MT PLEASANT resident and<br />
school teacher Leigh Barker<br />
is back in the classroom<br />
after coaching canoeist,<br />
Scott Martlew at the recent<br />
Paralympics in Tokyo.<br />
Barker describes the heat of<br />
training as “brutal,’’ saying it<br />
was a real shock to come from<br />
the depths of winter at home to<br />
the middle of summer in Japan.<br />
“Daily it was between 35-38<br />
degrees and Scott had to drink<br />
lots of water every session, all<br />
the coaches had umbrellas to<br />
shelter their athletes under, and<br />
ice water to help cool bodies<br />

Project<br />
under way<br />
to turn red<br />
zone land<br />
into berry<br />
garden<br />
• By Samantha Mythen<br />
WORK HAS started to turn<br />
abandoned Richmond Hill red<br />
zone land into a berry garden.<br />
The garden will be a place for<br />
the community to meet, forage<br />
and learn how to grow their own<br />
berries.Sumner<br />
Community<br />
Garden volunteer<br />
Paul Cragg,<br />
is spearheading<br />
the project.<br />
“Although<br />
level 4 lockdown<br />
didn’t help the Paul Cragg<br />
project, we’ve<br />
since got it off the ground,” said<br />
Cragg.<br />
“It distressed me every day<br />
when I walked, biked or drove<br />
past the empty and unused red<br />
zone land. I hope this will be a pilot<br />
project that will inspire others<br />
to apply to use red zone land too.”<br />
Cragg has been pottering in<br />
the garden since the start of this<br />
month. There have been two full<br />
working bees where members of<br />
the community have helped plant<br />
the first raspberry seedlings.<br />

THERE IS a great initiative<br />
happening on red zone land on<br />
Richmond Hill (see page 1).<br />
The Sumner Community<br />
Garden has enlisted a keen<br />
group of volunteers to turn the<br />
land into a berry farm.<br />
Paul Cragg from the community<br />
garden said it would<br />
often distress him when he saw<br />
the land unused for so long.<br />
Government red tape kept<br />
any plans on hold until the<br />
land went into city council<br />
control in July. The council<br />
then gave the okay for the<br />
berry farm.<br />
There have been two working<br />
bees since the start of the<br />
month, and the first raspberry<br />
seedlings have been planted.<br />
Plants, trees, herbs, compost,<br />
a table and time have been<br />
gifted to the project.<br />
A great effort all round.<br />

The Flower Show<br />
Little River Gallery 25 <strong>September</strong> – 26 October<br />
25 <strong>September</strong> – 26 October<br />
Celebrating the season’s proliferation of vibrant blooms,<br />
‘The Flower Show’ is a timely homage to Spring, interpreted by four<br />
artists who are all new to exhibiting at the Little River Gallery.<br />
What exactly do flowers show? For a careful observer they show the<br />
fragility and power within us. Flowers show us that regardless of our<br />
colours, shapes, characters, places we live in, we can bloom freely<br />
simply by allowing all that we are to shine. - Galina Kim<br />
Galina Kim is an award-winning Christchurch artist renowned for her<br />
contemporary acrylic and mixed-media works. Her artistic studies<br />
focused predominantly on textiles, and this influence is evident in<br />
her rich, visually tactile style that is distinctively her own.<br />
Motueka artist Kerry Fenton-Johns paints in both acrylic and<br />
oils, expressing her love of nature through her intricately detailed<br />
botanical paintings. Kerry paints mostly in a realistic style, inspired<br />
by the contrast of light and dark and the use of subtle tones in the<br />
natural world.<br />
Informed by her print and pattern design background, Nelson artist<br />
Georgina Hoby Scutt develops distinctive earthy colour palettes and<br />
paints with broad expressive brushstrokes. Working across a range of<br />
media, her work is primarily semi-abstracted landscapes, still life and<br />
portraits.<br />
Christchurch artist Harriet Millar’s works are hugely inspired by her<br />
love of New Zealand landscapes, flora and fauna. Painting mainly<br />
with acrylics, her interpretive style involves substantial layering of<br />
paint with thick loose strokes and hints of unexpected colour.<br />

The ongoing strong buyer demand for residential properties<br />
across New Zealand was amply demonstrated<br />
with the recent auction of a property in Diamond<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>, which sold at twice the RV (Rateable Value).<br />
Marketing the two-level property with harbour<br />
views were Lynette and Peter Hughan of <strong>Bay</strong>leys<br />
Christchurch. The couple was scheduled to run a<br />
four-week auction campaign starting with the first<br />
open home on Sunday August 8. However, as Lynette<br />
explains, it didn’t work out as planned.<br />
“Due to Covid, we were only able to run two open<br />
homes, but once the South Island came down to<br />
level 2, we had buyers who made private appointments<br />
to view this amazing property.”<br />
A solid, permanent material home with extra steel<br />
bracing for strength and future-proofing, the home<br />
was described as having many quality features and<br />
options. These included the lower level, which could<br />
be used as an apartment or extra living zone, with a<br />

