Covid<br />
scuppers<br />
plans for<br />
Woolstore<br />
building<br />
• By Jess Gibson<br />
A MAJOR development planned<br />
for Lyttelton has been derailed<br />
due to impacts from the Covid-19<br />
pandemic.<br />
The Woolstore building on<br />
Te Ana Marina was set to be<br />
transformed<br />
into a<br />
hospitality<br />
and retail<br />
space by<br />
high profile<br />
developers<br />
the Peebles<br />
Group.<br />
Head of the<br />
group Richard<br />
Richard<br />
Peebles<br />
Peebles said work was “effectively<br />
under way” on the project before<br />
the lockdown.<br />
But after discussions with<br />
Lyttelton Port Company,<br />
which manages and owns the<br />
marina, there was a mutual<br />
decision to end their arrangement<br />
around plans for the building.<br />
“All the designs and things were<br />
done but that’s irrelevant really,<br />
Covid has got in the middle. It’s<br />
not the right time,” Mr Peebles<br />
said.<br />

Guidance on cruise ships<br />
anchoring in Akaroa <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
Jim Dilley<br />
ENVIRONMENT Canterbury<br />
has issued guidance to cruise<br />
ship masters and operators<br />
wanting to anchor in Akaroa<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> from November 2021.<br />
ECan previously gave vessel<br />
operators until October 31, 2021,<br />
to undertake independent scientific<br />
studies to demonstrate that<br />
they can comply with a set of<br />
rules, otherwise they would not<br />
be permitted<br />
to anchor.<br />
This included<br />
proving<br />
they were not<br />
causing adverse<br />
environmental<br />
effects,<br />
showing they<br />
have applied<br />
ANCHORED: Environment Canterbury has provided further<br />
guidance on permitted cruise ship activity to mitigate the<br />
predicted lack of data<br />
for consent to anchor and that<br />
the disturbance of the seabed<br />
would only be up to a volume of<br />
5m3.<br />
However, since giving notice<br />
of this requirement, the<br />
Covid-19 pandemic has created<br />
many uncertainties, with the<br />
ability to gather scientific data<br />
being limited during lockdown<br />
or when no ships are visiting.<br />
To mitigate the lack of available<br />
data, ECan has provided<br />
further guidance on permitted<br />
activity including the size of<br />
vessels, and the associated number<br />
of visits that may be made<br />
within any 12-month period,<br />
without breaching rules regarding<br />
seabed disturbance.<br />
This guidance has been issued<br />
to help provide clarity to the<br />
community, vessel operators<br />
and businesses during the current<br />
period of uncertainty.<br />
Said ECan’s regional harbourmaster<br />
Jim Dilley: “By issuing<br />
this guidance 16 months early,<br />
we are clearly communicating<br />
which vessels we believe comply<br />
with the rules well in advance of<br />
the deadline. If we are provided<br />
with scientific data to the contrary,<br />
we will review our guidance<br />
and make any necessary<br />
changes. What this guidance<br />
aims to do is provide certainty<br />
about which cruise ships may<br />
visit Akaroa <strong>Harbour</strong> from<br />
November 1, 2021 – without it,<br />
that was likely to be none due to<br />
the lack of available data.”<br />
The potential disturbance<br />
of the seabed by vessel anchors<br />
and a reduction in water quality<br />
at Akaroa has been an ongoing<br />
matter of public discussion and<br />
community concern.<br />
ECan has worked with<br />
rūnanga, community groups<br />
and the cruise industry to<br />
identify measures that will<br />
address these issues.<br />
In October 2<strong>01</strong>9 an<br />
independently commissioned<br />
Ecological Risk Assessment<br />
on the impact of cruise ships<br />
operating in Akaroa <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
was released.<br />
Mr Dilley said preliminary<br />
findings were that “any potential<br />
effects can be appropriately<br />
managed.”<br />
However, Mr Dilley also noted<br />
that “the available research<br />
is not sufficient to provide a<br />
definitive answer”, which is why<br />
he recommended the further<br />
research be conducted.<br />
In Brief<br />
RETAINING WALL<br />
A new retaining wall will be<br />
installed on the westbound lane of<br />
Brittain Tce to support a slope. City<br />
council contractors will carry out<br />
the work until late August. There<br />
will be some noise disturbance, the<br />
road will be reduced to one lane<br />
and some street-side parking will<br />
be unavailable around the site. For<br />

