Latham hits back at council bosses<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
COMMUNITY board member<br />
Darrell Latham has hit back<br />
at city council bosses over the<br />
ongoing code of conduct issues.<br />
Yesterday, Mayor Lianne<br />
Dalziel and city council chief<br />
executive Karleen Edwards said<br />
they were “disappointed” in the<br />
response of Linwood-Central-<br />
Heathcote Community Board<br />
member Dr Latham, Coastal-<br />
Burwood Community Board<br />
chairwoman and deputy chairman<br />
Kim Money and Tim Sintes,<br />
who formally withdrew from<br />
the code of conduct process in<br />
November.<br />
Ms Dalziel and Dr Edwards<br />
said they are now considering the<br />
next steps they need to take.<br />
“There has been ample<br />
opportunity for this to be<br />
resolved,” Dr Latham said.<br />
“We advised them in November<br />
that we are withdrawing and<br />
they’re considering their next<br />
steps now.”<br />
The board members and city<br />
councillor David East, have<br />
been facing code of conduct<br />
complaints since September over<br />
an allegation city council staff had<br />
tampered with the District Plan.<br />
The omitted clause gives leeway<br />
to people in specific coastal areas,<br />
deemed at risk of flooding, to<br />
build and extend homes.<br />

IT LOOKS like the lawyers will continue<br />
to gain from the ongoing code of conduct<br />
matter involving Darrell Latham, and<br />
other community board members from<br />
across the estuary.<br />
On page 1 we report city council chief<br />
executive Karleen Edwards and Mayor Lianne Dalziel are<br />
weighing up their response to the latest development in the saga.<br />
That will certainly involve more legal advice, which will come<br />
at a cost. It stands to reason the city council took legal advice<br />
over the matter initially, which Latham and co’s lawyer says was<br />
wrong.<br />
But there will be even more to come out of this. It appears<br />
the legal opinion given on the matter means community<br />
board members may in fact not be subject to code of conduct<br />
complaints. Interesting.<br />

WORK ON reinstating the<br />
critical road link between<br />
Sumner and Lyttelton is on<br />
track to be finished at the end of<br />
next month.<br />
The road has been closed to<br />
the public since tonnes of rock<br />
came tumbling down onto it<br />
from the surrounding cliffs<br />
during the <strong>February</strong> 22, 2011,<br />
earthquake.<br />
Said city council<br />
spokeswoman Lynette Ellis:<br />
“The final push is on to get the<br />
road surface laid, the safety<br />
barriers installed, and the line<br />
markings done. While our<br />
contractors are doing this work,<br />
there will be trucks moving<br />
through both Lyttelton and the<br />
Redcliffs-Sumner areas.<br />
“At the Lyttelton end of the<br />
road, stonemasons are working<br />
to finish the retaining walls. The<br />

Ms Ellis said getting this<br />
critical transport route between<br />
the city and the Port of Lyttelton<br />
reopened would be a major<br />
milestone.<br />
“It will make moving overdimension<br />
freight to and from<br />
the port much easier and it<br />

Getting Sumner Rd<br />
reopened has involved:<br />

•Building a 407m long<br />

falling rocks from the Crater<br />
Rim Bluffs. The back of the<br />
bench is 18m metres high,<br />
and the 15m wide floor<br />
of cushioning material is<br />

assistance, care support and wi-fi<br />
so they can speak to their family<br />
back home. The centre has had<br />
about 10,000 visits from seafarers<br />
docking in Lyttelton since it<br />
opened three years ago. Lyttelton<br />
Seafarers’ Centre Charitable<br />
Trust chairman Reverend John<br />
McLister said the money will<br />
help ensure it could continue to<br />
provide seafarers with assistance.<br />