Sweet fundraiser for Starship<br />
• By Samantha Mythen<br />
SEVEN-YEAR-OLD Lucy<br />
White from Charteris <strong>Bay</strong> is on a<br />
waiting list for heart surgery due<br />
to a shortage of intensive care<br />
beds. But it has not stopped her<br />
family from fundraising to help<br />
alleviate the shortfall.<br />
Starship’s Paediatric Intensive<br />
Care Unit (PICU) in Auckland<br />
is currently at critical capacity<br />
every 48 hours. It is the only<br />
dedicated children’s intensive<br />
care unit in the country, where<br />
the most critically ill and injured<br />
children are treated.<br />
Starship needs to raise $40<br />
million to meet its shortfall to fix<br />
the bed shortage and upgrade its<br />
PICU.<br />
Lucy’s mother Charlotte<br />
Easton said due to an<br />
overwhelming need for PICU<br />
beds, mostly due to the RSV<br />
virus, they needed to wait one to<br />
two months before Lucy could<br />
have her surgery.<br />
While they waited, they<br />
wanted to help with Starship’s<br />
fundraising efforts.<br />
As Lucy’s father Myles White<br />
has 100 beehives, the family<br />
decided to spend a weekend<br />
selling honey from their stall on<br />
Blackpoint Rd in Charteris <strong>Bay</strong>.<br />
They sold 43 jars and raised<br />
more than $600, all with the<br />
“incredible support” of the<br />

harbour community.<br />
Easton said Lucy, her first<br />
child, had been a “perfect<br />
pregnancy” and nothing<br />
“troublesome” had been picked<br />
up during her scans.<br />
It was a normal birth until<br />
they realised Lucy was not<br />
breathing and she needed to be<br />
resuscitated.<br />
Lucy was diagnosed with<br />
Williams Syndrome, a rare<br />
genetic condition affecting only<br />
one in 10,000 births.<br />
It is characterised by<br />
medical problems including<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>-view property auction sets new record<br />
spacious terrace providing extra entertainment space.<br />
“We had Auckland buyers very disappointed that they<br />
were in level 4 and were not able to come down to view<br />
the property,” Lynette says.<br />
“We had four registered couples ready to bid at the auction<br />
on Thursday, Sept 9. The auction was conducted<br />
by Conor Patton, <strong>Bay</strong>leys’ national auction manager,<br />
starting at 12pm with the pre-auction offer of $930,000.<br />
cardiovascular disease,<br />
developmental delays, learning<br />
challenges, and a highly social<br />
personality.<br />
The family took Lucy home<br />
after she was born with several<br />
oxygen tanks in tow.<br />
At five weeks old, Lucy and<br />
Easton were flown up to Starship<br />
on a “life flight” for emergency<br />
surgery. Lucy had a cardiac<br />
arrest on the operating table but<br />
the medical staff saved her.<br />
She had further surgery at<br />
15-months-old and has since<br />
travelled up to Auckland a<br />

“We had 26 bids, the average bid increment was $8,400<br />
and the winning bid increment was $9,000. The<br />
property is the only one to date that has sold 100 per<br />
cent above rateable value. After a real bidding war it<br />
sold under the hammer at $1,140,000.<br />
“We are delighted for the vendors and buyers after a<br />
very successful campaign, even through lockdown.”<br />

“We were told they didn’t<br />
know if she would get to age one<br />
but getting her to three would be<br />
great,” said Easton.<br />
“And yet, she’s now made it to<br />
seven.”<br />
Lucy is waiting for surgery<br />
because the stents in her<br />
descending aorta are too small<br />
and need to be replaced.<br />

“But Scott worked through it<br />
and we had good data coming<br />
back from each session on the<br />
water at the city of Komatsu, on<br />
the western side of Japan.<br />
“Our hosts, the Ishikawa<br />
Prefecture Government. Laid it<br />
all on for us. The training facility<br />
was just down the road from<br />
the local air force base so as we<br />
trained we could see fighter pilots<br />
taking off overhead every day.<br />
“It was amazing country<br />
but we were there to race and<br />
Scott was out on the water every<br />
day.<br />
“It’s one of the sacrifices we had<br />
to make to be there, as we were<br />
not even sure we would get to the<br />
Paralympics because of the rising<br />
rates of Covid infections in the<br />
country during the Olympics.’’<br />
Barker said this time it was<br />
very different from Rio in 2016.<br />
“There we had a big security<br />
presence around us all the time,<br />
reducing our exposure to any<br />
criminal elements, if you wanted<br />
to go sightseeing you needed a<br />
security plan, this time the security<br />
was all about keeping us safe<br />
from illness.<br />
“From the moment we got<br />
there, there were saliva tests daily<br />
and we were GPS-tracked wherever<br />
we went, it showed us if we<br />
were within 50-100m of a known<br />
infected person.<br />
“In the hotel we had a whole<br />
floor to ourselves, as we were<br />
isolated from the general public,”<br />
Barker said.<br />
When they moved to the<br />
official games village in Tokyo<br />
they had a great reception by the<br />
Paralympic New Zealand staff<br />
there.<br />
“We briefly shared a floor<br />
with the Wheelblacks but<br />

competition had finished.”<br />
Barker said he remembered<br />
with fondness the cardboard<br />
beds and firm mattresses in the<br />
village rooms and recalled the<br />
amazing amount of food on<br />
offer at the cafeterias.<br />
“The menus covered all the<br />
bases with all types of food on<br />
offer, 24/7.<br />
Getting between the village<br />
and the canoe racing venue at the<br />
Sea Forest waterway wasn’t the<br />
chore it had been in Rio, Barker<br />
said the canoe team quickly<br />
found the PNZ staff had a sevenseater<br />
van and so they booked it<br />
every day so that they reduced<br />
their risk of exposure to other<br />
athletes and games staff using the<br />
communal games buses.<br />
“We did it because we wanted<br />
to stay within our bubbles.”<br />
Once the games were over<br />

