Redcliffs School pupils catch up with Boult
Trent Boult may have been at the centre of controversy on Saturday during the Black Caps second one-day match
against Bangladesh – but he was a hero for many Redcliffs School pupils. Boult, who took 1-49 in New Zealand’s
eight-wicket win, spent time after training on Friday at Hagley Oval with some of the pupils. The next day he was
fined 15 per cent of his match fee for swearing during the match.

Residents
turn out
over
liquor
store bid
• By Louis Day
REDCLIFFS residents are
questioning how the proposed
liquor store on Main Rd will
achieve the fine wine and spirits
experience promised by the
owner.
More than 50 residents
attended a public meeting about
the liquor store application at St
Andrews Anglican Church on
Thursday.
Store owner Jugraj Singh
assured residents the off-licence
would sell fine wine and spirits
and offer a range of delicatessen
goods.
However, residents questioned
how Mr Singh would achieve
what he has promised with a store
that is only 62 sq m.
Mr Singh was unsure exactly
how much space he would have in
the store for the delicatessen but
said it was something he wanted
to try.
St Andrews reverend Thomas
Brauer said he supported what Mr
Singh was pitching but did not see
how it related to the application.

get in touch
from the editor’s desk
A GOOD read today on Joanna Norris, the
chief executive of ChristchurchNZ (pages
6-8).
Norris, who led The Press and other
Fairfax media assets in the South Island,
has one of the most important roles in
the city.
ChristchurchNZ is a pivotal organisation to the region’s
future. Tourism, economic development and events are its key
areas. Without those pillars, the city and wider region will
struggle to grow.
Getting those wheels spinning won’t be easy and it will take
time. Competition from other regions for events, tourism and
economic growth is fierce.
Having the right people around her to build relationships both
here in New Zealand and overseas, and thinking outside of the
square, will be imperative.
I’m sure she will do well.

Swell keeps lifeboat busy
• By Louis Day
IT HAS been a busy month for
the Sumner Lifeboat Institution
with a call out every few days.
Three people had to be rescued
over the last week due to a 2m
swell on Scarborough beach.
A female swimmer was taken
out to sea by the breakwater rip,
a surfer also lost a board and
was taken
away from the
shore, which
was followed
later that day
by another
swimmer who
had to be rescued
from the
Blair Quane
same rip.
The Sumner
Lifeboat was
also called out last Wednesday
to help a kiteboarder who was
struggling in the estuary
mouth.
Luckily the kiteboarder
managed to make it back to
South Shore before the Sumner
Lifeboat arrived on the scene.
The kiteboarder was assessed
by Sumner surf lifesavers before
being given the all clear.
Sumner Lifeboat coxswain
Blair Quane said it was important

KEEPING BUSY: The
Sumner Lifeboat has
averaged a call-out every
few days this month.
the swell is high.
“With a 2m swell coming
into the bay, water has got to go
somewhere so it flows straight
out of the rips, generally the
main rip that it works through is
the breakwater rip which is right
in the corner,” he said.

