Politicking claim as<br />
mayoral battle heats up<br />
Andrew Turner<br />
• By Chris Barclay<br />
PHIL MAUGER’S quad bike<br />
expedition to an isolated flood and<br />
mudslide-ravaged community on<br />
Banks Peninsula has been described<br />
as politicking by his potential rival<br />
for the city’s mayoralty.<br />
The first election battleground<br />
of the campaign to replace Lianne<br />
Dalziel in October likely unfolded<br />
in the farming enclave of Goughs<br />
<strong>Bay</strong>, which has been virtually cut<br />
off since torrential rain and slips<br />
wreaked havoc on December 15.<br />
Mauger, who declared his mayoral<br />
aspirations last August, made the<br />
first inroads last Wednesday hours<br />
after being contacted by one of<br />
three families who rely on Goughs<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> Rd as a link to the outside<br />
world.<br />
The road has been impassable<br />
since the deluge with one 1.3km<br />
stretch damaged by 34 slips.<br />
The Burwood Ward councillor<br />
visited John and Carol Masefield’s<br />
property while incumbent Deputy<br />
Mayor Andrew Turner, the<br />
councillor representing Banks<br />
Peninsula, spent Monday in the<br />
area.<br />
Although touted as a candidate<br />
for the top job Turner, the leader<br />
of the left leaning People’s Choice<br />
caucus, is yet to reveal his plans.<br />
Turner was not surprised Mauger<br />
had ventured into his jurisdiction.<br />
“Is it politics? Yes, it is. We are<br />
in an election year. It’s exactly the<br />
behaviour we would expect to see<br />
from someone who has declared his<br />
intention to run for the mayoralty,”<br />
he said.<br />

from the editor’s desk<br />
PHIL MAUGER has taken<br />
the early high ground in what<br />
may be a two-way contest<br />
with Andrew Turner for the<br />
mayoralty later this year.<br />
Mauger went to flooddevastated<br />
Goughs <strong>Bay</strong> last<br />
week to talk to residents and<br />
see what he could do to help.<br />
Turner followed, on Monday,<br />
to also listen to residents.<br />
Resident Carol Masefield<br />
expressed her frustration over<br />
the lack of city council action:<br />
“We were very pleased to<br />
have a visit from a councillor<br />
that genuinely listened to our<br />
frustrations and was keen to<br />
see the destruction first-hand,”<br />
she said of Mauger.<br />
news<br />
But she tempered that by<br />
saying she was criticising the<br />
city council in general, not<br />
Turner specifically.<br />
But it looks like Mauger has<br />
scored early points.<br />

Book dedicated to history icon<br />
• By Kristie Boland<br />
SHIRLEY MCEWAN found she<br />
was having conversations with<br />
young Lyttelton residents who<br />
knew little about life at the port<br />
prior to the road tunnel.<br />
So she wrote a book – Rail<br />
before Road – to inform people<br />
what Lyttelton was like as she<br />
knew it.<br />
McEwan, who writes under<br />
her maiden name Buchanan,<br />
refers to a time before the<br />
construction of the road tunnel,<br />
which opened in 1964. Back then<br />
the only means of travel to the<br />
city had been by train through<br />
the railway tunnel.<br />
“I found talking to people who<br />
now live in Lyttelton that is since<br />
the road tunnel went through,<br />
they have no idea that we only<br />
ever had trains,” said McEwan.<br />
The book tells stories of a<br />
generation that lived vastly<br />
different to how Lyttelton<br />
residents do now.<br />
“It’s about the freedom that we<br />
had as children, the lifestyle that<br />
we lived and our dependence on<br />
rail travel.<br />
“Life has changed completely,<br />
but I still think that young<br />
people need to know how it used<br />
to be,” said McEwan.<br />
The book was inspired by<br />
and dedicated to the late Baden<br />
Norris.<br />
Norris was the curator of<br />
Lyttelton Museum, a local<br />
historian, polar adventurer and<br />
recipient of the Antarctic Medal<br />
“Over the years he was so,<br />
so helpful. I always knew if I<br />
needed anything historical I<br />
could go and ask Baden.<br />
“Lyttelton wouldn’t have had a<br />
museum of any sort if it hadn’t of<br />
been for his driving force.”<br />
All proceeds from the sales<br />
of the book will go towards the<br />
rebuild for Lyttelton Museum.<br />
“It just seemed to be a good<br />
way to help them to raise funds,”<br />
said McEwan.<br />
McEwan now resides at the<br />
Rhodes on Cashmere retirement<br />
village.<br />
Said the 82-year-old: “You can<br />
take the girl out of Lyttelton but<br />
you can’t take Lyttelton out of<br />
the girl.”<br />
“Anybody who has ever lived<br />
in Lyttelton knows that Lyttelton<br />
remains part of your heart. It<br />
was always a place with soul<br />
where everybody looked after<br />
everybody else, it was just a big<br />
family.”<br />
McEwan and the museum<br />
are asking for help from anyone<br />
who lived in Lyttelton pre-road<br />

