Sumner School celebrates cultural diversity<br />
The annual Christchurch Primary Schools Cultural Festival was held last week at Horncastle<br />
Arena, with at least 40 Christchurch primary and intermediate schools celebrating their cultural<br />
diversity with a spectacular smorgasboard of multi-cultural performances. Pupils from Sumner<br />
School and Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> School Te Kura o Te Waipapa also took part in the experience.<br />

Redcliffs & Governors <strong>Bay</strong>s<br />
‘Antisocial<br />
behaviour’<br />
upsets<br />
Moncks <strong>Bay</strong><br />
residents<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
YOUTHS PARTYING into<br />
the early hours of the morning,<br />
littering and even defecating<br />
near a car park in Moncks <strong>Bay</strong><br />
is causing tension within the<br />
community.<br />
In a letter to the Linwood-<br />
Central-Heathcote Community<br />
Board, the Redcliffs Residents<br />
Association said it had received a<br />
number of complaints from residents<br />
living on Main Rd and Cliff<br />
St about some of the “antisocial<br />
behaviour” at the car park which<br />
sits next to the Christchurch<br />
Yacht Club.<br />
The association has said cases<br />
of loud music and noise keeping<br />
residents awake throughout the<br />
night has got noticeably worse<br />
over the past year. It has also received<br />
reports of part of the beach<br />
surrounding the car park being<br />
littered on and even used as a<br />
toilet. Youths have also been seen<br />
entering Cliff St to use the red<br />
zone for toileting purposes.<br />
The association wants the city<br />
council to consider installing a<br />
chain to prevent cars using the car<br />
park at night.<br />
It also wants a temporary<br />
Portaloo to be installed at the car<br />
park. • Turn to page 3<br />

Treated Akaroa wastewater<br />
will be used to irrigate trees<br />
Barrier being<br />
considered to<br />
prevent entry<br />
TREATED Akaroa wastewater<br />
will be used to irrigate native<br />
trees in the area.<br />
The Akaroa treated wastewater<br />
options hearings panel has<br />
concluded its deliberations on<br />
four options for dealing with the<br />
wastewater.<br />
The panel,<br />
comprising<br />
Christchurch<br />
city councillors<br />
Sara Templeton,<br />
Mike<br />
Davidson and<br />
Sara<br />
Pauline Cotter,<br />
and Banks<br />
Peninsula<br />
Templeton<br />
Community Board chairwoman<br />
Tori Peden and member Nigel<br />
Harrison, considered 343 written<br />
and 65 oral submissions on<br />
the topic.<br />
Akaroa’s wastewater system is<br />
old and needs to be replaced.<br />
City council staff sought community<br />
feedback on four options<br />
for dealing with highly treated<br />
wastewater from a new plant<br />
already consented to be built on<br />
Old Coach Rd.<br />
Three of the options involved<br />
using highly treated wastewater<br />
to irrigate new areas of native<br />
trees and one to continue discharging<br />
it into Akaroa <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
via a new outfall.<br />
The panel unanimously supported<br />
irrigating native trees<br />
and chose the Inner <strong>Bay</strong>s option<br />
(Robinsons <strong>Bay</strong>, Takamātua and<br />
Hammond Point) over Goughs<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> or Pompeys Pillar.<br />
The panel members agreed the<br />
Inner <strong>Bay</strong>s option as outlined in<br />
the consultation booklet needed<br />
additional recommendations.<br />
This is to enable smaller storage<br />
ponds and to future proof<br />
the system so that a purple pipe<br />
reuse system can be added in<br />
future, when regulations allow.<br />
Templeton said she agrees<br />
with submitters that a sustainable<br />
development approach is<br />
needed and wants the council to<br />
work towards this.<br />
“However, the current framework<br />
doesn’t support this, so we<br />
need to lobby central government<br />
with other agencies and<br />
Ngāi Tahu, to set standards for<br />
non-potable reuse of treated<br />
wastewater.<br />
“In the meantime, we need to<br />
act on the current situation and<br />
if standards are not set, the default<br />
position for council simply<br />
cannot be a harbour outfall.”<br />
Reducing the impact on the<br />
communities of Takamatua and<br />
Robinsons <strong>Bay</strong> is important and<br />
both city council and Akaroa<br />
residents need to play their part,<br />
she said.<br />
“We need to fix the pipes and<br />
work towards reuse and Akaroa<br />
residents need to treat the precious<br />
water supply as the taonga<br />
REUSE: The city council<br />
is looking at wastewater<br />
options for Akaroa.<br />
that it is – to conserve it and<br />
lower the impact of their waste<br />
on their neighbours.”<br />
The panel has recommended<br />
that the city council actively<br />
works with regulators to make it<br />
possible for purple pipe systems<br />
to be introduced in New Zealand.<br />
“This has been an extremely<br />
difficult project and has involved<br />
a lot of hard work by many<br />
people over many years, and I<br />
thank everyone for their efforts,’’<br />
Templeton said.<br />
“I know the community will<br />
want to stay involved in this project<br />
and we have recommended<br />
a community reference group be<br />
established.’’<br />
The full recommendations will<br />
be available online this week.<br />

