Cave Rock<br />
lights<br />
could stay<br />
on year<br />
round<br />
• By Kristie Boland<br />
THE CONTENTIOUS lights on<br />
top of Cave Rock can be turned<br />
on 365 days a year.<br />
The issue of when the lights can<br />
be turned on has been a subject of<br />
debate, prompting the Linwood-<br />
Central-Heathcote Community<br />
Board to get answers from the city<br />
council.<br />
The board<br />
has been told<br />
the lease for the<br />
lighting, which<br />
is solar-powered,<br />
does not limit the<br />
number of nights<br />
the lights can be<br />
turned on.<br />
Board member<br />
Sara Templeton<br />
Sara<br />
Templeton<br />
said: “This is different to what I<br />
had expected.”<br />
Templeton said she had<br />
originally thought the lighting<br />
would only be turned on at<br />
Christmas and Easter, as it was in<br />
the past.<br />

Confusion over dog signs<br />
• By Kristie Boland<br />
OUT OF date dog control<br />
signage at Sumner and<br />
Scarborough beaches has left<br />
some people questioning where<br />
dogs can and cannot go.<br />
The Linwood-Central-<br />
Heathcote Community Board<br />
has discussed the differences in<br />
restrictions at the beaches and<br />
how to make the signs more<br />
simple.<br />
There is also no dog control<br />
signage along the southern<br />
side of the estuary to advise<br />
people dogs are not permitted to<br />
protect wildlife.<br />
The board will request city<br />
council staff set up more simple<br />
signage around the estuary to<br />
say dogs are not permitted.<br />
Board member Darrell<br />
Latham brought the matter to<br />
the board’s<br />
attention,<br />
asking why<br />
the signage<br />
at Sumner<br />
states no dogs<br />
are allowed<br />
on the beach<br />
between<br />
Darrell<br />
Latham<br />
November 1<br />
and <strong>March</strong><br />
31, but at<br />
Scarborough they say dogs<br />
are allowed as long as they are<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
RESTRICTED: The signage showing the rules for dogs at<br />
Sumner and Scarborough beaches needs to be updated.<br />
under “effective control”.<br />
Dogs are not allowed on<br />
Sumner Beach during this<br />
time because it is a patrolled<br />
swimming beach.<br />
However, Latham pointed out<br />
Scarborough Beach also became<br />
a patrolled swimming beach<br />
in December. The Sumner Surf<br />
Life Saving Club set up its first<br />
official patrol at Scarborough for<br />
60 years, which has encouraged<br />
more swimmers to the area.<br />
However, the dog signage<br />
at Scarborough says to keep<br />
dogs under “effective control”,<br />
which means they are allowed<br />
to run on that part of the beach<br />
without being on a leash as long<br />
as the owner is within a short<br />
distance.<br />
Latham said he has requested<br />
information from the city<br />
council on why the signs had<br />
not been changed.<br />
But changes to the dog rules<br />
are not a simple matter. The city<br />
council regulates where dogs<br />
can and cannot go through the<br />
Dog Bylaw, which is due to be<br />
reviewed in 2<strong>02</strong>3.<br />
The city council has said it<br />
will change the signs for the<br />
next summer season.<br />
“My point was that the signs<br />
will still be out of date because<br />
the review wouldn’t have taken<br />
place by then,” Latham said.<br />

