Marriage and Sumner: A great partnership
• By Louis Day
SHIRLEY AND Ron Burgess
are two of Sumner’s most
recognisable people.
Last week they celebrated 65
years of marriage.
Sixty-one of those years they
have spent in Sumner and they
say they plan to spend the rest of
their lives there.
“It just feels like home. We
love being part of a caring
community – and of course, we
love walking and enjoying the
lovely beach,” Mrs Burgess, 86,
said.
Mr and Mrs Burgess

Bid for
new bus
service
• By Louis Day
GOVERNORS BAY residents
have re-ignited their campaign for
a public bus service.
Governors Bay has not had a
public bus service since late 2010.
However, that service was short
lived due to the earthquakes.
In 2017, residents submitted a
request for the 535 bus service to
be extended from Rapaki through
to Governors Bay and to The
Princess Margaret Hospital. This
was rejected by ECan and the 535
route was terminated in 2018.
Said Environment Canterbury
senior manager of public
transport Stewart Gibbon:
“The 535 route was performing
poorly, and when staff assessed
the community’s proposal, our
view was that this extension was
unlikely to have a positive effect
on the performance of the route,
so it was not pursued further.”
Volunteer bus service Gov Bus
was set up to fill the void left by
the short-lived public bus service
and has been in operation since
2013.
But now resident Helen Schulte
is spearheading the campaign
for a public bus service. She said
the Gov Bus service was unable
to cater for the needs of the community.

NEWSPAPERS DON’T often cover 65th
wedding anniversaries anymore because
they are now quite common.
The anniversaries are very special to the
couple involved and their family, but from a
public interest point of view, not so much.
So there has to be a bit of a back story or an X-factor to it for a
65th to make news now.
But in Shirley and Ron Burgess (front page today), there is a
back story.
The couple are very well known in Sumner – and why wouldn’t
they be after living there for just over 60 years.
They’ve been involved in many clubs and done their bit to help
the community, so a story there is.
And they had a great day celebrating.

Crime cameras needed now
• By Louis Day
A KEY FIGURE behind the bid
for crime cameras in Sumner
says they are now needed more
than ever.
Matt Wood said the area
should have some form of
security after a string of petty
crime this month.
Tools have been stolen from
two separate construction sites,
four vehicles have
been broken into,
and cars have
been vandalised.
Mr Wood,
who lives in
Sumner and is
chief executive
Matt Wood
of security
company,
October
Protection, is ready to supply
Safer Sumner with security
cameras after the group raised
$4000.
But police say $20,000 cameras
are needed so they can be
aligned to their system.
Safer Sumner approached the
Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board for the
additional $16,000 in December.
The group is waiting for more
information which may come
back mid-next month.

is opposition.”
He said the $4000 cameras
would be better than nothing
and would at least act as a
deterrent.
“Criminals will look for two
things, weakness and wealth,
Sumner portrays both and is
especially vulnerable with an
absence of cameras and a police
presence,” Mr Wood said.
Sergeant Franco Lovrich said
it was essential the cameras
aligned with their system.
“If you put a camera that is not
compatible with our system, it
is going to cause a whole heap
of resourcing issues in terms
of who is going to review the
footage,” he said.
Safer Sumner’s Kath Preston
agreed the area desperately
needed some form of security
but saw the cameras that aligned
with the police system as the
most logical option.
“I see the police cameras as the
long-term solution,” she said.

BACH LEASES
A hearings panel has
recommended the city council
extend the lease of the Taylors
Mistake baches by 35 years.
The hearings panel, chaired by
city councillor Sara Templeton,
recommended if the natural
hazard risk is proven to be
acceptable, the city council
should offer bach owners a 35-
year licence, with conditions
to protect heritage, mitigate
natural hazards and maintain
the character of the area. The city
council will consider the panel’s
recommendation next month.
POSSUM CAUSES FIRE
A possum tangled in power lines
on Andersons Rd was the cause

