Workload, 

pay 

problems 

for board 

• By Sarla Donovan 

THE BANKS Peninsula 

Community Board could lose 

members if pay rates aren’t 

increased. 

A population-based funding 

model means board members are 

paid less than half those on citybased 

boards. 

Banks Peninsula board members 

are paid $9527 compared 

with between $22,503 and $23,742 

for those in the city. 

First time board member John 

McLister said he won’t stand 

again if the status quo remains in 

place. 

And others say that given the 

heavy workload and low remuneration, 

they would have to seriously 

consider whether they put 

themselves forward in the 2019 

local body elections. 

Currently, city council and 

elected board members’ pay rates 

are set by the Remuneration Authority 

in Wellington. 

A recent proposal to shift responsibility 

for deciding pay rates 

onto city councils would allow 

them to better reflect community 

needs and workloads. 

Board chairwoman Christine 

Wilson said she supported the 

idea.

Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi 

get in touch 

from the editor’s desk 

THERE’S trouble at t’mill. 

Well on the Banks Peninsula Community 

Board anyway. 

On page 6 and 7 today, we reveal a 

growing annoyance over the amount of 

money board members are paid compared 

with their counterparts in Christchurch. We also compare 

the amount of time board members put in compared to their 

Christchurch counterparts. And the Banks Peninsula members 

definitely have a point. 

Banks Peninsula members (excluding the chair, deputy chair 

and councillor Andrew Turner) are paid $9527. Members of the 

tion six Christchurch datE] community boards receive between $22,503- 

$23,742. Pay rates are based on population but that could change 

this year as the Remuneration Authority assess the formula. 

The sooner it is changed the better. – Barry Clarke

Marlon Williams 

doesn’t forget about home 

• By Julia Evans 

MARLON Williams has opened 

for Bruce Springsteen, won a 

Silver Scroll, and played Later 

. . . with Jools Holland. 

And that is only the tip of the 

iceberg when it comes to the 

Lyttelton songwriter’s recent 

achievements. 

But in the midst of 

international success, the 

27-year-old hasn’t forgotten 

where he calls home. 

In the music video for 

Williams’ latest single, What’s 

Chasing You, eagle-eyed people 

will spot the New Brighton Pier 

featured in the background. 

The video, released on Friday, 

was shot on South Brighton 

beach by Christchurch filmmaker 

Martin Sagadin. It 

features a swaggering Williams 

who seemingly bullies other 

beach-goers with dance moves. 

Said Williams of his latest 

song title: “It’s an earnest 

question. It’s the only thing I’ve 

ever really wanted to know of 

another human being. Like all 

good questions, it’s childishly 

simple. We all want to live 

inside the fears of the ones we 

BEACH SINGING: Marlon Williams’ new What’s Chasing You 

video was shot on South New Brighton beach. (Right) – the 

cover from his latest album due out next month 

love, if not to dispel them then 

at the very least to understand, 

empathize and let’s be honest, 

compare hands. I’m not 

convinced truly understanding 

another’s woes would really 

bring anyone happiness, but I 

am a nosey boy. What’s chasing 

you?” 

The single is the latest release 

from the now Melbournebased 

songwriter’s upcoming 

sophmore album Make Way for 

Love, which comes out February 

16. The album was written in the 

wake of Williams’ break-up with 

another acclaimed Lyttelton 

songwriting talent Aldous 

Harding. 

“Then I wrote about 15 songs 

in a month,” he recalled. 

Harding’s vocals feature 

alongside Williams on the 

record’s debut single Nobody 

Gets What They Want Anymore. 

A song which tackles the way 

ON THE DOMAIN LINCOLN 3 MARCH 2018 

the pair attempted to navigate 

their separate demanding 

careers until they couldn’t. 

Williams spent three weeks 

tucked away in the port town, 

a few houses down from his 

family home, with Lyttelton 

producer Ben Edwards and 

backing band The Yarra Benders 

working on the record’s preproduction. 

They then flew 12,000km to 

record the album in the United 

States. 

Williams is following the 

release of Make Way for Love 

with a 50 date global tour, 

including a night at The 

Foundry on May 23. Tickets 

avaliable through Ticketmaster.

