Three mates conquer 

‘Mt Everest’ on bikes 

• By Tina Grumball 

A GROUP of three year 9 boys have done 

the impossible – they’ve cycled up Mt 

Everest. 

Well, they have cycled up Mt Pleasant 

about 22-and-a-half times to raise money 

for Fijian orphanage, Treasure House. 

Luke Jansen and his family visited Fiji 

on a family holiday in 2019, but rather 

than spending their time vacationing, 

they decided to spend several days helping 

out at the orphanage. 

That experience stuck particularly with 

Luke; how grateful the children were 

even when what they changed was so 

small.

HARD YARDS: Kiki Anglem (left), Luke Jansen and Silas Jones only counted the distance they rode 

uphill towards their total, which came to just over Mt Everest’s height from sea level. 

Still time to be sold by Christmas!

report antisocial behaviour 

• By Natalie Pham 

ACTION: Another bid is being made to prevent 

antisocial behaviour in Woolston. 

ANOTHER BID is being 

made to find out how prevalent 

antisocial behaviour is in the 

Woolston shopping area. 

Police and community 

leaders want residents and 

business owners to tell them 

what they are seeing in order 

to plan what actions might 

need to be taken. 

The first meeting was held 

by Banks Peninsula MP Tracey 

McLellan and Woolston 

residents in May this year. 

However, it was destined 

to fail as McLellan said only 

two people turned up for the 

meeting. 

She said the community 

needs to be the driver for 

getting a Neighbourhood 

Policing Team. 

An alcohol ban was among 

other initiatives proposed 

by Woolston residents and 

community leaders to combat 

crime. 

Resident Paul McMahon 

said alcohol-related harm has 

been an ongoing issue in the 

community. 

Last month, the city council 

decided to investigate implementing 

an alcohol ban in 

the area to put a stop to an increase 

in anti-social behaviour 

because of public drinking. 

This came after a petition, 

with more than 170 signatures 

from residents, was in support 

of introducing a liquor ban. 

Photographic evidence of 

alcohol-related incidents were 

also used to support the investigation. 

In August this year, Mc- 

Mahon lodged an appeal 

to the decision granting an 

off-licence to Super Liquor 

HAVE YOUR SAY: Do 

you think Woolston 

Village needs a policing 

team to monitor 

behaviour around 

alcohol? Email natalie. 

pham@starmedia.kiwi 

Woolston on Ferry Rd. 

The store is located in a high 

deprived area, and there are 12 

off-licences within 2km. 

Senior Sergeant Roy Appley 

said there was a lot of online 

discussion about crime and 

incidents, but that was not 

borne out in reported incidents 

to the police. 

The statistics showed 

Woolston had low level issues 

regarding intimidating behaviour 

from rough sleepers, he 

added. 

At this point, Appley said 

the statistics did not warrant a 

policing team in Woolston. 

Police have confirmed there 

are no current plans to set up 

one. 

The second meeting will 

be held at the Woolston 

Community Library at 5pm 

on October 31.

Volunteer brigade opens new fire station 

• By Geoff Sloan 

SUMNER WAS buzzing last week 

as New Zealand’s newest fire 

station opened its doors. 

The Sumner Fire Station was 

badly damaged during the 2011 

earthquakes, but has now been 

completely replaced as part of 

a $78 million redevelopment of 

stations in greater Christchurch, 

by Fire and Emergency New 

Zealand. 

Sumner Volunteer Fire Brigade 

chief fire officer Daryl Sayer said 

they took possession of the facility 

last week. 

“Everyone’s been so excited. 

The crew’s been really keen to 

get in and we’ve are now into 

our second week of being in 

the station and everyone’s 

smiling, they’re really loving 

being here”. 

The $3 million purpose-built 

station will house a fire truck and 

four-wheel-drive support vehicle. 

The modern facility includes 

decontamination facilities, a 

dedicated locker room, workshop 

areas, laundry, office and storage 

spaces. 

Sayer has welcomed the 

upgrades, and points out the area 

the brigade covers, is a lot more 

diverse than the metropolitan 

zones. 

“We do have a lot more hill 

areas of course, we’ve got walking 

tracks and people like to head out 

here in the weekend and go for a 

walk or bike or whatever. And a lot 

of our calls are actually retrieving 

people from those tracks”. 

