Images close to former seaman’s heart
• By Sarla Donovan
EIGHTY seven-year-old
John Fenton has laminated
photographs of steamships
including some he worked on
in the 1950s and 1960s and
has created intricate, knotted
macrame frames for them.
He’s hoping to exhibit the images
at the Lyttelton Information
Centre, as a fundraiser for the
rebuild of Lyttelton Museum of
which he is a life member.
The photographs come from
John Farquar’s book Union Fleet
1875-1975 which details the
history of the Union Steamship
Company.
Mr Fenton first went to sea for
them in 1949 as a deck boy on
the TES Wahine, working the
daily steamer-express sailing between
Lyttelton and Wellington.
This was the first Wahine, not
the one that foundered and sank
in Wellington Harbour in 1968.
He stayed with the Union
Steamship Company for 14
years, graduating from deck boy
to able seaman and boatswain.

No action
yet on
Akaroa
wharf
structures
• By Sarla Donovan
THE CITY council is being
blamed for the delay in removing
unlicensed structures from
Akaroa wharf.
Black Cat Cruises was asked
to dismantle signage, seats and
a wheelchair ramp outside their
building in November as they had
been installed on the city councilowned
wharf without appropriate
permission.
But the Banks Peninsula Community
Board heard last month
that the structures remain in
place.
Akaroa Fishermen’s Association
president John Wright expressed
frustration that several months
after the board requested action,
nothing had happened.
Chief executive at Black Cat
Cruises Paul Milligan told the Bay
Harbour News on Friday the delay
is down to the company wanting
to make sure it isn’t breaking
more rules by removing the
wheelchair ramp.
Mr Milligan said they had
sought clarification from the city
council about whether they can
remove the ramp, and were waiting
to hear back.

SPORT CANTERBURY put on a great
night a couple of Fridays ago to honour
the province’s top sports men and women
– from youth to the elite seniors like Tom
Walsh and Sophie Pascoe.
A highlight was the induction of Pat Barwick as a Sporting
Legend. Leaguie Frank Endacott was also inducted.
Today on pages 8/9 reporter Sarla Donovan profiles Pat, who
is one of our very own – she lives in Mt Pleasant.
Pat, of course, is a New Zealand hockey icon, a tremendous
player, coach, and administrator.
She’s one of these people who when she talks, people listen.
She has a way of getting the message across. Sincere, unflappable
and every word seems to count and mean something.

Sumner fruit tree ‘bank’ mooted
• By Sarla Donovan
SUMNER MAN Keith Hay
wants to establish a ‘bank’ of
heritage stone fruit trees in the
suburb.
Mr Hay is a member of the
Sumner Community Gardens,
which in the winter of 2014
planted a ‘food forest’ in the
grounds of Van Asch Deaf
Education Centre, where the old
laundry block was.
The forest idea involves
planting in layers, from larger
trees like pear and plum, down
to smaller dwarf varieties and
bushes such as gooseberry, raspberry
and currant.
After seven years, the forest
should become self-sustaining,
said co-ordinator Kathryn
Newbery.
Mr Hay wasn’t there for the
original plantings but has since
moved into the suburb from
Opawa and is particularly interested
in the fruit trees.
He and his wife had a small
orchard in Opawa Rd and he
grew up on his parents Ian and
Evelyn’s Horotane Valley orchard
during the 1950s and ’60s.
Many of the commercial
varieties they grew have since
disappeared, and he is keen to
re-establish them.
This involves sourcing bud
wood or grafting wood from
plum trees and apricot trees –
particularly those grown commercially
or locally in Horotane
Valley and Heathcote Valley in
the 1940s through to the late
1970s.
They include early Australian
import roxburgh red, moorpark
from England, Californian variety
newcastle, hemkirk, dullins,
royal and steven’s favourite.
Some of these still be bought
in nurseries, he said, but others
are more elusive.
It was the advent of supermarkets
in the 1990s that spelled the
end for most boutique growers
around Heathcote and Horotane,
said Mr Hay.
“They didn’t want the auction
system so when you took fruit in
the auctioneer just said: ‘This is
the price.’ And the supermarkets
preferred long-keeping varieties
like sundrop. If you’ve got a
whole lot of dairies and they buy
one or two cases and sell them
within a day or two then they’re
in to get more each day. But
it’s a different process with the
supermarkets.”
Because they bought in larger
quantities they wanted fruit that
would store well, he said.
“So the old varieties have died
out. Some of them were 70-80
years old or more. And what
didn’t die out they bulldozed.
That’s happened all around New

