Governors Bay’s Chris McLean will look to stamp his claim in the 

opening round of the New Zealand Rally Championship in Otago 

this weekend. This year will be the 21-year-old’s first national 

campaign. He has previously competed in a number of South Island 

rallies, including a fifth place finish in the two-wheel-drive class at 

last year’s Canterbury Rally.

ANGER IS growing over a 

cellphone tower which has been 

constructed in Sumner. 

Residents have contacted local 

community board member 

Darrell Latham asking why it is 

there. 

The Vodafone tower has been 

put up outside the SuperValue 

supermarket car park on Nayland 

St. 

Dr Latham said he wanted to 

know why it was put in such a 

central location when it wasn’t 

“easy on the eye.” 

Under the Telecommunications 

Act public consultation 

is not required, and the city 

council only steps in if the tower 

does not met the requirements of 

the act. 

Dr Latham said he was surprised 

public consultation did 

not need to be carried out.

THE 

EDITOR’S 

DESK

News......................................3-6 

ONE OF the most abused rules 

of the road code is back on the 

radar – how fast you can pass a 

stationary school bus. 

If you don’t know, it’s 20km/h. 

Motorists are being warned to 

slow right down when passing a 

school bus picking up or dropping 

off children (see page 3). 

Why – because kids will be kids 

and they do unpredictable things. 

If you’re going 50, 80 or 100km/h 

you’ve got no chance of stopping. 

So if it means hitting the anchors 

in a 100km/h zone when 

coming up to a stationary school 

bus – do it. 

Someone who won’t be slowing 

down this weekend is Governors 

Bay’s Chris McLean. He is competing 

in the opening round of 

the NZ Rally Championship (see 

page 14). 

Keep the foot down, Chris.

Plea to slow down near school buses 

• By Tom Doudney 

MOTORISTS ignoring the 

20km/h speed limit when 

passing school buses are 

frustrating police, bus drivers 

and the wider public. 

Legally, vehicles must slow 

down to 20km/h on both sides of 

the road when passing buses. 

Clint Ross, who has been driving 

a school bus for 15 years, said 

most people ignored the law. 

“A handful abide, the rest don’t 

give a damn,” he said. 

“Kids can just pop out just like 

that. They just run behind the 

bus and straight across the road 

or walk out the door and in front 

of the bus and straight across 

the road without even thinking. 

I’ve seen near misses quite a few 

times.” 

Mr Ross’ bus is full most days. 

He had a message for drivers: 

“Just think, if your children were 

on this bus and they got off and 

someone wasn’t abiding by the 

speed limit and hit your child, 

how would you feel?” 

Mr Ross said one of the most 

frustrating things was that most 

police cars passing the bus often 

didn’t slow down either. 

“That really brasses me off,” he 

said. 

“They should know better.” 

Senior Sergeant Pete Stills 

said motorists ignoring the 

20km/h speed limit when passing 

school buses was an ongoing 

problem. 

“It’s a traffic law that a lot of 

motorists aren’t familiar with – 

and should be,” he said. 

While road safety was of critical 

importance for everyone, it 

was especially important that 

extra care was taken to protect 

more vulnerable members of 

society, including children using 

school buses. 

Senior Sergeant Stills said 

he would be “extremely disappointed” 

if any of his officers 

were indeed not abiding by the 

20km/h limit. 

In Brief 

CASS BAY ACCESS 

A focus has been put on 

making Cass Bay more 

accessible for the disabled and 

those with mobility issues. 

At a recent Cass Bay Reserve 

Management Committee 

meeting, members decided to 

make this a priority. It is seen 

as an ongoing project by the 

committee, which will look at 

how to make access to the toilet, 

playground and beach easier for 

the disabled. 

SMOKE FILLS HOUSE 

Smoke alarms and a 

quick-thinking neighbour 

prevented a Lyttelton house 

from being burnt down last 

week. Firefighters were called 

to the Exeter St property to 

find it filled with smoke. The 

occupant had left the property 

while cooking, and when the 

the neighbour heard the smoke 

alarm going off, phoned the fire 

brigade. Lyttelton fire chief Mark 

Buckley said the householder 

came home while they were 

cleaning up. He said he was a bit 

shocked but very thankful the 

neighbours had reacted when 

they did, essentially saving 

the house. Mr Buckley said it 

was a reminder to make sure 

everything is off before leaving 

the house.