Design soon
for tram shelter
• By Louis Day
PROGRESS IS being made with
the Moncks Bay tram shelter.
A design for repair will be completed
for the tram shelter by mid
next month.
The city council has been working
on the design for repair for the
last three weeks.
The 85-year-old building on
Main Rd has been closed since
Christmas Eve after an assessment
of the shelter indicated the condition
of the roof had compromised
the structural integrity of the shelter,
leaving it vulnerable to quakes.
City council transport and operations
manager Steffan Thomas
said an exact date for when repairs
would start was currently unclear.
“Once the design has been accepted
a scope of works will be
outlined to give estimated timelines
and costs. Timelines will be
dependent on funding availability,”
he said.
Redcliffs Residents’ Association
secretary Pat McIntosh said
she was glad to see the project
progressing but was also
disappointed the shelter had been
left to deteriorate to this state.
“It looks as though it has been a
very long time since any roofing
maintenance was done on it to
the point it had to be closed,” she
said.
Locomotive arrives in Little River
• By Louis Day
SEVEN YEARS ago Andrew
Wilson had a dream of bringing
a locomotive to Little River,
last week that dream became a
reality.
On Thursday, the Little River
Railway Station Trust welcomed
a 62-year-old locomotive into the
station.
Director of operations and
trustee Andrew Wilson dreamt
up the idea of bringing a locomotive
to Little River in 2008
as part of the trust’s 2021 vision
plan.
It was also Mr Wilson who
came across the locomotive on
Trade Me and drove to Dunedin
to assess it.
“I have driven further for
trains, I have gone down to Bluff
over a weekend,” he said.
Mr Wilson said he has had a
passion for trains ever since his
grandmother took him for walks
through the train yard next to
their holiday home in Kaikoura.
“On my grandmother’s death
bed she said I must ask for forgiveness
for introducing you to
trains and I said why? You have
introduced me to a hobby that
will last me a lifetime and she
said not to you but to everyone
else for having to put up with
this hobby of yours.”
EXCITED: Little River Railway Station trustee Andrew Wilson with the locomotive.
PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER
Mr Wilson who still has
photos of himself as a child with
locomotives hoped children
today could create the same
memories with the station’s newest
addition.
“The idea is to create that
scene for people to make those
memories and that locomotive
is there to help people do that
so they can look back on those
memories for a lifetime.”
The $8500 locomotive is now
on the tracks connected to a
carriage ready for people to have
their photos taken next to it.
The locomotive was introduced
into service in June 1957
and decommissioned in April
1985.
It spent its entire working role
in the South Island.
Mr Wilson said once the trust
had restored the interior of the
locomotive they would consider
opening it up on special occasions
and maybe even let people
pull the whistle.
The trust does not have a
licence to run the locomotive
along the tracks, however, Mr
Wilson said they could possibly
jack it above the rails which
would allow the wheels to go
round without it actually going
anywhere.
Late night Lyttelton Tunnel closures
From Sunday 24 February, you’ll need to plan your
travel around late night tunnel closures.
These are essential to both install and test a new fire protection
system inside the tunnel.
Work on this $28.7 million project is expected to be completed
by April/May 2019.
Traffic lane closures are timed for late night/early morning
on the lightest tunnel traffic days of the week, that is Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday.
In conjunction with the late night tunnel closures, we are
carrying out maintenance on SH74 (Tunnel Road) to ensure
fewer nights of disruption for motorists and residents. Work
includes replacing some guardrails and road resurfacing work
between Port Hills and Horotane Valley overpasses as well.
Lyttelton-bound traffic into the tunnel for the 10-minute openings
will be unaffected. Traffic leaving the tunnel towards Christchurch
will have to exit onto SH76 Port Hills Road.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
• Real-time traffic information for the Lyttelton Tunnel area is
available at www.tfc.govt.nz
• A schedule of tunnel traffic lane closures can be found at
www.nzta.govt.nz/assets/projects/lyttelton-tunnel/
lyttelton-tunnel-lane-closures.pdf
TUNNEL CLOSED
from 11pm to 4am
Sunday 24 February
Monday 25 February
Tuesday 26 February
The tunnel will open to
traffic for 10 minutes on the
hour on these nights.
Emergency access will be
maintained through the
tunnel at all times.

CHANGE: An application has been made to turn 1/87 Main Rd, which is
currently occupied by the Bloom Room Florist, into a fine wine and spirits store.
Main Rd liquor store
won’t be a ‘booze barn’
•From page 1
Mr Singh’s original
application proposed
turning 1/87 Main Rd
into Thirsty Liquor
Redcliffs. However, Mr
Singh changed the name
to Redcliffs Fine Wine and
Spirits.
The landlord Peter
Croft was absent from
the meeting and was
represented by his wife,
Kate Bovett, who assured
residents they would not let
the store turn into a “booze
barn.”
“Permission to paint
the shop will not be given
and there will be no huge
advertising like you see
around the typical bottle
stores,” she said.
Community Action
on Youth and Drugs, a
Ministry of Health-funded
organisation to reduce the
harm to young people from
alcohol and other drugs,
wants the application
removed because it does
not represent what Mr
Singh is planning. Its
senior project worker Paul
McMahon said the original
application needed to be
removed and a new one
should be submitted.
Mr McMahon said he
would even contribute
to the costs involved
in submitting a new
application.
“The floor plan is
standard for a bottle store,
they [Mr Singh] talk about
cheeses and delicatessen
but there is just a tiny bit of
space,” he said.