Zealand and all those old varieties
we knew on (our) orchard
are pretty much gone.”
Ms Newbery said Mr Hay
coming on board at the community
garden had provided
a perfect opportunity to graft
onto the food forest’s existing
root stock and start increasing
the diversity of what was currently
there.
“His background has meant
he brings a lot of expertise to
what we’re doing there; he’s really
helped us with pruning and
taught us to prune more effectively
which has been fantastic.”

Fire rages, homes at risk
SUMMIT RD RESTRICTIONS
A proposal to restrict vehicle
access to parts of Summit Rd at
night has been dropped. It was
prompted by concerns about the
level of anti-social behaviour
and damage in the area. But the
city council last week approved a
hearings panel recommendation
that night-time restrictions do not
proceed.
FIRE PLAQUE PROPOSED
Governors Bay resident Alma
Sturgess has proposed a memorial
be placed on the Port Hills
commemorating last year’s fire.
Ms Sturgess raised the idea at
a recent Spreydon-Cashmere
Community Board meeting. She
said given the first anniversary
of the fires had recently passed,
it would be appropriate to
acknowledge those who suffered
and those who fought the fires,
particularly helicopter pilot Steve
Askin who lost his life doing so.
COTTAGE RESTORATION
Historic Penfold’s Cob Cottage in
Scott Park will be stabilised and
repaired as soon as possible to
prevent further deterioration. The
walls on the road frontage and the
side facing Ferrymead Bridge will
be repaired and restored to the
original pre-earthquake form. The
remaining two collapsed walls
will also be stabilised.

Church Bay
retail project to
seek consent
A RESOURCE consent
application for a proposed retail
complex in Church Bay will
be lodged with the city council
within the next few weeks, a
spokeswoman for planning
consultancy Envivo said on
Monday.
Spence Developments pushed
back the project – originally
proposed as a supermarket and
111-space car park, cafe, cinema
and four shops – by several
months after the community reacted
to the look and size of the
Marine Drive development.
The group had planned to
lodge the resource consent before
Christmas but this was delayed
following some residents’
misgivings about the car park
size, the tilt-slab construction,
and the proposed access points
to the complex.
Corrugated iron, timber or
stone were suggested as alternatives
to the proposed construction
materials.
Envivo spokeswoman Pia
Jackson said she wasn’t authorised
to say whether the
original plans had been altered
in response to the community’s
concerns.
Spence Developments is
wholly owned by Douglas and
Lois Spence of Cashmere.
Remuneration not a factor for
• By Sarla Donovan
FAIRNESS: John McLister spoke out about low pay rates earlier this year, but it hasn’t deterred
five people from standing for election to the board.
LOW PAY rates haven’t served
to dampen interest in local body
politics in Lyttelton.
In January this year, Banks
Peninsula Community Board
member John McLister spoke
out against the population-based
formula used by the Remuneration
Authority to set pay rates
for boards.
The population-based model
means boards in areas with
smaller populations get paid less.
Banks Peninsula’s board members
receive $9527 a year, less
than half the $22,503-$23,742
paid to members of the six city
boards.
But this hasn’t deterred the
five candidates contesting the
seat vacated by Christine Wilson.
Funeral consultant Robyn
Struthers, public sector analyst
Tyrone Fields, Healthy Harbour
chairwoman Yvette Couch-
Lewis, community volunteer
Paul Dietsche and bar manager
Ashley Stanbridge are running
in the by-election triggered by
Ms Wilson’s resignation last
month.
Bay Harbour News asked the
candidates what they thought
of the remuneration – and why
they were standing.
Robyn Struthers she understood
that rates were set using
a population based formula but
didn’t want to comment further.
“To me it’s not an issue; I’m
not standing because of that, I’m
standing for the people.”
She said she could understand
the pay rate may affect some
board members’ decision to
stand again. “I am semi-retired.
I’m in a different position; that’s
not my reason for standing and
for some of the younger ones,
probably it is. But I’m in a different
position and I’ve got time.”
Tyrone Fields said if people
had to take time off work it was
“fair enough” they were compensated.
He was aware the population
based model affected the pay
level: “It’s a bit odd that they’re
out of alignment so you’d probably
want to have a look at the
remuneration packages around
community boards in general.”
Mr Fields said having finished
his Masters in social work, the
by-election seemed like an opportune
time to get involved.

