“YOU’RE IN IT for life” as<br />
the saying goes among surf<br />
lifesavers and so far this has<br />
been true for Danny Schefer.<br />
When Schefer and his family<br />
moved to Sumner from England<br />
13 years ago, his parents joined<br />
the whole family up to Taylors<br />
Mistake Surf Life Saving Club to<br />
learn more about the ocean and<br />
how to stay safe.<br />
“We came from the middle<br />
of England where there’s no<br />
beaches so we’d never really had<br />
too much to do with the sea,”<br />
Schefer said. • Turn to page 6<br />
Plan to<br />
stop using<br />
coal on<br />
historic<br />
tug boat<br />
• By Kristie Boland<br />
THE HISTORIC Tug Lyttelton<br />
may move away from using coal<br />
to an environmentally-friendly<br />
fuel.<br />
The Tug Lyttelton Preservation<br />
Society is looking into new options<br />
to power the 115-year-old<br />
boat, one of oldest operating<br />
steam-powered vessels in the<br />
world.<br />
Society president Mike Bruce<br />
said up to 60-tonne of coal is used<br />
a year to run the vessel.<br />
“We’ve got to change, we want<br />
to run the ship for another 100<br />
years, we won’t do that on coal,<br />
we’ve got to move away, it has to<br />
be done,” he said.<br />
But the costs of converting<br />
from a coal-fired vessel to a more<br />
environmentally-friendly option<br />
are high.<br />
“We are well aware we have<br />
got to do something but we are<br />
not self-sustainable, we can’t<br />
fund ourselves through the year<br />
from passenger sales so need to<br />
go and get grants from Rata, pub<br />
charities, the Heritage Society and<br />
others.”<br />

Estuary penguins under<br />
threat from mauling dogs<br />
• By Kristie Boland<br />
LITTLE BLUE penguins on the<br />
estuary continue to be attacked<br />
by dogs.<br />
Two were killed near Redcliffs<br />
in December,<br />
but the<br />
number is<br />
likely to be<br />
higher Avon-<br />

Tanya Jenkins<br />
said.<br />
She is urging<br />
dog owners to follow the rules<br />
and not allow their pets onto the<br />
mudflats in the estuary where<br />
penguins gather.<br />
Jenkins also said dogs were<br />
continuing to harass other<br />
birdlife, particularly on the<br />
Southshore side of the estuary.<br />
Signage along the estuary<br />
states that the mudflats are a ‘no<br />
go’ zone for dogs but some local<br />
residents continue to ignore the<br />
rules, she said.<br />
“During December another<br />
two little blue penguins were<br />
mauled by dogs around Redcliffs<br />
and if these two birds were<br />
found, there is a high chance the<br />
numbers are much higher when<br />
mauled birds are taken away by<br />
the tides,” Jenkins said.<br />
“Even if [birds] are not killed<br />
by dogs, the disturbance by dogs<br />
running on the mudflats can be<br />
life threatening.”<br />
Birds can only feed on the<br />
mudflats during peak low tide<br />
which allows for a short window<br />
of only a few hours for them to<br />
eat enough to last them the day.<br />
Being disturbed by dogs can<br />
significantly cut down this time.<br />
“If in this short time they<br />
are scared, chased by dogs,<br />
it can take up to 45 minutes<br />
before they regain the courage<br />
to continue eating again,” said<br />
Jenkins.<br />
“Don’t get me wrong, I love<br />
OUT OF CONTROL: Dogs<br />
off the lead are chasing<br />
birds and killing penguins.<br />
dogs and have been a dog owner<br />
since I was <strong>12</strong>-years-old but it’s<br />
just such a shame that some dog<br />
owners are just not aware of the<br />
rules or simply do not wish to<br />
abide.”<br />
The trust is urging local<br />
residents to help make dog<br />
owners aware of the rules and to<br />
report those who ignore them to<br />
the city council.<br />

IMPACT OF SEA LEVEL<br />
RISE SURVEY<br />
The city council has created<br />
a survey for the Lyttelton<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> and Port Levy area<br />
communities it hopes will help<br />
to inform long-term planning<br />
as part of the council’s Coastal<br />
Hazards Adaptation Planning<br />
programme. Low-lying inland<br />
and coastal communities will<br />
be increasingly impacted by<br />
intense storm events and longterm<br />
sea level rise leading to<br />
more frequent and severe coastal<br />
flooding, coastal erosion, and<br />
rising groundwater. The focus<br />
area of the project is between<br />
Lyttelton and Port Levy. The<br />
survey is to help understand the<br />
risk tolerance of communities<br />
in the event of prolonged loss of<br />
road access due to the impacts of<br />
sea level rise.<br />

