MESHOW <br />
HONOURED: The coronation of King Charles III will be commemorated on Saturday with a tree planting day at Bridgestone Reserve (Papanui Bush).<br />
Thousands of natives have already been planted at the reserve by volunteers, including school pupils.<br />
A tree for King Charles III<br />
PAPANUI will commemorate<br />
the coronation of King Charles<br />
III on Saturday at 10am,<br />
with Mayor Phil Mauger<br />
planting a rimu tree in<br />
Bridgestone Reserve/Papanui<br />
Bush.<br />
He will be accompanied<br />
by Christchurch Central MP<br />
Duncan Webb, Waipapa<br />
Papanui-Innes-Central<br />
Community Board members,<br />
Rotarians and some of the<br />
countless volunteers who<br />
have planted native trees and<br />
shrubs throughout the reserve,<br />
Papanui Rotary spokesperson<br />
Jenny Haworth said.<br />
They will also inspect the<br />
nearly finished all-weather<br />
path. This will give wheelchair<br />
access to the bush – an<br />
important factor, as the reserve<br />
borders the new Cancer Society<br />
accommodation centre and<br />
the BrainTree Wellness Centre,<br />
Haworth said.<br />
She said the bush is quickly<br />
becoming a place to rest, reflect<br />
and be rejuvenated.<br />
Thousands of native trees<br />
and shrubs have already been<br />
planted in the bush, which runs<br />
through a drainage area from<br />
Langdons Rd to Sawyers Arms<br />
Rd.<br />
Haworth said the planting<br />
started six years ago as a<br />
Papanui Rotary initiative, with<br />
support from the city council.<br />
The project is led by Denis<br />
McMurtrie.<br />
Hundreds of hours have been<br />
spent by teams of volunteers<br />
planting the native trees and<br />
shrubs. Over time, the project<br />
has involved many community<br />
groups, which have supported<br />
the planting through funding<br />
and volunteer hours.<br />
Haworth said the reserve is<br />
already attracting native birds.<br />
It has also become a valuable<br />
tool to teach schools and<br />
community groups about the<br />
original ecology of the area<br />
before the trees were felled to<br />
build Christchurch.<br />
Saturday will be a<br />
community day of action at the<br />
reserve, with planting before<br />
and after the ceremony.<br />
• Papanui Bush<br />
community planting<br />
day is on Saturday from<br />
9am-12.30pm. For more<br />

Kiri and Lou explore what<br />
it means to be a child<br />
THE ANIMATED stars of<br />
an award-winning children’s<br />
television show will explore<br />
what it means to be a child in a<br />
new library exhibition.<br />
City council head of libraries<br />
and information Carolyn<br />
Robertson said ‘Kiri and Lou<br />
at the Library’, which opens on<br />
Saturday at Tūranga’s Te Pito<br />
Huarewa/Southbase Gallery,<br />
will showcase the locally-made<br />
stop motion series.<br />
“Immerse yourself within<br />
the Ōtautahi-created series<br />
and sit and savour the world of<br />
claymation with your whānau<br />
for a while,” said Robertson.<br />
“Explore the indoor forest<br />
environment in the gallery, curl<br />
up with a pukapuka (book)<br />
and take part in interactive<br />
activities and more within the<br />
sights and sounds of the forest.”<br />
The exhibition runs until<br />
October 22 and will feature<br />
activities for children of all<br />
ages, with an exclusive new<br />
animation and behind-thescenes<br />
production video.<br />
The short animation film,<br />
A Peaceful Moment, will be<br />
played on the big screen after<br />
it was specially created for the<br />
exhibition.<br />
“There will also be a chance<br />
to take an up-close look at<br />
the Kiri and Lou characters<br />
and a sneak peek into the<br />
early concept sketches of how<br />
the series came to life,” said<br />
Robertson.<br />
A variety of activities,<br />