“They attempted to put on<br />

most of those photographs were<br />
about,” said McEwan.<br />
She asks anyone prepared to<br />

Possum chase didn’t go well for<br />
INSTINCT: Volunteer firefighter Mike Smith abseiled down<br />
and cut his way through the dense bush to rescue a very<br />
happy Harvey.<br />
The Maid<br />
by Nita Prose<br />
Ferrymead<br />
I am your maid.<br />
I know about your secrets. Your dirty laundry.<br />
But what do you know about me?<br />
Molly the maid is all alone in the world. A nobody. She’s used<br />
to being invisible in her job at the Regency Grand Hotel, plumping<br />
pillows and wiping away the grime, dust and secrets of the guests<br />
passing through. She’s just a maid – why should anyone take notice?<br />
But Molly is thrown into the spotlight when she discovers an infamous guest, Mr<br />
Black, very dead in his bed. This isn’t a mess that can be easily cleaned up. And<br />
as Molly becomes embroiled in the hunt for the truth, following the clues whispering<br />
in the hallways of the Regency Grand, she discovers a power she never knew was<br />
there. She’s just a maid – but what can she see that others overlook?<br />
Escapist, charming and introducing a truly original heroine, The Maid is a story<br />
about how everyone deserves to be seen. And how the truth isn’t always black and<br />
white – it’s found in the dirtier, grey areas in between . . .<br />
The Collector’s Daughter<br />
by Gill Paul<br />
From the internationally bestselling author comes a tale of long-buried secrets and a<br />
discovery that will change everything, perfect for fans of Dinah Jefferies and Lucinda<br />
Riley.<br />
An unforgettable discovery<br />
In 1922, Lady Evelyn Herbert’s dreams are realised when she is the first to set foot<br />
inside the lost tomb of Tutankhamun for over 3,000 years.<br />
A cursed life<br />
But the months after the discovery are marred by tragedy, when Eve’s father dies<br />
suddenly and her family is torn in two. Desperate to put the past behind her, Eve retreats<br />
into a private life with her new husband.<br />
A deadly choice<br />
But she is harbouring a dark secret about what really happened in Egypt. And when a<br />
young woman comes asking questions years later, the happiness Eve has finally found<br />
is threatened once more…<br />

IT WAS FAR too much for<br />
Harvey the jack russell and his<br />
mate Sam, the labrador cross, to<br />
resist – the sound of something<br />
rattling in a bush.<br />
So they did what jack russells<br />
and labradors do – pursue it.<br />
But the problem was the rattling<br />
sound – a possum – was down a<br />
cliff.<br />
But for Harvey it nearly all<br />
turned to custard when he<br />
charged down the cliff which<br />
was covered in thick, wild berry<br />
bushes.<br />
He had been out walking with<br />
his owner Catherine Venrooy<br />
who was with her friend and<br />
Sam on the Māori Gardens track<br />
at Governors <strong>Bay</strong> after work on<br />
January 25, when the drama<br />
unfolded.<br />
Venrooy managed to get a<br />
hold of Sam by the tail as the<br />
dogs charged for their quarry<br />
but little Harvey was too quick.<br />
It was too steep and the bush<br />
too dense for Venrooy to get to<br />
Harvey.<br />
“We couldn’t get down, we<br />
couldn’t see him but we could<br />
hear him and the possum,” she<br />
said.<br />
“We tried calling him for ages<br />
but it was no use, we didn’t know<br />
RELIEF: Catherine Venrooy with Harvey after the rescue.<br />
if he was stuck or just wasn’t With safety gear on and secateurs<br />
in hand, Smith abseiled<br />
coming out.”<br />
Venrooy phoned a friend and about 3m down the cliff side to<br />
told him they were in a “pickle” find the seven-and-a-half year<br />
and to please come with rope and old Harvey with the possum’s tail<br />
secateurs.<br />
in his mouth.<br />
Said Venrooy: “The fireman<br />
While her friend was on the<br />
flung the possum out and up to<br />
way, she decided to call the Fire<br />

