A QUIRKY initiative to keep 

traffic moving outside Mt 

Pleasant School has made a huge 

difference. 

Like many schools, there were

parking issues at drop-off and

leaving their cars and not parking

So caretaker Simon Hillyer 

came up with a novel idea. 

He made humorous signs,

QUIRKY: Mt Pleasant School caretaker Simon Hillyer 

and some of his signs outside the school. 

School traffic signs a talking point 

laminated them and put them 

up on the two-minute loading 

zone outside the school. 

The signs get rotated every 

week, with the Crusaders, 

Bart Simpson, Star Wars 

and Top Gun providing 

inspiration. 

Along with Mr Hillyer’s own 

dad-joke sensibilities. 

It’s a non-confrontational approach 

which seems to have hit 

the spot.

crime 

cameras 


A MOVE to put crime cameras 

into Sumner village has hit a 

speed bump. 

In December last year a group 

of concerned residents set up a 

Givealittle page with a goal of 

raising $4000 to buy two CCTV 

cameras. 

The target was hit in early 

January when Johnston Architects, 

based in Wakefield Ave, 

offered to match any donations 

made on the Safer Sumner 

Givealittle page. 

But after what group member 

Kathy Preston said had been 

“some lengthy consultations 

with the city council and the 

police” they have now been 

advised to purchase cameras 

that will work with the existing 

police surveillance system. 

The group needs to raise an 

additional $15,000 on top of the 

$4000 they already have. 

“Unfortunately, this is going 

to cost a lot more than we 

originally thought,” said Ms 

Preston.

Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi 

get in touch 

from the editor’s desk 

THAT’S ONE very innovative way to solve 

parking issues at drop-off and pick-up time 

zones at Mt Pleasant School on today’s 

front page. 

The innovative way? – humour drivers 

with great signage. 

School caretaker Simon Hillyer came up with the novel idea 

and it is working a treat, apparently. 

It is a great non-confrontational approach to getting people to 

do what you want them to do. 

Says Simon: “I’ve got a fairly warped sense of humour! We just 

try and keep it fresh.” You should be moonlighting for an ad 

agency. 

On another note, more delays in getting the CCTV cameras 

in Sumner up and running (page 1). 

They are a great idea but they have been dogged by delays.

Pathway trees to be replaced 


THE REMOVAL of 24 healthy 

trees has been approved as 

part of the Coastal Pathway 

landscape plan. 

Construction on the penultimate 

stage of the pathway is due 

to start by the end of October 

at a cost of $8.2 

million. 

It runs alongside 

Peacocks 

Gallop from Shag 

Rock, skirts the 

beach frontage of 

Tim Lindley 

the Sumner Surf 

Life Saving Club 

and joins the 

footpath at the start of the memorial 

walk near the Marriner 

St/Esplanade intersection. 

A golden totara, three pohutukawa, 

and three norfolk island 

pines are among those to be 

removed as part of the plan. 

Depending on the size and 

species of the trees, some may be 

relocated. A further 14 trees in 

poor condition will also go. 

The removals will make way 

for improvements to the Sumner 

beach car park, which includes 

better beach access and landscaping. 

They will be replaced by 

about 48 new trees – in some 

instances like for like, such as 

the norfolk pines. 

The Linwood-Central- 

Heathcote Community Board 

approved the plan last week. 

Board member Tim Lindley 

said it had been “very carefully” 

thought through. 

“I was impressed by how selective 

they are being . . . the overall 

plan of the Coastal Pathway is to 

increase the number of trees.” 


GOING: This Norfolk Island Pine is one of 38 trees pegged for removal as part of the 

Christchurch Coastal Pathway.

Funds to address freedom camping issues 


A FUNDING boost from the 

Government will help address 

freedom camping issues at 

summertime hot spots. 

The city council is in line for 

$415,000 following a recommendation 

from the Responsible 

Camping Working Group, 

which brings together representatives 

from the tourism industry, 

councils and Government agencies 

across New Zealand. 

It comes as the city council 

•From page 1 

“We are now in the process 

of applying for grants to raise 

the remaining funds required 

to set up these particular cameras. 

There is no time frame at 

present but we would like to see 

the system up and running by 

Christmas at the latest.” 

She said it was “too early” to 

say where the group were applying 

for funding. 

The purchase of the original 

cameras was prompted by a 

spate of aggravated burglaries 

in the Sumner and Mt Pleasant 

area in October last year. 

A 31-year-old man was jailed 

for three years this month in 

considers changes to the Freedom 

Camping Bylaw which 

would ban freedom camping in 

Akaroa, except in one area. 

Group member and Deputy 

Mayor Andrew Turner said the 

extra funding was a “welcome 

relief” as summer visitor numbers 

had peaked across the city 

and Banks Peninsula over the 

past two years. 

The money will pay for education 

and signage, monitoring 

and compliance and for extra 

toilets in the New Brighton 

relation to those and other offences.

Prevention Cameras in Public 

area. As a condition of funding 

all the measures must be in 

place by the start of December. 

It’s part of a package to try 

and address freedom camping 

issues. 

On top of the Government 

funding, the city council would 

pay for two staff to monitor 

compliance Monday-Friday, 

said head of regulatory compliance 

Tracey Weston.

PARTS OF State Highway 75 will 

need to be widened before signs 

asking slow drivers to pull over 

can be installed. 

The Banks Peninsula Community 

Board asked the New 

Zealand Transport Agency to 

look into the signs in December 

after a request from community 

group Love Little River. 

NZTA senior traffic and safety 

engineer David Scarlet told the 

board it had reviewed the road 

and it doesn’t currently meet the 

criteria. 

There needs to be a widened 

sealed shoulder area that slower 

drivers can use to move safely 

out the way. 

“The review showed that there 

aren’t any suitable places at the 

moment. However, we will be 

looking to see if there are some 

suitable places where we could 

construct a widened, sealed 

shoulder and seek funding for 

this in 2018/19,” Mr Scarlet said. 

