Residents 

may win 

battle for 

changing 

sheds 

• By Noah Graham 

CHANGING SHEDS at Scarborough 

Park could be installed following 

residents’ frustration the toilets were 

congested with people getting changed. 

The Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board requested money 

for the changing sheds to be included 

in the draft Annual Plan. 

The city council has budgeted 

$100,000 for the project, which could 

be carried out later this year, if the 

Annual Plan is approved following 

public consultation. 

Resident Peter Hansen said the lack 

of changing rooms has been a big 

problem. 

He said a lot of children and teenagers 

use the two toilets to change in 

and out of their clothes at the beach. 

It has caused congestion problems 

for those who want to use the toilets. 

Community board member Darrell 

Latham said it was something nearby 

residents’ and beach goers had been 

“advocating for.” 

“Mainly due to congestion from 

surf clubs holding teaching sessions 

along the waterfront and using the 

toilet facilities as changing rooms. 

“This has meant that folk passing 

have not been able to access toilet 

facilities in an easy manner,” Dr 

Latham said. 

City council head of community 

support, governance and partnerships 

Lester Wolfreys said creating more 

public toilets “makes sense.” 

“Currently people use the public 

toilets to change after swimming and 

surfing. This reduces the availability 

of public toilets,” Mr Wolfreys said.

FROM 

THE 

EDITOR’S 

DESK 

SOME RELIEF is on its way for 

those in need at Scarborough 

Park. 

We reveal today on page 1 that 

$100,000 may be put aside by the 

city council to build changing 

rooms at the popular park – and 

that will be money well spent. 

At the moment people are 

changing in the toilets and that’s 

causing a few issues for those who 

need them for what they were 

built for. 

Scarborough is hugely popular 

so it’s a no-brainer to put changing 

sheds in. 

Top marks to Sumner Running 

Club athletes who stood out at the 

Canterbury children’s championships 

in Timaru. 

We have a great shot on page 1 

of Caleb Sutter, and more coverage 

on page 15. 

Many thanks to the club for 

sending in details and photos of 

its efforts at the championships.

Penguins explore new nests 

In Brief 

• By Bridget Rutherford 

Marie 

Haley 

A SUCCESSFUL predator 

control programme on Banks 

Peninsula has meant some of the 

world’s smallest penguins have 

started exploring new nesting 

sites. 

In November and December, 

Banks Peninsula Conservation 

Trust carried out its 

great little penguin 

count at the largest 

mainland penguin 

colony in the country 

– Flea Bay. 

It is carried out 

every four years on 

the white flippered penguins 

and took about three weeks to 

do, because they like to nest in 

isolated, and difficult spots to 

access. 

Although the number of 

pairs of penguins had declined 

since the previous count, results 

showed they have started to explore 

old and unused nest sites. 

Nests were found in burrows 

at Otanerito, which had been 

unused for about 15-20 years. 

BPCT Wildside co-ordinator 

Marie Haley said it was exciting 

news for the colony’s future. 

She said it showed the success 

of the predator control programme 

across an area known 

as the Wildside, since numbers 

blew out in the 1980s. 

The Wildside is a nationally 

EXCITING: White flippered penguins have started expanding 

their nesting spots on Banks Peninsula. 

significant area for the protection 

of sea bird breeding sites. 

“It’s taken that long for the 

programme to be good enough, 

and long enough lasting for the 

tide to really turn and it’s quite 

exciting.” 

Ms Haley said the penguins 

had also been nesting at the 

bottom of Hinewai Reserve, and 

also around the coast where the 

predator control programme 

took place, from Akaroa head to 

Le Bons Bay. 

They had also moved to more 

open places closer to humans 

and activity, and seemed to be 

coping well, she said. 

A lot more were also being 

spotted in Akaroa Harbour, she 

said. 

In 2012, 1304 penguin pairs 

were counted. While the recent 

count found 1250. 

Ms Haley said the drop was 

not concerning, because the Flea 

Bay population had increased 

most years, and now it seemed 

to have reached its maximum. 

The very first count was done 

in 2000, with 717 pairs. 

The trust was also seeing continued 

increase in the number of 

sooty shearwaters or titi, nesting 

at Stony Bay. 

In the last count in December, 

there were up to 50 chicks. The 

number had gone up every year. 

