Dad, daughter set sail for sister city<br />
PHOTO: JOHN COSGROVE<br />
• By John Cosgrove<br />
A FATHER and daughter are<br />
about to embark on a trip for the<br />
50th-anniversary celebration<br />
of Christchurch’s sister city<br />
relationship with Kurashiki<br />
City in Japan. But there will<br />
be no comfortable plane seat<br />
for Andrew McGeorge and<br />
daughter Elizabeth (inset). They<br />
are going by yacht. Weather<br />
permitting the 10,900km voyage<br />
will take them two and a half<br />
months.<br />
They leave Christchurch for<br />
Picton later this month, then it<br />
is onto Whangarei before setting<br />
off in earnest for Japan via<br />
Fiji, Guam, Ogasawara (Bonin<br />
Islands) for the June celebrations.<br />
The voyage will take two and<br />
a half months.<br />
The Seacraft6 37-foot Gannet<br />
is part of a four vessel sister<br />
city 50th anniversary yacht<br />
rally McGeorge has organised.<br />
The other boats are from New<br />
Zealand and Australia, but his is<br />
the only one from Christchurch.<br />

Sustainability<br />
is crucial to<br />
saving Earth<br />
ADVERTISING<br />
As the effects of growth in population<br />
and economic activity coupled with the<br />
rising demand for resources and the<br />
consequent environmental impacts that<br />
are changing planet Earth, it is vital we<br />
start living more sustainably.<br />
This means meeting our own needs<br />
without compromising the future<br />
generations’ ability to meet their needs<br />
as well.<br />
And living sustainably can start at<br />
home. We can do this by 1) reducing,<br />
re-using and recycling; 2.) making wise<br />
purchasing decisions; 3) growing our<br />
own food.<br />
Other steps we can take include<br />
shopping locally, avoiding plastics,<br />
making our own compost, planting trees,<br />
and eating less meat.<br />
We can teach our children about<br />
sustainability by involving them in<br />
growing a veggie garden at home and<br />
taking them to farmers’ markets to<br />
talk to growers about organic growing<br />
practices.<br />
Energy efficiency is another important<br />
aspect of sustainability we can easily<br />
introduce into our lifestyles with energyefficient<br />
appliances, adequate insulation,<br />
solar water heating, solar photovoltaics<br />
for power and water catchment systems.<br />
Of course, a major result of the impact<br />
our lifestyles has made on the planet<br />
is climate change brought about by<br />
carbon emissions. Transport is the<br />
second largest and fastest growing<br />
greenhouse gas emissions contributor.<br />
In this area too, we can make a<br />
meaningful contribution by reducing our<br />
dependance on petrol/diesel vehicles.<br />
Trading in your petrol/diesel vehicles<br />
for a hybrid or electric vehicle, using<br />
public transport where possible, biking<br />
or walking are all sustainable transport<br />
options to consider.<br />
Sustainability is a long-term plan to save<br />
our planet and there will be much more<br />
about it on display at the Sustainability<br />
EXPO being held at the Rolleston<br />
Community Centre on <strong>January</strong> 21-22.<br />
Anything from worm farming to the<br />
latest in electric transport, we hope to<br />
see you there.<br />

It takes a village to save penguins<br />
A CONSERVATION trust<br />
and eco-tourism business have<br />
welcomed the work done by<br />
Diana Isaac Retirement Village<br />
residents to help safeguard a<br />
precious penguin colony on<br />
Banks Peninsula.<br />
Both the Helps Pōhatu<br />
Conservation Trust and Pōhatu<br />
Penguins work closely on<br />
removing predators from the<br />
peninsula to help maintain little<br />
penguin.<br />
The residents from the<br />
retirement village in Mairehau<br />
have been making the especiallydesigned<br />
wooden trap housings<br />
to catch pests, such as stoats<br />
and rats. The white-flippered<br />
penguins nest at Flea Bay near<br />
Akaroa, where predator control<br />
has been ongoing for the last 40<br />
years.<br />
Geraldine Guillemot-Peacock<br />
helps maintain the traps on<br />
behalf of the trust and Pōhatu<br />
Penguins, which runs wildlife<br />
and peninsula tours. Recently,<br />
a group of residents from the<br />
Diana Isaac village, including<br />
Bruce Gray, Gary Archbold,<br />
Norm Reid and Brian Hill<br />
handed more than 25 traps to<br />
Guillemot-Peacock.<br />

