<strong>10</strong>0-year-old theatre group<br />
‘hanging on by a thread’<br />
• By Emily Moorhouse<br />
A SUMNER theatre company is<br />
“hanging on by a thread” after<br />
Covid has caused audience<br />
and volunteer numbers to<br />
dwindle.<br />
The Makutu Community<br />
Theatre (formerly Sumner<br />
Theatre Group) has been<br />
described as “dying a slow death”<br />
as it struggles to cover costs and<br />
bring in new volunteers.<br />
Theatre president Sarah<br />
Mankelow said before the<br />
February 22, 2011 earthquake,<br />
the group had 150 volunteers and<br />
it was difficult to fit everyone on<br />
stage.<br />
Now, with about 20 volunteers<br />
including cast, backstage workers<br />
and bar staff, the group is<br />
struggling to operate.<br />
“There’s so much work that<br />
goes into it, if there’s not enough<br />
people to spread the load then it<br />
becomes a chore and that’s when<br />
the fun goes out of it for those of<br />
us that are left,” she said.<br />
The group has been running for<br />
more than <strong>10</strong>0 years, performing<br />
cabaret-style shows that see the<br />
audience seated at tables rather<br />
than in rows.<br />
The group’s longest standing<br />
member Colin Evans remembers<br />
his first performance when he<br />
was 14 in 1986. He later joined the<br />
group when he was 25, becoming<br />
stage manager for three years.<br />
The now 50-year-old took a<br />
break in 2018, but has come back<br />
this year after seeing the group<br />
struggle to pull in audience and<br />
volunteer numbers.<br />
“I never really thought it was<br />
my thing as a kid, then I realised<br />
how much fun it is,” he said.<br />
Evans’ mother Lin and sister<br />
Karen Doak were also performers<br />
for the group, while his father<br />
Dave had been stage manager in<br />
the 1990s.<br />
“It’s been a pretty big part of my<br />
life, so I don’t want to see it die,”<br />
Evans said.<br />
There’s usually <strong>10</strong> shows each<br />
season, reduced to eight following<br />
the earthquake.<br />
However, this year there<br />
are only four, this Friday and<br />
Saturday night (<strong>August</strong> 12 and<br />
13) and next Friday and Saturday<br />
(19 and 20).<br />
Mankelow said the group is<br />
also struggling to cover costs for<br />
renting the city council owned<br />
building Matuku Takotako:<br />

COVID HAS wreaked havoc<br />
across society and now the<br />
Makutu Community Theatre<br />
is feeling its savage effects<br />
(see page 1).<br />
The group says it is “dying<br />
a slow death” as it struggles<br />
to cover costs and bring in<br />
new volunteers.<br />
It once had 150 volunteers<br />
and full houses for<br />
productions, but there are<br />
now only about 20 people to<br />
cover cast, backstage workers<br />
and bar staff. Financing<br />
productions is also becoming<br />
a problem.<br />
“There’s so much work<br />
that goes into it, if there’s not<br />
enough people to spread the<br />
load then it becomes a chore<br />
and that’s when the fun goes<br />
out of it for those of us that<br />
are left,” says theatre president<br />
Sarah Mankelow.<br />
There is a cabaret coming<br />
up. Support it if you can.<br />

