Seats to remember Zed boys
• By Sarla Donovan
LATE LAST year, two members
of Sumner’s Zarifeh family, Paul
and then son Sam, died within
three weeks of each other.
Paul Zarifeh died of pancreatic
cancer on November 23 last
year aged 60. He co-founded the
Canterbury Wetsuit Company,
later Seventhwave Wetsuits, in
1987.
Three weeks later, Sam Zarifeh
died after falling from a
raft on the Landsborough River,
inland from Haast.
On Sunday, a sculpture in
their memory will be unveiled
on the Esplanade and the occasion
marked with a community
mid-winter swim which the
family hopes will become an
annual tradition.
The sculpture was
designed and constructed by
Sumner stonemason Mark
Robberds after Paul Zarifeh’s
widow Julie approached him
about the idea.
“It is hard to believe seven
months has passed by since the
losses of our beloved Zarifeh
menfolk, Paul and Sam,” Mrs
Zarifeh said.

Worry a
drone is
spying on
hillside
residents
• By Sarla Donovan
SCARBOROUGH residents are
worried they’re being spied on by
drones.
Lucy Broadhurst, who lives
halfway up Scarborough Hill, was
sitting with her partner in the bay
window of their house about 10pm
on a Monday night when they
spotted a red light hovering about
20m away.
They initially thought it was a vehicle’s
tail light but recognised it as
a drone when it started moving up
and down. Ms Broadhurst reacted
by pulling the finger, “which made
whoever (was) controlling the
drone immediately take it down,”
she said. “It felt really creepy that
somebody was looking into our
living room. Our conclusion was
it’s someone being nosy or, it seems
a bit drastic, but scouting for stealing
things.”
Lyttelton Police Station supervisor,
Sergeant Franco Lovrich, said
police would be very keen to hear
from anyone with information
about the owner of the drone, or
any drones spotted at night.
It is illegal to use a drone outside
daylight hours without special
permission, or to film a person or
their private property without their
permission.

Focus on Peters over park
NZ First called
to honour
election pledge
• By Sarla Donovan
FRIENDS OF Redcliffs Park are
criticising New Zealand First
for what they say is a broken
promise to support the return
of Redcliffs School to its former
Main Rd site.
The group last week wrote to
the Acting
Prime Minister
and NZ
First leader
Winston
Peters calling
for his help to
“ensure that
the current
Winston Peters
long-standing
but inherently
unsound decision made by
Hekia Parata is reversed.”
Spokesman Chris Doudney
said the reversal of former Education
Minister Hekia Parata’s
decision to move the school
from its former Main Rd site
was an important election plank
prior to the November, 2017
election.
Since then, the party had been
“totally silent” on the issue, he
said.
However a spokesman for Mr
Peters’ office said the rejection of
Ms Parata’s decision was based
on “information that we had
while in opposition,” and that
since then the party had worked
with their coalition partners on
an approach.
“That approach was to give the
decision making power back to
the Redcliffs community,” the
spokesman said.
Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi
“After 353 submissions made,
60 per cent of those submissions
were in support of the fast
track option suggested by the
Government. The children of
the Redcliffs community need a
school as soon as possible. The
decision made is the decision of
the Redcliffs community.”
But Mr Doudney said most of
the supporting submissions were
from Redcliffs School pupils and
parents.
Close to 100 came from children,
Mr Doudney said.
LOCATION:
Friends of
Redcliffs
Park do
not want
the school
relocated to
the park.
“If you analyse the submissions,
you’ll see they are gerrymandered,”
he said, adding that
it was “unfortunate the party
had made this change of policy.”
Meanwhile, a petition asking
Parliament to return Redcliffs
School to its former home has
collected 149 signatures.
Organised by Friends of Redcliffs
Park, the petition calls for
urgent legislation enabling the
school to reopen on its former
Main Rd site.

Your Local Views
Readers continue to debate
the Redcliffs School move
and Friends of Redcliffs
Park’s bid to stop it from
rebuilding at the park.
The group is circulating
a petition to take to
Parliament
D Moorcroft Critchley – I
totally agree with the comments
made by Redcliffs School
principal, Rose McInerney and
the school board of trustees.
I feel that the petition was illtimed,
insensitive and culturally
disrespectful.
Whether in agreement or
not, Redcliffs School will not be
returning to the Main Rd site.
That has been made crystal clear.
The decision has been made, and
sadly this has created division
within the community.
While respecting those who
oppose this, it is time to let go
and move on. Furthermore,
the personal attacks made
against the school principal
are unwarranted and totally
unfair. The long and demanding
process has been transparent and
democratic throughout. There
have been ample opportunities
during public consultations
for those affected to have their
say. We live in a democracy
and the majority have spoken.
The community will not be
deterred from their mission – to
finally return Redcliffs school
to Redcliffs. They have shown
great resolve, commitment and
determination throughout this
endeavour. This will continue.
A line needs to be drawn in the
sand now. The whole community
needs to come together
to discuss and resolve the
differences and concerns clearly
evident. This has always been a
priority for the school to engage
in, as they understand there are
some who are disappointed with
the outcome. My sincere thanks
to Rose, the board of trustees,
the parents, tamariki and the
community for their support
during this difficult struggle. Kia
kaha.
Christine Kirkland – I’ve
had three children attend
Redcliffs School on the old site
and know it well.
The buildings have not

