Beach access one step further forward
• By Louis Day
THE FIRST set of permanent
access steps between the
planned Coastal Pathway
and Sumner beach have been
completed.
Work on the second steps
started last week.
City council transport
planning and delivery manager
Lynette Ellis said work on the
4m-wide Coastal Pathway
would start this month once the
rock revetment wall had been
completed.
One crew is currently
working on the Shag Rock
end of the rock revetment
wall towards Gollans Point,
and another crew is working
from the Sumner Surf
Lifesaving Club towards the
other crew.
The rock revetment wall
has been designed to provide
coastal protection to Main Rd,
as well as to support the Coastal
Pathway which will run along
the top.

Big changes
looming
for Banks
Peninsula
Community
Board
• By Louis Day
WHOLESALE changes loom for
the Banks Peninsula Community
Board.
Five members of the board may
not stand in October’s local body
elections due to concerns over the
money board members receive
and the time pressures they face.
Chairwoman Pam Richardson,
and members Jed O’Donoghue,
Janis Haley and John McLister
told Bay Harbour News they
are unlikely to run in the next
election, while Felix Dawson said
he has not made a commitment to
run yet.
Tori Peden said she plans to
run again while newly-appointed
deputy chairman Tyrone Fields
said he would run if he was
selected.
The pay rates for the mayor,
city councillors and community
board members are currently set
by the Remuneration Authority
using a population-based
model, so boards in areas with
bigger populations get better
remuneration.

from the editor’s desk
THE DECKS look like they might be
cleared on the Banks Peninsula Community
Board (see page 1).
I’m not surprised why. It comes down
to money and time. There have been
rumblings on the board for sometime about
the remuneration. And that now looks like it will bite at October’s
local body elections.
Most members say they won’t stand or are unlikely to. I
sympathise with them. Being a city councillor or community
board member is a big commitment. Councillors get paid plenty;
it should be a full-time job.
But for a community board member it is a different story. You
need another source of income to pay the bills.
The sooner the Remuneration Authority sorts the Banks
Peninsula stuff the better.

Call to replace dangerous steps
• By Louis Day
RESIDENTS ARE calling for
a pontoon at the Diamond
Harbour wharf.
The wharf currently has a set
of steps where people are picked
up from.
Diamond Harbour Community
Association chairman
Richard Suggate said these steps
were dangerous and had resulted
in people falling into the water
on several occasions.
“When the boat
docks there during
a high swell
the rear end of the
boat goes in and

out leaving a gap
that people have
to jump across, if
you are elderly or
not able-bodied it can be a real
problem,” he said.
City council head of parks Andrew
Rutledge said planning for
major capital improvements to
the wharf were scheduled to start
this year which would be followed
by public and stakeholder
consultation.
Mr Suggate said it was vital a
pontoon was part of the planned
renovation.
“With a pontoon like they have

in Lyttelton, the boat is hard
against the flat platform.”
Park rangers were at the wharf
last week on Wednesday and
Thursday to carry out repairs to
a loose handrail.
Mr Rutledge said further
maintenance would be done to
the wharf towards the end of this
month.
“General maintenance,
including ‘wear and tear’ occurs
on all marine structures,
particularly during higher use
summer months. A planned
maintenance work programme
is due to start on March 25,” he
said.
In Brief
SUMNER RD OPENING
The road linking Sumner to
Lyttelton will reopen on March 29.
Contractors have spent the past
two-and-a-half years working to
reinstate Sumner Rd, which has
been closed to traffic since tonnes of
rock came tumbling down onto it
from the surrounding cliffs during
the February 22, 2011, earthquake.
PUMP STATION PROJECT
Work is under way on a new
pump station at Simeon Quay as
part of a $53 million project to
upgrade wastewater services in
the Lyttelton Harbour area. The
new pump station will connect to
two under water pipelines which
have been built to carry untreated
wastewater from the Governors
Bay and Diamond Harbour to
Lyttelton.
HISTORIC PHARMACY
The old pharmacy building on
Rue Lavaud in Akaroa is unlikely
to receive city council funding
for its remediation. The owners
of the historic building applied
for funding from the social,
community development and
housing committee. However,
city council staff recommended
the application be rejected. The
committee is due to make its
decision on the funding today.

