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.

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.

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.”

Rockfall risk to close cave
In Brief
• By Caitlin Miles
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.

The city council plans to
tidy up the area by removing

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.

LYTTELTON PEOPLE are
offering help to struggling
community centres following last
week’s front page article in Bay
Harbour News.
One community centre has
been closed and another has had
to reduce hours and cut staff just
to stay running.
Lyttelton Youth Centre had to
stop operating its premises and
combine with Lyttelton Community
House Trust, which has
reduced hours and has cut staff
due to funding shortfalls.
The article has encouraged
members of the community to
look at fundraising options for
the non-profit organisations.
Residents have been encouraged
to get in touch with the
Lyttelton Community House
Trust chairwoman Thea Mickell
to discuss fundraising ideas and
options to help support the trust.
Recycling wastewater an option
RECYCLING Akaroa’s
wastewater to keep the area
green is a possibility.
On Monday, the city council
opened up consultation on the
future of disposing the community’s
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

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
fun meeting the huskies as part of the trip.

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

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.

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.

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:

Otago Rally.

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

Challenge

In the duathlon, Flavio Vianna

was pleased with the success
of the event and hopes one
day Christchurch will be
considered as a venue for future
international events.

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.
