Hero reopens Redcliffs store 

• By Louis Day 

“THAT’S WHAT keeps us 

strong, the love and support 

from the people.” 

These are the words of 

Abdul Aziz after reopening his 

store in Redcliffs for the first 

time since the March 15 

shootings. 

Mr Aziz was one of the 

heroes who emerged from the 

tragedies. 

He confronted the alleged 

gunman when he began shooting 

people at the Linwood 

Mosque. 

Mr Aziz threw an Eftpos 

machine at the accused gunman 

and eventually chased him 

away.

with one of the many 

messages of support 

he has received. 

Mr Aziz told Bay Harbour

to business and a sense of 

normality at his antiques and

after reopening on Sunday.

AUCTION 

Retrospective 

resource 

consent 

sought for 

Akaroa toilets 


AFTER BEING threatened 

with legal action over the 

“unlawful” placement of toilets, 

the city council has applied for a 

retrospective resource consent. 

The city council did not apply 

for resource consent before placing 

Portacom 

toilets on the 

Britomart 

Reserve in 

Akaroa. 

They were 

constructed 

on the reserve 

in front of 

the Bruce 

Waterfront 

Apartments 

in December to cater for the 

Prudence 

Steven 

increasing number of cruise ship 

passengers coming to the area. 

Lawyer Prudence Steven representing 

the body corporate for the 

apartments described the placement 

of the toilets as “unlawful.” 

“It is an offence under the Resource 

Management Act if you do 

something with your land that is 

not either permitted or authorised 

by a resource consent, so what 

they have done is an offence under 

the act,” she said.

Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi 

from the reporter’s desk 

IT’S GREAT to see Abdul Aziz reopening his store in Redcliffs 

for the first time since the March 15 shootings. 

A lot of credit has to go to the community which has rallied 

around him, and his family, in such a difficult time. 

When speaking to him he told me he was overwhelmed and 

incredibly moved by the kindness and compassion shown by 

people across the community. 

Also great news to see the city council apply for a retrospective 

resource consent for the controversial toilets on the 

Britomart Reserve. 

However, a spokesman for the body corporate said it was a 

case of “too little too late” with cruise ship season set to end this 

month. It will be interesting to see how things pan out should 

the toilets return to the reserve next season.

Akaroa ignored by council – survey 


A SURVEY in Akaroa has 

revealed a number of residents 

feel like their town is being 

ignored by the city council. 

The survey created by the 

Akaroa Ratepayers and Residents 

Association found that 75 per 

cent of respondents 

felt the 

performance of 

city council was 

unacceptable. 

The survey 

was completed 

Harry 

Stronach 

by 162 Akaroa 

residents. 

Akaroa 

Ratepayers and 

Residents Association president 

Harry Stronach said people feel 

like the area has been neglected 

and ignored by the city council. 

By margins of typically five 

to one, respondents felt that 

maintenance of the township, including 

footpaths, seawalls, and 

toilets, were not being carried 

out to an acceptable level. 

However, Deputy Mayor and 

Banks Peninsula councillor Andrew 

Turner said the city council 

had put a significant amount of 

resources into the town. 

“If that is the way people feel, 

that is the way people feel,” he 

said.

www.fourseasonstreecare.co.nz 

“I am aware of some of the 

issues around maintenance and 

they are by no means exclusive to 

Akaroa or the peninsula. There 

are plenty of other areas in the 

city where there have been issues 

raised around maintenance in 

places like New Brighton, the 

truth is we still remain a city that 

is recovering from the earthquakes.” 

Mr Stronach said the way 

the city council has dealt with 

cruise ships in Akaroa was also 

part of the dissatisfaction from 

residents. 

“The majority do want to see 


NEGLECT: Akaroa residents feel like they are being ignored by the city council according to a 

recent survey. 

cruise ships controlled, I would 

say most of them just want a 

sensible amount of cruise ships 

and appropriate infrastructure to 

deal with it in place,” he said. 

Eighty per cent of respondents 

said that infrastructure for cruise 

ships was inadequate. 

Sixty-nine per cent also felt 

the number of cruise ships 

should be limited, with the average 

number proposed being 40 

per year. 

That is less than half of the 92 

cruise ships which were scheduled 

for the 2018-2019 season. 

However, Akaroa business 

owner Darin Rainbird said the 

results from the survey were not 

a true reflection of how Akaroa 

residents really felt. 

Mr Rainbird started a letter of 

support for cruise ships to come 

to Akaroa which gained 310 

signatures within a week. 

“It’s fairly obvious how Akaroa 

residents feel,” he said. 