Richardson, Tori Peden and Tyrone Fields – may have some new faces after the
local body elections in October.
Board changes loom
•From page 1
Banks Peninsula board
members – excluding the
chair, deputy chair and city
councillors – receive $9670
a year.
That is less than half the
$24,098 paid to Halswell-
Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board
members.
Ms Richardson is paid
$19,342, while Halswell-
Hornby-Riccarton
chairman Mike Mora is
paid $48,196.
City council secretary
Jo Daly said the
Remuneration Authority
has indicated it would be
taking a new approach
following the local body
elections this year.
However, Remuneration
Authority director Mike
Kunz said no decisions
regarding the remuneration
of community board
members had been made
yet.
Rev McLister said he will
not be run again due to the
lack of remuneration for
members.
“It is simply the wrong
mechanism to judge
what a Banks Peninsula
Community Board
member has to do. We
have big problems, we are
bigger than the city and we
have to travel more than
anyone else,” Rev McLister
said.
Deputy mayor and
Banks Peninsula councillor
Andrew Turner agreed the
population-based model
was not an appropriate
system of remunerating
board members.
“It makes the assumption
that the work of a
community board member
is directly proportionate
to the number of people
that they represent and
fails to address the issues
for a place like the Banks
Peninsula,” he said.
Ms Richardson also
did not support the
population-based-model
for remuneration and said
she is stepping down after
nine years because she
wants to spend more time
with her family.
“My reason for standing
down is that I have done
three terms and I want to
spend time with my family
and grandson, which I have
not been able to do as much
as I would like to whilst
being on the board,” she
said.
Mr O’Donogue, who
can sometimes work 40-50
hours a week as a train
driver for KiwiRail, said he
would be stepping down
due to his commitments
on the community board
costing him 20 days of
annual leave a year.
Mr O’Donoghue
also said the current
remuneration rate was a
“barricade to democracy.”
“It is almost a realm
exclusively for the
independently wealthy or
semi-retired, which is not
representative of the whole
community,” he said.
Ms Richardson said if
board members were better
remunerated it would open
up the role to a wider range
of people.
“We need to look at the
remuneration model so we
can encourage the young
ones to come forward.”

Backing for
cruise ship
visits to
Akaroa
• By Louis Day
A LETTER in support of cruise
ships visiting Akaroa has been
signed by 330 people.
Akaroa has a population of just
over 600.
Akaroa businessman Darin
Rainbird who started the letter said
this meant the majority of Akaroa
was in support of cruise ships.
The letter was not only signed
by residents but business owners,
and people who work in the area
as well.
It has been sent to the city
council, Environment Canterbury,
the Banks Peninsula Community
Board and cruise lines to show the
community’s support for cruise
ships to continue visiting the harbour
town.
Mr Rainbird said the purpose
behind it was to get the true voice
of Akaroa out there.
Mr Rainbird said the Akaroa
Civic Trust and the Akaroa Ratepayers
and Residents Association
of had anti cruise ship agendas
that misrepresented the views of
Akaroa residents.
“The only voice that the powers
that be have heard has been
the negative minority, they have
constantly bombarded our civic
leaders and the cruise lines with
negative messages when the majority
of Akaroa actually wants them
here,” he said.
However, Akaroa Civic Trust
chairman Mike Norris denied that
they were against cruise ships.
“We are not anti cruise ships at
all, we are against the problems that
cruise ships create when they aren’t
properly managed, we are just calling
for better management and a
reduction of numbers,” he said.
Akaroa Ratepayers and Residents
Association president Harry Stronach
also refuted the comments
made by Mr Rainbird.
“We are not anti cruise ships, we
are just pro Akaroa,” he said.
Mr Stronach also said the letter
did not mean the majority of
Akaroa was in support of a large
number of cruise ships coming to
the area.
“My feeling and the feeling of our
members is that a large majority
of the people in Akaroa would like
to see a greatly reduced number of
cruise ships in Akaroa.”
Mr Rainbird challenged the trust
and residents association to start
their own letters to prove this was
the case.
Mr Norris and Mr Stronach told
the Bay Harbour News they would
not be doing this.
“That is a very childish game he
is starting to play,” said Mr Norris.
“I think that would be very
counterproductive, the worst
problem is the divisions this
cruise ship debate is causing in the
community,” said Mr Stronach.
SHORT-LIVED: Anchorage No 2 will no longer be the primary cruise ship anchorage point
following a two-week trial.
Liners to revert back to
harbour’s no 1 anchorage
• By Louis Day
ANCHORAGE NO 2 will
no longer be the primary
anchorage point for large
cruise ships in Akaroa.
Larger cruise ships
were originally moved
to anchorage No 2 after
concerns they were
disturbing the seabed at
anchorage No 1.
However, regional
harbourmaster Jim
Dilley said there was
no clear evidence that large
cruise ships were doing so after
a two-week trial at anchorage
No 2.
“It seems unlikely that we’d
revert to the trial position
of anchorage No 2 being the
primary large ship anchorage,
but it could still be used
on occasion, but usually
only on days when there
are two large ships,” he
said.
Mr Dilley insisted the
decision to move cruise
ships back to anchorage
No 1 had nothing to
do with tenders taking
43 minutes to reach
the Queen Elizabeth cruise
ship when they usually take 15
to 20 minutes to reach ships at
anchorage No 1.
Owner of the Akaroa Village
Jim Dilley
Inn and Akaroa Ice Creamery
Darren Angus said he watched
tenders struggle to reach the
Queen Elizabeth at anchorage
No 2 last Monday.
“There was a delay on getting
passengers on and off the ship
which meant the coaches stuck
in town even longer,” he said.
Mr Dilley said there was a
wide array of factors that cause
time difference between tender
trips.
“Tides, wind, the location
of where the cruise ship has
swung within the anchorage
spot, and the fact some ship’s
tenders travel faster than
others.”

