Sofia steps up to Junior Tall Ferns<br />

• By Matt Salmons<br />

SUMNER’S SOFIA Kennedy<br />

is finally set to take her first<br />

step onto the basketball court<br />

wearing the silver fern.<br />

Last week the 18-year-old<br />

was told she would be playing<br />

for the Junior Tall Ferns at the<br />

FIBA Asia championships in<br />

Bangalore, India, next month.<br />

“I was actually selected [earlier<br />

this year] as a reserve, but one<br />

of the other players became<br />

unavailable,” she said.<br />

“It will be my first actual<br />

New Zealand basketball<br />

representation. It feels good to be<br />

able to finally put on the silver<br />

fern.”<br />

Sofia also competed at<br />

the cross-country world<br />

championships in Paris in<br />

February and then at the<br />

Australian cross-country<br />

championships on the Sunshine<br />

Coast last month.<br />

$110 rates<br />

increase<br />

may fund<br />

Akaroa<br />

health<br />

centre<br />

• By Matt Salmons<br />

AKAROA RATEPAYERS could<br />

be paying $110 more each year for<br />

four years if a proposed targeted<br />

rate goes ahead.<br />

The Akaroa Community Health<br />

Trust is asking the city council to<br />

put a targeted rate on about 3000<br />

ratepayers in the Akaroa area to<br />

help fund the new health centre.<br />

Akaroa Pharmacy owner Garry<br />

Benson said he did not mind helping<br />

to pay for the health centre,<br />

but wanted more for the $3000-<br />

plus he already pays in rates.<br />

“We get very little service at all<br />

from the council. There’s no rubbish<br />

collection at home or street<br />

lights.”<br />

Akaroa Village Inn owner<br />

Shane Mitchell-Bathgate said the<br />

idea was not well thought out.<br />

“It sounds like a trivial amount<br />

but at the end of the day you’re<br />

making people pay for something<br />

that’s public infrastructure.”<br />

Akaroa resident Victoria<br />

Andrews said she was happy to<br />

help fund the health centre, but<br />

felt a tourism levy should be used<br />

rather than a rate.<br />

from the editor’s desk<br />

I GET the feeling there will be some fallout<br />

over the possibility of a targeted rate to<br />

help pay for the new health centre in<br />

Akaroa (page 1).<br />

The Akaroa Community Health Trust is<br />

asking the city council to instigate a targeted rate for the 3000-<br />

odd ratepayers in the area.<br />

That of course will land on people who occupy their own<br />

homes, and those who have holiday homes.<br />

Pharmacy owner Garry Benson raises a good point in our article.<br />

If ratepayers are asked to pay for the health hub, he wants<br />

more bang for his buck.<br />

“We get very little service at all from the council. There’s no<br />

rubbish collection at home or street lights,” says Garry.<br />

Food for thought.<br />

• By Matt Salmons<br />

A RESIDENTS’ group and<br />

community boards say the<br />

time frame is not fast enough<br />

for a city council report on<br />

resolving issues with flood zone<br />

management policies..<br />

City council staff were set<br />

to recommend an approach<br />

to Greater Christchurch<br />

Regeneration Minister Megan<br />

Woods to fast track the<br />

amendment to the District<br />

Plan at tomorrow’s city council<br />

meeting.<br />

The report said staff would<br />

come back to council with the<br />

outcome in December.<br />

Christchurch Coastal Residents’<br />

United deputy-chairman<br />

Warwick Schaffer said it was<br />

good to see progress, but felt it<br />

should happen faster.<br />

“It doesn’t feel like it’s urgent,<br />

it feels like it’s paying for time,”<br />

he said.<br />

The CCRU would present a<br />

deputation to the city council on<br />

the matter tomorrow, alongside<br />

a joint deputation from the<br />

Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />

and Coastal-Burwood community<br />

boards.<br />

The city council unanimously<br />

voted and requested urgency<br />

on amending the District Plan’s<br />

high flood hazard management<br />

policy with an enabling clause<br />

earlier in the month.<br />

The absence of such a clause<br />

has made it almost impossible<br />

for some Southshore and<br />

Redcliffs residents to build or<br />

renovate on their land.<br />

The fastest method to do<br />

so would be for Dr Woods to<br />

invoke section 71 of the Greater<br />

Christchurch Regeneration Act.<br />

Another option was asking<br />

Cabinet to change the Order<br />

in Council so the independent<br />

hearings panel can be<br />

reconvened to address the<br />

issue.<br />

Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />

Community Board member<br />

Darrell Latham said the December<br />

time frame did not fit with<br />

the urgency the city council had<br />

put on the matter.<br />

“From our perspective, the<br />

time frame is unreasonable and<br />

needs to be more urgent.”<br />

Because of the expected<br />

timing, he said the matter<br />

could drag “well into next<br />

year” before residents saw<br />

CONCERNED:<br />

Darrell Latham<br />

says the current<br />

time frame for<br />

a resolution to<br />

HFHMA issues is<br />

too slow.<br />

any resolution.<br />

In the meantime, the process<br />

of building or renovating in the<br />

high flood hazard management<br />

area would remain the same.<br />

Mr Schaffer said city council<br />

staff had said in the report that<br />

31 resource consents had been<br />

processed in the affected area,<br />

but the CCRU would request the<br />

numbers on how many of them<br />

were for rebuilding an existing<br />

property.<br />

Dr Latham said that even if<br />

people were getting consents<br />

“the social, emotional and<br />

financial cost has been<br />

extremely high and that’s totally<br />

unacceptable.”<br />

Pre-purchasing<br />

plots unlikley<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

• By Matt Salmons<br />

PRE-PURCHASING of<br />

eco-burial plots in Diamond<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> is unlikely to become a<br />

