Baby born as fires raged
Tiny Thea
arrives
after family
evacuates
• By Kurt Bayer
AS GOVERNORS Bay resident
Luke Thomas rushed his
heavily-pregnant wife Jessica to
hospital, leaping flames licked
the scrub and trees above their
harbour-side home.
In the midst of the raging
inferno enveloping the Port
Hills, which has claimed the life
of a decorated war hero, homes,
and hundreds of hectares, came
a new life.
Just hours after the Thomas
family evacuated from their
fire-threatened home, tiny baby
Thea made her arrival in the
world – a week early.
“It’s kind of typical. If it was
going to happen, it was going to
happen on the night the fire beat
down and people were evacuated,”
Luke said.
Expecting their first child, the
Thomas family had watched the
smoke from the fires billow over
the summit above their home
since last Monday night.
At about 11pm on Tuesday,
they checked the fires and decided
it was safe to go to bed.

As they drove away, the threat
became even clearer.
“It was crazy. As we drove
around the hill, you could see
this huge, glowing orange in the
night sky right behind our house.
It was pretty upsetting,” Luke
said.
They drove to a friend’s house
in Christchurch to drop the pets
off. A midwife met them there
who, after a quick check, told
them to get to Christchurch
Women’s Hospital immediately.
At 6.47am last Wednesday,
weighing 7lb 1oz, baby Thea was
born.
“Mum and baby are doing
great and the labour went perfectly.
It was very quick, especially
for a first birth,” Luke said.
“I’m sure it was sped up by the
situation of getting out.
“We will always remember the
day Thea was born.”

HATS OFF to all of the bay
firefighters involved in last week’s
savage Port Hills blaze.
They did a fantastic job against
extreme odds, and their magnificent
efforts almost certainly saved
many more properties from being
destroyed.
If the fire had not have been
stopped on top of the Port Hills
who knows what carnage it could
have caused if it was able to sweep
down into Governors Bay, Westmorland,
on the city side, and
beyond.
The flammable materials and
vehicles (with petrol) in residential
areas combined with tinder
dry vegetation would have turned
the blaze into an unimaginable
fire storm.
We cover their deeds on pages
4-5 today.
But the message from last
week’s fires is that we have to be
super careful for the rest of the
summer. – Barry Clarke

Sir Miles stayed put
AS FIRE spread down the hills
above his beloved historic Ohinetahi
homestead and gardens, Sir Miles
Warren wasn’t going anywhere.
About 107 residents on the other
side of Governors Bay, Teddington
Rd, were evacuated at 3am on
Wednesday.
That order hadn’t extended to
the homestead and gardens, but if
the call had come, Sir Miles said he
wouldn’t have heeded it.
If the house was to go down, he
would “go down with it,” he said.
“My plan was to either run to the
sea or jump in my pool.”
Yesterday morning he was in the
garden at the Ohinetahi homestead,
where the plants were coated in
falling ash from the fires burning
300-400m away. The homestead,
a category one heritage building,
was built in the 1860s and some
of the roses growing in the garden
were planted in the 1870s. Sir Miles,
a prominent architect, has lived
there for 41 years, having restored
the homestead and developed an
extensive award-winning garden.
He restored the house and
designed and created the gardens
with his sister, artist Pauline
Trengrove. He gifted the property
in 2012 to be kept in a trust for the
public.
“If this place was to burn, I would
just lose my life’s work,” he said.

Tuesday, it had looked like there was
just a small fire at the top of the hill,
but by the morning he estimated the
flames had moved to within 400m
of the property.
“I thought all was well, so I went
to bed and slept easy,” he said.
But when he woke, the fire had
reached his neighbour’s sheds and
he could see smoke rising through
the trees.
“It’s just quite spooky to see the
smoke rising up around my property.”
Sir Miles wanted to thank firefighters
and helicopter pilots for
their efforts.

