Beach access one step further forward<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

THE FIRST set of permanent<br />

access steps between the<br />

planned Coastal Pathway<br />

and Sumner beach have been<br />

completed.<br />

Work on the second steps<br />

started last week.<br />

City council transport<br />

planning and delivery manager<br />

Lynette Ellis said work on the<br />

4m-wide Coastal Pathway<br />

would start this month once the<br />

rock revetment wall had been<br />

completed.<br />

One crew is currently<br />

working on the Shag Rock<br />

end of the rock revetment<br />

wall towards Gollans Point,<br />

and another crew is working<br />

from the Sumner Surf<br />

Lifesaving Club towards the<br />

other crew.<br />

The rock revetment wall<br />

has been designed to provide<br />

coastal protection to Main Rd,<br />

as well as to support the Coastal<br />

Pathway which will run along<br />

the top.<br />

Big changes<br />

looming<br />

for Banks<br />

Peninsula<br />

Community<br />

Board<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

WHOLESALE changes loom for<br />

the Banks Peninsula Community<br />

Board.<br />

Five members of the board may<br />

not stand in October’s local body<br />

elections due to concerns over the<br />

money board members receive<br />

and the time pressures they face.<br />

Chairwoman Pam Richardson,<br />

and members Jed O’Donoghue,<br />

Janis Haley and John McLister<br />

told <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News they<br />

are unlikely to run in the next<br />

election, while Felix Dawson said<br />

he has not made a commitment to<br />

run yet.<br />

Tori Peden said she plans to<br />

run again while newly-appointed<br />

deputy chairman Tyrone Fields<br />

said he would run if he was<br />

selected.<br />

The pay rates for the mayor,<br />

city councillors and community<br />

board members are currently set<br />

by the Remuneration Authority<br />

using a population-based<br />

model, so boards in areas with<br />

bigger populations get better<br />

remuneration.<br />

from the editor’s desk<br />

THE DECKS look like they might be<br />

cleared on the Banks Peninsula Community<br />

Board (see page 1).<br />

I’m not surprised why. It comes down<br />

to money and time. There have been<br />

rumblings on the board for sometime about<br />

the remuneration. And that now looks like it will bite at October’s<br />

local body elections.<br />

Most members say they won’t stand or are unlikely to. I<br />

sympathise with them. Being a city councillor or community<br />

board member is a big commitment. Councillors get paid plenty;<br />

it should be a full-time job.<br />

But for a community board member it is a different story. You<br />

need another source of income to pay the bills.<br />

The sooner the Remuneration Authority sorts the Banks<br />

Peninsula stuff the better.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Call to replace dangerous steps<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

RESIDENTS ARE calling for<br />

a pontoon at the Diamond<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> wharf.<br />

The wharf currently has a set<br />

of steps where people are picked<br />

up from.<br />

Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> Community<br />

Association chairman<br />

Richard Suggate said these steps<br />

were dangerous and had resulted<br />

in people falling into the water<br />

on several occasions.<br />

“When the boat<br />

docks there during<br />

a high swell<br />

the rear end of the<br />

boat goes in and<br />

Andrew<br />

Rutledge<br />

out leaving a gap<br />

that people have<br />

to jump across, if<br />

you are elderly or<br />

not able-bodied it can be a real<br />

problem,” he said.<br />

City council head of parks Andrew<br />

Rutledge said planning for<br />

major capital improvements to<br />

the wharf were scheduled to start<br />

this year which would be followed<br />

by public and stakeholder<br />

consultation.<br />

Mr Suggate said it was vital a<br />

pontoon was part of the planned<br />

renovation.<br />

“With a pontoon like they have<br />

DANGER: Travellers using the wharf steps at Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> have to jump to board boats.<br />

in Lyttelton, the boat is hard<br />

against the flat platform.”<br />

Park rangers were at the wharf<br />

last week on Wednesday and<br />

Thursday to carry out repairs to<br />

a loose handrail.<br />

Mr Rutledge said further<br />

maintenance would be done to<br />

the wharf towards the end of this<br />

month.<br />

“General maintenance,<br />

including ‘wear and tear’ occurs<br />

on all marine structures,<br />

particularly during higher use<br />

summer months. A planned<br />

maintenance work programme<br />

is due to start on <strong>March</strong> 25,” he<br />

said.<br />

In Brief<br />

SUMNER RD OPENING<br />

The road linking Sumner to<br />

Lyttelton will reopen on <strong>March</strong> 29.<br />

Contractors have spent the past<br />

two-and-a-half years working to<br />

reinstate Sumner Rd, which has<br />

been closed to traffic since tonnes of<br />

rock came tumbling down onto it<br />

from the surrounding cliffs during<br />

the February 22, 2011, earthquake.<br />

PUMP STATION PROJECT<br />

Work is under way on a new<br />

pump station at Simeon Quay as<br />

part of a $53 million project to<br />

upgrade wastewater services in<br />

the Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong> area. The<br />

new pump station will connect to<br />

two under water pipelines which<br />

have been built to carry untreated<br />

wastewater from the Governors<br />

<strong>Bay</strong> and Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> to<br />

Lyttelton.<br />

HISTORIC PHARMACY<br />

The old pharmacy building on<br />

Rue Lavaud in Akaroa is unlikely<br />

to receive city council funding<br />

for its remediation. The owners<br />

of the historic building applied<br />

for funding from the social,<br />

community development and<br />

housing committee. However,<br />

city council staff recommended<br />

the application be rejected. The<br />

committee is due to make its<br />

decision on the funding today.<br />

STAY OR GO: The Banks Peninsula Community Board – which is made up of<br />

Andrew Turner, Felix Dawson, Janis Haley, Jed O’Donoghue, John McLister, Pam<br />