Latham ‘disappointed’ it took legal advice to understand rights<br />
•From page 1<br />
As a result of their outspoken<br />
comments, Greater Christchurch<br />
Regeneration Minister Megan<br />
Woods approved the city<br />
council’s proposal to amend<br />
the District Plan under section<br />
71 of the Greater<br />
Christchurch<br />
Regeneration Act.<br />
Legal advice from<br />
former Ombudsman<br />
Leo Donnelly who<br />
works for high-profile<br />
law firm Chen Palmer<br />
found community<br />
board members are not<br />
bound by the council’s<br />
code of conduct under<br />
the Local Government<br />
Act 2002, which led<br />
to the group<br />
withdrawing.<br />
Dr Latham said he<br />
was “disappointed”<br />
it took getting legal<br />
advice for the group<br />
to understand their<br />
rights.<br />
“All community<br />
board members within<br />
the Christchurch City<br />
Council should be fully<br />
aware of their rights<br />
. . . there hasn’t been<br />
that disclosure.”<br />
The legal advice would set a<br />
Karleen Edwards<br />
precedent for other community<br />
board members around the city<br />
and the rest of the country, he<br />
said.<br />
Ms Dalziel and Dr Edwards<br />
would not comment on Cr East’s<br />
code of conduct complaint as the<br />
process is ongoing.<br />
The code of conduct<br />
sets out the standards<br />
of behaviour expected<br />
from elected members<br />
of the city council.<br />
Penalties from code<br />
of conduct complaints<br />
range from a request<br />
for an apology to<br />
resignation.<br />
“We stood up and<br />
did the right thing<br />
by our community.<br />
A code of conduct<br />
agreement is about<br />
doing the right thing<br />
and we did the right<br />
thing,” Dr Latham<br />
said.<br />
The legal advice was<br />
sought by the New<br />
Brighton Pier and<br />
Foreshore Promotion<br />
Society, which was the<br />
group that fundraised<br />
money for the New<br />
Brighton Pier and<br />
continues to lobby for the area.<br />
Society chairman Stewart<br />
Lianne Dalziel<br />
POWER: A new 2.2km electricity cable will be installed<br />
through Lyttelton Tunnel.<br />
RISK: Community board member Darrell Latham said the city council has had plenty of time to<br />
resolve ongoing code of conduct complaints over District Plan flooding issues.<br />
McNeice said the group engaged<br />
Chen Palmer because it didn’t<br />
think the city council should<br />
$3m power cable to be put<br />
through tunnel next month<br />
LYTTELTON, Corsair <strong>Bay</strong> and<br />
Cass <strong>Bay</strong> are set for a<br />
multi-million dollar electricity<br />
upgrade.<br />
A 2.2km electricity cable will<br />
be installed through the Lyttelton<br />
Tunnel at a cost of about $3<br />
million. The installation will start<br />
next month.<br />
The tunnel will remain<br />
open and power will stay on<br />
throughout the upgrade.<br />
The new 11kV electricity cable<br />
will run in tandem with the two<br />
existing 11kV cables which run<br />
have lodged code of conduct<br />
complaints.<br />
“Dave [East] and all the others<br />
over the Port Hills. Orion general<br />
manager of infrastructure Steve<br />
Macdonald said the upgrade<br />
will provide a more resilient<br />
and reliable service to Lyttelton,<br />
Corsair <strong>Bay</strong> and Cass <strong>Bay</strong>.<br />
“The lines over the hill are<br />
vulnerable to weather, vegetation<br />
and pests. With the new cable,<br />
we have alternatives to keep the<br />
power on,” he said.<br />
“The Port is an essential lifeline<br />
for Canterbury and increasing<br />
the resilience of the power<br />
supporting it is important for the<br />
had been vilified for standing up<br />
and we didn’t think it was right,”<br />
he said.<br />
wider region.”<br />
Following some preparatory<br />
trenching to provide a channel<br />
from the tunnel to the Orion<br />
substation in Dublin St, the work<br />
will take two weeks to complete<br />
next month.<br />
The work will be done at night.<br />
The cable will be pulled through<br />
the exhaust ventilation duct<br />
above the carriageway.<br />
“It’s the longest 11kV cable pull<br />
in Orion’s history, and gravity<br />
will help us as we’ll be pulling it<br />
downhill from Heathcote.”<br />

NOT SAFE: Redcliffs residents want a pedestrian crossing outside Barnett Park<br />
on Main Rd.<br />
Bid to get pedestrian<br />
crossing near<br />
Barnett Park entrance<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
REDCLIFFS residents<br />
are calling for a pedestrian<br />
crossing near the entrance<br />
to Barnett Park on Main<br />
Rd.<br />
The Redcliffs Residents’<br />
Association has asked<br />
the Linwood-Central-<br />
Heathcote Community<br />
Board to support its request<br />
to city council for the<br />
crossing.<br />
There is currently no<br />
provision for a crossing at<br />
the entrance of the park in<br />
the Main Rd Master Plan.<br />
Association secretary<br />
Pat McIntosh said the<br />
crossing would be essential<br />
to ensuring the safety of<br />
pedestrians.<br />

