Ripped up on the rocks 

81-year-old 

surf club 

member’s 

close call 

Another 

twist in 

SailGP 

dolphin 

saga 

• By Tony Simons 

DAVE BRADLEY has lived in 

Taylors Mistake for more than 

60 years and has been a member 

of the surf club there since he 

was 16. 

But even with his vast amount 

of experience in the water, he 

was one of 30 people who had 

to be rescued during the recent 

heatwave. Dave decided to go 

for a swim on the Friday leading 

into Waitangi weekend, nothing 

unusual for the 81-year-old. 

But he would end up a bloody 

mess and spend five days in 

hospital. 

“I was down at the beach, so I 

thought I’d go for a swim at the 

northern end,” Dave told Bay 

Harbour News. “I wasn’t going 

out far. I just wanted to catch 

(body surf) a couple of waves, 

but I missed the first and went to 

catch the second when I realised 

the rip had dragged me towards 

the rocks. If I had caught that 

wave it would have dumped me 

on the rocks.” • Turn to page 6

A DEVICE designed to deter 

threatened hector’s dolphins from 

entering their harbour sanctuary 

during the SailGP may have 

actually done the opposite. 

Confusion over whether it 

attracted or repelled dolphins 

emerged after SailGP race organisers 

announced they were 

dropping a request to the Department 

of Conservation to use the 

acoustic deterrent device to keep 

the dolphins away from the racecourse 

while the high-speed F50 

catamarans are on the water. 

The device was shelved because 

there is no data on how the dolphins 

might react to it. 

SailGP said the ADD was intended 

to be used only as an extra 

precaution. Bay Harbour News 

understands it was intended to be 

used close to the race area. 

The ADD was part of SailGP’s 

controversial Marine Mammal 

Management Plan, which aimed 

to protect the dolphins from being 

hit by the 100km/h catamarans.

BANKS PENINSULA city 

councillor Tyrone Fields says 

there is no way he will accept a 

$200,000 capital spending cut 

for the Head to Head Walkway 

project. 

And he is upset city council 

staff have not listened to his 

pleas to not defer 

spending on the 

project. 

The promised 

walkway 

encircling the 

harbour is one 

of a number of 

projects on Banks 

Peninsula which 

Bay Harbour 

News last week reported are 

facing funding cuts to help keep 

rates down. 

Fields said he was not 

consulted over the walkway’s 

funding cut and was 

disappointed city council staff 

had released the details. 

“I have asked council staff 

on more than one occasion 

– privately and in public – to 

clarify why spending on the 

project should be deferred,” 

Fields said. 

“I was never consulted on 

it and I raised it with staff 

immediately when I saw it.” 

Fields said it is a significant 

project that will have a minimal 

impact on rates. I opposed the 

cut from the moment I saw it in 

the proposal, before Christmas, 

he said. 

The walkway was also a 

priority project for former 

Banks Peninsula city councillor 

Andrew Turner, who now 

manages the Rod Donald Banks 

Peninsula Trust. 

“I will be working closely with 

Tyrone on this in the hope we 

can get a good outcome,” Turner 

told Bay Harbour News. 

Fields said parts of the 

walkway need to be advanced, 

such as the connection between

Allandale and Teddington, but 

that can’t happen unless the 

funding is continued. 

Other Banks Peninsula 

projects being deferred also 

need community consultation 

before they are finalised “but 

they are mostly down to capacity 

constraints,” said Fields. 

We just need to work through 

those because we can’t do 

everything, he said. 

We have a history of overpromising 

and under-delivering, 

and I am really keen to make 

sure that doesn’t happen again, 

Fields said. Overall, the city 

council proposes removing 

nearly $13.4 million from the 

Banks Peninsula capital plan for 

next year and nearly $10.8m the 

following year. 

Te Pataka o Rakaihautu Banks 

Peninsula Community Board 

chair Reuben Davidson said last 

week: “I think it’s important 

we see many of these funding 

deferments being about what we 

can do, rather than kicking the 

can down the road.” 

A council spokesperson 

said the community will be 

able to provide feedback on 

the proposed cuts when the 

draft Annual Plan goes out for 

consultation next month.

Cruise ship 

operators must 

offer buses 


AS CRUISE ship passengers 

continue to fill up Lyttelton buses, 

Tyrone Fields is not blaming 

Environment Canterbury for the 

impact it is having on local users. 

“ECan has been great. The issue 

is not of their making.” Instead 

Fields is calling on cruise ship 

operators to better configure 

their shuttle bus supply to meet 

passenger demand. 