reality, but an investigation into<br />

expanding it could.<br />

Eco-burials in Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />

dominated discussions at a<br />

Cemeteries Bylaw and Handbook<br />

review hearing last week, with 32<br />

of the 40 submissions focusing on<br />

the issue. Submissions were heard<br />

by a panel including city councillor<br />

Mike Davidson and community<br />

board members Helen Broughton<br />

and Melanie Coker.<br />

Cr Davidson said the panel<br />

would recommend to the city<br />

council in November to go ahead<br />

with proposed changes, with no<br />

provision made for pre-purchasing<br />

in Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />

Even only allowing partners of<br />

those interred could see the site fill<br />

up too fast, Cr Davidson said.<br />

“It’s obviously a very sensitive issue<br />

and I understand the concerns,<br />

unfortunately, it’s not that simple.”<br />

Green Burials Group member<br />

Ann Thornton, whose husband Jim<br />

was already interred there, said she<br />

was still confident a “humane” solution<br />

could still be found for those<br />

wishing to be buried in “at least the<br />

same cemetery” as their partners.<br />

• By Matt Salmons<br />

COMMUNITY groups between<br />

Heathcote and Sumner have<br />

clarity about making ideas for<br />

uses of red-zoned land a reality<br />

after a meeting last week.<br />

On Thursday, more than 60<br />

residents from Heathcote, Redcliffs,<br />

Mt Pleasant and Sumner<br />

met with Land Information<br />

New Zealand and Life in Vacant<br />

Places to discuss the process for<br />

turning some of the more than<br />

50 areas of Port Hills red-zoned<br />

land to community use.<br />

Sumner Community Residents<br />

Association member Liza<br />

Sparrow said the meeting had<br />

been a good opportunity for<br />

disparate groups with similar<br />

goals to meet.<br />

Those who attended had<br />

left with an understanding of<br />

LINZ’s processes around groups<br />

utilising the red-zoned areas, Ms<br />

Sparrow said.<br />

“It will break down the barriers<br />

and it will be good for LINZ<br />

to connect with the community.<br />

“There was also a feeling we<br />

need to get the youth involved.”<br />

Now residents’ associations in<br />

those areas would arrange further<br />

meetings to decide which<br />

ideas to take further.<br />

The most out-there idea<br />

mooted on the night was a mudslide<br />

on Richmond Hill, but the<br />

realistic ideas were community<br />

“Nothing crazy, no dance<br />

Mt Pleasant Residents’ Association<br />

Hills red-zoned plots and proximity<br />

to houses made it “difficult<br />

the night, she said.<br />

Cr Templeton said she had<br />

approached city council staff<br />

to investigate whether shipping<br />

containers, used to mitigate<br />

rockfall risk, could be removed.<br />

The containers had been there<br />

so long, Cr Templeton said, that<br />

people may think they had been<br />

forgotten about.<br />

She said they were a reminder<br />

of the damage caused by the<br />

2010 and 2011 earthquakes<br />

and their removal would be a<br />

psychological boost to the community.<br />

Akaroa health centre<br />

may be ratepayer-funded<br />

•From page 1<br />

Banks Peninsula Community<br />

Board chairwoman Pam<br />

Richardson said she could not<br />

comment on the request as she<br />

was part of the ACHT.<br />

She said a report would come<br />

back on whether the rate would<br />

happen, but it was a matter for<br />

community consultation rather<br />

than board approval.<br />

Deputy Mayor and fellow board<br />

member Andrew Turner said the<br />

board had previously expressed<br />

support “in principle” for the<br />

idea.<br />

He said the city council had<br />

consulted on the concept in “a<br />

general sense” and would need to<br />

further consult the community<br />

before making a decision.<br />

“The exact area of Banks<br />

Peninsula subject to the targeted<br />

rate, the amount of the rate, and<br />

its duration are yet to be determined.”<br />

A clause in the agreement to<br />

build the new health centre required<br />

a financial contribution of<br />

$2.5 million from the community<br />

within four years of the centre’s<br />

completion, due around June.<br />

The extra rates would last four<br />

years, or until the money raised<br />

reached the $1.3 million target.<br />

That would combine with the<br />