Community Board chairwoman<br />
Alexandra Davids said work was<br />
currently being done behind<br />
the scenes at the city council to<br />
resolve some of the concerns of<br />
the community.<br />
“This is an issue that has been<br />
going on for a while. We already<br />
have got security guards going<br />
down the road and locking up<br />
different areas of concern,” she<br />
said.<br />
Davids also said the city<br />
council was planning to install<br />
a barrier which would prevent<br />
vehicle entry into the car park at<br />
night.<br />
However, Davids did not think<br />
temporary toilets would be a<br />
good idea for the area.<br />
“We know there is an<br />
issue there but we would not<br />
support putting in Portaloos<br />
because you get high winds in<br />
the area and you also get silly<br />
people that want to push them<br />
over which is not conducive to<br />
anything.<br />
“There are already toilets in<br />
the area at Barnett Park. We will<br />
make sure once the barrier is<br />
put in we will get some signage<br />
installed on it.”<br />

to the deterioration of the clarity<br />

Fencing and plantings will<br />
protect the banks of the springfed<br />
stream against erosion and<br />
keep the water temperature<br />
cooler for the tuna, eels and bullies<br />
in the stream.<br />
The shade provided by the<br />
plants will help decrease weed<br />
species in the stream and the<br />
habitat will be more suitable for<br />
kōura/freshwater crayfish, which<br />
have been spotted in the catchment.<br />
Since 2016, more than $60,000<br />
of Immediate Steps biodiversity<br />
funding has been allocated to the<br />
project, as recommended by the<br />
Christchurch West Melton Water<br />
Zone Committee.<br />
Paired with the IMS funding<br />
and city council, contributions<br />
GROWTH: Landowners and community members helped to plant 2500 natives at<br />
Cashmere Stream. <br />
through labour, resource and<br />
assistance, the total value of the<br />
restoration project is around<br />
$668,930.<br />
“There was a lot of work that<br />
went into preparation of the<br />
site by our group members,<br />
landowners, Christchurch City<br />
Council, Ravensdown and<br />
Environment Canterbury,”<br />
Cashmere Stream Care Group<br />
chair Ken Rouse said.<br />
“It’s been a long journey but<br />
it’s great to see the outcome<br />
with well-established trees and<br />
the final round of plants in the<br />
ground.”<br />
Protecting Cashmere Stream<br />
remains a priority for the health<br />
of the waterways throughout<br />
the catchment, including the<br />
Heathcote/Ōpāwaho River<br />
downstream, CWMWZC chair<br />
Kevin Brown said.<br />
“Seeing a project like this run<br />
so well and so collaboratively has<br />
been really inspiring.”<br />
Taylors Mistake<br />
lifesaving<br />
clubrooms<br />
The Taylors Mistake and<br />
South Brighton clubrooms are<br />
due to open either before or just<br />
after Christmas and the foundations<br />
are being poured for New<br />
Brighton’s new facility now.<br />
SLNZ South Island manager<br />
Stu Bryce said each clubhouse<br />
will have Wi-Fi to update rescues<br />
instantly and community<br />
spaces.<br />
“They are definitely well needed.<br />
They were all built in the 50s<br />
or 60s with volunteer time.<br />
“They’re at the end of their<br />
useful life. The earthquake<br />
didn’t help, it probably speed the<br />
process up by about five or 10<br />
years.”<br />
Christchurch beachgoers will<br />
need to stay out of trouble for the<br />
next two weeks until voluntary<br />
surf lifeguards start patrols.<br />

Dave Bryce of<br />
the Redcliffs/<br />
Te Rae Kura<br />
Eco Village<br />
group says it<br />
is focusing on<br />
resilience.<br />
IN NOVEMBER, the Redcliffs-Te<br />
Rae Kura Eco Village Group initiative<br />
is focussing on Resilience.<br />
The term “resilience” refers to<br />
the ability to survive and adapt to<br />
changes in society or the environment.<br />
Being prepared for emergencies<br />
helps us recover quicker when<br />
disasters strike.<br />
There are many risks to be aware<br />
of including: heavy rain, hail,<br />
snow, flooding and landslides; sea<br />
inundation from tsunami and sea<br />
level rise; strong winds, falling<br />
trees and wildfires; earthquakes,<br />
liquefaction and rockfall; droughts;<br />
extreme heat and cold, and job<br />
loss.<br />
Our basic needs are water, food,<br />
shelter, power, skills and money.<br />
Water is essential, you can<br />
survive for weeks without food,<br />
but only days without water. Emergency<br />
tap water storage is essential<br />
and roof water storage can provide<br />
a back-up.<br />
Food in the form of fresh vegetables<br />
and fruit may be available if<br />
you have a garden, but you should<br />
also have emergency supplies of<br />
canned and dry foods.<br />
Our primary shelter is our home.<br />
Make it safe from risks or have<br />
another place to retreat to like a<br />
campervan or a friend’s home.<br />
Power is essential for cooking,<br />
communications and light. Have<br />
a back-up alternative if electricity<br />
should fail, like gas or wood burner<br />
for cooking and heating, solar<br />
panel or generator or batteries for<br />
radios, phones, fridges, lights and<br />
battery charging, and candles and<br />
matches for light. Basic skills like<br />
first aid, gardening, cooking, sewing<br />
and building, often come in<br />
handy in emergencies.<br />
Always have some savings “for<br />
the rainy day”, and note that cash<br />
can be used without electricity!<br />
We have local response and<br />
resilience teams in our communities<br />
(eg www.redcliffs.org.nz and<br />
www.mpcc.org.nz) which can<br />
provide extensive details of being<br />
prepared for emergencies; getting<br />
your whānau/ family/household to<br />
safety; how to help others in your<br />
neighbourhood and community;<br />
what to keep in your emergency<br />
kit; and information on who to<br />
contact in an emergency. If you,<br />
or your family have a disability or<br />
special requirement visit https://<br />
getthru.govt.nz<br />
Check them out now . . . before<br />
there’s an emergency.<br />
Our pledge on resilience for <strong>2020</strong><br />
is … “get familiar with your local<br />
resilience plans.”<br />