Love Little River member Marcus 

Puentener said it was a step 

in the right direction. 

“It is frustrating that it has 

taken this long to get a response 

from NZTA, as there have been 

accidents caused by impatience 

over the last few years. But at 

least they are looking into it 

now,” said Mr Puentener. 

“We have to trust the experts, 

but surely there are a few places 

like the Birdlings Flat turn off 

that could be suitable without 

widening the road. We believe 

there are a number of straight, 

long sections of the road suitable 

for . . . pull over signs. These 

include the ‘mad mile’ just 

past Birdlings Flat turn off, 

Motukarara straight and the 

straight past Gebbies Cafe,” he 

said. 

There were four fatal crashes 

on SH75 from 2012-2016. From 


SH75 needs widening for pull over signs 

a total of 37 crashes over the 

same period, 33 were serious. In 

January last year, a 26-year-old 

Chinese national died after 

crossing the centre line and 

hitting another vehicle near Tai 

Tapu. 

One month later, more than 

20 people were injured when a 

bus collided with a car near the 

Hilltop Tavern. 

Akaroa police senior constable 

Tim Johnson said slow drivers 

impeding the flow of traffic were 

one of the biggest issues faced 

when policing SH75.

“There is a passing bay going 

up the Little River side, which 

foreign tourists don’t seem to 

realise means you keep left. They 

quite often just keep going in the 

middle lane which causes angst. 

There’s (another) two coming up 

from the Barry’s Bay side. The 

more (passing bays) there are, 

the better the traffic flows, but it 

would be a major undertaking, 

especially on the hill because 

there’s not a lot of verge anyway.” 

He said he would support more 

signage “depending on what it 

was, where and the type of sign.”

Exhibition 

to open on 

site of new 

museum 


A TEMPORARY art gallery 

on the new Lyttelton Museum 

site in London St will have 

community engagement at its 

heart. 

Ka Awatea is a project where 

artists create three miniature 

artworks and exhibit them in 

a series of three group exhibitions 

between September and 

December. 

A pop-up gallery the size of 

a shipping container will be 

installed on site this week to 

house the exhibition. The works 

will be based on the artists’ responses 

to historical materials 

in the museum collection. 

The intention is to “create 

a dialogue between past and 

present,” project director Holly 

Cunningham said. 

Around 25 artists have been 

selected with the first exhibition 

of about 11 artists likely to 

open at the end of September. 

Work is expected to commence 

on the new museum 

next year.

last week after the city 

council agreed to the

The outside adviser was 

to help the board “interpret

Darrell Latham. 

He said there were 

“incongruities” in city 

council policy related 

to HFHMA which had 

serious implications 

for residents. 

“We need clarification 

and answers now,” 

Dr Latham said. 

The Coastal-Burwood

CCRU is a group made 

up of coastal residents and 

experts who have recently 

flagged concerns about how 

1486 sites in a Restricted

HFHMA are being treated 

by city council planners. 

It recently held a public 

meeting, which attracted 

more than 100 residents, to 

discuss the concerns. 

The CCRU believes a

activity rule, recommended 

by the replacement District

panel, was left out when the 

plan was finalised last year. 

Without the discretionary 

rule, under the District

in the HFHMA is to be 

avoided.

Orchard memorial may still

A MEMORIAL orchard

Mr Wright and his wife 

Megan, and Kay and David

Mr Wright’s former

it become a community 

orchard dedicated to 

the two men. It has four 

existing apple and pear 

trees which were planted by 

Mr Wright. 

LINZ Christchurch 

group manager land and 

property, Jeremy Barr, said 

as a temporary caretaker 

of the land, it can approve 

changes with a “shortterm” 

impact of up to five 

years. 

He said a community 

garden may fall into this 

category. 

“There are some 

temporary community 

gardens operating on 

Crown-owned residential 

red zone land in the 

Ōtākaro/Avon River 

Corridor.” 

He said if the owners 

of the neighbouring 

properties were interested 

in developing a memorial 

garden, they should get in 

touch with LINZ. 

Mrs Purdue said she and 

her husband are now in 

their 80s and are not sure if 

they will pursue the matter 

with LINZ directly. 

But they do plan to get 

in touch with Lyttelton 

community groups that 

could help. 

“We’ll see what 

happens,” she said. 

“We are hopeful others 

with more community 

resources, wherewithal

KEEN: The Mt Pleasant School Boys Baking Club face-off in the cake week challenge. From left to 

right – Hamish, Jacob, George, Ollie, Isaac, Noah and Vinnie. 

SYMMETRY: The cake week challenge winners were Noah, 

for his rainbow chocolate cake (left) and Isaac who is hiding a 

delicious lemon cake under that bright icing. 

Boys bitten by the baking bug 


MT PLEASANT School teacher 

Ange Tutt has started a new 

craze for boys – baking. 

She initially set up a baking 

club in 2012, “to give pupils 

something positive and fun to do 

during the stressful earthquake 

days.” 

It ran in the third term each 

year and was originally popular 

with girls. 

However, after talking to a few 

boys Ms Tutt decided to target 

them this year. 

And lo – the Boys Baking Club 

was born. 

After starting with one boy 

(her own son), she now has seven 

– all from year 5/6. 

She reckons it was the rebrand 

which made the difference. 

“As soon as I named it Boys 

Baking the boys were suddenly 

very keen,” said Ms Tutt. 

They meet every Thursday 

lunchtime to taste and share 

their latest creation. 

Each week Ms Tutt issues 

a challenge and thus far 

muffins, cakes, baking with 

yeast and “200 grams of 

chocolate” have been faced and 

embraced. 

Prizes are given out to the boys 

for showing creativity and risktaking 

when baking. 

The cake challenge was one 

where they “upped their game” 

and created the most delicious 

cakes, Ms Tutt said. 

“It was a tough competition. In 

the end the boys decided Noah 

and Isaac deserved a prize for 

their incredible decorating.” 

She said their honesty and 

enthusiasm was amazing. 

