Step-sisters catch winning 

waves 

again 

Sumner step-sisters Estella Hungerford (above) and Ava Henderson (inset) both won titles in the Emerson’s South Island 

surfing championships at St Clair, Dunedin, over the weekend. Hungerford followed up her victory in the under-16 girls 

division at the New Brighton Duke Festival of Surfing last month by winning the same section in Dunedin. Henderson 

won the under-14 section in Dunedin, backing up her victory at the Duke Festival. •More results, page 18

crime 

cameras

THE INSTALLATION of Sumner’s 

CCTV crime cameras appears to 

have stalled. 

A Givealittle page was set up to 

raise funds for two surveillance 

cameras following several aggravated 

burglaries in the Sumner area 

last year. 

Set up by a group of concerned 

residents called Safer Sumner, the 

page raised $4005 towards the cameras 

which were purchased at cost 

price from security firm October 

Protection in January. 

The group wanted to install them 

on a lamp post opposite the Sumner 

Surf Life Saving Club on Main Rd 

and contacted the city council for 

permission. 

Since then, the project seems to 

have hit a wall. 

City council transport operations 

manager Ryan Cooney told the 

Bay Harbour News in late January 

the group had been referred to 

the Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board “in order that 

appropriate processes are followed 

i.e. compliance with the Privacy 

Act.”

get in touch 

from the editor’s desk 

THE COMMUNITY has rallied around 

Jonny and Rushani Bowman, owners of 

Lyttelton cafe Rushanis. 

They set up a Givealiitle page earlier this 

year after Jonny had a seizure and they 

couldn’t operate the cafe and it was put on the market. 

The Givealittle page raised just over $7000 to help pay for 

household bills while the couple waited for the cafe to be sold. 

It says a lot for what the community thinks of the couple. 

We reveal on page 3 today the cafe has been taken off the 

market. 

Rushani wouldn’t answer questions when quizzed yesterday: 

“Watch this space. There are a few things happening in the 

background.” 

I reckon they’ll be back in business soon.

ROAD CLOSURES 

Scarborough Rd will be affected 

by night-time road closures from 

today until April 24, to install the 

ultra-fast broadband network. The 

road will close from 7pm to 7am, 

Monday-Thursday. Traffic will be 

allowed through every 30min from 

7.30pm onwards. Day-time delays 

may be up to 10min and no heavy 

vehicles will be permitted unless 

previously arranged. Meanwhile, 

trenching work to install ultrafast 

fibre broadband on Taylors

this weekend. 

MONCKS BAY SLIPWAY 

Work to fix the slipway at Moncks 

Bay is expected to begin in two 

to three weeks time. The city 

council-owned slipway was 

incorrectly installed before 

Christmas and the hinged 

extension was set too high, 

creating a large drop-off that has

POPULAR Lyttelton eatery 

Rushanis is no longer for sale. 

The London St business was 

listed on Trade Me in February 

but owner Rushani Bowman 

confirmed yesterday she was not 

selling. 

She did not want to comment 

further on her plans for the 

business, but said: “Watch 

this space. There are a few 

things happening in the background.” 

The container cafe which 

sold coffee, lunch and takeout 

dinners was closed in January 

by owners Jonny and Rushani 

Bowman after Jonny suffered a 

seizure at work. 

She couldn’t work full-time at 

the business and look after now 

14-month-old Rishi. 

Mrs Bowman set up a 

Givealittle page while the couple 

considered their future. 

It raised $7090 from 68 

donors, helping the Bowmans 

to pay their immediate weekly 

personal bills while they 

were unable to operate the business. 

“It was humbling that people 

cared,” Mrs Bowman said. 

“There are plenty of businesses 

around that things don’t happen 

or don’t work but people rallied 

around us and that made us feel 

like people cared.”

THERE WILL be a new boat 

shed in Moncks Bay by late July. 

Construction on Christchurch 

Yacht Club’s new boat shed in 

Moncks Bay started two weeks 

ago and it expected to take four 

months. 

Caissons

the roadside 

piles have been 

put into the 

seabed, filled 

Trevor Kite 

with concrete and had a steel 

pile embedded inside each one. 

And last week, the seaward 

piles were driven into the seabed. 

The roadside piles are embedded 

between 1.5m and 2.5m into 

the boulder and mud seabed. 