Smiths City moving with the times<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
SMITHS CITY has officially<br />
settled into a new home after<br />
more than 100 years serving<br />
Cantabrians from its former<br />
central city location.<br />
The iconic furniture and appliance<br />
retailer opened its new<br />
flagship store in The Colombo,<br />
Sydenham, last week, a site<br />
previously occupied by Spotlight<br />
until last year.<br />
It also rebranded with a new<br />
logo to reflect the beginning of a<br />
new era.<br />
Chief executive Tony Allison<br />
was excited with the launch and<br />
said the relocation to Sydenham<br />
was for a more “local approach,”<br />
and to be in the heart of a community,<br />
rather than the central<br />
business district.<br />
Decisions behind the move<br />
were a combination of the store’s<br />
ownership change earlier this<br />
year and the expiry of their former<br />
Colombo St store’s lease in<br />
the coming months.<br />
It was now owned by Colin<br />
Neal, of Polar Capital.<br />
“It’s a great opportunity. We’ve<br />
been in big cities, but we moved<br />
to feel more local and to get<br />
amongst the suburb which is<br />
more like us going forward,” said<br />
Allison.<br />
“The retail experience has<br />
also been lifted. The look, the<br />
NEW ERA: Smiths City chief executive Tony Allison at the new flagship store in The<br />
Colombo.<br />
textures, the colours – everything’s<br />
a lot more vibrant now, I<br />
believe.”<br />
Shoppers can expect a modern<br />
and inviting atmosphere, new<br />
fixtures, an updated product<br />
range and interactive events.<br />
The new premises is nearly<br />
half the size of the former site,<br />
downsizing from 6600 sq m to<br />
3233 sq m.<br />
A “smile” was embedded in its<br />
new logo to celebrate what it is<br />
to be Kiwi – “warm, straight up,<br />
and honest,” – while delivering<br />
its services with a “cheeky” grin.<br />
New beginnings meant new<br />
approaches to how services were<br />
delivered.<br />
“In retail, everyone looks<br />
over their shoulder to see what<br />
everyone else is doing, they go –<br />
how do we outcompete them?”<br />
he said.<br />
“We want to do the opposite,<br />
when everyone else is zigging,<br />
we want to zag. We want to be<br />
honest, Kiwi retailers, with good<br />
service, that know our products<br />
and tell you honestly what the<br />
[product] is going to do.<br />
“We don’t want to bamboozle<br />
customers with buzzwords and<br />
specs to try and get the sale, we<br />
want to do the right thing by the<br />
customer.”<br />
Allison was concerned about<br />
the future in spite of the new<br />
store.<br />
“If you don’t have concerns at<br />
this time with what’s going on,<br />
you’re probably not thinking<br />
hard enough,” he said.<br />
“We’ve got to be mindful<br />
of what’s happening with the<br />
economy and be prepared.”<br />

LITTLE BLUE penguins<br />
are native to New Zealand<br />
and are the smallest of all<br />
world’s penguin species,<br />
and without a doubt, the<br />
cutest of all.<br />
Not that you are likely<br />
to spot them easily as they<br />
only come on shore after<br />
dark and leave again before<br />
daylight. They will spend<br />
the day fishing and have<br />
been spotted as far as<br />
20km offshore to do so.<br />
At the end of the day,<br />
they gather in groups (or<br />
rafts) waiting for darkness<br />
before quickly making<br />
their way to their nests.<br />
These can be in burrows,<br />
under dense vegetation or<br />
between rocks but some<br />
of you living near the<br />
shoreline may have been<br />
lucky enough to spot a nest<br />
underneath your house,<br />
garage or even in your<br />
woodpile.<br />
Nesting begins in July<br />
and one to two eggs are<br />
tended to by both parents<br />
who will turns-about keep<br />
eggs and chicks safe and<br />
warm for a day while the<br />
other will go out fishing.<br />
Eggs are laid between<br />
July and mid-<strong>November</strong><br />
and occasionally a pair will<br />
produce a second clutch<br />
in one season. Would it<br />
not be a shame if we lose<br />
our last few remaining<br />
breeding pairs around the<br />
estuary?<br />
Not that long ago they<br />
were commonly found<br />
but increased housing<br />
and roading development<br />
have resulted in the loss<br />
of habitat for the little<br />
blues. With increased<br />
populations we also<br />