$1.2 million already raised by the<br />

ACHT.<br />

City council head of financial<br />

management Diane Brandish<br />

said staff were looking into the<br />

request.<br />

ACHT chairman Gordon<br />

Boxall said “services being<br />

established will benefit the entire<br />

Akaroa and <strong>Bay</strong>s community.”<br />

“For $2 per week for a fixed<br />

period of time, this is one way we<br />

can all have the opportunity to<br />

contribute.”<br />

Your Local Views<br />

Redcliffs School<br />

principal Rose<br />

McInerney looks at<br />

the way the school<br />

is working to stay<br />

connected to its<br />

community<br />

ON THE cusp of<br />

our Redcliffs School<br />

production opening,<br />

where great excitement is<br />

building, it seems fitting<br />

to just pause and reflect<br />

on the great spirit of our<br />

incredible community.<br />

For over seven years<br />

Redcliffs School has been<br />

dislocated from our local<br />

community and as such we<br />

are always on the lookout<br />

for ways that we can bring<br />

our children and families<br />

together to just ‘be’ a<br />

community.<br />

Our school production<br />

is one such way.<br />

The production of Annie<br />

is the fourth time that we<br />

have asked Sumner School<br />

to give up their hall facility<br />

for two weeks so that<br />

we can bring our school<br />

together to sing, dance, act<br />

and celebrate the fact that<br />

our school is alive<br />

and well, thriving and<br />

still doing great things<br />

in our home away from<br />

home.<br />

Our sincere and heartfelt<br />

thanks to our neighbours<br />

at Sumner School for their<br />

generosity, understanding<br />

and showing the strength<br />

of community as we all<br />

look after each other in<br />

the best interests of our<br />

precious akonga – our<br />

children.<br />

You rock Sumner<br />

I SUPPORTED Darrell<br />

Latham on his stand.<br />

I have also been pushing<br />

for change on Decision 53<br />

in the District Plan, as I<br />

have spoken to one of the<br />

commissioners who was<br />

on the panel.<br />

They said that it was very<br />

clear in their decision that<br />

they wanted to grant relief<br />

by way of the residential<br />

overlay.<br />

This would ensure<br />

owners of residentially<br />

zoned land that they<br />

could build a residential<br />

dwelling subject to the<br />

RDA, relevant restricted<br />

discretionary activity and<br />

this was to be done on a<br />

non-notified basis.<br />

The RDA rule was<br />

included in the plan,<br />

however, the policy has<br />

been omitted and in the<br />

absence of the policy, staff<br />

seem to think they have<br />

no legal basis to apply the<br />

RDA rule.<br />

WHAT’S NOT to like?<br />

Their relatives approve,<br />

and the location could<br />

not be better. It would be<br />

Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi<br />

nay-sayers are of course<br />

with us.<br />

There are experts who<br />

can apparently calculate<br />

the trajectory of rolling<br />

rocks with uncanny<br />

accuracy.<br />

The Bridle Path and<br />

Major Hornbrook Track<br />

both have signs warning us<br />

of falling rocks, but remain<br />

open.<br />

Mt Pleasant Bluffs track,<br />

Chalmers Track and<br />

Morgan’s Valley tracks also<br />

have the same warnings,<br />

but are closed.<br />

After the 2010<br />

earthquake we breathed<br />

a sigh of relief because<br />

nobody was killed and we<br />

were told it was a once in<br />

5000-year event.<br />

A few short months later<br />

185 people were killed<br />

including Messrs Wright<br />

and Foldesi, but that was a<br />

once in 25,000-year event,<br />

so the experts were still<br />

right.<br />

I wonder if the<br />

statisticians who assess the<br />

risk of physical injury from<br />

falling rocks consider the<br />

mental damage their red<br />

stickers and prohibition<br />

notices do to people who<br />

are just trying to live their<br />

lives?<br />

We each have to consider<br />

the risk of crossing the<br />

road or jumping out of an<br />

aeroplane before we do<br />

it. Can’t we be trusted to<br />

assess our own risk and act<br />

as we choose?<br />

We do not need any<br />

more people telling us<br />

what not to do. The<br />

establishment of the<br />

memorial garden is a great<br />

idea. We should just do it.<br />

LIGHT UP: Te Hekenga viewed at night, with the eels lit up and the woven baskets visible on the<br />