property. Stoats are the worst<br />
pest. Other introduced species<br />
like rats, hedgehogs, cats, ferrets,<br />
unsupervised dogs as well as<br />
human disturbances also impact<br />
and have led to a decrease in<br />
penguin numbers. At one point<br />
the colonies around the Banks<br />
Peninsula were declining at an<br />
alarming rate and some have<br />
disappeared altogether.<br />
There were 182 traps, split<br />
Back to<br />
School<br />
ShoeS<br />
across 10 trap lines, within the<br />
property that stretches hundreds<br />
of metres inland.<br />
These traps are checked<br />
weekly for the pests as well as for<br />
any required maintenance, so<br />
damaged traps can be repaired<br />
and gaps in the plan can be<br />
filled.<br />
“We know, for example, stoats<br />
like going near fence lines…<br />
Some of the traps are in the bush,<br />
higher out of the (immediate)<br />
penguin colony, some are within<br />
the penguin colony,” Guillemot-<br />
Peacock said.<br />
“It’s always nice to have good<br />
traps that work well.”<br />
Last year there was a slide<br />
show and presentation to teach<br />
Diana Isaac residents about the<br />
penguins and how they need to<br />
be protected from such predators.<br />
Bruce, Gary, Norm and Brian are<br />
thankful of the help they have<br />
received from others in a wider<br />
project, particularly from a team<br />
of builders at Charles Upham<br />
village, led by resident Lynn<br />
Andrews.<br />
Lynn, a former watchmaker,<br />
has been helping ensure the<br />
wooden trap housings are built<br />
to specification for conservation<br />
groups.<br />
Given the staged purchase<br />
and delivery of wood and other<br />
screws and partitions for the<br />
traps, the assembly process has<br />
been speedy and well executed,<br />

Give booze ban a chance – McMahon<br />
• By Natalie Pham<br />
A KEY DRIVER of the Woolston<br />
liquor ban is surprised and<br />
concerned businesses have little<br />
faith in the police to enforce it.<br />
Businesses on Ferry Rd say<br />
they have contacted police many<br />
times since the ban came into<br />
force in December, but they have<br />
seen little action.<br />
Waitai Coastal-Burwood-<br />
Linwood chair Paul McMahon<br />
said he would like to hear more<br />
from the community so he can<br />
discuss with police and see what<br />
the issues might be.<br />
He said police cannot be<br />
everywhere at once.<br />
“That being said, they’re<br />
(police) very supportive of the<br />
ban. We can work together as a<br />
community to make sure that it’s<br />
effective.<br />
“In my role as chair of the<br />
community board, I will be<br />
having regular catch up with<br />
police constables.”<br />
McMahon said it is still<br />
early days for the ban and<br />
he recommended people to<br />
continue reporting breaches.<br />
The trial ban is in place for six<br />
months.<br />
“It relies on both people<br />
reporting at the time and the<br />
police’s response... There’s<br />
no quick fixer to this kind of<br />
[issues],” he said.<br />
McMahon was elected to the<br />
community board in the local<br />
body elections in October. He<br />
had been a vocal voice in the<br />
Woolston community about<br />
alcohol-related issues.<br />
Liquorland manager Evan<br />
Baker said he and his colleagues<br />
phoned police nine times and<br />
sent an additional email to 105<br />
about booze ban breaches in the<br />
week after Christmas.<br />
Over the weekend, he<br />
and another member of the<br />
community actively contacted<br />
Crime Stoppers to move on some<br />
“streeties.”<br />
While they have moved on<br />
from outside the Red Cross<br />
Woolston shop and Discount<br />
Vapor Woolston, Baker said they<br />
are now sitting in front of the<br />
community library.<br />
City councillors and<br />
community board members<br />
needed to “get out of their cars<br />
and go for a walk,” he said.<br />
“Go and have a look to see<br />
what is actually going on and<br />
actually get more involved with<br />
the community.”<br />
Woolston Book Stationery &<br />
Haberdashery & Giftware shop<br />
owner Rose, who did not want<br />
to have her last name published<br />
for fear of her safety, agreed with<br />
Baker.<br />
She had reported to the<br />
police three times after seeing<br />
people sitting on the bench<br />
outside her shop and drinking<br />
alcohol. However, Rose said<br />
LIQUOR BAN: Waitai<br />
Coastal-Burwood-Linwood<br />
Community Board chair<br />
Paul McMahon (left) says<br />
people need to keep<br />
reporting breaches to<br />
police.<br />
police never arrived.<br />
“I know other people, who also<br />
reported to the police. The guy in<br />
the Red Cross shop said he rang<br />
a day five times, but got no reply.<br />
“It’s almost like, ‘It’s Woolston.<br />
Don’t worry about it. It’s a low<br />
socioeconomic area.’”<br />
She had owned the shop fro<br />
26 years. The past year had been<br />
“shocking”.<br />
“The alcohol, drugs and<br />
everything. The place is going<br />
wreck and ruin.”<br />
Rose also said many of her<br />
customers, who are mainly<br />
elderly, were concerned about<br />
people drinking in public.<br />