“I’ve only been politically
active for a few years but
I’ve always been interested
and the fact that it’s Lyttelton
is the real clincher
for me. It’s a unique opportunity
to connect with
my home town.”
Yvette Couch-Lewis said
it wasn’t an issue she had
taken into consideration.
“I think community
is important and I think
we’re losing a lot of that,
whether at national or
local level. So instead of
complaining about that, I
might as well get in there,
see if it’s true and do
something about it.”
Paul Dietsche said
remuneration was something
that needed to be
addressed, whether he was
elected to the board or not.
“It’s ridiculous that
board members have to
go great distances in the
area at their own expense
because of the low wage.”
He said if elected, one of
the key things he wanted
to work on was increasing
community engagement
with the board.
“I was looking through
some of the minutes for
the previous six months of
meetings and noted that for

a lot of them there were no
people deputised to speak.
To me that says the public
isn’t very well informed or
engaged with the board.
I think it’s a shame more
people aren’t coming to the
meetings and letting their
concerns be heard.”
Social media was one of
the simplest and cheapest
tools for communicating
with people who weren’t
currently engaged, he said.
Ashley Stanbridge said it
was unfair that the Banks
Peninsula board were paid
less than the city boards,
but he wasn’t standing for
the money.
“I have a job that pays the
bills. It’s about giving a voice
to the younger or less visible
members of the community
that I get to speak with
pretty regularly.”
Mr Stanbridge said
attending fortnightly
full-day meetings wouldn’t
affect his work as he had
flexible hours, though as
the father of a young baby
it would be an extra factor.
“But again, I am raising
a child in this community
so it is in all of our interests
for me to be there.”
Voting papers will arrive
around April 24 and voting
closes on May 16.

Upon marrying his wife Kitty,
Mr Fenton gave up the sea, taking
a job onshore in the rigging loft at
Lyttelton Port.
It was a deliberate choice,
having seen “too many fellas not
sending money home and going
on the booze. I thought well that’s
not for me.”
They share a keen interest in
history, as Mrs Fenton works
at the Sumner Museum several
times a week. Mr Fenton created
the knot board that is displayed
there, showing the many different
types.
And they’re both life members
of the Karamea Museum – that’s
where Mrs Fenton comes from.

COASTAL residents should

The tsunami warning sirens
installed along Christchurch’s
coastline from Brooklands
to Taylors Mistake are tested
twice-yearly to coincide with
daylight saving.
The sirens will sound for up to
3min and can usually be heard a
few blocks from the coastline.
If you live near the coast, the
city council advise it is a good
time to check whether you are
in a tsunami evacuation zone
and to work out a plan with
your family.
In the event of “long or

than a minute or a strong earthquake
that makes it hard to
stand up – then you need to “get
gone.”
If you are required to evacuate,
the city council’s suggested
evacuation route for Redcliffs