application close

Our People
Joanna Norris
From a top role in the fourth estate
Just over a year ago,
Sumner’s Joanna Norris
moved from her role
as editor of The Press
to run events, tourism
and economic agency
ChristchurchNZ. She talks
to Julia Evans about her
20-year journalism career,
an early encounter with
David Bain and her love
of the outdoors
How have you found your first
year at ChristchurchNZ?
It’s been an incredible year. A
year where we’ve had to do a lot
of foundation-laying to make sure
the organisation comes together
in the way that it was intended.
It’s really cool to be working in
this role, at this time in the city’s
history, so I feel really fortunate
and privileged.
Have there been any
challenges?
I think there are a number of
challenges facing Christchurch
and it’s been understanding
which of those to address and
in which order. It’s really been
there’s so much we could do and
so much impact we could have,
the challenge really has been
prioritisation and making sure
that we don’t spread ourselves too
thinly. We are, relatively speaking,
quite a small agency and we
need to make sure where we do
intervene, we’re doing so with the
greatest impact.
What have some highlights
been?
I think the highlights are
seeing the city come alive and
in particular the CBD. In the
time that I’ve been in this role,
we’ve had a real activation of the
central city and we’ve got a real
glimpse of what we will become
as a city. But also playing a role in
shaping, firstly in the economic
insights that the city has about
itself and understanding what
our challenges are and what
the opportunities are. But also
helping Christchurch become
proud of itself and tell that story
about who we are and that we

have this incredible city and
helping people feel proud of that
is really cool.
What attributes does the city
have that will lure people to
either live here or visit?
We’ve done a lot of work to
understand what it is that is
special about Christchurch so we
can tell an authentic story about
the advantages here. One of the
very first and fundamental things
we have is the lifestyle that we
have and the proximity we have
to our incredible environment.
Whether it’s the Port Hills or
the beaches and I’m very lucky
to live at the beach in Sumner.
So my kids and I and husband
and I love walking on the beach,
we’ve just got this wonderful
life. So there’s the lifestyle piece,
there’s the fact that it’s affordable
in comparison to other parts of
the country. We’ve built this new,
beautiful resilient city and we
have a lot of the big grown-up city
amenities. We’ve got four tertiary
institutions, a skilled work force,
and underpinning all of this, is
this sense of Christchurch being
able to carve a path. The way we
term it is that we’re explorers,
we always have been, we always
will be, and Christchurch has
this wonderful opportunity
to continue that sense of
exploration. All of that packaged
into one great sized city that’s easy
to get around, why wouldn’t you
live here? We’ve been through an
enormous amount as a city, a lot of
pain, and as a journalist and editor
I witnessed and heard so many
stories of pain throughout the
post-quake period. Everywhere we
looked there was sadness. It was an
incredible trauma that the city has
gone through and some members
of our community are still going
through. But the flip side of that,
we’ve had this opportunity to
reinvent who we are, rebuild the
city, build stronger, safer buildings
and that’s been a real advantage for
us now.
How did you end up living in
the city yourself?
The interesting thing for me
about Christchurch is that I’m not
from Christchurch, I didn’t grow
up here. I grew up in Dunedin,
but I was born in Kaitaia. My
husband and I and kids moved
back here in 2012, we made a
kind of crazy decision to move
to what Christchurch was at that
time. Just before I took this role,
we had an opportunity to move
back to Wellington, which was
where we most recently moved
from but we chose Christchurch.
It’s the city that gets under your
skin and becomes part of who
you are. When you become
involved in the reconstruction of
the city and telling that story as
a journalist and now in my new
role, they are once in a lifetime
opportunities. Cities are always
organic, I think that’s the thing
that’s important for Christchurch
to remember. There is no end
point, there never is for a city.
Cities are by their nature, organic
and evolving.
Do you have any personal
goals for your time at
ChristchurchNZ?
People often ask me this
question, like what’s my five-year
plan, sort of thing. I have very
clear goals for this organisation,
we’ve got 10-year goals that we’re
committed to for the city. So
the answer is absolutely from a
professional point of view, but
from a personal point of view, no.
It’s really just about being as useful
to this community as I can be with
the skills and experience that I
have. Also enjoying life and taking
the time to spend with family.
How and when did your
journalism career begin?
I was studying music at Otago
University, I was doing a double
degree in English and music, I
play the violin. David Bain was
in a class of mine. We were a very
small class, there were only about
20 of us. My then boyfriend and
I at the time made the decision to
leave Dunedin, it was sort of quite
tainted by that experience (the
Bain murders). We transferred
up to Auckland University and I
finished up my English degree.
I realised in the course of that, it
was when North and South was
a very, very powerful magazine
and I just realised the power of
storytelling and how it can better
communities with these really
important stories that we tell
about ourselves. I then went to
journalism school in Auckland
and my first job was at the
Dominion Post in Wellington.

