Water quality of estuary revealedFRASER WALKER-PEARCE
Popular windsurfing areas and some shellfish gathering spots in the estuary are riddled with disease-causing bacteria.
Latest research released by Environment Canterbury has shed light on the state of the es-tuary – including where is safe to swim and to gather shellfish.
The estuary by Humphreys Drive, a popular windsurfing area received a “fair” grad-ing – as did the estuary by Mt Pleasant Yacht Club.
This means the site is “gener-ally satisfactory” for swim-ming, but there are “many” potential sources of faecal material.
Beachville Rd jetty, Spit Tip and Moncks Bay faired slightly better, with “good” grades,
which means “satisfactory” for swimming with an exception after rainfalls.
But it was a mixed bag for safety of shellfish for human consumption from the estuary.
Cockles and pipis are regu-larly collected from the estuary.
According to the ECan report, shellfish filter water to get food, ingesting bacteria and viruses form the water that can accumulate in their gut.
The report said it is unsafe to consume shellfish in the estuary by Humphreys Drive.
It was safe to consume shell-fish at Shag Rock at high tide, but not at low tide.
Shellfish could be consumed safely in the estuary by Beach-ville Rd jetty.
In spite of this, Canterbury Medical Officer of Health Dr
Alistair Humphrey said no one should consume food from the estuary – especially after rainfall.
Heavy levels of excrement from ducks and canadian geese were the main culprit, with storm wa-ter runoff flush-ing dog and hu-man excrement into the rivers and estuary, Dr Humphrey said.
“E.coli levels usually exceed recreational water guidelines during normal weather condi-tions, and after rainfall the
water is always unsafe. No one should swim in, or consume food from, these waterways,” he said.
Redcliffs Residents Associa-tion chairman Fletcher Stanton said in spite of these results, he still felt it was okay for people to swim, especially by the Mt Pleasant Yacht Club over the weekend.
“There were lots of families swimming out there, which was great to see. I think that’s because there’s a good tidal
flow which clears it out quite regularly.
“A few years ago when they used to dump the sewage in there fair enough, we should stay away. But now I feel it’s a lot safer,” he said.
Avon-Otakaro Network co-chairman Evan Smith (left) said he was not surprised at the state of the rivers near the estuary as Christchurch’s “Victorian” wastewater system was only being restored to pre-quake levels.

EMMA-JANE MCLENNANLocal beer barons John and Val Harrington have mass-pro-duced the beer that they made for the actors and crew in The Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
The St Andrews Hill couple who own Harrington’s Brewer-ies have released ‘SobeRing Thought,’ a dark low-alcohol stout which the company first created for Peter Jackson’s smash-hit film series.
This comes only weeks after Harrington’s released its line of Mt Pleasant-inspired brews, to help raise money for the re-build of the community centre.
The partnership started more than 15 years ago, when the brewery was approached by Weta Workshop.
“They said they needed a beer they could drink on set without getting intoxicated – hobbits can’t handle their beer that well you know,” said brewery business direc-
tor Carl Harrington.A one per cent alcohol brew
was concocted and used in the fist movie – it became so popular that Harrington’s took over all brewing for the rest of the series.
“That was more than 30,000-litres over the whole lot of the movies, it was endless really. When the hobbits turn up to the Prancing Pony [an inn in the movie] to have a pint – that’s ours,” Mr Harrington said.
After the series became a worldwide success, Har-
rington’s applied to Warner Brothers for the rights to release the beer to the com-mercial market. They were suc-cessful.
“It’s been so popular on two different sales factors, one, the fans love it, and two – it’s a tasty low-alcohol craft beer in its own right,” said sales man-ager Dan Patrick.
The bottles are selling at select South Island New World and Fresh Choice supermarkets and bottle stores, for about $14.99 per four-pack.
The brewery is looking to
launch into duty free stores, the North Island and Australia, Mr Patrick said.
Busloads of tourists visiting Hobbiton and other filming sites are also turning up at the breweries’ doors in Phillips-town and Wigram.
• Big expansion plans brewing, p12-13
PROUD: Harrington’s Breweries director Carl Harrington, sales manager Dan Patrick and production manager Mark White show off some of The Lord of the Rings beers just relaunched to market.
SWIMMERS INJUREDA man in his 20s was taken to hospital after being injured while swimming at Sumner recently. St John sent an ambulance to the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club. He suffered moderate injuries. A man was also taken to Christchurch Hospital after he was injured while swimming in Clifton recently. St John sent an ambulance to the scene at the Sumner Surf Life Sav-ing Club. The man in his 20s was taken to hospital with moderate injuries.
WATER RESTRICTIONSAkaroa continues to have level two water restrictions in place. The level two restrictions were introduced on January 1 and mean residents and visitors can only water their gardens using hand-held hoses. City council water and waste unit manager Tim Joyce said the demand on Akaroa’s water supply increases as people occupy holiday homes for the summer. He said level two restrictions were needed so there is a fair supply for every-one over the summer months.

