Clock tower 

tenders 

being 

sought 

this week 

• By Louis Day 

TENDERS WILL be called 

for this week to repair 

the earthquake-damaged 

Scarborough Clock Tower. 

The city council wants to 

appoint one contractor to 

undertake the repairs of the 

Scarborough and New Brighton 

clock towers. 

City council head of parks 

Andrew Rutledge was confident 

its repair strategy would save 

ratepayers’ money by having 

one contractor handle both 

towers. 

“We believe the cost for 

keeping the scaffold up is 

minor, considering the cost 

efficiencies in packaging both 

projects together. The tenderers 

also require the scaffold to be 

up to fully inspect the structure 

and damage so that they can 

price their tender.” 

Repairs are yet to start in 

spite of the scaffolding being in 

place since February last year. 

The scaffolding is also costing 

ratepayers $1500 per month. 

Once a contractor has been 

secured, repairs are expected to 

take six months to complete.

TICKING: The scaffolding around the 

Scarborough Clock Tower is costing 

ratepayers $1500 a month but work to 

repair the tower has still not started. 

Stink in 

Akaroa 

over 

dog poo 


ANGRY AKAROA residents are 

saying their town has a dog poo 

problem. 

Accusations ranged from 

owners watching their dogs’ 

poo on other peoples’ lawns to 

allowing their dogs to roam free 

and poo wherever they please. 

One resident grew so 

frustrated with a dog pooing on 

their lawn that they collected the 

droppings into a large bag before 

redistributing them on to the 

owner’s lawn. The resident said 

they have not found dog poo on 

their lawn since. 

The issue erupted on the 

Akaroa Buy and Sell page after a 

resident on Seaview Rd posted a 

photo of a dog dropping that was 

left on their back doorstep. 

The disgruntled resident told 

Bay Harbour News they had 

found dog poo on their back 

doorstep three times in the last 

week. 

“I actually saw the tail end of 

the dog and I tried to catch it. 

It just jumps over my fence and 

gate.”

from the editor’s desk 

SOME THINGS take time. 

Repairing the Scarborough Clock Tower 

is a case in point (see page 1). 

But finally, the timeline for its repair has 

taken another click forward. 

Tenders are about to be called for its 

repair. The plan is to engage the same contractor to do both the 

Scarborough and New Brighton clock towers (which also needs 

fixing). 

The city council says this will save ratepayers’ money. It is 

hard to argue with that, but repairing the Scarborough Clock 

Tower has been a longtime coming. 

At the end of the day, there is only so much money in the 

council coffers, and only so many contractors, so to be fair 

everything damaged by the quakes can’t be done at once.

2 February – 6 March 2019 

Although born and raised in the American Midwest, John Emery 

has spent the past twenty-five years shuttling back and forth 

between Dayton, Ohio and Burkes Pass, New Zealand, where he 

established a second home and studio in 2000. These places — 

so far distant in miles and cultural experience — have distinctly 

shaped Emery’s vision and art. 

My painting process typically begins with a solitary object, my 

sketchbook journal, or a bird’s song that triggers my curiosity, 

a visual narrative is then constructed. As with all my works, some 

elements become three-dimensional as I form them from paper, 

the most versatile material I know. Thus, the tromp l’oeil illusion 

of a painted object and the reality of a constructed object shift the 

perspective and perception of the work and force the viewer to 

consider the point where reality and the imagined meet. 

The paintings, like memories, are often not what they seem. 

The result is a personal narrative.

Visiting teens likely troublemakers 


VISITING teenagers may have 

been the troublemakers at the 

Sumner skate ramp over the 

holidays. 

Residents have posted on the 

Sumner Community Facebook 

group, angry at some of the behaviour 

at the Nayland St skate 

ramp. 

One woman said she was 

abused by a group of teenagers 

believed to be about 14, before 

they threatened to run the 

woman and her three-year-old 

son over with their skateboards. 

Another 

woman said 

she had objects 

thrown at 

her car on a 

few occasions 

when driving 

her children 

Franco Lovrich 

home at night. 

Both women 

did not wish to 

speak to the Bay Harbour News. 

Red Snapper fish ’n’ chip 

shop owner Adam Jenkins was 

convinced the teenagers causing 

trouble were visitors. 

“There was a bunch of riff-raff 

out here that day, they came in 

here and got lunch, not kids I 

have seen before.”

There have also been issues

been told to leave the centre.

ISSUES: Visiting teenagers are suspected to be behind the incidents at the Sumner skate 

ramp 

police were not aware of the 

incidents. 