Who will vie to replace Turner?<br />
• By Kristie Boland<br />
THE RACE to succeed Andrew<br />
Turner as Banks Peninsula Ward<br />
city councillor is under way with<br />
several candidates declaring<br />
their interest in taking over<br />
from the deputy mayor when he<br />
stands down in October.<br />
Banks Peninsula Community<br />
Board members were surprised<br />
to hear of Turner’s decision.<br />
Turner has been the ward’s<br />
councillor for nine years,<br />
following three years on the<br />
community board, but will not<br />
run again in the October local<br />
government elections.<br />
Board chairwoman Tori<br />
Peden has confirmed she will be<br />
throwing her hat in the ring for<br />
the city council seat, running as<br />
an independent.<br />
“Banks<br />
Peninsula needs<br />
a strong voice<br />
to represent<br />
our community<br />
around the<br />
council table,”<br />
said Peden.<br />
Tori Peden<br />
“We are in an<br />
ever-changing<br />
environment,<br />
and we need to the have the<br />
lives and the livelihoods of our<br />
community front and centre. I<br />
can be that voice.”<br />
Peden said the top three issues<br />
facing Banks Peninsula are<br />
climate change, tourism and<br />
infrastructure.<br />
Board member Tyrone Fields<br />
is also interested in the position,<br />
saying it was his “dream job”.<br />
Fields won the Lyttelton<br />
subdivision byelection<br />
for the<br />
Banks Peninsula<br />
Community<br />
Board in 2018.<br />
Fields also<br />
tried for the<br />
Labour Party<br />
nomination for<br />
the Ports Hills<br />
seat in the 2<strong>02</strong>0<br />
Tyrone<br />
Fields<br />
election but missed out to Tracey<br />
McLellan.<br />
He said his objective is to go<br />
for a city council seat this year.<br />
“I’m a progressive, I’m a lefty.<br />
I support progressive policies<br />
advocated for by any councillor.<br />
I care about social and<br />
environmental issues and the<br />
aspirations of mana whenua on<br />
the peninsula and that’s where I<br />
absolutely stand,” said Fields.<br />
“Andrew<br />
has done a<br />
fantastic job as<br />
the councillor<br />
for Banks<br />
Peninsula.<br />
He’s a man<br />
of incredible<br />
integrity and<br />
whoever gets<br />
the role is going<br />
STEPPING<br />
DOWN:<br />
Andrew<br />
Turner will<br />
not run for<br />
the Banks<br />
Peninsula<br />
city council<br />
seat in<br />
October’s<br />
local<br />
government<br />
elections.<br />
Reuben<br />
Davidson<br />
to have really big shoes to fill,”<br />
he said.<br />
Board member Reuben<br />
Davidson also expressed interest<br />
in the council seat.<br />
“I love living in Lyttelton and<br />
I’m passionate about the Banks<br />
Peninsula community having a<br />
strong voice at the council table,<br />
so I’m giving the role serious<br />
thought,” he said.<br />
Davidson is a Labour Party<br />
member. “Ultimately the<br />
decision about who becomes<br />
our council candidate for Banks<br />
Peninsula is a decision for the<br />
party,” he said.<br />
Board member Nigel Harrison<br />
said he will consider “standing<br />
for the council to give an<br />
independent, peninsula-born<br />
option for voters”.<br />
“I have a passion for the<br />
peninsula and would want to<br />
support all of the communities<br />
individual aspirations.<br />
“Lyttelton is not Akaroa and<br />
Akaroa is not Little River and<br />
so on. One size does not fit<br />
all, which is where the current<br />
council policy seems to be<br />
driving us,” said Harrison.<br />
Turner is currently the caucus<br />
leader for left-leaning The<br />
People’s Choice.<br />
The People’s Choice will select<br />
a replacement candidate for the<br />
local government elections.<br />
Potential candidates can<br />
nominate themselves or be<br />
nominated.<br />
A panel of residents<br />
will be involved in the<br />
selection.<br />
The People’s Choice<br />
chairwoman Michelle Lomax<br />
said the selection process is<br />
likely to happen in April.<br />

A little Helpr<br />
for disrupted<br />
businesses<br />
BANKS PENINSULA<br />
Community Board member<br />
Reuben Davidson has started up a<br />
new initiative to assist businesses<br />
affected by the ongoing protests in<br />
the capital.<br />
Helpr is a website that anyone<br />
can log on to, buy a voucher, and<br />
get funds to the people that need<br />
support in the Wellington CBD.<br />
The vouchers are for participating<br />
businesses and can be<br />
redeemed for a coffee or a beer<br />
when things return to normal,<br />
or you can simply support by<br />
donating.<br />
Helpr is partnered with SOS<br />
Business, an initiative set up during<br />
the first lockdown in 2019 to<br />
support small businesses around<br />
the country.<br />
Davidson said he came up with<br />
the idea of Helpr when he heard<br />
from business owners that they<br />
are counting the days they have<br />
left before they will need to close<br />
the doors.<br />
“We’re launching a site to empower<br />
New Zealanders anywhere<br />
to show support and make sure<br />
they can keep them open,” said<br />
Davidson.<br />
Davidson said more than 5000<br />
people visited the Helpr website<br />
over the weekend and $15,000 has<br />
already been raised.<br />

