from the editor’s desk<br />
THE CRUISE ships in Akaroa<br />
continue to polarise people in what<br />
was once a fairly sleepy hollow.<br />
Businesses sort of like them. The<br />
thousands who pour in during the<br />
season spend before and after heading<br />
to Christchurch. So that helps. But for many residents,<br />
there’s simply too many cruise ship passengers.<br />
The cruise ship debate has led to meetings and<br />
petitions. Now temporary toilets installed by the city<br />
council at Britomart Reserve (see page 1) could end up<br />
in legal action.<br />
An apartment block overlooks the reserve. Their once<br />
nice view out to the harbour is punctuated by the toilets<br />
and everything that goes on there. A lawyer is now<br />
involved and the city council appears to be in a corner.<br />

‘Warrant of fitness’ issue for tug<br />
Maritime NZ<br />
holds up<br />
launch date<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
TUG LYTTELTON will not<br />
be able to carry passengers as<br />
planned because it has not been<br />
given a ‘warrant of fitness.’<br />
A Maritime NZ spokeswoman<br />
said the surveyor was yet to issue<br />
a certificate of survey for the<br />
vessel.<br />
“This is similar to a warrant<br />
of fitness for a car. Maritime<br />
NZ are also<br />

The tug’s first passenger cruise<br />

scheduled to take place in<br />
December but was pushed back<br />
to January and then February.<br />

The society is now struggling<br />
financially because it has not<br />
held a passenger cruise in three<br />
years.<br />
Said Mr Bruce: “We are under<br />
extreme pressure. We are going<br />
for some grants, some of the<br />
members are supporting us but<br />
we have just got a bill for our<br />
public liability insurance for<br />
$6000, we just don’t have the<br />
money to pay for it.”<br />
But the setback has not<br />
dampened Mr Bruce’s<br />
hopes of getting the tug going<br />
again.<br />
“You pull your head in, you<br />
be nice and polite, you help<br />
where you can and you just get<br />
on with it. We will get there<br />
eventually.”<br />

COLLETT’S CORNER GOAL<br />
Lyttelton’s Collett’s Corner<br />
development has reached its<br />
minimum goal of $300,000<br />
through an online crowd-funding<br />
campaign. The project aims to<br />
raise a maximum of $2 million to<br />
progress through to the design,<br />
consent and construction stages.<br />
The top two floors of the planned<br />
building would be apartments<br />
and the rest of it would operate<br />
under shared ownership.<br />
SUMNER MASTERPLAN<br />
The work set out in the Sumner<br />
Village masterplan will start on<br />
Monday. Sections of wastewater,<br />
stormwater and water pipes will<br />
be replaced, while new kerbs,<br />
footpaths, street furniture<br />
and road surfaces will also be<br />
installed. There will be water<br />
shutdowns, detours and road<br />
closures during the work.<br />
Affected residents will be notified<br />
and the work is estimated to take<br />
six months.<br />
BURST WATER MAINS<br />
A city council investigation has<br />
revealed the four water mains<br />
which burst within 48 hours in<br />
Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> last month<br />
was due to a fault with a pressure<br />
reducing valve. The faulty valve<br />
is believed to have increased the<br />
pressure of the mains causing the<br />
failures.<br />