Weather will be unpredictable<br />
•From page 1<br />
“Preparations for this trip<br />
began in 2016 with a nine-month<br />
refit at our house in Cashmere,<br />
including rigging, electrical, mechanical<br />
and plumbing upgrades,<br />
and this work has carried on to<br />
this day; it’s a boat so it needs a<br />
lot of upkeep,” said McGeorge.<br />
The original owners of the<br />
Gannet had salied around the<br />
world in it,<br />
McGeorge said they were they<br />
are travelling soon even though<br />
the celebrations are not till November<br />
as they want to avoid the<br />
worst of Japan’s typhoon season.<br />
“Our first stop is Fiji, where we<br />
can repair various things before<br />
the one-month-long voyage to<br />
Guam.”<br />
They would avoid the early<br />
Japanese typhoon season.<br />
Guam would provide a place<br />
to stop, resupply and watch the<br />
weather before they undertake<br />
the final push to Ogasawara, an<br />
island group about 1000 kilometres<br />
directly south of Tokyo.<br />
From there, it’s about a week’s<br />
sailing to mainland Japan.<br />
Once they reach Japan, three of<br />
the boats will cruise Japan, while<br />
one will carry onto the Aleutian<br />
Islands and Alaska.<br />
Said McGeorge: “We pretty<br />
much stay there until the typhoon<br />
season is over. The earliest<br />
I could leave Japan for the return<br />
trip home would be December<br />
<strong>2023</strong> but more likely going to be<br />
February or March of 2024.”<br />
McGeorge has been sailing<br />
since he was seven and has sailed<br />
all around New Zealand and up<br />
into the Pacific islands, but he is<br />
under no illusions this will be a<br />
hard trip for him and Elizabth,<br />
who has just completed her PhD.<br />
“My wife Kate, jokingly says<br />
that all the snack food will be<br />
gone in the first few days! But<br />
I know things will break and<br />
although we carry lots of parts<br />
and tools (about 500kg) we can’t<br />
cover everything so there is<br />
redundancy built in everywhere<br />
to the systems. “You have to keep<br />
asking yourself, ‘if this breaks,<br />
can I fix it or do without it’.”<br />
Recent cruising guides state the<br />
established trade wind routes are<br />
now less reliable and weather is<br />
less predictable.<br />
“While we are hoping for<br />
tailwinds as predicted, we may be<br />
bashing our way into headwinds<br />
and seas. The Doldrums near the<br />
equator, also vary greatly and we<br />
may have to motor for up to 10<br />
days as we cross the equator, plus<br />
it will be hot.”<br />
The Gannet carries only 300<br />
litres of water, but McGeorge said<br />
they can collect rainwater.<br />
“There will be no long showers,<br />
and in 37 feet, privacy is an illusion.<br />
Once in the tropics, keeping<br />
out of the sun and the air flowing<br />
through the cabin will be a priority.<br />
Our initial watch keeping will<br />
be four hours on, four hours off. “<br />
“Gannet has solar panels and<br />
a wind generator powering her<br />
electrics, but if it is rough, everything<br />
becomes hard work; I once<br />
had to lie down just to brush my<br />
teeth,” he said.<br />
McGeorge has a long association<br />
with Kurashiki. he travelle<br />
dthere as a 17-year-old.<br />
After university in Christchurch,<br />
he returned under the JET<br />
programme for English tutoring<br />
at schools where he met his wife<br />
Kate, who was from Kurashiki’s<br />
American sister city, Kansas City.<br />
“Our children were born in<br />
Kurashiki, we lived there for 10<br />
years. We owe much to the sister<br />
city relationship and the 50th<br />

