PASSION, HOURS of training, 

and good family support is the 

recipe for success in becoming a 

teen cycling national champion. 

But the talented 17-year-old 

Amelia Sykes of Sumner is 

honest about the toll it takes 

on other aspects of her life like 

school and her social life, not to 

mention the exhaustion. 

Amelia recently competed 

in the track national 

championships in Cambridge 

where she won four titles – the 

500m time trial, the points race, 

the individual pursuit and the 

elimination race. She was 

also second in another three 

events.

Thousands 

stolen from 

woman’s 

account 

after car 

broken into 

• By Niva Chittock and Kristie 

Boland 

A WOMAN has been left reeling 

after thieves broke into her 

car then used ATMs to steal 

thousands of dollars from her 

savings. 

And they did it without the 

password for her online banking 

account or her pin number. 

Waveney Teale-Russ was on a 

walk on Saturday afternoon, when 

her car window was smashed in 

Naval Point car park. 

Teale-Russ’s car was one of six 

vehicle break-ins at Naval Point 

last week. Prompting Naval Point 

Club manager Richard Matterson 

to ask the Banks Peninsula 

Community Board for funding to 

install more security cameras in 

the car park. 

Matterson said he had been 

made aware of “half a dozen or 

so” break-ins since the beginning 

of the year and six in the past 

week alone. 

“They clearly know what they’re 

doing, fully hooded, masked and 

with binoculars to check out for 

cameras,” Matterson said.

THAT’S A winning smile on 

the front page today. 

Amelia Sykes is a young 

cyclist going places. She has 

returned from the national 

track championships with four 

gold medals. 

But that sort of success 

doesn’t come easy. 

She says passion, hours of 

training, and good family and 

coaching support is the recipe 

for her winning way. She got 

the cycling bug from her dad, 

Julian, five years ago.

Vandals throw benches, mats 

from Sumner Lifeboat station 


VOLUNTEER SEARCH and 

rescue station Sumner Lifeboat 

has been vandalised over the 

weekend. 

On Sunday night, a person 

climbed up onto the station balcony 

and threw the benches and 

mats into the car park. 

There is 

video footage 

of the culprit 

but they have 

been unable to 

get an ID on 

the vehicle used 

said Sumner 

Howard 

Nicholls 

Lifeboat board 

member Howard 

Nicholls. 

Nicholls posted images to the 

Sumner Facebook Community 

Page asking people to keep an 

eye out and phone the police if 

they have any information on 

who the vandal might be or if 

they saw anything suspicious 

around the lifeboat station. 

“This sort of thing happens 

occasionally. It’s frustrating for 

us as a volunteer search and 

rescue organisation to have 

to waste our time sorting out 

vandalism. But more positively, 

we appreciate the great support

of locals,” Nicholls said. 

Meanwhile, Nicholls said 

they are asking for “patience not 

abuse” from the public when the 

search and rescue crew is launching 

the boats used to save lives. 

Parking near the lifeboat 

station in Scarborough on 

weekends can sometimes be 

“chaotic,” with crew trying to 

find space to leave their vehicles 

HIKING BOOTS 

& SHOES 

and launch boats to attend an 

incident, Nicholls said. 

Often the crew needs to block 

off access to the car park while 

they launch. 

“Most people are really helpful 

but unfortunately not all. We ask 

for patience not abuse,” he said. 

Nicholls said the crew will 

now be using traffic cones to 

block the car park off for a short 

time to create a safe space while 

they move their boats from the 

shed to launch them from the 

ramp. 

“We want to thank the locals 

and surfers that aid us. People 

are always helping out,” he said. 

Sumner Lifeboat is a unit of 

Coast Guard New Zealand and 

there are crew members on call

$400,000 

grant will help 

band get into 

new building 

• By Emily Moorhouse 

AFTER YEARS of using an 

earthquake-damaged band room 

the Woolston Brass has been 

given a grant to help with its 

rebuild project. 

Woolston Brass will receive 

$400,000 over the next two 

financial years, coming from the 

city council’s Capital Endowment 

Fund, $270,000 has been granted 

for the 21/22 financial year, and 

$130,000 for the 23/24 financial 

year. 

The existing band room 

located at 37 Dampier St was 

built in 1905 but suffered 

significant earthquake damage. 

While the band room continues 

to be used by around 200 regular 

members and nine external 

organisations, the city council 

has advised the rebuild will be 

undertaken by 2025. 

