Akaroa 

– council 

• By Louis Day 

THE CITY council is “working 

hard” to ease Akaroa residents’ 

concerns that it is neglecting their 

town. 

Last week Bay Harbour News 

reported a survey undertaken 

by the Akaroa Ratepayers and 

Residents Association found 75 

per cent of respondents felt the 

city council’s performance was 

unacceptable. 

The survey was completed 

by 162 residents. Association 

president Harry Stronach said 

people feel like the city council 

has ignored the area. 

However, a city council 

spokesperson said it is 

working to ease residents’ 

concerns. 

“We understand there is 

some frustration among the 

community in Akaroa and we 

have been working hard on the 

issues that have been identified,” 

the spokesperson said. 

“In 2016 the Akaroa Issues 

Working Group was formed 

to improve maintenance of 

Akaroa services and facilities by 

addressing concerns raised by 

submitters to the 2016/17 Annual 

Plan.”

YOU HAVE to hand it to Chris Todd (see 

page 1). 

Chris, who has terminal cancer, has just 

completed a cycle of the Crown Range, 

after a week earlier riding the reopened 

Sumner Rd. 

The Sumner woman calls the 27 tumours on her liver, the 

fockers. After her Crown Range ride she told reporter Julia 

Evans: “I focked the fockers.” 

Her cycling challenge ends this weekend in Wellington. 

You have to admire Chris’ attitude and determination to 

tick-off, as she calls it, her bucket list. 

It can’t be easy facing what she is going through, but Chris 

is taking the challenge to the fockers. I’m sure it is great 

inspiration to others in the same situation. 

Focking good in my book.

RULES AROUND shellfish 

collection in the Avon-Heathcote 

Estuary could change in 

response to a potentially 

declining population. 

A Ministry for Primary 

Industries spokeswoman 

said their recent research 

suggested there could be 

declining cockle biomass in 

parts of the estuary. 

“We are currently assessing 

what management interventions 

may be necessary. This could 

include increased signage, 

commissioning a biomass survey 

of the Avon-Heathcote Estuary 

next year, or reviewing the rules 

and regulations for recreational 

shellfish collection in the 

estuary,” she said. 

“The research indicated that in 

general, people were unaware of 

current management practices in 

the estuary.” 

She indicated that overharvesting 

could possibly pose a 

threat to the bird population. 

“There are some international 

studies, conducted in areas with 

very high cockle harvesting that 

suggest bird populations can be 

negatively impacted by shellfish 

harvesting.” 

The recreational daily bag limit 

for cockles is 150 per person per 

day. 

The shellfish catch limit in the

estuary has not changed since 

1986. 

Last year researcher Stephanie 

Hampson found that cockle 

numbers had fallen dramatically 

between 2012 and 2017. 

Ms Hampson said the combination 

of poor nutrients in 

the water and pressure from 

collecting was responsible for the 

serious decline in numbers. 


Shellfish gathering rules could change 

CONCERNED: Stephanie Hampson’s research into the health of shellfish found that cockle 

numbers had fallen dramatically between 2012 and 2017. There are concerns bird numbers 

will suffer as a result.

She said the results indicated 

the catch limit of 150 cockles per 

person per day was too high and 

needed to be reduced or even a 

ban put in place. 

Avon-Heathcote Estuary 

Ihutai Trust chairman Kit 

Doudney said they would fully 

support a review of rules and 

regulations. 

He said studies from the trust 

also found that shellfish numbers 

had considerably fallen. 

Mr Doudney said the trust 

was growing concerned with the 

shellfish population. 

“We have noticed that every 

low tide there are up to 25 people 

gathering shellfish, which is a 

lot. We also see dogs at low tide 

accompanying their human 

gatherers,” he said.

Plants from memorial garden 

continue to disappear 


DISAPPOINTED: Our Lady Star of the Sea parish 

chairman Michael Hannifin is not happy someone is 

stealing the flowers from the memorial garden. 


FLOWERS FROM a 

memorial garden in 

Sumner are continuing to 

be stolen. 

Our Lady Star of the Sea’s 

memorial garden was setup 

in September to commemorate 

former members 

of the church who had 

passed away. 

Since then several flowers 

have been dug up and 

stolen overnight. 

Sharyn Lane, who helped 

set-up the garden, was 

shocked to see someone 

had stolen their 1.2m protea 

only two weeks after the 

mosque shootings. 

“Here we have this absolute 

tragedy, don’t we learn 

anything from tragedy in 

life? This has been horrible 

for people and then some 

bugger digs a flower up out 

of a memorial garden,” she 

said. 

Mrs Lane said they could 

not afford to keep replacing 

the stolen flowers and 

was concerned the garden 

might die. 

“I feel sick about it because 

you think they 

are going to steal the rest 

of plants and there are people 

giving us money 

in good faith to make 

the garden beautiful in 

memory of the loved ones 

they’ve lost.” 

Our Lady Star of the Sea 

parish chairman Michael 

Hannifin had a message for 

the thief. 

“Bring them back and 

there won’t be any repercussions, 

we want them 

back. Even if they are just 

left there in the garden, we 

are more than happy to 

replant them,” he said. 

“It’s just disappointing to 

see someone stealing plants 

in a supposedly affluent 

area.”

Ticking off the bucket list 

•From page 1 

Said Chris: “I focked the 

fockers and knocked the Crown 

Range off without stopping,” she 

said. 

It came a week after her first 

cycle over Sumner Rd, which 

Chris said she wanted to be alive 

to do. 

“I’m still so emotional about it. 

I’d forgotten how beautiful the 

view (from Sumner Rd) was,” she 

said. 

“I was biking along and 

thinking this is so amazing.” 

Sumner Rd was closed after the 

earthquakes and reopened on the 

last Friday of March. 

Chris’ ride was the first time 

she had been on a bike outdoors 

since August. 

“The feeling I had was just 

that I’m so lucky. You forget 

everything else. I do it to spite 

the fockers,” she said. 

On April 10, 2014, Chris was 

told she had a gastrointestinal 

neuroendocrine tumour, which 

has spread and is terminal and 

inoperable. 