An increasing number of locals 

say the sheer volume of cruise 

ship passengers are overrunning 

the port town and filling up 

public buses to and from the city, 

leaving locals stranded. 

There was a protest before the 

community board meeting on 

Monday and the gallery was full 

of people with complaints about 

the impact cruise ship passengers 

are having on the community. 

Fields said you can’t blame 

cruise ship passengers. ECan 

has also been constructive and 

willing to help solve the problem, 

he said. “But they can’t just magic 

more buses and drivers out of 

nowhere. 

“We want to be good hosts and 

they want to be good visitors 

and I reckon there is a genuine 

willingness to find that win-win,” 

Fields said.

Gnome job too hard for Phil and Dawn 


PHIL AND Dawn, two gnomes 

from Sumner, have failed in their 

bid to tidy up Phil Yarrall’s grass 

berm. 

The grass outside Yarrall’s 

place in Linwood hasn’t been 

mowed for more than four 

months as a protest against the 

city council “unfairly” charging 

him for water. He expects to get 

a water bill very shortly, but said 

he won’t be paying it. 

So Sumner’s well-known 

Henry Sunderland enlisted two 

of his gnomes, Phil and Dawn – 

aka Mayor Phil Mauger and city 

council chief executive Dawn 

Baxendale – to get the job done. 

Said Yarrall: “The berm has 

become a bit of an eyesore and a 

fire hazard . . . but then Phil and 

Dawn offered to help. 

“Phil told me he’d like to mow 

the berm because he likes to get 

stuff done and he thinks water 

charges are unfair too, but it was 

a big job and, in the end, it was 

too hard.” 

Yarrall believes the city water 

charging rules are discriminatory. 

Residents are given a free 

allowance of 700 litres a day, on 

average. That’s about six showers 

a day, or the same as leaving the 

garden hose on full for about 45 

minutes. 

After that, ratepayers are 

invoiced $1.35 for every 1000 

litres extra they use, based on 

meter readings taken every three 

months, but almost a quarter of 

households will not be charged 

at all. That’s because they 

share meters with neighbours, 

so individual usage can’t be 

calculated. 

Yarrall uses lots of water 

because his 700m2 property has 

a large vegetable garden, a glasshouse, 

more than 20 trees, plus 

seedlings and plants in pots. 

It’s unfair, said Yarrall. 

“Our water comes from the 

same place dairy farmers and

overseas water bottlers use for 

free. Growing our own food is 

better for our health and the environment, 

but the city council 

punishes us for it,” he said. 

There is also no recognition of 

soil type by suburb, said Yarrall. 

“A garden like ours, but in 

New Brighton with its sandy soil, 

would probably need twice the 

water.” 

While Yarrall said he won’t be 

paying his water bill, he hopes 

Phil and Dawn may visit again 

– perhaps after the city council 

gets around to mowing the grass. 

ON THE JOB: ‘I’m not sure we can do this,’ said Dawn. It 

was a big task and, in the end, Phil said it was too hard, 

Yarrall said.

‘I’ve learned 

not to be 

complacent’ 

• From page 1 

Said Dave: “I knew what was 

happening but, given my level of 

fitness, which hasn’t been great 

this year, I decided not to do 

the normal thing and swim out 

through the surf. I would have 

been in even more serious trouble 

if I had. I knew I could get out 

over the rocks, so I elected to 

clamber out that way with the 

waves washing me over the top. 

“A young guy came down from 

one of the baches to give me a 

hand and he helped me out,” he 

said. Others then arrived and 

walked him to the Taylors Mistake 

Surf Life Saving Club. 

His injuries were extensive, but 

not life threatening. Club patrol 

operations manager Ian Rae said 

Dave was covered in blood. 

Said Rae: “It was probably the 

worst I’ve seen as far as blood and 

the like. There were four of us 

looking after him with another 

two passing bandages over.” 

Dave, a Taylors life member, 

said it probably looked worse than 

it did because he was taking blood 

thinners. He spent five days in 

hospital waiting for a skin graft 

operation to the back of his right 

hand. “I should have been more 

careful assessing the conditions 

that day. The lesson I’ve learned is 

not to be complacent.” 


Little evidence device would work 

•From page 1 

But marine mammal experts 

told Bay Harbour News almost 

nothing is known about how the 

dolphins might have reacted to 

the device. It gives off a high frequency 

noise and is used extensively 

overseas to scare seals away 

from fish farms. It has never 

been used with hector’s dolphins, 

said one expert. Another said 

hector’s dolphins are incredibly 

curious, inquisitive creatures and 

sometimes react quite differently 

to other dolphin species. 