move to shift Redcliffs
School onto Redcliffs Park
has divided the community.
deteriorated to any extent since
the earthquakes. Safety from the
rock face behind is now greatly
reduced since the loose rocks
have been brought down, so even
in an almighty new earthquake,
the rocks that might fall would
not reach out as far as the
original ones did.
The safety on that site is as
good as anywhere around that
neighbourhood or on the hills.
The original explanation that
children returning to the site
who were there at the time
of the earthquake would be
traumatised is totally irrelevant
now, as all children – even fiveyear-olds
at the time – will have
left school. The flood-prone park
will be a massively expensive site
to relocate the school to, due to
having to raise the buildings up,
put ramps and steps everywhere,
and redesign the landscaping
to provide usable dry areas in
winter months.
Neighbours who paid for
their location beside a park and
allowing views to the water will
have their properties massively
devalued. Access to school
grounds will require children
to cross the very busy Main Rd
in far greater numbers than on
the original site. It is not a wide
road and traffic build up around
that area is bad. If the original
site is to be turned into a park,
which will obviously be used
by people, and probably the
school children, how can that be
justified, when it is deemed to
be unsafe as a school location?
I seriously do not believe the
original site is dangerous enough
to abandon.
Richard Jones – I would
build a pre-fab by the road
running down the fence line
where the swimming pool was
(just two rooms initially). The
old building might eventually
come down and the hockey field
moved at a right angle. That
corner should be utilised as it’s
further from the cliff. Out the
back, build one (or even two
parallel) large stone walls like
they have at Sumner (where the
Marine Hotel was).
Samuel Zelter – The
arguments for moving the school
to Redcliffs Park are illogical and
purely political in nature.
The threat of rockfall: The
Redcliffs Park site is 20m from
the base of the cliff around Moa
Bone Cave. The back boundary
of the unadjusted Redcliffs
School site is in excess of 40m
from the cliffs.
The size of the sites: Redcliffs
Park is not a similar size to
Redcliffs School. For the two
sites to be made equivalent, the
entire portion of school land that
holds the assembly hall, junior
field, junior sandpit, and former
rooms 14 and 15, is shaved off of
the school site.
Main Rd is dangerous: Both
school sites have a fence line
directly onto Main Rd. Students
are one gate away from the busy
thoroughfare on either site, no
matter what. The Redcliffs Park
site is no safer than the current
site in this regard.
Developing a school in
Redcliffs Park requires city
council development rules to be
broken. The site is already floodprone
and sits about 1m above
mean sea level. In 50 years time,
the site will be regularly flooded
by annual heavy rainfall events. I
could go on with further points,
but these are the big four.
Sandy Thomas – When
will the Bay Harbour News stop
flogging this topic? How many
times has the siting of the school
on Redcliffs Park been allowed
ill-informed opinion space in
this publication?
Every time a page is taken
up pushing the views of a tiny
minority, the board of trustees
chairperson or the principal
patiently responds by reiterating
the facts. And now a blatant and
manipulative misrepresentation
of the school’s poroporoaki
(blessing ceremony) is given a
front page headline accompanied
by an irrelevant photo which
appears solely designed to draw
attention to the petition set
up by the aforementioned tiny
minority. Enough is enough. The
school has repeatedly stated that
its new design will show respect
for its immediate neighbours.
Let it go Bay Harbour News! It is
disappointing that a community
newspaper is choosing to
sensationalise this issue in such
an unbalanced way. What was an
uplifting, moving and respectful
farewell to the old school has
been completely hijacked by this
article. Whatever happened to
impartial journalism?
Editor Barry Clarke
responds – Bay Harbour
News has covered this emotive
and polarised issue fairly and
accurately, and will continue to
do so.
It would be a sad day for
society if news media didn’t
cover all sides of a debate, or did
not allow a minority voice to
have their say, simply because
it does not suit the agenda or
views of another group. Bay
Harbour News will continue to
provide our readers information
and updates over the petition to
Parliament and developments
regarding the school’s planned
shift to Redcliffs Park – without
bias or favour.
A responds to the
article about city council
transferring ownership of
Purau Maori Reserve to
Rapaki Runanga
Kathy Palmer – Return
Purau Reserve to the care
of Ngati Wheke. An urupa/
graveyard is not an appropriate
place for eating drinking and
sports, there are other reserves in
the area for such activities. If Mr
Kulpe wants to question the local
traditions, he can do no better
than go to Christchurch District
Libraries and check out Barry
Brailsford’s book The Tattooed
Land: Traditions of the Southern
Maori for excellently researched
and authenticated archaeological
evidence.

