Support mounts for skate ramp
SUMNER RESIDENTS have
come out strongly for the
Wakefield Ave skate ramp to be
left where it is.
Last week, Bay Harbour News
reported concerns of Sumner Re
Treat owners Chris and Roydon
Gage-Smart who said the skate
ramp had created serious noise
issues and was impacting on
their business.
But reaction to their bid to
move the skate ramp to another
site has been swift and sharp.
Bay Harbour News has
received numerous readers’
responses – the vast majority
saying it needs to stay where it is.
(See responses pages 4 and 5).
City council head of
compliance Tracey Weston said a
noise reading had not been taken
for the skate ramp because it had
not been used in the past week
or so.
“Council will continue to be
in regular contact with the principal
complainant to determine
when the ramp is in use to enable
effective monitoring.”
The ramp was not consented,
so this month the city
council ordered it to be either
removed, consented or reduced
in size.
But that order was put on hold,
after the city council discovered
it had been built using a transitional
city grant.
The ramp’s future will be
decided when the noise test had
been completed, but it is unknown
when that will be done.
Mrs Gage-Smart said the ramp
had been much quieter since last
week’s story featured.
“The whole decision of the
notified or non-notified consent
is resting on him [noise control
officer] getting a reading, but
the kids just aren’t there making
enough noise.”
She had been told to call the
city council when it was noisy,
she said.
“We don’t mind the ramp, we
just don’t want it on our front
door.”
The Sumner Community Residents’
Association has agreed to
lock the ramp between 9.30pm
and 8am each day to prevent
noise at night.
Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board member
Darrell Latham said a permanent
location for a skate park was
needed urgently.

FROM
THE
EDITOR’S
DESK
THERE’S BEEN a big reaction to
our front page article last week on
the Wakefield Ave skate park.
And almost all of the readers
who have responded want the park
to stay where it is (see page 1, and
for reaction pages 4-5).
Of course Bay Harbour News has
been given a serve for our coverage
– some of it Trump-like possibly?
Ouch!
We of course were reporting
the concerns of a business couple
who want the skate park shifted,
and they have the right to air their
views.
Today we also report on Edith
Cavell Lifecare resident Jean
Thompson who has celebrated her
100th birthday.
Jean spent decades protesting
against war and in a time when it
was more than just frowned on. She
also plays bowls at the rest home.
The world needs more Jean
Thompson’s.

New principal
appointed for
Lyttelton
Primary
School
TO GO: These properties on Nayland St were bought to create
a car park for Matuku Takotako: Sumner Centre.
• By Annabelle Dick
NEARLY $1 million has been
spent on land to create a new car
park in Sumner.
The city council spent
$900,000 on buying two properties
on Nayland St to create a
car park for Matuku Takotako:
Sumner Centre, which is currently
under construction.
The properties, 31 and 33 Nayland
St, cost one-tenth of the $10
million budget for the centre, on
the corner of Wakefield Ave and
Nayland St.
City council property consultancy
manager Angus Smith
said it bought the two properties
to support its application
when applying for the centre’s
resource consent.
The centre includes a new
community centre, library and
museum and is expected to be
completed in April.
COMING ALONG: The two properties will be used for a car
park for the new Matuku Takotako: Sumner Centre, which is
due to open in April.
$1m bid to overcome parking woes
The properties will provide
between 20 and 30 car parks,
depending on final design, Mr
Smith said.
Since the Sumner Village
Master Plan was brought in to
redevelop the area, the loss of
car parking has been a contentious
issue within the community.
As part of the plan, parking
in the village would be reduced
by 26 spaces. Once the plan goes
ahead there will only be six car
parks on Wakefield Ave.
Last month, the Linwood-
Central-Heathcote Community
Board voted to relocate the existing
bus stop on the bend of
Marriner St and Wakefield Ave
to outside Stoked Surf Shop and
other businesses on Wakefield
Ave.
That will also see the removal
of three on-street car parks
outside those stores.
LYTTELTON Primary
School will have a new
principal when school starts on
Monday.
Brendan Wright was
previously principal at Hanmer
Springs School.
The school, a merger of the
former
Lyttelton
Main and
Lyttelton
West schools,
operated
from two
different
sites for two
years before
opening on
Brendan Wright
the same site in May last year.
Mr Wright’s appointment
followed the resignation of
former principal Diana Feary
last year, after a number of
complaints from parents
about management,
communication, teacher morale
and the impact on children’s
education.

Lyttelton’s festival season
Project
Lyttelton event
co-ordinator
Lucette Hindin
talks about
the upcoming
activities
at this year’s Lyttelton
SummerFest
Everyone likes the idea of
learning something new. But
making time for creativity often
comes last these days. Busy lives
mean self-expression, imagination
and fun can fall off the bottom
of the priority list.
If you can relate to this, the
Creative Sampler might be for
you. It’s a day of short, creative,
taster workshops that Project
Lyttelton is organising for Lyttelton
SummerFest.
The sampler is a day of speed
workshops starting on the hour
and lasting 45 minutes each.
Four workshops run each hour,
with a total of 20 offered. You
can dabble, get a taste for something
you are interested in, and
come and go throughout the day,
without the commitment of a
longer or weekly class.
The second new event in the
SummerFest this year is the Big
Whakaraupo Lyttelton Community
Barbecue on The Grassy.
Planned as a farewell to summertime,
it’ll be on March 5. There
will be a bouncy castle, heritage
games, a licensed bar and
barbecues to cook up your own
favourite food, plus local DJs will
be providing sounds. There will
be a simultaneous party at the
pool next door too.
SummerFest will also feature
the fifth Strange Bedfellows at
the Lyttelton Arts Factory on
February 26. With a whole new
group of artists mixing it up
together and presided over by the
inimitable Viktor Kropotski, the
premise is ‘what happens when
my art form meets yours?’ See local
creative folk taking risks and
merging their artistic forms with
BIG NEW YEAR SALE
13b Parkhouse Rd, CHRISTCHURCH
others in fresh unexpected ways.
SummerFest’s goal is to bring
people together through the arts,
music and broad appeal social
events. We also list other community
events in the programme
to help promote all the wonderful
things that are happening in
our community this summer.
Visit www.lyttelton.net.nz for
more information.