ground. ​<br />

Illuminated eels feature<br />

in new art exhibition<br />

• By Matt Salmons<br />

THE NEWLY-opened Ka<br />

Awatea art exhibition contains<br />

works from a number of artists,<br />

but Lyttelton sculptor Piri<br />

Cowie’s piece literally sits high<br />

above the rest.<br />

The main exhibition was in<br />

a converted container at the<br />

new Lyttelton Museum site and<br />

focused on miniature<br />

pieces inspired by items<br />

in the museum’s collection.<br />

Cowie’s piece Te Hekenga,<br />

the migration,<br />

was suspended above<br />

on a wire between the<br />

Lyttelton Coffee Company<br />

and the opposite<br />

corner of the site.<br />

Sculpted tuna eels<br />

seemed to swim along the wire<br />

and were illuminated at night.<br />

The piece was a way to uplift<br />

the species in people’s minds,<br />

Cowie said, shifting the perspective<br />

of them from something<br />

found only at ground level.<br />

She said it also invoked a<br />

Ngāi Tahu creation myth where<br />

eels came from the heavens to<br />

earth, the lights on the sculpture<br />

evoking the light of the stars and<br />

their celestial origins.<br />

Piri Cowie<br />

“It’s a great way to<br />

acknowledge the sacredness of<br />

tuna.<br />

“I hope it encourages people to<br />

consider them for their future.”<br />

Each eel was made of an<br />

aluminium composite and the<br />

process of designing and manufacturing<br />

them had taken most<br />

of the year.<br />

Cowie said it had “taken a pā”<br />

to complete, with many<br />

Lyttelton residents<br />

lending expertise.<br />

The final work was<br />

installed earlier this<br />

month.<br />

Cowie had also<br />

worked alongside weavers<br />

Paula Rigby and<br />

Leisa Aumua, whose<br />

waikawa, or kumara<br />

baskets, reinforced the<br />

theme of mahinga kai, traditional<br />

food gathering.<br />

“We wanted to show the<br />

connection, it’s not just about<br />

the tuna,” Cowie said.<br />

The waikawa are woven from<br />

green harakeke, flax, and use the<br />

whole blade in their construction.<br />

Cowie called herself a<br />

“contemporary Māori artist,”<br />

whose passion was grown by<br />

her mentors at Canterbury<br />

University’s School of Fine Arts.<br />

That passion for Māori art had<br />

given her many opportunities to<br />

travel and share her work with<br />

indigenous artists from around<br />

the world.<br />

Cowie’s work had long focused<br />

on capturing the mauri, or<br />

the essence, of eels and their<br />

relationship to the land and<br />

people.<br />

“I actually started as a<br />

painter but I moved on to<br />

sculpture.”<br />

She landed her first sculpture<br />

commission in 2009, designing<br />

and producing the bronze eels in<br />

the water feature outside the city<br />

council building on Worcester<br />

St.<br />

The transition to sculpture<br />

involved “a lot of learning” but<br />

Cowie said she just “had to find<br />

a way.”<br />

Another prominent sculpture<br />

of Cowie’s was Kirihao, outside<br />

the Aurecon building in central<br />

Christchurch.<br />

It again had an eel focus, using<br />

another Ngāi Tahu word for the<br />

species; hao.<br />

“Tuna are a taonga for<br />

Ngāi Tahu people. They’re<br />

really highly valued and most<br />

people would be aware they’re<br />

endangered. They’re pretty<br />

precious.”<br />

Sumner athlete<br />

gets call up to<br />

Junior Tall Ferns<br />

•From page 1<br />

She finished 16th at the<br />

Australian champs.<br />

“It’s been a big year and hard<br />

at times to balance two sports,<br />

leadership roles at school and<br />

academics. But it has been<br />

rewarding.”​<br />

Sofia’s first big basketball<br />

tournament was the national<br />

under-13s in 2012, where she<br />

played for the Canterbury B<br />

side.<br />

“I was getting pretty<br />

discouraged, but I slowly<br />

kept going at it and kept<br />

training.”<br />

That perseverance paid off<br />

and, in 2016, she was invited to<br />

a Canterbury Wildcats training<br />

camp.<br />

“It was pretty daunting. I felt<br />

out of my depth, but I figured I<br />

had nothing to lose.”<br />

The year 13 Middleton<br />

Grange student then took that<br />

same attitude to an invitational<br />

secondary school highperformance<br />

training camp​this<br />

month hosted by Kiwi NBA star<br />

Steven Adams in Palmerston<br />

North.<br />

It was her performance there<br />

that secured her Junior Tall<br />

Ferns spot.<br />

“It was just good to play with<br />

other top players and adapt to<br />

other coaches. You have to adapt<br />

and just go hard.”<br />

She said the main lesson the<br />

young players learned was “to<br />

put everything out there on the<br />

court.”<br />

Last month Sofia got her first<br />

taste of the international game<br />

while playing for the Wildcats<br />

against a visiting Hawaii<br />

University side.<br />

She said it gave her perspective<br />

on the United States game.<br />

The Wildcats lost the game by<br />

only four points.<br />

“It was good to get a gauge on<br />

American basketball styles and<br />

to see [winning against them]<br />

was doable.”<br />

Lyttelton Bakery – Taste the goodness<br />

Dessert lovers from far and near are<br />

driving through the Lyttelton Tunnel in<br />

hoards for the Willy Wonka type gourmet<br />

sweet treats at a small Lyttelton bakery.<br />

Chocolate-filled syringes stabbed into<br />

doughnuts, jelly tip cheesecakes and<br />

cookie cake stackers are just some of the<br />

gems flying off the shelves at the Lyttelton<br />

Bakery.<br />

“I went from making 30 doughnuts a<br />

day to 350 a day. Saturday is passing 800,”<br />

said Bree Scott, owner of Glamour Cakes,<br />

based at the Lyttelton Bakery.<br />

“The community has truly embraced<br />

our goodies and we’re so appreciative that<br />

our customers love and enjoy the treats.<br />

Bree Scott, owner of Glamour Cakes and Ian Scott, owner of Lyttelton Bakery<br />