TOURISTS UNHURT 

A tourist couple have walked 

away uninjured after their car 

crashed into a bank on State 

Highway 75, Little River, on 

Sunday afternoon. Akaroa 

police Senior Constable Tim 

Johnson said the tourists were 

travelling too fast in the wet 

weather, lost control and as they 

turned a corner, flipped and 

crashed into the bank. 

CONTAINER REMOVED 

On Sunday morning a 7m 

container was removed from a 

vessel docked at the Lyttelton 

Port when it was believed to 

have contained 

a hazardous 

resin. Lyttelton 

Volunteer Fire 

Brigade chief 

fire officer Mark 

Buckley (right) 

said there were 

no issues in the 

container’s removal and it was 

all done in a “very safe manner.” 

Lyttelton Port of Christchurch 

manager Doug Parker 

confirmed a sticky 

resin was spilt when the 

container was on-board the 

ship. He said it is in a secured 

area of the port awaiting cleanup. 

“There was no spillage into 

any waterways and no harm to 

the environment,” he said.

Better communication – principal 


LYTTELTON Primary School’s 

new principal is aiming for 

better communication between 

the school and community. 

Brendan Wright has been at 

the school since January but feels 

like he is already at home. 

Mr Wright’s appointment 

followed former principal Diana 

Feary’s resignation last year, after 

a number of complaints from 

parents about management, 

communication, teacher morale 

and the impact on children’s 

education. 

Mr Wright said being the new 

principal will be challenging, 

something he is looking forward 

to. 

His major goal will be to build 

a better relationship between the 

school and the community, 

“You’ve got such a mixture 

of people in the community. A 

variety of people with different 

jobs and roles,” he said. 

The school was “close to 

people’s hearts.” 

Mr Wright said he is aiming 

for the pupils to learn more 

about the place they live in, the 

environment and the eclectic 

nature of Lyttelton. 

“There is always challenge with 

change and for each school the 

challenge is different.” 

Before his new role, Mr Wright 

was the principal at Hanmer 

Springs School for six years 

where he saw the school role 

increase from 75 pupils to 130. 

He said he feels at home in 

Lyttelton and the school because 

it is a similarly “close-knit” 

community like Hanmer Springs 

and having a good relationship 

between them both is a crucial 

part of a school running well. 

“There’s been a lot of changes 

in education since I started. In 

particular, technology is a huge 

factor in why it has changed.” 

Mr Wright said when he first 

started teaching they had an old 

computer in the corner of the 

room, now the pupils are using 

iPads. 

His main goal is to ensure 

the school is working with the 

community and making use of 

the place they are living in and 

the extraordinary populace. 

Mr Wright said pupils had to 

be taught to be adaptable and 

prepare them for change, rather 

than directing pupils in one 

direction. 

“They are going to have to cope 

with change and we have to help 

them to continually think about 

change.” 

However, he said reading, 

writing and mathematics are still 

the important basics pupils need 

to know to go forward. 

“(There’s) changes in what 

people see the purpose of a

Repairing damage to the Port Hills 


IT WILL take years and 

potentially millions of dollars 

to rejuvenate the Ohinetahi 

Reserve. 

More than 83ha of native 

plants were lost when the Port 

Hills fire raged through the 

reserve last month along with 

1.3km worth of fencing. Now the 

Summit Road Society is looking 

for funding to help restore the 

reserve. 

The society has set up a Givealittle 

page, which has raised more 

than $5300, to help ease the pressure 

of the potential cost, society 

president Bill Woods said. 

Mr Woods said it would cost 

more than $16,500 to repair the 

fencing, and hiring a contractor 

to re-plant the reserve would cost 

more than $8 million, money the 

society does not have. 

“It’s a staggering amount of 

money.” 

However, Mr Woods said they 

were going to have to be creative 

with trying to restore the land by 

aerial spraying flax seeds, which 

the society has collected, over 

the reserve, followed by handplanting 

eco-sourced plants 

around the perimeter. 

It is expected the cost of aerial 

spraying followed by hand planting 

will cost $50,000, he said. 

He said, if the society had the

perimeter line planted, they 

hoped maybe nature would 

take over and spread native 

seeds into the reserve area to 

help rejuvenate the scorched 

land. 