“I have had photos from parents, 

showing me their commitment 

to the challenge – pouring 

over cookbooks looking for the 

perfect recipe.” 

All leftover baking heads home 

for them to share with their 

family (and sometimes it goes 

via their classroom teacher for a 

taste test). 

Yesterday the boys took part in 

a master class with Ms Tutt.

FUNDRAISING continues at 

pace for the Governors Bay Jetty 

Restoration Trust, which has 

set itself a goal of eight months 

to raise $600,000 towards 

restoring the historic structure. 

That would allow construction 

to begin in mid 2019. 

At its recent annual general 

meeting a range of ideas were 

put forward to help lift the profile 

of the campaign and widen 

it beyond Governors Bay. 

These included a possible 

“Jetty to Jetty Challenge” – a 

series of events between the 

Governors Bay jetty and New 

Brighton Pier. 

They could involve mountain 

biking, road biking, harriers 

and walking groups in a race 

from the pier to the jetty. 

Vintage car, sports car and 

motor-cycle rallies between the 

two landmarks was also suggested. 

Other ideas included a kayaking, 

paddle boarding, yachting 

and swimming event between 

Lyttelton and the jetty. 

And an old-fashioned sports 

day at Allandale featuring sack 

races, egg and spoon races, 

three-legged races and sprints 

over 300m – which is the length 

of the jetty. 

RESTORE: 

Some creative 

fundraising 

ideas have 

been proposed 

to rebuild 

Governors Bay 

jetty. 

Creative ideas for jetty fundraiser 

The jetty was badly damaged 

in the 2011 earthquakes, 

prompting the formation of the 

trust which bought it for $1 

from the city council in 2016. 

It will cost an estimated $3.2 

million to restore with $535,000 

already committed by the city 

council. 

The trust has raised $200,000 

so far from community and 

donations and has submitted 

grant applications to the Rata 

Foundation and Lotteries Commission, 

trust secretary Louisa 

Eades said. 

Resource consent has been 

lodged and they hope it will be 

granted by November.

CONSTRUCTION of a 

replacement set of beach-access 

steps on Beachville Rd, Redcliffs, 

is set to begin within two months 

after a two-year search for 

funding. 

The Linwood-Heathcote-Central 

Community Board 

approved the new steps 

at the eastern end of the 

road, near the Main Rd 

intersection, with discretionary 

funding at their 

meeting last week. 

Their construction 

would allow access to 

a small area of beach, a 

popular play area for children 

and for launching kayaks. 

Steps there had been damaged 

in the 2010/2011 earthquakes 

and then removed as part of the 

Eastern Seawall works. Replacement 

steps had been designed by 

SCIRT in 2016, but were not included 

in the final seawall plans. 

The community board decision 

delighted Redcliffs Residents Association 

chair Pat McIntosh. 

She said residents were disappointed 

the steps had been 

omitted and had approached both 

the city council and community 

board for them to be installed

Funding for seawall 

stairs approved 

Pat McIntosh 

when it became clear they were 

not in the plans. However, an 

alternative funding source from 

council was not found. 

“We knew there was local demand 

for access, it was obvious. 

There’s not many places you can 

access the water all the way from 

Celia St jetty along to the houses 

in Main Rd,” Dr McIntosh 

said. 

She said she had heard 

of people hurting themselves 

crossing the riprap 

to access the area in the 

meantime. 

The resident’s association 

again approached 

the community board 

earlier this year, asking if the 

steps could be included in the 

council’s draft Long Term Plan. 

Funding from the discretionary 

fund instead sped up the process. 

Dr McIntosh said the residents’ 

association was delighted to hear 

the steps would be installed soon. 

“We were extremely pleased to 

hear that the funding has been 

found through the community 

board, who have been very supportive,” 

she said. 

Installation of the precast steps 

was estimated to begin in six to 

seven weeks.

Waterway names wanted 


LABELLING more 

streams on Banks 

Peninsula will raise 

awareness and make them 

more useful as landmarks. 

That’s the suggestion 

from Banks Peninsula 

Water Management Zone 

Joint Committee chairwoman 

Paula Smith. 

“Many 

people are 

not familiar 

with the 

names or 

locations 

of our 

Paula Smith 

streams,” 

she said in 

a letter to the committee, 

which met late yesterday. 

If more streams had identifying 

signs, people would 

start to use the names more 

and they would become 

more useful as landmarks 

when describing a location, 

she said. 

“I also believe labelling 

them will raise awareness 

of the streams and cause 

people to maybe consider 

. . . their ecological health 

and how land use activities 

in their catchments may be 

affecting them,” Ms Smith 

said. 

NAMES: There may soon be more signs like this 

marking streams on Banks Peninsula. 

She asked the committee 

to recommend the city 

council prioritise funding 

to label 15 streams within 

the Banks Peninsula water 

management zone. 

Ms Smith said she had 

chosen those streams 

because of their proximity 

to the main inner-harbour 

roads which were wellused 

arterial routes. 

They include Pigeon Bay, 

Koukourarata, Opara, Le 

Bons and Okuti streams. 

Though not within the 

management zone, Te 

Rapu Stream, near Teddington’s 

Wheatsheaf 

Tavern is also included due 

to its prominent location. 

Attaching 30 standard 

yellow signs – two per 

stream – would cost about 

$12,000. 

Three further streams 

– Takamatua, Pipers and 

Pawsons – are on State 

Highway 75 so the New 

Zealand Transport Agency 

could be approached for 

funding.

Angle parking still an option in Lyttelton 



PROPOSED PARKING changes 

on west London St, Lyttelton 

have been put on ice as other 

options are explored. 

A city council report recommended 

five minute parking 

restrictions outside the ATM 

and 60min parking on the north 

side of the street, from Spooky 

Boogie cafe to Canterbury St. 

Along with no-stopping lines 

outside Albion Square for maintenance 

vehicle access. 

But the Banks Peninsula 

Community Board rejected the 

changes last week. 

It said ‘residents only’ and 

angled parking needed to be 

looked at before making a decision. 