Still going strong after
65 years of marriage

They have both been heavily
involved in the community since
moving to Sumner in 1958, being
prominent figures in a long list of
community groups.
Mr Burgess, 88, owned
Mitchell’s grocery store on the
corner of Nayland and Menzies
Sts and Mrs Burgess worked as a
secretary for Fletcher Industries.
They first met on Guy Fawkes
night in 1950 during a dance at
the Papanui RSA.
Mr Burgess recalls the night:
“I remember Shirley being a
very good dancer, I had two left
feet and still have. I asked her
for a dance and was surprised
when she accepted. The next step
was asking her to attend supper
together – she accepted again –
then I was so happy when she
said, yes, when I asked if I could
take her home. Little did she
know I didn’t have a car – just an
old bike – and her home was a
good 10km away.”
Mrs Burgess said they clicked
straight away.
“I worked in Riccarton and
had seen him around and rather
fancied him so was very excited
when I saw him at the dance. I

Governors Bay bus

However, Mr Gibbon said Gov
Bus was the most sustainable

Mr Gibbon said the 2010

“It was not possible to

Mr Hardy said was there are

another service or reinstigating
what was trialled in 2010, I don’t
know,” Ms Schulte said.
Gov Bus chairman Hugh
MacEwan said he fully
supported Ms Schulte in her
campaign for a public bus
service.
“Gov Bus for various reasons
cannot satisfy the needs of the
community, a lot of that has to
do with the fact that we don’t
have enough volunteers.”
The service does not operate
on weekends or public holidays
and bookings must be made the
day before.
Akaroa cemetery
In response to requests from
residents and the Banks Peninsula
Community Board, city
council staff conducted a survey
of the operational area to identify
additional burial plots. This
work led to an additional 14
burial plots being made available
at the cemetery.
These additional plots have
extended the capacity for burial
in the Akaroa area another four
to five years based on current
demand.

‘Confusion’ over open road signs
Police boss
wants them
replaced
• By Anan Zaki
TOURISTS ARE driving too
slow because they don’t know
what an open road sign means.
Senior Sergeant Pete Stills
is calling on the signs to be
removed and replaced with signs
stating the speed
limit.
Open roads
are marked with
a black stripe
in a white circle
(right) and have
a speed limit of
100km/h.
Pete Stills
“I don’t like
open road signs.
So many people
nowadays don’t know what they
are, particularly foreign drivers.”
“I stopped a couple of Chinese
girls . . . last year and they were
doing 70km/h because that was
the last actual sign they had seen,
although they had gone past the
open road sign but they didn’t
know what it was,” he said.
“We should just have a speed
limit on the sign so that there’s
no confusion on what the speed
limit is.”
However, Senior Sergeant Stills’
pleas have fallen on deaf ears. The
New Zealand Transport Agency
had no plans to change the way
the signs look.
Said an NZTA spokeswoman:
“The de-restricted sign has been
an option for road controlling
authorities to sign the default
open road speed limit in New
Zealand for many years. It
was retained when we went to
100km/h as the upper speed limit
on the open road,” an NZTA
spokeswoman said.
But Automobile Association
principal adviser regulations
Mark Stockdale agreed some
tourists may not be familiar with
the open road sign.
“Although they [tourists]
are encouraged to familiarise
themselves with New Zealand
road rules and road rule
collateral is provided by many
rental companies,” Mr Stockdale
said.
He said open road signs are
still authorised signs and other
factors may be in play when it
comes to tourists driving slowly.
Said Mr Stockdale: “The fact
that some visiting drivers are
travelling below the speed limit
may also suggest that they are
driving at a speed that feels
comfortable to them based on the
look and feel of the road.”

Let Her Fly - A Father’s Journey and
the Fight for Equality
by Ziauddin yousafzai
The story of the father who inspired the phenomenon
Let Her Fly traces the inspirational journey of Malala Yousafzai’s
father, Ziauddin, from a boy in Shangla to a man who broke with
tradition and proves there are many faces of feminism. With humor
and sincerity, Yousafzai describes his life before the Talibanization
of Mingora, scenes of his sons Khusal and Atal fighting kites on the
roof, his progressive partnership with his wife Toor Pekai, and the
challenge of raising children in an unfamiliar country. After Malala
was shot by the Taliban, the Yousafzai family was completely
uprooted from their home in the Swat Valley and forced to start over
in the United Kingdom. Now, Ziauddin expresses the complex pain
and joy of his return, six years later, to the site of Malala’s attack.
Let Her Fly is an intimate family portrait by the father of one of the most remarkable leaders in the
world today. Ziauddin and Toor Pakai have set a singular example for parents who hope to empower
their children to make a difference. Let Her Fly will resonate with anyone who has ever cared for a
child, as Ziauddin Yousafzai shares what he’s learned from his children, and what he hopes to teach
the world.
The Great Wide Open
By douglas Kennedy
It’s 1980s New York. Heady, excessive times. Alice Burns - a
young book editor - is deep into a manuscript about the morass of
family life. The observations resonates, perhaps because she has
just watched her own family implode. As she reads she wonders:
When did the sadness start? And could it be that unhappiness is
a choice? Thus begins a great American epic which follows Alice
as she navigates high school bullying, first love and sexism at an
elite college, a spell in 1970’s Ireland, and a tragedy that sends her
stateside as the US embraces a cowboy actor named Reagan. But it
is also the tale of her endlessly complex parents and brothers; how
their destinies are written by the lies they tell themselves and others.
The Great Wide Open is an immensely ambitious and compulsive
saga; a novel which will speak volumes to anyone who has
marvelled at that pain that can only be caused by family itself.

