Decision looms over<br />
Sumner skate ramp site<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
A DECISION on whether<br />
Sumner’s skate ramp can stay<br />
where it is, is expected to be<br />
made this week.<br />
The half pipe, on the bend<br />
of Marriner St and Wakefield<br />
Ave, has been operating without<br />
a resource consent and the<br />
city council is reviewing what<br />
enforcement action to take.<br />
But Sumner business owners<br />
Chris and Roydon Gage-Smart,<br />
of Sumner Re Treat, say the<br />
skate ramp has created serious<br />
noise issues and is also having an<br />
impact on their business.<br />
“We’ve had kids skating up<br />
until midnight and it’s driving<br />
us and our clients in our<br />
apartments crazy,” Mr<br />
Gage-Smart said.<br />
The skate ramp has been on<br />
the temporary Wakefield Ave<br />
site since last winter and is<br />
facilitated by the Sumner<br />
Residents’ Community<br />
Association.<br />
Last week, the city council<br />

•HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you<br />
think the skate park should be<br />
shifted. Email annabelle.dick@<br />
starmedia.kiwi<br />
issued a compliance notice to<br />
either remove the ramp, reduce<br />
its size or apply for a resource<br />
consent by last Friday.<br />
But the city council backtracked<br />
after it realised the ramp<br />
was part of a transitional city<br />
grant.<br />
The city council’s planning<br />
department has requested a legal<br />
review on what enforcement<br />
action to take and the<br />
compliance date for its removal<br />
is now on hold.<br />
The skate ramp originally<br />
sat on the corner of Wakefield<br />
Ave and Nayland St but the city<br />
council asked the association to<br />
move it last year so construction<br />
could begin on the Sumner<br />
Centre.<br />
“The council knew we were<br />
moving to this site and told us<br />
to move. We asked them<br />
We trust you have had a nice<br />
Christmas break. We are now back<br />
on deck and taking new listings.<br />
If you are considering selling in<br />
<strong>2017</strong> please give us a call to discuss<br />
the many options available. We<br />
have local knowledge, expertise,<br />
honesty and integrity and our team<br />
are committed to achieving the<br />
best possible result for you.<br />
to find us a site and they<br />
couldn’t and told us to find<br />
some privately-owned land,”<br />
Sumner Community Residents’<br />
Association member Kimberley<br />
Mossman said.<br />
The current site belongs to a<br />
local resident who loaned it to<br />
the association to put the ramp<br />
on for the interim.<br />
The group looking to move<br />
the ramp to the former Marine<br />
Tavern site permanently to create<br />
a village green.<br />

GREAT TO see Di France<br />
rewarded for her work at the<br />
Redcliffs Tennis Club.<br />
Sports clubs can’t survive without<br />
people like Di so it’s fantastic<br />
news that she has been recognised<br />
by Tennis NZ (see page 3).<br />
I’ve seen many good sports<br />
clubs fall by the wayside over the<br />
years; usually because the administrators<br />
aren’t solid enough; or<br />
the clubs simply can’t get people<br />
to do the large amounts of volunteer<br />
work needed.<br />
Di has been tied up with the<br />
club for many years and says she<br />
is humbled by with the Volunteer<br />
of the Year award she received at a<br />
ceremony in Auckland.<br />
And well done to the people or<br />
person who nominated Di for the<br />
award.<br />
Also today, we reveal the issues<br />
surrounding the skate ramp in<br />
central Sumner. See page 1.<br />

Di takes big tennis award<br />
DISTINCTION: Di France alongside her husband, Roger, after<br />
she received the Volunteer of the Year award from Tennis<br />
NZ.<br />
• By Gordon Find later<br />
DI FRANCE has been<br />
acknowledged by Tennis NZ for<br />
her work rebuilding one of the<br />
city’s oldest clubs.<br />
The Redcliffs Tennis Club<br />
president was awarded the<br />
Volunteer of the Year award<br />
at Tennis NZ’s annual awards<br />
night this month.<br />
Mrs France travelled to<br />
Auckland to attend the awards<br />
and got the chance to meet the<br />
country’s best players and see<br />
some top international action<br />
on court at the ASB Classic,<br />
which was being played at the<br />
same time.<br />
“It was an honour to be<br />
included in the function, it was<br />
great. I felt terribly humbled by<br />
it,” she said.<br />
The award came in recognition<br />
of her role in reopening<br />
the Redcliffs club after it was<br />
devastated by the February 2011<br />
earthquake.<br />
“The courts were completely<br />
demolished; they had to be fully<br />
reinstated,” said Mrs France.<br />
The club was in recess for<br />
two years while it raised the<br />
$200,000 needed to rebuild the<br />
courts.<br />
Mrs France was instrumental<br />
in the club surviving extinction.<br />
She stepped in as project<br />
manager, applying for community<br />
grants and overseeing the<br />
reinstatement of the damaged<br />
courts. When the club reopened<br />
in May 2013, she was elected as<br />
president. Under her leadership,<br />
membership has grown from<br />
40 juniors and 22 seniors to 132<br />
juniors and 35 affiliated senior<br />
members.<br />
This hasn’t been her first stint<br />
in the role. Mrs France served<br />
as the club’s president during<br />
the early 1980s before becoming<br />
inactive in the sport for over<br />
20 years. When rumours of the<br />
club’s potential closure came to<br />
light following the earthquake,<br />
she was prompted into action.<br />
France continues to be the<br />
driving force behind the tennis<br />
club. She has established junior<br />
tennis coaching, first by engaging<br />
Stu Chalmers as junior<br />
coach in 2013, then by organising<br />
Evie Ruegg to take on the<br />
head coach role.<br />
She also established social<br />
senior club tennis on Tuesday<br />
and Friday mornings, which she<br />
herself attends.<br />
Along with her husband,<br />
Roger, Mrs France undertakes<br />
regular maintenance of the<br />
courts, club house and hall.<br />
The club leased its hall to<br />
the displaced Redcliffs Public<br />
Library until December last<br />
year. Mrs France said the next<br />
challenge was to develop the<br />
club to utilise the hall space now<br />
available.<br />
Using networks she has built<br />
throughout Redcliffs, Mrs<br />
France encourages strong community<br />
and family participation<br />
in club events.<br />
She regularly offers her own<br />
services to club activities, which<br />
may include cooking sausages<br />
or preparing afternoon tea for<br />
prize-givings and end of season<br />
parties.<br />
In Brief<br />
BABY IN LOCKED CAR<br />
Firefighters were called to help<br />
get a baby out of a locked car<br />
parked on Sumner’s Esplanade on<br />
Monday. Sumner Volunteer Fire<br />
Brigade received the call at about<br />
11.10am. However, when firefighters<br />
arrived, the car had been unlocked.<br />
A Fire Service spokesman<br />
said it was an accident and the<br />
baby’s father had arrived with the<br />
spare key for the vehicle before<br />
firefighters arrived. Meanwhile,<br />
a woman was seriously injured<br />
when her vehicle crashed into a<br />
retaining wall near Governors<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> at about 10.50am on Monday.<br />
Firefighters waited for the ambulance<br />
to arrive before getting the<br />
woman out of the vehicle.<br />
STRANGE BLACK CLOUD<br />
A mysterious black plume that<br />
invaded Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong> last<br />
week was likely soot from a<br />
departing vessel. Environment<br />
Canterbury initially said it was<br />
coal dust from the port. But ECan<br />
regional leader investigations and<br />
incident response Valyn Barrett<br />
said further investigation showed<br />
the substance was likely to be<br />
soot from the stack of a departing<br />
vessel and not coal dust as first<br />
thought. Ms Barrett said it was<br />
non-toxic to marine life and it<br />
could not be cleaned up with a<br />
boom.<br />
The team at Smart<br />
Real Estate wishes<br />
you a very happy<br />
New Year<br />
We thank you for your continued<br />
support and look forward to<br />
working with you in <strong>2017</strong>.<br />