He said it was also important 

for the fence to be repaired 

as soon as possible to stop 

neighbouring animal stock from 

wandering onto the land and 

eating the young trees when they 

are planted. 

Mr Woods said they want to 

get a recovery programme under 

way quickly before the risk of 

erosion and sediment could 

affect nearby creeks and the 

harbour basin if there is heavy 

rainfall. 

It was also important to try 

and get as much of it done before 

winter sets in and before grass 

and weeds take hold, making it 

difficult for indigenous species to 

establish themselves more easily, 

he said. 

“We’re already losing that race 

– there are weeds growing in the 

reserve already.” 

Mr Woods said it will be a 50- 

year project to get the reserve to 

how it was before the fire. 

The Summit Road Society 

was the hardest hit landowner 

from the fire, with a huge loss in 

native biodiversity in Ohinetahi 

Reserve. 

Volunteers help replanting 


MORE THAN one million flax 

seeds have been collected so far 

to help rejuvenate the Ohinetahi 

Reserve. 

Two flax pod de-seeding 

meetings have taken place in 

the Governors Bay Community 

Centre over the past two weeks 

to collect flax seeds which will 

be spread over the Ohinetahi 

Reserve. 

Summit Road Society member 

and organiser of the deseeding 

meetings, Tony Edney, 

said more than 20 volunteers 

were at each meeting. 

“I’ve calculated it to more 

than 30,000 seeds collected 

per person. They’ve done really 

well.” 

Mr Edney said it was important 

for the society to collect the 

seeds as the flax plants could be 

the reserve’s lifeline if sprayed 

over the area. 

He said the plants grow 

quickly and don’t burn easily, 

but they would need a lot of 

seeds because of the low development 

rate. 

Mr Edney said the flax pods 

were collected from neighbouring 

areas. 

The group needed to start

work on the reserve as soon as 

possible before weeds took over 

the land. 

“Right now gorse seeds are 

starting to germinate. They’ve 

had a good head start. We 

don’t want to be a year out,” Mr 

Edney said. 

He said there would be 

more de-seeding meetings this 

month.

Library ready for bookworms 


AFTER BEING closed for 

earthquake repairs, the library at 

Lyttelton has reopened. 

The building in Canterbury St,

Police meeting 

with residents

AN ORGANISER of an 

online survey about crime in 

Lyttelton hopes tomorrow’s 

police-prompted community 

meeting will not just be a show of 

statistics. 

A public meeting between 

police and the community will 

be held at the Lyttelton Primary 

School hall at 6pm. It comes after 

months of concern from residents 

about policing in Lyttelton. 

Paul Dietsche, who helped 

organise an online survey which 

highlighted the community’s dissatisfaction, 

is worried the police 

will show statistics that say there 

has not been an increase in crime. 

But he is hopeful the police 

will suggest plans on how the 

community and police can work 

together. 

Canterbury area prevention 

manager Acting Inspector Paul 

Reeves, Senior Sergeant Stephen 

McDaniel and Sergeant Dave

Car show 

hospital 

fundraiser 

AKAROA RESIDENTS are 

hosting a car show to help 

fundraise for the health hub. 

The inaugural La Grande Auto 

Show Akaroa will be held on Saturday 

from 10.30am until 3.30pm, 

at the Akaroa Recreation Ground 

in a bid to help raise money 

for the Akaroa Health Hub: Te

A group decided a car show 

would be a good way to help raise 

money for the hospital. Archibalds 

are sponsoring the event. 

The auto show will bring together 

many of Canterbury’s top 

vehicles and will allow you full 

access to view the cars and meet 

their owners. 

There will be feature race cars 

and those from different periods 

throughout history. 

All funds go directly to the 

Akaroa Health Hub’s rebuild. 

The Akaroa Hospital was badly 

damaged in the September 4, 

2010, earthquake and could no 

longer be used. Since then the 

community has been working 

with the Canterbury District 

Health Board to raise money to 

build a replacement.

$30,000 lifeline for cottage 


FERRYMEAD’S COB Cottage 

has been given a $30,000 lifeline 

to stop it deteriorating. 

The money has been fast 

tracked after Linwood-Central- 

Heathcote Ward councillors Sara 

Templeton and 

Yani Johanson 

(left) argued 

it was needed 

urgently. 