It’s the same kind of cancer that 

Apple founder Steve Jobs died of 

in 2011. 

Since her diagnosis, the active 

Sumner resident has been 

doing everything in her power 

to finish her bucket list, which 

included several trips to cycle the

her from cycling 630km to

Alpes d’Huez section of the Tour 

de France, as well as making it up 

Evans Pass. 

But while Chris had been in 

remission, the cancer has come 

back. 

“I’ve had to start 

treatment again, it’s been five 

weeks since my last session and 

I’m as sick as a dog.” 

She hasn’t been able to eat 

properly and has been on an IV. 

Her next treatment is on April 

30 and she plans to ask her 

doctors how long she has left 

– then she plans to prove them 


wrong. 

More than $50,000 was raised 

for Chris to have radiation 

treatment in Australia, which 

is not funded through the New 

Zealand health system. 

While she was in her hospital 

bed in Melbourne, Chris said 

she saw a poster advertising the 

Unicorn Foundation, the only 

charity focused on patients with 

her rare form of cancer, which 

was looking for participants in 

the Tour of New Zealand. 

“I thought that’s me. Stop 

wallowing and sign up for it.” 

It’s a 630km cycle, which 

covers between 70-100km a 

day, including hill climbs like 

the Crown Range. It started in 

Queenstown and will finish in 

Wellington on Saturday. 

“I’m hoping to do most of it, 

but I don’t know what’s up with 

my body. I know what’s going 

on in my head, but now I have to 

listen to my body,” she said. 

Chris finds going up hill a lot 

easier. The invasive treatment 

she’s been having means she’s lost 

a lot of weight. “My bike pants are 

loose,” she said.

THE PUBLIC toilets at Stoddart 

Point Reserve in Diamond 

Harbour have been closed due to 

a suspected sewage leak. 

The toilets were closed on 

March 18 and temporary toilets 

were put in place the following 

week. 

City council community 

parks manager 

Al Hardy said the 

toilets were closed 

to eliminate any 

potential health 

hazards. 

“Subsurface 

samples returned 

results indicating E. 

coli, with possible 

sources being 

either sewage or 

bird droppings 

from a roosting tree. There are 

investigations under way to 

establish what is going on with 

the area,” he said. 

The project to repair the toilets 

is in its early stages. 

Mr Hardy said the city council 

has been aware of the issue since 

late February.

She said the overuse of her

PIONEERS: Marc Dupree Plato 

and Murray Stewart became 

the first people to ride electric 

unicycles over the newlyopened 

Sumner Rd. 

Unicyclists 

ride repaired 

Sumner Rd 


SUMNER’S MURRAY Stewart 

made history on Thursday. 

Mr Stewart and his friend Marc 

Dupree Plato of Halswell became 

the first people to ride electric 

unicycles over the newly-opened 

Sumner Rd. 

The electric unicycle enthusiasts 

drove halfway in one of their 

cars and rode the remainder of 

the road to Lyttelton on their 

unicycles. 

The two then stopped in at 

Wunderbar and performe a few 

stunts for patrons. 

“The owner couldn’t believe it, 

he was moving furniture around 

so we could do loops around the 

pool table,” said Mr Stewart. 

The pair then unicycled 

through the local supermarket. 

“People were just staring and 

their mouths were just hanging 

open.” 

Mr Stewart, who has lived 

in Sumner for 30 years said he 

regularly used his unicycle to run 

errands throughout town. 

He even used it to visit his 

father in hospital. 

“Parking is such a nightmare 

so you just jump on the unicycle, 

straight through reception to the 

lift and I was up to the third floor 

in no time to see my dad.” 


A MURAL encapsulating the 

strength of the local surfing 

community has been painted 

on the side of Joe’s Garage in 

Sumner. 

The mural was created by 

United States artist and surfer 

Ty Williams with the help of 

Sumner surfers he called his 

“surrogate family.” 

Williams said the mural, which 

was originally intended to accompany 

the Single Fin Mingle 

surf competition last weekend, 

gained deeper meaning in the 

context of the mosque shootings. 

The artist from Maine said he 

wanted to use his art to become 

part of the heartening response 

shown from New Zealand in the 

wake of tragedy. 

“I just thought If I had the opportunity 

to bring a little bit of 

light to a dark situation why not,” 

he said. 

Williams said he was overwhelmed 

by the reaction from 

New Zealand. 

“Coming from the States I 

think it is enormously inspiring,” 

he said. 

“Not only in the response of 

gun legislation change but also 

in the way of responding to the 

individuals affected with love 

rather than looking to retaliate, 

a much more human response I 

feel, this is how we really should 

be doing it in the States.” 

Williams also sold some of his 

art at the Single Fin Mingle surf 

festival. 

He donated a large portion 

of the profits made from his art 

towards the victim support fund. 

Joe’s Garage Sumner owner 

operator Callum Brownlee said 

the mural has been well received 

by customers.

which is a bit of an eyesore so it is

he said. 

Cottage repairs likely to start next month 


PROGRESS IS being made 

with the repair of Jeannie’s 

Cottage in Akaroa. 

City council head of parks 

Andrew Rutledge said repairs 

had been approved and pricing 

of the work was being finalised. 

However, he could not provide 

an exact start date for the repairs. 

“The contract hasn’t been let 

yet, so it really is too early to 

provide a start date. All going 

well, it is hoped that work may 

start at the beginning to middle 

of May,” he said. 

The cottage at 40 Rue Jolie 

was built in the late 1870s. 

The expression of interest 

process has closed and the 

future use of the building will 

not be determined until a report 

is presented to the Banks 

Peninsula Community Board 

in May. 

The Akaroa Civic Trust did 

not want to comment without 

knowing what the extent of the 

repairs would be. 

However, the trust did 

previously express concerns 

that the cottage was getting 

to a point beyond repair in 

December.

Vittoria 

playing with 

her first set of 

crayons. 

Budding young artist 

GOOD NEWS! After a 

standard “where is my 

food?” tantrum I found my 

mouse. 

Vittoria’s tantrum, not 

mine, just to be clear. 