“The issue with Facebook is 

that we don’t monitor social 

media sites, it is imperative 

people report directly to us. 

That way we can get an accurate 

judgement of offences as they 

occur and from there we can 

prioritise resources.”

SAFE FOUND 

The safe stolen from the Lyttelton 

Top Club at the end of December 

has been found. Police found it 

in the Tai Tapu area along with 

a canvas bag that the club used 

to store money in. The safe was 

completely empty and had been 

burnt and painted black. Club 

manager Trudi Marshall did 

not wish to disclose how much 

was stolen but said there was a 

considerable amount inside. 

REBUILD BEGINS 

A rebuild has started at BP 

Redcliffs petrol station. The last 

of its fuel was sold last week. 

The rebuild is expected to be 

completed by the end of May. The 

workshop, which has been closed 

over the Christmas holidays, will 

not reopen until the rebuild has 

been completed. 

GRASS WARNING 

Firefighters are advising residents 

to trim the grass surrounding 

their house to protect themselves 

from possible vegetation fires. 

Lyttelton Volunteer Fire brigade 

Chief Officer Mark Buckley

everything they could to protect 

their homes during the summer. 

Mr Buckley said he had noticed

New venue: Resolution 

Hands up if you sat down over Christmas and New 

Year and made plans for the year ahead. A friend of 

mine said they were thinking of opening a gym and 

calling it Resolution. Three weeks after it opened 

they would convert it to a swanky new bar! Whatever 

your New Year goals, aspirations or resolutions may 

have been there’s no doubt, holidays are a great time 

to really focus on the year ahead. Let’s face it, most 

of us like to think we’ve got a bit of a plan in our life. 

Typically we find homeowners think more about 

the possibility of selling their home over Christmas 

and then start to put steps in place to work towards 

an end goal. Perhaps they will start to tidy up the 

grounds, catch up on some maintenance around the 

house, a bit of a freshen up here and there. There 

might be some market research, checking out open 

homes, attending auctions, maybe getting an agent 

around to give an idea of value. We’re well aware 

the decision to sell a property is not made overnight. 

Often it’s a lengthy process 

over weeks, if not months. 

Believe me, we understand 

the process. So with that 

in mind, talk to us about 

how best you can get your 

property ready for sale. 

We’re more than happy to 

provide market advice with 

absolutely no obligation. 

It makes sense to call on 

the knowledge of someone 

in the business of presenting, marketing and selling 

property rather than trying to go it alone. There can 

simply be too much at stake to get it wrong. So call us 

anytime. We’re friendly, we’re experienced and we’re 

local. Or maybe I’ll catch you down at Resolution 

sometime soon!

SUMNER beachgoers have been 

warned to stay clear of the rip 

between Cave Rock and Mariner 

St after two American tourists 

had to be rescued. 

Fifteen-year-old Lui Arnold 

said he was surfing with a friend 

when he heard screams for help. 

“I started paddling towards 


the sound, I had to paddle probably 

500m. When I got closer to 

them, I could kind of see their 

heads bobbing in and out of the 

water.” 

Lui said he and another surfer 

paddled to the swimmers, 

gave them their boards and 

tried to help them get out of the 

rip. 

Learn to Surf owner Aaron 

Lock was in-between surf lessons 

when he heard the screams 

for help. 

“By the time my other instructor 

Oliver and I had got out 

there, Lui and this other surfer 

had given them their boards, 

but their boards were too 

small so we got them on to our 

longboards and paddled them 

ashore.”

Mr Lock said the two tourists 

were lucky to be alive. 

“They were in serious trouble,

“The main message here is to

Controversy grows over Akaroa toilets 

PAGE 5 


AKAROA residents are 

convinced that more toilets on 

the waterfront are not the answer 

in dealing with increasing cruise 

ship numbers. 

City council staff have submitted 

a resource consent application 

for temporary toilets on the 

Britomart Reserve. 

The toilets have been seen as 

necessary by city council as it is 

estimated that cruise ship passengers 

will increase in Akaroa 

from last year’s amount of 

285,800. 

Last year the Bay Harbour 

News reported that cruise ship 

passengers were flooding into 

local businesses due to a lack of 

facilities in the area. Owner of 

the Akaroa Ciné 

Café David Hamilton said 50 

to 60 tourists on average would 

use his toilets in a day, with the 

majority of them not actually 

buying anything. 

However, Akaroa Civic Trust 

chairman Mike Norris said more 

toilets were not the answer in 

easing the effects of congestion 

in Akaroa. 

“They need to do a bit more 

thinking about how this town 

looks, they can’t just keep adding 

more and more toilets to what is 

actually a pretty little reserve.” 