Our People
Pat Barwick
Hockey great becomes a Canterbury
Hockey icon Pat Barwick
was inducted into the
Sporting Legends
of Canterbury at the
Canterbury Sports
Awards on March 9.
She talks to reporter
Sarla Donovan about
missing out on Moscow,
developments in
women’s sport, and
impending retirement
It must have been a proud
moment to be named a
Sporting Legend?
Yes, it was humbling and a
lovely surprise. And fabulous
that they had some of my family
down. I didn’t know anything
about it until I walked into
the room on Friday night and
saw my family. Then I knew
something was happening. My
older sister and her hubby came
down from Auckland and my
younger sister from the family
farm in the north of Wanganui.
They stayed for the weekend
so we had a nice long
celebration.
When did you first pick up a
hockey stick?
Not until I was just turning
14. I was in a country school
where we only played rugby
and netball. We had to do both
because we didn’t have enough
boys so we played everything.
There were only 32 at the school
when I was there, that was at
Brunswick School in Wanganui.
So I didn’t really even know
what hockey was. I got involved
with it at high school and it
wasn’t until my second year at
Whanganui Girls’ College that I
was allowed to give up netball.
I could have stopped half-way
through the year but my mum
– quite rightly so – made me
support my team until I finished
the season. The next year I was
allowed to play hockey and I
loved it and within a couple of
years I was doing reasonably
well and continued on.
What are some of the
CAUSAL GARDENER: Pat Barwick, Sporting Legend of Canterbury, at her home in Mt Pleasant.
proudest moments in your
career?
Playing-wise getting into the
national side and captaining it
for most of my playing career.
I remember the match where
we beat England at Wembley
Stadium in 1977 in front of
63,000 people. That was a bit of
a mindblower. Being selected
for the 1980 Moscow Olympics
– though, unfortunately, we
didn’t go in the end. From a
coaching perspective, I had a
pretty successful time taking the
Canterbury women to a number
of titles and then going on to
coach the national team. That
was a real honour and I really
enjoyed the opportunity that I
was given.
What was it like finding
out you wouldn’t be going to
Moscow?
Well it was three weeks before
we were due to leave so it was
pretty gut-wrenching. We had
all the uniforms, all the plans,
everything was ready to go
and then suddenly we weren’t
going anywhere. It was a pretty
sad time for most athletes and
people were pretty upset. I
didn’t remain bitter about it in
later years though some did. I
had the chance to go back as
a coach in Barcelona in 1992
so at least I got to an Olympic
Games but it is different going
as a support person rather than
an athlete – you’re never quite
an Olympian unless you’re an
athlete there.
Hockey looks like quite a
fierce game – what qualities do
you need?
In the past it was a game that
could be played by anyone, any
height, any mobility. But nowadays
on the turf it’s become very
quick so speed is an important
factor. But it’s not the only
thing; you have to have a desire
to learn the skills pretty thoroughly
to be successful because
it is quite a technical game. It’s
demanding when you’re learning
but once you get into it I think
it is a great game in that anyone
can score a goal, anyone can be
part of the whole game – there’s
not too much quiet time so
you’re always involved and that
makes it pleasurable to most
people.
What do you get up to when
you’re not playing/coaching
sport?
I like to be active so I ride my
bike, I play some golf and I’ve
always played a bit of croquet.
I enjoy the garden, I have a big
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
‘casual garden’ as I call it so
there’s always plenty to do there.
Other than that I’ve always
enjoyed supporting Forest and
Bird and am looking to help
somewhere on a project with
them, now that I have a bit of
time.
Sporting-wise, Canterbury
seems to bat above its weight.
What do you put that down to?
There’s still a lot of awareness
and interest in sport here –
the red and black culture is
still strong. We’re not a huge,
million-plus city so we still have
a community feel and I think
when you have that there’s a lot
more cross-code interaction and
support for each others’ sport as
well as the people involved.
I think that sheer interest in
each other is still very strong
here.

