From punting to politics 

BY KEES CHALMERS 

On Sunday Nathaniel Herz 

Jardine finished up working as 

a part time punter on the Avon 

River. 

Yesterday, he started started a 

new career: City councillor. 

The 32-year-old took out the 

Heathcote Ward with 5014 

votes in saturday’s local body 

elections, comfortably heading 

off the only other contender 

Sumner lawyer, Ian Kearney 

(3523 votes). 

The ward had been left vacant 

after incumbent Sara Templeton 

stood only for mayor. 

She went down heavily to Phil 

Mauger by about 20,000 votes. 

Herz Jardine, who will be the 

youngest city councillor, said 

he found out the result while 

cycling to a friend’s house. 

“It was mostly just relief 

initially. I was feeling confident, 

but also just really nervous at 

the same time, I had this feeling 

that there was a lot of support 

in the community for the 

campaign,” he said. 

A Labour Party member Herz 

Jardine joined Labour-aligned 

The People’s Choice political 

grouping earlier this year. He is 

a former Green party member 

and was a field organiser for 

the Green party during the 2020 

election. 

Incumbent Heathcote Ward 

Community Board members, 

Tim Lindley and Will Hall both 

retained their positions, beating 

Jack Mould and Daniel Nielsen.

Fields wants 

progress on 

wastewater 

project 


Tyrone Fields is determined to 

see progress on the contentious 

Akaroa wastewater scheme in his 

second term as Banks Peninsula 

Ward city councillor. 

He was re-elected on Saturday, 

comfortably defeating former 

radio host Dave Dunlay. 

Fields received 

2876 votes to 

Dunlay’s 1038 with 

Banks Peninsula 

again recording 

the highest 

voter turnout in 

Christchurch, with 

52.71%. 

This will be 

Fields’ second Tyrone Fields 

term as city 

councillor and his fourth on 

Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks 

Peninsula Community Board. 

“My response was a bit more 

subdued than last time, but I’m 

emotional nonetheless. 

“You feel pretty relieved 

because it (campaigning) takes a 

lot out of you,” he said. 

His focus will be the Akaroa 

wastewater scheme, which has 

faced delays and rising costs. 

City council staff revealed in 

July that the project’s cost had 

ballooned to $167 million – $70m 

more than previously expected.

Art auction banner mystery 

– could this motorist help? 


A popular art auction’s 

advertising banner has been 

targeted in a bizarre theft and 

then damaged after it was 

replaced. 

Police have publicly released 

a CCTV image of a motorist who 

they say may be able to help 

with the investigation into the 

Peninsula Art Auction banner 

on Norwich Quay. 

The image shows a middleaged 

brunette on Norwich 

Quay in a white Nissan Murano 

or Qashqai. The banner was 

stolen on October 5 and the 

replacement was vandalised on 

Sunday. 

The auction fundraises for 

Lyttelton Primary School by 

selling donated art pieces. 

It will be held at the school 

from November 1-2. 

Event organiser Taff Gilvray 

said the theft and vandalism 

was disappointing. But she was 

overwhelmed by support from 

the community. 

"We’ve had so many people 

reaching out with great things

and damage. 

to say and we've had local businesses 

offering to replace the 

sign. We had another business 

who offered us free electronic 

signage,” she said. 

A group from the Lyttelton 

Scouts repaired the banner on 

Monday in the pouring rain 

without being asked. 

The auction is held every 

two years and has raised about 

$500,000. 

It raised $70,000 in 2023. This 

year more than 250 pieces from 

100 artists will be auctioned off. 

Two sketch drawings by 

the late Lyttelton artist Bill 

Hammond will be auctioned, 

as well as pieces from Jason 

Greg and ceramics from Nicola 

Shanley. 

"We're pretty lucky with our 

local talent,” she said.

Fundraiser for 

Flight replacement 

The Mt Pleasant Community 

Centre has started a Givealittle

Jump In 

by Nicola McCloy 

A guide to 120 top swimming spots you 

may not know of around New Zealand From 

secluded sandy bays, to crystal clear alpine 

lakes, hidden lagoons, rivers and beaches, 

Jump In is a guide to Aotearoa’s best swimming 

destinations. Best-selling Kiwi author Nicola 

McCloy loves to swim. Her years of enjoying 

the water have led to this book setting out both 

the popular and the secret swimming spots 

all around New Zealand. Going from north to 

south, with instructions on how to get there, 

amenities, ease of access, parking, level of 

ability needed and child- and dog-friendliness, 

alongside descriptions and stories, all 

accompanied by beautiful photos, this is a 

book you will want to keep close at hand when 

doing a trip of any length - from a day outing to 

a full-blown road trip. 

Guts by Melissa Leong 

Gold Logie-nominated TV personality and food 

icon Melissa Leong bites down on her demons 

in this searing memoir, exploring themes of 

abuse in the hospitality industry, racism, mental 

health and, for a light palate cleanser, the 

thrill of mouth-wateringly memorable food. An 

evocative, sharp, darkly funny and often brutal 

account of what it’s like to try, fail and scrape 

together the confidence to try again. Leong 

shares how her dream of being a concert pianist 

crumbled due to chronic pain, her struggles 

with racism and identity as a first-generation 

Singaporean Chinese woman, how blowing up 

her life to reset her path was maybe (definitely!) 

worth it, and why going your own way 

absolutely is. Garnished with Leong’s favourite 

recipes, Guts is above all a glorious love letter 

to food, to choosing the unpredictable path and 

to believing in yourself even - and especially - 

when the odds are stacked against you. No guts, 

no glory. Hope you’re hungry. 