In <strong>2022</strong>, parents and caregivers will<br />
be able to get their 5 to 11-year-olds<br />
immunised against COVID-19<br />
Some tamariki get very ill from catching<br />
COVID-19 and immunisation is one of<br />
the best ways to protect them.<br />
Immunisation is an important way we keep tamariki safe,<br />
like being sun smart or wearing a seatbelt.<br />
It protects your tamariki from many serious diseases<br />
and stops disease spreading within your whānau and the<br />
community. In Aotearoa, tamariki get free vaccinations<br />
against <strong>12</strong> diseases, including whooping cough (pertussis),<br />
measles and polio.<br />
Safety of the COVID-19 vaccine<br />
The child (paediatric) Pfizer vaccine has gone through<br />
the same rigorous approval process as other routine<br />
childhood immunisations. No clinical trials were skipped<br />
and no corners were cut in the testing of its safety.<br />
The Pfizer vaccine for 5 to 11-year-olds has been through<br />
clinical trials with children in this age group. In general,<br />
the side effects that were reported were mild, didn’t last<br />
long, and were similar to side effects from other routine<br />
immunisations.<br />
Take time this summer to get the information and advice you need to make the best<br />
decision for your tamariki. Find out more at:<br />

Funding key to long-term options<br />
• From page 1<br />
Bruce said the society is looking<br />
into a range of options, one<br />
of those being powering the ship<br />
with bio fuel.<br />
Bio fuel is fuel that can be produced<br />
from, or are made up of a<br />
renewable material like wood.<br />
Bruce estimates the conversion<br />
cost of going from coal to bio fuel<br />
is $40,000. Double the amount of<br />
wood needs to be used to achieve<br />
the same amount of energy as<br />
coal.<br />
Another option, that could be<br />
run in conjunction with bio fuel,<br />
is to have an electric pre-heater<br />
to pre-heat the boiler. This would<br />
cost another $80,000.<br />
Wood has less greenhouse<br />
gas associated with it than the<br />
average electricity greenhouse<br />
gas footprint. If battery powered,<br />
it will be the “oldest vessel in the<br />
world running the newest technology,”<br />
Bruce said.<br />
However, these may only be<br />
short-term options. Whatever<br />
decision is made will be based on<br />
the funding available to them.<br />
“[It’s] based on what funding<br />
we can get. If we get a million<br />
dollars we’ll go pretty much go<br />
straight to hydrogen, if we get<br />
$50,000 we’ll go straight to bio<br />
fuel and if we get $150,000 we’ll<br />
go to bio fuel and an electric<br />
pre-heater,” Bruce said.<br />
“We’ve got to get off coal, but<br />
we’re not going to get off coal<br />
without funding.”<br />
Bruce said they will be sourcing<br />
expert advice on the next<br />
steps for the ship.<br />
‘We’ve got to change, we<br />
want to run the ship for<br />
another 100 years’<br />
– Mike Bruce<br />
“I want three or four plans in<br />
place and costed out then we can<br />
run to the grant people and other<br />
agencies and say okay with this<br />
much we can do this with this<br />
much we can do that.”<br />
“A lot of people love this vessel,<br />
it’s got a lot of history for Lyttelton,<br />
it’s probably one of the oldest<br />
historic vessels in the world, we<br />
need to keep it going but it does<br />
need to change.”<br />
Sunday was the first public<br />
sailing of the season for the tug<br />
and it will continue to sail every<br />
Sunday at 2.30pm, weather<br />
permitting, until Easter weekend<br />
in April.<br />
PLANS: Mike Bruce says<br />
the The Tug Lyttelton<br />
Preservation Society is<br />
sourcing expert advice on<br />
how to fuel the vessel in<br />
the future.<br />

