A QUIRKY initiative to keep<br />
traffic moving outside Mt<br />
Pleasant School has made a huge<br />
difference.<br />
Like many schools, there were<br />

parking issues at drop-off and<br />
pick-up time created by people<br />
leaving their cars and not parking<br />
correctly.<br />
So caretaker Simon Hillyer<br />
came up with a novel idea.<br />
He made humorous signs,<br />

Find out how they fared at the<br />

QUIRKY: Mt Pleasant School caretaker Simon Hillyer<br />
and some of his signs outside the school. <br />
School traffic signs a talking point<br />
laminated them and put them<br />
up on the two-minute loading<br />
zone outside the school.<br />
The signs get rotated every<br />
week, with the Crusaders,<br />
Bart Simpson, Star Wars<br />
and Top Gun providing<br />
inspiration.<br />
Along with Mr Hillyer’s own<br />
dad-joke sensibilities.<br />
It’s a non-confrontational approach<br />
which seems to have hit<br />
the spot.<br />

crime<br />
cameras<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
A MOVE to put crime cameras<br />
into Sumner village has hit a<br />
speed bump.<br />
In December last year a group<br />
of concerned residents set up a<br />
Givealittle page with a goal of<br />
raising $4000 to buy two CCTV<br />
cameras.<br />
The target was hit in early<br />
January when Johnston Architects,<br />
based in Wakefield Ave,<br />
offered to match any donations<br />
made on the Safer Sumner<br />
Givealittle page.<br />
But after what group member<br />
Kathy Preston said had been<br />
“some lengthy consultations<br />
with the city council and the<br />
police” they have now been<br />
advised to purchase cameras<br />
that will work with the existing<br />
police surveillance system.<br />
The group needs to raise an<br />
additional $15,000 on top of the<br />
$4000 they already have.<br />
“Unfortunately, this is going<br />
to cost a lot more than we<br />
originally thought,” said Ms<br />
Preston.<br />

THAT’S ONE very innovative way to solve<br />
parking issues at drop-off and pick-up time<br />
zones at Mt Pleasant School on today’s<br />
front page.<br />
The innovative way? – humour drivers<br />
with great signage.<br />
School caretaker Simon Hillyer came up with the novel idea<br />
and it is working a treat, apparently.<br />
It is a great non-confrontational approach to getting people to<br />
do what you want them to do.<br />
Says Simon: “I’ve got a fairly warped sense of humour! We just<br />
try and keep it fresh.” You should be moonlighting for an ad<br />
agency.<br />
On another note, more delays in getting the CCTV cameras<br />
in Sumner up and running (page 1).<br />
They are a great idea but they have been dogged by delays.<br />

Pathway trees to be replaced<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
THE REMOVAL of 24 healthy<br />
trees has been approved as<br />
part of the Coastal Pathway<br />
landscape plan.<br />
Construction on the penultimate<br />
stage of the pathway is due<br />
to start by the end of October<br />
at a cost of $8.2<br />
million.<br />
It runs alongside<br />
Peacocks<br />
Gallop from Shag<br />
Rock, skirts the<br />
beach frontage of<br />
Tim Lindley<br />
the Sumner Surf<br />
Life Saving Club<br />
and joins the<br />
footpath at the start of the memorial<br />
walk near the Marriner<br />
St/Esplanade intersection.<br />
A golden totara, three pohutukawa,<br />
and three norfolk island<br />
pines are among those to be<br />
removed as part of the plan.<br />
Depending on the size and<br />
species of the trees, some may be<br />
relocated. A further 14 trees in<br />
poor condition will also go.<br />
The removals will make way<br />
for improvements to the Sumner<br />
beach car park, which includes<br />
better beach access and landscaping.<br />
They will be replaced by<br />
about 48 new trees – in some<br />
instances like for like, such as<br />
the norfolk pines.<br />
The Linwood-Central-<br />
Heathcote Community Board<br />
approved the plan last week.<br />
Board member Tim Lindley<br />
said it had been “very carefully”<br />
thought through.<br />
“I was impressed by how selective<br />
they are being . . . the overall<br />
plan of the Coastal Pathway is to<br />
increase the number of trees.”<br />

PARKING PETITION<br />
A group of 23 Akaroa business<br />
owners have sent a petition<br />
to the Banks Peninsula<br />
Community Board asking to<br />
use a city council-owned area<br />
behind the Akaroa Butchery<br />
for staff car parking. They say<br />
it would also free up more<br />
parking spaces for visitors to the<br />
township. The area is currently<br />
vacant and has space for about<br />
20 cars. The petition was referred<br />
to city council staff.<br />

Funds to address freedom camping issues<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
A FUNDING boost from the<br />
Government will help address<br />
freedom camping issues at<br />
summertime hot spots.<br />
The city council is in line for<br />
$415,000 following a recommendation<br />
from the Responsible<br />
Camping Working Group,<br />
which brings together representatives<br />
from the tourism industry,<br />
councils and Government agencies<br />
across New Zealand.<br />
It comes as the city council<br />
•From page 1<br />
“We are now in the process<br />
of applying for grants to raise<br />
the remaining funds required<br />
to set up these particular cameras.<br />
There is no time frame at<br />
present but we would like to see<br />
the system up and running by<br />
Christmas at the latest.”<br />
She said it was “too early” to<br />
say where the group were applying<br />
for funding.<br />
The purchase of the original<br />
cameras was prompted by a<br />
spate of aggravated burglaries<br />
in the Sumner and Mt Pleasant<br />
area in October last year.<br />
A 31-year-old man was jailed<br />
for three years this month in<br />
considers changes to the Freedom<br />
Camping Bylaw which<br />
would ban freedom camping in<br />
Akaroa, except in one area.<br />
Group member and Deputy<br />
Mayor Andrew Turner said the<br />
extra funding was a “welcome<br />
relief” as summer visitor numbers<br />
had peaked across the city<br />
and Banks Peninsula over the<br />
past two years.<br />
The money will pay for education<br />
and signage, monitoring<br />
and compliance and for extra<br />
toilets in the New Brighton<br />
relation to those and other offences.<br />
New Zealand Police Crime<br />
Prevention Cameras in Public<br />
area. As a condition of funding<br />
all the measures must be in<br />
place by the start of December.<br />
It’s part of a package to try<br />
and address freedom camping<br />
issues.<br />
On top of the Government<br />
funding, the city council would<br />
pay for two staff to monitor<br />
compliance Monday-Friday,<br />
said head of regulatory compliance<br />
Tracey Weston.<br />