Annelies – A novel By david r. Gillham
A powerful and deeply humane new novel that asks the question:
What if Anne Frank survived the Holocaust?
The year is 1945, and Anne Frank is sixteen years old. Having
survived the concentration camps, but lost her mother and sister, she
reunites with her father, Pim, in newly liberated Amsterdam. But it’s
not as easy to fit the pieces of their life back together. Anne is adrift,
haunted by the ghosts of the horrors they experienced, while Pim is
fixated on returning to normalcy. Her beloved diary has been lost,
and her dreams of becoming a writer seem distant and pointless
now.
As Anne struggles to overcome the brutality of memory and
build a new life for herself, she grapples with heartbreak, grief,
and ultimately the freedom of forgiveness. A story of trauma and
redemption, Annelies honors Anne Frank’s legacy as not only a
symbol of hope and perseverance, but also a complex young woman of great ambition and heart.
Anne Frank is a cultural icon whose diary painted a vivid picture of the Holocaust and made her an
image of humanity in one of history’s darkest moments. But she was also a person—a precocious
young girl with a rich inner life and tremendous skill as a writer. In this masterful new novel, David R.
Gillham explores with breathtaking empathy the woman—and the writer—she might have become.

Cruise ships anchor further away
• By Louis Day
CRUISE SHIPS in Akaroa have
started to anchor further away
from the wharf due to concerns
over the impact larger ships are
having on the sea bed.
Larger ships have begun
anchoring at anchorage No
2, about 1km south-east of
anchorage No 1 because it is
deeper in this area.
Acting regional harbourmaster
Ian Fox said this was a
precautionary
move.
“We have
chosen to use
anchorage No
2 following
questions
raised by the

Ian Fox
regarding
potential silt
disturbance in
Akaroa Harbour. At this point,
there is no evidence to suggest
this is a problem,” he said.
Mr Fox said anchorage No 2
was only slightly further away
from the wharf than anchorage
No 1 due to the navigational
paths of the ships.

The Last Days of the Romanov Dancers
by Kerri Turner
Petrograd, 1914. A country on a knife edge. The story of two people caught in the
middle – with everything to lose...
A stunning debut from a talented new Australian voice in historical fiction.
Valentina Yershova’s position in the Romanovs’ Imperial Russian Ballet is the only
thing that keeps her from the clutches of poverty. With implacable determination, she
has clawed her way through the ranks, relying not only on her talent but her alliances
with influential men that grant them her body, but never her heart. Then Luka Zhirkov
- the gifted son of a factory worker - joins the company, and suddenly everything she
has built is put at risk.
For Luka, being accepted into the company fulfils a lifelong dream. But in the eyes
of his proletariat father, it makes him a traitor. As civil war tightens its grip and the
country starves, Luka is torn between his growing connection to Valentina and his
guilt for their lavish way of life.
For the Imperial Russian Ballet has become the ultimate symbol of Romanov
indulgence, and soon the lovers are forced to choose: their country, their art or each
other...
A powerful novel of revolution, passion and just how much two people will sacrifice...

CAUSE FOR CONCERN: Larger cruise ships have begun anchoring further down the harbour
following concerns around the impact they were having on the sea bed.
This resulted in 713 passengers
and 50 crew from the ship
having to take shelter in a local
hall.
However, Mr Fox insisted
cruise ships at anchorage No 2
would not be at greater risk than
the ones at anchorage No 1.
“Anchorage No 1 and 2 are
identical in the level of exposure
to weather conditions. If it
happens at anchorage No 2 it
would happen at anchorage No
1. All anchorages provide the
same level of safety for the ships
that use them.”

