Trying to live sustainably:<br />
‘Every little bit counts’<br />
FOR DAVE Bryce, one of the<br />
secrets to living a healthier and<br />
longer life is getting down in the<br />
dirt.<br />
At 74, Bryce has been working<br />
to live as sustainably as possible<br />
for the past 20 years.<br />
“My wife and I are trying to<br />
live as sustainably as we can by<br />
providing for most of our needs<br />
through nature.<br />
“We grow trees for firewood,<br />
eat from our garden, and heat<br />
our house from the sun.<br />
“We’ve found that working<br />
with plants and trees is important.<br />
There’s bacteria on them<br />
and in the soil that interact with<br />
our own microbiomes and stimulate<br />
our endorphins.<br />
“We feel good and it keeps us<br />
healthier and more resilient,” he<br />
said.<br />
As a volunteer, Bryce uses his<br />
spare time to co-ordinate the<br />
restoration of Drayton Reserve,<br />
a former pastoral farm that sits<br />
below his home on Mt Pleasant.<br />
“Scientists have said that 50<br />
per cent of the earth’s surface<br />
needs to be returned back to<br />
its original ecosystems if the<br />
human species is to survive, so<br />
we are totally dependent on that<br />
happening and we’re working on<br />
COMMITTED: Dave Bryce uses his spare time to co-ordinate restorating Drayton Reserve.<br />

doing it here,” he said.<br />
“There are many benefits to<br />
working with nature and every<br />
time you go into the reserve,<br />
there is something new to learn<br />
about the interactions between<br />
the plants, bird-life, insects and<br />
fish.”<br />
Bryce has organised volunteers<br />
to work in Drayton Reserve since<br />
2016 and estimates they have<br />
planted about 8000 trees.<br />
“We’ve been doing this for<br />
six years and are in our seventh<br />
planting season. We try to put<br />
in a thousand trees a year, but it<br />
usually ends up being more than<br />
that.<br />
“We have 200 people on our<br />
email list, and 10 to 20 regulars.<br />
We’re always looking for more<br />
people who are keen to get involved,<br />
whether it be individuals,<br />
businesses or school groups.<br />
“All of our trees are ecosourced,<br />
provided by the [city]<br />
council, and we get them right<br />
here in Christchurch from Trees<br />
for Canterbury.”<br />
Bryce keeps the group growing<br />
with regular working bees and<br />
newsletters.<br />
He has also been involved with<br />
the creation of the Eco Kiwi<br />
Pledges, a joint effort with the<br />
Redcliffs Residents’ Association,<br />
which lists ways people can reduce<br />
their carbon emissions and<br />
improve biodiversity.<br />
While planting trees and<br />
looking after the reserve takes<br />
up a lot of Bryce’s spare time, he<br />
is also a keen gardener, growing<br />
more than 100 edible species in<br />
his garden.<br />
From grapes and guava to<br />
broccoli and bananas, Bryce has<br />
attempted to grow it all.<br />
“We love having our own<br />
garden and it means we can<br />
reuse our waste, we don’t have to<br />
go out and buy fruits and vegies,<br />
and we’re integrating with our<br />
own ecosystem.<br />
“Anyone can start getting a<br />
garden growing. You can simply<br />
start by growing micro greens on<br />
your kitchen bench.<br />
“I recommend starting off<br />
small. Things like lettuces are<br />
great as they grow all year round.<br />
Or peas and broad beans are also<br />
quite easy.<br />
“Every little bit counts and<br />
anything can be helpful. We<br />
need to learn to live within<br />
nature if we want to survive on<br />
this planet, everyone can do it,”<br />
said Bryce.<br />

Volunteers needed for Daffodil Day<br />
THE CANCER Society is seeking<br />
more volunteers to help with its local<br />
Daffodil Day street collection next<br />
Friday, <strong>August</strong> 26 and Saturday,<br />
<strong>August</strong> 27.<br />
Cancer Society Canterbury-West<br />
Coast division fundraising manager<br />
Heather Locke said the organisation<br />
is excited to be able to get out and<br />
about this year, after the nationwide<br />
lockdown forced the cancellation of<br />
last year’s street appeal.<br />
“Every day 71 New Zealanders are<br />
diagnosed with cancer, so everybody<br />
knows somebody who has been<br />
impacted,” Locke said.<br />
“Volunteering for a couple of hours<br />
on Daffodil Day is a really great way<br />
to support the thousands of New<br />
Zealanders living with cancer.”<br />

Fruits of labour shared<br />
THE LIONS clubs of Kaitaia and<br />
Manganui have been picking,<br />
collecting and boxing up six<br />
tonnes of citrus fruit and sending<br />
it down to the South Island, with<br />
Mainfreight transporting it for<br />
free.<br />
Last week 19 banana boxes of<br />
fruit arrived. The Ferrymead and<br />
New Brighton Lions clubs distributed<br />
it to the Salvation Army,<br />
Christchurch City Mission,<br />
Community Fridge and Pantry,<br />
and other needy places. This<br />
would be one of the most enjoyable<br />
jobs that Lions have done.<br />
Others include the spring pea<br />
straw sales, which will be on<br />
Saturday, <strong>August</strong> 20 at Clifton<br />
Terrace, Sumner, and the Redcliffs<br />
end of McCormicks <strong>Bay</strong> Rd,<br />
and on Saturday, September 10 at<br />
Princess Margaret Hospital car<br />
park and on the corner of Ramahana<br />
and Centaurus Rds. Both<br />
sales will be from 9am-1pm.<br />
As well as sausage sizzle<br />
fundraisers at Bunnings and<br />
Mitre 10, a new project has been<br />
running a canteen/sausage sizzle<br />
at Ferrymead Park. This has been<br />
popular especially on cold days.<br />
It is great news that the<br />
Christchurch Schools’ Music<br />
Festival is going to be held again<br />
this year at the town hall. This<br />
is one of the activities that all<br />
Lions clubs in Christchurch have<br />
supported for many years.<br />
So please carry on supporting<br />
our fundraising projects – and<br />
consider becoming a volunteer,<br />
because we need more people to<br />
help us carry on giving to worthy<br />
causes.<br />

