PASSION, HOURS of training,<br />
and good family support is the<br />
recipe for success in becoming a<br />
teen cycling national champion.<br />
But the talented 17-year-old<br />
Amelia Sykes of Sumner is<br />
honest about the toll it takes<br />
on other aspects of her life like<br />
school and her social life, not to<br />
mention the exhaustion.<br />
Amelia recently competed<br />
in the track national<br />
championships in Cambridge<br />
where she won four titles – the<br />
500m time trial, the points race,<br />
the individual pursuit and the<br />
elimination race. She was<br />
also second in another three<br />
events.<br />

Thousands<br />
stolen from<br />
woman’s<br />
account<br />
after car<br />
broken into<br />
• By Niva Chittock and Kristie<br />
Boland<br />
A WOMAN has been left reeling<br />
after thieves broke into her<br />
car then used ATMs to steal<br />
thousands of dollars from her<br />
savings.<br />
And they did it without the<br />
password for her online banking<br />
account or her pin number.<br />
Waveney Teale-Russ was on a<br />
walk on Saturday afternoon, when<br />
her car window was smashed in<br />
Naval Point car park.<br />
Teale-Russ’s car was one of six<br />
vehicle break-ins at Naval Point<br />
last week. Prompting Naval Point<br />
Club manager Richard Matterson<br />
to ask the Banks Peninsula<br />
Community Board for funding to<br />
install more security cameras in<br />
the car park.<br />
Matterson said he had been<br />
made aware of “half a dozen or<br />
so” break-ins since the beginning<br />
of the year and six in the past<br />
week alone.<br />
“They clearly know what they’re<br />
doing, fully hooded, masked and<br />
with binoculars to check out for<br />
cameras,” Matterson said.<br />

THAT’S A winning smile on<br />
the front page today.<br />
Amelia Sykes is a young<br />
cyclist going places. She has<br />
returned from the national<br />
track championships with four<br />
gold medals.<br />
But that sort of success<br />
doesn’t come easy.<br />
She says passion, hours of<br />
training, and good family and<br />
coaching support is the recipe<br />
for her winning way. She got<br />
the cycling bug from her dad,<br />
Julian, five years ago.<br />
Says Amelia: “I do miss out<br />
on parties but I don’t find that<br />
a bad thing. I’m not interested<br />

she will go far.<br />

Vandals throw benches, mats<br />
from Sumner Lifeboat station<br />
• By Kristie Boland<br />
VOLUNTEER SEARCH and<br />
rescue station Sumner Lifeboat<br />
has been vandalised over the<br />
weekend.<br />
On Sunday night, a person<br />
climbed up onto the station balcony<br />
and threw the benches and<br />
mats into the car park.<br />
There is<br />
video footage<br />
of the culprit<br />
but they have<br />
been unable to<br />
get an ID on<br />
the vehicle used<br />
said Sumner<br />
Howard<br />
Nicholls<br />
Lifeboat board<br />
member Howard<br />
Nicholls.<br />
Nicholls posted images to the<br />
Sumner Facebook Community<br />
Page asking people to keep an<br />
eye out and phone the police if<br />
they have any information on<br />
who the vandal might be or if<br />
they saw anything suspicious<br />
around the lifeboat station.<br />
“This sort of thing happens<br />
occasionally. It’s frustrating for<br />
us as a volunteer search and<br />
rescue organisation to have<br />
to waste our time sorting out<br />
vandalism. But more positively,<br />
we appreciate the great support<br />

of locals,” Nicholls said.<br />
Meanwhile, Nicholls said<br />
they are asking for “patience not<br />
abuse” from the public when the<br />
search and rescue crew is launching<br />
the boats used to save lives.<br />
Parking near the lifeboat<br />
station in Scarborough on<br />
weekends can sometimes be<br />
“chaotic,” with crew trying to<br />
find space to leave their vehicles<br />
HIKING BOOTS<br />
& SHOES<br />
and launch boats to attend an<br />
incident, Nicholls said.<br />
Often the crew needs to block<br />
off access to the car park while<br />
they launch.<br />
“Most people are really helpful<br />
but unfortunately not all. We ask<br />
for patience not abuse,” he said.<br />
Nicholls said the crew will<br />
now be using traffic cones to<br />
block the car park off for a short<br />
time to create a safe space while<br />
they move their boats from the<br />
shed to launch them from the<br />
ramp.<br />
“We want to thank the locals<br />
and surfers that aid us. People<br />
are always helping out,” he said.<br />

Coast Guard New Zealand and<br />

$400,000<br />
grant will help<br />
band get into<br />
new building<br />
• By Emily Moorhouse<br />
AFTER YEARS of using an<br />
earthquake-damaged band room<br />
the Woolston Brass has been<br />
given a grant to help with its<br />
rebuild project.<br />
Woolston Brass will receive<br />
$400,000 over the next two<br />
financial years, coming from the<br />
city council’s Capital Endowment<br />
Fund, $270,000 has been granted<br />
for the 21/22 financial year, and<br />
$130,000 for the 23/24 financial<br />
year.<br />
The existing band room<br />
located at 37 Dampier St was<br />
built in 1905 but suffered<br />
significant earthquake damage.<br />
While the band room continues<br />
to be used by around 200 regular<br />
members and nine external<br />
organisations, the city council<br />
has advised the rebuild will be<br />
undertaken by 2025.<br />
Woolston Brass members<br />
believe they will have raised<br />
sufficient funds by mid-2023 to<br />
begin construction, finishing in<br />
late 2024.<br />
The proposed rebuild design<br />
consists of two floors with a range<br />
of performance areas, tuition<br />
spaces and storage spaces and will<br />
have accessible parking.<br />

