Swing set dedicated to Reuben 

COLOUR: Ruth Markham-Short and Jeremy Smith with eight-week-old son Rupert at Redcliffs Park. The couple 

have donated a swing set in memory of their son Reuben (inset). 

• By Kristie Boland 

WHEN 23-month-old 

Reuben Smith died from 

meningococcal septicemia 

a year ago, the Redcliffs 

and Sumner communities 

rallied to raise money to 

support his parents, Ruth 

Markham-Short and Jeremy 

Smith. 

Now, that money has 

been donated back to the 

community in the form of a 

new swing set.

Akaroa 

wharf 

likely 

to be 

replaced 

AKAROA’S 134-year-old wharf 

may be replaced with a new 

structure. 

The replacement will cost 

$19.1 million and will be funded 

through the city council’s Long 

Term Plan. 

Work on the replacement 

wharf has been under way since a 

structural assessment of the iconic 

landmark in late 2018 found it 

was reaching the 

end of its viable 

life, and it was no 

longer possible 

or economical to 

keep repairing 

and maintaining 

it. 

City council 

head of parks 

Andrew 

Rutledge 

Andrew Rutledge said the council 

had been working in partnership 

with Ōnuku Rūnanga and talking 

to key stakeholders in Akaroa 

for several months about how to 

replace the wharf.

RUTH MARKHAM- 

SHORT and Jeremy Smith 

went through every parent’s 

nightmare a year ago: They 

lost their 23-month-old son 

Reuben to meningococcal 

septicemia. 

People in Sumner and Redcliffs 

rallied, raising $4800 to 

support the shattered couple. 

Now Ruth and Jeremy have 

given back to the community 

by using the money and some 

of their own to buy a swing set 

for Redcliffs Park for the community 

to use (see page 1). 

Why: Because Redcliffs Park 

was where Reuben loved to 

go. After navigating red tape 

to get permission, the purple 

news 

swing set – Reuben’s favourite 

colour – was installed over the 

weekend. 

“We wanted to do something 

meaningful with [the money]. 

We wanted to give back,” said 

Ruth. 

Such a nice gesture.

Clubhouse one step closer to new home 

Funding also allocated for church 

ALSO SUPPORTED with 

funding is a planned memorial 

dedicated to the now-demolished 

St Joseph the Worker Catholic 

Church in Lyttelton. 

Consecrated in 1865, St 

Joseph’s was the first Catholic 

stone church built in the South 

Island but was lost in the 2010-11 

earthquakes. 

The Friends of St Joseph the 

Worker Memorial Charitable 

Trust is fundraising to create a 

memorial to the building and its 

community. 

The city council’s sustainability 

and community resilience committee 

gave a $7490 grant to help 

the trust repair and restore the 

original iron gates, archway and 

railings, which have suffered 

damage and deterioration. 

These will be used to create a 

memorial along the Winchester 

St frontage where the church 

used to sit. 

Once built, the trust is planning 

a second project involving 

a memorial seat, information 

panels and a display of significant 

items, including two crucifixes 

and the church bell. 

HERITAGE: The clubhouse at its original site in Dampier Bay, Lyttelton. 

A CLUBHOUSE completed in 

1923 for the Canterbury Yacht 

and Motor Boat Club is one 

step closer to finding a new, 

permanent home beside the 

Governors Bay Jetty. 

It comes after a grant of $58,500 

was made by the city council’s 

sustainability and community 

resilience committee. 

The money will help with the 

cost of moving and upgrading 

the building. 

A familiar landmark in 

Dampier Bay for 80 years, the 

clubhouse has been used by the 

Sea Scouts, the Dampier Bay 

Maritime Club and many other 

groups. 

When the Lyttelton Port 

Company redeveloped the area it 

shifted the building off the water 

onto port land and sold it to four 

local supporters for $1. 

It was subsequently purchased 

by the Governors Bay Jetty Trust, 

which plans to renovate it for use 

as a community boat house. 

Once relocated, the building 

will be restored and repaired so 

it can begin life anew. Work will 

include new pile foundations in 

the water, conservation of the 

timber structure, electrical upgrades 

and new toilet facilities. 

The trust estimates the total 

cost of the works to be $405,000. 

The proposed new site itself 

has special significance as the 

place where craftsman and boat 

builder Lionel Jefcoate’s boat 

shed once stood.

demolition.