BAY HARBOUR firefighters are
being praised after a hard week.
Brigades from across the district
helped to fight the Port Hills
blaze last week which scorched
2075ha, destroyed nine houses
and damaged two more.
Governors Bay Volunteer Fire
Brigade chief fire officer Andrew
Norris said he had nothing but
respect for all the firefighters
who worked tirelessly over the
past week.
He said the firefighters had
demanding days and nights, rotating
on six to eight-hour shifts.
He said he was incredibly
proud of the firefighters.
“The guys went above and beyond
of what was asked of them.”
Mr Norris said the firefighters
were to be praised as most were
operating on a few hour’s sleep.
He said it was one of the most
intense weeks of his firefighting
career and hopes it will be some
time before he experiences anything
like it again.
He said the dedication by the
firefighters was incredible with
most taking time off from their
day jobs to fight the fire.
Lyttelton Volunteer Fire Brigade
chief fire officer Mark Buckley
was just as proud of his team

who were always ready to help.
He said his firefighters were
rotated on five-hour shifts and
were “keen as mustard” when
their shift was next on.
Mr Buckley said he had to
make sure his firefighters were
not wearing themselves out and
had to force some of them to
have a rest.
“They were often disappointed
if they had not been assigned for
the next shift as they wanted to
get out and fight the fire.
“I would scratch my head
and wonder where they got the
energy from,” he said.
Mr Buckley also wanted to
celebrate the effort from the
community and local businesses
who donated an abundance of
food and drink.
“When you are busy fighting
the fire you don’t have time to
think about getting food and water
for the firefighters so we were
really glad the community were
helping us on that front.”
He said every firefighter in Bay
Harbour deserved praise as they
all came together and worked
well with each other.

Future unknown for skate ramp
• By Noah Graham
IT COULD be months before
Sumner has another skate ramp.
Sumner Green and Skate
Group member Kimberly
Mossman is disappointed no
timeframe has been given for the
return of the skate ramp which
was located at 26 Nayland St.
The skate ramp was closed
on February 10 when the city
council ran noise tests and found
it failed to comply with city plan
noise standards.
Mrs Mossman said although
they received support from
Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board, it was likely
to take months to settle on a
long-term place for the skate
ramp and ensure it is properly
soundproofed.
She said it would be great to
have the skate ramp up and
running as soon as possible so
the community can use it. But
she is also focused on finding a
permanent site for a fully-fledged
skatepark and grass area.
Mrs Mossman said the group
will continue to vie for the
skate ramp’s previous site at 26
Nayland St, which she hoped
will be the permanent location.
She said the community needs
the skate ramp, particularly
teenagers and children, who
need something stable they can
use.
Community board member
Sara Templeton said it had
agreed to find a longer-term site
for the temporary ramp and
understand Mrs Mossman’s
need for a dedicated skatepark
site.
“The ramp has been
an amazing asset for the
community, but is only
temporary, so I’m also keen
to start discussions about a
permanent skatepark for the
area.
“It’s been a need for many
years and if we’re serious about
valuing our youth, then we
should provide facilities for
them and involve them in the
process,” she said.
CLOSED: It could be months until Sumner has another skate
ramp.
Countdown to Selwyn’s big music day out
• By Tom Doudney
THE LINCOLN Domain is
about to be transformed from
a sleepy sports and recreation
ground to a music showpiece.
With Selwyn’s biggest ever
music festival just around the
corner on March 4, preparation
will begin on Monday, almost a
week before the first band takes
the stage.
The show features big name
Kiwi acts, including Mi-Sex,
Dragon, The Jordan Luck Band,
Annie Crummer, Margaret
Urlich, Debbie Harwood, Sharon
O’Neill and Jason Kerrison, as
well as many other artists.
Promoter David Parlane said
bringing everything together for
the day was a bit like organising
an army.
“You’ve got to get everybody in
at the right time and in the right
spot.”
The first trucks will roll in on
Monday, putting the 20m by 15m
wide stage in place, with more
work on fully assembling it and
putting up the marquees to take
place over the next two days.
About 1km of fencing, 70
portaloos, 24 urinals and four
6.1m beverage chillers will also
be installed at the ground during
the week.
There will be 28 food vendors,
more than 125 festival staff and
of course 62 artists on stage.
“We hope to be in concertprepared
mode by about 8am on
the Friday morning so if there is
anything that needs to be fixed
we have got all day to figure it
out,” Mr Parlane said.
The first big name artist
expected to arrive in Lincoln
will be Kerrison on March 2,
with most of the others getting
in on March 3. The ground has
capacity for 10,000 people. Mr
Parlane said ticket sales had been
strong but there were still some
available from Ticketek. While
special bus passes between
Christchurch and the show were
almost sold out, there is a plan
to increase the number of public
buses on the day.