Love of ocean and helping people<br />
• From page 1<br />
The now 21-year-old Canterbury<br />
University student is a<br />
patrol captain on both volunteer<br />
and paid guard, a beach education<br />
instructor and a member of<br />
the 24/7 search and rescue squad<br />
in Sumner.<br />
From age eight to 13, Schefer<br />
was a part of the junior surf<br />
programme, also known as the<br />
‘nippers’. At 13, he completed the<br />
rookie lifeguard programme. At<br />
14, he gained his surf lifeguard<br />
award and then at 16, the senior<br />
lifeguard award – inflatable rescue<br />
boat driver.<br />
Now, each season, Schefer<br />
works full-time during the<br />
week as a paid regional lifeguard<br />
and spends his weekends<br />
volunteering at Taylors Mistake.<br />
He also does beach education,<br />
teaching school children<br />
all there is to know about water<br />
safety.<br />
Schefer became a lifeguard<br />
because he simply loved being<br />
around the ocean and helping<br />
people.<br />
“I’ve been helped out a lot all<br />
the way through my lifesaving<br />
journey and I wanted to give<br />
back,” he said.<br />
Schefer’s continued efforts have<br />
not gone unnoticed.<br />
Taylors Mistake patrol operations<br />
manager Ian Rae joined the<br />
WATCHFUL: Schefer is working as both a paid and volunteer lifesaver every week during<br />
this season. When he returns to his studies in February he will continue to volunteer<br />
during the weekends for his home club Taylors Mistake.<br />
PHOTO: STAR MEDIA<br />
club in 2006 when Schefer “was<br />
one of the nippers”.<br />
“He’s a really lovely guy . . .<br />
he’s just really keen and a great<br />
leader within our club. A really<br />
great example of what a lifeguard<br />
needs to be,” Rae said.<br />
Schefer was awarded the<br />
Canterbury Volunteer Lifeguard<br />
of the Year in 2021 for his “dedication<br />
and commitment” to<br />
surf lifesaving. Last year he also<br />
gained his advanced lifeguard<br />
award, which is the highest<br />
award available for lifeguards<br />
within the Surf Life Saving New<br />
Zealand pathway.<br />
Schefer said he’s continuously<br />
learning and that each day on<br />
the job brings with it new challenges.<br />
“Each [rescue] is very different,<br />
there’s always something that<br />
changes with it,” he said.<br />
Schefer said one rescue that<br />
stood out for him was three<br />
seasons back while patrolling at<br />
Cave Rock, multiple swimmers<br />
were caught in a rip. Schefer rescued<br />
two people by pulling them<br />
in on a rescue tube. After getting<br />
them to the beach, he immediately<br />
returned to rescue another two<br />
on a rescue board.<br />
“It’s always a relief when you<br />
get them back onto the beach and<br />
everyone is fine, there’s a lot of<br />
focus in the moment,” he said.<br />
Although there is a lot of<br />
responsibility on his shoulders,<br />
Schefer feels confident in the<br />
training he has had and the support<br />
from his colleagues.<br />
“I know I’ve always got the<br />
backup on the beach if things go<br />
wrong,” he said.<br />
Schefer and his younger brother<br />
Ollie, 19, are currently training<br />
as a team for IRB racing. They<br />
will compete in February and<br />
March with the nationals held in<br />
April.<br />

Orienteers seek funds<br />
• By Kristie Boland<br />
DOUGAL SHEPHERD and<br />
Scott Smith are hoping to<br />
navigate their way to Switzerland<br />
for the World University<br />
Orienteering Championships<br />
later this year.<br />
Shepherd<br />
and Smith,<br />
both of Redcliffs,<br />
have<br />
created a new<br />
running event<br />
series called<br />
Inov8 King<br />
and Queen<br />
Dougal<br />
Shepherd<br />
Scott Smith<br />
of the Crater.<br />
The pair hope<br />
the event will<br />
help raise the<br />
funds needed<br />
to get them<br />
and some of<br />
their Southerly<br />
Storm<br />
Orienteering<br />
team mates to<br />
Switzerland in<br />
August.<br />
“It would be<br />
a great opportunity to test ourselves<br />
and get to experience the<br />
pretty cool culture and diversity<br />
that the event brings, interacting<br />
with heaps of different people,”<br />
said Shepherd.<br />
Shepherd, a 20-year-old forestry<br />
engineering student comes<br />
from a family of orienteers and<br />
AT SPEED: Shepherd running in the Port Hills.<br />
went through both primary<br />
and secondary school travelling<br />
the country doing orienteering<br />
events.<br />
Running being a big part of<br />
orienteering, Shepherd naturally<br />
got into trail running.<br />
“I like how it’s short and fast<br />
and we get to go to some pretty<br />
cool forests around the country<br />
and overseas,” he said.<br />
Shepherd and Smith are both<br />
a part of the national under<br />
23 orienteering development<br />
team called High Performance<br />
Orienteering, a group that holds<br />
training camps and events all<br />
over the country.<br />
Smith created Crazy Kea<br />
Events, a group dedicated to running<br />
outdoor events as a way to<br />
fund raise for junior orienteering<br />

TOURISM BUSINESSES have<br />
seen a busy holiday period but<br />
concern is growing for some<br />
as people return to work and<br />
bookings decease.<br />
Black Cat Cruises in Akaroa<br />
had a “very flat” December and<br />
saw a 10 per cent decrease in<br />
business on last year said chief<br />
executive Paul Milligan.<br />
“[But] the weather this side<br />
of Christmas has been great<br />
and has encouraged people<br />
to get out and about and do<br />
activities.”<br />
Milligan said the Quail<br />
Island ferry in Lyttelton has<br />
been running full since Boxing<br />
Day and the Akaroa products<br />
have “seen good uptake – up<br />
slightly on last year.”<br />
“We are very aware that<br />
kiwis plan their activities<br />
last minute and based on the<br />
weather, so will see what the<br />
next few weeks brings,” he said.<br />
Pohatu Penguin Tours in<br />
Akaroa had a traumatic start<br />
to the season with the flooding<br />
causing extreme damage to the<br />
Banks Track.<br />
“We are running again now<br />
but the bay still looks like a<br />
disaster site and some of Banks<br />
Track has had to be rerouted<br />