Street party, fireworks to close festival
The Lyttelton Festival of
Lights finishes on Friday.
Sarla Donovan reports
AN ART gallery that glows in
the dark is among the special
events in the 14th Lyttelton
Festival of Lights, which
culminates on Friday night with
the popular street party.
Along with food and drink
stalls, music, activities and light
art installations, Lyttelton
Primary School has teamed up
with microbiologist Siouxsie
Wiles to create Bioluminaire: a
glowing art gallery.
Two hundred pupils have
followed Dr Wiles’ formula to
create a glowing artwork in a
petri dish using bioluminescent
bacteria.
Lyttelton Primary School
principal Brendan Wright said it
was an exciting addition to the
festival lineup.
“Siouxsie is on a mission
to enthuse children with
both the art and the science
of bioluminescence. She’s a
wonderful science communicator
and we’re delighted she has
agreed to help the school produce
what promises to be a marvellous
new attraction for the Festival of
Lights,” he said.
Check it out at the Port Talk
building on the corner of Oxford
and London Sts.
Friday’s Matariki-themed
street party marks the high point
of the week-long festival.
Stages in Albion Square and
the family-themed Collett’s
LIGHTS: The annual Lyttelton Festival of Lights street party on
Friday will include the popular fireworks display.
Corner host a stream of diverse
performances from 7-10pm.
Events get under way with the
street parade at 7pm, then there
will be kapa haka, dance crews,
bands like The Settlers and The
Preservatives and a ukelele group
among the acts lined up to delight
the crowds.
The Lyttelton Port fireworks
display at 8pm is a must-see.
DJ Rang will host activities
for youth at the skate park on
Oxford St from 7.30-9.30pm.
Organisers recommend using
public transport to get there.
There will be two park-andride
locations in Christchurch
with buses running half-hourly
from 5.30pm on Ferry Rd outside
Countdown and from Chapmans
Rd, Woolston, by the corner of
Lock Cr.
Direct-to-Lyttelton red
bus shuttles will depart from
platform L at the central bus
exchange at 5.05pm, 6.05pm and
7.05pm.
Normal services are also
available on the 28 and 535 bus
routes.

Enjoy some mulled wine
VOLCANO OWNER Sue
Curtin’s first Festival of Lights
was “quite a few years ago.”
Employed as a chef at Volcano
by then owners, Lois Ogilvie
and Peter Llewellyn Evans, she
helped at the street party, selling
mulled wine in front of the
restaurant.
And has carried on the tradition
since then. She remembers
those early years being “hugely,
hugely busy – we couldn’t pour
the wine faster enough.”
The street party has always
been popular, she says, except
for last year when numbers were
down a bit with the rain. But it
was still a good night out.
“It’s a really fun, social occasion,”
she said. “People do say
that our mulled wine is the best
on the street, we pride ourselves
on it. It’s a special recipe we
used when the Volcano was still
around: Lots of really good red
wine, nice orange juice, a good
splosh of port, some cloves, cinnamon
and honey.”
The festival has gotten bigger
and better organised over the
years, she said. “Project Lyttelton
does a great job.”
Her favourite part of the
night is the Port Lyttelton fireworks
display “and there’s some
amazing food on the street as
well.”

Paul Simon - The Life
By robert Hilburn
‘There’s no tougher a mind, no more tender a voice than Paul Simon, and there’s no better
man than Robert Hilburn to decipher the hardwiring of this hyperintellect...great songs can
never be fully explained, but the great man on his way to find those songs surely can.’ - Bono
Through such hits as “The Sound of Silence,” “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” “Still Crazy After
All These Years,” and “Graceland,” Paul Simon has spoken to us in songs for a half-century
about alienation, doubt, survival, and faith in ways that have established him as one of
the most honoured and beloved songwriters in American pop music history. Yet Simon has
refused to talk to potential biographers and urged those close to him to also remain silent.
But Simon not only agreed to talk to biographer Robert Hilburn for what has amounted to
more than sixty hours, he also encouraged his family and friends to sit down for in-depth
interviews.
Paul Simon is a revealing account of the challenges and sacrifices of artistry at the highest
level. He has also lived a roller-coaster life of extreme ups and downs. We not only learn
Paul’s unrelenting drive to achieve artistry, but also the subsequent struggles to protect
that artistry against distractions - fame, wealth, marriage, divorce, drugs, complacency,
public rejection, self-doubt - that have frequently derailed pop stars and each of which he
encountered. From dominating the charts with Art Garfunkel and a successful reinvention as a
solo artist, to his multiple marriages and highly publicized second divorce from Carrie Fisher,
this book covers all aspects of this American icon.
Refugee
By Alan Gratz
JOSEF is a Jewish boy living in 1930s Nazi Germany. With the threat of concentration
camps looming, he and his family board a ship bound for the other side of the world ...
ISABEL is a Cuban girl in 1994. With riots and unrest plaguing her country, she and her
family set out on a raft, hoping to find safety in America . . . MAHMOUD is a Syrian boy in

a long trek toward Europe . . . All three kids go on harrowing journeys in search of refuge.
All will face unimaginable dangers -- from drownings to bombings to betrayals. But there
is always the hope of tomorrow. And although Josef, Isabel, and Mahmoud are separated
by continents and decades, shocking connections will tie their stories together in the end.
This action-packed novel tackles topics both timely and timeless: courage, survival, and
the quest for home.