Stolen firearms
sold to gangs
• By Anan Zaki
UNSECURED firearms
are falling into the hands of
methamphetamine dealing gangs.
Burglars are frequently targeting
rural homes in the hope of finding
firearms, then selling them on the
black market, police said.
Constable Blair Croucher said
the most commonly stolen firearms
are shotguns and .22 rifles – which
could fetch up to $3000 on the black
market.
“Unfortunately, they are also the
firearms types most favoured by
criminals because they are so easily
converted to a pistol length,” he said.
“Rural locations are targeted such
as farms or lifestyle blocks as they
usually have firearms either for
farming purposes or for recreational
hunting.”
Police said the burglaries have been
ongoing over the past six months, but
could not provide figures.
“If the firearms are not taken in
the initial burglary, offenders have
been known to return to the address
at a later date to target the gun safe
in order to steal the firearms,” Constable
Croucher said.
“There is a ready market for
stolen firearms in this country, and
police believe many of these stolen
weapons will end up in the hands
of organised crime gangs dealing in
methamphetamine.”
Dry ground poses injury risk
• By Louis Day
RELIEF IS under way for the
bone dry McCormacks Bay
sports field.
The city council has fixed the
broken irrigation system which
led to the field deteriorating over
the summer.
But the fix has come too late
for Sumner Rugby Football Club
which wanted to use the ground
for its pre-season training.
Rugby development officer
Riki Tahere was envious of
Ferrymead Bays FC’s luscious
training pitch at Barnett Park.
“If you were comparing apples
with apples, our one would be a
bit of a rotten one,” he said.
Mr Tahere said the
McCormacks Bay sports field
was dry and solid posing a
potential injury risk.
He suspected the field had
not been watered for six months
before city council completed
repairs of the irrigation system
and watered the fields last week.
However, city council manager
of community parks Al Hardy
said it was difficult to know
how long the issues with the
irrigation system had existed.
Mr Hardy said the field would
be included in the annual
sports field autumn renovation
programme that is scheduled to
start later this month.
Mr Tahere said the field was
currently not in any state to train
on.
“We can run on it but it is just
an injury waiting to happen,
whether it is soft tissue or a
concussion from the hard
ground,” Mr Tahere said.
Mr Tahere said the condition
of the field has been a major
disruption to their pre-season
with their season set to start at
the end of this month.
“As McCormacks Bay got
worse we were constantly
changing venues between South
Hagley and Malvern Park at
the last minute which has really
impacted our numbers.”
Mr Tahere said they
desperately needed their own

what we are up to.”

Health of dolphin a concern
• By Louis Day
ONE OF the country’s leading
dolphin experts spotted the
skinniest dolphin she has ever
seen outside the Lyttelton
Harbour on Monday.
University of Otago professor
of zoology Liz Slooten said the
state of the dolphin was a major
cause for concern.
“You can see

when normally

Liz Slooten
also on the side
of the dolphin
you can see its
ribs,” she said.
Prof Slooten, who has been
studying dolphins for 35 years,
said the poor condition of the
dolphin could be down to a
number of factors.
“Boat strike, pollution from
ships, one possibility is that
dolphin happened to be in the
wrong place while pile driving
was happening and it went deaf,
and a deaf dolphin is as good as a
dead dolphin.”
Prof Slooten said she would