The previous structure was 

built on jetted wooden piles 

about 0.5m deep, but the new 

one has fewer steel piles disturbing 

the seabed carrying greater 

spans of decking. 

CYC shed and boardwalk 

project convener Trevor Kite 

said work is expected to take 

four months. 

“After that stage the public 

will have access to an open deck

The original boat shed was 

demolished in June 2011, after 

suffering damage in the February 

22, 2011, earthquake. 

Its rebuild has been complicated 

by several factors, including 

the Coastal Pathway. 

The deck design includes a 

new 4m wide footpath along its 

full length which will become 

part of the pathway. 

“The city council will connect 

the pathway to this deck at each

track then becomes available for 

road widening or landscaping as

wider than the previous one.

Some $240,000 in funding has 

come from the city council and 

$327,595 from the Coastal Pathway 

project, which will contribute 

to the extra costs associated 

with providing for the pathway. 

The remainder has come from 

grants the club has raised. 

“The club’s plan is for a 

combined boat shed, deck 

and boardwalk that has been 

repositioned seaward to make 

room for the 4m-wide walkway 

that the Coastal Pathway Group 

sort,” said Mr Kite.

Annabel. “I’ve cooked all my life, but I don’t have time for fancy techniques,

The Good Mothers by Alex Perry 

You are born into it or marry in. Loyalty is absolute, bloodshed revered and you kill or go 

to your grave before betraying The Family. This code of omerta is how the ‘Ndrangheta 

became the world’s most powerful mafia. The Good Mothers is the story of the women who 

broke the silence. We live in their buildings, work in their companies, shop in their stores, 

eat in their restaurants and elect politicians they fund. Founded more than 150 years 

ago by shepherding families in the toe of Italy, the ‘Ndrangheta is today the world’s most 

powerful mafia, with a crushing presence in southern Italy, a market-moving size in global 

finance and a reach that extends to fifty countries around the world. And yet, remarkably, 

few of us have ever heard of it.The ‘Ndrangheta’s power rests on a code of silence, omerta, 

enforced by a claustrophobic family hierarchy and murderous misogyny. Men and boys 

rule. Girls are married off as teenagers in arranged clan alliances. Beatings are routine. 

A woman who is `unfaithful’ - even to a dead husband - can expect her sons, brothers 

or father to kill her to erase the `family shame’.In 2009, when abused wife Lea Garofalo 

`disappears’ after giving evidence against her mafiosi husband, prosecutor Alessandra 

Cerreti realises the ‘Ndrangheta’s bigotry may be its great flaw. The key to bringing down 

this criminal empire is to free its women and allow them to speak out and testify. When 

Alessandra finds two collaborators inside Italy’s biggest crime families, she must persuade 

them to cooperate, and save themselves and their children.The stakes could not be higher. 

Alessandra is fighting to save a nation. The mafiosi are fighting for their existence. The 

women are fighting for their lives. Not all will survive.

A Life Less Sugar 

by Amanda Tiffen, Leigh Brown 

THAT BESTSELLING NEW ZEALAND SUGAR BOOK; 

COMPLETELY REVISED & UPDATED 

How many teaspoons of sugar do you consume a day? Amanda Tiffen went from 

30 teaspoons of sugar per day (unknowingly) to 6 teaspoons of sugar per day 

and in doing so lost an astonishing 20 KG. After years of dieting and fighting to 

control her weight, Amanda easily went from a size 16 to a size 8 in 9 months. 

The inspiring story of how an ordinary and busy working mum used information 

from a documentary she had seen on TV and turned that information into her 

reality. She lost 20KG by reducing her sugar consumption, teaspoon by teaspoon, 

and then wrote a runaway bestseller about how she did it. 

Enlisting the help of good friend Leigh Brown who is an amazing cook (something 

Amanda is not!) to create some low sugar, low carbohydrate delicious dishes. The 

recipes are easy to follow with nothing complicated. 

Part memoir, part diet and recipe book A LIFE LESS SUGAR will help you to reduce 

the high sugar content in some of the most common foods that Amanda found in 

her (and maybe your) pantry. 

Young Queen 

The Story of a Girl Who Conquered the World 

by Parris Goebel 

Crazy. Bold. Fearless. Parris Goebel was destined to make her mark. 