Richardson, Tori Peden and Tyrone Fields – may have some new faces after the<br />

local body elections in October.<br />

Board changes loom<br />

•From page 1<br />

Banks Peninsula board<br />

members – excluding the<br />

chair, deputy chair and city<br />

councillors – receive $9670<br />

a year.<br />

That is less than half the<br />

$24,098 paid to Halswell-<br />

Hornby-Riccarton<br />

Community Board<br />

members.<br />

Ms Richardson is paid<br />

$19,342, while Halswell-<br />

Hornby-Riccarton<br />

chairman Mike Mora is<br />

paid $48,196.<br />

City council secretary<br />

Jo Daly said the<br />

Remuneration Authority<br />

has indicated it would be<br />

taking a new approach<br />

following the local body<br />

elections this year.<br />

However, Remuneration<br />

Authority director Mike<br />

Kunz said no decisions<br />

regarding the remuneration<br />

of community board<br />

members had been made<br />

yet.<br />

Rev McLister said he will<br />

not be run again due to the<br />

lack of remuneration for<br />

members.<br />

“It is simply the wrong<br />

mechanism to judge<br />

what a Banks Peninsula<br />

Community Board<br />

member has to do. We<br />

have big problems, we are<br />

bigger than the city and we<br />

have to travel more than<br />

anyone else,” Rev McLister<br />

said.<br />

Deputy mayor and<br />

Banks Peninsula councillor<br />

Andrew Turner agreed the<br />

population-based model<br />

was not an appropriate<br />

system of remunerating<br />

board members.<br />

“It makes the assumption<br />

that the work of a<br />

community board member<br />

is directly proportionate<br />

to the number of people<br />

that they represent and<br />

fails to address the issues<br />

for a place like the Banks<br />

Peninsula,” he said.<br />

Ms Richardson also<br />

did not support the<br />

population-based-model<br />

for remuneration and said<br />

she is stepping down after<br />

nine years because she<br />

wants to spend more time<br />

with her family.<br />

“My reason for standing<br />

down is that I have done<br />

three terms and I want to<br />

spend time with my family<br />

and grandson, which I have<br />

not been able to do as much<br />

as I would like to whilst<br />

being on the board,” she<br />

said.<br />

Mr O’Donogue, who<br />

can sometimes work 40-50<br />

hours a week as a train<br />

driver for KiwiRail, said he<br />

would be stepping down<br />

due to his commitments<br />

on the community board<br />

costing him 20 days of<br />

annual leave a year.<br />

Mr O’Donoghue<br />

also said the current<br />

remuneration rate was a<br />

“barricade to democracy.”<br />

“It is almost a realm<br />

exclusively for the<br />

independently wealthy or<br />

semi-retired, which is not<br />

representative of the whole<br />

community,” he said.<br />

Ms Richardson said if<br />

board members were better<br />

remunerated it would open<br />

up the role to a wider range<br />

of people.<br />

“We need to look at the<br />

remuneration model so we<br />

can encourage the young<br />

ones to come forward.”<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Backing for<br />

cruise ship<br />

visits to<br />

Akaroa<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

A LETTER in support of cruise<br />

ships visiting Akaroa has been<br />

signed by 330 people.<br />

Akaroa has a population of just<br />

over 600.<br />

Akaroa businessman Darin<br />

Rainbird who started the letter said<br />

this meant the majority of Akaroa<br />

was in support of cruise ships.<br />

The letter was not only signed<br />

by residents but business owners,<br />

and people who work in the area<br />

as well.<br />

It has been sent to the city<br />

council, Environment Canterbury,<br />

the Banks Peninsula Community<br />

Board and cruise lines to show the<br />

community’s support for cruise<br />

ships to continue visiting the harbour<br />

town.<br />

Mr Rainbird said the purpose<br />

behind it was to get the true voice<br />

of Akaroa out there.<br />

Mr Rainbird said the Akaroa<br />

Civic Trust and the Akaroa Ratepayers<br />

and Residents Association<br />

of had anti cruise ship agendas<br />

that misrepresented the views of<br />

Akaroa residents.<br />

“The only voice that the powers<br />

that be have heard has been<br />

the negative minority, they have<br />

constantly bombarded our civic<br />

leaders and the cruise lines with<br />

negative messages when the majority<br />

of Akaroa actually wants them<br />

here,” he said.<br />

However, Akaroa Civic Trust<br />

chairman Mike Norris denied that<br />

they were against cruise ships.<br />

“We are not anti cruise ships at<br />

all, we are against the problems that<br />

cruise ships create when they aren’t<br />

properly managed, we are just calling<br />

for better management and a<br />

reduction of numbers,” he said.<br />

Akaroa Ratepayers and Residents<br />

Association president Harry Stronach<br />

also refuted the comments<br />

made by Mr Rainbird.<br />

“We are not anti cruise ships, we<br />

are just pro Akaroa,” he said.<br />

Mr Stronach also said the letter<br />

did not mean the majority of<br />

Akaroa was in support of a large<br />

number of cruise ships coming to<br />

the area.<br />

“My feeling and the feeling of our<br />

members is that a large majority<br />

of the people in Akaroa would like<br />

to see a greatly reduced number of<br />

cruise ships in Akaroa.”<br />

Mr Rainbird challenged the trust<br />

and residents association to start<br />

their own letters to prove this was<br />

the case.<br />

Mr Norris and Mr Stronach told<br />

the <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News they would<br />

not be doing this.<br />

“That is a very childish game he<br />

is starting to play,” said Mr Norris.<br />

“I think that would be very<br />

counterproductive, the worst<br />

problem is the divisions this<br />

cruise ship debate is causing in the<br />

community,” said Mr Stronach.<br />

SHORT-LIVED: Anchorage No 2 will no longer be the primary cruise ship anchorage point<br />

