is yourself.<br />

You succeed at your own<br />

time.”<br />

For the couple, the spirit<br />

of skating is about having<br />

fun.<br />

“I love coaching and<br />

sharing my knowledge,”<br />

Gellie said.<br />

“It’s so nice to see kids<br />

and adults improve and be<br />

independent on skates.”<br />

As a coach, Brunot said<br />

her goal is for people to just<br />

be happy while on skates.<br />

She is continually<br />

working to improve her<br />

own skills, taking part in<br />

coaching boot camps run<br />

by the New Zealand roller<br />

derby team.<br />

The Ōtautahi Rollers<br />

received a grant from the<br />

city council last year to<br />

buy more skates as it was<br />

finding their classes were<br />

becoming so popular there<br />

were never enough skates<br />

for everyone.<br />

After establishing this<br />

connection with the city<br />

council, this year, the<br />

Ōtautahi Rollers have been<br />

granted a lease over a speed<br />

skating rink built in the 70s<br />

in Hornby.<br />

Roller skating is becoming<br />

increasingly popular<br />

around the globe.<br />

“During the worldwide<br />

lockdowns, people were<br />

looking for activities they<br />

could do by themselves and<br />

skating is the perfect activity<br />

for that,” Brunot said.<br />

“It’s also non-traditional<br />

and something different,<br />

fun.”<br />

Since the nationwide<br />

lockdown last year, Brunot<br />

and Gellie have personally<br />

been receiving numerous<br />

requests from schools,<br />

community groups, and<br />

businesses to run skating<br />

classes.<br />

Brunot helped bring<br />

together a group of roller<br />

skating enthusiasts based<br />

in Lyttelton this year.<br />

A local mother contacted<br />

her in March and asked for<br />

her help with creating the<br />

group and Lyttelton Rollers<br />

was established.<br />

Unfortunately, the Rollers<br />

had to disband in April<br />

as they had venue issues.<br />

“There were more than<br />

40 people who showed interest<br />

in the group,” Brunot<br />

said.<br />

“Young kids right up to<br />

age 60 who just wanted to<br />

be active and skate.”<br />

The first skills Brunot<br />

teaches while coaching<br />

often seem the most complicated<br />

and intimidating.<br />

“We teach about why you<br />

fall, how to jump, and then<br />

how to skate backwards,”<br />

she said.<br />

Although most people<br />

are “scared,” to try jumping<br />

and say to Brunot they will<br />

“never learn,” they always<br />

succeed under her coaching<br />

and encouragement.<br />

Te Ana Marina is “really<br />

good for skating,” and<br />

Brunot said they had seen<br />

many local children out<br />

practising on skates there<br />

this lockdown.<br />

Once you are confident<br />

on skates, you can go anywhere.<br />

Prior to the “dramatic<br />

downsizing of their lives”<br />

and moving their home to<br />

a boat, Brunot said she had<br />

never sailed before.<br />

“But moving to the boat<br />

was natural for me. It’s so<br />

much simpler. I’ll probably<br />

not go back to a house,” she<br />

said.<br />

“We are also a little bit<br />

gypsy so it makes sense.”<br />

Anne Mortimer from<br />

Heathcote Valley began<br />

skating five years ago. She<br />

helps with fundraising and<br />