An average day for Amelia<br />
means waking up early for her<br />
favourite meal, porridge, then<br />
heading off to Avonside Girls<br />
High School.<br />
She tries to eat as much as she<br />
can throughout the day for the<br />
much needed energy necessary<br />
to train after school. Carbs are<br />
a must.<br />
“If you’re in sport like me, it<br />
pays to really like eating food<br />
and the right food,” Amelia<br />
said.<br />
After school, five days a week,<br />
she trains for between one hour<br />
to four hours, depending on<br />
what race she has coming up.<br />
She also trains on the<br />
weekend, usually giving herself<br />
one day of rest.<br />
“I do find it really hard and<br />
sometimes quite draining,<br />
getting home from school and<br />
training can be exhausting but<br />
I think I manage it okay. I have<br />
good support from family, my<br />
coach and friends,” Amelia said.<br />
She first got into cycling five<br />
years ago when her father, Julian<br />
Sykes, introduced the sport to<br />
her.<br />
“He took me down to the<br />
track cycling one day and I just<br />
fell in love with it from there,”<br />
she said.<br />
Amelia has always been into<br />
more extreme sports. Before<br />
cycling she was an ice speed<br />
skater.<br />
Elyse Fraser has coached<br />
her for four years now. Amelia<br />
said she looks to Fraser for<br />

inspiration.<br />
“She understands me as a<br />
person, she’s also done all the<br />
races before, she’s a very good<br />
coach,” Amelia said.<br />
She has big plans for her<br />
future in cycling. She hopes<br />
to start with racing in the<br />
junior track cycling world<br />
championships in Israel this<br />
year.<br />
“I would like to go as far as<br />
I can, whether that’s the world<br />
champs, the Olympics or the<br />
Commonwealth Games,” she<br />
said.<br />
Having big goals like this<br />
means life as a 17-year-old looks<br />
a little different for Amelia who<br />
still tries to keep as much of a<br />
social life as she can.<br />
“I do miss out on parties but I<br />
don’t find that a bad thing. I’m<br />
not interested in partying and<br />
drinking I would rather focus<br />
on my sport and have my set<br />
goals.<br />
“I’m happy to just be in<br />
everyone’s company and not<br />
have to drink just to fit in with<br />
everyone else like I’m pretty<br />
happy to be who I am and doing<br />
my thing but still be social with<br />
everyone else,” she said.<br />
While she has a strong focus<br />
on her goals, Amelia also makes<br />
sure to enjoy being young.<br />
“There is a time to be serious<br />
about it but there’s also a time<br />
to just realise that you’re young<br />
and to enjoy it for what it is,” she<br />
said.<br />
“It is hard being in this sport<br />
but it’s very rewarding.’’<br />

Teale-Russ’s phone and wallet<br />
were hidden in the car boot and<br />
were stolen along with many other<br />
items.<br />
Despair became worse an hour<br />
later, when she rang the bank and<br />
discovered the thieves had also<br />
ransacked her account.<br />
“I thought I would only have to<br />
cancel my card and then my luck<br />
would return but they informed<br />
me that my internet banking<br />
passcode had been changed 15<br />
minutes prior to this call and<br />
thousands of dollars from your<br />
savings account have been transferred<br />
into your main account,”<br />
she explained.<br />
“They then proceeded to tell me<br />
that several thousands of dollars<br />
had been withdrawn from ATM<br />
machines.”<br />
Teale-Russ said she is shocked<br />
the thieves transferred large<br />
amounts of money, changed her<br />
online banking password and<br />
the pin number of her debit card,<br />
without raising alarm.<br />
“There seemed to be no red flags<br />
in the ANZ department. I didn’t<br />
receive an email notification,<br />
and if I received a call or text it<br />
wouldn’t have mattered because<br />
my phone was stolen.<br />
“You’d think any sudden<br />
withdrawal of $1000 cash from<br />
an ATM would spark some kind<br />
of concern from the bank,” Teale-<br />
Russ said.<br />

But Teale-Russ said it was her<br />
call which alerted the bank to the<br />
issue.<br />
She said there has been no<br />
sense of urgency from ANZ and<br />
while she felt listened to, she no<br />
longer feels safe banking with<br />
them.<br />
“They print your customer<br />
number, which is a vital piece<br />
of information to log into your<br />
internet banking, on the back of<br />
the debit card.”<br />
When ordering a new card<br />
Teale-Russ asked if it would be<br />
possible to get a card without the<br />
number on it.<br />
“They said ‘no sorry, that’s just<br />
the way it is’. Definitely ANZ<br />
needs to think about introducing<br />
something new.”<br />
The thieves used this number<br />
and information from her phone<br />
to access Teale-Russ’s account.<br />
However, ANZ said it encourages<br />
customers to familiarise<br />
themselves with the security and<br />
message settings on devices to<br />
add an extra layer of protection<br />
when using text notification<br />
services.<br />