Toilets anger apartment owners<br />
•From page 1<br />
Said Ms Steven:<br />
“Without going through<br />
the process of gaining a<br />
resource consent, the city<br />
council has bypassed the<br />
hearing process which<br />
gives interested parties an<br />
opportunity to speak<br />
in support or opposition<br />
of what is being proposed.”<br />
A Bruce Apartment<br />
Body Corporate<br />
spokesman told <strong>Bay</strong><br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> News it was an<br />
absolute disgrace it was not<br />
consulted before the toilets<br />
were put there.<br />
“City council contractors<br />
have been filmed pumping<br />
out these ugly toilets at<br />
daybreak, causing loud<br />
noise and distress to our<br />
owners and guests, many of<br />
whom are paying over $300<br />
per night for the privilege<br />
of being caught up in this<br />
circus,” he said.<br />
Deputy Mayor and<br />
Banks Peninsula city<br />
councillor Andrew Turner<br />
believed the failure to seek<br />
a resource consent was an<br />
oversight from city council<br />
staff.<br />
“There has been a<br />
degree of embarrassment<br />
around the fact that<br />
consent was not applied<br />
for when it should have<br />
been. City council has a<br />
duty to lead by example in<br />
these situations,” he said<br />
yesterday.<br />
Cr Turner understood<br />
the city council was<br />
seeking a retrospective<br />
resource consent.<br />
“My understanding<br />
from council staff is that<br />
retrospective consent<br />
will be applied for<br />
and obviously future<br />
consenting requirements<br />
will be met.”<br />
Akaroa Civic Trust<br />
chairman Mike Norris<br />
said the toilets were an<br />
eyesore.<br />
“It just contributes to the<br />
overall tackiness that we<br />
are trying to combat,” he<br />
said.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Outrage after rocket launch causes fire<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
A ROCKET launch by<br />
Canterbury University which<br />
caused a fire on Kaitorete<br />
Spit has left nearby residents<br />
outraged.<br />
Little River Wairewa<br />
Community Trust chairman<br />
Robert Burch labelled the rocket<br />
launch a “silly thing to do.”<br />
“Why are they launching a<br />
rocket when we have a total fire<br />
ban?” he said.<br />
Canterbury University group,<br />
UC Aerospace, was attempting<br />
to become the first student group<br />
in the world to launch a rocket<br />
into space last Sunday morning.<br />
The university said the attempt<br />
was not successful but is saying<br />
little more about the project.<br />
“This is a story that hasn’t<br />
been in the media because they<br />
didn’t get out of the earth’s<br />
atmosphere,” a spokeswoman<br />
said.<br />
But <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News<br />
inquiries reveal the rocket was<br />
launched from Kaitorete Spit,<br />
which protects Lake Ellesmere<br />
from the sea, about 10am.<br />
The rocket, which was planned<br />
to crash back into the sea,<br />
landed in a paddock, causing a<br />
fire which destroyed vegetation,<br />
Little River Volunteer Fire<br />
Brigade acting station officer<br />
Matt Ledgerwood said.<br />
When firefighters arrived,<br />
students involved with the<br />
project had put the fire out.<br />
“With a bit of bad luck, it could<br />
have been a lot worse. Luckily<br />
the grass was quite short and<br />
there was no wind,” he said.<br />
Sue Morrow, who lives at<br />
nearby Birdlings Flat, rushed<br />
towards the fire after being<br />
alerted of smoke coming from<br />
Kaitorete Spit on the Birdlings<br />
Flat Community Residents<br />
Facebook Page.<br />
“It’s bloody stupid doing that<br />
at this time of year when it is<br />
tinder dry,” she said.<br />
The fire had been put out by<br />
the time she got there.<br />
Fire and Emergency NZ<br />
deputy principal rural fire officer<br />
Al Hutt shared the concerns of<br />
nearby residents.<br />
“This has not been handled<br />
particularly well by the<br />
university. My view is that the<br />
timing was probably wrong,<br />
middle of winter and it would<br />
not have been a problem,” he<br />
said.<br />
The university spokeswoman<br />
said the group had all the<br />
appropriate permissions from<br />
various agencies, including the<br />
Civil Aviation Authority and NZ<br />
Space Agency, as well as various<br />
controls in place to prevent harm<br />
in a range of eventualities.<br />
Kaitorete Spit is home to<br />
several rare insects, reptiles<br />
and birds and is of significant<br />
cultural value to Ngāi Tahu<br />
due to the more than 500<br />
archaeological sites found there.<br />
The Canterbury University<br />
launch was part of the<br />
international race to become the<br />
first university group to blast<br />
a rocket beyond the Karman<br />
line. The line is 100km above<br />
the earth’s surface and is widely<br />
recognised as the boundary to<br />
outer space.<br />
RISKY: A rocket launch by<br />
a group from Canterbury<br />
University, which caused a<br />
fire at the tinder dry Kaitorete<br />
Spit, has outraged nearby<br />
residents.<br />
The University of Southern<br />
California’s rocket propulsion<br />
laboratory set the highest<br />
altitude reached by a university<br />
group in <strong>March</strong> 2017 with 44km.<br />

E19/7226<br />
Environment Canterbury is considering its <strong>2019</strong>-20<br />
Annual Plan.<br />
While the plan largely aligns with the most recent<br />
Long-Term Plan, small changes to our fees and charges<br />
policy and our revenue and financing policy are being<br />
considered. Increased funding of public transport to<br />
match funding from NZTA and increased funding in water<br />
management, pest control and biodiversity are also being<br />
considered, as well as a reduction in air quality funding.<br />
These will impact on some ratepayers, depending on<br />
their location, when the <strong>2019</strong>-20 Regional Council<br />
rate is confirmed.<br />