‘In some ways it has been healing for us’ 

• From page 1 

Ruth and Jeremy noticed Redcliffs 

Park where they used to 

take their son, needed new play 

equipment. They approached 

the Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board with their 

idea to donate a new swing. 

The purple swing set, Reuben’s 

favourite colour, was 

installed over the weekend. 

The community raised $4800 

for Ruth and Jeremy. That 

money was used to pay for the 

swings. 

“We wanted to do something 

meaningful with [the money]. 

We wanted to give back,” said 

Ruth. 

The swings are a way to say 

thank you to the Redcliffs and 

Sumner people who supported 

Ruth and Jeremy through the 

most difficult year of their lives. 

At 4am on December 17, 

Reuben awoke unwell. He had 

a temperature and showed 

signs of having a sore stomach. 

At 10am, Ruth and Jeremy 

took him to a medical centre. 

By noon, Reuben had a rash 

and was rushed to hospital to 

be treated for meningococcal 

septicemia, an infection of the 

bloodstream that causes organs 

to shut down. 

“It’s very fast moving. He went 

downhill very fast . . . it’s a bit 

like having your kid tied to the 

railway tracks and seeing the 

train coming and not being able 

to do anything about it,” Ruth 

said. 

The doctors and nurses did 

everything they could for Reuben 

but his body had begun to 

shut down and there is nothing 

more they could do. 

At 5.10pm that day, Reuben 

died. 

Up to 15 per cent of people 

carry the bacteria that cause 

meningococcal disease. The 

chances of Reuben dying from it 

were .0002 per cent his parents 

were told. 

After hearing about Reuben, a 

lot of the community have had 

their child vaccinated against 

meningococcal disease, Ruth 

said. 

“It’s too late for us, but if we 

can stop anyone else going 

through what we’ve been 

through.” 

Ruth and Jeremy said Reuben 

was “the dream of a child.” 

He was happy, cruisey, full energy 

and extremely observant. 

He loved exploring his world, 

loved animals and loved the 

sandpit, he came home from 

pre-school most days with sand 

in his pants. 

Reuben left an impression on 

a lot of people. His teachers at St 

James pre-school described him 

as one of the most relaxed kids 

they’d had. 

“We were proud of him, he 

was a really special child,” Ruth 

said. 

One of Reuben’s favourite 

things to do was play on the 

swings. 

The swing set now gives Ruth 

and Jeremy a place to go to remember. 

A plaque will go up for 

Reuben on the boulder placed in 

front of the swings 

“Its a gift from us but in some 

ways it has been healing for us,” 

Ruth said. 

Ruth and Jeremy will be able 

to take their eight-week-old son 

Rupert to play on the swings 

when he is older. 

Baby Rupert has helped his 

parents with the healing process. 

“A big part of me is gone, but 

since having Rupert, that big 

part of me that has been lost has 

come back,” said Jeremy. 

On Monday night, the family 

gathered at the park to remember 

Reuben, have a play and 

enjoy fish and chips. 

The one-year anniversary of 

Reuben’s passing is approaching. 

While this is a painful time 

for the family, the swings have 

given them something happy to 

focus on and celebrate.

“The current thinking is we 

will remove the existing wharf 

entirely before starting to rebuild 

on the same footprint, retaining 

the current length and width of 

the existing wharf in the new 

structure. 

“We will be improving structural 

capacity for loading and 

unloading on the new wharf, 

and looking to provide some 

additional capacity for vessels,” 

Rutledge said. 

It is proposed to raise the new 

wharf deck height by a minimum 

of 50cm, to allow for sea level rise 

and storm surges and to ensure 

the longevity and all weather use 

of the structure. 

Rutledge said the new wharf 

will not be a replica of the existing 

one, but be its own structure. 

“We’ll be using the best materials 

available for the conditions, 

which complement the 

local environment and take into 

consideration the longer-term 

maintenance costs. We’re also 

looking at how we can ensure the 

history of the wharf is captured 

and recorded, as well as collecting 

its intangible heritage including 

personal memories and stories 

from the community.” 

Alternative arrangements are 

being looked at for commercial 

operations – such as fishing 

vessels, mussel boats, businesses 

located on the wharf and cruise 

ships – during deconstruction of 

the old wharf and construction of 

the new one. 

“Elements from the wharf 

which have been identified as 

having high heritage significance 

will be salvaged wherever possible 

and we are exploring ways 

that some of these can be incorporated 

into the new structure or 

used for interpretation. 