Mixed fortunes for<br />
peninsula businesses<br />
for the rest of the season to<br />
avoid the worst damaged<br />
areas,” Pohatu Penguins<br />
director Shireen Helps<br />
said.<br />
“This last year has been<br />
awful and it is surprising<br />
we are still hanging in; <strong>2022</strong><br />
will have to be a lot better<br />
otherwise we will lose even<br />
more tourism businesses,”<br />
Helps said.<br />
Pohatu Penguin Tours also<br />
offers sea kayaking in the<br />
marine reserve and a farm stay.<br />
In November it was featured<br />
on Country Calendar.<br />
“We have had so many<br />
people saying that this is how<br />
they found us about us and the<br />
reason they came. Without this<br />
summer would have looked<br />
very different,” manager Kevin<br />
Parthonnaud said.<br />
Parthonnaud said they<br />
had a good amount of<br />
bookings over the Christmas/<br />
New Year period but from<br />
this week on, as people return<br />
to work, bookings have<br />
“plummeted.”<br />
“I am still wondering what<br />
autumn and winter will bring<br />
and am very concerned about<br />
the future of our business,” he<br />
said.

BEAUTIFUL: Community pride garden awards judge<br />
Ron Andrew and his wife Glyn.<br />
A NEAT garden that stands<br />
out from the rest is a winning<br />
formula when it comes to<br />
the community pride garden<br />
awards.<br />
The awards, which are being<br />
held for the 32nd year in a row,<br />
aim to celebrate and recognise<br />
beautiful gardens.<br />
Christchurch Beautifying<br />
Association president Ron<br />
Andrew is one of 20 judges<br />
who will be making the rounds<br />
through neighbourhoods from<br />
Saturday in search of the best<br />
looking gardens visible from the<br />
street.<br />
Andrew said one of the main<br />
things the judges look for is<br />
community pride.<br />
He said a lot of people get<br />
involved in gardening each year,<br />
particularly the elderly and the<br />
effort they put in is amazing.<br />
Andrew also said the benefits<br />
of gardening make the hard<br />
work worthwhile.<br />
“It’s healthy, it gets rid of<br />
stress, it’s enjoyable and the end<br />
results are rewarding . . . it’s<br />
the most popular past time of<br />
anything.”<br />
Partnering with the city<br />
council, community boards and<br />
the Christchurch Beautifying<br />
Association, the awards aim<br />
to encourage civic pride and<br />
recognise people who help<br />
maintain Christchurch’s<br />
reputation as the Garden City.<br />
“Many people in our<br />
communities put time and effort<br />
into their gardens each week,<br />
planting, mulching, weeding<br />
and mowing,” said city council<br />
head of community support,<br />
John Filsell.<br />
“We also have commercial<br />
property owners who go the<br />
extra mile with their public<br />
gardens.<br />
“It really makes a difference<br />
to how our streets look and<br />
how people feel about their<br />
community so we want to<br />
recognise that hard work<br />
through these awards.”<br />
Volunteer judges from the<br />
association will be judging the<br />
gardens from <strong>January</strong> 15 to<br />
February 6.<br />
Last year 682 awards were<br />
given out for outstanding<br />
gardens.<br />
The gardens will be<br />
judged on the amount of<br />
effort put into creating and<br />
maintaining it, overall tidiness<br />
and the impact of the garden on<br />
the street.<br />
Gardeners that meet these<br />
standards will receive a prize<br />
card in their mailbox, with all<br />
gardens visible from the street<br />
being eligible, both residential<br />
and commercial.<br />
Six community boards<br />
are involved in the awards:<br />
Coastal-Burwood, Fendalton-<br />
Waimairi-Harewood,<br />
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton,<br />
Linwood-Central-Heathcote,<br />
Papanui-Innes and Spreydon-<br />
Cashmere.<br />
Any garden within these areas<br />
and visible from the street is<br />
eligible for an award.<br />

FINAL TOUCHES: Artist Jonny Waters working on the new food truck as<br />

Jonny’s food truck<br />
masterpiece<br />
LYTTELTON ARTIST Jonny Waters has<br />
completed his latest work on a food truck<br />
promoting healthy eating.<br />
The food truck, covered in colourful<br />
cartoon fruits and vegetables, is a part of<br />
Otago University’s department of human<br />
nutrition food service paper.<br />
Students had to create a fake food truck<br />
business, and acquiring a real truck was<br />
the logical next step, said head of department<br />
Professor Lisa Houghton.<br />
Waters was approached by Houghton to<br />
do the artwork. He jumped at the chance,<br />
and had free rein with the design.<br />
“I thought it was a bit of a no-brainer<br />
really, doing a whole bunch of healthy<br />
fruit and vegetables and stuff like that and<br />
making them into funny characters,” said<br />
Waters.<br />
“One of the main cool things about this<br />
sort design is that it’s quite appealing to<br />
kids.”<br />
The food truck, which took three days<br />
to paint, is the latest of Waters’ works that<br />
can be seen across Dunedin.<br />
They include murals on the Burger<br />
Plant restaurant, the Lead Balloon cafe<br />
and the Legendairy flat in Duke St.<br />

