PHOTO: DANE CREIGHTON • By Louis Day MORE THAN 600 surfers paddled out from Scarborough beach on Saturday to remember the victims of the mosque shootings. The surfers formed a circle in the ocean and 50 white flowers were placed in the middle to represent each victim. This was followed by a minute’s silence on the water. Hundreds of additional flowers of different colours were then thrown into the circle. One of the organisers Randi Senger saw the memorial paddle as the perfect way for Sumner to pay tribute to the victims. “Living out in Sumner, surfing is kind of a way of life for us, so we saw it as a fitting way to pay respects,” she said. •Turn to page 8 Local Knowledge, Experience & Results P 03 384 7950 M 0274 318 960 E alison.carter@harcourts.co.nz Licenced Sales Consultant REAA 2008 Online stoush over night loading at port • By Louis Day THE LYTTELTON Port Company’s decision to stop loading scrap metal at night has been criticised by a former employee. The move to cease the loading work in the inner harbour between 11pm and 7am was prompted by noise complaints from residents. Banks Peninsula Community Board member Jed O’Donoghue, who complained about the noise, announced LPC’s decision on the Lyttelton Ain’t no Place I’d Rather Be Facebook group page. The announcement was then criticised in the comments section of the post by Ken Wilson, who claims to be a former LPC stevedore – a person who loads and unloads ships. Said Mr O’Donoghue in his post: “I made a noise complaint about 2am one morning . . . I probably wasn’t the only one [to complain] but thank you LPC for acknowledging Lyttelton residents.” •Turn to page 4 Local Team Local Knowledge 17 Years local experience 100% Auction Success Rate SOLD For The Past 2 Years Prier Manson Real Estate Ltd Licensed (REAA 2008) Anna & Bronny Anna Loader 027272 7128 Bronny Clifford 021 272 7718 21 Humphreys Drive, Ferrymead Looking for a mortgage broker? lending for buying, building or renovating your new home Refinancing home loans to get best possible interest rates available and a structure to suit your goal Lending for purchase of rental and investment properties Business lending A service that is totally mobile and at NO COST to you www.stephaniemurray.mortgage MichelleLindsayMortgageAdvisor Michelle lindsay Mortgage advisor Phone 021 346 265
