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 

celebrated with their family

Bid for 

new bus 

service 


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.

from the editor’s desk 

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 


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.

requested and is currently 

waiting to receive further 

technical information from 

council regarding costings, 

quality of cameras required and 

feedback from NZ Police so as to 

be able to be in a better position 

to make an informed decision.” 

Mr Wood said this was not 

good enough.

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.

Fire rages, homes at risk 

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 

of a fire in Charteris Bay last 

week. The fire destroyed about 

10m of hedge before the Diamond 

Harbour Volunteer Fire Brigade 

put it out. Chief fire officer Bob 

Palmer said nobody was hurt but 

the possum did not survive. 

LUCKY DRIVER 

A woman was lucky to come away 

with only a few scratches after 

the car she was driving crashed 

near the Charteris Bay Yacht Club

Volunteer Fire Brigade chief fire 

officer Bob Palmer said she was 

attempting to take a bend at speed 

in wet conditions. The car was 

badly damaged in the crash.

News 

Still going strong after 

65 years of marriage 

•From page 1 

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

their wedding day in 1954. 

was even more excited when he 

asked me to dance with him. 

Even the bumpy ride home didn’t 

put me off,” she said. 

Mr Burgess has been 

the coach, secretary 

and president of 

the Sumner Rugby 

Football Club and 

also the bowling 

club, secretary of 

the Sumner School 

committee, a member 

of Sumner Round 

Table and heavily 

involved in the Sumner 

Presbyterian Church. 

Mrs Burgess has 

been involved in 

Sumner Plunket, 

the Sumner School 

parent and teacher 

association, the 

kindergarten, and 

the Sumner Guides 

committee. 

Both helped Meals 

on Wheels for 22 years. 

The happy couple 

continue to be involved 

in the community, 

with Mr Burgess still

the Sumner Bowling 

Club and Mrs Burgess 

a member of the local Probus 

club. 

Governors Bay bus 

•From page 1 

However, Mr Gibbon said Gov 

Bus was the most sustainable 

option. 

Mr Gibbon said the 2010 

service performed poorly in its 

short period of operation. 

“It was not possible to 

continue operating it in the 

post-earthquake environment 

where the bus network immediately 

faced severe financial 

constraints,” he said. 

About 20 residents met last 

Wednesday to discuss what possible 

routes would work best for 

the community. 

“We want to establish a public 

IN THE February 13 edition 

of Bay Harbour News, it was 

reported city council manager 

of community parks Al Hardy 

said it was not a possibility for 

the Akaroa Catholic cemetery to 

be extended into the vacant land 

next to it. 

This was incorrect. What 

Mr Hardy said was there are 

no current plans to extend the 

cemetery. 

It was also incorrectly reported 

the cemetery was full except 

for burials in pre-purchased 

plots and second internments. 

bus, whether that is extending 

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.”

NEW RELEASES 

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 


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 

community 

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. 

Banks Peninsula Community 

Board member Janis Haley was

The Hunting Party 

by Lucy Foley 

EVERYONE’S INVITED. EVERYONE’S A SUSPECT. 

Bristling with tension, bitter rivalries, and toxic friendships, get ready for the most 

hotly-anticipated thriller of 2019. 

In a remote hunting lodge, deep in the Scottish wilderness, old friends gather for 

New Year. 

The beautiful one 

The golden couple 

The volatile one 

The new parents 

The quiet one 

The city boy 

The outsider 

The victim. 

Not an accident – a murder among friends. 

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 



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.

They provide a visual

The new aids include 

both fixed piles and spar

to large concrete blocks on 

the sea floor. 

All of the marks are 

coloured, red, white or

with the corresponding 

coloured light. The 

aids are constructed to 

international standards 

and conventions. The aids 

to the west and east of the

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.

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.

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

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. 

PHOTOS: PHOTOCPL 

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. 


SPORT 

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.

that there’s nothing stopping you 

getting into the venue. So there 

are some important dos and don’ts 

that need to be followed.

which runs at regular intervals 

from Parklands through the city