Woolston Brass members 

believe they will have raised 

sufficient funds by mid-2023 to 

begin construction, finishing in 

late 2024. 

The proposed rebuild design 

consists of two floors with a range 

of performance areas, tuition 

spaces and storage spaces and will 

have accessible parking.

• From page 1 

An average day for Amelia 

means waking up early for her 

favourite meal, porridge, then 

heading off to Avonside Girls 

High School. 

She tries to eat as much as she 

can throughout the day for the 

much needed energy necessary 

to train after school. Carbs are 

a must. 

“If you’re in sport like me, it 

pays to really like eating food 

and the right food,” Amelia 

said. 

After school, five days a week, 

she trains for between one hour 

to four hours, depending on 

what race she has coming up. 

She also trains on the 

weekend, usually giving herself 

one day of rest. 

“I do find it really hard and 

sometimes quite draining, 

getting home from school and 

training can be exhausting but 

I think I manage it okay. I have 

good support from family, my 

coach and friends,” Amelia said. 

She first got into cycling five 

years ago when her father, Julian 

Sykes, introduced the sport to 

her. 

“He took me down to the 

track cycling one day and I just 

fell in love with it from there,” 

she said. 

Amelia has always been into 

more extreme sports. Before 

cycling she was an ice speed 

skater. 

Elyse Fraser has coached 

her for four years now. Amelia 

said she looks to Fraser for

inspiration. 

“She understands me as a 

person, she’s also done all the 

races before, she’s a very good 

coach,” Amelia said. 

She has big plans for her 

future in cycling. She hopes 

to start with racing in the 

junior track cycling world 

championships in Israel this 

year. 

“I would like to go as far as 

I can, whether that’s the world 

champs, the Olympics or the 

Commonwealth Games,” she 

said. 

Having big goals like this 

means life as a 17-year-old looks 

a little different for Amelia who 

still tries to keep as much of a 

social life as she can. 

“I do miss out on parties but I 

don’t find that a bad thing. I’m 

not interested in partying and 

drinking I would rather focus 

on my sport and have my set 

goals. 

“I’m happy to just be in 

everyone’s company and not 

have to drink just to fit in with 

everyone else like I’m pretty 

happy to be who I am and doing 

my thing but still be social with 

everyone else,” she said. 

While she has a strong focus 

on her goals, Amelia also makes 

sure to enjoy being young. 

“There is a time to be serious 

about it but there’s also a time 

to just realise that you’re young 

and to enjoy it for what it is,” she 

said. 

“It is hard being in this sport 

but it’s very rewarding.’’

Teale-Russ’s phone and wallet 

were hidden in the car boot and 

were stolen along with many other 

items. 

Despair became worse an hour 

later, when she rang the bank and 

discovered the thieves had also 

ransacked her account. 

“I thought I would only have to 

cancel my card and then my luck 

would return but they informed 

me that my internet banking 

passcode had been changed 15 

minutes prior to this call and 

thousands of dollars from your 

savings account have been transferred 

into your main account,” 

she explained. 

“They then proceeded to tell me 

that several thousands of dollars 

had been withdrawn from ATM 

machines.” 

Teale-Russ said she is shocked 

the thieves transferred large 

amounts of money, changed her 

online banking password and 

the pin number of her debit card, 

without raising alarm. 

“There seemed to be no red flags 

in the ANZ department. I didn’t 

receive an email notification, 

and if I received a call or text it 

wouldn’t have mattered because 

my phone was stolen. 

“You’d think any sudden 

withdrawal of $1000 cash from 

an ATM would spark some kind 

of concern from the bank,” Teale- 

Russ said.

ANZ said it cannot discuss 

security measures for privacy 

reasons, but in a statement confirmed 

it has a fraud monitoring 

system in place. 

If fraud is suspected, it will 

make a call on whether or not the 

account should be blocked, while 

trying to reach the customer. 

But Teale-Russ said it was her 

call which alerted the bank to the 

issue. 

She said there has been no 

sense of urgency from ANZ and 

while she felt listened to, she no 

longer feels safe banking with 

them. 

“They print your customer 

number, which is a vital piece 

of information to log into your 

internet banking, on the back of 

the debit card.” 

When ordering a new card 

Teale-Russ asked if it would be 

possible to get a card without the 

number on it. 

“They said ‘no sorry, that’s just 

the way it is’. Definitely ANZ 

needs to think about introducing 

something new.” 

The thieves used this number 

and information from her phone 

to access Teale-Russ’s account. 

