Christchurch Arena<br />
Theatre show ‘an hour<br />
of madness’ – Judkins<br />
Speed<br />
reductions<br />
for nine<br />
Scarborough<br />
roads<br />
• By Mick Jensen<br />
A MUSICAL written and<br />
performed by Sumner identity<br />
Robin Judkins will receive its<br />
‘‘world’’ premiere at the James<br />
Hay Theatre on Saturday,<br />
and could also be destined<br />
for next year’s Edinburgh<br />
Fringe Festival.<br />
Free Bus To God was written<br />
by Judkins over two-and-a-half<br />
years. It’s about a group of<br />
musicians who, with nowhere to<br />
rehearse, use an old municipal<br />
bus and drive around on<br />
Sundays picking up their players<br />
– and anyone else at the bus<br />
stop.<br />
Judkins, who is well-known as<br />
the founder of the Coast to Coast<br />
race, said he was excited to get his<br />
musical on stage at last.<br />
‘‘We tried to put it on last<br />
year in Lyttelton and again in<br />
PHOTO: JOHN COSGROVE<br />
February this year, but Covid<br />
prevented it happening.<br />
‘‘Myself and the entire crew<br />
involved are so excited to be<br />
performing it at the James Hay<br />
– we’ll have to take everything<br />
up a notch now,’’ he joked.<br />

MOTORISTS travelling through<br />
Scarborough will notice new,<br />
lower speed limits coming into<br />
effect on nine roads over the next<br />
few months.<br />
The city council has adopted<br />
changes which will see the speed<br />
limits reduced from 50km/h to<br />
40km/h as part of its Slow Speeds<br />
Neighbourhood programme.<br />
The streets with lowered speed<br />
limits are – Scarborough Rd,<br />
Taylors Mistake Rd, Whitewash<br />
Head Rd, Smugglers Cove,<br />
Peninsula View, Langdale Pl,<br />
Flowers Track, Godley Drive and<br />
part of Heberden Ave.<br />
‘‘As a council we are committed<br />
to improving the safety of our<br />
streets for all road users, whether<br />
they choose to travel on foot, by<br />
bicycle, in private motor vehicles<br />
or on public transport,” city council<br />
transport operations manager<br />
Stephen Wright said.<br />
“The feedback we received<br />
during consultation showed good<br />
support for these changes.”<br />
The Scarborough changes were<br />
recommended to the city council<br />
by the Waikura Linwood-Central-<br />
Heathcote Community Board<br />
following consultation last year.<br />

IT IS hard to keep a good man<br />
down – in this case Robin<br />
Judkins.<br />
Judkins is best known for<br />
the Coast to Coast, but he<br />
is also a pretty damn good<br />
writer.<br />
On page 1 today we look at<br />
his latest project Free Bus To<br />
God, a musical which has its<br />
premiere, a “world” premiere<br />
that is, says Judkins, at the<br />
James Hay Theatre on Saturday.<br />
He is also planning to take<br />
the musical to the Edinburgh<br />
Fringe festival next year. If<br />
Judkins is planning to do it,<br />
you can probably take it as<br />
read it will happen.<br />
Free Bus To God is a<br />
distillation of 122 pieces that<br />
combines 20 songs, rants and<br />
raves into an hour of madness,<br />
Judkins said.<br />

Dog park dropped from reserve plan<br />
• By Mick Jensen<br />
THE WAIKURA Linwood-<br />
Central-Heathcote Community<br />
Board has approved a landscape<br />
plan for Birdsey Reserve in<br />
Heathcote, but it does not<br />
include a dog park.<br />
Some 61 out of 62 submitters<br />
to the draft plan were in favour<br />
of the revegetation and food<br />
forest planting work outlined<br />
in stage 1, but there was a 50/50<br />
split in terms of the development<br />
of a dog park earmarked for the<br />
site in stage 2.<br />
A number of changes were<br />
made to the draft following<br />
community consultation, with<br />
the proposed dog park area<br />
halved to <strong>25</strong>12 m2.<br />
City councillor<br />
Yani Johanson<br />
said there was a<br />
strong need for a<br />
dog park in the<br />
area, but he had<br />
concerns about<br />
Yani<br />
Johanson<br />
safety and traffic<br />
if it was located at<br />
the reserve.<br />
Johanson had<br />
been moved by submitters on<br />
both sides and said it was a difficult<br />
issue for staff to deal with<br />
because of the split feelings for<br />
the dog park.<br />
He said the community board<br />
needed to prioritise finding an<br />
REMOVED: The proposed dog park for Birdsey Reserve has been cut from the final<br />
landscape management plan.<br />