Banking ombudsman Nicola<br />
Sladden said actions like those<br />
detailed in Teale-Russ’s case,<br />
should sound the alarm to most<br />
banks.<br />
“Banks’ fraud detection systems<br />
should be robust and should<br />
be focused on identifying and<br />
preventing unauthorised transactions.”<br />
“We would expect banks to<br />
have pretty rigorous procedures<br />
and if an unauthorised transaction<br />
happens, we would expect<br />
the bank to promptly put the<br />
matter right for the customer.”<br />
While banks have an obligation<br />
to protect accounts, people<br />
should look out for their security<br />
too, Sladden said.<br />
Teale-Russ has now been reimbursed<br />
while the police continue<br />
to investigate the theft.<br />
Police said car thefts in the<br />
city have increased in recent<br />
weeks and they are monitoring<br />
areas where break-ins have been<br />
reported.<br />
Prevention is key and people<br />
should always lock their car, even<br />
in their own driveway, Senior<br />
Sergeant Roy Appley said.<br />
“Avoid leaving valuables in<br />
your car and if you have to leave<br />
them there, make sure they are<br />
out of sight,” Appley said.<br />

Grand<br />
Becoming my mother’s daughter<br />
by noelle McCarthy<br />
The astonishing debut memoir about mothers and daughters, drinking, birth and loss, running away<br />
and homecoming from prize-winning writer and broadcaster Noelle McCarthy.<br />

sick, and it’s time to face everything that’s waiting back home.<br />
From Catholic Ireland in the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s to sparkling Auckland in the first years of the<br />
new millennium, Grand is a story of the invisible ties that bind us, of bitter legacies handed down<br />
through the generations, and of the leap of faith it takes to change them.<br />

Contemporary Maori art<br />
by nigel Borell<br />
The story of contemporary Maori art from the 1950s to the present day, with more than 200 artworks by<br />
110 Maori artists, this is a powerful, dynamic new book. Maori art is unique among all art movements,<br />
and to Aotearoa New Zealand.<br />
Drawing on centuries of indigenous knowledge and skill, it reflects a Maori world view, life in this land<br />
and the debates that continue to shape it.<br />
Based on the ground-breaking 2020-21 exhibition staged by Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki, and<br />
edited by the show’s curator Nigel Borell, Toi Tu Toi Ora tells the story of contemporary Maori art from the<br />
1950s to the present day, with more than 200 works by 110 Maori artists.<br />
From carving to painting, video art to jewellery, body adornment to weaving, this is a powerful expression<br />
of the vast creativity and diversity within Maori art, linked across time and place through the Maori<br />
creation story and revealing profound connections to whakapapa, to whenua and to the spiritual world.<br />
Every work is illustrated in full colour and described in illuminating captions that are bilingual in English<br />
and te reo Maori.<br />
Always Remember Your Name<br />
a true story of Family and survival in auschwitz<br />
by andra Bucci and tatiana Bucci<br />
A haunting WWII memoir of two sisters who survived Auschwitz that picks up where Anne Frank’s Diary<br />
left off and gives voice to the children we lost.<br />
On March 28, 1944, six-year-old Tati and her four-year-old sister Andra were roused from their sleep and<br />
arrested. Along with their mother, Mira, their aunt, and cousin Sergio, they were deported to Auschwitz.<br />
Over 230,000 children were deported to the camp, where Josef Mengele, the Angel of Death, performed<br />
deadly experiments on them. Only a few dozen children survived, Tati and Andra among them.Tati,<br />
Andra, and Sergio were separated from their mothers upon arrival. But Mira was determined to keep track<br />
of her girls. After being tattooed with their inmate numbers, she made them memorize her number and<br />
told them to “always remember your name.” In keeping this promise to their mother, the sisters were able<br />
to be reunited with their parents when WWII ended.<br />
An unforgettable narrative of the power of sisterhood in the most extreme circumstances, and of how a<br />
mother’s love can overcome the most impossible odds, the Bucci sisters’ memoir is a timely reminder<br />
that separating families is an inexcusable evil.<br />