Donna Henderson
Champion surfer, mother and
Taylors Mistake resident
Donna Henderson is
back riding the Sumner
swells after winning gold
at the over 30s national
surfing championships.
Noah Graham spoke to
her about success and
family
What was it like winning the
national surfing championship?
It was good. I was a last
minute entry. I basically went
to Auckland to support my
daughter and my stepdaughter.
I told them that if they entered
the nationals, I would too. I
was entered in the longboard
and got through my semi, got
through to the final and I was
all geared up for that. I’d done
about two weeks of training and
then the judges and the officials
asked if I would enter the senior
women’s over 30s. I said no, I’m
actually saving my energy for
the longboard final. They pretty
much talked me in to it. I hadn’t
been riding my shortboard for
probably a couple of months.
I borrowed a board, I had 30
minutes to prepare. I paddled
out and ended up getting a really

good wave first up and I ended
up winning. It was a bit of a
surprise.
Why did they ask you to
compete in the over 30s?
Usually in the women’s senior
division, there isn’t a lot of us
who turn up to the competition.
There’s a lot of women and older
women in the country who surf,
but there’s not very many who
compete. What region they hold
the nationals in always depends
on how many competitions they
have. I hadn’t entered purely
on the fact I was entering on a
longboard and I’ve only got so
much energy. I made it to the
final and lo and behold they
were waving the Canterbury flag
and I ended up winning. First
national title at 42 is pretty good.
How different is it on a
longboard compared to a
shortboard?
It is quite different. The
longboard they judge you on old
school and new school moves
like walking the board and
nose-riding, as well throwing
the board around. It’s a selection
of different moves in the critical
part of the waves, so the more
risky you go, the more moves
you try to do on the wave, the
more points you get. I ended up
getting fourth on the longboard
and I had a pretty abysmal final
to be fair. The other women
surfed really well, they were all
less than half my age though.
I was certainly the oldest in
the longboard final. But the
shortboard competition, it’s a
totally different kettle of fish.
You’ve got to paddle a bit harder,
they’re thinner, shorter, less
volume. So you can actually do
a lot more on the waves on a
shortboard than on a longboard.
How long had it been
since you used your
shortboard?
I probably hadn’t surfed on
my shortboard in a couple of
months. I’d been really busy at
surf school. When I got through
to the finals it was fantastic.
What did winning mean to
you?
Showing young girls who
are too scared to compete what
can be done – there’s a real fear
around competition and making
a fool of yourself in front of
people.