No bus to Governors <strong>Bay</strong> questioned<br />
• By Tina Grumball<br />
GOVERNORS BAY residents<br />
are questioning why they weren’t<br />
involved in a recent extension of<br />
a bus route around the bays.<br />
Environment Canterbury and<br />
Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks<br />
Peninsula Community Board<br />
members Reuben Davidson and<br />
Tyrone Fields trumpeted the<br />
service to Rapaki <strong>Bay</strong> in <strong>Bay</strong><br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> News when it was reintroduced<br />
two weeks ago.<br />
But the community 4km<br />
further along have said they have<br />
not heard anything about when<br />
they might have a service of their<br />
own again.<br />
When bus route 28 was under<br />
review earlier this year, residents<br />
of Governors <strong>Bay</strong> sent 49 submissions<br />
to ECan, Governors<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> Community Transport Trust<br />
former chairwoman Jennifer<br />
Swaffield said.<br />
The submissions encouraged<br />
ECan to extend the route to Governors<br />
<strong>Bay</strong>.<br />
However, resident David<br />
Gregory said ECan ignored<br />
submissions as no one had heard<br />
anything back.<br />
Swaffield did not recall anyone<br />
having contact either.<br />
ECan’s senior manager public<br />
transport, Stewart Gibbon, told<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News it received<br />
feedback from the Governors<br />
HIKING BOOTS<br />
& SHOES<br />
Jennifer<br />
Swaffield<br />
said 49<br />
submissions<br />
were sent to<br />
ECan.<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> community during the review,<br />
but most submissions were<br />
outside the scope of it.<br />
However, staff were to perform<br />
another service review for the<br />
bays, including Governors, and<br />
a review of improved schedules<br />
for workers requiring earlier<br />
services.<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong> would be<br />
incorporated into the service<br />
review planned for 2023/24, he<br />
said.<br />
“We value all feedback from<br />
our communities and encourage<br />
the Governors <strong>Bay</strong> community<br />
to continue having their say on<br />
public transport.”<br />
Community board member<br />
Tyrone Fields said he was aware<br />
of the desire for an increase of<br />
public transport around the<br />
harbour.<br />
While supportive of the Governors<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> community’s needs,<br />
NUMBER ONE SUPPLIER<br />
TO THE NZ JET BOATING<br />
COMMUNITY FOR OVER<br />
50 YEARS<br />
he acknowledged the topic was<br />
complex to solve.<br />
“In a world where Environment<br />
Canterbury funds<br />
bus routes and [city council]<br />
funds infrastructure, it needs<br />
co-ordination between the<br />
different stakeholders to get the<br />
cut-through against a narrative<br />
of service and funding cuts,” he<br />
noted.<br />
Fellow member Reuben<br />
Davidson said the bus add-on<br />
showed “how effective it is when<br />
communities, who have the<br />
need, consult directly with the<br />
regional council who manage the<br />
resource.”<br />
The service was just a “positive<br />
step, but not the end of the conversation,”<br />
he said.<br />
Fields commented that “public<br />
transport services to the Lyttleton<br />
bays have been eroded over<br />
the years, both for school kids<br />
and for residents.”<br />
“The recent win for Cass <strong>Bay</strong><br />
was welcome and hard fought<br />
by residents and there is plenty<br />
to do.”<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong> Community<br />
Association chairwoman Karen<br />
Banwell said the issue wasn’t<br />
easy to solve as, though the community<br />
wanted a bus, the current<br />
bus 28 went through Lyttleton,<br />
which was out of the way.<br />
The last time a public transport<br />
bus entered Governor’s <strong>Bay</strong><br />
was 11 years ago.<br />
Only after persistent campaigning<br />
did ECan provide the<br />
service, which was enjoyed for<br />
three weeks before it terminated<br />
it after the February 22, 2011,<br />
earthquake.<br />
Banwell said the bus service<br />
went through Dyers Pass and<br />
linked up to other services at The<br />
Princess Margaret Hospital.<br />
Not only were the roads damaged,<br />
but ECan said there was<br />
not enough patronage to keep it<br />
going; something Swaffield said<br />
was “a bit unfair” considering it<br />
had run for so little time.<br />
The organisation did, however,<br />
grant the community some<br />
funds for the Transport Trust<br />
to start running the GovBus in<br />
2013.<br />
But the community had to<br />
manage the bus themselves and<br />
were entirely reliant on volunteer<br />
drivers.<br />
After Covid-19 rolled through,<br />
the already struggling service<br />
ground to a halt and the trust<br />
was officially disestablished<br />
recently.<br />
“There’s only so much you can<br />
expect people to do,” Swaffield<br />
said.<br />
Community board chairwoman<br />
Tori Peden said the board<br />
would be “more than happy to<br />
help” and advocate for the Governor’s<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> residents.<br />
Every year the board sent in<br />
submissions to ECan and Peden<br />
said they had been bringing the<br />
community to the table.<br />
If the bus was reinstated,<br />
Swaffield said not only would<br />
residents use it to get to<br />
Christchurch central, but others<br />
would use it to visit Governors<br />
<strong>Bay</strong>; something they saw<br />
people doing when GovBus was<br />
running.<br />

Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> wharf work starts soon<br />
PREPARATIONS are under<br />
way for the start of work on a $3<br />
million upgrade of the Diamond<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> Wharf.<br />
Contractors are due to begin<br />
working on the wharf on September<br />
1.<br />
The wharf, which is used for<br />
the regular Black Cat ferry service<br />
from Lyttelton, is being upgraded<br />
to improve its lifespan and to address<br />
accessibility issues.<br />
“People in<br />
wheelchairs can’t<br />
get onto the ferry<br />
Andrew<br />
Rutledge<br />
from the wharf<br />
and it is also difficult<br />
for those with<br />
bikes or pushchairs.<br />
The steps<br />
are often under<br />
water or slippery,<br />
which makes getting on and off<br />
the ferry tricky, particularly when<br />
conditions are a bit rough,’’ city<br />
council head of parks Andrew<br />
Rutledge said.<br />
“To improve access and safety<br />
we are going to put a floating<br />
pontoon on the south side of the<br />
wharf where there is more protection<br />
from the wind and the waves.<br />
We are also going to upgrade the<br />
existing decking, handrails and<br />
seating on the main wharf.’’<br />
The decommissioned Derrick<br />
crane that currently sits on the<br />
wharf is going to be retained, but<br />
it will be relocated to the other<br />
side of the wharf.<br />
The entire project will take<br />
about six months and the contractor,<br />
Hunter Civil, will stage<br />
the work so that the wharf can<br />
remain open. However, access<br />
will be limited and there may<br />
be temporary changes, at times,<br />
to the way that people get onto<br />
the wharf. These changes will be<br />
clearly signposted.<br />
The first stage of the work will<br />
involve driving piles into the<br />
seabed for the new pontoon to<br />
connect to. Once the piles are<br />
in place and the pontoon connected,<br />
Hunter Civil will start the<br />
maintenance and repair work on<br />
the wharf itself.<br />
“During this time the pontoon<br />
will be connected to the piles attached<br />
to the wharf by a gangway.<br />
We are working closely with Environment<br />
Canterbury and Black<br />
Cat to ensure there is minimal<br />
disruption to commuters during<br />
this time,’’ Rutledge said.<br />
“The environmental assessment<br />
we commissioned shows the piling<br />
work should have little impact<br />
on the marine environment, but<br />
we are going to have a marine<br />
mammal observer present during<br />
the piling operation. If they spot a<br />
dolphin or other marine mammal<br />
within 400m of the site, the piling<br />
work will stop until they have<br />
left the area or there has been 30<br />
minutes without a sighting.’’<br />
Over the summer people will<br />
still be able to swim in Diamond<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> and access their moorings<br />
but they will need to be<br />
mindful of the construction activity<br />
on and around the wharf.<br />
“We realise this work will<br />
cause some disruption but the<br />
Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> wharf is used<br />
by many people and its needs<br />

upgrading. We want the wharf<br />
to be safe, accessible and a more<br />
pleasant space,’’ Rutledge said.<br />
“We are hoping to have the<br />
work completed in about six<br />
months but as with all construction<br />
projects involving old structures,<br />
you never know exactly<br />
what you are going to encounter<br />
until you start doing the physical<br />
work. There is also a possibility<br />
that we may encounter some<br />
supply chain issues. If there are<br />
delays that impact the delivery of<br />
the project or the operation of the<br />
ferry, we will let people know.’’<br />

The Next Everest<br />
surviving the Mountain’s deadliest day and Finding the<br />
resilience to Climb again by Jim davidson<br />
On April 25, 2015, Jim Davidson was climbing Mount Everest when a 7.8 magnitude<br />
earthquake released avalanches all around him and his team, destroying their only escape route<br />
and trapping them at nearly 20,000 feet. It was the largest earthquake in Nepal in 81 years and<br />
killed nearly 8,900 people. That day also became the deadliest in the history of Everest, with<br />
eighteen people losing their lives on the mountain. After spending two unsettling days stranded<br />
on Everest, Davidson’s team was rescued by helicopter. The experience left him shaken, and<br />
despite his thirty-three years of climbing and serving as an expedition leader, he wasn’t sure that<br />
he would ever go back. But in the face of risk and uncertainty, he returned in 2017 and finally<br />
achieved his dream of reaching the summit. Suspenseful and engrossing, The Next Everest<br />
portrays the experience of living through the biggest disaster to ever hit the mountain. This story<br />
is not about “conquering” the world’s highest peak. Instead, it reveals how embracing change,<br />
challenge, and uncertainty prepares anyone to face their “next Everest” in life.<br />
The Founders<br />
elon Musk, Peter thiel and the Company that Made the<br />
Modern Internet By Jimmy soni<br />
Out of Paypal’s ranks have come three billionaires and dozens of multi-millionaires,<br />
including household names like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Reid Hoffman. Paypal’s<br />
alumni have built, funded and advised almost all of the billion-dollar-plus companies to<br />
emerge from Silicon Valley in the past two decades. Today, every online video you watch<br />
and every internet purchase you make bears PayPal’s fingerprints -- its inventions made<br />
the modern internet possible and are embedded in our social networks, our banks and<br />
our intelligence agencies. This book tells the gripping story of how the so-called PayPal<br />
Mafia turned a scrappy start-up into one of the most successful businesses of all time,<br />
worth over $70 billion today. Full of fascinating characters and anecdotes about Silcon<br />
Valley’s biggest titans, The Founders also shows how its founders continue to shape our<br />
future today.<br />
Brazen<br />
by Julia Haart<br />
From the star of Netflix’s My Unorthodox Life comes a riveting, inspiring memoir. Julia Haart<br />
tells the story of her extraordinary journey, from leaving an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community<br />
to becoming one of the most influential people in fashion. Ever since she was a child, every<br />
aspect of Julia Haart’s life - what she wore, what she ate, what she thought - was controlled<br />
by the orders of ultra-Orthodox Judaism. At nineteen, after a lifetime spent caring for her<br />
seven younger siblings, she was married off to a man she barely knew. For the next twentyfour<br />
years, he would rule her life. Eventually, when her youngest daughter, Miriam, started<br />
to question why she wasn’t allowed to sing, run or ride a bike, Julia reached her breaking<br />
point. At the age of forty-two, she finally mustered the courage to leave. Within a week, Julia<br />
started a shoe brand and within nine months she was in Paris for fashion week. A year<br />
later, she became Creative Director of La Perla, the world-leading lingerie brand. And now,<br />
she is the co-owner and CEO of Elite World Group, and one of the most powerful people in<br />
the fashion industry. She is an inspiration for women everywhere to find their freedom, their<br />
purpose and their voice.<br />

