MATES: Vajin Armstrong won the 62km race at the Tarawera Ultra Marathon, finishing just 17sec ahead of training partner Chris<br />
Dunell. Earlier the pair were affected by a mischievous act which cost Armstrong 5min.<br />

Mischief-makers and great sportsmanship<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
SUMNER RUNNING Club’s<br />
Vajin Armstrong almost had<br />
his run in the 62km race, at the<br />
Tarawera Ultra Marathon, end<br />
in disaster after being duped by<br />
mischief-makers.<br />
Armstrong won the race in<br />
a time of 5hr 36min. However,<br />
his time should have been much<br />
faster. With just over 2km left to<br />
run he had a lead of approximately<br />
5min. The 37-year-old then<br />
took a wrong turn in Rotorua<br />
because arrows and flagging on<br />
one intersection of the course had<br />
purposely been shifted.<br />
“I ended up in an archery<br />
range. There was actually a competition<br />
going on and I soon realised<br />
this didn’t look like where<br />
the course should be going,” said<br />
Armstrong. •Turn to page 19<br />

concerns<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
RESIDENTS concerned with the<br />
maintenance of Sumner’s public<br />
spaces, including overflowing<br />
rubbish bins, will meet with city<br />
council staff tomorrow.<br />
It comes after a public meeting<br />
last week, where a group of 30<br />
Sumner residents met to discuss<br />
how to resolve long-standing concerns,<br />
particularly about rubbish<br />
collection.<br />
Representatives from the Sumner<br />
Community Residents’ Association,<br />
Sumner Adopt-a-Patch<br />
project, Sumner Business Group<br />
and Esplanade Gardening Group<br />
presented at the meeting.<br />
The residents’ association<br />
will raise its issues of concern<br />
tomorrow at a meeting with<br />
city council staff and Linwood-<br />
Central-Heathcote Community<br />
Board member Darrell Latham.<br />
They include what penalties<br />
might be levied on contractors<br />
who fail to empty rubbish bins<br />
as scheduled; the frequency of<br />
bin emptying throughout <strong>2018</strong>;<br />
maintenance of public gardens<br />
and lawns, and whether the<br />
Adopt-a-Patch project can work<br />
with the city council to improve<br />
public places.<br />

NOT A bad sports yarn on the front page<br />
today.<br />
Vajin Armstrong won the Tarawera Ultra<br />
Marathon at the weekend but it was full of<br />
drama and great sportsmanship.<br />
Armstrong led by 5min with 2km to go when he took a wrong<br />
turn, courtesy of someone who had mischievously changed<br />
the course signs. He had to backtrack to the course, where<br />
he bumped into his good mate and training partner, Chris<br />
Dunnell, who had been a distant second.<br />
They ran the last 2km together and in a piece of<br />
sportsmanship, or commonsense, when they got to the home<br />
straight he told Armstrong the race was his on the basis he had<br />
been well ahead when the wrong turn was taken.<br />
Great stuff.<br />