Young Queen is the autobiography of a dancer with a dream . . . a young Polynesian 

girl who grew up in New Zealand and went on to conquer the hip hop world. In this 

honest memoir, Parris Goebel shares the extraordinary story of how she went from 

high-school dropout to award-winning dancer, choreographer and video director. 

At just 19, Parris got her big break choreographing for Jennifer Lopez. She has since 

worked with some of the biggest stars in music, including Janet Jackson, Rihanna 

and Justin Bieber, creating his record-breaking video, `Sorry.’ 

A true #girlboss, Parris Goebel is changing the game. 

In these pages, Parris reveals the challenges, fears and obstacles she’s faced on her 

journey and gives fans and readers a backstage look into her life and the lessons 

she’s learned. 

Filled with photos from Parris’s personal collection, on tour and on set, this is a fun 

and inspiring read for anyone with a dream. Empowering and motivational, Young 

Queen has got da juice . . . and you can have it too.

Big swells put Sumner Lifeboat to the test 


SIZEABLE SWELLS resulted 

in a busy past few months for 

the Sumner Lifeboat coastguard 

service. 

Following a quiet end to 

2017 and between Christmas 

and New Year, coxswain Blair 

Quane said call numbers picked 

up markedly with a number of 

operations between January and 

March. 

One call-out on February 1 

involved three separate incidents 

happening at the same time, after 

a big southerly change came 

through and a “massive off-shore 

wind” got several people into 

trouble. 

First a boogie boarder was 

caught in a rip by the station 

headquarters. 

At the same time, a kite surfer 

off Scarborough Beach got into 

trouble and had to release his 

kite which flew off “halfway to 

the Chatham Islands,” said Mr 

Quane. 

“We had to take one of the 

boats out pretty much to the 

horizon to get his kite because 

we kept getting calls from people 

on the hills saying ‘there’s something 

out there that looks like a 

yacht in trouble’.” 

SKILLED: The Sumner Lifeboat headquarters during a recent 

operation. 

Simultaneously, a catamaran 

in the Avon-Heathcote Estuary 

flipped over and everybody on 

board fell out. 

“We were all hands on deck.” 

A week-long search for 

14-year-old Jack Sutton was one 

of the biggest the lifeboat had 

ever been involved in, with 93 

vessels searching from Waimairi 

to Lyttelton Harbour. 

Jack was swept out to sea after 

getting caught in a rip off Sumner 

Beach on February 5. 

His body was found washed 

up on the foreshore on February 12. 

Sumner Lifeboat has about 

40 active voluntary crew, along 

with reserve crew and three paid 

part-time staff members. It costs 

about $200-$250,000 a year for 

wages, crew gear, vessel maintenance, 

fuel and operational 

outgoings. 

The boat can often be spotted 

heading offshore on Tuesday 

evenings – training night. 

“Sumner is quite a unique 

unit for coastguards; it does a 

lot of its work within the surf, 

whereas Coastguard Canterbury 

and Waimakariri-Ashley are 

predominantly offshore or doing 

river work.” 

“We need skippers to be able 

to helm the boat in pretty atrocious 

conditions. A lot of the 

time, if there’s a really big surf

boat in large swells and putting out fires on the breakwater. 

on you’ll see the boat go out and 

spend an hour or so out there. 

The guys are just getting used to 

driving the boat in the surf. Now 

we’re coming into winter so we 

start moving into night operation 

stuff where we’re driving in 

the dark, practising navigating 

into the estuary, being able to 

identify landmarks in the dark 

and use gear like the radio and 

GPS when it’s dark.” 

It takes a year of training 

before a new volunteer can crew 

on a call-out.

Banks Peninsula by-election candidates 


The five candidates vying for a seat on the Banks 

Peninsula Community Board come from a diverse 

range of backgrounds. Here they tell Bay Harbour 

News readers why they should represent Lyttelton 

•Yvette Couch-Lewis – I 

live at Rapaki and my family has 

been part of this community for 

five generations. Since returning 

home 20 years ago, I have 

worked across the environmental 

community in 

the field, as a 

representative 

on different 

community 

groups and 

now at a 

governance 

level. 

For my tribe 

Yvette 

Couch-Lewis 

it is about our 

taonga species 

and water 

quality. At home it is working 

with local government and the 

community for the betterment 

of our catchment. I believe that 

I can make a difference at the 

community board table. 