alternative dog park site, because<br />
there was demand for one in the<br />
south east.<br />
At the community board<br />
meeting last week Heathcote<br />
Valley food forest group<br />
representative Amelia Knight<br />
asked city councillors to “invest<br />
in conservation’’ at Birdsey<br />
Reserve, but explore alternative<br />
locations for the dog park.<br />
A dog park would bring in<br />
more people, increase traffic on<br />
an already busy road and create<br />
parking issues and safety concerns,<br />
she said.<br />
“We have children learning<br />
in this area, the community<br />
takes ownership of the reserve<br />
and there is room to grow at the<br />
moment – we don’t want that to<br />
change.’’<br />
She suggested using red zone<br />
land for a dog park.<br />
Another speaker, John Marsh,<br />
who was involved in writing the<br />
original landscape management<br />
plan for Birdsey Reserve 20<br />
years ago, said previous city<br />
councillors had voted to support<br />
biodiversity, which had been a<br />
good decision then and was still<br />
a good decision now.<br />
The reserve had grown from<br />
a paddock on a slope into a lowland<br />
dry bush habitat that was<br />
doing well and was supported by<br />
community groups, like the food<br />
forest group.<br />

Birdsey Reserve have a<br />
dog park? Email barry@<br />

Keep responses to 200<br />
words or less<br />
Marsh said he believed the city<br />
council had not tried hard<br />
enough to find alternate dog<br />
park sites and thought there<br />
were spaces and areas where<br />
dogs could run free without<br />
intruding on either people or<br />
biodiversity.<br />
There is recognised demand<br />
for a dog park in the bays<br />
area and city council staff had<br />
identified Birdsey Reserve as the<br />
most suitable site.<br />

Judkins’ show has<br />
‘world premiere’<br />
• From page 1<br />
The 73-year-old is working<br />
in collaboration with theatrical<br />
director Hester Ullyart and his<br />
musical co-stars are Janice Gray,<br />
Shay Horay, Tom Trevella and<br />
Emily Fairlight. The show’s musical<br />
director is Adam Hattaway,<br />
and his band is made up of Mike<br />
Kime, Thomas Isbister and Reuben<br />
Derrick.<br />
Free Bus To God was a distillation<br />
of 122 pieces that combined<br />
20 songs, rants and raves into an<br />
hour of madness, Judkins said.<br />
There was humour in his show<br />
and also sad bits, which featured<br />
in some of the four love songs<br />
chosen.<br />
‘‘There are some hard characters<br />
featured, but you can feel<br />
comfortable with them.’’<br />
Last week Judkins was busy<br />
assembling a number of stage<br />
pieces for the premiere, including<br />
10 bus seats, a hand brake, a<br />
steering wheel and a bus stop<br />
sign he’s recommissioned and<br />
worked on.<br />
He has road-tested the show by<br />
breaking it down into six parts to<br />
perform at open mic sessions.<br />
It flows well and features a broad<br />
range of music chosen by Adam<br />
Hattaway, he said.<br />
Judkins intended filming the<br />
show and has ambitions to put<br />

The Improbable Life of Ricky Bird<br />
by Diane Connell<br />
If you were charmed by The Curious Incident, laughed with Eleanor<br />
Oliphant and cried over A Man Called Ove, you will love Ricky Bird.<br />
No one loved making forts more than Ricky. A fort was a place of<br />
safety and possibility. It shut out the world and enclosed her and<br />
Ollie within any story she wanted to tell ... Ricky Bird loves making<br />
up stories for her brother Ollie almost as much as she loves him.<br />
The imaginary worlds she creates are wild and whimsical places full of<br />
unlimited possibilities. Real life is another story. Ricky’s father has abandoned<br />
them and the family has moved to a bleak new neighbourhood. Worse still, her<br />
mother’s new boyfriend, Dan, has come with the furniture. But Ricky Bird is a force to be<br />
reckoned with. As the mastermind of so many outlandish adventures, her imagination<br />
is her best weapon. As her father used to say, if you can spin a good yarn you can get<br />
on in life. The trouble is that in the best stories characters sometimes take on a life of<br />
their own and no one, not even Ricky, is able to imagine the consequences.<br />
Beautifully written, heartbreakingly funny and deeply moving, this book has already<br />
been compared to The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, Lost and Found,<br />
Shuggie Bain, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine and A Monster Calls. But Ricky’s<br />
story is all her own – and it will stay with you long after the last page.<br />
Basics to Brilliance Kids<br />
New Edition by Donna Hay<br />
it on at the 2023 Edinburgh<br />
Fringe Festival.<br />
‘‘I’ve got to make sure we’ve got<br />
a winner first, but it’s an exciting<br />
proposition and taking everyone<br />
over to Scotland, including my<br />
daughter, would be a blast.’’<br />
Judkins said there was a<br />
Commonwealth section planned<br />
at next year’s fringe, which made<br />
the trip even more appealing.<br />
A full documentary of his<br />
journey with the Free Bus To God<br />
project is also planned.<br />
Judkins has been a Sumner<br />
resident for the last 36 years and<br />
has previously published two<br />
books of his poetry, a novel and a<br />
memoir.<br />
He is 56 pages into his current<br />
book, a thriller called The<br />
Butcher, The Sniper And The<br />
Journalist.<br />