marketing for the Ōtautahi<br />

Rollers, working closely<br />

POISE: Laurie Brunot<br />

competed around the<br />

world in figure skating<br />

on quad skates. She’s<br />

since found a love for<br />

roller derby.<br />

with Gellie and Brunot.<br />

“I thought skating would<br />

be fun to pick up and so<br />

I bought some skates on<br />

Trade Me, then they sat in<br />

the garage for a few years,”<br />

she said.<br />

With guidance from<br />

Brunot, Mortimer found a<br />

passion for skating.<br />

She originally tried out<br />

the sport with “strap-on<br />

skates,” when she was<br />

young.<br />

Her two children, 11 and<br />

14, take part in roller derby<br />

and love skating.<br />

“I love seeing the kids<br />

skate, they’re so fearless,”<br />

she said.<br />

Mortimer greatly admires<br />

Brunot and Gellie’s<br />

coaching style.<br />

“They inspire fun, with<br />

the main focus just enjoying<br />

being on skates rather<br />

than on competition,” she<br />

said.<br />

Of Gellie’s coaching,<br />

Mortimer said he really<br />

appeals to children as he<br />

is both laid-back but also<br />

encouraging in a way that<br />

inspires the children to<br />

push themselves on their<br />

skates.<br />

“Laurie is so great at<br />

getting everyone involved,<br />

even if you’re on the sidelines<br />

and don’t even know<br />

you want to be involved<br />

yet, she’ll pull you in with<br />

her passion and enthusiasm<br />

to get people on skates,”<br />

Mortimer said.<br />

She said Laurie has<br />

a “can-do attitude,”<br />

where obstacles are just<br />

something to overcome.<br />

“Skating is good for<br />

people who are not into the<br />

traditional sports, those<br />

people who don’t fit the<br />

mould, or are not from a<br />

sporty background.”<br />

WE MAY BE in challenging<br />

times with a pandemic and<br />

lockdowns, but it is spring time.<br />

There have been some<br />

that remind us the season is as<br />

changeable as lockdown levels.<br />

many of those featuring people.<br />

We do not know who the two<br />

young women enjoying a sea of<br />

blooms are, but they certainly<br />

appear to be relishing the experience.<br />

The museum collection<br />

includes more than 20,000 objects,<br />

resources; over 10,000 of which<br />

have been recorded digitally<br />

and are available to view online<br />

If you know anything about<br />

the individual items, please let us<br />

the collection will be curated<br />

and displayed under six main<br />

Reserve plan<br />

approved<br />

• By Samantha Mythen<br />

THE MASTER plan for a Banks<br />

Peninsula reserve, which was the<br />

scene of a massacre in 1830, has<br />

been approved.<br />

The Takapūneke Reserve Landscape<br />

Master Plan was accepted by<br />

the Banks Peninsula Community<br />

Board on August 23 after a month<br />

of public consultation.<br />

The plan shows the location<br />

of key features and places to<br />

be developed as funding and<br />

resources become available.<br />

These features reflect the<br />

cultural heritage and landscape<br />

values expressed in the Reserve<br />

Management Plan 2018.<br />

Takapūneke Reserve is located<br />

on the western side of Akaroa<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong>. It is within Red House<br />