not suitable for the tunnel.”<br />
There is only one other<br />
pedestrian crossing in the<br />
area, which<br />
is 240m away<br />
from the<br />
entrance of the<br />
park.<br />
“Barnett<br />
Park is a wellused<br />
local<br />
facility with<br />
a pre-school,<br />
playground,<br />
sports fields,<br />
public toilet, dog walking<br />

walking tracks. Many<br />
users are likely to want<br />
to cross the road to use<br />

the facilities.” Linwood-<br />
Central-Heathcote<br />
Community Board<br />
member Darrell Latham<br />
said he fully supports the<br />
pedestrian crossing.<br />
“This is an issue that has<br />
been raised previously<br />
by multiple residents<br />
and is certainly an issue<br />
of concern.”<br />
Dr Latham said<br />
crossing the road to<br />
get into Barnett Park<br />
without a crossing<br />
posed a serious risk to<br />
pedestrians.<br />
“Fifty per cent of<br />
people who use a bus<br />
are going to be needing<br />
to cross the road. That<br />
area is an extremely busy<br />
stretch of road at the best of<br />
times.”<br />

Our People<br />
Steve Lowndes<br />
Travelling the world paved way<br />
Environment Canterbury<br />
chairman Steve<br />
Lowndes, who lives<br />
in Birdlings Flat, is<br />
not planning to run in<br />
October’s local body<br />
elections. Sophie<br />
Cornish speaks to him<br />
about life after local<br />
politics, Brexit, and<br />
family<br />
The ECan elections are<br />
coming up this year and I<br />
understand you may not be<br />
running again, is that correct?<br />
Yes, that’s my position at the<br />
moment. It is never finally settled<br />
until the time for nominations<br />
to close, but at the moment, that<br />
is what I am thinking. I will be<br />
73 at the time of the election, I<br />
would be 77 by the end of the<br />
next term. I feel fit and well<br />
enough but on the other hand<br />
I really think a person younger<br />
than me needs to take the lead.<br />
There is nothing wrong with<br />
being old, you have a degree of<br />
wisdom and all those sorts of<br />
things that are invaluable in local<br />
government. But, the world is<br />
changing very quickly and there<br />
are a lot of very tough decisions<br />
that need to be made. I am very<br />
much aware that young people<br />
are getting very concerned about<br />
their future. It is they who need<br />
to step up and get engaged in<br />
local government. When I say<br />
young, we have a councillor<br />
Lan Pham. She’s terrific. She<br />
brings an attitude and energy<br />
which is inspiring to the<br />
council. There are other younger<br />
councillors too. I think it would<br />
be better to step aside and let<br />
somebody younger take over.<br />
What will you do instead with<br />
your time?<br />
I have never been frightened of<br />
time. I have done all<br />
sorts of things in my life and<br />
being frightened of time isn’t<br />
one of them. I can paint, I can<br />
write, I can do all sorts of things.<br />
Nothing is ever really over, the<br />
fact that I stepped down from<br />
ECan doesn’t necessarily<br />
mean I will completely leave the<br />
public forum. I have no plans at<br />
all. It is a wonderful space to be<br />
in, where you don’t have to worry<br />

Lowndes at<br />

Flat home.<br />
about your future.<br />
Tell me about the beginning<br />
of your career – how did it all<br />
begin?<br />
I was born and educated in<br />
England and I went to art school<br />
in the 1960s. My first job was as<br />
an art teacher. After a little while<br />
of that I thought: ‘Oh my god<br />
am I going to be doing this for<br />
the next 45 years?’ That sort of<br />
freaked me out a little bit. So I got<br />
a cargo boat to South America. I<br />
ended up living there for a year<br />
and a half year, mostly in Rio de<br />
Janeiro, Brazil. I really enjoyed the<br />
experience. From there I travelled<br />
over land through South America<br />
and Central America and the<br />
Caribbean and the United States<br />
and eventually arrived back in<br />
England. And I thought: ‘Oh<br />
well that was good.’ My ambition<br />
then was to carry on. So I began<br />
working in England again, as<br />
a publican, which meant that I<br />
could save money. I did that with<br />
my partner Lisa Potts and then we<br />
set off on a huge journey which<br />
basically took us around the<br />
world.<br />
Where did you travel to?<br />
We went through Russia,<br />
Afghanistan, Iran, around India<br />
and ended up in Australia. On<br />
our trip, we only took one tiny<br />
aeroplane flight; the rest was by<br />
truck and train. Australia was<br />
very kind to us; we both became<br />
Australian and lived there for a<br />
while. Then we got a boat across<br />
the Pacific and it called in at<br />
Auckland. That was my first<br />
experience of New Zealand, in<br />
1974. Then our boat carried on<br />
and went through the Panama<br />
Canal and back to Europe. I<br />
then lived in England again and<br />
thought we would go travelling<br />
once more. So we got a plane to<br />
New York and brought a car then<br />
started driving around the US.<br />

