MESHOW
BIG BIRTHDAY: Daphne Eva celebrates turning 100 with her son John – the birthday card from newly coronated
King Charles and Queen Camilla a highlight.
Daphne Eva arrived in
New Zealand from Essex
in 1970. And last week
she received a surprise
message from home – a
card from King Charles
and Camilla wishing her
a happy birthday. Daphne
turned 100 last week, an
occasion celebrated at
Radius St Helenas Rest
Home in Barbadoes St
where she lives. Office
manager Ana Bastias said
it was a royal occasion
with high tea and two
chocolate cakes, with her
son John, other residents
and staff all joining in with
the celebration. “It was a
great day, everyone had a
fantastic time,” said Bastias.
“She’s such a character.”
Daphne was overjoyed
by the card from the
royals, and also the one
she received from Prime
Minister Chris Hipkins.

SIXTY FIVE community groups
will take part in Saturday’s
Mother of All Clean Ups –
making it the biggest yet.
Hundreds of people will clean
the Heathcote River, the Estuary,
Lyttelton Harbour Basin and
Avon River.
The first annual
clean-up in 2015
involved only
five community
groups, Avon
Heathcote
Estuary Ihutai
Trust manager
Tanya Jenkins

The trust was
one of the project’s founders.

Jenkins said the groups will be
allocated a waterway and then
will encourage members to get
involved.
The Mt Pleasant Yacht Club
and Ferrymead Rotary Club are
among those taking part.
“It’s all about encouraging
community groups,” Jenkins said.
While the total waste collected
has trended downward from 10.5
tonnes in 2016 to 2.6 tonnes in
2021, the amount of rubbish in
waterways remains an ongoing
issue.

Burglary victim tracks
down stolen bracelet
BURGLARS HAVE struck
again in the Mt Pleasant
area.
A house on Moncks Spur Rd
was broken into between 8.30-
11.30am last week.
Among the items stolen
were jewellery, iPads and a
computer.
The burglary comes after a
woman recently tracked down
a Pandora bracelet, stolen in
a break-in at her home on
Major Hornbrook Rd in late
November.
She saw the stolen
bracelet listed on Facebook
Marketplace and called police
on the 105 number to report
the matter.
But she said the police told
her they would not investigate.
So she arranged with the seller
to buy back her bracelet for
$200. She was disappointed
with the police response.
Said a police spokesperson:
“We do receive reports from
people finding what they
believe to be stolen items on
online marketplaces.
“Police will make inquiries
into the reports and are
committed to doing what they
can to reunite owners with
their belongings and holding
offenders to account.”
However, the burglary
victim said police were not
interested in her case.
“I personally feel the police
File image
won’t do anything,” she
said.
“Crime is just ballooning.”

Atlas: The Story of Pa Salt
by Lucinda riley
Spanning a lifetime of love and loss, crossing borders and oceans, Atlas: The Story of Pa
Salt draws the Seven Sisters series to its stunning, unforgettable conclusion. 1928, Paris.
A boy is found, moments from death, and taken in by a kindly family. Gentle, precocious,
talented, he flourishes in his new home, and the family show him a life he hadn’t
dreamed possible. But he refuses to speak a word, or reveal a single detail about who
he is. As he grows into a young man, falling in love and taking classes at the prestigious
Conservatoire de Paris, he can almost forget the terrors of his past, or the promise he has
made. But in 1930s Europe, an evil is rising across the continent and no one’s safety is
certain. In his heart, he knows the time will come where he must flee once more. 2008,
the Aegean. All the seven sisters are gathered for the first time, on board the Titan to say a
final goodbye to the enigmatic father they loved so dearly. To the surprise of everyone, it is
the missing sister who Pa Salt has chosen to entrust with the clue to their pasts.
Winter Warmers
recipes and stories from a New Zealand high country station
by Philippa Cameron
Philippa’s much-loved book A High Country Life sprang from her popular Instagram page
‘What’s for Smoko’. Full of great stories of living through the seasons on a high country
station, it contained stunning images of the beautiful landscape in which Philippa and
her family live and farm. Her second bookWinter Warmers includes more fascinating
tales from past staff and family who have life-long connections to the land and life on
the station. It has even more recipes, with approximately 70hearty fill-’em-up meals and
baking ideas. There’sa strong focus on Philippa’s favourite kitchen appliance, the magic
pot (multicooker), plus methods for stovetop, oven and conventional slow cookers too.
It also has lots of no-waste ideas and tips on how to use leftovers to create exciting and
inspiring new meals. Complete with incredible photography of life in the high country, this
is both a practical guide and a beautiful, aspirational book to browse.