Apartment owners near
the skate ramp on the
bend of Marriner St and
Wakefield Ave in Sumner
are upset about the
amount of noise users are
causing and want the ramp
to go
You said:
Sarah Agnew – I really
enjoyed reading your very biased
article this morning. It’s sad
once again that you give such
a negative light on something
in our community that has functioned
without any problems for
more than four years. We have
been campaigning tirelessly to
get these kids a permanent place
to skate and this will just stuff
this completely. Yes, there was
a noise problem and we very
quickly put a group of people
together to lock the ramp and
unlock it everyday and every
night. You didn’t write this at the
start of your article did you? It’s
a shame the media has the power
with no facts of the situation
to portray what is happening in
a community. The ramp needs
to stay! What will the kids do?
At any one day, there are easily
more than 100 kids that use that
ramp. That’s all I have to say.
Erin Baker – For as long as
I can remember, 20 years plus,
there have been attempts to
have a skate park in sumner.
Sumner had always been a community
that attracts young
families to our healthy outdoors
environment. During the
same period, there has always
been complaints by groups or
individuals about the location
of a skate park. It’s time that the
greater good wins out in this
issue. What residents and groups
sometimes fail to understand is
that these various activities of
skateboarding, surfing, biking
etc keep youth active, engaged
and out of trouble. We do not
see Sumner youth out vandalising
or spray painting fences at
night and we don’t see broken
glass and litter strewn through
Sumner each morning. Too long
now we have had individuals
making unsubstantiated statements
about the effect of a skate
park. The last person to make
such a complaint has now set up
a freedom camping free for all
on the corner of the Esplanade
and Marriner St.

Yet another example of
self-serving individualism.
The community board and
council should stop worrying
about ‘keeping their jobs at the
next election’ and get on and
make a decision for the youth of
our community.
Danella Rielly – It’s actually
a fantastic spot as it’s just an
empty lot. I can grab a coffee
next door and watch my kids.
The apartments are next to
restaurants on the main road.
Noise was always going to be a
factor. My four, five and sevenyear-old
get hours of fun from it.
Karen Letchford-Cross –
Kids can’t win . . . skate and they
are ‘purposely causing noise’
or stay inside and the wowsers
whinge about kids spending
all their time on a screen! Look
at Washington Reserve in
Christchurch, loads of skaters
and having fun! Yes, there will
always be some ‘bad element’
but don’t tar all the kids with the
same brush!
Stephanie Hagerty – It’s
a catch 22 really. The kids need
something to do other than
vandalising or creating mayhem
but you want to live in a peaceful
neighbourhood. Perhaps there
could be a shut off time for week
(days) and later on weekends.
Charlotte Anne Dooley
– Would have been much noisier
at night when the Ruptured Duck
(Pizzeria) was there – it’s zoned
commercial so always going to be
noisy – lucky for the residents it’s
only during the daytime! Live in
a residentially-zoned area if you
don’t like it.
Kirsty Rueppell – The skate
ramp is a lot more appealing than
those hideous apartments that
would be more suited to the Gold
Coast. You’ve picked the wrong
crew to do battle with. Sumner
wants/deserves a skate ramp.
Thank you to the team who are
backing this and continue to fight
tirelessly in a voluntary capacity.
Thank you to the locals happily
locking up/unlocking each day.
It’s such a great community to be
a part of. City council is slowly
but surely starting to realise this.
Gavin French – If you’re
going to live in a built up area,
expect noise. Pay for triple
glassed windows to give you
quiet. Stop trying to rule other
people’s lives and get real.
Tiffany Burke – Put a
curfew on it, not sure how it’ll be
enforced, maybe a call to noise
control if people are skating past
the curfew. At least these kids are
outside and active, not glued to a
screen!
Nicola Clark – It’s a healthy
activity for the kids.
Ben Perkins – I lived in
Sumner for like six months and
saw that in use maybe three
times, all in the afternoon. It is
within a 20 second walk from the
coast, where half the tourists in
Christchurch can be found, it’s
literally in the middle of a shopping
centre, and there aren’t even
any houses next to it! It’s in the
carpark of a cafe! Whoever wants
this gone, needs to be gone.
You’re crying about nothing.
Alan Hane – Looks like wood
and plywood no wonder it’s
noisy. Needs to be concrete.
Fleur Chalk – Maybe those
people in the apartment should
give skating a try.
Sam Glassey – Build a
proper skate park? Would do better
than removing it all together.
Chelsea Berry – Can’t the
ramp be moved somewhere?
Maybe extended as compensation
for the inconvenience to the
boarders.
Michael Cochrane
– Pathetic. Probably going to be
moaning about the vandalism
that will no doubt happen to the
apartments when it gets taken
away.
Jess Howie – Always someone
to complain about kids having
fun – my thought was all that
sand ruining your bearings.
Penny Conaghan – Some
people just need something to
complain about.
Timo Costelloe – Tell the
apartment heads to chill out
Leonie Underdown – What
a pity it can’t be solved.
Michael Cook – What a
stupid place for a ramp.
Nikita Woodford – Let them
skate!
Grayson Rae – No way?!
Noise in a busy looking area?! No
way?!
Joanne Parker, Sumner
– In my opinion, I would rather
walk past a skateboard facility for
people my age (46) than
be subject to odd start
up businesses that don’t
last in Sumner and are not
thinking about the health of the
community. The reason people
move to Sumner is because of
the vibrant options for all age
groups, and good community
communication.
This community co-exists
because there is space for
everyone. The Sumner
Community Residents’
Association must continue to
advocate for the community as
this is a special place for all.