Van Asch move not ruled out<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
THE BOARD of Sumner’s van<br />
Asch Deaf Education Centre is<br />
refusing to rule out a relocation<br />
and subsequent land sale.<br />
The combined van Asch and<br />
Kelston Deaf Education Centre<br />
board of trustees chairwoman<br />
Rachel Douglas said since 2012,<br />
the board had been<br />
considering the<br />
“long-term future<br />
location” of the<br />
van Asch operation.<br />
Rachel<br />
Douglas<br />
However, that<br />
process was currently<br />
on hold<br />
while the board<br />
“explores its new strategic<br />
goals,” Ms Douglas told <strong>Bay</strong><br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> News.<br />
There are currently 11 students<br />
in residence at van Asch’s<br />
Truro St campus in Sumner.<br />
Parents and caregivers were sent<br />
a letter on January 22 outlining<br />
seven goals developed at the end<br />
of last year.<br />
They included “an exciting<br />
new development which is the<br />
board’s intention to create one<br />
new organisational structure to<br />
deliver a more efficient service<br />
nationwide. Having a national<br />
structure will allow us to make<br />
the best use of our buildings and<br />
properties.” Asked whether the<br />
relocation of the van Asch centre<br />
was being considered as part<br />
of that, Ms Douglas said she did<br />
not know at this stage.<br />
“We only have questions, not<br />
answers, at the moment on that.<br />
I can’t rule anything in or out<br />
. . . that’s honestly where we’re<br />
•Thirty one students attend<br />
van Asch Deaf Education<br />
Centre DEC provisions at<br />
Wharenui School, Hillmorton<br />
High, Hagley Community<br />
College and at its Sumner<br />
campus.<br />
•It supports 896 students<br />
throughout the South Island<br />
and North Island.<br />
at. I’m not even trying to hide<br />
anything.”<br />
“At the moment, we are looking<br />
at the service delivery and<br />
then we’ll look at the property to<br />
go with it. So it’s to be based on<br />
the children’s needs first.”<br />
The board was looking at one<br />
new national structure. “We<br />
don’t know how that’s going<br />
•It employs 89 staff.<br />
•It is one of two centres<br />
which provide deaf education<br />
services in New Zealand for<br />
more than 2000 students.<br />
•Redcliffs School has operated<br />
out of the van Asch campus<br />
since the middle of 2011 but<br />
is expected to relocate to<br />
Redcliffs Park late next year.<br />
to look yet and we don’t want<br />
to pre-empt that because we’re<br />
working through that over the<br />
next 12 months.”<br />
There had been and would<br />
continue to be extensive consultation,<br />
said Ms Douglas. She<br />
emphasised the board did not<br />
have a preferred location. “Our<br />
preference is to focus on the<br />
needs of the children and work<br />
from there.”<br />
Ministry of Education deputy<br />
secretary sector enablement and<br />
support Katrina Casey said no<br />
decisions had been made on the<br />
van Asch school site.<br />
“Discussions with the board<br />
include exploring potential sites<br />
for the core school services,<br />
satellite and resource hubs, and<br />
are ongoing.”<br />
Van Asch principal Bernie<br />
Mulcahy-Bouwman would<br />
not comment on whether a<br />
relocation was being considered,<br />
referring <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News to<br />
Ms Douglas.<br />
Port Hills MP Ruth Dyson<br />
said it would be premature to<br />
speculate.<br />

SCHOOL ROUTE STOPPED<br />
Students travelling to Linwood<br />
College along the Sumner route<br />
will now have to catch the Purple<br />
Line after Red Bus discontinued<br />
its daily school bus service. The<br />
company told the college last week<br />
that the service had been halted<br />
due to low patronage.<br />
NEW BUS SHELTER<br />
There will be a new shelter<br />
installed at the bus stop opposite<br />
Countdown Ferrymead after<br />
the Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />
Community Board gave it the<br />
go-ahead. The current stop at<br />
1008 Ferry Rd does not provide<br />
any protection from the weather.<br />
The city council has agreed to<br />
install one at a cost of $48,000,<br />
which may come down to $36,000<br />
if advertising company, Adshel,<br />

BE IN TO<br />
FINISHED: The new catch bench sits between Sumner Rd and the Crater Rim<br />
Bluffs and is designed to stop falling rocks landing on the road. <br />
Catch bench work completed<br />
WORK HAS been<br />
completed on the catch<br />
bench that has been built<br />
to reduce the risk of falling<br />
rocks bouncing onto<br />
Sumner Rd.<br />
The completion of the<br />
bench excavation is a significant<br />
milestone it marks<br />
the end of stage one of the<br />
multimillion-dollar project<br />
to get Sumner Rd reopened<br />
to the public.<br />
The new catch bench sits<br />
between Sumner Rd and<br />
the Crater Rim Bluffs and<br />
is literally designed to catch<br />
falling rocks before they<br />
land on the road.<br />
“Contractors McConnell<br />
Dowell and their subcontractors<br />
have excavated<br />
about 100,000 cu m of<br />
rock from the slope above<br />
Sumner Rd to create the<br />
catch bench. It stretches<br />
for a length of about 400m<br />
and is 15m wide and 18m<br />
high,’’ said city council<br />
senior project manager<br />
Peter Bawden.<br />
It has taken eight months<br />
to build the catch bench,<br />
which is one of a number<br />
of rockfall protection<br />
measures created along the<br />
route.<br />
“If we get another earthquake,<br />
the intention is that<br />
rocks that come tumbling<br />
down from the bluffs will<br />
land in the catch bench<br />
rather than on the road,’’<br />
Mr Bawden said.<br />
Most of the rock excavated<br />
from the catch bench<br />
has been stockpiled at the<br />
Gollans <strong>Bay</strong> Quarry. Over<br />
the coming months some<br />
of it will be used in other<br />
city council projects.<br />
The next stages involves<br />
repairing and reinforcing<br />
the retaining walls below<br />
Sumner Rd and rebuilding<br />
the road itself. As well as<br />
finishing drainage works<br />
and tidying up the Gollans<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> Quarry area.<br />
Sub-contractors are<br />
starting to work on repairing<br />
a 100m retaining wall<br />
below Sumner Rd, at its<br />
intersection with Reserve<br />
Tce.<br />
The work involves<br />
drilling anchors into<br />
the bedrock behind the<br />
existing wall and installing<br />
new reinforced shotcrete<br />
concrete facing.<br />
Procurement of the<br />
remaining retain walls<br />
packages and pavement<br />
repairs is under way<br />
and the target is to<br />
have Sumner Rd open in<br />
early to mid 2019.<br />