Draft stormwater plan<br />
open for consultation<br />
CONSULTATION opened on<br />
Monday for the Ihutai-Estuary<br />
and Coastal draft stormwater<br />
management plan.<br />
The plan is the third of seven<br />
being prepared between 2<strong>02</strong>0<br />
and 2<strong>02</strong>3 for the district’s different<br />
stormwater catchments.<br />
The plans set out the ways the<br />
city council will meet the requirements<br />
of its 25-year Comprehensive<br />
Stormwater Network<br />
Discharge Consent, which was<br />
granted by Environment Canterbury<br />
in 2019.<br />
“Stormwater is all water that<br />
falls onto roads, paths and other<br />
hard surfaces. It picks up pollution<br />
from these surfaces which<br />
makes its way into local streams<br />
and rivers impacting the quality<br />
of water,” city council head of<br />
three waters Helen Beaumont<br />
said.<br />
Beaumont said the Ihutai-Estuary<br />
and Coastal catchment<br />
has unique features which are<br />
considered in the plan.<br />
“The Ihutai-Estuary provides<br />
important feeding grounds for<br />
native migratory birds that rely<br />
on a healthy and thriving ecosystem,”<br />
Beaumont SAID.<br />
Avon-Heathcote Estuary<br />
Ihutai Trust chairman Kit<br />
UNIQUE: The city council is seeking feedback on<br />
the Ihutai-Estuary and Coastal draft stormwater<br />
management plan to improve the way it manages<br />
stormwater in the area.<br />
PHOTO: NEWSLINE<br />
Doudney said the trust would<br />
be suggesting to the city council<br />
that better construction site containments<br />
for sediment run-off<br />
be investigated.<br />
“We would like to see<br />
the council employ two or<br />
more new staff members to<br />
facilitate education for the<br />
sector, and monitor and advise<br />
best practices for sediment<br />
containment in large rainfall<br />
events, Doudney SAID.<br />
Submissions on the city<br />
council’s Ihutai-Estuary and<br />
Coastal draft stormwater<br />
management plans can be made<br />
until April 26.<br />
Heated discussion<br />
fLoor CoverinG<br />
• From page 1<br />
Templeton requested<br />
information on the lease terms<br />
from the council after several<br />
members of the public indicated<br />
to her that they were going to<br />
approach the board with their<br />
concerns.<br />
But no one came forward with<br />
concerns at the latest meeting<br />
said Templeton.<br />
“I’d encourage residents to get<br />
in contact with the board if they<br />
have concerns about the lighting<br />
and at that stage we’d be able<br />
to ask for further advice,” said<br />
Templeton.<br />
It is the cross shape of the<br />
lighting that has caused an ongoing<br />
public debate.<br />
A photo of the mast posted to<br />
the Sumner Facebook community<br />
page on Saturday sparked a<br />
heated discussion.<br />
Some comments said the lighting<br />
was “stunning” while others<br />
were unhappy with it, calling it<br />
“a Christian beacon.”<br />
The lighting is a navigational<br />
mast put up in 1864 to guide<br />
shipping.<br />
The mast lighting in the past<br />
has been used to celebrate Easter,<br />
Anzac Day, Christmas and significant<br />
national events such as<br />
the coronation of King George<br />
VI in 1937.<br />
The community tradition<br />
of lighting on the mast<br />
continued until the February 22,<br />
2011, earthquake damaged the<br />
signal house.<br />
Following its repair in 2016,<br />
the lighting was not reinstated<br />
until December last year.<br />
Sumner-Redcliffs Historical<br />
Society members and the<br />
Sumner Community Residents’<br />
Association lobbied and raised<br />
funds for the lights to reinstated.<br />

• By Kristie Boland<br />
CAMERON HAYLOCK discovered the<br />
‘runners high’ during lockdown – and<br />
used that high to run 100km to raise<br />
$5500 for Christchurch youth.<br />
The Thanks Foundation founder from<br />
Sumner has added endurance running to<br />
his list of sports.<br />
He’s also a surfer, snowboarder and skater<br />
and his not-for-profit organisation helps<br />
young people in Christchurch access these<br />
sports.<br />
“I just see how many young people<br />
would want to be a part of these sports,”<br />
he said.<br />
Haylock, along with others from the<br />
Thanks Foundation, have started taking<br />
young people on weekly skating trips and<br />
hope to do the same with surfing and<br />
snowboarding.<br />
The 30-year-old recently ran the Port<br />
Hills Ultra. Leading up to the race, he set<br />
up a Givealittle page with a goal of raising<br />
$5000.<br />
The money will go towards surf equipment<br />
to give young people around the city.<br />
“We all know the benefit of surfing on<br />
your well-being so we want to make sure<br />
more and more young people get the opportunity<br />
to get out there,” said Haylock.<br />
After the lockdown last year, he decided<br />
he needed to do something different to<br />
“just surfing or drinking coffee” and took<br />
up running.<br />
“I actually managed to get that thing<br />
they call the runners high and then I started<br />
educating myself around the endurance<br />
and trail-running. I got curious about how<br />
far I could push myself physically and<br />
mentally,” said Haylock.<br />
He pushed himself to his limits three<br />
weeks ago in torrential ran and fierce<br />
wind.<br />
It took him 17 hours and 15 minutes to<br />
complete 90km of the 100km ultra run<br />
through the Port Hills, but due to freezing<br />
and dangerous conditions he had to stop<br />
there.<br />

“At the end of the day, I was pretty<br />
stoked to go that far, it just wasn’t worth it<br />
carrying on. I still had the ability to process<br />
and analyse what was going on with<br />
my body and everything else around me,”<br />
said Haylock.<br />
He went back last Wednesday to complete<br />
the final 10km.<br />
The Givealittle page has now raised<br />
more than $5500 for the equipment and<br />
Haylock is “stoked” with the outcome.<br />
He said he sees young people challenging<br />
themselves all the time to learn new<br />
things and he wants to do the same.<br />
“Being the founder of a non for profit I<br />
always want to be seen challenging myself<br />
mentally, physically, spiritually or emotionally,”<br />
he said.<br />
Haylock said Thanks Foundation exists<br />
to share the power of continuously saying<br />
thanks.<br />
“Thanks Foundation creates<br />
opportunities for young people of all<br />
abilities to build stories collectively and<br />
individually, intentionally focusing on<br />
their mental health and well-being, while<br />
having fun,” said Haylock.