WE’RE STILL OPEN! 

Cat on the Road to Findout 

by Yusuf/Cat Stevens 

Embark on an extraordinary journey through the 

life, music and spiritual adventures of Yusuf/Cat 

Stevens, one of the iconic figures of our time. 

This is more than a memoir - it’s a profound 

exploration of identity, faith, and the universal 

search for meaning. Cat Stevens was launched to 

fame in the swinging sixties, with chart-topping 

pop hits like ‘Matthew and Son’ and ‘The First Cut 

is the Deepest’. His early career was drastically 

interrupted by a mortal battle with TB - a 

turning point that ignited his quest for peace 

and understanding. FINDOUT unveils the untold 

chapters of his remarkable journey, illustrated 

with dozens of drawings in Yusuf’s own hand. 

Self-penned with raw honesty and poetic insight, 

he reflects on the challenges, controversies, and 

triumphs that have defined his life, offering readers 

a rare glimpse into the soul of a man who has lived 

multiple lives in one - finally shedding light on all 

those hidden ‘in-betweens’. 

Lessons on Living 

by Nigel Latta 

Finding Your Way Through Life’s Ups and Downs 

from the respected New Zealand psychologist 

and bestselling author 

What do you do when you’re told you only have 

months to live? If you’re Nigel Latta, first, you’re 

going to eat a lot of ice cream. And then you’re 

going to assemble a mental toolbox to deal with 

every conceivable conundrum the world could 

throw at you (the small ones and the big ones). 

After three decades working as a clinical 

psychologist, Nigel has found there are just three 

principles you need to deal with life’s ups and 

downs. Whether you want to be a better parent, 

build an empire or get through some tough 

times, these easy-to-carry principles will help 

you to do that. 

Consider this book a guide to how to respond in 

any situation, drive your own bus, and do it all 

with resilience, joy and attention to what matters 

most.

Native species get boost from 

Extra water 

storage for 

fire fighting 

A successful pest control 

programme taking place around 

Whakaraupō Lyttelton Harbour 

has removed nearly 4700 

predators, thanks to a network 

of volunteers, support from 

landowners and city council 

funding. 

The Whaka Ora Pest Project 

(WOPP), run in partnership with 

Conservation Volunteers New 

Zealand (CVNZ), targets invasive 

predators such as possums, rats 

and stoats. 

It also tackles invasive weeds 

including spur valerian, old man’s 

beard, banana 

passionfruit, boneseed, 

wilding pines 

and sycamore. 

The project’s 

overall goal is 

to restore the 

harbour’s natural 

biodiversity 

Hamish 

Fairbairn 

while building a 

resilient, engaged 

community, said 

CVNZ Canterbury 

regional manager Hamish 

Fairbairn. 

With more than 90 trained volunteer 

trappers, a network of 800 

traps and 31 traplines, WOPP currently 

protects more than 440ha 

of public and private land. 

Reducing pest numbers creates 

space for native populations to 

thrive, Fairbairn said. 

harbour pest control project 

The success of the Whaka Ora Pest Project in targeting invasive species around 

Whakaraupō Lyttelton Harbour has created space for native species like kererū to 

recover and thrive. 

PHOTOS: CCC 

“As pest numbers drop, we 

see increased nesting success in 

native birds, more sightings of 

invertebrates, and the regeneration 

of native vegetation. 

“In the harbour, people are 

seeing larger flocks for kererū, 

the return of tomtit miromiro 

and increased sightings of tūī.” 

WOPP covers council parks 

and reserves, Department of 

Conservation land, and private 

land, recognising that ecological 

threats can move freely across 

property lines, Fairbairn said. 

“We rely on the commitment 

of our volunteers, and the 

funding we receive from 

council helps cover the costs of 

essential equipment like traps, 

bait and monitoring tools as 

well as training, co-ordination 

and safety support.” 

The city council has two 

funds to support community 

environmental initiatives 

like WOPP, both now open for 

applications. 

The biodiversity fund is 

aimed at landowners wanting 

to protect and enhance areas 

of ecological significance on 

private land within council 

boundaries. 

Parks programmes and 

partnerships manager Roslyn 

Kerr said this could be through 

initiatives like fencing, native 

planting or pest control. 

“Working in partnership with 

private landowners, we can 

achieve outcomes that benefit 

the whole city.” 

The city council also offers 

the environmental partnerships 

fund, Kerr said. 

“This is targeted at 

community organisations, 

charities and non-profit groups 

looking to partner with our 

parks rangers on projects 

of shared interest to the 

community and the city as a 

whole.” 

WOPP has received a 

combined $70,000 in city 

council funding from both the 

biodiversity and environmental 

partnership funds. 

Three new water tanks are 

being installed to help fight fires 

in Birdlings Flat and Pigeon Bay. 

Work to install two tanks in 

Birdlings Flat is scheduled to 

begin later this month, with 

another tank to be installed in 

Pigeon Bay in late November. 