Three people from the Bay Harbour News area have received New Years honours, including an All Black forward pack coach who lives in Gover-nors Bay.
Mike Cron (right), who has been involved with the All Blacks since 2004, is now a member of the New Zealand Order of Merit.
Little River’s Kevin Blogg and Sumner’s Darren Wright join him.
Mr Blogg has spent the past 20 years assisting people with disabilities in the Canterbury region to find employment, and founded the Catapult Employ-ment Services Trust in 2003.
He has since retired from the trust, but continues his involve-ment as a patron.
In addition to the services he has helped form, Mr Blogg spends many hours supporting and mentoring individuals in his own time.
Mr Wright, Sumner’s Volun-teer Fire Brigade deputy chief fire officer, received his award for services to the community.
He has been chairman of the
Christchurch Community Fo-rum since 2011 and has made a significant contribution in this role to the Canterbury Earth-quake Recovery Authority for the Greater Christchurch area.
Previously Mr Wright was the chairman of the Sumner Community Residents Associa-tion and has been the trustee of the Sumner School Board of Trustees since 2006.
Mr Wright ia also a past president of the Mid Canter-bury Fire Brigades Sub Asso-ciation.

Making a difference is funMargaret Jefferies – Chairwoman of Project Lyttelton
I am very aware with all the many changes that surround us – climate change, TPPA craziness, financial crises, increased gap between rich and poor, the polluting of our water systems, cut backs on essential services – and these are just for starters – that we (and in this case me) need to look at what can be done individually that makes a difference to the way we treat our planet and the various species on it (us included).
I don’t believe this has to be a sack cloth and ashes sort of thing, we can have fun while making a difference.
So one thing I am doing along with my friend Lucette, is address carbon emissions from our transport.
I am in a two-person household with two cars. I can manage with less with a bit of planning. One car for the household? How about 1.5? That seems about right!
So Lucette and I decided to car share. We have just bought an all electric car, a Nissan Leaf. Lucette found it in Auckland, the car has now been shipped down, and is now parked at home. It is so fun to drive.
I must admit that buying a near new car is way out of my
bracket, but this again is an example of how with creative thinking we can solve such issues. Hence the car share idea. We both belong to the Harbour Pool – a savings pool where people get to use money without having to pay interest on the capital. (Why have banks grow rich on my back!) The pool was happy to forward me some of the money for my part of the car.
Of course the days I don’t have the car I can use the excellent bus service that our city provides.
The Bay Harbour News asked readers whether they thought Lyttelton-Mt Herbert Com-munity Board member Adrian Te Patu should step down from his role on the board.
Mark Whyte, of Lyttelton – Adrian Te Patu has given many
years of service both formal and informal to the local community and continues to do so even though he now lives in Wan-ganui.
I think he should certainly stay on the Lyttelton-Mt Hebert Community Board as a member
until the next elections. I for one support his view that spending $25k of public money on an early by-election makes no sense whatever.
Thank you Adrian, for all your good work, and the best of luck in Wanganui.

Lyttelton’s Oxford St over-bridge will be closed while re-pairs are being made to a nearby wharf this year.
A Lyttelton Port of Christchurch spokeswoman said the port needed to repair part of one of the inner-harbour wharves.
This required the temporary closure of the bridge to public vehicles, she said.
The bridge is the main access way to catch the Diamond Har-bour ferry.
The spokeswoman said al-though a contract for the work had not been awarded, the work was expected to take place some time in the first or second quar-ter of this year.
It is not known how long the work would take, she said.
“However, pedestrians will be able to continue to use the over-
bridge to access the Diamond Harbour ferry.”
Environment Canterbury pub-lic transport manager David Stenhouse said ECan was work-ing closely with the port and other stakeholders on solutions to the closure.
ECan was expecting detailed information early this year, then it would be able to work through solutions to ensure public trans-port will continue to run effec-tively in the area.