Over the past 20 years, I have 

developed my skills to enable me 

to contribute towards making 

good decisions that affect our 

environment and community. 

As a representative on the 

Banks Peninsula Community 

Board my goals are to work 

with people who can influence 

and bring about change for 

the betterment of the Lyttelton 

community. To demonstrate a 

leadership role at a governance 

level and enable the aspirations 

of the community outcomes 

to be achieved. And to 

place consideration on the 

community’s social, economic 

and environmental outcomes. 

When our environment is 

healthy so is the community. 

•Paul Dietsche – We are 

very fortunate to live where we 

do and I believe we need to do 

everything we can to preserve 

this place. I would like to see 

greater clarity and transparency 

in community board and city 

council activities and better 

communication between the 

community board and the 

people of our 

region. 

I believe 

we all have a 

vested interest 

in knowing 

what’s happening 

and 

how the decisions 

made 

Paul Dietsche 

through these 

entities will 

affect us all. 

If elected to the community 

board, I plan to make myself as 

available as possible throughout 

the region to listen to people in 

order to find out what they are 

most concerned and interested 

in, as well as encouraging people 

to attend community board and 

city council meetings and speaking 

up about these things. When 

people are not able to attend 

these meetings, then I hope to 

try to speak on their behalf. 

•Tyrone Fields – I’m an 

incredibly proud Lytteltonian. 

I grew up here on Winchester 

St and College Rd as part of a 

family that has lived in the Port 

for many generations. I went to 

school at St Joseph’s, I played 

rugby for 

Lyttelton and 

I captain a 

local football 

team. 

I love the 

town deeply. 

To work for 

Lyttelton 

would be a 

Tyrone Fields 

privilege. I 

believe I have 

the right 

values for Lyttelton, and the 

leadership skills to be a strong 

ELECTION: Five candidates have put their hands up to vie for a seat on the Banks Peninsula 

Community Board 

advocate for the town. 

I will be campaigning on the 

issues that matter to people in 

our community. An adviser in 

the public service, I am currently 

completing a Masters in Social 

Work. Before moving back to 

New Zealand with my wife to 

raise a family, I worked as an 

analyst in London financial 

institutions. 

•Ashley Stanbridge – I 

have been living and working in 

Lyttelton for eight years. Having 

been in Melbourne for the 

last few years, my partner and 

I returned to the port to start a 

family. We and our young son 

enjoy the 

support we 

feel around 

us here in 

Lyttelton. 

I returned 

with fresh 

insight about 

ways a community 

can 

organise 

and come 

together to 

Ashley 

Stanbridge 

enact change. I have a passion for 

small business and community 

engagement. This is engendered 

by my current position where I 

am lucky enough to interact with 

a large number of local residents 

on a daily basis. Through these 

interactions I have a clear picture 

of the range of public opinion 

regarding a number of ongoing 

issues. 

My professional background 

is in business management. I 

believe my experience will help 

me to work effectively with both 

groups and individuals throughout 

the community to find 

solutions to a number of issues 

that affect us all. As an involved 

local resident, I intend to bridge 

the gap that exists between a 

large number in our community 

in Lyttelton and the bays and 

the council that represents us 

by using mechanisms currently 

available as well as initiating new 

channels of communication. 

•Robyn Struthers – I am 

standing to represent Lyttelton 

on the community board because 

I am passionate about our 

community and the exceptional 

harbour environment we live 

and work in. I believe that to represent 

Lyttelton you have to live 

in this unique community. My 

husband Neil and I, along with 

our daughter and grandchild 

live in Lyttelton. As president of 

Rotary and through my involvement 

in the church and wider 

community, 

I’m aware 

of the challenges 

and 

opportunities 

here. Now 

semi-retired, 

I am able to 

give more 

Robyn 

time and energy 

into the 

community 

Struthers 

that I’m proud to be part of, and 

that offers us so much. 

This by-election presents me 

with the opportunity to be a 

strong and accessible advocate 

for local residents and businesses. 

I will bring to the table 

my business experience, my 

knowledge of the local community 

and a confidence to stand 

up for local interests. With Lyttelton’s 

significant growth comes 

great responsibility to manage 

the pressures on infrastructure 

and to protect local amenities 

for residents. I will work hard to 

ensure this progress continues 

in a responsible and sustainable 

way.