My morning routine 

generally consists of 

dragging myself out of 

bed while Vittoria causes 

chaos out of reach before 

struggling to get both her 

and my breakfasts ready 

before her hungry tantrum 

kicks in. 

It’s surprising how 

much you sweat when a 

small child is screaming 

into the kitchen while you 

try and let your wife sleep 

in. 

So last Friday, as I “took 

too long” to get her Weet- 

Bix and fruit ready, Vittoria 

took to pulling apart the 

shoe rack to teach me a 

lesson. 

Normally I’d step in to 

stop it, but in the interest 

of expediency I decided to 

just put it all back together 

after we’d eaten. 

Lo and behold, 

underneath the running 

shoes I definitely only talk 

about using was my mouse. 

Thank the lord. 

This week, Vittoria got 

her first set of crayons. 

They’re out of reach when 

she’s not under strict 

supervision. 

The walls in our rental 

property are cream, I 

intend for them to stay that 

way. 

Laura managed to get her 

to draw onto a pad while I 

was out a couple of weeks 

ago and we hung it on the 

fridge. 

I’ve finally reached that 

stage of life. So we got her 

the crayons in the interest 

of seeing her be able to 

artistically express herself 

more often. 

I don’t know artists 

because I’m a complete 

philistine, but she’s just 

like that classical artist 

who would pour so much 

VITTORIA 

& Matt 

passion into their art that 

they eventually tear it up 

and eat some of it. 

So we have one more 

masterpiece on the fridge 

so far. 

In regards to my 

morning routine, I will be 

enjoying my first sleep-in 

in some time on Sunday. 

I’m going away for the 

dragon boat nationals 

at Lake Karapiro from 

Thursday evening to 

Sunday night. 

It’ll be the longest 

time I’ve been away 

from Vittoria, so there’s 

a tinge of sadness to my 

excitement.

PAY UP: Akaroa 

residents are 

calling for 

cruise ships to 

be charged $5 

per passenger 

to fund 

infrastructure in 

the town. 

Support for Akaroa passenger levy 


AKAROA RESIDENTS are 

calling for the city council 

to charge cruise ships $5 per 

passenger to fund infrastructure. 

The city council will not be 

able to do this through a levy, but 

could increase its berthing fees. 

By the end of March, 

the city council had 

made $942,417 from 

its existing berthing 

fees for the 2018/2019 

season. How much 

of this will be put 

into infrastructure 

in Akaroa is yet to be 

determined. 

If the city council charged 

cruise ships $5 per passenger 

this season on top of its current 

berthing fees, it would make an 

additional $959,970 by the end 

of this season based on projected 

passenger numbers. 

City council head of parks 

Andrew 

Rutledge 

Andrew Rutledge said providing 

and maintaining Akaroa’s 

infrastructure is a core city 

council function. 

He said $400,000 of forecasted 

revenue from the next cruise ship 

season, which starts on October 

5, has been allocated towards 

infrastructure 

in the town. 

Mr Rutledge 

said the 

money would 

go towards 

the Akaroa 

wharf and 

other onshore 

services. 

However, 

Akaroa Civic Trust chairman 

Mike Norris, who came up with 

the idea to charge cruise ships 

$5 per passenger, said $400,000 

would not go very far. 

“Sea walls, road maintenance, 

we have also got to deal with 

a very expensive issue of the 

Mike Norris 

sewage as well, not to mention 

the construction of the health 

hub. Akaroa is very expensive to 

maintain,” he said. 

Banks Peninsula city 

councillor and Deputy Mayor 

Andrew Turner was not against 

the idea. “Given the discussions 

that have become 

increasingly prevalent 

about the need for more 

infrastructure around 

Akaroa, the idea for a 

berthing fee increase 

is possibly one way we 

could look at dealing 

with infrastructure 

requirements,” he said. 

The idea to increase 

berthing fees has also been 

supported by the Akaroa 

Ratepayers and Residents 

Association. “The berthing 

fee increase would go towards 

satisfying the needs of local 

people and the tourism industry,” 

said president Harry Stronach.

Infrastructure for cruise 

ships criticised in survey 

•From page 1 

“This (Akaroa Issues 

Working) Group continues to 

identify the major maintenance 

issues in Akaroa and report 

them to the (Banks Peninsula) 

Community Board and to act as 

an advisory group to city council 

staff on maintenance matters.” 

Mr Stronach said the way the 

city council has dealt with cruise 

ships in Akaroa contributed to 

residents’ dissatisfaction. 

However, the city council 

spokesperson said the 

survey was not a complete 

representation of Akaroa 

residents. 

“The residents’ association 

survey presents one view of 

Economic impact of cruise 

ship visits on Akaroa 

•In Akaroa, 34 per cent 

of transactions were from 

Christchurch residents and 66 

per cent from visitors. 

•This equates to $14 million 

per year spent by visitors in 

the township (out of a total 

spend of $20.8 million). 

•Of this, international 

visitors spent $7.3 million (156 

per cent growth since 2015), 

domestic visitors spent $3.5 

million (107 per cent growth 

since 2015) and non-local 

Christchurch and Canterbury 

residents spent $2.3 million 

the impact of cruise ship visits. 

However, we are aware this 

is not a view that is shared by 

all in the Akaroa community. 

ChristchurchNZ has received a 

petition, signed by 310 business 

owners or residents, to “provide 

support to the cruise lines” and 

make it clear that they are “very 

welcome to visit Akaroa.” 

Eighty per cent of respondents 

from the survey said 

infrastructure for cruise ships 

was inadequate. Sixty-nine per 

cent felt the number of cruise 

ships should be limited, with the 

average number proposed being 

40 per year – less than half of the 

92 cruise ships scheduled in the 

2018-2019 season. 

(104 per cent growth since 

2015). 

•Of the visitor spend, 81.4 

per cent of this is attributable 

to cruise ship passengers 

(based on a comparison of 

cruise passenger data with 

accommodation data). 

•This is a total spend of 

$8.8 million by cruise ship 

visitors in Akaroa, representing 

42 per cent of the total 

amount of money spent in the 

town. 

•Akaroa represents the 

largest proportion of the visitor 

economy spend in Banks 

Peninsula. 