“A local team for local people”
Harvey<br />
“Thank God for farmers,<br />
Mike, he’s a farmer, the first<br />
thing he caught was the possum<br />
and threw it back up. I think<br />
most of us city dwellers would<br />
crap ourselves to be quite honest<br />
and wouldn’t go near it,” said<br />
Norris.<br />
With Harvey in hand, Smith<br />
was lifted back up by the team.<br />
Harvey was very thirsty but<br />
uninjured and keen to continue<br />
his possum hunt.<br />
“We got Harvey’s lead onto<br />
him but then he was real keen<br />
to get back in there so we had to<br />
hold him back pretty hard,” said<br />
Venrooy.<br />
After a shower and a big feed of<br />
biscuits Harvey collapsed on his<br />
bed for the night.<br />
Venrooy was very thankful for<br />
the team at the Governors <strong>Bay</strong><br />
brigade.<br />
“Everyone was so helpful, it<br />
was good teamwork, my friends<br />
were great too.”<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong> is the only<br />
brigade in the Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
basin that is trained for lines<br />
rescue and Norris said it went<br />
very well.<br />

Successful rocket<br />
launch but data lost<br />
THE ROCKET launch that had<br />
some Birdlings Flat residents<br />
concerned went ahead last Friday<br />
with no issues.<br />
Some residents were unaware<br />
that the rocket was launched<br />
at 11.45am from Kaitorete Spit<br />
beach.<br />
Safety measures were put<br />
in place by the UC Aerospace<br />
team and the rocket launched<br />
safely but due to missing data,<br />
the team cannot confirm whether<br />
they hit their record setting<br />
target.<br />
The aim was to exceed the<br />
current altitude record for a student-led<br />
rocket programme held<br />
by the University of Southern<br />
California, which reached an<br />
altitude of 104km.<br />
“It launched perfectly, out<br />
in the direction that it was<br />
meant to go, unfortunately we<br />
just lost that data so we can’t<br />
prove it,” said project leader Jack<br />
Davies.<br />
Davies said the launch looked<br />
good from the ground but they<br />
lost the telemetry link that was<br />
sending all the information from<br />
the rocket back to them.<br />
“We lost that link just after the<br />
first stage burn so we weren’t able<br />
to get all of the data we needed to<br />
LIFT-OFF: The UC Aerospace team’s record-attempting<br />
rocket launching from Birdlings Flat on Friday.<br />
figure out how high it went.”<br />
The team is currently taking<br />
all the data they do have from<br />
the ground to try and get a full<br />
picture of the performance and<br />
how high the rocket went. They<br />
hope to have another go within<br />
the year.<br />
“Everyone is pretty happy, they<br />
all thought it was quite cool.<br />
Everyone is really keen to do<br />
another one,” Davies said.<br />

Lack of council<br />
communication with<br />
residents a concern<br />
• From page 1<br />
“His approach was<br />
different to mine. He<br />
responded to an invitation<br />
from residents, I went<br />
out there with council<br />
staff and representatives<br />
of (contractors) Fulton<br />
Hogan.<br />
“We were planning that<br />
well before Phil went out<br />
there. I had a long and<br />
detailed meeting with staff<br />
(on January 24). We started<br />
planning on the day.’’<br />
Asked if he was thought<br />
Turner had followed his<br />
lead Mauger said: “It does<br />
seem a bit coincidental”<br />
before denying he was<br />
politicking.<br />
“I didn’t go out of my<br />
way to dig holes in his vote<br />
but I thought: ‘This is what<br />
excites me about doing<br />
council work. You can go<br />
out and meet people and<br />
see how you can make<br />
them happy or fix things.<br />
“I’ve been told a number<br />
of times to get my head out<br />
of operational and start<br />
doing governance but I<br />
just love the operational<br />
bits because I can see how<br />
things can maybe be done<br />
better.”<br />
Mauger updated city<br />
council staff on his return<br />
and acknowledged the city<br />
council’s lack of communication<br />
with residents was a<br />
concern.<br />
“They haven’t been told<br />
any plans of what’s going<br />
on. If they were kept in<br />
the loop a bit more . . .<br />
someone from council<br />
went over the day after (the<br />
storm) and that was good<br />
but they haven’t heard a<br />
thing since.”<br />
Masefield, who must<br />
take a quad bike over a<br />
narrow stock track on<br />
NEWS 7<br />
SLIPPAGE: A Goughs <strong>Bay</strong> Rd resident surveys<br />
the damage to the community’s link to the<br />
remainder of Banks Peninsula and beyond.<br />
a neighbouring farm to<br />
reach the bay, where a<br />
vehicle is parked for shopping<br />
excursions to Akaroa,<br />
has long been critical of<br />
the city council’s response.<br />
“When this happened<br />
everyone went on holiday,<br />
the council shut down. The<br />
communication has been<br />
shocking,” she said.<br />
But Masefield was<br />
impressed Mauger made<br />
the trip hours she after<br />
sent her request via social<br />
media.<br />
“We were very pleased to<br />
have a visit from a councillor<br />
that genuinely listened<br />
to our frustrations and was<br />
keen to see the destruction<br />
first-hand,” she said, confirming<br />
she was criticising<br />
the council in general, not<br />
Turner specifically.<br />
However, after Turner’s<br />
first visit since the natural<br />
disaster, Masefield was still<br />
frustrated.<br />
“He says all the right<br />
things, as they do, but we<br />
still haven’t got any time<br />
line of what’s happening to<br />
the road,” she said.<br />
Mauger, who owns a<br />
contracting company,<br />
cheekily suggested he was<br />
“half an inch away from<br />
taking a digger over there<br />
and doing it myself but I<br />
know I’d get in deep s**t.”<br />
In July 2<strong>02</strong>0 he dug a<br />
70m ditch on red zone<br />
land to resolve long-term<br />
flooding on Pages Rd in<br />
the city’s eastern suburbs;<br />
the council then spent<br />
about $30,000 to fill in the<br />
unauthorised trench.<br />
Mauger cited that<br />
exercise when dismissing<br />
suggestions he indulged in<br />
a points-scoring exercise<br />
ahead of the October 8<br />
polls.<br />
“Roadworks, earthworks<br />
… all that sort of thing<br />
interests me. I’ve also got<br />
a place over in Akaroa, a<br />
little crib/bach. It’s always<br />
interested me over there,”<br />
he said, adding he will<br />
reschedule an informal<br />
gathering in Akaroa<br />
cancelled due to Covid-19<br />
restrictions.<br />