LINCOLN’S FINEST SUBDIVISION
Live in Lincoln
nine bands. one day. www.selwynsounds.co.nz
But at the end of the day, if
a 42-year-old woman from
Christchurch can go and enter
the nationals at the last minute
and win it, then it is really good,
positive stuff for all the young
people. Just give it a go because
you never know what can
happen.
How did you start your career
as a surf coach and what made
you want to do it?
I’ve always surfed since my
early 20s. Since I was about 24 or
25, I started surfing at Sumner
on a longboard and then I progressively
got better and started
riding smaller boards. Surfing
is just really good for the mind,
body and soul. It’s just a really
good all-round experience. I was
working within the surf industry
as a sales agent, so I did that
for many years and facilitated
the Roxy surf gyms where, for
four years at Sumner beach, we
taught probably hundreds, if
not thousands, of girls to surf.
From there, I ended up having
children and my kids started getting
into surfing. A lot of parents
were asking at school if I would
teach them how to surf. I gave
it some thought and went and
did the training and the courses
and decided that starting a surf
school in Sumner would be a
great idea. There seemed to be
plenty of room to concentrate on
teaching women and little kids
how to surf. So that was my target
market. We do one-on-one
surfing with women, or we do
small groups of women so they
can feel really empowered to
give it a go. You over come a lot
of fears if you’re trying surfing,
you’ve got to get into this tight
wetsuit for a start, so there’s all
of those body-conscious issues. It
is quite hard to paddle the board
and manoeuvre the board and
stand up on the board and ride
the wave, but once you’ve ridden
the wave it’s a really good buzz.
That’s pretty much what we’re
selling. We get a lot of clients
who are my age or older. They’ve
always wanted to give surfing
a go. We have a lot of groups of
mums and wives. We don’t just
see people once – they usually
come back for a six to 10-week
programme.
Could you ever live anywhere
that wasn’t close to the sea?
No. I couldn’t. I love the
mountains, but I always feel after
a few days, I need to get back to
the ocean.
Could you tell me a bit about
your family?
LIFE: Donna Henderson spends most of her day riding the
local waves or teaching others how to master them.
I’ve got three children. Ava is
11, Travis is seven, and George
is nine. All my kids surf. They
all do a surf lesson in my school
once a week. That’s pretty cool.
Ava is competing at a national
level, which is great. She’s part of
a gang of Sumner girls; we call
them grommets. It’s a term used
for younger surfers. So there’s a
really good gang of young surfers
from eight to 15 in Sumner. A lot
of them free surf. They surf after
school, before school and during
the weekends. That’s pretty
much how she’s got as good as
she has. George is our tech guy
at home. He’s a great little surfer
as well. He’s into music and art.
George is a normal nine year-old
kid. Travis, the seven-year-old,
is right into his surfing. He’s just
got a pointy board for Christmas.
They’re all just surfing out
at Sumner beach and at Taylors
and having a great time.
Is there anything other than
surfing you like to do?
I love snowboarding in the
winter. My other hobby is my
magazine called Curl mag, which
is a women’s surfing magazine.
We publish that quarterly. It’s
just a women’s lifestyle magazine
that empowers girls to get out
there and give surfing a go. We
have a lot of travel stories and
stories about women riding big
waves and having fun at the
beach. That’s pretty much what
I do in winter. It’s a big project. I
do a little bit of work constantly.
It’s a good magazine and a nice
read for teenage kids to get them
out of the malls and get them
into the water. It’s a bit of a girls
can do anything type of mag.
It’s a lot of work but it is a lot of
fun. Once it gets printed and
the finished product comes out,
we all breathe. There’s so much
happening in the world with
women’s surfing and our athletes
are getting better and better.

Market Comment with Craig Prier
Have you seen our billboard? It’s positioned
in Ferrymead and to be honest, we’re quite
proud of it. For a long time now we have
been involved in local sponsorship and
events throughout the Bay Harbour area,
particularly Ferrymead to Sumner as
well as Lyttelton and Bays. It just
makes sense to give back to the
community we primarily operate in.

Why do we auction onsite?
Ross Cooper
027 432 4438
What better way to get a gauge of the market than an
onsite auction. As an auction-focused company we
conduct a lot of them onsite. It just makes sense to us
for a buyer to actually see what they are bidding for, who
their potential competition may be, as well as knowing that
the property on offer is not part of another 10 properties
being put up one after the other. Don’t get me wrong,
there are certainly occasions when a property auction is
better suited to an offsite location. Perhaps the property
is tenanted, or access may be difficult, but on the whole,
most of our auctions are onsite. From your point of view,
an onsite auction gives you the chance to really get a feel
for the market and may even help you determine the value
of your property or if selling by auction is the right method
of sale for you. As a buyer, by going to other auctions
you can also pick up great tips on bidding strategies and
will help with your confidence if perhaps you have an
opportunity to bid for a property in the future.