Recognition for Lyttelton restaurant
Roots makes
world’s best
fine-dining list
• By Annabelle Dick
DON’T BOTHER trying to
find a menu for Lyttelton
restaurant Roots – it doesn’t
have one.
In spite of that, it still managed
to land a placing on the
prestigious list of the world’s
1000 best eateries, La Liste.
The coveted list is a restaurant
guide compiled from hundreds
of guidebooks and online review
sites of the world’s 1000 top
restaurants.
Eight New Zealand restaurants
made the list and Roots was the
only one outside of Auckland to
make the cut.
It’s an honour for owner and
head chef, Chilean national Giulio
Sturla, who only celebrated
Roots fourth anniversary last
November.
“It’s been such a short period
of time and we’ve achieved so
much already but we’ve just
started,” he said.
“We’re so new we feel we can
do more, so it’s reinforcing that
we’re doing the right thing and
TOP NOSH: Giulio Sturla’s Lyttelton restaurant Roots has been named in La Liste, which ranks
the top 1000 eateries in the world.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
this is pushing us to do go even
further.”
Mr Sturla, who has worked
in restaurants in Mexico, the
United States, Jamaica, Ecuador,
Chile and Spain moved to New
Zealand in 2009 with his wife
Christy Martin.
The pair opened up Roots
in 2012 and created a dining
experience different to most by
removing the menus and relying
heavily on local produce.
“We wanted to do something
completely different people
haven’t seen before,” he said.
With that in mind, he started
creating fresh dishes daily out of
whatever Mother Nature had to
offer.
Nearly five years on, Mr Sturla
still relies on seasonal vegetables
and fresh fish and meat to create
his seasonal five, eight and
12-course dinners.
“People like eating several
courses, with several colours
and textures over a longer
period of time instead of just
one big plate in one sitting,” he
explains.
“I knew people disliked a
lot of foods like seafood and
mushrooms and I wondered how
people could dislike something
that tasted so good,” he said.
“The moment you read something
on a menu, you’ll decide
whether you like it and if you
want to eat it. The moment it’s
on the plate you have a different
appreciation of what you have.
We play a little with people’s
minds to show them that food
they thought they didn’t like can
be good. Trust me, I’m not going
to serve you bad food – I’m a
chef.”
Auckland-based restaurants
The French Cafe, The Grove,
Sidart, Kazuya, Cocoro, Merediths
and Baduzzi also feature
on La Liste.
Ever wanted to fly?
Advertorial
Canterbury Aero Club provides a
wide variety of training and offers a
wealth of experience. As one of the
oldest aero clubs in New Zealand, it’s
the place to go for all things aviation:
from one-off introductory flights, to
private licences and right through to
commercial licences. It is also home to
the International Aviation Academy
of New Zealand, which runs a range
of programmes to train commercial
pilots. Members enjoy free rein of the
club’s premises, which overlooks the
Christchurch Airport runway, and are
given access to club’s planes. Imagine
taking to the skies with the family in
tow!
If you’ve ever had a Top Gun fantasy,
phone Canterbury Aero Club and
book yourself an Introductory Flight
Lesson. For a very reasonable $150,
you will be in the air before you
know it, and have a great
conversation starter for years
to come.
Urban Myth #1
Flying a plane is really
difficult.
Urban Myth #2
It’s really expensive – I need
to be the CEO of Microsoft to
afford that.
Kate Preece tells us about
her experience:
Flying a plane was never
something I thought I could do.
I assumed it was well beyond
my skill level and would send
the budget into a tailspin.
However, I was very wrong.
Canterbury Aero Club takes
the difficulty out of flying. Anyone can
fly a plane, and they’re
quick to let you know
that’s the case. The
qualified team are
experts at banishing
self doubt, and treat
this unfathomable feat
as a walk in the park.
I had no experience in
aviation, yet I taxied a
four-seater plane, took
off, flew out to Banks
Peninsula, and landed.
With an instructor
beside you, there’s
always a safety net, and never an issue.
Taking a flying lesson should be on
everyone’s bucket list. Why? Why not!
-Kate Preece
Becoming a recreational pilot operates
on a ‘pay as you go’ system, so there’s
no big outlay. In fact, a typical flight
will cost you around the same as a
day’s skiing. Kids and partners are
welcome at the club and the facilities
make for a great place to hang out and
be entertained.
The reception is manned seven days
a week by flight instructors who are
more than happy to help with any
questions.
To learn more or book a flight, go to
www.cac.co.nz or phone 359 2121.

Where does the time go?
Market Comment with Craig Prier
Just as we are all getting used to shorts and jandals, bbq’s and the beach the New Year rolls
around and we are straight back into work mode. Hopefully you all enjoyed some time
away from work with your family and friends and you are still sporting the remnants of a
summer tan!
Invariably Christmas holidays are the time that real estate decisions are made. As people
have time to talk without the pressures of work there are discussions around whether this
is the year to shift house, move into a particular school zone, trade up or trade down as
your particular needs change, maybe look at buying an investment property or perhaps you
have a job transfer looming. Whatever your reasons for change are this is the time of year where
we see the most activity in the market.
So with that in mind we suggest you make contact with your real estate agent early. Our team is back on board and
currently taking property bookings for our February and March Auction and Deadline Sale campaigns. We have a
number of marketing packages available that may suit your property or we can design an exclusive campaign tailor
made just for your property. Call any one of our team today to talk it through.

Water Safety Tips
Our newest agent, and long time surf lifesaver Eddie Spry
is passionate about water safety. Here he shares his tips
on rips, one of the biggest dangers at the beach; a strong
current of water running out to sea.
Take two minutes today to brush up on how to identity a
rip, and what to do if you get caught in one:
Features of a rip:
1. Discoloured or murky water caused by stirred up sand
2. A smoother surface with much smaller waves, larger
waves breaking on either side
3. Debris floating out to sea
4. A rippled look, when the water around is generally
calm

If you get caught in a rip:
1. Try not to panic
2. Don’t try to swim against the rip back to shore
3. Let the rip caryy you out until the current subsides
4. Then swim parallel to the beach for 30-40m before you
swim back to shore