Funding for<br />
estuary<br />
pest control<br />
THE AVON-Heathcote Estuary<br />
Ihutai Trust has received<br />
$345,000 in funding to help with<br />
predator control.<br />
The trust applied for the<br />
Jobs for Nature funding made<br />
available by the Department of<br />
Conservation early last year and<br />
were successful.<br />
The $345,000 will be spread<br />
out over three years for the<br />
Trust’s pest eradication project.<br />
A contract has been made with<br />
EXCELL company who have<br />
conducted predator control for<br />
25 years for the council, Environment<br />
Canterbury and DoC.<br />
With the funding, two new<br />
jobs have been created and under<br />
supervision from the council,<br />
the Trust and EXCELL they<br />
commenced with trapping in<br />
December.<br />
Part of the agreement was that<br />
no poison is to be used and traps<br />
have been especially designed<br />
and built to ensure that cats and<br />
dogs can not enter the traps.<br />
South Shore Spit Reserve<br />
being is one the areas where<br />
traps have now been placed as<br />

Eliminating predators a family affair<br />
• By Kristie Boland<br />
MATT BUTTERFIELD and<br />
his daughter Lucy are doing<br />
their part to help make Banks<br />
Peninsula predator free.<br />
The pair have been volunteering<br />
for Pohatu Penguins and<br />
Predator Free Banks Peninsula<br />
in Akaroa, helping with an<br />
ongoing survey and setting and<br />
checking predator traps.<br />
Pohatu Penguins led a peninsula-wide<br />
penguin survey last<br />
summer, on that survey they<br />
found signs of predation in and<br />
around some areas of penguin<br />
nesting sites.<br />
“After the survey, we knew we<br />
had the ability to help and we’re<br />
doing it,” said Butterfield.<br />
“Lucy is the driving force behind<br />
it. It’s her gig, I just provide<br />
the boat and the labour.”<br />
Twelve-year-old Lucy’s passion<br />
for helping New Zealand’s native<br />
biodiversity stemmed from<br />
reading about the kākāpō on<br />
Stewart Island. While she has<br />
been able to sponsor a couple<br />
of kākāpō, Lucy went in search<br />
of something local her and her<br />
family could help out with.<br />
The Butterfields have a holiday<br />
home in Akaroa and have been<br />
going there for eight years.<br />
“Birdlife is one of the amazing<br />
things over there,” said Butterfield.<br />
“We just feel that if we don’t<br />
do something then there won’t<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
be penguins in the harbour<br />
anymore.”<br />
Lucy got in contact with Pohatu<br />
Penguins co-owner Averil<br />
Parthonnaud and her husband<br />
Kevin and she has been helping<br />
them out where she can.<br />
“They’re the real heroes,” said<br />
Butterfield.<br />
In October 2<strong>02</strong>0, a group of<br />
community leaders and over<br />
60 volunteers surveyed Banks<br />
Peninsula to identify penguin<br />
numbers, 20 years after the first<br />
significant peninsula-wide survey<br />
was performed.<br />
The Horomaka Kororā Survey<br />
was started in 2<strong>02</strong>0 with the<br />
purpose being to estimate the<br />
current population size of little<br />
penguins on Banks Peninsula.<br />
Butterfield and Lucy helped<br />
out when the survey resumed at<br />
the end of last year.<br />
“We found two quite large<br />
CARING: Matt<br />
Butterfield<br />
and his<br />
daughter Lucy<br />
use a spare<br />
fishing float<br />
and kick their<br />
way in to the<br />
hard-to-reach<br />
sea coves to<br />
set traps for<br />
predators to<br />
protect little<br />
blue penguins.<br />
nesting sites inside the Akaroa<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> that were just getting<br />