PARTS OF State Highway 75 will<br />
need to be widened before signs<br />
asking slow drivers to pull over<br />
can be installed.<br />
The Banks Peninsula Community<br />
Board asked the New<br />
Zealand Transport Agency to<br />
look into the signs in December<br />
after a request from community<br />
group Love Little River.<br />
NZTA senior traffic and safety<br />
engineer David Scarlet told the<br />
board it had reviewed the road<br />
and it doesn’t currently meet the<br />
criteria.<br />
There needs to be a widened<br />
sealed shoulder area that slower<br />
drivers can use to move safely<br />
out the way.<br />
“The review showed that there<br />
aren’t any suitable places at the<br />
moment. However, we will be<br />
looking to see if there are some<br />
suitable places where we could<br />
construct a widened, sealed<br />
shoulder and seek funding for<br />
this in <strong>2018</strong>/19,” Mr Scarlet said.<br />
Love Little River member Marcus<br />
Puentener said it was a step<br />
in the right direction.<br />
“It is frustrating that it has<br />
taken this long to get a response<br />
from NZTA, as there have been<br />
accidents caused by impatience<br />
over the last few years. But at<br />
least they are looking into it<br />
now,” said Mr Puentener.<br />
“We have to trust the experts,<br />
but surely there are a few places<br />
like the Birdlings Flat turn off<br />
that could be suitable without<br />
widening the road. We believe<br />
there are a number of straight,<br />
long sections of the road suitable<br />
for . . . pull over signs. These<br />
include the ‘mad mile’ just<br />
past Birdlings Flat turn off,<br />
Motukarara straight and the<br />
straight past Gebbies Cafe,” he<br />
said.<br />
There were four fatal crashes<br />
on SH75 from 2012-2016. From<br />
Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi<br />
SH75 needs widening for pull over signs<br />
a total of 37 crashes over the<br />
same period, 33 were serious. In<br />
January last year, a 26-year-old<br />
Chinese national died after<br />
crossing the centre line and<br />
hitting another vehicle near Tai<br />
Tapu.<br />
One month later, more than<br />
20 people were injured when a<br />
bus collided with a car near the<br />
Hilltop Tavern.<br />
Akaroa police senior constable<br />
Tim Johnson said slow drivers<br />
impeding the flow of traffic were<br />
one of the biggest issues faced<br />
when policing SH75.<br />

“There is a passing bay going<br />
up the Little River side, which<br />
foreign tourists don’t seem to<br />
realise means you keep left. They<br />
quite often just keep going in the<br />
middle lane which causes angst.<br />
There’s (another) two coming up<br />
from the Barry’s <strong>Bay</strong> side. The<br />
more (passing bays) there are,<br />
the better the traffic flows, but it<br />
would be a major undertaking,<br />
especially on the hill because<br />
there’s not a lot of verge anyway.”<br />
He said he would support more<br />
signage “depending on what it<br />
was, where and the type of sign.”<br />

Exhibition<br />
to open on<br />
site of new<br />
museum<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
A TEMPORARY art gallery<br />
on the new Lyttelton Museum<br />
site in London St will have<br />
community engagement at its<br />
heart.<br />
Ka Awatea is a project where<br />
artists create three miniature<br />
artworks and exhibit them in<br />
a series of three group exhibitions<br />
between September and<br />
December.<br />
A pop-up gallery the size of<br />
a shipping container will be<br />
installed on site this week to<br />
house the exhibition. The works<br />
will be based on the artists’ responses<br />
to historical materials<br />
in the museum collection.<br />
The intention is to “create<br />
a dialogue between past and<br />
present,” project director Holly<br />
Cunningham said.<br />
Around 25 artists have been<br />
selected with the first exhibition<br />
of about 11 artists likely to<br />
open at the end of September.<br />
Work is expected to commence<br />
on the new museum<br />

TRIBUTE: Quake victims Owen Wright and Ian Foldesi may still be honoured with<br />
a memorial orchard in Lyttelton.<br />
Orchard memorial may still<br />
go ahead for quake victims<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
A MEMORIAL orchard<br />
in memory of Lyttelton<br />
men Owen Wright and Ian<br />
Foldesi who lost their lives<br />
in the February <strong>22</strong>, 2011,<br />
earthquake could go ahead.<br />
Land Information New<br />
Zealand is the temporary<br />
caretaker of red-zoned<br />
land at Norton Cl/Somes<br />
Rd, which was owned by<br />
Mr Wright and his wife<br />
Megan, and Kay and David<br />
Commons<br />
Mr Wright’s former<br />
neighbours Betty and<br />
David Purdue want to see<br />
it become a community<br />
orchard dedicated to<br />
the two men. It has four<br />
existing apple and pear<br />
trees which were planted by<br />
Mr Wright.<br />
LINZ Christchurch<br />
group manager land and<br />
property, Jeremy Barr, said<br />
as a temporary caretaker<br />
of the land, it can approve<br />
changes with a “shortterm”<br />
impact of up to five<br />
years.<br />
He said a community<br />
garden may fall into this<br />
category.<br />
“There are some<br />
temporary community<br />
gardens operating on<br />
Crown-owned residential<br />
red zone land in the<br />
Ōtākaro/Avon River<br />
Corridor.”<br />
He said if the owners<br />
of the neighbouring<br />
properties were interested<br />
in developing a memorial<br />
garden, they should get in<br />
touch with LINZ.<br />
Mrs Purdue said she and<br />
her husband are now in<br />
their 80s and are not sure if<br />
they will pursue the matter<br />
with LINZ directly.<br />
But they do plan to get<br />
in touch with Lyttelton<br />
community groups that<br />
could help.<br />
“We’ll see what<br />
happens,” she said.<br />
“We are hopeful others<br />
with more community<br />
resources, wherewithal<br />
and knowledge might pick<br />
it up. If you sow a seed<br />
somewhere, you never<br />
know where it might end<br />
up. We’re keeping our<br />
fingers crossed.”<br />

Boys bitten by the baking bug<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
MT PLEASANT School teacher<br />
Ange Tutt has started a new<br />
craze for boys – baking.<br />
She initially set up a baking<br />
club in 2012, “to give pupils<br />
something positive and fun to do<br />
during the stressful earthquake<br />
days.”<br />
It ran in the third term each<br />
year and was originally popular<br />
with girls.<br />
However, after talking to a few<br />
boys Ms Tutt decided to target<br />
them this year.<br />
And lo – the Boys Baking Club<br />
was born.<br />
After starting with one boy<br />
(her own son), she now has seven<br />
– all from year 5/6.<br />
She reckons it was the rebrand<br />
which made the difference.<br />
“As soon as I named it Boys<br />
Baking the boys were suddenly<br />
very keen,” said Ms Tutt.<br />
They meet every Thursday<br />
lunchtime to taste and share<br />
their latest creation.<br />
Each week Ms Tutt issues<br />
a challenge and thus far<br />
muffins, cakes, baking with<br />
yeast and “200 grams of<br />
chocolate” have been faced and<br />
embraced.<br />
Prizes are given out to the boys<br />
for showing creativity and risktaking<br />
when baking.<br />
The cake challenge was one<br />
where they “upped their game”<br />
and created the most delicious<br />
cakes, Ms Tutt said.<br />
“It was a tough competition. In<br />
the end the boys decided Noah<br />
and Isaac deserved a prize for<br />
their incredible decorating.”<br />
She said their honesty and<br />
enthusiasm was amazing.<br />
“I have had photos from parents,<br />
showing me their commitment<br />
to the challenge – pouring<br />
over cookbooks looking for the<br />
perfect recipe.”<br />
All leftover baking heads home<br />
for them to share with their<br />
family (and sometimes it goes<br />
via their classroom teacher for a<br />
taste test).<br />
Yesterday the boys took part in<br />
a master class with Ms Tutt.<br />
“I am a teacher – but a lover of<br />
baking. I taught them to bake<br />
sponge roll, bacon and egg pies<br />
and ciabatta bread. They were all<br />
looking forward to getting out of<br />
BRILLIANT<br />

class for a few hours and doing<br />
some hands-on baking with<br />
their mates,” she said.<br />
And the girls aren’t left out –<br />
their club is still going strong,<br />
it’s just run by another teacher<br />
now.<br />