Protester bowling along at 100
• By Caitlin Miles
TURNING 100 wasn’t going
to stop Jean Thompson playing
indoor bowls with friends and
family on Friday.
Mrs Thompson lives at Edith
Cavell Lifecare in Sumner and
celebrated her birthday playing
bowls and folk dancing.
Over the decades Mrs Thompson
has been a lifelong advocate
for peace and has never shirked
from protesting against what she
believed in, including the 1981
Springbok tour when she was in
her mid-60s.
“One time we were sitting
protesting the war (World War
2) and I refused to move, then
a police officer came along
and told me to move, I think
I did quickly after that,” Mrs
Thompson said.
Protesting against the war was
not the fashionable thing to do
in the 1940s, but that didn’t stop
Mrs Thompson.
That attitude changed with the
Vietnam War in the late 1960s
and early 70s, when her late
husband Noel also joined in the
protest.
She also campaigned to keep
New Zealand nuclear free.
“It was always important to
stand for peace,” she said.
Her daughter, Janet Thompson,
told Bay Harbour News it was
amazing that she was so strong
in her views as a young female
during World War 2.
“For her to stand up like that
it was pretty incredible,” Janet
Thompson said.
Mrs Thompson was 17 when
he met her husband, Noel, she
was short at 1.5m tall, while Noel
was much taller.
“My father used to laugh
because she had to stand on a
step to be able to kiss him good
night,” she said.
Mrs Thompson trained as a
teacher, working in Woolston
before she had three children,
Tom, Bruce and Janet.
Now she has turned 100, Mrs
Thompson still insists on enjoying
the sunshine when she can,
enjoying the warmth on her face,
she said.
STILL PLAYING: Jean Thompson’s 100 birthday celebrations
included her competitive streak coming out to play lawn

Yulia to sing live at Ferrymead
• By Bridget Rutherford
WHEN YULIA’S mother
passed away last year, the
musician never thought she
would sing again.
She said it broke her into a
million pieces.
But now, the multi-platinum,
best-selling artist is about to
record her new album in front
of a live audience in Ferrymead.
It will be her first major work
in New Zealand for 10 years because
she took a break to have
her two children.
The album will be recorded in
front of a live audience in two
sessions at Ferrymead’s Orange
Studios on February 3 and 4.
A hundred tickets will be
available for the two sessions.
“The exclusivity of this event
is comparable to an experience
of Bluff oysters – available to a
select few, first in, first served,”
she said.
The new album, which
follows Into the West and Montage,
will feature five of Yulia’s
original songs. as well as covers
of Lionel Richie and Leonard
Cohen.
She will be joined by guitarist
Hanafi Machirus, Michael
Russell on the trumpet, and
Michael Story on the bass.
Peter Rattray, who recorded
NEW: Yulia will record her new album in front of a live studio next week, which will be her first
major work in a decade.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
Yulia’s first self-produced album
while she was at school, will
master this one.
She said it would be different
to her previous music, but
thought her fans would like it.
“They are going to come out
and think years down the track,
I may not remember what she
sang, or what she said, but I
will always remember how she
made me feel.”
Yulia said the concerts would
be in part dedicated to her
mother, Galina, who died of
cancer in July.
“I feel it everyday.”
The five songs in the new
album were among about 12 she
wrote in November 2015.
She said it took about two
weeks to write all of them,
which were triggered when she
returned to Christchurch and
reunited with family.
Yulia was born in Russia and
emigrated to Christchurch with
her mother in 2002.
At 18-years-old she landed a
deal with Sony before becoming
the first female vocalist in the
country to have two back-toback

Agriculture provides a second
AT THE end of its first year,
19 people on community
sentences with the Department
of Corrections have become
the first to graduate from a
new agricultural skills training
programme.
They leave with qualifications
– and the chance to change their
lives. The ongoing project is a
partnership between Lincoln
University, Port Levy’s Koukourarata
Marae and Community
Corrections. It is intended to deliver
practical horticultural skills
with a focus on tikanga (Maori
way of doing things).
Corrections Canterbury lead
service manager Katey Gibling
said the intention was for offenders
to reconnect with the land
while gaining skills for employment
and a taste for achievement
and further training.
“Many of those we work with
are drifting, their lives have
become chaotic and without
purpose. Through this partnership,
and projects like this, we
help them to reconnect with their
culture and find a way forward,”
she said.
“Lincoln provide the qualification
and having them involved
has helped the offenders see
that this is a real qualification
and they are very capable of

doing something they had never
thought possible for them.”
The 12 graduates were presented
with certificates recognising
proficiency in chainsaw operation,
quad-bike driving, tractor
driving and the use of farming
implements.
For Brent, the first graduate of
the course, the programme has
been truly life changing.
“This programme was critical
to me getting the confidence to
have a go and get back in charge
of my life,” he said.
Last year, Brent was studying
horticulture, then when things
‘got stressful,’ he started to drink
heavily and found himself on a
community work sentence with a
drink driving conviction.
“When I committed my offences,
I wasn’t thinking ahead.
I was dealing with alcohol and
anxiety issues. I was losing my
friends, failing my studies. I was
in a dark place and ended up on
a community work sentence,” he
said.
“This programme was the first
big mental shift for me. I started
to plan forward again.
“I did the chainsaw course
thinking that it could make me
more employable and I thought
the quad bike training could also
lead to something. It gave me the
confidence to try again. I had
gained these skills and thought, ‘I
can do this’.”
Brent said that in addition to
starting to learn again, it was
the mentoring support of the
community work supervisor who
helped him see opportunity.
The project’s community
work supervisor Reuben Gent
said the partnership offered
new opportunities for people on
community work sentences to
access skills and qualifications
for employment. The tikanga
element helped offenders
reconnect with Maori principals
and culture.
“In addition to practical skills
and work aptitudes, the offenders
on the programme are gaining
confidence and the personal
skills and motivation to move on
with their lives,” Mr Gent said.