<strong>Bay</strong>, where the historic Red House<br />

was recently bought by the city<br />

council for $2.55 million.<br />

The area became sacred after<br />

the Ngāi Tahu village was raided<br />

by Kapiti Island-based Ngati Toa<br />

warriors led by Te Rauparaha.<br />

Detailed designs will now be<br />

generated from the master plan.<br />

The city council plans to have<br />

features of stage 1 of the plan completed<br />

in time for Ōnuku Rūnanga<br />

to host 2022 Treaty of Waitangi<br />

commemorations.<br />

Since 2002 the reserve has been<br />

registered as Wāhi Tapu – a place<br />

of outstanding historical and<br />

cultural heritage values.<br />

advertorial<br />

The race is still on<br />

Same starting venue at the Governors <strong>Bay</strong> School<br />

on Saturday <strong>September</strong> 18th 9.30am<br />

Same picturesque undulating measured 10km<br />

course from Governors <strong>Bay</strong> to Lyttelton<br />

Same floral prizes and gifts from the race sponsor<br />

Aromaunga Baxters Flowers.<br />

However as with last year there will be some<br />

changes to the starting format due to Covid.<br />

Instead of the chasing start aspect of the event<br />

where the slower runners start first and everyone<br />

finishes pretty much together there will be two<br />

starting groups.<br />

The first and fastest group will<br />

start at 9.30am and the second at<br />

10.00am.<br />

This will enable us to comply<br />

with the Covid social distancing<br />

restrictions.<br />

All entrants will be notified by<br />

email which group they will start in.<br />

This year we had hoped to have<br />

bus transport available from Lyttelton<br />

to the start at Governors <strong>Bay</strong> to<br />

help with transport issues but with<br />

the uncertainty of Covid we have postponed this<br />

introduction until next year. However, there will be a<br />

vehicle transporting gear from the start to the finish.<br />

And at the finish there will be a small change,<br />

which this year will be in the Lyttelton recreation<br />

ground, going straight ahead rather than turning left<br />

into Charlotte Jane Quay<br />

Entrants may have felt last year’s winner Hayden<br />

Wilde was pretty hard to keep up with – and he was<br />

with a time of 28.58. Since then, he has won the<br />

Triathlon bronze medal at Tokyo. However, there is<br />

plenty of room for those of us who<br />

compete at a more leisurely pace.<br />

So, with entries closing this<br />

Friday <strong>September</strong> 10th it’s time<br />

to get your entry in now that we<br />

know we have an event. To enter<br />

visit www.athscanterburynz.wixsite.<br />

com/govs-bay1<br />

As with most sections of the<br />

community our sponsor Aromaunga<br />

Flowers has had to adapt to these<br />

changing Covid times. The selling<br />

of our flowers stopped for the two<br />

weeks of level 4 but at level 3 we<br />

were able to limit the financial<br />

damage and operate as a drive<br />

through florist and flower retailer.<br />

This has worked very well,<br />

and we would like to sincerely<br />

thank our loyal clients who have<br />

supported us through this very<br />

difficult time<br />

We hope to see many of you<br />

on race day <strong>September</strong> 18th<br />

and periodically as you call in at<br />

Aromaunga for flowers to brighten<br />

your day.<br />

owner has a good car; but I sure<br />

do miss it.<br />

It’s partly because of that<br />

Altezza that I relate to Lexus’ IS<br />

series sedan, you see the Altezza<br />

was marketed in New Zealand<br />

by Lexus as an IS200 and IS300<br />

six-cylinder luxury/sports sedan<br />

during the early 2000s and it fast<br />

became the Lexus I enjoy the<br />

most – and it still is.<br />

The IS series sits at the<br />

lower end of Lexus’ price scale<br />

and it isn’t a big car, but its<br />

compact design fits well with the<br />

overall Lexus picture – luxury<br />

cars that also lean towards<br />

performance.<br />

Lexus also has a hefty hybrid<br />

manufacturing programme,<br />

almost all of its models have<br />

hybrid options and that includes<br />

the IS series.<br />

This evaluation focuses on the<br />

IS300h F Sport (h for hybrid),<br />

although if you aren’t quite ready<br />

for the change to hybrid power,<br />

the lovely 2-litre four-cylinder<br />

turbocharged engine is still in<br />

the books along with 3.5-litre V6<br />

power.<br />

The IS series has just had a<br />

fairly big makeover. The changes<br />

are too numerous to detail at<br />

length, but I can report the list is<br />

very comprehensive.<br />

The concept of the IS is still<br />

very much intact, it has all the<br />

ingredients that make it a very<br />

desirable sports sedan, made<br />

better through significant chassis<br />

fettering that has been made<br />

possible through race track<br />

development at Toyota and Lexus’<br />

new purpose-built test facility in<br />

Shimoyama, Japan.<br />

In terms of cost, the IS300h<br />

F Sport lists at $85,800, flanked<br />

by an entry-level hybrid at<br />

$76,200, and Limited at $88,300.<br />

For interest’s sake, the IS 2-litre<br />

turbo starts at $70,900, the range<br />

ending at $101,800 for the V6.<br />

These are respectable prices<br />

and, although they are very much<br />

out of my reach, I’m very mindful<br />

of where the IS sits in the Lexus<br />

line-up.<br />

The 300h is very much an<br />

integral part of the IS range as<br />

well, it’s there to satisfy those who<br />

like the idea of electric power<br />

along with those who want range<br />

in an electric car, the IS300h can<br />

travel up to 600km using the<br />

petrol engine at will.<br />

Bear in mind, though, the<br />

IS300h isn’t a plug-in. Its hybrid<br />

system is pretty much a carryover<br />

from previous generation models<br />

and that which first made its<br />

presence here in NZ – the<br />

driveline from Toyota’s Camry<br />

hybrid.<br />

EDGY: Four-door body style gives the IS300h a sleek sedan<br />

look.<br />

LEXUS IS300H: Hybrid system provides a petrol/electric range of over 600km.<br />