to taking Chch into the future
You did a stint at the Otago
Daily Times as well?
I did. I was living and working
in England, in Cambridge, with
my then boyfriend, now husband.
He’s a technology writer, we met at
journalism school. There are three
couples from our class and we’re
all still married. My father was
diagnosed with terminal cancer,
my parents lived in Dunedin,
so I moved back and worked at
the ODT. In my last role [South
Island editor-in-chief for Fairfax],
I had 19 community papers in my
portfolio, so I have had very close
contact with community papers.
When you started your career,
did you ever think you would
end up as an editor?
No, I’m not that deliberate.
Editing is an incredible privilege
and amazing fun and very hard as
well. I was just very fortunate to
get that opportunity.
Have any of your stories stuck
with you over the last 20 years?
Yes, there are some really, really
powerful ones. The very first
big story I covered as a junior
reporter at the Dominion. I was
working over Christmas and a
young couple [Ben Smart and
Olivia Hope] were reported
missing in the Marlborough
Sounds. Those stories always stick
with you.
Then more recently,
Christchurch. It was interesting
in itself, I was in Wellington
when the quakes of 2010 and
2011 happened. We were working
very closely with the team at The
Press and in fact on the evening
of February 22, we in Wellington
helped The Press team put out that
edition that landed on people’s
driveways on February 23.
That was pretty crazy and
incredible. That night the
reporters all worked, they filed
their copy and we helped produce
that edition of The Press from the
Wellington newsroom and that
next morning that Press was on
people’s driveways. I used to talk
about that publicly and people
would cry.
That’s the power of the media,
it’s so important.
BIG STORY: Joanna
Norris’ journalism career
started after being in a
class with David Bain
at Otago University,
while the first big story
she worked on was the
murder of Ben Smart
and Olivia Hope in
Marlborough.
Have you had any big
fumbles?
That’s the nature of news. There
have definitely been things that
I have reflected on later and
thought we could have handled
that differently, or we could have
put more thought into that, or I
wish we’d had more information
before we published that, we
would have been better off. That
being said, I always describe
the media as a bit of a blunt
instrument, in that you wobble
towards a position of truth
with each iteration of a story.
Journalists are not academics
sitting for three years doing a
thesis and producing a body
of work. You work to whatever
time you work to, weekly, daily
or digital, you get to the truth
and you hold those in power
accountable.
Do you miss working in the
media?
There’s a lot I miss about the
media, absolutely. But I am
also very fortunate to work
with journalists right across the
spectrum and that’s quite a treat
as well.
What do you see for the future
of journalism?
I have great hope for the
media. I think the commercial
proposition is deeply challenging
and very, very difficult in a New
Zealand environment where scale
is a challenge. There are only five
million people, there are only a
certain number of consumers
who are prepared to pay for a
product and a limited number of
advertisers.
But journalism is so
fundamental to a safe and strong
society that there must be a
way through this and I think
journalism is as good now as it’s
ever been.
Some of the investigative work
that’s done by teams across the
country by all media agencies
really makes a difference and
it’s absolutely essential that
the fourth estate keeps an eye
on people in power. It has to
continue.
Are you surprised or
disappointed by the moves made
by Channel Nine in Australia to
sell New Zealand assets such as
The Press?
No, media ownership
changes, it always has done. I
think when I worked for what
was then Fairfax, I think I
worked under three different
owners in the course of my career.
I always said to my newsroom,
you just do your job, your job
is to be a journalist and hold
the powerful to account and
be a watchdog and champion.
It’s other people’s jobs to worry
about what the governance and
ownership looks like. If you’re
continually worried about what’s
around the corner, you don’t do
your job properly.
Do you have any advice for
aspiring journalists who want to
get into the industry or young
reporters?
Just stay curious. But secondly,
know the power that you have. As
a young journo, you don’t quite
understand the words that you
write have an impact and often
you don’t see that impact. It will
change someone’s behaviour, it
will happen behind the scenes,
or the language that you use will
change someone’s life. Just always
be cognisant of the power that
you have both to do good and
damage.
What made you jump from
journalism to the corporate
world?
I had worked as the editor of
The Press for five years and had
overseen a lot of change in that
time. Some of that change was
really challenging to lead. I was
aware I would need to do a lot
more of that change management
as time went on. Again, I was
aware it was likely the next step
in my career at what was then
Fairfax would have been moving
back to Wellington.