Home & Leisure Show
on this weekend
THE STAR Media Home
& Leisure Show promises
to be the best yet.
Celebrating its 20th year
of supporting local businesses,
the event has an
extra special flavour this
time around with a unique
tasting corner.
Event manager Vanessa
Fleming is super-enthused
about the new addition,
which reflects the importance
of leisure in people’s
lives these days.
“There will be a wide
range of food and drink
products to sample, which
people can then go home
and recreate in their own
kitchens,” she says.
And with the latest in
kitchen innovations and
products on display, it’s a
chance to get creative in
all aspects of life.
Said Star Media chief executive
Steve McCaughan:
“I am very excited about
the new elements we
have introduced with the
addition of our free taste
section, new glossy Home
and Leisure magazine, plus
fantastic prizes to be won.”
Seminars are held
throughout each of the
three days and feature
everything from starting
a renovation through to
the design and decoration
stage.
A hot topic this year is
water, with multiple water
filtration systems being
exhibited at the show,
along with spa pools
and the best in heating
technology.
“This show is designed
to inspire people with the
latest in home and lifestyle
technology,” says Ms
Fleming.
Port construction
noise until 2020
CONSTRUCTION ON
Lyttelton’s new cruise
berth gets underway
early next month with
residents warned to
expect intermittent noise
through to early 2020.
Pile driving will
occur six days a week,
Monday to Saturday, with
similar noise levels to the
construction of Cashin
Quay in 2014 and 2015.
However, given the
cruise berth’s proximity
to residents, noise will
be heard more widely,
Lyttelton Port Company is
warning.
“While the level of
noise cannot be effectively
mitigated, residents will
be able to view regular
updates to the planned
piling times on LPC’s
harbour watch website,”
chief executive Peter
Davie said.
Mr Davie said the size
of the original piles for the
berth had been reduced
to mitigate the effects
of noise on endangered
Hector’s dolphins.
“In the new design the
piles are now 900mm
in diameter, which
significantly reduces the
pile driving noise underwater.
The new design
does not require resource
consent to construct
the wharf, as it is within
the regulations of the
Lyttelton Port Recovery
Plan. We have applied for
consent to allow the larger
cruise ships to berth at the
wharf, and to undertake
minor dredging works,”
Mr Davie said.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Helping kids deal with anxiety
Along with juggling
young families and
running businesses, yoga
instructor Jess Smith
and child psychologist
Emma Chapman started
up a series of mindful
retreats for the 9 to 14
year-old age group this
year. Based in Sumner,
they aim to help young
people manage the
complexities of growing
up in the 21st century.
They talk to reporter
Sarla Donovan
So why have you aimed the
retreats at this age group?
Emma: It’s a really good age in
their development to put mental
health strategies in place that are
a little bit more complex than
you could do with those under
the age of eight. Also they’re
really open at this age, they’re
not as self-conscious and you can
get a lot of good, honest work
done with them - would you say
Jess?
Jess: Yeah, they’re very honest
and they’re not so ‘in their head,’
their answers come out really
fast. And they’re fun to be with.
Emma: We give them this
journal that’s got a whole lot of
stuff in there so that throughout
their teenage years as they’re
growing and processing things
more they have these tools. It’s
almost like we’re trying to not be
the ambulance at the bottom of
the cliff, we’re getting in before
all that and giving them tools to
go forward with.
What are the biggest
challenges facing ‘tweens’ today
and how are you helping them?
Jess: One thing is they’re living
outside their body, not inside.
They’re busy looking at social
media and everything’s so out
in front of them, there’s so much
ALL ABOUT THE BREATH: Jess Smith and Emma Chapman run workshops for 9-14 year
old’s, building resilience and teaching young people how to manage stress and anxiety.
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
comparison that they forget to
listen to that internal voice and
develop their intuition. Even
with yoga, I never teach that it
should look like this. I’m really
mindful of my language so it’s
more of an inquiry: ‘how does it
feel?’
Emma: We need to be able
to feel all of our emotions and
know what to do when they
overwhelm us. Social media is
about the persona of what you
want the public to see and often
that’s just happy, lots of friends
and all that kind of thing. And
we’re saying hang on, let’s get
back to what’s real in life and the
fact that not everyone’s happy all
the time, so what do we do with
those big emotions?
Can anybody attend a retreat?
Emma: Anyone can come.
These are strategies for
everybody, you don’t need to
have anxiety or be stressed out.
We would only ever restrict
anyone from coming if they
were working really closely with
mental health services, meaning
that being in the group would
put them so far outside their
comfort zone that it wouldn’t be
safe.
How do you think the
earthquakes have affected
young people in Christchurch?
Emma: For my part I think
it’s a very useful tool during
the retreats that children have
had the shared experience of
the fight/flight/freeze response
during the earthquakes and
we focus on how this has built
resilience.
Jess: Teaching them how to
breathe is a really important part
because as we know during fight/
flight the breath gets shortened
and the heart rate comes up
so we’re learning how to work
with that: grounding the feet,
coming back to the breath and
anchoring. It’s such a small
tool but it can go such a long
way.
Emma: The breathing is a huge
part of our retreats. We come
back and back and back to it.
Can you describe what you do
each day?
Jess: I start with a 90 minute
yoga practice, maybe some
meditation, a little bit of art work
and then we have a break, have
some food and then Emma takes
over.
Emma: Once they come to
me I usually do some psychoeducation
around their brains
and anxiety/stress, things like
that. So they’ve been grounded
by Jess and then unfortunately
I take them straight back into
their heads. But they’re ready for
it by then and it’s at their level,
just making sense to them as
why their bodies go into
fight/flight/freeze and things
like that. And then we work
through different strategies,
cognitive behaviour therapy,
acceptance and commitment
therapy, both of which work
really well with this age group
and it’s kind of up to them to
take those away and decide what
works for them and what doesn’t.
There’s lots
of homework involved with
that, and lots of sharing which is
really nice.