Mural aimed at creating a<br />
sense of community pride<br />
• By Emily Moorhouse<br />
AN ARTIST, a project manager<br />
and a natural paint company<br />
have teamed up to see a 32.4m<br />
mural installed in Radley Park.<br />
The mural has been in the<br />
works for more than a year now<br />
and will sit along the fence line<br />
at Woolston’s Roimata Food<br />
Commons.<br />
Roimata Food Commons<br />
co-founder Michael Reynolds<br />
said the idea behind the mural<br />
is to help people feel welcome<br />
and a sense of pride within the<br />
community after seeing the<br />
positive reaction from the street<br />
art post-earthquakes.<br />
“Being a reasonably creative<br />
person myself it felt like adding<br />
some artwork was a logical next<br />
step,” Reynolds said.<br />
Freelance artist Sandrine Castel<br />
designed the mural to align<br />
with the natural aspects of the<br />
gardens at Radley Park.<br />
“I was a preacher for Roimata<br />
for many years, I was following<br />
them, so when Michael<br />
approached me it was obvious<br />
that I wanted my artwork to be<br />
associated with those kinds of<br />
projects,” Castel said.<br />
“When you’re an artist and<br />
someone asks you to create<br />
something for them it’s obviously<br />
what you’re aiming for,” Castel<br />
said.<br />
“Also as a graphic designer<br />
I only work with conscious<br />
businesses, I guess Roimata was<br />
perfectly aligned with my values<br />
as well.”<br />
Reynolds reached out to<br />
Natural Paint Co about a year<br />
ago and painting the green<br />
coats started about six months<br />
ago with the help of staff from<br />
design school Yoobee.<br />
Two weeks ago, Castel started<br />
tracing and painting the design,<br />
which was expected to be<br />
finished in a week, but now she<br />
thinks it will take at least another<br />
two weeks.<br />
“It’s taking much longer than<br />
we anticipated,” Castel said.<br />
“It’s a very time-consuming<br />

project which is still alright, I’m<br />
kind of in my happy space when<br />
I’m painting.”<br />
Because the process is taking<br />
longer than expected Reynolds<br />
is trying to source funding to<br />
pay Castel for her time.<br />
Reynolds expects the mural<br />
to be erected in spring, as the<br />
colder damp weather in winter<br />
would make it difficult to do the<br />
touch-ups once its installed.<br />

Site found<br />
for Sumner<br />
flagpole<br />
• By Mick Jensen<br />
A RECENT site visit has<br />
confirmed the balcony of the<br />
Sumner Centre as the preferred<br />
option for a reinstated flagpole.<br />
Darrell Latham, who sits on<br />
the Linwood Central Heathcote<br />
Community Board, said the visit<br />
with council staff and members<br />
of the Sumner Redcliffs Historical<br />
Society had looked at three<br />
options.<br />
A flagpole situated on the balcony<br />
and running up the wall would<br />
enable the flag to fly 2m above the<br />
building and had been seen as by<br />
far the best option. A flag diagonally<br />
sitting out from the front of balcony<br />
had been dismissed because the<br />
prevailing easterly wind would<br />
make it “look more like a Kentucky<br />
Fried Chicken outlet rather a place<br />
celebrating community spirit’’.<br />
A third option of putting the<br />
flagpole on the pavement had been<br />
ruled out because of vandalism<br />
concerns.<br />
Latham said the balcony option<br />
was the preference of both the<br />
Sumner Redcliffs Historical<br />
Society and Sumner RSA.<br />
Sumner residents have been<br />
asking for the flagpole since the<br />
February 22, 2011, earthquake<br />
and a report will be sent to the city<br />
council for consideration.<br />

