MCCORMACKS BAY residents 

appear unlikely to spend 

$50,000 to appeal against a 

kindergarten being built in their 

area. 

They spent months trying to 

stop Kidsfirst setting up a 248 sq 

m kindergarten next to the Mt 

Pleasant Community Centre, 

which they say will block their 

view, cause traffic issues and 

ground contamination. 

But resource consent hearing 

commissioner Justine Ashley 

has granted Kidsfirst permission 

to establish a kindergarten. 

Resident Diane Keats said 

an appeal to Environment 

Canterbury against the decision 

couldn’t proceed because of the 

cost, $50,000. 

“We’re not appealing it because 

we’d need $50,000,” she 

said. 

Mrs Keats said they feel 

defeated. 

“I’ve met a lot of residents 

around here and they think it’s 

absolutely ridiculous. But what 

do you do? There’s nothing we 

can do,” she said. 

The centre will sit 30m west 

of the former kindergarten and 

will run longer from 8am to 

5pm. 

The kindergarten will also cater 

to 50 children, which is more 

than their previous site which 

allowed a maximum of 30.

News..........................3, 7 & 10 

LAST WEEK we profiled a 

good guy from Sumner in Tony 

Murdoch. 

Today we feature another: Scott 

Razor Robertson on pages 4-5. 

Razor is coaching the Crusaders 

next season, and if his tenure with 

Canterbury and the style they 

have played under his guidance is 

anything to go by, the Crusaders 

will be very, very tough to beat in 

2017. 

But reporter Bridget Rutherford 

gets much more out of Razor than 

just rugby. He’s a good talker and 

communicator (no wonder he’s a 

good sports coach) and he reveals 

a number of interesting tidbits, including 

that famous or infamous 

breakdancing thing of his, and 

how he got his nickname. 

He even took the Ranfurly 

Shield down to Our Lady Star of 

the Sea School where his children 

attend (see page 14).

Quake affects tourist numbers 

BAY HARBOUR 

In Brief 

PAGE 3 


AKAROA’S tourism industry 

has been up and down as 

a result of this month’s 7.8 

magnitude earthquake. 

A number of businesses have 

experienced a drop in numbers 

as visitors cancel trips to Akaroa 

fearing more earthquakes in 

Canterbury. 

But some have seen an increase 

in bookings as business 

has stalled in Canterbury’s other 

tourist-friendly coastal town 

Kaikoura. 

Akaroa has become the main 

hub for marine animal encounters 

in the region following the 

North Canterbury earthquakes. 

Kaikoura’s tourism industry is 

in disarray while the region is in 

a state of emergency. 

Hanmer 

Springs has 

seen a large decrease 

in visitor 

numbers due to 

its proximity to 

the epicentre. 

Dolphin Encounter Kaikoura 

and Whale Watch Kaikoura are 

closed until further notice due 

to extensive damage caused to 

the township. 

Christchurch i-SITE has been 

referring tourists, planning 

to go to Kaikoura, to Akaroa 

instead. 

Black Cat Cruises, which 

offers dolphin watching and 

swimming experiences, has had 

to increase capacity due to the 

demand. 

“People that were planning on 

going to Kaikoura are now coming 

to Akaroa. We’re launching 

one of our boats a little 

earlier than planned,” sales and 

marketing manager Natasha 

Lombart (left) said. 

The company usually runs 

three boats in a season and 

introduces a fourth just before 

Christmas – but the extra fleet 

has been launched two weeks 

early. 

“There is a demand for our 

swim service from Kaikoura 

passengers. The boats take up

www.thefootwearfactory.co.nz 

to 99 passengers, but with the 

dolphin swim we can only take 

up to 12,” Miss Lombart said. 

Black Cat Cruises didn’t 

know how much business had 

increased by, as it usually sees 

a rise over the summer period 

regardless. 

“It’s good we can provide this 

service close by in Canterbury 

but at the same time no one 

wants to benefit from something 

like this.” 

Meanwhile, Akaroa Criterion 

Motel owner Felicity Taylor 

owner said she hasn’t seen as 

many benefits following the 

tragedy in Kaikoura. 

“We’ve had some bookings 

from people who were meant 

to go to Kaikoura and their

services. 

agents have recommend they 

come here. At the same time 

we’ve had lots of cancellations 

as well from people nervous to 

come here because of the earthquakes,” 

Mrs Taylor said. 

Bully Hayes duty manager 

Tong Hou said the eatery has 

had customers who’ve come 

to Akaroa as an alternative to 

Kaikoura. 

But they’ve also seen a drop 

in numbers as trips have been 

cancelled due to State Highway 

1 being closed along the top half 

of South Island’s coastline. 

“It hasn’t been that much busier 

– the day after the earthquake 

we had cancellations from tourist 

groups who were due to come 

here from the north.” 