The last two rebuilds as part 

of FENZ’s redevelopment 

programme are currently under 

way, for volunteer stations in 

Kaiapoi and Kaikoura.

Jetty repair starts 

• By Geoff Sloan 

WORK IS NOW under way to 

rebuild an historic 148-year-old 

jetty at Governors Bay. 

THe ambitious project 

comes after a seven-year 

battle by residents to save their 

historic icon from deteriorating 

further. 

Governors Bay was one of the 

earliest settlements on Lyttelton 

Harbour, and the jetty has been 

a feature of the area since being 

built in 1874. 

However, the wooden structure 

didn’t fare well in the February 

22, 2011 earthquake with 

a post-earthquake inspection 

finding it structurally unsafe. 

Residents were upset with the 

inaction over its restoration, 

rallying together in 2015 to take 

on the big task of repairing it. 

THey formed the Governors 

Bay Jetty Restoration Trust, 

which then approached the city 

council with its plan to restore 

the jetty to its former glory. 

Trust chair Prue Miller says 

the restoration project was a 

challenge. 

“It was it was quite difficult 

because as we were trying to 

go to tender and negotiate with 

council late last year at that time 

when construction costs were 

just rocketing and each week the 

TASK: Governors Bay Jetty Restoration Trust chair Prue 

Miller is happy work to rebuild the jetty has finally started. 

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

costs were changing.” 

However, their persistence 

paid off, and after lengthy 

discussions the city council 

agreed to pay half of the $3.5 

million required to rebuild the 

jetty. 

THat left the other $1.75 

million to be raised by the 

trust. The team are now 

halfway towards their goal, 

but still have another $750,000 

to find. 

THe rebuild of the 300m jetty 

is expected to be completed 

around March next year.

Only the distance 

uphill was counted 

• From page 1 

Luke, of Middleton Grange 

School, rallied some of his mates 

– Kiki Anglem, of Hillview 

Christian School, and Silas Jones, 

of Cashmere High School – to 

complete the Everest Challenge 

over the weekend and raise the 

funds to help the children in the 

orphanage. 

Their aim was to ride the height 

of Mt Everest from sea level – 

8848m. 

What they achieved was riding 

270km horizontally and 8886m 

vertically over 20.5 hours spread 

out over Saturday and Sunday. 

This was the second time they 

attempted the challenge, but the 

first was just for fun and they 

only made it about 7500m. 

They cycled up Mt Pleasant Rd 

to the top, then dropped down 

through Evans Pass down to Lyttelton, 

and then went up again. 

Sometimes, if the road was quiet, 

they would cycle Lyttelton to Evans 

Pass and back to Lyttelton. 

The climbers only counted the 

metres uphill, not downhill. 

They were occasionally joined 

by some of their mates and 

fathers. 

To keep them fed and energised, 

Luke’s father, Greg Jansen, 

put on a barbecue with sausages, 

eggs and hash browns. The boys 

were pretty tired at the end, but 

still chirpy. 

The initial goal was to raise 

$1000, but the boys raised more 

than $2500 – and still counting. 

Luke will be leaving for the 

orphanage tomorrow, both to 

help them out and to give them 

the money that was raised.

The Clarence 

- People and Places of Waiau Toa 

by Tim Fulton 

In The Clarence: People and Places of Waiau Toa, rural journalist Tim Fulton 

explores more than 200 kilometres of mountains, rivers and valleys bordering 

Canterbury and Marlborough. With its headwaters above Lake Tennyson, the 

Clarence has connected people for more than 800 years, from highly organised 

Maori settlements at the Pacific mouth to up-country trails through Molesworth and 

Clarence Reserve. The Clarence is vast, sparsely populated country - a wilderness 

carved out by earthquakes and the thrust of steep mountain ranges. People who 

work this rugged country understand that no one truly ‘breaks in’ the Clarence. It’s 

always a wild place, spiked with danger for those who take it for granted. It’s also 

country that breeds and nurtures incredible characters, like the musterers who keep 

coming to these stations for seasonal work until their legs, hips and backs can 

give no more. For these men and women, the grandeur and solitude of the back 

country is an addiction. The Clarence: People and Places of Waiau Toa captures 

the breathtaking majesty of this rugged region and the epic stories it holds.