Buskers in 

our backyard 

Local 

News 

Now 

Fire rages, homes at risk 


A LINEUP of international buskers 

will be performing in Lyttelton’s 

backyard on Saturday as part of the 

25th World Buskers Festival. 

In Albion Square from 10.30am, 

there will be Sharon Mahoney from 

Canada; at 11.20am, Witty Look 

from Japan; 12.10pm, Kilted Colin 

from the United States and at 1pm 

Snap Boogie performs, also from the 

US. 

Festival organiser Melissa 

Haberfield said it was the first time 

performing in New Zealand for all 

except Sharon Mahoney. 

There will be festival staff onsite 

giving out pocket guides for 

the whole festival as well as other 

giveaways. 

Meanwhile, a Lyttelton busker will 

once again feature in the central city 

festival line-up. 

Lyttelton’s famous ‘Rubber Band 

Boy’ Shay Horay (left) holds the 

Guinness world record for 78 bands. 

The 38-year-old is back at the 

festival for the 21st time and says 

after 12 years of stretching rubber 

bands over his face, he still loves the 

routine. 

Does he put them anywhere else 

on his body? “I would never put a 

band anywhere that potentially cause 

injury.” 

He claims to know more about 

rubber bands than anyone else, 

except the guy that makes them. 

Apparently close encounters with 

rubber bands help keep you looking 

youthful. 

“I went to see a plastic surgeon 

and asked if one day I might go 

from looking like a young man to an 

old man overnight. Would my face 

suddenly sag? He informed me that 

these weekly events are very good 

for the face. It’s the same as getting 

a facial massage, it keeps the skin 

flexible and should theoretically 

prevent wrinkles.” 

He loves what he does. “Being 

self-employed for the last 20 years; 

travelling the world....why would 

I want to change that?” You can 

catch Shay Horay in the central 

city performing Rubberband Boy’s 

Greatest Hits, ‘The One Man Band’ 

- a musical instrument powered 

by you guessed it a rubberband - a 

pogostick escape that will blow your 

mind and of course the routine that 

has made him famous worldwide. 

IN TOWN: Kilted Colin and 

Snap Boogie will perform in 

Lyttelton on Saturday.

Dispute looming over pay for 


The Remuneration 

Authority will decide 

if Banks Peninsula 

Community Board 

members will be 

paid the same as 

their Christchurch 

counterparts. If they 

don’t get equal 

pay there could be 

departures. Sarla 

Donovan reports 

FIRST-TIME BANKS Peninsula 

Community Board member 

John McLister is a busy man. 

A father of two young children, 

he fits his board responsibilities 

around a full-time job 

and also chairs the Lyttelton Seafarers 

Centre Charitable Trust. 

Before standing for the board 

in the 2016 local body elections, 

he had coached all the junior 

rugby teams in Diamond Harbour. 

So he’s not without community 

spirit. 

But just over a year into his 

role with the board, Mr McLister 

is calling out a “stupid system” 

of remuneration which assumes 

Banks Peninsula Community 

Board work is less than that 

required in town. 

It is a wrong assumption, 

he said, but one he claims the 

Remuneration Authority refuses 

to alter. 

The city council has raised 

concerns over the way 

community board members’ 

pay was determined 

by population, rather than 

workload, but Mr McLister 

said the authority had 

told him it wouldn’t be 

changing the populationbased 

formula, even 

though it is considering 

other changes. 

Pay rates for the mayor, city 

councillors and community 

board members are currently set

TAKING A STAND: John McLister won’t stand again for the Banks Peninsula Community Board 

unless the pay rate is increased. 

by the Remuneration Authority 

using a population-based model, 

so boards in areas with bigger 

populations get better remuneration. 

It means Banks Peninsula’s 

ordinary board members 

– excluding the chair, 

deputy chair and city 

councillors – receive 

$9527 a year. That is less 

than half the $22,503- 

$23,742 paid to members 

of the six city boards. 

Banks Peninsula 

Community Board chairwoman 

Christine Wilson 

is paid $19,056, while the 

other board chairs earn between 

$45,006-$47,484. 

“That’s all fine if the workload 

of our board is half those of 

the boards in town,” said Mr 

McLister. “But it isn’t. Our meetings 

are as long as theirs, we 

travel more, and have more local 

community association meetings 

to attend. On any measure, our 

board works as hard as 

any board in the city.” 