“There may also be an opportunity 

for the community to access 

and use some of these salvaged 

materials for other projects in 

Akaroa and we’ll share details 


New wharf won’t be a replica 

NEW: The city council is proposing removing the Akaroa 

wharf in its entirety before starting on a replacement. 

about this as soon as we can.” 

Work on deconstructing 

the wharf and building the 

replacement is not due to start until 

2024, with some repairs expected 

to keep it operational during this 

time. 

Information sessions about 

what is being proposed will 

be held (Covid-19 restrictions 

permitting) on Wednesday at the 

Gaiety Hall, Akaroa, between 

3pm and 7pm, and on January 19 

in the function room at the Civic 

Offices, Hereford St, between 

4pm and 6pm. 

THE REDCLIFFS Residents 

Association is “extremely 

disappointed” with the decision 

against removing the rocks at 

Clifton beach. 

The group, which has been 

advocating for the removal of the 

rocks for more than two years, 

said the beach is nothing like it 

used to be before. 

The rocks were brought to the 

surface of the beach following 

construction along the Coastal 

Pathway and Main Rd. 

In 2019 the city council sieved 

the excess sand and removed 

rocks more than 100mm from 

the site, however, the Redcliffs 

Residents Association said there 

were still rocks present. 

The decision comes after the 

Linwood-Central-Heathcote 


NEWS 5 

DISAPPOINTING: Rocks will remain on Clifton beach near 

the Coastal Pathway. 

Rocks to stay on beach 

Community Board met with the 

Christchurch Coastal Pathway 

Group [the group]. 

During the meeting the group 

advised the board that the rocks 

“are not going to be a problem 

in the future and it would be 

pointless to remove the rocks and 

a waste of council’s funds.” 

However, Redcliffs Residents 

Association chairwoman Christine 

Toner said the beach can’t 

be enjoyed like it was before as 

the rocks prevent people from 

walking along it. 

“People would sit on the beach 

in the sun and enjoy the smooth 

sand but now that’s not possible,” 

she said. 

“It seems they’ve washed their 

hands of a problem they’ve 

caused.”

New hoops bring back basketballers 


BOUNCE: New youth workers Sunbeam Hope (left) and Eve Mickell with Lyttelton 

Recreation Centre manager Nathan Mauger and volunteer Joseph Tyro, in front of the 

new basketball hoops that were recently installed at the centre. 

BRAND NEW basketball 

hoops is what it took to attract 

a significant number of new 

faces to the Lyttelton Recreation 

Centre. 

Nathan Mauger, recently 

appointed manager at the centre, 

noticed there was a lot of keen 

basketballers in the community, 

but after taking a look at the 

existing backboards and hoops 

realised they were from when he 

was in his youth – about 30 years 

ago – and were well and truly 

“past their last legs.” 

He arranged for the new 

basketball hoops, which were 

sponsored by the Lyttelton Port 

Company. Within 24 hours of 

the hoops being put up, local 

teenagers were playing basketball 

for hours on end, Mauger said. 

A basketball programme has 

also been developed and runs on 

Thursdays for ages 16 and up. 

“It’s all self-managed, no refs, 

just an honesty system. We ask 

for a koha on the day and we 

just make up teams and play. It’s 

really relaxed, but you get a good 

run for a couple of hours,” said 

Mauger. 

The recreation centre, in 

conjunction with Pioneer 

Basketball Club, also ran a 

programme for 13-16 yearolds 

recently and will have 

a competition, the All Star 

tournament, on December 16. 

Mauger, a former Crusader, 

said having a space for residents 

to come in and be active was 

important, with the ultimate 

objective to encourage people to 

get healthy through exercise and 

sport. 

He is following in the footsteps 

of his late mother Christine, who 

started a youth programme in 

Lyttelton in the early 1990s and 

later became chairwoman of the 

Lyttelton community board. 

South Canterbury DHB 

Director of Māori Health Joseph 

Tyro grew up in Lyttelton 

and went along to the youth 

programme every week. 

In 2006, he was a youth leader 

in Lyttelton and continues to 

volunteer there and is now 

on the board of the Lyttelton 

Recreation Trust, which runs the 

recreation centre and the youth 

programme. 

Tyro said it’s important to keep 

young people connected and give 

them a space to stay active. 

“It’s about relationship, 

connection, fitness and more,” 

he said. 

Tyro said the trust is hoping 

to start up a new leadership and 

wellness programme early 

next year.