decimated by stoats,” said Butterfield.<br />
Since then, he and Lucy have<br />
set about 16 traps in the two big<br />
nesting spots.<br />
“Matt was installing BT200<br />
traps in and around the sea coves<br />
within the Akaroa <strong>Harbour</strong>. The<br />
BT200 trap is a humane kill-trap<br />
designed for stoats,” said PFBP<br />
operations manager Tim Sjoberg.<br />
With his teenage sons Tom<br />
and Charlie helping out, Butterfield<br />
uses his boat to get to the<br />
more difficult-to-reach sea coves<br />
then he and Lucy swim in.<br />
“We’ve got a spare fishing float,<br />
we hang on the back of that and<br />
kick ourselves in, one of my sons<br />
will sit on the boat while we<br />
swim 20m to the shore,” Butterfield<br />
said.<br />
An estimated 68,000 native<br />
birds are killed in New Zealand<br />
by introduced pests every night,<br />
and 25 million killed every year,<br />
PFBP website states.<br />
“It is the collective mahi, like<br />
Matt’s [and Lucy’s], that will<br />
really make a difference for our<br />
taonga species,” PFBP communications<br />
manager Vanessa<br />
Mander said.<br />
“We are buoyed by the effort,<br />
passion and commitment shown<br />
by our community,” she said.<br />
Anyone can help out, whether<br />
that’s with backyard trapping,<br />
volunteering with local trapping<br />
group or starting a trap line.<br />
•If you’re a landowner<br />

Free Banks Peninsula<br />
boundary (Okains <strong>Bay</strong> to<br />

Treasures from the past:<br />
The King’s Scouts<br />
MAJOR DAVID Cossgrove of<br />
Kaiapoi bravely volunteered for<br />
the Second Boer War and served<br />
His Majesty with distinction in<br />
the 6th and 10th Contingents<br />
of the New Zealand Mounted<br />
Rifles from 1900-19<strong>02</strong>.<br />
Under the British command<br />
of the First Baron Baden-<br />
Powell, Major General Robert<br />
Stephenson Smyth Baden-<br />
Powell, Major Cossgrove was<br />
influenced by his commander’s<br />
ideas regarding the training of<br />
good, healthy British boys in the<br />
discipline of scouting and other<br />
skills that may be of service to<br />
King and Empire.<br />
THus it was on Cossgrove’s<br />
return that the first Dominion<br />
Boy Scouts Troop was<br />
established at Kaiapoi in April,<br />
1908.<br />
The Dominion Boy Scouts<br />
movement spread quickly across<br />
the country with troops forming<br />
in many towns including Lyttelton.<br />
By 1913 the now Lieutenant-Colonel<br />
Cossgrove’s Dominion<br />
Scouts were affiliated with<br />
Baden-Powell’s international<br />
Boy Scouts Association of the<br />
United Kingdom.<br />
It is at this juncture that<br />
you’ll find erstwhile Lyttelton<br />
Boy Scouts Troop assembled at<br />
the old Drill Hall in 1913 and<br />
proudly displaying their accomplishments.<br />
Centre stage is what appears<br />
to be the Sargood-Otter Shield<br />
awarded, fittingly for a port<br />
town, to the Troop with the<br />
highest number of boys taught<br />
to swim.<br />
Also, at their stage left, they<br />
hold aloft the highly prestigious<br />
King’s Standard. Awarded that<br />
year by George V, King of the<br />
United Kingdom and the British<br />
Dominions, and Emperor of<br />
India, the standard was given<br />
to the troop with the highest<br />
percentage of King’s Scouts,<br />
those Boy Scouts judged most<br />
proficient in scouting skills.<br />
Skills that would no doubt<br />
serve the older boys well in the<br />
war against Imperial Germany<br />
that would break out the<br />
following fateful year. About 75 young scouts assembled at the old drill hall in 1913.<br />