A total of 

$300,000 which 

was earmarked 

for the repair had been deferred 

out to 2020/21 in the proposed 

draft Annual Plan. 

However, Cr Templeton and 

Cr Johanson asked for the repair 

of the cottage to be brought 

forward to 2019. 

Cr Templeton said the 

extra $30,000 will ensure the 

building is secured and help 

stop deterioration until 2019 

while also contributing to public 

consultation and consent 

costs. 

The historic cottage was significantly 

damaged in the 2011 

earthquakes and repairs were 

put on hold until Ferrymead 

Bridge could be fixed. 

She said the cottage has been

there is no time frame for that 

yet, she said. 

Christchurch Heritage Trust 

chairwoman Dr Anna Crighton 

said she was delighted to hear 

the plans were brought forward 

and the cottage is going to be 

repaired. 

“I’m very pleased they’re going 

to repair it . . . we need reminders 

from before the earthquake, 

particularly Cob Cottage.” 

The cottage was built by James 

Penfold in the early 1860s. 

Mr Penfold was an employee 

for the Ferrymead-Christchurch 

railway line and helped in the 

construction of Lyttelton Tunnel. 

The building has a shingled 

roof, wooden casement windows 

and a plank door. The house was 

rebuilt in the 1940s.

Reunion celebrates 

Danish settler history 

ABOUT 70 descendants of 

19th-century Danish settler Peter 

Sorensen visited sites around 

Banks Peninsula recently for a 

family reunion. 

Descendants met first at 

the Greenpark Memorial 

Community Centre before 

spending the weekend visiting 

various Banks Peninsula 

locations associated with the 

family history. 

The reunion culminated with 

a get-together at the Akaroa Recreation 

Ground. 

Mr Sorensen, a carpenter, 

and his wife Rasmine made the 

journey from Yding, Denmark, to 

Lyttelton onboard the Cardigan 

Castle in 1873. 

Conditions in Denmark were 

not good at the time and the 

New Zealand Government was 

initially recruiting immigrants. 

The Sorensens’ children Karen 

and Nielsine also made the voyage. 

A third child had died of 

cholera in London after arriving 

there from Denmark and three 

other children, Mary, Frederick 

and Bodiline were born in New 

Zealand. 

The family settled, first at 

Robinsons Bay, and then in the 

GET TOGETHER: About 70 people attended the Sorensen 

family reunion. 

Little River area, and lived there 

for many years. 

Family members worked at the 

Robinsons Bay, Springvale and 

Tarawera mills. 

The children married into 

families in the Banks Peninsula 

area and Christchurch, before 

dispersing out to various farms 

throughout Canterbury and 

beyond. 

Bodiline Sorensen worked as 

a housekeeper for the Rhodes 

brothers at Flea Bay before marrying 

Greek-born Akaroa launch 

operator Demetrius Koinomopolus. 

They were better known locally 

as Mr and Mrs Dominique. 

Mrs Dominique, who lived to 

94, was well regarded in Akaroa 

for growing fruit trees and selling 

the fruit and preserves. The 

Dominique’s house at 20 Percy 

St still has some of those original 

apple and pear trees. She was also 

known for her fine embroidery 

and her marriage certificate, 

which she worked in cross-stitch, 

was on show at the Akaroa Museum 

over the reunion weekend. 

Many of the descendants at the 

reunion came from Canterbury, 

Otago and Southland. Some also 

came from the North Island and 

Australia, as well as as far afield 

as Wisconsin and Vietnam. 

Only one descendant of Mr 

Sorensen lives on the peninsula 

today, a great, great granddaughter 

who lives in Takamatua. 

SEND-OFF: More than 360 people farewelled godwits on 

Friday evening. The birds have started an 11,000km migration 

journey to Alaska. About 800 birds left last week with 750 

expected to leave this week. “It was just fabulous to see so 

many people taking an interest in these unique migrating 

birds, it shows that people truly value wildlife in and on the 

estuary,” Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust co-ordinator 

Tanya Jenkins said. 