FUNDRAISING continues at<br />
pace for the Governors <strong>Bay</strong> Jetty<br />
Restoration Trust, which has<br />
set itself a goal of eight months<br />
to raise $600,000 towards<br />
restoring the historic structure.<br />
That would allow construction<br />
to begin in mid 2019.<br />
At its recent annual general<br />
meeting a range of ideas were<br />
put forward to help lift the profile<br />
of the campaign and widen<br />
it beyond Governors <strong>Bay</strong>.<br />
These included a possible<br />
“Jetty to Jetty Challenge” – a<br />
series of events between the<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong> jetty and New<br />
Brighton Pier.<br />
They could involve mountain<br />
biking, road biking, harriers<br />
and walking groups in a race<br />
from the pier to the jetty.<br />
Vintage car, sports car and<br />
motor-cycle rallies between the<br />
two landmarks was also suggested.<br />
Other ideas included a kayaking,<br />
paddle boarding, yachting<br />
and swimming event between<br />
Lyttelton and the jetty.<br />
And an old-fashioned sports<br />
day at Allandale featuring sack<br />
races, egg and spoon races,<br />
three-legged races and sprints<br />
over 300m – which is the length<br />
of the jetty.<br />
RESTORE:<br />
Some creative<br />
fundraising<br />
ideas have<br />
been proposed<br />
to rebuild<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong><br />
jetty.<br />
Creative ideas for jetty fundraiser<br />
The jetty was badly damaged<br />
in the 2011 earthquakes,<br />
prompting the formation of the<br />
trust which bought it for $1<br />
from the city council in 2016.<br />
It will cost an estimated $3.2<br />
million to restore with $535,000<br />
already committed by the city<br />
council.<br />
The trust has raised $200,000<br />
so far from community and<br />
donations and has submitted<br />
grant applications to the Rata<br />
Foundation and Lotteries Commission,<br />
trust secretary Louisa<br />
Eades said.<br />
Resource consent has been<br />
lodged and they hope it will be<br />
granted by November.<br />

CONSTRUCTION of a<br />
replacement set of beach-access<br />
steps on Beachville Rd, Redcliffs,<br />
is set to begin within two months<br />
after a two-year search for<br />
funding.<br />
The Linwood-Heathcote-Central<br />
Community Board<br />
approved the new steps<br />
at the eastern end of the<br />
road, near the Main Rd<br />
intersection, with discretionary<br />
funding at their<br />
meeting last week.<br />
Their construction<br />
would allow access to<br />
a small area of beach, a<br />
popular play area for children<br />
and for launching kayaks.<br />
Steps there had been damaged<br />
in the 2010/2011 earthquakes<br />
and then removed as part of the<br />
Eastern Seawall works. Replacement<br />
steps had been designed by<br />
SCIRT in 2016, but were not included<br />
in the final seawall plans.<br />
The community board decision<br />
delighted Redcliffs Residents Association<br />
chair Pat McIntosh.<br />
She said residents were disappointed<br />
the steps had been<br />
omitted and had approached both<br />
the city council and community<br />
board for them to be installed<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Funding for seawall<br />
stairs approved<br />
Pat McIntosh<br />
when it became clear they were<br />
not in the plans. However, an<br />
alternative funding source from<br />
council was not found.<br />
“We knew there was local demand<br />
for access, it was obvious.<br />
There’s not many places you can<br />
access the water all the way from<br />
Celia St jetty along to the houses<br />
in Main Rd,” Dr McIntosh<br />
said.<br />
She said she had heard<br />
of people hurting themselves<br />
crossing the riprap<br />
to access the area in the<br />
meantime.<br />
The resident’s association<br />
again approached<br />
the community board<br />
earlier this year, asking if the<br />
steps could be included in the<br />
council’s draft Long Term Plan.<br />
Funding from the discretionary<br />
fund instead sped up the process.<br />
Dr McIntosh said the residents’<br />
association was delighted to hear<br />
the steps would be installed soon.<br />
“We were extremely pleased to<br />
hear that the funding has been<br />
found through the community<br />
board, who have been very supportive,”<br />
she said.<br />
Installation of the precast steps<br />
was estimated to begin in six to<br />
seven weeks.<br />

Waterway names wanted<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
LABELLING more<br />
streams on Banks<br />
Peninsula will raise<br />
awareness and make them<br />
more useful as landmarks.<br />
That’s the suggestion<br />
from Banks Peninsula<br />
Water Management Zone<br />
Joint Committee chairwoman<br />
Paula Smith.<br />
“Many<br />
people are<br />
not familiar<br />
with the<br />
names or<br />
locations<br />
of our<br />
Paula Smith<br />
streams,”<br />
she said in<br />
a letter to the committee,<br />
which met late yesterday.<br />
If more streams had identifying<br />
signs, people would<br />
start to use the names more<br />
and they would become<br />
more useful as landmarks<br />
when describing a location,<br />
she said.<br />
“I also believe labelling<br />
them will raise awareness<br />
of the streams and cause<br />
people to maybe consider<br />
. . . their ecological health<br />
and how land use activities<br />
in their catchments may be<br />
affecting them,” Ms Smith<br />
said.<br />
NAMES: There may soon be more signs like this<br />
marking streams on Banks Peninsula.<br />
She asked the committee<br />
to recommend the city<br />
council prioritise funding<br />
to label 15 streams within<br />
the Banks Peninsula water<br />
management zone.<br />
Ms Smith said she had<br />
chosen those streams<br />
because of their proximity<br />
to the main inner-harbour<br />
roads which were wellused<br />
arterial routes.<br />
They include Pigeon <strong>Bay</strong>,<br />
Koukourarata, Opara, Le<br />
Bons and Okuti streams.<br />
Though not within the<br />
management zone, Te<br />
Rapu Stream, near Teddington’s<br />
Wheatsheaf<br />
Tavern is also included due<br />
to its prominent location.<br />
Attaching 30 standard<br />
yellow signs – two per<br />
stream – would cost about<br />
$12,000.<br />
Three further streams<br />
– Takamatua, Pipers and<br />
Pawsons – are on State<br />
Highway 75 so the New<br />
Zealand Transport Agency<br />
could be approached for<br />
funding.<br />