Hickory clubs set to test the best golfers<br />
• By Chris Barclay<br />
THE CHANCE discovery of a<br />
warped wooden-shafted club<br />
at an Akaroa antique fair more<br />
than a decade ago has driven<br />
an authentic golfing experience<br />
that goes even further back in<br />
time.<br />
Stu Upton paid $25 for the<br />
manky old putter in 2010, and<br />
then did research which culminated<br />
in the Christchurch Golf<br />
Club planning the inaugural<br />
New Zealand Hickory Open for<br />
March 13.<br />
“It’s been a goal of mine since I<br />
got the putter,” said Upton, who<br />
has assembled the largest private<br />
collection of playable hickory<br />
clubs in the country, 461 at last<br />
count.<br />
“I thought to myself: ‘How the<br />
hell did they play golf with these<br />
in those days?<br />
Upton, who started golfing<br />
at age 12, subsequently learned<br />
hickory golf was popular in other<br />
golfing countries, though not<br />
New Zealand.<br />
“I decided I was going to<br />
change that and it’s taken me<br />
this long to get enough (playable)<br />
clubs where you can actually run<br />
something,” he said.<br />
Upton will provide a driver,<br />
mid-iron, mashie (short iron),<br />
mashie niblick (pitching wedge)<br />
and putter unless golfers in the<br />
field of 72 are already equipped<br />
OLD STYLE: Sir Bob Charles and Stu Upton will go back in time to a bygone era of golf<br />
when New Zealand’s inaugural Hickory Open is played at the Christchurch Golf Club in<br />
March.<br />
PHOTO: CHRIS BARCLAY<br />
with clubs cleared by a vetting<br />
process.<br />
“Some clever buggers put a<br />
modern (say 1970s) head on<br />
a hickory shaft. That’s called<br />
cheating,” he said.<br />
Upton has eight left-handed<br />
sets, with the legendary Sir<br />
Bob Charles, who will host the<br />
tournament on his beloved links<br />
course in Shirley, requisitioning<br />
a putter and a niblick.<br />
“This is taking me back<br />
to my earliest playing<br />
days. These 100-year-old<br />
hickories are the original<br />
clubs and they have a<br />
special feel that provides a<br />
great challenge, enabling<br />
us to experience golf as it<br />
was meant to be played”<br />
– Sir Bob Charles<br />
“This is taking me back to<br />
my earliest playing days. These<br />
100-year-old hickories are the<br />
original clubs and they have a<br />
special feel that provides a great<br />
challenge, enabling us to experience<br />
golf as it was meant to be<br />
played,” said Charles.<br />
“This is our contribution to a<br />
world-wide revival of hickory<br />
golf, hopefully it will become an<br />
annual event.”<br />
The tournament concept gathered<br />
momentum when Glenn<br />
Bongartz, a former men’s club<br />
captain at Christchurch, bought<br />
a club from Upton.<br />
“We got talking about our love<br />
for the game and I said ‘Bob’s got<br />
a love for this as well” and after<br />
two years of talking we’ve finally<br />
made it happen.”<br />
Charles, 85, is also part of<br />
the core planning group for a<br />
one-day event featuring foursomes<br />
and individual stroke<br />
play.<br />
Golfers can take on a<br />
2700-yard nine-hole challenge<br />
designed by Charles, who<br />
has shortened some holes to<br />
accommodate the old-style<br />
clubs.<br />

SPORT 13<br />
in bygone era tournament<br />
Paying homage to history<br />
– the hand-forged hickory<br />
era spanned the 1890s to the<br />
1930s – means you sacrifice the<br />
benefits of new technology.<br />
“A good drive, if you’re really<br />
lucky, might be 200m (compared<br />
to 250-285m with state<br />
of the art equipment) and you<br />
don’t have the volume of clubs,<br />
you’ve only got five (or six) in<br />
your bag,” Upton said.<br />
“You have to be a little bit<br />
inventive. That skill or art of<br />
the game has gone, with modern<br />
golf it’s all about drivers<br />
and wedges.”<br />
Charles and Upton will also<br />
look the part after a selection<br />
of plus fours, and tweed vests<br />
arrived from the United Kingdom<br />
last week.<br />
Upton is also producing<br />
hickory tee markers and period<br />
piece flags for the greens. Clubs<br />
will be carried in canvas and<br />
leather bags reminiscent of the<br />
sport’s formative years.<br />
“We’re going the whole nine<br />
yards,” said Upton, aware there<br />
is considerable ground to make<br />
up on a golfing world where<br />
Scotland has hosted the World<br />
Hickory Open since 2005.<br />
Upton built his catalogue<br />
from purchases throughout<br />
the country, and noticed there<br />
was no shortage of clubs based<br />
resistant wood originally imported<br />
from the United States.<br />
“There’s loads out there. They<br />
mass produced them in the<br />
millions. It was like: ‘Where<br />
can we get rid of these? We’ll<br />
dump them in New Zealand’,”<br />
he said.<br />
The 59-year-old has spent<br />
more than 2000 hours restoring<br />
clubs often found languishing,<br />
unloved, in garages or<br />
sheds.<br />
He separates the shaft from<br />
the head, sands the hickory<br />
and then soaks it in water for<br />
several days to reverse any<br />
bend in the club.<br />
“I let it dry for four to five<br />
days and nine times out of 10<br />
the bend comes out to a point<br />
where it’s acceptable.”<br />
While proud of his collection<br />
– Upton urges golfers not to<br />
snap one over a thigh if they<br />
land in the stream dissecting<br />
the 9th – it is not exactly<br />
priceless.<br />
“About one in 25 has some<br />
sort of significant value, the<br />
rest are just common muck,”<br />
he said.<br />
Upton has a putter which<br />
might be valuable – apparently<br />
it was used by John Henry<br />
Taylor to win the Open Championship<br />
at Royal St George’s<br />
in 1894.<br />
“I have no proof, all it has got<br />
is a plaque on it,” said Upton,<br />