Professor Liz Slooten, a dolphin 

researcher (now retired) 

from Otago University’s zoology 

department, said the proposed 

deterrent device might have 

confused the dolphins or caused 

them to turn off their echolocation, 

which they rely on to avoid 

obstacles. 

The full Marine Mammal 

Management Plan was started in 

April 2021. Technical expertise 

for the plan was provided by marine 

mammal expert, Dr Deanna 

Clement, of the Cawthron 

Institute, and Dr Matt Pine, an 

underwater acoustics and marine 

mammal monitoring expert 

from Auckland. 

A number of others were 

also consulted, including other 

marine mammal experts and 

representatives from Ngai Tahu, 

DOC, Environment Canterbury 

the city council and Lyttelton 

Port Company. The management 

plan was finally released publicly 

before Christmas after an 

Official Information Act request 

from ECan councillor Genevieve 

Robinson. But it included some 

heavy redactions which, SailGP 

say, were made for privacy or 

commercial reasons and “to prevent 

serious offence to Tikanga 

Māori and to avoid disclosing 

location of waahi tapu (cultural 

sites).” 

A Te Rūnanga O Ngāi Tahu 

spokesperson told Bay Harbour 

News “that was not quite 

right”. Bay Harbour News asked 

if any of the redactions were 

requested by Ngāi Tahu, but Te 

Rūnanga O Ngāi Tahu had not 

responded by deadline. 

It is understood one redacted 

portion of the management plan 

included a discussion proposing 

the ADD be used but when the 

device was dropped from the 

plan ChristchurchNZ general 

manager destination & attraction 

Tracey Wilson said: “DOC has 

told us the risk profile has not 

changed; and they are supportive 

of the application (for the use of 

the ADD) being withdrawn.” 

ChristchurchNZ, the city 

council tourism and economic 

development agency, is helping 

fund the SailGP event. 

Said DOC Mahaanui operations 

manager Andy Thompson: 

“DOC provided advice to the 

working group developing the 

MMMP but did not sign off 

or approve the plan. There is 

nothing in the Marine Mammals 

Protection Act and regulations 

that requires race organisers to 

RISK: No dolphin deterrent 

strategy is in place for the 

Sail GP racing on Lyttelton 

Harbour from March 18-19. 

get permission from DOC to 

hold the race. However, they are 

expected to abide by the legislation. 

We have made it clear to the 

race organisers that DOC’s role 

is to advocate for the protection 

of marine mammals, and to 

carry out compliance functions 

if any incidents were to occur. 

The MMMP will minimise risk. 

However, it does not remove it 

entirely.” 

Dropping the ADD leaves 

SailGP with no dolphin deterrent 

strategy. The March event 

will rely on “multi-layered” 

detection, say organisers. These 

will include teams observers 

with binoculars on shore and 

in boats, an observer drone, 

and real-time acoustic listening 

devices led by a hector’s dolphin 

observer manager responsible for 

implementing all the protection 

measures.

TREASURES FROM THE PAST 

Cruising the high seas in style 

ACCORDING TO the January 

1904 edition of the English 

Yachtsman, one Mr L.E.C. 

Beebe, a naval architect resident 

in London, United Kingdom, 

sold a large schooner, the 

Privateer, to an unnamed 

yet enterprising colonial 

gentleman who was a resident 

of Her Majesty’s colony of New 

Zealand. 

That gentleman was Mr M.J. 

Burke of Canterbury. 

The three-masted, 108 tonne 

composite schooner that he purchased 

was 32m in length with a 

7m beam and 3.7m draught. 

Formerly named the Olga, she 

was built in 1874 by Henderson, 

Coulborn and Co in Renfrew, 

Scotland, and featured a 6x5m 

main saloon, eight large cabins 

and a ladies’ cabin with bathrooms 

and a further 25 berths. 

This beautifully sleek yacht, 

although almost three decades 

old, was in excellent condition 

and had won the Queen’s Cup at 

Dover. 

After being fitted out for the 

arduous 100 or more day journey 

to the other side of the world, she 

embarked in the early British autumn 

of 1904 for her first port of 

call at Cape Town, South Africa. 

From there she sailed on to 

Melbourne, Australia, before 

finally setting sail for home – the 

port of Lyttelton. 

On arrival she was laid up for 

major carpentry work, with the 

cabins being refitted to suit a 

luxury pleasure yacht. 

The owner, Mr Burke, had 

planned a new year pleasure 

cruise for his new acquisition 

and the Privateer left Lyttelton 

on Saturday, January 14, 1905, 

bound for Wellington via the

Marlborough Sounds. 