CAROLE STEELE likens golf’s<br />
Boyle Cup to the Ranfurly<br />
Shield, an apt comparison as<br />
holders Charteris <strong>Bay</strong> zero in on<br />
matching the province’s famed<br />
rugby side’s achievement from<br />
1982-85.<br />
With 17 challengers denied<br />
this tenure, and another six on<br />
the cards following a ballot draw<br />
in March, the experienced fivestrong<br />
women’s team is close to<br />
emulating Canterbury’s streak<br />
of 25 log o’ wood defences under<br />
coach Grizz Wyllie.<br />
Had Covid-19 not intervened<br />
in 2020, Charteris <strong>Bay</strong> might<br />
have already been on the<br />
brink of eclipsing that mark as<br />
they missed hosting another<br />
half-dozen opponents at the<br />
picturesque course.<br />
Christchurch, who introduced<br />
the inter-club challenge<br />
trophy in 1914, Everglades,<br />
Rangiora, Coringa, Russley<br />
and Waimakariri Gorge were<br />
beaten last year as Charteris <strong>Bay</strong><br />
dropped only 4.5 matches from a<br />
possible 30.<br />
They started the reign by<br />
beating Greendale in April,<br />
2018, with Steele, the senior<br />
player at 81-years-old, citing<br />
home course advantage for their<br />
prolonged success in the match<br />
play format.<br />
The greens can be deceiving<br />
when putting towards the<br />
harbour, while the nine-hole<br />
layout’s terrain can also catch<br />
visitors unawares.<br />
“In reality, we’ve only got one<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
funny little bunker. There are no<br />
real hard things on the course<br />
but people don’t find it easy,”<br />
Steele said.<br />
“It’s the greens and the fact it<br />
is undulating . . . people do find<br />
HOLDERS: The Charteris<br />

team aims to retain the<br />
trophy they claimed in 2018<br />
through another calendar<br />
of fixtures in <strong>2022</strong>. Chris<br />
Brodie holds the silverware<br />
before (from left) Denise<br />

Lewis and Carole Steele.<br />
that quite daunting when they’re<br />
used to flat courses. It’s a physical<br />
test, the course does keep us up<br />
to scratch fitness-wise.”<br />
Steele, after all, has no plans to<br />
retire, nor do Denise Whitbread,<br />

SPORT 13<br />
Bid to hold trophy boosted by home advantage<br />
the youngest team member at<br />
68, Julie Sims, Alice Lewis and<br />
captain Chris Brodie.<br />
Continuity is another factor<br />
with personnel changes kept to<br />
a minimum with Sharon Screen<br />
now playing for Tai Tapu and<br />
Nicky Coop on call if required as<br />
a reserve.<br />
Although Charteris <strong>Bay</strong>’s team<br />
is made up of superannuitants,<br />
Steele clarified the Boyle Cup is<br />
not a masters-style competition.<br />
“We haven’t got anyone else to<br />
choose from,” she laughed.<br />
“There’s only 15 active playing<br />
ladies and some of them are<br />
older than me.”<br />
Steele was farming in Port<br />
Levy when she joined the club 48<br />
years ago.<br />
“Back then a group of us<br />
girls said: ‘Let’s go and try<br />
this silly game called golf’,<br />
and I’m still there. I love it,” she<br />
said.<br />
Steele was a golfing novice<br />
when Charteris <strong>Bay</strong> fashioned<br />
a sequence of 34 defences in the<br />
1970s; their previous tenure only<br />
lasted a couple of games about<br />
seven years ago so they’re keen<br />
for this stretch to last as long as<br />
possible.<br />
“We say it’s the Ranfurly<br />
Shield of Canterbury ladies golf,”<br />
she said.<br />
“It’s a prestigious trophy, very<br />
special.”<br />