ECLECTIC: The Hell Fire Club owner Roz Dixon celebrating 

her new bar in the British Hotel in Lyttelton. The club had 

a soft opening two weeks ago and the response from the 

community has been “really good,” she said. Mrs Dixon hopes 

the club will be a creative space for locals to go and perform 

in a welcoming environment. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER

Enhancing biodiversity 

Linwood- 

Central- 

Heathcote 

Community 

Board member 

Tim Lindley talks 

about the community’s 

effort in re-vegetating the 

Avon/Heathcote Estuary 

and urges people to also 

help with the next planned 

planting along the Coastal 

Pathway 

Community effort really does 

make a difference. Sometimes 

the progress made is so steady 

it can be hard to remember how 

things were before, but changes 

for the better definitely are happening. 

A good local example (and 

there are many others) is the 

partnership between various 

community groups and city 

council to re-vegetate the south 

east Avon/Heathcote Estuary 

edge and nearby gullies with 

native plants. 

Many projects are involved, 

including the Charlesworth Reserve, 

McCormacks Bay, Drayton 

Reserve, Coastal Pathway, 

Sumner Dunes and Mahoe-Nui 

Bush – and possibly some I don’t 

know about yet. 

These are important for many 

reasons, one being the compelling 

evidence that being able to 

regularly take time out in nature 

is good for mental well-being. 

It also represents good stewardship. 

In Charlesworth Reserve, 

rare black backed gulls have 

begun breeding and the godwits 

(now heading away for winter) 

have found an extension to their 

feeding grounds. 

For keen walkers, Drayton 

Reserve, tucked in between Mt 

Pleasant and Balmoral spurs, is 

well worth a visit. There are five 

entry points. The easiest to find 

are from the far end of Basil Pl, 

the first bend up Glenstrae Rd 

and the end of Avery Pl. 

The bush is growing well here 

and with a trapping programme 

under way, it could even become 

noisy with birdlife. 

The next planting planned for 

the Coastal Pathway is a special 

one – the landscaped area opposite 

Redcliffs Park.

QUESTION: What’s the rule 

for meeting another boat that’s 

travelling head-on towards you? 

If you cannot answer this basic 

question then, sadly, you’re not 

alone. I will give you the answer 

to this at the end of my column. 

As I’m constantly visiting 

boating areas across Canterbury 

as Environment Canterbury 

navigation safety officer, I often 

speak with keen boaties about 

the rules. This helps me to figure 

out what people do and don’t 

know about the Navigation 

Safety Bylaw 2016 rules. 

As a result of these informal 

conversations, I’m very 

concerned about the lack of 

knowledge among our boating 

community about the new bylaw 

rules. 

At one of the Harbourmaster’s 

Office boating safety days. 

I chatted to boaties about the 

The land form and planting 

plan has been carefully designed 

by Wraight and Associates so 

that people using the pathway 

will not frighten birds away from 

the estuary edge. 

The planting is scheduled 

for mid-May. This project 

urgently needs community 

help. The project leader is 

leaving Christchurch in April 

and the pathway group is 

urgently seeking someone to 

take over. To offer help or to 

find out more, email info@

new rules and jotted down (in an 

informal survey) what people did 

and didn’t know. On one particular 

occasion I spoke with 133 

people and asked 11 of the same 

basic questions about the rules. 

What surprised me the most 

was that about 75 per cent of

Lyttelton is known for many 

things – stunning natural beauty, 

a rich history, a key position as 

host to Canterbury’s port, and a 

close-knit community spirit. 

It is when communities are 

challenged that we really see that 

community spirit come to the 

fore. The big challenge that Lyttelton 

is facing now is the spate of 

crime – particularly burglary – 

which residents have been telling 

me about for several months. 

We all want to feel safe in our 

homes and it’s awful to know 

that there are people in our 

community who are threatening 

the security of our homes and 

vehicles – whether these are fellow 

members of the community 

or opportunists who have come 

in from somewhere else. 

I am very pleased that the 

police response to these issues 

being raised has been to engage

VISIT OUR NEW LOCATION LOCATION 

with the community directly. 

The community meeting, taking 

place at Lyttelton Primary School 

at 6pm tomorrow, will be an opportunity 

for dialogue between 

police and the community. 

It will be valuable for the community 

to hear first-hand what 

the crime statistics are in Lyttelton, 

and find out more about 

the work police are doing. But it 

will also be a chance for members 

of the community to have their 

say, and let police know what they 

have experienced and how they 

feel they could be better served. 

