THURSDAY, JUNE <strong>27</strong>, <strong>2024</strong><br />
• By John Cosgrove<br />
FINDING PEOPLE buried<br />
under earthquake debris or<br />
trapped in collapsed buildings<br />
is what a select group of<br />
Canterbury dogs train most<br />
weekends for.<br />
They train so that should<br />
they ever be called upon to use<br />
their noses for real, they can<br />
do the job quickly and safely<br />
in locations that are often too<br />
dangerous for their handlers to<br />
enter.<br />
Staffed entirely by volunteers,<br />
the <strong>Southern</strong> Training Group<br />
for the Urban Search and Rescue<br />
(USAR) Search Dog Association<br />
often hold on-site training<br />
exercises to get their dogs up to<br />
operational status.<br />
Liz Cartwright from<br />
Sydenham has worked with<br />
Duke, a 16 month old heading<br />
cross dog, since October 2023.<br />
“It is amazing being part of the<br />
search dog team, it’s something<br />
I’m very passionate about and I<br />
love the team dynamics between<br />
the members and the dogs.’’<br />
Five dogs and their handlers<br />
from the group spend their<br />
weekends searching for hidden<br />
victims inside empty buildings<br />
and in nearby quarry piles.<br />
The dogs were either qualified<br />
or working towards being<br />
declared operational.<br />
USAR national dog trainer<br />
Colin Howard says there are<br />
only six dogs nationally that<br />
are fully trained for this type of<br />
work, as it takes 12 to 24 months<br />
to train a dog.<br />
Their training involves many<br />
hours by their volunteer owners<br />
working with their dogs to teach<br />
them ways to search based on<br />
smell or sound across terrains<br />
as open as office blocks or as<br />
rugged as quarry piles.<br />

Work to<br />
start on<br />
restoring<br />
coastal<br />
wetland<br />
• By Dylan Smits<br />
WORK ON environmental<br />
development at Ferrymead<br />
Regional Park and the<br />
surrounding pasture will start<br />
soon.<br />
The $1.4 million plan will see<br />
natural tidal zones reconnected<br />
and more native species planted to<br />
restore the area to coastal wetland.<br />
“The development plan reflects<br />
the council’s emphasis on climate<br />
resilience and responding to the<br />
ecological emergency,” said city<br />
council acting head of parks<br />
Rupert Bool.<br />
The development area sits<br />
between Tunnel Rd and Bridle<br />
Path Rd, with the golf club and<br />
heritage park located within.<br />
Stage one of the development<br />
will likely be under way early next<br />
month at the latest, said Bool.<br />
The pines along the Ōpāwaho<br />
River Track will be cut down over<br />
about six weeks to prepare the<br />
estuary edge for the planting of<br />
about 12,000 native species.<br />
It will take about four weeks to<br />
complete the plantings.<br />
The lower Avoca Stream and<br />
connected saltmarsh will then be<br />
planted with more natives with a<br />
start date not yet set.<br />

Much-needed refresh, repair<br />
work coming for Esplanade<br />
WORK IS about to start on a<br />
refresh of Sumner’s Esplanade<br />
walkway.<br />
From July 8, the city council is<br />
restoring the rock seawall between<br />
the walkway and the beach, and<br />
updating the walkway seating on<br />
the seaward side of the concrete<br />
seawall.<br />
The city council is also investigating<br />
the installation of an<br />
accessible ramp running from the<br />
walkway to the beach.<br />
City council acting head of<br />
parks Rupert Bool said the<br />
changes will be made as a result of<br />
a 2019 assessment of the seawall.<br />
“We found about half of the<br />
seawall – some 600 metres – had<br />
eroded and needs to be topped<br />
up with more rocks to get it back<br />
to its original height, which will<br />
mean better protection from<br />
swells and storms,’’ Bool said.<br />
“All the bench seats are in an<br />
average to poor condition and<br />
need to either be repaired or<br />
replaced.<br />
“We’re replacing them with new<br />
ones that will be in the same style<br />
as the furniture you can see along<br />
the newly completed Te Ara Ihutai<br />
Christchurch Coastal Pathway.<br />
“The 20 new bench seats will<br />
be evenly spaced in the locations<br />
people use most often,” Bool said.<br />
“We’re installing four of them<br />
UPDATE: The city council will be restoring the rock seawall and updating seating along<br />