Fire rages, homes at risk
sporting legend
I hear the Black Ferns are
getting professional contracts.
Do you feel we’re at a bit of
a turning point in women’s
sport?
Definitely, we always knew it
was about to happen. Women
are the area of sport that are
now making a huge leap in their
performances. The change in
their ability to play more fulltime,
to show that they can
advance their own sport a lot
further than previously. Giving
them (financial) support is
important as it enables them to
play at a higher level for longer.
In doing that it means you
get really good performances
because they’re becoming more
experienced, they’re becoming
more capable, they’re fitter,
faster, and can develop those
characteristics that you need.
You’re seeing a really great move
right now in the development
of the whole women’s sports
field right across the spectrum
and we’ll continue to do that for
another eight or 10 years until
we get to the top of it.
So how much longer before
there’s an equal playing field?
Equal playing field only ever
means money and in the end
it’s about money through the
gate. Until women are able to
attract the same crowds to their
games as the men it’s difficult
to look at the balance of funds
and I understand that. But it
still means for the next eight
to 10 years women need to be
given support to achieve that.
And unless that happens they
probably won’t ever achieve
it. I think the nature of the
games have become really
well-developed in the sense
that the skill level, the physical
capabilities and the athleticism
of women now is certainly
making it more attractive to a
wider public to watch. So maybe
we’ll increase the gates and
they’ll increase the balance of
pay. That’s how it works. But to
me it’s more about how women
can be successful – that’s the
exciting part. The other part, the
professionalism is another whole
LEGEND: Pat Barwick captained the New Zealand hockey
team for nine years from 1971-79. During her tenure, the
team controversially finished third at the 1975 World Cup in
Edinburgh against England as reported in The Press. Two years
later, she captained New Zealand to victory over England at
Wembley Stadium before 63,000 spectators.
cog in the wheel.
You captained NZ in your
first ever match, how did that
happen and what was it like?
It was pretty interesting. I had
captained one team – the NZ
Universities side for a couple
of matches against Australia
a few years before. But other
than that I’d never been a club
team captain or a Canterbury
or Hawkes Bay captain. So it
was a bit of a mind-blower. I
think a lot of it was to do with
the fact I was the centre half
and when you play in the centre
of the paddock you’re fairly
well connected with everybody
across the pitch. At the time
there were still players in the
team that had been away on
previous internationals so I
was quite surprised because
they were more experienced
and good people. I think it was
a positional issue but maybe I
showed a bit more leadership
quality then than I realised.
When did you go from
playing to coaching?
I retired from the national
team in 1980 – that was the year
we didn’t go to the Olympics
and I pretty much retired
straight away. I was still playing
for the Canterbury team and
they asked me to be a player
coach which was unusual at that
level but I did it with the help
of a manager-coach. So I got
into that level pretty quickly. I
had about six good years with
Canterbury hockey and then I
was able to put my name in the
hat for the national side.
Do you see us being world
champions any time soon?
We’ve been in the top four
in the last two Olympic Games
and that’s massive. They’re
a top team and they’ve been
performing extremely well over
the last few years. Getting in the
top four in the world in hockey
is up there and to do it twice
in a row that’s been quite an
achievement.
Do you think the funding for
NZ Hockey is adequate?
I think we’re pretty well
supported by high performance
funding and other agencies.
We have a good foundation
that supports the players and
the teams when they have
to centralise in Auckland.
Our people are centralised in
Auckland, and they train as
much as they can – probably
not quite as much as a fully paid
athlete but they’re still getting
a lot of training. I think we’re
doing about as well as we can
expect at the moment. Certainly
funding is pretty generous on
New Zealand terms, we don’t
have all the money in the world,
we’re a small country and can’t
support everything.
I hear you’re retiring from
your coaching adviser role at
Sport Canterbury?
I’m having my farewell this
afternoon actually, I’m finishing
up today. I’ve had twelve and a
half years here so it’s been one
of my longer terms of work
through my life. It’s a really
enjoyable environment; lots
of passionate people doing
things to help other passionate
people. It’s a great environment
of positivity to walk into every
morning so it makes work easy.
I’ll miss the people. I’m a people
person and enjoy watching them
grow and develop and learn. It’s
the teacher in me as well as the
coach. So personally I will miss
those regular contacts but I’ll be
out doing things.
So what’s the plan this
afternoon?
We’re wrapping up the week
with a bit of a party after work
and I’m going to have a bit of
fun for a few hours so that will
be really nice, a nice casual
send-off.

“We were required to put that
ramp in as part of our building
consent so we don’t want to
appease one arm of the city
council and then upset another.
We would like (clarification)
before we go ahead and

Deputy Mayor Andrew
Turner said city council staff
were “continuing to work
through some of the complex issues
regarding the implications
of removing the structures. I
expect there will be an update
at the next community board
meeting,” he said.
Mr Wright has written to city
council chief executive Karleen
Edwards, as has Akaroa Civic
Trust chairman Mike Norris.
Murray Kiely, a commercial
fisherman in Akaroa for nearly
40 years said it was “all very
tense” due to the length of time
it was taking for action.
He owns a food business on
the wharf, and said it became
very crowded when cruise ships
berthed and put up gazebos for
the passengers.
“When you’re trying to run a
business and there’s busy people
walking on and off, you’ve got
these structures and it makes it
very hard to get up and down
the wharf.”