However, ANZ said it encourages 

customers to familiarise 

themselves with the security and 

message settings on devices to 

add an extra layer of protection 

when using text notification 

services. 


Banking ombudsman Nicola 

Sladden said actions like those 

detailed in Teale-Russ’s case, 

should sound the alarm to most 

banks. 

“Banks’ fraud detection systems 

should be robust and should 

be focused on identifying and 

preventing unauthorised transactions.” 

“We would expect banks to 

have pretty rigorous procedures 

and if an unauthorised transaction 

happens, we would expect 

the bank to promptly put the 

matter right for the customer.” 

While banks have an obligation 

to protect accounts, people 

should look out for their security 

too, Sladden said. 

Teale-Russ has now been reimbursed 

while the police continue 

to investigate the theft. 

Police said car thefts in the 

city have increased in recent 

weeks and they are monitoring 

areas where break-ins have been 

reported. 

Prevention is key and people 

should always lock their car, even 

in their own driveway, Senior 

Sergeant Roy Appley said. 

“Avoid leaving valuables in 

your car and if you have to leave 

them there, make sure they are 

out of sight,” Appley said.

Toi Tu Toi Ora 

Contemporary Maori art 

by nigel Borell 

The story of contemporary Maori art from the 1950s to the present day, with more than 200 artworks by 

110 Maori artists, this is a powerful, dynamic new book. Maori art is unique among all art movements, 

and to Aotearoa New Zealand. 

Drawing on centuries of indigenous knowledge and skill, it reflects a Maori world view, life in this land 

and the debates that continue to shape it. 

Based on the ground-breaking 2020-21 exhibition staged by Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki, and 

edited by the show’s curator Nigel Borell, Toi Tu Toi Ora tells the story of contemporary Maori art from the 

1950s to the present day, with more than 200 works by 110 Maori artists. 

From carving to painting, video art to jewellery, body adornment to weaving, this is a powerful expression 

of the vast creativity and diversity within Maori art, linked across time and place through the Maori 

creation story and revealing profound connections to whakapapa, to whenua and to the spiritual world. 

Every work is illustrated in full colour and described in illuminating captions that are bilingual in English 

and te reo Maori. 

Always Remember Your Name 

a true story of Family and survival in auschwitz 

by andra Bucci and tatiana Bucci 

A haunting WWII memoir of two sisters who survived Auschwitz that picks up where Anne Frank’s Diary 

left off and gives voice to the children we lost. 

On March 28, 1944, six-year-old Tati and her four-year-old sister Andra were roused from their sleep and 

arrested. Along with their mother, Mira, their aunt, and cousin Sergio, they were deported to Auschwitz. 

Over 230,000 children were deported to the camp, where Josef Mengele, the Angel of Death, performed 

deadly experiments on them. Only a few dozen children survived, Tati and Andra among them.Tati, 

Andra, and Sergio were separated from their mothers upon arrival. But Mira was determined to keep track 

of her girls. After being tattooed with their inmate numbers, she made them memorize her number and 

told them to “always remember your name.” In keeping this promise to their mother, the sisters were able 

to be reunited with their parents when WWII ended. 

An unforgettable narrative of the power of sisterhood in the most extreme circumstances, and of how a 

mother’s love can overcome the most impossible odds, the Bucci sisters’ memoir is a timely reminder 

that separating families is an inexcusable evil.

“Completely revised and updated. Over 10,000 copies sold of the previous editions. Walking is one 

of the most popular recreational activities in New Zealand. The 365 revised and updated short walks 

presented here mean both locals and overseas visitors will never be at a loss to find a short walk 

anywhere in the country. All of the walks are three hours or less and will suit those who enjoy walking 

but do not want a long tramp with heavy boots and a pack, or travellers who are short on time and those 

with young families. 

MAKE EASTER SPECIAL

Arranged according to region, and prefaced with a handy map overview, it’s easy to see at a glance 

where the walks can be found in each region. Every walk entry has a brief summary, with notes on track 

gradient, access, and walking times. A special feature of the book is the engaging writing style of the 

author, describing history, anecdote, and points of interest along the walk. Two inserts of attractive colour 

photographs highlight particular places of scenic interest in the three main islands of the country. “

Esplanade needs re-grassing after 

botched repair job, residents say 


RESIDENTS ARE “fed up” 

with the state of the grass on 

Beachville Esplanade. 

The Redcliffs Residents Association 

claims the area is looking 

“worse than ever” after a failed 

effort from the city council to 

restore the grassed area last year. 