in new spots that will give people<br />
different views of the coastline<br />
– on the seaward side of the<br />
walkway and on top of the rock<br />
seawall.<br />
“We’re very mindful of wildlife<br />
along this area. There’s currently<br />

no sign of activity from lizards<br />
and penguins, but we’ll be<br />
keeping a lookout for them during<br />
construction. We’ve timed the<br />
work to start outside the penguin<br />
breeding season,” Bool said.<br />
The city council expects the<br />
seawall restoration to take eight<br />
weeks to complete, and will work<br />
closely with the contractor to keep<br />
disruption along the Esplanade<br />
walkway to a minimum. The<br />
furniture is set to be renewed in<br />
mid September.<br />
Furry models<br />

fundraising<br />
calendar<br />
• By Shelley Topp<br />
THE SPCA is calling on dog<br />
and cat lovers to enter<br />
their animals in the<br />
organisation’s Pets of the Year<br />
2025 calendar competition.<br />
This year New Zealand’s<br />
largest animal charity has<br />
two calendar categories, cat<br />
and dog, said the SPCA’s chief<br />
executive Todd Westwood.<br />
‘‘This is a chance to put<br />
your pet photography skills to<br />
use, and capture your furry<br />
friend’s fabulous side. Or maybe<br />
you have a gem already on your<br />
camera,’’ Westwood said.<br />
‘‘While the top 12 fundraisers<br />
will be our monthly stars,<br />
any pet profile which raises<br />
more than $150 will be<br />
guaranteed a spot inside<br />
the calendar.’’<br />
Every dollar raised as part of<br />
the Pets of the Year competition<br />
goes directly into funding the<br />
SPCA’s work.<br />
‘‘As your pet’s photo generates<br />
donations, sick, injured and<br />
vulnerable animals around New<br />
Zealand will get the help they<br />
need because of it,’’ he said.<br />

Cameron and the team at Harcourts were wonderful to deal with from<br />
start to finish in the sale of our house.<br />
Outstanding communication and engagement. The plan was laid out<br />
at the start, agreed upon and delivered. They work at a fast pace, which<br />
we liked, and they kept us informed through the whole process.<br />
We sold our house and got a good price, so the proof is in the<br />
pudding. We would have no issue recommending Cameron as a topquality<br />
real estate agent.<br />