MARLEY, MAX
And A PEnGUIn
Marley
The week started off with Marley, a sweet
1 year old DSH that arrived from the
after-hours clinic with an oblique right
distal humeral fracture, no doubt a run in
with a car. Marley didn’t seem to know he
was in pain. He purred his way through
the physical exam and blood testing,
gobbled up his food and was a delight to
care for.
Marley’s owners adored him but their pet
insurance hadn’t yet kicked in so surgical
referral for a plate and screws was out
of the question. Lucky for Marley, our
new Veterinarian Jack, put his hand up
to repair the fracture with pin and wire
stabilisation. Surgery proceeded without
a hitch and we were rapt with the
post op radiographs. To date, Marley is
doing really well, weight bearing on the
operated leg, although going a little stir
crazy with cage confinement. All going
well, he’ll be watching the birds, climbing
trees again in about 5 weeks time.

Penguin’s eye post cataract surgery

Marley the cat
Next up was Steve’s second cataract
surgery on another Yellow Eyed Penguin
from the Dunedin Wildlife Hospital.
Steve’s becoming a bit of a gun with bird’s
eyes. It’s a great learning experience for
our team as well as birds have different
requirements under anaesthesia. His first
successful cataract on Mr Sandymount
was a huge success, with his vision being
excellent. Here is a close up of his eye
looking fantastic post surgery.
BIG EFFORT: Celia King and Kit Doudney collect rubbish along the Estuary
during a previous Mother of All Clean Ups.
‘Pick up 5’ a new
waste initiative
• From page 1
“We’re hoping every year to see a
reduction in the amount of litter we pick
up,” Jenkins said.
“We do have an issue – let’s solve it.”
Heathcote Ward city councillor Sara
Templeton has been involved with the
clean-ups since they began.
“I helped out at the first clean up back
in 2015 when I was chair of the (former)
Hagley/Ferrymead Community Board
and have been a big supporter ever since,”
Templeton said.
She usually cleans up around either the
Tannery or Windsport Park on Dyers Rd.
“It’s been amazing watching it grow
year by year . . . The Heathcote Ward has
many waterways. Smaller ones that come
down from the Port Hills, the Ōpāwaho
Heathcote River and, of course, the
estuary.”
The event will include a new initiative
this year – the High Five, I Can Pick Up
Five campaign.
It encourages everyone to pick up five
pieces of litter outside their home.
“The pick up five campaign is something
people should be doing all year round,”
Jenkins said.
“If we all pick up five pieces of rubbish .
. . that would be awesome. Then we’ll have
the cleanest city in the country.”
•To participate in the Mother of
All Clean Ups meet outside the
New Brighton Library at 9am. Bring
closed-toed shoes, appropriate
clothing for the weather, and a
reusable drink bottle.
Max
Lastly we diagnosed FIP ( Feline
Infectious Peritonitis) in our own
special 7 year old ginger “Maximus”.
A real shock for us as FIP is relatively
uncommon and affects usually
younger, pedigree cats. Max didn’t
fit the signalment. He was behaving
weirdly - sleeping in the garage,
growling at Atticus (and us) and then
he completely stopped eating. He also
had intermittent fevers. Max lives for his
tucker so we knew this was serious. We
carried out a series of testing including
blood tests, abdominal ultrasounds,
biopsies and then we got the dreaded
diagnosis.
Thanks to Covid there has been heaps
of development with antiviral drugs and
now we have a drug that can attempt to
beat this usually incurable disease.
We had to specially formulate
Remdesivir for Max and order it in.
72 hours after starting this impressive
drug, Max was eating on his own,
purring and for the first time in months,
and attempting some interaction with
Atticus. Plus he had moved back to
sleeping with us.
A total win.
Maximus, our cat
Vets pets really do get the weird nasty
diseases…..but we are in the best
position to help our furry friends.

Ballerina’s big dream a step closer
• By Heidi Slade
IZZY HOULT is heading to
London in June to help make
her dream of becoming a prima
ballerina come true.
The 15-year-old has been
dancing since she was four.
Now, 11 years later, she will
attend the Rambert School of
LONDON
BOUND:
Ballerina
Izzy Hoult
has been
accepted into
the Rambert
School’s
summer
intensive.
Its alumni
include soloist
Carolina
Cortesi (below