following a two-week trial.<br />

Liners to revert back to<br />

harbour’s no 1 anchorage<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

ANCHORAGE NO 2 will<br />

no longer be the primary<br />

anchorage point for large<br />

cruise ships in Akaroa.<br />

Larger cruise ships<br />

were originally moved<br />

to anchorage No 2 after<br />

concerns they were<br />

disturbing the seabed at<br />

anchorage No 1.<br />

However, regional<br />

harbourmaster Jim<br />

Dilley said there was<br />

no clear evidence that large<br />

cruise ships were doing so after<br />

a two-week trial at anchorage<br />

No 2.<br />

“It seems unlikely that we’d<br />

revert to the trial position<br />

of anchorage No 2 being the<br />

primary large ship anchorage,<br />

but it could still be used<br />

on occasion, but usually<br />

only on days when there<br />

are two large ships,” he<br />

said.<br />

Mr Dilley insisted the<br />

decision to move cruise<br />

ships back to anchorage<br />

No 1 had nothing to<br />

do with tenders taking<br />

43 minutes to reach<br />

the Queen Elizabeth cruise<br />

ship when they usually take 15<br />

to 20 minutes to reach ships at<br />

anchorage No 1.<br />

Owner of the Akaroa Village<br />

Jim Dilley<br />

Inn and Akaroa Ice Creamery<br />

Darren Angus said he watched<br />

tenders struggle to reach the<br />

Queen Elizabeth at anchorage<br />

No 2 last Monday.<br />

“There was a delay on getting<br />

passengers on and off the ship<br />

which meant the coaches stuck<br />

in town even longer,” he said.<br />

Mr Dilley said there was a<br />

wide array of factors that cause<br />

time difference between tender<br />

trips.<br />

“Tides, wind, the location<br />

of where the cruise ship has<br />

swung within the anchorage<br />

spot, and the fact some ship’s<br />

tenders travel faster than<br />

others.”<br />

Stolen firearms<br />

sold to gangs<br />

• By Anan Zaki<br />

UNSECURED firearms<br />

are falling into the hands of<br />

methamphetamine dealing gangs.<br />

Burglars are frequently targeting<br />

rural homes in the hope of finding<br />

firearms, then selling them on the<br />

black market, police said.<br />

Constable Blair Croucher said<br />

the most commonly stolen firearms<br />

are shotguns and .22 rifles – which<br />

could fetch up to $3000 on the black<br />

market.<br />

“Unfortunately, they are also the<br />

firearms types most favoured by<br />

criminals because they are so easily<br />

converted to a pistol length,” he said.<br />

“Rural locations are targeted such<br />

as farms or lifestyle blocks as they<br />

usually have firearms either for<br />

farming purposes or for recreational<br />

hunting.”<br />

Police said the burglaries have been<br />

ongoing over the past six months, but<br />

could not provide figures.<br />

“If the firearms are not taken in<br />

the initial burglary, offenders have<br />

been known to return to the address<br />

at a later date to target the gun safe<br />

in order to steal the firearms,” Constable<br />

Croucher said.<br />

“There is a ready market for<br />

stolen firearms in this country, and<br />

police believe many of these stolen<br />

weapons will end up in the hands<br />

of organised crime gangs dealing in<br />

methamphetamine.”<br />

Dry ground poses injury risk<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

RELIEF IS under way for the<br />

bone dry McCormacks <strong>Bay</strong><br />

sports field.<br />

The city council has fixed the<br />

broken irrigation system which<br />

led to the field deteriorating over<br />

the summer.<br />

But the fix has come too late<br />

for Sumner Rugby Football Club<br />

which wanted to use the ground<br />

for its pre-season training.<br />

Rugby development officer<br />

Riki Tahere was envious of<br />

Ferrymead <strong>Bay</strong>s FC’s luscious<br />

training pitch at Barnett Park.<br />

“If you were comparing apples<br />

with apples, our one would be a<br />

bit of a rotten one,” he said.<br />

Mr Tahere said the<br />

McCormacks <strong>Bay</strong> sports field<br />

was dry and solid posing a<br />

potential injury risk.<br />

He suspected the field had<br />

not been watered for six months<br />

before city council completed<br />

repairs of the irrigation system<br />

and watered the fields last week.<br />

However, city council manager<br />

of community parks Al Hardy<br />

said it was difficult to know<br />

how long the issues with the<br />

irrigation system had existed.<br />

Mr Hardy said the field would<br />

be included in the annual<br />

sports field autumn renovation<br />

programme that is scheduled to<br />

start later this month.<br />

Mr Tahere said the field was<br />

currently not in any state to train<br />

on.<br />

“We can run on it but it is just<br />

an injury waiting to happen,<br />

whether it is soft tissue or a<br />

concussion from the hard<br />

ground,” Mr Tahere said.<br />

Mr Tahere said the condition<br />

of the field has been a major<br />

disruption to their pre-season<br />

with their season set to start at<br />

the end of this month.<br />

“As McCormacks <strong>Bay</strong> got<br />

worse we were constantly<br />

changing venues between South<br />

Hagley and Malvern Park at<br />

the last minute which has really<br />

impacted our numbers.”<br />

Mr Tahere said they<br />

desperately needed their own<br />

green Barnett<br />

Park (above)<br />

the grass is dry<br />

and brown, and<br />

the ground is<br />

hard.<br />

training ground.<br />

“We want to get into our<br />

tactical stuff and we don’t want<br />

too many prying eyes seeing<br />

what we are up to.”<br />

The club could also be without<br />

a home ground come the start of<br />

the season with St Leonards Park<br />

suffering a considerable amount<br />

of damage over the course of the<br />

cricket season.<br />

Health of dolphin a concern<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