He said a significant reduction 

in cruise ship numbers would 

be detrimental to the local 

economy. 

“If we lost half the ships we 

have probably got 50 to 60 job 

losses.”

Community support ‘overwhelming’ 

•From page 1 

City council manager 

of community parks Al 

Hardy said the failure to 

gain resource consent for 

the toilets was an oversight 

by staff. 

Ms Steven asked the city 

council to apply for a retrospective 

resource consent, 

to which the city council 

did. 

However, a spokesman 

for the body corporate 

believed the city council 

was stalling the processing 

of the application so the 

toilets would not have to be 

removed before the end of 

the cruise ship season. 

The application for retrospective 

resource consent 

was placed on hold and is 

currently awaiting further 

information. 

The application has been 

given a deadline of April 15 

to be completed. 

The 2018/2019 cruise ship 

season ends on April 13.

REMNANT PILES which have 

plagued Naval Point for 19 years 

are set to be removed. 

The 52 piles have been at 

Naval Point since 2000 after the

was devastated in a storm. 

The work is scheduled to begin 

this month and is expected to 

take a month to complete.

Darren Moses 

said the 

project would 

cost between 

$250,000 and

Removing the 

piles will also contribute to the 

Lyttelton Port Company’s land 

reclamation project where they 

are working towards extending 

the container terminal by another 

6ha on top of the existing 

10ha of reclaimed land. 

The port company has a 

barge owned by Smiths Crane

will be used for the pile removal. 

The city council also has further

A community trap build will be

LIGHT SHOW: The Lyttelton Port Company’s new navigation 

aids have been lighting up the harbour and disturbing Diamond 

Harbour residents at night. 

Residents up in arms 

over new navigation aids 


DIAMOND HARBOUR 

residents are up in arms over 

the new navigation aids that are 

lighting up the harbour and their 

living rooms at night. 

The aids were put in place by 

the Lyttelton Port Company to 

help guide ships through the 

harbour. 

They have been lighting up the 

harbour since mid-January. 

Resident Nathan Graham described 

the flashing red and green 

navigation aids as looking like 

“a Christmas-themed accident 

scene.” 

“It’s about going from beautiful 

nights with nothing out there, 

you could almost pretend Lyttelton 

didn’t exist to all of a sudden 

these flashing lights,” he said. 

Mr Graham said the lights 

from the aids would flash into 

his living room and bedroom at 

night. 

Diamond Harbour resident 

Anna Mahy described the navigation 

aids as “disco lights.” 

“If there is low cloud the sky 

lights up with every flash,” she 

said. 

Mr Graham hoped some sort of 

compromise could be made. 

“It is really important to have 

really safe shipping channels 

but it would be great if the lights 

could be dimmed or their frequency 

adjusted so they only go 

off when ships are actually in the 

harbour.” 

LPC strategic engagement 

manager Phil de Joux said they 

were working on a resolution that 

would please all involved parties. 

“There are international standards 

for light intensity, but we 

have been working within those 

guidelines to see what level the 

lights can operate and still ensure 

marine safety is not compromised,” 

he said.

Call to extend library 

hours in Diamond Harbour 


ANNABELLE Wear’s eight 

and 12-year-old sons read 

at least 40 books between 

them in the space of a 

week. 

Mrs Wear is on a mission 

to extend the Diamond 

Harbour Library’s hours in 

order to satisfy their reading 

appetite. 

“I can’t afford their habit, 

I just can’t afford to buy the 

amount of books they get 

through,” she said. 

Mrs Wear started a 

petition to extend the 

library’s hours to 38 hours a 

week which was submitted 

to the city council’s draft 

Annual Plan. 

The petition gained 251 

signatures in just eight 

days. 

The Diamond Harbour 

Library is currently open 

13 hours a week. 

Twelve-year-old Campbell 

and eight-year-old 

Joshua spend on average 

25 hours a week reading 

books. 

“I want a bigger library 

as well, Campbell has just 

about read all the books in 

there now.” 

BOOK WORMS: Twelve-year-old Campbell and 

eight-year-old Joshua both read 20 books a week. 

Banks Peninsula 

Community Board 

member Felix Dawson 

said the library was a 

fundamental part of the 

community. 

“The library is a key 

service in Diamond 

Harbour, I am going to 

ask the board to review 

the service, it is probably 

one of the smaller libraries 

and the school community 

is only growing,” he said.

A competition to name 

the new truck is being held

Mr Norris said the pupil that

Land gift keeps 

riding school 

operating

THE HEATHCOTE Valley Riding 

School will live on following a 

change of land ownership. 