A Facebook post has helped the Sumner SuperValue identify three shoplifting suspects.
Owner Nick Brown said about $60 of alcohol and groceries was stolen last Tuesday.
It wasn’t until later when Mr Brown looked at CCTV footage that he realised what had hap-pened.
Mr Brown posted the CCTV footage on Facebook and within a few days he received about 25 messages and phone calls with
names and information of who people believed the suspects were.
He said the response from the community was “amazing.”
The footage on the supermar-ket’s Facebook page has received more than 20 comments and has been shared almost 200 times since its upload last Wednesday.
Mr Brown has given police the CCTV footage and passed on in-formation from the public about the suspects.
Mr Brown has yet to hear from police if they have found the sus-pects.
EVIDENCE: The identities of these two suspects were caught on this CCTV footage.

Hi Seb. Did you compete in the Waimairi Beach competition on the weekend?
Hi. Yes I did, I went pretty well so I’m very happy. I won the under 19 ironman, and came second in the board race and the swim race.
Wow nice work. What schools have you been to?
I started off at Star of the Sea school, and now I’m at St Bede’s – been there since Year 9, and I love it there.
Nice. Do you have a favourite subject?
Probably geography – I love learning about the world around you, it’s pretty cool, and I’ve got this great South African teacher, his accent makes the classes.
Tell me about how you started out surfing and surf life saving?
I started both with my parents’
help. They chucked me on a surf board at age four and started nippers at age seven at Sumner SLSC.
It’s got a pretty flash clubhouse these days, it used to be quite rough to say the least.
Is it hard to train on the
really cold days when everyone else is warm on-shore?
Yeah, it can be pretty rough
with some of the early morning starts knowing others are still warm in bed! It’s just a case of staying focused. It’s funny be-cause all of my mates just say if it’s too hard just don’t do it, and I think that drives me to keep going.
Have you had many memo-rable rescues?
Yes, I have made a few. The most memorable rescue was last year when I was 15, it was right in front of Cave Rock, where three guys were caught in a rip and they didn’t realise that. I had to go out on the rescue board which was pretty exhausting tugging them back into shore for about 100m. I had to tell the others to stay calm and I’d come back for them.
That’s pretty awesome! What did your parents think?
Mum and Dad (Murray and Andrea) are kind of used to it, being lifeguards themselves. They were both at the club for the annual ‘grey patrol’ (a lifeguard patrol by the older members of the club) and it just so happened that day they had to do a lot of rescues, pretty much in the exact same spot as mine were.
Would you say they were the drivers for you to start your life saving?

Yeah, they were the ones that pushed Lucy (my sister) and I into the sport. Lucy is pretty good as well, she’s made multiple Canterbury teams as well as rep-resenting New Zealand before.
Where in your opinion is the best place to surf in Christ-church?
Taylors Mistake is always great for a short board ride, and I love the Scarborough waves, they’re always good. There are a few rips out there but if you know what you’re doing, they can take you out to the deeper waves.
What’s the best place you’ve competed in?
Last year when I was repre-senting Canterbury, we went to Ruakaka in Northland, it was such a beautiful place. The water was about 23 deg C! We got some awesome waves there and the team did quite well. For at-mosphere, you can’t beat Mount Maunganui.
Did you have any main com-petitors when you were young? Any mates you competed against?
Not so much rivals, but it was always against my mates, but back in the day it was just a way of socialising and hanging out with my mates.
What’s your first memory at the beach?
There’s only one that really
stands out. When I was surf-ing at age 5, I got completely barrelled by a wave, and I was held under the waves for what I thought was ages. It almost put me off surfing, it was probably the most freaked out I’ve been on the beach.
Are you close to your family?Yes, really close with them.
It’s a bit hard to be when you’re
training two times a day, but we always make time to sit down and have dinner together.
Who is your go-to person if you need to talk to someone about something?
Probably the old man – he’s always got good advice, and he always knows the right thing to say or do. I’m pretty close with everyone in the family and the
extended family because we all live in Christchurch.
What did you get for Christ-mas?
I caught up with everyone from both sides of the family which was great. I got a new wet-suit, a board bag, some money, just the usual stuff as well – like clothes (laughs).
How did you spend New Year?
It was really fun, a group of about six of us went down to Wanaka and a mate has a house down there, so we went out on his boat and swam and all of those good things.
Get up to much mischief?Nothing too serious!Good to hear. What are your
goals for this year?I really want to do well in my
final year of school. I also want to achieve all my goals for surf life saving. If I can get good results at nationals and regionals and improve my surfing I will have achieved my goals.
What would your dream job be?
That’s a tough one. I’d prob-ably want to be the surf com-missioner for the World Surfing League. They get to do the world surfing circuit without having to do too much work, that would be awesome.