RUGBY CLUB GRANT<br />
The Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />
Community Board has approved a<br />
$4000 grant towards the Sumner<br />

rugby tournament and coaching<br />
programme. The first beach<br />
tournament was held last year<br />
with 10 schools and saw positive<br />
feedback from people involved,<br />

Breast cancer patient to<br />
host Pink Ribbon event<br />
DUVAUCHELLE resident<br />
Leanne Fergusson has received<br />
an outpouring of support since<br />
being diagnosed with breast<br />
cancer earlier this year.<br />
And now, she’s become inspired<br />
to do the same for others.<br />
The 45-year-old<br />
mother of four is hosting<br />
a Pink Ribbon event this<br />
month, with funds going<br />
towards the Breast Cancer<br />
Foundation NZ.<br />
Last year more than<br />
525 breakfasts were held<br />
in Canterbury, and now<br />
Mrs Fergusson is urging<br />
others to get on board.<br />
“I’m excited. It’s a way<br />
for me to give back to an<br />
organisation doing such<br />
good work for people with breast<br />
cancer.”<br />
She is planning an afternoon<br />
tea in Akaroa with a few other<br />
women in her community who<br />
have also had this disease.<br />
“I’m looking forward to getting<br />
together with others who have<br />
been through this journey and<br />
sharing our experiences.”<br />
Mrs Fergusson was sitting at<br />
home watching television one<br />
evening in February when she<br />
discovered a lump in her right<br />
breast.<br />
After having her surgery postponed<br />
for three weeks because of<br />
Covid-19, she had to wait until<br />
late April before she could have<br />
the lump removed, and has just<br />
started her first round of chemotherapy.<br />
She said the generosity<br />
she has seen from<br />
her community since<br />
her diagnosis has been<br />
amazing.<br />
“My fridge is bursting<br />
at the seams because<br />
so many people<br />
have made meals for<br />
us, and I’ve had so<br />
many offers of help<br />
with the housework<br />
after my surgery.<br />
Receiving so much<br />
kindness has really helped with<br />
my recovery and people have also<br />
been showing heaps of love for<br />
my fundraising efforts.”<br />
Mrs Fergusson set a target<br />
to raise $500 through her Pink<br />
Ribbon Breakfast but has already<br />
more than doubled it in the lead<br />
up to her event.<br />
Around 400 people in the Canterbury<br />
District Health Board<br />
area are diagnosed with breast<br />
cancer each year.<br />
With more than 3300 women<br />
across the country diagnosed<br />
Leanne<br />
Fergusson<br />
with breast cancer annually, and<br />
more than 650 a year still dying,<br />
the need for support is greater<br />
than ever.<br />
Breast Cancer Foundation<br />
NZ chief executive Evangelia<br />
Henderson said the organisation<br />
is grateful to everyone who<br />
is taking part in Pink Ribbon<br />
Breakfast.<br />
“This year, the Covid-19 situation<br />
has made life harder for<br />
breast cancer patients, so the<br />
need for support has never been<br />
higher.”<br />
“Thanks to the generosity of<br />
Kiwis up and down the country,<br />
we are able to continue our lifesaving<br />
work. The proceeds raised<br />
from Pink Ribbon breakfast will<br />
bring us one step closer to our<br />
vision of zero deaths from breast<br />
cancer. So, please get involved in<br />
whatever way you can.”<br />
•The Pink Ribbon afternoon<br />
tea will take place on <strong>July</strong> 19<br />
at 2pm in the Trinity Church<br />
Hall (next to Heartlands), 39<br />
Rue Lavaud, Akaroa.<br />