After 36 years of ownership, 

14ha of land within the Heathcote 

Valley was gifted by Heathcote 

Recreational Holdings Ltd to the 

newly formed Kahukura Charitable 

Trust. 

A small ceremony was held on 

Sunday to mark the transition of 

ownership, led with a Karakia by 

Uekaha Taane. 

The land has been home to the 

Heathcote Valley Riding School 

for the last 30 years. 

Aisjah Addison who started the 

riding school said it would continue 

under the trust. 

“The land has shown us what 

to keep doing and now we want it 

protected for the future and keep 

giving children the opportunity to 

learn, so that the land – the heart 

of the valley – will remain open 

and green forever,” she said. 

Heathcote Ward city councillor 

Sara Templeton was delighted to

Crashing the entertainers’ stage 

A FEW columns back I boldly 

claimed we would be working 

towards getting Vittoria back 

into sleeping in the cot. 

Guess how many times 

she’s slept in the cot since 

then? 

Once and it was a nap. Oh 

well, I guess being woken up by 

being kicked in the head is my 

life still. 

Anyway, on Monday I took 

Vittoria to a kid’s music show 

at The Piano. I’d never been 

there before and the only other 

show by Cubbin Theatre I’d 

been to was in an enclosed 

room. 

Seeing the setting for 

this show was a little bit of a 

shock. 

Vittoria is so full on these 

days that the high stairs, easy 

to access stage, live band and 

other kids all around made 

me sure something would go 

wrong. 

Don’t get me wrong, it’s the 

perfect setting for what was a 

great show. I was just worried it 

was not the perfect setting for 

Vittoria. 

In the intense glare of my 

own imagined spotlight, I 

could already see the scathing 

glares of the mums as she fell 

over on the stairs or grabbed 

an instrument off the stage. 

I grabbed our seats, put the 

nappy bag down then stood 

up and followed Vittoria up 

the stairs. Then down the

stairs. Then up the 

stairs. 

When the music started 

Vittoria was happy dancing 

along and slowly climbed 

down the stairs to boogie in 

front of the stage. 

Suddenly she made her move 

on the stage. My nightmare 

was coming true. 

I grabbed her three times 

before she decided we would 

go to the top of the stairs to 

dance. 

Once she’d got me into a false 

sense of security, she rushed 

to the other side of the theatre 

(somehow collecting a pretzel 

on the way) and down the 

stairs. 

Before I could get to her she 

was on the stage. 

Oh God. Sweat is beading on 

my forehead. My mind races 

with thoughts of the audience 

judging me. Vittoria ran to the 

back, waved at one musician 

came back to the front to play 

with something on the stage 

and then ran off to the other 

side where I managed to grab 

her. 

She didn’t touch any 

instruments or get me into 

trouble, so all good. 

Bring on the next show.

lend a helping hand 

On Wednesday 20th March, the Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead team 

lent a helping hand to the rudolf Steiner School in Opawa. 

The team were on site bright and early at 6:30am to 

get stuck into doing up an old shed, making it a more 

suitable space for teaching. The building, an original 

from when the school was first built, was in need of 

a lot of love and care. In order to breathe life back 

into the space the team got stuck 

in whitewashing the newly plyed 

walls, repainting the ceiling and 

sanding and staining the exterior. A 

new partition wall was built, a new 

door with locks was hung and the 

wooden floors were given a good 

sand and new cladding was fixed 

to the existing framing of the green 

house. With 10 in the team and 

some of the school parents lending 

a hand we were able to get through 

most of jobs by the end of a long 11 

hour day. Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead 

spokeswoman Leah Ingram said “We would not have 

been able to complete this project without the help 

of our many suppliers who came on board. From ply, 

paint and lighting to the cladding for the green house 

and tools to complete the job. Thank you.”

On behalf of the Christchurch Rudolf Steiner School and the Parent & Child group, we would like to take this 

opportunity to thank you for the transformation that took place on the horticulture building at the centre of our 

school garden. 

The building was one of the founding buildings from when the school was first established, and with your help 

and generosity new life has been breathed into it. It has gone from being an old and somewhat tired building, 

housing gardening equipment, to a clean and beautiful multipurpose building, not only for its primary use as the 

horticulture lesson space but now also to house our Parent & Child Group for children ages 0-4. In addition it has 

the potential for it to be used by our school community as a music recital room, community craft group sessions, 

workshops and even a gallery exhibition evenings. 

You may think that you have just provided the people and the materials, but actually you have rejuvenated this 

area of the school and inspired families to appreciate and engage more fully in the incredible garden resource we 

have. Different groups have come together to make this huge project happen, and ensured that the parent and 

child group has a home. 