including stories with Kiri<br />
herself, papercraft and a<br />
themed scavenger hunt, will<br />
also be offered this weekend.<br />
“The highlight of the<br />
exhibition opening is having<br />
Olivia Tennet, the real-life voice<br />
of Kiri, read to our tamariki<br />
and let their imaginations run<br />
wild,” Robertson said.<br />
The exhibition will have<br />
strong literacy elements, such<br />
as storytime sessions.<br />
IMMERSED: Kiri and Lou at the Library opens at Tūranga<br />
on Saturday. Below – Kiri and Lou animation director<br />
Dale Hayward and Poppy put the exhibition together.<br />

Connecting city and seaside<br />
One of eastern<br />
Christchurch’s most<br />
rundown bridges will<br />
soon get a makeover.<br />
Brian Donovan from<br />
the New Brighton<br />
Residents Association<br />
reports on what is<br />
happening<br />
with the<br />
Pages Rd<br />
bridge, and<br />
delves into<br />
the history<br />
of bridges<br />
in the area<br />
WE ARE not far from seeing<br />
the concept plans for the new<br />
Pages Rd bridge, out for public<br />
submission in July-August.<br />
This will be one of the most<br />
important constructions for<br />
the east in many years and will<br />
shape the design of the immediate<br />
roads in and around it – and<br />
will possibly incorporate a welcome<br />
sculpture.<br />
As well as pushing the<br />
case for our locals, the New<br />
Brighton Residents Association<br />
occasionally dabbles in a bit<br />
of lightweight history about<br />
the area. Here, we feature local<br />
bridges feeding people into the<br />
coastal suburb from the time the<br />
first European settlement ships<br />
arrived in Lyttelton.<br />
Seaview Rd or Pages Rd<br />
bridge<br />
A route was put through by the<br />
privately owned New Brighton<br />
Tramway Company. Horse trams<br />
ran from Christchurch to New<br />
Brighton between 1887 and 1905,<br />
after which the Christchurch<br />
Tramway Board took over and<br />
electrified the line.<br />
At the entrance a gate<br />
reinforced the company’s<br />
ownership of the structure,<br />
where a toll was collected for a<br />
short time before it became a<br />
public thoroughfare.<br />
The company’s line was later<br />
opened as a public road, Pages<br />
Rd, named after tramway<br />
company director, Joshua Page<br />
(1826-1900).<br />
The original Seaview or Pages<br />
Rd bridge was a flat bridge. It<br />
was replaced at the beginning<br />
of the 1930s by the present high<br />
bridge. This was designed by H.<br />
F. Toogood, father of television<br />
personality Selwyn “money or<br />
the bag” Toogood.<br />
The hump in the bridge<br />
came at the behest of Richard<br />
Bedward Owen, a tailor and<br />
conservationist, known as ‘River<br />
Bank Owen’, who argued that<br />
REPLACEMENT: Concept<br />
plans for the new Pages<br />
Rd bridge will be out for<br />
public submission in July.<br />

boats could come ‘sailing or<br />
steaming with the tide’ via the<br />
Estuary to Christchurch. They<br />
never have, but there are plans<br />
to run wakas to New Brighton<br />
via the Ōtākaro/Avon River<br />
Corridor.<br />
Bower bridge<br />
Bower bridge by the Bower<br />
Tavern first opened in 1876<br />
(right). The present Bower bridge<br />
was completed in 1942.<br />
In the 1920s and 1930s the<br />
inter-city bus service pioneered<br />
transport on Wainoni Rd, across<br />
the Bower bridge to North New<br />
Brighton and New Brighton.<br />
It was a private service, very<br />
popular and cheap, and ran on<br />
the smell of an oily rag. It was<br />
managed and owned by Intercity<br />
Motors with headquarters on<br />
Bowhill Rd.<br />
The bus company was<br />
in competition with the<br />
Christchurch Tramway Board’s<br />
trams on the Pages Rd route<br />
and developed into a ‘bus war’.<br />