Company releases the sound data

LPC strategic engagement
manager Phil de Joux said it
would be unfair to suggest the
condition of the dolphin was a
result of the construction of
the new cruise berth without
clear evidence.“We’ve worked
with some of New Zealand’s
leading experts from Cawthron
Institute, Blue Planet Marine
and DOC to develop ways to
minimise the potential impacts
and manage the risks. This is all
laid out in our 25-page marine

he hasn’t sung it or played in 39
years,” he said.
“And he played it here at Selwyn
Sounds for the first time in
39 years and everybody just went
off. It was such a bloody fantastic
moment.”
Lincoln businesses and
organisations were able to cash in
on the event.
“I know that Lincoln High
School had something like 60
campervans there, and they
would have around 1000 cars
parked,” Mr Parlane said.
“When you look at the sum,
that’s about $7000 for the high
school.”
The event was a team effort, he
said.
“We’re looking at a 140 volunteers
on the day, stage and crew of
about 30 people and another 60
artists and management and crew
coming in as well,” Mr Parlane
said.
Preparation is already under
way for next year’s event.
“We will look to be announcing
early July with a line-up. We’ve
got a few more signatures to put
on a few more pieces of paper,”
Mr Parlane said.

Artist’s former studio
likely to get grant
• By Louis Day
THE FORMER studio
of well-known artist Bill
Hammond could be set to
receive a $258,782 grant.
City council staff have
recommended the money
go towards renovating
Kilwinning Lodge in
Canterbury St, Lyttelton.
A decision will be made
today.
THe building was
significantly damaged
in the February 22, 2011,
earthquake.
Director of structural
engineering company
Structex Will Lomax
bought the lodge from
Hammond in December
2015.
THe top floor, which is
shrouded in rich Masonic
architecture and decor, will
be transformed into new
office space for Structex.
The bottom floor will be
made available for retail.
THe project is expected to
be completed within a year.
Restoration project
manager Monica
Beaumont said the building
HISTORIC: A city council grant could help renovate
artist Bill Hammond’s former studio.
would provide people with
a unique retail experience.
“THere is not a lot of
heritage space left in
Lyttelton and there is
certainly not a lot of
heritage commercial space
available,” she said.

Dark Star to close this month
THE DARK Star Ale house
and Café will close at the
end of the month.
Co-owner of the café
Martin Richardson previously
told the Bay Harbour
News they would consider
limited opening hours but
said this was no longer
possible.
“We have decided that
limited opening hours for
us is not going to be financially
viable, hence why we
are closing in March,” he
said.
Statutory approval for
the cafe building, the
equivalent of a building
and resource consent,
was obtained by a
previous owner through
emergency earthquake
legislation.
That approval expired
in April but was extended
to June 2021.
A petiton on change org
which called for the site’s
statutory building approval
to be extended “until such
time as new services are
built on the Godley House
site” received more than
3000 signatures and was
presented to the Banks
Peninsula Community
Board.
City council head of facilities
property and planning
Bruce Rendall said
they could not consider
extending the lease without
a formal proposal.
“The council continues
to be open to considering
a proposal to transfer the
lease to a new operator,
however, to date no new
proposal or operator has
been presented,” he said.
However, Mr
Richardson said it was
difficult to attract a new
business to occupy the site
with only two years left on
the lease.

Still Pedalling!
Needing to remember the
important things in life
I LOST THE race against time.
This term, Vittoria’s swimming
lessons are on a Monday.
We headed there as per
normal, she had a great time
as per normal. And then we
went to wash and change as
per normal.
Here my race began. I had
forgotten to restock the nappy
bag.
It was like a lead weight in
my gut realising that. Honestly,
it was like some kind of
nightmare – I’m sure other
parents will sympathise.
Or else they’re thinking I’m
some kind of idiot, lying to
themselves that they’ve never
done it. I know you have.
So I had to take a big risk;
put on Vittoria’s clothes and
race home to get a new nappy.
Racing against the possibility
that she would wet said
clothes, or worse, without any
idea of when that may or may
not happen.
Like I said, nightmare. So
I rushed us home, hoping
against hope.
I lost anyway. I got home
and she needed some fresh
clothes. A lesson to be learnt
on my part.
Well, after a bit of lightheartedness,
I need to touch
on something that has hit us
hard as a whānau.
Recently, my Nan, Vittoria’s
great-grandmother, Mary
Miller passed away at 91. The
funeral was held on her 92nd
birthday.
She was an amazing woman,
fierce, determined, sharp as a
tack and as equally at home
wearing the most elegant
clothes at high society events
as she was flinging out her
fishing line to haul in a catch
of blue cod wearing a man’s
flannel shirt.
Widowed young, my Nan
successfully raised six children
as a single mother in the 1950s.
Proper tough.
I am so glad that my daughter
and she could meet and that I
had her in my life for so long. I
dearly hope that I will be able to
teach Vittoria to be like her and
to love the heritage that my Nan
has given her.
Moe mai, moe mai rā I te
rangimarie e Nan.