Theatre group’s show hopefully not its last<br />
• From page 1<br />
The group moved into<br />
the building after the old<br />
building at the same address<br />
was demolished following the<br />
earthquake.<br />
The group uses the income<br />
from tickets to cover rental costs<br />
but with cancelled shows and<br />
fewer tickets being purchased,<br />
this was becoming more<br />
difficult.<br />
“We’re running on bare<br />
bones . . . basically our costs are<br />
increasing and we’ve had a year<br />
of no income and a year last year<br />
of marginal income,” Mankelow<br />
said.<br />
“People have changed the way<br />
they socialise . . . some people<br />
are quite reluctant to be in<br />
large groups still in a crowded<br />
situation.”<br />
Mankelow said the old<br />
building was used only by the<br />
theatre group so had changing<br />
rooms and space for storage,<br />
however the new facility is<br />
designed for wider community<br />
use.<br />
This means the group has to<br />
pay $<strong>10</strong>,000 a year to hire storage<br />
units for costumes and props.<br />
“I’m now questioning whether<br />
we keep our costumes because<br />
$<strong>10</strong>,000 a year is most of our<br />
income, if we’re even doing a full<br />
season, so it just doesn’t add up<br />
anymore,” Mankelow said.<br />
She said the current building<br />
also has leaking issues, with<br />
the recent flooding seeing half<br />
a metre of water sitting in the<br />
lift shaft and getting into the<br />
electrics.<br />
On top of this, the group’s<br />
technical team were all hit with<br />
Covid two weeks before the<br />
show. However, they are back<br />
working on the final touches<br />
before tomorrow night’s first<br />
show.<br />
Mankelow said it would be<br />
devastating to see the group stop<br />
operating but at the rate things<br />
were going, it was a possibility.<br />
“We are hanging on by a<br />
thread,” she said.<br />
“We might not be the greatest<br />
actors, singers and dancers in the<br />
world, but we get so much out<br />
of it.”<br />

From swimming lessons to instructor<br />
IN 2002, a five-year-old Nick<br />
Weir jumped into the pool at<br />
Pioneer Recreation and Sport<br />
Centre for one of the first ever<br />
Swimsmart lessons.<br />
Now marking the 20 years of<br />
the city council programme,<br />
Weir has gone from pupil to<br />
teacher as the swim education<br />
team leader at Te Pou Toetoe:<br />
Linwood Pool.<br />
“I remember it was such a fun<br />
environment when I was a kid.<br />
The mix of learning a valuable<br />
skill but not really realising it<br />
because it was so much fun,” he<br />
said.<br />
From five to 14-years-old,<br />
Weir was part of the Swimsmart<br />
programme and two years<br />
later he got his first job as an<br />
instructor.<br />
“I’ve navigated my way<br />
through the ocean that is swim<br />
education, first and foremost<br />
being a swimmer, becoming an<br />
instructor, supervisor and then<br />
most recently becoming the<br />
team leader at Te Pou Toetoe,”<br />
Weir said.<br />
“I was definitely inspired by<br />
my years taking part in lessons.<br />
The more kids enjoy swimming<br />
lessons, the more they learn and<br />
that was the case for me.”<br />
In his current role he likes<br />
having the opportunity to teach<br />
and pass on the knowledge that<br />
I’ve acquired to new instructors.<br />
“Giving them the necessary<br />
skills to continue to teach our<br />
rangatahi and to continue give<br />
back to the community an<br />
essential life skill. My passion is<br />
helping people and if I can do so<br />
by continuing to help keep our<br />
tamariki safe in the water that to<br />
me is a job well done,” he said.<br />
“The Swimsmart programme<br />
has a focus on learning how to<br />
be safe in and around the water.<br />
If we can help kids become<br />
confident and help prevent<br />
drownings that is what’s most<br />
important.”<br />
But even now he never misses<br />
an opportunity to pop his togs<br />
on and jump in the pool to help<br />
teach the odd lesson.<br />
“This job is something that<br />
I absolutely love and have<br />
loved watching children and<br />
adults grow in their confidence<br />
and ability over the years,” he<br />
said.<br />