Mary Kamo<br />
Prison chaplain role rewarded<br />
DEDICATED:<br />
Mary Kamo<br />
received a<br />
New Year<br />
Honour for<br />
services to<br />
the welfare<br />
of prisoners<br />
after being<br />
a prison<br />
chaplain for<br />
33 years.<br />
Mary Kamo spent 33 years working with prisoners to turn their lives around. Bridget<br />
Rutherford spoke to her about helping inmates, living at Birdlings Flat, and being<br />
proud of her kids<br />
You were made a Companion of the<br />
New Zealand Order of Merit in the<br />
New Year Honours. How did you<br />
feel when you found out?<br />
I was astonished; I thought they<br />
must have had the wrong person.<br />
But when I realised I felt very, very<br />
privileged. I found out about two<br />
months before the announcement.<br />
When you’re told, you have to keep it<br />
confidential and that was the hardest<br />
part, I couldn’t tell anybody!<br />
You received the honour for<br />
your work with the inmates<br />
at Christchurch Women’s,<br />
Paparua Men’s and<br />
Rolleston prisons as<br />
chaplain. Can you tell<br />
me what your work<br />
involved?<br />
It involved visiting<br />
the prison, meeting<br />
with inmates, doing<br />
sacraments,<br />
and Sunday<br />
services. Just<br />
really trying to<br />
assist inmates<br />
in getting<br />
some sense<br />
of their own<br />
WHANAU: Mary Kamo loves to spend time with her family.<br />
spirituality. A lot of people would say<br />
they believed in some sort of faith,<br />
but a lot don’t know how to bring it<br />
into daily living. More than 50 per<br />
cent of women in prison are Maori,<br />
and because of my involvement I was<br />
able to meet them at that level and<br />
also bring in people from their own<br />
iwi or kaumatua to come in a meet<br />
with them and do their whakapapa<br />
with them. I worked in Paparua and<br />
Rolleston prisons as well, but my<br />
heart was in the women’s prison because<br />
what we need to do, I believe,<br />
is find alternatives to imprisonment.<br />
Now I’m not talking about them not<br />
taking responsibility for criminal<br />
activity, but I do think there are<br />
probably better ways of handling it<br />
than breaking up families, children<br />
going into care, and then that whole<br />
damage being very difficult to repair<br />
when the mothers come out of<br />
prison. Pillars say that the families<br />
do the sentence, and that’s absolutely<br />
true.<br />

