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 />

she said.<br />

The tug’s first passenger cruise<br />

in three years was originally<br />

scheduled to take place in<br />

December but was pushed back<br />

to January and then February.<br />

However, it is now looking<br />

unlikely to happen before this<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 />

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 />

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 />

has won several premier<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 />

BAY HARBOUR<br />

PAGE 21<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 />