Cellphone 

tower 

angers 

residents 

•From page 1 

He said even though it is not 

required it should be up to companies 

to let the community know 

where they plan to build cellphone 

towers and if residents have concerns 

about where it is proposed 

companies should listen. 

“They have the need to act as 

responsible community citizens,” 

he said. 

The Sumner Residents’ Association 

spokesperson Kimberly 

Mossman didn’t want to comment 

as they didn’t know enough 

about it. 

Dr Latham said he noticed the 

tower last week, which was when 

residents’ started asking him 

about it. 

He said people weren’t unhappy 

about a cellphone tower being 

built, it was the look and location 

that was upsetting to residents. 

City council staff said there is 

no lease on the tower and it will 

be there indefinitely.

Ellesmere plan not pursued 

• By Tom Doudney 

RETURNING TE Waihora/ 

Lake Ellesmere to its pre-1940s 

condition was not pursued in 

restoration plans because of the 

“considerable” social disruption 

it would involve. 

The fact that the Central 

Plains Water scheme, expected 

to lead to intensification of 

agriculture in the catchment 

and a higher nitrogen load, 

had already 

been granted 

resource consent 

and “this 

could not be 

overturned” 

was also a 

factor. 

Tim Davie 

The Selwyn 

Te Waihora 

section of 

Environment Canterbury’s 

Land and Water Regional Plan, 

which became operational last 

year, seeks to limit the amount 

of nitrogen reaching the lake to 

4800 tonnes per year. 

Before the 1940s, it is estimated 

the lake had about 800 

tonnes of nitrogen reaching 

it per year. Since then, the 

nitrogen load has increased, accompanied 

by a deterioration in 

water quality. 

NUTRIENT MATTERS: Returning Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere 

to its pre-1940s condition was not seen as feasible. 

An ECan staff report to 

yesterday’s Selwyn Waihora 

Zone Committee outlined the 

background to lake restoration 

measures as an update to new 

committee members. 

The report said that achieving 

a nitrogen load of 800 tonnes 

per year would require retirement 

of intensive agriculture 

from the lake’s catchment area, 

along with other lake and catchment 

interventions. 

In agreeing on 4800 tonnes 

per year as the target, the zone 

committee had taken into 

account “the importance of agriculture 

to the Selwyn district 

economy and employment with 

the need to maintain farm financial 

viability” and that Central 

Plains Water irrigation “was 

consented and this could not be 

overturned” under provisions in 

the Resource Management Act. 

Without the nutrient limits 

set in the plan, the amount 

of nitrogen reaching the lake 

would be an estimated 5600 

tonnes per year. 

The zone implementation 

programme for Selwyn Te 

Waihora states that none 

of the other lake mitigation 

options being employed were 

a substitute for nutrient load 

limits and active management to 

reduce nitrogen and phosphorus 

entering the lake. 

“The lower the nutrient load 

limits set, the more effective 

the lake mitigation actions are 

likely to be and the better the 

outcomes for the lake. 

Conversely, the higher the 

nutrient load, the greater is 

the reliance on successful lake 

mitigations and the lesser are 

the lake outcomes that are 

possible.” 

ECan chief scientist Tim 

Davie said the nutrient 

concentration in the lake would 

be reduced by a large amount. 

He also said water quality and 

lake health were not the same 

thing. 

“Fishers now are likely to tell 

you it is very healthy, as healthy 

as it has been for a very long 

time. However, water quality is 

still an issue,” said Dr Davie. 

Born in 1969, Kirsty lives in Auckland 

with her husband and two children. 

She has been a full-time artist since 

1977. She says “Although it can be 

such a rewarding, frustrating, joyous, 

terrifying occupation I can’t imagine 

not having it in my life.” 

About her latest exhibition, “It was 

a natural step for me to introduce 

our striking native birds to my work. 

They quietly snuck in without me even 

thinking about it too much. We often 

hear the heavy swoop of wood pigeon 

as they move from branch to branch 

and I am woken to the melodic call of 

the Tui most mornings at home and 

often surprised by their lively dives 

through the garden. Fantails pick 

bugs from our path as we walk the 

dog through the bush near home. And 

yet we live in a city. We are fortunate 

Kirsty Nixon 

ON THE WING 

to still have these creatures share our 

space and enhance our landscape. 