RSA dedicates gates
IT IS now a little over seven years
since the Sumner/Redcliffs RSA
building was destroyed in the
February 22, 2011, earthquake.
On Saturday morning, members
and friends of the club
attended a ceremony to dedicate
the recently constructed memorial
gates and flagpole at the site
of their former clubhouse on
Wakefield Ave.
Reverend Thomas Brauer conducted
the ceremony, assisted by
Father Dan Doyle.
Sumner/Redcliffs RSA
president Bill Joines spoke and
Royal New Zealand Returned
and Services Association
president B J Clark, Deputy
Mayor Andrew Turner and
district president Royal New
Zealand Returned and Services
Association Stan Hansen were
present.
The gates and flagpole were
erected in memory of fallen servicemen.
A seat commemorates
two former members, Lucy and
Stuart Routledge, victims of the
earthquake and Ian Caldwell
who died on the RSA site the day
of the earthquake.
The Sumner/Redcliffs RSA has
occupied a number of venues
since the earthquakes but has
continued to organise Anzac Day
parades and other commemorative
events. It also supports fellow
members and their families in
times of need.

Stream health declining

Fire rages, homes at risk
Restoring
diversity in
our streams
will take
time, writes
Banks
Peninsula
Water
Management
Zone Joint Committee
chairwoman Paula Smith
MANY OF our Banks Peninsula
streams are not as healthy as
they should be, and ecological
health is declining in some.
This is not good news for our
native fish.
Twenty-four streams on Banks
Peninsula are assessed each year
as part of Environment Canterbury’s
Aquatic Ecosystem Health
programme. When the variable
results were presented to the
zone committee last November
questions arose about why some
streams appeared to be deteriorating,
including streams such as
Waimawete at Allendale (Living
Springs) and Te Wharau in
Charteris Bay, both of which are
now fenced and well vegetated
for most of their length, from
hilltop to harbour.
Each year the zone
committee invests $100,000
of Immediate Steps funding
on Banks Peninsula, mostly
on fencing to exclude stock
and riparian planting along

streams on private land.
Committee members expected
to see improvements in aquatic
ecosystem health in catchments
which are now well protected.
At our recent March meeting
ECan chief scientist Tim Davie
explained what can be learned
by looking at the detailed macroinvertebrate
data.
In both Waimawete and Te
Wharau Streams macro-invertebrate
diversity is very low.
The few species which are
present are those known to be
tolerant of sediment. Many of
the invertebrates you would expect
to find in a healthy stream
cannot survive and reproduce
where there is sediment coating
the stream bed.
Mr Davie concluded that while
the fencing and planting in these
two catchments is likely to be
contributing to a significant reduction
of sediment entering the
streams, it may take some years
before we see the full diversity
of macro-invertebrates typical
of a healthy aquatic ecosystem
restored, especially at the lower
reaches of the streams.

Don’t miss your Easter
treats – order early
The beautiful, plump, hot cross
buns are selling fast at Lyttelton
Bakery, so to make sure you don’t
miss out on these traditional treats
they advise that you place your
order well before Thursday, March
29 – the bakery will be closed over
Easter.
Another “hot” item at the popular
bakery is the Glamour Cake donuts,
which are available weekdays and
Saturdays. With long queues for
these, you need to get there early.
Saturday is a “big day” in
Lyttelton, bakery owner Ian Scott
says, with the market stalls and the
local shops all contributing to the
lively atmosphere.
“Overall, Lyttelton is becoming
much more vibrant. A new bar and
a new café opening this month are
all part of that and we welcome
them to Lyttelton.”
With demand for Lyttelton
Bakery’s wide range of delicious
products also continually growing,
they have had to take on two new
staff members, Ian says.
The huge range of specialty
biscuits, including Dutch biscuits,
are among the items that “fly off the
shelves”, he says.
Customers can also sit down and
relax with some of these tasty treats
and a hot drink in the bakery’s cosy
café.
“We’d like to thank the locals,
and those who come to Lyttelton
for work, for their support of the
bakery – we enjoy being part of this
friendly community,” Ian says.
Lyttelton Bakery is located at 8
Norwich Quay and is open from
6.30am-5pm Monday to Friday
and 7am-2.30pm Saturday. Closed
Sundays and public holidays.