for chairman’s role at ECan<br />
We had all sorts of adventures<br />
in the US and Canada. We ended<br />
up in San Francisco. At that point<br />
Lisa became pregnant and a<br />
friend Robyn we were travelling<br />
with said: ‘Why don’t you go to<br />
New Zealand, it’s a great place<br />
to have kids’. So we did that. In<br />
retrospect it is hard to imagine<br />
that we didn’t head home, but no,<br />
we came to New Zealand. We arrived<br />
and brought a van in 1979<br />
and started driving around. We<br />
ended up in Akaroa and Lisa saw<br />
the hospital there and said: “This<br />
is where I will have the baby.”<br />
Julian is now nearly 40-years-old.<br />
He has a sister Alicia and they<br />
both live in Australia, one in Sydney<br />
and one in Melbourne. Lisa<br />
and I split up in about 1998 and<br />
my partner now is Susan<br />
Morrow. We live at Birdlings Flat<br />
and have been here for 20 years.<br />
Tell me about your life living<br />
in Akaroa?<br />
The peninsula for me was representative<br />
of a community, I had<br />
spent 13 years travelling around<br />
the world, community was something<br />
I didn’t have, I didn’t belong<br />
somewhere. Akaroa had a population<br />
of about 700 people, a little<br />
more than it does currently. It was<br />
a self-sustaining little community<br />
based on farming and fishing,<br />
quite different to what it is today.<br />
It was really a holiday destination<br />
for Cantabrians, before it was<br />
discovered by international tourists,<br />
that began to happen in the<br />
mid-1980s. Now, it is somewhat<br />
overrun by cruise ships. It’s not<br />
quite the same place it was in the<br />
1970s, which is what attracted me<br />
to it, a part from the fact it was<br />
devastatingly beautiful. When you<br />
went to live there, people were delighted<br />
to know you had chosen to<br />
live in that community, so you felt<br />
FAMILY AND FRIENDS: Steve Lowndes<br />
with his long-time partner Susan Morrow<br />
(left) and his friend Robyn Studholme<br />
(above) at Mt St Helens near Oregon in<br />
1978.<br />
part of it straight away. I started<br />
off as a builder’s labourer, building<br />
an extension to the school. I<br />
gradually started to do work at the<br />
Akaroa Museum and eventually<br />
the curator retired and I was hired<br />
to curate the collection. I was<br />
there for about 15 years. I ended<br />
up being chairman of the Museums<br />
Association of New Zealand.<br />
What happened next?<br />
Then I became a Banks Peninsula<br />
district councillor, with a<br />
gentleman named Bob Parker and<br />
we disbanded ourselves. The district<br />
council wasn’t bankrupt, but<br />
it was heading that way. There was<br />
only about 7000 ratepayers which<br />
wasn’t enough when we had to pay<br />
for all things tourism. We tried to<br />
amalgamate with city council, but<br />
the people of Christchurch said<br />
no. They didn’t want to take on<br />
Banks Peninsula. So we decided<br />
to vote to abolish ourselves and<br />
the city council had no option<br />
but to take over, this was in about<br />
2005-20<strong>06</strong>. I stood for the city<br />
council in 20<strong>06</strong>, and was defeated<br />
by Claudia Reid. Then I started<br />
painting, which is where I began,<br />
by going to art school in the first<br />
place. In 2016, someone said to be<br />
why don’t you stand for ECan in<br />
the election. You may recall that<br />
in 2010, the Government took<br />
away the commission of the elected<br />
members of ECan and replaced<br />
them with seven commissioners.<br />
That continued for two terms of<br />
local government until 2016. Then<br />
ECan was opened up to partial<br />
democratic elections. The chairwoman<br />
Margaret Bazley finished,<br />
so that left six ex-commissioners.<br />
There were seven elected members<br />
and six were remains of the old<br />
appointed councillors and that<br />
situation still remains. When the<br />
council convened for the first<br />
time, they voted for David Bedford<br />
into the chair, he was<br />
one of the councillors. Unfortunately,<br />
David wasn’t very well and<br />
he died in <strong>February</strong> of last year.<br />
For some time he had been unable<br />
to fulfil his role. I had been elected<br />
deputy chair and I became the<br />
acting chair until he resigned and<br />
then I was elected into the chair<br />
role.<br />