SPEEDY: Zara ‘the Lamborghini’ on a burst for the Tiger<br />
Sharks rippa rugby team.<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
SUMNER RUGBY Club is<br />
looking forward to another stellar<br />
season as interest continues to<br />
grow in girls’ junior teams, which<br />
have seen a big increase in players<br />
over the last two seasons.<br />
The club is still taking junior<br />
registrations, with pre-season<br />
training starting on <strong>March</strong> 16,<br />
and the competition kicking off<br />
on May 7.<br />
The Tiger Sharks play rippa<br />
rugby in the under 10/11 grade.<br />
This is non-contact and the rules<br />
are simple. It also promotes<br />
excellent ball handling and<br />
running skills, while giving all<br />
players a chance to participate in<br />
a game.<br />
The club has some strong junior<br />
talent, such as 10-year-old Zara<br />
Percasky, a year 6 pupil at Selwyn<br />
House School.<br />
Zara was seven when she<br />
started playing rippa rugby.<br />
She has two older brothers and<br />
is not afraid to get in amongst the<br />
play.<br />
She is fit and fast and always has<br />
a good chance of out running the<br />
other players. “I’m motivated<br />
to play rugby because I love<br />
the feeling of walking onto the<br />
field about to play a game,” said<br />
Zara.<br />
“It feels like our team is about to<br />
achieve something great together,<br />
and walking off the field knowing<br />
we’ve either achieved that or<br />
knowing we have to work harder<br />
at the next training session for the<br />
following game.<br />
“I have had amazing coaches<br />
that have pushed me by helping<br />
me and encouraging me to keep<br />
going for the try line and all the<br />
rips.<br />
“My friends and coach called<br />
me ‘The Lamborghini’ because I<br />
was so fast.”<br />
Said junior club captain Richie<br />
Dimbleby: “Zara is a great<br />
wee rugby player, and she gets<br />
involved with a heap of other<br />
sports too.”<br />
Zara is involved in everything<br />
from cross-country running and<br />
athletics to water polo, swimming<br />
basketball and netball, just to<br />
name a few.<br />

Playing a variety of sports has<br />

Said Jake Mangin, the<br />
club’s head coach and rugby<br />
development officer: “Sport New<br />
Zealand’s initiative, Balance<br />

thinking for the club as it’s about<br />
creating quality experiences for all<br />
young people to keep them active<br />
and in the game.<br />
“We embrace this opportunity<br />
to innovate and show our<br />
commitment to kids such as<br />
Zara,” Mangin said.<br />
“We understand we are an<br />
important part of the long-term<br />
development of all the children<br />
and families who chose to join<br />
Sumner Rugby Club.<br />
“Most of all we want the kids to<br />

FIGHTING FIRES and saving<br />
lives runs in the blood for Mark<br />
Thomson and his family.<br />
Three generations of Thomsons<br />
have served at the Akaroa<br />
Volunteer Fire Brigade, Mark is<br />
in his 44th year.<br />
He was following in his father’s<br />
footsteps, his own two sons have<br />
done the same.<br />
“I served with my father and<br />
both of my boys have served in<br />
the Akaroa brigade with me,”<br />
Thomson said.<br />
During his time Thomson has<br />
worn many hats. He has been a<br />
farmer, a rugby player, a coach,<br />
a publican and, of course, a<br />
firefighter.<br />
Thomson has lived in Akaroa<br />
most of his life. When he was 10,<br />
his family moved from Geraldine<br />
to a farm in Akaroa where<br />
his mother ran a local cafe which<br />
Thomson helped out in after<br />
school.<br />
When he finished school,<br />
Thomson went shearing for a<br />
couple of years around Banks<br />

words in print. But when she takes her new manuscript to a<br />
publisher, she’s told that ‘poetry is not the business of a lady’.<br />
Instead, they want her to write a cookery book. That’s what readers<br />
really want from women. England is awash with exciting new<br />
ingredients, from spices to exotic fruits. But no one knows how to use<br />
them.<br />
Eliza leaves the offices appalled. But when her father is forced to flee the country for<br />
bankruptcy, she has no choice but to consider the proposal. Never having cooked<br />
before, she is determined to learn and to discover, if she can, the poetry in recipe writing.<br />
To assist her, she hires seventeen-year-old Ann Kirby, the impoverished daughter of a<br />
war-crippled father and a mother with dementia.<br />
Over the course of ten years, Eliza and Ann developed an unusual friendship - one that<br />
crossed social classes and divides - and, together, they broke the mould of traditional<br />
cookbooks and changed the course of cookery writing forever.<br />

