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OUT OF date dog control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 />

development officer: “Sport New<br />

Zealand’s initiative, Balance<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 />

“Most of all we want the kids to<br />

FIGHTING FIRES and saving<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 />

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 Paris Apartment<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 />

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 />

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.