Selwyn Sounds
Hear tracks from new Mi-Sex album live
• By Tom Doudney
IF KIWI rock heavyweights
Mi-Sex needed any validation
for their decision to record their
first new album in 33 years, the
live crowds’ reaction gave it to
them.
The band’s fith album Not
From Here was released in September
with vocalist Steve Balbi
replacing original singer Steve
Gilpin, who died in 1991.
Mi-Sex will co-headline the
Selwyn Sounds concert in Lincoln
on March 4 with Dragon.
Other big acts will include The
Jordan Luck Band, Annie Crummer,
Margaret Urlich, Debbie
Harwood, Sharon O’Neill and
Jason Kerrison.
Keyboardist Murray Burns
said the band had been playing a
mix of old and new material on
their recent North Island tour
with The Feelers and Dragon.
“You could tell that some of
the younger members of the
crowd knew a few of our songs
like Computer Games and Blue
Day but they didn’t really know
the other ones,” Burns said.
“What was very rewarding
for us was that an audience that
weren’t really familiar with our
old and new material responded
in some ways stronger to our
newer stuff than our older stuff.
That made the whole experience
of recording new songs feel really
worthwhile to us.”
Ater so long without writing
music together, Burns found
working on new material to be
surprisingly easy.
“To jump in a room with
someone you have never written
a song with, with Steve Balbi,
was an amazing experience. Steve
is a fantastic songwriter and
lyricist and the basic embryos of
those songs came together in a
matter of minutes.”
Burns said the band had been
having a great time since they
started touring again in 2011.
“We are treating Mi-Sex more
as an experience again ater 30
years of not playing,” he said.
“We are not feeling that we are
going to go out and conquer the
world, we are not 21-years-old
any more, but we are having a
really good time playing and we
also had a really good time making
this record.”
When they’re not touring, the
band members live far apart – in
Christchurch, Auckland, Sydney
and, in Burns’ case, Byron Bay,
New South Wales.
“We decide on set lists and
things like that when we meet at
airports quite oten,” he said.
Burns produces music for
young bands from his own studio
but aside from that, doesn’t
listen to much new music.
“I live in the countryside and I
quite enjoy just the empty space
because music is a big part of my
life. I will be in the studio today
mixing for five or six hours and
when I come out of the studio
I mostly drive around with the
windows down and don’t listen
to much music,” he said.
“I listen to the birds in the
trees, actually, and the wind.”
THEY’RE BACK:
Mi-Sex are
touring again
after putting out
their first new
album in 33
years. The band
say recording
material with
new singer Steve
Balbi (below, far
left), was an easy
process.
•Selwyn Sounds will
be held on March 4,
from 11.30am-8.30pm. Tickets
can be purchased via
Ticketek and buyers will be
able to pre-purchase a return
bus ride between pickup

SCHOOLS
TALENT: Our Lady Star of the Sea pupils (from left) Nico
Heather, Nate Lilley, Molly Walker and Katie Hygate are
showing off their creative side which will be built on this year
with the new arts and drama programme.
Bid to get children
into arts and drama
• By Noah Graham
OUR LADY Star of the Sea
School is encouraging its pupils
to get more involved in the arts
and drama by having two sessions
each week dedicated to them.
Principal John Kane said the
school-wide initiative will ensure
all pupils will have more time to
stretch their creative side.
Mr Kane said the pupils will
have the opportunity to participate
in dance and song writing
classes as well as learn to play
instruments, act and showcase
their creative side.
He said the lessons will
happen during school hours with
speciality teachers to provide
the pupils with a more diverse
curriculum.
The school should dedicate
time to the arts because a lot of
the pupils were learning to dance
or play an instrument outside of
school, Mr Kane said.
“If they are learning about the
arts anyway, we might as well
have it as a focus for the school.”
Mr Kane said teachers and parents
he had spoken to completely
supported their new shift.

DIAMOND HARBOUR School
pupils are preparing a feast for
the community this weekend, all
from locally-sourced food.
The first ever Harbour Grown
Dinner will be made by year 6, 7
and 8 pupils, who will cut, mix
and cook for more than 60 residents
at the Diamond Harbour
Rugby Club on Saturday night.
Diamond Harbour School
kitchen specialist and organiser
Maria Lee has worked with the
students to design the menu for
the night.
She said the idea was simple
and inspired by the Lyttelton
restaurant, Roots.
Those who wanted to be
involved had to hand in 500g of
produce they had sourced locally,
along with a donation, she said.
The pupils will create the menu
this week and start preparing the
food for Saturday night.
Ms Lee said on the day she
will have a team preparing for
the evening and then another
team will come in to cook, serve
and wait on the guests.
The dinner was designed so
pupils could be responsible and

“This is tapping into the
things the kids are interested in
themselves and then they bring it
together for everyone that wants
to be involved.”
The money received from the
dinner will be invested in
the school’s Te Mahi Kai programme
which teaches pupils a
range of gardening and cooking
skills.
She said the pupils are
looking forward to the day
and have enjoyed preparing for
it.