The communal storage tanks, 

which can each hold 26,000 

litres of water, are especially 

important for rural communities 

where limited water supply 

systems can struggle to meet 

demand during a fire. 

“There are a few existing 

tanks on the rural side of Banks 

Peninsula, however we’re 

installing the new tanks in areas 

where FENZ highlighted they 

are needed,” said city council 

head of three waters Gavin 

Hutchison. 

“Unlike Christchurch, most 

water supplies in Banks Peninsula 

are fed by small streams 

which are usually at their lowest 

in summer when fires are more 

likely,” he said. 

Hutchison said the work in 

Birdlings Flat is expected to take 

four weeks to complete, while 

the Pigeon Bay installation will 

take three weeks. 

“The tanks will provide great 

resilience in the event of any 

fire on the rural side of the 

peninsula, so residents can rest 

assured there will be enough 

water on standby.”

A Cantabrian, he moved to

He moved back to Christchurch

"That's the first time I really 

started to feel like, this is actually 

where I'm gonna make my life, 

this is my home and I really want 

to be part of making it a better 

place. 

"Politics started becoming 

less of an interest and more of a 

personal thing,” he said. 

He became Living Wage 

Movement’s Canterbury manager, 

and successfully campaigned 

to get the city council to pay 

the living wage to staff and 

contractors. 

"It was really close to my heart 

because I'd spent a lot of my 20s 

working those sorts of minimum 

wage jobs,” he said. 

It showed Herz Jardine learned 

how to make political change at 

a local level, understand how 

local government works and the 

impact it can have. 

He is strongly in favour of the

“That’s going takes up a lot of 

my attention early on,” Fields 

said. 

With a similar makeup of 

councillors to the previous term, 

Fields expects similar challenges 

in getting projects across the line. 

While Dunlay was 

disappointed, he said 

he appreciated the 

experience. 

“The results will fall 

as they fall, but on that 

journey, I’ve met so many 

people from around Banks 

Peninsula and learned so 

much about this wonderful 

area that we call home,” 

Dunlay said. 

“For me, that was the real 

highlight.” 

During the campaign, he 

became involved with Cass 

Bay residents in an initiative 

to deter boy racers from local 

streets – something he will keep 

supporting. 

The group is seeking $4300 for 

a portable speed camera, which 

will be placed in various locations

Dunlay said he will continue 

operating his glamping business 

at French Farm and is also eyeing 

a new opportunity involving his 

background in media – creating 

content exploring areas of Banks 

Peninsula to help boost tourism. 

Most members of the Banks

Board were re-elected 

unopposed. 

Lyn Leslie will remain 

chair, Asif Hussain and

members for the Akaroa

Longboard event more than just a surf contest 


The Tuawera Longboard Classic 

returns to Sumner Beach for its 

fifth edition, starting tomorrow 

and running until Sunday. 

The event was originally 

started in 2021 by Sumner 

surfers Charlie Wise, Jack Tyro 

and Will Jamieson, who wanted 

to create a community-focused 

surf festival. 

They were inspired by the 

nostalgia they shared from 

attending competitions as kids. 

Said Jamieson: “We just loved 

the atmosphere. 

“All these people, they were 

there for the surfing, they 

were there to hang out with 

the community and that really 

sparked something that we 

thought was missing.” 

The trio felt surfing 

competitions had drifted away 

from their community-based 

roots and become too focused 

on competitiveness. 

“We just really put the 

emphasis on it being a family 

friendly, fun day and that 

created the vibe we carry on 

today,” Jamieson said. 

There are currently 73 

competitors registered across 

six categories, though Jamieson 

expects that number to rise to 

between 80 and 85 by tomorrow 

– roughly double the number 

who competed in the first event 

in 2021. 

A particularly exciting 

development for Jamieson is the 

growing number of competitors 

More than just a surfing competition, Tuawera aims to bring the community together. 

in the open female category, 

which is up to 15 this year – the 

second largest section after 

retro shortboard. 

“There’s quite a lot of good 

up-and-coming female surfers 

coming through,” he said, 

naming Lucy Macefield, Estella 

Hungerford and Sumner’s 

Amelie Wink among them. 

Hungerford is ranked number 

one in the open women’s 

category for the SISA circuit 

and Wink is ranked second. 

In the men’s field, the 

standout is defending champion 

Tyro, who is once again the 

favourite for the title. 

PHOTOS: JONATHON SMIT NZ 

He will be competing off the 

back of a strong performance 

at the World Surf League Bells 

Beach Longboard Classic in 

Victoria, finishing tied for ninth. 

In the Tuawera event’s first 

year, the organisers focused 

solely on surfing, but since then 

they’ve added other elements to 

“We just really put the 

emphasis on it being a 

family friendly, fun day 

and that created the 

vibe we carry on today.” 

Will Jamieson 

bring the community together – 

live music, food trucks, and this 

year for the first time, a skate 

ramp. 

Alongside the surfing, the 

festival will host three parties 

over two nights, kicking off 

with a free welcoming event 

tomorrow featuring a karakia 

and live music at Clink. 

On Saturday, from 4-6pm, 

there will be a live surfboard 

shaping demonstration at the 

Goat Shed surf board library at 

the Sumner Hub. 