Mindfulness retreats for youngsters
•From page 9
Jess: By day three I have to
calm everybody down, they’re so
excited and talking and there’s
this beautiful friendship that
starts between everyone.
Jess: We’re trialling one day
workshops because the four days
is a commitment and expense
and at least it gives people who
can’t take breaks during the
holidays an experience of what
it’s like.
How did you come up with
this idea?
Jess: Emma actually contacted
me. A good friend of her’s came
to one of my yoga retreats (for
adults) and she mentioned that
she wished her daughter could
have gone and I think Emma’s
brain lit up and she contacted
me.
Emma: There’s nothing in the
market like it and for someone
like myself who’s a private
psychologist having to make
people pay $150 an hour to see
their children when I could
actually give thee same strategies
in a group setting . . . I just
thought we need to get this
out there. The mental health
service in Christchurch is
crazy, there’s a 28 week wait
or something like that to see
someone through the public
system. And although there’s still
a cost it’s very low compared to
what it would be
if you were doing it individually
with someone privately.
Jess: For me, yoga is in big
competition with rugby and
netball and just the A to Z of
activities. Kiwi kids have so much
on their plate besides just going
to school so when yoga gets put
on the table it’s kind of the last
thing a kid’s going to do so it’s
nice to offer it as something that
is going to benefit other aspects
of their life, not just physically.
You’ve run two retreats now,
what’s the feedback been like?
Emma: That it’s been really life
changing. They all want to do
it again. We have a form we ask
them to fill out at the end.
Jess: And they’re brutal!
(laughs.) As adults we’re so
conditioned to be nice but it’s like
“I didn’t like the food,” or “What!
Homework? I thought this was a
retreat!”
Emma: Then we have feedback
weeks or months later from
caregivers and they’re saying
they’ve really found it useful.
BALANCING
ACT: Yoga
teacher Jess
Smith juggles
her business
with raising two
children.
They go away with quite a large
pack of things so we’re not just
saying do the four days and see
you later, they’ve got things they
can go back to so when the next
big thing comes up in their lives
they can go back to their yoga
mat that they’ve decorated for
themselves and all of the things
that they go away with that
makes it doubly powerful.
Have you made any changes
since running the first retreat in
January?
Emma: Another big thing is
we used to just take girls and we
have decided to be more gender
diverse because of course there is
no need for it just to be girls. We
thought possibly it was going to
create a safe space but all genders
can do that.
And what does the future hold
for the Mindful Retreats?
Emma: We get a lot of really
good sponsorship from people
because we hate that people aren’t
able to come because of money
so ideally the government would
start sponsoring us and we could
roll it out across primary schools.
That would be where we’re
aiming for so we’re collecting a
lot of data so we can approach
government agencies and see
what they can do.

Volunteers help
make a difference
There are many
volunteers making
a difference in our
community, writes
National List MP for
Port Hills Nuk Korako
Last week was National Volunteer Week
– “ma tini ma mano ka rapa te whai”
(many hands make light work.)
Our chance to acknowledge and thank
those volunteers in our community for all
the work that they do.
I had a good start to my week volunteering
at Cultivate Urban Farm to harvest
vegetables for market. Their philosophy is
to not only nurture plants, but also to give
disadvantaged youth and the homeless the
chance for a fresh start through gardening.
It is a fantastic environment for youth
development and was a real pleasure to
work alongside them.
There are many ways we can volunteer.
The question is, how and where do I start
as there are so many great causes. Personally
I enjoy getting out and collecting for
as many worthy appeals as I can. It is a
great way of raising much needed funds as
well as catching up with the community
in the Bays and hills areas for a chat and
to see how things are for them. I also enjoy
the local planting days.
As well as the volunteer networks who
work tirelessly to keep organisations functioning,
there are our local unsung heroes.
They engage and help with our estuary,
rivers, conservation, community response
and community wellbeing.
Sumner Lifeboat, firefighters, coaches
and carers, resident associations, neighbourhood
watch, the list goes on. We
thank every single one of you for giving
your time freely. It is people like you who
make our world a better place, thank you.
If you would like to start volunteering
there is no better time than to start now.
Your local community group such as
Sumner (sumnercommunity.co.nz), Project
Lyttelton (lyttelton.net.nz), residents’
associations and other groups.
Volunteering Canterbury (volcan.org.
nz) is a good start. Giving even a couple of
hours a week of your time will make such
a difference to any cause, as well as enrich
your own life.
To all our volunteers, a huge thanks.