WELL-KNOWN Sumner<br />
identity Nancy Meherne came<br />
away with one of the top prizes at<br />
the Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />
Edible Garden Awards.<br />
The Sumner resident of 63<br />
years won the best yield prize<br />
alongside Claire Taylor and<br />
also received a certificate in the<br />
residential house category, with<br />
judges commending her garden’s<br />
plant health and overall quality.<br />
Mrs Meherne, 89, said she<br />
would be out in her garden as<br />
late as 10pm some nights.<br />
“I always go in for the news<br />
and then go back out again. I can<br />
get my whole meal in my garden<br />
– I don’t need to go to the shops,”<br />
she said.<br />
When Mrs Meherne is not<br />
tending to her potatoes, carrots,<br />
parsnips, spinach, silverbeet,<br />
peppers, capsicums, cucumbers,<br />
zucchinis, pumpkins, radishes or<br />
lettuce, she is catching waves at<br />
Sumner beach.<br />
“I don’t know how to stand up<br />
but I know how to catch a wave.<br />
I can go in further than most<br />
people.”<br />
Mrs Meherne said she fell in<br />
love with Sumner and its beach<br />
the moment she laid eyes on it.<br />
“When I first moved to<br />
Christchurch I did not know<br />
anyone, so one day I caught the<br />
tram to Sumner and it was the<br />
most wonderful place, the sight<br />
of the beach was breathtaking<br />
and still is.”<br />
Mrs Meherne taught music at<br />
Sumner School for many years<br />
and continued to give lessons<br />
at the school following her<br />
retirement up until recently.<br />
Mrs Meherne now teaches<br />
piano to pupils out of her home.<br />
Her dedication to teaching<br />
music led to the school’s music<br />
room being named after her.<br />
Sumner School music teacher<br />
Robyn Lean, who was taught by<br />
Mrs Meherne in the 1980s, said<br />
she put her life and soul into<br />
teaching music.<br />
“She is just a really<br />
extraordinary person, she has<br />
been very passionate and good at<br />
instilling that same passion on to<br />
her students. You just really felt<br />
like you were part of her family<br />
as a student,” she said.<br />

SPEED LIMITS on Summit<br />
Rd could be set for a complete<br />
reshuffle.<br />
The city council is proposing<br />
to reduce the speed limit<br />
on Summit Rd, from Godley<br />
Head to Gebbies Pass Rd,<br />
from 100km/h and 70km/h to<br />
60km/h.<br />
Also included in the Summit<br />
Rd speed limit review are five<br />
adjoining side roads – Broadleaf<br />
Lane and Sumner, Worsleys, Mt<br />
Pleasant and Evans Pass Rds.<br />
The speed limit review is now<br />
open for public consultation.<br />
A final decision about this<br />
proposal will be made by city<br />
council following recommendations<br />
from a hearings panel in<br />
May.<br />
City council transport operations<br />
manager Steffan Thomas<br />
said they were reviewing speed<br />
limits based on guidance from<br />
the New Zealand Traffic Association.<br />
“Speed determines both the<br />
likelihood of a crash occurring<br />
and the severity of the outcome,”<br />
he said.<br />
Mr Thomas encouraged the<br />
public to submit their views on<br />
the proposal.<br />

