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 />

Residents<br />

to tackle<br />

council over<br />

rubbish<br />

collection<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

DANGER:<br />

Sumner<br />

man Adam<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 />

ended up staying there for about<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 />

For Port Hills<br />

National<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 />