“We cannot predict<br />

can protect it”<br />
Protect your future<br />
with a compliant<br />
TRUST<br />
The best time to establish a trust is when you do not<br />
need it.<br />
Our purpose is to advise individuals on asset<br />
preservation and protection through a client focused<br />
approach tailored to their needs.<br />
We are driven by integrity and building strong and lasting<br />
relationships with our clients. Our Trustee Services<br />
are provided by a dedicated team who understand<br />
the complexities and detail of New Zealand Trust Law,<br />
especially in light of the recent legislative changes.<br />
Trusts require meticulous management to ensure they<br />
are and will continue to be, legally compliant.<br />
We have vast experience in reviewing non-compliant<br />
trusts and swiftly making the necessary changes<br />
to ensure they are legally compliant. If a trust is not<br />
compliant it cannot protect your assets.<br />
How we protect your future<br />
Trust Establishment<br />
We take the time to thoroughly understand<br />
our clients situation and their unique goals for<br />
the future. If a Trust is appropriate, we assist<br />
in deciding the most suitable type. The various<br />
types we consider include Family, Single, Parallel,<br />
Business, Investment or Inheritance depending<br />
on their specific personal needs or objectives.<br />
Trust Management<br />
Trusts require meticulous management to<br />
ensure they are and continue to be legally<br />
compliant. This is particularly important with the<br />
recent changes to legislation in Trust Law with<br />
the introduction of the Trusts Act 2019.<br />
We are passionate about and have a new level<br />
of precision to our trust record keeping so as to<br />
comply with these new requirements from the<br />
get go.<br />
Review Existing Trusts<br />
With New Zealand having the greatest numbers<br />
of trusts per capita, it is concerning knowing<br />
that a large number of them (which have not had<br />
a review in light of the new Trust Act 2019) are<br />
likely to be successfully challenged. This means<br />
that without the review they are likely to not<br />
fulfil their purpose of protecting individuals hard<br />
earned assets.<br />
Business risk, relationship property claims, and<br />
legal action are all possible ways a<br />
trust can be challenged. We are<br />
experts in reviewing existing trusts.<br />
We swiftly implement any<br />
necessary changes and ensure<br />
they will offer full protection from<br />
any potential challenge.<br />
We are passionate about<br />
helping people and ensuring<br />
their futures are protected.<br />

Kiwi fantasy card game takes world by storm<br />
Christchurch trading<br />
card businesses have<br />
seen an upsurge as a<br />
popular Kiwi-developed<br />
fantasy card game<br />
continues to attract<br />
thousands of new<br />
players around the<br />
world, both to progaming<br />
and to lucrative<br />
online card trading.<br />
John Cosgrove reports<br />
IN HIS right hand, card trader<br />
Sam Smith holds a Flesh and<br />
Blood ‘Heart of Fyendal’ card<br />
worth approximately $300; in his<br />
left hand is another worth over<br />
$30,000.<br />
The difference is when the<br />
cards were made, what they’re<br />
made of or printed on, and<br />
how rare or desirable they are<br />
among a growing number<br />
of enthusiastic gamers and<br />
professional trading card<br />
collectors.<br />
“It’s always a lottery when you<br />
buy a packet of cards from the<br />
shop,” Smith said from his recently<br />
opened FAB Armory shop<br />
in Sydenham.<br />
“Last Friday a dad brought<br />
in his two young boys to buy a<br />
packet each so that they could<br />
learn the game, and in one of<br />
the packs was an unlimited<br />
run, rainbow foiled ‘Heart of<br />
Fyendal’. I immediately offered<br />
to swap him 30 packets of cards<br />
for it, so he was real pleased his<br />
son now has heaps of cards to<br />
play with.”<br />
On the other hand, if you<br />
wanted a cold foiled, alpha print,<br />
first edition ‘Heart of Fyendal’,<br />
like one of the two Smith recently<br />
sold for $35,000 each, then he<br />
said he will talk terms.<br />
Trading cards have been<br />
around for generations, with US<br />
baseball cards being the first,<br />
packaged with cigarettes and<br />
sweets to stiffen the packaging in<br />
the 1860s.<br />
As colour printing technologies<br />
developed, the popularity<br />
of the cards grew and so too did<br />
the value of trading, reaching<br />

for an elusive-but-pristine ‘52<br />
Mickey Mantle or LeBron James<br />
rookie year card – currently<br />
worth over $8.3 million<br />
each.<br />
In the 1990s, the advent of the<br />
trading card game Magic – a<br />
game involving a combination<br />
of luck and skill, with two or<br />
more players battling it out<br />
as powerful wizards, using<br />
collections of cards (spells) in<br />
their decks – started to make a<br />
toe-hold in the gaming industry.<br />
Then along came Pokémon<br />
cards, KeyForge, Yu-Gi-Oh!,<br />
Game of Thrones, Sorcerer and<br />
the latest world hit – Flesh and<br />
Blood, a Kiwi-developed card<br />
game popular with all ages.<br />
Fast forward to the pandemic<br />
and thousands of bored people<br />
sitting around home and its<br />
popularity only increased, with<br />
many playing online or looking<br />
to capitalise on their collections<br />
by trading their cards.<br />
“The game and the trading of<br />
cards is booming,” said Smith.<br />
“Last weekend there were 1100<br />
professional players gathered<br />
in New York, competing for<br />
USD$100,000 in prize money,<br />
with over 15,000 others watching<br />
online.<br />
“The game’s lead developer,<br />
Chris Gehring from Legend<br />
Story Studios in Auckland,<br />
travelled to the tournament and<br />
it was great to see him speaking<br />
there.”<br />
Smith said the fundamental<br />
thing about the game is it’s very<br />
social, and it just helps people<br />
gain confidence and learn skills.<br />
“Everyone can be as confident<br />
as they want behind a computer<br />
screen, but you develop a lot<br />
more confidence interacting<br />
with people on a physical and<br />
social level.<br />
“Basically, people are using the<br />
card games to teach their kids<br />
maths and stuff like that because<br />
of the different attack and block<br />
values.”<br />
He believes it’s the modern<br />
generation’s variation of society<br />
card games like Poker, Euchre,<br />
Bridge, Go Fish and others.<br />
“You’ve got to make decisions<br />
on the fly or just work out if<br />
you’re basically going to have the<br />
right resources to keep yourself<br />
alive.”<br />
Smith has been playing games<br />
since he was young and after<br />
learning the trading business<br />
in Auckland, he returned to<br />
Christchurch to train as a<br />
plumber while still trading cards<br />
online from his bedroom in<br />
Wigram.<br />
But a broken hand meant he<br />
looked to his rapidly expanding<br />
online sales for income and soon<br />
FAB Armory grew into the retail<br />
store it is today.<br />
“There are often 10-20 players<br />
coming here twice a week to play<br />
in the shop in Sydenham and<br />
we are still working hard online<br />
to cater to the huge demand for<br />
single cards.”<br />
He said people of all ages,<br />
lifestyles and incomes want<br />
specific cards to make up a set or<br />
collection – and are prepared to<br />
pay for them.<br />
“I sold a F&B Fyendal’s ‘Spring<br />
Tunic’ to a famous client recently<br />
for $35,000.<br />
“It’s all about looking at the<br />
market, understanding the<br />
attraction of first editions cards,<br />
finding them and gauging the<br />
market to get the best price for<br />
them,” he said.<br />