Firefighters were called to a “mysterious” incident where playground equipment was set on fire over the weekend.
Fire communications shift manager Andrew Norris said a Sumner fire crew was called to Sumner School on Colenso St, after an alarm activation.
“There was a window open in a classroom that smoke had drifted through, activating the alarm,” he said.
The playground equipment, which was smouldering by the time the fire crew arrived was quickly dealt with, but firefighters soon became sus-picious.
“Suspicions were raised that a burglary had taken place, especially with the window being open in the classroom so we passed the incident on to police. Before our guys left they discovered a burnt soccer ball, a pottle of sour cream and some chilli sauce, so things got even more mysterious,” Mr Norris said.

FESTIVE: The Hagley-Ferrymead ward had the highest expenditure on installing Christmas decorations in 2013, which covers the central city including Re:Start Mall. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
BRIDGET RUTHERFORD
Take a look around Banks Pen-insula in the festive season and what do you see?
Fewer Christmas decorations.Banks Peninsula, which
includes the Akaroa-Wairewa and Lyttelton-Mt Herbert wards, has the lowest figures spent on installing Christmas decorations in the city.
A city council spokeswoman said in 2012, it spent $637 on installing decorations and banners on streetlights in the ward.
That compared with $6470 being spent in the Hagley-Fer-rymead ward the same year. The ward does, however, cover the central city.
Spreydon-Heathcote had $8894 spent, however, some of the Christmas trees which were usually installed in the central city were put up in Sydenham as a result of the earthquakes.
In 2013, the city council spent $540 on Banks Peninsula Christ-mas cheer, while $36,610 was spent in Hagley-Ferrymead, $758 on Burwood-Pegasus and $2195 in Fendalton-Waimairi.
Decorations are installed in key entry points and high traffic sites.
If a particular location or ward does not have many banner sites, it will have fewer decora-
tions installed.Individual community boards
can also choose to spend some of their funding on decorations for their ward, which the Akaroa-Wairewa Community Board did last year.
The city council did not have to put up decorations in 2014, because it did not want to pay the $55,000 installation cost.
However, City Care came to the party, and offered to foot the bill.
Costings for the 2015 Christ-mas period are yet to be con-firmed.
In 2012 the city council spent $31,718.50 on buying new decorations and $23,187.31 on installing and removing them.
The following year it spent $30,000 on decorations and $44,494.21 on installation and removal, while in 2014, $86,473.33 was spent on decora-tions while City Care paid for the installation.
In 2014 the city council sent 125 Christmas cards to various institutes, supporters and con-tractors which cost $150.
The same year, Mayor Lianne Dalziel sent 250 cards, costing $350.
But if you want to receive a card from the mayor, you might be out of luck – Ms Dalziel only sends cards to those she receives them from.

FRASER WALKER-PEARCE
A horse drowned in Akaroa Har-bour last week after it bolted from its paddock during a routine vet check-up.
The horse could not be saved from drowning, in spite of the ef-forts of the Akaroa Volunteer Fire Brigade, last Monday.
The brigade was called by two Akaroa residents, who owned the horse.
A vet was trying to determine why the horse was becoming in-creasingly sick, while it was be-ing looked at it bolted through the open paddock gate, onto the road and into the water.
Akaroa Volunteer Fire Brigade chief fire officer Mark Thomson said: “The horse was in a pad-dock and it bolted – ran to the sea and we only just arrived when it died.”
The fire crew arrived at Akaroa Harbour to find a group of men in the water, trying to hold the horse’s head above the water line.
He said: “There was a vet on the scene as well as the men in the water. We had only just ar-rived when it passed away, which is very unfortunate.”
The owners of the horse did not want to be identified, and made no comment to questions from the Bay Harbour News.