Treasures from the past:<br />
The Flying Pig<br />
The Lyttelton Volunteer Fire Brigade with its Dennis Ace fire appliance.<br />
internal combustion engines and<br />
pumps.<br />
The images show Lyttelton<br />
Volunteer Fire Brigade in their<br />
finest dress uniforms proudly<br />
assembled around their 1938<br />
Dennis Ace pumper – a fire<br />
engine known fondly to its many<br />
admirers around the world as<br />
‘The Flying Pig’.<br />
Built at the Dennis Brothers’<br />
Guildford factory in the UK, the<br />
Dennis Ace used a 3770cc sidevalve<br />
petrol engine with four<br />
speed gearbox, bevel pinion diff,<br />
and hydraulic brakes on a twoton<br />
lorry chassis with a setback<br />
front axle. The prominent front<br />
forward engine mounting and<br />
bonnet, or ‘snout’, allowed for<br />
tight turns around tighter city<br />
blocks and also gave the appliance<br />
its porcine nickname.<br />
Featuring two hose lockers up<br />
top with enclosed storage lockers<br />
on the running boards, and<br />
IN THE early days of firefighting<br />
in colonial New Zealand the<br />
biggest obstacle was the lack of<br />
what we modern town dwellers<br />
today mostly take completely for<br />
granted, that being water pipes<br />
with mains pressure.<br />
So bucket brigades were the<br />
way to go, from the nearest water<br />
tank or horse trough, followed<br />
later by hose reels with manual<br />
water pumps hauled by men or<br />
horses … or both.<br />
It wasn’t until around the<br />
1860s that steam-driven pumps<br />
finally arrived with the early<br />
adopter Dunedin Brigade<br />
importing the first of these in<br />
1865.<br />
Motorised fire engines began<br />
to appear in the early 1900s, with<br />
the Wanganui Brigade importing<br />
Australasia’s first self-propelled<br />
steam-driven fire engine and<br />
pumper in 1903.<br />
It was at this historical<br />
juncture, following the Fire<br />
Brigades Act of 1906, that<br />
the modern professional and<br />
volunteer fire brigade service we<br />
know and trust today began to<br />
take form.<br />
By the 1920s most of New<br />
Zealand’s fire brigades were fully<br />
motorised with many transi-<br />
263 x 180<br />
tioning over to petrol-powered<br />
brackets for three scaling ladders<br />
on top of the hose box, the Dennis<br />
Ace could fit two firefighters<br />
up front with another eight in<br />
the back.<br />
The onboard water pump<br />
could push 350 imperial gallons<br />
or 1600-litres per minute under<br />
high pressure making this one<br />
of the most efficient and popular<br />
firefighting appliances in the<br />
world at the time.<br />
Being such an iconic fire engine,<br />
the Flying Pig saw service<br />
for several decades with some<br />
brigades not letting theirs go<br />
until the 1970s.<br />
The Lyttelton Brigade’s<br />
Dennis Ace DV 3436 performed<br />
valiantly for many years before<br />
being retired to a paddock in<br />
favour of the ever newer, faster,<br />
and more technologically<br />
proficient appliances used by the<br />
brave men and women of today’s<br />
Lyttelton Volunteer Fire Brigade.<br />

FOOD 17<br />
Taste of summer with a little spice<br />
Barbecued tandoori<br />
prawns<br />
Sometimes a tasty<br />
snack is required while<br />
sitting in the sun with a<br />
cold beverage. So if that<br />
is your plan tomorrow<br />
throw some prawns in this<br />
tasty marinade today and<br />
then all you need to do<br />
tomorrow is thread them<br />
on to some skewers, fire up<br />
the barbecue and eat. You<br />
can cook the prawns on<br />
the barbecue or in a frying<br />
pan. Either way, make sure<br />