CLEAN-UP: On Monday morning Sumner residents Lesley Murdoch (left) and<br />
Susan Kaschula put in more than eight volunteer hours to clean up and weed<br />
along the gravel walkway next to Scarborough Park on Heberden Ave and the<br />
verge next to the paddling pool. They used the city council’s Snap Send Solve<br />
app to ask if contractors could collect the four large piles of green waste. <br />

Author searches for jetty stories<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
GOVERNORS BAY author Jane<br />
Robertson wants to uncover<br />
the stories behind Lyttelton<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>’s lost jetties.<br />
While writing her 2016 book<br />
Head of the <strong>Harbour</strong>: A history<br />
of Governors <strong>Bay</strong>, Ōhinetahi,<br />
Allandale and Teddington, Ms<br />
Robertson found the section on<br />
jetties particularly intriguing,<br />
prompting her to start a blog<br />
about them.<br />
She is exploring where they<br />
were located, how they were<br />
used and what happened to<br />
them.<br />
A blog was a natural choice<br />
because it meant she could do<br />
things in small chunks, focusing<br />
on one jetty at a time.<br />
“It gives me an organising<br />
framework. I was also keen to get<br />
other people involved – giving<br />
feedback, making comments;<br />
adding their understanding and<br />
knowledge to what I was writing.”<br />
There is only one ‘intact’<br />
jetty at the head of Lyttelton<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>, where once there were<br />
at least seven, said Ms Robertson.<br />
“Before reasonable road<br />
transport – or any roads at<br />
all – the sea was a highway on<br />
which Maori and early European<br />
settlers depended. A jetty<br />
marked the point of transition<br />
between sea and land. It also<br />
denoted settlement, a degree of<br />
permanence.”<br />
However, as is now evident,<br />
jetties are “anything but<br />
permanent,” with Governors<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> jetty the only one that<br />
remains.<br />
There are remnants of abandoned,<br />
decaying jetties scattered<br />
around the harbour.<br />
“Many more have long been<br />
swallowed by the sea,” Ms Roberston<br />
said.<br />
A lot of the early jetties in<br />
places like Charteris <strong>Bay</strong>, Purau,<br />
Cass <strong>Bay</strong> and Camp <strong>Bay</strong>, were<br />
built privately so residents could<br />
get produce to market (primarily<br />
to Lyttelton.)<br />
“Most of the bays at some<br />
point got public jetties built by<br />
the provincial government and<br />
they were also for transporting<br />
produce but also for recreation;<br />
steamers used to ply the harbour<br />
bringing people up to any of<br />
the bays to have a picnic. People<br />
still do that, but basically only<br />
to Quail Island and Diamond<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>.”<br />
HISTORY: Jane Robertson wants to uncover stories behind<br />
Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong>’s lost jetties. The original jetty at Governors<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> (above) was dismantled in 1938 after a boy fishing from it<br />
fell and drowned.<br />