Sumner batsmen fail to fire against Burnside
Sumner
Cricket Club
captain Dan
Vann reports
on his side’s
two-day clash
with Burnside
SUMNER HOSTED top of the
table Burnside at St Leonards
over the last two weekends.
On day one, Sumner were
asked to bat first and made a
reasonably solid and steady
start.
However, wickets fell around
overseas opener Tom Davie, who
was the mainstay of the innings
with his maiden century (102).
The only other major
contributor was fellow English
overseas player Tom McGeorge
(33).
The pair put on a partnership
of 79 to get Sumner through to a
respectable 241 all out.
In reply, Burnside came out
blazing with their opening
batsmen Alex Heenen (66) and
Tom Dunlop (65) putting on a
112-run opening stand at faster
than a run a ball.
Once they were dismissed,
wickets started to fall and
Sumner were back in the game.
At 196/7, the gamer was in the
SPORT
balance. Burnside ended the first
day at 210-7
On day two, Burnside made a
number of changes to their side,
which significantly strengthened
their team.
They made short work of the
small overnight deficit to take
a lead of 25 when they were
eventually dismissed for 266.
The wickets were shared, but
Nawid Mohammady was the best
of the bowlers, picking up 3-33.
Sumner then went about
trying to build a total that would
challenge the aggressive Burnside
side. Runs came at a steady rate
and at 85/2 things were looking
good. But wickets continued
to fall in steady succession and
Sumner’s innings ended with a
modest 149 all out.
Anton Smail (36) was the pick
of the batsmen, with four other
players getting starts but not
going on. Again, Burnside came
out all guns blazing and went
after the Sumner bowlers who
had no answer to the onslaught.
Burnside managed to run
down the total in just 16 overs
without losing a wicket. Again
both Burnside openers picked up
half centuries.
With two rounds to go,
Sumner remain in the middle of
the table and will look to bounce
back against East Shirley away
from home this week.
Sumner need to be a lot more
patient with the bat and build
partnerships if we want to make
match-winning totals.
Sumner will welcome back in
form batsmen Brett Taylor this
weekend who has just come off
a tonne and half century in the
round before last.
IN FORM: David Fitch won the 1500m and 800m at the
national masters track and field competition in Timaru at the
weekend.
Fitch
brings
home
gold
SUMNER RUNNING Club’s
David Fitch won the 1500m
and 800m at the national
masters track and field
competition in Timaru at the
weekend.
The 1500m was looking
to be a close battle until the
final 400m mark when Fitch
began pulling away to convincingly
win the masters 30-49 age
group and secure gold in the
40-44 age group.
Fitch managed to complete
the double on Sunday in the
800m after he made the decision
to lead from the gun and
secured the overall win in the
masters 30-49 age group and
another gold in the 40-44 age
group.
Fitch continues to demonstrate
his strength at almost
every distance he competes
in. His successful perfomance
at the national masters comes
after he took three golds at
the Canterbury masters in the
3000m, 1500m and 800m.

Adventure race to
finish in Akaroa
• By Louis Day
AKAROA WILL be the final
destination for one of the world’s
largest adventure races.
On Sunday, 250 competitors in
the GODZone Adventure Race
will start a seven-day journey
to navigate their way through a
600km course, which will stretch
throughout Canterbury and
finish in Akaroa. The location of
the start line will be announced
this week.
Said GODZone media manager
Margo Berryman: “It is the
largest in terms of team numbers
and the length of the race.”
Competitors from all over the
world will race in teams of four
and have to execute a range of
disciplines, such as mountain
biking, trekking, kayaking,
canoeing and pack-rafting.
The official welcome and
race briefing will be held at The
Gaiety in Akaroa on Saturday.
Ms Berryman said Canterbury
was the perfect location to host
the event.
“Canterbury was an obvious
location that we all knew we
would eventually end up going
to. It has an amazing landscape
and has an amazing adventure
background.”
The event is being welcomed
by the
Akaroa District Promotions
Society, which is made up of
a group of business operators
in the area. “An event the size
of GODZone has a significant
regional benefit with competitors
staying for to 10-15 days and
purchasing accommodation,
food, rental vehicles and
participating in sight-seeing
activities in the region,”
said executive officer Hollie
Hollander.