“They were great to be<br />

worked extremely hard and yet<br />
finished in fourth spot, just 30cm<br />

The solo parent of four said the<br />
first thing he did upon his return<br />
home last week was give his<br />
seven-year-old son his birthday<br />
presents.<br />
“I was sad when I missed<br />
his birthday last Saturday,<br />
but mum looked after him,<br />
and I watched online, he’s<br />
mad keen on Pokemon so I<br />
asked one of the support staff<br />
in Tokyo to see if she could pick<br />
me up some Pokemon stuff for<br />
his birthday which she a happily<br />
did, my other son is also keen<br />
on Anime so I had some gifts for<br />
him and the other children as<br />
well.”<br />
But there was no rest for<br />
Barker as he was back at school<br />
the next day.<br />
“While I was in MIQ I still had<br />
to work on training plans for<br />
Scott and also catch up on all the<br />
school work I had missed.”<br />
Barker teaches a variety of<br />
programmes at the school and<br />
said all this wouldn’t have been<br />
possible without support from<br />
Cashmere’s board of trustees,<br />
principal and SLT and staff for<br />
their great support.<br />
“I can’t say enough about the<br />
great people I met in Japan and<br />
the huge support from everyone<br />
here at home. It was great to hear<br />
about all the TV coverage we had<br />
on all the athletes.”<br />

approached Land Information<br />
New Zealand which originally<br />

to use some of the Richmond<br />
Hill land.<br />
“Unfortunately, LINZ didn’t<br />
want people on it, but the<br />
city council had a different<br />
perspective,” Cragg said.<br />
The red zone titles were<br />
transferred to the city council in<br />
July.<br />
“The city council then gave<br />
us the go-ahead to use the safe<br />
areas of red zone land,” Cragg<br />
said.<br />
“We are the first group to have<br />
applied for red zone land use this<br />
way and because of this it was an<br />
interesting process since the city<br />
council didn’t have a process but<br />
the red zone rangers who we’ve<br />
worked with have been great.”<br />

Bill Hammond<br />
across the evening sky<br />
by Peter Vangioni<br />
Bill Hammond was an artist with a singular vision. One of the greats of Aotearoa’s art<br />
history, his paintings of bird-people occupying mythologised landscapes empty of human<br />
inhabitants have mesmerised audiences for three decades. This book shows the artist<br />
at his finest. Features: • An exclusive interview between the legendary Bill Hammond<br />
and fellow artist Tony de Lautour. • Engaging, readable texts by Rachael King, Nic Low,<br />
Paul Scofield, Ariana Tikao and Peter Vangioni. • Huge images and details of some of<br />
Hammond’s finest paintings. • Responses to Hammond’s practice by artists including<br />
Fiona Pardington, Marlon Williams and Shane Cotton among others. Produced by the<br />
same team who made Bill Hammond: Jingle Jangle Morning, which won Best Illustrated<br />
Book at the New Zealand Book Awards, and Best Book at the Publishers Association Book<br />
Awards.<br />

Apples Never Fall<br />
by liane moriarty<br />
The Delaney family love one another dearly—it’s just that sometimes they want to murder<br />
each other... If your mother was missing, would you tell the police? Even if the most<br />
obvious suspect was your father? This is the dilemma facing the four grown Delaney<br />
siblings. The Delaneys are fixtures in their community. The parents, Stan and Joy, are the<br />
envy of all of their friends. The four Delaney children—Amy, Logan, Troy, and Brooke—<br />
were tennis stars in their own right, yet as their father will tell you, none of them had what<br />
it took to go all the way. But that’s okay, now that they’re all successful grown-ups and<br />
there is the wonderful possibility of grandchildren on the horizon. An incident happens<br />
with a stranger named Savannah and later Joy goes missing, and Savannah is nowhere<br />
to be found, the police question the one person who remains: Stan. But for someone who<br />
claims to be innocent, he, like many spouses, seems to have a lot to hide. Two of the<br />
Delaney children think their father is innocent, two are not so sure—but as the two sides<br />
square off against each other in perhaps their biggest match ever, all of the Delaneys will<br />
start to reexamine their shared family history in a very new light.<br />