Museum puts
Lyttelton’s
past on screen
Fire rages, homes at risk
• By Louis Day
LYTTELTON Museum will
screen footage of the port town
from the early 20th century to
fundraise for a new building.
Resident Hamish Fairbairn and
the museum have been working
with Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision
to create a journey into Lyttelton’s
past.
There will be two screenings on
March 15 and 16 at the LAF theatre
in Lyttelton. Entry will cost
$20 and the proceeds will go tothe
construction of the new museum
building.
The preliminary design for the
new museum is estimated to be a
month away from being finalised.
Lyttelton Museum vice-president
Lizzie Meek said the screenings
will feature footage from the
early 1900s to 1980s.
“There will be some elements
on the screen that we have lost
now which I think will be quite a
nostalgic experience for people,”
she said.
Some of the footage will be silent
and accompanied with music
from Christchurch-based musician
Motte. Gary McCormick will
host the screening.

PROUD MOMENT: ECan councillor Iaean Cranwell and councillor Cynthia
Roberts flank a proud Pam Richardson and her husband Ian.
Richardson awarded for
outstanding contribution
A FOUNDING member of the Banks
Peninsula water zone committee, Pam
Richardson, received an outstanding
contribution award for her work on the
committee.
At a recent Environment Canterbury
meeting, chairman Steve Lowndes
acknowledged Ms Richardson’s incredible
list of community roles, including former
North Canterbury Federated Farmers
president, former Akaroa Waiwera
Community Board chairwoman, current
Banks Peninsula Community Board
chairwoman and founding member of
the Banks Peninsula Conservation Trust.
The trust was created in 2001 after the
Banks Peninsula District Council Plan
identified large natural areas that needed
protection.
The trust has now registered more than
60 covenants on private land, totalling
about 1200ha now protected into the
future.
The trust received a green ribbon award
in 2017 for community leadership.
Cr Lowndes shared his own personal
experience of working with Ms Richardson
on the water zone committee.
“We’d have meetings all across the
peninsula in Lyttelton, Living Springs,
Akaroa, and I always had in my mind I
only have to go around the rim of one
crater but Pam has to go around the rims
of two craters to get home. I always had
that in my mind,” he said.
ECan councillor Cynthia Roberts
described Ms Richardson’s effective means
for getting change.
“I would liken you to the broken record
technique, which is an excellent way of
working away at the stone and making a
difference, and thanks for doing that,” she
said.
Cr Roberts credited Ms Richardson
for including a targeted pest rate for the
whole of the Banks Peninsula and working
towards the Predator Free Banks Peninsula
goal.
Ms Richardson said she was humbled to
be recognised by ECan.
“My work in the community has been
my life. It’s my self-esteem, my recreation,
my hobby. It’s not about me, it’s about
all of us. It’s about you standing in my
shoes and I standing in your shoes and
understanding these issues,” she said.

Targeted rate plan for
Akaroa health centre
AKAROA residents may
face a targeted rate to fund
the Akaroa Community
Health Centre.
The Akaroa Community
Health Trust asked the city
council to provide it with a
grant of up to $1.3 million
and suggested that city
council recover the money
through a targeted rate on
all properties within the
Akaroa subdivision of the
Banks Peninsula ward.
The city council’s
finance and performance
committee has agreed
in principle to the trust’s
request, but it wants to
be confident there is
strong support from the
community for a targeted
rate before it makes a final
decision.
Consultation on the
grant and targeted rate is
open until March 27.
“It is important that
we consult with the
community and hear their
views about contributing to
the costs of the new health
centre through a targeted
rate,’’ said Deputy Mayor
and Banks Peninsula
city councillor Andrew
Turner.
If there is support for a
targeted rate, it will mean
that each ratepayer in the
Akaroa subdivision will
pay an additional annual
fixed charge on top of their
normal rates.
The amount of the
annual fixed charge will
depend on whether the
community wants the
targeted rate to be applied
over a four or a 10-year
period:
If it applies for a fouryear
period, the annual
fixed charge will be
about $130.20 (including
GST) per property. If
the targeted rate applies
for 10-years, the annual
fixed charge will be about
$58.63 (including GST) per
property.
If the targeted rate is
approved following the
community consultation, it
will come into effect from 1
July this year.