Mr Norris suggested the 

Gaiety Hall toilet block should 

be opened up to accommodate 

cruise ship passengers. 

However, Banks Peninsula 

Community Board chairwoman 

Pam Richardson said that was 

not possible. 

“It’s a very tough one, we 

looked at whether we could 

open the Gaiety toilet block, 

but the reply from city council 

was no, this is a heritage building.” 

Banks Peninsula city 

councillor and Deputy Mayor 

Andrew Turner said it was 

important to cater for both 

tourists and Akaroa residents. 

“We need to be having a 

wider-ranging conversation 

at whether we need to be 

looking at the number of 

visitors rather than the 

infrastructure.” 

ON THE RISE: Cruise ship passengers visiting Akaroa are 

expected to increase from last year’s total of 285,800.

ABOUT 200 trees have been 

removed at Okains Bay camping 

ground. 

The city council removed 

trees from the area as part of 

their Reserve Landscape Plan 

last June. 

Additional trees on the western 

side of the camping ground 

also had to be removed due to 

damage caused by salt water 

inundation in last year’s king 

tides. 

But the felling of the pine, gum 

and macrocarpa trees has left 

some campers “heartbroken”. 

One camper who had been 

going to the camping ground 

for more than 40 years said they 

were “heartbroken” when they 

returned to the area over the 

holidays. 

“It’s taken away a lot of 

natural shelter, it looks terrible, 

they have left a lot of the trees 

just lying around. They have left 

some of the stumps of up to 1m 

just sticking out of the ground 

in some places.” 

The camper said the removal 

of the trees had left campers 

exposed to the sun and wind. 

“Trees that have been killed 

by the seawater in high tide 


SCARRED: Left – The city council’s removal of trees at Okains Bay camping ground has left 

campers heartbroken. Right – The area as it was before the trees were felled. 

Campers ‘heartbroken’ 

over loss of trees 

haven’t been removed, yet all of 

these other ones have.” 

Head of recreation, sports and 

events Nigel Cox said they were 

working to replace some of the 

trees which had been felled. 

“A community planting day 

was held in September. A large 

number of native trees were 

planted into newly-established 

raised gardens. More planting 

in line with the Reserve Landscape 

Plan will be completed 

this coming year.” 

Mr Cox said an arborist 

would be cutting down the 

remaining trees damaged by 

seawater this week.

friend in the US who loves 

drones, some of the stuff he 

does is amazing but they 

have to get pre-organised 

flight plans sorted out to 

fly. But these idiots using 

them need to be taught 

a very nasty lesson along 

with losing the drone. 

Glenn Matthews – 

Really? Is everybody a 

deviant Now? Maybe it was 

completely innocent too? 

Hamish Middleton 

– Few more rules required. 

No flying near homes, 

public spaces only. 

Sandy Brears – What 

about Google Earth. That 

has been around longer. 

Gary Wearing – It 

is getting bloody worse 

spying on girls. That is 

sick. 

Susan Lemish – If 

I stood outside their 

property with binoculars 

they wouldn’t like it. 

Angela Toomey 

– Throw stuff, bring it 

down, they are way too 

invasive. 

Ryan Nield 

– Considering most 

drones are pretty easy 

to bring down, with free 

software, I don’t see why 

every five minutes people are 

complaining about them. 

Karen Whila – So 

over the drone, constantly 

around my house, before 

Xmas. Hoon Hay Rd. 

Andrew Gold – What 

is everybody droning on 

about now 

Tony Howell – 

Shotgun will fix it.

Readers respond to a Bay 

Harbour News article about 

a note left on the doorstep 

of several dog owners in 

Lyttelton threatening to call 

dog control 

Kaye Le Fleur – What’s 

wrong with that note? I have had 

a few dogs and if I received a note 

like that I would 

take responsibility 

and make sure my 

dog was not left 

alone and getting 

bored, I would 

make sure the dog 

would not be able to 

wander, and be very 

happy that someone 

had taken the time 

to notify me before notifying the 

authorities. Nothing worse than 

repeated barking dogs, dog poo 

and wandering dogs. Just be a 

responsible owner, simple. 

Philip Baker – If the dog is 

out roaming then fair enough. 

Jade Mulcahy – Brilliant 

idea. Most dog owners think 

their dog is lovely and think 

everyone else does too – wrong. 

Good thing to do to avoid 

unnecessary confrontation, at 

least they didn’t just ring dog 

control first. 

Ashleigh Jarden – Keep 

your dogs on your property and 

you won’t have an issue. 