Te Aratai College:<br />
Celebrating Who Our Learners Are<br />
A “culturally responsive pedagogy” is a term<br />
that many outside of the education sector<br />
may have heard from time to time but have<br />
little grasp of what we are speaking to. What<br />
this means for us at Te Aratai College is an<br />
endeavour to deliver accessible teaching and<br />
learning that values an individual’s culture. It is<br />
a genuine attempt of our kaiako to recognise,<br />
celebrate and utilise ākonga for their unique<br />
and meaningful identities and backgrounds.<br />
We recognise as educators our tried and true<br />
purpose is to teach, but a culturally responsive<br />
pedagogy also aspires to ensure all our<br />
students feel their cultural identity is strong,<br />
secure and fundamentally valued along the<br />
way.<br />
It can be seen and heard in the karakia recited<br />
at the beginning of Tāhuhu classes. It can be<br />
found in the cultural narrative of our building<br />
names, gifted to us by Ngāi Tūāhuriri for our<br />
recent rebuild.<br />
Our commitment to cultural responsiveness is<br />
also addressed in our practice of ako and mahi<br />
ngātahi, a philosophy of not only sharing the<br />
content, context and responsibility of teaching<br />
and learning between student and teacher<br />
but also in the wider community with ongoing<br />
kōrero and consultation with whānau. Perhaps<br />
the best example of this is our Wā Whakanui<br />
conferencing we hold in Term 3 of every year.<br />
These conferences replace the traditional<br />
parent-teacher interviews where<br />
whānau are given 10 minute intervals to<br />
digest a student’s progress by individual<br />
subject teachers.<br />
Sāmoa students participating in preparing and<br />
sharing an Umu to celebrate the culmination of<br />
Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa - Samoa Language<br />
Week. It is also found in Te Roopu Kapa Haka<br />
o Kimihia, the school’s Kapa Haka group about<br />
to depart for The National Secondary Schools<br />
Competition. This group is a combination of 5<br />
kura from around Christchurch, also including:<br />
Christchurch Girls High School, Christchurch<br />
Boys High School, Cashmere High School and<br />
Haeata Community Campus.<br />
Using this practice ensures we are upholding<br />
the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and when<br />
we succeed it benefits every learner. For all<br />
ākonga, we must work to ensure they all feel<br />
they belong within the learning environment<br />
we provide and a sound, clear kaupapa is<br />
shared with the community that is focused on<br />
the potential of ‘all’ learners to thrive without<br />
compromising who they are.<br />
So what does this look, sound and feel like<br />
in our learning community? In the classroom,<br />
it is expressed through wānanga – decisionmaking<br />
and learning practices that are<br />
responsive to a range of relevant contexts. It<br />
maintains, advances, and shares knowledge<br />
and develops intellectual independence, while<br />
assisting the use of knowledge regarding<br />
āhuatanga Māori (tradition) according to<br />
tikanga Māori (custom). This can be found in<br />
our science classes where Y10 students learn<br />
about genetics and cancer, and how singer<br />
Stan Walker identified that the mutated CDH1<br />
gene was expressed in his whakapapa.<br />
Instead, Wā Whakanui is a presentation<br />
delivered by our students to their whānau,<br />
sharing and speaking to 3 pieces of their<br />
best work. These are empowering, inspiring<br />
presentations where the self-determination and<br />
success of our ākonga is evident for their loved<br />
ones.<br />
Our commitment to strong community bonds<br />
is also ever-present in events like our Gagana<br />
The success from these competitions is<br />
more than placing on the day, it includes<br />
creating a sense of whanaungatanga,<br />
personal success and a sense of<br />
belonging and identity within the<br />
kaihaka for all ākonga to be proud of<br />
their culture and who they are.<br />
A school is not an island where we prepare our<br />
students for the ‘real world’ outside. A school is<br />
part of that real world, where the experiences<br />
and expressions are as real and lived as<br />
anything that flows in, through and beyond it.<br />
This is why we believe that a successful kura,<br />
a school that delivers success for its precious<br />
taonga, is engaged with the communities,<br />
histories and identities of all that come to tread<br />
life and experience into its busy halls.<br />

Pasture land<br />
Home buyers staying<br />
will return to<br />
natural state<br />
• From page 1<br />
has worked out a transition<br />
Heathcote city councillor Sara plan with the farmer who uses<br />
Templeton said the development paddocks within the area for<br />
is the result of nearby residents grazing livestock.<br />
pushing for natural restoration. “We will be gradually<br />
“Making sure we have<br />
removing grazing from<br />
native species thriving<br />
the paddocks that can<br />

be seen from the Tunnel<br />
important,” she said.<br />
Rd motorway within<br />
Stage two will see tidal<br />

from the Avoca Stream<br />
near Tunnel Rd.<br />
This will encourage<br />
natural regeneration of<br />

the golf club alongside<br />
planting wetland natives.<br />
Work on stage two<br />
will start some time next<br />
year, with the whole<br />
plan expected to be fully<br />
implemented by 2030.<br />
These projects will<br />
see most of the land north and<br />

Bool said the city council<br />

areas of the paddocks<br />
will occur gradually<br />
and it is likely that there<br />
will be some areas that<br />
are grazed until the site<br />
is fully developed as<br />
habitat.”<br />
Bool said the phasing<br />
out of paddocks over<br />
time will allow the<br />
farmer to make longterm<br />
plans for new<br />
grazing areas.<br />