Besides, that’s our goal at Glamour Cake<br />

and the Lyttelton Bakery, to create food<br />

people, love to enjoy.”<br />

Bree, is the 2014 New Zealand Baker of<br />

the Year and founded Glamour Cake, the<br />

newest craze taking over the small port<br />

town.<br />

Baking for about seven years, the<br />

Sumner local completed her three-year<br />

apprenticeship at the Lyttelton Bakery<br />

after finishing Catholic Cathedral College.<br />

In 2015, she worked at a boutique<br />

bakery in Sydney making “ooh la la-type<br />

cakes”, she said. On returning home from<br />

Australia, she developed her own unique<br />

gourmet flare to showcase through her<br />

treats.<br />

“I really wanted to do something<br />

different. It’s not your everyday doughnut.<br />

And it’s really caught on with our<br />

customers.” Bree adds.<br />

She posts her daily creations and<br />

updates to her Glamour Cake Facebook<br />

page which has more than 40,000 likes.<br />

“Social media is amazing,” Bree adds.<br />

“I never expected it to go this big with so<br />

many people, this fast.”<br />

“All the hard work has paid off.” She<br />

smiles.<br />

Due to the company’s fast growth this<br />

year, meeting demand on her own has<br />

been difficult. On top of her average 70-<br />

hour work week excluding Sundays, she<br />

now has one permanent assistant.<br />

Bree feels privileged to be doing what<br />

she loves every day, by creating products<br />

which make people happy.<br />

“I love how our food is bringing people<br />

to Lyttelton. We lost a lot of people and<br />

buildings because of the earthquake.<br />

This ‘food’ draw is helping people forget<br />

or overcome their fear of the tunnel<br />

with delicious, yummy treats in our<br />

picturesque waterfront community.<br />

After losing their London St site after<br />

the 2011 earthquakes, Lyttelton Bakery<br />

was in a portocom for more than four<br />

years before moving to their spot at 8<br />

Norwich Quay.<br />

The passion for baking runs in the<br />

family. Bree’s father Ian Scott, owner of the<br />

Lyttelton Bakery, said the rise of Glamour<br />

Cake put Lyttelton back on the map.<br />

“We’re very proud of Bree, she’s doing<br />

extremely well and teaching the old boy<br />

new tricks.” Ian says with a hint of pride<br />

in his reply.<br />

The Lyttelton Rugby Club would like to thank all their sponsors<br />

for their support for our 53rd annual Titahi <strong>Bay</strong> Trip <strong>2018</strong><br />

Steve Mateer<br />

(Assistant Coach)<br />

Over the weekend of 14-16/9/18 Lyttelton hosted Norths<br />

(Titahi <strong>Bay</strong>) for our annual trip. The game was played in<br />

summer like conditions with both teams prepared to pass the<br />

ball amongst the forwards and backs. Norths dominated the<br />

first half but Lyttelton was still prepared to try their arm at<br />

team moves. The second half started off with Norths confident<br />

and they dominated this half as well. But Lyttelton never gave<br />

in and were courageous throughout the game and scored the<br />

final try of the match with a never die attitude. Although the<br />

score was 58-7 to Norths, both teams kept the high standard<br />

of sportsmanship that this annual match has been played in in<br />

the past.<br />

Lyttelton Rugby Club would like to thank the Lyttelton<br />

Volunteer Fire Brigade for allowing us to use their venue for our<br />

aftermatch function at such short notice. Our thanks to Mark<br />

Buckley and his crew for their generosity.<br />

We would also like to thank all our sponsors, especially our two<br />

major sponsors Dwayne Pool from Marinetec Engineering and<br />

The Lyttelton Port of Christchurch.<br />

The trip was created 53 years ago by two mates, Norman<br />

(Skeeta) Bachop from Lyttelton and Bill (Pincha) Martin from<br />

Titahi <strong>Bay</strong>. They were both coaching teams for their clubs and<br />

over a few drinks in a local Lyttelton bar they couldn’t agree<br />

on who had the better team, so it was decided that Lyttelton<br />

would travel to Titahi <strong>Bay</strong> and hopefully put this debate to rest.<br />