Environment Canterbury
ANNUAL PLAN 2019-20
E19/7226
Environment Canterbury is considering its 2019-20
Annual Plan.
While the plan largely aligns with the most recent
Long-Term Plan, small changes to our fees and charges
policy and our revenue and financing policy are being
considered. Increased funding of public transport to
match funding from NZTA and increased funding in water
management, pest control and biodiversity are also being
considered, as well as a reduction in air quality funding.
These will impact on some ratepayers, depending on
their location, when the 2019-20 Regional Council
rate is confirmed.

Our People
LEADERSHIP: Joanna Norris said she moved to the corporate world so she could play a new
role in the city’s development.
Influencing things from
inside rather than outside
•From page 7
At the same time as I was
considering all of this, this job
became available and people had
conversations with me about this
role. So I had to weigh all of that
up and I realised the city was at
a bit of a watershed period as the
elections were on, there was a lot
of change going on in the city. I
saw, without wanting to overstate
my relevance, an opportunity to
influence things from inside the
tent rather than observing from
the outside. I was very fortunate
that I was with a leadership
cohort within the city that had
gone through a period of the city’s
history.
Then I had a chance to play a
different leadership role in the
city. It’s been interesting observing
the gendership in the city. When I
first came here I was a bit different
from the previous editors. I
would go into these networking
meetings in the city and I would
be the only woman. It was really
weird and confronting and scary.
That’s not so much the case
anymore, there are a lot more
peers who are women. A lot of
great men and women.
Can you tell me a little bit
about your family?
I’ve got two kids who are
amazing. They’re nine and
11. My husband Blayne is a
journo, so I suppose I’ve got a
naturally affinity to journalism,
we’ve grown up together. He’s
a freelancer and he’s primary
caregiver for our kids. I think –
and he and I often talk about this,
it’s one of those things that people
don’t often talk about – it’s really
hard to have two careers.
You’ve really got to think about
that as you start out in life and I
think it’s important for couples
to be really honest about that
together and work out how
they’re going to manage that
because kids are a full-time job in
themselves. It’s full-on. We always
thought that it would get less
work as they went to school, but
actually it gets more because they
get more sophisticated in their
needs. We’re lucky and I’m lucky
I get a lot of time with the kids as
well. Blayne and I share it pretty
well, although he did go surfing
this morning, which meant that I
was late for work but that’s okay.
What do you do on a day off?
I’ve got a good work-life
balance, I work pretty hard at
that. So we’ll go up into the hills,
we’ll go on tramps. We love
tramping as a family. We spent
quite a lot of time up in Hanmer.
We’re a real beach family. Blayne
has taught Evie and Ollie to surf,
they’re good wee surfers.
BEFORE WE get into this, I
need to say, still no luck on
finding my mouse. That bad boy
is probably long gone.
I’m beginning to dread future
hide and seek games, will I
disappear too?
However, over the last week
Vittoria has started holding
some things closer, and it’s very