it’s quite hot so they get<br />
a light char in the short<br />
cooking time<br />
Ingredients<br />
Makes 10 skewers<br />
2 Tbsp thick plain yoghurt<br />
1 Tbsp bought tandoori paste<br />
1 Tbsp vegetable oil<br />
1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger<br />
2 cloves garlic, crushed<br />
1 tsp ground cumin<br />
1 tsp honey<br />
½ tsp ground turmeric<br />
20 large raw, peeled prawns<br />
Coriander, mint and yoghurt<br />
relish (see recipe below).<br />
Lime wedges<br />
10 thin metal or wooden<br />
skewers.<br />
Directions<br />
Stir everything, except the<br />
prawns, together in a large<br />
shallow dish. Add the prawns and<br />
turn to coat. Cover and chill for<br />
at least a few hours if possible, or<br />
up to 24 hours.<br />
Preheat a lightly oiled barbecue<br />
chargrill plate or frying pan.<br />
Thread the prawns on to<br />
skewers and cook for 1-2 minutes<br />
on each side until just cooked<br />
through. Cooking time depends<br />
on the size of the prawns.<br />
Transfer to serving platter and<br />
serve with the relish for dipping<br />
and lime wedges for squeezing<br />
over.<br />
Coriander, mint and<br />
yoghurt relish<br />
Ingredients<br />
Makes about 1 cup<br />
½ cup each coriander and mint<br />
leaves, roughly chopped<br />
½ cup thick plain yoghurt<br />
2 Tbsp rice bran oil<br />
Finely grated zest 1 lime<br />
1 Tbsp lime juice<br />
2 cloves garlic, crushed<br />
1 long green chilli, chopped<br />
½ tsp ground cumin<br />
1 tsp sea salt<br />
Directions<br />
Place all the ingredients in a<br />
food processor and process until<br />
smooth.<br />
Crunchy Spicy Chicken<br />
Nibbles with Alabama<br />
dipping sauce<br />
Summer is the time<br />
to prepare for gatherings<br />
with friends and families.<br />
It is always a good idea<br />
to have some more<br />
substantial snacks<br />
prepared for the<br />
evening to help<br />
balance out the<br />
celebratory drinks.<br />
Chicken nibbles are<br />
always a favourite and<br />
this recipe by Sophie<br />
Gray, aka the Destitute<br />
Gourmet, is quick and<br />
easy with a little twist<br />
Ingredients<br />
Serves 4–6 as a snack<br />
Ready In: 50 minutes<br />
150g spicy corn chips<br />
1 cup panko breadcrumbs<br />
2 tsp Mexican seasoning<br />
1/2 tsp ground chilli<br />
1/2 tsp dried oregano<br />
1/2 tsp salt<br />
1kg chicken nibbles (approx.<br />
24)<br />
Sophie Gray<br />
2 eggs, lightly beaten<br />
Cooking spray<br />
•Alabama dipping sauce:<br />
1 cup mayonnaise<br />
1/8 cup cider vinegar<br />
1 tbsp Dijon mustard<br />
2 tsp ‘cream style’<br />
horseradish (available in the<br />
supermarket)<br />
1 clove garlic, crushed<br />
1/4 tsp paprika<br />
Handful of fresh basil leaves,<br />
finely chopped<br />
Salt and pepper<br />
Directions<br />
Preheat the oven to 190 deg<br />
C. Place the corn chips in a<br />
processor or sturdy bag, and<br />
pulse or crush to form crumbs.<br />
Add the breadcrumbs,<br />
seasonings and salt and pulse<br />
or shake bag to mix. Pour into<br />
a bowl.<br />
Dunk the chicken nibbles in<br />
the beaten egg, then coat in the<br />
crumb mix.<br />
Arrange on a baking tray<br />
lined with non-stick baking<br />
paper, and spray generously<br />
with cooking spray.<br />
Bake for 35 minutes, or till<br />
golden. Make the Alabama<br />
dipping sauce. In a mediumsized<br />
bowl, whisk all of the<br />
ingredients together until<br />
smooth. Transfer to a jar with<br />
a tight lid and refrigerate until<br />
needed (up to a week).<br />
Tip: You can use the crunchy<br />
crumb mixture for home-made<br />
chicken nuggets or even for<br />
crumbing fish.