“Working alongside each
other provides time and opportunity
to talk about what
is going on in people’s lives.
Projects like this work at many
levels,” Mr Gent said.
Koukourarata Marae representative
Manaia Cunningham
said he was very proud
of the way the project was
progressing and the difference
it was making in the lives of
the people working on it.
“As a marae we are thrilled
to support our community
service whanau and we are
here to support each other,”
Mr Cunningham said.
“This education programme
has a Maori education framework
that ensures everyone’s
whakapapa is respected.”
For some of those in the project,
they will find the confidence
and passion to continue
their studies in a related field,
for example, horticulture or
forestry at Lincoln University.
Bill Martin, manager of the
biological husbandry unit, is
the university’s delivery partner
in the partnership.
“This programme delivers
skills that growers want,” Mr
Martin said.
“The people graduating from
STUCK IN: People on community sentences with
Corrections have been learning new agricultural skills,
such as proficiency with a chainsaw.
this programme have certificates
of proficiency in useful
skills.”
The programme offers a way
to engage in the community
and partner in the Koukourarata
gardens. While the
initial programme was about
rebuilding and shaping lives,
the partnership has taken a
new turn with the BHU engaging
in a two-year research
project to develop commercial
seed lines of organic taewa, or
Maori potatoes, and ensure
their availability into the
future.
“Through this project, we
will enable Koukourarata to
develop commercial scale
production of organic taewa,”
Mr Martin said.
The tikanga element of
the programme also sat well
with the university’s whenua
strategy and recognition of the
importance of engaging with
Maori and Pasifika and the
land.
“Between the three partners
we bring commitment, tikanga,
the labour, the science and
the will to make a difference to
the future of this food source
which is culturally significant
to New Zealand, and especially
to iwi,” Mr Martin said.
“We are helping people
reconnect with the earth,
traditional planting and horticultural
methods. It’s not just
seeds we are growing. It’s ideas
and futures.”
As for Brent, he felt very
positive about his future. He
had returned to Lincoln to
study landscape architecture
and had completed and passed
his first two papers.
“I stuffed up so much for so
long. I needed this, but I didn’t
know I needed it. It seems
strange to say, but it has been
a really important experience
for me,” he said.
“My sentence gave me purpose.
I came home feeling engaged
and positive again. Since
I have been on sentence, my
whole life has turned around
and Corrections has been a big
part of this.”

Rapaki Rd parking plan stalls
• By Caitlin Miles
A PLAN to ban parking on busy
Rapaki Rd has been put on hold
due to nearby residents’ concerns of
the impact on surrounding streets.
The road is the main access route
to Rapaki Track, which is popular
with walkers, runners and mountain
bikers – causing issues for
people who live on Rapaki Rd.
In November, the city council
proposed banning parking on
Rapaki Rd due to ongoing concern
from residents about safely accessing
the street and their driveways.
A parking ban on one side of
Erewhon Tce was also included in
the plan, because cars
are often parked on that
street if Rapaki Rd is full.
The proposal was meant
to go to the Spreydon-
Cashmere Community
Board next month for
approval, but that will be
put on hold.
Following the submissions
received, city council acting
head of transport Steffan Thomas
said the project has been put on
hold due to concerns raised over
how the surrounding roads will be
effected by the ban.
The city council received 93 submissions
on the plans, 66 supported
the idea, 24 were against and three
submissions were unclear.
Thirty of those submissions, both
for and against the parking restrictions,
were concerned over the
impact on the surrounding streets,
namely Vernon Tce.
One submitter opposed the plans
because Vernon Tce is “already
dangerously congested” and banning
parking on Rapaki Rd will
only add to the congestion.
A Vernon Tce resident said they
were “terrified that restrictions
proposed on Rapaki Rd will have
an extremely detrimental effect on
traffic, congestion, parking and
safety on Vernon Tce,” and opposed
the parking ban unless more parking
is provided elsewhere.
“As a result, the project
has been put on hold temporarily
to consider whether
any additional parking
controls should be proposed
further afield,” Mr Thomas
said.
City councillor Tim Scandrett
(left) said Vernon Tce
residents had a right to be
concerned.
“The ideas raised in the submissions
were very good ones and we
do need to look at the plan again
and see what we can do,” Cr Scandrett
said.
Mr Thomas said the next step
of the project will be to undertake
further consultation with affected
properties if changes are made to
the plan.
CONGESTED: The city council will reconsider a parking ban on busy Rapaki Rd until a
solution can be found.

I think a European overview of any size to suit is a fantastic
way to get a taste of many popular and amazing destinations
so that you get a good look around and see where you may
want to go back to! It depends how much time you have but
I think a good 10-15 day tour that takes in the Eiffel tower and
Sistine Chapel in Rome is a must on any first time trip.

Explore Sumner’s treasure
trove of pre-loved fashions
The holidays might be over, but there is still
plenty of summer to enjoy so why not boost
your summer wardrobe with quality preloved
clothes from Time & Time Again in
Sumner. This fascinating shop is always full of
surprises – with an ever-changing selection of
clothing for men and women and for children
from newborn to 14 years.
The business has been run by owner Ali for
two years now and she and her staff have a
strong sense of current fashion trends and
are happy to give their opinion and advice if
customers would like it.
“The atmosphere is very relaxed and we
like our customers to have fun while they’re
shopping – there’s no pressure to buy,” Ali
says.
Clothing ranges in sizes from 4-24, and all
the pre-loved clothing is of excellent quality.
Everything from everyday gear to retro
looks, designer brands to glamorous special
occasion wear can be found on the constantly
changing racks, with people supplying the
shop coming not just from Christchurch,
but also as far afield as Auckland, Blenheim
and the West Coast. Items bought in highend
stores overseas can also be found in this
treasure trove of fashion.
There is also an eclectic range of accessories
including shoes and sandals, boots, new and
pre-owned jewellery and new sunglasses.
“Tassel jewellery is a strong fashion item
this summer and we have the full range of
colours in the My Tassel range of jewellery,
which is brand-new and comes from
Kaikoura – we like to support New Zealand
designers,” Ali says.
The range of sunglasses includes the brand,
Happy to Sit on Your Face, and a wide choice
of replica branded sunglasses.
Time & Time Again also sells through
Trade Me and Facebook so they get the most
they can for the seller and the best deal for
the customer.
The income from the sale of clothing is
split 50/50 between the owner of the clothing
and Time & Time Again. Items that don’t sell
quickly are marked down, so there are always
bargains to be had, especially on the $5 rack.
Clothing that doesn’t sell within six weeks is
donated to charity organisations such as St
Vincent de Paul.
Time & Time Again, in the Village Mall,
Sumner, is open Monday to Thursday
9.30am-5.30pm, Friday 9.30am-6pm,
Saturday & Sunday 10am-5pm. Phone 326-