On board for the sail of a 

lifetime were Burke along with 

Captain W. Cameron, acting 

mate John Grubb and a crew 

of 22, including musicians, 

entertainers and local yachtsmen 

as well as the Christchurch artist 

William Menzies Gibb, son of 

John Gibb, one of Canterbury’s 

first professional painters. 

William was on board to 

experience and capture in paint 

the wonders of the Marlborough 

Sounds. Sailing in pleasant, light 

variable winds the Privateer 

made Kaikoura that Sunday, 

January 15, and anchored in 

Ocean Bay, Port Underwood on 

Tuesday, January 17, with the 

crew taking to the schooner’s 

whaleboat and tramping into the 

hills for a spot of shooting. 

Following this sojourn on the 

way north along Arapaoa Island, 

Privateer encountered a strong 

easterly as she made for Ship 

Cove in Queen Charlotte Sound. 

At 3pm on Thursday, January 

19, the mizzen boom snapped in 

half in the heavy winds while off 

The Brothers islands. 

Sheltering in Ship Cove 

for repairs it was decided the 

makeshift boom was sturdy 

enough to last for the return to 

Lyttelton. 

After two nights she set sail 

again around to the Pelorus 

Sound, anchoring just outside of 

Havelock by Sunday 22, where 

the crew took on fresh water 

while exploring the town and its 

beaches.

STOP OFF: Men from the Privateer hunting on the hills above Port Underwood on January 17, 1905, and the crew near Ship Cove after repairs had 

been completed. PHOTOS: TE ŪAKA THE LYTTELTON MUSEUM REF. 14994.18, WWW.TEUAKA.ORG.NZ/ONLINE-COLLECTION/1137165 / TE ŪAKA THE 

LYTTELTON MUSEUM REF. 14994.8, WWW.TEUAKA.ORG.NZ/ONLINE-COLLECTION/1137172 

After anchoring at Guards 

Bay the following day, and faced 

with persistent south easterlies, 

the Privateer sheltered under 

Long Island before finally setting 

sail in a head wind and bumpy 

seas for the Cook Strait on 

Wednesday, January 25, arriving 

in Wellington on January 26, 

1905. While in port she flew 

the Port Nicholson Yacht Club 

burgee, as Mr Burke was a 

member, and attracted a good 

deal of interest from the locals. 

After a couple of days 

sampling the delights of Pōneke, 

the Privateer set her sails for 

Whakaraupō Lyttelton Harbour, 

returning to port by February 

5, 1905. Thus ended an excellent 

adventure of fishing, boating, 

tramping, shooting, painting 

and photography as caught in 

the photographic album of crew 

member Hubert A. Rhind. 

After an Easter cruise to 

Akaroa in April 1905, Burke 

decided to sell his luxury 

pleasure cruiser owing to the 

rather large expenses he had 

accrued in her upkeep and 

betterment. 

Apparently, the recent 

amendment to the 1903 Shipping 

and Seamen’s Act required 

provision for a permanent crew 

for all larger ships, including the 

Privateer, making the venture 

prohibitively expensive. 

She was sold to the 

Australasian Methodist 

Foreign Missionary Society for 

missionary work in the South 

Pacific, and sailed from Lyttelton 

on May 11, under Captain 

William Rennie, for their Sydney 

headquarters. The Privateer 

arrived at her new home port on 

May 29, 1905, after an atrocious 

journey across the Tasman 

in severe gales and surviving 

“tremendous seas”, proving once 

again she was a very capable 

schooner indeed.

A YOUNG builder will be 

pounding the turf of Hagley 

Park for 24 hours next month 

in a bid to raise funds for 

mental health. 

Jackson Lynskey-Reid – Jack 

to his family and friends – 

says it is something he has 

wanted to do for a year or so, 

as he believes it’s “a cool thing 

to do” to help people. 

He chose I am Hope to 

fundraise for after hearing 

about the mental health 

situation in New Zealand 

through social media and 

radio. 

“I think they do an amazing 

job. They target mental health, 

which is something I have 

struggled with in the past, 

so I think it’s right to go with 

them.” 

While Jack hasn’t received 

help himself from I Am 

Hope, he has through other 

pathways and he believes it 

is extremely important for 

young people 

in that situation to receive 

help. 

“I think a lot of young 

people go through mental 

health struggles in their teens 

or early 20s and don’t speak 

up and receive help, which 

is why our mental health 

struggle is so high in New 

Zealand. 