His argument has 

stemmed from figures 

showing big variations 

in the length of community 

board meetings, 

with Banks Peninsula 

having some of the longest 

and Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

some 

of the shortest. Last year, one of 

the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

meetings, which are held 

Felix Dawson 

fortnightly, lasted just 4min. 

Now the Remuneration 

Authority is proposing to shift 

responsibility for deciding 

councillors and elected board 

members’ pay onto city councils 

to better reflect community 

needs and workloads. 

But a submission on the 

plan, put together by city 

council staff after feedback 

from community board 

members and city councillors, 

said it is not in favour 

of the plan. 

“Councils deciding on 

councillor and community 

board remuneration would 

be problematic and have the 

possibility to cause unnecessary 

tension,” the submission said. 

A random five-month 

comparison of last 

year’s Banks Peninsula 


meetings with city-based 

board, Fendalton- 

Waimairi-Harewood, 

showed a big disparity in 

the length of meetings: 

•Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community 

Board meetings: April 10 

lasted 105min; April 24 

4min; May 8 74min; May 

22 111min; September 11 

42min; September 25 19min; 

October 9 14min; October 

24 60min; November 13 

72min; November 27 33min. 

10 meetings = 7 hours 

•Banks Peninsula 


meetings: April 10 lasted 

315min; May 22 198min; 

May 8 200min; November 

13 219min; November 

27 190min; October 9 

107min; October 30 26min, 

September 11 182min; 

September 25 300min. 

Nine meetings = 32 hours 

“The impact of legislative requirements 

for council decisionmaking 

and public participation 

could make decision-making 

contentious and open councils 

up to unnecessary public criticism.” 

Consultation on the plan 

closed on December 15. The 

authority is considering the feedback 

and aims to have new rules 

in place by the next local body 

elections in October, 2019. 

Mr McLister said he won’t 

stand in those elections if remuneration 

is not improved. 

“It is not just a question of 

money. I want to see a fair deal 

for anyone standing for our 

community board. Reasonable 

remuneration attracts talented 

people from a wide spectrum 

of society. I don’t want to be 

elected because no one else will 

stand. That’s not democracy.”

community boards 

He said a mechanism was 

needed to either improve remuneration 

or reduce the board’s 

workload. 

“The mayor has said she 

wants to delegate more authority 

to boards, but to a board like 

ours that is already working far 

beyond the remuneration that 

we get; why would you delegate 

to us? We have been delegated 

responsibility 

for the Naval 

Point development, 

for instance, 

which is 

a huge thing.” 

Ms Wilson 

said she didn’t 

Pam 

Richardson 

think population 

was a 

fair way to 

determine pay 

rates and she 

supported the Remuneration 

Authority’s proposed changes. 

She said it was too soon to say 

whether she would stand again, 

but the level of remuneration 

would not affect her decision, 

“as this is something I was 

aware of going in to this term”. 


Board deputy chairwoman Pam 

Richardson said as the former 

chairwoman of the Akaroa- 

Wairewa Community Board, 

she had gone “from a high rate 

to a low rate” and she would 

“seriously have to consider” 

whether to stand again next 

time. 

Board member Janis Haley 

said remuneration wouldn’t 

have any bearing on her 

decision to stand again, but it 

might put others off, especially 

younger candidates. “I don’t 

think it’s democratic.” 

Board member Jed 

O’Donoghue said remuneration 

wouldn’t be his only consideration, 

but he was finding the 

time commitment challenging. 

Working full-time as a train 

driver for KiwiRail, last year he 

had to take 20 days of annual 

leave to allow him to attend the 

HUGE: The multi-million dollar Naval Point redevelopment has been delegated to the Banks 

Peninsula Community Board. 

fortnightly seminars and meetings, 

which took an average of 

eight hours. 

“Unless people get paid a 

decent day’s wage so they can 

take leave without pay, it’s more 

or less pushing democracy to either 

the wealthy or the retired,” 

said Mr O’Donoghue. 

Board member Tori Peden 

said she was undecided if she 

would put up her hand for a 

second term. She said although 

she enjoyed the work, nobody 

on the board realised how heavy 

the workload would be. 