IT’S BEEN a tough week.
Completely out of
Vittoria’s hands and not her
fault – no, she has been a
great help.
Last week, a family
emergency saw me head
to Dunedin for a couple of
days.
I’m sorry to be so vague,
it’s not like my whānau
subscribes to the Mafioso
notion of omerta or
anything, it’s just a family
matter.
To put it simply, it’s been,
and still is, an emotionally
trying time for all of us.
Luckily, Laura was able to
be home with Vittoria while
I was away.
She even took Vittoria to
a swimming lesson for the
first time, I’m so proud of
her.
I would have been stuffed
without her.
It certainly gave me an
appreciation for how lucky
we are to have each other to
rely on. Being a solo parent
must be bloody hard.
While I was away in
Dunedin,
Vittoria learned a new trick
– the laughs it has provided
have been very much
appreciated.
You know when you see
toddlers have big tantrums?
And they fall on the
ground, kicking their legs
and screaming?
Imagine that, but in slow
motion and way more chill.
She cries about whatever
is bothering her (most
likely the fact she can’t do
something) then gently and
slowly lies down and looks
at you.
I’m pleased to say she
doesn’t cry or stamp her
VITTORIA
& Matt
feet while on the ground.
Yet.
Watch this space.
When I got back, we
still had a full on weekend
ahead. On Saturday we
took Vittoria out to the
noodle markets and then
Sparks in Hagley Park.
Vittoria tried everything
we ate, ran around the
grounds in and out of
people’s legs and even
managed to borrow
someone else’s chair (they
knew us and offered it, so it
was okay).
She had a great time and
didn’t even freak out when
the fireworks woke her up.
The only downside to it was
that the late night kind of
wrecked her sleep pattern
for a couple of nights. And
ours.

THE LYTTELTON Port
Company has installed new
navigation aids to mark
the recently deepened,
widened and lengthened
shipping channel.
They provide a visual
aid so ships can be safely
guided into the port.
The new aids include
both fixed piles and spar
buoys, which are anchored
to large concrete blocks on
the sea floor.
All of the marks are
coloured, red, white or
green and lit at night
with the corresponding
coloured light. The
aids are constructed to
international standards
and conventions. The aids
to the west and east of the
reef are being used to align
vessels in the navigation
channel and do not mark
the extent of the reef.

Learn the
rules around
jet skis
Navigation safety officer
Gary Manch outlines the
rules for jet skiers
AFTER MY previous article,
some interest was generated
from my comments about the
rules around jet skis. Here they
are:
•A jet ski is classed as a type
of boat propelled by a motor.
So, the rules pertaining to power
boats also apply to jet skis.
•When within 200m of the
shore, the speed limit is five
knots (about 9km/h) or a fast
walking pace, unless there is a
marked access lane, or the area
is designated an uplifted speed
zone under the Navigation
Safety Bylaw. The bylaw has
maps showing these areas.
This includes rivers or the like
that are less than 200m wide
– five knots is the rule unless
uplifted.
•When within 50m of another
vessel, a swimmer, or structure,
the speed limit is five knots.
•You must be over the age of
15 to operate a powered vessel
unless a person aged 15 or
over is able to take immediate
control in an emergency.
•Life jackets must be worn on
all vessels 6m or less.
•If towing a skier behind
the jet ski, there must be an
observer on board over the
age of 10 who can advise the
skipper of any incidents with the
skier immediately.
•If there is a buoy saying ‘No
power craft’, then that’s what it
means; No power craft, end of
story.
•Jet skis are required to be
identified under part 20 of
the Navigation Safety Bylaw
2016. This means they require
the registration number of
the trailer that tows the jet ski
on either side of the vessel. It
must be 90mm high and visible
from 50m to the naked eye,
above the waterline. There are
some exceptions, and these
can be found under part 20 of
the Navigation Safety Bylaw
2016. The bylaw can be found
at https://www.ecan.govt.nz/
do-it-online/harbourmastersoffice/recreational-boating
Hopefully, this has clarified
some of the issues. Be safe out
there.
Port Hills
National
list MP Nuk
Korako
reflects on the
earthquakes
and the
Nelson
wildfires
TODAY AS I write this column
it is February 22. A day we will
never forget as that day changed
so many lives and circumstances.
We really took the brunt of the
major earthquakes in our Port
Hills region and today means
something different to each and
every one of us.
It isn’t all doom and gloom
but I do want to take a moment
to reflect on the devastation the
Nelson wildfires have caused. I
am so grateful there was no loss
of life and that can be attributed
to the extraordinary efforts of the
emergency response teams which
ensured the impact on the community
was kept to an absolute
minimum.
I travelled to Nelson to see the
situation first-hand, as many of
our local firefighters were there
working beside the local Nelson/
Tasman crews and I caught up
with most of them.
For us in the Port Hills, we
can really relate to the sense of
loss of beautiful forestland, as
well as the destruction of homes