Concussion by former rugby international 

Michael Lipman - and Frankie Lipman 

This is the concussion book everyone has to read. Concussion has become one of the biggest 

issues to face contact sports. Only in the past decade have the consequences of repeated head 

knocks become better known and the science is still rapidly catching up. With the discovery of 

CTE or Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy in the brains of deceased football players it is now 

known that the onset of a form of dementia caused by repeated concussions can strike people 

as young as those in their thirties and forties. This is what has happened to Michael Lipman 

a former rugby international who came out in public in 2018 as having had a diagnosis of 

early-onset dementia and probable CTE. For Michael the damage was already done before he 

met Frankie. He was a retired footballer in his late thirties prone to some moments of bizarre 

behaviour and memory loss when they fell in love. Since then they have become parents together 

during a period in which Michael’s challenges have grown and grown. They now face a future of 

living with Michael’s degenerative brain condition and their purpose in writing this book is to give 

a wake-up call to contact sports and to parents with children considering playing them. Their 

book is a mix of personal story and scientific inquiry.

Linwood pool celebrates one year of operation 

TWELVE MONTHS on from 

its opening, Te Pou Toetoe: 

Linwood Pool is proving a big hit 

with the local community. 

More than 135,000 people

about 8000 workouts have been

City council

However, it was not the only

Group on a free walking tour 

with local experts who will 

share stories of the people 

who lived along the pathway 

and explain the ecological 

features of this special part of 

Otautahi. 

We’re excited to embrace the

giving local experts a platform 

to share their knowledge about 

the pathway’s heritage with 

the community. 

We will meet at the Scott

local experts will talk about 

Mt Pleasant, Redcliffs, Moncks 

Bay, and Sumner history. 

We will also hear about the 

ecology of the Estuary and exciting 

discoveries in Redcliffs 

from an archaeologist. 

Staff from our contractor 

Fulton Hogan will give us a 

tour of the progress on the 

Monck’s Bay section of the 

Coastal Pathway. 

We expect to finish the walk 

with refreshments provided 

by the Sumner Community

Festival keeps shining a light on diversity 

A COMMUNITY-based early 

childhood centre in Woolston 

has hosted a cultural festival to 

celebrate its diversity. 

Kimihia Early Learning 

Centre marked its fifth annual 

Diwali festival last week, with 

participation from its pupils and 

the community. 

Centre manager Radhika 

Chakrabarti said the celebration 

provides the children with a 

broad world-view, equipping 

them with a diverse lens to see 

the ever-changing face of the 

community. 

“It also enhances identity and 

culture of children of Indian 

origin and creates a sense of 

belonging for them.” 

Diwali – a festival of light – 

celebrates the triumph of good 

over evil, light over darkness and 

the renewal of life. 

The event included a henna art 

session and a performance by the 

pupils, followed by a traditional 

Indian meal of chickpea curry, 

potato curry, mango lassi, 

basmati rice, naan bread and 

poppadoms. 

A prominent young leader 

in Christchurch’s Indian 

community, Rohan Chakrabarti 

also attended the celebration 

to explain to the pupils the 

significance of Diwali and its 

relevance to modern lives. 

TRADITION: Pupil Lilly Rapata-Page enjoys a mango lassi 

during Kimihia Early Learning Centre’s Diwali celebrations. 

COMMUNITY: Rohan Chakrabarti, a young leader of 

Christchurch’s Indian community, spoke at the festival.

A&P SHOW: Cassels Brewery has come on board as the 

anchor sponsor of the NZ Agricultural Show. 

Cassels Brewery major show sponsor 

THE CANTERBURY A&P 

Association has signed beer 

brewer Cassels Brewery as the 

anchor sponsor for the show 

grounds. 

The deal comes with the local 

association needing to service 

a $1 million loan from the city 

council. 

The 10-year loan was provided 

to the organisers of the NZ 

Agricultural Show following the 

Covid lockdowns and the effects 

on income with no spectators for 

the last two NZ shows. 

Show general manager Tracy 

Ahern said the three-year 

deal with Cassels Brewery is 

crucial for the future of the 

association. 

“Without the support, we 

would be struggling to meet our 

key performance indicators to 

pay back our loan that we owe to 

the council,” said Ahern. 

“We are very excited to have 

them on board . . . a local iconic 

brand like our own.” 

Cassels Brewery will feature 

prominently at the show, the 

biggest week of the year in 

Christchurch, from November 

9-11. 

“They will be on our members’ 

marquee . . . on our corporate 

hosting and they are bringing 

their Cassels bus along, which 

will be exciting,” said Ahern. 