A CAT in Sumner has stolen<br />
basket loads of clothes, building<br />
equipment and toys over the past<br />
few months.<br />
Eighteen-month-old Roddy<br />
has had an appetite for stealing<br />
newspapers and magazines since<br />
he was a kitten but has recently<br />
turned his attention toward<br />
clothes, building equipment and<br />
toys.<br />
Roddy’s owners are now calling<br />
for people in the area who have<br />
had items gone missing recently<br />
to see if they were stolen by him.<br />
Owner Sara Buerki said they<br />
have baskets full of stolen goods.<br />
“One time Dad was just out in<br />
the garden and Roddy came up to<br />
him with a T-shirt and dropped<br />
it at his feet and ran away, so Dad<br />
followed him and Roddy was in<br />
the neighbours’ car and he was<br />
taking clothing out of their car,”<br />
LOOT: Some<br />
of the items<br />
Roddy (below)<br />
has taken.<br />
Roddy’s hefty haul<br />
said Ms Buerki.<br />
A basket of stolen items has<br />
been left outside their house on<br />
Campbell St.<br />
Ms Buerki posted on the Sumner<br />
Community Facebook page<br />
on Thursday to see if anyone recognised<br />
some of the items which<br />
Roddy had stolen.<br />
Since then four people have<br />
claimed some of the stolen items.<br />
However, Roddy has continued<br />
to steal and stole six more items<br />
on Saturday night.<br />
TICKED OFF an item from the<br />
parenting bucket list and took<br />
Vittoria for her first camping<br />
trip.<br />
And to be completely honest,<br />
she was so well behaved that this<br />
won’t be as funny as you’d think.<br />
My little (not-so-littleanymore)<br />
cousin Anna got<br />
married to now husband Lui in<br />
a beautiful ceremony at Anna’s<br />
family home in Waimate.<br />
The property is incredible,<br />
with rocky outcrops, caves, a<br />
flowing creek and stunning<br />
vistas of the Southern Alps. So<br />
lovely that it would be rude not<br />
to camp there, which was their<br />
suggestion for guests anyway.<br />
I was a little concerned over<br />
how Vittoria would behave on<br />
a camping trip, she’s so full on<br />
now and needs to be running<br />
around at full speed for most of<br />
each day.<br />
And this camping trip would<br />
follow yet another long drive.<br />
Definite tantrum danger zone.<br />
We arrived mid-afternoon, the<br />
sun was shining and the whānau<br />
was busy setting things up for<br />
the ceremony.<br />
As with any family event,<br />
there were young cousins about<br />
and Vittoria immediately took a<br />
shine to sisters Lizzie and Anna<br />
(a different one). And thankfully<br />
they took a shine to Vittoria too.<br />
•Former <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News journalist Matt Salmons has<br />
become a stay-at-home dad. We follow his journey weekly.<br />
Sound sleep at campsite<br />
Can you say parenting support<br />
team?<br />
I’m pretty glad Vittoria won’t<br />
remember me setting up our<br />
tent, I got there, but it probably<br />
didn’t make me look like any<br />
sort of outdoors-man.<br />
So with a ready tent and a<br />
cousin support team on standby,<br />
we were set for the wedding.<br />
Vittoria was so good during<br />
the ceremony, allowing us to<br />
enjoy seeing Anna and Lui<br />
finally tie the knot. They’re a<br />
great couple, loving, respectful<br />
and quirky in pretty similar<br />
ways.<br />
After playing for hours,<br />
eating her dinner, my dinner<br />
and trying for a sip of my beer,<br />
VITTORIA<br />
& Matt<br />
CAMPSITE:<br />
Vittoria looking<br />
to sneak in some<br />
early driving<br />
lessons while<br />
daddy gets busy<br />
on the tent.<br />
wee bubs finally fell asleep in<br />
her pram. Then woke up during<br />
speeches. Then again during the<br />
fireworks.<br />
So we finished our time at<br />
the party with Laura coiled in<br />
a porta-cot with Vittoria while<br />
I organised a ride back to our<br />
campsite, about a pitch black<br />
400m away (read – had a couple<br />
more with some of the cousins).<br />
We all slept reasonably well<br />
once we arrived at the tent – Vittoria<br />
and I fell into a deep sleep<br />
as soon as we hit the mattress<br />
– and we’ve been left with plenty<br />
of confidence that we could do<br />
it again.<br />
We may need to bring some<br />
cousins along though.<br />

Kilwinning Lodge<br />
on Canterbury St dates<br />
from 1881 but was badly<br />
damaged in the 2011<br />
earthquake and has been<br />
empty since then.<br />
Structural engineering<br />
company Structex bought<br />
the lodge in 2015 and<br />
asked the city council<br />
for a heritage incentive<br />
grant towards the cost of<br />
repairing, strengthening,<br />
and renovating the<br />
building so it could be used<br />
as an office upstairs with<br />
leased commercial space on<br />
the ground floor.<br />
The social community<br />
development and housing<br />
committee approved the<br />
grant of $258,782 for the<br />
lodge last Wednesday.<br />
The grant is split into<br />
$158,782 this financial year<br />
and $100,000 in the next<br />
financial year.<br />
Committee chair city<br />
councillor Phil Clearwater<br />
said the building was an<br />
important local landmark.<br />
“The grant will protect<br />
a unique and significant<br />
building in an area where<br />
so many heritage buildings<br />
have been lost following the<br />
earthquakes,” he said.<br />
The cost of heritagerelated<br />
work is estimated<br />
to be more than $1.2<br />
million, with the<br />
heritage incentive grant<br />
contributing to about 20<br />
per cent of the total cost.<br />

Support grows for ship<br />
levy to support seafarers<br />
A PETITION calling for a levy to support<br />
the welfare of seafarers has received more<br />
than 150 signatures.<br />
The petition was started by newlyappointed<br />
Banks Peninsula Community<br />
Board deputy chairman Tyrone<br />
Fields.<br />
The intent of the petition is to<br />
“build a large register of local<br />
support asking that the NZ<br />
Government levy ships docking in<br />
NZ ports to fund seafarer welfare<br />
centres, as suggested by the<br />
Maritime Labour Convention.”<br />
Mr Fields has been doorknocking<br />
and circulating the<br />
petition throughout shops in an<br />
attempt to raise awareness.<br />
“It is amazing about how many people<br />
do not know about it,” he said.<br />
Last week, Maritime NZ stopped a<br />
Taiwanese bulk-carrier in Lyttelton<br />
Tyrone Fields<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>, which was on its way to Panama,<br />
after it was revealed the crew members<br />
were not being paid properly.<br />
The bulk-carrier was not allowed to leave<br />
Lyttelton until the operator paid the crew<br />
four months wages.<br />
Lyttelton Seafarers<br />
Centre Charitable Trust<br />
chairman John McLister said<br />
seafarers’ centres across the<br />
country are in desperate need of<br />
funding. “If we rely, as we have in<br />
the past, on having sausage sizzles,<br />
we won’t be able to provide the<br />
service these seafarers need,” said<br />
Rev McLister.<br />
The centre has had more than<br />
10,000 visits from seafarers since it<br />
opened almost four years ago.<br />
It provides them with assistance,<br />
amenities, care, support and wi-fi so they<br />
can call their families back home.