Following that, from 6-10pm, 

there will be live music behind 

Matuku Takotako: Sumner 

Centre and then an after 

party at Clink running from 

10pm-1am. 

Jamieson said it’s a challenge 

to make the event bigger and 

better each year while still 

keeping it affordable, but he’s 

grateful for the support of the 

Sumner sponsors. 

“We ask a lot of the local 

community and they’re very 

nice to give us what they do.”

Newly-combined team 

gets off to positive start 

BY DIANE KEENAN 

A combined Burnside Park and 

Sumner team brought together 

by their shared coach, Remi 

Feneon, will look to maintain 

their momentum this weekend 

after a flying start to the 

premier tennis competition. 

Feneon has added Sumner’s 

top players, Jack Hansen-Ratter 

and Madison Aubrey, to his 

established Burnside lineup this 

season, and the new side made 

a strong start with a win over 

Te Kura Hagley at the weekend. 

Finn Emslie-Robson, Liam 

Adams and Hansen-Ratter all 

won their singles and Feneon 

combined with Hansen-Ratter 

to secure the doubles. 

On Saturday, they face Edgeware, 

who are coming off a bye, 

while Te Kura Hagley hosts Elmwood 

– who impressed in their 

opening clash against newcomers 

Mid Canterbury. 

In hot, blustery conditions, 

Elmwood brothers Elliot and 

Lawrence Darling produced 

composed performances to 

overcome younger opponents 

Josh Gilbert and Ryan Watt 

respectively. 

Teammate Tom Batt, recently 

returned from working 

Burnside Park/Sumner’s Jack Hansen-Ratter picked up wins in the singles and 

doubles against Te Kura Hagley. 

overseas, also won convincingly, 

while Mid Canterbury’s 

Riley Breen earned his side’s 

points with victories in both the 

singles and doubles. 

Mid Canterbury and Bishopdale 

will both be chasing their 

first wins of the season when 

they meet on Bishopdale’s home 

courts this weekend. 

Bishopdale were well beaten 

by Cashmere last week, with the 

experienced Cashmere players 

adapting better to the tricky 

conditions. 

Experience also came to the 

fore in the women’s competition, 

where the match of the 

day featured Te Kura Hagley 

veteran Michelle North-Kelsen 

against Edgeware’s Nishitha 

Maarka. 

With the sets tied, North- 

Kelsen was down 1-8 in the 

deciding super tiebreak but 

fought back superbly to take it 

11-9. 

Te Kura Hagley won the tie 

4-2 and will face Waimairi this 

week. 

Cashmere hosts Bishopdale 

– who lost to Elmwood by five 

games on a countback – while 

Edgeware will be at home 

again, taking on Elmwood on 

Saturday. 

Peninsula plot comeback, Heathcote keep rolling 


Peninsula Harbour will be 

aiming to bounce back after a 

six-wicket loss to Pleasant Point 

in their opening game of the 

Country premier season. 

They now prepare to take on 

Cheviot at Rhodes Park Domain 

at 12.30pm on Saturday. 

Despite the loss, Peninsula 

captain David Neal is confident 

his side can rebound this 

weekend with a few tweaks. 

The focus will be on fielding, 

after several dropped catches 

proved costly in last weekend’s 

defeat. 

“Our fielding let us down and 

they made us pay for it,” he said. 

Peninsula batted first and, 

despite a shaky start with ducks 

for openers Ben Aveyard and 

Chester Oldfield, managed a 

competitive total of 239/5. 

That was largely thanks to 

a starring performance from 

Tim Petrie, batting at three, 

who scored 129 not out off 136 

deliveries. New recruit Jackson 

Hodgkinson provided support 

with 43 off 81. 

Peninsula started well with the 

ball, reducing Pleasant Point to 

6/2, before half-centuries from 

Lachie Munro (63) and Matthew 

Brown (91) 

guided the 

hosts home 

with 4.3 overs 

remaining. 

Petrie is 

unavailable 

this week due 

to Canterbury 

Country 

Tyler Lortan 

commitments 

and will make way for returning 

player-coach Tim Gruijters. 

Meanwhile, Heathcote began 

their Metro premier two-day 

campaign with a dominant 

victory over defending 

champions Lancaster Park. 

They now face East Shirley 

away at Burwood Park on 

Saturday from 10.30am. 

“We're looking forward to it, 

we’ve had some good success 

in the recent past against East 

Shirley,” said player-coach Tyler 

Lortan. 

“I know they're going to come 

out hard, but we are pretty confident 

about going over there and 

competing really well.” 

He said the keys will be consistency 

and keeping things simple. 

The win over Lancaster Park 

was built on a tight bowling 

display, which saw the opposition 

bowled out for 109. 

“We were really disciplined up 

top, we put on a lot of pressure 

and we were creating chances 

through pressure, then wickets 

started to happen on a regular 

basis after that,” Lortan said. 

Otago Volts recruit Travis 

Muller was economical in his 10 

overs, taking 1-17. 

Youngster Oscar Anderson took 

2-30 from six overs, while Marek 

Bungard and Phillipe Boissevain 

claimed three wickets each. 

Heathcote’s chase started well, 

but a middle order collapse saw 

them struggling at 73/6, before 

Lortan’s 27 not out and Muller’s 

unbeaten 19 saw them home.