CENTRE SET TO OPEN 

THe Heathcote Valley 

Community Centre is set to 

open in two weeks. The centre 

will also include a volunteer 

library and has been built on 

the Bridle Path Rd site of the 

former community centre. The 

previous centre and library 

were demolished following the 

February 22, 2011, earthquake. 

Work began on site at the end 

of June this year to create a 

new facility which will have 

several meeting areas, a kitchen, 

bathroom facilities along with 

a large deck. The centre will be 

opened at 5.30pm on December 

14. 

PLAQUE UNVEILING 

A plaque will be unveiled tomorrow 

to honour Collett’s Corner 

in Lyttelton. Collett’s Chemist, 

opened by D.E.L Collett, sat on 

the corner of London St and 

Oxford St and was often referred 

to as Collett’s Corner. The 

pharmacy treated ship crewmen 

with concocted remedies. 

The plaque unveiling will mark 

105 years since the chemist 

opened on December 1, 1911. 

Mr Collett’s granddaughter Ann 

Toomey and Banks Peninsula 

Community Board chairwoman 

Christine Wilson will mark the 

now-vacant corner with a plaque 

funded by the city council.

Our People 

Seaside environment keeps 

Sumner’s Scott Robertson is gearing up for 

his first season coaching his old team, the 

Crusaders. Bridget Rutherford spoke to him 

about his goals for the season, where he 

learned to breakdance and whether he is a 

true Cantabrian yet 

HOME: Scott Robertson 

says Sumner is a great 

place to live, and enjoys 

the surf and community. 

So what have you been doing 

in the lead up to pre-season 

training? 

I recovered after the week of 

the Mitre 10 Cup final physically, 

mentally and I detoxed 

as well (laughs), it was a good 

celebration. But it was a great 

way to finish a number of years 

of Canterbury rugby. Then in 

the second week I went over to 

the Roosters in the NRL to do a 

bit of professional development 

and leadership, and work around 

defence so I could up-skill myself 

coming into the season. New 

Zealand Rugby Union has a great 

relationship with clubs around 

Australasia, and Sydney had 

some good surf. It was a great 

way to transition from Mitre 10 

Cup to Super Rugby and start 

our planning phase. 

What do you think will be the 

toughest part of your new role 

at the Crusaders next season? 

Probably knowing myself, I’ll 

bring a lot of energy and creative 

new ideas. So I’ve got to make 

sure I get the balance right and 

bring what I need, and keep it to 

the critical few things that will 

make the difference. 

The Crusaders have a proud 

and successful history, does 

that add any pressure? 

Expectations are great, I love 

it. I had it with Canterbury that 

we’d go and be successful, and 

with that comes high standards 

and brings a bit of pressure you 

can use to create an edge. If 

there were no expectations I just 

wouldn’t feel the same. 

What are your goals for the 

season? 

My philosophy is to make 

people better on and off the 

field. I just want the team to 

perform and make sure when 

we’re under pressure in these 

critical moments we win those. 

It’s something we haven’t nailed, 

and we’ve had opportunities but 

haven’t taken them. That excites 

me. 

And you played for the Crusaders 

and Canterbury back in 

the day, did you ever see yourself 

coaching them? 

Yes. Back in 1996 and 97 I 

would walk in with a playbook 

and try and create new plays and 

see new ways of doing things. 

It’s the way it is now, it’s just a 

natural progression. It’s been a 

pathway; it’s taken a considerable 

amount of time to get here from 

retiring nine years ago. I’ve done 

a lot of hours. 

Is this a stepping stone to 

coach the All Blacks? 

The All Blacks is a totally different 

level and experience is 

critical. A lot of the coaches 

have been overseas and had a 

lot of different experiences with 

different cultures and competitions. 

With the All Blacks you 

play international teams and you 

need to understand that environment. 

Coaching overseas gives 

you a chance to experience that. 

I’m in no rush, I’d love to do that 

but I could see myself coaching 

afar first. 

Being a former Crusader, 

does it make you a bit more 

patriotic while coaching? 

Of course – I shed a lot of 

blood, cartilage and meniscus 

with the Crusaders. It was successful, 

I loved it and it made me 

a better person. Some of my best 

mates and memories were with 

that team, it sounds pretty cliche, 

but it’s a dream. 

And you come from up north 

don’t you? 

I’m from the Mount 

(Maunganui). It’s a bottle top 

question – who was the first 

person to be drafted for a Super 

Team. I made New Zealand 

Colts, and Vance Stewart picked 

me out and I was drafted and 

came to Canterbury. 

So are you a Cantabrian now? 

People ask me that all the time. I 

had a great up-bringing and my 

home is the Mount in regards to 

childhood friends and things. 

But I made my adult connections 

down here. My wife’s from down 

here and I had my children here. 

But I’m really fortunate to have 

red and black in my veins. 

And you spent a fair bit of 

time coaching NZ under-20s. Is 

part of that role to groom upand-coming 

players? 