Esplanade needs re-grassing after<br />
botched repair job, residents say<br />
• By Kristie Boland<br />
RESIDENTS ARE “fed up”<br />
with the state of the grass on<br />
Beachville Esplanade.<br />
The Redcliffs Residents Association<br />
claims the area is looking<br />
“worse than ever” after a failed<br />
effort from the city council to<br />
restore the grassed area last year.<br />
“The attempt<br />
at light<br />
scarification<br />
and reseeding<br />
has failed<br />
dismally, as<br />
was rather<br />
expected . .<br />
. And with<br />
the Coastal<br />
Pathway now<br />
installing seats<br />
and picnic<br />
Pat<br />
McIntosh<br />
tables, it is embarrassing,” said<br />
RRA secretary Pat McIntosh.<br />
The RRA is asking the city<br />
council to proceed to full reinstatement<br />
of the grass, along<br />
with a review of the planting and<br />
landscaping.<br />
“They have got to completely<br />
re-grass it, nothing else is going<br />
to work,” said McIntosh.<br />
“We felt at the time the<br />
contractors weren’t doing a good<br />
job, the grass was compacted,<br />
it hadn’t been properly mowed,<br />
when they sowed it they didn’t<br />
water it properly and they let the<br />
weeds grow rampant before they<br />
actually got around to the first<br />
mowing,” she said.<br />
McIntosh<br />
said the city<br />
council did<br />
acknowledge<br />
it hadn’t been<br />
done properly.<br />
Transport<br />
operations<br />
manager<br />
Darrell<br />
Latham<br />
Stephen<br />
Wright said<br />
city council<br />
staff intend to visit the site this<br />
week to evaluate it.<br />
“Without irrigation and in dry<br />
conditions it has been difficult<br />
to establish good grass coverage.<br />
We will keep trying,” Wright<br />
said.<br />
McIntosh said the RRA want<br />
to know how the city council<br />
can promptly spend $60,000<br />
on full replacement of the grass<br />
in Cranmer Square after the<br />
anti-mandate occupation, a<br />
considerably bigger area, and<br />
still not have the Beachville<br />
Esplanade area restored.<br />
“We used to be able to have<br />
picnics and play games on<br />
the grassed area. We will be<br />
complaining again to council<br />
as it was their fault that this<br />
turned out so badly after<br />
the sea wall repairs,” said<br />
McIntosh.<br />
Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />
Community Board member<br />
Darrell Latham said he is<br />
working with the RRA on this<br />
matter and will be bringing<br />
its concerns to the next board<br />
meeting on May 13.<br />
“It’s now time for the council<br />
to look at full replacement of<br />
the affected turf areas along<br />
Beachville Esplanade. Earlier<br />
attempts at reseeding have failed<br />
miserably. The job now needs to<br />
be done properly. Half measures<br />
don’t work and the council is<br />
only throwing good money<br />
after bad if they don’t do the job<br />
properly,” Latham said.<br />

Black Ferns inspire players of the future<br />
DIAMOND <strong>Harbour</strong> School<br />
pupils went home from school<br />
dreaming of becoming future<br />
professional rugby players after<br />
a visit from two Black Ferns last<br />
week.<br />
Black Fern Grace Brooker and<br />
former Black Fern Stacey Lene<br />
spent the day with the pupils,<br />
teaching them valuable skills<br />
both on and off the field.<br />
“They made a real effort to<br />
make it personal. Their stories<br />
were really inspirational,” said<br />
Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> Rugby Club<br />
junior club captain Hannah<br />
Riden.<br />
Brooker and Lene spent time<br />
talking about their training and<br />
eating habits as professional<br />
athletes. They also shared clips<br />
from their games and answered<br />
the many questions thrown their<br />
way.<br />
Then they took the kids out<br />
to the field to practise what they<br />
had learned.<br />
Riden said it was as enjoyable<br />
for the teachers as it was for the<br />
students.<br />
“We all needed the inspiration<br />
after so many cancelled events<br />
with Covid, it was uplifting for<br />
everyone.”<br />
“I would say there will be a<br />
few who went home wondering<br />
if maybe one day they too could<br />
play rugby for their country,”<br />
Riden said.<br />

Oyster catcher numbers<br />
on the rise at estuary<br />
AN ANNUAL bird count has<br />
recorded black oyster catcher<br />
bird numbers are at an all time<br />
high.<br />
City council ecologist Andrew<br />
Crossland said last week<br />
he counted a record number of<br />
232 birds at the estuary.<br />
The bird is<br />
endemic to<br />
New Zealand<br />
and one the<br />
world’s rarest<br />
wading<br />
birds. Also<br />
known as<br />
Andrew<br />
Crossland<br />
the variable<br />
oyster<br />
catcher or<br />
toreapango.<br />
The ever-hungry bird, eats day<br />
and night during low tide and<br />
can be seen on the mudflats of<br />
the estuary looking for cockles,<br />
crabs and marine worms.<br />
Having adapted somewhat<br />
to an urban environment, it<br />
also feeds on earthworms and<br />
grubs in the Linwood Paddocks<br />
and the McCormacks<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> sport field.<br />
Unlike its name suggests,<br />
it does not find oysters in the<br />
estuary.<br />
During the 80s, less than<br />
10 birds were regularly seen<br />
but numbers have slowly been<br />
increasing over the years to<br />
last year when 126 birds were<br />
counted.<br />
Crossland has been counting<br />
the oyster catchers since 1985.<br />
The total population of this<br />
species is between five and<br />
6000 birds.<br />
Avon-Heathcote Estuary<br />
Ihutai Trust manager, Tanya<br />
Jenkins said people can help<br />
the black oyster catcher other<br />
estuary birds thrive.<br />
“When you walk your dog<br />
along the estuary at low tide<br />
and you can see birds feeding<br />
on the mudflats, keep dogs<br />