cute.
She gets her favourite soft
toys, like her Dragon, wraps
her wee arms around them
and gives them a big, smiling,
moving side-to-side cuddle.
Dragon even gets a couple of
kisses on his cheek sometimes.
Very, very cute.
She even gave someone else’s
teddy a big cuddle at Baby
Times. I can’t wait to see her
give her friends big hugs too.
Last week started out
productively. Over the weekend,
Laura and I cleaned the whole
house (hence the mouse update)
with a focus on Vittoria’s room.
Her room has seen a lot of use
for storage, including her cot.
We’ve been co-sleeping with
the wee darling for a while now.
She got sick last year which
ended a joyous run of full nights
of sleep until we gave in and let
her into the big bed.
VITTORIA
& Matt
Long road ahead
getting back to cot
Thing is, getting her back into
sleeping in her own bed is not
going to be easy.
In bed with one of us, she
can roll over, touch us and get
reassured straight away that
she’s safe and with her parents.
In the cot, not so much.
It really highlights how much
like a little prison those things
are when you see your daughter
standing there, holding the bars
and crying like the world just
ended.
And if you’re used to having
your parents next to you when
you settle back to sleep, dad just
holding your hand is not going
to cut it.
So we’ve got a long road ahead
to get her back to a place where
she feels safe in her cot and
happy to sleep there all night.
A lot of that road will involve
very little sleep too.
To add to the difficulty, this
week Vittoria and I have got
some sort of cold. It may be
unfair, but I’m pretty sure I
got it off her since we spend so
much time in close proximity.

Give your
views on plan
for Scott Park
PUBLIC FEEDBACK is being
sought on the draft landscape
plan for Scott Park in Ferrymead.
The draft plan features native
trees, sealed parking areas,
an established picnic area and
improved access to the beach and
boat ramps.
It is open for public consultation
until March 11. Linwood-Central-
Heathcote Community Board
member Darrell Latham said
$145,000 will be available for the
park.
“This will not be enough to
complete the entire project. However,
it will mean that a start can
be made on the most important
aspects of the plan,” he said.
“From my perspective, I would
really like to see the access from
the Ferrymead bridge to the
jetty and planting and green space
enhancements done.”
City council head of parks
Andrew Rutledge said the plan
would regenerate and enhance the
popular park by improving water
access.
“Scott Park already meets multiple
community needs, particularly
with regard to recreational
water activities, but we want to
ensure that the area is well-placed
to meet future use,” Mr Rutledge
said.

MORE FUNDING could be
given to the Lyttelton Seafarers
Centre.
The Banks Peninsula
Community Board has asked
the city council to request
Christchurch City Holdings Ltd
and the Lyttelton Port Company
provide more funding for the
centre.
Christchurch City Holdings
Ltd is the city council’s
investment arm which runs key
infrastructure including the
port.
LPC gives $5000 to the centre
every year, while Christchurch
City Holdings Ltd does not
currently provide
the centre with any
funding.
Community board
deputy chairman Jed
O’Donoghue said the
amount of funding
to go towards the
centre has yet to be
determined.
Mr O’Donoghue
said the welfare of seafarers is a
humanitarian issue.