with New Year’s honour<br />
How did you come into the<br />
role?<br />
I had been very involved in<br />
the community in the Christian<br />
family movement. Then I moved<br />
onto working as a volunteer for<br />
Whakatata House, I was volunteering<br />
there for some years.<br />
Then I got involved in starting up<br />
the restorative justice outreach<br />
in Christchurch. I was asked if I<br />
would take on the role as prison<br />
chaplain and with a little bit of<br />
trepidation agreed to do that and<br />
it went from there. It was while I<br />
was a prison chaplain that I got<br />
involved with Pillars, a charity<br />
for children of prisoners, because<br />
my husband, Ray, and I were<br />
nominated to be the kaumatua<br />
for Pillars.<br />
Did you ever expect to be doing<br />
it for 33 years?<br />
No, I didn’t. I had a few times<br />
thought I would retire but I had<br />
a project I really wanted to get<br />
established and that was for<br />
Tukutuku panels to be put up in<br />
the prison chapel, specifically the<br />
ones that are called the stairway<br />
to heaven. It seemed to me the<br />
chapel was very mono-cultural<br />
and I thought it should reflect<br />
something of the lives of the<br />
women who worshipped in there<br />
as well. I used to say to the prison<br />
– because there was often difficulty<br />
with finance – if you want<br />
to get rid of me, get the panels<br />
done, I’ll leave then (laughs). The<br />
day the panels went up, that’s the<br />
day I retired. I have to give credit<br />
to Father Jim Consedine. He invited<br />
me to consider chaplaincy,<br />
he is the one who supported<br />
prison chaplaincy in Christchurch,<br />
and he was prison chaplain<br />
himself for many years.<br />
Do you miss it?<br />
I do miss it, I miss the women.<br />
I am a kaiwhakamana, who are<br />
mainly Maori elders, and the<br />
Government set up a scheme<br />
for elders to be able to visit<br />
any prison in the country and<br />
support their people. That system<br />
means these elders are available<br />
on request or available to visit<br />
the prison, and meet with<br />
people, so I will go back as<br />
kaiwhakamana.<br />
SIBLINGS:<br />
Both Miriama<br />
and Ward<br />
Kamo work in<br />
television.<br />
Is there anything that has really<br />
stuck with you during your<br />
work?<br />
The care that was extended<br />
to me. That’s what I found in<br />
the prison, the majority of the<br />
women would care for each other,<br />
then staff do the same. There<br />
were times where I asked myself<br />
who was ministering who. It matured<br />
me, expanded my thinking<br />
and expanded my heart.<br />
And you live near Little River<br />
don’t you?<br />
I live in Birdlings Flat, we<br />
recycled a house off the red zone<br />
from Burwood and set it up on<br />
a property my husband had inherited.<br />
We lived at Birdlings Flat<br />
before our first child was born,<br />
and when we realised schools<br />
and doctors weren’t that close,<br />
we bought in Brighton. We lived<br />
there right up until the earthquake<br />
meant we had to move<br />
back to Birdlings. I love it here.<br />
And one of your daughters,<br />
Miriama Kamo, is quite a<br />
familiar face for many Kiwis.<br />
She is, we’ve got used to it. She<br />
is very good at what she does,<br />
what you see on screen is Miriama<br />
as she is. That is the person<br />
that she is and that’s what we’re<br />
proud of.<br />
Did you ever think when she<br />
was young that she would be<br />
fronting shows such as Sunday<br />
and Kiwi Living?<br />
No (laughs). Miriama’s shy.<br />
Most people won’t believe that.<br />
She was so shy that she wouldn’t<br />
talk and she would hide behind<br />
my skirt if anyone said hello to<br />
her.<br />
What do your other children<br />
do?<br />
We’ve got five – the oldest, our<br />
son Ward, is on Native Affairs.<br />
Our eldest daughter Michaela<br />
works in Tauranga for the <strong>Bay</strong><br />
of Plenty Health Board, then<br />
Amos, works for the New Zealand<br />
Transport Agency. Then<br />
our youngest, Sian, works for an<br />
insurance company in Auckland.<br />
We have lots of grandchildren –<br />
13.<br />
Where did you grow up?<br />
I was born in Dunedin of<br />
which I’m very proud. If my<br />
husband is watching Canterbury<br />
play Otago he has to watch it<br />
with my blue and gold scarf<br />
hanging across the television.<br />
So what brought you up to<br />
Christchurch?<br />
That was my big OE! A<br />
girlfriend and I were going to<br />
go overseas, but we hadn’t seen<br />
much of New Zealand so we<br />
started off in Queenstown. Then<br />
my mother said we want you in<br />
Christchurch (because they had<br />
moved there) for your 21st. So the<br />
very next day after my 21st we<br />
went to a nightclub/coffee<br />
bar. And here was this musician<br />
who owned it and that was the<br />
end of it. A friend invited us<br />
to meet him there on a Friday<br />
night, so that’s when I really met<br />
Ray. I’m still threatening to go<br />
overseas!<br />

Sailing around Croatia for hope<br />
• By Annabelle Dick<br />
LYTTELTON resident<br />
Ingrid Robertson may have a<br />
debilitating condition but it’s<br />
not stopping her from sailing<br />
Croatia’s coastline.<br />
Ms Robertson, 50, has been<br />
selected to take part in Sailing<br />
Sclerosis’ Oceans of Hope – an<br />
international sailing expedition<br />
for people with multiple<br />
sclerosis.<br />
It will see her travel to Croatia<br />
where she will sail a yacht<br />
around the Dalmatian coast<br />
with other people affected by<br />
MS from around the world.<br />
“I like proving a point to<br />
myself that I can still do things<br />
and not be disabled by my MS.<br />
It’s a little bit outside of my<br />
comfort zone because I’m going<br />
to the other side of the world on<br />
my own and doing something<br />
I haven’t done in a while,” she<br />
said.<br />
Ms Robertson first encountered<br />
Oceans of Hope when a<br />
yacht came to Auckland in 2014<br />
and she sailed around the harbour<br />
on it for several hours.<br />
Ever since then, she’s been<br />
hooked and wanted to take part.<br />
Ms Robertson was invited to<br />
an expedition in Croatia in May<br />
where she will be the only New<br />
Zealander on board one of the<br />
SETTING SAIL: Ingrid Robertson will head to Croatia to sail<br />
the Dalmatian coast with other people affected by MS from<br />
around the world. <br />
10 vessels.<br />
“There will be 10 yachts with a<br />
crew of six on each that all have<br />
MS,” she said.<br />
“To me, it’s about meeting<br />
people that have the same condition.<br />
It will be so interesting<br />
sharing experiences and learning<br />
from everybody and making<br />
new friends.”<br />
Ms Robertson was diagnosed<br />
with MS in 1999 at 33. She’s now<br />
uses a walking stick for mobility.<br />
While the condition has<br />
DAREDEVIL: Ingrid<br />
Robertson wants to prove a<br />
point to herself that she can<br />
do almost anything.<br />
progressively affected her physically,<br />
she still works full-time, is<br />
on the board of directors for the<br />
Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s<br />
Society of Canterbury and<br />
its research committee.<br />
She’s also more adventurous<br />
than most having done all sort<br />
of daredevil-type activities.<br />
“I’ve always been active. I’ve<br />
done the bungy jump, I’ve<br />
done the sky dive, I’ve been in<br />
cars in race tracks going up to<br />
200 km/h. I love the rush and<br />
adrenaline,” she said.<br />
But before Ms Robertson can<br />
take part, she needs help financing<br />
the trip.<br />