Trams and buses would try to<br />
beat each other to pick up the<br />
next passenger, a far cry from<br />
bus driver shortages and cuts in<br />
services today.<br />

A brief history of bridges out east<br />
residents the long journey up to<br />
Central Brighton. The present<br />
bridge was opened in 1981.<br />
• From page 5<br />
South Brighton bridge,<br />
Bridge St<br />
Opened in 1927, it was the<br />
result of the work of New<br />
Brighton Borough councillor,<br />
Herbert Arundel Glasson.<br />
Glasson lived in South<br />
Brighton and persuaded fellow<br />
residents to pay extra rates to the<br />
New Brighton Borough Council,<br />
providing a South Brighton<br />
bridge was built.<br />
The resulting small wooden<br />
bridge saved South Brighton<br />
Estuary bridge<br />
Who has crossed this bridge ?<br />
Nobody, as the Estuary<br />
bridge has never been built despite<br />
proposals and plans by various<br />
people over the years.<br />
James Mawson Stewart (1883-<br />
1949) was born in New South<br />
Wales and came with his family<br />
to Christchurch as a small boy.<br />
He began his working life as a<br />
clerk and later cashier at a venerable<br />
institution, the Christchurch<br />
Gas Company.<br />
While still a young man, he<br />
set up the firm of accountants,<br />
Stewart Beckett and Co. He went<br />
on to earn the reputation as ‘one<br />
of the best-known businessmen<br />
in Christchurch’.<br />
In his youth, Stewart and his<br />
brother Arthur bached at New<br />
Brighton, and retained a commercial<br />
interest in the area.<br />
During World War 1, they were<br />
major figures in the South New<br />
Brighton Land Company, which<br />
consisted of small shareholders,<br />
and the Southshore Syndicate,<br />
whose members were substantial<br />
businessmen.<br />
The two companies bought the<br />
wasteland where the suburb of<br />
Southshore now stands and sold<br />
it at a low price. It was stipulated<br />
that every purchaser of a section<br />
should donate 15 pounds towards<br />
the cost of a bridge to take people<br />
across the Estuary to Sumner.<br />
Seven hundred pounds was<br />
collected, plans drawn up and a<br />
track – the future Rockinghorse<br />
Rd – hacked out of the wilderness.<br />
Amid the battles of trying to<br />
find investors, residents on the<br />
Redcliffs/Moncks Bay side were<br />
less enthusiastic about hordes of<br />
‘uncouth’ travellers coming from<br />
New Brighton.<br />
After the war, the company and<br />
syndicate were wound up as momentum<br />
waned. James continued<br />
to hope that the area might<br />
progress, and in 1927 attempted<br />
DESIGN: New<br />
Brighton<br />
Residents<br />
Association’s<br />
concept<br />
sculpture<br />
for the new<br />
Pages Rd<br />
bridge.<br />
to persuade the Government the<br />
bridge should be erected at public<br />
expense.<br />
The property owners became<br />
very disillusioned with the<br />
outcome and many sold up and<br />
moved on.<br />
However, the new Pages Rd<br />
bridge will be delivering greater<br />
numbers of people in and out of<br />
the wider coastal area.<br />
The New Brighton Residents<br />
Association has tossed in a few<br />
concept ideas for a sculpture<br />
signifying entry into our coastal<br />
paradise to get the ball rolling.<br />

CONTEST: Christchurch under-18 Black’s wing defence<br />
makes an intercept during their win over Southland<br />
Country at the King’s Birthday tournament on Sunday.<br />
SUCCESS: The Christchurch under-16 Red and Black teams won all of their matches<br />
before meeting in the Tupuranga championship final on Monday.<br />
• By Jaime Cunningham<br />
CHRISTCHURCH have<br />
dominated the second edition of<br />
the Tupuranga under-16 netball<br />
championship.<br />
The A grade final was contested<br />