Personal twist to research on<br />
• By Tina Grumball<br />
FOR OLIVIA Shimasaki, her<br />
research into those affected by<br />
nuclear weapons and testing<br />
uncovered a personal twist.<br />
Her grandmother was nineyears-old<br />
in 1945 when atomic<br />
bombs were dropped on Japan,<br />
first on Hiroshima on <strong>August</strong><br />
6 and then Nagasaki three days<br />
later.<br />
Living in a village about<br />
three hours north of Tokyo,<br />
Shimasaki said her grandmother<br />
remembered the bombings and<br />
the “shock to the nation” they<br />
caused.<br />
Between 60,000 and 80,000<br />
people were killed immediately<br />
in Hiroshima, and more than<br />
70,000 were killed in the subsequent<br />
bombing of Nagasaki.<br />
“I think it would have been<br />
something people all over<br />
Japan felt a connection to as it<br />
happened to their citizens and<br />
country,” Shimasaki said.<br />
“I’ve been studying specifically<br />
oral histories associated with<br />
experiences of nuclear weapons<br />
and testing and exposure to<br />
radiation for the past seven years<br />
now.”<br />
To further her research, she<br />
has been picked for an internship<br />
opportunity with the International<br />
Atomic Energy Agency.<br />
There were seven women globally<br />
picked for the programme<br />
that focuses on getting women<br />
into the nuclear field.<br />
Shimasaki is the first from<br />
New Zealand.<br />
Shimasaki lives and works<br />
in Christchurch as a part-time<br />
youth programmes co-ordinator<br />
for The Peace Foundation, and<br />
a youth and young adults officer<br />
for the Society of St Vincent De<br />
Paul.<br />
Her interest in the area began<br />
during a university lecture.<br />
“This individual came in and<br />
showed a video on the effects of<br />
nuclear weapons in the Pacific,”<br />
she recalled.<br />
“It was really heavily oral<br />

exploration of<br />
oral histories<br />

history-based, looking at individuals<br />
who are impacted.”<br />
That lecture made her question<br />
why she had never heard about it<br />
and what she could do for those<br />
affected.<br />
“So I went off and I did a lot<br />
more research.”<br />
Shimasaki was granted a<br />
scholarship by the Peace and<br />
Disarmament Education fund<br />
to travel to Japan and interview<br />
Hibakusha, who are “people affected<br />
by nuclear bombs, atomic<br />
bombs and radiation.”<br />
“I got to talk with these people,<br />
around my grandparents’ age,<br />
and hear their oral histories and<br />
share those with the world,” she<br />
said.<br />
What drove her was trying to<br />
get their stories out there and<br />
show others the lasting effects,<br />
and what others can do to support<br />
those already exposed.<br />
She also interviewed two<br />
nuclear test veterans in New<br />
Zealand, including Roy Sefton<br />
and the wife of an atomic bomb<br />
tester.<br />
“All of the oral histories in<br />
my thesis I feel are so impactful<br />
which is why I’m going to do<br />
this internship and going to<br />
learn more, and hopefully<br />
speak out for peace because they<br />
all have something to contribute<br />
to the nuclear discussion,” she<br />
said.<br />
The internship itself is between<br />
three months to a year at the<br />
IAEA, and Shimasaki has been<br />
placed in the Department of<br />
Safeguards.<br />
The department focused on<br />
education and making sure<br />
nuclear materials are being used<br />
in the right way.<br />

the effects of nuclear weapons<br />
A few years ago, she was one of<br />
100 women globally to receive the<br />
IAEA Marie Sklodowska-Curie<br />
fellowship and through that she<br />
was contacted and offered the internship<br />
to continue the research<br />
she had done.<br />
“I just hope that we can continue<br />
to speak out for peace and<br />
we take the time to listen to these<br />
people’s stories so that we can<br />
learn from the past,” Shimasaki<br />
said.<br />
“I guess the threat of nuclear<br />
warfare isn’t new, but the ways<br />
that we can address it have<br />
changed.”<br />
While every story stuck with<br />
her, Shimasaki said one that<br />
stuck out was about a green shirt;<br />
“it seems like the most simple<br />
thing if you saw it.”<br />
“I’d seen [the green shirt] in the<br />
War Memorial Museum when I’d<br />
visited . . . I thought it was such<br />
a sad, touching story that it was<br />
the only item left that this family<br />
had in remembrance of their<br />
daughter; they had nothing else.<br />
“The following day, I spoke<br />
with one of my interviewees and<br />
it actually turned out that that<br />
was one of his sisters’ shirt and<br />
they only found it decades later in<br />
their mother’s drawer, wrapped<br />
up really preciously, and they had<br />
no idea that she’d kept that from<br />
their sister, and that she’d held<br />
onto that trauma and that loss, up<br />
into her old age.”<br />
“There’s really so many powerful,<br />
sad stories that I think just<br />
need to be heard,” she said.<br />
Shimasaki noted that all of the<br />
people she spoke to “have made<br />
a conscious decision to speak out<br />
for peace.”<br />
She recalled a man she spoke<br />
to that had only attended the<br />
Hiroshima Memorial Museum<br />
decades after he was exposed<br />
to radiation in the atomic bombing.<br />
Now retired, it was after<br />
reading that hundreds of people<br />
in the same year at school as<br />
him had died that he felt an<br />
“obligation, in a way, to speak<br />
out for those people that had<br />
died because they couldn’t do it<br />
themselves.”<br />
“[What’s] really inspirational<br />
is these people, after all these<br />
years, are still choosing to [speak<br />
for peace] and wanting to spread<br />
peace so that they know no<br />
one ever has to go through that<br />
again,” she said.<br />
Shimasaki leaves for the internship,<br />
in Austria, in September<br />
and is excited to go.<br />
“I think it’s going to be a very<br />
exciting challenge and a big<br />
change for me, but it’s something<br />
I’m really looking forward to<br />
going and doing.”<br />

