Great man of the sea
passes on
Well known Redcliffs identity Warren
Pasley, 86, passed away on Saturday.
He had a life-long love of the water.
Sarla Donovan reports
WARREN PASLEY had hands
like paddles, and the feet to
match.
His friends remember his
swimming stroke as beautiful,
effortless but incredibly quick.
Friend of 67 years, Tony
Johnson lived across the road
from the Pasley family, which
shifted from Invercargill when
Warren’s father Eric bought the
Redcliffs Four Square Grocery
Shop in 1950.
The site on Main Rd is
now where the New World
supermarket is.
Warren and his two brothers
Tom and John were prominent
swimmers and the Sumner Surf
Life Saving Club “snapped the
Pasley boys up,” said Mr Johnson,
who was a member at the
club and is now patron.
But the brothers had to bag a
certain amount of sugar, flour
and other dry goods at the shop
each day before they were allowed
out to the beach.
Mr Johnson said the shop
was one of the first to parcel up
goods for self-service, instead of
customers having them weighed
at the counter.
A teenager when he joined the
Oreti Surf Live Saving Club in
Invercargill, Warren competed
as a junior and a senior from
1945-49.
He was also a keen pool
swimmer who held national
intermediate backstroke records
for 100 and 220 yards during
those years.

Key issues
for 2018
include
Coastal
Pathway
and roading
• By Sarla Donovan
THE COASTAL Pathway and
peninsula roading are both key
priorities this year.
Bay Harbour News asked
members of the Banks Peninsula
and Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community boards what were
the key issues in their areas.
Heathcote ward city councillor
Sara Templeton
said finishing
the Coastal
Pathway was a
top priority.
A $10 million
funding
shortfall
remains for the
Sara Templeton
Moncks Bay to
Shag Rock section.
“This is the most difficult and
dangerous section,” said Cr
Templeton.
“It currently has no city council
footpath. There was one prior to
the earthquakes, but the rockfall
and land movement remediation
removed it. The city council
needs to provide both safe
pedestrian access along here
and to complete the cycleway to
Sumner.”

from the editor’s desk
A FITTING tribute on page 1 today for
Warren Pasley.
Warren was very well known in the area
and as Sarla Donovan’s article suggests, sea
water probably flowed through his veins.
His hands and feet were the size of
paddles apparently. No wonder he could propel himself swiftly
through the water, whether it be in the pool or sea.
As well as winning medals in various carnivals and
competitions, Warren also did his bit for the community.
He was an active patrol member with the Sumner surf club,
was part of Community Watch and was a Sumner-Ferrymead-
Redcliffs Men’s Probus Club member.
On page 7, we look at a comprehensive study into who is
harvesting shellfish from the estuary, and other estuary-related
matters. – Barry Clarke