Strong results for Point Surf Team juniors
Point Surf Team secretary
Steve Tyro reports on how
the club’s juniors are going
WE HOPE you are all having
a busy summer surfing and
making the most of the warm
water.
This summer, the PST
juniors have ventured from
Mt Maunganui to Invercargill
in pursuit of waves and
competition.
At the halfway stage of the
season, here are the results and
destinations so far:
•Gisborne: A team of five,
consisting of Benji Lowen, Jack
Tyro, Ruby Armstrong, Holly
Campbell and Amelie Wink,
Steve’s Surf Report
went to the NZ primary school
surfing champs where the team
finished a credible fourth.
•Christchurch: Jack won the
year 7 and year 8 South Island
primary school championship
titles with Amelie Clark and
Tessa Langman making the finals
of the year 6 and under girls
event in their very first contest.
•Westport: We hit the trifecta
at the first South Island Grom
Series with Holly taking the win,
Amelie in second, and Ruby
third in the under-14 girls. Benji
also chimed in with third in the
under-12 boys.
•Taranaki: At the NZ surfing
nationals, Amelie Wink was
third in the women’s open SUP
surf division – not bad for a
13-year-old girl in the adults
division. We have great hopes
Amelie making the NZ team
in the near future. Also at the
nationals, PST alumni Manu
Schafer won the men’s over 40
event.
•Dunedin: In event two in
the South Island Grom Series,
Amelie, Jack and Benji were
second in there divisions.
•Mt Maunganui: In the
Billabong Grom Series, Jack
finished fifth (more than 40
competitors were in his age
group).
•Curio Bay: In event three of
the South Island Grom Series,
Holly and Amelie made the finals
and Ruby the semis.
Next weekend will see the
return of the Duke Festival of
Surfing to New Brighton. More
than 200 competitors from
around the country will be
competing. Sumner longboarders
and PST will both have a large
number of people entering. The
competition features both junior
shortboarding and open and age
group longboarding through to
over 60s. PST’s Luke O’Neil (2018
open longboard champ), Brittany
Andrews (2018 women’s logger
champ) and Jack Tyro (2018
under-12 champ) will be all hoping
to emulate last year’s winning
results at the festival.
If you are interested in joining
PST, come to a training at
Hardwicke St, Sumner, on a
Tuesday and at Taylors Mistake
on the weekends. We would also
like to point out it’s not all about
contests. For a lot of our junior
members, surfing with other kids
in their area on a regular basis is
where they get there surf stoke. \

9 March - 3 April 2019
And then we fell in love with them...
The animals painted in this exhibition are from our
farm. Booboo, the Highland cow, being the main
subject, because of her sweet nature (and the fact
that she is my favourite). From my experience as
a beginner farmer and animal lover, I believe early
influence on both human and animal can be similarly profound. However I am a realist regarding
the consumption of animals. I don’t eat meat – so perhaps I have an unusual perspective.
Booboo, eerily painted in her majestic beauty, surrounded and almost
hidden by the reflective surface of the black mirror- like background, the
viewer too is captured in the reflective surface, a comment on human
impact on animals. This Plato quote comes to mind and challenges our
thoughts…
‘Is there something distinctive about humanity that tries to justify the
idea that humans deserve moral status, but non - humans do not?’ -
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/moral-animal/
Within this body of work I’m celebrating the beauty within every
creature. Real moments captured are a reminder of an innocence
untainted by society. In contrast to the black paintings are some
pure white images of children, along with animals, and their
imaginary adventures. This emphasises the preciousness of
children and their innate connection with nature.