Wine<br />
Port is complex on the palate<br />
• By Mark Henderson<br />
PORT IS a fortified wine from<br />
the Douro Valley in northern<br />
Portugal.<br />
Its history dates back more than<br />
300 years to the wars between the<br />
English and the French, which<br />
curtailed the supply of wine from<br />
France.<br />
Enterprising English merchants<br />
began looking further afield and<br />
began shipping the dark and powerful<br />
wines from Portugal.<br />
To maintain the wine’s freshness<br />
and stability on the journey<br />
to England, brandy spirit was<br />
added to the barrels of wine - its<br />
higher alcohol affording greater<br />
protection against spoilage.<br />
At some point, brandy spirit<br />
was added to the still fermenting<br />
wine, and port was born.<br />
The grape must (the mix of<br />
grape juice and grape skin) is run<br />
into fermentation vessels, with<br />
fermentation allowed to proceed<br />
for barely a couple of days.<br />
The addition of neutral spirit<br />
then kills the yeast, arresting fermentation<br />
and thus retaining the<br />
natural grape sugars in the wine,<br />
while also extracting colour and<br />
flavour from the skins.<br />
In the final wine, spirit makes<br />
up roughly 20 per cent of the volume,<br />
leading to an alcohol level<br />
ranging from 18-20 per cent.<br />
Tawny ports take their name<br />
from the colour of the wine,<br />
resulting from ageing and controlled<br />
oxidation of the wine.<br />
Unlike the boldly fruit-driven<br />
Ruby, LBV and Vintage styles,<br />
Tawny styles offer mellow, nutty,<br />
“rancio” characters, classically<br />
paired with nuts and blue cheese,<br />
or contemplatively sipped by<br />
themselves.<br />
Burmester Jockey Club<br />
Tawny Reserve Port<br />
Price: $46-$47<br />
Rating: Very good to excellent<br />
Caramel/butterscotch, raisins,<br />
spices/clove, walnut with a<br />
sherry-like hint.<br />
This offers a sweet golden<br />
syrup-like character with toffee<br />
apple and creme brulee “burnt<br />
sugar” echoing on the palate.<br />
The overt sweetness pares back<br />
with aeration, while crispness<br />
grows, bringing this into a nice<br />
place.<br />
Shows more aged tawny characters<br />
than fruit.<br />
www.burmester.pt<br />
Taylors Fine Tawny Port<br />
Price: $37-$39<br />
Rating: Very good<br />
Bonfire smoke, charry notes,<br />
burnt toffee, boot polish, spiced<br />
fruit. Creamy and viscous,<br />
mouthfilling, there’s sweetness<br />
here, yet a tangy undercurrent,<br />
too.<br />
As it opens up, there’s stewed<br />
plums, berryfruit and sultanas,<br />
flowing to a smoke and walnut<br />
accented close.<br />

Price: $37-$39<br />
Rating: Excellent to outstanding<br />
Subtle yet attractively expressed<br />
nose with toffee, walnuts,<br />
spices and fruit cake, a little wood<br />
smoke with time. Sweetness<br />
initially, but drier overall with<br />
freshness and crispness driving<br />
the palate adding nuts, spices and<br />
dried fruits.<br />
There’s excellent complexity<br />
here with time adding a rancio<br />
nuance. Nicely balanced, rich,<br />
mouthfilling and full of appeal.<br />