because we’re cruisers too.<br />
Mel Hubber Kim Beswick Melissa May<br />

Exploring by sea is one of the greatest forms of travel I<br />
have experienced. I have sailed from France around<br />
Corsica and the Greek islands on a <strong>13</strong>0 foot luxury<br />
yacht which gave me a great insight to some of the most<br />
beautiful ports and marinas in the world. River cruising<br />
is also a favourite and I have cruised the Rhine with<br />
Uniworld as well as the Christmas markets from Prague<br />
to Vienna with Avalon waterways. I also explored the<br />
beautiful islands of Croatia with Katarina Lines.<br />
Having worked on cruise ships for 8 years my first hand<br />
cruise experience & knowledge is extensive. I have<br />
literally cruised to all oceans and continents around the<br />
world, on large, medium and small sized ships. Favourite<br />
cruise destinations for me are the Caribbean, Norwegian<br />
Fjords, Mediterranean and Antarctica. Recently I have<br />
also experienced a river cruise on the Rhine with Avalon<br />
Waterways & am looking forward to returning to Alaska<br />
this year and revisiting my first ever cruise region.<br />
Cruising is one of my favourite ways to holiday as it allows<br />
you to do as much or as little as you like and getting the<br />
variety of visiting a range of destinations without the<br />
hassle of changing hotels and catching flights. I have been<br />
lucky enough to cruise on a few different cruise lines to a<br />
few different destinations, however one of my favourites<br />
is cruising in the South Pacific. You can board the ship in<br />
Auckland or Australia and get to visit some untouched<br />
tropical Islands that you may not normally be able to get to.<br />

I love cruising! I’ve been fortunate enough to go on a<br />
few cruises, including a P&O one up the East Coast of<br />
Australia and one around the Greek Islands and Turkey.<br />
However, my favourite trip onboard a boat was a Sail<br />
Croatia trip. This was great way to travel! I really liked<br />
that you only had to unpack once, got to swim and relax<br />
during the day, and at night you could go and explore<br />
one of the various islands. I have a huge passion for<br />
travel and love exploring new destinations.<br />
I was lucky enough to sail the seven seas as a working<br />
crew member on board various size ships around the<br />
world for 5 years, to then be a guest onboard a Turkish<br />
Gulet sail trip along the Turquoise Coast to most recently<br />
an ocean cruise travelling solo in the Caribbean. Cruising<br />
offers something for everyone and now I get to inspire<br />
people to choose the right Cruise for them. To me travel is<br />
addictive, it’s an awe inspiring journey of discovery which<br />
fuels the soul & makes you richer.<br />
Cruising is a fantastic way to see the world! I love<br />
both the small ship experience, on board a yacht<br />
round the coast line of Croatia, as well as the bigger<br />
ship I was fortunate enough to enjoy up in the<br />
Baltics. Nothing beats unpacking once and arriving at<br />
a new destination each morning, relaxed and ready<br />
to explore. Travel is my passion & I love helping<br />
clients create an unforgettable experience that is<br />
uniquely their own!<br />

Wellbeing & Beauty<br />
Treat the whole person -<br />
not just the damaged part!<br />
HOLISTIC MASSAGE... a healing<br />
treatment that combines deep relaxation<br />
methods with deep tissue massage.<br />
“Holistic Massage Therapy helps you<br />
to reconnect with your body so that your<br />
muscles can respond better to treatment,”<br />
said Renée Daniell, therapist and owner of<br />
Prana Massage Therapy.<br />
Based in Sumner, Renée has lived in<br />
the community for 20 years where she<br />
has been practising holistic massage for<br />
the past four years. Located in a private,<br />
tranquil garden setting her studio is<br />
tastefully arranged, and has a soothingly<br />
relaxing atmosphere.<br />
Prior to this, the mother of three lived<br />
in Keri Keri and studied in Christchurch.<br />
Her credentials include a Diploma in<br />
Aromatherapy, a level 5 Certificate of<br />
Deep Tissue and Remedial Massage<br />
Techniques, and a NASDA Diploma in<br />
Performance Art (Singing and Dramatic).<br />
Her background also includes six years<br />
of classical singing and ballet, which gave<br />
her some great knowledge of breathing<br />
techniques, posture and movement.<br />
“I’ve accumulated a thorough body<br />
awareness through years of singing, dance<br />
and movement training,” said Renée.<br />
“This includes breathing techniques for<br />
singing and voice, postural awareness<br />
through Tai chi, Iyengar Yoga and the<br />
Alexander Technique. My training at<br />
the College of Natural Medicine also<br />
included Aromatherapy skills, Reflexology,<br />
body awareness, breathing and postural<br />
analysis.”<br />
‘Prana Massage Therapy’ offers holistic<br />
massage therapy that aims to treat the<br />
whole person rather than a damaged part<br />
and relaxation techniques that can be<br />
combined with deep-tissue techniques.<br />
“The nervous system responds to an<br />
induced state of relaxation by entering the<br />
‘resting and digesting’ phase and releasing<br />