Braving the cold sea<br />
for a good cause<br />
THE Scarborough<br />
Dippers have kicked off<br />
their annual month-long<br />
challenge plunging into<br />
wintry waters for a good<br />
cause.<br />
For this year’s “wet<br />
<strong>July</strong>,” the group will brave<br />
Scarborough’s 9 deg C<br />
sea temperature at 7am<br />
every weekday morning,<br />
and at varying times on<br />
weekends, to raise money<br />
for Sumner and Taylors<br />
Mistake Surf Life Saving<br />
Clubs.<br />
It is the fourth year<br />
the dippers have run the<br />
challenge, and the group’s<br />
founder Kerry Newton says<br />
the number of participants<br />
continues to grow.<br />
She said it is because<br />
people have realised the<br />
benefits of cold water dipping<br />
and “welcomed the<br />
opportunity to raise money<br />
for local causes.<br />
“We started off with<br />
just four of us and this<br />
year we will have at least<br />
13 committed daily<br />
dippers, with several<br />
other people doing a<br />
wet-ish <strong>July</strong>, dipping<br />
when work and other<br />
commitments allow.”<br />
“The cold water rush is<br />
certainly addictive but it is<br />
also a great way to support<br />
DEDICATED: Scarborough Dippers Sharon Prutton,<br />
Sue Murray and Kerry Newton will be amongst<br />
several others taking part in this year’s wet <strong>July</strong><br />
challenge to raise money for Sumner and Taylors<br />
Mistake Surf Lifesaving Clubs.<br />

our local surf life saving<br />
clubs which do such a<br />
fantastic job keeping our<br />
beaches safe.”<br />
Ms Newton said two<br />
committed Scarborough<br />
Dippers are members of<br />
Sumner and Taylors Mistake<br />
Surf Lifesaving Clubs,<br />
which both often struggle<br />
to buy basic lifesaving<br />
equipment, especially as<br />
traditional fundraising<br />
events have been affected<br />
by Covid-19 restrictions.<br />
“Funds raised will be<br />
split between Sumner and<br />
Taylors Mistake and while<br />
Sumner will be using the<br />
money to buy equipment,<br />
Taylors Mistake will use<br />
the money to buy native<br />
plants for the surrounds of<br />
the new club.”<br />
Ms Newton said anyone<br />
can join the group at<br />
any time, but for those<br />
who prefer their <strong>July</strong>s to<br />
be warm and dry, they<br />
can support the cause by<br />
donating to the dipper’s<br />

Librarian’s fourth book<br />
nearly ready to publish<br />
SOME MIGHT recognise<br />
an echo of Redcliffs in a new<br />
murder romance novel being<br />
written by librarian turned<br />
author Stella Court.<br />
It will be her fourth book in<br />
a series set in the fictitious city<br />
of Salisbury, with much of the<br />
story taking place in the village<br />
of Filey.<br />
The backdrop resembles<br />
Redcliffs, where Court lives and<br />
works, as well as Christchurch.<br />
Court came to writing late<br />
after her career as a teacher<br />
and teacher trainer, both in<br />
Cambridge, England, and in<br />
Christchurch.<br />
When an earthquake brought<br />
her teaching career to an abrupt<br />
end, Court found herself armed<br />
with a background in languages,<br />
linguistics, and teaching.<br />
Needing a change of direction<br />
and a new career, writing and<br />
editing seemed the obvious<br />
answer to her question of “where<br />
to next?”<br />
Court said in academic life,<br />
writing plays a major role, from<br />
writing teaching materials to<br />
papers for conferences.<br />
“Teaching writing skills to<br />
students and teacher trainees has<br />
led me to teaching those same<br />
skills to new authors for the publisher<br />
I work for now. It’s a new<br />
EAGER: Redcliffs author Stella Court will be publishing her<br />
fourth book in a series inspired by life-changing earthquakes<br />
later this year.<br />
life that I really love.”<br />
Her experiences of living<br />
life with the backdrop of lifechanging<br />
earthquakes inspired<br />
her writing and from there, her<br />
characters took on a life of their<br />
own in her head.<br />
Now they write the stories for<br />
themselves.<br />
“People are constantly reminded<br />
of the fragility of their<br />
land, and the ever-present threat<br />
of portaloos and long-drops.”<br />
Her three published books,<br />
Shaken, Missing and Mirror, and<br />
all available at Redcliffs Village<br />
Library now.<br />
Court is waiting for “some<br />
kind of inspiration” to hit her<br />
before naming her new novel,<br />
which will be published later this<br />
year.<br />