Skate ramp<br />
decision<br />
looms<br />
•From page 1<br />
Nearby residents say they’ve<br />
witnessed drinking, littering and<br />
users purposely banging their<br />
boards against the ramp to keep<br />
neighbours awake.<br />
“It’s wooden and it creates<br />
a lot of noise. If there’s half a<br />
dozen kids there in the evening,<br />
it’s very loud. The local nearby<br />
residents, we’ve got together and<br />
we’re against it. We just want<br />
it out of here,” Mr Gage-Smart<br />
said.<br />
Mrs Mossman said the<br />
problems were related to older<br />
teenagers coming into Sumner<br />
in the evening when the ramp<br />
was unlocked.<br />
The residents’ association<br />
agreed to unlock and lock the<br />
ramp at 8am and 9.30pm each<br />
day to mitigate issues.<br />
“I get it doesn’t suit everyone<br />
but what are kids going to be<br />
doing if there’s no skate ramp?<br />
These kids are really engaged<br />
and skating is a really tough<br />
activity. They’re a great bunch of<br />
kids,” she said.<br />
Young local skaters who<br />
frequently use it wanted to see it<br />
stay as well.<br />

HOLIDAY<br />
FUN<br />
THE BUSY Bumbles programme<br />
has been busy keeping Sumner<br />
children entertained over the<br />
holiday period.<br />
As part of the programme,<br />
children had an “Ahoy There”<br />
day where they played games and<br />
did activities related to theme of<br />
pirates and mermaids.<br />
“Let’s go ape!” was another<br />
theme-based day where there was<br />
lots of monkeying around with<br />
more activities, crafts and games.<br />
On Superhero Day, children<br />
made their own capes and masks<br />
from the Make Craft Company.<br />
They used their X-ray super<br />
power to work out the mystery<br />
objects and helped fight evil.<br />
The Sumner Busy Bumbles<br />
holiday programme will run<br />
through to <strong>January</strong> 31.<br />
JEWELS: Isabelle shows off her<br />

Accolade for<br />
restaurant<br />
LYTTELTON restaurant Roots<br />
has been named in a prestigious<br />
list of the world’s 1000 best<br />
eateries.<br />
La Liste is a restaurant guide<br />
compiled from hundreds of<br />
guidebooks and online review<br />
sites to list the world’s 1000 top<br />
restaurants.<br />
Eight New Zealand restaurants<br />
made the list and Roots<br />
was the only restaurant outside<br />
of Auckland to make the cut.<br />
It’s owned by Christy Martin<br />
and Giulio Sturla who opened<br />
the restaurant in 2012.<br />
Roots also won Cuisine<br />
Magazine’s Restaurant of the<br />
Year award in 2015. It was also<br />
named runner-up best new<br />
restaurant in the Good Food<br />
Awards in 2014.<br />
Auckland-based restaurants<br />
The French Cafe, The Grove,<br />
Sidart, Kazuya, Cocoro, Merediths<br />
and Baduzzi also feature<br />
on the list.<br />
Last year there were four Kiwi<br />
restaurants on the list, compared<br />
to this year’s eight.<br />
My Kitchen Rules NZ judge<br />
Ben <strong>Bay</strong>ly is executive chef of<br />
two restaurants on the list, The<br />
Grove and Baduzzi. He told<br />
the Weekend Herald he was “so<br />
proud” to be associated with<br />
two establishments which were<br />
included.<br />
Beachgoers put off by weather<br />
• By Annabelle Dick and Fraser<br />
Walker-Pearce<br />
THE BUSIEST days of the<br />
lifesaving season are yet to<br />
come.<br />
A mixture of cooler temperatures<br />
and getting the right<br />
messages to the public has seen a<br />
safe summer so far, clubs say.<br />
Normally the busiest part of a<br />
beach lifeguard’s season is over<br />
Christmas and New Year – but<br />
not this year due to cooler temperatures<br />
over the festive period.<br />
Sumner Surf Lifesaving Club<br />
lifeguard captain Henry Lawson<br />
said the traditional busy period<br />
on the beaches has passed, but it<br />
was quieter than normal due to<br />
the weather and surf conditions.<br />
“The weather hasn’t been great<br />
and the surf hasn’t been very<br />
good. There hasn’t been much<br />
of a wave – a couple of days<br />
have been all right but it’s pretty<br />
small,” he said.<br />
But Mr Lawson expects it to<br />
get busier as a large number of<br />
people are returning from holidays<br />
away.<br />
“There’s a drop off when people<br />
head out of town but when<br />
it’s the end of the holidays and<br />
families have been to the park,<br />
museum and done everything<br />
they can then the beach is always<br />
there,” he said.<br />
“ We expect a kick up from<br />
here.”<br />
Incidents at Sumner have also<br />
been low, Mr Lawson said the<br />
biggest injury so far was a finger<br />
that wouldn’t stop bleeding.<br />
“It’s been pretty relaxed with<br />
incidents due to the weather.<br />