Ease of living, intelligent design and
impeccable taste are showcased at this
pristine three-bedroom home that captures
expansive hillside views and is just footsteps
from the waters edge.
Raised ceilings and polished concrete
floors are just a couple of the alluring features
to this eye-pleasing property which will have
immense appeal with those who appreciate
contemporary style.
The modern floor plan promotes
comfortable family living, and the home’s
exceptional position ensures it soaks up
plenty of sunshine while also escaping the
easterly.
Everyday living revolves around the
exquisite kitchen with butler’s pantry that
features stainless steel finishes and dark
cabinetry which contrast superbly against
the crisp white walls. The dining area and
both lounges all interact effortlessly, with the
casual living space enjoying a pull-out bar,
study nook and an extensive view across to
Redcliffs Park.
Numerous sliding doors off the living areas
introduce abundant natural light into the
home and provide a connection out to the
substantial kwila deck and low-maintenance
garden which ensures you can spend your
downtime with your feet up.
The single-level layout has been thoughtfully
arranged and places the master suite with
walk-in wardrobe and ensuite at one end of
the home while the remaining two bedrooms
share a light and bright family bathroom.
Warmth is assured courtesy of two heat
pumps, a gas fire, partial underfloor heating
and double glazing while further notable
features include surround sound, a vacuum
system and attic storage.
The location is equally as appealing with
a short stroll leading you to the coastal
pathway, the waterfront and Redcliffs Shops
and local amenities.
This is an easy care lock up and leave
property that offers outstanding levels
of comfort and defines the concept of
modern living. Our owners are downsizing,
have purchased and are selling with high
motivation. Resist delay - phone now.

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand
has b en a proached in a bid to
fina ly repair the potholes in New
Brighton’s Hawke St car park.
Coastal-Burw od Ward city
counci lor David East wants
WorkSafe to pre sure the car
park’s private owners into
repairing the potholes which are
a “trip and vehicle” hazard.
WorkSafe chief inspector
a se sment southern Da ren
Handforth said it may be able to
take action under the Health and
Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a
person conducting a busine s or
undertaking.”
Mr Handforth said WorkSafe
is aware of the concerns raised by
Cr East abou the car park.
“WorkSafe has completed
an a se sment visi to the site
and is engaging with the owner
to advise them that it is their
responsibility to manage their
risks a propriately.”
Different parts of the car park
are owned by various people
and the Coastal-Burw od
Community Board recently
wrote to them about its concerns
around health and safety.
Cr East said the bi gest i sue
in the past has b en ge ting in
touch with the landlords and
owners and ge ting them to
agr e to anything. “The board
a preciates that multi-ownership
of the parking space may present
a difficulty in co-ordinating
repair/resurfacing but felt obliged
to pa s these concerns onto you,”
said the le ter.
One reply has b en received so
far from an owner who is wi ling
to discu s the i sue. However, a l
the owners would have to agr e
to undertake work.
Cr East said there had b en
a “number of incidences” in
the car park of people injuring
themselves which had gone
unreported.
“I’ve always though that it
has b en quite amazing that we
haven’t had any serious a cidents
or senior citizens perhaps
tri ping in those potholes and
doing themselve some damage.”
He is confiden the new
a proach wi l bring results.
“I think the WorkSafe
involvement may prove to be the
lever that we are l oking for.”

THE PAPANUI-I nes
Community Board has taken the
rare step of starting a petition
to figh the city council over
funding.
Signatures are being co lected
in a bid to get funding for a community
facility in Shirley.
It comes after the city council
removed funding for the centre
pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the
intersection with Hi ls Rd. This
was the site of the former community
centre, which was badly
damaged in the February 2,
20 1, earthquake.
The removal o funding
prompted community board
chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten
to stand down, citing it as her “die
in the ditch” project.
Ms Jone said the board’s role
is to represen the community,
and by gathering signatures from
residents, it was fulfi ling that
role.
“One of the roles of a community
board is to represent and act
as advocate for the interests of its
community and this is what we
are doing. The LTP and a nual
plans are a l about lo bying the
council.”

Cave Rock
Apartments’
owners
expect EQC
sign-off
this week
• By Sarla Donovan
THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave
Rock Apartments ar expecting the
Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off
on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.
Body corporate chairman Mike
White said the group had gone
into mediation with IAG and EQC
on February 20, and signed off
on a deal with IAG on February
2 – coincidenta ly seven years
to the day after the February 2,
20 1, earthquake. However, they
are waiting for EQC to sign the
agr ement.
“Given that EQC actua ly drafted
the agr ement, there’ l be no
problem with them doing that.”
The apartment suffered damage
in the February and June, 20 1,
earthquakes and were demolished in
late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the
difference betw en indemnity value,
$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,
$16 million, was rejected by the body
corporate.
The mediation agr ement
prevented Mr White from disclosing
the se tlement amount, but he said it
involved the two parties paying “a bit
more money than they’d wanted to
earlier.”