Holmes paints an evocative picture of each car, covering its design,<br />
racing achievemts and driver history, as well as interesting trivia<br />
collected along the way. Photography from the time, much of it<br />
previously unpublished, brings the cars’ stories to life. Historic New<br />

and remembers a golden era in New Zealand motor-racing history.<br />

Going, going, gone – Humpty falls to auction hammer<br />
• By Samantha Mythen<br />
MAGICAL fairytale creatures<br />
and animals that adorn the<br />
garden of fantastical Redcliffs<br />
house ‘Brigadoon’ will travel<br />
to new homes after an auction<br />
emptied the property.<br />
Just over 100 chattels,<br />
including a child’s playhouse,<br />
a fibreglass rhinoceros and<br />
a Humpty Dumpty statue,<br />
were auctioned off by<br />
McCormack and McKellar<br />
Antique and Fine Art<br />
Auctioneers last week.<br />
Rob McKellar said all 110<br />
items were sold and the owners<br />
of the “iconic” house and<br />
garden were “extremely happy”<br />
with this result.<br />
“There were strong prices<br />
and a good crowd who<br />
were following alert level 2<br />
restrictions with face masks,”<br />
he said.<br />
“It was a well-received<br />
auction. As the house is<br />
off Main Rd, many people<br />
drive past it and see the<br />
garden.”<br />
Humpty Dumpty sold for<br />
$3900, while a wooden horse<br />
made from driftwood sold<br />
for $3400.<br />
The child’s playhouse sold for<br />
$2600, the rhino for $2800 and<br />
the giraffe for $2100.<br />
McKellar said the auction<br />
saw people bidding via phone<br />
from Auckland and Tauranga,<br />
although the majority of items<br />
were sold to people from<br />
Christchurch and Akaroa.<br />
The age range of buyers was<br />
from 35 to 70, he said.<br />

A NEW book has been published<br />
detailing the life of iconic<br />
Lyttelton artist Bill Hammond.<br />
Book editor and Christchurch<br />
Art Gallery publications co-ordinator<br />
Sarah Pepperle said the<br />
book Across the Evening Sky<br />
provides a “fascinating insight”<br />
into Hammond’s paintings,<br />
many of which have rarely been<br />
seen before.<br />
“Bill was a legend, one of<br />
Aotearoa’s most important<br />
artists, and the book is likely to<br />
be extraordinarily popular,” said<br />
Pepperle.<br />
Authored by curator Peter<br />

to the 2007 award-winning<br />
book Jingle Jangle Morning.<br />

THE 40,000 daffodil bulbs planted in the Lyttelton<br />
Anglican Cemetery and the Lyttelton Catholic and<br />
Public Cemetery in June are now beginning to bloom<br />
with spring’s arrival.<br />
The daffodil bulbs cost $18,000 and were funded<br />
through the city council’s community parks green asset<br />
renewal programme.<br />
The planting initiative was proposed by the council’s<br />
in-house cemetery maintenance team in December 2019.<br />
There have been 3800 burials within both cemeteries<br />
and 95 per cent of the burials are classified as heritage,<br />
dating pre-1950.<br />

“Fascinating insight” into artist’s life<br />
explores what is arguably the<br />
strongest period of Bill’s work,<br />
featuring large, beautiful bird<br />
paintings set in mythologised<br />
landscapes,” he said.<br />
Work on the project began last<br />
year as a collaboration with the<br />
artist, who died in January<br />
aged 73.<br />
It includes a recorded conversation<br />
with friend and fellow<br />
Christchurch artist Tony de<br />

Gallery photographer John<br />

an online giveaway<br />
with a prize package worth<br />
more than $2000.<br />
During the recent lockdown,<br />
Hubber said she felt<br />
helpless for every business<br />
that could not trade unless<br />
they had the click and<br />
collect model.<br />
“I started to think, what<br />
can I do? There are so<br />
many pockets of awesome<br />
in Ferrymead where I live<br />
and work,” she said.<br />
“In level 3, I drove<br />
around Ferrymead, looked<br />
at the different businesses<br />
and then worked out the<br />
idea of an online giveaway.”<br />
Hubber approached the<br />
different businesses that<br />
were “overwhelmingly”<br />
keen to support the idea.<br />
The aim is to increase the<br />
business’ online presence<br />
as well as “stand in solidarity<br />
and come together<br />
in unity during difficult<br />
times,” Hubber said.<br />
The prize pack includes<br />
one night accommodation<br />
for two in Hanmer<br />
Springs at Alpine Lodge<br />
from House of Travel, one<br />
month free membership<br />
from 9 Rounds Ferrymead,<br />
a barbecue pack of preservative<br />
and gluten free goods<br />
from Bangers ’n’ Bacon, a<br />
$200 voucher from Pizza<br />

the business’ social media<br />
pages, like the post, and<br />
then tag a friend in the<br />
post comments, explaining<br />
why they love that particular<br />
Ferrymead business.<br />
Hubber said she was<br />
getting “such a buzz” seeing<br />
the local community’s<br />
engagement.<br />
“There is a big pool of<br />
people who love Ferrymead<br />
businesses,” she said.<br />
Covid-19 has hit hard<br />
Hubber’s business with the<br />
last 18 months decimating<br />
the travel industry.<br />
“We were in growth<br />
mode in January 2020<br />
until Covid hit,” Hubber<br />
said.<br />
“Currently we can<br />
send people out of New<br />
Zealand, but it’s so hard<br />
to actually then get people<br />
home.”<br />
She is the only person<br />
working at the Ferrymead<br />
office, down from eight<br />
staff and two directors.<br />
“I am delighted the shop<br />
local idea via our giveaway<br />
has gained the attention it<br />
has,” Hubber said.<br />
“You have until<br />
<strong>September</strong> 30 to enter.”<br />