New home for Bush Farm Education<br />
• By Annabel Black<br />
FINDING AND securing a new<br />
residence for much-loved Bush<br />
Farm Education has been an<br />
involved process for managing<br />
director and lead kaiako Katie<br />
Earle and her team.<br />
“We were<br />
looking for a<br />
new location<br />
that could offer<br />
a connection to<br />
the land, sea and<br />
nature, similar<br />
to what we had<br />
Katie Earle at Orton Bradley<br />
Park,” Earle said.<br />
Reaching out to the local<br />
community led Earle to meet<br />
with Denis Aldridge from Living<br />
Springs, and the synergy between<br />
the two organisations was<br />
quickly realised.<br />
To celebrate the new partnership,<br />
Bush Farm will be holding<br />
an open day at Living Springs on<br />
September 1 at 3pm.<br />
For 50 years, Living Springs<br />
has attracted many thousands<br />
of young people and community<br />
groups to a unique and<br />
breath-taking setting. The<br />
campers engage with nature,<br />
unplug from city life and have<br />
the opportunity to take part in<br />
challenging adventures.<br />
Living Springs business<br />
development manager Heba<br />
Mashhour said: “Much of our<br />
OUTDOORS: For 10-year-old Baxter Scott, Bush Farm<br />
Education is his favourite place to be – other than home.<br />
ethos centres around well-being,<br />
the outdoors, the environment<br />
and education. As such, we are<br />
delighted to welcome Bush Farm<br />
education to Living Springs.”<br />
For Bush Farm, the new location<br />
offers a stream, native bush,<br />
a working sheep farm, animals,<br />
access to the sea, and a similar<br />
vision.<br />
For working parents, it’s even<br />
closer to Ōtautahi Christchurch,<br />
now a 15-minute commute over<br />
the hill from Colombo St, and a<br />
similar drive from Lyttelton and<br />
Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
Bush Farm Education started<br />
in 2018 to cater to the people<br />
of Waitaha Canterbury. It grew<br />
out of the need to bring a deeper<br />
connection to the farm, sea and<br />
whenua.<br />
Research indicates children<br />
who experience outdoor play<br />
have higher pro-environmental<br />
attitudes, are more resilient and<br />
are resourceful, while Indigenous<br />
knowledge shows a deep<br />
connection to the whenua fosters<br />
holistic well-being and supports<br />
a sense of identity and belonging.<br />
“By combining both lenses,<br />
within a relationship-based<br />
environment, our whānau can<br />
flourish in their knowledge, and<br />
further their understanding of<br />
the world,” Earle said.<br />
“Bush Farm operates outdoors,<br />
year-round, in all weathers.<br />
We’re an organisation that connects<br />
nature with resourcefulness.<br />
We follow the cycles of the<br />
seasons. We ask the ‘why’ and<br />
the ‘how’. We craft, we observe,<br />
we gather, we kōrero.”<br />
The feedback is unanimous:<br />
the children and their families<br />
love it.<br />
Baxter Scott is 10-years-old<br />
and has been a student at Bush<br />
Farm since the start of the year.<br />
He takes leave from his local<br />
primary school to attend each<br />
Thursday during the school<br />
term, as well as joining holiday<br />
programmes events.<br />
“Being somewhere new means<br />
we can do different things<br />
around Living Springs,” said<br />
Baxter.<br />
“I say it will be very nice – I<br />
am so happy that Living Springs<br />
is allowing us to keep going. I<br />
love Bush Farm – learning about<br />
the outdoors has been great.<br />
Other than my home(s) it’s my<br />
favourite place to be, it feels like I<br />
have a lot of friends there.”<br />
Bush Farm uses a variety of<br />
tools on its programmes such<br />
as sensory awareness, self-care,<br />
quiet mind, autonomy, co-operation,<br />
empathy, interdependence,<br />
pattern detection, singing and<br />
storytelling. The school ensures<br />
learners are connected to themselves,<br />
their community and<br />
their environment in a way that<br />
empowers them to act as kaitiaki<br />
and future problem-solvers.<br />