Angle parking still an option in Lyttelton<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
PROPOSED PARKING changes<br />
on west London St, Lyttelton<br />
have been put on ice as other<br />
options are explored.<br />
A city council report recommended<br />
five minute parking<br />
restrictions outside the ATM<br />
and 60min parking on the north<br />
side of the street, from Spooky<br />
Boogie cafe to Canterbury St.<br />
Along with no-stopping lines<br />
outside Albion Square for maintenance<br />
vehicle access.<br />
But the Banks Peninsula<br />
Community Board rejected the<br />
changes last week.<br />
It said ‘residents only’ and<br />
angled parking needed to be<br />
looked at before making a decision.<br />
That was in line with<br />
consultation feedback – and<br />
went against the report, which<br />
said angle parking was “not<br />
appropriate” because it would<br />
conflict with fire engine,<br />
ambulance and other heavy<br />
vehicle movements.<br />
But the board disagreed and<br />
has asked city council staff to<br />
investigate resident only and<br />
angle parking “so that the board<br />
can consider these as realistic<br />
options.”<br />
Board member Tyrone Fields<br />
said the issue will be discussed<br />
again in November.<br />
Wastewater pipeline<br />
being laid in harbour<br />
A NEW 5km wastewater pipeline<br />
is being laid under water between<br />
Lyttelton and Governors <strong>Bay</strong> this<br />
week.<br />
Sections of pipe are being<br />
towed into the harbour by a<br />
barge with an on-board winch.<br />
They are then guided into a<br />
pre-dug trench about 1m below<br />
the harbour seabed.<br />
The first segment of pipe was<br />
launched from Naval Point; once<br />
in place the second piece was<br />
welded on to the tail of the first.<br />
The process is then repeated<br />
until the full 5km length of the<br />
pipeline is in place.<br />
The 24-hour operation started<br />
on Monday and is expected take<br />
several days.<br />
The new pipeline is part of the<br />
Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong>/Whakaraupo<br />
wastewater upgrade to improve<br />
and future-proof wastewater<br />
services in Lyttelton, Governors<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> and Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
When construction is complete,<br />
two submarine pipelines<br />
will carry wastewater from<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong> and Diamond<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> to Lyttelton, as part of<br />
a $53 million scheme aimed at<br />
ending the routine discharge of<br />
treated wastewater into Lyttelton<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> by 2021.<br />
City council head of three waters<br />
and waste John Mackie said<br />
PIPES: Sections of pipe to carry wastewater are being laid<br />
underwater between Governors <strong>Bay</strong> and Lyttelton this week. <br />
it was exciting to see the project<br />
reach the marine stage.<br />
“It’s another step closer to<br />
cleaner water in Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
which is an end goal we’re<br />
all committed to.”<br />
The Governors <strong>Bay</strong> pipeline<br />
should be complete by the end of<br />
this year with the Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
pipeline due for completion<br />
in early 2019.<br />
Currently, wastewater from<br />
Lyttelton, Governors <strong>Bay</strong> and<br />
Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> is treated<br />
at wastewater treatment plants<br />
in each of the townships before<br />
being discharged through outfall<br />
pipelines into Lyttelton<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
Under the new scheme, untreated<br />
wastewater from Governors<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> and Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
will be pumped through the<br />
submarine pipelines to a new<br />
pump station on Simeon Quay in<br />
Lyttelton.<br />
It will then be piped through<br />
the Lyttelton Tunnel to the<br />
Woolston pump station and<br />
onto the Bromley wastewater<br />
treatment plant, where it will<br />
be treated. From there it will be<br />
discharged out to sea through the<br />
Christchurch Ocean Outfall.<br />
PARKING: This section of Lyttelton St west may get angled<br />
and residents-only parking after feedback showed strong<br />
support for both. <br />

INNOVATIVE: Maree Henry<br />
at her shop Henry Traders on<br />
London St. <br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
ABOUT 15 years ago Maree<br />
Henry was at an open home<br />
in Lyttelton when she took a<br />
photograph out the window – a<br />
view of Lyttelton Port.<br />
She still has it.<br />
And a while ago it got her<br />
thinking about living in the port<br />
town.<br />
“How we all have a different<br />
view from our windows, a different<br />
relation to the harbour.”<br />
So last year, as an experiment,<br />
Ms Henry put a disposable camera<br />
into circulation in Lyttelton.<br />
It was boxed with instructions<br />
to take a photo from a window<br />
in your house, record the street<br />
and the angle of your view in a<br />
small booklet, and then pass the<br />
camera on.<br />
That camera arrived back<br />
recently and Ms Henry said it<br />
was fascinating to see how it had<br />
travelled from place to place.<br />
“The handwriting was quite<br />
lovely; just recording the direction<br />
of the view and the street.<br />
The first view was recorded as<br />
‘looking west from London St,<br />
then looking east from Cressy<br />
Tce.’ Some took a picture from<br />
the back so you were still getting<br />
a view but it was the hills. Other<br />
people wrote, ‘the tugboat coming<br />
in’ and ‘light on Quail Island<br />
looking east.’<br />
Now she’s seen how it could<br />
work, Ms Henry is planning a<br />
book project based on capturing<br />
views from the eyes and windows<br />
of Lyttelton residents.<br />
Though still in the planning<br />
stages she hopes later this year,<br />
(probably later in the spring) to<br />
release 20 disposable cameras<br />
into the community through<br />
her gift shop, Henry Trading on<br />
London St.<br />
Take a photo, then pass it on.<br />
With so many cameras, there’s<br />
room for some ‘collateral damage’<br />
she said, estimating around<br />
400 photos should come back.<br />
From these she will make a<br />
book to sell at her shop.<br />
“I’m interested in the idea that<br />
it’s not up to me, it’s up to fate,<br />
I don’t have control. That anonymity<br />
and the organic nature<br />
of it – as soon as you pass them<br />
out you just cross your fingers<br />
and hope they come back.”<br />

SUMNER athlete John<br />
Hellemans reckons triathlons<br />
can be addictive and harmful.<br />
But he still plans to be on the<br />
start line at the <strong>2018</strong> ITU World<br />
Triathlon grand-final on the<br />
Gold Coast next month.<br />
The world-class triathlete and<br />
coach has just published a new<br />
memoir, in which he explores<br />
some of the tough choices endurance<br />
sports athletes have to<br />
make.<br />
In the book Never, Ever Give<br />
Up? he talks about the social<br />
and physical toll of sports like<br />
triathlon.<br />
Hellemans emigrated from the<br />
Netherlands to New Zealand in<br />
1978. He has combined a career<br />
in general practice and sports<br />
medicine with competing and<br />
coaching in triathlon for nearly<br />
40 years.<br />
“Each year, there was something<br />
new in triathlons relating<br />
to training techniques, race<br />
options, equipment or rule<br />
changes. I loved the dynamic<br />
development of this novel sport,<br />
it kept me interested,” he said.<br />
As his sporting career progressed<br />
and he juggled it with<br />
his family and medical practice<br />
commitments, he began to realise<br />
the significant personal cost<br />
that triathlons can have.<br />
“It’s a very addictive thing.<br />
From a sports medicine perspective,<br />
it can be too much and it<br />
can be harmful – socially in<br />

Hellemans explores ‘addictive’<br />
triathlons in latest book<br />
PHYSICAL TOLL: John<br />
Hellemans book Never, Ever<br />
Give Up? looks at the social<br />
and physical toll of sports<br />
like triathlon.<br />
•The book is on sale at Take<br />
Note Ferrymead.<br />
regards to your relationships<br />
with friends and family, as well<br />
as physically.”<br />
The memoir, published by<br />
Canterbury University Press,<br />
recounts his adventures as a<br />
young doctor in Blenheim and<br />
tells how he was captivated by<br />
the relatively new sport of triathlon<br />
while watching a television<br />
broadcast of the 1979 Les Mills<br />
New Zealand Ironman Championship<br />
in Auckland.<br />
He went on to win six national<br />
titles and represented<br />
New Zealand at several world<br />
championship events and the<br />
1990 Commonwealth Games.<br />
As an amateur, he has won<br />
eight age-group world championship<br />
titles. In October 2013,<br />
at the age of 60, Hellemans<br />
made the decision to compete<br />
in the Hawaiian Iron Man, long<br />
considered the ultimate test in<br />
triathlon where, in excruciating<br />
heat, he found himself staggering<br />
and miserable – but he did<br />
not give up.<br />
“Life used to be about surviving<br />
and meeting basic needs. For<br />
many of us, the modern western<br />
life is too cushioned, so we challenge<br />
ourselves to suffer in other<br />
ways. Endurance sport strips<br />
you bare and you are confronted<br />
with yourself. That is part of the<br />
attraction. But at a certain point<br />
it’s about realising this suffering<br />
may not be good for me.”<br />
An exercise-induced cardiac<br />
event in 2015 brought the message<br />
home again.<br />
But he’s not ready to give<br />
up just yet: The Gold Coast is<br />
calling.<br />