Swimsuits 

and service 

You can have both.. 

Starfish Swimwear have been making swimsuits 

in Christchurch since 1997, and in that time 

they have had several moves due to fire and 

earthquakes but are now back doing what 

they love at 239c Colombo Street. 

Starfish are well know for custom making 

suits to get that perfect fit and in the colour 

of your choice. However there is always 

plenty of choice on the racks. And being 

open all year round there’s no need to 

panic if you have a mid-winter holiday 

planned. 

If you are a regular swimmer Starfish 

specialize in chlorine resistant - a must for 

those aqua classes or a soak in the spa. 

The staff at Starfish have many years of 

experience and can help guide you to the 

choice that’s right for you and your needs.

Steam Extravaganza 

The weekend of the 13th and 14th April 

promises to demonstrate how steam 

worked when steam was king. 

Steam Scene can be found on McLean’s 

Island Road. The day is a living, 

breathing, educational attraction where 

steam powered machinery can be 

experienced in all its glory. Devoted 

enthusiasts show you what these engines 

did in the early 1900’s. 

The Society has recently celebrated 

its 50th Anniversary. It has turned 

the Steam Extravaganza into New 

Zealand’s premier Steam Gathering 

with exhibits ranging from models to 2 

steam locomotives. We will be expecting 

about 25 traction engines and other 

steam driven vehicles to be on display 

and operating working displays of saw 

milling, sheep shearing, grain threshing, 

road making, stone crushing and black 

smithing. A blacksmith will be shaping 

hot metal with a manner on an Anvil. 

A free steam train ride will be 

circulating around the perimeter of 

Steam Scene with two open-sided 

carriages that people can ride on to view 

what is going on around you. 

The Steam Museum will be operating 

its many steam machines from a 

wood-fired boiler. This Museum 

is now known worldwide as a 

must see for steam enthusiasts who 

love watching the engines quietly 

ticking over. Family fun can be had 

looking at the scenery, watching 

and listening to the huge Model 

Railway in the Museum. The 

scenery is based on England in 

the 1950’s. 

A miniature railway is running all day 

with rides costing $2.00. Major working 

displays in purposely built covered 

areas will be staggered throughout the 

weekend making it as easy to see how big 

shiny pistons, driving rods and flywheels 

are linked together to turn steam into 

motive power. You can marvel at the 

workers who had to work long hours on 

these machines. 

Food and drink stalls will be on hand 

for refreshments. There is plenty of off 

road parking. Gates will open at 9am 

with the final demonstrations at approx. 

2pm on both days. 

There is Eftpos on site. Entry fee is 

$15 per adult and children under 15 are 

free. 

No dogs are permitted. 

People of all ages can get up-close to 

machines and experience themselves 

what it was like to operate such vehicles 

in the old days as well as the sounds and 

aromas generated by them.

Kiwis are well-known for their

great deal these past nine years,

March 15. 

Generally we are great at getting

my hat off to our local emergency

to our communities during 

difficult times. It’s more than 

a job to them as they have the best 

interests of us all at heart. 

Autumn is certainly starting 

to show its golden hue on the 

foliage around the Port Hills and

to look forward to in the coming 

months with school holidays approaching,

Lyttelton and Christchurch was 

the re-opening of the 2.6km link 

connecting Sumner and Lyttelton 

over Evans Pass. It is great to see 

residents, businesses and cyclists 

once again enjoying this scenic 

route. 

In spite of the cooler weather we 

still have fire restrictions in place 

and Level 3 water restrictions until 

31 May when we will get back 

to chlorine-free water again – I 

know we are all looking forward 

to this. 

Wishing you all happy holidays

Make insurance cost-effective for families

Board

Darrell 

Latham discusses the 

challenge coastal residents 

face with insurance 

They say that insurance is like 

a parachute, if it isn’t there the 

first time chances are you won’t 

be needing it again. 

The problem is the insurance 

parachute now seems to have 

multiple holes or fails to open. 

Local residents are facing an 

onslaught by their insurance providers. 

One Christchurch man 

was left dumfounded after his 

insurance premium rose by 440 

per cent from $2300 to $12843 a 

year. A Sumner family has faced 

an increase in premium of 315 

per cent from $2071 to $6532. 

This is not insurance, its extortion. 

Others examples I have on file 

include letters received by coastal 

residents from their insurance 

provider declining future cover. 

The good old Kiwi attitude of 

‘love thy neighbour’ is taking a 

battering from insurers. Previously

Kenn Poulsen responds to 

last week’s Bay Harbour 

News article about 

Diamond Harbour residents 

being unhappy with the 

new navigation aids 

lighting up the harbour and 

their living rooms at night 

In reference to the article about 

local Diamond Harbour residents 

being “up in arms.” 

If your paper had been dated 

April 1, I could have seen the 

humour in this article. 

However, if this is indeed a 

serious article about some local 

folk expressing their outrage at 

the temerity of the Lyttelton Port 

Company to actually be improving 

shipping safety –well, I don’t 

know what to say, without being 

offensive. 

be spread across New Zealand. 

Insurance companies are now 

pricing earthquake, coastal and 

other hazards on a risk-based 

modelling approach. 

Some of us live in coastal 

hazard locations. However, all 

Christchurch ratepayers and 

New Zealanders are exposed to 

risks of one sort or another. 

The message from Commerce 

and Consumer Affairs Minister 

Perhaps the good folk of 

Diamond Harbour can band 

together to insist the township of 

Lyttelton turn off all their lights 

at night. 

It is rather bright over that side 

Kris Faafoi is that the issue of 

accessibility to insurance cover 

wasn’t bad enough for him to 

justify stepping in. 

“We’re a long way away from 

intervention, but we’re obviously 

watching it very carefully, 

because risks [around climate 

change and more severe weather 

events] are increasing,” he said. 

“Insurance cover for kiwis is 

extremely important to the 


Government.” 

If insurance cover is important 

to the Minister and the Government, 

then intervention is 

needed now. Families are being 

impacted and the social repercussions 

are high. 