Pedestrian walkway idea 

Richmond Hill resident 

Stuart Grant believes 

a walkway on red zone 

land beside Richmond 

Hill Rd would be the 

best way to improve 

pedestrian safety 

The city council is 

looking at the possibility of 

reducing the speed limit on 

Richmond Hill Rd. 

This is in an effort to 

make it safer for pedestrians, 

because there is a 

significant proportion of 

the road that does not have 

footpaths. The reasons 

cited for not addressing the 

footpath issue are “lack of 

space and funding.’’ 

What a lot of the residents 

of Richmond Hill Rd 

would like to be considered, 

is the construction 

of a walkway in the red 

zone land on the left side 

of the road above the 

second hairpin. This would 

go a long way towards 

alleviating most of the 

dangers that pedestrians 

face on the road. 

SUMNER Volunteer Fire 

Brigade chief fire officer 

Daryl Sayer (right) will this 

weekend be acknowledged 

for “chalking up” 25 years of 

service. 

An event is being held at 

the Sumner School hall to 

mark the occasion, where 

Mr Sayer will be presented 

with a gold star for his 

achievement. 

The president of the 

United Fire Brigades’ Association 

of New Zealand 

There is, and will 

continue to be, significant 

development on the upper 

hill area that used to 

be occupied by the golf 

course. 

Nothing has been 

done to accommodate the 

large increase in traffic nor 

to repair the earthquake 

damage that was inflicted 

on the road. There is also 

unsightly temporary fencing 

between the road and 

the red zone 

Apart from local 

residents, the walkway 

could also provide access 

to the World War 2 gun 

emplacements at the top of 

Richmond Hill. 

This could well become a 

significant attraction and 

would be coming up from 

Invercargill and local 

Fire and Emergency New 

Zealand dignitaries will be 

in attendance, along with 

many of Mr Sayer’s whanau 

and family from the North 

Island. 

“I’m looking forward to 

it,” Mr Sayer said. 

He has been the brigade’s 

CFO since June 2014 and 

also owns and operates the 

Redcliffs Pharmacy with his 

wife. 

NEW 

USE: Red 

zone land 

alongside 

Richmond 

Hill Rd 

should 

be turned 

into a 

walkway, 

says 

Stuart 

Grant. 

bring a lot more people 

into the area. 

While I doubt that the 

majority of the residents 

would oppose lowering 

the speed limit, it will not 

significantly address the 

safety issue on the road. 

The poor lighting makes 

for an even more dangerous 

situation for pedestrians 

during the winter 

months. 

I believe that the city 

council should take a 

long-term perspective 

on this matter and make 

the necessary financial 

investment, as they have 

done with the excellent 

earthquake repair job on 

Clifton Hill Rd.

Lyttelton Rotary’s role 

More mossies? 

Lyttelton Rotary Club 

is starting a bi-monthly 

column in Bay Harbour 

News this week. In his first 

column, club member 

Barry Toomey writes 

about some of the recent 

activities in which the club 

has been involved 

ON MARCH 25 we held an Art 

and Craft Fair at the Lyttelton 

Recreation Centre which showed 

a diverse display by many 

talented artists and crafts people 

within the Canterbury region. 

Thank you to Adrienne 

Pavelka for organising this successful 

event. It was good to see 

a variety of people come along, 

including two of our local MPs, 

Ruth Dyson and Nuk Korako. 

We have also had a great 

response to our Easter raffle. 

Thank you to the many people 

who have supported us and purchased 

tickets. 

At the end of 2017, we had our 

annual Christmas raffle with the 

proceeds going towards a new 

oven at community house. The 

Community Carols evening held 

in Albion Square was a great 

success and the club has been 

asked to hold this event on a 

regular basis. Thank you to the 

Lyttelton community for their 

DISPLAY: Port Hills National list MP Nuk Korako with Art and 

Craft Fair organiser and local artist Adrienne Pavelka. 

support with this event. We look 

forward to seeing you all again

CHURCH BAY and Diamond 

Harbour residents are reporting 

a rise in mosquito numbers this 

year. 

Church Bay Neighbourhood 

Association secretary Pat 

Pritchett said she has noticed 

more than usual. “We’ve had 

to shut the windows in the evenings,” 

she said. 