The Wildside Project is a large scale collaboration<br />
of landowners, Christchurch City Council,<br />
Department of Conservation, Environment<br />
Canterbury, and BPCT for the protection of a<br />
variety of endemic, threatened, and iconic species<br />
such as the endemic white-flippered little blue<br />
penguin, the only titi (sooty shearwater) colony<br />
in Canterbury, and yellow-eyed penguin at their<br />
northern breeding range. jewelled gecko, spotted<br />
skink, the Banks Peninsula tree weta and Akaroa daisy (both<br />
found only on the Wildside). The Wildside covers 13,500ha and<br />
focuses on habitat protection, with 25% of the Wildside held in<br />
private or public reserve, and predator control, with over 700<br />
predator traps controlling feral cats, ferrets, stoats, weasels,<br />
and possums used in this extensive trapping programme.<br />
The Tui Project<br />
The Banks Peninsula Tui Restoration group translocated a<br />
total of 72 tui from Maud Island, Marlborough Sounds to<br />
Hinewai Reserve, Banks Peninsula in 2009 and 2010. This<br />
NatureWatchNZ project has been set up to capture the many<br />
observations of tui contributed by people all over Banks<br />
Peninsula and Christchurch since the first release. The vast<br />
majority of observations in the project are made by a small<br />
team of volunteers, who have spent thousands of hours<br />
observing, recording and managing this information over the<br />
last nine years.<br />

Trust’s bid to hook<br />
$500k jetty grant<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
A FUNDRAISING campaign to<br />
repair the earthquake-damaged<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong> jetty is going full<br />
steam ahead.<br />
The Governors <strong>Bay</strong> Jetty<br />
Restoration Trust will put in<br />
an application to the Lotteries<br />
Commission on Monday<br />
for $500,000.<br />
But first it has to<br />
get 10 more planks<br />
sponsored. It needs to<br />
raise a third of the cost<br />
so the commission can<br />
be sure the project will<br />
happen.<br />
The plank sponsorship<br />
drive was helped<br />
recently by trust secretary<br />
Louisa Eades. Her story<br />
about the campaign and her own<br />
involvement was featured in a<br />
women’s magazine.<br />
Ms Eades said her friends<br />
and colleagues were excited.<br />
“In terms of an increase in<br />
donations, I wasn’t sure what to<br />
expect. My guesses ranged from<br />
fizzer to huge success.”<br />
In the two weeks since the<br />
article hit news stands, several<br />
plank sponsors and other donors<br />
have come out of the woodwork,<br />
along with new members including<br />
some from the North Island.<br />
“And the New Zealand Women’s<br />
Weekly has donated $500 to<br />
sponsor their own plank,” said<br />
Ms Eades.<br />
Donors of $500 or more will<br />
have their name etched on a<br />
plaque in the new jetty.<br />
Since fundraising<br />
started at the end of last<br />
year, the trust has raised<br />
or secured $670,802,<br />
including a contribution<br />
from the city council.<br />
Ms Eades had been<br />
“blown away” by the support<br />
and encouragement<br />
Louisa Eades received in that time.<br />
“The campaign has got<br />
off to a fantastic start and is really<br />
picking up momentum, with<br />
some exciting events planned for<br />
this year.”<br />
An exhibition and art auction<br />
is planned for Saturday, June 2,<br />
at the Governors <strong>Bay</strong> Hotel with<br />
items donated by leading local<br />
artists.<br />
Last year the city council<br />
agreed to temporarily sell ownership<br />
of the jetty for $1 to the<br />
trust. The restoration is expected<br />
to cost up to $3 million, with<br />
work set to start next year.<br />

A NEW footpath alongside Moa<br />
Bone Cave is a step closer, with<br />
plans being released last week.<br />
The pathway has been out of<br />
action since the <strong>February</strong> 22,<br />
2011, earthquake rendered it<br />
unusable.<br />
Following pressure from<br />
residents and Redcliffs School<br />
parents, the city council agreed<br />
to reinstate the footpath.<br />
An area at risk of residual<br />
rockfall was fenced off and<br />
extensive risk remediation work<br />
completed.<br />
Now a plan for a new footpath<br />
beside the fence is out for public<br />
feedback, and<br />
the city council<br />
expects to<br />
install it next<br />
month.<br />
Redcliffs Residents<br />
Association<br />
secretary<br />
Pat McIntosh<br />
said it was “delighted”<br />
at news<br />
the footpath was to be restored.<br />
“We are sure local residents<br />
will be very relieved at having<br />
access once more along this side<br />
of the road.”<br />
Heathcote Ward city councillor<br />
Sara Templeton said it was<br />
great to see progress on the issue.<br />
“I’d like to encourage local<br />
residents to get involved and let<br />
the (Linwood-Central-Heathcote)<br />
community board know<br />
what they think of the plans.”<br />
Having the ability to walk<br />
safely around the corner from<br />
Balmoral Hill and McCormacks<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> to Redcliffs was vital for<br />
children, she said.<br />
“Simply scaling and fencing<br />
of the rockfall areas and asking<br />
them to cross at the busy Main<br />
Rd corner in rush hour wasn’t an<br />
option.”<br />
Dr McIntosh said the footpath<br />
would address safety concerns by<br />
reducing the need to cross Main<br />