Rips and currents aren’t very<br />
powerful so people have been<br />
able to manage it,” he said.<br />
Meanwhile, further north,<br />
New Brighton Surf Lifesaving<br />
Club lifeguard manager Scotty<br />
Roberts said the traditional<br />
busy period on the beaches has<br />
passed, but it was quieter than<br />
normal because the weather<br />
“hasn’t been that fantastic” so<br />
far.<br />
“I’m hoping that kind of<br />
weather is still to come, I really<br />
want to see more sun come<br />
through and with that then<br />
comes the increase in numbers<br />
on the beach,” he said.<br />
Waimairi president Mike<br />
Litten said the club has seen<br />
“slightly” fewer people on the<br />
beach compared to the last couple<br />
of years.<br />
“On our beach it’s very familyoriented,<br />
further down in [New]<br />
Brighton it’s more adults, but on<br />
ours we tend to see families and<br />
young people. Due to that there’s<br />
probably been fewer saves than<br />
at this time last year I think,” he<br />
said.<br />

people heal but soon she will be<br />
expressing that desire through a<br />
form other than music.<br />
The former When The Cats<br />
Away singer recently qualified as<br />
a hypnotherapist after completing<br />
a two-month course in San<br />
Francisco and is working on<br />
setting up her own practice this<br />
year.<br />
Come March 4 though, her<br />
focus will be on using her vocal<br />
talents to woo the crowd at<br />
Selwyn Sounds when she performs<br />
on a bill stacked with Kiwi<br />
rock royalty. Also playing will be<br />
Dragon, Mi-Sex, the Jordan Luck<br />
Band and Jason Kerrison, among<br />
others.<br />
Harwood said herself, Crummer,<br />
Urlich and O’Neill had<br />
strong chemistry which had been<br />
key to their success.<br />
“Seeing as we have been<br />
making music since the early 80s,<br />
and the 70s in Sharon’s situation,<br />
we have been right through<br />
people’s lives with them as well,”<br />
she said.<br />
“I never ever, ever take that<br />
for granted, I will always get on<br />
stage with enormous respect for<br />
that, that those people have been<br />
through lots of different things,<br />
great things and sad things, with<br />
our music as a soundtrack to<br />
those things.”<br />
Harwood had been interested<br />
in hypnotherapy since undergoing<br />
it herself in her early 20s,<br />
when it helped her overcome<br />
asthma and other health problems<br />
which were affecting her<br />
singing.<br />
However, she only made the<br />
decision to train as a hypnotherapist<br />
early last year.<br />
“I love being able to help people<br />
make changes to core beliefs so<br />
I literally woke up at 8am in the<br />
morning with this feeling, by<br />
10am that morning I had booked<br />
my flights and registered with the<br />
school in San Francisco and off I<br />
went,” she said.<br />
“I am quite impulsive and<br />
when I get a strong feeling about<br />
something I will act on it.”<br />
Harwood has been plagued by<br />
health problems throughout her<br />
career and in 2009 had to seek<br />
more conventional medical help.<br />
Seriously ill at the age of 49, she<br />
underwent open heart surgery<br />
at St George’s Hospital to fix a<br />
failed mitral valve and hole in her<br />
heart.<br />
“One of the funniest things<br />
ENERGY:<br />
Debbie<br />
Harwood is<br />
starting a new<br />
hypnotherapy<br />
practice but<br />
will be fully<br />
focused on<br />
music when she<br />
plays Lincoln’s<br />
Selwyn Sounds<br />
concert in<br />
March. <br />
that has ever happened to me was<br />
when I woke up from the operation<br />
in ICU. I was very, very ill,<br />
and I looked at the bottom of my<br />
bed and my surgeon and ward<br />
doctor were there,” she said.<br />

“I was looking at the ward<br />
doctor and he had long hair<br />
and blue scrubs and his name<br />
tag said David Bowie – that was<br />
his actual name. I am pretty sure<br />
I said to him at some point: ‘I<br />
think your best work was Life on<br />
Mars, David’. He was a musician<br />
too.”<br />
Her health was now better than<br />
it had been for more than 20<br />
years and felt she had received “a<br />
second go at life.”<br />
Harwood has just recorded a<br />
new song called Isolated which<br />
she hopes to release in the next<br />
two months. She plans on recording<br />
four more songs but is not<br />
expecting to put out a full album.<br />
She was looking forward to<br />
playing on the same bill with the<br />
other Selwyn Sounds artists, such<br />
as Dragon which she had a long<br />
association with.<br />
Former Dragon keyboardist<br />
Alan Mansfield now plays with<br />
Harwood, O’Neill, Crummer<br />
and Urlich, and Harwood had<br />
been good friends with another<br />
former Dragon keyboardist Paul<br />
Hewson.<br />
In fact Hewson’s death from<br />
a drug overdose in 1984, when<br />
he was 33, had a profound effect<br />
on her career. Having just left<br />
Dragon, Hewson was staying<br />
with Harwood and her flatmate<br />
in Auckland at the time.<br />

“I cooked him his last dinner,<br />
fillet steak actually, and then<br />

BEST OF FRIENDS: From left, Margaret Urlich, Harwood and<br />
Annie Crummer will perform together at Selwyn Sounds, along<br />
with Sharon O’Neill (not pictured).<br />
I knew I had the police on my<br />
doorstep in the morning, it was<br />
very devastating,” Harwood<br />
said.<br />
“I was 24 and my career had<br />
only just started, and so my very<br />
first single that I released in 1984<br />
I dedicated to him. It was called<br />
If That Will Make you Happy and<br />
I won a music award the following<br />
year for that which was where<br />
the seed of When The Cat’s Away<br />
started because Margaret Urlich,<br />
Annie Crummer and I were at<br />
the music awards in 85.”<br />