“The board have told the authority 

and the city council that, 

should remuneration remain 

what it is, we don’t think anyone 

would stand (in 2019).” 

Board member Felix Dawson 

is self-employed and said it was 

a “financial stretch” to lose a 

day a fortnight. He said the 

lower pay for Banks Peninsula 

board members was unfair. “I 

can’t see how any reasonable 

person would think it’s 

anything but.” 

•The Akaroa-Wairewa Community Board was amalgamated 

with the Lyttelton-Mt Herbert Community Board prior to

communities. 

•Former Lyttelton-Mt Herbert board chairwoman Paula

•Ms Smith said the Lyttelton-Mt Herbert board had

Taylors 

Mistake 

blaze 

concerns 

firefighters 

THE SUMNER Volunteer Fire 

Brigade was called to a large bonfire 

in the Taylors Mistake car park in 

the early hours of Sunday morning. 

The fire – which was close to vegetation 

– was spotted by a resident. 

Chief fire officer Daryl Sayer said 

it was concerning as Christchurch 

is still in a restricted fire season and 

open air fires must not be lit without 

a permit. 

It comes as recent rain has eased 

the fire risk across Banks Peninsula, 

but authorities say it will only take a 

few hot nor’westerly days to push it 

up again. 

“There is still a lot of summer 

to go and conditions can change 

quickly,’’ said Darrin Woods, 

principal rural fire officer for the 

Christchurch/Selwyn Rural Fire 

District. 

“If we get a return to the kind of 

weather we had before Christmas 

when temperatures were routinely 

in the high 20s and early 30s, the 

countryside will very quickly dry 

out, escalating the fire risk. 

“It is important people report any 

fires or smoke to 111 immediately. 

We’re also asking that on hot days, 

particularly when it’s windy, people 

take extreme care when doing any 

activities that may produce sparks 

such as grinding, welding or even 

mowing laws on stony ground,’’ said 

Mr Woods. 

A restricted fire season has been 

in place across the region since the 

start of December. This means people 

must apply for a permit if they 

want to light a fire in open air. 

Anyone who lights a fire without 

a permit can expect a visit from 

Fire and Emergency New Zealand. 

They will extinguish any fire that 

does not meet the conditions of the 

restricted fire season.

Upper South Island travel guide 

PLAN YOUR JOURNEY – PICTON TO CHRISTCHURCH 

State Highway 1 (SH1) north of Kaikōura opened to daytime traffic 

in December, restoring the coastal highway link from Picton to Christchurch. 

The re-opening of SH1 gives people two viable options for travel around the 

upper South Island, with the alternate route (via state highways 63, 6, 65 and 7 

through Lewis Pass) remaining a reliable 24/7 option. 

IMPORTANT BEFORE YOU TRAVEL 

Check routes are open and 

get estimated travel times. 

For real-time travel information 

visit www.nzta.govt.nz/p2c 

or freephone 0800 4 HIGHWAYS 

(0800 44 44 49). 

Make sure you allow enough time for your journey, 

whichever route you chose. Unexpected events, such as a crash, 

high volumes of traffic, ongoing wet weather or seismic activity, 

can cause delays. Ongoing roadworks and reduced speed limits 

in places mean that it won’t be possible for you to make up time. 

Be prepared with food, water and a fully charged cell phone.

Do not rely on your GPS or Google Maps - 

things can change at short notice. 

WHAT TO EXPECT ON SH1 

Parts of the road will still be under construction, so there will be some 

unsealed sections, lane closures with Stop/Go controls and speed restrictions. 

There will be night closures (8.30pm – 7am) north of Kaikōura between 

Clarence and Mangamaunu, and between Goose Bay and Peketa in the south. 

Closure points will be monitored 24/7. 

Consider road closure hours before starting your trip and leave enough 

time to be clear of these sections so you can continue your journey. 

The opening hours are subject to adverse weather and seismic activity. If there 

is a lot of rain or another significant event, we may have to close the road for 

short periods of time. 

It’s important to remember the safety of those using the highway, and 

working on it, will always be our top priority. 