Up close, their feathers shine with a 

metallic luminous quality and when 

painting the whites of their eyes they 

each develop personalities. 

Interestingly the birds in this show 

have mainly been on the wing and 

it seems to reflect a current state of 

mind with a sense of escapism and 

freedom. 

Colour excites me and the time 

seemed right to challenge myself with 

a fresh exciting palette along with my 

new subject matter. Embracing colour 

in my new pieces has been a joy and 

wonderfully liberating.” 

Kirsty’s latest exhibition named ‘On 

The Wing’ takes place at Little River 

Gallery from April 8th until May 3rd.

Rockfall risk to close cave 

In Brief 


MONCKS CAVE in Redcliffs 

will be fenced off due to rockfall 

risk. 

At a meeting last week city 

council staff presented a geotech 

hazard report and landscaping 

plan to members of the 

community about the cave and 

surrounding reserve. 

The cave and land in Moncks 

Cave Reserve on the corner of 

Main Rd and Cave Tce in Redcliffs 

has been closed off from 

the public since the February 22, 

2011, earthquake, due to risk of 

collapse or rockfall. Over that 

time the reserve has become 

overgrown with its future uncertain. 

At the meeting between city 

council staff and members 

of the Redcliffs community, 

Redcliffs Residents’ Association 

secretary Pat McIntosh said city 

council staff presented a plan 

to tidy up the reserve and fence 

off the cave due to the risk of 

rockfall. 

Dr McIntosh said she was glad 

the city council hosted the evening 

to discuss the future of the 

cave and reserve with members 

of the community. 

“It was a useful session and 

good for them to bring that 

information to the public,” Dr 

McIntosh said.

Moncks Cave is of cultural

The city council plans to 

tidy up the area by removing 

the current fencing to open 

the reserve and footpath back 

to the public once the area 

has been cleared of weeds and 

landscaped. 

City council plans to fence off 

the entry to the cave to protect 

the public. Dr McIntosh said it 

was clear it needed to be fenced 

off for safety reasons and others 

at the meeting were happy with 

the outcome. 

Dr McIntosh said what the 

city council planned “will be a 

big improvement” on the current 

look of the area.

THE NEED for redundancies and 

reduced hours to keep the Lyttelton 

Community House Trust operational 

has upset staff. 

Due to a lack of funding, the trust, 

located at 7 Dublin St in Lyttelton, 

has had to cut two staff members and 

reduce its hours to keep running. 

Former trust chairman Gary 

Manch said it was “really upsetting” 

news for the trust. 

“A lot of people put work into it, 

funding is a big issue . . . it’s terrible,” 

Mr Manch said. 

He stepped down as chairman last 

week. 

He said being the chairman was a 

hard job, and constantly worrying 

about funding was stressful. 

The trust’s office faced complete 

closure, but by reducing hours and 

cutting staff it has managed to remain 

open, although it wasn’t an easy 

decision to make. 

Mr Manch said he had received 

feedback from members of the 

community who were disappointed 

to hear about the reduced hours, but 

he said people had not helped to keep 

the service running. 

“Non-government funded 

organisations really rely on funding, 

you have to pay the rent, running 

the kitchen, staff and all of that,” he 

said. 

Trust staff will be working to ensure 

people using the service still get 

the support they need, meals for the 

elderly and vulnerable will continue 

and a trained social worker will still 

be employed to assist people in the 

community. 

The trust will work on reduced 

hours from May 31.

wastewater, presenting five 

different options to choose from. 

The options include reusing 

the treated 

wastewater to 

irrigate trees 

or pasture at 

Takamātua Valley, 

Robinsons 

Bay or Pompeys 

John Mackie 

Pillar, provide 

non-drinking 

water for garden watering and 

toilet flushing in Akaroa or 

discharging it into the midharbour, 

which was the original 

application. 

The city council has consent to 

build a new treatment plant, but 

its application to Environment 

Canterbury for a new consent 

to continue discharging treated 

wastewater into the harbour was 

turned down at a hearing last year. 

The city council was asked to 

give more consideration to landbased 

disposal methods that 

would not require discharging 

wastewater into the harbour. 

Options are being looked at 

as the consent for the current 

WASTE: The city council has presented the community with options for wastewater disposal, 

one option includes discharging into Akaroa Harbour.

wastewater treatment plant expires 

in 2020 and funding for the 

new scheme was included in the 

2016-2017 annual plan. 