ARA INSTITUTE OF CANTERBURY<br />
Open Day a chance to<br />
explore new directions<br />
For anyone contemplating<br />
their future in the workforce,<br />
Ara Institute of Canterbury’s<br />
Open Day is a great<br />
opportunity to find inspiration<br />
and start making plans.<br />
With more than 150 fulltime,<br />
part-time and distance<br />
study options on offer at Ara,<br />
there’s potentially something<br />
to suit everyone, from school<br />
leavers and career changers<br />
through to individuals seeking<br />
to return to the workforce or those wanting<br />
to gain more skills in their current line of<br />
work. Options range from non-assessed<br />
short courses through to postgraduate<br />
diplomas and Master’s qualifications.<br />
The event takes place on Thursday 9 June<br />
from 3pm to 6pm at four Ara campuses:<br />
City, Woolston, Manawa and Timaru.<br />
The City and Timaru campuses will offer<br />
information on all study options, while<br />
Woolston will be the focus of trades<br />
training and Manawa is the place to go to<br />
see where Ara’s health-related degrees and<br />
diplomas are taught.<br />
Tutors and representatives from all<br />
subject areas will be on hand to provide<br />
information and answer questions about<br />
study options. There will also be several<br />
information sessions held throughout the<br />
afternoon regarding specific study options<br />
and enrolments can be made on the day.<br />
Student Support staff will also be<br />
available to talk about scholarships and<br />
other financial assistance, learning support,<br />
targeted support for Māori and Pacific<br />
students and students with disabilities,<br />
accommodation, childcare, student clubs<br />
and more.<br />
Campus tours are always a popular<br />
feature of Ara’s open days. The tours explore<br />
classrooms, workshops and learning<br />
facilities as well as student amenities like<br />
libraries, study spaces, cafes and gyms. At<br />
the City campus you can also join a tour<br />
of Otautahi House to see the modern,<br />
apartment-style student accommodation<br />
located just across the street from the<br />
campus.<br />
Study can be a big commitment – not just<br />
for students but also for the whole whānau,<br />
so potential students are invited to bring<br />
parents, partners and friends along so they<br />
can understand what’s involved and know<br />
what support services are available.<br />
Ara’s Open Day takes place on Thursday<br />
9 June at the City, Woolston, Manawa and<br />
Timaru campuses from 3pm to 6pm. A<br />
free shuttle will operate between the City<br />
and Manawa campuses. Further details<br />
are available at ara.ac.nz.<br />