WORK HAS RAMPED UP IN JANUARY 

CHRISTCHURCH 

Following the road opening on 15 December, most of the work sites closed down to help 

with traffic flow over the busy Christmas period. 

The work programme is now back in full delivery which will have a significant effect 

on the coastal corridor. 

NZ Transport Agency Journey Manager Tresca Forrester says ‘It’s a balancing act to 

schedule the reinstatement work to have a minimal effect on travel time while also 

ensuring the work gets done. Drivers should now expect it to take at least 5 ½ to 6 hours 

to drive between Picton and Christchurch on SH1 but should allow plenty of extra time 

in case of delays. Check www.nzta.govt.nz/p2c for the latest information.’

* Conditions can 

change any time, so it 

is important to check the 

current status at least two hours 

before you travel and at key route 

decision points.

or freephone 

0800 4 HIGHWAYS 

(0800 44 44 49) 

BE ROAD COURTEOUS 

• No stopping on SH1 within the closure areas 

outside of designated stop bays. 

• Be patient and cautious. Road conditions 

will be unfamiliar to many drivers, 

so a little bit of patience will go a long way. 

• Follow all traffic signs and any instruction 

given by road crew. 

• Obey speed limits to keep all road users safe. 

• Stay focused around rail lines. Expect trains 

at any time. 

• Keep fresh by taking breaks and supporting 

communities on the route.

F45 8 WEEK CHALLENGE 

29 January – 25 March 

Ferrymead, 

Christchurch 

and Wigram 

Ferrymead fitness centre 

offers innovative programme 

Located in the recently opened 

commercial premises on the corner of Ferry 

Road and Waterman Place Ferrymead, 

the F45 Training Ferrymead gym offers 

an innovative fitness programme that is 

creating waves around the world. 

Developed in Sydney by Rob Deutsch, a 

former equities trader, F45, or Functional 

45 minutes, is a team-based HIIT (highintensity 

interval training) workout protocol 

that focuses on motivation, innovation and 

results. 

Franchise owner Marcin Miroslaw, who 

also has F45 franchises in the central city 

(the first in the South Island) and Wigram 

(opening on January 27), says one of the 

key advantages of the F45 concept is that 

participants don’t need to think about what 

they have to do when they come to the gym 

for a workout. 

“The programme is all laid out for 

members and there are two personal 

trainers at each class, who correct people’s 

technique, motivate and encourage them, 

plus there’s the music designed by one of 

the world’s top DJs to keep them pumped,” 

Marcin says. 

Over the 45-minute programme, 

participants proceed round the circuit doing 

short bursts of exercise, with shorter breaks 

in between. Circuit styles are different every 

day and there are more than 30 different 

workouts, combining elements of HIIT, 

Circuit Training, and Functional Training. 

This combination of interval, cardiovascular 

and strength training has been proven to 

be the most effective workout method for 

burning fat and building lean muscle. 

“It’s enjoyable, and it brings results,” 

Marcin says. 

“Workouts change daily and are never 

repeated, and all the workouts are tested by 

the F45 Athletic department to optimise the 

results and experience of the participants.” 

F45 offers several membership options, but 

most people opt for the month-on-month 

membership, with 28 days’ cancellation 

notice, he says. 

“Members have unlimited access to all 

classes and there is no joining or cancellation 

fee.” 

A big part of the F45 programme is the 

eight-week challenge. Run four times a year, 

it is a fantastic way to help people lose weight 

and reach their fitness goals, Marcin says. 

“The F45 eight-week challenge also 

includes nutritional support, shopping 

lists, recipes and daily meal plans and goal 

tracking, which helps people achieve their 

weight loss goals in a much healthier way 

than going on diets. The next eight-week 

challenge starts on January 29. 

“F45 has been established in more than 

30 countries around the world, and since 

coming to New Zealand, it has really taken 

off here. It’s different from other gyms 

as it is a big part of the community, with 

involvement in social events and members 

feeling that they are part of a team. 

“We offer a two-weeks free trial, which 

lets everyone experience F45 and most of 

our classes. The two-week pass is available 

through our website.” 