Makes 16<br />
Ingredients<br />
Melted butter for the pan<br />
1½ cups salted roasted<br />
cashews (170g)<br />
14 Tbsp unsalted butter<br />
(<strong>19</strong>8g), divided<br />
1¼ cups packed light<br />
brown sugar (275g),<br />
divided<br />
2 large eggs (100g), cold<br />
from the refrigerator<br />
1 Tbsp vanilla extract<br />
1 cup all-purpose flour<br />
(135g)<br />
1 tsp Diamond Crystal<br />
kosher salt or ½ teaspoon<br />
Morton kosher salt Flaky<br />
sea salt (optional)<br />
Special equipment needed:<br />
20 x 20cm (8 × 8-inch)<br />
baking pan<br />
Directions<br />
Preheat the oven and<br />
prepare the pan. Arrange<br />
an oven rack in the centre<br />
position and preheat the<br />
oven to 80 deg C. Line a<br />
20 x 20cm baking pan,<br />
preferably metal, with foil,<br />
pressing it into the corners<br />
and smoothing it across the<br />
bottom and up the sides.<br />
Brush the bottom and sides<br />
of the foil with a thin layer<br />
of melted butter and set the<br />
pan aside.<br />
Try this optional upgrade<br />
if your salted roasted<br />
cashews are on the paler<br />
side – toast them to further<br />
develop the flavour. Place<br />
the nuts on a sheet pan<br />
and toast until they’re deep<br />
golden brown and fragrant,<br />
7-10 minutes, tossing halfway<br />
through. Let them cool<br />
completely.<br />
Chop the cashews. Place<br />
the cashews on a cutting<br />
board and chop until the<br />
largest pieces are about the<br />
size of a pea. Set aside.<br />
Make the toffee-covered<br />
cashews. Line a small sheet<br />
pan with a silicone baking<br />
mat or parchment and set it<br />
next to the stove. Combine<br />
4 Tbsp (57g) of the butter,<br />
¼ cup (55g) of the brown<br />
sugar, and 2 Tbsp (28g)<br />
water in a medium saucepan.<br />
Set the saucepan over<br />
medium heat and bring<br />
to a boil, stirring with a<br />
heatproof flexible spatula to<br />
melt the butter and dissolve<br />
the sugar. Once the mixture<br />
is boiling, stir in the<br />
chopped cashews and cook,<br />
stirring constantly, until the<br />
nuts are completely coated<br />
and there’s no liquid toffee<br />
oozing across the bottom<br />
of the saucepan - about 5<br />
minutes.<br />
Watch for potential<br />
pitfalls. If the toffee mixture<br />
heats too quickly or isn’t<br />
stirred constantly, the butter<br />
may separate out and pool<br />
in the saucepan. If this happens,<br />
remove the saucepan<br />
from the heat, add 1 Tbsp<br />
of water, and stir vigorously<br />
to dissolve some of the toffee<br />
and bring the mixture<br />
back together. Return the<br />
saucepan to the heat and<br />
continue to cook.<br />
Cool the toffee cashews.<br />
Scrape the cashew mixture<br />
out on to the prepared sheet<br />
pan and spread it into a<br />
thin slab with the spatula,<br />
then set aside to cool.<br />
Return the saucepan to the<br />
stove (no need to wash it).<br />
Make the batter. Add the<br />
remaining 10 Tbsp (142g)<br />
butter to the reserved<br />
saucepan and melt it over<br />
low heat. Scrape the melted<br />
butter into a large bowl.<br />
Add the remaining 1 cup<br />
(220g) brown sugar and<br />
whisk vigorously until the<br />
mixture is smooth, thick,<br />
and satiny, about 30 seconds.<br />
Add the eggs one at a<br />
time, whisking thoroughly<br />
after each addition, then<br />
continue to whisk until<br />
the mixture is completely<br />
smooth and slightly pale,<br />
about 30 seconds. Whisk<br />
in the vanilla, then add the<br />
flour and kosher salt and<br />
whisk vigorously until the<br />
batter is very smooth and<br />
thick, about 30 seconds.<br />
Nutella rice krispie<br />
slice<br />
Makes 18<br />
Ingredients<br />
50g butter<br />
225g white marshmallows<br />
325g Nutella<br />
175g rice bubbles<br />
300g white chocolate<br />
Directions<br />
Line a 28 x 18cm slice<br />
tin with baking paper.<br />
Place the butter and<br />
marshmallows in a large<br />
saucepan and stir over<br />
a low heat until melted.<br />
Remove from the heat, add<br />
175g of the Nutella and stir<br />
until smooth.<br />
Add the rice bubbles and<br />
mix well. Use slightly wet<br />
hands to press the mixture<br />
firmly into the prepared<br />
slice tin.<br />
Melt the white chocolate<br />
in a bowl set over a pan of<br />
simmering water or in short<br />
bursts in a microwave,<br />
stirring between bursts. In<br />
a separate bowl, slightly<br />
melt the remaining 150g<br />
of Nutella. Pour the two<br />
mixtures over the base and<br />
swirl with a skewer or fork<br />
to get a marbled effect.<br />
Refrigerate until set<br />
before serving.

