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 />

Our People<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 />

BAY HARBOUR<br />

PAGE 5<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 />

mermaid necklace.<br />

SEA CREATURES: Isabelle and<br />

Mitchell wear mermaid tales<br />

on “Ahoy There” day.<br />

HEROES: Isabelle, 6, Mitchell, 8, Finn, 7, Arla, 8, sport their<br />

super hero capes. ​<br />

AHOY: Isabelle, Arla, Mitchell and Finn with pirate hand hooks.<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 />

always been interested in helping<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 />

Debbie Harwood<br />

“I cooked him his last dinner,<br />

fillet steak actually, and then<br />

he went out and the next thing<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 />

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 />

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 />

<strong>Harbour</strong>, Governors<br />

<strong>Bay</strong> and Akaroa.<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 />

HEALTH & BEAUTY<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 />

tile restoration options. Ph 027 746 7632.<br />

Is HOME the best place for me as I age?<br />

This is a question many older people (and<br />

as looking after yourself, housekeeping, staying<br />

active and getting out and about.<br />

as pain, fatigue, stress or loss of confidence is<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 />