F45 Training Ferrymead is located at 

Unit 4, 1 Waterman Place. New members

Road ‘madness’ fuels call-outs 

There was bit of madness on the road, but fire 

call-outs were surprisingly quiet, given the dry 

conditions. Sarla Donovan does a round up of how 

fire stations in the bays area fared over the holiday 

period 

THE AKAROA Fire Brigade 

was quiet between Christmas 

and New Year but since then it 

had “gone crazy”, said chief fire 

officer Mark Thomson, with 

about five call-outs last week to 

motor vehicle accidents. 

There has been two 

fatal accidents within 

the past four weeks. 

Motor vehicle accidents 

were on the increase 

as a proportion 

of the brigade’s work. 

Poor judgement, lack 

of knowledge about 

road rules, impatience 

and increasing volumes 

of traffic could all be 

contributing factors, 

said Mr Thomson. 

Only two fire call-outs had 

been taken over the holiday period, 

one a bonfire lit by campers 

trying to stay warm. 

“Everybody’s so aware of the 

risks since the Port Hills fires.” 

The number of call-outs had 

been about normal for the holiday 

period in Little River. 

There was “plenty of madness 

on the road, but luckily we didn’t 

have too much to do”, said Little 

River chief fire officer David 

Irving. 

Motor vehicle incidents made 

up a third of Little River’s 99 

call-outs last year, with fire and 

medical events each making up 

a third. 

The prospect of two new fire 

trucks arriving mid-year was 

something to look forward to, 

said Mr Irving. 

“We’ve probably got enough 

funding for our new support 

vehicle as well, which is due for 

replacement, so it could be a big 

year for us vehicle-wise.” 

Sumner Fire Brigade chief fire 

Mark Thomson 

officer Daryl Sayer said it had 

five call-outs between Christmas 

Day and January 11. 

None were serious, he said, 

adding that it was pleasing to 

see people were letting off fewer 

fireworks than normal. 

The brigade had 88 

call-outs during the 

year. 

Governors Bay chief 

fire officer Andrew Norris 

said 2017 had been 

busier than usual with 

118 call-outs between 

January 1 and December 

31. 

The station averaged 

about 70 call-outs a year. 

Much of that increase 

could be put down to the Port 

Hills fires in February, Mr Norris 

said. 

It had also been a busy period 

since Christmas Day with seven 

call-outs to January 11. 

Three were motor vehicle accidents, 

including a fatal crash 

on Dyers Pass Rd. 

Two were “smoke chasers” 

– calls reporting sightings of 

smoke which turned out to be 

CRASH: The Akaroa Fire Brigade attended multiple vehicle accidents since New Year’s Day, 

including the crash above on January 5, in which no one was injured. 

clouds or dust. One call was 

about a tree that came down 

in strong wind and one was a 

false alarm at the Governors Bay 

Hotel caused by water. 

Diamond Harbour chief fire 

officer Bob Palmer said the station 

had been relatively quiet 

with no fire calls since Christmas 

Day, though there had been

Challenge in May. 

“a few medical calls as usual”. 

Recent rain had dampened 

tinder dry conditions and, on the 

whole, people were 

“pretty fire wise 

these days”, he said. 

Call numbers were 

slightly down on the 

average 100 for the 

year. 

Lyttelton Fire Brigade 

chief fire officer 

Mark Buckley said it 

had been quiet over 

the holiday period 

with only two or 

three minor calls. 

The station fielded 118 callouts 

over the course of the year, 

on a par with previous years. 

“The usual average is between 

110-130. It can be higher or 

lower, depending on weather 

and seismic events.” He 

said about seven brigade 

volunteers were starting 

to train for the annual 

Firefighter Sky Tower Stair 

Challenge in Auckland in 

May, a national fundraiser 

for leukaemia and Blood 

Cancer New Zealand. 

About 150 brigades take 

part, and Lyttelton was 

usually in the top two for funds 

raised, Mr Buckley said, averaging 

about $15,000. 

“We’re really proud of our guys 

that participate in that. We’ve 

got about three members within 

the team that are very passionate 

about what they’re fundraising 

for. They’re very diligent – every 

Saturday they’re along at the Lyttelton 

Farmers’ Market shaking 

the bucket.”

YOUNG GUN: Ava Henderson (above left) won her first national title in Gisborne in the under-14 girls category, while her mum Donna won her second national title 

in the women’s over 40. 