The scorned lover<br />

“A local team for local people”<br />
For the seasonal<br />
gardeners<br />
generation of firefighters when<br />
they followed in their father’s<br />
footsteps and joined the brigade<br />
at 16. Ryan is now a full-time<br />
firefighter at Sydenham fire<br />
station.<br />
Thomson said he enjoys being<br />
in the brigade with a group of<br />
very like-minded people, of all<br />
ages.<br />
“Everybody is there for the<br />
same reason, everybody is completely<br />
different but we all believe<br />
in, and want to do the same<br />
thing and that’s help people,”<br />
Thomson said.<br />
Thomson spent his youth<br />
playing rugby for Banks<br />
Peninsula until he retired from<br />
the game at 32 and coached the<br />
kids and colts grades. After a<br />
few years of not playing rugby<br />
himself, he got bored and started<br />
playing football, which he still<br />
plays now.<br />
The Akaroa Volunteer Fire Brigade<br />
is a team of first responders,<br />
meaning they do extra training<br />
for medical call-outs.<br />
A medical call-out that has<br />
always stuck in Thomson’s mind<br />
is one he attended with his son<br />
Blake.<br />
He and Blake were first on<br />
the scene to a woman who had<br />
suffered a heart attack.<br />
They administered CPR<br />
and brought the woman back to<br />
life.<br />

“A few weeks later we got<br />
cards from all her grandkids<br />
thanking us for giving<br />
them the chance to have<br />
another Christmas with<br />
their grandma, so that was<br />
really cool, it’s always stuck<br />
in my mind that one,” said<br />
Thomson.<br />
Thomson enjoys the<br />
camaraderie in the brigade,<br />
the crew socialises together<br />
often.<br />
He has been the chief fire<br />
officer for nearly 9 years<br />
now and has a passion for<br />
teaching the new recruits.<br />
“There’s been a lot of<br />
boys that I’ve had to work<br />
really hard to get them in<br />
the brigade and I honestly<br />
think it’s made a lot of<br />
difference to the boys,<br />
between the rugby and the<br />
fire brigade, 99 per cent of<br />
them have turned out great<br />
people,” said Thomson.<br />
Thomson said that most<br />
of the volunteers that leave<br />
Akaroa Volunteer Fire Brigade<br />
join another brigade<br />
where they go. Six of whom<br />
have become full-time fire<br />
fighters. But sometimes it<br />
can be very hard being a<br />
first responder in a small<br />
town where you know most<br />
people.<br />
“When you get called<br />
out to somebody you know<br />
and you can’t do anything<br />
about it, when it’s a friend<br />
of yours or someone you<br />
know had an accident or<br />
their house burns down<br />
and when you get there<br />
there’s nothing you can do<br />
that really annoys me not<br />
being able to help,” Thomson<br />
said.<br />
Thomson has seen a lot<br />
over the 44 years he has<br />
been a first responder.<br />

events.<br />

ARA INSTITUTE OF CANTERBURY<br />
Dream finally realised<br />
with career change<br />
Not so long ago, Saulo Faafoe was<br />
working two jobs – as a taxi driver and<br />
benchtop installer – but he was a long way<br />
from his dream career.<br />
“I always felt a pull to construction,” he<br />
says. At school in Samoa, Saulo particularly<br />
enjoyed woodwork and any classes that<br />
involved making things. He also loved<br />
working with family and friends on building<br />
projects.<br />
Saulo knew he needed to get proper skills<br />
and training in order to get into his dream<br />
career, but financial constraints always<br />
seemed to be an obstacle.<br />
“I was earning barely enough to<br />
support my young family,” he says. So<br />
when he found out about Ara Institute of<br />
Canterbury’s free Pacific Trades Training<br />
options, he took the bull by the horns and<br />
enrolled in a Certificate in Carpentry.<br />
Fast forward and Saulo is now a qualified<br />
carpenter working at Hi Spec Homes in<br />
Christchurch. “Getting work straight away<br />
was an absolute highlight,” he says. “The<br />
practical skills I learned made transitioning<br />
into work easy and I felt more than capable<br />
on my first day in the job.”<br />
Saulo encourages anyone considering<br />
changing career to make that leap of faith.<br />
“Study has a big impact on your life. The<br />
skills I’ve learned, and the knowledge and<br />
experience I’ve gained, have contributed<br />
greatly to my family and the wider<br />
community.”<br />
To those who maybe think it’s too late<br />
to change careers, Saulo has this to say:<br />
“Follow your passion because age doesn’t<br />
matter in the world of studies. No matter<br />
how busy life is or how tough it might get, if<br />
there’s a will there’s a way.”<br />
Ara Institute of Canterbury offers more<br />
than 150 career-focused study options<br />
ranging from certificates and diplomas to<br />
degrees and postgraduate qualifications.<br />
Ara offers a wide range of subject<br />
areas including art and design, health,<br />
IT, business, food and hospitality, trades,<br />
engineering and more.<br />
Places are still available for study<br />
options starting at Ara now and<br />
applications are open for courses starting<br />
mid-year. For more details visit ara.ac.nz<br />