The object is to develop players, 

on and off the field, because 

they’re young men and they’ve 

got to make some big decisions. 

The other was win. If you’re 

in the black jersey going to a 

tournament, you’re playing for 

silverware. I managed to do it 

one of the two times. For me, 

my biggest learning was our loss 

to Ireland – which some other 

teams have had too recently 

– but it’s a different style and 

the preparation is different for 

different teams, weather, and 

the mindset. I’m a better coach 

because I understand that. 

Over the years, who is a 

young player that you’ve 

watched and thought they had a 

big future? 

The most gifted player I’ve ever 

seen is Jordie Barrett. He’s going 

to the Hurricanes which is the 

second toughest thing for me 

outside the Ireland loss. He’s an 

extreme talent, and a great kid 

with great work ethic. 

Better than his brother 

Beauden? 

I don’t like to compare them. 

They’ve got similar skill-sets. 

For us it’s a wait and see. I think 

what sets Jordie apart is his 

mind-set – he’s the ultimate professional 

and has an incredible 

knack of performing under pressure. 

That sets the greats apart.

Scott Robertson 

‘Razor’ happy 

Did you try and get him to 

stay down here? 

I spent a lot of time, but his 

family was first for him. And 

he’ll get to play outside his 

brother, his best mate. It was a really 

hard and emotional decision 

for him and it meant a lot to him 

to play for us. 

When you were a rookie, who 

was a senior player that you 

looked up to? 

I made a lot of really good 

mates and everyone brought a lot 

of different things. That group 

of players that we had is unlike 

any group that’s been together 

for a long time. If you look at the 

coaches, we had Robbie Deans, 

Steve Hansen, Wayne Smith 

and they also had success post- 

Crusaders. I heard a great quote 

– truly inspiring coaches, or the 

great coaches, coach a player to 

become great coaches, and their 

players become coaches. It’s a 

generational thing. And from 

that group we had myself, Leon 

MacDonald, Tabai Matson, Todd 

Blackadder, Dave Hewett, Mark 

Hammett, Daryl Gibson and 

Aaron Mauger. I think the whole 

environment helped shape us. It 

didn’t just teach us how to play, 

but it taught us the game, and 

that’s what we’re doing now. 

It was that era where the 

Crusaders were on the Meadow 

Fresh milk cartons – did you 

make it onto one of those? 

No, I’ve broken my nose too 

many times (laughs). 

You went and played in 

France and Japan following 

your time with the AB’s, what 

did you learn from your stints 

there? 

The first year in France I struggled. 

I missed the structure of the 

Crusaders and I kept asking why 

do the French do it this way? But 

once I figured that out I ended 

up really loving and enjoying it. 

I learned French and the French 

way. I learned a lot of what I do 

now as a coach. It was the same 

in Japan, I learned a lot of their 

traditions. It made me appreciate 

what we’ve got here in New 

Zealand, and New Zealand rugby 

now. There’s a lot of benefits of

going away and coming back. 

Maybe I’ll coach over there one 

day. 

How’s your Japanese? 

My wife’s pretty handy at it, but 

I can do the basics. 

And the most important question, 

where did you learn to 

breakdance? 

My mum’s got a bit of rhythm. 

I never expected to be dancing, it 

came from my playing days when 

the hoo hay razor ray song was 

pulled out. I was put on the spot 

and got called out and had to 

front up. If we win I’m more than 

happy to dance. 

Where does the nickname 

Razor come from? 

It’s a bit of self-promotion, 

probably a bit like the dancing. 

We used to give ourselves a 

couple of nicknames. We’d say 

I used to cut people in half and 

my shoulders were razor blades.

PHOTO: GEOFF 

SLOAN 

I created a bit of an alias as Razor 

Ray and it’s taken its own little 

storylines. So I named myself 

(laughs). 

And you settled in Sumner 

when you came down, why did 

you choose to live there by the 

beach? 

I’m a surfer, I love the sea and 

I enjoy the drive to Sumner. It’s 

a safe environment and it makes 

me happy. I’m involved with the 

great community and it reminds 

me of the Mount. The kids enjoy 

it too. 

Speaking of family, how did 

you meet your wife? 

I met my wife, Jayne, at Lincoln. 

I’ve said this before, but my 

wife got a double degree – hers 

and mine. I met her when I first 

arrived in town and she’s been 

through all the highs and lows 

with me. I had 15 operations as 

a player and she nursed me back

to the field. We’ve been through 

a lot. 

What does she do? 

She works at the local school 

and does extra-curricular sport 

for the kids and runs sporting 

competitions and that sort 

of thing. She’s the sports coordinator. 

Is she a bit of a rugby widow? 

I was away over 100 days this 

year with the NZ under-20s. But 

we understand it and she makes 

it work. We’ve got family support 

at Sumner. I’m lucky to have my 

role but we make sure we get 

away as a family. 

Sumner was hit quite hard in 

the earthquakes, did you have 

any issues with insurance or 

damage to your home? 