Mother, daughter win on the waves 

• By Gordon FIndlater 

A TRIO of local surfers have 

returned home with titles after 

competing at the national 

surfing championship at 

Makorori Beach, Gisborne, last 

week. 

Taylors Mistake mother and 

daughter, Donna and Ava Henderson, 

had the perfect family 

vacation by both claiming gold 

medals. 

Donna won the women’s over 

40 title with a score of 10.2 in 

the final. She also finished third 

in the longboard category. Her 

daughter Ava, 12, took out her 

first national title by winning 

the girls under-14 section with 

a score of 13.7 to finish ahead of 

Levin’s Natasha Gouldsbury and 

Piha’s Liv Haysom. 

More impressively, Ava also 

competed in the girls under-16 

against much older opposition 

where she held her own. She 

posted the top score of 12.4 in 

the heats before being eliminated 

at the semi-final stage. 

Donna is the founder of the 

Christchurch School of Surf at 

Sumner Beach. 

She has been surfing since 

her early 20s and won her first 

national title at the age of 42 in 

2017. Ava on the other hand has 

now already claimed her first 

national crown at just 12-yearsold. 

Redcliffs resident Lucy Te 

Moananui also claimed a title in 

Gisborne in the women’s over 30 

category. 

She also finished third in the 

women’s stand up paddleboard 

final with a score of 9.97 behind 

Stella Smith from Gisborne 

and Alexis Poulter from Waihi. 

Te Moananui also made it 

to the semi-final stage in the 

longboard. 

There was also success for 

Estella Hungerford, who finished 

second in the women’s longboard 

with a score of 6.83, behind 

Auckland’s Sasha Brownlie. 

Hungerford also finished fourth 

in the girls under-16 final by 

scoring 7.17. 

RIPPING INTO IT: Estella Hungerford (left) finished second in 

the women’s longboard and fourth in the under-16 girls. Lucy 

Te Moananui won the women’s over 30 category and finished 

third in the SUP.

A letter to our community. 

Thank you to our wonderful staff and to all those helping us following the recent devastating fire 

at the GELITA NZ plant in Woolston, Christchurch. 

There were four people on site at the time of the fire and fortunately no one was hurt. 

The fire has caused major structural and electrical damage, primarily in our processing area, and 

the food manufacturing areas of the plant. Our first job is to clean up, now that the fire and 

insurance investigators have given us the go ahead. 

The clean-up operation will include the removal of partially processed beef hide from the site over 

the next three or so weeks. During the removal, there will unfortunately be increased odours at 

some stages of the day. 

We are keenly aware of our near neighbours and will work very hard to keep the impact to an 

absolute minimum. Despite our best efforts, we expect that there will be spikes in odour while the 

partly processed material is treated and removed. It’s a huge job. 

But, once the material is removed, the source of the odour will have been eliminated. 

We are grateful for your patience and understanding while we undertake this work and we 

apologise for any short-term effect this may have on our local community. 

GELITA NZ takes beef hide, a by-product from meat works, extracts the collagen, and turns it into 

gelatine powder for use in a broad range of industries including the food, beverage, health and 

pharmaceutical sectors. 

While the fire has been a major setback for GELITA NZ, the plant was fully insured and our parent 

company has established a support team in Germany to help us through this period of uncertainty. 

Our customers are being serviced by the wider GELITA group while we plan for our future. 

We remain positive. GELITA NZ employs 60 staff and a further 300 indirectly. About three-quarters 

of our high quality gelatine is sent overseas. 

There is no doubt that we face a difficult period but we will continue to work hard for our future.

This sensational property has that instant 

‘fall in love” effect... 

I’m not sure if it is the beautiful expansive 

water view, the private position or simply the 

home? Most likely it’s a combination of all that 

makes this a very special property. 

Modern, stylish and spacious, this home is 

soaked in sun, enjoys fabulous views. 

The home has been quality built, with 

an architectural appeal that will ideally suit 

families and professional couples who are 

seeking something a little different and a lot 

special. 

The property is tucked away, yet offers easy 

access, good off street parking and internal 

garaging. The home itself boasts a versatile 

floor plan, to cater for growing families or 

those who chose to work from home, or 

simply love to entertain. 