containing a lifetime of memories.
February 13 was the second
anniversary of the Port Hills
fire. We still see the scars of our
fire on a daily basis here in the
Port Hills yet it has given us an
opportunity to recreate a habitat
more in keeping with its original
environment.
Not-for-profit groups, such as
Te Tapuwae o Rakau Trust (The
Tree Footprints Trust) Summit
Road Society and so many others,
are all involved in planting.

Replica Warbirds thrill RSA members
Sumner Redcliffs RSA
secretary Bernie Godden
reports on the club’s trip
to a private air hanger
at Loburn Abbey where
replica Warbird aircraft are
built
OUR LATEST activity, organised
by committee member Barry
Keast, was a trip to Loburn
Abbey.
Situated in beautiful
countryside on the Canterbury
Plains, with the Port Hills of
Banks Peninsula in the distance,
this seems the most unlikely
place to find an enthusiast who
builds his own replica aircraft.
The collection includes a
Spitfire Supermarine 26B, Titan
Mustangs, a Tiger Moth and
others – all in flying order or in
the process of being constructed
from kits. Typically, these aircraft
are 75-90 per cent to scale,
but every bit as complex and
impressive as the originals.
As we got off the coach, we
were welcomed by Ivan and
Sandy Campbell and offered tea,
coffee and pikelets.
Mr Campbell, with a passing
resemblance to Rock Hudson
(someone said), gave us an
interesting history of the
enterprise, aided by his charming
wife (who also likes to fly). As he
explained, aircraft building is not
his only interest. Some years ago
he became aware of the demand
for a personalised, high-quality
flying helmet for pilots of light

aircraft. After constructing his
own hi-tech model, interest
spread rapidly. Soon they were
landing orders from all over the
world. Each helmet is made to
measure and personalised. The
high-impact protection soon
earned the helmet a reputation
for reducing injury and even
saving lives. Actor Harrison Ford
was among the famous clients
who praised the product for
saving him from serious head
Quake and fire scars still evident on Port Hills
Fire rages, homes at risk
injury in a flying accident.
Following the presentation
and question time, we moved
out from the hangar to watch
our host fly one of his aircraft, a
Mustang. He often flies this and
other aircraft at displays across
New Zealand and abroad as far as
Europe.
After the pre-flight checks, our
intrepid pilot was airborne. No
spectator could have watched this
scene without reminiscing on
the bygone days and the wartime
pilots to whom we owe so much –
a poignant moment.
A short while later we climb
aboard the coach to leave, at a
somewhat more sedate pace,
towards Rangiora. There we
visited the prestigious Rangiora
RSA buildings. We are all very
impressed (and more than a little
envious) of their facilities. Their
members are a friendly bunch,
the drinks are cheap, and the
food first class. A few hours later
we tumble (not stagger) back to
the coach and sing our way back
home. The end to a perfect day.
Over these summer
months, fantastic festivals and
concerts take place. Ōtautahi
Christchurch is now home
to more than 30 migrant
communities. With these
communities come celebrations
and events that showcase our
diverse city.
So you can imagine the real
privilege I feel to be able to go
along and enjoy the different
ways that people share their cultural
backgrounds with us. From
performances to the unbelievably
tasty food they showcase, we are
a far richer more vibrant community
for these events.
There are still plenty of summer
events to enjoy, such as the
first “Our Seas Our Future”
beach clean-up at Sumner on Saturday,
Mt Pleasant and Lyttelton
farmers’ markets, or music in the
parks.
Have a great week.