Rare conditions affecting sheep on a Little Akaloa farm have brought together industry specialists to help solve the problem.
A combination of rare conditions have troubled Hamish, Annabel, Alastair and Sue Craw’s sheep on their farm, Longridge Agriculture Ltd, for the past 10 years.
The animal health issues have yet to be explained.
To start with, their sheep were wasting away with an extreme case of wearing teeth.
In 2013 an extremely rare cal-cium deficiency was causing their lambs’ legs to fracture, and in 2015 milk fever issues also arose in their ewes.
Alastair Craw said in the begin-ning the situation was having a significant economic impact on the business, with the more productive animals faring the worst.
“We battled for a number of years to get to grips with what the wasting and starvation was about,” he said.
The rare conditions have brought together vet Richard Bishop, Massey University senior lecturer Dr Anne Ridler, Massey Univer-sity vet pathologist Dr Keren Dit-tmer, Ravensdown’s animal health manager Julie Wagner and Agri manager Rangi Holland.
Dr Wagner said there were a va-riety of complex issues going on that needed to be addressed and further investigated.
“Because the fractured bone condition is so rare and the teeth wear is a major economic issue in New Zealand, Ravensdown de-
cided to fund some of the research to help the Craw family and see if we could discover something use-ful for the national issue of teeth wearing.”
Richard Bishop from Vet Life in Little River said they were using three points of monitoring (blood
testing) at pre-weaning, mid-lac-tation and weaning to analyse the results and identify any patterns or anomalies.
“We’ve been monitoring the ewes and lambs in different groups, on improved pasture and native improved pasture. We’re
reviewing that information and ap-plying it to any conditions to see if it is relevant.”
Dr Wagner said the group was working as a team to monitor the situation.
It was the beginning of an in-vestigation that may take several years, she said.
Hamish Craw said the situation had been extremely challenging.
“At the start you blame your-self, wondering what you’ve done wrong or what you’ve mucked up. It can really knock your con-fidence.”
He said if the teeth wear gets worse it may impact more on pro-ductivity in the future, but he was
finding it easier to handle with the industry support behind him.
“Even with all this research we’re still not sure what is caus-ing our sheep to have all these problems on this property. But the backing of the scientists and the industry is making it a lot easier for us to cope with. It’s good to know at least that it’s not a result of anything we’re doing wrong,” he said.
“Finding the solution is very im-portant, not just for us, but for all New Zealand sheep farmers who experience teeth wear and other health problems in their stock that impact on animal well being and productivity.”
Bid to beat problems with peninsula sheep
SUPPORT: Hamish and his father Alastair Craw are working with industry experts to try and find out what is causing the rare conditions affecting their sheep.
TESTING: Ravensdown animal health manager and vet Julie Wagner, farmer Alistair Craw, Longridge Agriculture’s vet Richard Bishop, and Hamish Craw take blood samples from sheep.

Harrington’s Breweries is already in full swing for the year, churning out beers from its Wigram and Phillipstown sites at full bore – and for good reason.
It’s got plans to double its bottling capacity, expand into the North Island and ramp up overseas exports this year, punching well above its weight as a local Christchurch brewery.
It’s an ambitious set of goals, and timely too, business partner Craig Harrington said.
“We’re celebrating 25 years this year, which is pretty significant. Hopefully we can take the business to the next level.”
The business had its beginnings on July 11, 1991, when John and Val Harrington and their sons, Craig and Carl, opened up their first brewery on Kilmore St.
What started as a humble microbrewery soon became so popular it outgrew its site, and another was opened on Ferry Rd.
Almost 25 years and multiple sites later – one in Ferrymead having been closed after it was badly damaged in the February 2011 earthquake – the business operates out of two breweries.
Its Ferry Rd site is still going strong, while a second in Waltham has taken over the majority of beer making.
In May-March, its new $2 million bottling line will arrive, almost doubling processing capacity. The specialist equipment has been ordered in from Italy and the Wigram brewery, just off Parkhouse Rd, will be expanded to accommodate it. It’s “very exciting” for Carl Harrington.
“It’s a fully automated, high-speed bottling line. You forklift a crate of bottles on and take a packaged crate off.”
It will be able to process 2500-litres per hour, packaging 7000 stubbies.
The brewery is hoping to use it to go from 1.6 million-litres a year to a rate of three million by the end of the year.
Its annual turnover of around $11-12 million will be dramatically raised by this.
But that’s just the start of plans – the bigger picture is where the beer is actually going.
While Harringtons is already selling on the North Island market, it has just started distributing on a much larger scale through major supermarket chains, Foodstuffs and Progressive, as well as all major bottlestores.
Then there’s plans to boost
exports into Australia, where New Zealand craft beers are very popular at the moment.
There’s also the Asian and American markets, which Harringtons is hoping to crack with its SobeRing low-alcohol beer – originally created for the filming of the smash-hit trilogy, recently re-released in New Zealand.
While all this expansion is going on, Harringtons continues to be a family-owned brewery, the largest of its kind in New Zealand.
Three generations are work-ing there now – John and wife Val taking more of a backseat role as Carl and wife Trudy take the reins. Carl’s sons, Mason and Bo are also coming through the ranks, learning the business from the brewery floor up.
As for larger companies swooping in to take over, while Harringtons has been “ro-manced” a couple of times, Carl said it’s going to stay a family business for a while yet.
“We just see so much more potential. Here’s to another 25 years.”
Harrington’s brewing bigHarrington’s Breweries has expansion plans in the pipeline – plans that will see the Christchurch company taking on the North Island and overseas beer markets. Emma-Jane McLennan looks at the breweries’ proud history, and where it could be going