Head of Three Waters and 

Waste John Mackie said the 

current treatment plant, which 

discharges treated wastewater 

into Akaroa Harbour, was near 

the end of its useful life. 

Mr Mackie said each of the 

four new options involved 

reclaiming and reusing, or recycling, 

the treated wastewater. 

“The water will be treated to 

a very high standard, removing 

almost all bacteria and viruses, 

and could be suitable for a range 

of uses, including irrigation and 

garden watering.’’ 

The options being presented 

to the community were chosen 

in pre-consultation meetings 

with a working party representing 

members of the Akaroa, 

Robinsons Bay and Takamātua 

communities, appointees 

from Ōnuku Rūnanga and Te 

Rūnanga O Koukourārata and 

elected members of the Banks 

Peninsula Community Board 

and city council. The group was 

supported by a team of technical 

experts and city council staff. 

Consultation on the options 

closes at the end of the month.

PLAYING WITH huskies was 

just some of the fun pupils 

from Our Lady Star of the 

Sea had while studying global 

warming. 

The year 5 and 6 pupils have 

been studying the effects of 

carbon emissions and global 

warming on Antarctica. 

During their lessons, they 

got a special treat – going to 

the International Antarctic 

Centre. 

They met some huskies and 

got to ride in a Hagglunds 

vehicle while they were there. 

Meanwhile, year 7 and 8 

pupils have also been busy. 

They visited some early 

childhood centres in Sumner 

to read to the children. 

The senior pupils adopt a 

new entrant each year as part 

of the school’s our buddy 

programme. 

They introduce the new 

entrants to the school and the 

older pupils. 

FURRY FRIENDS: Vincent Miller and Georgie Powell had

Busy C’s Preschool pupils celebrate new home with karakia 

BUSY C’S Preschool 

celebrated its new home last 

week with an official opening. 

The Lyttelton preschool 

moved to the old St Joseph 

School on Winchester St last 

month, but a celebration was 

held on Monday with a karakia 

to formally welcome the 

guests and bless the site. 

Preschool owner Caro Davidson 

said they were pleased 

to be on the site and host a 

small celebration. 

Parent Manaia Cunningham, 

of Rapaki and Koukourarata/Port 

Levy, shared a karakia 

acknowledging the past 

and future of the preschool at 

the new site. 

Ms Davidson said it was 

great to be able to acknowledge 

the work of those who helped 

move the preschool and recognise 

their hard work. 

The old school building and 

concreted outdoor area were 

changed to make new learning 

spaces to better suit the needs 

of the preschool. The preschool 

was based at the former Lyttelton 

West School on Voelas Rd.

Dictionaries in schools 

Ferrymead Rotary 

Club member Barbara 

Crooks writes about 

how important hardcopy 

dictionaries in schools are, 

and the value they have 

compared to their online 

counterpart 

IT’S A developing debate – 

dictionaries in traditional 

book form against the ethereal 

internet. It’s a poser that crops 

up each year for Ferrymead 

Rotary members and several 

schools. 

For some years now 

Ferrymead Rotary has supplied 

colourful illustrated dictionaries 

for year 4 children in some local 

schools. 

This year 160 dictionaries, in 

total, were given to Bromley, 

Te Waka Unua and St Anne’s 

schools. Each child is given a 

dictionary to use at school and 

eventually to take home. 

In most schools they are used 

as a class set until the end of the 

year when the children are able 

to keep them. 

The schools say that if the 

dictionaries were given to the 

children at the beginning of the 

year, there would be none in the 

classroom by the end of the year. 

And children who came to the 

school during the year would not 

have a dictionary to work with. 

In spite of the growing lure of 

technology and computerised 

access to information, teachers 

say the book dictionaries are still 

valued and used alongside the 

internet. 

For some children, the dictionary 

will be the first book 

WELL

Ferrymead 

Rotary Club

Bromley, 

and St 

Anne’s 

Schools’ 

year four 

pupils which 

the pupils 

can keep at 

the end of 

the year. 

they have ever owned. 

Ferrymead Rotary hopes these 

dictionaries will help launch the 

children on a lifelong, reading 

journey. 

Ferrymead Rotary is assisted 

in providing the dictionaries by 

the Lorna and Bill Boyd Trust. 

The trust offers all Rotary 

clubs in New Zealand subsidised 

dictionaries to give to low-decile 

schools.