Teen to ride in US horse competition<br />
SALLY MCPHERSON loves all<br />
things equine.<br />
Now the 17-year-old from<br />
Akaroa has been named in<br />
the New Zealand Team for the<br />
American Quarter Horse Youth<br />
World Cup in Bryan, Texas.<br />
But don’t get it confused with<br />
rodeo.<br />
Think dressage with a western<br />
twist, that’s american quarter<br />
horse, Sally said.<br />
“It’s not rodeo. “It’s very<br />
precise and technical. But it’s<br />
also very colourful and sparkly<br />
unlike the more demure<br />
dressage,” she said.<br />
Sally said there’s a fair bit of<br />
bling involved in the outfits<br />
which are quite heavy from all<br />
the rhinestones.<br />
“Some jackets and tops can<br />
cost tens of thousands of dollars.<br />
Many are specially made for the<br />
competitor and the horses are<br />
also bedazzled,” she said.<br />
Sally and her team will head<br />
to the United States in June to<br />
compete for medals in cutting,<br />
reining, horsemanship, ranch<br />
riding, trail, western riding,<br />
hunt seat equitation, hunter<br />
under saddle and showmanship.<br />
She will have a horse provided<br />
by the organisers.<br />
She’s the only Christchurch<br />
member of the youth team and<br />
Sally said it’s the realisation of a<br />
goal she set herself many years<br />
ago.<br />
“I have been working towards<br />
this for a long time,” she said.<br />
“My aim is to learn as much<br />
as I can and be proud of my<br />
achievements. It’ll be the<br />
best experience and biggest<br />
opportunity yet, to meet others<br />
and compete on the international<br />
stage.”<br />
Sally grew up in a family who<br />
all love horses. Her parents, Ian<br />
and Lindsey are president and<br />
secretary of the Christchurch<br />
Western Riding Association in<br />
Mandeville.<br />
Mr McPherson said he and his<br />
wife have supported Sally every<br />
step of the way in what’s been<br />
a huge commitment over the<br />
years.<br />
“She puts in a massive amount<br />
of work, attending national<br />
competitions in the North Island<br />
and the New Zealand Youth<br />
Development Squad camps four<br />

times a year for two years,” he<br />
said.<br />
Mr McPherson said he is<br />
excited and proud to see<br />
Sally have the opportunity to<br />
compete in the United States<br />
competition, representing New<br />
Zealand alongside 19 other<br />
countries.<br />
Sally will leave for Texas on<br />
June 22. The opening ceremony<br />
for the event will take place<br />
at the Brazos County Expo<br />
Complex on June 29.<br />

Consent for<br />
pathway<br />
on hold<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
THE CONSENT application<br />
for the next section of the<br />
Christchurch Coastal Pathway is<br />
on hold.<br />
It was lodged in December last<br />
year but ECan has given the city<br />
council until Friday to provide<br />
additional information about the<br />
potential effects on coastal processes,<br />
coastal water quality and<br />
ecology, natural character and<br />
landscapes.<br />
They have also asked for further<br />
information on the potential effects<br />
of dewatering and potential<br />
reclamation as a result of the<br />
proposal.<br />
ECan will then decide whether<br />
any parts of the consent application<br />
will be publically notified.<br />
The 760m section from Shag<br />
Rock to the Sumner Surf Life<br />
Saving Club is jointly funded by<br />
the city council and the Coastal<br />
Pathway Group and is expected to<br />
take 12 months to build.<br />
The expected start date is April<br />
this year, however, council manager<br />
planning and delivery transport<br />
Lynette Ellis has said the<br />
start date would be conditional<br />
on any “additional requirements”<br />
identified during the consenting<br />
process.<br />