Creamy and rich on entry, the<br />

Tasty Bites<br />
Stuffed spuds make a tasty change<br />
THE POTATO really is a<br />
versatile vegetable. It can be<br />
mashed, chipped, scalloped, and<br />
boiled, or more, and it makes an<br />
excellent shell in which to bake<br />
a tasty filling to create stuffed<br />
spuddies.<br />
You can pre-cook the potatoes<br />
in the oven; they will take an<br />
hour or so depending on the size.<br />
Be sure to prick them with a fork<br />
or the tip of a knife first as they<br />
can — and do on occasion —<br />
explode and make an awful mess.<br />
If you want to speed it up a<br />
bit, place the well scrubbed and<br />
pricked potatoes in the microwave<br />
until they start to feel soft.<br />
Four fist-sized potatoes will take<br />
at least 10min.<br />
Then just pop them in a preheated<br />
oven for 10min or so to<br />
crisp up the skin. It is also wise to<br />
scoop out the flesh while they are<br />
still warm.<br />
Each of the following recipes<br />
will fill four fist-sized potatoes.<br />
Ham, Cheese and Corn-<br />
Filled Potatoes<br />
Ingredients<br />
4 potatoes, cooked<br />
½ onion<br />
25g butter<br />
200g of canned creamed corn<br />
½ cup frozen peas<br />
2 big tablespoons sour cream<br />
80g tasty cheese plus extra to<br />
grate over the top<br />
100g diced ham<br />
Directions<br />
Melt the butter in a frying pan<br />
and add the finely diced onion.<br />
Cook until soft.<br />
Slice a side off the cooked<br />
potato and scoop the middle into<br />
a large mixing bowl, being careful<br />
not to break the skin. Cut the<br />
potato flesh roughly with a knife<br />
so that it is in smallish chunks.<br />
Thaw the peas in the microwave<br />
and add to the potato filling<br />
along with the cooked onion,<br />
creamed corn, sour cream, grated<br />
cheese and ham. Mix thoroughly<br />
but gently so that you don’t mash<br />
it all up. Season well with salt and<br />
pepper.<br />
Pile the filling ingredients back<br />
into the waiting skins. You will<br />
have loads of filling so pile it high<br />
and then top with a little extra<br />
grated cheese.<br />
Place in a 200 deg C oven for<br />
15min to warm through.<br />
Cheese and Onion Souffle<br />
Potatoes<br />
Adding beaten egg whites to<br />
the filling makes for a lighter<br />
filling. Be sure to eat them immediately<br />
upon removing from the<br />
oven.<br />
Ingredients<br />
4 potatoes, cooked<br />
50g butter<br />
1 large onion<br />
3 tblsps cream or milk<br />
50g parmesan cheese plus extra<br />
to sprinkle on top<br />
2 eggs<br />
salt and pepper<br />
a small handful of finely<br />
chopped parsley<br />
Directions<br />
Cut the onion into a fairly<br />
small dice and place in a pot<br />
with the butter. Let them cook<br />
together gently until the onion is<br />
really soft but not coloured. This<br />
will take 10-15min.<br />
Cut the top off the potatoes<br />
and scoop the middles into a<br />
large bowl. Mash with a fork<br />
until smooth and add the cooked<br />
onion, cream or milk, grated parmesan,<br />
chopped parsley. Season<br />
generously with salt and pepper.<br />
Mix well.<br />
Separate the eggs and mix the<br />
yolks into the potato mixture.<br />
Whisk the whites to firm peaks<br />
and fold into the potato using a<br />
metal spoon.<br />
Spoon the filling back into the<br />
skins and top with the extra parmesan<br />
cheese. Bake at 200 deg C<br />
for 20min.<br />
Kumara with Bacon and<br />
Orange Filling<br />
Ingredients<br />
4 large kumara<br />
100g bacon<br />
1 orange<br />
2 tblsp cràeme fraiche<br />
salt and pepper<br />
grated cheese to sprinkle on<br />
top<br />
Directions<br />
Scrub the kumara and bake<br />
until soft. As with the potatoes<br />
you can speed this up by placing<br />
them in the microwave to give<br />
them a head start.<br />
When they are cool enough to<br />
handle, slice of a side and scoop<br />
the middle into a mixing bowl.<br />
Chop roughly. Fry the slices of<br />
bacon until they are crispy and<br />
chop finely.<br />
Finely grate the orange rind<br />
and squeeze the juice out of half<br />
of it. Add to the chopped kumara<br />
along with the bacon, sour cream<br />
and some salt and pepper.<br />
Mix together and pile into the<br />
skins. Top with the grated cheese<br />
and warm through for about<br />
15min in an oven that has been<br />
preheated to 180 deg C.<br />

keep it local<br />
and support businesses in your community<br />
Mentoring the next<br />
generation<br />
Well, it’s official. From today Julian<br />
Harding Jewellery in Lyttelton has<br />
expanded services to include barbering!<br />
So Gentlemen - here’s the perfect<br />
opportunity to get a haircut and find that<br />
special little Christmas gift all under one<br />
roof.<br />
Jules has been a part of Canterbury’s<br />
jewellery industry for over 40 years,<br />
with latter years spent running his own<br />
business. During this time he has earned<br />
a strong reputation for his beautiful<br />
creations and confident ability to repair,<br />
alter and remodel any existing jewellery.<br />
It’s this success in business and his<br />
wealth of knowledge that makes<br />
Jules the perfect person to train<br />
and guide an upcoming hair<br />
cutting entrepreneur.<br />
“Vasa is a great barber. He’s<br />
cut my hair. I’m pleased I am<br />
able to offer him space in the<br />
store to collaborate and learn<br />
the in’s and out’s of running<br />
a business as well as offering<br />
haircuts to the locals of<br />
Lyttelton,” said Jules.<br />
Prior to settling in<br />
Christchurch, Vasa ‘BOSS<br />
Barber’ Toleafoa had been<br />
barbering in Auckland for two years and<br />
says he is immensely grateful to have an<br />
opportunity to learn how to run his own<br />
business with someone as experienced as<br />
Jules.<br />
“To start I will be here every<br />
Wednesday from 10am to 5pm,” said<br />
Vasa. “I love cutting hair and love to see a<br />
client’s first reaction to their new look.”<br />
To schedule a BOSS Barber<br />
appointment text or call Julian at 027<br />
486 2855. Seniors $10, Kids (12-17)<br />
$15, and Adults $20.<br />
As unbelievable as it sounds, there’s<br />
only seven weeks to Christmas, but<br />
according to Jules, still time to wow<br />
with a stunning gift. Browsing the<br />
store is recommended as there is a<br />
lovely assortment of jewellery ready<br />
to wrap.<br />
There may also be time to have<br />
something special created so call in<br />
and discuss your requirements now.<br />
But especially for Christmas, Jules<br />
has an order of 1 carat diamonds<br />
arriving.<br />
“The 1ct stones will be available to<br />
purchase on their own, or I can make up<br />
a simple setting for Christmas morning,”<br />
said Jules. “The recipient can then have it<br />
remodelled however they wish at a later<br />
date”.<br />
Jules is usually on site, but recommends<br />
phoning to book consultations. He is<br />
also open Saturdays during the Lyttelton<br />
Market.<br />