Grant to keep young cyclist on track<br />
SUMNER CYCLIST Amelia<br />
Sykes has recieved a grant from<br />
Sumner Ferrymead Foundation<br />
to help purchase expensive<br />
equipment which will help her<br />
compete at the highest level.<br />
Amelia, a year-11 Avonside<br />
Girls’ High School student, is<br />
the fastest national track-cycling<br />
rider for her age.<br />
After having broken both a national<br />
individual pursuit record<br />
and a national team-sprint record<br />
earlier this year, her sights<br />
are now clearly set on a podium<br />
finish in <strong>July</strong> at the National<br />
Cycling NZ Track Series at The<br />
GENEROUS: Sumner<br />
Ferrymead Foundation<br />
trustee John Christensen<br />
(left) and chairman John<br />
Taylor present funds to<br />
young cyclist Amelia Sykes.<br />
Cambridge Velodrome.<br />
Her aim is to represent NZ at<br />
the Junior World Champs, the<br />
Commonwealth Games and she<br />
has a dream to race at the 2024<br />
Olympics.<br />
SFF chairman John<br />
Taylor said it was fitting for<br />
Amelia that trustee and Olympic<br />
hockey gold medallist John<br />
Christensen was at her presentation.<br />
Amelia presently competes in<br />
the under-17 grade for road and<br />
track cycling but next year she<br />
will move up to the under-19<br />
grade, and while that will more<br />
competitive, she will be able to<br />
enter more events.<br />
BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY<br />
Tanya Jenkins is the manager of the Avon-<br />
Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust, a non-profit<br />
organisation formed in 2002 to protect one of<br />
New Zealand’s most important coastal wetlands.<br />
Each week she introduces a new bird found<br />
in the estuary. Her column aims to raise the<br />
understanding of the values and uniqueness of the area.<br />
DEFENCE: It is not unusual for adult magpies to dive bomb<br />
people and dogs coming within their territory.<br />
PHOTO: PAUL CORLISS<br />
Playful magpie<br />
can also be a bully<br />
YES, WE all know the easily<br />
recognisable and noisy magpie.<br />
THis bird was introduced<br />
from Australia between 1864<br />
and 1874 for the purpose of<br />
controlling insect pests in New<br />
Zealand. I am sure they were<br />
quite happy about that as they<br />
settled quickly and multiplied to<br />
huge numbers.<br />
THey are spread across the<br />
country now, with the majority<br />
found between Kaikoura and<br />
Southland, anywhere between<br />
the coast and the foothills.<br />
They can be real bullies,<br />
especially during the nesting<br />
season when it is not unusual for<br />
adult birds to dive bomb people<br />
and dogs coming within their<br />
territory.<br />
From personal experience<br />
(including my dog) I can tell you<br />
that such an attack can actually<br />
be quite painful.<br />
Don’t bother swiping them<br />
away as it doesn’t work, instead<br />
move away fast and they will<br />
stop as soon as you have left<br />
their territory.<br />
But far worse is the fact that<br />
they are known to attack and kill<br />
smaller bird species mid-air as<br />
well as being observed stealing<br />
eggs and chicks of other bird<br />
nests.<br />
Their own nests are perched<br />
safely high in either pine, gum<br />
or macrocarpa trees around the<br />
estuary.<br />
A more adorable side of the<br />
magpie is the fact that they are<br />
super intelligent and unlike most<br />
bird species, they are playful as<br />
well.<br />
Young magpie can be seen<br />
rolling around the ground and<br />
play fighting with their siblings<br />
and parents and use any object<br />
they can find to play with.<br />
They also love to mimic<br />
sounds of other birds and it is<br />
recorded that a “pet magpie” was<br />
able to mimic 25 different bird<br />
species, could bark like a dog<br />
and neigh like a horse.<br />
Not surprising then that some<br />
people have adopted magpie as<br />
pets.