Our People<br />
Explaining the dangers of rips on<br />
Tech wizard Adam<br />
Hutchinson invents travel<br />
apps but in his spare<br />
time, he makes short<br />
documentaries. His most<br />
recent has been shared<br />
more than 900 times in<br />
10 days. It explains the<br />
dangers of three rips<br />
that exist in Sumner<br />
and Scarborough when<br />
there’s a swell. He<br />
talks to reporter Sarla<br />
Donovan.<br />
What prompted you make<br />
this documentary about the<br />
rips in Sumner?<br />
I occasionally hear the coastguard<br />
siren go off and recently<br />
it’s been going off more than<br />
usual. I don’t understand much<br />
myself about the rips in Sumner<br />
and speaking to a couple of<br />
friends they felt the same. So I<br />
thought community-wide there<br />
was maybe a lack of awareness<br />
and this was a way to provide<br />
information easily. Documentary<br />
making is a project that I do<br />
on the side, a hobby I guess. My<br />
background is actually in IT. I<br />
developed an app in 2011 called<br />
CamperMate, which turned into<br />
a network of GPS enabled apps<br />
called GeoZone collecting GPS<br />
data on tourism flows which I<br />
sold to Tourism Holdings in 2015<br />
and now work for the company<br />
from out here in Sumner.<br />
You must have been gutted to<br />
see a <strong>14</strong>-year-old was lost in one<br />
of those rips just last week.<br />
Absolutely, really terrible<br />
circumstances. It really took<br />
the danger up another level. For<br />
me personally my experience in<br />
rips has not been life threatening.<br />
Every person that I know<br />
who’s been caught in a rip has,<br />
thankfully, been rescued and<br />
it was very sad because it really<br />
escalated the threat in terms of<br />
how severe the consequences can<br />

Sumner<br />
man Adam<br />

about the<br />

actually be. It’s not only awful<br />
for the family but just highlights<br />
the risk again. It’s super sad all<br />
round.<br />
I was surprised watching the<br />
documentary to hear Sumner/<br />
Scarborough could be so dangerous<br />
– I usually think<br />
of Piha and places like that on<br />
the Auckland’s west coast.<br />
Were you surprised?<br />
I sort of was in all honesty. I<br />
knew it was dangerous but again<br />
it wasn’t on the scale of Piha in<br />
terms of just how dangerous it<br />
could be. Put it this way, after<br />
the terrible incident last week<br />
it’s really escalated the threat or<br />
the danger and bought home the<br />
potential consequences of being<br />
in a rip.<br />
Do you think there’s enough<br />
information provided about the<br />
rips along Sumner and Scarborough<br />
beach?<br />
We could do with better signage<br />
to help people understand<br />
the dangers of the rips. We’re<br />
in a fairly unique position in<br />
the fact that the rips in Sumner<br />
don’t change, meaning that the<br />
information we can provide on<br />
the signs can be fairly detailed to<br />
help people understand exactly<br />
where they are in Sumner, as opposed<br />
to generic rip information.<br />
Could you tell me a bit about<br />
your family?<br />
I live up on Heberden Ave, I<br />
bought up there recently and just<br />
love it, love the neighbours and<br />
the community. In my house<br />
there’s my son Max, puppy Nash<br />
and myself. I have a shared office<br />
space above Stoked surf shop.<br />
We’ve got nine people working<br />
there.<br />

two-and-a-half years. That was<br />
a pretty cool experience. Working<br />
at the butcher’s shop was<br />
amazing; it was in a place called<br />
Stavanger which is where the<br />
fjords are and in the fjords they<br />
didn’t have access to fresh meat<br />
so there were a lot of traditional<br />
Norwegian recipes that involved<br />
salting and preserving meat. It<br />

was quite interesting being the<br />
only foreigner who’d worked in<br />
this butcher shop for 175 years<br />
and learning some of these traditional<br />
Norwegian salting recipes.<br />
And what do you get up to in<br />
your spare time?<br />
I like fishing, I go spear fishing<br />
up in Kaikoura quite a lot; some<br />
hunting, diving and surfing that’s<br />
pretty much it. I love to get my<br />
hands dirty.<br />
If there was one thing you<br />
would change about Sumner<br />
what would it be?<br />
That’s a tough one. Perhaps in<br />
an ideal world Bohemian Bakery<br />
would be open on Mondays and<br />
Tuesdays – their food is amazing!<br />