“The attempt 

at light 

scarification 

and reseeding 

has failed 

dismally, as 

was rather 

expected . . 

. And with 

the Coastal 

Pathway now 

installing seats 

and picnic 

Pat 

McIntosh 

tables, it is embarrassing,” said 

RRA secretary Pat McIntosh. 

The RRA is asking the city 

council to proceed to full reinstatement 

of the grass, along 

with a review of the planting and 

landscaping. 

“They have got to completely 

re-grass it, nothing else is going 

to work,” said McIntosh. 

“We felt at the time the 

contractors weren’t doing a good 

job, the grass was compacted, 

it hadn’t been properly mowed, 

when they sowed it they didn’t 

water it properly and they let the 

weeds grow rampant before they 

actually got around to the first 

mowing,” she said. 

McIntosh 

said the city 

council did 

acknowledge 

it hadn’t been 

done properly. 

Transport 

operations 

manager 

Darrell 

Latham 

Stephen 

Wright said 

city council 

staff intend to visit the site this 

week to evaluate it. 

“Without irrigation and in dry 

conditions it has been difficult 

to establish good grass coverage. 

We will keep trying,” Wright 

said. 

McIntosh said the RRA want 

to know how the city council 

can promptly spend $60,000 

on full replacement of the grass 

in Cranmer Square after the 

anti-mandate occupation, a 

considerably bigger area, and 

still not have the Beachville 

Esplanade area restored. 

“We used to be able to have 

picnics and play games on 

the grassed area. We will be 

complaining again to council 

as it was their fault that this 

turned out so badly after 

the sea wall repairs,” said 

McIntosh. 

Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board member 

Darrell Latham said he is 

working with the RRA on this 

matter and will be bringing 

its concerns to the next board 

meeting on May 13. 

“It’s now time for the council 

to look at full replacement of 

the affected turf areas along 

Beachville Esplanade. Earlier 

attempts at reseeding have failed 

miserably. The job now needs to 

be done properly. Half measures 

don’t work and the council is 

only throwing good money 

after bad if they don’t do the job 

properly,” Latham said.

us your view on the 

esplanade. Email barry@

Black Ferns inspire players of the future 

DIAMOND Harbour School 

pupils went home from school 

dreaming of becoming future 

professional rugby players after 

a visit from two Black Ferns last 

week. 

Black Fern Grace Brooker and 

former Black Fern Stacey Lene 

spent the day with the pupils, 

teaching them valuable skills 

both on and off the field. 

“They made a real effort to 

make it personal. Their stories 

were really inspirational,” said 

Diamond Harbour Rugby Club 

junior club captain Hannah 

Riden. 

Brooker and Lene spent time 

talking about their training and 

eating habits as professional 

athletes. They also shared clips 

from their games and answered 

the many questions thrown their 

way. 

Then they took the kids out 

to the field to practise what they 

had learned. 

Riden said it was as enjoyable 

for the teachers as it was for the 

students. 

“We all needed the inspiration 

after so many cancelled events 

with Covid, it was uplifting for 

everyone.” 

“I would say there will be a 

few who went home wondering 

if maybe one day they too could 

play rugby for their country,” 

Riden said. 

SKILLS: Black Fern 

Grace Brooker shares 

her expertise with 

Kaiden Whiting. 

KNOWLEDGE: 

Brooker and former 

Black Fern Stacey 

Lene relay their 

experiences with 

Diamond Harbour 

School pupils, then 

it was out to the 

playing field for 

training, including a 

tug of war.

Oyster catcher numbers 

on the rise at estuary 

AN ANNUAL bird count has 

recorded black oyster catcher 

bird numbers are at an all time 

high. 

City council ecologist Andrew 

Crossland said last week 

he counted a record number of 

232 birds at the estuary. 

The bird is 

endemic to 

New Zealand 

and one the 

world’s rarest 

wading 

birds. Also 

known as 

Andrew 

Crossland 

the variable 

oyster 

catcher or 

toreapango. 

The ever-hungry bird, eats day 

and night during low tide and 

can be seen on the mudflats of 

the estuary looking for cockles, 

crabs and marine worms. 

Having adapted somewhat 

to an urban environment, it 

also feeds on earthworms and 

grubs in the Linwood Paddocks 

and the McCormacks 

Bay sport field. 

Unlike its name suggests, 

it does not find oysters in the 

estuary. 

During the 80s, less than 

10 birds were regularly seen 

but numbers have slowly been 

increasing over the years to 

last year when 126 birds were 

counted. 