So here we are 53 years later and the trip is as healthy at it ever<br />

was at the start. Looking forward to the 75th year.<br />

AN ANTI-BULLYING app<br />

created by Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />

School pupils has got the<br />

attention of a technology<br />

company after it was the runnerup<br />

for a digital technology award.<br />

Year 8 pupils Fern and Chara<br />

entered the coding section of<br />

Grow Waitaha’s DigiAwards with<br />

their app Bullying Free.<br />

The awards, held at St Margaret’s<br />

College this month, provided<br />

a chance for primary and<br />

intermediate pupils to showcase<br />

their digital skills, creativity and<br />

innovation.<br />

Fern and Chara impressed the<br />

judges with their app’s message,<br />

thought and complexity.<br />

The app was developed during<br />

Bullying Free Awareness Week in<br />

May, and was created to support<br />

young people experiencing bullying.<br />

One of the judges, David<br />

Carter from Stratos Technology<br />

Partners, said he would like to<br />

see work on the app continue.<br />

He said it could be “rolled out<br />

to schools as part of their new<br />

pupil induction process.”<br />

“I would love to see this application<br />

built and, ideally, the<br />

application would be built by the<br />

students themselves with mentorship<br />

from the tech community,”<br />

Mr Carter said.<br />

The app’s design was well<br />

thought out and an “example of<br />

how technology can be used to<br />

help address the issue.”<br />

“We particularly liked the fact<br />

that it was not overly complex<br />

and hence would be reasonably<br />

simple to build and realise value<br />

from,” he said.<br />

The Bullying Free app was<br />

chosen for its message, thought<br />

and complexity.<br />

Final chance to catch<br />

Redcliffs School’s Annie<br />

Year 8 students Paige Bulman and Otto Elworthy talk<br />

about the Redcliffs School’s production of Annie<br />

ANNIE IS a show set in the<br />

1920s about a young orphan<br />

who isn’t satisfied with her<br />

current life and seeks a family<br />

of her own.<br />

takes her in for a week-long<br />

visit, but from there, things<br />

don’t go quite as planned.<br />

Redcliffs School has loved<br />

role – from the youngest<br />

five-year-old puppies to the year<br />

Help trap<br />

pests at<br />

at Living<br />

Springs<br />

• By Matt Salmons<br />

FIT VOLUNTEERS are needed<br />

for pest trapping at Living Springs<br />

in Allandale.<br />

The campground needs people<br />

over the age of 16 to under take<br />

the work for a minimum of two<br />

hours a week or a full day once a<br />

month.<br />

The work is in support of Living<br />

Springs’ three-year-old trapping<br />

project. Park manager Anna<br />

Colombus said there are four trap<br />

lines located in the main gullies.<br />

“Each runs for about 500m up<br />

the gully with three types of traps<br />

to check along the way. We have<br />

Goodnature possum and rat traps<br />

and DOC200 traps,” she said.<br />

“They need to be checked a<br />

minimum of once every four<br />

weeks to remove any bodies and<br />

refresh lures.”<br />

There will be two options for<br />

volunteers. They can either look<br />

after all four trapping lines for a<br />

full day each month, or several<br />

people can take on a line each for<br />

two to three hours a month.<br />

The park will provide full training<br />

on how to clear, reset and rebait<br />

the traps and where the tracks<br />

are located. It will also provide the<br />

relevant safety information.<br />

Gear and training on what to<br />

record in the field will also be<br />

given, as well as refreshments<br />

following the shift. If you want<br />

SPORTS<br />

ASPIRATIONS: Sumner will be looking to emulate the success<br />

of their 2016/2017 senior cricket side when the new season<br />

starts next month.<br />

Sumner aims for strong<br />

start to cricket season<br />

• By Matt Salmons<br />

AFTER A LESS than stellar<br />

finish to last season, Sumner’s<br />

senior cricket team is ready and<br />

equipped to recapture their<br />

former glory.<br />

Club captain and coach Dan<br />

Vann said inconsistency and the<br />

loss of their feeder<br />

team from division<br />

three had impacted<br />

their success last year.<br />

“We did alright, we<br />

got third overall. But<br />

we’d won at least half<br />

of the trophies over the<br />

three years before last.”<br />

Vann said the club<br />

have a list of goals to<br />

achieve this season,<br />

which starts on the<br />

first weekend of next<br />

month,<br />

“At least to win one of the<br />

three cups – either the one-day,<br />

two-day or overall. And to<br />

develop the young guys we’ve<br />

got, continue our successes from<br />

previous years and possibly get<br />

our second team into a higher<br />

grade,” he said.<br />

The club also hopes to start<br />

a women’s team and teams to<br />

play in the grades under division<br />

three.<br />

To achieve those goals, Vann<br />

said the club have “recruited<br />

well”, reinstated their feeder team<br />

and will look at increasing the<br />

number of training sessions each<br />

week.<br />

Dan Vann<br />

The club have offered a<br />

scholarship programme this year<br />

to attract the young blood needed<br />

to secure their future.<br />

Three young players were<br />

selected in the end – spinning<br />

all-rounder Angus Hooper, and<br />

skilled opening bowlers Tyler<br />

Walker and Nawid Mohammady.<br />

For the scholarship<br />