Our People<br />
Giving kids the ride of their life in<br />
Sumner Valley Riding School owner Lisa Hadfield<br />
talks to Sarla Donovan about growing up in the<br />
valley, how the school got started and the night her<br />
donkey Tilly went on a pub crawl<br />
HAPPY FAMILY: Lisa Hadfield<br />
with Tilly the Wonky Donkey<br />
and the Ziggie, a border collie<br />
cross.<br />
Did you grow up around<br />
horses?<br />
No, but I lived in Sumner<br />
from the age of eight. We were<br />
at the back of the valley at 21<br />
Evans Pass. We had no land but<br />
we looked over the valley and<br />
it was all paddocks, all rural<br />
then. There were very few houses<br />
from Wakefield Ave back, and<br />
Sumnervale Drive didn’t exist.<br />
There were heaps of horses and I<br />
hung around the horsey girls. My<br />
first horse was called Lisa, I got<br />
her when I was 13. She lived till<br />
she was 41, a white anglo-arab<br />
mare. We got a beautiful foal out<br />
of her called Kalina.<br />
Where did you go to school?<br />
I went to Sumner School.<br />
My dad worked at Dunlop and<br />
mum made rag dolls. They also<br />
had some craft shops. They had<br />
the Charlotte Jane in Lyttelton<br />
and mum used to sit at home<br />
and make rag dolls. I had three<br />
brothers and one sister. We all<br />
grew up here, we loved it, loved<br />
the valley. I still live here and I’m<br />
54 now.<br />
Did you start competing<br />
when you got Lisa?<br />
No, none of us in the area<br />
could because we didn’t have<br />
parents that had horse floats or<br />
a car big enough to pull a horse<br />
float. If we went anywhere, you<br />
would have to ride, so those who<br />
joined Ferrymead Pony club had<br />
to ride there the morning of a<br />
rally and then ride home at the<br />
end.<br />
But when I had my daughter<br />
Holly, she’s 30 now, I got her<br />
a donkey and then I went out<br />
and competed with donkeys.<br />
The donkey people were just so<br />
relaxed and friendly and that’s<br />
where I enjoyed showing. We’d<br />
turn up at all the A & P shows –<br />
Canterbury, Hawarden . . . I did<br />
that for many years.<br />
How are donkeys different to<br />
horses?<br />
Their natural reaction is to<br />
stand still and they are smoother<br />
for young children to sit on.<br />
They have a smoother and slower<br />
movement. Whereas a pony is a<br />
flight animal, and often they’re<br />
fatter and rounder and a lot<br />
gigglier to sit on for young riders.<br />
Tell me how the riding school<br />
got started?<br />
We had the Terracotta Shop<br />
where the Coffee Culture is,<br />
my husband was a potter. And<br />
one day a lady walked in, an<br />
awesome lady. She asked if I<br />
could take her three children for<br />
riding lessons. So I went out and<br />
bought two more ponies so then<br />
I had four (with Lisa and Kalina)<br />
and I started lessons and it just<br />
grew from there. The chap who<br />
had the lease on the land, (the<br />
late) Barry Kerr from Suburban<br />
Estates passed the lease on to<br />
me and then he sold it to the<br />
council and I continued leasing it<br />
from them. I’ve had a wonderful<br />
relationship with the council all<br />
these years.<br />
How many horses do you own<br />
and who’s your favourite?<br />
Eight ponies and horses and<br />
one beautiful donkey. I don’t<br />
have a favourite but my own<br />
horse is called Gizmo. He’s a<br />
retired racehorse, a 16.3 hand<br />
dark bay thoroughbred gelding.<br />
He’s a bit spoilt, his work ethic<br />
is terrible, you wouldn’t employ<br />
him. I do light level-showing on<br />
him, not the high open classes<br />
because he’s not ready. He’s in<br />
the green horse class so you don’t<br />
have to canter.<br />
I’m training him to be a nice<br />
riding horse and taking him out<br />
to do dressage. My daughter has<br />
her own horse, she does 1.5m<br />
eventing and we’re also training<br />
four riders to compete at the<br />
Springston Trophy. Equestrian<br />
sport is big in New Zealand but<br />
you don’t hear a lot about it.<br />

What did you do before you<br />
started the riding school?<br />
When I was really young,<br />
I worked at St John of God<br />
Church as a house mother for<br />
young boys with problems. I’ve<br />
worked in retail, and then in the<br />
Terracotta Shop. We sold mainly<br />
high-end art work – people like<br />
Paul Fisher, Dennis Hadfield<br />
and some others. It was a gallery<br />
really. Then I got more and more<br />
into the riding school and it<br />
needed more attention so I spent<br />
more time on that.<br />
It must be fun having a job<br />
working with animals?<br />
Yes it is. Although I have<br />
two part-time jobs and I’ve just<br />
worked the last two days and<br />
nights with 15min between my<br />
day and night jobs. So when I get<br />
down to the paddock I just stand<br />
there and go, how beautiful, just<br />
how beautiful and how lucky I<br />
am. It’s a little piece of paradise<br />
YOUNG<br />
RIDERS:<br />
Members of<br />
the Sumner<br />
Valley Riding<br />
School after a<br />
day out at the<br />
Ferrymead<br />
Show Jumping<br />
Day.<br />
down there. I’ve now got fourth<br />
generation riders who I taught<br />
to ride bringing their children to<br />
learn on the same donkey they<br />
learnt on. I’ve even done a hens’<br />
night with one of my former<br />
riders, we put her on Tilly and<br />
walked her round all the pubs in<br />
Sumner.<br />
Are your family involved<br />
with horses as well?<br />
I’ve got great-grandparents<br />
who bred clydesdale horses<br />
in Ireland. My whole family’s<br />
adopted, so it’s my birth family<br />
and my dad rode a bit as a teenager,<br />
probably to show off to the<br />
girls I think.<br />
What advice would you give<br />
to parents with children who<br />
want a horse?<br />
Definitely start with the lessons.<br />
Go somewhere your child<br />
will make nice friends and there<br />
is a good standard of horsemanship.<br />

HEATHCOTE VALLEY School<br />

true recently.<br />
The school was awarded brand<br />
new netball uniforms under a<br />
grant scheme run by ANZ.<br />
Tamsin Page is a co-coach at<br />
the school and applied for the<br />
grant to get new uniforms and<br />
bibs to replace the outdated<br />
bibs which were too big for the<br />
players.<br />
Ms Page said there has been<br />
SCHOOLS<br />
increased interest in netball<br />
at the school over the past few<br />
years, which has put a strain on<br />
its resources.<br />
“This netball uniform grant<br />
will help the players step onto<br />
the court with confidence,’” she<br />
said. ANZ head of sponsorship<br />
Sue McGregor said the bank was<br />
thrilled to help Heathcote Valley<br />
School players with the new<br />
uniforms.<br />
“We hope the teams step onto<br />
court with the confidence to play<br />
at their highest level,” she said.<br />
•Applications for the<br />
grants are open until<br />