Amelia rides<br />
to gold at<br />
NZ track<br />
cycling<br />
champs<br />
SUMNER’S AMELIA Sykes<br />
brought home four medals from<br />
the New Zealand track cycling<br />
championships held over four<br />
days in Cambridge.<br />
The 14-year-old represented<br />
Canterbury and secured gold in<br />
the team sprint and 3000m team<br />
pursuit, and silver in the 500m<br />
time trial and match sprint.<br />
Amelia and her teammate,<br />
Jenna Borthwick, paired up in<br />
the team sprint, setting a new<br />
national record of 36.947sec in<br />
qualifying, then going on to win<br />
the event.<br />
It was Amelia’s first time<br />
competing at under-17 level. She<br />
also finished fifth in the 2000m<br />
pursuit.<br />
Amelia’s coach sets her<br />
programme each week and<br />
records her performance data<br />
which aims to build on her<br />
strength.<br />
Amelia’s father, Julian Sykes,<br />
first introduced her to track<br />
cycling when she was 12.<br />
Previously Amelia was a<br />
champion ice speed skater at<br />
the age of 10. Her dream is to<br />
compete at the 2024 Olympic<br />
Games.<br />
Sumner surfers up for Duke festival<br />
New Brighton<br />
Pier Promotion<br />
Society’s<br />
Warren Hawke<br />
is anticipating a<br />
strong showing<br />
from Sumner<br />
surfers at the Ray White<br />
New Brighton Duke Festival<br />
of Surfing this week<br />
THE SUMNER surfing<br />
community is expected to have<br />
a big impact on the Ray White<br />
New Brighton Duke Festival of<br />
Surfing contest from Friday to<br />
Sunday beside the New Brighton<br />
Pier.<br />
The festival, which includes<br />
the largest surfing competition<br />
in New Zealand, has special<br />
interest this year because the<br />
open longboarder is one of the<br />
selection contests for the New<br />
Zealand team to compete in<br />
France.<br />
On Friday, the age group<br />
shortboard surfing begins with<br />
the under-12, under-14, under-17<br />
and under-20 titles all being<br />
chased by high seeds, such as<br />
Estella Hungerford and Ava<br />
Henderson, who is currently<br />
ranked No 1 in New Zealand in<br />
her age group.<br />
Among other young Sumner<br />
surfers will be Jack Tyro who won<br />
the under-12 boys event last year<br />
and will compete in the under-14<br />
and under-16 boys this year.<br />
Holly Campbell, Amelie Wink<br />
and Caspar McCormick are all<br />
expected to make finals and<br />
could win against young surfers<br />
from all over New Zealand.<br />
The shortboard competition<br />
will start early on Friday<br />
morning next to the pier in<br />
the quest for a much-coveted<br />
Duke Trophy, along with an<br />
accompanying prize pack.<br />
On Saturday morning, the<br />
longboard competitions will<br />
begin and Sumner surfers are<br />
expected to provide finalists in<br />
nearly every division.<br />
Luke O’Neil has won several<br />
premier events in the past,<br />
while Donna Henderson in the<br />
women’s longboard and Lucy<br />
Temoananui Women’s in the<br />
SUP are all expected to make<br />
finals again.<br />
Sumner is so rich in top<br />
longboarders that it could quite<br />
easily have finalists in every<br />
section.<br />
Other Sumner longboarders<br />
who could do well include Steve<br />
Tyro, Grant Cochrane, Steve<br />
and Mark Andrews and Tim<br />
Clemence.<br />
SPORT<br />
IN FORM: Jack Tyro will<br />
compete at under-14 and<br />
16 level after winning the<br />
under-12 event last year.<br />
PHOTOS: WARREN HAWKE<br />
ONE TO WATCH: Luke O’Neill<br />
has won several premier<br />
events in the past.<br />
The festival comes to a close<br />
on Sunday with the prize giving<br />
from 6pm at The New Brighton<br />
Club.<br />
About 60 trophies will be<br />
awarded in 20 different divisions.<br />
With The Duke being the<br />
biggest surfing event held in<br />
New Zealand last year, interest<br />
in the upcoming event has been<br />
overwhelming.<br />