Looking into the future, I do 

think Lyttelton should expect to 

benefit from the National Government’s 

recent announcement 

of a Safer Communities package, 

including 880 new sworn police 

officers. The extra police staff 

will be distributed where New 

Zealand Police believe the greatest 

need is. I think Lyttelton is 

a prime candidate, and I will be 

communicating that to our police 

leadership in Canterbury. 

When it comes to deciding on 

the distribution of these extra 

resources, it can only be a positive 

thing for Lyttelton that we are 

now opening a dialogue between 

the community and the police 

who serve them. 

A lesson for boaties on how to stay safe on the water 

Pirate’s Corner 

the boaties I spoke with had not 

actually read the bylaw. If this is 

representative of our boaties, it’s 

a bit scary. The bylaw rules define 

what you can and cannot do 

in waterways in the Canterbury 

region. 

What is the speed limit of 

vessels within 200m of the shore 

or structure, or within 50m of a 

swimmer or another vessel? This 

is another question that caught a 

lot of people out. While the rule 

is five knots, a lot of people said 

either eight or 10 knots. 

When I discussed the wearing 

of life jackets with people, the 

majority said they wore life jackets 

when on the water without 

fail. However, many admitted 

they hadn’t checked their life 

jackets to ensure they were safe. 

Life jackets must be checked 

regularly for wear, that they inflate 

correctly and are safe. If you 

do not know how to have your 

life jacket checked, email me at 

gary.manch@ecan.govt.nz and I 

will send you the information. 

Before I sign off, here’s the 

answer to the question I asked at 

the start of my column: When 

two boats are approaching headon 

to each other they must pass 

port to port (left side to left side) 

both must alter their course to 

starboard (turn to the right) to 

avoid colliding head on. To read

Sick bed to City2Surf 

TURNAROUND: Leanne Crawford has put poor 

health behind her and is looking forward to the 

City2Surf. 

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

• By Gabrielle Stuart 

JUST A year ago, Leanne Crawford could 

barely walk, had lost 30kg, was constantly 

sick, and had to put both her work and her 

wedding on hold – and she had no idea what 

was going wrong. 

On Sunday she will take on the 14km The 

Star City2Surf with Mike Pero Real Estate 

event, which she will walk, and she won’t 

be doing it alone. 

Her partner, friends and many of the 

nurses who helped her get on her feet 

again plan to do the walk beside her – 

41 people in total – raising money to 

help others with the same condition 

get treatment. 

The 30-year-old began feeling sick 

in 2014, but initially doctors did not 

know what was wrong. 

It took almost two years for her to 

be diagnosed and find a treatment, 

because she was facing a complex 

mix of parasites in her intestines, 

crohn’s disease and endometriosis. 

For much of that time she couldn’t 

work, and she had to postpone her 

wedding three times. 

“It was like my life was turned 

upside down. It was really, really 

frightening just not knowing what 

was going on,” she said. 

After a Christchurch gastroenterology 

specialist, Steven Ding, diagnosed 

her problems, she has made a 

gradual recovery. 

But she said it was only possible because 

of the help she received, and the diagnosis 

tools provided by the Canterbury Bowel and 

Liver Trust. 

“The things that finally got me well cost a 

lot of money, so I wanted to give something 

back,” she said. 

She has already raised almost $1500 

through people sponsoring her run. 

She said she had never done anything like 

the City2Surf before, and after being sick 

for so long being able to cross the finish line 

would feel like a giant victory. 

“I’m sure there will be tears,” she said. 

“I finally feel like I’ve got my life back. I 

can’t go for drinks or dinner like normal, 

but I am still able to work, which is amazing.” 

She works for Bupa as an activity organiser, 

and said they held her job for her, in 

spite of the fact she was off work for three 

months. 

She has also rescheduled her wedding, and 

plans to marry her partner of eight years, 

Craig Corboy, this December. 

“I’m determined I’m going to get down the 

aisle this time,” she said.

THE AVON-Heathcote Estuary 

Ihutai Trust is using a new way 

to get people wandering around 

the Charlesworth Wetland 

Reserve track. 