Yeah, we had a red zone section 

up on the hill. We had five years 

in court with the Government, 

but we got a great result. We can 

look back and the right thing was 

done and we’ve moved on with 

that. We’ve learned patience and 

a lot about the law. 

What was the most rewarding 

moment of your rugby career 

so far? 

My first test for the All Blacks. 

We played Australia in Christchurch 

and my family came down. 

I fulfilled a huge goal for myself. 

Did you win that test? 

Don’t ask! (In 1998 Australia beat 

the All Blacks 27-23). 

We had better move on then, 

what was your most embarrassing 

moment? 

When I played for Canterbury 

I was a reserve and came on, and 

I unzipped my tracksuit and ran 

on the field and I wasn’t wearing 

my playing jersey, I still had my 

warm-up T-shirt on. I was in the 

huddle before I realised – everyone 

was pointing at me as I ran on 

and I kept running. I had to run 

back and swap it at the next break. 

Some coaches lose their fitness 

after they finish playing, that 

doesn’t seem the case for you? 

I do a bit of stand-up paddle 

boarding. It’s great for me and 

for my strength in my core and 

legs. I get to the gym and I swim 

a lot. I have to do it most days 

otherwise I get a bit edgy. 

What do you like to do in 

your spare time? 

I spent a lot of time with the 

kids, and going to their sport and 

enjoying what they’re doing as a 

family so I connect with them. In

Cemeteries to get more plots 


MORE PLOTS will be added 

in Akaroa cemeteries after 

pressure from residents. 

The now-defunct Akaroa- 

Wairewa Community Board has 

been asking the city council to 

investigate if more plots could 

be created in the township’s 

cemeteries for several years. 

The city council will release 

39 full burial plots at the Anglican, 

Catholic and Dissenters 

cemeteries to 

extend their 

use for about 

eight years. 

“I’m very 

happy we’ve 

got this progress. 

It happened 

around 

the earthquake and we felt here 

it was being overlooked, so I’m 

really pleased with the work 

they’ve done,” Banks Peninsula 

Community Board member 

Janis Haley (above) said. 

There are four cemeteries 

in Akaroa, but the French 

cemetery is closed and the Anglican, 

Catholic and Dissenters 

cemeteries are full except for 

pre-purchased plots or second 

interments. 

The new plots would not be 

available for pre-purchase. 

FULL: All of Akaroa’s cemeteries are in need of more plots as they’re either at full capacity or all 

remaining plots have been pre-purchased. 

City council staff have been 

telling residents to bury their 

loved ones at Duvauchelle or 

Le Bons cemeteries due to the 

shortage. 

Once the new plots are filled, 

it’s likely people will be referred 

to out-of-town cemeteries again. 

“Eventually it is anticipated 

that all Akaroa burials and 

ash interments will need to be 

redirected to the Duvauchelle 

Cemetery,” city council neighbourhood 

and sports parks 

operations manager Al Hardy 

said. 

The city council is looking 

at creating more burial plots 

throughout Christchurch and 

Banks Peninsula. 

A majority of Banks Peninsula 

cemeteries have enough space 

capacity for several more decades 

as only one or two burials 

take place at those grounds each 

year. 

Those sites include Duvauchelle 

Cemetery, Kaituna 

Valley Cemetery, Le Bons Bay 

Cemetery, Little River Cemetery, 

Pigeon Bay Cemetery and 

Wainui Cemetery. 

The city council is responsible 

for 26 cemeteries across Canterbury. 

The Lyttelton Anglican 

Cemetery and the Lyttelton 

Catholic and Public Cemetery, 

which have no, or very few, 

full burial plots available for 

purchase, will be investigated 

for space. 

The city council will also 

look at increasing capacity at 

the Diamond Harbour Memorial 

Gardens Cemetery which 

largely remains unused due to 

drainage and layout issues. 

Consultation 

open for 

cycleway projects 


PUBLIC CONSULTATION is 

open for the Heathcote Expressway 

and the Rapanui to Shag Rock 

cycleway projects. 

The Heathcote Expressway 

goes from Heathcote through to 

Woolston, Opawa, Waltham and 

Sydenham into the central city. 

It connects Heathcote, Ferrymead 

and Woolston as well as 

key destinations such as Ferrymead 

Historic Park, The Tannery and Ara 

Institute of Canterbury. 

City council staff are holding 

drop-in sessions for residents to 

find out more about the project tomorrow 

at Woolston Market Space 

from 6–8pm, and next Wednesday 

at St Mary’s Church Hall from 

4–6pm. The city council is also 

looking for feedback on the second 

and third stages of the Rapanui to 

Shag Rock Cycleway. 

The cycleway will travel from 

the central city to the Ferrymead 

Bridge where it connects to the 

Coastal Pathway. 

The Coastal Pathway, which will 

run from Ferrymead Bridge to 

Sumner, is funded separately to the 

Major Cycle Routes programme. 