Impact of taking estuary shellfish
Little is known about who
is harvesting shellfish
from the Avon-Heathcote
Estuary and what impact,
if any, this is having on the
sustainability of the beds
and bird feeding grounds.
Environment Canterbury
councillor and Avon-
Heathcote Estuary Ihutai
Trust member Cynthia
Roberts is hoping new
research will shed light
on what’s happening.
Sarla Donovan reports
ANYONE WHO regularly drives
along the McCormacks Bay
causeway can’t help but notice
them.
Groups of people dotted over
the sand at low tide, with their
trousers and skirts hitched up
and buckets nearby.
They are collecting shellfish
from the sandbed and there
seems to be an increasing number
doing it. But how safe is the
practice? And how sustainable is
it? That’s what a research project
aims to find out.
Canterbury University third
year biological science student
Stephanie Hampson has been
brought on board this summer
to try and shed some light on an
area in which there are “gaps in
our knowledge,” admits Cynthia
Roberts.
Both the university and the
Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai
Trust have contributed to the
costs of the summer research
project, which will be supervised
by Associate Professor Islay
Marsden, an aquatic ecophysiologist
from the School of Biological
Science.
Prof Marsden has been a member
of the trust for 10 years and is
currently its chairwoman.
The trust manages the ecological
welfare of the estuary and is
working to update its management
plan, said Dr Roberts.
“As part of that, we realised
there are gaps in our knowledge,
and one of those was shellfish
and harvesting. We’re particularly
interested because you
regularly see people harvesting at
the end of the causeway in spite
of signs saying it’s not healthy – it
is still quite contaminated after
the earthquakes and after high
rainfall.”
The level of contamination
varies, with the signs only put
up when there are concerns, but
Dr Roberts said people continue
even then.
“Signs were up pretty well continuously
during the heavy winter
rains. The estuary is a receiver
for all the contaminants coming
down from rooftops, roads, pathways.
Stormwater carries high
contaminants, such as dog faeces
and so on, and this is the receiving
basin of all the stormwater off
quite a large catchment.”
One of the aims of the plan is
for people to be able to resume
shellfish harvesting, she said:
“But we want to make sure if
they are – they’re not poisoning
themselves.”
Miss Hampson said she was
looking forward to the project.
“I think it will be very interesting.
I haven’t done much social
science and I’m learning a lot
about how people perceive the
environment. A lot of people
know about the bad – like smell,
murky water – but something
like the sea lettuce for example,
they don’t know if it’s good or
bad.”
One of her tasks will be asking
estuary users to complete a questionnaire
including what they are
collecting shellfish for and how
often they come.
There’s also a bit of citizen science
involved. People who have
been regular collectors over the
years may have insight into how
the abundance of shellfish has
changed.
And there’s also the small
matter of the health and density
of the shellfish beds themselves,
and whether harvesting is really
sustainable.
Dr Roberts compares them to
kidneys.
“Wonderful filters of any waterway;
they’re a very important
part of an estuary eco-system.
We want to maintain a healthy
population, so will be doing
RESEARCH:
Dr Cynthia
Roberts on
the mud
flats beside
Mt Pleasant
causeway,
with cockle
shells,
crabs and
barnacles.
some sampling and looking at
the health of those by doing some
quadrant surveys.”
Research will be based at the
end of the causeway but may be
extended to two other sites on the
Southshore side of the estuary.
There has been work done on
the health of shellfish over the
past 30 years, but not in the postearthquake
period.
“We’re intrigued that so many
groups are out there harvesting,”
said Dr Roberts.
“Are they using it for bait?
. . . we don’t know. One of the
things that’s happened around
the country is these things creep
up on us and all of a sudden
we’ve wiped out a whole area of
paua or crayfish and have lost the
ability to replenish it because it’s
too late.
“And we have one of the
biggest populations of godwits
and there are many other
estuary bird feeders such as pied
stilts, spoonbills and herons,
for example – which are very
dependent on the food in the
estuary.
“There could be a trophic
cascade (where an alteration
in the food chain triggers
changes in the ecosystem). Over
harvesting in any environment
could upset the balance.”
Does she think the influx of
people into the city helping with
the rebuild has anything to do with
it?
“The answer to that is one of
the reasons we want to do this
research. I think full stop there’s
been an increase in population
in Christchurch and we have
more people coming in who love
fishing and catching their food.
“This is a lovely, free resource
and there’s all sorts of reasons
people might be out there.
Maybe those people haven’t been
through our school system where
we put such an emphasis on the
environment so it’s part of our
challenge to educate them.”
The research findings should be
published by the end of March.

Kenny Ardouin
Our People
Speech therapy role close to heart
Kenny Ardouin was
born with cleft lip and
palate – the most
common birth defect
in New Zealand. The
26-year-old lives in
Redcliffs and works
as a speech language
therapist. Kenny talks to
reporter Sarla Donovan
about his journey
So what was it like growing
up with cleft palate?
Well, it was certainly a bit
different. I feel it’s taught me a
lot – I’ve learned to be more understanding
of other people and
the things others go through. It
did present challenges, certainly
as I got into the teenage years
and was having to make some
pretty difficult decisions around
a treatment pathway at the same
time as trying to have a normal
teenage life. And interacting
with your peers, feeling like in
new situations you’re on the back
foot because you look and sound
different; people often have preconceived
ideas and unconscious
bias that you’ve got to overcome.
How did your parents help
you with some of those challenges
– they must have been an
important influence?
I grew up in a loving and
supportive environment. My
parents had an expectation that
I would be able to do whatever I
wanted to do and never treated
me differently, but at the same
time acknowledged that things
could be difficult at times. They
also helped with making difficult
decisions, even when I threw
it back in their face. They had
always investigated different
treatment options for me and really
fought my corner, advocated
for me. But when it was time
to made decisions for myself, I
went against what they wanted
me to do, which must have been
incredibly frustrating for them. I
was 16 and couldn’t see the bigger
picture, whereas they could.
But it took three years for me to
see that.
Was this to do with options
for treatment?
Yes, I was having to consider
serious surgery that would happen
at about the age of 18. But I’d
already had nine procedures and
was over it. My parents could
see the surgery would help me
overcome some of the things I
perceived as holding me back
but I couldn’t see beyond the
immediate effects. It wasn’t till
later, when I had a better understanding
of what was involved
and met others who had been
through it and realised what it
would achieve and the impact
it would have – that it would
change the way that I sound and
look and ultimately mean I had
a better perception of myself that
I made the decision to have the
operation.
Why did you become a speech
language therapist?
That was pretty much a direct
result of my own experiences.
As a child growing up I had a lot
of difficulties with speech and
knew how frustrating it was. I
knew exactly what I wanted to
say but couldn’t make myself
understood by other people. So I
had a lot of speech therapy which
had a positive impact on my
quality of life. I wanted to be part
of helping make that change for
other people.
You’ve been CEO of Cleft NZ
and recently returned from
presenting at a national conference
in the United Kingdom.
Have you always been confident
speaking and presenting in
public?
No, it’s something that used to
terrify me. It wasn’t until high
school I started to try and turn
that around when I stood as the
student board of trustees representative
and a big component of
that was speaking in assemblies,
which absolutely terrified me.
But having that role and realising
that what I was saying resonated
with people made me realise
there was a lot of power in people
sharing their experiences – it can