ONE OF the country’s leading<br />

dolphin experts spotted the<br />

skinniest dolphin she has ever<br />

seen outside the Lyttelton<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> on Monday.<br />

University of Otago professor<br />

of zoology Liz Slooten said the<br />

state of the dolphin was a major<br />

cause for concern.<br />

“You can see<br />

behind the head<br />

when normally<br />

you a see a<br />

smooth straight<br />

line, you don’t<br />

usually see such a<br />

strong neckline,<br />

Liz Slooten<br />

also on the side<br />

of the dolphin<br />

you can see its<br />

ribs,” she said.<br />

Prof Slooten, who has been<br />

studying dolphins for 35 years,<br />

said the poor condition of the<br />

dolphin could be down to a<br />

number of factors.<br />

“Boat strike, pollution from<br />

ships, one possibility is that<br />

dolphin happened to be in the<br />

wrong place while pile driving<br />

was happening and it went deaf,<br />

and a deaf dolphin is as good as a<br />

dead dolphin.”<br />

Prof Slooten said she would<br />

have a better idea of the impact<br />

pile driving for the new cruise<br />

berth was having on Hector’s<br />

CONCERN: University of Otago professor of zoology Liz<br />

Slooten said this was the skinniest dolphin she had seen in her<br />

35-year career.<br />

dolphins once the Lyttelton Port<br />

Company releases the sound data<br />

from their land-based piling next<br />

month.<br />

LPC strategic engagement<br />

manager Phil de Joux said it<br />

would be unfair to suggest the<br />

condition of the dolphin was a<br />

result of the construction of<br />

the new cruise berth without<br />

clear evidence.“We’ve worked<br />

with some of New Zealand’s<br />

leading experts from Cawthron<br />

Institute, Blue Planet Marine<br />

and DOC to develop ways to<br />

minimise the potential impacts<br />

and manage the risks. This is all<br />

laid out in our 25-page marine<br />

mammal management plan,” he<br />

said.<br />

Selwyn Sounds<br />

Local<br />

News<br />

Now<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

PARTY TIME: Thousands turned out for Selwyn Sounds.<br />

Rock music<br />

festival packs<br />

them in again<br />

• By Anan Zaki<br />

LINCOLN WAS rocking<br />

on Saturday as 8800 people<br />

descended there for<br />

the annual Selwyn Sounds<br />

concert.<br />

Festival organiser David Parlane<br />

said the event was “fantastic”<br />

with no issues or queuing or issues<br />

with crowd behaviour.<br />

“It [attendance] was slightly<br />

down from last year [10,000],<br />

but not a great deal down,” Mr<br />

Parlane said.<br />

Long queues at the bar, which<br />

plagued last year’s event were<br />

non-existent this year, he said.<br />

The highlight of the event<br />

was Kiwi rock icon Jon Stevens<br />

performing, Mr Parlane said.<br />

“He put out a hit record 39<br />

years ago called Montego <strong>Bay</strong>,<br />

he hasn’t sung it or played in 39<br />

years,” he said.<br />

“And he played it here at Selwyn<br />

Sounds for the first time in<br />

39 years and everybody just went<br />

off. It was such a bloody fantastic<br />

moment.”<br />

Lincoln businesses and<br />

organisations were able to cash in<br />

on the event.<br />

“I know that Lincoln High<br />

School had something like 60<br />

campervans there, and they<br />

would have around 1000 cars<br />

parked,” Mr Parlane said.<br />

“When you look at the sum,<br />

that’s about $7000 for the high<br />

school.”<br />

The event was a team effort, he<br />

said.<br />

“We’re looking at a 140 volunteers<br />

on the day, stage and crew of<br />

about 30 people and another 60<br />

artists and management and crew<br />

coming in as well,” Mr Parlane<br />

said.<br />

Preparation is already under<br />

way for next year’s event.<br />

“We will look to be announcing<br />

early July with a line-up. We’ve<br />

got a few more signatures to put<br />

on a few more pieces of paper,”<br />

Mr Parlane said.<br />

Artist’s former studio<br />

likely to get grant<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

THE FORMER studio<br />

of well-known artist Bill<br />

Hammond could be set to<br />

receive a $258,782 grant.<br />

City council staff have<br />

recommended the money<br />

go towards renovating<br />

Kilwinning Lodge in<br />

Canterbury St, Lyttelton.<br />

A decision will be made<br />

today.<br />

THe building was<br />

significantly damaged<br />

in the February 22, 2011,<br />

earthquake.<br />

Director of structural<br />

engineering company<br />

Structex Will Lomax<br />

bought the lodge from<br />

Hammond in December<br />

2015.<br />

THe top floor, which is<br />

shrouded in rich Masonic<br />

architecture and decor, will<br />

be transformed into new<br />

office space for Structex.<br />

The bottom floor will be<br />

made available for retail.<br />

THe project is expected to<br />

be completed within a year.<br />

Restoration project<br />

manager Monica<br />

Beaumont said the building<br />

HISTORIC: A city council grant could help renovate<br />

artist Bill Hammond’s former studio.<br />

would provide people with<br />

a unique retail experience.<br />

“THere is not a lot of<br />

heritage space left in<br />

Lyttelton and there is<br />

certainly not a lot of<br />

heritage commercial space<br />

available,” she said.<br />

THE DARK Star Ale house<br />

and Café will close at the<br />

end of the month.<br />

Co-owner of the café<br />

Martin Richardson previously<br />

told the <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong><br />

News they would consider<br />

limited opening hours but<br />

said this was no longer<br />

possible.<br />

“We have decided that<br />

limited opening hours for<br />

us is not going to be financially<br />

viable, hence why we<br />

are closing in <strong>March</strong>,” he<br />

said.<br />

Statutory approval for<br />

the cafe building, the<br />

equivalent of a building<br />

and resource consent,<br />

was obtained by a<br />

previous owner through<br />

emergency earthquake<br />

legislation.<br />

That approval expired<br />

in April but was extended<br />

to June 2021.<br />

A petiton on change org<br />

which called for the site’s<br />

statutory building approval<br />

to be extended “until such<br />

time as new services are<br />

built on the Godley House<br />

site” received more than<br />

3000 signatures and was<br />

presented to the Banks<br />

Peninsula Community<br />

Board.<br />

City council head of facilities<br />

property and planning<br />

Bruce Rendall said<br />

they could not consider<br />

extending the lease without<br />

a formal proposal.<br />

“The council continues<br />

to be open to considering<br />

a proposal to transfer the<br />

lease to a new operator,<br />

however, to date no new<br />

proposal or operator has<br />

been presented,” he said.<br />

However, Mr<br />

Richardson said it was<br />

difficult to attract a new<br />

Still Pedalling!<br />

Needing to remember the<br />

important things in life<br />

I LOST THE race against time.<br />

This term, Vittoria’s swimming<br />

lessons are on a Monday.<br />