NEWS<br />
Treasures from the past:<br />
Lyttelton’s colonial<br />
architecture<br />
One of the original v-huts used by the first settlers in Lyttelton around<br />
1849-1850. 1912 Te Ūaka The Lyttelton Museum ref 146<strong>25</strong>.34<br />
https://www.teuaka.org.nz/online-collection/1135468<br />
THE EARLIEST shelters built by<br />
European settlers arriving in Ōhinehou<br />
Lyttelton in the 1850s were unique to<br />
Canterbury’s settlement – they were<br />
simple wooden structures shaped like an<br />
inverted v, hence the colloquial name of<br />
v-huts.<br />
They were built in the wave of migration<br />
following the arrival of the first four ships<br />
and were constructed on the often-marshy<br />
ground in Christchurch, as well as in the<br />
fledgling port settlement.<br />
Architecturally, v-huts were very modest<br />
– a steeply gabled roof, either timber clad<br />
and/or thatched, with a door and window<br />
at one end. That they were chimney-less<br />
would suggest cooking was done outside.<br />
Though they might be bitterly cold in<br />
winter months, they were doubtless a step<br />
up from a canvas tent.<br />
Settlers with limited means might even<br />
have camped in the uncleared bushy<br />
gullies for a time in “a very flimsy hut<br />
made largely of fern” (Scotter W H, 1968,<br />
A History of Port Lyttelton, Whitcombe<br />
and Tombs, Christchurch). The more wellto-do<br />
made their v-huts as cosy as possible<br />
with furniture and domestic items brought<br />
with them from England (right).<br />
As seen in the 1912 photograph there<br />
was still an original v-hut on Winchester<br />
St in that year, situated on land now taken<br />
up by the recreation centre. The hut was<br />
demolished in 1913. It’s an unusual example<br />
– given there is no door visible in the<br />
image, it appears to have had a window at<br />
both ends. In startling architectural contrast,<br />
the tiny hut is backdropped by the<br />
impressive bulk of the Freemason Lodge<br />
Kilwinning.<br />
The original one-storey brick lodge<br />
building on this site was consecrated in<br />
1881. However, following a large fire in<br />
1903, a second timber storey was added,<br />
along with the impressive Italianate frontage<br />
of the building (a style often associated<br />
with the Masonic movement). The classical<br />
face of the building belies its simplicity –<br />
the three other sides of the building were<br />
clad in plain corrugated iron.<br />
Used by the Freemasons for 60 years,<br />
from 2000-2011 the building was home<br />
and studio to the much-respected artist<br />
Bill Hammond. It’s currently undergoing<br />
a major post-earthquake restoration by the<br />
company Structex, who will use the upper<br />
floor as their offices with the lower being<br />
available as retail or hospitality space.<br />
(https://heritageequip.govt.nz/case-studies/kilwinning-lodge-lyttelton)<br />
But back to the simplicity of the earliest<br />
European architecture in Ōhinehou<br />
Lyttelton: There is a contemporary built<br />
example of a v-hut at Ferrymead Heritage<br />
Park. It can be visited as part of educational<br />
tours for school children – a chance<br />
to get a small taste of what life may have<br />
been like in the most modest of colonial<br />
housing.<br />

mitre 10 mega ferrymead<br />
lend a helping hand<br />
thanks to a joint venture between Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead, Southbuild Ltd and Spinal unit volunteers, a<br />
previously scruffy outdoor area at the Burwood Spinal unit has been transformed into a fresh and welcoming space.<br />
It all started when a former Spinal Unit patient and her<br />
whanau approached Southbuild to ask if they could<br />
repair an outdoor table. Leanne and Paul from Southbuild<br />
visited the site and realised that a lot more could be done<br />
to spruce up the area. Having participated in a previous<br />
Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead’s Helping Hands Project, they<br />
approached the store to see if they would assist. Miles from<br />
Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead willingly agreed.<br />
On <strong>May</strong> 4 <strong>2022</strong>, Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead staff, the<br />
Southbuild Ltd team and the volunteers got to work. This<br />
involved weeding/water blasting the patio, constructing<br />
and painting four raised planter boxes, repairing and<br />
painting picnic tables, installation of a shade sail and posts<br />
and a general tidy-up and removal of rubble.<br />
Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead supplied labour and all the<br />
materials, Southbuild donated labour, and Canterbury<br />
Trellis supplied two new picnic tables. The Spinal Unit<br />
provided a huge spread of food and a coffee cart, which<br />
BEFOrE<br />
AFtEr<br />
was welcomed by all.<br />
“Having the space tidy and looking presentable has<br />
made quite a difference for people staying in the unit,”<br />
the Burwood Spinal Unit’s peer support co-ordinator<br />
Brett Ladbrook says. “It has come up great. Staff are<br />
sitting out there for lunch and the patients are using it a<br />
lot more as well.”<br />
Brett also says the area was “quite a suntrap” so the shade sail<br />
has made the area more comfortable to sit in. And as Cam<br />
from Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead, says, “We turned a rundown<br />
smokers’ area into a multi-use space for all patients and<br />
families of the Spinal Unit to enjoy. Hugely rewarding!”<br />