Hilda’s rose planted at Mona Vale<br />
• By Tina Grumball<br />
A “VERY SPECIAL” rose has<br />
been planted in Mona Vale<br />
Garden Park in honour of its<br />
namesake who was murdered<br />
under suspicious circumstances.<br />
English peace campaigner and<br />
world renowned rose-grower<br />
Hilda Murrell was found dead in<br />
the Shropshire countryside, West<br />
Midlands, in 1984.<br />
While a person was arrested<br />
and sent to prison for her murder<br />
in 2005, there is still uncertainty<br />
surrounding her “bizarre,<br />
strange” death, including the role<br />
of British intelligence.<br />
A prominent figure at the rose<br />
planting ceremony, her nephew<br />
Robert Green published a book<br />
about her death called A Thorn<br />
in Their Side in 2013.<br />
In his book, Green explored<br />
new evidence that should have<br />
acquitted the charged man and<br />
exposes police errors from their<br />
investigation.<br />
Green served for 20 years in<br />
the British Royal Navy, from<br />
1962-82, where he worked with<br />
nuclear depth-bombs and as an<br />
intelligence officer during the<br />
Falklands War.<br />
Now a leading figure in talking<br />
about disarmament, including<br />
nuclear, he lives in Christchurch<br />
and is married to Dr Kate Dewes<br />
– another prominent figure in<br />
ENDURING: Rob Green with a Hilda Murrell rose bush, which was planted at Mona Vale.<br />
A world-renowned rose grower and peace campaigner, Murrell (inset) was murdered in<br />
1984 in what was described as “bizarre, strange” circumstances.<br />
this area.<br />
The rose planted last Tuesday<br />
was named after Murrell just<br />
three weeks before she was<br />
murdered, as a tribute to her and<br />
the international respect she had<br />
gained as a rose-grower by David<br />
Austin, a famous rose grower<br />
himself.<br />
“This was an old-fashioned<br />
rose which was developed by a<br />
famous rose grower in England<br />
called David Austin back in the<br />
1980s and 90s,” Green told The<br />
Star.<br />
“He knew my aunt . . . admired<br />
her, and this rose, as she described<br />
it in her own diary . . . it’s<br />
an old-fashioned warm pink after<br />
the manner of Constance Spry.”<br />
Constance Spry was a famous<br />
pioneer and collector of old<br />
English roses.<br />
These older roses, like the Hilda<br />
Murrell rose, are different to<br />
those more modern, as they only<br />
flower once a year.<br />
“They have a very strong scent<br />
and they’re all very special. They<br />
have a long history going back<br />
hundreds of years,” Green said.<br />
He said the stock of Hilda’s<br />
rose almost died out in the<br />
United Kingdom, but some New<br />
Zealand rose growers worked<br />
“diligently” to propagate the<br />
plant.<br />
There are now 11 plants<br />
ready to be distributed to the<br />
rest of the country, starting in<br />
Christchurch.<br />
“I am confident that Hilda<br />
would have been delighted to<br />
know [it].”<br />
Murrell was also a campaigner<br />
against nuclear waste from the<br />
nuclear power plants that generate<br />
electricity.<br />
“The problem of nuclear power<br />
plants is that if they go wrong<br />
then they have hundreds of times<br />
the radioactivity in them than<br />
nuclear weapons . . . it can spread<br />
on the wind, and you can’t get<br />
rid of it for years and years, and<br />
it’s basically poisonous,” Green<br />
said.<br />
Green noted the Ukranian<br />
War is something Murrell would<br />
have kept a close eye on as the<br />
biggest nuclear power plant is<br />
there, and, if it got out of control,<br />
“it would radiate the whole of<br />
Europe”.<br />
“She was also concerned about<br />
nuclear weapons, but her primary<br />
concern was about waste.”<br />
Green and Dewes were at<br />
the 77th anniversary gathering<br />
in Hagley Park for the atomic<br />
bombings of Nagasaki and<br />
Hiroshima earlier this month.<br />

Further opportunities to present grants<br />
AS THE Sumner-Ferrymead<br />
Foundation becomes better<br />
known, the opportunities to<br />
make grants increases. We<br />
have noticed that over the last<br />
year or so the number of grant<br />
applications has increased.<br />
THis increased interest for<br />
grant applications is a good news<br />
story – we are delighted to be<br />
able to help more people in our<br />
community even though at time<br />
in the future we may need to<br />
raise more money to do it.<br />
Part of our increase in granting<br />
has been our scholarships<br />
which are certainly popular: we<br />
are awarding scholarships for<br />
more disciplines. For example<br />
we now have a scholarship for<br />
people doing finance and a new<br />
apprenticeship assistance scholarship.<br />
However, we would like to do<br />
more. First, this means more<br />
people. With that in mind, we<br />
are delighted to welcome Sumner<br />
residents Max Mathias and Mel<br />
Jones as new trustees. Both Jim<br />
Keegan and Julie Cunningham<br />
have recently stepped down –<br />
Julie has been a trustee since the<br />
foundation’s inception nearly 30<br />
years ago, and Jim has served for<br />
eight years. We take this opportunity<br />
to thank them both for<br />
their service.<br />
As we find more trustees we<br />
must also look to our financial<br />
resources – we currently have a<br />
little over $300,000 in capital. Of<br />
this, $200,000 has been invested<br />
for the long-term in an investment<br />
portfolio with FANZ and<br />
we do not expect to have to draw<br />
on this anytime soon. The balance<br />
is in cash and so available to<br />
meet grant applications.<br />
Our capital has come from<br />
within our community courtesy<br />
of some very generous donors.<br />
Dora Grut started the foundation<br />
with great generosity, and<br />
she has been joined by others<br />
over the years.<br />
The foundation has helped a<br />
lot of people and organisations<br />
over the years. This year, trustees<br />
were overwhelmed with the<br />
quality of the young people who<br />
applied for tertiary education<br />
and delighted that we could help<br />
them advance their education<br />
through scholarships. We were<br />
sorry that we could not help<br />
more.<br />
We have also granted to people<br />
and organisations for varied<br />
purposes including going to<br />
International sporting events<br />
such as the World Junior Surfing<br />
Championships. At our last<br />
meeting we made grants for<br />
travel to the World Junior Orienteering<br />
Champs and a Canoe<br />
Racing New Zealand Camp. At<br />
the same meeting, we granted to<br />
the Redcliffs Library.<br />
While these grants will continue<br />
to happen, we are also considering<br />
a major project, possibly<br />
the replanting of the valley above<br />
Recent<br />
recipients of<br />
grants from<br />
the Sumner-<br />
Ferrymead<br />
Foundation.<br />
Barnett Park as set out on these<br />
pages previously.<br />
There are any number of<br />
individuals and organisations<br />
in the Sumner-Ferrymead area<br />
that are worthy and for whom<br />
some help could make all the<br />
difference.<br />
As the granting side of the<br />
foundation increases, we will<br />
need to bolster our finances. A<br />
bigger foundation with more<br />
resources will be able to better<br />
help its community.<br />