Canterbury teams<br />
A record number of St Margaret’s<br />
College girls competed in two triumphant<br />
Canterbury teams that won their respective<br />
national titles during the recent Term<br />
break.<br />
Ten SMC girls made under 18 regional<br />
selection – five in netball and five in<br />
hockey.<br />
Netballers Te Ata Hassan, Bridie James,<br />
Ashlyn Koce, Cara Mustchin and Josie<br />
Seymour triumphed in the Canterbury<br />
U18A netball team, claiming top honours<br />
with the Margaret Forysth Cup.<br />
Niamh McKenzie, Sorell Shand, Phoebe<br />
Spear, Mezzy Surridge, and Molly Williams<br />
lined up for the winning U18A girls hockey<br />
team.<br />
Director of Sport Helen Belcher says the<br />
girls’ achievements reflected hard work and<br />
commitment.<br />
“These are both stunning performances<br />
and we’re so proud of all the girls have<br />
achieved. It’s not easy balancing the rigours<br />
of sport with academic requirements but<br />
the girls are very dedicated and deserve<br />
success.”<br />
In addition to our students, SMC<br />
was also well-represented by our Sports<br />
staff, with Helen Belcher coaching the<br />
Canterbury U18A netball team, and<br />
Charlotte Lee, hockey coach and SMC<br />

Sumner ‘gutted’ by loss in trophy final<br />
TOO LATE: Sumner fullback Jack Forrest scoring a try in<br />
the second half. Above – Sumner gracious in defeat.<br />
• By Fin Ocheduszko Brown<br />
SUMNER COLTS’ loss on<br />
Saturday – their first since April<br />
2021 – denied them a third<br />
consecutive Metropolitan Colts<br />
trophy.<br />
The 26-22 loss came at the<br />
hands of last year’s runners-up,<br />
Marist Albion, who were eager to<br />
seek revenge.<br />
Sumner’s halfback Jack Rule<br />
said the team was “gutted,<br />
obviously . . . the boys are<br />
hurting”.<br />
Sumner made a strong start<br />
with Will Chunn capitalising<br />
on a kick inside the opening<br />
five minutes, scoring in the far<br />
corner. The try would end up<br />
being Sumner’s only points in<br />
the first half.<br />
Meanwhile, Marist Albion<br />
piled on a flurry of points,<br />
slotting a penalty and two<br />
converted tries to lead 17-5 at the<br />
break.<br />
Rule said Sumner came out<br />
“fizzing” in the second half,<br />
displaying a valiant performance<br />
right out the blocks. A try<br />
and conversion from first-five<br />
Terrence Graham kick-started<br />
the momentum. A textbook<br />
goose-step allowed him to evade<br />
the defender – copping a headhigh<br />
shot in the process – but<br />
diving over nevertheless.<br />
The second part of the half<br />
also came courtesy of Graham.<br />
He again displayed rapid speed<br />
to steer clear of the opposing<br />
defender and burrow over.<br />
However, ill-discipline<br />
kept Marist Albion ahead on<br />
the scoreboard, kicking two<br />
penalties to stretch their lead to<br />
23-17 with just eight minutes to<br />
go.<br />
Quick thinking down the<br />
blindside from replacement<br />
halfback Louis Gunn set fullback<br />
Jack Forrest to streak away into<br />
the far corner for Sumner. The<br />
kick was unconverted, before<br />
Marist Albion capped off their<br />
win with a penalty towards the<br />
final whistle to take the game<br />
26-22.<br />
In spite of the loss, Sumner’s<br />
focus is turning to next season<br />
where Rule expects the team to<br />
continue to flourish.<br />
“We’ve got so much talent<br />
coming through, next year<br />
they’re going to be hurting but<br />
they’re going to go again.”<br />
Many of the current team will<br />
likely be pushing for division<br />
one places after showcasing their<br />
ability throughout the season.<br />
Contrastingly, a large core<br />
of the group will remain in the<br />
Colts side and guide the new<br />
players coming through as they<br />
strive to make amends.<br />