event and many in our Port Hills
communities will be attending
Church services on Good Friday
and Easter Sunday.
Chris and I will attend the
Good Friday service at St
Augustines and then home for
hot cross buns with lashings of
butter with our boys.
In the afternoon we are all
going to Governors Bay School
for the beginning of its 150th
Golden Jubilee Celebrations.

Bus cuts make no sense
On Sunday at 2am we turn our
clocks back an hour as daylight
saving finishes, a time when our
evenings are drawing in earlier
and the days are much cooler.
The upside of autumn is the
vibrant colours as you drive
through the Port Hills and walk
through our many parks. It is my
favourite season.
Beyond Easter if you want to
catch up with family and friends
in Rapaki or Lyttelton, you may
find yourself out of luck.
ECan is proposing cutting
the number 535 from Eastgate
to Rapaki and the 145 bus from
Westmorland to Eastgate. This
news hit the headlines after
ECan announced they would be
dropping six bus routes.
It doesn’t make sense to stop
critical bus services in our community
and I am lobbying for
that not to happen. Lyttelton and
Rapaki are less accessible areas
of Christchurch and many in
our community will be affected
including our schoolchildren,
workers in the central city and
most worrying is the independence
of the elderly and those who
don’t drive.
Submissions are now closed
and I want to assure you that I
am doing all I can to push for a
good outcome for our residents
in the affected Port Hills areas. I
believe this is a serious problem
that will damage the independence
of many people.
Over these next few days
though, relax and enjoy your
time with whanau and friends
and I wish you all a very happy
and safe Easter.

Silver for Green Diamonds
in Oderings garden awards
DIAMOND Harbour School’s
Green Diamonds team received
silver in the Oderings School
Garden Show held at the
Woolston Club recently.
The garden show involved
planning and creating a garden
which represented the theme
‘into the future.’
The Green Diamond’s silver
award-winning entry was based
around sustaining the environment
and recognising and
managing the challenges we
may face in the future.
The team planned their
garden before the show, built
the necessary constructions and
planted up plants. Then, over
two days, the garden was constructed
at the Woolston Club.
Key aspects of the garden
included a living wall
representing Diamond Harbour,
native plants from Banks
Peninsula, a vertical garden
with an automatic watering
system, a bug hotel (bugs will
be an important food source
in the future), a robot that
watered a garden (set off by a
moisture sensor) and a range
of xerophytes (plants that have
adapted for tolerating drought).
The Green Diamonds said
they were grateful to the
Canterbury Horticultural
Society and Oderings for
making the opportunity
possible, along with Magic
Moss, Resene, Intelligro
and Garden Makers and the
Diamond Harbour Reserves
Management Committee which
provided materials and plants to
help create their garden.
INTO THE FUTURE: Molly, Anna, Abby and Otis with their
silver award-winning garden entry.
Great rates,