Crossland has been counting 

the oyster catchers since 1985. 

The total population of this 

species is between five and 

6000 birds. 

Avon-Heathcote Estuary 

Ihutai Trust manager, Tanya 

Jenkins said people can help 

the black oyster catcher other 

estuary birds thrive. 

“When you walk your dog

of being able to report a higher 

count next year.

Award-winning conductor’s vision for band 

SUMNER SILVER Band has 

welcomed an award-winning 

conductor into its ranks. 

Last year Ray Blampied retired 

from his role as musical director 

for the band and handed the 

baton over to John Mason, of 

Tasmania. 

Mason has been a member of 

the NZ Army Band for seven 

years, and also played BBb Bass 

with the NZ National Band 

at the 2017 world brass band 

championships. 

He won the BBb Bass solo at 

the NZ national championships 

in 2016 and 2017, and finished 

second in the Eb Bass solo 

in 2021. He is also a playing 

member of Woolston Band. 

Mason’s strategy to ensure a 

strong future for the Sumner 

band includes the establishment 

of a development band to run 

alongside the main one. This 

group will be open to anyone 

from the age of 10 upwards who 

has a basic ability on a brass 

band instrument and wishes to 

build on this by playing in an 

ensemble. 

It will meet on Thursdays 

at Redcliffs School, prior to 

the main Sumner band 

practice. 

Mason is also available as a 

brass instrument teacher and 

can be contacted via the band’s 

website. 

Although the RSA has 

decided to limit the Anzac Day 

commemoration in Sumner 

this year, the band will still be 

playing before and after the short 

service at the memorial gates. 

As a community band Sumner 

is always ready to welcome brass 

players into its ranks. The band 

practises from 6.30-8.30pm 

every Thursday evening at 

Redcliffs School. 

Contact Peter Croft on 3849 

534 or visit the band’s website if 

you are interested. 

HELM: John 

Mason, the 

conductor for 

Sumner Silver 

Band, intends 

to establish a 

development 

band to run 

alongside the 

main one. 

Harbour benefits from Jobs for Nature 

NEW COLLABORATION: Many locals are employed in 

the programme and are learning how to make a positive 

contribution to conservation. 

LOADED UP: Daniel Byrnes (centre photo), Kamahi for Nature team member at Rāpaki, 

out setting traps. So far the team have removed 400 pest animals. 

‘BY MANY hands the task 

is completed’ is the new 

programme bringing together 

conservation workers to restore 

the environment of Lyttelton 

Harbour. 

Conservation Volunteers 

New Zealand (Ōtautahi) has 

partnered with Te Hapū o Ngāti 

Wheke at Rāpaki, and Living 

Springs at Allendale, to manage 

a restoration programme in 

Lyttelton Harbour. 

The programme is called He 

rau ringa e oti ai – by many 

hands the task is completed. 

“Our goals are to increase 

resilience through the protection, 

maintenance and restoration of 

the environment, following the 

Whaka-Ora Healthy Harbour 

management plan. This aims to 

restore the harbour ki uta ki tai 

(from mountains to the sea),” 

said Conservation Volunteers 

New Zealand co-ordinator Katie 

Dunlop. 

The programme is funded 

for three years through the 

Department of Conservation’s 

Jobs for Nature fund and will 

employ 48 people over three 

years. 

Many locals are employed 

in the programme and 

are learning how to make 

a positive contribution to 

conservation, through the 

provision of practical, naturebased 

experiences and skill 

development. 

The benefits for Lyttelton 

Harbour are wide-spread and 

numerous. The current focus 

is on managing pest, plant and 

animal species at Living Springs 

and Rāpaki, restoration of native 

habitat through riparian and 

general planting projects, and 

community engagement. 

One of the overall goals is 

to improve the water quality 

in the harbour by reducing 

sedimentation. 

So far on Rāpaki land the team 

have removed over 400 pest 

animals and will be planting 

over 12,000 trees and plants this 

coming planting season starting 

in May.

A BIG thank you to our local 

community board member 

Darrell Latham for drawing 

the community’s attention to 

the appalling state of the seats 

on the Sumner promenade. It 

looks more like a war zone 

than the most popular 

promenade and beach in 

Christchurch. 

Extensive upgrading of the 

promenade was included in the 

Coastal Pathway design plans. 

But for some reason a decision 

was then made by (city) council 

staff to exclude it from the 

implementation plans. 