Bridge club spans half a century
Sumner Bridge Club
will celebrate its 50th
anniversary in September.
Sarla Donovan reports
YOU COULD say it was rain
that created the Sumner Bridge
Club back in 1968.
A group of people got together
- mostly men - who worked
at the Lyttelton wharves, club
president Julie Cunningham
said.
“The rules of stevedoring in
those days were that if there
was too much rain, you weren’t
able to work. So they used to go
indoors and play cards.”
Eventually they decided to
form a club.
They didn’t have premises
initially, but used the social hall
at the St John ambulance rooms
and the Sumner Community
Centre.
Its first session was convened
with 27 players on September 9,
1968, in the supper room of the
community centre.
When a run-down
weatherboard house in Dryden
St was spotted for sale at a cheap
price, the club bought it by
raising 216 debentures from their
members.
Purchased for $3750 in May,

The No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author returns with the
much anticipated new Logan McRae thriller.
Some things just won’t stay buried…
Logan McRae’s personal history is hardly squeaky clean, but now
that he works for Professional Standards he’s policing his fellow officers.
When Detective Inspector Bell turns up dead in the driver’s seat of a crashed car
it’s a shock to everyone. Because Bell died two years ago, they buried him. Or they
thought they did.
As an investigation is launched into Bell’s stabbing, Logan digs into his past.
Where has he been all this time? Why did he disappear? And what’s so important
that he felt the need to come back from the dead?
But the deeper Logan digs, the more bones he uncovers – and there are people out
there who’ll kill to keep those skeletons buried. If Logan can’t stop them, DI Bell
won’t be the only one to die…
Levi’s War
by Julie Thomas
A story of courage and bravery from a Jew behind enemy lines during the Second
World War.
How many secrets can one family hold?
Levi Horowitz isn’t a natural-born soldier. But in November 1938, Berlin is a
volatile place for a Jew, and the talented young musician secures passage to
Switzerland. Instead, Levi is taken to a Danish border checkpoint and from then on
his war becomes secret, even from those he loves best.
In 2017, a recording emerges, showing Levi in 1945 and revealing a story in
equal parts shocking and heroic. It is a journey that leads him face-to-face with
Hitler, and into a position to change the final outcome of the war.
Levi’s War follows on from the enthralling historical novels The Keeper of Secrets
and Rachel’s Legacy, this time tracing the story of the eldest Horowitz son. Whether
you’re discovering Julie Thomas’s books for the first time, or making a return visit
to the saga of the Horowitz family, Levi’s War will leave you utterly breathless.

Mt Pleasant Bridge Club.
This time it wasn’t rain, but
smoke that was the cause.
“In those days, people smoked
tremendously, particularly the
men. After seven or eight years,
some of the club members asked
the offending smokers to desist
while playing but they refused,”
she said.
So a group broke away and
formed the non-smoking Mt
Pleasant Bridge Club with 40
members in August, 1975.
But after a few more years,
Sumner also went smokefree.
Today the club continues to
thrive, with members ranging in
age from their 40s right through
to 93.
Ms Cunningham herself came
to the game at retirement age.
Having grown up in a
generation where a lot of people
played cards - “there wasn’t
much entertainment in the
evenings!” - she still had eight
weeks of lessons before starting.
And beginners lessons are
still offered regularly at the
club, which will mark its 50th
on the weekend of September
8 and 9 with a get together and
drinks on Saturday followed
by entertainment, lunch and a
tournament on Sunday.

Emotional match for Sumner
Nel to play at
St Leonards
one last time
• By Gordon Findlater
A TRIO of milestones will
happen when Sumner play New
Brighton in the ‘battle of the
beaches’ at St Leonards Park on
Saturday.
Both Tom Crozier and Josh
Loader will both make their
50th appearances for the club
while South African No 8
Dylan Nel will play his final
home game for the club before
relocating to Dunedin to begin
preparations ahead of the Mitre
10 Cup season with Otago.
“It’s a mixed bag of emotions.
Obviously I’m excited for what
awaits in Otago but it’s going to
be very sad to leave my Sumner
family,” said Nel.
It’s understood the club are
planning a ‘dress up like Dylan
Nel’ party after their match
against New Brighton.
“There will be a few tight pants
and low cut singlets,” said Sumner
coach Martin Dodgson.
The match is also very much
a must win for Sumner’s semifinal
hopes. With just three
matches remaining until the
play-offs, Sumner are in fifth
– just one point behind New
Brighton in fourth.
“She’s a very tight top six this
year . . . it’s going to come down
to bonus points,” said Dodgson.
Sumner’s last two top six
round robin matches will be
away to Sydenham and at home
against Christchurch.
On Saturday Sumner suffered
their first lost in the top six at
the hands of defending champions
Lincoln University 13-34.
However, Dodgson was happy
with the performance from his
team which saw them camped
on Lincoln’s line midway
through the second half with the
scored at 13-13.