National List
MP Nuk Korako
talks about
the impact the
Port Hills blaze
has had on the
community
Last Monday,
when writing the article for this
column, I was planning to talk
about National’s Safer Communities
package, and the boost
to police numbers. Around the
same time, I heard that fire crews
had been called out to scrub fires
in the Port Hills. Like many Port
Hills residents, I had very little
idea what was to unfold over the
next few days.
I was grateful to be given leave
from most of my responsibilities
in Wellington, and spent my time
in the community, including at
the Governors Bay fire station,
the Rural Fire Command Centre
in Rolleston, and the welfare
centre at Te Hapua in Halswell. I
was pleased to be able to help out
where I could, particularly as a
point of contact for people who
didn’t know where to turn for
help or information.
As I write this on Monday
afternoon, the fire is contained,
with fire crews and pilots involved
in ongoing work to monitor
the area.
The fire covered 2075ha and
a significant number of properties
are affected, including 14
properties where homes or other
structures have been damaged or
destroyed.
Our thoughts are with those
families who will be facing the
reality of finding new homes,
replacing everything that was lost
in the fires, and getting life back
to normal.
Family, colleagues and friends
of Steve Askin are mourning
his loss. I trust that they will
find some comfort in the service
that Mr Askin gave his country
and his city, as an SAS soldier
decorated for his gallantry, and
as a pilot who spent many hours
protecting his community by
fighting fires.
I continue to ensure that
those affected have the help and
support they need. Then my
focus will turn to ensuring we
have answers to the questions
I am receiving from Port Hills
residents. I will be closely
watching the Government’s
review of our Civil Defence
response, which happens after
every significant event.
This has been an awful week for
our community and our hearts
go out to all affected by the fires.
I congratulate our brave crews
both on the ground and in the air
for their tireless work in getting
the fires under control and assisting
residents.
Drumming up culture
• By Noah Graham
THE LITTLE River community
will feel the pounding of drums
and rhythms to dance to this
weekend.
The sixth annual Drum
Festival will feature a variety
of performances from different
cultures at the Little River
Campground on Saturday and
Sunday.
Cultural drum groups from
Africa, Asia, the Middle East
and South America will all be
performing at the two-day event
with dance workshops and a
concert from Grammy award
winner Chris Berry.
Drum Festival organiser
Marcus Puentener said the event
is a great family-friendly event
for all to enjoy.
He said there was something
about the festival with
performances being played
underneath two walnut trees and
next to the Okuti River.
“It is nice and very relaxing to
come to.”
Mr Puentener said there
was a chance for those at the
workshops to have a go and try
performing themselves, which
everyone enjoyed.
However, he said people need
to prepare for varying weather
conditions.

Whiteside aims to keep
his lead in surf series
• By Noah Graham
REDCLIFFS SURFER Harrison
Whiteside is hoping to hold on to
top spot in the Billabong Grom
Series this weekend.
Whiteside, 19, will compete in
the second round of the series at
Piha on Saturday and Sunday.
The Canterbury University
student secured the lead in the
series when he bounced back
from a tough start in Whangamata
earlier this month.
Whiteside had a bad start in
the first round of the series as he
struggled to ride the right wave.
However, he persevered and
found the perfect wave and
managed to capitalise on it to
perform an air reverse that
secured him 9.17 points to bring
him up to the series-leading total
of 14.47.
“It feels pretty good . . . I was
just trying to find an air section
toward the end of the heat because
I knew I needed a big score
to win,” Whiteside said.
Whiteside said in each heat the
surfers have the option to ride
12 waves and take their two best
scores from the surf.
In spite of his rough start, the
conditions were similar to those
he surfs in Christchurch, which
was good, as he has been surfing
them for almost nine years.
IN STYLE: Harrison Whiteside, 19, enjoyed the waves in
Whangamata in the first round of the Billabong Grom Series.

Whiteside said he faces tough
opponents in the series and it
will be no easy feat to retain his
spot in the next round. But he is
looking forward to the challenge.
Whiteside is only two points
ahead of Taranaki surfer Daniel
Furr, who is on his tail heading
into the second round.
If he can continue the momentum,
Whiteside will be aiming
to keep his lead for the final title
surf in Mt Maunganui on March
11 and 12.