We headed there as per<br />

normal, she had a great time<br />

as per normal. And then we<br />

went to wash and change as<br />

per normal.<br />

Here my race began. I had<br />

forgotten to restock the nappy<br />

bag.<br />

It was like a lead weight in<br />

my gut realising that. Honestly,<br />

it was like some kind of<br />

nightmare – I’m sure other<br />

parents will sympathise.<br />

Or else they’re thinking I’m<br />

some kind of idiot, lying to<br />

themselves that they’ve never<br />

done it. I know you have.<br />

So I had to take a big risk;<br />

put on Vittoria’s clothes and<br />

race home to get a new nappy.<br />

Racing against the possibility<br />

that she would wet said<br />

clothes, or worse, without any<br />

idea of when that may or may<br />

not happen.<br />

Like I said, nightmare. So<br />

I rushed us home, hoping<br />

against hope.<br />

I lost anyway. I got home<br />

and she needed some fresh<br />

clothes. A lesson to be learnt<br />

on my part.<br />

Well, after a bit of lightheartedness,<br />

I need to touch<br />

on something that has hit us<br />

hard as a whānau.<br />

Recently, my Nan, Vittoria’s<br />

great-grandmother, Mary<br />

Miller passed away at 91. The<br />

funeral was held on her 92nd<br />

birthday.<br />

She was an amazing woman,<br />

fierce, determined, sharp as a<br />

tack and as equally at home<br />

wearing the most elegant<br />

clothes at high society events<br />

as she was flinging out her<br />

fishing line to haul in a catch<br />

of blue cod wearing a man’s<br />

flannel shirt.<br />

Widowed young, my Nan<br />

successfully raised six children<br />

as a single mother in the 1950s.<br />

Proper tough.<br />

I am so glad that my daughter<br />

and she could meet and that I<br />

had her in my life for so long. I<br />

dearly hope that I will be able to<br />

teach Vittoria to be like her and<br />

to love the heritage that my Nan<br />

has given her.<br />

asked to bat first and made a<br />

However, wickets fell around<br />

overseas opener Tom Davie, who<br />

The pair put on a partnership<br />

of 79 to get Sumner through to a<br />

respectable 241 all out.<br />

In reply, Burnside came out<br />

blazing with their opening<br />

batsmen Alex Heenen (66) and<br />

Tom Dunlop (65) putting on a<br />

112-run opening stand at faster<br />

than a run a ball.<br />

Once they were dismissed,<br />

wickets started to fall and<br />

Sumner were back in the game.<br />

At 196/7, the gamer was in the<br />

SPORT<br />

balance. Burnside ended the first<br />

day at 210-7<br />

On day two, Burnside made a<br />

number of changes to their side,<br />

which significantly strengthened<br />

their team.<br />

They made short work of the<br />

small overnight deficit to take<br />

a lead of 25 when they were<br />

eventually dismissed for 266.<br />

The wickets were shared, but<br />

Nawid Mohammady was the best<br />

of the bowlers, picking up 3-33.<br />

Sumner then went about<br />

trying to build a total that would<br />

challenge the aggressive Burnside<br />

side. Runs came at a steady rate<br />

and at 85/2 things were looking<br />

good. But wickets continued<br />

to fall in steady succession and<br />

Sumner’s innings ended with a<br />

modest 149 all out.<br />

Anton Smail (36) was the pick<br />

of the batsmen, with four other<br />

players getting starts but not<br />

going on. Again, Burnside came<br />

out all guns blazing and went<br />

after the Sumner bowlers who<br />

had no answer to the onslaught.<br />

Burnside managed to run<br />

down the total in just 16 overs<br />

without losing a wicket. Again<br />

both Burnside openers picked up<br />

half centuries.<br />

With two rounds to go,<br />

Sumner remain in the middle of<br />

the table and will look to bounce<br />

back against East Shirley away<br />

from home this week.<br />

Sumner need to be a lot more<br />

patient with the bat and build<br />

partnerships if we want to make<br />

match-winning totals.<br />

Sumner will welcome back in<br />

form batsmen Brett Taylor this<br />

weekend who has just come off<br />

a tonne and half century in the<br />

round before last.<br />

IN FORM: David Fitch won the 1500m and 800m at the<br />

SUMNER RUNNING Club’s<br />

David Fitch won the 1500m<br />

and 800m at the national<br />

masters track and field<br />

competition in Timaru at the<br />

weekend.<br />

The 1500m was looking<br />

to be a close battle until the<br />

final 400m mark when Fitch<br />

began pulling away to convincingly<br />

win the masters 30-49 age<br />

group and secure gold in the<br />

40-44 age group.<br />

Fitch managed to complete<br />

the double on Sunday in the<br />

800m after he made the decision<br />

to lead from the gun and<br />

secured the overall win in the<br />

masters 30-49 age group and<br />

another gold in the 40-44 age<br />

group.<br />

Fitch continues to demonstrate<br />

his strength at almost<br />

every distance he competes<br />

in. His successful perfomance<br />

at the national masters comes<br />

after he took three golds at<br />

the Canterbury masters in the<br />

3000m, 1500m and 800m.<br />

Adventure race to<br />

finish in Akaroa<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

AKAROA WILL be the final<br />

destination for one of the world’s<br />

largest adventure races.<br />

On Sunday, 250 competitors in<br />

the GODZone Adventure Race<br />

will start a seven-day journey<br />

to navigate their way through a<br />

600km course, which will stretch<br />

throughout Canterbury and<br />

finish in Akaroa. The location of<br />

the start line will be announced<br />

this week.<br />

Said GODZone media manager<br />

Margo Berryman: “It is the<br />

largest in terms of team numbers<br />

and the length of the race.”<br />

Competitors from all over the<br />

world will race in teams of four<br />

and have to execute a range of<br />

disciplines, such as mountain<br />

biking, trekking, kayaking,<br />

canoeing and pack-rafting.<br />

The official welcome and<br />

race briefing will be held at The<br />

Gaiety in Akaroa on Saturday.<br />

Ms Berryman said Canterbury<br />

was the perfect location to host<br />

the event.<br />

“Canterbury was an obvious<br />

location that we all knew we<br />

would eventually end up going<br />

to. It has an amazing landscape<br />

and has an amazing adventure<br />

background.”<br />

The event is being welcomed<br />

by the<br />

Akaroa District Promotions<br />

Society, which is made up of<br />

a group of business operators<br />

in the area. “An event the size<br />

of GODZone has a significant<br />

regional benefit with competitors<br />

staying for to 10-15 days and<br />

purchasing accommodation,<br />

food, rental vehicles and<br />

participating in sight-seeing<br />

activities in the region,”<br />

said executive officer Hollie<br />

Hollander.<br />

EMERGING TALENT: Jack Tyro competing in Dunedin at the South Island Grom Series where<br />

he finished second. (Right) – Tessa Langman and Amelie Clark were all smiles after making the<br />

finals of the South Island primary school champs in their first competition.<br />