Buying a home is part of the 

Kiwi dream. Accessible and cost 

effective house insurance can 

determine successful purchase or 

sale of a house. 

In such uncertain times insurers 

should not exclusively decide 

annual premiums. Why? Because 

they made headlines in 2018 as 

their moves to “price premiums 

sent premiums through the 

roof.’’ 

The risk needs to be managed. 

central government, insurers, 

re-insurers, local councils and 

banks need to work together to 

ensure the availability of cost effective 

insurance for all families. 

So much depends on it. 

The time to act is now. 

of the harbour, after dark. 

And of course, no portside 

work at night, all that noise 

– plus any after-dark sailings 

should be cancelled. 

For that matter, I can hear aircraft 

approaching Christchurch 

Airport at night on a nor’west 

breeze, so we must insist that all 

flights are cancelled after dark, 

as well. 

And now that the Sumner Rd 

is finally open again between 

Lyttelton and Sumner – all those 

pesky, bright car lights driving 

around the hills at night – why, 

this will have to come to an end 

immediately. 

At some stage, modern life and 

all its conveniences must surely 

reach Diamond Harbour, and 

those new-fangled inventions 

such as blinds and drapes, may 

be available to reduce the glare 

and ensure that good folk sleep 

soundly in their beds at night. 

Oh, hang on – what about the 

dawn chorus – sorry, those birds 

will have to go as well.

How long to sell? 

That’s a question that has been popping up a lot lately. 

Homeowners coming to the market are asking more 

questions about the market, including the time it takes 

to sell. In January this year Canterbury figures were 

recorded as 56 days to sell and in February it was 54. 

March figures haven’t been released yet but I suspect 

it will be similar. Compare this to a couple of years ago 

when it seemed like properties were selling as soon as 

the signboard went up! 

It’s hard to pin-point an exact reason because we are 

still seeing plenty of buyers turning up to open homes. In 

fact a property we are currently marketing in Heathcote 

for Deadline Sale has had 60 groups through in the first 

2 weekends! Interest rates are at an historical low with 

some banks now quoting 1 and 2 year mortgage rates 

under 4%. Unemployment rates are steady and the lofty 

price of petrol at the pump has eased somewhat in the 

past few months! 

However, what we are seeing 

time and again are properties 

with well structured and well 

run marketing campaigns are 

generally attracting more 

buyers and more offers. 

As we know, when you can 

generate good interest and 

competing offers then the 

chance of a better outcome is greatly increased. But just 

be prepared for a slightly longer time on the market, 

listen to market feedback and keep in mind that your 

first offer might still be your best offer. As agents our 

focus is on providing up to the minute market feedback 

so when you are considering offers you have enough 

market information to make the right decision. 

Call us anytime to discuss the market and marketing 

options that best suit you and your property.

Food as it should be 

LOCATED at the foot of Soleares Ave in Mt 

Pleasant is an amazing little business that is big on 

nutrition - Mumma Bear. 

The busy kitchen/shop produces healthy, nutritious 

mueslis, porridges, granolas, crackers and bars that 

are made with wholegrains, fruit, nuts and seeds. All 

the good stuff that keeps us fueled for longer! 

Owner/operator Rose Lindley, aka Mumma Bear to 

her family and friends, has a lifelong love of preparing 

great food. 

“I’m a foodie and I used to write recipes for a health 

and fitness website,” said Rose. “It’s always been my 

dream to open my own food business.” 

Rose said up until she opened the Mt Pleasant 

production kitchen two years ago, she used to drive 

out to a commercial kitchen in Lincoln to make her 

products. Back then she had two products. She is now 

producing sixteen! 

“At Mumma Bear we believe that food should both 

taste great and have a healthy nutritional profile. My 

husband Tim is retired and he was a food scientist, so 

he does all my nutritional stuff.” 

But the good taste of Mumma Bear isn’t just 

available at the Mt Pleasant production kitchen. You 

can find it at some of the local weekend farmers 

markets. 

“We’re open every Wednesday from 10am to 4pm 

or anytime you see ‘Doris the bike’ outside, but we 

encourage you to bring your own containers to help 

reduce waste.” 

You’ll also find them at the Farmers Market in 

both Lyttelton and Deans Bush from 9am to 1pm 

on Saturdays and at the Opawa Farmers Market on 

Sundays selling pre-packed goods. Online orders are 

also available at www.mummab.co.nz or by emailing 

tim@mummab.co.nz. 

But Rose’s passion extends further than nutrition. 

She is a retired recovery nurse who recently traveled 

to West Africa to volunteer for aid work on the Mercy 

Ship. 

“The Mercy Ships organisation is more than 30 

years old. They provide free medical and surgical care 

for impoverished people along the coast of Africa. 

There is a huge stigma about disability there, it is 

considered a curse. These people are ostracised from 

their communities because they are disfigured so they 

come to the ship,” explained Rose. “I was on it for 

three weeks. Some volunteers are on it for two weeks 

and the longest person has been on it for 30 years. I 

wish I had done it when I was in my 20’s. I would have 

gone back, but it’s a bit late now, it is a long journey 

to travel. Mercy Ships is Mumma Bear’s charity of 

choice.”

HIGHS AND 

LOWS: The 

first XI finished 

mid table in the 

championship. 

Sumner cricket wrap-up 

Sumner cricket 

club captain 

Dan Vann wraps 

up the cricket 

season 

SO THAT’S it for 

the 2018/19 season. It has been 

another enjoyable and successful 

season in a number of ways. It 

has been awesome to welcome so 

many new players to the club and 

they have slotted in very well. 

•The first XI 

(championship): The 

first XI had a mixed season, 

many personal milestones 

and achievements and lots of 

growth from young players. 

Unfortunately, lack of consistency 

and being on the wrong side of 

many tight matches meant they 

finished mid to lower table. Tom 

Davie, our overseas player from 

England, has been outstanding 

with the bat scoring more than 

500 runs, including a maiden 

100. Michael Newton-Vesty had 

an impressive first half of the 

season with the bat, averaging 

more than 50 before Christmas. 

George Moore, who we sadly 

lost after Christmas due to a 

new job, was the rock of our 

batting and scored close to 400 

runs in half a season, including 

a maiden century for Sumner. 