Felix von Luckner<br />
– war criminal or<br />
swashbuckling<br />
rogue?<br />
Felix von Luckner, born in<br />
1881, was the child of an aristocratic<br />
military German family.<br />
He ran away from home at the<br />
age of 13 and began what was<br />
to be a very colourful life spent<br />
both at sea and on land.<br />
In World War 1, von Luckner<br />
captained the SMS Seeadler, the<br />
last square rigged sailing ship<br />
ever to be used in combat. From<br />
this ship, elaborately disguised<br />
as a cargo transporter, von<br />
Luckner and his crew evaded<br />
the British Admiralty and sent<br />
14 ships to the sea floor, all with<br />
the loss of only one life.<br />
Captured crew would be<br />
taken on board the Seeadler and<br />
(given the circumstances), be<br />
treated with a strange level of<br />
hospitality including charm and<br />
champagne.<br />
The Seeadler was wrecked<br />
on a reef near Maaupelia in<br />
French Polynesia. Von Luckner’s<br />
account is an example of his colourful<br />
storytelling; involving a<br />
mirage and tidal wave, when the<br />
actual cause of the wreck may<br />
have been far more pedestrian.<br />
However, with a small crew,<br />
he did then sail a 10m lifeboat<br />
2000 miles across the Pacific –<br />
all the way attempting to pass<br />
themselves off as Dutch American<br />
adventurers. Consequences<br />
eventually caught up with them<br />
when they were arrested in Fiji<br />
and sent to Motuihe Island in<br />
the Hauraki Gulf as prisoners<br />
of war.<br />
Von Luckner’s intriguing life<br />
history does not stop here – with<br />
a group of nine other internees,<br />
he escaped from the camp,<br />
hijacked a passing ship; the Moa,<br />
and sailed to Raoul Island.<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
Treasures from the past<br />
Von Luckner<br />
with his<br />
second<br />
wife and<br />
characteristic<br />
pipe.<br />
A pursuing naval auxiliary<br />
ship caught up with him and<br />
he spent the remainder of the<br />
war in various war camps in<br />
New Zealand, including Ripapa<br />
Island in Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
Post war, von Luckner set out<br />
on a goodwill mission and was<br />
fettered in many places, not only<br />
for his record of seamanship and<br />
minimal loss of life, but also for<br />
his entertaining speaking skills<br />
and personal charisma.<br />
He had great physical strength<br />
and was purported to be able to<br />
bend coins and tear a New York<br />
city telephone directory in half<br />
with his bare hands.<br />
During World War 2, von<br />
Luckner was in a somewhat<br />
compromised position; a Freemason,<br />
he was not favoured by<br />
Hitler, who nevertheless tried<br />
to use him for propaganda purposes.<br />
In 1943 he saved the life<br />
of a Jewish woman who escaped<br />
to the United States. In some<br />
circles he was admired as a war<br />
hero, in others, he was branded<br />
as a Nazi propagandist, which<br />
he denied.<br />
Von Luckner, with his second<br />
wife, lived in Malmo, Sweden,<br />
until his death in 1966. We<br />
know that Baden Norris, founder<br />
of the Lyttelton Historical<br />
Museum Society, met Von Luckner<br />
on this trip to New Zealand<br />
in 1938.<br />
Baden, a young boy at the<br />
time, was impressed by von<br />
Luckner’s character and war<br />
record (and von Luckner’s<br />
ability to talk around the pipe in<br />
his mouth).<br />

Landfill<br />
sites to be<br />
restored<br />
THREE FORMER landfills on<br />
Banks Peninsula will be restored.<br />
City council resource recovery<br />
manager Ross Trotter said work<br />
will get underway at Le Bons <strong>Bay</strong>,<br />
Onuku and Barrys <strong>Bay</strong> sites later<br />
this year.<br />
“At Le Bons <strong>Bay</strong> preliminary<br />
site works – primarily tree removal<br />
– began in April with landfill<br />
removal scheduled for October,<br />
subject to resource consent.<br />
“Due to the site’s proximity<br />
to the Le Bons <strong>Bay</strong> cemetery an<br />
archaeological authority has been<br />
issued for the work,” Trotter said.<br />
Meanwhile, a detailed design,<br />
scope of works and costing is<br />
being prepared for the old landfill<br />
site at Onuku after areas of slumping<br />
and exposed material were<br />
identified.<br />
“After receiving advice on how<br />
best to remediate the issues, we<br />
are planning to carry out work<br />
between October and November<br />
this year,” Trotter said.<br />
“The remediation will be undertaken<br />
at the same time as a car park<br />
will be developed on the top of the<br />
old landfill next to Onuku Rd.”<br />
Costing is also under way for<br />
minor repairs to the seawall at the<br />
closed Barrys <strong>Bay</strong> landfill.<br />
Claim Southern Response<br />
compensation now<br />
Deadline to opt out of the Ross Class Action: 20 December <strong>2021</strong><br />
If you are one of 3,000 Southern Response earthquake claimants who settled<br />
before 1 October 2014, you are likely to be entitled to compensation.<br />
The average compensation is approximately $100,000.<br />
Anthony Harper has set up a dedicated website to provide access to independent legal advice on your compensation,<br />
and importantly, how to opt out of the Ross Class Action before the court-appointed deadline of 20 December <strong>2021</strong>.<br />
Fixed fee of $2500 + GST for legal advice, of which Southern Response reimburses $2000.<br />