Art Auction Marks 20 Years of 

Fundraising for Lyttelton’s Children 

The much-loved Peninsula Art 

Auction returns this November 

celebrating 20 years as one 

of Lyttelton’s most enduring 

and successful community 

fundraisers. 

Run biennially, the auction has 

become a cornerstone of local 

culture, celebrating the work of 

artists with links to the Banks 

Peninsula while raising an 

estimated $500,000 for Lyttelton 

tamariki since its inception. 

The Peninsula Art Auction began 

in 2003 as a grassroots fundraiser 

sparked by the local school 

community, supported early on 

by Lyttelton Main School parents. 

Celebrated artist Bill Hammond 

donated the first artwork, and the 

event quickly gained momentum 

and became a much-loved fixture 

on the calendar. 

By 2005, it had evolved into a 

collaborative effort involving all 

three local schools at the time – 

Lyttelton Main, Lyttelton West, 

and St Joseph’s – and to support 

this ongoing relationship, a 

charitable trust was established to 

coordinate fundraising efforts for 

the children of Lyttelton. 

Originally staged at Holy Trinity 

Church in Lyttelton, the auction 

was forced to adapt following 

the Christchurch earthquakes, 

The auction was first held in the 

Holy Trinity church, and moved after the earthquakes.

“We’re so proud that two decades on, 

it’s still going strong, and still something 

we all look forward to. We have an 

amazing community” 

Caro Davidson, one of the founding organisers 

relocating to several unusual 

venues including the basement 

of the local supermarket and 

The Loons theatre. Apart from a 

missed year in 2020 due to the 

Covid-19 pandemic, the event has 

continued to thrive. 

For the past decade, the event 

has found a home at Lyttelton 

Primary School, where the entire 

top floor is transformed into a 

contemporary pop-up gallery. 

“The Auction is about more than 

raising money,” says Jenny Felton, 

Principal of Lyttelton Primary. 

“It represents the creativity, 

resilience, and community spirit 

that make Lyttelton special. We’re 

incredibly grateful to the artists, 

volunteers, and families who have 

kept this tradition alive for over 

20 years.” 

Join us at the Gala 

Night & Live Auction 

with Joe Bennett 

Sunday, 2 November, 7pm 

Art lovers, join us for an evening of 

art, bidding, and entertainment 

with the charismatic Joe Bennett 

as auctioneer. 

Tickets available at Humantix and 

our website peninsula-art.co.nz 

This year’s auction will feature two 

original sketches by Bill Hammond 

going under the hammer: an Untitled 

sketch from his 2011 Cornwall Rd Series 

(above), and Untitled (2008), featured on 

the front cover. 

Bill Hammond’s 

Enduring Gift 

Often described as New Zealand’s 

greatest contemporary painter, Lyttelton 

legend Bill Hammond was not only 

a visionary artist but also a generous 

benefactor of local education. 

Despite his private nature, Bill 

was always willing to contribute, 

donating a stunning original 

work to the Peninsula Art Auction 

every event. 

His creativity and generosity have 

left a lasting legacy in the 

classrooms of Lyttelton Main, 

Lyttelton West, St Josephs, and now 

Lyttelton Primary, where generations of 

children have been inspired by his art 

and example. 

The Lyttelton Education Charitable 

Trust remains deeply grateful to 

both Bill and his widow, Jane, for their 

decades of unwavering support.

Fourteen artists participated 

this year. Workshops 

ranged from cardboard 

constructions and sewing 

collages, to experimental 

wood printing and helping 

design a mural for the 

Lyttelton Community Garden. 

“It’s a reflection of what 

makes Lyttelton special— 

a community that comes

Fresh ideas, full flavours 

Fresh focaccia, a zesty dip and 

bright pea salad makes a vibrant 

spring lunch, writes Nigel Slater 

HERB FOCACCIA WITH GREEN 

OLIVE, BURNT LEMON AND 

THYME DIP 

If you happen to have a 

jar of sourdough starter in 

the fridge, add a couple of 

tablespoons when you add the 

yeast. Grilling the lemon gives 

the juice a more mellow, lightly 

toasted flavour. 

Ingredients 

Serves 2-4 

For the focaccia 

400ml warm water 

2 tsp easy-baked dried yeast 

1 tsp sea salt 

1 tsp caster sugar 

500g strong white bread flour 

6 Tbsp olive oil 

1 Tbsp thyme leaves 

sea salt flakes 

You will also need a high-sided 

baking tin, about 24x24cm 

For the dip 

1 large lemon 

250g stoned green olives 

1 Tbsp thyme leaves 


 

Method 

• Put the water and yeast into 

a large mixing bowl and add the 

salt and sugar. If you are adding 

sourdough starter, do so now. 

• Mix in the flour by hand or 

with a spatula. Add 2 Tbsp of 

the olive oil and mix into the 

dough. Cover the bowl with 

a tea towel and refrigerate 

overnight (I like to give the 

dough a good eight hours). 

• Next day, when the dough 

has risen to about twice its 

original size, chop the thyme 

leaves and add them into the 

dough along with another 

2Tbsp of the oil. 

• Lightly oil the baking tin 

and turn the dough out into 

it. Push the dough to fit the tin 

with your fist, gently pushing it 

almost into the corners. 