CHAMP: Ava Henderson continued her rich vein of form this year, winning the under-16 girls
title at the Billabong Grom Series.

Ava surfs to grom
series title in style
TAYLORS MISTAKE surfer
Ava Henderson was crowned
champion of the under-16 girls
division after completing the
Billabong Grom Series in style
over the weekend.
Ava, 13, won the final round
of the series at Piha, west of
Auckland, after coming into the
weekend with the series lead.
She took the lead after a
win at the second event in
Whangamata and finishing
second in the opening round at
Mt Maunganui.
With bad weather marching
up the West Coast and set to
slam into Piha on Sunday, the
event was completed in one big
day. Saturday produced solid
1m waves, ruffled by light crossonshore
wind at the south end of
Piha.
Ava advanced to the final with
a score of 8.9 in her heat, which
was good enough for second.
In the final she took things to
another level scoring a 12.0 to
win ahead of Taranaki’s Natasha
Gouldsbury (9.27), Piha’s Liv
Haysom (8.76) and Raglan’s
CUT BACK: Estella Hungerford finished fourth in the Billabong
Grom Series under-18 girls division final.
Brie Bennett (8.4). Ava has been
in a rich vein of form this year.
The previous weekend she won
both the under-16 and under-18
girls divisions at the third round
of the grom series at Curio Bay
in The Catlins.

Fellow Taylors Mistake surfer
Estella Hungerford also had a
strong showing at Piha.
The 16-year-old finished fourth
in the final of the under-18 girls
division. Earlier she won her
semi-final with a score of 11.5.
Sumner runner
takes out Old Ghost
marathon again
SUMNER RUNNING Club
led the way at the 85km Old
Ghost Ultra Marathon over the
weekend with three runners
finishing in the top four.
Ultra-marathon guru Vijan
Armstrong won the West Coast
event in a time of 7hr 7min. This
was the 38-year-old’s third year
competing at the event. He now
has two wins and a second.
Behind him was fellow
Sumner club member and
Armstrong’s occasional training
partner, Chris Dunnell. The
32-year-old police officer
finished just over 3min behind
Armstrong in his first race of
this distance.
The result was the opposite of
the Buller Half Marathon earlier
this month in which Dunnell
won the race in 1hr 12min, just
over 30sec ahead of Armstrong
in second.
Meanwhile, Lisa Brignull
was thrilled to cross the line in
fourth in the female division
of the marathon with a time
BAY HARBOUR
of 9hr 21min. The 44-yearold
competed at the Buller
Marathon, finishing in a time of
3hr 5min to finish third in the
women’s field.
The Old Ghost ultra was
filled to capacity with 300
competitors on the start line,
89 of which were not from New
Zealand. The event started at the
Mokihinui River and finished at
Lyell in the upper Buller Gorge
with more than 2600m of ascent
along the way.
Next month, Armstrong will
travel to the Netherlands to race
in the Rotterdam Marathon as
a qualifier for the prestigious
Comrades Ultra-marathon
in South Africa in June. He
will spend three weeks in the
highlands of Kenya at a training
camp in the Rift Valley, which
is famous for middle and long
distance running.
Meanwhile, Dunnell will
travel to the Blue Mountains
in Australia to compete in the
22km Ultra Trail Australia.
STAMINA: Vijan Armstrong won the Old Ghost Ultra
Marathon for the second straight year.

are some important dos and don’ts
that need to be followed.

surprises when you arrive,
take a few minutes to read our

DIAMOND HARBOUR
Four Holmwood Seasons Realty
Deceased estate- Must be Sold
Panoramic views of Lyttelton Harbour and the Diamond Harbour jetty are what you
get from this property which has been in the same family for over 20 years. This home
will suit retirees, families, or people looking for a weekend retreat and is now on offer
for someone else’s enjoyment.
My owner has given the home a fresh coat of paint and even through it is in the
original condition, there is still plenty of scope to modernise to your taste
Sitting on a sizable sheltered and sunny private section of 1221m2 which is bordering
the reserve leading straight down to the sea, there is no shortage of spaces to escape!
Enjoy being part of the growing community of Diamond Harbour, this location is
handy to all amenities and in zone for Cashmere High school.
If you seek a relaxing hideaway in a position that will never be built
out this represents affordable entry into a coveted position with
the bonus of motivated sellers.
There is no plan B, this will be sold on auction day.