LYTTELTON received an<br />
unexpected visit from a<br />
Japanese peace boat on Sunday.<br />
The ship had been in<br />
Fiordland when it was<br />
discovered it hadn’t been<br />
quarantined.<br />
It made the journey north<br />
and docked at around 11am on<br />
Sunday morning, remaining<br />
until midnight while quarantine<br />
was processed.<br />
It has since returned to Fiordland.<br />
Peace Boat is an international<br />
organisation headquartered in<br />
Japan which promotes peace,<br />
human rights, environmental<br />
awareness and sustainable<br />
development.<br />
The peace boats have been<br />
compared to floating universities<br />
or youth hostels.<br />
Since 1983 there have been<br />
about three journeys a year, offering<br />
educational opportunities<br />
to around 1000 passengers on<br />
board.<br />
They also provide<br />
humanitarian aid at their<br />
various stops and visit local<br />
organisations.<br />
The boat is visiting New Zealand<br />
after a two-week speaking<br />
tour of Australia.<br />

GIFT OF THANKS: Members of the Christchurch-Kurashiki<br />
Sister City Committee, World Peace Bell New Zealand Chapter<br />
and former peace boat staff went aboard to meet the captain<br />
and crew. David Bolam-Smith (back row, third from left) gifted<br />
the captain a framed rimu and paua map of New Zealand on<br />

A BRANCH OF<br />
Nuk shows his romantic side<br />
For Port Hills<br />
National<br />
list MP Nuk<br />
Korako, it<br />
is the little<br />
things that<br />
count when<br />
it comes to<br />
romance<br />
TODAY IS Valentine’s Day<br />
– a day of romance – and<br />
while it may be a little over<br />
commercialised, nonetheless<br />
it is a good excuse to spend<br />
special time with the one you<br />
love and cherish.<br />
For me especially it is 28<br />
years since I met my wife,<br />
Chris, on the Grand Canal<br />
in Venice. I proposed and we<br />
married that same year at<br />
Rapaki.<br />
Over the last few weeks, I<br />
have taken advantage of the<br />
hot weather to be out and<br />
about experiencing some<br />
of the great SummerTimes<br />
festival which the city council<br />
facilitates.<br />
I have particularly enjoyed<br />
the Lyttelton Summerfest<br />
film evenings and am looking<br />
forward to walking the<br />
City2Surf on March 18 with<br />
my family and I hope to see<br />
you along the course.<br />
If you have yourself, or<br />
known someone who has<br />
participated in the Kathmandu<br />
Coast to Coast you will<br />
appreciate the time and effort<br />
that goes into training for this<br />
iconic event.<br />
I have done it twice and<br />
I can honestly say that it is<br />
gruelling, painful and worth<br />
every minute. Congratulations<br />
to everyone who crossed the<br />
finish line at New Brighton<br />
beach or participated at the<br />
weekend.<br />
We are fortunate to have so<br />
many great events and open<br />
spaces in our city and within<br />
the Port Hills.<br />
I think we have the best<br />
beaches, great parks, walkways<br />
ideal for humans and animals<br />
alike, cycleways, cafes,<br />
restaurants, shopping,<br />
weekly markets with<br />
local fresh produce,<br />
exercise facilities, and<br />
some beautiful gardens<br />
to enjoy.<br />
To add to that there<br />
are four sites identified<br />
for a new skate park<br />
in the Ferrymead and<br />
Sumner area and the<br />
city council is asking<br />
for your feedback.<br />
Also there are two<br />
developments that will<br />
add to new Lyttelton<br />
landmarks, one being<br />
Collett’s Corner, which<br />
is progressing thanks<br />
to Ohu Development<br />
which is working with<br />
the community to<br />
create a building that<br />
will be collectively<br />
owned by the<br />
community. And the Lyttelton<br />
Museum site on London St<br />
which is progressing through<br />
the concept design.<br />
Whatever you do this<br />
Valentine’s Day, if there’s one<br />
thing I’ve learnt over the last<br />
28 years, it’s the little things,<br />
the thoughtful things that<br />
count the most.<br />