That was in line with 

consultation feedback – and 

went against the report, which 

said angle parking was “not 

appropriate” because it would 

conflict with fire engine, 

ambulance and other heavy 

vehicle movements. 

But the board disagreed and 

has asked city council staff to 

investigate resident only and 

angle parking “so that the board 

can consider these as realistic 

options.” 

Board member Tyrone Fields 

said the issue will be discussed 

again in November. 

Wastewater pipeline 

being laid in harbour 

A NEW 5km wastewater pipeline 

is being laid under water between 

Lyttelton and Governors Bay this 

week. 

Sections of pipe are being 

towed into the harbour by a 

barge with an on-board winch. 

They are then guided into a 

pre-dug trench about 1m below 

the harbour seabed. 

The first segment of pipe was 

launched from Naval Point; once 

in place the second piece was 

welded on to the tail of the first. 

The process is then repeated 

until the full 5km length of the 

pipeline is in place. 

The 24-hour operation started 

on Monday and is expected take 

several days. 

The new pipeline is part of the 

Lyttelton Harbour/Whakaraupo 

wastewater upgrade to improve 

and future-proof wastewater 

services in Lyttelton, Governors 

Bay and Diamond Harbour. 

When construction is complete, 

two submarine pipelines 

will carry wastewater from 

Governors Bay and Diamond 

Harbour to Lyttelton, as part of 

a $53 million scheme aimed at 

ending the routine discharge of 

treated wastewater into Lyttelton 

Harbour by 2021. 

City council head of three waters 

and waste John Mackie said 

PIPES: Sections of pipe to carry wastewater are being laid 

underwater between Governors Bay and Lyttelton this week. 

it was exciting to see the project 

reach the marine stage. 

“It’s another step closer to 

cleaner water in Lyttelton Harbour 

which is an end goal we’re 

all committed to.” 

The Governors Bay pipeline 

should be complete by the end of 

this year with the Diamond Harbour 

pipeline due for completion 

in early 2019. 

Currently, wastewater from 

Lyttelton, Governors Bay and 

Diamond Harbour is treated 

at wastewater treatment plants 

in each of the townships before 

being discharged through outfall 

pipelines into Lyttelton 

Harbour. 

Under the new scheme, untreated 

wastewater from Governors 

Bay and Diamond Harbour 

will be pumped through the 

submarine pipelines to a new 

pump station on Simeon Quay in 

Lyttelton. 

It will then be piped through 

the Lyttelton Tunnel to the 

Woolston pump station and 

onto the Bromley wastewater 

treatment plant, where it will 

be treated. From there it will be 

discharged out to sea through the 

Christchurch Ocean Outfall. 

PARKING: This section of Lyttelton St west may get angled 

and residents-only parking after feedback showed strong 

support for both. 

Take a photo, pass it on 

INNOVATIVE: Maree Henry 

at her shop Henry Traders on 

London St. 


ABOUT 15 years ago Maree 

Henry was at an open home 

in Lyttelton when she took a 

photograph out the window – a 

view of Lyttelton Port. 

She still has it. 

And a while ago it got her 

thinking about living in the port 

town. 

“How we all have a different 

view from our windows, a different 

relation to the harbour.” 

So last year, as an experiment, 

Ms Henry put a disposable camera 

into circulation in Lyttelton. 

It was boxed with instructions 

to take a photo from a window 

in your house, record the street 

and the angle of your view in a 

small booklet, and then pass the 

camera on. 

That camera arrived back 

recently and Ms Henry said it 

was fascinating to see how it had 

travelled from place to place. 

“The handwriting was quite 

lovely; just recording the direction 

of the view and the street. 

The first view was recorded as 

‘looking west from London St, 

then looking east from Cressy 

Tce.’ Some took a picture from 

the back so you were still getting 

a view but it was the hills. Other 

people wrote, ‘the tugboat coming 

in’ and ‘light on Quail Island 

looking east.’ 

Now she’s seen how it could 

work, Ms Henry is planning a 

book project based on capturing 

views from the eyes and windows 

of Lyttelton residents. 

Though still in the planning 

stages she hopes later this year, 

(probably later in the spring) to 

release 20 disposable cameras 

into the community through 

her gift shop, Henry Trading on 

London St. 

Take a photo, then pass it on. 

With so many cameras, there’s 

room for some ‘collateral damage’ 

she said, estimating around 

400 photos should come back. 

From these she will make a 

book to sell at her shop. 

“I’m interested in the idea that 

it’s not up to me, it’s up to fate, 

I don’t have control. That anonymity 

and the organic nature 

of it – as soon as you pass them 

out you just cross your fingers 

and hope they come back.”

SUMNER athlete John 

Hellemans reckons triathlons 

can be addictive and harmful. 

But he still plans to be on the 

start line at the 2018 ITU World 

Triathlon grand-final on the 

Gold Coast next month. 

The world-class triathlete and 

coach has just published a new 

memoir, in which he explores 

some of the tough choices endurance 

sports athletes have to 

make. 

In the book Never, Ever Give 

Up? he talks about the social 

and physical toll of sports like 

triathlon. 

Hellemans emigrated from the 

Netherlands to New Zealand in 

1978. He has combined a career 

in general practice and sports 

medicine with competing and 

coaching in triathlon for nearly 

40 years. 

“Each year, there was something 

new in triathlons relating 

to training techniques, race 

options, equipment or rule 

changes. I loved the dynamic 

development of this novel sport, 

it kept me interested,” he said. 

As his sporting career progressed 

and he juggled it with 

his family and medical practice 

commitments, he began to realise 

the significant personal cost 

that triathlons can have. 

“It’s a very addictive thing. 

From a sports medicine perspective, 

it can be too much and it 

can be harmful – socially in

regards to your relationships 

with friends and family, as well 

as physically.” 

The memoir, published by 

Canterbury University Press, 

recounts his adventures as a 

young doctor in Blenheim and 

tells how he was captivated by 

the relatively new sport of triathlon 

while watching a television 

broadcast of the 1979 Les Mills 

New Zealand Ironman Championship 

in Auckland. 