GREAT BOWLING followed
by an aggressive knock gave
Sumner captain Dan Vann his
best day in club cricket yet.
Vann ripped through Lancaster
Park’s batting order at St
Leonards Park with his in swingers
to bag himself five for 47 off
15.2 overs.
The Sumner senior A side took
advantage of a green pitch and
overcast conditions to dominate
Lancaster Park in the first day
of their two-day match on Saturday.
Vann said he just hit the right
line and length on the grassy
pitch and was backed up well by
the other bowlers. He then took
the attack to the bowlers scoring
111 off 74 deliveries.
At the end of the first day,
Lancaster Park trailed by 118
runs with nine wickets left in
their second innings. However,
the second day was postponed
until next Saturday due to bad
weather.
Sumner won the toss and
chose to bowl first on the St
Leonard’s pitch and dismissed
Lancaster Park for 140 in the
49th over. Vann was supported
well by Jonathan Percasky who
claimed an economical three

wickets for 15 runs off 10 overs.
Vann, who is Sumner’s captain,
followed his five wickets
up with a quick century to put
Sumner in charge, declaring on
268/8. Chris Wilson was the only
other Sumner batsman to show
form as he hit 53 from 47 balls.
Sumner had 20 minutes on the
clock to bowl against the Lancaster
Park openers and Johnny
Beverage came through as he
picked up the wicket of Eddie
Templeton in the fourth over.
Lancaster Park ended the day
on 10 runs for one wicket, trailing
by 118 runs.

Theatre/Arts
New style of show business
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
SOPHIE PETERSEN and
Keeneth Love have spotted a gap
in the city’s arts’ market to create
smaller – but “game-changing”
– theatre.
Willing to take a risk, the two
artists have set up their own
theatre company in a bid to bring
more diversity to the industry.
Having just graduated from
the National Academy of Singing
and Dramatic Art, the artists
want to prove that smaller scale
productions are financially viable
in Christchurch.
“We feel the city is the right
place . . . we just want to find a
space where we can not only create
work that is unique, but also
create work for actors as well,”
Love, 27, said.
The pair have set up So Keen
Productions to bring theatre
to the city in a sustainable way
through small-cast productions.
They both wanted to set up
their own company, and the
idea for the new enterprise was
formed at the end of last year
when the two realised they had
the same mindset.
“We spoke the same language
almost all the time and then,
NEW EDGE: Keeneth Love and Sophie Petersen are the faces behind a new theatre company
aiming to bring more diversity to the city.
PHOTO: CHELSEA SHEEHAN-GAIGER
over the new year, we suddenly
realised there was no point in
us doing different things,” Love
said.
Petersen, 21, who lives in
Sumner, said for a start the
company will stage musical
theatre and plays, run education
programmes for primary-aged
children and workshops for
aspiring performers.
But the pair want to keep their
programme broad and may
branch out into different mediums
such as film.
“We are trying to stay away
from the mainstream shows that
would generally be shown at bigger
theatre companies,” Petersen
said.
While she loved productions
from the city’s larger companies,
such as Showbiz Christchurch
and The Court Theatre, she
hopes their organisation will
bring a “new kind of edge” to
theatre.
And already they have announced
one of their first shows
for the year, which is set to be an
intimate play staged at whisky
and cocktail lounge, The Last
Word, on New Regent St.
First Love by American
playwright Charles Mee is a twoperson
play exploring the themes
of love, obsession, violence and
relationships.
“It is immersive in the sense
you are in the room with them,
you are experiencing their
relationship . . . it is a lot more
intimate than a lot of theatre I
think Christchurch is used to,”
Petersen said.
The duo have teamed up with
NASDA head of acting Soseh
Yekanians who has previously
said musical theatre in the city
is conservative, out of date and
unadventurous.
As well as directing First Love,
Yekanians will run a workshop
with So Keen Productions on
audition techniques and acting
for the camera.
•The pair expect to
announce more upcoming
shows at the end of March.