There are two alternatives for 

this part of the Rapanui to Shag 

Rock Cycleway but both follow 

roughly the same route.

Ferrymead Rotary 

SAUSAGES WERE sizzling, 

onions were browning 

and the queue just kept on 

stretching. 

Ferrymead Rotarians in 

hi-viz vests and Rotary caps 

were barbecuing and serving 

300-odd free sausages, 

provided by the Redcliffs 

Residents’ Association, at 

the opening of the Redcliffs 

portion of the Coastal 

Pathway. 

Several hundred people 

gathered for the opening 

and most couldn’t resist the 

alluring smell of the cooking 

sausages. 

This was Ferrymead 

Rotary’s contribution to the 

latest section opening. The 

club expects to be further 

involved as the project progresses, 

having offered plants 

and other adornments for the 

path. 

Many Bay Harbour 

residents are also looking 

forward to another annual 

Ferrymead Rotary event – 

the sale of Christmas trees. 

They will be on sale on 

Saturday, December 10, at

• BY GARY MANCH, 

NAVIGATIONAL SAFETY OFFICER, 

LYTTELTON 

I ALWAYS find it hard to believe 

that Christmas comes around 

so quickly each year and with 

it comes our long summer days 

and good weather. 

In spite of the odd quirk of 

nature, we really do live in a 

beautiful country. 

This was brought home to 

me a few weeks ago when I was 

using my quad bike to go from 

the Amberley beach up the 

river to the highway, travelling 

through the big cliffs that are

Centre. Tom Keeley has been 

providing Christmas trees 

to the club for 21 years – 

almost as long as the club 

has been in existence. He 

cuts them on the morning 

of the sale to ensure they are 

nice and fresh and will last 

until at least Christmas Day. 

The trees range in size and 

shape so there’s one to suit 

everyone. Ferrymead Rotary 

thousands of years old, and there 

was not a soul around, the birds 

were singing, we had a picnic by 

the river – I am sure you get the 

picture. 

Going to places like that gives 

me plenty of time to think, and 

that can be scary sometimes. As 

you have seen before, some of my 

articles can be a little random, 

but hopefully there is always a 

message there for you. 

So when you are on the water, 

whether it’s in a canoe or a large 

power boat, if a sign or buoy 

states it’s a five knot area, it 

means just that; they are not

put there to annoy you, they are 

there solely for safety reasons. 

This applies to the rules 

about not going faster than five 

knots (around 8km/h or a fast 

walking pace) when within 50m 

of swimmers or other vessels, 

or 200m from the shore or a 

structure. 

If a buoy or sign states that no 

powered vessels are allowed, it 

means just that, your jet ski or 

powerboat cannot go there; these 

areas are reserved for swimmers, 

or non-powered craft so they 

operate safely. 

We have a huge amount of 

Democracy rules 

Linwood-Central- 

Heathcote Community 

Board member Tim 

Lindley talks about his 

recent induction onto 

the board 

It’s now five weeks since I was 

inducted into the Linwood-Central- 

Heathcote Community Board as a 

newbie community board member for 

Heathcote. It’s been a very interesting 

time and three strong impressions 

stand out from the buzz and busyness 

of simply getting started. 

First, the quality of our democratic 

systems here in New Zealand. The 

manuals for newly elected officials 

that describe how we must conduct 

ourselves are long and detailed. It 

is very clear that a requirement for 

‘integrity’ is just as fully enshrined in 

our institutions as is the requirement 

for ‘democracy.’ 

New Zealand always lists among the 

top countries for freedom from corruption. 

If you ponder on it, without 

integrity, democracy becomes pretty 

meaningless. I can’t help but feel very 

thankful for those who have gone before 

and who have made our country 

become what it is. 

Second, the role expected of a 

community board member here in 

Pirate’s Corner 

people competing to use our 

recreational waterways, and it’s 

clear that, without some form of 

rules, it would be mayhem out 

there. 

The simple solution is know 

Christchurch. It’s a part-time position 

that comes with a strong expectation 

that the board member will form a 

connection between community and 

council. We are to get out and know 

and understand groups within our 

communities and, at the same time, 

get up to speed on how council works 

and makes plans for the future. Put 

simply, our role is to help people 

understand council and council 

understand people, so that the actions 

council takes and the plans it makes 

really are in the best interests of our 

city. 

Third, there is a lot to be done. I 

have particular interests in our estuary 

and waterways; in promoting safe 

and effective cycleways; and in helping 

make our city a good place to live 

in. It is a privilege to have been elected 

and I am looking forward to the work 

ahead. 

Tips to keep safe on the water this summer 

the rules, don’t be a prat, and 

be courteous to everyone out 

there so that we all get through 

the summer without incident 

or injury. That’s it from me this 

week, be safe out there.