Principal
surprised
with signage
• By Caitlin Miles
SIGNS WARNING motorists of
St Anne’s Catholic School have
been installed on Ferry Rd.
The signs come after Southern
View highlighted concerns the
school had over pupil safety on
the busy road in Woolston.
School principal Dallas
Wichman said while he was
happy the signs had been
installed, 40km/h speed
limits still needed to be put in
urgently.
“The signs are good but after
a while people will forget about
them, at least something that is
flashing will get more attention
for just 10 minutes and that’s
what we need,” Mr Wichman
(left) said.
During the holidays, the city
council installed four school
signs at a cost of $1200.
City council acting head of
transport, Steffan Thomas, said
they were installed to make
people aware they are near a
school and children are about.
Mr Wichman said he didn’t
know the signs were going in.
He said he arrived at the school
and saw them there.
RIBBON CUTTING: Eric Devos and Janice Thornton (the cafe
managers), Paula Jameson, Lianne Dalziel and Jill Simmonds
(the granddaughter of original builder Charles Calvert) cut the
ribbon opening the cafe and historic building.
Sign of Kiwi back in business
AFTER NEARLY six years,
the Sign of the Kiwi reopened
on Monday.
The building at the top of
Dyers Pass Rd was closed following
the September 4, 2010,
earthquake. It suffered further
damage on February 22, 2011.
Before it was closed, it had a cafe
and shop.
More than $900,000 of work
was done strengthening the
building to 67 per cent of the
new building standard.
The Sign of the Takahe,
another protected heritage
building, was also closed for
repair work following the
February 2011 earthquake.
Repair work on the building
began in 2015 and it is set to
open next month.
City council heritage rebuild
programme manager Richie
Moyle said the Sign of the Kiwi
building was a piece of “old
world heritage.”
“The Sign of the Kiwi is a
treasure of national significance,”
he said.
Mayor Lianne Dalziel said it
was wonderful to see the building
reopen.
“Many who grew up in

Christchurch will have their
own memories of the Sign of the
Kiwi. A hundred years since it
was first built, it’s wonderful to
be able to welcome the Sign of
the Kiwi back,” Ms Dalziel said.
The Category 1 listed heritage
building was built in 1916 and
1917.
During its restoration and
repair work, contractors found
song lyrics scrawled on the
roof from an Eileen Barton
song, which was released in
the 1950s.
The message read: “If we had
of known you were coming we’d
of baked a cake (sic).”
City council heritage adviser
Gareth Wright said it was
likely the message was written
by tradespeople when they battened
the roof of the Sign of the
Kiwi in the 1950s.
Cashmere Ward city councillor
Tim Scandrett said it will be
exciting to have the cafe open
again so locals and visitors can
take in the views.
“It will be great to be able to sit
up there, enjoy an ice cream and
the weather, and just look at one
of the best views in Canterbury,”
Cr Scandrett said.

TWO LOCAL girls rank
among the top BMX riders
in the South Island after
strong results at a recent
meeting.
Moncks Bay’s Hollie
Tribble, 6, has only been
competing on her BMX
for 12 months, and is
ranked third in the South
Island in the UCI 7 class.
Meanwhile, Mt Pleasant’s
Juliet Freeman, 9, is ranked
third in the UCI 10 class.
Hollie and Juliet’s
rankings were gained in
the South Island BMX
champs on January 14 to
15 at the North Avon BMX
Club in Bexley Reserve.
Sumner’s Blake Steensen,
10, also competed in the
event and gained a ranking
of 12th in the UCI 11 class,
while Noah Cole, 9, also of
Sumner, is ranked fourth
in the UCI 10 class.
The riders’ rankings
allow them to compete
at the national
championships in Te
Awamutu in April.
If they qualify in the top
16 in their age group at the
national event, they will be
eligible to enter the BMX
World Championships.

Christina Freeman
said it was great to
see young boys and
girls getting out and
experiencing the sport.
“It was awesome to have

Hollie’s mother, Hayley

was now hooked on the

“She has been so excited

As from today, people shopping and
working in the Ferrymead area have a
new choice for fresh takeaway food with
the opening of the popular Pita Pit.
The outlet is located in the recently
completed complex at 987 Ferry Road,
and joins neighbouring businesses
Bayleys, House of Travel, ANZ bank,
ASB bank and Flight Centre. The
complex is adjacent to the Mitre 10
Mega drive-through.
Simon Scott, one of the franchisees that
have launched the business, says Pita
Pit, which was established in Canada,
has grown exponentially in New Zealand
over the last five or so years. This will
be the 11th Pita Pit in Christchurch, the
19th in the South Island, and one of 102
across the country.
“When the opportunity arose to set up in
Ferrymead we saw it as an ideal location
for Pita Pit, due to the significant growth
taking place there and also there are
very few Pita Pits on the eastern side of
the city,” Simon says. “The nearest ones
are at The Palms and South City.”
ADVERTORIAL
High-profile takeaway opens in Ferrymead
They are also confident it will be warmly
welcomed.
“Brand awareness of Pita Pit has risen
steadily since the first stores opened in
2010, so it’s now well known and well
patronised. We believe the people from
Ferrymead and the surrounding areas
will be very glad that it has finally arrived
in the area.”
Simon attributes the popularity of Pita Pit

