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 />

advocacy. The traps have been<br />

laid for decades, so there is a<br />

need for replacement for rusted<br />

mechanisms and the housings.<br />

There were also traps lost during<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 />

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 />

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.

Did you know that there were no<br />

labour parties. Or that local body elections<br />

in Christchurch used proportional<br />

Parliamentary democracy in Aotearoa<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 />

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 />

to reach their fullest potential. Our strong<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 />

activities on offer, it is a pleasure<br />

to watch our students develop from Villa<br />

girls into confident and caring young Mercy<br />

Seyara De Silva began her Marian College<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 />

Kia ora koutou. Talofa. Kia<br />

Orana. Malo e lelei. Bula Vinaka.<br />

Fakaalofa atu. Namaste. Kumusta.<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 />