Hungerford, Henderson<br />
take out Billabong titles<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
TAYLORS MISTAKE surfers<br />
Estella Hungerford and Ava<br />
Henderson both won titles in<br />
the Billabong Grom Series in<br />
Whangamata at the weekend.<br />
Hungerford, 15, claimed her<br />
first national event victory in the<br />
under-16 girls division.<br />
After making it to a finals<br />
berth at the<br />
national championships<br />
in<br />
January, Hungerford<br />
found<br />
herself at the<br />
top of a strong<br />
field of female<br />
Ava<br />
Henderson<br />
surfers in her<br />
division.<br />
However, an<br />
impressive score of 10.8 in the<br />
final secured her the title. She<br />
defeated the North Island contingent<br />
of Ariana Shewry (7.8),<br />
Brie Bennett (7.2) and Georgia<br />
Wederell (4.1) in the final.<br />
Henderson, 12, continued<br />
her good run of form this year<br />
claiming the under-<strong>14</strong> girls division<br />
against Piha’s Liv Haysom<br />
(7.4). Round one winner Natasha<br />
Gouldsbury (7.3) had to settle for<br />
third ahead of Australia’s Carol<br />
Fujino (5) in fourth.<br />
The second of three events in<br />
the Billabong Grom Series was<br />
CHAMPION: Estella Hungerford showed her class to win her<br />
first national event in Whangamata.<br />

held in messy 1-1.5m waves,<br />
with the Coromandel coastline<br />
blanketed by low cloud and rain.<br />
Conditions were far from ideal<br />
but New Zealand’s top junior<br />
surfers battled it out across eight<br />
divisions to secure titles.<br />
The series is split into four<br />
divisions ranging from under-<strong>14</strong><br />
to under 20 in two-year<br />
increments. The final event of<br />
the series will take place at Piha<br />
beach, Auckland, from <strong>February</strong><br />
24-25.<br />
•From page 1<br />
He then backtracked to the<br />
misguiding intersection and<br />
arrived at the same time as<br />
eventual runner-up Chris Dunell<br />
from St Martins.<br />
“He was about to head the<br />
wrong way so I stopped him<br />
and we changed the marking,”<br />
Armstrong said.<br />
You could say, somewhat<br />
luckily for Armstrong, the<br />
man that had now caught him<br />
was a good friend and also his<br />
regular training partner. The<br />
pair completed the last 2km<br />
together before sportsmanship<br />
dictated the 17sec winning<br />
margin.<br />
“Chris being the honourable<br />
fellow he is told me I was well<br />
ahead,” Armstrong said.<br />
“He certainly didn’t kick as<br />
hard as he could have and let<br />
me run away down the home<br />
straight.”<br />
Luckily Armstrong was the<br />
only runner affected by the act<br />
of tomfoolery. Although it added<br />
at least a handful of minutes to<br />
his winning time, he’s remained<br />
upbeat about the interesting<br />
finish to the race.<br />
“It’s an awesome group of<br />
people who do these sorts of<br />
SPORTS<br />
Mischief-makers and<br />
great sportsmanship<br />
events and there’s a real sense of<br />
camaraderie, so that overcomes<br />
anything like this.”<br />
This was Armstrong’s seventh<br />
time competing at the ultra<br />
marathon. However, it was<br />
the first win at the event. On<br />
all previous six occasions he<br />
competed in the 102km race<br />
where he has been on the podium<br />
on four occasions.<br />
The weather in Rotorua also<br />
threw a spanner into the works<br />
for competitors. Persistent rain<br />
in the two days leading up to the<br />
event and on race day meant that<br />
runners had to be conscious of<br />
footing throughout muddy areas<br />
on the trail run.<br />
It was also a busy weekend for<br />
other Sumner Running Club<br />
members competing in two<br />
major South Island events.<br />
In the Coast to Coast<br />
mountain run on Friday, Nathan<br />
Jones came third overall in 3hr<br />
34min.<br />
At the Buller Marathon Lisa<br />
Brignull finished second in<br />
the women’s field in a time of<br />
3hr 12min. Meanwhile, Danny<br />
Carmine, who was running in<br />
just his second full marathon,<br />
finished seventh overall in<br />
57min.<br />