AMBER
GRIFFEN
Ballet and Contemporary Dance
summer intensive, a programme
that only accepts 30 dancers a
year worldwide.
Alumni include Sir Frederick
Ashton CBE, founding choreographer
of the Royal Ballet in
London, and ballerina Carolina
Cortesi.
In March 2017, Cortesi was
offered a two-year soloist
contract with Plzen Ballet in the
Czech Republic.
The Rambert School summer
class will help Izzy on her
journey to becoming a prima
ballerina – a ballerina who is first
in their company and performs
lead roles.
“My favourite ballets are the
classics, Romeo and Juliet, Swan
Lake and Giselle. So to dance the
lead roles in those ballets would
be an honour,” she said.
“I just want to keep improving,
striving to push my boundaries
and limits.”
Izzy has been to a summer
intensive at the Dutch
National Academy of Ballet in
Amsterdam, making this her
second international trip.
She dances at Anna Lee
School of Dance for 30-35 hours
each week and attends Te Kura
correspondence school.
Izzy’s mornings are dedicated
to schoolwork, but she will dance
from 1-8pm most days.
“My studio is my home, my
happy place,” she said.
“I remember when I was six
and was at my old studio in the
Tai Tapu hall and early Saturday
morning I would have rehearsal,
it was so cold you could see my
breath, but leg warmers and all,
it felt like home, ballet is where I
belong.”
But getting to London will be
no easy feat.
Last Wednesday, Izzy’s family
held a fundraising night, with
members of the Little River
community coming to hear
guest speakers talk about their
life experiences and challenges.
At $35 per person, plus
donations from those who
couldn’t be at the fundraiser,
Izzy and her family raised $1300
for her trip and course fees.
When she was about 12,
Izzy knew she wanted to be a
professional dancer.
She looks up to world-class
ballerinas like Marianela Nunez
of the Royal Ballet.
“She’s just incredible to
watch.”
Another idol is Gillian
Murphy, whom Izzy admires for
her skill – and partly because she
is a fellow redhead.
Izzy’s last competition was
the Alana Hains Australasian
Awards in Wellington.
She placed 25th out of 200 in
her category and was one of the
youngest in the group.
“Being onstage with the lights
and costumes feels amazing and
so rewarding,” she said.
“Having the opportunity
to share my love and passion
with the audience makes all the
training and hours of rehearsals
in pointe shoes all worth it.”

IF A new Toyota Land Cruiser is
on your wish-list but you have a
few extra notes in the bank, the
Lexus LX 500d is the next best
option.
It’s a Land Cruiser on steroids
in terms of specification and
luxury and it sits in a part of the
market that has little competition
in terms of prestige and
ability than, say, Range Rover.
What’s more, it’s an easy decision
to make if you have decided
on Lexus, there are just two
models – F-Sport and Limited
both are priced at $175,900.
As its nomenclature suggests
the F-Sport has design elements
that are a little on the sporty side
– black mesh grille, unique front
and rear bumpers – while inside
there are aluminium centre
console panels and coloured seat
coverings. The Limited has a
chrome slatted grille, woodgrain
shift panel, wood-rimmed steering
wheel and full black leather.
The only other real difference
lies with the suspension, the F-
Sport gets what Lexus describes
as performance dampers. In
effect, the ride is just marginally
firmer, although I certainly
couldn’t detect much difference
between the standard settings
and those fitted to the F-Sport;
I climbed out of it and stepped
straight into the Limited, there
was no immediate feeling of
change.
Of course, if you were to
explore all of the driveline settings
and functions that make
the Land Cruiser/LX 500d so
capable, the chassis and suspension
settings would then come
into play.
However, as capable as it is
Incorporating
best motorbuys
www.drivesouth.co.nz
Go-anywhere goliath loaded with luxury
off-road, you don’t see too many
Lexus models charging through
the bush or high country tracks,
it is far more of a civilised sevenseat
family wagon that will lend
itself to any challenge, especially
in terms of towing, it is rated
with a 3500kg figure. If towing
a horse float or boat for your
recreational pursuits is what you
require, then the Lexus in this
form is the vehicle for you. It is
a true sport utility vehicle with
luxury and quality elements that
are true to the Lexus ethos. For
the children in the second row of
seats, each can be entertained by
their own personal screens fixed
to the rear of the front seat head
rests.
Under the bonnet sits a new
V6 diesel engine that also comes
courtesy of Land Cruiser. The
best way it can be described is it
is much the same design as the
old V8 that powered previous
generation models, but with two
cylinders fewer. It does get the
benefit of a twin turbocharging
system which provides power
outputs greater than previously,
it is rated at 227kW and
a stunning 700Nm. Add in the
coupling to a 10-speed automatic
transmission, the relay of power
to each corner is seamless and
constant, there’s never a point
when accelerator input isn’t met.
The LX 500d is chock full of
the luxury ingredients you get
with any model from the Lexus
stable, that’s something the
company has classed as a major
manufacturing ingredient in all
of its models. I was reluctant to
take the evaluation cars back to
the dealership, both variants really
grew on me, I simply enjoyed
the driving experience.
Which one would I buy?
The F-Sport, knowing those
performance dampers are sitting
underneath are just one more
reason to feel secure on the road.