Our People<br />
ECan chair not frightened by time<br />
•From page 7<br />
So the role for me has been one<br />
of managing the council back<br />
to full democracy, which will<br />
take place in October. A thing I<br />
have been keen to do is see that<br />
climate change becomes front<br />
and central of ECan’s thinking.<br />
That has come about with the<br />
newly-elected people who arrived<br />
on council in 2016, they have<br />
made a huge difference.<br />
What did you learn from your<br />
travelling experiences?<br />
I feel sometimes that all the<br />
roads I have travelled have led<br />
to this point. So I have a huge<br />
amount of experience of the<br />
world at large and of different<br />
kinds of people and how to deal<br />
with them. I find all the skills I<br />
learnt while travelling fit me very<br />
well for the role of managing<br />
a great number of people who<br />
have very different and distinct<br />
interests. It is really about people.<br />
A Maori proverb that helps to<br />
describe me politically is – He<br />
aha te mea nui o te ao He tangata,<br />
he tangata, he tangata. What is<br />
the most important thing in the<br />
world? It is the people, it is the<br />
people, it is the people. People are<br />
the same everywhere all around<br />
the world, it doesn’t matter if<br />
you meet an Indian on the banks<br />
of the Amazon River or an<br />
TALENT: Steve Lowndes has a love of art, especially painting.<br />
American senator, we all laugh,<br />
we all cry, we all smile. It’s the<br />
universality of people. We are all<br />
the same species.<br />
How does living in England<br />
compare to living in New<br />
Zealand?<br />
I have been here for 40 years,<br />
my immediate family in England<br />
has died, I have a few cousins<br />
left, I write to them. England<br />
is about the same size, but the<br />
population of New Zealand is<br />
what the population of England<br />
was at the time of Henry VIII.<br />
Now you have to imagine the<br />
same land mass, with nearly 60<br />
million people. It is nothing like<br />
New Zealand. Last week, Sue and<br />
I went to Jackson’s <strong>Bay</strong>, down<br />
south. We stayed in a bach which<br />
had no power, no connectivity.<br />
When you walked to the beach,<br />
there are no other houses, and<br />
there is an absolutely stunning<br />
empty landscape of mountains,<br />
oceans, beaches. You would<br />
have to go a long way in Britain<br />
to find that, maybe in the north<br />
of Scotland. It’s a completely<br />
different experience living<br />
here. It is one where we relate<br />
very much to the land. At the<br />
moment with Brexit, the English<br />
have got themselves into a cleft<br />
stick. They have this incredibly<br />
binary situation to deal with,<br />
half of them think they should<br />
stay in the common market and<br />
fight and the other half thinks<br />
they should flee. Human beings<br />
always have that decision, when<br />
confronted with a situation, fight<br />
or flight. It’s such a basic division<br />
in our minds, I think that is<br />
basically what is happening<br />
with Brexit. So, I don’t envy the<br />
English at all. I can’t even begin<br />
to contemplate how I feel about<br />
England anymore, because it<br />
seems to belong to another era.<br />
In the future when climate<br />
change really begins to kick in,<br />
New Zealand is wonderfully<br />
placed to survive the worst<br />
effects. We are surrounded by<br />
ocean which takes away the<br />
worst effects of heat, we can feed<br />
ourselves, Australia can’t, Europe<br />
can’t, 90 per cent of the world’s<br />
population lives in the Northern<br />
Hemisphere.<br />
Tell me about your<br />
family?<br />
Julian, my son, works for<br />
Skope, a Christchurch company<br />
that makes refrigerators. He<br />
manages their operations in<br />
Australia. He has a son, who is<br />
6-months-old. Alicia works for<br />
an advertising agency called The<br />
Monkeys, living in Melbourne<br />
but she is going to come back<br />
to New Zealand. She managed<br />
to buy a third of a house in<br />
Auckland in Pt Chevalier she’s<br />
going to come back next month.<br />
I am looking forward to her<br />
coming back. My partner Sue’s<br />
daughter Evie also lives in Pt<br />
Chevalier, so those two are very<br />
close.<br />