by two of the city’s representative<br />
teams with Christchurch<br />
Red taking out the top grade,<br />
beating Christchurch Black 29-16<br />
at Pioneer Stadium on Monday.<br />
Christchurch White won the B<br />
grade with a 33-27 victory over<br />
North Canterbury.<br />
The Red and Black teams both<br />
went through pool play unbeaten<br />
over the weekend before encountering<br />
each other in the final.<br />
The White team suffered only<br />
one loss all weekend, going down<br />
33-24 to Selwyn B.<br />
Christchurch Netball Centre<br />
development lead Julia van Dyk<br />
said the Tupuranga (meaning<br />
‘a place to grow’) championship<br />
“uses netball as the waka for<br />
our rangatahi to grow and learn<br />
together”.<br />
The three-day<br />
tournament was first<br />
played last year. It is<br />
primarily focused on<br />
the development of<br />
players who wouldn’t<br />
otherwise have opportunities<br />
to play in<br />
representative tournaments.<br />
Julia<br />
van Dyk<br />
It was part of a busy weekend<br />
for Christchurch Netball Centre<br />
with the annual under-18 King’s<br />
Birthday tournament played at<br />
Bishopdale YMCA on Sunday.<br />
Although there were no finals,<br />
the two under-18 Christchurch<br />
teams had some big wins and<br />
close losses.<br />
The under-18 Red team<br />
beat Central Lakes 35-20 and<br />
Marlborough 44-18, but lost to<br />
Invercargill (39-33) and Dunedin<br />
(48-35).<br />
Although the under-18 Black<br />
team only managed one win<br />
over Southland Country (37-21),<br />
they suffered close losses to<br />
Invercargill (29-27) and Central<br />
Lakes (25-23).<br />
Both under-18 teams will<br />
contest two tournaments later<br />
this month before heading to the<br />
Celebration Box Netball New<br />
Zealand under-18 championships<br />
in Hamilton from July 10-13,<br />
where Christchurch Red will<br />
defend their national title.<br />

These winter warmers are full of flavour<br />
Make the most of the<br />
season’s richest flavour<br />
pairings with these two<br />
delicious double acts<br />
Return the balls to the pan,<br />
among the onions and figs,<br />
cover with a lid and bake for 30<br />
minutes. Spoon into bowls.<br />
Pork and halloumi balls<br />
Blackberry and apple<br />
trifles<br />
Mince lets us to take dinner<br />
in so many directions. With<br />
these meatballs, it is worth<br />
letting them rest for a while in<br />
the fridge after shaping, as they<br />
are less likely to fall apart during<br />
cooking. Turn them carefully<br />
in the pan, letting them form a<br />
golden crust on the base before<br />
moving them. Use a coarse<br />
grater for the halloumi, so the<br />
cheese melts and seasons the<br />
pork as it cooks.<br />
Serves 3-4<br />
Ingredients<br />
3 spring onions<br />
1 Tbsp and a little more of<br />
groundnut oil<br />
2 cloves garlic<br />
grated zest of 1 lemon<br />
2 small red chillies<br />
4g dried mint<br />
450g coarsely minced pork<br />
200g halloumi<br />
For the figs:<br />
2 medium onions<br />
2 Tbsp groundnut or olive oil,<br />
for frying<br />
1 Tbsp thyme leaves<br />
6 small figs<br />
TASTY: Follow up these hearty meatballs with a warming<br />
dessert made from in-season apples. PHOTOS: GETTY<br />
Directions<br />
Cut the spring onions into thin<br />
rounds, then cook them in the<br />
oil in a shallow pan for 5 minutes,<br />
until soft and translucent.<br />
Peel the garlic and crush to a<br />
paste, then stir into the spring<br />
onions. Add the grated zest and<br />
a generous grinding of salt and<br />
pepper. Finely chop the chillies,<br />
then add to the onions and mint<br />
and remove from the heat.<br />
Add the minced pork to the<br />
seasonings. Coarsely grate<br />
the halloumi, then add to the<br />
mixture and mix well. Shape the<br />