Mrs Pritchett put it down to 

the weather conditions, with the 

heat giving rise to more breeding, 

“although interestingly 

after those two cold days we had 

(recently), there were a lot the 

following day when it came out 

hot again.” She said the insects 

were still biting and it had been 

a topic of discussion at a recent 

book club meeting. 

“One of our friends on the 

road around to Diamond Harbour 

hasn’t had any; she’s been 

able to sit outside. Others said, 

‘well you’re lucky because everybody 

else has them and has been 

complaining about them’.” 

The insects may not be mosquitos, 

she added, as they didn’t 

make a noise like mosquitos 

said. “They’re more like a sandfly.” 

“Sometimes you look down 

as you feel something itchy and 

you can’t even see anything. 

We will deliver! 

And then the bite comes up 

so I don’t know what they are. 

Mosquitos are usually around 

in damp weather and it’s been 

very dry. So whether it’s another 

species 

. . . somebody might know.” 

The issue has attracted comments 

on the Diamond Harbour 

Community Facebook page. 

Said one resident: “They savage 

me when I go in the garden.” 

Another said they had experienced 

“unusually vicious bites.” 

Diamond Harbour Community 

Association president 

Richard Suggate said while he 

hadn’t personally noticed an 

increase in biting insects, he 

wouldn’t discount what others 

had said. 

“The point about seasonal 

warmth and large rain is true. 

We’ve had some late summer 

wet, rainy periods on and off 

and combined with the warm 

conditions that’s probably what’s 

causing it, but I’m no expert on 

mosquitos, I just know that they 

breed in warm conditions with 

water around,” he said. 

•HAVE YOUR SAY: Have 

you noticed a prevalence of 

biting insects this summer 

and what has caused it?

Lyttelton Primary pupils camp out 

CAMPING OUT: 

Nico and Dylan 

at Orton Bradley 

Park where the 

year 7 and 8 pupils 

stayed for two 

nights in tents. As 

well as cooking 

their own food, 

they built rafts, 

went kayaking, 

mountain biking 

and played on 

the mighty high 

ropes and flying 

kiwi – one of the 

highlights of the 

camp. 

SCHOOLS 

Bronnie, Matai and Jasper (below) joined the rest of Lyttelton 

Primary’s year 5 and 6 pupils on a camp at Living Springs. They went 

orienteering, abseiled down rocks and took unexpectedly deep dips 

in the many pools along the way. They also took part in low ropes, 

archery and rifle practice, used the waterslide, mini golf, trampolines 

and the swimming pool and chilled out in their cabins on the 

three-day camp.

How we met 

by Michele A’Court 

BALANCING ACT: On the rope bridge with Isaac, 

Seraphine, Orry, Lucinda and Rose. 

ENTER TO 

WIN 

Stand-up comedian Michele A’Court rekindles the 

passion, with a brilliant collection of ‘How We Met’ 

stories. 

How We Met is based on a collection of ‘How We Met’ 

stories - those lovely stories couples love to tell (and we all 

love to hear) about how they got together. The author’s theory: 

that these stories of how couples meet - the romantic, absurd, serendipitous, 

convoluted, scandalous, breath-taking moments of connection - help to weave 

their lives together. Partly as ‘proof’ that they were meant to begin this couplejourney, 

and also because in each retelling they go back to those first falling-inlove 

feelings and rekindle the passion. 

The theory is based on a hunch, which itself is based on nothing more than the 

author’s observations of watching couples as they talk. Michele then tests her 

thesis out on a neuroscientist and a psychologist, and by the end of the book, has 

some useful things to say not only about how great love starts, but how it stays 

great.

A multi-generational contemporary romantic saga set in a cattle ranch in Central 

Queensland, Australia. 

A man loses five years of his life. Two women are desperate for him to remember. 

Running away for the second time in her life, twenty-seven-year old Ava believes 

the cook’s job at a country B&B is perfect, until she meets the owner’s son, John 

Tate. The young fifth-generation grazier is a beguiling blend of both man, boy and a 

terrible flirt. With their connection immediate and intense, they begin a clandestine 

affair right under the noses of John’s formidable parents. 

Thirty years later, Ava returns to Candlebark Creek with her daughter, Nina, who is 

determined to meet her mother’s lost love for herself. While struggling to find her 

own place in the world, Nina discovers an urban myth about a love-struck man, a 

forgotten engagement ring, and a dinner reservation back in the eighties. Now she 

must decide if revealing the truth will hurt more than it heals...