Quail Island 

Adventures 

Get the kids into nature and head to 

Quail Island! A great day trip to a real 

island with a fascinating history, in the 

heart of Lyttelton Harbour. Just a 15 

minute ferry ride from Lyttelton. 

Book the DOC hut to stay overnight 

(via DOC website). 

Cassey Millward – I 

understand the roaming, as 

that is a safety issue and no way 

should dogs be taking themselves 

on little adventures. But most 

dogs bark a few times throughout 

the day. I have two dogs and 

they bark at each other when 

they are playing or if someone 

arrives. I have neighbours either 

side who also have 

dogs that bark. None 

persistently, but a few 

times throughout 

the day you will 

hear barking for 

short periods of 

time. People mow 

lawns and cut hedges 

through the day. You 

can’t expect silence 

throughout the day, it’s totally 

unreasonable. I am very grateful 

for the neighbours I have, as 

some people sound like a total 

nightmare. 

Cathryn Rose Creamer – 

Fair enough if a dog is roaming, 

but someone trying to nap in 

the afternoon and dogs barking 

– get ear plugs. Don’t want to 

live near dogs? Then move into 

the country where your closest 

neighbours are 500m away. 

James Boswell – All of 

the things in the letter apply to 

almost every cat owner I know 

too. I’m not condoning the 

behaviour of the owner of this

WEEK 

TWO HOURS, mini golf 

and frozen yoghurt made a 

whole week for Laura and I. 

I can almost guarantee 

that it’s not restricted to 

families where one of the 

parents is at home fulltime, 

but until recently it 

had been six months since 

Laura and I had been on a 

date. That’s been hard. 

You get all caught up in 

parenting and such that 

you can forget what it’s like 

spending time with the 

person you’ve chosen to 

share your life with. 

Getting a little bit of that 

for a couple of hours was 

a great feeling and has, 

honestly, left a positive 

mark on the whole week. 

And all of that was 

thanks to the willingness 

of my mum and step-dad 

to wade into the fray that 

is looking after a wee angel 

going through some serious 

separation anxiety. 

Every week, at least once, 

Vittoria and I stay out at 

their place in Waikuku 

Beach so I can go to 

training with my North 

Canterbury-based dragon 

boat club. 

It makes it easier for me, 

gives Laura a wee break and 

a chance for Vittoria to see 

some of her grandparents. 

Unfortunately, since 

Christmas, and since 

Vittoria’s sense of selfawareness 

has increased, 

seeing me walk out the 

door in training gear 

sets off some serious 

waterworks. 

Any parent will likely 

have a story about the 

heartbreak of seeing their 

wee one balling their eyes 

out as they walk out. Like 

VITTORIA 

& Matt 

PEEKABOO: Vittoria spends time with her 

grandparents so her mum and dad can go on a date. 

out for a five minute trip 

to the shop, or to work, or 

something. 

For Vittoria, the 

heartbreak usually lasts for 

a long time and then starts 

again when I get back, I 

guess to tell me off. 

So asking them to come 

into town to do the same 

seemed like a big ask. 

How would you feel 

asking someone to spend 

a couple hours with 

someone who actively lets 

them know that they are 

horrifically sad they aren’t 

you? 

But this time, our 

charming wee daughter was 

so well behaved (and was 

so incredibly cute) that my 

mum and step-dad offered 

to sit her again so we can 

see a movie. Just imagine 

me doing a little excited 

dance, any kind you like. 

Hopefully she’ll start 

being so good in North 

Canterbury.

Sustainability key 

to organic farming 

There’s something for 

everyone in the realm of 

organic farming but as far 

as Bill Martin is concerned, 

it’s all about sustainability. 

The Training College 

Manager at Lincoln 

University’s Biological 

Husbandry Unit Organics 

Trust (BHU) is happy to see 

a surge in enthusiasm for 

organic food production 

as younger generations 

become more aware of 

environmental concerns. 

He says the growing 

popularity of organic 

production in recent years 

means that graduates are 

now taking what they have 

learned into a broader 

range of sectors. 

“It’s not just about 

growing, wholesaling 

and retailing food anymore. They’re 

going into schools and teaching primary 

and secondary schoolers about the 

importance of sustainable farming and 

gardening and really starting to embed the 

philosophy into the education system.” 

As far as conventional agricultural 

practices are concerned, he says farmers 

should be encouraged to optimise their 

production, rather than maximise it at the 

expense of the environment. 

“We need to change our agricultural 

paradigm and re-evaluate our priorities.” 

Mr Martin says those interested in a 

career in organics should enrol in the 

one-year Diploma in Agri-Food Production 

course, which is open to students either 

with or without university entrance. 