The Lost Girls of Paris<br />
by Pam Jenoff<br />
From the author of the runaway bestseller The Orphan’s Tale comes a remarkable story<br />
of friendship and courage centred around three women and a ring of female secret<br />
agents during World War II.<br />
1946, Manhattan<br />
One morning while passing through Grand Central Terminal on her way to<br />
work, Grace Healey finds an abandoned suitcase tucked beneath a bench.<br />
Unable to resist her own curiosity, Grace opens the suitcase, where she<br />
discovers a dozen photographs-each of a different woman. In a moment of<br />
impulse, Grace takes the photographs and quickly leaves the station.<br />
Grace soon learns that the suitcase belonged to a woman named Eleanor Trigg,<br />
leader of a network of female secret agents who were deployed out of London<br />
during the war. Twelve of these women were sent to Occupied Europe as couriers<br />
and radio operators to aid the resistance, but they never returned home, their fates<br />
a mystery. Setting out to learn the truth behind the women in the photographs, Grace<br />
finds herself drawn to a young mother turned agent named Marie, whose daring mission<br />
overseas reveals a remarkable story of friendship, valour and betrayal.<br />
Vividly rendered and inspired by true events, New York Times bestselling author Pam<br />
Jenoff shines a light on the incredible heroics of the brave women of the war and weaves<br />
a mesmerising tale of courage, sisterhood and the great strength of women to survive in<br />
the hardest of circumstances.<br />
The Chocolate Maker’s Wife<br />
by Karen Brooks<br />
Australian author Karen Brooks rewrites women back into history with this sweeping,<br />
breathtakingly researched tale of 17th century London. Set against the backdrop of<br />
Restoration London, the plague and the Great Fire, this is a tale of cruelty, revenge,<br />
redemption, love and hope, and the sweet, sinister temptation of chocolate.<br />
Damnation has never been so sweet...When Rosamund Tomkins enters the world<br />
she is so different, with her darkling eyes and strange laughter, that the midwives<br />
are afraid, believing her a changeling. But Rosamund’s life is set to be anything but<br />
enchanted...<br />
Born into poverty, brutalised and ignored by her family, it is only when she is<br />
married off to a nobleman that her life undergoes a wondrous transformation, as he<br />
recognises that Rosamund infuses magic she does not know she possesses into<br />
everything she touches.<br />
Clever, quick and irrepressible, Rosamund soon becomes the darling of the haute<br />
ton, and presides over her luxurious chocolate house where the rich go to be seen<br />
and indulge in their favourite pastime, drinking the sweet and heady drink to which<br />
they’ve become oddly addicted.<br />
But Rosamund stands on the brink of losing all she has worked so hard to achieve<br />
and will be forced to make a choice: walk away from all she knows and has grown<br />
to love with her soul intact, or make a deal with the devil?<br />