Clearly a major upgrade 

of the promenade is needed. 

With sea level rise and bigger 

storms the seawall will need to 

be strengthened and raised as 

part of this project. Councillors 

should be making a decision now 

to initiate this project. 

In the meantime the seats 

should be brought up to a 

reasonable standard, the weeds 

sprayed, the multiple lakes near 

Stoke St raised and resealed, and 

pathways of smooth seal laid 

between each seawall stairway 

and its beach ramp so that people 

using the beach can walk in bare 

feet in comfort. 

–Alisdair Hutchison, 

Sumner 

Not-so clean or 

green 

My wife and I walked our dog 

from Mt Pleasant to Sumner return. 

On our way to Sumner while 

crossing the causeway we were 

prepared with a bag from our car 

to uplift the odd piece of litter. 

We don’t like walking past disposed 

plastic and other rubbish. 

We feel we’d be as lazy as the people 

dropping it, if we were to walk 

past it without picking it up. 

Within five minutes of starting 

the walk, we located an abandoned 

suitcase in the estuary. 

We then crossed the causeway 

with it and by the time we got to 

Beachville Rd the suitcase was 

full of other litter, cans, bottles, 

plastics – all would have ended 

up in the estuary. 

Whatever happened to the 

tidy Kiwi and clean green New 

Zealand? It shocked us at just 

how much rubbish there was, 

most likely thrown from passing 

cars. It was all destined for the 

ocean. Shocker. 

–Earle Borrell 

FIX IT UP: Reader Alisdair Hutchison said the seats 

along the Sumner promenade should be improved, 

and the weeds sprayed.

Treasures from the past: 

NEWS 15 

Lane’s Emulsion 

FOR MANY years through 

the early to mid 20th-century, 

passengers travelling home on 

the Lyttelton express train from 

the city would emerge from the 

dark train tunnel to the view of 

the ships in port and the then 

famous “Lane’s Emulsion” sign 

halfway up the eastern slopes 

below the Timeball Station. 

A good view of the sign c. 

1935 can be seen in the top 

right corner of our photograph 

from the Museum’s collection, 

overlooking the young men from 

the Lyttelton Main School diving 

off the Diamond Harbour ferry 

jetty. 

Lane’s Emulsion was the 1898 

invention of one Mr Edward 

(Ted) C Lane, chemist, of Oamaru. 

His old factory from 1908, in 

Oamaru’s historic precinct, still 

bears the Lane’s Emulsion trademark 

and motto: “It’s Famous 

because It’s Good,” and next 

time you’re in Oamaru be sure 

to check it out at the Harbour St 

Bakery and Deja Moo Icecream 

Parlour. 

The main ingredients were cod 

liver oil and beechwood creosote, 

as well as salts of lime and soda, 

brandy (as a solvent!), and various 

‘secret ingredients’ including 

cinnamon and saccharin, with 

egg yolks as an emulsifier to bind 

the concoction together. 

The resulting opaque yellow, 

creamy emulsion with its 

distinctive smoky–fishy–spice 

flavour profile was marketed as 

a general tonic as well as “blood 

purifier” and a cure-all for consumption 

(tuberculosis), croup, 

bronchitis, asthma, catarrh, and 

other ailments of the throat and 

lung. 

In spite of its rather unique 

taste and texture – Ted’s own 

daughter Molly admitted “I 

didn’t like it!” – Lane’s Emulsion 

was a healthy mainstay for 

generations of New Zealand and 

even Australian children. 

Ted opened a branch factory 

in Melbourne sometime in the 

1920s, with international sales in 

Britain and around the Pacific. 

While the health benefits may 

have been perhaps questionable, 

and a spoon of cod liver oil 

much cheaper if perhaps less 

palatable, Ted Lane also excelled 

at marketing, with signage and 

graphics appearing on buildings 

and banners around the country 

as well as old Melbourne city, 

and of course in our own port of 

Lyttelton. 

The old Lane’s Emulsion sign 

below the Timeball Station 

remained into the 1960s, until it 

apparently burnt down, some say 

in an act of arson. 

While Ted passed on in 1947, 

the business continued along 

with its famous brand until the 

last bottle of Lane’s Emulsion 

shuttled off the production line 

in 1984, no doubt a victim of 

the so-called ‘modern vitamin 

industry’. 

Crombie and Price of Oamaru 

bought the business in 1971 

and still hold the rights to the 

recipe, with an approved Lane’s 

Emulsion flavoured ice cream 

being released by Deja Moo in 

2014 … minus the cod liver oil 

and creosote but apparently still 

quite medicinal – “Take None 

But Lane’s”.