Strong results for Point Surf Team juniors<br />

Point Surf Team secretary<br />

Steve Tyro reports on how<br />

the club’s juniors are going<br />

WE HOPE you are all having<br />

a busy summer surfing and<br />

making the most of the warm<br />

water.<br />

This summer, the PST<br />

juniors have ventured from<br />

Mt Maunganui to Invercargill<br />

in pursuit of waves and<br />

competition.<br />

At the halfway stage of the<br />

season, here are the results and<br />

destinations so far:<br />

•Gisborne: A team of five,<br />

consisting of Benji Lowen, Jack<br />

Tyro, Ruby Armstrong, Holly<br />

Campbell and Amelie Wink,<br />

Steve’s Surf Report<br />

went to the NZ primary school<br />

surfing champs where the team<br />

finished a credible fourth.<br />

•Christchurch: Jack won the<br />

year 7 and year 8 South Island<br />

primary school championship<br />

titles with Amelie Clark and<br />

Tessa Langman making the finals<br />

of the year 6 and under girls<br />

event in their very first contest.<br />

•Westport: We hit the trifecta<br />

at the first South Island Grom<br />

Series with Holly taking the win,<br />

Amelie in second, and Ruby<br />

third in the under-14 girls. Benji<br />

also chimed in with third in the<br />

under-12 boys.<br />

•Taranaki: At the NZ surfing<br />

nationals, Amelie Wink was<br />

third in the women’s open SUP<br />

surf division – not bad for a<br />

13-year-old girl in the adults<br />

division. We have great hopes<br />

Amelie making the NZ team<br />

in the near future. Also at the<br />

nationals, PST alumni Manu<br />

Schafer won the men’s over 40<br />

event.<br />

•Dunedin: In event two in<br />

the South Island Grom Series,<br />

Amelie, Jack and Benji were<br />

second in there divisions.<br />

•Mt Maunganui: In the<br />

Billabong Grom Series, Jack<br />

finished fifth (more than 40<br />

competitors were in his age<br />

group).<br />

•Curio <strong>Bay</strong>: In event three of<br />

the South Island Grom Series,<br />

Holly and Amelie made the finals<br />

and Ruby the semis.<br />

Next weekend will see the<br />

return of the Duke Festival of<br />

Surfing to New Brighton. More<br />

than 200 competitors from<br />

around the country will be<br />

competing. Sumner longboarders<br />

and PST will both have a large<br />

number of people entering. The<br />

competition features both junior<br />

shortboarding and open and age<br />

group longboarding through to<br />

over 60s. PST’s Luke O’Neil (2018<br />

open longboard champ), Brittany<br />

Andrews (2018 women’s logger<br />

champ) and Jack Tyro (2018<br />

under-12 champ) will be all hoping<br />

to emulate last year’s winning<br />

results at the festival.<br />

If you are interested in joining<br />

PST, come to a training at<br />

Hardwicke St, Sumner, on a<br />

Tuesday and at Taylors Mistake<br />

on the weekends. We would also<br />

like to point out it’s not all about<br />

contests. For a lot of our junior<br />

members, surfing with other kids<br />

in their area on a regular basis is<br />

where they get there surf stoke. \<br />

Beautiful Beasts<br />

Lisa Grennell<br />

9 <strong>March</strong> - 3 April <strong>2019</strong><br />

And then we fell in love with them...<br />

The animals painted in this exhibition are from our<br />

farm. Booboo, the Highland cow, being the main<br />

subject, because of her sweet nature (and the fact<br />

that she is my favourite). From my experience as<br />

a beginner farmer and animal lover, I believe early<br />

influence on both human and animal can be similarly profound. However I am a realist regarding<br />

the consumption of animals. I don’t eat meat – so perhaps I have an unusual perspective.<br />