There will also be the Cassels 

Baabaa bar and evening 

entertainment for the first time 

at the show, from Tuesday to 

Friday night. 

“We have got TikiTane, lots of 

bands and music, mechanical 

bull, paint by numbers,” said 

Ahern. 

There will also be a barbecue 

competition. 

While Ahern won’t reveal how 

much the sponsorship deal is 

worth for commercial reasons, 

she says it is “significant”. 

“We can’t rely on one week of 

income a year. 

“Our challenge is to put 

Canterbury A&P Association 

and the show in a far sounder 

financial position by forming 

new relationships with 

businesses that share our vision.” 

Cassels Brewery chief 

executive Marshall Moir says 

they are thrilled to support 

CAPA and to help bring the A&P 

show back to the community. 

“As a family-owned 

Christchurch business, we’re 

really excited by the plans the 

show team have for this year. 

The focus on local, quality and 

craftsmanship are the values that 

are most important to us,” said 

Moir. 

It was only six months ago 

Cassels Brewery lost its company 

founder and developer Alasdair 

Cassels. 

The 71-year-old died in April. 

Cassels is well known for 

his investment in the brewery 

after the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake and after 100 days 

their structurally sound but 

broken brewery was reborn to 

include a bar, café, music venue 

and restaurant.

Your Local MP for Banks Peninsula 

Tracey 

McLellan 

I shared the deep sadness that 

New Zealanders felt at the passing 

of Queen Elizabeth II. The one-off 

public holiday on 26 September was 

an opportunity to reflect as a nation 

on the loss of our longest serving and 

much-loved Sovereign. I did so at the 

Christchurch memorial service – a very 

moving ceremony. 

The long weekend ended on a celebratory 

note. I was lucky enough to attend 

the opening night of the Cashmere 

High School’s production of Jesus 

Christ Superstar. There were some 

stellar performances and my sincere 

congratulations to all the performers, 

Shaunn, Bianca and the rest of the crew. 

Recent non-theatrical school visits 

have included Te Raekura Redcliffs and 

St Anne’s in Woolston, pillars of their 

community with wonderful staff and 

happy students. 

Speaking of happy students, a Labour 

initiative – the free lunches in schools 

programme – has had its two year 

anniversary. To date, the programme has 

provided 63 million healthy lunches to 

220,000 students across New Zealand, 

giving children more energy to learn 

and easing cost pressures on families. 

It makes a real difference in our local 

communities and it’s more than just 

lunch - it’s also about sharing good food 

together and it provides a great lesson 

about community values! 

Rotary Ferrymead gave me a lovely 

welcome recently. It was a good 

opportunity to thank them for 

the fantastic work they do in our 

communities and for me to share what it 

means to represent Banks Peninsula. 

Just down the road at the Mt Pleasant 

Community Centre there is always 

something exciting happening and my 

visits in September were no exception. 

The much anticipated return of Food 

Truck Alley after a winter hiatus did 

not disappoint. Add to this the weekly 

markets and plethora of one-off events 

and it is easy to see why the centre is such 

a thriving space. 

By the time this goes to print I will 

also have held a community clinic for 

Governors Bay and Diamond Harbour 

residents, visited the Governors Bay 

Jetty to get an update on its restoration, 

attended a meeting to discuss what the 

SailGP event in 2023 means for Lyttelton 

and the wider community, and checked 

in on the wonderful work being done 

by Pest Free Banks Peninsula. It’s a busy 

time of year, but it’s also incredibly 

rewarding and I wouldn’t have it any 

other way!

Treasures from the Past: 

A remarkable penguin 

NEWS 15 

PHOTO: GETTY 

Stuffed Emperor penguin in glass and wood case (left). Te Ūaka The Lyttelton Museum 

ref.23.1 https://www.teuaka.org.nz/online-collection/469990 

SAFE IN storage at the Air Force 

Museum of New Zealand, along 

with the rest of Te Ūaka The 

Lyttelton Museum’s collection, 

this taxidermied emperor 

penguin in a glass display 

case was rescued from the old 

museum building prior to its 

demolition in 2011. 

The emperor penguin (Aptenodytes 

forsteri) is the world’s 

largest penguin species – both 

sexes reach a height of 1.1-1.3m 

and a weight of 22-45kg at maturity. 