Lyttelton Timeball Station<br />
FROM ITS prominent position high<br />
on the ridge above Officers Point,<br />
the Lyttelton Timeball Station has<br />
been a significant landmark on the<br />
skyline since its completion in 1876.<br />
With Lyttelton being a busy port,<br />
this location was chosen in order<br />
that the dropping of the timeball<br />
and associated flag signalling could<br />
be seen from the township, inner<br />
harbour and the Adderley Head<br />
signal station at the entrance to<br />
Whakaraupō Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
Albeit a well loved feature of<br />
Lyttelton’s landscape, the Timeball<br />
Station’s purpose and function<br />
is not always well understood if<br />
current anecdotal accounts are anything<br />
to go by; we aim to put that<br />
to rights here! The dropping of the<br />
Timeball at precisely 1 pm NZMT<br />
(NZ Mean Time) enabled ship’s<br />
captains to compare local time with<br />
GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) – a<br />
crucial means of recalibrating their<br />
instruments after long sea voyages,<br />
during which chronometers could<br />
gain or lose precious seconds.<br />
In any long sea journey, accurate<br />
determination of a ship’s position<br />
(latitude and longitude) is critical<br />
– a few degrees out can mean the<br />
difference between life and death<br />
due to the risks of collision with<br />
landmasses or reefs, or other<br />
maritime losses resulting from not<br />
knowing exactly where you are. In<br />
1800s and 1900s European sailing<br />
practice, latitude was relatively<br />
easy to calculate with the use of an<br />
astrolabe (cross staff) or sextant,<br />
which measured the angle between<br />
the sun and the horizon. Longitude<br />
posed a greater challenge; the much<br />
used ‘dead reckoning’ perhaps in<br />
part named due to the consequences<br />
of getting it wrong – ”you’re dead if<br />
you don’t reckon right”.<br />
Lieutenant James Cook had taken<br />
an early chronometer for a test<br />
drive on his second voyage to New<br />
Zealand in <strong>17</strong>72, resulting in the<br />
confirmation of the success of the<br />
technique. With a chronometer on<br />
board, a navigator could accurately<br />
calculate the difference between the<br />
time at a previously known fixed<br />
point and the time at his current<br />
position, thus being able to calculate<br />
longitude accurately. The development<br />
of a reliable chronometer by<br />
English watchmaker George Harrison<br />
in <strong>17</strong>59, after 30 years effort,<br />
was the linchpin for the widespread<br />
uptake of this method of navigation.<br />
One of Harrison’s clocks is housed<br />
in the Royal Observatory at Greenwich<br />
for those lucky enough to visit.<br />
Consequently, a network of timeballs<br />
of varied designs sprung up in<br />
major ports around the globe in the<br />
Victorian era. Lyttelton’s Timeball<br />
was one of six throughout Aotearoa<br />
– Auckland, Wanganui, Wellington,<br />
Timaru and Dunedin also had their<br />
maritime timepieces, with Nelson<br />
having a noon time gun and a contemporary<br />
timeball being constructed<br />
on the Whangarei marina office<br />
in the 1990s.<br />
With Siemens Brothers apparatus,<br />
and its wooden frame covered in a<br />
zinc cladding, the Lyttelton timeball<br />
was manually wound to the top of<br />
the mast at three minutes to 1pm<br />
each day.<br />
Originally, the drop was triggered<br />
telegraphically via the Colonial<br />
Observatory in Wellington then the<br />
Telegraph Office in Lyttelton, to the<br />
Edward Dent and Co clock in the<br />
clock room of the tower, although<br />
the ball could also be dropped<br />
manually. The moment the ball left<br />
the crossbar signalled precisely 1pm;<br />
that time was chosen as mariners<br />
were otherwise engaged at noon -<br />
seamen changing watch and staff at<br />
observatories busy taking noontime<br />
sun readings.<br />
This great description by George<br />
Eiby, Superintendent of the Seismological<br />
Observatory in 1978, does<br />
not however, evoke the wonderful<br />
sound effects of the old ball in<br />
action – a rhythmic clacking on its<br />
ascent and a loud woosh as the ball<br />
fell.<br />
“The timeball is not a complicated<br />
mechanism. Before it can drop, it<br />
must be hoisted to the top of the<br />
mast and lowered gingerly on to a<br />
catch. This is done with the help<br />
of a rack and pinion driven by<br />
a handwheel. The process bears<br />
comparison with the setting of an<br />
old-fashioned mousetrap. When the<br />
catch is pulled away, the ball slides<br />
rapidly down the mast and comes to<br />
rest on rubber buffers at the bottom.<br />
The speed of the descent is controlled<br />
by a piston attached to the<br />
ball, which drives air out of a long<br />
cylinder rather like a giant bicycle<br />
pump. A tap at the bottom controls<br />
the escaping air and ensures that the<br />
ball falls quickly enough to provide<br />
a clear signal, but not so fast that it<br />
does itself an injury when it hits the<br />
bottom.”<br />
With the rapid development of<br />
radio communications during and<br />
post WW1, official use of the timeball<br />
ceased in December 1934, after<br />
58 years of service.<br />
In next week’s column we will<br />

