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 />

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 />

PRICE<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 />

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 />

club.<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 />

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 />
gorgeous days in Ōhinehou<br />
Lyttelton and the wider harbour,<br />
alongside more stormy days<br />
that remind us the season is as<br />
changeable as lockdown levels.<br />
This photograph from the<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 />
photographs and archival<br />
resources; over 10,000 of which<br />
have been recorded digitally<br />
and are available to view online<br />

collection<br />
If you know anything about<br />
the individual items, please let us<br />

Once the proposed new<br />

the collection will be curated<br />
and displayed under six main<br />
themes:<br />
• Mana Whenua<br />
• Colonial Canterbury<br />
• Lyttelton local<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 />

Hybrid Lexus still a true sports sedan<br />
I KNEW I’D eventually regret it,<br />
selling a perfectly good car.<br />
But that’s par for the course,<br />
almost all of the vehicles I’ve<br />
owned and passed over through<br />
the years, I wish I’d kept. Such is<br />
the case with my Toyota Altezza,<br />
an opportunity came along that<br />
was too good to turn down and<br />
I’m relaxed knowing its new<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 />
• Price – Lexus IS300h,<br />

• Dimensions – Length,<br />

• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<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 />