Who Lived There? 

the stories Behind Historic new Zealand Buildings 

By nicola mccloy and Jane King 

You can’t help but wonder about the stories behind the unusual buildings 

you see around New Zealand - from cute colonial cottages to abandoned 

industrial buildings or ghost towns. Nicola McCloy went looking to find out ... 

who lived there? 

From basic stone cottages in barren-looking countryside to pretty coastal 

villas, romantic churches and small-town taverns, New Zealand is full of 

buildings whose back stories have been lost over the generations. With 

beautiful photographs by Jane King, supplemented with historic shots to 

show how little or how much some of these places have changed. 

Victory over Death 

the art of colin mccahon 

by rex Butler and laurence simmons 

Perhaps at the origin of all thinking about culture lies the question of the afterlife. The 

artist makes their work hoping that it will live on after their death. The critic reads or 

looks at the work wondering whether a future audience will engage with it. Victory 

over Death: The Art of Colin McCahon takes up this question of the afterlife of the 

work of art by looking at the work of the New Zealand painter Colin McCahon, who 

is often described as one of the most important Australasian artists of the twentieth 

century. Imagine for a moment being a great artist in faraway and culturally 

marginal New Zealand in the 1950s. The audience for your work does not yet exist. 

You are destined to die unknown. So, what does McCahon do? He makes work - 

as do all the artists we remember - for a future audience.

inspirational Gardens and inspired Gardeners of new 

Zealand 

by Juliet nicholas 

Magnificent gardens of different types from all around New Zealand, with entertaining 

stories on their origin, inspiration and development - all stunningly photographed.

everyone. The stories of their inspirational founders and developers are told simply 

and informatively, and bring the gardens to life. Several of the gardens have been 

developed by siblings, partners or families, all drawing strength and ideas from each 

other. After reading this book you won’t know which urge is stronger - to get outside 

and do some gardening, or plan a tour of inspirational gardens of New Zealand. 

Soldiers: Great Stories of War and Peace 

by max Hastings 

Soldiers is a collection of the very best stories about soldiers. In his almost 

sixty years of military study and his work in the midst of modern conflicts 

as a foreign correspondent, these are the stories that left a mark. In these 

pages you will find heroes and cowards; triumphs, tragedies and comedies. 

It illustrates, mostly through people’s own words, what it’s been like to fight 

in wars, to live and die as a warrior, from Greek and Roman times through to 

today’s Iraq and Afghanistan. There are more than 300 stories in all, and an 

astounding variety of soldiers’ experiences through the ages. This is a book 

that might make you feel as grateful that whatever the troubles of our own 

times, we are spared the mud and blood and anguish, if also the moments 

of glory, that the soldiers in these pages bring so vividly to life.

Sales and marketing consultant Marilyn Still has presented Sumner 

Bowling Club president Gary Marshall with the first of possibly several 

cheques as part of an ongoing promotion with Bayleys, Ferrymead. 

The promotion means if a member of the club or someone referred 

by them results in an unconditional sale, Still will donate $1000 to the 

club. Marshall said the club has not yet decided what the money will go 

towards, but they are very grateful for the ongoing promotion.

Mural recognises sacred site 


AFTER A year in the making, 

a mural for Lyttelton’s new 

community creative space – Te 

Puna Auaha – was unveiled over 

the weekend. 

The site of 

the mural, on 

7 Norwich 

Quay, is 

a sacred 

historical site 

for hapu and 

iwi. When 

Hēmi Korako 

foundations 

on the site 

were removed 

in 2012, due to the February 22, 

2011, earthquake, it revealed 

the remains of a pre-European 

contact Māori oven and midden 

deposits, including a broken 

adze. 

Artist Hēmi Korako, 24, took 

the significance of the site into 

consideration when he designed 

the mural. 

“The site is significant for its 

association with Māori occupation 

of this area and gives today 

a glimpse back into the past,” 

Korako said. 

The painting forms the shape 

of an eye and represents past, 

present and future. 

Korako was inspired by the 

Māori proverb (Whakatauki): 

Kia Whakatōmuri Te Haere 

Whakamua which means: I walk 

SIGNIFICANT: A Lyttelton mural that forms the shape of an eye and represents past, 

present and future was unveiled over the weekend. 

backwards into the future with 

my eyes fixed on my past. 

Korako explains the meaning 

behind the painting: “The past 

is central to this piece being the 

circle representing the spiritual 

realm of Te Ao Māori before 

contact of outsider influence. It’s 

acknowledging the environmental 

forces that connect Māori to 

our gods and the spiritual world. 