Workplace issues are this<br />
lawyer’s specialty<br />
Abi Borrows is Saunders & Co’s workplace<br />
law specialist. She works with both employers<br />
and employees, and is happy to have an initial,<br />
obligation-free discussion on any aspect of<br />
workplace law that may require her expert assistance.<br />
Originally from Taranaki, Abi moved to<br />
Christchurch 15 years ago, initially working in the<br />
insurance industry.<br />
“I worked for an insurance broker as an advocate<br />
helping clients settle their insurance claims and<br />
I enjoyed that. It was following the earthquakes,<br />
and when that work dried up, I decided to do a law<br />
degree, which would enable me to continue helping<br />
people deal with difficult situations.”<br />
Abi says that while her previous experience<br />
didn’t involve employment matters, the approach<br />
to finding solutions, from both a practical and legal<br />
perspective, is very much the same as it was in her<br />
insurance advocacy work.<br />
“The work I did with insurance, working with<br />
clients, was similar to employment law, so that was<br />
what led to the role I have at Saunders. It’s a good fit<br />
for me.”<br />
Her clients include companies seeking legal advice<br />
on matters such as employment issues, disciplinary<br />
processes and company restructuring, and employees<br />
that need help with any issues concerning their<br />
workplace situation.<br />
“It can become very emotional, and I work with<br />
people to find the best solution,” Abi says.<br />
“I also advise clients when employment contracts<br />
are being reviewed, which involves being up to date<br />
with current regulations, especially at the present<br />
time with the Covid landscape. For employers, I talk<br />
to them about areas of risk and ways they can do<br />
things better.”<br />
As she says, “It’s a very varied role.”<br />

to a plethora of expertise and feels very well<br />
supported.<br />
“I also like assisting our clients from all our<br />
branch offices, including Ferrymead – I enjoy<br />
the close-knit environment there.”<br />
She says clients living in the local area can<br />
make an appointment with her either at the<br />
Ferrymead or city office.<br />
Abi lives in Monck’s <strong>Bay</strong>, and away from<br />
work she enjoys cooking, yoga, and golf.<br />
“My partner and I also like entertaining<br />
friends at home. We love living in this area<br />
and I also feel very fortunate being able to<br />
work as a lawyer helping people when they<br />
need it.”<br />

Treasures from the past:<br />
Dazzle ships of Lyttelton<br />
DURING WORLD War 1<br />
the German Kaiser’s Imperial<br />
U-boat submarine fleet wreaked<br />
havoc amongst Britain’s<br />
Merchant Navy.<br />
By late 1917 the Admiralty was<br />
desperate to find a technological<br />
countermeasure, so the science<br />
boffins at the Merchant<br />
Navy’s new ‘Dazzle Section’<br />
led by marine artist Norman<br />
Wilkinson, came up with a<br />
literally dazzling idea.<br />
Dazzle camouflage was<br />
designed to confuse the<br />
visible form of a ship from the<br />
perspective of a periscope, with<br />
the initial model working so well<br />
on former Royal Navy sailor<br />
King George V that he gave it his<br />
full seal of approval, and thus the<br />
dazzle ships were born.<br />
The application of dazzle<br />
camouflage proved something<br />
of a success and was at least very<br />
popular with the crews of dazzle<br />
ships.<br />
Rather than making a ship<br />
at sea invisible, this form of<br />
camouflage was designed to do<br />
the complete opposite in order<br />
to make the task of plotting a<br />
torpedoe’s path and speed much<br />
more difficult for the German<br />
U-boat gunners.<br />
The intersecting lines with<br />
varied colours and shading could<br />
include fake bow waves, inverted<br />
shadows and many other<br />
perspectival tricks to make it<br />
difficult to judge a ship’s identity,<br />
size, speed and direction of travel<br />
when viewed against the sea and<br />
sky, and in all weather.<br />
Numerous dazzle ships made<br />
Lyttelton their port of call, one<br />
such being the SS War Opal.<br />
Commissioned for the United<br />
Kingdom government’s standard<br />
cargo ship programme in World<br />
War 1 she was one of the last<br />
dazzle ships built towards the<br />
end of 1918.<br />
Designed for speed and<br />
displacing 6690 gross tons she<br />
cut a menacing figure with her<br />
six Samson posts painted war<br />
grey that when lowered into<br />
cradles appeared to be 12-inch<br />
deck guns.<br />
Fitted with watertight<br />

compartments she was thought<br />
to be torpedo proof and near<br />
unsinkable.<br />
On New Year’s Day 1920, still<br />
in full dazzle camouflage, she<br />
visited the port of Lyttelton and<br />
was a key attraction for that<br />
year’s regatta with the Lyttelton<br />
Marine Band playing on<br />
Gladstone Quay, and a torchlight<br />
procession in the evening<br />
held under the auspices of the<br />
Lyttelton Volunteer Fire Brigade.<br />
Sold to the British India<br />
Steam Navigation Co in<br />
1919 and then renamed the<br />
Hatimura, by the outbreak of<br />
World War 2 she was sailing the<br />
dangerous trans-Atlantic routes<br />
and again braving the German<br />
U-boats.<br />
In November 1942 as part<br />
of convoy SC-<strong>10</strong>7 out of New<br />
York bound for the UK, she was<br />
carrying a cargo that included<br />
200 tons of TNT, 250 tons of<br />
gunpowder and 300 tons of<br />
incendiary bombs. The convoy<br />
was attacked by the Nazi U-boat<br />
wolfpack Veilchen with 18<br />
submarines sinking 15 ships in<br />
one of the costliest Allied losses<br />
of the war.<br />
A straggler, the former War<br />
Opal was torpedoed and lost<br />
propulsion with the crew<br />
abandoning the still floating<br />
ship. U-442 came around for<br />
the coup de grâce with U-132<br />
standing off.<br />
The final torpedo detonated<br />
the ship’s deadly cargo which<br />
erupted in one of the largest nonnuclear<br />
explosions recorded in<br />
World War 22, the gigantic blast<br />
destroying U-132 which sank<br />
with all hands lost.<br />