catcher,<br />

bright<br />
orange bill,<br />

eye ring is<br />

Award-winning conductor’s vision for band<br />
SUMNER SILVER Band has<br />
welcomed an award-winning<br />
conductor into its ranks.<br />
Last year Ray Blampied retired<br />
from his role as musical director<br />
for the band and handed the<br />
baton over to John Mason, of<br />
Tasmania.<br />
Mason has been a member of<br />
the NZ Army Band for seven<br />
years, and also played BBb Bass<br />
with the NZ National Band<br />
at the 2017 world brass band<br />
championships.<br />
He won the BBb Bass solo at<br />
the NZ national championships<br />
in 2016 and 2017, and finished<br />
second in the Eb Bass solo<br />
in 2021. He is also a playing<br />
member of Woolston Band.<br />
Mason’s strategy to ensure a<br />
strong future for the Sumner<br />
band includes the establishment<br />
of a development band to run<br />
alongside the main one. This<br />
group will be open to anyone<br />
from the age of 10 upwards who<br />
has a basic ability on a brass<br />
band instrument and wishes to<br />
build on this by playing in an<br />
ensemble.<br />
It will meet on Thursdays<br />
at Redcliffs School, prior to<br />
the main Sumner band<br />
practice.<br />
Mason is also available as a<br />
brass instrument teacher and<br />
can be contacted via the band’s<br />
website.<br />
Although the RSA has<br />
decided to limit the Anzac Day<br />
commemoration in Sumner<br />
this year, the band will still be<br />
playing before and after the short<br />
service at the memorial gates.<br />
As a community band Sumner<br />
is always ready to welcome brass<br />
players into its ranks. The band<br />
practises from 6.30-8.30pm<br />
every Thursday evening at<br />
Redcliffs School.<br />
Contact Peter Croft on 3849<br />
534 or visit the band’s website if<br />
you are interested.<br />
HELM: John<br />
Mason, the<br />
conductor for<br />
Sumner Silver<br />
Band, intends<br />
to establish a<br />
development<br />
band to run<br />
alongside the<br />
main one.<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> benefits from Jobs for Nature<br />
NEW COLLABORATION: Many locals are employed in<br />
the programme and are learning how to make a positive<br />
contribution to conservation.<br />
LOADED UP: Daniel Byrnes (centre photo), Kamahi for Nature team member at Rāpaki,<br />
out setting traps. So far the team have removed 400 pest animals.<br />
‘BY MANY hands the task<br />
is completed’ is the new<br />
programme bringing together<br />
conservation workers to restore<br />
the environment of Lyttelton<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
Conservation Volunteers<br />
New Zealand (Ōtautahi) has<br />
partnered with Te Hapū o Ngāti<br />
Wheke at Rāpaki, and Living<br />
Springs at Allendale, to manage<br />
a restoration programme in<br />
Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
The programme is called He<br />
rau ringa e oti ai – by many<br />
hands the task is completed.<br />
“Our goals are to increase<br />
resilience through the protection,<br />
maintenance and restoration of<br />
the environment, following the<br />
Whaka-Ora Healthy <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
management plan. This aims to<br />
restore the harbour ki uta ki tai<br />
(from mountains to the sea),”<br />
said Conservation Volunteers<br />
New Zealand co-ordinator Katie<br />
Dunlop.<br />
The programme is funded<br />
for three years through the<br />
Department of Conservation’s<br />
Jobs for Nature fund and will<br />
employ 48 people over three<br />
years.<br />
Many locals are employed<br />
in the programme and<br />
are learning how to make<br />
a positive contribution to<br />
conservation, through the<br />
provision of practical, naturebased<br />
experiences and skill<br />
development.<br />
The benefits for Lyttelton<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> are wide-spread and<br />
numerous. The current focus<br />
is on managing pest, plant and<br />
animal species at Living Springs<br />
and Rāpaki, restoration of native<br />
habitat through riparian and<br />
general planting projects, and<br />
community engagement.<br />
One of the overall goals is<br />
to improve the water quality<br />
in the harbour by reducing<br />
sedimentation.<br />
So far on Rāpaki land the team<br />
have removed over 400 pest<br />
animals and will be planting<br />
over 12,000 trees and plants this<br />
coming planting season starting<br />
in May.