The great red rock hunt<br />
CONTRACTORS need help<br />
tracking down red rock in<br />
Lyttelton to reface a retaining<br />
wall.<br />
Dubbed ‘The Great<br />
Lyttelton Red Rock Hunt,’<br />
contractors have put out a call<br />
to residents to look through<br />
their properties for pieces of<br />
rock so the wall on the cnr of<br />
Coleridge Tce and Dublin St<br />
can be finished.<br />
City council project<br />
manager Richard Humm said<br />
contractors were running<br />
short of the volcanic rock<br />
needed for the external finish.<br />
“The cost of restoring every<br />
red rock wall is prohibitively<br />
high, but key walls around the<br />
town are being refaced using<br />
salvaged rocks. Unfortunately,<br />
we have run very short and<br />
urgently need Lyttelton<br />
residents to help us out by<br />
rummaging through their<br />
gardens, backyards or old<br />
demolished buildings to find<br />
pieces of rock that we can<br />
use to finish some of our key<br />
walls,” Mr Humm said.<br />
The team need 389 sq m of<br />
red rock to restore the wall.<br />
They’re after pieces that are<br />
about the size of a loaf of bread<br />
or bigger.<br />
Red rock walls have heritage<br />

No job too big or small<br />
I SEE RED: The hunt is on to find more red rock to reface Lyttelton’s retaining walls.<br />
significance, dating back to<br />
the very early settlement of<br />
Lyttelton, Mr Humm said, as<br />
many of them were built in<br />
the 19th century by inmates at<br />
Lyttelton Gaol.<br />
“We know there will<br />
be red rock lying around<br />
people’s properties that we<br />
can hopefully take off their<br />
hands and use to restore these<br />
heritage walls,” Mr Humm<br />
said.<br />
“We can’t do every wall<br />
around the town but by<br />
restoring a few of these key<br />
walls, we maintain the unique<br />
heritage of the streetscape.”<br />

talks<br />
about<br />
bringing<br />
the cruise<br />
ships<br />
back to<br />
Lyttelton and generating<br />
money to put towards<br />
conservation efforts.<br />
It was good to see the<br />
cruise ship Europa 2<br />
berthed in Lyttelton last<br />
week and the extra business<br />
its passengers would have<br />
generated for Lyttelton and<br />
city retail and food businesses<br />
and Canterbury tourism<br />
operators.<br />
The Lyttelton Port of<br />
Christchurch is focused on<br />
expanding its container and<br />
cargo operations, saying this<br />
is more profitable than the<br />
berthage fees it gets from<br />
cruise ships. Yet as a city<br />
council-owned company, LPC<br />
also has a wider responsibility<br />
to the city and regional<br />
economy. Discussions<br />
continue between LPC and<br />
the council about a dedicated<br />
cruise ship berth and how this<br />
is to be funded.<br />
Some 3.3 million people<br />
visited New Zealand in the<br />
year to March 2016. By 2022,<br />
this number is expected to<br />
reach 4.5 million. Tourism<br />
has overtaken dairying as<br />
New Zealand’s biggest earner.<br />
Many tourists are attracted<br />
by New Zealand’s spectacular<br />
landscapes and natural areas.<br />
Yet they contribute little to<br />
their protection and are creating<br />
significant people pressure<br />
in some areas.<br />
Akaroa is swamped by visitors<br />
when cruise ships visit<br />
and we had the first recorded<br />
outbreak of noro-virus in<br />
tramping huts in Nelson<br />
Lakes National Park this<br />
summer.<br />
I believe many tourists<br />
would be happy to help<br />
protect the special places they<br />
come to enjoy. The Green<br />
Party’s Taonga Levy would<br />
see international visitors pay<br />
an extra $<strong>18</strong> on top of existing<br />
biosecurity charges when they<br />
arrive in New Zealand.<br />
This would generate<br />
$46 million annually on average,<br />
and $1.5 billion by 2050<br />
to help the under-funded<br />
Department of Conservation<br />
control stoats, possums, rats<br />
and other predators so our endangered<br />
plants and wildlife<br />
can thrive. The Taonga Levy<br />
would help make Predator<br />
Free New Zealand a reality.<br />
The Taonga Levy would<br />
also generate about $80<br />
million over four years ($20<br />
million per annum) to help<br />
councils in tourist hot spots<br />
provide basic tourism infrastructure.<br />
Some communities with<br />
FUNDING:<br />
Cruise ships<br />
in Lyttelton<br />
generate<br />
retail<br />
and food<br />
business.<br />
a small rating base, such as<br />
in the Mackenzie Basin, are<br />
struggling to keep up with<br />
the cost of providing and<br />
maintaining tourist facilities<br />
such as toilets, camper-van<br />
dump stations and upgraded<br />
wastewater schemes. The<br />
Taonga Levy would help them<br />
do this.<br />
If New Zealand is to remain<br />
an attractive tourist destination,<br />
we need to do much<br />
more to make our “clean<br />
green” image real. Having international<br />
tourists help fund<br />
this is overdue.<br />

Bid to keep pumping untreated<br />
wastewater into harbours<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
UNTREATED wastewater will<br />
continue to be poured into the<br />
city’s waterways during storms<br />
and high rainfall.<br />
THe city council is applying<br />
to Environment Canterbury<br />
for a new resource consent to<br />
continue discharging untreated<br />
wastewater into the waterways<br />
and harbours in emergencies.<br />
More than 700,000 cu m of<br />
wastewater, including sewage,<br />
had been discharged into the<br />
waterways since 2012.<br />
Following the September<br />
2010 earthquake, ECan granted<br />
the city council consent for<br />
occasional overflows into<br />
waterways so it did not flood<br />
onto properties.<br />
However, because of<br />
earthquake damage, a nonenforcement<br />
agreement was put<br />
in place.<br />
But that ceases in March, so<br />
the city council either needed<br />
to comply with its original<br />
consent, or apply for a new<br />
one.<br />
City council three waters<br />
and waste acting head John<br />
Moore said it was unlikely<br />
to be able to meet its consent<br />
conditions, as it appeared<br />
the frequency of overflows<br />
may exceed what was<br />
allowed.<br />
He said it would<br />
be possible to stop<br />
wastewater overflows<br />
with a new pressure<br />
sewer network, however,<br />
that would cost $3<br />
billion.<br />
Wastewater includes<br />
sewage and shower, washing<br />
machine and sink water. The<br />
wastewater system had built in<br />
overflow points, which allowed<br />
wastewater to be<br />
released during storms.<br />
It overflows into the<br />
Avon and Heathcote<br />
rivers, the estuary,<br />
Lyttelton, Diamond<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>, Governors<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> and Akaroa.<br />