Treasures from the past: ‘Grand old man’<br />
SIR HEATON Rhodes is<br />
pictured on the right looking<br />
tall and jolly with his bowler hat<br />
in hand, strolling past the old<br />
Lyttelton Fire Station and library<br />
on the corner of Sumner Rd and<br />
Oxford St, possibly in the<br />
mid-1930s or later.<br />
He’s in the company of various<br />
Lyttelton dignitaries, including<br />
on his left the ‘Lyttelton mayor<br />
for life’ Frederick Sutton, who<br />
held the office for 15 years, on<br />
and off, from 1925 to 1944, and<br />
whose name graces the port’s<br />
wharf road, Sutton Quay.<br />
One might wonder as to<br />
the occasion for this street<br />
procession, and the rather sullen<br />
school children brought out to<br />
greet the visiting dignitary. But<br />
Rhodes looms large as one of<br />
the most famous and well-loved<br />
public figures of early 20thcentury<br />
New Zealand.<br />
A son of Whakaraupō, he was<br />
born at Purau in 1861 before his<br />
family moved out to their grand<br />
Elmwood House on what is<br />
now the grounds of the Heaton<br />
Normal Intermediate School,<br />
adjacent to Elmwood Park on<br />
Heaton St in Christchurch.<br />
His schooling included Mrs<br />
Alabaster’s school in Cranmer<br />
Square and Reverend Charles<br />
Turrell’s school in Upper<br />
Riccarton, followed by a stint at<br />
the Château de Lancy in Geneva<br />
and then Hereford Cathedral<br />

School, England. As a young<br />
man, he excelled in gentlemen’s<br />
sports while completing an MA<br />
in law at Oxford. He was called<br />
to the Bar of the Inner Temple<br />
in London before returning to<br />
New Zealand as a barrister of the<br />
Supreme Court at Christchurch<br />
in 1888.<br />
After such an illustrious start<br />
in life, it is perhaps no wonder<br />
Rhodes went on to greater things<br />
across a range of fields.<br />
He purchased land near Tai<br />
Tapu and built the Victorian<br />
mansion, Otahuna, in 1895,<br />
establishing New Zealand’s first<br />
herd of norfolk red poll cattle on<br />
its 5000 acres (2<strong>02</strong>3ha).<br />
Serving as president of the<br />
Canterbury Agricultural<br />
and Pastoral Association, his<br />
Otahuna gardens became very<br />
popular among horticulturists<br />
and the general public.<br />
An avid horseman, he joined<br />
the Canterbury Yeomanry<br />
Cavalry Volunteers and was<br />
promoted to captain in 19<strong>02</strong><br />
before serving with distinction<br />
in the Second Boer War.<br />
On his return he was<br />
commander of the Canterbury<br />
Mounted Rifles Brigade until<br />
1921.<br />
Meanwhile, his political<br />
career began in 1899 when,<br />
aged 38, he was elected to the<br />
seat of Ellesmere before going<br />
on to join Prime Minister Bill<br />
Massey’s 1912 cabinet as health<br />
minister.<br />
Resigning in 1915 to become<br />
a special commissioner for the<br />
wartime coalition government<br />
in Egypt, Malta, and Gallipoli,<br />
Rhodes went on to supervise<br />
British Red Cross hospitals in<br />
France and England.<br />
Feted for his wartime<br />
service, he was named a Knight<br />
Commander (KBE), Order of<br />
the British Empire, in 1920, at<br />
which time he rejoined Massey’s<br />
second government as minister<br />
for defence, where his purchase<br />
of the Sockburn Airfield led to<br />
the establishment of the Royal<br />
New Zealand Air Force and its<br />
Wigram Airbase.<br />
Not content with these<br />
achievements, Rhodes also<br />
became commissioner of state<br />
forests in 1922 and laid the<br />
foundations for New Zealand’s<br />
flourishing timber industry.<br />
Retiring from elected political<br />
life in 1925 at the age of 64,<br />
the following year Rhodes was<br />
appointed to New Zealand’s<br />
House of Lords, the legislative<br />
council, where he served the<br />
nation through to his wellearned<br />
actual retirement in 1941<br />
at the venerable age of 80.<br />
His final years at Otahuna<br />
remained active, of course, until<br />
confined to a wheelchair at the<br />
very end.<br />
This ‘grand old man’ of New<br />
Zealand public life, horticulturist<br />
and cattle breeder, soldier,<br />
philanthropist, and minister of<br />
the Crown, among many other<br />
achievements, passed on at Tai<br />
Tapu on July 30, 1956.<br />