who paid $1000 for the club<br />
from a seller in Auckland six<br />
years ago.<br />
“I’ve seen a couple of drawings<br />
of him and his caddie on<br />
the green. You can see him<br />
holding on to a putter but<br />
there’s no way you can say it’s<br />
that putter.”<br />
Upton has no doubt about<br />
the recent history of the putter<br />
he’ll rely on next month, his<br />
original purchase in Akaroa.<br />
“It had a hellishly bent shaft,<br />
now it almost looks brand<br />
new.”<br />

Radical styling cues for Tucson<br />
I’VE HAD THE good fortune to<br />
view the Grand Canyon, it certainly<br />
is one of the most spectacular<br />
environments on the planet.<br />
As part of the journey to get<br />
there, my wife and I passed<br />
through Tucson, Arizona, a city<br />
nestled below mountains and<br />
on a desert edge. It was hot, dry<br />
and some of the scenery almost<br />
desolate through that area. So it’s<br />
some surprise then Hyundai chose<br />
that city as a name for one its midsize<br />
sport utility vehicles.<br />
However, it must be working for<br />
Hyundai, the Tucson as a name has<br />
been around since 2004, finding<br />
its way to New Zealand then with<br />
the choice of V6 or four-cylinder<br />
engines.<br />
Today, the Tucson has entered<br />
into its fourth generation, and<br />
not a lot has changed in terms<br />
of concept. It is still the mid-size<br />
family wagon that is quality built<br />
and almost borders on the luxury<br />
car class given its level of fitment<br />
and specification, especially the<br />
N-Line model as evaluated.<br />
Long gone is the old V6,<br />
technology has dictated that fuel<br />
efficiency and low emissions are<br />
the catalyst for modern drivelines.<br />
Today, the Tucson arrives with<br />
three engine options, there<br />
are two petrol units – 1.6-litre<br />
turbocharged and a 2-litre naturally<br />
aspirated – and a 1.6-litre turbo<br />
diesel. There are a total of 11<br />
Tucson variants with front and<br />
four-wheel-drive options thrown<br />
into the mix. The range starts at<br />
$46,990 and ends at $72,990.<br />
The evaluation car was a highspec<br />
N-Line variant. It is a fourwheel-drive<br />
model powered by the<br />
1.6-litre turbo petrol engine and<br />
lists at $68,990. I applaud Hyundai<br />
for the vast choice, it’s something<br />
that any prospective buyer will<br />
need to do a lot of homework on,<br />
but with such a wide variety of<br />
options there is a Tucson to suit<br />
every demand and the choice<br />
you make will be one that doesn’t<br />
present you with kit you don’t<br />
really need or want.<br />
In N-Line specification, the<br />
Tucson carries sporty cosmetic<br />
adornments that make it stand<br />
out from the rest of the group. The<br />
interior has a smattering of red<br />
stitched leather, and red accents<br />
and highlights that complement<br />
well the bold design of the new<br />
Tucson.<br />
Its shape is highlighted by<br />
widespread use of geometric<br />
angles and edges. According to<br />
Hyundai, the Tucson has crisp<br />
parametric shapes, creases that<br />
provide a contrast to its wedge-type<br />
lines. The result is a bold, striking<br />
exterior design that flows through<br />
to the interior.<br />
In terms of specification the<br />
N-Line model has everything<br />
you could wish for. Satellite<br />
navigation, leather seat material,<br />
heated and cooling seats with<br />
electric movement, heated<br />
steering wheel, Apple CarPlay and<br />
Android Auto plus a host of other<br />
minor functions too numerous<br />
AGGRESSIVE: Bold wheels on the Hyundai Tucson give it<br />
an adventurous look.<br />
HYUNDAI TUCSON: Shape is highlighted by widespread use of geometric angles and edges.<br />
to mention, many that are<br />
manipulated through a large centre<br />
console touch screen.<br />
The 2<strong>02</strong>2 Tucson has also been<br />
crash tested, returning a five-star<br />
Australasian New Car Assessment<br />
Program safety rating.<br />
Given its design purpose, there<br />
are no surprises with the Tucson’s<br />
occupant and load carrying<br />
potential. The rear passenger space<br />