This project with you has been a catalyst for positive community engagement and the change makes this building 

now multipurpose learning space. 

Heartfelt thanks from us all.

Our People 

Rebecca Gibbs 

Diamond Harbour artist embraces 

Diamond Harbour 

illustrator Rebecca 

Gibbs recently 

published her first 

colouring book, Animals 

of Aotearoa, and has 

illustrated the Rancho 

Cucamunga Kids books. 

The former teacher, who 

suffers from alopecia, 

a condition causing 

hair loss, also made a 

video which went viral 

after she launched her 

wedding ring into space. 

Sophie Cornish finds out 

more 

You describe yourself proudly 

as an alopecian? Tell me about 

your illness and journey with it? 

I have an auto immune disease 

and the alopecia is a symptom of 

that. I have always had thyroid 

issues, which is linked to your 

function overall. You always 

hear about what stress and poor 

mental health can do to your 

body. I got married really young 

to a not very nice person. It took 

me a while to get out of that 

and back on my feet. I started 

teaching straight out of teachers 

college, straight out of high 

school, so I was a really young 

teacher. 

I think that my body had kept 

me going for all those years 

and then when things started 

to go smoothly, my body just 

malfunctioned, my brain was 

under so much pressure and my 

hair was suddenly the enemy. I 

went from having waist length 

strawberry blonde hair to being 

completely bald in three months. 

It was hard for me to lose control 

of my body, also the fact it’s 

so obvious. I couldn’t teach 

physically without getting unwell. 

If I do more than two days in a 

row, I am in bed with migraines. 

It’s been weird, I have always 

been reasonably fit my whole life, 

doing tramping, mountaineering 

and rock climbing. So it’s weird 

not being able to walk the dog for 

45 minutes without having to rest 

for 45 minutes afterwards. I am 

putting all my experience into 

a new book called Miss Cook’s 

New Look, about a bald teacher 

who turns up to school one day. 

That is who I am, people are 

always stopping me and saying 

“oh you are really brave” but I 

don’t think it’s brave, there’s just 

not enough of us to go around 

who feel confident to wear it. I 

meet people who feel great in 

a wig, and that’s great. I just 

can’t be bothered dealing with 

the emotional energy of trying 

to hide it. Some people have 

alopecia genetically, or they get it 

as a child, or it comes and goes. 

There are three types of alopecia 

and I have the universalis type, 

which means hair does not grow 

on your whole body at all. I’m 

like a little naked frog. It’s great 

because I save on shampoo and 

conditioner, razors, I’m always 

beach-ready. With my thyroid, I 

have a lot of energy issues. I get 

really bad fatigue and anxiety, 

I have never had it before and it 

was very strange. I was 32-yearsold 

when I got my first bald 

patch. It was winter 2017 when I 

was first diagnosed. 

Tell me about the books you 

have illustrated and published 

so far? 

I published a children’s book 

in October called The Six-Foot 

Rats, with the New Zealand 

Anti-Vivisection Society. It 

actively campaigns to end 

animal experimentation in 

New Zealand. They are all 

about promoting human and 

computer-based models, rather 

than animal-based models, 

which are actually unreliable. 

I didn’t realise, until I was 

approached by them and did 

my research and I was pretty 

shocked. Then I got sick myself 

and looked at all the things being 

BOLD: Rebecca

and resources for

HUNTER 

done to cure my disease. It is 

really disheartening because it 

is all animal-based and is not 

going to translate into a cure for 

me in my lifetime. I am pretty 

passionate about that. 

The book is in the perspective 

of a lab rat. He thinks he is 

doing research for other rats 

and he finds out it is actually for 

humans. He has a bit of a meltdown 

and wants to leave, but he 

can’t because he is in a lab. Then 

NZAVS come in and save him 

at the last minute and he goes to 

live with them. It is the way of 

introducing the idea to kids. The 

thing that is most



BAY HARBOUR 

PAGE 11 

her new look with no regrets 

important to me is for the 

children to ask questions and 

be presented with factual 

information. I didn’t want to 

make the book scary in a way 

that would traumatise children. I 

wanted to explain it in a way that 

would plant the seed for children 

to be interested in science and 

about how nine out of 10 drugs 

that pass animal testing, fail 

human testing. That is a 90 per 

cent failure rate. It’s cruel and 

unnecessary. It was my first book 

that I have written or illustrated. 

I have gifted a percentage of my 

profits from it back to NZAVS. 

They now have 80 per cent of the 

money needed to get the book 

into every primary school library 

around New Zealand. I also had 

Dr Jane Goddall review my book, 

that was fantastic. 

What other work have you 

done as an illustrator and 

author? 