make a big difference to others. I
know for me it was hearing other
people’s experiences that made
my own decisions easier. Knowing
that you’re not alone is a huge
weight off your shoulders.
You also work as a radio show
host on Plains FM – where did
your interest in media come
from?
Radio is something I’ve always
had a natural tendency towards;
it was somewhere I could just be
me and not face any prejudice.
I’ve evolved over the years from
basic music programmes to now
having a deep interest in current
affairs and politics, reporting on
events and meeting and interviewing
people.
You’ve got two younger
brothers – have they been affected
by cleft palate?
I’m the only person in my family
affected by cleft.
So what causes it?
We know that for some people
there is a genetic component and
for others it appears to be quite
a random occurrence. There’s a
generally accepted feeling at the
moment that it’s a combination
of genetics and environment.
How old were you when your
family moved here from the UK?
I was nine when we shifted
from Rye in East Sussex, an hour
south of London. We came out
to New Zealand on holiday the
year before. My parents fell in
love with it and fancied a change
of pace and lifestyle so we moved
here in 2000. It was quite a big
thing, moving to the other side
of the world. We didn’t have any
other family out here. But the
primary school that I went to, Mt
Pleasant, was really good at integrating
us and we quickly made
friends here which certainly made
it a lot easier.
You recently hosted a special
screening of the film Wonder,
based on the best selling book
– why do you think the story
resonates with so many people?
It’s a candid look at many of
the challenges people who are
different may face growing up.
The main character in that book,
like myself, has a facial defect,
which is something you can’t
hide from the world like you can
other health conditions. A lot of
the experiences he goes through
– starting school, having to deal
with bullying, trying to be accepted
and blend in, in a world
he was born to stand out in – it
described a lot of how I felt.
What are your hobbies and
interests?
I really enjoy travelling and
going to new places. I love Wales
and Scotland which is where
my dad and mum are from
respectively – so many country
towns and villages and walks,
places to see – you just need to
go few miles up the road and you
see something new and different.
And I love travelling and hiking
around the South Island, we’ve
got so many vast, remote places.
Where do you see yourself in
five year’s time?
Whatever role I have in the
future I hope that that advocacy
and raising awareness about issues
of equality and bias plays a
big part.

Popular Butler
returns to
arts factory
AFTER A stint around the country
and in London, one of the Lyttelton
Arts Factory’s most popular shows
is back.
From tonight until next Thursday,
The Butler Dresses Again, a
remake of the critically-acclaimed
The Butler will be performed.
Written by author and columnist
Joe Bennett and directed by Mike
Friend, The Butler was performed
113 times in 11 cities throughout
the country. It then went abroad
for 23 shows in London.
Originally inspired by Peter
Greenaway’s film The Cook, the
Thief, His Wife & Her Lover, the
show takes the form of a dinner
party like no other.
“Fans of the original show will
be surprised by The Butler Dresses
Again. The show will stay true to its
origins, but will have more character
and less circus, and will be
fitted to our new dynamic theatre
space,” said Friend.
Several members of the
original cast return, including
Christchurch’s Tom Trevella who
plays the central character of the
Butler. The Butler originally grew
out of Friend’s time working with
the Christchurch Polytechnic
Circo Arts School.
•Tickets will be available
online at: http://www.laf.

VIOLENT: Stellar are set to re-unite for Selwyn Sounds in March at Lincoln Domain.
Right – Jimmy Barnes is part of an extensive array of acts for the March 3 event.
Stellar act for Selwyn Sounds
• By Julia Evans
BOH RUNGA has been busy
with her new jewellery store in
Ponsonby, Auckland.
But on March 3 she’ll be getting
Stellar back together and
heading to Lincoln Domain for
Selwyn Sounds.
The day-long music
festival follows last year’s
inaugural event, which saw
Kiwi music heavyweights the
Jordan Luck Band, Mi-Sex
and Dragon play to a crowd of
about 8000.
Growing up in Hornby
with sister Bic, Runga said she
hadn’t spent much time in the
small town but had been to
several of Lincoln University’s
notorious parties.
“My father went to Lincoln
College but I just went to parties,”
she said.
She’s looking forward to
playing so close to home, she
said “people are always happy
you’ve come to play.”
But Stellar isn’t officially
back together. The March
festival could be a bit of a test,
Runga hasn’t ruled out a full
reunion.
“I’m not sure if we are back
together per se, we are doing
some gigs and we always had
fun doing that. We’ll see where
us hanging out again leads,”
Runga said.
Alongside a reunited Stellar,
fans will get the chance to see
Jimmy Barnes, The Mockers
and The Feelers.
In the meantime, she said if
you’re in Auckland, head down
Ponsonby Rd to Boh Runga
Jewellery: “I’ll probably be
there!”
•Selwyn Sounds will be
held on March 3 at Lincoln