to the Covid-19 crisis.<br />
City councillors James Gough,<br />
Sam MacDonald, Catherine<br />
Chu, Phil Mauger, Aaron Keown<br />
and James Daniels have sent a<br />
letter to Mayor Lianne Dalziel<br />
asking her to lead a conversation<br />
as to how a zero per cent rates<br />
increase could be achieved this<br />

A wealth of fine pinot noirs<br />
• By Mark Henderson<br />
KIWIS ARE blessed with easy<br />
access to a wealth of great pinot<br />
noir, much of it from Otago.<br />
It can be easy to overlook the<br />
raft of pinot noirs that<br />
are produced north of these parts.<br />
Marlborough and North<br />
Canterbury have double the<br />
area of Central Otago devoted<br />
to pinot noir grapes and,<br />
while a swag of that goes into<br />
bubbles production, the volume<br />
remaining often means that<br />
pricing is very fair, as seen in<br />

The Light At The End Of The Day<br />
by Eleanor Wasserberg<br />
A family scattered. Lovers torn apart. A painting that unites<br />
them all. When Jozef is commissioned to paint a portrait of<br />
the younger daughter of Kraków’s grand Oderfeldt family,<br />
it is only his desperate need for money that drives him to<br />
accept. He has no wish to indulge a pampered child-princess<br />
or her haughty, condescending parents – and almost doesn’t<br />
notice Alicia’s bookish older sister, Karolina. But when he is<br />
ushered by a servant into their house on Kraków’s fashionable<br />
Bernady ska street in the winter of 1937, he has no inkling of the way his life<br />
will become entangled with the Oderfeldts’. Or of the impact that the German<br />
invasion will have upon them all.<br />
As Poland is engulfed by war, and Jozef’s painting is caught up in the tides<br />
of history, Alicia, Karolina and their parents are forced to flee – their Jewish<br />
identity transformed into something dangerous, and their comfortable lives<br />
overturned …<br />
Spanning countries and decades The Light at the End of the Day is a<br />
heart-breaking novel of exile, survival and how we remember what is lost.<br />
The Silent Wife<br />
by Karin Slaughter<br />
From the No.1 bestselling author comes a gripping new crime thriller featuring<br />
WILL TRENT and SARA LINTON.<br />
He watches.<br />
A woman runs alone in the woods. She convinces herself she has no reason to<br />
be afraid, but she’s wrong. A predator is stalking the women of Grant County.<br />
He lingers in the shadows, until the time is just right to snatch his victim.<br />
He waits.<br />
A decade later, the case has been closed. The killer is behind bars. But then<br />
another young woman is brutally attacked and left for dead, and the MO is<br />
identical.<br />
He takes.<br />
Although the original trail has gone cold - memories have faded, witnesses<br />
have disappeared - agent Will Trent and forensic pathologist Sara Linton must<br />
re-open the cold case. But the clock is ticking, and the killer is determined to<br />
find his perfect silent wife ...<br />