Push to keep cruise ships 

returning to Lyttelton 

National 

List MP Nuk 

Korako writes 

about why 

cruise ships 

should be 

brought back 

to Lyttelton 

Tourism is a key industry in 

the Port Hills electorate. And 

perhaps more than any suburb, 

it is vitally important to Lyttelton. 

Visitors from Canterbury, 

New Zealand and the world enjoy 

coming to Lyttelton to enjoy 

the history, architecture and 

natural beauty of the town. 

Lyttelton has often played a 

key role in the tourism industry 

for Canterbury as a whole as 

well. As the entry point for 

cruise ship passengers, the Lyttelton 

Port boosted visitor numbers 

and tourist revenue in both 

Lyttelton and Christchurch. 

Of course, all that changed 

with the earthquakes. And while 

so much in our city has been 

rebuilt, and the Lyttelton Port 

Recovery Plan is progressing 

well, not enough attention has 

been paid to rebuilding the 

infrastructure necessary to bring 

cruise ships back to Lyttelton. 

I have appreciated the assurances 

from Lyttelton Port Company 

CEO Peter Davie that LPC 

is committed to seeing a cruise 

terminal return to the port. But 

understandably, the Port Company’s 

main focus is on the areas 

that give it the best return. A 

cruise ship terminal has great 

benefits for Lyttelton and for 

Canterbury, but the commercial 

benefit may not match that of 

the port’s core freight business. 

That is why the question of 

rebuilding the cruise terminal 

is not just one for the Port 

Company, but also for the cruise 

ship companies and city council. 

I will also be speaking with the 

relevant Ministers about the 

appropriate level of central Government 

involvement in making 

this happen. 

I know from my own experience 

in the tourism industry that 

if we don’t move quickly to bring 

the cruise ships back to Lyttelton, 

there’s every chance the 

cruise companies will move on 

and it will be harder than ever 

to bring this vital component 

of our tourism industry back to 

town. We need to make sure that 

doesn’t happen, and I am committed 

to doing what I can to 

ensure buy-in from central and 

local government.

SMALL CHANGE 

MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE 

Twice a year we clear the Community Fund collection boxes at 

Christchurch Airport and share the money across the community. 

Kiwi dollars, international currency, small change from your cup 

of coffee, plus a top-up donation from us, all add up for local 

charities and community projects.

wanting to make or maintain changes in their drug and/or alcohol 

use. Two DrugARM staff members (pictured) support clients to use 

art as a way of abstaining from alcohol and drugs. Christchurch

New identification rules 

• By Gary Manch, navigational 

safety officer, Lyttelton 

Pirate’s Corner 

I ALWAYS find it a struggle 

when we change over from long 

summer days to the start of 

autumn. 

When we put our clocks back 

it is the final nail in the coffin for 

summer, and we start the trek 

into winter. 

As Easter approaches – the 

last long weekend before winter 

sets in – I am pleased to report 

that we have had a great summer 

in terms of boating behaviour 

with very few serious incidents 

reported to me. 

Let’s not slack off now. Don’t 

spoil the great record to date – 

be careful, follow the Navigation 

Safety Rules and local bylaws, 

and simply be courteous to other 

boaties out there. 

With the end of the season 

approaching, one thing I would 

like you to plan in over the 

winter is to get your boat upto-date 

to comply with the new 

identification rules put in place 

under the Canterbury Regional 

Council Navigation Safety Bylaw 

2016 part 20. 

To put this in the simplest 

terms, any power boat or jet ski 

that is towed on a trailer, must 

have the registration number of 

the trailer displayed on the vessel 

(letters/numbers to be at least 

90mm in height), visible above 

the water line on both sides 

of the vessel. The registration 

number must be visible to the 

naked eye from a distance of at 

least 50m. 

Any good signwriter will be 

able to supply lettering and, if 

you require it, put them on your 

vessel for you. 

There are some exceptions to 

this – if you have a current MNZ 

or foreign authority number, 

belong to a sporting body approved 

by the Harbourmaster, or 

have the vessel’s VHF call sign 

displayed then you will already 

comply. Or if you are visiting 

Canterbury from another region 

and meet their identification 

requirements, you are all good. 

Read part 20 of the Navigation 

Safety bylaw 2016. This will advise 

you of all the identification requirements 

depending on the type 

and length of vessel you own. 