a part of the Christchurch<br />
music scene for 40 years.<br />
To celebrate Park’s contribution<br />
to music in the<br />
region, Lyttelton musician<br />
Delaney Davidson has<br />
produced a new album,<br />
Better Already – The Songs<br />
of Al Park.<br />
The album features<br />

said.<br />
Park’s career soared in<br />
the 80s as the frontman of<br />
Louie and the Hotsticks.<br />
He set up Al’s Bar in<br />
20<strong>06</strong> on Dundas St until<br />
the building was damaged<br />
in the <strong>February</strong> 22, 2011,<br />
earthquake, as well as<br />
founding the city’s first<br />
punk venue, Mollet St.<br />
But more recently<br />
Park has been nurturing<br />
young talent including<br />
Adam Hattaway, who he<br />
plays with regularly in Lyttelton.<br />

Players lured away from <strong>Bay</strong>s’ squad<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
FERRYMEAD BAYS have<br />
been hit by a poaching raid<br />
from second-tier Christchurch<br />
United, which is offering match<br />
payments and bonuses.<br />
Several <strong>Bay</strong>s’ players have<br />
snubbed the Mainland Premier<br />
League for the Canterbury<br />
Championship<br />
League. <strong>Bay</strong>s<br />
coach and former<br />
All White,<br />
Danny Halligan,<br />
is also a defector<br />
to Christchurch<br />
United.<br />
Danny<br />
Halligan<br />
Halligan<br />
would not<br />
discuss match<br />
payments and bonuses with <strong>Bay</strong><br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> News last week.<br />
“It’s not about money,” he said.<br />
“Players have a right to decide<br />
where they want to play. I left<br />
<strong>Bay</strong>s on good terms and I’m<br />
not aware of any animosity<br />
anywhere.<br />
“The carrot for the players is<br />
the excitement of a new challenge.<br />
They can see if Christchurch<br />
United can get promoted<br />
into the MPL then they’ve got<br />
the facilities and organisation to<br />
be a really strong club again,”<br />
said Halligan.<br />
One of the new Christchurch<br />
United recruits told <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
News players would receive match<br />
payments between $120-$160 this<br />
season, which includes a win bonus<br />
and a further $500 if the club<br />
SUCCESS: The 2017 <strong>Bay</strong>s team which won the MPL title.<br />
won promotion from the CCL to clude MPL record goal-scorer Michael<br />
White, 2018 <strong>Bay</strong>s player of<br />
the MPL. He was not being paid<br />
to play at Ferrymead <strong>Bay</strong>s. the year Mark Peers, and former<br />
Christchurch United is backed MPL golden boot and player of<br />
by Russian businessman Slava the year-winner Shawn O’Brien.<br />
Meyn, who has developed a leading<br />
sports facility in Yaldhurst. who has played more than 300<br />
<strong>Bay</strong>s defender Chris Murphy,<br />
The poaching has caused a stir games for the club and has previously<br />
turned down multiple offers<br />
among Mainland clubs. Some<br />
told <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News there was to join other clubs, says <strong>Bay</strong>s will<br />
even talk of boycotting games recover from the player losses.<br />
involving Christchurch United “We’ve got a few loyal guys,<br />
teams at a youth level.<br />
which is good to see, but the offers<br />
are flying thick and fast even<br />
None would be identified but<br />
there was a lot of frustration over for myself,” said Murphy.<br />
the way Christchurch United “They’re dropping down a<br />
was recruiting.<br />
level. If that’s what they want<br />
The <strong>Bay</strong>s players recruited in-<br />
to do then it maybe shows their<br />
aspirations . . . Christchurch<br />
United are giving it a good shot<br />
and have enticed people, which<br />
is good for them, but we’re the<br />
ones who are affected by it.”<br />
Cashmere Technical coach<br />
Dean Hutchinson said he understood<br />
Christchurch United had<br />
aspirations in wanting to return<br />
to the MPL.<br />
“On one hand that’s a good<br />
thing, but it’s an amateur league<br />
so if it is true that they’re directly<br />
paying players, then Mainland<br />
[Football] have to do something<br />
about it,” said Hutchinson.<br />
Mainland Football chief<br />
executive Julian Bowden says<br />
SPORTS<br />
it’s not unusual for players and<br />
managers to move around clubs,<br />
which can create rumours.<br />
But as an amateur league there<br />
are rules around player payments.<br />
Of a Christchurch United<br />
recruit telling <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News<br />
players would receive a $500<br />
promotion bonus, Bowden said:<br />
“That’s something we would<br />
probably want to talk to the club<br />
about.<br />
“Players can be reimbursed<br />
for expenses. If any players at<br />
any clubs were getting income<br />
it would be to reimburse things<br />
like gear, travel expenses or<br />
physio appointments,” said<br />
Bowden.<br />
“Under FIFA criteria, players<br />
can be reimbursed up to a<br />
certain level. There’s some principles<br />
around that in the national<br />
league and those principals flow<br />
down into our regional league.”<br />
Former Canterbury United<br />
and MPL stalwart Stu Kelly<br />
– whose Halswell United side<br />
have seen their CCL promotion<br />
chances drop with Christchurch<br />
United’s new additions – said<br />
players being paid is nothing new.<br />
“In the rules you can’t [pay<br />
players] but nobody’s tracking it.<br />
In the North Island it’s been even<br />
worse over the years, “ he said.<br />