Electric vehicle 

charging station 

opens at 

Little River 

AN ELECTRIC vehicle charging 

station has been installed at 

Little River. 

Electricity network company 

Orion opened a free charging 

station adjacent to the Little 

River Cafe & Store and last 

Wednesday. 

Both fast charger and a standard 

charger were installed at the 

site. 

A fast charger typically charges 

an electric vehicle in around 

20 to 30min, while a standard 

charger will take a few hours to 

fully charge a car. 

Electric vehicles on the market 

today have a range of 100km to 

400km. 

“We want to encourage that 

future and facilitate our customer’s 

ability to benefit from 

EVs. To do that we need to give 

people the confidence to buy EVs 

by providing them with places to 

charge their vehicles away from 

their homes,” Orion chief executive, 

Rob Jamieson said. 

The station will be free to use 

until the end of January and users 

will have to pay about $10 to 

use it from February onwards. 

Orion is planning to roll-out 

more chargers across Canterbury 

in the next few months. 

Cards well received 


ZOE ELMEY is only 11 but 

already she is selling her 

hand-crafted cards in England. 

The Sumner School pupil and 

budding artist is selling her own 

range of cards under ‘Lots of 

Love Art’ and has been selling 

them to local businesses for the 

past year. 

But her biggest success so far 

came during a recent holiday 

to the United Kingdom when 

Eastbourne store Barley Sugar 

started selling the line. 

Zoe and her mother Becky 

Nisbet approached shopkeepers 

and asked if they were interested 

in her cards – they bought 32 

cards to sell in their two shops. 

“We’re all very excited,” Ms 

Nisbet said. 

“It confirms her talent the 

more it spreads. She’s really going 

to go somewhere.” 

It’s not the only out-of-town 

store interested in Zoe’s work, 

the cards are sold at popular 

holiday destination Waiheke 

Island. 

“Again the shops loved her 

cards and Escapade in the tourist 

area of Oneroa bought 18 

cards, and a local art and craft 

shop bought 35 to sell,” Ms 

Nisbet said. 

The Hub in Hanmer Springs 

has also bought her cards – so 

far she’s sold about 850 pieces. 

She sells her cards for $5 but 

they retail as high as $7.50 at 

shops that stock them. 

The young entrepreneur eventually 

wants a career in the arts 

and crafts business. 

ESCAPADING: Zoe Elmey 

sells her cards to businesses 

while on holiday. 

“I want to own my own shop 

where I make everything by 

hand. Drawing and creating 

things has always been a part of 

me,” Zoe said. 

She’s designed a new range of 

Christmas cards which are available 

at Salt in Sumner. 

“Zoe is always designing new 

cards, so we hope to have a 

new range in the new year,” Ms 

Nisbet said.

Kindergarten 

appeal unlikely 

•From page 1 

An estimated 200 vehicles are 

expected to move in and out of 

McCormacks Bay Rd during the 

day, and residents say it’s dangerous 

place for a kindergarten. 

“While the community centre 

was being rebuilt there was 

three accidents – one of them 

had their door cleaned right off 

its hinges,” Mrs Keats’ husband 

Graham said. 

“It’s really bad from a safety 

aspect as kids are going to be 

loaded and unloaded during the 

peak times for traffic.” 

Kidsfirst declined to comment 

until the appeal time had lapsed. 

Homeowner Suzanne Sullivan 

is considering appealing 

the decision but residents only 

have until Friday, December 9 to 

lodge an appeal. 

“There’s a possibility we may 

do because we’re certainly very 

gutted about the decision. This 

isn’t the place for a kindergarten,” 

she said.

Lyrebird 

by Cecelia Ahern 

She will change your life forever In the south-west of Ireland, 

rugged mountains meet bright blue lakes and thick forests. 

Deep in the woods, a young woman lives alone, forever 

secluded from the world, her life a well-kept secret. She 

possesses an extraordinary talent, the likes of which no-one 

has seen before: a gift that will earn her the nickname Lyrebird. 

When Solomon stumbles into Laura’s solitary existence, her life 

is turned on its head. 

Pulled from her peaceful landscape to the cacophony of Dublin, she is 

confronted by a world desperate to understand her. But while Solomon knows the 

world will embrace Laura, will it free her to spread her wings – or will it trap her in a 

gilded cage? Like all wild birds, she needs to fly free… 

Lyrebird is a thoughtful, deeply moving love story; a story of the wild heart in us all 

and the quiet that lies underneath the world’s noise.

THIS BOOK 

Food, family and fresh beginnings. For fans of 800 Words, Offspring, Josephine 

Moon and Monica McInerney. 

On the outskirts of a small New Zealand seaside town, Lia and her friend Anna work 

serious hours running their restored cafe. The busy season is just around the corner, 

and there are other things to occupy them. Anna is about to marry Lia’s twin brother, 

and Lia’s ex-boyfriend seems not to understand it’s over. 