mixture into balls about the size<br />
of a golf ball and put in the fridge<br />
for 20 minutes.<br />
Warm the oil in a shallow<br />
nonstick pan, add some of the<br />
pork balls and let them colour<br />
one side then gently roll them<br />
and brown the other. Move the<br />
balls around from time to time<br />
to brown evenly, then transfer to<br />
an ovenproof dish. Repeat with<br />
the rest of the balls.<br />
Preheat the oven to 180 deg C.<br />
Peel and finely chop the onions,<br />
then add to the vacated pan,<br />
with a little more oil if necessary,<br />
and fry them for 10-12 minutes<br />
until they are starting to soften.<br />
Roughly chop the thyme, then<br />
add to the onions, then roughly<br />
chop the figs and also add them.<br />
Cook the apples using only a<br />
little water, letting them simmer<br />
to a soft and fluffy puree. Add<br />
the blackberries at the end, so<br />
they don’t overcook, mashing<br />
them a little so their juices lightly<br />
bleed into the apples. Give the<br />
sherry and orange juice a little<br />
time to soak into the sponge<br />
fingers to make sure they are<br />
thoroughly saturated. Like most<br />
trifles, the longer the layers of<br />
fruit, sponge and cream are<br />
together, the better the result.<br />
Serves 4<br />
Ingredients<br />
150g sponge fingers or ratafia<br />
biscuits (almond macaroons)<br />
80ml dry sherry<br />
Juice of 2 medium oranges<br />
For the apples:<br />
1.5kg cooking apples<br />
100ml water<br />
2 Tbsp caster sugar<br />
200g blackberries<br />
For the cream:<br />
150g double cream<br />
125g mascarpone<br />
1 Tbsp icing sugar<br />
A few drops of vanilla extract<br />
Directions<br />
Peel the apples and cut into<br />
large chunks. Put them in a nonreactive<br />
saucepan with the water<br />
and sugar, set over a moderate<br />
heat and bring to the boil. Lower<br />
the heat and leave for 10-15<br />
minutes, with the occasional stir,<br />
until the apples have become<br />
soft enough to mash to a puree.<br />
Stir in the blackberries and<br />
crush lightly with a fork. Lightly<br />
whip the cream until it starts to<br />
thicken. It should be just thick<br />
enough to slide off the spoon.<br />
Stir in the mascarpone, icing<br />
sugar and vanilla extract.<br />
Break up the sponge fingers<br />
and put them in the bottom of<br />
four large glasses or glass bowls.<br />
Mix together the sherry and<br />
orange juice, then pour over the<br />
sponge fingers and leave to soak<br />
in.<br />
Spoon the apple and<br />
blackberry mixture on top of the<br />
sponge. Place a spoonful of the<br />
mascarpone cream on top of the<br />
apple, leave for an hour in the<br />
fridge to settle before eating.<br />

Volvo’s EV SUV– best of many worlds<br />
MY FIRST evaluation drive was<br />
in 1988. I remember it vividly, it<br />
was a five-cylinder petrol-fuelled<br />
Audi 90 and I picked it up from<br />
the Archibalds showroom.<br />
Nearly 35 years later, my<br />
last evaluation drive was also<br />
presented to me from staff at<br />
Archibalds, not an Audi but a<br />
Volvo – a C40 Recharge – a fully<br />
electric vehicle to be exact.<br />
The C40 Recharge is a crossover<br />
wagon, one that has a coupetype<br />
shape but tall enough to<br />
be a sport utility vehicle. But its<br />
main claim is that of its propulsion,<br />
it has no petrol engine, it<br />
has a motor over the front axle<br />
and drives through the front<br />
wheels only.<br />
A point to note with the C40’s<br />
driveline and platform is it<br />
shares much componentry with<br />
that of the Polestar 2; Volvo has<br />
www.drivesouth.co.nz<br />
a major interest in the Chinese<br />
company. That will allow buyers<br />
a choice, the prices are similar<br />
at $85,900 (C40 Recharge) and<br />
from $68,990 to $93,900 for the<br />