The remarkable emperor 

is endemic to Antarctica and can 

lay claim to many other unique 

qualities and behaviours. The 

only bird species that breeds 

during the Antarctic winter, 

they are uniquely adapted to the 

extremely harsh environment 

where air temperatures can reach 

-50 deg C, with wind speeds of 

up to 200km/h. 

The emperor’s distinctive ‘tuxedo’ 

of dark and light plumage 

is made up of dense insulating 

feathers, which also provide 

excellent camouflage whilst at 

sea. A layer of subdermal fat up 

to 3cm thick ensures survival 

for months of fasting during the 

breeding season. 

Feeding primarily on Antarctic 

silverfish and also squid and 

krill, emperors are adept divers, 

able to stay underwater for up to 

20 minutes to depths of 500m. 

Along with their streamlined 

bodies, they have several adaptations 

that allow for this – their 

bones are solid to reduce the 

risks of barotrauma and they 

have specially structured haemoglobin 

for low oxygen levels. 

Able to slow their heart rate to 

15-20 beats per minute, they can 

effectively reduce metabolism 

and organ function. 

Emperors are sociable birds 

that congregate in 46 known colonies 

of up to several thousand 

individuals each around the Antarctic 

continent. Most of these 

are located on ‘fast’ ice (attached 

to the land), protected somewhat 

by sea cliffs or icebergs and with 

openings to the sea via polynyas 

– permanent openings in the sea 

ice created by the action of wind 

and currents. These allow essential 

access to feeding grounds 

during the arduous work of 

incubating and rearing future 

generations. 

Breeding commences with 

courtship rituals in March-April; 

females lay a single, thick-shelled 

egg in July-August, before 

returning to sea to feed, having 

exhausted their reserves. Adult 

birds protect their eggs and later 

the hatched chicks from the 

freezing ground by holding them 

on top of their broad feet against 

a brood patch of featherless skin, 

which wraps the precious cargo. 

The transfer of egg from female 

to male is a difficult operation 

and many eggs are lost due to 

cracking or freezing on the 

ground. 

If the crucial transfer is successful, 

the male will protect the 

egg for around 65 days until it 

hatches. Huddling with other 

males in a tight circle, backs to 

the ferocious wind, the group 

shuffle in a spiralling movement 

sometimes referred to as a turtle 

formation, allowing all an opportunity 

at the warmest inner 

positions. 

Once hatched, chicks are fed 

on the males’ crop milk for fourto-seven 

days until the females 

return from the sea – by this 

stage the males weigh around 

23kg, having lost nearly half 

their body weight. The journey 

to and from feeding grounds can 

cover distances of 50-120km. 

Until the chicks fledge in December, 

the pair will take turns 

at sea and in the colony, calling 

with complex vocalisations for 

their mate and fluffy silvery-grey 

chick. If a chick is orphaned it 

has no chance of survival; in 

addition, due to predation by 

Southern giant petrels and the 

opportunism of the south polar 

skua, less than 20 per cent of 

chicks survive their first year of 

life. 

If an emperor gains maturity 

and survives attack by leopard 

seal or orca, a typical lifespan is 

20 years. In 2009, the total population 

was estimated at around 

595,000 adult birds. The bird is 

currently under consideration 

for inclusion under the US Endangered 

Species Act, as it is at 

risk due to the effects of climate 

change on food sources, habitat 

destruction and, increasingly, the 

impact of Antarctic tourism. 

Apsley Cherry-Garrard, who 

made a near-fatal journey from 

Cape Evans to Cape Crozier in 

the depths of winter 1911 with 

Edward Wilson and Henry 

Bowers, to collect emperor 

penguin eggs for scientific 

purposes, wrote in 1922: ‘Take 

it all in all, I do not believe 

anybody on earth has a worse 

time than an emperor penguin’.

LAUNCHING October 7, Funlab is 

bringing its all-immersive fun-zones, 

Archie Brothers Cirque Electriq and 

Holey Moley Golf Club, down to 

Christchurch for its biggest and best 

funtainment space yet. 

Located in Christchurch’s EntX 

complex, just below Hoyts, Archie 

Brothers Cirque Electriq and Holey Moley 

Golf Club are the two new kids on the 

block – boasting mind-blowing arcade 

games, crazy golf courses and eight lanes 

of bowling, all jam-packed into one epic 

precinct. 