Four Grenadier Seasons Realty<br />
Dynamic Duo Raises The Bar<br />
Local real estate agents Shaun<br />
Davey and Callum Brownlee<br />
have become a dynamic duo over<br />
the past 9 months. Shaun with<br />
6 years of real estate experience<br />
and Callum recently joining the<br />
industry after a successful career<br />
in hospitality.<br />
After only 9 months they have<br />
taken out the top spot for 2021 in<br />
the Harcourts Sumner office, and<br />
Number 14 in their company.<br />
With their addictive sense of<br />
humour and sharp wit, Shaun<br />
and Callum are known by their<br />
clients as being down to earth<br />
and personable while still being<br />
passionate about their work.<br />
When asked about their sudden<br />
growth, the two have put it down<br />
to their client focused approach,<br />
both are very proud that a large<br />
chunk of their business comes from<br />
repeat clients and referrals. They believe<br />
in creating a stress free experience when<br />
selling, while keeping the process fun and<br />
enjoyable.<br />
“Selling your home is one of the<br />
most stressful things you can do, and<br />
understandably, it’s the sale of most<br />
peoples biggest asset. Our goal is to make<br />
it an enjoyable process while still achieving<br />
the best results for our clients.”<br />
Shaun and Callum are both big auction<br />
advocates and believe the auction process<br />
to be one of their biggest advantages over<br />
the competition. Harcourts Grenadier<br />
provide state of the art, custom built<br />
auction rooms alongside award winning<br />
auctioneers. Because of this, we have<br />
strong clearance rates and achieve<br />
phenomenal results for our clients.<br />
“We are a full service business, while we<br />
work alongside owners and their homes,<br />
we also work with buyers looking to get<br />
into the area. Prue Dacombe, with over 10<br />
years in the industry specialises in working<br />
with buyers. The beauty of having three of<br />
us is that we have the time and availability<br />
to work with buyers and help them<br />
through the often challenging process<br />
of buying a home”. It is not uncommon<br />
for Shaun and Callum to already have a<br />
buyer lined up when they list a home, their<br />
database is growing by the day<br />
and they are frequently getting<br />
requests for local homes.<br />
While working hard, these two<br />
also have a huge passion for their<br />
community. Recently becoming<br />
sponsors of the Sumner rugby<br />
club, often taking part in local<br />
fundraisers and more recently<br />
purchasing and sign-writing a<br />
trailer that the community can<br />
hire free of charge.<br />
After a successful start, this<br />
team is planning to take things<br />
up a notch in <strong>2022</strong>. With plenty<br />
of listings on the go, and more to<br />
come, the upcoming 12 months<br />
are looking bright. When asked<br />
about the shifts in the market<br />
Shaun and Callum were quick to<br />
note that Christchurch has not<br />
seen a drop in prices unlike other<br />
parts of the country. “We are still seeing<br />
plenty of buyers through our open homes,<br />
and receive a lot of enquiry from out of<br />
town and overseas. Things are taking a<br />
bit longer nowadays, but prices are still<br />
remaining strong”.<br />