Currie and Vic Mangan seek to<br />
counter plant blindness, when<br />
plants exist as a backdrop to our<br />

their collaborative art practices<br />
away from purely decorative floral<br />
vistas, to an engagement with<br />
the less obviously aesthetically<br />
engaging endemic plants of the<br />

contemporary shift in concerns<br />
towards ecology and the local<br />

DRIVESOUTH<br />
NZ Classic Driver reaches a milestone with its 100th issue<br />
18<br />
WITH THE <strong>March</strong>/April<br />
edition, the team looks back<br />
at NZ Classic Driver’s history<br />
– starting with the very first<br />
edition in July/August 2003.<br />
Founded by Allan Dick,<br />
one of New Zealand’s most<br />
notable motoring journalists,<br />
NZ Classic Driver’s editorial<br />
mission has been to write<br />
about classic cars and historical<br />
motorsport in as entertaining a<br />
manner as possible.<br />
Allan Dick edited and<br />
published NZ Classic Driver<br />
until late 2011 when Tony<br />
Haycock stepped into the role.<br />
Classic Driver’s current editor,<br />
Allan Walton, become the<br />
magazine’s third editor when<br />
he took over in 2016.<br />
As well as featuring some of<br />
New Zealand’s best classic cars,<br />
NZ Classic Driver’s goal has<br />
always been to preserve local<br />
motor racing history by talking<br />
to the personalities involved,<br />
examining and writing<br />
about the cars themselves<br />
and preserving their stories<br />
for both present and future<br />
generations.<br />
Now with 100 editions<br />
under its belt, it is clear that<br />
this approach has served the<br />
magazine well.<br />
This special collectors’<br />
edition celebrating the<br />
magazine’s centenary also<br />
offers readers a chance to win.<br />
The team has come up with six<br />
of their favourite classic cars –<br />
ranging from a Mini Cooper to<br />
a Corvette Stingray, and want<br />
readers to have their say by<br />
selecting their own favourite<br />
car.<br />
As a special reward,<br />
participating readers will<br />
go in the draw to win a<br />
Wet&Forget prize pack<br />
valued at $183.49 to ensure<br />
that their car (and garage)<br />
looks its best.<br />
More details on this<br />
competition can be found in<br />
the 100th edition that is now<br />
on bookshelves.<br />
The 100th issue of<br />
NZ Classic Driver can be<br />
purchased from bookstores<br />
and supermarkets.<br />