University’s waterways<br />

management Professor Bryan<br />
EMERGENCIES:<br />
The city council<br />
will apply for a<br />
new resource<br />
consent to<br />
discharge<br />
untreated<br />
wastewater<br />
into waterways<br />
during high<br />
rainfall.<br />
Jenkins (left) said the national<br />
standard for wastewater<br />
discharges was once every two<br />
years.<br />
However, in Christchurch it<br />
was happening once every six<br />
months, he said.<br />
For the city’s rivers to be used<br />
safely for recreation, there could<br />
not be any sewage flowing into<br />
them, he said.<br />
“Until that’s dealt with, we<br />
can’t have swimmable Avon and<br />
Heathcote rivers.”<br />
Some Port Hills<br />
tracks closed<br />
due to danger<br />
from rockfall<br />
PEOPLE USING mountain bike<br />
and walking tracks in the Port Hills<br />
are being warned to keep away from<br />
sign-posted areas due to dangerous<br />
rock scaling and blasting work.<br />
The blasting and scaling work is<br />
part of a multi-million dollar project<br />
to get the Sumner to Lyttelton corridor<br />
re-opened.<br />
A large area above and below<br />
Sumner Rd on the Lyttelton side of<br />
the Port Hills is currently extremely<br />
dangerous and off-limits to the<br />
public.<br />
Residents are being advised to<br />
stay off the walking and cycle tracks<br />
in the area shown in the map at all<br />
times, including weekends.<br />
Signage and fencing has been<br />
increased to make it clear where the<br />
hazardous areas are and that people<br />
should not enter.<br />
The blasting and scaling work is<br />
being carried out by McConnell<br />
Dowell, in partnership with Beca,<br />
Doug Hood Mining and Geovert,<br />
and is being jointly funded by the<br />
city council and the New Zealand<br />
Transport Agency.<br />
The aim is to remove any loose<br />
rock that could fall onto Sumner Rd<br />
ahead of repair work on the road<br />

Make wise<br />
choices for<br />
holiday fun<br />
BAY HARBOUR<br />
PAGE 21<br />
Don’t spend your holiday<br />
recuperating from a preventable<br />
accident. The double whammy of<br />
the holiday and summer seasons<br />
are in full swing. Accidents lead<br />
the way for ambulance rides and<br />
healing time. An accident is just<br />
that. An event that happens from<br />
a series of events, causing bodily<br />
harm. In most cases those events<br />
could have been prevented with<br />
a little more thought behind the<br />
decision.<br />
At Physiotherapy Associates,<br />
located at 86 Wainoni Rd,<br />
Wainoni, they pride themselves<br />
in assisting the healing process<br />
and they are strong advocates in<br />
that awareness and assessment<br />
are the key to prevention.<br />
“We stress to our clients, the<br />
following; always have a first aid<br />
kit in the car, on the boat, or at<br />
your location and do a first aid<br />
course. Muscle and ligament<br />
strains and sprains are some<br />
of the most common accident<br />
results.” Says head physiotherapist<br />
Richard.<br />
Alcohol consumption is one<br />
of the biggest contributors to<br />
any accident. As people mature<br />
in many cases they acquire that,<br />
“invisible, superhero syndrome”<br />
where they feel they can do<br />
actions with the same buoyancy as<br />
when they were younger. In many<br />
instances this leads to the result<br />
of a fall, tweak or miscalculate in<br />
the action and an injury incurs.”<br />
Richard advises, “If there is<br />
severe pain, deformity or inability<br />
to bear weight seek medical help<br />
or call 111 immediately. If soft<br />
tissue pain does not improve by<br />
the order of about 50% within 48<br />
hours, visit your GP, afterhours or<br />
your local physiotherapist.”<br />
Fun is what life is all about.<br />
Creating memories and enjoying<br />
yourself. Just remember when<br />
water-skiing, swimming,<br />
playing cricket, touch, tramping,<br />
skateboarding, running, biking,<br />
walking, or any physical activity<br />
to assess the situation, look at the<br />
potential outcome and make that<br />
choice to protect yourself and<br />
those you love.<br />
If an accident happens take<br />
the following support steps and<br />
Think RICE and HARM.<br />
R est; the injured part.<br />
I ce; apply a cold pack for 20<br />
mins<br />
C ompression; bandage to apply<br />
compression to the injured part<br />
to prevent swelling and bleeding.<br />
E levation; the part to help<br />
reduce swelling.<br />
Avoid H.A.R.M.<br />
H eat; don’t use hot packs on a<br />
fresh injury.<br />
A lcohol; avoid drinking it<br />
increases swelling and bleeding<br />
R unning; or exercise involving<br />
the injured part<br />
M assage; or rubbing can make<br />
swelling and bleeding worse.<br />
Today people look to Dr Google<br />
for answers. Remember news is<br />
sensationalized and more than<br />
50% of what’s online is incorrect.<br />
Check with your healthcare<br />
professional before diagnosing<br />
yourself.<br />
New Zealand’s approved health<br />
advice site is www.healthinfo.org.<br />
nz.<br />
Bottom line: Be careful, have<br />
fun, make conscious choices and<br />
lasting memories.<br />

