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 


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.

get in touch 

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.

Fire rages, homes at risk 

Call to replace dangerous steps 


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 

Andrew 

Rutledge 

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 

DANGER: Travellers using the wharf steps at Diamond Harbour have to jump to board boats. 

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.

STAY OR GO: The Banks Peninsula Community Board – which is made up of 

Andrew Turner, Felix Dawson, Janis Haley, Jed O’Donoghue, John McLister, Pam 

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 


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 


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 


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

Health of dolphin a concern 


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 

behind the head 

when normally 

you a see a 

smooth straight 

line, you don’t 

usually see such a 

strong neckline, 

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 

have a better idea of the impact 

pile driving for the new cruise 

berth was having on Hector’s

Company releases the sound data 

from their land-based piling next 

month. 

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 

mammal management plan,” he 

said.

Selwyn Sounds 

Local 

News 

Now 


PARTY TIME: Thousands turned out for Selwyn Sounds. 

Rock music 

festival packs 

them in again 

• By Anan Zaki 

LINCOLN WAS rocking 

on Saturday as 8800 people 

descended there for 

the annual Selwyn Sounds 

concert. 

Festival organiser David Parlane 

said the event was “fantastic” 

with no issues or queuing or issues 

with crowd behaviour. 

“It [attendance] was slightly 

down from last year [10,000], 

but not a great deal down,” Mr 

Parlane said. 

Long queues at the bar, which 

plagued last year’s event were 

non-existent this year, he said. 

The highlight of the event 

was Kiwi rock icon Jon Stevens 

performing, Mr Parlane said. 

“He put out a hit record 39 

years ago called Montego Bay, 

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 


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. 

ACTION: 

Competitors 

navigate 

their way

in the 

GODZone 

Adventure 

Race last 

year. 

Adventure race to 

finish in Akaroa 


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. \

about PST, call 027 200 0373.

Beautiful Beasts 

Lisa Grennell 

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.”

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

However, the public has li tle 

interest in having input into the

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

Pupils learn about role of war horses 

GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils

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

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-

Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the 

board on Thursday it had the okay 

from the city council to make a

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.