After Christmas, Brett Taylor 

had a huge surge in runs scoring 

a tonne and two fifties in three 

weeks. Jonny Percasky was 

again the leading wicket-taker 

with more than 40, including an 

SPORT 

impressive 6-53 on the last day. 

Dan Vann closely followed and 

also took career best figures of 

6-6. We look forward to seeing 

how the younger players develop 

and perform next season. 

•The Mighty (division 

three): Another outstanding 

season from The Mighty. Consistent 

performances meant they 

were the top side in the league 

and took out the major trophy 

at the end of the round-robin. 

A slip-up in the final meant 

they finished second in the 

minor trophy. Josh Hurrell again 

cleaned up with the ball, taking 

more than 50 wickets, including 

a 7-9; Simon Turner led the 

run-scoring closely followed by 

Regan Cantwell and Jeremy Boyd 

who both scored tonnes as well. 

We look forward to another solid 

season from our most consistent 

team in the club for some time 

now. 

•The Blues (division four): 

The Blues were largely made up 

of new players to the club with 

some stalwarts returning, led 

by Marcus Thompson after he 

retired from the first XI. Before 

Christmas, the Blues were struggling 

somewhat with only a 

couple of wins, but a lot of tight 

losses, mainly due to lack of runs 

to defend. After Christmas, they 

saw the return of ex-Sumner first 

XI player, Todd Burnett, who was 

a great acquisition and was consistent 

with bat and ball. Some 

other players found their feet and 

wins began to come more often. 

The competition was extremely 

close so there was always a hope 

of sneaking into the finals and 

they eventually managed to finish 

third. They then convincingly 

won their semi by eight wickets 

and the final by nine wickets. An 

outstanding result for our newest 

team. Marcus Thompson was 

the rock of the Blues batting (463 

runs at 38.6) and Simar Kang 

the enforcer with the ball (42 

wickets at 8.9), both leading the 

comp respectively. Many other 

players made good contributions 

throughout. 

•The Presidents: The Pressies 

had another great year. They 

were always there or thereabouts 

each week, picking up wins 

far more consistently than last 

season. Eventually, they finished 

the round-robin in third, which 

meant they played a full round 

against the top four sides and 

managed to beat a very strong 

St Albans for the first time. On 

the last day, if they beat East 

Shirley they would have shared 

the silverware but Easts were too 

strong on the day so they finished 

third overall. Skipper Paul Russell 

scored more than 500 runs, 

closely followed by Ben Yock, who 

notched up 500. Wickets were 

shared around with Jashwinder 

Singh at the top with 20. 

Heathcote hands out 

senior and junior awards 

HEATHCOTE celebrated the 

end of the cricket season over 

the weekend at their senior 

prize-giving. 

The prize-giving followed the 

junior event, which was held the 

previous weekend. Heathcote 

had 11 senior sides competing 

this summer. The club’s premier 

side won promotion to the 

metro premiership – becoming 

the first club to do so since the 

new promotion/relegation system 

was implemented. 

Highlights included overseas 

import Tom Payne taking 52 

wickets and scoring 465 runs. 

Ben Cochrane was the top 

wicket-taker with 56, while Matt 

House was the top run-scorer 

with 700. 

In the junior ranks, the winner 

of the John Garry Trophy for 

most runs over the whole junior 

club and the Valley Inn Trophy 

for most wickets in the whole 

club was Joshua McIlrath with 

435 runs and 20 wickets. It was 

the first time the same junior 

has won both. Issac Russell and 

Liam Hall got a place on the 

junior honours board for taking 

hat tricks.

Missed opportunities 

again costly for Sumner 

HONOURS: Georgia Matheson and Sue Cooke (right) won the 

doubles title in a tight 6-4 final against Charli and Jo Watts.

Hamish France combined to win 

their final against youngsters 

Harvey Watts and Finlay Murray 

9-1. 

In the women’s singles Charli 

Watts came out victorious by

FAILING TO take advantage 

of two good opportunities in 

the opening 10min against 

Shirley on Saturday has seen 

Sumner slump to their second 

loss in the premier metro rugby 

competition. 

Sumner fell 12-18 at Burwood 

Park in their second straight 

loss to begin the season in what 

coach Martin Dodgson described 

as a game where his side 

gave away as many turnovers 

as should be expected in four 

matches. 

There were two silver linings 

from the weekend with the 

side’s defensive effort improving 

ten-fold on their opening round 

loss to Christchurch. With five 

frontline forwards unavailable 

the club were also able to field a 

strong side with numbers on the 

rise this year. 

“We actually had too many 

players available for the division 

two side. Last year we’d struggle 

to make up 15 players for the 

division two side and a few of 

them would then have to sit on 

the bench for division one,” said 

Dodgson. 

The average age of Sumner’s 

starting 15 against Shirley was 

also given a massive boost by 

Robbie Timo who continued to 

defy his years by starting at prop 

just over a month shy of his 50th 

birthday. 

On Saturday, Sumner host

their first home game of the 

season at St Leonards Park 

against Marist Albion. They 

will also break in a rejuvenated 

club and changing rooms after a 

working bee was held on Sunday 

to upgrade the clubrooms. The 

work included new paint and 

carpets. 

A big turnout of old boys is 

also expected for the match 

to celebrate the 10-year 

anniversary of the clubs 

division two winning side 

which granted Sumner’s 

promotion into the premier 

division for the first time in 

2010. 

Ava rips through field to 

take Kaikoura grom titles 

TAYLORS MISTAKE’S Ava 

Henderson ripped through 

an experienced field of surfers 

to claim the under-16 and 18 

divisions at the Kaikoura grom 

comp over the weekend. 

Ava, 13, posted a 10.7 point 

heat total in the final of the 

girls division to hold off her 

step-sister Estella Hungerford, 

who finished with 10.2 points. 

Ava left her run late to claim the 

win. Double finalists Natasha 

Gouldsbury from Taranaki and 

Liv Haysom from Piha finished 

in third and fourth respectively. 