Own a Peugeot EV in less than 60min<br />
SO YOUR OLD banger has<br />
blown up, or you just feel like it’s<br />
time to get a new car.<br />
The problem could well be<br />
that the vehicle you want is the<br />
victim of the supply issues that<br />
are plaguing most of the new car<br />
distributors and dealerships.<br />
Wait times of months ahead<br />
are pretty much the norm these<br />
days, thanks to a semi-conductor<br />
manufacturing shortage globally<br />
and shipping backlogs because of<br />
the Covid-19 pandemic.<br />
However, there is much hope,<br />
what is labelled a 60-Minute<br />
Commitment by the Armstrong<br />
Motor Group could see you<br />
driving in a premium car – new<br />
or pre-owned – in less than one<br />
hour.<br />
The initiative incorporates the<br />
choice of more than 700 vehicles<br />
from 16 different manufacturers<br />
at all Armstrong dealerships,<br />
the process is both quick and<br />
simplistic.<br />
With many of the elements<br />
needed to make a car ready<br />
for the road available on-line –<br />
registration, insurance, money<br />
transfer or finance options – these<br />
can all be arranged within the<br />
time frame, although a road test<br />
isn’t included in the 60-minute<br />
programme.<br />
The Armstrong Group has cars<br />
ready to go at any given time,<br />
they are groomed and sitting<br />
waiting for customers.<br />
A change of transport could<br />
well see a buyer behind the wheel<br />
of a new Peugeot 208, the series<br />
fully revamped this year and<br />
available now from Armstrong’s<br />
Peugeot. This evaluation focuses<br />
on the e-208, its nomenclature<br />
pointing to electric; yes, it’s a full<br />
plug-in model, there is no petrol<br />
engine, just an electric motor and<br />
battery power.<br />
The e-208 lands in the market<br />
at $61,990, as such it easily<br />
qualifies for the Government’s<br />
clean car discount of $8625.<br />
Just like its petrol-powered<br />
counterparts, the e-208 arrives<br />
with a new body shell and<br />
interior. It is state-of-the-art allthrough<br />
with a high percentage<br />
of toggle switches and digitalised<br />
functions. Saying that, it looks<br />
minimalistic, and being so<br />
is intuitive and one quickly<br />
becomes at home as a driver.<br />
The 208 as a series isn’t big, it’s<br />
a cheeky, five-door hatchback<br />
that is as much at ease in the<br />
city commute as it is on a long<br />
highway haul.<br />
However, the e-208 has charging<br />
factors to ponder. Peugeot rate it<br />
with a maximum driving distance<br />
of 348km between charges. It will<br />
take about seven hours to charge<br />
from empty to full on a domestic<br />
supply 7.4kW wallbox, or 28 hours<br />
using a three-pin power cable. If<br />
you have a type 2 cable you can<br />
hook into any of the nationwide<br />
charging ports that are springing<br />
up all over the country. A 30min<br />
COMPACT: The interior of the Peugeot e-208 incorporates a<br />
raft of new-age specification in a minimalistic environment.<br />
PEUGEOT e-208 GT: Plug-in electric vehicle that complements a new petrol model.<br />
boost will give you a zero to 80<br />
per cent charge and you can be on<br />
your way again.<br />
I never used the type 2 cable, I<br />
charged the e-208 overnight from<br />
my garage, the cable, thankfully,<br />
long enough to reach and have<br />
the garage door closed at the<br />
same time.<br />
Driving the e-208 requires little<br />
familiarity, you just hop in, select<br />
D on the drive selector (or R) and<br />
away you go. Of course, there is<br />
very little sound, just a hum from<br />
the motor – much like the sound<br />
you get on a Christchurch tram.<br />
The e-208 is sprightly, although<br />
you do have to remember if you<br />
like quick acceleration that will<br />
lessen the distance you have to<br />
travel between charges. That<br />
aside, a standstill to 100km/h<br />
time of 8.3sec is quite quick,<br />
and when you pull out for that<br />
highway overtake the mid-range<br />
response is forceful – 6sec to<br />
make <strong>12</strong>0 from 80km/h.<br />
Peugeot rate the e-208 with<br />
100kW and 260Nm, bear in mind<br />
that the latter figure is available<br />
from just 300rpm, power is<br />
instant and with the lightweight<br />
of the car (1455kg) acceleration is<br />
constantly invigorating.<br />
There are also driver-selectable<br />
drive modes, including a sport<br />
option which really livens<br />
accelerator feel.<br />
I drove the e-208 much in<br />
keeping with its design role<br />
– suburb to city commute, as<br />
well as a country excursion to<br />
• Price – Peugeot e-208 GT,<br />
$61,990<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4055mm; width, 1745mm;<br />
height, 1430mm<br />
• Configuration – Electric<br />
motor, front-wheeldrive,<br />
100kW, 260Nm,<br />
automatic<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 8.3sec<br />
Darfield. At open road speed the<br />
e-208 sits tight on the road and<br />
imparts little noise, sure there are<br />
wind gushes around the mirrors<br />
and a hum off the tyres, but those<br />
sounds are only exacerbated<br />
by the lack of noise from the<br />
driveline, it is almost silent as you<br />
travel, just a purr from the motor<br />
as speed increases or decreases.<br />
I suffer a little from what you<br />
would call range anxiety so I<br />
didn’t venture far off the beaten<br />
track, but I did travel back to the<br />
city taking in a few tight corners<br />
near Burnham.<br />
Just like the 208, the e variant<br />
has composed handling manners,<br />
it sights well attached to the<br />
road and is remarkably stable in<br />
a corner. Drive is through the<br />
front wheels, but even with the<br />
strong torque rush there is little<br />
to feel in terms of tugging at the<br />
steering wheel, the handling feel<br />
is neutral. A lot of the latter can<br />
be attributed to the wonderful<br />
Michelin tyres, at 205/45 x 17in<br />
there isn’t a lot of rubber on the<br />
road, but steering is accurate and<br />
direct.<br />
It must also be said the e-208<br />
takes on board the engineering<br />
elements that have made Peugeot<br />
the master of balance between<br />
ride comfort and handling<br />
ability. The suspension is supple,<br />
affording a fabulous in-cabin ride.<br />
Comfort for all on board is<br />
paramount and for three in<br />
the rear it isn’t too much of a<br />
squeeze. Those up front have a<br />
lot of new-age specification at<br />
their hands – satellite navigation,<br />
keyless entry and power switch,<br />
ambient lighting, panoramic roof<br />
and radar cruise control. There’s<br />
also leather/suede-type seating<br />
material along with heated front<br />
seats.<br />
The e-208 is also badged GT,<br />
that’s a bold claim but with<br />
the way electric technology is<br />
progressing it could well be a<br />
grand touring model. Any electric<br />
car that has a travelling distance<br />
of over 300km allows you to<br />
tackle a long highway journey<br />
with relative peace of mind.<br />
In recent weeks the Kiddie<br />
family has been travelling a lot in<br />
the old Toyota, it’s a bit of a fuel<br />
guzzler and we are sure noticing<br />
the pain at fill-up with the high<br />
price of petrol at present. We<br />
know we can’t sustain those costs<br />
as I head towards retirement.<br />
It may well be time to head to<br />
Armstrong’s and take up the<br />
60-minute challenge.<br />