Steel mesh class action lawsuit looms
• By Tom Doudney
ABOUT 3000 Canterbury
homeowners have been sent letters
inviting them to join a class action
lawsuit against three companies
which allegedly supplied substandard
steel mesh.
Auckland firm Adina Thorn
Lawyers has proposed taking the
lawsuit against the companies
which are also set to be prosecuted
by the Commerce Commission
this year under the Fair
Trading Act.
The steel mesh, alleged to be
below the national building
standard, is typically used in
concrete slab foundations and
driveways.
The letter stated that if the
companies were found guilty in
the Commerce Commission’s
prosecution they would face
fines but this was “very unlikely”
to deliver financial compensation
to affected home owners.
“Unless the owners of affected
properties take legal action, they
will likely face losses in terms of
resale values, as well as possible
complications with insurance
claims in the event of an earthquake,”
it said.
The three companies were not
named by the Commerce Commission
but one, Steel & Tube,
chose to identify itself. Steel &
SAFETY ISSUE: About 3000 Canterbury homeowners have
received letters inviting them to take part in a class action
lawsuit over sub-standard steel mesh allegedly being used in
their homes.
Tube has said the commission’s
decision in relation to itself was
about the application of testing
methodologies and mistaken use
of a testing laboratories logo on
test certificates, not the performance
characteristics
of its seismic
mesh.
Adina Thorn
Lawyers senior
associate Richard
Hart (left) said
homes which received
the letters had been chosen
based on having had a building
consent issued during the four
years that the non-complying
mesh was being supplied. He
acknowledged the firm did not
know whether it had been used in
any of the specific homes it sent
letters to.
The 3000 was just a subset of
potentially affected homes with
the total number “too difficult to
obtain at this stage,” Mr Hart said.
“This is a potentially serious
problem, we don’t want to alarm
people but on the other hand
it’s an opportunity for people to
perhaps find out a bit more and
find out whether or not [joining
the lawsuit] is worthwhile.”
Letters had been sent to new
Auckland subdivisions as well but
Mr Hart said Canterbury had the
potential to be worse affected due
to the possibility of future seismic
activity in the region.
Steel & Tube communications
manager Tanya Katterns said
Adina Thorn had not provided
information to support its claims
that resale values and insurance
claims could be affected.
“We believe our seismic mesh
ensures building safety,” she said.
Last year Ministry of Business
Innovation and Employment
general manager building system
performance Derek Baxter said
he was not concerned that the
mesh posed a safety risk for
newly-built houses and was confident
they would still comply
with the Building Code.
The Structural Engineering
Society has also said homeowners
should not be unnecessarily
concerned about the steel mesh
in their houses.
The city council referred questions
from The Star to the Commerce
Commission. A spokeswoman
for the commission said
it did not wish to comment on
the class action.

Optima tempts in shrinking market
• By Ross Kiddie
ELEGANCE, STYLE and
performance don’t always go
hand-in-hand in motor vehicle
manufacture.
But Korea’s Kia Corporation
has certainly done that with the
new mid-to-large sedan, the
Optima. Well, when I say new,
the Optima is mostly all new, it
has a new chassis and it is bigger
than before, but it looks little
different, it still has the same
sleek body style, and the latest
iteration builds on those values
I’ve just mentioned.
The Optima reeks of flair and
fashion, it sits low and it has a
body style that oozes desire, that
element is also carried over to the
interior, the entire car has had a
refresh with a renewed emphasis
on quality trim and materials.
There is little difference in price
either, in fact it could well be
cheaper than the outgoing model
depending on specification.
Limited specification comes
in at $48,990; for that money
the Optima comes well specced,
major features include satellite
navigation, radar cruise control,
full leather trim with heated
front seats with electric seat
adjustment, heated steering wheel
and paddle shift gearbox.
KIA OPTIMA LTD: Design flair oozes desire.
It’s fair to say, though, the
evaluation car was top spec, an
EX variant sits $3200 below that
and it would probably be my
choice given it doesn’t miss out
on much and it has cloth trim
which is my preference.
All that aside, both variants
get a 2.4-litre petrol engine. It’s
not a new unit, but I wouldn’t
be at all surprised if has had a
bit of a makeover in terms of
refinement, such is the quiet and
sophisticated way the Optima
drives, the engine is a major part
of the hushed way in which the
car travels. And as I eluded to in
my introduction, the Optima isn’t
short on performance.
Rated at 138kW and 241Nm,
the twin-camshaft, 16-valve
unit has plenty of urge. It drives
through the low and close ratios
of a six-speed automatic gearbox,
together the driveline promotes
swift acceleration and easy
momentum when it reaches the
driver’s desired speed.
It’s hard to detect how hard the
engine is working, for a big block
four-cylinder it is uncannily
subdued, and even under
acceleration sound is well isolated
from the cabin.
Unfortunately, my testing time
was cut a little short, an engine
maintenance warning light
flicked up on the dash during the
time the test car was in my care,
so I was very circumspect as to
how I drove the car, and how far.
That aside, the engine has a lot
of usable torque through the mid
range which means it is happy
slugging it out in the areas where
fuel use is minimised.
Kia claims an 8.3-litre per
100km (34mpg) combined cycle
average for the Optima and that
figure is quite realistic, during
my time with the test car the fuel
usage readout was constantly
listing around 9l/100km (31mpg)
along with a 6l/100km (47mpg)
figure available instantaneously
at 100km/h (engine speed
1700rpm).
The Optima cruises beautifully,
it has a plush ride and sound is
deadened. Kia has utilised a fully
independent, front stunt/rear
multiple link set-up. I like these
arrangements, the rear wheels
have freedom and springs and
shocks are allowed to do their job
unimpeded. Mid-corner bumps
are dealt to without deviation
off-line, while at the other end
steerage is direct and turn-in is
accurate.
Riding on high quality
• Price – Kia Optima Ltd,
$48,990
• Dimensions – Length,
4855mm; width, 1860mm;
height, 1465mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
front-wheel-drive,
2359cc, 138kW, 241Nm,
six-speed automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 8.8sec
• Fuel usage – 8.3l/100km
Michelin Pilot rubber (235/45
x 18in), the sport specification
tyres have strong grip properties
along with little sound. They are
also partly responsible for the
strong steering feel, the driver is
fully involved with the handling
process.
Creating a new car and
building on the success of its
predecessor is a complicated
and difficult process, but Kia has
always done that well, and the
Optima is a good example of how
sophisticated the modern sedan
has come to be.
It’s just a pity that the sedan
market in languishing in an
age where a buyer’s first choice
is generally a sport utility
vehicle.
Good cars like the Optima
deserve to do better.
Major roadworks on the