After I got sick I couldn’t really 

teach anymore, I found that 

physically it was too much. I had 

to find a way to utilise that part of 

my skill set and also pay the rent. 

So basically I started creating art 

resources that teachers could use 

to create really awesome art. It is 

a pre-packed activity – they don’t 

have to be great at art. 

They started off being murals, 

so the kids all get a piece and 

then they do the drawing and 

you put it all together and it 

creates a mural. I am integrating 

my Maori design and I ended up 

with about 20 of these resources. 

I was looking at the images and 

thought these would be great as 

a colouring book. I went back 

in and revised the designs and 

put together this book called 

Animals of Aotearoa. It is 

exciting and special to me. My 

aunty who passed away after a 

short illness with cancer just 

over a year ago, she was really 

into colouring. She had all the 

colouring books, she would sit 

there for hours colouring, so I 

wanted to create something really 

special that I could dedicate to 

her. So, that one’s for her. 

Tell me about the time you 

went viral on the internet? 

As I mentioned, I had a failed 

marriage. After the marriage 

ended he continued to bombard 

me on email and social media. 

I constantly had to change my 

accounts all the time. Then he 

started spamming me with 

our wedding video that was on 

YouTube. So I thought, I am 

going to talk in your language. 

At the time, I was dating a 

guy and his brother had some 

association with rockets. So 

we decided to put together this 

rocket and we got permission 

to launch it. So, I put the ring 

in it and we drove out of town 

to launch it. It didn’t break the 

atmosphere, but it went very far 

away, it was definitely kilometres. 

As you do in the early 2010s, I 

mixed the video of it to a Beyonce 

song, Best Thing I’ve Never Had 

and posted it as a reply. 

One of my friends saw it and 

shared it and next thing I knew I 

was getting a call from reporters 

asking me about it. I spoke to 

them, but they got lots of things 

wrong. They got so much wrong 

that it was almost damaging to 

my then boyfriend and his family 

at the time. They were put in the 

deep end because the reporter 

INSPIRATION: Rebecca Gibbs in 2015 before she developed 

alopecia. She hasn’t let it hold her back and released her book 

The Six-Foot Rats last year to raise awareness about animal 

experimentation. 

actually misinterpreted what 

had gone on. So I took the video 

down and just tried to keep my 

head down. It was a bit of a bad 

experience actually. 

The Huffington Post went all 

through my Facebook page, 

searching my friends list until 

they found a friend who had 

limited privacy on their account 

and then went through their 

friend list until they found 

someone who had shared my 

post and uncovered all these 

posts and put them online. 

I did receive a lot of emails 

from people saying “that was 

awesome, that was just what 

I needed to see and hear” and 

telling me about their marriage 

problems and men who were 

invading their online space. So 

that made it well worth it. He 

stopped also, he sent me an email 

saying “point taken.” 

I wish I had more control over 

the narrative. I felt really bad 

because it was something funny 

and a symbolic, kind of online 

anonymous thing, suddenly 

turned into a big stink. But, I 

don’t regret things, because they 

turn you into the people you 

are. 

What’s it like living in 

Diamond Harbour? Why there? 

It’s so good – don’t tell anyone. 

I moved here because around 

about the time I got sick, my 

aunt also got sick. She was 

diagnosed with terminal cancer 

and her diagnoses and passing 

away was in a short period of 

time, about six weeks. After 

going through something like 

that, it put things in perspective. 

I wanted to move, I didn’t 

want to do another winter in 

Christchurch. I saw there was a 

little place in Diamond Harbour 

that was cheap, plus she let me 

have my dog. It’s awesome, it’s 

like growing up in Gisborne, 

everyone is friendly, people 

drop off baking, I chat with the 

neighbours kids over the fence. 

It’s a great place to be if you are 

an illustrator, I am being inspired 

just outside my window. Right 

now I’m looking at the light on 

the dry hills and tomorrow it’s 

going to be raining and horrible, 

but that will be great too. There is 

no ugly concrete or cars.

Heathcote 

Ward city 

councillor Sara 

Templeton 

discusses the 

reopening of 

Sumner Rd 

THE REOPENING of Sumner 

Rd last week was a huge step 

forward eight years after the 

earthquake that so badly damaged 

it and cut access between 

the communities of Sumner and 

Lyttelton. 

The road has long been a popular 

scenic and recreation route 

for the community and visitors 

alike, and the reopening will also 

help support local businesses. 

Popping over the hill to visit 

friends and shop will be easy 

once again and I know that I’m 

really looking forward to being 

able to loop around from my 

home in Heathcote Valley. 