Kennedy
to run for
NZ Paris
• By Gordon Findlater
SUMNER’S SOFIA Kennedy
will run under one of the world’s
most iconic landmarks when she
represents New Zealand at the
world secondary school crosscountry
champs next week.
Kennedy (below), 17, is part of
the six-strong New Zealand girls
team which travelled to Paris
on Sunday for the event. It will
see more
than 600
runners
from 33
countries
across five
continents
take on a
crosscountry
course
which
runs under
the Eiffel
Tower.
In July,
Kennedy
finished 12th at the NZ
secondary school cross-country
champs. She finished the 4000m
course at the Ascot golf course
in 14min 59sec, which earned
her a spot in the New Zealand
squad to travel to the Australian
schools cross-country championships
in Hobart where she
finished 36th in the under-18
girls division.
What makes the results
remarkable is that Kennedy had
been focusing on basketball at
the time. However, since being
selected to travel to France, she
has turned her attention to running
and is working with coach
Lockie Campbell.
In basketball, Kennedy has
represented Canterbury at age
group level and is a part of the
Canterbury Wildcats training
group this year.
Last year, she was named in
the under-18 national basketball
squad as a non-travelling reserve
for the FIBA under-17 Oceania
championships in Guam.
Kennedy’s race will take place
next Wednesday in Paris.
National call up for Taylors lifesaver
A MAIDEN open grade national
title at the New Zealand Surf Life
Saving Championships has seen
Taylors Mistake lifesaver Louis
Clark selected for the national
youth development squad.
Clark, 16, astounded many
when he won the gold medal in
the open men’s surf race event in
Gisborne last weekend, competing
against much older and more
experienced lifeguards.
As a member of the youth
squad, Clark has the potential
to be selected to represent New
Zealand in the NZ youth team
for the World Surf Life Saving
Championships, which will be
held in Adelaide in November.
Clark also won bronze in the
under-19 surf race, which had a
slightly shorter course. He was
also a member of the Taylors
Mistake taplin team which
ended up winning silver after
holding the lead for three legs of
the six-leg relay.
The taplin relay event is one of
the most prestigious and fiercely
contested races on the nationals
programme. The relay consists
of six team members, two ski
paddlers, two swimmers and two

talent and skill in catching
large waves brought his team up
into the lead spot after his swim
leg. This lead was held until the
end of the very last board leg
where the team was passed by

There was also a gold medal for
multi-talented athlete Georgia

Heathcote celebrate perfect season
• By Gordon Findlater
HEATHCOTE have completed
the perfect season by winning
the senior A one-day, two-day
and combined trophies.
The rare three-peat was
celebrated earlier than
anticipated by the team at their
clubrooms on Saturday due to
the final day of the season being
rained off.
The team also farewelled
three of their longest standing
players.
The three-peat marked the
final season for club legend
John Gary. The 49-year-old has
completed his 18th season with
the senior squad.
Earlier in the season, he
became the first player from any
club to score 10,000 runs in the
metro A competition. He also
holds the record for runs in a
season with 1060.
It was also the final season
for Grant Stewart who took 309
wickets over 13 seasons, and
player coach Shane McConnell.
“It was a really special night for
the club,” said captain Matthew
House.
“We’ve had the same core
for the past two or three years.
It was great to see it all come
together this season.”
In December, Heathcote
captured the one-day trophy
by defeating Lancaster Park
Addington by 38 runs. Since

then they have gone undefeated
in the two-day competition to

of Merivale Papanui on 63.28
points in second.

Confidence
returns with a
Lovebite smile
Dawn, from Pukekohe in Auckland,
couldn’t be more pleased with her new
Lovebite dentures, made by internationally
renowned clinical dental technician,
Richard Greenlees, which have restored
the look of her natural smile, and given
her considerable confidence.
“When we started the process, Richard
asked me to bring in some photographs
of my natural teeth, and put a lot of time
into recreating the exact look. My new
dentures are so much better than the old
sets I’ve had over the last 17 years. I’m
very happy.”
Dawn, who is previously from
Christchurch, flew down from Auckland
weekly over five weeks for consultations
with Richard, and found him to be a ‘good
guy’ to deal with.
“He is very accommodating and easy
going. It was also great to deal directly
He made my teeth look
so natural, real, and a
little bit aged, not like the
sparkly white dentures
everyone else has.
with the person making my dentures.
This was a much better process than with
previous dentures, where I had to pretty
much go with what I was given whether
I liked them or not. Richard was very
patient and is fussy with his work. He
made my teeth look so natural, real, and
a little bit aged, not like the sparkly white
dentures everyone else has.”
Dawn says the return of her confidence
is one of the biggest pluses of her new
Lovebite dentures.
“Losing your teeth is not a nice thing
to go through, and can make you feel
like you’ve lost your personality. My new
dentures have recreated my natural look
and brought my confidence right back
into line.”
Lovebite is located at 402 Montreal
St. Phone (03) 379 1222. Hours 9am-
5.30pm Monday - Friday.