When a gorgeous stranger taps on Lia’s window near midnight and turns out not to 

be a serial killer, she feels it’s a promising sign. But the past won’t let them be, and 

Lia must decide whether events rule her life or she does. 

The Pretty Delicious Cafe will remind you of those special, good things we love 

about living. And the food is great. 

A warm, witty novel, brimming with the trademark romance, friendship and 

eccentricity that Danielle Hawkins’s fans adore.

I have travelled to over 35 different 

countries and my “to-do” list is 

forever growing! Europe with 

its history and culture is a 

definite favourite of mine. 

For me, travel is inspiring 

and transformative - it allows 

you to learn more about the 

world around you, and in 

the process, more about 

yourself. 

Harriet Babe 




I love travel- to enjoy different cuisine, 

culture, history, scenery, people 

and their language. You feel a 

sense of richness of a culture, 

especially accessing places 

that are so remote and 

untouched. Sports games 

are a highlight of most of my 

holidays as well as exploring 

national parks!

Fair money goes 

to good causes 

OUR LADY Star of the Sea 

held its annual Mission Day 

Fair recently. 

Held on the school 

grounds, hundreds of residents 

came down. 

The pupils co-ordinated 

the fair and sold secondhand 

board games, books 

and toys. 

They also had a cake stall, 

Diamond Harbour’s year 

5 Korimako class had a 

go at sailing. Here’s what 

they had to say about 

their experience 

Last Monday, we went sailing 

at Charteris Bay Yacht 

Club. It was a beautiful day. As 

we drove down, we could see 

the water sparkling. 

At the club, we met our 

instructor Henry, and we 

quickly got dressed into our 

wet suits and life jackets. 

Before we were allowed out 

onto the water, Henry taught 

barbecue, bouncy castle, fun 

games and competitions. 

The money raised was donated 

to St Joseph’s School 

in Samoa, although the 

children decided to donate 

half the money to St Joseph’s 

School in Kaikoura so that 

the pupils there could have 

some fun. 

The fair raised $969. 

us about the parts of the optimist 

boat. We learned to use 

the rudder to turn and how to 

use the mainsheet to control 

the speed. We also learned 

how to avoid the boom, which 

makes exactly that sound if it 

hits your head! 

Once the optimists were 

launched, we did follow the 

leader. Elijah was set a challenge 

because he was so fast. 

He had to sail to the end of the 

line and then come back. 

After lunch, we went back 

on the water to play a game 

called sponge tag, which was 

lots of fun. We also learned

Rivalry in school surf champs 

SUMNER SCHOOL’S Ava 

Henderson will continue 

her battle with North Wai 

Boardriders teammate Lily 

Robertson at Saturday’s South 

Island Primary School Champs 

at North Beach. 

Henderson is the top seed 

in the year 7 and 8 girls’ 

competition, but will face stiff 

competition from Chisnallwood 

Intermediate’s Lily Robertson. 

Henderson won the recent 

Canterbury Primary School 

Championships, but Robertson 

got one over the Sumner pupil at 

the Duke Festival of Surfing in 

March. 

There’s also strong hopes for 

another local competing in the 

competition’s largest division. 

Jack Tyro, of Sumner, will be 

hoping to throw a cat amongst 

the pigeons when he takes on 

some of the best young surfers 

from around the country in 

the year 6 and under 

competition. 

The division includes current 

New Zealand year 6 champion 

Campbell Heasley from 

Broomfield School. 

The event, in its 13th year, 

will be run by the North Wai 

Boardriders Club. 

This year the club expects 

big numbers at the event, with 

TOP SEED: Sumner School pupil Ava Henderson will be the 

top seed in the girls’ section of the South Island Primary School 

Champs.

the inclusion of a large team 

of surfers from the Buller 

Boardriders Club. 

As well as Westport, there 

will be competitors from North 

Canterbury, Kaikoura and 

Dunedin. 

Due to the recent upheaval in 

Kaikoura, North Wai has offered 

free entry and accommodation 

to competitors travelling from 

that area. 

SPORTS 

NZ CHAMP: Campbell Heasley will be the man to beat in 

the year 6 and under division. He will face plenty of top 

competition, though, including Sumner’s Jack Tyro. 

Bay area well represented in Metro win 

• By Fraser Walker-Pearce 

SUMNER AND Heathcote 

players contributed to the 

Christchurch Metro Cricket 

senior representative team’s win 

over South Canterbury on the 

weekend. 

The 50-over game, played at 

Timaru’s Aorangi Park, came 

down to a last wicket partnership 

for Christchurch Metro, which 

chased down South Canterbury’s 

195 to win the match. 

Sumner’s Dan Vann (right) 

said the game was played on a 

good pitch, and the team did 

“quite well” to hold South Canterbury 

from scoring more. 

“We held them back to 195, 

which is quite good I’d say. Then 

we went out and batted well 

and chased it down in the last 

wicket,” he said. 