It was a difficult project, but 

the final design limited the 

landscape changes that Diamond 

Harbour residents were initially 

concerned about. Around 

100,000 cu m of rock was still 

removed though and it’s good to 

see some of it being used in the 

building of the Coastal Pathway. 

The project also came in $15m 

under the initial budget at $45m. 

Sumner has had limited access 

with only one road in and out 

for a long time and the improved 

access is welcomed. 

However, the community 

board is aware of concerns that 

some residents have expressed 

about having the dangerous 

goods and oversized vehicles 

driving through their communities 

on the way to the port again, 

and will be working with staff to 

address issues. 

The reopening will free up the 

Lyttelton Tunnel from the many 

closures due to the transport of 

dangerous goods between the 

port and the city. 

As use of the road increases, 

please keep an eye out for each 

other, be patient and share the 

space. 

There will be a temporary 

slower speed limit for a few 

months and a recent consultation 

on permanently lowering the 

speed to 60km/h here and along 

Summit Rd is going through a 

process at the moment.

Port Hills MP 

Ruth Dyson 

reflects 

on Friday’s 

National 

Remembrance 

Service and 

the March 15 

tragedies 

NOTHING COULD have 

prepared us for the shock of the 

terrorist attack on two Christchurch 

mosques on March 15. Not 

earthquakes, floods or fires – all 

of which we are familiar with 

here. 

The shock was quickly followed 

by grief. The loss of so many 

innocent lives – men, women 

and children – who were praying 

when their lives were taken. 

But the response of our communities 

has been to show love 

and support. It has happened in 

so many ways – flowers, cards, 

baking, messages, money. All 

given in love and sorrow. The 

outpouring of support was extraordinary. 

It felt like the whole 

nation was pushing back on hate 

with kindness. 

But the words of Farid Ahmed, 

spoken at the National Remembrance 

Service last Friday, were 

even more extraordinary. He said 

he had forgiven the man who 

killed his beloved wife. He said 

he didn’t want to have a heart 

that was like a volcano about to 

explode. He said he wanted a 

heart that was full of love. 

This is bigger than compassion 

and forgiveness. This is a lesson 

in how to respond to bad things 

– and that should be with good 

things. The greeting shared by 

all those of Muslim faith is As 

Salamu Alaykum – peace be 

upon you. 

I know that over the last two 

and a half weeks, everyone in 

New Zealand and so many 

around the world have felt pain 

and sorrow over these events. But 

we have so much to be thankful 

for here as well. 

The passersby who stopped 

and risked their own well-being 

to help others, the front line 

responders – police, ambulance 

and fire service, the amazing 

health system staff, the school 

staff who kept our children safe 

well after normal closing time, 

and all those who have offered 

their love and support since that 

dark day. Thank you. 

That is New Zealand. As 

Salamu Alaykum. Peace be upon 

you.

This is a collection of recent work from Llew, half of which has not been 

shown before. One group, on mythic themes, explores the human condition 

metaphorically. The remaining work treats the human body in Llew’s traditional 

manner, exploring the joy of movement as a celebration of life. All the bronzes are 

initially carved in wood or marble and are from editions of seven.

This printmaking technique which I have 

developed, came about from my explorations with 

harakeke / NZ flax and fine art over many years. 

I sought to bring these threads 

together and plait them into one 

form of expression. I make the 

figures, objects and textures, 

and hand print them in different 

colours and compositions to make 

one-off but related pictures. I am 

also hoping to evoke an emotional 

response to the material itself.

traditions around the gathering and

processing of it, has taught me much about our 

place in the universe. It would be great to see 

a resurgence of natural materials 

such as harakeke into everyday use, 

and for us to continue to innovate 

alternatives to single-use plastics. 

More broadly, my work asks 

questions about how we see 

ourselves in relation to our 

environment and to each other. In 

this body of work I am considering 

my relationship with Llew, my love, 

and with the concept of Love itself.

SUMNER RUNNING Club 

was in full force at the Sea to 

Sky triathlon and duathlon on 

Sunday. 

The race included a 750m sea 

swim, 2km run for duathletes, 

19km bike ride up Evans Pass and 

along the Summit Rd to the top 

of Mt Pleasant then out to Godley 

Head. 

At Godley Head competitors 

swapped their bikes for their 

running shoes and ran to Taylors 

Mistake then up and over Whitewash 

Head to Sumner finishing 

on the Esplanade beside the clock 

tower. 

Sumner Running Club had 

several athletes competing in the 

duathlon all of whom took out 

podium places. 

Katherine Fitch was first in the 

40-49 age group, David Fitch was 

second in the 40-49 age group 

and Graham Batchelor was first 

in the 70+ age group. 