WITH MARY IN FAITH<br />
TĀTOU KO MERE E WHAKAPONO ANA<br />
A Message from the Board<br />
The announcement of a Level 4 lockdown on the 17th of August, was déjà vu<br />
for us all, and saw the Marian College staff and students transitioning back into<br />
home learning.<br />
As a Board it was great to see the level of resilience and support the students<br />
continued to demonstrate even when they were not in the same space as each<br />
other. We are very fortunate to have staff who were committed to ensuring that<br />
all our students had access to the resources and support they needed to enable<br />
them to continue their learning in these challenging times.<br />
This latest lockdown has once again meant the cancellation or postponement<br />
of scheduled events in the school calendar.<br />
However, despite all this, we have so many reasons to celebrate as a school<br />
community. Our Jazz Band ‘MC Jammer’ were recognised as Most Promising<br />
Band at the Southern Jam Festival; our students were part of the wonderful<br />
Jubilate Mass in the Town Hall and the Marian College Variety Concert was a<br />
reminder of just how talented and passionate our students are.<br />
Finally, we are excited to announce that Armitage Williams has been<br />
appointed by the Diocese as the construction company for the new school<br />
build. Although there will no doubt be some disruption due to the latest Covid<br />
lockdown, to know that work on Marian College’s new home will soon be<br />
underway is cause for celebration. Our school motto is ‘With Mary in Faith’,<br />
and we continue to move forward with faith in our future as we look towards<br />
the opening in 2023.<br />
Carmel Gregan-Ford<br />
Chair, Marian College Board<br />
Protecting the future of Ōtautahi<br />
Jazz Band takes ‘Most Promising’ title<br />
Marian College Jazz Band ‘MC Jammer’<br />
is revelling in recent successes<br />
having received a Silver Award and<br />
named Most Promising Band at the<br />
Southern Jam Youth Jazz Festival in<br />
Blenheim.<br />
This was the first-time band members<br />
Taylor Fasi-Fidow (drums), Niamh<br />
Ryan (saxophone), Amy Kirk (vocals),<br />
Lyka Narciso (guitar) and Lydia<br />
Iosefo (bass) had competed together,<br />
having just formed the band at the<br />
start of the year.<br />
The weeklong event involved jazz<br />
bands from 16 high schools across<br />
the South Island performing at locations<br />
across Marlborough ending<br />
with a gala night and awards ceremony.<br />
Marian College Head of Music Miranda<br />
Allison said it was the first time in<br />
Marian College’s history that the Jazz<br />
Band had taken out a Silver Award<br />
which meant a lot to the students<br />
and their director – former student<br />
Frankie Daly.<br />
“It reflects the level of talent and the<br />
work ethic of the students in the jazz<br />
band this year. Most of the members<br />
have never played jazz before <strong>2021</strong>,<br />
so they have done incredibly well to<br />
climb the ranks so quickly.<br />
In receiving the Most Promising Band<br />
Award, judges Roger Fox and Dave<br />
Wilson said the band ‘warmed their<br />
hearts’ and ‘we will never forget you’.<br />
“It meant so much to us as a band, as<br />
it meant the girl’s enjoyment in their<br />
craft and for playing music with each<br />
other came across,” Ms Allison said.<br />
Amy said receiving the Most<br />
Promising Band Award was totally<br />
unexpected.<br />
“It was a moment we’ll never forget.<br />
We were all close before, but this trip<br />
made us closer and we were so glad<br />
the judges could see that in our<br />
performance,” she said.<br />
The recognition from the judges<br />
reflected the hard work the girls had<br />
put in, Taylor said.<br />
“We’re a small band from a small<br />
school. It just showed that in such a<br />
short amount of time we were able<br />
to form a good connection and create<br />
good music,” she said.<br />
For Niamh, who has performed in<br />
Southern Jam twice previously with<br />
other bands, receiving the Silver<br />
Award was a significant achievement.<br />
“We’ve never done that before. It was<br />
a moment of pride which we were not<br />
expecting and we’re just really proud<br />
of ourselves.”<br />
Combating climate change locally<br />
was at the forefront of Marian College<br />
Year 10 students minds recently<br />
as they set out to put the Catholic<br />
Social Justice teachings of ‘participation,<br />
common good, and stewardship’<br />
into practice.<br />
As part of their Social Studies<br />
course, the students participated<br />
in the Christchurch City Council<br />
programme ‘Future Proof: Climate<br />
Change – Kaitiakitanga’ which aims<br />
to help students learn about how<br />
climate change will directly impact<br />
the city and how we can all make a<br />
difference.<br />
The students then spent the afternoon<br />
planting more than 1000 native<br />
plants in the Cranford Basin.<br />
“It was reassuring to know how important<br />
what we were doing was and<br />
how much it will help future generations,”<br />
Lise Kirwan said.<br />
Congratulations to our Year 12 and 13 Pasifika leaders Beautienna Gamble, Taylor<br />
Fasi-Fidow, Shemaiah Iosefo, Valelia Taaso, and Grace Petelo who were recognised at<br />
the SPACPAC Leadership and Academic Awards recently.<br />