Booboo, eerily painted in her majestic beauty, surrounded and almost<br />

hidden by the reflective surface of the black mirror- like background, the<br />

viewer too is captured in the reflective surface, a comment on human<br />

impact on animals. This Plato quote comes to mind and challenges our<br />

thoughts…<br />

‘Is there something distinctive about humanity that tries to justify the<br />

idea that humans deserve moral status, but non - humans do not?’ -<br />

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/moral-animal/<br />

Within this body of work I’m celebrating the beauty within every<br />

creature. Real moments captured are a reminder of an innocence<br />

untainted by society. In contrast to the black paintings are some<br />

pure white images of children, along with animals, and their<br />

imaginary adventures. This emphasises the preciousness of<br />

children and their innate connection with nature.<br />

substantial kwila deck and low-maintenance<br />

garden which ensures you can spend your<br />

downtime with your feet up.<br />

arranged and places the master suite with<br />

walk-in wardrobe and ensuite at one end of<br />

the home while the remaining two bedrooms<br />

share a light and bright family bathroom.<br />

Warmth is assured courtesy of two heat<br />

pumps, a gas fire, partial underfloor heating<br />

and double glazing while further notable<br />

features include surround sound, a vacuum<br />

system and attic storage.<br />

a short stroll leading you to the coastal<br />

pathway, the waterfront and Redcliffs Shops<br />

and local amenities.<br />

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand<br />

has b en a proached in a bid to<br />

fina ly repair the potholes in New<br />

Brighton’s Hawke St car park.<br />

Coastal-Burw od Ward city<br />

counci lor David East wants<br />

WorkSafe to pre sure the car<br />

park’s private owners into<br />

repairing the potholes which are<br />

a “trip and vehicle” hazard.<br />

WorkSafe chief inspector<br />

a se sment southern Da ren<br />

Handforth said it may be able to<br />

take action under the Health and<br />

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a<br />

person conducting a busine s or<br />

undertaking.”<br />

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe<br />

is aware of the concerns raised by<br />

Cr East abou the car park.<br />

“WorkSafe has completed<br />

an a se sment visi to the site<br />

and is engaging with the owner<br />

to advise them that it is their<br />

responsibility to manage their<br />

risks a propriately.”<br />

Different parts of the car park<br />

are owned by various people<br />

and the Coastal-Burw od<br />

Community Board recently<br />

wrote to them about its concerns<br />

around health and safety.<br />

Cr East said the bi gest i sue<br />

in the past has b en ge ting in<br />

touch with the landlords and<br />

owners and ge ting them to<br />

agr e to anything. “The board<br />

a preciates that multi-ownership<br />

of the parking space may present<br />

a difficulty in co-ordinating<br />

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged<br />

to pa s these concerns onto you,”<br />

said the le ter.<br />

One reply has b en received so<br />

far from an owner who is wi ling<br />

to discu s the i sue. However, a l<br />

the owners would have to agr e<br />

to undertake work.<br />

Cr East said there had b en<br />

a “number of incidences” in<br />

the car park of people injuring<br />

themselves which had gone<br />

unreported.<br />

“I’ve always though that it<br />

has b en quite amazing that we<br />

haven’t had any serious a cidents<br />

or senior citizens perhaps<br />

tri ping in those potholes and<br />

doing themselve some damage.”<br />

He is confiden the new<br />

a proach wi l bring results.<br />

“I think the WorkSafe<br />

involvement may prove to be the<br />

lever that we are l oking for.”<br />

New bid to fix potholes<br />

Action looms<br />

THE PAPANUI-I nes<br />

Community Board has taken the<br />

rare step of starting a petition<br />

to figh the city council over<br />

funding.<br />

Signatures are being co lected<br />

in a bid to get funding for a community<br />

facility in Shirley.<br />

It comes after the city council<br />

removed funding for the centre<br />

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the<br />

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This<br />

was the site of the former community<br />

centre, which was badly<br />

damaged in the February 2,<br />

20 1, earthquake.<br />

The removal o funding<br />

prompted community board<br />

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten<br />

to stand down, citing it as her “die<br />

in the ditch” project.<br />

Ms Jone said the board’s role<br />

is to represen the community,<br />

and by gathering signatures from<br />

residents, it was fulfi ling that<br />

role.<br />

“One of the roles of a community<br />

board is to represent and act<br />

as advocate for the interests of its<br />

community and this is what we<br />

are doing. The LTP and a nual<br />

plans are a l about lo bying the<br />

council.”<br />

Cave Rock<br />

Apartments’<br />

owners<br />

expect EQC<br />