Introduced last year, it includes Tikanga 

and Mahinga Kai components and can 

lead to employment in organic primary 

production or other sectors related 

to organics, especially education and 

hospitality. 

“The course offers a good grounding 

in the principles of organic agriculture, 

teaching the philosophies and histories 

of organics and providing practical 

knowledge of how they are applied,” Mr 

Martin says. 

Apply now for the Diploma in Organic 

Agri-Food Production and begin studying 

in February 2019. 

Grow a career 

in organics 

Lincoln University’s Diploma in Organic Agri-Food Production will prepare 

you for work in the organic sector or your own garden or smallholdings. It’s 

a full-time, one-year programme that covers the theory and practice behind 

contemporary organic agri-food production. 

Join us in February to find out what growing organically on an agricultural 

scale really means.

Freedom campers at 

reserve frustrate residents 


DIAMOND HARBOUR 

residents are calling for 

tighter freedom camping 

restrictions at Stoddart 

Point Reserve. 

Residents have been 

frustrated by freedom 

campers throwing their 

rubbish on the ground only 

a few metres away from 

empty bins. Congestion 

at the reserve means it is 

also difficult to find a car 

park in the morning before 

commuters catch the ferry 

to work. 

Freedom campers are 

currently restricted to staying 

for up to two nights in 

any 30-day period in certified 

self-contained vehicles. 

However, Diamond 

Harbour Community 

Association chairman 

Richard Suggate said the 

current restrictions were 

not enough. 

“That area is not big 

enough to cope with those 

sort of numbers. A few 

years ago it wasn’t a problem 

but now the numbers 

are too high.”

Daddy Cool frontman comes back 

ROCK ‘N’ ROLL: Australian singer Ross Wilson will perform at 

Selwyn Sounds 2019. 

• By Anan Zaki 

THE FRONTMAN of a former 

band famous for its song Eagle 

Rock is coming back to the New 

Zealand for the first time in 

more than 30 years. 

Ross Wilson was the lead 

singer of the group Daddy Cool 

and he will play solo at Selwyn 

Sounds on March 2. 

It’s also the first time that the 

71-year-old Australian will perform 

solo in New Zealand. 

“I’m happy to be coming 

back. I’m sorry it took so long,” 

Wilson said. 

When he last performed in 

the country in the 1980s, it was 

as the lead singer with Daddy 

Cool. 

“[They] were quite big in New 

Zealand, we played there three 

times,” Wilson said. 

“But for some reason I hadn’t 

played there as a solo artist so 

I’m looking forward to it.” 

Unfortunately for Daddy Cool 

fans, Wilson says the band won’t 

perform again following the 

deaths of two band members, 

Ross Hannaford and Wayne 

Duncan. 

Daddy Cool’s last performance 

was in 2014 when they 

were inducted in the Victorian 

Music Hall of Fame. 

He says he 

often plays songs 

from his bands 

Daddy Cool 

and also Mondo 

Rock during 

his solo performances. 

“I have plans 

probably in 

about a year’s 

time where I just 

play Daddy Cool 

music.” 

Wilson’s music career launched 

in 1964, and he is not showing 

any sign of slowing down. 

“This year, I’m already booked 

out solidly until the end of August. 

I’m playing a couple of gigs 

a week, festivals and a bunch 

of stuff with John Farnham 

headlining.” 

“Just in support of him because 

I wrote four songs that he recorded 

over the years,” Wilson said. 

He last visited Christchurch 

a year before the February 22, 

2011, earthquake. 

“I played on a little cruise 

that went from Australia, it 

stopped in Fiordland, Dunedin 

and then Christchurch,” Wilson 

said. 

“Because I was so upset about 

the earthquake, having just 

Jon Stevens 

Leo Sayer 

been there [a year before], I feel 

like I have a connection.” 

Wilson will land in Christchurch 

the day before the March 2 

Selwyn Sounds. He hopes to get 

a chance to explore the city and 

its surrounds while here. 

“I’m not sure how long we’re going 

to be staying there, but it’s usually 

fly in and fly out . . . I’m hoping 

we get a day afterwards and enjoy 

Christchurch and the area.” 

Selwyn Sounds 2019 will be 

headlined by the Little River 

Band, supported by Leo Sayer, 

John Stevens, The Golden Kiwis, 

Peter Urlich, Midge Marsden, 

Automatic 80s and Wilson. 

•Selwyn Sounds will be 

held on Saturday, March 2, 

at the Lincoln Domain.