Opinion<br />
What it takes to attract<br />
businesses to Christchurch<br />
By Liz Eden<br />
Attracting new businesses to<br />
Ōtautahi Christchurch is a key<br />
economic development activity<br />
aimed at growing and sustaining<br />
high-value decent jobs in our<br />
great city.<br />
Tauranga, has had ten-years of<br />
comparative normality to attract<br />
both people, businesses and<br />
investment. Meanwhile,<br />
Christchurch has been<br />
rebuilding, adapting and<br />
repositioning, with the future<br />
firmly in mind.<br />
ChristchurchNZ does this by<br />
letting business decision makers<br />
located in New Zealand and<br />
around the world in on<br />
Otautahi’s best kept secret<br />
– the unique local business<br />
environment that enables<br />
growth and wellbeing<br />
for companies and employees.<br />
I believe strongly that<br />
Christchurch has a lot to offer.<br />
Originally from the UK, I moved<br />
to Christchurch from Auckland<br />
because of my wife’s work with<br />
the Christchurch Symphony<br />
Orchestra. The lifestyle benefits<br />
and the ability to buy our own<br />
home were compelling and echo<br />
the stories we hear from many<br />
young professionals, who make<br />
the move.<br />
The future looks bright for<br />
business in Christchurch and<br />
while for obvious reasons <strong>2020</strong><br />
wasn’t the jumpstart to a new<br />
decade we had hoped for, we<br />
remain well positioned to<br />
promote our competitive<br />
advantages. The diversity of<br />
Canterbury’s economy has<br />
provided resilience and our<br />
community support networks<br />
are strong.<br />
Our competition is strong too<br />
and the Golden Triangle of<br />
Auckland, Hamilton, and<br />
What does<br />
Christchurch offer?<br />
Resilience, diversity,<br />
connectivity, talent and a strong<br />
innovation ecosystem.<br />
These values are what we<br />
promote through our storytelling<br />
about this city and through the<br />
work we prioritise. For example,<br />
earlier this year we strengthened<br />
that innovation ecosystem<br />
through a significant investment<br />
into start-up and scale-up<br />
business incubation programmes<br />
that will create dozens of<br />
businesses and high value jobs.<br />
We are resilient<br />
This city and its people have been<br />
through several life changing<br />
events. Businesses here know<br />
how to operate under stressful<br />
conditions. People were brought<br />
together under extraordinary<br />
circumstances and had to help<br />
one another. Our economic<br />
diversity and culture of<br />
acceptance has provided space<br />
for everyone to succeed.<br />
There are few cities globally that<br />
can offer this economic and<br />
social resilience. COVID-19 has<br />
given New Zealand a global<br />
platform that we must capitalise<br />
on to demonstrate this resilience<br />
to adversity.<br />
As New Zealand’s newest city, Christchurch is a place<br />
where innovation is encouraged and problem solving<br />
seems to be in the blood.<br />
‘Selling’ Christchurch’s lifestyle isn’t a tough gig. This city has a lot to offer. But the real<br />
work is illustrating the city’s best kept secret – the opportunity for a business to grow.<br />
Our connectivity and the<br />
connections forged through<br />
adversity also makes<br />
Christchurch an easy place to do<br />
business. We often talk about<br />
ease of doing business in a<br />
logistical sense – an international<br />
airport and port do have appeal,<br />
including significantly less traffic<br />
than the other major centres.<br />
I firmly believe that these values<br />
alone place Christchurch on an<br />
even playing field with<br />
other cities.<br />
But there’s more<br />
Young professionals can pay 50<br />
per cent less for their home than<br />
if they lived in Auckland. Salary<br />
bands can be 5 to 10 per cent less<br />
for most professions or are<br />
equivalent if you are a doctor,<br />
teacher or physio.<br />
These cost efficiencies are<br />
applicable to businesses too –<br />
commercial and industrial<br />
property generally cost less here.<br />
We use this data to open<br />
conversations with influential<br />
decision makers but it’s the<br />
workforce that will be real<br />
deciding factor.<br />
Cost efficiencies will never be<br />
reason enough for a business to<br />
move – Amazon selected Seattle<br />
because of the links with the<br />
University of Washington.<br />
We foster world class talent<br />
We work with our tertiaries to<br />
ensure our graduates can access<br />
high-value jobs and for our<br />
businesses to have access to<br />
world-class talent. Our four<br />
tertiaries are outstanding and<br />
create real opportunity for<br />
businesses moving here to tap<br />
into their knowledge economy.<br />
Having those four tertiaries<br />
already hugely benefits the<br />
city’s start-up ecosystem.<br />
Christchurch is a place where<br />
innovation is encouraged and<br />
problem solving seems to be in<br />
the blood. A history of resilience<br />
has created problem solvers.<br />
As mentioned above<br />
ChristchurchNZ has invested<br />
in the Te Ōhaka and ThincLab<br />
incubator programmes to<br />
facilitate job creation. Plus<br />
there’s the incredible work of<br />
EPIC, Saltworks, Webtools and<br />
many specialist industry-bodies<br />
that really support and<br />
drive innovation.<br />
We are future focused<br />
Canterbury has Supernodes –<br />
these industry clusters possess<br />
strong global growth opportunity<br />
matched with existing regional<br />
strengths and capabilities.<br />
Our Supernodes are health tech,<br />
aerospace and future transport,<br />
food fibre and agritech, and<br />
hi-tech solutions. Projects such<br />
as the Health Tech challenge<br />
facilitate an innovative mindset<br />
among our population, our<br />
education sector and our<br />
industries, aligning talent and<br />
education goals. They also<br />
gain national and international<br />
attention which aids our<br />
business attraction work.<br />
There are significant<br />
opportunities that this city must<br />
now embrace. ChristchurchNZ<br />
is committed to bringing<br />
business to our region that will<br />
provide sustainable high value<br />
jobs and make our home even<br />
more attractive. I hope you’ll<br />
help me tell our great City story<br />
to the world.<br />