Generous open plan kitchen and dining 

plus a separate lounge with a floor to ceiling 

picture window invites the view inside 

dominates the first level and open to a deck 

that provides the ideal spot to soak in the view 

and relax with a wine or good book after a 

busy day. Also on this level is the master suite, 

complete with ensuite and walk in robe. 

Head downstairs and you will find a further 

three bedrooms, all with great storage and the 

main bathroom. 

This property is one that must be viewed to 

appreciate, come and see for yourself. 

I recommend astute buyers enquire for 

further information or for a private viewing

Stretch 

your way back to it 

As we return to our normal daily routines after the holidays you 

may begin to find the odd ache or pain creeping in. 

This is a good indicator from our 

bodies, that the holiday routine 

was somewhat different. Perhaps 

you sit a lot for work and you 

were on the go or, you are normally more 

active and the holiday break was more 

sedentary. Either way the sooner you pay 

attention to these signals the easier it will 

be to deal with it. 

So what can you do to ward off pain 

and stiffness and boost your energy and 

alertness? 10 simple stretching exercises 

at your desk that will release tension from 

head to toe. They take only a few minutes. 

Set the alarm on your cell phone or 

computer to go off every hour to remind 

you it’s time to get up and stretch. 

Just stand up and sit down - no hands 

If you stand up and sit down (over and 

over) without using your hands it can be a 

challenge, do it while you’re on the phone; 

no one will know. 

Shrug your shoulders - to release the neck and shoulders 

Inhale deeply and shrug your shoulders, 

lifting them high up to your ears. Hold. 

Release and drop. Repeat three times. 

Loosen the hands with air circles 

Clench both fists, stretching both hands 

out in front of you. 

Make circles in the air, first in one direction, 

to the count of ten. Then reverse the circles. 

Shake out the hands. 

Point your fingers - good for hands, wrist, and forearms 

Stretch your left hand out in front of you, 

pointing fingers toward the floor. Use your 

right hand to increase the stretch, pushing 

your fingers down and toward the body. 

Be gentle do the same with the other hand. 

Now stretch your left hand out straight 

in front, wrist bent, with fingers pointing 

skyward. Use your right hand to increase 

the stretch, pulling the fingers back toward 

your body. Do the same on the other side. 

Release the upper body with a torso twist 

Inhale and as you exhale, turn to the right 

and grab the back of your chair with your 

right hand, and grab the arm of the chair 

with your left. With eyes level, use your 

grasp on the chair to help twist your torso 

around as far to the back of the room as 

possible. Hold the twist and let your eyes 

continue the stretch see how far around 

the room you can peer. Slowly come back 

to facing forward. Repeat on the other side. 

Do leg extensions 

Grab the seat of your chair to brace yourself 

and extend your legs straight out in front of 

you so they are parallel to the floor.Flex and 

point your toes five times. Release. Repeat. 

Stretch your back with a “big hug” 

Hug your body, placing the right hand on 

your left shoulder and the left hand on your 

right shoulder. Breathe in and out, releasing 

the area between your shoulder blades. 

Cross your arms - for the shoulders and upper back 

Extend one arm out straight in front of you. 

With the other hand, grab the elbow of the 

outstretched arm and pull it across your 

chest, stretching your shoulder and upper 

back muscles. Hold. Release. Stretch out the 

other arm in front of you - repeat. 

Stretch your back and shoulders with a “leg hug” 

Sit on the edge of your chair (if it has 

wheels, wedge the chair against the desk or 

wall to make sure it does not roll). Put your 

feet together, flat on the floor. 

Lean over, chest to knees, letting your arms 

dangle loosely to the floor. Release your 

neck. Now bring your hands behind your 

legs, right hand grasping left wrist, forearm 

(or elbow if you can reach that far), left hand 

grasping the right. Feel the stretch in your 

back, shoulders and neck. Hold. Release 

your hands to the floor again. Repeat three 

times or as often as it feels good. 

Look up to release upper body 

Sit up tall in your chair, or stand up. Stretch 

your arms overhead and interlock your 

fingers. Turn the palms to the ceiling as 

you lift your chin up, tilt your head back, 

and gaze up at the ceiling, too. Inhale, 

exhale, release.