Ava, Natasha and Liv all 

contested a very tight under-16 

division final, alongside Leah 

Wilson. Ava managed her 

second win of the day, while 

Natasha went one better than 

the 18s with a runner-up finish. 

Leah finished third in the final 

with Liv in fourth. 

The Kaikoura grom 

competition was the sixth event 

of the New Zealand grom series 

and doubled as the final event of 

the South Island series, which 

attracted a hefty field of surfers 

from around the country. 

The solid 1.5m swell endured 

by competitors on Saturday 

MAKING WAVES: Ava Henderson, 13, took out the under-16 

and 18 divisions at the Kaikoura grom comp. 

decreased overnight to a clean 

1m swell with solid set waves 

still pulsing in, but certainly a 

more manageable line up than 

day one. 

The final rankings of the 

South Island Grom Series were 

also confirmed after the event in 

which Henderson won both the 

under-18 and 16 age groups. 

Sumner athletes 

enjoy success at 

Verdeco Park run 

Sumner 

Running 

Club coach 

Lisa Brignull 

reports on the 

Verdeco Park 

Tai Tapu Run 

Festival on 

Sunday 

STARTED IN 1979 and held 

with the goal of fundraising for 

the New Brighton Olympic Club 

and the running community at 

large, the Verdeco Park Tai Tapu 

Run Festival has now become an 

event which serious athletes often 

use as a training run prior to 

marathons or half-marathons. 

However, from the original 

16km competitive event, the 

festival has grown to support 

the strong relationship between 

mental health and staying active. 

This is why the event not only 

features a nationally-recognised 

(now 15km instead of 16km) race 

but also a 15km fun run for those 

who wish to push their limits in a 

less competitive way. 

The four male Sumner 

athletes crossed the line in very 

impressive times, with Chris 

Dunell finishing second overall 

in a time of 49min 38sec; Nathan 

Jones fourth overall in a time of 

52min 2sec; Ben Aynsley fifth 

overall in a time of 52min 18sec; 

and Paul Timothy sixth overall 

in a time of 52min 23sec. 

The two female Sumner 

athletes did the club proud too, 

with Lisa Brignull finishing 

fifth overall and first in her age 

category in a time of 1hr 36sec 

and Robyn Perkins finishing 

seventh overall and first in her 

age category in a time of 1hr 

9min 34sec. 

The Sumner Running Club is 

looking forward to Saturday and 

the inaugural run of the season 

– the Hagley Park Memorial four 

person relay race. 

This is a great early season 

event on a flat course in beautiful 

surroundings. 

Sumner is also looking forward 

to having a huge number of 

athletes representing the club at 

this event.

Black Commodore at home on racetrack 

Motoring 

Ross Kiddie 

I’M RELUCTANT to turn down 

any invitation that involves laps 

on a racetrack. 

So when Holden New Zealand 

asked me if I would like to spend 

a morning at Pukekohe Raceway 

with other media, and former 

race car driver Greg Murphy 

in attendance, I jumped at the 

opportunity. 

The cars we were to drive were 

variations of the new ZB-series 

Commodore, both four-cylinder 

and V6 models, coinciding with 

the first anniversary of its launch 

here. 

To mark the occasion, Holden 

has also issued a limited release 

Black Edition variant. It has a 

special collection of aesthetic 

adornments available in just 40 

units throughout April, and is 

a no-cost option on the sport 

liftback models 2-litre and 3.6- 

litre V6. 

Notably, the pack includes 

black facia inserts, black grille 

surrounds, black grille wings, 

black window surrounds and 

Black Edition badging. 

The new Commodore lands 

here with three engine variations. 

There are two four-cylinder 

2-litre models, one petrol and 

one diesel, and the V6 which 

has four-wheel-drive. The 

four-cylinder units are both 

turbocharged and drive through 

the front wheels only. 

While the drivelines are vastly 

different to what Commodore 

owners have previously enjoyed, 

there are both wagon and liftback 

options along with varying grade 

levels. There are 12 models in the 

line-up, this evaluation focuses 

on the V6 RS-V liftback. 

The new European-sourced 

Commodore is everything big car 

owners will relate to, it is quiet, 

comfortable and in V6 form 

it is very powerful, although it 

took me a while to get my head 

around the fact that it is fourwheel-drive 

and the engine sits 

transversely under the bonnet, 

in contrast to its Aussie-built 

predecessors which all had 

longitudinal configurations. 

Developing 235kW and 

381Nm, the engine is strong 

and delivers with a nice sound, 

it isn’t overbearing, but you can 

tell it is an angry, feisty unit 

which likes to work hard. Of 

course, being a large capacity V6 

it doesn’t have to hunt towards 

the high end of the rev band, it is 

hooked to a conventional ninespeed 

automatic transmission 

HOLDEN COMMODORE BLACK EDITION: Four-wheel-drive 

enhances grip for road or track. 

that works to keep the revs low, 

changing early so that fuel use 

is minimised. On that subject, 

Holden claim an 8.9l/100km 

(32mpg) combined cycle average 

for the V6. 

The driveline is wonderful, it 

is silky smooth in all areas and 

provides that large car power 

that we have come to expect 

from Commodore. At open road 

speed, movement is hushed and it 

glides over road ripples balanced 

and poised. 

A lot of the latter is due to 

the all-drive system, the new 

Commodore feels controlled 

and tight in the chassis. Saying 

that, the suspension is absorbent, 

the spring and damper rates are 

biased towards moderate and 

the in-cabin ride is glorious. It 

also cruises beautifully on the 

highway, it has poise, balance and 

a high level of comfort. 

When pushed into the quick 

corners on the Pukekohe track, 

surety within the floorpan 

provides confidence, there is a 

lot of feedback from what the 

tyres are doing in relation to 

the track surface, and sitting on 

high quality sport specification 

Continental rubber (245/45 x 

18in) there is a lot of natural 

grip and directional stability on 

offer. And with ‘Murph’ guiding 

journalists to the best lines and 

apexes, the Commodore does 

reflect sporty performance. 

A lot of that also has to do 

with the development work 

Holden Australia did with the 

Commodore for the down under 

market. 