A FAMILY home on a sizeable<br />
section has proved hard to beat in<br />
Sumner.<br />
The Hardwicke St property sold<br />
under the hammer last Thursday<br />
for $2.25m.<br />
Bayleys listing<br />
agent Marilyn<br />
Still, who marketed<br />
the property<br />
with colleague<br />
Rosie Petronelli,<br />
told OneRoof<br />
renovated family<br />
homes on large Marilyn Still<br />
sections rarely<br />
came on the<br />
market in Sumner.<br />
The three-bedroom, twobathroom<br />
home attracted more<br />
than 60 groups throughout the<br />
week campaign. Thursday’s<br />
auction drew three buyers, with<br />
bidding opening at $2m and the<br />
property selling for $2.25m.<br />
Everyone looking at the home<br />
was local, Still said. Two of the<br />
bidders knew each other, while<br />
the new owners lived close by,<br />
with their children attending the<br />
school across the road.<br />
Still told OneRoof the current<br />
owners were moving to a smaller<br />
house nearby. The owners before<br />
them had also lived there for<br />
about 20 years.<br />
KEEP IT LOCAL: A Sumner family is moving around the<br />
corner to their new home on Hardwicke St.<br />
She said Sumner was more<br />
expensive than other suburbs<br />
in the city, with properties on<br />
the Esplanade typically fetching<br />
higher prices.<br />
“Once you get here – you move<br />
up or you downsize – but mostly<br />
people stay. It’s got so much to<br />
offer,” she told OneRoof.<br />
“Number one, it’s got the beach.<br />
Number two, everyone can walk<br />
everywhere unless they are up<br />
the hill of course, and it’s a great<br />
community.”<br />

Vicar’s filmmaking foray nets<br />
• By Dylan Smits<br />
COULD Lyttelton vicar John<br />
McLister be the next Peter<br />
Jackson or Taika Waititi?<br />
“No, I don’t think so,” he<br />
laughed. “I’m more interested<br />
in capturing the social history<br />
of people. That’s quite a niche<br />
audience.”<br />
However, the 66-year-old<br />
vicar’s new career is off to a roaring<br />
start with nominations for<br />
two film awards.<br />
McLister is a Christchurch<br />
finalist in the Vista Foundation<br />
48 Hours short film competition<br />
and a nominee for best tertiary<br />
film in the Doc Edge Film Festival.<br />
Both awards will be presented<br />
at ceremonies tomorrow night.<br />
“For me, as a first-time person<br />
having a crack at it, it’s nice to<br />
see two films as finalists. It’s<br />
quite rewarding to get that level<br />
of approval,” he said.<br />
McLister’s short film for the 48<br />
Hour competition, The Reserve,<br />
is about a mother and son who<br />
get separated while walking in<br />
the woods.<br />
Following competition rules,<br />
the 5min film was produced over<br />
two days in May and has horror<br />
and psychological themes.<br />
It was produced by McLister,<br />
with Jae Hulbert directing<br />
and Clint Thambi on<br />
cinematography.<br />
McLister is deeply involved in<br />
the Lyttelton community as the<br />
vicar at Holy Trinity Anglican<br />
Church and the chaplain at the<br />
seafarers’ centre.<br />
“Everyone’s been pretty<br />
supportive (of my film-making).<br />
I think when people see you’re<br />
really enjoying something,<br />
they’ll tell you to go for it.”<br />
A year ago, McLister decided<br />
to pursue a lifelong curiosity and<br />
enrolled in Yoobee’s film school,<br />
New Zealand’s largest.<br />
“I thought to myself, if I don’t<br />
have a crack at this now, I’ll<br />
regret it.”<br />
At high school McLister<br />
enjoyed filming, with one of the<br />
country’s first video cameras<br />
sparking his interest in making<br />
stories.<br />
“Life carries you in different<br />
directions, but it never went<br />
away,” he said.<br />
He submitted his student<br />
documentary Heritage Heroes to<br />
Doc Edge, which is running in<br />
Christchurch until Sunday and<br />
online until July 31.<br />
For the film, McLister took a<br />
tour of Ferrymead Heritage Park<br />
and interviewed a tram driver,<br />
and print shop volunteers about<br />
their work.<br />
“I was just blown away by<br />
their dedication. They’re kind of<br />
unsung heroes.”<br />
He enjoyed his time at Yoobee<br />
and felt welcomed by his much<br />
younger classmates.<br />
“It was funny at times because<br />
I was old enough to be the<br />
grandfather of some of these<br />
students. It was good for me,<br />
ACTION: John McLister<br />
produced The Reserve, with<br />
director Jae Hulbert (left)<br />
and cinematographer Clint<br />
Thambi (centre). The trio<br />
are planning a production<br />
company.<br />
because it put me in touch with<br />
people who I wouldn’t naturally<br />
interact with at my age.”<br />
Despite the age gap, McLister<br />
said he managed to find<br />
common ground with students<br />
due to their joint creative<br />
pursuits.<br />
He linked up with Hulbert and<br />
Thambi through the course.<br />
The trio want to start a<br />
production company and<br />
film many short movies and<br />
documentaries around Lyttelton<br />
Harbour.<br />