A BIG thank you to our local<br />
community board member<br />
Darrell Latham for drawing<br />
the community’s attention to<br />
the appalling state of the seats<br />
on the Sumner promenade. It<br />
looks more like a war zone<br />
than the most popular<br />
promenade and beach in<br />
Christchurch.<br />
Extensive upgrading of the<br />
promenade was included in the<br />
Coastal Pathway design plans.<br />
But for some reason a decision<br />
was then made by (city) council<br />
staff to exclude it from the<br />
implementation plans.<br />
Clearly a major upgrade<br />
of the promenade is needed.<br />
With sea level rise and bigger<br />
storms the seawall will need to<br />
be strengthened and raised as<br />
part of this project. Councillors<br />
should be making a decision now<br />
to initiate this project.<br />
In the meantime the seats<br />
should be brought up to a<br />
reasonable standard, the weeds<br />
sprayed, the multiple lakes near<br />
Stoke St raised and resealed, and<br />
pathways of smooth seal laid<br />
between each seawall stairway<br />
and its beach ramp so that people<br />
using the beach can walk in bare<br />
feet in comfort.<br />
–Alisdair Hutchison,<br />
Sumner<br />
Not-so clean or<br />
green<br />
My wife and I walked our dog<br />
from Mt Pleasant to Sumner return.<br />
On our way to Sumner while<br />
crossing the causeway we were<br />
prepared with a bag from our car<br />
to uplift the odd piece of litter.<br />
We don’t like walking past disposed<br />
plastic and other rubbish.<br />
We feel we’d be as lazy as the people<br />
dropping it, if we were to walk<br />
past it without picking it up.<br />
Within five minutes of starting<br />
the walk, we located an abandoned<br />
suitcase in the estuary.<br />
We then crossed the causeway<br />
with it and by the time we got to<br />
Beachville Rd the suitcase was<br />
full of other litter, cans, bottles,<br />
plastics – all would have ended<br />
up in the estuary.<br />
Whatever happened to the<br />
tidy Kiwi and clean green New<br />
Zealand? It shocked us at just<br />
how much rubbish there was,<br />
most likely thrown from passing<br />
cars. It was all destined for the<br />
ocean. Shocker.<br />
–Earle Borrell<br />
FIX IT UP: Reader Alisdair Hutchison said the seats<br />
along the Sumner promenade should be improved,<br />
and the weeds sprayed.<br />

Lane’s Emulsion<br />
FOR MANY years through<br />
the early to mid 20th-century,<br />
passengers travelling home on<br />
the Lyttelton express train from<br />
the city would emerge from the<br />
dark train tunnel to the view of<br />
the ships in port and the then<br />
famous “Lane’s Emulsion” sign<br />
halfway up the eastern slopes<br />
below the Timeball Station.<br />
A good view of the sign c.<br />
1935 can be seen in the top<br />
right corner of our photograph<br />
from the Museum’s collection,<br />
overlooking the young men from<br />
the Lyttelton Main School diving<br />
off the Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> ferry<br />
jetty.<br />
Lane’s Emulsion was the 1898<br />
invention of one Mr Edward<br />
(Ted) C Lane, chemist, of Oamaru.<br />
His old factory from 1908, in<br />
Oamaru’s historic precinct, still<br />
bears the Lane’s Emulsion trademark<br />
and motto: “It’s Famous<br />
because It’s Good,” and next<br />
time you’re in Oamaru be sure<br />
to check it out at the <strong>Harbour</strong> St<br />
Bakery and Deja Moo Icecream<br />
Parlour.<br />
The main ingredients were cod<br />
liver oil and beechwood creosote,<br />
as well as salts of lime and soda,<br />
brandy (as a solvent!), and various<br />
‘secret ingredients’ including<br />
cinnamon and saccharin, with<br />
egg yolks as an emulsifier to bind<br />
the concoction together.<br />
The resulting opaque yellow,<br />
creamy emulsion with its<br />
distinctive smoky–fishy–spice<br />
flavour profile was marketed as<br />
a general tonic as well as “blood<br />
purifier” and a cure-all for consumption<br />
(tuberculosis), croup,<br />
bronchitis, asthma, catarrh, and<br />
other ailments of the throat and<br />
lung.<br />
In spite of its rather unique<br />
taste and texture – Ted’s own<br />
daughter Molly admitted “I<br />
didn’t like it!” – Lane’s Emulsion<br />
was a healthy mainstay for<br />
generations of New Zealand and<br />
even Australian children.<br />
Ted opened a branch factory<br />
in Melbourne sometime in the<br />
1920s, with international sales in<br />
Britain and around the Pacific.<br />
While the health benefits may<br />
have been perhaps questionable,<br />
and a spoon of cod liver oil<br />
much cheaper if perhaps less<br />
palatable, Ted Lane also excelled<br />
at marketing, with signage and<br />
graphics appearing on buildings<br />
and banners around the country<br />
as well as old Melbourne city,<br />
and of course in our own port of<br />
Lyttelton.<br />
The old Lane’s Emulsion sign<br />
below the Timeball Station<br />
remained into the 1960s, until it<br />
apparently burnt down, some say<br />
in an act of arson.<br />
While Ted passed on in 1947,<br />
the business continued along<br />
with its famous brand until the<br />
last bottle of Lane’s Emulsion<br />
shuttled off the production line<br />
in 1984, no doubt a victim of<br />
the so-called ‘modern vitamin<br />
industry’.<br />
Crombie and Price of Oamaru<br />
bought the business in 1971<br />
and still hold the rights to the<br />
recipe, with an approved Lane’s<br />
Emulsion flavoured ice cream<br />
being released by Deja Moo in<br />
2014 … minus the cod liver oil<br />
and creosote but apparently still<br />
quite medicinal – “Take None<br />
But Lane’s”.<br />