Of course, it is also about 

replicating the large car profile we 

are used to as buyers, and it does 

that brilliantly. Not only is there 

a huge area to spread around 

inside, there is alsogenerous load 

space. 

In RS-V specification, the 

V6 liftback sits at $58,990. For

that money it comes with a 

high degree of specification, 

major items include full leather 

trim with heated seats, MyLink 

infotainment network, head-up 

display, paddle-shift transmission 

selectors and satellite navigation. 

Of course, the new generation 

Commodore also qualifies for 

a five-star Australasian New 

Car Assessment Program safety 

rating. 

Even though it is different in 

many areas, General Motors 

has done well to make the new 

Commodore feel like what a 

buyer would expect from the 

nameplate. I’d go as far as to 

say it has done that well, it feels 

very Commodore-like and it 

is a pleasurable drive for all 

occupants. 

For anyone contemplating a 

Commodore purchase and likes 

what the Black Edition has to 

offer, you had better be quick. It’s 

not likely to be a model that will 

sit around on showroom floors.

The Blue Day Book 

by Bradley Trevor Greive 

A completely fresh and utterly charming reimagining of the modern 

classic Blue Day Book. 

A completely fresh and utterly charming reimagining of the modern classic Blue 

Day Book twenty years after its first printing. With an adorable new hero, Elephant, 

whom we join on a deeply emotional life-journey that is familiar to us all, Keane’s 

wonderful images and BTG’s witty and inspirational text are designed to lift the 

spirits of anyone who’s got the blues. No one can read this this book without smiling: it’s guaranteed. 

We all have our bad days - they are an intrinsic part of being human. The solution is to see each incident in perspective, 

recognize that our feelings of failure and loss are neither unique nor enduring, acknowledge the absurdities of our existence, 

and glory in the potential we all have. In fewer than one hundred sentences The Blue Day Book conveys this message with 

great compassion and humour, taking us through the complete evolution of a blue day - what it feels like, what causes it, 

how to get over it. 

The Blue Day Book has sold more than 2 million copies in Australia alone, and over 13 million in 115 countries worldwide. 

We have one copy of Bosh to give away, courtesy of Take Note Ferrymead. To be in the

TĀTOU KO MERE E WHAKAPONO ANA 

A NEW MARIAN COLLEGE FOR 2023 

MESSAGE FROM 

THE BOARD 

The Marian College Board is pleased 

to share the Bishop’s decision to 

relocate Marian College to north west 

Christchurch on a three hectare site. 

Our new College will neighbour St 

Joseph’s Primary School on land 

bordered by Vagues Road, Main North 

Road and Northcote Road, with the main 

entrance off Lydia Street. 

The new school is projected to cost in 

excess of $20 million and students are 

expected to start in February 2023. 

The Bishop said finding a new home for 

Marian College has always been one of 

his main priorities. The purchase of the 

former Foodstuffs warehouse property on 

Northcote Road has made this possible. 

He indicated scoping and design work 

will begin ready for when possession of 

the land takes place in April 2021. 

The news is exciting and very positive 

for Marian College and the changes are 

going to further strengthen and grow our 

Catholic community. 

Thank you to the Bishop on behalf of 

Marian College for his commitment to 

our future, and to the Catholic Diocese 

of Christchurch for its steady support 

over the years. 

The Catholic Bishop of Christchurch, Paul 

Martin and Marian College Principal Mary- 

Lou Davidson visiting Marian College’s 

new Papanui site. 

Thank you also to our school community 

for your loyalty and patience and to all 

the schools, businesses and communities 

who have supported Marian since the 

earthquakes. It means a lot to us. 

We look forward to the challenges the 

next four years bring us and to having 

closer working relationships with St 

Joseph’s School Papanui and our brother 

school St Bede’s College. 

Tātou ko Mere e whakapono ana 

With Mary in faith 

Jan Paterson 

Marian College Board of Trustees Chair 

SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED 

What will the new school look like? 

It is too early to say just yet. What we do know is that we intend to ensure the Catholic 

special character, values, heritage and story of Marian is incorporated and reflected in our 

new school’s grounds and buildings. While we are fortunate to be getting a new school – 

the heart of Marian College will remain the same. 

Our new Forde Block (Social Sciences and Careers), which opened at the beginning 

of this year, combines the best of traditional and open-plan classroom settings within a 

multi-functional and sound-proof learning environment. So far, the feedback from students 

and teachers has been positive, so it’s likely our new school will have similarly designed 

classrooms. 

Will there be opportunities for input into the new school? 

Yes. We will be engaging with our school community and gathering ideas in coming 

months. 

Why is it taking until 2023 to get a new school? 

The newly purchased site is currently tenanted and the lease expires in 2021. The Catholic 

Diocese of Christchurch will then take possession of the land. In the meantime, there will 

be valuable time for consultation, scoping and design work, before construction starts. 

Will travel to and from the new school be more difficult? 

Our new site is conveniently located on main arterial roads including QEII Drive and the 

ring road to Eastern and seaside suburbs, Main North Road through to North Canterbury 

as well as the Orbiter bus route. Connecting cycleways include the Papanui Parallel 

Cycleway, Northern Line Cycleway and QEII Shared Cycleway. 

By the time our new school is ready, the Christchurch Northern Corridor will be open. It is 

expected this road will significantly reduce traffic volumes on Main North Road – by up to 

50 per cent. It will also create an opportunity for the city council to make changes to Main 

North Road resulting in improved public transport journey times. 

Access to transport is an important part of our planning. We are confident that our families 

will have suitable transport options for students travelling from more than 30 of our feeder 

primary schools - families living in Central and East Christchurch, the seaside suburbs and 

North Canterbury. 

My daughter is currently a senior student at Marian – will she feel left out? 

A wonderful aspect of Marian College is how supportive and understanding our school 

community is through periods of change. We often say: “once a Marian girl, always a 

Marian girl”. Marian College will be making every effort to include all students in the 

shaping of our new school - regardless of whether they will be attending. We are asking 

past students and staff of Marian College and also our founding schools St Mary’s College 

(Christchurch) and McKillop College, to provide valuable input into what the new school 

will look like.