Mette Kristiansen<br />
writes about the new<br />
design of Redcliffs<br />
School<br />
This letter has been a<br />
long time coming but<br />
nonetheless, it needs to be<br />
written. As an ex-Redcliffs<br />
School pupil, I like the<br />
design of the new Redcliffs<br />
School. It will have an<br />
amazing outlook, and<br />
being (supposedly?) above<br />
the flood plain will mitigate<br />
that problem. I’m not sure<br />
about the combination of<br />
mixing children with an<br />
entrance on a narrow part<br />
of the busy Main Rd, but I<br />
am sure the school board<br />
has considered that issue.<br />
What I am very<br />
concerned about here<br />
is the loss of the main<br />
heritage buildings – the<br />
old Redcliffs School’s<br />
main block. It would be<br />
a huge loss to the area to<br />
lose these buildings, and if<br />
they were re-used for some<br />
other purpose, they would<br />
be a huge asset to the<br />
community.<br />
Surely there would be<br />
enough room for sport if<br />
all the other buildings were<br />
pulled down and just the<br />
main block was kept for<br />

School first opened<br />
its doors to pupils on<br />
September 16, 1907, so<br />
in my mind it is already<br />
a heritage building. The<br />
Historic Places Trust says<br />
anything prior to 1900 is<br />
covered by the Heritage<br />
New Zealand Pouhere<br />
Taonga Act 2014. So 1907<br />
seems close enough to<br />
warrant consideration.

Sumner Lifeboat<br />
Aspiring crew put through their paces<br />
Every month <strong>Bay</strong><br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> News<br />
will publish a<br />
column from the<br />
Sumner Lifeboat<br />
Institution.<br />
Today coxswain<br />
Blair Quane talks about<br />
the commitment needed<br />
to become an operational<br />
crew member<br />
LAST SEPTEMBER, a cohort of<br />
new volunteers joined Sumner<br />
Lifeboat.<br />
They were all locals and<br />
represented a variety of ages,<br />
backgrounds and skills – all with<br />
the common goal of becoming<br />
operational crew and being able<br />
to take part in lifeboat call-outs<br />
and rescues.<br />
After six months of training,<br />
members of the group are now<br />
passing the first hurdle – moving<br />
from inductee to trainee, but<br />
it will take most of the year for<br />
them to become operational<br />
crew.<br />
For the crew, a call-out might<br />
involve assisting a vessel in<br />
distress kilometres offshore,<br />
rescuing a surfer in trouble off<br />
Sumner beach, or searching for<br />
an overdue sea kayaker in the<br />
bays of Banks Peninsula.<br />
So how do the volunteer crew<br />
COMMITTED: To become part of a lifeboat operational crew takes at least 12-18 months of<br />
training. <br />
members acquire the skills and<br />
knowledge to deal with such<br />
variety? It all comes down to<br />
training.<br />
Lifeboat training involves<br />
completing a set of theory and<br />
practical modules provided by<br />
Coastguard New Zealand, each<br />
of which must be assessed and<br />
signed off by an instructor.<br />
Basic training to become<br />
operational crew covers personal<br />
safety, survival in the water,<br />
health and safety, teamwork, radio<br />
communications, familiarisation<br />
with the local coastline,<br />
search and rescue techniques,<br />
victim recovery, lifeboat handling<br />
and seamanship.<br />
At the core of it all is safety<br />
– both personal and for fellow<br />
crew members. If the lifeboat<br />
crew gets injured or the boat<br />
gets damaged, the mission may<br />
be compromised – so safety<br />
is paramount. The training<br />
culminates in a challenging<br />
practical assessment on board a<br />
rescue vessel.<br />
However, training doesn’t<br />
stop with attaining operational<br />
status – all crew, from newlyqualified<br />
to senior skippers,<br />
must regularly do exercises and<br />
re-assessments to ensure they<br />
remain prepared for anything.<br />
For a volunteer organisation,<br />
the standard of the professionalism<br />
and commitment of the<br />
operational and senior crew at<br />
Sumner Lifeboat is high, and is<br />
something for trainees to aspire<br />
to. Sumner Lifeboat crew are all<br />
volunteers, as are the management<br />
committee and many others<br />
who ensure that this essential<br />
service is one of the country’s<br />
most capable lifesaving organisations.<br />
The costs of training and<br />
equipping about 26 crew members<br />
is growing yearly. Very<br />
little funding is provided by the<br />
Government, so Sumner Lifeboat<br />
needs help – financial or ‘in<br />
kind’ – to enable it to continue<br />
to bring family members home<br />
safely to their loved ones.<br />

Support Port Hills businesses to thrive<br />
National List<br />
MP for Port<br />
Hills Nuk<br />
Korako has<br />
been out and<br />
about talking<br />
to local<br />
businesses<br />
THE SEASON of new<br />
beginnings is almost here as<br />
spring bulbs and buds bloom.<br />
It’s a great time of year to get<br />
outdoors and enjoy local cafes<br />
and garden centres.<br />
Thriving local businesses in<br />
our Port Hills area are key to a<br />
thriving community.<br />
Businesses both large and<br />
small enhance local activity and<br />
generate new jobs. They are a<br />
valuable asset and we are really<br />
fortunate in the Port Hills bays<br />
and beyond with businesses<br />
that connect so well with our<br />
community. They are our neighbours.<br />
When I travel through the<br />
Port Hills, it is easy to see that<br />
each township has its own<br />
unique character and charm that<br />
contributes to that community’s<br />
identity.<br />
Local small business entrepreneurs<br />
are involved in the community.<br />
They sponsor local clubs<br />
and school kids, they donate to<br />
good causes and support local<br />
events. They generally employ<br />
local people, creating the opportunity<br />
for them to live and work<br />
locally, attend the local schools,<br />
and be part of the community on<br />
a daily basis.<br />
Bus drivers, port workers,<br />
teachers, retail assistants and so<br />
many others all contribute to our<br />
community daily on many different<br />
levels of service, support<br />
and care. They get to know us<br />
well and how the community is<br />
feeling.<br />
When I am out and about, I<br />
ask them for their view on how<br />
SPRING: Nuk Korako is encouraging Port Hills residents to<br />
get out and visit local businesses such as cafes and garden<br />
centres.<br />
people are feeling, what their<br />
concerns are and their aspirations.<br />
Some of the feedback is<br />
that they want a really strong<br />
economy as that impacts on their<br />
jobs and their life, they want<br />
more support for mental health,<br />
a fair work place and the best<br />
environment for themselves and<br />
their families.<br />
I agree with them on all accounts.<br />
That is why you may<br />
have noticed my billboards<br />
announcing public meetings on<br />
various topics to hear your views.<br />
It is important for us to support<br />
work places on our doorstep<br />
so they can continue to thrive<br />
and prosper.<br />
The ingenuity and resourcefulness<br />
of our local business<br />
community is very much alive<br />
and well.<br />