Sumner make strong<br />
start to two-day<br />
cricket competition<br />
Sumner club<br />
captain<br />
Dan Vann<br />
reports on<br />
how their<br />
first XI<br />
cricket side<br />
performed<br />
during the first day of<br />
their two-day clash<br />
against Lancaster Park<br />
SUMNER hosted Lancaster Park<br />
on Saturday as they returned to<br />
two-day cricket.<br />
After two very narrow losses<br />
to Lancaster Park in the one-day<br />
and T20 competitions, they knew<br />
this would be a tough encounter.<br />
Sumner won the toss and<br />
bowled first and, in spite of<br />
Lancaster Park getting off to<br />
a very fast start, three early<br />
wickets, all taken by opening<br />
bowler Nawid Mohammady<br />
(3-29) meant Sumner were able<br />
to apply some pressure to the<br />
Lancaster Park batsmen.<br />
Lancaster Park managed to<br />
rebuild somewhat before the<br />
introduction of Jonny Percasky<br />
(5-42 off 16 overs) and Dan Vann<br />
(2-50 off 14 overs), who managed<br />
to tie down Lancaster Park down<br />
and take the remaining seven<br />
wickets to have them all out for<br />
175. In reply, Sumner made an<br />
excellent start, losing their first<br />
wicket at 40 and their second at<br />
70. At this stage, Sumner were<br />
looking in control. But a small<br />
stumble saw three quick wickets<br />
fall and, at 79/4, things were back<br />
in the balance.<br />
Brett Taylor (68) and I<br />
combined to put on 30 runs to<br />
steady the ship again. When my<br />
wicket fell for 27 with the score<br />
at 130, Taylor decided to put the<br />
foot down and counter-attacked<br />
with some outstanding striking.<br />
Sumner ended the day on 209 (34<br />
runs ahead).<br />
We were very pleased with how<br />
we played today. At times we<br />
were put under pressure but we<br />
responded well to it.<br />
Lancaster Park are a very<br />
strong team and we get on well<br />
with them off the field so it was<br />
nice to have a good start. But we<br />
will need to play well again next<br />
week to take the outright win.<br />

GAME TIME: Dan Vann gives the Club Captains XI a team talk<br />
ahead of their clash with the Presidents XI.<br />
Des Lyon day raises $5000<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
SUMNER CRICKET Club<br />
raised about $5000 during its<br />
Des Lyon day.<br />
Club captain Dan Vann said<br />
they would have a more accurate<br />
total once money from raffles<br />
had come in.<br />
The Presidents XI fell to the<br />
Club Captains XI in the premier<br />
match of the day, which included<br />
current Canterbury Magicians<br />
Nat Cox and Erin Bermingham.<br />
The junior match kicked off<br />
the day before Sumner Rugby<br />
Club battled it out with an Invitational<br />
XI.<br />
The day was in<br />
commemoration of life<br />
member Des Lyons, a man<br />
who contributed a considerable<br />
amount of his time to sports<br />
clubs across Sumner.<br />
ALL SMILES: Aaron<br />
Stanley-Joblin of the<br />
Invitational XI raises the Shag<br />
Rock trophy after beating the<br />
Sumner Rugby Club XI.<br />
“He was always involved in<br />
a lot of different sports clubs<br />
across Sumner, he was the guy<br />
who would do the grounds,<br />
would help with coaching, so<br />
it made sense to have a day in<br />
his memory when he passed<br />
away.”<br />
Mr Vann said the money<br />
raised would go towards ground<br />
costs, junior equipment and<br />
general running costs.