He went on to win six national 

titles and represented 

New Zealand at several world 

championship events and the 

1990 Commonwealth Games. 

As an amateur, he has won 

eight age-group world championship 

titles. In October 2013, 

at the age of 60, Hellemans 

made the decision to compete 

in the Hawaiian Iron Man, long 

considered the ultimate test in 

triathlon where, in excruciating 

heat, he found himself staggering 

and miserable – but he did 

not give up. 

“Life used to be about surviving 

and meeting basic needs. For 

many of us, the modern western 

life is too cushioned, so we challenge 

ourselves to suffer in other 

ways. Endurance sport strips 

you bare and you are confronted 

with yourself. That is part of the 

attraction. But at a certain point 

it’s about realising this suffering 

may not be good for me.” 

An exercise-induced cardiac 

event in 2015 brought the message 

home again. 

But he’s not ready to give 

up just yet: The Gold Coast is 

calling. 

From Sunday 26 August, you’ll

Our People 

Giving kids the ride of their life in 

Sumner Valley Riding School owner Lisa Hadfield 

talks to Sarla Donovan about growing up in the 

valley, how the school got started and the night her 

donkey Tilly went on a pub crawl 

HAPPY FAMILY: Lisa Hadfield 

with Tilly the Wonky Donkey 

and the Ziggie, a border collie 

cross. 

Did you grow up around 

horses? 

No, but I lived in Sumner 

from the age of eight. We were 

at the back of the valley at 21 

Evans Pass. We had no land but 

we looked over the valley and 

it was all paddocks, all rural 

then. There were very few houses 

from Wakefield Ave back, and 

Sumnervale Drive didn’t exist. 

There were heaps of horses and I 

hung around the horsey girls. My 

first horse was called Lisa, I got 

her when I was 13. She lived till 

she was 41, a white anglo-arab 

mare. We got a beautiful foal out 

of her called Kalina. 

Where did you go to school? 

I went to Sumner School. 

My dad worked at Dunlop and 

mum made rag dolls. They also 

had some craft shops. They had 

the Charlotte Jane in Lyttelton 

and mum used to sit at home 

and make rag dolls. I had three 

brothers and one sister. We all 

grew up here, we loved it, loved 

the valley. I still live here and I’m 

54 now. 

Did you start competing 

when you got Lisa? 

No, none of us in the area 

could because we didn’t have 

parents that had horse floats or 

a car big enough to pull a horse 

float. If we went anywhere, you 

would have to ride, so those who 

joined Ferrymead Pony club had 

to ride there the morning of a 

rally and then ride home at the 

end. 

But when I had my daughter 

Holly, she’s 30 now, I got her 

a donkey and then I went out 

and competed with donkeys. 

The donkey people were just so 

relaxed and friendly and that’s 

where I enjoyed showing. We’d 

turn up at all the A & P shows – 

Canterbury, Hawarden . . . I did 

that for many years. 

How are donkeys different to 

horses? 

Their natural reaction is to 

stand still and they are smoother 

for young children to sit on. 

They have a smoother and slower 

movement. Whereas a pony is a 

flight animal, and often they’re 

fatter and rounder and a lot 

gigglier to sit on for young riders. 

Tell me how the riding school 

got started? 

We had the Terracotta Shop 

where the Coffee Culture is, 

my husband was a potter. And 

one day a lady walked in, an 

awesome lady. She asked if I 

could take her three children for 

riding lessons. So I went out and 

bought two more ponies so then 

I had four (with Lisa and Kalina) 

and I started lessons and it just 

grew from there. The chap who 

had the lease on the land, (the 

late) Barry Kerr from Suburban 

Estates passed the lease on to 

me and then he sold it to the 

council and I continued leasing it 

from them. I’ve had a wonderful 

relationship with the council all 

these years. 

How many horses do you own 

and who’s your favourite? 

Eight ponies and horses and 

one beautiful donkey. I don’t 

have a favourite but my own 

horse is called Gizmo. He’s a 

retired racehorse, a 16.3 hand 

dark bay thoroughbred gelding. 

He’s a bit spoilt, his work ethic 

is terrible, you wouldn’t employ 

him. I do light level-showing on 

him, not the high open classes 

because he’s not ready. He’s in 

the green horse class so you don’t 

have to canter. 

I’m training him to be a nice 

riding horse and taking him out 

to do dressage. My daughter has 

her own horse, she does 1.5m 

eventing and we’re also training 

four riders to compete at the 

Springston Trophy. Equestrian 

sport is big in New Zealand but 

you don’t hear a lot about it.

Sumner 

What did you do before you 

started the riding school? 

When I was really young, 

I worked at St John of God 

Church as a house mother for 

young boys with problems. I’ve 

worked in retail, and then in the 

Terracotta Shop. We sold mainly 

high-end art work – people like 

Paul Fisher, Dennis Hadfield 

and some others. It was a gallery 

really. Then I got more and more 

into the riding school and it 

needed more attention so I spent 

more time on that. 

It must be fun having a job 

working with animals? 

Yes it is. Although I have 

two part-time jobs and I’ve just 

worked the last two days and 

nights with 15min between my 

day and night jobs. So when I get 

down to the paddock I just stand 

there and go, how beautiful, just 

how beautiful and how lucky I 

am. It’s a little piece of paradise

Day. 

down there. I’ve now got fourth 

generation riders who I taught 

to ride bringing their children to 

learn on the same donkey they 

learnt on. I’ve even done a hens’ 

night with one of my former 

riders, we put her on Tilly and 

walked her round all the pubs in 

Sumner. 

Are your family involved 

with horses as well? 

I’ve got great-grandparents 

who bred clydesdale horses 

in Ireland. My whole family’s 

adopted, so it’s my birth family 

and my dad rode a bit as a teenager, 

probably to show off to the 

girls I think. 

What advice would you give 

to parents with children who 

want a horse? 

Definitely start with the lessons. 