“I have friends who work in 


Epic run for mental health 

and around mental health and 

for a young person to actually 

receive proper help when they 

are feeling down or at a low 

point in their life is very 

hard. 

“That’s why free counselling 

sessions are very important 

when people are starting to 

feel down.” 

Jack aims to raise $10,000 

with his run. After posting his 

intentions on Facebook along 

with a Givealittle link, the 

amount has already topped 

$6600. 

“To all those who are 

supporting me so far it’s a big 

thank you for that,” he said. 

“Every cent counts and to 

see how much money I Am 

Hope has already received is 

wicked.” 

Jack will also donate $20 

himself for every lap he 

completes. He says a lot 

of people have messaged, 

offering to support him by 

running a lap with him. 

The 24-hour fundraiser 

run will start around 6am on 

Friday, March 10. 

I Am Hope is a youth and 

community-focused support 

group run by The Key to Life 

Charitable Trust, founded by 

Mike King in 2010. 

• To support Jack, 

go to givealittle.co.nz/ 

fundraiser/hagley-for-24 

COMMITTED: Jackson Lynskey-Reid will spend 24 

hours running laps around Hagley Park to raise

Gin Wigmore: Expect lively mix of 

old and new at Selwyn Sounds 

• By Darryl Baser 

AMERICAN-BASED Kiwi 

musician Gin Wigmore is 

leaving her husband, fellow 

musician Jason Butler, and their 

children, Pascal, 6, and Izaiah, 

3, back in the US for her New 

Zealand tour, which kicks off 

with Selwyn Sounds on March 4. 

“Unfortunately I am leaving 

my babies, husband and dear 

doggie at home in LA whilst I 

play this next run of shows. I will 

miss their cuddles, chats and 

love so much,” she said. 

“But they know I need to do 

this for my soul to live, grow and 

be great. So, they get it. Plus, my 

kids love getting their dad all to 

themselves.” 

Speaking from her home in 

California, Wigmore said she’s 

looking forward to returning to 

Canterbury, having last played 

here at the Isaac Theatre Royal 

in 2019. 

She said the crowd at Selwyn 

Sounds can expect to hear some 

of her famous songs like Oh My 

and Black Sheep, along some new 

material. 

“A lively set, full of old and 

new songs. My band is awesome 

and such incredible players so 

I can assure everyone a whole 

lot of fun on hopefully a (very) 

sunny summer day.” 

Wigmore was in New Zealand 

earlier this month and played 

at the Opotiki Lantern Festival 

before returning to the US to be 

with her family. 

She has released four albums 

since 2009. She has just finished 

writing a new record, with the 

first single from the forthcoming 

album released on Valentine’s 

Day. 

The song is called Someone’s 

Gonna Die Tonight. 

“I think that day is kinda 

ridiculous, so I thought it would 

be funny to release something 

a little morbid, sort of the polar 

opposite of Valentine’s Day.” 

Wigmore is now an American 

citizen, and credits living in the 

US with helping to lift and 

challenge her as a songwriter. 

“I think the ingredients I use 

for what goes into creating a 

song have grown immensely. 

“With more life experience 

and the ability to work with a 

huge amount of highly talented 

individuals in all sorts of genres 

I was not too familiar with prior, 

has allowed me the confidence to 

now write in those genres too – 

or at least borrow from all styles 

to create a new kind of sound for 

me. 

“I often feel that with more 

life experience brings about new 

perspectives, a more relaxed 

point of view for me in this 

case. And I feel this new record 

reflects the ‘zoom out’ on what 

life looks and feels like for me 

now.” 

While Wigmore works with 

musicians in the US, she is 

playing with her Kiwi band on 

this tour – Dave Goodison and 

Joe Walsh on guitars, Hannah 

Elise on bass, Adam Tobeck on 

drums, and Matthias Jordan on 

keyboards. 

At Selwyn Sounds, Wigmore 

will share the stage with Blam 

Blam Blam, Australian music 

legends Hoodoo Gurus, Mi-Sex, 

Greg Johnson, Stellar* and New 

Zealand music’s elder statesman 

Sir Dave Dobbyn. 

• Selwyn Sounds is on 

March 4 from 11am- 

8:30pm at 15 Meijer 

Drive in Lincoln. More 

information is available at

Space exhibition touches down at Tūranga 

A NEW VISITING exhibition 

in Christchurch shines a light 

on New Zealand’s cutting edge 

space technologies and worldleading 

research. 

Tūhura Tuarangi is an 

interactive, hands-on science 

roadshow. It will be held on level 

1 in Tūranga until February 26. 