Even so, you can guarantee<br />

both companies have been<br />

working on efficiencies and the<br />

IS300h hybrid driveline is stateof-the-art,<br />

and effective. Lexus<br />

claims a 5.1-litre per 100km<br />

combined cycle average, which<br />

sits well with the 6.8l/100km<br />

figure sitting on the dash<br />

display readout when I took<br />

the evaluation car back to the<br />

dealership.<br />

What’s more, the IS300h feels<br />

like a true sports sedan, it has<br />

high power outputs of 133kW<br />

and 221Nm, and when you get<br />

the benefits of the battery power<br />

kicking in (31kW) there is solid<br />

impetus to be had. Lexus claims a<br />

standstill to 100km/h acceleration<br />

time of 7sec while it will also<br />

lunge through a highway overtake<br />

in 5sec (80-120km/h).<br />

I took the evaluation car on a<br />

long highway run through State<br />

Highway 72 (Scenic Route) to<br />

South Canterbury and enjoyed<br />

its freedom on those undulating<br />

roads, it’s the perfect touring<br />

car and one which fully involves<br />

those on-board. It doesn’t<br />

demand anything from the driver,<br />

but it does feel tightly connected<br />

to the road. I felt fresh after the<br />

excursion and satisfied that I<br />

had driven it in a way that many<br />

buyers would.<br />

In terms of handling, the<br />

IS300 steers purposefully on<br />

its low profile 19in Bridgestone<br />

tyres, turn-in is direct and sharp,<br />

while body movement over the<br />

• Performance – 0-100km/h,<br />

8.5sec<br />

• Fuel usage – 5.1l/100km<br />

suspension is minimal. That’s put<br />

down to the body sitting low at<br />

1.4m, there is little gravitational<br />

effect, and the balance within the<br />

chassis is sublime, while steering<br />

is like driving on velvet, such is<br />

the feel and feedback.<br />

Why the IS300 is such a<br />

deliberate handler also goes down<br />

its rear-wheel-drive platform,<br />

which provides a natural drive<br />

motion, there is solid push from<br />

the rear but there is balance and<br />

control at all times.<br />

Such is the firming of the<br />

spring and damper rates, the<br />

fully independent suspension<br />

keeps the wheels and tyres<br />

firmly in place on the road<br />

surface. That’s one of the reasons<br />

I like the IS series so much, that<br />

feel you get from rear-wheeldrive<br />

is one of involvement and<br />

enjoyment.<br />

Elsewhere, the IS300h is<br />

traditional to drive, the complex<br />

engine/motor combination drives<br />

through a continuously variable<br />

transmission that can be locked<br />

into pre-set steps using the<br />

steering wheel-mounted paddle<br />

shifters. If you want to be more<br />

involved in the driveline process<br />

there are drive modes that can<br />

be tailored to suit individual<br />

preferences, or sport and<br />

economy parameters, should you<br />

so wish.<br />

On my run south I used<br />

mostly normal mode and there<br />

was never a point where I felt<br />

more from the driveline was<br />

required, and if you need to brake<br />

in a hurry the pedal feel is simply<br />

forceful, the entire IS chassis has<br />

balance and makes you feel so<br />

much part of the car. It is one that<br />

is extremely competent when<br />

the challenging corners of New<br />

Zealand’s back roads are on offer.<br />

In true Lexus fashion, the<br />

IS300h is fully equipped, it gets<br />

all the specification for comfort<br />

and convenience, and safety,<br />

you would want in an 80k car,<br />

and that’s no surprise, Lexus is<br />

a car maker that challenges all<br />

the luxury/sporty brands. You<br />

can guarantee that what you buy<br />

will last forever and give you<br />

enormous satisfaction along the<br />

way.<br />

I enjoyed the IS300h so much<br />

that I’ve asked for a drive in either<br />

the turbo-four or V6; let’s hope<br />

that happens, it might make me<br />

feel less despondent about selling<br />

my old pride and joy.<br />