Linwood edge Hornby in epic battle<br />
• By Will Evans<br />
LINWOOD KEAS have<br />
regained the symbol of<br />
Canterbury Rugby League<br />
supremacy, Penitito Ilalio<br />
etching his name into grand<br />
final folklore through a<br />
phenomenal 50m solo matchwinner<br />
in the dying seconds.<br />
The Keas edged defending<br />
champion Hornby 34-30 at Nga<br />
Puna Wai on Sunday, icing a<br />
successful grand final schedule<br />
for Linwood, who also claimed<br />
the women’s and men’s premier<br />
reserve grade silverware.<br />
Linwood’s elite men’s team<br />
reeled in a 12-point half-time<br />
deficit to lead 24-18, although<br />
the Panthers appeared on course<br />
for back-to-back titles after<br />
scoring two unanswered tries to<br />
regain the advantage 30-24.<br />
Earlier wing Vaione Siaki<br />
opened the Pat Smith Trophy<br />
grand final scoring for Hornby<br />
with a 15th-minute try.<br />
Linwood responded when<br />
George Faaiva crashed over from<br />
close range, but converted tries<br />
to Charlie Charlie and Christian<br />
Fetu put Hornby in control 18-6<br />
at halftime.<br />
However, the Keas came out<br />
firing after the break, scoring<br />
three tries in first 11 minutes of<br />
the second stanza to build a sixpoint<br />
advantage.<br />
But Eti Collins levelled the<br />
MATCH-WINNER: Linwood wing Penitito Ilalio entered<br />
Canterbury Rugby League men’s premiership grand final<br />
folklore with his championship-winning try in the dying<br />
seconds against Hornby.<br />
scores via a try from a kick,<br />
before Panthers fullback Muipu<br />
Nati scorched in for a brilliant<br />
individual score.<br />
The Keas set up a grandstand<br />
finish via an unconverted try<br />
with 14 minutes to go.<br />
The Panthers defended desperately<br />
through the closing stages<br />
and had one hand on the Pat<br />
Smith Trophy, until wing Ilalio<br />
cut through on halfway and<br />
produced a dazzling sidestep to<br />
evade Nati and streak away for<br />
a spectacular try to secure the<br />
club’s sixth men’s premiership in<br />
seven years.<br />
For the Panthers, it was an<br />
absolute heart-breaker after a<br />
gallant performance – and especially<br />
poignant in Jed Lawrie’s<br />
final game as head coach.<br />
Linwood second rower Uriah<br />
Tuli was awarded the Mel Cooke<br />
Trophy as player of the match.<br />
The Keas clinched their first<br />
CHAMPIONS: The Linwood Keas celebrate their sixth<br />
grand final victory in seven years by avenging last season’s<br />
loss to Hornby in the decider.<br />
women’s premiership since 2018<br />
with a 22-20 over two-time<br />
defending champion Sydenham<br />
Swans in another grand final<br />
thriller. Trailing by 10 points<br />
with 14 minutes remaining, the<br />
Keas scored the last three tries of<br />
the decider to snatch the title.<br />
Swans forward Janaya Mata<br />
crashed over for the first<br />
four-pointer in the 10th minute,<br />
but Keas front rower Angela<br />
Petero and winger Tayjuan<br />
Faataape-Tuiloma scored in consecutive<br />
sets midway through<br />
the first half to give Linwood a<br />
10-4 lead.<br />
Abby Thornley responded for<br />
Sydenham with a try just before<br />
halftime to cut the deficit to two<br />
points.<br />
Another barnstorming effort<br />
from Mata 10 minutes after<br />
the break put the Swans back<br />
in front, before a slick passing<br />
movement resulted in a try for<br />
Harmony Simaile and a 10-point<br />
advantage as a premiership<br />
three-peat loomed.<br />

Healthy trees<br />
add value to<br />
your property<br />

SPORT<br />
Trees are a lifetime investment. The<br />
trees that surround your home fortify<br />
your refuge from the world. Your<br />
home is your haven, and we want to<br />
ensure that it remains that way. Caring<br />
for your trees starts with correct<br />
pruning, removal is the last resort.<br />
Trees are pruned or trimmed for<br />
several tree care reasons. Professional,<br />
experienced Arborists can improve<br />
tree health, tree structure, and add<br />
light, space, and beauty to your<br />
beloved trees with correct pruning.<br />
Pruning a little and often is the way<br />
to gently guide your tree to a happy,<br />
prosperous life. There are several<br />
different pruning techniques to get the<br />
most out of your trees.<br />
Canopy lifting involves the removal<br />
of lower canopy branches to provide<br />
clearance for buildings, vehicles,<br />
pedestrians, to enhance views and<br />
increase light. This is a great alternative<br />
to removal to retain your tree assets<br />
and reap the benefits of mature trees<br />
on your property.<br />
Thinning increases light penetration<br />
and air movement through the crown.<br />
It also opens the foliage of a tree,<br />
reduces weight on heavy limbs, and<br />
helps retain the tree’s natural shape.<br />
This decreases the chances of disease<br />
and can prolong the life of the tree.<br />
New hedges should be trimmed<br />
from an early stage to establish a<br />
shape and prevent leggy, unsightly<br />
growth. The amount you prune back<br />
will depend on the type of hedge.<br />
Once the hedge is established, regular<br />
maintenance will ensure it remains<br />
healthy and has a great appearance.<br />
Vista management is managing<br />
Before<br />
After<br />
your vegetation to optimising and<br />
frame your view with properly<br />
pruned vegetation. Healthy trees can<br />
offer many benefits to your property<br />
including adding to the market value<br />
of a property as well as privacy.<br />
However, as they become larger,<br />
they can obscure a desirable view.<br />
Some of the most beautiful views in<br />
New Zealand can be found on Banks<br />
Peninsula. Attempting to maintain<br />
these views is one of the main reasons<br />
people cut or top trees, which can<br />
cause bigger problems than they solve.<br />
Our passionate team has the<br />
experience to work as quickly and as<br />
safely as possible. We can perform all<br />
aspects of arboricultural care for your<br />
trees.<br />