A WOOLSTON butcher proved
to be a cut above the rest in an
international competition.
New World Fe ry Rd butcher
Jeremy Garth and his team, the
Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently
came second a the World
Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern
Ireland.
It was the firs time Mr Garth
had competed in the cha lenge
and he was “rea ly proud” of
how the team performed.
“We produced some top quality
products and came away
with a g od result so we’re very
ha py,” he said.
The preparation for this year’s
World Butchers’ Cha lenge was
intense as the team members
met in Auckland every two
months for lengthy w ekend
practices.
Mr Garth, who has b en a
butcher for 14 years, said the
competition brought back his
pa sion for the job.
“Doing a l thi stuff and
m eting new people, s eing new
ideas, it just brings that flair
back for you,” he said.
Mr Garth hopes to own a
butcher shop of his own someday
but says for now he wi l focus
on ge ting mor experience
and on the 2020 cha lenge.
“In two years’ time, we’ l be
going back to try and win the
title,” he said.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile
traders acro s the districts could
be l oming.
However, the public has li tle
interest in having input into the
i sue.
Only eight submi sions were
received for a potential bylaw
aimed at regulating commercial
activities in public places.
The district council wi l be
holding a hearing for the Public
Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial
Activities and Events in
Public Places.
A hearing i scheduled to be
held on Thursday.
The bylaw comes as an increasing
number of mobile traders
are s eking to operate in Selwyn,
especia ly during the summer
months.
In the past year, the district
council has received five inquiries
about se ting up a mobile busine s
on private or public land.
A report said there are two
str et operators in Darfield, a
coff e cart is parked beside the
railway in Ro leston, and a pi za
cart visits Lincoln w ekly betw en
September-May along with a Thai
f od truck.

Pupils learn about role of war horses
GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils
have taken a step back in time,
s eing first hand what men and
horses l oked like during war.
The New Zealand Mounted
Rifles Charitable Trust president
Mark A pleton and member
Mike Donaldson t ok their
horses to the sch ol on Monday,
in a bid to educate pupils on the
sacrifice their ancestors made in
World War 1 and World War 2.
Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson
a rived a the sch ol dre sed
in World War 1 uniforms while
their horses Tommy and Kruze
wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated
to the trust.
The presentation is a prelude
to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve
Management Commi t e’s
upcoming Anzac Day service.
As a tribute to those who
served, members of the trust wi l
ride horseback to the service.
Mr A pleton said it was
important children were
educated on what soldiers
wen through during World
War 1 and World War 2.
But he said the presentation
didn’t go into t o much detail
and was more of a “show and
te l” to make them aware of what
the soldiers l oked like.
Children were shown the type
of kits horses were required to
wear in the war.

AN U PER Ri carton butcher
has proven himself to be a cut
above his Au sie rivals at an
international competition.
Elite Meats owner Corey
Winder was named in the a l
star team a the World Butchers’
Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.
Mr Winder and his team, the
Pure South Sharp Blacks, which
includes W olston butcher
Jeremy Garth, finished second
in the competition.
He said the cha lenge started
as a “transtasman test match”
seven years ago.
The preparation for this
year’s World Butchers’ Challenge
was intense as the team
members met in Auckland
every two months for lengthy
w ekend practices. Mr Winder
said coming second against 1
other countries was a “fantastic”
result.
“To get second behind Ireland
was a huge achievement and to
be ahead of Australia is an
even bi ger thing for us,” he
said.
But Mr Winder admires the
Australian team.
“Those guys over there
[Australia] are on top of their
game, they do a g od job,” he
said.
“And it just showcases that
New Zealand has got some
of the best butchers in the
world,” he said.
Mr Winder has b en a butcher
since the age of 19.

THE HALSWE L-Hornby-
Ri carton Community Board
has b en given the gr en ligh to
o pose the pla ned qua ry near
Templeton.
Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the
board on Thursday it had the okay
from the city council to make a
submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies
for a resource consen to create a
qua ry.
Board chairman Mike Mora
told Western News the submi sion
would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s
plan.
“You can just about guarant e
it . because we [the community
board] don’t believe qua ries
should be so close to residential
areas,” he said.
Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if
the city council would endorse the
board’ submi sion.
“I’d like to think so because the
city council has had their eyes
open as we l ove recent years over
the crysta line silica risk,” he said.
Mr Mora said the community
board wi l be “representing and
advocating” for the Templeton
community.