Birds of Aotearoa New Zealand<br />
- Collective Nouns<br />
by Melissa Boardman<br />
A beautifully illustrated book featuring New<br />
Zealand Aotearoa’s native birds, each with<br />
its very own collective noun.<br />
A whistling of whio? A loot of weka? A<br />
tussock of takahe?<br />
This is a book for children, adults and birdlovers<br />
alike. These collective nouns reveal<br />
something about the character of our birds, so we can<br />
get to know them better. Birds of Aotearoa New Zealand:<br />
Collective Nouns also contains information on how our<br />
birds live, so we can better help them.<br />
New Zealanders: The Field Guide<br />
by Tom Sainsbury<br />
A guide to the weird and wonderful inhabitants of New Zealand, and<br />
the places you’ll find them.<br />
After years of mimicking celebrities and Kiwi stereotypes on social<br />
media, comedian Tom Sainsbury has compiled all his favourite<br />
character types into a book. His array of Kiwi heroes includes the<br />
useless Farmhand who is forever jack-knifing the trailer, the Martyr<br />
Mother who constantly guilt-trips her children, and the Officious New<br />
Zealander who loves narking on his office co-workers for the mildest<br />
of misdemeanours. All these descriptions are lovingly collated into a<br />
concise, easy-to-use field guide that’ll give you an in-depth insight<br />
into the people of Aotearoa.<br />