Message in a bottle found inside memorial<br />
A HAND-written note listing<br />
the names of the original<br />
stonemasons who worked on the<br />
Citizens’ War Memorial has been<br />
found inside the monument’s<br />
concrete core.<br />
The 85-year-old note was tightly<br />
rolled-up inside a glass bottle<br />
that was found when the memorial<br />
was being deconstructed.<br />
The memorial has been<br />
restored and relocated to a new<br />
spot in Cathedral Square, near<br />
where the police kiosk used to be.<br />
“It was a fluke discovery,” city<br />
council head of vertical capital<br />
delivery Brent Smith said.<br />
“The contractor was working<br />
on dismantling the concrete<br />
core of the memorial when a<br />
big chunk of concrete broke off,<br />
revealing the glass bottle.<br />
“If the concrete had not broken<br />
in that exact spot, we would<br />
never have found it.”<br />
The glass bottle was handedover<br />
to a team of conservators<br />
from Canterbury Museum who<br />
delicately drilled through the<br />
bottle’s glass stopper to reach the<br />
note inside.<br />
However, the neck of the bottle<br />
was too narrow and the note too<br />
fragile because some moisture<br />
had seeped in.<br />
They had to wait several weeks<br />
for the rolled-up piece of paper<br />
to dry out before they could have<br />
another go at extracting it.<br />
When the note was finally unfurled<br />
it was clear some of it had<br />
disintegrated, but the handwritten<br />
names of five stonemasons<br />
who worked on the memorial<br />
were still visible.<br />
The date the note was written -<br />
February 1937 – was also visible.<br />
“The note is a bit worse for<br />
wear but it is an amazing link to<br />
the past that could easily have<br />
laid undiscovered,” Smith said.<br />
“I think what this note shows<br />
is that the original stonemasons<br />
were very proud of being part<br />
of building this memorial to the<br />
men and women who lost their<br />
lives in World War 1 and they<br />
wanted their role in the project to<br />
be remembered.<br />
“I am delighted that 85 years<br />
on we have recovered the note<br />
they hid and can publicly acknowledge<br />
them for their skilled<br />
workmanship and the part they<br />
played in creating this cherished<br />
memorial,” Smith said.<br />
DISCOVERY:<br />
The bottle<br />
containing<br />
the small<br />
hand-written<br />
note was<br />
found inside<br />
the Citizens’<br />
War<br />
Memorial.<br />
PHOTOS:<br />
NEWSLINE<br />
For the team of stonemasons<br />
working on the restoration and<br />
relocation of the memorial, the<br />
discovery was special.<br />
“This discovery is a reminder<br />
of the rich history and tradition<br />
we’re helping to preserve,” said<br />
Goldfield Stone stonemason<br />
Regan Shanks.<br />
The city council aims to reveal<br />
the restored memorial in its new<br />
location in time for Armistice<br />

great Aussie motoring memories, from the original Monaro’s<br />
launch in 1968 to living in the seventies through the Torana years.<br />

from 1978 to 2020 and including the last Aussie-built V8s.<br />

Ford Falcon Commemorative Edition<br />
The Great Years, The Great Cars by Luke West<br />
Ford Falcon Commemorative Edition celebrates the much-loved car’s<br />
six-decade rule of Aussie roads and racetracks.<br />
With the chequered flag flying on the Blue Oval favourite, this book<br />
examines the first Falcons to take flight in the early 1960s through<br />
to the final FG-X. Special emphasis is placed on the glorious decade<br />
1969-78 and the magnificent high-performance machines from the<br />
Falcon XW GT-HO to the XA, XB and the Cobra. These are cars that<br />
still command instant respect and ooze all the excitement, emotion,<br />
colour, freedom and raw power of their time.<br />
Ford Falcon captures the stories from the men who designed,<br />
developed, built and raced these bred-for-Bathurst beasts. It features<br />
stunning photography of Falcon’s triumphs, milestones and majesty.<br />
After some 56 years and 3.8 million cars, what better way to say<br />
goodbye to Aussie motoring royalty.<br />