I strongly suggest you check 

out the whole bylaw at https:// 

ecan.govt.nz/do-it-online/harbourmasters-office/recreationalboating/. 

I am always happy to 

answer any questions you may 

have on this or any other boating 

matter. Best way to find me 

is by email to gary.manch@ecan. 

govt.nz. 

So why so much emphasis on 

getting ID on your boat? Simple 

answer: while 99 per cent of you 

out there are great boaties and 

comply with the rules, the onr 

per cent who don’t need to be 

identified so we can take appropriate 

action to ensure everyone’s 

safety. Having an identification 

system allows enforcement officers 

to follow up complaints and 

take appropriate action against 

the person offending, be it by way 

of education or other stronger 

measures such as fines. 

Anecdotally, where identification 

is in place, good behaviour 

increases. It’s a no-brainer really. 

Readers respond to a story 

in last week’s Bay Harbour 

News about freedom 

camping still being a 

problem in Lyttelton 

Gill Hubert – “There are 

insufficient sites for campers to 

go,” Mr Maynard said. Are you 

kidding me? Go to the many 

campgrounds in and around 

Canterbury. Bludgers. 

Jackie Richardson – So 

put up a block of facilities. Toilets, 

coin showers, and kitchen. 

More tourists more money. 

Sally Cammock – At least 

it’s in or near the bin. 

Pamela Neil – Make it illegal 

or stop whinging. 

The first stage of the 

Rapanui-Shag Rock 

Cycleway, which will 

run from Ferrymead to 

the central city, has to 

be re-done because the 

concrete laid was not up 

to standard 

Kel Mitchelle – You had 

one job. 

Maria Quinney – Shocking, 

get it right. 

Karene Smith – Please 

build these as pedestrian and 

shared cycleways. Some already 

built are absolutely impractical. 

Sawyers Arms Rd/Main 

North Rd has high kerbs and 

encroaches into parking and the 

left turning lane. Stupid. Also 

trucks on Sawyers Arms Rd will 

be more prevalent carrying volumes 

of materials to sites for the 

Northern Motorway construction. 

Cyclists here no way. 

Steve Burge – The whole 

city is a joke with these so called 

town planners. Look at St Asaph 

St, better off being one lane, at 

least it would flow better.

I love travel- to enjoy different cuisine, 

culture, history, scenery, people and their 

language. You feel a sense of richness of a 

culture, especially accessing places that are 

so remote and untouched. Sports games are 

a highlight of most of my holidays as well as 

exploring national parks!

Beekeeper’s bid to 

sting rivals in rally championship 

GOVERNORS BAY’S Chris 

McLean is about to take on the 

NZ Rally Championship in 

the Ford Fiesta he has spent all 

summer preparing. 

McLean, 21, and navigator 

Sarah Brennan, 25, of Christchurch, 

will take on New Zealand’s 

best rally drivers starting with 

the Rally of Otago this weekend, 

followed by five further events 

during the year. 

The young rally driver grew up 

in Governors Bay and spent much 

of his youth with a pair of skis 

under him. In summer, he’s on 

the harbour and, in winter, he’s 

on the snow. 

McLean was introduced to rallying 

when he worked at Magnum 

Motorsport, where he learnt about 

the workings of car preparation 

and caught the rally bug. 

Now a beekeeper, McLean is a 

rookie in the NZRC this year and 

will compete for the two-wheeldrive 

and junior NZRC titles. 

McLean has so far competed in 

a handful of South Island events, 

but has already been noticed as 

someone with strong potential in 

the sport. 

He was selected to receive training 

with Hayden Paddon. He received 

tutoring from Paddon and 

John Kennard, along with fitness 

and media trainers. McLean and 

Brennan have also both received 

some financial help from the Paddon 

Foundation. 

While McLean is new to the 

championship, navigator Brennan 

has had several years in the NZRC 

and has won the 2WD title twice 

navigating for Christchurch’s 

Hamish Anderson. 

“Sarah brings really valuable 

experience,” said McLean. “She 

knows what she’s doing calling 

pace notes, but also how all the 

procedures work. Having been to 

these events before means Sarah 

will be a huge help in my NZRC 

rookie year.” 

The 2005 Ford Fiesta McLean 

now owns has a big history. The 

car launched the career of 2015 

NZRC champion Ben Hunt, who 

drove the car in 2009 as part of a 

scholarship. 