• Wrap the tin in a cloth and 

place in a warm spot for about 

an hour until it has risen to 

twice its size. Set the oven to 

220degC. When the oven is 

ready, push 12 or so hollows 

into the dough with your finger, 

scatter the surface with sea salt 

and bake for 30 minutes until 

golden. Remove from the oven 

and pour the remaining oil 

over. 

• For the dip: Get a small 

griddle pan hot. Cut the lemon 

in half and place cut side down 

on the griddle. Leave until the 

underside is toasted, even a 

little blackened, then remove 

and squeeze the juice. 

• Put the olives in a food 

processor with the thyme 

leaves, and process until finely 

chopped. 

• Pour in the olive oil then, 

finally, 4 Tbsp of lemon juice. 

Check the seasoning — you may 

need a little black pepper. Serve 

with the warm focaccia. 

PEA SALAD WITH RICOTTA 

AND LEMON 

A soft, sharp and creamy salad 

with the crunch of peas and 

crisp, raw radishes. 

Ingredients 

Serves 3 as a light salad 

For the ricotta 

2 cloves young garlic 

250g ricotta 

4 Tbsp natural yoghurt 

1 tsp finely grated lemon zest 

For the salad 

200g peas, podded weight 

2 handfuls (about 150g) peas in 

their pod (or mangetout) 


2 large handfuls pea shoots 

2 Tbsp pine kernels 

6 radishes, halved 

For the mint oil 

12-15 mint leaves 

75ml olive oil 

Method 

• Peel the garlic and crush to a 

paste with a tiny pinch of salt. I 

use a small pestle and mortar for 

this, but the flat blade of a knife 

or the back of a spoon will do. 

• Mix together the ricotta and 

yoghurt to give a loose paste, 

then stir in the garlic and the 

finely grated lemon zest. Add 

a little coarsely ground black 

pepper. 

• Have a bowl of iced water to 

hand. Bring a deep pan of water 

to the boil, salt it lightly, add 

both lots of peas and cook for 3-4 

minutes, then drain and plunge 

into iced water. This stops them 

cooking and keeps their colour 

bright. 

• Drain and shake them dry 

(you could use a salad spinner). 

Toss the peas in the olive oil. 

• In a dry pan, toast the pine 

kernels until pale gold in colour. 

Keep them moving round the 

pan so they colour evenly, and 

keep an eye on them, as they are 

easy to burn. 

• Blitz the mint leaves and 

olive oil in a food processor or 

blender, adjusting to a pouring 

consistency with a little water. 

Season lightly with salt. 

• Put the ricotta dip on a 

serving dish, add the peas, pea 

shoots and radishes. Scatter with 

the toasted pine kernels and 

trickle the mint oil over.

Plans under way for 

2026 Community 

Awards Programme 

The Sumner Ferrymead 

Foundation’s Community Awards 

Programme is an annual event 

that provides a range of awards 

for community clubs, groups and 

organisations that reside within 

the foundation’s catchment area – 

from Taylors Mistake through to 

Mt Pleasant, around to Heathcote 

and across to Brookhaven. 

The five awards were originally 

offered in 2024 to celebrate 

the foundation’s 30 years of service 

to the local community. The 

response was so successful, the 

trustees made it an annual event. 

“To continue to offer the Community 

Awards Programme we 

will need to find sponsors” said 

foundation chair Martin Hawes. 

“We have had wonderful support 

from local individuals and 

businesses who have sponsored 

our Scholarships & Awards Programme 

for individuals, enabling 

us to off a range of scholarships 

and awards each year. 

“We would like to replicate this 

with the Community Awards Programme 

too, and would love to 

hear from anyone who could help 

us help our local community.” 

The recipients of last year’s 

awards were: 

• $10,000 Major Award: 

Sumner Community Pool 

• $5000 Environment 

Award: Sumner Community 

Residents Association 

• $5000 Sports Award: 

Heathcote Cricket Club 

• $5000 Arts & Culture Award: 

Sumner Silver Band 

• $5000 Education Award: 

Kahukura Charitable Trust 

“There is a consistent theme 

amongst the winners from 2025,” 

said trustee Andrew Clark, who 

led the Community Awards selection 

panel. 

“It’s not just the club or 

organisation that benefits from 

the award, but the broader 

community does too. 

“Be it a pool the community can 

use, improved cricket grounds 

all can use, music at community 

events, a cleaner, greener 

environment. . . We’re fortunate 

to live in a community with so 

many resources we can tap in to.” 

• Application forms for the 2026 

Community Awards Programme, along 

with the individual academic and 

Outward Bound scholarships plus the 

Apprentice Award, will be available at 

sumnerferrymeadfoundation.co.nz from 

early January

Te Aratai College: 

How We Celebrate Our Diverse Cultures and Community 

At Te Aratai College we have four uara-values that we 

use to inform what is important in the teaching and 

learning that occurs in our space. 

The uara that we hold dear and celebrate are: 

Manaakitanga, Whanaungatanga, Rangatiratanga and 

Tūrangawaewae. They embody our way of being and 

we encourage and practise our uara in everything we 

do, from our school philosophy through to our teaching 

spaces, curriculum and relationships. As we near the end 

of the school year, we would like to recognize some of 

our senior leaders who have embodied and championed 

our ngā uara. 