Its about recognising and being 

grounded within the Māori 

world view, culture and history. 

“In the centre it has three koru’s 

that represent the three main 

streams of migration that share 

a connection to Whakaraupo 

and make up our Iwi as we know 

today and they are Waitaha, Kati 

Mamoe and Kai Tahu. 

“Then the present is flowing 

out into the physical realm as 

we know today, with both Māori 

and Pakeha influence. Lastly, behind 

all that is the future being 

celestial where the spiritual and 

physical meet and join together 

into the poutama pattern to create 

the future unfolding.” 

Korako is the son of former 

National MP Nuk Korako and 

his wife Christine. He was born 

and raised in Rāpaki O Te Rakiwhakaputa 

The 24-year-old artist who also 

works in conservation as a field 

officer has always had a passion 

for creativity. 

“I won’t box myself in and 

say I’m just a painter as I think 

being a creative person, it 

branches out into all aspects of 

life just like any other human 

and that’s how it should be,” 

Korako said. 

His passion and creativity 

has evolved since he was a 

child. 

“True creativity to me is a style 

or essence that everyone has and 

it’s how they choose to express 

themselves, to show who they are 

in the truest sense.’’ 

Korako encourages others to 

create what they want too. 

“Self creation is self awareness 

and therefore true creativity 

is a process of understanding 

yourself more for real,” he said.

Treasures from the past: 

Harbour master John Clark 

Carl Bonniface shares the 

story of his great, great 

grandfather Captain John 

William Clark 

The Clark family, many of 

whom were seamen, emigrated 

from Scotland to Tasmania in 

the early 1800s. John William 

was born in Hobart in July 1834; 

like many young men of that era 

he ran away to sea at a young 

age, first sailing between San 

Francisco and Australia, then 

onto steamers and service under 

Captain McMeekan. 

Captain Clark commanded 

the Tarama, the Gilliesborg, the 

Albion, the Alama Hamilton and 

the Rungasooma. In 1862, aged 

28, he was issued a special pilots 

licence by the New South Wales 

Government, appointing him 

Pilot of Sydney Harbour (then 

known as Port Jackson). Later, 

he was master of the ship the 

Chariot of Fame, which brought 

colonial troops to the Waikato 

Wars on 7 October 1863. 

In 1866, Captain Clark 

joined the intercolonial trading 

company McMeekan and 

Blackwood of Melbourne. When 

the firm was taken over by the 

Union Steamship Company in 

1879, he came to Lyttelton as 

master of the steam paddle tug 

Lyttelton. 

In 1885, Captain Clark became 

harbour and dock master for the 

Lyttelton Harbour Board, taking 

over from the first harbour 

master, Captain Hugh McLellan, 

who had held that office 

since 1877. 

Clark famously sued the 

Christchurch Press for libel for an 

anonymous letter which claimed 

that he “was grossly overpaid 

– annoying and disturbing 

the ships’ masters at port, 

discourteous and irritating”. 

https://collection. 

canterburymuseum.com/ 

objects/709326/macdonalddictionary-record-johnwilliam-clark 

Clark won the case and was 

awarded 25 pounds damages 

and the chance to clear his 

reputation. 

When Clark died in 1909 at the 

age of 75, flags on all the steamers 

in port and at the harbour 

master’s office were flown at half 

mast. 

https://paperspast. 

natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/ 

CHP19090705.2.44 

He was survived by his wife 

Ellen, who died in 1944 at the 

great age of 97. Their house at 

3 Exeter St is still standing 

today. 

•Many thanks 

to Bonniface 

for sharing his 

family history.

Shops bursting with 

festive gift ideas 

The countdown to the big day is well underway, so making up the 

Christmas gift list will now be a top priority… if you haven’t already done so. 

Finding those special gifts and stocking fillers as 

well as the Christmas treats for the table is so easy at 

our city’s malls and shopping centres, where the shops 

are bursting with festive merchandise. 

Every woman likes to receive body pampering 

gifts, and there is a huge selection of these priced 

to suit all budgets at the many pharmacies and gift 

shops around the city. Perfume is another favourite 

and again there is a wide selection to choose from, 

ranging from exciting new releases to the well-known 

fragrances that have stood the test of time. Lingerie, 

jewellery, fashion accessories, homewares and decor 

items – there’s no end to the ideas for the women on 

the list. 

The men are equally well catered for, from the 

sophisticated metro-male boyfriends, to the car-crazy 

brothers and the DIY enthusiast and keen gardener 

husbands and dads. Choose from clothing, books, 

tools, personal grooming items and gadgets to put a 

smile on their face on Christmas morning. 