“The car is older but proven, 

READY: 

McLean and 

Brennan begin 

their NZRC 

campaign 

this weekend 

in the 

Otago Rally. 

PHOTOS: 

EUAN 

CAMERON 

AND SARAH 

FAULKNER 

and we have put in a lot of new 

parts to ensure it should run reliably 

all season,” said McLean. 

The team plan to compete in at 

least five of the six rounds in this 

year’s championship. The team is 

assisted by a lot of Christchurch 

people, including James Marshall, 

who helps with the mechanical 

work and provides some specialist 

parts. Jeff Judd and the team at 

Magnum have also provided help 

and encouragement, while Tony 

Gosling of Stadium Finance has 

provided some support. 

“We hope to make the podium 

in 2WD, but we will be up against 

a lot of good drivers in good cars, 

many of whom have a lot more 

experience than us,” said McLean. 

”If we can get on the podium 

regularly then that will be a win 

for us.”

Sumner look for 

improvement 

against Sydenham 

• By Gordon Findlater 

SUMNER WILL look to showcase 

what they displayed in the first 

15 minutes of last week’s opening 

round game when they play 

Sydenham on Saturday. 

After suffering a 14-20 loss to 

Christchurch at the weekend, 

Sumner will go for their first win 

against Sydenham at Hospital 

Corner. 

Coach Martin Dodgson called 

the side’s opening round defeat in 

the Hawkins Cup an “honourable 

loss” but is hopeful his side has 

learnt from their scoreless second 

half. They surrendered a 14-10 

half-time advantage. 

“I was ecstatic with our defence. 

We had our chances to win it, but 

overall I was really happy with the 

guys attitudes,” said Dodgson. 

“It’s really clear [what] we need 

to work on this week to get better, 

and I believe we will be on 

Saturday.” 

Sumner was dominant in the 

first half against Christchurch, 

scoring two converted tries in the 

opening 15 minutes. They were 

also one misguided pass away 

from a third just before the break. 

Sydenham opened their 

campaign by defeating Linwood 

43-22. 

SOUTHSHORE’S ARI Graham 

continued her strong season by 

winning the female category at 

Sumner’s Sea2Sky Challenge on 

Sunday. 

The 18-year-old is seen as one 

of the next big hopes in the sport 

and recently won the national 

junior series. 

First to finish in the men’s 

event was Mike Phillips, who 

also won last year’s inaugural 

race. 

The Christchurch athlete has 

recently stepped up into the 

Ironman distances and looks to 

build on endurance racing over 

the year. 

Phillips, 26, recently tasted 

success at the inaugural Breca 

Wanaka, winning the long 

course event with teammate 

Nick Berry. 

In the last event of the 

Sovereign Tri Series, 450 

Sea2Sky participants 

descended on the Esplanade 

to tackle a variety of triathlon 

events. 

There were more than 

100 first-timers with some 

competitors signing up only 

days before the event. 

The men’s field also included 

Christchurch long distance 

athlete, Dylan McNeice, who 

STAR: Ari 

Graham (left) and 

Mike Phillips won 

the women’s and 

men’s section 

of the Sea2Sky

REAL ESTATE 

Builders executive home in Brookhaven 

14 Ti Rakau Drive, Ferrymead 

Auction: Thursday, 20 April 2017 Unless Sold Prior 

3 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 toilets | 1 living room | 1 dining room | 2 car-garage | Listing # FM5135 

Few opportunities arise like this, where a 

property so well presented and ready to live 

in and enjoy are there for the taking. 

Situated in the quiet neighbourhood 

of Brookhaven, this 3 bedroom home is 

perfect for families, professionals, or those 

wishing to slow down and relax. With a 

design that allows flow as well as privacy, 

the choices are up to you in how you wish 

to live. 

The Kitchen and living are the hub of 

the home...interconnected with plenty of 

space and openness, ideal for entertaining 

or simply catching up at the end of the day. 

With loads of space and light, as well as 

doors that open out to the patio, the living 

area lends itself to large groups or quiet 

moments. The master bedroom boasts 

late afternoon and evening sunshine, and 

with its own ensuite and double wardrobes 

has all the bells and whistles. The other 

two double bedrooms have great storage 

and also offer a connection to the garden 

outside. Other internal features include a 

large double internal garage with auto door 

opener, a spacious laundry with amazing 

storage, and a main bathroom with both 

bath and shower. 