Grout & Tile Specialists<br />
Summer is a great time<br />
to attend to maintenance<br />
on outdoor areas while the<br />
weather is easier to work with.<br />
This can be replacing cracked<br />
grout/mortar/tiles/pavers or<br />
completing an overdue clean<br />
of decks and patios. Jaded and<br />
worn tiled surfaces can be<br />
given a professional ‘uplift’ by<br />
Groutpro. A free assessment<br />
and quote is the first step.<br />
An upgrade of kitchens and<br />
bathrooms prior to sale gives a<br />
considerable lift in appearance,<br />
helping achieve the homes true value.<br />
Also, showers are often overlooked in the<br />
busyness of life, leaving some work to do<br />
before putting the home on the market.<br />
As a general rule, shower silicon needs<br />
replaced every 3-5years and grout needs<br />
maintenance between 8-10 years.<br />

something we can also help with; providing<br />

NOTIFICATION OF RESTRICTED<br />
FIRE SEASON<br />
(IMPOSED PURSUANT TO SECTION<br />
22(2) OF THE FOREST AND RURAL<br />
FIRES ACT 1977)<br />
CHRISTCHURCH CITY RURAL FIRE<br />
AREA INCLUDING BANKS PENINSULA<br />
Notice is hereby given that a Restricted Fire Season<br />
is imposed by the Christchurch City Council over the<br />
rural area for which the Council is the Fire Authority,<br />
for the period midnight Wednesday 11 <strong>January</strong> <strong>2017</strong><br />
until further notice.<br />
The rural area for which the Council is the Fire Authority<br />
under the Forest and Rural Fires Act 1977 covers all of<br />
the district administered by the Council as territorial<br />
authority pursuant to the Local Government Act 2002<br />
(i.e. the City of Christchurch) except:<br />
• The Christchurch, Brooklands, New Brighton,<br />
Sumner, Lyttelton, Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong>, Governors<br />
<strong>Bay</strong>, Little River and Akaroa Urban Fire Districts<br />
established under Section 26 of the Fire Service<br />
Act 1975; and<br />
• State areas and any associated Fire Safety<br />
Margin administered by the Department of<br />
Conservation.<br />
Please Note:<br />
1. The restriction does not apply to barbeques<br />
(in enclosed containers) lit on a property serviced<br />
by a domestic water supply.<br />
2. During a restricted fire season it is an offence to<br />
light any fire in the open air unless a permit has<br />
been obtained from the Christchurch City Council.<br />
Applications for permits may be made to the<br />
Christchurch City Council, Civic Offices, 53 Hereford<br />
Street, Christchurch (telephone 941-8999). Please<br />
allow at least 3 working days prior to burn date to<br />
allow for time for site inspection and issue of permit.<br />
3. Any permit issued is not a legal defence to claims<br />
for damage which may arise from the fire. The<br />
responsibility for its control and the liability for<br />
any damage which might arise lie with the person<br />
lighting the fire.<br />
4. The continuation of the restriction will be constantly<br />
reviewed and the restriction may be lifted or extended<br />
depending on the fire risk. Any such alteration will be<br />
publicly notified.<br />

NOTICE OF PROHIBITION OF FIRES IN THE OPEN AIR WITHIN THE<br />
CITY OF CHRISTCHURCH<br />
(IMPOSED PURSUANT TO SECTION 13 OF THE CHRISTCHURCH URBAN FIRE<br />
SAFETY BYLAW 2014)<br />
Notice is hereby given that the prohibition on fires in the open air over those parts of the district which are fire district<br />
declared or constituted under Section 26 of the Fire Service Act 1975 is imposed by Clause 13 of the Christchurch<br />
Urban Fire Safety Bylaw 2014 for the period from midnight Saturday 14 <strong>January</strong> <strong>2017</strong> until further notice.<br />
The prohibition applies to those parts of the district which are a Fire District declared as constituted under Section<br />
26 of the Fire Service Act 1975 and these are Brooklands, New Brighton, Sumner, Lyttelton, Governors <strong>Bay</strong>, Diamond<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>, Little River and Akaroa and Christchurch Urban Fire Districts (where District is defined as meaning “for<br />
which the Council is the territorial authority”). The Council may extend the prohibition.<br />
During any such prohibition no person shall light any fire in the open air and no person being the occupier of any<br />
premises shall cause, permit, or suffer any such fire to be lit there or to continue to burn there. The penalty for such<br />
an offence is a fine of up to $20,000.<br />
The purpose of the prohibition is to conserve public safety by preventing danger from fire.<br />
Note: The Council may at any time, where in its opinion special reason exists or may exist to prevent the outbreak<br />
or spread of fire, prohibit the lighting of fires in the open air for any specified additional period of time within all or<br />
any districts of the city as listed above.<br />
This prohibition does not apply to:<br />
1. Any barbeque, pizza oven or hangi provided:<br />
(a) it is not likely to constitute a danger to any person or property by reason of its location, risk of spread, inadequate<br />
containment, prevailing wind or otherwise; and<br />
(b) there is immediately available a pressurised water supply connected to a hose; and<br />
(c) it is adequately supervised.<br />
2. Any fire in the open air in respect of which the occupier of the land upon which the fire is situated has obtained from<br />
the Council an exemption from the prohibition.<br />
Exemptions may, under Section 15 of the Bylaw, be granted in exceptional circumstances in that:<br />
(a) the fire is urgently required to prevent, reduce or overcome any hazard to life, health, property or the environment; and<br />
(b) the use of fire is the most efficient and effective means to reduce any risk of hazard to life, health, property<br />
or the environment.<br />
Applications for exceptions may be made in writing to the Regulatory Compliance Unit, Civic Offices, PO Box 73049<br />
Christchurch 8154 or at any Council Service Centre. The issue of an exemption is not a legal defence against claims<br />
for damage arising by reason of the fire. The responsibility for its control and liability for any damage which may arise<br />
lies with the person lighting the fire.<br />