Terauoriwa Gapper combining motherhood 

and playing rugby. 

Coming off a busy few weeks with 

Matatū, you’d forgive Terauoriwa 

Gapper if she looked to take a few breaks 

here and there. However, the mother of 

three is looking ahead to the club rugby 

season, thanks to her involvement with 

the University of Canterbury Premier 

Women’s side and her kids with Lyttelton 

and Shirley Boys’ High School. It sets 

up a busy time of year for Gapper, but 

one that she enjoys and looks forward to 

every year. 

“As we’ve increased the opportunities 

for us at the high-performance level, it 

has helped emphasis the importance of 

club rugby for me.” said Gapper. 

It’s something that Gapper is being able 

to experience from the sidelines too, 

with all three of her children playing 

rugby in the community game, with her 

two youngest playing out of Lyttelton 

and her oldest set to play for Shirley 

Boys’ High School this year. 

“All three of my children played for 

Lyttelton last year which was pretty 

cool, and they love playing rugby. For 

them, it’s all about having fun and the 

friendships that they have in their rugby 

team, and the club (Lyttelton) really 

makes that for them. It’s been awesome 

to see their love of rugby develop over 

the last few years.” 

“With Club Rugby being one of our only 

pathways for so long, it has provided 

a great place for the talent and depth 

in our game to develop, providing that 

opportunity for anyone 

to play the game, such 

as myself when I first 

started, and grow that 

skill base.” 

Beginning her rugby 

journey in 2015 

following playing 

netball, Gapper’s career 

has gone from strength 

to strength, with the 

club game a key driver 

in her success. 

“Now that we have both Super Rugby 

and Farah Palmer Cup, it is really 

important for us to still be involved in 

the club game and help continue that 

development that has been so key in how 

we got to where we are now.” 

For them, it’s all 

about having 

fun and the 

friendships that 

they have in their 

rugby team” 

- Terauoriwa Gapper 

“It’s been great too integrating in to a 

second club, Jaakoby, my oldest, has 

been there the last five years, so with 

him playing and my husband, James, 

coaching, we’ve been 

able to really feel a part 

of the Lyttelton club!” 

said Gapper. 

“It’s been a very handson 

experience, and 

there’s some great 

people out there making 

the club what it is.” 

Since making the 

leap into the game, 

Terauoriwa Gapper has 

certainly enjoyed her 

experience in the game, urging people 

to get involved and give it a go in 2022. 

“It’s really important to give it a go, you 

learn so much about yourself and the 

friendships you make are those that 

will last you a lifetime.” 

Gapper said, something 

that she remains the perfect 

example for as another 

season awaits!

of being involved in 

rugby this winter, visit

Subaru Forester provides that extra grip 

A FRIEND AND I were talking 

about his new car. Well, it’s not 

new, but it is a late model frontwheel-drive 

wagon with a high 

power engine. 

He was telling me how much he 

misses the four-wheel-drive system 

of his previous car – a Volkswagen 

Passat. He says the 4Motion system 

that car incorporated provided 

stability and surety in a corner, 

something front-wheel-drive only 

doesn’t provide to the same extent. 

I can attest to that, every time 

I get in a car with four-wheeldrive 

I’m immediately aware of 

the feel that gives you, that solid 

connection with the road. There’s 

none more notable than Subaru’s 

symmetrical full-time four-wheeldrive 

network, it’s a cracker in 

terms of how it makes you feel such 

a part of the car. 

That drive system is part of every 

new Subaru sold in this country 

and is one of the elements that 

make the Forester sport utility 

vehicle such a trusted and popular 

model within Subaru’s line-up. 

The Forester has just had a 

facelift for 2022 and the changes 

include revised headlights, fog 

lights, front bumper and grille 

treatment. 

The range also gets greater 

technology, the Eyesight driver 

assistance network has additional 

functions such as lane centering 

monitoring, lane departure 

prevention and autonomous 

emergency steering. 

Subaru’s off-road X-mode 

system has also been advanced to 

re-engage once the vehicle speed 

drops to 35km/h or less. There is a 

multitude of other goodies added 

across the range including a driver 

gesture system to adjust internal 

temperature. 