Terauoriwa Gapper combining motherhood<br />
and playing rugby.<br />
Coming off a busy few weeks with<br />
Matatū, you’d forgive Terauoriwa<br />
Gapper if she looked to take a few breaks<br />
here and there. However, the mother of<br />
three is looking ahead to the club rugby<br />
season, thanks to her involvement with<br />
the University of Canterbury Premier<br />
Women’s side and her kids with Lyttelton<br />
and Shirley Boys’ High School. It sets<br />
up a busy time of year for Gapper, but<br />
one that she enjoys and looks forward to<br />
every year.<br />
“As we’ve increased the opportunities<br />
for us at the high-performance level, it<br />
has helped emphasis the importance of<br />
club rugby for me.” said Gapper.<br />
It’s something that Gapper is being able<br />
to experience from the sidelines too,<br />
with all three of her children playing<br />
rugby in the community game, with her<br />
two youngest playing out of Lyttelton<br />
and her oldest set to play for Shirley<br />
Boys’ High School this year.<br />
“All three of my children played for<br />
Lyttelton last year which was pretty<br />
cool, and they love playing rugby. For<br />
them, it’s all about having fun and the<br />
friendships that they have in their rugby<br />
team, and the club (Lyttelton) really<br />
makes that for them. It’s been awesome<br />
to see their love of rugby develop over<br />
the last few years.”<br />
“With Club Rugby being one of our only<br />
pathways for so long, it has provided<br />
a great place for the talent and depth<br />
in our game to develop, providing that<br />
opportunity for anyone<br />
to play the game, such<br />
as myself when I first<br />
started, and grow that<br />
skill base.”<br />
Beginning her rugby<br />
journey in 2015<br />
following playing<br />
netball, Gapper’s career<br />
has gone from strength<br />
to strength, with the<br />
club game a key driver<br />
in her success.<br />
“Now that we have both Super Rugby<br />
and Farah Palmer Cup, it is really<br />
important for us to still be involved in<br />
the club game and help continue that<br />
development that has been so key in how<br />
we got to where we are now.”<br />
For them, it’s all<br />
about having<br />
fun and the<br />
friendships that<br />
they have in their<br />
rugby team”<br />
- Terauoriwa Gapper<br />
“It’s been great too integrating in to a<br />
second club, Jaakoby, my oldest, has<br />
been there the last five years, so with<br />
him playing and my husband, James,<br />
coaching, we’ve been<br />
able to really feel a part<br />
of the Lyttelton club!”<br />
said Gapper.<br />
“It’s been a very handson<br />
experience, and<br />
there’s some great<br />
people out there making<br />
the club what it is.”<br />
Since making the<br />
leap into the game,<br />
Terauoriwa Gapper has<br />
certainly enjoyed her<br />
experience in the game, urging people<br />
to get involved and give it a go in <strong>2022</strong>.<br />
“It’s really important to give it a go, you<br />
learn so much about yourself and the<br />
friendships you make are those that<br />
will last you a lifetime.”<br />
Gapper said, something<br />
that she remains the perfect<br />
example for as another<br />
season awaits!<br />