Go somewhere your child 

will make nice friends and there 

is a good standard of horsemanship.

increased interest in netball 

at the school over the past few 

years, which has put a strain on 

its resources. 

“This netball uniform grant 

will help the players step onto 

the court with confidence,’” she 

said. ANZ head of sponsorship 

Sue McGregor said the bank was 

thrilled to help Heathcote Valley

uniforms. 

“We hope the teams step onto 

court with the confidence to play 

at their highest level,” she said.

Mette Kristiansen 

writes about the new 

design of Redcliffs 

School 

This letter has been a 

long time coming but 

nonetheless, it needs to be 

written. As an ex-Redcliffs 

School pupil, I like the 

design of the new Redcliffs 

School. It will have an 

amazing outlook, and 

being (supposedly?) above 

the flood plain will mitigate 

that problem. I’m not sure 

about the combination of 

mixing children with an 

entrance on a narrow part 

of the busy Main Rd, but I 

am sure the school board 

has considered that issue. 

What I am very 

concerned about here 

is the loss of the main 

heritage buildings – the 

old Redcliffs School’s 

main block. It would be 

a huge loss to the area to 

lose these buildings, and if 

they were re-used for some 

other purpose, they would 

be a huge asset to the 

community. 

Surely there would be 

enough room for sport if 

all the other buildings were 

pulled down and just the 

main block was kept for

Sumner Lifeboat 

Aspiring crew put through their paces 

Every month Bay 

Harbour News 

will publish a 

column from the 

Sumner Lifeboat 

Institution. 

Today coxswain 

Blair Quane talks about 

the commitment needed 

to become an operational 

crew member 

LAST SEPTEMBER, a cohort of 

new volunteers joined Sumner 

Lifeboat. 

They were all locals and 

represented a variety of ages, 

backgrounds and skills – all with 

the common goal of becoming 

operational crew and being able 

to take part in lifeboat call-outs 

and rescues. 

After six months of training, 

members of the group are now 

passing the first hurdle – moving 

from inductee to trainee, but 

it will take most of the year for 

them to become operational 

crew. 

For the crew, a call-out might 

involve assisting a vessel in 

distress kilometres offshore, 

rescuing a surfer in trouble off 

Sumner beach, or searching for 

an overdue sea kayaker in the 

bays of Banks Peninsula. 

So how do the volunteer crew 

COMMITTED: To become part of a lifeboat operational crew takes at least 12-18 months of 

training. 

members acquire the skills and 

knowledge to deal with such 

variety? It all comes down to 

training. 

Lifeboat training involves 

completing a set of theory and 

practical modules provided by 

Coastguard New Zealand, each 

of which must be assessed and 

signed off by an instructor. 

Basic training to become 

operational crew covers personal 

safety, survival in the water, 

health and safety, teamwork, radio 

communications, familiarisation 

with the local coastline, 

search and rescue techniques, 

victim recovery, lifeboat handling 

and seamanship. 

At the core of it all is safety 

– both personal and for fellow 

crew members. If the lifeboat 

crew gets injured or the boat 

gets damaged, the mission may 

be compromised – so safety 

is paramount. The training 

culminates in a challenging 

practical assessment on board a 

rescue vessel. 

However, training doesn’t 

stop with attaining operational 

status – all crew, from newlyqualified 

to senior skippers, 

must regularly do exercises and 

re-assessments to ensure they 

remain prepared for anything. 

For a volunteer organisation, 

the standard of the professionalism 

and commitment of the 

operational and senior crew at 

Sumner Lifeboat is high, and is 

something for trainees to aspire 

to. Sumner Lifeboat crew are all 

volunteers, as are the management 

committee and many others 

who ensure that this essential 

service is one of the country’s 

most capable lifesaving organisations. 

The costs of training and 

equipping about 26 crew members 

is growing yearly. Very 

little funding is provided by the 

Government, so Sumner Lifeboat 

needs help – financial or ‘in 

kind’ – to enable it to continue 

to bring family members home 

safely to their loved ones.

small enhance local activity and 

generate new jobs. They are a 

valuable asset and we are really 

fortunate in the Port Hills bays 

and beyond with businesses 

that connect so well with our 

community. They are our neighbours. 

When I travel through the 

Port Hills, it is easy to see that 

each township has its own 

unique character and charm that 

contributes to that community’s 

identity. 

Local small business entrepreneurs 

are involved in the community. 

They sponsor local clubs 

and school kids, they donate to 

good causes and support local 

events. They generally employ 

local people, creating the opportunity 

for them to live and work 

locally, attend the local schools, 

and be part of the community on 

a daily basis. 

Bus drivers, port workers, 

teachers, retail assistants and so 

many others all contribute to our 

community daily on many different 

levels of service, support 

and care. They get to know us 

well and how the community is 

feeling. 

When I am out and about, I 

ask them for their view on how 

SPRING: Nuk Korako is encouraging Port Hills residents to 

get out and visit local businesses such as cafes and garden 

centres. 

people are feeling, what their 

concerns are and their aspirations. 

Some of the feedback is 

that they want a really strong 

economy as that impacts on their 

jobs and their life, they want 

more support for mental health, 

a fair work place and the best 

environment for themselves and 

their families. 

I agree with them on all accounts. 

That is why you may 

have noticed my billboards 

announcing public meetings on 

various topics to hear your views. 

It is important for us to support 

work places on our doorstep 

so they can continue to thrive 

and prosper. 

The ingenuity and resourcefulness 

of our local business 

community is very much alive 

and well.

Learn about gardening at a 

horticultural society meeting 

The Canterbury 

Horticultural Society’s fruit 

and vegetable growing 

meetings start next week. 

Each event will offer an 

opportunity to learn and 

discuss techniques, buy 

seeds and share stories 

SPRING flowers blossoming 

throughout the city are a clear 

signal that it’s time to get your 

vegetable garden set up and 

ready to go. 

To help the Canterbury 

Horticultural Society has set up 

a specialist fruit and vegetable 

group focusing on edible 

gardening. 