sign-off<br />

this week<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave<br />

Rock Apartments ar expecting the<br />

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off<br />

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.<br />

Body corporate chairman Mike<br />

White said the group had gone<br />

into mediation with IAG and EQC<br />

on February 20, and signed off<br />

on a deal with IAG on February<br />

2 – coincidenta ly seven years<br />

to the day after the February 2,<br />

20 1, earthquake. However, they<br />

are waiting for EQC to sign the<br />

agr ement.<br />

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted<br />

the agr ement, there’ l be no<br />

problem with them doing that.”<br />

The apartment suffered damage<br />

in the February and June, 20 1,<br />

earthquakes and were demolished in<br />

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the<br />

difference betw en indemnity value,<br />

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,<br />

$16 million, was rejected by the body<br />

corporate.<br />

The mediation agr ement<br />

prevented Mr White from disclosing<br />

the se tlement amount, but he said it<br />

involved the two parties paying “a bit<br />

more money than they’d wanted to<br />

earlier.”<br />

A WOOLSTON butcher proved<br />

to be a cut above the rest in an<br />

international competition.<br />

New World Fe ry Rd butcher<br />

Jeremy Garth and his team, the<br />

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently<br />

came second a the World<br />

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern<br />

Ireland.<br />

It was the firs time Mr Garth<br />

had competed in the cha lenge<br />

and he was “rea ly proud” of<br />

how the team performed.<br />

“We produced some top quality<br />

products and came away<br />

with a g od result so we’re very<br />

ha py,” he said.<br />

The preparation for this year’s<br />

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was<br />

intense as the team members<br />

met in Auckland every two<br />

months for lengthy w ekend<br />

practices.<br />

Mr Garth, who has b en a<br />

butcher for 14 years, said the<br />

competition brought back his<br />

pa sion for the job.<br />

“Doing a l thi stuff and<br />

m eting new people, s eing new<br />

ideas, it just brings that flair<br />

back for you,” he said.<br />

Mr Garth hopes to own a<br />

butcher shop of his own someday<br />

but says for now he wi l focus<br />

on ge ting mor experience<br />

and on the 2020 cha lenge.<br />

“In two years’ time, we’ l be<br />

going back to try and win the<br />

title,” he said.<br />

Only eight submi sions were<br />

holding a hearing for the Public<br />

Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial<br />

Activities and Events in<br />

Public Places.<br />

A hearing i scheduled to be<br />

held on Thursday.<br />

The bylaw comes as an increasing<br />

number of mobile traders<br />

are s eking to operate in Selwyn,<br />

especia ly during the summer<br />

months.<br />

In the past year, the district<br />

council has received five inquiries<br />

about se ting up a mobile busine s<br />

The New Zealand Mounted<br />

The presentation is a prelude<br />

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve<br />

As a tribute to those who<br />

Mr A pleton said it was<br />

important children were<br />

educated on what soldiers<br />

War 1 and World War 2.<br />

But he said the presentation<br />

didn’t go into t o much detail<br />

and was more of a “show and<br />

AN U PER Ri carton butcher<br />

has proven himself to be a cut<br />

above his Au sie rivals at an<br />

international competition.<br />

Elite Meats owner Corey<br />

Winder was named in the a l<br />

star team a the World Butchers’<br />

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.<br />

Mr Winder and his team, the<br />

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which<br />

includes W olston butcher<br />

Jeremy Garth, finished second<br />

in the competition.<br />

He said the cha lenge started<br />

as a “transtasman test match”<br />

seven years ago.<br />

The preparation for this<br />

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge<br />

was intense as the team<br />

members met in Auckland<br />

every two months for lengthy<br />

w ekend practices. Mr Winder<br />

said coming second against 1<br />

other countries was a “fantastic”<br />

result.<br />

“To get second behind Ireland<br />

was a huge achievement and to<br />

be ahead of Australia is an<br />

even bi ger thing for us,” he<br />

said.<br />

But Mr Winder admires the<br />

Australian team.<br />

“Those guys over there<br />

[Australia] are on top of their<br />

game, they do a g od job,” he<br />

said.<br />

“And it just showcases that<br />

New Zealand has got some<br />

of the best butchers in the<br />

world,” he said.<br />

Mr Winder has b en a butcher<br />

“You can just about guarant e<br />

it . because we [the community<br />

areas,” he said.<br />

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if<br />

the city council would endorse the<br />

board’ submi sion.<br />

“I’d like to think so because the<br />

city council has had their eyes<br />