FunLab chief executive Michael 

Schreiber says the decision to launch 

in Christchurch was a response to the 

vibrant rejuvenation of the city centre. 

“When choosing where to next launch 


Holey Moley in New Zealand, we were 

excited by Christchurch as a city that is 

thriving in revitalised growth – we’re 

thrilled that our two hit entertainment 

spaces are set to elevate and add 

excitement to EntX in the city centre,” he 

says. 

The hybrid opening is part of a relaunch 

of EntX Christchurch, the entertainment 

complex situated in the heart of the city 

centre, where Mackersy Property director 

of investment and transactions Adam 

Copland is excited to see the space come 

alive. 

FUNLAB: Archie Brothers Cirque Electriq and Holey Moley Golf Club are 

opening in EntX this Friday. 

“We’re thrilled to be relaunching 

EntX and hit the ground running with 

the opening of Archie Brothers Cirque 

Electriq and Holey Moley. This space is 

a vibrant addition to the EntX precinct 

and a huge win for the Christchurch 

community. 

“We can’t wait to see more locals 

venturing into the city to experience all 

the food and entertainment excitement 

that EntX and the city centre has to offer” 

Copland says. 


Holey Moley welcome reservations for 

all occasions, including wild work dos, 

brilliant birthday parties, unforgettable 

Christmas functions and more – book 

early to avoid disappointment.

GOOD TO GO: Fish & Game New Zealand ranger Chris Aldous (left), checks 

the licences of Warren Mackie, Russell Mackay and Neil Goldie at Harts 

Creek.

Anglers out in force 

on opening day 

CANTERBURY anglers 

were out in force on 

Saturday to fish the first day 

of the new season. 

October 1 is always the 

start of the new season, and 

this year it fell on a Saturday 

and was also the first 

day of the school holidays. 

This made opening day in 

the region a popular family 

affair in many instances. 

Fish & Game New 

Zealand rangers were out 

checking compliance and 

reported a lot of anglers 

from the top of the Lewis 

Pass all the way down to the 

Waitaki River. 

The weather was great 

for fishing, frosty but clear, 

throughout the region and 

many anglers travelled 

hours to fish their favourite 

spots. 

Canterbury angler Neil 

Goldie braved the early 

morning frost to fish the 

Waimakariri River mouth. 

Trying first for a sea-run 

salmon, Goldie said: “It’s a 

little bit early for a salmon, but 

with warmer temperatures 

at sea in summer, there’s a 

chance of a salmon taking 

advantage of the cooler waters 

now to make a run. 

“With it being the second 

year of the sea-run salmon 

season bag limit and the 

harvest card, you have to 

selectively harvest your 

salmon, so fishing in cooler 

waters will be great for the 

fish if you need to release it. 

“The sea-run salmon 

fishery has moved to more 

of a sports fishery than a 

harvest fishery as anglers 

do their bit to help the 

recovery of the fishery,” 

Goldie said. 

Trout anglers in the Te 

Waihora/Lake Ellesmere 

area were out in numbers. 

The scenic Harts Creek 

was popular as the day progressed, 

with many anglers

trying to tempt the elusive 

fish inhabiting the creek. 

With Te Waihora/Lake 

Ellesmere open to the sea 

at the moment, the Halswell, 

L2, Selwyn Rivers and 

Harts Creek were enticing 

for many sea-run trout that 

have entered the lake, making 

the area a popular spot 

for anglers. 

Central South Island 

Fish & Game officer Nicola 

Dellaway spent her first day 

on the job with colleagues 

checking licences on Lake 

Opuha, South Canterbury. 

Forty anglers were 

checked, mostly boat anglers 

but a few shore-based. 

This was a typical number 

for this popular opening 

day destination, with many 

travelling from as far as 

Dunedin and Christchurch. 

The fishing was excellent, 

with most anglers catching 

two or three brown or 

rainbow trout for the dinner 

table. 

Below State Highway 1 at 

the Opihi River, father and 

son anglers, Stephen and 

Alfie Henly, went out on an 

opening day mission. 

In spite of the frosty start, 

they both had luck, catching 

and releasing some trout 

caught on soft-bait lures. 

Jet boat-based fishing is 

a tradition on the Waitaki 

River for opening, and 

there were at least 18 boats 

on the river in the morning.