Organisers say the group 

provides an invaluable way 

for new gardeners to learn 

how gardens are managed 

in each season, and learn 

about techniques such as crop 

rotation, composting, and 

fertilising. 

The first session will focus 

on tips and tricks for growing 

plants from seeds. Experienced 

Christchurch home gardener 

Phil Ducker will give a 

demonstration on how best to 

plant seeds. 

Mr Ducker’s presentation 

aims to provide answers on 

where to plant, how close 

to plant, how deep to plant, 

which companion plants go 

best together, which are better 

separate, and which plants 

could be directly sown in the 

garden. 

Society programme coordinator 

Michele Moore said 

there is a lot to learn about the 

subject. 

“There will be 

recommendations on where 

to get your seed and which 

varieties do well here in 

Canterbury. Each variety has 

particular requirements, so 

success depends on getting 

these things right,” she said. 

It was important to share 

that information down the 

generations so that it is not lost, 

Mrs Moore said. 

Each month, Peter Saunders 

will present a segment of his 

running commentary, A Visual 

Guide To Gardening Through 

The Year, which will focus 

on what he has been doing in 

his garden. By following Mr 

Saunders’ progress, it is hoped 

other attendees can gain some 

insights to apply in their own 

gardens. 

The meetings will be held 

monthly with plants, books and 

tools available for purchase, as 

well as raffles and refreshments. 

The Canterbury Horticultural 

Society will hold monthly 

meetings at the Deaf Society 

rooms, 80 Fitzgerald Ave

Earthquake claims 

still not settled? 

Our newspapers are full of stories 

recounting the problems many home 

owners are having in settling their 

earthquake claims. EQC’s repairs 

failing, and insurance companies not 

meeting their 

obligations, 

are common 

problems being 

experienced. 

Aurum Building 

Brokers manager, 

Chris Seque, 

advises that to 

be in a position 

to challenge EQC and/or your insurer, 

you need “best” evidence. 

Homeowners need to prove their loss: 

1. The property has suffered 

earthquake damage 

2. The property is covered by 

an insurance contract for the 

damage. 

3. The damage needs to be 

appropriately assessed. 

4. A reinstatement 

solution needs to 

be prepared that 

describes the standard 

of repair required in 

terms of the insuarnce 

policy and the EQC 

act. 

5. The cost of 

reinstatement needs to be 

quantified. 

Chris advises that Aurum Building 

Brokers has been helping Christchurch 

home owners for the past six years 

in preparing the evidence portfolios 

needed for advocates and lawyers 

to negotiate their claims with insurers. 

Aurum’s professional network can 

introduce homeowners to the people 

who can provide evidence written in 

a format to challenge the assessments 

provided by EQC’s or the insurer’s 

appointed experts. 

If you are uncertain about your claim 

talk to Chris on 021 400177.

Steele stepping back from his ‘own club’ 

• By Matt Salmons 

AFTER 26 years being president 

of the Sumner Cricket Club, most 

people think of it as Ray Steele’s club. 

He’s pretty proud of that, but in 

his mind it’s time to step back and 

let new blood step up to bat. 

Mr Steele said he would announce 

his intention and successor at the 

club’s next annual meeting, but 

would remain on as a player and 

committee member. He hoped to 

also get a grounds-keeping role in 

future. 

“It’s not going to be easy. I still 

want to be involved with the club so 

I’m not walking away completely.” 

Mr Steele said. 

It was a decision he had mulled 

over for more than a year. When he 

told his wife Heather – the club’s 

treasurer – she did not believe him. 

“It’s been very emotional for me, 

to make the step down. It’s been a 

big part of my life so I suppose that’s 

quite understandable.” 

His first year attending Sumner 

games was the year he was born; 

1958. His father had just joined the 

club as a player. 

Mr Steele himself had played in 

both junior and senior teams and 

joined the committee in 1974. 

As president, Mr Steele had overseen 

a change in the club’s approach 

to fundraising. Taking them from 

just surviving season-to-season to 

having a “healthy surplus” in the 

bank, he said. 

The club’s St Leonards Square 

rooms had also undergone a number 

of changes in that time; the installation 

of shower blocks, extensions, 

additions of balconies and getting a 

liquor licence. 

During his tenure as president, 

both Mr Steele’s son and young 

grandson had played with the club. 

His daughter Rebecca was unable 

to as there was no women’s teams at 

the time, but had represented both 

Canterbury and New Zealand. Once 

rated the world’s best female orthodox 

spin bowler, Mr Steele said she 

gained some of her skills by practicing 

with club members. 

While there were “ups and downs 

in every club,” Mr Steele said he had 

no regrets looking back and felt he 

had been open and collaborative in 

his decisions, not spending a cent 

unless he had to. 

“I always think, it’s not my money, 

it belongs to everyone in this club.” 

Mr Steele said he was looking 

forward to having more time to devote 

to the other aspects of the club, 

including watching his grandson’s 

career develop. 

“Once he gets to playing a bit of 

afternoon cricket, I might be at a 

stage where I’ll be in wheelchair, 

struggling to run, so I can spend a 

bit more time watching him.” 

LIFE MEMBER: 

After 440 

appearances 

with top 

Sumner Cricket 

Club teams 

and 26 years as 

club president, 

Ray Steele can’t 

completely 

walk away from 

the club he 

loves.

SUMNER RUNNING club members recorded 

a number of wins at the Canterbury Road 

Championships at Burwood Forest on 

Saturday. 

Four titles were claimed at the event with 27 

Sumner runners turning out. There were wins 

for Abi Scott-Douglas, Lucy Wheeler, Lewis 

Clarke and Blair McWhirter. 

In the junior events, Scott Douglas won the 

nine-grade girl’s race in a time of 8min 40sec. 

Wheeler won the 10-grade girl’s race in 7min 

54sec. Cook won the eight and under grade 

boys race in 8min 36sec. 

In the seniors, McWhirter continued a great 

year by winning the 35 and over men’s 10km 

race in 32min 6sec. There was also success for 

Sumner in the 40 and over men’s race with 

David Fitch finishing second ahead of Nathan 

Jones in third.