Get adventurous in a RAV4 hybrid<br />
IF EVER THERE was indication<br />
of the direction the automotive<br />
world is heading in terms of<br />
electrification, it has to be the<br />
decision of one of my good<br />
friends.<br />
You see, he’s long been a Holden<br />
owner, and while he still owns<br />
a classic Brougham, he has just<br />
sold his pride and joy – a 2017<br />
Walkinshaw Commodore SSV – a<br />
car claimed to be Holden’s most<br />
powerful.<br />
Not only did that surprise me,<br />
but his big V8 has been replaced by<br />
a Tesla and a Toyota RAV4 hybrid.<br />
I know my friend is sorry to see<br />
the Holden go, but he says that<br />
with changing times and being<br />
in the professional field he felt<br />
he needed to set an example and<br />
drive something less taxing on the<br />
environment.<br />
Now, I’m not knocking his<br />
choice of new transport and, as it<br />
turns out, the RAV4 hybrid is on a<br />
shortlist of models my wife and I<br />
are considering as we contemplate<br />
the purchase of a new car. But the<br />
point I’m making is that the buying<br />
public is well aware electric vehicles<br />
and hybrids are taking control of<br />
the new car market. Toyota claims<br />
the RAV4 hybrid as one of its best<br />
selling models, often selling second<br />
to Hilux on a month by month<br />
basis.<br />
Bear in mind too, that you don’t<br />
have to buy the RAV4 with Toyota’s<br />
hybrid synergy drive system,<br />
conventional driveline variants are<br />
included.<br />
The RAV4 hybrid line-up has just<br />
been extended. Two new models<br />
have been added – Adventure<br />
and XSE. Just like its non-hybrid<br />
stablemate, the Adventure gets a<br />
body kit and interior treatment that<br />
makes it stand out markedly from<br />
the rest of the range. If you like<br />
bold and brash it is the car for you,<br />
large fenders, aggressive bumper<br />
and grille, and big wheels are there<br />
to tempt. Inside, there is also bright<br />
orange detailing.<br />
The Adventure is in the line-up<br />
as a point of difference, and after a<br />
week in the car I can certainly see<br />
its appeal, it looks a little bit rugged<br />
and it has appeal in that way. It is<br />
also the model that my friend now<br />
owns.<br />
I also genuinely believe the<br />
Adventure model could be used as<br />
a vehicle that would take you offroad<br />
and into the backblocks. You<br />
see, the RAV4 has had a fairly good<br />
reputation for cross-country work<br />
and just because it is a hybrid that<br />
doesn’t change anything. The fourwheel-drive<br />
network, along with a<br />
slight suspension elevation, is such<br />
that it will cope well with a bit of a<br />
pounding on those gnarly tracks.<br />
More importantly, I suspect it<br />
will be the model of choice if you<br />
are a winter sport enthusiast, I can<br />
see many sitting in the Mt Hutt ski<br />
field car park.<br />
There are no surprises under<br />
RUGGED LOOKS: The RAV4 Adventure has aggressive<br />
styling to go along with its off-road capability.<br />
TOYOTA RAV4 ADVENTURE: Choice of conventional or hybrid driveline.<br />
• Price – Toyota RAV4<br />
Adventure hybrid, $57,990<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
46<strong>10</strong>mm; width, 1855mm;<br />
height, 1690mm<br />
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />
four-wheel-drive,<br />
2487cc, 131kW, 221Nm,<br />
continuously variable<br />
automatic<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-<strong>10</strong>0km/h, 8.1sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 5.3l/<strong>10</strong>0km<br />
the bonnet, Toyota’s 2.5-litre<br />
hybrid system is well proven and<br />
has become an established part<br />
of the fuel-saving drivelines that<br />
are now so important in a vehicle.<br />
Without delving too deep into the<br />
intricacies of the system it works<br />
simply like this – the four-cylinder<br />
petrol engine drives much like<br />
conventional power; however, it<br />
also charges the batteries that, in<br />
turn, power an electric motor that<br />
works in tandem with the engine<br />
to supply drive through a continuously<br />
variable transmission. The<br />
whole system cycles constantly, the<br />
benefit being less of a load on the<br />
engine and, consequently, lower<br />
fuel usage.<br />
The RAV4 as a series has a fairly<br />
respectable fuel usage figure, the<br />
non-hybrid claimed to return<br />
6.7-litres per <strong>10</strong>0km. All hybrids<br />
are listed at 5.3l/<strong>10</strong>0km, which, by<br />
my reckoning, is a fairly healthy<br />
figure and quite achievable. The<br />
fuel usage readout was sitting constantly<br />
at a respectable 6.5l/<strong>10</strong>0km<br />
during the 280km I drove in the<br />
evaluation model. At <strong>10</strong>0km/h on<br />
the open road the instantaneous<br />
figure is around a thrifty 4l/<strong>10</strong>0km.<br />
I didn’t venture off-road during<br />
my time in the evaluation car, the<br />
weather was filthy across the plains<br />
and I don’t like returning media<br />
evaluation cars untidy. However, I<br />
can report that it is a fabulous open<br />
road tourer. It sits tightly and quietly<br />
on the road, and when those<br />
long Canterbury straights run out<br />
and tight corners present themselves<br />
the RAV4 steers directly into<br />
a bend and the complexity of the<br />
suspension quickly sits composed<br />
and controls body movement.<br />
I mentioned big wheels before,<br />
the Adventure model gets Yokohama<br />
tyres at 235/55 x 19in. They<br />
are a new compound to me but<br />
they equip themselves well with<br />
solid feedback towards the steering<br />
wheel and quiet coarse chip seal<br />
movement.<br />
All factors considered, the RAV4<br />
hybrid is a comfortable touring<br />
car, well it’s a comfortable car at all<br />
speeds and circumstances, and I<br />
guess with its $57,990 figure for the<br />
Adventure model it is stretching towards<br />
the luxury car market. Bear<br />
in mind, though, the RAV4 range<br />
starts at $38,990, the hybrid models<br />
starting at $46,990. All RAV4<br />
hybrids are eligible for a Clean<br />
Car Programme rebate of over<br />
$2000, the Adventure amounting to<br />
$2335.69.<br />
If you want all the bells and whistles<br />
along with in-your-face adornments,<br />
then the Adventure is there<br />
for those who like to be seen, or<br />
who like bold colours and designs.<br />
In terms of fitment, it is a model<br />
that wants for nothing, although I<br />
could do without the video screen<br />
that acts as the interior rear view<br />
mirror, I found it confused my<br />
senses a little. Other than that, the<br />
RAV4 is laid out with ease of use<br />
and it has an intuitive layout.<br />
Toyota has made good use of<br />
the RAV4’s generous proportions,<br />
there are a host of storage pockets<br />
and cubby holes that will easily<br />
take care of those loose items that<br />
we generally travel with, including<br />
a tray for your mobile phone that<br />
will charge it as you drive.<br />
While I’ve long considered<br />
the 2.5-litre Toyota driveline as<br />
being the best hybrid system in<br />
the market, so must many others,<br />
delivery of a new RAV4 hybrid is<br />
pushed out to around 12 months.<br />
How that affects the decision my<br />
wife and I are making hasn’t quite<br />
yet come into focus, but I’m sure<br />
if we do head in that direction the<br />
RAV4 would be well worth the<br />
wait.<br />