plans for future expansionThe story of successful Christchurch brewer and businessman John Harrington began with a 15-year-old boy driving a food truck on the West Coast.
That’s where a young John grew up – the middle child of seven – going to the local state school, roaming the town with friends and play-ing rugby at the weekends.
His family did pretty well for themselves considering their size, he said: “My Dad
was a very good provider. We always had open doors and even my mates today, who used to come around for a feed after footy, remember the table was always laden with mum’s baking.”
But life was to change drastically for John – when he was 15 his father became ill, and decided it was time for him to take over driving the family food truck (below).
“It was just the right time,” he said.
So he left school and took over the business, driving
around the West Coast selling
meats,
seafood, pies and the like door-to-door.
“Those days ladies never had cars so they’d just wait at home for me to come around with their food. They’d come out with their plates, buy what they needed and serve it up to their families that night,” he said.
When he was 19 he met “the most gorgeous girl,” Valerie, in town. The two courted for three years, got married, and John turned 22 on the honey-moon.
The Harringtons went on to have two healthy baby boys – Craig, born in 1967, and Carl, born in 1968.
When the youngest was about five-years-old, a local noticed the family was do-ing well for themselves, and
offered to buy the food truck business.
It was on his dad’s advice that John did so: “He said, ‘You sell it up and go to Christchurch and buy a pub.’ And that’s exactly what I did.”
The Harringtons bought the West Melton Tavern, then moved onto the Hillsborough Tavern, then the Grenadier – which was close to Christch-urch Hospital before it was demolished in the earthquakes.
Each they owned and oper-ated with pride. “I loved run-ning up and down the bar,” John said. They did well out of the business, set a freehold agreement on the pub and retired with a steady stream of income.
Retirement sounded like
bliss, but after four years John decided enough was enough.
“Waking up every morning with nothing to do was not my style. So we started a little brewery, as a hobby.”
The Harringtons opened their doors at the old Wards Brew-ery site on Kilmore St, on July 11, 1991.
It was a family business with all hands on deck. Craig and Carl helped with all aspects of beer making – brewing, filling kegs and distributing the bot-tles.
Demand soon exceeded sup-ply and in 1993 they moved to their Ferry Rd site – which they still brew out of today.
The business grew exponen-tially from there, and as his son and daughter-in-law Carl and Trudy take over John is more than happy to take a back seat: “I’m the chief taster and it’s a wonderful job,” he said [laughing].
John and Val live in a “love-ly” home on St Andrews Hill, “just doodling around” keeping the grounds tidy, enjoying time with his seven grandchildren and popping in to taste some beersies as often as he likes.
“I’m 74-years-old now, but I still think like a young person,” he said.

HOLY GRAIL: Chief executive officer of Living Springs Denis Aldridge, Raphael Aldridge (left) and Jekabs Jakstin had a look at the Webb Ellis Cup on its travels around New Zealand. Each member of the All Blacks squad chose a place to take the cup, when they returned as champions of the Rugby World Cup a few months ago. All Blacks scrum coach Mike Cron nominated Living Springs as his choice, and next to the World Cup is his winning medal. It will be returning to England in the coming weeks until the next World Cup, which will be held in Japan in 2019.