Pregnant women sought for anxiety study 


PREGNANT women are being 

sought for a study on anxiety and 

depression. 

The Canterbury University 

project is studying the effects of 

vitamins and minerals – such 

as zinc, magnesium, B12 and 

vitamin D – on psychological 

symptoms. 

Said professor and recent 

Women of Influence finalist Julia 

Rucklidge: “We’re seeing whether 

or not we can improve people’s 

mental health by using nutrients 

that are in your food but at 

higher levels than you typically 

get out of eating your fruit and 

vegetables.” 

The study is part of a wider 

investigation into how vitamin 

and mineral (micronutrient) 

supplements could improve low 

mood or anxiety. 

“So, if this affects you or one of 

your family members, you may 

be able to participate in one of 

our studies,” said Prof Rucklidge. 

For the pregnancy study, 

women would receive either the 

micronutrients or a matching 

placebo containing iodine, which 

is recommended for pregnant

women. Participants won’t know 

whether they are on the placebo 

or not. “Then we follow them for 

12 weeks to see what happens 

to the symptoms that they presented 

with,” Prof Rucklidge said. 

“After the 12 weeks, everyone 

gets to try the nutrients which 

gives us the opportunity to also 

study the effects of these nutrients 

on the infants.” 

Prof Rucklidge said the university’s 

mental health and nutrition 

research group has been doing 

this type of research for 10 years 

and has published a lot of that 

research. “So far it’s been very 

encouraging. All of our studies 

are pointing in the direction that 

nutrition is incredibly relevant to 

mental health.”

School teacher’s clothing range in Ballantynes 

Young daughters inspire designs for children 

• By Ashleigh Monk 

WHEN DELWYN Wright’s 

daughters were little, she 

struggled to find nice winter 

coats for them – so she designed 

some herself. 

Now the school teacher and 

mother-of-two’s designs are set to 

fill the shelves of the 

Ballantynes department store. 

Ms Wright’s 100 per cent New 

Zealand wool garments were 

picked out of about 80 applicants 

to win the Ballantynes Bring it 

to the Boardroom competition, 

which gave designers from across 

the country a chance to pitch 

their products. 

“I thought I had nothing to lose 

and Bring It to the Boardroom 

was a great opportunity to pitch 

my product to Ballantynes. I 

think [the judges] liked some of 

the detail in the designs and saw 

an opportunity to fill a gap in the 

children’s wear market.” 

She said her main source 

of inspiration came from her 

daughters. 

“Warm, quality New Zealandmade 

clothing is not that easy to 

find and there appears to be a gap 

in the market when girls reach 

six-years-old.” 

“I got into clothing design 

when my daughters were young 

and I couldn’t find them warm 

winter coats to wear. In the end, 

I made them a coat each and 

things really just grew from 

there. I started to sell a few coats, 

and then I gradually built up a 

loyal customer base that wanted 

other items like skirts and 

dresses.” 

Ms Wright’s designs range 

from coats and capes to dresses. 

They will line the shelves of 

Ballantynes’ children’s wear 

department for a year. She will 

keep all profits made from her 

sales. 

“Over the next year, I am 

hoping to gain lots of advice and 

guidance around the designing 

and marketing of my product. 

It would be great to grow my 

brand, gain some wider exposure 

and then I will just see where this 

leads.” 

“Ultimately, I remain 

committed to being NZ-made 

and locally-produced.” 

DESIGN FLARE: Delwyn 

Wright took out the 

Ballantynes Bring it to the 

Boardroom competition 

with her children’s clothing 

designs.

Pieces of Her by Karin Slaughter 

What if the person you thought you knew best turned out 

to be someone you never knew at all? 

Andrea Oliver’s mother, Laura, is the perfect small-town 

mum. Laura lives a quiet but happy life in sleepy 

beachside Belle Isle. She’s a pillar of the community: a 

speech therapist, business owner and everybody’s friend. 

And she’s never kept a secret from anyone. Or so Andrea thinks. 

When Andrea is caught in a random violent attack at a shopping mall, Laura 

intervenes and acts in a way that is unrecognisable to her daughter. It’s like Laura is 

a completely different person - and that’s because she was. Thirty years ago. Before 

Andrea. Before Belle Isle. 

Laura is hailed as a hero for her actions at the mall but 24 hours later she is in 

hospital, shot by an intruder, who’s spent decades trying to track her down. 

What is Andrea’s mother trying to hide? As elements of the past return and put them 

both in danger, Andrea is left to piece together Laura’s former identity and discover 

the truth - for better or worse - about her mother. Is the gentle, loving woman who 

raised her also a violent killer? 

The Other Woman by Daniel Silva

THIS BOOK 

In an isolated village in the mountains of Andalusia, a mysterious Frenchwoman 

begins work on a dangerous memoir. It is the story of a man she once loved in 

the Beirut of old, and a child taken from her in treason’s name. The woman is the 

keeper of the Kremlin’s most closely guarded secret. Long ago, the KGB inserted 

a mole into the heart of the West - a mole who stands on the doorstep of ultimate 

power. 

Only one man can unravel the conspiracy: Gabriel Allon, the legendary art restorer 

and assassin who serves as the chief of Israel’s vaunted secret intelligence service. 

Gabriel has battled the dark forces of the new Russia before, at great personal cost. 

Now he and the Russians will engage in a final epic showdown, with the fate of the 

postwar global order hanging in the balance. 

Gabriel is lured into the hunt for the traitor after his most important asset inside 

Russian intelligence is brutally assassinated while trying to defect in Vienna. His 

quest for the truth will lead him backward in time, to the twentieth century’s greatest 

act of treason, and, finally, to a spellbinding climax along the banks of the Potomac 

River outside Washington that will leave readers breathless. 

The inspiration for The Ghost Tree lies in Barbara Erskine’s own personal history 

– branching back to the days of Thomas Erskine, her great grandfather, five times 

removed.