is spacious, and under the tailgate<br />
there is a cavernous cargo area that<br />
is certainly up to par.<br />
At the other end sits the delightful<br />
1591cc engine. It’s a unit that is used<br />
widely through Hyundai’s line-up<br />
and that of its Korean partner Kia.<br />
I’ve driven with this engine up front<br />
many times before and I’ve always<br />
delighted in its honesty and lively<br />
nature.<br />
It’s easily a match for the Tucson’s<br />
1538kg kerb weight, with 132kW at<br />
the top end and a healthy 265Nm<br />
of torque available all of the way<br />
from 1500rpm to 4500rpm. The<br />
latter figures promote that feisty<br />
nature, it is a true dynamo from<br />
standstill, ushering in acceleration<br />
with a free and easy manner.<br />
A Tucson buyer with this engine<br />
can expect a standstill to 100kmn/h<br />
acceleration process of 8.8sec,<br />
and for that highway overtake it<br />
will accelerate from 120kmh from<br />
80km/h in 6.6sec.<br />
These are peace of mind figures<br />
that give some indication as to the<br />
ability of this engine and it works<br />
away without showing signs of<br />
fatigue or sounding angry. Drive is<br />
• Price – Hyundai Tucson<br />
N-Line, $68,990<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4500mm; width, 1865mm;<br />
height, 1650mm<br />
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />
four-wheel-drive,<br />
1591cc, 132kW, 265Nm,<br />
seven-speed automatic<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 8.8sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 6.9/100km<br />
channelled through a seven-speed<br />
dual clutch automatic transmission,<br />
shifts are noticeable but very<br />
quick in their action. Of course, in<br />
N-Line form the driver has access<br />
to changes through steering wheelmounted<br />
paddle shifters should he/<br />
she so desire.<br />
Like most modern vehicles<br />
there are normal, sport and eco<br />
drive modes through a consolemounted<br />
flick switch, however, I<br />
used normal mode for most of my<br />
driving time.<br />
As mentioned, I’ve experienced<br />
this engine many times before and<br />
have always been intrigued by its<br />
fuel use, or rather its lack of. In the<br />
Tucson Hyundai claim a 6.9-litre<br />
per 100km combined cycle average,<br />
at times I’ve come close to meeting<br />
that figure. During my evaluation<br />
time the Tucson was constantly<br />
listing around 8l/100km with<br />
4l/100km showing instantaneously<br />
at 100km/h (engine speed<br />
1800rpm). They are similar figures<br />
to those I achieved in Hyundai’s<br />
sports car, the turbocharged<br />
Veloster, when I evaluated it last<br />
year, which just serves to prove you<br />
can have fun with this engine but<br />
at the same time knowing that it is<br />
not scoffing fuel unnecessarily.<br />
The day I took the Tucson on<br />
my inland highway loop a fierce<br />
nor’wester was blowing across the<br />
Canterbury Plains. That makes<br />
those fuel usage stats even more<br />
remarkable, a head wind going<br />
west was making the engine work<br />
harder than it should have been,<br />
also bearing in mind that heading<br />
in that direction from the city is a<br />
long uphill climb.<br />
In terms of handling, the Tucson<br />
has traditional SUV qualities. Being<br />
four-wheel-drive it has the benefit<br />
of a fully independent suspension<br />
system which provides not just<br />
comfort but good compliance,<br />
movement and subsequent stability<br />
in a corner. N-Line models also<br />
have the benefit of high quality<br />
Michelin tyres (235/50 x 19in),<br />
resulting in direct steering and<br />
accuracy in and out of a corner.<br />
First and foremost, though,<br />
the Tucson in all forms is the<br />
quintessential sport utility vehicle.<br />
It is family-friendly, yet it is also<br />
an invigorating drive. It’s also a car<br />
that’s stood the test of time, only<br />
good vehicles have longevity and<br />
that’s something Hyundai can take<br />
a lot of credit for and I guess with<br />
so many variants on offer they are<br />
confident of satisfying the market<br />
for many more years to come.<br />