We start with Tūrangawaewae as the basis of our 

learning. When a student feels a sense of belonging, they 

can then begin to build on the other uara. In our tohulogo 

we see Tūrangawaewae in the base, the waka we 

share and navigate together. 

Year 13 student Maddi Scott has exemplified the value 

of Tūrangawaewae in her compassion and deep sense 

of purpose. Her business venture, The Purple Project 

(advocate and fundraising for mental health), was 

recently named the Canterbury Ōtākaro South Regional 

Winner for Challenge 3: Promotion and Sales, in the 

Young Enterprise Scheme. This achievement reflects 

Maddi’s entrepreneurial tenacity, and commitment to the 

wellbeing of others. Maddi’s appearance on Seven Sharp 

about her project, poignantly underscored the strength 

of her convictions. Through The Purple Project, she has 

shown what it means to stand proudly in one’s place, the 

essence of Tūrangawaewae, and enriching it to make a 

positive difference in the lives of others. 

Maddie with her L3 

Business Kaiako, 

Lukas Davidson 

Manaakitanga and Whanaungatanga are symbolized 

in our logo as the awa-rivers, representing the 

Ōtākaro and Ōpāwaho rivers, either side of the 

central maunga-mountain. Manaakitanga is the 

process of showing respect, generosity and care for 

others. Whanaungatanga is the bond through shared 

experiences, providing people with a sense of belonging. 

Ākonga who epitomise these uara are at the heart of 

what makes a community. 

Year 13 Service Kahui Prefect Smriti Parajuli exemplifies 

the value of Whanaungatanga through her commitment 

to fostering connection, belonging, and service within 

our school and wider community. As an integral member 

of the committee that organised this year’s Festival of 

Nations, Smriti helped bring together students, whānau, 

and community to celebrate the diverse cultures that 

enrich Te Aratai College. Her leadership and teamwork 

reflected the spirit of unity and mutual respect that 

Whanaungatanga embodies. Beyond this, Smriti has 

twice received the Te Aratai College Community 

Service Award and has been an active member of the 

Acts of Kindness Collective (AKC), a group dedicated 

to community service projects such as caring for 

the school environment and visiting residents at Aldwins 

House retirement home. Her warmth and empathy 

have strengthened connections across generations 

and cultures. We are immensely proud to congratulate 

Smriti on recently being awarded the prestigious Milford 

Foundation Scholarship for 2026—one of only 

fifteen students selected nationwide. This scholarship, 

which provides financial support, mentoring, and 

internship opportunities, is a well-deserved recognition 

of her excellence and encouraging whanaungatanga. 

Smriti outside the 

kura 

Fatemah Ahmadi is a prefect who exemplifies the Te 

Aratai College value of Manaakitanga through her 

commitment to supporting and uplifting others while 

pursuing personal growth. She dedicated four days of 

her Term 2 holidays to participate in Young Enterprise’s 

annual ‘Entrepreneurs in Action’ Weekend, an intense, 

fast-paced program where students collaborate 

with peers they have just met to tackle back-to-back 

business challenges. Fatemah’s willingness to 

engage wholeheartedly in this immersive experience 

demonstrates her respect for the efforts and ideas of 

others, as well as her readiness to contribute positively 

to a team under pressure. Beyond entrepreneurship, 

Fatemah has also supported and represented 

her school through creative expression, being an active 

member of the Te Aratai College spoken word team 

at WORD: The Front Line Ōtautahi Grand Slam, and 

achieving second place in the Senior Creative Writing 

Competition. 

Fatemah with 

Principal Maria 

Lemalie-Herbert 

Rangatiratanga is our final uara. Rangatiratanga is 

associated with sovereignty but extends to leadership, 

autonomy, and self-determination. In our tohu-logo we 

recognize the central maunga-mountain as Pae Maunga 

- Kā Tiritiri o Te Moana, the Southern Alps. The line in 

the middle represents the pathway our students take on 

their journey; their self-actualisation, the lofty mountain 

to which they strive and aspire. 

Māori Kahui Prefect Rangitohiora Paringatai-Dallas 

has encapsulated the value of Rangatiratanga through 

his exceptional self-determination and commitment 

to excellence. His recognition as the Kaitātaki Tane 

o te Rohe o Waitaha and the presentation of the 

Kaitātaki Tane taonga from Te Pā o Rākaihautū 

mark a momentous occasion for Te Aratai 

College and our community. This prestigious 

taonga, awarded to the outstanding male leader 

in Kapa Haka across Waitaha, acknowledges 

Rangitohiora’s dedication, discipline, and passion 

for te ao Māori. His accomplishment epitomises the 

essence of Rangatiratanga, believing in oneself, 

upholding personal and collective mana, and taking 

responsibility for one’s learning and growth. 

Rangitohiora at the 

Waitaha Secondary 

School Haka 

Competitions 

Charlotte Williams, one of our Head Students, is 

another fine example of Rangatiratanga in her pursuit 

of excellence on the world stage. Representing 

Te Aratai College and New Zealand at the 2025 

World 8-Ball Pool Championships in Ennis, Ireland, 

Charlotte demonstrated not only skill and discipline 

in her sport but also the courage to step into a global 

arena and lead by example. Her dedication inspires 

her peers to strive for their own goals, showing 

that true leadership is about setting a standard and 

embracing responsibility. By competing at the highest 

level while proudly carrying her school’s reputation, 

Charlotte embodies the essence of Rangatiratanga: 

principled dedication that uplifts both herself and 

her community. 