ARA INSTITUTE OF CANTERBURY 

Pasifika mum shows 

how it’s done 

Not so long ago, Epe Valavala was a 

full-time, stay-at-home mum. Now, she’s 

the proud recipient of a business degree 

specialising in human resources and on a 

mission to get more Pacific people into the 

corporate world. 

Epe’s accomplishment provides an 

inspirational example — for her family, the 

Pasifika community and mature students — 

of what’s possible through study. 

When Epe first visited Ara Institute 

of Canterbury to enquire about its 

study options, she literally had a baby 

on her hip and needed to know if study 

would fit around her lengthy list of daily 

responsibilities. “I found out that the 

scheduling at Ara worked perfectly for me 

as a parent and I wouldn’t need to try to 

attend one-hour, lecture-style classes,” she 

says. 

Epe admits that she was apprehensive 

about the thought of being a mature student 

among lots of young adults but discovered 

she needn’t have worried. “The smaller 

class sizes and the atmosphere at Ara let me 

contribute my practical life experience to 

the mix.” 

Epe’s study experience was a revelation 

in many ways. “From the classroom 

experience to group work, presentations 

and sleepless nights, it’s showed me my 

worth, my capability and reminded me 

of my purpose in life and the many great 

things I want to achieve.” 

One of those things is diving deeper 

into human resources. “I want to be 

able to weave in some more cultural and 

sustainable practices because I believe if 

those things are taught at your workplace, 

they change the way you work, your 

homelife and the way you teach your 

children.” 

Ultimately, Epe wants see more Pasifika 

people in corporate roles. “Seeing more 

people who look like us in the corporate 

world will encourage others to get 

into business and it will increase our 

independence. It will also open more 

doors for our people. That’s why I chose to 

study business, and to specialise in human 

resources.” 

Epe “100%” encourages all single mums 

out there to make the sacrifices needed 

to study. “It’s hard work, but with a bit of 

dedication it can be done, and at Ara you’re 

surrounded by the right people, and you’re 

well supported.”

study options, visit ara.ac.nz or call

Big push by Kia in EV market 

THERE’S A BATTLE raging in 

the new car market that I’m very 

interested in, and it’s not just about 

the total sales figures. 

You see, there’s a battle within a 

battle and it is in the fully electric 

vehicle segment, those companies 

that have EVs are fighting amongst 

each other for market share. 

Of course, the winners will 

always be the companies that have 

affordable cars for the mainstream 

– Peugeot, MG and newcomer 

BYD will fall into that category. 

However, you can’t discount the 

models landing here from South 

Korea, Hyundai and Kia are both 

well established in the EV market 

and new models are landing on a 

regular basis. 

Kia has just introduced a 

newcomer and it is simply badged 

EV6, it’s part of a series of models 

that will cover a broad spectrum 

of the EV market. The EV6 isn’t 

mainstream, its price tag from 

$72,990 won’t lure Joe Average, 

in fact the range-topping EV6 is 

priced at $109,990. However, if you 

are determined to buy into the EV6 

there are two variants that list from 

under $80k, and that will net you a 

$5750 New Zealand Government 

Clean Car Programme rebate. The 

remaining three models in the lineup 

are priced at $78,990, $94,990 

and $106,990. 

That’s quite an extensive range, 

and if you are wondering where the 

cost differences lie, the two entry 

models have battery capacities of 

58kW and 77.4kW respectively and 

are rear-wheel-drive only, the rest 

have the high power batteries and 

have drive to all four corners, the 

four-wheel-drive models utilising 

two electric motors. 

The EV6 can be described as a 

crossover between sedan and a sport 

utility vehicle, its design is spherical 

and all enveloping, much like a 

sedan, but with its height of 1.5m it 

is tall and fits the SUV bracket. 

All models have five seats only, 

but they share a wealth of internal 

space and comfort is high. The 

EV6 is also minimalistic in its 

layout. Don’t get me wrong, it has 

a wealth of specification, yet it’s 

all manipulated by simple dial 

and push-button controls, you 

may expect there to be a lot of 

functions, but many of those that 

would ordinarily be guided by 

switches can be made electronically 

through one of the central display 

screens. The EV6 has a high 

graphic percentage, and the logic 

behind the touch surfaces is deep 

yet intuitive. 

I find it interesting that both 

Kia and Hyundai offer the varying 

power supplies for their flagship 

electric models, the difference is 

not just extra power on tap, but the 

high output versions will take you 

BOLD: The Kia EV6 has styling that complements the 

technology inside and underneath the bonnet. 