The Hunt for MH370<br />
The mystery. The cover-up. The Truth<br />
By ean Higgins<br />
Somewhere out in the wild seas of the southern Indian Ocean, in<br />
the underwater canyons of Broken Ridge near the alien sub-terrain<br />
known as the Seventh Arc lies the answer to the world’s greatest<br />
aviation mystery.<br />
Why, on the night of 8 <strong>March</strong> 2014, did Malaysia Flight MH370<br />
suddenly U-turn on the trip from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, zig-zag<br />
over Malaysia and up the Straits of Malacca, then disappear in the<br />
middle of nowhere without a word from anyone on board?<br />
Was it an elaborate murder-suicide by a rogue pilot? A terrible<br />
accident as a result of an on-board fire, rapid decompression or<br />
systems failure? A terrorist hijacking gone wrong? Was the flight<br />
captured by North Korean spies? Or even, as a few extremists<br />
believe, the victim of extra-terrestrial intervention? Journalist for The Australian Ean Higgins has led<br />
the world’s coverage of the MH370 saga, one of the 21st century’s most baffling, enduring and<br />
controversial mysteries. Ean’s book draws on five years of interviews with aviation experts, victim<br />
families, air-crash investigators and air and ocean hunters, and takes us inside the saga like never<br />
before, written up close, on the inside, and from the major player’s perspectives.<br />
Untitled By Anna Pasternak<br />
Who was the real Wallis: an opportunistic American social climber,<br />
a master manipulator or the true love of Edward’s life? Amid the<br />
cacophony of condemnation her story has become obfuscated.<br />
Untitled is an intimate biography of one of the most misunderstood<br />
women in British royal history. His charisma and glamour ensured<br />
him the status of a rock star prince. Yet Edward gave up the British<br />
throne, the British Empire and his position as Emperor of India, to<br />
marry his true love, American divorcee Wallis Simpson. So much<br />
gossip and innuendo has been levelled at Wallis Simpson that it<br />
has become nearly impossible to discern the real woman. Many<br />
have wondered why, when Edward could have had anyone he<br />
desired, he was smitten with this unusual American woman. As<br />
her friend Herman Rogers said to her in 1936 when news of her<br />
affair with Edward broke: ‘Much of what is being said concerns a<br />
woman who does not exist and never did exist.’ History is mostly<br />
perceived from the perspective of his-story.<br />
Keepers of History<br />
New Zealand Centenarians tell their stories.<br />
By renee Hollis<br />
From the everyday to the extraordinary, these are the stories of New<br />
Zealand centenarians who have lived through history. In 2017,<br />
Renee Hollis interviewed 120 people over the age of 100, living in<br />
every region of New Zealand. Along the way, she had the privilege<br />
of interviewing 23 World War II veterans. Her goal in compiling the<br />
book was to preserve New Zealand history by sharing the stories and<br />
memories of our eldest citizens. She wants all people to value the<br />
elderly and to read and appreciate their stories and contribution to<br />
our society. Most importantly, she wants to ensure that that they are not forgotten and do not become<br />
invisible in our communities, but instead are honoured and celebrated. In this collection of interviews,<br />
we meet opera singers and farmers, a politician and a racing car driver, a nun and a freedom fighter<br />
with Gandhi, and even a member of Hip Operation - the oldest hip-hop group in the world! They have<br />
witnessed momentous global events and technological innovations that have changed our world.<br />
Mutiny on the Bounty<br />
by Peter Fitzsimons<br />
The mutiny on HMS Bounty, in the South Pacific on 28 April 1789,<br />
is one of history’s truly great stories - a tale of human drama,<br />
intrigue and adventure of the highest order - and in the hands of<br />
Peter FitzSimons it comes to life as never before. Commissioned<br />
by the Royal Navy to collect breadfruit plants from Tahiti and take<br />
them to the West Indies, the Bounty’s crew found themselves in<br />
a tropical paradise. Five months later, they did not want to leave.<br />
Under the leadership of Fletcher Christian most of the crew mutinied<br />
soon after sailing from Tahiti, setting Captain William Bligh and<br />
18 loyal crewmen adrift in a small open boat. In one of history’s<br />
great feats of seamanship, Bligh navigated this tiny vessel for 3618<br />
nautical miles to Timor. Fletcher Christian and the mutineers sailed<br />
back to Tahiti, where most remained and were later tried for mutiny.<br />
But Christian, along with eight fellow mutineers and some Tahitian<br />
men and women, sailed off into the unknown, eventually discovering the isolated Pitcairn Island - at<br />
the time not even marked on British maps - and settling there. This astonishing story is historical<br />
adventure at its very best,encompassing the mutiny, Bligh’s monumental achievement in navigating to<br />
safety, and Fletcher Christian and the mutineers’ own epic journey from the sensual paradise of Tahiti<br />
to the outpost of Pitcairn Island.<br />

Considerably sized and displaying modern<br />
finishes this impeccably styled home rises<br />
above the rest and offers unparalleled views<br />
from the highest position in Morgans Valley.<br />
The sizeable 2717m 2 site and its favourable<br />
microclimate location deliver outstanding<br />
peace and serenity with the exceptional<br />
outlook stretching from the hillside across to<br />
the city and out to the Southern Alps.<br />
Drawing on the contemporary aesthetic<br />
of the exterior, the interior of the home is<br />
streamlined and modern, with an exquisite<br />
kitchen and expansive open plan living area<br />
found at its heart.<br />
Granite benchtops, an entertainer’s oven and<br />
a breakfast bar ensure the kitchen is equally<br />
practical and eye-pleasing while a second<br />
lounge provides an alternative living area and<br />
contributes great flexibility for families.<br />
Tremendous gallery windows drench<br />
the home in natural light and capture the<br />
captivating vista, and when the sun is shining,<br />
you can soak up this scene and the sunshine<br />
from the balcony or private outdoor setting.<br />
Arranged over three floors and hosting a<br />
total of four bedrooms and two bathrooms, the<br />
upper level is naturally devoted to the master<br />
suite which features a walk-in wardrobe and<br />
ensuite.<br />
Also forming part of the floor plan is a<br />
separate laundry, an internal access garage<br />
with storage and two heat pumps which offer<br />
comfort and convenience.<br />
Situated in the calming environment of<br />
Heathcote Valley by Heathcote Valley school,<br />
it’s an easy drive from Lyttelton Port and<br />
various coastal suburbs, and the CBD is less<br />
than 20 minutes’ drive away. This property<br />
also provides a large back section which is<br />
a blank canvas for growing fruit trees or for<br />
those garden lovers wishing to potter away.<br />
The vendors are firmly committed to selling,<br />
and their immaculately presented home is<br />
destined for a change of ownership.<br />
Current GV: $870,000.<br />