SportsChristchurch triathletes have a new race on the horizon in 2016.
The Sea 2 Sky challenge race has been officially added to the calendar for April 2 starting at Scarborough Beach.
Race organiser John Newsom said he hopes the race will put Christchurch back on the triathlon map.
“It is a unique course . . . we are filling a gap in the triathlon sea-son but also offer a race like no other in New Zealand.
“We also want to make it an international event in the years ahead and bring international athletes back to Christchurch,” he said.
Newsom who also heads the House of Travel Festival said this new venture will be a nice contrast to the flat and fast course at Pegasus.
“Not only is the bike a brilliant scenic and challenging course but the run is something else. The Godley Head trail sweeps along the coast before tackling Scarborough Hill,” he said.
Entries opened last week and numbers will be limited due to re-strictions placed by the Department of Conservation.

The Mainland Eagles academy was set up to give young and up-coming New Zealand basketballers a chance to experience the US basketball scene and an opportunity to gain scholarships to US universities. The team will play two tournaments in Las Vegas and San Antonio. Sofia, 15, was also named in the Canterbury Wildcats team, being one of the youngest players. PHOTO: RICHARD CONNELLY\GAMEFACENZ

Worried about a MOLE?
[Edition datE]2
Take it easyTo help make the transition from holidays
to work, pace yourself for the first two days. Return calls, get up to speed with what has happened and ensure you go straight home to rest. “One of the reasons why some of us can get in a funk is because we return to work full bore — it’s the same syndrome as getting a cold or flu in the first week of your holidays,” says Dr Meredith Fuller, a Melbourne-based psychologist. Make sure colleagues and clients don’t bombard you, and allow yourself little breaks such as walking around the block or sitting outside to have your coffee in peace.
Remember to be positiveCount your blessings and thank your stars
for the refreshing break. Don’t think of work as a burden but a time to make a fresh start. Wear brighter colours and pop your favourite holiday picture onto your screen saver.
Let the creative juices flowWhen we are in a relaxed and alert state
— after a rejuvenating break — our creative juices flow well. “Resist the temptation to flop back into your usual chair in your usual posture,” adds Fuller. “Brainstorm, lie outside on the grass, or borrow someone else’s office and reflect on your work.” What could you do differently? How could you incorporate any aha moments from your time away? Do a mind-map, and impress everyone with your enthusiasm.
Blues are temporaryRemember that after a week, you will be
over the sulks, and ready to engross yourself in your work life again. Be easy on yourself for the first week back — watch a movie, go for a massage, sleep longer or plan your next holiday — whatever makes you happy.
How to beat back to work blues
Focus on a new projectPerhaps you simply need a fun activity one
night a week to keep your mind engaged, and your body healthy. Try dancing, fencing or something wild. It may be work related — perhaps you could join a new professional association, volunteer for a task force, or shadow someone from another department? “Keeping active is the key to feeling alive. You don’t have to go on holiday for that,” Fuller says.
Don’t make any drastic decisionsFuller advises against making any major
decisions right after a break. “Don’t resign and don’t dump your girlfriend,” she says. Your judgment could be clouded by the haze of holidays. If you’re unhappy coming back to work, examine if it’s because you’re no longer
on holiday or is it really your work. If you feel nothing’s improving even after a month or so, then that’s your clue to rethink your job or even your career.
Put your health firstGetting back to work and into healthy
patterns can be a challenge. “Start your first week back with healthy breakfasts, drink plenty of water and avoid too much tea and coffee,” says Natasha Meerding, spokesperson for the Dietitians Association of Australia. She also advises that we should incorporate some physical activity the moment we are back. Being physically active can help with alertness, improve mood and prevent weight gain.
After the fun and frolic of holidays, it’s never easy to get back into a routine.It was a free fall while you were on holidays but now it’s back to the daily grind of
rush hour and deadlines. No wonder you feel it’s all gone too quickly. Focus on the following to start a fresh.
“One of the reasons why some of us can get in a funk is because we
return to work full bore”.