Exciting coupe from BMW stable<br />
THE ONLY CARS my son has ever<br />
owned have been two door coupes<br />
– Nissan 200SX, Mazda RX7,<br />
Toyota Celica and Supra.<br />
He talks about all of them a<br />
lot but the car he has the most<br />
affection for is the Supra, that twinturbocharged<br />
six-cylinder model<br />
was ferocious, yet its ability came<br />
subdued, it was a silent beast.<br />
Of course, Supra was<br />
discontinued for many years, but<br />
when Toyota introduced its new<br />
model a year or so ago, my son was<br />
excited, and when it came time for<br />
me to evaluate it I had to take him<br />
for a long drive in that beautiful,<br />
sleek and dynamic sports car.<br />
One of the things that makes<br />
today’s Supra so exciting is its<br />
powerplant, the 3-litre unit shares<br />
the same concept as the original –<br />
turbocharging and six-cylinders.<br />
However, it’s not Toyota’s engine, it<br />
comes out of the BMW factories, as<br />
does much of the new Supra, it has<br />
been built in a collaborative way<br />
between the two companies. It’s a<br />
concept that works well, Toyota did<br />
it with Subaru with the 86, and the<br />
Supra project has resulted in a very<br />
desirable sport coupe.<br />
Of course, the BMW engine is<br />
also used in a lot of other BMW<br />
product including the 440i Gran<br />
Coupe which this evaluation<br />
focuses on.<br />
Not only does the 440i stand out<br />
for its driveline, it has an aggressive<br />
shape that can only be described<br />
as outright desirable. The 3-Series<br />
is my favourite BMW car line, the<br />
440i is effectively a 3-Series coupe,<br />
even though its nomenclature<br />
would suggest otherwise.<br />
Electric models aside, the<br />
4-Series is available as a coupe/<br />
liftback or convertible, the 440i<br />
four-door is priced at $129,900<br />
depending on specification, a<br />
420i four-cylinder variant lists at<br />
$81,900.<br />
The 440i, though, is a real honey,<br />
the smooth six-cylinder surge is<br />
something rather special. BMW<br />
rates the double overhead camshaft<br />
unit at 275kW with a stunning<br />
500Nm of torque landing all the<br />
way from 1850rpm. The result<br />
is a strong flow of power from<br />
idle through to redline, and that<br />
is something we have come to<br />
expect from BMW, the company<br />
has a reputation for building<br />
performance cars and the 440i<br />
is no exception. It will launch to<br />
100km/h from a standstill in 4.7sec<br />
and I would strongly suspect it<br />
would be limited to a <strong>25</strong>0km/h top<br />
speed.<br />
Drive is transmitted through a<br />
silky smooth eight-speed automatic<br />
gearbox and into BMW’s xDrive<br />
system, the latter, put simply,<br />
is a four-wheel-drive network,<br />
although it must be said that drive<br />
is well proportioned towards the<br />
rear.<br />
Drive is forceful, the engine<br />
reacts solidly to throttle request<br />
ELEGANT: The BMW 440i has a four-door body in a<br />
coupe-type style..<br />
BMW 440i: Choice of coupe or convertible with four or six-cylinder power.<br />
providing instant acceleration and<br />
a flow of power, and sound, which<br />
is tantalising.<br />
That feel is transmitted<br />
throughout the entire car, not only<br />
is it exciting in terms of power<br />
flow, the 440i handles like a coupe<br />
should. It has impeccable manners<br />
with high grip levels and a feel at<br />
the steering wheel that is natural,<br />
yet involving.<br />
The 440i sits on high<br />
performance, 20in Good Year<br />
rubber, the tyres are wider at the<br />
rear than they are at the front<br />
(245/35 and <strong>25</strong>5/35). There is little<br />
likelihood of the traction loss at<br />
any point in a corner. BMW has<br />
engineered the best electronic<br />
traction and stability control<br />
devices into the 440i and they<br />
instantly counteract any wayward<br />
behaviour, but such are the high<br />
grip levels it is never much of a<br />
likelihood.<br />
I took the test car west on my<br />
favourite inland road, a mixture<br />
of tight and flowing corners, with<br />
good distance between corners the<br />
driver is offered a host of varying<br />
conditions.<br />
The 440i was in its element<br />
on the high country run, it is a<br />
genuine touring car and one that<br />
delights with its ability. It can be<br />
forced into corners quickly, but<br />
taking a smooth approach is by<br />
far the best, it rewards with its<br />
balance and directional stability,<br />
it is quick to react to directional<br />
changes.<br />
• Price – BMW 440i,<br />
$129,900<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4783mm; width, 1852mm;<br />
height, 1442mm<br />
• Configuration – Sixcylinder,<br />
four-wheel-drive,<br />
2998cc, 275kW, 500Nm,<br />
eight-speed automatic<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 4.7sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 8.2/100km<br />
With the forceful flow of power<br />
out of a corner, speed is ushered in<br />
quickly, thanks to the turbo boost<br />
and associated torque flow.<br />
Not only does the 440i reward<br />
the driver with its high-speed<br />
capability, it is also the everyday car<br />
which does its best to look after the<br />
occupants.<br />
The cabin is plush and the seats<br />
are formed brilliantly to contain<br />
the body. Seat adjustment is vast,<br />
there are several applications to<br />
suit the driver and most are done<br />
electrically. There are also heated<br />
seats for when winter bites.<br />
Other features include head-up<br />
display, satellite navigation, electric<br />
sunroof, paddle-shifters, automatic<br />
stop-start, Harman Kardon audio<br />
and comprehensive infotainment<br />
network.<br />
As part of the on-screen displays,<br />
the 440i has vast trip computer<br />
and fuel usage readouts, bearing in<br />
mind there is an economical drive<br />
mode if the driver wishes to select<br />
them through a console-mounted<br />
switching system. Sport modes<br />
can also be ushered through the<br />
same system, the latter not only<br />
initiates a wonderful exhaust howl<br />
and bark, but suspension firming is<br />
done automatically.<br />
Against BMW’s 8.2-litre per<br />
100km combined cycle claim sat<br />
a real-time 9l/100km figure and a<br />
6.4l/100km instantaneous figure<br />
travelling at 100km/h on the<br />
highway with the engine turning<br />
over relaxed at just 1400rpm.<br />
How BMW make this engine<br />
so relaxed yet so forceful is a<br />
constant source of amazement,<br />
the 440i is a car for those who<br />
want everyday relaxation in their<br />
travel, yet know that there is power<br />
in abundance for the highway<br />
overtake and for speed when<br />
conditions allow.<br />
As much as the 440i Gran Coupe<br />
excites through the driveline, and<br />
would certainly tempt my son<br />
and me if finances were available,<br />
BMW is also fully aware the world<br />
is viewing petrol-powered cars with<br />
much uncertainty.<br />
That being the case, fully<br />
electric vehicles from the German<br />
factories are trickling through<br />
down under, the iX is scheduled<br />
into my diary soon. I’m looking<br />
forward to that experience, from<br />
what I’ve read, that dynamic sport<br />
utility vehicle is something quite<br />
extraordinary.<br />