Seven members of the 12-man 

Christchurch Metro squad play 

for either Heathcote or Sumner. 

Heathcote was represented by 

Grant Stewart, Matthew House, 

Charles Grey and Nick Turner, 

while Sumner had Jordan Leech, 

Vann and Michael Newton Vesty. 

Heathcote’s Turner had the best 

bowling figures for Christchurch 

Metro with 4/36, while Vann also 

pitched in with 1/40. 

In Christchurch Metro’s 

run chase, Merivale-Papanui’s 

Mitchell Dimond (55) and 

captain James Carr (47) 

combined with the bat to make 

headway into South Canterbury’s 

total. 

But it came down to the 

final wicket partnership for 

Christchurch Metro to snatch the 

victory. Heathcote’s Turner and 

Stewart hit the winning runs in 

the 47th over. 

The representative side will 

play two more games in the 

new year. They will face Mid 

Canterbury and Canterbury 

Country.

THE MALTWORKS VILLAS 

New villas 

offer lifestyle 

and financial 

benefits 

The Maltworks Villas residential 

complex being constructed on the former 

Maltworks site in Heathcote Valley is 

designed for people in the over-55 age 

group that enjoy an active lifestyle and 

want to live in a place where natural beauty 

defines their surroundings. 

Located at 66 Port Hills Road, the 

Maltworks Villas will not only have views 

of the Port Hills, but will also have the 

additional benefits of the micro-climate 

environment of the valley. 

Developed by PLC Group, the complex 

will comprise 65 villas in duplex or terraced 

housing styles. 

There are 11 plans available in different 

sizes, with two- or three-bedroom and 

one- or two-bathroom units being offered. 

The advantage of the larger sizes is that 

purchasers will be able to bring more of 

their existing belongings to their new 

home, rather than having to dispose of 

them. 

Construction is linear, with doubleglazed 

windows and Colorsteel roofing 

with solar panels to reduce the cost of 

power for residents. Villas will have a 

single or double garage, depending on 

the size, while the common areas of the 

complex will be attractively landscaped and 

maintained by a caretaker. 

A key advantage for purchasers of 

villas at the Maltworks development is 

that ownership is a freehold unit title, 

rather than a licence to occupy. This will 

allow owners to benefit from the growth 

in capital value of their unit, rather than 

having limited access to participate in 

increased value, as is the case with the 

licence to occupy model. 

PLC Groups has been operating for 

15 years and has developed three over 

55/60 lifestyle villages based on the 

freehold unit title model. The Maltworks 

Villas are designed to create a community 

environment, where people of similar 

interests can enjoy 

companionship and 

share activities, with 

the well-appointed 

clubhouse offering 

facilities for socialising 

and special events. 

A store and café are 

to be built alongside 

the village, while 

a wide range of 

recreational facilities 

in close proximity to 

Maltworks Villas offer 

plenty of opportunities 

for enjoying social and 

leisure activities. 

Ferrymead, with 

its multitude of retail 

and commercial 

Under offer 

businesses, is a short drive away, the 

Eastgate shopping centre is approximately 

12 minutes’ drive away, and Lyttelton 

township and harbour are also within easy 

reach through the tunnel. 

There is a bus stop located 100 metres 

from the entrance to the village, with buses 

running to and from the city centre on a 

regular basis. 

Fourteen of the villas are under offer 

with earthworks currently underway 

and construction of the first lot of villas 

expected to be completed early in the 

New Year. 

Those wanting more 

information on Maltworks Villas 

should contact Michelle Tait, 

027 668 6268, or Gemma Roberts

Experts restore that 

“winning smile” 

MEETING PEOPLE for the first time, 

interacting with others on social occasions, 

going for a job interview - in all these 

situations your smile is the most important 

part of you. 

Or perhaps, on a lighter note, you 

might be scaring yourself with your ‘selfie’ 

because your smile is not as attractive as it 

should be, due to missing or broken teeth. 

Perhaps it’s time for a visit to Denture 

South in Barrington, where the experts can 

give you that winning smile back. 

Clinical dental technician, Andrew 

Johnson and associate Janice ling can 

provide you with a highly personalised 

experience. We have a lot of knowledge 

and experience that can help guide you 

through the process. 

For people who have had dentures for a 

while and are finding they frequently need 

to buy denture adhesive to keep them in 

place, Andrew advises having the dentures 

relined so they will fit better. As he points 

out, the money spent on denture adhesive 

over 12 months would easily cover the cost 

of having your dentures refitted. 

Denture South has been providing a full 

range of denture services for the residents 

of Christchurch for over 13 years. These 

services include first-time immediate 

dentures, full replacement dentures, partial 

plates and sports mouth-guards. 

Many Denture South clients come 

through word-of-mouth referral, an 

indication of the level of satisfaction that’s 

provided there. Coming into Christmas 

we will be open and available for all 

adjustments for our existing patients in the 

final week, making for a great Christmas.