Popular Tiguan spearheads VW range<br />
TO LEARN the Tiguan was<br />
Volkswagen’s biggest selling<br />
model in New Zealand took me<br />
quite by surprise.<br />
You see, I would have thought<br />
that mantle belonged to Golf or<br />
even the new T-Cross, but I guess<br />
with the sport utility market<br />
buoyant with mid-size wagons<br />
the Tiguan would slot into the<br />
realm of a desirable purchase.<br />
Of course, there’s no doubt<br />
the Golf over time would still<br />
be Volkswagen’s biggest selling<br />
model in New Zealand, but just<br />
at present the Tiguan is selling in<br />
large numbers.<br />
Volkswagen has just released<br />
a facelifted Tiguan and it can<br />
only increase the affection Kiwis<br />
have for it. Up front there is a<br />
new grille, lights and bumper,<br />
with similar treatment at the rear.<br />
There’s a raft of new kit inside,<br />
more so items unseen with extra<br />
safety additions and the inclusion<br />
of a new MIB-3 infotainment<br />
system, it features app-connect<br />
(wireless Android Auto and<br />
wireless Apple CarPlay) allowing<br />
you to seamlessly connect<br />
compatible apps from your<br />
smartphone.<br />
In terms of mechanical difference,<br />
not a lot has changed, there<br />
are four models in the Tiguan<br />
line-up, two front-wheel-drive<br />
models with a 1.4-litre engine<br />
and two four-wheel-drive models<br />
with a 2-litre engine, both petrol-fed<br />
and turbocharged.<br />
The range starts at $46,990 and<br />
ends at $68,990. The evaluation<br />
car was the range-topping TSi<br />
R-Line 4WD with the 1984cc<br />
engine. As a matter of interest, I<br />
have had a few kilometres in the<br />
1.4-litre model and I can report<br />
that that engine is far from underwhelming,<br />
it’s much the same<br />
engine that is in the Golf and it<br />
is a feisty little brute that punches<br />
well above its weight. In fact,<br />
it would be the engine I would<br />
choose.<br />
However, the 2-litre engine is<br />
also rather intriguing, it comes<br />
in a choice of two power outputs<br />
– 132kW or 162kW. The R-Line<br />
model gets the higher power<br />
output, and if you add in grunty<br />
350Nm of torque (available from<br />
1500 to 4400rpm) it is strong and<br />
extremely capable.<br />
Mention must also be made<br />
of the area where power is<br />
developed, its peak arrives at<br />
just 4500rpm and spreads to<br />
6200rpm, that being the case<br />
there is no drop off of performance,<br />
the engine simply pulls<br />
from nowhere and doesn’t lag<br />
across the entire rev band.<br />
In terms of acceleration the<br />
Tiguan in this form will reach<br />
100km/h from a standstill in<br />
8.2sec, and if you are making a<br />
highway overtake it will scamper<br />
DESIRABLE: Large car comfort packaged into a mid-size<br />
sport utility vehicle.<br />
VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN TSI: Four models with two or four-wheel-drive options.<br />
from 80 to 120km/h in 5.5sec.<br />
Drive is sent through a seven-speed<br />
direct shift transmission,<br />
this is my preferred gearbox,<br />
it’s sort of a cross between<br />
a traditional torque converter<br />
type and continuously variable<br />
transmission. The best way I can<br />
describe it is that’s like a manual<br />
gearbox with a robotised clutch,<br />
there are only two pedals so you<br />
treat it exactly as you would any<br />
automatic. However, there is a<br />
Tiptronic function (gearshift<br />
paddles) and sport mode if you<br />
want the engine to hold higher<br />
revolutions.<br />
Volkswagen also rates the<br />
high power engine with an 8.3-litre<br />
per 100km combined cycle<br />
average. At 100km/h on the highway<br />
the engine is turning over at<br />
just 1800rpm registering a healthy<br />
5.8l/100km figure. After a long<br />
drive and some use on suburban<br />
streets the Tiguan’s trip computer<br />
was showing 9l/100km. By my<br />
reckoning these are good results.<br />
The Tiguan is a purposeful<br />
family wagon. It has large car<br />
comfort packaged into a midsize<br />
that drives and rides with<br />
comfort, along with presenting<br />
the driver with an informative<br />
driving sensation.<br />
I took the evaluation car on<br />
my usual mid-Canterbury run<br />
through to Glenroy, returning<br />
to the city via Dunsandel and<br />
• Price – Volkswagen<br />
Tiguan TSi R-Line 4WD,<br />
$68,990<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4511mm; width, 1850mm;<br />
height, 1635mm<br />
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />
four-wheel-drive,<br />
1984cc, 162kW, 350Nm,<br />
seven-speed automatic<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 8.2sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 8.3/100km<br />
Lincoln, the Tiguan provides a<br />
relaxing driving experience and<br />
all those on board would find it<br />
that way.<br />
On the seal it glides through<br />
the air with quiet ease and is<br />
capable when presented with a<br />
quick corner or two. The Tiguan<br />
is very car-like, there is no presence<br />
of height nor bulk, it feels<br />
lithe and spirited.<br />
The Tiguan in R-Line<br />
specification rides on high quality<br />
19in Michelin tyres and they<br />
are certainly up for a cornering<br />
challenge. They don’t moan under<br />
pressure and combine to give the<br />
driver positive information as to<br />
what is happening in relation to<br />
the road surface.<br />
I took the evaluation car off the<br />
seal and onto a clay-based track<br />
just to get a feel for the 4Motion<br />
four-wheel-drive network. There<br />
wasn’t any elevation but a small<br />
ford at the end of the track made<br />
for a slippery departure, I could<br />
feel the driveline engaging so<br />
that wheelspin in any corner was<br />
eliminated.<br />
In terms of what you get for<br />
your outlay, the Tiguan comes<br />
very well equipped, and the controls<br />
and functions are intuitive.<br />
Major features include leather<br />
trim with heated and electrically<br />
adjustable seats, satellite navigation,<br />
keyless entry and ignition,<br />
radar cruise control and head-up<br />
display.<br />
The new infotainment system<br />
responds quickly to input, and<br />
pairing of devices is something<br />
that even the old generation can<br />
relate to. My old iPhone was<br />
readily accepted and functionality<br />
within the system is deep.<br />
One of my wife’s relatives is in<br />
the market for a new SUV. She<br />
wouldn’t buy anything other than<br />
a German car and was looking<br />
at premium brands. I suggested<br />
to her that Volkswagen has a<br />
solid range of SUVs, small to<br />
big – T-Cross to Touareg. It’s<br />
something she hadn’t considered,<br />
but she is now looking at them<br />
closely, and certainly the price<br />
compared to the competition is<br />
hugely attractive.<br />
I hope she goes with my<br />
recommendation and buys into a<br />
Tiguan.

in 2019 – the Comprehensive Stormwater<br />
Network Discharge Consent (CSNDC). Its purpose<br />
is to improve surface and groundwater quality<br />
and address problems caused by the nature<br />
of stormwater discharged into waterways. It<br />
promotes water quality improvements over time<br />
in order to meet targets in the Land and Water<br />
Regional Plan. This is one of seven plans being<br />
prepared over the period 2<strong>02</strong>0 to 2<strong>02</strong>3.<br />