Tutors’ commitment brings 

results for students 

A genuine commitment to helping 

students achieve in education and concern 

for what happens to them are what brings 

the results for children tutored at Kip 

McGrath Ferrymead, says franchise owner 

Helen Hudson. 

“As they progress through the sessions we 

see them blossom and grow in confidence 

with their learning and that’s so rewarding,” 

Helen says. 

The other key factors that set Kip McGrath 

apart and contribute to students’ success are 

that all tutors have to be qualified teachers, 

and that students have the same tutor every 

time they attend, Helen says. 

“This allows the tutors to build a rapport 

with their students. They work on an 

individualised programme within a small 

group of three to five students.” 

Communication with parents is another 

important aspect, Helen points 

out. 

“We have to be meeting the 

needs of the children as the 

parents see it, as well as what 

we see is needed.” 

Kip McGrath Ferrymead 

has six tutors offering students 

from Year 1-13 tutoring in 

maths and English – covering 

a broad spectrum of spelling, 

writing and reading, with 

the tutors fully conversant 

with NCEA requirements. 

Chemistry, Physics and Biology 

along with English and Maths 

tutoring is available for Year 

11, 12 and 13 students. 

“With the senior students 

we work alongside them, but 

they are really the leader of 

the lesson, which is tailormade 

to their needs,” Helen 

says. 

There is also a focus on 

children with learning 

difficulties, such as dyslexia, 

and for accelerant students, 

who need extra challenges. 

Each tutoring session lasts one 

hour 20 minutes, with about six different 

activities included each time. Sessions are 

run outside school hours, either before or 

after school, with most students attending 

once a week. 

“We also offer one-on-one tutoring for 

adult students, who may need to improve 

their English or maths skills for work they 

want to apply for.” 

There are several funding subsidies

Hudson helping a student 

available for Kip McGrath tutoring. 

Registered Ngai Tahu members receive 

some funding, as do registered members 

of the Rotorua-based Tauhara No. 2 Trust. 

Fletchers also provide funding subsidies for 

family members of their employees. 

Free assessments are offered, and students 

can enroll at any time of the year.

Sumner Tennis

Club president 

Phil Loughnan 

reports on the 

club’s busy 

start to the 

year 

THE CLUB has had a busy 

beginning to the new year. 

The warm summer weather 

has brought members and their 

visitors to the club to play tennis 

and enjoy the lovely playing 

conditions. 

With the lure of the new 

facilities, there has been a 

number of new members joining 

and getting involved in the club 

events. 

Every Saturday at 2pm is 

club day, where members 

and prospective members are 

welcome to join us for some 

social tennis. 

A duty person will organise 

games so that players are of a 

similar standard, which makes 

the games fun. We play men’s, 

women’s and mixed doubles. 

Over the weekend, the 

16 neighbours who share a 

boundary with the club (and are 

all members of the club) played 

for the inaugural Boundary 

Runners Cup. A good number of 

family and friends turned up to 

watch the event. 

It was a closely fought 

competition with the final 

played between Jane and 

Macklan Robertson and Phil 

and Annemarie Loughnan. 

With the club’s three 

refurbished squash courts 

and beautiful new clubhouse, 

the club has been asked by 

Squash Canterbury to host 

the Canterbury masters 

championships and Canterbury 

under-23 championships this 

year. It will be a great honour to 

host these events. 

This year the club is aiming 

to grow its squash membership 

by encouraging new squash 

players to join with a discounted 

membership for two years. 

We are hoping to get several 

more men’s and women’s squash 

inter-club teams made up from 

not just Sumner but also from 

the surrounding hill suburbs 

and harbour areas.

Sumner 

Cricket Club 

captain Dan 

Vann gives 

a run down 

on how his 

side went in 

their home 

twenty20 matches on 

Saturday 

THE SUMNER first team 

played their last twenty20 

double-header round for the 

season at home. 

Taking on the unbeaten 

Merivale-Papanui side, Sumner 

lost the toss and were asked 

to bowl on a typically flat St 

Leonards pitch. 

The match got off to a very 

even start, with Sumner 

picking up an early wicket 

and containing Merivale’s top 

order, but with wickets in hand, 

Merivale were in a good position 

to launch. 

Taking the pace off the ball 

was vital and Sumner spinner 

Jonny Percasky (2-35) and 

Anton Smail (3-16) were the key 

bowlers. Merivale finished on 

a respectable but very chasable 

146/6. 

In reply, Sumner stumbled 

early, losing three early 

wickets, and had to rebuild at 

59/3. Michael Newton-Vesty 

continued his early season form 

with a well-compiled 43. 