Sumner on Saturday.

From there, Lincoln University
worked their way out of trouble
to score seven at the other end,
before scoring twice in the final
5min.
“We were much happier with
the performance compared to
last week,” said Dodgson.
“The guys were smiling
again and really enjoying their
rugby.”
The club will also celebrate
their annual ladies’ day on
Saturday where bubbles are
expected to be enjoyed under a
side-line marquee.

NEW MAN: Aiden Barbour-
Ryan has made the switch
from Selwyn United and will
look to lead the attack for
Bays in the newly reformed
Southern League.
Bays enter new era
FERRYMEAD BAYS enter a
new frontier on Saturday when
they kick off the newly founded
Southern League by hosting
Nomads United at English Park.
The 2017 Mainland Premier
League champions finished third
in this year’s campaign to qualify
for the newly reformed competition
which last existed in 1999.
The top five teams from the MPL
are joined by the top three teams
from the Football South Premier
League.
“Qualifying for this has been
a goal since the start of the year.
All of the guys are really excited
for it,” said Bays coach Danny
Halligan.
“The quality of the southern
teams is a bit of an unknown.
The long away trips and playing
on unfamiliar surfaces will be a
challenge, but it’s also very exciting.”
Bays face away trips to Dunedin
Technical and Invercargill’s
Southland United. However,
much to the team’s disappointment,
they have drawn Queenstown
FC at home, meaning a
much anticipated boys weekend
in Queenstown is off the cards.
The last round of the MPL was
held on June 9, and with grounds
closed in recent weeks due to
persistent rain, Bays’ preparations
have been unconventional
ahead of the new league which
consists of one round of games.
“We’ve focused on a lot of
fitness work and have even done
some boxing fitness sessions and
spin classes. We got in a practice
match on Thursday evening so
things are shaping well,” said
Halligan.
Bays will be without the services
of the MPL’s all-time leading
scorer Michael White who is
expected to miss the remainder
of the season after damaging cartilage
and ligaments in his knee
earlier in the year.
However, they have signed
exciting young striker Aiden
Barbour-Ryan from Selwyn
United, who possesses the pace
and eye for goal that was missed
with White’s absence.

A ‘gold mine’
of footwear
for all ages
The Footwear Factory in Garlands
Road Woolston has been a part of the
Christchurch retail scene for more than a
quarter of a century.
Over that time thousands of people have
flocked to the store to find bargains and
good deals in quality footwear, ranging from
children’s shoes, sandals and school shoes
to men’s and women’s fashion and causal
shoes, outdoor and sports shoes, bowls
shoes, slippers, and safety footwear for the
workplace.
Launched in a small shop in Papanui, the
business later operated in Riccarton for 12
years before moving to Garlands Rd 13 years
ago.
Owned by Russ and Jude Day, there you
will find shelves lined with footwear in a
huge variety of styles and colours for men,
women and children – a ‘gold mine’ for shoeseeking
shoppers.
The footwear is brought in from all over
the world, as well as coming from New
Zealand manufacturers, and includes ends of
lines and other well-priced items.
Four main brands are carried – the New
Zealand made McKinlays range of children’s
school shoes, as well as men’s and women’s
styles. The well-known Hi-Tec range of
outdoor footwear and tramping, New
Balance sports shoes and a range of Keens
sandals and outdoor footwear. These known
brands cover all ages.
New styles arrive almost every day, so
there are always more to try on, while Russell
and his second-in-charge Karen are happy to
advise on styles and sizing.
Located on a high-profile site at 47C
Garlands Rd, (next to Flags Tyre’s), the
Footwear Factory is easy to find, and there is
off-street parking available.
They are open seven days a week –
9.30am- 5pm Monday to Friday, 10am-2pm
Saturday and 11am-3pm Sunday. Phone

PROMINENT Cantabrians
have given a mixed response to
the possible futuristic look of
Cathedral Square.
Plans for what the Square
could look like were released
by Regenerate Christchurch
yesterday after seven years of
debate and controversy over the
slow progress of the rebuild.
It includes three covered
pavilions, which would have
a “lattice-style” translucent
roof, which could host markets
and other events.
FUTURISTIC: Plans released yesterday show what Cathedral Square could look like.
The long-term vision, which is
estimated to cost between $60-
$80 million, aims to bring people
back into the area, through a
series of interconnected public
spaces.
The vision for the Square also
includes Cathedral Gardens
with trees and water features,
Post Office Place with events
and meeting spaces, and Library
Plaza with other people-friendly
areas.

City councillor Deon Swiggs
said it would need to work

Cathedral.
“We’ve got to look at what is

A CON man who tells his
intended victims he will harm
their families if they don’t pay up
may face a bigger problem than
the law – gangs.
Police have received 19 complaints
from Christchurch people
targeted by the sinister scam. It
involves phone
calls and texts to
victims who are
told the caller is
from the Mongrel
Mob, Highway 61
or Black Power.
Pay up or your
family members, Greg
including elderly Newbold
parents, will be
attacked, the caller says.
But it appears the con man is
not connected to the gangs, just
using their names to put fear into
the intended victims.
Canterbury University criminologist
Greg Newbold said yesterday
the gangs would be “filthy”.
“All I can say is he’s got a death
wish,” he said.
“They will be absolutely p***ed
off. Anybody who impersonates
a gang member is committing a
serious crime against the gang.”
Prof Newbold said the perpetrator
could get a “hiding” for that
alone.