Sumner poised to make 

strong start to season 

• By Gordon Findlater 

A HEALTHY roster and strong 

numbers at pre-season trainings 

has Sumner coach Martin 

Dodgson excited for the metro 

rugby season which starts on 

Saturday. 

While the team are sure to 

have their eye on a top six spot 

after narrowly 

missing out last 

year, Dodgson 

says the club’s 

focus this season 

is an consistency 

across both the 

division one and 

Martin 

Dodgson 

division two 

teams. 

Unlike many 

other clubs in the Christchurch 

competition, Sumner have adopted 

a combined squad of both 

division one and two players who 

train together. 

“Everything we’ve done we’ve 

done together,” said Dodgson. 

“We’ve gone with a different 

model, partly out of desire 

and also need. We’re all in this 

together and the aim is to see an 

improvement across both teams.” 

Sumner will go into the 

opening round match against 

Linwood at Linfield Park on 

Saturday with largely the same 

squad they finished with last 

year. However, the tradition of 

using young English talent is 

set to continue with two players 

from Saracens Football Club 

expected to arrive in Sumner 

during the season. 

The team also has some new 

faces in the coaching department, 

with former Sumner players 

Gareth D’Almeida and Matt 

Cruickshank coming on board. 

A player to watch once again 

will be No 8 Dylan Nel, who 

dominated the competition last 

year, earning him a call-up to 


KEY MAN: Canterbury rep Dylan Nel dominated last year’s 

metro rugby competition by winning the MVP award and 

finishing as the top try scorer. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER 

the Canterbury and extended 

Crusaders squads. 

Nel won last year’s MVP race 

by the largest margin in the 

award’s history. The South African 

finished with 27 points – 11 

more than any other player. He 

also finished as the leading try 

scorer in the competition with 

16, four more than any other 

player. 

Sumner’s match on Saturday 

against Linwood starts at 

2.45pm.

FERRYMEAD BAYS bounced 

back from a defeat to rivals 

Cashmere Technical to win 

the Hurley Shield from Coastal 

Spirit on Monday. 

They last won the shield 

in April 2017 by defeating 

Cashmere. However, they will 

hope to hold it longer than they 

did on the previous occasion, 

which saw them defeated by FC 

Twenty in their first defence just 

five days later. 

The shield is contested in a 

Ranfurly Shield-type format at 

home matches by Christchurch 

clubs. 

Chris Anderson was the man 

of the moment for Bays in their 

1-0 shield victory.

HOLDERS: Ferrymead Bays claimed the Hurley Shield on 

Monday. 

Bays bounce back 

to win Hurley Shield 

The forward came on as a late 

substitute and scored from six 

yards out with 10min remaining 

after latching onto a loose ball 

following an uncleared corner 

kick. 

On Good Friday, Bays suffered 

their first loss of the season 

to Cashmere 0-2. After four 

rounds, Bays have two wins, a 

loss and a draw to their name. 

“We didn’t perform up our 

expectations on Friday and 

we knew going into the game 

against Coastal that we needed 

a win to stay with the title contenders,” 

said Bays coach Danny 

Halligan. 

Bays’ first defence of the 

shield is on Saturday when they 

host the winless Universities

GNARLY: Hugh Ritchie took out the men’s longboard beating fellow New 

Zealand rep Zen Wallis in the final. 

PHOTO: WWW.PHOTOMARKSTEVENSON.COM 

Titles for Ritchie, Hungerford 

and Henderson in Dunedin 

SURFERS from the 

Bay Harbour News area 

claimed titles at the 

Emerson’s South Island 

championships at St 

Clair, Dunedin, over the 

weekend. 

In the longboard 

division, 

Hugh 

Ritchie 

beat New 

Zealand 

teammate 

Zen Wallis 

Estella 

Hungerford 

to claim the 

title with 

a score of 

13.8 in the 

final. The longboarders 

opted to surf the point 

with solid 2m left-handers 

working nicely. 

There were also victories 

for grom step-sisters 

Estella Hungerford 

and Ava Henderson. 

Hungerford followed up 

her victory in the under-16 

girls division at the New 

Brighton Duke Festival 

of Surfing last month by 

winning the under-16 girls 

division in Dunedin. 