The exhibition features a space 

plane simulator, a 4-billion-yearold 

meteorite and interactive 

activities where children can 

build a satellite, launch a rocket 

and see the latest in clean, green 

fuel that could power the future 

of space travel. It was developed 

by Tūhura Otago Museum. 

Alongside its exploration 

of space technology, Tūhura 

Tuarangi will tell fascinating 

tales about how space has helped 

shape our understanding of our 

place on Earth. 

“When you’re from a small, 

isolated country, it’s easy to 

underestimate our role globally. 

We want the next generation of 

Kiwis to see what others have 

achieved already, and what is 

possible,” said Otago Museum 

science engagement co-ordinator 

Dr Andrew Mills. 

“There is a huge and growing 

array of careers in the space 

sector in Aotearoa, and truly 

cutting-edge science under way. 

We want people to be inspired to 

take part in that.” 

Said city council head of 

libraries Carolyn Robertson: 

“The specialised knowledge 

that Otago Museum offers is 

so impressive and with this 

exhibition they make space 

technology accessible and fun 

for all ages, from primary-aged 

children through to adults. 

We hope as many people as 

possible will take advantage and 

visit.” 

A schools programme and a 

number of special events will be 

taking place over the fortnight, 

including a panel discussion on 

Thursday, February 23, from 

6.30-7.30pm, with presentations 

from Dawn Aerospace, 

Aerospace Christchurch and 

Canterbury University. 

Game On a one-stop sport shop 

AN EXPO to encourage more 

Cantabrians into sport and 

active recreation activities will 

host its inaugural event at Te

Centre. 

The focus of 

Game On, a free 

family event on 

Sunday, will be 

on providing a 

fun, interactive 

and inclusive 

day, with plenty

to try new things 

Nicolette 

Elia 

and discover what’s on offer in 

Canterbury, Te Pae’s director of 

event services Nicolette Elia said. 

Te Pae has partnered with 

Serious Fun Ltd to host the event 

– the first of its kind for the city. 

Sport Canterbury is the principal 

sponsor. 

“Ōtautahi Christchurch is 

well known as a great city for 

sport and the outdoors, so we 

are looking forward to providing 

local residents of all ages and 

abilities with a fun, interactive 

one-stop shop where they can 

learn about the sport and 

active recreation opportunities 

that are available, and then sign 

up, join in and get active,” Elia 

said. 

More than 40 community and 

recreation groups have expressed 

interest in participating in the 

event. Groups confirmed include 

Mainland Football, Christchurch 

Netball, Canterbury Rugby, 

Special Friends Sports Trust, Tri 

Rugby, The Halberg Foundation,

SHOWCASE: Francis A Shurrock’s Poppies 1929 (lino cut and

cut) feature in a new printmaking exhibition at Christchurch Art 

Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū.

FREE BUS 

if required 

Rarely seen work on display 

SHOWCASING the 

often overlooked medium 

of printmaking, a new 

exhibition at Christchurch 

Art Gallery Te Puna o 

Waiwhetū shines light on one 

of the most dynamic periods 

of art history. 

Ink on Paper is the first 

exhibition in New Zealand 

to cover this progressive 

period of printmaking, from 

the 1910s to the 1950s, and 

includes rarely seen works 

from household names like 

Rita Angus, Evelyn Page, 

Colin McCahon and Bill 

Sutton, alongside works by 

lesser-known artists. 

“Ink on Paper includes 

striking work by people you 

may never have heard of, 

like Nancy Bolton, Gertrude 

Ball, Hilda Wiseman, 

Adele Younghusband 

and Hinehauone Coralie 

Cameron. This show brings 

them to the fore, and gives 

their prints the attention 

they’ve always deserved,” said 

curator Peter Vangioni. 

The exhibition features 

more than 100 etchings, 

lithographs, woodcuts, woodengravings 

and lino cuts by 

New Zealand artists working 

at home and abroad. 

“By the early 20 th century, 

printmaking was undergoing 

a remarkable revival in 

the West. As photography 

replaced traditional 

lithography and woodengraving 

techniques in the 

commercial print industry, 

artists were quick to embrace 

these suddenly obsolete print 

mediums and incorporate 

them into their practice,” 

Vangioni said. 

The majority of works 

in the exhibition are from 

Christchurch Art Gallery’s 

collection. 

“We’ve been acquiring work 

with this exhibition in mind, 

strengthening the gallery’s 

print collection. The rest are 

on loan from institutions and 

private collections throughout 

New Zealand. In some 

cases, we’re displaying the 

original lino block alongside 

the finished product,” said 

Vangioni. 