“It’s a beautiful area for making<br />
stories, and where Jae and I both<br />
grew up, so we want to show it<br />
off.”<br />
Documentary filmmaking is<br />
his favourite genre.<br />
“A lot of documentaries are big<br />
stories about people who do big<br />
things. They’re great stories that<br />
have to be told, but what about<br />
the average person? Someone<br />
who works a nine to five but<br />
then spends 10 hours a week<br />
volunteering,” he said.<br />
McLister’s wife Yaeko and<br />
children Joe and Caeli have been<br />
supportive of his filmmaking too.<br />
“My wife has known I’ve<br />
wanted to do it for a long time.<br />
So she’s been very patient and<br />
allowed me to go off and do these<br />
things.”<br />
Creating The Reserve was a<br />
challenge for the crew as they had<br />
just 48 hours to write, film and<br />
edit the movie.<br />
Teams only received their<br />
genre at the start of the event,<br />
so the crew scouted out multiple<br />
locations in advance.<br />
“We went to a lot of place<br />
to scope out where we could<br />
possibly film. We could have got<br />
a musical, we could have a got a<br />
mystery, we had to be flexible.”<br />
The Urumau Reserve in<br />
Lyttelton was perfect for a moody<br />
horror short.<br />
“We wanted to highlight the<br />
area a little because it has a sort of<br />
CARE: McLister supports residents and sailors as the vicar at<br />
Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Lyttelton, and the chaplain at<br />
the seafarers’ centre.<br />
uniqueness and ambience.”<br />
McLister’s team received the<br />
‘real-time’ genre which meant<br />
the movie couldn’t have any time<br />
skips. Edits were still allowed.<br />
As producer, McLister took on<br />
a managing role for every aspect<br />
of production.<br />
“It was a good team effort. We<br />
all did our part to make it work<br />
while filming it in just one day.”<br />
Thambi is also a finalist for<br />
the 48 Hour cinematography<br />
award.<br />
Later this year, McLister will<br />
start work on a documentary<br />
about Lyttelton Times journalist<br />
Samuel Crombie Brown and<br />
his reporting during the 1881<br />
invasion of Parihaka.<br />

Annabelle and Josh<br />
Wear needed to learn<br />
their parts and put on a<br />
convincing performance<br />
in just one day of filming.<br />
Fourteen-year-old Josh<br />
dreams of becoming a<br />
professional actor.<br />
“He’s wanted to be an<br />
actor forever. Josh wandered<br />
up to me one day<br />
and said ‘alright Mum,<br />
when are you going to<br />
get me an agent’,” said<br />
Annabelle.<br />
With limited opportunities<br />
available in the South<br />
Island, Josh starting acting<br />
in Yoobee student<br />
films.<br />
The pair, who live in<br />
Diamond Harbour, were<br />
only shown the script for<br />
The Reserve on shoot day.<br />
“As an actor it was<br />
exciting, because you<br />
basically have to embody<br />
a character in one day,”<br />
Annabelle said.<br />
“It was a good<br />
20-minute walk up<br />
the hill with everybody<br />
lugging make-up, gear<br />
and fabric. It’s just an<br />
amazing pressure cooker.”<br />
Josh’s passion for acting<br />
sparked his mother’s<br />
interest in appearing on<br />
screen.<br />
“I originally went along<br />
to the first audition for<br />
Josh and I read with him.<br />
The director was like ‘oh<br />
I want you in the film as<br />
well’. I think I’m a secret<br />
actor because I love it. I<br />
absolutely love it.”<br />
Happy with supporting<br />
roles, Annabelle wants<br />
to help her son shine by<br />
acting alongside him.<br />
“I’m cool with being<br />
the sidekick. It’s about<br />
helping Josh to get these<br />
opportunities.”<br />
Josh will appear in the<br />
Court Theatre’s junior<br />
production of The Little<br />