Learn about gardening at a<br />
horticultural society meeting<br />
The Canterbury<br />
Horticultural Society’s fruit<br />
and vegetable growing<br />
meetings start next week.<br />
Each event will offer an<br />
opportunity to learn and<br />
discuss techniques, buy<br />
seeds and share stories<br />
SPRING flowers blossoming<br />
throughout the city are a clear<br />
signal that it’s time to get your<br />
vegetable garden set up and<br />
ready to go.<br />
To help the Canterbury<br />
Horticultural Society has set up<br />
a specialist fruit and vegetable<br />
group focusing on edible<br />
gardening.<br />
Organisers say the group<br />
provides an invaluable way<br />
for new gardeners to learn<br />
how gardens are managed<br />
in each season, and learn<br />
about techniques such as crop<br />
rotation, composting, and<br />
fertilising.<br />
The first session will focus<br />
on tips and tricks for growing<br />
plants from seeds. Experienced<br />
Christchurch home gardener<br />
Phil Ducker will give a<br />
demonstration on how best to<br />
plant seeds.<br />
Mr Ducker’s presentation<br />
aims to provide answers on<br />
where to plant, how close<br />
to plant, how deep to plant,<br />
which companion plants go<br />
best together, which are better<br />
separate, and which plants<br />
could be directly sown in the<br />
garden.<br />
Society programme coordinator<br />
Michele Moore said<br />
there is a lot to learn about the<br />
subject.<br />
“There will be<br />
recommendations on where<br />
to get your seed and which<br />
varieties do well here in<br />
Canterbury. Each variety has<br />
particular requirements, so<br />
success depends on getting<br />
these things right,” she said.<br />
It was important to share<br />
that information down the<br />
generations so that it is not lost,<br />
Mrs Moore said.<br />
Each month, Peter Saunders<br />
will present a segment of his<br />
running commentary, A Visual<br />
Guide To Gardening Through<br />
The Year, which will focus<br />
on what he has been doing in<br />
his garden. By following Mr<br />
Saunders’ progress, it is hoped<br />
other attendees can gain some<br />
insights to apply in their own<br />
gardens.<br />
The meetings will be held<br />
monthly with plants, books and<br />
tools available for purchase, as<br />
well as raffles and refreshments.<br />
The Canterbury Horticultural<br />
Society will hold monthly<br />
meetings at the Deaf Society<br />
rooms, 80 Fitzgerald Ave<br />

ADVERTORIAL<br />
Earthquake claims<br />
still not settled?<br />
Our newspapers are full of stories<br />
recounting the problems many home<br />
owners are having in settling their<br />
earthquake claims. EQC’s repairs<br />
failing, and insurance companies not<br />
meeting their<br />
obligations,<br />
are common<br />
problems being<br />
experienced.<br />
Aurum Building<br />
Brokers manager,<br />
Chris Seque,<br />
advises that to<br />
be in a position<br />
to challenge EQC and/or your insurer,<br />
you need “best” evidence.<br />
Homeowners need to prove their loss:<br />
1. The property has suffered<br />
earthquake damage<br />
2. The property is covered by<br />
an insurance contract for the<br />
damage.<br />
3. The damage needs to be<br />
appropriately assessed.<br />
4. A reinstatement<br />
solution needs to<br />
be prepared that<br />
describes the standard<br />
of repair required in<br />
terms of the insuarnce<br />
policy and the EQC<br />
act.<br />
5. The cost of<br />
reinstatement needs to be<br />
quantified.<br />
Chris advises that Aurum Building<br />
Brokers has been helping Christchurch<br />
home owners for the past six years<br />
in preparing the evidence portfolios<br />
needed for advocates and lawyers<br />
to negotiate their claims with insurers.<br />
Aurum’s professional network can<br />
introduce homeowners to the people<br />
who can provide evidence written in<br />
a format to challenge the assessments<br />
provided by EQC’s or the insurer’s<br />
appointed experts.<br />
If you are uncertain about your claim<br />

Steele stepping back from his ‘own club’<br />
• By Matt Salmons<br />
AFTER 26 years being president<br />
of the Sumner Cricket Club, most<br />
people think of it as Ray Steele’s club.<br />
He’s pretty proud of that, but in<br />
his mind it’s time to step back and<br />
let new blood step up to bat.<br />
Mr Steele said he would announce<br />
his intention and successor at the<br />
club’s next annual meeting, but<br />
would remain on as a player and<br />
committee member. He hoped to<br />
also get a grounds-keeping role in<br />
future.<br />
“It’s not going to be easy. I still<br />
want to be involved with the club so<br />
I’m not walking away completely.”<br />
Mr Steele said.<br />
It was a decision he had mulled<br />
over for more than a year. When he<br />
told his wife Heather – the club’s<br />
treasurer – she did not believe him.<br />
“It’s been very emotional for me,<br />
to make the step down. It’s been a<br />
big part of my life so I suppose that’s<br />
quite understandable.”<br />
His first year attending Sumner<br />
games was the year he was born;<br />
1958. His father had just joined the<br />
club as a player.<br />
Mr Steele himself had played in<br />
both junior and senior teams and<br />
joined the committee in 1974.<br />
As president, Mr Steele had overseen<br />
a change in the club’s approach<br />
to fundraising. Taking them from<br />
just surviving season-to-season to<br />
having a “healthy surplus” in the<br />
bank, he said.<br />
The club’s St Leonards Square<br />
rooms had also undergone a number<br />
of changes in that time; the installation<br />
of shower blocks, extensions,<br />
additions of balconies and getting a<br />
liquor licence.<br />
During his tenure as president,<br />
both Mr Steele’s son and young<br />
grandson had played with the club.<br />
His daughter Rebecca was unable<br />
to as there was no women’s teams at<br />
the time, but had represented both<br />
Canterbury and New Zealand. Once<br />
rated the world’s best female orthodox<br />
spin bowler, Mr Steele said she<br />
gained some of her skills by practicing<br />
with club members.<br />
While there were “ups and downs<br />
in every club,” Mr Steele said he had<br />
no regrets looking back and felt he<br />
had been open and collaborative in<br />
his decisions, not spending a cent<br />
unless he had to.<br />
“I always think, it’s not my money,<br />
it belongs to everyone in this club.”<br />
Mr Steele said he was looking<br />
forward to having more time to devote<br />
to the other aspects of the club,<br />
including watching his grandson’s<br />
career develop.<br />
“Once he gets to playing a bit of<br />
afternoon cricket, I might be at a<br />
stage where I’ll be in wheelchair,<br />
struggling to run, so I can spend a<br />
bit more time watching him.”<br />
LIFE MEMBER:<br />
After 440<br />
appearances<br />
with top<br />
Sumner Cricket<br />
Club teams<br />
and 26 years as<br />
club president,<br />
Ray Steele can’t<br />
completely<br />
walk away from<br />
the club he<br />
loves.<br />

SUMNER RUNNING club members recorded<br />
a number of wins at the Canterbury Road<br />
Championships at Burwood Forest on<br />
Saturday.<br />
Four titles were claimed at the event with 27<br />
Sumner runners turning out. There were wins<br />
for Abi Scott-Douglas, Lucy Wheeler, Lewis<br />
Clarke and Blair McWhirter.<br />
In the junior events, Scott Douglas won the<br />
nine-grade girl’s race in a time of 8min 40sec.<br />
Wheeler won the 10-grade girl’s race in 7min<br />
54sec. Cook won the eight and under grade<br />
boys race in 8min 36sec.<br />
In the seniors, McWhirter continued a great<br />
year by winning the 35 and over men’s 10km<br />
race in 32min 6sec. There was also success for<br />
Sumner in the 40 and over men’s race with<br />
David Fitch finishing second ahead of Nathan<br />
Jones in third.<br />