BMW M235i – it’s all in the name<br />
THE LENGTHY name lends<br />
itself to all manner of vehicle<br />
types.<br />
The car I’m referring to is<br />
BMW’s M235i xDrive Gran<br />
Coupe, also described by BMW<br />
as a fastback sedan.<br />
That’s quite a mixture, so I’ll refer<br />
to it simply as the M235i, and<br />
in reality it does cover all those<br />
bases, its compact four-door<br />
sedan concept does have coupetype<br />
styling.<br />
What’s more, because it carries<br />
an M badge it is a performance<br />
car which squarely sits in the<br />
sport sedan category, and you’d<br />
expect nothing less from BMW,<br />
the M235i is a car which tugs<br />
at the senses, oozing style with<br />
its low, sleek shape, and it has<br />
performance to envy through a<br />
225kW engine.<br />
The M235i’s design is curvy yet<br />
aggressive, it has a shape which<br />
lures comment and desire, yet it<br />
also has practicality which doesn’t<br />
always present itself with coupe<br />
designs. The latter is particularly<br />
noteworthy, there is easy entry<br />
and egress up front, the doors<br />
aren’t overly wide so they aren’t a<br />
nuisance in close confines, while<br />
there’s also the benefit of reasonable<br />
leg room for those who are<br />
confined to the rear seats. Also, it<br />
EXTREME:<br />
The M235i’s<br />
coupe-type<br />
design<br />
incorporates<br />
a fastback<br />
rear.<br />
must be said that the boot space<br />
is cavernous, it runs deep to the<br />
rear seats and is easy to load.<br />
At the other end sits a heavily<br />
boosted turbocharged fourcylinder<br />
engine. Herein, lies a<br />
bit of a surprise, in contrast to<br />
BMW’s decades of longitudinal<br />
engineering preference, it sits<br />
transversely in the engine bay.<br />
Drive is effectively channelled<br />
through to the front-wheels, until<br />
xDrive automatically engages<br />
drive rearwards when slipping up<br />
front is detected.<br />
Not only is the engine powerful<br />
up the top end, there is also a<br />
hefty 450Nm of torque to experience,<br />
the combination results in a<br />
solid punch when the accelerator<br />
is given some weight, there is<br />
an exhaust bark and throb that<br />
sounds delightful, especially in<br />
sport mode where the decibels<br />
are increased markedly.<br />
The M235i is fast for a 2-litre<br />
car. It will scorch to 100km/h<br />
from a standstill in 4.8sec, and<br />
will lunge through an 80km/h to<br />
120km/h overtaking manoeuvre<br />
in 4sec thanks to a strong turbo<br />
surge and high mid-range torque<br />
output.<br />
The gearbox is a traditional<br />
eight-speed automatic and it can<br />
be manipulated through steering<br />
BMW M235I: Vivid performance from turbocharged 2-litre engine.<br />
wheel-mounted paddle shifters.<br />
Between the engine and transmission<br />
the M235i stands out for<br />
solid performance through the<br />
rev band and, of course, there’s<br />
always a gear on hand, there’s<br />
never a feeling that the transmission<br />
is not in a suitable ratio. That<br />
is the benefit eight-speeders offer,<br />
the gaps between ratios are close<br />
allowing the engine to work in its<br />
optimum range.<br />
Of course, the M235i doesn’t<br />
need to be driven aggressively, but<br />
when it is it feels strong, akin to<br />
the performance aspect of BMW.<br />
However, at city speeds it is docile<br />
and feeds power gently so that<br />
stop-start traffic is relaxing.<br />
• Price – BMW M235i<br />
xDrive Gran Coupe,<br />
$91,400<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4526mm; width,<br />
1900mm; height,<br />
1420mm<br />
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />
four-wheeldrive,<br />
1998cc, 225kW,<br />
450Nm, eight-speed<br />
automatic<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 4.8sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 7.6l/100km<br />
It is also relatively fuel efficient<br />
given there is a lot of excitement<br />
under the bonnet. According to<br />
BMW the M235i can achieve a<br />
combined cycle rating of 7.6-litres<br />
per 100km. My time with the test<br />
car resulted in a 9.4l/100km average<br />
which wasn’t that far distant,<br />
along with a 5.2l/100km highway<br />
cruise figure with the engine<br />
turning over very relaxed at just<br />
1750rpm at 100km/h.<br />
Even though the M235i is effectively<br />
front-wheel-drive it has<br />
natural handling along with steering<br />
that is weighted perfectly to<br />
pick up the feel of what the tyres<br />
are doing in relation to the road<br />
surface. Every nuance is delivered<br />
back to the driver so that he or<br />
she understands the handling<br />
characteristics and how the car is<br />
behaving.<br />
BMW is strong on safety, the<br />
electronic devices which control<br />
traction are there so that the entire<br />
car stays stable under power.<br />
However, the chassis is so advanced<br />
that the car doesn’t rely on<br />
the safety devices, it can be driven<br />
hard yet grip is rarely challenged.<br />
The low profile Bridgestone<br />
Potenza tyres (235/35 x 19in)<br />
have a solid tenure with the road<br />
and, what’s more, they are quiet<br />
and have a remarkable amount of<br />
absorption through the narrow<br />
sidewalls so that ride comfort isn’t<br />
overly compromised.<br />
The spring and damper rates<br />
within the fully independent<br />
front-strut/rear multiple link<br />
set-up default to a comfort setting<br />
but are adjustable to the driver’s<br />
command through a series on<br />
in-cabin push-buttons.<br />
The M235i is a true driver’s car<br />
and rewards with its lithe and<br />
nimble nature and don’t forget it<br />
has the glitz to go with the glamour,<br />
it has all the major specification<br />
ingredients in the first<br />
instance, along with an extensive<br />
option list.<br />
At $91,400 it does carry a<br />
premium price, but what that<br />
doesn’t take into account is that<br />
along with its title it is more than<br />
one car, every drive is a rewarding<br />
experience, and no matter<br />
whether you drive it soft or hard,<br />
it always feels so good to be in.

134a Riccarton Road. Next to Riccarton Mall<br />
THE BEST PLACE TO SELL YOUR STAMPS, COINS,<br />
BANKNOTES and SCRAP GOLD in Christchurch.<br />
The Stamp and Coin Exchange on Riccarton Road, next<br />
to Westfields Mall, has been looking after Cantabrian<br />
Collectors for many years. The Owner, Matt Power is<br />
a born and bred Cantabrian and has over 40 years of<br />
experience.<br />
My whole focus is to look after the client and make sure<br />
they get the best result for their Stamps, Coins, Banknotes<br />
and Gold. It has been my passion since I was six years old. I<br />
was milking cows to pay for my regular trips to the Stamp<br />
and Coin events in Christchurch, on the bus from Rangiora, even at that<br />
early age. With me, you will get genuine and honest advice on the value<br />
of your collections and holdings.<br />
Owner, Matt Power<br />
Gold and Silver are at ALL TIME highs and the Stamp and Coin market is<br />
actually stronger now than ever, in no small part due to Covid 19, as<br />
people stay home and re discover their hobbies. So, now is a great time<br />
to sell!<br />

of happy customers and suppliers.<br />