Port company blasting
at Gollans Bay Quarry
• By Louis Day
THE LYTTELTON Port
Company has started
blasting in Gollans Bay
Quarry.
The first blast took
place on Thursday. The
operation will include more
blasting and the use of large
earth-moving and mining
machinery.
LPC has advised
members of the public to
keep out of the quarry area,
which is owned by the port
company, and stick to city
council walking tracks.
LPC infrastructure
manager Mike Simmers
said the blasting will
typically occur about
noon, depending on the
site activity and other
constraints.
Mr Simmers said the
blasting would be relatively
quiet compared to the
piling for the harbour’s new
cruise berth.
“It may be audible in
Diamond Harbour, but
very unlikely to be heard
in Lyttelton itself. The blast
yesterday was not noticed at
our office,” he said.
The material collected
from the quarrying will
go towards LPC’s land
reclamation project in
which it tis looking to
expand the harbour by
24ha.
“Initial estimates indicate
up to 3.5 million cu m of
material is available from
the quarry.
“However, this may not
all be used to complete
the additional 24ha of
reclamation.”

THE combination of a

Rasmussen over summer.
The Bay Harbour threeyear-old
received a big
present which has added a
new dimension to his life.
Andr’e has numerous

minimal sight. He has been
unable to interact easily
with other children, and
unable to share in most of
his family’s activities.
That changed when he

impaired mobility. The cars
are adapted to individual
children’s conditions and
needs, and have dual control
– the child can steer,
but an adult has over-riding
control from a remote.
The aim is to help
children develop spatial
awareness and allow them
to be part of the family
action. Ferrymead
Rotary heard about
Andr’e and funded his
$1600 car through a
special quiz night.
His mum Dannii,
saw potential for
the car to help him
interact with other
children and to allow
him to take a greater
part in family life.
And her hopes have
been fulfilled. Going
to the park is a family
favourite, and Andr’e
has ridden to the local
library and along the
New Brighton pier.
“It has added a lot
more quality of life for
Andr’e and he’s happier
in the family,” said Ms
Rasmussen.

Sumner were able to post 136.
Leaving Saints 167 to win.
Sumner had 25min to bat
before lunch and Sumner were
fizzing to get a couple of quick
wickets before the break and that
most entries he has ever seen
in the competition with players
joining from other clubs to play.
Play is already under way and
there was a good crowd on Sunday
to watch some of the opening
games.
Finals weekend is on April 6
and 7 and the public is welcome
to go down and watch the games.
Another cricket tie
they did with Dan Vann taking
three and Dean Smith picking
one to have Saints 20-4.
After the break Saints again
fought back putting on 62 runs
where two wickets fell in quick
succession. R Gibbens then came
to the crease and took a liking
to the spinners picking up 30
off two overs and things were
looking dire for Sumner as Saints
only needed 16 to win with four
wickets in hand and two hours to
get them. But some tight bowling
from Dan Vann 4-27 and Simar
Singh and some great fielding/
poor running meant Saints lost
four wickets, the last with the
scores tied.
Earlier in the season Sumner
and St Albans also tied in the
T20 competition.

David Cox supported
people in a quiet way
Port Hills
MP Ruth
Dyson
pays
tribute to
former
city
councillor
and Hagley-
Ferrymead Community
Board member David
Cox
We are very fortunate in
New Zealand to have so
many people in our communities
who are “givers”
– whether it’s people who
serve on school boards,
coaches and referees of
our sports teams, people
who run our residents’ and
community associations,
or people who visit and
support those who are
otherwise isolated in their
homes.
It’s part of our culture
that should be celebrated.
The celebration of that
community giving was the
theme at the funeral service
for David Cox, whose passing
the Bay Harbour News
acknowledged last week.
David had an “ABCs” of
giving – arts, business,
community and sports. He
supported so much within
our area and the wider
Canterbury community –
driven by a sense of returning
to our country – his
adopted home – because he
felt so fortunate to be able
to make this his home.
This drive made me
reflect on how much we
take for granted if we
were born here and how
much we should actually
value what we have as New
Zealanders. We have access
to so many opportunities
here that many from other
countries dream about –
we should make the most
of them!
I want to add my reflections
on the life that David
Cox lived and celebrate
the fact that he had this
drive of returning his
good fortune. So many organisations
and individuals
benefitted from his generosity
of time and spirit. He
supported so many people
in a quiet way, connecting
people and groups, and
always with a manner of
impeccable respect and
politeness.
At his funeral, our mayor
reflected on the demise of
David Cox
these manners with the advent
of social media, where
hurtful and unnecessary
comments are accepted.
But I am not as despairing
as her words, as I see the
continued community activity
and others who have
followed in the example
set by David Cox – we are
all better off when we give
our times and skills to our
community.
May his family be
comforted in their loss and
may he rest in peace.