A Tragic Kind Of Wonderful
by Eric Lindstrom
The heart-rending and inspiring novel from the critically
acclaimed author of NOT IF I SEE YOU FIRST. How can you
have a future if you can’t accept your past? Mel Hannigan
doesn’t have it easy. Mourning the death of her firework
of a brother, facing the loss of three friendships that used
to mean everything to her and struggling to deal with a
condition that even her closest friends don’t know about.
To protect herself and everyone else, Mel tries to lock away
her heart, to live quietly without pain – but also without hope. Until
the plight of an old friend, and meeting someone new, shows her that the risk is
worth taking, that opening up to life – and who you really are – is what can make
everything glorious… And that maybe Mel can discover a tragic kind of wonderful
of her very own. A beautiful, captivating story about living with mental illness,
and loving – even with a broken heart.

A shop that makes a difference
It’s a rare opportunity that allows us
to make a difference in the world when
we go shopping. Thanks to Epic Books
in Ferrymead, it’s now possible to help
persecuted people just by making a
purchase.
The shop is celebrating a move to new
premises and can now be found on the
corner of Ferry Road and Waterman Place,
but customers are guaranteed the same
great range. Its shelves are packed with
items such as clothing and jewellery, music
CDs from around the world, charming
gifts for all occasions from Christenings
to birthdays and to suit all budgets, and, of
course, plenty of books. Topics range from
church history to children’s books, and
from adult colouring books to bibles. The
profit from every bible bought goes directly
to buying a bible for a persecuted Christian
somewhere in the worldand they have a
wide variety including bibles in Maori,
Tongan, Samoan, Russian, Korean, Chinese
and Inuit.
With Easter just around the corner,
children’s books telling the Easter story
begin at only $4.50, ideal for helping
children understand the meaning behind
the holiday.
The Epic Books team is very much part
of the local community – they would love
to hear from Christian artists keen to
showcase and sell their work through the
store. And if they don’t have a book by a
New Zealand author, they will contact the
writer direct and find a copy if possible.
All proceeds from Epic Books’ sales goes
to Voice of the Martyrs. The charity works
in communities such as North Korea, the
Middle East, Africa, China and Central
Asia giving not just a voice but practical
support to Christians who are imprisoned,
killed or tortured simply for following their
beliefs.
To celebrate their new location, Epic
Books is having a month-long sale. Call
into 1 Waterman Place anytime during
March to see what bargains are on offer.
Open from Mondays to Fridays, you can
also shop online at any time at epicbooks.

Hip pain: Do I have arthritis or
could it be mainly my muscles?
The team at Physical Sense in
Sydenham sees clients with a
range of symptoms but many
of their middle-aged and senior
clients visit complaining of pain in one or
both hips.
Physiotherapist Ietje van Stolk suggests
that a major part of the pain could be due
to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis.
“Even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason
for the pain may be the muscles around
the joint,” she explains. Alternatively, a back
muscle could also be the cause, as shown in
the image.
Ietje recalls one case where an 89 year old
client with severe arthritis who walked with
a stick, told her, “I will end up in a wheelchair,
I cannot put any weight through my right
leg due to pain in my hip and buttock”.
“Within 4 treatments, she was walking with
her stick but without the severe pain,” says
Ietje. “The arthritis was one of the factors
that made her muscles spasm but the other
was that older people move less and the
flexed position the hip is in when we sit is
particularly bad for the hip.” Ietje is happy
with the fact that although the client was 89
and could have been “given up on” or told
to live with the pain, she made a difference
to her health and wellbeing.
At Physical Sense, hands-on techniques
(massage and triggerpoint deactivation
techniques) are used to release the muscles.
The client also gets a home exercise program
designed to mobilize and stretch the hip,
strengthen the important core muscles and
increase general strength and balance. They
teach a movement sequence that stretches
the hip in all directions whilst the client is
able to lie safely on their bed, perfect for
older or less mobile clients.
In many cases having the muscles
released and being taught how to maintain

it, is enough to stay on top of the problem.
If severe arthritis is the underlying cause,
some maintenance therapy may be
necessary, but that is often more affordable
and, for older patients, better tolerated than
surgery. In very few treatments the client
will know if it is going to work for them or
not, without financial commitment.