Polestar 2, yet you can make<br />
the decision of whether a sedan<br />
type body structure or an SUV<br />
is right for you. It is interesting<br />
to note here the C40 Recharge<br />
won’t get you any Government<br />
Clean Car Programme rebate.<br />
Inside, the C40 Recharge has<br />
immediate similarities with<br />
Polestar as well, the large screen<br />
graphics and interface are almost<br />
identical. Specification levels on<br />
the Volvo are extensive and, of<br />
course, you get all the clever safety<br />
kit that Volvo has long been<br />
revered for in all of its models.<br />
Volvo has indicated its intention<br />
to produce electric models<br />
only by 2030 and with Polestar’s<br />
Incorporating<br />
best motorbuys<br />
input that would seem quite<br />
achievable. The C40 Recharge is<br />
the first full EV out of the blocks<br />
and it is a worthy trendsetter.<br />
Volvo claims 170kW of power<br />
and 330Nm of torque, both<br />
outputs available instantaneously.<br />
That’s where EVs come<br />
into their own, they are dynamic<br />
and forceful. Volvo also claims<br />
a 7.4sec standstill to 100km/h<br />
time. (If that’s not quick enough<br />
for you, there is a higher output<br />
Ultimate model at $100,900,<br />
which cuts out that time in<br />
4.7sec.)<br />
And the C40 Recharge in<br />
entry-level form still gets great<br />
range. It can travel up to 438km<br />
on a single charge, there’s a<br />
69kWh battery system sitting<br />
in the platform of the car, and<br />
that is a lot of capacity. Bear in<br />
mind most EV manufacturers<br />
recommend 80 per cent as being<br />
full capacity, in a bid to increase<br />
battery longevity.<br />
It’s the little out of the box<br />
ideas that I really liked in the<br />
C40 Recharge. One in particular<br />
is the textured map of Gothenburg<br />
that is inlaid into the dash<br />
CAR CITY<br />
EST 1973<br />
Opposite<br />
Uprising<br />
Rock<br />
Climbing<br />
panel in front of the passenger<br />
seat. If you are ever in Sweden it<br />
is something you could relate to.<br />
As mentioned, this is my<br />
last motor vehicle evaluation.<br />
Throughout the last 35 years I’ve<br />
been on an incredible journey,<br />
I’ve driven many thousands of<br />
the latest and greatest models<br />
and it’s been an absolute thrill<br />
and an experience I have never<br />
tired of as I head into retirement<br />
from the publishing industry.<br />
By way of a thank you, I’d<br />
like to acknowledge all of the<br />
feedback I’ve received, motoring<br />
journalism is obviously something<br />
that is well read, respected<br />
and opinion-dividing. I hope<br />
you’ve enjoyed reading my columns<br />
as much as I have enjoyed<br />
writing them. For those who have<br />
asked me what is the best vehicle<br />
for you, I also hope I’ve steered<br />
you in the right direction.<br />

“I haven’t heard this clearly for years!”<br />
(Comment from one of our many<br />
satisfied clients recently)<br />
We change lives all day, every day.<br />
Hearing loss can creep up on you very gradually,<br />
quite often over several years. The first signs of this<br />
are often a reduction in speech clarity, or difficulties<br />
conversing with people in social situations, such as a<br />
restaurant or family gathering. Other early signs are<br />
ringing in the ears (tinnitus) or a gradual increase in<br />
your TV volume level. These issues can be very<br />
frustrating, and are often first noticed by your family.<br />
We take the time to listen to you and your needs;<br />
understand that one size does not fit all, and always<br />
do everything at your pace. There is a good reason<br />
we have so many wonderful 5 star Google reviews.<br />
Come have a chat with us at The Hub, 418 Main<br />
South Road, Hornby (between Japan Mart & BNZ).<br />