Pregnant women sought for anxiety study<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
PREGNANT women are being<br />
sought for a study on anxiety and<br />
depression.<br />
The Canterbury University<br />
project is studying the effects of<br />
vitamins and minerals – such<br />
as zinc, magnesium, B12 and<br />
vitamin D – on psychological<br />
symptoms.<br />
Said professor and recent<br />
Women of Influence finalist Julia<br />
Rucklidge: “We’re seeing whether<br />
or not we can improve people’s<br />
mental health by using nutrients<br />
that are in your food but at<br />
higher levels than you typically<br />
get out of eating your fruit and<br />
vegetables.”<br />
The study is part of a wider<br />
investigation into how vitamin<br />
and mineral (micronutrient)<br />
supplements could improve low<br />
mood or anxiety.<br />
“So, if this affects you or one of<br />
your family members, you may<br />
be able to participate in one of<br />
our studies,” said Prof Rucklidge.<br />
For the pregnancy study,<br />
women would receive either the<br />
micronutrients or a matching<br />
placebo containing iodine, which<br />
is recommended for pregnant<br />
BREAKTHROUGH:<br />
Canterbury<br />
University<br />
researchers are<br />
seeking pregnant<br />
women to take<br />
part in a study to<br />
see if vitamins and<br />
minerals improve<br />
low mood or anxiety.<br />
women. Participants won’t know<br />
whether they are on the placebo<br />
or not. “Then we follow them for<br />
12 weeks to see what happens<br />
to the symptoms that they presented<br />
with,” Prof Rucklidge said.<br />
“After the 12 weeks, everyone<br />
gets to try the nutrients which<br />
gives us the opportunity to also<br />
study the effects of these nutrients<br />
on the infants.”<br />
Prof Rucklidge said the university’s<br />
mental health and nutrition<br />
research group has been doing<br />
this type of research for 10 years<br />
and has published a lot of that<br />
research. “So far it’s been very<br />
encouraging. All of our studies<br />
are pointing in the direction that<br />
nutrition is incredibly relevant to<br />
mental health.”<br />

School teacher’s clothing range in Ballantynes<br />
Young daughters inspire designs for children<br />
• By Ashleigh Monk<br />
WHEN DELWYN Wright’s<br />
daughters were little, she<br />
struggled to find nice winter<br />
coats for them – so she designed<br />
some herself.<br />
Now the school teacher and<br />
mother-of-two’s designs are set to<br />
fill the shelves of the<br />
Ballantynes department store.<br />
Ms Wright’s 100 per cent New<br />
Zealand wool garments were<br />
picked out of about 80 applicants<br />
to win the Ballantynes Bring it<br />
to the Boardroom competition,<br />
which gave designers from across<br />
the country a chance to pitch<br />
their products.<br />
“I thought I had nothing to lose<br />
and Bring It to the Boardroom<br />
was a great opportunity to pitch<br />
my product to Ballantynes. I<br />
think [the judges] liked some of<br />
the detail in the designs and saw<br />
an opportunity to fill a gap in the<br />
children’s wear market.”<br />
She said her main source<br />
of inspiration came from her<br />
daughters.<br />
“Warm, quality New Zealandmade<br />
clothing is not that easy to<br />
find and there appears to be a gap<br />
in the market when girls reach<br />
six-years-old.”<br />
“I got into clothing design<br />
when my daughters were young<br />
and I couldn’t find them warm<br />
winter coats to wear. In the end,<br />
I made them a coat each and<br />
things really just grew from<br />
there. I started to sell a few coats,<br />
and then I gradually built up a<br />
loyal customer base that wanted<br />
other items like skirts and<br />
dresses.”<br />
Ms Wright’s designs range<br />
from coats and capes to dresses.<br />
They will line the shelves of<br />
Ballantynes’ children’s wear<br />
department for a year. She will<br />
keep all profits made from her<br />
sales.<br />
“Over the next year, I am<br />
hoping to gain lots of advice and<br />
guidance around the designing<br />
and marketing of my product.<br />
It would be great to grow my<br />
brand, gain some wider exposure<br />
and then I will just see where this<br />
leads.”<br />
“Ultimately, I remain<br />
committed to being NZ-made<br />
and locally-produced.”<br />
DESIGN FLARE: Delwyn<br />
Wright took out the<br />
Ballantynes Bring it to the<br />
Boardroom competition<br />
with her children’s clothing<br />
designs.

Pieces of Her by Karin Slaughter<br />
What if the person you thought you knew best turned out<br />
to be someone you never knew at all?<br />
Andrea Oliver’s mother, Laura, is the perfect small-town<br />
mum. Laura lives a quiet but happy life in sleepy<br />
beachside Belle Isle. She’s a pillar of the community: a<br />
speech therapist, business owner and everybody’s friend.<br />
And she’s never kept a secret from anyone. Or so Andrea thinks.<br />
When Andrea is caught in a random violent attack at a shopping mall, Laura<br />
intervenes and acts in a way that is unrecognisable to her daughter. It’s like Laura is<br />
a completely different person - and that’s because she was. Thirty years ago. Before<br />
Andrea. Before Belle Isle.<br />
Laura is hailed as a hero for her actions at the mall but 24 hours later she is in<br />
hospital, shot by an intruder, who’s spent decades trying to track her down.<br />
What is Andrea’s mother trying to hide? As elements of the past return and put them<br />
both in danger, Andrea is left to piece together Laura’s former identity and discover<br />
the truth - for better or worse - about her mother. Is the gentle, loving woman who<br />
raised her also a violent killer?<br />
The Other Woman by Daniel Silva<br />
She was his best-kept secret ...<br />

THIS BOOK<br />
In an isolated village in the mountains of Andalusia, a mysterious Frenchwoman<br />
begins work on a dangerous memoir. It is the story of a man she once loved in<br />
the Beirut of old, and a child taken from her in treason’s name. The woman is the<br />
keeper of the Kremlin’s most closely guarded secret. Long ago, the KGB inserted<br />
a mole into the heart of the West - a mole who stands on the doorstep of ultimate<br />
power.<br />
Only one man can unravel the conspiracy: Gabriel Allon, the legendary art restorer<br />
and assassin who serves as the chief of Israel’s vaunted secret intelligence service.<br />
Gabriel has battled the dark forces of the new Russia before, at great personal cost.<br />
Now he and the Russians will engage in a final epic showdown, with the fate of the<br />
postwar global order hanging in the balance.<br />
Gabriel is lured into the hunt for the traitor after his most important asset inside<br />
Russian intelligence is brutally assassinated while trying to defect in Vienna. His<br />
quest for the truth will lead him backward in time, to the twentieth century’s greatest<br />
act of treason, and, finally, to a spellbinding climax along the banks of the Potomac<br />
River outside Washington that will leave readers breathless.<br />
The inspiration for The Ghost Tree lies in Barbara Erskine’s own personal history<br />
– branching back to the days of Thomas Erskine, her great grandfather, five times<br />
removed.<br />