A major hardcover book 

accompanies the exhibition, 

available from the gallery’s 

design store and bookshops 

around the country. 

The exhibition runs till May 

28.

8 Rules of Love 

How to Find it, Keep it, and Let it Go 

by Jay Shetty 

The author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Think Like a Monk offers a 

revelatory guide to every stage of romance, drawing on ancient wisdom and 

new science. Nobody sits us down and teaches us how to love. So we’re often 

thrown into relationships with nothing but romance movies and pop culture 

to help us muddle through. Until now. Instead of presenting love as an 

ethereal concept or a collection of cliches, Jay Shetty lays out specific, 

actionable steps to help you develop the skills to practice and nurture 

love better than ever before. He shares insights on how to win or lose 

together, how to define love, and why you don’t break in a break-up. 

Inspired by Vedic wisdom and modern science, he tackles the entire 

relationship cycle, from first dates to moving in together to breaking 

up and starting over. And he shows us how to avoid falling for false 

promises and unfulfilling partners. By living Jay Shetty’s eight rules, we 

can all love ourselves, our partner, and the world better than we ever thought 

possible. 

Fear 

New Zealand’s hostile underworld of extremists 

by Byron C Clark 

This must-read new book maps New Zealand’s alt-right underworld and unearths the 

roots of the occupation that ended in a violent protest on the grounds of Parliament. 

Speaking after the chaos of the protest that stopped the nation, Prime Minister Jacinda 

Ardern told a press conference, ‘One day, it will be our job to try and understand 

how a group of people could succumb to such wild and dangerous mis- and 

disinformation.’ That day isn’t in the future. Mis- and disinformation had been identified 

as a problem before the convoy to parliament had even been suggested. While that 

protest looked like something that ‘couldn’t happen here’, things that supposedly 

couldn’t happen here seemed to be happening with alarming frequency. Three years 

prior, an armed gunman had entered two mosques in Christchurch and taken the 

lives of 51 worshipers, an event that shocked a country where mass shootings are 

almost unheard of. A few months later, a New Zealand Defence Force soldier who 

had founded a far-right group was arrested, and is awaiting court martial, accused 

of espionage. We are no longer living in ordinary times, where political violence is 

unimaginable, and conspiracy theorists are marginal figures whose ideas can be 

laughed at. How did things get to this point? Fear: New Zealand’s Hostile Underworld 

of Extremists helps make sense of the tributaries feeding the river of alt-right activism, 

identifies the main perpetrators, and looks at why New Zealand is susceptible to 

misinformation, conspiracy theory and fear-mongering.

sleep-out. Superbly landscaped with mature 

specimen and fruit trees; this property has been 

the venue for many weddings & events over the 

years as it really has that special feel & is both 

peaceful and private. 

Purau is approximately 40 minutes’ drive from 

Christchurch, making it a highly desirable 

destination being so close to the city yet just far 

enough away. Properties in this lovely valley 

very seldom come to the market and always 

attract huge interest. 

Excellent swimming, boating, walking and 

stunning sunsets on the hills. Less than 10 

minutes to the Diamond Harbour shops, cafés 

and bar or catch the ferry to 

Lyttelton (approx. 10 mins) to 

embrace the Saturday market or 

myriad of restaurants. A wonderful 

community to be a part of.

Mazda CX-5 Activ – point of difference 

THERE’S NOTHING more 

satisfying than picking up an 

evaluation car and immediately 

being familiar with the layout and 

controls. 

That happened recently when 

I was scheduled into a Mazda 

CX-5 Activ, it has much the 

same interior design as the new 

Kiddie-family CX-30, along with 

the look and feel. Sure there are 

a few differences, but the point 

I’m making is that Mazda builds 

similarity into all of its models, it’s a 

simple concept but one that works 

well. 

However, if you are wanting 

a Mazda sport utility vehicle 

and want to get away from that 

familiarity and are looking at 

something just a little bit different 

to the mainstream, then the CX-5 

Activ is definitely the car to choose. 

It has trim details that are quite 

bold and aren’t included in the 

rest of the range. The evaluation 

car was painted an interesting 

light brown (zircon sand) that 

in some light appeared green, 

while the interior has bright green 

plastic trim elements around the 

air conditioning vents, along with 

perforated green seat flecks and 

piping, and a subtle green grille 

accent. 

This may all sound a little brash, 

but it isn’t, it works well and it is 

only available in the Activ. What’s 

more, the Activ is, as its name 

suggests, a model that will take 

you places off the seal. It has an 

additional four-wheel-drive mode 

that has power management 

protocols that will help enhance 

grip on slippery surfaces. 