KIA EV6: Range of electric models that include rear-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive. Prices 

start at $72,990 

further. 

The evaluation car was the 

range-topper, and it is good for 

almost 500km driving distance if 

conditions are conducive to loadfree 

motoring. If you feel more 

comfortable topping up along the 

way the EV6 will recharge from 

10 to 80 per cent in around 18min 

using a designated charge port. 

My charging experience 

consisted only of using the 

domestic supply on my property. 

Under those conditions the charge 

time is quite lengthy – an overnight 

charge will only net you a half tank, 

so to speak. On a more positive 

note, I used the EV6 as many 

drivers would, when parked up 

hook into the household supply 

and just let it continually top up. 

If found that on a standard suburb 

to city commute it was more than 

adequate to keep range plentiful. 

What’s more, it comes with 

decent charge cable length – almost 

6m which meant it was long 

enough for my unique situation. 

The type 2 to type 2 cable (the one 

for accessing charge ports) is also 

quite lengthy, which means you 

don’t have to get too close to the 

structure and risk bumping into 

it like I saw just recently when a 

driver of a Tesla got too close. 

As you would expect, the EV6 

drives smoothly and quietly, there 

• Price – Kia EV6 GT-Line 

AWD, $112,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4635mm; width, 

1890mm; height, 

1605mm 

• Configuration – Two 

electric motors, fourwheel-drive, 

225kW, 

605Nm, automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 5.2sec 

are minor extraneous noises such 

as wind and a slight roar off the 

big tyres (255/45 x 20in), but its 

movement is very hushed and I 

guess that’s what you would want 

and expect when buying an electric 

vehicle. 

Along with a lot of innercity 

running around, I took the 

evaluation car west towards 

Darfield, returning via Burnham 

and Lincoln. It is an adept highway 

cruiser, it’s also very swift with a 

standstill to 100km time of 5.2sec, 

and it will lunge through a highway 

overtake in 4.2sec (80-120km/h). 

Those figures come from the 

benefit of huge power figures – 

225kW and over 600Nm of torque. 

Not only is the massive amount 

of torque something that supplies 

that urgency, the EV6 also drives 

like a sports car. It is firmish in the 

suspension which always augurs 

well when quick corners are 

presented. 

The steering loads up to provide 

solid off-centre support with 

plenty of feedback coming off the 

front tyres. That’s the kind of feel 

I like, the EV6 is fully involving 

and covers distance like a sports 

car. That is one of the benefits of 

electric power, there’s no point 

anywhere where acceleration isn’t 

met with urgency. Of course, you 

don’t have to drive the EV6 in sport 

mode, it’s also happy plying the city 

commute or every other day-to-day 

dawdle. 

There’s no doubt Kia is keen 

to impress with its electric-only 

line-up. The EV6 is futuristic, 

yet it carries the electric vehicle 

ingredients that will lure those who 

don’t see fossil fuel in the future 

of personal transport. How it all 

plays out is something that I’ll 

continue to keep an eye on, and 

it’s interesting how the raft of 

new electric vehicles are pitched 

in terms of price, many are sitting 

just below the 80k threshold 

whereby owners can capitalise on 

the rebate. 

We are certainly in for some 

exciting times ahead, and Kia will 

no doubt be a big part of how 

future direction shapes up.

Where Memories are Made 

40 Bay View Road, Moncks Bay/Redcliffs 

4 bedrooms, 2 living, 2 bathrooms, 2 car garaging 

Superbly refined and sympathetically modernised, this charming 1920s bungalow 

merges family functionality with contemporary finesse to offer a supreme lifestyle 

in Moncks Bay. 

Cherished by the vendors for 20 years, they have relished raising their children in 

this sought-after neighbourhood that lies so close to Sumner Beach. 

Immaculately presented, the home retains much of its original character in the 

form of lead lights and timber detailing, while a large-scale renovation in 2014 

comprehensively attended to the complexities of modern living. 

Not only was the kitchen modernised, but a tastefully executed extension 

introduced a second living zone, a family bathroom, a fully equipped master suite 

and a deck to the rear of the property, ensuring it could comfortably accommodate 

growing families. The established garden frames the home beautifully. 

This property will undoubtedly attract high levels of interest, and prospective 

buyers should act with haste.