Politics Aotearoa: political parties<br />

Quentin Findlay<br />
Did you know that there were no<br />
organised parties prior to 1890? Before<br />
“the NZ Labour party” there were several<br />
labour parties. Or that local body elections<br />
in Christchurch used proportional<br />
representation four times before WW2.<br />
Parliamentary democracy in Aotearoa<br />
has been a recent development, with<br />
considerable changes in the electoral<br />
process and parliamentary parties from<br />

Open government: What does this<br />

Open government is vital in a world<br />
on the brink of ecological and climate<br />
catastrophe. This talk, followed by<br />
discussion, examines why this is the case,<br />
and how to strengthen our democracy<br />
through more open government. Countries<br />
are grappling with open government or<br />
shrinking democratic ideals worldwide,<br />
in Aotearoa we need to safeguard our<br />
future through progressing toward open<br />
government. Andrew is Senior Associate,<br />

Villa Maria College<br />
Villa Maria College is a state integrated<br />
Catholic secondary school for girls in Years<br />
7 – 13. The College was opened by the<br />
Sisters of Mercy in <strong>19</strong>18 and has grown to<br />
accommodate more than 800 students within<br />
its beautiful grounds. The spirit of Mercy<br />
is the very heart of our College and there<br />
is an emphasis on service to others and the<br />
community. Girls are educated in Catholic<br />
teachings and this Catholic character is<br />
evident throughout the College.<br />
Our Mission is to: “Empower each young<br />
woman to determine her potential, live<br />
Gospel values, confidently embrace life-long<br />
learning and as a Mercy woman be inspired to<br />
make a difference”.<br />
The education Villa Maria College offers<br />
is of the highest quality and we are proud of<br />
our excellent academic results. Rangatahi<br />
are encouraged towards individual goals and<br />
This term, Merrin School opened<br />
our amazing new hall, Hīnātore! It’s got<br />

academic programme is combined with<br />
varied co-curricular activities, encompassing<br />
sport, cultural and musical programmes.<br />
Pastoral care is a priority at the College,<br />
ensuring all students are supported<br />
throughout their schooling. Villa<br />
Maria College is an environment that is<br />
compassionate and engaging, allowing our<br />
girls to participate fully in all aspects of<br />
College life.<br />
With a full and vibrant College experience,<br />
balancing academic study and the many cocurricular<br />

a great extension to the school, and we hope<br />

Year 9 at Marian College<br />
Seyara De Silva began her Marian College<br />
journey last year as a Year 9 student. She shares<br />
some insight as to what incoming students can<br />
expect.<br />
My introduction to Marian probably started<br />
in the same way as you – sitting in the seats with<br />
my parents during Open Day, nervous about my<br />
next step in school life – high school.<br />
I’m proud to say Marian has provided an<br />
extremely smooth transition from intermediate<br />
to high school with endless support towards the<br />
future of our education.<br />
The older students have been incredibly kind.<br />
I have felt at times as though they are big sisters<br />
to us.<br />
Marian College has given me many<br />
opportunities to socialise with other year levels<br />
in groups including Special Character, Ethics,<br />
and sports to name a few. I have felt very much a<br />