The final on Sunday 

was dominated for a 

time by Mt Maunganui’s 

Anna Brock. However, 

Hungerford came from 

behind in the dying 

minutes to take the lead 

and ultimately the win. 

The 16-year-old also 

finished third in the 

open women’s division 

final. 

Henderson, 12, who 

won the under-14 girls 

division at the Duke 

Festival backed up again in 

Dunedin. 

She stepped up in some 

ugly surf to win the final 

with a score of 13.9 ahead 

of Liv Haysom, of Piha. 

Henderson also finished 

fourth in the under-16 

division. 

The stand-up 

paddleboarding men put 

on a show of outstanding 

surfing in ugly backwash 

with Redcliffs resident 

Al Te Moananui taking 

out the title over Mt 

Maunganui’s Mark 

Stevenson. Lucy Te 

Moananui competed 

in the over 30 women’s 

division in which she 

SPORTS 

finished third. The open 

women’s title was won by 

16-year-old Tegen Bishop, 

who claimed her first 

open division event in the 

process. 

She also claimed the 

under-18 title. 

The open men’s division 

final was closely contested 

over 25min in solid surf. 

Zen Wallis narrowly 

took the victory over Piha’s 

Elliot Paerata Reid. 

Christchurch surfer 

Sam Sands was third in 

the final ahead of Sumner 

surfer Harrison Whiteside 

in fourth. 

The three-day event was 

hosted by South Coast 

Boardriders and was dual 

sanctioned by Surfing 

New Zealand and the 

South Island Surfing 

Association. 

Many of the 

competitors will now 

turn their attention to 

the men’s Canterbury 

championships which 

takes place from April 

21-23. 

No visit is complete without experiencing Shantytown Heritage 

Park, an interactive museum in the guise of a replica gold rush 

village set in the late 1800s. 

Shantytown offers insight, information 

and fantastic experiences to thousands 

of visitors every year. Step back in time, 

discover legendary stories of pioneer West 

Coasters through a fascinating mix of 

experience and display. 

Shantytown is set on 500 acres of 

native rainforest. Experience the beautiful 

short bush walks at your leisure. Or 

take a steam train ride along an original 

tramway through a native rainforest, get 

a photo with one of two working steam 

trains or talk to the friendly drivers. 

Experience the sights, sounds and 

smells of a working sawmill, watch the 

mighty sluice gun blast gold-bearing rock 

and soil from the earth, then follow the 

water races to the gold claim, learn a little 

gold panning and pan for your own gold. 

The village, with 30 shops and builds 

to explore, displays some of the 10,000 

objects and 1000 photos in the Shantytown 

Museum Collection. The on-site café 

sells postcards that will be stamped with 

the Shantytown Post Mark. For the perfect 

memento, grab a costume and get an oldtime

3 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | 1 living room | 1 dining room | 2 car-garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing #FM5403 

You will love this personal view and feeling 

of being on holiday all year round from this 

north facing position on Richmond Hill. 

Boasting panoramic views that cannot be 

built out over the sea, along the coastline 

and down over the Norfolk Pines to Sumner 

Beach. Two large palm trees and lush terraced 

gardens frame this 1960’s home that’s nestled 

beautifully into the hillside, offering peace, 

space and seclusion from its private location. 

This tidy home is very liveable with a good 

floor plan, three double bedrooms and three 

bathrooms. The master downstairs has an 

ensuite and walk-in-robe. The living is easy 

with a modern kitchen and open plan lounge, 

all facing the views and flowing out onto 

wraparound decks. 

Tidy, well cared for grounds screen the 

hillside with greenery and flourish in all day 

sun. There’s easy drive on access to a double 

internal garage with the added bonus of off 

street parking. 

After much deliberation, the decision has 

been made to accept the insurance payout 

and retire off the hill onto the flat. This home 

is deemed repairable but currently insured 

and is selling on an uninsured “as-is, whereis” 

basis. 

There’s some repair to do but with quality 

homes all around, and motivated owners

Autumn colour is easy 

to achieve in gardens 

and pots. 

Add texture and contrast by 

incorporating autumn/winter 

flowering plants like polyanthus and 

helleborus with the dramatic foliage 

colour of heucherella. Don’t forget 

to incorporate plenty of sheep 

pellets at the time of planting for an 

extra nitrogen boost, and keep your 

fingers toasty with the ever popular 

showa gloves.