The trust is trialling a questionnaire 

about the reserve’s 

local flora for the community to 

answer as they stroll around the 

Wetland Edge Walk. 

Trust co-ordinator Tanya 

Jenkins said people will have to 

locate signs around the reserve 

which correlate to 20 questions 

inside a pamphlet about a particular 

plant within the reserve. 

She said it appealed to people 

both young and old. 

“It is absolutely fun . . . Who 

doesn’t want to be a detective?” 

Mrs Jenkins said it was a great 

way for the community to enjoy 

a 30-minute walk, while also 

learning something new about 

the place they live in. 

She said there are a range of 

questions which help people 

understand how certain plants 

are cared for or why they look 

the way they do. 

The questionnaire is the first 

of its sort in Christchurch tracks, 

she said. 

Mrs Jenkins said walking 

tracks in the North Island had 

started using an interactive element 

to their walks which had 

worked “really well,” so it was 

about time Canterbury gave it 

a go.

Year 8 student leaders Lucy 

Walker, Rio Simpson and 

Frances Dougherty organised the 

day and divided the school into 

three countries, where pupils 

had to wear outfits representing 

either the United States, Brazil or 

Ireland. 

The pupils were asked to 

donate a gold coin and played a 

“fun-style of Olympics,” which 

included a variety of team sports 

in the afternoon, all to raise 

money for the year 7 and 8 camp 

later next month, principal John 

Kane said. 

He said it was a wonderful 

day for the school to celebrate 

cultural diversity.

Young Sumner athletes excel 

SPORTS 


SUMNER RUNNING Club 

athletes broke records and won 

several medals at the Canterbury 

children’s championships in 

Timaru. 

Junior club captain Ann Wells 

said it was a fantastic event at 

Aorangi Stadium with excellent 

conditions. 

She said the athletes beat a lot 

of the club’s records while also 

nabbing a few top spots. 

The club did exceptionally well 

this year because it had a smaller 

contingency of athletes and 

produced a number of top-three 

performances within the various 

age groups, she said.

Christchurch Hearing 

and Audiology Clinics 

Lyttelton locals will now benefit from 

regular hearing and audiology clinics being 

held at Lyttelton Health Centre on Oxford 

Street. Sincock & Till Audiology are the 

Christchurch hearing specialists and saw 

the need for a clinic in the port town. “We 

have customers travel to us from Lyttelton 

and with no full-time hearing clinic for 

the area, it made perfect sense to make a 

regular and ongoing commitment to the 

area,” says Carolyn Till. 

Full audiology services will be on offer 

including hearing aid sales, adjustments to 

existing hearing aids, diagnostic hearing 

tests and wax removal. Sincock & Till 

specialise in ACC for hearing loss resulting 

from noise exposure. ACC offer generous 

subsides for hearing aids when the loss is 

caused by damage resulting from noisy 

employment or recreational activities, 

something that is common given the 

industry of Lyttelton. “We have a good 

relationship with ACC and significant 

experience with helping customers through 

the ACC process,” says Carolyn. “We are 

fortunate in New Zealand to have access to 

this funding but the key is to get a diagnosis 

of a noise related loss prior to age related 

hearing loss being more predominant.” 

Locals who visit the Lyttelton clinic will 

always have access to the Christchurch city 

clinic on Barbadoes Street. 

“Hearing is valuable and our message is 

that “a conversation costs nothing,” says 

Carolyn. “Make an appointment, talk to us 

about your hearing and we will do what we 

do!” “We are highly experienced and offer 

a more personal approach to audiology 

and hearing healthcare. We pride ourselves 

on being locally owned, affordable and 

independent of the large internationally 

owned companies and we aim to deliver a 

better level of service. What is important 

to customers with hearing aids is seeing 

the same person every time and trusting 

that person to genuinely care about their 

hearing. Hearing aids only take you so far, 

choosing the right audiologist is as, if not 

more important. We often have people 

switch to us for that reason. We don’t need 

to be the ones who fitted your hearing aids 

to be the people that care for your hearing 

in years to come.” 

Anyone can visit the new hearing clinic, 

even if you already have hearing aids 

and want a more local and convenient 

provider. Contact Sincock and Till 

Audiology on 03 385 6036.

Governors Bay is a very desirable and 

popular Banks Peninsula suburb just 15