Haere mai ki Te Kura Huruhuru<br />
Ao o Horomaka. Warm greetings<br />
to the Hornby High School<br />
community.<br />
New years are full of new<br />
beginnings, new hopes, and new<br />
promise, never truer at the start<br />
of a new school year. Our focus<br />
on creativity at Te Huruhuru Ao o<br />
Horomaka Hornby High School provides a great base for<br />
that sense of optimism, that sense of hope, that we all need<br />
as human beings if we are to thrive. Our vision for our kura<br />
‘he puna auaha a centre of creative excellence’ captures the<br />
sense of hope and optimism that we know supports young<br />
people to thrive and grow.<br />
Students at Hornby High School work hard to build the<br />
basic skills and knowledge from which creative and critical<br />
thinking are built, but it is important to emphasise the<br />
importance of those basics in the educational mix. After all,<br />
you need to ‘know stuff ’ in order to<br />
be able to think, you can’t ‘think in a<br />
vacuum’, an absence of knowledge.<br />
This year <strong>2023</strong> also sees the<br />
roll out of our more responsive<br />
localised and contextualised<br />
curriculum where learners at all<br />
levels have exciting opportunities<br />
to pursue their learning within<br />
real world contexts in which they<br />
acquire knowledge and apply that<br />
knowledge to real world situations.<br />
We look forward to welcoming all of our new students,<br />
and to welcome back all of our existing students. Nau mai<br />
haere mai hoki mai.<br />

Our Lady of the Assumption<br />
Our Lady of the Assumption School is a Catholic Year<br />
1-8 co-educational school that endeavours to provide<br />
educational opportunities of the<br />
highest standard within a sound<br />
Catholic environment. Our Vision<br />
is ‘Strong in Faith, Ako and Aroha’.<br />
Our Catholic Special Character<br />
infuses all that we do here at Our<br />
Lady of the Assumption School;<br />
how we pray, live and learn<br />
together and through this we aim<br />
to ‘communicate Christ and help to<br />
form Christ in the lives of others’.<br />
Pope St. John Paul II<br />
Education in our school concentrates not only on<br />
academic progress for our pupils but also on their spiritual,<br />
physical, emotional and social<br />
development. Through the<br />
curriculum, our students are<br />
given the opportunity to become<br />
equipped with the knowledge and<br />
key competencies necessary to<br />
facilitate learning now and in the<br />
future.<br />
We welcome applications for<br />
enrolment. Please see our website<br />

Preparing students<br />
for their future <strong>2023</strong><br />
“Our aim is simple... to provide the best<br />
education possible for every student”<br />
Giving students the opportunity to study from an innovative and<br />
broad curriculum is critical to providing each student a pathway<br />
that meets their individual needs. We allow for a greater range and<br />
flexibility in subject choice including the utilization of the secondary/<br />
tertiary interface. This reinforces the philosophy underpinning<br />
personalised learning and is strongly supported by understanding<br />
our students’ interests, passions, talents, and ultimately their career<br />
aspirations.<br />
We understand that for effective learning to take place, it has to<br />
be implemented in such a way that students will be highly engaged.<br />
The school does this in a ‘forward thinking’ way by creating<br />
learning environments that allow our students to see value in what<br />
they do and achieve. Papanui “PRIDE” is what we represent and<br />
we demonstrate this by having young adults leave our school as<br />
confident learners who have gained the appropriate qualifications<br />
and social skills to become valued contributing members of society.<br />
All that we do here is reinforced by positive relationships, an ethos<br />
of caring, cultural responsiveness, inclusion, and high expectations<br />
– what we call “Our Full service Model”. The school highly values<br />
the connectedness of curricular and co-curricular learning. We have<br />
a philosophical understanding that the holistic development of the<br />
student is critical to their individual success.<br />
The school has worked hard to consolidate recent initiatives to<br />
ensure sustained and continuous improvement. You are invited to<br />
view our website, school charter, ERO report, and/or contact the<br />
school for more information.<br />
We look forward to welcoming all prospective students and their<br />
families/whānau.<br />