Miss Treadway & the Field of Stars
by Miranda Emmerson
How do you find a missing actress in a city where everyone’s
playing a role?
A mystery, a love-story and a darkly beguiling tale of secrets and
reinvention set in 1960s London. Soho, 1965.
In a tiny two-bed flat above a Turkish café on Neal Street lives
Anna Treadway, a young dresser at the Galaxy Theatre.
When the American actress Iolanthe Green disappears after an
evening’s performance at the Galaxy, the newspapers are wild with
speculation about her fate.
But as the news grows old and the case grows colder, it seems Anna is the only
person left determined to find out the truth.
Her search for the missing actress will take her into an England she did not know existed: an
England of jazz clubs and prison cells, backstreet doctors and seaside ghost towns, where
her carefully calibrated existence will be upended by violence but also, perhaps, by love.
For in order to uncover Iolanthe’s secrets, Anna is going to have to face up to a few of her
own...
Hidden Figures: The Untold Story of the
African American Women Who Helped
Win the Space Race
by Margot Lee Shetterly
SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE. New York Times Bestseller. Set amid the civil
rights movement, the never-before-told true story of NASA’s African-American female
mathematicians who played a crucial role in America’s space program. Before Neil
Armstrong walked on the moon, a group of professionals worked as ‘Human Computers’,
calculating the flight paths that would enable these historic achievements. Among these
were a coterie of bright, talented African-American women. Segregated from their white
counterparts, these ‘coloured computers’ used pencil and paper to write the equations that
would launch rockets, and astronauts, into space. Moving from World War II through NASA’s
golden age, touching on the civil rights era, the Space Race, the Cold War, and the women’s
rights movement, ‘Hidden Figures’ interweaves a rich history of mankind’s greatest adventure
with the intimate stories of five courageous women whose work forever changed the world.

Stretch
your way back to it
As we return to our normal daily routines after the holidays you
may begin to find the odd ache or pain creeping in.
This is a good indicator from our
bodies, that the holiday routine
was somewhat different. Perhaps
you sit a lot for work and you
were on the go or, you are normally more
active and the holiday break was more
sedentary. Either way the sooner you pay
attention to these signals the easier it will
be to deal with it.
So what can you do to ward off pain
and stiffness and boost your energy and
alertness? 10 simple stretching exercises
at your desk that will release tension from
head to toe. They take only a few minutes.
Set the alarm on your cell phone or
computer to go off every hour to remind
you it’s time to get up and stretch.
Just stand up and sit down - no hands
If you stand up and sit down (over and
over) without using your hands it can be a
challenge, do it while you’re on the phone;
no one will know.
Shrug your shoulders - to release the neck and shoulders
Inhale deeply and shrug your shoulders,
lifting them high up to your ears. Hold.
Release and drop. Repeat three times.
Loosen the hands with air circles
Clench both fists, stretching both hands
out in front of you.
Make circles in the air, first in one direction,
to the count of ten. Then reverse the circles.
Shake out the hands.
Point your fingers - good for hands, wrist, and forearms
Stretch your left hand out in front of you,
pointing fingers toward the floor. Use your
right hand to increase the stretch, pushing
your fingers down and toward the body.
Be gentle do the same with the other hand.
Now stretch your left hand out straight
in front, wrist bent, with fingers pointing
skyward. Use your right hand to increase
the stretch, pulling the fingers back toward
your body. Do the same on the other side.
Release the upper body with a torso twist
Inhale and as you exhale, turn to the right
and grab the back of your chair with your
right hand, and grab the arm of the chair
with your left. With eyes level, use your
grasp on the chair to help twist your torso
around as far to the back of the room as
possible. Hold the twist and let your eyes
continue the stretch see how far around
the room you can peer. Slowly come back
to facing forward. Repeat on the other side.
Do leg extensions
Grab the seat of your chair to brace yourself
and extend your legs straight out in front of
you so they are parallel to the floor.Flex and
point your toes five times. Release. Repeat.
Stretch your back with a “big hug”
Hug your body, placing the right hand on
your left shoulder and the left hand on your
right shoulder. Breathe in and out, releasing
the area between your shoulder blades.
Cross your arms - for the shoulders and upper back
Extend one arm out straight in front of you.
With the other hand, grab the elbow of the
outstretched arm and pull it across your
chest, stretching your shoulder and upper
back muscles. Hold. Release. Stretch out the
other arm in front of you - repeat.
Stretch your back and shoulders with a “leg hug”
Sit on the edge of your chair (if it has
wheels, wedge the chair against the desk or
wall to make sure it does not roll). Put your
feet together, flat on the floor.
Lean over, chest to knees, letting your arms
dangle loosely to the floor. Release your
neck. Now bring your hands behind your
legs, right hand grasping left wrist, forearm
(or elbow if you can reach that far), left hand
grasping the right. Feel the stretch in your
back, shoulders and neck. Hold. Release
your hands to the floor again. Repeat three
times or as often as it feels good.
Look up to release upper body
Sit up tall in your chair, or stand up. Stretch
your arms overhead and interlock your
fingers. Turn the palms to the ceiling as
you lift your chin up, tilt your head back,
and gaze up at the ceiling, too. Inhale,
exhale, release.

REAL ESTATE
A Golden Opportunity
125 Main Road, Governors Bay
From $700,000
3 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom | 2 Car Garaging | 2023m 2 section - Listing No. 3502
NOTE: The owners have just had a subdivision report completed by a Registered
Survey Company, a Geotechnical Report completed by Registered Consulting
Engineers and a subdivision application has been submitted to council. This is
currently in the approval process and applies for two separate titles to be issued for
the property. Title 1 - House on 1023m 2 and Title 2 - Separate section of 1000m 2 .
On a 2023m 2 section which occupies a prime position right in the heart of the bay. Enjoy
the space and the stunning harbour / hill views. Last on the market in 1948, this was home
to one of our much loved local identities. The comfortable family home offers three double
bedrooms and open plan living opening to wrap-around verandah. You will be super cosy
in winter with the Kent Duo wood-burner and heat-pump, plus a still operational “chippy”
in the kitchen. There is easy, sealed access to a detached double garage plus a single
carport and woodshed. This is a golden opportunity to own a good chunk of the bay right
at its centre. Spread out and keep the whole half acre (2023m 2 )for yourself, develop into
a beautiful garden or just keep as real country space for the kids to romp. For a gardener
it is a blank canvas, an additional way to enhance the future value of this property.
For a private viewing, please contact Min of Min Sarginson Real Estate (Licensed

Properties in this location are tightly held and are rarely becoming available and it is almost impossible
to find an original character home let alone on Sumner’s waterfront. Positioned right opposite Cave Rock,
Scarborough and Sumner Beaches and boasting one of the few homes on the Esplanade with rear access and
views in both directions. Views encapsulate Scarborough Heads sweeping over Sumner Beach and right along
the coastline to the Kaikoura Ranges and the Southern Alps. Built 100 years ago when craftsmanship
was valued this graceful character home has great street appeal, good bones and untapped potential.