RISK: The Port Hills fire of 2017. National list MP Nuk Korako<br />
urges people to be alert during the high risk summer period.<br />
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
Be careful with fire<br />
Port Hills<br />
National<br />
list MP Nuk<br />
Korako<br />
reminds<br />
people to be<br />
wary of fire<br />
risk during<br />
high temperatures and<br />
discusses the true meaning<br />
of Waitangi Day<br />
THE NEW year and summer’s<br />
heat is baking us all – it really is<br />
something else.<br />
I hope you’ve managed to make<br />
the most of the summer break<br />
however long or short it may have<br />
been for you.<br />
The beaches around Sumner<br />
and Taylors Mistake have been<br />
busy with families enjoying the<br />
sea and surf as well as the kids<br />
enjoying Scarborough paddling<br />
pool.<br />
I remember our boys loving the<br />
paddling pool and playground<br />
when they were little and when<br />
they were older they moved<br />
towards rugby on the beach and<br />
surfing.<br />
With the heat our Port Hills are<br />
extremely dry and we should all<br />
be vigilant around fire safety as<br />
well as be alert for anything that<br />
can happen at any time.<br />
You’ll remember the devastating<br />
Port Hills fires so I really<br />
encourage you to have plans in<br />
place for you and your family for<br />
NEW<br />

School holidays are over and<br />
the roads are once again busy. I<br />
want to wish all the best to those<br />
students and teachers who have<br />
returned to school, and especially<br />
the youngest new entrants just<br />
starting out on their formal<br />
education. May you all have a<br />
fantastic year in the classroom.<br />
Today is Waitangi Day – a day<br />
for discussion, a day for remembering,<br />
and a day for moving<br />
forward.<br />
Waitangi Day is a day to celebrate<br />
where we have come from<br />
as a country. It’s a chance to renew<br />
the shared values that make<br />
us, not only a unique country,<br />
but the best country to live in the<br />
world.<br />
While the main celebrations<br />
are at Waitangi itself, the Treaty<br />
has signatories from all over New<br />
Zealand including Akaroa. The<br />
Treaty isn’t about a place, it’s<br />
about people – it’s not a location,<br />
it’s an agreement.<br />
Waitangi Day is a day of<br />
whanau and community, a coming<br />
together of Māori and Pākehā<br />
to celebrate an event that defines<br />
us as a nation.<br />
So enjoy your day off work and<br />
enjoy in the spirit of Waitangi.<br />
I will be at Waitangi this year<br />
supporting our leader and the<br />
National Party.<br />

out before she starts fake crying.<br />
Increasing the volume until you<br />
give in.<br />
Laura is her normal target,<br />
she’s a soft touch, but me and<br />
guests are also fair game when<br />
needs be.<br />
Now don’t think we aren’t<br />
feeding her. Her little escapades<br />
always happen after her own<br />
meal and she’s expanding her<br />
outlook to include all three of<br />
the main meals of the day, as<br />
well as snack times.<br />
I haven’t eaten a full slice of<br />
toast in a week.<br />
On Tuesday I took Vittoria to<br />
Willowbank with some friends.<br />
Because of the timing, I took<br />
along a packed lunch for both<br />
me and her. Hers was flash;<br />
Bolognese, fresh avocado and<br />
rock melon for dessert.<br />
My lunch of two sandwiches<br />
literally came in a bread bag.<br />
#bubseatsbetter.<br />
I knew when she was getting<br />
hungry, because she started<br />
running her “oook” scam on<br />
her friend’s mum to get some<br />
of their banana, while we were<br />
walking.<br />
When we sat down to eat, she<br />
gobbled up her meal, some her<br />
friends rusk, some of my cheese,<br />
a bit of my sandwich and then<br />
demanded (and received) some<br />
of my rock melon.<br />
I can’t refuse her, of course<br />
and it’s all healthy, so no big<br />
trouble there.<br />
There’s no point in<br />
complaining about her<br />
rapacious appetite anyway, she<br />
inherited it from her parents.<br />
Besides, she’s a growing<br />
young lady and all that. Plus a<br />
full day of animal excitement<br />
meant she fell asleep before I<br />
had my dinner.<br />