Frugal Swift Hybrid an engaging drive<br />
MISERLY FUEL economy has<br />
underpinned the success of the<br />
last three generations of the<br />
Suzuki Swift 5-door hatch, with<br />
the hybrid variant the thriftiest of<br />
them all.<br />
According to combined fuel<br />
consumption tests, the Swift<br />
Hybrid’s 4.1 litres/100km has<br />
the potential, if the driver has<br />
the discipline to go easy on the<br />
throttle, to potentially travel about<br />
900km on a full tank of petrol.<br />
The starting point for this<br />
likeable little fuel miser is the<br />
$28,990 mid-spec GLX, or you<br />
can opt for something more posh<br />
with the $31,990 RS. A two-tone<br />
roof is a $500 extra but does add a<br />
bit of affordable visual pizzazz.<br />
The hybrid RS Swift added to<br />
Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />
the Swift Catalogue two years ago<br />
is just the ticket for those who<br />
want hybrid thrift, but don’t want<br />
to go frugal on the finer things of<br />
motoring life.<br />
Standard equipment includes<br />
electrically folding exterior<br />
mirrors, climate control air<br />
conditioning, steering wheel<br />
mounted paddle-shifters, keyless<br />
entry and push button start.<br />
It also has the added safety<br />
buffer of Suzuki’s advanced<br />
forward detection system, lane<br />
keep function, lane departure<br />
warning, weaving alert and blind<br />
spot monitoring.<br />
Braking is upgraded over the<br />
GLX with disc brakes all round<br />
and dual sensor brake support<br />
comprising a monocular camera<br />
Ratings out of 10: Performance 6; Handling 7; Build Quality<br />
7; Comfort 6; Passenger and Load Space 6; Styling 7; Value<br />
for money 7; Safety – Five Star ANCAP crash rating.<br />
Overall points out of 10: 6.5<br />
that “sees” mid-to-long distance<br />
and can detect pedestrians.<br />
Mechanically, the cheaper GLX<br />
and RS share the same 1.2-litre<br />
4-cylinder motor teamed with the<br />
Suzuki Smart Hybrid system<br />
This mild hybrid uses a motor<br />
to support fuel-consuming<br />
standing starts and acceleration<br />
and utilises automatic stop-start<br />
with the petrol motor shutting<br />
down when the car is stationary<br />
in traffic.<br />
Together, the 1.2-litre engine<br />
and electric motor have a<br />
combined power output of<br />
64kW, which, by today’s hybrid<br />
standards, is modest, but then this<br />
is older hybrid technology.<br />
Established<br />
since 1982<br />
This rather limp power output<br />
makes for pedestrian, rather<br />
than electrifying, performance.<br />
However, the sedate progress<br />
gives you more time to appreciate<br />
the fuel savings the motor is<br />
making, and the impressively low<br />
emissions of 94g/km.<br />
The lack of performance intent<br />
is mitigated somewhat by the<br />
engine’s smoothness and low<br />
noise levels. I was disappointed at<br />
just how little time the test vehicle<br />
operated in electric only mode<br />
over flat terrain in around town<br />
driving. Hopefully an all-new<br />
Swift due here in the next few<br />
months does better.<br />
Despite its advancing years,<br />
the current Swift remains a<br />
clever design. A good example<br />
is the more compact engine<br />
compartment that frees up more<br />
cabin and load space, although<br />
never in copious amounts.<br />
A clean modern fascia<br />
complete with seven cup-holders<br />
is a masterstroke, but not the<br />
prevalence of hard plastic surfaces<br />
through out the cabin that are<br />
reminder of the Swift’s budget car<br />
DNA.<br />
MacPherson strut and<br />
coil spring suspension have<br />
successfully under pinned<br />
Swifts for quite a while. Further<br />
refinements made for this model<br />
provide small but worthwhile<br />
improvements.<br />
It’s now more adept at absorbing<br />
bumps and vehicle occupant<br />
comfort has improved, but the<br />
suspension can be noisy over high<br />
frequency bumps during lowspeed<br />
town driving.<br />
The Swift trademark agility is<br />
better than ever and the steering<br />
crisp and responsive, making<br />
for a playful and engaging drive<br />
over undulating roads, and is an<br />
expected bonus in a mini hatch in<br />
this price bracket.<br />