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.
Lyttelton resident
Alison Ross QSM
writes about the
repairs to Evans
Pass Rd
BOTH Lyttelton and
Sumner residents will be
delighted that the Evans Pass
conduit will be completed
and open for traffic
movements in March.
I must say, I thought
Lynette Ellis, the council
spokesperson,was
somewhat mean-spirited
in not acknowledging
the contractors and
stonemasons by name. So,
bouquets to Fulton Hogan
and their workers for a
magnificent job. Well done
to you all.
I note, however,
within the list of
accomplishments and
factual detail there is one
glaring omission, the
return of our geckos and
skinks.
Much was made of the
temporary relocation of
the reptiles at the time “to
protect the population”
yet now, in spite of the
completion of road and
infrastructure they remain
in the darkness and cold of
the Deans Bush leaf litter.
The reptiles are a Port
Hills colony with a genetic
memory and history extending
back to the last
interstadial approximately
8000 years ago.
Let’s have no
prevarication, delays or
excuses; immediately
return our fauna to their
home amongst the warm
rocks of the Port Hills
where they belong and not
repeat the sorry saga of
Powelliphanta Augusta,
(NZ native giant land
snail), some 4000 of which
were removed from the
Stockton and Denniston
plateaus only to languish
to this day, the majority
deceased, in a chilled
container somewhere on
the West Coast.

By negotiation – realistic vendor
5-6 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | 2-3 living rooms | 4 outdoor sheds | 3 bay barn/garage (1.23 hectares approx. Title pending) | Listing Number; 8453
As they say there is no substitute for quality
and this home has that in spades.
North facing, sheltered, and nestled amongst
mature trees and gardens this superbly built
spacious light and airy home of about 337m2
enjoys lovely sea and rural views and is also
very private.
Comprising 5/6 very generous bedrooms,
3 bathrooms including an en suite, and 2/3
living areas. The kitchen and lounge are
enormous, the hallways wide and most of the
rooms open on to covered verandah giving
shelter in Winter and shade in Summer. The
main living area is octagonal in shape and is
huge with a large wood-burner and also opens
onto the verandah and lawn area giving great
indoor outdoor flow.
The farm house style kitchen features plenty
of storage, a Rayburn stove connected to a
wetback and the entire house is centrally
heated with a diesel burner supplying hot
water radiators. Fully insulated throughout
and with double glazed cedar joinery you can
see and feel no expense has been spared on
this build.
The land (1.23 hectares approx. Title pending)
is a mixture of lawns, native plantings a
paddock and 2 very well established orchards.
There are 4 outdoor sheds, a good sized 3 bay
barn/garage, lockable with concrete floor,
3 phase power and toilet and good water
supplies with a spring and deep water bore.
This property gives many options due to its
size, i.e. extended family or Airbnb etc. etc.
and only a 12 minute drive to the Diamond
Harbour ferry giving access to Lyttelton and
the city.
This is the perfect opportunity to have the
lifestyle without having too much to look
after, a chance to be semi self-sufficient and all
this only 45 minutes approx. drive from the
city.
Only approx. 10 years old, to build this now
to this quality would cost well in excess of
the asking price so this is great buying in a
beautiful location.