The triathlon also attracted 

some world-class competitors. 

This year’s Taupo Ironman 

champion Mike Phillips won the 

triathlon while Olympian and 

Commonwealth Games athlete 

Andrea Hewitt won the women’s 

division, taking out third place 

overall. 

GOLD: Katherine Fitch was 

all smiles after taking out first 

place in the 40-49 duathlon.

SURF’S UP: Mike Lay from Cornwall, England, took out the 

men’s competition.

A SCORELESS first half wasn’t 

the start to the premier rugby 

season Sumner we’re after as 

they fell to Christchurch 21-46 

at the weekend. 

Playing into a strong wind 

in the first half, Sumner knew 

they would be up against it. 

However, the 20-point difference 

was too much to overcome 

playing with the wind in the 

second half. 

“We helped them along the 

way with an intercept and by 


SURFERS FROM all across the 

world battled it out at Sumner’s 

Single Fin Mingle. 

The fifth installment of the 

surfing festival attracted 85 

surfers which made for a tight 

competition. 

The men’s competition was 

taken out by Mike Lay from 

Cornwall, England. Josh Woolet 

from the Sunshine Coast came 

in second and Eurico Romaguera 

from Portugal snatched third 

place ahead of Sumner’s Luke 

O’Neil. 

Dunedin’s Daisy Thomas came 

in first place in the women’s 

competition, followed by Ivy 

Thomas from the Gold Coast, 

handing them some other 

points,” said Dodgson. 

“We actually got back into 

with two very good tries to start 

the second half . . . then they 

worked it well for a try and you 

could see just a bit of energy 

seep out of us and to be fair 

they probably dominated us in 

contact.” 

There was also an injury toll 

from the weekend with two 

players paying visits to the 

hospital. Winger Tom Ziolo suffered 

a broken collarbone while 

Rosin Carolan from Byron Bay 

with New Brighton’s Tegan 

Bishop coming in at fourth. 

Ms Thomas had the highest 

heat total of the women’s and 

men’s finals, winning the grand 

prize of an all expenses paid 

trip to compete in the Gliding 

Barnacles festival in Portugal at 

the end of August. 

The Village Party which 

followed the competition was sold 

out and featured Sumner band 

The Butlers and Melbourne band 

China Beach. 

All the profits from the art 

show of American Ty William 

at LeStrange Gallery are being 

donated to Christchurch Muslim 

tragedy funds.

Wind proves difficult 

Mathew Tuala Fili suffered a 

finger injury. 

“It’s the weirdest injury I’ve 

ever seen,” said Dodgson. 

“It was like a pealed banana, 

but his bone and ligaments were 

fine.” 

Dodgson says it will be a case 

of next man up, as they prepare 

for this Saturday’s match against 

a Shirley side whom opened 

their account with a 21-16 win 

over Marist Albion. Saturday’s 

game kicks off at Burwood Park 

at 2.15pm.

Mitsubishi Triton a perfect load carrier 

Motoring 

Ross Kiddie 

I’M LEFT disappointed if I 

have a vehicle and don’t drive 

it somewhere near to its full 

potential, especially if it’s a ute. 

So when I recently had 

Mitsubishi’s new Triton I 

put it to very good use. I had 

purchased a bulky Trade Me item 

from Dunedin and I used the 

evaluation vehicle to make a oneday 

return trip. 

Almost eight hundred 

kilometres of highway running 

certainly didn’t test the Triton’s 

comprehensive Super Select II 

four-wheel-drive capability, but 

the excursion served to prove 

how comfortable and capable the 

modern ute is on a long journey. 

I felt fresh when I got home and 

was left understanding why utes 

are now the vehicle of choice for 

some family buyers. 

The Triton is all new for 2019, 

and while it gets a fresh look and 

upgraded engineering, it still has 

the same engine and basic chassis 

and suspension elements. That’s 

a good thing, the Triton can mix 

it with the market front-runners, 

and the way 

it sits in the market, constantly 

sitting around third place in 

terms of sales behind Ford’s 

Ranger and Holden’s Colorado 

means it is very much a preferred 

option. 

The evaluation ute was a highgrade 

VRX-specced double cab 

with automatic transmission. 

The latter is an all-new six-speed 

type, it is a beauty with smooth 

shifts, and in VRX form it also 

has a paddle-shift sequential 

mechanism. In this specification 

the Triton is priced at $62,990 

which, to my way of thinking, 

is good value considering its 

specification level and how well it 

stacks up to the opposition. 