Some good striking from Brett 

Taylor brought the momentum 

back for Sumner, but when he 

fell for 24 at 120/6, the game 

was in the balance with Sumner 

needing about eight runs an 

over. 

A couple more wickets fell but 

Dean Smith and Jonny Percasky 

were able to guide Sumner home 

in the last over to get the win. 

In the second match, Sumner 

again lost the toss and were 

unsurprisingly asked to bowl by 

Burnside. They bounced back 

from a loss in the morning and 

knowing they were out of the 

finals, Burnside played with 

freedom and it came off as they 

made a formidable 183/9. Jonny 

Percasky was the pick of the 

HIT THAT: Sumner spin bowler Jonny Percasky lets fly during 

the clash with Merivale-Papanui. 

bowlers with 2-14 from four 

overs. In reply, Sumner were 

positive and many batsmen 

made starts, but unfortunately 

no one made a big score and, as 

a result, Sumner fell short by 29 

runs. 

The twenty20 campaign has 

been very disappointing with 

many close games in which 

Sumner have just lost the 

important moments. And the 

close ones did not go Sumner’s 

way in spite of often being in 

control. 

Sumner now moves on to the 

two-day competition, which we 

have done very well in, so we will 

look to continue this. 

•Check out Des Lyons 

Day at the Sumner Cricket 

Club from 9am on Sunday. 

The fundraising event will 

include a juniors match 

and a social match with 

the Sumner Rugby Club 

taking on an invitational XI. 

The Presidents XI will then 

take on the Club Captains 

XI, which will include two 

Canterbury Magicians – Nat 

Cox and Erin Bermingham. 

There will be fun activities 

for the family like bouncy 

castles, inflatable cricket 

nets, a catching mat, coffee 

carts and music. For more

Community asked to support 

Collett’s Corner development 

Port Hills MP 

Ruth Dyson 

is excited 

to see the 

development 

in her 

electorate, 

particularly 

the community-funded 

Collett’s Corner project 

HAPPY New Year to all 

Bay Harbour News readers and 

I trust that 2019 will be good 

for you and your family. 

Our post-quake communities 

have seen a fabulous increase in 

boldness and innovation – as 

well as the restoration of a sense 

of place and belonging. It is 

wonderful to be part of and to 

watch. 

One of the most exciting is 

the development of Collett’s 

Corner in Lyttelton and, over 

the coming weeks, this project 

is moving to the next step. The 

project is being led by Camia 

Young, an architect and activator 

who bought the property in 

2013 and has been engaging 

with our community about its 

development since that time. 

The development will 

be New Zealand’s first 

community-funded commercial 

development. It will be operated 

on a shared equity basis, with 

anyone who wants to contribute 

a minimum of $100 able to buy 

into the action (literally). 

The first ‘next step’ is the 

equity crowd-funding campaign 

opening for Harbour Basin 

workers and residents and this 

will be followed a week later with 

a public extension. And this is 

how the necessary funds will be 

raised. 

The aim is to start 

construction of the facility 

by spring this year and the 

completed facility would open in 

late 2020 (that’s just next year). 

Turning the gaping missing

tooth in the smile of London 

St into a thriving commercial 

centre is going to be fantastic 

for Lyttelton residents and 

businesses, and the challenging 

and innovative ‘crowd-funding’ 

will make the rest of New 

Zealand – and indeed the world 

– look at Lyttelton and say wow. 

It has been a way of drawing 

people into an exciting vision 

and conversation, and even 

though the concept is new in 

our country, we know that New 

Zealanders have always been 

up for looking at better ways of 

doing things. 

There are few more ‘stand out’ 

ways than this venture.

ON TRACK: It will cost $13,500 to transport this locomotive 

from Dunedin to Little River. 

Locomotive finds 

home in Little River 


LITTLE RIVER Station is set to 

become home to a 62-year-old 

locomotive. 

The Little River Railway 

Station Trust purchased the 

DSA class locomotive 261 from a 

private owner in Dunedin. 

It will arrive on February 14. 

The $8500 locomotive will 

cost $13,500 to transport from 

Dunedin to Little River. 

Christchurch Garden Railway 

Group president and Little River 

Railway Station trustee, Andrew 

Wilson, was confident the 

locomotive would be popular. 

“The idea is to create that 

scene for people to create those 

memories and that locomotive is 

there to help people create those 

memories people can look back 

on for a lifetime.” 

The locomotive was 

introduced into service in June 

1957 and decommissioned in 

April 1985. 

It spent its entire working life 

in the South Island. 

Mr Wilson said once the 

locomotive was placed on the 

rails, the trust would continue 

the restoration of the body 

before working on the internal 

cab and engine.