The CX-5 Activ lists at $51,390 

and sits mid-way in a six-model 

CX-5 line-up, bearing in mind the 

series starts at $42,690 for a 2-litre 

front-drive only model and ends at 

$64,690 for a turbocharged 2.5-litre 

Takami. 

The Activ also gets the 2.5-litre 

engine, but it is sans turbocharger, 

the naturally aspirated unit still 

pumps out a healthy 140kW 

and 252Nm, both realised at 

traditional parts of the rev band 

4000 and 6000rpm respectively. 

While these are healthy outputs, 

the performance doesn’t come at 

the cost of unnecessary fuel usage, 

the engine management structure 

keeps the revs down and it will 

happily haul in from almost idle 

speeds,. 

Drive is through a traditional 

six-speed automatic gearbox and 

it, too, ushers in early, undetectable 

shifts that monopolise the engine’s 

torquey characteristics. Of course, 

if throttle application is heavy the 

engine will rev freely, especially 

when sport mode is activated, but 

CONTRAST: Bright green trim around the heating and air 

conditioning vents sets the Activ apart from the rest of the 

series. 

MAZDA CX-5 ACTIV: Zircon sand exterior colour is a mix between brown and green. 

I’m not a big user of that function, 

normal mode is always satisfactory 

and helps to glean respectable fuel 

usage statistics. 

According Mazda, the CX-5 

models with the naturally aspirated 

engine are rated at 7.4-litres per 

100km on a combined cycle 

average. My testing time yielded 

some interesting figures. I was 

fortunate to have the evaluation 

car for an entire week and during 

that time it was used a daily 

commute which produced a 

9l/100km onboard average. On 

the highway that figure dropped to 

7.8l/100km with 6l/100km showing 

instantaneously at 100km/h 

(engine speed 2000rpm). 

On the subject of figures, 

the CX-5 in this form will also 

accelerate to 100m/h in 8sec and 

complete a highway overtake in 

5.5sec (80-120km/h). 

The CX-5 as a series is an SUV 

that dispenses the kilometres with 

ease. It is quiet and comfortable 

and equips itself well when the 

tricky nature of our high country 

roads are presented. Riding on the 

high quality Toyo tyres (225/55 

x 19in) there is a lot of rubber on 

the surface of the road, and that 

promotes substantial feedback at 

the steering wheel, corner entry 

is precise and body balance very 

reassuring. 

• Price – Mazda CX-5 Activ, 

$51,390 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4575mm; width, 1845mm; 

height, 1680mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

four-wheel-drive, 

2488cc, 140kW, 252Nm, 

six speed automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 8sec 

• Fuel usage – 7.4l/100km 

Because drive is channelled to 

all four corners, the suspension 

is a fully independent system 

and it has spring and damper 

rates firmed only just slightly 

so that body movement can be 

contained, along with absorbing 

road ripples and ruts well before 

they are transmitted inside. The 

benefit of the firming is the way 

the CX-5 behaves in a corner, it is 

accurate and body movement over 

the suspension is only minor. The 

driver can sense the suspension 

doing its job, especially at the rear 

where it delivers an informative 

feel. 

Normally, I wouldn’t tackle 

anything off the seal in an 

evaluation car unless there was 

little choice and for a specific 

purpose. However, curiosity got 

the better of me in the CX-5 Activ. 

There’s an open subdivision near 

Darfield that has some undulating 

mounds of dirt that was neither 

taxing nor dirty. The CX-5 was 

immaculate when I picked it up 

so I had no intention of getting it 

muddy, but I did want to try the 

Mi-Drive four-wheel-drive mode, 

and on my short excursion in the 

loose it could certainly be heard 

and felt working as power was 

shuffled to each wheel as I eased 

gently over the uneven terrain. 

I can easily see the CX-5 in this 

form appealing those who like 

to take to the back roads for the 

fishing expedition to the high 

country lakes or for towing the 

caravan into an isolated camping 

ground. For the record, Mazda rate 

the CX-5 all-wheel-drive range 

with a 1800-2000kg tow figure. 

I’ve always rated Mazda product 

highly, and now that my wife and 

I are fully fledged members of the 

Mazda family nothing has changed 

that opinion. 

The CX-5 is an extension of 

what we enjoy in our CX-30, 

and I can categorically say that 

anyone who purchases a CX-5 

Activ will be delighted with the 

purchase and experience, and 

for that matter any CX-5 model 

or anything else from Mazda’s 

comprehensive line-up.