It's a wonderful feeling inspecting a HOME which presents well, leaving you more<br />
time to imagine what your life would be like living there, rather than what you<br />
need to fix before moving in.<br />
The HOME itself has oodles of character and charm: the perfect HOME to raise a<br />
family for years to come, ideal for those who adore character homes.<br />
3 BED 1 BATH 1 CAR<br />
586 M2<br />
(MORE OR LESS)<br />
Then there are the bedrooms. All rooms are quite capable of fitting king-sized<br />
beds and the high ceilings make you feel like you have an abundance of space.<br />
Greeted by an oversized door which then opens into a large entranceway, the<br />
immediate feeling of space creates an inviting feeling. The kitchen, dining, and<br />
main living space are filled with natural light, and the open-plan nature of the<br />
HOME emphasizes the functional floor plan. With all the hard work completed,<br />
you can start to appreciate this wonderful HOME.<br />
For the keen gardener, there is enough yard to satisfy your green thumb, install<br />
a vegetable patch or keep some chooks.<br />
Location wise could not get much better. You have the sought-after local school<br />
and pre-school all minutes away. You are only 6 minutes from Lyttelton, and due<br />
to the main ring roads, you are only <strong>10</strong> minutes away from the CBD. You also have<br />
local conveniences a short stroll away and some of Christchurch's best walking<br />
and biking tracks on your doorstep.<br />