Major items include leather 

trim, keyless entry and ignition, 

cruise control and speed 

limiter (perfect for the long 

straight roads heading out of 

Canterbury), rear view reversing 

camera, and a host of advanced 

safety features. 

Under the bonnet sits a 2.4-litre 

four-cylinder turbocharged diesel 

engine. It is rated at 135kW with 

437Nm of torque, both figures 

are realised low in the rev band 

at 3500rpm and 2500rpm. Even 

though it is diesel-fed it is a 

lively engine and gets about 

its work willingly, it it also one 

of the quietest engines in its 

MITSUBISHI TRITON: At home on the highway or off-road trails. 

class, and that’s a credit to the 

engineers – getting a big block 

four-potter to work smoothly 

takes some doing. It is evident 

that the Triton has the benefit of 

much soundproofing and it has 

a well refined engine in the first 

instance. 

A lot of development has also 

been carried out to cut down fuel 

use, it is now to the point where 

an 8.6-litre per 100km (33mpg) 

combined cycle can be claimed. 

On my journey south the 

trip computer was constantly 

listing at around that figure with 

a 6l/100km (47mpg) readout 

showing at a steady 100km/h, the 

engine just loping over gently at 

1700rpm. If you are doing long 

highway hauls, those figures 

mean large fuel cost savings. 

On the subject of figures, the 

Triton four-wheel-drive has a 

tow rating of 3500kg and it will 

haul a payload of 905kg in a deck 

area measuring 1520mm x 1470 

x 475mm (depending on deck 

liner). It also has a useful 220mm 

of ground clearance, all of these 

figures are right up with market 

demand. 

The test ute was riding on 18in 

wheels with quite chunky 265/60 

Bridgestone Dueler tyres. Even so, 

they ride quietly, even on coarse 

chip seal, they also offer direct 

feedback through the steering. 

Utes aren’t known for their ideal 

handling but it was nice to have 

some surety when I pushed 

quickly through the tricky corners 

• Price – Mitsubishi Triton 

VRX, $62,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

5305mm; width, 1815mm; 

height, 1795mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

four-wheel-drive, 

2442cc, 135kW, 437Nm, 

six-speed automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 9sec 

• Fuel usage – 8.6l/100km 

between Oamaru and Dunedin. 

The Triton has handling ability 

unrealistic for a working vehicle 

built on a ladder chassis and load 

bearing live rear axle. 

Interestingly, Mitsubishi still 

has a manual gearbox option 

on Triton and that would be 

the model for me; however, 

the new automatic adds to the 

sophistication, and with all of 

the ingredients in place to make 

the driving process smooth, it 

is certainly a standout vehicle 

which has a major role in the 

working environment. 

Today’s pick-up buyer is 

reaping of the benefits of long 

and gradual development 

processes. It’s no wonder our 

market is led by utes, the Triton is 

a vehicle you can comfortably put 

the family in for that trip into the 

high country, skifield access road, 

or to the beach for a swim or surf. 

It’s also the quintessential tow 

and carry vehicle.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile

However, the public has li tle 

interest in having input into the

Only eight submi sions were 

received for a potential bylaw 

aimed at regulating commercial

The district council wi l be 

holding a hearing for the Public 

Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial 

Activities and Events in 

Public Places. 

A hearing i scheduled to be 

held on Thursday. 

The bylaw comes as an increasing 

number of mobile traders 

are s eking to operate in Selwyn, 

especia ly during the summer 

months. 

In the past year, the district 

council has received five inquiries 

about se ting up a mobile busine s

THE PAPANUI-I nes 

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition 

to figh the city council over 

funding. 

Signatures are being co lected 

in a bid to get funding for a community 

facility in Shirley. 

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre 

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the 

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This 

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. 

The removal o funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stand down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act 

as advocate for the interests of its 

community and this is what we 

are doing. The LTP and a nual 

plans are a l about lo bying the 

council.”

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave 

Rock Apartments ar expecting the 

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek. 

Body corporate chairman Mike 

White said the group had gone 

into mediation with IAG and EQC 

on February 20, and signed off 

on a deal with IAG on February 

2 – coincidenta ly seven years 

to the day after the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. However, they 

are waiting for EQC to sign the 

agr ement. 

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted 

the agr ement, there’ l be no 

problem with them doing that.” 

The apartment suffered damage 

in the February and June, 20 1, 

earthquakes and were demolished in 

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the 

difference betw en indemnity value, 

$10 million, and the sum insured, 

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body 

corporate. 

The mediation agr ement 

prevented Mr White from disclosing 

the se tlement amount, but he said it 

involved the two parties paying “a bit 

more money than they’d wanted to 

earlier.”