Speaking of smiles, nothing gives families more joy 

than seeing the excitement of the children opening 

their presents. Whether they are delivered by Santa 

or snuck under the tree by mum and dad, the cuddly 

toys, games, dolls and building blocks, the candy 

canes, toy trucks and pretty dresses currently filling 

the shops will bring squeals of sheer happiness from 

the smallest family members. 

The tweens and teens usually have their own ideas 

about what they want for Christmas, so the gift cards 

offered by a wide range of retailers are the perfect way 

to please.

Start a new 

Christmas tradition 

What could be better than starting some new family traditions this year? Christmas traditions are memories 

in the making and help spread a little festive cheer whether with your loved ones or out in the community. 

10 great ideas to help make Christmas a magical time of the year 

1. Create a Christmas playlist with some of 

your favourite carols and songs – play it 

loud and every day, if that’s your thing. 

Or plan a pre-Christmas sing-along 

evening – don’t forget to supply the song 

sheet so everyone can join in too. 

2. Get into the spirit of Christmas by getting 

together with family or friends to help 

decorate each other’s houses – turn up 

the music, drink the wine and go all out 

to deck the halls. 

3. Make and send homemade Christmas 

cards – there’s nothing more exciting 

than getting mail, right? Or how about 

writing some generic ones and dropping 

them into your nearest retirement 

home to brighten up an elderly person’s 

Christmas. 

4. Buy your family Christmas tee-shirts or 

Santa hats to wear on the day and don’t 

forget to take a family selfie. 

5. Fill a shoebox with gifts for a child, wrap 

it with a bow, and deliver to the nearest 

community gift tree – check with your 

local library and label with age and 

gender. 

6. Have a yearly family, friends or neighbour 

outdoor games night with drinks and 

nibbles leading up to the big day – think 

Pétanque, hoopla, mini golf, giant chess, 

or croquet. 

7. Take a leaf out of Iceland’s traditional 

‘Jolabokaflod’ or Christmas Book Flood, 

and give a book as a gift on Christmas 

Eve each year – don’t forget to write 

inside the cover who it’s from and the 

date. 

8. Make a list of must see Christmas movies 

to watch a week before Christmas day 

and tick off the ones you’ve watched. 

Don’t forget the popcorn and hot 

chocolate or nibbles and wine. 

9. Make and give a handmade ornament 

as a gift each year – the lucky receiver’s 

Christmas tree will be covered with 

beautiful, handmade memories. 

10. Make homemade hot chocolate on 

Christmas Eve or on Christmas morning 

to drink while the presents are being 

opened – decorate with whipped cream, 

grated chocolate, marshmallows, or 

crushed candy canes.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas 

Christmas is a great time for passing down recipes that are tried and true becoming 

traditional family favourites. The owner of this recipe says her mum used to make 

the pudding on Christmas Eve and would take the bowl and wooden spoon around 

everyone in the house to stir the mixture and make a wish. 

Make a Wish Christmas Pudding 

You will need: 

• 1 ½ tbsp butter 

• 1 ½ tsp baking soda 

• 1 ½ cups of boiling water 

• 1 ½ cups flour 

• 1 ½ cups mixed fruit or sultanas 

• ¾ cup sugar 

Method: 

1. In a glass or stainless steel bowl, 

melt the butter (over hot water) 

and dissolve the baking soda. 

2. Add the boiling water and 

sugar. 

3. When cool, add flour and 

mixed fruit. 

4. Stir all the ingredients together 

and make a Christmas wish. 

5. Cover bowl with a tea towel and 

allow to stand overnight. 

The next day: 

• Place mixture into a greased 

bowl or ice-cream container, 

cover with tinfoil and place in a 

pot of water, just deep enough 

so the bowl doesn’t float. 

• Boil pudding for four hours and 

check regularly to make sure 

the water has boiled dry. Top 

up carefully with extra water if 

required. 

• Serve with heaps of Chantilly 

cream! 

We are open 

Chantilly 

Cream 

You will need: 

• 1 x bottle of cream 

• ½ tsp vanilla essence 

• 1 tbsp icing sugar to 

sweeten 

Method: 

Put cream, vanilla essence 

and icing sugar in a bowl and 

whisk until light and fluffy with 

softly formed peaks. Cover and 

refrigerate until ready to serve. 

