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. 

Lifelong

protester 

turns 100 

Jean Thompson has 

protested against World 

War 2, the Vietnam War, 

the 1981 Springbok tour 

and battled to keep 

New Zealand nuclearfree. 

She has now 

notched up another 

milestone.

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.

more information. 

We said: 

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. 


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

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.

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 

bowls. 


PROTEST: Mrs Thompson was passionate about protesting against the 1981 Springbok Tour and 

numerous wars.

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. 


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 

MAKING A DIFFERENCE: Lincoln University’s biological husbandry unit manager Bill Martin (left), 

Brent, and Corrections senior community work supervisors Tom Piahana and Reuben Gent. 

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.

FISHERMAN’S 

WHARF 

“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 


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 


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 

GUESTS: Many people went along to the opening, hoping to 

be the first inside for a morning tea and to look at the work 

done. 


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.

North Avon BMX Club 

secretary and junior coach 

Christina Freeman 

said it was great to 

see young boys and 

girls getting out and 

experiencing the sport. 

“It was awesome to have 

it at our own track,” she 

said. 

Hollie’s mother, Hayley 

Tribble, said her daughter 

was now hooked on the 

sport. 

“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 

to the freshness of the food, making it a 

healthy option, the fact that customers 

can choose from a wide range of food 

items and they can see the food in front 

of them. 

“We also have a gluten free option, 

which has been very popular in 

Christchurch. We believe the new Pita 

Pit will attract Ferrymead shoppers and 

staff from the surrounding businesses, 

as well as people who live locally and as 

far as Sumner and Scarborough, who 

regularly pass by,” Simon says. 

Pita Pit Ferrymead will be open seven 

days a week from 9am to 8pm, with offstreet 

car parking available.

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.

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.

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. 

Varicose Vein Treatment

No surgery, no scars, no stitches. No time off work 

- continue normal daily activities. An affiliated provider to 

Southern Cross Health Society (medical necessity

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.

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.