Plenty of sting in feisty Kia sport sedan<br />
THE FORECAST wasn’t good<br />
– a weather bomb warning was<br />
issued for Canterbury and the<br />
predictions were right, we were<br />
hammered by rain and wind on a<br />
weekend when I had Kia’s Stinger<br />
sport coupe for evaluation.<br />
As a consequence, and in the<br />
interests of safety, I took heed of<br />
the advice to stay at home and<br />
to travel only if necessary – the<br />
Stinger was parked up for much<br />
of the time it was in my care.<br />
So for the first time in many<br />
years I asked Kia New Zealand if<br />
I could have another crack at the<br />
Stinger, it was kindly rescheduled<br />
and, what’s more, when my time<br />
in it arrived again the roads were<br />
dry, although being winter in<br />
Canterbury you do have to be<br />
wary of all day ice.<br />
The mid-Canterbury roads<br />
are perfect for the Stinger, it’s a<br />
genuine tourer and with its fourdoor<br />
design it is very desirable<br />
with power to match its stunning<br />
looks.<br />
The appropriately-named<br />
Stinger first landed in 2018<br />
and it’s fair to say it’s not a huge<br />
seller, but it is an affordable<br />
niche market car that has appeal<br />
for those who like rear-wheeldrive<br />
and a strong turbocharged<br />
engine.<br />
For <strong>2021</strong> the Stinger has had<br />
a bit of a refresh, there are many<br />
trim and cosmetic changes inside<br />
and out, and in the V6 variant<br />
there’s a new exhaust system<br />
designed to improve gas flow,<br />
the latter also provides a mild<br />
boost in power from the previous<br />
model.<br />
As I’ve alluded to, there are<br />
actually two engine options<br />
in Stinger – there’s a 2-litre<br />
turbocharged four-cylinder<br />
unit ($69,990) and the 3.3-litre<br />
twin-turbocharged V6 that adds<br />
$10k.<br />
While I’d like to have a drive in<br />
the four-potter, the GT Sport V6<br />
variant is certainly very exciting.<br />
Peak power is rated at 274kW (up<br />
2kW), maximum torque is listed<br />
at a beefy 510Nm and is available<br />
all of the way from 1300rpm to<br />
4500rpm.<br />
Kia says that a standstill<br />
to 100km/h time of 4.9sec is<br />
possible and it also claims a<br />
10.2-litre per 100km combined<br />
cycle fuel usage rating; if you add<br />
all of these figures together and<br />
analyse them you end up with a<br />
strong, quick performance car<br />
and one that isn’t too hard on<br />
fuel.<br />
I returned the evaluation car<br />
to the dealership with 11l/100km<br />
showing on the fuel usage<br />
readout, which I thought was<br />
most acceptable. At 100km/h the<br />
readout is listing a 7.1l/100km<br />
instantaneous figure with the<br />
engine working over slowly at just<br />
1500rpm.<br />
Drive is channelled through<br />
a paddle-shift, eight-speed<br />
automatic transmission, the<br />
rear axles are guided through<br />
an independent five-link set-up<br />
STYLE: Four doors and a liftback rear gives the Stinger a<br />
coupe-like look.<br />
KIA STINGER: Plenty of power with turbocharged V6 engine, or a four-cylinder unit if you<br />
prefer more sedate.<br />
with the spring and damper<br />
rates not overly firmed.<br />
Engine management protocols<br />
can be altered through various<br />
drive modes, there’s even an<br />
individual one which the driver<br />
can pre-program to suit his or<br />
her driving styles. Sport mode<br />
isn’t overly aggressive, but it<br />
does significantly enhance the<br />
liveliness of the engine, the driver<br />
is fully aware the power is being<br />
directed to the rear wheels and<br />
it’s a magical, natural feel that<br />
constantly tantalises. Also, when<br />
the car is in sports mode the seat<br />
uprights move to grip your torso,<br />
it feels very reassuring.<br />
Engine power is such that with<br />
forceful throttle openings the rear<br />
tyres can be encouraged to break<br />
grip; of course, traction control<br />
settings override that quickly, but<br />
there is an element of playfulness<br />
built into the system, oversteer<br />
is constantly possible. I never<br />
removed TCS to explore the<br />
extremes but I can definitely report<br />
the Stinger is a full driver’s car.<br />
What’s more amazing is the<br />
tyres have significant grip in the<br />
first instance. Michelin supplies<br />
the rubber, and the rears at<br />
255/35 x 19in have massive road<br />
surface cover. The fronts are bit<br />
thinner at <strong>22</strong>5/40, but they still<br />
steer beautifully. The Stinger has<br />
accurate turn-in and positive<br />
directional accuracy, it’s a case of<br />
point and turn.<br />
When it comes time to slowing<br />
the Stinger, four-corner Brembo<br />
brakes provide massive braking<br />
• Price – Kia Stinger GT<br />
Sport, $79,990<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4830mm; width, 1870mm;<br />
height, 1400mm<br />
• Configuration – V6,<br />
rear-wheel-drive, 3342cc,<br />
274kW, 510Nm, eightspeed<br />
automatic<br />
• Performance – 0-100km/h,<br />
4.9sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 10.2l/100km<br />
power, the pedal feels absolutely<br />
delightful.<br />
Inside, the layout is spectacular,<br />
new-age gauges and all the<br />
mod-cons you could imagine<br />
come as standard spec. There’s<br />
new leather trim, well it’s a nappa<br />
leather meaning it’s quite soft<br />
and cosseting, and there are seat<br />
heaters for those cold mornings,<br />
along with a heated steering wheel.<br />
The in-cabin detailing is laid<br />
out for ease of use, the controls<br />
and display screen graphics are<br />
intuitive and easy to read.<br />
The specification list<br />
is extensive and way too<br />
comprehensive to list in detail<br />
but to say the Stinger doesn’t<br />
miss out on much and there’s<br />
also a five-star Australasian New<br />
Car Assessment Program safety<br />
rating.<br />
One of the features that is<br />
worth noting is the smart key that<br />
has a remote engine start option,<br />
it would be good to get the air<br />
conditioning cooling the car<br />
down on a hot day before getting<br />
in. Another clever piece of kit is<br />
the hands-free powered tailgate<br />
that will open automatically if it<br />
detects you and the key in close<br />
proximity for longer than three<br />
seconds.<br />
Comfort levels are also high<br />
both front and rear, and there is<br />
a surprising amount of interior<br />
space. The low roof-line doesn’t<br />
affect rear head room, well not for<br />
my daughter anyway, she is tall,<br />
so I guess unless you are a sixfooter<br />
that shouldn’t be an issue.<br />
The Stinger could well be<br />
described as Kia’s best kept<br />
secret, I haven’t seen many on<br />
our roads and I’ve never seen<br />
a four-cylinder version. That’s<br />
quite sad really for the Stinger<br />
is one classy car and a very<br />
exciting sports sedan to boot. It’s<br />
also an opportune time to buy,<br />
from January the Stinger V6 will<br />
certainly be a $4600 victim of the<br />
Government’s tax to incentivise<br />
buyers into electric vehicles.<br />
Kia New Zealand is marching<br />
along at a good pace with strong<br />
sales, and Kia product is slowly<br />
distancing itself from its Korean<br />
partner Hyundai.<br />
It’s wonderful cars like the<br />
Stinger that are providing that<br />
individualism and an almost<br />
unique driving experience. I<br />
applaud the company for going<br />
to such lengths to develop that<br />
rear wheel-drive platform, which<br />
has most definitely pitched itself<br />
against the high profile models<br />
that sit in that part of the market.<br />