When a car has a facelift it’s not often that the price drops as well.
Well, the reality is that you can never guarantee what surprise is going to spring up next from the Subaru stable.
The entire Subaru line-up has had a lot of changes for 2015 and, in the Forester’s case, a very minor facelift brings with it extra fitment and a drop in price. It is now a far more tempting proposition amidst the host of two-wheel-drive models which are gaining good traction (no pun intended) in the SUV market.
Notable inclusions in the facelifted Forester are a new info-tainment system, and 7in touch screen, satellite navigation on Premium grade, daytime running lights and new heater controls.
While these changes aren’t spectacular, if you add in a $4000 price decrease, down to $49,990, for the Premium model as tested, the Forester is a rather attractive purchase.
On the subject of price, all models have come down consid-erably, the range now starting at $39,990 and ending at $54,990 for the 2-litre turbo. Incidentally, the Forester is still available with die-sel power at $46,990.
The test car was petrol-fuelled, and it gets Subaru’s trademark 2.5-litre, quad-camshaft, horizontally opposed, four-cylinder engine. Even though the turbocharged
engine is very tempting, the natu-rally aspirated 2.5-litre unit is the mainstream engine, and it does a sterling job in terms of power out-put and economy.
Rated with 126kW and 235Nm (5800rpm and 4100rpm respec-tively), and listed with an 8.1-litre per 100km (35mpg) combined cycle fuel usage rating, the Forester is not short on the ingre-dients which make it feisty and frugal.
After a weekend test, the trip computer was constantly showing around 9l/100km (31mpg), and registered a 7.5l/100km (37mpg) instantaneous readout travelling at 100km/h (engine speed 1800rpm).
While 126kW is pretty much the modern benchmark for an engine of this size, the Forester makes good use of its power outputs and isn’t burdened by weight, at just 4.6m it weighs in at 1488kg which translates to a respectable power-to-weight ratio.
A lot of that is gained by the inclusion of a continuously variable transmission. The benefit of CVT is its lightweight, and the
ability to harness power without loss through a torque converter. As a consequence, the Forester has good acceleration, it will cut out a standstill to 100km/h time in under 10sec, and punches through a highway overtake in 6sec (80km/h to 120km/h). Strength for the latter is provided by the healthy torque figure and the natural force developed by horizontally opposed engines, they work tirelessly through the mid-range.
With a push towards dairying there’s not a lot of forestry left around our rural townships, but there is a short forest track near Hororata which is as yet unlogged. It includes a small river ford,
and with a generous 220mm of ground clearance the Forester is adept in the rough stuff, with fully independent suspension and permanently engaged drive to all wheels, the driver can gain plenty of confidence travelling cross-country.
Even though the tyres (Bridgestone Dueler 225/55 x 18in) don’t have an off-road tread pattern, grip is still well enhanced, and if treated sensibly the Forester will take you places well off-the- beaten-track thanks to an X-Mode driver assist function, it is there to manage engine output and drive in hilly sections.
On road handling is also keen, constant four-wheel-drive encour-
ages grip, and bearing in mind the Forester is based on the Impreza floorpan with its low centre of gravity, the Forester is an SUV which handles like the family sedan.
For its price the Premium spec Forester is incredibly well appointed; over and above the items I mentioned in my intro-duction Premium grade ushers in leather trim with heated front seats, electric seat adjustment, steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, dual-zone climate control, electric sunroof, electric tailgate, keyless entry and ignition, radar cruise control, automatic stop start, intelligent drive systems (Si Drive), and Eyesight safety technology the latter go a long way towards earning the Forester a five-star Australasian New Car Assessment Program safety rating.
The Forester has enjoyed solid sales in New Zealand, there are many buyers who just wouldn’t

Sumner seaside splendour 102a Esplanade, Sumner$1,220,0003 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 3 living rooms | 1 dining room | 2-car garage | Listing number: FM4695
Sheltered from the hustle and bustle by its position down a long drive, this immaculately presented property is spread over three levels, with the master bedroom located on the
top floor having its own ensuite, private balcony and views. The lower levels play host to a superbly appointed family bathroom (complete with spa bath) and a variety of versatile living spaces, including a separate lounge with a gas fire and an ocean outlook.
The luxurious Palazzo kitchen is a real highlight, with engineered stone benchtops, a Leisure oven all the way from the UK and compelling views back up to the valley. Other standout features inside include undertile heating in the entrance way, a powder room and a double internal access garage with laundry facilities. All EQC work has been completed.
A large balcony with outdoor lounge upstairs and a fabulous deck downstairs provides a sheltered BBQ and entertaining area, offering plenty of options when it comes to enjoying this most idyllic of settings. Of course, the location is simply superb – indulge in a morning jog along the esplanade, a surf before work, or a lazy stroll through the village on the weekends – everything you could ever wish for is right on your doorstep!
Having reached the decision to downsize, our vendors are now determined to achieve a result, so grab your surfboard, grab your chequebook and grab this life-changing opportunity!