players, Vann said<br />

the club will waive<br />

its fees, provide extra<br />

professional training and<br />

some gear, as well as get<br />

the players in touch with<br />

agents for English teams.<br />

He said they had also<br />

attracted two top-order<br />

English batsmen in Tom<br />

McGeorge and Tom<br />

Davies.<br />

The upcoming season<br />

will have a different<br />

dynamic than the past, Vann<br />

said. It will be the first time<br />

metro clubs would be merged<br />

at the championship and<br />

premiership levels.<br />

“It will be good to play against<br />

some different players and at<br />

some different grounds,” Vann<br />

said.<br />

This season will be the first<br />

with new club president Ross<br />

Gunn at the helm after long-time<br />

president Ray Steele stood down<br />

from the role last month.<br />

The club will also start<br />

the season with a new pitch<br />

after members re-laid it this<br />

month.<br />

MIKE PHILLIPS is ready for<br />

his biggest challenge yet – the<br />

Ironman World Championships<br />

in Hawaii.<br />

The Mt Pleasant athlete left on<br />

Sunday to allow himself three<br />

weeks to acclimatise and scout<br />

the track ahead of the October<br />

13 event. He qualified for the<br />

championships after taking<br />

home silver at Ironman Barcelona<br />

in October, his first ever<br />

ironman event.<br />

He finished the 3.8km swim,<br />

180km cycle and 42km run at<br />

Barcelona in 7hr 52min 50sec,<br />

making him the second fastest<br />

Kiwi ironman ever.<br />

However, the Hawaii course<br />

looks “brutal”, Phillips said.<br />

It includes an ocean swim and<br />

a coastal cycle track against severe<br />

wind and baking sunshine<br />

before finishing with a run<br />

through a lava field.<br />

“Apparently there’s lava on<br />

either side of the track. You’ve<br />

got to experience it to know<br />

what it’s like.”<br />

He said he believes he will be<br />

able to finish in the top 10 if he<br />

has a good day.<br />

“It would be cool to have a<br />

podium finish, but in your first<br />

year it’s probably a bit hard.”<br />

Phillips has spent the last<br />

two years as a professional<br />

triathlete after leaving his job as<br />

a structural engineer to pursue<br />

the sport.<br />

“I’m not sure how long the<br />

body will hold out so I’ll make<br />

the most of it.”<br />

As a professional, Phillips<br />

has competed in more than 10<br />

events each year, most of them<br />

overseas, with prize money providing<br />

enough income to keep<br />

him going.<br />

The transient lifestyle could<br />

be “a bit of a tax”, he said. But he<br />

formed a group of friends who<br />

he regularly competes against.<br />

“You can actually make some<br />

quite good friendships at the<br />

GRUELLING: Mike Phillips is in Hawaii for the Ironman World<br />

Championships on October 13.<br />

events.” He trains for a<br />

minimum of 30 hours every<br />

week, swimming 25km,<br />

running 100km and cycling<br />

500km.<br />

The transition from training<br />

as an amateur to training as<br />

a professional has not been<br />

a”huge jump” as he now has<br />

more time for recovery, he said.<br />

“Even after a day at work<br />

you’re pretty tired and I<br />

found I was getting sick<br />

more and injuring myself<br />

more when I was training and<br />

working.”<br />

Protect your loved ones by checking your smoke alarms<br />

when you put your clocks forward this weekend. If you don’t<br />

have smoke alarms please get them installed right away.<br />

TĀTOU KO MERE E WHAKAPONO ANA<br />

MESSAGE FROM<br />

THE PRINCIPAL<br />

The Marian College Future Focus<br />

team, which includes Board and staff<br />

members, is beginning to plan for<br />

the new school. We are taking the<br />

opportunity to visit other schools, and<br />

in particular, to learn from the many<br />

other rebuilds in Canterbury.<br />

Our aim is to create a school, which is<br />

designed to match our quality teaching<br />

practice. Marian College’s special<br />

Catholic character, school spirit and<br />

traditions, such as Feast Day (pictured)<br />

will also be reflected in our new school.<br />

A key part of the planning will be<br />

engaging with our whole community<br />

for input into the new Marian College.<br />

Marian College thanks the Catholic<br />

Diocese of Christchurch and Bishop<br />

Paul Martin for their ongoing support<br />

and guidance. We are confident the best<br />

decision possible will be made for our<br />

school.<br />

In the meantime, Marian is continuing<br />

to flourish. I hope you enjoy reading<br />

about our latest happenings.<br />

With blessings<br />

HOUSE PANELS BLESSED<br />

FEAST DAY<br />

FESTIVITIES<br />

Feast Day – celebrating the<br />

Assumption of Mary – is the most<br />

anticipated religious event on the<br />

Marian College calendar. Feast<br />

Day includes Mass, which this year<br />

was celebrated by Bishop Paul<br />

Martin SM, a house group singing<br />

competition, talent quest and<br />

chanting competition.<br />

Congratulations to Seymour House for<br />

top points on Feast Day <strong>2018</strong>.<br />

Marian College parents Luke Carey and<br />

Janine Altenburg-Carey have created<br />

four woven house panels, made from the<br />

majestic pin oak which once stood on the<br />

former Marian College site.<br />

The panels represent the four Marian<br />

College houses – Takahe, Deans, Seymour<br />

and Brodie – and were blessed by Bishop<br />

Paul Martin SM at Mass on Marian’s<br />