MARKET UPDATE<br />
Daffodils and signboards popping out of nowhere, but what's the buzz<br />
about spring?<br />
Properties look their best in springtime, the gardens start to come back to<br />
life, warmer weather, and longer nights. Spring brings change, new life,<br />
and for some people a new place to call HOME as we come out of<br />
hibernation. With the days growing longer and starting to countdown to<br />
Christmas, buyers are on the lookout to secure their next venture.<br />
Listing rates generally increase during the springtime meaning more stock<br />
on the market, giving buyers more choice with what they want to buy.<br />
Having a dedicated Home Specialist on your side means that you and your<br />
HOME are getting the attention and service you deserve. Your property<br />
presents itself best in springtime, so why not pair it with specialists that<br />
have the best marketing around.<br />
If you want to make the most of the spring season and have your first<br />
Christmas in your forever HOME, reach out to your local Home Specialist<br />
today.<br />

Q What is the main reason for having a home professionally styled?<br />
COASTAL VIBES | IN HOUSE STYLING<br />
A Styling your home is an investment to ensure you get the top market price for your property<br />
Q How does it have such an effect on the end result?<br />
A It’s the first impression that counts when potential buyers enter your home, we want them to fall in love by<br />
creating a vision of their future<br />
Q Is all home styling the same?<br />
A No home is created equal, we ensure the unique features of a home are reflected in the way we style a home<br />
Q How long should I have my home staged for?<br />
A Ideally, your property should be staged for the length of the campaign and it is essential the staging items are in<br />
before the first open homes for impact on potential buyers<br />
Q Can I live in the property while it has staging items in it?<br />
A If a HOME is fully staged then the answer is no, but if you only have partial staging and the main items are your<br />
own possessions then you can still remain in the property.