A CONVICTED killer is back
behind bars after a spectacular
crash while allegedly fleeing
police.
John Oliver Jamieson’s Subaru
Forester crashed through the
Rolleston dog park fence on
Saturday.

He had earlier been recorded

A cut-down rifle was later
found by police in the vehicle.
Startled dog walkers said
Jamieson ran a short distance
from the vehicle before stopping
to see if the woman in the vehicle
was okay.
Police arrived soon after and
he was apprehended.

On our network, 10-20% of all unplanned power outages are
caused by trees — including vegetation — coming into contact
with power lines. Other than this, fire damage to property from
branches sparking in dry conditions and serious injury from
electrocution from contact with trees touching power lines are
also possible consequences of not maintaining your trees.
How close is too close?
While most damage is caused by trees falling on power lines,
significant risk exists from trees merely touching them. This risk
increases the higher the voltage of the power line.
The minimum distances that must be maintained between trees
and power lines, as defined in the Electricity (Hazards from
Trees) Regulations 2003, are outlined in the diagrams above.
All vegetation should be kept out of the growth limit zone and
preferably the notice zone.
Sometimes it may not be practical to have a tree trimmed at the
rate at which it grows and unfortunately, this means it may need
to be removed. Other situations may require trees to be removed,
most commonly when they are at a high risk of falling due to
disease or adverse weather events.
Where do I start?
Before you begin, remember to keep yourself, and those around
you, safe. We recognise that not everyone is experienced in tree
trimming and are happy to advise you on what to do. We can arrange
for trees near power lines to be trimmed at your expense, however
we recommend you hire professionals to safely carry out the work.
If you or someone working for you intends to work within four
metres of power lines, a close approach consent is required from
Orion before you start. As a tree owner, you may be liable for any
damage caused by carrying out trimming or felling of trees.
Will I be fined if I don’t comply?
If a cut or trim notice is given to you and you fail to have the tree
trimmed and/or advise us of the time and location of the trim
without a reasonable excuse, this is an offence. This will make you
liable for a fine not exceeding $10,000. If the offence continues,
you will be liable for a further fine of not more than $500 for every
day or part day during which the offence continues.
More info can be found on our website and if
you have any questions or notice any trees
touching power lines in your area, please call
us on 03 363 9898 or 0800 363 9898.

The firs time I woke up with a cold nose in my brand
new home, I wa shocked. How could this be? The
cool, calm, co lected one and I had planned for our
home to be we l insulated against Canterbury’s
cold winters. Turns out, not we l enough. We’d
even assured a we l-meaning friend we had ample
insulation (yes, Duncan, you were right). I’ve worked out where we
fe l short in hindsight. Our home was designed by highly respected
Christchurch architec the late Peter Beaven, for a magic little
Port Hi l site, where he planned to live in with his wife Lesley.
Sadly Peter died before realising his plans. We bough them and
employed Archology in Sydney, where we were living a the time, to
prepare the construction drawings and specifications. Compared to
Australia, the R values for insulation would have looked high. Our
talented young builder, Sam McCarthy, would never have queried
the levels because they were standard practice around town. So it
wasn’t until we were living in the house and I consulted Council’s
eco design advisor Julie Vi lard about how we could warm it up that
we discovered, while we unwittingly thought we had exceeded New
Zealand standard, we had merely met Code. And that ain’t going to
cut it in our climate.
Fortunately Julie had plenty of ideas on how we could improve
the situation and we have easy access to our underfloor to top-up
the insulation. Julie Vi lard, an architect from France, is on a mission
to transform building best practice here and you can read abou the
groundbreaking ideas she’s applied to her own brand new build on
page 20.
I’ve shared the highs and lows of building with the other home
builders and renovators I interviewed and, like Diane (page 36), would
relish doing it again. I was struck by how a l the home owner said
what they most valued was the ability of their designer or builder to
“rea ly listen” to their wants and needs. I was also impressed by how
much Christchurch people love a good garage! We’ve got some ideas
for some top of their class cars to complement yours on page 81 and
how to quickly establish a lawn on page 72.
We review a l the lates trends in everyone’s favourite room –
the kitchen (page 48), and share an easy yet impressive recipe for
entertaining friends in your fabulous new home on page 77.
I hope Peter Beaven would be pleased with how the cool, calm,
collected one and I realised his dream. Go chase yours people!
Gaynor
Speaking to the NZ Institute of Architects about ‘bespoke
architecture’ being a ‘minority pursuit’ not long before his death
Peter said “I am going to try to prove that it’s possible to build
modestly and cheaply with a little house for ourselves. It’s going to
be sustainable and it’s going to be beautiful and it’s going to be just
cheap – no more than an ordinary spec house. I’ l prove that it can
be done, and it might be the las thing I prove.”