One piece is never enough!

to a renovation or alternatively a 

development site for a new home - the 

choice will be yours. Do not miss this 

chance to purchase in the desirable

Mazda takes EVs to a new level 

THE ARRIVAL of the Mazda3 

hybrid last year was just the start 

of the company’s foray into electric 

vehicle production. 

Mazda doesn’t do things halfheartedly, 

their hybrid programme 

has been extended to a radical new 

vehicle that has just landed in New 

Zealand, it is badged the MX-30 

and design-wise it would sit in 

the sport utility vehicle category, 

but its cheeky, squat appearance 

could also have it seen as a cutesy 

hatchback. 

Probably the most significant 

thing about the MX-30’s design is 

the freestyle rear doors; put simply, 

they open rearwards offering access 

to the rear seats. Three occupants 

can be seated there, there are three 

seat belts, but it is a little bit of a 

squeeze for adults. Mazda, is no 

stranger to this type of design, the 

RX-8 had them along with some 

extended cab Bounty utes. 

It’s not just the look of the 

MX-30 that captures attention, 

the hybrid model has been joined 

by a completely electric version, 

whereas the hybrid has a 2-litre 

petrol engine as well as an electric 

motor, a system utilised in the 

Mazda3, this evaluation focuses 

on the exciting all-electric plug-in 

version, a car that tells you Mazda 

is serious about caring for the 

environment in this age where 

buyers are demanding electric 

vehicles in a bid to combat climate 

change. 

The all-electric MX-30 lists at 

$74,990, for interest’s sake the 

hybrid sits at $46,790, both are 

competitive in a market where 

electric power is finding its 

happy position in terms of 

pricing. The full $8625 clean car 

rebate is available on the all-electric 

variant. 

Both are high grade models, 

Limited for the hybrid and 

Takami for the all-electric. Takami 

represents everything Mazda can 

build into the model, the trim and 

fitment is as you would expect from 

Mazda these days, it is beautifully 

finished and care and quality are 

the manufacturing hallmarks. 

In terms of specification the 

Takami wants for nothing, there 

is satellite navigation, keyless 

entry and power switch, full 

leather trim with heated seats and 

heated steering wheel, advanced 

infotainment network, active 

driving and head-up display, 

electric sunroof, Bose audio, 

and the full suite of Mazda’s 

i-ActiveSense safety technology, 

the latter contributing to a five-star 

Australasian New Car Assessment 

Program rating. 

Mazda has made it easy to 

understand the way the MX- 

30 charges. There are three 

fundamental procedures. If you 

buy an MX-30 it will come with 

what Mazda label a ‘wallbox.’ It’s 

a device you would need to have 

installed on a wall connected 

STYLING: The Mazda MX-30 is a compact sport utility 

vehicle with bold design cues. 

MAZDA MX-30: High level of fitment in Takami specification. 

directly to your home’s electrical 

circuit, it also stores the cable. 

That way it’s just a simple matter 

of grabbing the cable and plugging 

into the car. There’s also the option 

of a three-pin domestic plug cable 

and a type 2 DC cable that you 

would use at an external rapid 

charging station. 

Mazda claims a 224km travelling 

distance for the MX-30, slightly 

more if you drive in an eco-friendly 

manner, slightly less if the car 

is under load. From empty the 

MX-30 should gather a full charge 

in around five hours using the 

wallbox. By my reckoning they 

are user-friendly figures, easily 

enough for the daily commute and 

a weekend trip to visit relatives in 

the urban townships. 

As part of my evaluation I drove 

from the city to Burnham and back 

home through Lincoln, the energy 

storage gauge was showing threequarters 

when I left, and there 

was about one-third charge left 

when I got home after the 90km 

return journey. I thought that was 

generous because where possible I 

cruised at the legal speed limits so 

it was an exercise where maximum 

drain would have been taking 

place. 

Driving the MX-30 requires little 

special technique, you just push 

D on the drive selector and away 

• Price – Mazda MX-30 

Takami, $74,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4395mm; width, 1795mm; 

height, 1555mm 

• Configuration – Electric 

motor, front-wheel-drive, 

107kW, 271Nm, automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 9.2sec 

you go, quite swiftly I add. There’s 

107kW on offer and a healthy 

torque figure of 271Nm, both 

available from a standstill, if you 

push hard you can reach 100km/h 

in 9.2sec, acceleration is swift and, 

of course, silent. 