Outside, the first thing you notice is 

the privacy, provided by established trees 

and clever layout. The garden has been 

thoughtfully planted, and being easy care 

including a large lush lawn, the focus is on 

enjoyment not toil. 

Local life includes a wonderful park and 

playground 50 metres away, and with only 

a couple of minutes drive to Ferrymead 

including supermarket, hardware store, 

restaurants, amenities and The Tannery in 

Woolston, there is little need to go further 

afield. A short drive to Redcliffs, Sumner, 

Lyttelton and even the Central City means 

that you are located in the best place to take 

full advantage of the best of Christchurch 

including multiple schools depending on 

your needs.

War Cry 

by Wilbur Smith 

The next gripping Courtney family adventure from perennial 

bestseller and fan favourite Wilbur Smith. 

In a triumphant return to his much-loved Courtney series, Wilbur 

Smith introduces us to the bravest new member of the famed 

family, Saffron Courtney. 

Saffron grows up on a sprawling Kenyan estate, under the watchful 

eye of her father, prominent businessman and distinguished war 

veteran Leon Courtney. Her childhood is idyllic, until a family tragedy forces 

her to grow up much faster than necessary. As she grows into a spirited teenager, 

her thirst for knowledge and adventures leads her to England, where she finds 

herself inevitably drawn into the heart of the gathering storm in the lead-up to World 

War II. 

Gerhard von Meerbach is the privileged and idealistic younger brother of Konrad 

von Meerbach, heir to an industrial fortune, and vocal supporter of the Nazi Party. 

Gerhard struggles to stay true to his principles in an increasingly cruel world. His 

friendship with a Jewish man places him in danger, and forces him to take a 

stand against the forces of evil that have overtaken his country and his family. But, 

unknown to him, he is caught in a trap that could cost him everything he holds dear. 

As the Second World War looms over them all, Saffron and Gerhard’s worlds collide 

– but will there be more to unite them than tear them apart? 

A love story in the time of heroes, War Cry is the latest breathtaking episode in 

Wilbur Smith’s epic account of one beloved family. 

Breaking Ranks 

by James McNeish 

Three distinct stories about three distinct men, but with one thing in common - they 

all paid the price for standing up for what they believed. 

From a great writer, three great stories about conscience and consequence. This 

is the story of three men - a doctor, a soldier and a judge. They are men of rare 

achievement. The doctor has the gift of saving others but not himself. The soldier 

disobeys orders and abandons his command post in a bid to die with his men. The 

judge cares more to uphold a principle than save himself from ruin. All three defy 

convention in a way that exacts a price. The first two, Dr John Saxby and Brigadier 

Reginald Miles, destroy themselves. The death of the judge, Peter Mahon, is 

hastened by his stand for truth and justice on behalf of the victims of New Zealand’s 

worst air disaster. “New Zealand seems to have the knack of neutralising those who 

try to foist moral greatness on their countrymen,” James McNeish writes. In Breaking 

Ranks, the author celebrates three brave men whose guiding spirit - subversion? 

anarchy? - challenges our assumptions of what it is to be a good New Zealander.

This is the first publication of 

this notice. 

The weekend of 8th& 9th April is Steam Scene’s 

Annual Steam Extravaganza at McLean’s Island 

Road. The day is full of working demonstrations 

where approx. 25 traction engines and steam 

vehicles will be involved in working displays 

of sawmilling, sheep shearing, road making, 

threshing, water pumping, blacksmithing and 

stone crushing. 

There will be a number of traction engines visiting Christchurch for the first time 

as well as the 2 Showman’s engines from the UK. They will return to the UK after 

this Event. A steam train will be taking people on free rides. The Steam Museum 

will be running its many stationary steam engines. The steam is generated from a 

large wood fired boiler and for family fun they can watch the huge model railway 

run. Food and drink stalls will be on hand for refreshments. Plenty of off road 

parking. 

Gates open 9 am with final demonstrations at 3 pm on both days. There is no 

working Eftpos on site and no dogs permitted. People can get up close to the 

machines and experience what it was like to operate such vehicles in the old days 

as well as the sounds and smell generated by them. 

A miniature train is running with rides costing $2. 

The major working displays are in covered areas and will be staggered throughout 

the day making it easy to see how big shiny driving rods and flywheels are linked 

together to turn steam into power.