However, it’s fair to say the 

entry-level model as tested doesn’t 

get all of the enhancements but, 

nevertheless, the Forester as a range 

hasn’t lost any of the fundamentals 

that have made it the vehicle of 

choice for everyday transport and 

adventure-seekers alike. The latter, 

particularly, it is a popular SUV in 

the ski-field car park and anywhere 

where that little bit of extra grip is 

needed. 

That well-proven method of 

getting drive to the road, or any 

surface for that matter, is also 

matched by another Subaru point 

of difference. The 2.5-litre petrol 

engine is a boxer type, or just like 

my family’s old Jowett Javelin and 

Volkswagen’s of my childhood, a 

horizontally-opposed engine. 

As advances in technology 

would have it, the Forester’s boxer 

engine is state-of-the art with twinoverhead 

camshafts and four valves 

over each piston. Unlike some 

turbocharged Forester models from 

the past, the Forester has been sans 

turbo here since around 2012, and 

really it doesn’t need forced boost, 

it is a strong engine and the power 

outputs reflect that. 

Subaru claims peak power 

STABLE: Full-time four-wheel-drive platform provides grip 

when weather is at its worst. 

SUBARU FORESTER: Entry-level model still has plenty of goodies. 

of 136kW with 239Nm of 

torque. While these figures 

arrive at 5800rpm and 4400rpm 

respectively, it must be taken 

into account that there is a lot 

of natural torque developed by 

the flat-four design. Response to 

accelerator request is delightful 

with a solid impetus developed and 

transmitted through the freedom of 

a continuously variable automatic 

transmission. Subaru has been 

developing the driveline constantly 

for as long as I can remember 

and today’s system is smooth, 

responsive, forceful yet frugal. 

Along with the elements needed 

to keep pace with today’s traffic, 

the fuel usage engineers have been 

constantly leaning out the boxer 

unit to a point where today it is 

little different to any inline fourcylinder 

engine with much the 

same power outputs. 

Subaru claims a combined cycle 

average of 7.4-litres per 100km for 

the 2498cc unit. During my testing 

time the fuel usage readout was 

listing a constant 8l/100km figure, 

which isn’t that far distant. 

At 100km/h the tachometer is 

pointing to a lazy 1500rpm, the 

engine merely sipping fuel at the 

rate of 5.5l/100km. 

On the subject of figures, the 

Forester will also accelerate to 

100km/h in 9.5sec and will make 

a highway overtake of 6.6sec (80- 

120km/h). 

One of the other benefits of the 

Forester’s driveline is that with the 

way the engine is laid flat, much of 

• Price – Subaru Forester, 

$42,990

its weight sits low in the sub-frame. 

That keeps the centre of gravity 

low, maintaining balance and 

composure in a corner. Sport utility 

vehicles are not ordinarily known 

for their handling prowess, but the 

Forester has tidy handling manners 

and much feel through the steering. 

I mentioned that involving 

aspect of the Forester’s make-up 

in my introduction, it keeps the 

driver fully informed of the way 

it is handling cornering pressure. 

Subaru has revised the spring and 

damper rates on the Forester, ride 

comfort has been made greater and 

there seems to be little effect on the 

way the vehicle works in a corner. 

I’ve written many times over 

the years how double wishbone 

suspension provides a stable 

platform and the Forester benefits 

from that system at the rear. Up 

front a tradition strut system is 

utilised. 

The Forester lands here in three 

specifications, but take into account 

that there are actually five models 

to choose from, two of those being 

hybrids. I’ve driven the latter and 

can report that the hybrid is also 

a worthy proposition if you feel 

like doing just that little bit of 

something for the environment. 

As mentioned the evaluation car 

was the base model non-hybrid 

and it sits at $42,990. If you like a 

little bit of extra bling, the X-Sport 

model adds $5k while and all the 

bells and whistles Premium variant 

lists at $52,990. The hybrids start at 

$47,990. 

All have the same fundamentals 

underneath, and bear in mind 

that all variants come away with 

a five-star Australasian New Car 

Assessment Program safety rating. 

My wife and I have been talking 

about the vehicle we need to have 

when I retire, we can’t afford to 

run our old Toyota, it’s simply too 

thirsty. 

There’s a Subaru on the wish 

list, but we can’t afford a Forester 

so I’m thinking seriously about 

an XV. It’s just a little smaller than 

the Forester and it has just a 2-litre 

engine, but it’s also a car that 

gives you that full-on Subaru feel 

through the driveline; that’s a safety 

element as well as something that 

will give you grip when the worst 

weather hits Canterbury. 

It’s really just a matter of 

convincing my wife now is the time 

to get that order in.