The feel of energy you get is 

quite satisfying, power is instant 

and unfaltering, transition of 

motion is seamless and quite 

unlike what you get with internal 

combustion engines. Don’t get me 

wrong, I love petrol power but I 

can see why drivers like the pull 

you get from electric motors, 

there is a strong feeling of 

movement. 

I pushed hard into a couple 

of tight corners near Burnham 

and can report that MX-30 has 

definite steering feel and precise 

turn-in. Drive is through the front 

wheels so the handling is much 

the norm we have come to expect 

from today’s SUVs, nevertheless 

directional accuracy is forceful 

and grip from the low profile 

Bridgestone tyres (215/55 x 18in) is 

enhanced. 

The MX-30 utilises a front-strut/ 

rear torsion beam suspension 

set-up, much the same as we have 

experienced in Mazda3 and it 

works well given its simplicity, 

the spring and damper rates are 

certainly biased towards comfort. 

That’s not saying handling is 

compromised, it’s not, the MX-30 

sits low at 1.5m and much of the 

weight is carried low down in the 

subframe so that gravitational 

movement is low. 

In my introduction I mentioned 

some of the design aspects of the 

MX-30, it’s very different to what 

we would deem mainstream. If 

there was one thing that stands 

out for me it is the cork material 

that lines the centre console, it’s a 

standout and, according to Mazda, 

durable and sustainable. 

That’s the direction Mazda is 

heading, if you are a MX-30 buyer 

you will be responsible for five 

trees being planted in this country, 

that’s another one of Mazda’s 

commitments to environmental 

care. Just another reason to make 

an electric car your choice in the 

future.

Canterbury, we need 

to talk about our 

changing climate. 

Climate change is already affecting our 

local communities and ecosystems. It is 

not an easy or small topic. That’s why our 

local and regional councils have pooled 

resources, knowledge and expertise to 

help people understand, prepare for and 

adapt to changes that Canterbury is likely 

to experience. 

The It’s time, Canterbury website is home 

to reputable information and resources. 

Explore these pages to learn about what 

changes are expected here in Canterbury, 

and pick up some ideas about how you 

can help minimise, and adapt to, the 

impacts of climate change. 

What is climate change? 

Over many years, scientists and tohunga 

have learnt a lot about Earth’s climate 

system. We know that recent changes 

in the climate are widespread, rapid, 

and intensifying, and unprecedented 

in thousands of years. 

As Earth’s temperature 

continues to rise, it causes 

changes in rainfall, weather 

patterns, and the frequency 

of extreme events, as well 

as ice melt and sea level 

rise. This results in a range 

of effects we experience in 

our natural environment 

and the areas we live in. 

Climate change in Canterbury 

If we carry on as usual, and greenhouse 

gas emissions continue to increase, 

average temperatures in Canterbury are 

projected to increase by up to 3.5°C by 

the end of the century. The likelihood 

of drought conditions is also projected 

to increase, and fire risk will increase as 

soils and plants become drier. 

Alongside drought, we can expect 

wetter winters in many eastern, western 

and southern parts of Canterbury, 

with up to 40% more rain. 

What’s being done? 

The more we learn about the challenges 

associated with climate change in 

Canterbury, the more we can use our 

knowledge to make wise decisions. 

Councils are thinking differently about 

biodiversity, water availability, flood 

protection, coastal erosion, energy, 

land, urban design, infrastructure 

and industry so you, your whānau, your 

community or your business can be 

supported to better understand and 

proactively respond. Mō tātou, ā, mō 

kā uri, ā muri ake nei – for us, and our 

children after us. 

If we work together to reduce emissions, 

we can collectively limit the amount of 

warming in Canterbury/Waitaha. 

Can I really make a difference? 

Absolutely! The easiest thing you can 

do is be informed and become part of 

the conversation. Make sure you have 

verifiable facts to base your discussions 

and actions on and talk with others 

about what you know. 

On the It’s time, Canterbury website, 

you can show and share your support 

simply by putting your name to the 

cause, as well as learn about projected 

changes in your district. 

For those who want to act, there are 

ideas showing how simple changes can 

support New Zealand’s commitment 

to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, 

because everyone has a role to play, 

and it starts at itstimecanterbury.co.nz. 

We’re here to help you understand, manage and prepare for more changes Canterbury is likely to face in the future. 

Because as well as taking action to reduce the impacts of climate change, we need to ready ourselves to adapt to them. 

itstimecanterbury.co.nz 

It’s time to talk 

about climate change, 

Canterbury. 

It’s time, Canterbury is climate friendly - learn more on our website.