Subaru Forester provides that extra grip<br />
A FRIEND AND I were talking<br />
about his new car. Well, it’s not<br />
new, but it is a late model frontwheel-drive<br />
wagon with a high<br />
power engine.<br />
He was telling me how much he<br />
misses the four-wheel-drive system<br />
of his previous car – a Volkswagen<br />
Passat. He says the 4Motion system<br />
that car incorporated provided<br />
stability and surety in a corner,<br />
something front-wheel-drive only<br />
doesn’t provide to the same extent.<br />
I can attest to that, every time<br />
I get in a car with four-wheeldrive<br />
I’m immediately aware of<br />
the feel that gives you, that solid<br />
connection with the road. There’s<br />
none more notable than Subaru’s<br />
symmetrical full-time four-wheeldrive<br />
network, it’s a cracker in<br />
terms of how it makes you feel such<br />
a part of the car.<br />
That drive system is part of every<br />
new Subaru sold in this country<br />
and is one of the elements that<br />
make the Forester sport utility<br />
vehicle such a trusted and popular<br />
model within Subaru’s line-up.<br />
The Forester has just had a<br />
facelift for <strong>2022</strong> and the changes<br />
include revised headlights, fog<br />
lights, front bumper and grille<br />
treatment.<br />
The range also gets greater<br />
technology, the Eyesight driver<br />
assistance network has additional<br />
functions such as lane centering<br />
monitoring, lane departure<br />
prevention and autonomous<br />
emergency steering.<br />
Subaru’s off-road X-mode<br />
system has also been advanced to<br />
re-engage once the vehicle speed<br />
drops to 35km/h or less. There is a<br />
multitude of other goodies added<br />
across the range including a driver<br />
gesture system to adjust internal<br />
temperature.<br />
However, it’s fair to say the<br />
entry-level model as tested doesn’t<br />
get all of the enhancements but,<br />
nevertheless, the Forester as a range<br />
hasn’t lost any of the fundamentals<br />
that have made it the vehicle of<br />
choice for everyday transport and<br />
adventure-seekers alike. The latter,<br />
particularly, it is a popular SUV in<br />
the ski-field car park and anywhere<br />
where that little bit of extra grip is<br />
needed.<br />
That well-proven method of<br />
getting drive to the road, or any<br />
surface for that matter, is also<br />
matched by another Subaru point<br />
of difference. The 2.5-litre petrol<br />
engine is a boxer type, or just like<br />
my family’s old Jowett Javelin and<br />
Volkswagen’s of my childhood, a<br />
horizontally-opposed engine.<br />
As advances in technology<br />
would have it, the Forester’s boxer<br />
engine is state-of-the art with twinoverhead<br />
camshafts and four valves<br />
over each piston. Unlike some<br />
turbocharged Forester models from<br />
the past, the Forester has been sans<br />
turbo here since around 2012, and<br />
really it doesn’t need forced boost,<br />
it is a strong engine and the power<br />
outputs reflect that.<br />
Subaru claims peak power<br />
STABLE: Full-time four-wheel-drive platform provides grip<br />
when weather is at its worst.<br />
SUBARU FORESTER: Entry-level model still has plenty of goodies.<br />
of 136kW with 239Nm of<br />
torque. While these figures<br />
arrive at 5800rpm and 4400rpm<br />
respectively, it must be taken<br />
into account that there is a lot<br />
of natural torque developed by<br />
the flat-four design. Response to<br />
accelerator request is delightful<br />
with a solid impetus developed and<br />
transmitted through the freedom of<br />
a continuously variable automatic<br />
transmission. Subaru has been<br />
developing the driveline constantly<br />
for as long as I can remember<br />
and today’s system is smooth,<br />
responsive, forceful yet frugal.<br />
Along with the elements needed<br />
to keep pace with today’s traffic,<br />
the fuel usage engineers have been<br />
constantly leaning out the boxer<br />
unit to a point where today it is<br />
little different to any inline fourcylinder<br />
engine with much the<br />
same power outputs.<br />
Subaru claims a combined cycle<br />
average of 7.4-litres per 100km for<br />
the 2498cc unit. During my testing<br />
time the fuel usage readout was<br />
listing a constant 8l/100km figure,<br />
which isn’t that far distant.<br />
At 100km/h the tachometer is<br />
pointing to a lazy 1500rpm, the<br />
engine merely sipping fuel at the<br />
rate of 5.5l/100km.<br />
On the subject of figures, the<br />
Forester will also accelerate to<br />
100km/h in 9.5sec and will make<br />
a highway overtake of 6.6sec (80-<br />
120km/h).<br />
One of the other benefits of the<br />
Forester’s driveline is that with the<br />
way the engine is laid flat, much of<br />
• Price – Subaru Forester,<br />

• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 9.5sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 7.4/100km<br />
its weight sits low in the sub-frame.<br />
That keeps the centre of gravity<br />
low, maintaining balance and<br />
composure in a corner. Sport utility<br />
vehicles are not ordinarily known<br />
for their handling prowess, but the<br />
Forester has tidy handling manners<br />
and much feel through the steering.<br />
I mentioned that involving<br />
aspect of the Forester’s make-up<br />
in my introduction, it keeps the<br />
driver fully informed of the way<br />
it is handling cornering pressure.<br />
Subaru has revised the spring and<br />
damper rates on the Forester, ride<br />
comfort has been made greater and<br />
there seems to be little effect on the<br />
way the vehicle works in a corner.<br />
I’ve written many times over<br />
the years how double wishbone<br />
suspension provides a stable<br />
platform and the Forester benefits<br />
from that system at the rear. Up<br />
front a tradition strut system is<br />
utilised.<br />
The Forester lands here in three<br />
specifications, but take into account<br />
that there are actually five models<br />
to choose from, two of those being<br />
hybrids. I’ve driven the latter and<br />
can report that the hybrid is also<br />
a worthy proposition if you feel<br />
like doing just that little bit of<br />
something for the environment.<br />
As mentioned the evaluation car<br />
was the base model non-hybrid<br />
and it sits at $42,990. If you like a<br />
little bit of extra bling, the X-Sport<br />
model adds $5k while and all the<br />
bells and whistles Premium variant<br />
lists at $52,990. The hybrids start at<br />
$47,990.<br />
All have the same fundamentals<br />
underneath, and bear in mind<br />
that all variants come away with<br />
a five-star Australasian New Car<br />
Assessment Program safety rating.<br />
My wife and I have been talking<br />
about the vehicle we need to have<br />
when I retire, we can’t afford to<br />
run our old Toyota, it’s simply too<br />
thirsty.<br />
There’s a Subaru on the wish<br />
list, but we can’t afford a Forester<br />
so I’m thinking seriously about<br />
an XV. It’s just a little smaller than<br />
the Forester and it has just a 2-litre<br />
engine, but it’s also a car that<br />
gives you that full-on Subaru feel<br />
through the driveline; that’s a safety<br />
element as well as something that<br />
will give you grip when the worst<br />
weather hits Canterbury.<br />
It’s really just a matter of<br />
convincing my wife now is the time<br />
to get that order in.<br />