Charlotte at the 2025 

World 8-Ball Pool 

Championships 

This is only a small selection of the accomplishments 

of our Student Leadership Team, and the entirety 

of the Y13 seniors. There has been so much to 

celebrate and so much more to come. We are 

delighted and proud of all that our uara contribute to 

our learners’ positive pathways.

Kia’s EV5 pairs 

bold design 

with everyday 

practicality 

Rating out of 10: Performance 7, Handling 7, Build Quality 8, Comfort 7, Space 8, Styling 7, Value for money 7, 

Safety 5-star ANCAP rating 

Overall points out of 10: 7.5 

Kia’s all-electric family has 

expanded again, this time with 

the arrival of the distinctivelooking 

EV5, a model that’s big 

on style, practicality, and value 

for money, priced from $67,990. 

This all-new model follows the 

lead of its larger sibling, the EV9 

wagon, which launched in 2024. 

The compact EV5 benefits 

from a local tuning and 

engineering program to better 

suit New Zealand’s challenging 

roads, terrain, and weather 

conditions. 

Both the EV5 and the recently 

launched and much-hyped EV3 

share the bold design language 

of the EV9. 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

The EV5’s styling, however, 

has proven to be somewhat 

polarising, based on the level of 

unsolicited feedback I received 

from people keen to share their 

opinions. 

Reactions were mixed, and 

Kia will be hoping the look 

stands the test of time – no 

small feat in an industry 

where design trends can shift 

overnight. 

The five-model range starts 

with the Light ($67,995) and 

tops out with the GT-Line 

($85,450). 

Two different drivetrains are 

available, depending on the 

variant. The Light and Light+ 

are front-wheel drive only, 

while the mid-spec Earth adds 

an all-wheel-drive option. 

The GT-Line sits at the top, 

loaded with luxury features 

such as a panoramic sunroof, 

a premium relaxation driver’s 

seat with massage function, and 

an eight-speaker sound system. 

It even includes a console 

box with heating and cooling 

functions. 

The $70,450 Light+ provided 

for this road test hits the valuefor-money 

sweet spot in the 

lineup, offering plenty of kit 

and the best bang for your Kia 

EV buck. 

A five-year/150,000km 

factory warranty is standard – 

not the most generous on the 

market these days, with some 

Chinese brands now offering 

10-year coverage – while 

the battery is backed by an 

eight-year/160,000km warranty. 

A new-generation battery 

delivers a claimed range of 

443km for the Light, which 

increases to 492km in the 

Earth. 

In real-world driving, expect 

about 25-30% less than these 

figures. Range depends heavily 

on driving style, terrain, and 

load. Also hills, in particular, 

are no friend of EVs. 

The EV5 helps offset this 

with an effective brake energy 

recovery system, which 

captures energy during braking 

and feeds it back into the 

battery. 

All EV5s use the same 88kWh 

battery, paired with either a 

single or dual electric motor 

setup – the latter exclusive to 

the high-end GT-Line. 

The single-motor version 

produces 160kW and 310Nm, 

which isn’t headline-grabbing 

but provides enthusiastic 

performance around town and 

confident acceleration on the 

open road. 

Throttle response feels 

sharper than the modest 

0-100km/h time of 8.9 seconds 

suggests, while the singlespeed 

automatic transmission 

operates smoothly in the 

background. 

Inside, the EV5 offers a 

spacious, practical cabin, with 

up to 1714-litres of load space 

(rear seats folded) and an 

additional 67l in the front boot. 

Adjustable cargo hooks keep 

bags from tipping over, and 

up front there’s a panoramic 

29-inch integrated display, 

made up of a 12.3-inch digital 

instrument cluster and a 12.3- 

inch multimedia system. 

The graphics will change 

according to the selected drive 

mode – Normal, Sport, Eco, or 

Snow. 

The EV5 is also the first Kia 

to feature Kia Connect, an app 

that turns your smartphone into 

a remote control for the car. It 

allows remote locking, climate 

control, and even real-time 

vehicle tracking. In the event of 

a crash that triggers the airbags, 

Kia Connect automatically 

contacts a 24/7 call centre. 

Another first is the inclusion 

of over-the-air (OTA) updates, 

which enhance key vehicle 

systems such as the powertrain, 

battery management, and 

driver-assistance features. 

Android Auto and Apple 

CarPlay are standard across the 

range. 

Kia has also packed in 

a comprehensive suite of 

advanced driver-assistance 

systems, including forward 

collision avoidance assist, smart 

cruise control, lane follow assist, 

and lane keep assist. 

With MacPherson struts at the 

front and five-link suspension 

at the rear, the EV5 delivers a 

composed and comfortable ride, 

soaking up patchy and potholed 

surfaces with ease. 

The steering is responsive and 

well-weighted, rounding out a 

chassis that feels more refined 

than expected for a vehicle not 

built on a dedicated EV platform. 

The EV5 shares the same 

platform as the Kia Sportage 

that runs petrol engines, and 

hybrid power trains. Against 

this background it makes 

the transition to life as a 

fully-fledged electric vehicle 

exceptionally well.
