<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 />

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 />

PROJECT: An<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 />

NEW RELEASES<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 />

“There’s a real sense of feeling<br />

Record St Margaret’s College<br />

contingent in winning<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 />

Abi is based at Saunders & Co’s main city office,<br />

so as part of a wider litigation team she has access<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 />