Fresh face for Skoda Kodiaq<br />
WHEN I’M booking evaluation<br />
cars in my diary I generally try to<br />
avoid an overlap, one car at a time<br />
is preferable.<br />
However, that is not always<br />
possible and after a schedule<br />
change I didn’t want to turn<br />
down the chance to drive a high<br />
performance sports car, so for<br />
three days I had two cars in my<br />
driveway.<br />
While one of them was spectacular<br />
in terms of speed and<br />
handling, I couldn’t help but be<br />
smitten with the other – a sport<br />
utility vehicle, a Skoda Kodaiq<br />
to be exact, and it was the go-to<br />
vehicle when I had errands to run<br />
or for the daily commute, driving<br />
my wife to and from her place of<br />
work.<br />
The Kodiaq equips itself well<br />
in terms of occupant comfort<br />
and engineering prowess that is a<br />
perfect blend of performance and<br />
economy.<br />
I guess that’s why it was voted<br />
the New Zealand Motoring<br />
Writer’s Guild Car of the Year in<br />
20<strong>17</strong>, a well-deserved title if my<br />
memory serves me well.<br />
The Kodiaq has just had a<br />
facelift, and all that has done<br />
is make a good car even better.<br />
Most of the changes are cosmetic,<br />
while the driveline and mechanicals<br />
are largely as they were when<br />
the model first landed here five<br />
years ago.<br />
There are five models in the<br />
Kodiaq range, it is extensive in<br />
terms of whether you want the<br />
high-performing RS at $79,990<br />
or want to ease yourself into the<br />
line-up at $48,990 for the 1.4-litre<br />
Ambition. The evaluation car<br />
was the 2-litre petrol-powered<br />
TSi Style that lists at $63,990,<br />
bearing in mind that the Government<br />
will want an extra $1093 to<br />
off-set carbon emissions. For my<br />
money I think I’d pay an extra<br />
$11k and go diesel, but that’s not<br />
saying the petrol-powered Style<br />
doesn’t impress.<br />
All of the engines that power<br />
the Kodaiq today are state-ofthe-art,<br />
as you would expect<br />
from a Volkswagen-based source<br />
– Czech Republic’s Skoda is in<br />
partnership with VW and the<br />
Kodiaq is based on the Tiguan<br />
platform.<br />
While its seven seats offer a<br />
point of difference to other SUVs<br />
in the mid-size category, take into<br />
account that there is also fourwheel-drive<br />
in the Kodiaq, and<br />
drive modes that encourage the<br />
odd excursion into the high-country<br />
back roads and trails.<br />
Skoda rates the 1984cc engine<br />
at 132kW and 320Nm. In<br />
true European engine-building<br />
fashion, the turbocharged unit<br />
develops a lot of its power low in<br />
the rev band. Peak power arrives<br />
all of the way from 3900pm to<br />
6000rpm, while maximum torque<br />
comes in at 1400rpm and meets<br />
the point of peak power.<br />
That being the case, there is<br />
TEMPTING: The Skoda Kodiaq is available in five different<br />
specification levels.<br />
SKODA KODIAQ STYLE: Fresh looks but with well proven driveline.<br />
a minuscule amount of power<br />
drop-off, the entire acceleration<br />
and transmission process is seamless.<br />
The latter is a seven-speed<br />
direct shift automatic, and without<br />
the power-robbing characteristics<br />
of a torque converter the<br />
way the power process is developed<br />
is simply extraordinary.<br />
The Kodiaq Style is quick with<br />
an 8.4sec standstill to 100km/h<br />
acceleration time, and it will<br />
scoot through a highway overtake<br />
in 5.1sec – 80-120km/h. The<br />
feel from beneath the throttle<br />
is constantly entertaining and<br />
encouraging.<br />
It is also built in the way where<br />
fuel usage hasn’t been sacrificed.<br />
Skoda also rates it with a 9.3-litre<br />
per 100km combined cycle average.<br />
It will sip fuel at 6.1l/100km<br />
instantaneously at 100km/h with<br />
the engine turning over quite<br />
relaxed at just 1800rpm.<br />
Most of my driving with the<br />
test car was at city speeds, and<br />
even though that doesn’t present<br />
the best fuel economy result, the<br />
dash panel readout was listing<br />
a combined average of over<br />
10l/100km which I thought was<br />
satisfactory.<br />
The suspension is a fully<br />
independent mix of struts and<br />
multiple links with spring and<br />
damper rates well balanced<br />
for comfort and the inevitable<br />
time the Kodiaq will be asked<br />
to traverse undulating ground.<br />
• Price – Skoda Kodiaq Style<br />
TSi, $63,990<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4699mm; width,<br />
2087mm; height, 1685mm<br />
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />
four-wheel-drive,<br />
1984cc, 132kW, 320Nm,<br />
seven-speed direct shift<br />
automatic<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 8.4sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 9.3/100km<br />
While most four-wheel-drives<br />
of this ilk can’t be considered<br />
genuine off-roaders, the Kodiaq<br />
is a capable all-road vehicle, and<br />
the short shingle road journey I<br />
presented it with served to prove<br />
how tidy it is in a loose surface<br />
environment.<br />
Riding on fabulous Pirelli<br />
Scorpion tyres (235/50 x 19in)<br />
there is optimum feedback at the<br />
steering wheel and direct response<br />
to steering input. Because<br />
the Kodiaq isn’t a big vehicle at<br />
just 4.6m, it isn’t carrying a lot of<br />
weight; for a seven-seater it has<br />
strong handling and performance<br />
dynamics.<br />
In terms of on-board equipment<br />
and value fitment, the<br />
Kodiaq at $64k doesn’t miss out<br />
on much, the seats are leather<br />
trimmed and have three-stage<br />
heaters for the cold Canterbury<br />
mornings; the steering wheel,<br />
too, can be heated at will. I<br />
particularly like the umbrella<br />
tube in the front door, complete<br />
with umbrella, that has become a<br />
Skoda hallmark. It’s small features<br />
such as those that show a lot of<br />
thought has gone into manufacture.<br />
The Kodiaq’s seven-seat system<br />
is constructed the way we expect<br />
of the modern SUV. The rear row<br />
of seats fold up from the floor,<br />
and even though they would<br />
only be suitable for short trips<br />
for adults, for youngsters and<br />
the slight of build the rear area is<br />
entirely practical.<br />
Up front the driver has at his<br />
or her command a wealth of<br />
functions and high specification<br />
fitment. The list is way too comprehensive<br />
to detail but to say the<br />
level of specification is far greater<br />
than I would expect to normally<br />
find for this price.<br />
The Kodiaq sits beside a host of<br />
other models in the Skoda lineup.<br />
There are a lot of fresh and<br />
exciting models arriving at the<br />
moment and the brand will lure<br />
buyers with competitive prices<br />
and quality built product.<br />
I’m hoping I can find myself<br />
behind the wheel of some of the<br />
new three-cylinder models that<br />
are landing at the dealerships<br />
now. I figure those fuel misers<br />
will be very popular in these<br />
times where petrol prices are on<br />
the top of everyone’s radar.<br />

SH73/75 Christchurch to Akaroa<br />
SH74 Lyttelton and Banks Peninsula local roads<br />
New safer speed limits<br />
from 2 September <strong>2022</strong><br />
Situations Vacant<br />
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency and Christchurch City Council advise the<br />
new permanent speed limits announced earlier this year will apply from Friday<br />
2 September <strong>2022</strong>, on State Highways 73/75 Christchurch to Akaroa and State<br />
Highway 74, Lyttelton, and some Banks Peninsula local roads.<br />
To help remind drivers of the new speeds there will be temporary electronic signs on the roadside<br />
and local police will be in the area.<br />
The changes include more consistent speeds through Halswell, 60km/h over the Hilltop and<br />
50km/h through Little River to just past Wairewa Marae.<br />
High-risk 100km/h sections of SH75 will reduce to 80km/h.<br />
When speeds are safe for the road, simple mistakes are less likely to end in tragedy.<br />
ADJUSTABLE MASSAGE BED<br />

The setting of the permanent speed limits follows public consultation.<br />
We thank everyone who provided feedback.<br />
You can check the new speed limits and locations online.<br />