Engine options for trendy Suzuki Baleno<br />
I’VE ONLY been to India once,<br />
but once was enough to gauge the<br />
organisational skills that country<br />
needs to manage such a huge<br />
population.<br />
It’s that prowess that has<br />
filtered down to automotive<br />
manufacturing, Jaguar and<br />
Land-Rover are operated under<br />
Indian ownership and the Suzuki<br />
Motor Corporation is one of<br />
several manufacturers that has<br />
seen the value in manufacturing<br />
cars using Indian labour and<br />
technology.<br />
One model that comes off the<br />
Manesar manufacturing plant is<br />
Baleno, a mid-size hatchback that<br />
has been sold in New Zealand in<br />
its latest iteration since 2<strong>01</strong>7.<br />
The Baleno lands here in<br />
two variations, effectively<br />
there are two engine options,<br />
there’s a four-cylinder 1.4-litre<br />
naturally-aspirated engine and<br />
a turbocharged 1-litre threecylinder<br />
unit. Both variants<br />
– GLX and RS – have just had a<br />
mid-cycle makeover.<br />
The changes are only minor<br />
and mostly cosmetic, there’s a<br />
new grille and front bumper, new<br />
seat upholstery and minor trim<br />
changes. Suzuki also claims ride<br />
comfort enhancements and lower<br />
noise levels.<br />
The evaluation car was the RS<br />
variant, it also gets new wheels<br />
and LED headlamps. The RS is<br />
priced at $25,490 which makes<br />
wallet-friendly buying, but if you<br />
really want a Baleno and that was<br />
just a touch out of reach, the GLX<br />
variant sits at $20,750 ($21,990<br />
auto).<br />
For my money I’d be an RS<br />
buyer, not only are the power<br />
outputs higher – 82kW and<br />
160Nm against 68kW and<br />
130Nm – but I’ve got a penchant<br />
for three-cylinder engines. I<br />
once had a Star Media pool car<br />
for personal use and it was an<br />
Alto, the car that essentially<br />
started Suzuki’s three-pot engine<br />
programme.<br />
However, today’s engine is a<br />
far different proposition, it’s a lot<br />
smoother than ever before, and<br />
the harmonics which characterise<br />
the layout are all but engineered<br />
out of the vehicle.<br />
One of the reasons I like the<br />
configuration is the hearty<br />
torque structure, and if you add<br />
in turbocharged boost there is<br />
decisive throttle response from<br />
all points in the rev band. A lot<br />
of that is to do with the area at<br />
which torque is delivered, all<br />
SUZUKI BALENO RS: Turbocharged three-cylinder engine.<br />
of the way from 1500rpm to<br />
4000rpm, and it stops not that<br />
far distant from the point of peak<br />
power at 5000rpm.<br />
All those figures considered,<br />
there is a feisty feel underfoot,<br />
and with the Baleno weighing<br />
in light at just one tonne,<br />
the power-to-weight ratio is<br />
substantial.<br />
It’s enough to propel the<br />
Baleno to 100km/h in 10.5sec,<br />
and it will scamper through a<br />
highway overtake (80-120km/h)<br />
in 6sec.<br />
Drive is channelled to the<br />
front wheels through a six-speed<br />
automatic transmission, and it is a<br />
beauty with quick, smooth shifts.<br />
For those who like to be involved<br />
in the gearchange process,<br />
steering wheel-mounted paddle<br />
shifters provide a little bit more of<br />
that sporty feel.<br />
While the Baleno RS<br />
excites with its under-bonnet<br />
performance, it is still the fuel<br />
miser you would expect from<br />
Suzuki. It claims a 5.2-litre per<br />
100km (53mpg) combined cycle<br />
average. During my time with<br />
the test car the fuel usage readout<br />
constantly listed around 6l/100km<br />
(47mpg), while an instantaneous<br />
figure of 4l/100km (70mpg) is<br />
achievable on a highway cruise<br />
with the engine turning over at<br />
just 1950rpm at 100km/h.<br />
At all speeds the Baleno is<br />
comfortable and feels controlled.<br />
Steerage is informative while<br />
body balance in a corner is<br />
controlled. The suspension is<br />
relatively simplistic, but it does<br />
contain the ruts and bumps well<br />
and equips itself when loaded if<br />
• Price – Suzuki Baleno RS,<br />
$25,490<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
3995mm; width, 1745mm;<br />
height, 1470mm<br />
• Configuration – Threecylinder,<br />
front-wheeldrive,<br />
998cc, 82kW,<br />
160Nm, six-speed<br />
automatic<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 10.5sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 5.2l/100km<br />
a corner is presented a bit on the<br />
quick side.<br />
There’s been a lot of talk lately<br />
about vehicle safety, and I’m<br />
pleased to report that the Baleno<br />
has a five-star Australasian New<br />
Car Assessment Program rating.<br />
My wife always asks me how<br />
many air bags does any particular<br />
car have, and in the Baleno’s case<br />
there are six.<br />
The Baleno also gets a high<br />
level of kit for convenience.<br />
There’s satellite navigation,<br />
cruise control and speed limiter,<br />
keyless entry and ignition. Many<br />
of the control systems can be<br />
navigated through a central<br />
screen display, it also functions as<br />
rear view camera and will allow<br />
smart phone capability through<br />
Apple Car Play and Android<br />
Auto.<br />
That’s a lot of kit for a $25k car,<br />
and with the changes Suzuki has<br />
made through the facelift makes<br />
it even more appealing.