celebration of Feast Day this term. To<br />

discover the story and meaning behind the<br />

panels, visit the news section on the Marian<br />

College website.<br />

REMARKABLE RESULTS<br />

The Marian College literacy programme<br />

– known as The Writing Group – is<br />

producing remarkable results and helping<br />

to bridge the gaps for some junior students.<br />

“I think a lot of the students are finding the<br />

one-on-one time really beneficial and we<br />

are seeing the results. As well as measuring<br />

progress, for us it’s been about bridging the<br />

gap for these students, so they are better<br />

placed to catch up and be closer to the level<br />

they should be at,” explains teacher Ellie<br />

Caradus who heads The Writing Group.<br />

Marian College Principal Mary-Lou<br />

Davidson is impressed with the writing<br />

group’s progress.<br />

BIG SMILES NO MATTER THE CONDITIONS!<br />

Our sports teams are living examples<br />

of our school values of courage,<br />

perseverance and commitment. Well<br />

done to all our teams, coaches and parent<br />

supporters who travelled to compete in the<br />

Secondary Schools Winter Tournament this<br />

month. Go Marian!<br />

There really is no<br />

substitute for dedicated teachers<br />

working closely with students.<br />

The progress we are seeing is a<br />

result of positive relationships<br />

between skilled Marian staff,<br />

and students who feel supported.<br />

Mary-Lou Davidson<br />

Caradus heads The Writing Group.<br />

Marian College is part of the Catholic<br />

schools support each other to lift student<br />

achievement. The schools target agreed<br />

focus areas, such as literacy, which are<br />

funded and supported by the Kāhui Ako.<br />

Kirsty Nixon<br />

Friends in high places<br />

Celebrating our Tui<br />

“The Tui’s sing-songy warble is in the<br />

distance as I write. Often when<br />

I’m outside I answer back with a<br />

somewhat substandard whistle<br />

to try and make them answer.<br />

At the edge of the path leading<br />

down to the bridge is a large<br />

tree. Most of the year it sits in<br />

a rather unspectacular manner<br />

waiting for it’s time in the sun.<br />

Then, as if from nowhere, it<br />

bursts into flower. Great clusters<br />

of colour embellish it’s branches.<br />

And then they come. The Tui. I once<br />

counted twenty eight Tui from near and<br />

far feasting on the nectar with frenzied passion.<br />

The beauty of the tree and the Tui’s song was<br />

enchanting.<br />

Ever watchful on flax fronds or drunk on fresh Kowhai<br />

nectar, our Tui with their sheeney feathers and white<br />

bib are captivating; that haunting call to another bird<br />

travelling through the bush. As a New Zealander, it<br />

is the sound I most associate with<br />

home.” Kirsty Nixon<br />

Kirsty spent her early working<br />

career in the advertising<br />

industry pushing her brain to<br />

explore words and imagery.<br />

However the artistic pull was<br />

strong and she chose to become<br />

a fulltime artist in 1997.<br />

Although she has explored other<br />

subjects, she is constantly<br />

drawn to the New Zealand<br />

landscape in its various guises.<br />

Her imagery often brings the native<br />

bush to the foreground to give the feeling of stepping<br />

into the scene, the coastline just within reach in the<br />

background.<br />

Kirsty lives in Auckland with her husband and two<br />

children.<br />

Kirsty exhibition runs from <strong>September</strong> 29 to 24<br />

October at Little River Gallery.<br />

Before you leave the Expo take your tired feet over to the Southern Reflexology<br />

Group Lounge and treat yourself to a relaxing reflexology treatment.<br />

The ancient Chinese practice of reflexology, a manual therapy focusing on the<br />

feet, has recently enjoyed a surge in popularity as a modern holistic therapy to<br />

relieve pain and stress. Reflexologists believe that different areas on your feet and<br />

hands correspond to other parts of your body, and massaging them stimulates<br />

your parasympathetic nervous system to heal itself. Reflexology can help to create<br />

a healthy harmonious state within the body and triggers the body’s natural powers<br />

of self-healing.<br />

THE ULTIMATE<br />

WEEKEND FOR<br />

WOMEN IS<br />

BACK!<br />

The Expo is a perfect place to meet for a girl’s day out but it’s also a great<br />

place to escape and have some well-deserved “me time” if you would<br />

rather browse the sites by yourself at your own pace. With so much going<br />

on and with Door sales only $10 there is every reason to visit and none to<br />

stay at home!<br />

Renee Murray from NZME Events says “Our aim is to have as wide of a<br />

range of companies involved with the Expo as possible. Women are all<br />

different and their individual interests are so diverse. One woman may<br />

be interested in gourmet food but the woman beside her may be more<br />

interested in organic skincare or booking a V8 Supercar drive. We have<br />

artisan crafters like jeweller Debra Fallowfield exhibiting alongside national<br />

brands like Vivo Hair and Suzuki. It’s great on the weekend to see all the<br />

various women visit the show, from teenagers to business women, mothers<br />

to grandmothers and friends simply enjoying each other’s company”.<br />

living into a business venture, part-owning Riot Foods, which consists of<br />

sub-brands Clean Paleo and Poppy and Olive which you can both discover<br />

at the Women’s Lifestyle Expo.<br />

Zealand with gorgeous original products often not found in shops including<br />