The Dog that Saved My Life 

Incredible True Stories of Canine Loyalty 

Beyond All Bounds 

by Isabel George 

Five incredible true stories of canine bravery in wartime. 

For as long as dogs have lived alongside man, they 

have saved their lives in wartime with their bravery, 

loyalty and companionship. From the WWII dog that was 

adopted by the Royal Navy as a mascot, torpedoed, shot at 

and registered as a prisoner of war, to the more recent heroics 

of explosives dog, Bonnie, in Afghanistan and Iraq where 

she saved hundreds of military and civilian lives, this is a collection of the most 

incredible and heartwarming accounts from around the world. 

Capturing the fear, uncertainly, determination and undying devotion of these 

amazing dogs and the young soldiers, sailors and airmen they befriended, these 

are truly inspirational tales of loyalty and companionship beyond all boundaries. 

The Woman In The Green Dress 

by Tea Cooper 

1853 Mogo Creek, NSW - Della Atterton, bereft at the loss of her parents, is holed 

up in the place she loves best: the beautiful Hawkesbury in New South Wales. 

Happiest following the trade her father taught her, taxidermy, Della has no wish 

to return to Sydney. But the unexpected arrival of Captain Stefan von Richter on 

a quest to retrieve what could be Australia’s first opal, precipitates Della’s return 

to Sydney and her Curio Shop of Wonders, where she discovers her enigmatic 

aunt, Cordelia, is selling more than curiosities to collectors. Strange things are 

afoot and Della, a fly in a spider’s web, is caught up in events with unimaginable 

consequences… 

1919 Sydney, NSW - When London teashop waitress Fleur Richards inherits land 

and wealth in Australia from her husband, Hugh, killed in the war, she wants 

nothing to do with it. After all, accepting it will mean Hugh really is dead. But 

Hugh’s lawyer is insistent, and so she finds herself ensconced in the Berkeley 

Hotel on Bent St, Sydney, the reluctant owner of a Hawkesbury property and an 

old curio shop, now desolate and boarded up. 

As the real story of her inheritance unravels, Fleur finds herself in the company 

of a damaged returned soldier Kip, holding a thread that takes her deep into the 

past, a thread that could unravel a mystery surrounding an opal and a woman in 

a green dress; a green that is the colour of envy, the colour buried deep within an 

opal, the colour of poison…

REAL ESTATE 

Luxury waterfront residence - one of NZ’s finest homes 

145 Main Road, Redcliffs 

Price: $3,795,000 

4 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | 4 toilets | 3 living rooms | 1 dining room | 1 office/study | 3 car-garage | Listing Number: PI54988 

Rarely are we favoured with the 

opportunity to bring to the market a home 

of this quality and size within a prestigious 

neighbourhood, where luxury residences 

are few and far between. With all the 

earthquake repairs thoroughly completed 

the house is now insured with NZI ready 

for the next owners to enjoy its splendour. 

Epitomizing a cutting edge design, 

this striking home is a commitment to 

contemporary architectural language and 

unparalleled luxury. Designed by Stufkens 

+ Chambers Architects the home has 

perfectly encapsulated an ambience of 

timeless elegance, while forsaking nothing 

in practicality and functionality. 

With a rich floor area of 501sqm, the 

home built in 2010 is notable for the way 

in which it explores the three separate 

buildings joined by transparent links 

wrapped around an open courtyard 

to create a timeless, modern building, 

appropriate to its urban location. 

With precise planning and detailing it 

incorporates four bedrooms, several living 

areas, soundproof media room, mezzanine, 

study, gym, pool/spa, and an air conditioned 

wine cellar as well as triple car garaging. 

All with water views and effortless indooroutdoor 

flow, lighting and well thought out 

landscaping, it is the perfect result. 

The natural palette of materials and 

colours used throughout the home delivers 

on a promise of calm and clarity with oak 

timber veneer, timber flooring, exposed 

aggregate concrete walls, frosted glass 

and simple white interior. Inspections 

will reveal the full extent of the luxurious 

detailing. Automated roller blinds, localized 

air-conditioning, double-glazing, extensive 

underfloor heating, smart security and 

home automation system start a very long 

list of quality specifications. 

Located just a few minutes to either the 

city or the beach, with local amenities 

meaning you will never need to leave this 

pinnacle position 

The extravagance of this home requires 

new occupants and prudent purchasers 

will recognise that this is indeed a rare 

opportunity for a life that excites the senses. 

Adequate superlatives elude us, so we must 

make do with just two words - SEE IT!
